wikiHow to Build a Simple Electric Motor
This article will teach you how to make a basic electric motor, great for simple experimental purposes or for a science project. You'll be using the electrical energy from a battery to produce mechanical energy that turns a coil. This is a very simplified version of motors found in household appliances, power tools, computer disk drives, and many of the other devices that make your life easier.
1Make the magnetic coil. Take a thin, coated magnet wire or copper wire, and wrap it 10 times around the edge of the paper tube. Leave a few inches of loose wire at the start and end of the coil.
2Carefully take the coil off the tube. Wrap the ends of the wire around the coil at opposite points of the circle. Add some tape to help keep the coil together if needed. Once you have the coil secure and balanced, you can cut off excess wire leaving only an inch on either side.
3Start making the base. Poke four holes in the plastic cup using the thumbtack. Place one hole 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) from the top, and another 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) from the bottom, then do the same on the opposite side. If you don't have a plastic cup, a styrofoam or paper cup will work too.
4Make the leads to the battery. Cut two pieces of stiff wire at a three times the height of the cup and thread them through the holes in the cup.
5Position the cup upside down. Place one magnet on the outside of the closed end of the cup. On the inside, place another magnet, or more if necessary, to hold the first magnet in place.
6Sand the wires. Sand the ends of the wires at the base of the cup and set them up to connect them to your battery.
7Adjusting the wires that will hold the coil. Stand the coil up on the magnet and match the height of the coil to the support wires. Bend one of the wires connected to the base forward, and the other backwards at the height of the coil.
8Make a perch. Keep bending the wires to create a perch for the coil, so that the coil is held up with as little space as possible between the coil and the magnet.
9Sand the support wires. Take the coil and sand all the coating off one of the support wires. On the other wire, only sand off half of the coating so that the coating will start to touch the support when the coil is closest to the magnet. If you want to adjust the sanding, you can just apply a new coating with a permanent marker (applying the coating with a permanent marker is very important as it breaks the magnet field and keeps the coil spinning).
10Connect the battery and test your motor. Secure the wire to the battery using tape, making sure that either end of the wire is touching the positive and negative ends of the battery. Some minor adjustments may be needed.
Community Q&A
Why do I use sand? Is it to eliminate friction losses between wires?wikiHow ContributorThe article is actually referring to sandpaper. You use sandpaper because the wire used for making the coil is enameled copper wire, which means the copper wire has an insulation coating. To ensure that there is proper contact between the coil end and the battery lead, you need to remove this enamel coating. So you use sandpaper to rub it off.
What can I use this electrical motor for?wikiHow ContributorOther than a learning experience, not much. This motor is fairly weak, and won't generate enough power to move anything. It will make a great science fair project, however.
What are the uses of an electric motor?wikiHow ContributorElectric motors have many uses. Motors which are used in simple circuits help in giving a better understanding of electricity, motion and technology to the students. Large motors used in cars or locomotives help in motion. Motors are a key component of the industrial world and the technological advances we are all familiar with today.
What happens if the number of turns (or wraps) increases or decreases?wikiHow ContributorIn general, the number of turns affects the torque and speed of the motor. If the number of turns increases, the motor will become slower (slow speed), but have more torque - application for heavier weights. If the number of turns decreases, the motor will become faster (fast speed), but have less torque - application for lighter weights.
Why do I place a magnet on top of the battery?wikiHow ContributorPlacing a magnet on top of the battery turns the electrical energy into motion since it will form a magnetic field.
Can you explain the principle of operation for this motor?
Can I add a simple motor to the bottle, plane or a car so that it gains momentum and starts flying or moving?
Can we fly with the help of this electronic motor?
Is it possible to build a motor that produces its own current?
What if I use non-enameled wire?
|Running motor
A more complex motor can also be made called a DC Motor with Commutator here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vg2dOxxwcA0.
- For high speed stability, you can make an oval shaped motor.
