\section{Introduction}

Designing of an efficient rectifier at nanoscale level has been the subject
of intense research after the prediction of molecular rectifier by Aviram
and Ratner~\cite{r1} in $1974$. Following this pioneering work, interest in
this area has rapidly picked up with several theoretical propositions and
experimental verifications and most of these works involve small organic
molecules with donor-acceptor pair between metallic electrodes~\cite{r2,r3,
r4,r5,r55,r6,r7,r8,r9,r10,r11,r12}. Recently a DNA-based rectifier has
also been established~\cite{r13} which exhibits a large rectification
ratio of about $15$ at $1.1\,$V.

To achieve rectification (viz, $I(V)\ne I(-V)$), energy levels of the
bridging material have to be aligned differently for the positive and

$8$ atomic sites) chain attached to $1$D source (S) and drain (D)
electrodes. The filled red and blue circles correspond to two different

negative biases. This can be done in two different ways: (i) placing an
asymmetric conductor between source and drain electrodes~\cite{r9,r11},
keeping identical conductor-to-electrode couplings, and (ii) considering a
symmetric conductor with unequal conductor-electrode couplings~\cite{r12}.
The understanding is that for both these two cases resonant energy levels,
in presence of finite bias, are arranged distinctly for two different biased
conditions which results finite rectification. Therefore, when both these
two conditions are satisfied one can expect maximum rectification.

So far mostly molecular systems~\cite{r6,r7,r8,r9,r10,r11,r12} have been
used to design rectifying diodes, but constructing them using single molecules
is a major challenge~\cite{janes} and still many open questions remain which
certainly demand further study. Therefore, {\em designing of a rectifier
using simple geometric structure which provides high rectification ratio
is a matter of great interest.} In the present work we
essentially focus on it and make an attempt to establish that a simple
$1$D chain with correlated site potentials can exhibit a very high degree
of rectification, and sometimes it becomes nearly close to $\pm 100\%$ for
a wide bias window.
This performance is valid against disordered configurations which we confirm
by comparing
the results of different $1$D quasi-periodic chains like Fibonacci (Fibo),
Thou-Morse (TM), Copper-mean (CM) and Bronze-mean (BM) and all these
systems are constructed by using two primary lattices, namely $A$ and $B$,
following the specific inflation rules~\cite{quasiall,tm,skmfib}. For the
case of
Fibonacci chain the rule is: $A \rightarrow AB$ and $B \rightarrow A$.
Therefore, applying successively this substitutional rule, staring with
$A$ or $B$ lattice we can construct the full lattice chain for any
particular generation, say $p$-th generation, obeying the prescription
$F_p=F_{p-1} \otimes F_{p-2}$. So, if we start with $A$ lattice then the
first few generations of the Fibonacci series are $A$, $AB$, $ABA$,
$ABAAB$, $ABAABABA$, $\dots$, etc. The inflation rules for the other three
quasiperiodic chains which we consider here i.e., TM, CM and BM are:
$A \rightarrow AB$, $B \rightarrow BA$; $A \rightarrow ABB$,
$B \rightarrow A$, and $A \rightarrow AAAB$, $B \rightarrow A$, respectively.
Using these rules we construct the quasiperiodic chains for any desired
generation starting with any lattice site $A$ or $B$.

The rest of the paper is arranged as follows. In Sec. II we present the
model and theoretical framework for calculations. The results are described
in Sec. III, and finally, in Sec. IV we conclude our findings.

\section{Model and theoretical framework}

The calculations are worked out using wave-guide theory based on
tight-binding (TB) framework. In this framework the Hamiltonian of the full
system, schematically shown in Fig.~\ref{f1}, can be written as
$H=H_{\mbox{\tiny el}} + H_{\mbox{\tiny ch}} + H_{\mbox{\tiny tn}}$, where
$H_{\mbox{\tiny el}}$, $H_{\mbox{\tiny ch}}$ and $H_{\mbox{\tiny tn}}$
correspond to the Hamiltonians of the electrodes (source and drain),
quasi-periodic chain and chain-to-electrode tunneling coupling,
respectively. In terms of on-site potential $\epsilon_i$ and nearest-neighbor
hopping integral $t$, the TB Hamiltonian of the chain can be written as:
\begin{equation}
H_{\mbox{\tiny ch}}=\sum\limits_{i=1} \epsilon_i c_i^{\dagger} c_i +
\sum\limits_{i=1} t \left(c_{i+1}^{\dagger} c_i + c_i^{\dagger} c_{i+1}
\right)
\label{equ1}
\end{equation}
where $c_i^{\dagger}$ ($c_i$) represents the electronic creation
\begin{figure}[ht]
{\centering \resizebox*{6.5cm}{4cm}{\includegraphics{fig1.eps}}\par}
\caption{(Color online). Voltage dependent site energies of a $200$-site
chain for three different electrostatic potential profiles, shown by three
distinct colored curves, at the bias voltage $V=0.2\,$V.}

\end{figure}
(annihilation) operator. In a similar way we can write the TB Hamiltonian
$H_{\mbox{\tiny el}}$ of the two side-attached perfect $1$D electrodes
parameterized by $\epsilon_0$ and $t_0$. These electrodes are coupled to
the sites $1$ and $N$ of the conductor (described by $H_{\mbox{\tiny tn}}$)
through the coupling parameters $\tau_S$ and $\tau_D$ (see Fig.~\ref{f1}),
where $N$ being the total number of lattice sites of the bridging conductor.

In presence of a finite bias $V$ between the source and drain, an electric
field is developed across the chain and hence its site energies are voltage
dependent~\cite{el1,el2}. It gives $\epsilon_i=\epsilon_i^0 + \epsilon_i(V)$,
where $\epsilon_i^0$ is voltage independent and it becomes $\epsilon_A$ or
$\epsilon_B$ depending on the lattice sites $A$ or $B$. The dependence
of $\epsilon_i(V)$ is associated with electron screening as well as
bare electric field at the junction. In the absence of any screening
electric field is uniform across the junction~\cite{el1,el2} which makes
$\epsilon_i(V)=V/2-iV/(N+1)$ (linear variation, red line of Fig.~\ref{f2})
for a $N$-site chain.
Whereas, long-range electron screening makes the profile non-linear
as shown by the green and blue curves of Fig.~\ref{f2}. In our calculations
we consider these three different potential profiles to have a complete
idea about the bare and the screened electric field profiles, and their
effects on rectification as in realistic case different materials possess
different electron screening which will yield different field variations.
For a slight variation from these potential profiles no significant change
is observed in the physical properties, and thus our findings may be
implemented in realistic cases.

To evaluate transmission probability across the conducting junction we solve
a set of coupled linear equations containing wave amplitudes of distinct
lattice sites of the chain~\cite{wg,skm}. Assuming a plane wave incidence,
we can write
the wave amplitude at any site $n$ of the source as $A_n=e^{ikn}+re^{-ikn}$,
where $k$ is the wave-vector and $r$ being the reflection coefficient.
While, for the drain electrode we get $B_n=\tau e^{ikn}$, where $\tau$
represents the transmission coefficient. For each $k$, associated with
the injecting electron energy, we find the transmission probability from
the expression $T(E)=|B_1|^2=|\tau|^2$. Once it is determined, the net
junction current for a particular bias voltage $V$ at absolute zero
temperature is obtained from the relation~\cite{datta}
\begin{equation}
I(V) = \frac{e}{\pi \hbar} \int\limits_{E_F-\frac{eV}{2}}^{E_F+\frac{eV}{2}}
T(E) \, dE
\label{eqcurr}
\end{equation}
where $E_F$ represents the Fermi energy. Finally, we define the rectification
ratio as~\cite{r13} $RR=|I(V)|/|I(-V)|$. $RR=1$ suggests no rectification.
In all calculations we set the common parameter values as: $t=1\,$eV,
$\epsilon_0=0$, $t_0=3\,$eV and, unless otherwise stated $E_F=0$.

