1. Who's in Worse Shape – America or Europe?
2. More Tricks Up Bernanke's Sleeve?
3. Gold Investors Taking a Huge Risk
4. More on the S&P Downgrade of US Debt
Who's in Worse Shape – America or Europe?
The US has received criticism from pundits around the world in recent weeks. First, there was the very disappointing GDP report at the end of July, showing growth of only 0.4% in the 1Q and 1.3% in the 2Q, both well below expectations. Next, global observers expressed distaste with the debt ceiling debacle which threatened to push the US government into default. Making matters worse, Standard & Poor's downgraded America's credit rating from AAA to AA+.
As a result of these and other factors, stock markets around the world plunged lower, highlighted by panic selling almost everywhere. Yet US Treasury bond prices – yes, those just downgraded by Standard & Poor's – have skyrocketed, proving that the world still views Treasuries as being safe and sound. In any event, the US has gotten a lot of criticism of late.
As regular readers know, my focus over the last several weeks has been on the deteriorating financial situation in Europe, not the debt ceiling debacle. In Europe, the financial crisis spread from the periphery countries of Greece, Portugal and Ireland to Spain and Italy, and last week we began to hear fears that even France may be in trouble.
The European Central Bank (ECB) has calmed things down for the moment by buying bonds from Spain and Italy, and says it stands ready to buy even more if need be. Interest rates have reportedly backed off in Spain and Italy, at least for now. But as I discussed last week, the ECB and the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) are woefully under-funded. Europe is not out of the woods by any stretch.
Still, because of what has transpired over the last several weeks, the US continues to get most of the criticism. All of this leads to the following question: Who's worse off – America or Europe? There are good arguments on both sides as both have very serious structural problems. But if we're facing another 2008-style financial crisis, my bet is that it begins in Europe, not in the US.
In the big picture, you could say the US is worse off economically than Europe. Even before the latest stock market meltdown, the US fiscal path was unsustainable, what with an aging population combined with an enormous national debt and even larger entitlement commitments. And as noted above, the US economy is slowing down. The only way out, many say, is to implement massive tax increases or draconian spending cuts, or both.
Here are some other statistics on the US debt problem. According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the US federal, state and local government deficit (NOT the federal deficit alone) jumped from 2.9% of GDP in 2007 to 10.6% in 2010. Excluding debt interest payments and adjusting for the economic cycle, the so-called "primary deficit" rose from 1.5% to 7.0% of GDP, the biggest in the world. And the ratio of US debt to GDP jumped from 62.0% to 93.6% in 2010.
The Eurozone is nowhere near as bad, with an average annual deficit of 6.0% of GDP, a primary deficit of 1.1% of GDP and a debt-to-GDP ratio about the same as America's but rising nowhere near as quickly. In Europe, growth is holding up better than in the US. The IMF raised its growth projection for the Eurozone in late June to 2%. Of course, that number will not likely hold up as a result of the market turmoil of late which will cause Europe's consumers to pull in their horns.
While America's financial problems are dire, the US has one huge advantage over Europe at this moment, and that is the luxury of time. As noted above, the reaction of the world's investor community to the recent financial turmoil has been to rush into US debt. What that means is US borrowing costs will continue to decline, and that buys the US time to get its act together and put in place a real plan to reduce the deficits and restore American growth, assuming our leaders are really serious, which is highly questionable.
The Eurozone, on the other hand, has no such luck. Borrowing costs for its weakest economies — the PIIGS, including Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain — remain highly elevated. That puts pressure on those governments to implement fiscal reform programs with great haste as well as pressure on the rest of the Eurozone to take more and more dramatic action to stem the financial crisis contagion.
As noted above, the European Central Bank swooped in last week to buy billions of dollars of Italian and Spanish debt, pushing down the yields on their bonds and easing the debt crisis at least for now. This is a major deviation from the ECB's usual policy, and as I have cautioned, the ECB is under-funded. So it is unlikely that the ECB (and the ESFS) can handle the crisis on its own over an extended period of time.
And the ECB may not be seeing much help anytime soon. The Eurozone simply does not have enough cash allocated to fighting the debt crisis, and that is unlikely to change in the near-term. Some blame the self-centered nature of European politics. If you think Washington is dysfunctional, take a look at what goes on in the Eurozone. Major decisions require the agreement of the Zone's entire leadership. Getting anything done is a nightmare, especially since every member has to worry about how new policies will play with voters back home.
That's why the dominant member of the Zone, Germany, has to be dragged kicking and screaming into any effort to resolve the euro crisis. Chancellor Angela Merkel is facing a near revolt from her own supporters over her agreement to new rescue efforts.
Therein lies yet another reason why Europe is a bigger danger to the global economy than America. EU members are simply not willing to make the sacrifices necessary to resolve the debt crisis. Sound familiar? Yes, the US has serious political divisions, but at least everyone here – conservatives and liberals – believes they are acting in the best interests of the nation. As a nation, we can pass reforms if we choose to. Europe, on the other hand, faces fundamental political and economic change, which all must agree upon, if its debt crisis is to be truly resolved.
It will take a level of political and economic integration the individual members of the Eurozone have been unwilling to consider so far. That may mean adopting dramatic reforms that directly impact national sovereignty, like the merging of national budgetary policies — specifically, a unified fiscal union to match the euro monetary union.