- To prevent the motor from getting off the base, loop the wires after placing the motor
- This setup works better on flat surfaces
- Tape the ends of bare copper wire to the batteries for insulation.
- If you use a thin wire and a strong current, your wires can get extremely hot!
- If a child is doing the project, make sure to provide the necessary adult supervision to avoid any accidents.
Things You'll Need
- A good length of thin, coated wire for the coil—magnet wire or copper wire would work
- Masking tape
- A plastic, styrofoam, or paper cup
- A thumbtack
- Stiff, coated wire for the support
- Two to four small magnets
- Battery—AA to a D battery would work for this project
- Scissors
- Permanent Marker
- Sandpaper

VIDEO: Playoff promo will get you excited for... the Raptors?
The Raptors have released a promo video for their upcoming playoff appearances on TSN in Canada and ESPN and TNT in the United States and it does a pretty good job hyping a team that hasn't made the playoffs since 2008 and whose history is pretty much a disaster zone.
More NBA: Power Rankings | Expert Picks | Seasons in Review | Playoff Picture
What is it about piano music over highlights of dudes running out of the tunnel that gets you hyped for basketball? I don't know, but it works. The Raptors clinched a playoff spot earlier this month and are in position to win the Atlantic Division. It's pretty amazing that the likely third seed is such an underdog, but it's accurate. You can read more on the playoff picture here.

The Chicago Cubs open the 2011 regular season on April 1st at home against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Cubs have a lot of questions to answer before that Friday afternoon, which, knowing Wrigley in April, will presumably be cold and rainy.
The team's rotation beyond the top three starters is up for grabs, the bench is unsettled and the bullpen has its own share of competition. In addition to handling those issues, manager Mike Quade must decide who his starters are at second base and in right field.
As far as the lineup goes, a couple things are set. Aramis Ramirez is entrenched in the lineup as the cleanup hitter, and sophomore shortstop Starlin Castro will likely return to the two-hole. The rest of the lineup, especially the leadoff spot, is still under construction.
Pirates starter Paul Maholm is in the cards to face Chicago on Opening Day, and his left-handed delivery would certainly impact Quade's lineup. Let's take a look at what that lineup would be as the Cubs face a southpaw to open the season.

NHTSA looking into legality of smartphone maps while driving
Posted by Ariel Levin-Waldman Categories: Cell Phones, Handhelds, Transportation
Laws on the books to stop texting or talking on a cell phone while driving are nothing new, in fact I know a guy who just got slammed with five points on his license for doing it. But laws regarding cell phone use while driving leave a gray area, GPS and map aids, programs not within the spirit of the laws when they were made and an uncertainty for courts.
The government is looking to change that.
The Transportation Department has asked congress to give them the ability to regulate map aids and devices as part of their ongoing battle with 'distracted driving.' The measure is part of the GROW AMERICA proposed transportation bill, and would give the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration free reign to set restriction and limits on apps and down the line demand changed to any it deems dangerous.
What does this mean in a practical sense? Apps for maps might start to look like the built in GPS system in your car, where some models make you press a button acknowledging that you will not set the device while the car is moving. It might mean that telling the court you were just checking your map won't get you off.
The measure has support from automakers who have already built those safeguards into their GPS devices. Regulatory agencies maintain that they already have the authority to regulate these apps as vehicle equipment, and only want it written into law.
That means they don't have the authority or they would not be demanding it from congress.

What are we expecting to hear about during the Google I/O 2014 keynote? Well, the biggest piece of news will likely be the reveal of the next version of Android, likely Android 5.0.

A look at the T-Mobile Test Drive iPhone package [Hands-on]
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Features, Handhelds
As we reported a few days ago, T-Mobile has introduced Test Drive, which allows both current T-Mobile customers and those in other carriers (or who have no cell provider at all) to borrow an iPhone 5s from the company for 7 days. That includes unlimited talk, text, and data with the only current T-Mobile device that supports all the wireless band's used by the company. It's an effort to show, not just tell, the US population that it's greatly improved its wireless network and tuned it for massive data use.
