I. Introduction
This short extract gives you a taste of the personal "Child's Horoscope" by Liz Greene. The small samples taken from various chapters convey an impression of the complete horoscope (18-25 pages) which can be ordered as an E-Horoscope or a bound book in the AstroShop.Most parents long to provide their children with the best they can offer on every level. But what is "the best"? The birth horoscope of a child is a map of patterns and potentials which exist in that child from the moment of birth. Encouragement of these potentials in childhood can help a child to develop greater confidence and hope for a future which is more authentically his or her own, so that greater happiness and fulfillment are possible later in life. II. Your Child's Psychological Type
In this concise chapter Liz Greene describes the child's general temperament and his characteristic approach to life.The rich array of individual abilities and potentials portrayed in Jay's birth horoscope is set against the background of an inherent temperament bias which may be partly hereditary but is also the reflection of a mysterious essence which belongs to him alone. This mysterious "something" is already at work within Jay, helping him to develop his personality along the lines which are healthiest and most natural to him. [..] The vivid imagination which is such a marked gift of Jay's nature should never be stifled or mocked even if parents and family members have more prosaic demands to make of him. In particular, he may surprise you with a deep interest in the hidden side of life dreams, [...] III. The Characters in the Story
This is one of the most comprehensive chapters of the "Child's Horoscope". This short version touches only on a few of the central characters in your child's personality. The complete report provides a detailed description on 7-9 pages.The tension between the main characters in Jay's inner story is the source of energy which provides the impetus for growth, movement and the formation of a healthy individuality. Although Jay appears to live on the earth like other children, his heart really belongs to more ethereal realms. He is a highly imaginative child who may never be quite at home confined within the boundaries of material life. Like some character in a fairy tale, he instinctively [...] [..] Because of this subtle blurring of boundaries, he is a receptive child who responds readily to the feelings of others not only to individuals, but also to the unconscious atmosphere generated by the family and by other children in any group situation. Jay has an unusually [...] Hidden traits [..] Here are hidden all those powerful instinctual and emotional needs which, because they are so raw and intense, can cause Jay conflict as he develops. A strong will and strong desires inevitably cause conflict and competition with parents and siblings, and Jay's harmony-loving [...] IV. Emotional Needs and Patterns in Relationships
This chapter contains valuable information on the child's basic needs and the relationship with his parents. The complete horoscope covers this chapter on 5-6 pages.Every child has particular ways in which he or she experiences and seeks emotional contact with others, and this may not always accord with other, more dominant personality traits. [..] What he cannot understand is rough, brutish or cruel behaviour on the emotional and mental as well as the physical level. In all his relationships throughout his life, he will always seek as well as offer fairness and gentleness of mind and heart. Above all, words and [...] [..] Parental battles should never be used as a justification for interfering with the very vulnerable but very deep emotional bond between father and son, and it is most important that Jay's father endeavours to preserve the continuity of the emotional bond even if material [...] V. Fears and Insecurities
Knowing about their child's fears can help parents to react with love and understanding in challenging situations. The child's main fears and insecurities are described on 2-3 pages in the full report.VI. Looking toward the future
Many parents wonder about the future of their child. Every child has his own way to develop his potential. What this means for the individual child is described on 2-3 pages in chapter six of the complete Child's Horoscope.
These small samples from different chapters convey an impression of the Child's Horoscope which comprises 18 - 25 pages. It can be ordered as an E-Horoscope or bound booklet in the Astroshop. Please read a complete sample report (of a different person) to get an overview of the extent of the complete horoscope.You may wish to take a look at the large selection of other reports.

Poetry - July, 2010
Kiss of death
Jul 27, 2010
(after an image by photojournalist Gerald Herbert)
That little tragedian, the dragonfly,
wings smeared with earth's black blood,
stands glued to its stem like an orator.
It will never leave this soapbox now.
Just hangs there spread-eagled, a wee-Jesus
on a crucifix of grass. Some undertaker
draped its rainbow in a shroud of pitch,
shined its tar-ball shoes, closed those onyx
eyes for good. It has become an effigy
of itself. It wanted to tell us that it died
for our sins. But its lips are sealed.
This orator without a speech,
ne of the meek, so busy inheriting
the earth, it never noticed the evil tide
bubbling up from earth's slit jugular,
it never saw that drop of gleaming crude
on Judas's lip.
Your side of the bed
Jul 13, 2010
Donna Pucciani
It's time to rotate the mattress.
Your side is well worn
from the gravity of heavy sleep
whereas mine has only the barest
outline, my small frame
pressed into it invisibly—
the tall and the short of us,
the snore and the silence,
the kick and the toss,
the quiet staring into the dark,
blankets and quilts for every season,
the listening for each other's breath
and wondering when sleep
will press the pennies of death
onto eyelids closed for the last time
and then, ever the want of warmth
and the smell of skin, the other's cheek
pillowed inches away.

