Higher rates likely won't cause deep U.S. recession, Powell says
Home News Industry News Higher rates likely won't cause deep U.S. recession, Powell says
Federal Reserve chair suggests tighter monetary policy won't reflect the 1980s

The last time the Federal Reserve faced inflation as high as it is now, in the early 1980s, it jacked up interest rates to double-digit levels — and in the process caused a deep recession and sharply higher unemployment.
On Thursday, Chair Jerome Powell suggested that this time, the Fed won't have to go nearly as far.
"We think we can avoid the very high social costs that Paul Volcker and the Fed had to bring into play to get inflation back down," Powell said in an interview at the Cato Institute, referring to the Fed chair in the early 1980s who sent short-term borrowing rates to roughly 19% to throttle punishingly high inflation.
Powell also reiterated that the Fed is determined to lower inflation, now near a four-decade high of 8.5%, by raising its short-term rate, which is in a range of 2.25% to 2.5%.
Even so, he did not comment on what the Fed may do at its next meeting in two weeks. Economists and Wall Street traders increasingly expect the central bank to raise its key short-term rate by a hefty three-quarters of a point for a third straight time. That would extend the most rapid series of rate hikes since Volcker's time.
The Fed's benchmark rate affects many consumer and business loans, which means that borrowing costs throughout the economy will likely keep rising.
On Thursday, the European Central Bank increased its key rate by three-quarters of a point, the largest in its relatively short history, as Europe also struggles with record-high inflation and a stumbling economy.
Central banks around the world are scrambling to keep up with rising prices. The Bank of Canada on Wednesday lifted rates by 0.75 percentage point and earlier this week the Reserve Bank of Australia implemented a half-point increase.
Despite Powell's assurances, many economists worry that the Fed will have to allow unemployment to rise much more than is currently expected to get inflation back to its 2% target.
The Fed has projected that unemployment will rise only to 4.1% by the end of 2024 as higher rates bring down inflation. New research released Thursday under the auspices of the Brookings Institution says that such a scenario requires "quite optimistic" assumptions and finds that unemployment may have rise much higher to bring inflation down.
Powell warned two weeks ago at an economic conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, that the Fed's inflation-fighting efforts will inevitably "bring some pain to households and businesses." But, he added, "a failure to restore price stability would mean far greater pain."
Still, on Thursday, he reiterated that the Fed's goal is to achieve a "soft landing," in which it manages to slow the economy enough to defeat high inflation yet not so much as to tip it into recession.
"What we hope to achieve," the Fed chair said, "is a period of growth below trend, which will cause the labor market to get back into better balance, and then that will bring wages back down to levels that are more consistent with 2% inflation over time."
Other central bank officials have recently echoed Powell's message.
"We're not trying to engineer a recession," Loretta Mester, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, said Wednesday in an interview with the newswire MNI. "We're trying to engineer a slowdown or moderation of activity."
At the same time, Mester acknowledged that the Fed's rate hikes will likely lead to job losses and will be "painful in the near term."
And Fed Vice Chair Lael Brainard, also in remarks Wednesday, pointed out that there are signs that supply chain snarls are easing, which could boost factory output and moderate prices.
In addition, she noted that auto makers and retailers enjoyed hefty profit margins when goods were scarce and Americans were spending robustly. As consumers start to pull back in the face of high inflation, Brainard said, retailers and car companies may have to cut prices to boost sales. That would help slow inflation.
Yet many economists say that as borrowing rates keep rising, employers will cut jobs, consumers will slash spending and a downturn will eventually result. And some have issued starker warnings about the consequences of the Fed's aggressive pace of rate hikes.
Larry Summers, a Treasury secretary under President Bill Clinton, has said he thinks the unemployment rate, now 3.5%, might have to reach 7.5% for two years to reduce inflation close to the Fed's 2% target.
The new paper released Thursday concluded that the Fed may have to lift unemployment as high as Summers has suggested to curb inflation. The research, by Laurence Ball, an economist at Johns Hopkins, and two colleagues, found that the pandemic has made the job market less efficient in matching unemployed workers with jobs _ a trend that would accelerate unemployment as the economy weakens.
In addition, Americans expect higher inflation over the next few years, the research found. Typically, when that happens, employees demand higher pay, and their employers raise prices to make up for their increased labor costs, thereby fueling inflation. As prices accelerate, the Fed feels pressure to step up its rate hikes, putting the economy at further risk.
Still, not all economists accept that darker scenario. Jan Hatzius, an economist at Goldman Sachs, argued in a note earlier this week that there are "some encouraging signs" that a soft landing is still possible.
Hatzius cited slower economic growth, a decline in the number of open jobs, a downshift in hiring and a drop in the prices of oil and other commodities as factors that could lower inflation in the coming months without necessitating a recession.

Daytona Beach has something for everyone -- the adventure of a city and the warmth, charm, and friendly atmosphere of a small town. One of Florida's primary tourist destinations, Daytona Beach is located on the central east coast of Florida and is known as the World's Most Famous Beach. The area's many lakes and rivers along with the ocean offer an endless variety of recreational activities, such as freshwater and saltwater fishing, sport fishing tournaments, sailing, surfing, snorkeling, and swimming.
If you like to camp or backpack, you'll enjoy the 362,000-acre Ocala National Forest and the 836-acre Tomoka State Park. Take a trail close to the Tomoka River and you'll be in Tarzan country, where alligators live in the marshlands, and ospreys nest in the tops of the cypress trees. Along the winding black waters of the Tomoka are stately live oak trees, with branches 70 feet long. Timber from these trees was used to build ships in the 19th century.
Winters are mild and summers are warm in Daytona Beach thanks to its location on the Atlantic Ocean and the Halifax River, an estuary which flows between the beachside and the mainland. The area's average temperature year-round is 70.5 degrees. Average monthly temperatures are 69 in January, 85 in May, 89 in July, 87 in September, and 70 in December.


Tourists visiting the Arizona Memorial Center in Pearl Harbor Thursday morning, February 18th, were witnesses to a shocking event. A tour guide, Chris G., remembers immediately knowing something was wrong when he heard a helicopter approach and go into auto rotation. Loud bangs from the chopper caught the attention of other tourists in the area and people watched in shock as a helicopter carrying four passengers approached the memorial and crashed into the waters just beyond the land.
Immediately following the crash, Chris and several other men ran to the water and swam out to help the people trapped inside. Eyewitnesses saw three people jump from the helicopter and swim to shore before it sunk completely, but a 15-year-old boy was trapped inside by the helicopter seatbelt. The swimmers took turns diving down with a knife to cut the boy out of the helicopter and he was transferred to the Pali Momi Medical Center in critical condition. Two other passengers, a 45-year-old woman and a 50-year-old man were also taken to Pali Momi, but in stable condition. The pilot and another man were taken to Kaiser.
The owner of Genesis Aviation and the Bell-206B chopper that was involved in the crash offered sincere condolences to the families affected by the tragedy. He also commented on his pilot's years of flight experience (even experience flying for the Army) and believes that his pilot was attempting to set the chopper down on land before the helicopter completely cut out.
Videos of the chopper crash went viral soon after the accident. They show the helicopter approaching at a low awkward angle before plunging into the water just beyond the Contemplation Circle at the visitor's center. Until further notice, theater and boat trips to the Arizona Memorial are suspended.