After the T-Mobile Uncarrier 5.0 event we were able to get our hands on one of the iPhone 5s Test Drive units, and we've included some images here. Inside the box is what we assume is a refurbished black iPhone 5s, along with a sealed Lightning cable, Earpods, and AC adapter. It's definitely not the Apple unboxing experience, but that isn't the point. As far as storage capacity, our iPhone 5s is a 32GB model, so there is room to try downloading apps, videos, and images.

Uncarrier 6.0: T-Mobile now gives all customers free, unlimited streaming music
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Corporate News, Music, Wireless / WiFi
At yesterday's T-Mobile Uncarrier 5.0 event, the company surprised everyone by also announced Uncarrier 6.0: absolutely free unlimited streaming music. Dubbed "Music Freedom," T-Mobile CEO John Legere revealed that any T-Mobile customer can stream music from Pandora, iHeartRadio, iTunes Radio, Spotify, Slacker, Rhapsody, Milk, and Beatport without having to worry about data caps. To make it clear, Legere stated "Every single note of music will come free, not against your bucket. Even when you exhaust your data bucket, you can still stream unlimited music at high speed." The services mentioned account for 85% of music streamed on T-Mobile, but the company isn't stopping there. For example, services like Rdio and Google Play All Access Music will be part of an online voting area that T-Mobile is providing to allow customers to choose which other music services they'd like to see added. The goal is to add a few new services each month.
If you already have an unlimited T-Mobile account, you aren't left in the cold. The company also announced a partnership with Rhapsody unRadio, an app that is available to anyone on any carrier, and T-Mobile unlimited customers get free access, while limited T-Mobile customers get a 20% off discount and pay $4 per month. If you aren't on T-Mobile, you pay $5 for unRadio.
Uncarrier 5.0 was the T-Mobile Test Drive, which sees the company giving anyone in the US an iPhone 5s for free for a week to try out the T-Mobile network.
Uncarrier 5.0: T-Mobile will lend you an iPhone 5s for 7 days to Test Drive its network
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Handhelds, Wireless / WiFi
During last nights T-Mobile Uncarrier 5.0 event here in Seattle, the company announced its Uncarrier 5.0 T-Mobile Test Drive, the next phase in its battle to separate itself from the typical pack of mobile wireless carriers. The Test Drive starts on June 23rd, and will see T-Mobile lending anyone in the US an iPhone 5s at no cost for a full seven days. What's the point? Well, T-Mobile CEO John Legere says that the company has been rapidly building its network coverage, and wants to prove it to anyone who wants to give it a try by providing the "latest and greatest" iPhone and unlimited voice, text, and data for the duration of the Test Drive.
The other item that the Test Drive aims to accomplish is increasing awareness that T-Mobile offers the iPhone as an option on its network. Apparently, since it took them so long to get the iPhone originally, the mind share just isn't there. This could change that. Apparently, Apple is on board with the strategy, as its the one that is providing the iPhone 5s units to T-Mobile for the Test Drive program, free of charge as part of a "growing partnership" between the two. Of course, it would stand to reason that Apple would want consumers to be aware that its devices are available on the nation's fastest growing network.
After your Test Drive, if you want to join T-Mobile, you won't be able to keep the same iPhone that you used during the trial, as that device will be wiped and returned to the pool of Test Drive devices. If you decide to keep it, T-Mobile will charge you $700 for the iPhone, and if you significantly damage it, the price will be $100 to repair it.
What do you think? Will you give the T-Mobile Test Drive a chance?
At the event, T-Mobile also announced unlimited, free music streaming on its network.

