Will Increase in Debt Ceiling End Decline in Gold Market?
Przemyslaw Radomski, CFA
Based on today's price action, it seems that a bigger move lower is already underway for the yellow metal.
Since the US shutdown began, gold has been trading in a tight range between $1,277 and $1,330 per ounce. Although investors have believed that worries over the debt ceiling would be only short-lived, it seems that each day that passed without an agreement tested their nerves.
On Thursday, President Barack Obama agreed to consider a proposal from Republican lawmakers to avert a historic debt default. US House of Representatives Republicans plan to offer Obama a short-term increase in the federal debt limit if he agrees to negotiate with Republicans on certain matters, including funding to reopen the government.
These circumstances present a potential breakthrough in the standoff that has led to a 10-day partial US government shutdown. From today's point of view, it seems that -- thanks to this development -- the yellow metal lost an important support. Please note that gold is considered to be a hedge against political and economic uncertainty by some investors who purchase the metal when such fears run high (and who then reduce their holdings in favor of riskier assets like equities when these concerns fade). Therefore, yesterday, gold fell and touched a one-and-a-half-week low of $1,282 as investors cut back holdings of the haven asset. This is gold's lowest price since the first day of the partial government shutdown. Earlier today, we saw a small pullback to $1,294, however, gold is still heading for a weekly decline. Please note that if the yellow metal closes today below $1,282, it will be its sixth decline in seven weeks, which will extend the year's losses to 23%.
In our
previous essay on the price of gold in October 2013,
my firm wrote about the debt ceiling issue. Taking into account the fact that debt ceiling talks are becoming increasingly popular in the media, we have decided to highlight this topic today.
In short, in our view, it's highly likely that the debt ceiling will be increased and that the talks about it are really smoke and mirrors, aimed at convincing voters that the deal wasn't coined already a long time ago. In our view, the debt ceiling will be increased because other options are too costly and much harder to put into place politically.
Will an increase in the debt ceiling end the decline in the gold market? Not likely; gold has already declined since the possible increase was mentioned. Besides, we already researched this topic over two years ago.
What we wrote back then remains up to date:
As you might see, gold has roughly followed the rises in the US debt level since 2000. On the other hand, you will also surely notice that there were periods in gold's history when the metal traded without visible correlation with the aforementioned debt. In short, the above chart confirms that growing uncertainty linked to the growing debt pile might fuel the price of gold, however it also confirms that markets cannot follow a given economic indicator with reasonable precision at all times and confirms what we've emphasized many times -- that fundamental factors can only point you the general direction in which a market is going, but they do not provide timing details.
Although the link between gold and the debt ceiling might seem like a strong and positive one, it doesn't really work on a short-term and medium-term basis.
Having discussed the debt ceiling issue and its link to gold, let's now move on to the more recent charts to find out what the current situation in the yellow metal is.
Let's start with a look at the long-term chart (charts courtesy of
Click to enlarge
This week's price moves were quite visible on a short-term basis. But from the long-term point of view, they didn't change anything since they didn't take gold below the nearest significant support level, which is currently close to $1,285. Gold closed very close to this level, though.
At this time, we might still see an additional upswing. It will not invalidate the bearish outlook as long as it doesn't break above the rising resistance line, which is currently more than $100 above the yesterday's closing price (and a rally this big seems unlikely). On the other hand, we could see a breakdown below the aforementioned support level (gold closed very close to it) and a decline to $1,100 target level.
From the long-term perspective, the outlook is bearish. The biggest question that we have concerning gold is not if it declines, because that seems quite likely, but when it will happen.
Let's look for some answers on the medium-term chart.
Click to enlarge
On the above gold chart, we can see that the head-and-shoulders pattern was completed once again. The breakdown below the neck level hasn't been verified just yet, and since the previous breakdown was invalidated on the very next day, we think that the outlook has deteriorated insignificantly. However, based on today's price action, it seems that a bigger move lower is already underway.
The interesting thing about the gold market at this time is that the short-term support and resistance levels are very close to each other. Therefore, there are only several days that gold can trade without a confirmed breakout above the red declining resistance line or a confirmed breakdown below the neck level of the head-and-shoulders formation. It will have to move above or below one of them and then verify this move. When we see a confirmed breakout or breakdown, it will likely determinate the next short-term move in the gold market. In our opinion, the scenario in which gold declines is more probable, as it is in tune with the medium-term trend. Plus, gold is already below the neck level.
The "problem" with the confirmation of a breakdown and waiting for it (especially given the ways that gold used to plunge earlier this year) is that once gold starts to move lower, it could drop very fast and, as the head-and-shoulders pattern suggests, very far. The head of the pattern is big -- bigger than $100, and that's the type of move that we can see after the formation is completed. It was completed yesterday (without a verification, though), so such a move is now more likely than not.
Summing up
, the medium-term outlook for gold remains bearish, and the downward trend is not threatened at the moment. Moreover, gold looks like it's about to verify the breakdown below the head-and-shoulders pattern.

Maybe Mother Nature got fed up with Wisteria Lane and decided to clean house? Though the original five wives made it through the Season 4 tornado relatively unscathed, Ida, Sylvia, and Victor (not to mention Carlos' eyesight) weren't so lucky.
Which part of this Season 3 episode is funnier: Elyse's high note as she begins to go into labor while singing on Steven's PBS telethon or Skippy's knit hat as Steven fights the blizzard to get to his wife's side? Discuss.
Was Pine Valley a magnet for tornadoes or what? First, in 1994, a twister gave pretty Julia a pretty bad facial scar and knocked Tad down so hard he had visions of Jenny and Jesse. Then in 2008, a series of cyclones ripped through town and left Kendall in a coma, Babe circling the drain, Erica trapped in a tunnel with Adam and Zach delivering his lesbian sister-in-law's child – who was biologically his.
In the Season 6 ep, a drenched Scully helps a woman give birth as a water monster looms overhead and Mulder slowly near-dies out on in the hallway -- y'know, just another day for the FBI's Most Unwanted.
There's so much good Riggins-as-Taylor-roommate stuff in this Season 2 episode, we don't even mind the tornado contrivance. (Tim playing with the baby? We die.)
The phones are down, the pantry's near empty and the road's washed out, which can only mean one thing: It's murder-mystery game time! This classic Season 7 episode finds Angela, Maggie, Richard, Melissa, Dan and a bunch of others stuck in the house with an actual assassin. (Cue dramatic lightning strike… now!)
Brooke basically dies after some post-car-crash heroics, and that's not even the most dramatic thing that happens in this rain-soaked Season 8 episode. (Katie and Quinn, anyone?)
Booth, Brennan and some authentic stadium seats get stuck in an elevator. Sounds like the set-up for a squintastic joke, but the conversations the pair are forced to have in this Season 6 ep (including when she says she suspects they're sexually compatible) foreshadow the changes ahead in their relationship.
If only JR hadn't literally left his calling card after sleeping with another man's wife, Southfork might've been spared two strangers looking for justice as a hurricane ravaged Texas in Season 1. (And Miss Texas Sue Ellen might've been spared having to re-enact her turn in the swimsuit competition.)
Even with Jen, Grams, Joey, Bessie and Bodie crammed into the Leery household for Season 1's Hurricane Chris, there's still room for the awkward! when Dawson's mom's affair comes to light.

