As an artist (and a creative person in general) I feel that its really important to always push yourself to grow, develop and change things up. Its never good to get too comfortable when it comes to making art because you miss out on growth that comes with venturing outside your comfort zone- this is when really great things happen in the creative process!
The one big thing that makes me squirm is working small! Give me brush and a 6 foot surface and I'm in my comfort zone but tell me to work small and I feel like I've been confined, restricted and I suddenly lose all inspiration. So in my quest to always be growing and getting better I have been challenging myself to work small- really small!
I recently purchased a whole bunch of teeny, TINY stretched canvases and went to town painting on them. I picked a subject matter that I am familiar with but challenged myself to work within the small surface with expressive techniques. I forced myself (yes forced) to use the same techniques that I use when working big- using my fingers, lots of defined brushstrokes and messy layers.
The result, after working through numerous little "shell study" paintings was that I actually started to really enjoy myself and found that I didn't have to feel restricted by the size of the surface. Suddenly the discomfort sort of just fell away and I found myself really enjoying the process of working on a smaller scale.
I challenge you to push yourself outside of your creative comfort zone- whether its scale or subject matter, materials or techniques- try something new or even something that makes you uncomfortable- if you give it a little time I guarantee you'll grow, you may end up enjoying yourself and actually find something new to add to your creative routine!

A little bit of sun is always good for you and you do need sunlight for your body to process vitamin D, which is necessary for bone health. At the same time, the ultraviolet rays from the sun can be detrimental for your health. While being in the sun is not a bad thing, how long you stay in the sun and how well you are protecting yourself count. Prolonged and unprotected sun exposure harms your skin and can decrease the immunity function of the skin.
Some effects of sun exposure include:
- Development of cancerous and non-cancerous skin lesions
- Benign tumours
- Coarse and fine wrinkles
- Freckles
- Mottled pigmentation (Skin discoloration in certain areas)
- Sallowness (The colour of the skin turns yellow)
- Telangiectasia (Expansion of blood vessels under your skin)
- Elastosis (Destruction of the collagen and elastic tissue)
The most harmful effect of sun exposure is definitely skin cancer. It is the uncontrolled development of anomalous skin cells is skin cancer. This accelerated development leads to formation of tumours, which are either malignant (cancerous) or benign (noncancerous). Skin cancer is mainly of 3 types: basal cell carcinoma, melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Among these, squamous cell and basal cell carcinoma are less critical; while melanoma is very serious. When melanoma is left untreated, it can affect the other organs and get difficult to treat. UV rays are the major causes of skin cancer. Sun exposure over the years leads to squamous cell and basal cell carcinoma, while severe sun damage episodes before the age of 18 cause melanoma.
Here are some tips to prevent sun damage:
- Always apply sunscreen 20 minutes before you go out, even if it is cloudy. A sunscreen with SPF of 30 or more, and zinc oxide is advisable if you want optimum sun protection. Also, you should reapply sunscreen every 2 hours, especially if you are swimming or sweating.
- Select cosmetic products, contact lenses and clothing that offer protection from UV rays.
- Choose sunglasses that offer total protection from UV rays. Also, wear a hat with a wide brim to shade your neck and face.
- Avoid direct exposure during harsh hours like between 10.00 and 3.00PM.
Chlamydia is a Sexually Transmitted Disease. It is generally found in men and women under the age of 25. Researchers have found that in the United States about 2.9 million individuals develop this disease every year.
Here are things that you must know about the disease:
What is it all about?
It is caused due to bacterial infection and is transferred sexually. You can be infected with disease by having vaginal, oral or anal sex with the patient. You must be aware of the fact that you can develop chlamydia even if your partner doesn't ejaculate inside your vaginal tract. If you had suffered from this disease in the past, you can still get it again by having unprotected sex with an infected person.
What are the symptoms of this disease?
There aren't any obvious symptoms for this disease. Most of the patients show no sign of developing this disease. Thus, you never get to know when you were infected actually. However, some patients do reflect some symptoms after 4 to 5 days of infection. These symptoms include abnormal penis or vaginal discharge and painful, burning urination. Men can also develop a bleeding rectum.
How do you know for sure that you are infected?
Well, you can get yourself tested to confirm about the infection.
What happens if you don't get treated?
If the patient doesn't seek medical help, he or she is posing threat to his or her health. Women may develop pelvic inflammatory diseases, infertility or ectopic pregnancy. In men, it can cause pain and fever as the infection spreads along the tube carrying sperm.
Is there any treatment?
This disease is curable. But it is important to avoid sexual contact with anyone during the period of treatment or medication. First, you need to undertake the test to confirm the infection. You shouldn't have sex for seven days after the treatment is over. It is advisable to get yourself tested thrice in a year. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a sexologist.

Katie Couric Show on Sue Paterno and Penn State
I was in New York City last week to be filmed for a segment on Katie Couric's ABC show airing today (Monday Feb. 11). The show features Katie's interview with Sue Paterno, the widow of former Penn State coach Joe Paterno. I appear towards the end of the show to provide legal commentary.

