Tiny instrument tells big story about America
STAMFORD, Conn. The four-string instrument is tiny but tells a big story of America in the 20th century and even evokes fantasies of paradise. The ukulele, long overshadowed by the guitar and keyboards in popular music, is finally getting its due. The Stamford Museum and Nature Center is billing "Ukulele Fever: The Craze That Swept America" as the first exhibit on the history and social significance of the ukulele. "It's the people's instrument," said Jim Beloff, who wrote a book on the ukulele and helped organize the show. "It's a wonderful instrument to be reconsidered now." The exhibit, which runs through May 26, includes more than 100 ukuleles dating back nearly a century. The collection includes rare instruments, highly ornamented models, a ukulele owned by singer Tiny Tim, instruments made out of coconut shells and even beach ukuleles that reflected the groovy 1960s. The museum is offering a workshop on how to learn to play the ukulele in 61 seconds. A film from the 1920s shows how the instrument was made and an accompanying hands-on exhibit teaches children about Hawaii. The ukulele, which resembles a small guitar, originated in Portugal. It became a sensation in Hawaii when Portuguese immigrants arrived to work in the sugar cane fields. Hawaiian officials promoted the ukulele at an international exposition in San Francisco in 1915. "Then the thing all of a sudden becomes a craze," said Sharon Blume, the Stamford museum's executive director. Production of the instrument skyrocketed. Vaudeville and Hollywood embraced the ukulele, which became a major prop in many movies, including the films of Laurel and Hardy and later Marilyn Monroe, Lucille Ball and Bob Hope. A second wave of popularity erupted after servicemen were sent to Hawaii during World War II. Air travel after the war opened the enchanted islands to the masses. The instrument's sweet, soft strumming sound evoked images of carefree living and happiness. "Hawaii is, for many people, paradise on Earth," Beloff noted.

America Cooks With Chefs – our new partnership with the James Beard Foundation – is a health and wellness movement connecting Americans with celebrity chefs. Chef Mary Sue Milliken is one of six James Beard Award-winning chefs that will be educating America Cooks With Chefs' contest winners on how to prepare and cook healthy, delicious meals. Read Chef Milliken's tips for how shop smart at a farmers' market and enter to win a trip to cook with award-winning chefs as well as a chance to compete in a live cooking challenge at our Health Matters conference in January 2015. The America Cooks With Chefs contest is open through September 3. Enter today.
Farmers' markets are a chef's paradise since a great dish can only come from great ingredients. Whenever possible, I recommend that home cooks should try to shop at a farmer's market – not only will you get good high-quality food that was grown locally, but you'll be supporting businesses in your area. Read my tips for maximizing your trip to the farmer's market and get cooking!
Know your seasons
As food goes in and out of season, my menu changes throughout the year. When you visit your farmers' market, keep your shopping list flexible and buy what's available. Keep in mind that the farmers are a fantastic resource for tips and recipes! They will know what was just harvested at peak and can also discuss their growing methods.
Not sure where your local farmers' market is? Visit the USDA's farmer's market search tool to find a market that is open in different seasons near you.
I like to head to the farmers' market in the early morning before the restaurant opens to get the best selection of produce. I've built relationships with my favorite vendors over the years and let them steer me to new products. Trust your senses – smell and taste and be willing to try something new. I've come up with some of my favorite dishes by experimenting with new ingredients from my local farmer's market that happen to be in season at the same time. For example: raw peanuts, young ginger and sweet gold tomatoes were available recently and they inspired me to experiment with a quick peanut and tomato curry that my family adores. And the best part – it's meatless so better for our bodies and the planet, too.
Be strategic
I like to walk around the market and take in all of the items that are available before purchasing anything. I come prepared with a cart and all sizes of shopping bags that I reuse from week to week. I even return plastic baskets to the strawberry vendor so they can be reused several times – and they always appreciate the extra effort to save resources. I have the advantage of always buying in bulk, but if you need a large quantity of an item vendors are often willing to lower the per pound price for you.
Join the Challenge: America Cooks With Chefs
Want to learn more ways to incorporate healthy foods into your daily life? Apply to a be a part of America Cooks With Chefs, a chef-inspired healthy cooking movement. You can win the opportunity to be flown to my restaurant for a healthy cooking Kitchen Camp and a trip to compete in a live Cooking Challenge at the Clinton Foundation Health Matters Initiative Conference. Enter the contest at AmericaCooksWithChefs.com.

