War Between Saudi Arabia And Iran Could Send Oil Prices To $250
James Stafford: The rift between Saudi Arabia and Iran has quickly ballooned into the worst conflict in decades between the two countries.
The back-and-forth escalation quickly turned the simmering tension into an overt struggle for power in the Middle East. First, the execution of a prominent Shiite cleric prompted protestors to set fire to the Saudi embassy in Tehran. Saudi Arabia cut off diplomatic relations and kicked out Iranian diplomatic personnel. Tehran banned Saudi goods from entering Iran. Worst of all, Iran blames Saudi Arabia for an airstrike that landed near its embassy in Yemen.
Saudi Arabia's Sunni allies in the Arabian Peninsula largely followed suit by downgrading diplomatic ties with Iran. However, recognizing the dire implications of a major conflict in the region, most of Saudi Arabia's Gulf State allies did not go as far as to entirely sever diplomatic relations, as Saudi Arabia did. Bahrain, the one nation most closely allied with Riyadh, was the only one to take such a step.
Have you ever wondered how billionaires continue to get RICHER, while the rest of the world is struggling?
"I study billionaires for a living. To be more specific, I study how these investors generate such huge and consistent profits in the stock markets -- year-in and year-out."

Many of them are concerned about a descent to further instability. Nations like Kuwait and Qatar have trade links with Iran, plus Shiite populations of their own. Crucially, Qatar also shares a maritime border with Iran as well as access to massive natural gas reserves in the Persian Gulf. These countries are trying to split the difference between the two belligerent nations in the Middle East. "The Saudis are on the phone lobbying countries very hard to break off ties with Iran but most Gulf states are trying to find some common ground," a diplomat from an Arab country told Reuters. "The problem is, common ground between everyone in this region is shrinking."
The effect from the brewing conflict on oil is murky, but for now it is not having a bullish impact. In the past, geopolitical tension in the Middle East, especially involving large oil producers, would add a few dollars to the price of oil. This risk premium captured the possibility of a supply disruption into the price of a barrel of crude. However, recent events barely registered in oil trading. That is because the global glut in oil supplies loom larger than any potential for a supply disruption. Oil dropped to nearly $30 per barrel on January 12 and oil speculators are not paying any attention to the tension in the Middle East.
Also, the conflict could simply manifest itself in an intensified battle for oil market share. Iran has put forth aggressive goals to ramp up oil production in the near-term. And Saudi Arabia continues to produce well in excess of 10 million barrels per day while discounting its crude in several key markets, particularly in Europe in order to box out Iran.
But what if the current "Cold War" between Saudi Arabia and Iran turned hot?
Saudi Arabia has a variety of reasons to not back down, not the least of which is the very real sense of being besieged on multiple fronts. An article in The New Statesman by former British Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, John Jenkins, clearly laid out the threats that Saudi Arabia sees around every corner: extremists at home; a growing Iran; toppled allies from the Arab Spring; low oil prices; and a fractured relationship with the United States. The nuclear deal between Iran and the West was confirmation on the feeling in Riyadh that it is becoming increasingly insecure.
Already the two rivals have engaged in proxy battles in Yemen and Syria, supporting opposite sides in those wars. A full on direct military confrontation would be something entirely different, however. It would have catastrophic consequences for oil markets, even when taking into account the current supply overhang. Dr. Hossein Askari, a professor at The George Washington University, told Oil & Gas 360 that a war between the two countries could lead to supply disruptions, with predictable impacts on prices.

Incentive Efficient Risk Sharing in Settlement Mechanism
The purpose of this paper is to address a question concerning risk management in continuing, multi-party, contractual, clearing and settlement arrangements through which large-value payments are typically made. We are particularly interested in the issues of incentive compatibility when athird party possesses a private information concerning the riskiness of transfers being made. If a third party possesses private information that would be of value in determining how best to settle a payment, how does the exposure of that party to the settlement risk affect the quality of information that the party chooses to provide? In this paper, we address the question by analyzing a specific class of parametric environments of a schematic, formal, model of a settlement arrangement or a payment netwrok.

