Such alternatives (i.e. order vs. virtue) are echoed in…
The rape and murder of Vidya: Do women really matter in Sri Lanka?25 May 2015 | 10:18 pmEditors note: Original image was taken from Icarus Wept.

Histrionics of the "I am right so you must be wrong camp" aside, over email and calls, more informed and reasoned requests were made and valid reasons given to not use the photo as it was originally published. 'The War Photo No One Would Publish', referenced in the comments below, is an interesting take on the optics and politics of using photography to purposefully shock. On the other…

I find it hard to believe that a man in his position can be so completely tone deaf. The embattled general manager of the Philadelphia Phillies stuck his foot firmly in his pie hole the other day and then spent Tuesday trying to put out the fire. Amaro was being interviewed by a local television station about the current state of the team and the organization. Things have gone bad for the Phils in the last few years, with the euphoria of the 2008 World Series title well in the rearview mirror at this point. After winning a…
Twelve hours and two minutes in one day is a lot of TV watching for any generation25 May 2015 | 8:29 amAdults lament it all the time and I have lamented it here: Kids watch too much TV and generally look at screens too much. Researchers have quantified their screen-viewing in all kinds of worrisome ways: Too much screen time may even inhibit their ability to read emotions. It's bad, people. But what is perhaps really bad is that the behavior, as with most behaviors of the youth, is so unself-aware, so mindless. Does it have to be that way? No. Why do I say this? Well, for the first time in a public forum, I want to share something with you: My own TV watching log from March 1979 to May…

Sure, you could crank out all sorts of data, but storing it to magnetic discs or (worse yet) tape was a nightmare.Hard drives have made things considerably more reliable through the years, but a problem remains — that hard drive isn't perfect, so what can one do to protect data should that piece of hardware fail?The answer is easy enough — get some good backup software. But, what kind of software should you get? That can be a hard question to answer, but a solid suggestion is to check out the best free backup software…
The writing of a Master's Thesis can be complicated30 Mar 2015 | 12:43 pmMost master students are in stressful careersA large portion of students who have continued with their studies after they have received their respective degrees are mostly fully engaged in a professional career. By this time it takes a tremendous amount of discipline and perseverance to cope with the demands of a Master's degree while simultaneously staying on track with your career. In order to satisfy the minimum requirements of most educational institutions such a thesis will require extensive research and a lot of notes will have to be compiled which will then eventually be converted…
Benton 'mercy rules' Parkview, gears up for El Dorado21 Nov 2014 | 8:57 pmThe Benton Panthers got one step closer to the Class 6A high school football championship game on Friday night by beating Parkview 49-28.Since Benton was undefeated this season and won the 6A South, the Panthers drew a bye during the first round of the playoffs last week. The team easily handled Parkview tonight, having pulled ahead by 35 points in the third quarter. When a team is ahead by 35 points in the second half, the sportsmanship rule (a.k.a. the mercy rule) kicks in meaning that the clock runs without stopping until the end of the game.Parkview scored a couple of touchdowns to pull…
'Star Wars Holiday Special' – more proof that the 1970s were weird16 Nov 2014 | 10:26 pmThe 1970s was an odd decade, indeed.Sure, you had some cultural landmarks set during those 10 years — the first Star Wars film, Smoky and the Bandit and the incredible gain in popularity of the National Football League, to name a few.But for every cultural landmark in the 1970s, it seems there were two or three things that make one wonder what the heck was wrong with people in the 1970s. Think of the total oddness of the Jimmy Carter presidency, KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park or disco, for instance. Add to that list The Star Wars Holiday Special — a two-hour slice of misery…
Benton to face Parkview on Nov. 2116 Nov 2014 | 12:02 pmThe Benton Panthers will square off against Parkview on Friday, Nov. 21 in the second round of the Class 6A playoff game.Benton, which won the 6A South Conference with a 9-0-1 record, won a bye in the first round of the playoffs on Nov. 14. The Panthers' goal, of course, is to advance to the state championship game to be played at War Memorial Stadium on Dec. 5.To get to that game, however, the Panthers will have to take care of Parkview at home on Friday and then defeat another opponent on Nov. 28.For those keeping score at home, Benton defeated Parkview 28-19 in an away game on 9/26.