Ultimately, the survival of the euro depends on the creation of some kind of united fiscal union. Creating a fiscal union cannot take place overnight but a useful first step might be to agree on a timetable for the creation of such a union. At the moment, the political will is lacking but, as the financial crisis continues to worsen, the choice will become increasingly stark.
America has serious problems, not to mention that our debt continues to explode. But the US is far from a sovereign debt crisis, as illustrated by the recent herding into Treasury notes and bonds, despite the S&P downgrade of our debt. As noted above, the US still has the luxury of time. For how long, I do not know.
Numerous countries in Europe have no time left or very little. If one sizable country defaults on its debt, that would turn European sovereign debt into something toxic like the subprime mortgage securities of the 2008 crash, and a banking crisis would almost certainly follow.
Bottom line: Europe poses a greater danger to the global economy at this moment than the US, in my opinion.
Bernanke May Have More Tricks Up His Sleeve
The Fed Open Market Committee (FOMC) met last Tuesday, amidst all of the market turmoil, and the usual policy statement that afternoon was disappointing to many. The FOMC statement announced a decision to keep short-term interest rates near zero through at least mid-2013. Prior to last Tuesday's announcement, most forecasters felt that the Fed would begin raising short-term rates by mid-2012. Of course, that was before the latest stock market meltdown.
The Fed's 1:15 EST announcement last Tuesday was enough to drive the stock markets higher with the Dow gaining 400 points by the close. However, on Wednesday, the Dow plunged 500+ points. As noted above, many analysts were disappointed that the FOMC did not vote to launch another round of "quantitative easing" or QE3.
By the way, these policy statements from the Fed every six weeks or so tend to be very mundane and much of the language doesn't change from report to report. But if you read the entire FOMC policy statement last Tuesday, as I did, you found something new and interesting in the last paragraph:
"The Committee discussed therange of policy tools available to promote a stronger economic recovery in a context of price stability. It will continue to assess the economic outlook in light of incoming information and is prepared to employ these tools as appropriate." [Emphasis added, GDH.]
As a Fed watcher for over 25 years, here's what this new statement means to me: Even though the Fed didn't announce QE3 last week, it won't hesitate to do so at any time if need be. I also think this statement was purposely open-ended so as to give Bernanke the maximum latitude.
Keep in mind that the Fed holds an Economic Symposium every August in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke will speak at the symposium on Friday, August 26. You may recall that Bernanke hinted at this same symposium last year that the Fed was about to embark on another round of quantitative easing – QE2. QE2, which ended in late June of this year, consisted of purchases of apprx. $600 billion in Treasury securities.
So, will Ben announce QE3 on August 26? If the stock markets continue to tank, I would think the answer is a definite YES. You might recall that Bernanke already hinted at QE3 on July 13, shortly after the end of QE2, but recanted the next day telling lawmakers that the Fed "…isn't prepared 'at this point' to enact more stimulus." We'll see about that.
A year ago, when Bernanke announced QE2, rumors were that he wanted to buy up to $2 trillion in Treasury securities, but the more conservative members of the FOMC reportedly forced him to scale it back to only $600 billion. Some now feel that the $1.4 trillion difference ($2 trillion less $600 billion = $1.4 trillion) could still be on the table.
Personally, I hope the Fed doesn't do it. That would push the Fed's securities portfolio over $3 trillion. Plus, there are questions as to how well QE2 worked. I would say, not very well. But they may do it anyway. President Obama and Treasury Secretary Geithner met with Bernanke last Wednesday, just one day after the Fed downgraded its view on the economy. Hmmm.
If Bernanke hints at another large round of quantitative easing, QE3, on August 26, that should be quite bullish for stocks – especially if it's a trillion dollars or more. Of course, who knows where the stock markets will be by August 26.
Some think Bernanke could also announce in Jackson Hole that the Fed will discontinue paying banks 25 basis-points interest on the $1.6 trillion excess reserves they have on deposit with the central banks. In theory at least, if banks can no longer earn a safe 25bps from the Fed, maybe they would consider lending more. Of course, that assumes that there are lots of businesses wanting to borrow, which is far from certain.
Whatever major decisions the Fed makes just ahead probably won't be formally announced until the next FOMC meeting on September 20. But that doesn't mean Bernanke won't leak the plans publicly at the Jackson Hole symposium when he speaks on August 26 as he did last year, or even sooner for that matter.
Retail Gold Investors Taking Huge Risks
I have purposely not commented about the recent skyrocketing price of gold because, frankly, it has gone beyond anyone's wildest expectation, including the life-long "gold bugs." But now investors who would have never considered buying gold are considering jumping in even at these never-before-imagined record highs. We are getting calls most every day from clients and readers who ask if we would advise getting on board now with gold over $1,700 per ounce.
Obviously, I have no idea how high (or low) gold might go from here. Personally, I think it is a disaster waiting to happen, and it could fall off a cliff any day now, as gold is so prone to do. But here are just a few generic thoughts on gold that I think you should consider before jumping in.
The vast majority of retail investors who invest in gold hold the Exchange Traded Fund GLD. GLD is priced at roughly 1/10th the spot price of the underlying bullion. The fund is fully backed by gold held in the HSBC vaults in London. The recent "flight to safety" has seen the price of gold (and thus GLD) rise considerably, having recently peaked at $175.13 per share as gold has topped $1,700 per ounce. Of course, this increase in price has also increased the risk of holding the yellow metal (read: it could fall out of bed at any time). Here are a few of the risks investors can experience in GLD (from the prospectus page 6):
Retail investors may have considered one or more of the above before investing (but likely didn't). What virtually none of the retail investors considered as a risk to investing in GLD was an increase in the "margin requirements" on gold futures contracts. In a nutshell, margin is the collateral that an investor puts up for a position in futures contracts to cover the credit risk.
The Chicago Mercantile Exchange announced last Thursday that initial margin requirements to trade gold futures rose to $7,425 per 100-ounce contract from $6,075, and maintenance margins increased to $5,500 from $4,500. Maintenance margin is the level at which you get a margin call to bring your collateral back up to $7,425. Those unable or unwilling to put up the additional capital are forced to sell. Gold futures fell on the news of the margin increase, and GLD fell even more than the futures.
This could be but the first in a series of increases for gold margin, not unlike the margin increases we saw in silver earlier this year that resulted in a massive four day plunge in silver prices from a high of $49.82 to $32.22. This same scenario could play out with gold.
The point is that retail investors seeking a safe haven from the equities markets have no idea how much risk they are taking in GLD or the various other methods of investing in gold. At today's record prices, gold can incur significant losses at any time with or without additional increases in the margin requirement.
More on the S&P Downgrade of US Debt
Last week, I made some initial comments on Standard & Poor's decision to downgrade the US debt rating to AA+. Now that a little more water has run under the bridge, there are some additional observations I can make.
First, Standard & Poor's has been pretty much beaten up since its downgrade decision, especially when the two other credit ratings agencies – Moody's and Fitch – didn't agree. President Obama chastised the S&P by claiming that it incorrectly calculated future deficits. Others called into question the need for any rating firm to judge US government solvency, since it has the power to print money to pay its debts.
As I read many Internet posts on the S&P debt downgrade, it seemed that the majority had a bigger problem with the audacity of Standard and Poor's to downgrade government debt due to a subprime crisis that it helped to create. After all, it wasn't the government that gave AAA ratings to subprime mortgage debt. Others felt that the latest US credit downgrade, going it alone, was an attempt by S&P to get its reputation back.
Reaction in the investment industry was mixed. PIMCO bond fund manager Bill Gross agreed with S&P's downgrade, while Warren Buffet criticized the move saying that US debt should be quadruple A (AAAA) rated, if such a rating existed. The mixed reaction to the S&P downgrade, when the other credit rating agencies left our credit rating unchanged at AAA, should rightly have raised big questions, and I couldn't agree more that the S&P downgrade should be challenged. I also question the media's over-reaction.
Some believe it might just be possible that Standard & Poor's fired a shot across Congress' political bow in an attempt to wake up our elected officials to the need for meaningful action. Guessing that the other two rating firms would probably not likely follow suit, S&P may have concluded that it could make its point without having any major adverse effects. Boy were they wrong!
Others believe that S&P wanted to be first out of the gate to downgrade US debt in an attempt to resurrect its reputation after its shameful rating of subprime debt as AAA back in the years leading up to the financial crisis. I would suggest that this was definitely part of the reason.
There were even some others who suggested that the S&P downgrade was meant to support the Tea Party position that the recent deficit reduction plan didn't go far enough. Others felt that the action was more than a little payback to the government for legislation and regulations aimed at reining in the abuses that helped to create the subprime debacle.
Whether or not the move was purely political on S&P's part, it certainly could have been. What we have seen during the healthcare, debt ceiling and deficit reduction debates are backdoor deals, outright bribes and smoke and mirrors tricks more suitable for a circus sideshow than leaders of the greatest country in the world. It's time for this foolishness to come to an end!
The way out of the current economic malaise will require tough decisions that will likely be very unpopular with certain segments of the population. What we need are statesmen (and women) who will put service before self and make the hard decisions, no matter what the consequences may be for their future re-election.
Do we have such individuals in the House and Senate? Frankly, I don't know but I think we might, especially with the many conservatives elected in 2010. But they are often drowned out by partisan sound bites from members of both parties who seem to be more intent upon maintaining power (read: re-election) than fixing America's problems.
Will Standard & Poor's action awaken the wisdom necessary to govern, despite its very questionable motives and judgment? Only time will tell, but I'm not holding my breath. Both the Congress and President Obama have gone on summer vacation, so they must not be too concerned.