Red-breasted Merganser
Mergus serrator
The adult red-breasted merganser is 51–62 cm (20–24 in) long with a 70–86 cm (28–34 in) wingspan. It has a spiky crest and long thin red bill with serrated edges. The male has a dark head with a green sheen, a white neck with a rusty breast, a black back, and white underparts. Adult females have a rusty head and a greyish body. The juvenile is like the female, but lacks the white collar and has a smaller white wing patch.
The call of the female is a rasping prrak prrak, while the male gives a feeble hiccup-and-sneeze display call.
Taxon biology 5
The red-breasted merganser is a decorative bird, with its spiky head crest and contrasting red bill. It dives down to 4 meters to catch fish, using its eyes to find them. The bill with its serrated teeth is ideal for holding onto its slippery prey. It's not hard to understand that clear clean water is very important for the red-breasted merganser. It breeds primarily in lakes in Iceland, Scandinavia and Russia.The nest is well hidden in thick reed vegetation. Since the 1980s, red-breasted mergansers have also been breeding in the Netherlands.
Speed record 4
The fastest duck ever recorded was a red-breasted merganser that attained a top airspeed of 100 mph while being pursued by an airplane. This eclipsed the previous speed record held by a canvasback clocked at 72 mph.

Meet The New Pilot's Watches From IWC Schaffhausen
Luxury Swiss watchmaker IWC has you spoilt for choice this year with an exceptional selection of new additions to its Pilot's Watch range. From military-inspired editions to a special crossover with the world of motorsport, you'll be wishing for one of these must-have models under your tree come Christmas morning. Don't rely on Santa to come through with the goods though, read on now to shop the selection for yourself.
The Race Edition
IWC is no stranger to the high-octane world of professional motorsport. The Swiss luxury watch maker and Mercedes-AMG have been partners since 2004. With IWC officially becoming the racing team's engineering partner in 2013. The long-lasting collaboration is grounded in many shared values, including the pursuit of technical perfection and uncompromising quality.
Which is why we are excited to present IWC's new race-inspired pilot's watch, the Pilot's Watch Chronograph Edition "AMG". As the name suggests, it's the latest timepiece to the celebrate the long-standing partnership between IWC and Mercedes-AMG. And the first to present IWC's iconic 43mm Pilot's Watch Chronograph in a Grade 5 titanium case (including the crown and pushers). This lightweight and resistant alloy – often used in high-performance cars – ensures plenty of wrist presence, without the associated weight. The dial is made from another hi-tech material common to motorsport: carbon fibre. Its black woven texture contrasts nicely with the silver-plated chronograph counters and the small seconds at 6 o'clock creating a sporty aesthetic that is also highly legible. Inside the case is the IWC-manufactured calibre 69385, a robust and precise chronograph movement. It's partly visible through the tinted sapphire crystal case back which is emblazoned with the Mercedes-AMG logo. This all-around sporty timepiece is fitted with a black leather strap with a stainless-steel folding clasp.
The Military Editions
Now we shift our attention from IWC's involvement in motorsport to its special military program. For many years, the Swiss luxury watchmaker has worked with various U.S. naval aviation units to engineer watches that are exclusively available to members of these squadrons. Every so often, IWC is kind enough to grace us with 'civilian' editions of these hi-tech, hi-performance timepieces. Not surprisingly, they are highly sought after by aviation and horology enthusiasts alike.
The first two models on our list are the Pilot's Watch Chronograph Edition "Royal Maces" and the Pilot's Watch Chronograph Edition "Tophatters". The former is inspired by the military-exclusive timepiece developed in collaboration with Strike Fighter Squadron 27, which is stationed at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni in Japan. While the latter is dedicated to the Strike Fighter Squadron 14 based at Naval Air Station Lemoore in California. Established in 1919, it is the oldest active Navy squadron. Both are presented in oversized, 44.5mm cases crafted from black zirconium oxide, while the pushers and the crowns are made of Ceratanium®, an IWC-developed material combining the lightness and robustness of titanium with the hardness and scratch-resistance of ceramic.
Each model features a black dial with white, luminous markings to ensure high legibility in all conditions. The "Royal Maces" edition feature's the squadron's patch proudly displayed at 6 o'clock, with the squadron's signature yellow colour featuring throughout. Including the yellow day-date indication, the yellow stitching on the black calfskin strap, the tip of the chronograph seconds hand and the small seconds hand. The reverse of the case is fitted with a Grade 5 titanium case back and features an engraving of the squadron's F/A-18E Super Hornet jet next to the official denomination "VFA-27". The "Tophatter's" edition meanwhile features the squadron's classic top hat patch at 6 o'clock, and also as an engraving on the Grade 5 titanium case back. The day-date display, the tip of the chronograph seconds hand, the small seconds and the stitching on the black calfskin strap are all finished in the squadron's characteristic red.
The final military edition model on our list is the new IWC Pilot's Watch Chronograph Edition "Blue Angels®". This is the third timepiece to emerge from IWC's license agreement with the U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron. Based on the incredible popularity of the previous two editions, it's safe to assume this will be a must have model too. The design is inspired by the military-exclusive watch developed with Blue Angels members in Pensacola and features a 44.5m blue ceramic case. As with its stablemates above, the pushers and the crown are made of Ceratanium®. In keeping with the "Blue Angels®" colour scheme, the dial is blue with yellow highlights and features the "Blue Angels®" patch at 6 o'clock. The Grade 5 titanium case back features an engraving of the characteristic "Blue Angels®" lettering.
All three models are powered by the IWC-manufactured 69380 caliber chronograph movement. Whilst not limited editions per se, annual production of each of these military-inspired chronographs will be capped at 500 pieces worldwide. Meaning allocations will be limited for these in-demand timepieces.
The Top Gun Editions
TOP GUN watches have been a core part of the IWC Pilots watch collection since 2007. The name comes from the Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor Program in the U.S. Navy, a top-tier training programme that provides the best Navy pilots with flying and tactical training. To meet the specific and highly demanding requirements of these elite jet pilots, TOP GUN watches must be specially designed with robust materials, such as ceramic, titanium and Ceratanium®.
This year, for the first time, there is a TOP GUN model equipped with IWC's patented timezoner function, allowing the wearer to quickly and easily change between time zones. Pressing down and rotating the bezel causes the hour hand, the integrated 24-hour display and the date to move forwards or backwards in one-hour increments. Inset into the bezel is a city ring, made from matte black ceramic and inscribed with the names of 24 cities in contrasting white, each one representing a different international time zone. A 24-hour disc visible through a curved aperture below 12 o'clock provides a quick reference as to whether it is day or night in your chosen timezone. In keeping with the stealth look, the 46mm case is crafted from matte black Ceratanium®, while the black dial features printed grey numerals. The jet-black tactical design of the Pilot's Watch Timezoner TOP GUN Ceratanium edition is complemented with a tinted sapphire glass case back and a black rubber strap with textile inlay. Providing the power is the IWC-manufactured 82760 calibre, complete with Pellaton winding system with components made of virtually wear-free ceramic.
Rounding out our selection are two special "Mojave Desert" editions of IWC's Big Pilot's watch. This marks the first time the distinctive case of the Big Pilot is offered in IWC's sand-coloured ceramic case, the hallmark of all its "Mojave Desert" editions. The unique colourway is inspired by the flight suits of Navy pilots and the barren landscape of China Lake, the US Navy's largest land area in the Mojave Desert. Achieving the perfect finish requires a sophisticated manufacturing process involving powdered raw materials that are shaped and then sintered at high temperatures. The result is a light-weight case that is virtually scratch-proof and looks unlike anything else on the market.
The Big Pilot's Watch Top Gun Edition "Mojave Desert" offers the classic, time and date display, complete with 7-day power reserve indicator on a sub-dial at 3 o'clock. Behind the dial is the self-winding, IWC-manufactured 52110 calibre. The Big Pilot's Watch Perpetual Calendar Top Gun Edition "Mojave Desert"meanwhile presents one of IWC's most complicated models in a whole new light. The subdued dark brown dial houses four sub dials and a four-digit year display, which combine to show all calendar indications simultaneously, as well as the phases of moon and the 7-day power reserve indicator. The perpetual calendar is mechanically programmed to automatically recognise the different months lengths and the leap years. The calendar module is driven by a single nightly switching impulse delivered by the IWC-manufactured 52615 calibre.
Watches of Switzerland is proud to be an authorised representative of IWC watches in Australia. Please note though that allocations are limited, so we encourage you act quickly to avoid disappointment.