Florida Seniors Health - The Good And The Bad29 May 2015 | 9:00 amA new study from America's Health Ranking indicates Florida seniors did well on some counts but not so well on others.This study of state's senior health ranks Florida number 27 out of the 50 states for senior health characteristics. Vermont was ranked No. 1, and Louisiana was ranked last. Florida did well on community spending for seniors, as well as a low rate of seniors who have fallen in the past year.

The EAEU is often called a 'union of dictators' for the known reasons. In Armenia, there are concerns that accession to the EAEU will deteriorate the problems with democracy…
I don't think that the EAEU is 'often' called as a 'union of dictators.' No one except liberal journalists uses such expressions. I don't know what 'known reasons' do you mean, but Russia, Belarus, Armenia and Kazakhstan are known in the world as rather democratic countries. There is no limit to perfection, though. Nevertheless, speaking of dictatorship is rather odd in such case. I don't think that accession to this inter-state union that, unfortunately, has only one - economic component, may create any problems with democracy. Are there any restrictions on the free elections, peaceful assemblies or independent press in Armenia? Does the EAEU seek to make such restrictions? At least, look at how openly we discuss all this. Doesn't it mean that everything is good? We should not consider the West as the etalon of democracy, should we?
Member of the Board - Minister in charge of the Development of Integration and Macroeconomics Tatiana Valovaya has recently expressed confidence that Armenia's joining the Eurasian Economic Union will increase the investment attraction of the republic and Armenia will become a field for the Customs Union states and other states to make investments. However, it is not clear, how Armenia's joining the EAEU is beneficial to the rest members of the Union in the economic sense. Or maybe politics will recompense everything?
I fully agree with Valovaya that it is really beneficial to Armenia to join the EAEU. As for the political component, the situation on Armenia's joining the EAEU is rather simple. The complex geo-political situation in the world requires strict definition: the West or Russia, that is the question! And if the Russian Federation ensures Armenia's military security, and de-facto, its existence as a state, is there any sense to try to have good relations with permanent enemies of Russia?
A few days ago Ambassador of Russia to Armenia Ivan Volynkin told journalists that the sale of TOS-1A heavy flamethrower systems and T-90 tanks to Azerbaijan was nothing but commerce. Won't that Russian-Azeri "commerce" lead to a new war in Nagorno-Karabakh in light of more and more incidents reported from the border?
Commerce is certainly a vice. Let's assume that our Ambassador has used a wrong word. The real problem here is that Azerbaijan can afford buying arms and not only from Russia and that war is the only way for the Azeris – at least in theory – to solve the Nagorno-Karabakh problem in their favor. There will be the threat of a new war in Nagorno-Karabakh as long as this conflict remains a geopolitical problem.
I think the conflicting parties should try to maintain the status quo. But the world is changing as quickly as is growing the number of insane politicians and journalists. All this is fraught with both local and global risks, which has been proved by the events in Ukraine.
Experts are seriously concerned over the high threat of the rapidly developing crisis in Ukraine to the U.S.-France-Russia cooperation over Karabakh conflict as part of the OSCE MG…
Frankly speaking, I cannot understand what cooperation is in question. I think the fruitless meetings of the OSCE MG Co-Chairs will be continued also in future. They will adopt no decisions. This became evident yet long ago. Nevertheless, an inefficient negotiating format is better than military actions," she said for conclusion.
The first meeting with the president-elect Petro Poroshenko with Barack Obama openly indicated that neither the loss of Crimea nor the threat of the country's spliting into two parts is able to re-orientate Kyev from the West to the East. What scenario of developments do you anticipate?
What we are witnessing in Ukraine is a real civil war. Much there will depend on what Russia will do. More and more people are showing displeasure with the Kremlin's policy and demand more active interference in the events in Ukraine on both diplomatic and military levels. And this is natural as most of the Russians regard Ukraine as part of the all-Russian mental and geopolitical community and have lots of friends and relatives in that country.
The bloodshed continuing in Ukraine for several weeks already is horrifying and I am sure that Russia must interfere. Time will show in what a form this will be done. In any case, the political and economic chaos in Ukraine will continue to grow and this is fair: those who have voted for Petro Poroshenko are worthy of this. Anyway, I have no doubts that Ukraine will finally come under Russia's influence and join the EAEU as a full member of it.

