U.S. President Donald Trump suggested Monday Saudi Arabia may not be behind the disappearance of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
The search represents new co-operation between Turkey, which says it fears Khashoggi was killed and dismembered there, and Saudi Arabia, which maintains the allegations it faces are "baseless" despite being unable to explain what happened to Khashoggi. He didn't really know, maybe, I don't want to get into his mind but it sounded to me like maybe it could have been rogue killers, who knows?
Actor Gerard Butler said on Monday he canceled an upcoming trip to Saudi Arabia to promote a new film because it felt like an "incredibly insensitive" time to visit amid activist Jamal Khashoggi's disappearance.
Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), which hosts the conference, has tentatively committed $20 billion to an infrastructure investment planned with Blackstone Group.
In Istanbul, meanwhile, investigators entered the consulate for their own investigation.
The Saudi government has repeatedly denied any involvement in the journalist's disappearance and in a statement Sunday warned that "if it receives any action, it will respond with greater action".
Razer Phone 2 price, release date and where to buy
There were very few surprises in store for the Pixel 3, which is now Google's most expensive phone ever, starting at $799. The new phone will also continue to have industry-leading features such as its 120hz display .
Martin Beck, a Professor at the Center for Contemporary Middle East Studies at the University of Southern Denmark, told DW that Saudi Arabia could strike back at possible United States sanctions by cutting down on its oil production.
Where is Jamal Khashoggi?... He said any response to Khashoggi's killing "needs to be strong, not symbolic", including the possibility of cutting off US weapons sales to Riyadh, or it would undermine the USA moral standing in the world. Certain areas of the consulate were to remain off-limits, although officials would be able to inspect surveillance cameras within the post, Turkish media reported.
In the past days, a slew of business leaders announced they would not attend the second Future Investment Initiative.
The chief executive of JPMorgan Chase & Co., Jamie Dimon, had been a featured speaker at the conference in Riyadh.
The Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter, said the kingdom is weighing whether to say that rogue operatives killed Khashoggi by mistake during an interrogation. Benchmark Brent crude is trading at around $80 a barrel, and Trump has criticized OPEC and Saudi Arabia over rising prices. Khalaf Ahmad Al-Habtoor, an influential United Arab Emirates tycoon, called for an Arab boycott of all USA firms who have withdrawn from the conference.
The comments marked a break from the Trump administration's strenuous refusal to speculate over what happened to Khashoggi and came as the USA president is under growing pressure to take action on the case of the Saudi writer, who was a contributor to The Washington Post and wrote columns critical of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

West Virginia – this state, though part of the group "South Atlantic States", but has no access to the ocean. West Virginia is home to less than two million people. The administrative center of the state and at the same time the largest settlement is Charleston.
Among other States, West Virginia in the fourth ten – 38th place in population and 41st in area. Due to the terrain features, West Virginia was called the "Mountain State" – more than half of the territory is occupied by the Appalachian plateau. The state could also be called "Forest", as 4/5 of the territory of West Virginia is covered with forests.
In 1776, residents of the Western part of Virginia decided to separate because they supported the northerners, and the people who lived in the Eastern part of the state – the southerners. However, the Constitution of West Virginia was adopted only almost a hundred years later – in the 60s of the XIX century.
The predominance of mountains and forests played a role in the development of the state's tourism infrastructure. West Virginia has a number of natural parks with recreational areas where travelers can go Hiking, mountaineering, caving, fishing, and river rafting. In winter, snowboarders and skiers come here. Popular places – the mountains of blue ridge, with rivers Shenandoah and Potomac, and the Monongahela, reserve.
In the Northern part of West Virginia preserved barrows, composed of representatives of one of the Indian cultures many centuries ago. One of the first settlements founded by Europeans in the XVIII century was the city of new Mecklenburg. It's called Shepherdstown now.
In Charleston preserved many buildings belonging to the period of Foundation of the city – the end of XVII – early XIX century. These buildings are included in the national register of historic places. Even more clearly, the history of the United States is represented in the harper's ferry national Park. It is a small town, in fact, an open-air Museum, in which many museums, preserved and restored historic buildings, festivals are often held.
Another historic town is Lewisburg. In addition to the beautiful historic center, it is also famous for the chocolate festival, which is held in April.
The city of willing was the first capital of the state, now it is one of the five largest cities in West Virginia and is the center of industry and сommerce.

