Fort Edward, lock #7
We decided to have our engine parts shipped and we got a 10 day pass for the lock system: a whopping $37.50!! We moved down to Fort Edward at Lock #7 for a few nights. There is free power and water, as well as bathroom and showers. No internet though- we walked over a half hour to McDonald's in the new section of town to get internet. The town has some ...

... area for a long time. I want to go for another walk tonight before we leave tomorrow and tackle more locks. There is a lot of history here- Whitehall is the birthplace of the US Navy:
In 1759, Whitehall was settled in a valley at the southern end of Lake Champlain. This colonial town was founded by British Army Captain Philip Skene, and was originally known as Skenesboro. Skenesboro became the first settlement on Lake Champlain and was a center ...
Paddling with Otto and Milo on the Hudson
... or as Milo began to call them, the "flotisserie." I love that term! But something must have happened because Otto noticed that they seemed to stay in place for a very long time and they never caught up to us. Not even when we got stuck on the rocks several times. This is really the first time that I have ever been so stuck on a rocky section that I couldn't move. At one point I thought I was moving, but ...

Ahrrrr!!! Pirate Day!!
Pirate Day on the Hudson. An annual event held by the Adirondack Adventure crew where they supply pirate costume items complete with eye-patches and scarfs. The crew dons their pirate best and a crazy fun filled day of rafting takes place on the Hudson River. They rate the rapids we rode as Class III-V, However, based on the Class V's Alex and I have done elsewhere, I think these were a little weak. The river was down a little, but it was still a lot of fun. We started the day by rolling ...

BAY ST. LOUIS — A former Hancock County road department manager and his wife and brothers have been sentenced to prison in a Hurricane Katrina kickback case.
The Sea Coast Echo reports U.S. District Judge Sul Ozerden in Gulfport sentenced Roger Ladner, the former road manager, to five years during a hearing yesterday. Ladner also was ordered to pay $1.13 million in restitution and was fined $25,000.
After the sentence was handed down, Ladner said he wanted to apologize to his friends, family and the community.
"The decisions I made were wrong, and I hope to one day have the chance to redeem myself," he said.
Ladner's wife, Sharon, was sentenced to two years. His brother, Billy Wayne Ladner, got just over three years. Another brother, Donald Ladner, was sentenced to six months in prison.
Prosecutors say Roger Ladner was given the authority to award millions of dollars in ditch-cleaning contracts after Katrina. He was accused of giving those contracts to companies controlled by him or relatives.
Ladner and his wife Sharon Ladner were indicted in December 2011 on charges of money laundering and conspiracy to commit bribery after a lengthy FBI investigation that determined he funneled Federal Emergency Management Agency money for Hurricane Katrina cleanup contracts into accounts he and his wife controlled.
An affidavit filed in the case said Roger Ladner approved 56 contracts for ditch cleaning in the county at a cost of about $7.3 million.
In June of this year, federal investigators expanded the charges and Billy Wayne Ladner and Donald Ladner were also indicted.
Roger Ladner's attorneys had tried to argue that he had no legal authority to award the contracts and therefore should not have been charged in the case. But prosecutors said the county board of supervisors authorized Roger Ladner to award contracts.
The indictment said Roger Ladner was acting in his official capacity when he awarded the contracts. He and his wife were accused of using third parties "to conceal the fact that they and their companies worked on the county ditch cleaning contracts" and funneled the proceeds "to various persons and accounts."