Just like you, Ann Voskamp hungers to live her one life well. Forget the bucket lists that have us escaping our everyday lives for exotic experiences. "How", Ann wondered, "do we find joy in the midst of deadlines, debt, drama, and daily duties? What does the Christ-life really look like when your days are gritty, long - and sometimes even dark? How is God even here?'
In One Thousand Gifts, Ann invites you to embrace everyday blessings and embark on the transformative spiritual discipline of chronicling God's gifts. It's only in this expressing of gratitude for the life we already have, we discover the life we've always wanted... a life we can take, give thanks for, and break for others. We come to feel and know the impossible right down in our bones: we are wildly loved - by God.
Let Ann's beautiful, heart-aching stories of the everyday give you a way of seeing that opens your eyes to ordinary amazing grace, a way of being present to God that makes you deeply happy, and a way of living that is finally fully alive. Come live the best dare of all!
©2011 Ann Voskamp (P)2011 Zondervan
"Highly Over-Rated!!!!"
Over-dramatic and complete opposite of finding happiness in SIMPLE living.
No good.... her voice alone is pretty irritating honestly, with a side dish of bad actress.
I picked up a good or mildly enlightening point every 45 minutes (if that often). "Gift List" is a great idea and I will likely do it, however the story is unnerving when she spends an insane amount of words to, for example, add soap bubbles to the "gift" list. She dramatically describes the miracle bubbles for 30+ minutes, while barely mentioning her children playing in the yard.... I think she missed the boat.
NOT a live-changing book. The publisher's summary blows Voskamp's writing away and sets the potential reader up for great disappointment.
"LOVE this book!!!!! Best audio book ever."
The poetic style of the writing and the authors lovely reading voice.
Bittersweet and Cold Tangerines, both by author Shauna Niequist.
Above the clouds light never stops shining.
Belief is a verb, something we do.
Joy is always worth waiting for.
Best audiobook I've come across. Hope the author will publish many more.
I have seen this book dozen's of times and wanted to purchase, however, with other needs at hand, didn't....until the other day. A friend of mine strongly suggested the book, and after downloading the amazing app, I found I could no longer wait. I weighed the options of paperback vs. audio, and concluded the chances were much greater to listen on my drive in to work due to my very busy schedule. And what a gift! I found Ann's voice almost meditative. Her words penetrate my soul in a way I haven't felt in years. The beauty of her words for every single grateful moment had me in tears, laughing, and absolutely absorbing every word like a child soaks up Christmas morning! She brings me back to this soul creativity within me that is and has been aching to get out. I know this book will be listened to over and over and over! I am grateful for One Thousand times for One Thousand different reasons!
I will continue counting grateful moments via the awesome iphone app and inevitably am finding blessings, gratitude and God at ever increasing speeds, yet time is in fact slowing down as I enjoy each one!
Number 11, Ann Voskamp...A breath of fresh air, speaking life and words of God's impeccable truth from the depth of your soul with beautiful real experience infiltrated throughout! Thank you!
Her soothing and beautiful voice. You feel her passion, her emotion.
"A gift!"
There is no greater gift to give to yourself, to others, or God than the gift of thanksgiving. This book is to be savored. Truly one of the best books I've read.
My eyes were opened to the gifts all around me.
I would highly recommend this book! It would also make a perfect gift.
"Lenten Book Study"
I read and listened to this book as a Lenten Book study with a church group lead by our Pastor. I started my own list of 1000 Thank you's, as most in the group did. There were parts of this book that were wonderful - about her spiritual journey - but she seemed so distant from her children. At times I wondered - while you are writing about your spiritual journey, who is watching your 6 kids?? It was great listening to the author read her work as I read along & made notes in my book. In this unsettled Country, it was good to be reminded that we have so much to be thankful for. Very up-lifting!
"Nice story, but too wordy"
Yes and no. I like the initial story, but the detail on every day things is just redundant. I would recommend it for someone who wanted to meditate on thankfulness,but the rest of it seems like a great short story or blog post. Great message. . . .but too much.
The best part of the story was her initial experience as a child and how she translated gratefulness out of that into every part of her life.
The least interesting was every last detail of mundane things in her life.
Probably not unless I heard that it was less wordy.
Insightful, encouraging, honest
She has a very honest way of telling her story to the point of helping the reader think,
Chasing the beauty...getting lost in the offerings God delights to show us Through creation AND the Paris experience.
It made me think of areas in my life where I need to be more thankful.
"Best book I have ever read."
I have listened to it again and again. Ann has a God given gift with words.
It talked to my heart.
It was like listening to her in person.
It changed my everyday life. I am looking at the world with new eyes. I have never read a book that I have purchased so many of for gifts.
I hope and pray she keeps writing. I would buy and give any book she writes.
Read or listen. From the beginning the picture painted is vivid and took me to where Ann was, yet I could feel my world too, different, yet intertwined. May I continue to live in the place of grace, full grace, for myself and towards others.
Very easy to listen to, well read.
Yes! But time did not allow.
"Incredible writer"
Top 5
Ann and family
Soap bubbles
Ann is one of the best writers I have ever read or listened to. To think she is a farmers wife with 6 kids and not have even finished college makes this book even more amazing!