Fire Phone unlimited free photo storage only applies to smartphone images, doesn't include videos
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Handhelds, Storage
You know how Amazon's Fire Phone includes the perk of unlimited photo storage in your Amazon Cloud Drive account? Well, it turns out there are a couple of caveats. Here's how it works:
- The free storage is applied to the account that the Fire Phone is registered under
- The phone will upload your pictures and videos, but only the pictures get unlimited free space. Videos uploaded will use your Amazon Cloud Drive storage allotment.
- Photos uploaded are in their original, full-resolution format
- The unlimited free storage only applies to photos taken and uploaded with the Fire Phone. If you sync over photos to the phone that weren't taken with it, those will count against your allotment. Similarly, if you upload photos taken with the Fire Phone from another device, they'll also count against your storage space.
- If you give away or sell your Fire Phone, all of your photos will remain in your Amazon Cloud Drive. If you then get a new Fire Phone in the future, the unlimited photo storage benefit will return to your account.
Some have been comparing Amazon's offering to what Apple will be including in iOS 8, and later, OS X Yosemite, where it will also allow you to store all of your photos and videos in iCloud. The difference is that Apple will allow you to automatically upload your entire photo library, regardless of where the images were taken, but there will be a fee if you go over 5GB. There's no unlimited option for images, and certainly not for video.
You can pre-order the Amazon Fire Phone now.

By Maj. Michelle L. Baldanza, 4th BCT, 82nd Abn. Div. PAOAugust 24, 2009
FORT BRAGG, N.C. - During the first few weeks in a new theater of operation, units scramble to find all of their containers, complete necessary classes and set up their units areas.
Recently, 50 paratroopers from the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division completed classes at Fort Bragg that will make their first few weeks in country just a little less hectic.
The 4th BCT paratroopers graduated from the Contracting Officer, Food Ordering Officer and Project Purchasing Officer classes Aug. 4, allowing them to skip several days of training in Afghanistan.
"These classes will save us time in Afghanistan," said Capt. Nathan Dorsch, assistant S-4, supply officer for the 4th BCT.
"The availability of the classes overseas is limited and there is a potential to be turned away."
This is the first time these classes have been offered in the United States for units deploying overseas.
"In the past, the Regional Contracting Command would require these classes in Afghanistan, now they will just do a double check on the certificates," said Maj. Robert Mathews, 608th Contingency Contracting team leader.
In addition to training 4th BCT, the 608th Contingency Contracting team also trained 50 members of provincial reconstruction teams and other Fort Bragg units, said Matthews.
For the 4th BCT paratroopers, these certifications will make the process much easier when they get on the ground.
"I learned how FOO (food ordering office) money can support the brigade mission and
support Soldiers day to day," said 2nd Lt. Hans Mogelgaard, platoon leader for the Distribution Platoon of Company E, 1st Battalion, 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment and graduate from the three classes. "These classes will help our mission and allow us to logistically assist the Afghans."

LOS ANGELES -- Kobe Bryant brought some order to another sloppy finish by the Los Angeles Lakers.
Bryant scored six of his 35 points in the final 3:51 and the Lakers overcame three turnovers in the final 1½ minutes to beat Seattle 106-99 on Tuesday night, snapping a three-game skid and sending the SuperSonics to their fifth consecutive loss.
Rookie Kevin Durant had 25 points for Seattle, 12 of them in the final 6:05. But it wasn't enough to overcome a 15-point fourth-quarter deficit.
"They made it closer than I thought they were going to," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. "I didn't like the way we finished up. We had a 15-point lead, then we were wandering around defensively and started doing some things I didn't like. It's the sign of a young team that's still unbridled and still undisciplined. I'm not happy with that game, but it was a win."
The Sonics are a league-worst 2-13 in their first season under coach P.J. Carlesimo -- matching the poorest start in franchise history. They began their inaugural 1967-68 season 2-14 under Al Bianchi. Seattle has lost 14 consecutive games against Western Conference teams, including five last season.
