We've warned for weeks that once the US elections were over, at least a few evil genies would be released and threaten risk asset markets, which are vulnerable given their being near decade highs despite deteriorating global fundamentals that are now hitting earnings.
The EU crisis: Washington had requested quiet in order to keep voters more upbeat about the current administration's handling of the economy.
The Fiscal Cliff: the combination of tax increases and spending cuts, which would come back into focus now that the elections clarified the balance of power in Washington and the cast of characters tasked with solving the problem that Washington itself created when it raised the US debt ceiling in the summer of 2011 rather than make a serious attempt at responsibly cutting its budget deficit and national debt.
However the elections released a third evil spirit that we should have anticipated, but didn't. We'll deal with that topic below.
They key point is that in five ways, this past week was a taste of things to come for the remainder of the year and beyond, as these market movers are likely to be with us in the weeks ahead.
Greece solvency concerns: EU officials continue to delay a decision on what to do about Greece, continuing the uncertainty about when and how Greece will default, and thus about the level of contagion risk. As we note in our weekly preview of the coming week and beyond, the big risk is not from a Greek default itself, but rather that it raises questions about the solvency of the creditors and sparks a banking and liquidity crisis, similar to what happened when Lehman Brothers bank died, only on an even larger scale. The biggest specific risk is that this crisis causes Spain's bond yields and borrowing costs to soar beyond its reach as we approach the New Year, just as Spain has well over €20 bln of bond sales scheduled (thanks to Kathleen Brooks of forex.com for kindly supplying those figures). See here for full details of this year end market crash scenario.
EU Commissioner Ollie Rehn publicly warns Spain's deficit reduction plans for the coming years were inadequate, setting up exactly the kind of a coming confrontation that had been put on hold until after the US elections.
Ongoing open policy disputes among the Troika members (ECB, EU, and IMF). The IMF views Greece from the perspective of reality, saying that because Greece cannot repay its debt it's time to allow a default and write down that debt to levels that allow Greece to recover. The EU and ECB however, oppose admitting their errors and facing voter anger. They instead favor continuing the policy of piling on more loans that cannot be repaid, to continue the pretense that another default can be avoided. The result will be bad for everyone.
Greece will be pushed to accept more austerity measures, which will only further weaken its economy to the extent that Greece actually implements any of them(?), and lead to more loans, resulting yet more austerity measures and depression. As it was brilliantly put: The rest is pure catastrophe; not even tragedy (since tragedies end with catharsis).
The eventual default, ultimately funded by EU taxpayers, will be that much bigger.
See here for a great summary of the situation by Yanis Varoufakis.
The elections removed any uncertainty over the balance of power in Washington and how that might influence what happens regarding the scheduled wave of tax increases and spending cuts. Short answer: no decisive victory for either side, essentially the same balance of power and cast of characters, and thus the same uncertainty about how the Fiscal Cliff will be resolved, if at all.
Political paralysis results in the full range of spending cuts and tax increases hits, slicing off an estimated 4% of US GDP and likely sending the US into recession. The good news is that it would actually mark the first serious steps to cut the US deficit that endangers America's longer term prosperity. But of course, long term benefits for the greater good have not been priority for Washington.
Little or none of these will happen as Washington will once again defer any serious deficit cutting, as it did when faced with 2011's debt ceiling crisis (which set up the current fiscal cliff crisis). The pain is deferred, but at a cost of further increases in the US deficit that would likely bring another sovereign credit downgrade and increase the future pain.
A compromise that mixes some minor progress on cutting the deficit with enough entitlements preserved so that both sides can claim victory. It's a lesser form of #3, and still leaves the US's debt issue to fester and grow.
All of them risk another US credit downgrade, because all show that Washington is unable to deal responsibly with its excessive debt. While the first option would actually cut the deficit, that result would only come by default and as a result of the same worrisome political paralysis that bodes ill for Washington's ability to deal further with its budget in the future. It's that same gridlock which caused it to lose its S&P AAA rating in 2011 when Washington raised the debt ceiling and deferred these budget decisions to the end of this year, hence creating the fiscal cliff. The others show a better functioning budget process, but one that fails to cut the deficit.
Most of the top tier data releases missed expectations, particularly in the EU and US.
Further evidence that the EU slowdown is hitting the few core funding nations on which the rest of the EU depends. Germany's ZEW business sentiment survey was far worse than expected, as was the Euro-zone's, and Holland's GDP.
Even though flash GDP for the EU as a whole was slightly better than expected, it still was negative for the second straight quarter, marking the EU's official double dip back into recession. The significance of this news is that it undermines the credibility of the EU's overall approach to solving its debt issue via austerity. While all understand that austerity initially cuts growth before its benefits kick in, many have warned that the GIIPS nations are too weak to survive the direct approach to cutting debt/GDP ratios- austerity. Thus far, austerity measures have proved self-defeating, as they simply caused GDP to fall as fast, or faster, than debt levels.
