Silver as an Investment in Mumbai
Silver is considered to be a good option to hedge against inflation. Even in times of crisis, precious metals such as silver tend to have good resale value, and a decently large market to sell in. Silver is available both in physical form and as contracts on national exchanges. Silver can be bought and sold in the market any time you wish to, however when buying and selling products such as artefacts and ornaments, you should know that the resale value will be lower than the purchase value due to workmanship done on the silver before.
Physical silver: Physical silver is available in bullions including bars and ingots from the major dealers in the city. A point to note here is that bullions are generally available in larger quantities, and as such you should only buy from established players as they offer a certain security and guarantee of the quality of silver. Silver coins also form an integral part of silver purchases in Mumbai, with the smaller coins being easy to buy and sell. Coins are mostly available from private dealers and banks. Banks sell silver coins at a premium over market rates, with guarantee on the quality and quantity. Silver products such as jewelry, idols, silverware, glasses, and others are also popular in Mumbai, and can be purchased from the hundreds of stores spread throughout the city.
Silver contracts: Silver contracts can be purchased from one of the two exchanges namely MCX and NCDEX. These contracts are available for a few months in a year and offer silver in both bulk and small quantities (base weight is generally 1 kg). Silver contracts are not available as spot contracts, meaning that purchased silver will not be delivered right away.

Silver Prices Rose, Gold Prices Fall Due To Dip In Demand
The price of gold fell by Rs.300 for 10 grams due to a slump in demand on Thursday, 30th March, 2017. The price of gold fell to Rs.29,250 for 10 grams in trading in Delhi on 30th March, 2017, a drop that was attributed to a dip in demand from local jewellers.
Weak overseas demand for the yellow metal coupled with a rise in the U.S. Dollar rate also contributed to a decline in the price of gold.
Gold prices fell globally as well, trading at $1,250.60 per ounce in Singapore, registering a loss of 0.22% in value.
Silver prices rose, trading at Rs.42,300 per kg on 30th March, 2017, an increase of Rs.50 per kg. The rise in silver prices was attributed to increased offtake from industrial units and coin makers.

Silver Takes a Slight Dip while Gold Steadies
Gold has steadied on account of the falling US Dollar against an umbrella of major currencies, world stock markets have edged further and oil prices have seen losses as a result of failure by oil producers to agree an output freeze.
After an output freeze deal by OPEC and non – OPEC producers fell apart on Sunday, Brent crude futures dropped as low as 7 percent. However, due to a Kuwaiti workers' strike, the country's output was slashed by more than half, thereby steadying the prices.
Spot gold dipped 0.2 percent at US$ 1, 233.35 an ounce. US futures for June delivery went up 0.03 percent at US$ 1, 235 an ounce. The US Federal Reserve previously raised their interest rates in December of last year, however, they have since slowed down the pace on their subsequent increases as a direct response to risk a slowdown in the global economy that could be more severe than anticipated. Charles Evans, the Chicago Fed President, on Friday said that the Feds are still on track for at least the next two increases for the rest of this year.
Bernard Dahdah, a Natixis analyst is of the opinion that gold prices will be likely to stay supported around US$ 1260 even in the second quarter, ahead of the rate increase by the US Federal Reserve which might take effect in July. Assets in the SPDR Gold Trust, which is the largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund in the world, rose towards its first increase in a week on Friday. Having said this, the physical demand for gold in key markets including India and China are being contained on account of higher gold prices.
Bullish bets on gold have been raised to the highest by money managers and hedge funds since the October of 2012. US Government data on Friday showed that in the week of April 12, the value of silver in relation to gold surged by the most in 2 and a half years. According to the UBS Wealth Management Research, a stabilization of the industrial application demand can allow silver to find a floor in 2016 with a 3 month futures forecast of US$16.20 an ounce.
Spot silver fell 0.1 percent at US$16.21 an ounce, platinum fell 1.1 percent to US$ 971.20 and palladium fell 0.1 per cent at US$ 565.
19th April 2016
Weak Global Market Drags Silver Down by Rs. 272
Silver prices on Thursday declined by 0.78 percent to Rs. 34,417 per kg in futures trading. The fall was attributed to the weak global market and profit-booking by traders indulging in speculation.
