How China's Rehypothecated "Ghost" Steel Just Vaporized, And What This Means For The World Economy
One of the key stories of 2011 was the revelation, courtesy of MF Global, that no asset in the financial system is "as is", and instead is merely a copy of a copy of a copy- rehypothecated up to an infinite number of times (if domiciled in the UK) for one simple reason: there are not enough money-good, credible assets in existence, even if there are more than enough 'secured' liabilities that claim said assets as collateral. And while the status quo is marching on, the Ponzi is rising, and new liabilities are created, all is well; however, the second the system experiences a violent deleveraging and the liabilities have to be matched to their respective assets as they are unwound, all hell breaks loose once the reality sets in that each asset has been diluted exponentially.
Naturally, among such assets are not only paper representations of securities, mostly stock and bond certificates held by the DTC's Cede & Co., but physical assets, such as bars of gold held by paper ETFs such as GLD and SLV. In fact, the speculation that the physical precious metals in circulation have been massively diluted has been a major topic of debate among the precious metal communities, and is the reason for the success of such physical-based gold and silver investment vehicles as those of Eric Sprott. Of course, the "other side" has been quite adamant that this is in no way realistic and every ounce of precious metals is accounted for. While that remains to be disproven in the next, and final, central-planner driven market crash, we now know that it is not only precious metals that are on the vaporization chopping block: when it comes to China, such simple assets as simple steel held in inventories, apparently do not exist.
From Reuters:
Chinese banks and companies looking to seize steel pledged as collateral by firms that have defaulted on loans are making an uncomfortable discovery: the metal was never in the warehouses in the first place.
This means that in an economy in which the creation of liabilities, and pledging of assets took place at a furious pace in the past 5 years, nobody really knows just what the real state of credit creation truly was. What is 100% certain is that as a result of this revelation, the GDP number of the country, which is and always has been a derivative of credit formation and expansion (and heaven forbid contraction), is massively overrepresenting what it is in reality, and that the Chinese economy has been expanding at a far slower pace if defined not only by the creation of liabilities, but by matched assets. Most importantly, it means that every single Renminbi in circulation is impaired as a country-wide liquidation event would see huge losses by every creditor class. It also would mean, naturally, zero residual value left for the equity.
And just like that the Chinese growth "miracle" goes poof... as does its steel first, and soon all other commodities (coughcoppercough) that served as the basis of "secured" liability creation.
Reuters continues, even if the punchline is already known:
China's demand has faltered with the slowing economy, pushing steel prices to a three-year low and making it tough for mills and traders to keep up with payments on the $400 billion of debt they racked up during years of double-digit growth.
As defaults have risen in the world's largest steel consumer, lenders have found that warehouse receipts for metal pledged as collateral do not always lead them to stacks of stored metal. Chinese authorities are investigating a number of cases in which steel documented in receipts was either not there, belonged to another company or had been pledged as collateral to multiple lenders, industry sources said.
Ghost inventories are exacerbating the wider ailments of the sector in China, which produces around 45 percent of the world's steel and has over 200 million metric tons (220.5 million tons) of excess production capacity. Steel is another drag on a financial system struggling with bad loans from the property sector and local governments.
"What we have seen so far is just the tip of the iceberg," said a trader from a steel firm in Shanghai who declined to be identified as he was not authorized to speak to the media. "The situation will get worse as poor demand, slumping prices and tight credit from banks create a domino effect on the industry."
Ultra-rehypothecation 101:
Police have arrested an employee from Baoyang Warehouse in Shanghai and are investigating documentation for steel stocks that the employee issued to a trading firm, said an official with the surname Ou at Baoyang. Baoyang is owned by China Railway Materials Shanghai Company Limited.
The trade firm used the stocks more than once as collateral to obtain loans, said an executive at Shanghai Minlurin, another trading firm that had steel stocks in the warehouse. The receipts used were for steel worth around 380 million yuan ($59.96 million), the executive said.
Similar cases have prompted some trading houses to temporarily halt transactions related to warehouse receipts, disrupting China's steel business, traders said.
If the above makes readers queasy, it should: after all rehypothecation of questionable assets is precisely what serves as the backbone of that critical component of the shadow banking system: the repo market, where anything goes, and where those who want, can create money virtually out of thin air with impunity as long as nobody checks if the assets used for liability creation are actually in the system (and with JPM as the core private sector tri-party repo entity, secondary only to the Fed, one can see why this question has never actually arisen).
In the meantime, the entire Chinese economy is unraveling:
Banks, too, are giving less credit against warehouse receipts.
"Fake warehouse receipts have become a problem for some banks and because of this, many banks have boosted monitoring of existing stocks at warehouses and temporarily stopped accepting steel stocks as collateral for loans," said a Shanghai-based branch manager from a Chinese bank who declined to be identified as he was not authorized to speak to the media.
Steel mills and end users rely heavily on trading firms to keep steel flowing from producers to consumers. Steel traders often buy consignments with full payment, ensuring cash flow to the mills. End users can buy small volumes from the traders, more convenient for them than the big volumes the mills sell.
Industry sources estimated cases that have already come to light account for about 5 billion yuan ($787.50 million) of bad debt in Shanghai, one of China's biggest steel trading centers.
At another warehouse, a logistics unit of giant steelmaker Baosteel rented a small office to a company called Shanghai Yiye Steel Trade Market Management Co Ltd. Documents were forged stating Yiye was the owner of some of the steel stored in the warehouse, said Wang Xueying, the spokeswoman for the unit called Shanghai Baosteel Logistics Co Ltd.
Yiye used the documents in dealings with two companies, China Railway Harbin Logistics and Wuhan Iron Yitong, the spokeswoman said.
The two companies came to the warehouse to collect the stocks only to find that Yiye did not own the materials, she said. The case is still under investigation, she added.
Nobody answered telephone calls to Yiye made by Reuters to request comment for this story. Both China Railway Harbin Logistics and Wuhan Iron Yitong declined to comment when contacted.
In conclusion we can only add that we hope none of this comes as a surprise to our regular readers: we have been warning for years that i) the inventory of the world's credible assets is literally evaporating in absence of technological efficiency and CapEx spending (which is also the reason for the ECB's endless lowering of collateral requirements) and ii) illegal rehypothecation of assets, which infinitely dilutes claims on real assets, can and will lead to total losses even for investors who thought they had strong collateral backing.
We now know that this has been happening in China with the most critical component of its economic growth miracle: steel. We will soon discover that all other assets: stocks, bonds, commodities (including gold and silver) and finally cash (think deposits) have been comparably rehypothecated and criminally commingled. The end result will be the most epic bank run in world history, which incidentally is precisely what the central banks are attempting desperately to delay as much as possible by generating excess inflation to "inflate" away the debt, leading to rematching of finite assets and virtually infinite liabilities. Alas, in a world in which credit-money liabilities are in the quadrillions, and in which the real assets are in the tens of trillions, only hyperinflation can seal the deal.
Or, in other words, lose-lose.