Top 10 Ways to Boost the Immune System NaturallyHealthy Living, Natural Remedies
By Melanie Christner, NTP, CHFS, CGP of Honest Body
Dear Mom,
Have you ever questioned your sanity as you nurse your child through another round of a miserable sore throat, hacking cough, or ear infection? As you swish out the throw-up bowl for another round? As you schedule another doctor's appointment?
Some of life's parenting questions are easy.
"Mommy, is lake spelled with a 'c' or a 'k'?"
"Mama, what season comes after winter?"
Some questions are not as simple or straightforward … like how to keep your sanity and maintain a better-than-miserable experience for your child during cold/flu season.
Enter the practical and timeless wisdom of the GAPS Diet …
Robust health…
These are on my list of favorite words (and what I aim for with my family and practice).
Today I'll be examining the first of the top 10 ways to boost the immune system. These are taken from the book, Gut and Psychology Syndrome, by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride. And they are simple ways to have robust health.
For those of you who may be unfamiliar with her work, Dr. Natasha is a neurologist with a masters in nutrition from the UK, who created a dietary protocol for healing autism, as well as other neurological, chronic and autoimmune issues. She has helped patients around the world and has trained other practitioners to do so as well. The GAPS Diet helps by healing and sealing the gut lining, reducing toxic burden on the immune system, and replenishing beneficial microbes. For more on GAPS you can visit gaps.me
This list of immune system boosters influence immunity for the better. They are not just for the winter season either…they influence the intricacies of the body in ways that only whole foods and natural practices can…working with our bodies and not against.
So … numero uno … drumroll please.
(Keep it light, health talk can get too serious!)
Boost the Immune System #1 : Fresh animal fats (from meats and dairy), and cholesterol rich foods (especially raw egg yolk)
When I first began my journey into real foods and dietary healing, the most surprising aspect was the concept of animal fats and cholesterol as healthy and healing. Intuitively though, my cells were doing a happy dance (yay!).
Why animal fats and cholesterol?
Cholesterol is one of the most essential substances to the function of the human body!
– The brain and nervous system is the most hungry for it. Our brain cells and memory depend on it.
– The second system most hungry for cholesterol is our endocrine system.
– The hormones, built with cholesterol by our endocrine glands, are responsible for important activities, such as:
- Reproduction and sexual health
- Emotions
- Behavior
- Bone, brain, and muscle formation
- Energy production
- Metabolism
Cholesterol is essential for our immune system to function!
The human organism is composed of 100+ trillion cells
Immune cells are "star" cells…
- Lymphocytes
- Helper T cells
- Natural killer cells
- The "phils", neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils
- Macrophages
- Mast cells
- Etc…
Immune cells depend on cholesterol to fight infections and repair themselves after defending and fighting for us. Animal and human studies have shown that folks with high levels of cholesterol have a higher protection against infection. They are four times less likely to get AIDS, they are less likely to pick up every cold, and they recover much quicker when they do get sick.
Those with low cholesterol are more likely to get sick, stay sick longer, and have more of a chance of an infection morphing into a dangerous and even deadly one.
Cholesterol is important in cell to cell communication. Since immune cells communicate with each other throughout the body it is important to have well-made cell membranes that have good cell receptor sites and messaging capabilities.
Diets high in poor quality fat, i.e. vegetable oils like canola oil, corn oil, cooking sprays, margarines, hydrogenated, partially hydrogenated and trans fats, cause inflammation and lead to immune abnormalities.
Without cholesterol and saturated fats in its membrane, the immune cell cannot fulfill its tiny little destiny.
The ability of white blood cells to recognize and destroy foreign invaders such as viruses, fungi, and bacteria, is restricted without sufficient saturated fatty acids in them.
Saturated fats and cholesterol are what give every cell membrane their structure and stability.
Cholesterol is such an important part of physiology that the body has very tightly regulated mechanisms to keep blood cholesterol at a certain level. We give our bodies a hand if we consume foods rich in cholesterol.
Which foods are richest in cholesterol?
- Caviar (a whopping 588mg of cholesterol per 100g…baby making food)
- Cod liver oil (570mg of cholesterol per 100g)
- Fresh egg yolk (424mg per 100g)
- Butter (218mg per 100g)
- Coldwater fish and shellfish (salmon, sardines, mackerel, and shrimp, ranging from 173mg to 81mg per 100g)
- Lard (94mg per 100g, with other animal fats following, such as beef tallow, chicken, duck, goose fat)
Summation – with cholesterol and saturated fats, you too can fulfill your destiny
A few facts on fats and cholesterol with regard to immunity:
- Caprylic acid (a fatty acid found in butter and other animal fats) is a powerful antiviral nutrient
- Monolaurin, extract of lauric acid (fatty acid found in coconut and breastmilk) is also a potent antiviral
- Old medical literature shows that infections like tuberculosis used to be treated with raw cream and raw egg yolk (high in cholesterol)
- Native Americans and other peoples used bear fat as medicine (and for a lil' baby making, if necessary)
- Vitamin D (a dietary source high in D is fermented cod liver oil) is a steroid hormone and powerful immune and gene regulator. Apart from dietary sources, Vitamin D actually starts with cholesterol in your skin and, with the sun's obliging kiss, undergoes several changes…first in the skin, then the liver, and finally the kidneys, before it is in the active form that regulates calcium metabolism and absorption, and strengthens immunity
Where can I get these healthy fats to boost the immune system?
The best way to get animal fats and good quality eggs (that are pastured) is to get to know your local grass-based farmer. You can also find help from a local chapter of the Weston Price Foundation. Animal fats such as tallow, lard and poultry fats are not always readily available, but if you befriend your local farmers they can usually help you find them. There are also online sources for healthy fats.
- Cod liver oil – I recommend fermented cod liver oil rendered the traditional way with no heat to denature nutrients and delicate omega-3 fats.
- Caviar
- Egg yolks – Ask around to find your nearest grass-based farmer or backyard enthusiast.
- Coldwater fish and shellfish – wild caught.
- Lard and other animal fats.
How we incorporate fats and cholesterol into our family's diet
As a mother of four children I am keen on having healthy kiddos! Some ways in which we incorporate healthy fats and cholesterol to boost the immune system are:
- Liberal butter usage on grain free muffins (I make my own raw butter or use Organic Valley's pastured butter)
- Raw pastured eggs in smoothies, Russian custards, my homemade mayonnaise, and sometimes in soups
- Shrimp weekly, sauteed in butter of course!
- Green Pastures fermented cod liver oil daily – at least 1 tsp for the kids and 2 tsp for mom and dad
- We saute' plenty of vegetables in lard, butter, coconut oil, etc. and we add these fats liberally into any soup we make
Incorporate healthy fats and cholesterol into your family's diet and those "mama nurse" moments will become fewer and farther apart (your cells will also do a happy dance).
Your turn. I would love to hear how you incorporate fats into your family's diet! Please let me know in the comments below, or visit me at my website Honest Body.