Ohio State linebacker Storm Klein, who had been dismissed from the team following a domestic violence arrest in July, has been reinstated to the team, according to Tim May of the Columbus Dispatch:
"As I had indicated previously, if there are any changes in the charges against Storm, I would re-evaluate his status," Meyer said in a statement released by the school. "The charges that would have violated our core values have been totally dismissed."
Klein originally had been accused of domestic violence – a breach of one of those core values – and assault for an incident at his apartment that occurred July 6 involving the mother of his child. Meyer immediately dismissed him from the team. But the alleged victim recanted her story in the past couple of weeks, and Klein on Wednesday pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct and was put on 18 months probation.
"I have spoken extensively to members of both families and that has prompted me to re-assess his situation and allow him back," Meyer said.
Klein's lawyer told the Dispatch that Klein "did not do what he was originally accused of doing." May noted that Klein will still face at least a two game suspension.
Luke Zimmerman of Land-Grant Holy Land had this reaction to the reinstatement:
Urban Meyer had been pretty clear from the very beginning that as long as the domestic violence charges didn't stick, Klein would have a strong chance for having his scholarship reinstated. Per his word, after 24 hours in which it wasn't entirely clear if Ohio State would want Klein back (who'd lost his job due to injury and mild ineffectiveness in the 2011 season), Klein is now back on an Ohio State team that was relatively shallow experience wise at the linebacker position.

Does Frankly Realty Scare You? A Testimonial.
Scared of hiring a smaller Virginia, DC or Maryland real estate firm?
scared to pick a firm that only uses experienced full-time agents (go ahead, crank call any firm and say you want to start in a week as a part-timer and see how excited they get!"), this testimonial is a must read.
Background: This seller had experience selling several properties using "long standing, reputable firms." But her latest home was listed unsuccessfully by 2 big brand agents for over 300 days.
Then Frankly Realty agent Cathy Poungmalai got the listing. Cathy suggested and helped with light rehab, staged it, used amazing photos (with a main photo collage) and several other techniques leading to "never a shortage of buyers," 4 offers and this unsolicited testimonial.
Thank you Ms. Araujo for trusting in us and Cathy, and for sending this unsolicited testimonial (anybody can ask somebody to say something great about them right?).
helping your clients get the most value out of their home, while balancing speed and a smooth transaction.
So fence sitters, I hope this helps. Don't think that bigger is always better.
So I'm going to preemptively argue what you might be thinking regarding this listing and testimonial (heck, even if you weren't thinking it). First of all, the two other attempts to sell this home were for a MUCH higher price. One might easily try to blame it on price for not selling and not give credit to Cathy, who ultimately sold it. Sure price is very important, but those listings were not staged (at least what I call staging), and had horrible photos (albeit 30).
Secondly, one might say that Cathy still had it for 60+ days on the market AND it didn't get 100% of list price. Well, you can look up Cathy's track record with listings here (did you know with FranklyMLS.com you can look up ANY agent's listing record, also known as a FranklyCRA?) and see that 90% of her listings sold faster, with the median being 13 days! The real amazing part was how she got 4 offers that all started in the low $600's to come up to $657,000. That takes effort and skill and that is what really leads to satisfied customers.
Remember, at FranklyRealty.com, Excellence Comes Standard (tm) and this is typical of all Frankly agents.
P.P.S. Cody, sorry for the delay since my last post, I had to step away to feed Hartly.
Cool Blog Frank. Thanks for making it clear what are the advantages of working with smaller firms. Congratulations to Cathy for doing a fabulous job!!
Mike…Cathy doesn't do a typical open house; she really does it up. I drove by one of her open houses last weekend and she had so many signs and balloons up that you felt like you were missing something if you didn't stop. She gets a house a ton of exposure through a lot of effort. And more exposure equals a higher price.
You addressed it, but I fail to see how price wasn't the precise factor that got the sale done. The real issue here is an owner that paid $214,500 in 1998 and then chased the market down while having the bubble price of $719,000 anchoring her in the past.
That is why I preemptively gave you the contrarian view. Who else would do that?
Ultimately there is no 100% "this is exactly why something happened." Just like staging. People want guarantees. They don't exist. And that stats that the staging industry give, they are BS in my opinion. But what we do does work, time and time again, and it nets people more.


