I am interested about the use of depth of field in this image. the way the tennis racket and the background is out of focus make the photograph much more interesting aesthetically.

So, hearing the hype of this place, I decided to pop in last night. Started with the Arrugula and Mustard soup, which was actually a potato based soup similar to Potato leek.. interesting flavor, but not very good. My wife had the Salmon tartare with radishes and pickled sea beans, the salmon was from the belly, which made it to fatty, but what was so depressing, is that the fish had to be several days old because it you could smell it... I had the smoked salmon which was not very good as well... now why these 2 apps.... The only other options were.. caesar salad, goat cheese salad, escargot......a few other items that didnt sound very interesting;;;
as entrees, My wife got the filet crusted in goat cheese.. over cooked, with under cooked potatoes, I had the 10z ribeye pepper crusted ribeye, which would of been be great if in wasnt sitting in a plate of sauce, and if it had peppercorns that were present. came with a potato gratin which was tasty.
all in all a very disappointing meal......

P.T. Barnum by A. H. Saxon
Book DescriptionI believe hugely in advertising and blowing my own trumpet, beating the gongs, drums, to attract attention to a show, Phineas Taylor Barnum wrote to a publisher in 1860. "I don't believe in 'duping the public,' but I believe in first attracting and then pleasing them." The name P.T. Barnum is virtually synonymous with the fine art of self-advertisement and the apocryphal statement, "There's a sucker born every minute." Nearly a century after his death, Barnum remains one of America's most celebrated figures. In the Selected Letters of P.T. Barnum, A.H. Saxon brings together more than 300 letters written by the self-styled "Prince of Humbugs." Here we see him, opinionated and exuberant, with only the rarest flashes of introspection and self-doubt, haggling with business partners, blustering over politics, and attempting to get such friends as Mark Twain to endorse his latest schemes. Always the king of showmen, Barnum considered himself a museum man first and was forever on the lookout for "curiosities," whether animate or inanimate. His early career included such outright frauds as Joice Heth, the "161-year-old nurse of George Washington," and the Fejee Mermaid-the desiccated head and torso of a monkey sewn to the body of a fish. Although in later years he projected a more solid, respectable image-managing the irreproachable "legitimate" attraction Jenny Lind, becoming a leading light in the temperance crusade, founding the Barnum & Bailey Circus-much of his daily existence continued to be unabashedly devoted to manipulating public opinion so as to acquire for himself and his enterprises what he delightedly termed "notoriety." His famous autobiography, The Life of P.T. Barnum, which he regularly augmented during the last quarter century of his life, was itself a masterpiece of self-promotion. "Will you have the kindness to announce that I am writing my life & that fifty-seven different publishers have applied for the chance of publishing it," he wrote to a newspaper editor, adding, "Such is the fact-and if it wasn't, why still it ain't a bad announcement." The Selected Letters of P.T. Barnum captures the magic of this consummate showman's life, truly his own "greatest show on earth."