\section{Results and discussion}

Now we present our results. In Fig.~\ref{f3} we show the variations of
\begin{figure}[ht]
{\centering \resizebox*{7.5cm}{6.5cm}{\includegraphics{fig2.eps}}\par}
\caption{(Color online). $|I|$ and $RR$ as a function of voltage for a
$8$th generation ($N=34$) Fibonacci chain with
$-\epsilon_A=\epsilon_B=0.5\,$eV considering both linear (red curve) and
two non-linear (green and blue curves) potential profiles. In the first
column the results are shown for the symmetric coupling
($\tau_S=\tau_D=1\,$eV), while in the second column they are presented
for the asymmetric coupling ($\tau_S=0.1\,$eV and $\tau_D=1\,$eV). Dashed

\label{f3}
\end{figure}
$|I|$ both for the forward and reverse biased conditions along with the
rectification ratio $RR$ considering three different electrostatic potential
profiles where the first and second columns correspond to the symmetric and
asymmetric wire-to-electrode couplings, respectively. Two observations are
noteworthy. First, the currents for the positive and negative biases are
quite close to each other in the limit of symmetric coupling
(Fig.~\ref{f3}(a)), whereas {\em they differ distinctively in the case of
asymmetric coupling} (Fig.~\ref{f3}(c)) though the currents in this case are
much less than the previous one. Second, for a wide bias window
($\sim 1$-$2\,$V) the rectification ratio is significantly large, in the
limit of asymmetric coupling, reaching a maximum of $\sim 11$. This is
a reasonably large value compared to the reported results for different
conducting junctions considering both symmetric molecular structures as
well as asymmetric molecule-to-lead couplings where RR varies between
$2$ to $10$~\cite{r9,r12}.

To illustrate the mechanism of rectification let us focus on the spectra
given in Fig.~\ref{ados}. For the fully perfect chain ($\epsilon_i^0=0\,
\forall \,i$), $T$-$E$ spectrum in presence of positive bias (red curve of
Fig.~\ref{ados}(a)) exactly matches with what we get in the case of negative
\begin{figure}[ht]
{\centering \resizebox*{7.75cm}{6.5cm}{\includegraphics{ados2.eps}}\par}
\caption{(Color online). Transmission probability $T(E)$ (red color) as
a function of energy $E$ for ordered ($\epsilon_i=0 \, \forall \, i$) and
Fibonacci chains ($-\epsilon_A=\epsilon_B=0.5\,$eV) considering a linear

superimposed in each spectrum. Here we set $\tau_S=\tau_D=1\,$eV and $N=8$.}
\label{ados}
\end{figure}
bias (red curve of Fig.~\ref{ados}(b)). Therefore, for this junction
identical currents are obtained upon the integration of the transmission
function $T$, resulting a vanishing rectification. While, comparing the
spectra given in Figs.~\ref{ados}(c) and (d), worked out for the positive
and negative biases considering a Fibonacci chain, it is clearly seen that
the transmission spectra differ sharply which results a finite rectification.
To achieve rectification the essential thing is that, as stated earlier, the
energy levels of the bridging material have to be aligned differently for
the positive and negative biases. The alignments of energy levels for the
two different wires are clearly reflected from the $\rho$-$E$ spectra
(black curves of Fig.~\ref{ados}). Thus increasing the misalignment higher
$RR$ is expected and it can be done further by including additional asymmetric
factors like asymmetric environmental effects~\cite{env}, inconsistent
gating~\cite{gat}, etc.

Figure~\ref{ratio} shows the percentage of rectification (defined as
$(|I(V)|-|I(-V)|)/(|I(V)|+|I(-V)|)=(RR-1)/(RR+1)$) as a function of
voltage for three
different sizes of the Fibonacci chain. Quite interestingly we see that
for {\em wide voltage regions nearly cent percent rectification is
obtained}, and thus the present system can be utilized as a perfect
rectifier.

In order to justify the robustness of rectification against disorderness,
in Fig.~\ref{f4} we present $RR$-$V$ characteristics for some typical
quasi-periodic lattices. All these junctions provide finite rectification
where $RR$ varies in a wide range, and from these curves it can be
emphasized that any one of such lattices can be used to achieve
\begin{figure}[ht]
{\centering \resizebox*{7cm}{9cm}{\includegraphics{RR.eps}}\par}
\caption{(Color online). Percentage of $RR$ as a function of bias voltage
$V$ for three different sizes of the Fibonacci chain considering a linear
bias drop, where (a), (b) and (c) correspond to $N=55$, $89$, $233$,
respectively. Here we choose $\tau_S=0.1\,$eV and $\tau_D=1\,$eV, and
$-\epsilon_A=\epsilon_B=0.5\,$eV.}
\label{ratio}
\end{figure}
the goal of rectification action. Looking carefully into the spectrum
(Fig.~\ref{f4}) it is observed that $RR$ reaches to zero ($\sim -100\%$)
\begin{figure}[ht]
{\centering \resizebox*{6cm}{4cm}{\includegraphics{fig3.eps}}\par}
\caption{(Color online). $RR$-$V$ characteristics for four different
quasi-periodic chains with inconsistent wire-to-electrode coupling
($\tau_S=0.1\,$eV and $\tau_D=1\,$eV) in presence of linear potential
profile. Here we set $N=34$, $32$, $43$ and $43$ for Fibo, TM, CU and BM
chains, respectively, and choose $-\epsilon_A=\epsilon_B=0.5\,$eV.}
\label{f4}
\end{figure}
for a reasonable voltage window ($\sim 0.23$-$0.38\,$V) for the junction
containing BM wire. One could also get opposite scenario i.e.,
$\sim + 100\%$ rectification through any one of these junctions. This
is solely associated with the interplay between the arrangements of
lattice sites and electrostatic potential profile.

Finally, in Fig.~\ref{f5} we discuss the possibilities of regulating the
rectification ratio {\em externally} for a fixed bias voltage. This can be
\begin{figure}[ht]
{\centering \resizebox*{6.5cm}{6cm}{\includegraphics{external.eps}}\par}
\caption{(Color online). Percentage of $RR$ as a function of Fermi energy
$E_F$ for a $5$th generation Fibonacci chain
($-\epsilon_A=\epsilon_B=0.5\,$eV) considering a linear bias drop at $V=2\,$V,
where (a) and (b) correspond to the symmetric ($\tau_S=\tau_D=1\,$eV) and
asymmetric ($\tau_S=0.1\,$eV and $\tau_D=1\,$eV) wire-to-electrode couplings,
respectively.}
\label{f5}
\end{figure}
achieved by tuning the Fermi energy, which on the other hand is controlled
by external gate voltage. It is worthy to note that upon changing $E_F$ one
can get a wide variation of $RR$ (viz, $-100\%$ to $+100\%$), and thus it
can be emphasized that the present model can be utilized to get
{\em externally controlled} rectifier at nano-scale level.

Before the end, we would like to point out that, apart from rectifying
action all these quantum wires characterized by quasi-periodic lattices
show another uncommon property of junction current where an increase in
the bias voltage results a reduction of net current (see Figs.~\ref{f3}
and \ref{f4}). This is the so-called negative differential conductance
(NDC) effect~\cite{ndc}, and its detailed analysis will be given in our
forthcoming paper.

