Just then an assistant who was passing offered him a stool. He sat down, put on the shoes and walked to the end of the aisle. He'd just decided they were too loose when he spotted a rectangular packet amongst a display of pasta sauces by a well-known chef. It was a pair of insoles. 'Go ahead,' urged the assistant. 'They're a bit loose, aren't they?' With the insoles in, the shoes were a perfect fit and Simon placed them in his basket.
In a surveillance booth far away a man with shades, jet black moustache and a quantity of gold jewelry round his fingers and neck watched on a screen. He turned to another monitor and watched a woman coming into the store. He zoomed in on a ladder in her tights and spoke into a microphone.
On the shop floor an assistant pushing a trolley along the aisle of fruit and veg tossed a thin packet amongst the tomatoes. A moment later she put her finger to her ear to hear the man say, 'Better put a smaller pair near the yoghurts to be on the safe side.'

The Best Hearing Aids Buying Guide
If you find yourself asking people to repeat themselves a lot or routinely pushing your volume over 60% just to hear it, you may be wondering if your hearing is as good as it used to be. Hearing commonly deteriorates as people get older and have been exposed to loud sounds over the course of their lifetime. While modern medicine can't yet reverse hearing loss, with the use of a hearing aid, you can continue to listen to the detailed sounds.
What are Hearing Aids?
Hearing aids are a small medical device that helps individuals with hearing loss. There are hearing aid styles that go in the inner ear canal (ITC/CIC), fit in the outer ear (ITE) or rest behind the outside of the ear (BTE), and they primarily consist of a small microphone, an amplifier, a small speaker, and a battery.
What are the best hearing aids?
When choosing between hearing aid technologies, the first step should always be to consult with your ear, nose and throat (ENT) and audiology doctor. They will be able to measure what type of hearing loss you have, whether you have moderate hearing loss or severe hearing loss, and advise whether you need a speaker/receiver-in-canal for better hearing.
Who needs hearing aids?
Hearing aids are predominantly for use by people with profound hearing loss and should not be used by people with moderate or minorly deteriorated hearing because they are the equivalent of putting a powerful speaker directly into your ear. Consult with a hearing care professional to determine what hearing device is safe for your level of hearing loss.
Buy hearing aids at Sam's Club
Once you know what your audiologist recommends, check Sam's Club for members-only prices for new hearing aids including CIC, ITC, ITE, BTE and mini-BTE styles.
What Different Types of Hearing Aids Are There?
We've briefly mentioned each main type of hearing aid, but let's take an extra second to discuss them.
In-ear hearing aids
In-the-ear hearing aids are less visible than behind the ear hearing aids. However many models come in a fully manufactured shape so they are not available for a custom earmold receiver. These hearing aids come in three main styles:
- Completely-in-the-Canal (CIC) means the entire microphone, amplifier, speaker and battery are in a device that sits hidden in your ear canal. In the canal hearing aids are the least visible type of hearing aid, but the small size means it only has a general microphone instead of a directional microphone. Also, some may have issues with discomfort and earwax; Sam's Club carries no-wax options like the GHI Simply Slim.
- In-the-Canal (ITC) devices usually have the microphone, amplifier and battery portion of the electronic device resting accessible in the bowl of the outer ear, with a small protrusion extending the speaker/receiver snuggly into the ear canal.
- In-the-Ear (ITE) devices have all of the microphone, amplifier, receiver and battery in a unit that does not extend down and into the ear canal. With nothing in the canal, your ear feels less pressurized. The larger design also allows for better directional microphones and telecoils which can detect a secondary speaker near the ear, such as cell phones.
Behind the ear hearing aids
Behind the ear hearing aids (BTE) are the most common design for hearing aid wearers. Their larger designs can include better directional microphones, a wider range of sound amplification and longer-life batteries, all sitting in a device that slings over the back of the ear. With these, you still get an option about where the speaker/receiver goes by choosing between a traditional RITA BTE or a Mini-BTE with RITE or RIC:
- Receiver-in-the-Aid (RITA) means the speaker is in the device behind the ear, and the sound waves run down a small tube into an earmold custom shaped for the wearer.
- Receiver-in-the-Ear (RITE) means the speaker is in the bowl of the ear, connected by a wire to the amplifier in the behind-the-ear unit.
- Receiver-in-the-Canal (RIC) this is roughly the same as a RITE, except the speaker is directly the ear canal. The more concealed-size often comes with a sacrifice in sound quality.
Analog vs. Digital
While most analog hearing aids consist of just a speaker, amplifier and receiver, newer digital hearing aids include small computers. Some of these devices have preset modes for different environments, can eliminate background noise, connect to smartphones, and offer Bluetooth phone calls and volume control.
What Sizes of Hearing Aids Can I Choose?
Completely-in-the-canal devices can be smaller than a dime, while BTE models are larger but offer greater features and battery life. Before focusing on size, see if your local Sam's Club has a hearing healthcare center where you can get tested for the hearing aid you need. Once you agree on what is the right hearing aid for you, get measured and fitted. Ask if a custom earmold can be tailored for maximum comfort.
What to Consider when Buying Hearing Aids
Hearing test to validate you need hearing aids
While many hearing aids are available over the counter, the National Institute of Health doesn't want people just buying them without getting tested. Someone with only minor or moderate hearing conditions could further damage their hearing with a hearing aid, and should seek lesser options like personal amplification devices. Get tested by an audiologist.
Battery life
Because all hearing aids are doing similar tasks, generally speaking, the smaller the hearing aid - the smaller the battery, which means the shorter the battery life. A small, concealed CIC battery might need to be changed out every three days. While a larger BTE hearing aid might last two to three weeks. Whatever you choose, make sure to stock up on hearing aid batteries at Sam's Club or SamsClub.com
What types of fit are comfortable for you?
Will you prefer the device pressed snug in your ear? Or resting on the bowl? Or draped over the back of your ear? Each fit provides its own comforts and discomforts, and the best way to determine your preference is to feel them out.
Health insurance coverage
Once you've spoken to an audiologist covered by your insurance, ask what devices would be covered as well.
When considering price, factor in your insurance coverage, who you're buying from, and how many batteries you're going to go through - along with whether you can buy those batteries in bulk.
What Brands of Hearing Aids Does Sam's Club Sell?
Sam's Club offers members-only prices on hearing aids from GHI and Liberty and bulk packs of hearing aid batteries from Duracell.
FAQ - Hearing Aids
Does health insurance cover hearing aids?
Not all American states require health insurance to cover hearing aids, so check your plan.
Does Medicare cover hearing aids?
Most of Medicare does not cover hearing issues or devices, but Medicare part B does cover hearing exams for recent injuries or conditions.
Does Medicaid cover hearing aids?
This too depends on what state you are living in. Check with your state's Medicaid details.
How much do hearing aids cost?
With Sam's Club members-only prices, you can get a hearing aid starting around $350.
How do hearing aids work?
Hearing aids use a microphone to capture sound, an amplifier to raise its volume, and a receiver to put the amplified sound waves into your ear.
How long do hearing aid batteries last?
They can last between 3 days and 3 weeks, depending on the size and device using them.