No-Fault Divorce Led to Confusion about Marriage
This article caught my eye – a movement to change no-fault divorce laws. We began tinkering with traditional marriage decades ago, and some of the force behind the case for same-sex marriage is drawn from ideas introduced to make divorce easier in the 60s. One of the key ideas: Marriage is about love.
Totally Dedicated to Science and Religion
Einstein said of Michael Faraday "that he, of all people, had made the greatest change in our conception of reality." He was one of the most famous scientists of his time.
Welcome to the Kingdom. Now What?
C. Michael Patton from Reclaiming the Mind and Credo House has written a great little book to help new believers become disciples – Now That I'm a Christian: What It Means to Follow Jesus. I say "little" book not to demean it or even because it's that much briefer than other books, but because it's not intimidating.
Bart Ehrman's Latest Book – How Jesus Became God
I realized something about Bart Ehrman's books reading his latest, How Jesus Became God. Most of his books are the same premise applied to different topics. Ehrman's fundamental premise is that the New Testament documents, and most critically the Gospels, were written late, long after the eyewitnesses were gone. He thinks that they record oral tradition that changed over time before being committed to writing. So we have no authoritative or reliable record of Jesus.
Dr. Rambo
Victor Rambo spent his career restoring sight to the blind in India, physically and spiritually. He was born to missionary parents, studied medicine in the U.S., and returned to India for the rest of his career. He trained students and developed mobile eye clinics that would go to the villages to help prevent blindness and restore sight. His success rate was comparable to that in the U.S. at the time. He told his patients before treatment that they were being healed in the name of Jesus.
Student Worldview Training
Summit Ministries has been equipping Christian students to think more deeply and robustly about their Christian convictions, preparing them for the challenges they'll face as they leave home and enter the university and the secular world. STR's speakers have been part of that training for years, along with many other outstanding Christian teachers like Scott Klusendorf, Frank Beckwith, J.P. Moreland.
Heaven Is for Real
The movie based on the book releases this week. Since this child's account of his near death experience is consistent with Christianity, it may be tempting for Christians to find this story encouraging. But we've got to be careful accepting people's experiences as confirmation of the truth of Christianity. People of other faiths and no faith have near death experiences that are quite different and supposedly teach us things that are inconsistent with Christianity. So if you take some experiences as reliable testimony, how do you counter the others?
Jesus' Wife Fragment
In the fall of 2012, Harvard historian Karen King announced she'd been given a fragment of a manuscript that mentioned Jesus' wife. It's in the news again because studies have indicated it's not a modern forgery. But whether or not it was a forgery isn't the main issue. The date of the manuscript is what's relevant, and even in 2012 when the announcement was made, it was considered to be a few centuries after Jesus – and long after the New Testament documents were written. So it presented no authoritative rival to those documents about Jesus.
Restoring People: The Leprosy Doctor
Paul Brand was born to missionary parents in India. He became a surgeon in England and returned to India to care for leprosy patients. Dr. Brand's insight was that the damage to patients' limbs was not due to the disease, but injury that they never felt beause the disease dulled their nerves. He established the New Life Center in India, which was a village setting for leprosy patients. "This [kind of residential setting] helped dispel the stigma that was so prevalent even among medical professionals.
The Angel of Prisons
Elizabeth Fry was a British Quaker Christian who led the movement for prison reform in the 19th century. She was also the driving force behind reform legislation.

New homesites just released! Quiet coves and big-water views for miles
Our family-owned community is set among more than 40,000 acres of water, nearly 900 miles of shoreline, and 25,000 acres of forests – and made for those who love the outdoors and making unforgettable memories.
By Robert Gunn, Race Director I had a chance this past weekend to get out and walk most of the Russell Forest Run 10K course. It had been a couple of years since I had actually taken the time to walk through a part of God's country, admire the gorgeous scenery—yes, even in winter it is a wonderful place to walk or run—listen to the birds chirp, and hear the small creeks as they murmured nearby. So, what does this have to do with the Russell Forest Run?
Available properties "drying up" There is only one property per four miles of shoreline. That is how many waterfront homes and condos were for sale at the beginning of January 2017. Lake Martin has 880 miles of shoreline and there were only 189 "for sale" properties on the market. The number of available lake homes and condos are literally few and far between.
Russell Marine was one of the largest exhibitors at the 46th Annual Birmingham Boat Show at the BJCC January 19–22. The show attracted more than 20,000 boating enthusiasts from the surrounding lakes, such as Logan Martin, Smith Lake, Lake Guntersville, and our very own Lake Martin.
If you're like many of us, you might be tired of winter's chill and bundle up to keep it out. Somehow, the critters in the Russell Forest seem unaffected, yet they wear the same "clothes" year round. How in the heck do they stay warm? Well, this month you can find out as Naturalist Marianne Hudson explores exactly that.

The story is about a loveable rascal that has just flown in from Planet Tickle. His mission is to tickle any child who happens to follow along in this book. Parents read aloud and do the tickling, while children squirm with delight.

His early scientific work was mainly in the theory of atoms, of the solid state, and of atomic collisions. Later he concentrated on nuclear physics. His explanation of stellar energy grew out of his work in nuclear theory. Recently, he has worked on neutron stars and supernova stars. Roman Jackiw has been professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology since 1969, after spending three years as a Junior Fellow with Harvard University's Society of Fellows. His primary research area is theoretical physics and he has contributed to particle, condensed matter, and gravitational physics. Recently he received the Dannie Heineman Prize for mathematical physics from the American Physical Society and the American Institute of Physics.