When Kendrick Lamar released the official Black Panther soundtrack listing earlier this week, one of the songs that immediately became the one to look out for was "Pray For Me"—his collaboration with The Weeknd.
The pair have worked together before on Starboy's "Sidewalks," and this new Black Panther cut continues to display just how electric their musical chemistry is. Laid over a sharp, synth-heavy production that fits into The Weeknd's latest '80s-leaning album, "Pray For Me" has the Toronto singer darkly questioning who in this world has his back. Kendrick swoops in with a melodic verse as he projects that he has a greater purpose in life. "Mass destruction and mass corruption / The souls are sufferin' men / Clutchin' on deaf ears again, rapture is comin' / It's all prophecy and if I gotta be sacrificed for the greater good, then that's what it gotta be," he raps.
Following "Pray For Me" and "Sidewalks," it's a wonder that The Weeknd and Lamar haven't collaborated more frequently early on in their careers. But let's hope this isn't the end of their musical story. Black Panther arrives in theaters on Feb. 16, with the soundtrack preceding it on Feb. 9. The TDE-curated project also features "All The Stars" with SZA; "King's Dead" with Lamar, James Blake, Future and Jay Rock; as well as collaborations from Travis Scott, Zacari (who previously teamed up with Lamar on DAMN's "Love"), Swae Lee and more.
Next up, go back in time and watch an old-school Fuse x Kendrick interview at Bonnaroo:

Ok - what's the version on your frontend? If that's running 2.4.1 (and restarted) then it should be filtering out the \Noselect flag if (and only if) the mailbox exists in murder. All your "LSUB" response is coming from the Inbox server - and it has \Noselect for all the folders that aren't on that same server. The frontend the passes this to pipe_lsub (in imap_proxy.c) which filters the \Noselect flag off. There was a bug in 2.4.0 (and presumably earlier, I didn't touch that code before) where it wasn't removing \Noselect, despite a comment to the effect that it should be. Upgrade your frontend to 2.4.1 and that will be fixed. Bron.

Yesterday, we held our last Afternoon Tea Ceilidh as part of the pilot year. We have been coming together every month to dance, sing, eat, drink and socialise since last October.
These ceilidhs have grown with each month. The atmosphere is always warm, welcoming and lively. We have welcomed groups from Tigh na Drochaid NHS Resource Centre, students of the Skills and Learning Programme at West Highland College, Budhmor Care-home, Alzheimer Scotland, Sense Scotland and Homefarm Nursing Home. Local Scottish country dancers, new parents, babies and toddlers have attended regularly, as well as some visitors to Skye.
Yesterday, we had three visitors from across the Atlantic join us – Catherine, along with her husband and cousin who were visiting from Saskatchewan, Canada and Los Angeles. Here is Catherine, who was excited to see the Canadian Barn Dance as her cousin's grandparents came from the Ottawa Valley from where she believes the dance originates.
We had a special treat as singer-songwriter, Donald Livingstone joined the band and gave us some lovely songs.
The band has observed an amazing improvement in the dancing with each month that has passed. A Strip the Willow was one of the dances requested on Monday. Anyone who has ever danced one will surely tell you a Strip the Willow is no mean feat! We also enjoyed a Friendly Waltz, Canadian Barn Dance, Gay Gordons, Dashing White Sergeant and Gaelic Waltz.
So, a big well done the dancers!
A big thanks also goes out to the musicians of the Breakish Ceilidh Band: Lis, Christine, Scott, Donald, Keri and John. Without them, we wouldn't have had fantastic, uplifting live ceilidh music and songs every month. A special thanks to Lis for her fantastic dance calling.
We will not be holding Tea Ceilidhs over the summer months, but we hope to be back in September with more of the same. If you want to ceilidh with the Breakish Ceilidh Band before then, they will be playing at the Skye Food & Drinks Festival at Aros on 14th June.
Chì sinn a dh'aithghearr sibh!
See you soon!

