Few months ago, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva woke up from a long shut-down phase. It is now operating at a centre of mass energy of 13 TeV (it might reach 14 TeV in the upcoming phases). This is the first time in the history of humanity that particles are collided at such high energy in a machine built by humans.
Thus the Run II of the LHC is just starting and is lifting once again the excitement in the particle physics community. It is thus the right time to discuss what particles or theories could be discovered by the ATLAS and CMS detectors. In this spirit, a topical workshop organised by the Munich Institute for Astro- and Particle Physics (MIAPP) has been held in Munich: "Anticipating Discoveries: LHC14 and Beyond" from the 13th to the 15th of July.
In the last few days, the so-called pentaquark has been claimed to be discovered by the LHCb collaboration. This is an extraordinary discovery but the particle physics theorists are after another kind of particles. Indeed this pentaquark (a composite object made of 5 quarks, see picture to the right) has been predicted many years ago by quantum-chromo dynamics (QCD) but has never been observed so far. What theorists are looking for are theories beyond the standard model. These are introduced to explain experimental and theoretical problems. In general, these predict new resonances or effects that can be traced by experimental collaborations.
During this workshop many theories or extensions of previous ones have been proposed. In particular since the discovery of the Higgs boson, extensions of the Higgs sector are under high scrutiny. The beautiful theory of supersymmetry which predicts a special relation between bosons and fermions is still greatly discussed.
In particular extension of its minimal version have been proposed. Finally, as we know there is a huge amount of unexplained, invisible matter in our Universe, the so-called Dark Matter, it is justified to propose myriads of models that could explain various anomalies. In particular during these three days, several theories involving a non-abelian structure of the dark sector have been presented. These have a particular phenomenology at very different scales and are currently being tested against observations.
During this workshop many theories have been discussed and all theorists are craving to find signs of their favourite theory at the next LHC run. The kind of signs they are looking for is similar to the one reported by the ATLAS and CMS collaboration. The experimental collaborations have made public an excess in the Z/W channels (see picture on the left) and especially in the one where the gauge bosons are decaying into two jets. Future will tell us whether this is a sign of hope and the beginning of a new exciting hera.
PhD student Mathieu Pellen reports from a dark matter workshop in Zaragoza.
The quest for the understanding of dark matter is certainly one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. It is thus an extremely hot topic in the particle physics community.
The 11th Patras Workshop on Axions, WIMPs and WISPs has been held in the beautiful and hot city of Zaragoza (Spain) (21-26 June 2015). As the title indicates, the focus was on dark matter and more particularly on axions.
Axions have been originally proposed to solve the strong CP problem. They are light particles (of the order of an electron-Volt or even lighter). These can be detected in light-shinning-through-wall experiments or in low background underground laboratories like the one of Canfranc (which has been one the highlights of the conference). During the conference, several innovative experiments looking for axions, axion-like particles or dark photons have been presented. New mechanisms predicting the existence of light particles have been also proposed.
In addition to light particles, Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) are the best motivated solution to account for the dark matter observed in our Universe. WIMPs are studied in three different ways: the first is their production at collider experiments such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC, Geneva). The second is the detection of nuclear recoils produced by dark matter particles scattering on heavy nuclei in underground facilities such as the Grand Sasso laboratory in Italy. Finally, when two dark matter particles annihilate in the galaxy, they produce cosmic rays of standard model particles. These can be detected in satellite-based experiments such as the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02, partly built at the RWTH Aachen University) on the International Space Station (ISS).
My contribution to the conference focuses on the last possibility. I have reported exciting results on a project carried out with Leila Ali Cavasonza and Michael Krämer. Indeed, AMS-02 has reported an excess in the measurement of the positron flux (red date points, left figure) compared to standard expectations from astrophysical sources (green curve, left figure). This has triggered a lot of interest recently. The reason is that anti-particles are an extremely interesting observable when searching for dark matter. Indeed they are rarely produced from standard astrophysical sources. Thus the discovery of excesses in anti-particles fluxes could be already a smoking gun for the existence of dark matter. Nowadays, the dark matter contribution is believed to be sub-dominant in the AMS-02 observations. However, the absence of a "bump" – as expected from a from a dark matter signal – in the very smooth AMS-02 spectrum is a great opportunity to set limits on dark matter annihilation cross sections.
We have derived new upper limits on the annihilation cross section using a new method that allows us to study dark matter with masses ranging from several TeV down to 1 GeV. In particular we have focused on the impact of massive electro-weak gauge bosons on these limits. Even if their contributions are limited, they are of prime importance as they produce all standard model particles when decaying. I have thus shown that there is a promising complementarity between different fluxes of anti-particles. This opens up new ways to exclude or find dark matter in the next few years using indirect detection.


From the estate of the late Oppi Untracht.
This impressive, large silver necklace is from the estate of the renown Indian jewellery expert Oppi Untracht. It is also published in his seminal book Traditional Jewelry of India as a full-page illustration on page 356.
It comprises five silver plates decorated with floral motifs in blue and green enamel work, and joined by multiple chains shaped like daisy chains. Each of the plates is further decorated by having bunches of suspended silver jangles.
Such a necklace would have been women by women in Himachal Pradesh during festivals.
A related example also is illustrated in Hoek (2004, p. 131).
The example here is wearable, stable and in excellent condition with only trivial losses and imperfections.

Mommy Dead and Dearest
Mommy Dead and Dearest is, without a doubt, one of the most shocking documentaries out there…from the very beginning to the very end.
The documentary tells the devastating story of Gypsy Rose, a young girl who spent her entire childhood fighting debilitating ailments, including cancer, muscular dystrophy and brain damage.
But the true devastation is that she actually wasn't sick with any of these conditions.
Gypsy Rose was forced and manipulated by her mother into believing – and sometimes pretending – that she was actually sick.
There was so much deception in this case that it's truly hard to wrap your head around it…but there's more, because the end of this shocking documentary is just as unbelievable as the beginning.
This is definitely one to add to the top of your queue!