U.S. Postal Service:
Progress Made in Implementing Mail Processing Realignment Efforts, but Better Integration and Performance Measurement Still Needed
GAO-07-1083T: Published: Jul 26, 2007. Publicly Released: Jul 26, 2007.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-6570
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
GAO reported in 2005 on major changes in the mailing industry that have reinforced the need for the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to reduce costs and increase efficiency. To address these changes and become more efficient, USPS is implementing initiatives aimed at realigning its mail processing network. In a follow-up review, GAO recently reported that USPS has made progress in implementing these initiatives, yet challenges such as maintaining delivery standards and addressing stakeholder and community resistance remain. In July 2006, GAO also reported on USPS's progress in improving delivery performance information. This testimony describes (1) the changes that have affected USPS's processing network, (2) GAO's concerns related to USPS's strategy for realigning its mail processing network and implementing its area mail processing consolidations, and (3) GAO's concerns related to USPS's progress in improving delivery performance information. This testimony is based on prior GAO reports.
Several major changes have affected USPS's mail processing operations, including marketplace changes, declining First-Class Mail volume, increased competition, increased mail processing by mailers, automated operations, and population shifts. These changes have led to excess capacity in USPS's mail processing network and variations in productivity among plants. GAO's 2005 report concluded that USPS's strategy for realigning its mail processing network lacked clarity, sufficient transparency and accountability, excluded stakeholder input, and lacked performance measures for results. Since then, USPS has developed several initiatives that are at varying stages of development to address these issues and major changes with an overall goal of reducing costs while maintaining service. In 2007, GAO reported that while USPS has made progress in implementing its realignment initiatives, (1) USPS still did not have answers to important questions about how it intended to realign its network, (2) it remains unclear how various USPS initiatives are individually and collectively contributing to achieving its goals, and (3) the area mail processing (AMP) consolidation initiative, to which USPS attributes most of its progress in reducing excess machine capacity, still presents significant issues. These issues include unclear criteria used in selecting potential AMP consolidations, inconsistent data calculations, limited measures of the effects of changes on delivery performance, and a lack of appropriate stakeholder and public input. USPS is developing new policies to address some of these issues. Nevertheless, questions about USPS's selection criteria continue as USPS has decided not to implement 34 of the 57 potential AMP consolidations it considered in 2005 and 2006. With limited data on the effects of changes, USPS cannot consider actual delivery performance in making consolidation decisions or in evaluating results. GAO reported in 2006 that USPS does not measure and report its delivery performance for most types of mail and that its progress to improve delivery performance information has been slow and inadequate despite numerous USPS and mailer efforts. Postal reform legislation enacted in December 2006 requires USPS to submit a plan to Congress describing its strategy, criteria, and processes for realigning its network and provide performance measures for most types of mail. USPS is preparing its response to these requirements.

FX's newest original comedy series, Archer, which was just renewed for a second season, will have a two-hour marathon airing on Thursday, February 25, from 10pm to 12 Midnight ET/PT on FX.
The four episodes that will air back-to-back are as follows:
10:00 PM - "Diversity Hire" - A new field agent makes a splash at ISIS, but Archer and Lana suspect there may be something all too perfect about their new diversity hire. Written by Adam Reed. Voiceovers directed by Adam Reed.
10:30 PM - "Honeypot" - Malory's career is threatened when a sensitive videotape falls into the hands of a rogue (and roguish) Cuban agent, so she calls onArcher's expertise in seduction to turn the tables on her blackmailer. Special guest voices include Ron Perlman (Sons of Anarchy, Hellboy) as "Ramon Limon" and Thomas Lennon (Reno 911!) as "Charles." Written by Adam Reed & Tony Carbone. Voiceovers directed by Adam Reed.
11:00 PM - "Mole Hunt" - Archer goes to great lengths to cover up discrepancies in his ISIS expense account as he attempts to access the agency's mainframe computer. Cyril and Lana's Friday night dinner date is interrupted by work. Written by Adam Reed. Voiceovers directed by Adam Reed.
11:30 PM - "Training Day" - Lana's residual lust for Archer prompts Malory to promote Cyril to field agent. Archer then trains his new competition as only he can, whilst Malory frets over her own past and her son's future. Written by Adam Reed. Voiceovers directed by Adam Reed.
Archer Synopsis: Archer is an animated, half-hour comedy set at the International Secret Intelligence Service (ISIS), a spy agency where espionage and global crises are merely opportunities for its highly trained employees to confuse, undermine, betray and royally screw each other. The series features the voices of H. Jon Benjamin as suave master spy "SterlingArcher," whose less-than-masculine code name is "Duchess;" Jessica Walter as his domineering mother and boss, "Malory Archer ;" Aisha Tyler as his ex-girlfriend and current co-worker, "Agent Lana Kane;" George Coe as his aging-but-loyal butler, "Woodhouse;" Chris Parnell as ISIS comptroller and Lana's new love interest, "Cyril Figgis;" Judy Greer as Malory's lovesick secretary, "Cheryl;" and Amber Nash as "Pam," the director of human resources for ISIS.