The US also showed overall negative monthly data. Much of that was influenced by hurricane Sandy, so some of those reports might show exceptional improvement in coming months, while others will reflect ongoing damage as millions of consumers have less to spend as the US enters its prime holiday retail spending season.
Rising Mideast tensions were also, to a lesser degree, weighing on markets.
He is the most anti-Israel/pro-Arab (however you want to look at it) US president since Jimmy Carter.
In the days following the US elections, Israel saw a marked increase in rocket fire from Gaza (evacuated by Israel as a 'risk for peace,' now under control of the popularly elected Hamas party, which committed to Israel's destruction)and, for the first time in years, took repeated fire from Syria.
Correctly or not, these elements apparently assumed Obama the re-elected Obama would feel free to keep Israel on a short leash. Sure, there's a risk of Israeli retaliation and casualties, but loss of human life, military or civilian, has never been a major concern for Hamas.
The recent destruction of a Sudanese arms factory owned by Iran and used to supply weapons to Gaza. That may complicate Gazan resistance.
Hezbollah is focused on providing military support for their ally Syrian President Assad.
Although the Egyptian PM shares Hamas's goals of wiping out Israel (he openly prays for Israel's destruction) this is not a good time for him to deal with the Israel Palestinian conflict.
See here and here for further details.
Both Asian markets and the USDJPY pair got a boost last week from hopes that coming elections in Japan will bring a more pro-stimulus leadership.
All of the above will continue to prominent market movers in the coming week and beyond. We'll discuss these in our weekly preview of the coming week.

Pandemic has fueled eating-disorder surge among teenagers, adults
Some people say 'my life feels out of control' because of the pandemic and that they have resorted to binge eating as a coping mechanism.
By Lindsey Tanner | AP May 24, 2021, 7:02am CDT
Share All sharing options for: Pandemic has fueled eating-disorder surge among teenagers, adults
Peyton Crest with her dog at home in Minnetonka, Minnesota. The 18-year-old says she developed anorexia before the pandemic but has relapsed twice since it began.
Many hospital beds are full. Waiting lists for outpatient treatment are bulging. And teenagers and adults seeking help for eating disorders often find it takes months just to get an appointment.
The coronavirus pandemic has led to a surge in eating disorders and relapses that isn't abating as restrictions are loosened and the number of COVID-19 cases falls, doctors and other experts say.
"We are absolutely seeing massive increases," said Jennifer Wildes, a University of Chicago associate psychiatry professor and director of its outpatient eating disorders program.
Some people are waiting four to five months to get treatment such as psychotherapy and sometimes medication. Waits before the pandemic usually were only a few weeks, according to Wildes, who said the program is treating about 100 patients — a near-doubling since before COVID.
The Emily Program, a University of Minnesota-affiliated eating disorders treatment program, is experiencing the same thing. The number of daily calls from people seeking treatment has doubled, from roughly 60 in 2019 to up to 130 since the pandemic began, according to dietitian Jillian Lampert, the program's chief strategy officer.
''We know that anxiety and isolation are typically very significant components of eating disorders," Lampert said.
Some people say ''my life feels out of control" because of the pandemic and that they've resorted to binge eating as a coping mechanism, Lampert said. Others have taken the message ''don't gain the pandemic 15'' to the extreme, restricting what they eat to the point of anorexia.
Her program offers in-patient treatment and outpatient programs in several states, which switched to teletherapy when the pandemic began, though some in-person treatment has resumed.
"We've seen an increase across the board," in patients of all races, adult, teenagers and sometimes even young kids, she said. That includes LGBTQ people, who tend to have higher rates of eating disorders than other groups.
Peyton Crest, an 18-year-old from Minnetonka, Minnesota, said she developed anorexia before the pandemic but has relapsed twice since it began. She was feeling under pressure when school went online and social distancing began last year.
''It was my junior year," she said. "I was about to apply for college."
Suddenly deprived of friends and classmates, she would spend all day alone in her room and became preoccupied with thoughts of food and anorexic behavior.
With her parents' prodding, she got treatment in June but relapsed again in September and spent almost two months in a residential treatment center in Arizona.
Her school recently returned to in-person classes, she was accepted at Rhodes College in Memphis, and Crest said she's doing much better.
"My mental health has improved immensely," she said.
Wildes said her program hasn't seen a slowdown.
"People haven't really gotten back to their routines," she said, predicting the surge won't subside until the fall.
The Alliance for Eating Disorders Awareness, which started offering virtual, therapist-led support groups for adults during the pandemic, also has seen a surge. Since January, more than 7,000 people from every state and 32 countries have attended their support groups, said CEO Johanna Kandel.