China was content with accepting Treasuries in return for their labors. No surprize they were also content with paper steel -which doesnt have near the tensile strength- instead of real steel. Maybe they wrongly interpreted the Google translation of ''steal''. Just as warehouse receipts dont equal ''steel'', so GLD, gold certificates, allocated, unallocated doesnt equal ''gold"
It means IOU's, were backed with IOU's, that were backed by IOU's backed by Steel that doesn't exist.
Well, there it is. I usually only mock that strategy in jest, some fool actually did it.
Wouldn't be funny if all that gold they've been buying has been written against the vapour steel?
You have to applaud their initiative. Five years ago they were plowing their excess capacity into empty cities that no one will ever live in. At a certain point they saw the inefficiency in that, skipped the actual production phase, and started filling imaginary warehouses with imaginary steel. And think of the greenhouse gas emission savings!
somebody needs to check the ozs supposedly backing up GLD and SLV.
You don't get it. This calls into question of any delivered asset shipped to China, from China, near China. What was the trade backed with exactly and who ends up with the stolen asset. Because that's what it is at that point. Theft. Biggest gold and silver robbery ever.
They could have underwritten the delivered Gold and Silver with illusionary steel against the cash backed asset of GLD and SLV. Hell, the bonds they've been buying, how were they collaterilzing it. Imaginary steel in empty warehouses.
Chinese firecrackers on a string going off one by one. Pop pop pop crack pop crack...until the big finale.
Then that in turn triggers GLD/SLV clients to review their inventory and find the same thing in their pocket as they were walking in. Nothing. Shell game.
alright this is nothing new...back in the late 80's early 90's,,,this guy selling trailors, if your park has dirt roads, or mobile homes , if your streets are asphalt and a manufactured home if your park has a pool.....was floor planning units to many lenders at one time...this guy was rolling..helicopter, yacht etc.....and swear his company was "johns homes" , yea i know...he was located in delaware....the party eventually ended and john went to jail for quite awhile...the only difference is he went to jail...
What's that thing I'm always saying that I have informed you thusly of?
This article shames China.
Prepare to be attacked when China is finished with Japan.
If not ZH directly, then your at least your proxy servers.
Wait, what happened? I don't speak ground-up hamburger--please elaborate.
...not that ground-up hamburger is entirely unintelligible.
I'm glad I swallowed my sip of wine before I read this, as it would have sprayed the walls.
This must be the Moore's Law of Finance!
Aaaaand,... it's gone!
maybe all that steel was actually there but then turned to dust.
where have I seen that before, oh yeah here:
It was an orbiting SDI defense satellite that did them in along with explosives, so no one would figure it out, the two WTC Towers. Building 7 was explosives only, that's why they had to get rid of it in a hurry, along with all the Dot-Com evidence.
Just like this Iranian facility done late last year, note the absence of creators and other things;Satellite Images Show Iranian Missile Base Destroyed
I can't comment on orbiting satellites as I don't have any evidence of this. But the evidence presented by Dr Wood is compelling and is the only scientific methodology I have seen used to derive an explanation as to what happened. She doesn't speculate as to who or how, just merely what occured which is important as a discerning and inquistive mind can easily be derailed by trolls into who, why etc. Just get the book and see what happened in all it's stark horrendous reality and that is enough to shake the foundations of our conditioned reality. I've owned the book for 2 years and only just mustered the courage to read it.
Aaaaand,...it was never there!
Southpark really hit the bullseye on that episode.
So.. What would happen if China decides to inspect all collateral around the world, in particular with any "things" the USA liened to China, existent or not?
GASP...they did, thieving little shits.
They leveraged their steel against delivered gold. Holy fuck...it's going to be a weird ride now.
I keep tellin anyone listening - use your education: kite credit cards 'till your're an 800 w/100k in revolving credit, payoff your "student loans," buy PMs. Enjoy.
yeah, that's the ticket. Become a slimeball crook because others are doing it.
Or even better, leveraged rehypothicated steel for rehypothicated gold.
Repo 105
What's that thing I'm always saying that I have informed you thusly of?