Working with doctors in a hospital, clinic or other medical environment is the career path most people associate with the position of registered nurse. While this role has been around for a long time, modern registered nurses can also choose from a wide range of non-traditional career path opportunities. Some of these opportunities offer the ability to work from home or pursue entrepreneurial endeavors.
Customer Service
Many insurance companies hire registered nurses to work at home as telephone customer service representatives. These registered nurses may provide basic telephone triage to help direct customers to the best health care option, provide help with selecting a medical specialist or provide medical screening or coverage pre-qualification for emergency room visits or medical procedures. They may also help explain medical terms or definitions found in medical insurance policies.
Legal Consulting
Registered nurses can work at home as medical consultants for lawyers, legal assistants or researchers. Extensive medical knowledge can be helpful with evaluating legal testimony or documents to be presented at trail, used in a lawsuit or utilized as support documentation for insurance settlements or performance evaluations. Registered nurses with a specialized background, such as surgery or emergency room experience, can be in high demand.
Freelance Medical Writer
A registered nurse can find work at home as a freelance medical writer, journalist or editor. Opportunities for on-line bloggers or contributors have become more popular as consumer medical content on the Internet has expanded. Editing or proof-reading television or movie scripts, stage plays or other works of fiction to determine the authenticity of medical terminology, techniques or procedures can also provide a work-at-home opportunity for registered nurses.
Medical Transcription
The field of medical transcription can offer registered nurses an unique work-at-home opportunity. Medical transcriptionists convert a doctor's verbal medical records into text format for archival purposes. Medical transcription requires a good working knowledge of medical terms, procedures and general medical knowledge. Transcriptionists are typically paid by the word and can often determine their own work schedules. Hiring bonuses or an increased per-word payment level is often available for registered nurses who are multi-lingual or who have experience or knowledge of specialized fields of medicine.

