Health Paradoxes
For some health outcomes and among certain groups, immigrants experience better health than their US-born counterparts, yet the health of immigrants appears to deteriorate with more time spent in the US. Our research seeks to examine these issues, while offering empirical and theoretical insights for understanding and improving immigrant health.

That tends to support my recollection that training was very dangerous, as it's at about the ratio of one in six of total deaths.
On the reasonable assumption that enemy flak over England was fairly minimal , it suggests that whatever the causes a lot of people died out of 'action'.
I suppose one would need to know the people miles flown in training and on ops to garner a fair figure, but I suspect that rather more fuel was available for ops deep into enemy territory than blundering about in English airspace.

Nutrient In Grapes
Flavonoids in Grape serves as a potent anti oxidant that works as a cancer preventative, can inhibit the oxidation of LDL in the coronary vessel wall, has antimicrobial effects, improve endothelial function, inhibit atherosclerosis (fatty deposits in blood vessels).
Quercetin is a phytochemical that include flavonoids, have anti oxidant activity, inhibiting protein kinases and DNA topoisomerases, regulate gene expression, also modulate the expression of genes associated with oxidative stress and anti oxidant defense system.
Quercetin is able to change the expression of cell cycle regulators and apoptotic proteins so as to effectively prevent prostate cancer, mutation of the p53 protein and inhibits the G2-M phase so as to effectively prevent breast cancer, inhibits cell differentiation so that either prevent malignancy of colorectal (colon and rectum), also play a role in the phase G2 / M, so the potential to treat leukemia. Further research is needed on these findings.
Polyphenols are also anti oxidants. In grapes known as resveratrol, inhibits the function of enzymes and stimulates the growth of cancer cells suppress the immune system.
In fact, resveratrol has been known for centuries in Asian medical world as Ko-jo-cone, in the form of flour / powdered root of Polygonum cuspidatum, as anti inflammatory drugs. Interestingly, resveratrol in grape skin serves as a powerful anti oxidant, take place protective against ischemia reperfusion events (lack of blood supply), especially in skeletal muscle (skeleton) rats.
Resveratrol can suppress NF-kB activation and pr-downregulate various gene products trigger inflammation, such as COX-2, 5-LOX, IL-1b, and IL-6, which all play an important role in the occurrence of inflammation of the joints (arthritis). This shows the role of preventive therapy for arthritis as well.
Resveratrol also has an effect so as to prevent anti proliferasi histiositik lymphoma and cancers of the colon (large intestine), alters gene expression in the androgen axis and cell cycle regulation so as to effectively prevent prostate cancer.
The components on the anti microbial effect of wine, such as gallic acid, hydroxycinnamic acids, flavanols, flavonols, trans-resveratrol, and tannin.
Other compounds also multi-nutrient. Saponin (15 mg / day) can lower blood sugar levels, inhibit and prevent the absorption of cholesterol in the blood. Ellagic acid helps slow down the development of tumors.
Magnesium launched a bowel movement. Manganese helps stabilize blood sugar, play a role in the metabolism of fat, connective tissue and bone formation. Proanthocyanidine can prevent strokes, heart attacks, and fight the aging process.
Choose grapes that are still fused with the stem, the same size and uniform, intact, its surface smooth, not dry stalks. To be durable and long lasting, wine should be stored in the refrigerator. Wash with soap before eating a special fruit. Eat with the skin because it is rich in flavonoids.
In order to maintain stamina and health, as well as remove toxins in the body, drink grape juice or eat fresh grapes every day for a week in a row. Hemm … Apparently, in addition to delicious and healthy, the wine is also multi-nutrient. Want to try?

Weapon producers in the United States produced a record number of tools in 2012, as new federal government information suggests Autonomous presidents may really be a benefit to guns manufacturers.
Baseding on numbers released by US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Dynamites, greater than 8.5 million weapons were produced in 2012, in contrasted with about 6.5 million in 2011. That's a 31 percent boost, and the greatest number taped since the firm started tracking gun production in 1986.
Remarkably, a 2013 research study by the National Point of view Research Facility located that weapon ownership per home has in fact declined to its most affordable level in greater than 30 years, so exactly what accounts for the high sales? According to one gun advocate, it's President Barack Obama.
"Barack Obama is the stimulus plan for the firearms industry," Dave Worker, senior editor of Gun Mag, a print and digital magazine of the Second Change Foundation, mentioned to Bloomberg News. "The greatest paradox of the Obama administration is that the one market that he might not have actually actually suched as to see healthy and balanced has become the healthiest industry in the United States.".
As noted by Bloomberg, more than 26 million were created during Obama's very first term alone. Former Head of state George W. Shrub, a Republican politician, was in workplace for 8 years before 28 million weapons were made.
Expense Clinton's Autonomous presidency, which saw the federal government required background checks for gun acquisitions, likewise enhanced firearms makers, who generated 33 million firearms over eight years. During George H.W. Shrub's one term, 16 million weapons were made.
Even gun control proponents find some truth to the concept that Autonomous head of states assist cause a surge in gun sales. Baseding on Brian Malte of the Brady Campaign to stop Weapon Brutality, weapon proponents have "demonized" Obama in order to offer even more guns to a smaller sized customer base.
"We view the percentage of households having weapons decreasing," he said to Bloomberg, "which shows that those who currently possess weapons are acquiring additional of them.".
Obama generally prevented the gun control discussion during his first term, but he came out for reforms after the Sandy Hook Elementary School bloodbath that saw 20 kids eliminated by a gunman.
Although Congress has failed to pass legislation on the federal degree, some states have actually advanced with their own weapon control campaigns. California, as an example, lately indicated its purpose to execute its "microstamping" weapon regulation, which calls for suppliers to inscribe gun information on bullet casings when they're axed. This has actually caused some gun makers to take different models from the market.
No matter, the most recent federal government data seems to dovetail with the financial results of gun molds like Smith & Wesson, which experienced record sales throughout its 2013 financial year. As RT mentioned last year, the maker claimed its sales of $588 million were a 43 percent increase over the previous fiscal year.
Whether such top-level sales can precede remains to be seen, yet background check information appears to recommend 2013 it's feasible. The FBI performed greater than 21 million background checks associated with weapon sales in 2013, a 7 percent rise over 2012.