Lehman with real assets of delivered gold backed by nothing but a fuck you. I wonder what was underwriten with bullshit as well. Anyone take a look at facebook angel investors yet?
Well played China, well played.
Cocktail anyone? Grab a deck chair, beer's in the fridge, coffee's on the stove, snacks are in the fridge. This is going to be a hell of a show.
Well...you want to see an investment backed by a fuck you, then you need to look into the "on line education' fraud that is being 'discovered', nation wide. Robo-signing of diplomas by teachers that never saw the student and had no idea their names were being used by the 'universities'. Worthless degrees 'earned' by students that can't pass 5th grade math, construct a readable sentance, etc.
Just ask Michael ( below) what the ( yes, another one) scandal in Florida is over K12. And the great Governor of Florida has, once again, stone waledl any investigation of the crimes of friends and supporters. Florida....the shinning example for the great USA for integrity.
Now this is scary
Actually, it's not that uncommon. Ask any commercial loan officer. People attempt to pledge single assets multiple times against new loans all the time... called fraud.
Remember the Tea Pot Dome Scandal!
Was done abundantly in MBS/CLO/CDO land as well.
I was wondering when someone was going to come back down to earth. This shit ain't new, just a new player. It's common procedure in the commercial real estate markets. Probably less now that we have appraisers with their wits about them now, but it's not totally gone -- just more clever. As a real estate broker all thru the 1980s I can just shrug my shoulders at this thing the Chinese think they invented. The real sparks will fly as we uncover the Wall Street angle! Now those guys are geniuses at this.
The twist that China may have hit on is getting physical gold & silver delivered based on fake collateral.
Why bother with real estate when you can get physical gold & silver for free?
as much as they want you to believe, and not an ounce more!!!!
You can bet a lot of the copper sitting in Shanghai bonded warehouses is for just this purpose. Why use copper (or any other metal) for collateral when you could use cash, real estate or something else? Because it is easier to use metals fraudulently.
Fraud is driving the commodities boom.
Great article by Professor Michael Pettis of Peking University:
tungsten filled copper bars, anyone.
To badly paraphrase Bertrand Russell-- It's IOU's all the way down.
If you ever had to work with Chinese steel, you would know "paper steel" is of the same quality.
Chinese Steal. That is what the country is all about.
I thought everyone knew where the Chinese steel was. Its stored in American landfills, for petes sake.
Fantastic blog posting, TD but.....
Was there ever really any there there ? ? ?
I mean, would they have offshored all those jobs from America, Japan, UK and Eurozone to China if the labor hadn't been the cheapest 'cause the country was the poorest???
They got the jobs, and others received their purchases of endless financial instruments of debt.
DTCC's Stock Borrow Program (SBP) for naked short selling, unlimited number of naked swaps (unconnected credit default swaps), unlimited number of commodity futures contracts, unlimited number of investors per hedge fund, rehypothecation to the max, and LIBOR manipulation (plus those finer points of securtizations of re-securitizations of re-securitizations, .....).
Is there any there anywhere .....?
haven't you read enough ZH to know by now that China in now way traded treasuries for "their labors"?
One thing you can be sure of about the Chinese rehypo thing is that some people will hang.
Actually, they shoot them in the back of the head. The family has to pay for the bullet and their organs are sold. Chinese justice is s bit rough by our standards, but it is an effective deterrent.
either the steel gets delivered or the fraudster does.
That'd be perfect for Corzine.
My bologna has a first name , it's JOHN , My bologna has a second name it's Corzine...
Steel your money.
Sounds like their steel was involved in a terrible boating accident... OR somebody ended up stealing the steel!
This is really a profound turning-point ZeroHedge article actually ...
The whole concept of a 'receipt for goods held on your behalf' is really dead, all around the world ... vapourised ...
'Give me a loan, and I'll give you a receipt for full collateral held safe and secure in a warehouse in China!'
Groucho Marx foresaw this decades ago ...
« I'll give you my personal note for 90 days ... and if I don't pay you back, you can keep the note. »
Is the mechanism by which everything will be vaporized. Skips right past the hyperinflation run-up and goes directly to fail.