Superficially, the sci-fi gothica of one of the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre's lesser halls should have blended perfectly with the Smashing Pumpkins' music. As bruise-coloured lights picked out flashes of steel ventilation ducts amidst the darkened ceiling hollows, the excesses of the band's more grinding, industrial moments could have turned the place into a cathedral built in praise of sleek functionality.
Yet a spiritual experience was always going to be a long shot in a space which is equally at home hosting trade shows. Outside of the dense cluster of fans packed in front of the stage, sound bled off unpleasantly towards the fringes, to such an extent that the band's dry singer Billy Corgan felt inclined to comment. "Welcome to the Subaru factory. Maybe we can all get together and build a car later."
It seems a shame to judge the band unfavourably in such adverse conditions, but for passages of this two-and-a-half hour set, the stale air of self-indulgence leaked in. Corgan is a songwriter with a talent for merging the light touch of popular song with brooding, heavy-rock soundtracks, yet his forays into prog instrumentation and goth drone sometimes test the patience.
For a band who are well into their reunion phase, the fact that the Pumpkins maintain most of their original fire is to be celebrated. Particularly when only Corgan and drummer Jimmy Chamberlain remain from the original line-up, joined by guitarist Jeff Schroeder, bassist Ginger Reyes and keyboard player Lisa Harriton. Using the band's most successful songs as a barometer – "Tonight Tonight", "Bullet With Butterfly Wings", the ever-sublime "Today" – the trio seem to be doing a good job.
In truth, the set could have been trimmed by at least a third. It's not that most of the songs don't deserve their place here, but many could have been much shorter. Yet Corgan is one of the world's most wilful rock stars, and he'll have it no way but his own. "Thank you for the one boo," he shouts out to a crowd member after announcing a recent track, "The Rose March". "He still won't accept we made an album after [the 1991 debut] Gish."
While the lesser parts of the gig may be attributable to Corgan's bloody-mindedness, however, so too are the moments of greatness. The way his fallen angel falsetto conjures distressed beauty from solo versions of "1979", "That's the Way (My Love Is)" and"My Blue Heaven", for example. And, in the most melodramatic part of the set, a 20-minute version of "United States" drawn from ragged calls for revolution to a spectral "Star-Spangled Banner" and back into cataclysmic, unifying protest-rock.

Sir Bradley Wiggins will lead a strong Team Sky squad in the Tour of Britain which begins in Peebles near Edinburgh a week on Sunday.
The Tour de France champion and Olympic time-trial winner missed last year's race due to a stomach complaint. He said: "The crowds make it special and it's always very humbling to see the fantastic support we get from the public."
Wiggins will form part of a six-man Team Sky squad that includes two other Britons, Ian Stannard and Josh Edmondson but not last year's winner Jonathan Tiernan-Locke.

i is hitting the road. We recruit staff from most corners of the UK, but with a headquarters in London, there's no substitute for getting out.
First stop, Cardiff. We're going to meet student i readers there in two weeks, on Tuesday 28th January, for the first ever iStudents debate. Think Question Time with livelier scraps – and drinks served afterwards.
We love meeting readers. It's impossible not to be infected by people's enthusiasm and goodwill, and every time we've held a reader party the editors and writers leave beaming. "Did you meet the chap who drove from Glasgow in a cab?" "Yes! Legend."
Joining me on the panel at the National Museum Cardiff will be Amol Rajan, Editor of The Independent, Lisa Markwell, Editor of The Independent on Sunday, Toni Pearce, President of the National Union of Students, and i's Economics Editor, Ben Chu, author of the excellent Chinese Whispers. We'll debate: "A generation of young people will never vote Conservative or Lib Dem because of this Government." Our gladiators of rhetoric will clash swords at 6pm – and we'll want to hear what the audience thinks, agree and disagree. I'm meant to be keeping order, apparently. Wish me luck.
After the debate there's a chance to meet the team behind i in the bar. A namecheck in the Editor's letter for anyone who manages to get our very own Katherine Jenkins, Deputy Editor Rhodri Jones, to sing "Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau".
If you're an undergraduate or FE student aged 18 and over, you can apply for a free ticket here: independent.co.uk/icardiffdebate. It's first come, first served. A report and photographs from the night will appear in i the following day. Should make interesting reading for Mssrs Cameron and Clegg.