''It's like nothing we've seen before," Kandel said.
Hospitalizations also are up among teenage girls with severe complications from eating disorders, mostly anorexia.
Eating disorders affect at least 9% of people worldwide. They will affect nearly 30 million Americans in their lifetimes and cause about 10,000 U.S. deaths each year, according to the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders.
Anorexia, one of the more common eating disorders, typically involves restrictive eating habits and extreme thinness. It can cause abnormally low blood pressure and organ damage.
Signs of bulimia — eating large amounts of food followed by self-induced vomiting — can include frequent use of laxatives and immediate trips to the bathroom after meals.
An analysis published in April in the Epic Health Research Network journal that looked at electronic medical records data from about 80 U.S. hospitals found a 30% increase starting after March 2020 compared with the previous two years. There were 1,718 admissions for girls 12 to 18 through February but no increase among boys.
"The COVID pandemic has presented society and in particular adolescents with very, very significant psychological challenges," said Dr. Dave Little, a family physician and researcher at Epic who led the analysis. "It may be months or years before we see all of the true impacts."
He said the data should put parents and healthcare providers on the alert.
''Talk to your kids, talk to your patients," Little said. "Ensure that eating behaviors remain healthy, and the sooner you get an indication that there may be an issue, the sooner you respond the better."

Actually, that is the original version of my EMS rules. Rule #1 has morphed from "Don't kill anyone" to "Don't make anyone worse off" to leaving people better off – make their issue a little bit better than it was when you met them. But that isn't as catchy and memorable a thing to say for the two rules.
We spend a lot of time in classes learning to save lives. It's unfortunate that nobody expressly explains that our job isn't often to save a life. Our job is to start the process of fixing the problem that people called us for. Everyone has a different threshold at which a problem is unmanageable to them. For some, it is being pulseless due to a gunshot wound. For others it is loneliness. But our job usually exists somewhere in between those two. Your problem threshold isn't germane to the discussion. We understand that it is probably higher than your patients'.
If I count lives saved as the only way that my time was not wasted and the only metric of a successful call, then I will burn out quickly.
We. Do. Not. Usually. Save. Anyone.
Sorry to break that to you. I will grant that there are rare calls in which we can save a life – a chunk of steak in an airway comes to mind. But those only happen a few times in a long career. Even a cardiac arrest with field ROSC hasn't been saved by EMS – we only started a very long process that is continued by dozens of people in the hospital. All we did is to leave them better off than they were when we found them. Thus, to me, it was a success. This is also true for the pulseless GSW victim who was pronounced upon arrival. That patient may have died, but I left them better off than when I found them (for the most part, hopefully). It may not have even possible to save their lives. So if the hospital pronounces that patient, does that make everything I did a useless string of failure?
It is a successful call when I can give analgesia to someone in pain, comfort someone who is scared, offer good advice to someone who doesn't know what to do, or even just set up the hospital for future success by starting an IV and taking vital signs. All those are successful calls. We have a lot of them. Just focus on leaving people better off than when you found them when you are not on a life-or-death call – no matter what their problem is. Your self-image will more closely align with reality, you will have more job satisfaction, you will be happier, and you will be able to focus on what your job really entails.
As for Rule #2, I don't think that I have to say that you cannot succeed at Rule #2 if you have failed at Rule #1. Maybe I will expand more on the concept of looking cool later.

List Rules Living actresses born in or before 1938
The best living actresses over 80 (or close to it) include the classic beauties who headlined films and television shows of yesterday and those older female actresses we love today. These women might not all be the fresh faces in Hollywood they once were but their legacy and contributions to the entertainment world are timeless.
For classic movie fans, these actresses born before 1935 include many familiar names from some of the best movies of all time. Who can forget Lauren Bacall starring alongside Humphrey Bogart in several movies in the 1940s or Maureen O'Hara appearing in westerns with the great John Wayne? What about the long and successful careers of Sophia Loren, Shirley MacLaine and Brigitte Bardot? They might not be the leading ladies of today but in their time, they were among the best in the business.
Despite their age, which all deal with gracefully, many of these best living actresses 80 or older are still active today. Betty White might be the best example of that as the Golden Girl continues to entertain audiences with her television shows and books.
Which actress over 80 is the absolute best when comparing them at the peak of their careers?

UDI regulation is here. Compliance is being staggered over seven years based on medical device classification from Class III (high risk) to Class 1 (low risk). Failure to follow the FDA's UDI labeling and GUDID attribute guidelines could result in confiscation, injunction, and civil or criminal penalties. We can help.
As part of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's implementation of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the Unique Device Identifier (UDI) regulation requires manufacturers to adopt standardized labeling for all medical devices and to uniquely identify medical devices sold in the United States. Although patient safety is the main driver behind this regulation, UDI can be utilized within the healthcare supply chain from manufacturers all the way through to patient-facing healthcare providers.
