A new species of giant penguin has been identified from fossils
Drs Vanesa De Pietri, Paul Scofield and Gerald Mayr examine a Crossvallia waiparensis fossil at Canterbury Museum.
The fossilised remains of a huge penguin almost the size of an adult human have been found in New Zealand's South Island, scientists announced Wednesday. The giant waddling sea bird stood 1.6 metres (63 inches) high and weighed 80 kilograms, about four times heavier and 40cm taller than the modern Emperor penguin, researchers said. Named "crossvallia waiparensis", it hunted off New Zealand's coast in the Paleocene era, 66-56 million years ago. An amateur fossil hunter found leg bones belonging to the bird last year and it was confirmed as a new species in research published this week in "Alcheringa: An Australasian Journal of Palaeontology". ...

This summer, the
Peabody Essex Museum
invites you to roll up your sleeves and participate in a meditative sculptural installation by world-renowned Korean artist, Kimsooja. Archive of Mind transforms the simple, repetitive actions made by thousands of visitors into a monumental, texturally-complex sculpture. Sitting at a large work surface, Kimsooja encourages you to empty your mind of distraction and sink into the essentialized experience of forming a ball of clay with your hands. Over the course of the exhibition, thousands of clay spheres are generated, each revealing the emotional traces and individual signifiers of their makers. Kimsooja: Archive of Mind is on view at PEM from June 22, 2019 through January 19, 2020. There is a mesmerizing quality to the work as you watch it slowly build and see individual gestures accumulate into something large and powerful, says PEMs Curator of the Present Tense, Trevor Smith, wh ...
SPUTNIK-1 EMC/EMI LAB MODEL Full scale vintage test model of the Sputnik-1 satellite, Moscow, [February 1957]. Estimate: $400,000-600,000. Photo: Bonhams.
On September 17,
will hold The Air and Space Sale, which is highlighted by an exceptionally rare vintage test mode of the Sputnik-1 satellite (estimate: $400,000-600,000). This model is one of only a few made to test ground electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electromagnetic interference (EMI). It was used by NII-885, a company under the Soviet Ministry of the Radio Industry, which, along with OKB-1, are responsible for the Sputnik-1 success. This example had been on loan and was displayed at Deutsches Technikmuseum in Berlin, Germany and was in the Collection of NII-885 director Dr. Mikhail Ryazansky. Adam Stackhouse, Bonhams specialist, commented: We are honored to bring this world-changing piece of history to auction. There are only a handful of known working examples of the Sputnik-1 and this one comes with excellent provenance. The Sputnik-1 artificial satellite was launched into Earth orbit ...
£9.5 million work by founder of Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood John Everett Millais is now at risk of permanently leaving the UK.
Arts Minister Rebecca Pow has placed a temporary export bar on Millais Ferdinand Lured by Ariel to provide an opportunity to keep the painting in the country. Valued at £9,500,000 the painting was completed by John Everett Millais, the father of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. The work is at risk of export unless a UK buyer can be found to keep it in the UK where it would be put on public display. Ferdinand Lured by Ariel is a key early work in the history of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, radical in its use of colour and its approach to detail, and was the artists first work completed outdoors. The painting shows the character of Ferdinand from William Shakespeares The Tempest. Having been shipwrecked on Prosperos enchanted island, Ferdinand is lured by Ariel, the magicians servant, towards his master by whispering that the princes father has been drowned. Arts Minister Rebecca Pow said: Millais is one of the most famo ...

Storm King Art Center
is presenting Mark Dion: Follies, through November 11, 2019, the first exhibition to unite Mark Dions signature folly works into a major survey. Since the mid-1990s, Dion has frequently employed the form of the architectural follya compact, decorative structure intended to inspire meaning rather than serve a functional purposeto create intricate tableaus and house displays of a wide range of delicate and specific objects. Dions practice investigates intersections between culture and nature in myriad of ways, and the enclosures of his follies have allowed him to create works with a complexity of visual material that would otherwise not be possible in public or outdoor spaces. Mark Dion: Follies features 13 examples created throughout the past quarter of a century, many of which have been recreated in slightly altered forms to respond to their new site at Storm King. ...

The Woodstock name has become more brand than spirit for many hippies, but people spanning the generations continue to seek its aura, looking for more "authentic" ways to pay homage to the spot where it all began. People like visual artist and activist Christopher Peter Vanderessen shun "commercial" events like those held at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, where the grounds that hosted the 1969 Woodstock stage are located and a handful of veteran acts like Santana are playing for the 50th anniversary weekend. The 45-year-old is among those in a generation too young to reminisce about that 1969's weekend of peace, love and music, but who value the ideals that Woodstock came to symbolize enough to carry them on.

The cultural season in Bordeaux is dedicated to Freedom.
The Museum of Decorative Arts and Design
(madd-bordeaux) is taking part in this by hosting, in the former prison, the exhibition Memphis Plastic Field, which was presented in 2018 at the Berengo Foundation alongside the 16th Venice Architecture Exhibition. Ettore Sottsass founded the Memphis Group in 1981, bringing together young architects around his strong personality. They dreamt of shattering the codes of modernity and rationalism; the culture they established was a vitalistic, instinctive reaction to the gentrification of design. Their first collection was exhibited in Milan. The exhibition, that opened on 18 September 1981, had the effect of a bomb in the European design scene. It radically renewed the language of shapes and colours that up until then was based on the sense and presence of the object, rather than on its function. Artists of all nationalities cam ...

John Frederick Lewis: Facing Fame - on view at
Watts Gallery
is the first exhibition in more than 40 years to explore the life, art and travels of this leading British Orientalist painter. Including many self-portraits and hidden likenesses, this exhibition explores Lewiss sustained and complex relationship with his own success over a long and distinguished career. John Frederick Lewis RWS RA (1804 1876) became a leading figure in the British art establishment, famed for his detailed depictions of the Mediterranean and Middle East. John Frederick Lewis: Facing Fame examines the ways in which Lewiss life and travels informed how he chose to present himself at different points in his career: from the young Regency dandy to the languid Lotus-eater living in Cairo; a leader of the London art establishment to an eccentric recluse living in ...