Ruby Ridge
Telling the traumatic story of the Weavers, Ruby Ridge recounts a stand-off between a reclusive family and the government that went terribly, terribly wrong.
The Weaver family had moved to a secluded cabin in the Idaho wilderness when they became associated with a white supremacy group. Whether they were actually active participants in the group would later be called into question, but the association alone put their patriarch, Randy Weaver, on the government's radar and ultimately led to an arrest warrant…and that's when things got out of control.
The events that followed are now widely known as what-not-to-do when trying to arrest someone…and certainly make for a one-of-a-kind story.
This is definitely a shocking documentary for the ages…and you can find it on Netflix, so definitely add it to your queue!
**If you've read the best-selling book, Educated, you may remember author Tara Westover's mention of the Weaver family throughout her story…THIS is their story!
Don't F*** With Cats
Oh boy. Don't F*** With Cats is one of those unbelievable documentaries that shocks from the very beginning until the very end…with some pretty bizarre drama sandwiched in between.
The disturbing story starts with an anonymous video posted online that shows a man suffocating two kittens.
The shocking video finds its way to a group of savvy internet users that decide to take matters into their own hands and track down the anonymous animal killer themselves.
Their pursuit spans years and takes them to multiple nations until finally the police get involved…but for crimes that extend way beyond the original video.
This is definitely one of the most shocking documentaries on Netflix, so move it to the top of your queue! You'll never forget it.
Food, Inc.
As far as shocking documentaries go, Food, Inc. is one that will stay with you for a looooong time.
The documentary dives into the food we eat – the way it's raised and cared for, produced, packaged and sold – and provides some pretty horrifying facts that the vast majority of consumers have no idea are true.
And it's not just that certain things we eat are unhealthy.
It also uncovers abuse throughout the system (with both animals and workers) and a ton of deceptive practices from both marketers and politicians that affect the food we eat and the information we consume.
There are a lot of shocking food documentaries out there, but this is definitely one of the best (and one that everyone should see). Add it to your queue!

Blackfish is a must-see shocking documentary that uncovered disturbing details that luckily ended up leading to a lot of positive change in the world.
The positive change, however, didn't come without an immense cost, as this documentary shows from the very beginning to the very end.
Centered around the gross mistreatment that orca whales face in captivity, Blackfish follows the story of Tilikum, a killer whale that was part of Sea World's notorious performance show.
His devastating story is more than enough proof that these creatures just can't survive – let alone thrive – in these kind of conditions.
This is definitely one of the best shocking documentaries out there and one that will change your feelings on a lot of things.
Definitely add this one to your queue! It's a must-see.

The Imposter
If you're really looking for a how-the-heck-did-this-actually-happen kind of shocking documentary, then The Imposter needs to move to the top of your queue…quickly.
This film tells the story of Frederic Bourdin, a French man who successfully conned a Texas family (as well as two national governments) into believing that he was their missing son.
What makes this documentary even more shocking is that Frederic himself narrates the story…and as you'll see, he's one of those characters that you just can't make up.
This is a truly unbelievable documentary that will shock and entertain you from start to finish.
Add this one to your queue!
Time: The Kalief Browder Story
It's hard to believe that so many injustices can happen to one person, but this shocking account of Kalief Browder's story proves it's possible…and probably happening more often than we think.
Browder's tragic story starts with a wrongful arrest for a minor violation – stealing a backpack – that ultimately led to him being stuck in jail for over three years…without ever even being convicted of a crime.
Browder's time in jail is disturbing and devastating, involving abuse, neglect and far too long for a minor to spend in solitary confinement.
This shocking Netflix documentary provides a glimpse into the criminal justice and prison systems' failings and how devastating the effects can be on those who are stuck in it.
This is one that you will never forget – definitely add it to your queue!

Saudi Arabia Uncovered
If you're looking for a shocking documentary about politics, religion and culture, then Saudi Arabia Uncovered should move to the top of your Netflix queue.
This documentary delves into one of the most notorious and secretive nations in the world, yet one that still manages to hold a lot of power, both politically and economically.
What's really shocking about this documentary isn't the things you'd expect though. Yes, there are egregious human rights violations, abysmal rights for women and extreme religious laws…but what is truly most shocking is the hold they have over US and European political decisions.
This is another shocking documentary on Netflix that should move to the top of your queue! It's definitely one that everyone should see.

End of the World Cult
There are a lot of really shocking cult documentaries out there, but End of the World Cult is in a class of its own.
The documentary follows the Lord Our Righteousness Church in Strong City, New Mexico, led by notorious cult leader Michael Travesser (aka Wayne Bent).
This group is possibly most famous for their steadfast belief that the world was going to end in 2007…but really, it's the outrageous devotion that the followers have to their leader that make this a truly shocking documentary.
From ensuring each virgin sleeps with him first, to claiming God wanted his daughter-in-law to become his own wife, Wayne Bent is obeyed – worshipped, even – without question.
If cults are your thing, then this is without a question the next shocking documentary to move to the top of your queue! And if that isn't exciting enough…there's actually a sequel – Inside a Cult: Messiah on Trial (and it's just as good!).

Tiger King is one of those amazing Netflix documentaries that manages to shock…and shock…and shock…again and again and again.
The premise – two big cat lovers at war with each other – is shocking enough. But it's when you start to dig into the lives of these two nemesis that you really start to have your mind blown.
There are death threats, accusations of murder, polyamorous relationships, lost limbs…and, of course, lots and lots of tigers.
This is definitely a shocking Netflix documentary series that will go down in history, not just for the storyline, but for finding the most bizarre real-life characters that you couldn't have made up if you tried.
So if you aren't yet familiar with Joe Exotic or Carole Baskin, it's time to update your Netflix queue! This is a shocking documentary you'll never forget.
The Confession Tapes
Imagine being coerced or tricked into making a confession for a crime that you didn't commit.
It's a terrifying thought that could happen to any of us, but unfortunately it DID happen to each person featured in The Confession Tapes.
What is so shocking about this documentary series is how frequent this practice seems to happen…and how it truly can happen to anyone.
Even worse is that many of these people are still in jail for a crime they didn't commit.
This is definitely one of the most shocking Netflix documentaries out there and with more than one season, it's perfect for a binge-watching weekend.