Over the last two decades, a new type of song has emerged. Today's hits bristle with "hooks", musical burrs designed to snag your ear every seven seconds. Painstakingly crafted to tweak the brain's delight in melody, rhythm, and repetition, these songs are industrial-strength products made for malls, casinos, the gym, and the Super Bowl halftime show. The tracks are so catchy and so potent that you can't not listen to them.
Traveling from New York to Los Angeles, Stockholm to Korea, John Seabrook visits specialized teams composing songs in digital labs with novel techniques, and he traces the growth of these contagious hits from their origins in early '90s Sweden to their ubiquity on today's charts. Featuring the stories of artists like Katy Perry, Britney Spears, and Rihanna as well as expert songsmiths like Max Martin, Ester Dean, and Dr. Luke, The Song Machine will change the way you listen to music.
©2015 John Seabrook. Recorded by arrangement with W.W. Norton & Company, Inc. (P)2015 HighBridge, a division of Recorded Books
"This is a fascinating tale about an amazing phenomenon: how hits get made. John Seabrook combines a love of music and an appreciation for personalities to take us on a starry journey from Stockholm and London to New York and Orlando showing how creativity gets discovered, polished, and packaged. His book is a triumph of great writing and reporting, and the lessons reverberate far beyond the world of music." (Walter Isaacson, author of The Innovators and Steve Jobs)
"Beneath the surface of today's pop music lies an industrial process as rigorous and bizarre as the one perfected by McDonald's. Seabrook shows what it takes to make a hit in a book that's beautifully written, revelatory, funny, and full of almost unbelievable details." (Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation and Command and Control)
"Anyone who wants to understand how the clash of cultures has shaped what we listen to should read this important book. John Seabrook has a marvelous ear for language - and perfect pitch when it comes to music journalism." (Bob Spitz, author of The Beatles: The Biography)
just one more book lover
"Want your music canned or in a box?"
This is a lively history of pop music since 1989. If you think Katy Perry is great or you hate the Backstreet Boys, you will find out why in this book.
Or so the featured music producers like Denniz PoP and Max Martin would like you to think. This is a story about that segment of pop music where the artist is usually a pretty girl or boy whose sound and look are a creation of the producer and his team.
This is a story about songwriting simplified to a formula, where words are units of melody and melody is married to the beat.
The writer looks at sound factories in Sweden, America and Korea. He follows the careers of the major Svengali producers and the acts whose hits they have manufactured, including Kelly Clarkson (who fought against the constraints), Rihanna, Britney Spears, the Backstreet Boys, Katy Perry and a more recent Taylor Swift.
Spotify, the streaming music company, also gets a chapter.
You might become cynical about the music industry after this. You might get inspiration for your Ableton compositions. You might run out to see a real loose garage band or singer-songwriter just to prove to yourself that other kinds of music are out there.
But you won't look at today's music hits the same after reading this book.
Best book on the music indistry ever. It was so interesting to hear how stars are made and I will probably even reread this future.
The author did an amazing job of creating a timeline of music taste-makers over the past 2 decades. As a songwriter myself, it was inspiring to get a glimpse into the studio sessions of Max Martin, Ester Dean and Stargate, to name a few. I would recommend this book to anyone who aspires to be in the business of making music or anyone who is just curious about how one man, Max Martin, has continued to lead the industry in production and songwriting for TWO decades.
"Engaging and packed full of fun facts!"
Dion Graham reads this perfectly, with just enough change in his voice to give character to the many personalities in the book.
I learned a lot about the pop songs that have shaped my generation and had fun doing it!
"Rare Combo of Fun, Fascinating & Elucidating"
Yes and No
Yes: I don't have time to read every book, and this was a well-read book with a coherent narrative that was chronological. So it was a solid listening choice.
No: There is no information from the footnotes or acknowledgements which is particularly key for narrative non-fiction.
Gods & Kings (on audible, which I read in print) about fashion. It's an enjoyable read but also academically underpinned in a subject that so often is over "fluffed".
Enthusiasm. And--also underrated--tone. Serious when it needs to be, sly or fun when the occasion called for it.
Plot twists--where someone "irrelevant" showed up again as a significant figure.
"Entertaining & enlightening"
An entertaining and enlightening look at the making of popular music. One can hardly call it "composing", rather picking and choosing pre-fabricated tracks, auto-tuning a singer's voice and synthesizing random sounds. Oh, yeah, and a woman standing in a booth reading words from her phone to help write the lyrics.
The narrator does a nice job of reading the text, with an occasional foray almost singing the lyrics.
"very ingesting"
it was good. learned a lot about the music industry that i didn't know. great performance and an easy thing to listen to.
Musique Composer
"A Glimpse Behind The Curtain"
I really enjoyed the audio better than the print
Actually what I found it hilarious was the last page. Can't say too much because I don't want to spoil it, but all I can say is: sweet irony.
I really enjoyed it because it is like a mentor that tell you his life stories and point of view.
It will not tell you how to succeed in the field but it will give you a glimpse of the way the industry is run.
"One of the most inspirational books on the music business"
The jewels of this book are in the details of the background stories of such hit makers as Dennis Pop, Dr. Luke, and Max Martin.

The cold wind of public disapproval appeared to have touched the hearts of Britain's wealthiest bankers yesterday when the chairman of the Royal Bank of Scotland agreed to go without his £1.6m bonus.
Stephen Hester's friends were quick to say that the RBS chief executive had every right to expect to be rewarded for his work in turning the bank around, after being hired in November 2008 to sort out the mess left behind by the previous board. He had renounced his bonus only to avoid the risk of the bank being embroiled in political controversy again.
"This is all about de-politicisation," one said. "He is aware of the public's feelings about banks and felt that to increase the hostility towards RBS would be counter-productive."
A series of treasury interventions which saved RBS from bankruptcy means that the Government now owns about 84 per cent of the bank, which is still making heavy losses. Its next set of results, which will be posted on Thursday, are expected to show a shortfall of about £5bn.
Even without the bonus, Mr Hester, his wife, and two children, who live on a 350-acre estate in Oxfordshire and have a Swiss chalet, will not be short of readies. Mr Hester had already made what most people would regard as a hefty fortune before he moved to RBS from Abbey National.
He has said that he asked only for the "going rate" to take on the new job. That turned out to be a basic pay of £1.2m a year, and a deal which will earn him £9.7m in three years if he can push up the bank's share price sufficiently.
Mr Hester is the son of academics whose combined salary is about a tenth of what he now receives without the bonus. His father is a chemistry professor and his mother a former doctor of psychology. Appearing before a Commons committee last month, Mr Hester admitted: "If you ask my mother and father about my pay they'd say it was too high."
The announcement that he was excluding himself from the bonus pot yesterday came just hours after a public warning from the Business Secretary, Lord Mandelson, that it would go down badly with the Government if he awarded himself one.
Lord Mandelson said on BBC1's Andrew Marr Show: "I would say to RBS ... and to their chief executive, Stephen Hester, who is a rather strong and rather able man but whose performance and delivery has not yet been tested: 'if further down the line in years to come he has done well and he has turned round RBS, he deserves something back for it, and I would be the first to say so, but not now.'
"What we have said to them is that their priority is repairing their balance sheets and getting their capital back in place and lending again fully. The bonus pool they have indicated is very much at the lower end of the banks."
Mr Hester's sacrifice follows a similar decision last week, when Barclays' chief executive, John Varley, and president, Bob Diamond, announced they were forgoing their bonuses for the second year in a row in an attempt to pacify clients and shareholders hit by the recession.

