Cubature (Multi-dimensional integration)
From AbInitio
(diff) ←Older revision | Current revision | Newer revision→ (diff)
Steven G. Johnson has written a simple C subroutine for adaptive multidimensional integration (cubature) of vector-valued integrands over hypercubes, i.e. to compute integrals of the form:
(Of course, it can handle scalar integrands as the special case where is a one-dimensional vector: the dimensionalities of and are independent.) The code, which is distributed as free software under the terms of the GNU General Public License (v2 or later), is based on the algorithms described in:
- A. C. Genz and A. A. Malik, "An adaptive algorithm for numeric integration over an N-dimensional rectangular region," J. Comput. Appl. Math. 6 (4), 295–302 (1980).
- J. Berntsen, T. O. Espelid, and A. Genz, "An adaptive algorithm for the approximate calculation of multiple integrals," ACM Trans. Math. Soft. 17 (4), 437–451 (1991).
(Note that we do not use any of the original DCUHRE code by Genz, which is not under a free/open-source license.) Our code is based in part on code borrowed from the HIntLib numeric-integration library by Rudolf Schürer and (for 1d integrals) from code for Gauss-Kronrod quadrature from the GNU Scientific Library, both of which are free software under the GNU GPL.
I am also grateful to Dmitry Turbiner (dturbiner ατ alum.mit.edu), who implemented an initial prototype of the "vectorized" functionality for evaluating multiple points in a single call (as opposed to multiple functions in a single call).
The current version of the code can be downloaded from:
a gzipped tar file. This unpacks to a directory containing a
README file with instructions and a stand-alone
cubature.c file that you can compile and link into your program, and a header file
cubature.h that you
#include. (The
cubature.c code is small enough that it doesn't seem worthwhile to go to the trouble of installing it as a library.) The
cubature.c also contains a little test program which is produced if you compile that file with
-DTEST_INTEGRATOR (and is commented out otherwise), as described below.
B. Narasimhan wrote a GNU R interface for these routines, which can be downloaded here: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/cubature/index.html.
You should compile
cubature.c and link it with your program, and
#include the header file
The central subroutine you will be calling is:
int adapt_integrate(unsigned fdim, integrand f, void *fdata, unsigned dim, const double *xmin, const double *xmax, unsigned maxEval, double reqAbsError, double reqRelError, double *val, double *err);
This integrates a function F(x), returning a vector of FDIM integrands, where x is a DIM-dimensional vector ranging from XMIN to XMAX (i.e. in a hypercube XMINi ≤ xi ≤ XMAXi).
MAXEVAL specifies a maximum number of function evaluations (0 for no limit). Otherwise, the integration stops when the estimated |error| is less than REQABSERROR (the absolute error requested), or when the estimated |error| is less than REQRELERROR × |integral value| (the relative error requested). (Either of the error tolerances can be set to zero to ignore it.)
VAL and ERR are arrays of length FDIM, which upon return are the computed integral values and estimated errors, respectively. (The estimated errors are based on an embedded cubature rule of lower order; for smooth functions, this estimate is usually conservative.)
The return value of adapt_integrate is 0 on success and nonzero if there was an error (currently, only out-of-memory situations).
The integrand function F should be a function of the form:
void f(unsigned ndim, const double *x, void *fdata, unsigned fdim, double *fval);
Here, the input is an array X of length NDIM (the point to be evaluated), the output is an array FVAL of length FDIM (the vector of function values at the point X).
The FDATA argument of F is equal to the FDATA argument passed to
adapt_integrate—this can be used by the caller to pass any additional information through to F as needed (rather than using global variables, which are not re-entrant). If F does not need any additional data, you can just pass FDATA =
NULL and ignore the FDATA argument to F.
As a simple example, consider the Gaussian integral of the scalar function over the hypercube [ − 2,2]3 in 3 dimensions. You could compute this integral via code that looks like:
#include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> #include "cubature.h" void f(unsigned ndim, const double *x, void *fdata, unsigned fdim, double *fval) { double sigma = *((double *) fdata); // we can pass σ via fdata argument double sum = 0; int i; for (i = 0; i < ndim; ++i) sum += x[i] * x[i]; // compute the output value: note that fdim should == 1 from below fval[0] = exp(-sigma * sum); }
then, later in the program where we call
{ double xmin[3] = {-2,-2,-2}, xmax[3] = {2,2,2}, sigma = 0.5, val, err; adapt_integrate(1, f, &sigma, 3, xmin, xmax, 0, 0, 1e-4, &val, &err); printf("Computed integral = %0.10g +/- %g\n", val, err); }
Here, we have specified a relative error tolerance of 10 − 4 (and no absolute error tolerance or maximum number of function evaluations). Note also that, to demonstrate the
fdata parameter, we have used it to pass the σ value through to our function (rather than hard-coding the value of σ in
f or using a global variable).
The output should be:
Computed integral = 13.69609043 +/- 0.00136919
Note that the estimated relative error is 0.00136919/13.69609043 = 9.9969×10–5, within our requested tolerance of 10 − 4. The actual error in the integral value, as can be determined e.g. by running the integration with a much lower tolerance, is much smaller: the integral is too small by about 0.00002, for an actual relative error of about 1.4×10–6. As mentioned above, for smooth integrands the estimated error is almost always conservative (which means, unfortunately, that the integrator usually does more function evaluations than it needs to).
"Vectorized" interface
These integration algorithms evaluate the integrand in "batches" of points at a time. It is useful to have access to this information so that your integrand function is not called for one point at a time, but rather for a whole "vector" of points at once. For example, you may want to evaluate the integrand in parallel at different points. This functionality is available by calling:
int adapt_integrate_v(unsigned fdim, integrand_v f, void *fdata, unsigned dim, const double *xmin, const double *xmax, unsigned maxEval, double reqAbsError, double reqRelError, double *val, double *err);
All of the arguments and the return value are identical to
adapt_integrate, above, except that now the integrand
F is of type
integrand_v, corresponding to a function of a different form.
The integrand function F should now be a function of the form:
void f(unsigned ndim, unsigned npts, const double *x, void *fdata, unsigned fdim, double *fval);
Now, X is not a single point, but an array of NPTS points (length NPTS⋅NDIM), and upon return the values of all FDIM integrands at all NPTS points should be stored in FVAL (length FDIM⋅NPTS). In particular,
x[i*ndim + j] is the
j-th coordinate of the
i-th point (
npts and
ndim), and the
k-th function evaluation (
fdim) for the
i-th point is returned in
fval[k*npt + i].