Richard Dirlam
All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree.
–-Albert Einstein
|Walking down the hall at DeLaSalle, you always notice chemistry teacher Richard Dirlam, thanks to two distinguishing factors: his bow ties and tie-dyed lab coat. "These accouterments came about rather serendipitously," he says, "yet through the years both have become, in a manner of speaking, my school uniform."
Wednesday mornings hold extra excitement for serious science students at DeLaSalle. That's when they gather at the chemistry lab for Science Club, coordinated by Mr. Dirlam. Students investigate current science topics and perform experiments that enrich their normal science classes. "There are often loud cheers and choruses of 'Oohs and Aahs' as we explore the explosive reactions of alkali metals or the flash of nitrated cellulose," explains Mr. Dirlam. "Students explore the possibilities of the future and how scientific knowledge can enrich our lives."
Dirlam is particularly interested in helping students understand that they have choices in life. "I like to heighten their awareness of living intentionally as it relates to themselves and the environment," he says.
"It is enjoyable and rewarding to watch students discover chemistry through hands-on experiences in the laboratory, especially when they make applications from what just happened to real life."
Besides being the "science guy," Richard holds a doctorate in music and is DeLaSalle's resident saxophonist. He received degrees in music, chemistry, and a Masters in Science Education from the University of Minnesota, and a Doctorate of Musical Arts from the University of North Texas.
Mr. Dirlam spent several years studying music at the Conservatorie National de Musique de Bordeaux, France, where he has received First Prizes and Medals of Honour in saxophone and chamber music. He has performed in Europe, North America, Japan, and Thailand and is invited regularly to play with the MN Orchestra, the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, and other local venues.
Mr. Dirlam's has recorded on several CDs, including as a member of Le Quatour International de Saxophones, which includes saxophonists from Canada, Japan, and France. Le Quatour performed for DeLaSalle music classes while on a North American tour.
Richard is fluent in French and travels regularly to Europe during school vacations to perform music, visit friends and take part in the cuisine and local customs of France, Italy, and Spain. He has served on the parish council at the "French Church," Our Lady of Lourdes, in Minneapolis. When not playing music, one of his favorite hobbies is cooking and exploring the best "kitchens" in the metro area. He has an acute ability to find obscure but good locations for savory dining.

Want extra cold and flu protection? Lace up your sneakers.
New research from the Society for General Microbiology shows that regular, moderate levels of exercise can significantly decrease your chances for getting an upper respiratory infection. This includes common winter woes such as a cold, tonsillitis, sinusitis and flu.
A brisk, daily 20-minute walk may be all you need to stay sniffle free this winter. Studies shows that people who make some form of heart-pumping exercise a priority can reduce their chances of catching a respiratory infection by up to a third. (Learn the 10 Worst Habits for Your Immune System.)
The reason your sweat session keeps colds at bay hinges on special immune cells called Natural Killers, which fight viral infections. During moderate bouts of exercise, your body produces more of these special immunity cells.
But don't sign up for a marathon this winter. Extreme amounts of exercise, like training for the 26.2 mile race, actually harm your immune system and decrease the number of Natural Killer cells your body makes.
Double reward: Keep healthy and stay fit with our 14 fat-blasting walking workouts.

Video: Marilyn Manson - 'SAY10'
Marilyn Manson announced his return in suitably striking style yesterday with a short but impactful video clip for forthcoming single SAY10, taken from his upcoming tenth studio album of the same name, which will be released on 14th February 2017 (Valentine's Day!).
Clearly timed to coincide with the US election, the graphic new video - which was directed and conceptualised by long-time Manson collaborator Tyler Shields - depicts its protagonist astride a throne, tearing out pages from the Bible and, seemingly, beheading a rather familiar-looking blond man in a blue suit and red tie…
Musically, this is a sparse, dark, brooding track which slithers into being as Manson whispers "Something is shedding its scales / Crying from the heat of the light / Or the empty shell on the stage / And cash is a poor man's money". Chilling and all too apposite.
Manson is an artist who thrives in the barren wasteland, and if this is a taste of what's to come, then his forthcoming album will show him to be more vital and relevant than ever. The antihero we all still need.