The Cold Kiss of SteelMature
Elseron sat with his back against the wall holding onto the tiny vampire that slept in his arms with her head resting across his armoured chest. Random uncontrolled thoughts ran through his skull as he struggled to remain conscious. It had been at least twelve hours since they had put them in here and there was still no sign of Eden. If nothing else pain kept Elseron awake. Unending, numbing, blinding pain. His shoulder bled where the arrow had hit his shoulder blade, gore stuck to his face from the eight inch long sword strike down his right cheek, he couldn't feel below the knee of his left leg anymore and without Atlas to heal him soon...But for now the pain was his friend. It kept him sharp! Awake! It ordered the confused mass of his thoughts as best it could, but a combination of worry and shear exhaustion weighed heavy on Elseron and he knew, if they so wished, the Encantos could kill him as easily as they would a bug. He was helpless. For the first time in over three hundred years, the Stalwart Shield was completely at the mercy of his enemies.
No! Roared a voice inside his head, You are the Stalwart Shield! Guardian of Atlas and the greatest warrior the worlds have ever seen! The warrior inside him roared forcing him to a drop a hand down to where his axe would have sat. If the Encantos hadn't taken it. Atlas needs you! And you need her! So fight them Elseron, fight them or I will never forgive you. Only then did he realise the voice was not his own, opening his eyes Elseron was sat in the same cold cell, Arisa in his arms, but a woman stood before him.
'Ariel...' he mumbled placing Arisa gently on the floor. She immediately dropped to his side, hands cupping his face, her soft red lips kissing him on the forehead.
'Be still my knight...be still.' staring at her in disbelief the wellspring of pent up emotion released, he was left a jibbering wreck, tears pouring from the corner of his eyes. She smiled as he placed his hands on her sides, feeling the folds of her dress beneath his bloodstained fingers.
'I...I've missed you...so much! Every day I wake with a hole in my heart.'
'As do I my knight,' she whispered. Those glorious eyes dancing over him. 'But I've been watching you,' she smiled as a pearlescent tear ran down her gorgeous face. 'Such a man you've become...a long way from the boy I knew. That orphan from the slums who would follow me through the streets yet never speak to me,' her hands ran down the rough stubble of his face as she pressed her forehead against his, wiping his tears away with her thumbs. 'Such a man you've become. But I hate myself for the burden you've put on yourself because of me my love...'
'No! Never feel that way,'
'How can I not?' she wept. 'Because of me you're here. I should never have said anything.'
'Shush now,' he said kissing her hand. 'You saved me a lifetime of questions. And now you're here...' a sudden hard and stone cold thought gripped his heart. 'Am I dead Ariel?' eventually breaking away from him she kneeled at his side, soiling her pristine white dress where her knees hit putrid floor of the damp cell.
'You are passing; I can do nothing but take you on...to be with the other Spirits in the Heavens.' Fear gripped him, but not a fear of death.
'No I can't...not yet! Not now! Atlas needs me, I need to see her safe, I need,' she placed a finger on his lips and smiled sadly.
'Then go back, do your duty my Shining Knight. And know I will be watching, always. And I will be waiting for you, when it is your time.' Smiling one last tear fell off her delicate chin.
'I love you.' he said almost desperately.
'And I love you, always and forever my knight.' with one last smile she leaned into him, their lips inches apart, getting closer,closer!
'You!' boomed a powerful voice. Elseron opened his eyes finding the cell door open and a huge scarred Gaoler standing over him. 'Up! Now!' Arisa shot awake and gripped onto Elseron with added vigour as the Gaoler pulled him up by his arm, his whole body screaming in protest.
'Elseron!' screamed Arisa in tears as another guard pried her from him.
'Be brave Lady Kayne,' he said looking back into her warm honey irises. 'Be brave.' the guard tossed her harshly to the floor before he and the Gaoler took Elseron's full armoured weight and dragged him through dark corridors lit with torches dug into hallows on the seastone walls. Fighting to regain his wits Elseron tried to shake the exhaustion from him but nothing worked, he must have been asleep for only a few seconds, but that dream...that dream. Emerging up into a grand hallway of the main palace the Gaoler shoved him into a crowd of guards who all carried spears and lances. One reached for him and deftly began to unlace his armour. He knew he had to conserve his strength, but out of the shear instinct to survive Elseron quickly elbowed the man in the temple. Blood spraying out of the other side of his head with the impact. A lance speared into his thigh, screaming in pain Elseron fell to one knee and the last thing he saw was a green armoured knee flying towards his face.
Ariel...Ariel...Ariel. Freezing cold gripped Elseron's head. Piercing into the flesh of his face with thousands of tiny fangs of ice. Inhaling he immediately began coughing as ice water flew into his lungs. A hand gripped his hair and hauled him from the freezing depths, falling to the side coughing and spluttering Elseron revelled in the air that filled his lungs. Air! Glorious, underrated air! Hard hands manhandled him onto a strange wooden construction that held his arms spread above his head and his legs apart, slightly more than shoulder width. Blinking and panting Elseron tried to take stock of his surroundings. He was in the courtyard of the Palace, the main gateway he collapsed facing him, the huge sloping rock walls of the underwater mountain hanging over the air above his head. The huge courtyard was full of Encantos guards, soldiers and knights. All facing away from him, looking to the palace roofs. A small man wearing half moon spectacles approached him and suddenly and quickly stabbed a strange implement into his neck, pressing on a plunger to inject a strange green liquid into his bloodstream. It was only then, when the Apothecary scurried away did Elseron realise he was armour-less and shirtless.
'A beautiful toxin our greatest Apothecaries have mastered over the centuries,' said a pompous voice from behind him. 'It negates your ability to use magic, we can't have you tearing my father's palace down when you get stronger...can we?' the Drowned Prince of Encante cut into Elseron's view, walking around him slowly, his clothes a simple white silk tunic and leather breeches. His dyed red hair pulled back into a ponytail. 'So you're the great Stalwart Shield. I'm not impressed.'
'Cut me down from here boy and I'll be sure to impress you.' hissed Elseron focusing his gaze above the roof line of the palace. Brax smiled stepping directly in front of a wooden table Elseron had only just realised was there. Striking the cloth from the table he revealed a series of gleaming, vicious looking blades made for the shear purpose of causing intense pain.
'You obviously spent a long time getting all these muscles Atlantean so I will be merciful and give you one chance before I cut each one away from your body.' Stepping so close to him Elseron could smell his perfumed skin Brax looked up into his eyes. 'How many others entered Encante?' pausing Elseron craned his neck down and looked to Brax's shoes.
'Would you care for a box Drowned Prince? Then at least you could look me in the eyes properly.' Blue lights from Elseron's tattoos flashing in his eyes the boy prince grinned before striking him hard across the jaw, reopening the cut across his face and shaking the teeth in their sockets. Spitting a mouthful of blood onto the floor Elseron looked back down to the boy before he dealt him another blow, then another, then another and another. A vicious flurry that left Elseron's face numb and bloodied, his eyes swelling already and his bottom lip nearly split in two.
'Your precious Queen has been running my men around the city like fools, what do you think the chances of her coming are when she hears her loving Guardian screaming to the mountain top?' Brax hissed as he grabbed Elseron's face in his hand.
'Not great...chance of you...making scream...you punch...like a woman.' Elseron mumbled through his swollen mouth, laughing slightly at his own delirious wit. Brax struck him again but this time with the flat of his elbow. Breaking Elseron's nose with a loud snap. Blood flowed and tears flooded his eyes, obscuring his vision even more. 'In fact...I know...women...punch harder...than you!' Melody immediately sprang to mind. 'So...you punch...like girl!' Fury ripping across the prince's unnaturally handsome face he moved from Elseron's face and onto his body. Unleashing a series of crippling blows; knees and elbows. Cracking at least five ribs and at the end had Elseron coughing up blood, the pain was miserable. Unending. Ariel...come back to me my love...I want to die.
'My Prince!' shouted someone Elseron couldn't see as he was strung, slumped, against the strange wooden X.
'What!' roared Brax.
'There was a sighting in the streets of the woman, white dress, no veil. Brown hair.' A deadly silence fell over the courtyard; Elseron only heard the clinking of armour for a long minute.
'Where's your little whore Queen?' whispered Brax in his ear.
'Who?' a hard fist collided with his limp body, sending another spurt of coppery blood flowing into his mouth.
'Your whore! Your little whore where is SHE!'
'Your mother? She's in the Palace behind you.' That comment cost him another harsh set of powerful body blows, but the boy was tiring and one after one the punches became more laboured and easier to withstand. 'Oh...I'm sorry,' mumbled the old Atlantean knight, pulling himself upright. 'Are you one of his bastard children?' Expecting another deal of blows Elseron braced himself, but none came. Instead the boy prince moved over to the table and picked up a gleaming silver knife, several inches long but only a single inch wide. Built for slipping between ribs and spinal vertebrae.
'You have no idea how much pain I am about to put you through Atlantean, tell me...are there any others of your group in my city? And where is your Queen.' Elseron smiled and began laughing, deliriously, through all the pain and blood and tears and broken bones.
'Are you that eager for your father to die boy?' he mumbled, blood dripping off his split lip. 'It's your city already? Show you father out here I'll be more than able to accommodate your wishes...' the razor sharp touch of the steel blade against his bicep made Elseron wince. The searing fire of its gentle embrace as the prince dragged it down his muscle, slicing open skin and sinew and muscle. Roaring a silent roar Elseron gritted his teeth trying to ignore the pain, but it shattered his mind, broke everything inside of him. It controlled his world. Took him over.
'How many of our soldiers did the Stalwart Shield kill?' asked the prince finally releasing the cut which left Elseron panting. The warmth of the blood running down his arm, into his armpit and down his shattered purple ribcage.
'Two hundred three my Prince.' said a confident voice to his right.
'Two hundred three...' breathed Elseron.
'Shocked Stalwart Shield?' asked the boy.
'Disappointed, so few!' Elseron laughed. It seemed mad and reckless...but it was needed for Atlas. He needed to anger Brax so then the boy prince would make the mistake of killing him, because no matter how hard Elseron's mental barriers were, eventually, the pain would build into unbearable proportions, then even the Great Guardian of Atlantis would break...and tell the boy everything. He couldn't let it come to that. While he was still alert enough to think Elseron had to make the boy kill him. It was safest for Atlas.
'I am going to cut you...once for every soldier you've killed.' said Brax in a pleasured whisper. Showing Elseron the gore covered knife. 'Unless you tell me where your precious little queen is...I promise I won't rape her...at first.' Smiling at him Brax slapped him across the face. Elseron smiled back which just made Brax smile more.
'Can't get a girlfriend the normal way boy? Have to resort to rape...how sad.' Elseron had to give the boy credit. He stuck to his word. Two hundred and three cuts across his flesh, by the end Elseron couldn't stand so resorted to hanging from the straps around his hands. Letting those take his weight. Everywhere was red and slick with blood. His once beautiful tattoos were now nothing but random patches of colour beneath the thick film of his blood, their stunning patterns intersected with the lattice work of fine precise slices. Some small, others at least five inches long. Yet through the whole agonising torture Elseron kept his mind and didn't scream once. He couldn't risk drawing Eden here. Or Dante or Phaedos if they were still here...how he would have loved to see Dante in his great beastly form tearing through the ranks of these b*astards...but he couldn't.
'My Prince he cannot take much more without succumbing to the spirit world. He has lost more blood than I have ever seen a man lose. He'll be lucky to last the night.'
'No!' shouted the boy prince. Elseron smiled. He was going to die, he hadn't talked and he was going to die...Ariel...I did it my love. I did it. The thought made him feel bizarrely proud. A silence fell over the courtyard...one he didn't like the feel of. 'Bring the girl.' Arisa! No! Lifting his head Elseron's eyes were so swollen his vision was now nothing but tiny slits. But he saw the boy Prince smiling sickly.
'Sir?' questioned the Apothecary.
'DO IT!' roared Brax. Elseron blacked out for a moment and when he regain sight he saw Brax by the table, Elseron's axe in his hands. Shaking it wildly trying to make the handle extend. 'How come it won't work for me?' he asked moving to stand before Elseron. 'Your Atlantean magic is tricky.' placing the blade beneath his chin Elseron groaned as his own sacred weapon sliced to the bone, lifting his head as blood trickled down his neck Elseron looked at Brax. 'But oh well. The blade works, that's all that matters I suppose.' he paused and held Elseron's head still, axe blade now slicing bone. But Elseron was so broken he didn't feel it, he was numb. Less than dead. 'I will slice the flesh from her bones Elseron...I will cut her into pieces and feed her to the dogs. Just tell me Elseron...spare her. Just one little name, just one little piece of information.' Pausing Elseron mumbled his answer as searing agony shot through him. 'What?' asked the prince moving his ear closer.
'She will destroy you...' the words were agony and left him exhausted beyond belief. Brax hissed and before he knew it Elseron was deliriously staring. Arisa was sobbing gently as Brax had a hand wrapped around her neck holding her against him and her other arm bare from the shoulder, the flat of the axe holding it in place. Arisa looked at him, golden eyes swimming with tears.
'I'll be brave.' she said softly. He could only tell her words by reading her lips. She appeared to be saying it over and over again.
'Tell me Elseron, tell me and I won't hurt the girl.' Arisa shook her head slowly, Elseron looked to the floor ashamed and appalled with himself for what he was doing.She can take it, she can take it. Arisa's scream shattered the silence of the courtyard.