Rebirth: Kang Muxiang exhibition features six large-scale sculptures
Now on view at
Grounds For Sculpture
, Rebirth: Kang Muxiang is an exhibition of six large-scale sculptures by Taiwanese artist, Kang Muxiang sited outdoors in the gardens. Massive yet graceful, the embryonic forms are made from steel elevator cables from Taipei 101, one of the worlds tallest buildings. The works range in size, with the largest standing nearly ten feet tall and weighing several thousand pounds. Kang began his artistic practice with traditional woodcarving at the age of 13. Eventually turning to other media, the artist has also worked in bronze and stainless steel. In 2002, Kang spent a year living a largely solitary and primitive lifestyle on Guishan (Turtle Island), off the coast of Taiwan. This experience motivated him to create his Life series of sculptures that explores how our way of life impacts future generations. In 2013 ...

Opera's 'New Callas' charts her life on Instagram
She is the most famous soprano in the world -- the "New Callas" who has spellbound audiences from the New York Met to Saint Petersburg's Mariinsky Theatre, where she began her career mopping the stage. But there is little of the distant, aloof diva about the Russian singer Anna Netrebko, who regularly shares pictures of herself and her family with her near half million Instagram followers. Having had to pull out of her Bayreuth debut in Wagner's "Lohengrin" -- which opened Wednesday -- because of exhaustion a month after cancelling a performance in Salzburg, Netrebko posted pictures of herself on holiday in Azerbaijan, herding sheep and hugging village women. Netrebko's 10-year-old son Tiago also regularly stars in her feed, mugging to the camera in a Steppe warrior's helmet or helping make pizzas in a restaurant. The star is equally ...

An opening weekend programme of performances, forums and summits is scheduled from 9 11 November. Arising from the conviction that architecture can address climate change by emancipating itself from entrenched forms of hegemony and extractivism, Rights of Future Generations is an invitation to identify and question unspoken assumptions on which design has been based for so long.

For the installation, Egerton-Warburton combines kinetic sculpture, text and painting to chart the impact of late capitalist conditioning on a public body operating under the influence of what it ingests, both physically and culturally.

On a day like today, French painter Gustave Caillebotte was born
August 19, 1848
. Gustave Caillebotte (19 August 1848 - 21 February 1894) was a French painter, member and patron of the group of artists known as Impressionists, though he painted in a much more realistic manner than many other artists in the group. Caillebotte was noted for his early interest in photography as an art form. In this image: An employee looks at a painting 'Oarsmen' of 1877 of French Impressionist Gustave Caillebotte (1848-1894) in the Kunsthalle Bremen, Germany, Thursday, June 26, 2008.

Shelton was a dream to work with from start to finish. I was having to sell my home while living in another state and she went above and beyond to help me with the process. I received 8 offers in 5 days and I closed over our asking price. It took just 28 days to officially sell my place! I highly recommend Shelton as a realtor and would use her again.

No miracle here!
I bought this cream hoping to reduce puffiness caused by poor sleeping habits. It did reduce puffiness but not the fine lines. I didn't get the miracle I was hoping for. Getting your beauty sleep will accomplish the same results I feel!
well my friend told me about this cream that it's worth to try so I tried it ✌
I love the texture of this cream. I use it every night. My skin feels amazing. I would recommend.
While there is no such thing as a "miracle cream" Garnier ultralift sleeping cream does it's very best to fit the bill.The texture of this night cream is silky and soft and it absorbs into the face like melted butter.
I have been using Garnier Ultralift Miracle sleeping cream for two weeks now and I have noticed some changes in the tone and texture of my skin.My facial skin is more refined and toned with an almost "plumped" feeling to it.
It contains a proprietary blend of soothing oils and anti aging properties,such as hyaluronic acid and beta hydroxy acids to gently clarify the skin and hold in moisture.
Even after just two weeks of use Garnier ultralift miracle sleeping cream,has brightened my skin and given me back a youthful glow.
I will continue to purchase and use this product as it has met and and exceeded my expectations.
This cream is nothing ordinary.
It is a basic cream, like any other that simply adds a layer of moisture to hydrate.
No deep hydration / moisturization.
Did have a nice smell to the lotion. Pretty fragrance.
Did not like that it came in a tub jar, I prefer a pump for clean and sanitized reasons.
Have not seen any real difference in using this cream.
Nothing special.
My skin feels tighter after just one use, I can't wait to continue using this product! Normally not a fan of Garnier as they make my skin really oily but this is pretty great
I received a sample of this product from Garnier and I was skeptical to put it on my face, for fear of it breaking me out or turning my face beet red. I have used it for several nights and have had no allergic reaction. I've noticed a slight improvement in my railroad lines in between my eyes. Just a slight diminish. I don't know if it is worth buying the regular size.

Even if you're healthy and active, you may find yourself in need of tips to improve your knee health. Your knees take a great deal of punishment over the course of your life, and knee pain and injuries are extremely common. In fact, about 700,000 Americans will have knee-replacement surgery this year; that's about double the rate of ten years ago. Interestingly, the largest increase over that time period in the occurrence of knee surgery is for people who are under 65 years of age. So is there anything you can do to keep your knees healthier? We have a few tips that can help.
- Stay at a healthy weight. Keeping your weight down is one of the most important things you can do for your knees. Did you know that for every extra pound, you put an extra 4 pounds of pressure on your knees while you're walking or going up stairs? If you're too heavy, don't fret— losing weigh can lessen your knee pain, or even make it disappear entirely.
- Get plenty of exercise, but make sure you're doing it right. Watch how you do squats and lunges, because over-extending your knee can injure it. Don't bend your legs further than a 90 degree angle, taking care to keep your knees over your feet. Riding a bike and swimming are good exercises for knees, because they don't put as much pressure on them as walking or running.
- Rest! If you're beginning to experience knee problems, it's a good idea to take a break from exercising for a couple of weeks. Never try to run through the pain, because it will only make it worse.
- Be cautious of where you run. Don't run or walk on grass or cobblestones, for instance, but choose sidewalks and worn paths, which will be easier on your knees. Don't run up stairs, either, unless you're in perfect shape. This puts an inordinate amount of stress on your joints.
- Make sure you partake of a knee-friendly diet. Fill your menu with anti-inflammatory foods, which include healthy proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Nuts, avocados, lean meats, and fruits and vegetables high in anti-oxidants are all good choices, and spices, green tea, dark chocolate, and even red wine have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. You might also try an anti-inflammatory supplement, like a Glucosamine Chondroitin complex or Omega 3.
Sometimes, despite good intentions and positive effort, people still suffer from poor knee health. At our clinic, we care for joint problems and chronic pain through a variety of holistic healing therapies designed to address the source of the issues, rather than simply treating symptoms. To learn more about how we can help you live a life of optimal wellness, or to schedule your free consultation, visit our website or call today!

