With a very comfortable walk due to the topography, some artificial features have been added. The result is a course with very long fairways shaped by sand dunes, surrounded by orange trees, eucalyptus trees and olive trees, which together with the strategically placed palm trees make the golf course, which appears easy at first sight, a hidden challenge. To see other courses in the area please go to golf courses in Spain and Portugal.
A wide range of activities are available in the area, as the hotel is located in the centre of a golf course and is very close to the sea, the beach, the river Guadiana and Portugal.

One of the units of Alphabet Inc., the parent company of Google, is currently working on a technology, which would allow users to post and verify transactions, Bloomberg reported, citing its sources.
The technology is currently at such stage of development, when it is too early to tell the release date of any technology-based product. However, it is clear according to sources that the Blockchain services would be related with Google cloud businesses. The sources also reported that Alphabet recently has been acquiring and investing into companies specialized in Blockchain technology.
Recently, Google announced that it would ban online advertisements of cryptocurrencies, initial coin offerings and "related content" following a similar statement by another tech giant Facebook made in January.
After the news on the new Google anto-cryptocurrencies policy, Bitcoin fell by 14 percent, hitting a mark below $8,000.

This is breaking news that will make LEGO fans very happy. Variety is reporting that Marvel has announced their licensing partners for next year's Captain America: Civil War and LEGO will be a part of it which means that we'll be getting sets for the movie next year in the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes line. Building off the success of the Avengers: Age of Ultron merchandise, Marvel and Disney are hoping that Civil War will also continue that trend.
The article does mention that the campaign will feature a number of newer characters including War Machine, Falcon, Vision, Black Widow, and Black Panther. We've already seen a few iterations of these characters as minifigures but hopefully we'll see some more being introduced.
Products will be hitting store shelves eight weeks before the May 6 opening so that gives us a timeframe of when we should be expecting to see the new LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Captain America: Civil War sets. I'm going to guess that it'll be around March or April.
What do you guys think of this news that was kind of expected given that LEGO tends to produce sets based on the Marvel movies? Which minifigures are you hoping to see be included in the sets?

