Ford commences production of 1.5L EcoBoost in Romania
24/04/2013 - 14:05 | Ford | Surendhar M
At the Auto Shanghai 2013 show, Ford showed up with the Chinese market's exclusive flagship sedan, the Mondeo. The introduction of 1.5 litre EcoBoost engine came along with it. And now, the newest EcoBoost engine has entered production in Ford's plant in Craiova, Romania.
The fifth member of the EcoBoost family will be assembled worldwide by the end of this year contributing to Ford's plan of producing 1.6 million EcoBoost engines every year. It will power several models in Ford's portfolio, including the European Mondeo and North American Fusion.
It will be manufactured alongside the brilliant 1.0 liter three-pot EcoBoost engine that won heaps of awards worldwide including the 2012 Engine of the Year. The 1.5L is claimed to be 20% more frugal and a 15% cleaner than the relatively old 1.6L EcoBoost, according to Ford. It also features the technologies from 1.0 litre EcoBoost unit like integrated exhaust manifold, twin overhead camshafts, computer-controlled clutch on water pump's belt drive, etc, to boost efficiency.
It is a direct-injected, four cylinder, 16V petrol engine with a turbocharger. It comprises Twin VCT (variable cam timing) technology with compression ratio of 10.22:1. The new engine will be able to produce a total power output of 180hp and a peak torque figure of 240Nm while meeting the Euro 6 emission standards.
To meet the increasing demand for fuel efficient engines, Ford's Bridgend plant in Wales has seen investment of £24m recently, saving jobs of few thousand people. Ford says it has sold over 600,000 vehicles with EcoBoost engines since its introduction in 2009. But in India it's a pitiful fact that the EcoSport is taking awful much of time to make its debut despite having immense potential.

India's 32-Percent Solution to Subsidy Addiction
N&V Staff
(Chuck Muth) – When you take away an addict's drug of choice, painful withdrawal symptoms naturally follow. Thus is the case with refiners in India after that nation's Ministry of Agriculture cut sugar export subsidies by 32 percent last week.
According to a report in Business-Standard.com, the Indian sugar market "is currently facing over-supply of 5 million tonnes of which the government allowed 2 million tonnes of exports this year."
However, the 32 percent cut in the government subsidy has the Indian Sugar Mills Association (ISMA) crying foul, claiming the cut "without any notice or any ground" violates law and "has created massive confusion in the market and a sense of betrayal amongst the millers of the country."
Tamil Nadu, president of the ISMA, told the Hindu Business Line that "the government's decision to reduce the sugar export subsidy was "shocking" and would make exports "unviable. He added that the decision would push sugar mills "into deep distress" in the face of the large existing sugar surplus.
Bravo to India's government for taking this step in the right direction despite the heat from those who have come to rely on what is essentially market-distorting welfare. The next step should be to eliminate the export subsidies completely.
Indeed, if other nations would follow India's lead and zero out not only their export subsidies, but production and refining subsidies as well, then the U.S. could zero out its own sugar program of tariffs and import quotas.
Zero for zero.
Just as Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Florida) has proposed in HCR 39 "expressing the sense of Congress that all direct and indirect subsidies that benefit the production or export of sugar by all major sugar producing and consuming countries should be eliminated."
Or as Seton Motley of Less Government put it, "You get rid of your trade barriers, and we'll get rid of ours."
"It won't be easy to get an agreement through the World Trade Organization process," writes Tom Giovanetti of the Institute for Policy Innovation, "and the United States itself will have to make some politically painful concessions, but such is the nature of trade agreements."
With India's decision last week, maybe now is a good time to Congress to take a closer look at Rep. Yoho's proposal.

Most front hubs are variations of the same basic concept, but I would probably use a TNT front, or weight were a real important feature the Hershey naked.
Shimano LX Parallax front if you like Black and add a few dollars to buy the XT if you want Silver. The LX is a good value in a production front hub.
Though I wasn't able to include it yet in my reviews, I think the Machine Tech Power Claw rear hub is an astonishing work of art, and it is my pick as best rear hub regardless of price.


If you use Google's two-step authentication system to protect your Google accounts, you could accidentally get locked out. It's one of the biggest risks of two-factor authentication. And if you can't get a mobile signal, then you can't get the needed SMS messages in time.
The better question is WHY AREN'T you using two-step authentication anywhere it's offered?

by Dawn Schmidt 10/31/2021 11/01/2021

It's Christmas Eve in the Douglas home in Brooklyn, New York. With his wife stuck in Vermont during a snowstorm, Tom and his daughter Beth welcome their quirky relatives for their annual Christmas Eve dinner.
It's Christmas Eve in the Douglas home in Brooklyn, New York. With his wife stuck in Vermont during a snowstorm, Tom and his daughter Beth welcome their quirky relatives for their annual Christmas Eve dinner. After robbing a neighborhood liquor store, high strung and irritable Tony, and his dim-witted sidekick Vinny, find themselves in need of a place to briefly hide out. Using a ruse to gain entrance into the Douglas home, they suddenly find themselves in charge of an ever-growing group of family members and neighbors that they are forced to hold hostage. As the number of zany hostages continues to grow, the question quickly becomes, "who is holding whom hostage?" This is a holiday gem that will keep you in stitches for days!

NBFCs raise over Rs 42,000 crore via ultra-short-term CPs in one week to finance IPOs
NBFCs have raised Rs 42,340 crore in the last one week having a value date of December 3 and December 6, according to the data from IDBI Capital Markets and Securities.