I recently visited the beautiful country of Ecuador. It's an amazing place of time, sights, and smells. A tiny little country (about the size of the state of Nevada) with a vast variety of elevations and environments.
It's a nation divided into at least four diverse areas. The home of The Galapagos Islands, just a 1000 kilometers off the Ecuadorian coast. And then there are the highlands, that include the colonial capital city, Quito, laying in its Andean mountain bowl at around 9000 feet in elevation. There is the rain forest of the "El Oriente", the Amazon Basin lowlands east of the Andes, which is home to numerous indigenous groups, exotic animals, and many jungle lodges. Lastly, the there are the lowlands that include the country's largest city and most important port, Guayaquil.
With that said, this article is not written as a travel review, it is simply some of my personal observations while a guest in this wonderful little country for a short but sweet visit. And without order or particular reason, I pass these rambling thoughts on anyone who is bored enough to read them.
Ecuador is a country where the official government approved currency is the U.S. dollar. Dead American Presidents abound, the difference being you really do get more cluck for your buck but we will go into that later. The primary choice of money used in most transactions, is that little gold one dollar coin that is looked on with utter destain here in the good old U.S. of A. Any bills used here are used there (with the exception of the bill noted below), and in addition you can shop with your half dollars, quarters, dimes, nickels and pennys. If you don't have any, you will quickly find that, in your change, there are the equivalent coins of equal size and value but engraved with the busts of dead Ecuadorian presidents. One is quick to discover that Benjamin Franklin is revered and respected in this country so far from his home. However, I amazed and confused my Ecuadorian friends by handing out $2 bills, which were loudly denounced as counterfeit and not be used in any circumstance.
"Yes, we have no bananas
We have-a no bananas today
We've string beans, and onions
Cabashes, and scallions,
And all sorts of fruit and say
We have an old fashioned tomato
A Long Island potato But yes, we have no bananas
We have no bananas today." (Billy Jones, October 1923)
You better not run out of bananas in Ecuador, especially green ones. Fried green bananas are a staple food there. Called patacones, these little snacks are served with everything. One of the most interesting dishes I ate in Ecuador was shrimp ceviche. I love ceviche, but to my surprise, the local version is always served with patacones and, yes, popcorn.
My host introduced me to the national Ecuadorian breakfast. Again green bananas come into play. The dish is known as "bolla". My friend took me to a local restaurant where about 100 people were in line, she set me at a table to save seats and joined the line. About ten minutes later she arrived with a tray that had a large multicolored grapefruit sized ball in the middle of it. That ball was the revered "bolla", she quickly cut the globe in half and deposited each on separate plates. I was told to go ahead and enjoy this epicurean delight laid out before me. I tasted and found that the dish, to my simple palate was, well, boring. "Bolla" is mashed green bananas, mixed with mild cheese and bits of fried pork skin, served without any sauce. When asked how I liked it, I gave my quick one word review, "Bland". I was quickly dismissed as suffering from a lack of culture and, certainly, was born without any sense of taste in fine food. It is a guilt I have forced myself to live with.
I am practicing advocate of the theory: "I will eat anything ONCE, if I don't like it I won't ever let it pass my lips again." In my pre-travel studies of this country, I discovered that in Ecuador and most Andean countries a popular dish by name of "Cuy" was served. "Cuy" (pictured above) is basically a Guinea Pig on a stick, roasted over a charcoal fire. I was itching for the opportunity to experience this culinary delight, and at the first opportunity, I found a restaurant that served the crispy little critters. I opened the menu, my heart pumping with anticipation, when I was shocked into reality. This blackened rodent came with a price of $20, in a country where filet Mignon at TGIF (Yup, the same restaurant you find in malls all over America, right down to the red pin striped uniforms) was the top menu price at 11 bucks! No way was I was paying twenty bucks for a $1 rodent. When I asked my hosts why it was so expensive, it was explained that no Ecuadorians of any statue would be caught dead eating such a thing, but the tourist clammored for it and were willing to pay the price. I will happily pay $20 for the smallest of small teaspoon of Beluga caviar, but 20 bucks for something that might sit in one of my grandkids bedrooms, joyously spinning it's wheel hour upon hour....NO, I shant... I drew my line in the sand. Someone else will have to give a report on what I missed.
I promised my friend and her family to put on a show of my fantastic cooking skills and prepare a great spaghetti meal for all. This prospect was met with delight by all, and I was whisked off to the Ecuadorian version of the "Whole Foods Market". Located in the local three story mall next to the Tag Heuer watch store, across from the 20 some plex cinema, close the Nike store, the market was huge. I quickly bought my extra lean ground sirloin, virgin olive oil, fresh herbs and fresh mushrooms and other needed ingredients when a sign in English caught my eye."IMPORTED CALIFORNIA GRAPES", it said. Yum, I said, as I quickly motored my cart over to the display. I love grapes and eat them here daily. I was stunned when I recognized the bag in which the grapes were packed. It was the identical bag, right down to the code numbers, that I purchased reguarly at my local Albertsons for $2.99 a pound. The price there in Ecuador, thousands of miles away from the California home was $.80 a pound. Common sense washed over my mind and the question was silently asked by myself to myself..."How can it be cheaper to buy California grapes, the same grapes sold in my neighborhood store, here than in California? The answer is obvious, just another situation of "fuck the consumer." I brought the bag home and asked the local manager at Albertson's how could this happen...He was dumbfounded and simply responded, "he didn't have a clue."
The largest chain of gas stations in Ecuador is Shell, if my memory serves me right, Mobil also had a huge presence . A gallon of regular gas sold for $1.42. Hugo Chavez had been in Ecuador the day earlier and he promised to fund new refineries at a cost of millions of dollars. I had received an e-mail from a friend in Uruguay the day I arrived, two days earlier Mr Chavez had promised the little country a never ending supply of gas. No wonder he is looked upon as a hero in these third world nations. And of course American oil companies having no problem selling and profiting from Mr Chavez's oil.
So there you have it, random thoughts of a really cool vacation in a very cool place, I will go back soon and maybe the next time talk about the places to see and the things to do. For hippies, stoners, surfers and those just looking for a mellow vibe, GOOGLE, Monanita beach, I could have just hung there for a month.