Artist quarter, Old City, Safed, Israel.
All posts by admin
Merzer House was the studio and home of the renowned Jewish-Polish artist Arieh Merzer. Merzer was a member of a group of artists that sought to revive the ancient Jewish art form of copper repoussé, an artistic endeavor known in Poland as "metalloplastics".
Merzer's life took him from the Warsaw area, where he was born and raised to a family of Gerer Hassidim, to Paris, where he spent the entire 1930s taking part in the Montparnasse circle of Jewish artists. After barely escaping the Nazis, in 1942 he managed to flee to the free zone of southern France and smuggle his wife and two children across the border to Switzerland. There he worked in a forced labor camp, Camp de Sierre, after which he moved to Geneva. The series of drawings from his period in the camp are in the collection of the Yad Vashem Museum. Merzer's Israeli period began when he came to live in the country in 1945 on board of the ship Lima; after the establishment of the state, together with other leading Israeli artists, he established the Safed artists' colony which in their vision was the historic place for a Jewish artistic renaissance.
History and Copper
In the Jewish context, the ancient art of copper repoussé is associated with the biblical figures of Bezalel son of Uri and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, architects of the Tabernacle. This art form persisted throughout Jewish history, as attested by prayer and ritual items used in the synagogue and the Jewish home.
A significant Jewish center for artistic metal work developed during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in Eastern Europe, particularly in western Ukraine, Galicia, Volyn and Podolia. The presence of these items in museums and private collections reveals only a fraction of the wealth of these works.
Historic copper repoussé was advanced and rejuvenated by the work of Jewish artists in Poland in the period between the two world wars. Numerous metalloplastics exhibitions were held in Warsaw and Lodz during the 1920s and 1930s, engendering interest in artistic circles and among critics
World War II devastated metalloplastics. The Nazis collected the Jewish metal items and moved some of them to Germany for documentation. They melted down most of them, turning them into weapons or other items. This led to the extinction of a body of Jewish art that was familiar in Poland, where almost every home had metal items, and wealthy homes frequently had collections of utilitarian, ritual and artistic items, and later, often repoussé works. Metalloplastics also nearly vanished. The works of Merzer, who was able to leave Poland at an early stage, preserve a very significant corpus of metalloplastics. The recent Doctorate work on Merzer entitled "Memory Hand-Hammered in Copper" attempt to trace the various threads in the tapestry of Merzer's life and work. These threads lead and are led to various times and places and echo in a modern Jewish euphony that is faithful to tradition and Jewish roots but open to the spirit of the times and peoples.
Merzer was the only Copper artist from the Polish group who survived the war and kept and brought the metalloplastic legacy to the city of Safed. He wrote in his album Safed and her people [1965]:
…" after the old Jewish homes in Europe together with their inhabitants were destroyed in the fire and in smoke fate led me to the Kaballah city of Safed: the city which crowns the thoughtful inspiring mountains of Galilee with their old synagogues, surrounded by caves and ancient tombs… Safed with her mystic stories and legends were Moshe Kordovero and the Ari Hakadosh studied Kaballah with their pupils, where the spirit of the Mishna came each night to Josef Karo to study the secret of the Torah with him, the city where Shlomo Alkabetz sang the great love song "Lecha Dodi", to the queen Shabat. Safed the wonder-city where generation of Jews came from the wide world to seek meaning and salvation- Therefore, it is no wonder that this city, hundreds of years later, attracted painters and artists from the whole world."
The vision
The Copper house will operate as an international Art and Community center which fosters Reconciliation, Peace and will promote "Keruv Levavot"- Joining hearts through the Arts.
The copper house will include:
1. The artist-in-residence program
A unique professional guest's house for Artists, musicians, writers and scholars from around the world who will be invited to create in the city of Safed with its unique spiritual environment and rich historical traditions. Safed is situated on the pole axis of diverse subjects and aspects: religiosity and secularism, Ashkenazi and Sephardic traditions, Kabbalah and globalism, East and West, geography and history of the struggled relations between Jews and Arabs and in a deep sense this complex texture can both nurture artistic creativity and foster social engagement.
While staying and creating at the Copper house, the artists will be encouraged to engage in community work and social activities contributing to cultural events that will take place during their stay. Those activities will be directed both towards professionals in the specific artistic crafts and disciplines and also towards needy populations and sectors that will enjoy enrichment through specific programs and workshops.
2. The Copper museum
The Polish Jewish Metaloplasic museum in the Copper House will hold a permanent exhibition dedicated to the Polish Jewish Metaloplastic group of artists who worked in copper. Merzer's work and story will be told along with biographic and artistic portraits of all the artists belonging to that group who did not survive the Holocaust. A professional library of Yiddish and Polish rare books will be located in the space alongside a video spot that will screen documentaries, Art and Yiddish films. The museum will host groups of educational delegations before their trips to Poland and will be open to anyone who wants to obtain a cultural background on the prewar rich Jewish Polish cultural and artistic scene.
The museum will also host academics and will be engaged in the research of issues connected to Safed's history and art, Jewish art and Polish Jewish heritage.
The museum will maintain academic connections with universities, research institutes and museums such as the new Jewish museum in Warsaw and other institutions that share mutual goals.
3. The contemporary gallery
The Golden Peacock contemporary gallery will be a vivid space for contemporary art and will also serve as a space for the Guest artists of the Copper House who will display their art created during their stay.
We are looking for support
The Merzer house, gallery and museum space need renovation. The site for the copper house is located opposite the Merzer house and is connected by a Courtyard with a well and grapevines. There is an opportunity to expand the community space buy acquiring the neighboring property.
Technical information concerning the property and the matching support needed for establishment of the Copper house project will be delivered on request.
The idea is to combine the historical building with a modern structure that will reflect the qualities of copper in various ways in a unique architecture that will echo the vision of the project.
Copper, with its flexible and eternal qualities reflects the idea of freedom and peace- between people and communities, between the global and the local, between the historical layers, of past and present- a structure that will try to encapsulate memory in a living and most vivid environment for creation and sharing ideas and visions for the community and for world heritage.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Bayou Land Conservancy, Houston, TX, USA
Cynthia Salvaggio and her crew at Bayouland Conservancy helped fund my students to their only field trip this year. Bayouland Conservancy taught my students and myself about science topics that brought us into the outdoors. It was wonderful because my students got to experience many things at the conservancy such as view a decomposing deer, digging up nonnative plants, scavenger hunt, and learning about certain types of plants and trees. the experience was awesome and my kids really enjoyed being able to go outside the city limits to see what nature has to offer them!