"We're getting better and better and we're playing harder," Durant said. "During crunch time, I think that's when we're really cracking down. But we have to do that the whole game. Early in the year, we were giving the game away in the fourth quarter. Now we're giving it away in the third quarter. We just have to be more focused coming out of halftime."
The Lakers had a 77-67 lead with about 2½ minutes left in the third when Seattle's Nick Collison drove to the basket and sustained a cut below the right eye as Bryant took a swipe at the ball. Collison wasn't able to take the free throws -- so under NBA rules, he was ineligible to play the rest of the game and Jackson was allowed to select any one of the Sonics to replace Collison at the line.
"I've never liked the rule," Jackson said. "Obviously we've had a number of guys over the years that have had to shoot foul shots and come out and get taped or glued for a cut, like a boxer. But when you lose a ballplayer like that, it hurts you a lot."
Jordan Farmar hit a 3-pointer, his first points of the game, to give Los Angeles a 92-79 lead with 8:11 to play and connected again from behind the arc less than 2 minutes later. The Sonics got as close as 102-97 on Durant's three-point play with 13.2 seconds left, but Bryant helped clinch it with a pair of free throws.
"We were a little sloppy in the second half," Bryant said, "but we managed to iron it out and coast to a victory."
In a game that included nine lead changes and ties, neither team led by more than seven points until Lakers guard Derek Fisher sank three free throws for a 75-66 advantage after he was fouled by Earl Watson behind the arc with 3:17 left in the third quarter.
Bryant had 14 points in the first quarter, including a 19-foot jumper that edged him past 1985 NBA scoring champ Bernard King for 32nd place on the all-time list. Bryant's next target is John Stockton, who is 25 points ahead of him.
- Jackson handles timeouts differently than his peers. First, he huddles with his assistants instead of talking to the players right away at the bench and drawing up plays. "I like to collect information from my coaches -- go over our past possessions, look at how many successful possessions we've had and how many turnovers we've got," Jackson said. "We're competing with a sound system most of the time, a dance crew, or something else going on that's a noise factor. So I like to tell the players that this is the time they can support each other, talk to each other, towel off and get a drink. We only need about 20 seconds with them, anyway. I mean, I'm not going to give them a lecture on how to play basketball. But if we have something we have to correct, we go in there a little bit earlier."
- Among the sellout crowd was new Angels CF Torii Hunter, in town on the eve of his introductory press conference. One thing he has in common with the Lakers -- he moved to Los Angeles from Minnesota. "I've been here a couple of times, but this is my first Laker game as an L.A. player," Hunter said. "These guys treat you with so much respect, man, and I love it. They're spoiling me already."

The Detroit Tigers and New York Yankees have definitely kept up the intensity level since the start of this series. With what is riding on this Game 5, each pitch can really change the entire series.
With a pitch tracker that was consistently challenged and stars whose careers could be remembered for one particular at-bat in the post season, this provided lots of controversy.
Ivan Nova shuts it down after "forearm tightness." CC comes out of the pen.
Doug Fister throws well. Tigers hit homers on back-to-back pitches.
It all sounds crazy, but its the post-season. Nothing is normal.
There were times that if you weren't standing, you should check your pulse again.
Here are those moments.

Dear Mum and Dad,
What if I was gay?
Would you think any differently of me? Do you think you would be happy for me? Would you be disappointed in me? Do you think you would care?
Would you think I was any less Jewish? Would you consult the Talmud to see how acceptable my lifestyle is? Do you consult the Talmud to see how acceptable your lifestyle is?
Only one figure emerges with credit from this week's unedifying intra-community row over gay marriage: Vivian Wineman, the President of the Board of Deputies.