Look at MF Global and the rest, we are going to see something that will make the great depression look like a 1% down day in the stock market. Instead of China put in the US, we are in the same boat and it's alot worse. Once the dominoes start falling, it will be a mad dash out the door.
Man that travel through turnstile sideways going to bang cock.

Is this why China stocks were down over 2% last night while the rest of Asia was up?
Looks like what all our indexes will look like once war breaks out. Repatriation flows.
Days of Iraq/Afghanistan quagmires are over. Next blowups are standup fights, country to country. So if you are about to go to war, you pull your funds/projects...everything out of the country that looks like it's about to go all out war.
Asia is still selling.

Surprise, bitchez!
(Shoulda gone for Remington Steele.)
Does this mean commies are still lying ?.......i thought the Chinese were honest capitalists now.
Let me check with OBlameO....sure there's a video about that somewhere.
They are merely doing what every other "developed world" capitalist is doing: lying and making stuff up.

Here I got the soup you ordered... Cream of Sum Yung Guy. Waiter told me it was a little salty but said you don't mind. Now get your purse Nancy...time to blow this Popsicle stand.

Be sure to tip your waitress.
what does this chinese situation do to the assets and profits of a global steel oligarch like Mittal; is it good or bad for him, given that steel prices are falling, as is demand?
This could be contagion big time.
It's still a physical asset, because the steel just vanished and the Chinese have a habit of killing executives that do bad business. I'm going to guess someone is going to go have to go buy a shit load of steel that they loaned out more times than they have steel.
Like the Tylers and others in the thread, this is where a steel backed bank run happens and people look to cash out of their position. All the reasons fractional reserve anything is a stupid idea. Credit is extended to many people for the same object many times over.
Sudden catastrophic failure.
Possible, but I still don't think it will happen. Preventing that is the real plan, IMO - not the "catastrophic failure" part, the "sudden" part.
Kind of like trying to steer a train. It's the velocity that kills you.
Feel like we've all been through this tap dance over the last five years repeatedly. Smoke and mirrors.
Thing is... with a bank run the its only currency that has been re-hypothicated.. Contrrol-P fixes that problem. Not so easy w steel.
Even harder with gold since there is so much less of it.
The smoke is about cleared. Now the mirrors are breaking, revealing that millions of tons of steel turned out to be one I-Beam...
+1. The goal is to streeeeeettttttcccchhhh it out over time. I don't think they have the luxury of enough time though. The feedback loop is negative and accelerating.
the steel has been salted safely away and is all accounted for
together with the tungsten
in a storage facility just south of louisville
Someone may have to buy a shitload of steel, but if it is Chinese, then all you will get is a load of shit steel.
Well I'm still waiting on a supplier but would you give me 60 million and I'll get the underwriter to give me a lien on my enormous pile of steel.
Where do I store it?
Next to the BreX pile of gold.
Yes indeed, sign right here, I'll take your 30 years bonds, brb
Bank of America I can some bonds issued by your government and I would like to buy SLV/GLD.
<year later>
Yes I would like to have the gold delivered.
Sure I'll ship the steel over after I recieve my gold shipment.
<BDI shits the bed>
I'm having trouble obtaining secure passage of the steel, do you have a reference on your end that can be used.
Fuck...some stole all my steel and every ounce of my BreX gold pile.
Call the insurance company we've been robbed of 800,000 metric tonnes of refined market grade steel.
Insurance industry implodes with the force of a thousand suns at this point along with every insurance policy and pension chain on the planet.
fraud by insiders is excluded
Mittal is in deep deep trouble - seriously paid up for ten years to amass capacity on multiple continents - and now competes with a nationalized chinese steel industry with over 220 million ton capacity with the deepest credit lines in the world - prices could be anything going forward for every steel product imaginable
look to 1978-1986 in usa as tariffs and import limits were taken off in 1980 - competed with government owned steel cos - ALL went BK: Wheeling Pitt / J & L / Bethlehem / Lone Star / on and on - Houston and New Orleans had foreign sourced dumped OCTG pipe inventories - in 1982 - that lasted for almost 10 years
And what happens to Hugh Hendry's "short Japanese steel" play? Maybe since the steel doesn't exist in the first place, the price for the real stuff will hold up? And how about iron ore? Sounds bullish for iron ore to me. People will need real steel and when they discover the warehouses are empty there will be a price melt-up.