Being outside doing the same activities as my students were doing was an awesome experience. It built relationships with my students that you cannot bring into the classroom. We laughed and learned a lot of cool new stuff.

text: Reading is one of the most fundamental practices that help children grow and become more successful in their lives. There are countless reasons why reading is important for children. How can we as adults help children develop a love of reading and encourage this practice? One fun way is building a reading nook for you and your child. Here are some ways to create the coziest spot to dive into a good book. First, let's brush up on the reasons why reading to your child and helping your child practice reading are so important. Reading helps develop language skills, vocabulary, focus and concentration. For children who are bilingual or multilingual, reading prompts fluency in each of their languages. Reading also develops a child's creativity and a sense of empathy as they identify with fictional characters and their storylines. Cozying up with your child over a good book creates lasting memories that bond you together. Since life is busy for both you and your child, escaping into a quiet space with an entertaining book can be exactly the break you both needs.Now that we've got that all covered, here are some tips on how to make the perfect reading nook for you and your child. You've got lots of options for your reading nook. Pick a space in your house that isn't used, such as a closet, a corner or an alcove. First thing to do is add a place to store the books. That can be shelves, a stand-alone bookshelf or a crate. Next, add some snuggly pillows and blankets to make it warm and inviting for your little one to crawl into. If your space lacks lighting, add some flashlights or a battery-powered light fixture you can stick on the wall. Adding some curtains to the entry makes it feel like a cozy, secluded fort where you can really get lost in a book. All these things will build the perfect spot for your child to get excited about reading!Reading helps children's brains grow into their full potential while building their imaginations. It can also bring parents and children together when the world becomes a hectic place. Reading with your child is a personal experience that makes memories that last a lifetime. Having a perfect little reading nook will get both you and your child excited to spend quality time together in a book.

September 13, 2017 | By: Leslie Curtis
Categories: Family Support
As someone who absolutely loves music, I have begun to title my blogs after names of popular songs, old and new. This song is one of my favorites and I hope this article lives up to the title!
I think we have all heard that having a child with disabilities can be compared to getting on an airplane for a trip to Hawaii. You can't wait to get to Hawaii and see the wonderful sights, experience a Luau, and eat the wonderful foods. But then something happens, and you land in Amsterdam.
This isn't what you were expecting. You didn't prepare for this, and now you have to wrap your brain around this turn of fate. We never planned on having children with disabilities and all the struggle that it comes with.
So finally, after 15 years, I have recently learned we must adapt to life in Amsterdam. I can't fix autism, I can't fix epilepsy, and it's not healthy to sit around and throw a pity party. What is productive is to learn how to get through this life and step into the world where our children live.
Our son is a teen and struggling through puberty. He is more verbal than most kids with autism, but expressing his wants, needs, and emotions is non-existent. Recently we went 2 months with him walking up to my husband and I and purposefully dropping the TV remote to watch it break. After that, he would go bang on the flat screen TV.
At first, my husband and I just looked at each other like "What in the world?" We duct taped the back of the remote thinking he was just getting pleasure out of watching the batteries fall out, but he continued the same thing, night after night. We were frustrated because we had no clue what the cause of his behavior was,
I read an article about stepping into your child's world and thought Ok, this is occurring every single night about the same time, so maybe he is hungry. He threw the remote, I offered food, he declined and ran to bed screaming.
Hmm ... no, he wasn't hungry.
Finally, as if lightning struck me in the middle of the night, I sat up in bed and said, " Oh my gosh, maybe this is his way of telling us he's tired."
So, the next night, I watched carefully and as I began to see him get up to come drop the remote control for us, I stopped him and asked him if he was tired? Of course, he didn't know, so I calmly took the remote away from him, we turned the TV off, and I walked him to bed.
I had to catch him for about 5 nights in a row before he got it. But by golly, after a week, he was telling us, "I'm tired." HALLELUJAH!!!
He had no idea how to relay that information to us.
Now I am much more observant. I need to put myself in his shoes to figure out what his triggers might be for the other 23 hours a day.
Where does "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" come in, you might ask? Well, I am realizing that our kids have many special colors to them, much like rainbows. By figuring out one small piece in my son's world, I feel like I am in his world of colors and rainbows where dreams really can come true!

