A strange thing ...
By hywel
10 comments
I've recently seen a few dead bees on some flowers in my garden.
First of all I saw one stuck to the stamens in the centre of a Clematis flower. Then I saw two more, on different Clematises.
On another day I found a dead bee on a Geranium flower and then another one on a Veronica flower.
With some of the bees there was a white spider – a pearly white coloured spider. I've seen them before but never knew they spun webs on flowers to catch bees.

That's bad news Hywel. I've not seen anything like that but will keep a look out. (Given you a like for the warning, not for the dead bees...)

Oo-er!! I know its natures way but doesn't that sound gruesome, I've never seen anything like that either. I read up on them but didn't look at any photo's or watch any of the video's, not that brave, lol...
4 Jun, 2019
Thank you both.
Lincslass I hadn't thought of looking at a video before you mentioned it so I just did, it was horrible, and if I see any more of those spiders in my garden I will kill them !

White crab spider (misumena vatia) look like the fella?
Don't kill them though. If it is that one apparently they can change colour to yellow according to their hunting area.
4 Jun, 2019
please don't kill them, they eat all sorts of pests and have been known to take young slugs. They don't usually spin webs they just sit with their legs poised like traps. Good ambush killers. they inject digestive juices then 'drink' their prey. they can also be pinky in colour, though that is quite rare. my youngest has taken lots of photos of them as she is looking at their interactions as part of her thesis.
lots of bees just die as they have outlived their short life span. also if caught out in the rain they can die of the cold and wet.

I am getting drowsy bees I put sugar wate out.
Does your council spray insecticide to kill the weeds growing on the pavements and sides like ours do Hywel
I recall around 2017 Wales in Angelsea killed 1500 of honey bees thinking they were wasps.
5 Jun, 2019
I have put one of Victoria's photos of this crab spider in my photo section if you want to see what it looks like. it is on an oxeye daisy.
5 Jun, 2019
I was brave and had a peep, I wouldn't kill them I just steer clear, I'm okay if I know where they are, not keen on them in my house, especially the big ones that visit when autumn comes, I collect fresh conkers every year and believe me that trick does work....
5 Jun, 2019
Linda I must do this, spiders freak me out!! Hywel that's not good, dead beds, have you asked the internet?
7 Jun, 2019
Interesting blog. Hadn't heard of them before, great photo Sbg, I think it's quite an attractive spider, I don't have them in my garden.

By: Tracie Peterson
Marty Olson is a widow who lives in Texas. Her surroundings serve as constant reminders of her past and she desperately wants to run from the pain. She responds to an advertisement placed by Jacob Wythe to marry for appearances only. Jacob lives in Denver so this opportunity will allow Marty to start a new life.
Jacob is rising quickly in the banking industry but the Morgan Bank board has made it clear that a man in his position should be married. Jacob places an ad for a "Lone Star bride" as his heart is still in Texas. He grew up on a ranch and misses his life there. He plans to save enough money so he can one day return to the life he loves. When Jacob places the ad he is looking for nothing more than a woman who will attend social gatherings with him. In exchange he will take care of her every need.
When Marty arrives in Denver the two are married. As their lives become more intertwined, they find themselves embarking on an adventure that neither of them planned. Will the pain of Marty's past and her secrets push Jacob away or draw him closer to her? Will Jacob's desire to return to Texas prove to be too much for Marty?
I really enjoyed this book but I have to say that the ending leaves you with many unanswered questions. The second book called "A Moment in Time" will be released in June so I look forward to seeing how the pieces come together. This book had elements of faith, adventure, romance and mystery. I found myself not wanting to put it down as I wanted to know what happened next. I would definitely recommend this book.
*Thank you to Bethany House for providing me this book in exchange for my honest review.

Hey Nelmamoohead, I've noticed your changing linking on the Infinite Crisis Game Character Pages to link to your wiki. And you also linked to your wiki on the actual Infinite Crisis Game article in the featured characters section.
- Links like that don't go in the featured character section.
- If your going to link to your wiki, (which I don't know if your allowed to or not), put it in the notes or trivia section as that would be more appropriate.
Like I said above, I don't know if your allowed to link to your wiki on our pages or not, so I'd slow down if I was you. At least until an admin tells you otherwise.Loading editor
Ok thanks for the info, sorry about that. I'll put the links in the links section.Loading editor

Experienced Slip and Fall Injury Lawyers That Get Results
Slip and fall accidents can occur on either private or commercial property and under many different conditions. If you were injured you may be able to take legal action to recover financial compensation for your injuries as a result of the negligence of the owner or others responsible for your slip and fall accident. If you were injured while in the course of employment you may also be entitled to seek compensation from the workers' compensation system, as well as the insurance company of the property owner, snow removal contractor, property manager or from the government.
While some people may argue that slip and fall accidents are nothing to make a fuss of, the fact of the matter is, these accidents are often a reflection of dangerous conditions on the property where they occurred. This means that the property owner may be liable for them. Injuries that arise from slip and fall accidents can be severe and, in some cases, life-threatening.

In this lesson i brought what surrealism is and showed a powerpoint of art work all through this movement. ?i taught the students the unique surrealism techniques. ? the essential method we focus for this assignment turned into transformation. ?each student had to select an object from a bin i had. ?they then practiced in their sketchbooks drawing the object first realistically. Then they had to look at the object carefully and brainstorm on what the object could remodel into. ?they then created a 4 page accordion ebook. ?the first page the object is drawn realistically and the ultimate web page the object is transformed into the new object and the pages in among you spot the object reworking. ?they then had to upload a heritage for the item however the background needed to go together with the object that it converted into. ?after they finished that we made a stencil that mentioned the shape in their original and the stenciled a layout with it on the back and front covers.