In 2005, Michael began to exhibit difficulty breathing. After an extensive workup and an unsuccessful trial with C-Pap, he was provided with a chest cuirass. About one week later, he suffered a stroke to the brain stem which paralyzed his diaphragms. Mike was left no other option than a tracheotomy and a mechanical ventilator.
Michael was evaluated for a diaphragm pacing system at the Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis. After some preoperative testing to ensure his phrenic nerves were intact, he was implanted and began pacing in January 2006.
He has undergone extensive physical therapy, and "can now walk, talk, eat, and drink all on my own with very little help." He still uses his ventilator at night and occasionally when under the weather, "but it sure beats being hooked to that thing 24/7."
He states "Thanks to the diaphragm pacing system, I have been given an extension on my life. I am embracing that extension with happiness and joy and a lot of love! I am looking forward to celebrating my 10th year on the phrenic pacers and look forward to a trip to New York to visit you all and thank you personally for giving me the gift of life you have. You do not know how much I so much appreciate Avery Biomedical and look forward to meeting you and letting you see how well I do since you gave me the extension of my life in January 2006."
The Avery Diaphragm Pacing System is an implanted phrenic nerve or diaphragm stimulator. It consists of surgically implanted electrodes and receivers with an external transmitter and antennas.
It can be implanted either cervically or thoracically using minimally-invasive techniques such as video-assisted (VATS) or thorascopic approaches.
The Avery Diaphragm Pacing System is the only diaphragm pacing system to have full premarket approval (PMA) from the US FDA and CE Marking privileges under the European Active Implantable Medical Device Directive for adult and pediatric use.
In addition, using small implanted radiofrequency receivers rather than electrode wires that pass directly through the skin may decrease a patient's risk of infection and ongoing wound care management issues.
Avery has been commercially distributing diaphragm pacing systems since the early 1970's. Since then, more than 2,000 patients have been implanted in over 40 countries establishing an unsurpassed record of safety and reliability. Due to their high reliability and cost effectiveness, the Avery pacers are reimbursed by Medicare and most private and government insurance around the world.

'Tis the beginning of the season to be Jolly, and even the hardened skinflinter has to open arms somewhat to goodwill, generosity and general goodies. Tiddler has already been inundated with varying levels of E numbers and general stickiness, ranging from the sweets from a Christingle orange (tempered with raisins as a chaser) to an upside down gingerbread man decorated as a Rudolph. (Will the craft fair/WI brigade ever run out of charmingly cutesy ideas?) Digger on the other hand is feeling a little deprived without a chocolate advent calendar this year, but is bearing up well by resorting to sneaking Jelly Beans when the packet is left unattended.
Savvy xmas skinflintery so far:
DIY advent for Tiddler, with little goodies inside- crayons, stickers, toys – most of which were duplicate things we have accumulated over the year from party bags and such like, and therefore put to one side at the time. She thinks that the little wooden bottle she has spotted in number 9 is housing a genie so we are getting ready for some fun with that one!
Cost: £0 for the goodies, and £0 for the fabric calendar which was a hand-me-down gift.
Advent candle. In theory Thrifter did go into town with money to buy one this year, but got sidelined having her eyes tested (free on the NHS hurrah) and forgot about the candle, by which time December 1st was on the doorstep already. Digger says it was a waste last year anyway as Thrifter had bought a triangular shaped one which, getting wider at the bottom as triangles have a habit of doing, refused to burn down properly each day and resulted in Digger getting himself in a complicated daily stand-off with it, large carving knife in hand ready to chop at the offending areas of wax. So this year, 'reuse' is our key word by 'recycling' random birthday candles into a admittedly more-shabby-than-chic advent candle plate. I can't claim to be too proud of this one, and am rather embarrassed to photograph it for here, but Tiddler gets the concept or burning one down each day before she gets to open her advent calendar pocket, so I guess it works.
Cost: £? minimal for the original candles, greenery from Digger.
Wreath, made from more greenery brought home from Digger, a couple of old ribbons from chocolate boxes and based around a circular piece of a broken mobile that used to belong to Tiddler. She had fun winding the ribbons in and out.
Cost: £0
The start of the hand-made gifts: buttons, beads, ribbons, old maps…. all found kicking around the house. Only purchase was the stretchy hairband.
Cost: by my mathematical reckoning, £1.20 divided by 40 hairbands = 3p
Christmas debt shouldn't follow you from one year and haunt you through the next. Your friends and families will remember the TIME you spend with them, not the money.
Any further ideas please of Christmas skinflintery- please comment?