San Diego—In hemodialysis patients in Japan, PA21 (sucroferric oxyhydroxide [SFOH]) was well tolerated in the long term and had a low pill burden. That was among the findings of an open-label, multicenter study conducted in Japan to assess the long-term safety and efficacy of SFOH following a 52-week treatment period.
Fumihiko Koiwa, MD, PhD, and colleagues presented results of the study during a poster session at Kidney Week 2015. The poster was titled Phase III Study to Investigate the Long-Term Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of PA21 (Sucroferric Oxyhydroxide) in Japanese Hemodialysis Patients with Hyperphosphatemia.
A previous in vitro study demonstrated that the phosphate binding capacity of SFOH was above a physiologically relevant pH range in the gastrointestinal tract. In the current study, doses of SFOH were titrated to maintain predefined concentrations of serum phosphorus of 3.5 to 6.0 mg/dL. Those were within the range recommended by the Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder guideline.
Key inclusion criteria were age ≥20 years; undergoing maintenance hemodialysis three times a week for ≥12 weeks prior to the initiation of the screening period; and serum phosphorous concentration ≥3.5 mg/dL and ≤10.0 mg/dL with phosphate binders or >6.0 mg/dL and ≤10.0 mg/dL without phosphate binders. Key exclusion criteria included serum calcium concentration ≤7.5 mg/dL, or >11.0 mg/dL, at the beginning of the week in the screening period; intact-parathyroid hormone concentration >800 pg/mL at the beginning of the week at the initiation of the screening period; a history of hemochromatosis, or any other iron overload disorder, or serum ferritin >800 ng/mL, or transferrin saturation (TSAT) >50% at the beginning of the week in the screening period; and clinically significant gastrointestinal disorders based on the investigator's diagnosis.
Of the 181 enrolled patients, 161 were administered the study drug. Of those, 45 discontinued treatment (24 due to an adverse event, four due to phosphorus decrease, four due to calcium decrease, two due to ferritin increase, and 14 due to other causes). Among the 260 patients in the full analysis set, mean age was 58.5 years, 70.6% were male, and mean dialysis vintage was 85.3 months.
Efficacy End Points
Mean serum phosphorous concentrations decreased from 5.46 mg/dL at week 0 to 5.00 mg/dL at the end of treatment; mean serum phosphorous concentrations were maintained within the target range of 3.5 to 6.0 mg/dL throughout the 52-week treatment period. Mean number of SFOH tablets was 3.3 pills/day; mean dose of SFOH was 1,141 mg/day.
Safety End Points
Overall, the incidence of adverse events was 94.4% and the incidence of adverse drug reactions was 32.3%. Diarrhea (22.4%) and constipation (2.5%) were frequently seen adverse drug reactions; there were no reports of severe diarrhea or constipation. Most of the adverse drug reactions were seen soon after initiation of SFOH and they did not increase in incidence over the long-term treatment.
There was a tendency for iron parameters, including serum ferritin, TSAT, and hemoglobin, to increase. Median serum ferritin levels increased from initiation of SFOH until week 24 and stabilized thereafter.
"These results suggest that SFOH is a promising drug for the long-term management of hyperphosphatemia in dialysis patients," the researchers said.

Star Plus' popular show Dil Boley Oberoi (4 Lions Films) has been seeing refreshing chemistry between Rudra (Leenesh Mattoo) and Bhavya (Mansi Srivastava).
The recent kidnap track of Bhavya created lot of curiosity amongst the audience. And with this, the couple is being drawn towards each other from time to time.
An upcoming episode will have the two of them indulge in some fun in the swimming pool. While Rudra will be in the pool, Bhavya will also get in and they will yet again be drawn closer.
As per sources, "Bhavya will again be in a state of dilemma when Rudra who is a Casanova by nature will get into a close moment with Bhavya. She will also be drawn towards him, but will recollect in her mind that she is in a mission. She will immediately push him away and will also confront him, by making him realize that theirs is only a fake marriage and that there is no need for any closeness in relationship. However, in her mind she will fight with herself and will realize that she is getting closer to Rudra and will push herself to concentrate on her goal."
Will circumstances get Rudra and Bhavya closer?
We buzzed the actors, but could not get through to them.

In addition to the candy cane outfit made recently in the Sweets for Our Sweets collection, I also made a Hostess cupcake outfit. The Momoko doll is wearing a chocolate brown tank top with lace to look like a Hostess cupcake as well as white worn boyfriend skinny jeans. I like to think she took the jeans from her boyfriend because she realized she would look better in them. All this talk of sweets lately makes me a little hungry.

Scout Tafoya's review published on Letterboxd:
My only real complaint is that it's not long enough, and the film is 2 and a half hours long. Russell needed more time to flush out the similarities between the two mines and make some of his socio-political points, but also I just wanted more of the musical performances, which were mesmerizing. This is still one of the best things I saw all year, but I wanted more because I think Russell found the best vehicle for his style here.