Test program
To compile a test program, just compile
cubature.c while #defining
TEST_INTEGRATOR, e.g. (on Unix or GNU/Linux) via:
cc -DTEST_INTEGRATOR -o cubature_test cubature.c -lm
The usage is then:
./cubature_test <dim> <tol> <integrand> <maxeval>
where <dim> = # dimensions, <tol> = relative tolerance, <integrand> is 0–7 for one of eight possible test integrands (see below) and <maxeval> is the maximum number of function evaluations (0 for none, the default).
The different test integrands are:
- 0: a product of cosine functions
- 1: a Gaussian integral of exp(-x^2), remapped to [0,infinity) limits
- 2: volume of a hypersphere (integrating a discontinuous function!)
- 3: a simple polynomial (product of coordinates)
- 4: a Gaussian centered in the middle of the integration volume
- 5: a sum of two Gaussians
- 6: an example function by Tsuda, a product of terms with near poles
- 7: a test integrand by Morokoff and Caflisch, a simple product of dim-th roots of the coordinates (weakly singular at the boundary)
For example:
./cubature_test 3 1e-5 4
integrates the Gaussian function (4) to a desired relative error tolerance of 10–5 in 3 dimensions. The output is:
3-dim integral, tolerance = 1e-05 integrand 4: integral = 1, est err = 9.99952e-06, true err = 2.54397e-08 #evals = 82203
Notice that it finds the integral after 82203 function evaluations with an estimated error of about 10–5, but the true error (compared to the exact result) is much smaller (2.5×10–8): the error estimation is typically conservative when applied to smooth functions like this.

Increased usage reflects a country where many middle-skilled, middle-income jobs have been eliminated
The number of Canadians using food banks has declined slightly, but persistent demand indicates many are struggling in a frail economic recovery.
More than 851,000 individuals visited a food bank in March alone, a number that's little changed from last year's record and still 26 per cent above prerecession levels, Food Banks Canada's annual survey, to be released Tuesday, shows.
The findings reveal that recipients span the spectrum. Nearly 100,000 of them are first-time users and one in five actually has a job or has recently been employed. More than one in ten are immigrants or refugees – many of whom are highly educated, and usage is growing among seniors.
"We think we're coming out of a recession, but this is telling us that many Canadians are still really struggling," said Katharine Schmidt, executive director of the association.
Food-bank usage is one of the more tangible measures of how society is faring. It's worth paying attention to because it gives a "true depiction" of the challenges that low-income people are facing, said Craig Alexander, chief economist at Toronto-Dominion Bank.
Increased usage reflects a number of shifts in the economy, he said. While the number of jobs lost in the recession has been recouped, many new positions aren't as well-paid as the former ones. Wage growth has not kept pace with inflation. Globalization, outsourcing and technological changes have eliminated many middle-skilled, middle-income jobs. And displaced factory workers are having trouble re-entering the work force.
"One of the underlying stories that gets missed by the fact that Canada is doing better than many of its peers is that we have pressures for many low-income people, and not everyone is benefiting equally from the economic recovery," Mr. Alexander said.
The findings show 18 per cent of food-bank recipients are part of the working poor – people who have earnings from a current or recent job.
Chris Kozloff, 48, falls into that boat. The resident of Kakabeka Falls in northern Ontario lives in a household of six, including her two children. Both she and her husband are employed – she works full-time in a Zellers shoe department. But it pays little more than minimum wage. Rising food and gasoline prices are eating into her family's budget, forcing her to rely on the local food bank.
"There is such a big need out there, and it's only increasing," she said.
In Edmonton, John Kaliel is also squeezed. He spent nearly 40 years in the telecom industry, but broke his leg on the job several years ago. Since then, he's had to rely on a disability payout of $585 a month plus a small pension. The 59-year-old pays $420 in rent, leaving little left over for basics such as medicine, clothing – and food.
"I'm hoping to go back to work," he said, once his knee improves. "But at my age, it's hard to start something new."
Like others, he is struck by the broad range of people he sees while in the two-hour lineup to receive groceries. The survey's stats back that up: Almost half of recipients are women and girls. One in ten is aboriginal. One in four are individuals from dual-parent families with kids. Seven per cent are homeowners and 4 per cent are post-secondary students.
Donations have not kept pace with increased pressures on food banks, Ms. Schmidt said. Half of the agencies provided less food to each household than before because they're trying to stretch their resources. One in three said they didn't have enough food this year. Thirty per cent said they ran out of funds. High gas prices are driving up transportation costs and some food banks that have to buy food to fill gaps in donated goods are feeling the pinch of rising prices.
Food banks weren't supposed to become a permanent presence. Many started in the 1980s as an emergency stopgap as workers were losing their factory or forestry jobs. Usage declined steadily through the economic boom of the mid-2000s – only to shoot up in the recession and remain elevated ever since.
The still-high figures aren't surprising to John Stapleton, a fellow at the Metcalf Foundation who has scrutinized income trends for the past 35 years. He notes that, with the exception of Saskatchewan, social-assistance caseloads in every province west of Quebec are still above prerecession levels, and that welfare rates have not kept up with inflation.
In Ontario, for example, a single person who receives $592 a month from welfare typically spends almost all of that on rent. "So people have enough to eat for a week, and then become urban nomads who ride their bike or walk from food program to food program in search of the next meal."
He and other policy makers lament the dearth of information about income status in Canada. The federal government no longer produces national welfare statistics, and not all provinces publish their social-assistance caseloads. Unlike the U.S., Statistics Canada doesn't publish how many unemployed people run out of EI without finding work. And the agency's data on incomes is published with a two-year lag – meaning the last national indicator on poverty rates is from 2009.
The gap between the poor and the rich is widening, a recent Conference Board of Canada paper found. It said income disparity has risen more rapidly in Canada than in most of its peer countries, including the United States, since the mid-1990s.
Tuesday's survey lists several recommendations to help alleviate hunger in Canada. Affordable housing is at the top of the list, since shelter costs typically consume more than half of incomes. Other measures include updating EI to reflect the current reality of a more fluid job market.