Gardening Essentials for Living the American Dream
| AD – sponsored post |
Even if you have a postcode rather than a zipcode, you can still achieve American perfection in your garden. Say goodbye to chintzy garden gnomes and rusty swing sets, and say hello to a Stepford wife-inspired outdoor space.
The key to this look is precision, as you're aiming to give the impression of a well-to-do household that take great pride in their front and back garden. Something that's popular nowadays is decking, to add more outdoor enjoyment for social gatherings and increase your living space. The American dream is adored by people all around the world, including the UK, and it makes sense that despite the poor weather, the British are taking pride in their gardens with decking becoming more and more in demand. People can access their favourite decking boards from a UK supplier in a bid to create their own dream garden. Placing these boards doesn't have to be done by yourself. You could easily get a professional to come in and provide you with a service that will meet your needs. This is the same for many businesses; if you struggling with cutting the branches on the trees that surround your garden then why take a look at using someone like this Tree Service Cobb County? Here's five key players to achieving the American garden dream:
White picket fence
Let's start with the frame of your new-look garden, the fence. You can buy many different types of fences from Oakdale Fencing. Traditionally made of wood and painted white (or whitewashed), the fence is a decorative way to establish the boundaries of your garden while keeping pets and children where they should be. This type of fence perfectly encapsulates the look, and the clean and fresh feel of the white posts create a uniformity that is both pleasing the eye and to any OCD tendencies…
Keeping your garden hydrated can also act as a status symbol. Because of the heat in certain states of America, the sight of sprinkler systems is a norm, but what kind of sprinkler you have can let the world know that you mean business with your garden. Instead of a small, six inch water system that sprays back and forth in the part of your garden that looks the dryest, you could have a series of elaborate systems that work in tandem to create a water show that could rival the Bellagio fountains in Las Vegas.
Water feature
If you have the room, it's worth splurging on an impressive water feature.You could go for shop-bought as there are plenty of beautiful designs out there, but if you're feeling creative you could go 'DIY' with this focal point feature. Not sure where to start? Try getting some inspiration from gardening boards on Pinterest to set you in the right direction. A waterfall effect is always a people-pleaser and the trickling sound promotes a feeling of calm for visitors to your garden. There are several tutorial videos for simple designs on YouTube if you're willing to get your hands dirty.
Leaf blower
When summer has passed and leaves start to fall off the trees, you need a piece of equipment that can help to tidy things up. No, not a rake but a leaf blower – another fantastic addition to the American ideal. We've all seen them in films and TV shows, as bronzed leaves are piled into a huge mound ready to be removed, once more showing your luscious green grass underneath. This type of leaf blower or similar air compressor isn't as expensive as you might think and will give you the look of someone who has the changing of seasons under control.
Ride on lawnmower
And, last but not least, we have the daddy of all gardening essentials that take your outdoor space look from zero to hero: the ride on lawnmower. This piece of gardening kit will be of no use if your garden is the size of a ride on lawnmower, but if you've been blessed with an acre or two to play with, this machine should be your toy of choice. Buying this mower will set you back anything from £1,000-£5,000 so would be an investment in the upkeep of your beautiful lawn and if you're going to be spending this much on a mover then you will want to make sure you're getting the best zero turn mower for the money so you know you've made a sound investment. It might cost a lot but nothing can compare to the 'king of the road' feeling that sitting atop a ride on mower can achieve. Simply turn the engine on, take the wheel and watch as your garden is cut without a bead of sweat forming on your forehead.
The American dream has an aspirational quality that does come at a price, but if you have the means and the space to work with, you can turn a boring green space into an envy-worthy garden to entertain in. Something Uncle Sam would be proud of!