I was wondering if there is a "write up" on each of the "immune boosters" in this list? I have only been able to find #1, about animal fats and cholesterol rich foods. It would be nice to have information and recommendations on each point listed as to how to incorporate these suggestions into one's life as you have done with #1. I have been recommending things to friends and although I am quite well read, it can be difficult to express and share this with others. Thanks for all you do!
You also neglect to mention LIVER! I eat a fair amount of grass-fed beef liver and it looks like it should rank at number 3-1/2 as its cholesterol content is in the range of 241-300mg / 100g (depending on the source).
@Deb: "This is a anti-vax site. They don't want to hear that here. Funny, the blog says their friends and family are sick with the flu. I guess all their healthy eating and no flu shots kept them from getting it. Oh wait…"
To what blog are you referring? Nowhere in this blog did anyone say their friends and family are sick with flu. So what would your point be in this false statement?
Peggy C
And oh yes, as someone else pointed out, saturated fats are best, mono are okay, nut and seed oils, not so much, especially seed oils. Seed oils are full of highly unstable, easily oxidized polyunsaturated fatty acids, definitely not what you want for a healthy immune system.
Why don't you just come out and say it (about fats): all polyunsaturated fats are easily oxidized and that's BAD for you. Monosaturated fats are not great either, they just oxidize slower than polyunsaturated fats. Saturated fats do not oxidize for years and years at room temperature – if they do, they're not pure.
But in the next immunity section I see the emphasis is on cold pressing, not saturation. Is this why you can recommend nut and seed oils (which have high proportions of unsaturated fats)? I hope you'll at least mention which of these seed oils are GMO and to be avoided.
Unsaturated oils also are susceptible to being glycated, which creates Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs). These nonfunctional molecules accumulate, cannot be reversed, are hard for the body to dispose of and contribute to many undesirable conditions. We hear about AGEs from excess sugars/simple carbs consumption, but AGES can be made with lipids and proteins.
What about discussing the differences between long chain and medium/short chain fatty acids??? Meat fats are composed of long chain fatty acids whereas tropical fruit oils (palm and coconut) are not, so they're metabolized much differently and do not set the stage for inflammation and many other problems. For example, long chain fatty acids contribute to body fat accumulation when one's needs are satisfied, but short chain lipids do not. This is just one of the many health differences.
All my studies of fats show these are very key health differences, but they are rarely discussed in articles about them. Many articles go half way there at best, then leave the door open for consumption of oils with significant proportions of unsaturated fats. Perhaps the writers know better but don't know how to counter the prevalent nonsensical "artery clogging fat" lingo (originated by American seed oil marketing), or yield to the relative abundance of vegetable oils, supermarket scarcity of tropical fruit oils or tag-along benefits of some oils (like the fiber in flax seeds).
There are only a few fats in my kitchen: cold pressed extra virgin coconut oil, palm fruit oil, butter (or ghee) and olive oil. The latter is not used for high temp cooking and mostly goes into salad dressings. And I strictly trim fat off all meats, before and after (if necessary or away from home) cooking (at low temps).
If you want to keep your endocrine system (or many other parts of the body) healthy, that should not be at the expense of consuming unsaturated or long chain fats. It is not necessary to be consuming these to be healthy, actually the opposite is more the case.