Fire Blight on Apple & Pear Trees
Q: Why are the tips of branches turning black on my apple and pear trees?
A: We have seen many questions over the past couple of weeks where the leaves on branches of apples and pears turn black or brown at the tips. This usually refers to a disease called fire blight. Fire blight is a disease that can appears quickly on apple and pear trees during in the spring into early summer. This disease can severely damage infected trees and sometimes may kill the entire tree. Fire blight develops more rapidly when temperatures are 65 to 90°F combined with humid or rainy weather. Once the disease is established, it can be very difficult to control.
Fire blight is a bacterial disease that can infect the blossoms, fruits, twigs, and branches. The very first symptom of the disease starts in the spring with the fruit tree blossoms. The blossoms will appear water-soaked, wilted, shriveled, and finally turn brown to black.
The twigs and branches will soon begin to wilt at the tips giving the appearance of a shepherd's crook. As with the blossoms, the twigs and branches will finally turn brown to black. As the twigs and branches turn brown so will the leaves. The infected leaves will remain on the branches giving the appearance that a fire went through the tree, hence why the disease is called fire blight.
The bacteria within the plant will continue moving down the branches and twigs causing them to turn brown downward from the tips. Immature fruits on the infected branches will turn brown and will eventually shrivel up while remaining on the branches. During humid or rainy weather, a sticky liquid or ooze could be found on the surface of infected plant parts. This ooze is a very distinct characteristic of fire blight.
So where does this disease come from? The bacterium that causes fire blight overwinters in diseased and dead tissue on the tree. In the spring, the disease is carried by wind, rain, and insects to blossoms or new shoot growth on apple and pear trees. The bacterium enters through natural openings in the flowers and leaves along with wounds and injuries made by insects and pruning.
When it comes to controlling fire blight on apple and pear trees, unfortunately it is a difficult disease to control. However, there are some control practices that can help reduce the severity of fire blight.
The best way to reduce the chances of fire blight is to purchase varieties of apple and pear trees that have some resistance to the disease. There is not a variety that is completely resistant to fire blight, but there are varieties that vary in resistance and will be helpful in reducing infection. In North Carolina, the more susceptible apple varieties include Jonathan, Golden Delicious, Lodi, Yellow Transparent, Stayman, and Gala. Red Delicious is generally less susceptible to fire blight. Pear varieties that are highly susceptible include: Bartlett, Bosc, and Clapp's Favorite. Kieffer, Orient, Starks Delicious, and Dawn are pear varieties that are less susceptible to fire blight, while Magness and Moonglow are relatively resistant.
Sanitation practices are some of the best ways to managing fire blight by removing all infected branches and twigs before growth starts in the spring. Cuts should be made 4 to 6 inches below any evidence of dead tissue. Pruning newly infected twigs and shoots reduces spread of the disease if done carefully. Apple and pear trees should be monitored daily and new infections must be promptly removed as soon as symptoms are seen. Cuts should be made 10 to 12 inches beyond the last evidence of the disease. Great care must be taken to prevent the spread of the bacteria by hands or cutting tools. When infected branches are cut out, use a 10% bleach solution to sterilize the cutting tools between each and every cut.

Councillor for Planning, Rafael Almagro, announced on Monday, that Orihuela Council are set to receive 14.5 million euros from their latest sale of land on the Orihuela Costa, five plots of residential land, located in the area of La Zenia for an amount that is 2,606,000 euros more than the initial value put on the land by the council valuers.
He said that the figures "show that there is a clear economic recovery within the construction sector as a result of which there will be an unexpected windfall in municipal assets, which exceeds the last land auction, held in 2013, by 50%.
In addition, the purchasers will be responsible for the pending urbanisation charges, and any other debts that the Consistory had in respect of the land.
The councillor stated that the government team is committed to allocate monies resulting from the sale of municipal land proportionally to the coast, districts and the city of Orihuela, quite probably as financially sustainable investments, "within of the long list of pending investments that we have".
On the Orihuela Costa the money will be used to fund the building of a new Cultural Centre as well as repairs to roads, parks and gardens in the region while in the city it will fund improvements to the railway station in readying it for the arrival of the high speed train. There will also be a new sports centre as well as bike lanes in districts and funds to develop the DUSI strategy (Sustainable Urban Development).
The land has been purchased by the real estate division of Grupo Marcos, TM Real Estate Group and Madrid-based Suncoast Golf. Three of the plots are located in an area called Los Almendricos (PAU-26), and two are in sector E-2 of El Barranco , all of them in La Zenia.
The most expensive plot was bought by Suncoast Golf for 6.6 million euros; TM Real Estate Group, the second, with 4.1 million and the three remaining plots went to the Marcos Group: one of 800,000 euros; another of 1.1 million euros and a third, awarded for 1.5 million. All of them are destined to residential urbanisations

