The Fed Is Heading Back To Zero
Mar 29th 2020
Posted by LCR Coin
As yields flash recession warnings, global economic slowdowns Deepen, equity markets are on the verge of historic corrections and it seems the Fed is headed back to 0% where do you park your assets to shelter the storm?
- Ex-Fed boss Greenspan says 'there is no barrier' to Treasury yields falling below zero
- Fed interest rate forecast: Wall Street sees return to near zero
Apparently for the foreseeable future there is no money in money. Is it time again for Tangible Assets?
What are Tangible Assets?
Tangible assets can typically always be transacted for some monetary value though the liquidity of different markets will vary. Tangible assets are the opposite of intangible assets which have a theorized value rather than a transactional exchange value.
Included in the list of Tangible Assets:
Rare Coins:
- Stability - Unlike stocks and other paper investments, rare coins will never be worthless. A rare coin's value is not correlated with precious metals prices, offering diversity not tied to your precious metals or equities portfolio.
- Privacy — We are not required to report your rare coin purchases or sales to the IRS or any government agency. This allows you to take your rare coin investments "off the grid". Rare coins are a fantastic means of passing on wealth to loved ones as legacy wealth.
- Portability — Rare coins represent a large amount of value in a small space and can potentially hold several hundred thousand if not millions of dollars' worth of rare coins.
- Profit — It is well known that a carefully chosen selection of rare coins based on rarity and population can show substantial appreciation over time. The supply and demand fundamentals are extraordinary.
- Affordability — Rare coins can be acquired for all budgets.
Gold as insurance is real money while dollars are paper backed by escalating debt. If all the warning signs above are happening, and they are, it is a safe bet you should have gold in your portfolio. In addition to rare coins we always recommend physical gold and we always recommend Gold Eagles produced by the United States Mint. There is no shortage of different bars and coins produced by private and sovereign mints but here we stick to the basics.
Many in the know with silver are aware of the enacted historical ratio between gold and silver.
Coinage Act of April 2, 1792 SEC. 11. "And be it further enacted, That the proportional value of gold to silver in all coins which shall by law be current as money within the United States, shall be as fifteen to one"
If this ratio was to align again with gold at or above $1500 silver would be $100. A huge profit potential if this were to occur. In addition, silver is or could become the everyday currency in a post dollar environment.
Just like gold, we always recommend physical silver and we always recommend Silver Eagles produced by the United States Mint. There is no shortage of different bars and coins produced by private and sovereign mints but here, like gold, we stick to the basics.


text: JANUARY 2017 (SUPPLEMENTAL ISSUE)CompetitionFTC and DOJ Issue Revised Antitrust Guidelines for International Enforcement and CooperationThe FTC and DOJ issued revised Antitrust Guidelines for International Enforcement and Cooperation. These guidelines update the 1995 Antitrust Enforcement Guidelines for International Operations. They provide guidance to businesses engaged in international activities on questions that concern the agencies' international enforcement policy, and provide expanded detail on the agencies' related investigative tools and cooperation with foreign authorities in a new chapter. The revisions describe the current practices and methods of analysis the agencies employ when determining whether to initiate and how to conduct investigations of, or enforcement actions against, conduct with an international dimension. For more details, click here.FTC and DOJ Issue Updated Antitrust Guidelines for the Licensing of IP The FTC and the DOJ issued updated Antitrust Guidelines for the Licensing of Intellectual Property that explain how the agencies evaluate licensing and related activities involving patents, copyrights, trade secrets, and know-how. This update modernizes the agencies' 1995 IP Licensing Guidelines, ensuring that they continue to play a fundamental role in the agencies' analysis of the licensing of intellectual property rights and provide guidance to the public and the business community about the agencies' enforcement approach to intellectual property licensing. The agencies announced the proposed update of the IP Licensing Guidelines and made it available for public comment in August 2016. As described in the August announcement, the update reflects intervening changes in statutory and case law, as well as relevant enforcement and policy work, including the agencies' 2010 Horizontal Merger Guidelines.FTC Charges Qualcomm with Monopolizing Key Semiconductor Device Used in Cell PhonesThe FTC filed a complaint in federal district court charging that Qualcomm Inc. violated the FTC Act through anticompetitive conduct aimed at maintaining its monopoly in the supply of a key semiconductor device used in cell phones and other consumer products. The complaint alleges that Qualcomm maintains a "no license, no chips" policy under which it will supply its baseband processors only on the condition that cell phone manufacturers agree to Qualcomm's preferred license terms, that it refuses to license standard-essential patents to competitors despite its prior commitment to do so, and that it extracted exclusivity from Apple in exchange for reduced patent royalties. The FTC alleges that by excluding competitors, Qualcomm impedes innovation that would offer significant consumer benefits, including those that foster the increased interconnectivity of consumer products, vehicles, buildings, and other items commonly referred to as the Internet of Things. For more details on the allegations, click here. The Commission vote to file the complaint was 2-1, with Commissioner Maureen K. Ohlhausen dissenting.Consumer Protection and PrivacyWestern Union Co. Admits Anti-Money Laundering Violations and Settles Charges Related to International Consumer Fraud Schemes, Forfeits $586 Million, Must Establish Comprehensive Anti-Fraud ProgramIn a case involving international consumer fraud schemes with vast numbers of transactions, Western Union Co. agreed to forfeit $586 million and enter into agreements with the FTC, the Justice Department, and several U.S. Attorneys' Offices. The company also must establish a comprehensive anti-fraud program. Western Union agreed to settle FTC charges set forth in a complaint filed today in federal district court.The FTC complaint charges that for many years, scammers around the world have used Western Union's money transfer system to defraud consumers even though the company has long been aware of the problem, and that some Western Union agents have been complicit in some frauds. "The agreements we are announcing today," said FTC Chairwoman Edith Ramirez, "will ensure Western Union changes the way it conducts its business and provides more than a half billion dollars for refunds to consumers who were harmed by the company's unlawful behavior." The anti-fraud program Western Union has agreed to implement includes agent training, monitoring to detect and prevent fraud-induced money transfers, due diligence on all new and renewing company agents, and suspension or termination of noncompliant agents. The FTC order prohibits Western Union from transmitting a money transfer that it knows or reasonably should know is fraud-induced, and requires it to block money transfers sent to any person who is the subject of a fraud report. For more details on these actions, click here. The FTC has also published blog posts related to this case for consumers and businesses.