Without steps like these, "expect health care and social service costs to rise," Ms. Schmidt said. "And we are missing the opportunity to improve the quality of life for all Canadians."

Dr. Cox, Mary Ellen and Dr. Jack McConnell
President Monson is known for helping others at every possible opportunity, from the dozens of widows he helped as a bishop to members everywhere whom he helps with his kind words of love and encouragement.
In the video about his life, On the Lord's Errand, President Monson says, "The sweetest experience I know in life is to feel a prompting and act upon it, and later find out that it was the fulfillment of someone's prayer or someone's need. And I always want the Lord to know that if He needs an errand run, Tom Monson will run that errand for Him."
President Monson often preaches what he practices, encouraging members to help those around them. Teaching Scouts to live the Slogan, "Do a Good Turn Daily," is easier through stories, and President Monson often shares stories of people helping others. In October 2009, he posed this question: "
A few years ago I read an article written by Jack McConnell, MD. He grew up in the hills of southwest Virginia in the United States as one of seven children of a Methodist minister and a stay-at-home mother. Their circumstances were very humble. He recounted that during his childhood, every day as the family sat around the dinner table, his father would ask each one in turn, "And what did you do for someone today?"1 The children were determined to do a good turn every day so they could report to their father that they had helped someone. Dr. McConnell calls this exercise his father's most valuable legacy, for that expectation and those words inspired him and his siblings to help others throughout their lives. As they grew and matured, their motivation for providing service changed to an inner desire to help others.
Besides Dr. McConnell's distinguished medical career—where he directed the development of the tuberculosis tine test, participated in the early development of the polio vaccine, supervised the development of Tylenol, and was instrumental in developing the magnetic resonance imaging procedure, or MRI—he created an organization he calls Volunteers in Medicine, which gives retired medical personnel a chance to volunteer at free clinics serving the working uninsured. Dr. McConnell said his leisure time since he retired has "evaporated into 60-hour weeks of unpaid work, but [his] energy level has increased and there is a satisfaction in [his] life that wasn't there before." He made this statement: "In one of those paradoxes of life, I have benefited more from Volunteers in Medicine than my patients have."2 There are now over 70 such clinics across the United States.
Of course, we can't all be Dr. McConnells, establishing medical clinics to help the poor; however, the needs of others are ever present, and each of us can do something to help someone.
The Apostle Paul admonished, "By love serve one another."3Recall with me the familiar words of King Benjamin in the Book of Mormon: "When ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God."4
Because of President Monson's attitude of service, he has helped hundreds of thousands of people personally and millions through his teaching and leadership. How can you follow his example and be more helpful?
Thomas S. Monson | LDS Church President (Taken from his remarks in October 2009 general conference, "What Have I Done for Someone Today?" )

Kadimah Academy- Forward-thinking with appreciation of the past
|April 12, 2016
Learning to converse in Hebrew and understanding its historic development into a modern spoken language has been a core focus of middle-school students at Kadimah Academy.
As a community Jewish day school, Hebrew is a major component of the curriculum at Kadimah. Students as young as 3 years old begin learning and speaking Hebrew in the Ganon, which is the only semi-immersion Hebrew program available to parents of pre-school children in Western New York. The emphasis on Hebrew as the language of the Bible and prayers continues through grade 8, with Biblical studies and prayers exploration.
Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, known as the "reviver of the Hebrew language," promoted his belief that if children could learn Hebrew from a young age in school, they would become virtually unilingual in Hebrew when they grew up. In his words: "The Hebrew language will go from the synagogue to the house of study, and from the house of study to the school, and from the school it will come into the home and… become a living language." (Hatzvi, 1886) Kadimah Academy institutes this philosophy throughout the school day, and this year, the middle school students under teacher Michal Shmuel Lewis have incorporated an additional piece in their Hebrew studies.
Lewis' emphasis on high-level Hebrew academics led her to incorporate an Israeli school textbook used in Israel by Israeli students and published by Israel's Ministry of Education. The text is advanced and the content is very relevant. Middle school students are learning about the development of the modern Hebrew language, and the life, philosophies and achievements of Eliezer ben Yehuda.
The students are engaged in various activities, such as building vocabulary, finding word roots, and analyzing both written and oral texts. By becoming proficient Hebrew-language speakers, they adopt Hebrew as the symbol of their linguistic nationalism. It strengthens and solidifies their link with Israel and Israelis. When Kadimah students visit Israel, the link is sealed. Moreover, Kadimah students' commitment to Hebrew and Israel is evidenced when our alumni continue to learn Hebrew, visit Israel or make Aliyah.
On Yom Ha-Atzmaut, this year on May 12, students will prepare presentations to the rest of the school about Eliezer Ben-Yehuda. The celebrations will be open to the community,. To make a reservation to join Kadimah for an 11:30 a.m. lunch, please call 716-836-6903.
Current Kadimah Academy students thank Morah Talia Berkowitz, Morah Becky Laufgraben, Morah Naomi Cowen, Rabbi Joshua Strosberg and Morah Michal Lewis for being phenomenal teachers! Kadimah alumni thank the many previous teachers for inculcating a love and mastery of the Hebrew language.

Erectile dysfunction drugs Walmart – What is the best erectile dysfunction drug available in Walmart?
Click here to learn how Reignite Plus can help you!
Erectile dysfunction concerns the incompetence of men to attain and preserve an erection which is sufficient for a satisfying sexual intercourse. Not all erection problems are considered immediately as impotence because studies say that experiencing a form of erection problem is normal in a man's life, however, if it happens regularly, it may already be considered as a symptom of impotence.
Several factors are considered to contribute to this condition's development which may include conditions such as diabetes, atherosclerosis, and external factors like medications, vices, and biological variables including age. These factors are usually used as basis for doctors to plan treatment options for patients which may vary from others who are suffering from the same condition.
There are several factors to be considered before treatments are presented to the patient. These factors may include age, the probable underlying cause of the condition, the ability of the patient to cope up with the side effects of the treatment if ever there are, the patient's lifestyle, his treatment needs, the severity of the condition and the overall health status of the patient.
Men who show mild symptoms of the condition may likely be treated with certain lifestyle changes. Those who may have acquired the problem psychologically may be treated with behavioral therapies together with medications; however, drugs are also used for biologically acquired impotence but are usually combined with lifestyle modifications.