Turquoise Hill Resources (NYSE:TRQ), 51% owned by major miner Rio Tinto (NYSE:RIO) has continued to tumble toward its secular post-crash low at $7.10 made in late December 2012. When TRQ commissioned its ore concentrator at Oyut Tolgoi in the presence of high government of Mongolia (GOM) officials, they affirmed the lease - royalty deal and praised Rio, foreign investment and their commitment to maximizing their nation's resources. The moment seemed ripe for steady production at this world class site laden with copper, gold, silver and cobalt. After all, Mongolia is expected to get about 71% of the life-of-mine cash flow and Mongolians have 88% of the jobs at the mammoth project. Issues also seemed resolved with SouthGobi Resources (OTC:SGQRF) which Rio controls via TRQ (58% share in SouthGobi). But exhilaration was brief: about ten days after a rapid ascent of TRQ shares it began a tumble that preceded the collapse of nearly all precious metal and mining shares in February. TRQ sank to $7.26 on Friday the 15th traded a few pennies below that level February 19. The questions are why and what to expect going forward with TRQ, precious metals and mining generally.
Some of the problem is specific to the foreign investment climate in East and Central Asia. Partly this is rooted in ethnic-historic issues, partly in the geopolitics and finance of recent decades. Insight into how these factors play out is offered by a minor event in Rio's arrangement of its holdings in the area: the sale via TRQ of its $300 million interest in Altynamas Gold's Kyzyl mine in northeastern Kazakhstan to Sumeru Gold BV.
Russia had an operational mine there by 1956. It fell into disuse when the Soviet Union was re-structured. After a February 2012 feasibility study at Kyzyl, Turquoise Hill was proceeding toward renewed development when Rio cashed out to focus more on its Mongolian operations. A key to its struggles there lurk in the seemingly routine boilerplate about its sale at Kyzyl: "completion of the proposed transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals from the Republic of Kazakhstan's competent authorities."
Let's look at Kazakhstan and what is "customary" in that former Soviet Socialist Republic.
The Altynamas Gold project is near Ust Kamenogorsk (Oskemen) where Russia, China, western Mongolia and northeastern Kazakhstan kiss in a significant geographic crux. Kazakhstan is a "republic" with "authoritarian presidential rule and little responsibility outside the executive branch" as the CIA country overview explains. It is valuable reading.
The president has been around a long time. Nursultan A. Nazarbayev was Chairman of the Supreme Soviet of Kazakhstan S.S.R. for twenty months preceding creation of the new State in December 1991. Then he became President of the republic for the first of his seven-year terms. In May 2007 the terms were shortened to five years with a limit of two consecutive terms. Mr. Nazarbayev however is exempt from this limitation since his "official status" as the "First President of Kazakhstan allows him an unlimited amount of terms." This enables one to appreciate better the language in TRQ's provisional sale of its Altynamas Gold stake about "customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals from the Republic of Kazakhstan's competent authorities." As to competent authorities, Kazakhstan's "Council of Ministers" is appointed by President Nazarbayev who in 2011's election received 95.5% of the vote; the remaining 4.5% being ascribed to "Other."
Kazakhstan has a bicameral legislature, a Supreme Court (with 44 members) and many political parties but 81% of the seats are held by members of Mr. Nazarbayev's party, Nur Otan ("Fatherland's Ray of Light"). He is the chosen one and those who chose him affect investment, development and the share prices of the companies that make them. Kazakhstan is a crude example of how world management functions.
President Nazarbayev's consultation with representatives of various international advisors help constitute the "competent authorities" that rule on matters like TRQ's sale of its interest in Altynamas to Sumeru Gold. But $300 million is a very small matter compared to TRQ's Oyut Tolgoi mine (34% owned by the GOM) into which Rio has poured $6.2 billion. TRQ itself has a $7.5 billion market cap. Mining legend Robert Friedland began developing the site with his company Ivanhoe Mining which became TRQ when RIO acquired a controlling interest in April 2012. He too poured large sums into the mine and Mongolia and retains a 10% interest in TRQ. But East Asians are chauvinistic, even xenophobic. Those who manage the West into insolvency and social chaos use this nationalism to speed re-distribution of global wealth from West to East. Something similar happens in Europe north to south as part of the predictable malfunctioning of the euro project.