|Evangline Valeria Aurora
|Zhiden Enack
Zhiden stepped back from the surprise of being hit. When he recovered, a wild look crossed his face, and he flipped through the book, shouting "What's this, summon animals? What kind of wizard has a picture book for his spell book?" He grabbed a handful of pages and tore them out, going to great length to shred them. "I guess you won't be using that again," He added.
All the while he was dodging here and there to avoid the rat. You can have him move wherever you want, he's not really concerned with where he's going so long as the rat stays away.
Will_save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
"Is that the best your measly deity can offer?" he taunts, then as Zhiden shreds those pages of his rotted spellbook, his eyes go wide, his image shifts to that of a horribly burnt corpse and as he wails "Nooooo, I can't fall to such weak...." he fades into nothingness and his final judgment.
@Wood: His distruction also removes the curse.
You win. And no one died -darn it- er, I mean good.
*pant**pant**pant*"Heh, hehe, heeoooooowwwwwwwww. Dem dot hurts."
Gkirkhan looks down at where the missile of arcane energy struck him and sees a welling bruise that's going to leave him black until it heals.
"Everybody hokay?"
Fatigued for the next four rounds.
|Vertielle Siepar
|Zhiden Enack
Hmm, maybe we shouldn't have taken that level up?
Zhiden felt a well of pride that he hadn't experienced before. Sure, he'd helped fight the Lopper, and some of the other undead beasties that had infested this prison, but he had been the one to kill Splatterman, supposedly the worst of the bunch. Maybe that would be enough to earn him some respect from the elf mutt.
Coming out of his reflection, he noticed that the others were already searching for loot. He decided he would join in the fun, but before that he asked no one in particular, "So what do I do with this?" He held up the book, there were pages missing, but apparently it was now perfectly good, uncursed wizard's spellbook, which Zhiden assumed was worth a decent amount of money.
Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
|Vertielle Siepar
|Wood the Wizard
"That was incredible. I didn't get to counter one spell and you destroyed him in no time. The final blow was magic destroyed rather than magic created."
Wood impulsively ruffles Zhiden's hair. "Guess we can sell that book and add to the party treasure. I have copied all the spells I need from it."
"Although he was a powerful opponent, he was a poor tactician--the victim of overconfidence and arrogance. We should learn from his mistakes."
Wood detects magic to help locate any further treasure.
|Zhiden Enack
"Don't sound so dissapointed, every dog has his day." Zhiden said, smiling. He was in a good enough mood that Wood ruffling his hair as though he were a child didn't even bother him. Before he forgot, he added "By the way, what did clearing out the prison have to do with Professor Lorrimor? And why was Splatter Man after that girl that he mentioned? I missed the funeral, so I don't think I got the whole story."
"Dere is some cult ov nekkymancers dot vants to do sometink dot iz bad for de town. De Professor found out so de keeled hem."
Gkirkhan looks around at everyone else before scratching his head where his hat rests.
"Hy tink dot iz right, anyvay."
|Vertielle Siepar
Pretty much, yeah, Vertielle chimes in, her head over the oubliette.
With a few deft movements, she manages to retrieve the longsword with her whip.
Pretty sure the rest of this you can mage hand up, Wood.
Longsword: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Dagger: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
Ring: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
@Vertielle: No. The oubliette is 30' deep. That's THIRTY FEET. You cannot reach anything at the bottom with your whip. Someone is going to have to go get it. Or Mage Hand it out. You can read it wiht sift becasue you can place it near the bottom. But you cannot reach the items there with your whip.
|Vertielle Siepar
Oh bugger, that's deeper than I thought. Very well...
She whistles as she looks down into the hole.
Don't reckon anyone should go down there, she says absently, and draws a length of twine from her pack. Lowering it down to the bottom, she mutters a few words and the twine twitches as if alive. After a moment, she reels up the thin cord, the longsword delicately entangled on one end.
I figure this'd be too heavy to mage hand, but, that wasn't so hard.
Animate Rope.
|Wood the Wizard
|Evangline Valeria Aurora
You stopped by and spoke to her, but no one mentioned giving her the badge.Hm. She wouldn't have been able to ue it properly until the Splatter Man was defeated, anyway.
Assuming that you did pass the badge on to her, you hear her voice. "Thank you. Please come to me. I have a gift for you. Then I can go as well."
You enter the old workroom to find Vesorianna waiting, clutching the warden's badge in her ghostly hands. "Thank you for your help. You have allowed me to free those souls trapped here for so long. I, too, can pass on to Pharasma's judgment. However, my husband's soul is still missing. I will grant you his badge, and it's power, so that you may track down those monsters who did this. If you can, please, find and free him."
She sees the items you are carrying.
"Those were my husband's things." she says, pointing to the items you pulled up from the Splatter Man's oubliette. "Use them as you see fit. If, by chance, they help you find and free him, all the better. May they serve you better than they did him"
She smiles sadly as she starts to fade, the badge dropping from her incorporeal fingers. "Thank you again. Good luck, and my blessings go with you forever."
As she fades, you realize you do know what the items are.
+1 keen longsword
+1 mithril dagger
+1 ring of protection
The badge now glows softly and, you realize, functions now as a rod of lesser ectoplasmic metamagic.
And finally as you reach for the badge, one of the Harrow cards you have been carrying rises from the backpack it's stowed in. You recognise the card as The Uprising. It begins to spin, sending of a spiral of blue-tinged white light that touches all of you before the card vanishes.
Everyone gains a permanent +1 Strength as if you'd leveled up and taken it. This is in addition to any other add you took at level up.
Gkirkhan gives a bow to the lady as she fades, sweeping his hat off and brushing the ground with it with a flourish.
"Ve vill. No vun deserves to be bound in chains after death."
He replaces his hat and looks much more somber than normal.
Well that changes where that point from fourth level is going now. >:)
|Wood the Wizard
|Vertielle Siepar
|Zhiden Enack
"I was thinking the same." Zhiden said, before he added, "So who wants the ring? If no one else wants it, I can take it, and then we can give this back to whoever it belongs to." He pointed at the Ioun stone orbiting his head as he spoke.
He approached Wood offered him three vials of holy water, saying "I don't really like owing people, so take these and we'll call it even, for now."
Unless the GM is willing to let Gkirkhan wear it as a roguishly jaunty earring, you can have it. (all yours unless someone else wants it.)
Gkirkhan looks confused for a moment then his eyes light up at a revelation.
"Oh, right. Ve haff stuff to give bach."
Go ahead and level?
|Evangline Valeria Aurora
You all head back to town, feeling much better. Even the air seems clearer with the curse on the prison lifted.
Kendra greets you as you return to the manor. "You're back! Is everyone all right? What happened?"
Let me know what you want to do in Ravengro. If you want to interact with any of the NPCs go ahead and play it out. Once everyone has caught up and restocked themselves, we'll move on to the next module.
|Vertielle Siepar
Vertielle spends the rest of the requisite month in town researching the whispering way and finishing her book on the necromatic creatures of ustalavic ruins. She intends to sell the manuscript in Lepidstat when she picks up her inheritance, and use that money to fund further research into Varisian scryptology.
For the moment, however, she is most content to relax in town, occassionally having tea with Kendra, or brunch with the local wizard, and a sense of unconcious ease settles back in her demeanor, and she can often be found with ink stains up to her elbows, laughing unapologetically at Gkirkhan's antics.
"De splatterman vent splat. Hehe."
He's bloodied, but nothing so bad as to hurt the swagger in his step.
Gkirkhan spends his time in the bar, which means he starts a few barfights and spends a few nights in jail. He revels with the rest of them singing bawdy tavern songs and drinking the others under the table. When he's not at the local bar, he spends his time getting to the Lovely half-elf that captured his attentions.
That night at dinner, Kendra says to Rova and Zhiden "Please stay for a while longer. Father left a sum of cash, 100 platinum each, in his will for those of his old friends who came, as long as they stayed with me for 30 days after his death. There is a task associated with the bequest. There's a box of books he wanted delivered to two people in Lepidstadt. I would have no objection to including you in the bequest if you chose to stay."
|Zhiden Enack
Zhiden promised to stay. He would have even if there was no money involved, but he didn't say that, because even if he would do it for free, it didn't mean he wouldn't accept payment. He spent his time familiarizing himself with the town, and it's inhabitants, likely asking all sorts of incessant and annoying questions about where his comrades came from, and how they know the Professor, though he always managed to deflect if that last question was asked of him.
As per Rova's suggestion, he asked the blacksmith about altering the dagger they'd found so that he could use it as a shortsword without difficulty.
|Vertielle Siepar
Vertielle contributes 115 platinum, 7 gold, and 5 silver to the party fund from the sale of her longsword.
She suggests the purchase of wands, potions, and scrolls; but it could just as well be used to get a shinier crowbar.
Rova's research into the items shows the following full cost for them:
+1 keen longsword: 8315 g
+1 mithral gladius (refinished dagger:) 555 g (includes 40g to convert)
+1 ring of protection: 2000g
Warden's badge [Rod of ectoplasmic metamagic (lesser]): 3000 g
As you start dividing up the treasure, Serisia (Mama Gkirkhan) will comment "You folks do have an even split rule, don't you? I want to make sure my Gkirky gets his fair share."
She'll check out any items you show her. "You know, I can enchant, and since it looks like you folks have to stay here a while more, I'd be willing to help out. You can pay me up front or -as Gkirkhan's friends- I'll let you pay later. With interest, of course. A gal's got to make a living, after all."
"Mutter, ich habe nichts dagegen immer einen geringeren Anteil. Ich war für einen Tag gegangen, um Sie mit diesen Kobolden in der Speisekammer zu helfen."
Over next month, Gkirkhan is embarrassed, harassed, and smothered by his lovely, but overbearing mother, and you start to see why the half-orc takes more than a little glee in a good fight and tends to drink more than most.
That was great!
|Vertielle Siepar
Anyone gets anything they can use, then we split up the rest of the share however makes sense after that, I guess.
Vertielle gains a pensive disposition.
I never gave it much thought, really. I mean, it's not like we're mercenaries, here.
Kendra looks at all the stuff you've dragged back from Harrowstone at various points. "I'm not even sure there's a call for this stuff here in Ravengro. After all, we barely have 300 people here."
Serisia comments "Maybe I can help with that. You folks all pick the stuff you want...much like our bard here wants that longsword...and give me the rest. In exchange, I'll undertake to enchant items for the group to bring everyone up to a reasonable power level. For example, if you're going to keep chasing ghosts and thses necromancr thugs, someone might want ghost touch. After all, the elf lady isn't the only one who can use that thing."
She looks over Rova. "This big boy might have some problems with it, but I know Gkirkhan can use it. And, from what's been said, he's more a front line fighter than you. And I know many clerics can use them as well."
|Vertielle Siepar
Vertielle's eyes narrow.
Hören Frau, ich kenne deine Absichten sind gut, aber ich kenne dich nicht. Sie wurden nicht von meiner Seite gekämpft haben diese andere. Es ist ein großzügiges Angebot für unsere Produkte im Handel akzeptieren, aber es ist zu überschreiten zu diktieren, was wir mit unserer Beute machen. Sind wir verstehen, gnädige Frau?
Vertielle looks back to the group.
Now, if anyone wants this sword, you're welcome to it, I already have one. But a longsword is on the short list of weapons I'm dangerous with, and there aren't others just laying about.
Kendra speaks up. "This is getting a bit out of hand. I gather you really want that sword, Vertielle. Rova, just what do you want? Also Wood, don't you have to return the ioun stone and the ring of feather fall to the Silk Purse?"
I messed up the math, the actual amount for equal shares per party member is 1319 g 16 s plus a few coppers.
|Vertielle Siepar
After some reasonably amusing math, I've learned it's actually fiscally more efficient to trade the +1 keen longsword to Serisia in exhange for her adding "keen" to my current weapon.
Here's the breakdown:
+1 keen longsword trades for 4157.5
+1 longsword add keen costs enchanter 3,000gp and 6 days.
I'm assuming, however, she is NOT offering to enchant items at cost, rather offering the services OF an enchantress, hiking the cost to 6,000gp.
Wood, when you go over there, see if they'll let go of the Ioun stone for a price. We've got some spare cash, and I'm sure one of you could use the thing.
"Wah do I wan'? Hmm, I wan' adamatine full plate, preffably in a folding format, like the steel set I saw a noble wid. 'm gonna need a large adamatine nodachi, magical o' course. I ALSO don' expect ta get any o' tha' here. Nor do I 'spect it ta fall outta a tree, or turn up in some slug's treasure horde. My life taught me a bunch o' stuff, an' th' one thing I can always fit is I gotta WORK fer wha' I want. An' it ain't workin' iffn I don't get paid. It's charity. So wha' do I want? Wha' we agreed on - an even split o' the cash. I'm gonna hav' ta save up ta get th' stuff I wan'."
Kendra blinks. "Well, you seem to have your goals well thought out. Father mentioned you as a very talented fighter with an unusual history. He also said you were a lot smarter than even you realized."
Serisia nods at Vertielle. "I understand your being annoyed at strangers trying to tell you what to do with your haul. I also know that adventurers can often come up a little short on funds. Hm. How about this. We do the trade as I suggested. Your items for my enchantment services. As a compromise on funds, how about cost plus 10%. So, to bring up your blade to the same status as that one would be 3600g, leaving you with cash for those of the group who want to save for other things. That work better for you?"