There are cases wherein men choose to be treated with natural supplements rather than medications. Some doctors do not see anything wrong with this choice since herbal supplements have long been used for treatment as well as prevention and maintenance of consumer's health.
Most supplements for erectile dysfunction use extracts from plants such as ginseng, ginkgo, tongkat ali and horny goat weed. The combination of these herbs is not only proven to reverse the symptoms of the condition but also prevent it from recurring, which is also the function of traditional medications.
For cases involving men who do not respond to medications, they may be recommended to use vacuum devices for them to achieve erection. Vacuum pumps help by drawing blood towards the penis through suction. For some, surgeries may be required because of the complexity of their conditions. Some of the common surgeries used for erectile problems are penile implants and vascular reconstruction or bypass.

Dartmouth Biomedical Engineering Center, Thayer School of Engineering, Hanover, NH 03755
The long-term success of a total knee replacement depends on the wear performance of a polyethylene bearing that separates a metal femoral component from a metal tibial tray. Although fixed bearing designs secure the polyethylene bearing to the tibial tray, mobile bearing knees allow the polyethylene to move relative to the tibial tray. This study has evaluated the wear performance of an intended articulation on the inferior surface of the LCS®-Rotating Platform mobile bearing by conducting clinically relevant tribological testing and comparing results to retrieved knee bearings. A retrieval analysis leads to the conclusion that third-body particles in the contact produce curvilinear scratches longer than the expected rotation of the knee on both the polyethylene bearing and the CoCr tibial tray. Tribological testing shows that polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement particles produce worn surfaces most similar to retrievals. Porous-coating beads and bone debris also have the ability to damage both surfaces. Worn polyethylene surfaces from pin-on-flat tests show scratches longer than the excursion length, and "skipping marks"—pits spaced at smaller rotation intervals along a scratch—as observed in retrievals. These wear features suggest that a ratcheting mechanism, which moves the third-body particles further along the scratch with each cycle, may be responsible for the observed wear.
Curvilinear scratching on retrieved UHMWPE bearing back surface (left) and mating CoCr surface (right). The prosthesis had served in vivo for 154months before retrieval. Note that the scratches are longer than the expected arc of rotation (about ±5deg).

Need to get those creative juices flowing in order to spruce up your casa?? Check out some of these before and afters with links on how to =)
1) Turn your rarely used holiday-formal-dining room into a game room! Instead of an art gallery wall, make a Game Gallery Wall like I did here! Simply throw up some shelving (mine comes from hobby lobby [don't forget to use your online 40% off coupon) display your favorite games (my mom and I went to goodwill to find classic games at an affordable price) and add some foam-board baking to make them stand up sturdy if the games boards fold! The ping pong table was purchased from Wal-mart and can easily be converted into a large dining room table with the net removed and a nice table cloth 😉
2) Give your builder-grade kitchen an upgrade!!!
Below is the original boring kitchen with the classic first-home formica counter tops, outdated brass light fixtures and standard oak colored cabinets without knobs.
Checkout my Kitchen Makeover & How to Paint your Kitchen Cabinets here
3) Another inexpensive trick, paint your standard white interior doors black for a custom look.
3) Take your old plain master bathroom from drab to fab =) See what I was working with below… Plain design, white everything, formica counter tops and worst of all…CARPETING IN THE BATHROOM>>> I mean, who purposefully chooses that?!?
Click the link to see how I created a FEATURE WALL with DAMASK STENCIL
check out my FAVORITE FLOORING PRODUCT FOR BATHROOMS
4) Another prime example of a standard builder-grade bathroom =(
My guest bath got a latte paint job, granite installed and a fun d.i.y birch tree decal.
Want some more ideas, click the link for
5) For the longest time, my guest bedroom was not looking soo inviting….
See how I created this design on a dime for LESS THAN $250 =)
6) Transform your outdoor space! My original setup had great potential, but lacked the perfect spot to enjoy it.
Since I love the outdoors and purchased the home overlooking a greenbelt, I used the Lowe's Online Deck Designer Tool to help my vision become a reality!! I wish I could claim that I build this deck, but that's a big negativo. I did however stain it myself and you can check out the paint I used to prevent your deck from rotting =)
View from the porch =)
I hope you enjoyed the tour and learned some simple and easy ways to customize your casa!
Happy Decorating,
Kelley B.

The first decade of the 21st century draws to an end when the small state of Serbia all of a sudden turns into a sizzling hotspot of the Trance scene.
Among the major reasons being the duo Sideform, made up by Drasko Radovanovic and Milos Modrinic from Belgrade. the duo give an exciting new spin to Progressive Trance, breaking new grounds in terms of sound. A change many fans of the genre have been waiting for eagerly, as the considerable international success of their project proves!
When listening to Sideform, one of the most prominent features is the sheer quality and acoustic pressure of their productions. For a good reason: Drasko and Milos meet during a professional audio engineer training in 2006. Both being avid about studio technology and Trance music, they start working together. Already their first EPs provide extremely catchy, fresh and kicking tunes. When the EPs 'Kiss Of Fire' and 'Muzik' are released in 2010, Sideform enters the upper league and is invited to play at some of the most popular festival and parties all around the world. The debut album 'Moving On' gains great feedback in 2011, it is named after the creative paradigm of Sideform…
The live sets of Drasko and Milos put their audience in a rousing state of tension between Progressive Trance and Psytrance. Fuelled by two creative minds and their different, yet complementary ideas, this is another main feature of Sideform: A sound that is unpredictable, full of stimulating surprises, but at the same time highly consistent and smooth.

It is clear after six, if not 18, months of the slowdown or meltdown that the policies adopted with much enthusiasm by the governments of the United States and Britain are not working.
Bank recapitalisation is not yielding the desired results in terms of a resumption of flow of credit between banks and from the banks to businesses. Meanwhile, the cost of recapitalisation is rising. The US treasury secretary Timothy Geithner has put forward plans that will spend the $350bn remaining in Hank Paulson's Troubled Asset Relief Programme (Tarp) funds, and is expected to approach Congress for more. No one is sure of the size of the toxic asset hole. In the UK, which pioneered the process, both RBS and HBOS are proving to be massive holes and it looks as if much more money may be required to recapitalise Lloyds Bank , or to nationalise it and perhaps RBS as well.