The checks result from a July 2016 settlement that required Herbalife to pay $200 million and fundamentally restructure its business. This is one of the largest redress distributions the agency has made. The FTC also released Redress checks and compliance checks: Lessons from the FTC's Herbalife and Vemma cases, which provides multi-level marketing compliance guidance. More about the Herbalife redress program and consumer tips on what to look for when joining a multi-level marketing company are available on the FTC website.FTC Announces Crackdown on Two Massive Illegal Robocall OperationsThe FTC announced a crackdown on two massive robocall telemarketing operations that have been blasting robocalls to consumers on the National Do Not Call (DNC) Registry since at least 2012. Many of the defendants in the two cases, FTC v. Justin Ramsey, et al. and FTC v. Aaron Michael Jones, et al., have agreed to court orders that permanently ban them from making robocalls, making any calls to numbers listed on the Do Not Call Registry, violating the Telemarketing Sales Rule, and/or assisting others in doing so. The settling defendants also will pay the Commission a total of more than $500,000. The two ringleaders of the operations have previously been sued by state attorneys general for telemarketing violations, and the FTC's litigation against them continues. For more details, click here.FTC Chairwoman Edith Ramirez Issues Statement Following Adoption of the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield FrameworkFTC Chairwoman Edith Ramirez issued the following statement after the adoption of the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework:"I welcome the adoption of the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework. This new Framework strengthens privacy protections for Swiss consumers and, like the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework, facilitates continued transatlantic commerce. The FTC has a robust privacy enforcement program, both domestically and internationally, and we will continue our vigilant approach to enforcement of the new Framework."In Other NewsFTC Chairwoman Edith Ramirez Announces ResignationFTC Chairwoman Edith Ramirez announced her resignation, effective February 10. Ramirez became Chairwoman on March 4, 2013, and has served as an FTC Commissioner since April 5, 2010. Under her leadership, the FTC brought nearly 400 consumer protection law enforcement actions and approximately 100 enforcement actions challenging anticompetitive mergers and business conduct. These law enforcement actions secured billions of dollars in redress for harmed consumers, and stopped anticompetitive corporate mergers that would have caused price increases, compromised quality, or hurt innovation. For more details on her tenure, click here.FTC's 2016 Privacy and Security Update Now AvailableFTC staff has again assembled an update of the agency's privacy and security initiatives during the past year. The 2016 Privacy & Data Security Update includes summaries of the FTC's key cases, workshops, reports and education projects, and describes the FTC's role in these areas. Areas covered include general privacy matters, spam, data security, financial privacy and credit reporting, children's privacy, do-not-call, and the FTC's international activities. An 18-page pdf version of the update is available on the FTC's website.FTC to Host March 9 FinTech Forum on Artificial Intelligence and BlockchainThe FTC will host its third FinTech Forum on March 9, focusing on the consumer implications of artificial intelligence and blockchain. Artificial intelligence focuses on the capability for machines to mimic human thinking and may be used is to provide personalized financial services for consumers. Blockchain technology involves a distributed digital ledger for recording transactions that can be shared widely. It first emerged as the foundation for digital currency, and it is now being explored for other consumer-focused uses, including payment systems and "smart contracts." For more details on the half-day event, click here.FTC Publishes Inflation-Adjusted Civil Penalty AmountsAs required by law, the FTC has adjusted the maximum civil penalty dollar amounts for violations of 16 laws the FTC enforces. The new maximum civil penalty amounts are effective on publication in the Federal Register. The maximum civil penalty amount has increased from $40,000 to $40,654 for violations of Sections 5(l) and 5(m)(1)(A) and (B) of the FTC Act, Section 7A(g)(l) of the Clayton Act and Section 525(b) of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act. The maximum civil penalty amount has increased from $1,138,330 to $1,156,953 for violations of Section 814(a) of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. The maximum civil penalty amounts for other law violations are in the Federal Register notice here.

James (Jim) Kittoe
Nov 23
James (Jim) Kittoe went to be with his Heavenly Father on November 20, 2018. He was born on December 24, 1939, to Norman and Martha Kittoe in Chicago, Illinois; however, he considered Seymour, Texas, his hometown where he was raised by his parents.
Jim graduated from Robstown High School in 1958 and soon after went to work in the oilfield. He had a long, successful career in the oilfield that began with American Smelting, Storm Drilling, and Shell Offshore where he retired after 32 years of service as a Senior Mechanical Technician working on some of the largest drilling and production platforms in the Gulf of Mexico.