If Kyzyl mines with a half interest valued at $300 million require attention from the competent authorities of the republic of Kazakhstan, imagine the interests and authorities involved in the pace and conditions of development at Oyut Tolgoi and SouthGobi's coal mines at Ovoot Tolgoi. In my previous piece on TRQ's and RIO's efforts in Mongolia I suggested that readers research the adventures of Bat Khurts and Enkhbat Damiran on the intertwining of judicial, geopolitical and economic interests and their interface with Mongolian politics. This last link to Sain Banuu, Mongolians in London is particularly intriguing about Western intelligence agencies in the workings of GOM that like Kazakhstan was a Soviet Socialist Republic in the bad old days before the empire underwent a pre-Internet version of "the twitter revolution."
Mongolian politicians both in and not currently in power must spend significant time consulting with the competent authorities about foreign investment and the equitable proportion of royalties a host State should be paid for permitting outsiders to create wealth. The organizers of the game are more powerful than Rio. For them GOM is just an agency for global wealth management which may explain its volatility. Current President Elbegdorj has been in office only 3 and a half years and an election is upcoming in June. In 2009 he defeated Nambaryn Enkhbayar by a plausible margin, 51-47% similar to our own past two contests. Then Mr. Enkhbayar was convicted of misusing donated television equipment and jailed. He wants GOM to own more than 34% of Oyut Tolgoi. He has compared Rio's agreement with GOM to the 7 decades of Russian occupation. Like all politicians he says he is against corruption. And so it goes. It is starting to seem that RIO-TRQ are an agency for transfer of Western wealth to East-Central Asia. Also indicating flows of power and wealth, the London Stock Exchange is re-structuring the Mongolian exchange.
RIO and TRQ produced the first ore concentrate on January 31 and plan to proceed to phase 2 development of Oyut Tolgoi in June, "pending feasibility studies." These may be affected by the outcome of the elections which have been postponed to enable installing an "electronic polling system." Such systems can facilitate vote manipulation in Chicago, Hoboken or wherever. So the election will be closely watched by those with interest in Mongolia's development.
Given the many interested parties TRQ share prices are likely to remain volatile for years. Mongolia gets 95% of its oil and gas from Russia and nearly all its electricity from Russia and China so those two powers have dogs in this hunt along with Anglo-Australian RIO and its various companies. In a related event, Barrick Gold Corp. (NYSE:ABX) and Antofagasta Minerals (OTC:ANFGF) had their mining lease in Pakistan voided by that state's high court. Is that justice or nemesis? Pakistan was created by Britain in 1946 and is run precariously in cooperation with Western Intelligence agencies via the ISI (Inter Services Intelligence).
The mining sector has had a bad year. If global economies truly were related to markets then miners should be doing fairly well. The fact is that Europe's economy has been declining for 18 months and America's economy is sluggish and slowing. See this link on alarming developments at Wal-Mart, America's largest retailer and employer where executives speak of "a tougher economic environment" and "smaller consumer spending pie." More people are being impoverished and/or indebted by governance focused on fiscal games and increasingly centralized management. Control not growth is the mode and outcome of new policies. The Fed continues its direct intervention (trading) in the markets via its POMO, "permanent open market operation." This is the future: total gaming of systems as the quality of life declines.