Recapitalising banks without reforming them only valorises their bad debts; indeed that is the nature of the cure proposed. It is the hair of the dog solution. Since the extent of their bad debts is not known, the size of the cure is also difficult to estimate. The desire on part of the policy makers seems to be to relaunch the errant banks on the course they have just been forced to abandon – lend more to anyone who will ask for a loan.
It could be that the world needs fewer but better banks rather than the same banks recapitalised and unrestructured. The financial meltdown is reminiscent of Hayek's 1930s theory of the cycle in which it was the malinvestments (bad investments) on part of the banks, induced by excessively cheap money (market rate of interest below the natural rate of interest) which eventually become unsustainable. At that stage, the interest rate gap reverses and the market rate exceeds the natural rate. Whatever rate the central banks may be willing to lend at, the commercial banks have put up their interest rates in a classic Hayekian fashion. Hence the slowdown. The cure is to allow more banks to fail than has been the case so far. This is perhaps a painful but effective way of getting rid of malinvestments or, as they are now called, toxic assets. The mistake in the US was to allow Bear Stearns to be rescued, which only deluded Lehman Brothers into thinking they will be also saved. Letting HBOS go may, in hindsight, have been better than merging it with Lloyds.
While the financial system meltdown is continuing to cause problems with no end in sight, the weakness of the real economy is getting worse. Here again, there have been fiscal packages that have been launched in both the US and UK (also elsewhere in the eurozone). But they do not seem to be halting the slide into larger numbers of unemployed, bankruptcies, home repossessions.
It was said at the time of the crisis taking a sharp turn last September that this was a revival of Keynesian remedies, after years of neglect. Public spending was good; deficits were not bad. Debt to gross domestic product ratios should not get in the way of a recovery plan to restore full employment.
It is quite possible that the cure is not working because the diagnosis is false. A Keynesian recession is caused by too much saving and lack of effective demand. It occurs when there is excess capacity and unemployed people with no demand to match the supply. But it is undisputed that the years preceding the crisis saw large indebtedness on part of consumers, and, indeed, as far as the US and UK are concerned, governments as well. George Bush may have had many faults, but in terms of fiscal policy he was an uber-Keynesian. Even Gordon Brown had abandoned prudence after the 2005 elections. Budget deficits were the rule, not the exception. America ran a trade deficit as well as a budget deficit and so on a smaller scale did UK. Both economies encouraged consumption by offering tax cuts and/or cheap credit. (EU economies perhaps did less of this, and their problems are a result of the financial meltdown.)
It is arguable that the financial meltdown is confusing policymakers and creating a misdiagnosis of the recession. The collapse of the interbank credit market is drying up credit to businesses, and this in itself is causing firms to slow down or shut down production. This supply crisis is causing firms to lay off workers, which in turn leads to their failure to honour mortgage commitments. The problem on demand side is not about a lack, but the fact that the consumers have realised, even if governments have not, that their consumption levels hitherto enjoyed are unsustainable. They need to retrench and pay off their debts. This is the reason why fiscal stimulus packages that are designed to make consumers spend more are not working. It is not just that the consumer suspects the taxpayer will come to claw back this largesse soon enough. But the size of the debt burden has also come home to consumers as equity in homes is shrinking and banks cannot accommodate them any longer. The consumer needs to, wants to save more.
Infrastructure spending, as and when it happens, will take its time to work. It may stem the rise in unemployment, but only if the unemployed are suitable for such projects. Housebuilding has collapsed and the workers there are redeployable in infrastructure. But the workers laid off due to supply crisis of firms short of credit cannot be taken on in infrastructure projects. Keynesian policy assumes that the pool of unemployed are unskilled manual workers ready to dig holes anywhere. This may not be true any longer.
Mervyn King, the Bank of England governor, said last week that people had to be bad for a while before they could be good, that is, carry on as usual for now and save later. But consumers cannot see the logic of that. They would need to believe that not saving now would lead to such a large and sustained increase in future income that their past debts as well as the new debts the authorities are encouraging them to take on, will be serviceable. But if that were the case, why did it not happen before? Why have they fallen into a sustainability trap?
As in the case of banks, so in the case of consumers, perhaps the easy solution is the one that will not work. By postponing the painful cure, the agony is only being prolonged. Businesses need credit to increase supply and keep workers on. The Bank of England may yet be able to lend money directly to businesses. But they will have to find export markets while consumers tighten their belts and pay off debts. One of the many things Keynes taught us was about identities or sums adding up government dis-savings have to be matched by savings somewhere else in the economy, either from consumers or businesses. If we want businesses to go on investing, then where are the savings going to come from to finance government debt ? Can we rely on the Chinese, or will it be the IMF?

33 year old Tim Hola has finished in the top 50 at the Ironman World Championships in Kona and in the top 20 at Ironman Florida among many other great results. He sat down for an interview with us.
ST: Tim, can you tell us which race result you are most proud of?
Tim: I am proud of many results but the top result has to be when I placed 2nd in my age group at Ironman Hawaii in 2006. It was also the first time I broke the 9 hour mark. That race marked my 8th trip to Hawaii and it seemed like that day all of the hard work, & dedication I put into that race over the last 8 years paid off. It certainly was a bonus knowing that I was the 5th American. It just goes to show that if you put enough time & effort into something you want, you'll get it.
ST: Have you ever considered turning professional?
Tim: Yes, I have considered it, but I am really happy in the place that I am in now. Meaning that as an age grouper I still face some good competition out there, which makes my races more fun and challenging. If I was a professional, I realistically wouldn't be racing for the overall win in the bigger races. Besides, working full time and having 1 year old twins probably would not help my career as a pro too much.
ST: What is your favorite race and why?
Tim: That is a tough one. There are so many races that I love to do. I would have to say that Kona obviously is a special place for me in Ironman Hawaii, simply because it's the race that I strived to get to when I was just starting out in triathlons. However, Ironman Florida might have to edge it out just a tad. You see, my family and I have been going to Panama City Beach, FL even before triathlons were put on the map. Our family would drive from where I grew up in Fort Dodge, IA to Panama City Beach every summer since I was 7 years old. We loved the beaches and I quickly found a connection to that city. It just seemed natural to participate in Ironman Florida and luckily all 5 of my trips to that race have been very memorable in a good way! Another event I like is the Pikes Peak Ascent. It poses the ultimate challenge of running to the top of a 14,110ft peak gaining some 7,815 vertical feet of elevation. No matter how in shape you are in, it really humbles you!