Debt fund arrangers said most companies have raised funds to finance IPOs of Anand Rathi and Tega Industries. (Representational image)
Non-banking finance companies (NBFC) raised more than Rs 42,000 crore in the last one week through ultra-short-term debt commercial papers to fund High Networth Individuals (HNIs) for subscription in the ongoing initial public offerings (IPOs) of the companies.
NBFCs have raised Rs 42,340 crore in the last one week having a value date of December 3 and December 6, according to the data from IDBI Capital Markets and Securities. The value date is the date on which the exchange of papers and money takes place between issuers and investors. Bajaj Finance, Aditya Birla Finance, JM Financial Properties and Holdings, JM Financial Products and JM Financial Capital among others are large fundraisers through these instruments in the last one week.
Debt fund arrangers said most companies have raised funds to finance IPOs of Anand Rathi and Tega Industries. "With a bit normalcy returning and buoyancy in the general market, credit off-take at NBFC is evident and we see a lot of NBFC out there to raise resources to cater this demand," said Ajay Manglunia, MD and Head Institutional Fixed Income at JM Financial.
Rates on these papers is almost 65 basis points higher than the rates offered on the papers maturing in three months. Usually, ultra-short-term debt papers trade higher than the normal three-month CPs. Currently, rates on the papers issued by these companies are hovering between 4.25% and 4.95%, across ratings.
Market participants expect rates on CPs to increase after the Reserve Bank of India's monetary policy as it is widely expected that it will announce liquidity tightening measures. Additionally, market players are waiting clarity on the economic growth.
Given the uncertainties associated with the scale of economic recovery, CARE Ratings expects RBI to maintain its growth focus and continue with the accommodative monetary policy stance even as it moves towards gradual normalisation. Surplus liquidity would be managed in a calibrated manner through the conduct of VRRR auctions for varying tenors and higher quantum.