text: q1q2q1q2q 1 / - Oct 28, 2009 #1Hi, my name is bruce, i am taking College writing II now, however, as an ESL student, this is very difficult for me. I post my essay about Hamlet here, hope someone can help me with the grammar and paragraphs, thanks very much.HamletAs Shakespeare's eternal classic, Hamlet has been one of the most argued works among world literary for centuries, and Hamlet, the prince of Denmark, his character has always been in the center of discussions. Michael Feingold stated that, Hamlet may be the most complex character any playwright has ever placed on stage. The most known about Hamlet's character is his hesitation, contradiction and ideal. Hamlet, as a fiction character, is a paradoxical complex, a miniature of Renaissance era, Hamlet's shadow can be found from many people during that time. In the process of the modernization of western civilization, Renaissance was a transition from medieval to modern, and Shakespeare wrote Hamlet when western society was experiencing an enormous change, or, revolution. Humanism started rising while theology was falling. The beliefs of Renaissance Humanism such as valuing human's life, human's free will begun disseminating in Europe, but on the other hand, the shackle of feudal belief was still deep and stubborn. Hamlet, who lived in the core of this storm, is just like the ham of the Italian sub, oppressed and it is ordered toasted. He fought it, struggled, and cried. His enemies are so strong that requires him toZhang 2use extraordinary method to achieve his goal: putting a mask on is just one of the basic strategies and because of the defect in his characters, the mask becomes more vivid on him.Unlike the other Shakespeare's characters, the prince of Denmark is a 30 years old student who attended the Wittenberg University - the origin of RenaissanceHumanism, where Martin Luther nailed " 95 of these". Before his father was murdered, he was a flower in the greenhouse, as the prince of Demark he was rich and had no worries. He was so happy and pure; he had many plans and expectations for the future. ""To the celestial, and my soul's idol, the most beautified Ophelia--- Doubt thou the stars are fire, Doubt that the sun doth move...hine evermore, most dear lady, whilst thismachine is to him"( pg 26; Act II, Scene I). He attended Wittenberg University and influenced by the modern Humanism and protestant belief. Many of his words showed such influences that refer to the new beliefs in Renaissance. His word: "What a piece of work is man. How noble in reason, how infinite in faculty..." (pg 28; Act II, Scene II) tightly connected to Humanism's anthropocentric belief. Furthermore, Hamlet's statement: "There's a predestinate providence in the fall of a sparrow" (pg 176; Act V, Scene II) also suggests its connection with doctrine of predestination. However, Hamlet, himself, is a prince of feudal kingdom. The cuff of feudalism are never been taken off from his hands. The contradiction in his character is actually a reflection of the conflict ofZhang 3his humanism, and feudal beliefs. The crystal garden of his fantasy life collapsed with his father's sudden death. All the responsibilities and questions fall upon him with no sign. The innocent prince of Denmark is lost, until the ghost shows him the way. The ghost of Hamlet's father's is the key of the play, the different interpretation of its presence can render the whole play with different color. The ghost reveals the secret of his father's death, and plans a seed in Hamlet's heart. Someone may interpret this seed as the poison of the feudal society. In Hamlet's feudal society, men often fought for their honor and glory. In medieval Europe there was a brutal and strict code of honor called Chivalry. The way his uncle murdered his father is certainly unchivalrous. Therefore, Hamlet, as the son of the King Hamlet, had to avenge against Claudius, to re-honor his father and his family. In this explanation, the acceptance of revenge by Hamlet can be viewed as a reflection of the society that still domain by feudal belief. And this seed in his heart soon grow into the flower of hate which would cover up Hamlet's destiny with the tragic shadow. However, he didn't begin his revenge right away, and instead, he was drawn into a cycle of thinking, a whirlpool of contradiction in beliefs. In the scene when Hamlet was watching Claudius in the dark while he is preying, the struggling in his heart had reached its peak. "Now might I do it pat, now he is praying;And now I'll do 't: and so he goes to heaven; And so am I reveng'd."( pg 97; Act III, Scene III). It wasn't the weakness of Hamlet that resulted in his hesitation. It was his humanism belief of respecting life hauled him from his revenge." to be or not to be"( pg 93; Act III, Scene I). In Hamlet's thought, the valueZhang 4of revenge was way more important than the physical killing. He questioned about how much it would change by the simple death of Claudius. So eventually, the mercy ofHumanism defeat Hamlet's hate, which would bring him the endless nightmare later on. However, his hate grows day by day, the longer he stayed at the Denmark, more darkness he witness and more decisive he is. "I'll make a ghost of he who tries to stop me"( pg 67; Act II, Scene III). In order to complete his task, he has to fake his insanity and uses extreme method. "He is dead and gone, lady, / He is dead and gone; / At his head a grass-green turf, / At his heels a stone." (pg 85; Act IV, Scene V) .Through his lover, Ophelia's mouth, everyone in Denmark will believe that Hamlet is truly insane. In this way, Hamlet is able to investigate his father's death without being noticed. However, as he continuing his investigation, he becomes more skeptical and irrational. The further he goes, the deeper he is drawn into the tragic that play he directed himself. He begins to enjoy the portraying of a different person and manipulate everyone around him. His eyes are blinded by his hatred, and so his concessions are buried in the same way. He gives up his ideal, his freedom and his love for the so called justice and honor. His actions push his mother away, and killed his Ophelia. The consequence of his revenge costs his life and everyone else he cared. In the end, at the last breathe of his life, he finally wakes up and realizes how stupid and foolish he was. However, that's already too late. The whole play of the Hamlet becomes a tragedy of how a innocent and noble prince becomes a pathetic tool of hate, a puppet of fate and victim of feudal kingdom.Zhang 5However, if the ghost is interpreted from a different angle, then the whole play of the hamlet will become a completely different story. Instead accusing the ghost as the sin of the feudal society, it can be viewed as a call of destiny for Hamlet that telling him tobecome the pioneer of the new era. The responsibilities that laid on Hamlet's shoulders then will become a task of restoring the harmony of the kingdom and establishing the new order of the society. It replaces Hamlet's dark and bloody motivation of hatred with the brave and majestic determination of revolution. Hamlet himself will become a fighter, a warrior who hovers between the prize of blood that is demanded for the revolution and his mercy. In the end, he sacrifices himself and everyone else that he cared for the new world. He completes the transformation from a boy to a man. He is the hope of the new age. Even though, he died in the end, but he threw the first brick into the window of the rotten feudal society. The whole play of the Hamlet becomes a story of a hero instead of a tragedy.Hamlet is one of the most successful characters among world literary. His multifaceted image and character has been discussed over centuries. One thousand readers will have one thousand "Hamlet". His insanity or sanity is depends on reader's own perspective. Just like Hamlet said, "here is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so"(pg 70; Act II, Scene II). But his image will be living in people's mind forever.