Our final segment of this world voyage started in Rhodes Greece and then went for an overnight stay in Piraeus where we went to the Corinth Canal. We then traveled to 3 other ports in Greece, Nafplion, Heraklion on Crete and Mykonos. After leaving Greece we sailed to Valletta in Malta and then on to Spain with stops in Mallorca, Barcelona for an overnight and Cadez where we went to Seville. Our last two stops were in Morocco with a trip to Marrakech and finally the island of Madiera on our way across the Atlantic.
The pictures below represent the stops on our trip. Click on any of them to see the other pictures of that stop.


The Celtic underworld seems to generally be "beyond the waves" or to the west. It is usually associated with water or wells, also. (Ellis, 134) The Vedic earth is the "underworld," as it is at the bottom. It is not a flat disk that floats on the waters. (MacDonnell, 9) It is, though, called "boundless" and "extended" and "broad". It is divided into four quarters, and at the center stands a speaker, the fifth division. It is not the abode of the ancestors at all (that is the Upperworld or heavens). ADF primarily works through the implication that the well leads "down" to the underworld, and the gate primarily chosen is the Well. This fits nicely with Celtic myth, but much less so than with Vedic myth.

We used the free app 'Light Trail Camera Pro' on ipads for the exploration and practical work in the session. Here's a video from the session: Here are some tips and instructions that we found useful – thanks to all the people present for working together and experimenting to find this out.
Preview – If you have the preview screen showing you can see the light trials build up. If you are writing or trying to capture something planned this is essential. Tap the word 'preview' to get it or remove it.
Capture mode – set to light trails Shutter speed – the larger the number the longer the shutter stays open (eg 15 seconds). If the shutter speed is set to B the shutter is controlled manually so you can decide when it shuts. This useful if you are photographing a preplanned light trail (eg writing your name).
The record button is the circle in the centre and it goes red when photographing. When the photograph has been taken if you touch the arrow to the right you are given the option of saving the photo to camera roll. Freeze – half way between off and on. Contrast – button half way along.
We were using a variety of torches, LED lights, strings of fairy lights and flashing lights. The photo on the bottom right is a view of the room as everyone experimented. We also tried drawing and writing with light: For this you need a source of light that will produce a distinct line. The Ipad needs to be about 1 m away (or perhaps on the floor is an adult is writing). If the lines are not to be joined you have to cover or switch off the torch when you don't want a line – eg from the end of the J to the start of the e here.
Link the light to sound by creating the light picture in response to a sound, or creating sound as a response to the light picture.
Import the photos into another app and manipulate, draw or write on it.
Print out onto acetate and put onto windows – digital stained glass?
Try out in the dark outside – children with lights running round the playground. (for this rest the ipad or camera onto a wall or fence if you don't have a tripod).
If you have compact camera you can try this – settings would be 100 ISO, F8, 6 seconds, try using the zoom whilst the shutter is open.


Here at GateHouse Media, we've focused a lot of energy this year on serving our mobile audience. We've talked about blowing up traditional storytelling for some types of stories in favor of alternative story forms that work well on mobile.
Evaluated six sites that would be considered large by GateHouse standards. GateHouse owns quite a few small to mid-sized community newspapers and their websites.
Didn't include GateHouse websites because I wanted to take the pulse of the industry in general, but we're still feeling our way through this ourselves.
Didn't include apps, just mobile websites.
Evaluated the first three stories on each of the websites, for a total of 18 stories.
Results: All but one were told traditionally.
The one alternative format was in the Austin American-Statesman. The story reported opening statements in court, and the bold lead-ins were update times. This wasn't fancy, but it was a very simple timeline of sorts that guided readers through the facts as the court coverage continued.
The Statesman also had a cool video on hot temperatures, a by-the-numbers in video format. At the time I looked, it wasn't one of the first three stories on the site, but it was worth a mention.
Meanwhile, my research also included non-legacy newspaper websites: Vox.com, fivethirtyeight.com and billypenn.com. I used the same methodology: top three stories on the three sites.
Results: Four out of nine stories used alternative story forms.
FiveThirtyEight did best, with two out of three stories told differently. Since so much of its coverage is data and analysis, this makes sense. One story was a chat format the site uses at least weekly. A few staffers sound off on a topic, in this case: How many of Trump's supporters really are deplorable?
I won't belabor the point that the legacy print websites had about 5 percent of stories told in alternative way, compared with 44 percent of the websites not connected with a newspaper. My findings are hardly scientific, but I read a lot of news, and I'm not surprised at the outcome.
What qualifies as an alternative story?
Anything that breaks up straight text. For example, a story might be reading like a straight narrative, but then there's a big subhed, and another big subhed. This is clearly a strategy the writer employs at the outset.
What are the new polls? Bulleted info on the polls, organized by state.
An alternative story is especially suited for the mobile reader because of the guidance those bullets and headers offer to someone reading on a small screen. In "How to reinvent alternative story forms for mobile readers," you'll find more examples.
If you're a reporter who has gathered your information on this story about the new polls, you can choose to write it the way reporters have been writing forever: paragraph after paragraph of text, broken up by a few quotes that look just like every other paragraph. Or you can give the structure of the story some thought to determine the best way to present that story to the reader.
Should every story use an alternative format?
No. Some of the stories I saw were short crime stories. Those are fine in a traditional format. Some stories have gorgeous writing, transitions that move readers effortlessly through the prose, and quotes that sing. Let's leave those stories alone because who doesn't want to immerse themselves into a story that is a work of art?
But for all of the information we crank out, let's give the format of the story some thought. Could this be a Q&A explainer on a complicated topic? Could we do a fun list?
Alternative stories are often quicker to write and easier to absorb. Why don't we write them more often? Because we're creatures of habit, so we crank out another 20-inch story, spewing our information at overwhelmed readers.
Next time, let's try something different.