Pup Pals Landy & Rover Show Off The Features In An Adorable Campaign
By Si Si Penaloza
Photo: Land Rover
If you've ever owned a dog, odds are you've overspent on pet proofing. Or splurged on making them look and feel special. It's a wonder why more auto manufacturers aren't catering to the booming affluent pet market.
Launched in concert with Chinese New Year, Land Rover reveals its new range of "pet packs" designed to make life with canine companions much more clean, fresh and stylish. The move comes right after the launch of the Landy & Rover campaign, Landy and Rover being two expedition-ready dogs who demonstrate the new features rather well and without bias to small, "not traditionally sporty" breeds. No one puts this scrappy terrier in a corner.
Photo: Land Rover
The company leads the luxury SUV category in catering to pet parents with specially designed pet themed upgrade packs. The pet pack is a two-piece kit that includes both a full-height partition for the cargo area, as well as either a rubber mat or a liner tray. Your spacious cargo hold can now be saved from wet paws with precision fit protection, custom made for Land Rover. The waterproof mat covers the carpet on the load space floor, while the liner tray has a raised lip on three sites to cover both the floor and side wall carpets. No reason to regret your little one getting all "dogged up"; they won't muck up the car's luxurious leathers.
Photo: Land Rover
No one likes to say this in polite company (aka marketing meetings), but dogs are filthy, smelly animals. While noble and lovable in character, physically speaking, certain overly drooling and shedding breeds simply wreck havoc on luxury goods. From Porsche to Pucci, Pomeranians don't care about satin or matte leather finishes. Moreover, a $660 splurge on the pet pack is probably less expensive than whatever it costs to professionally replace or clean mud out of the leather.

The second element of the pet pack, and another way to make the most of your load space while protecting your vehicle, is the full height partition. This easily fitted accessory keeps your pet safe in the back of your vehicle while preventing muddy paws from clambering into the passenger seats and making undesirable tears and stains. The smartly designed partition also enables owners to separate the load space into two sections.

We all know that there are so many items that you can find in the kitchen. And if we're not organizing it carefully, your kitchen pantry can quickly become a disaster area. For a better kitchen pantry organization, consider to use clear storage containers to transfer your food items into matching jars to make your pantry look neat and tidy; flours, seeds, nuts, small snack, dried fruits, etc. If you have a cabinet, store anything especially the items that you often use the most and not too bulky on the insider of the cabinet door.
Try to grouping items together and it is still helpful to label your containers. If you're working with a small space, a simple cart can make your pantry more functional, but if you don't, a cart can hold all your pantry essentials in a very organized and mobile way. If you have small and narrow space, install open shelving. Now check out these 48 kitchen pantry ideas with form and function below to inspire you.

If you've become a connoisseur of the vaping world, sooner or later you might want to start exploring e cig mods to provide a more personalised and powerful vaping experience. Vaping mods aren't for beginners, and if you're only a social and irregular user of your e cig, you probably won't need one. However, for anyone who likes to indulge in vaping regularly and particularly those who want to create large clouds of vapour then vape mods offer the next step towards providing the ultimate vaping experience.

Why go with Vaping Mods?
Normal ego electronic cigarettes are easy to use and portable, they can be slipped discreetly into a pocket wherever you go, but a device this size doesn't have the most powerful battery and will only keep you going for a few hours. A vaping mod on the other hand is a way of beefing up your e cig, improving the battery life considerably as well as offering a lot of other benefits which include the ability to use a Subtank. Overall e cigarette mod kits are for those who are seeking more control from their electronic cigarette, getting better flavour from their e liquid and producing greater vapour.
What is a Mechanical Mod?
For those who are really wanting to create a personalised vaping experience then mechanical mods can offer this, but to use one it's essential to understand some of the basics about wattage and voltage. Your research here is essential!
A mechanical mod is a very basic form of atomizer, with a rechargeable battery held inside the casing. Unregulated current is pushed to the coil when a button is manually pressed. There's no circuitry used to help regulate the current which is why it's a type of vaping mod which should only be used by those with some knowledge about how to set one up.
What is a E Cig Box Mod?
As the name suggests a box mod is a type of vaping mod which is larger and box sized. This means it's not so convenient to carry out and about, but it's a great way to supercharge your vaping experience.
This size means it's capable of housing a far more powerful battery, delivering not only a vaping experience which is more satisfying than a standard e cig, but also offering a longer time before recharging is required.
Box mods such as the Aspire ESP 30W, one of the best e cig mod kit around, also have features such as pass-through technology which means you can carry on vaping even while it's being charged.
E Cig Mods: Variable Wattage
One of the most exciting features that the box mods have is variable wattage settings. Variable wattage allows for you to control the power delivered to the atomizer and in turn fine tune to your desired vaping needs. Mostly variable wattage can enhance e liquid flavours, control the amount of throat hit as well as produce different amounts of vapour by means of adjusting the amount of heat delivered to the heart of your tank.
Some models of box mods even remember the setting which was last used to save you having to adjust it each time you vape.