--British Racing Green with Black interior, Black carpeting with Black soft top, showing 47,000 miles, Exceptional restoration by marque specialists Fourintune, Only 4,000 collector owner miles since restoration, 3.0 liter 6-cylinder engine, 4-speed manual transmission, Numbers matching, BMHT Heritage Certificate.
1967 marked the last year and final version of the "big" Healey, the 3000 Mark III, series BJ8. The 3-litre, 6-cylinder, twin SU carburetors engine produced 150bhp, which was the most of any model in the Austin Healey lineup. The Phase II Healey 3000 improvements included a revised exhaust system, a revised rear suspension to increase ride height for improved ground clearance, and a vacuum brake booster as standard. The 3000 Mark III series BJ8 was the only model in the range of Austin Healey's that featured a lavish cockpit including a dashboard of burled walnut veneer, a center console with the curved windscreen, wing windows and roll-up side windows which were introduced just before on the series BJ7 model. It is clearly the most comfortable and most luxurious of all Austin Healey's.
This 1967 Austin Healey 3000 MK III BJ8 was produced in May 1967 and has since lead a very charmed life. The restoration took place in 1999 by marque specialists, Fourintune Garage. Tom Kovacs noted during the restoration that no floor pan or door jamp repairs were required, but a complete mechanical refreshing was in order. A "Texas Cooler" shrouded fan was installed for drivability. Since restoration, this Healey has been collector owned and cared for and enjoyed in limited use.
This Healey 3000 is a complete matching numbers car with all original panels and includes all books, full documented restoration documents, BMHT Heritage Certificate, and workshop manuals. The quality and condition of both the interior and exterior will be certainly appreciated as this "big Healey" is complete and ready for show or touring pleasure.

