"We do everything so automatically that we have forgotten the poignancy of smell, of physical anguish, of tactile sensations of all kinds" - Lygia Clark
Contemporary Art Practice is changing dramatically.
The creative force of the artist to not only produce artifacts, but also to perform and activate, has broadened the opportunity for artists to enter diverse fields. Artists react to observations of the world we live in, translating experience into art production and interventions. Merging genres and media –for example drawing with sound recording, or land art with video – creates new contexts for the expanding field of art practice.
The Contemporary Art Program at the Master's level emphasizes meeting the public ¬ be it in the museum or public square, self-initiated or organized by curators – to create a framework for an individual history of practice. Dialogues with Srishti faculty, practitioners from around the world, architects, horticulturists, scientists, designers and more develop a platform for building life-long art practices and networks. Making and critical thinking are fundamental to the aims of the program.
Nurturing the curiosity within the program into tangible projects and goals is accomplished through unique opportunities to engage with media and technological advances as well as traditional craft making practices. Students intersect with multiple perspectives, experiment in new knowledge domains, and gain insights into their potential to act and impact through art practice.
Key Values in the Curriculum
Explorations with materials using a variety of methods.
Understanding art through criticism and theory.
Expansive, and Interdisciplinary dialogue.
Play & Experiment.
To explore 2D and 3D 'form'.
To share/foster knowledge.
To engage in critical reflection.
To develop collaborative strategies.
To connect with communities.
Course Structure
- Studios encourage active, contextual learning where students develop core disciplinary skills and knowledge. Studios facilitate collaborative and creative design solutions to complex, open-ended problems
- Workshops provide intense learning experiences in making and doing, across the different disciplines.
- Internship with an industry or a design studio is compulsory for students at the end of 1st year
- Self Initiated Project is an end of the semester challenge that allows the student to engage in research / enquiry or design based projects. Students begin by writing their project proposal and defining the scope of their project and they are mentored by faculty / design professionals.
- Electives are liberal arts courses aimed to cultivate intellectual and reflective abilities in students and motivate them to probe deeper and approach their design process in a holistic manner.
- Capstone Project is the culmination of the research, capabilities and knowledge gained over the last three semesters. Students are required to submit their design output and a mandated thesis document. Students are mentored during this final project and go through seminars to get feedback from faculty and peer groups
Learning Approach
- This two-year program encourages students to develop a sustained enquiry, exploration, body of work and contextual argument to locate their practice with a contemporary artistic language and cutting edge positioning.
- It also looks at the sub-cultures of artistic production and management. It provides a framework to develop practical skills and critical analysis to challenge and rethink existing knowledge systems, usages and applications of art, society and creative economies.
- An interdisciplinary curriculum that includes exposure to ideas through, visuals, texts, artifacts and audio dealing with the history of media, arts and sciences, influences on visual culture and memory, perception, cognition and cultural production.
- Contextual learning for engagement and intervention through participatory approach and engagement with communities, sites and agendas.
- Building skills to enable creating installations, create public art, develop performances, build surreal objects, or design poetic experiences, be it with sound or image, through an object, artist book or a stitched fabric.
- As a space for creativity and rigorous analysis, students develop projects that may require intensive research, fieldwork, and collaborations through the following learning environments:
Contextual site/specific studios
Independent Research & Practice
Public Art Project - 2018
- Analyze and reflect on unique concepts socially, culturally, historically and environmentally

A conservative website's post about a University of Georgia professor who planned to allow students to choose their own grades went viral over the past couple of days.
Campus Reform wrote Monday about business professor Rick Watson's "stress reduction policy," which would have allowed students who felt "unduly stressed" about their grade email Watson with a suggested grade, "and it will be so changed."
The policy was included in the syllabi for two of Watson's fall courses.
Watson is the Terry College of Business's J. Rex Fuqua Distinguished Chair for Internet Strategy and a regents professor, a position awarded to Georgia universities' most highly distinguished faculty members.
The story was picked up by the AJC and several other websites.
Campus Reform's bias led some to dismiss the report, but the university confirmed it this morning by announcing that Watson had rescinded the policy.

UGA also released a statement from Terry College Dean Ben Ayers:

While Watson may have taken things too far, there's evidence that grade-related stress can take a toll on students' mental and physical health.