Seed Treatments are an excellent example of how the seed industry and crop protection industry are innovating for the future of modern agriculture. The ItalyNon-Chemical seed treatment market was worth around $1.8million in 2015 and is expected to cross $2.8 million by 2020 growing at the CAGR of 9% during the forecast period 2015-2020.
The regulatory uncertainty of the product approvals and doubts regarding their efficacy and environmental concerns arising from the usage of chemical products has hampered the growth of these products across the world. The organic methods of farming and GM crops are seen as threat to the seed treatment market. Also with growing demand for biological treatment are seen as threat to chemical seed treatment.
Demand for hybrid seeds is also on the rise, more in Europe, since they lend themselves better to seed treatment methods. This creates greater opportunity for either including or offering seed treatment as an effective option for controlling pathogens and pests.
Within this application category, Physical methods constitute the largest sub-category of Non-chemical seed treatment demand. However, Biological seed treatments are slated to witness the fastest CAGR during 2015-2020 in reaching a projected demand by 2020.
Corn/maize is the leading type of crop for Non-chemical seed treatment applications in Italy, estimated to account for 31.9% of the total demand in 2015. In terms of CAGR between 2015 and 2020, however, demand for seed treatment applications in canola is expected to be the fastest among all crop types at 8.4%. Canola is the leading ingredient used for bio-diesel production in Italy.
Some of the key companies in the market are BASF, DuPont, Monsanto, Syngenta, Bayer and Others. The most preferred strategies of the key players in recent years is to achieve competitive advantage and to expand the business units in various geographical areas by joint ventures, expansion and acquisition. The key payers are eventually focusing on agreements and partnerships to balance the supply and demand of the market. Introducing new effective products is another strategy to stay ahead of the competition.

