After the successful acquisition of Atlantic Town Center in December, for which North American Properties formed a joint venture with CB Richard Ellis Investors, NAP is strengthening its strategy of identifying and investing in Atlanta 'blue chip' retail projects in A-plus locations with its most recent purchase: Alpharetta's Prospect Park.
Former site developer Stan Thomas envisioned a major mixed-use project that was to become a luxury destination for tourists, residents and shoppers; the project was to include $1.5 million homes and a luxury hotel on top of the retail component. The only thing to actually get built on the site is a parking deck for a proposed Whole Foods store, but that too was abandoned once Thomas ran out of cash and financing and filed for bankruptcy protection for the site.
North American Properties, on the other hand, has a scaled-down mixed-use center in mind for the 106-acre site at the Georgia 400 and Old Milton Parkway. Plans have been revealed for a smaller, vibrant retail and residential environment that, according to NAP managing partner Mike Toro, will be responsive not only to the current retail and real estate market but also to the needs of the community. Toro, who admits being on familiar ground, as he helped the city of Alpharetta in zoning 1.3 million square feet of retail space, will partner with the previous head of leasing for the original Prospect Park project, Ron Pfohl, in spearheading the project.
This second recent purchase of a high-profile mixed-use project in the Southeast reflects North American Properties' strategic turn toward aggressively seeking new opportunities and investments after a rather conservative approach in the years 2008 and 2009. NAP's efforts to reach out to the community have so far paid off: Atlantic Town Center's retail sales have increased at a rate three times the national average.

Last night on Hannity, Live Action President Lila Rose debated Fox News contributor Tamara Holder to call for the defunding of Planned Parenthood.
Despite Rose's explanation of the law, Holder – who is an attorney – continually refused to answer whether she had even read the federal statutes at issue. Instead, following Planned Parenthood's playbook, Holder simply denied the law had been broken.
At one point, Holder claimed Dr. Mary Gatter – the Planned Parenthood official who loves Lamborghinis – had apologized for her statements. However, at this time, there is no statement on Planned Parenthood's website issuing an apology for Gatter.
Apologies aren't enough when the law has been broken. Planned Parenthood must be held accountable.

Rick Snyder Arraigned on Neglect Charges for Flint Water Disaster
FLINT, Mich. — Rick Snyder, the former governor of Michigan, was arraigned on misdemeanor charges on Thursday in connection with his role in the Flint water crisis.
Mr. Snyder, appearing on video at the Genesee County courthouse in Flint, was charged with two counts of willful neglect of duty. If he is convicted, the charges are punishable by imprisonment of up to one year or a maximum fine of $1,000.
Wearing a dark jacket and a face mask, Mr. Snyder said little during the brief arraignment, answering "Yes, your honor," when the judge asked if he was still living in Michigan. Brian Lennon, a lawyer for Mr. Snyder, said that the former governor was not guilty of the charges.
Mr. Snyder was released on bond and ordered not to leave Michigan without permission from the judge. Mr. Snyder did not speak to reporters as he left the courthouse.
In a statement, Mr. Lennon said the charges filed were "wholly without merit" and that he expected the former governor to be exonerated. "Today's charges do nothing to bring justice to the people of Flint," he said. "These unjustified allegations do nothing to resolve a painful chapter in the history of our state. Today's actions merely perpetrate an outrageous political persecution."
Several other officials were also newly charged with crimes tied to the Flint water crisis. They included Nick Lyon, the former state health director; Howard Croft, a former public works director; and Darnell Earley, the city's former emergency manager.

By releasing this module Malekko presents a prevoiusly unreleased design of Grant Richter (Wiard). This one is a fully analog oscillator with phase modulation of square, triangle and sawtooth waves.
Other than the Anti-Oscillator we have here a VCO with the classic waveforms. Version 2 has an improved design and a dedicated VCO/LFO switch.
Each wave form except sine appears twice: TRI1, SQR1 and SAW1 plus the sine output the normal vesion of the wave, TRI2, SQR2 and SAW2 the phase shifted version. The amount of phase shift can be set manually or voltage controlled with the PhaseMod parameter. The sine and the triangle waves of version 2 have been improved and now are really clean.
Frequency is set with coarse and fine tune controls and a VCO/LFO switch. Besides the 1V/Ocatave input the Richter oscillator 2 has an exponential CV input and a sync input.


