Venezuela Launches First Nuke In Currency Wars, Devalues Currency By 46%
While the rest of the developed world is scrambling here and there, politely prodding its central bankers to destroy their relative currencies, all the while naming said devaluation assorted names, "quantitative easing" being the most popular, here comes Venezuela and shows the banana republics of the developed world what lobbing a nuclear bomb into a currency war knife fight looks like:
And that, ladies and gents of Caracas, is how you just lost 46% of your purchasing power, unless of course your fiat was in gold and silver, which just jumped by about 46%. And, in case there is confusion, this is in process, and coming soon to every "developed world" banana republic near you.
and just as we (and Kyle Bass) have warned - this is what happens to the nominal price of a stock market as currency wars escalate... how do those US investors who flooded Venezuela with cash feel now? bringing back those VEF gains is going to hurt...
The chart above is a free lesson in nominal vs real: the hardest lesson for some 99.9% of the world's population to grasp. One person who certainly knows how to devalue a currency in real terms FDR, whose 70% devaluation of the USD courtesy of executive order 6102, is merely an appetizer of what is about to be unleashed upon the US.
From Bloomberg:
Venezuela devalued its currency for the fifth time in nine years as ailing President Hugo Chavez seeks to narrow a widening fiscal gap and reduce a shortage of dollars in the economy.
The government will weaken the exchange rate by 32 percent to 6.3 bolivars per dollar, Finance Minister Jorge Giordani told reporters today in Caracas. The government will keep the currency at 4.3 per dollar for some products, he said.
A spending spree that almost tripled the government's fiscal deficit last year helped Chavez win his third term. Chavez ordered the devaluation from Cuba, where he is recovering from cancer surgery, Giordani said. Venezuela's fiscal deficit widened to 11 percent of gross domestic product last year from 4 percent in 2011, according to Moody's Investors Service.
The move can help narrow the budget deficit by increasing the amount of bolivars the government gets from taxes on oil exports. While a weaker currency may fuel annual inflation of 22 percent, it may ease shortages of goods ranging from toilet papers to cars.
In the black market, the bolivar is trading at 18.4 per dollar, according to Lechuga Verde, a website that tracks the rate. Venezuelans use the unregulated credit market because the central bank doesn't supply enough dollar at the official rates to meet demand.

Nero and other emperors debased the currency in order to supply a demand for more coins. By debasing the currency it meant that instead of a coin having its own intrinsic value, it was now only representative of the silver or gold it had once contained. By the time of Claudius II Gothicus (268-270 A.D.) the amount of silver in a supposedly (100%) silver denarius was only .02%.
Especially luxurious emperors like Commodus, who marked the end of the period of the five good emperors, depleted the imperial coffers. By the time of his assassination, the Empire had almost no money left.
The Cato Institute (a modern free-market think tank) says that emperors deliberately overtaxed the senatorial (or ruling) class in order to render it powerless. To do this, the emperors needed a powerful set of enforcers -- the imperial guard.
Once the wealthy and powerful were no longer either rich or powerful, the poor had to pay the bills of the state. These bills included the payment of the imperial guard and the military troops at the empire's borders.
Money for nothing and war for free.
That my friend, is a collectable.
And I will repeat it often and frequently.
Would make a great bumper sticker - still, most sheeple wouldn't get it - still more, we have to fight the other sides propaganda, so why not try.
I find it interesting that oil is no longer a source of "hard currency." Hmmm. Shall i invest in Russia?
Totally agree Trav. You can never go wrong turning in Bernank bucks for gold or silver. If you hold it you own it.
+1 for Bernank bucks
Shut up Trav, our founders made a fine Constitutional Republic. maybe you'd of been a Tory. Times have changed though, Revolution 2 coming to a community near you.
More government is never a good answer to the problem of government.
Otoh, less government is neither a good answer to the problem of an unregulated economy.
Yeah, it's so tragic when government coercion is eliminated, and people have the opportunity to make non-coerced, voluntary transactions amongst themselves. /sarc
Ahh, yes. Those poor destitute children living with their parents paying criminally coerced rent. It's a crisis!
Of course, I'm sure you've given serious thought to the fact that it is the State that lays claim to enormous amounts of land which it refuses to make available to anybody not politically connected. Then again, you're probably smart enough to not attempt to homestead property against the will of the sole entity that has a monopoly on force over a given territory. It's so much easier to side with the State and immorally confiscate the just property of peaceful people against their will you big brave man.
Spare me your mock illogical, immoral outrage Einstein.
Tell that to farmers arrassed by Monsanto over gmo tainted crops, for one - that's what you get when you let corporations gain control over economy, but don't let that worry you and keep dreaming about self regulated markets.
Which economy do you think is under-regulated?
How many hundreds of thousands of pages of rules do you think there should be to create a perfectly regulated economy?
Bureaucracy may as well just hide the lack of actual regulation (which has nothing to do with red tape). Good regulation implies both clear and to the point laws and enforcement of said laws.
I would also add that venezuela was a colony of spain and probably had slaves as well in whatever nation that bolivar founded. I just think that our founding and see what a miracle it was to create a constitutional republic that lasted for a long time. My ancesters were not here at the founding but I am thankful that they had a place to escape to that was not venezuela or any other latin american shit hole. Now I agree that today we live in something that vaguely resembles the constitutional republic at the founding but it is better than living under a series of despotic morons like chavez, castro, etc. By the way, fuck you bernanke!