Opposition Leader Says Zimbabwe's Economic Meltdown May Bring Regime Change
Morgan Tsvangirai, the leader of Zimbabwe's opposition Movement for Democratic Change, said that the collapsing economy in Zimbabwe would force Mr. Mugabe to allow free and fair elections. From London, Tendai Maphosa has this report.
In remarks while in London, Zimbabwe's main opposition party leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, described the situation in Zimbabwe as "life threatening."
"People have no jobs and people have no health and education delivery is almost collapsing," he said. "We are determined to continue with the resistance against the regime until our goal of democratic change is achieved."
Zimbabwe's inflation, which is now above 4,000 percent, is the highest in the world.
Tsvangirai spoke after making his first public appearance outside Zimbabwe with rival Movement for Democratic Change faction leader Arthur Mutambara, at a news conference here Friday.
The opposition leaders are on a Western European tour to build international support and show that the opposition is united after months of infighting.
Tsvangirai's comments followed similar remarks from the outgoing United States ambassador to Zimbabwe, Christopher Dell, who says the country's disastrous economic situation could lead to the fall of the government.
Dell is quoted in London's Guardian newspaper this week as saying Zimbabwe's inflation will reach more than a million percent by the end of the year.
The resultant disruption and instability, he added, could drive President Robert Mugabe from power. He told the Guardian that the government was "committing regime change on itself."
The diplomat was speaking against the backdrop of the latest collapse of the Zimbabwe dollar against the major currencies.
In the previous week, the dollar has crashed by close to a hundred percent on the parallel market. He said prices were going up twice every day. Mr. Mugabe blames the economic meltdown on sanctions imposed by the West as punishment for his sometimes-violent land reform program. However, Dell, in past statements, has blamed the situation on what he called the voodoo economics of the government.
University of Zimbabwe economist Tony Hawkins says things could still get much worse in the country before they get better.
"I don't understand what people mean when they talk about economies collapsing, if you look at African economies as diverse as Rwanda, Ghana, Uganda, Mozambique, Angola, DRC, these economies have been through usually associated with war but not always very tough times and economies never collapse as such," he said. "It's very difficult to tell when economic decline will translate into political change or regime change Mr. Dell may well be right but I don't think anyone can predict that in advance."
Negotiators for Zimbabwe's ruling party and the main opposition in Harare have agreed on an agenda to enable crucial talks to continue in neighboring South Africa. The talks are aimed at helping Zimbabwe emerge from its political and economic crisis.
US Ambassador to Zimbabwe Says Mugabe's Fall is Near
The U.S. ambassador to Zimbabwe is predicting the country's runaway inflation will soon drive President Robert Mugabe from power. In an interview with the British newspaper, The Guardian, Ambassador Christopher Dell says the Mugabe government is carrying out "disastrous" economic policies. Dell says people have completely lost faith in the Zimbabwean economy and the Mugabe government. The Guardian says Dell made the comments…
Zimbabwe Seeks To Transfer Control of Public Companies to Blacks
Zimbabwe's government has introduced a bill designed to ensure that black Zimbabweans have majority control of all the country's businesses. The bill calls for indigenous black Zimbabweans to own at least 51 percent of every public-owned company and any other business. The proposed law creates a so-called empowerment fund to finance the acquisition of shares. It would also deny companies the ability to invest, expand, or merge if majority control does not rest…

Supporting Statement From Bishop Zacarias C. Jimenez, Dd
Chair Coordinating Team ECIP, Mindanao
ECIP-MINDANAO
"Reading the Mining in the Philippines - Concerns and Conflicts, Fact Finding Mission to the Philippines Report, I deplore and lament with the prophets of old what is happening to our beloved land. Our own experiences here in Mindanao validate the report.
" 'Remember, O Lord, what has come upon us; look, and behold our reproach! Our inheritance has been turned over to aliens, and our houses to foreigners. We have become orphans and waifs, our mothers are like widows. We pay for the water we drink, and our wood comes at a price. They pursue at our heels; we labour and have no rest. We have given our hand to the Egyptians and the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread. Our fathers sinned and are no more, but we bear their iniquities.' (Lamentations 5:1-5)
" I chair the Episcopal Commission on Indigenous People – Mindanao and have been to many workshops with our indigenous people's representatives all over Mindanao in the past three years. I heard their stories of anguish, saw them cry as they narrate their deplorable state, and I feel their anger against the game that our power-hungry national and local government officials are playing with them in alliance with greedy corporations. The situation is at its worst at the present moment.
" The very government that is supposed to protect their rights is the very one abusing them, manipulating them, turning many of their leaders into "Tribal Dealers". The very people, save a few, we elected to supposedly ensure their basic need of food, shelter and clothing, created laws that instead further the interests of foreigners, investors, multi-national corporations and have turned these laws into a "machinery of death" for our indigenous peoples and their precious culture.
"What is worst is their deception. They are the modern Trojans bringing gifts of empty promises of progress and development. TIMEO DANAOS DONA FERENTES! I fear the Greeks bringing gifts … to our people.
"I also condemn all forms of harassment by government agencies against the people, foreigner and local, who are working in whatever way to help the situation of our indigenous peoples.
"I strongly endorse the Statement on Mining Issues and Concerns of our Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), President:
" To support, unify and strengthen the struggle of the local Churches and their constituency against all mining projects, and raise the anti-mining campaign at the national level;
"To support the call of various sectors, especially the Indigenous Peoples, to stop the 24 Priority Mining Projects of the government, and the closure of large-scale mining projects, for example, the Rapu-Rapu Polymetallic Project in Albay, HPP Project in Palawan, Didippio Gold-Copper Project in Nueva Vizcaya, Tampakan Copper-gold Project in South Cotabato, Canatuan Gold Project in Zamboanga del Norte, and the San Antonio Copper Project in Marinduque, among others;
"To support the conduct of studies on the evil effects of mining in dioceses;
"To support all economic activities that are life-enhancing and poverty-alleviating.
"God help our indigenous brothers and sisters …. Our precious land … all of us!
[Bishop Jimenez is the Auxiliary Bishop of Butuan and a former bishop of Pagadian, Zamboanga del Sur. He was born November 5, 1948 in Inabanga, Island of Bohol . He was ordained Bishop in St. Peter's Basilica, Rome, Italy on January 6, 1995.]

As I was talking about Style in my previous posts hope now we all agree that Style is not something which is the newest trend in the market rather Style is something which is very personal. Style defines you and it may not be the latest fashion but it is something which looks great on you!
You can look stylish by wearing most simple outfit and accessories only make sure that they suit you and you feel comfortable in them.
A good haircut or style or a new hair-colour can instantly up your Style Quotient and give you a much needed change. But make sure it is something that goes with your face shape (hair cut and style) and the colour goes with your skin tone.
Wear well fitted clothes that enhance your positive features.
Dress up according to age, occasion, body shape, personality and lifestyle.
No need to buy expensive designer labels, if you think something looks great on you, find a similar style in the local brands or street wear and in most cases, you will find it easier to do.
Get yourself a regular manicure and pedicure. This will make your hands and feet look well cared for!
It is not necessary to go out every time with full made-up face, rather going with a natural make up can give you a fresh look!
Highlight only one feature on your face- eyes or lips.
And last but not the least and the most important- SMILE. Nothing can look good on a grumpy face!