If you've observed that you eat a high amount of low-nutrient, high-calorie foods, you're probably on the right path noticing this is something worth changing.
For reasons outside of the scope of this post, I'm not crazy about labeling foods with terms like "junk". But in the case of THIS conversation, my objection is simple: it's a distraction.
Entering judgment-mode and condemning all the "junk" prevents you from gaining key insights.
But instead, the broad view of where your eating habits fit into your life.
Food, of course, isn't just for nutrition, it also has cultural and hedonic roles (the latter being fancy talk for "it tastes good and you like it").
When you over-simplify and say "junk", you're ignoring what is really going on… what is driving you to eat…and to make the specific choices you're making.
The most common example is when you are deliberately eating for pleasure.
When you can be clear on "I am eating too many low-nutrient foods specifically for the purpose of getting more pleasure from my meals", that is infinitely more helpful than a superficial statement like "Eh. I just eat too much junk".
And then in the case of a "pleasure deficiency"…you can start to reverse engineer.
You are putting too much of a burden on those "junky" foods to be THE sources of pleasure in your diet.
You have your dry chicken breast, dry broccoli, and dry brown rice…and then 2 servings of ice cream so you can actually get some damn enjoyment out of your dinner.
When desserts and snacks are your ONLY sources of pleasure, you're going to be more likely to consume them in ample amounts.
On the other hand, if you focus on maximizing pleasure by using flavorful recipes with more nutrient-dense foods, you can meet most of your pleasure needs before opening the freezer or cupboard.
Healthy, balanced eating doesn't need to be unenjoyable. In fact, it's imperative you DO enjoy it.
1) Because if you're not enjoying it, that might actually be a sign it's not *really* balanced. That example I gave before of the "healthy" meal of chicken breast, brown rice, and broccoli? Yeah, that meal would be woefully deficient in dietary fat without some oil or butter (or other fat).
2) So you can meet most of your needs for "Vitamin P" (pleasure).
Not only will you be able to reduce how much you eat of calorie dense foods in the short-term, but you'll be more likely to stay on your new path.
Click here to learn about the Habit Project™ and how you can build the skills and habits you need to achieve lasting weight loss (while actually being able to enjoy food MORE).
For your results to be sustainable, your behaviors need to be sustainable.
And for your behaviors to be sustainable, they need to provide you with *immediate* value.
Are you working on nutrition changes that make your life at least *a little bit* better in the immediate term?
Do they give you more energy, less stress, more satisfaction, or better focus?
Or do they feel like burdens that will only be worth it if you get on the scale a month from now and see your weight has gone down?

Q: Most capable solo class? I'm interested in the possibility of trying to take as minimal team as possible through the game to maximise the funds available to upgrade my runner.
What archetype mix is considered the most solid for the various tasks required in a run?
I do understand that in some missions you will have to take a story character along, or a token decker.
Would a solo strategy revolve around a mage with healing? A rigger with a bots for damage and healing? Or would it require a mix of more than one archetype, such as a Rigger Shaman.

A: I have to say that there are certain parts of the game where solo is very infeasible (namely, the portions that require you to have a decker on hand).  However, I managed to get by most of the game with a smallish party of 2/3 consisting of me as a street samurai with focus on rifles, a support adept/shaman runner (there's a dwarf support you can hire that's perfect for that), and a decker as needed for all the hacking duties.  The support's only purpose is to provide aim/armor/haste and some incidental healing as needed.
The problem with the heal spell is that it only heals the last damage dealt to you, if its from multiple sources, you won't be able to heal back up to max.  I've found it much easier to focus on dodging and quickness to avoid being hit in the first place than to rely on healing back up.  This also synergizes well with ranged weapons.  Also, medkits are cheap enough to use as a emergency heal when needed.
I'm not too big of a fan of riggers since the bots simply can't do as much DPS as you can with an assault rifle on full auto.  There isn't much in the game you can't take out with a single burst of full auto with some of the late game assault rifles.  Though I'd imagine its possible to combine rifles with rigging skills to let your bot take most of the damage, but then you'd have to invest in a lot of drone repair kits since the bot can't dodge nearly as well as you can.
Also, there are some late game hacks where you have to defend an area while your decker works their way through the matrix.  Since there are multiple enemies heading your way and you have to keep your decker alive, having additional runners will make that part a lot easier.  I doubt this part is soloable even if your main is a decker as they'll just get beat up while they're hacking (your drone will become deactivated while hacking so you can't use that to defend either).
So TLDR, I'd stick with a minimum party of 2, you as the primary DPS with a full auto rifle and a support dwarf for buffs, and a decker as needed.  This is how I beat the game, money was no issue at all as long as you grab all the pay data and sell it.