The Minister for E-Commerce and Competitiveness (Mr. Douglas Alexander): First, may I pay tribute to the hon. Member for Somerton and Frome (Mr. Heath) for securing the debate? He spoke forcefullyindeed, movinglyand from the basis of a real knowledge of his constituents' concerns about the importance of small retailers. He raised several matters that I hope to address.
I assure the hon. Gentleman that the Government fully understand the vital role that retailing plays in the United Kingdom's economy. It contributes more than 5 per cent. to the nation's gross domestic product and employs nearly 2.5 million people, which is 11 per cent. of the work force. Some 58,400 new jobs were created in the sector last year, providing flexible job opportunities for women, part-timers, young people and returners to work among others.
More than any other sector, retailing affects our daily lives, as the hon. Gentleman made clear. Not only does every household spend £144 a week on average in retail outlets, but the availability of suitable shopping facilities influences where people choose to live, the value of their houses and their environment.
At one end of the scale, the vibrancy and diversity of retailing in Britain attracts huge revenues from tourists, while at the other, access to the local shop is far more than just a convenience. It is an essential local amenity, and one that can help in the regeneration of our high streets and market towns, to which the hon. Gentleman referred, and in the rejuvenation of urban and rural communities in general.
Just as shops are an important part of any community, so is the local post office, a subject on which I had the pleasure of reading some of the hon. Gentleman's
The Government are also committed to assisting shops in rural areas such as the hon. Gentleman's constituency. The White Paper "Our Countryside: the future, a fair deal for rural England", published in November, announced a range of new measures to help rural services, including village shops.
Those measures include a £15 million community services grants scheme, administered by the Countryside Agency, which awards grants of between £500 and £25,000 to locally identified, innovative projects to improve access to services that may be declining or under threat; increased funding for market-town regeneration, which is expected to entail a £100 million programme for 100 towns to strengthen their role as service providers and growth points and to create a national beacon towns best-practice network; and new legislation providing 50 per cent. rate relief to all village food shops and new non-agricultural enterprises on farms.
I noted the hon. Gentleman's comments on uniform business rates. It was one of the pleasures of preparing for today's debate to read his speech in the debate on 30 April on that very subject. In last year's Green Paper, "Modernising Local Government Finance", the Government proposed a scheme to provide mandatory rate relief of up to 50 per cent. for all small businesses. We are currently considering the details of that scheme, in consultation with representatives of business, including small business bodies. We shall publish a White Paper on the next steps later this year. As the hon. Gentleman acknowledged, we have already implemented the Green Paper proposals to provide additional help to small retailers in isolated rural communities. Mandatory rate relief of 50 per cent. was extended to certain pubs and petrol stations in designated rural villages with effect from 5 April.
I turn next to retail crime, which the hon. Gentleman raised. The Government are particularly concerned about the level of crime, as described in the policy action team or PAT 13 report to which he referred, that small retailers are suffering in deprived areas. Indeed, the Home Office is working closely with the retail sector through a ministerial advisory group on retail crime and the retail crime action team to develop initiatives to combat such crime. That has led to the development of active retail crime partnerships, the best of which are delivering some impressive results in reducing crime and antisocial behaviour in city and town centres. My right hon. Friend the Home Secretary announced on 27 June a £15 million investment to improve the immediate environment of shops and enhance their security.
On the specific issue raised by the hon. Gentleman of proof of age, the Government do not believe that there is a case for introducing a national card. There are
The hon. Gentleman spoke forcefully about the regulatory burden on our retailing sector. In creating a dynamic and competitive economy including the retail sector, it is of course important that we pursue the objective of light-touch and proportionate regulationregulation only where it is justified and to the extent that it is justified.
One of the primary functions of my Department's Small Business Service is to find ways of reducing regulatory and administrative burdens on small businesses. The SBS will work to ensure that the "think small first" philosophy is applied across Whitehall in respect of new regulations. It will seek to reduce the impact of regulations by eliminating them where possible, by simplifying forms and procedures and by encouraging higher standards of enforcement. The SBS also encourages Departments to make information on regulations comprehensive and accessible, including through the SBS information and advice service.
Following a request from my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry to Lord Haskins, the better regulation task force agreed to report on the regulatory burden faced by small and medium-sized enterprises, including small retailers as a case study. The report has recently been published and my Department is now considering the recommendations and how to implement them.
On the specific issue of supermarkets, concerns have been voiced that the Competition Commission inquiry into supermarkets might not have gone far enough and that small shops are at a disadvantage. However, the success of the supermarkets cannot be attributed solely to the prices that they charge: consumer buying patterns and habits are changing and we are witnessing the growth of the desire for one-stop shopping, as the hon. Member for Somerton and Frome recognises.
In completing its report, the commission considered carefully the impact of supermarkets on rural shops. It identified a number of practices engaged in by the larger supermarkets that it felt were against the public interest because they adversely affected the competitiveness of some of their suppliers and other smaller retailers. The commission's report recommended that the most effective way of addressing those adverse effects was a code of practice. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry has recently received advice on the code from the Director General of Fair Trading; that advice is now being considered.
Another major concern was that supermarkets might be involved in the practice of below-cost selling, which could have an adverse impact on small retailers. The Competition Commission examined the practice of below-cost selling in detail. It found that persistent below-cost selling took place only in relation to a small number of products, most commonly economy lines and a few other high-profile items. It was impossible directly to isolate and quantify any adverse impacts.
The commission accepted that persistent selling below cost could be damaging, but considered that there were good grounds for not taking action against it: for example,
The location of large out-of-town supermarkets is the result of commercial decisions by retailers, albeit operating within the constraints of local planning regulations that are designed to encourage new growth within towns. The Government are committed to sustainable development that ensures the viability of town centres, and planning proposals are scrutinised against guidelines that strongly promote town centres as the focus for future retail development.
When drawing up their development plans and determining planning applications, and after giving consideration to the need for new development, we expect local planning authorities to adopt a sequential approach to the selection of a site: first preference should be given to town-centre sites, followed by edge-of-centre sites, and only then to out-of-town sites. The onus is on developers opting for out-of-town sites to demonstrate that all potential town-centre and edge-of-centre options have been thoroughly assessed.
I shall write to the hon. Gentleman on issues relating to the supply chain and the Cruickshank report. He specifically directed many of his remarks to the issue of small retailers. It is clear that retail delivers tangible economic benefits not only to the country as a whole, but to individual communities. The broader welfare advantages that it can bring were recognised by PAT 13, which confirmed that good neighbourhood retailing plays a vital role in improving community self-esteem, community engagement, skills development and training and social life. The maintenance of local retailing is vital to the lifeblood of a community, so I am extremely pleased to be undertaking that work in the Government. I acknowledge the progress already made in departmental implementation of PAT 13's recommendations.
For example, at our request, the better regulation task force examined the impact of the regulatory burden on small shops. Its report has been published and we shall give careful consideration to its recommendations on how to advance the issues. The SBS, through its franchises, is supporting initiatives to provide direct help to small retailers. For example, pilot projects are being supported in Surrey, where 800 small retailers are utilising e-commerce to achieve supply chain efficiencies, and in Birmingham, where inner-city retailers are receiving help in improving store standards and performance through advice on merchandising, training, customer service, health and hygiene, promotional projects and group purchasing. If successful, we hope that those projects and similar ones can be rolled out across the country.
Funding is available through the SBS Phoenix development fund, which is designed to encourage innovative ideas to promote and support enterprises in disadvantaged areas among groups of people currently under-represented in business ownership. Its purpose is to encourage experimentation, the evaluation of new ideas and the identification and spread of best practice in an
The report also stressed the need for locally developed strategies, with the local community playing a full part in the process and working together with local retailers. Through the establishment of the PAT 13 movers' group, consisting of people who are actively involved with promoting the sustainability of retailing in local communities, we are identifying examples of best practice. They will be disseminated in a conference in January next year with the aim of encouraging local people to set up or sustain retail businesses in difficult areas by highlighting support mechanisms that are available. A signposting guide to both local and national support mechanisms will be launched at the conference, and will be available via a DTI-supported website. I hope that the hon. Gentleman agrees that measures such as those sequential approaches help to provide small retailers with a more level playing field.
I turn to foot and mouth, which the hon. Gentleman raised in his conclusion. The Government continue their work in that area. We are already helping badly affected non-farming businesses to cope by deferring tax, VAT and national insurance contribution payments; we are providing extra funding for hardship rate relief payments; and are establishing a new regional development agency business recovery fund to provide grants to help businesses adjust and cope with the crisis. Already, more than 11,000 businesses have had tax, VAT and national
I thank the hon. Gentleman for raising the issue, and I assure him that we recognise the difficulties that small retailers currently face in adapting to changing patterns of competition and consumers' buying habits. Our goal is the sustainability of a vibrant and diverse retail sector, both physical and virtual, which can serve the needs of all social groups in all parts of the country. It is not, however, our role artificially to keep businesses afloat through subsidies, but to help them become more sustainable through innovation and the adoption of new technologies and best practice. Much excellent work is being developed and undertaken in communities across Britain; we want to encapsulate that and encourage a wider spread of take-up across the country. I therefore warmly welcome the opportunity to demonstrate our commitment as a Government to the retail sector, to working closely with it in future, and to any initiatives aimed at promoting social inclusion and enhanced sustainability of social enterprises, in both of which retailing has played an important part. In conclusion, I pay tribute to the hon. Gentleman's success in initiating this debate in the House.