There were only 4 chili soups to try and all of them were good. I've only been to three of these, and in the first two I managed to vote for the chili that won. This was not the case this year. Indeed, I couldn't decide between two, but neither of them were the winning chili. Each year Gary brags that he'll be the one to win (and often recommends that people just not bring any chili, heh). And to his surprise and delight, he won! You go guy! He even posed for a picture with the trophy (and mock applause in the background.)
As is usually the case when I go to one of the gatherings that they put on, I ate too much. But I don't mind - it was all very good food. And there was bread and salad and brownies and cookies. Yummy stuff! I have a happy (though stuffed) tummy.
Today was spent switching my e-mail over from Pegasus to Thunderbird. *sniff* I'm going to miss Pegasus, but I need Thunderbird for my upcoming PDA purchase. If I want to avoid having to install Outlook on my PC, I'm going to need Thunderbird and Lightning along with Birdiesync. And I like what I see in Thunderbird thus far. (Well, Firefox is my preferred browser, so no surprise there.)

There are several foods that can lower your cholesterol level. Cholesterol level in the blood depends on what you eat and how your body makes cholesterol in the liver. Having too much cholesterol in the blood is not a disease, but it can lead to hardening and narrowing of the arteries (atherosclerosis) in the cardiovascular system.
Cholesterol is one of body fat (lipid) which is essential for the activity of cell membranes, make hormones, vitamins and bile acids. Cholesterol also helps in the transmission of nerve impulses. There are two kinds of cholesterol: the bad is called low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and good is called high-density lipoprotein (HDL). LDL can contribute to heart disease and other cardiovascular diseases. HDL removes excess LDL in your blood and bring it to the liver for disposal.
15 Cholesterol Lowering Foods
Walnuts, almonds and other nuts can reduce blood cholesterol. Research has shown that eating a few walnuts every day can lower your cholesterol by 27 percent. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), consuming about a handful (42.5 grams) of almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts, pecans, pine nuts, pistachio nuts and walnuts, may reduce the risk of heart disease. The content of Omega-3 fats and antioxidants in nuts work to rehabilitate the arterial damage caused by saturated fats.
2. Green tea
Research in Japan found that theanine in green tea beneficial to increase good cholesterol and prevent the formation of bad cholesterol. You should drink at least four cups of sugar-free green tea each day to get the benefits.
3. Tomatoes
Drinking two glasses of tomato juice a day lowered bad cholesterol from your body significantly.
4. Red grapes
Red grapes increase good cholesterol. It is recommended to drink two glasses of grape juice every day.
5. Blueberry
Blueberries contain a large number of substances that fight bad cholesterol. Compounds in blueberries (pterostilbene) can help lower cholesterol as effectively as commercial drugs with less side effects.
6. Plum
Such as blueberries, plums have a huge amount of material that lowers cholesterol.
7. Soy products
Soy products such as soy milk, tofu and tempeh not only reduces your cholesterol, but also rich in protein.
8. Garlic
Garlic has a positive effect on your bad cholesterol while maintaining good cholesterol. Many clinical trials have looked at the role and benefits of garlic on cardiovascular disease, primarily by lowering total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. American Dietetic Association recommends that the health benefits of garlic, we should consume 600-900 mg (about 1 clove fresh) per day.
9. Olive oil
Olive oil can reduce bad cholesterol from your body. Researchers at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Spain) found that a diet enriched in olive oil help lower bad cholesterol (LDL).
10. Coconut oil
Research Dr. Mary Enig MS of Nutritional Sciences and other research mentions that natural coconut oil (non-hydrogenated) increase the good cholesterol (HDL).
11. Avocado
Unsaturated fat in avocados is the kind of healthy because it can increase your HDL cholesterol levels.
12. Flaxseed oil
Flaxseed oil can lower blood pressure in men with high cholesterol. In the three-month study on 59 middle-aged men, those who ate flaxseed oil supplement daily blood pressure decreased significantly.
13. Fish and fish oil
A study from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology found that people with type 2 diabetes who consumed high doses of fish oil over nine weeks lowered the concentration of cholesterol in their body.
14. Pomegranate
A study by the National Academy of Sciences (USA) showed that pomegranate juice reduces cholesterol plaque buildup and increases the production of nitric oxide, which helps reduce arterial plaque.
15. Yogurt with probiotic
Several studies have shown that the probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus reuteri actually help lower cholesterol. They work by preventing the reabsorption of cholesterol back into the blood stream.

Alexi Accessories Review. A New British Jewellery Brand
Unfortunately, the brand no longer exists but back in 2014, I always liked to discover new brands. On Twitter I came across Alexi Accessories. This British jewellery brand celebrates the essence of feminity and addresses young, discerning women who desire stylish and sophisticated jewellery, yet want affordable prices.
The Alexi jewellery collection ticks all these boxes. The range includes delicate rings, necklaces, pendants, earrings and bracelets. Most of the beautiful designs feature sparkly cubic zirconia stones and underline the fine, romantic character of Alexi Accessories which is a great change to the current statement trend that's dominating the fashion world.
The brand kindly sent me this lovely present the other day. Inside was a stunning 925 sterling gold necklace with a sparkly mini disc charm* which is part of their first signature collection.
I love the cute pink ribbon and how much detail and effort went into the presentation. It makes such a big difference when jewellery brands care for their customers and the effort is reflected in the gift wrapping and the collection itself.
My gold mini disc necklace is very delicate and the charm sparkles wonderfully. Engraved in the clasp is the brand's logo which reminds me of my boyfriend Alex. The necklace is very light and though it is so fine, the sparkly cubic zirconia stones make sure to catch eyes. The romantic necklace is made of real 925 sterling gold and goes with many of my girly outfits. For a full outfit post, please have a look at my end of season look shot at Sand Bay Beach in Weston-Super-Mare.
The gold mini disc necklace costs £46.50 and is available on Alexi Accessories website. The brand has only launched their online shop a few weeks ago, so at the moment you'll only find another collection called Brooke, but there will be more added towards the end of the year.
Have a look around their website and you'll also find gorgeous pieces with sterling silver or a rose gold finish. They have wonderful designs and with Christmas slowly approaching, why not get some jewellery inspiration for the perfect gift?
Thank you so much for reading today's post. Do you like dainty jewellery and what is the best outfit to wear it with? Let me know what you think about the necklace.