DAB, If I'm not mistaken, AGE are combinations of proteins and glucose, not fats and glucose. Not defending PUFA–even cold pressed, they are not good as once in the body at body temperature, they are easily oxidized, generating free radicals, causing inflammation, and so on. But unless I've got my Biochemistry wrong, AGE are not made from fats of any sort.
Yet no healthy traditional society ever ate lean meat.
Hello, thanks for the useful article. I am curious about your recommendation for cod liver oil dosage.
Green Pastures says one dose is 2 ml.
Just curious why you recommend 1 tsp for kids and 2 for adults? Are there more specific parameters for children of different ages? For example, would I give my 2 year old the same dose as a 10 year old?
Peggy C
These are all good, but there's another way as well: get your kid vaxed against the flu. The flu can be deadly. This year, especially, it's killing youngsters. The flu vaccination is very effective and almost never causes anything more than a slightly sore arm for a day (much easier to deal with in your child than all the symptoms and possible complications of the flu. Wish they'd recommended annual flu shots when my kids were growing up. We all get it now. Just saying….
Mindy R
If the flu vaccine is so effective, then why are so many people dying from the flu? Of course they tell you on the news that all the people who have died weren't vaccinated, but in a society where flu vaccines are as routine as taking a shower, does that really make sense? The fact is, there is NO valid evidence that the flu vaccine is effective at all. When the company that makes the vaccine is also the company that conducts the effectiveness and safety studies, then there is no credibility to the results of those studies. That's why people are dying…taking a vaccine full of last year's flu strains is unsafe, absolutely pointless, and just another way for pharmaceutical and insurance companies to gouge us all. Oh, and I didn't even mention how flu shots are full of heavy metals and neurotoxins. There is proof, however, of the long term damaging effects of playing with ourselves and our children like science experiments. Here's just a few:
You have to understand that vaccinations are big money for pharm companies. They will do anything – including lie, pay off the media, buy out doctors – to convince people that these "experiments" are safe. But think about it…if we're all healthy and well, how could those companies survive?
Naomi Snider
I was looking through the list of ten to see if you mention Thymus tapping. Do you have any input about this?
Sorry, but with the oil spill in the gulf and the Fukushima disaster being so badly under reported, I will not eat any seafood nor will I ever again. Nuclear half life lasts longer than mine. I am surprised to see bloggers still recommending seafood to be honest.
We will only eat fish caught out of the pristine creekwaters near our home, mostly trout. We live in very rural eastern US than hasn't been ruined by fracking yet.
This brings us a struggle that many of us are now having….esp those of us who have extra special kids.
What can we do when we are allergic to beef , eggs and milk. We don't do gluten either. We do coconut in place of dairy but still different.
What can we do to norish our families with these limitations.
I am with you Aliyanna. In addition, what if we can't get quality sources of fish and meat? What do you recommend then Melanie?
I live in Canada and getting Green Pastures is basically out of the question. It's equally impossible to get anything other than grass fed beef and my 7 year old son is intolerant to that and dairy. I am grateful that people are sharing their knowledge about paleo-inspired living, but I am frustrated because I find it so hard to get the quality products – and I find many people are eating paleo anyway, this is a dangerous game with toxins and antibiotics.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Maggie!
I see you posted some time ago, but just wanted to share some info for others who might be reading from Canada.
Regarding your concerns about finding high-quality pastured meats in Canada – there are lots of us out there, but we can be hard to find! We are a tiny pasture-based farm outside of Vancouver raising pastured heirloom pork, pastured duck, chicken and eggs as well as plenty of veg. We sell direct from the farm, and we always sell out. You won't find us at the grocery store or farmer's market.
There are a few places to find pasture based products – http://www.eatwild.com is a good place to start, but so is your local farm and garden section of Craigslist! I know that sounds bizarre, but I have bought everything from beef to honey farmer-direct for very good prices. Don't be shy about posting a "Wanted" ad for your groceries, either, whether that be on craigslist or on the wall of your local coop. There is a whole sub-culture of grass farmers out there and we are happy to help.

Pingback: top 10 immunity boosters | what we discovered
Hi to all, it's actually a nice for me to pay a visit this
web site, it consists of helpful Information.
web page
Your means of describing the whole thing in this piece of writing is really good, every one be able to simply be aware
of it, Thanks a lot.
My son got mono at college, his first year away from home. I had not yet discovered traditional cooking, but we were pretty close, lots of eggs, always real butter, my husband grew up cooking w bacon fat, so we use that, and always plenty of meat, stews, sausage, and had been using cod liver oil (carlsons). So my son had been use to a rich, healthy diet. I think his mono was related to the sudden change in diet at the school dorm with so much processed food and polyunsaturated oils. He recovered well enough, but it was a bump in the road. Now, I've heard about meningitis breakouts at Princeton. I wonder if it could be connected to the poor quality food.
Melanie Christner, NTP, CHFS, CGP
There are so many unintended consequences resulting from a poor diet, and fueling our energy and our cellular repair with junk. I think your hunch is on track.
Thank you for the comment, Erin.
Erin- I can SO relate! My daughter just finished her first semester of college, too, and is really feeling the difference between eating real food at home, to the processed food they serve in cafeterias. She really tries to consume the best foods she can in the cafeteria, but it is difficult to do. She shops at the local health food store and buys yogurt, grass fed butter, raw milk and kombucha, but even consuming those didn't keep her from getting a bug in November. (I cured her 2 week cough in 2 days with fire cider when she came home for Christmas break!)
She and I spent a lot of time looking at other strategies she can take to keep herself strong while she was home for the holidays, and even though she is taking probiotics, taking cod liver oil, and other supplements I sent with her, her biggest downfall, we discovered, is sleep. She prefers 9 hours, but living in a dorm she is only getting about 6, and sometimes less. Between the crap in the cafeteria and the lack of sleep, these kids are fighting a very big battle! (Which explains why she slept on and off for 3 days when she came home!!)
The food richest in cholesterol is brain. E.g. 100 grams of beef brain contains 3010 mg of cholesterol. Moreover, it also contains great amounts of Omega-3 fatty acids: 1225 mg/100 g. The proportion of Omega3 to Omega 6 equals 30:1.
Cassandra Brecht
That's interesting, and it makes sense. I guess the tough part would be finding brain from a trusted source. The ranchers at my farmers' markets don't sell it, but they might, I suppose, if they had any demand.
I got some brain with my half beef we recently got. How do you prepare it?
I'm still struggling to purchase it, but i heard people who prepare it with scrambled eggs. First you should parboil it (put in boiling water for a while), then remove the "outer skin", cut to pieces and just fry on the pan with butter. Then you just add the eggs, scramble them, add salt, favourite spices. I'm curious how does it taste, but people who tried it claim it is truely delicious. I have to try it myself.
There is some nutrition data about brain:
It seems to be rich source of selenium and B12.
I have tried brain that way and it was delicious! I actually didn't know I was eating brain at the time – I just saw someone chopping some meat on a cutting board, then cooking it with scrambled eggs. Since we were at a pig killing, I assume it might have been bits of meat and fat you just couldn't use anywhere else and they didn't want it to go to waste (it did look raw, not cooked, until it was put in the pan). I honestly couldn't tell it was brain – it just tasted like scrambled eggs with bits of meat and seasonings.
Melanie Christner, NTP, CHFS, CGP
Hi Pafnucy,
That is a really interesting point, thanks for bringing it up. Brain is not exactly on the American menu yet. It is only in more recent years that we do not put every part of the animal to good use.
Thank you.
Wow where I come from (curacao) goat's brains and liver is a traditional dish. I have always hated it but with this new found knowledge I'm going to give it another try!