Taiwan, HK, London should cooperate in offshore RMB: banks
By Kathryn Chiu, The China Post Wednesday, January 15, 2014, 12:05 am TWN
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- A ranking official of the Bankers Association on Tuesday called for Taiwan's cooperation with Hong Kong and London on developing offshore renminbi (RMB) business, saying this will generate benefits for three parties.
Bankers Association Chairwoman Lee Jih-chu (李紀珠), who doubles as chairwoman of the state-invested Bank of Taiwan (台灣銀行), said on the sidelines of the Asian Financial Forum in Hong Kong that her missions at this year's forum are four-fold, one of which being to make a bid to partake in the annual meeting between Hong Kong and London on RMB business cooperation.
She said that the tie-up with Hong Kong and London will speed up the development of RMB-based products in Taiwan, and Hong Kong as well as London will gain if Taiwan comes into the picture.
Moreover, Lee said she was tasked with another three missions. To begin with, she went to Hong Kong to push for in-depth cooperation between banks across Hong Kong and Taiwan. Secondly, she filled in for the Bankers Association to seek more exchanges and talk about organizing more business match-making activities with the Hong Kong Association of Banks.
Finally, Lee said she would take the opportunity to pay calls to Bank of Taiwan's Hong Kong-based clientele, including the Yue Xiu Group.
Alderman Fiona Woolf, Lord Mayor of the City of London, has been visiting Taiwan to talk about issues related to Taiwan-UK financial cooperation with President Ma Ying-jeou and high-ranking Taiwanese officials.
Woolf told the Unite Daily News in an interview last week that she was impressed by Taiwan's large amounts of RMB deposits and expressed hope that the two countries can cooperate to expand offshore renminbi business by making use of the large renminbi deposits and a wide array of products and services offered by the UK
Hong Kong Yuan Deposits to Hit 1 Trillion: CY Leung
Taiwan's yuan deposits currently sit at the foot of the table among offshore RMB hubs.
Hong Kong Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying (梁振英, CY Leung) revealed at the Asian Financial Forum that Hong Kong's yuan deposits stood at 1 trillion in late 2013, nearly seven times as much as Taiwan's yuan deposits of 150 billion.
Leung further indicated that there have been 330 tranches of RMB-denominated bonds traded on the Hong Kong stock market, raising 309 billion Chinese yuan in total. He expected that RMB internationalization will be achievd in ten years, with Hong Kong playing a major part in developing and expanding RMB business around the world.
Singapore's yuan deposits stood at 172 billion in late 2013, while the total amount of yuan cleared in Singapore amounted to 2.6 trillion in the same period, according to the latest figures from the Monetary Authority of Singapore and ICBC Singapore.
The British government has been aggressively promoting London to become a fully fledged offshore renminbi trading center in the West, Sajid Javid, Britain's Financial Secretary to the Treasury, said in an interview with UDN in London.
Javid said that mainland China promised to give London 80 billion yuan of the Renminbi Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor (RQFII) quota in October 2013 when he and Chancellor George Osborne attended the fifth UK-China Economic Financial Dialogue in China.

Finite Scale Microstructures in Nonlocal Elasticity
- Cite this article as:
- Ren, X. & Truskinovsky, L. Journal of Elasticity (2000) 59: 319. doi:10.1023/A:1011003321453
In this paper we develop a simple one-dimensional model accounting for the formation and growth of globally stable finite scale microstructures. We extend Ericksen's model [9] of an elastic "bar" with nonconvex energy by including both oscillation-inhibiting and oscillation-forcing terms in the energy functional. The surface energy is modeled by a conventional strain gradient term. The main new ingredient in the model is a nonlocal term which is quadratic in strains and has a negative definite kernel. This term can be interpreted as an energy associated with the long-range elastic interaction of the system with the constraining loading device. We propose a scaling of the problem allowing one to represent the global minimizer as a collection of localized interfaces with explicitly known long-range interaction. In this limit the augmented Ericksen's problem can be analyzed completely and the equilibrium spacing of the periodic microstructure can be expressed as a function of the prescribed average displacement. We then study the inertial dynamics of the system and demonstrate how the nucleation and growth of the microstructures result in the predicted stable pattern. Our results are particularly relevant for the modeling of twined martensite inside the austenitic matrix.