It's going up because this other is going down but not really because they guy lied so it's going down but that other guy was lying too when he said he owned some....now I have a migraine.
Jean-Claude Juncker: "When it becomes serious, you have to lie!".
This quote pretty much sums up the entire economic and political world we live in today. No matter which language you speak, or in what country you live, this universal statement has to be the easiest to translate amongst all the languages spoken on this Earth....with perhaps the exception of "You wan good time? Twenny dolla!"
So they don't have steel, they don't buy anything jugding from Baltic index, it looks like they decided to survive without steel for few months.
So is man born evil or is it a matter of a diseased brain?
Age old question.
Man is born to reproduce.
Man is what "works" – if it didn't work we wouldn't be here. Women are caring and nurturing and men are promiscuous; end of story really. We kill shit and eat it. If you have food I kill you (or take it) and eat it. Want to see what man is really like? Remove the modern farm tractors, electricity, easy oil, refrigeration, cement highways, etc, etc. We have always killed each other and we always will – sad but true.
I was curious about that too.
China started their housing bubble in full swing when the US housing was beginning to burst.
If a pig drinks a quart of buttermilk before he starts,
and runs a mile before he farts,
the farther he runs, the farther he gets,
how far will he get before he shits?
Now, in order for me to calculate the answer,
I must know where the fart was let.
A farmer by the roadside saw the pig pass,
with buttermilk squirting from his ass.
Now, the farmer was a mile from where the pig started,
and the pig passed the farmer just after he farted.
It was so funny, the farmer had to laugh
while the pig ran nearly a mile and a half.
Now, if the pig is lucky and can control his gas,
and can run a mile with a puckered ass,
it seems to me if he can keep his wits,
he can run five miles before he shits.
Squirting counts, too.
He squirted right after farting at the 1-mile Farmer's-Marker.
The rest is just distraction.
Game Over!
That's technically a shart. The poem needs updating to include the new vernacular.
I must have missed this Dr. Seuss story when I was a kid....or was my childhood environment sterilized against my will? Wonder what kind of tricks that piggy could do with green eggs and (cannibalized) ham in it's gut?

Once the Alert sounds, if I go in to Edit the Event and delete the Alert, it does not recur if edited properly. (I do use multi-day All Day Events).
This is most annoying, BTW. Because I trust these devices to be accurate and to do what I expect within their rather few limitations compared to the rest of the techno-device universe.
What am I not doing? What should be undone?
Thanks for any help.

A report from the CDC shows that schools are failing to teach about STI and pregnancy prevention. But even if they were, students would still be left in the dark about many important issues.
The GOP presidential hopeful is lending her support to the latest in a string of unsuccessful California ballot measures to mandate parental notification for minors seeking abortion care.
Colorado's governor is again seeking funds for a program that has reduced teen pregnancy and abortion rates by half.
Colorado's chief medical officer is trumpeting data showing that a pregnancy-prevention program has reduced teen abortion and pregnancy rates. A state GOP lawmaker says the program is "killing children."
Our goal is to refocus the dialogue about Black women's reproductive health decisions back to the real conditions of our lives. Conditions which, if unmet, leave us vulnerable in many instances, with abortion as a choice we have been forced into.
Colorado health officials have secured about half the funds that state Republicans voted down this year to run a program that slashed teen pregnancy rates by 40 percent.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released new data Wednesday that shows fewer teens, especially younger teens, are having sex, and the majority of those who become sexually active use contraception the first time they have sex.
Title IX changed the course of history for many individuals when it comes to athletics and being able to partake in programs that discriminate against individuals based on sex. But when we talk about the landmark legislation, people still don't seem to understand what it truly means—and doesn't mean.
It would be difficult to imagine a 2015 session that could have rivaled the 2013 special summer session in terms of restrictions. But dangerous bills did get traction this year—and some made their way into law.
After years of controversy, sex education will now be mandatory in Hawaii schools just as data suggests recent efforts to improve sex ed have worked to reduce teen pregnancy and abortion rates.