\section{Concluding remarks}

To conclude, in the present work we have attempted to establish a model
quantum system that can exhibit a high degree of current rectification
at nanoscale level. An unexpectedly large rectification ratio has been
obtained, and most importantly, we see that in some cases nearly cent
percent rectification can be achieved for a wide bias window. Our results
are also valid against disordered configurations which we have confirmed
by considering different kinds of disordered systems. Though the proposition
given here is based on purely theoretical arguments, we hope that its
experimental verification can be done in near future.

Finally, we want to note that although the results have been worked out at
zero temperature, all the physical features remain invariant at finite
temperature ($\sim 300$ K) as thermal broadening of energy levels is much
weaker than the broadening caused as a result of wire-to-electrode
couplings~\cite{datta}.

La collection Living est un amalgame de styles solides et vaillants conçue pour les Fluevogueurs de ferme volonté qui recherchent une botte qui refusera de les abandonner tant et aussi longtemps que leurs pieds n'ont pas lâché. Anton est une botte solide fabriquée au Mexique avec un cuir conçu sur mesure et une semelle cousue trépointe Goodyear. La belle fermeture éclair ajoute une touche de raffinement à cette botte qui paraît, intentionnellement, assez usée.
Love these boots - super comfortable after just a couple of wears, and they look good with almost everything. The big disappointment was when my long anticipated grey boots arrived and they were VERY beige. That said, I do wear them constantly and clearly have gotten over it. One other thing to note - the soles are very slippery until totally broken in.
Let me start off by saying I absolutely love these boots. they are extremely comfortable and the zipper is excellent quality. I've walked many a mile in them... but only after having to re-sole the. As you can see from the images, the sole does not cover the entire bottom of the boot and heel, which makes them very slippery and dangerous. After almost falling twice, I took them to a cobbler. Again, great boots - but disappointing sole design.
These are only the second pair of boots I've ever found that actually fit nicely around my ankles, which are (evidently, according to the proportions most boot makers use) quite slender. Almost all non-lace up boots make me look like I'm flopping around in galoshes. The Anton, however, fits nicely on my ankles, and I can even wear them with skirts. To anyone out there who has similar problems with the huge ankle width of most boots -- get these! I have them in brown, and they are beautiful, but my huge regret is that they were sold out in black when I found them (otherwise I would've bought both). I wear a 38 European or usually 8 American (sometimes 7.5), and I take an 8 in these. A note to the fabulous Mr. Fluevog: Please make more boots for those of us with slender ankles! What would be awesome is if your boots were offered in different ankle circumferences to accommodate more people.
I was on the hunt for versatile every-day boot. I wanted something I could throw on quickly (zipper or Chelsea boot, no laces), wear with any color-scheme (browns, blacks, blues, you name it!), and that wasn't too flashy (no brogues, loud colors, crazy shapes). I also wanted it to be comfortable and built to last, preferring a Goodyear-welted boot with a leather sole and stacked leather heel. This boot hit the mark on all fronts!
Some details: I am a man, and I usually wear a men's 10.5 or 11. I wear an 11.5 in Swordfish, 11 in Radio, Tolerance, and Angel, and a 10 in the Idol. I first ordered my Antons in an 11, but it was too large. I thought a half-size down would be perfect, but since this boot is only made in full sizes, I decided to exchange it for a 10. To my surprise, it is PERFECT! Probably the best-fitting boot I've ever owned (and I have a lot). I bought the grey, which is arguably more of a beige. I couldn't find any reviews by men, so I was a bit worried about the width of the ankle shafts. Other reviewers have mentioned the ankles being too tight at first, especially if they want to tuck their pants inside the boots. Since I always wear my pants over my boots, this isn't a problem for me. On the flip side, I am THRILLED with the fit of the ankle shafts! Most zip-up boots I own or have owned have a ridiculously wide opening that could accommodate two of my ankles. These fit like a glove - or perhaps a very well-fitted boot.
Most of my footwear is quite loud and unique, which unfortunately somewhat limits what I can wear them with. These boots are plain, not too pointy, but not too bulky, solidly built, and handsome on my feet. The leather is super soft, too! At this price, I highly recommend snatching a pair while they last.
So I stopped into my friendly local Fluevog store because I am a nut for a couple of the other Living styles - what with two pairs of Malcolms and one of the Mona getting heavy wear rotation. If only these had fit a muscular leg and not-skinny ankle I would have purchased both colors. All ye with lovely slender ankles, these are a dream.
I've been looking at these beauties for a while now, and stopping into the Soho store saw that they were ... Good Lord.. WAY on sale! I had to have them, and luckily for me they had my size (if you are a 1/2 size, go next size up, the ankle area will snug over your socks. I promptly put them on and trekked up to 2nd Ave Deli for lunch, then a sunny walk back to Greenwich Village.... and my feet were happy as could be. No breaking in necessary. Amazing deal, honestly. They're worth every penny of full retail... At the sale price, buy every color you won't be disappointed!
I love this "Living" family, also have the Oscar boots. The Anton is simple, plain, well made and the best looking leather. Both my sister and I purchased these boots, (brown & grey respectively) and we were wearing them when we cruised through the Nordstrom shoe dept and turning heads. They needed a bit of a break in, and watch it wearing them on slippery floors at first, but they are good in rain, sleet, snow, and sunshine. Love them! Get them while they are on sale. If you have skinny ankles they snug nicely. LOVE!


If you're underwhelmed by the Moto E3, then perhaps you'll like the Moto E3 Power. This new device that we saw getting Wi-Fi certified back in June is now available to buy in Hong Kong, even though it hasn't been officially announced yet.
The E3 Power is identical to the vanilla E3 in some respects, but pretty different in others. The most striking change is that the Power boasts a 3,500 mAh battery, compared to its lesser sibling's 2,800 mAh cell.
The E3 Power has a 5-inch 720p IPS touchscreen, an 8 MP rear camera with LED flash, a 5 MP selfie cam, the MediaTek MT6735P chipset (with a 1 GHz quad-core Cortex-A53 CPU), 2GB of RAM, 16GB of expandable storage, 4G LTE, dual-SIM functionality, a 1W rear speaker, and it runs Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.
So, compared to the E3 we have more RAM and more internal storage, and obviously that huge battery that makes this phone worthy of that Power moniker. The E3 Power is going for HKD 1,098, which is about $141 or €125 at the current exchange rates. It's unclear where else the handset might appear, since we have absolutely no official details about it yet.