Presented without comment, via Mint:
The investigation into an alleged fraud at the now defunct Kingfisher Airlines Ltd has run into an unlikely hurdle: the airline's books of accounts have vanished.
We promised we'd only return to this when we had a bit more clarity about who might step into Raghuram Rajan's shoes at the RBI when he leaves in September.
Well, does this from the Times of India yesterday count?
NEW DELHI: The government has narrowed its long list of candidates for the next Reserve Bank of India governor to just four.
The four short-listed candidates are: Reserve Bank of India deputy governor Urjit Patel, former deputy governors Rakesh Mohan and Subir Gokarn and State Bank of India chief Arundhati Bhattacharya.
Yes. At the least, it's three less names to deal with than we had last time. Read more
Courtesy of Nomura's Sonal Varma:
It has been a difficult Monday morning for India's bankers, economists and analysts. Not only has the Rajan-era come to an unexpected close but the monsoon has thumped into the country. Now, where once certainty and clean pants existed, a world of confusion and splashed trouser legs sits soddenly.
The usual notes are coming through into our inbox too, most expressing said confusion and near-term worry, even though markets are shrugging a bit so far. Here's a one month view of the INR and the Sensex: Read more
"India's economic growth accelerated to 7.9 per cent in the first quarter, widening its lead over China and confirming the country's status as the world's fastest expanding large economy and the most dynamic emerging market."
Well, qualified, confusing good news, as Goldman note with our emphasis:
Data from the expenditure side shows that the improvement in GDP growth in Q1 was largely driven by higher private consumption and relatively lower drag from net exports. Fixed investment declined for the first time since March 2014. However, a significant fraction of headline GDP growth is unexplained as 'discrepancies ' amount to 4ppt of GDP vs 2.1ppt in the previous quarter (the discrepancy is the difference with the industry GDP data, which are used as the control).
Before we begin, how about a very, very quick quiz?
Question: What percentage of Indians paid income tax in the 2013 fiscal year? Read more
Well things just got (more) interesting.
This is only a draft bill — to "regulate the acquisition, dissemination, publication and distribution of geospatial information of India which is likely to affect the security, sovereignty and integrity of India" — and it's mostly aimed at licensing internet companies like Google, but check out this bit:
15. Penalty for wrong depiction of map of India etc.-Whoever depicts, disseminates, publishes or distributes any wrong or false topographic information of India including international boundaries in contravention of section 6, shall be punished with a fine ranging from Rupees ten lac to Rupees one hundred crore and/or imprisonment for a period up to seven years.
Once you've had a luddite at the Reserve Bank of India it's hard to go back…
Amongst other things Rajan stabilised the rupee, brought inflation under some sort of control (with some outside help) which has allowed him to cut rates, overseen institutional changes at the RBI, has started to get a grip on India's problem loans, and was a big part of convincing Delhi to crack down on willful defaulters and others who used to have avenues of political appeal when their loans were being questioned.
He also managed to thoroughly woo much of Mumbai's financial community while doing so.
And now he might be off. As in, when his current term ends. Read more
It's an unorthodox move.
It all stems from that fact that India (following the WHO) wants to increase the size of the pictorial warnings on cigarette packets to 85 per cent from a current 20 per cent.
The cigarette companies do not want that to happen, obviously. But it is happening — admittedly in a somewhat confusing fashion — and said companies have noped out of manufacturing anymore cigarettes until, well, hmmm. That's the tricky bit.
Here's ITC, the largest cigarette manufacturer by far in India and one which is part owned by British American Tobacco: Read more
Patanjali Ayurved " is disrupting India's consumer space" according to my inbox.
Patanjali Ayurved is also an ayurvedic health foods and medicine brand that's fronted by India's Swami "Baba" Ramdev. He's a yogi who says that he has no economic stake in what he also says is not a profit-oriented company.
From the FT last week:
Instead, he says, it is part of a mission to boost India's economic self-reliance, akin to Mahatma Gandhi's appeals for Indians to renounce foreign wares during the anti-colonial struggle.
"This is not a business," the yoga guru says, as the heavily armed government commandos serving as his bodyguards look on.
Competitive federalism in India has had some weird effects. For one it has led to slogans like this becoming apparently acceptable:
Happening Haryana? Really? Not that the drive to get India's states to compete with each other to attract business is a bad thing and not that Haryana isn't a nice place but, again, "Happening Haryana"? We'd like to see what focus group got that one over the line. Read more
Who could have seen this coming? From the FT's Amy Kazmin:
Diageo, the world's largest spirits company, has agreed to pay $75m to Vijay Mallya to step down as chairman of United Spirits, the Indian drinks business he sold to Diageo in 2012.
Diageo, which paid roughly £1.8bn for a 55 per cent stake in United Spirits, has been locked in a bitter boardroom stand-off with Mr Mallya, the former controlling shareholder, since April, when he refused a request from United Spirits' board to resign.
It's not like a clash of cultures between 'wilful defaulting', high flying, risqué calendar pioneering, Enrique Iglesias loving, Mallya and the ironically sober Diageo was pretty obvious to anyone who even glanced at the situation now was it? Read more
India's more than two dozen state-backed banks (aka PSUs) that make up 65-70 per cent of the overall banking system are still struggling, weighed down by a mountain of bad loans. A mountain of bad loans that they have very probably failed to fully recognise.
The Indian government really wants to help, because fixing that problem would help India's growth rate, but it's hamstrung by — amongst other things — awkward fiscal math.
What to do?
Well, put the recap below the line, obviously. Read more
Do click to enlarge, any complaints to UBS, where credit also resides:
It may have been a slip of the keyboard, but Marc Andreessen's pro-colonialism Tweet on Wednesday (later retracted) arguably told us more about the mindset of Silicon Valley insiders than anything ever uttered at a TechCrunch disruptor conference.
Nor should it strike any of us as surprising. The parallels between unicorn imperialist ambition and the British Empire run deep. (And no, we won't dwell on the shared fondness for unicorn insignia.)
The co-founding Zoman* — Deepinder Goyal, that is — took time for a chat with us last week about the change going on in India's start-up world, a change that has involved hyperbole by many and an utterance of mea culpa by a few.