One Month On, Traders Ponder the Naira Free Float That Wasn'tby
The naira may breach 300 per dollar by next week, RMB says
Bond yields too low to lure foreign investors, FBNQuest says
It's been one month since Nigeria ended its currency peg, pledging to let the naira float freely in the interbank market. It did, for a day.
Since the naira fell 30 percent against the dollar on June 20, the central bank has kept a grip on the exchange rate. Foreign-exchange inflows have barely picked up, according to FirstRand Ltd.'s investment banking unit, as policy makers maintain measures to curb dollar demand. The naira weakened 0.3 percent to 294.25 per dollar on Wednesday.
Forward contracts, which are bought and sold offshore and seen as a gauge of foreign investors' views on the currency, are at record highs, suggesting traders expect the naira to drop further. The question is when. Non-deliverable forwards maturing in three months rose 2 percent to 335 per dollar on Tuesday, while the black market rate of 368 is about 20 percent weaker than the official rate.
"We're still plagued by the same problem we had prior to June," said Nema Ramkhelawan-Bhana, an analyst at FirstRand's Rand Merchant Bank in Johannesburg. "There's growing import and investment demand that isn't necessarily being settled. Market participants have been quite skeptical of this new framework. They're not yet allowed to determine the rate themselves."
Central bank Governor Godwin Emefiele and one of his deputies, Sarah Alade, met investors in the U.S. and U.K. last week to encourage them to buy naira stocks and bonds. Emefiele dismissed suggestions that there was too little foreign-exchange liquidity and said the black market was too small for investors to use as a gauge of the naira's true value, according to two people who attended the private talks and asked not to be identified.
Forwards jumped and volatility surged following those meetings and after the central bank removed a rule capping the difference, or spread, between bids and offers in the foreign-exchange interbank market at 50 kobo on July 15. One-week historical volatility in the naira's spot price increased to 21 percent this week, compared to an average of 6.7 percent over the past five years.
Curbing Demand
Still, little trading is taking place. Turnover in the interbank market averages around $40 million a day, according to analysts at Johannesburg-based Standard Bank Group Ltd. Three years ago, weekly volumes were as high as $1 billion.
The Central Bank of Nigeria is curbing demand for foreign currency by preventing importers of "non-essential" items ranging from glass to textiles from using the interbank market, forcing them on to the black market. Plus, to prevent speculation, all purchases of dollars in the interbank market have to be backed by customer orders, meaning primary dealers and other banks can't trade for a profit on their own behalf.
After the central bank cut the spread limit, "market players appear to be more willing to bid for dollars at higher rates as demand remains strong," Samantha Singh and Ayomide Mejabi, analysts at Standard Bank, said in a July 19 note. "It remains to be seen if this willingness of the central bank to see a truly free floating regime will be regarded as credible."
'Speculative Projections'
The CBN said nothing had changed since Emefiele's meeting with investors last week.
"Investors should allow the market some time to work itself out," said spokesman Isaac Okorafor. "No one is fixing any prices. The market is not bound to pander to unrealistic and speculative projections."
Naira yields will have to rise by around 200 basis points before bond investors are keen to re-enter the country, according to RMB's Ramkhelawan-Bhana. While average yields on local-currency government bonds of 15.1 percent are the highest after Egypt among 31 emerging markets tracked by Bloomberg, they're negative in real terms, with Nigeria's inflation accelerating to 16.5 percent in June.
Yet, the government seems reluctant to let yields increase much, according to FBNQuest, the investment banking unit of First Bank of Nigeria Ltd. Rates were kept below 15 percent at a 120 billion naira ($420 million) bond auction on July 14 and "offshore buyers were again notable for their absence," Gregory Kronsten, an analyst at FBNQuest in London, said in a note.
Tricky Sell
Nigeria faces a tricky sell even if it frees the naira, with inflation rising, the economy weakening and production of oil, which provides the bulk of export earnings, down since February as militants attack pipelines. Economic output will probably shrink 1.8 percent this year, the first contraction in more than two decades, the International Monetary Fund said Tuesday.
That will heap more pressure on the naira, says Ramkhelawan-Bhana.
"A breach of 300 is very likely, if not this week then next week," she said. "The rhetoric is quite strong. The market is pushing for more flexibility."

Applied Catalysis B: Environmental | Year: 2013
Three-dimensionally ordered macro- and meso-porous (3DOM) M/CeO2 (M=Pt, Au and Pt-Au) catalysts supported with different noble metal nanoparticles of Pt, Au and Pt-Au alloy were synthesized by thermal decomposition of cerium nitrate precursor using the close packed structures of PS colloidal crystals as templates. The obtained 3DOM M/CeO2 catalysts possess well-defined 3DOM skeletons composed of ultrafine CeO2 nanoparticles. The macroporous CeO2 skeletons contain the mesoporous walls possessing the nanopores of ~3-4nm and the noble metal nanoparticles of Pt, Au, and Pt-Au alloy with the grain sizes of ~5.0nm homogenously dispersed. The catalytic performance of CO preferential oxidation (PROX) in H2-rich gases on 3DOM Pt/CeO2, Au/CeO2, and Pt-Au/CeO2 catalysts were systematically studied. The superior catalytic performance with 90% CO conversion and 83% CO2 selectivity are realized on 3DOM 1wt.% Pt1Au1/CeO2 catalyst at 80°C under the weight hourly space velocity of 30,000mLg-1h-1. Moreover, the 3DOM 1wt.% Pt1Au1/CeO2 catalyst exhibits excellent catalytic stability maintaining 90% CO conversion and 56% CO2 selectivity even after the test period of 260h under the same flow rate. The three-dimensionally ordered macro- and meso-porous skeletons, the synergistic effect due to the formation of Pt-Au alloy, and the strong interaction of Pt-Au alloy nanoparticles with CeO2 supports are identified to be beneficial to the improvement of catalytic activity and stability of CO PROX. The obtained 3DOM Pt-Au/CeO2 catalysts may be potential candidates with the improved catalytic performance of CO PROX reaction in H2-rich gases for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) applications. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.