LA Times Crossword 8 Jun 22, Wednesday
Constructed by: Hoang-Kim Vu & Wendy L. Brandes
Edited by: Patti Varol
Today's Theme (according to Bill): More than Elementary
Themed answers comprise a word referenced in the clue, and a chemical element. Clever puzzle …
17A There's an element of doubt to it? : WAFFLE IRON
23A There's an element of romance to it? : CARBON DATING
53A There's an element of mystery to it? : SILVER SCREEN
64A There's an element of humor to it? : COMEDY GOLD
16 Corned beef __ : HASH
Hash, beef and vegetables mashed together, is a very American dish and one that really surprised me when I first came across it. "Hash" just seems like such an unappetizing item, but I soon found out how delicious it was. The name "hash" in this context comes from the French "hacher" meaning "to chop". Back in the early 1900s the dish called "hashed browned potatoes" was developed, which quickly morphed into "hash browns". From there the likes of corned beef hash was introduced.
17 There's an element of doubt to it? : WAFFLE IRON
Waffle irons have been around since the 1300s, in the Low Countries. The original version comprised two iron plates connected by a hinge, and two wooden handles. The plates were often cast with a pattern that left an image on the waffle. The waffles were baked in the iron over a fire in a hearth.
20 Prosecco kin : ASTI
Prosecco still and sparkling wines are named for the village of Prosecco in the province of Trieste in northeastern Italy.
21 Start to matter? : ANTI-
In the world of particle physics, antimatter is made up of particles that have the same mass as particles of ordinary matter, but with the opposite charge and quantum spin. Mixing matter and antimatter causes the annihilation of both, with a release of energy equal to the mass of the particles according to Einstein's equation E=mc².
23 There's an element of romance to it? : CARBON DATING
Carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope of carbon that is found in nature in small amounts. Carbon-14 is used in the technique known as radiocarbon dating, a relatively accurate way of determining the age of something up to about 60,000 years old. When an organism is alive, the amount of radioactive carbon-14 it has compared to the amount of regular carbon-12, is a fixed ratio. After the organism dies, it is no longer exchanging carbon with the atmosphere through metabolism. So, the stable carbon-12 stays in the body as it rots but the radioactive carbon-14 gradually decays, causing the ratio of carbon-14 to carbon-12 to fall. Scientists can determine the age of remains by measuring this carbon-14/carbon-12 ratio.
29 Carving of a Polynesian god : TIKI
A tiki is a large carving of wood or stone resembling a human form that is found in Polynesian cultures. The carvings often mark out boundaries surrounding sites that are sacred to the locals.
30 "Hips Don't __": Shakira hit : LIE
Shakira's 2006 song "Hips Don't Lie" broke a record soon after it was released. It became the most-played pop song in a single week in the history of American radio.
33 Nana alternative : MEEMAW
"Nana" and "Meemaw" are familiar terms meaning "grandma".
39 Keebler baker : ELF
The famous Keebler Elves have been appearing in ads for Keebler since 1968. The original head of the elves was J. J. Keebler, but he was toppled from power by Ernest J. Keebler in 1970. The Keebler Elves bake their cookies in the Hollow Tree Factory.
41 Gazpacho, por ejemplo : SOPA
Gazpacho is a cold soup made from vegetables in a tomato base. It originated in Andalusia in southern Spain.
42 Fla. coastal city : ST PETE
Saint Petersburg, Florida is often referred to as "St. Pete" by locals and visitors alike. Located on a peninsula lying between Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, St. Pete was founded in 1888 and named for Saint Petersburg in Russia. The co-founders were Russian immigrant Peter Demens and Detroit native John C. Williams. The pair tossed a coin for the privilege of naming the new city, and Demens won. Williams lost, but did get to name the city's first hostelry "The Detroit Hotel".
45 "The Daily Show" correspondent Lydic : DESI
Comedian and actress Desi Lydic is perhaps best known as a correspondent on "The Daily Show with Trevor Noah", a gig that she signed up for in 2015.
49 __ Bradley bags : VERA
Vera Bradley is a manufacturer of fashionable patterned bags. The company was founded in 1982 by Barbara Bradley Baekgaard and Patricia Miller. The pair noticed that there was a dearth of feminine-looking luggage, as they passed through Atlanta Airport. So, they started their company to fill that demand. The company was named for Vera Bradley, Baekgaard's mother.
53 There's an element of mystery to it? : SILVER SCREEN
The screen on which one projects a movie is often referred to as a silver screen. The term "silver screen" has evolved to describe the film industry in general. The original silver screen was invented in the early days of motion pictures by a projectionist named Harry Coulter Williams. It comprises a tightly woven fabric on which was applied a silver layer (hence the name). The silvery surface provided a brighter picture from all viewing angles.
63 Walkman descendant : IPOD
Walkman is a brand of portable audio and video products manufactured by Sony. The first Walkman was introduced in 1979 and popularized the practice of carrying music around and listening through lightweight headphones.
67 Father of Eros : ARES
The Greek god Ares is often referred to as the Olympian god of warfare, but originally he was regarded as the god of bloodlust and slaughter. Ares united with Aphrodite to create several gods, including Phobos (Fear), Deimos (Terror) and Eros (Desire). Ares was the son of Zeus and Hera, and the Roman equivalent to Ares was Mars.
68 Shoyu flavor : UMAMI
Umami is one of the five basic tastes, along with sweet, sour, bitter and salty. "Umami" is a Japanese word used to describe "a pleasant savory taste". Umami was proposed as a basic taste in 1908, but it wasn't until the mid-1990s that the scientific community finally accepted it as such.
Soy sauce is made by fermenting soybeans with a mold in the presence of water and salt. It is referred to as "shoyu" in Japan.
71 Analyze grammatically : PARSE
The verb "to parse" means "to state the parts of speech in a sentence". "Parse" comes from the Latin word "pars" meaning "part".
1 Dancer/YouTube star JoJo __ : SIWA
Joelle Joanie "JoJo" Siwa is a dancer and YouTube star. I move in the wrong circles, and so haven't heard of her. I guess that's my bad, because she made it into "Time" magazine's 2020 list of the 100 most influential people in the world …
2 Reddit Q&A sessions : AMAS
Reddit.com is a networking and news website that started up in 2005. It is essentially a bulletin board system with posts that are voted up and down by users, which determines the ranking of posts. The name "Reddit" is a play on "read it", as in "I read it on Reddit". One popular feature of the Reddit site is an online forum that is similar to a press conference. Known as an AMA (for "ask me anything"), participants have included the likes of President Barack Obama, Madonna, Bill Gates, Stephen Colbert and Gordon Ramsay. President Obama's AMA was so popular that the high level of traffic brought down many parts of the Reddit site.
3 Ann Taylor __ : LOFT
The owners of the Ann Taylor chain of clothing stores established the Ann Taylor Loft chain of stores as an extension to their brand. The original stores offered women's clothing considered suitable for the workplace. Ann Taylor Loft offers clothing that is lower priced, and more relaxed in style.
There was no actual person named "Ann Taylor" associated with the Ann Taylor line of clothes. The name was chosen by the marketing professionals because "Ann" was considered to be "very New England" back in 1954 when the stores first opened, and "Taylor" suggested that clothes were carefully "tailored".
4 One end of some commutes : OFFICE
Our verb "to commute", meaning "to go back and forth to work", ultimately derives from the Latin "commutare", meaning "to often change". Back in the late 1800s, a "commutation ticket" was a season pass, so named because it allowed one to "change" one kind of payment into another. Quite interesting …
5 Org. with Giants and Titans : NFL
The New York Giants (NYG) football team plays home games in MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, a stadium shared with the New York Jets (NYJ). The Giants are the only team remaining from a group of five that joined the league in 1925. For many years, the Giants shared team names with the New York Giants MLB team, before the baseball franchise moved to San Francisco after the 1957 season.
The Tennessee Titans are a football team based in Nashville. The team relocated to Nashville from Houston in 1997. They were called the Tennessee Oilers for two seasons, before adopting the "Titans" moniker.
6 Tibia : SHINBONE
The tibia is the shinbone, and is the larger of the two bones right below the knee. It is the strongest weight-bearing bone in the human body. "Tibia" is the Roman name for a Greek flute and it is thought that the shinbone was given the same name because flutes were often fashioned out of the shinbones of animals.
7 Coastal city on the Iberian Peninsula : PORTO
Portugal's city of Oporto ("Porto" in Portuguese) gave its name to port wine in the late 1600s. Oporto was the seaport through which most of the region's fortified red wine was exported.
The Iberian Peninsula in Europe is largely made up of Spain and Portugal. However, also included is the Principality of Andorra in the Pyrénées, a small part of the south of France, and the British Territory of Gibraltar. Iberia takes its name from the Ebro, the longest river in Spain, which the Romans named the "Iber".
9 Uniform number for Sue Bird : TEN
WNBA player Sue Bird is one of only two basketball players, male or female, to have won five Olympic gold medals. The other is fellow WNBA star Diana Taurasi. Bird became engaged to US soccer phenom Megan Rapinoe in 2020.
11 Location of Hoan Kiem Lake : HANOI
Hoan Kiem Lake is located in the center of the Vietnamese capital city Hanoi. The lake's name translates as "Lake of the Returned Sword". Legend has it that Emperor Le Loi returned a magic sword to the Golden Turtle God after using it to defeat the army of the Chinese Ming dynasty.
12 __ Martin: British car : ASTON
Aston Martin is a British car manufacturer founded in 1913 by Lionel Martin. The Aston part of the company name comes from Aston Hill, a famous site for hill-climbing cars that is nearby the original factory. Aston Martin cars are much loved by the British entertainment industry. James Bond was given one in "Goldfinger", and Michael Caine drove one in the 1969 version of "The Italian Job". Also, Roger Moore's character drove a yellow Aston Martin in the seventies television show "The Persuaders!".
13 Flip-flop : THONG
Zori are thonged sandals commonly worn in Japan. Our modern "flip-flops" are based on the traditional zori design, although the original sandal is a pair of symmetrical shoes.
25 __ sum: bite-sized Chinese fare : DIM
Dim sum is a Chinese cuisine made up of small portions of various dishes. The tradition of serving dim sum is associated with the serving of tea, when small delicacies were offered to travelers and guests along with tea as a refreshment. The name "dim sum" translates as "touch the heart" implying that dim sum is not a main meal, just a snack "that touches the heart".
34 NYC home of Frida Kahlo's "Self-Portrait With Cropped Hair" : MOMA
The founding of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City was very much driven by Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, wife of John D. Rockefeller. Working with two friends, Abby managed to get the museum opened in 1929, just nine days after the Wall Street Crash. The MoMA's sculpture garden bears the name of Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, and has done so since 1949.
Mexican artist Frida Kahlo painted many self portraits. Her 1940 work "Self-Portrait With Cropped Hair" is somewhat unique, in that she usually portrayed herself in feminine clothing, and in this case is wearing a man's suit. She is holding a scissors, and shows hair on the floor that she has just cut off, leaving her with a masculine hairstyle. Kahlo cropped her hair a month after her divorce from fellow artist Diego Rivera. The image has been variously interpreted as a mourning of her marriage that has ended, and as a declaration of independence and self-reliance after divorcing an unfaithful spouse.
35 Chimps and gorillas : APES
The common chimpanzee is a species of great ape, i.e. a member of the Hominidae family (along with gorillas, humans and orangutans). The human and chimpanzee branches of the Hominidae family tree diverged 4-6 million years ago, making the chimp our closest living relatives in the animal kingdom.
The gorilla is the largest primate still in existence, and is one of the nearest living species to humans. Molecular biology studies have shown that our nearest relatives are in fact the species in the genus Pan (the chimpanzee and the bonobo), which split from the human branch of the family 4-6 million years ago. Gorillas and humans diverged at a point about 7 million years ago. The term "gorilla" derives from the Greek "gorillai" meaning "tribe of hairy women". Wow …!
40 Like skeleton racers, seemingly : FEARLESS
A luge is a small sled used by one or two people, on which one lies face up and feet first. The luge can be compared to the skeleton, a sled for only one person and on which the rider lies face down and goes down the hill head-first. Yikes!
43 Some concert merch : TEES
Merchandise (merch)
47 __ de la Cité: Paris landmark : ILE
There are two famous "îles" (islands) in the middle of the River Seine in Paris, one being the Île de la Cité, and the other Île Saint-Louis. Île de la Cité is the most renowned of the two, as it is home to the cathedral of Notre-Dame.
52 Puzzle : ENIGMA
Our term "enigma" meaning "puzzle, riddle" comes from the Greek "ainigma", which means the same thing.
55 "Bleeding Love" singer Lewis : LEONA
"Bleeding Love" is a 2007 song released by British singer Leona Lewis. The song had remarkable success around the world, and became only the second record to reach number-one in the charts in 35 countries. The first song to achieve that record was "Candle in the Wind 1997" by Elton John.
56 Cleaner sold in green canisters : COMET
The Comet brand of household cleanser produced a famous series of ads in the sixties through the eighties that featured a character known as "Josephine the Plumber". Played by actress Jane Withers, she was noted for uttering the line "Nothing can hold a can to Comet!"
62 Singer Brickell : EDIE
Edie Brickell is a singer-songwriter from Dallas, Texas. Brickell has been married to fellow singer Paul Simon since 1991.
64 Taxi : CAB
A hansom cab is a very specific design of horse and buggy that was patented by Joseph Hansom in 1834 in England. The "cab" in the name is short for "cabriolet", an earlier design of carriage on which the hansom was based. It's from "hansom cab" that we get our modern term "cab".