I went to a self distribution talk tonight at Film Independent. It was an eye opener and I learned a lot. I still have a lot of research to do, but the most important thing I learned was that independent filmmakers must start marketing their films before they even shoot them. Toward that end, I will start a new blog called "LA, I Hate You," the title of my first feature. More about this later, but now, here's the link to Ted Hope's blog:
Every independent filmmaker should be reading it.

>>> i want to respond real quick on food stamps . you are right the amount of people on stamps has increased quite a bit. it was 32 million when the president took over. it's now around 46 million to 47 million. the last big expansion eligibility, the two things that increased are the recession. people have gotten poorer because of the recession and the eligibility ha happened in 2002 signed by president bush . it was voted for by none other than paul ryan . the last expansion of eligibility of food stamps happened under a republican president who voted for paul ryan . the other thing i want to ask about is the redistribution thing. p president believes in it, mitt romney doesn't. if that's the case, why not advocate a flat tax ? if romney doesn't believe in redistribution, he's got the wrong tax plan. real belief would be at the very least a flat tax . i don't understand why he doesn't have the courage to go out there and advocate for a nonredistributive tax plan.
>> actually, if you look at his tax plan closely, it's about as close to a flat tax plan as has existed since the reagan years. what he's done is he -- and what he was advocating for is a highly simplified plan. the tax code , by the way, is 70,000 pages. 70,000. you know why it's 70,000 pages? for the last multiple decades, politicians have sold for donations have sold exemptions to the code. let's simplify it. we can come to that one. let's simplify it. let's lower marginal rates and get rid of, not all, but most of the agregregious exemptions and taxes on the middle class will go down. and no -- i have heard him say this 100 times and i know this for a fact, he says taxes on rich folks are not going to go down because of the elimination of exemptions. the more people hear about this --
>> that's intention with the nonredistributed thing. taxes on wealthy people have to go down. if he doesn't believe in that, he has to reduce the burden of wealthy people. we have a barely, but progressive income tax . if he doesn't believe in redistribution, he has to cut it for the wealthy. it's not the case he is flattening the tax code and not lowering them for rich people .
>> your point -- if your making -- chris, i always like talking with you. you think outside the box . if your point is that a progressive tax code, which is what the united states of america has and it's the right thing, and it's about fairness and fairness of opportunity, your point is there's a technical element of redistribution by virtue of hiring --
>> not just technical -- that's redistribution. you are paying for it!
>> let's be real about it. let's be real about this. when president obama talks about redistribution, chris, you know this is true, when he talks about redistribution, he is talking about a massive difference from the romney plan, which is about simpler, lower marginal rates , getting rid of exemptions and lowering the corporate tax rate to attract business in america .
>> just two points. one, it wasn't just you and rachel maddow that had a problem with governor romney 's comments. i read peggy noonan and david brooks . 67% of them pay payroll. 37% are retirees and elderly. the other 10% are student, military, disabled and yes, those in poverty. on a percentage basis, my guess is a lot of that 47% pays higher than the 14% that governor romney announced.
>> he said this is a choice election. it certainly is, okay. what you are seeing -- do you remember this textbook they used to assign in college called who built america ? it was a history of labor . we are turning that understanding completely upside down. who built america , the people in lower manhattan , finance capital . we are moochers and looters.
>> we got mitt romney 's tax returns and learned he paid 14 -- roughly 14.-something percent. the lowest pays 17.1. this notion of mooching is distorted in terms of the facts. i want to thank you.
>> can i jump in on that one.
>> sorry. we are up against a break. thank you for coming. i'll have you back. economic adviser to mitt romney . thank you all for joining us this morning.
>> thank you.
>>> from act up to occupy, how change does come to washington, when we come back.

A wedding should be a special celebration for every couple. When you are invited, it is an honor, so you have to attend. Some people are preparing themselves very well to look beautiful and neat while at the party. Sadly, some others are wearing the wrong appearance or accessories. If you won't get the same mistakes, read this article because we will discuss "what you shouldn't wear to a wedding".
Probably you have searched on the internet about fashion mistakes for the guess wedding. Then, you find almost all articles showed the mistakes for the women. Well, man, you are wrong. Just because you don't wear jewelry or bring a bag, it doesn't mean you won't get the mistakes too. So, just see what we have below about what you shouldn't wear to a wedding, and never ever try to come to the party with it.
1. Denim
Just because it is your friend's wedding, it doesn't mean you are allowed to go with jeans. Being casual with jeans is a big no for the party. If you love the blue color, then you can wear a sky-blue long-sleeved shirt. Or, if you are a woman, you can choose the baby blue dress or a jumpsuit with a certain fabric.
2. Sparkly Metallics
Probably you want to be noticed with everybody at the party. But, wearing a sparkly metallics color is not a good idea. You are not the king or queen there, so, just forget to attract people's attention. Even though the wedding is set informal, too much beading or sparkle is disturbing. On the other hand, wearing a sparkly gown is still okay, but just don't go to be like a wedding dress.
3. White
You might think white is calm, elegant, or any good thing. Contrarily, if the wedding dress code is not white, we don't recommend you to wear white attire. The white color is only for the bridge. Never steal her spot in the party with your stunning white appearance. As the guess, just let the queen stands alone for that day.
4. No Short
This part is strictly related to all men out there. Even the sun feels so hot, it is not polite wearing short to the wedding. We know that it would be hard but just hold for a while during the wedding only. You can solve the weather by choosing light long pants with linen.
5. Too Many Rips and Holes
This is the very often mistakes happen. A dress with rips and holes might loon unique. But can you imagine if the design has it too many? People will think you want to show your skin under fashion. Sadly, it is the wrong moment to do. See yourself in the mirror before deciding to wear that dress with rips and holes.
We know that recently the wedding has lesser rules, except for the traditional wedding ceremony. If you come to a traditional wedding, there are strict rules to follow. For example, you can't use black for the Hindu ceremony, or red for Chinese weddings. Understanding what you shouldn't wear to a wedding is not only keeping your fashion safe. More than that, it is to appreciate the happiest day of someone.