He met his loving wife Erna in July 1972, and they were married in Langtry, Texas, on the steps of Judge Roy Bean's court in 1979. This was a proud moment in Jim's life. Jim and Erna were married for 39 years and were best friends.
Jim is preceded in death by his parents, Norman and Martha Kittoe, his father and mother- in-law Hugo and Wanda Wolter, his brothers- in-law Hugo Alfred Wolter and Wilman Robert Wolter.
He is survived by his loving wife, Erna Kittoe and his godchildren Rocky Lee (Erica) Lorenz of Prosper, Texas, Daniel Lorenz of Spring, Texas, William (Briana) Lorenz of Pleasanton, Texas, Dylan Lorenz of Conroe, Texas, John Wehman of Portland, Texas, Cameron Calvo of Austin, Texas, and Collin Calvo of Austin, Texas.
Jim had a love for animals, horses, the Professional Bull Riders Association, racecars, and hot rods. Jim was referred to by his wife as "her MacGyver." Everyone who knew Jim knew that he was a jack of all trades from mechanical to electrical to setting up the latest and greatest electronics at his home or shop. Jim spent many hours "mechanic-ing" and tinkering in his shop at his residence outside of Banquete, Texas, where he had an arsenal of tools and gadgets to solve most any problem. He could fix just about anything.
Those who knew Jim knew his love of Joe Cotten's BBQ, where he spent many Friday evenings with his wife grabbing dinner and catching up on local news with the staff at Cotten's who, after many years of interaction, were great friends of Jim and Erna. Joe and Cecil Cotten knew when Jim was at the restaurant they would have to get a new tablecloth ready because Jim always used his own pocketknife and it typically cut through the butcher paper dinner was served on.
Pallbearers will be Rocky Lee Lorenz, Daniel Lorenz, William Lorenz, Dylan Lorenz, John Wehman, and Cecil Cotten.
Honorary Pallbearers will be Larry Custer, Ronnie McNeill, Bill Wehman, Tony Hill, Bobby Gallagher, Vic Gillespie, Jimmy Daniels, Jimmy Smith, Cameron Calvo, and Collin Calvo.
Visitation will be Sunday, November 25, 2018 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Sawyer- George Funeral Home.
Funeral services will be conducted on Monday at 10 a.m. November 26, 2018 at the Sawyer- George Funeral Home Chapel with Reverend Jeffery Thompson of Buda, Texas officiating.
Burial to follow at Robstown Memorial Park.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations to St. John Lutheran Church or a charity of your choice in honor of Jim.
Leslie H. Owen
Nov 19
Leslie H. Owen of Corpus Christi, Texas, went to reside with his savior on November 16, 2018 after a prolonged illness.
Throughout his life, Mr. Les, as he was known to friends, lived by a code that included loyalty and service to God; his family; and his country and community. A good and faithful servant, he upheld those values most conducive to the American way of life. Though accomplished in many ways, he never boasted. He always tried to see the best in others. Even after his loss of speech, his brilliant smile, lively eyes, and warm hugs communicated his desire to love and encourage all around him.
Leslie's early years fostered the diversity he would carry into his later life. Born in 1925 to Hector and Gertrude Owen, he lived his early life in DeKalb, Texas, a farming community outside Texarkana. As a boy, Leslie rode a Shetland pony to school. Later, in his teen years, he retired the horse and began running to and from school. He lettered in football, as well as playing trumpet and trombone in the band. He also sang in a bluegrass gospel choir in his spare time. In 1943, at high school graduation, Les was selected for the Navy. He spent the next two years aboard the U.S.S. Tatum, a two-star destroyer escort which survived attack in the South Pacific Theater.
After returning from WWII, Leslie resumed civilian life as a young man in Aransas Pass. He went to work in the warehouse of Commercial Motors where he met his true love Theresia Le Blanc. They were married in 1952 and maintained a devoted union for nearly 66 years.
Leslie and Theresia have three daughters: Sandra (Jim) Dudley of Corpus Christi, TX, Liz (James) Patterson of Pflugerville, TX; and Pam (Sanford) Tirado of Anthem, AZ. His wife and daughters survive him, along with 6 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.
As he matured, Leslie faced the challenges of cancer and heart disease, but he continued to work steadfastly for both Sinclair and Citgo Refineries. At Citgo he meticulously supervised two warehouses for 35 years, retiring with both safety awards and the respect of his co-workers.
At the core of Leslie's life was his belief system and church affiliation. As a member of Parkdale Baptist Church, he taught 4th grade boys and became the director of Adult Bible Study. He served in the Parkdale Pantry to support the community. In Jamaica, he helped set up summer time Vacation Bible School. In later years, when he moved his membership to Second Baptist Church, he served on the Personnel Committee. For several years he faithfully attended the adult Sunday School there.
Les also enjoyed various hobbies and activities through life. He managed an industrial league baseball team, bowled, jogged, fished; and played tennis and golf. When he could no longer swing a club, he could be found in his lounge chair watching his favorite sport on television. In addition, Les was a talented wood worker, building projects without benefit of patterns. He also enjoyed constructing model ships and airplanes. Further, Les was a lifetime member of the Oso Masonic Lodge, and served as its secretary for 25 years. As he always felt it was a privilege to serve his country, after retirement he volunteered on the U.S.S. Lexington, greeting and guiding visitors. He donated his WWII naval uniform to her museum. He loved airplanes, especially the Blue Angels, and could often be seen gazing at them, even if it interrupted a round of golf!