Island grilled chicken with jalapeno-pineapple salsa is a quick and easy grilled chicken recipe, packed with tropical flavors.
This grilled chicken dish is simple but flavorful, and quick to prepare. The Jalapeno Salsa would also be wonderful on grilled or blackened fish. The pineapple salsa recipe for the top of the healthy grilled chicken is adapted from one I found on Eating Well.
I hope you enjoy this Island grilled chicken dinner recipe!
Chicken breasts marinated in tangy tropical flavors, grilled and served with a spicy-sweet pineapple salsa. A healthy chicken dinner that's gluten free and delicious!
For the Marinade:Mix marinade ingredients (everything but the chicken) in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring with a whisk. Once mixture has boiled, turn off heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Pour mixture over chicken breasts in a covered bowl and marinate at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) in the refrigerator.
For the Salsa:Place all ingredients in a medium size bowl and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for an hour or so to blend the flavors. Bring to room temperature to serve over the chicken.
Prepare Grilled Chicken:Grill chicken over medium-high heat about 4-5 minutes each side, or until juices run clear and internal temperature reaches 163 degrees. Allow chicken to rest for at least 5 minutes before garnishing with salsa. Serve over brown rice or coconut rice.
Amee, I'm falling in love with your pineapple salsa, can't wait to make some. The chicken sounds good too but the salsa, sorry, I'm drooling right now and it's making it hard to type. Thanks for sharing!
I honestly think I could eat pineapple every day and never grow tired of it. This looks light, refreshing, and absolutely YUMMILICIOUS, Amee!

Jack Conger leads clinics with two of his VIP's
By	Fitter and Faster Staff
The past two weekends Fitter and Faster had a couple of clinics in which Olympic gold medalist Jack Conger was one of the clinicians… and we want to tell you about them because they had two super special people in his life joining him to help create for a memorable/valuable learning experience for the participants, coaches and parents.
The clinics in Lewisville, TX featured his age group coach Sue Chen. The clinics in Eaglesville, PA featured his mom – Bridget Conger! How cool is that?!?!
Here's what we did:
In Lewisville, TX, on the weekend of September 29 and 30, Conger was one of the clinicians at a four session clinic focusing on butterfly, breaststroke, open turns and underwater dolphin kicking. Most of the participants participated in two sessions specific to their age group and ability. All of the sessions were either sold out at 48 participants – or close to it. We paired Jack up with elite clinicians Nick Thoman, Andrew Appleby and we had the great pleasure to pair Jack up with his age group swim coach, Sue Chen!
Coach Sue Chen speaks with 14-year-old Jack Conger at a swim meet in 2007 or 2008 – about 9 years before he made the Olympic team in 2016.
Sue was Jack's coach was from the time he was 12-years-old until he left for college. We loved the opportunity to bring Jack and Sue together as professionals to work together with age group swimmers at a wide range of levels. Jack was in the water helping participants with their body position and other technique along with Nick and Andrew while Sue was on deck. The dynamic between the entire group was electric. Participants were getting faster.
Sue and Jack moments after he qualified for the 2016 Olympic Team!
David Arluck, Fitter and Faster's director even received a call a few days after the clinic from Lakeside Aquatics' head age group coach Craig Harris saying that one of his 12-year-old female swimmers participated in a meet the day after the clinic. Her entry time was a 1:06 in the 100 fly… she dropped a 1:01 at the meet. We're sure that a lot more than just the clinic contributed to that time drop, but we're sure it helped a bit.
Throughout the weekend, attendees (including coaches, parents and swimmers) were able to ask Jack and Sue questions about Jack's development as an age group swimmer and his progression into an elite level athlete who became one of the top recruits in the country. Jack ultimately went to the University of Texas where he went on to win several NCAA titles and make the 2016 Olympic team that competed in Rio. Other elite level, Olympic coaches who have led many sessions of Fitter and Faster clinics over the past few months include Bruce Gemmell, Todd Schmitz, and Brett Hawke.
I thought there was a good ratio of swimmers to coaches. My daughter was able to get some individual help. I thought it was great that the coaches also got in the water and showed the kids what was being discussed. I like to open QA at the end. I think there we just as many parents that had questions then kids." – Greg, parent of swimming participant in Lewisville, TX
It was just the weekend prior, that Jack led his FIRST Fitter and Faster clinics ever along with another VIP in his life – his mom, Bridget Conger! They were joined by elite clinicians and University of Virginia coach – Austin Surhoff.
Jack Conger (center) led his first Fitter and Faster swim clinics the weekend of September 21, 2018 in Eagleville, PA. He was joined by his mom, Bridget – who led a special session for parents and elite clinician Austin Surhoff.
We always enjoy sending swimmers with their parents for a few reasons:
1. Often times the clinicians and their parents don't live near each other because of the clinician's training or professional situation. So, sending them to clinics together is a super nice thing we are able to do sometimes.
2. The parents we send lead really informative sessions for the parents of participants. They talk about balancing school and swimming, relationships with coaches, responsibilities, nutrition and and other issues related to raising a well rounded elite level athlete.
Other parents of Olympians we have sent to clinics in the past include Chloe's Sutton's mom – Wendy; Cammile Adams' dad – Eddie; Clark and Caroline Burckle's mom – Jill; Peter Vanderkaay's mom – Robin; and others. We also enjoy sending Olympians who are now parents themselves!
"This was our second clinic in which Austin Surhoff was a clinician and I would like to say he's incredible with the kids. He is well spoken, clear and loud enough for everyone to hear and put things in terms the younger kids could understand. I was very impressed by him and the time he took with the kids Jack Conger was also good with the kids and taking time to help with techniques." – Michelle, Parent of swimmer in Eagleville, PA
So, that's the wrap-up on two super special weekends with Jack Conger. We loved them along with the dozens of other clinics we held the last two weeks in Nebraska, Iowa, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Washington, Virginia, Georgia and more!
We want to do more clinics this winter! Please drop us an email and let us know where you are!
Most swimmers benefit from having midseason clinics. We know it's hard to find the time during November, December and January, but it's so worth looking at the calendar. Coaches and board members are encouraged to set up an appointment with us to strategize on curriculums that will help all the swimmers on your team. We are still booking November and December clinics plus all of 2019. The weekend right after Thanksgiving (November 24 and 25) is always a great time to have clinics. So, please reach on out.

The Talking Horse
There's a Chumbawamba song I really like, called "Everything you know is wrong". It starts with an audio clip that goes like this: It's like the time that this, uh, minister in Indiana claimed that the theme song for Mr. Ed, that old television show about the talking horse - if you played the Mr. Ed theme song backwards it said "Satan is the source". I just wanted to say these photos by Julian Wolkenstein remind me of that audio clip...