Silver for delivery in March fell by Rs. 272 per kg in business done for 8,429 lots. Silver for delivery in May saw a price decline of Rs. 245 (0.70 percent) to Rs 34,768 per kg, in a turnover of 123 lots.
Internationally, silver prices decreased by 0.74 per cent to $14.05 an ounce in London in early trade.

Quantitative distribution of the alpha particle activity by nuclear emulsion techniques is applied to very fine-grained rocks. The specimens used are felsite from Loch Ba (Scotland), trachyte from Mhoire Choire (Scotland), oligoclase andesite and trachytes from Hawaii, and two basalts from Greenland. The distribution of radioactivity was found to be similar to that of other igneous rocks. More than 50 percent of the feldspar activity originates from inclusions in the feldspar. Total radioactivity showed an increase with silica and potassium content but not with the sodium content.

What first stands out at Samueli Academy is what's not there: No narrow hallways lined with clanging lockers. No classrooms with only tiny security windows through which to peer. No orderly rows of desks – or any desks, for that matter.
What is there is sunlight, streaming through the generous windows that embrace the three-story building. Common areas where students debate, collaborate or just collapse on stylish couches. Classrooms where wheeled tables and chairs can be moved for group work, where walls come down, literally, so that English and history classes, say, can team up on Greek mythology or the Gilded Age.
"There are no closed-off spaces," says Tracy Boxeth, an instructional aide and mother of two teenage boys at the Santa Ana charter high school. "It's kind of one big community. They know the teachers who aren't even their teachers yet."
So many features of this 3-year-old school's first building are meant to reflect the porous borders between teachers and subjects, between the outdoors and indoors, between scholarship and work. Elegant design alone can't make those connections. But it can make this type of interdisciplinary learning easier.
"Furniture should move; it should have wheels. There should be an ability to reconfigure, to take that topic your teacher brings you, go into small groups, then go back in front of the class and share your ideas," says Wendy Rogers, an architect who oversees K-12 projects for LPA Inc., the Irvine-based design firm that worked on the Samueli building.
LPA is burnishing its reputation in educational design with similar cutting-edge projects across California, including an arts academy in South Lake Tahoe and San Diego's new e3 Civic High, located in a downtown library. Add up its work in California and Texas, and LPA has nearly 630 schools and colleges under its belt. But the firm's Orange County turf has turned out to be one of its biggest showcases, with a striking lineup that includes the new Richard Neutra-inspired interdisciplinary classroom building at Orange Coast College, the Corona del Mar High School performing arts center and the proposed preschool for the Environmental Nature Center in Newport Beach.
Driving such design work is a growing emphasis on "project-based learning" – where students work together on a problem or perhaps an engineering or art project. It's also inspired by the big interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM); the so-called maker movement of artisans and techies; and even the controversial Common Core standards in public education, which promote overlap of subjects as well as collaboration among students.
"All these things reinvent the notion of the self-contained classroom," says Dr. Cynthia Uline, executive director of San Diego State's National Center for the 21st Century Schoolhouse.
That reinvention requires spaces that can adapt. In Samueli teacher Dea Riha's 11th-grade English class, students are working with the history class next door on a project that asks the question: Can money buy happiness? She and her colleague turn a crank, which causes the wall separating their classrooms to part as easily as a theater curtain. She talks "Great Gatsby"; he talks Gilded Age history.
Could it work if their classrooms were designed in a more traditional way? Probably, she says, but it would be harder. For one thing, they'd have to find a room big enough for all their students, without interrupting other teachers. "This," she says of her setup at Samueli, "is controlled chaos."
Research backs up some of the links between learning and design. Multiple studies have shown that natural light, ventilation and moderate temperatures create a good learning environment. A study of United Kingdom schools, published in 2013, went even further, suggesting that a combination of factors – from lighting and acoustics to personalized spaces and flexible classrooms – could influence students' academic progress by as much as 25 percent.
At Samueli, head of school Anthony Saba knows it can be hard to quantify the impact of design. Will the exposed ceilings, revealing a puzzle of beams and joists, inspire a student to get into engineering? Will classroom tables, purposely curved where each chair goes, give students a sense of privacy amid the group work?