I would also add that Venezuela was a colony of Spain and probably had slaves
The Spanish enslaved the native peoples to work in the mines. In what became the fine state of California, the Spanish also had the native slaves build the missions so that the fine Catholic religion could flourish.
eventually, black slaves were brought in as they were qualitatively superior slaves to the injuns, most of whom were even lazier.
there's a reason that words for slave = black, I think it's hebrew as this desert nomad war tribe slave trade has gone on for a VERY long time.
Slaves turned many colonies and islands into economic powerhouses....which were promptly reverted to african norms upon dissolution of slavery. Incidentally, a lot of people bring up Trinidad as "oh not ALL the darkies have high murder rates." Might wanna look a little deeper into that...their darkness isn't solely from africans. Trinidad has a very high percentage of east indian, as do several areas in South america. Indian<>african.
"most of whom were even lazier". Trav777, do you have any idea how carelessly you reveal yourself? Lazier?Injuns? As if resisting slavemasters is laziness. You are breathtakingly stupid.
And racist.
And what racial group do you blame for the devaluation of the dollar in gold from $20.67 to $35.00 back in '33?
Your constant, blathering racism is a tiresome meme.
hmm..let's see here...who is commonly associated with banking....
I mean, really don't lob me softballs. The founders put us on a fucking bimetallism standard; it's written into the fuckin constitution
There was a reason why the founders only wanted gold and silver coins... the British were counterfeiting the Continental.
Gold and silver were around and used for "trading" before the "jews" even came into existance. And to this day is still used.
Been around for a long time.
Allow me to shed some light here... to your question Ignatius,
Re 46% devaluation in Caracas, error in article Tyler has posted
Was actually similar to the FDR devaluation in the USA, just over 40%, not as said above in the article:
« ... FDR, whose 70% devaluation of the USD courtesy of executive order 6102 ... » signed on 5 April 1933
It is funny how often the 1933 Roosevelt devaluation of the dollar is cited wrongly ... one also sees 60% or other erroneous figures as well. Here are the maths:
When it took US $20.67 to buy an ounce of gold, then 1 dollar was worth .0483 ounces of gold
When it took US $35.00 to buy an ounce of gold, then 1 dollar was worth .0285 ounces of gold
So the dollar would buy .0198 ounces less of gold than the earlier quantity of .0483 ounces ... in other words, 40.9% less (Take 40.9% of 483 and you get 198)
Of course Americans in their 'land of freedom', just having won the right to drink back, after 14 years of religious fanatic insane 'Prohibition' of alcohol, then couldn't buy gold again until the 1970s
uh, Prohibition was an Amendment as well...the PEOPLE ceded the right to drink before repealing the ban
What about the part where he made it illegal to buy gold again until 1975 when the price was over $175 ??
Black history professor, Tony Martin, writes that slave trade was founded and built by Jews.
I thought Trav was anti metal. What gives? Where's the real Trav777??
Say 'meanwhile' again motherfucker!
Let me introduce you to the gimp...
Dear Venezuelans, your government just went medieval on your ass.
"get your foot off the nigger"
I bet you there are many people down there now who are "pretty fuckin far from okay."
But not so much if you are a foreign tourist at a Caracas beach hotel.
Your vacation there just got way cheaper.
Caracas is a dump. Isla de Margarita baby! That's the place to go.
lol, yea you can have it.
Nope. It will however prompt other OPEC members to force their currencies in a inflationary manner to counter a primary member of the Oil producers that just cut it's own nuts off.
again "Canadian crude goes for sixty bucks a barrel." that is...interestingly..."40% cheaper than what the Americans are paying right now." this is a big deal...amazing story especially for folks like me who think that oil rich nations can simply "print prosperity." now we all know "there's the limit." but again to compare this to the FDR devaluation is beyond ridiculous. where was the inflation that resulted from it? the answer of course is "there wasn't any." the USA can...and still DOES "print steel." combined with steel reinforced poured concrete and simply put "there was no devaluation in '33." there was a RE-valuation...in the form of "your gold and silver could suddenly buy some very valuable US stuff." but hell...Henry Ford could produce the Model T for 500 bucks...and still make a profit. Wait 'till Ford finds a way to do that with the Ford Taurus.
Have you ever thought about getting one of those things that has little compartments for pills that are labeled for each day of the week?
your gold can become VERY valuable if prices collapse "save for gold." of course land prices could collapse as well...40% sound about right?
Don't hold your breath on it. We only get to do that with cheap energy. Steel is wrought from power otherwise it's just a rock.
The Canadian oil is still over priced. It's Dirty Oil. If you've striped an engine in the last five years you'll notice lots of extra goop in them now a days. The Canadian 'oil' is tar that originally was meant for roads 20 years ago. Remember when roads were worked on once every five years instead of being repaved every 1 year.
Over 20 years we've taken a cost venture like road works and forced the costs of the process by 400% because we are now using anything we think we can refine and burn in an engine. That in a nutshell is peak oil...until folks clue into what the subsitute is and how fast it's being depleted.
BTW doesn't matter where you are from now. All frogs are in the same pot now and here we are telling the others to jump out of the slowly boiling pot. Doesn't matter at this point, waste of time and energy.

Protracted Depression in the Mature American Economy
THE PRESENT and the subsequent chapter examine, in the light of the available American materials, certain hypotheses concerning the causes of "stagnant trends" and of "protracted depressions" in mature economies. It is not essential here to discuss in detail the problem of the limitations of time-series analysis. Economic time series do not relate to homogeneous universes, and, consequently, statistical generalizations derived from them are, strictly speaking, always "invalid." Nevertheless, the study of factual material is helpful in the same sense as that in which experience is helpful in everyday life. What the "correct" conclusions are that should be read from given factual material frequently is as controversial a question as is that concerning the "correct" behavior on the basis of a given experience in everyday life. Yet experience in both realms is of value.