ST: What do you do to recover from an Ironman race?
Tim: Well, not too much. As for most long distance athletes, we hate to see a day go by without doing something, and it's no different for me. However, I know that recovery from an Ironman is important so I typically don't do anything for 2 days after the race. Then I will swim about 3,000 on the 3rd day, possibly bike easy on the 4th day. I'll run on the 8th day after the race just to see what my body can handle. It all really depends on how the race went. The weeks after each Ironman I've done, I have sometimes felt really good, and some I just needed more time for my body to heal.
ST: Can you tell us about your athletic background?
Tim: Ever since I can remember, I was raised to believe that keeping in shape and being physically active is important in life. After being exposed to many sports when I was younger, swimming seemed to be my ticket and that's really what I focused on from age 7 through high school. I wasn't a state champion or anything, but I did swim in state meets each year, and swam year round. It was in college, that I could not get onto the swim team at the University of Iowa, so I resorted to rowing. I thank God for that because it was that sport that introduced me to running. I rowed for 3 ½ years in college, then did my first marathon in 1994, and soon was recruited by my dad to do a local triathlon with him in Des Moines in 1995. And here we are 13 years later still racing, and yes, my dad still races too.
ST: What does a typical training week look like for you?
Tim: It really depends on the year, but in general I take Mondays off, Tuesday I'll swim/lift and/or bike, Wednesday I run & ride, Thursday I'll swim & ride, Friday I'll ride & run, Saturday I'll ride and /or run, and Sunday I'll run long. I have been doing that schedule as long as I can remember. I am working with a coach this year and have done some testing at the International Center for Performance & Health (www.icphbalance.com) here in Denver and it's been helping me out a lot with my biking. It's kind of like an Olympic training center for the public and it's an amazing place!
ST: What are you doing in terms of activities in the off-season?
Tim: I still continue to swim/bike/run and lift weights. Sometimes I'll go to the gym and hit the ergometer (rowing machine) for about an hour or so. It's a wonderful full body workout and, if done properly, can leave you as pooped as an hour run! My wife and I also do a good amount of snowshoeing and snowshoe races. There are many here in Colorado, and each effort results in high heart rates and a very taxed body! They are some of the more fun races that I do because you just never know what you'll expect on a snowshoe race course whether it is packed snow or deep powder.
ST: Can you tell us what you have on schedule for the 2008 season?
Tim: My big races this year will include Strongman Japan and Ironman Hawaii. Strongman Japan is just shy of an Ironman distance race held on a tiny island in-between Japan and Taiwan. It's April 20th so I am already getting geared up for the training in the next month or so. I'll end the season with my 10th trip in a row to Ironman Hawaii and I am so very excited to test myself again under the Hawaiian sun. I'll also do some other of the 70.3 races such as Kansas and California along with a few ½ marathons and the Pikes Peak Ascent in Colorado Springs.
ST: You always seem very mellow and calm at races. Do you let things bother you, or do you have any pet peeves?
Tim: At races there are always a lot of things going on, and I really try to stick with my plan. I just keep my focus and do what I love to do. I don't really have any pet peeves at races. I know that weird things do happen though. For instance, there was a time when I was doing a race in Kansas City one year and on the run I went by a shooting range. I heard shots and it took me a while to figure out what it was. It freaked me out a little, but I stayed safe!
ST: What is your favorite food?
Tim: I do eat very healthy everyday and rarely binge on unhealthy foods. Some of my favorites are grapefruit, salad, turkey burgers, avocados and if you can believe it, PowerBars. After a good race, my wife and I will have what we call "good, bad food" where we'll eat something greasy and know that we have deserved it! Donuts certainly fall into that category!
ST: Where do you think you'll be in 5 years?
Tim: Hmmm…let's see, in 5 years I'll be 38, and the father of twin boys in kindergarten. Wow, scary thought, eh? As far as athletics go, the ideal situation is that I'll still be racing triathlons, be injury free, and my wife and I will be teaching my kids the benefits of keeping an active lifestyle. I'd love to see them do a kids triathlon at that point.
ST: Do you have any preferences in terms of music?
Tim: To the surprise of many, I don't have and iPod and I don't run to music, yet I still really love music and going to live bands. My wife has gotten me into country recently, but for the most part I like all types.
ST: Do you have any tips for other age group athletes?
Tim: None for any that are in my age group. Just kidding…actually, the best piece of advice I could give to any triathlete, pro or age group, is to absolutely love what you are doing. It'll really make you a better athlete. If you find yourself doing races just to do them, then I feel that's a bad sign. I find that enjoying the training is a huge benefit in racing stronger and faster.
ST: Is there anything else we should know about you?
Tim: This will be my 6th year on the Timex Multisport team and this year we have a quality team of amateur and pro athletes from all over. We also have a long list of supporting sponsors that contribute a lot to the team including our bike sponsor, Trek Bikes. Other personal sponsors I have include PowerBar, Tri-Swim, and the International Center for Performance and Health.
On a lighter note for fun, I have participated in three eating contests: salad, steak and pizza. The salad contest was fairly successful as I ate 1 ¾ lbs of salad in 5 minutes. The steak eating contest was very successful as I ate a salad, potato, shrimp cocktail, roll and 72 oz. steak in 48 minutes which showed me what my body can do after completing a ½ Ironman 6 hours earlier. The pizza eating contest with a friend of mine was not so successful as we tackled a 12 lb. pizza and ate only half of it in 1 hour.

Malik Osborne: "I know I'll be able to play with the best."
- Updated: June 6, 2018
Florida State Basketball didn't expect to have this kind of offseason. After an Elite-Eight appearance with only two seniors on the roster, the Seminoles were expecting to make another run as their young talent developed.
Instead, sophomore point guard CJ Walker and freshman center Ikey Obiagu each elected to transfer from the university. Walker ended up at Ohio State while Obiagu selected Seton Hall.