Market Data
The New Zealand sharemarket finished up 11 points today on the back of a rebound from Fletcher Building and a strong result from retirement village operator Summerset Group.
The NZX rose 0.28 per cent to 4226.4 points with Summerset leading gainers and telecommunications infrastructure provider Chorus leading decliners after it increased its capital expenditure forecasts.
On the currency, the New Zealand dollar was trading at US83.62 cents, up from US83.53 cents this morning.
Summerset reported a 243 per cent earnings jump this morning, driven by a second year of record occupation-right sales and care-fee growth.
Chorus also reported a "pleasing" $84 million interim net profit, but it warned it would cost $300m more than expected to build its share of the ultrafast broadband network.
First NZ Capital's head of institutional equities James Lee said the market had reacted to the uncertainty and cost related to the restatement.
''Whilst the baseline number was better than market expectations, the increase to the cap ex will be one of the questions marks to see whether they get a return on that extra spend,'' Lee said.
On the NZX, 22 stocks rose, 16 declined and 12 were flat across the day.
Summerset gained 3.2 per cent to $2.56, Trade Me Group was up 3 per cent to $4.44 and Pumpkin Patch rose 2.2 per cent to $1.40.
Sky Network Television grew 1.9 per cent to $5.30, jeweller Michael Hill gained 1.6 per cent to $1.25 and Fisher & Paykel Healthcare up 1.6 per cent to $2.56.
Fletcher Building gained 1.1 per cent to $8.78.
Of the decliners, Chorus dropped 3.3 per cent to $2.94, OceanaGold Corp fell 2.1 per cent to $2.76 and Warehouse Group declined 2 per cent to $3.43.
Heartland Bank fell 1.3 per cent to 72 cents, Kathmandu Holdings 1.2 per cent to $2.40 and Property For Industry 1.2 per cent to $1.25.
On the currency the Kiwi dollar was up slightly against the Greenback compared to this morning.
Direct FX trader Sam Coxhead said HSBC's chinese purchasing manaufacturers index figures were slightly weaker than expected which helped New Zealand's currency against teh Australian dollar.

Did you know? Type O Blood was actually meant to be Type Zero blood, due to the lack of glycoproteins in the red blood cells. It was misread and is now called Type "O" blood. I guess you could call it a typo.