Our psychics' advice for the day:
'E' has good news to share that may in fact be bittersweet as far as you're concerned. A connection to Iceland or ice is significant. A piece of music that's going round and round in your head has a psychic connection to your future, as does a snapshot and seemingly innocuous memory of something from years ago. Pick up the phone and call our psychics if any of this relates to you or someone that you know.

Cyclacel's Seliciclib to be Evaluated for RA
Cyclacel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: CYCC) (Nasdaq: CYCCP) (Cyclacel or the Company), today announced that scientists at Newcastle University have been awarded £1 million (approximately $1.5 million) by the UK's Medical Research Council for a clinical trial to evaluate whether seliciclib, Cyclacel's oral cyclin dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor currently in clinical development to treat certain cancers, can be repurposed to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in patients who do not respond to existing treatments. Seliciclib may work for RA by targeting proliferating fibroblasts, a different type of approach than conventional RA therapies, and could therefore succeed where these treatments have failed.

Several kV wouldn't be unexpected in this sort of application. You're still building LC networks though. I think there's a whole range of approaches from total homebrew (although I don't think anyone's building relays from scratch<grin>.. you could have a home made knife switches operated by long strings from the shack, I suppose) to leveraging some readily available subassemblies (multiport antenna switches) and building the networks yourself. If you used a pair of $120 RCS-8V's for instance, you could pull them out of the case, mount them facing each other, and just solder the filters between the PC boards on the back side of where the SO-239 attach. to a completed box (apparently available for around $1-2K, depending on sophistication) _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list email@example.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk

Jerusalem (Aug. 1)
The probability of cooperation between Jew and Arab, and between the Arab spokesmen and the Government now loom larger than ever before, following the withdrawal of their resignations by the six Arab members of the Advisory Council.
The Arabs' declination to serve on the Council was part of the political sabotage inaugurated by the Arab Executive immediately following the cancellation of the Legislative Council. Since then, Sir Gilbert Clayton, the Civil Secretary and Acting High Commissioner, has been urging the Arab members to reconsider their decision. The Jewish members, too, joined in the successful effort to prevail on their Arab colleagues to serve.

Ask Experts & Get Answers to Your Questions - ASAP
Hello I am the benefits administrator for my company and we have many employees who work in a third world country. We utilize both medical insurance and travel insurance. Our company medical insurance (what we offer employees) covers medical expense just as you were explained for employee traveling on business and pleasure. For instance our dental insurance covered an employee working abroad who needed an emergency dental procedure. We use our travel insurance in the case of a legal or other emergency situation. Fortunately we have never needed to use our travel insurance but one of the reasons we have it is because it covers this type of situation.... Employee in need of medical or other emergency (such as legal) needs to get back to the US, the the travel insurance company will actually take money when needed to assist. So what I am saying is that you should verify with your medical company how it will cover medical needs while traveling and you should check with a travel insurance company about additional services outside of medical and then see if you still have a need. As stated we use it more because of the areas our employees work, it may not be needed in Europe and other developed areas.

COLLEGE PARK, Ga. (AP) -- A man opened fire Wednesday morning inside the chapel of a Georgia megachurch, killing one, and police were still searching for the suspect.
The shooting happened just before a 10 a.m. Wednesday service at World Changers Church International, a church that says it serves about 30,000 followers in College Park, a suburb south of Atlanta.
The victim was not immediately identified. The church's prominent founder and leader, the Rev. Creflo Dollar, was not injured, Fulton County Police Cpl. Kay Lester told The Associated Press. It was unclear whether Dollar was at the church when it happened.
Lester said the suspect fled in a vehicle. A few schools in the surrounding neighborhood were locked down temporarily.
It wasn't known how many people were in the chapel when the shooting happened or how many shots were fired, Lester said.
The 50-year-old Dollar is one of the most prominent African-American preachers based around Atlanta, with a ministry of satellite churches across the U.S.
On the church grounds, yellow tape surrounded one building. Police were not letting people onto the campus and were gradually letting members of the ministry out.
A security guard at the administrative office declined to comment as did several church employees.
Several church members walked over to the scene just after hearing about the shooting.
"Why would anyone want to hurt the church?" said Adolph Hanley, 66, of College Park, who has attended the church for two years. "That's the devil's work."
"It doesn't surprise me," Hanley said. "People don't want the real Word."