THE NEWS: A decision by the Alabama Supreme Court in September led Solutia and its lawyers to rethink their tactic of settling suits before a verdict.
THE ISSUE: The Alabama jury's verdict against the company on several broad counts, including a count of "outrage," has encouraged lawyers representing 15,000 plaintiffs in another PCB case in federal court.
In the first lawsuit involving Solutia Inc. and polychlorinated biphenyls contamination that went to a jury verdict, the company lost big.
On Friday, a jury in Etowah County, Ala., ruled against Solutia and its predecessor, Monsanto Co., on counts of negligence, wantonness, trespass, nuisance, suppression and outrage. All of the counts stemmed from allowing PCBs made at a chemical plant in Anniston, Ala., to get into surrounding land and water — and for concealing it.
PCBs were used for more than 50 years as fire-safe lubricants in electrical devices.
The last count, outrage, "means that the conduct is basically intolerable in a civilized society," said Adam Peck, an atomic for Solutia. "That was the most disappointing result for us."
And it was the most encouraging point for lawyers representing 15,000 plaintiffs in another PCB case, this one in federal court. "It's refreshing for a jury to return facts and get a verdict," said Jere Beasley, who expects to face Peck and the other Solutia lawyers in U.S. District Court in Birmingham, Ala., next year.
Since Solutia was spun off by Monsanto in 1997, Solutia has settled other suits before they reached a verdict. It also has continued Monsanto's practice of declining to discuss the number of suits it is involved in or has settled.
Monsanto and Solutia are based in St. Louis. Monsanto merged in 2000 with what is now Pham1acia Corp., of Peapack, N.J. The old Monsanto's agricultural business was spun off by Pharmacia and carries the Monsanto name.
The verdict Friday in state circuit court is just the first step in the case. Damages haven't been discussed.
The Alabama verdict shows the jury believes PCB contamination in Anniston "is not a simple mistake, but intentional wrongdoing," Beasley said.
Solutia denied that PCBs are as dangerous as they've been portrayed. It also said Monsanto and Solutia have tried to protect the environment and the public ever since Monsanto voluntarily halted PCB production at Almiston in 1971.
An outrage claim "had never been submitted to a jury under the context of a suit like this, concerning toxicity," said Peck, Solutia's lawyer. "Outrage requires more than just exposure. It usually requires some sort of illness or disease."
The 17 plaintiffs represented in the trial claimed property damage, rather than illness or personal injury, although some of the 3,500 co-plaintiffs have claimed PCBs injured their health.
Peck said the charge of suppression was hard to take as well. "The evidence is that we've been communicating with regulators back to the early 1970s. It's the only way we can deal with the problems. We can't go in and test people's property, we have to work with the Environmental Protection Agency."
Solutia issued a statement Friday, saying it has investigated more than 8,000 acres of land; collected more than 5,000 samples of soil, water, sediment and fish; and cleaned about 300 acres of land and more than a mile of drainage ditches. In all, Solutia has spent $40 million on sampling and cleanup efforts in addition to court settlements.
"We continue to work cooperatively with government agencies and the community on a
comprehensive long-term cleanup solution," the statement said.
And it will continue to meet its Anniston critics in court.
The verdict Friday determined liability. It is unclear whether the judge will ask the jury to assess damages for the 17 plaintiffs or hear more complaints first.
Circuit Judge Joel Laird told the lawyers and jury to be back in court Monday afternoon. He said he would have some questions for the jury, but wasn't specific, Peck said.
Laird told the Associated Press that he had not decided when or how damages against the companies would be set.
Solutia settled a suit brought by a group of landowners along Alabama waterways in 1999, agreeing to pay $43.7 million for cleanup and damages. Last April the company settled halfway through a trial in a separate suit brought by several Anniston residents. It agreed to pay $40 million. Both of those cases were in federal court.
A decision by the Alabama Supreme Court in September led Solutia and its lawyers to rethink their tactic of settling suits before a verdict. The state's highest court ruled that people couldn't claim pain and suffering just because they feared they would get sick from PCB exposure. They had to show they had a disease and link it to their exposure, the court said.
After that, Solutia and its lawyers felt the state case was "a very defensible case," said Jere White, lead counsel for Solutia along with Peck.
In fact, company executives and lawyers said they might not have settled the last federal case for $40 million if the state high court's decision had come sooner.
The amount of that latest federal court settlement encouraged more suits there, White said. Most of them are being added to the pending federal case, which is in early stages and not expected to go to trial before early next year in Birmingham.
Monsanto made PCBs in Sauget as well. Solutia and the EPA signed a consent order in 1999 that the company would clean up contamination in Dead Creek, near the plant.
Solutia says it has set aside reserves sufficient to handle its environmental litigation and cleanup. But the verdict, even without damages, made investors nervous. Solutia's stock lost about a third of its value Friday, closing at $5.80, down $2.95.
If Solutia were unable to cover its liabilities, Monsanto would be next in line. Its stock took a $2 dive right after the verdict was announced midday Friday, but climbed back to $30.80, up 1 cent. Pharmacia, which would be liable for cleanup if Monsanto could not pay, closed at $40.40, up 50 cents.
The history of PCBs

1935: Monsanto Co. buys Swann.
1939: Monsanto adds PCB production at its plant in Monsanto, Ill., now Sauget.
1961 : Monsanto closes one clay-lined landfill in AImiston and opens a second nearby.
1966: A study published in Sweden finds PCBs in the environment.
1970: An intemal Monsanto memo reports that fish in the Mississippi River near the
Sauget plant had PCB levels as high as 9 parts per million, and fish near the AImiston plant had levels of more than 30,000 parts per million.
1971: Monsanto stops PCB production in Anniston.

1992: Fish in a creek that flows from Monsanto's Anniston property are found to be contaminated with PCBs. The E:m.vironmental Protection Agency issues a warning against eating fish in several creeks that flowed into Lake Logan Martin, 30 miles away. Property owners along the way file a class action suit in 1996.
1993: Tests reveal that PCBs are leaking from both landfills in Anniston.
1995: Monsanto offers to buyout properties around the plant. Since then, Monsanto or Solutia have• bought 120 parcels.