So, we figured all was said and done as Monday morning rolled around. Of course, enough things were on our agenda so I had to get my driver's license taken care of right away…lots of holiday travel makes for random police stops and, well, I'd better be legal if we headed through a checkpoint. We also had people planning on coming out to Calacali over the Christmas holiday, so Brad would now need to create time to grocery shop with me so we could use his card (yes, we could use cash but that's a whole different story that we're not going to go into here), yada, yada, yada, more logistics and, well, all in all, this week was going to be some kind of a pain.
So, Brad is at the school and gets a summons to come into the AAI school office Monday morning. A mysterious call has come in to the school in regards to some items that have been found on a street, and some of these items happened to have our name on it. The man calling says he is willing to meet us later that day to return the information that he has found. Andrea, from our school office, handles the Spanish-speaking call on our behalf, and advises us in the pros and cons of planning a point of rendezvous later that evening. After much discussion and debate with Andrea and others involving distinct opinions of whether or not this was a good idea, we heed Andrea's counsel based on the seemingly positive phone conversation with the aforementioned gentleman and make the hopefully accurate decision that he is not in on the original crime and out for additional monies. We proceed with planning a 6:30 pm "drop" outside a very public Burger King by a local mall. Brad, Jacob, Josh, and our guest, Charlotte, who was visiting from the Netherlands, decide they will all venture down after supper, via bus (no trolley on this route), to the CCI mall to play a role in the live version of the Bourne movies.
Per the phone call, at the designated time, they were to look for a man on a black motorcycle, wearing a black helmet, a black vest, black pants, and black boots. Interestingly, that describes quite a large portion of the Quito population. After awkwardly asking three different people at what must be seen as a well known meeting spot if they were Señor Guadalupe, Jacob tried calling him to see if somehow the communication lines had been crossed and other arrangements should be made. Señor Guadalupe was indeed in the neighborhood, but still fifteen minutes away. One missed call later, the rendezvous point was quickly changed to across the street, in front of a bank (the irony in this is not missed) and the exchange was complete. A 'regalito' (small reward) was offered for the man's kindness and celebratory ice-cream cones were shared.
The rest of the womanfolk (aka Tessa and myself) had stayed at home, thoroughly safe, tucked behind locked doors, when the renegades returned and the obligatory debriefing began. Operation Rendezvous had been completed successfully. In hand, was a beautiful sight of three of Brad's business cards (most likely how they were able to make a point of contact), a factura card, our health insurance card, and, lo and behold, my beloved DRIVER'S LICENSE. While no passport copy or Diner's Club credit card was recovered, the mere sight of that Ecuadorian driver's license was enough to make me giddy. I would not have to, at least at this point, present myself to the transit authority any sooner than the necessary renewal in the fall of 2015. That alone was worth the risk of the reconnaissance mission right there (spoken truly by the one who actually didn't even go).
And that, my friends, is almost the end of the story. No further implications, problems, or outcomes thus far. I continue to remain in full pursuit of small change, seeking to re-attain my small fortune of dollar coins, fifty- cent pieces, and quarters. I am still carrying around the spare purse I happened to have on hand as I have not yet found a new, suitable, clad with iron replacement. I keep the second coin purse with the residual cut on it as a spare…holding less important items, but still playing an essential secondary decoy role. We have a new level of diligence…one that can only come from going through the experience and coming out more knowledgeable on the other side. We don't think any less of the people we meet on a day to day basis. We still ride the trolley, full or not.
Every good story has a lesson, and this is no exception. One of the things we learned from this experience is that no amount of diligence or good intentions can keep bad things from happening. Isn't that an analogy that can be applied by and large to our entire life? If you have read this far, I just ask you stick with me a bit longer. We felt like we were keeping our eyes open, watching for the appropriate clues, grasping purses and reversing backpacks, all to keep the bad guys away. Many of us walk through our life the same way – if only we just do all the right things, say the correct words, help people in need, go to church on Sunday, read our Bible, give our designated tithe, our lives won't be turned upside down. We won't experience job loss, death in the family, grief, despair, depression…those things will bypass us and move to someone else who "deserves" it, or, at least, if we are honest and real, someone who wasn't as prepared and standing a post like us "good" Christians were.
But, that's not how it works. We live in a fallen world. People are sinful and full of evil. It is everywhere and there is no way to make yourself immune to it. Whether you are struck down by cancer and trying to see God's hand in it, a police officer on the streets of Minneapolis being gunned down intentionally, a Christian in Egypt being beheaded in the name of Allah, or on a trolley in Ecuador having your money stolen, (to name but only a few examples) we have to contend with the consequences of being in this world.
As I see it, we have two choices. We can bemoan the fact that this is our reality, wring our hands, cast our eyes downward, and hide out as much as we can to avoid as many chances as we can of being hurt. OR, we can claim the promises of Scripture that tell us that we have a power far beyond ourselves that will stand in the gap to help us, to cling to, to know that this world is not the end, but a temporary place to land before Paradise. We are not doing this alone. Do you claim his promises? Do you trust Him today? Do you cling to him and not your own safety nets that are weak and worldly?
I am saying this as much to myself as I am to you, my friend…know that HE alone is the one who can protect us in this life so there is no need to fear. Venture into each day, boldly, confidently, claiming His promises…but do it with Him by your side. Arm yourself with prayer, Scripture, and the body of believers, believing He has given you the Holy Spirit to stay with us in this life, so we rise victorious, despite the evil in this world.
Be assured of His love for you. Win the battle that has been waged…with Him by your side.

Character analysis – the importance of being earnest (Algernon Moncrief)
Category Importance of Being Earnest
Essay type Character Analysis
Algernon Moncrief in Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest" is quite simply a child at play. Algy, as he's known to his friends, is a young bachelor not yet in his thirties living the aristocratic life of a Victorian gentleman. He has an underdeveloped sense of morality and of the world beyond him. Algy has an excellent skill for wit and as an "Oxonian", his education is also rather noticeable. You might also surmise him to be unhappy if he were eating muffins as if there was no tomorrow, and he doesn't seem fond of sharing his cucumber sandwiches in any case.
He expresses indifference to everything that fails to give him a moment's amusement as he refers to his manservant's short marriage, "I don't know that I am much interested in your family life". Bills would likely pile in his flat in London on Half Moon Street, if he didn't tear them up. Responsibility isn't in his vocabulary, and he certainly doesn't place very much importance on being earnest. John (Jack) Worthing is Algy's best friend and is quite serious about everything that Algy takes for granted.
Although they do share a mutual fondness for a particular past time called "Bunburying" that involves the creation of a fictional double in the form of a brother or friend. The point of which to allow them to easily create excuses to travel as they like. Additionally Algy enjoys using his "Bunbury" character to avoid dinner with his aunt Lady Bracknell. He believes once a week is enough time to spend with relatives. While Jack utilizes his "Bunbury" character, ironically named Earnest, to see Algy's first cousin, Gwendolen Fairfax.