Home Electricity and Magnetism Capacitance – Capacitance of two parallel plates
Capacitance – Capacitance of two parallel plates
Electrical Capacitance
You must have heard of the word capacity, for example the capacity of the stadium, or the capacity of the lungs. The word stadium capacity means: How many stadiums can visitors receive. so, by analogy, the word electrical capacity of conductors could mean what quantity charge conductor can receive.
Capacitance is the ability to store electrical charge. The measure of the ability of a conductor to store sharges is known as capacitance or capacity. If you change the amount of electricity on the conductor, the potential of the conductor is also changing. The relationship between q and V on the conductor is constant.
Capacitance of a conductor is defined as the charge required to raise its potential through one unit.
The conductor capacity is equal to the amount of charge and i achieved electric potential.
It is sometimes easier to remember this relationship by using pictures.
Here the three quantities of Q, C and V.Where: Q (Charge, in Coulombs) = C (Capacitance, in Farads) x V (Voltage, in Volts).
SI Unit of capacitance is "farad" (F). Capacitance is said to be 1 frad when 1 coulomb of charge raises teh potential of conductor by 1 volt. Since 1 coulomb is the big of charge, the capacitance be usually in the range of mili fard, micro farad, nano farad or pico farad. Even the Earth has no capacity of 1 farad
Example 1: If an isolated metal ball is connected to the electrometer, the amount of charge is charged. The electrometer will show a greater deviation when the amount of charge is higher.
Capacitors are the most widely used electronic components. We find capacitors in televisions, computers, and all electronic circuits. A capacitor is an electronic device that stores electric charge or electricity when voltage is applied and releases stored electric charge whenever required.
First Capacitor-Leyden jar
Leyden jar – The Leyden jar is an early capacitor that was invented independently by a German cleric Ewald Georg von Kleist and by Pieter van Musschenbroek of Leyden, Holland around 1745. It is important because it was used in many of the early experiments in electricity, including experiments performed by Benjamin Franklin. It consists of a glass jar coated with metal foil about halfway up on both inside and outside. A brass ball and rod passing down through an insulating top is electrically connected to the inner metal foil by a metal chain as shown in Fig. The jars were also filled half full of water. To charge a Leyden jar, the brass knob is connected to one terminal of a static charge generator and the outer coating is grounded, as by holding the jar in your hand.
In one place in the Bible, the details describe the machine with great precision in which electricity generated by friction of air on silk curtains and was packed in a box constructed as a capacitor.
Applications of Capacitors
Computers Computers use capacitors in many ways Some keyboards use capacitors at the bases of the keys When the key is pressed, the capacitor spacing decreases and the capacitance increases The key is recognized by the change in capacitance
The Capacitor, sometimes referred to as a Condenser, is a simple passive device that is used to "store electricity".
The capacitor is a component which has the ability or "capacity" to store energy in the form of an electrical charge producing a potential difference (Static Voltage) across its plates, much like a small rechargeable battery.
The property of a capacitor to store charge on its plates in the form of an electrostatic field is called the Capacitance of the capacitor. Not only that, but capacitance is also the property of a capacitor which resists the change of voltage across it.
The capacitors ability to store this electrical charge ( Q ) between its plates is proportional to the applied voltage, U.
Note that capacitance C is ALWAYS positive and never negative.
What is the principle of capacitor?
Operation of a capacitor. Let us connect a electroscope to a metal plate, as shown picture, and place a charge on the plate. As we increase the charge, the leaves of the electroscope will diverge more and more widely, and the potential of the plate will increase in proportion to the charge (the potential of any charged plate must be proportional to the amount of charge on the plate). At some point the plate will reach the point where the electrons will leak to the air as rapidly as they are supplied and the plate will be at capacity. Let us now bring a second plate, plate B, which is grounded (connected to the ground), close to it as shown in picture (b). As we bring plate B close to it, the leaves of the electroscope start to fall together. The closer we bring plate B, the further the leaves fall. As the leaves fall, the potential on plate A falls also, and the plate's capacity for holding charge increases. We find we can now add a lot more charge to the plate before it reaches capacity.