College Hockey:Five Sophomores Featured on All-CCHA First Team
FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. — Two-time first-team honoree Jeff Jillson, a junior defenseman from Michigan, is the oldest player on a CCHA's First-Team all-Conference squad that includes five sophomores.
Jillson is making his second consecutive appearance on the First Team. Michigan State sophomore goaltender Ryan Miller and Western Michigan forward David Gove, second-team selections last year, are the only other repeat performers on either team.
Sophomore forward David Brisson and sophomore defenseman Greg Zanon are the first players ever selected all-Conference from Nebraska-Omaha. They are the fastest players on an expansion team to be selected first-team all-CCHA since Ted Speers earned all-league honors for Michigan in 1982-83, one year after the Wolverines joined the CCHA.
Michigan teammates, sophomore forwards Mike Cammalleri and Andy Hilbert, round out the first-team's forward line, both earning their first all-CCHA honors. It is the fourth time in the last eight years a pair of Wolverine frontliners have been first-team forward selections.
Michigan State goaltender Ryan Miller's First-Team all-Conference Selection continues a streak of four straight years that a Spartan goaltender has been named either First- or Second-Team all-CCHA. Miller, who was a Second Team honoree last season, follows in the footsteps of Chad Alban (First — 1997-98) and Joe Blackburn (Second — 1998-99).
Second Team selections Mike Bisahi and David Gove, a junior and senior, respectively, from Western Michigan, mark the first time since 1995-96 (Marc Magliarditi — First Team and Jeremy Brown — Second Team) that two Broncos have earned all-Conference honors in the same year. They are joined up front by Miami University's Jason Deskins. Deskins, who missed all of last season with a knee injury, earned honorable mention all-CCHA in 1998-99.
On defense for the Second Team are junior Andrew Hutchinson and sophomore John-Michael Liles from Michigan State. They complete the Spartans' sweep of the position, becoming the first defensive tandem to do it on either team since MSU's Gary Haight and Don McSween both collected First-Team accolades in 1984-85.
The teams were selected by a vote of the league's head coaches and are based on performances in league games. Coaches were not allowed to vote for their own players.

I was wondering if you have any tips on avoiding environmental toxins during pregnancy?
Michellina, Charlotte NC
Hi Michellina,
For an expectant mother, the health and wellness of her unborn baby is her primary concern. A woman's body is amazingly adept at creating a strong barrier between the developing fetus and many of the dangerous toxins that she is exposed to in her surrounding environment. Unfortunately, there are a number of environmental toxins that can have a negative effect on the health of an unborn child. Mom-to-be can help to prevent these toxins from reaching her baby by reducing her own exposure.
First things first...you have to learn which toxins present the greatest danger during pregnancy. Pesticides, paint fumes, aerosol products, cleaning sprays...these are all toxins that can potentially cross the placenta and harm your developing baby.
Go on a toxin hunt throughout your home. Look in the garage, basement, closets and laundry rooms for hidden sources of toxins. Get rid of any products with labels that read "toxic," and any products that contain flame retardants. These are all potential dangers to an unborn child. Try to rid your home of these chemicals even before you get pregnant if you are actively trying to conceive. If you are already pregnant, don't handle the products yourself, instead, have a friend or partner dispose of them for you. Leave the windows open so that the chemical residue can air out.
Be on the lookout for harmful fumes, strong odors and dangerous ingredients that are found in paint, laundry detergent, fabric softeners and cleaning products.
Stay far away from any chemical pesticides. If you are accidentally exposed to them, immediately wash the area with soap and water to remove any chemical residue.
Refrain from using any pesticides in your yard or home throughout your pregnancy. Any time insecticides and pesticides are used, there is a danger that some of the chemicals may become airborne. Once in the air, they can be inhaled by pregnant women. When out in public, be on the lookout for signs that say pesticides were recently used.
Pregnant women should not be involved in the painting process when decorating the nursery. The chemicals found in paints and paint thinners are extremely noxious. VOC-free paints are a safe alternative to traditional, toxic paints.
Never use powerful cleaning agents during pregnancy. Cleaners such as bleach or ammonia, or those that emit powerful odors, such as scrubbing powders and bathroom cleansers, should be avoided. Replacing toxic cleaners with all-natural cleaning products reduces your exposure to harmful toxins, and is an excellent step in preparing to raise children in your home.
Contact your city's water purification headquarters. Tap water sometimes contains high levels of lead, which can have a negative effect on a growing fetus. Many pregnant women opt for purified water or bottled water during their pregnancy. Your baby can be exposed to toxic levels of lead if you eat your food off a lead-lined dish. Eat only from plates that contain no lead.
A good rule of thumb is listen to your nose during pregnancy. A pregnant woman's sense of smell is often heightened during pregnancy. If something irritates your nose or just smells off, chances are it is nature's way of telling you to stay away.