In the first act of the play, Algy was curious about an inscription in a cigarette case that Jack had left behind. The inscription read "From little Cecily, with her fondest love to her dear Uncle Jack". Up to this moment, Algy had only known Jack only by the name Ernest, but now Algy discovers Jack's own "Bunburying". Not seemingly fazed, as Algy seemed more interested in the specifics of the one named Cecily, he continued to question Jack about the case only to discover that Cecily is not Jack's niece, but his ward. Enticed by the thought of this young female ward of Jack's, Algy presses him by expressing his interest.
This results in Jack revealing that Cecily is "excessively pretty" and "only eighteen". Quite determined now, but resolving that he was "not going to be invited" by Jack, he decided to overhear Jack's conversation with Gwendolen. Fortunately for Algy, Jack reveals his country address to Gwendolen. Algy certainly had a scheme in his mind as he was writing down the address on his shirt cuff. Algy is quite a bored person. To avoid boring activities and to broaden his scope of entertainment, he created a fictitious character, Bunbury. As Bunbury, he can escape to the country side or just his aunt's dinners.
Algy also finds entertainment in being witty and appreciating life as an art form. He doesn't avoid scrapes as he "love scrapes". His scheme to see Cecily certainly turns into one, and many things change for him once he does finally meet Cecily. I think it is best summed up by Algy saying "I killed Bunbury this afternoon" when he had just told Jack that "Nothing will induce me to part with Bunbury". After meeting Cecily and falling madly in love with her, he's willing to give up his "freedom". Both he and Jack even resort to scheduling baptisms to correct their lies, and in turn both become earnest.
Algy always seemed quite amused with his own wit, even remarking on one occasion on his statement concerning women and their mothers, "It is perfectly phrased! ". He believed women to become their mothers while men don't become their fathers. He also shows his keen understanding of human behavior when remarking about the music selection for his aunt's dinner, "if one plays good music, people don't listen, and if one plays bad music people don't talk". Along with his wonderful taste in music, he's particularly fond of fashion.
He would "never have any appetite" without "a buttonhole first", and as much of a glutton he is, that's saying a lot. He also comments of the fashion of others or rather the lack thereof such as Jack and how he "has no taste in neckties at all". Another thing Algy knew, was that he loved Cecily and was willing to do anything to marry her. Algy may have fallen in love and forever lost his dear invalid friend, Bunbury, but his interest is fleeting. As well Cecily, for she even states she "hates waiting even five minutes for anybody". I believe it likely for their love to burn brightly and quickly.
A man that could fall in love with a woman in ten minutes and a woman that could love a man just for his name alone is not an ideal match. Although, their mutual whimsy could be that which makes them an ideal match. I would just hope Algy does as his said and forgets how after the proposal "the excitement is all over". Although, technically speaking, Algy never did propose to Cecily as they had been engaged nearly three months before they even met. It is widely believed that Algernon is a representation of Oscar Wilde himself, as both men are rather witty dandies that lead double lives.
While it can be argued whether Algy had truly changed, I'd like to think that he came to the realization "that Bunbury could not live". Algy had finally bumped into someone in that castle in the sky and was sure to provide him with plenty of entertainment as Cecily's imagination seemed to constantly create stories out of thin air. When she told him of their imaginary break up before they even met, Algy was "very much hurt indeed" and found Cecliy's reacceptance of the engagement to make her a "perfect angel".

I have been driving a project which most of the components are run on Azure as PaaS and others as IaaS. Due to a service dependency, we built a point to site vpn to connect our Apps to our Azure VNet, and a site to site vpn to connect our VM's to to our on-premise. So our Apps are able to communicate to our on-premise through the tunnels. Lastly, we defined a custom DNS server ip address which points to one of our dns servers that run on our on-premise.
The custom dns setting inherits the VM's inside the VNet. But not for the App.

Q: Graphing a flower with polar and parametric equations In attempting to answer this interesting but abandoned question, I ran into a strange problem that I've never seen before and have no idea how to resolve.

For some context, the question contains a picture of a flower and asks how one would go about precisely plotting the flower in polar coordinates. The OP mentions in a comment the idea of graphing individual ellipses to match the shape and position of each petal. I thought that was a clever idea, so I started with the equation of an ellipse in rectangular coordinates in complete generality and set to work converting that to polar coordinates:
$$\frac{(x\cos\phi-y\sin\phi-h)^2}{a^2}+\frac{(x\sin\phi+y\cos\phi-k)^2}{b^2}=c^2$$
In this case, $a$ is half the length of the axis lying along the $x$-axis, $b$ is half the length of the axis lying along the $y$-axis, $h$ is the horizontal displacement, $k$ is the vertical displacement, and $\phi$ is the angle of rotation about the origin.
After a bit of work, I came up with the following equation:

(I tried typing it out in MathJax, but it ended up being way too long, going onto multiple lines, and looking like even more of a mess than it already does.)
That equation plots one petal, so I adjusted the values of some of the constants to plot $22$ different petals (the number of petals that the flower in the question has, as far as I could tell). I kept the $a_n$'s constant at $1.3$, the $b_n$'s constant at $0.67$, and the $c_n$'s constant at $1$, but left the possibility for them to be adjusted if the OP ever came back, saw my answer, and wanted to customize the flower still further. Anyway, after doing all that, I obtained the following graph with Desmos:

It's a good start, but it still doesn't look much like a real flower. I realized that if I could only plot the parts of the petals that didn't overlap, it would look much more like the picture. When I started thinking about that, parametric equations seemed like the obvious way to plot only specific pieces of a function. I set about writing $22$ sets of equations of the form
$$\begin{align}
x_n&=r_n\cos\theta \\
y_n&=r_n\sin\theta
\end{align}$$
as suggested by amWhy's answer to this question.
Plotting the center and the first petal worked fine:

($a_1=1.3$, $b_1=0.67$, $c_1=1$, $h_1=2.3$, $k_1=0.05$, $\phi_1=-1.83$, and $-1.0694\le\theta\le4.8008$. The center is just a circle with radius $1.1$.)
Plotting the second petal, well, didn't.

($a_2=1.3$, $b_2=0.67$, $c_2=1$, $h_2=-2.27$, $k_2=-0.27$, $\phi_2=0.85$, and $-0.4431\le\theta\le2.6$.)

Here's where my question comes: what's going on with the second petal? I'd like to be able to graph just the smooth curve connecting the circle and the left side of the first petal, but as you can see, there's a gaping hole in that curve. The lower bound of $t$ is carefully set to line up with the circle, but adjusting the upper bound just closes the gap in the area where I'd like the graph to appear (which is good) without changing the part of the graph that's inside the first petal (which is not good). I can't figure out what's going on mathematically or how to even cheat a little to make it look the way I want.
I guess, in the end, I have four questions:
1. What's going on with the equations of the second petal that's causing two different segments of the graph to appear?
2. Is this just a problem with Desmos?
3. Is there a simple way to fix the bounds of $t$ to graph the second petal the way I'd like?
4. Would it be better to reconsider my entire approach to the parametric part of this endeavor and not use the monstrosity I used to plot the entire petals? If so, what should I do differently?

Also, here's a Desmos graph with my attempts at writing the parametric equations, if you want to change some of the constants and see what happens (I used $t$ instead of $\theta$, because as far as I can tell, that's the only way Desmos will accept parametric equations): https://www.desmos.com/calculator/v9j7h5qks5

Edit:
As you can see from my answer, I solved the last three questions, but my first questions remains. I still have no idea why certain bounds of $t$ would make those parametric equations behave so weirdly, and any insights about that would be greatly appreciated.