The problem here is not that of finding the determinants of some observable economic equilibrium, but rather that of forming an opinion on the likelihood of certain influences raising or lowering the range of fluctuations, and of certain processes changing the duration of periods of low activity in relation to periods of high activity.
Considering the significant trend toward rising output per manhour, the achievement of a high level of employment in the long run requires a substantially rising trend in physical output. The avoidance of severe cyclical unemployment requires that the range within which output fluctuates should be high, or, if this range reaches down to low levels, that the periods during which output remains low should be brief. It is a fact that in certain stages of

So he didn't when he started designing team owner Daryl Katz a new home for the NHL team.The 20,500-seat arena spills out beyond the seating area to include a "winter garden," a multi-use climate-controlled public space outside that connects the new $480 million venue paid for by public and private funds to a new light rail terminal, a community rink, and local business opportunities. New renderings of the arena were unveiled, giving us "final designs" and updates on the old look (see below).Inside the arena, Ralston says the design plays off old-school seating bowls and nostalgic designs that offered more intimate settings. "They are very inspiring, it puts everybody right on top of the ice and gives you great sightlines," he says. As premium seating ballooned during the last few decades, seating began to stretch away from the ice and Ralston says with more than 9,000 people in the lower bowl, he wanted to get the largest population possible close to the ice.But even for the fans higher up, the chance to catch the game from a catwalk will provide a fun first for an NHL arena.To tie the interior of the arena to the exterior, 360 Architecture plans a glassed-in production area for television broadcasts that allows fans to gawk from the sidewalk. Keeping that theme going, Ralston says the design team wanted to stray far from making the new downtown Edmonton arena a "bunker," instead using transparency and daylight through clear glass—the rest of the exterior is masonry and zinc—to give the arena some life.The Oilers, who currently play in the 40-year old 16,800-seat Rexall Place northeast of downtown, expect to move into their new digs in 2016 and have promised to remain in Edmonton for at least the next 35 years. The oil should stick around that long, too.Tim Newcomb covers stadiums, design and technology for Sports Illustrated.

Rapper's 'Asleep' Aims To Wake People Up
Hear the songs
Rapper Asher Roth grew up in Morrisville, Pa., a suburb of Philadelphia. In an interview with NPR's Guy Raz, Roth describes his hometown as a place of "green grass lawns, strollers, trees, little league baseball and the Morrisville pool." The circumstances of his early life are not typical of other rappers, and neither is his whiteness. So it's no surprise that his latest release, Asleep In The Bread Aisle, has generated many different reactions.
His music appears to be straightforward. His album's hit single, "I Love College," is about partying and drinking. But Roth has a broader vision for his music. "I personally want people to think," he says. "And not just through my music but generally through life."
Roth says he wants his music to challenge the conventions that he believes constrict the hip-hop community. "The hip-hop community needs to be more about enlightening and awakening rather than the struggle," he says. "There's millions of kids just like me who didn't grow up in a struggle and didn't suffer hardships but are very much inspired and influenced by hip-hop."

There's a poster of the space shuttle Endeavour landing in Florida mounted in Mike Murray's science classroom at Skyview High School.
Just last week, the Endeavour completed its 13th and final mission. It's headed for display at a Los Angeles science museum, shelved for posterity. As is the entire shuttle program.
Sort of an eerie parallel to U.S. hydrogen fuel cell technology.
In fact, NASA has used the simple process to run the shuttle fleet for its entire 30-year run. Liquefied hydrogen is charged and pushed through a membrane to produce hydrogen gas, used to generate electricity. Clean, reusable water is the main byproduct.
Not so different from the way a battery works, the fuel cell has been an invaluable NASA resource since 1964.
Yet, here we Americans are, pumping $4 per gallon, imported gasoline into our century-old internal combustion engines.
That chafes Murray. He tells his Skyview freshman students of his own salad days, paying 25 cents per gallon. Of handing an attendant a $5 bill for a fill-up. And getting back change.
In his yearlong course, the first half Earth Science, and then, Physical Science, he urges ninth-graders to become the catalyst for change.
"I've told you, the future belongs to the inventor," Murray reminded on Tuesday. "We can remake the future, and make it the way we want it to be."
Now astride the soapbox, Murray pounds his point home: "We want to find a way to set our country free, and the way to do it is with energy. It's about the greatest freedom I can imagine.
"Hydrogen fuels is exactly where we're going with this country. Detroit can either get with the program, or watch the revolution," he declared.
A pause.
Then a mumbled question, "What's Detroit?"
We're a long ways from the frantic space race of the 1960s, when crew-cut nerds in horn-rimmed glasses and white coats conquered the initial slice of outer space, advancing and exalting the American Way. A long way, too, from Motor City magic.
Today, teens can imagine most anything: Time shifting, time travel, cloaking and cloning, warp speed and worm holes and phasers and quantum physics, right there inside every cineplex and Xbox player, for all to see.
Yet, students' sober eyes register economic and political realities that all but ensure King Gasoline won't be unseated any time soon.
"We're not really used to change. It'll be a while until we realize it's a better fuel," Dianne Walter, 15, said about hydrogen. "We're just so stuck on the gas."
Austin Tilley, also 15, agreed. "It's because of politics. My family talks a lot about it."