Hey! I want to share this easy project with you! I wanted to make some new coasters for myself as the ones we have are very light and when you have a sweaty cup sitting on it, it sticks to the cup when you lift it up! ANNOYING!!! So this is what I came up with.
I bought some 4x4 white ceramic tiles from Rona for about $.40/pce. I bought a kit of surface protectors [ cork, rubber and felt] to put under the tiles. The "real" size of these tiles were more like 4 1/4" x 4 1/4", so I cut my paper into 4x4 pieces. I used less then one 12x12 piece of paper for six coasters!
I used a matte medium by Ranger to adhere the paper to the tile in THIN coats of the glue so the paper doesn't pucker and get glue trapped underneath. I then applied 2 more coats of the matte medium on top of the paper, drying between each coat.
To seal off the tiles I sprayed 2-3 coats of a matte moisture proof protector on top, following the directions on the can. Then enjoy! Its as simple as that! Let me know if you give it a try! Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone.
I have had a while to think about what direction I would like to take this year. I have to admit I have been very disappointed with the participation rate for the Blog Hop Competition and will not be going forward with it again this year.
I would like to hear from you. What would you like to see happen? Our designers have come up with a few ideas from starting up a card swap group to Facebook participation competition. Of course my main aim is to obtain more business and that means selling more product. Would you all prefer more Youtube videos like Jennifer McGuire and Sandy Allnock?
Please share your thoughts.

Born and raised in Houston Texas, I graduated from Texas Tech University with a degree in elementary education and a passion for art. After teaching for 23 years, I retired to concentrate on cultivating and sharing my own work. The beautiful world God made inspires me to paint mostly realistic to impressionistic through my media of choice, watercolor and acrylic
and beginning to do work in pastel.
Many thanks to internationally recognized artists, Shirley Sterling, Eldon Faries, Jerry Yarnell, Laurie Humble and Gabe Riquelme whom I have studied under. They have challenged and inspired me.
Thank you for visiting my website,…. I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I did painting them.

A motorist has taken road rage to a whole new level as he smashed up his own 120,000 euro (£100,000) BMW with a sledgehammer and axe because of his frustration with the car's ongoing problems - reports metro.co.uk.
Pourmohseni Hadi said he was so fed up with his BMW M6 after more than four years of problems that he staged a bizarre rage-fuelled protest by smashing up the car outside the world's biggest motor show – the annual Frankfurt Auto Show.
Mr Hadi and friend Thomas Brunner were filmed hacking and hitting the black BMW, which he bought in 2008.
He claims that he has had to deal with persistent problems including vibrations, rattling and shifting jolts during gear changes.
Crowds gathered around to watch the dramatic incident unfold and eventually the police stepped in to quiz the men before they continued to smash up the luxury vehicle.
Mr Hadi, who lives in Italy, said that he had taken the car to a number of Italian BMW workshops but all of them failed to fix it.
Speaking to German newspaper Blid, he said: 'BMW Italia and the Munich headquarters have pushed the responsibility back and forth. I have written BMW a letter – no response. Now I answer! With this action!'
A BMW spokesman has reportedly said the company would look into Mr Hadi's case.

In the main, a design and manufacturing company would not really wish to share testing techniques with its clients. However, a recent test of a new product has been so much fun that Sunsquare simply cannot resist sharing some of the extremes they go to, to ensure their clients get the very, very best. It's what defines Sunsquare.
Over the last couple of years Sunsquare has been looking at the way Skylights are packaged and delivered to our clients. Skylights do not like to be stacked and certainly are fragile. They also do not like to be kept on their sides, so this can mean that delivery can be quite expensive and packaging can be very time consuming.
Sunsquare have designed a unique type of reusable packaging that is not only extremely durable, but will allow Sunsquare to have the lowest carbon footprint of any company in the industry.
During the process of design Sunsquare worked together with a world leading packaging company and eventually a final design was finally approved and product was ready to be tested. Our team was then tasked with taking any implement they could to try to damage the packaging enough to then damage the skylight. The design team were extremely pleased with the result until the technical director, James Boughton, had an idea.....
"I thought that to truly test a product it should be done in it's natural environment. It's all very well us trying to produce the right conditions for testing, but in reality, the true test of a good design is when it leaves our design benches and is pushed into the big wide world" said James.
So a brand new Skylight was sent packing on the journey of a lifetime. Sunsquare try to deliver every product in it's own vehicles, but there are times and reasons that this is not always possible and they have to then rely on third party carriers. Quite often, if the skylight is to travel a fair distance, it will be off-loaded and then reloaded at depots on it's journey. When dealing with a fragile product, this carries risks. Even though there are large "fragile" and "this way up" stickers all over Sunsquare skylight packaging, that does not guarantee that carriers are quite as careful as Sunsquare would be with their high specification skylights.
The new skylight (to be launched at Grand Designs Live) was sent by third party around the country to various destinations without the slightest indication on the new packaging that there were fragile goods inside. The package was photographed by our willing test partners and then the skylight was sent to the next destination. Cutting a long story short, the skylight had been traveling for nearly two weeks around the country covering some 600 miles and many, many off-loading and re-loading maneuvers. It finally came back to Sunsquare's head office to see what condition the skylight was in on it's return.
The team gathered around what can only be described as a well worn package that had obviously been hit with a forklift at least twice and was certainly not cared for as one would expect. The packaging was removed to reveal that the skylight that had no protective materials on it at all was in perfect condition despite the best efforts of the courier companies.
The new packaging will be available in the coming weeks and will not only have obvious benefits to both Sunsquare and it's valued clients, but it will make Sunsquare the greenest company in the industry by far.