Precious metal prices have been battered for four months with the carnage accelerating last week. My previous piece mentioned that paper-trading ETF's like (NYSEARCA:GLD) or (NYSEARCA:SLV) facilitate manipulation of prices by those who, 1) wish to keep acquiring massive amounts of metal at deflated levels and by those who 2) wish to direct investable funds to equities. This latter tactic keeps people happy and, on paper, richer. It also sets them up for panic selling when markets sag. A couple of examples: Kinross Gold Corp. (NYSE:KGC) reported favorable quarterly news and initially held up during the major sell-off last Thursday which saw Barrick Gold soar 5% and then give up half its gains in late day trading. On Friday Barrick gave up the rest of its gains and Kinross' share price collapsed 4.08% to $7.99, both companies falling on double their usual volume. It looks like people are fleeing the sector: buy panic. Similar results occurred from behemoths like Barrick to small and micro-caps from all regions, products (uranium, graphite, copper, gold or silver, rare earth) and stages of development: Uranium Energy Corp. (NYSEMKT:UEC), Focus Graphite (OTCQX:FCSMF), Energizer Resources (OTCQB:ENZR) with its huge hi-grade graphite property in Madagascar, and gold streaming company Sandstorm (NYSEMKT:SAND) lost 8.35%. The Junior Gold Miners ETF (NYSEARCA:GDXJ) made a new secular bottom (intraday) at $17.02 on double its usual volume and is down again Tuesday. The Silver Miners ETF (NYSEARCA:SIL) fared worse, down 3.28% while prominent silver streamer Silver Wheaton Corp. (NYSE:SLW) fell 3.51%. NovaGold (NYSEMKT:NG), held by major investors like Seth Klarman was down about 3.5% and is nearing its 52-week bottom as people hasten to the overheated equities markets. To me that makes NG a good buy. Eric Parnell notes that a surge in precious metal prices usually lags stimulus projects by a couple of months. Regarding Central Bank purchases of gold, the much-quoted 534 tons in 2012 is clearly understated. China's purchases alone exceeded that amount with its holdings now at 3,900 tons.
An exception to the mining downtrend that is pertinent to East-Central Asian affairs was SouthGobi Resources which gained 1.18% to $2.14, still near its 52-week low and looks like a buy for the bold. China's appetite for coal has not abated, nor has the pollution it sheds on our Pacific coast. But people seek inexpensive plays with great upside potential and SouthGobi is one though the context ensures volatility.
It's time to be contrarian, especially on the gold miners and soon on gold bullion, too. Don't sell now except from necessity. The tree is being shaken, don't drop and get put in someone else's basket. As for Mongolia, on the surface its politics are a world-away from neighboring Kazakhstan but its electoral trappings generate more heat than light. As a result, despite the magnificence of TRQ's work at Oyut Tolgoi the stock looks more like a trading vehicle than a buy-and-hold. TRQ has the potential to be the Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG) or Altria (NYSE:MO) of the resource sector but that time isn't yet. Buy around $7 and sell between $9 - $10. If the Enkhbayar faction gains power tussles over royalties will resume. Let's see what June elections and TRQ's 2nd stage of development brings. As I wrote in my first TRQ piece quoting investing legend Sir John Templeton, buy and "monitor aggressively."

I went to TheBalm's website yesterday (actually looking for the new Balmbini palette, which isn't shown) and this palette is there but the odd thing is that there are 2 different variations on the package – one with the "naked ladies" and one without and it seems to be totally random which one you'd get if you ordered. I found that sort of strange… It's also strange how their site really isn't very good or informative at all.
I got mine from the TheBalm website the day Christine's written review came out (Thanks, Christine!). On the Nude 'Tude palette page, there's one blurb with "Feeling Naughty…" and a pink Purchase button underneath, and another blurb with "or Feeling Nice" and ANOTHER pink Purchase button. You click on the one pink button corresponding to the version you choose. The option you chose, Naughty or Nice, will be reflected in your cart.
I agree, their site…um…does not inspire confidence. However, their service is really good. I placed my order in the early morning and it shipped later that day. Everything arrived thoughtfully packed and intact, so no complaints here!
Hey Christine, any news yet on when theBalm and the Beautiful palette is being released? I've tried checking on the website but to no avail.
I'm so mad. I didn't know about the Feeling Naughty or Feeling Nice option. I got the one without the girls and I was really mad because that's one of the reasons i bought it, for the cute packaging. They really should make that more clear. Pretty upset. :/ The shadows are still nice though.