My book is almost finished. Actually it is finished, and I'm just touching it up, pruning and clarifying certain ideas. Here's a short excerpt, just one single sentence from the book, to get a taste:
Small, consistent steps, taken with awareness, celebration, feedback, analysis and course correcting, will always get you further than occasional and mindless spurts, not to mention being more enjoyable than a single marathon for some pie in the sky moonshot you might never complete, and might not even want if you ever get there.
That's the excerpt. Here's the interpretation:
Today I was interviewed on the topic of saving for retirement: when to start, how much to put away, when to start reducing risk, what to forego in terms of consumption, what to plan for etc. Saving and investing money is much like investing in your own life. It comes down to getting the small things right – and the earlier the better.
But small and early, the wu wei concept, isn't enough. What you do small and early is utterly crucial. Hence you need to pay close attention to who you are, what you truly like, and what effect your chosen small steps actually have, as opposed to what you meant them to cause. That's what I mean by taking your steps with awareness.
Celebrate your successes. Better yet, celebrate your learning experiences, good or bad. Then reinforce your habits or course correct. Every completed small step is reason to reflect about what you did, why you did it, what effect it had. It's an opportunity to celebrate the fact that you did something, that you had an experience, that you learned something, and that you're still around to improve on your decision making process. Analyze what happened, and feed your conclusions back into your habits, targets and life direction.
Do it continuously. Acknowledge that the process is a success in and of itself. Sticking to a good habit is more of a success than actually reaching a long term goal. Sure, keep tweaking and updating your desired direction, and possibly ultimate endgame, with the outcome of your taken small steps. But avoid staking years of toil and effort on long term goals and potentially empty hopes of grand celebrations at the finish line. You're most likely somebody else when you get there. In addition, with the goal behind you, you have nothing, not even a process. In effect when you reach your long term goal you have nothing to celebrate. The risk is you establish another, equally arbitrary and long term goal just to fill the void.
Striving for a million dollars or a 200 lbs bench press are such useless goals, with nothing but emptiness waiting for you. Using your body every day, or managing your savings a little better every day, are processes you can be happy about every day.
Life and finances work much the same way, and should be considered in context of each other. You can't predict, but you can prepare. Establish good habits that resonance with your personality and every day will be reason to celebrate sticking to and improving on your habits and best practices. The inevitable setbacks will be nothing more than temporary and largely inconsequential stumbles.
You don't need to finish the marathon under 3 hours, there's no defeat in falling and missing the magic number. The joy lies in every step along the way. If marathon runners were only in it for winning or beating a certain time, there would be very few marathon runners around. No, it's the small steps, the habits, the joy of the process that drive them. The same idea applies to your life and your finances.
Trying to spurt will only make you miserable. Aiming for the moon might or might not get you there; and maybe, just maybe you'll get to celebrate once. And then what?
Becoming strong, fast, rich, accomplished or successful isn't about reaching a final goal, it's about the becoming in itself, i.e., enjoying and celebrating the process. If you save, invest, socialize and exercise in a way that's sound, ever improving, and not least enjoyable – taking small steps in full awareness and with an effective feedback process – chances are you'll appreciate your life so much more, than even if you did succeed in a one in a billion moonshot effort to become rich, famous or achieve some other form of externally validated status.
Robert Sapolsky says that your subjective status is at least as important as your objective status, and after a certain threshold level of living standards, what group you choose to compare yourself to is the main deciding factor of how good you feel about yourself. I choose to rank myself in the serenity and happiness group, and there I come out on top, which also means I actually come out on top in therms of how I feel. Win-win-win.
More excerpts are coming up. The question, however, is whether I should include these long winded clarifications in the book or not. What do you think?
Back to shys and rejections
Feelings are all you have; are you optimizing?
Global cooling on the way? Be prepared!
The climate is changing. We can agree on that.
The question is what is driving it, and what we can or should do about it. And possibly in which direction the wind is blowing.
In a recent short paper (by J. KAUPPINEN AND P. MALMI, June 29, 2019) the researchers demonstrate how natural changes in humidity explain, much better than, e.g., CO2 emissions, the variations in global temperatures over the last half century.
Variations in low cloud cover, and their corollary, changes in relative humidity, seem to be an order of magnitude more important for explaining both the general trend rise in global temperatures and even more so regarding the interimistic drops in temperature. The latter is of course wholly unexplained by the steadily rising levels of CO2.
The authors conclude that "During the last hundred years the temperature is increased about 0.1°C because of CO2. The human contribution was about 0.01°C," i.e., "we have practically no anthropogenic climate change. The low clouds control mainly the global temperature"
The results have been corroborated by a team in Japan: "New evidence suggests that high-energy particles from space known as galactic cosmic rays affect the Earth's climate by increasing cloud cover, causing an 'umbrella effect'"
It's not us
So, humans aren't doing it. Therefore there's really no use in trying to reverse the effects by unnecessarily restricting human activity. Quite the contrary, actually. If galactic rays are causing temperatures to rise through changes in relative humidity and cloud cover, we'll need all the human ingenuity and creativity we can muster in order to find out how to live and thrive in a much warmer world, including potentially higher water levels and frequency of extreme weather.
You can't predict, but you can prepare
This is no joke. In fact, space weather changes could even cause a cooling before a warming, with potentially just as adverse effects. No matter which way the galactic gods lean in this respect, it's better we come prepared, even if we can't predict the outcome.
Winners from warming
No matter, the green revolution is still good for many things, not least combatting pollution (whether slightly warming or not), and fanning (!) innovation. So don't give up on your recycling efforts just yet. And solar power is still our best bet long term to make sure our energy needs are met in the future, so if you like your solar companies you can keep them. The warmth of the sun is our cleanest, safest and most abundant source of energy. But we need to keep inventing better ways to capture and store it.
The corporate winners in this scenario will be solar energy capture and energy storage companies, including the entire value chain of industrial suppliers of complementary factory parts, not to mention finance companies (huge investments in storage infrastructure will be required once solar energy dominates the power supply).
However, even more interesting will be the opportunities within construction and construction materials. Imagine all the levees to be built, water-proofing solutions needed for buildings and other equipment, not to mention all the new buildings required higher up on dry land, to replace the multitude of new Atlantises being created.
And then there is the insurance business (extreme weather, remember?).
What about losers? Well, there's the oil industry of course. And retail: the money to pay for all the new infrastructure must come from somewhere; my guess is higher housing and insurance costs will diminish the room for non-essential shopping for the bottom 99 per cent.
Tougher times might mean higher aggregate demand (whoa, Keynes!), but the resulting higher GDP doesn't mean ordinary people will benefit. All the extra efforts are just going toward strengthening or moving all the things we've already got, rather than producing new and life-enhancing stuff
Gold has broken up through a 6 year resistance level around 1350-60 and is currently trading at 1393 USD/oz, after a quick visit all the way up at 1440. That makes gold look extremely interesting right now.
I've been buying and advocating buying gold on and off since 2013, as insurance against "Whatever It Takes" craziness by central bankers. Three years ago, I even invested privately in a gold streaming and refinery company in Colombia, and subsequently also in it's sold supplier Gran Colombia Gold that's listed in Canada. Even if the price in USD hasn't moved that much yet, it's already been a very good investment for me in SEK. The currency insurance effect of holding gold is something Venezuelians are very familiar with.
Bitcoin too is on the move, having thawed this spring from the crypto winter of 2018. Right now, the Bitcoin price is slightly above 10k$, more than 150% higher than at the turn of the year, albeit more than 25% below the peak price a few days ago on June 26.
In both instances (gold and Bitcoin) I expect much, much higher prices (multiples higher, not measly percentages) in the coming five years (and likely much sooner than that, but you never know with politicians like Draghi, Powell, Trump and Xi at the helm)
As happy as I am about my investments/insurance positions, I am simultaneously afraid we are entering into a period of extreme financial stress, almost to the point that I hope we somehow will miraculously escape it altogether without having to deal with the issue in earnest.
Equities are extremely expensive compared to both cyclically adjusted profits and gold
It's just that with equity valuations 3x their norm (MAPE at 45 rather than 15), and gold only at about 1/4 vs S&P 500 of where it was even quite recently, and twice the amount of "almost junk" rated corp debt in the US vs. before the last crisis, and countless trillions of derivatives, extreme debt levels and recent changes in debt levels for govs, corps and individuals in most places, and 25 Tn printed money since 2008, I just don't see how to resolve it all without tremendous volatility and chaotic relative movements between asset classes as everybody tries to salvage what can be salvaged.
REAL assets are the way to go of course, but it's not that easy to say what IS a real REAL asset. Gold at least will stay gold, but you can't eat it, and it's difficult to transport. Meanwhile, bitcoins can be transported across borders by just memorizing 12 words in the right order, but they're "just" an accounting mechanism with no tangible value (apart from the distributed and secure accounting function, which definitely has intrinsic value).
Central banks are at the end of the rope
In any case, I think both are starting to say that central bankers are losing their grip and the confidence of the people/markets. Sure, stocks are REAL claims too. In theory they grow with the nominal economy, and should grow with printed money (which there will be much more of soon). However, when relative prices between REAL gold and REAL companies are already 3-5x out of whack, you shouldn't hope for repeating the same kind of Indian rope trick again on top of the previous one without a calamitous re-set first.
If the economy rolls over now, the Fed will probably lower rates and increase the QE "slope" (money printing) more than most expect.
Such "surprise" cuts are what kicked off the bursting of the bubble in 2001. This time is likely to get much worse – although the absolute first reaction might be a blow off top for equities first, to lure in the last fools at an extreme all time high. Gold and Bitcoin should still protect you in that environment. More importantly, they'll protect you after the top.