If not for the dominant play they got from their pass rush, the New York Giants wouldn't be reigning Super Bowl champions.
The Giants started 7-7, averaging 2.6 sacks per game during those first 14 games. But they won six straight to finish the year, with the final victory coming against New England in Super Bowl XLVI. During that stretch, Big Blue averaged 3.7 sacks per game.
They also didn't have Osi Umenyiora for seven games during the regular season. Without Umenyiora, they still managed to average 2.7 sacks a game, but with him they had 3.1 sacks per outing.
That's why it's surprising that, with Umenyiora and Justin Tuck healthy and Jason Pierre-Paul continuing to be a huge presence, the Giants have just four sacks in two games this season.
Only 12 teams have taken down opposing quarterbacks less often. And the pass rush as a whole, which received a 17.4 rating (seventh in the league) from Pro Football Focus last season, is ranked 18th early on this year by PFF with a minus-1.4 rating.
The problem certainly hasn't been Pierre-Paul, who's rated as the second-best 4-3 defensive end in football by PFF. He only has one sack thus far, but JPP has nine hurries.
Are you worried about the Giants' pass rush?
But Tuck and Umenyiora have been ghosts early on. Neither of those players has hit the quarterback once, and Tuck has yet to register a single hurry. Tuck is ranked dead last among 41 eligible 4-3 ends in terms of pass-rushing productivity, per PFF.
Against the Bucs Sunday, they hit Josh Freeman five times, registered just two sacks and had only eight hurries. From that perspective, it was their worst showing since they were held without a sack against New Orleans in Week 12 last season.
It seemed like all day long Josh Freeman was getting clean pockets like this one, which he enjoyed on a third down on the Bucs' very first drive. I've highlighted Tuck and Umenyiora, who are both being manhandled:
On the next Tampa Bay drive, same deal. Again, Tuck and Umenyiora are highlighted:
And the only sack a defensive end has registered all season came in the second quarter, but it was arguably more of a coverage sack for Jason Pierre-Paul. As you can see below, the Bucs did a good job against a four-man rush, but New York's coverage was fantastic and Freeman's drop was shallow.
Time and again, Tuck was handled easily by a single blocker. Here, he's being dominated by Tampa Bay right tackle Demar Dotson. (Also, Pierre-Paul can't bust through a one-on-one matchup in blue).
Take a look at Freeman's pocket on a 3rd-and-8 early in the third quarter. Umenyiora's in black, Tuck's in blue.
Fourth quarter now. Game on the line and a 3rd-and-7. Freeman has all day.
Usually, though, the offensive line was giving Freeman tons of time, even on blitzes. He simply failed to take advantage, and New York's pass coverage appeared to be much better than it was against Dallas. Corey Webster and Justin Tryon had some issues, but Michael Coe, Rolle and rookie Jayron Hosley held up well.
Even late, when clutch defensive players like these guys usually step up, they let Freeman have far too many opportunities.
Down by seven in the final few minutes, this is what Freeman dealt with on back-to-back snaps:
This is another look at Freeman's sweet pocket, with JPP (red) rolling off a chip and about to hit more obstacles and Umenyiora being locked down in blue.
The question is whether the three-headed monster is simply off to a slow start or if they're beginning to slow in general. JPP's a stud, but he's much less effective when Tuck and Umenyiora are struggling. Those guys are 29 and 30, respectively, and might be beginning to decline.
If that's the case, the Giants will be in big trouble.