Gundlach – Don't Fear the 3% Yield on the 10-Year
Fear that the multi-decade bull market in bonds will end has centered on the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield breaching 3%. But Jeffrey Gundlach said that is the wrong focus. Instead, investors should worry if the 30-year "long bond" goes above 3.22%.
Gundlach is the founder and chief investment officer of Los Angeles-based DoubleLine Capital. He spoke to investors via a conference call yesterday. Slides from that presentation are available here. The focus of his talk was DoubleLine's asset-allocation mutual funds, DBLFX and DFLEX.
"I am not that concerned about the 3% yield on the 10-year Treasury," Gundlach said. "The 3.22% yield on the long bond is a bigger deal."
"If the 30-year takes out that yield," Gundlach said, "then the 10-year yield will break out upwards." He said that the 10-year yield could then break 4% relatively quickly, which would be "problematic" for competing assets – specifically equities.
The 10-year yield last closed above 3% on April 24 and remained above that level for three days. It closed at 2.97% yesterday.
The 3.22% yield on the 30-year is significant, Gundlach said, because it is a "resistance" level that was last reached on February 21, 2018. It closed at 3.13% yesterday.
Rates will break to the upside, Gundlach said, but he qualified that comment as "not a high conviction forecast." He said that investors should be reactive and "let the market play things out."
"This is not a bad place to own bonds," Gundlach said.
I will discuss Gundlach's assessment of valuations in various sectors of the bond market. But, first, let's look at what he said about the odds of a recession and the economic forces driving the bond market.
What is the chance of a recession in the next year?
Since 2010, real GDP growth has been extremely stable, according to Gundlach – between 1.25% and 2.25% without much variation. "We are now at the higher end of the range," he said. The current expansion, at 36 quarters, is surpassed only by the 2001 expansion in terms of its length. He said there were at least three others with as much cumulative growth.
Gundlach said this expansion has been "aided and abetted" by monetary policy, "but now we are going to see the opposite."
Monetary policy has already tightened in the U.S. and Gundlach said he expects quantitative easing (QE) to end in Europe this year.
Unless the leading economic indicator (LEI) goes negative, he said, there is no chance of a recession. It has been rising for about a year, he said, and is above 5%, but it showed a downtick recently. It would need to weaken further to show a possibility of a recession in 2019, according to Gundlach.
The ISM purchasing manager index (PMI) needs to go below 50 to signal a recession, according to Gundlach. It has fallen off sharply in the last couple of months, he said, but that would need to continue for a few months to signal an oncoming recession. There has been a slowdown in growth in Europe, he said, that might signal the peak of the business cycle.
Gundlach said that high-yield spreads typically expand starting a year before a recession by as much as 400 basis points, based on the last two recessions. High-yield bond investors "seem to know more than Treasury investors," Gundlach said, because government yields have not risen in anticipation of recessions as noticeably as have junk bonds. High-yield spreads have widened by a "very small amount" and "bear watching," he said, but they are not giving a recessionary signal.
The economic surprise indices, which measure actual data versus expectations, are a "little bit disconcerting," Gundlach said. They include both hard and soft data, and the latter was very strong just after the election, but has weakened since.
According to Gundlach, recessions happen when the two-year to 10-year spread goes negative. The spread is now 47 basis points. The yield curve has flattened, but Gundlach refuted claims that the yield curve has been "flattening like a banshee" this year. Indeed, he said, the slope has not changed much year-to-date – only a seven basis point flattening. The flattening happened in 2017, he said; this year has seen mostly a parallel shift up in yield.
"I would not get concerned about the yield curve unless we reestablished that flattening trend," he said.
Inflation and commodities
Turning to inflation, Gundlach said the CPI has been remarkably stable since World War II, aside from recessions. The CPI has gone up, he said, as is typical in the late stages of the business cycle when the Fed tightens – but it is not signaling a recession. Gundlach said that core CPI is now 2.1% year-over-year, which is above the Fed's 2% target, and it is getting quite close to 2.25%
"Market psychology depends on whether the core CPI goes above 2.25%," Gundlach said. It hasn't been there since 2007 or 2008 and that level will trigger a "real change in attitude."
Inflation in core services has been rising since 2011, while core goods had mostly been declining over that period, he said. Both are increasing now. As an aside, Gundlach said that core CPI has never been above 3% in the last 30 years.
Wage growth has been 4% in the second quarter, although Gundlach said it has typically been downgraded after strong reports at the beginning of a quarter.
The dollar should move higher, he said, to as much as 94-95 based on the DXY index. It has moved up about 4% to 5% this year, which Gundlach said explains the drop in the price of gold over that period.
Oil has risen to approximately $70/barrel, which is amplified in non-U.S. markets whose currencies have weakened against the dollar, according to Gundlach. He said it is surprising that emerging equity and bond markets have not done worse than they have this year, given the strength of the dollar. Emerging-market performance has been historically strongly correlated to the strength of the dollar against emerging-market currencies.
Gundlach did not speak as extensively about the federal deficit as he has in prior webcasts. But he warned that the combination of growing deficits and future Fed rate hikes would be a "dangerous cocktail." Deficits and interest rates have consequences for long-term investors, he said, but they are not something that gives an investable signal in the short term.
Fed chairpersons typically hike rates at the end of their tenure, according to Gundlach. They leave at prosperous times, he said, as did Yellen at the precise peak in the equity market.
According to the Taylor rule, the Fed funds rate should be at 4.75%, Gundlach said. "That gives the Fed cover to continue to raise rates."
The bond and equity market outlooks
In 2018, success in the bond market has been tied to keeping duration short, Gundlach said, as rates have been rising. He said the best performing sector has been bank loans, represented by the ETF BKLN. He said it has the best "Sherman ratio," a metric popularized by Gundlach's colleague, Jeffrey Sherman, which is calculated by dividing the yield by the duration. "Nothing is close" to the Sherman yield of bank loans, Gundlach said.
He went through various sectors of the bond market, commenting on their valuations relative to Treasury bond:
- Investment grade was the most overvalued sector at the start of the year and it is a still "bad time" to be long. There is a lot of leverage in the corporate sector, Gundlach said.
- Mortgage-backed securities (MBS) are "a little rich" versus Treasury bonds.
- Emerging-market bonds similarly overvalued as are MBS.
- High-yield bonds are absurdly overvalued versus 10-year Treasury bonds, but he said that they should be matched to the long bond. On that basis, high yield is still highly valued, but not as badly.
Gundlach reiterated his prior prediction that the S&P 500 would register negative returns for 2018. But he said that the Shiller cyclically adjusted price-earning (CAPE) ratio was 30% higher in 2000 than it is now. However, on a forward-earnings or price-to-sales basis, valuations are "off the charts," he said.
One of the great arguments for owning equities – the fact that dividends yields were greater than bond market yields – is no longer true. Gundlach said the dividend yield on the S&P 500 is 1.97%, which is not only lower than the 10-year yield but it is lower than the one-year Treasury bill rate.
"The value argument for the S&P versus bonds is pretty bad," Gundlach said.