Robbie Keane has kicked off the mind games ahead of this weekend's derby against Arsenal by insisting Harry Redknapp has the greater strength in depth in his Tottenham squad.
Spurs are level on points with their bitter rivals in the Premier League, having played an extra game, but there is genuine hope at White Hart Lane about finishing in the top four this season.
The two clubs look similarly matched in terms of quality ahead of Saturday's Emirates Stadium clash, but Keane claims Spurs' bench gives them the edge.
"You look at the two squads and we're definitely on a par," he said. "In the last four or five years Arsenal always managed to get ahead of us but if you look now it is even. It will be judged at the end of the season but if you look at the bench we have, it is probably a bit stronger than their bench.
"The mentality around the club in previous seasons was that we would be happy to finish fifth or qualify for the Uefa Cup but there is a different feeling now. The players have the feeling that we want to get to the Champions League.
"You can take away Saturday's game because anything can happen in a north London derby – but we need to be judging ourselves against teams like Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea over a season. It's still early days but we're in the top four now. If we can get to Christmas still around there, we'd certainly have every chance."
Keane picked up a knock to his ankle in the Carling Cup victory over Everton but should be available, along with Peter Crouch, Ledley King and Jonathan Woodgate after recent injuries.
Aaron Lennon is expected to miss out with an ankle problem but David Bentley staked his claim to deputise with his performance in the 2-0 win over David Moyes' men.
Carlo Cudicini is also nursing a slight injury but would struggle to be picked ahead of Heurelho Gomes even if fit.
Gomes, after making three vital saves against Everton, said: "This period is my best moment since I joined Tottenham."
The former PSV Eindhoven goalkeeper added: "I feel fit, I am confident and I am sharp, so I can help Tottenham all the time. I don't have the problems that were affecting me last year. I am okay now. We played really well against Everton and it's great to be in the quarter-finals of the Carling Cup. Now, we're looking forward to the Arsenal game."
Redknapp has been impressed by Gomes and left-back Benoit Assou-Ekotto. He said: "He's a good keeper in great form. He's improved as the left-back has – he is one of the most improved you'll see.
"When I first came I wasn't too sure about how good he was but he's got better and better and is up there with the best left-backs in the Premier League."
* Peter Taylor has held brief talks with Ipswich Town manager Roy Keane about joining the coaching staff at Portman Road. Former Hull, Crystal Palace and England Under-21 manager Taylor is available having been sacked by Wycombe earlier this month and Keane is thought to want an experienced coach alongside him as he bids to turn around Town's poor start to the season.

Facts and Events
John Burns was one of the Early Settlers of Augusta County, Virginia __________________________ [edit] Will Abstract
[edit] Information on John BurnsFrom Genforum.com post:
As yet, I've not run across a Jeremiah Burns in my Burns research. It would seem probable, however, that Jeremiah was related to John. The small community of Burnsville, VA (in Bath Co.) is named for my Burns ancestors and John and Mary (Shipe) Burns are buried in the Red Holes Cemetery there. Burnsville had previously been called "Red Holes". I'm uncertain as to how large Bath County was in the early 1800's. Your Jeremiah could have been part of that enclave at Red Holes -- or he could have lived miles and miles away as part of a totally different Burns family! This will take more digging. I'll get back to you if I come across your ancestors. [Source: http://genforum.genealogy.com/shipe/messages/149.html] |

Mercurial huh. There are lots of good things said about Mercurial.
With the large list of your CPAN contributions, you're clearly a very prolific coder. It makes me curious what tools you use to aid you in being most efficient. In addition to Mercurial, do you use any other utilities?
I've been hard core vim all-the-way for years, and with the right .vimrc I've found that its suitability to Perl development is excellent. I've been considering giving Padre a try, seeing today that it has a vi keybindings plugin. Do you use Padre?
I think I'm going to post a general request-for-wisdom on the topic, but I appreciate your opinion in particular given the usefulness I've enjoyed in your modules.

Technical Information
Electricity uses on a dairy farm
Electricity is one of the main utilities which contribute towards farm management costs. A key part of any dairy farm involves managing these costs and amenities.
Electricity use on a dairy farm is dominated by milk cooling, water heating and vacuum pumps. On a typical dairy farm each of these account for 25-30% of the total consumption with the remainder being used for lights, pumps etc. Energy efficiency can be accomplished by utilising energy efficient technologies and energy management to achieving sustainable development. Managing these costs can lead to a more efficient farming output.

Continuing an ongoing trend, the 1st quarter 2013 vacancy rate in rented single-family homes, townhouses, and condos in the metro area fell year over year for the fourth quarter in a row and dropped to a cumulative vacancy rate of 0.9 percent. The vacancy rate was 1.6 percent during the first quarter of 2012. This is the lowest vacancy rate ever recorded by the survey which dates back to 2003. The first graph shows the vacancy rate for all units surveyed in the metro area and for select property types. Clearly, the overall trend has been downward since 2010, and the market has been very tight since 2010. Traditionally, these types of properties tend to have lower vacancy rates than multifamily apartment units. As apartment vacancies have continued to tighten (to 4%-5%) since 2009, we see condos, townhomes, and single-family homes tighten all the more. The vacancy rate for all units was 1.7 percent during the 4th quarter of 2012.
Meanwhile, increases in the average rent have begun to accelerate a little following numerous quarters of rather tepid growth. The average rent in all units surveyed for the metro area was 3.0 percent, rising from $1,056 during the first quarter of 2012 to $1,089 to the first quarter of 2013. Not surprisingly, single-family houses reported the highest average rent of $1,324, while condos reported the lowest average rent of $805 during the first quarter.
The third graph shows the year-over-year change in each type of unit. We can see that condos now appear to be establishing an upward trend after numerous quarters of year over year declines in the average rent. during the first quarter 2013, the condo average rents were up 6.9 percent, year over year, while townhouses were up 4.4 percent and single-family houses were up 4.8 percent.
These sizable increases suggest a change from recent quarters in which year over year increases were far more mild with changes ranging typically from 1 to 3 percent in both single-family houses and condos in recent quarters.
The last graph shows the average rent adjusted for inflation. While increases in rent have become the norm in recent years, we find that these increases are just about keeping up with inflation. In other words, the real average rent has been flat in recent years. However, if the current trend keeps up, we will start to see the average rent surpass inflation and show real gains. Using constant 2001 dollars, the average rent during the first quarter was $843, compared to $831 reported during the first quarter of 2012. That's an increase of 1.4 percent. So, we have seen a real increase over the past year, but it was an increase of 12 dollars.