- all-purpose/plain flour 2 1/2 cups (375 g) unbleached, sifted
- Baking powder 2 1/2 tsp (12.5 ml) • 156 kcal
- Salt 1/4 tsp (1 ml) • 1 kcal
- Eggs 3 • 130 kcal
- Sugar 1 1/2 cups (315 g) • 470 kcal
- Vanilla Extract 1 tsp (5 ml)
- Canola oil 1 cup (250 ml)
- Milk 1 cup (250 ml) • 49 kcal
- Cocoa powder 1/4 cup (25 g), sifted
- Two scoops or ladles
- Dark Chocolate 3oz
- double/heavy cream 60ml
- Icing sugar 1 cup (130 g)
- Water 1 tbsp (15 ml)
This beautifully marbled vanilla and chocolate cake takes a little time and effort, but is surprisingly easy to make, and is great for Halloween or as a child's birthday cake. You can make this cake in advance and do the icing just before you serve it.
Butter an 8-inch (20-cm) springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer until the mixture lightens and forms a ribbon. Add the oil in a thin stream. On low speed, add the dry ingredients alternately with the milk until smooth.
Divide the batter evenly into two separate bowls. Whisk the cocoa powder into one of the bowls.
With a scoop or ladle, pour one ladleful of the chocolate batter in the centre of the springform pan and allow it to spread for about 20 seconds. With the second scoop or ladle, pour the same amount of vanilla batter in the centre of the chocolate batter.
Again, allow to spread for about 20 seconds. Repeat these two steps alternately until all the batter has been used.
Bake for about 1 hour 10 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Let cool. Remove from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
Chocolate Ganache
In a bowl over hot water melt 3oz dark chocolate, and add 60ml of double/heavy cream. Mix until smooth. Spread the ganache on the cake, letting it slightly run down the sides.
Prepare a white royal icing to make a spider web-like icing on the ganache:
In a bowl, combine 1 cup (130 g) of icing sugar with about 1 tbsp (15 ml) water. With a pastry bag fitted with a small tip, apply a spiral of icing on the ganache. From the centre of the spiral, drag the tip of a knife outward to form a spider web.
If you are making this cake for Halloween, place a plastic spider in the center of the 'web' on top of the cake.
The 'spiderweb' icing can be quite hard to do, but remember, it doesn't have to be perfect!

Up until December 2018, the United States Federal Reserve had been trying to gradually increase interest rates and slow the economy.
Most estimates were that this slowdown would finally arrive in the second half of this year.
The slowdown now seems to have arrived in the second quarter.
After growth of 3.1 per cent annualised GDP growth in the first quarter of this year, there are signs that the US economy is slowing and is likely now only growing at 2pc.
Bluechip consensus (which is the best US economic forecasters in the market) says that growth will continue to slow throughout the year to between 1.8pc-1.9pc.
Should these slower rates of growth continue into next year, what you'll see is that employment will be growing slower than the growth in the labour force.
This means that US unemployment would initially continue to decline until about October-November this year to around 3.5pc and then gradually drift up next year to a level around 4.3-4.5pc.
At that point, the Fed would want to stabilise what's happening in the economy by cutting rates.
The Fed is unlikely to cut rates before unemployment begins to rise next year.
Right now, our model of US interest rates suggests that the Fed funds rate of 2.25pc is too high.
Despite this, we think the Fed will not cut rates yet, because we believe it would probably have to reverse the cut soon after.
In the last two cycles the Fed funds rate has peaked 1.6pc to 1.7pc higher than our modelling.
Now it's only 68 basis points higher than our model, which isn't enough in the demonstrated history of how the Fed behaves for it to cut rates straight away.
At present, we have an inversion of the US yield curve (longer term rates lower than short term rates).
Inverted yield curves don't go on forever. They go on for a few quarters at most.
What always happens after the yield curve inverts is that inflation works its way through into the market, which will happen in the US with unemployment rates so low.
In summary, the US economy is slowing down.
Our model suggests that there is room for a rate cut.
Still, it's not enough compared to previous cycles to compel the Fed to act yet.
We think the Fed will stay where it is and look for more information to emerge.
So far, their plan of slowing the economy to a moderate pace of growth is working surprisingly well.