What happened here? As we brought plate B close to plate A, the amount of charge on plate A remained the same. Why did the leaves on the electroscope fall? Answer: When plate B was brought opposite to plate A, it became charged by induction. Its electrons were repelled to the far side of the plate and away to the earth through the ground wire. The unbalanced positive charges remaining on plate B acted to "bind" the electrons on plate A, neutralize them, and reduce its potential. With the presence of the unbalanced positive charges on plate B, it takes less work to place the same negative charge on plate A which, reduces its potential.
Storage of electricity in capacitors
Storing Energy in a Capacitor Capacitors can be used to store electrical energy. The amount of energy stored is equal to the work done to charge it. During the charging process, the battery does work to transfer charges from one plate and deposit them onto the other. Figure : Work is done by an external agent in bringing +q (or battery) from the negative plate and depositing the charge on the positive plate.
Different types of electrical capacitors: multilayer ceramic, disc-ceramic, multilayer foil, tubular ceramic, polystyrene (axial and radial), electrolytic.
Construction of a capacitor
The basic construction of all capacitors is similar. The construction of capacitor is very simple. A capacitor is made of two electrically conductive plates placed close to each other, but they do not touch each other. These conductive plates are normally made of materials such as aluminum, brass, or copper. The construction of capacitor is very simple.
A capacitor is made of two electrically conductive plates placed close to each other,The empty space between these plates is filled with a non-conductive material or electric insulator or dielectric region. The non-conductive material or region between the two plates may be an air, vacuum, glass, liquid, or solid. This non-conductive material is called dielectric.
When a capacitor is charged, its plates have charges of equal magnitudes but opposite sign: +q i –q. However, we refer to the charge of a capacitor as being, the apsolute value of these charges on the plates.
In general a capacitor's capacity for holding charge increases with the area of the plates and increases as the distance between the plates decreases.
Capacitance of two parallel plates
A simple demonstration capacitor made of two parallel metal plates, using an air gap as the dielectric.
A capacitor is just two plates spaced very close together, and it's basic function is to hold a whole bunch of electrons. The greater the value of capacitance, the more electrons it can hold. If the size of the plates is increased, the capacitance goes up because there's physically more space for electrons to hang out. And if the plates are moved farther apart, the capacitance goes down, because the electric field strength between them goes down as the distance goes up.
The capacitance of a capacitor is a number representing a measure of the capacitor's storage capability. It is a constant for a given capacitor. For example, the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor (the most common type of capacitor and the type we considered in the above experiment) is given by the formula:
A = area of the plates (m2)
d = distance between the plates (m)
ε = dielectric constant for the dielectric between the plates
ε0 = 8.85×10-12 C2/N-m2
C = capacitance (farads) (F)
Series and Parallel Capacitors
Capacitors are one of the standard components in electronic circuits. Moreover, complicated combinations of capacitors often occur in practical circuits. It is, therefore, useful to have a set of rules for finding the equivalent capacitance of some general arrangement of capacitors. It turns out that we can always find the equivalent capacitance by repeated application of two simple rules. These rules related to capacitors connected in series and in parallel.
When capacitors are connected in series, the total capacitance is less than any one of the series capacitors' individual capacitances. If two or more capacitors are connected in series, the overall effect is that of a single (equivalent) capacitor .
When we share the equation with Q, we obtain a mathematical expression for the serial connection of a capacitor:
Thus, the total capacitance is less than any one of the individual capacitors' capacitances.
When capacitors are connected in parallel, the total capacitance is the sum of the individual capacitors' capacitances. If two or more capacitors are connected in parallel.
The total amount of electricity of this battery is:
When we divide the equation with U, we obtain a mathematical expression for the parallel connection of a capacitor:
Thus, the total capacitance is more than any one of the individual capacitors' capacitances.