In May of 2011, Saskatchewan passed changes to The Oil and Gas Conservation Act (OGCA),1 the act governing the regulation of resource development operations in the province. Although the associated Bill2 received Royal Assent on May 18, 2011, it was not proclaimed into force until April 1, 2012, in conjunction with the release of The Oil and Gas Conservation Regulations, 2012 (OGCR)3 and The Petroleum Registry and Electronic Documents Regulations (Registry Regulations).4
The aim of the amendments to the OGCA, and associated regulations, is to provide resource companies investing in Saskatchewan's energy and resource industries with the best support services and business and regulatory systems available.5 Included in those amendments was the introduction of vicarious liability and liability for directors, officers and agents of a corporation in certain circumstances; and the requirement that all licensees that enter into an agreement to sell or otherwise dispose of their interest in a well or facility apply for a transfer of the associated licence within 14 days after the signing of a purchase and sale agreement, or within 14 days of the relevant section coming into force (April 1, 2012) if an agreement has already been signed. For more details regarding the amendments to the OGCA, please see the Bennett Jones Update, "Saskatchewan Modernizes its Oil and Gas Conservation Act" (May 11, 2011).
With the enactment of the Registry Regulations and the OGCR, Saskatchewan has implemented a number of operational and procedural aspects of the amendments contemplated in the OGCA and detailed in the Explanatory Notes on the Bill.6 Some of the changes likely to impact operational and procedural aspects of energy and resource operations in Saskatchewan are summarized below.
The OGCR contemplate a number of operational changes that are likely to expand the scope of those persons impacted by the regulations. For example, a number of sections in the OGCR have been amended such that obligations are now imposed on operators7 of wells or facilities rather than simply on the owners. In addition, some requirements under the OGCR (including record keeping (s. 100)) are now applicable not only to "oil or gas" activities but also to "water, products or other substances".
As a result of changes to the OGCR, there are increased record-keeping requirements. For example, operators are now legally obligated to record certain information in the tour reports of every drilling rig (s. 103). In addition, where damage is done to a well by perforating, chemically treating or fracturing, and repair or abandonment is reasonably necessary in accordance with the applicable section of the OGCR, there is now a requirement for the operator to notify Saskatchewan's Minister of Energy and Resources of any such repair or abandonment conducted (OGCR, s. 57(2)).
There have also been changes to setbacks, such that all wells drilled on or after July 1, 2013, will have increased setback requirements from a water body, an occupied dwelling, a public facility, or an urban centre (OGCR, s. 25(2)). Even prior to July 1, 2013, the existing 100 m setback will be measured from the centre of the well rather than in proximity to drilling or associated equipment.
Furthermore, prior to the publication of the OGCR, there had been a prohibition on venting more than 900 cubic metres per day of gas. However, with the implementation of the OGCR, this prohibition has been clarified to explicitly include flaring (s. 51(1)).
There are now increased testing requirements for injection wells. Reduced from two years under the prior regulations, operators must now test and inspect injection wells at least once every year to ensure that there are no production casing, tubing or packer failures, the tubing-production casing annulus is filled with a satisfactory corrosion inhibiting fluid, and injection flow lines are in good working order without leakage or risk of leakage due to corrosions or material defects.
Finally, and consistent with amendments to the OGCA aimed at increasing penalties and providing for greater enforcement and investigation powers, section 122 of the OGCR contemplates the imposition of penalties for failing to comply with the submission or filing requirements pursuant to certain sections of the OGCR. The associated penalties are set at various amounts per day or per month, depending on the section of the OGCR under which the submission or filing was late.
In addition to changes to operational aspects of oil and gas operations, the publication of the Registry Regulations and OGCR will result in a number of procedural changes that are likely to impact licensees, owners and operators. For example, licensees are now required to apply for and obtain the approval of the Minister prior to suspending normal drilling operations, resuming drilling or servicing operations after a previous completion, suspension or abandonment of the well, abandoning or plugging back the well, or undertaking remedial operations for the purposes of eliminating a vent flow, gas migration or leaking open-hole abandonment (OGCR, s. 22).
In addition, the OGCR clarify that upgraders, refineries, and single-well batteries are exempt from the requirement to obtain licences under the OGCA, and additionally provide for an exemption from the licensing requirement for caverns for the storage of gas, crude oil or products, not including any associated surface facilities (OGCR, s. 15).
As detailed in the prior update, amendments to the OGCA are intended to facilitate Saskatchewan's participation as a partner in the Petroleum Registry of Alberta, the purpose of which is to provide identified users and stakeholders centralized access to comprehensive and reliable petroleum-related information such as volumetric infrastructure, valuation and royalty information. With the enactment of the Registry Regulations and various changes contemplated by the OGCR (ss. 105-108 and 110), certain reports and documents must now be submitted electronically to the Registry and will thereafter be considered original and legally enforceable.
Significantly, pursuant to revisions to a number of provisions, licensees and operators may apply to the Minister to vary certain requirements under the OGCR. In this manner, if a licensee or operator is unable to comply with specified provisions of the OGCR (for example certain provisions relating to decommissioning and abandonment requirements for well and facility sites: OGCR, s. 56) it can make an application to the Minister to have that particular requirement varied. On receipt of such an application, the Minister may approve the application subject to terms and conditions it considers appropriate, or refuse to approve the application for variation.
Finally, section 124 of the OGCR provides for the transition from the prior OGCR, now repealed, to the new OGCR. According to that section, the repealed OGCR remain in force and apply with respect to all regulatory activities related to oil and gas conducted before April 1, 2012. This transitional provision does not apply to the provisions of the OGCA, including the requirement that all vendors of a well or facility apply for a transfer of a licence within 14 days after the signing of the agreement, or within 14 days of April 1, 2012, if an agreement for sale had already been signed as at that date.
Changes to the regulation of oil and gas activities in Saskatchewan will, no doubt, have impacts on resource companies operating in Saskatchewan. If you would like more information on how these changes will impact your current or planned operations, please contact a member of Bennett Jones LLP's energy or regulatory groups, or one of the key contacts below.
Marie Buchinski and Chuck Davies are called to the bar in Saskatchewan.