Quality Upholstery Fabrics for High-Demand Furniture
When needing
, frequently used furniture should be covered with fabrics called performance textiles. These special fabrics contain elements effectively resistant to tearing, heat, stains, wrinkles and ultraviolet rays. Also called functional or "smart" textiles, these fabrics commonly protect commercial public seating furniture but can also provide the same type of heavy-duty protection for home furniture subject to extreme wear and tear.
When selecting performance textiles, the selection should facilitate how the furniture is going to be used. For example, restaurant owners contemplating replacement fabric for booth seats may think a suede-type fabric would endow their restaurant with a luxurious feel and appearance. However, they fail to realize how hard it would be for customers to slide over in a booth seat covered with brushed suede. Alternatively, doctors or dentists outfitting their offices do not have to worry about customer satisfaction in regards to extremely comfortable seating. Instead, medical office chairs can have suede coverings that enhance the visual appeal of their waiting rooms.
Reupholstery Fabrics and Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology is essentially the manipulation of the physical world at the molecular level. By applying nanotechnology to the textile industry, fabric producers have greatly improved the functionality and performance of fabrics used to cover all kinds of furniture. Developments in fabric manufacturing have resulted in material that is exceptionally durable and highly resistant to electrical conduction (static electricity), chemicals, element eradication and even germs. In fact,
fabrics are now being offered that are even self-decontaminating.
By implementing the chemical structures of silicone and fluorocarbon, fabric nanotechnologists are attaching polymers to interwoven fibers creating a specific kind of material. Instead of coating the material with solutions meant to protect the fabric from stains and UV fading, this treatment is effected when nanotechnological processes actually transform the molecular architecture of the material's fibers. As a result, the brightness, vivid coloring and unique feel of the fabric is not diminished when molecules are altered the way it is lessened when glazing them over with the heavy, thick substance of a stain resistor.
Stain resistant finishes are just one of the many beneficial culminations of reupholstery fabric and nanotechnology. Fluorochemical finishes implemented at the molecular level provides the most effective kind of resistance to soil and spills. In addition, a "dual-action stain repellent" technology is producing fabrics that repel stains based on water while simultaneously promoting the release of dirt as soon as the dirt begins penetrating the fabric.

To The Ends of the Earth
In the UK this is as far north as you can go! Four hundred miles further and you cross the Arctic Circle. The Shetland Isles are closer to Bergen, Norway than they are to Edinburgh, Scotland's capital.
Britain's Most Northerly Golf Course