By 1900, Riverside had become one of the premiere winter resort communities in the nation. Engulfed in twenty thousand acres of Washington Navel orange groves, Riverside served as a center for agricultural innovation, bringing the revolution of corporate capitalism to the southwestern U.S. via the modern citrus enterprise.
Located in the broad, inland valley of the Santa Ana River in Southern California, Riverside numbered among the wealthiest communities per capita in the nation. The University of California Citrus Experiment Station (core of the present University of California, Riverside) brought a tradition of ground-breaking scientific research to the city. Riverside's renowned Mission Inn hotel, and its inspirational role in the development of the Arts & Craft Style, attracted some of America's foremost entrepreneurs in search of new recreational, aesthetic and business opportunities. Riverside became a magnet for prosperous, educated practitioners of the Arts and Crafts Movement in the West. in the nation.
Out of this context came the Cornelius Earle Rumsey Indian Collection which later became the Riverside Municipal Museum now known as the Riverside Metropolitan Museum (RMM). The Museum opened in the basement of City Hall on December 12, 1924, when the widow of National Biscuit Company (NABISCO) magnate Cornelius Earle Rumsey donated his collection of Native American artifacts to the City of Riverside. An ordinance, amending the City Charter and establishing a Municipal Museum, was adopted by the City Council on August 27, 1925. The current mission statement found in the city ordinance states that, "All collections and exhibits of the Museum shall generally reflect but shall not necessarily be limited to the specific interpretations of the history, natural history and anthropology of the City and County of Riverside and the immediate environs of southern California." From 1924 on, the collections have grown, typically through donations by prominent citizens and organizations, contributing to RMM holdings in the disciplines of local history, natural history, and anthropology. From 1925-48, the RMM was located in the basement of the old City Hall building on Riverside's Seventh Street (now Mission Inn Avenue).
In 1987, the main museum building and Heritage House were placed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 2005, the Riverside Municipal Museum changed its name to Riverside Metropolitan Museum.
In 1948, the Museum was moved to the basement of the former U. S. Post Office, adjacent to the old City Hall, a Renaissance Revival-style structure, built in 1912-14. The main exhibits, administration offices, anthropology, natural history curatorial offices, collections storage, and registrar's office carried on their activities in this building. The history curatorial office/collections and exhibits services eventually moved to an annex, a converted Safeway Supermarket, located four blocks from the main building.
During the early 60s and 70s, the RMM broke out of its traditional role as being simply a depository of donations from City notables. New exhibits and community-oriented programs, made possible by substantial involvement of the Junior League of Riverside, brought about expansion of the Museum to all floors of the old Post Office, which was remodeled into its current configuration between 1962 and 1965. Museum staff expanded from three to twenty-eight paid positions. World famous naturalist, and Riverside resident, Edmund C. Jaeger, served as Curator of Plants, and his presence inspired the Junior League to fund creation of the Nature Study Lab facility in his name. Accreditation by the American Association of Museums (AAM) came in 1972, with the visiting committee's report citing the RMM as a model institution of its type.
A product of the Junior League's involvement in museum programs, the Riverside Museum Associates (RMA) was officially incorporated as a private supporting group for the Museum in 1963 (a 501(c)(3)-status membership organization and a California non-profit corporation). The RMA came to form the basis for continuing community support for the RMM, providing volunteer services as well as financial assistance. In 1969, the RMA and the Junior League helped expand RMM programs through the purchase of an 1891 Queen Anne-style home, today known as "Heritage House" (located on Magnolia Avenue, six miles from the museum). It was eventually fully restored for use in local history interpretation as a house museum, and title to the property was transferred from the RMA to the City.

FRESNO, Calif. - Fresno State went through its 11th of 15 spring practices on Friday morning, putting a heavy emphasis on stressing its team to make the right decisions and reads under pressure during the team periods.
After Wednesday's scrimmage, one in which the offense had its best day of the spring, the coaching staff is now looking to put the team through all variations of game scenarios for the remainder of camp with the overall goal of getting better every day heading into the summer.
"I think we are getting better on both sides of the ball, but there is still a lot of work to be done," head coach Tim DeRuyter said Friday. "The defense needs to run the patterns against protections and understand how they fit and the offense needs to see those at a good speed."
After the live scrimmage two days ago, the Bulldogs came out on Friday and did not tackle to the ground. Instead the emphasis was more mental, making the right reads and being in the right spot.
"When you have days like today when you are not tackling, those are good periods to have," DeRuyter said. "I thought it was good work, but it will be good to watch that on film and get guys to understand what we are trying to do."
Here is a rundown of how the three team periods went on Friday...
This was the first team period, where the first-team offense went up against the first-team defense and the twos up against one another. Each unit got six chances to convert third downs from long distances - between five and 10 yards.
Quarterback Zack Greenlee went with the first-team offense here, converting just 1-of-6 third downs. Outside linebacker Ejiro Ederaine interrupted the first two tries, getting a tackle for a loss on the first play against running back Marteze Waller and then a quarterback hurry on Greenlee, forcing a wide throw to Greg Watson on the sideline.
After a dropped pass and a sack from linebacker Brandon Hughes, Greenlee hit Justin Johnson on a five-yard pass and Johnson did the rest, breaking a tackle to pick up the lone first down for the first-team offense.
Myles Carr went with the twos at quarterback on offense and was able to use his feet to help the unit convert 4-of-6 first downs.
They missed the first one on a completion for no gain, but on the second try Carr scrambled out of the pocket away from the rush and hit Devonn Brown for a first down. The third play was a completion to tight end Riley Barnes, but linebacker T.J. Thomas downed him short of a first.
Carr and the 'O' then picked up the next three third-down tries, starting with his scramble out of the pocket, again away from the blitzing defense to run for the first down. Carr followed by hitting Johnson across the middle for a first before the blitzing safety Charles Washington could get to him for the sack. The final play was the best - a screen pass to Darryl Cash that worked to perfection thanks to a key block from guard Elijah Cox on Ederaine.
Red Zone
Here again, the top two units went up against each other for seven scripted plays apiece with no down or distance, but starting from the 25-yard line and moving in towards the goal line.
With the first units, quarterback Brian Burrell connected on TD passes to Johnson (17 yards) and Darrell Fuery (12 yards).
Defensively, Derron Smith had a tackle for a loss and fellow safety Charles Washington had tight coverage on Greg Watson to for an incompletion on the first play of the period.
For the second team, the offensive was led by Greenlee and Cash. Greenlee completed all four of his passes, which included a five-yard TD to Johnson. Cash had three runs for 18 yards, including a 10-yard touchdown run.
This was the last team period of the day, where the offense is put in the situation being down by three with 1:15 remaining on the clock. They start on their own 40-yard line and look to get into field goal range or score a touchdown before the clock runs out.
Carr and the first-team offense went up against the first-team defense on the first of two series. Carr connected with Fuery for a 16-yard gain on a third-and-10 to put the offense on the right side of the field. After an incompletion, he then hit Watson on a 9-yard pass to the 35-yard line. On the third-and-one play that followed, Carr looked to hit Dillon Root in the end zone, but overthrew Root and cornerback Jamal Ellis made a diving interception in the end zone to kill the offense's drive.
The second drive in time-and-score was with Burrell running the second-team offense against the second-team defense.
Like Carr, Burrell converted the first third-down the team faced - a five-yard completion to tight end Jerin McClendon when they needed four yards to move the sticks. That put the ball just past midfield.
After two incompletions caused by heavy pressure from the defense, then a dropped pass on third-down, the second-team unit was faced with a fourth-and-10. That's when Burrell was picked off by cornerback Curtis Riley and that's how the practice came to an end.
"I was disappointed in our offense in the two-minute drill, you can't turn the ball over and twice we did that," DeRuyter said. "I was happy for the defense, they made plays, but really the quarterbacks didn't do a good job of understanding the situation, threw it into coverage and you can't do that."