20 thoughts on "LA Times Crossword 8 Jun 22, Wednesday"
To answer the question from a couple of days ago, it does help when you don't have to guess at the proper nouns. Usually later in the week, clues either get more vague or more specific. The later is especially true with proper nouns. For example, a good early week clue for ATLANTA might be [Georgia capital] but late in the week it'll be something like [Donald Glover series].
The problem with these is they're so loaded they're really trivia games instead of crosswords. I definitely 31A at the last two days on that regard. The TV Guide crossword comparison is very apt to a lot of these puzzles, which is unfortunately rather sad. While they are loaded with proper nouns, for obvious reasons, at least they are so absurdly easy it almost doesn't matter if you don't know any of the trivia references.
But then again, I don't think a lot of the editors, Varol included, care if the puzzles turn into Google exercises for a vast majority of their audiences.
Amen! The puzzles have become much less interesting, for the most part, after the change of editors.
@Glen ….I agree…a good example in todays puzzle is 1 & 3D and 20A all together…IMO it stinks 👎👎👎
No errors. Most names solved by crosses.
And most are "never heard of" for me.
Still took me about 20 minutes
No errors, but had to look up the Jojo name: Siwa. The theme was
helpful but it took that "Siwa" to give me "waffle iron"…. Fun puzzle
Christine W says:
About 15 min. No errors.
Thought it was relatively easy for a Wednesday! Although I kept wanting to put Alana instead of Leona (Lewis) and then it clicked!
Enjoy your day! 😊
10:23 with revisions of MAMMAW>MEEMAW, COMIC_GOLD>COMEDYGOLD.
New items/names: SIWA, "Prosecco," "Shoyu," Ann Taylor LOFT, "Sue Bird," "Hoan Kiem Lake," LEONA Lewis, ILE de la Cite.
Did not realize that the Notre Dame Cathedral sat on an island in the middle of the Seine – even after all the news about the fire there 3 years ago.
Got the theme early, which helped a little.
D. Chatswood says:
Right on! In every respect.
cattygirl says:
Once again, I didn't know the TV people & singers except "Edie" because I've seen her clue so many times. I was wondering who calls their grandmother "Meemaw"? I never heard of it. I liked the theme today.
I still do this puzzle everyday but I've added the NYT because I enjoy it a lot more. However, I do find it to be extremely difficult on Friday.
Glenn thank-you for your input.
Eric S. says:
The third long answer felt a little less intuitive than the others. I guess one way something could remain mysterious is if it's hidden behind a screen?
In honor of today's theme, please enjoy Tom Lehrer's take, as of 1967.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcS3NOQnsQM
10:52 and stillborn, with 5 fills left blank in the top left. You're using names of YouTube "stars" for fills, now? Social media acronyms? Ann Taylor **WHAT**?? Complete NATICKS, all of them. Terrible.
Ann Taylor Loft is the name of a retail store that sells Ann Taylor clothes. Jo Jo Siwa is not just a you tube star. She was on Dancing With The Stars. I don't even watch this show, but somewhere in my memory I heard her name and was able to fill in the blank. Usually the proper names give me fits!
My grands are fans of JoJo Siwa.
11:38, 2 errors (stupidly had SKIPS/PENU instead of SKIMS/MENU). I liked the theme.
No look ups, no errors. Theme was too
clever by half but it helped a little.
Thanks for the insight Glen. But I draw
the line at Googling. If I can't finish,I can't
finish….
"Meemaw" I believe entered the Lexicon
thanks to the TV show Big Bang Theory.
Another TV Guide reference I'm afraid…
Lou lu says:
17:29 – enough cheats to almost qualify as a DNF.
The NE corner … aw, why bother complaining …
Be Well.
I actually completed the entire puzzle with no peeking!
Nice and easy Wednesday for me; took 12:23 with no peeks or errors..maybe a little slower since I was eating a bowl of popcorn.
I'm slightly embarrassed to say that I know of Jo Jo Siwa, but only because I have a yahoo account and she was featured a few times. And, I only know of MEEMAW, like Saul says, from watching "The Big Bang Theory" where Sheldon refers to his granny that way.
Cute theme and @Pam, thanks for that video…so the early version: "There's Earth and Air and Fire and Water"…Ha!