Preparation of Silver Tetraiodomercurate(II) for a demonstration.
Silver Tetraiodomercurate(II) is a quite special compound, since it's thermochromic. It changes color from yellow to orange/red when heated: http://labphoto.tumblr.com/post/111304710632/yesterday-i-posted-about-fluorescence
Silver Tetraiodomercurate (Ag2HgI4) is yellow at room temperature, but when it's heated above 50 °C, it turns orange. Since the color change is reversible, when it is cooled back to room temperature, the color changes back to its original color.
The compound was prepared from mercury(II)-iodide (that red powder on the first picture) and some potassium iodide with a little silver nitrate. The silver nitrate was added to the solution of potassium tetraiodomercurate (K2HgI4, what was previously prepared from mercury-iodide and potassium iodide). The addition of the silver salt caused the immediate precipitation of the yellow colored silver tetraiodomercurate (as seen on the gif).
What happened? This:
HgI2 + 2 KI + 2 AgNO3 –> Ag2HgI4 + 2 KNO3
Praise be unto He.

What do you know about environmental analytical chem? Do you think it's a good field to get into? Thanks :-)
I don't really know that much about it, other than that it involves doing very careful measurements of things in the environment (probably things that shouldn't be in the environment).
I would think that it's a great field to get into if it's what interests you! There's a ton of shit in the environment that needs to be accurately measured and understood, and any work that benefits the environment is inherently a good thing.
We need more people working on environmental issues and it you like it, I think you should do it. Go forth and very carefully measure things!

Batteries are a triumph of science—they allow smartphones and other technologies to exist without anchoring us to an infernal tangle of power cables. Yet even the best batteries will diminish daily, slowly losing capacity until they finally die. Why does this happen, and how do our batteries even store so much charge in the first place?

e-Stent Provides Feedback, Therapy Before Dissolving
Every year, an estimated half-million Americans undergo surgery to have a stent prop open a coronary artery narrowed by plaque. But sometimes the mesh tubes get clogged. Scientists report in the journal ACS Nano a new kind of multi-tasking stent that could minimize the risks associated with the procedure. It can sense blood flow and temperature, store and transmit the information for analysis and can be absorbed by the body after it finishes its job.
Doctors have been implanting stents to unblock coronary arteries for 30 years. During that time, the devices have evolved from bare metal, mesh tubes to coated stents that can release drugs to prevent reclogging. But even these are associated with health risks.