1998 XJ 3" 31" Hakka LT 340,000 km
1998 XJ 3" 31" Hakka LT 290,000 km
So I've had my cruze diesel since July an so far all has been good (1st diesel by the way). Now that the weather is getting colder (Maryland) I've been using the remote start in the mornings. Problem is that my mpg's drop to about 28 compared to almost 42 during the summer. Does Idiling kill the mpg that much, would the oil pan heater help with this? 28 mpg's just ain't enough.
Idling kills the mileage that bad.. Our cars have an auxiliary electric heater that gives warm air after about 3 minutes.. Takes my car about 12 minutes of driving to get up to operating temp so the electric heater is great.. My mileage is real bad until she heats up
I only use the remote start on the diesel for defrosting, it doesn't really heat the car even with the electric heat.
The one thing I can't figure out though is how to extend the remote start another 10 minutes. Every time I try to do what the book says it just shuts off. I got it to work once, but no such luck since.

He was quoted by a local media outlet as saying:
"We know 152 students to be dead and 166 are unaccounted for. We fear that they might have been kidnapped by Al-Shabaab, and the government should come clean about their whereabouts,"

Speaking at Uniafric House, where they had been holding a crisis meeting with the Garissa University College lecturers, the infuriated Muga laid the blame squarely on the government inability to provide security measures to the institution.
The lecturers also wanted to know the fate of their jobs with the secretary general demanding that they should be moved to other universities with immediate effect:
"We are meeting tomorrow with the Moi University Council to discuss the plight of the 27 lecturers. They must be assured of their job security, and they should not lose their benefits."
K'olale asked the government to relocate GUC staff from the Garissa and provide them with transport and security.

allocative efficiency/increase living standards
Balance of payments
Low inflation (2%)
Full employment
Economic growth
negative output gap, How it works, AD is lessened = demand for goods and services is weakened, This leads to firms employing less, incomes fall, expenditure therefore falls, can lead to a vicious spiral, Actual growth is less than trend growth, Effects, Worsens Current account, Unemployment rises as firms decide to employ less, inflation falls, falling ouput, Solutions, Monetary, expansionary, BoE lowers interest rates, encourages spending, savings fall and spendings increase, Fiscal, expansionary, Lower taxes and increases spending and quantitative easing, Injections increases and balances out with withdrawls, economy is in equalibirum when W=J
positive output gap, during p. output gap there is an increase in demand, firms increase prices to choke of excess demand, this leads to inflation, this is demand pull inflation, because of the increase in prices workers will bid for higher wages, if firm passes these higher costs of production onto consumers then this is cost-push inflation
National income, Income received from firms for factors of production produced by households, J (injections) =, I (Investment), G (Government Spending), X (Exports)
National expenditure, Money spent on goods and services produced by firms, W (Withdrawls) =, S (Savings), T (Taxes), M (imports)
If W > J, then output and income will fall and lead to a recession
E.G. is best defined as the increase in potential level of real output the economy can produce of a given period of time. (long-run)
Percentage change in GDP (Short-run)
Short run E.G. uses spare capacity in the economy, movement from F (inside frontier) to G
Long run E.G. increase total productive capacity, Movement from G to H
Supply side policies increase quantity and quality of the economy's factors of production
This allows an economy to grow at a more rapid rate also reduces risk of accelerating inflation
More capital goods = greater long term growth
However, for an economy to grow there needs to be sufficient demand
GDP measures the level/total of national output
GDP growth measures how much real GDP has changed in a given time period
A recession exists when real GDP falls for two economics consecutive quarters
Long run Aggregate supply refers to the total level of output supplied within an economy at any given price level
SRAS is the sum of all individuals firm's supply curves
AD line is straight because output stays the same in real terms
AD line shows the normal capacity level of output in the economy
aggregate supply refers to the total level of output supplied within an economy at any given price level.
Short run supply is the total of all individual firms supply curves. As price rises firms will supply more in hope of higher profits
Change in the price levels leads to a movement along the long run aggregate demand curve i.e. straight up
If any of these increase/decrease the LRAS will shift out/inwards respectively
An output gap will occur when the growth rate in the economy is either above or below the trend rate of growth/ long term economic growth
A negative gap is when the rate of growth is below the trend rate
A positive gap is when the rate of growth is above the trend rate, this will either decrease the deficit or increase the surplus in the balance of payments on the current account
Output gaps occur when output is greater or less than trend output. A recession or boom. A recession is a fall in real output for 2 consecutive quarters. Running below normal capacity means a fall in output and rising unemployment
Chain of reason (negative), Actual output < trend, Unemployment rising, Inflation falling, Solution, Expansionary monetary and fiscal polcies, BoE lowers interest rates (monetary), this leads to decrease in savings + increase in spendings, So J is increased balancing it with W, Economy is in equilibrium when W = J, Government lowers taxes and raises its spendings (fiscal)
Number in current year/ number in base year
not searching for work: Housewives, People in education, - claimant count and labour force survey are used to measure unemployment, - claimant count is people who eligibly passed for benefits
However, discrepancy between the 2, government holds a bit of manipulation over figures through definition of unemployed pushing figure down, - Changed from those registered at job centres to those actually collecting benefit, - 2 week time lag introduced before someone could be declared unemployed, - Anyone under 18 couldn't register for benefits and went on training scheme, - Pressure was put on long-term unemployed to accept a place on a training scheme, - People seeking part-time employment became ineligible for benefit
Some people would even argue that it underestimates true unemployment rate, - Benefit cheats, - May not be seeking unemployment even tho benefited, - Moving between jobs
- Labour force survey (LFS) measuremen of 60000 households
Cyclical, Occurs when there is a negative output gap when aggregate demand is too low, When not enough demand firms will make workers redundant, During recessions unemployment inevitably rises as firms close, Can be solved with demand side policies
Structural, When sector shifts occur and there is a decline in old industry, Workers with now useless skills cannot find a job, Caused by deindustrialisation, Solutions: offer training programs to obtain new skills,example of supply side policy
Frictional, Caused when people move between jobs if earning a lot and then made redundant they wont instantly accept a new low-paid job but wait and search for an equivalently paid job, Labelled as voluntary unemployment, Could be argued that long search periods arise because of the availability of benefits and the real value should be reduced, Individual has imperfect information so will take time to search
Seasonal, Caused from regular change in weather conditions and holidays such as Christmas; higher employment ., Affects tourism agriculture and construction
Classical, When markets fail to clear, Wage price is higher than equilbrium price, usually caused by minimum wage i.e. too much union power
Demand-Side, Solves Cyclical, Solution to negative output gap to raise aggregate demand
Supply-Side, Improving available information, cutting unemployment benefits (e increasing incentive to find a job and reducing search time), Increase Geographical mobility by government grants luring investment, infrastructure, housebuilding, Occupational mobility grants education and training, See table in revision booklet
Loss of income for individual and skills if out of work for a long time
Government has to pay benefits and loses tax revenue
Economy loses output as a whole
Capital account is a balance of lending and borrowing
If it is running a current account deficit the economy's total spending exceeds its total income, Deficit of the current account can only be financed through a surplus of the capital account
current account composition:, X-M (of goods and services), +/- net income flows, refers to interest, profits and dividends that a country receives each year from its ownership of assets abroad, +/- net transfers, refers to such things like aid donations and payments to institutions like EU and world bank
Demand-Side, High aggregate demand, leads to rising incomes some of which is spent more imported goods, current account worsens, firms also import more raw materials
Supply-Side, there will be a deficit if there is a lack of competitiveness in a country, low productivity means high cost per unit, this leads to uncompetitiveness
Inflation, Consistently high inflation means expensive exports = worsening current account
Non-price factors, quality/design/reliability/warranty
Exchange rate
Definition: an exchange rate is the price of one currency expressed in therms of another
S.P.I.C.E.D./W.P.I.D.E.C., Depreciating pound, exports cost less, quantity rises, Imports cost more, quantity falls, Improves current account
value of a currency is determined by the demand for that currency and the available supply, called a floating exchange rate
Affects on macro performance, depreciation of pount shifts AD out, New node, increase in exported goods means unemployment will fall as more labour is needed to produce, higher profits and so could lead to rise in investment, more/better capital leads to an increase in productivity, lower's firms per unit cost and increase competitiveness = more exports, cycle repeats only drawback is possible inflation, increase in price of imported goods leads to inflation, More expensive to import raw materials, cost-push inflation (shift in SRAS up) (if firms pass costs onto consumers)
current account is partly cyclical, if AD needs reducing contractionary monetary+fiscal polcies is needed
Expenditure switching polcies, if depreciation then switch to domestic made products as cheaper
If poor competitiveness then supply-side polcies will be needed, increase productivity, increase non-price competition
place limits on number of goods coming into the country or tariffs, Protectionist policies, this is Prohibited by WTO
C, Exchange rate
I, Interest rates, Unemployment, business confidence, Credit
G, debt, bailout banks, unemployment, needed fiscal stimulus
S, Interest rate
Consumption, Personal Expenditure of households
Investment, Interest rate (negative relationship), Household expenditure on new homes, Capital buying
Government spending, salaries of civil servants
Purchase of financial product (asset)
Measured by changes in RPI, RPIX, CPI
RPIX (RPI – mortgage interest payments) is the one used by the government and firms
Aggregate demand shifts out creating a positive output gap. as component is increased, Firms increase prices to choke off excess demand, Leads to pool of unemployed workers diminishing as firms need to produce more, - They demand higher wages, and there is a tightening of the labour market to prevent loosing workers, - Leads to rising firm costs
Caused by increased wages (unless offset by productivity), rising raw material costs, falling exchange rate
Affects fair distribution of income as it diminishes value of fixed incomes e.g. pensioners or workers in weak bargaining postion
Redistributes away from savers towards borrowers as diminishes value of debt therefore you will have gained
Inflationary expectations rise, workers bid up wages leading to wage price spiral
If inflation rises faster than other countries it will make us less competitive
Creates uncertainty leading to loss of confidence and therefore investment decreases
Blurs price signals if prices are constantly changing and so reduces efficiency of market
wage growth, affected by union power, immigration, inflation expectation
immigration, increases supply easing supply side constraints
Information technology, increases productivity
Globalisation, reduces power of domestic firms raising their prices during the boom as their are alternatives