We spoke to guitarist and composer Mekaal Hasan about how he got into music, the Lahore scene, and why he's angry about the term "sufi-rock".
Pakistani guitarist and composer Mekaal Hasan has gained immense critical acclaim for the layered, complex and distinct compositions he creates. Apart from collaborating with various musicians from all over the world, Hasan has also been a part of the Pakistani independent music scene for almost a decade now, nurturing bands, producing artists and creating his own music, in the tumultuous political atmosphere of Pakistan. When the Mekaal Hasan Band decided to come down to Mumbai city (concert gallery), we caught up with the guitarist and spoke to him about his beginnings as a musician, the slowly-rising Lahore music scene and the political situation in Pakistan, among other things.
NH7: How did you get into music composition and production?
Mekaal Hasan: Half my family is Christian and half are Muslim. The Christian side of the family has always been very much into the arts and the Muslim side has always been interested in poetry and writing and journalism, so that kind of filtered down. Our house is very liberal and full of music and art and literature, so when I was growing up, that sort of rubbed off on me. I remember listening to a lot of jazz. My dad had this huge turntable and I remember listening to Miles Davis and Dizzy Gillespie and Stan Getz and a lot of that sort of stuff. That was the sound I grew up with. When I was 13, I think, I discovered Led Zeppelin, and then from Zeppelin I started listening to a lot of prog rock bands. From there on, around when I was 15 or so, I started listening to a lot of jazz-fusion type stuff, like Al Di Meola and John McLaughlin and Steve Morse among others. When I was around 16, I picked up the guitar. I'm actually left-handed, and this was back in 1988 when you couldn't buy any strings or guitars, so I basically started learning by myself and picked up a book with three or four chords and a few cheesy songs, and I taught myself how to play. But it didn't go too far because I realized that I'm playing left-handed on a right-handed guitar. I decided that it'd be better if I played right-handed, so after six months of playing left-handed, I just shifted to my right hand.
Check out the music video for 'Sajan' by the Mekaal Hasan Band.
I found a teacher and he taught me a few basic scales, but he never taught me anything about theory and I was always curious. I wanted to know how all these chords and scales work together because there seemed to be like a billion of them. This curiosity led me into studying harmony and learning about music theory and stuff. At that point, I was very much a rock-based musician. I had no interest in eastern classical music. I had absolutely no interest in traditional music.
I applied to Berklee when I was 20 or 21. I got accepted and went there and took up Jazz Composition as my major. In 1995, I returned to Lahore to set up my studio – Digital Fidelity Studios, where I basically ended up practically applying all the stuff that I'd learnt in the classrooms and all the stuff that I'd learnt about harmony and songwriting and composition. That's also where I taught myself how to engineer and so, I started getting into sound engineering. Because there was no one else to record me, I had to do it myself. After a couple of years, I got sort of decent at it and the bands around the area – there were a lot more bands around; a lot more people were into music then – asked me to start recording for them. That's how the whole scene evolved. That one studio became the breeding ground for new talent. And that still continues to date with guys like Poor Rich Boy and co-VEN. All of these guys have come and worked there and rehearsed and recorded there. That's how the whole Lahore scene evolved in terms of recording. We were the first studio to do full-on live recording. We didn't do any sequence or loop-based recordings. Back in the 1990s, there was a tendency for everything to be programmed and just the vocals would be live, or just the guitar solo would be live, or the guitar parts would be live. Everything else would be synth-based. We never went that route because I myself play, so I want to encourage people to play.
In terms of the Lahore and Pakistani rock scene, there seems to be a huge divide. On one side, there's Jal and Junoon and on the other side, there's Poor Rich Boy, co-VEN and Mekaal Hasan Band. The former seem to be able to play a lot more.
That's because they're corporate-endorsed or are corporate-approved. All the other bands you mentioned aren't. In Pakistan, if a corporation decides to endorse you, what you do is a series of ads with them, some billboards. In return, as part of your deal, they'll take you to different colleges and you play with their branding at the back. Us lot have never done that. We've never gone that route and we haven't been the darlings for that scene. Consequently, our music has always managed to stay free of being clichéd or safe. They can't understand how to market it and they don't know what to do with it either, because it's not exactly pop music. None of these bands are pop bands.
Why did you guys never get into that kind of music?
It's not a matter of wanting it. It's a matter of making the kind of music which appeals to someone who thinks that you're brand-friendly. I've worked with a lot of the artists and bands that became commercially successful, including guys like Atif (Aslam), Junoon, Noori, Jal, Zeb and Haniya, among others. I produced or engineered for all these guys, but since it was their music, we did what was required for their sensibility. But for our own stuff, every song is different. And then there's the image of the band – it's not a young band. It's a mature band and it's meant for mature audiences, or audiences who like listening to this kind of music. Within the corporate world, it's all numbers and target groups so everything is looked at with the perspective – "Can we market this to a 15-year-old and how much mileage will we get out of it?" We could never fit into that. (laughs) That's even though we have a lot of young people coming out to our gigs. Our audience tends to be more like 18 and above, and most of them tend to be people who are really into listening to music or making music. They're not into the whole visual dynamic.
Listen to 'Sampooran' by the Mekaal Hasan Band below.
You have to look good?
Haan. You have the same issue here as well. If someone is in Bollywood, suddenly they're making major money. They're getting endorsements. They're on billboards. The media has just embraced them. And then you have your indie scene where it's like… you have your festival circuit which is supporting the indie scene, and then the club circuit. And then you have the full-on sponsor support of companies who are wanting to reach out to that active live circuit. We don't have the festival and club circuit because the security scene in Pakistan became so bad, especially after Musharaff's era. It became so bad that corporates decided not to risk going into live events and they said, "Let's pump money into programming and TV and web content." Web content took off. Viral videos started taking off. So that's where the attention shifted. As soon as the attention shifted there, the guys who had been corporate-endorsed suddenly found themselves without any gigs whatsoever. Even those spare gigs that you would get because someone would be doing an event or something, dried out. So if it dried out for the more commercially mainstream guys, it totally nosedived for the edgier musicians, including some of the names you mentioned earlier.
You've been involved in the Lahore music scene for a few years now. How would you categorise your involvement?
My objective is always to try and encourage newer bands because, you see, if experienced people like us don't introduce bands to newer audiences, and we don't facilitate their recordings and act as sort of mentors for them, then what happens is that they'll get demoralized and eventually give up. The scene becomes less rich because someone who was senior didn't take enough of an interest in the bands. It's very important for newer people to realize that there is a live circuit and that they have to invest in the live circuit. Otherwise, you're going to have bands who never play live but just make fancy videos. (laughs) And then they're on air and they're superstars. Some of the pop-type bands and artists don't have the playing experience. but they have the media exposure and image thing sorted out. It has to be balanced, I feel, and I think if we don't do that, we're essentially letting down the scene. And then, we can't blame people for not having the scene because we ourselves are not interested in developing it.
A friend of mine who took a very proactive step, Jamal Rahman, runs this facility called True Brew which caters to live performances. He also has a studio – he's a producer as well. Jamal is a younger generation than me. He realized there was a problem with this whole corporate thing; they weren't going to do gigs for Poor Rich Boy, they weren't going to do gigs for co-VEN, they weren't going to do gigs for bands like Takatak. So he started this facility and he has had a very big impact in this Lahore scene in terms of catering to these younger bands.
Check out the Mekaal Hasan-produced single 'Chor' by co-VEN below.
You had announced the third Mekaal Hasan Band album a long time ago. What's the status of that?
Oh! That's happening this year. We had a 2011 target post-Saptak (second album, released in 2010) but what happened was that shows dried up. The only time we get to put money back into records is when we're doing shows. We need resources to do our videos, our social media campaigns, our website, photoshoots, general day- to-day work like hiring people for artwork, directors, video people and you know, inflation is pretty high in Pakistan, so the costs keep escalating and the money you're making kind of stays the same. It's harder and harder to put out good work. So unless that model changes, it's going to be very difficult to put out work quickly. Even though the record has been recorded for three to four years, we didn't have enough things happening for us in terms of shows and concerts that would generate enough of an income to put back into the band.
What are your solo plans?
I'm working on a couple of very interesting things, which I wouldn't put down as solo things since they are not my solo records. They have more to do with folk music and with international musicians. That's something that I'm investing in as well. Then, we're producing more of these musicians – recording more of these young bands. Then of course, the band's record is going to come out. That's something I'm looking forward to. What I'd really like to do is have a Pak-India lineup which is sort of like a supergroup which features some amazing Indian musicians and also people from Pakistan. That would be a very cool thing to do. So, make that like a project and come out to India and play with those guys. For me, that would be very meaningful – great artists from both countries. Because you know, the music is common, the language is common, the raagas are common, and so, why not have players who can go back and forth? If things ever got stable in Pakistan, it would be great to take an Indian lineup into Pakistan and have them play there. That would be a trip!
Watch the first part of the Tehelka Music Project featuring the Mekaal Hasan Band.
In your Tehelka Music Project video, you seem quite angry while explaining the term 'sufi rock'. Why is that?
It's become like this corporate, hip tag now. Anything from Pakistan is considered Sufi. But the true Sufi music is qawwali music. That's how they spread Islam in the subcontinent – by singing the poetry of sufi saints. So now anyone who sings something with "Maula" or "Ali" or "Rabba" suddenly becomes a Sufi artist, and they may have no link to that whatsoever. Agar main bhajan gaa doon toh (If I start singing bhajans), I don't become a devotional singer! I think they said something like, "Jal is a Sufi band." I was like, "What are you talking about man? Jal is a pop band!"
Sufi-rock was a term that was coined to market Junoon back in the mid-1990s. Junoon had some hits with Sufi kalaams. They did Bulleh Shah's 'Bulleya', which later Rabbi also did. That's what started the tag. But what happens is that everyone becomes a Sufi singer from Pakistan. Like, you could not say that for co-VEN for Poor Rich Boy or Zeb and Haniya. You could say it for us. Some of what we do is Sufi-based, but most of it is coming from the traditional base that the subcontinent has. We'll do tarannas, traditional bandishes, we'll do something like 'Ya Ali' which is a traditional bandish set in a particular raag. But we'll also do something like 'Rabba' or 'Chal Buleya'. The lyric writing is what determines whether it's Sufi poetry or not. It's not just a tag. The Sufi lifestyle is very different from what is being portrayed. Those people are like sadhus. They're very peaceful. Their religion is peace. It's not got anything to do with violence or politics. It's an attitude and if you are singing those things, then it's justified. If Abida Parveen wants to present herself as she's a Sufi singer, that would be accurate, because it is a part of what she does. She's predominantly a folk singer but she also delves into Sufi music because it forms part of the landscape. It's probably the same here as well.
This ends the first part of our two-part interview with Mekaal Hasan. Watch this space for part two.