Sure, "The Dance" doesn't have any kind of regular rhyme scheme, but that doesn't mean that Williams doesn't make great use of sounds in this poem. Did you happen to catch how many B words there are in this short little poem? We're not just talking about "Brueghel" here, either. Here's a hint: tons. "Blare," "bagpipes," "bugle," "bellies," "balance," "butts"—the list goes on. The effect of all this alliteration is a continuous bouncing feeling that helps you bound through the lines along with the dancers.
Williams also plays around with rhyme throughout. Mostly, he goes crazy with words that rhyme with "round." Early in the poem he tips us off that this sound might just reoccur by repeating it several times: "the dancers go round, they go round and/ around" (2-3).
Not long after he reuses "round" again, but this time plays on a different meaning of the word by saying that the "bellies" of the dancers are as "(round as the thick-/ sided glasses whose wash they impound)" (5-6). We're guessing you also noticed that he rhymed "round" with "impound" there as well. Later in the poem, WCW hits us up again by describing the "Fair Grounds" where the kermess is taking place, and saying that the dancers' "shanks must be sound."
So, yeah, there's no doubt that Williams had a lot of fun coming up with things that either rhymed or near-rhymed with "round." But what do you think might be the point of that? Is it just random poetic thing to do, or is it somehow tied into the meaning of the piece? To us at least, the repetition of this sound adds to the circular, swirling motion of the poem. We talk about how the poet achieves this rhythmically in "Form and Meter," but it seems that he achieves this sonically as well.
The fact that this rhyme comes back again and again—particular as an internal rhyme and not an end rhyme—gives us a sense of the whirling of the dancers and is aided by the fact that it's all rhyming with the word "round." That this is an internal rhyme adds to the inner-twisting motion of the poem as a whole. It's constantly turning in on itself to echo. We think it's also really effective that the rhymes don't come back into any kind of rigid scheme. Yeah, they create a sense of circular motion, but not all circles are perfect, especially not ones created at raucous festivals like the one seen in "The Kermess."
The title of the poem isn't exactly cryptic. This poem describes a painting that shows a bunch of peasants dancing, so it's called—wait for it—"The Dance." Well, maybe it's not quite that simple. What's interesting to us about the title is that it highlights the sense of motion that the speaker feels from the painting. Though the figures of the canvas are forever frozen, the speaker is responding to the feel of movement expertly captured by the painter, Brueghel. This sense of movement is also embedded in the swirling rhythms and sounds of the poem, itself, making the choice of the title pretty spot-on.
The title is doubly appropriate when you consider that Williams, in his poem, is in a sense pairing up with the painting. Any writing about the visual arts is known ekphrasis. It's a specialized form in which the writer is trying to capture in language what the artist has done with line and color in a visual way. Williams here is really engaged in a kind of dance with Brueghel, trying to wrest the artist's effects out of the painting, then twirl and render it in a poem.
(Side note: Brueghel is actually known for having been obsessed with capturing movement in his paintings. We're guessing he'd be pleased that Williams responded to that very thing in his work.)
The first line of the poem kinda places us in an art museum. When we read, "In Brueghel's great picture, The Kermess," we imagine the speaker standing with his arms crossed, staring intently at the painting in a sterile, reserved environment (1). Very quickly, though, the wild world of the painting, itself, surrounds the speaker. The silent halls of the museum are filled with "the squeal and the blare and the/ tweedle of bagpipes, a bugle and fiddles" (3-4).
Suddenly, the other silent patrons of the art museum transform into the round-bellied, butt-swinging peasants of the rowdy festival. Our speaker is swept up entirely, and before you know it, the ordered halls of the museum disappear entirely, and our speaker is "Kicking and rolling/ about the Fair Grounds" with the best of them (8-9).
Like every dream, though, this one has to come to an end. The last line of the poem reminds us again that our speaker is staring at a painting, so we see the wild world of "The Kermess" dissolve around him, leaving him standing once more in quiet halls of the museum. We have a feeling, though, that this trip to the museum was well worth the price of admission. The way that the setting draws the speaker in, and us along with him, speaks to the power that the painting has over its viewers. It pulls us in, sets us spinning, then spits us out again, happy and exhausted.
The speaker of "The Dance" definitely doesn't spend a lot of time talking about himself. He's way too obsessed with this painting by Brueghel to bother telling us who he is, or what he's doing staring at this sixteenth-century Flemish masterpiece. Of course, the fact that he's so obsessed with this picture does tell us a lot about the guy. For one, he's got to be pretty into art—Brueghel in particular—-to bother talking about a painting in the first place. After all, he kicks the poem off by saying, "In Brueghel's great picture, The Kermess" (1). Right from the top, you can tell this guy is enthusiastic about this painting, and he's not afraid to tell us about it.
We also get the sense that the speaker is a dude who's into the common man. Sure, he might be hanging out at an art museum, but the picture that catches his eye is one of a bunch of peasants having a raucous party. This isn't some elegant portrait of some noble pageant, y'all; it's of some work-a-day folks throwin' down. Throughout the poem, the speaker uses language to capture the idea that event is rough around the edges. We hear about "the squeal and the blare" of the music, and how the dancers are "swinging their butts" and "tipping their [round] bellies" all over the place (3-9). It seems like with this poem, the speaker is celebrating the rough and tumble world of the peasant festival just as much as he's celebrating the refined piece of art that he so admires.
You might think that a poem written in praise of a sixteenth-century Flemish painting would be a major mountain to climb. That's definitely not the case with "The Dance," however. Williams' simple, approachable language makes it accessible to all.
William Carlos Williams kicked off his poetic career as part of the Imagist movement, a school of poetry headed up by his buddy Ezra Pound. This movement's main goal was to paint precise images without using a bunch of fancy shmancy words that just get in the way of what a poem is trying to describe. The Imagists wanted to keep it simple, but keep it real. Though "The Dance" was written much later in Williams' career, you can still totally see the influence of this philosophy. Check out the opening lines of the poem:
In Brueghel's great picture, The Kermess,
the dancers go round, they go round and
around (1-3)
There's just no pretense here at all. The reader doesn't have to decode any dense poetic constructs; instead, the language is totally straightforward. The speaker is talking about a painting that shows dancers dancing around, and that's exactly what he says.
Of course, the poem wasn't also loaded with well-crafted, specific images then it probably wouldn't be sitting here talking about it today. When the speaker tells describes the dancers "tipping their bellies" and "their hips and their bellies off balance" we get a real sense of not only what they look like, but of the motion swirling motion of their dance (5-7). And this is all achieved—in typical WCW fashion—without a whole lot of fancy shmancy words or poetic hooplah.
A lot of the "The Dance" struts its stuff in a meter called amphibrachic trimeter. Seriously, we didn't make this up. Yeah, it kinda sounds like the name of some newly discovered dinosaur, and it makes our spell check go red-squiggle crazy, but it's a real thing. Luckily, though it has a fancy sounding name, this meter actually isn't all that complicated.
Amphibrachic basically means you've got a poem divided up into three-syllable feet (or beats), with the middle syllable of each foot being stressed and the ones on either side being unstressed. An amphibrach sound like daDUMda. If you want to hear one in real life, say the word "forever" out loud. You should hear forever—daDUMda.
As for "trimeter," that just means that each line is divided up into three ("tri-" means three) of these amphibrachic feet. Got it? We can sense some puzzled looks out there. Don't worry, here's an example from the poem. Read it out loud, accenting the syllables in bold, and you'll get the picture pretty quickly:
In Brueghel's great picture, The Kermess,
the dancers /go round, they /go round and (1-2)
So, there you go. Each line is divided neatly into three feet, with each foot having three syllables. Having the middle accent of each foot accented gives the entire poem a bouncy feel that helps to get across the feel of the peasant's dance. In fact, this meter is a bit like a waltz, only with the emphasis on the middle of the three beats instead of the first of the three beats. Here we get daDUMda; in a waltz (like this one) it's DUMdada.
Of course, these peasants aren't exactly trained dancers, and they've been drinking a ton of beer, so chances are their dance isn't quite as smooth as the rhythm of the opening two lines might imply. So, it makes total sense when Williams changes up the meter in the next two lines. Read them out loud, and you'll see what we mean.
Around, the squeal and the blare and the (3)
Hear how, after that first amphibrach, he starts putting the accent on the first syllable of the three instead of the middle one? This meter actually has a name too: dactylic. Despite popular belief, the name of this meter has nothing to do with pterodactyls (okay, nobody believes that). It actually comes from the Greek word for finger, and refers to the fact that each finger has three sections with the closest to the knuckle being the longest. (Just look at your fingers right now, and you'll see what we mean.) So, dactylic meter accents the first syllable, as opposed to the next two in each foot. In line three, this jarring shift in meter makes the words "squeal" and "blare" really pop, highlighting the abrasive sounds these onomatopoeic words are trying to get across.
Throughout the rest of the poem, Williams dips in and out of variations of these two meters. By weaving these two together and riffing on them as he goes along, WCW manages to capture the off-kilter nature of the dance (and the dancers) in the very rhythm of the poem. These dancers are a little drunk as they whirl around, so the meter is too. Go through and track the accents yourself, and see if you can figure out all the nifty tricks that meter master, WCW, is pulling off. Like the dancers, we bet it will make your head spin.
You could argue that one of this poem's greatest strengths is the way it captures the motion of the dancers. No joke—when you're reading this poem it really makes you feel like you're watching these peasants really throw down. It might even make you feel like you're dancing with them. But how does the poet achieve this miraculous feat? Basically, he does it by having tons of fun putting just the right imagery in just the right places. Check it out...
Okay, it is a wild party, but we hate to disappoint you. There's no sex in this poem whatsoever. Everyone is invited—BYOB (bring your own bagpipes).