2000: Monsanto merges with Pharmacia & Upjohn to form Pharmacia Corp. and spins off the agricultural business into a "new" Monsanto Co., which retains secondary liability for litigation.
2001: The EPA identifies 21 Alabama properties that have PCB contamination high enough to require removal. Solutia begins the first property cleanup.
April 2001 : Solutia agrees to pay $40 million to a group of 1,600 Anniston residents to settle a federal suit.
Sept. 2001: The Alabama Supreme Court rules that fear of future health risks is not sufficient to force Solutia to pay for medical monitoring.
January 2002: Trial begins in Alabama district court on claims from 3,500 people alleging injury or property damage from PCB contamination by Solutia. These are reduced to 16 residential property owners and one business.
Feb. 22, 2002: Jury finds against Solutia on six counts; damages have yet to be determined.

But it was first thing Friday morning that I will likey remember most. As I was just getting to the hanger, Gregg on the desk calls. He has details of an assignment that we can bang off right away. He gives me GPS coorinates which I scribble down on my hand as I curse myself under my breath as I am in need of a freah note pad in the truck.
There is a lot of hubbub at the hanger. The evening before a Bell 404 medivac from Denver Colorado had landed and were using our hanger for their time here in Vancouver. That machine and her crew would be part of a film shoot on Saturday or at least that was the plan. Unfortunatally it was discovered that this machine had developed a machinical issue and would need a part transported to them.
As I arrived in the hanger and inform Peter our pilot of the day as to what we are up to, the 407 crew is inspecting their machine and making plans for a delay in the shooting schedual.
Jana one of the Flight Nurses from the 407 askes if we would mind her taking some pictures taking off on our hot news story. What is happining she askes. Peter reveals that we are headed to see if we can get some pictures of an Orca Pod that is feeding near Sand Heads.
I have never seen whales in a pod from the helicopter before. I had taken video of Luna the lone Orca of Gold River a few seasons ago from our first Helicopter. During our many crossings of the Straight of Georgia I have always looked but have never seen a Pod.
As we powered up we invited Jana and her collegue Linda to join us. It would be a short flight and both we excieted about the possibility of seeing Killer Whales. Not many whales get to Denver, well maybe on a ski vacation,,,,,
It was not long before we had our target in sight. There was a floatilla of Whale Watching boats already surrounding the pod as they feasted on a run of salmon. It was just a mile or so off the "Coal Pile" at Delta Port and within sight of the ferry terminal. It turnes out to be "J" Pod a resident pod of Orcas. They travel all over the Pacific Northwest. It is quite a sight. I guess we had quite an audience back at Vancouver control watching the feed come into the station. Nature at it's best. I guess "I" Pod was busy down loading music and was not seen in the area.
Another frame grab off Sand Heads with 2 orcas feeding just a few feet from a Whale Watching tour boat
We spent about 40 minutes or so getting what we needed before we headed back to YVR. Our guests from Colorado excieted from an experience and ready to tell the story to freinds and family back in Colorado of how they went Ocra Whale watching, from a Helicopter, "up there in Canada"
We ended up running the tape for both our 5 and 6 shows. It wasn't a bad way to end a very good flight week.

Surf Competition, September 2011A short drive from the somewhat more crowded beaches and pinxto stands of San Sebastian, Spain, the twin towns of St Jean de Luz and Biarritz in France are worth the drive (and the $20 Euros in highway tolls!).
The water is too rough for children, but it was a much better beach for sunning and reading. And watching the surfers is always a treat.

In the , the magazine takes us into home of exuberant decorator and event designer in Clarendon Heights, San Francisco. Fondly named "the treehouse," the rustic hilltop residence, which was designed by prominent Bay Area modernist architect Warren Callister, is lushly landscaped and has expansive city views from a 27-foot-tall-window in the living room. The designer recalls his initial walk-through like a fairytale: "San Francisco looked like Oz down below," he says, "I thought, I am supposed to buy this house." After buying the property, the designer began a sensitive restoration of the property, replacing linoleum floors with redwood and installing a large concrete island and refurbished wood-burning stove. Filled with treasures like a studded brass chest from India and vintage shoe-display cabinets from London, the architectural gem is accented with quirky one-of-a-kind pieces, yet extremely well-edited.

When you were growing up there were many reasons to be excited about the Holiday season. Whether it was the snow on the ground, the Christmas lights in the trees, or the giant Christmas tree in your living room it was always a beautiful sight. Another reason to love the season, starting on December 1st, is the Advent Calendar. What is an advent calendar? How do you use one?
An Advent Calendar is a way to count down to Christmas and add a little bit of fun to the whole process. The Advent Calendar is hollowed out with little doors on each day of the month, leading up to the 25th. Behind each door is a little treat for the person opening it. Fill up your Advent Calendar with little pieces of candy, stories, or gift cards and have a reason to celebrate every day of the Christmas season.
Advent Calendars are a ton of fun for children and a way to keep the Spirit alive for the adults!

"As the first congressional election during his party chairmanship approaches, Michael Steele is dancing as fast as he can, trying to charm independent voters and tea partiers while never losing sight of his real master and paycheck provider: the Republican National Committee,"After Steele called O'Donnell and expressed how this use of the term "master" in reference was quite offensive, O'Donnell went on his show the next night and apologized in a manner that I think all white Americans could stand to emulate.
Fortunately, O'Donnell recognizes that the effect of one's actions are always more important than the intent. Sure, he didn't have to apologize, but the fact that he did shows he has a lot better understanding of white privilege than many folks within liberal/progressive circles.
You see, his apology has little to do with Steele. It's about right and wrong. The appropriateness of an apology isn't dependent on whether or not Steele is a decent person, because O'Donnell's words reach far beyond just the individual he was referring to. It would have been much better if he hadn't made this remark in the first place. However, after saying it, he had to decide to how he was going to react to being told how offensive it was. He could either contribute to the way that white Americans try to decide for themselves what should and should not be offensive to people of color or he could make it clear that he understands the impact of his actions as a media figure. Thankfully, he chose the ethical response. My hope is that more white Americans will learn from this and follow his example.