Gold and Silver Take a Beating from Goldman Sachs
Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013 Apr 11, 2013 - 05:12 PM GMT
By: Adrian_Ash
The WHOLESALE PRICE of gold rallied from 1-week lows against the Dollar on Thursday morning, but continued to fall for UK and Euro investors, hitting 4- and 2-month lows respectively.
World stock markets continued to rise, while major government bonds slipped, commodities held flat, and silver bullion rose back above $27.50 per ounce.
"Precious metals took a beating [on Wednesday]," notes Germany's Commerzbank, with gold "leading the way" by falling more than1.5%.
"Goldman Sachs came out with a top trade recommendation to sell Comex gold [futures], which started the move down."
That tip was followed by minutes from the US Federal Reserve's latest policy meeting, released at 9am after being mistakenly shared with lobbyists and lawmakers.
A leaked paper from the European Commission then included a proposal for Cyprus to sell 10 of its 13.9 tonnes in central-bank gold as part of the bankrupt island's €10 billion bail-out program.
"The Cypriot authorities have committed to sell the excess amount of gold reserves owned by the Republic," says the 'template' detailed in the paper.
"This is estimated to generate one-off revenues to the state of €0.4bn via an extraordinary pay-out of central bank profits."
Under the currency union's political treaty, however, central banks must be independent "from Community institutions or bodies, from any government of a Member State or...any other body."
That independence specifically includes not financing state deficits through the sale of central-bank assets – a point stressed by the European Central Bank when it rebuked a 2009 attempt by Silvio Berlusconi's administration to levy a 6% tax on the Banca d'Italia's 2,450-tonne gold bullion reserves.
"No such thing has been discussed or is in the process of being discussed," said Aliki Stylianou, a spokesperson at the Central Bank of Cyprus, to CNBC today.
"There are so many rumors flying about and this is just one of them."
"Ten tonnes of gold [is] not enough to significantly affect the market," adds Swiss refinery and finance group MKS in a note.
But even so, the leaked plan "has been a psychological blow to the market," counters James Steel at London market-maker HSBC, quoted by the Financial Times.
"The gold price has taken a pretty hard tumble."
Yesterday's minutes from the US Fed's mid-March policy meeting – where both interest rates and bond-buying levels were left unchanged – meantime revealed that "a few participants" would like to end its asset-purchase scheme "relatively soon."
Other attendees – again un-named, with their voting status left unclear – felt that "economic conditions would likely justify continuing the [quantitative easing] program at its current pace at least until late in the year."
"Many participants [however] emphasized" the need to see strong, sustainable improvement in the US labor market before the current $85 billion-per-month is reduced.
Today in Tokyo, new Bank of Japan governor Haruhiko Kuroda – who last week launched $1.4 trillion in QE over the next 2 years – tempered his previous comments by saying the central bank will treat its 2% annual inflation target "flexibly".
"If there is any serious asset market bubble appearing or approaching, of course we will take necessary measures," Kuroda told the FT in an interview.
The People's Bank of China meanwhile said this morning that its foreign exchange reserves grew 3.8% in the first 3 months of this year – the fastest pace in nearly 2 years – to hit fresh all-time records above $3.4 trillion.
"[We're seeing] an even greater demand for gold by China during price pullbacks, aside from the general uptrend," says a note from Mike Dragosits at TD Securities in Toronto, commenting on Wednesday's new gold import figures.
"China's demand for gold has not wavered in the face of all the negativity in the market surrounding the end to the gold bull run."