Pioneer cemetery in Central Oregon, Mt. Hood in the distance.
Taphophile: an interest in graves, cemeteries, funerals. Also, a graver, grave hunter, tombstone tourist.
tapho-photographer and explorer, I suppose. Certainly not the more crass 'graver' to be sure. To be one, a label, is far easier than explaining the magic, power, charm and humanizing quality of strolling through a cemetery. Given where I live, Oregon/U.S., the cemeteries are certainly not ancient. They are more of the 'pioneer' or settler variety. Yet, the drama of suspected life and the visual certainty of death creates drama's that touch one as you stroll through a cemetery. I walk away from such encounters feeling more spiritual and more connected to history.
What some notables have on their grave markers…
may more than dark clouds
cry upon my leaving here
spread my ashes in the stream
If you have followed along with SwittersB, you know I like exploring Oregon's pioneer cemeteries. The markers make all manner of suggestion to me as I stroll about. Several children passing on the same day or within days of one another (an accident, disease, or worse). Historical names to the area or region are found. Or names that suggest further research and new discoveries.
Often the pioneer cemeteries are maintained by a core volunteers who tend to the grounds, the markers and records. Keeping track of where the graves are can be difficult if the markers are moved or overgrown. Here the markers are propped up against the primary family marker. Who were these people deserving of only a set of initials? Did finances limit the attention to details? Were they outcasts or distant cousins or son and daughter-in-laws? The leaning markers captured my imagination this time. It was the thought that counted at the time to make a marker I suppose. Now they are propped up as a fading reminder. Thank you to the volunteers that maintain this cemetery in the Columbia River Gorge.