We tailor our flexible, end-to-end compliance methodology to your company's unique circumstances. The following chart shows our three-phase approach, which serves as a foundation and can easily be modified to meet your specific needs.
Provide labeling for all medical devices to include a UDI in both human readable and Automatic Identification Data Capture (AIDC)/barcode format.
Include device attributes in a Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) to allow the healthcare community and the public to obtain critical information using the UDI Device Identifier as the key.
Direct part marking (with UDI) on all medical devices that are reusable and require processing between patients in either human readable or AIDC/ barcode format.
Compliance is one of RGP's core competencies. Our accomplished professionals have 10-20 years' experience in both consulting and corporate roles. We've helped thousands of clients navigate complex compliance initiatives, making the process as painless as possible. Let us help with your regulatory initiatives.

Jomo Kenyatta: Biography & First President of Kenya
Jomo Kenyatta: Biography & First…
Jomo Kenyatta was the first president of Kenya. He was devoted nationalist who was a staunch protector of Western political and economic interests in Kenya. Kenyatta was widely regarded as a stabilizing force in Kenya.
Kenyatta was born probably on October 20, 1891, at Ichaweri in British East Africa (now Kenya). A member of the Kikuyu tribe, he was named
Kamau wa Ngengi. Educated at the Church of Scotland Mission at Kikuyu and baptized a Christian, he worked as a government clerk in Nairobi. Where in 1922 he joined a political protest movement. By 1928, as secretary of the Kikuyu Central Association, he was chief advocate for Kikuyu land rights. From 1931 to 1946 he worked and studied in Western Europe and Moscow. While in London, Kenyatta studied under the British anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski and wrote his influential book Facing Mount Kenya (1938).
On returning to Africa, Kenyatta was elected president of the new Kenya African Union (later, Kenya African National Union, or KANU). In 1952 he was charged with leading the Mau Mau Rebellion against the British, and, despite his denials, he was sentenced to seven years in prison and two years in exile. Released in 1961, he assumed the presidency of KANU. In 1963, when Kenya gained independence, Kenyatta became prime minister. He was elected president of the new Republic of Kenya in 1964 and held that post until his death in Mombasa on August 22, 1978.

Notes & Nods
Looking for a fringe fix? This weekend's Mini-Rogue delivers
By Donald Munro
The Seattle-to-Fresno Mini Rogue is back this weekend for a fifth consecutive year. Think of it like a one-location Rogue Festival. Plus: If you're a member of The Munro Review, you can win two all-access passes to the event!
Pictured at top: Aaron Shay and Sarah Shay of "The Shay & Shay Radio Hour."
Here are your burning questions answered:
What's the set-up, and who is behind it?
Five fringe festival-style acts are featured in one action-packed three-day weekend. The event is sponsored by Fresno's Rogue Festival and curated by Seattle-based Minion Productions (no newcomer to these parts) and Jayne Day, local fringe-enthusiast extraordinaire (and a former Rogue producer).
Are you a member of The Munro Review? Win passes to the Seattle-to-Fresno Mini Rogue
Where, when and how much?
All performances are at The Revue in the Tower District (620 E. Olive Ave.) First performance is 6 p.m. Friday, Sept. 7, and the last is 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 9. Tickets are $10 a show. More details and performance times are here.
So … Grant Knutson of Minion Productions must really like Fresno to come to the big Rogue Festival every year AND the Mini-Rogue as well. It seems like he's really let Fresno's dust settle into his lungs and not let go. (I just made that up, and it's kind of depressing. Hope it doesn't become the new catch phrase. Sorry, I got kind of off track there.)
Knutson replies: "Yes! It's hard to believe, but this is our fifth anniversary of the Seattle-to-Fresno Mini-Rogue. It goes so fast. Once Rogue Festival ends, my co-producer Jayne Day and I spend the next six months finding artists and planning for the Mini-Rogue. So every year sneaks up on us. I'm based in Seattle and I travel to fringe theater festivals all over North America, but I've definitely become a big fan of Fresno's art scene. I first came down for Rogue Festival seven years ago, and I immediately fell in love with the fest's friendly and adventurous supporters. I feel very welcome here."
What's the show line-up?
"Shay & Shay Radio Hour," by Aaron Shay and Sarah Shay: Singer-songwriter siblings playing indie-folk music mixed with whimsical stories and nerdy references galore.
"A Formal Feeling," by Fresno Dance Collective (NOCO): Exploring individuality in a group-think culture, with movement by Fresno's premier modern dance company.
"An Interstellar Clown Show," by Les Bancs: Silly fun for kids and adults as three bumbling astronauts get marooned on the moon.