And, yet: Dianne's father gathers used grease to run biofuel through the family's three cars, including a Ford Excursion SUV and F-250 pickup, she said.
And, yet: It was Tilley who hooked a plastic peanut butter jar to another plastic bottle to craft his own hydrogen fuel cell at home. He adds some salt to supply an important electrolyte boost to the process.
"I pretty much brought this (topic) up" in class, Tilley said. His father was a chemical scientist, he explained. He's enjoyed the class under the silver-haired Murray, a fixture at Skyview since it opened 14 years ago. "It's just clicking for me," he said.
For most of the students, a driver's license is fast coming; for some, a first vehicle.
Few predicted their first car would be anything but gasoline-powered. Perhaps five years more, and hybrid models will be the norm, some suggested.
Tilley's reply was no different. Yet, he's eager to give history a nudge. Bound for Advanced Placement Chemistry, he's already scheming his senior project, building a golf cart with solar power and a fuel cell.
Maybe he'll be the one, out of the couple dozen students in Murray's class.
The catalyst.
On Tuesday, Murray pulled out small, hydrogen-cell plastic cars for a table-top demonstration. That followed some solar cell display, and came before he fired up a vacuum tube for some "Weird Science" starring hapless marshmallows and a balloon.
It's part of a culminating, hands-on portion of the year. The teacher made use of extra-long lab sessions all this week while upper-grade students tackle Washington state's new, end-of-course math exams. Students still get a kick when he ignites sulfate, producing a yellow, then deep-red glow, he said.
"It's fun. He's been talking about it for while," one student said. Most of the class has been "all book learning," he said.
In the rear of Murray's room are small plastic models, looking a little tired, now. There's a Gemini capsule, an Apollo assembly, a scale-sized Challenger shuttle.
Murray used to take students outdoors to conduct some high-flying experiments. But rules no longer allow, he said.
"I wish we could still do rocketry," he said.

Zambia – Production, Finance, and Improved Technology Plus (PROFIT+)
The USAID-funded Production, Finance, and Improved Technology Plus (PROFIT+) program is a core activity of President Obama's Feed the Future (FTF) global hunger and food security initiative in Zambia. The program targets market systems solutions to create opportunities for farmers and agribusinesses to increase agricultural productivity and access high-value markets, while facilitating private sector investments in target value chains.
Despite Zambia's recent economic growth, poverty and malnutrition remain rampant, particularly in rural areas. Access to finance and markets, especially for smallholders, is limited, greatly inhibiting growth. PROFIT+'s geographic focus is in Eastern province where the typical smallholder farms less than three hectares of land. The project also works in targeted horticulture value chains in peri-urban Lusaka.
- Improve smallholder productivity
- Increase access to markets and trade
- Boost private sector investment in agriculture
- Improve women's participation in agriculture and trade, access to finance, and environmental compliance
Activities and Approaches
- Closely link efforts and emerging trends in policy and agribusiness sector with innovative efforts on the ground while ensuring women and vulnerable groups also benefit from value chain development
- Support development of the local commodity exchange and partner with international corporations and locally based companies to standardize production output and improve smallholder producers' access to larger markets, while creating 1,000 new jobs in value-added processing
- Design and implement new supply chain models and strategies for delivering new technologies to rural areas, sustainably bridging the "last mile gap"
- In partnership with government and financial sector, assist small-scale processors, farmers associations, and smallholders through provision of technical assistance, enabling them to increase their productivity through the application of new technologies
Anticipated and Achieved Results
- Reach 200,000 smallholder farmers
- Facilitate $50 million in private sector investment
- Facilitate $120 million in increased trade
- Improve smallholder productivity by 30 percent
Funder: USAID
Budget: $24,000,000

Kentucky State Police Post 5 has recently increased its ranks by adding eight newly appointed troopers, including three who will be patrolling Carroll County.
The troopers have all been assigned to the Campbellsburg post after completing the grueling 23-week training academy conducted at KSP headquarters in Frankfort.
Trooper Adam Garrett, a Lawrenceburg native, is a 2007 graduate of the University of the Cumberlands. Hisprimary assignment will be patrolling Carroll and Trimble counties upon completion of his field training.
After being unceremoniously bounced from the 31st District tournament by Gallatin County, the Carroll County High School girls' basketball team is ready to get back on track.
Leading the way is senior Hannah Devine, who averaged 25.3 points per game last season, good enough for third-best in the state. She also connected on 80 3-point baskets, second highest in the state, and was named to the All-District, All-A and All-Conference teams.
Smothering defense led to offensive opportunities for the Carroll County Middle School seventh and eighth grade girls' basketball teams. Both teams defeated their Henry County counterparts at home on Tuesday, Nov. 15.
The seventh graders forced numerous turnovers with their defensive pressure, even after calling off the full-court press in the second half, and won 33-7.
Tied 5-5 after the first quarter, the eighth graders jump-started their offense and kept the Lady Wildcats at bay, winning 31-24.
The Carroll County High School boys basketball team will be hosting a men's Panther Alumni Basketball Game on Saturday, Nov. 26 at 7 p.m. There has been a great response from former players.
As we take time out of our schedule this week to enjoy the kick-off to the holiday season, I want to wish each of you a Happy Thanksgiving.
We are now just one decade away from the 400th anniversary of that famous feast enjoyed by the Pilgrims and the Native Americans who helped them weather especially tough times.
Though that harvest meal is the foundation for the holiday, it didn't settle into its familiar place on the calendar until nearly 150 years ago, when President Lincoln declared it should be held on the last Thursday of November.