close up of pillow by Laura Bray, 2010
Knowing that the last few weeks in August would be hectic, I had strategically prewrote postings to be published during this time. However, I seemed to have goofed saving these posts as drafts vs. the publish later option. I am going to chalk it off another casualty of Mercury and the tricks he plays during the retrograde cycle.
bracelet by Kelly Snelling, 2010
In a previous posting, I had mentioned my landmark 40th birthday. This posting was to show you all the delicious loot I received from dear and cherished friends.
The ever sweet, Maija, gifted me with this beautiful silk scarf, which she picked up on vendor day at Art Unraveled. The silk has been hand dyed with handwritten script. It is so pretty and works well with Cali weather. Maija also gave me a gorgeous wired work brooch, which I could use with the scarf or as a separate. I can't not wait until I get an opportunity to wear these two.
Home girl extraordinaire, Kelly, made me these exquisite hand hammered and tooled silver bangles of silver and Labradorite. Little did she know I love Labradorite and have several pieces in my collection. Home girl also took me out for a most delicious dinner of Spanish cusine at Cafe Hildago in Fullerton. I took pictures of our dishes, but I can not seem to located those pictures at this time. The food was very nummy and just plain delish. We later visited our hommie, Nancy, at her shop, Gilding The Lily. It was a perfect evening of fun and friendship.
Soul sister, Laura, gifted me with this artful patchwork pillow, which included piecing, applique, and pen work. This pillow is not only very pretty, but most comfy. Laura wrote a posting on her blog about the construction of this pillow and some of the techniques she used, here.
Although a quite birthday, I am overwhelmed and touched by the kindness of the three incredible women above as well as those who sent special birthday messages and well wishes here, through email, facebook and twitter. Thank you all!

Aubameyang hopes Gabon learn from late equaliser
Juary Soares' header denied Gabon a win in the Africa Cup of Nations opener, frustrating star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang hopes Gabon learn their lesson after conceding a late equaliser to draw 1-1 with Guinea-Bissau in the Africa Cup of Nations opener.
Aubameyang put the tournament hosts in front in the second half when he tapped home from Denis Bouanga's delivery.
However, Juary Soares headed home from Zezinho's free-kick, conceded by Guelor Kanga, in the 90th minute to salvage a point for the competition debutants.
The Borussia Dortmund striker was frustrated the win escaped Gabon but has his eyes set on maximum points from their remaining Group A fixtures against Burkina Faso and Cameroon.
— Ousmane Dembélé (@Dembouz) January 14, 2017
"It's not an ideal start. The first half was difficult. We were a bit tense at the start, but in the second half played with more freedom," Aubameyang said on beIN Sport.
"Unfortunately, we conceded a goal that we shouldn't have conceded at the end. We shouldn't have given the foul away.
"It will teach us not to repeat the same mistakes. We're going to pick up two more wins. We remain positive, we're at home. We made a mistake, we will change course and win the next game."

Unify USGS Tiles in 1 layer
The suggestions is to have 1 single USGS layer that provides always the most up to date tiles, combining USFS2016 as main source, then filling gaps with USFS2013 data, then filling gaps with USGS 7.5
Don't see myself doing this as it's already available in the CalTopo UI via layer stacking, and the forest service shortcut in the left bar gets you most of the way there. It currently uses the 2013 version but I should update it to 2016; there is very little coverage difference between the two layers so not much is gained by falling back to 2013 when 2016 doesn't exist.

Denoument Statues
↑ · Statue 1 / 4 · From the start of the mission (after the lock-down cut-scene), ignore D.Grassi and his marines standing at the door and locate the weapon box on your radar. The statue is next to this box.
↑ · Statue 2 / 4 · In the plaza where you battle the Buzzard, locate the sniper rifle drop pod. Near this drop pod is a futuristic airport cargo trolley. The statue is inside this vehicle. If you don't know where the sniper rifle drop is, locate the two gates from the plaza to the enemy riddled bridge. Have Sam face the right entry ramp, then turn 90° right. The trolley will be right in front of you.
↑ · Statue 3 / 4 · Past the bridge protected by the emplaced lasers, go right (instead of left). There is a statue in the enemy base's first floor. Despite being stuck between two control panels, some attacks can hit the statue (and save you some ammo).
↑ · Statue 4 / 4 · In the long tunnel leading to the Crystal Viper's room, note a 90° right turn to the exit. Stop inside that turn and investigate the pipes on the ceiling. A statue is on one of them (from Andre Motley and Steffen Post).

Sport: Football.
Class: Senior. Age: 17.
Accomplishment: Mangual, a quarterback, threw for 278 yards and ran for another 216 yards, accounting for six touchdowns (four rushing and two passing) and one 2-point conversion, including the decisive 71-yard scoring run on fourth down with 1:42 left in regulation to lift Passaic to a wild 42-35 road win over rival Clifton on Thanksgiving.
"He's a great kid, and a great leader, especially being the fact that this was actually his first year playing quarterback. To come out and lead the team, (he has) a remarkable personality. His performance against Clifton was just amazing. For him to request the ball in that situation (leading to the game-winning score), speaks volumes about the character that this kid has."