Explorers of a funky age: Theo Severson, 30, and Chris "Mes" Wood, 32, aren't related, but they share that gnarly DNA that predetermines music bingeing. With a name inspired by the gleeful rush of digging through bins, the Crates say they aren't just out to impress you with rarities. To Wood and Severson, spinning is about discovery and rediscovery, whether they're busting out obscure Jellybean Benitez mixes or PYT by Michael Jackson.
Formed: Late 2005. They met at Turtles on Fowler Avenue, where Severson worked as a clerk.
What you'll hear: "We love hip-hop," Wood says. "It's an adaptable animal." The duo also spins current and vintage dance music, R&B, indie rock and pop classics.
Severson: "We'll start out slowly with stuff like Portishead and Massive Attack, but come 12 o'clock, we start playing anything and everything ... and go bananas."
Wood: "Around 12:30 or 1, we'll do our power set, when folks get some drinks in them and start to lose their inhibitions and have fun."
What else they might play: B-more (aggressive, sped-up club music that's a takeoff of the D.C. go-go style) plus artists like Black Star.
Crunktacular: Woods derides hipsterism and says they just strive to have a good time. Case in point: the duo's recent celebration of friend Bryan "Dirty Bucks" Richardson's birthday. "The climax of Dirty Bucks' B-day celebration was the new jack swing power-set," wrote Severson in a MySpace bulletin. "Complete with crowd participation on (Bell Biv Devoe's) Poison, Dirty Bucks doing his own rendition of Keith Sweat's I Want Her and Mes performing the running man — yes, I have pictures — and some crazy-ass dude comin' outta nowhere and doin the worm."
Where they spin: Czar's Pulp Dance Party night, every Friday in the cool 'n' chill Siberia lounge, with Soft Rock Renegades on occasional Tuesdays at Crowbar and between sets at Aestheticized Presents concerts.
Brothers from another mother: They get along so well, they're even roommates. The two share a house with Wood's wife, Sowsan, and Theo's younger brother, Todd. The funky bunch rides bikes together and eat at Mema's Alaskan Tacos. "We live in NoHo," Wood says proudly, quick to differentiate from the upwardly mobile SoHo. Wood came up with his own terminology for Hyde Park's yuppies, such as "30,000-dollar millionaires," people who live beyond their means; and "Petersons," flip-flop-wearing guys who sport the look of preppie murderer Scott Peterson.
Hear 'em: 10 tonight and every Friday (except for May 9) at Czar, 1430 E Seventh Ave., Ybor City. $5. myspace.com/cratebrothers.

Legacy of Kain: Defiance
Review by Spikes2398
"The first LoK Game I played is a sure fire winner....with only one hindering(but small) flaw"
The game looked awesome the first time I saw it. From its, graphics (stunning), gameplay, TK abilities; it looked almost perfect. I bought the Xbox version because I like the control scheme better. This is what I thought of the game.
10/10: The best looking game I have ever seen. The only other game to me that can compete is Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny. Everything looks complete and carefully thought out. Plus it hovers at a great 60 fps. The spectral realm (Raziel only) looks awesome. It has a nice blurry effect. You can really see the TK blasts of physic energy well. The swords when powered up show great detail and you can easily decipher which reaver you equiped without looking for the symbol at the bottom of the screen. Plus as a bonus, the blood and water look great.
9/10: I don't usually focus on a games sound, but this games sound shines above others. Great battle music keep you constantly on your guard wondering if another enemy will suddenly spring out at you. Kain sucking the blood from an opponent sound especially well, as you can almost feel the enemy suffering as Kain finishes them.
8/10: This game plays well in a lot of perspectives. You journey through different areas in the game as either Kain or Raziel, alternating turns playing as them as each chapter. There are puzzles that each character must solve in order to proceed. This is one area that wasn't done as well as others. The puzzles are simple as looking around till something catches your eye, then you automatically know what to do. Doing this constantly makes it kind of feel RPGish (like go do this so you can get this which will lead you here to only find another puzzle and so on and so on). But thankfully the combat smoothes things out. It is simple, but extremely effective. X is slash, Y is power attack, B is TK powers and A is dodge/jump. You build your own combos as you go; there aren't any set combos. Plus as you gain experience you get special moves, like multiple slashes, slashing air combos and power slam combos. The TK ability is great. Kain starts out being able to fling enemies off roofs, edges balconies and other objects. He can also pick up an enemy and hurl him into objects like spikes, torches and walls (some inflicting fatal kills) and fire TK blasts to knock enemies away from him. Raziel has weaker powers early on in the game (only firing TK blasts) but eventually he will be able to do more. Health is measured in either the amount of blood Kain has devoured or the number of souls Raziel has devoured. Each can regain health by devouring blood (Kain) or souls (Raziel). And since they are both immortal, there is no game over, just a minor set back. Also the ability to power up the reaver blade makes combat more fun as you can experiment with different swords on different enemies.
6/10: I have only one complaint with the camera. It can sometimes position itself behind objects like walls, poles or other things abstracting your view. It happens every once in a while, but when it does, it is really frustrating and annoying. Also sometimes you can find the camera zoomed in on you and have to fight blindly because you can't see your opponents. The camera is like Devil May Cry, fixed but moves with you. You can go to first person mode to look around, although you can't invert the look in first person mode. The camera is fine, just the occasional hiccup, and annoying, hiccup
10/10: Best voice acting in a game PERIOD. Lips are in perfect sink with the characters voice. GREAT JOB.
9/10: If you enjoy hacking and slashing enemies in environments that pull you in and don't let you out, then this is an easy choice. PLAY PLAY PLAY. If you don't, then you may not like the game at all.
BUY: Buy this game if you love action and excitement. If you are looking for an in depth adventure then you might wanna rent first to make sure.
This game is a great experience and should be in all actions gamers' collections. And even if you don't like actions games you should play this game and it might just change you view.