As he grew older, Les and his wife moved from family camping trips on the Frio River to an exploration of the whole United States, his beautiful country. These trips frequently included relatives Buddy and Billie Cavitt. Upon Buddy's passing, Les's sister-in-law Billie continued to travel with the couple on the road trips and cruises. Les considered her a true sister of the heart, and their visits and conversations enriched his life.
To know Leslie Owen was to know a man who quietly stood in the background showing competence and steadfastness as he pushed others forward and upward; a man of integrity and forgiveness. Beloved by the youngest family members who called him Grandpa Gigi, to the oldest who knew him as Daddy, he will be missed, but none of us will forget the joy that comprised the life of Leslie Owen, our rock and our anchor.
The family would like to thank Dr. Breeling and the other doctors and nurses in attendance during the final days at Doctor's Regional Hospital; Dr. Cathy Cole-Perez; Dr. Robert May, Jr.; Dr. Alfonso Villamil, and Zakaria Saleem. The home hospice care, especially that of Cynthia, Madonna, and Dora, is also much appreciated. We would also like to acknowledge the love and care of friends and neighbors, which means so much.
A military funeral will be held December 3, 2018 at 11:00 at the Veteran's Memorial Cemetery in Calallen. A memorial service will follow after the first of the year, at the Second Baptist Church.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to one's choice of charity.
Betty Sue Rosas
Nov 19
Betty Sue Rosas, passed away on November 17, 2018, at the age of 81. She was a homemaker and enjoyed spending time outside doing her gardening. Betty was a devoted mother and loved spending quality time with her family and many friends.
Betty is preceded in death by her husband, Gilberto Rosas; her sons, Gilberto Jr., Rolando and Alexander Rosas; her parents, three brothers and one sister.
Betty is survived by her children, Norma Gonzales (Benito), Esmeralda McElhaney (Brian), Gilberto Rosas, Diana Matula (Thomas), Eddie Rosas (Jennifer); fourteen grandchildren; many great grandchildren and her sister, Lydia Trevino.
So many thanks to Betty's in-laws who came by or called daily to check on her health and to see if the family was in need of anything. Also, the family would like to extend their sincerest gratitude to Betty's providers and caregivers from OPUS Hospice for their kindness and service during her illness.
Visitation will be from Noon to 1 P.M., Wednesday, November 21, 2018 with a rosary being recited at 1 P.M. at Sawyer-George Funeral Home Chapel.
Funeral Mass will celebrated at 2 P.M. Wednesday, November 21, 2018 at St. Peter, Prince of the Apostle Catholic Church on Violet Road.
Burial will follow at Memorial Park Cemetery in Robstown.
Pallbearers will be Gilberto and Eddie Rosas, Betty Sue Gonzales, Roger and Marvin Parker, James McElhaney and Joel Rosas.

Those of us who wanted to enjoy more power and a more aggressive feeling from the Fiat 124 Spider looked to the Abarth trim to have what we were looking for. Unfortunately, previous models of this car in the Abarth trim felt a bit like a letdown because of the lack of added power and growl from the car. While the Abarth trim of the Fiat 124 Spider was created to give us a sportier suspension and a drive that's more fun, it was lacking a bit of what we wanted in this version of the car.
The Abarth Upgrades for 2019
One of the most impressive, and important, upgrades to the Fiat 124 Spider Abarth for the 2019 model year is an improved exhaust. This new exhaust is the Record Monza version which allows the car to have a more aggressive sound. This system is made of stainless steel and is made to pay tribute to the record speeds achieved by Carlo Abarth at the Monza racetrack in the 1950s. The car he used for these speeds was a modified Fiat Abarth 750 which had quad tips and a valve that maximized the exhaust flow.
Even though the Abarth model of the 124 Spider only makes ten horsepower more than the standard version, you can have more than just an improved exhaust for the new model year. There's a new Veleno appearance package that offers you red exterior mirror caps, a red lower fascia lip, and a red front tow hook. The name Veleno is Italian for "poison" and the scorpion symbol is in place with this package of treatments. The inside of the car has carpeted floor mats and a bright footrest that highlights the signature Abarth racing heritage of this car. A new stripe package is also offered for the car to give you an amazing look you can certainly admire.
The Same Powertrain for the 124 Spider Abarth
While the exhaust and appearance trims are upgraded for the 2019 model year, the Fiat 124 Spider Abarth is the same mechanically as it was in the past. This means you'll have a 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes 170 horsepower which is pushed to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. A six-speed automatic transmission is also available to give you a car you don't have to shift on your own.
Affordable Italian Luxury Sportiness from Fiat
The Fiat name is one that occupies a special place in automotive history and right now, the Fiat 124 Spider is the only sports car offered that reminds us that Fiat has a right racing heritage. Thankfully, you can have the standard model of this car for less than $25,000 and if you choose the Abarth trim, you'll still have a price that's comes in below $30,000. This is a car that can be a lot of fun for you to drive and enjoy on the roads and even one that you might want to take to the track to let it loose.
Looking for something slightly different? Opt for the Fiat 500L.