"Alice," by Simpson Theatricals: A high-energy modern comedy version of 'Alice in Wonderland' by Fresno's newest theater ensemble.
"Suburban Tribe: Unmasked," by Kate Mura: A true solo show about a loving community that supported one young girl in need.
Some shows are local, and others are from out-of-town. Which are harder to sell?
"As supportive and adventurous as our patrons are, it's still more of a challenge to get a crowd for the out-of-town shows," Knutson says. "Seeing new artists is a risk. Will you enjoy the style? Will they live up to their own hype? But it's also a bigger reward. It's exhilarating when you discover a new artist who really speaks to you. And I hope we've brought in enough amazing artists over the years to have earned the benefit of the doubt."
What's the future of the Mini-Rogue?
It could be up to you, the Fresno-area audience. If you like the idea of these types of acts brightening up your September, you'll need to support them.
"I'd love to say thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years," Knutson says. "Especially our sponsor, the Rogue Festival, and our venue, The Revue. But also the artists, patrons and volunteers who make it possible. I don't know how long the Mini-Rogue will last or what shape it will take, but it has been a wonderful part of my year for half a decade now."

Infergo v0.6.1 is out. What's new: I moved many things around, some in a backward-incompatible way, but should only affect a minority of users. As a side-effect of using Infergo for a rather involved model, I fixed two bugs in the automatic differentiation transformation. The bugs manifested in edge cases I didn't even think they exist. The accompanying repository infergo-studies now contains a new case study — a rewrite of Stan's LDA example.
infergo v0.5.0 is out. What's new: Multithreading support. Differentiation can be performed concurrently in multiple goroutines without locking of calls to Observe or Gradient, and with little contention. Examples and case studies performing inference in parallel, both using Infergo's own inference algorithms, or through integration in Gonum.
2.16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying: 'Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat; 2.17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.' The Book of Genesis Go gives the programmer introspection into every aspect of the language, and of a running program.
infergo v0.3.0 is out. What's new: Only methods returning float64 or nothing are differentiated. This allows to define helper methods on the model, such as returning the number of parameters, and call the methods outside of differentiated context. infergo models can be optimized using Gonum optimization algorithms. This includes BFGS and variants. Case study lr-gonum applies L-BFGS to linear regression. Case studies have been extended. New studies include: linear regression, solved using either stochastic gradient descent and BFGS; compilation of infergo models and inference into WebAssembly and running in the browser; integration with Gonum; Neal's funnel, a re-parameterization example borrowed from Stan documentation.
infergo v0.2.2 is out. What's new: Constant folding. Automatic import of packages required for short variable declarations (see issue #10).
I share here my experiences from integrating probabilistic programming into a server-side software system and implementing a probabilistic programming facility for Go, a modern programming language of choice for server-side software development. Server-side application of probabilistic programming poses challenges for a probabilistic programming system. I discuss the challenges and my experience in overcoming them, and suggest guidelines that can help in a wider adoption of probabilistic programming in server-side software systems.


What is your primary or favorite genre to write? – Inspirational "with an edge" romance and women's fiction.
Do you have other genres you write for? – I also write non-fiction.
Which project is your favorite so far? Why? – That's hard to answer because I love all of my completed books! I guess you could say my favorite is the one not-yet-finished because I'm open to the surprises that come from the writing and getting to know my characters.
How long have you been writing? – I've been writing for nearly forty years and published for twenty plus.
Where is your favorite place to write? – At my desk but I have been known to write using the note feature on my phone while traveling or longhand in five-subject notebooks or a binder.
What kind of atmosphere do you need? Quiet, music, coffee, wine? Any tricks to get in the zone? – I must have QUIET or perhaps a little background noise (fan, tv, or radio in another room, etc,) to get in the zone. Sometimes water or coffee but other than that, no special drinks or beverages.
What genres do you prefer to read? – Romance is about the only genre I'll read and many romance sub-genres (suspense, historical, etc), however, on average I read more spiritual non-fiction than anything else.
What's your favorite book or movie? Book(s) – The Born in Trilogy by Nora Roberts. Movie(s) – Pretty Woman and A Few Good Men – two different ends of the genre spectrum I know but those two are my all-time favorites!
What do you do for fun when you're not writing? – Camping, reading, horseback riding, hiking, traveling.

A nearly 20-year-old video of a CBS interview between anchor Dan Rather and Donald Trump resurfaced on YouTube.
During the interview, Trump ridiculed Sen. John McCain of Arizona and former Gov. George W. Bush of Texas.
"Does being captured make you a hero," Trump asked, referring to McCain. "I don't know, I'm not sure."
Referring to Bush, Trump said he was "very, very saddened by the fact that he certainly doesn't seem like Albert Einstein."