We previously wrote about Facebook's battle with Indian regulators over its "Free Basics" product, which is a stripped down version of the internet designed to
ensure Facebook's global dominance help bring the world's poor online.
Trai, the Indian telecoms regulator, had launched a consultation in December about differential pricing for data services: effectively whether or not it's ok to let telecoms companies charge different amounts for different parts of the internet. Readers in the US and Europe may know this debate by the term "net neutrality". Read more
There's an old notion that companies exist for one purpose above all else: to make money for their shareholders. It seems to be an uncool idea in Silicon Valley, where startups like to style themselves as charitably-minded enterprises that are simply trying to make everyone's lives better and more "connected" or some other buzzword.
Which one is Facebook?
Look no further than this opinion piece Mark Zuckerberg wrote for the Times of India just after Christmas. He accuses his Indian critics of lying about "Free Basics", the emaciated version of the internet that Zuckerberg has been pushing since 2013 to ensure that his social network is the first thing people in emerging markets see when they come online: Read more
India is a large place. It is made up of many states. Moving goods between those states is a freaking nightmare.
That's where the loooong awaited GST — India's promised goods and services tax, which has been debated for ten years — comes in. The idea is to unify all indirect taxes in India, simplifying the system and lubricating domestic trade. Estimates of the boost to GDP a GST could bring differ (more on that at the bottom) but there is little doubt it would be of benefit, even if you restrain yourself to just discussing its impact on the blood pressure of lawyers and anyone moving goods across state borders.
But it just keeps on not getting introduced.
Here's Cap Econ's Shilan Shah on why: Read more
Want to know a big difference between Chinese and Indian GDP stats?
Well, we don't think many Indian officials would say things like this, via China Daily:
Several local officials in China's Northeast region sought to explain dramatic economic drops in their areas by admitting they had faked economic data in the past few years to show highgrowth when the real numbers were much lower, Xinhua News Agency reported on Friday.
"If the past data had not been inflated, the current growth figures would not show such a precipitous fall," one official was quoted as saying.
The report cited several officials in the region who acknowledged they had significantlyoverstated data ranging from fiscal revenue and household income to GDP.
Irony thy name is fudged Chinese data.
And it's not, we hasten to add, that Indian GDP stats don't have their own problems — they do — it's just that the lack of really strong centre out (and back in) incentives make us think the problem isn't systemic so much as statistical. Read more
Sorry. Got carried away by charts like this one from BofAML:
Compare, contrast and then draw your own conclusions about India's newly born Gold Deposit scheme, its plan to lure gold out of temples, vaults and jewellery boxes with the promise of (hopefully but not apparently yet) lovely enough interest rates.
First… from Reuters last last week on its rather stuttering start:
A gold deposit scheme launched amid fanfare by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi two weeks ago has so far attracted only 400 grammes, an industry official said on Thursday, out of a national hoard estimated at 20,000 tonnes…
The scene, as we went to pixel, outside the Reserve Bank of India in Mumbai — from where Rajan stares across the city — on the day 17,000 of its staff decided to up sticks in protest about interference from India's government in its workings and, one suspects more pressingly, pensions:
Observe the… absolutely nothing unusual happening. Read more
While reading up on Indian FDI we stumbled across this little fact from Capital Econ's Shilan Shah as he attempted to downplay seemingly impressive India-Africa FDI stats…
With our emphasis
Prime Minister Modi stated that "India has emerged as a major investor from the developing world in Africa… surpassing even China". In a strict sense this is true. According to UNCTAD, India's total stock of FDI in Africa stood at US$50bn in 2014, compared to China's stock of US$26bn.
But digging a little deeper, this claim quickly unravels. Nearly 95% of Indian FDI to Africa flows into just one economy – Mauritius. Admittedly, Mauritius does have a significant Indian diaspora and once had a large textiles industry. But in reality, the nature of the FDI inflows has more to do with the favourable tax terms that investors receive through the two countries' Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement.
UBS looks at the fundamentals of India's new gold monetisation schemes on Thursday and in the process comes up with one of the best summations we've ever seen on why gold investing in and of itself is stoopid — especially when done en masse by a relatively poor economy.
Indians directly or indirectly hold an estimated 22,000 tonnes of gold worth USD 800bn or 39% of Indian GDP (banking system credit is c50% of GDP). Gold thus held is problematic to some because unlike most capital goods it derives its expected value not from its ability to produce (directly or indirectly) goods or services that will meet the material demands of consumers. Instead it derives its value from investors' collective perception of what it is worth.
Indeed. Read more
At pixel the wannabe Netflix of India, Eros International, is getting no love in Mumbai, off 20 per cent:
Of course, it's the NY open (where it's also listed and suffered on Friday) to watch now but the trigger for the fresh fall appears to be a Wells Fargo note (and attendant gossiping) out on Friday which cast doubt on the company's receivables and user numbers. Or, at least, professed a lack of understanding which appears to have resonated considering there were already questions about a recent spike in revenue booked in the UAE weighing on the stock.