Nations has developed the Arts in Education program to respond to the
need for attractive and interactive arts programming and to help nourish
students' need for art in our time, in which most administrators and politicians
feel that the arts are unnecessary ornaments.
the last ten years, The Four Nations Ensemble has worked with selected
schools in New York City and around the country. The trio, in cooperation
with teachers, creates festivals of music, poetry, art and history. Concerts,
art workshops, explorations of life in the Baroque era, exercises in writing
prose and poetry, and projects that use skills of math and language enhance
and enrich both the students' and teachers' work.
of the arts can be focused around an historical period (Music and young
America), an aesthetic period (early Romanticism), a personality (Juana
Inez de la Cruz or Beethoven) or a structural issue (variations, sonatas).
Connections are made between all the arts while students write original
poetry and paint images in an effort to translate sound into image and
member of the Four Nations Ensemble is committed to spreading the messages
and joy of great art to young men and women, and our concerts for students
are prepared with the same attention as performances for our most discriminating
audiences. Only by hearing interpretations of integrity and intensity
will classical music become necessary experiences for new audiences.
see three hundred children every morning listening in rapt silence
to Baroque music is a sight to behold. Four Nations reminds us that
it is easy to underestimate the children we teach. It was music that
created this awareness."
Jane Oxton, School Arts Coordinator, St. Cloud,
Four Nations Ensemble has developed special relationships with colleges
and universities throughout the country. Each school demonstrates a different
personality with varied needs and the Ensemble responds with programs
tailored to differing levels of experience and interest.
programs range from professional workshops in performance practice to
lecture demonstrations connecting classical music to larger humanities
studies. Programs illuminating relationships between great writers (Shakespeare
and Donne), painters (Goya or Rembrandt), and important events in scientific
or social history (Galileo, the French Revolution) make music a vivid
illustrator of our cultural past. A working and familial relationship
has developed between the musicians of the Ensemble and faculty members
at the residency schools which enriches Four Nations' work on campus and
throughout the community.
its work with Arts in Education and universities, The Four Nations Ensemble has
enjoyed funding from Chamber Music America, The Presser Foundation, The
J. M. Kaplan Fund, The Ruth and Gerald Dickler Foundation, The Herman
Goldman Foundation, the New York State Council on the Arts, and the National
Endowment for the Arts.
talks are an integral part of a Four Nations concert. The music at hand
is placed in context through allusions to society, history, art and literature.
Humorous and sometimes shocking anecdotes convey serious and illuminating
information. Andrew Appel, artistic director of the ensemble, challenges
the audience with questions and signposts that direct the attention of
each listener and enhance his or her enjoyment of the repertoire.
chamber music concert by The Four Nations Ensemble is not meant to feel
like a presentation of a virtuoso in isolation. Chamber music is about
interaction, about an exchange of ideas. In educational, amusing and non-didactic
pre-concert discussions, relationships are drawn between the less familiar
world of music and the more commonly known arena of literature, art, and
history. Information and issues are brought to the fore in order to focus
the audiences' attention on savory and remarkable aspects of the music
and to make clear the relationships that exist between every piece on
the program.
the audiences of the past, all of whom played instruments and knew the
issues of structure and technique, today's audience responds to and benefits
from information as an aid to appreciation and pleasure.Turning the concert
hall into the music room and the artists into guests and friends is one
challenge to today's musicians, and one that The Four Nations Ensemble