In fact, the verdict is a sign that the system is far from being broken and is actually working as intended to help ensure innovation and competition for the benefit of consumers.
First, some have put forward the idea that a company like Apple shouldn't be able to use patents to get an advantage on the competition. This might makes sense to some at first blush. However, the patent system was designed precisely to encourage companies like Apple to make significant investments in research and development. The efforts themselves create jobs and stimulate the economy. Obviously, Apple hopes that its huge investment will result in products that drive the next generation of communicating and computing devices. But the risks are huge and without the benefits of patent protection, few companies would engage in such costly and uncertain endeavors.
Second, some claim that a single company should not be able to hold exclusive rights to the most popular technologies. They argue that people gravitate toward one solution to a particular problem, and any company should be permitted to avail itself of that solution. Again, this idea would only serve to hamper innovation. A company – like Apple – should not lose its rights to differentiate its product because others choose to copy its features and make them ubiquitous. Instead, the patent system inspires companies to find new, better ways to please consumers and get the exclusive, enviable rights to their own work.
Samsung has over 50,000 employees in research and development alone in over 42 facilities around the world. According to Samsung's website "they collaborate on strategic technologies for the future and original technologies designed to forge new market trends and set new standards for excellence." And this year Samsung had churned out enough phones from its factories to sell over 93 million – in a single quarter. If any company is poised to design consumer electronics with a fresh look and feel and get them in consumer hands quickly, it's Samsung. And when it does, its new iPhone-alternative will create more competition and push down prices for everyone.
The winners in this scenario wouldn't just be Samsung. Economies around the world in need of an economic boost will benefit as Samsung and its suppliers will need to hire even more people to research, develop, manufacture, box, ship, market, and sell its new, innovative products – much like the economic boost Apple has spurred in recent years.
Finally, it's important to understand that patent litigation is not new and often follows periods of robust innovation. Many different companies spent time developing technologies related to voice calls, e-mail, video, music, security, and browsing – and all of these technologies are now in a single device. History tells us that litigation ultimately provides clarity in times like these by sorting out who has proprietary rights to specific pieces. This clarity often leads to broad licensing agreements that allow competitors to use each other's inventions while protecting the incentive to innovate. Most innovation builds on what came before; however, the responsible approach is to license those prior inventions and then build on top of them.
This doesn't mean our system is perfect. Higher quality patents are needed. Applicants need to more clearly define and claim their inventions. And the USPTO needs more resources to provide a better search and examination.
But these needs are a far cry from the drastic measures some are calling for.
Watching lengthy interviews of the jury foreman explain the painstaking process and debate that led to the decision, it's clear the judge and jury weighed this case carefully. And as Samsung pointed out when it lost, the jury's verdict was one step in a larger process – there were many steps before the verdict and there will be many after it. Far from a system that's broken, last weeks' decision was a rational step in a well-planned process meant to secure an advantage for those large and small who have great ideas and achieve them. It could help lead to economic growth. And it even just might be the spark that creates the next revolutionary product.
Stoll is a partner in the intellectual property group at Drinker Biddle & Reath where he focuses on complex patent issues. He retired from the USPTO at the end of 2011 after a career that spanned the ranks from an examiner to his most recent position, Commissioner for Patents.

On Tuesday 23 August, youth workers in Oxfordshire went on strike over the County Council's plans to off-load its 26 youth centres in favour of "community hubs", putting 80 professional youth worker jobs at risk and devastating services.
In Oxford a free coach had been put on by Unite. I joined a group of 20 or so supporters and striking youth workers and set off to the pickets in Banbury.
We arrived in Banbury at around 11am to join the already large and colourful picket at Banbury Youth Centre. This was the second picket of the day after a line at the council office from 8am. The atmosphere was good, considering the situation and the miserable weather, thanks to the large amount of support from passing traffic and pedestrians.
The North London Solidarity Federation would like to extend our warmest congratulations to the IWW cleaners who recently won a strike over unpaid wages. Their solidarity, organization, and determination (despite their varying immigrant backgrounds and the fact they work for an unscrupulous subcontractor) is an inspiration for us all. Congratulations again fellow workers and please don't hesitate to let us know how we can support your struggle in the future.
North London Solidarity Federation
Ambas secciones londinenses de Solidarity Federation l@s envía felicitaciones a l@s limpiezas de IWW Londres después de su huelga exitosa. Su solidaridad es una inspiración. Otra vez, felicitaciones a nuestr@s companer@s y esperamos que nos avisen de como podremos solidarizarnos con sus luchas en el futuro.
Leaflets, posters, and fliers designed to be given out in the run-up to and the day of the three-quater million strong public sector strike on June 30th 2011. Most were designed by SolFed (and especially members in the North London Local), with two published by the IWW.
The June 30th strikes were well observed in Brighton, with the vast majority of schools shut, five picket lines across the city and a huge march and rally through the town centre.
Jobcentre picket: PCS and supporters set up banners & stall at 7am. BBC radio interviewed PCS organiser & interviewer disclosed that he was going to London after to plan future NUJ action. 2 pickets formed, at entrance to Jobcentre and at staff entrance. Approx 10-15 non-union staff arrived early and entered building. A solid picket of 30-40 formed by 8.15, ready for 8.30 opening. Much beeping of car horns and public goodwill. 2 supporters handing out claimants' leaflets were told forecourt is private property and were physically removed by security.
After the last UCU pensions strike in March, several rank & file union members, upset at the lack of inter-union unity, set up the Manchester University Staff Against the Cuts group (MUSAC). The group has been meeting regularly and consists of members of Unite, Unison and UCU. Members of Manchester EWN are also involved.
It has been good to meet with people whose criticisms of the existing unions match our own in many ways. The group has held a weekly stall in the University, giving out leaflets in support of various anti-cut campaigns.
As around 750,000 public sector workers took strike action, Liverpool Solidarity Federation offered our support to picket lines around Bootle as well as joining a march and rally in the City Centre. We found that strike action was strongly supported, not just by the staff walking out but by the broader constituency of those affected by and fighting the cuts.