Japan's Ozawa says recovered from illnesses, full of plans
By Elaine Lies
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's Seiji Ozawa, one of the best-known conductors of his generation, said on Monday he had recovered from health problems including cancer and has many plans for the future, including conducting an opera next year.
Ozawa, 78, was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in January 2010, underwent lower back surgery a year later and suffered multiple bouts of pneumonia, which kept him mostly sidelined until mid-2013.
He then made a triumphant return by directing an opera at the Saito Kinen Festival, a music extravaganza in the Japanese city of Matsumoto that he founded 23 years ago. On Monday, he welcomed the announcement that the festival will be renamed the Seiji Ozawa Matsumoto Festival in his honour.
"I'm really grateful," he told a news conference, contrasting the gesture to having a rehearsal hall named for him in the United States in 1994, when the idea struck him as being "a little bit like a tombstone".
"That somebody like me, who has suffered a major illness and underwent surgery, can speak casually about death is proof that I've really recovered," he said. "Either that, or I'm really dumb - but please think of me as being recovered and active."
Ozawa, a former conductor at the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Vienna State Opera, will direct a concert at the Matsumoto festival this summer and an opera, "Beatrice and Benedict" by Hector Berlioz, next year.
But he said changing the festival's name did not signal other changes, such as his retirement.
"That kind of thing is a trade secret," he said, to laughter. "The truth is that I have always been thinking of who might take over from me even from the time I began the festival years ago." Continued...

Great Smokies: From Natural Habitat to National Park
€ 37,99
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
August 2000
BeschreibungSeeking a taste of unspoiled wilderness, more than eight million people visit the Great Smoky Mountains National Park each year. Yet few probably realize what makes the park unusual: it was the result of efforts to reclaim wilderness rather than to protect undeveloped land. The Smokies have, in fact, been a human habitat for 8,000 years, and that contact has molded the landscape as surely as natural forces have. In this book, Daniel S. Pierce examines land use in the Smokies over the centuries, describing the pageant of peoples who have inhabited these mountains and then focusing on the twentieth-century movement to create a national park. Drawing on previously unexplored archival materials, Pierce presents the most balanced account available of the development of the park. He tells how park supporters set about raising money to buy the land--often from resistant timber companies--and describes the fierce infighting between wilderness advocates and tourism boosters over the shape the park would take. He also discloses the unfortunate human cost of the park's creation: the displacement of the area's inhabitants. Pierce is especially insightful regarding the often-neglected history of the park since 1945. He looks at the problems caused by roadbuilding, tree blight, and air pollution that becomes trapped in the mountains' natural haze. He also provides astute assessments of the Cades Cove restoration, the Fontana Lake road construction, and other recent developments involving the park. Full of outstanding photographs and boasting a breadth of coverage unmatched in other books of its kind, The Great Smokies will help visitors better appreciate the wilderness experience they have sought. Pierce's account makes us more aware of humanity's long interaction with the land while capturing the spirit of those idealistic environmentalists who realized their vision to protect it. The Author: Daniel S. Pierce teaches in the department of history and the humanities program at the University of North Carolina, Asheville, and is a contributor to The Tennessee Encyclopedia of History and Culture.