Killer Cambodian cow arrested and executed
The animal had repeatedly escaped its enclosure and wandered into a nearby road.
Last week a motorcyclist hit it and was killed, local police chief Pin Doman said.
Earlier this year, the cow caused a collision between several vehicles on the same road on the outskirts of the capital Phnom Penh, killing five people and injuring several others, police said.
But following last week's wreck, the cow was seized and kept at the police station for more than a day before being given to the family of the dead motorist, Pin Doman said.
But relatives returned the cow to its owner without demanding compensation, saying the dead man's bad karma might have caused his fateful meeting with the wayward beast, he said.
Its owner, Kob Ry, promptly killed the cow on Sunday and sold the meat, the police chief said.
"The owner wanted to avoid trouble in the future,'' he said.
Fast driving and wandering livestock often result in crashes on Cambodia's rural highways, although human fatalities are rare.

Genetic Algorithms Will Let V'Ger Fly (and Kill Klingons)
The path to the stars is winding and treacherous, and even the best spaceship needs a pilot. Sure, you can employ a shaggy Wookiee — if you can stand the smell. But what you really want is an artificial intelligence capable of flawlessly crunching and executing the necessary calculations. Of course, the dangers of such intelligence are all too clear: As the hapless astronauts aboard the Discovery One discovered when H.A.L. 9000 went loco in 2001: A Space Odyssey, and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise in Star Trek: The Motion Picture learned from the malevolent space cloud V'ger (née Voyager 6), NASA hardware has a tendency to evolve murderously.
Science fiction teaches us we need space probes that can evolve their thinking over the course of a mission, but keep their loyalty to their makers. And now, it looks like NASA's and the European Space Agency's probes will be programmed to do just that.
First, some background: NASA's Voyager probes use gravity assists to leapfrog between planetary bodies — borrowing a planet's gravitational field to fling them to their next destination. The benefits are a significant savings in fuel, but the drawbacks come in the form of mathematical complications: Launch windows can be missed, mechanical failures can occur, and solar flares can knock probes off course. And when you consider the fact that the trajectories for such gravity assists must be plotted months or years ahead of time, the problem becomes staggering.
The solution, says Ian Carnelli of the European Space Agency, is to program space probes with evolving genetic algorithms, which would allow them to pilot themselves. A space probe's computer would constantly run simulated variations of the gravity assist maneuver, taking the most optimal simulated test runs and then "breeding" them with other test runs to calculate the planetary slingshot for any given circumstance.
The concept behind genetic algorithms is to create machines that can adapt to ever-changing circumstances the same way living creatures evolved over millions of years — only in a much shorter time span. Engineer Christopher MacLeod at the Robert Gordon University in the UK has developed a neural network comprised of a series of processing nodes. The actions the robot takes to respond to various stimuli are shaped by adjusting the importance of the input signals to each node. If an action works, the combination is stored. If it fails, the robot compensates. But the real question is, now that the algorithms are being put to work in spacecraft, will robot evolution include a predilection towards singing "Daisy Bell"?
Murderous, singing AIs aside, the potential for evolving genetic algorithms is (forgive the pun) astronomical: Carnelli has already run successful simulations of missions to Mercury via a Venus slingshot, and to Pluto via Jupiter. But the scientist says an actual probe programmed with artificial intelligence is still far off: "We are far from the days when a probe will have its route calculated by a [genetic algorithm] on the fly," he says. "But we have gone a step closer."
Let's just hope that in taking a step closer to the stars with an evolved satellite, we're not also a step closer to having to send the Enterprise to go hunt it down.Read More

Joan Jett, Cyndi Lauper, & Debbie Harry Barbie Dolls!
Mattel is featuring three dolls in their "Ladies of the 80s" Babrie collection. Three rockers are having their likeness adopted into doll form including Joan Jett, Cyndi Lauper and Debbie Harry (Blondie). You can buy them now and I must say, they are right on as for likeness! I wish I would have had these growing up!
Yet, I am not sure how to feel about this one. I think that it is awesome to have dolls inspired by these amazing and talented women. And I grew up with tons of Barbie dolls as a kid, and didn't grow up to be a push over. So, it is a good idea, but maybe include with the doll a CD or two of the women's music, and maybe the idea of picking up an instrument and playing something, or writing something themselves that speaks to them. I am always for some sort of self-directed activity that gets these girls not to live through someone else (or a doll for that matter) but find inspiration, and apply it to themselves and their own unique ideas. There is nothing wrong with dressing up, playing with dolls, and feeling fabulous!
Yet, you cannot ignore the fact that for the most part, Barbie dolls are a western, white, slender-body, upperclass ideal of beauty that most people do not fit. I may not have grown up to be a pushover, but some girls may always have body issues and insecurities that are in part due to these dolls. I know I am not completely secure in my own body and while I am not sure if this is in part due to the dolls, the dolls are a part of a larger social problem of women's self-esteem and health related to being used and abused to sell things and be sold as things. It isn't just the dolls, but the larger social and cultural messages that re-enforce your value as a person based on your looks. No matter what form that comes in, dolls, perfume ads, diet pills, it keeps women in their place worrying about what others think about them, rather than what they think, and should be doing about things like the wage gap or violence against women.
I wonder what Joan, Cyndi and Debbie think of these?
Oooh, and speaking of Barbie, check out Care Bears on Fire's song "Barbie, Eat a Sandwich."
These dolls also remind me of: Jem and the Holograms. These dolls were rock star women based on the TV show of the same name. I loved this show and still do! I even dressed up as Jem for Halloween! They played their own music, dressed in the coolest 80s outfits and saved the world! It's my dream come true! Glam and Glitter, Fashion and Fame! It's Truly Outrageous!