The Fed-induced bubble in financial markets has undoubtedly made the rich richer while its easy money policies have devalued the purchasing power of average Americans.
Takeaway: Stronger Together...; Worth More Than A Bucket Of Warm Spit?; Trump Stump;
Editor's Note: Below is a brief excerpt from Hedgeye Potomac Chief Political Strategist JT Taylor's Capital Brief sent to institutional clients each morning. For more information on how you can access our institutional research please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
"The ballot is stronger than the bullet."
―Abraham Lincoln
In a long-awaited and highly-anticipated speech, Bernie Sanders delivered an impassioned endorsement of Hillary Clinton while she rallied the crowd with the message that Democrats are unified and ready to take on Donald Trump in the fall. In the end, Sanders has much to feel good about – he's helped shape the most progressive platform in Democratic party history.
The remaining question is whether or not the Clinton-Sanders relationship will actually blossom, and if she will be able to fully win over his supporters - many of whom are still reeling that he left the race before the convention.
This may be the year where the veep selections carry more weight than in years past - dating back to JFK's critical pick of LBJ. Trump's decision could be a make or break moment for legions of Republicans and undecided party leaders. The push to unify and reassure has Trump seriously considering Governors Mike Pence and Chris Christie, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, and Senator Jeff Sessions.
Clinton on the other hand, faces a much different situation. Her progressive moves within the party platform have helped her make progress with the wing she would most likely need help from and appears to be shifting her focus to VA Senator Tim Kaine, Labor Secretary Thomas Perez, and now Admiral James Stavridis. Title courtesy of VP John Nance Garner.
Trump continues to surprise - now adding Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to his growing list of convention speakers - all to be announced later today. McConnell, who will attend as a delegate and a speaker, endorsed Trump shortly after he clinched the nomination in early May, but has since kept his distance given the steady drumbeat of Trump's controversies. McConnell's participation is another step in the right direction for Trump, but he still lags in winning over other key party types - including his main primary rivals.
Takeaway: A closer look at CFTC futures and options positioning reveals that consensus remains rather long the S&P 500.
Below is analysis from our Macro team in a note sent to subscribers earlier this morning:
"As we highlighted on The Macro Show yesterday, the CFTC net futures and options positioning in the S&P was already long 58K contracts moving into this week, or +1.68x on a TTM z-score basis (and that's positioning through last Tuesday). With the low volume melt-up moves from Fri-Tues (S&P +2.6%) , expect an even longer consensus position at the end of this week.
Go ahead and buy all time-highs on peak cycle forward multiples (and that's assuming the consensus expectation for a major corporate profit turnaround) in a crowded long position, but we're going to sit it out."
Hedgeye CEO Keith McCullough handpicks the "best of the best" long and short ideas delivered to him by our team of over 30 research analysts across myriad sectors.
Takeaway: The housing bubble in Australia is bad news for the country's big banks.
Editor's Note: For more information on how you can access our institutional research email email@example.com.
Last week, Hedgeye Financials Sector Head Josh Steiner held an institutional call discussing Australia's housing bubble, and why now is the time to short Australian Banks.
The country's big four banks: CommBank (CBA), National Bank (NAB), Westpac (WBC) and Australia & New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ) are holding the bag on this developing mess. With over 60% of their loan books in residential mortgages, there's basically nowhere to hide.
Here are some noteworthy highlights from Steiner's call:
Contrary to popular belief, the primary driver accounting for approximately 30% of the Australian GDP is building, selling, and financing property, not mining which only accounts for around 8% of GDP. 60-70% of the market being bought with interest-only mortgages; this model only works when property prices continue to go up, as Americans may painfully remember.
An important tenet of Steiner's demand slowing call rests on the assumption that Chinese demand for foreign property investment will slow in 2016 vs 2015, and then slow further in 2017. Part of this has to do with the coming credit storm and pace of FX reserve drawdown.