We'd been invited to play a charity Texas Scramble at Whalsay Golf Club, a wonderful headland layout on the island of Whalsay and Britain's most northerly golf course. I'd played a similar event there many years ago and when the opportunity came to return, I grabbed it. However, every silver lining has a cloud attached... On the night before our departure Robert, the club manager called to say, due to a particularly wet and windy weather forecast, they were cancelling the event. We decided to go anyway!
Weather is a constant factor in a place as far north as Shetland. I often glance north during a UK weather forecast to see what's going on and it's almost always different from the rest of the Scotland. Shetland is unique in so many ways!
The island of Whalsay just off Shetland's Mainland has a population of 1000 people, mostly fishermen and their families. The island for hundreds of years has depended on fishing to survive. Today Whalsay has a fine fleet of boats from large trawlers to small scallop and lobster boats and, as in years gone by, this is what keeps Whalsay afloat.
At the island's most northerly tip is Whalsay Golf Club. On my first visit in 2001, the course was laid out on a peaty, heathery headland with, apart from the greens, barely a blade of grass to be seen. Enthusiastic local fishermen were responsible for establishing the track in the mid-1970's and now with infinite care and copious amounts of time and lime to encourage grass to grow, Whalsay has become a unique and challenging golf experience.
There are the jaw-dropping views on every hole and the series from the 10th to the 16th is the course's best stretch, particularly the 10th, a long Par 5 ending at a tricky little lochan. The 16th is not too shabby either, a magnificent downhill Par 4 next to the cliffs with even more stunning views.
As the most northerly golf course in Britain, Whalsay attracts visitors from around the world who want to 'tick that box'. And there are some who just keep coming back! Orca or Killer Whales are sometimes spotted cruising beneath the cliffs and along the beaches looking to catch an unsuspecting seal. "One year there were 6 of them coming right in," Graeme Sandison, one of the founding fishermen told me, "sweeping the beach in about 2 meters of water. A lot of folk saw it."
I'd love to have seen that! Following my last visit, I recalled the clubhouse shenanigans which went on into the wee small hours. The 'Simmer Dimmer' or summer twilight is when the sun barely goes down and I was thinking to play a few more holes at midnight - just to say I'd done it! When I found several glasses of whisky arrayed in front of me, I asked what was going on? "We heard you were wanting to play golf at midnight," said one of my playing partners. "We don't want to - so we've decided to get you drunk instead." Oh, well, if needs must! We went on to have one of the most memorable nights - except, for some reason, I can't quite remember it! Maybe that was why I was so keen to come back!
Here are some wildlife shots that were taken by John Irvine, one of Whalsay's fisherman and keen photographer. Click to scroll through...>
And here's a short video shot by Graeme Sandison from his fishing vessel...
Amazing Unst
There was once another golf course on Shetland even further north on the Island of Unst. At the Tourist Information Centre in Lerwick they told us it no longer existed! But in the spirit of golf exploration and impetuosity, we decided to go to anyway!
Viking Longboats
You don't have far to go on the final island of Unst to discover roadside attractions, partly because there's really not a lot of Unst to go far on. A Viking Longboat, the Skidbladner, a replica had set sail from Norway in the spring of 2006, crewed by a group of modern-day Vikings to see if they could sail the ship all the way to America. They got as far as their first landfall in Lerwick and went home, leaving the Skidbladner to the Shetlanders.
Nearby, Shetland Distillery is making a variety of delicious 'Shetland Reel' gins from a tiny distillery the size of which I reckon could fit in my kitchen. They're planning to install a whisky still soon to make their own single 'Shetland Reel' malt whisky and as much as their gins are delicious, this, the most northerly distilled single malt is surely a sure-fire winner.
It was the Royal Air Force that established a golf course on Unst many years ago but locals told us it hadn't been used for more than 20 years and in fact, the land had been given back to the sheep. During the Cold War, Unst was the ideal listening post to monitor what the Russians were up to as they flew by on their way to peek at America.
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
The ex-RAF station has since been turned into Saxa Vord Resort, Restaurant and Bar and we were delighted to find such comfort so close to the edge of known civilisation. The rooms were basic but much to my surprise and delight, the food and service was fabulous. It was one of the best meals I've had in a good while - but perhaps all the fresh air and walking helped. The Restaurant at the End of the Universe (Saxa Vord) is definitely a place to visit.
I was lying in bed the next morning and in spite of a slight hang-over from the bottle of wine and couple of whiskies I'd had the night before, I was feeling inspired and wondering why? It began to dawn on me, it was this place! There was no golf course here any longer but I was still glad we came. Shetland and especially Unst is teeming with light and life. It's the chance to spot an otter or a dolphin breaching. There are gannets and terns swooping through the skies, sheep and Shetland ponies on the hillsides and beautiful Sea Campion and Red Campion wild flowers. This is clearly a place to be, most certainly for our planet's more selective inhabitants. For those of us that will walk these roads less travelled, they'll be the ones that wake up, possibly with a slight hangover and a lingering smile on their face.
Shetland Golf Club
The next day, we drove south again and arrived at Shetland Golf Club just north of Lerwick with enough daylight left for a game. Shetland Golf Club otherwise known as Dale has seen the same great improvements over recent years as Whalsay. The Dale looks down a voe or fiord so it's setting can be quite breathtaking. The 1st tees off towards the voe, the fairways defined with tall, thick rough and a few boggy marshes. But the greens are impeccable which must be quite a challenge in this often wet valley.
A funny thing happened when we were at Dale. A Canadian couple flew their private jet into nearby Tingwall Airport to play 'Scotland's Most Northerly Golf Course'. Apparently most delighted, they set about their round at Dale, jumped back in their plane and flew off home to Canada to tell the tale. No one had the guts to tell them they'd visited the wrong golf course!
Herrislea House Hotel
We were staying at the Herrislea House Hotel which is extremely handy for both golf courses on Shetland's mainland, Dale and Asta Golf Club. Herrislea gives you an impression of Shetland life in days of old with its antique decor and interesting wall hangings. The bedrooms are also unique, each one with its own character. We had a spacious top-floor room with a Shetland bed which my son, Ewan grabbed as it had its own curtains to block out the near constant daylight at this time of year.
Asta Golf Course, is situated 5-minutes away next to Asta Loch, a simple 9-hole course but well worth a round because of its lovely location. They do an interesting thing here to 'spice' things up. They switch the tees around mid-month to give two quite different nine hole tracks! The 'Classic Course' is available for the first two weeks of each month, identified by Yellow Flags and they say it offers a tighter, trickier challenge. We played the New Course available the last two weeks of any given month and identified by Red Flags which gives big hitters the chance to let fly with fewer water hazards and a bit more space. It's a great idea and seems to work.
The Village of Scalloway
Just six miles from Lerwick, Scalloway is Shetland's second, well, fishing village. Once the capital of these islands, it's a seafaring port where most of the scallops and whitefish are landed.
Rumour has it that the Scalloway Hotel is probably the best place on Shetland for fine dining. It's certainly very popular for its bar food as we witnessed plate after plate of fish & chips being marched through to the bar. Peter and Caroline McKenzie run the show here, Peter in charge of the bar while Caroline conducts the two AA rosette restaurant.
Sumburgh Head Lighthouse
At the very southern tip of Shetland, Sumburgh Head Lighthouse, Visitor Centre and Nature Reserve is a series of attractions neatly wrapped into one. The cliffs surrounding the lighthouse are teeming with birdlife during the summer breeding season and this is where you'll get those great close-up shots of puffins. You might also catch a glimpse of dolphins, porpoise, Killer and Minke whales from this lofty vantage point.
Jarlshof is the primary prehistoric site in Shetland. Bronze Age settlers were the first to built small oval houses here with thick stone walls. The Iron Age people added a broch and a defensive wall. The Picts decorated the place with various works of art in a hippy-like manner and the Vikings no doubt bullied everyone around and added their graffiti and longhouses. Finally, The Scots came and built a fortified manor house which is the main edifice you see today surrounded by more ancient stone piles.
St Ninian's Isle
St Ninian's Isle is a small rocky outcrop connected to the Shetland mainland by the largest tombolo in the UK. You can walk across the 500-metre long sandy stretch during the summer months when it's above sea level. During the winter, maybe not such a good idea.
Shetland Museum and Archives
As our cultural day, as well as the trip drew to an end there was one final stop before we queued up for the ferry back to Aberdeen and mainland Scotland. It was the award winning Shetland Museum and Archives officially opened in 2007 by HM Queen Sonja of Norway and the Duke & Duchess of Rothesay (aka. Charles & Camilla), it's a pretty impressive installation taking you all the way back to when Shetland was part of Antarctica.
To The Ends
It was time to head back 'sooth' and we were first in the queue for the Northlink Ferry. It wasn't that we were desperate to get away… we'd simply had enough in a very good way. There's so much to actually see and do on these islands, so many 'different' experiences, there comes a point when you realise you have to 'come back down' to the normal world. I actually fantasized about living here, that's how much the place got to me. I'd go for Scalloway for all its fresh, delicious seafood. Or maybe a croft near Haroldswick on Unst. I'd then set about reclaiming the Unst Golf Course from the sheep. Then it really would be the most northerly golf course in Britain.