The fast-casual restaurant, founded by the Italian trio of Alessandro Biggi, Francesco Brachetti, and Alberto Gramini, is making the most of the millennial avocado craze by serving avocado-based salads, sandwiches, bowls, smoothies, and desserts.
The idea came from Alessandro Biggi just two years ago, who was based in Seattle at the time. "I wasn't the best chef...but one thing I could make was avocado toast," Biggi told Business Insider. He called Brachetti, living in Mexico at the time, and within a year the concept of opening "the world's first avocado bar" had turned into a popular restaurant in Brooklyn. The restaurant has been successful since it started in 2017, running out of 200 ripe avocados within three hours on its opening day. On average, it serves around 250 people per day - thats at least 25 cases of avocados per week.
The 450 square-foot Brooklyn location is just the start, with Biggi hoping to open 20 more locations in the next 5 years. He told Business Insider that in the next 6-9 months another two locations will be opening in Manhattan, starting in Chelsea. He said that in expansion, he hopes to "keep an authentic vibe" and continue "making people aware of healthy and good food...the key words are happy and healthy." Cuban and Corcoran are committed to this as well, and Biggi is excited to have their expertise on board to help take Avocaderia to the next level.
The restaurant is located in the Industry City food hall in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.
The restaurant itself is pretty small, and is open from 9am-4pm Monday-Friday.
I got to the restaurant around 1pm, and the lunch-rush line nearly stretched out the door.
When I walked into the restaurant, the brightly colored menu was hanging up on the wall, listing salads, sandwiches, soups, and desserts. It also listed products like t-shirts, enamel pins, and an avocado body scrub.
The products listed on the menu are also on display in the back of the restaurant.
Next to the product display was a small table in the back with plants and a few condiments.
Also in the back of the store was a cluster of people taking photos of the "smashed in NYC" sign behind the counter. The neon sign and greenery gave the restaurant a nice atmosphere, and definitely made it an Instagram-worthy place to eat.
Food was served in a fast-casual style, and I waited less than 5 minutes for my food after I ordered.
Because there isn't seating in the restaurant, I ordered my food to-go and sat at the communal tables in Industry City, as most Avocaderia customers do.
I ordered the "chill out" toast, chocolate mousse, and a vanilla-almond smoothie. It came with a side of baked pita chips, and cost about $25.
On the menu, the "chill out" toast is described as "multigrain bread, avo mash, chili flakes, shichimi and lime citronette." I was surprised when the toast only came with one slice of bread, but it was so flavorful and decadent that it was filling.
The chocolate mousse, made from avocado, coconut milk, melted chocolate, and agave, was also very rich. The avocado was used for the texture of the mousse, but you could hardly taste it.
Avocado, dates, almonds, almond milk, vanilla, and agave syrup were used to make the vanilla-almond smoothie, and like the mousse, the avocado was hardly noticeable (besides the green tint). The smoothie tasted like a vanilla milkshake. It also offered "Avo Mango" and "Green Matcha" smoothies.
After eating at Avocaderia, it was clear why it's seeing so much success and praise - the food was delicious, affordable, and fast, lending itself perfectly to becoming a chain. It was also packed with millennials taking Instagram-worthy photos and indulging in all of the different avocado-based meals the restaurant had to offer.


GOD'S OWN CHILD, I GLADLY SAY IT. Illustrated by Jonathan Mayer. Sioux Falls: Kloria, 2016. 28 pages. Hardcover. $14.95.
Shortly before arriving at my parish in 2011, a beloved pillar of one of my congregations lost her battle with cancer after many years. Her name was/is Carmen, and though I never met her, her husband (since remarried), some of her children, and many of her grandchildren are still members of my congregation.
If environmental activists can speak of "carbon footprints" it should be acceptable for congregations to speak of the "theological footprints" of their cherished saints. Carmen left a sizable "theological footprint" behind her when she died, and it is still keenly felt six years later.
One of the discernible features of Carmen's theological footprint is the congregation's love for the hymn "God's Own Child I Gladly Say It" (Lutheran Service Book #594). The Lutheran Service Book sets the text of "God's Own Child I Gladly Say It" to the tune BACHOFEN, which isn't the easiest tune in the world to pick up. However, my congregation sings it with gusto, and it remains for them one of their favorite and most-cherished hymns.
Imagine my delight then when liturgical artist, Jonathan Mayer, put his creative talents into illustrating this beloved hymn! His efforts of illustrating this gospel-rich song are found in a hardcover book that goes by the same name as the hymn and is published by Kloria Publishing of Sioux Falls, SD.
The words of the hymn "God's Own Child I Gladly Say It" as translated by Robert E. Voelker account for the entire text of this book. The only "commentary" you'll find within its pages is entirely visual. That is, the watercolor vignettes provided by Mayer.
Each illustration is faithful to the text and is appropriately Christocentric.
My wife and I were recently blessed with our third child, Levi. On the occasion of his baptism, one of my parishioners gave Levi this book. Levi is, as of today, only six weeks old, but his sister is twenty-two months old and his brother is five years old. They have gravitated toward this book and frequently ask me to sing this song to them before bed, all the while they, aggressively, turn the pages.
This hymn, illustrated over twenty-eight color pages, has become an invaluable pedagogical tool for my family. On the page that has the text "Do I need earth's treasures many? | I have one worth more than any | that brought me salvation free | lasting to eternity" Mayer has an image of a toddler sitting in a room full of toys. However, rather than looking at the toys, the toddler has his gaze fixed upon his baptismal certificate hanging on the wall. A simple image like this allows me to ask my son, "What's the boy looking at?' My son didn't know. So I tell him, "He's looking at a baptismal certificate. Do you know what a baptismal certificate is?" My son shakes his head, so I tell him, "A baptismal certificate is a piece of paper that reminds you that you've been baptized." This naturally leads into the next question, "Do you know what baptism is?" This leads into a conversation about sin and forgiveness which leads into a conversation about Jesus Christ and His death and resurrection. "God's Own Child, I Gladly Say It" is a wonderful book and tool and it is one I am very glad to have in our home.
In addition to the illustration of the hymn, the book concludes with the song set to two separate tunes: a tune by Johann Caspar Bachofen (the one used by the Lutheran Service Book) and a tune by Wolfgang Wessnitzer.
This hardcover book with twenty-eight pages of gospel-rich illustrations printed on sturdy paper make this book durable for my not-so-gentle children. It was given to my son as a baptismal gift and I'm confident it will survive the destructive hands of his siblings long enough for him to also enjoy turning its pages and pointing at its illustrations. I've enjoyed having this book so much that it will soon become my "go-to" baptismal gift to my own godchildren and nieces and nephews.
I hope that Jonathan Mayer teams up with Kloria Publishing to illustrate another hymn, and when he does so, I hope he gives serious consideration to illustrating "Christ, the Lord of Hosts, Unshaken." Of course, it's not common for people to exchange gifts on the occasion of Michaelmas, so maybe undertaking Luther's "From Heaven Above to Earth I Come" makes better business sense.
If you're a pastor, godparent, or just like giving away good books with faithful gospel themes and emphases, "God's Own Child, I Gladly Say It" is a book you'll want to have at the ready for all those gift-giving occasions, such as baptisms, birthdays, and Christmases.

Swimming Upstream: The Challenges and Solutions to Salmon Run Photography
Natural salmon runs have occurred in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska for thousands of years, some of these river systems offer great diving and snorkeling photography, and possibly some bear! Most of these images however, are from the Garden River near Sault Ste. Marie in Canada. This is private reservation land, we coordinated our visit with Ben's Bait and Tackle. The ability to camp and park near the river allowed us to carry a housing for the Canon R5 with the Canon 8-15mm fisheye lens.

Since the 1800's various types of salmon have been "planted" in the Great Lakes. These were salt water fish that are born in streams, live in the ocean, then return to the same streams to breed and then die. Eventually these salmon adapted to live their lives without ever being in salt water.
Fly fisherman chase these "runs" which come seasonally based on species. At these times the (often very clear) streams and rivers that feed the lakes fill with thousands of spawning salmon. Considered by some as an invasive species, others value the success of this program - which has been more or less abandoned since the 1960's - as a boon to fishermen.

Large colorful fish, clear water, and sunny fall days while the leaves are turning make a compelling recipe for underwater photography. But there are some challenges to fly fishing photography that are different from diving for your images. The physical size of your system is the most obvious.
If you are committed to shooting instead of fishing it isn't too bad. If you are hiking, a compact camera like the Olympus TG-6 will fit in a vest without weighing you down. Most of these images were shot with the Canon R5 and the Canon 8-15mm fisheye, practical only because the distance to the river was short and we could just leave our gear on shore while fishing…mildly practical.