Chart of the Day: Public deficits and private savings in the euro zone
In May I wrote a post asking "Why can't people understand national accounting?" and I was heartened that the post seemed to get a lot of traction. Most people don't get it. In fact, I didn't get it until a few years ago.
I asked the question because in this post-crisis world, some people seem to act like cutting budget deficits has no effect on the private sector whatsoever. Or worse, they act like George Osborne does, thinking that confidence fairies will magically fly in to prop up the private sector when deficits get cut and all will be well. It doesn't work that way at all. When the government's balance changes, the balances for businesses and households change too. We need to know how changes in the government's balance will affect the rest of the economy before we go off half-cocked and start talking about cutting deficits.
Here's a chart that gets to what I am driving at. I got it from Warren Mosler who spied it on an Italian finance blog.
Here's what I am seeing: when the government sector runs a deficit, the non-government sector runs a surplus of equivalent size. So, to reduce the government deficit in any period, the private balance and the capital balance must increase by the exact same amount in that period.
What this means in effect is that when you say that you want to reduce government budget deficits, you are automatically saying you want to reduce non-government surpluses. Go ahead and just say it straight out:
The non-government surplus is too large, we need to reduce it now before it gets out of control.
If that's not a statement you feel comfortable making, then you have to look at government deficits in a different way.
My view: Budget deficits are what results ex-post from an accounting identity between the sectoral balances and should not be a primary goal of public policy. What we want to do is target the cause of the deficits, insufficient demand which I believe is the result of the overhang of debt after a period of excess private sector credit growth. What you want to do is eliminate that debt overhang by reducing the debt or increasing private sector incomes to support the debt. That's getting at root causes.
I know I've stripped this down at the risk of being simplistic but I don't want to get into a discussion about how you increase private sector incomes or reduce private debt. I just want to put it out there that that's what you want to do rather than just focusing on the government deficit. Focusing on the deficit is what Europe's doing – and it doesn't work.