Most public schools don't have the luxury of starting from scratch as Samueli did, he acknowledged. "You don't have to do it this way," Saba says. "But, I don't know, it just feels different."
Thinking about this relationship between learning and design is hardly a novel concern. Progressive reformers in the 1930s were preaching the importance of learning-by-doing over lectures and rote memorization – a way of thinking that inspired a new generation of architects, such as renowned modernist Neutra, to design free-flowing buildings that had lots of daylight and access to the outdoors.
And then there was the less sleek precursor to contemporary efforts: the open-school movement of the 1960s and 1970s, in which walls were torn down and children taught in single large rooms. Teams of teachers collaborated with one another, using movable dividers to reconfigure the space for large- and small-group projects.
But in the mid-1970s there was a call for a return to basics, as teachers complained the rooms were too noisy and distracting. Some schools even rebuilt their walls.
Over the past few years, the hunt has been on for the "21st-century school." In 2011, the California Department of Education commissioned a "schools of the future" report. One of its recommendations? Renovate and upgrade schools to encourage project-based learning. Many schools are struggling with basic maintenance costs, and most of the state's classrooms are well over 25 years old. The report called for a funding formula that would "avoid the presumption that all students should sit in rows of desks in a square room in the 21st century."
Yet most still are, conceded Rogers of LPA. She was speaking at the company's Irvine office near UCI, joined by Franco Brown, the LPA designer who oversees higher education projects.
In some ways, their sleek office, filled with other crisply dressed professionals, has many of the elements – and buzzwords – they'd been discussing in educational design: "collaboration spaces," open floor design, natural lighting, and walls and tables that double as dry-erase boards.
Brown, in fact, says his contacts at colleges frequently ask him for updates on what types of changes corporations are making in their offices.
"It's kind of amazing when you look at how our work environment has changed," says
Rogers. "And yet classrooms … some of them are basically the same configuration. If you can't move, how does that address how I move when I need to do things, or if I have ADHD? There are just so many more things we know about ourselves as humans."
And even more about what we don't yet know. What will education even look like in 20 years? Some educators speak of class days designed around projects, rather than set school times. Some have even predicted technology could replace much of the teaching force. There have been stories about Silicon Valley tech giant employees going in the other direction, sending their own children to Waldorf schools, where there is no computer in sight.
While school design could be on the cusp of big changes, it will no doubt have to change again, as pedagogy does. And maybe that's the real question: How to design a school that will endure amid changes in how we teach?
Rogers says that's what keeps things interesting for educational designers. She's more excited about the potential for design to allow a greater human touch than anxious about what technology might do.
Indeed, Samueli junior Gwen Martin was quick to describe her appreciation of small details – how they made her feel – when asked about the new building. At her old middle school, getting up in class made her self-conscious: her desk chair screeched and she felt all eyes on her as she navigated the rows of classmates. At Samueli, no one stares at the student moving around, because everyone is moving around. "You're not on stage," she says.
Instructional aide Boxeth says she and other staffers have noticed it's harder to pin down cliques at Samueli. Though there are groups of friends, she says, the borders seem porous – something she attributes to all the group work, which requires students work with a variety of classmates.
It's all an experiment in progress, of course. Samueli graduates its first class next year. Having helped shape what the campus looks like, Rogers says she's fascinated by how the school will, in turn, shape its graduates. "How does it affect who they become?" she says. "It's very exciting."

We stayed at this hotel from September 8 through September 14, 2009. Everything about the hotel is outstanding. Snorkeling in front of the hotel rivaled our trip to Molokini. The new serenity pool is magnificent, although we chose to sit in the cabanas on most of our days. Don't miss the free outrigger canoe rides.
What surprised me most about the hotel was dinner at Spago, (which is located in the hotel) I've read many negative reviews on TripAdvisor about this restaurant, and I was pleasantly surprised with the excellent service and really excellent food we received. It was the best dinner we had on Maui; and it was right in the hotel! The manager even accommodated our request for a nice view by giving us the best table in the restaurant. And here's a tip for you… We happened to be in Costco on Maui to buy a camera, and we noticed they sell Spago gift cards. At the time of writing, you could get $100 in gift cards for $80; so I bought $200 in gift cards for $160. (our dinner with drinks and two desserts was a little over $200) On our last night, we had dinner at Duo which is in the Four Seasons also. We found the service to be slow, and the food OK but not great. I would recommend spending a little more money going to Spago twice. And of course, if it's your first time on Maui, don't miss Mama's Fish House!