Kyrie Irving's two free throws with 0.4 seconds remaining gave the Cleveland Cavaliers a 93-92 win over Sacramento on Sunday night, extending the Kings' losing streak to five games.
Irving's foul shots came after DeMarcus Cousins' basket with 2.9 seconds left gave the Kings a 92-91 lead.
Cleveland called timeout to get the ball at midcourt. Irving inbounded to Antawn Jamison, who gave the ball back to the rookie point guard. Irving drove into the lane, where he was fouled by Tyreke Evans. The No. 1 overall draft pick then calmly sank both shots to give Cleveland a one-point lead.
The Kings had one last chance. After a timeout moved the ball to halfcourt, Evans' alley-oop pass hit the rim and the game appeared to be over. However, the officials ruled the clock started too early and Sacramento had another opportunity. Evans inbounded to Cousins, whose fallaway shot from the right side caromed off the rim.
The game was tied 17 times and there were 19 lead changes.
Irving scored 23 points and Jamison added 21. Isaiah Thomas, making his second start, scored a career-high 23 points and had 11 assists for the Kings.
Neither team led by more than six until late in the third quarter when Irving started a fast break and threw an alley-oop pass to forward Tristan Thompson for a dunk. The play gave Cleveland a 75-68 lead after three quarters.
Cleveland built an 80-70 lead early in the fourth period, but the Kings rallied. John Salmons' basket tied the game at 82 before Marcus Thornton put the Kings ahead 84-82 with a drive in the lane midway through the fourth quarter.
Jamison's 3-pointer gave Cleveland the lead, but Thornton's rebound basket gave the Kings an 86-85 advantage. Irving's layup off a steal put Cleveland up by one. Thomas' scoop shot in the lane gave the Kings an 88-87 lead.
Jamison's free throw tied the game, but Thornton's layup off Irving's turnover with 1:28 remaining gave Sacramento a 90-88 lead. Thompson's tip-in off Irving's missed layup tied the game with 35 seconds left.
The Kings missed three shots on their ensuing possession and Alonzo Gee was fouled trying to grab the rebound. He missed the first shot, but made the second.
After a timeout, Cousins took the inbounds pass from Thomas, drove the baseline around Jamison and scored on an underhand layup.
Thornton scored 21 points and Cousins had 19 for the Kings.
The Kings are 0-4 on their six-game road trip. The Cavaliers are 3-3 on their nine-game homestand, the longest in franchise history.
The teams were involved in an offseason trade that sent small forward Omri Casspi to Cleveland while power forward J.J. Hickson joined the Kings. Casspi scored six points and had a career-high 12 rebounds while Hickson was scoreless and had four rebounds off the bench. The Cavaliers also received a lottery-protected first-round draft pick.
NOTES: The Kings, who are 3-16 on the road, play in Miami on Tuesday and in Washington on Wednesday. ... Kings coach Keith Smart went 9-31 as interim coach of the Cavaliers in 2002-2003, replacing John Lucas at midseason. ... Cavaliers G Daniel Gibson missed his second straight game with a sprained ankle. Coach Byron Scott said Gibson might return Tuesday against Detroit. ... Cleveland G Anthony Parker sat out his 10th consecutive game because of back spasms.