This is great. I also read the May thing about about national accounting, very helpful. I can follow the argument about debt overhang causing reduced demand – this is quite consistent with what other people are saying. And it's quite clear that tackling deficits is not working, and seems to be making things worse.
This might be a stupid question but is the upshot of this that cash is being saved/hoarded by business and consumers? That in fact there is both a huge private sector debt (450% of GDP in the UK) and a large pot of savings? Is there data on savings in the UK? (rhetorical – I'll for looking for it)
Would it be right to say, for arguments sake, that if the confidence fairies did fly in and make people more confident that they'd have money to spend if they wanted to?
Hi Jayarava, that is a good question because the private/trade sector is not one monolithic block. What we do know is that in aggregate the private sector is indebted.
If you disaggregated the sectors, you would separate the non-government sectors into four broad categories: household, non-financial business, financial, and external.
My concern is mostly in the household sector because that's where the lion's share of demand and growth comes from. That sector is still very indebted in the UK and the US. So what households in aggregate wish to do is minimise that debt or the associated interest as a percentage of income. They can do that by paying lower interest rates, reducing the stock of debt or increasing income. But i am just speaking in aggregate here – some households are just fine while others are sinking.
The bottom line is that there is no savings to draw from to maintain (excess?) consumption in aggregate if the goal is to reduce debt unless the government runs a larger deficit to accommodate this – and targets that deficit through increased transfers to exactly those folks that will consume more. I think people want to concentrate on getting the debt ratios down as best they can and trying to gin up more consumption stops this from happening.
That's why the focus on jobs instead of gov't deficits makes sense because you attack not just the numerator (the debt) but also the denominator (the income).
Thanks. It does make sense. I don't know economics but I can follow a logical argument and this makes sense to me. So why is no government in the world doing what you say? If that is a question that can be answered…
Two things stand out for me. One is special interests. Politicians want to reward their political money donors with perks and favours. That often means doing things that favour special interests at the expense of the broader economy. The second thing that comes to mind is the process of deficits. Most people see high deficits and think that's a sign of irresponsibility and spending beyond one's means. That will always be the case.
If the confidence fairies did arrive only some would have the capability to spend more, and what is more likely is that they would invest in sectors likely to benefit from such improvements rather than spend more. The best way to get spending to increase is to increase incomes for those at the very bottom of the income distribution as they have a very high marginal propensity to spend. Though that is unlikely with the attacks on the low paid and benefit claimants.
The distribution who has surpluses is not even either. Large corporates are very solvent but smaller businesses are struggling to get credit. Same for individuals. The rich are very solvent but the middle classes are struggling, most only being a paycheque from bankruptcy or close to it. As Edward mentioned the real problem is debt, and many are struggling even with interest rates close to zero, because banks needing to rebuild their capital base have raise rates on loans and debts, so any benefits of low interest rates have gone to the banks not consumers, unless they are on tracker mortgages.
Sorry Edward, however I totally disagree with your
logic. As a Canadian, our Federal
government we went through this process – of paying down debt in 1995 to
2002. As Canadians, we had a housing
bubble bust in 1988, recession from 1990 to 1991 and Federal government debt of
100% of GDP with weak economic performance.
In 1994, we were broke! The
Liberal government, at the time, did the hard work of paying down our national
debt. Taxes increased significantly
(including a national sales tax), inflation was mandated at 2%, and our
currency fell to $0.61 cents to the US dollar.
With an export led economy and private sector spending (yes, demand
picked up as the federal government debt decreased). As a small businessman I
can tell you these were hard times however, look at us now. I believe you will find many other countries
did the same thing. Australia and Sweden
(which had a banking crises) come to mind in the late 1990's.
UK is following this example – I believe
correctly, however Europe is "gumming up" the process. Like your post I had to simplify my response,
however you and your readers would do well by talking to people who have lived
and experienced austerity and ultimately its benefits.
Modelpriceguy, I have seen how austerity works in Canada and elsewhere. To be clear, I never said austerity won't eliminate the deficit. It will that's why people do it. But it will work in a deflationary way. It "doesn't work" if the goal is avoiding recession.
See here:
"People like Hugh Hendry get it. He is not advocating fiscal contraction because he believes it will immediately be expansionary. Instead, he argues there is no policy remedy for debt deflation. Rather than allow the government's debt levels to climb and fill in the missing private sector demand as Richard Koo advocates, Hendry recommends just letting aggregate demand fall and starting anew. That leads to Depression of course. "
But more importantly, your example is too simplistic because the macro environment is different today than in 1990. The UK, Sweden and Finland also experienced the same housing bust and recovery that Canada did. The recovery that Canada and these other nations experienced was aided greatly by a number of factors including a benign global economic backdrop, lower interest rates and in some cases exchange rate depreciation.
In today's environment, with rates already at record lows and the global macro picture very cloudy indeed, austerity can lead to debt deflation. Will it work? It might do in Britain but at great cost.
P.S. In 1994, Canada was not broke. the government prints money. It can never run out:
There are huge differences between Canada and the UK, then and now. When Canada was doing its austerity there was a growing world market and Canada is a major resource exporter which helped. The UK has a trade deficit and while devaluation has helped exports to some extent it has not lead to a fall in the trade deficit. The world economy also had a rare recession and is now slowing again. So the ability of the UK to export its way out of trouble is limited. As a nation we only managed because Financial services brought so much in, but that is becoming a liability as the debtors are struggling to pay back. Austerity in the UK will not work and we are already back in recession with the small government cuts so far.
Well said. Also see this:
It is interesting that they have changed their minds because the circumstances had changed. Rubbish I was against the austerity from the start, now others are slowly coming around to the same conclusion as I have. The only way for the UK to get out of trouble is to create a new green market for wind and energy conservation. This would require deficit spending but employing people is only marginally more expensive than leaving them to fester on the dole queue. The UK also needs significant banking reform and political finance reform. Neither likely with the Tories very dependant on the City for funding.
Also see here for why Canada is not the model here:
That spells it out. Austerity will cut long-term deficits. After all, you are spending less. But the short-term pain could be so overwhelming in getting there that it does more harm than good. You have to look at it case by case. And clearly, the euro zone is the worst example, a small country like Australia might be a better one. Even so, in this macro environment, the results are always going to disappoint.
There has also been talk of whether Greece will achieve its austerity targets. I am beginning to think that any such targets will be unachievable because the Greek economy has been so throughly cratered by austerity that it will be ineffective, so it is no longer a case of unwilling but simply asking the impossible. Greece needs a type of Marshall Plan to rebuild the economy. It also needs time, which it is not being given. The fact that all the pressure is being applied to wage rates will mean that the Greeks will not be able to own homes in their own country as they will simply not have the income to pay the rents or prices demanded. That is becoming true of America, While you can buy a home in Detroit for a dollar there is no work there.
By the way, I was a diplomat at the time this occurred in Canada and a friend of mine worked in Canada as a diplomat and was friends with Chretien's son. I visited Ottawa and got a good look around. I would say I know the situation rather well. And what I have been saying here is that Canada is not a very good model. David does a good job on this as well but here is a link that puts it together well:
I think we both agree austerity alone will NOT
do the job. However, austerity + tax
increases (national sales tax) + inflation + currency devaluation is the proper
response. Europe is trying austerity and
tax increases without inflation and currency devaluation (though its
interesting the Euro hit a new low today) and that's why Europe is such a
mess. The UK at least is doing all four-policy
options, which will work overtime. My
main point is once the national government lays out its plan to eliminate its
deficits over time and is credible the private sector which is hoarding cash
will loosen its' purse strings again over time.
That's the problem for Europe. There can be no devaluation for Spain. (That and an inability to print money means they can run out of money unlike Canada). Sweden and Canada in particular were greatly aided by currency depreciation and as relatively small nations in the global context.
Spain can't depreciate the currency but the euro can depreciate. However, the game of competitive currency depreciation would end in an ugly trade war if major currency areas started to try this. Bottom line: Europe is in a world of hurt that Britain and the US are not.