A: Funny how this site works sometimes.
I was doing a little research on Desmos for this completely unrelated question when I realized that the method of restricting domain and range I ended up using to answer that question would also work perfectly here. I had to switch to the rectangular versions of the petal equations, but that's a small price to pay.
Just as a quick example, I ended up graphing
$$x^2+y^2=1.21$$
$$\begin{align}
\frac{(x\cos\phi_1-y\sin\phi_1-h_1)^2}{a_1^2}+\frac{(y\cos\phi_1+x\sin\phi_1-k_1)^2}{b_1^2}&=c_1^2\{x\le-0.5\}\{y\ge0.96465\} \\
\frac{(x\cos\phi_1-y\sin\phi_1-h_1)^2}{a_1^2}+\frac{(y\cos\phi_1+x\sin\phi_1-k_1)^2}{b_1^2}&=c_1^2\{x\ge-0.49999\}\{y\ge1.09571\} \\
\frac{(x\cos\phi_2-y\sin\phi_2-h_2)^2}{a_2^2}+\frac{(y\cos\phi_2+x\sin\phi_2-k_2)^2}{b_2^2}&=c_2^2\{x\le-1.29445\} \\
\frac{(x\cos\phi_2-y\sin\phi_2-h_2)^2}{a_2^2}+\frac{(y\cos\phi_2+x\sin\phi_2-k_2)^2}{b_2^2}&=c_2^2\{x\le-0.99377\}\{y\le0.47522\} \\
\frac{(x\cos\phi_2-y\sin\phi_2-h_2)^2}{a_2^2}+\frac{(y\cos\phi_2+x\sin\phi_2-k_2)^2}{b_2^2}&=c_2^2\{x\ge-0.72153\}\{y\ge0.84065\}
\end{align}$$
to obtain the center and the first two petals, and the result looked exactly like what I had hoped for:

I wouldn't even dream of typing out all $40$ equations I ended up graphing, but here's the final result, which looks considerably nicer than what I started with:

And here's the link to the final version, in case anyone's curious.

Kentucky quarterback Mike Hartline looks down field during an Oct. 2, 2010, game against Mississippi in Oxford, Miss. Hartline's quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator at Kentucky thinks he has what it takes to make it in the NFL.
It was just after 10 Tuesday morning when Mike Hartline started wondering about his NFL future.
The former GlenOak High School star quarterback started seeing other undrafted free agents signing with NFL teams a day after the lockout ended.
Within three hours — 12:31 p.m. to be exact — Hartline couldn't believe his good fortune. He was going to sign with the Indianapolis Colts, meaning he has a chance to back up superstar Peyton Manning.
"At first it was pretty shocking," said Hartline, a starter the past three years at the University of Kentucky. "... To get something like this to be offered to you is pretty crazy. It's a guy you've looked up to most of your whole life.
Hartline will get his playbook and equipment today at Colts' training camp, he will go to film sessions and study in a classroom. The business of being a professional football player begins.
The Colts have two returning quarterbacks. Curtis Painter, a 2009 sixth-round pick out of Purdue is the other. They also signed former Ball State quarterback Nate Davis, who has spent two seasons in the NFL.
The 6-foot-6, 210-pound Hartline left Kentucky ranked fourth in career passing yards (5,680) and fifth in career touchdown passes (38). He threw for 3,178 yards last season with 23 TDs and just nine interceptions in 405 attempts.
Hartline hoped to get drafted, but when he didn't, he kept working hard. He made two trips to Florida to work out with his older brother, Brian, a receiver with the Dolphins. Mike wanted to be ready once the lockout ended.
Late Tuesday morning was when Hartline started getting anxious. He was back in Lexington, Ky. after spending time back home. It was about noon when he finally texted his agent, Neil Cornrich, for news.
"He'd just got off the phone with the Colts and said he was talking to them about me and trying to get me there. He called me back in half an hour and by this time, the deal was done.
Soon he was making the 3 1/2-hour trip to Indianapolis to begin his pro career.


Weight of the whole set: 11 grams.
Can be made in rose, yellow or white gold, 14K or 18K gold.
rose gold earrings (on pictures) are ready to ship.
Other gold colours may take about 2 weeks to make.
Comes in elegant black box and are ready to give.
Other gemstones available by request.
Matching jewelry is available by request.

There has been a lot in the news about the increase in the divorce petition fee, which was introduced by the Ministry of Justice in March, and I for one support the calls for it to be rescinded.
The Justice Select Committee has recently published a report calling for the increase, from £410 to £550, to be revoked.
The Ministry of Justice had originally proposed that the fee should be raised to £750 but proceeded with the lower increase in response to a consultation on court fees. The same fee applies to applications for a decree of nullity or, in the context of civil partnership, for a dissolution order or nullity order.
Welcoming the report, Resolution Chair Nigel Shepherd said: "We are pleased to see the Justice Select Committee has listened to Resolution's evidence and recommended the government rescind the recent rise in fees for divorce petitions.
"The committee rightly recognises that this rise effectively amounted to a new tax on divorce; and that by raising it, people were being charged around twice what it actually costs to process a divorce petition.
"At the time the hike was announced, court staff, our members, and the people they help were given only a few days' notice of the new fee. We said then that the government should have waited until this report was published.
"Now that it has, we urge Ministers to listen to the Committee, reverse the fee hike, and reimburse the thousands of people who have been unfairly penalised as a result of the divorce tax."
As Nigel Shepheard pointed out in his response the change in the fee was introduced with less than 24 hours notice which meant we had no opportunity to try to avoid the increase for those clients who were on the verge of issuing proceedings and it was rather embarrassing to have to ask clients for a further payment in order to issue.
Undoubtedly the increased fee is a problem for many clients and very few are exempt from payment which is why I'm backing the calls for it to be annulled. The irony of all of this is that the increased fees come alongside the closure of many local courts presumably with a view to the Chancellors office achieving further costs reductions. All of this makes access to justice very difficult for many.

GOSH Golden Dragon - Polish This!
So this is Golden Dragon and I have three coats here (and BC). This was fully opaque with two coats but I had to do a third one before taking the picture because of the tip wear. And I'm not saying that the wear time with this polish was bad, it really wasn't but I had time to take the pictures after I had had this on for several days and also during that time I had cleaned the house, washed the dog and my self couple times and also typed a lot. So the wear was quite good and after all that I had only minor tip wear, but I did the third coat to cover that up.. Anywho, this is really pretty color, don't you think? It sure is unique imo, I don't have anything like it. It really amazing blue/green with a lot of golden shimmer. Just look at the bottle in the second pic, awesome right?! And the quality in general was good too, so I have no complaints.
I bought the polish from a Finnish store (Sokos).
It is a pretty color, indeed!
I love the color, looks a bit like an essence I own.