The easiest way to capture salmon images is while they are being "revived" after being caught and then released. The fish must be facing upstream, so the key is to make sure the sun is on the fish, and that your shadow is not over her. From there you can shoot classic close-focus-wide-angle images with your dome port inches away from the fish.
Flash would be wonderful, but is not very practical to carry. We found a modeling light (around 1000 lumens) mounted on a strobe arm and pointed at their face gave better detail, but this depends on where your sun is. A friend holding a reflector would be perfect, but now you would need three people to pull off the image.

If you are motivated to capture the fish in a more natural frame, you will need to get your camera away from you. The housing won't bother the fish after a few minutes, but you will. If you don't mind a little DIY you can attach your housing arms to a long pole and shoot remotely. The fish will act naturally as long as you are around 10 feet away. They will even "hold" behind a resting camera housing that breaks the current.
But how do I trigger the shutter? The simplest way would be to simply attach a string to the shutter release and give it a tug when you want to shoot. You may need to extend the shutter release control with a piece of plastic or a popsicle stick to give leverage.
Another solution would be to simply set your camera on interval shooting (time-lapse), weigh the housing - with or without a tripod - to the bottom (shallow!) in an area where the salmon like to congregate (called "beds" or "rubs" as this is where they spawn). You can set your camera to have a delay before the shooting session begins, 5 minutes should give the water time to clear out from setting the housing down, and allow the fish to normalize to its presence. From there the camera will take an image every second, five seconds, or every minute, depending on how long you want to leave it in place. Capture hundreds of images this way, and a couple should be cool!

The most sophisticated solution would be to control the camera remotely with a mobile device, like an iPhone or iPad. There are apps that allow this based on the camera model, and you can control the camera from a good distance away.
This signal will not go through water so the housing cannot be totally submerged. In our experience, if even a small section of the housing or the dome are sticking out of the water, the signal will carry to your phone or tablet.
A final choice, and perhaps the best, would be to get in and swim with the salmon. When you lay in the water snorkeling, salmon - and trout - seem to be less wary than when you are wading. Serious photographers will have a guide around for this, in case a bear were to happen along looking for easy treats from the dead salmon that are invariably around these runs.
An added bonus to this type of trip are the typically picturesque landscapes topside. © Steve Miller

The Zenith 11-S-474 is the only 11-tube radio produced by Zenith. It comes in a nicely designed cabinet and has a black dial like many other Zeniths of the time, but it does not have the "robot" or "shutter" dial like the 9-S-367. The power supply design consists of two 6X5s for more power and the audio output stage implements a push-pull amplifier stage with a pair of 6V6 tubes. The chassis is electrically identical to many other 10-tube models such as the 10-S-464 except the 6Q7 detector and preamp tube was replaced with a 6J5 detector and 6F5 preamp tubes.
This example was found through the local Austin classifieds. The cabinet has the original finish and was in surprisingly good condition for its age. The knobs and pushbuttons are all original as well and exhibit some darkening of color due to age. The grille cloth is a new reproduction as the original did not survive the test of time.


WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration announced Friday it is eliminating a $100 limit on the value of Cuban rum and cigars that American travelers can bring back from the island.
The administration is also lifting limits on cargo ship travel between the U.S. and Cuba and easing U.S. and Cuban researchers' ability to conduct joint medical research. The measures are contained in a package of relatively small-scale regulatory changes meant to ease U.S. trade with Cuba.
Cuban rum and cigars will now be subject to the same duties as alcohol and tobacco from other countries, meaning most travelers will be able to bring back as many as 100 cigars and several bottles of rum.
Because high-end Cuban cigars can sell for more than $100 apiece outside Cuba, every U.S. traveler can now legally bring back many thousands of dollars of Cuban products, potentially generating hundreds of millions of dollars in new annual revenue for the Cuban state.
The previous limit restricted travelers to a combined value of $100 in rum and cigars, although enforcement of the limit notably declined after President Barack Obama declared detente with Cuba in December 2014.
"Challenges remain - and very real differences between our governments persist on issues of democracy and human rights - but I believe that engagement is the best way to address those differences and make progress on behalf of our interests and values," Obama said in a statement announcing the changes.
Rum and cigar production is entirely government-run under Cuba's centrally planned communist economy.
The package of regulatory changes announced Friday also allows cargo ships to visit U.S. ports directly after docking in Cuba. They had been barred from U.S. ports for 180 days after visiting Cuba. Cuba blamed that measure for harming its ability to import and export and dampening hopes that a new military-run port in the city of Mariel could serve as a major link in the regional cargo shipping system.


FOLSOM, California – - FOLSOM, California – The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission FERC recently approved a historic $410 million settlement with JPMorgan, resolving an extensive investigation into market manipulation in the California and Michigan markets. Diligent market monitoring by the California Independent System Operator Corporation ISO to detect the bidding strategies and assist in the investigation has resulted in $124 million returning to California ratepayers.
The suspicious bidding behavior was first identified by the ISO in January 2011. The ISO gained quick approval by FERC to tighten market rules, limiting the financial exposure to the ISO market. JPMorgan, however, persisted in testing market rules, engaging in exploitative bidding behavior to capture tens of millions of dollars of excessive profits. After the ISO provided necessary evidence, FERC has acted to send every dollar in overcharges back to California ratepayers. With this settlement, FERC has exercised its full enforcement authority authorized by Congress under the Federal Power Act.
"The California ISO is extremely pleased with the FERC-ordered settlement with JPMorgan. This is a vindication for California ratepayers and for market participants who play by the rules and work to support an effective market," said ISO General Counsel Nancy Saracino.
The fact that JPMorganÂ's conduct was detected, stopped and punished illustrates the effectiveness of ongoing market oversight, which is essential for healthy competition. The California ISO continues to monitor energy trading with the same degree of vigilance the outcome of this case demonstrates.
In addition to the $68 million in disgorgement the ISO had requested in public filings with FERC since 2011, the settlement sends another $56 million back to California ratepayers associated with additional schemes the ISO market monitor had identified.
The settlement also references JPMorgan waiving all rights to pursue further legal proceedings. This includes a case JPMorgan filed in 2012, challenging the ISOÂ's application of its tariff to mitigate high bids submitted by JPMorgan during times that the power plant units it controlled were needed for reliability purposes. To ensure that suppliers cannot exercise market power under certain conditions, FERC has approved rules requiring that suppliers be paid the market rate, rather than what they bid, when the units are needed for reliability.
The ISO applied those rules and mitigated JPMorganÂ's bids throughout 2012. The tariff rule worked to mitigate significant excess costs of $227 million in 2012, almost all of which is attributable to JPMorgan units. Those dollars were never paid out to JPMorgan instead, JPMorgan received the same amount that other generators received for power that was delivered.
The second proceeding where JPMorgan is waiving its right to challenge an ISO action relates to a matter where the ISO had sought FERCÂ's approval to resettle bid cost recovery payments because generators were overpaid due to a misapplication of the market rules.
In June of this year, FERC ruled that the ISO could recover $52 million from generators who were overpaid, approximately $35 million of which was paid to JPMorgan. JPMorgan challenged that FERC decision by filing a rehearing request. Under the conditions of the settlement, it will forego the challenge.