Did you know that it is normal to lose up to 100 hairs per day? Excessive hair loss (called alopecia) affects men, women and children. More than 60% of all men and 40% of all women will experience a hair loss condition within their lifetime.
Medical Services
There are many types of hair loss including female and male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia), autoimmune hair loss (alopecia areata) and even hair loss that is caused by nutritional deficiencies and pulling the hair too tight (traction alopecia). Making the correct diagnosis and planning the treatment is the first step to regaining your hair and your confidence. Treatment may include vitamin supplements, lotions or foams, tablets and even surgical procedures.
The key is treating hair loss as early as possible and knowing that you don't have to spend thousands of dollars on fancy lights, lasers and "packages." Chroma Dermatology can provide cost-effective and safe treatments that will help to stop progressive hair loss and even help regrow and thicken hair.
The first step is to consult with a dermatologist about your diagnosis and what can be done for your type of hair loss.

The Knockout Queen: A novel (Hardcover)
Coming Soon; PRE-ORDER NOW!
A dazzling and darkly comic novel of love, violence, and friendship in the California suburbs
Bunny Lampert is the princess of North Shore—beautiful, tall, blond, with a rich real-estate-developer father and a swimming pool in her backyard. Michael—with a ponytail down his back and a septum piercing—lives with his aunt in the cramped stucco cottage next door. When Bunny catches Michael smoking in her yard, he discovers that her life is not as perfect as it seems. At six foot three, Bunny towers over their classmates. Even as she dreams of standing out and competing in the Olympics, she is desperate to fit in, to seem normal, and to get a boyfriend, all while hiding her father's escalating alcoholism. Michael has secrets of his own. At home and at school Michael pretends to be straight, but at night he tries to understand himself by meeting men online for anonymous encounters that both thrill and scare him. When Michael falls in love for the first time, a vicious strain of gossip circulates and a terrible, brutal act becomes the defining feature of both his and Bunny's futures—and of their friendship. With storytelling as intoxicating as it is intelligent, Rufi Thorpe has created a tragic and unflinching portrait of identity, a fascinating examination of our struggles to exist in our bodies, and an excruciatingly beautiful story of two humans aching for connection.
About the Author
RUFI THORPE received her MFA from the University of Virginia in 2009. She is the author of Dear Fang, with Love and The Girls from Corona del Mar, which was long listed for the 2014 International Dylan Thomas Prize and for the 2014 Flaherty-Dunnan First Novel Prize. A native of California, she currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband and sons.
Praise For…
An Entertainment Weekly and LitHub Most Anticipated Book of 2020
"Thorpe… writes with savage poignancy as she explores identity, adolescent friendship, and the insatiable longing for intimacy. Her novel is devastatingly honest, her characters vulnerable, and her readers will be spellbound."
"Thorpe's fierce third novel observes the development of and challenges to an intense friendship between two outcasts at a Southern California high school… Deeply realized and complex. The result cannily dissects the power and limits of adolescent friendship."
—Publishers Weekly
"Thorpe takes a familiar plotline—a pair of teen misfits form an unlikely but life-altering friendship—and turns it into an arrestingly original, darkly comic meditation on moral ambiguity.... There are no victims here and no heroes, either. In Thorpe's Technicolor world, everyone is an innocent and everyone is culpable and no one is absolved, and the result is a novel both nauseatingly brutal and radically kind. Brilliantly off-kilter and vibrating with life."
—Kirkus, starred
"I loved The Knockout Queen. A blistering, brilliant look at friendship and violence, suburbia and class, all told by one of the most observant, engaging narrators I've read in a very long time. This book is going to stay with me."
—Grant Ginder, author of Honestly, We Meant Well and The People We Hate at the Wedding
"Rufi Thorpe writes with a savage, clear-eyed calm that is frighteningly good. The Knockout Queen unsettled me in the most delicious way with its complex and satisfying relationships and meditation on violence, beauty, and privilege. Read it!!"
—Jade Chang, author of The Wangs vs. the World
"Is it cheesy to say The Knockout Queen knocked me off my feet? I couldn't put it down, and when I had to, I did so only reluctantly, shakily. With unrelenting humor and terrifying intelligence, Rufi Thorpe tells the story of an unlikely high school friendship—the kind of friendship from which you never recover—with intensity and attentiveness. This captivating, generous book is a moving examination on human motivation, darkness, and love—calling attention to the ways we can be deeply different, and yet so much the same."
—Rachel Khong, author of Goodbye, Vitamin
"Fearless, tender, and savagely alive, The Knockout Queen is unlike anything you'll read this year. Rufi Thorpe's third novel is about unruly thoughts and unruly bodies, about violence and love, about doing the wrong thing for the right reasons and the drag of human being. You won't be able to look away. You might even recognize yourself."
—Chloe Benjamin, best-selling author of The Immortalists
"The Knockout Queen is an intense, unflinching examination of friendship, the threads that connect us in such strange ways. Rufi Thorpe navigates this difficult terrain thanks to a masterful use of detail and a wonderfully dark sense of humor that lands at just the right moment. Michael and Bunny are two of the most unique characters I've ever met, drawn with such precision that it's impossible to leave them behind. This is a hypnotic, beautiful novel, and Rufi Thorpe is an unbelievably unique talent."