The departures of two key players sent FSU's coaches into a frenzy to replace them. The staff was able to secure a commitment from Albany grad-transfer David Nichols shortly after Walker headed to Columbus.
The `Noles began to show heavy interest in big men on the recruiting trail and in the transfer market following Obiagu's transfer. The top target was Rice transfer Malik Osborne. Osborne averaged nine points and 6.5 rebounds during his freshman season with the Owls.
The 6-foot-8, 200-pound forward considered Wisconsin, San Diego State, and Virginia Tech before deciding on Florida State. Tallahassee was the final stop on his tour of visits and the Seminoles impressed Osborne enough that he decided to commit.
Despite being unranked as a high school prospect, Osborne fills a major need for FSU after proving his skills at the collegiate level. He's a multi-positional player who can stretch the floor from deep and handle the ball. Osborne attended Don Bosco Prep, the same school that Mfiondu Kabengele attended, and believes he can follow along the same path that the rising redshirt sophomore forward did two years ago.
Kabengele redshirted as an incoming freshman and spent the year developing his body and basketball abilities. Osborne is looking to do just that. He believes FSU's proven development of players will help boost his game to where it needs to be.
Looking ahead to 2019, the `Noles will graduate both Phil Cofer and Christ Koumadje. Kabengele could also be a projected selection in the NBA Draft depending on the kind of season he has. That could open the door for Osborne to be a major contributor.
For now, the Crown Point native will need to continue working on how he handles the ball and getting his deep shot more consistent. Osborne prides himself on defense and that always bodes well at Florida State.
Check out our full interview with FSU Basketball's latest commit below.
NoleGameday: Why did you decide to commit so quickly after your visit to Florida State?
Malik Osborne: "After the Wisconsin visit, it really set the bar high with what I'm really looking for. Wisconsin seemed like everyone was moving really fast. I kinda always knew where my top schools were at. Obviously, a visit could make or break things for me. I went to Florida State not really expecting anything. Then coach Hamilton and coach Gates, the staff, were just really genuine, nothing superficial, nothing crazy. And just meeting the guys was also great. I already knew Mfiondu. I also had family ties there, both my uncles went there too so I knew I would have that home feeling. And I was able to get it from the school too, I can have a home feeling on and off campus. Getting to know coach Hamilton a little more as far as his thoughts, how I fit in the offense, and if he sees in me what I see in myself. Leading up to coach Hamilton's house at the end, just getting some dinner and chilling with the team, just able to really bond with the team. If everything is there and you feel it in your heart, why wait?"
NoleGameday: How did the coaches and players react when you decided to commit?
Osborne: "I wasn't around the players but I was with the coaches. It actually was at our last dinner on the itinerary. We were at the table and just talking, getting to know the coaches more. Everything was feeling right, my dad asked me my thoughts on the visit and the coaches wanted to know if they were doing a good job. At that point, I was like everything's pretty much checked off and when I told them I would like to be a Seminole they were happy, I was happy, and my family was happy. We went to a skill workout literally right after that and I got to dap up the team, they were happy. It felt like family after I committed and even before. I can't wait to go up there and get to work."
NoleGameday: What set the `Noles apart from the other schools who were recruiting you?
Osborne: "They really just let me do everything at my own pace. They didn't rush me, they didn't pressure me, they weren't nagging me all times through the day. The coaches understand the process from an athletes decision. They definitely understand the stress it goes through being recruited, especially the second time. They said their piece and let me know what they had to offer and then they left it up to me. I think that's the best thing because if someone preaches family, they're gonna treat you like family, and let you go through everything the way you want to do it."
NoleGameday: What was the most fun part of your visit?
Osborne: "It was definitely hanging out with the guys, watching the eastern and western conference finals game. There was a lot of emotion there, a lot of arguments, and yelling. We're all just a few people who like to watch the sport and yelling at the differences. That was probably the most fun I had."
NoleGameday: Was there anything that surprised you or that you learned about FSU over the weekend?
Osborne: "The accessibility that the players have to all facilities at pretty much anytime was pretty good. Some schools have it open to midnight or whatever. And the players can pretty much go anywhere, any time of the day. And where they were staying at. The way that coach Hamilton treats the players, he gives them top priority even over themself. For coach to be that caring of his players and treating them like family, putting them ahead of himself was very surprising and great to see."
NoleGameday: What did the coaches focus on in their presentation to you?
Osborne: "The focus of the visit was pretty much to show me that they can develop me into the player that I can be and that I want to be. They showed me a history of them sending guys with my skill type and body type to the league. They've shown that they've had people that weren't as gifted as me and they still were able to send them to a place to make money and playing the sport they love as well. The focus there was just development, they said we can make you into the player you want to be. That was pretty much all I was trying to hear was how they can develop me. I know I'm not that there yet but I can be. And the fact that they saw that too really set it off."
NoleGameday: Did the coaches clarify what position you'll be playing?
Osborne: "They said I would definitely be playing more perimeter-ball. Coach Hamilton has a history of recruiting seven footers so I know that my play inside the paint will be as minimal as possible. As far as postgame, that would be on rare occasions. They told me you're definitely gonna be more on the perimeter and you're going to be a perimeter player."
NoleGameday: What was it like getting to meet some of the players on the team for the first team?
Osborne: "It was definitely interesting. Sometimes you have the perceptions of big time players and you don't really know if they're gonna be generous or arrogant. I knew Mfiondu so that was who I was sticking to most of the time since I know the type of person he is. And so he was showing me the players, introducing me, and everyone was selfless, everyone was pretty much brothers, humble, and always together. That was the amazing thing about it. That you can be such a high-level team and gel so well. Everyone had a great personality, nice, generous. They're great players as well so that was like the perfect teammates right there."
NoleGameday: When will you be officially enrolling at Florida State?
Osborne: "I'm supposed to be going down there the ninth to get ready for summer school that starts June 25."
NoleGameday: How tough is it on you to have to sit out a season before getting to take the court with this team?
Osborne: "Oh man, it's gotta be one of the more challenging things I've done in my life. Playing the sport so long and making the transition you want to play right away. It's tough, it's challenging but it's also a learning experience that shows my discpline, who I am without basketball, and just character wise am I responsible enough, am I going to make good decisions. So even sitting out I know it's a teaching experience. And I know I'll be able to play with the best, you got Cofer, Trent, Koumadje, MJ, Terance. You got all those good guys and potentially league guys and you're going up against them everyday. I feel like that's good for me because I'll be growing as a player and also a man. So even though I'm sitting out I know it's probably the best thing for me."