Takeaway: Hedgeye Potomac analyst Joe McMonigle called Saudi Arabia and Iran's plans to ramp oil production despite all the "freeze" talk.
Oil prices tumbled -4% today following an IEA report that OPEC oil production hit an eight-year high last month. This news comes six months after discussions between OPEC and non-OPEC countries to "freeze" production fell apart.
Hedgeye Potomac Senior Energy analyst Joe McMonigle saw it coming. (Click here to read his prescient research note written back in March.) Here's what he said:
"We continue to see no chance of a production cut at this time and maintain our thesis that Saudi Arabia believes its market share policy is winning."
Take a look at the OPEC oil production chart below from Bloomberg. As you can see, Saudi Arabia and Iran have been ramping up production just as McMonigle predicted.
Takeaway: As money continues to flow out of Equity ETFs, fixed income and defensive sectors like Utilities and Gold have been the primary beneficiary.
And the picture painted isn't pretty for equity bulls.
Here's fund flow analysis via our Macro team in a note sent to subscribers earlier this morning:
"Year-to-date stock ETF flows are -$31.6 billion redemption, which would be the worst year on record for the category through the beginning of our data set which starts in 2013. On the active management side, it's worse - active equity mutual funds have lost over twice as much with withdrawals now totaling -$72.8 billion in 2016 – everyone is long equity beta through automated asset allocations – scary stuff!"
Take a look at the chart below which show net money flows to Equity (less Fixed Income) funds with detailed analysis from our Financials team:
"The net of total equity mutual fund and ETF flows against total bond mutual fund and ETF flows totaled a negative -$16.7 billion spread for the week (-$17.1 billion of total equity outflow net of the -$377 million outflow from fixed income; positive numbers imply greater money flow to stocks; negative numbers imply greater money flow to bonds). The 52-week moving average is -$3.0 billion (negative numbers imply more positive money flow to bonds for the week) with a 52-week high of +$20.2 billion (more positive money flow to equities) and a 52-week low of -$19.0 billion (negative numbers imply more positive money flow to bonds for the week.)"
Meanwhile, massive year-to-date inflows continue to flood into our favorite Macro call like Utilities (XLU), Gold (GLD) and Long Bonds (TLT). Again, here's our commentary from our Financials team:
"Fixed income mutual funds also experienced withdrawals losing -$2.4 billion last week, however, bond products have averaged +$2.2 billion in new funds per week on the active fund side with fixed income ETFs raising +$1.5 billion per week thus far in '16. Finally, defensive investors shored up +$15 billion of cash in money market funds last week as summer risk aversion picked up."
Below is the sector and asset class weekly and year-to-date ETF breakdown:
All things considered, with equity markets tapping all-time highs, its worth asking:

When I was 9 years old, my parents discovered I had an aptitude for drawing and watercolor painting, after which they pushed art pretty hard, to the point where I became burned out around the end of high school. After an eight year stint in the army, and as long a hiatus from art, I began a career as a paralegal. However, there was always a nagging voice inside me urging me to express myself artistically, though a satisfactory outlet was ever elusive. While I did pick up a camera shortly before having my daughter in 1994, with the advent of motherhood I could neither find the time nor the means to continue with it. But the interest in photography remained and it was not until I went on a family trip to Switzerland in 2008, armed with...

I was blown over by the news this morning. This is a major political defeat for the president. Virtually every court watcher and Senate observer believed that if Bush stuck to his guns, the Republicans in the Senate would not hand their own C-in-C a massive defeat. He, and I mean by "he" Karl Rove, must have had no stomach for a fight. Why? The Plame-Leak CIA Grand Jury. That's right: after tomorrow's expected announcement of indictments, Bush and Rove may have found the Republican senators unwilling to go to the mat for him, or at least demanding, in return, a heavy price that he would have to pay (such as distancing himself from Rove, or even Cheney). Bush cannot be fighting the conservatives in his own party when he needs their support to call the indictments (a la Delay) "politically motivated." Since he can't fire the grand jury, he fired his other liability: Miers. Bush now has a carrot to offer his party for their support when his administration gets slammed by the grand jury: a nominee to their liking, a right-wing ideologue like Luttig, for example (the man who recently wrote that in the perman ent war against terrorism, there can be no limitations on the president's ability to lock up someone indefinitely, without trial, whom he accuses of being a member of Al Qaeda, including American citizens apprehended on American soil, i.e., you and me).
Personally, I think Miers should have refused to withdraw her nomination. She should have been self-interested and told W that he should be loyal to her, no matter what, as she had been to him all along. He said she was the "best qualified" person for the job, and she could have, and should have, made him stuck by it. In the end, I still believe that the Senate Republicans would not have dared defeat her nomination, and she would be on the court. If Miers remained the nominee, they would have confirmed her, and exacted as their price that Bush rid himself of the Plame Leak Scandal by ditching Scooter and Karl. And I think Bush would not have dared withdraw Miers against her will, because that would be even a graver defeat. In other words, Miers could have forced Bush to pick her over Rove. I'm sorry she didn't, for her sake.
FYI, a close relative in Dallas Miers fairly well, and they used to belong to a church together in the 1980s. According to this source, Miers helped out with a "no questions asked" STD clinic run by that church. Now she attends a more evangelical/fundamentalist church. But this relative says that Miers is every bit as intelligent and nice as we have been led to believe by Harry Reid. All moot now.