Q: Java Swing - Null Layout - How to set Z index for components? I am trying to create a freecell game, I have not implemented the logic yet as I am having trouble with the layout.
The main issue that I have not been able to solve is that the JFrame orders cards Z index values in the order that they are painted, such that the first card painted has the highest Z-index.
I am trying to make the z index changeable.
I am using a null layout - the professors instructions said to not utilize any managers or external layout help. (ugh)
Attempted solutions:
I tried using JLayeredPane by instantiating a pane, setting its bounds to fit exactly in the JFrame, adding all my cards to the Layered pane, and then adding the pane to the JFrame - but that did not work.
I tried using the "setComponentZOrder(comp, index)" but that did not change the axis either.
Below is my code. Is there no way to do this on null layouts?
This oneDrive link contains the card images if you are attempting to run the program.

A:
I am using a null layout - the professors instructions said to not utilize any managers or external layout help. (ugh)

So then basically you need to write your own layout manager.

Below is my code. Is there no way to do this on null layouts?

A null layout will have no effect on how Z-Ordering working. The Z-Ordering will be done for you automatically. The key is the order in which you add components to the panel so that you get the Z-Ordering you desire.

I am trying to make the z index changeable.

Adding components to a panel will affect the Z-Order.
Check out Overlap Layout which is a layout manager specifically designed for this. I know you can't use the layout manager, but better understanding how Z-Order works will allow you to write your code simply.
For example check out the simple code below. By simply playing with which add(...) method you use to add the cards to the panel you can control the Z-Order to your advantage:
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class SSCCE extends JPanel
{
    ArrayList<JLabel> cards = new ArrayList<JLabel>();

    public SSCCE()
    {
        setLayout( null );

        cards.add( createCard("1", Color.RED) );
        cards.add( createCard("2", Color.GREEN) );
        cards.add( createCard("3", Color.BLUE) );
        cards.add( createCard("4", Color.YELLOW) );

        //  This would be your first natural attempt (but it doesn't work)

        for (int i = 0; i < cards.size(); i++)
            add( cards.get(i) );

        //  This affects the Z-Order to do what you want

//      for (int i = 0; i < cards.size(); i++)
//          add(cards.get(i), 0);
    }

    public JLabel createCard(String text, Color background)
    {
        JLabel label = new JLabel(text);
        label.setOpaque( true );
        label.setBackground( background );
        label.setSize(30, 70);
        label.setLocation((cards.size() + 1) * 20 , 20);

        return label;
    }

    private static void createAndShowGUI()
    {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("SSCCE");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.add(new SSCCE());
        frame.setLocationByPlatform( true );
        frame.setSize(200, 200);
        frame.setVisible( true );
    }

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable()
        {
            public void run()
            {
                createAndShowGUI();
            }
        });
    }
}

A: I don't often support null layouts, I think there is such a small set of use-cases where the are really useful, however, you think this is one of those situations, then I would highly recommend the use of a JLayeredPane, as it will allow you to control the z-ordering of the components.
Have a look at How to Use Layered Panes for more details


It is this very freedom that brought us to where we are now, in a massive mess !
Of course freedom of speech is vital but not when it is insidiously out of context.
Take Q & A for example. That ignorant Greens sheilah last night publicly accused the Liberals of complicity to fund donations in their policy making.
That alone should be sufficient to sack Trivioly for allowing it !
Different note FRANCE, what a great country!
If that's the case then what were the others ? Trivioly let the twit on her right waffle on yet she constantly cut down the only one who made sense ! All she concenytrated on was to corner the Liberal, nothing else mattered to the silly git !
I wonder if she actually knows the meaning of integrity.

Siemens Energy Teams up With Duke Energy, Clemson University to Study Hydrogen Use
Project to help each entity reach bold carbon-reduction goals
U.S. Department of Energy to fund year-long study
CLEMSON, S.C.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#EnergyTransition–Siemens Energy, Duke Energy and Clemson University have teamed up to study the use of hydrogen for energy storage and as a low- or no-carbon fuel source to produce energy at Duke Energy's combined heat and power plant located at Clemson University in South Carolina.
The U.S. Department of Energy announced today that it awarded Siemens Energy a $200,000 grant for the research initiative.
The pilot project, called H2-Orange – a nod to hydrogen gas and the collaboration with Clemson University – will ramp up in March 2021 and include studies on hydrogen production, storage and co-firing with natural gas.
The studies will evaluate multiple forms of hydrogen production, including green hydrogen, which is created from water and has no byproducts. Hydrogen also has the potential to store larger quantities of energy more efficiently and for longer durations than current lithium-ion battery technology.
"We look forward to developing an advanced hydrogen energy storage system to reduce the carbon footprint on the Clemson University campus, while optimizing the cost of energy for the campus and microgrid," said Richard Voorberg, vice president of global service operations at Siemens Energy. "We want to be a driver of the energy transition, and this is a great step toward building reliable and efficient clean energy infrastructure in the U.S."
This unique arrangement combines the experience, expertise and perspectives of Siemens Energy as the technology developer, Clemson University as the beneficiary and Duke Energy as the owner and operator of the asset.
Siemens Energy will study the use of its Silyzer electrolyzer to produce hydrogen fuel to help power the existing SGT-400 natural gas turbine at the Clemson plant. The Silyzer can use renewables and clean energy sources to create hydrogen without producing emissions. Clemson University will lead the integration of hydrogen into the campus grid and ensure energy needs are met, and Duke Energy will provide operational, engineering and grid modeling expertise. Duke Energy also expects the results of the study to be applicable to its larger combustion turbine fleet.
"Hydrogen integration is a possibility at many of our natural gas stations," said Regis Repko, Duke Energy's senior vice president and chief fossil/hydro officer. "The best way to innovate is through teamwork, and this research could influence the future of energy – reducing reliance on fossil fuels, decreasing energy costs and benefiting the environment and all energy users."
For years, Duke Energy has actively evaluated hydrogen as a low- or no-carbon fuel source to help the company meet its bold net-zero carbon goal by 2050. Siemens Energy and Clemson University also have net-zero carbon goals to reach by 2030.
"This collaboration supports our institutional goal to be carbon neutral while advancing the development of energy technologies that could have far-reaching societal benefit," said Tanju Karanfil, Clemson University vice president for research. "We are proud to collaborate with industry leaders Duke Energy and Siemens Energy and appreciate their interest in this project."