Jim Love appeared to be the natural successor to John Hampshire as Yorkshire's No. 4. A tall right-hand bat who drove with venom, he never quite fulfilled his early promise and became seen as something of a one-day specialist despite passing 1000 runs in a season twice and scoring 13 hundreds. But it was in limited-overs matches he excelled, giving vital acceleration in the middle and later stages of the innings. He played three ODIs for England against Australia in 1981 without setting the world alight, but his finest hour came in the 1987 B&H final when he won the Gold Award for his unbeaten 75 at a time when wickets were falling. The perception of Love as a typically dour Yorkshireman was briefly dispelled as he punched the air in delight after blocking out the last ball to give Yorkshire victory by virtue of them losing fewer wickets with the scores tied. But Love was unfortunate that his career spanned the worst years of Yorkshire's in-fighting, and he suffered from playing in a largely unhappy side. He left them at the end of 1989, but continued playing Minor Counties cricket before throwing in his lot with Scotland as a player and administrator. He eventually became Scotland's director of cricket, but resigned in 2001 and now runs a pub in Yorkshire.

My personal arsenal of coffee making contraptions. Most of which reside on the kitchen counter. These include the auto-drip, the espresso, the percolator, the French press, and the moka pot. This is not to mention the bag of beans from the local home-town roaster, the coffee grinder, and the can of off-the-shelf grounds.
Each one serves its own purpose, and there is one basic fact to understand about the coffee making process, regardless of the equipment: coffee is ground to increase the surface area from which to extract the oils. So the finer the grind, the stronger the end-result. From that, each one does the job in a different way with vastly differing results.
I use my automatic drip most often. This is the work horse of my kitchen before I head off for work. It offers me a decent cup as I get ready in the morning and during my commute. No fuss, no muss, and it delivers just the quality I expect from my can of Folgers.
On those mornings I ride my motorcycle to work, I don't need more than just the one cup in the kitchen. For this I turn to my moka pot, a cool little stove-top pot that infuses hot water UP through the grounds, using steam as the force, to deliver one very small cup of espresso. It works fine with the off-the-shelf grounds. I mix the thick brew with some hot water from the teapot and, voila: Cafe Americano. Strong, robust, a quick kick, and off I go.
For those mornings (or afternoons) when I really want to savor a great cup of coffee, I reach for the French press. It takes more effort and more precision, but the results are spectacular. Worthy of that morning "porch swing moment." I would never allow the grocery-store grounds to sully my press. Coarse, fresh roasted grounds and nearly-boiling water. Steep for four minutes, plunge, pour, and sip gingerly. Luxuriate.
Best yet? A pot of percolated coffee on the camp stove in the national park, miles from anywhere on the way to nowhere.
Last but least, the espresso maker. Noisy, difficult, tough to master, harder to clean. Used only when pressed into service by a guest, because they think it might be cool.

Maruti's new offering in India, the Ciaz, is being continuously spotted testing in India for quite a few months now. The car will be launched as the Suzuki Authentics in China, for which the production ready images were filed at the patent office.
The large front grille in the concept Ciaz makes way for a more leaner one. The production Ciaz has smaller front and rear bumpers than the concept. The side profile looks similar apart from an increased ground clearance the production version.
The chrome garnished stylish alloys will however not make it to the production version. The wheel size should have been left as it is but the company has downsized them. A few other features include a Start/Stop Engine button, full leather upholstery, rear AC vents and a dual tone dashboard.
The car is based on the Ertiga platform and hence, will use similar drivetrains, a 1.4 litre petrol and a 1.3 litre MultiJet Diesel (MJD) sourced from Fiat. The diesel engine will be mated to a 5 speed manual gearbox while the petrol will get a CVT automatic transmission version apart from the manual.
Sources say the car may or may not bear the name Authentics when it is launched in the chinese market later this year as the company plans on using a simpler name. In India, MS will launch the car late 2014 or early 2015 to replace the ageing and not-successful-to-Maruti-standards SX4. The Ciaz is a full blown sedan as compared to the crossover type appeal of the SX4, which made it taller, ugly and undesirable.
Prices for the Ciaz are expected to start at INR 7.5 lakhs in India when it is launched. The car will go head on with the Honda City, VW Vento and the Hyundai Verna. All these cars received improvements recently along with the new Fiat Linea, so the Ciaz has a tough task ahead.

"As an introduction to the perhaps intimidating world of the Mountain Goats, Transcendental Youth is as good a place to start as any; many of Darnielle's favourite subjects are covered, and in poetic verse, with capable musical backing. For existing fans, it's another solid addition to the library."
Our verdict of the new album from the Mountain Goats was pretty positive, but we're always interested in hearing how you all feel about these things, so give it a spin and let us your thoughts.


trying to find a (stored) artifact but i cant find where it is stored in a dwarf fortress, any tips?
In general they just carry them around on their person right now (which of course gets a bit silly when you come to artifact thrones, coffins, weapon racks, etc. ) This will change with the next release, where at least some of them will be stored in specialized forts.
EDIT: Nvm, missed the part where you explicitly stated it was "stored". Could be wrong, but I think stored artifacts are generally just lying around the site in some random spot, so if it's a sizeable fortress you may have to invest some time looking for this artifact. Again, this will change with the next release when stored artifacts should become more obvious.
They dont put them on pedestals in dwarf fortresses yet? Because thats where i would check in every other site, eg meadhalls, in the middle of temples etc.

A: As you are using $scope in function parameter, which is killing the existence of $scope dependency of controller & created a new variable with name $scope. You shouldn't need to add $scope inside your function, it would be already available inside your function.
Code
$scope.add = function () {
    $scope.main.push($scope.sf);
};

A: You don't need to pass $scope in function .
Try like this
$scope.add = function () {
    $scope.main.push($scope.sf);
};

A: have you tried push method without passing the scope to the function
$scope.add= function(){ // no scope here
      $scope.main.push($scope.sf);

At Aydin Plastic Surgery, we can create a new facial profile for you with chin augmentation. Our double board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Bill Aydin, implements his chin augmentation surgeries with synthetic implants or with a fat transfer to improve the balance and harmony of your facial features at the jaw line. During a plastic surgery consultation at our office in Paramus, NJ or White Plains, NY you can discuss your concerns with Dr. Aydin and create a customized treatment plan to give you the results you want.
After augmentation with a chin implant, there may be some soreness, swelling, and numbness at the incision site. However, the results of a chin augmentation are immediately apparent. Implants provide long-lasting results from a single procedure, unlike facial fillers, which must be continually repeated to maintain results. There are no visible scars from incisions placed in the mouth.
During chin augmentation, the implant is positioned over the bone below the lips. A pocket is created, which will hold the prosthesis in place. Sometimes the bone is shaved to create a groove for the implant. Incisions are commonly placed in two areas that can easily conceal scars – on the underside of the chin or inside the lip, just between where the lower lip meets the gum. The results after this procedure are almost always positive for patients. An experienced surgeon will create subtle results, that are still dramatic enough to make a significant improvement to a person's self esteem.
Yes. With the implant and surrounding tissues adjusting to its new position, there will be a loss of sensation around the chin area and the skin around it will feel tighter than usual. This is an expected reaction post-surgery and shouldn't be a cause of anxiety. Eventually, sensitivity will return to normal, but it may take several months before the patient can regain sensation. The improvement will be gradual during the course of a year.