In earlier blog posts I have talked about how a I work best when I have a routine and a schedule for everything. While this is true I can to the realization this morning that I also need to have a degree of flexibility within my schedule. Now, don't get me wrong, I am not endorsing procrastination, I am saying that sometimes the schedule needs to be switched to make best use of time. Let me give you my example from this morning.
The secret of your success is determined by your attitude and your agenda today. I have talked in previous posts about the dangers of procrastination and how it is the killer of dreams. Your attitude is another example of something that can make or break you. Even with a great attitude you are not guaranteed success with that alone. Your agenda is what will define your success, and it starts today!
Do you have a clearly defined agenda of what you want to achieve?
Are you being realistic in your plans?
Are you allocating the correct amount of time to each task?
Are you dedicated to sticking to this plan?
These are questions that you may be asking yourself already and potentially have the answers. My follow up question if this is the case would be: Are you taking time at the end of each day to reflect on what happened and your progress?
I think I am correct in saying that we all want more "Good times" and less "Bad times" right?
I thought so! Here is the thing; you will not appreciate the good times if you do not have the bad times. You may disagree with this statement but let me explain further.
Initially you will recognize the good times because, subconsciously, you are comparing them with what has happened in your life to that point. However, if things continue to go well you will find that after a time you become complacent about the good times and they become the norm, therefore you do not recognize them as "Good times", make sense?
Whether we like it or not, we will all have days, or moments in time, when things do not go as we planned them. How we deal with these times and this adversity is what defines our character. Do we roll over and cry "woe is me", or do we stand up and overcome the adversity with intentional actions?
This quote from Esther Perel arrived in my email this morning: "Self-esteem is the ability to see yourself as a flawed individual and still hold yourself in high regard"
This was interesting to me because most people who see themselves as flawed do not hold themselves in high regard, hence the trend towards depression and anxiety. Accepting that you are not perfect is an essential component of growing. I don't want to burst your bubble but "Perfection does not exist" so stop beating yourself up for not achieving it!
I do believe, however, that you should be pursuing constant improvement and to do this you need to continue to grow and learn every day. This could be through books, podcasts, articles etc. but it can also be through your own experiences. In fact, I would go so far as to say it SHOULD be through your own experiences more than anything else because they are real to you and tangible.
Many of you will be thinking about the thing that you own which has the most monetary value or is the dearest thing to your heart, as I did when I first heard this question.
In fact, your most valuable possession is the next 24 hours that you have in front of you. I will take this a stage further and add, it is what you do with it that makes it even more valuable.
I use a saying a lot in my teaching: You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it drink! I believe that we all have an enormous amount of untapped potential that resides in our subconscious mind, waiting to be released. I can help by providing the tools but I cannot make you pick them up and start using them (metaphorically speaking of course).
I am sure, as I have, that you have noticed certain people who like to talk about doing things but never actually do them, right? They exist everywhere, and that led me to think about the saying: Actions speak louder than words.
I was reminded of this as I completed my daily study of Napoleon Hill's, Think and Grow Rich, this morning. Hill writes: "Tell the world what you intend to do but first show it." He is right,l and let me ask you this; what are you doing to show the world your intentions?
John Maxwell uses a phrase that can be used to describe the same thing: You cannot give what you do not have. When John said this he maybe didn't mean it in this context but, for me, it fits perfectly. You have to be able to demonstrate you have knowledge and understanding of a subject before the world will listen to you about it.
Actions speak louder than words so go out and show the world what you intend to do, get good at it, and others will follow you.
Life throws distractions at us from time to time. You understand what I am saying, I am sure that you have experienced these too, right?
I had an example of this yesterday when my normal routine was disrupted by a number of things. We were expecting visitors from out of town and the expected arrival time was mid afternoon. I had my day all planned out with my normal morning routine of studying, drinking my coffee, walking the dogs then getting my own breakfast.
At around 6am I received a call telling me out guests were about an hour away - routine out of the window. I jumped out of bed, had a quick cup of coffee then took the dogs for their walk. As I returned to the house our guests were pulling up. Stay calm, this is all OK, I was telling myself.
I went into the house and turned a light on but nothing. What was wrong? I tried a few other lights and nothing. I looked at the DVR player and no clock. I realized that the power was out - another distraction!
I love talking about leadership and how you determine a great leader versus an average one. Some people think that a great leader is one who comes up with all of the ideas and tells people how to do things. Personally, I believe that a great leader encourages others to come up with the ideas and creates an environment where this is possible, even encouraged.
When you nurture an environment where ideas thrive it encourages people to look for solutions instead of bringing problems forward all of the time. When people have ideas and see these being accepted it gives them a sense of pride and ownership. This, in turn, will produce far better results than merely telling people what to do and expecting them to run with it.
Think about your environment, both at home and at work, and ask yourself whether it is one that encourages new ideas?
Have you ever noticed that when you are confident that you can achieve something, you usually do?
I have observed this in myself and in other people too. So why do you think this is? The power of our minds is incredible and, as I have said on many occasions, we use less than 10% of it's potential. There is another saying that "When you put your mind to it you can achieve anything" so it is no secret the power that our minds hold.
My follow up question is: If we know our minds have this potential, why do we not use it?
I used to think it was because of a fear of failure but we already established that if we are confident of success it will come so there must be something deeper. Fear of criticism from others is definitely a factor and the other could be a lack of confidence which in turn will bring on a fear of failure.
When I was a child growing up in England there was a common saying: Life begins at 40!
I remember when I was approaching 40 this gave me a sense of excitement, almost as if something was going to happen by magic - and nothing happened!
So what does this popular saying mean? I have been thinking about this a lot recently and it has prompted me to design a new program: "Your Third Quarter". My conclusion is that we are at the half-way stage of our lives so, much like any sports game, we should review what has happened in the first half and plan how we are going to approach the rest of our life to maximize it.
American football and basketball games are broken into quarters so when we reach 40-something we are essentially starting our third quarter. When you look at the most successful teams they generally have an outstanding third quarter as this sets up the final quarter. Life is the same, Your Third Quarter is the set up to retirement so make the most of it and don't live in regret.