Levodopa - carbidopa - entacapone is a combination medication that is used to treat Parkinson's disease. Levodopa helps to control the symptoms of Parkinson's disease by correcting the chemical imbalance in the brain that produces symptoms.
Levodopa can be used alone, but adding carbidopa lowers the amount of levodopa that is needed and may reduce some of the side effects (such as nausea and vomiting) that are associated with levodopa. When entacapone is added to levodopa and carbidopa, it slows the speed at which the body breaks down levodopa. This results in more constant amounts of levodopa in the body, reducing the "wearing off" effect that some people experience.
This combination medication is used to replace immediate-release levodopa - carbidopa when the person is experiencing the end-of-dose "wearing off," or as a replacement for levodopa - carbidopa and entacapone being taken separately.
The daily dose of levodopa - carbidopa - entacapone tablets is based on how well the medication reduces the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, and how the side effects are tolerated. The dose of levodopa - carbidopa that a person is taking before starting this medication is the starting dose for this combination product.
This medication can be taken with or without food. Swallow the tablets whole. Do not crush or chew the tablets.
It is important to take this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is less than one hour until your next dose, take the missed dose, wait one hour and then take the next dose. Afterwards, continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
Each brownish- or greyish-red, round, convex, unscored, film-coated tablet, marked with "LCE 50" on one side, contains levodopa 50 mg, carbidopa 12.5 mg, and entacapone 200 mg. Nonmedicinal ingredients: croscarmellose sodium, glycerol 85%, hypromellose, magnesium stearate, maize starch, mannitol, polysorbate 80, povidone, red iron oxide, sucrose, titanium dioxide, and yellow iron oxide.
Each light brownish red, oval-shaped, unscored, film-coated tablet, marked with "LCE 75" on one side, contains levodopa 75 mg, carbidopa 18.75 mg, and entacapone 200 mg.

Behavioural and mood changes: This medication has been known to cause mood swings, changes in behaviour and symptoms of depression. If you have depression or a history of depression, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed. You may notice compulsive behaviour, such as gambling, increased sexual activity or inappropriate spending. If you experience symptoms of depression such as poor concentration, changes in weight, changes in sleep, decreased interest in activities, contact your doctor as soon as possible. If you notice compulsive behaviour or signs of depression in a family member, ensure that they see their doctor.
Bleeding: Carbamazepine may cause a reduced number of platelets in the blood, which can make it difficult to stop cuts from bleeding. If you notice any signs of bleeding, such as frequent nosebleeds, unexplained bruising, or black and tarry stools, notify your doctor as soon as possible. Your doctor will order routine blood tests to make sure potential problems are caught early.
Diarrhea: Diarrhea is a common side effect of this medication. It may appear as early as the first week of starting treatment or many months after starting treatment. For some people, the diarrhea causes weight loss. If you notice any weight loss or have excessive diarrhea, contact your doctor.
Drowsiness/reduced alertness: This medication may cause low blood pressure or dizziness and lightheadedness when rising from a lying or sitting position. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how this medication affects you.
Glaucoma: This medication may cause symptoms of glaucoma to get worse by increasing the pressure in the eye. If you have chronic wide-angle glaucoma, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Heart disease: If you have heart disease (e.g., history of heart attack, arrhythmia), discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Infection: This medication has been reported to reduce the number of cells that fight infection in the body (white blood cells). If possible, avoid contact with people with contagious infections. Tell your doctor immediately if you notice signs of an infection, such as fever or chills, severe diarrhea, shortness of breath, prolonged dizziness, headache, stiff neck, weight loss, or listlessness. Your doctor will do blood tests regularly to monitor the number of specific types of blood cells in your blood.
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS): Very rarely, levodopa - carbidopa - entacapone can cause a potentially fatal syndrome known as neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS). If you notice the symptoms of NMS such as high fever, muscle stiffness, confusion or loss of consciousness, sweating, racing or irregular heartbeat, or fainting, get immediate medical attention.
Peptic (stomach) ulcer: There is a possibility of stomach bleeding for people with a history of peptic ulcer who take levodopa - carbidopa - entacapone. If you have peptic ulcers or a history of peptic ulcers, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed. If you notice bloody or black tarry stools, stomach pain, vomiting blood or material that looks like coffee grounds, contact your doctor immediately.
Prostate cancer: Men who take this medication may have a slightly higher risk of developing prostate cancer. It is not known if this increased risk is due to o the medication or some other factor. While taking this medication, it is important for men to keep appointments for regular prostate cancer screening. Talk to your doctor if you have any concerns.
Rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown): Occasionally, this medication may cause rapid breakdown of muscle tissue. If you notice signs of muscle weakness or pain, high body temperature, unexpected bruising, confusion, or difficulty passing urine, contact your doctor immediately.
Seizures: If you have seizures or a history of seizures, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Stopping this medication: Stopping this medication too quickly can cause potentially life-threatening side effects. Before stopping this medication, discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor. Do not stop taking this medication until you have spoken with your doctor first.
Sudden onset of sleep: There are reports of people who take levodopa - carbidopa - entacapone combinations falling asleep with no warning or drowsiness. If you have a sleep disorder, discuss this with your doctor. If you experience drowsiness while taking this medication, avoid driving or using machinery.
Breast feeding: Levodopa passes into breast milk. It is not known if carbidopa or entacapone pass into breast milk. If you are a breast-feeding mother and are taking levodopa - carbidopa - entacapone, it may affect your baby. Talk to your doctor about whether you should continue breast-feeding.

Samsung Galaxy S11 could have a redesigned rear camera setup
Samsung Galaxy S11 leaked renders show a redesigned rear camera setup and a reposition punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera
Updated December 28, 2019 21:23 +08
Top 3 premium smartphones to buy in 2019
The Samsung Galaxy S11 is still a couple of months away from being a real thing, but that's not stopping the leaks. The latest leak shows render of the upcoming Galaxy S11 smartphone and reveal its design. This is the first official-looking renders that have been posted online. The phone looks similar to the Galaxy Note 10 from the front, but the rear is a whole different story.
Samsung's latest Galaxy Note 10 series of smartphones have a vertically aligned camera setup, a departure from the design that we saw in the Galaxy S10 and Note 9 devices. Now, the South Korean manufacturer seems to be changing that design once again. The leaked renders reveal that the Galaxy S11 could feature a rectangular camera setup at the back, which looks similar to what we've seen on the Google Pixel 4 and the iPhone 11 series.
91mobiles and @OnLeaks
The Galaxy S11 will be the first new flagship for the year 2020 and Samsung will launch it in three variants. You can expect the Galaxy S11e, the standard S11, and the S11+. The S11e and the S11 are said to the available in 4G as well as 5G options, but the S11+ would be 5G only. The renders you're seeing are thanks to a collaboration between 91mobiles and prominent phone leaker @OnLeaks.
As seen in the renders, the front of the phone has a hole-punch cutout for the camera, which is placed at the top centre. The display on the phone won't be as curvy as the Galaxy S10 models, but the bezels are going to be thinner. The renders also show that the power and volume buttons are placed on the right side of the device. A USB Type-C port is seen on the bottom, along with the speakers and microphone.
The new camera setup on the back seems to have around 5 sensors in total, excluding the flash module. There are no details regarding the sensors, but you can expect a similar setup as the Galaxy Note 10+. The phone is expected to feature a 108-megapixel primary sensor. It will also have an in-display fingerprint scanner, Snapdragon 865 chipset, and a high refresh rate display.