Introduction to Capital/Financial Markets Series
Capital markets refers to the channeling of money from lenders of cash, such as asset managers, to those who need to borrow money, such as corporations and governments. Traditionally, capital markets implied equities and fixed income securities. Today, the lines are blurred between these traditional markets and foreign exchange and derivatives. There are a plethora of instruments, and an abundance of terminology. Executing market transactions, in both the primary and secondary markets, would also come under the umbrella of capital markets. This introductory series familiarizes participants with several components:
- Introduction to Capital/Financial Markets – Monday, June 15 – 1:00-3:00 p.m. ET
- Introduction to Equity Markets – Tuesday, June 16 – 1:00-3:00 p.m. ET
- Introduction to Fixed Income – Wednesday, June 17 – 1:00-3:00 p.m. ET
- Lifecycle of a Trade – Thursday, June 18 – 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. ET
These training sessions in this series are delivered in 2-hour-long segments on different days, allowing participants the flexibility to fit them into their schedules.
Fixed Income Series
The US Fixed Income Market makes up approximately 40% of the global fixed income market or $40 trillion. The fixed income markets include government and corporate debt, municipal securities, agency debt, securitized products and financing tools such as repurchase agreements (repos). Technology and regulation have changed the landscape of what was once a predominantly bilateral market. Investment banks, which dominated the space prior to the credit crisis, have now pulled back as it has become a more capital-intensive business. How do portfolio managers and traders make their investment/trading decisions? What happens after the trade is made? This fixed income series answers these questions and much more through the following training sessions:
- Fixed Income Instruments and Their Electronification – Monday, June 22 – 1:00-3:00 p.m. ET
- Pricing Bonds – Tuesday, June 23 – 1:00-3:00 p.m. ET
- Fixed Income Risk Measurements – Wednesday, June 24 – 1:00-3:00 p.m. ET
- Securitization – Thursday, June 25 – 1:00-3:30 p.m. ET
- Repurchase Agreements – Friday, June 26 – 1:00-3:00 p.m. ET
These training sessions are delivered in 2- to 2.5-hour-long segments on different days, allowing participants the flexibility to fit them into their schedules.
Derivatives Series
Derivatives are contracts that derive their value from some underlying asset such as a fixed income security, an equity security, or a commodity. Derivative contracts can also derive their value from an interest rate, an exchange rate, an index, or even an event such a credit default. Derivatives may trade on an exchange or over-the counter (OTC). If trading on an exchange, derivative contracts are standardized versus OTC where the contracts are customized. There are a variety of derivative products including futures, forwards, interest rate and currency swaps, options, caps/floors, and credit default swaps. Derivatives are used for a variety of reasons including hedging, speculating, increasing yield, and replication. GFMI's Derivatives Series addresses interest rate swaps, financial futures, options, lifecycle of a derivatives trade, and credit default swaps. The courses are stand-alone so you can choose all of the courses or just the ones that pique your learning interest.
- Interest Rate Swaps – Monday, July 6 – 1:00-3:00 p.m. ET
- Financial Futures – Tuesday, July 7 – 1:00-3:00 p.m. ET
- Options – Wednesday, July 8 – 1:00-3:00 p.m. ET
- Credit Default Swaps – Thursday, July 9 – 1:00-3:00 p.m. ET
- Lifecycle of a Derivatives Trade – Friday, July 10 – 1:00-3:00 p.m. ET
ALM Series
Asset Liability Management (ALM) refers to the management of various risks found in banks' and credit unions' balance sheets, including interest rate, prepayment, credit, liquidity, and operational risk. This two-session course focuses on interest rate and liquidity risk. From a regulator's viewpoint, specific focus is on the identification, measurement, monitoring, and controlling of these risks. ALM is not an exact science, but a process that, if executed properly, is built into banks' and credit unions' cultures. The process begins with the asset liability committee, commonly referred to as ALCO. Part I of this course addresses interest rate risk (IRR) with models running from simple static gaps, to the more complex models of income simulation and economic value of equity. Part II of this course analyzes how banks and credit unions manage liquidity risk, including liquidity contingency plans. Note: The target audience for this course is not large complex banking organizations
- Asset Liability Management (ALM) in Banks and Credit Unions – Part I – Monday, June 29 – 1:00-3:00 p.m. ET
- Asset Liability Management (ALM) in Banks and Credit Unions – Part II – Tuesday, June 30 – 1:00-3:00 p.m. ET

By Melissa Luz T. Lopez
Senior Reporter
INFLATION could hover close to four percent next year on the back of accelerating oil prices and tax-related adjustments, in turn putting pressure on the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) to raise policy rates twice in 2018, several bank analysts said.
In separate market reports, global banks said the central bank may be hard-pressed to adjust key rates early next year in order to cope with faster inflation and rising global yields, with a fresh rate hike in the United States expected next month.
"We fear that higher prices may generate instability in inflation expectations requiring some tightening action from BSP in 2018," ING Bank N.V. Manila senior economist Jose Mario I. Cuyegkeng said in a statement, adding that he expects inflation to clock 3.7% next year against the BSP's 3.4% forecast average.
The uptrend in world crude prices as well as the impact of higher tariffs under the tax reform program are expected to drive commodity costs up, with higher excise taxes on fuel also part of the package.
If realized, this forecast would settle close to the high end of the central bank's 2-4% target band and could be the highest annual average since 2014's 4.1%. Mr. Cuyegkeng said this would prompt the BSP to introduce rate increases in the second and fourth quarters.
Inflation has so far averaged 3.2% as of end-October, matching the BSP's estimate for the entire year. Last month's reading at 3.5% is the fastest in nearly three years.
Still, the BSP's policy-setting Monetary Board kept borrowing rates steady during last week's review, deeming inflation "manageable" and with domestic economic activity remaining upbeat.
Analysts at BMI Research are likewise penciling a rate increase of 50 basis points from the BSP: "The risk is that if interest rates are kept too low for too long, malinvestment may start to accumulate in the economy."
"We are of the view that the current low interest and inflation environment is unsustainable, and eventually one or the other will have to rise," the Fitch unit said, noting the need to catch up with the US Federal Reserve's approach to rate normalization.
Market players expect the Federal Open Market Committee to raise rates by another 25 basis points next month — the third for 2017 — in line with Fed signals earlier this year of three rate adjustments.
BSP Deputy Governor Diwa C. Guinigundo reiterated last week that the Philippines does not have to match the Fed's rate adjustments as domestic conditions have a bigger bearing as far as the central bank is concerned. He added that the two nations have "different economic and business cycles" to consider.
Accelerating loan growth in the Philippines coupled with increased government spending particularly on infrastructure could also push prices higher, BMI said.
ANZ Research is holding on to its forecast of two rate hikes between January-March 2018, while analysts at Nomura Global Research said any rate adjustments will be introduced between July and December.