Repeat Photography Reveals How Glaciers Change Over Time
FROM THE JULY/AUGUST 2019 ISSUE
Photographic do-overs are showing scientists the ways our world is changing.
By Jonathon Keats|Monday, June 17, 2019
RELATED TAGS: ECOLOGY, SUSTAINABILITY, CLIMATE CHANGE
Researchers armed with historical photos aim to re-create shots to document changes at King Creek Ridge in Alberta, Canada. It's a scientific technique known as repeat photography.
Mary Sanseverino
Jasper National Park sprawls over 4,200 square miles of the Rocky Mountains in Alberta. Celebrated for its forests, glaciers and backcountry trails, the Canadian park also hosts retail outlets and franchise restaurants catering to crowds of tourists. Starting in the mid-1990s, as development accelerated and traffic soared, University of Alberta researchers set out to study how best to restore the natural environment. They soon realized they knew little about the park's original conditions.
Luckily, a warden had just discovered a stash of 735 black-and-white photographs stored in an old basement. The pictures were taken in 1915, less than a decade after the park's founding. "We realized they were something special," recalls University of Victoria ecologist Eric Higgs, who led the restoration's research effort while at Alberta. "Clearly it wasn't a personal album." Grouped by location, and facing in all directions, the pictures appeared to be the product of a long-forgotten survey.
Higgs and graduate student Jeanine Rhemtulla, now at the University of British Columbia, decided to see if they could find the original vistas, hoping to compare the images with the views today. To facilitate the process, they found a surplus large-format film camera and took the photos anew. With practice and persistence — and frequent lifts from friendly helicopter pilots — they replicated the survey over two summers. Careful analysis by Rhemtulla revealed that forest cover had become denser and more homogenous. Jasper had changed over the years, with implications for habitat and fire susceptibility, and the Alberta team couldn't have found out any other way.
Higgs didn't know it at first, but he'd stumbled onto a research technique called repeat photography, which dates back more than a century. The work at Jasper would actually go on to produce one of the largest repeat photography initiatives on the planet, known as the Mountain Legacy Project.
Looking Through History
Repeat photography began in the 1880s, less than half a century after photography was invented. The technique was first enlisted to monitor annual changes to alpine glaciers and to document the growth of plants, enhancing observations for which drawings or written notes previously would have been used.
But it took until the late 1950s for the true potential of repeat photography to emerge, when two scientists at the University of Arizona set out to study the ecology of the Sonoran Desert. Because they wanted to understand large-scale change over the long term, including how decades of agriculture had affected biodiversity, simply taking multiple pictures over time at a single site wasn't enough: They needed photos going back to before they were born.
So instead of beginning their research outdoors, bioclimatologist James Hastings and botanist Raymond Turner started working in library archives, retrieving Sonoran Desert photographs from as early as the 1880s. Some pictures were taken for scientific purposes, others for surveying or for documentation of the landscape. After rephotographing 300 sites over 1 vertical mile of land, they published The Desert Mile, a book that not only transformed knowledge of the desert but also alerted other scientists to the value of historical imagery.
"Once you start looking at old photographs, you look at things a whole different way," says Robert Webb, a retired U.S. Geological Survey hydrologist and repeat photographer who worked closely with Turner on a second edition of the book, published in 2003. "You start to realize there's a whole other dimension, which is time, and it makes you recognize that there's a dynamism to these systems."
The Canadian Rockies' Opabin Peak and surroundings, in 1908 and 2012.
The Mountain Legacy Project
Because such change is universal in the natural world, and because photography is now 180 years old, recapitulation of historical photographs has gained traction in many fields. Webb has used old photos to study the behavior of waterways such as the Colorado River and to see how vegetation has changed in the Grand Canyon. Others have investigated the breakup of polar ice sheets and the retreat of Alaskan glaciers in the wake of climate change.
"Repeat photography is very different from many scientific techniques because it can not only be used to answer a number of research questions, but can also generate a lot of research questions," says Webb. With a location, an archive and a camera, researchers expose themselves to whole new realms of inquiry.
New Tools, New Growth
After two summers of scrambling around Jasper National Park, Higgs thought he was finished with cameras and mountaineering in 1999. As an ecologist, he appreciated repeat photography — even more so as he learned about Webb, Turner and his other predecessors — but he was eager to return to his everyday work on ecosystem restoration. It was an accident of history that pulled him back into the archives and led him to found the Mountain Legacy Project.
Unlike most of Europe and the U.S., Canada was still largely terra incognita in the late 19th century. Eager to build railways opening up the land to mining and settlement, the government sought to map thousands of miles of rugged terrain at an unprecedented rate. Laying down chains to measure distance on the ground — the standard surveying technique of the period — was far too laborious, and it was practically useless for plotting elevation in a mountainous region. As the government grew impatient, a surveyor named Edouard Deville proposed trying out a method invented in his native France: With the help of an optical device called a theodolite, which measures angles, a surveyor could translate a comprehensive set of panoramic photographs into an accurate topographic map.
Jasper National Park's Athabasca Glacier, in 1917 and 2011.
Deville and his successors succeeded, charting most of Canada between the 1880s and the first decades of the 20th century. Once their maps were complete, the photos were no longer needed. The heavy glass-plate negatives were set to be destroyed, but they ended up misfiled in an Ottawa warehouse (perhaps intentionally diverted by a far-sighted civil servant). Higgs' grad students found them while investigating gaps in the Jasper prints, exploring equivalent photos from a neighboring park. The whole collection numbered 120,000 images, neatly preserved in 300 large boxes.
Higgs couldn't let the opportunity pass him by, and he immediately started retaking some of the photos. "We've done around 8,000 repeat images over the past 20 years," he says. The large-format film camera has been retired, supplanted by digital photography. Google Earth and GPS technologies get the photographers to the right spot, typically within a meter of where the original surveyor once looked through his lens. On the ground, the rephotographers — mostly students now — often see remnants of the original surveys, including fabric from century-old flags.
Yet even with modern technology, Higgs says it's common to experience "repeat photography vertigo, where you're standing in a location and you're pretty sure you're in the right location, but nothing looks the same." In some cases, the overgrowth is so extreme that the view is blocked, or the spot itself proves inaccessible.
It soon became clear that the growing density and homogeneity of mountain forest isn't unique to Jasper. Higgs believes the mosaic of older and newer growth seen in the early survey photos is likely a combination of natural climate effects as well as fire management practices by indigenous peoples.
"We're looking at how we might partner with indigenous communities to bring some of these patterns back to the landscape," he says. More broadly, he and his colleagues are attempting for the Canadian Rockies what Hastings and Turner originally sought to achieve in the Sonoran Desert: studying whole ecosystems with open minds. In some cases, they're finding surprises — such as new biodiversity taking root around abandoned mountain coal mines — prompting studies that might otherwise never have been imagined.
"Repeat photography has really informed how I think about the nature of change," says Higgs. "It's made me think about how and why we restore, and what that's going to look like in a changing world." More than just a window to the past, repeat photography provides a lens through which to scope out the environment of the future.