One irritating thing... $14 per day for internet service??? Come on Four Seasons... join the modern world and make it free to guests! :( Also be aware that there's no free parking. It was $20 per day, but the valets are very responsive and very, very nice. I found that to be almost worth it.
Thanks to the staff at the Four Seasons for a GREAT vacation!! We'll be back early in 2010!

Cancer Survivors
And for a small digression in the celebration of life: the origin of H E double hockey sticks. At some point in the past the extended distaff side of Evan's house has felt that the use of the term 'Hell" in actually naming the place of eternal resting place of the damned souls of this world was tantamount to high blasphemy and use of the actual word could potentially condemn the user to permanent reservation to this warmer retirement locale. In deference to the concept that a vulgar mouth is an uneducated mouth and given the propensity of the writer of these posts to avoid the difficult subjects, it has been deemed necessary by the editorial board to both use H E double hockey sticks and to then explain what that means and how it came into use.
All of the above is a simple summation of the fact that Evan is very much alive today, that we are all cancer survivors of some measure, and that we should seize and celebrate life to the fullest at every opportunity. Each day thousands of people will succumb to cancer, but for today as you read this you are, and we are, surviving. Surviving not just by living, but by living this day to the fullest of our ability as we seek to lift the burdens of those around us.
One post three years ago detailed that each span of time had the opportunity to render good situations, bad circumstances, and outright ugly results. For the sake of repetition, it was decided not to reuse the title, but the last week in Evan's life is best framed in those simple terms. For any possible excess angst related to the 'bad' section to be discussed, we advise the audience to look away, cover your ears or enjoy the juicy descriptions of some of the relative stupidity that confronts Evan on a near daily basis. Please remember that ignorance can be educated, but stupid is a lifelong condition.
For the good: Evan has had a couple of his best days in the past 2-3 months in the last week. He has moved from one small meal a day to 2 plus snacks, as a result his weight may now stabilize around 88 lbs. He has voluntarily gone foraging for food, and ventured from his self-imposed seclusion to active engagement of people to facilitate getting things that he wants. Most importantly from the caregiver standpoint is that he has re-entertained the concept that he was in fact borne for nine months by his mother and not hatched under a rock or via incubator. This is equivalent of nothing short of a breakthrough in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and given the general nature of the mother-son teenage relationship this breakthrough in such short time is being considered by the Nobel Academy committee for both World Peace and Medicine.
The week was capped by a successful hunting trip in the local Lego store with the pelts of 5 new models being prepared by the taxidermist for display. The trip was made especially memorable by the presence of Amy Arundale, a family friend who just happened to be in DC for the day and stopped by with hugs and kisses sneaked past undeclared at the NIH border patrol and customs agency.
Claims for the source of these improvements might have come from the end of radiation therapy, new dosing of anti-depressant, better parenting, tacos 4 nights out of 5, dumb luck or divine intervention. But since Evan isn't in a research study anymore and is just in the battle for his life, no one cares, most especially him. Sometimes life is just better, and you are glad for that just because it is.
And now for the bad, knowing that you have been forewarned and forehumored so that you do not pick up the device you are reading this on and throwing it the nearest wall/bus/asphalt surface. It should be a foregone conclusion that when a family is faced with preparing for end of life decisions that everyone would seek to be as helpful and supportive as possible. And for the most part they are; however, for your amusement let this be a first forum on some of the inanities that we have faced while approaching hospice through our soon to be 'prior' North Carolina medical gatekeepers.
Hospice is intended to provide patients and their families support at the greatest time of need as a potential end of life event becomes a present reality. However, some people believe that this is Jack Kevorkian territory in that if you ask for hospice care you should want to die and as a result should if not doing everything to take your own life, you surely shouldn't be doing anything to prevent it happening as soon as possible. It has been shared that because Evan will continue to take chemotherapy drug to facilitate the highest quality of life, and because this chemo (like all the others) might actually save his life, he is not eligible for hospice care. In the parlance of the day, WTF?