NoleGameday: Do you have any favorites for the number you want to wear?
Osborne: "I wanted to keep 13 for as long as possible. I know that Anthony [Polite] is rocking 13 so I'm gonna do some negotiating with him to see what I gotta do to get the number. If he dosen't budge, obviously he was there first so I can't get too bad. The player makes the number so I'll be fine with the outcome."

McDonald Life Force
Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 1:40 PM on 21st October 2010
Looking almost as fresh as the day it was bought, this McDonald's Happy Meal is in fact a staggering six months old.
Photographed every day for the past half a year by Manhattan artist Sally Davies the kids meal of fries and burger is without a hint of mould or decay.
In a work entitled The Happy Meal Project, Mrs Davies, 54, has charted the seemingly indestructible fast food meals progress as it refuses to yield to the forces of nature.
Fresh: The Happy Meal on the day it was bought by artist Sally Davies in New York
Tasty: Looking a little dry and with an 'acrylic sheen', but the burger has no signs of mould - not even on the bun
Sitting on a shelf in her apartment, Sally has watched the Happy Meal with increasing shock and even her dogs have resisted the urge to try and steal a free tasty snack.
'I bought the meal on April 10 of this year and brought it home with the express intention of leaving it out to see how it fared,' she said.
'I chose McDonald's because it was nearest to my house, but the project could have been about any other of the myriad of fast food joints in New York.
'The first thing that struck me on day two of the experiment was that it no
longer emitted any smell.
'And then the second point of note was that on the second day, my dogs stopped circling the shelf it was sitting on trying to see what was up there.'
Fast food: Five months into the experiment, and although the burger patty has shrunk a bit it doesn't look that different to the original
Expecting the food to begin moulding after a few days, Mrs Davies' surprise turned to shock as the fries and burger still had not shown any signs of decomposition after two weeks.
'It was then that I realised that something strange might be going on with this food that I had bought,' she explained.
'The fries shrivelled slightly as did the burger patty, but the overall appearance of the food did not change as the weeks turned to months.
'And now, at six months old, the food is plastic to the touch and has an
acrylic sheen to it.
'The only change that I can see is that it has become hard as a rock.'
Tucking in: Mrs Davies bought the Happy Meal and put it on a shelf in her home. She said even her dogs are no longer interested in eating it
Even though she is a vegan, Mrs Davies' experiment has brought her amusement
rather than fear.
'I don't really see this experiment as scary, I see it almost as an
amusement,' she said.
'Although, I would be frightened at seeing this if I was a meat eater. Why hasn't even the bun become speckled with mould? It is odd.'
When asked if their food was not biodegradable, McDonald's spokeswoman Danya Proud said: 'This is nothing more than an outlandish claim and is completely false.'
It comes after Denver grandmother Joann Bruso left a Happy Meal to decay for a year until March to highlight the nutritional dangers of fast food.
Morgan Spurlock also made the film Super Size Me in 2004 charting the changes to his body eating just fast food for 28 days had.

"Selling our interstate investment property was unplanned, but the team at Master Agents set our minds at ease and kept us updated on the sales process, achieving an excellent result exceeding our expectations considering the difficult post GFC market."Sarah Hancock / Melbourne VIC
"We made a great choice when we chose Master Agents to market our home. They always made an effort to communicate and gave us plenty of notice when potential buyers were coming to inspect. From the start we felt very comfortable and confident that they could get us the best possible price, and so they did. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Master Agents to anybody who is contemplating selling or buying real estate."John and Sally Waters / Robina QLD
"When Master Agents took over the sale of our home, it felt like a fresh breath of air. They turned the marketing around with more buyers coming through the doors in a fortnight than in over 3 months' time with our previous agent. All the pressure fell off our backs and we're still smiling thinking back. Don't go anywhere else; these guys know what they're doing!"Frank and Lisa Powell / Mermaid Beach QLD

What is a "sprouted grain?" The Whole Grains Council describes this well. Essentially, all grains are seeds and, in the right environment, they will begin to transform. By soaking seeds, we unlock their nutrition and disable their protective mechanisms--the part which is not good for us.
How do you know unsprouted grains are not good for us? The Weston A Price Foundation, promoting the extensive research done by Dr. Weston Price, and traditional food preparation practices discusses this...
"Grains require careful preparation because they contain a number of antinutrients that can cause serious health problems. Phytic acid, for example, is an organic acid in which phosphorus is bound. It is mostly found in the bran or outer hull of seeds. Untreated phytic acid can combine with calcium, magnesium, copper, iron and especially zinc in the intestinal tract and block their absorption. This is why a diet high in improperly prepared whole grains may lead to serious mineral deficiencies and bone loss." - Weston A Price Foundation, Be Kind to Your Grains...And Your Grains Will Be Kind to You
Preparation of grains is seemingly pretty important for proper digestion but, "Where will I find the time?!" you ask?
I know... In a day and time where we are all so busy and pressed for time, this may seem daunting, but fortunately many commercial producers are now bringing us sprouted products. You can purchase ready-made sprouted flours, cereals, nuts, seeds, beans, lentils, etc. Take a look for them next time you're at the supermarket!
What about gluten-free? Will you become nutrient deficient eating that special grain diet?
Listen to this short talk by Dr. Peter Osborne, Founder of The Gluten-Free Society: https://youtu.be/aU34OA3WxJA.
Dr. Osborne talks scientific facts about grains that might surprise you. Did you know, in 1947 the government banned sale of grains/wheat unless they were fortified because consuming the grain in its natural state causes vitamin B deficiency. And grains cause hormone disruption? What?!
WOW. So how did "the healthy whole grain diet" even make it out of the starting gate? --The USDA food guidelines don't discuss this! The Harvard School of Public Health touches upon something as they compare their Healthy Eating Plate vs. the USDA's MyPlate:
"The Healthy Eating Plate is based exclusively on the best available science and was not subjected to political or commercial pressures from food industry lobbyists." - Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
We are each responsible for our own health, in our own kitchens. It's important to take time to prepare your food, and prepare it with love <3.