Miers Withdrawal is a Major Political Defeat
Posted by The Law Talking Guy at 8:15 AM
6 comments:
But you know what? For once the Democrats have their act together. They're actually working in unison, pushing the message that the wingnuts of the Republican party killed this nomination. This message is making its way into the media. Whether that's true or not, it helps set the stage for opposing a candidate like Luttig. Good for them!

The amazing thing is, all the Democrats want is someone who is not Bork and all the Republicans want is someone who is not Souter. How hard can that be?
// posted by Bell Curve - 10:37 AM
I disagree with LTG that Meirs wanted the nomination. I don't think that was ever serious. How could it have been with such a poor response to the Questionnaire that she sent over? And I don't think her nomination was guaranteed by a long shot. Nor am I surprised that her nomination was pulled. I was waiting for that because of the tone of some media reports last week. The question was one of timing. I do agree that there is probably a link with the Rove indictments. I wondered in my post this morning if they were hoping to smother Rove reports. If that was the case, it failed. Instead they seemed to have highlighted the Rove story instead.
Is it me, or is anyone else thinking Watergate analogies whereby some small side show suddenly consumes an administration?
// posted by USWest - 3:26 PM
This is not so much a defeat for Bush but a massive victory for the Theocratic Right. Just to give you folks an idea how scary that is, they think Bush sold out!
Also its not that the Republicans want "not Souter." They want a clone of Thomas (the only justice to rule in that the President had unlimited power with regard to the Guantanamo detainees case). They will "settle" for a Rhenquist clone. They think a justice like Rhenquist is a compromise.
This will be a bitter drag out nasty fight and while I'm glad the Democrats didn't spend a penny of their "political capital," I'm concerned that the Religious is feeling their oats right now and may push Bush to go way out to the right.

US West suggests that Miers nomination was never serious, or that she did not want it. I cannot agree. I think it was very serious and she wanted it very much.
Frist called Bush last night to tell him they didn't have the votes--whether this was in the full Senate or on the Judiciary Committee is unclear. I am surprised Bush did not go to the mat for her.
But maybe he really needs a lawyer right now... - 5:13 PM
Good point, Strangelove. Maybe Bush does need a good lawyer!

Jewish World Review Oct. 29, 2007 17 Mar-Cheshvan 5768 The Values Voter is us By Suzanne Fields

The conventional wisdom says the religious right has a monopoly on the "values voters," but that's too simple. We're all values voters. We just define our values differently. In a democracy, politics is the art of capturing the passions of the people, and in the heat of the race, intelligent argument usually drives most of us toward the middle.