Followers of The Hobbit will not want to miss this opportunity! This coin has been graded a Perfect Proof-70 Ultra Cameo by NGC.
This beautiful coin is part of a Silver set of six. Each coin features one of the main characters of the beloved novel, each minted in .999 fine Proof Silver. Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf and Thorin Oakenshield, heir to the dwarven kingdom, are joined by Radagast, an eccentric wizard, Elrond, one of the wisest elves in Middle-earth, and the mysterious creature Gollum. The reverse of each 1 oz coin features an image of one of the characters, surrounded by the words "Middle-earth" and "New Zealand," written in both English and Dwarvish, J.R.R. Tolkien's invented language. Each obverse features the Ian Rank-Broadley likeness of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
The reverse of this coin shows Radagast as he appears in the films, with his tattered robes and gnarled staff held at the ready as he wanders through a wooded land. He is brilliantly portrayed as he was intended, being one with nature and immersed in his love of all things natural. The image of Radagast is designed after the portrayal done by Sylvester McCoy from the movie series "The Hobbit."
The Radagast the Brown, name meaning "tender of beasts" and a god of the Sun, war, fertility, and harvest, is the wizard featured on this coin. A dear friend of Gandalf, Radagast was mainly concerned with the well-being of the plant and animal worlds therefore wasn't as involved in the War of the Ring. A brave and selfless wizard with superb magical ability, Radagast was involved in numerous pivotal plot developments throughout the series.

10 top considerations in performing dental extraction procedures
Thoughtful scheduling and effective communication optimizes patient care. As a small animal practitioner, your time is scheduled for medicine, surgery, client consultation and dental procedures. The area of greatest difficulty in scheduling typically involves dental procedures.
I strongly encourage staff training to optimize scheduling. Comprehensive dental care is challenging to schedule due to the variability of dental pathology encountered. A well-planned schedule allows adequate time to provide optimal patient care. You can complete necessary procedures during a single anesthesia period and minimize complication by operating meticulously, without being "rushed". I also recommend that you have a realistic view of your procedural efficiency and level of skill. Do you have experience performing dental extractions? Are you prepared for complications, such as tooth fracture, jaw fracture or excessive hemorrhage? Is your dental operatory sufficiently equipped? Your staff needs to understand the nature and potential complexity of dental cases. The older cat presenting with a history of "pawing at the face" and no previous dental prophylaxis can be a very time consuming case. Do not over schedule oral surgery procedures if you hope to enjoy your day!
2. The operatory should include a high-speed dental unit and intraoral radiography. The dental operatory should be well organized and preferably isolated from distracting activities (such as the general treatment area). This allows the opportunity to focus on the dental procedure. A dental unit should include high and low-speed handpieces with an air-water syringe for irrigation.

The Bank of England's policymakers remain divided on whether to provide more stimulus to the flat-lining economy, according to the minutes of their meeting in May.
The report showed the nine members of the Monetary Policy Committee unanimously approved keeping the base interest rate at 0.5% but disagreed on pumping more money into the economy.
Since 2009, the bank has injected £375 billion sterling into Britain's economy in a programme known as quantitative easing.
Under the programme, the bank buys government bonds from financial institutions, hoping they will lend to businesses and individuals. Governor Mervyn King and two other members pushed for an increase of £25 billion at the meeting, but were outvoted.
Although the British economy has narrowly dodged another recession, it remains fragile. That was made clear in new figures on retail sales, which showed a sharp 1.3% drop in April compared with March. That is much worse than the 0.1% rise analysts were expecting.
Economists noted that the Bank of England's minutes showed a greater concern about the impact that stimulus could have on inflation expectations.
Incoming Governor Mark Carney, who will take office in July, could struggle to garner support for more stimulus - unless the economic data continue to be as weak as the retail sales figures suggest.