The Irish Government's Information Service has built a new social networking-led internet platform based on WordPress, Flickr, Facebook and Twitter called MerrionStreet.ie.
Under the new structure, Taoiseach Brian Cowen TD and other Government ministers will be in a position to 'tweet' to the world based on any number of issues.
According to the team behind MerrionStreet.ie the project took five months to pull together. The move will transform Government communications from the present website and press release format to a more dynamic web presence that will include photography, videos, Facebook status updates, Twitter feeds and web chat.
Most of the information from speeches to photos and video on the newswire-style site will be capable of being 'shared' with a wider internet audience whose users can post information to their Facebook statuses, tweet their followers or link the information to their blogs or websites.
The team behind the new MerrionStreet.ie presence said that they had seen what other nations like the UK and France had done in terms of embracing free social media tools and cited Number10.gov.uk as a particular inspiration.
"For a period of time there was a sense in Government that the old way of disseminating information through traditional websites left a lot to be desired and we felt the need to move to a more modern era in terms of tools.
"With the addition of Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Flickr and the resulting rich amount of text, photography and video we hope to give the citizen as well as the media a better sense of the activities of Government."
The new MerrrionStreet.ie site was built for the Government Information Service (GIS) by Irish web consultancy Arekibo and it is understood that the overall move cost the State less than €40,000.
"Cost was a prerequisite and we were keen to use available tools like WordPress and Flickr. We were also comfortable with the use of open source in the project. We looked at what the White House had done, what Sarkozy's people had done and what Downing Street had done and decided to emulate these approaches."
The home page has six tabs, including news, an issues page and a gallery, with a light box highlighting photography and video.
"The purpose is not to compete with traditional media, we want the citizen to come here and if they want quality photographs we will present this to them in the best possible way.
"The idea is to have a single place where people can access all related Government news and share it with the world."
The team realise the appetite for information on all things Irish. The announcement of the 1901 census being a key tool for potential tourism attracted 60 million hits, for example.
"We have seen how viral everything is on the internet and feel that people should be able to share videos of the Taoiseach making a speech, for example, on YouTube or Facebook."
The GIS said that the new MerrionStreet.ie resource will not be used as a political tool by any party in power.
"This is a Government site. We believe it will stand the test of time very well and will be a key asset for any Government."
The team has studied Twitter and other social media and says that the language of State communication will become simpler.
"If a tweet that comes from MerrionStreet.ie comes from the Taoiseach it will include the initials 'BC' so people will know that it came from Brian Cowen.
"Not every tweet will come from the Taoiseach but they will feature remarks from leaders in the appropriate context, for example if there was a remark to be made in the context of economic indicators like Exchequer returns.
"It is our job to report fairly and accurately what is occurring. But if a politician refers to something that has a particular value or resonance it will be clear that that is the word of the politician, not MerrionStreet.ie."
"This is the result of a study of more than 20 other governments' best practice and reflects an awareness among Government departments that people expect a greater dimension. Mere text doesn't cut it and people expect more."