Q: how to iterate reference variable inside a class I tried to use the code PropertyInfo[] but the code is not getting any attribute. Because the attribute inside class1 is just a reference variable
 public readonly subClass1 sClass1;
 public readonly subClass2 sClass2;
 public readonly subClass3 sClass3;

 public class1()//constructor
 {
        sClass1= new subClass1();

        sbClass2= new subClass2();

        sClass3= new subClass3();
 }

My problem is, i can't access those 3 classes just by using PropertyInfo[]
but my i can access it using
        Type type = typeof(class1);
        FieldInfo[] fields = type.GetFields();

        var i = 0;
        foreach (var field in fields)
        {
            var f = field.GetType().GetFields();
            i++;
        }

But this code is not working as i want to work, they can get the class but i can't get the property of every subClass
What i want is something like this
var f = class1.sClass1;

my variable f will now hold the every property of a class.
I'm sorry if i can't explain it well. If you want to ask something, just comment below
by the way this is the inside code of every subClass
        public string X{ get; set; }
        public string Y{ get; set; }
        public string Width { get; set; }
        public string Length { get; set; }

A: You will have to do it recursively
 void GetFields(Type type)
{
foreach (FieldInfo fieldInfo in type.GetFields(BindingFlags.Instance
 | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic)) {
  Console.WriteLine("{0}  {1}", fieldInfo.FieldType.Name, fieldInfo.Name);
  if (fieldInfo.FieldType.IsClass)
    GetFields(fieldInfo.FieldType);
}

You have to use field.FieldType instead of using field.GetType()


Flagship BBC series Poldark makes the most of its south west locations, with the rugged Cornish coast and surrounding areas central to its production. Andy Fry discovers the region's wild attraction.
For some, the most eye-catching thing about BBC1's hit drama series Poldark is seeing Aidan Turner take off his shirt. But those who manage to tear their gaze from the lead actor are rewarded with spectacular views of Cornwall's beaches, headlands, moors and meadows.
Key locations include the iconic old mining stacks of the west Cornwall coast between Botallack and Levant, with judicious use of CGI to make them look operational. These are complemented by the likes of St Agnes Head, Bodmin Moor, Poldark Mine museum in Helston, Charlestown, Porthcothan, Camel Estuary and Church Cove, Gunwalloe; the latter the setting for a shipwreck in season one involving Turner and dozens of extras.
David Johnson joined Poldark as Location Manager ahead of season two, and was tasked to find exciting new backdrops across the region. He is keen to feature Kynance Cove near the Lizard – "probably the most beautiful beach in Cornwall", he says.


The purpose of these pages is to help those who would like to build their own websites. Hello, brave souls!
I know it can seem a daunting project if you're not a so-called techie, but the options have gotten better by the year for people interested in creating good-looking, functional, inexpensive websites for themselves. There are a lot of helpful tools out there, many of them free.
Why take the time to write this? I'm tired of seeing artists and small business owners wasting precious resources on overpriced or overcomplicated custom sites (or on mediocre hosted services directed toward niche markets). Sure, if having a super-swank website with cutting edge design and advanced functionality is important to your business model, then you need to invest a decent amount of dough. But if you simply need to have a respectable web presence — so that you have a URL to put on your business card, and so that potential customers or fans or employers will find satisfying results to their googling — then you can build it yourself in a matter of hours.
Here's a step-by-step to get you started.


Monday's POMSOX trading session was quiet as both Kina Securities stock indices remained unchanged. The Kina Securities main index KSi was maintained at 4,983.14 points and similarly the Kina Securities Home index, KSHi was steady at 11,002.73 points.
In overseas news, U.S. stocks closed higher on Friday as Wall Street clawed back from a sharp decline in the previous session but the market still posted a weekly loss on lingering geopolitical uncertainties. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 14.31 points to close 21,858.32 points. In Asia, Japan's Nikkei share average tumbled lower at 19,520.99 points after declining 185.26 points or 0.94% on Monday, recoiling in response to a stronger yen. Meanwhile, Australian Shares staged a broad recovery from Friday's steep sell-off as The S&P/ASX 200 index added 0.65 per cent per cent to 5730.4, with buying in the major banks driving the gains.


Happy 10-year anniversary to the Troubled Asset Relief Program, the most widely reviled piece of American public policy in the 21st century.
For those who've forgotten the official name, TARP was the emergency bank bailout passed in October 2008 to stem the financial crisis. The legislation initially allowed the Treasury Department to use $700 billion to prop up the financial industry, but $426 billion was ultimately spent. While President George W. Bush signed the bill, it passed Congress with more Democratic than Republican votes. And the actual administration of the bailout largely fell to the incoming Obama administration.
Since then, public opinion of the bailout has cratered. At this point, even TARP's defenders would admit it did profound and lasting damage to the public's trust in America's leadership. But they would also argue it was necessary to prevent total economic collapse.
But what if the TARP we needed was not the TARP we got?
When you have a major financial crisis like in 2008, your ultimate goal is to protect the real economy: to make sure that people keep their jobs and livelihoods and that businesses continue functioning. But when major banks are failing (or threatening to fail), money flows and financial markets seize up. People and business can't get credit, and transactions can't get made. Businesses start failing and employment starts falling, setting off a cascade effect as each job loss leads to more job losses.
Of course, 2008 wasn't America's first major economic depression. And we already had some safeguards in place this time.
Whether they were enough on their own is the first question.
Dean Baker, a co-founder and senior economist at the Center for Economic Policy Research, argues they may have been. He points to agencies like the Federal Deposit Insurance Commission (FDIC), created in 1933 to insure ordinary Americans' deposits. The ceiling for its guarantee was actually raised to $250,000 per account in the crisis. And the FDIC was also designed to handle financial bankruptcies, to carve up a failing bank and sell off the parts in an orderly fashion.
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve was created as the lender of last resort to the banking system. And the financial crisis saw the central bank break new ground in how it used its extensive powers. It provided trillions in liquidity to the financial system, it backstopped the market for the short-term loans than help businesses run, and more.
"The real economy was not fully insulated," Baker told The Week. But he also pointed out the rate of job loss — hundreds of thousands of jobs evaporating each month — continued in the months immediately after TARP's passage. Baker argued that the stress tests carried out by then-Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner actually did more to restore market confidence in the banks, a key part of stabilizing the economy, than TARP did. Without TARP, Baker wrote, the 700,000 jobs we were losing a month after Lehman's fall might have accelerated to 800,000 or 900,000: "That is a very bad story, but still not the makings of an unavoidable depression with a decade of double-digit unemployment."
Of course, under Baker's alternative TARP-less scenario, we would've still needed a massive fiscal stimulus to the real economy, one much bigger than the 2009 stimulus we got. But you could also imagine that, without TARP, Congress' appetite for a stimulus would've been much bigger. Meanwhile, "the chain of [bank] bankruptcies would have been a form of instant financial reform, downsizing the bloated sector," as Baker put it.
Damon Silvers, the deputy chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel for TARP from 2008 to 2011, is less confident on that score. "I think it's very clear to everyone who was on the inside of this that if we had done nothing we would've had a Great Depression," he told The Week. "We would've had 25 percent unemployment."
He argued the 2000s' frenzy of financial deregulation left major banks so large and complex that the FDIC couldn't digest them on its own. "The FDIC process was not made for a post-Glass Steagall bank," he explained. "The FDIC process could not work for Citigroup or Bank of America, the two institutions that were sickest." As it was, the agency still scuttled several smaller banks — but largely by selling them off to even larger banks, which then also threatened to fall.
As for the Fed, while its powers are extensive, they're still limited by both politics and the legal requirements of its charter. The central bank can lend money to other banks, so they can either settle up with each other or pay out cash withdrawals. But the Fed is only permitted to lend that money in exchange for collateral of equal worth — and in a crisis like 2008, the collateral the banks might hand over is, by definition, cratering in value. Furthermore, by lending that money, the Fed is handing the bank a new asset and a new liability at once. But the whole problem in 2008 was that all those mortgages going bad at once meant the banks' liabilities already outweighed their assets to a catastrophic degree. To repair the banks' balance sheets, you had to get assets and liabilities back into balance.
TARP did that by having the government buy preferred shares in the bank, thus injecting fresh equity: an asset with no counterbalancing liability.
Ironically, that was not the bill's original purpose. Geithner's predecessor at the Treasury Department, Hank Paulson, sold it to Congress as a way to buy toxic mortgages off the bank's balance sheets. (Hence TARP's full name.) But it quickly became apparent this was unworkable. Buying the mortgages off the banks at their peak pre-crash price was a step too far even for Paulson. But buying the mortgages at their new post-crash value would've destroyed the banks' balance sheets rather than resuscitate them. So Paulson and then Geithner took a different tack entirely — and supplied the equity by exploiting a technicality in the bill's language.
Here's the thing Silvers is firm on: There's more than one way to repair a bank's balance sheet. And just because TARP found a way, doesn't mean it was the right one.
The right way, according to Silvers, was modeled by the Roosevelt administration in the Great Depression. First, the federal government fires management and brings in its own auditors, so it's not dealing with anyone with a stake in the machinations that got the bank into trouble. It also explicitly guarantees the failing bank's obligations. (It almost certainly won't have to pay those obligations, but the commitment will stabilize financial markets, just as the stress tests did.) Then the government restructures the bad debt owed to the banks so the debtors actually have a realistic chance of paying it. In this case, that would've meant a massive write down of the underwater mortgages owed by millions of American households.
If this was being conducted under the old FDIC process, the bank would then be sold to a bigger competitor which would have to honor its long-term debt. But since the bank is so big and its competitors are in such disarray, that's not an option here. Instead the government would pay off the bank's debt by giving equity stakes to its long-term creditors. This would, of course, dilute the equity of the pre-existing stockholders down to almost nothing. Alternatively, the government could get really bare-knuckle and simply demand that pre-existing stockholders surrender their equity at massively reduced prices. Either way, the shareholders who were in charge of the bank when it ran itself into the ground would take massive or even total losses. But the bank would also see its balance sheet stabilized again.
Then, finally, once the bank is repaired, the government releases it to the market and sells off whatever equity stake it took to private hands.
The advantages of this alternative approach are myriad: It would've stabilized the financial markets, and punished the people responsible for the disaster. Crucially, it would also remove two enormous drags on the real economy: By eliminating so much bad housing debt, it would've helped the recovery move along faster. Instead of losing their homes and pouring so much money into the sinkhole of their mortgages, millions of Americans would've been able to get back to spending in the economy. And by quickly returning the banks to health, it would've allowed them to rapidly start supplying credit to businesses again.
"I'm not gonna stand up and say the traditional way of dealing with a banking crisis would've cost nothing," Silvers told The Week. His approach would've required, for a brief period, a much more muscular use of federal government power over the banks. "But it would've involved a lot less federal money."
This is actually where Baker and Silvers' preferred scenarios converge: Baker has also written that "it would have been best to do a bailout that imposed harsh terms on the banks," which is what Silvers is describing. And again, a Roosevelt-style restructuring of the banks would almost certainly still need to be matched with that much-bigger fiscal stimulus.
At any rate, that's not the TARP we got.
Instead, Geithner preserved existing management and shareholders and then injected just enough equity to keep the banks from going under, but not enough to allow them to function or lend on their own. Fully recapitalizing the banks required that all those bad mortgages slowly be paid back at their at their full pre-crash price — or that the banks had to take people's homes in lieu of payment. Underlying this brute reality was the massive mortgage fraud documented by David Dayen and others; a veritable factory line pushing millions of people through the courts and into foreclosure, without proper documentation.
That's the key thing to understand: Under Geithner's TARP approach, returning the banks' balance sheets to health necessitated bleeding American families dry.
"Tim [Geithner] thought he was smart enough to have it both ways; that he could protect the bank executives and stockholders and get the same result when they actually restructure the banks," Silvers told The Week. "And he was wrong." That choice also goes a long way towards explaining why, even though the crisis in the financial system itself passed rather quickly, the massive collapse in employment took 10 grinding years to repair. It's why 10 million American families lost their homes, and why, almost a decade later, the bank bailouts remain a source of simmering rage, nihilism, and distrust among voters.
"It was an extremely costly mistake," Silvers concluded. "In terms of homeownership, jobs, small businesses, and perhaps most of all the American people's trust in their government."