Suave, the best kept secret in the hair aisle, has recently jumped into the formaldehyde-free keratin-based, hair-straightening game. I'm still Thermafused, so I haven't tried it, but if you have, I would love to hear your experience!
First of all, like all Suave Dry Shampoos, it smells amazing, better than any other hair product I currently have in my arsenal. It also keeps my second-, third- and in a pinch, fourth-day hair looking great (or, honestly, on the fourth day, passable). It's a tricky thing for a dry shampoo to keep the winning streak alive that long, but this one seems to do it effortlessly.
It is also great to spray throughout your hair, not just on your scalp. It gives you volume, a fresh scent, takes away extra oils and costs less than almost any other dry shampoo on the market. And there is no residual whiteness. There is virtually no whiteness at all! You can spray it into a pool in your hand and there is next to no whiteness. Perfection! Check out this dry shampoo and the entire line of Suave Keratin Infusion Products here.
Have you tried their dry shampoos? Would you try their at-home straightening system or would you rather pay a few hundred at the salon and be done with it? Tell me in the comments!
I've bought enough Suave in my days to fill a truck. This particular one was sent for review.

text: I have an iPad 2, and am about to order an iMac with my next paycheck. I've had alot of experience using apple products, from my friends Mac pro/mbp/MBA to when I first started using an iPod touch and now my iPad. I was looking around some different sites and found the modbook. A Mac tablet, sort of. I got to thinking that with the new multitouch implementations of os x lion, it would be fairly simple to see using a Mac tablet with a full fledged lion on it. I understand that the software is written for intel based chips and that arm is not yet powerful enough to handle it and that specs such as the iPad wouldn't run lion well, but what is that possibility that we see a Mac tablet soon? Like a Mac pad pro of the sorts? Or will we have to wait for the uninevitable merge of the 2 os's so there won't be internal competition for the iPad?

Business culture refers to behaviour; the behaviour of people within a business and how it is affected by the values, visions, beliefs, actions and habits of that business. Business Culture affects everything within a business, from the way in which processes are carried out, to the way in which people interact and communicate with one another.
Organisational cultures exist everywhere, and throughout your life, you will have been a part of many without ever even realising. These cultures form over time and are taught and continued through experience, perception and interpretation. A good example of your first encounter of an organisational culture is high school. Remember when you first started high school? Your entire way of life most likely changed round about this time. You stopped playing games, stopped playing with toys and instead adopted what you perceived to be a more mature personality and behaviour; and you did this to fit in. This is an example of you adapting to an organisational culture, the culture of high school. The ways in which we act, behave, interact, communicate and perform are all determined by the cultures of which we belong.
Taking this into consideration, it is clear to see why creating a positive and productive culture is critical to the performance and success of a business.
Benefits of a Strong Business Culture
Research has proven that companies which maintain a strong business culture benefit from a number of positive performance factors - these include:
- High morale
- A strong alignment with company goals and values
- Increased employee productivity and performance
- Strengthened employee relations
- Improved sales and profit
What sort of Business Culture do you belong to?
Do you feel that you share and believe in the vision, values and goals of your company?
Are you motivated to work?
Do you perform to your best and feel valued for your efforts and contribution?
If you answered yes to all or most of these questions then congratulations, it would appear that you are part of a strong business culture!
However, if you answered no then your workplace may be suffering due to poor cultural habits that could permeate throughout all aspects of the company affecting you, your colleagues and the overall performance of the business.
Time for a change!
It is the responsibility of higher management and company leaders to identify weak business culture. Only they can invoke the change necessary to make a positive impact. Unfortunately it is here that the problem often lies; identifying weak business culture and making the change!
If no one realises a problem exists, or they can't identify what the root of the problem is, how can we ever expect change to take place? This is a very common problem and is not a sign of failure or weakness in itself. Running a business is an extremely demanding task and it is all too easy to become so focused on where you want to be, that you overlook where you are and how that is affecting your team.
As part of the Momenta Performance Academy, we work closely with organisations to identify and address what changes need to take place in order to improve performance; helping to implement and embed it successfully within the organisation. We do this through a process we call NAVIGATE = Necessity – Analysis – Vision – Implications – Grading – Alignment – Transformation – Excellence. With NAVIGATE we can identify what needs changing and why.
Alternatively, it is often a good idea to bring in a fresh perspective which can be provided by an interim manager. An interim manager will bring years of specialised experience to your company, as well as a fresh and insightful viewpoint that can help identify organisational cultural weaknesses. At Momenta, we are experts in the recruitment and outsourcing of the UK's top interim managers across a wide breadth of sectors.

Last week was graduation and it was a blast, spending time with family and friends and putting the final touches on my time here at SPU. Once the festivities of graduation weekend were over however, we were all left with the painfully scary realization that now is the time when everyone leaves. Before graduation was a real event in our minds, we had all talked about our plans for this coming year with excitement (and quite a bit of consternation). Now, just a week since we walked across the stage at Safeco field, I have said goodbye to two of my friends. More goodbyes will follow in the next couple of weeks (in fact, one will happen tomorrow).
To be honest, I don't know if I truly grasp the significance of these goodbyes; goodbyes are nothing new in these relationships as we have said goodbye many times before. The difference this time is that these goodbyes are not said with the promise of a quick return. These ones are indefinite. They are open-ended goodbyes, ones with no definition besides whatever we choose to give them. School is not starting in the fall (at least not at SPU) and we will not be back after Christmas break or a quick weekend home.
Still, these goodbyes are filled with anticipation and excitement. I have already sent well-wishes to friends on their way to places all over the country and the globe; I too am off on an adventure in a little over a month. I want to say my goodbyes well and I want to wade through their indefiniteness in a way that does justice to relationships. I have made old friends here.
This goodbye is for all you old friends. I can't wait for our next hello!

NZ and China sign dairy cooperation arrangement
Press Release – New Zealand Government
Agriculture Minister David Carter has signed a dairy cooperation arrangement with China's Agriculture Minister Han Changfu. NZ and China sign dairy cooperation arrangement
Agriculture Minister David Carter has signed a dairy cooperation arrangement with China's Agriculture Minister Han Changfu.
Mr Carter is on a week-long visit to Beijing, Heilongjiang and Inner Mongolia, leading a delegation of New Zealand agricultural technology companies.
"The signing of this arrangement formalises the existing China-New Zealand Dairy Dialogue, a forum which encourages an open and regular exchange of views between government and business representatives in our respective dairy industries," says Mr Carter.
"It represents another step forward in the good relationship between New Zealand and China on dairy and agricultural issues in general."
China is New Zealand's second-largest trading partner, with total trade exceeding $10 billion in 2009.
"The governments of both our countries are working closely together in the areas of agricultural development and food safety, and our discussions this week have further strengthened our good economic relationship."
Mr Carter says China's Agriculture Minister expressed support in principle for New Zealand's Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases and intended sending officials to observe next week's inaugural meeting of the Alliance in Wellington.
This is to be hosted by Mr Carter and International Climate Change Negotiations Minister Tim Groser from 7-9 April.