In a previous post, we noted that winter weather contributes to an increase in falls and strained backs, which means an increase in radiology use.
Winter also means an increase in cardiology visits.
Why? For one, cold weather constricts blood vessels – raising blood pressure – and contributes to blood clot formation. Combine that with exertion (from shoveling, for example) and you've got a recipe for heart trouble.
People with symptoms of heart trouble also tend to postpone treatment until after the holidays, which may account for the fact that the above numbers hold in warm as well as cold climates.
People also tend to consume more alcohol, smoke more, eat more fatty foods, and experience extra emotional stress during the holidays; and many take time off from their regular exercise routines. Some doctors have even labeled atrial fibrillation caused by alcohol a "holiday heart."
So again: winter means an increase in cardiology visits. That means it's a good time to remind cardiologists of the benefits of a cardiovascular information system (CVIS):
- Quick and easy access to images. No time wasted waiting for images to be developed and transferred to the cardiology lab. This can mean increased productivity and efficiency for the cardiology department and the entire medical facility.
- Integrated information. Any CVIS these days is compatible with electronic health records and other hospital information systems. A cardiologist can view a patient's entire health history and current medications along with his or her cardiac images.
- Improved finances. When a CVIS is integrated with a medical facility's billing system, fewer charges are lost and bills are sent out more quickly, helping to reduce the number of denials and potentially increasing cash flow.

My wife is Hispanic. She's beautiful, intelligent, and hard working. She recently lost her job and with her qualifications finding a new job should be an easy task. But she can't find a job. Why? Because she doesn't speak Spanish. Her parents speak Spanish. Her aunts and uncles speak Spanish. She and her brothers though, do not. Why is that you ask? I'll tell you why.
Her parents are both Hispanic. Her father is from Mexico, and her mother was born here in Texas. They were raised with the belief that to be a part of the American culture, one must learn the English language. Learning English was the key to the good life. If you wanted an education, you had to learn English. English was the key to finding a good job. All business was conducted in English. Government forms were all printed in English. Yes, learning English was the key.
Now English is not an easy language to learn. In fact, English is one of the most difficult languages to learn period. I mean if you think about it, American school children are taught English for 12 years, and a large majority of them have failed to master it. Even our own President doesn't seem to be a native speaker, but I digress. If you want to know just how difficult it is to learn, just Google "learn English" and be prepared to wade through the results.
After enduring the difficult task of learning English themselves, my wife's parents, and many other Hispanic parents did what they thought was best for their children. They brought them up in a household where only English was spoken. They did not want their children to endure the racism and hardships brought upon them by not knowing English. Little did they know that they were actually doing them a disservice and would eventually make it more difficult for them as they got older. Not only would this result in them having difficulty finding a job, it would actually cause them to experience a type of reverse racism.
The reverse racism I am speaking of is I guess what you would call race on race racism. That's the only way I can think of to describe it. What I am talking about is my wife and the many others like her being looked down upon by other Hispanics. One time she walked into an Insurance office that had a "NOW HIRING" sign hanging outside of it. Insurance is what my wife does for a living. She is licensed and has over 7 years of experience. She's definitely qualified. So the first question the owner (a Hispanic lady) asks her when she turns in her resume is "You speak Spanish, right?". Upon hearing my wife's answer of "Sorry, no", she impolitely says "Thank you" and that was that. She didn't even bother to look at the resume to determine whether or not my wife was qualified.
This is becoming the case for people of all races now. The recent influx of non-English speaking immigrants is prompting business of all types to hire only "bi-lingual†candidates. Its racism come full circle and it's time that it be put to an end, but this discussion is better suited for it's own article.

Google changes its algorithm constantly, so an update is hardly newsworthy unless it causes major changes. Something pretty big apparently happened with the algorithm on June 17 – so big that Moz is calling it the "Colossus" update.
I don't know if that name's going to catch on or not, but according to its MozCast product, which measures the "temperature" of patterns of the Google algorithm, the update came in at 101.8°F. For comparison, the first Penguin update only registered at 93.1°.
Google has confirmed an update, and said that it's not Panda, Penguin, or HTTPS-related. Other than that, they're really not giving out much in the way of details.
Search Engine Land shares this statement from the company: "This is not a Panda update. As you know, we're always making improvements to our search algorithms and the web is constantly evolving. We're going to continue to work on improvements across the board.
SEL's Barry Schwartz has an interesting theory in that the major change in temperature could have come from Wikipedia going HTTPS which the Wikimedia Foundation recently announced. The thinking is that this could have a substantial impact given that Wikipedia ranks at the top of search results for so many queries.
Either way, Google gets updated constantly, and it's possible that they didn't really do anything all that significant this time.