So as we interpret this interpretation of the rules, if you are seeking hospice care and you have a headache, use of aspirin would eliminate a person from consideration because it might stop a potential heart attack. There is a very popular tweenager game called 'Would You Rather . . .?' where two diametrically opposed situations are presented as extremes and you are asked to consider which you would prefer to do. One such question: Would you rather eat an 1/8th of an acre of grass or drink a 3 ft by 3 ft by 3ft puddle of rain water? Our question from the hospice: Would you rather Evan face the consequences of 30+ tumors in his lungs or . . . ? Does it really matter if you deny the person the dignity to die in peace and instead force them to suffer as they go? Arrrrggggghhhhh!!!!
Assuming you still have a functioning e-reader at this moment, we shall arrive at ugly, or the funny, or the downright – are you kidding me? Late Friday afternoon a series of major thunderstorms ravaged the Washington DC area, and NIH was not unaffected. The Children's Inn which sits on this approximately mile square facility has been Evan's home away from home for 7 of the last 10 weeks. During this time the Inn has been undergoing a series of improvements and upgrades including the installation of new carpet and Google TV in each of the resident's rooms. Additionally, the exterior playground is being prepared for a major upgrade this summer.
The playground design team, KABOOM!, only does one playground a year because of the scope and intensity of the design requirements for each project they undertake. At The Children's Inn the design process had to accommodate infants to adults in a manner that anyone regardless of circumstance might find some measure of play, peace and life enjoyment when they are in the playground. This is no small order for the healthiest of populations. On Wednesday night the design team came to dinner and in an interactive presentation revealed what was going to happen on the back hill behind the Inn. There were balloons and bandanas, markers, paper and ideas were shared. Many of the kids wanted to have some form of water features in the playground, but due to design/health limitations none were going to be added, until . . .
In an effort to avoid flooding from the hill behind the Inn, the playground was being updated to among other things include a large storm drain for runoff that had plagued the Inn in the past. As terrain modifying construction had already begun, the storm drain in place, there was a desire to reduce the silt going into the drain, so it was covered with a fine mesh, while the rest of the hill was covered with plastic to also reduce the runoff. This had the effect of creating a pool outside the back windows of the main room of the Inn. As the rains came down, and it did come down in torrents, the rainwater runoff created a 4 ft pool of rain water.
The NIH Fire Department came and pumped out the pool, the maintenance man went knee deep into the remaining water and uncovered the storm drain, which when not covered, worked quite well. And the residents of the Inn had quite the family night watching an emergency unfold before their eyes as they gazed on from the balcony overlooking the great room flood and stream of 2012 at The Children's Inn.
What does all this mean? It means that so long as you can see life as it is lived, you can celebrate today. There is an adage that many goalkeepers and weekend warriors ascribe to, "The pain lets you know that you are alive" but if all you have ever known or all you have come to know is pain, you never get to know you are alive until you smile until your heart is warm or laugh until tears run down your face. Yesterday we lived, so today we are cancer survivors. How about you?

Ridge Michaels and Trace Kendall are treating us to this hot blowjob swapping session in this video from Falcon Studios. These two guys are really into each other, and with stiffening cocks bulging in their pajamas, it's not long before they're sucking dick. Ridge pulls his hard cock out of his pj's and start stroking it, but seeing the boner popping in Trace's pajamas, Ridge doesn't wait for his buddy to release his cock - he gets down on his knees and fishes it out for himself.
Ridge swallows Trace hard cock eagerly and greedily, and Trace just lies back and enjoys. And then these guys get creative: Ridge lies down on the floor and Trace does push-ups over top of his buddy and fucks his mouth. Trace is strong, but he can't go on forever like this, so the guys fall into a 69 cock sucking frenzy. I'm quite impressed with Trace and how well he can swallow Ridge's big, throbbing meat stick down his throat.
And when Ridge is ready to blow his wad, he lets loose and hits Trace in the face. In a tit for tat, Trace's start to unload and he unleashes a thick load that oozes onto Ridge's face. Trace cleans up Ridge's face and then these two hot guys finish things off with a kiss.