Cheyenne's Barn Door Dining Table
Dining Room Spotlight
Cheyenne Weaver's 1930's home in Austin, Texas is full of eclectic, handmade details and DIY projects, but none make her as proud as the dining table she constructed from an old barn door. I love how welcoming it looks sitting in front of those old wood-wrapped windows!
The Cheeriest Dining Chairs Ever: Jake Chairs by Koskela
Dining Spaces
How do I love thee, oh Jake Chair? Let me count the ways: your powder-coated steel frame comes in three fantastically punchy colors, plus black and white. Your wooden seats are lightweight yet sturdy. And my favorite element of all, you have one contrasting wooden leg, which makes you wonderfully off-kilter and visually interesting. I'd like to have six of you, in all colors, sitting around my dining room table, please.
5 Beautiful Spring Flower Arrangements
My two favorite flowers are peonies and tulips, so come Spring I can't help splurging a little when they finally show up at the farmer's market. The peonies I bought last week (in a dashing shade of crimson) are still bright and blooming almost seven days later. I'm a notorious black thumb, so while I'd love to have greenery in my apartment at all times of the year, the sad fact is that most greenery doesn't make it very long in my company. So cut flowers, in their fleeting beauty, are my perfect companion. Here are few lovely Spring bouquets to inspire your kitchen and dining table decor:
In Good Company: Dining Rooms with Beautiful Bookshelves
I was sitting in my dining room the other day when it struck me just how boring the room is. It's furnished with a table. And chairs. And that's it. What if — I began to wonder — one was surrounded by shelves and shelves of books in the dining room? Here are some inspiring examples.
Too Cool: Concrete Dining Tables
Kitchen Inspiration
We love a crisp, cool stone tabletop, especially in the heat of summer. The material seems able to cool a space during the hottest months (which are fast approaching!) but it's oh-so-expensive. Here's an alternative: concrete!
A Sofa Built Into the Kitchen Island from AR-TRE
EuroCucina 2012
Who: AR-TRE, Italian kitchen maker
What We Noticed: I saw a lot of kitchen furnishings at EuroCucina that seemed to flow or blend into other areas of the house. This was one particularly striking example: A sofa built in to the kitchen island/table. A very interesting concept for small spaces or kitchen-dining combos. What do you think? One more photo below...
Crystals, Glamour, & Bling in Kitchen Lighting & Accessories from VG newtrend
EuroCucina 2012
Who: VG newtrend, Italian lighting and kitchen accessories
What We Noticed: Here's another side of EuroCucina 2012: Bling. That's right — I am seeing crystals everywhere — in lighting, on backsplashes, even on cabinet surfaces. This glamorous lighting and tabletop collection was especially striking, although I couldn't quite picture any of it in my home! Click through for a pretty serious example of a chandelier in the kitchen...
Around the Dining Table: Mismatched Eames Chairs
We like the casual look of mismatched dining room chairs, but if the mismatching gets carried away things can look a bit haphazard. Here's a great way to rein in the havoc while keeping a fun, loose vibe: Use the same chair in different colors. And make it even better by using Eames shell chairs!
Curving Walls: 3 Round Dining Rooms
Round dining tables are communal, inviting, and friendly in their shape. So why not take it a step further and think about round dining rooms? Of course, the shape necessitates a circular table, but it also encompasses its occupants in a hug of sorts. Here are three examples of round dining rooms.
Great Idea for a Small Kitchen: Add an Elevated Work Surface to the Table
In this modern farmhouse, the kitchen and dining room are combined in one room. With an eleven-foot-long table, one end of it can easily be dedicated to kitchen work on a typical day. And we love this idea for making it happen:

Hayes 'excited, nervous' about ironman
Relevant offers
When Sally Hayes completed her first half ironman a couple of years ago she quickly declared she wouldn't be attempting a full ironman at any stage.
The thought of adding another half ironman onto what she had just completed was something she wasn't all that keen on - well, so she thought at the time anyway.
Two years on from completing that first half ironman she is just days out from her first ever attempt at the full 3.86km swim, 180.25km bike and 42.2km bike which a full ironman distance race entails.
On Saturday the 25-year-old will line up in the 25-to-29 age group at the New Zealand Ironman in Taupo.
"After my first half ironman I said I'd never do a full one but obviously with a bit more training and a bit more experience under the belt after [the half ironman in] Wanaka I was tempted to try a full one," she said yesterday en route to Taupo.
Her attempt at the New Zealand Ironman race has meant juggling an intense 15 to 20-hours-a-week training schedule with her fulltime job at Sport Southland, where she is involved in event management.
Not surprisingly, it is the swim leg which she singles out as her strongest discipline.
Hayes has an extensive swimming background, starting from when she was 4 years old, and last year she highlighted that by swimming the Challenge Wanaka Half Ironman distance in 26 minutes to break the course record.
Days out from her first full ironman, she admits to plenty of feelings.
"It's a mixed bag of emotions - excited, nervous - I'm just ready to race really."
The first-timer has time targets for each of the legs but wasn't getting too caught up in reaching them. "I've kind of set targets for each section but at the end of the day I don't want to focus on that time and not finish. I'd rather just finish. If I meet my targets that's a bonus."
Hayes is one of nine members of the Southland Triathlon and Multisport Club who will head to Taupo this weekend to compete. She said having that group all with the same goal had helped the buildup. "We've got a fantastic training group. We train hard, have fun, lots of laughs, and get the job done. It's been a good journey this far."