Hello Internet! My apologies for being MIA these past couple of weeks. While on route to Mars from Noir-ville, rocketing through the icky blackness in my slipspace-podship , I accidentally ricocheted down the gravitational drainpipe of a worm-hole and found myself spat out into a multi-verse of high-fantasy and political tumult. You know what they say about "Best Laid Plans of Mice and Men." Weeping monarchs, child clairvoyants, and young girls in love for the most worrisome of reasons. Love in all its dimensions. Hold on to your heartstrings folks, Week 6 has finally woken up.
70. Uncle Flower's Homecoming Waltz by Marissa K. Lingen
In the war that never ends, dreaming the future is not an unmixed blessing.
Zally is a 12-year old girl whose dreams offer snippets of the future, centuries after her lifetime. She is not alone in this; Her grandmother is a year dreamer who works in the divination sector of the capital, so she's acquired a sort of luxury in life attached to her position. The world of 'Homecoming Waltz' is one where humans have found a way to alter their brain chemistry to elucidate and consciously focus their dreams in divining the future, a sort of astral projection. Zally is ecstatic for the return of her Uncle Flower, a paternal figure to her who has been away at war for nearly two thirds of her life. At Flower's reception, Zally moves to embrace her long-absent Uncle, seeking to impress him. But Flower's is a changed man, addled by the shell-shock of warfare and profoundly disturbed by how the manipulation of dreams has stolen the last respite of innocence from everyone, even his beloved niece.
I really liked this story, and I had a feeling I would as soon as I read the first paragraph,
My grandmother says all stories begin with a death. My grandfather says with a birth. And Aunt Albert says they're both wrong, and stories begin with someone not getting what they want.
But no one was born, and no one died, and I got what I wanted, and that is where this story begins.
Uncle Flower's Homecoming Waltz is captivating story about a fictional society that has monopolized and mobilized their own dreams in the service of sustaining their nation, and the assorted costs and causalities attached to such an action. Zally wants so much to prove herself an adult in the eyes of her mentor, to have him shine praise for the sacrifice of her innocence in being trained to become a seer. But Flower does not want his niece to be swallowed by the same machine of war that he himself was just narrowly spat out of. Zally is perturbed by this, feeling that she can make no choice that is her own and no one else's. Eventually, the crossroads of life deem that they must part once again. Flower, a man changed by war. Zally, a woman changed for their encounter, standing on the cusp of it.
117. Beauty Belongs to the Flowers by Matthew Sanborn Smith
In Miho's world, nanos, plastic surgery, and robot girlfriends can fix just about anything…or break it.
In a future Nagasaki, Miho is a young woman who just wants to be loved by her beloved. Her father lies in a hospitable quarantined behind an air pocket of isolating fabric, a well-respected causality of a faultily contained nano-virus. His death marks the death of her family life and the death of her meager quality of life. But Miho wants nothing more than for Ichiro to love her. If only she could be beautiful or, as one of their mutual friends so delicately put it, if she didn't look so plain and homely maybe then Ichiro might love her. And so Miho sacrifices her body for love, and tragically we all know the end to this story.
Matthew Sanborn Smith creates a beautifully engrossing portrait of ill-infatuation set against the backdrop of a living breathing city. I've never been to Nagasaki, but everything in this novelette felt like a plausible prediction of what a hyper-advanced eastern metropolis would look like. Water-slicked pavement doused in the reflection of looming neon billboards, seedy shops and curios burrowed out of the walls of thin, packed-in alleyways. Consumer technology so advanced and so pervasive that wanton desire becomes simultaneously a thing of the past and an all-consuming present obsession. And unfortunately for Miho, the chase for nebulous unattainable standard of "Beauty" becomes her own undoing.
True beauty fell beyond the reach of natural evolution. A lady at the salon had explained that. Nature was full of hairs and moles and flaking skin. It operated accidentally. But humans had evolved the appreciation of beauty, built from an amalgam of living samples. Humans could bring its elements together and set them in stone. Before human invention, there had been no sleek skin, no symmetry down to the micron or grace that only a digital brain and artificial muscles could achieve.
Before technology there had been no real beauty. Miho could do it all if she had the money…
109. A Weeping Czar Beholds The Fallen Moon by Ken Scholes
After untold ages of futurity, the world is old. Regret is endless. Deceit is ubiquitous. And for the Weeping Czar, love is new.
Lord Czar Frederico XIII has just lost the thirteenth great love his life. Mistress Jazrel of the Espira region has claimed her own life with poison, plagued by the grief that her affections and love could do nothing to cure her lover of the weeping disease that has seized his family for generations. In order to belay dissent and sustain the morale of his people, the Czar conspires with his Minsters of Interior and Intelligence to implicate "The Lunar Resurgence" for the fabricated conspiratorial murder of his beloved, a faction of ascetic moon-worshipers who have long been a minority opposition to the ruling government of Espira. During an organized raid of their local temple, the troops find a shining crescent horn of unknown origin and material that shakes the Czar to his core. Through this horn, the Czar begins a liason across the folds of space and time with a young noblewoman by the name of Amal Y'Zir, daughter of the Great Blood Wizard Raj Y'Zir. And for a time, the Czar knows a feeling called 'Love' once again.
I really liked this story for two reasons. One, the world is an intriguing mix of feudalism and aristocratic suspense. Watching the reluctant Czar being courted off to a room of eager female suitors, only to succumb to the grief of losing Jazrel and losing himself in drunken isolation was pretty captivating. Ken Scholes has a way with language that shapes the Czar as a captivating and compassionate character despite the inequity of his official practices. His budding impossible romance with Amal was both intriguing and heartbreaking. I can't wait to read the Psalms of Isaak series and see what else happens in this world.
I am changing. He felt more confident; found himself doubting less in his own decisions. The fog of the sadness was lifting from him now.
And it came from the slip of a girl who believed he was a ghost.
Until her, he thought, perhaps I was.
And that concludes Week 7 of the Tor Let's Re….wait, no. No, that's not right. Well, God damn it.
Yes, I know. I've now missed two weeks worth of installments in this series. The outside world (school, home, career, etc.) takes precedence. But don't count me down and out yet, I have a surprise for you! Week 7 and Week 8 will be posted as intended throughout this next week. Look forward to two Tor Let's Reads this Tuesday and Thursday, with some long-belated shorter pieces interspersed between the two! You know I wouldn't leave you, Internet.
Also, If you happen to have take a choice glance at the bottom-or-so-right of this blogspace, you may have noticed somewhere in that scrolling stream of spur-of-the-moment aphorisms that, hence forth after this week, I've officially extended the weekly deadline for future installments in the Tor Let's Read to Wednesdays instead of Thursdays. It's proven to be almost depressingly more convenient, I have more time to read these stories and comment on them during the work week than I do on the actual weekends when all I have to do is homework and the occasional social obligation *sigh*. But yeah, rest assured that nothing's derailing this train of speculative literature. We chug along, we chug hard.
See you tomorrow, October 29th!