For your consideration I am listing this spectacular late 1940s - early 1950s vintage Crown Trifari three piece parure in rhodium plate. Magnificent ice blue baguette, pear, oval and marquise rhinestones grace the necklace, bracelet and earrings with accent swirls of pave set clear round brilliants. (The bracelet also includes clear baguettes alternating with ice blue baguettes.) Truly a showcase of Trifari's excellence during it's reign as the "Rhinestone Kings". You will appreciate Trifari's commitment to quality - their exacting standards in the production of fashion jewelry. Is it any wonder parures from this period are some of Trifari's most coveted and desirable.
The set pictured includes the necklace, adjustable from about 13 1/2 inches to 15 1/2 inches with hook type closure, clear baguette extension chain and ice blue rhinestone end charm. Width is about 7/16 inch. The decorative rhinestone links embellish the entire length of the necklace for uninterrupted coverage. The bracelet is approximately 7 inches x 1/2 inch with baguette rhinestone set foldover clasp. Completing the parure are the domed clip earrings at about 1 1/8 inches across with a 3/8 inch profile.
Each piece in the set is signed. Necklace is signed on the inside of the hook with "Trifari". Bracelet is signed on it's original foldover clasp with "Trifari". Each original earring clip is signed "Trifari". There are no copyright symbols, dating the set prior to 1955.
Condition of all pieces is excellent vintage. All components intact. All stones intact and brilliant. Colored stones retain superb ice blue or as some would describe -- light sapphire color. Clear rhinestones retain brilliance with no dark or cloudy stones. All rhodium plate intact. Earring clips and bracelet clasp strong and secure. No damage / no repairs. Please keep in mind that while in excellent vintage condition the set is about 60 years old and it will not appear brand new. That said -- I think you will find it one of the best examples of Trifari's work during this period. It is outstanding in every way. A timeless Trifari Classic.
Please add $6.50 for shipping. Payment is due within five days of sale. Thanks for taking a look!

This unexpectedly arrived before time and in plenty of time for our Vacation Bible Study craft lesson. Wonderful service thank you
|by Michelle
|Date Added: Tuesday 28 July, 2015
These were perfect for prizes at our nautical-themed Vacation Bible School. We gave them to 75 children to play with for a week, and in that time only 2 of the clasps broke which I considered to be pretty good at this price point. The clips are small, but the description was accurate, so I was expecting that. These are not household-duty carabiners to perform actual tasks, but they make great gift items for kids!

The band is a roving tribe of musicians, based in Portland, Ore., with great chops, lovely voices and lots of ambition. Frontman Tim Perry, playing electric guitar, is backed by bassist Rob Oberdorfer, drummer Levi Cecil, keyboardist Becca Shultz, Annie Bethancourt on acoustic guitar and Sarah Riddle on percussion. All members sing.
The group is touring in support of their newest album "Divisionary," released in March 2014, on Partisan Records. Their first release in three years, the sound is a much merrier and more meditative offering than 2011's "Alright You Restless." The sort-of title track is "Divisionary (Do the Right Thing)," a track featuring spare but warm instrumentals with vocals that rise and stabilize like a gospel hymn.
"Light Goes Out" begins with an intro of choral pop and percussion snaps reminiscent of folkie trendsters Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, and the chorus itself is an upbeat, hypnotic loop. Oberdorfer's bass prickles across "I See More," the various swells collapsing into the breathless vocals that harmonize so well that they seem like a single hand-picked part from a round. Shultz's keys on "No Pressure" are underscored by McDonald's jangly guitar, and the overall theme is a mid-service testimony at a tent revival.
Ages and Ages raise their collective voices to make a joyful noise, and "Divisionary" preaches the sermon of being true to oneself and creating something that falls as often as it can on the right side of the divide.