Traffic Woes Delay Lunch By Half An Hour in Match Between India A and Australia A
The end of the first session on Day 1 of the match was delayed by half an hour because the lunch that had been dispatched from the players' hotel was still en-route to the ground when the scheduled break for lunch was to be taken.
Last Updated:September 09, 2018, 19:41 IST
Edited by: Shayne Dias
India A and Australia A players' 'hunger' to perform was quite literally tested in the second unofficial Test between the two teams at Alur.
The match is taking place at the KSCA Ground in Alur, approximately 28 kilometres from Bangalore. The vehicle that was carrying the lunch, dispatched from Ritz Carlton hotel on Residency Road in Bangalore was reportedly stuck in heavy traffic, resulting in both players and officials confused about what the further course of action was.
The match officials had no other option but to order the play to carry on for another 30 minutes – an unprecedented situation and not one the hungry players would have liked to find themselves in.
The local Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) officials stated that they did not have a role to play in the logistics involved for the players' lunch, which the BCCI was handling. A KSCA official said, "We were to provide the grounds, which we did. But we do not understand why they had to send for lunch from the middle of the city. Could they not have foreseen this problem and ordered food from a nearby place?"
Meanwhile Saba Karim, who is the BCCI's cricketer operations manager said, "It's an international game and we were to provide the best of facilities. I am waiting for a report from my staff but I think the match officials took whatever decision needed to be taken."
Thankfully lunch was not delayed further and the players did not have to put up with a delay of more than half an hour. India A were 223/3 at stumps on Day 2 of the Test, trailing Australia A's first innings score of 346 by 123 runs.

|By Arabian Post Staff|The Shariah Standard for Gold, introduced with the support of the World Gold Council, will open up a vast new world for gold investments, according to the Council's Gold Outlook Report for 2017.
"The Shariah Standard on Gold will enable the foundation of what could be the most significant event for Shariah finance in modern times", Dr. Mark Mobius, Executive Chairman, Templeton Emerging Markets Group., says.
Whereas previous Shariah rulings were fragmented or nonexistent, the Standard provides definitive guidance on gold products, potentially allowing millions of Muslims to invest in gold. Furthermore, Islamic finance has expanded rapidly in recent years with many countries actively promoting this sector as part of their economic development and diversification policies.
These factors can potentially propel gold demand across many Muslim markets from Malaysia, the UAE and Saudi Arabia, where Islamic finance is well established, to countries such as Indonesia and Pakistan, which are pushing for Islamic finance to play a greater role in their economic infrastructure.
With the size of Shariah compliant market expected to grow to US$6.5 trillion by 2020, according to the Islamic Finance Stability Board, just a 1% allocation to gold would equate to nearly US$65 billion or 1,700 tonnes in new demand.
The report further observes that gold is becoming more mainstream. Gold-backed ETFs made gold accessible to millions of investors, primarily in the West, over the past decade, but other markets continue to expand too. China has seen dramatic growth in recent years through Gold Accumulation Plans, including the physicallysettled gold contracts in the Shanghai Gold Exchange.
In Japan, pension funds have increased their gold holdings over the past few years. In the corporate sector, more than 200 defined-benefit pension funds have invested in gold. In addition, more than 160 defined-contribution plans have added gold to their list of investments.
The Council says this trend is expected to continue and expand into Western markets, where pension funds have had to rethink asset allocation strategies following prolonged exposure to low (and even negative) interest rates. This is expected to result in structurally higher demand.