Buzz on the Street: May Jobs Report Anticlimactic After Volatile Week
A look back at the happenings on Wall Street this week, as seen by Minyanville's Buzz & Banter.
Wednesday, June 5, 2013
Apple Patent Issue a Big Question Mark
Michael Comeau
Yesterday afternoon. the ITC ruled against Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) in a patent dispute with key rival Samsung.
The ITF ruled that Apple infringed on a Samsung patent, and as a result, some older products like the iPhone 4 and iPad 2 can't be imported and/or sold.
That's not a big deal -- the iPhone 4 is over three years old and a new iPhone is just around the corner. The iPad 2 is over two years old. And the products in question are only the AT&T ones.
However, there are concerns that Samsung could try to extend the patent ban to other Apple products, counteracted by the possibility that President Obama could toss out the ban since it is related to standard essential patterns, which are usually expected to be licensed pretty easily and freely.
In other words, nobody knows anything.
But this is a patent case, so what else is new?
Beige Book Observations
Michael Sedacca
Since the data is for the most part backwards looking or things we already have, the effect is muted.
One thing I picked up on is that the auto sales rhetoric is a bit more tapered. For a while, the Fed has noted "strong" auto sales. That has now been
Conversely, housing was upgraded to "moderate to strong pace," but no surprise given the strong growth in housing starts and new home sales.
Lastly, consumer spending/sales remains designated at 'mild growth'.
Why a Drop in U.S. Manufacturing Shouldn't Surprise Anybody
Vadim Pokhlebkin - Elliott Wave International
Over the past 18 months we have discussed the global economic contraction that was steadily making progress toward the United States.
While it may have started in Europe, we observed the clear slowing in China's economy in the April issue of The Elliott Wave Financial Forecast and then the spread to our northern and southern borders (see June EWFF, p.8).
Despite historic fiscal and monetary stimulus, economic contraction has now jumped the border fence, as Monday's release of the most recent US ISM Manufacturing Index dropped to 49, its lowest level in four years. A reading below 50 is thought to signal outright contraction.
The steady march toward the depths beyond "recession" is apparently catching most economists by complete surprise. Yet take a look at this ISM chart: Do you see a trend?
See chart below.
Economists never look forward, only backward, yet even the most recent reading was "unexpected." Our forecast remains intact: the manufacturing index will fall much further.