South Africa's Cope Sees Support Slump After Power Struggle
The Congress of the People, formed by dissidents from South Africa's ruling African National Congress, hemorrhaged support in yesterday's municipal election following a power struggle between its two top leaders.
With 9.1 million votes counted, the party garnered 2.6 percent of ballots cast, compared with 7.4 percent in parliamentary elections in 2009, just four months after its formation.
Mosiuoa Lekota, a former defense minister and ANC chairman, and his deputy, Mbhazima Shilowa, an ex-labor union leader and governor of the central Gauteng province, waged a protracted battle for the leadership of Cope. Lekota emerged the victor following several lawsuits that alienated many party followers and caused the resignation of its parliamentary leader, Mvume Dandala.
Cope would have "definitely done far better" without the dispute, Lekota said in an interview in Pretoria today. "There were lots of internal problems. I've never had any illusions that Cope could become a party in one year or two years of the size that could take government."
Many of Cope's leaders are veterans of South Africa's struggle for democracy who backed former President Thabo Mbeki's failed 2007 bid to win a third term as head of the ANC, losing out to the current president, Jacob Zuma. Their credibility among the black majority gave them hope that the party could challenge the monopoly on power the ANC has held since winning the nation's first all-race elections in 1994.
No Surprise
Cope's loss of support was unsurprising, given the internal wrangling, Ebrahim Fakir, an analyst at the Johannesburg-based Electoral Institute for the Sustainability of Democracy in Africa, said in a telephone interview.
Some of Cope's supporters may have switched to the Democratic Alliance, the main opposition party, which won 22.3 percent of the preliminary vote tally. The party garnered 16.7 percent of votes in 2009.
"The collapse of Cope is the great tragedy of this election," DA leader Helen Zille said in an interview in Pretoria today. "We need strong opposition parties if we want to boost democracy."
Lekota said he expects a rebound in his party's fortunes.
"We still have a presence in all of the provinces," he said. "We can only grow and go forward."

Career Fairs: Virtual and Onsite
Career fairs are an important component in helping members advance their careers. Onsite career fairs often accompany annual meetings, while virtual career fairs have been gaining popularity as a way to complement in-person events. Leveraging the expertise of our event solutions and communications businesses, Boxwood can fully manage and market onsite and virtual career fairs for associations.
Virtual Career Fairs
Boxwood's Virtual Career Fairs are another way for your association to play a key role in the career development of your membership, drive traffic to your website, and generate non-dues revenue. Job seekers learn about employers, view and apply for positions, and even chat with recruiters. Employers gain access to your highly qualified talent pool without the expense associated with in-person events.
Virtual Career Fairs increase the visibility and value of your career center. They also serve as a great extension of traditional onsite career fairs by allowing you to offer a virtual "meet and greet" a few days before the live event to enhance the in-person experience. They also build your employers' audience through the requirement that all virtual fair attendees register with your career center.
Boxwood will help you every step of the way. We'll market the event to your job seekers and employers, manage the customer service for employers and job seekers participating in the fully integrated virtual career fair event. We'll even manage the billing/collections for the job posting and registration fees employers pay to attend the event.
And, the Virtual Career Fair comes integrated with your Career Center enabling you to cross-promote each service – increase your site traffic and revenue opportunities at the same time!
Virtual Career Fairs Are A Win For Everyone!

CareerWire Newsletters
CareerWire helps your association become the leading source of industry-related updates and job openings.
CareerWire is a monthly eNewsletter focused on industry, employment and hiring trends specific to each association. Integrated with your career center, CareerWire also includes a feed of job openings to drive traffic back to your association's career center.
Boxwood has taken the eNewsletter expertise of Naylor and integrated the career center know-how of Boxwood to create a powerful hybrid. CareerWire combines the engaging power of career-related news with the attraction of current job listings and employment-focused content.
Boxwood editors curate industry-specific content relevant to an association's members on a monthly basis. Headline news from their industry, a "market watch" outlook and forecast section, as well as job listings and career-related information. A typical CareerWire issue will also provide four advertising opportunities for an association to earn non-dues revenue. Boxwood does all the work with little to no staff involvement needed by an association.
Career Center Networks
Expand the reach and power of your job board by connecting to Boxwood's Career Center Network. Your association's job board will be linked to others in your industry. Connecting associations into one network expands the reach of your association while at the same time neutralizing the competition. Plus, the extra jobs posted will be branded to your site.
Associations that are part of Boxwood career center networks generate 20 percent more revenue than non-network associations.
- Your association immediately taps into a larger network of employers and job seekers that can be leveraged to generate non-dues revenue, increase your online presence, and gain association prospects.
- Your talent pool will benefit from unprecedented exposure to their resumes and an increase in job opportunities.
- Corporate members gain an improved ROI with more exposure and access to a larger database of qualified industry candidates.
- Jobs that get posted to your site from members of a Boxwood network will be branded to your site. Visitors will give you credit for the posting.
- We will not post jobs through a network that require someone to register on another site – we don't want to help your competition.
Associations in Boxwood-managed networks are the best in their industry.
Boxwood networks include:
- National Healthcare Career Network
- Engineering & Science Career Network
- Financial Job Exchange
- Legal Job Exchange
- Life Sciences Career Network
- Sports & Athletics Career Network