text: Saudi Aramco plans to nearly double its gas production to 651millon cubic meters per day in the next decade, its chief executive said on Tuesday. Amin Nasser also told an industry conference that Saudi Arabia has managed to increase gas production from 99 mcm per day in 1982 to more than 339 mcm now and this figure is expected to double to around 651 mcm during the coming decade, Reuters reported. "Work is under way to execute an ambitious plan to implement this during the coming 10 years," he said, without detailing the plan. Saudi Aramco, the world's largest oil and gas company, has embarked on a massive program to boost gas output for electricity and petrochemical production by developing gas fields not associated with oil production. For instance, it is exploring and developing unconventional gas in the north of the kingdom. Nasser also said Aramco was moving ahead with the strategy "to achieve a better balance between the total exploration and production capacity, which stands at 12 million barrels per day of crude oil, and its refining capacity".

Liebster Award
I was recently nominated by a zinester friend Jeff to answer a few questions and make up my own. Because it's taken me so long to answer these questions I thought I'd post them up and then post up the questions I want to nominate to 11 bloggers in another post.
Another zinester (Fishpit) called my photozines magnificent today. I'm very proud of that review!
1. If you found out that 24 hours from now you will die (and it would be a quick and painless and peaceful death) and you could somehow (maybe even magically) do whatever you want with the last 24 hours of your life, what would you do?
I'd want to take my favourite people with me on a round the world trip on the back of Falkor the luck dragon.
2. If someone were to play you in a movie about you, who would it be? And/or have you ever been compared to or unintentionally reminded anyone of anyone else and/or anyone famous?
I'd love to be played by Cristina Ricci, but she'd need to put on a bit of weight. I've been told I look a bit like Katie Melua before, but I really don't see it.
3. Is there any question you'd like to be asked? If yes, what is that question and what would the answer to that question be? Is there anyone whom you'd prefer to ask you that question, and who would it be and why?
There are many questions I'd like to be asked by many people, but the important one is something I'd like to keep for myself to know and for no one to find out.
4. What turns you on?
Intelligence, and awkwardness
5. What turns you off? And/or what are your pet peeves?
Football, smoking and stupidity.
6. If you were a non-human creature, what would that creature be, and why?
A cat or an octopus. A cat because I could nap all day and play silly games and be cuddled and stroked by friendly people. I'd like to be an Octopus because I love cephalopods and I'd love to live under the sea.
7. What compliment have you received that you are proud of?
You are a treat for all the senses.
8. What's your guilty pleasure(s)?
Musicals and Justin Timberlake.
9. Have you ever somehow experienced a good what-the-f*ck(?!) moment? If yes, what was that moment, and why was it good?
If I have I can't remember it.
10. Were there other names that you considered for naming your blog? If yes, what are they?
Sophie Sherwood, for obvious reasons. Shophia, Shophie of Shuphbun which are nick names.
11. Has there ever been someone or something (like a band, a song, a movie, book, tv show, or it could be something else) that has had a gateway drug-like effect (influencing or inspiring you or leading you to new influences, inspirations, possibilities, discoveries, and doors being opened for you) on you? If yes, who or what is it, and why and how did that process happen?
Blimey! I suppose some of the cartoons and films I watched when I was younger made me want to be creative- Studio Ghibli films, Belleville Rendezvous, and some things that I don't even know the name of. Watching my Dad play music and my mum be constantly creative had influence over me too; making me want to learn an instrument and have a craft of my own.

Nuclear fuel has two enemies larger than a fuel supply problem. The first is the fear of accidents and the resulting near-end to it's development, and the second is the speed at which peak oil is coming at us verses the slowness of building additional plants. Also, it would take a lot more than a 10% growth in nuclear facilities to replace even a small percentage of the existing fossile plants, which would greatly speed the depletion in the above chart, rendering it a moot point to build them to begin with. Nuclear plants charging electric car batteries won't be the solution.
There are no upcoming events right now.

I just read that Red Sox owner Henry plans on cutting payroll...possibly trading a major player like Mookie Betts or JD Martinez for top prospects. White Sox have Vaughn and some secondary prospects like Collins and Rutherford that they could package. Not sure that would be enough.
I'd rather use the excess payroll space we "should" have to add to the team. Our 1st rounder is protected in the draft so go all in on some FAs this summer. Use minor league assets to add next summer if we're in contention.
If Boston let's JD walk if he opts out I'd he all for that if we can get him on a 3-4 year deal. Him into the middle of our lineup makes it absolutely disgusting next year. He's owed about 3/63 so opting out now and seeking a 4/90-4/100 deal is definitely in his interests unless he wants to simply stay in BOS.