Research Interests:
Development of Copepods and Related Crustaceans, Patterning of Crustacean Limbs, Taxonomy of Deep-Sea Copepods.
More kinds of arthropods exist today than any other comparable group of animals. An important reason for their success is the marvelous variety of arthropod limbs. Although studies of arthropod development have been carried out for more than 300 years, a basic question about their limbs has gone unasked until recently: how are the limbs patterned during development? Over the last five years, analyses of the comparative morphology of crustacean limb development have begun to reveal information about that question. The protopod of a crustacean limb is patterned distally from the point where the limb joins the body, so that the youngest element of the protopod is always closest to the body. Ramal patterning is more complex; new elements can be added either proximally and distally from a source segment, so that the youngest elements are closest to this patterning center. As a result, determination of homologous segments of a ramus results from a complex analysis and is not a simply a counting exercise; the contemporary application of numerical symbols in a simple, proximodistal progression is a misleading exercise.
Sea water directly above the deep ocean floor is an extremely undersampled habitat. Analyses of this habitat have revealed a wonderful faunal diversity, particularly of calanoid copepods. Almost all of these copepods are new to science. And they are unlike copepods from any other marine habitat. Many of the characters of their morphology have not been observed before, and the states of these characters are evolutionarily derived so that many new genera and families have been established for the new species. The accumulation of myriad kinds of organic matter from primary and secondary production in the water column may account for this faunal diversity, and adaptations to detritivory seems to have played a role in how the fauna of this eternally dark world has been structured.

Intrepid last minute Christmas shoppers who braved Saturday's storms found a scene from Narnia in Douglas's main shopping precinct.
Ice sculptors Darren Jackson and Stephanie Quayle produced the Ice Queen's throne surrounded by trees and a couple of reindeer and the whole creation was in place near the Isle of Man Bank by around 11,30am for passers by to enjoy and photograph.
Town Centre manager Michelle O'Malley said: 'It was really lovely even if the weather did put a bit of a damper on things. But lots of people were still posing for photos sitting on the throne which was big enough for two people.
'So many people stopped and said how nice it was. It just looked amazing. Really good.'
As darkness fell on the shortest day the scene really came to life as the flood lighting produced a magical effect shining through the ice,' Ms O'Malley said.
Stephanie Quayle told the Examiner the scene was produced by fitting blocks of ice together and completing the basic structure in a walk-in freezer. The blocks can then me removed and reassembled in situ where the finishing touches are put using tools ranging from chain saws to chisels and an electric iron which helps to produce a clear glass-like finish.

UFC 147 is in the books. In the coming days, much will be made about the lack of star power contained on the UFC's third offering from Brazil in less than a year—and rightly so. But the Belo Horizonte card was filled with Brazilian prospects for one reason and one reason only: to continue building up a roster of brand-name fighters for the local Brazilian market.
Yes, it's unfortunate that the United States had to pay $50 to see it. But in the end, it was quite nearly worth that $50 just for the main-event rewind between Wanderlei Silva and Rich Franklin, who turned in yet another great performance in a very long series of exciting fights.
With the UFC's latest excursion to Brazil behind us, let's take a look at five potential bouts the UFC should consider coming out of Belo Horizonte.

Feel free to delete this comment after you fix it, but you've got the wrong date on #10– listed as two weeks in the future, which WOULD be quite impressive!
Thanks Foxfier!
Glad to know that we have readers that read every little detail!
Well, that's not fair; Tim Shipe's article was written 1800 years ago! Of course it has more hits than any other!
Was that BC or AD?
Thanks for the catch!
Hey Andy- feel free to pile on my little Leno piece- that is probably my least favorite post- not because I have any problems with it- the Leno show topic just isn't that big of a deal. I had hoped that my recent Church and Health Care idea would have stirred up a lot more discussion leading to more mainstream consideration of a "Catholic third way" for reforming health insurance options- but alas not much movement. Maybe in 1800 more years my Catholic Health Insurance ideas will take off!
Don't give up.
You probably made more people think about the Catholic third way than the Leno piece.
I'm sure it was mostly curiosity due to it being Leno's last show combined with the pro-life theme.
Keep up the great work!
Happy (belated) birthday to this blog. I don't always comment on the articles, (some days I am just too tired to type) but I have found value in the writings of all the TAC bloggers, even though I don't always agree with them. The people I am prone to disagree with make me think, which is a good thing.
A special thanks to Donald for his inspiring series of stories about Catholic military chaplains.
Thank you Donna. Faithful readers like you is why we do this.
I have to thank you all for sucking up my time. I don't have that much of it and try as I might – I can't avoid this site. So I suppose I'm stuck. 🙂
Tito, I know you want me to post a pic but that is beyond my technical capability. I can barely turn a computer on. All I know how to do is type and hit submit. ANd I am not so sure about the typing.
Thanks for putting up with me. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for your many comments.
Dude, don't worry about the pic. If you ever figure that out, your computer genes embedded inside you due to your male gender will kick in and then you'll be in for a world of hurt.
Hopefully your marriage won't suffer (no seriously)!
American Knight: I can't figure out the picture thing either. I once completely wasted a couple of hours trying to put an avatar up on another site and couldn't do it, so to heck with it.
The "computer savvy" part of my brain was completely used up when I learned PowerPoint. There's no room for anything else.
My male techie and competative genes kicked in once with a video game shortly after I got married and my poor wife did not react well to the massive amount of her time I wasted playing over and over and over until I won. I was up all hours of the night. The really bad part is we were at someone else's home.
I have not played video games since even though she allowed me to keep my thumbs 😉
Of course this site isn't helping with the addiction thingy. I guess y'all are doing something right.
I'll keep reading and posting for whatever that's worth but please don't expect this uneducated immigrant to figure out how to upload an avatar. I am afraid if I tried that my marriage may be in jeopardy.
Seriously though, when I stumbled accross this site (I can't even remember what I was looking up but I assume it required a Catholic perspective on something political – which these days is everything, yeah totalitarianism!) I was impressed and only recently discovered that y'all are new to this. Congratulations.