Charles Edward "Eddie" Smith, II, 64, of Morristown went peacefully to be with the Lord at UT Medical Center Sunday, November 10, 2019. He was a member of Mountain View Baptist Church.
He is preceded in death by his father and mother, Charles Edward and Barbara Smith; brother, Bill Smith.
Eddie was the most kind, joyful, generous and loving man. He loved his wife, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren with everything in him. The grand and great-grandchildren meant the world to him and when he was with them, he was laughing and playing like a kid again. He didn't have riches or worldly possessions, but he had the Lord and his family. He often sang a song titled "I'm One Blessed Man". He was a blessed man and we were blessed to have him in our lives.
He had been battling a variety of illnesses for a long time, and it grieved him that he hadn't been able to attend, for a while, the church he loved so much. He was also a very talented musician and vocalist, his passion being gospel music. He loved singing, playing his guitar and many other instruments.
He is survived by his loving wife of 23 years, Brenda Smith; his children, Holly Smith (Brad Silvers), Charles "Chuck" Edward Smith, III (Shannon), Stephanie Lewis (Zack Martin), Mary Ann Gray, and Crystal Greene (Timmy); grandchildren, Allison Greene (Josh Anderson), Alex Greene, Ayden Greene, Sean Smith, Kendon Tester, Josh and Destiny Gray, Jake Silvers, Olivia Martin, and grandbaby Martin on the way; great-grandsons, Daniel and Carson Tester and baby Joshua Lee Anderson on the way; sister, Elaine French; along with several nieces and nephews.
We will be honoring him and his life with a memorial service at Mountain View Baptist Church on Saturday, November 16, 2019 at 4:00 P.M.
Arrangements by Stetzer-Bales Funeral Home.

Standard Issue writers revisit an album/film/book/TV series to see if it's stood the test of time. This week, Mickey Noonan gets passionate about The Rutshire Chronicles.
What and why: Jilly Cooper's seven-strong series of bonkbusters set in the aptly-named Rutshire, in which the ridicu-posh inhabitants spend their time being frightfully wealthy and chasing tail. Riders, Rivals, Polo, The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous, Apassionata, Score!, Pandora and Wicked!, span two decades (1985 to 2006) and are variously set in the worlds of showjumping, TV, polo, horse riding, classical music, film and opera, art and, erm, the education system. (She wrote Jump! in 2010 but it's barely worth a mention.)
There's a definite formula to Cooper's storylines: ridiculously attractive person meets not conventionally attractive person. They fall in love. Life gets in the way. Life gets out of the way. Love conquers all. Illicit humping conquers quite a lot, too.
Scant regard for PC and a scathing approach to feminism (take this particularly choice quote from Score!: "Colin's chestnut mare had furry legs like a feminist"), hasn't stopped Cooper selling 12 million books and counting.
"Okay, cards on table: some of Cooper's written romps genuinely give me the horn, the dirty old broad."
Rated or dated: Rated. I mean they're beyond dated, obviously, but still eminently readable. Delving into The Rutshire Chronicles is like stepping into a foreign land of long ago, where the males are Alpha, the women swoon and money flows like water. Pure escapism. Whenever an affaire ends, I reach for Riders. Then Rivals. Then Polo. Then… you get the gist. Cooper's never-ending quest for romance and her firm belief that where there's love there's hope can sometimes make my eyebrows raise so high I look like I've had a dodgy facelift, but I end up smiling. And oddly hopeful once more.
Mainly it's because Cooper is a fantastically smart and funny writer. Her beady social comedy still sparkles. This keen comic eye combined with the ability to turn a phrase sharper than a chef's knife and a peppering of literary quotes and allusions, keeps the outrageously soppy romantic stuff and frankly hilarious sex scenes in check. Okay, cards on table: some of Cooper's written romps genuinely give me the horn, the dirty old broad. Also, in Machiavellian maestro Roberto Rannaldini, she's created one of the most deliciously dastardly villains ever to grace paper. Even his 5'6" stature doesn't cut him down to size.
In real life, Cooper's parade of hooray Henrys would make a working-class woman from Wigan reach for a poisoned pie, but curled under my duvet, they're literary crack. Intellectual snobs may well look down on my well-thumbed Jilly Cooper collection. They can go whistle. I'm going back to Rutshire.6635 Views

Allen was a 6-5 winner against Selby in the last eight of the China Championship last week, and again kept his cool in the deciding frame with a 62 helping him over the line.
Selby made 113 and 56 with Allen compiling 66 to better Selby's 65 in the third frame as the first four frames were shared.
Northern Irishman Allen established a 5-3 lead with further knocks of 80, 65 and 57 only for Selby to force the decider boosted by runs of 85, 52 and 63.
But it was Allen who seized his chance to secure a meeting with Ronnie O'Sullivan in the last four.