There's a lot of focus on this Friday — it's the day big retailers mark some special buys and draw big crowds in the pre-dawn hours.
Yes, I've joined some of the people out there in years past, battling for those Black Friday Specials. This year, like more recent years, however, I will be relaxing at home on this day instead of fighting the crowds and interrupting what I hope is a good night's sleep after stuffing myself on Thursday with my wife's excellent Thanksgiving fixin's.

In response to dezaruchi's comment:
In response to shuperman's comment:
Rask has no cup, no conn and that pretty much ends the argument for me. Rask has done exactly what loungo has done. Lose in the finals. A 4 gm sweep had just as much to do about the team as it did rask. I dont think he stole a game in that series. Pitt was outmatched. Rask also had the advantage of playing on a team with experience and knowing what it takes to win. In the finals rask was good, not great. I dont blame rask at all. But until he puts a cup over his head he isnt above tt. You can stat all you want. TT is a stanley cup champion, a vezina winner and playoff mvp. i thought crawford was the better goalie.
Blah blah blah. Rask did better stopping pucks than TT did yet he was handicapped by his team's lack of scoring. Pick whoever you'd like but the numbers don't lie. Rask would've been the runaway winner of the Conn Smythe if his team could've scored for him. Let's keep putting TT and his 29 career playoff wins on a pedestal though. It only took him 9 years to get there after all. Which Finals games was he the difference by the way? Was it the 8-1 win or the 5-2 win? Perhaps he was the reason they won the other 2 games while only managing to score 4 in each.
if you think the gf stat is the winning pt fine. I will continue to put the guy with the best stanley cup numbers by a goalie ever and a championship parade lead the way. Stats mean crap at the end of the day in terms of saves Or gaa if you dont win. what the heck would quick say of this argument. His team cant score at all.

An awesome book about Alphabet & Food that shows how we see letters in everyday things.
Comment posted.
alexeibex says If I had to choose one book to read in hell for the rest of my life this would be it. This book brought me untold joy and wonder and really inspired me to get up off the couch after the death of my porcupine. His writing and unbelievable artistic talent go far beyond the normal everyday coffee book and he deserves to be recognized as one of the leading authors and illustrators of our generation. I look forward to reading his upcoming book titled Frezco 1,2,3 and literally cannot wait to add it to my growing collection of intellectually stimulating books in my library, which smells of fine, rich mahogany.

Best described as a mafic-ultramafic VMS deposit, the ores are polymetallic Fe-Cu-Co-Ni-Zn sulfides hosted within an iron oxide-quartz rock and tectonic mélange that is everywhere in close proximity to ultramafic rocks. Optical microscopy, EDS, and WDS analyses of minerals in thin sections and epoxy mounts of rocks from drill core were performed to aid in understanding the deposit's formation and defining exploration vectors relevant to similar deposits. Monazite dating has been performed by WDS yielding dates broadly consistent with the Taconian orogeny. The mineralization of the Sykesville District contains textures possibly indicative of seafloor deposition in an environment analogous to an oceanic core complex. These markers may hold promise for identifying the timing, paragenesis, and lithological and mineralogical associations of other Appalachian VMS deposits. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z Authigenesis, biomineralization, and carbon-sulfur cycling in the Ediacaran ocean http://hdl.handle.net/1903/17317 Authigenesis, biomineralization, and carbon-sulfur cycling in the Ediacaran ocean Cui, Huan Fossil record of the Ediacaran Period (635-541 Ma) reveals unprecedented rise of early animal life (metazoan) in Earth history. Coupled with this evolutionary milestone, the Earth's atmosphere and hydrosphere experienced dramatic redox fluctuations. In order to better constrain the redox architecture of the Ediacaran ocean margin, an integrated chemostratigraphic correlation of the Doushantuo Formation in basin scale was conducted (see Chapter 2). The revised redox model suggests that euxinic conditions on the platforms were mainly restricted in lagoonal settings, which helps us to better understand Ediacaran fossil distributions and fluctuated δ13C records in the Ediacaran strata in South China. One of the most distinct features of the Ediacaran chemostratigraphy is the δ13C negative excursion (i.e. Shuram Excursion, or SE) reported globally, which is the largest known C cycle anomaly in Earth history. In order to understand the biogeochemical processes that gave rise to the SE expressed in the upper Doushantuo Formation, systematic petrographic and geochemical investigations were conducted for the outer shelf sections in the Yangtze block (see Chapter 3). Methane-derived authigenic calcite cements and nodules with extreme 13C-depletion were discovered and interpreted as the first empirical evidence of authigenic mineralization associated with the SE. In light of these novel observations, it is proposed that the globally distributed SE may be formed by widespread syndeposition of authigenic carbonates in a sulfate-methane transitional zone positioned at the sediment-water interface in response to a global seawater sulfate increase. Finally, to provide environmental context for the terminal Ediacaran biomineralization of animals, we conducted a high-resolution elemental and isotopic study of the richly fossiliferous Gaojiashan Member (see Chapter 4). Coincident with the first appearance of Cloudina are significant C-S-Ca-Sr cycle anomalies. It is proposed that the onset of calcarious biomineralization of animals may have coincided with an increase in terrestrial weathering fluxes of sulfate, alkalinity, and nutrients to the depositional basin. Enhanced concentration of Ca ion in seawater may have promoted the calcarious biomineralization of the early animals. Integrated chemo-, bio- and litho-stratigraphy of the Doushantuo and Dengying formations presented in this dissertation emphasized intimate co-evolution of Earth-life system during the Ediacaran Period. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z TECTONICS OF ICY SATELLITES DRIVEN BY MELTING AND CRYSTALLIZATION OF WATER BODIES INSIDE THEIR ICE SHELLS http://hdl.handle.net/1903/17099 TECTONICS OF ICY SATELLITES DRIVEN BY MELTING AND CRYSTALLIZATION OF WATER BODIES INSIDE THEIR ICE SHELLS Johnston, Stephanie Ann Enceladus and Europa are icy satellites that currently support bodies of liquid water in the outer solar system Additionally, they show signs of being geologically active. Developing numerical models informed by observations of these icy satellites allows for the development of additional constraints and an improved understanding of the tectonics and evolution of icy satellites. The formation mechanisms for both chaos and ridges on Europa are thought to involve water as albedo changes observed in association with them imply the deposition of salt-rich water near these features. Ridges are the most ubiquitous feature on Europa and are described as central troughs flanked by two raised edifices, range in height from tens to hundreds of meters. Europan ridges can extend hundreds of km continuously along strike but are only about 2 km across. A model of a crystallizing dike–like water intrusion is able to match the overall morphology of ridges, and is consistent the long continuous strike. However, the intrusion of a large volume of water is required to match the most common heights of the ridges. Chaos on Europa is defined as a large area of disrupted ice that contain blocks of pre-existing material separated by a hummocky matrix. A proposed mechanism for the formation of Chaos is that a region of heterogeneous ice within the shell is melted and then recrystallizes. Comparing the model results with the geology of Thera Macula, a region where it has been proposed that Chaos is currently forming, suggests that additional processes may be needed to fully understand the development of Chaos. Water-rich plumes erupt from the south pole of Enceladus, suggesting the presence of a pressurized water reservoir. If a pressurized sea is located beneath the south polar terrain, its geometry and size in the ice shell would contribute to the stress state in the ice shell. The geometry and location of such an ocean, as well as the boundary conditions and thickness of an ice shell have important implications for the faulting and tectonic deformation anticipated at the surface. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z Transport properties and melt distribution of partially molten mantle rocks: insights from micro-computed tomography and virtual rock physics simulations http://hdl.handle.net/1903/17084 Transport properties and melt distribution of partially molten mantle rocks: insights from micro-computed tomography and virtual rock physics simulations Miller, Kevin John Mid-ocean ridges are a fundamental component of plate tectonics on Earth. They are the longest mountain ranges; combined, they stretch over 70,000 km of the Earth's surface. They are significant sources of volcanism, producing more than 20 km3 of new oceanic crust each year. The volcanism observed at the ridge axis is linked to processes that transport and focus melt in the underlying upper mantle. Typically, upper mantle melt distribution is inferred either through inversion of geophysical data, such as electromagnetic signals, or through geodynamic modeling. Both approaches require robust constitutive relationship between on electrical conductivity, permeability, and porosity. Unfortunately, direct measurements of transport properties of partially molten rock are technically challenging due to the extreme conditions required for melting. This work aims to quantify permeability-porosity and electrical conductivity-porosity relationships of partially molten monomineralic and polymineralic aggregates by simulating fluid flow and direct current within experimentally obtained, high-resolution, three-dimensional (3-D) microstructures of partially molten rocks. In this study, I synthesized rocks containing various proportions of olivine, orthopyroxene (opx), and basaltic melt, common components of the upper mantle. I imaged their 3-D microstructure using high-resolution, synchrotron-based X-ray micro-computed tomography. The resulting 3-D geometries constitute virtual rock samples on which pore morphology, permeability, and electrical conductivity were numerically quantified. This work yields microstructure-based electrical conductivity-porosity and permeability-porosity power laws for olivine-melt and olivine-opx-melt aggregates containing melt fractions of 0.02 to 0.20. By directly comparing the velocity and electrical fields, which are outputs of the fluid flow and direct current simulations, respectively, this study provides strong evidence that fluid and electricity travel through distinctly different pathways within the same rock, due to the stronger dependence of fluid flux on hydraulic radius. This study also provides the first quantitative evidence of lithological melt partitioning, where melt fractions spatially associated with olivine are systematically higher than those with orthopyroxene due to the relatively low surface energy density of olivine-melt interfaces with respect to opx-melt interfaces. The results of this study place important, novel constraints on 3-D melt distribution and transport properties of the partially molten mantle regions beneath mid-ocean ridges. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z

Wireless proximity presence notification refers to wireless alerts sent to the wireless devices of other individuals, friends or contacts that are within proximity, relative to the wireless network communication towers. A wireless device is an electronic communication device that enables two or more individuals to communicate using voice or data. Examples of wireless devices include pagers, cellular phones, cellular smart-phones, wireless handheld organizers, and wirelessly enabled notebook computers.
Although many wireless devices enable remote, ubiquitous communication across large boundaries, there is also value associated with face-to-face communication, especially among contacts that keep in touch using wireless devices. Users of wireless device often travel without knowing that another user, such as a friend or business contact is nearby. If they are made aware of their proximity, both users may be able to get together for a meeting to conduct business or as a social gathering.
Known wireless communication devices do not provide a method for presence notification based on proximity; this invention seeks to accomplish this shortcoming.
The details of a disclosed herein may enable the development of a system and method of wireless proximity awareness in a communication device. It is an object of the present application that a system and method of wireless proximity awareness be defined.
The present application, a system for proximity awareness for mobile data communication on an electronic communication device comprising of a client application on an electronic communication device communicating across a wireless network, and an awareness server consisting of a plurality of server objects that monitors multiple devices on a wireless communication network. In addition, the client application on the electronic communication device comprises of a plurality of software objects.