Credit Check
Fil Zucchi
Good morning all. As we sit 24 hours before the Big Bad Payroll number (tic) the trend of rising rates in everything bonds continues. High Yield rates are now a full 100bps off the bottom, with the increase in Treasury rates accounting for about 1/2 of that. The 2yr swaps, the US CDS, and foreign sovereign CDS remain very quiet, but large US financials CDS have been ticking up. Broad CDS indices on corporate bonds have also moved up a fair amount. The latter is what makes broad media news even though it is by far the least important as we monitor the true state of affairs in corporates.
Yesterday new issuance was zero except for a $250MM preferred by Allstate (NYSE:ALL), but Monday and Tuesday came in at more than $14 billion total. Hardly a crisis.
All in all, rates are clearly having a correction from lows that were totally unsustainable and counter-productive to new issuance. We just can't expect buyers to keep taking bonds that pay almost nothing. Aside from scary headlines which - make no mistake - WILL impact equities, there's nothing wrong with the demand for corporates, even if we were to go into an extended issuance lull and rates were to go up 100, 200, or 300 bps. from here. So while stocks could, and likely will, use the action in corporates as a catalyst to correct (and we know that the sharpest correction occur in primary moves) there is nothing to suggest that corporate buyers won't come back to the trough and companies will be handed more billions to rig their stocks.
For shorter term Minyans, since my long positions are mostly in Nasdaq related names, I looked at the Nasdaq-100 (INDEXNASDAQ:NDX) chart with long and short term Fibonacci retracement levels, horizontal support areas, and DeMark targets, and these are important areas I am watching: 2939 -> 2917, 2893 -> 2878, 2841 -> 2831, and 2800 -> 2769.
Again, while getting down to 2800 would probably freak people out, particularly considering that a lot of traders for more than 5 months were gorging on stocks because of the time tested/fail proof analysis that "today is Tuesday", it would actually do little to harm the longer trend in place since 2009, and may find even me arguing that at 2800 the Nasdaq really would look like a buying opportunity.
Doller Yen Yikes!
Peter Prudden
What we are seeing unfold in world risk markets (equities, commodities, and currencies) is the potential unwind of the dollar-yen carry trade. We have witnessed a sharp decline off the recent high in dollar-yen, and risk assets are appropriately responding. Let's see how today's action unfolds. A spike reversal off highs in gold, crude, and treasuries prices along with a potential bottoming in the U.S. dollar and equities will largely confirm the new secular shift into stocks and out of fixed income.
Looking at a larger view of dollar-yen shows a potential double bottom in 1994 and the November 2012 low. These are the parallels I'm drawing against. Yes, a sharp rise was witnessed over the previous 6 months in the Nikkei (INDEXNIKKEI:NI225), U.S. stocks, and their respective currencies. If you are playing with the 2007-2012 playbook, then over bearishness is welcomed. I'm looking at a longer view and believe these moves, although near term extended, are just beginning to break out. In regard to stocks, we got the move from 1575 to the 1690-1700 level and are now back to an area of interest, for me that was 1610 with a bit of wiggle room. Holding here or slightly above the 2007 highs confirms my view for 1760. If we are to continue this fall then the new secular thesis is largely voided, and we will return to the E wave bear market scenario.
And the winner is...
Todd Harrison
If a picture spoke 1000 words... you know the drill; we've been watching this for some time and true to form, we're stuck in the middle of dueling channels with a monster catalyst tomorrow. The question, of course, is how psychology is shaping up; estimates for the change in non-farm payrolls is 163,000.
If we blow out that number--a 300K print, for example--does the tape scream higher and then fade lower (as taper tantrums take hold)? I think so. Conversely, if it's a paltry print--a 50K lot--does the tape get hit before reversing higher on hope (of more stimulus)? Perhaps.
The trickiest print--and perhaps the path of maximum frustration--would be in-line, and we would quickly hear three days of volatility getting sucked out of option premiums.
I'm flat directional (SPY) risk, with an eye on adding some out-month downside exposure from higher levels (or, if the tape gets sloppy post print, I may re-initiate using the other side of S&P 1600 as my buy-stop). I do own some Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) calls, with a tight stop, as well as another blue-chipper, for a trade, but they're small potatoes relative to the risk bat of late. I'll tell you; that was some round trip!
I'm hosting a mid-quarter web-cast for our investors after the close so at a point, I've gotta gussy up. Fare ye well into the bell and remember, the definition of an investment should never be a trade gone awry, and the risk you go home with is what you'll wake up to in front of the most important economic release of all-time, that is until the next one arrives!

Let $f:\mathbb R^n\to\mathbb R^m$, $x\in\mathbb R^n$. What is a drivative $f'(x)$? It is the linear map $f'(x):\mathbb R^n\to\mathbb R^m$, $h\mapsto (f'(x))(h)=:f'(x)h$.
But what is a differential $df$? Usually people say $df(x)=f'(x)h$, but what is $h$? I tried to write it more correctly: $df(x,h)=f'(x)h$. I compared it with above. I see that simply $df=f'$. I'm confused a bit.

Samsung Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3 will get Android 4.4 KitKat in late January or early February
We've already seen some updates to Android 4.4 KitKat going out to non-Nexus devices, though so far only for Motorola's smartphones. That's obviously going to change at some point in the future. But while other manufacturers have made at least some of their plans on the matter official, Samsung has so far stayed mum.
Fret not, though, for we now know when the Korean company plans on updating the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3 to the latest version of Android. The two flagships are set to get the new software either in late January, or early February.
The information comes from French carrier SFR, and only applies to the devices it's sold, as you might imagine. This gives us hope that a rollout for non-branded Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3 units bought unlocked might even arrive a few weeks earlier than that – but nothing's sure because Samsung insists on not making its update plans public.
That may have been the status quo for every manufacturer last year or before that, but now that most companies offer periodic updates on updates (so to speak), it's high time Samsung changes its communication strategy on the matter – or actually gets one.
Maybe 2014 will bring us that, who knows. Here's hoping.

Photos: Rodriguez, Takayama Hold a Unification War
By Rafael Soto
On Saturday night at the Arena Monterey in Monterey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico, over 9,000 fans in attendance got more than something extra. They got what was clearly the best of 2014 to date and only the fourth unification bout since 105 lbs. was inaugurated in 1987.
Over twelve rounds of breathless action, 21-year old WBO 105 lb. titlist Francisco Rodriguez Jr. (15-2, 10 KO) of Monterey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico and 31-year old IBF titlist Katsunari Takayama (27-7, 10 KO) left their hearts in the ring in a battle rich with leather, movement, shifts of momentum, and nary a wasted moment. In the end, Rodriguez rode a knockdown in the third round to a unanimous decision to send the hometown fans home happy.