Yeah I'd rather go hard for Cole long term, and Cruz on a short term deal, and revisit Right Field and the Bullpen at the trade deadline. That would leave us in play for Mookie as a Free Agent in 2021 if he doesn't get traded and signed long term this year.
Yoan Moncada said that he would be willing to play where ever, and is open to another position change. Lets say we chased Anthony Rendon, would anyone be opposed to him in RF.
3B Rendon
SS Anderson
2B Madrigal
1B Abreu
LF Eloy
CF Robert
RF Moncada
DH Cruz or Martinez
|Sponsored Links
If him or Rendon can play RF, Im all onboard. Id much rather see them go this route than acquiring a DH only type like Cruz. Use the DH spot next year to give guys a day off but keep their bat in the lineup and have Leury sliding all over the field in a utility role.
Especially when we already have 2 DH type players in Eloy and Abreu(assuming we resign)
Those two should get 40-50 games each at DH. And then you can give other guys like Moncada, Robert and whoever we sign the additional time there. Im not a fan of adding another DH only player in Cruz, unless thats all we can end up signing
Any DH we sign should be 1 year max anyways. If Vaughn takes the same path as Madrigal, he will be up early 2021.
I really, really like Maddon.
Any chance we go for him? It would also be kinda amusing for Renteria lol.
Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
Id love to see Maddon take over.
Lets see if Hahn can land 2-3 guys to 3-6 year deals that supplement our core between SP/RF/RP
Im pretty sure most 1st round picks are now protected. I think it depends on your revenue sharing status.
I dont think we are at risk of losing pick #11 regardless of our offseason.

One year ago at the Ira Sohn investor conference, DoubleLine CEO Jeffrey Gundlach caused a stir when he predicted that Donald Trump would win the presidential election, something virtually no other asset manager or pundit agreed with. Gundlach was right.
This year, Gundlach's Sohn presentation was more whimsical and eclectic even if he focused on more mundane financial topics, touching on the recent scramble into passive investing via ETFs and indexes, then turning to markets and observing that US equity valuations have become stretched on numerous metrics, one of which is the value of the S&P 500 relative to US GDP which has risen to historic highs that have even exceeded the dot-com bubble...
... while cyclically adjusted valuations as per the Shiller CAPE are also in nosebleed territory, and that while U.S. stocks could continue to grind higher, it's time to look abroad.
He managed to interweave his financial narrative amid a discussion of Friedrich Nietzsche as well as early 20th century art, focusing on a painting by Max Beckmann called "Night" which he dubbed alternatively as "a portrait of US long-only equity managers" while contrasting them to passive investing which has been on a tremendous run in recent years.
"The Night," Max Beckmann
Going back to the distinction between active and passive investing, Gundlach said passive investing, which he called a "bubble" is ultimately a "myth" without rigid rules, and that managers ultimately decide which stocks are included in indexes. He encouraged investors to take index funds and "throw them out the window" according to CNBC.
'Passive investing is a myth' - Bond King Jeff Gundlach at #Sohn2017 pic.twitter.com/QXI9amFwhp— Sarah Benali (@SdBenali) May 8, 2017
In a subsequent interview with CNBC (see below), Gundlach elaborated that one of the reasons for the US market's dramatic overvaluation is the indescriminate inflows going into all stocks via passive investing vehicles, which has pushed every sector of the market above its fair value.
In terms of his recommendation this year, Gundlach suggested that emerging markets will likely outperform the overvalued US stock market, and that he would short the SPY, or the S&P 500 ETF while going long Emerging Markets, which are looking like a better deal, via the MSCI Emerging Markets ETF EEM. Gundlach said that investors fret that when the Federal Reserve raises it will likely be bullish for the dollar, which hurts EMs returns, but he does not buy that thesis, noting that it often does not come to fruition: "Don't worry about strong dollar" he said.
"Europe is more popular, I just think EM has more potential upside than ever Europe."
Should EMs outperform the US, it would have other investing implications he added: "When emerging markets outperform the S&P 500, active is outperforming the S&P 500." If this were to pan out, it would reverse years of underperformance of active managers versus the broader market. He also argued the outperformance of passive investors in the S&P 500 and the underperformance of Emerging Markets are both cyclical, and both of those cycles are about to change.
He gave a more detailed breakdown of his thinking in the following interview with CNBC shortly after his presentation:
As the FT notes, the pair trade recommended by Gundlach has already started generating returns, with the EEM generating year-to-date price returns of 14.7%, double the return of the S&P.
How did Gundlach's trade recommendation from last year's Sohn conference fare? In 2016, Gundlach recommended shorting the Utilities Sector ETF (XLU) while buying the Mortgage Real Estate Capped ETF (REM). While the utilities ETF returned 8.8% during the past 12 months, this is nearly 10% less than the S&P 500's 18.5% return, while the long end of his trade, the Mortgage ETF, returned 28%, for a generous ~20% return.