The Affluence Network Token Values VS Bitcoin Values
Thank you so much for visiting us in your search for "The Affluence Network Token Values VS Bitcoin Values" online.
You have probably heard this many times where you generally spread the great word about crypto. "It is not risky? What goes on when the cost failures? " sofar, several POS devices delivers free conversion of fiat, improving some worry, but before volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, many people will be hesitant to put on any. We need to discover a way to fight the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies.
Many individuals choose to use a money deflation, notably those who need to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Financial solitude, for example, is amazing for political activists, but more debatable as it pertains to political campaign financing. We need a secure cryptocurrency for use in commerce; should you be living paycheck to paycheck, it'd happen within your wealth, with the remainder earmarked for other currencies.
For most users of cryptocurrencies it's not essential to understand how the process works in and of itself, but it is fundamentally important to understand that there is a procedure for mining to create virtual currency. Unlike currencies as we know them now where Governments and banks can just choose to print unlimited numbers (I 'm not saying they're doing thus, only one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining application, which solves the sophisticated algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation.
Ethereum is an incredible cryptocurrency platform, nevertheless, if growth is too fast, there may be some issues. If the platform is adopted immediately, Ethereum requests could increase dramatically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under such a scenario, the entire platform of Ethereum could become destabilized due to the raising costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether can lead to an adverse change in the economic parameters of an Ethereum based company that may result in company being unable to continue to manage or to cease operation.
The Affluence Network Token Values VS Bitcoin Values
Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are placed into circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to make more. The mining process is what creates more of the coin. It may be useful to think about the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are exactly the same. Mining crypto coins means you will really get to keep the full rewards of your efforts, but this reduces your odds of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have much higher potential for solving a block, but the reward will be divided between all members of the pool, according to the number of "shares" won.
If you're considering going it alone, it is worth noting the software configuration for solo mining can be more complicated than with a pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter course. This alternative also creates a steady stream of earnings, even if each payment is modest compared to fully block the wages.
In the case of the fully functioning cryptocurrency, it may actually be exchanged being a product. Supporters of cryptocurrencies say that form of digital cash isn't governed by way of a central bank system and it is not therefore subject to the whims of its inflation. Because there are always a limited variety of goods, this coinis price is based on market forces, letting owners to trade over cryptocurrency transactions.
The wonder of the cryptocurrencies is that fraud was proved an impossibility: because of the nature of the protocol in which it is transacted. All transactions over a crypto currency blockchain are permanent. When you're paid, you get paid. This is simply not anything short term wherever your web visitors may dispute or desire a refunds, or use dishonest sleight of hand. In practice, many dealers would be wise to make use of a payment processor, because of the permanent nature of crypto currency transactions, you have to ensure that protection is difficult. With any form of crypto currency whether a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or some of the numerous other altcoins, thieves and hackers could potentially gain access to your private tips and so steal your cash. Unfortunately, you most likely will never have it back. It is very important for you to undertake some very good safe and secure practices when dealing with any cryptocurrency. Doing this can protect you from many of these bad activities.
Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others have now been designed as a non-fiat currency. Put simply, its backers contend that there is "actual" worth, even through there isn't any physical representation of that worth. The worth rises due to computing power, that is, is the lone way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU power via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time frame that is worth an ever declining amount of money or some sort of reward to be able to ensure the shortage. Each coin contains many smaller units. For Bitcoin, each component is called a satoshi. The individual who has mined the coin holds the address, and transfers it to some value is provided by another address, which is a "wallet" file stored on a computer. The blockchain is where the public record of transactions resides. Most all cryptocurrencies function as Bitcoin does.
The fact that there is little evidence of any growth in the use of virtual money as a currency may be the reason there are minimal attempts to control it. The reason behind this could be simply that the marketplace is too small for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory effort. It is also possible the regulators just do not comprehend the technology and its implications, awaiting any developments to act.

It's definitely possible, but it must be able to recognize opportunities no matter marketplace behavior. The market moves in relation to price BTC … So even supposing it's in a BTC tendency down can make money by purchasing the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you'll be fine.
You may run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. Anytime you commence to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you purchase the uptrend will never drop! Always will go down! Viewers incremental increases are more reliable and profitable (most times)
It should be hard to get more little increases (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the best way to read these Candlestick charts! And I found these two rules to be true: having modest increases is more rewarding than attempting to fight up to the pinnacle. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it is better to examine books than wait for order confirmation when you believe the price is going down. Secondly, there's more volatility and compensation in currencies that have not made it to the profitability of sites like Coinwarz.
Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to research possibilities for making substantial ammonts of money with various forms of online marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to endure the cryptocurrency marketplaces.Bitcoin architecture provides an instructive example of how one might make lots of money in the cryptocurrency marketplaces. Bitcoin is an outstanding intellectual and technical accomplishment, and it has created an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But very few people understand that and miss out on quite profitable business models made accessible due to the growing use of blockchain technology.
The transactions of Bitcoins are recorded in ledgers which are referred to as Blockchains. The ledgers use exceptionally complex technology for them to work. The idea is quite straightforward than you believe. The Blockchain enables two parties to create a smart contract. The contract can be created between two firms in a platform known If you are looking for The Affluence Network token values VS Bitcoin values, look no further than TAN.

Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact cash and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in the same way, but they also be a part of more complicated smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a trade to be supported by the network, but where a specific number of a defined group of people consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This enables advanced dispute mediation services to be developed in the future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their cash. Unlike cash and other payment systems, the blockchain constantly leaves public proof a transaction happened. This can be possibly used in an appeal against companies with deceptive practices.
Anyone can become a Bitcoin miner running applications with specialized hardware. Mining applications listen for broadcast transactions on the peer-to-peer network and perform the appropriate jobs to process and support these transactions. Bitcoin miners do this because they can make transaction fees paid by users for quicker transaction processing, and new bitcoins in existence are under denominated formulas.
Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far can be found on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which means the price a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Many people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This restricts the amount of bitcoins that are really circulating in the exchanges. Additionally, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Therefore, even the most diligent buyer could not buy all existing bitcoins. This situation is just not to imply that markets are not vulnerable to price exploitation, yet there is no need for substantial amounts of cash to move market prices up or down. The smallest events on the planet economy can change the price of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive.
Since one of the oldest forms of making money is in cash financing, it is a fact that you can do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending sites currently focus on Bitcoin, some of those sites you are needed fill in a captcha after a specific period of time and are rewarded with a small quantity of coins for seeing them. You are able to visit the www.cryptofunds.co site to find some lists of of these sites to tap into the money of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin marketplaces have very different dynamics. New ones are constantly popping up which means they don't have a lot of market data and historical perspective for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have rather inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to think of a reasonable investment strategy.