New York City real-estate tycoon Donald Trump discussed his political ambitions and railed against Sen. John McCain and George W. Bush in a nearly 20-year-old video of a CBS interview with anchor Dan Rather.
"I am absolutely serious about conceivably running for the office of president," Trump said to Rather on CBS's "60 Minutes II" in 1999, which resurfaced on YouTube.
"And if run and I won, I think I'd be a really good president. I'd be prepared to spend $100 million on the race if necessary," Trump said at the time.
During the interview, Trump touted his credentials and threw jabs at Sen. John McCain of Arizona and former Gov. George W. Bush of Texas.
Trump downplayed McCain's service and said the former naval aviator, who was held captive and tortured by North Vietnamese forces for over five years, "was captured."
"And he flew combat missions [with distinction]," Rather replied.
"Does being captured make you a hero," Trump asked. "I don't know, I'm not sure."
Years later, on the campaign trail ahead of the 2016 election, Trump would echo the same remarks and throw cold water on McCain's credentials.
"He's not a war hero," Trump said in 2015. "He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured."
Referring to Bush in the 1999 interview, Trump said he was "very, very saddened by the fact that he certainly doesn't seem like Albert Einstein."
Asked if Bush would have been Texas's governor if his father, President George H.W. Bush, had not been the commander-in-chief, Trump replied "no."
"Hey, look. I know politicians," Trump said. "I deal with them all the time at almost every level."
"I know these folks well," Trump added. "And some are dumber than a rock. And I know who they are. I know the smart ones, I know the not-so-smart ones, and I know that I can do a very good job."
Rather also posed a question to former model Melania Trump, asking what Trump's best qualities were.
"He's a loyal man," Melania said smiling.
Trump sought the presidential nomination from the Reform Party, a political party founded in 1995 by billionaire Ross Perot. Trump would later withdraw from the race and cited the Reform Party's infighting as the driving factor.


Excellent wisdom. Children really do learn by our examples. I love how honest and real you are too. Thank you for sharing glimpses of your own parenting journey.
It's truth that I hold dear to!
Thanks for having me! I truly enjoy reading everyone else's posts!


Our welcoming spirit and hospitality are implied and translated by this short and symbolic word: Maitei, the name of the hotel, means "greetings" in Tupi–Guarani, the most widely spoken Indigenous language in the Brazilian territory. Incidentally, the official birth of Brazil happened near, in Porto Seguro, on the Discovery Coast. Since then, Arraial d'Ajuda has become a tropical dream destination pursued in the New World. Set in a landscape with exuberant beauty, on top of an unmatched hillock in the immediate vicinity, the Maitei Hotel sets out to build the tropicalist daydream. And it does so with style and comfort, offering guests a relaxing and involving experience – both in the facilities and the promoted tours. Another one of our specialties is welcoming honeymooners.
SUL Hotels Tip: Next to Porto Seguro, the Arraial d'Ajuda village is very popular all year round (May and June, however, are rainy months and more peaceful). Even with all the tourist frenzy, Arraial still offers visitors preserved and almost exclusive places like the Taípe Beach, safeguarded by beautiful cliffs, only 14 kilometers to downtown.
There are 17 rooms – 13 are doubles, and four are triples –, all equipped with cable TV, a jacuzzi, air conditioning, a minibar and a balcony with a hammock. Trussardi bedding, feather pillows, soft 280-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets and fluffy 550-thread-count towels are available in the room. The contemporary decor blends rustic and casual elements. Fourteen suites offer a privileged view of the ocean.
This is an ideal and laid-back option for a more balanced contact with the abundant local nature. It is located on the Araçaípe Beach and has five comfortable and well-equipped suites. It is in a 5-thousand-m² area integrated with nature; it has a swimming pool and a gym. The space is also appropriate for social and other events, including celebrations and weddings in the best possible bare-feet-in-the-sand style.
The Maitei facilities combine sophistication and elegance, without exaggeration or ostentation. Everything is discreet and balanced! It has two swimming pools with an exuberant view of the sea, a gym, a sauna, bars and a restaurant as well as a solar terrace and common areas, which include a pool table and other types of entertainments. There are hammocks on the balconies and Wi-Fi coverage in the outdoor areas. As for the gastronomy, the moqueca (Bahia-style fish stew) and the delicious seafood options combined with seasonal fruit are a sure bet. The menu is designed by chef Fernanda Possa and executed by Maitei's chef, Rafa Oliveira.