Working with your company was a very pleasant experience. He is a not only a highly skilled programmer but a brilliant communicator. There was no problem which he was not able to deal with, and no issue that he could not help me resolve; his experience really did shine through The project that he worked on for me was relatively complex, yet he was still able to produce the finished product to a very high standard. It is without question that I would use his services again in the future. Thank you!!
Services: Mobile App Development
Project Status: Completed
Over a period of time I worked with 3ilogics to prepare my website from scratch and I can highly recommend their web design services. Initially I had very little idea of what to design or indeed, where to start. This is where 3ilogics' experience came to the fore. Once we had a rough web design outline, I then felt more comfortable specifying what I felt my website and business actually needed and with growing confidence embarked on the more in depth work. The testing, debugging and refinement of the site was something I chose to be very involved in – and I believe that this enabled me to obtain a website that contained the exact functionality that I was after.
Services:Mobile App Development
Project Status: In progress
I have used 3ilogics for the design and development of my new ecommerce website. The service that I've received has been first class from the beginning to date. I have just one point of contact who answers my queries quickly and efficiently. I would highly recommend them for website design and development and also SEP projects.

Project Status: Completed
They are currently assisting my company in developing our portal, and is nearing the completion stage. I have found them very helpful and responsive every step of the way.
Services: Mobile App Development
Project Status: In progress
3iLogics was easy to work with. They took my designs and brought them to life. The project actually went better than I had originally anticipated. When I came to them with my website plan still in the earliest of stages, I didn't have much confidence that the project was going to be a success. There was so many things to do and I wasn't all that well-organized but with the help and patience of the 3iLogics team my website was fully operational in no time. The development team is very experienced in their skills. The team manager is very polite and courteous to your needs. There were a few nights the team didn't sleep just so that my site would be done on time. At the end of the project they were still as prompt to address my final bugs as they were to start the project. Giving 3iLogics the designs and explaining to them how the site needed to function was not an easy task. My site consists entirely of custom PHP code and when I gave 3iLogics the original code it was a nightmare. A big mess. But like I said now it's completely organized and the site is flawless. Overall, 3iLogics was amazing to work with and I'd personally recommend that you put them at the top of your prospect list. Thank you!