The 2017 Grammy Awards are around just the corner — are you ready for the big night? Make sure you're not missing out by knowing everything before the ceremony. From who's showing up to who's boycotting, we answer all your questions about the awards show.
MUST SEE: Check Out What Your Favorite Stars are Wearing at the 2016 Grammy Awards
When is the 2017 Grammy Awards?
The 59th Grammy Awards will take place Sunday, Feb. 12, 2017 at 8:00 p.m. EST / 5 p.m. PST. The awards will air live on CBS.
But I don't have a TV! Can I stream the Grammys live?
Yep! You can catch the live stream on the CBS website if you have an all-access membership (or know someone who does) or watch it for free on the Grammy's website.
Who's performing at the 2017 Grammys?
Oh, you know, no one really that big…just Adele and Beyoncé! Oh, and also John Legend, Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Demi Lovato, The Weeknd, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, and Alicia Keyes. So like we said, no one in particular.
Who's nominated?
Adele, Drake, Justin Bieber, Beyoncé, and Sturgill Simpson are all nominated for Album of the Year. Here's a complete list of all the nominations.
Sooo, basically it's Adele vs. Beyoncé?
Basically. Beyoncé has more nominations though, with nine in comparison to Adele's five. But of course, the true showdown will be for "Album of the Year."
Wow, it sounds like EVERYONE will be there! So who won't?
TMZ reported back in January that Drake, Justin, and Kanye West are all boycotting the ceremony because they think it's "irrelevant." However, they could always surprise us and show up anyway.
Why are the Grammys important anyway?
Well apart from the red carpet fashion and the meme-worthy moments, artists who win Grammys usually see a 27.8% increase in song sells and a 39.7% increase in album sales, according to BuzzAngle.
Who's hosting the 2017 Grammys?
The Late Late Show's James Corden will be hosting for the first time this year, replacing LL Cool J after five consecutive years on the job.
Where can I listen to all the music that's nominated?
Good question! It just so happens that Spotify has a Grammy Awards 2017 playlist where you can stream all the nominated music right now.
That's it! You are now up-to-date on all things Grammy-related. See you on Sunday!

Srinagar, Feb 25 :
Clashes erupted Tuesday in north Kashmir's Kupwara town between police and civilian protestors after seven guerrillas were killed in the district the previous day.
A senior police officer said a stone-pelting mob attacked the police station in Kupwara, around 100 km from here, Tuesday morning destroying the sentry posts.
"Police is exercising restraint in handling the mob. We have used tear smoke shells and baton charges to disperse the mob.
"The situation is under control," the officer said.
Two journalists who had gone to the town to cover the army press briefing on Monday's gunfight were injured in the clashes.
The army Monday killed seven separatist guerrillas in the forest area of Dardpora village in Kupwara.
Protestors are demanding the bodies of the slain guerrillas be handed over to them so that they are identified.
A senior police officer confirmed that bodies have been handed over to the local Auqaf committee for burial.

This set is an unbelievable deal! It truly is a fortress in every aspect.
-The texture is such an excellent choice, even up close it looks like real stone.
-The instructions are easy to follow with detailed step by step pictures.
-The walls are have supports throughout them to ensure they will support the weight of any model. And I mean any! I loaded mine up with metal minis with no signs of sag at all.
-The kit is huge! The versatility allows you to build the fortress that you want. Simply print the walls, corners, towers, etc.
-And lastly, I can't forget to mention the gate and bridge. IT WORKS!
This kit raises the standard in paper terrain. With many other paper models I feel like there is an element missing, like quality was sacrificed for cost. That is not the case here. This kit is beyond belief and well worth the money. I will be waiting anxiously for the next model from epicwargaming!

Dear Malinga,
I know you have been going through severe pain due to your knee injury. Today I came to know that you will miss the England tour in June and likely to miss Australian series as well. It is really saddening hear all these.
Cricket fraternity missed you in the World T20 and missing you in this IPL. Had you led Sri Lanka in the World T20, then it could have been a different story. Sri Lanka looked like minnows without you. They had an inexperienced side and with only Mathews firing, you can't expect much from them but your bowling, your captaincy that should have been the X-factor.
When I heard about your injury, I thought you may miss the initial parts of the IPL but missing the whole IPL, that never crossed my mind. There are no better death bowlers than you in the current era, even the great McGrath must have applauded your toe crushing yorkers.
Bowling in blockholes is a difficult trait to master and you have done it with ease. You fire one in the block hole, followed by another one, then another. We came to know, bowlers can consistently hit yorker length and low full tosses only when you showed us.
If the batting team needs only 6-7 runs in the final over say, with 5 wickets in hand then it is game over for the bowling side unless the bowler's name is Malinga. That is the confidence you have instilled in us over the years.
Who would forget your 4 back-to-back wickets against South Africa in the 2007 ICC World Cup when Proteas were cruising for a victory(206-5 in 45th over). You almost singlehandedly won the game for Sri Lanka as your 4 wickets suddenly changed the complexion of the game to 207-9.
We see bowlers sledging batsman and showering bads words when they were gone for plenty but you are entirely different, all you do is just smile back at the batsman. You are not only a special player but also a wonderful human being.
We miss you, IPL miss you, Mumbai Indians miss you. We don't know the how big is your injury, but we will surely pray for your speedy recovery.
Hoping to see you back in action soon.
With love,
Your fan