William Shakespeare's Star Wars: Verily, A New Hope by Ian Doescher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Shakespeare and Star Wars come together to wondrous results thanks to the fantastic writing and imagination of Ian Doescher. In 176 pages of iambic pentameter verse, stage directions, and some of the best Elizabethan clothed Star Wars characters ever seen, the reader finds one of the best adaptations of Star Wars ever.
The language is Shakespearean, but it's very readable and understandable even if you're not use to late 16th century language (even in quasi-form). The original dialogue of the Star Wars film is covered excellently with numerous additional lines of soliloquies and speeches by a variety of characters added by Doescher to give the book it's true Shakespearean element. However these additions don't take away from the film, they add to it by giving the characters a chance to express their inner thoughts that we never hear in the actual film. The soliloquies are full of spoilers from the prequels along with foreshadowing for the sequels that seem to be Doescher's shout out to Star Wars fans of all kinds.
I can't say how much I enjoyed this book and how much I think Star Wars fans will like it as well. If you're a Star Wars fan check out this book and you'll have a smile on your face as you imagine the film being transferred to an Elizabethan theater with all the action, adventure, and comedy taking place.

Mass of the Holy Spirit
Thomas Aquinas College
California Convocation
August 26, 2019
1. A Historic Convocation
I wish to thank Dr. McLean for inviting me back to the College, and offer my congratulations to the incoming freshman class for your imminent matriculation into what is truly a co-lodge, a community of saints and scholars on this relatively small campus. Of course, now there are two campuses. Thomas Aquinas College's 49th academic year is historic: We have gone beyond California, from the missions of St. Junipero Serra, even to the other end of our immense American continent. Three centuries after Spanish Franciscans came west, missionaries have now been sent east. May God prosper the work of Dr. Kaiser and the new community of saints and scholars under his tutorship. Of course the College's 49th year is timeless as well, because both campuses begin the year with the eternal sacrifice of the Mass. In this way, your College focuses all academic inquiry on our first principal and final end, He who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
2. An End to Justify the Means
We have come for the annual "convocation:" the Almighty has called us together, summoned us, to this chapel and this campus under the bluffs of the Topatopa range. Last month I received a letter from a second-year student thanking me for supporting the College. Jordan Raum wrote: "During my years in high school, the only thing everyone seemed to agree about college education was that it ought to be practical … using education for some financial or professional advancement." But even in high school, Mr. Raum grasped that a "good job" seemed, quite frankly, "impractical." "Everyone was for learning how to make money, but, oddly enough, it seemed no one was for learning how to spend it.… I needed an end to justify the means.… Nothing could be more practical than seeking to know what is worth living for and how to live for it." Some would quibble with a dangling proposition in Mr. Raum's sentence structure (perhaps "seeking to know that for which life is worth living" would be more felicitous), but our second-year hero has grasped, and resolved to apply himself, to the supreme good, with all his mind, all his strength, and all his soul. Thank you, Mr. Raum, for thinking clearly and articulating that clarity.
We thank the tutors and staff who provide such an education, the parents who send their children to this college, and the benefactors who sustain it. Let us not forget, either, the founders of Thomas Aquinas College, most of whom have gone back to God, may they rest in peace. It is God who has called us to this prophetic vocation in Christ. As Bishop Mitchell Rozanski said at your sister campus' Convocation two days ago, "You will be called to be the prophets of our own age, an age currently in despair, seeking the good news that brings true freedom, life in Christ and His Church."
3. The Gifts of the Holy Spirit (Isaiah 11)
Let us turn to the Scriptures, from the votive Mass of the Holy Spirit. The prophet Isaiah (11) foretells the birth of a King, an anointed one or "Messiah," from the lineage of Judah, a "shoot from the stump of Jesse" (King David's Father). He writes during the Babylonian Exile, when only a dead stump of the Davidic dynasty remained. But the tree is not completely dead. Should there come such a cataclysmic collapse of our own Christian culture as came to the Jewish Nation in the 8th century B.C., know for certain that God will never forsake His kingdom. There will always be a remnant, until the final return of the King. The Holy Spirit of God rests upon this once and future King: a spirit of wisdom and understanding, a spirit of counsel and of strength, a spirit of knowledge and of piety, and his delight will be the fear of the Lord. This Spirit will rest upon Him, and it will rest upon His prophets, but we must ceaselessly pray for these gifts. So the Church opens her university's academic years with a Mass of the Holy Spirit. So Thomas Aquinas College opens every seminar with a prayer to the Holy Spirit. May your delight this year be the fear of the Lord.
4. Children of God (Romans 8)
"Those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God," we hear from the eighth chapter of St. Paul's epistle to the Romans. "You did not receive a spirit of slavery but a spirit of adoption through which we cry Abba, Father." Children are free because they know their parents love them. Love, defined by St. Thomas as willing the good of the other, frees us from fear. Love rightly orders a human life, bestowing the capacity to choose the good. Our freshmen have left home, their safe nests and schools of love. They have set out to find another love, either in marriage or in consecrated life. Most of us suffer bouts of acute homesickness for the first few months, but a good college has a good chapel, another school of love. God must become your father now, and Mary your mother. Most TAC students attend one of its four daily Masses, and many return to the Chapel for the 9 p.m. Rosary. Others make a visit between dinner and evening classes during the College's daily holy hour. This chapel, along with the dear Guadalupe Chapel at the president's Hacienda, is truly your sanctuary, your solace, your home away from home. This is where your mother and father live. Visit them frequently, even if you're not Catholic, because a father's love and a mother's tenderness makes us truly free.
5. An Advocate
"Whoever loves me," Christ tells us in the Gospel, "will keep my word, and my Father will love him," and we will make our dwelling within him. It is this Word that renders the created world unintelligible. Our Lord promises to send an "advocate" Who will teach and remind us of this Word spoken by the Father. Every person who honestly engages rational inquiry is an advocate, to some degree, for the Logos. Aristotle, it is said, discovered absolutes, and wondered if there were an ultimate Absolute, one unity in truth that ordered all of existence. There is. You can find Him in this college, and in this chapel. God calls us together today to begin, again, the hard work of articulating the intelligibility of this world, and to demonstrate finally the fundamental truth of love. Only love creates, St. Maximilian Kolbe would say, even from the charnel houses of Auschwitz.
We cannot do this work without the constant help of an Advocate. The Father gives us two: Jesus and the Holy Spirit. In fact, God gives us a third, an Advocata nostra after whom this chapel is named. As we enter this academic year, the year two Thomas Aquinas Colleges prepare students who will articulate, restore, and defend the rational order, a culture built on the eternal Logos rather than merely on human knowledge, we put our hands into the hands of the Mother of God, Our Lady of the Holy Trinity. In words attributed to our patron, St. Thomas Aquinas, words many priests pray before Mass: "Mother of mercy and love, blessed Virgin Mary, I am poor and unworthy, and I turn to you in confidence and love. You stood by your son as he hung dying on the Cross. Stand also by me and by all who offer this Mass. Help us to offer a perfect and acceptable sacrifice in the sight of the Holy and undivided Trinity, our Most High God. Amen."