Selby had earlier shown why he is world number one with a dominant 4-0 win over Liang Wenbo at the Champion of Champions event at Coventry's Ricoch Arena.
Leicester's world champion Selby completed victory over English Open champion Wenbo in 70 minutes courtesy of breaks of an opening 54 and 101 in the fourth frame.
In the afternoon's other match, Joe Perry claimed the first frame against Mark Allen with a 92, but the Northern Irishman moved 3-1 ahead helped by a 60 and 56 in the second and third frames.
Perry kept alive his hope by edging the fifth frame, but Allen closed out the match with an imperious 116 in the sixth frame.
The winner of Wednesday's Group 2 final will face Ronnie O'Sullivan in Friday night's second semi-final.
Two-times former champion O'Sullivan is already through to the last four after winning Group 3 of the event on Monday night courtesy of a 6-2 win over Martin Gould.
Group 4 is played out on Thursday, and involves Shaun Murphy, John Higgins, Judd Trump and Anthony McGill with the winner facing Group 1 winner Ding Junhui in the first semi-final.
The winner of the tournament on Saturday night will earn a cheque for £100,000.

Pennsylvania is following in the footsteps of California — saving money for future potential economic crises.
On Thursday, Gov. Tom Wolf announced that the state had deposited $22 million to its Rainy Day Fund.
"This deposit into the Rainy Day Fund helps stabilize our budget for the first time in nearly a decade," Wolf said, adding that the $22 million in savings exceeds the pre-budget estimate of $14 million.
Furthermore, Wolf stressed that today, Pennsylvania is "better equipped for fiscal stability than it has been in the past." He said that the deposit to the Rainy Day Fund is "a nest egg that we hope to grow," an "indicator of fiscal responsibility and stability" and a sign that the state has a bright future.
Pennsylvania Treasurer Joe Torsella praised Wolf for establishing a system to build a better future for the state. He emphasized that families know the importance of setting aside resources to prepare for tough times.
He also praised Wolf for "moving our state finances in that same direction."
Wolf Implemented a Variety of Savings Strategies
The governor's administration has outlined different savings initiatives and implemented them over the past 3 1/2 years.
One of these initiatives is the Governor's Office of Transparency, Innovation, Management and Efficiency (GO-TIME). Through this initiative, Pennsylvania immediately earned $100 million in annual savings. The state adopted smarter and more efficient procurement. In addition, it introduced more cost-saving measures such as contract renewal reductions and live, reverse auctions for contracts.
Some other cost-savings strategies by Wolf have included streamlining the state's mailing process and implementing inmate systems management at the Department of Corrections.
Wolf eliminated over $2 billion in costs in the state's General Fund as part of its 2017-18 budget. He also focused on reducing the size of the state's workforce and downsizing facilities.
Furthermore, he consolidated and merged HR and IT across state agencies. As a result, Pennsylvania realized a total of $2.2 billion in recurring savings.

Juniper was a large harbor city in the northwesterly region of the northern continent, located in between two of the snow-topped arms of the Wolander Mountains. Famous for its cold weather and infamous for its cult of the dead, Juniper was the setting for many of the events of Shadows Linger. The deceased were interred in huge Catacombs along with substantial treasures. The inhabitants of other cities to the south, including its nearest neighbor Meadenvil, considered Juniper to be a "bad joke". Juniper was separated from Meadenvil by a land route which could be traversed in two days by a rider who pushed hard, riding day and night. Like Meadenvil, Juniper had neither walls nor gates.
Shadows Linger[edit | edit source]
Juniper would become the first city where a black castle, a portal for the Dominator, emerged. The Castle and its demon defenders, called castle creatures, were besieged and the Lady personally directed her forces in the Battle of Juniper.
After defeating the Dominator, the Lady ordered her soldiers to loot the Catacombs to replenish her coffers. This was an outrageous sacrilege which caused massive rioting led by Hargadon, the senior Custodian. The Lady and her forces were cornered inside the palace Duretile. Much of the city was wrecked when the Lady "lost her temper" and unleashed horrible sorcery. In Pawnbroker's estimation, the city was effectively demolished.