*(Via CBS Local) – An "electronic threat" against several Los Angeles Unified School District schools has prompted the closure of all of the district's campuses Tuesday.
Superintendent Ramon Cortines said the threat was "conveyed not to one school, but many schools in the district. Details talked about backpacks, other packages."
"This is a rare threat. We get threats all the time," Cortines said, while emphasizing that the threat was directed only at LAUSD schools, but not any specific campus. "I think the circumstances in neighboring San Bernardino, I think what has happened in the nation, I think what happened internationally — I, as superintendent, am not going to take the chance with the life of a student."
The superintendent said he has alerted his staff to speak to the plant managers at all the campuses and asked them to walk the grounds for anything out of order. All of the district's facilities, including early education centers, special education, adult education and charter schools will also be closed and searched.

RASHBAM (1085–1174), Jewish scholar, so called from the initials of his full name, RABBI SAMUEL BEN MEIR, was a leading member of the French school of Biblical exegesis. ' He was a grandson of Rashi (q.v.), but differed in his method of interpretation. He wrote commentaries on the Pentateuch and some other parts of the Scriptures. Rashbam adopts a natural (as distinct from a homiletical and traditional) method; thus (in agreement with the modern school) Rashbam (on Gen. i. 5) maintained that the day began at dawn and not from the previous sunset (as later Jewish custom assumed). Another famous interpretation was Rashbam's view that the much disputed phrase in Gen. xlix. ro must be rendered " Until he cometh to ShiIoh," and refers to the division of the kingdom of Judah after Solomon's death. Rashbam's notes on the Bible are remarkable for brevity, but when he comments on the Talmud—he wrote explanations on several tracts—he is equally noted for prolixity. (I. A.)End of Article: RASHBAM (1085–1174)

There was a spider on my windshield. Inside the car. I went to smush it and it was gone. I am twitchy as hell, despite being inside at the moment. I hate spiders.
That being said, today was pretty awesome. I picked up my bride's maid dress and vowed never to return to a David's Bridal for any reason–at least not the one in Duluth. I got all glittered up and held a mini contact juggling workshop for the FoxTales book club. This time I gave a little introduction, remembered to tell them my name, and gave a brief overview of how I got into vaudeville.
They juggled oranges. They were doing pretty well. I may be holding a summer workshop.
Then Maritza, book club leader/organizer/what have you took me out for drinks and dinner. Fish tacos aren't as icky as they sound. In fact, they were fairly good.
It was such a lovely night, I broke out the LED poi and spun on the sidewalk. There may be a YouTube video of me somewhere, as I astounded a number of people, heard gratifying cheers of "Whoa, look at her! That's so neat!" and even made a dollar! Next time, I bring a hat and busk for real. Poi is so much fun.
I even taught a couple of kids some moves.
Then the advent of the spider occurred on my way home and I swear, that thing better not be in my car tomorrow.
In other, less exciting news, I broke up with my journalist job. Well, clerk-turned-journalist on occasion job. It was sad and very difficult; I really did like it, but it was too far to drive for minimum wage. I was losing money working there, and that's just not good.
I'm done at the end of the month. Then I'll just have one job, a bit more free time for noveling writing and seeing my friends, and hopefully something else comes along.
I'm almost ready to unveil my secret new project, and I hope it'll be as wonderful as I'm hoping. Now that I have time for scheming, I have to catch up on all I missed.

Rage Franchise Not Dead – Does This Make You Happy?
According to id Software co-founder Tim Willits, the Rage IP has not been left for dead. I'm so punny.
In a recent chat with Joystiq, Willits was asked if id Software was going to return to 2011's Rage and maybe release a sequel.

- Sony Santa Monica Is Teasing Something Truly Strange | 2 months ago
"I'm proud of what we did, I'm proud of the universe that we built, the franchise is not dead," Willits replied.
"We're not doing anything immediately with it, but when I designed the universe, I designed it in such a way that it would be easy to step back into.
"I'm still proud that we did something that was different, it wasn't like the games that we've done in the past."
Willits explained that innovations made to the id Tech 5 engine during Rage's development have been carried over to future games from the studio.
"We're adding stuff into it based on the new consoles, and it's allowed people to make different games because the technology is flexible and robust and works on everything", he said.
Personally, I'm not even remotely interested in Rage being continued. Perhaps that's harsh to say, but it's one of the few games I've played where I literally couldn't find a noticeable talking point. The first twenty minutes of Rage was representative of how it would be for the next twenty hours. It was fun for a time, but played it completely safe, got old fast, had zero variety and seemed totally purposeless.
That said, I am intrigued to see what id Software do next.