Company Description
This major chain of coffee shops is rapidly becoming a prominent international company, it still operates with a very small family feel. International expansion is a priority over the coming years, as is continuing to open approximately 50 stores a year in the UK. This is a fast paced company; there are always 50 things on the go and there is a necessity to roll up your sleeves and get the job done. It is however, an incredibly rewarding company to work for with real opportunity to put your stamp on the role and move it forward significantly. The company is looking for individuality, combined with the ability to think outside of the box and have some fun at the same time. Whilst the role will be based in Central London, there will be some travel to stores in the UK from time to time

Last year, Permuted Press and Simon & Schuster announced a zombie merger of epic proportions. Simon & Schuster picked up a handful of well-known Permuted Press titles like J.L. Bourne's Day by Day Armageddon and Z.A. Recht's Plague of the Dead .
Up next for release in the Permuted Press/PocketBooks merger is David Dunwoody's Empire, which is scheduled for release on March 16, 2010. Fans and curious zombie enthusiasts are encouraged to begin placing their pre-orders now, through Amazon.com, as well as local bookstores. Harrisburg zombie fans should visit their local Borders store to place a pre-order, so they are guaranteed to get their hands on a copy of Empire the day it's released.
About the book:
The year is 2112.
The crippled U.S. government and its military forces are giving up the century-long fight against an undead plague. Born of an otherworldly energy fused with a deadly virus, the ravaging hordes of zombified humans and animals have no natural enemies. But they do have one supernatural enemy: Death himself.
Descending upon the ghost town of Jefferson Harbor, Louisiana, the Grim Reaper embarks on a bloody campaign to put down the legions that have defied his touch for so long. He will find allies in the city's last survivors, and a nemesis in a man who wants to harness the force driving the zombies—a man who seeks to rebuild America into an empire of the dead.
Hailed as "A MACABRE MASTERPIECE OF POST-APOCALYPTIC ZOMBIE GOODNESS" on the Library of the Living Dead podcast, Empire brings stunning new twists to a shattering and unforgettable scenario of the not-too-distant future.
Simon and Schuster currently has an excerpt you can check out online, and online pre-orders can be placed through Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and Borders.

Improved International Formulations for the Viscosity and Thermal Conductivity of Water Substance15(1986); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.555763View Description Hide Description
This paper describes improved international formulations for the viscosity and thermal conductivity of water substance recently adopted by the International Association for the Properties of Steam.
The Viscosity and Thermal Conductivity of Normal Hydrogen in the Limit of Zero Density15(1986); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.555764View Description Hide Description
This paper contains a new representation of the viscosity and thermal conductivity coefficients of normal hydrogen in the limit of zero density as a function of temperature. The correlation is based upon the semiclassical kinetic theory of polyatomic gases and a body of critically evaluated experimental data. In the temperature range 200–400 K the accuracy of the representation of the viscosity is estimated to be ±0.5%. However, at the lowest temperature of 20 K and the highest temperature of 2200 K, the uncertainty rises to ±2.0%. The available thermal conductivity data of high accuracy cover the much more restricted temperature range from 100 to 400 K and the correlation of this property is limited to that range. Above room temperature, the uncertainty in the correlated values is no more than ±0.5%, but below room temperature it rises to one of ±1.5%. An attempt has also been made to represent the viscosity data by means of a correlation universal among several other polyatomic gases but it has proven unsatisfactory. An extension of the temperature range of the thermal conductivity correlation based upon the Wang Chang and Uhlenbeck kinetic theory also fails to produce acceptable results.
The Viscosity and Thermal Conductivity Coefficients of Gaseous and Liquid Argon15(1986); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.555765View Description Hide Description
Data for the viscosity and thermal conductivity of gaseous and liquid argon have been evaluated and represented by empirical functions. Tables for the viscosity from 86 to 500 K for pressures to 400 MPa, and for the thermal conductivity from 90 to 500 K for pressures to 200 MPa are presented. For the viscosity, uncertainties of 2% or better for pressures below 100 MPa, and 3% for higher pressures are assigned. For the thermal conductivity the uncertainties are 4% for temperatures below 150 K and 3% or better for temperatures above. The enhancement in the conductivity close to the critical point has been accounted for. The status of the argon transport data and the philosophy of fitting them are reviewed.
Standard Chemical Thermodynamic Properties of Alkyne Isomer Groups15(1986); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.555766View Description Hide Description
The chemical thermodynamic properties of alkyne isomer groups from C2H2 to C5H8 in the ideal gas phase have been calculated from 298.15 to 1000 K from tables of Stull, Westrum, and Sinke. In the absence of literature data on all isomers of higher isomer groups, the properties of isomers of C6H1 0 to C8H1 4 have been estimated using Benson group values. Equilibrium mole fractions within isomer groups have been calculated for the ideal gas state from 298.15 to 1000 K. For isomer group properties, increments per carbon atom have been calculated to show the extent to which thermodynamic properties of higher isomer groups may be obtained by linear extrapolation. Values of C ○ P , S ○, Δf H ○, and Δf G ○ are given for all species from C2H2 to C8H1 4 in SI units for a standard state pressure of 1 bar.
Recent Progress in Deuterium Triple‐Point Measurements15(1986); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.555767View Description Hide Description
The triple point of deuterium is a proposed reference for defining the temperature scale between 13.81 and 24.562 K. We review recent measurements of this fixed point; our discussion concentrates on experiments with samples confined in transportable sealed cells. We also present theoretical estimates of the dependence of the triple‐point temperature on the spin composition of the sample. Satisfactory agreement is obtained with experimental data on deuterium at low concentrations of the p a r a (J=1) species. Present results support the adoption of the triple point of e‐D2 as a standard temperature reference.
Rate Constants for Reactions of Radiation‐Produced Transients in Aqueous Solutions of Actinides15(1986); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.555768View Description Hide Description
Rate constants have been critically compiled for reactions of ions of the actinides Am, Cf, Cm, Np, Pu, Th, and U, as well as the element Tc, in different oxidation states with various chemical species in aqueous solution. The reactants include products of the radiolysis of water (hydrated electrons, hydrogen atoms, hydroxyl radicals, hydrogen peroxide) and transient species derived from other solutes (e.g., carbonate radical). The data are useful in the estimation of migration properties of actinides, which are relevant to waste management studies.
Thermodynamic Properties of Key Organic Oxygen Compounds in the Carbon Range C1 to C4. Part 2. Ideal Gas Properties15(1986); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.555769View Description Hide Description
The ideal gas thermodynamic properties of forty‐four key organic oxygen compounds in the carbon range C1 to C4 have been calculated by a statistical mechanical technique. The properties determined are the heat capacity (C ○ p ), entropy {S ○(T)−S ○(0)}, enthalpy {H ○(T)−H ○(0)}, and Gibbs energy function {G ○(T)−H ○(0)}/T. The calculations have been performed, in most cases, over the temperature range 0 to 1500 K and at 1 bar. The contributions to the thermodynamic properties of compounds having internal‐ or pseudo‐ rotations have been computed by employing a partition function formed by the summation of the internal rotational or pseudorotational energy level for each rotor in the given molecule. These energy levels have been calculated by solving the wave equation using appropriate barrier heights, rotational constants, and potential functions for the given rotations. The thermodynamic properties have been calculated using a rigid‐rotor and harmonic‐oscillator molecular model for each species. The sources of molecular data and the selection of the values used in the calculation are described. The calculated C ○ p and {S ○(T)−S ○(0)} values are compared with experimental results where appropriate.