Other aspects and features of the present application will become apparent to those ordinarily skilled in the art upon review of the following description of specific embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying figures.
Embodiments of the present application will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the attached figures, wherein:
Like reference numerals are used throughout the figures to denote similar elements and features.
The present invention relates to a system and method of wireless proximity awareness for wireless devices. This system permits users to be alerted of other wireless device users that are in proximity of the user's location. When two users on a pre-defined list of contacts (or Buddy-list) are near each other, an alert is sent from the proximity awareness server to both users. Both users can then use email, instant message or voice communication to communicate and set up a face-to-face meeting, for example. Benefits of proximity awareness include increased productivity during downtime, increased business development opportunity, and increased personal satisfaction being able to meet contacts.
The system of interest comprises a client application on a wireless device communicating with an awareness server located securely behind an organization's unsolicited network traffic controller. The unsolicited network traffic controller comprises of a firewall or a secure virtual private network (VPN) connection.
The proximity awareness server interacts with devices that communicate either on the same wireless network or on different, even non-compatible, wireless networks. The awareness server connects multiple users on multiple networks to enable seamless communication and notification. The awareness server is hosted either at a wireless carrier, a wireless application service provider or securely behind the firewall of the individuals' enterprise. Regardless of the location of where the awareness server is hosted, the awareness server is capable of communicating with users from multiple networks and/or different corporations.
Referring to the drawings,
The communication path between each wireless device and the awareness server 150 includes the air link from wireless device 110, 112 to the wireless network tower 120, across the Internet 130 to the awareness server 130 located securely behind an organization's firewall 140. The return path of communication will be the same route, but in the opposite direction.
The wireless device 110, 112 constantly listens to the wireless network tower 120 that it is connected to, as well as neighbouring towers in its proximity, and stores the device identifier and tower identifier in memory. The client application on each wireless device contains software objects that handle the processing of incoming data, monitoring the list of network towers, sending out updates to the awareness server 150 and triggering alerts once a proximity and contact match is found.
The client application enables wireless devices on the same wireless network, as well as, devices from other wireless networks to communicate. The ability to communicate on different networks is accomplished through an awareness server interface. The awareness server 150 has the ability to connect users from either the same or multiple networks together to communicate.
The awareness server 150 monitors a list of wireless devices and sends out proximity alerts. This server is hosted either by a wireless network carrier, by a wireless application service provider, or securely behind a company's firewall 140, as shown in
Where mobile electronic device 200 is enabled for two-way communication, it will incorporate a communication antenna subsystem 211, including both a receiver 212 and a transmitter 214, as well as associated components such as one or more, preferably embedded or internal, antenna elements 216 and 218, local oscillators (LOs) 213, and a processing module such as a digital signal processor (DSP) 220. As will be apparent to those skilled in the field of communications, the particular design of the communication subsystem 211 will be dependent upon the communication network in which the device is intended to operate.
Mobile electronic device 200 includes a microprocessor 238 that controls the overall operation of the device. Communication functions, including at least data and voice communications, are performed through communication subsystem 211. Microprocessor 238 also interacts with further device subsystems such as the display 222, flash memory 224, random access memory (RAM) 226, auxiliary input/output (I/O) subsystems 228, serial port 230, keyboard 232, speaker 234, microphone 236, a short-range communications subsystem 240 and any other device subsystems generally designated as 242.
The other device subsystems 242 of interest include software objects of the client application responsible for handling proximity awareness and notification on the wireless device. These software objects will be further elaborated in the proceeding figures.
Mobile electronic device 200 also includes other components such as programs 258, device states 250, an address book 252, a PIM application 254, other applications 256, configuration information 251, and other information 253 relevant to the operation of the device. The aforementioned components in this paragraph, although available on the device and outlined in
In the system of
Once the location information (Tower IDs and Device IDs) is received at the awareness server 150, the information is inputted into an application where a listener object monitors the ID lists at step 320. The awareness server 150 contains three global ID lists of interest—a Device ID list, a Tower ID list and a User Buddy list. The Device ID list contains information on all devices registered on the system, including the Device IDs, the unique identifiers of each device. The Tower ID list is a list of all network towers that the awareness server can listen to. This Tower list contains network towers from different network carriers, associated with each wireless device. The User Buddy list contains a list of user profile of all users and a their contacts or buddies.
There is logic in the awareness server 150 that performs a comparison; if a match of two devices on the same contact list and on the same network tower is detected at step 330, an awareness notification is sent to both users at step 340 to indicate that they are in proximity to each other. It is up to the users at this point to decide whether they would like to communicate or physically meet considering their physical proximity. If the logic on the awareness server 150 does not detect a match, the server will continue to monitor the ID lists at step 320.
Location information (Tower ID and Device ID) is sent to the awareness server 150 at a predetermined time interval if the wireless device is locked onto one tower. If the device is not locked onto a tower, location information is sent immediately to the awareness server 150. An example of this includes the scenario where a wireless device switches to another tower.
In addition to broadcasting the Tower ID that the wireless device is currently connected to, the wireless device also sends a list of all neighbouring Tower IDs. This Tower ID list includes network towers from the device's own network carrier, as well as other neighbouring carriers using the same network technology (e.g., CDMA, GSM, etc). For example, a device broadcasts location information to the awareness server. It sends its Device ID, Tower ID AA from GSM network carrier X that it is currently communicating on, and neighbouring Tower IDs AB, AC and AD that are in proximity. Tower ID AB is on the same network carrier X, but Tower IDs AC and AD are on GSM network carrier Y. This device connects only to network towers AB and AC from its own carrier; it can hear network towers AC and AD from a neighbouring network, but the device cannot connect to these towers.