The disability market is about the size of China and is emerging as other markets have in the past—1.3 billion people and $1.2 trillion in annual disposable income.
With an estimated population of 1.3 billion, people with disabilities (PWD) constitute an emerging market the size of China. Their Friends and Family add another 2.3 billion potential consumers who act on their emotional connection to PWD. Together, they control over $8 trillion in annual disposable income. The aging Boomer population is adding to the number of PWD daily. As Boomers' physical realities change, their need and desire to remain active in society dovetails with the demands of PWD. Consumers that care about the disability market are increasingly directing their loyalty, and their consumer spend, to companies that demonstrate action inclusive of people with disabilities—as employees and as customers.
Momentum is driving organizations to act on disability now
Between 1Q2012 and 3Q2016, ninety-one large consumer-facing firms ran advertising including disability. Great brands are acting to incorporate PWD into their core messages and campaigns. They leverage learnings from PWD and elevate their unique attributes to speak to the entire marketplace. Friends and Family react strongly and emotionally to direct as well as subtle cues that connect brands to PWD. They change their buying behavior and 'preach' their loyalty passionately. These folks become brand ambassadors and lifetime customers.
Mature brands today are hungry to find new ways to engage consumers. Aging Boomers represent a cohort whose functional needs are changing, as is the way that they self-identify. In weaving a PWD message into brand experiences, firms engage at a basic, powerful emotional level. Smart brands will adapt to the changing demands of boomers, the wealthiest demographic in human history.

Russia annuls sanction for use of force in Ukraine
MOSCOW >> On Russian President Vladimir Putin's demand, the upper house of Russian parliament on Wednesday canceled a resolution allowing the use of military in Ukraine, a move intended to show Moscow's eagerness to de-escalate tensions and avoid a new round of Western sanctions.
Putin had said his request, made a day earlier, was intended to help support the peace process in Ukraine, which began Friday with a weeklong cease-fire.
Putin needs to show his support for Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko's peace plan ahead of Friday's European Union summit to avoid further Western sanctions. The EU has warned it could introduce new sanctions that would target entire sectors of the Russian economy if Moscow fails to help de-escalate the crisis.
The vote came as NATO foreign ministers gathered in Brussels, warning that more sanctions were possible and considering ways to bolster Ukraine's military.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel told lawmakers Wednesday that Putin's move to rescind the permission for using military force in Ukraine was an "important psychological point," but that progress toward a solution remains slow and EU is still prepared to increase sanctions.
Merkel, who was set to have a phone call with Putin, French President Francois Hollande and Poroshenko later in the day, said the EU will do everything possible to help find a diplomatic resolution, but added that "if nothing else helps, sanctions could return to the daily agenda, and this time at the third level."
Two previous rounds of U.S. and EU sanctions imposed asset freezes and travel bans on members of Putin's inner circle over Russia's annexation of Crimea. The next round, which would impose penalties for entire sectors of the Russian economy, could be far more crippling.
Maintaining pressure on the Kremlin, NATO's secretary general said Wednesday there are "no signs" Russia is respecting its commitments over Ukraine.
"So today we will review our relations with Russia and decide what to do next," Anders Fogh Rasmussen said as he arrived for the foreign ministers meeting.
Rasmussen said foreign ministers also would discuss how NATO can help build Ukraine's military capacities, including by creating trust funds.
As outlined by an alliance official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because no official decision has been reached, the trust funds for Ukraine would not bankroll the acquisition of lethal hardware, but would help pay for improving the former Soviet republic's capabilities in areas like logistics, cyberdefense and command and control of military forces, as well as the resettling of soldiers whose barracks had been closed.
On Tuesday, Putin urged Ukraine to extend the truce and sit down for talks with the rebels. He argued that the Ukrainian demand that the insurgents lay down their weapons within a week was unrealistic, explaining that they would be reluctant to disarm for fear of government reprisals.
The Russian leader also called on Ukraine to adopt constitutional amendments and other legal changes that would protect the rights of Russian-speakers in the east.
Poroshenko said Wednesday that he would submit draft constitutional amendments offering broader powers to the regions and hoped for quick approval by parliament.
The cease-fire has been repeatedly broken by sporadic clashes, and it was violated again Tuesday when rebels used a shoulder-fired missile to down a Ukrainian military helicopter, killing nine servicemen. The attack, which came a day after the rebels pledged to respect the cease-fire, prompted Poroshenko to warn that he may end the truce ahead of time.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague hailed Poroshenko's peace plan and pointed at the helicopter's downing as an evidence of a lack of support from Russia.
"We urge Russia to take the necessary actions to stop the flow of arms across the border, to stop supporting illegally armed separatist groups in Eastern Ukraine, because in absence of actions by Russia the case for stronger sanctions from European Union nations will of course become stronger," Hague said.
Putin's March 1 request to parliament for authority to use the military in Ukraine came days after Ukraine's pro-Russian president was chased from power following months of street protests. Russia sent troops that quickly overran Ukraine's Black Sea peninsula of Crimea, setting the stage for Russia to annex it after a hastily called referendum.
In April, a mutiny erupted in eastern Ukraine, where pro-Russian insurgents seized official buildings, declared their regions independent and fought government troops. The U.S. and NATO accused Russia of supporting the rebellion with troops and weapons, but Moscow has denied that.