Joseph Louis Lamberton was born in the Drome region of France, the son of an engraver. He started his artistic training in St. Étienne at the École Régionale des Arts Industriels before moving to Paris to the École des Beaux Arts to study sculpture and painting. He subsequently studied at the Académie Julian with fellow pupils Jacques-Emile Blanche and Auguste Rodin.
Joseph Louis Lamberton returned to live in St. Étienne, and taught at various colleges in the city. He also practiced as a sculptor, decorating building facades in the Art Nouveau style, and being commissioned to execute many monuments, the largest being the Monument of Remembrance in the cemetery of Cret de Roc, St. Étienne. He was also commissioned to create many sculptures, the most notable of which is the Muse of Music in honour of Jules Massenet (1926), also in St. Étienne.
However, he continued with his painting, exhibiting at the Salon des Artistes Français in Paris from 1899 to 1907, as well as commissions for decorative paintings for various public buildings and churches. His recurring themes and subjects in his paintings included nudes, portraits, and still lifes.
Joseph Louis Lamberton died at St. Étienne in 1943.


Matt Slauson #68 of the Chicago Bears watches from the sidelines as his teammates take on the Miami Dolphins during a preseason game at Soldier Field on August 13, 2015 in Chicago, Illinois. The Bears defeated the Dolphins 27-10.
Former Chicago Bears lineman Matt Slauson suffered a devastating injury during a game last week, but doctors told him that things could have potentially altered his life forever if not for some good fortune.
Slauson, who played for the Bears from 2013 to 2015, was playing right guard for the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday against the New England Patriots when he broke two vertebrae in his back, he told media on Wednesday.
Slauson continued to play with the injury, and if he had suffered one more big impact in the game, doctors told him that he could have ended up paralyzed.
"I had no idea how close I was to changing my family's life," he said.
The Colts have placed Slauson on injured reserve, ending his season, but have asked him to stay with the team and to attend practices.

Foreign Media on Arvind Kejriwal, The 'Insignificant Man'
HomeAll IndiaForeign Media on Arvind Kejriwal, The 'Insignificant Man'
This Article is From Dec 22, 2017
The documentary's title is a nod to Arvind Kejriwal's outsider status: He was a joint commissioner in the income tax department in New Delhi before he became involved in the rough and tumble of party politics.
All India(c) 2017, Foreign PolicyEmily Tamkin, The Washington Post Updated: December 22, 2017 9:08 am IST
The documentary's title 'An Insignificant Man' is a nod to Arvind Kejriwal's outsider status. (File)
New Delhi: Can a single-issue protest party come to power? The answer, as shown in "An Insignificant Man, "a new documentary by first-time filmmakers Vinay Shukla and Khushboo Ranka, is a resounding yes.
But can a protest party become something more once in power? The answer to that, as shown by everything that happened since they stopped filming, is a bit more complicated.
"An Insignificant Man," released by Vice in the United States this week, is a behind-the-scenes chronicle of the rise of anti-corruption party Aam Aadmi Party, or AAP, and its leader, Arvind Kejriwal. They were "nobodies on this political circuit," Ranka said, yet managed to dethrone the powerful Congress Party in Delhi in 2013. That they were nobodies at the time filming began was fortuitous: Shukla and Ranka were allowed to be flies on the wall everywhere from war room meetings to rallies to TV filmings, amassing almost 400 hours of footage.
The documentary's title is a nod to Kejriwal's outsider status: He was a joint commissioner in the income tax department in New Delhi before he became involved in the rough and tumble of party politics.
"The idea of insignificance is used in contemporary politics very often by people across the spectrum," Shukla said. "People who call themselves outsiders to the system. Bernie Sanders. Donald Trump." These politicians, Shukla said, claim they will become significant by virtue of who and what they represent.
In a sense, Kejriwal has become very significant indeed: He is the chief minister of Delhi, a territory of roughly 25 million people. The problem he's discovered since 2013 is turning that regional, single-issue focus into a truly national political movement.
Kejriwal and the AAP have several big challenges. Saddled with the responsibilities of actually governing - Kejriwal is busier battling toxic smog than trying to make the AAP a national power to be reckoned with - the party simply has its hands full.
Right now, "getting Delhi right" is the AAP's "primary obsession," said Milan Vaishnav of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, which means that they can't also work to grow into a true national movement. "The AAP remains an upstart party," he said.
It's also very much still a one-man show. Shades of this can be seen in the documentary - for example, when, against the wishes of his volunteers, he insists on picking candidates himself. In 2015, two years after the heady days featured in the documentary, Kejriwal consolidated power for himself and purged leading intellectuals from the ranks, noted Vaishnav.
"With each passing year, the AAP more closely resembles a 'normal' political party in India," he said. 'Normal' in the Indian context means iron control at the top. "Like other parties, it has shown little appetite for internal dissent, despite its rhetoric to the contrary," Vaishnav said.
And that consolidation of power has worked to limit the party's national chances, says Rick Rossow of the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
"Kejriwal has a very difficult time sharing powers with others," he said. "How do you run Delhi and expand the party?"
There's one other headwind for the AAP, which swept into office with an anti-corruption message that resonated precisely because the Congress Party was in power and notable corruption scandals were everywhere. But nobody's hung any major corruption scandals on Prime Minister Narendra Modi or his inner circle, Rossow said.
That "takes a bit of steam away" from a party built to focus on that one issue, he said. That could change if Modi loses and Congress comes back into power - but Modi's BJP held on to power in the key state of Gujarat this week, suggesting to some a comfortable hold over the national body politic, and an even rockier road ahead for a not-so-insignificant man.