Mythology resembles one large SparkNote in itself, offering a detailed overview of the myths of ancient Greece and Rome and a brief overview of Norse mythology. Since a tradition as immense as classical mythology cannot be presented in any linear fashion, Mythology frequently contains references to characters or stories that are not explained until later. Nonetheless, it is perfectly acceptable to skip around in the book to alleviate this confusion whenever it arises.
Hamilton begins by providing her rationale for the study of mythology and her understanding of its nature. She then introduces the major gods and describes the creation of the universe. Twelve primary gods live together on Mount Olympus: Zeus, the chief of these Olympians, is joined by his wife (and sister) Hera; his daughter Athena; his sons Hermes and Ares; the brother-and-sister pair Apollo and Artemis (also Zeus's children); Zeus's brothers Poseidon and Hades; his sister Hestia; and Hephaestus and his wife Aphrodite (both sometimes considered to be Zeus's children as well). The names of these gods are Greek in origin, but the Romans renamed most of the gods when they adopted them. Except in cases when a story is told exclusively by a Roman author, Hamilton employs the original Greek names in her retelling. Besides these twelve are two other important gods—Zeus's sister Demeter and his son Dionysus—who live on earth rather than on Mount Olympus.
According to classical mythology, the universe began in a manner that—remarkably—resembles the modern scientific theory of the big bang. There was originally only chaos and darkness. Out of the swirling energy Earth and Heaven arose and gave birth to many children. Though most of these children were monsters, they eventually gave rise to the Titans, a race of gods in human form. One of the Titans overthrew his sky-father, only to see his own son Zeus overthrow him later.
Zeus and his siblings defeated all the Titans in a fierce battle and installed themselves as the lords of the universe. They created humankind and promptly began manipulating their new creatures. Zeus, an incurable philanderer, frequently descended to Earth, often in some magical form, to have his way with beautiful human women. The offspring of these liaisons grew to be the first heroes among humankind, and, with the gods' aid, won many victories against vicious monsters and completed monumental tasks. Many of these half-divine heroes, along with their few all-mortal peers, went on to found the dynasties of Greece. The most notable of these heroes are Theseus, Hercules, Cadmus, Achilles, and Aeneas.
The stories about these heroes, which account for the founding of certain cities or the legitimacy of certain dynastic bloodlines, were meant to explain phenomena that the Greeks observed in the world around them. The Greeks also told many other tales, often of a nonheroic nature, to explain the qualities of flowers, lightning, landscapes, and so on. Indeed, as Hamilton writes, these myths can be seen as "early science." Much of classical myth, however, is far more complex than these simple explanatory tales. The works of the Greek playwrights, written around 500 b.c., portray a rich, complex social and ethical fabric and are sensitive to the most profound issues of the human condition. The protagonists of these plays, caught in webs of circumstances beyond their control, have to nonetheless face their situations and make moral decisions of direst consequence to themselves and others. Many scholars consider these Greek tragedies to be as sophisticated in their psychology and writing as anything penned since.
Hamilton reserves a final section for the traditions of the Norsemen. Unlike the Greek and Roman stories, which have been retold in many versions that still exist today, the Norse tales have barely survived. Christian obsession with the destruction of pagan material swept clean Scandinavia, Germany, and other Norse areas. Only in Iceland did written versions of Norse tales survive. These Icelandic texts, which date from about a.d. 1300 but reflect a much older oral tradition, depict a bleak, dismal, and ultimately doomed universe, headed for a day of battle between good and evil in which even the gods will be destroyed. Though Hamilton's treatment of Norse myth is brief, it does offer a striking contrast to the comparatively sunny world of Mediterranean myth.
On page 380 I found it really interesting that Oedipus said " ' For the love of God, ' " a couple of times. I thought they might say for the love of the gods (plural) since they honored many not just one. Or was God considered Zeus to them?
32 out of 45 people found this helpful
There is a dual sided portrayal of women present throughout the story. They are shown to be shallow, selfish, and self-centered, but also to be secretly controlling, planning everything that happens.
According to Hamilton, "[Hercules] was what all of Greece except Athens most admired. The Athenians were different from the other Greeks and their hero therefore was different"(225).

Nozomi the spacecraft
The Nozomi space probe, also known as Planet-B, is the first Japanese spacecraft to travel to Mars. It was launched aboard an M-V rocket on July 4, 1998 from NASDA's Kagoshima Space Center, and is scheduled to reach the red planet early in 2004. It weighs just over half a ton (half of which is fuel) and it carries special instruments to study the atmosphere of Mars, including cameras, magnetic sensors, electron thermometers, spectrometers, and dust detectors.
You can learn more about Nozomi at http://www.isas.ac.jp/e/enterp/missions/nozomi/cont.html.
Nozomi the train
Nozomi is also the name of the fastest class of Shinkansen "bullet trains" that run between Tokyo and Fukuoka. The Nozomi trains only stop at the largest cities en route, allowing them to make the trip from Tokyo to Osaka in just two and a half hours, which is quicker than flying if you count ground transportation and check-in time.
Farther west, the Nozomi is even faster: the segment between Hiroshima and Kokura is the fastest scheduled rail service in the world, with 500-series trains (see Shinkansen Types) reaching speeds of nearly 300 kph (190 mph).
As gn0sis has kindly reminded me, the Nozomi is the only JR train that you can't ride on with a Japan Rail Pass.
Nozomi the lady
Nozomi is also a fairly popular girl's name. It can be written in a number of kanji combinations: the one above is common, but you can also find Nozomis who spell their name 希, 望美, or 希美. There are even a few boys who are named Nozomi: the soccer player Nozomi Hiroyama, for instance.
December, 1998: Too much fuel used during a course correction A malfunctioning valve during the December 20, 1998 Earth swingby cause the spacecraft to use much more fuel then originally planned and left Nozomi unable to reach Mars using its current flight path. A new plan was formatted: to have Nozomi orbit the Sun for four years and wait for a more opportune moment and, using gravity assists from Earth, reach Mars at a slower relative velocity.
April 2002: Powerful solar flares disrupt systems During the Earth gravity assist on April 21, 2002 solar flares damaged the communication and power systems. The heating system failed due to an electrical short and Nozomi's remaing fuel reserves froze. As Nozomi approached Earth, the fuel thawed and the flyby was successful.
December 2003: The final straw A second and final Earth swingby occurred June 19, 2003. The maneuver was successful, and the craft limped towards Mars, injured, but still functional. However, the December 9, 2003 maneuver to position the craft for Mars orbital insertion failed. The mission was for all intents and purposes abandoned. To reduce chances of crashing into Mars and contaminating it, the craft was inserted into a 2-year heliocentric orbit.
Ongoing Nozomi will remain in its highly elliptical orbit, conducting alternative missions including monitoring solar activity. In other Mars news, the European Space Agency's Beagle 2 also is having problems. The Mars Exploration Rovers are set to reach Mars in January 2004.