"Thomas Aquinas College is lending a helpful hand to the Church to fulfill her mission.

text: khb 1 Posted July 22, 2019 So a few weeks in, several cooks. Works a lot better than I expected for $270ish. But I am a bit unhappy at the amount of leakage. I can see how to beef up the gasket between the top and bottom. But when it rains (and sadly, in the Greater Denver area, rain during or just after a cook is pretty common), even when the cook is completed ... top and "bottom" vents completely closed .... I'm finding water in the bottom and just inside the "bottom" vent. Due to the lack of air tightness, it's taking many hours for the temp to fall ...so just tossing the cover over it seems dicey (who wants melted material all over? That would be worse than the bloody marketing sticker ....). Anyone worked out a way to beef up the vent seals? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is no longer interested in discussing denuclearization plans with US President Donald Trump after their talks fell apart abruptly Thursday, a senior Pyongyang official has warned.
"I have a feeling that Chairman Kim may have lost the will (to continue) North Korea-US dealings," Vice Foreign Minister Choe Son-hui told South Korea's Yonhap news agency Friday. "It's my personal feeling."
"I think about whether [we] should continue talks," she added, questioning the need to continue them after Trump said Thursday that he had to walk away from the meeting with Kim in Hanoi.
The American president said Pyongyang was ready to make concessions but not in areas that Washington had hoped for. He also claimed that Kim insisted on removing all US sanctions as a per-requisite to denuclearization.
North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong-ho, however, offered a starkly different breakdown of the summit, telling reporters in a separate presser that Pyongyang never asked for the removal of all sanctions.
According to him, Pyongyang had relayed to Trump that it was ready to "permanently and completely dismantle all the nuclear production facilities" at Yongbyon – its main site – if the US agreed to scrap sanctions "that hamper the civilian economy and the livelihood of our people."
Choe's remarks on Friday echoed those of Kim, who warned in his New Year's message that Pyongyang may take "a new path" if Washington keeps the country under pressure and sanctions.
PressTV-N Korea contradicts Trump, says ready to fully denukeNorth Korea says Kim never tied denuclearization to a full removal of US sanctions despite Trump's claims.
Trump and Kim met at a historic summit in Singapore for the first time last year, where they agreed to work towards denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. Subsequent diplomacy between the two sides, however, made little progress, mainly because the US refused to lift its harsh sanctions.
So far, Pyongyang has taken several steps toward the goal by suspending missile and nuclear testing, demolishing at least one nuclear test site, and agreeing to allow international inspectors into a missile engine test facility.
Washington, however, has insisted that sanctions on the North must remain in place until it completely and irreversibly dismantles its nuclear program.
Choe said in her remarks that Washington should have rewarded Pyongyang adequately by lifting at least some of the sanctions.

Catch an authentic view of Poland's serene Lake District and explore the country's little known answer to Cumbria
It is a land of bright green forests and glistening blue waters, where ancient castles sit among sleepy villages
THEY call it the land of a thousand lakes.
Technically it is the land of more than 2,000 lakes, but until recently most of us would struggle to point to any of them on a map.
For Brits, at least, getting here once meant a three-hour drive from Warsaw on roads you would rather not tackle.
But now, a new Wizz Air flight from Luton will whisk you over in less than two-and-a-half hours.
I'm talking about Masuria — Poland's little-known answer to Cumbria. A land of bright green forests and glistening blue waters, where ancient castles sit among sleepy villages.
It is a far cry from the Poland I had imagined — big cities, heavy on history and culture. Heavy on industry too, but not exactly a mecca for outdoor types. How wrong I was.
Here the air is fresh and the water, in summer, is warm enough to swim in. You can windsurf, kayak and sail on its lakes, or hike, bike or ride horses through the countryside.
Much of it is way out in the sticks but there are resorts where you will find hotels and holiday homes.
Mikolajki and Gizycko are among the biggest and either is a good base for a short break or something longer.
That's not to say they are buzzing. Vodka may be about as cheap as water, but it's not Ibiza. Nor would you want it to be.
In summer, city-dwellers flock to Gizycko to chill out on sailing boats.
We went for a private motorboat tour instead (£20 an hour to hire). It started with a leisurely trip along the canals, flecks of green and blue rippling through the water.
But by the end we were hurtling along at full throttle and feeling like James Bond, working up an appetite for lunch as the wind whipped our faces.
The Marina Tavern at the Eko Marina Port is just the ticket for that (tawernamarina.pl). With tables overlooking shimmering water, this upmarket spot would not look out of place on the Med. The food would, though.
The potato dumplings — huge things stuffed with meat — look alarming at first but you will soon be swayed by the taste.
Food in Poland is often hearty and always plentiful, though I was pleasantly surprised by the lighter dishes available. Think fresh trout and colourful salads.
Thankfully, there are plenty of opportunities to burn off the calories. Back in Gizycko we hired bikes to explore the nearby Boyen Fortress. The 19th-century castle dates back to a time when this whole region was part of Germany, and it is well worth a visit.
Accommodation-wise, there are plenty of options in the town. But for something charming and old-fashioned, try Hotel St Bruno. Brick walls and classic decor give this place an old-world feel.
If it is fishing you are after, head 20km south to the tiny town of Ryn. Although I can't say I caught anything, watching the sun set over the calm water left me feeling suitably serene.
Like one giant mirror
Ryn is home to just one hotel — a 14th-century castle built under the Teutonic Knights, where shields hang on the walls and the spa is built into a sort of romantic, underground brick cave.
For more adventure though, take a taxi to Galkowo. This village, set in the heart of the lush green countryside, gives you an authentic taste of Poland.
There you will find Stadnina Koni Ferenstein, a quaint collection of old wood-beamed houses and stables, where you can ride off on horseback (stadnina-galkowo.pl).
We chose a horse and cart ride and found ourselves gliding through the forest before stumbling, naturally, upon a lake.
It was such a perfect reflection of the trees and sky that it looked like one giant mirror. The only sound we heard was the faint call of a heron.
Back at the stables, we were given a traditional lunch in the owner's backyard.
The welcome we got was so warm it felt like visiting an old family friend — the type where you get plied with tea and cake by someone you haven't seen for 30 years.
By this point I wasn't at all surprised by their hospitality.
After a few days here I had concluded that Masurians are among the friendliest, funniest and happiest people I have ever met.
Perhaps it is because foreign tourists are still a novelty here, or that the scenery is so glorious and the air is so pure.
Either way, if there's one thing that this part of Poland isn't, it's industrial.
GO: MASURIA, northern Poland
GETTING THERE: One-way fares from Luton to Olsztyn-Mazury are from £15.49 with Wizz Air. See wizzair.com.
STAYING THERE: B&B at the four-star Hotel Zamek Ryn is from £88 in summer (zamekryn.pl./en) and at the 4H St Bruno, B&B is from £57 (hotelstbruno.pl).
The five-star Mikołajki Hotel is from around £55 (hotelmikolajki.pl).