For any organisation to attain the targets it has established and be successful it wants managers to correctly implement and realize the functions, abilities and roles involved in the managerial process. When we began, I believed it was going to be a excellent and healthy relationship for ever, on that 25th he ask me for a Christmas gift I told him I never have funds to acquire him anything as a gift, he replied that I have one thing much better than cash that can buy the gift.
Many relationships might trigger a whole lots of punishment to our individual experience whereas any relationship with anybody is termed to be a pleased relationship (a mutual kind of relationship) whereby each Mr. A and Mr. B will see the relationship benefiting to themselves.
This skill is extremely important for managers to create a robust relationship in between both people and groups inside the organisation (Dale, 2008, p.121) this will make sure that there is trust and respect among these parties, allowing tasks to be completed efficiently and effectively.
I have an adult son who is married to a narcissist and though I am not in this relationship with her, I have to preserve performing a self-check, because the hardest factor is know that your kid is the victim of a narcissist and not becoming capable to do something about it, but wait till they recognize what they are dealing with.
Numerous readers of my weblog who have been in a, previously unrecognised, relationship with a narcissist report that that knowing the indicators, then understanding how to deal with the circumstance has been a major aid in resolving the circumstance for them.

'Not an Evacuation,' Insists State Department as Pentagon Sends 3,000 Troops to Evacuate U.S. Personnel
Spencer Brown | August 12, 2021 3:30 PM

During Thursday's State Department Press Briefing, spokesman Ned Price said that the "increased tempo" of the Taliban's offensive is "of grave concern" but sought to tamp down assertions that a reduction of U.S. diplomatic personnel in Kabul is an evacuation as the Taliban closes in on Afghanistan's capital and the Pentagon readies an airlift.
Characterizing the reduction in embassy staff as a continuation of April's ordered departure that is resulting in fewer civilian personnel while leaving just a core diplomatic presence on the ground, Price struggled to make a convincing argument that the Afghan people could be confident in its partnership with the United States.
Price insisted the "overall status has not changed" at the embassy in Kabul which "remains open" — albeit with a smaller staff — as more civilian diplomatic staff prepare to leave Kabul through what increasingly appears to be a hastily planned evacuation.
Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby confirmed Thursday that it is "trying to get" 3,000 additional personnel to Kabul "as soon as possible" to assist with the departure of civilian diplomatic personnel as it expects the military will be "required" to carry out an airlift as part of what he called a "safe and orderly reduction." In addition, the Pentagon will prepare a few thousand other troops nearby "if they're needed... to provide safety and secure movement" of Americans out of Afghanistan, setting up a situation that parallels the 1975 fall of Saigon.

"Nobody is abandoning Afghanistan — it's not walking away from it," insisted Kirby.
Back at the State Department, Price explained the United States "will continue to press forward in every way we can with the diplomacy."
"The message we are sending to the people of Afghanistan is one of enduring partnership," Price added, saying "the United States will be a committed partner to the people of Afghanistan," though he couldn't offer specifics other than said partnership can be "measured...in a number of ways."

"This is not abandonment, this is not an evacuation," Price insisted just hours after the U.S. Embassy in Kabul issued a security alert urging all Americans in Afghanistan to leave the country "immediately."
The United States will continue to "press for a reduction of violence and a cease-fire," Price said, pointing to a "broad and inclusive constellation" of other countries that "came together and agreed that the peace process in Afghanistan needs to be accelerated" and "will not recognize any government that is imposed through military force." The Biden administration, Price said, is "doing everything we can" to create an Afghanistan that affords its citizens safety but admitted diplomacy "has not achieved what we want to see achieved."