—Kevin Wilson, best-selling author of Nothing to See Here
"The Knockout Queen is the best book I've read in months! Its one-of-a-kind narrator is funny, vulnerable, brilliant, and brimming with longing, and the story he tells distills the pain and beauty of a life-changing friendship like nothing else I've read before. This book's got guts and heart, and wisdom for days, and I could not put it down. Rufi Thorpe is one of the most exciting novelists working today. This novel is truly exceptional. I loved it."
—Edan Lepucki, best-selling author of California and Woman No. 17
"Brilliantly constructed and beautifully told, threaded with heartbreak, honesty and hope, The Knockout Queen is a sublime coming of age story and Rufi Thorpe is a national treasure."
—Cynthia Sweeney, best-selling author of The Nest

Challenge #1: Write a story featuring or inspired by the usernames of one or more of your fellow FFM 2014 participants. I chose IntelligentZombie.
"If you thought it was alright to be a zombie..." Bruce pumped his shotgun for emphasis, "you were dead wrong."
"Aaah!" yelled the zombie. "Not the face! Not the face!"
Bruce jumped in surprise, accidentally pulling the trigger, but only after he had also made an ungainly flailing motion with the shotgun. The result was that he not only missed the zombie, but the recoil caught him completely by surprise, prompting further flailing. All in all, it didn't really fit with the badass action hero persona he had been trying to cultivate since the start of the zombie apocalypse.
"Stop! I'm not a zombie!"
Whether or not this was true, the slightly-rotten figure in front of Bruce was cowering, and since he had already ticked "shoot first" off his mental list, this seemed like a good time to start asking questions. "What are you, then?"
"Would you believe that I'm a guy with really, really bad eczema?"
Bruce looked him up and down. There was a worm poking out of his forehead, waving around comically. "No."
"Elaborate Halloween costume?"
"Undercover secret agent trying to bust a zombie crime ring?"
Bruce pumped the shotgun again.
"Okay okay!" The zombie put his hands up. Or rather, one hand and a decomposing forearm. "I may have exaggerated my non-zombie qualities. Strictly speaking, that is to say, one way of looking at it would be that—that's a great shirt you're wearing, by the way—I am actually a zombie. Kind of."
"What does 'kind of' mean, exactly?"
"It means I am, you know, a member of the zombie community, but I'm not a braindead monster. I'm an intelligent zombie."
"That sounds really dangerous."
"Wait wait wait!" The zombie waved his hand in a "seriously, please don't shoot my face off" kind of way. "I can help you! I know how the zombie apocalypse started."
"How?" Bruce wasn't sure if this was something he actually needed to hear, or if it was just a ploy to delay the face-shooting.
"I may have kind of slightly—seriously, love the shirt—maybe started the whole thing. Please don't get mad!"
Bruce honestly wasn't mad. For one thing, if what the zombie said was true, it could be extremely important. For another, Bruce was kind of enjoying the zombie apocalypse. It had explosions and witty one-liners. "How?" he asked again.
"Alright. You know the Necronomicon?"
"Well, I got hold of a copy, right?"
"And I covered it with foil..."
"And I put it in the microwave."
"Alright." Bruce took a moment to process this. "Why, exactly?"
"Look, I said I was an intelligent zombie. I didn't say I was intelligent before I became a zombie."
"So what do you do now that you're an intelligent zombie?"
"I read," the zombie shrugged. "I paint...pretty much anything to get the slime-like brain juices flowing, really. I've got a lovely collection of pressed flowers if you'd like to see."
"You're in the middle of a zombie apocalypse and you're pressing flowers?" Bruce gave him a look. "That's stupid."
"Hey, I'll have you know that zombie apocalypses leave you with a lot of time to fill when you're undead. And pressing flowers is nowhere near as stupid as letting a gang of zombies sneak up on you."
"Wait, what?" Bruce turned. Sure enough, a big group of shamblers was making its way slowly down the hallway towards him. "Oh no. Oh no no no." They were on the third floor, and the mass of zombies had already blocked off the only route to the stairs. Rushing forwards to a fire door in the middle of the hall—the closest thing to a choke point there was—Bruce started firing at the crowd.
Click click click.
He really wished he'd had more than four shells.
The intelligent zombie stepped forward. "May I?"
Putting a hand out to stop the first zombie that reached the narrow doorway, he waited until the second was also trying to get through. He pushed back against these two zombies until those behind them had begun to pile up in the doorway. The intelligent zombie slowly stepped away, leaving a big pile of less than intelligent zombies all trying—and failing—to get through the door at once.
The intelligent zombie smiled, though it looked pretty messed up because he had no lips. "I got the idea from The Three Stooges."
"Wow," said Bruce, genuinely impressed. "That is intelligent."
"Sure is." The intelligent zombie sank its teeth into Bruce's scalp. "More brains for me!"

A Doctor Decodes Metastatic Cancer: Diagnosis & Treatment Options
(Actor Sonali Bendre recently revealed that she is suffering from a high-grade cancer that has metastasised. Here's a doctor explaining what exactly is metastatic cancer.)
According to the World Health Organisation, lung, prostate, colorectal, stomach and liver cancer are the most common types of cancer in men, while breast, colorectal, lung, cervix and stomach cancer are the most common among women.
However apart from these there are also certain types of cancer which are not much known to people.
Signs & Symptoms of Metastatic Cancer
While metastatic cancer cannot be easily diagnosed, there are certain signs and symptoms that can help recognise the disease such as:
- Difficulty in walking and sudden fractures (bone metastasis)
- Headaches
- Dizziness, seizures
- Even visual problems (brain metastasis)
- Shortness of breath (lung metastasis) &
- Random swelling in the belly or diseases like jaundice (liver metastasis)
The symptoms largely depend on the size and location of the metastatic tumour.