This letter is in reference to the unfair and brutal stabbing death of a young male individual that left an 8-year old without the loving, caring presence of his father.
The disheartening story about lifelong Las Vegas resident Gordy Thatcher and her struggle to maintain and keep her home on Tilden Street is a tale of systematic failure — on the part of social services, the city and private individuals with the best of intentions.
The Public Education Department recently held a public hearing on a rule change that would allow students to choose to opt out of the daily recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance. The opportunity for written public comment will continue through 5 p.m. on July 27, so it's not too late to express your opinion.
Can you imagine having a job that wherever you go, someone is unhappy that you're there?
That would largely define the job of a police. officer. You stop someone for speeding, that person is mad. "Why don't you go after the real criminals?" the speeder asks.
Truth be told, officers often catch the bad guys at seemingly routine traffic stops.
When an officer responds to a domestic violence call, you can be sure someone is upset about his arrival. And trying to bring peace is like bringing the Israelis and Palestinians together.
I recently retired as the WLVMS principal after 32 years in education. Throughout my career, I have found that it takes a community to raise a child. I would like to thank the many individuals and businesses in Las Vegas for helping me make a difference as a teacher and as an administrator.
The Optic gave it a thumbs down (but) I like using the intersection of Grand and University. No, I am not kidding. For years we had traffic lights and it was the worst intersection in town. I had many near misses there because someone was running the light or simply wasn't paying attention. Since it's become a four-way stop, I like using it because it is an experience in human interaction. Everybody is on guard. Everybody pays attention to their surroundings and their place in line. I have yet to see someone being rude or pushy.
Every summer the noise from Harleys and loud cars gets worse. It's too noisy here! It's noise pollution gone wacko!
Warm weather used to be birdies singing and flowers blooming. Now it's an unrelenting onslaught of nerve-wracking explosive noise. I've come to dread the nice weather because I know what's coming.
I would like all those people who use the e-mail for their trash communication to know I am sending my Quarantine Summaries to the Albuquerque FBI office. The Bureau investigates each e-mail sender on that list. So those of you who think their jokes and trash communication are funny, you can expect a knock on your door from an FBI agent.
thumb UP for ... THE FIESTAS. Maybe the rain didn't always cooperate, and perhaps there were controversial moments, but it was still another fun and successful Fiestas de Las Vegas, with plenty of good music and dance and fun for young and old alike.
Congratulations, Fiesta Council, on another job well done.
In a recent letter to the editor, Kathleen Dudley from Ocate cited Farmington as an area devastated by the oil and gas industry. She speculates that Farmington was "most likely" a farming area which is now "vastly industrialized with... (no) sound of roosters crowing, or sight of a herd of sheep, or acequias open, flooding fields of alfalfa."
I am puzzled and can only conclude that we see what we want to see. The last time I was in Farmington, I saw all the above (though I didn't hear a rooster crow).
I picked up your July 6-7 issue of the Optic and was upset by the use of the word "jihad" in (David Giuliani's column) "It's hard to say no to a boss."
In recent years the media has used the term jihad to push anti-Islamic sentiment. When used in the context printed in the article, it undermines the progress being made by Muslims, to mend the differences of between the various faiths.
The SynergyFest committee wishes to thank the many businesses, organizations and individuals who helped to make this year's fest a success. The fest drew over 500 attendees who talked with our exhibitors, attended workshops, and listened to music. The Sunshine Kids Village, sponsored by Amigos de Rio Gallinas School offered children's games, crafts and other activities.
Las Vegas City Schools Superintendent Rick Romero faces a misdemeanor charge of failure to report child abuse or neglect to law enforcement authorities, as do Athletic Director Mike Yara, former football coach Ray Woods and two former assistant coaches.
The district attorney's office alleges that these men failed to notify authorities about allegations that football players sodomized their teammates with broomsticks during a football camp last year.
In another matter pending before the district, we don't think high school teacher and coach Jay Quintana should be allowed back into the classroom — not as long as there are legal questions pending about his behavior with students. So far, no criminal charges have been filed against Quintana, but an outstanding tort claim alleges that he had sex, repeatedly and over several years, with a student.
As long as such a serious issue remains unresolved, parents would be understandably outraged if he were allowed back into the classroom with their children.
During the Punic Wars, my high school girlfriend and I went steady by telephone. A house full of teenagers placed demands on our phone, so my slot had to be early in the evening, lest I interfere with my three sisters' more important calls.
One time, after having been on the line for an ungodly amount of time — six minutes — I mentioned something in Mad Magazine.
At the behest of a small group of concerned citizens (including the publisher of this newspaper), a Highlands University class took on a divisive local issue, conducted a survey, and produced evidence that, well, maybe the issue isn't as divisive as one might think.
In doing so, the professor and her class may just have given Las Vegas what it needs to honestly confront the issue.
It has been nearly six months since Jan. 15, since our son Mikey has been gone. His dreams were shattered when his young life came to an abrupt end and our hearts were broken, but today we remember how strong our faith in God is and in his promises to us, and we know that Michael is in Heaven and that he is watching over all of us, his friends and relatives, and his fellow residents of Las Vegas, for he was a "Vegas boy."
Please tell the readership of the Optic that shopping at home saves the consumer dollars and keeps local businesses in business.
We are currently building a home near Sapello and needed more building supplies. I received quotes from local suppliers and those in Santa Fe. A Las Vegas supplier came in lower. Is there any doubt where we will shop? Time, gas and dollars saved staying at home.
Having been a merchant in a small town located near a city, I know the value of shopping locally and supporting the local merchants.

If people want to get issues before the Las Vegas City Council, they have to meet a city deadline for their requests — 5 p.m. the Monday the week before a council meeting.
That doesn't always happen. As a result, the no-exceptions policy sometimes results in, well, exceptions. And that creates some confusion at times.
Councilman Morris Madrid has a solution: The city manager should enforce the deadline for everyone, including the mayor and City Council.
Question: Do we want Mora to remain "agricultural" with our scarce precious water protected or "industrial" with water gone or polluted?
We are now on the brink of a disastrous takeover by Corporate America reminiscent of the land grant takeovers of old.
Some recent examples of happenings elsewhere:

John Coltrane's Giant Steps; written and illus. by Chris Raschka.
Jackson/Atheneum, 2002 34p
ISBN 0-689-84598-7 $17.00 6-10 yrs
Can a temporal art be captured in a two-dimensional medium? Would elementary-school-age kids remotely care? Raschka's third literary foray into jazz, a whimsical performance of the John Coltrane title piece, answers respectively with an "Amazingly well" and a resounding "Yes." Here he funnels the playful experimentation that marked his earlier efforts (Charlie Parker Played Be Bop, BCCB 12/92, and Mysterious Thelonius, 10/97) into a lively opus that is at once artily provocative and solidly kid-friendly.
"Good evening. And thank you for coming to our book." With a tacit wink, Maestro Raschka invites children to take a giant step out of their traditional picture-book role of viewer/listener and into the role of audience, and he straight away whets their appetites with the promise of a "marvelous and tricky composition." Oddly assorted players—box, raindrop, snowflake, and kitten—take the stage and do a bit of limbering up, and the silent music begins. A tempo-setting raindrop pulses across a double spread, shifting from positive to negative images in cool blues. It's joined by "sound foundation" box, overlaying the raindrop and morphing between peach and yellow. Harmony snowflake ("taking the piano part tonight") tumbles her lavender self into the increasingly complex translucent stratum. And here comes Coltrane's own saxophone kitten ("the melody on top of everything") striding across her colleagues, a pert and confident streak of inky black. Well, perhaps a bit overconfident. Even pros have their off moments, and as kitten lopes along in "BIG, BIG STEPS," the players tangle and collapse in a humiliating heap: "People, people! What happened? . . . [R]aindrops, you were rushing on page 19. . . . Snowflake. . . . What I want to see is rich color but not muddy color. Remember. Coltrane's music is dense but transparent." They take it again from page 14, and this effort is flawless: "Sheets of color. Sheets of sound."
Wherever a child is situated along the humor continuum, there's bound to be something here to please. First, there's the perennial allure of seeing the experts—even in improbable guise—get it wrong, and Raschka's diagrammed analysis of the failure, with arrows and circles in fiery editorial red, is a hoot. Those who favor slapstick will, of course, glom onto the grand debacle, with box and raindrop in a discouraged slump, snowflake literally coming to pieces, and droopy-whiskered kitten flat on her back like a dead cockroach. Older members of the audience, savvy to conductors' stereotypical perfectionism and fits of pique, will chuckle knowingly at Raschka's exasperated kvetching.
Churning just beneath this pleasingly goofy, deceptively simple storyline, though, is a dead-on examination of what makes Trane, Trane. Lecturing his errant musicians, Raschka casts Coltrane's performance and compositional benchmarks in child-accessible terms: "No matter how fast he's going, he always sounds relaxed"; "But can you [box] be strong yet light?"; "He blew a fountain of notes, a shower of notes, but those notes made lines that were dynamic and strong and vivid." It's the pictures, though, that make the truly daring media leap from the otic to the optic shore. Watercolor is an ideal vehicle for conveying the complexity of the Coltrane sound, and translucent colors that first slosh together in awkward disarray later meld delicately into the harmony of the final take, tacitly directing novice jazz listeners to "watch" for the logical thread within the dense knot of sound. There's a powerful, if implicit message here: jazz is no cacophonous free-for-all, but an intricate, disciplined musical form.
The real success of Raschka's performance will, in the end, be measured by whether kids ask to hear "Giant Steps," or better still, lots of Coltrane tunes. Fire up the AV equipment and put the Trane's CDs on red alert, because the smart money says they will be asking.

It's been almost two years to the day since I visited Pandemic Studios to preview a then unannounced third-person stealth action shooter called Saboteur. But while a lot has changed since then -- including Pandemic becoming a part of the EA family, and the slight changing of the game's name to The Saboteur -- not much seems to have changed with the game itself, or Pandemic's plan for it, as we learned when we saw the game at a recent EA event.
In it, you play as a race car driver who gets himself involved in the Paris resistance during WWII. In fact, your character is actually based on a real person: William Grover-Williams, a British race car driver living in France who was recruited by the SOE to lead part of The French Resistance.
As a result, you won't just be doing plenty of killin' and sneakin' around, you'll also do a bit of drivin', which the Pandemic guys illustrated by showing us the not-so-leisurely drive you take to Paris at the beginning of the game. But even with this, and the game's open world Parisian setting, the game doesn't look as much like it's Mercenaries-esque as much as it does Assassin's Creed-ish. That's because your character isn't just good at drivin', sneakin', and shootin', he's also freakishly good at climbin'. You can climb any surface, so long as there's something for you to grab on to. And there's plenty to grab onto in Paris.
What separates The Saboteur from Mercenaries, Assassin's Creed, and other open world action games, though, is the visuals. Specifically, the use of color. Because of the occupation, all of Paris is originally shown in stark black & white, with only select areas of color, such as the red in a Nazi flag or the glowing yellow where a light is on inside a house. As you help the resistance, and as the resistance gains strength in an area and the people grow more, well, resistant to the Germans, more color is brought in. During the demo, for example, we were shown one area that was fully colored, while off in the distance there were buildings that were still largely black and white. In fact, the colored areas aren't just realistically hued, but are instead a big exaggerated. almost glowing, kind of like that movie Amélie, which provides a stark contrast to the game's initial Sin City-esque look.
The Pandemic guys also showed off the combat in the game, which seems to have shifted the game from being more of a Splinter Cell-ish stealth game — though stealth is still important — to a third-person shooter with cover, though one that's not as cover-centric as Gears Of War. In the section they demoed for us, for example, they first snuck up behind a couple of guys, but when it became obvious that wouldn't work anymore, they grabbed a machine gun and started mowing them down, while occasionally ducking behind a crate for safety.
Sadly, ours was just a brief look at the game, but it was long enough to renew our interest. And while Pandemic are looking to release the game before the end of the year, we'll just be glad if we don't have to wait two more years for it.

Bronx —
Tucked into the parking lot of the New Fulton Fish Market in Hunts Point is the city's only wholesale farmers market — and now it's getting a boost from a $296,000 grant to the Council on the Environment of New York City, which runs farmers markets in all five boroughs.
The council will manage the market, which moved this year from its long-time location near Yankee Stadium, as its latest Greenmarket. All 50 others are retail markets.

Douzinas, Costas (2007) Law, history and forgetting. In: Stephanides, Stephanos (ed.) Cultures of Memory/Memories of Culture. Nicosia, Cyprus: University of Nicosia Press in collaboration with the School of Humanities, University of Cyprus. ISBN 978-9963-8758-2-5.Full text not available from this repository.
Cultures of Memory / Memories of Culture Edited by Stephanos Stepanides Assistant Editors: Antonis Balasopoulos and Nephie Christodoulidou Cultures of Memory \ Memories of Culture is an interdisciplinary approach to Memory Studies. Beginning with the premise that culture and memory are coterminous, the collection of essays by scholars from around the world articulates perspectives on the complexities of this inter-relationship. They highlight how memory is situated in time and place, in historical and social experience, in unconscious fantasies and in the personal, and how it is articulated in modes of artistic and cultural expression, in legal and political systems. A section of the book brings together reflections of memory in prose and poetry by Cypriot creative writers.