From 1990 until the ban was enacted, the homicide rate fluctuated between 10.9 and 13 homicides per million.
After the ban was enacted, homicides trended up until they reached a peak of 18.0 in 2003.
You can't blame an inanimate object that's availability has absolutely no correlation to murder and expect to end violence.
Stories published in our Daily Digests section are chosen based on the interest of our readers.
Walter Lewin, age 78—perhaps the most celebrated physics teacher in MIT's history—has been stripped of his emeritus status and barred from campus, and all of his physics lectures removed from Open Course Ware, because an internal investigation found that he had been sexually harassing students online.
I don't know anything about what happened beyond the terse public announcements, but those who know tell me that the charges were extremely serious, and that "this wasn't a borderline case." I'm someone who feels that sexual harassment must never be tolerated, neither here nor anywhere else.
But I also feel that, if a public figure is going to be publicly brought down like this (yes, even by a private university), then the detailed findings of the investigation should likewise be made public, regardless of how embarrassing they are.
If you want to change society, you have to actually change the whole of society.
Everything you need to manufacture firearms is available at Home Depot.
The materials needed to manufacture a 12 gauge shotgun cost about .
If someone wanted to build a fully automatic Mac-10 style submachine gun, it would probably cost about .
Every electrician, plumber, and handyman in the country has the materials necessary to manufacture firearms in their shop. They aren't like the chemicals necessary to manufacture methamphetamines.
We are desensitized to violence, and we have a generation of people that do not have the coping skills necessary to deal with reality.

 5 |'2011-01-02'| Linda
 6 |'2011-01-03'| Neo
...
 ? |'2011-01-31'| Linda

Так как 2011-01-01 суббота, то там 2 записи (с id=1,2). Далее, 2011-01-02 3 записи (с id=3,4,5) и т.д.
A: Для мускула у меня получилось вот так:

Diamond Insight Report highlights changing face of the female consumer
Stacey Hailes
New research published today by the De Beers Group in its latest Diamond Insight Report reveals that shifting relationship dynamics, women's expanding roles in society and changing perceptions of femininity are creating new motivations for diamond jewellery acquisitions.
Social and economic changes are leading to expanded symbolism for diamond jewellery, record levels of self-purchase and the establishment of new consumer types.
The Diamond Insight Report 2017 highlights the emergence of three key trends that are having a direct impact on how and why people buy diamond jewellery.
First, changes to family and personal relationships are leading to diamond jewellery being purchased and given to symbolise a wider range of 'moments' in a life beyond those directly connected to relationship milestones. As marriage generally comes later in life, and as it is seen as a union between two equal individuals, women are receiving diamonds for multiple occasions both before and after marriage. Alongside traditional relationship milestones, diamond jewellery is increasingly being bought to celebrate occasions such as a new job, a promotion and personal achievements more broadly.
Second, women's increased economic participation and higher earnings are supporting growth in women buying diamond jewellery for themselves. More than a quarter of women's diamond jewellery bought in 2016 in each of the four main consumer nations (the US, China, Japan and India), representing more than US$18 billion (£13.6bn) in value, was acquired through the self-purchase route. In Hong Kong, female self-purchase accounts for the majority of diamond jewellery sales.
Last but not least, a new perception of femininity is emerging that is more closely associated with strength and confidence, alongside more traditional attributes such as caring and nurturing. This is leading to diamonds being purchased to symbolise a wider range of emotions, such as joy, optimism and pride, and to the emergence of a new class of consumer: the mature single woman. Meanwhile, feminine success is increasingly being defined through qualities such as uniqueness and personal meaningfulness, and there is an enhanced focus on the importance of experiences, leading to greater interest in purchases that can reflect these characteristics.
De Beers Group chief executive officer, Bruce Cleaver, comments: "These societal and economic changes will have direct consequences for a wide range of industries, but they are especially exciting for the diamond sector. As diamonds are among the most powerfully symbolic purchases, as they lend themselves to individual design, and as they are effectively a hybrid of product and experience, the new trends present a major opportunity to build on the existing base of demand.
"While the giving of diamond jewellery as a token of love and commitment continues to constitute the majority of purchases, it's encouraging to see these additional sources of demand emerge. It's also great to see women buying more diamond jewellery for themselves in recognition of their achievements, or simply because they want to and they can. The diamond industry now needs to focus on what female consumers are telling us about how they feel about diamonds and make sure that products and buying experiences match their expectations."

Reading S-parameters: Sharp Dips
Figure 1. A resonant cavity composed of two interior layers
on a four-layer printed circuit board. The return current from
the signal path couples into the plane cavity and excites its
resonance modes.
The last pattern we'll cover in this series on reading S-parameters is sharp dips. These dips result from coupling to high-Q resonant structures and represent very narrowband absorption in S21 or S11.
Where do you see resonant coupling? Resonant structures can include coupling to an interconnect that is floating and not terminated. The structure does not have to be a uniform transmission line, it can also be a cavity made up of two or more adjacent plates as shown in Figure 1. Commonly, when a signal goes through a cavity and we hit the resonances of the cavity, it absorbs energy and results in narrow dips in the S-parameters.
Labels: fixture de-embedding, insertion loss, return loss, S-parameters, S11, S21, WavePulser 40iX
Reading S-parameters: Broad Dips
Figure 1. Quarter wave stubs exhibit resonance which
impacts S21 as broad dips. The resonant frequency
can be computed based on the characteristics
of the transmission lines and its length.
Besides ripples and monotonic drop offs, the third pattern commonly seen in plots of S-parameters are broad dips due to stub resonances. Figure 1 shows an interconnect which includes a stub. The interconnect is composed of 50 ohm uniform transmission lines which incorporate a branch point with an open at the end.
Not surprisingly, the open stub is a discontinuity. What's going to happen? At the open, it's going to reflect and head back. At the junction, it's going to branch. Some of it's going to go back toward the source and some of it's going to go forward toward the receiver.
Reading S-parameters: Monotonic Drop Offs
Figure 1. As a signal propagates, the amplitude drops off
exponentially with distance due to signal losses.
Last week, we showed how ripple in S-parameters relates to the length of the interconnect. The second common pattern we see when reading plots of S-parameters is the monotonic drop off in the amplitude of the transmission coefficient (S21), commonly referred to as the insertion loss. If we apply a sine wave and look at its amplitude as it moves through that interconnect, we see that it drops off exponentially as shown in Figure 1.
V_Out is shown as V_In times a decaying exponential. (Note that attenuation is usually described using base 10 rather than base e).
Reading S-parameters: Ripples
Figure 1. Ripple patterns commonly seen in S11 and S21.
When we look at plots of S-parameters, we can observe four classic patterns that affect the S11 reflection coefficient (aka. return loss) and the S21 transmission coefficient (aka. insertion loss): ripples, monotonic drop offs, broad dips and sharp dips. In this post, we'll look into how the characteristics of the interconnect affect the ripple pattern, which will help you better understand your own measurements.
The ripples in S11 and sometimes in S21 in Figure 1 are due to reflections in the interconnect caused by impedance discontinuities. This phenomenon has been investigated in an earlier post, What S-parameters Reveal About Interconnects (Part III)