According to a survey that was carried out in Germany by a retail outlet known as Postbank, one out of every three people in Germany are of the opinion that cryptocurrency offers some of the best investment opportunities that are available in the country. This survey was carried out between February and March in 2018 and is believed to give a lot of insights into the belief of the German people in the efficacy of cryptocurrency even when most governments as well as world authorities are still very strongly opposed to the use of digital currencies. It is not stated in the survey if any digital currency in particular was chosen over others as an investment opportunity. However, one thing remains obvious: a significant number of Germans are cryptocurrency supporters.
Cryptocurrency is Supported More by Germany's Younger Population
After the survey in Germany by Postbank, it is now generally believed that the German population is in support of cryptocurrency. Although this is quite true, it is not a perfect representation of the situation on ground. The reason for this is quite straight forward. This survey was carried out between two different age groups in Germany. One group is aged 18-34 while the other group that was involved in the survey is a little older. Although the people that were interviewed from the group of people aged 18-34 made up only 46% of the total number of individuals that were surveyed, results proved that more young people were interested in cryptocurrency.
Going by the results of the survey, the German population might not necessarily be interested in cryptocurrency. The group of people in Germany that is actually interested in cryptocurrency are the young people. Now, of these young Germans that are interested in cryptocurrency, 14% of them have already showed interest in buying as well as mining cryptocurrency in the coming year.
Cryptocurrency might not actually be the Best investment opportunity in Germany
According to Postbank's Chief Digital Officer, Dr Thomas Mangel, investments that have anything to do with cryptocurrencies pose a lot of uncertainty and are therefore not worth investing in for young adults. He also went on to say that the German media has given digital currencies more hype that they deserve, ultimately leading to an excessive belief in cryptocurrency irrespective of associated risks.
This survey about the interest of Germans in cryptocurrency was carried out at a time when Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are going through a negative phase. Regardless of this, a lot of Germans still see it as a perfect investment opportunity. This simply implies that when cryptocurrencies recover from the free-fall that they are currently experiencing, the percentage of young Germans that are willing to put all their investments in cryptocurrency will most likely increase.

By Mahesh Jayaram, CSzG Editor and Clinical Consultant Psychiatrist
This is my first ever blog, hence not sure how I go about writing this, however here it goes….
My life as a psychiatrist often involves dealing with people who present with difficulties that even after years of knowing someone takes me aback. Not knowing what challenge will present itself is what makes my job interesting keeps me going. Sometimes though, there is the frustration of coming across the same problem that has confronted me before and not having the right solutions. Patients suffering from schizophrenia have to deal with not only their symptoms, which can often be intrusive and disabling but also with the consequences of suffering from the illness, stigma and impact, it has on their lives. In addition, the medications that are available for this condition are imperfect and cause unacceptable side effects.
From the limited evidence available, what remains clear is that clozapine stands clearly above its comparators in terms of efficacy especially for those who have not had much benefit with other anti psychotic medications. There is an increased consensus both nationally and internationally to initiate clozapine as early as possible for our patients. Whilst I bear this in mind and initiate discussions about clozapine, I find that this repeatedly takes us through a roller coaster journey. Whilst discussing its efficacy, there is usually, hope all around. I am hopeful that it may bring about some reduction in distressing symptoms for my patient. The patient is hopeful that it may improve their quality of life. The carer is relieved that there may after all be a 'the magic pill'. This discussion soon enters a sobering phase when the discussion turns to its side effects. There is the understandable caution and anxiety about blood side effects, cardiac effects, hyper salivation etc etc. Understandably, there is a lot of discussions about what people perceive as serious side effects and those who go onto receive clozapine, usually accept these side effects as a price to pay for something that may work better that what they have had previously.
Hyper salivation is unfortunately one of those annoying side effects that tend to creep up early on in the course of treatment and perhaps something that has not had enough discussions previously or something people consider 'can be managed' in the context of the other more serious side effects. When it does occur, however it is surprising how much it can affect ones day-to-day life. People have to carry tissues around all day, are embarrassed to have conversations in public lest they start drooling and pillow cases need washing everyday and sometimes pillows replacing. One would think that surely there is a solution for this innocuous but troublesome side effect. Surely when you have safeguards for blood dyscrasias and cardiac side effects, hyper-salivation is something the medical fraternity have addressed.
When confronted with this problem in clinic, I look to a Cochrane systematic review on this topic to see if it helps. There exists a review on this topic! Hope! I am thinking maybe there is a solution! Looking into it, there are various interventions that have been trialled. Chinese herbal medicine is not available where I work, so I move on to the next one. Diphenhydramine, propantheline, astemizole, Oryzanol, doxepin, Oryzanolum and even amisulpride! I am intrigued now. There are some drugs that I would have expected, some unexpected (amisulpride), some I have not heard of and surprisingly missing is hyoscine, which I would have expected but is not there. 14/15 studies were conducted in China and 14/15 studies were on inpatients. The reporting of trial data is poor, risk of bias high and no one drug stands out from the crowd. The available evidence is not good enough to inform practice. The roller coaster from hope to disappointment continues. I gather my wits and plod on. We continue to prescribe unlicensed drugs in the vain hope that it may help. Meanwhile if the patient has experienced some improvement with clozapine, is left pondering if this is a price worth paying?
As I am finishing this piece, one of my team nurses walks into my office to say one of her patients on clozapine is dribbling and if I could suggest something. I reply 'guess what I have just been writing about?'

Overnight Retreat Packing List
Having a packing list while preparing to attend an overnight women's retreat makes everything easier. I know that when I am heading out to spend a night or two away from home, I worry that I won't have everything I need. It's not just necessities I think about, but I'm concerned about my comfort level, too.
Knowing exactly what to pack depends on the venue of your retreat. Whether you're meeting in a church or event center but sleeping at a hotel or if you're in a campground setting sleeping in a cabin, you'll need to pack appropriate items. As a women's ministry leader, you'll want to provide a packing list so that each attendee knows what to expect.
I add small font versions of the packing list to the tri-fold brochure and also to the online registration form. I also include a PDF checklist that each person can download if they desire. You'll find the immediate download at the bottom of this post.
General Packing List Items
-Comfortable clothes for each day (don't forget your socks!)
-Comfortable shoes
-Light jacket or sweatshirt
-Toiletries (deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrush, etc.)
-Water bottle
Hotel Packing List
-Items from the general list
-Favorite pillow
-Favorite blanket
Campground Packing List
-Items from both the general and the hotel packing lists
-Sleeping bag or additional bedding
-Heavier jacket (depending on season)
-Walking shoes
-Camp chair (optional for campfire)
Naturally, if the overnight is at a hotel, attendees can purchase any small item they might have forgotten from the hotel itself (such as razor, toothpaste, etc.) or a nearby drugstore. If your retreat will be held at a campground, it's a good idea to offer a small camp store. It'll help anyone who forgot a necessary item.
Feel free to share this post within your planning and promotional materials so that your group will have the list, or even better, download the free PDF checklist and share it with everyone.
It's my hope that these lists will help you in your preparation for an upcoming retreat you plan to attend and/or to help you as you're planning to host your own retreat.