For new/average Pokemon Trainers (Games Introduction/Review)
These are Introductions/Reviews to all the Pokemon games that exist. This does not guarantee to show details of the games but only show you the general views of the games. If Im missing anything, please notice me ONLY BY PM so I can add to my post. And if you have any comment or questions, just also PM me, you can also email me at firstname.lastname@example.com incase my PM is full. Thank you. (This is going to be quite long so if you already knew something, just skip through.)
Some Keywords:
Pokemon: Monsters-like creatures have special powers; many type such as leaf, fire, water
Pokedex: a device that records every Pokemon youve caught or fought with
Ash: the common main character name, you can choose your own main character name.
Gary: Ashs rival since birth (you can also choose the name for this character).
Elite 4: Pokemon Maters, similar to gym leaders but only much harder to defeat.
Pallet Town: a town where you started the game.
Professor Oak: Garys grandpa, a scientist who studies about Pokemon, once was a trainer. Will be very useful because hell take care of your Pokemon once theyre stored in the PC.
PC: a device use to store any Pokemon that youve captured.
Pokemon versions:
-Red/Blue/Green/Yellow: These versions are similar to each other so I listed them as one. The only difference is that one has Pokemon that others dont, so if you want to complete your Pokedex, youll have to trade. This is how the game started: You started out as Ash in Pallet Town. Your mission is to beat the Elite 4 to become a Pokemon master and fill up your Pokedex. To accomplish these missions, youll have to travel through towns, cities, dungeons, caves, and other places. Your journey is not going to be easy due to many secrets and troubles youll run into in the games. Generally, in the beginning of the game, Professor Oak, will introduce you to 3 rare Pokemon, however, you can only choose one, usually the Pokemon are charmander (fire type monster), squirtle (water type monster), and baubasaur (leaf type monster). Youll have a rival usually name Gary; hell get to choose one too. After that, youll leave Pallet Town and your journey begins. Hint: youll have to listen to what other people says in the game so you know what to do. There are cheats out there for these games but its going to be more fun if you dont use them.
-Silver/Gold/Crystal: All stay the same as R/B/G/Y except for these:
1) Many newer Pokemon.
2) Some old Pokemon from R/B/G/Y will not appear.
4) Newer region (Johto) and places (cities, towns, dungeons...)
5) You do not start in Pallet Town, instead another town that I cant seem to remember the name.
6) Your tutor will not be Professor Oak, instead another prof. I cant seem to remember the name.
7) Your starting Pokemon will be cindaquil (fire), tododile (water), and chikorita (leaf).
8) Some gym leaders will use different type of Pokemon.
9) The Elite 4 will use different type of Pokemon.
10) You get to travel 2 regions, the S/G/C region and B/R/G/Y region.
11) Different style PC, backpack, pokeball.
12) Will have berries trees and the picture quality is much better.
-Emerald: I dont have any information for this game b/c Ive never play it before.
-Ruby/Sapphire: These new versions brought Pokemon to the whole new level. They have all the features that the old ones has but much much better. Very few Pokemon from the previous games will appear, almost all the Pokemon in these versions are new. Same missions. Youll get to meet new people, gym leaders, Elite four. Graphic quality is alsm. You can see the pokeballs very clearly. The brand new feature of these games is it has 2 on 2 battle which you can battle with 2 pokemon at a time.
- FireRed/LeafGreen: Exactly the same as R/B/G/Y, only that the graphic quality is better and has much features from the Ruby/Sapphire version. But still be very boring if you already played R/B/G/Y.
Ffhheww now its done. Finally, enjoy^^.
R/B - Original, classic, not spoiled so much by all the commerce. I used to play them for months at a time.
Y - Inspired by the anime. I'm not a big fan of the anime.
G/S - Cool graphics; I love the new additions - eggs, held items. Also, I like the legendary pokemon from these versions ^_~
C - Not as much fun. Sure, there's a Trainer Tower, but you can beat it pretty easily. The new stuff in the Ruins of Alph is a joke, especially when you take into account how many Unown the game's intro has. And, Suicune is too easy to catch.
R/S - The graphics are naturally the best. I didn't get into the Contest stuff that much, but I guess it's a nice addition. The other new stuff in these games is pretty boring and unoriginal when compared to the previous versions. What I like most is the reworked battle system; it makes much more sense when HP has its own DV, the EVs are much clearer etc.
FR/LG - If you get into Pokemon now, buy these. Original story+new graphics...... The additions are not that big.
I'm a.... Owner of a Fanart Gallery / Admin at a nice forum / Member of Team Aqua / What else could one ask for?
Where are you, Chareon?

Can you deduct your legal fees for a divorce, alimony, or related expenses? Generally, the IRS says no. Here are some rules that may help.
The IRS prohibits any deduction for the cost of personal advice, counseling and legal action in a divorce. For example, no write-off for what a husband spends to resist his wife's demands for more alimony or to set aside a prenuptial property agreement.
The portion of legal fees specifically paid (usually by the wife) to collect alimony that is taxable to her can be included, just like the cost of preparing her return, with her other itemized deductibles on Schedule A of Form 1040. The place to claim the fees is on the Schedule A line for "other expenses." This break is available for the original proceeding by which she procures taxable alimony, as well as for any subsequent proceeding to increase it or collect arrears. But these legal fees and most other miscellaneous deductions are allowable only to the extent that their total in any one year exceeds two percent of her AGI, short for adjusted gross income. AGI is the amount listed on Form 1040 after reporting salaries and other sources of income and claiming certain deductions such as alimony payments and money moved into retirement plans. For someone with an AGI of $100,000 and miscellaneous outlays of $10,000, the two percent floor shrinks the deduction to just $8,000 – what is left after the $10,000 is offset by $2,000, which is two percent of $100,000. In no event can she deduct the cost of obtaining income that is not taxable to her – say, back child support or temporary alimony while a joint return was still being filed.
Subject to the two percent benchmark for miscellaneous expenses, you get to deduct fees that cover tax research and advice on such items as property transfers and dependency exemptions for the children. But you can do so only if the bill specifies in a reasonable way how much is for tax counseling. Moreover, there is no deduction at all for your payment of your spouse's legal fees, even if they are for tax advice only. The deduction is allowed just for advice you receive about your own tax problems.
Does your attorney's services include counseling on taxes? Remind the attorney to prepare a bill that breaks down deductible and nondeductible charges. That way, assuming you overcome the two percent hurdle, you are able to substantiate your deduction in the event of an audit. According to IRS Revenue Ruling 72-245, the agency will accept a lawyer's allocation of his or her fee between tax and nontax matters where the attorney allocates primarily on the basis of the amount of time attributable to each, the customary charge in the locality for similar services and the results obtained in the divorce negotiations.

HarperCollins 544pp £20 order from our bookshop
JANE DUNN REMARKS that for Elizabeth Tudor and Mary Queen of Scots 'the most compelling relationship in their lives' was that which bound them together. The way in which they were pitted against each other dominated their existence and has shaped how they are viewed by history. And yet, despite the fact that the relationship was so pivotal to both of them, they never met.

The last method of evaluating games that we'll discuss this month is by how complicated they are, with a particular focus on how easy or difficult they are to teach. Even if you've decided a given game is worth the money, and you've decided it fits into your collection, there are certain situations when a game is simply too complicated to be appropriate for a particular setting.
The New Player Problem
The new player problem can affect how we evaluate games both at the point of purchase ("this game looks great and is a fine value for the money, but it looks like such a pain to teach that it's not worth it") and at the table ("we haven't played this game in so long, but Mike doesn't know how to play, so it's going to take far too long once we've explained everything").
Of course, there are plenty of great resources out there dedicated to explaining how to teach games. We'll cover those at the end, but since we're primarily focused on game design, let's start with what design factors can make a game easier or more difficult to teach.

Tax Tips: I just got married (or divorced)! What do I do?
The key to successfully filing your taxes if your marital status is in flux is having the correct name on the tax return. Your name on the tax return must match the name on file with the Social Security Administration. Any difference will likely cause a delay in your refund.
So... if you got married in 2007 and took your husband's last name in your daily life, but did not change your name with SSA yet... use your maiden name on the tax return. At all costs.. use whatever name Social Security has on file for your tax return.