RSC Advances | Year: 2014
Three dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM) Au/CeO2 catalysts were synthesized via a thermal decomposition-assisted colloidal crystal templating method following different synthetic procedures using citric acid and oxalic acid as chelating ligands and CeCl3 and Ce(NO 3)3 as cerium salt precursors. All 3DOM Au/CeO2 catalysts possess well-defined 3DOM skeletons composed of well-crystallized CeO2 nanoparticles, based on the different synthetic procedures, the 3DOM Au/CeO2 catalysts show variations in surface elemental compositions, particle sizes of CeO2, macroporous and mesoporous structures, and valence states of Au. The mesoporous walls with nanopores ∼3-4 nm on 3DOM Au/CeO2 skeletons can be created when using Ce(NO3)3 as precursor. The catalytic performance of 3DOM Au/CeO2 catalysts for CO preferential oxidation in H2-rich gases was systematically investigated. The catalytic performance is closely correlated to surface elemental compositions, particle sizes of CeO2, macroporous and mesoporous structures, and valence states of Au due to the different synthetic procedures. The 3DOM Au/CeO2 catalysts prepared using oxalic acid as chelating ligand and Ce(NO3)3 as cerium salt precursor show the highest catalytic activity for CO preferential oxidation in H2-rich gases with 90.1% CO conversion and 59.9% CO 2 selectivity at 50 °C, and 88.3% CO conversion and 59.3% CO 2 selectivity at 80 °C, respectively. The obtained 3DOM Au/CeO2 catalysts may be of importance for guiding the design of efficient catalysts with desired porous structures that are potentially applicable in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells. © 2014 The Royal Society of Chemistry.

A robust microporous metal-organic framework as a highly selective and sensitive, instantaneous and colorimetric sensor for Eu3+ ions

Dalton Transactions | Year: 2014
An extremely thermostable magnesium metal-organic framework (Mg-MOF) is reported for use as a highly selective and sensitive, instantaneous and colorimetric sensor for Eu3+ ions. There has been extensive interest in the recognition and sensing of ions because of their important roles in biological and environmental systems. However, only a few of these systems have been explored for specific rare earth ion detection. A robust microporous Mg-MOF for the recognition and sensing of Eu3+ ions with high selectivity at low concentrations in aqueous solutions has been synthesized. This stable metal-organic framework (MOF) contains nanoscale holes and non-coordinating nitrogen atoms inside the walls of the holes, which makes it a potential host for foreign metal ions. Based on the energy level matching and efficient energy transfer between the host and the guest, the Mg-MOF sensor is both highly selective and sensitive as well as instantaneous; thus, it is a promising approach for the development of luminescent probing materials with unprecedented applications and its use as an Eu3+ ion sensor.

Structure control and crystal-to-crystal transformation for two series of lanthanide-organic coordination polymers

CrystEngComm | Year: 2013
Two series of lanthanide-based coordination polymers, [Ln(HCPOB)(CPOB) (H2O)2]n [Ln = Eu(a1), Gd(a2), Tb(a3), Dy(a4), Ho(a5), Er(a6)] and [Ln(HCPOB)(CPOB)]n [Ln = Eu(b1), Gd(b2), Tb(b3), Dy(b4), Ho(b5), Er(b6)], have been synthesized using an asymmetric semi-rigid V-shape multicarboxylate ligand [H4CPOB = 2-(4-carboxyphenoxy)benzoic acid] by a hydrothermal method at different temperatures. Series a were obtained at 130 °C and have one-dimensional (1D) chain architectures, while series b were synthesized at 180 °C and exhibit three-dimensional (3D) structures. Interestingly, temperature-dependent XRD patterns for 1D compounds indicate that the 1D structure changes to form the 3D coordination polymers on heating the crystals. Single crystals of series a can transform into crystals of series b without any significant change in crystal quality. The variations from 1D to 3D coordination structures are attributed to variable coordination modes of multicarboxylate ligand H2CPOB. In addition, we have studied the luminescent properties of Eu3+, Tb3+, and Dy3+ compounds of series a and series b, and found that series a give very weak luminescence because of coordinated water molecules existing in the complexes. Due to the "antenna effect" or "luminescence sensitization", series b exhibit much stronger fluorescent intensity than that of series a. © 2013 The Royal Society of Chemistry. Source