By Staff Sgt. Michael J. CardenNovember 25, 2008
FORT DRUM, N.Y. - Soldiers are trained to use non-lethal force as much as possible. But until recently, not every Soldier had "the right mix" of tools and capabilities to meet those goals, an officer said during exercises here last week.
"The more capabilities we give the Soldiers to operate in the non-lethal realm, the less likely they're going to have to resort to lethal force," said Army Maj. Thomas Aarsen, a close combat systems project officer for the Defense Department's Program Executive Office Ammunition.
"[The Army] has been asking Soldiers to do this for a long time, but now they have the tools to do so," Aarsen said during a Non-Lethal Capabilities Set fielding and training for two 10th Mountain Division brigade combat teams.
The Army has been improving its non-lethal capabilities since 2000 in response to U.S. actions in Kosovo. The Army needed something to use before resorting to lethal force, Aarsen said. There were variations of non-lethal packages before. But until now, there hasn't been a system available to Soldiers with the amount of tools the latest set provides, Aarsen said.
"Non-lethal capabilities has definitely been an evolving process," he said. "Technology and equipment continues to keep getting better, and we continue to keep learning more and becoming more innovative. I think now we have about the right mix of what the brigades will need. Though there may be times when they need more or less, it's a good solution at this point."
The fielding, an Army requirement, consists of five modules and comes with a weeklong training on its capabilities and uses, Aarsen said. The modules are based on tactical situations including checkpoint manning, convoy operations, detainee operations, crowd control and dismounted patrols. A Taser package sub-module with 18 Tasers and holsters also comes with the set, he said.
Instructors from the Army's military police school at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., who developed the training curriculum, travel to the gaining unit's installation to train the Soldiers. During the course, soldiers fire non-lethal ammunitions, such as Tasers and shotgun and grenade launcher rounds filled with rubber pellets.
Soldiers also learn to use the different modules to the capacity that they can teach their squads and platoons what they've learned, Aarsen said. The equipment includes audio-translating devices and the portable vehicle arrest barrier, he added.
The voice response translator is a hand-held electronic device that can be synced to eight users' voices and translate more than 350 phrases in 18 languages. Soldiers can use it to communicate in Arabic, Farsi, Urdu and Pashtun, for example, without an interpreter, Aarsen said.
The package also introduces the portable vehicle arrest barrier, which is basically a large cargo net stored inside a speed bump. Once activated, it can stop a 5-ton vehicle traveling 45 mph by wrapping around the vehicle and locking up the rear axle. Soldiers can stop a speeding vehicle without ever having to expend live ammunition, Aarsen said.
"These capabilities give the Soldiers a lot more tools to use as they progress through the escalation of force," he said. "Now they have ways to actually deal with folks before they have to result to lethal force. The whole focus is to provide Soldiers with more options before they have to use lethal force."
10th Mountain Division's 2nd and 3rd Brigade Combat Teams were the seventh and eighth brigades to receive the set. The set was produced by the Program Executive Office Ammunition and costs just more than $1 million. Fielding began in July to units getting ready for deployment. Every brigade combat team and military police brigade is expected to have the issue in about 18 months, officials said.

Right! So I have my last appointment with my new orthodontist (my old one is on maternity leave) on Tuesday 4th, where I will have impressions, photographs, new braces and finally get to meet with my surgeon again before he cuts up my face. I'm incredibly excited and, to my surprise not nervous or scared at all.
I also got accepted in to university! I start in 2 weeks, studying a Degree in Forensic Science, I'm staying at home for the first year, to accommodate for my surgery, then I'll be moving out to finish my last 2 years.
This also means that I finally get to leave work at McDonald's! I'm gonna celebrate next week on my last shift.
It was my 21st Birthday last week, I had an awesome fancy dress party - I was a pirate :)
I'll let'cha know how it goes next week.
Good night!

What is Speculation
Speculation is the act of conducting a financial transaction that has substantial risk of losing all value but with the expectation of a significant gain. With speculation, the risk of loss is more than offset by the possibility of a huge gain. Otherwise, there would be very little motivation to speculate. It may sometimes be difficult to distinguish between speculation and investment, and whether an activity qualifies as speculative or investing can depend on a number of factors, including the nature of the asset, the expected duration of the holding period, and the amount of leverage.
BREAKING DOWN Speculation
Real estate is an area where the line between investment and speculation blurs. Buying property with the intention of renting it out would qualify as investing, but buying multiple condominiums with minimal down payments for the purpose of reselling them quickly at a profit would undoubtedly be regarded as speculation. Speculators can provide market liquidity and narrow the bid-ask spread, enabling producers to hedge price risk efficiently Speculative short-selling may also keep rampant bullishness in check and prevent the formation of asset price bubbles.
Mutual funds and hedge funds often engage in speculation in the foreign exchange, bond and stock markets.
Foreign Exchange Market
The FX market is the world's largest market, with an estimated $5 trillion per day changing hands. The market trades around the world 24 hours a day; positions can be taken and reversed in seconds, utilizing high-speed electronic trading platforms. Transactions range from spot deals to buy and sell currency pairs, such as EUR/USD, for delivery in two business days to complex options structures with long-term payouts. The market is dominated by asset managers and hedge funds with multi-billion-dollar portfolios.
Speculation in the FX market can be hard to differentiate from hedging, which is when a company or financial institution buys or sells a currency to protect itself from market movements. For example, a sale of foreign currency related to a bond purchase can be deemed either a hedge of the bond's value or speculation; this can be especially complicated to define if the currency position is bought and sold multiple times while the fund owns the bond.
Bond Market
The global bond market is valued at an estimated $100 trillion, of which approximately $40 trillion is based in the United States. It includes debt issued by governments and multinational corporations. Prices can be very volatile, and they are strongly influenced by interest rate moves as well as political and economic uncertainty. The largest single market is for U.S. government Treasury bonds, and prices in that market are often driven by speculators.
Stock Market
Global stock markets are valued at an estimated $64 trillion. While many pensions and individual retirement accounts are for long-term investments, market movements are frequently driven by speculators.

Capt. Tameichi Hara was a destroyer squadron commander for most of the war aboard Shigure.
Published:August 15, 2011
(4 Reviews / Review Item [5])
This is a rousing tale of fear overcome and "togetherness" within a Navy. I wish I had read it in the '60s when I might have contacted Captain Hara. Hara's book is the best first hand account of anything I have yet read.


text: Hi All, my husband and I will be vacationing out in Monterey in June and will probably take some day trips to Carmel, Big Sur, and maybe Pacific Grove or Morro Bay. But in Monterey I'm planning on surprising my husband with a beach bonfire and then afterwards was thinking of taking him to a romantic Italian restaurant (Italian is his favorite). Does anybody have any recommendations on what is the best Italian restaurant out there? Hopefully nothing too incredibly expensive (would be willing to spend about $100). Any suggestions would be great, thanks!

Being a cinephile, I find myself watching at least one to two movies on TCM during my day. I've mentioned before on the site that when growing up I had almost no control of what TV shows or movies we watched in our living room…so I missed quite a few classic series and films. There is no greater joy for myself in my day than when TCM shows me a film that when it is over I just can't believe that I never had the pleasure of watching it before.
This morning I caught TCM's airing of the 1952 Vincente Minnelli (An American in Paris, Lust for Life) helmed The Bad and the Beautiful. The story deals with three mover and shakers in Hollywood that are called in to discuss helping the man who made them famous and powerful. Jonathan Shields (Kirk Douglas), the head of the down on it's luck, Shields Studios.
The three individuals are film director Fred Amiel (Barry Sullivan), starlet Georgia Lorrison (Lana Turner), and screenwriter and novelist James Lee Bartlow (Dick Powell). Each of them were friends of Jonathan but through the producers own actions he has forced them to turn away from him at his time of need.
The movie is the back story of each of the characters and how they came to be successful through Jonathan, perhaps I should say despite being involved with Jonathan.
This movie is a bit like Singing in the Rain in that it shows you the behind the scenes of the Golden Age of Hollywood…just not as brightly as the version we see in Gene Kelly's film.
A big thanks to IMP Awards for the awesome poster and to I Am Only Love for uploading the trailer on YouTube.