One reason for reporting neighbouring Tower IDs (network towers) is to assist in monitoring of the Buddy list. The monitoring object 320 includes intelligent logic to resolve contacts that are in proximity on different network towers of the same network or on different networks. For example, if there are two contacts in San Francisco, one on a GPRS network and the other on a CDMA network and both users have the client application on their devices, the awareness server 150 will resolve a proximity match and send an awareness notification to both devices.
The wireless proximity logic does not require additional hardware such as Global Positioning System (GPS) peripheral to report location updates. The mapping of wireless proximity is conducted using a comparison of the list of wireless network towers. The awareness server 150 monitors a Buddy list, a Device list and a Tower list. If there is a match between buddies (contacts) on a user's Buddy list, with a specific device and tower, the awareness server will send out a notification to alert both contacts of their proximity.
A matching algorithm 440 performs a comparison of devices and network towers. If there is a match between multiple devices on the same network tower, the alerter object 450 is triggered to send out an awareness notification 340 to the wireless device. If there is no match, the matching algorithm will return to the monitor object 430 to continually monitor incoming requests from the Server Listener object 410. User preference is taken into consideration when alerts are sent out. For example, an awareness notification 340 is not sent out to individuals on the Buddy-list that are deemed blocked, or in an ignore or "Do Not Disturb" mode, even if there is a proximity match.
In certain embodiments of the awareness server 150, the matching algorithm 440 may include a time-based logic, capable of performing a fuzzy logic match, based on a configurable level of granularity. The fuzzy logic match is used to determine proximity of contacts in a Buddy list. For example, a user's contact in his Buddy list is 60 minutes away communicating on Tower A, and the user can hear Tower A. The fuzzy logic of the matching algorithm 440 generates a "proximity hit" of within an hour for that buddy and reports this detail to the user.
Once data is received on the receiver 510, it is sent to the client listener object 520 for processing. Based on the type of data received, the client listener object 520 will trigger the alerter object 530 to generate an audible or visual alert if the incoming data is an awareness notification 340 or pass the data onto the Updater object 550 if the incoming data is a Tower ID. The Updater object 550 will package the Tower ID info and combine it with the Device ID, the device unique identifier, and submit this info to the Transmitter object 560. The Transmitter object controls the RF Transmitter hardware on the device to send the update data back to the Awareness Server 150 as a status update. In addition to receiving information from the client listener object 520, the updater object 550 receives periodic requests to update the device status from the timer object 560.
This design has a number of strengths which include the following:
The client application and awareness server 150 may include additional features. One feature is to incorporate filters to determine user preference. Filters may be used to turn on/off notification, to accept/block users asking for presence tracking, and to place the user in different modes such as "Do Not Disturb", "Available", "In a Meeting" and "Offline" mode.
An additional feature may be to extend the awareness server to incorporate connectivity with instant messaging systems, for example, ICQ, AIM, MSN, Yahoo, and enable proximity awareness with contacts in these systems. A further feature may be to incorporate the functionality of the components of the awareness server 150 into the client application, thereby allowing communication between multiple users without the requirement of a server component.
The above-described embodiments of the present application are intended to be examples only. Those of skill in the art may effect alterations, modifications and variations to the particular embodiments without departing from the scope of the application.

I've searched but found conflicting information. I think this may be a result of specifications changing over time. I've also read this: Square Taper Bottom Bracket Interchangeability.
My question is as follows:
I purchased the EighthInch Courier Crankset (EighthInch Fixed Gear/Single Speed Cranks |EighthInch Courier).
The product specifications state the following:
Crank: Chainring BCD 144 BCD
Crank: Recommended Spindle Length 110 mm
Crank: Spindle Interface Type Square Taper JIS
But the box states, "110mm ISO bottom bracket recommended."
I also purchased the EighthInch Square-Taper Bottom Bracket (EighthInch Bottom Brackets | EighthInch Square-Taper Bottom Bracket). I chose a spindle length of 110mm. The website states, "The 110mm works well with our EighthInch Courier crank."
The box states the following:
- 68mm shell width
- ISO/english threading (1.37" x 24tpi)
- JIS square taper spindle
- crank bolts included
Are these two truly compatible? Will 110mm give me the straightest chainline? Should I simply contact EighthInch?
Thank you.

That's a nice looking blog!
I've been thinking about blogging but then I read someone else's, like yours, and think everyone else is so much better at it than I would be
Also, how do you start one? Do you need a website? Not something I know very much about, just had a look around now and there's this kind of thing http://website.1and1.com/ and also there's blogger and wordpress? not really sure of the difference.
But great blog, keep it up!
Thanks ChloeP
I have not kept it up....I started it then I stopped posting because work and life became crazy. I use Blogger. It is simple and easy to use.

customer quotes
"The typhoon left thousands of people here in the Philippines stuck in temporary shelter without access to light. We distributed hundreds of Sunlight lanterns to provide people with an essential source of light and try to help get them back on the road to normalcy once again."
~Willi Hahn, Hahn Distribution
"We in the Boy Scout Troop 225 also use the lanterns on backpacking and camping trips. The illumination from the lanterns is more than sufficient to light up a cooking area and stove as we cook our evening meals, and for clean-up and even reading afterwards!"
~Steve Rhods, Scout Master