Consider this:
I don't know what you want to call me. Santa Claus is what, eh, [journalist x] called me earlier. You want to call me a hawk.. I don't know. I don't go by these things. My name is Raghuram Rajan and I do what I do.
- The RBI governor, 29 September
And yes, that's certainly A reason for why he cut the policy rate 50bps to 6.75 per cent on Tuesday, twice what had been expected.
Here's another one, via Credit Suisse's Neelkanth Mishra: Read more
We don't mean to keep banging on about it. But the bad loans in India's banking system are both a significant barrier to a new, and badly needed, investment cycle getting properly underway — and a source of some hilarious numbers.

My wife, son and I went for a one-night retreat. The outside of the hotel says "classic 1950's", which blends nicely with Anna Maria's "Old Florida" style. The front desk was extremely friendly and extremely knowledgable about Anna Maria Island. Sebastian was very accommodating, especially with our request for an extra hour for checkout. The rooms were spic and span clean, and we really liked the tile floors - much cleaner than a carpet. The studio had a nice breakfast table and an oven and range for cooking. They even had pots, pans, plates, silverware and cups! Every room in the hotel has a great view of the pool and the beautiful gulf waters. The pool featured a slip-free deck, which was very nice, especially for a family with a young child. There were also picnic tables in multiple places on the property. The beach was just steps away, and it was fantastic. Coffee and cookies in the hotel lobby are a nice touch. We highly recommend this hotel for a getaway to the beautiful Anna Maria Island. We have already recommended this hotel to two friends, and one of them has already booked a weekend. Thanks for a great time Blue Water! We will be back!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- It is time to relax and enjoy some time away. We are a gulf front resort on a beautiful, quiet beach with white sand, family-owned for more than 40 years. Whether you choose an Apartment, Studio or Bedroom - all of our rooms have a gulf view, daily room service, Flatscreen Cable TV, free Wireless Internet and individual controlled A/C plus you can enjoy hot coffee and cookies in the lobby every morning. Hit the beach, just a few steps away from your room or take the free Trolley to explore the whole Island. In our landscaped courtyard area enjoy a game of Shuffle board or grab a pool towel from our office and take a dip in our heated pool. ... more less

WA's South West is preparing to be hit by damaging winds predicted to reach up to 125 km/h on Friday.
Vigorous winds will persist across southeastern NSW tonight after a severe weather warning was issued by the Bureau of Meteorology earlier today.
Gusty winds set to sweep across peaks surrounding the capital sparked a severe weather warning for parts of the ACT and Snowy Mountains on Monday night.
The wild weather of Saturday morning might be gone, but it's not about to warm up any time soon.
Sydney shivered through another chilly Sunday, as the mercury struggled to rise to the heights of Friday's near-record July temperatures.
Friday night's gusts and rain brought trees down across Canberra, with the SES called out on 81 jobs.
Sydney is bracing for a cold and windy weekend after a warm and sunny Friday that could set new records.
Sydney could be on track to record its hottest ever July day on Friday, with the mercury possibly soaring to an unseasonal high of 26 degrees in the middle of winter.
Britain has sweltered through the hottest day of the year so far, with temperatures soaring to 35C in parts of the country.
This June has joined every other month of this year so far in setting an all-time monthly record for global temperatures, according to two separate US science agencies - although the globe was not as warm last month as it was earlier in the year.
Ferries were brought to a halt and flights in and out of Sydney Airport were cancelled or delayed by a thick fog blanketing the city.
While the snow may have melted in Canberra, the action is heating up on the slopes south of the ACT.
The southern half of Australia awoke to a deep winter chill on Thursday but the worst of the Antarctic blast is quickly passing.
Emergency services in Canberra were kept busy on Wednesday after wild weather downed multiple trees and caused traffic woes on several roads from Tuesday evening.
A winter freeze has gripped the nation, with snow and storms in the south of the country, even the top end of Australia is experiencing a cooler climate.
A fierce blast of winter has prompted a severe weather warning for most of southern NSW, including Sydney.
Stunning images show the scale of the flooding in China, caused by weeks of torrential rain and compounded by a typhoon.
It will snow in the ACT tonight as a cold front moves over the region, the Bureau of Meteorology says.
Damaging winds and blizzard conditions are forecast for the ACT and region from Monday to Wednesday.
A powerful cold front is set to bring 'dangerous' conditions to large parts of south-eastern Australia in coming days and send temperatures plummeting in Sydney.
Sydneysiders look set for a soggy commute to end the working week, as an intense low pressure system off the coast delivers widespread showers, wind and large and powerful surf conditions to the city.
They said it would never fill. Now it has spilled.
Taiwan is bracing for the full impact of super typhoon Nepartak, a monster category-five strength storm bringing torrential rain.
Sydney is in for gusty winds on Wednesday, followed by chilly temperatures next week as Winter makes itself known.
NSW will likely cop its third buffeting from an east coast low in five weeks but there is some good news.
Canberrans still wringing themselves out from the wettest June on record shouldn't put away their gumboots just yet.
Sydney has just experienced a perfect winter's weekend, with sunny conditions and the temperature reaching into the high teens.
It's only the second July federal election in Australian history - but the weather signs are good.
There's good news though - it won't get worse.
Just when you thought Sydney's weather couldn't feel any colder, Monday is forecast to be cold and rainy.