New next iPod Poll, prior iPhone vs. iPod results posted
A new iLounge Poll has been posted to the left-hand column of our main page: "Which of these potential iPods interests you the most?" The poll presents several options, including cheaper current-model iPods, high-end video iPods, and options in-between. Cast your vote now to see the current results!
The last poll, "Which do you want more, an iPhone or a new iPod," ended with interesting results. Nearly 1/3 of those responding said that they were interested in either the 4GB iPhone (3%) or the 8GB iPhone (28%) rather than a current- or next-generation iPod model. However, 56% said that they wanted a next-generation video iPod, with 6% hoping for a next-generation iPod nano, and 1% for a new iPod shuffle. Only 8% said that they didn't want any of these options, as they were satisfied with what they had already.

The US dollar is ending the week on a strong note having rallied strongly against the G10 currencies. Earlier, losses in Asia and Europe were recouped (and then some) when domestic CPI data came in as forecast. The data served to reduce another barrier to the Federal Open Market Committee raising interest rates, with many analysts expecting a move in September.
Loonie's feathers get plucked
By Mark Sturdy
There are many delicately poised factors at work in the government bond markets and the UK gilt market in particular, and their net effect is far from clear. The least predictable of these, as ever, is the price of oil and the politics of the Middle East. They could yet be the decisive factor once again.
Weekly iShares ETF Gilt chart
The market is poised on very powerful support from the prior highs in 2012 and 2013. Note as well that the market has bounced powerfully from this level earlier this year.There is no compelling long or medium-term bear case until the band of support at 12.25-21 is closed beneath in convincing fashion.
Weekly Sept 15 Long Gilt Futures chart
This is slightly more bearish in the short term. Note the small gap that arose on pushing down beneath the prior low.The market has tried to cover that gap, but this has not quite been achieved. It remains (with the prior low at 116.73) as good resistance.The short-term bears would be further emboldened by a break beneath the diagonal (neatly coinciding with a Fibonacci support) and would begin to sell again.
A look at the fundamentalsAs 2015 began and the UK election began to loom large, opinion polls consistently pointed to a hung Parliament or a Labour government propped up by the Scottish National Party. In this environment, the gilt entered a wide trading range.Although political risk was a factor weighing on the Gilt, the UK economic fundamentals were still to good to warrant a bear market in UK government bonds. Among the factors aiding bonds were the following:
1. Inflation was low and set to fall further on the then-collapsing oil price.2. Growth was holding up well.3. The coalition government remained committed to fixing the public finances.4. Interest rates were still at historic lows and looked set to remain there.Fast-forward five months to the present and what has changed?The UK general election delivered a surprise overall majority for the Conservative party, so the job of reducing the budget deficit and debt to GDP ratio continues.Inflation has for the first time in decades turned negative; the UK is in deflation.The government is achieving its goal of reducing the budget deficit, as evidenced by today's PSNCR and PSNB data, and interest rates look set to remain at current low levels until at least the middle of next year and perhaps even longer if the Bank of England's latest forecast turns out to be wrong and deflation lasts longer than predicted.
So where are the negatives that could see the bears take control of this market and send it on a relentless journey lower?Over recent months, the oil price has rebounded from its lows. What initially looked like a correction could develop into something more durable. The ISIS group that has conquered vast swathes of Syria and Iraq is presently in control of roughly half of Iraq.

Since last year's selloff in oil was a major factor in crushing UK and global inflation, a sustained rally would reverse what is a clear economic benefit to consumers and send inflation higher.Additionally, if the US economy finally emerges from its winter torpor and leads the Federal Reserve to begin hiking rates in the near future, global bond markets would react negatively, including the gilt.So, although the conditions are not yet right to call a bear market in the gilt, those conditions could quickly and easily fall into place.On the other hand, there is one offset on the near horizon that could further support the low-inflation environment. That is if Iran and the major powers reach an accord over Iran's nuclear program. This would result in the lifting of sanctions and allow Iran's vast oil reserves back into the market.There are many factors at work in the government bond markets. The net effect is of them is far from clear. The least predictable of these, as ever, is the price of oil and the politics of the Middle East. They could yet be the decisive factor once again.