Pare visited dozens of Modernist sites in Russia and the former Soviet Union—factories, industrial plants, government offices, housing complexes, workers' clubs. "Just after the Soviet collapse, access was pretty easy," he says. "Nobody knew who was in charge. Things like the clubs you could just walk into. I tried to look like I knew what I was doing and where I was going, and I would just march in for as long as I could before they'd throw me out. But as the new economy settled in, a lot of the old bureaucrats got behind the desk again and began exercising a very Soviet kind of bureaucracy, preventing access." Fortunately, he met Pavel Khoroshilov, deputy minister of culture and a photography collector, who owned one of Pare's previous books and helped open doors.
The photographer has created a compelling and historically important volume, and next month the Museum of Modern Art will present a companion exhibition of selected photographs from The Lost Vanguard. There are 74 structures in the book—buildings by Erich Mendelsohn, Le Corbusier, and Konstanin Melnikov (including his iconic, and threatened, house in Moscow)—making a strong visual case for the connection of Russian Modernism to the International movement. Pare smartly included buildings whose completion dates overlapped with the onset of Stalinism, so a curious crossbreeding of Modernism and state-sanctioned classicism is evident. "The idea was to show the seeds of what was coming next," he says.
Richard Pare's new book, The Lost Vanguard, is actually a testament to the unique, almost indispensable role that the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) plays in architecture culture. Who else but Phyllis Lambert and the CCA would fund a project dedicated to unearthing the lost history of Soviet modernism? Many organizations might enthusiastically show the results of such an undertaking—as MoMA will next month with an exhibition based on the book—but few would have the resources or inclination to make that initial leap of faith. Earlier this spring I spoke to Pare, a photography curator at the CCA for many years, about the new book, how he found the buildings in it, their chances for survival in oil-rich Russia, and the nascent modern preservation movement there.
How did you determine the time frame for the book, 1922 to 1932?
The Shabolovka Radio Tower [it appears on the cover of the book] is completed in 1922. It began in 1919. As a structure, it's like the herald of the revolution. And before that, immediately after the revolution, there was so much chaos, then World War I, the civil war, and all were compounded by the collapse of the economy. No one could build anything. So the radio tower is the first major structure erected after the revolution. Stalin hands down his fiat in 1932 and dissolves all the clubs and organizations and brings them all together under the single organization of the House of Architects, which was to enforce the use of the heavy handed Stalinist classicism as the state sanctioned style.
In what ways was the Soviet architecture from this period unique?
It had an energy and vigor that is distinct from its European counterparts. With the untrained labor that the architects had at their disposal, it never had the kind of finesse in the details of the European Modernists. There are no Miesian details in the Russian avant-garde, because it was so experimental. Materials were also incredibly scarce. Though the vocabulary is modern, much of the construction follows methods that had been in use for centuries.
How many buildings from this period are we talking about?
It's a lot more than people think. The problem is that a lot of it has been so modified and corrupted over the years. Some of them had the façades totally rebuilt in a Stalinist vocabulary. Then you go into the courtyard and it's still a very modernist. There is a lot of housing in places like the Armenikend district, but it's now very tumble down. Everybody has filled in the balconies, often with discarded bus windows, so it's difficult to find a salient point of view that gives a clear enough idea of the original intentions.
Occasionally I would find things that nobody knew existed, like the Baku Theatre by Leonid Vesnin, the white one with the towers on either side. That's barely known. There is a lot of stuff that we had to find, because there were often no street addresses in the journals or publications where we found the listings. So we would drive around and I just developed a nose for which direction to go in—slightly away from the center usually. It also helps to look at the main thoroughfares and work out when those roads were built. You can sort of feel it by the way the city was likely to spread.
In documenting these buildings, did you feel you were engaged in a race against time?
I was terrified that things like Narcomfin were going to be ripped down because they were such in bad condition. The density of inhabitants on the site is very low for today's real estate values in Moscow. It is adjacent to the American embassy and has to be one of the most valuable plots in the whole city. At the time of construction it was considered high-density housing, now it's very low density, so it's threatened. The present condition is absolutely appalling. It is one of the great buildings of the century, in any country, and every effort should be exerted to secure its future.
What's the current status of the Melnikov House?
It's beginning to seem as though it's secure. The son, Victor, who died last year, made half of the house a conditional gift to the state. He devoted his life to saving this extraordinary house, which became his mausoleum in a way. There's a new Russian Avant-Garde Foundation that owns the other half of the house. They have acquired at least one of the other social clubs as well. I understand that they're proposing to use the Burvesnick club as the foundation headquarters.
Moscow is a boom town right now. What chance do these other buildings have of surviving?
Slender. A lot of these modernist buildings are a bit away from the city center, but even so the pressure is intense on any land in Moscow. The Melnikov House occupies a small plot in the Arbat, only a few hundred yards away from Pushkin's house, which is now across the street from McDonald's. This suggests the commercial pressures on the land. I think the Melnikov house is in a slightly better situation than it was a year ago. But its future is still a matter for great concern.
What's the preservation movement in Russia like today?
It's really in infancy. The first symposium on the conservation of modernism was in Moscow last April. It got token support from the city. They had a reception for the participants but there was no one present from the city. There was this huge room with boards groaning with food and vodka, but there was no welcoming introduction, nothing. They just opened the doors and everybody walked in, so it was a very passive support, shall we say. That was when the first show of the pictures went up. Jean Louis Cohen called me and asked me if I knew about the symposium.
Clearly Cohen has been instrumental in helping the preservation movement in Russia.
He's certainly involved with all the major players. He knows all the people involved in architectural history in Moscow. The other person who's taking a wider view of preservation is Clementine Sessel, who is director of relatively new organization, the Moscow Architectural Preservation Society (MAPS). She's making as much noise as she can. Jean-Louis calls her the "La Passionaria for preservation." She's British, lives in London, but visits Moscow often. The World Monuments Fund was there for the symposium. They've registered the Melnikov house and the Rusakov club. They've considered adding the Textile Institute, because that's another severely threatened masterpiece.
Did you meet many contemporary Russian architects during your visits?
Quite a few: Evgeny Asse, Yuri Avvakumov, Alexander Brodsky, Oleg Kozinsky, Natalia Dushkina. Nobody has built anything much yet because they were coming of age during a period when it was impossible to build. Now, it's still impossible to build unless it falls into the category of speculative construction. Nearly all the stuff that's going up is brassier than Trump.
So what are their lives like?
Evgeny Asse teaches, but not to support himself. It's more of a pro bono thing. The salaries are ridiculous. They have to practice to support themselves but they teach on the side because they enjoy it and feel a commitment towards the students. Sasha's projects tend to be smaller ones: houses, apartment renovations, office interiors, clubs, dining places. That's his vocabulary. Still the present generation is gathering momentum. Sasha is highly regarded. He's got such an amazing imagination: a wonderful connection between nostalgia for the past and hope for the future. A contemporary vocabulary rooted in history.
Will there be second book on this theme?
It's possible to do an addendum. If I'm able to continue the work, it would be a slimmer companion volume. I've got plenty of material that I'd like to go back and revisit. The archive is 10,000 negatives, plenty more than the 73 projects in the book.