We will call on your behalf, keeping your message on target and your image professional.
Every successful professional has had the support of a mentor.
Boxwood's eCareerMentor software module simplifies the organization of your association's own mentoring program. eCareerMentor automates the initial meet-up between mentors and mentees through a user-friendly online interface. Our module fits seamlessly into your existing job board or can be implemented on its own.
eCareerMentor's turnkey operation gives members at all stages of their career a reason to get and stay involved with your association. This online mentoring interface immediately communicates relevance to the next generation entering the workforce by offering them support they'll need to succeed. Those late in their careers appreciate the opportunity to pass on their wisdom and learn about new technologies and trends.
Mentoring programs are often rated among the most valuable in member satisfaction surveys. Built for associations, the eCareerMentor online module offers you control by being flexible in the way it supports the mentoring process.
eCareerMentor is an exciting online benefit you can offer members to help them realize the benefits of association membership at every stage of their career.

I'm not sure when exactly this became a thing, but nowadays pregnant women are encouraged to think about what kind of music they'd like to listen to in the delivery room at the hospital. My informal history of this goes back to ER when Sherry Stringfield's crazy sister was adamant about listening to the Beatles' "Blackbird" as she delivered her baby, and if I remember, they couldn't get the tape to play or something so everyone sang to her as she had her baby.
If you read this blog regularly you know I'm a fan of putting together playlists, especially for working out, dancing and parties. I used to also make mix tapes for road trips and falling asleep and romance and cheering up friends. I even made one to play in the salon on my wedding day for when I got my hair and makeup done.

Reviewed By Robert B (GLENDALE, AZ) Reviewed for a 2004 Toyota 4Runner —7/31/2015 8:17 PM
The cover is pretty nice. It is a little thin but seems to fit perfectly on my dash. The velcro stickers that come with it don't stick real well until they get hot and then they stick to the dash. I also bought a steering wheel cover from the same company. I wouldn't recommend getting one of them. I have tried for 3 days to put it on and it won't go. I also paid for overnight delivery and it is only good during the week.

Quotes & Highlights
Visit Momix's website for photos, info on past works, a troupe history and more.
Defying categorization just as its dancers defy gravity, Moses Pendleton's company of dancer-illusionists is celebrated around the world for its ability to conjure enthralling images using light, shadow, props, and the boundless invention of the human body. Widely hailed as their hottest show yet, Botanica traffics in the tension between illusion and reality, following the rhythms of the seasons, but also the evolution of the world and the passing of a day. To a score that includes Vivaldi's "Four Seasons", flowers bloom, go to seed and die; vegetable, animal and mineral—all in human form—combine and metamorphose in spectacular moving tableaux creating a total dance theatre environment.

What is a "Skeptic"?
A good concise definition of "skeptic" comes from Dr. Steven Novella in his article, Skeptic – The Name Thing Again:
A skeptic is one who prefers beliefs and conclusions that are reliable and valid to ones that are comforting or convenient, and therefore rigorously and openly applies the methods of science and reason to all empirical claims, especially their own. A skeptic provisionally proportions acceptance of any claim to valid logic and a fair and thorough assessment of available evidence, and studies the pitfalls of human reason and the mechanisms of deception so as to avoid being deceived by others or themselves. Skepticism values method over any particular conclusion.
This definition is sometimes called Scientific Skepticism or Methodological Skepticism which emphasizes the methodology to reach conclusions, versus the "old school" of Philosophical Skepticism which questions the certainty of any knowledge. Modern skepticism as a movement follows the principles of Scientific Skepticism.
The Organization
The North Texas Skeptics was incorporated in 1989 as non-profit corporation within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) and the Texas Tax Code Section 11.18(c)(1). The organization was founded with the following mission:
- Help people develop better thinking skills so that they may evaluate information and sources more critically and independently.
- Promote good science and high quality scholarship for a better understanding of ourselves and the Universe.
- Put claims of pseudoscience, the paranormal, and the occult to the test of real science, logic, and common sense.
- Act as a source of reliable scientific and factual information on these issues, not only to the organization's members, but also to the public, educational institutions, and the news media.