As the much-anticipated exhibition Hope to Nope opens in London, we spoke to curators Lucienne Roberts of GraphicDesign& and the Design Museum's Margaret Cubbage about the graphic design exhibition that everyone's talking about.
In today's Letterform, Novo Typo's Mark van Wageningen looks at this splendid chromatic uppercase Clarendon Ornamented 'M' by William H. Page and wonders why type designers always think in black and white…
Some time ago we asked ourselves the question: Why do type designers traditionally think in black and white?' Why indeed? The world is colourful, the web is colourful, Hollywood does not produce any black-and-white movies anymore…Only type designers continue to think in these restrictive terms.
Typographers today are living in the Golden Age of design. Software for designing a book or a typeface has never been so simple, and it is also easy accessible to almost everybody. Examples of archetypal typefaces or books are visible online. Modern printing techniques and software techniques allow us to experiment with a wide range of possibilities. From paper to a computer screen or from a two-dimensional model to a three-dimensional prototype. The results of these experiments can be shared via all kinds of social media with anyone anywhere in the world. We are intrigued and fascinated by all these new possibilities...
Contemporary printing techniques and new browser techniques make it possible to add colour in typography. This renewed interest for colour-within-typography took off with the use of emoji on mobile devices at the beginning of this century. The introduction of these new techniques has allowed type designers to design fonts that are structured on separate coloured layers. The user can add different colours to these layers through a range of applications.
The logical combination between functionality and decoration in typography becomes more fluid with the use of colour.
For this example - the uppercase M (a fifty-line chromatic French Clarendon Ornamented), we see that designers and printers have done this multicoloured, chromatic design approach before. This M is part of Specimens of Chromatic Wood Type and Borders, published by William H. Page & Co. in 1874. This sample catalogue offers a fine collection of chromatic wood types for letterpress printers. The specimen book was used to sell the wooden pieces of type to printers. The typefaces of William H. Page & Co. are today part of the collection of the Hamilton Museum in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, USA.
If you take a closer look at the basic shapes of the M you will see that this design is not just decorative. The two coloured shapes – orange and blue – are printed upon each other and a new third colour – a brown/orange-mix appears. One plus one is three… In this design, the orange shapes are pushed into the vertical shapes of the blue. This makes the construction of the character so interesting, inspiring and fascinating.
Although we like this particular M (it can be considered as one the earliest and finest examples of chromatic typography), we are especially thrilled about the overall chromatic design approach of William H. Page. We are convinced that colour within type design will lead us to a new Renaissance in typography.
Colour will be the new Italic.
Colour will be the new Bold.

Statistics from Altmetric.com
AS part of the Defra-supported Great Britain Wildlife Disease Surveillance Partnership, the Veterinary Laboratories Agency (VLA) Diseases of Wildlife Scheme undertakes investigations into unusual wildlife mortality incidents. VLA - Preston has dealt with two incidents involving gulls that died as a result of ingesting dried sugar beet pulp. A similar incident has also been investigated in Cumbria.
In February 2006, a total of 23 gull carcases were received at VLA - Preston. Approximately 30, including black-headed gulls (Larus ridibundus), common gulls (Larus canus) and herring gulls (Larus argentatus), had been found dead over a three-day period at a reservoir in north-west England.

Add another notch to the accolades that major Texas cities are receiving from astute real estate investors.
PricewaterhouseCoopers and ULI recently released the 33rd edition of Emerging Trends in Real Estate, one of the most highly-regarded and widely-read real estate trend reports in the industry.
The report provides an in-depth outlook on real estate investment and development trends, real estate finance and capital markets, property sectors, metropolitan areas, and other real estate issues. More than 1,400 individuals completed surveys or were interviewed as a part of the research process for this report and represent a wide range of industry experts, including investors, fund managers, developers, property companies, lenders, brokers, advisers and consultants.
As you can see from the chart below, Texas cities topped the rankings of Markets to Watch: Best Overall Real Estate Prospects with Houston #1, Austin #2 and D/FW #5:
Texans have known for a long time that the Lone Star State has been experiencing unprecedented population increases, job growth and healthy real estate fundamentals primarily due to its business friendly state government and low cost of living that attracts employers and employees alike. It's no wonder that smart real estate investment companies from around the country are noticing the opportunities of Texas land as well.