I was only able to spend a short amount of time in Bozeman compared to Missoula, but I still enjoyed my day in the city, exploring the small downtown area, fitting in a craft brewery, and taking in another side of Montana.
Bozeman is the 4th largest city in Montana at just over 40,000 people. The city is located in Gallatin County, about an hour from Big Sky Resort and an hour and a half from Yellowstone National Park. Bozeman is also the home to Montana State University.
We drove from 320 Guest Ranch, just south of Big Sky Resort, and arrived in town in the afternoon, a tad exhausted from our recent travels around Montana and the fast pace we had kept up for the past six days. We weren't in the best mood when we arrived in Bozeman, but our spirits soon lifted once we started interacting with locals and walking around the city.
We saw a large sign for a brewery so we stopped in there first – not realizing we had accidentally walked into the distillery side of the building, the brewery wouldn't be open for another hour or two.
The man behind the bar was so friendly when we walked in that we stayed and chatted about life in Bozeman for a good 10 minutes or so, even though we weren't interested in buying any spirits. And that's exactly what I love about Montana – that attitude of pure friendliness.
We left the distillery behind and continued walking up and down Main Street in Bozeman, taking in the historic storefronts and the fresh mountain air. We passed by the co-op and came across a men's fashion store which Kendall wanted to take a look into. And my favorite part about the store, they offered us a free sample of local craft beer while we were browsing the merchandise. Um, how cool is that!?
We soon made our way back to the now open brewery and found it to be called White Dog. They had decent beer, I liked the majority of the sample tray we bought, with the exception of one or two beers that were average. They had great branding at least, which really does go a long way in the craft beer scene to make a brewery stand out.
On our way back to the car, we passed by Lark, a funky hotel in Bozeman that I had been wanting to stay at since I first started planning my trip to Montana, if only my timing in the city had been better. I've heard great things about the accommodation, and I have my mind set on making a stop in next time I'm in town to explore their uniquely designed rooms and incredibly friendly staff.
When I first started writing this post, I was going to research all there is to do around Bozeman and give you a full guide to the city. However, I know it's a place I'll be back to sometime in the near future and I wanted to save that post for when I actually get to experience the wonderful world of Bozeman first-hand.
In all honesty, we didn't get up to all that much in the city. We took our time in the downtown area and enjoyed every minute of it. I think after such a whirlwind time in the rest of Montana it was refreshing to just relax and take in the state's culture at its best. There's a slower pace that exists in Big Sky Country and we were finally matching that pace in a parallel way.
We came to the city in slightly heavy moods and left with a lighter mindset – Montana has a way of doing that to you. I'm looking forward to returning to Bozeman and getting lost in Southwest Montana as a whole next time I'm in the state.
Although seemingly small on the outside, I believe Bozeman to be a place that will surprise you with its personality and beauty time and time again.
Have you ever been drawn to a city that you didn't spend much time in? What's your favorite picture of Bozeman?
Wow! These photos are gorgeous! I've never been to Montana, but maybe I should plan a trip!
Looks like you had a lot of fun! What a great perspective on Bozeman!
Okay, I finally figured out what makes your 'atlas heart' such a unique travel blog: it's how you can land in a completely new, sight-unseen locale [even for as little as ONE day] and can capture a spirit and essence of a place, to the extent that I want to join you there! The photos, descriptions, FEEL as if I am.
Aw this made my day, thank you Cheryl. And thank you for being such a great reader for these past few years, I enjoy hearing your feedback and opinions on my writing. I'm glad I was able to "take" you to Montana with me – it was such a fun state to road trip around.
It was a lovely trip, isn't that awesome!? I've never experienced a beer tasting in a store before, haha.
It was different getting used to what's considered the "bigger" cities in a very sparsely populated state (and especially coming from somewhere like California with overflowing cities). I totally agree, I loved the slow pace I found in Montana – everyone was so friendly!
I've never been to Montana, but this looks like a cute, quaint, town. Your pictures are gorgeous.
Montana is truly a beauty, thank you Allison!
Bozeman looks like a lot of fun. I haven't traveled to Montana, but I really need to add that to my list.
Montana is such an underrated destination, but so worth a visit! I loved what little time I had in Bozeman, a cool little city.


First Astrid's sweet bairn was ripped from her bosom and then Astrid herself. My mind swarmed with questions, the grief only worsened by the terrible unknown. Had the wicked selkie come back for her, or did Astrid kill herself?
Interesting... I've never heard of this book before. Thanks for sharing!


No one wants to feel worthless or be a burden on society and, of course, saving money for a "rainy day" or retirement isn't a bad idea. However, some people feel as if what has been considered to be a "normal" way of life just isn't for them. Sometimes, the confines of our modern day life cause us to neglect ourselves, the environment, and actually removes us from society. Is it any wonder people start to feel depressed? When we live without free time, without dreams, without an outlet for creativity, life seems to lose its purpose.
But it doesn't have to be that way. If you are happy living the conventional life, good for you. However, if you want to start feeling better about life, if you would like to "unplug" from the typical matrix and change the way you look at life overall, we have some great tips for you.
If you feel that you are just "waking up," there really is a light at the end of the tunnel. Life should be an uplifting experience, one where you don't really want the journey to end in a two-bedroom apartment in a senior complex.
Keep reading and find out how you can unplug and what happens when you do.
You might have heard it before, but didn't take the time to truly understand it, so here it is again: Your thoughts dictate your reality. People who believe they are old, tired, and sick usually are. How is it that people who live in extreme poverty are happier than most Americans who have everything they could want and more? It's how they think.
If you hate your job, why not imagine yourself in a better one? Take steps to actually find that other job, of course, because it won't happen on its own, but imagine it. Think of the difficulties as stepping stones toward growth or toward what you really want.
The truth is, whether you sit and think about how much you hate something, or you sit and think about how much you are going to like something, the effort you are providing is the same.

There is a senior citizen program with lunch held every Wednesday in the La Vernia United Methodist Church Family Life Building. "Aging Gracefully" is an outreach to the community; a number of people that attend other churches come to this event. Wherever you go to church, you are welcome!
It begins at 10 a.m. with open activities and sometimes dancing or stretching class; people that don't want to exercise begin to arrive at 10:30 or so for coffee. It is a time of visiting and enjoying each other and then about 11 a.m. a program begins. As an example of some of the events, it might be a card game, a craft, maybe play bowling "senior style," or maybe animal trivia. Other activities could be playing Mexican Train, or a mystery activity. Sometimes the group is honored to hear "The Wranglers" or Carrol Samms & Friends and enjoy wonderful music. Gretch is so good at looking for fun events and games.
Before lunch there is a devotion and attendees are blessed by a message from our Lord and sharing of His love.
Lunch, which is served at noon, is an excellent meal for just a love offering. Chef Brian prepares wonderful meals as do our alternate Chefs, Doyle & MaryAnne and Robyn. Sometimes the meal is hamburgers with all the fixings, another time it is spaghetti and meatballs. Also served are meals of pork chops with all the trimmings and enjoyed with a salad and veggies. Everyone enjoys the time together and eating such good food.
The last Wednesday of the month there is a field trip. They have included a trip to Seguin and eating at the Grand Buffet and touring the pecan factory. Sometimes the field trip is a trip to play miniature golf, followed by pizza for lunch. Or maybe the trip is to brunch and a movie. All are very enjoyable and a time of great pleasure as the company is enjoyable and the activities are great!
If you live in the La Vernia area, you are invited. This is a ministry to all of the community, regardless of your church affiliation. Come and bring a friend, and enjoy a time of games, good food, and fellowship. It is also a time of reflection upon the Word of God through a devotion and prayer. See you there!