Fall Is A Good Time to Get Organized
Do you go on a cleaning spree in the fall? I do. The cooler weather, going back to school, and the need for a streamlined routine to get everyone where they need to be on time spurs me to get the house organized, rid of clutter, and ready for the paper overload that homework and school projects bring.
Now that the temperatures have dropped, it's time to get moving. And my go-to guide for ridding the house of excess is Marie Kondo's popular book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing.
Surely you've heard of Marie Kondo and her drastic approach to clearing your home of unwanted and unnecessary items. Kondo's name has even become a verb, as in "I have Kondoized my closet." Which, for the uninitiated, means to take out all your clothing, lay it on the floor, and sort by type. Then gently hold each item. If it sparks joy, keep it. If it doesn't, out it goes.
In our household, and yours, too, I suspect, to Kondo is an ongoing process. Growing kids, changing fashion, updated technology – all these things result in too much stuff. We have recently moved not once, but twice, which means we went through all our belongings multiple times. It's much better to downsize your belongings before packing day! So we've touched each item, and decided whether anyone felt the joy.
The Four Piles System
In our house, we organize by piles. There are four piles:
1. Keep
2. Sell
3. Donate/Gift
4. Throw Away
This process has sparked many donations to Goodwill, a little bit of selling, and occasionally just throwing things out.
Items which made the keep pile: My Patagonia ski pants, a few favorite books, and the white basket my grandmother used to carry flowers on her wedding day.
Items donated: Clothes my daughter has outgrown, chairs that are too big for the scale of our small house life, and many, many books.
Items that went straight to trash: School art projects made from macaroni and other perishables, cat toys losing their stuffing, and clothing with stains, holes, and tears that just couldn't be washed or repaired. It's amazing how fast a busy, active teenage girl can wear out a new knit top!
Quality Products Pass the Kondo Test
One lesson from all this touching and evaluating: the quality products, the ones that are made well with durability in mind, are much more likely to go on the keep pile.
Whether it's a wicker basket from a 1920's wedding that hasn't decayed a bit, or the Patagonia ski pants that have lasted a decade or more, these items tend to be made with the integrity that comes from a commitment to quality materials and workmanship. They spark the kind of joy that comes with good old-fashioned lasting quality.
Quality Clothes Become Hand-Me-Downs
And of course, our Lucky & Me leggings made the cut. They have held up after many wearings and multiple wash and dry cycles. The fabric has softened and become more comfortable over time, and the colors remain vibrant. Although my daughter has outgrown them, our grandaughter is going to love wearing these hand-me-downs!

Dental Implants Replace Missing Teeth
Implants consist of small titanium screws that are placed into the jawbone to create a permanent new root. A natural tooth coloured crown is then placed over the implant.
From single tooth replacements to complete mouth reconstructions, Dental Implants are a well-established, tried-and-tested treatment. 90 per cent of modern implants last for at least 15 years.
Frequently asked questions

MORE Options for missing teeth
Dentures are worn to replace your natural teeth. They are usually made from lifelike resin teeth bonded to a plastic base. You will either have been fitted with a complete denture to replace all your teeth, or a partial denture.
Partial dentures are usually held in place by clasps or metal clips, which fit around some of your remaining teeth.
A bridge is required when a tooth has had to be removed and there is no foundation left.
A bridge is formed to the teeth on either side with a new tooth is formed between. This can be either by crowns on the supporting teeth, or metal wings.

How to prepare your social media marketing strategy for Christmas on Facebook. Let's look at the key points to cover to get you started early for the Festive Season, to ensure good ROI on your AD's, and you don't miss out on sales.
We have seen increasing amounts of traffic from Facebook and increased mobile conversions during the festive period over the last few years. At the beginning of this year, Facebook made some changes to their algorithm which saw people see less organic posts from the brands they follow in their timeline and more focus on family and friends. This has led to a considerable increase in reliance on Facebook advertising from brands, to increase visability and looking to leverage the social media network for traffic.