Clark County Commission Chairman Steve Sisolak says he's not changing his campaign strategy even as his colleague Chris Giunchigliani sounds increasingly likely to jump in with him to a Democratic primary for governor.
In one of the first formal addresses since he announced his candidacy in June, the longtime head of the powerful board that oversees the Las Vegas Strip stuck to a narrow topic: conservation and public lands. He touted Clark County's work to ensure underprivileged kids get opportunities to enjoy the outdoors, and the outreach of a desert tortoise mascot named Mojave Max who teaches children about endangered species.
He also nodded to an ongoing debate about the status of Nevada's two newest national monuments — Gold Butte and Basin and Range. If Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke is listening to public comments as he says he is, Sisolak said, he should retain monument status for all 27 sites in question.
"Our national monuments should not be treated like a contestant on a reality show to be voted on or off at someone's whim," he said.
Meanwhile, Giunchigliani — who didn't give a speech but mingled with attendees — said after the luncheon that she was still "very, very, very seriously considering" running for governor. She recently sent handwritten notes to all 63 state lawmakers in one of the clearest signs she's interested in the seat.
An assemblywoman before she was a commissioner, Giunchigliani has endeared herself to progressives by taking positions opposite of Sisolak. She stridently opposed taxpayer funds for a Las Vegas NFL stadium, for example, while Sisolak was a key player in striking that deal.
"I believe I bring enthusiasm to the party that you're not going to find from the other two gentlemen," she said, referring to Sisolak and Steve Cloobeck.
Giunchigliani also took a jab at the likely Republican contender Attorney General Adam Laxalt, who is expected to announce a gubernatorial bid, but has lined up a slate of conservative heavy-hitters including Vice President Mike Pence and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz to attend his annual Basque Fry campaign event. Laxalt held a joint press conference with Clark County's sheriff and conservative U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions last week at an event that attracted protesters.
Republican state Sen. Scott Hammond said he's hired a campaign manager to coordinate his bid for Nevada's 3rd Congressional District.
Hammond said at the chamber event that he'd enlisted Ross Hemminger, spokesman for the Assembly Republican Caucus and campaign manager for former Rep. Cresent Hardy's unsuccessful re-election bid. He said he's also planning to hold fundraisers and make the rounds in Washington D.C.
Hammond, who's best known for sponsoring bills to create Nevada's Education Savings Accounts program, said he wasn't too concerned about the prospect that Danny Tarkanian might run and try to win a seat that he narrowly lost in 2016.
"I love that people want to get involved and I wouldn't discourage anybody from running," Hammond said in an interview after the Latin Chamber of Commerce luncheon.
Democratic Assemblyman Edgar Flores said he plans to seek re-election to the Assembly.
Flores, who chairs the powerful Assembly Government Affairs Committee, had been noncommittal during the legislative session about his future plans. His name has been thrown around as a potential secretary of state contender.
Flores said after the luncheon that he wants to finish work he started in the Legislature four years ago and will re-evaluate his future plans in another two years.

His amazing black&grey work will leave you amazed and wanting a new tattoo.
He uses very fine lines to create amazing details on his designs that look sketchy and somehow unfinished.
Based more on the contrast betwen black and grey/white, his style seems inspired from graphic drawing, geometry, as well as dark, grim designs.
He also uses skulls as a motif and dotwork and splatter tehniques to make his designs some unique pieces of art.