Friend against friendMature
"YOU WANT ME TO BE FRIENDS WITH HER?" Mia screached at the top of her voice at me, I held the phone about a metre from my ear and yelled back "...YES!"
I had known that Mia would have trouble with us getting along with Tilly more than Lilly would. I sighed, in the background I could hear Mia's dad yelling at her for speaking too loud, as per usual Mia ignored him and went back to me. "Do you remember what she has said to me? To you? To Lilly?" I cringed, yes she had once said something to Mia, something Mia had never been able to forgive. "I don't remember her ever saying anything mean to Lilly!" I said.
Tilly had never been a bully, she just wanted attention, the attention that she never had at home, the problem was, that wasn't so different to how Mia felt.
Mia had been brought up by a very different family to Tilly's. Mia's parents were split up, but I sometimes wondered if Mia would rather not having a father. She wasn't much better well off in the money department than Tilly was. Mia had had to look after her two younger sisters from a young age, but it was rare to hear her complain about it. She was prepared for a rough life, but she wanted a better one, that was why she was so thrilled when she had found Luke, there was finally someone who loved her for who she was, not who she was supposed to be in the eyes of her family.
Tilly and Mia, though both from similar backgrounds, were as different as it was possible to be. Mia had often scoffed at Tilly's desperate need for attention from the teachers, she found it easier to keep her head down and work solo, that was how she had managed her constant stream of As. Tilly had thought that Mia only did so well because she copied off what other people said in the class and used that as her own material.
Tilly had once overheard Mia talking to me about how she and Luke were celebrating their six month anniversary soon, and Tilly, who was behind us, said "That poor boy must be desperate if he wants to go out with someone who is more of a man than he is!" If Lilly hadn't been pulling at her jumper, she would have lunged for Tilly, which was strange because this wasn't disimilar to what we had aften said about she and Luke.
"Mi, think about it, she needs friends who she knows will be friends, she has never known what that would be like, we might as well help her out!" I said, I could hear the plea in my voice was turning into a whine, but I ignored it, my voice was reputed for sounding strange when I was trying to convince someone of something."
"Look, never in a million years am I helping that pig with her shit life, I can do what I want with my boyfirned, and I don't want her hearing about it!" She said fiercly "Then don't say anything about it! You'll be doing us all a favour then!" I had already hear too much of her exploits with Luke!
"If you want to be friends with that brat then you are going to have to do it without me!" "Fine! Maybe then I would get some space from your consistent whining of how you don't know where your relationship is giong and how you are so hard done by. You have a life, you have a home, you have friends, and you have a boyfriend. What the hell is wrong with you, if you have such a crap life then what the hell are you doing at a private school? Why don't you just piss off?" with that I ended the call, and I feared something else.

Nāndi is a Nizari Isma'ili ceremony during which food offered to the Imām-e Zamān is sold off at auction to people attending the Jamatkhana (the Ismaili place of worship). The money obtained through the sale of Nāndi is sent to the Imām by a group of people from the Ismaili community (Jama'at) given that responsibility. The people in charge of selling the food are volunteers from the Jama'at, they announce what is on the plate and members of the Jama'at put their hands up to buy it. The preparation of the food is done at home and it is brought to the Jamātkhāne, the Mukhi (Ismaili minister) mentions the food during a blessing and tells the congregation that it has been offered to the Imām and the benefits of it are for the whole Jamāt, the food is known as "Mehmāni." If no physical Mehmāni has been brought to the Jamātkhāna then a symbolic plate called the "Mehmāni plate" can be touched during the Du'a Karavi ceremony, this serves as a substitute for physical food.
The offering of Mehmāni and buying and selling of Nāndi are not mandatory on Isma'ilis, only Holy Du'a, Dasond and following the Farmāns of the Imām are mandatory. Nāndi is symbolic and supplementary. It is said that the early Muslims gifted Prophet Muhammad with food however he then distributed it to the poor. In the Ismaili mosques, Ismailis receive the food and donate money which is then used for charity.

Cell Systems Engineering
Cell Systems Engineering (CSE)
The Cell Systems Engineering (used to be Bioprocess Technology) group aims at improving the efficiency of bioprocesses by focussing on microbial performance. Knowledge of the metabolism of microbial cells is indispensable for (a) the optimisation of bioreactor operation, (b) the selection of the best micro-organism for a given biochemical conversion, (c) targeted or evolutionary improvement of an existing micro-organism and (d) design (metabolic engineering) of micro-organisms with new reactivities and/or morphology.
The group has broad experience in modelling both bioreactor systems and metabolic networks that function under (pseudo) steady state conditions. More recently, the research interest has shifted towards developing new experimental hardware, analytical protocols and theoretical tools that allow the in vivo analysis of the responses of microbial cells to environmental and genetic disturbances. The new tools are applied to study the metabolic reaction network and control structures in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Penicillium chrysogenum. The research currently focuses on the primary carbon metabolism of these two industrially relevant strains.
The group collaborates with the Industrial Microbiology, Bioprocess Engineering and Environmental Biotechnology group and is strongly involved in Bio-based, Ecologically Balanced Sustainable Industrial Chemistry (BE-Basic), and in education of Biotechnology Studies Delft Leiden (BSDL) (sector 2).

RMI's mission is to transform lives through church to church partnerships. We facilitate and are the bridge to make these successful cross-cultural partnerships work. We work hand in hand with national churches to enable them and resource them for life transformation. This takes place through evangelism, discipleship, education, community development and social compassion. It is a holistic endeavor that will enable an entire US church to have a strategic impact in the national church's lives and into their community.
Church Partnerships
US Churches partnering hand in hand with national churches to bring about reciprocal life transformation.
Mission Trips
Helping RMI accomplish projects at the Zanglais Ministy Center as well as helping with various community projects.
Child Sponsorships
The Hope for Kidz program is meeting the educational and physical needs of Haitian children who are unable to attend school.
"I appreciate how RMI views short-term mission trips. The sensitivity to culture and those we come to 'help'. The reciprocal ministry is so important to actually serving instead of being the problem." - Team Leader, Galloway, New Jersey
"This was a great trip. Especially good for me was the experience I had when we were taking food boxes into homes. I was able to share the gospel with a non-believer who wanted to accept Christ. That in itself was a new experience for me and it was great to see how different people all played a role in that one girl's experience...from the Haitian whose home we were in being her friend, to the person who invited her into the prayer circle, to the one who asked her if she wanted to know Christ, to the one who shared the gospel, the ones praying for me and her as I shared, to the deacon who did the praying with her and the church who will be following up with her. That is the way the gospel and the body of Christ works!" - Team Member, Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania

This year Mr Gandia, whose family firm, S A T Royal, is Spain's largest producer of hand-picked peaches and nectarines, was more conservative: his first fruits were ready for market on 10 April. That is still a huge achievement; ripe peaches and nectarines are not usually available until at least the beginning of June. Mr Gandia has extended the European growing season by six weeks.
To judge by the supermarket shelves, we now have summer all year round. In the depths of British winter we can buy nectarines which have been flown half- way round the world. They usually cost a bomb and taste of very little. But when I visited Mr Gandia's orchards outside Seville in the Guadalquivir river valley, earlier this month, I found that his fruits were truly luscious. Yellow peaches and nectarines named 'Candor' and 'Sun Red' - sweet but refreshingly sharp, wonderfully juicy - were just giving way to 'Springcrest' and 'Red Diamond', and to white varieties such as the 'Robin' peach, and a stunning, perfumed nectarine called 'Silvery'. How is this achieved?
Jose Gandia is a specialist, who took the decision not to extend his range,
but to concentrate on nectarines and peaches. This meant becoming involved with research, most of which is carried out in the US. 'Ever since the end of the Second World War,' says Mr Gandia, 'America has led the way in this field, but there has been a problem for us Europeans. US consumers buy with their eyes on the cosmetic appearance of fruit, and most of the fruit that's sold never gets eaten. In the US they sell fruit that is not properly mature, and then handle it badly. Breeders would show me long lists of different factors for classifying fruit - colour, size, smoothness - but nowhere was there any mention of taste.'
So Mr Gandia decided to fund his own research at the University of Florida. Now he is growing 300,000 peach and nectarine trees, as well as his experimental 'collections' - sets of 2,000 different varieties bred especially for him. Each strain is tested on five different root stocks, and to taste the same variety of white peach from different root stocks is a revelation.
Once early varieties with powerful flavour have been selected and planted, vigilance is essential: sophisticated weather prediction equipment alerts managers to late frosts, and fires are built to prevent damage to the crop.
We can buy these fruits in Britain at Marks & Spencer, which is placing 'tree- ripe' specimens on its shelves within three days of picking. 'We've done a lot of work in the south of France on this high-risk ripe fruit,' says Peter Village, M & S's fruit technologist. 'Their season begins in June. But because Seville is that much farther south, we can produce the same quality of fruit between March and June, when the southern hemisphere sources are past their best.'
Summer stone fruit is still basically a bulk market, and price is the main factor. Growers strip their trees in one or two pickings. Because the fruit is graded by machines, it has to be picked when relatively green and 'backward', which means that much of it never ripens properly. And crews are often paid solely by the quantity they pick.
Mr Gandia's exports to M & S are treated quite differently. The fruit is picked only after it has passed two sophisticated maturity tests - one to judge sugar content, the other resistance to pressure. 'This tells us that the fruit, although firm, is mature and can still ripen en route to stores,' says Mr Village. In Mr Gandia's orchards, the pickers receive 'ripeness' bonuses. Each pallet, tested as it is picked, must contain at least 8 to 12 per cent overripe fruit; without this margin of waste, the maturity of the rest cannot be guaranteed.
Further tests, for ripeness and pesticide residues, are carried out, before the fruit is graded by size and quality, and carefully packed.
Among European countries, Spain has a relatively poor reputation for pesticide control. So is Mr Gandia's early harvest predicated on chemical treatments? 'A mistake with pesticides would be Chernobyl for us,' he says. 'Unlike smaller farmers, who sell their fruit into co-operatives where their production is swallowed up in a larger pool, a pesticide problem would close us down. We are using about one-third of the chemicals we did 10 years ago.' According to M & S, daily tests never detect any chemical residues - not even those within 'safe' government limits.
The chance to buy ripe peaches and nectarines with a clean bill of health, early in the season, is good news for
British consumers. And now that Marks & Spencer has loose fruit displays in 57 of its stores, with a further 80 to follow next year, those of us who like to sniff out ripeness may be so attracted by the perfume of the fruits, we will buy them in Continental fashion, by the kilo.

I would not even show them my gun if I have to answer an unexpected knock on my door after 6PM since I have a peephole. To do so may initiate a provocation and will cause them to report me. I'd rather not let them know and have the element of surprise in my favor. Only if the door gets kicked down or if a shot is fired will they realize that I have a gun on me.

Its so odd that you have asked this when I was thinking about something similar the other day.
The same as everyone else has said, different states have different laws so its best to refer to yours respectively.
I would take the conservative assumption if I weren't clear even after looking at the law. You may want to call state police and speak w/their legal dept. and ask this if you can't find anything after looking at the laws that apply to your state.
In the meantime, If you find a need to answer the door with your gun readily available before you find a definitive answer, I would play it safe and keep it concealed like others have suggested. I know it sounds crazy but in KY, you aren't even allowed to carry concealed on your own property without a CCDW so I would imagine that you aren't allowed to brandish either. Now at the same time, however, I would imagine that I would be completely in my rights to answer the door open carry.
Legally speaking, in the capacity of being a citizen, a gun is for hunting and self-defense. I refrain from using a gun as a scare tactic. If I get it out, I'm going to use it. I'm not getting it out to scare someone just like I'm not going to fire warning shots, etc.
Why don't you just open carry in appendix position when you open the door - message received.

@Limatunes, thank you for fixing the thread title. I thought of that on the way home and had a DOH, moment.Good Suggestion for concealment tacticOriginally Posted by whec724Another good suggestion.

That is good to know. I tried to keep the conditions as don't care as possible. My thought was mostly on the legal factor and I could see this sort of thing happening, even unintentionally. It would really suck to be charged with an offense in your own home and then it occurred to me that I hadn't encountered any information on that situation.Originally Posted by NC Bullseye
At all, thank you for your insightful replies!
Always Carry,Never Tell....AND Don`t Let Them See It!!!!. The element of Surprise is Priceless!.
If I'm not expecting you......I never open the door.......don't like that.......discuss it with our German Shepard "JAX".....maybe he'll let you in.
I always open the door, but with 2 great danes to the left and right of me. Zeus's head is at most peoples chest and at 170 pounds most people step back or in one case, just run. Makes me kinda jealous cause nobody ever notices the 1911 always on me.
got a gun for my wife....best trade i ever made
I don't open the door to strangers...I can see who is knocking.
If I open the door, my Irish Wolfhound is next to me, and my Glock is in my IWB holster.
It's very accessible, but can't be seen...therefore, not brandishing.
I don't want anyone to know that I'm armed.
As long as you're not pointing the firearm AT someone, I don't believe that it would be considered brandishing in your own home.OMOYMV

OC has worked for me in the past. Makes the random security guys go away faster, and seemed to help with the Kirby guy my wife let in the house. They are like gnats. They were pretty friendly though, I guess an armed society is a polite society. They went below half of the original price, but seeing as I was in the middle of laying laminate flooring we just don't need a new vacuum. I did have to get pretty blunt to make that point though.
I prefer to live dangerously free than safely caged!
"Our houses are protected by the good Lord and a gun. And you might meet 'em both if you show up here not welcome son." Josh Thompson "Way Out Here"
The random security salesman always concerns me. When we built the house we live in, we took advantage of the fact that we had access before the sheetrock went up to install a better than average alarm system that is hard wired. We do have a visible, but not obnoxiously so, sign by the front door from a local alarm company (rather than a national chain) and this always seems to attract the security salesman who starts asking questions about our setup. I am always very reluctant to answer and they never seem to want to take a hint that I am not interested in either discussing my system with them or purchasing theirs.
I could see where OC or a variant there of could be beneficial in making a pest uncomfortable and desire to leave. At the same time, someone else now knows that you have guns, which are worth stealing. This thread has reminded me of the discussion about not putting a sign advertising that intruders will be shot, for this reason. This weekend, my wife and I were joking about a way around that part. We said we could put up an equally ominous sign (playing off one of our favorite games): "All ye who enter unbidden will find themselves wrapped in the Nigh Mother's cold, loving, embrace" Of course, in reality we wouldn't, but thought it sounded fun.
I would presume that if your municipality allows open carry you can be open carrying, but I see no reason to have it in your hand....