This was the first meal this year made on my grill (I love it!) and dined on in our outdoor sunroom! I love the warmer weather – and last week we had a nice taste of summer. It is often not in the 80's in April in Buffalo! So made the best of it and cooked out for a few meals – luckily there was still propane in my grill. I've actually never had to re-fill it since I got the grill last year – I better check on that. It would really suck to run out of gas in the middle of cooking!Ingredients
- 1/2 tsp. paprika
- 1/8 tsp. salt
- 1/8 tsp. ground pepper
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
- 1/4 tsp. cumin
- 1/4 tsp. thyme
- 1/8 tsp. onion powder
- 1/8 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. cajun seasoning
- 2 tsp. canola oil
- 2 boneless/skinless chicken breast halves
1. Heat your cast iron skillet or grill until it's very hot.
2. Mix together the all of the herbs/spices in a small bowl.
3. Rub 1 tsp. of oil into each piece of chicken, and then press the spice mixture into both sides.
4. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet or grill. Cook about 5 minutes per side, or until chicken is cooked through.

Last U.S. troops leave Iraq as war ends
Cheers ring out as convoy from Iraq to Kuwait completes the drawdown.
KHABARI CROSSING, Kuwait — The last U.S. soldiers rolled out of Iraq across the border to neighboring Kuwait at daybreak today, whooping, fist-bumping and hugging each other in a burst of joy and relief.
CNN reported that at the end, it was about 500 Fort Hood-based soldiers and 110 military vehicles that made the journey south from Camp Adder, near Nasiriya, to the Khabari border crossing. From there, they'd head to Camp Virginia in Kuwait before flying home — in time for at least some to join their families for the Christmas holidays.
They were the last soldiers in what amounted to the largest U.S. troop drawdown since the war in Vietnam.
According to CNN, Brigade Commander Col. Doug Crissman said his soldiers used the cover of night for security and timed the troop movements so as to avoid a traffic jam on the main north-south highway, which the Americans called Main Supply Route Tampa.
Soldiers standing just inside the crossing on the Kuwaiti side of the border waved and snapped photos as the final trucks crossed over.
Spc. Brittany Hampton, 21, was among the last soldiers to leave. "Awesome. It is awesome. I am very proud of it," she said.
They completed the massive logistical challenge of shuttering hundreds of bases and combat outposts, and methodically moving more than 50,000 U.S. troops and their equipment out of Iraq over the past year — while still conducting training, security assistance and counterterrorism battles.
Their exit marked the end of a bitterly divisive war that raged for nearly nine years and left Iraq shattered, with troubling questions lingering over whether the Arab nation will remain a steadfast U.S. ally.
The mission cost nearly 4,500 American and well more than 100,000 Iraqi lives and $800 billion from the U.S. Treasury. The question of whether it was worth it all is yet unanswered.
Capt. Mark Askew, a 28-year-old from Tampa, Fla., who was among the last soldiers to leave, said the answer will depend on what type of country and government Iraq ends up with years from now, whether it is democratic, respect human rights and is considered an American ally.
"It depends on what Iraq does after we leave," he said. "I don't expect them to turn into South Korea or Japan overnight."
The war that began in a blaze of aerial bombardment meant to shock and awe the dictator Saddam Hussein and his loyalists ended quietly and with minimal fanfare.
U.S. officials acknowledged the cost in blood and dollars was high, but tried to paint a picture of victory — for both the troops and the Iraqi people now free from tyranny and on a path toward democracy.