Possible Cure for Metastatic Cancer
The treatment for metastatic cancer is often different from the ones used for a normal tumour. Metastatic cancer is difficult to control once it spreads and treatment depends on the original site of cancer, how much it has spread, the patient's age and medical history.
Tumour markers can be picked up by a blood test called liquid biopsy and can indicate the type of metastatic cancer like Ca 125, Ca 19.9, CEA, Beta HCG, alpha feto protein, circulating tumour cells CTCs and especially lung cancer.
There are variety of treatment for metastatic cancer, the most important being chemotherapy, radiation, surgery and immunotherapy.
The primary benefit of chemotherapy is response time and it works very well for metastatic breast cancer. Chemotherapy shrinks tumours faster than hormone therapy. If the first chemotherapy drug stops working with hormone therapies, and the cancer begins to grow again, a second or third drug can be used.
Radiation is an important treatment to control and sometimes cure brain metastases as it can disrupt the blood-brain barrier to facilitate drugs to penetrate the brain tumours. Radiation can shrink and help control specific spots where the cancer has spread.
The radiation dose and schedule for metastases depends on a number of factors such as the urgency of the situation, frequency of radiation and scheduled other ongoing treatments if any.
Surgery is generally advised to be conducted among patients suffering from spinal cord compression caused by metastatic cancer.
Patients with metastatic spinal cord compression can be treated with direct decompressive surgery along with post-operative radiotherapy to retain and regain the ability to walk longer as compared to patients treated with just radiotherapy.
Post decades of research on solid tumour immunology, immunotherapy has shown effectiveness in patients with metastatic solid cancers.
With this approach, tumour regression is now being reported for cancers, but success remains constrained by the identification of antigens expressed with high specificity by cancer cells and not by normal tissues.

By Angus Brown | Source: NLRS, ABS
The rain in NSW and parts of Victoria this week has all but locked in a bumper spring for grass growth across much of Eastern Australia's sheep growing areas. With plenty of grass comes decisions for lamb producers. Should they sell their lambs at trade weights or use the extra grass to grow lambs out. As usual, history is our best guide to how lamb weights and prices might track this year.
The theory goes that lamb producers with 20kg cwt sucker lambs, and plenty of grass, are likely to wean the lambs and grow them out to export weights. Sounds fair enough, but when will the heavier lambs show up? Will they be sold later in the spring than usual, or will they be held over until the New Year?
In 2010 the winter and spring was wet, and the impact on lamb supply was not really as we would expect. Lamb supply followed its usual trend, of rising in the spring and peaking in November (figure 1). The most interesting impact was the very weak supply the first half of 2011, as the good spring and subsequent summer rainfall saw producers hold onto lambs for flock rebuilding.
Lamb carcase weights were low in the spring of 2010, and the lambs that were supplied in early 2011 were higher than in 2010, and much closer to the five year average carcase weight, despite being in short in numbers.
The impact of the wet spring in 2010 on price was marked. Figure 3 shows that while prices fell in spring, it was not by much. The Eastern States Trade Lamb Indicator (ESTLI) then went on to record a record rally, and record prices in the autumn on the back of tight supply. The flock rebuild certainly tightened supply enough to ensure heavier carcase weights had little impact on price.
The trends of 2011 and 2012 might also have some lessons for this year. In 2011 a reasonable spring, cheap grain and the expectation of new season price rises saw many lambs held through the back end of 2011, supporting prices. In early 2012 we saw the impact of the lambs which were held, with more, and heavier lambs hitting the market, seeing prices ease rather than rise.
While looking back at 2010 and 2011 doesn't really give any clearer idea of how supply might react this year, it does give some pointers to what to look for. If we see supply follow the normal trend in spring, peaking in November and subsequently pushing prices lower, we can expect supply to tighten in the New Year. A good wet season in northern NSW will exacerbate supply tightening, and add price support.
If supply is weaker, and weights lighter, than last year in the spring prices will track sideways, or just slightly lower, it's a good indication that lambs are being held to heavier weights. This suggests that prices are unlikely to appreciate in the New Year.

Part A: General Topics - 22. General Offenses and Penalties | 22.1 General Provisions on Offenses and Penalties
A mining law should seek to define general offenses that apply to all mining rights and the legal consequences imposed, in addition to ones unique to specific mining rights. A mining law may also incorporate references to appropriate offenses and legal consequences as enumerated under other national laws such as criminal, fraud, labour etc. Penalties need to be commensurate with the type and gravity of the offence, as well as correlated with different applicable sanctions. If appropriate, the law should primarily provide for administrative sanctions or fines, which are generally easier to impose/execute than criminal sanctions.Some countries like Uganda provide for a general penalties law that specifies the fines to be paid in "currency points" or "currency units". This is to accommodate currency fluctuations and regulate severity of the fines without modification of the mining law.
22.1 Example 1:
Article [_]
(1) No person may explore or prospect for, or retain or mine or dispose of any mineral in [Country] except under, and in accordance with, a licence issued under this [Act][Code][Law].
(2) Any person who contravenes subsection (1) of this section commits an offence and is liable on conviction –
(a) in the case of an individual, to a fine not exceeding twenty-five currency points, or imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year or both; and
(b) In the case of a body corporate, to a fine not exceeding fifty currency points.