Corby: Signing in
That was awesome! I just flew in the air on a rope holding on to a girl! Sweet!
That was going through my head my entire walk with James. Maybe next time I should ask the flying girl's name, in case I plan on doing that again.
" Sorry Corby I've got lots of stuff to do. But Just say your name , and reason which is new comer into the speaker. And you should be taken from there."
"All right see you later man." Good thing I had someone to go with, knowing me I probably would've gotten lost. I walked into the cathedral and pushed the speaker button. Then I heard a light buzzing noise, and then a woman voice came through.
"Please state your name and purpose."
"Uh.. my name is Corby, newcomer." And just like that the doors open, and I walk in and sign my name. All right, now I'm getting somewhere. I walked outside and then I realized, this accomplished absolutely nothing. I push the button again.
"Please state your name and purpose."
"Hi, Corby again. Um, I have a few questions, are you the person to ask?"
"Indeed child. Please, have a seat." I took a seat on a bench in the Cathedral. Now it's time to get some answers.

BeschreibungWhen the sun never sets, life on earth takes strange turns. In Poniktuk, a village on the Beaufort Sea, Simon Umingmak and his 18-year-old nephew Nate square off on the issue of land rights. Meanwhile, the head of the Hunters? Association finds a white woman, the lone survivor of a wilderness canoe trip, nearly dead from hunger and exposure. He brings her to Poniktuk, and while she sleeps, a teenage girl starts a cult around her striped tuque. Sedna, the spirit under the sea, and Aningat, the moon spirit, are disturbed and re-enter the human world at Poniktuk. In one long bright night, spirits and humans collide, with horrific consequences. Lawrence Osgood spent more than 10 years in the Arctic, exploring the rivers and working with the Inuit on land rights and language preservation and producing Inuktitut children's television. The dramas of this accomplished playwright have been produced on CBC Radio and off-Broadway. He has pub-lished stories in Pleiades and Canadian Fiction Magaz

I am a Muslim woman who is about to tell my traditional parents that I plan to marry my white boyfriend. He will convert, and we won't live together beforehand, but even so they may disown me. Will this and our cultural differences make it less likely for us to survive as a couple?
You weren't expecting a simple yes or no, were you? Relationship research shows that like marries like. There isn't much research on marriage between people of different religions or ethnic groups, and even less on divorce rates.
You are pretty unusual. In this year's Social Trends, published by National Statistics, it says that only 3% of Bangladeshis married someone outside the south Asian group. The authors put this down to both cultural and religious differences. Your boyfriend is even more unusual, because white people are the least likely to marry outside their ethnic group.
Your parents will have expected to have arranged your marriage. This alone will be shocking for them - although they must have noticed the differences between their life and yours. The National Survey of Ethnic Minorities (admittedly in the 1990s) found that most people in south Asian communities had their partners chosen by their parents, but that people under the age of 34 were more likely to want to choose their partner.
The evidence for break-ups is conflicting, with a study from Germany finding that mixed marriages are no more likely to divorce than non-mixed ones, while a study in the Netherlands says there is an increased risk. Your boyfriend is converting, however - essential for familial acceptance - and studies from the US show that marriages where one partner has converted to the other's religion have lower divorce rates than average (although the evidence is strongest for Jews).
The fundamentals of love are romance, companionship, love and support. You have to believe these cross cultural boundaries.

And so the Saints go marching on, although not without a few stutters and nervy moments along the way. Nonetheless a third successive victory in the Premier League means Southampton, who are up to fourth, are rubbing shoulders with the elite. They have not seen anything like this down by the south coast for a long time.
Of course, no one is expecting Southampton to challenge for the title, or even a place in the Champions League, and in the long spells when they were pinned back by Swansea City, it looked like Mauricio Pochettino's side would not achieve their fifth clean sheet of the season. It might have been a different story if any of Wilfried Bony, Nathan Dyer or Michu – who was on Sunday night called up by Spain for their World Cup qualifiers with Belarus and Georgia – had been able to take one of a number of presentable chances that Swansea created in the first half but Artur Boruc was in a defiant mood in Southampton's goal. Taking their cue from Boruc, Southampton dug in, defended with increased resilience and finished ruthlessly.
"I'm fully aware that what we've done up till now doesn't count for anything," Pochettino said. "The players need to be a lot more self-demanding and ambitious and learn how to withstand the great expectation that is being placed on them."
This was Swansea's 14th match of a season that began at the start of August because of their involvement in the Europa League and, as Michael Laudrup pointed out with a shrug and a smile, their seventh in the past 20 days. Even though Laudrup made five changes to the side that beat St Gallen on Thursday night, it was possible to detect a weariness about them early on.
Southampton were eager to take advantage of the extra miles in Swansea's legs. They pressed high up the pitch, well aware of the visitors' ability to play their way out from the back, seeking to force errors and disrupt Swansea's rhythm.
That high-octane style is a hallmark of Pochettino's football and it rattled Swansea. After five minutes, Angel Rangel left the ball to his goalkeeper, Michel Vorm, who thought he had time to take it back into his area and pick it up, failing to realise that Dani Osvaldo was arriving at a furious pace. Vorm just about resisted handling the ball outside his area, eventually winning a goal-kick, but a minute later Osvaldo was through on goal, shooting over under pressure from Chico Flores after Jonjo Shelvey was caught dithering.
It was not a surprise when Southampton took the lead after 19 minutes. After a poor clearance from Jordi Amat, Steven Davis could have shot but was composed enough to cushion a fine pass through to Adam Lallana, who took a touch before blasting a fearsome shot into the roof of the net from the right side of the area.
Southampton could not maintain that intensity, though, and Danny Fox was an accident waiting to happen at left-back in the absence of Luke Shaw, who was ill. Swansea did not take long to work that out and almost every chance they made came from their right flank, where Dyer repeatedly made Fox's life a misery. Boruc made brilliant saves from headers by Michu, who was playing with a rugby scrum cap after the head injury he suffered against St Gallen, and Bony. He also dived low to his left to push away a rasping drive from Shelvey. Then Bony's backheel released Dyer, whose shot hit the inside of the post.
"He made some good saves and he had a good friend in the post," Laudrup said. "In some games, we need too many chances to score. We have to be a little more convinced that we can score."
Southampton grew edgy, mistakes creeping into their game. However, to Pochettino's credit, he reacted to the change in momentum by replacing Osvaldo with James Ward-Prowse's diligence in midfield. It was an astute substitution, one that gave Southampton more balance, and Victor Wanyama thought he had sealed the points when he prodded Ward-Prowse's corner past Vorm from a yard, only for Mike Dean to disallow the goal for an apparent foul. In the interests of balance, it was not a corner in the first place.
With seven minutes left, Amat and Flores made a hash of dealing with a long kick from Boruc, allowing Jay Rodriguez, on for Rickie Lambert, to steal in and send a low finish to Vorm's left. The assist went to Boruc, which seemed fitting given his earlier heroics.