According to Facebook: Greenville County Pet Rescue, this beauty is ready to leave foster care and find a loving, forever home.
Foster parents are the backbone of the shelter. They work under the rescues, or the shelter, to care for a dog or cat until a rescue has room to take the animal in and match that dog or cat with the perfect home.
Unfortunately, the system can bottleneck, leaving fosters unable to help save more lives because they have as many animals in their care as can be handled comfortably. This is why it's important for fostered animals to be adopted.
Forrest has been in foster care for 10 months now.
NAME: Forrest
BREED: Hound mix
SEX: male
EST. AGE: 5 mos
Est Weight: 18.2 lbs
Health: pelvic fracture, growth plate (healed while being treated for parvo)
Temperament: dog friendly, people friendly.
Available: Now
If you fall in love with this sweet baby, located in the Greenville, South Carolina area, please contact Greenville County Animal Care Services at firstname.lastname@example.com. Be sure to put the pets name and animal ID number in the subject line of your email.

|Multiple Numerical Solutions and Stability of Transonic Flows over Airfoils
|Computational and Applied Mathematics Colloquium
|Feng Liu, University of California, Irvine (Host: J Xu)
|Abstract Link:
|Following a general presentation on the numerical simulation of steady and unsteady transonic flows over wings and turbomachinery blade rows by using computational fluid dynamics, I will focus on the findings of multiple numerical solutions for the Transonic Small-Disturbance equation and the Euler equations. Both symmetric and asymmetric solutions are possible for a symmetric airfoil at zero angle of attack within a certain free-stream Mach number range. The stability of the multiple solutions is analyzed using numerical methods. It is found, the symmetric solutions tend to be unstable, while the asymmetric solutions are stable. I will discuss the relevance of such stability analysis to the intrinsic unsteady behavior of transonic buffet over airfoils and wings.

Summer is a busy time for travel and international destinations are on many people's hot lists. One of the things people don't usually think about is how to stretch travel dollars by astute currency conversion. A leading credit card comparison website CardHub released its 2014 Currency Exchange Study in order to help travelers save money on purchases processed abroad. The study found that credit and debit card users can save 10% over converting dollars to foreign currency.
The study compared currency conversion rates and fees from Visa, MasterCard, the country's 15 largest banks, and Travelex. Here are highlights of the findings:
- On average, the cheapest way to convert currency is to do so automatically with a no foreign transaction fee credit card or a no foreign fee debit card on the Visa or MasterCard network. The average bank and Travelex location charge 6.73% and 10.17% more, respectively.
- While the cost differential between major card networks and the financial institutions that provide hard currency conversion services remains substantial, it has declined 17% for banks and 37% for Travelex since 2012.
- The two major banks with the worst currency conversion deals are SunTrust and U.S. Bank. SunTrust charges $1.4813 for 1 Euro and has a $10 conversion fee. U.S. Bank charges a 1.4936 exchange rate and a $9.95 fee.
- CardHub surveyed 35 of the 50 largest credit unions, and only four offer currency conversion services: State Employees Credit Union, First Tech Federal Credit Union, Citizens Equity First Credit Union, and ESL Federal Credit Union.
- On average, the cost of currency conversion varies little between banks and credit unions, with the latter being 1.65% less expensive.
For the full study, visit: http://www.cardhub.com/edu/currency-exchange-study/
Here are more tips from CardHub for international travelers:
1. Use a no foreign transaction fee credit card for the majority of international spending (this includes purchases made through foreign-based companies while still in the United States)
It's common for international travelers, especially first-timers, not to feel ready to leave until they've got some of the hard currency used in their destination country. It's just one of those things that's traditionally been recommended.
But with the banking system becoming increasingly digital, it makes sense for the easiest way to buy things in a foreign currency to be with plastic. Why waste the time exchanging physical currency and risk carrying it around when a credit card handles the process automatically and gives the best possible exchange rates in the process? You're going to save relative to a bank or airport kiosk exchange no matter what card you use, but getting a credit card with no foreign fees is an easy way to reduce costs even more. Just remember to get such a card before booking anything through a foreign-based company because if the transaction gets processed outside of the U.S., it will trigger a foreign surcharge.
2. Bring a debit card with low international ATM withdrawal fees as well
You're going to need cash at some point in your trip – whether it's for a cab, tipping a bellboy, or something else entirely. The best way to accommodate that need is to bring a Visa or MasterCard debit card, as long as it doesn't charge too much for international ATM withdrawals. This will enable you to not only get the same low exchange rate as with your credit card, but you'll also be able to take out cash as needed and reduce the damage a pickpocket could do.
3. Notify your bank of your travel plans
Banks will suspend your credit and debit cards due to suspicions of fraud if you do not alert them to the fact that you're traveling out of the country. This might actually be a good idea even if you're traveling domestically because banks have been known to suspend accounts that display transactions outside one's normal geographic area.
4. Get the phone number to call your bank collect
If your card gets lost or stolen, being able to contact your bank will not only help nip any potential fraud in the bud, but most banks will also overnight you a new card. The bank will pay for the call too, so you needn't worry about international charges.
5. Steer clear of dynamic currency conversion
If a merchant offers to convert your purchase total from the native currency to U.S. dollars, they might be trying to help you out. Or they could be looking for an excuse to apply a high exchange rate and squeeze a bit more money out of you. It's best not to find out, especially when you can use your phone or a small pocket calculator to make quick conversions and better understand how much things cost.

Success. One word. Many meanings.
Nobody can be successful until they define what success is to them. Everybody's definition is different.
For me, my sucess becomes the meaning of my life.
I see life as a series of choices, at every step , every turn, we are presented with a choice. My success would be to navigate through the maze of life making all the right choices, and turning away from the wrongdoings. I believe that a man, or woman, with open eyes can see truth from lies as one can see day from night.