(3) Where a person is convicted of an offence under subsection (2) of this section, the court before which such person is convicted may –
(a) Order the forfeiture of all minerals unlawfully obtained by such person;
(b) And in the event that the minerals cannot for any reason be forfeited, order the forfeiture of such sums of money as the court shall assess as the reasonable value of the minerals; and any minerals or their value so forfeited shall become the property of the Government and shall be disposed of as the [Regulating Authority] may direct.
Drawn from Uganda's mining law (2003), the provision includes a difference of the severity of the fines between individuals and corporations. This is based on the alleged different capacity to bear a fine but more specifically as a disincentivizing measure.
The example also establishes a procedure that involves courts for its execution. In African countries with civil law systems, fines may be treated as an administrative punishment, and thus be decided and enforced by administrative entities without need for judges, who would in any case be able to control the legality and constitutionality of government actions.
22.1 Example 2:
Article [_]
(1) Any person who contravenes chapters 4, 5, 6, and 7 of this [Law][Act][Code] hereof shall be guilty of an offense and shall be liable upon conviction in a court of law.
a. In this case of an individual, to a fine not exceeding Two Thousand United States Dollars (USD$2,000:00) or its equivalent in Liberian Dollars or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding twenty –four (24) months or to both such fine and imprisonment and
b. In the case of any other Persons to a fine not exceeding twenty-five thousand United States Dollars (USD$25,000:00) or its equivalent in Liberian Dollars.
(2) The court before whom a Person is convicted under Section [_] hereof may order the forfeiture of all Minerals obtained by such Person or if such Minerals cannot be located of such sum of money as may represent the value of such minerals. Any mineral so confiscated shall be sold or otherwise disposed of as the Court may direct and the proceeds of such sales shall be paid into the Mineral Development Fund.
Drawn from Liberia's mining law (2000), this provision focuses on violations of the code with criminal law implications. Depending on the harm caused by the offense, governments can consider using criminal law penalties. However, officers must know that the enforcement of criminal penalties requires a higher legal standard of evidence, which makes them more difficult to be successfully applied. The criminal procedure is usually regulated in a specific procedural code.
In all cases, including the previous example, the forfeiture of the mineral extracted as the result of a legal violation is part of the penalty or a mechanism to enforce the economic penalties.

At the end of the fight, Blackbeard had been stabbed twenty times and suffered at least five gunshot wounds, before bleeding to death while trying to reload his pistol to keep the party going. Maynard then cut Blackbeard's head off and hung it from the bow of his sloop, partly for effect but mostly because he needed the head to collect his reward. He was paid 100 pounds for his trouble, the modern equivalent of about $18,000 or a 2006 Buick Rainier.

Selecting the Right Technology Strategy
New technologies can benefit an organization by disrupting traditional processes, creating efficiencies, and therefore leading to competitive advantages. Technology experts forecast technology shifts that disrupt organizations, industries, and sectors in order to determine whether an organization should adopt a new technology.
However, the timing of implementation continues to be a challenge for most organizations. The challenge lies in being too late to the party or too early. For example, in 2000, the founder of Netflix, approached Blockbuster's CEO with a proposal for partnership, in which Netflix would run Blockbuster's brand online while Blockbuster would promote Netflix in stores. Blockbuster's CEO laughed at the idea and Netflix went on to dominate the online video rental industry, leading to Blockbuster's bankruptcy in 2010. In this case, Blockbuster failed to recognize the emergence of new technology which would disrupt what had been traditionally a very profitable business model.
Now let's look an example of a company that was ahead of its time. In 1999, Napster was founded as an independent peer-peer files sharing service. Napster specialized in sharing MP3 files of music through a user-friendly interface. It became widely popular with college students sharing songs from their dorm rooms for free. However, Napster was sued by the music industry for copyright infringement and ultimately was shut down by the courts in 2001. In 2003, Apple launched its iTunes Music service in cooperation with record labels and consisting of digital rights management, which was an evolution of Napster's idea. In this case, Napster failed to consider how the use of this new technology would impact the music industry and business models. Technology adoption and implementation timing can have a profound impact on the success or failure of an organization.
Another key factor to consider when adopting new technologies is whether the technology utilizes existing ecosystems or emerging ecosystems. For example, when Voice over IP (VoIP) technology was emerging in the 1990s, the adoption of the technology made sense for most organizations given that the new technology would use existing data networks to transmit voice, thus cutting costs and enabling integrations with applications. Similarly, when virtualization technology emerged in the 2000s, its adoption also made sense for most organizations, given that the new technology could operate on the same on-premise hardware infrastructure, but would provide more efficiencies and consolidation, thus reducing costs.
By the mid 2000s, "Cloud Computing" which is on-demand delivery of resources by a cloud services provider, started to emerge. However, for VoIP and virtualization technologies to be successful in the "Cloud", a new ecosystem would have to be created in order for the adoption of the new technology to be feasible. The emerging ecosystem would have to provide satisfactory performance, which depended on reliable internet connectivity with sufficient bandwidth to transmit data or voice across the internet without latency. It also had to do so securely. Therefore, the adoption of Cloud Computing technologies depended on a foundational ecosystem to be developed in order for the concept to be adopted and therefore successful. The consideration of existing versus emerging ecosystems is critical in determining the timing of new technology implementation.