Yvonne Rainer, who is being presented by the KunsthausBregenz in cooperation with the Museum Ludwig in Cologne and the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles, is one of the most vibrant art personalities of the 20th'21st centuries. Even today Rainer's artistic production is not easy to classify adequately, for the established categories such as choreographer, dancer, theoretician, activist, poet, and filmmaker only approximately embrace her influentialand many-sided activities. They say nothing as yet about their mutual interrelations, a feature that is so typical of Rainer's creative work.
Born in San Francisco in 1934, Yvonne Rainer had alreadymoved to New York by 1957 to study dance with the legendary Martha Graham and the early Merce Cunningham. She would later distance herself from their influence, however, as her interest in Martha Graham's expressivedance and in Cunningham's emphasis on improvised and combined chance operations progressively waned. Her experiences with the dancer Anna Halprin and with Robert Dunn, a musician who studied under John Cage, and the friendships that she formed there with Trisha Brown, Elaine Summers, Steve Paxton, and David Gordon eventually led to the founding of the Judson Dance Theater in New York. Interested laypeople - often from the visual arts or the music, film, or poetry scenes - worked together with contemporary dance professionals in this hub of the New York avant-garde scene. Both personally and professionally, Yvonne Rainer already had closecontact here with visual artists, some of whom such as Carl Andre, Robert Morris, or Robert Rauschenberg were involved in her dance pieces, as dancers or in someother capacity.
This was the era of the hybrid art forms of Fluxus and Happening. Yvonne Rainer created surprising choreoraphies in which she impressively developed an entirely independent language of expression marked, amongother things, by the extension of dance to include everyday gestures and activities. Her legendary comparison of minimal sculpture and dance, which she herself also questioned at the time, showed vividly just how close the practice of avant-garde visual art and dance were in the1960's. The scaling of the work to the human body and deliberate repetition are some of the major points of comparison that she stressed in this connection, premises that are already conspicuous in one of her early works now considered a milestone of postmodern dance: Trio A (1966). Later incorporated in her evening-length dance program The Mind Is a Muscle, this short work lasting only five minutes appeals on account of the reduction of its movements and the simultaneous technical prowess and understatement of their execution. Additional features are - and this holds for other early works by Rainer 'repetition, variation, and the underlining of her actors'real bodily presence. Her eschewal of a specific narrative line with intro, climax, and finale and her avoidance of eye contact with the audience are also typical of her works. Moreover, in The Mind Is a Muscle Yvonne Rainer's interest in combining dance with other forms of expression such as film and installation also emerged - during the performance she ran the film Volleyball which she had made a year earlier and a slide show, and used a cassette recorder, foam plastic sheets, and mattresses as stage design and as props. In line with her critique of the adulatory enshrinement of choreographer and individual dancers,and the concomitant star cult, she dissolved her own company in 1970 and founded a democratically operating dance group Grand Union with likeminded friends.
In the early 1970s, Yvonne Rainer turned her back on the stage to make movies with her specific type of directorial work uniting fiction and reality, the personal and the political. Yet this did not entail turning her back on the subjects and strategies she had dealt with and implemented there. Her rejection of linear narrative and identification with actors, no less than her intellectual abstracting ofemotion are also found in her films. Quite apart from the historical documentary value of the seven movies Rainer made from 1972 to 1996, their treatment of political themes (such as racism), autobiographical aspects, and feminist issues makes them outstanding works of 20th centurymovie history.

It has been suggested that twitter has less privacy protection than Facebook and LinkedIn. This is on the basis that with Facebook and LinkedIn you have to allow someone to become a "friend" or "contact". On twitter, if someone follows you they can generally read everything you post, and they can then "re-tweet" this to all of their followers meaning that your "tweets" are not private. This aspect of twitter means that employees should be particularly careful when tweeting.
A recent case demonstrates how the use of twitter can cause problems for employees. In Game Retail Ltd v. Laws 2014, Mr. Laws, a risk and loss prevention investigator for the well known high street store Game, was summarily dismissed after a manager within the organisation raised concern about the content of his tweets.
An investigation identified 28 offensive tweets including expletives and obscene language.
For example:
"A&E with me dad useless **** popped his hip out I better not miss the Sunderland match 2 nite."
"This week I have mainly been driving to towns the **** end of nowhere .. shut roads and ***** in caravans = road rage and loads of fags smoked".
"Another trip to the dentists needed to replace cracked filling ……… 49 pounds ****ing robbin ********."
Mr Laws was dismissed and brought an unfair dismissal claim in the Employment Tribunal arguing that summary dismissal was not within the band of reasonable responses open to his employers. His unfair dismissal claim was originally upheld by the Employment Tribunal on the basis that:
1. the tweets were posted for private use and it had not been established that any member of the public or employee of Game had access to Mr Law's tweets or associated him with Game;
2. Game's disciplinary policy did not clearly state that inappropriate use of social media in private time could be treated as gross misconduct.
Game appealed this decision to the Employment Appeal Tribunal ("EAT"). The EAT allowed the employer's appeal stating that the Tribunal had not correctly applied the band of reasonable responses test and that the employee's tweets could not genuinely be considered private in the circumstances. The EAT took into account that Mr Law had not restricted his settings to private, was followed by 65 of Game's stores and that his tweets could be seen by staff and customers. The EAT also decided that it was not necessary to show that the tweets had caused offence, only that they might do. It was also not necessary for the tweets to relate to Game. The case has been remitted back to a fresh Tribunal to reconsider the matter.
Another social media work disaster that has recently been reported in the press involved an employee being fired for a ill-judged tweet.
The employee in question tweeted "think I just hit a cyclist. But Im late for work so had to drive off lol".
This was then re-tweeted hundreds of times. Inevitably the individual's employer found out about it and terminated the employee's contract as a result. The employer, a firm of stockbrokers, said that the tweet was "unacceptable" and that the employee had "failed to conduct themselves to the standards we expect of our staff". The employee subsequently tweeted that his earlier tweet had been a joke and that he had not hit a cyclist. However, the damage had clearly already been done.
Cyclist crash "joke" tweeter sacked from stockbrokers
Those of you with a good memory will recall that this is very similar to the situation from 2013 involving a trainee accountant who also lost her job after tweeting "Definitely knocked a cyclist off his bike earlier. I have right of way - he doesn't even pay road tax."
Emma Way: Cyclist tweet "my biggest mistake"
Emma later described the tweet as "11 out of 10" on the stupidity scale.
Social media use continues to expand rapidly and employers, for their part, should consider implementing (and keeping up to date) a social media usage policy, clearly outlining what employees are allowed and not allowed to do in the context of social media both within and outwith work.
The examples above serve to show that employees can never be too careful with social media and if in any doubt as to whether a post could cause future problems an employee would be wise to err on the side of caution. Employers though must avoid knee jerk reactions and should investigate the matter properly and follow a fair procedure.