This heirloom variety produces bright red round beets with maroon tinged leaves. The beets are smooth and very sweet. This early variety produces well in poor soils and the beets can be crowded. Plant close together and thin when the beet is about an inch or two in diameter. 52 days.
WHEN TO PLANT: 4 weeks before first frost free date.
RAISED BED PLANTING GUIDE: After thinning, plants should be 3-4" apart throughout bed.
SOIL TYPE RECOMMENDED: Beets do well in almost any soil. A sandy, well drained soil with plenty of compost promotes large roots and rapid growth. Hard, clay soil is difficult for almost all root crops.
NOTE: Soak seed for 12 hours before planting. May be started in hotbeds before transplanting to garden.
TUCSON PLANTING INFORMATION: Seed may be planted from August 25 to April 1. Consecutive plantings insure fresh beets and greens for much of the year.

Nobody Is Going to Save Us From a Recession
Not the president. Not Congress. And definitely not the Federal Reserve.
By Jordan Weissmann
Chair Jerome Powell at the Federal Reserve in Washington on Wednesday. Olivier Douliery/AFP via Getty Images
There's a growing sense that the United States is on course for a recession. The bad economic vibes are manifesting in everything from plunging stock prices to dour professional forecasts to business sections where financial advice columnists have already started doling out helpful tips on how to ride out an "inevitable" downturn.
Things might not actually be that hopeless. But as of this week, one thing seems pretty clear: If the economy does tip over a cliff, nobody in Washington is going to swoop in to stop its fall.
The economic challenges facing the U.S. are all pretty plain to see. Inflation is still on a tear—the consumer price index is up 8.6 percent over the last year, rising at its fastest pace since 1981—and the Federal Reserve is scrambling to control it by aggressively hiking interest rates in order to cool down consumer demand. Many are worried that the central bank's effort will end up pushing the country into a slump. There are already some signs of a slowdown, such as a slight fall in retail sales and a cooling housing market.
Making matters worse, Russia's war in Ukraine has sent the price of gasoline up past $5 a gallon. That's been an economic double whammy, hitting households in the pocketbook while putting pressure on the Fed to act more aggressively, since it's a major part of the inflation we're seeing.
Together, these factors are setting off alarms on Wall Street and beyond. Bloomberg Economics, for instance, is now predicting a 3-in-4 chance of recession by 2024.
There's also a straightforward case for optimism. Namely: The economy isn't actually in a ditch yet. While it's showing signs of fatigue, consumer spending and job growth are still strong. If inflation begins to resolve, and the Fed can step off the brakes, then we might avoid a contraction.
But let's say the economy really does slide. In that case, don't expect anyone in power to do much about it.
For starters, the Biden administration simply doesn't have a lot of tools it can use to arrest a downturn on its own. To do anything significant, it would need Congress, which likely won't be in the mood to do much if Republicans win control in November's midterms. Even if Democrats do by some miracle hold on to power and the current legislative dynamic remains about the same, it's not clear that Sen. Joe Manchin would be up for any kind of stimulus package, given his often-stated concerns about inflation and the deficit.
And that leaves the Fed, whose efforts to squelch inflation are at the center of everyone's recession fears. For much of this year, the central bank's leaders confidently predicted that they could achieve a so-called soft landing—bringing consumer prices under control without causing a major slowdown in the economy. But lately, their tone has changed.
On Wednesday, the central bank raised its key interest rate by 0.75 percentage points, its biggest single hike since 1994. In their economic projections accompanying the decision, members of the rate-setting committee lowered their forecasts for growth and predicted a moderate rise in unemployment over the next couple of years. At his press conference following the announcement, Fed Chair Jerome Powell told reporters that he and his colleagues were "not trying to induce a recession now" in order to bring down inflation, but that the path to getting prices under control without one had "become much more challenging due to factors that are not under our control," such as the war in Ukraine and supply chain issues. He also stressed that the Fed is only projecting that unemployment will rise to 4.1 percent by 2024, low by historic standards.
At the same time, Powell made clear that the Fed's top goal was to defeat inflation. In his opening statement, he gravely explained that the central bank was "strongly committed" to bringing inflation back down to its 2 percent target rate. Later, he said that "the worst mistake we could make would be to fail," which is "not an option."
"You know, we have to restore price stability," Powell added. "We really do, because everything—it's the bedrock of the economy. If you don't have price stability, the economy is really not going to work the way it's supposed to. It won't work for people."
Though Powell didn't say it word for word, it wasn't hard to read the chair's basic message between the lines: The Fed isn't aiming to create a recession, but it will probably tolerate one if that's what it takes to get inflation in check. Unless the consumer price index slows its roll, we certainly shouldn't expect it to back off on rate hikes even if the economy starts to look soft. Fed Governor Chris Waller summed up the new attitude during a speech in May: "I cannot emphasize enough that my FOMC colleagues and I are united in our commitment to do what it takes to bring inflation down and achieve the Fed's 2 percent target." (In central banking, the words "do what it takes" are typically code for "seriously, we really are pulling out all the stops here, even if it's unpopular.")

One Thing People Will Still Splurge on When They Move to the 'Burbs
This is more or less a return to old form for the Fed. In 1979, then-Chair Paul Volcker famously told Congress that in order to slay that era's high inflation, "the standard of living of the average American has to decline." He and his colleagues then engineered a severe double-dip recession that sent unemployment north of 10 percent, but seemed to get prices in line. Powell and co., who've been much more willing than past Fed boards to tolerate some inflation in order to foster a strong job market, aren't quite embracing Volcker-esque extremes. But they are expressing more or less the same priorities: inflation first, everything else second.
It's possible that's the right decision. Americans are, after all, pretty furious about inflation, and seemingly would like somebody to do something about it. (Though, that being said, monetary policy can't do much about gas prices, which seem to be the main frustration point for voters.) Moreover, Fed's great fear at the moment is that if inflation continues at its current rate, people and businesses will start to expect prices to keep rising in the future, and a self-fulfilling cycle will take hold. It's attempting to stop that from happening by showing it's willing to take dramatic action now, even if it comes at an economic cost. By showing determination now, the hope is that officials will have to do less tightening in the future, and maybe spare the economy some pain.
But for now, everyone should realize that if unemployment is in peril of shooting up, nobody's riding to the rescue.