America's foremost novelist reflects on the themes that preoccupy her work and increasingly dominate national and world politics: race, fear, borders, the mass movement of peoples, the desire for belonging. What is race and why does it matter? What motivates the human tendency to construct Others? Why does the presence of Others make us so afraid?
Drawing on her Norton Lectures, Toni Morrison takes up these and other vital questions bearing on identity in The Origin of Others. In her search for answers, the novelist considers her own memories as well as history, politics, and especially literature. Harriet Beecher Stowe, Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor, and Camara Laye are among the authors she examines. Readers of Morrison's fiction will welcome her discussions of some of her most celebrated books--Beloved, Paradise, and A Mercy.
If we learn racism by example, then literature plays an important part in the history of race in America, both negatively and positively. Morrison writes about nineteenth-century literary efforts to romance slavery, contrasting them with the scientific racism of Samuel Cartwright and the banal diaries of the plantation overseer and slaveholder Thomas Thistlewood. She looks at configurations of blackness, notions of racial purity, and the ways in which literature employs skin color to reveal character or drive narrative. Expanding the scope of her concern, she also addresses globalization and the mass movement of peoples in this century. National Book Award winner Ta-Nehisi Coates provides a foreword to Morrison's most personal work of nonfiction to date.
My Takeaway "How does one become a racist, a sexist? Since no one is born a racist and there is no fetal predisposition to sexism, one learns Othering not by lecture or instruction but by example." Toni Morrison, The Origin of Others What is race and why does it matter…
A small town hides big secrets in this atmospheric, page-turning debut mystery by an award-winning new author.
After getting a note demanding his presence, Federal Agent Aaron Falk arrives in his hometown for the first time in decades to attend the funeral of his best friend, Luke. Twenty years ago when Falk was accused of murder, Luke was his alibi. Falk and his father fled under a cloud of suspicion, saved from prosecution only because of Luke's steadfast claim that the boys had been together at the time of the crime. But now more than one person knows they didn't tell the truth back then, and Luke is dead.
Amid the worst drought in a century, Falk and the local detective question what really happened to Luke. As Falk reluctantly investigates to see if there's more to Luke's death than there seems to be, long-buried mysteries resurface, as do the lies that have haunted them. And Falk will find that small towns have always hidden big secrets.
My Takeaway "The rumors were fed well . . . and grew fat and solid. They sprouted legs and heads, and they never died." Jane Harper, The Dry I had high hopes for The Dry and in the end, I did not love it, but I did not hate it either. Harper is…

Had quite a weekend one way and another, although for the life of me I cant remember what we were doing to make it pass so quickly.
I did have my very first sale on Folksy, which was a wonderful surprise, and I had an order for a couple more headbands from the lady who bought the last one, so I shall be busy on those this week.
I had problems uploading pictures to my Folksy shop, I tried on my PC which has an older version of Firefox, I tried on Rog's PC which has a newer version of Firefox, and I tried on the windows PC which has Internet Explorer, and it wouldn't work on any of them. I thought it was probably at their end, as I had no problems uploading to Facebook or Blogger, so I emailed Folksy support and they were very helpful, telling me what they thought the problem might be. Then, this morning, Rog decided our router needed rebooting, and lo and behold I can now upload pictures to Folksy, so the problem was right under my desk after all!
This is the blanket I put in my shop today, only I have to say that the picture as it shows on here is very unflattering to what is really quite a pretty blanket, in shades of pink and edged in lilac (not grey as it appears here!)
And now to catch up on the Reverb10, days 11-13
December 11 – 11 Things What are 11 things your life doesn't need in 2011? How will you go about eliminating them? How will getting rid of these 11 things change your life? (Author: Sam Davidson)
Gosh, I'm not sure I can find 11 things I'd like to get rid of, but here goes:
1) Like a few others I could do with getting rid of about 20 kilos of body weight - diet and exercise should help and then I will feel comfortable and happy in my skin and my clothes.
2) I sure know I could manage to live without back-ache . . . (as above)
3) . . and stress incontinence (after 4 babies my pelvic floor muscles are useless, and getting worse as I get older!) - pelvic floor exercises!
4) I would like to get rid of an extremely unpleasant next-door-neighbour, but failing that I would like to get rid of the feelings I have for him which are spoiling my otherwise comfortable and happy life. Each time he pops into my mind I must focus on something pleasant instead.
5) I seriously cant think of anything else, I am very happy with where I am in my life, physically and emotionally, and I dont want for anything personally.
December 12 – Body Integration This year, when did you feel the most integrated with your body? Did you have a moment where there wasn't mind and body, but simply a cohesive YOU, alive and present? (Author: Patrick Reynolds)
We like to climb hills, and often at the top of a hill when I can see for miles, especially down here in Wiltshire, I have this feeling of calm and wellbeing and at peace with myself.
December 13 – Action When it comes to aspirations, it's not about ideas. It's about making ideas happen. What's your next step? (Author: Scott Belsky)
Susan Jeffers has a saying, which I try to live by - feel the fear and do it anyway. So next year I shall work through my fears and DO, rather than just THINK.