Flanders Bake Shop is more than a donut destination
Some days are good days. Example: When your editor gives you the green light to review a bake shop that specializes in donuts, bagels, and all things delightfully carb-loaded.
Despite the influx of corporate coffee-n-donut shops over the last few decades, Flanders Donut has done its thing and garnered a faithful following that's kept it open since 1972. That's a lot of crullers.
I suspect part of the charm is the sheer variety of donut flavors available every day — literally dozens of them. From specials like the Oreo Cookie and Super Crunch Chocolate Cake ($1.59 each) to your classics like Sugar Raised and Honey Wheat ($1.09 apiece), Flanders Donut keeps it fresh (see what I did there?) with its daily selection of donuts alone. That isn't counting the dozen or so flavors of bagels and all the other non-donut pastries (cupcakes, muffins, and strudel, oh my!).
I confess, the first thing I tried from Flanders Donut was not a donut at all but the black and white cookie ($1.54 each), that staple of East Coast bakeries that I must always order when I travel to NYC. Flanders' are smaller than the train-station variety, but the robust, home-made flavor adds its own special volume. The cookie alone (more like a mini muffin top) is quite tasty, from its moist texture to the hints of orange zest within. Paired with the layer of buttercream vanilla and chocolate frosting — fresh and smooth, with those cinnamon notes once again on the chocolate side — and one cookie will satisfy any sugar craving to great effect.
Donut-wise, I tend to lean toward the classics and rated the Sugar Raised my favorite of a sample of six. It had that perfect fair-food flavor and great texture accented by the crunch of the surrounding sugar. You get some spring-back and moisture with Flanders' Sugar Raised, instead of what feels like a mouthful of air and oil a la Krispy Kreme.
Second place went to the Boston Cream (part of the regular rotation priced at $1.09 each), mostly thanks to its rich chocolate frosting on top. This is real frosting, people, and not the fake-y, flimsy, syrup-y stuff of other donut chains. Cinnamon notes amplify the depth of the chocolate flavor and the cream filling is thick, generous and vanilla-forward.
Coming in at the bottom of the top three was the Peanut Butter and Jelly donut ($1.09), a clever take on the comfort-food classic. What nails it is the slightly salty peanut butter topping that plays off the hearty blurb of jelly (possibly raspberry flavored) within. The surrounding cake stands up to the filling and provides a good "sandwich" backdrop for the stars of the show.
Falling into the Just-Fine-But-Nothing-Spectacular category was the Solid Chocolate (read: chocolate glazed; $1.09) and Honey Wheat. For a chocolate donut, the former did not seem overwhelmingly cocoa-rich. The texture was exactly what you're looking for in a glazed donut, with crumbly density and a wee bit of oily moisture and a slight crispy edge to the glaze itself, but if something is billed as chocolate-flavored, it must bring the flavor.
As for the Honey Wheat, neither honey nor wheat emerge as strong flavor-players. They take a backseat to what I like to call "fried flavor," with the wheat-ness of the donut inching in at the back end of each bite. I was hoping for a good coffee companion with this plain-Jane type of donut, but, alas, the Sugar Raised set a high bar for sweet satisfaction.
I also had high hopes for the Maple Bacon donut, one of the specials, because: bacon. However, my palate couldn't reconcile the smokiness of the crispy, chopped bacon on top with the subtle sweetness of the maple frosting and the moist and dough-y base. It should have worked, and I wanted it to, but for me it didn't. Plus side for bacon-heads: The bacon crumble topping is generously applied and that maple frosting would make for a lovely non-bacon-covered donut topping.
There's no accounting for bacon preferences, and there is no shortage of other sweet treats to swap in should one not work for you. See also, the cannoli ($2.30 each), which I didn't expect to find at a dedicated donut shop. The clincher was the well-balanced flavor of the filling, with the sweetness just edging out the subtle tang of the ricotta, with notes of cinnamon. It was smooth as silk, and the chocolate chips on each end of the cannoli were a perfect punctuation to the creamy, rich filling. One slight bummer: Because the cannoli are in a refrigerated case, the cannoli shells had softened and lost all their crispness.
Now, one could make a breakfast of donuts and cannolis, but be aware that savory items are available at Flanders, too. A basic egg and cheese ($3.09) proved serviceable, although it was most likely of the microwave variety. However, the cornmeal bagel it was served upon was very, very good and flavorful, with a great nobbly texture and just a bit of cornmeal crunch. A follow-up sample of an Everything bagel ($1.19) revealed another good choice, with excellent texture and flavor that I suspect is characteristic of a Flanders bagel.
And while one might not think to travel to a donut shop for stromboli, consider it on a Friday or Saturday when Flanders offers a selection of stuffed breads. On a recent Friday, customers had a choice of four flavors of stuffed breads: pepperoni; broccoli and chicken; four-cheese and ham; and Meat Lovers. I opted for a pepperoni bread ($4.99; serves two to three), and it is hereby recommended. Normally I'm all about the filling, but the bread itself was very good, with subtle flavor and a toothier texture than expected (in a good way), remnant of a fresh-baked pretzel. Add in the spicy salami, tasty and bright tomato sauce, and a bit of parmesan cheese, and you've got a winner that could get dinner done in one dish.
After more than 45 years in the business, Flanders Donut, Bagel & Bake Shop knows how to satisfy a sweet tooth and serve up the most important meal of the day with fast, friendly service and hot coffee at the ready. That's a good recipe for success, and no doubt it will keep delivering for years to come.

Patrick + Rebecca - Bar Bandini Echo Park Wedding Photography
When Rebecca emailed me just a few weeks before her wedding, she shared her and Patrick's story, and I KNEW I had to be a part of documenting their day.
Here's a quick quote from her initial email:
"Though Patrick and I both attended a small college in Fullerton and our circles of friends overlapped, we never met. Years later, friends through the magic of Facebook, I saw that Patrick was taking the train from Fullerton to L.A. on the same day that I was taking it in the opposite direction to see a friend in Patrick's town-at-the-time. Boarding the train car, I saw Patrick sitting with his friend. A catch-up conversation ensued for the half-hour ride, and when my friend texted that she would be late, Patrick suggested that I kill time with sushi and a cocktail at the restaurant he ran near the train station. He SAW me.
Over the next couple of years, we saw each other on the rare occasion when Patrick would venture north to see a show, but it wasn't until he moved to L.A. that I decided it was time to make good on a deep, gut instinct that this guy might last longer than my usual 6-date relationships.
We both love to travel without maps, whether through the streets of Paris or the unknown wandering ways of life. We've started new traditions - clinking coffee mugs each morning to cheers the new day to reading Mary Oliver when the world's news is distressing. We are excited to venture into this next phase of our relationship without a map - trusting each other as we continue to explore the ways each of us sees, engages, and is changed by the world and our community."
Their wedding was wonderful and magical and full of so much joy. Patrick and Rebecca got ready together in their little bungalow in the heart of Echo Park. We had a little time for a few portraits in their courtyard before heading over to Bar Bandini for the ceremony. At Bar Bandini, Patrick and Rebecca milled about with their guests, sipping on the amazing wine and hors d'oeuvres made by the owner, Josh Weinstein, himself.
When it was time for the ceremony, everyone crowded around on the back patio with their glasses of wine and Patrick serenaded Rebecca with a song as she walked down the "aisle" (really just an opening in the crowd). They heard some words from their closest friends and family, had an irish blessing read over them, and then shared some vows with each other. Patrick's vows left no one with a dry eye.
After a bit more time mingling about, the couple and most of their guests hopped on the Number 2 bus and rode it down Sunset to Akbar, where their friend Jen DJ'd an incredible dance party. It was an honor to be a part of their day, I loved all of the special touches that made it "them."