You have to love when a movie contains 3D in the title. It helps you understand what the marketing focus of the film is. Unfortunately, the highlight of the 3D takes place in the opening credits, and then it's all downhill from there. It's safe to say you can skip the 3D version of Silent Hill: Revelation.
I don't actually have much to say about Silent Hill: Revelation. It's largely a mess of a film, and there just wasn't much to care about. Apparently this was based off the game Silent Hill 3, which I haven't played, or any game of the series, so I can't comment on how faithful it is. I have a feeling that playing the game with the lights off would be a scarier experience than watching Silent Hill: Revelation was. This movie is scare-free. At least the first Silent Hill had some creepy atmosphere and some imagery that stuck with you.
Anyway, we catch up with Heather (Adelaide Clemens) and Harry (Sean Bean), and find they've been moving around a lot and changing their identities. Heather has dreams about Silent HillI, despite not having any memory of the place, and Harry warns her to never go there. Note that even the characters in the movie warn to not go to Silent Hill. Heather also starts her first day at a new school, where she's immediately made fun of by a fellow student when asked to introduce herself (an example of some of the terrible dialog throughout). Way to welcome the new girl, bitch. But then Heather one-ups her by basically telling the entire class, "I don't want to know you, and I don't care about any of you." Nice girl, huh? Really gets you behind her character. In an amazing coincidence, another new student starts the same day (Kit Harrington), and takes an unusual interest in Heather despite her "piss off" speech. His interest in her, and that fact that he's clearly in his mid 20's, should factor into the plot later.
Harry disappears and Heather knows she must go to Silent Hill to find him. I'm a little confused about the rules of Silent Hill. We're reminded that Rose (Radha Mitchell) from the first film is still trapped in Silent Hill and cannot get out. Yet throughout the film nobody else seems to any difficulty with this. Early in the film, a creature from Silent Hill attacks Heather and a private investigator (Martin Donovan) that warns her about a cult that's after her. When Heather arrives later, she finds a few captured women that I guess randomly wandered into town. If creatures and people can get in and out at will, what's so special about Silent Hill then?
There's lots of exposition and long stretches where nothing happens. It's actually quite boring and felt like a much longer movie. You're just waiting for the next creature effect or Pyramid Head to show up again. While there are some interesting visuals, I never felt any impact with what I saw. It's the same problem I have with the Star Wars prequels. With nothing but greenscreen to act against, the actors don't convey any sense of threat or urgency. When there's the big showdown at the end, you're basically watching two creatures from a Hellraiser film that you know nothing about duke it out. I didn't care who won.
Oh, and spoiler alert - no Sean Beans died in the making of the film.
Silent Hill: Revelation 3D is a bad movie. It's a decent looking film, but devoid of any substance or fun. The story is a mess, the dialog is terrible, and a waste of actors capable of better. Stay away from this one.

and materiality becomes nothing but a mere representation of a structure of dominance
In occasion of his first solo presentation in the Netherlands, entitled, and materiality becomes nothing but a mere representation of a structure of dominance, Brazilian artist and researcher Daniel de Paula, who currently lives and works between Amsterdam and São Paulo, presents a series of objects and works that give continuation to his ongoing investigations towards infrastructure and the production of geographical space understood as the reproduction of violent practices that are fundamental to capitalist production.
Through a variety of sculptural and conceptual strategies the artist proposes, not only a critical reflection of the physical structures that surround us, but also of the agency and invisible phenomena they conceal.
Daniel de Paula (Boston,1987) graduated in 2012 from FAAP with a BFA in Visual Arts, São Paulo. In 2017 began a Masters in Human Geography, USP, University of São Paulo, (interrupted), São Paulo, and in 2018 came to the Netherlands for a post-academic residency at the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht. He currently lives and works between São Paulo and Amsterdam.
Recent solo exhibitions include, Francesca Minini, Milan (2019); Kunsthalle Gent, Gent (2019); Galeria Jaqueline Martins, São Paulo (2017); Galeria Leme, São Paulo (2015); White Cube Gallery, São Paulo (2014) and Centro Cultural São Paulo, São Paulo (2011).
His works have also been included in relevant institutional group exhibitions such as: Il coltello nella carne, curated by Jacopo Crivelli Visconti, Padiglione d'Arte Contemporanea, Milan (2018); Matriz do Tempo Real curated by Jacopo Crivelli Visconti, MAC, São Paulo (2018); Avenida Paulista, curated by Adriano Pedrosa and Tomás Toledo, MASP, São Paulo (2017); Metrópole: Experiência Paulistana, curated by Tadeu Chiarelli, Estação Pinacoteca, São Paulo (2017); ARTE PARA TODOS! Liberação e Consumo, curated by Mirtes Marins, Instituto Figueiredo Ferraz, Ribeirão Preto (2016), Nós entre os Extremos, curated by Paulo Miyada, Instituto Tomie Ohtake, São Paulo (2015), and Da próxima vez eu fazia tudo diferente, curated by Diego Matos PIVÔ, São Paulo (2012).
Daniel de Paula, Sjoerd Kloosterhuis, and Lumen Travo would like to thank Het Natuurhistorisch Museum Maastricht, Galeria Jaqueline Martins, Francesca Minini Gallery, the Jan van Eyck Academie and Renata de Bonis for their generous support.
Join us at the opening on the 18th of January from 17:00 till 19:00!

The Southern Writers Who Defined America
How William Faulkner and Ralph Ellison Explained the South—and Taught Northerners About Themselves
Tell about the South. What's it like there? What do they do there? Why do they live there? Why do they live at all?
—Shreve McCannon, to Quentin Compson
Struggling in William Faulkner's Absalom, Absalom! to field these questions, flung at him by his Harvard roommate on a snowy evening in 1910, the young Mississippian Quentin Compson plunges into the history of his own Southern community. Drawing on the accounts of his family and fellow citizens of the small town of Jefferson, supplemented by his own …

What is missing from football that you can find in every other professional sport involving a ball?
The answer: a true minor league system.
Baseball remains the national pastime despite the NFL�s popularity because you can see a professional ballgame in every state.
A minor league allows a player the ability to develop his talent and an opportunity to reach his goal of reaching the bigs. Burlington has seen how that works as former Bees now possess a World Series ring on the Kansas City Royals roster.
In baseball, a high school senior has a choice of pursuing his education while playing the game or going straight into the minors, getting a small paycheck and trying that route for a bigger bonus.
The Canadian Football League and the Arena Football League is the closest thing the NFL has to a minor league system. Both play a different brand of ball and the seasons aren�t linked up with the NFL�s fall schedule. The AFL is almost defunct on top of it.
Many argue college football serves as the minor league system for the NFL. There is one problem with that argument, college players don�t get paid for their blood, sweat and tears. And I don�t want to see them get paid, because a college degree in a chosen profession is their paycheck.
Let there be no illusions on why some athletes go to college � it is to pursue an NFL degree. A college education is secondary to many of those who put on helmets and cleats.
A true minor league system would end the debate whether college players should get paid. If an athlete wants an education then go to college, if he wants a few dollars after high school, go the minor league route.
What would a minor league system in football do for the American economy? First off, it would create another form of entertainment for 32 cities like Portland, Oregon; San Antonio, Hartford, Conn., and Des Moines. Each minor league team would feed a specific NFL team, similar to baseball�s farm system.
If each minor league team has 45 players, then 1,440 jobs have been created for athletes. On top of that, there will be coaches, administrative staff, stadium workers and supplementary positions added to the local economy.
The games would be played in the fall, but would keep Friday sacred for high school ball, Saturday for college and Sunday for the NFL. Minor league football would take place on Thursday nights, kind of a precursor to the weekend ahead.
Minor league football would give states like Iowa, Utah, Oregon and Alabama a chance to support a professional team. Although, some might consider the Crimson Tide close to being a professional team.
Would a minor league system weaken the talent pool at the college level? Of course it would. An athlete would have two roads to choose from rather than the single choice they have had for decades.
Baseball hasn�t suffered at the college or minor league levels because it offers two choices. Many college teams draw well and the College World Series in Omaha has proven to be a great success.
As far as the minors in baseball, it still exists and survives in places like Burlington, Beloit, Wis., and Clinton.
Would Iowans buy a ticket to see the Des Moines Demolition play the San Antonio Posse on a Thursday night in Drake Stadium? I would.
I saw what kind of crowds the Iowa Barnstormers drew in the early years because Iowans were happy just to have some form of professional football in the state.
A minor league system could bring football to more communities and states, and it would succeed if supported by the NFL.
The advantage for the NFL is there would be more than 1,000 players getting game experience, honing their talent and preparing for their chance at the big time.
Granted minor league teams would lose players to the parent club during the season, but that would give them the chance to try out other players as well.
The way it is now, if a college player doesn�t make the NFL, he can be stuck in a purgatory of sorts. They can either play a different brand of ball in less popular professional leagues or sit at home hoping to get a call for a tryout.
A minor league system would give opportunities to 18-year-olds and 35-year-olds. At worst, it would give triple-A cities a team to root for on a more personal level.