Executive Producers Greg Plageman and Jonathan Nolan tease a Samaritan-dominated world and the resurrection of the Machine.
Executive Producers Greg Plageman and Jonathan Nolan tease a Samaritan-dominated world and the resurrection of the Machine.
As was widely expected, the Jonathan Nolan-created "Person of Interest" will end its run on CBS after its still-to-debut fifth season.
HBO's upcoming Michael Crichton adaptation, "Westworld," has temporarily stopped production as it nears its end.
Evan Rachel Wood stars in the first look at the sci-fi thriller from Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy.
At Comic-Con International, the cast and crew of "Person of Interest" teased what — and who — will be part of the 13-episode fifth season.
The cast and crew of the CBS crime drama gathered to discuss the guest appearance this week by the "Empire" star,
The actor, known for his roles in Million Dollar Arm and The Internship, will play a CEO in an episode of the CBS crime drama.
Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy tease that they want the audience to "come in knowing as little as possible."
Showing off the first image from the HBO sci-fi series, co-creator Jonathan Nolan calls the project "ambitious" and "subversive."
The adaptation of the 1973 Michael Crichton film is written by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, and produced by J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot.
Interstellar writer Jonah Nolan has reportedly signed on to develop a television series based on Isaac Asimov's Foundation novels for HBO.
Beautifully shot and painstakingly detailed, the filmmaker's sci-fi epic suffers from a frustrating inattention to its emotional core.

Scandinavian Leather is an album by the Norwegian band Turbonegro that followed the band's reunion in 2002 and was released in April 2003 on Burning Heart Records in Sweden, on Bitzcore Records in Germany, on JVC/Victor Records in Japan and on May 6, 2003 on Epitaph Records in the USA.
The sound[edit]
With Scandinavian Leather Turbonegro returned to the rock'n roll world as potent and powerful as never before. The album is essentially a continuation of the path beaten by its predecessor Apocalypse Dudes but it presents many more facettes to the sound known as 'deathpunk'. While the songwriting is reminiscent of the purity and simplicity of the Ramones, the sound is much more multi-layered and refined with ingredients such as pompous string arrangements, utterly harmonic backing vocals, unexpected leaps in frenetic arena rock as well as psychedelic undertones which results in the introduction of the new term "Rainbow Rock":[4] deathpunk with a pop sensibility if you will.

Variable precision exponential function
Exponential function
In mathematics, the exponential function is the function e, where e is the number (approximately 2.718281828) such that the function e is its own derivative. The exponential function is used to model a relationship in which a constant change in the independent variable gives the same proportional change (i.e. percentage increase or decrease) in the dependent variable. The function is often written as exp(x), especially when it is impractical to write the independent variable as a superscript.

Unit in the last place
In computer science and numerical analysis, unit in the last place or unit of least precision (ULP) is the spacing between floating-point numbers, i.e. , the value the least significant bit (lsb) represents if it is 1. It is used as a measure of precision in numeric calculations. If x has exponent E, then ULP(x) = machine epsilon x 2^E .

Arithmetic underflow
The term arithmetic underflow (or "floating point underflow", or just "underflow") is a condition in a computer program where the result of a calculation is a smaller number than what the computer can actually store in memory. Arithmetic underflow can occur when the true result of a floating point operation is smaller in magnitude (that is, closer to zero) than the smallest value representable as a normal floating point number in the target datatype.
more from Wikipedia
Arithmetic overflow
The term arithmetic overflow or simply overflow has the following meanings. In a computer, the condition that occurs when a calculation produces a result that is greater in magnitude than that which a given register or storage location can store or represent. In a computer, the amount by which a calculated value is greater in magnitude than that which a given register or storage location can store or represent. Note that the overflow may be placed at another location.
more from Wikipedia
Rounding a numerical value means replacing it by another value that is approximately equal but has a shorter, simpler, or more explicit representation; for example, replacing $23.4476 with $23.45, or the fraction 312/937 with 1/3, or the expression ¿2 with 1.414. Rounding is often done on purpose to obtain a value that is easier to write and handle than the original.

Pascal (programming language)
Pascal is an influential imperative and procedural programming language, designed in 1968¿ and published in 1970 by Niklaus Wirth as a small and efficient language intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structuring. A derivative known as Object Pascal designed for object-oriented programming was developed in 1985.

Computational science
Computational science (or scientific computing) is the subfield of computer science concerned with constructing mathematical models and quantitative analysis techniques and using computers to analyze and solve scientific problems. In practical use, it is typically the application of computer simulation and other forms of computation from theoretical computer science to problems in various scientific disciplines.

Mutator method
In computer science, a mutator method is a method used to control changes to a variable. The mutator method, sometimes called a "setter", is most often used in object-oriented programming, in keeping with the principle of encapsulation.