Just one hour from Porto Seguro International Airport and halfway to charming Trancoso, by the sea, the Arraial d'Ajuda village is surrounded by all the best features of a beach destination. Its highlights are beautiful beach resorts with soft sand, some more bustling and others almost exclusive, the calm sea and the blazing sun for most of the year. On top of that, the nightlife is lively and offers good options for bars and restaurants. A local reference, the Rua do Mucugê (Mucugê Street) – the Maitei Hotel's address – is a traditional meeting point to see and be seen after the sun goes down. Those who want to get better acquainted with the region can extend their visit to Caraíva, a fishing village, and the wonderful Espelho (Mirror) Beach, with tours organized by Maite's concierge. From July to September, it is also possible to take the boat tour to closely observe the parade of humpback whales in the waters on the coast of Bahia.
Relaxing in the sun and enjoying the ocean breeze amidst a line of sight that delights the eyes and soothe the heart are only the most obvious options in Arraial d'Ajuda. Teeming with alternatives, the destination provides activities to please all profiles, from horseback riding, organized by Maitei (check with the concierge), to watching humpback whales at sea between July and September. Under (or in) the water, scuba diving, sport fishing, kayaking, kitesurfing and stand-up paddle boarding are all good choices – the hotel offers speedboat tours to nearby beaches. Outdoors, the range goes from friendly tennis and golf matches, biking and capoeira classes to tours to the most paradisiacal beaches in the area and a Pataxó tribe reservation.
The closest airport is the Porto Seguro Airport, served by the main Brazilian airlines. After arriving, you can take a taxi to the ferry and enjoy the marvelous crossing of the Buranhém River.
For those who drive here on the BR-101 highway, the best option is the BA-001 highway that gives direct access to Arraial d'Ajuda, without having to cross Porto Seguro.

Of Golden Anniversaries and Green Jackets; Jack Looks Back
On the 50th anniversary of his first Masters victory, Jack Nicklaus reflects on a historic win that set the tone for an unparalleled legacy at Augusta.
Jack Nicklaus with his father, Charlie Nicklaus, at the 1963 Masters
Q. Jack, can you first provide just some general thoughts about the significance of 1963 and that first Masters Tournament victory—the first of a record six at Augusta National?
JACK: Can I just say, the 1963 Masters to me was a special win. All wins are special. It was my second major after winning the U.S. Open in 1962. But it was a place where I always wanted to win. I always loved Augusta. Bob Jones was my idol. I loved his facility. I loved what he represented in the game of golf. To win his tournament was really very, very special. That week was probably one of the most important weeks of my career, because it established my ability to win at that golf course, so it set up the rest of my career at Augusta. It is something that 50 years later is still very special to me. I'm thankful that after 50 years, there's still somebody that wants to hear something about it. I appreciate that and I'm happy to talk about it.
Q. Jack, how was your game coming into Augusta in 1963?
JACK: Actually, I was forced to adjust my game coming into the Masters in 1963. Earlier in the year, playing at Harding Park in San Francisco, I injured my left hip on the last approach shot in the pro-am. I received more than 20 cortisone injections over the next 10 weeks. But due to the hip injury, I couldn't really hit into my left side. During my career, I was known for playing left to right, but the injury really forced me to learn how to play right to left, because it took pressure off my hip. And that was actually a blessing and probably the best thing that happened to me for that Masters, because I got there and I was able to hit right-to-left tee shots around some of the corners where that shape of a shot is beneficial. Obviously it was a good thing for me because I eventually won.
Q. Realizing it's been 50 years, what do you remember about that week?
JACK: I opened 74-66 and obviously the 66 (Friday's low round) was a really good round and put me in good position for the weekend. As I recall, Mike Souchak was leading the tournament by one shot. I played with Mike in the third round and it poured down rain. Nobody thought that anybody was going to finish the golf tournament. You thought they would wash the round out. I remember in the 13th fairway there wasn't any place to drop the ball because it was all standing water. But we were forced to keep on playing; they didn't call the round. And finally, the rain stopped. When I got to the 18th and was walking up the fairway, I glanced over to the iconic scoreboard that sits just to the hole's left. I scanned the leader board and saw a large group of 1s. Being that I am red-green color blind, I wasn't sure how many were green—representing over par—and how many were red and under par. So I asked my caddie, Willie Peterson, "Willie, how many of those ones are red?" Willie responded with a big smile, "Just you, boss. Just you."
I really just persevered on Saturday and one thing I'm proud of was my patience, which was pretty good for a 23-year-old. The weather improved and Sunday was sunny. Sam Snead made a big run for a while, which got the galleries excited, but he cooled off and shot a 71 and tied for third with Julius Boros. I birdied 13 and 16. Sixteen was a key because I made a 2 from about 10 or 12 feet and Sam made a bogey. Tony Lema, who was playing in his first Masters, shot a 70 and finished second.