|Gender within an Indonesian Mathematics Classroom
|English abstract
|The sustainable development goals emphasise that gender equality within education is an important problem. Furthermore, gender equality is more than just equal access for boys and girls, it is important to look at what happens within the classroom. Thus, the aim of this study is to explore gender within the mathematics classroom in Indonesia. More specifically, to explore how gender is constructed and to get the pupils' perspective on gender equality. The research questions examined are: How is gender constructed in Indonesian mathematics classrooms? How do Indonesian pupils experience gender equality within the mathematics classrooms? To answer our research questions, we observed four mathematics classrooms in an Islamic primary school in Indonesia. Furthermore, we handed out surveys to the pupils in order to get their perspective on gender equality. As a foundation for the analysis of these questions, we used the queer theory complemented with an interactionist view. According to the queer theory, gender is something that is constructed and all too often a dichotomy is used when discussing equality between the sexes. Thus, the intention of this study is to explore gender equality within mathematics by looking beyond this dichotomy. The results show that gender is being constructed both direct and indirect by the participants in the mathematics classrooms. Both teachers and pupils act and behave in a way that reinforces gender stereotypes. Although, when asked, the pupils thought that the teachers treated the sexes equally and that the mathematics classroom was gender equal. Furthermore, the pupils agree that the girls are best in mathematics. However, girls tended to have lower self-esteem than boys since they underestimated their knowledge to a greater extent.

Fed Policymakers Say No Recession Ahead, Downplay Concerns
AFP 2018 / BRENDAN SMIALOWSKIBusiness16:50 21.04.2018Get short URL212
Recent signals of a looming US recession don't matter much, the Federal Reserve says, as the current macroeconomic conditions are suggesting that across-the-board economic expansion will continue, while policy turmoil is stirring confusion in the financial markets.
Kristian Rouz — At least two influential Federal Reserve policymakers say there's no chance of a recession in the coming two years, adding that the robust pace of economic acceleration will continue in the near-to-medium-term. This comes despite the mounting concerns of the flattening yield curve, which market participants see as a sign of an economic downturn.
The discrepancy between the profitability of short-term and long-term US Treasury bonds has narrowed over the past several months, suggesting that the so-called yield curve might invert, eventually prompting investors to curb exposure to short-term investments — which constitutes the backbone of economic expansion.
READ MORE: Golden Shower: Why Countries Pull Out Their Bullion From the US
However, Fed Vice Chair for Supervision Randal Quarles says a recession will be avoided.
"I think the flattening of the yield curve we are seeing now is more a result of expected lags in the adjustment of the longer-term rates once shorter-term rates start to rise," Quarles said. "If that is what is driving things going forward I don't think it is as likely that the inversion of the yield curve is… sort of an indicator of a recession to come."
His remarks — made at the Bretton Woods conference earlier this week — suggest the Fed's portfolio cuts, coupled with the ongoing tightening of monetary policy conditions, have stirred extended uncertainty amongst investors of how to react to the tectonic shifts in overall US economic policy.
The Trump administration has taken major steps to ending the debt-driven demand-side model of economic growth, which has been dominant over the past three decades. While investors are still processing the information and adjusting to the rapidly changing policy environment, many of them prefer to be on the safe side of things, allocating capital into safe-haven assets, including longer-term bonds.
Despite the fact that an inverted yield curve was followed by a recession at least 17 times over the past several decades, this time it could be different, as this is the first time in US economic history when the economy is exiting a prolonged period of unconventional stimulus policies through radical policies.
These include a worrisome readjustment in foreign trade, massive tax cuts and infrastructure investment, as well as a pivot toward Main Street small-business expansion.
"I'm not viewing the current flattening of the yield curve as a particular signal towards a pending recession," Quarles said.
Charles Evans, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, echoed Quarles' remarks, saying a flatter yield curve isn't much a sign of anything at this point.
"The Yield curve is not nearly as much of a concern as I might have pointed to a couple of months ago," Evans said.
This comes after Fed policymakers said the economy is gaining momentum amid increased investment in the non-financial sector, as well as an overall higher activity in the Main Street economy. Financial tools at this point are gradually losing their prominence, as opposed to the model of economic growth of the past 10 years.
"A Flat yield curve tells me the bond market sees sluggish growth," Robert Kaplan, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas said.
This comes as many US private-sector enterprises are increasingly reluctant to raise capital through bond offerings, rather opting to rely on their improving operation revenues. Subsequently, bond markets are eyeing a lower influx of capital their way.
Back in March, the Federal Reserve said at its meeting in Washington the narrowing yield curve is nothing extraordinary, given the current circumstances and patterns of economic growth.
Policymakers "generally agreed that the current degree of flatness of the yield curve was not unusual by historical standards," according to the minutes from the Fed's March meeting.
While a recession in the broader economy is unlikely, bond markets — and, possibly stocks as well — might feel a bit of a squeeze in the coming two-years. This as US financial assets are generally viewed as overpriced, meaning less investors would be willing to enter the market.