Q. Do you recall anything unique about the post-round celebration?
JACK: 1963, obviously, being my first Masters win, was very special. And I think that I did something in the '63 Masters that I don't think I've done before or since. I remember, I started walking off the 18th green and Ralph Hutchinson, who was doing the scoring, says, "Jack, keep your ball and give it to Bob Jones at the ceremony." I said, "Ok, is that traditional?" He said, "Oh yeah, he would love that." And I've never seen anybody do it before or since. So I felt a little silly after I go back and look at it. I'm sure Augusta would like to have that golf ball.
My father and his friends were all there. But it actually was the only Masters and my only major championship victory that Barbara missed. She delivered Steve the Thursday following the win.
Q. 1963 was actually your fifth time playing Augusta National and the Masters. Did you like the course right from the beginning?
JACK: I played in my first Masters (in 1959) when I was 19. I loved everything about it. The course suited me, especially when I became comfortable hitting the ball from right-to-left. I always thought I could do better there. I had four second-place finishes and a lot of (21) top-10s. I just loved everything about the tournament. I still get the same feeling driving down Magnolia Lane that I did in 1959. Of course, Bob Jones was a big part of it. He won the 1926 U.S. Open at Scioto [Where Nicklaus learned to play under the teaching of the club's professional, Jack Grout] and he was my father's hero and became mine, too. I met him when I was 15 at the 1955 U.S. Amateur and in the 1959 Masters my father and I were invited to his cottage. It became an annual tradition for us. He was such an idol of mine, yet I never saw him hit a shot.
Q. People talk about the learning curve involved with Augusta. How did you play in 1959?
JACK: I actually played well from tee to green. I hit 31 greens in the first two rounds, but had eight 3-putt greens and I missed the cut. Arnold [Palmer] hit 19 greens and he was leading the golf tournament. I figured then that I better learn how to play these greens.
You have to adjust to the conditions. If the greens are dry and fast, they'll putt one way. It they are wet, they will putt differently–certainly much slower.
Q. How much prestige did the Masters have in those days?
JACK: I think it was almost about the same then as it is now. I look at three major championships, the U.S. Open, the British Open and the PGA being championships of their associations or organizations, and the Masters being a little bit of a horse of a different color. But it was just as coveted in 1963 as it is today. It's very, very special. Part of it is the venue. Unlike the other majors, the Masters is played on the same golf course every year. And I think the Masters Tournament officials have probably done more to grow their event than anybody else, and much of that is because of it being at one location all the time. It's like Wimbledon is to tennis. And the course sets up for drama on the final nine on Sunday. No. 12 gives you the chance of a 2 or a 5, and Holes 13 and 15 give you chances for birdies or even eagles.
Q. The win in 1963 gave you four majors (two U.S. Amateurs and the 1962 U.S. Open). Did you begin thinking about Bob Jones' record?
JACK: I can honestly say that until 1970, I never really thought about the record. But after I won the British Open in 1970, I walked into the press room and Bob Green (long-time Associated Press golf writer) mentioned that it was my 10th major and I was just three short of Bob Jones' record. I had never thought about it before but then it became my goal.
Q. Obviously, all your wins at Augusta are special. Could you talk a little bit about each one?
JACK: Well, 1963 was special because it was my second professional major (after the 1962 U.S. Open) and it established my ability to win in the majors, which was always my goal. It was also special because my father and Bob Jones were there. In 1965, I was able to set the scoring record. I shot 64 in the third round and it was the easiest 64 I ever shot. It seemed like I had wedges or short irons for approaches into all the par 4s and had short putts for birdies. In '66, it was a different golf course and I won shooting 17 shots higher than the year before. But it was special in that I became the first player to win back-to-back. In '72, I was in the prime of my career. I won at Augusta and then the U.S. Open, and then lost by a stroke to Lee Trevino at the British Open. Of course, 1975 was special because Johnny Miller, Tom Weiskopf and I were so close coming down the final stretch. That was probably the most fun I've ever had in a major. And then in 1986, to win the Masters at age 46—at an age when no one, including myself, thought I could or should win—and to do so with my son Jack on the bag was very special. The 1986 Masters was also the first time since my first Masters in 1959 that both my mother and sister came to the tournament, and I have no idea why. But that was special, too.
Q. You were one of the first players to come into a major the week before to get to know the course. How did that come about?
JACK: When I was an amateur, I went in early, and then when I turned pro in 1962, I instead went to Greensboro the week before and didn't play well at the Masters. Then in 1963, I decided not to go to Greensboro and won the Masters. I went to Greensboro in 1964 and didn't win; I finished second. I didn't go to Greensboro in 1965 and I won. I didn't go to Greensboro in 1966 and I won. It was absolutely nothing against Greensboro. I just figured at that point that going to a golf course early, practicing and preparing on a golf course—particularly the greens—you're going to play on in a major, is essential if you really want to win and be consistent in the major championships.

NIFTY saw another rough day today loosing 1.12% and closing 86 points lower from yesterday.
On the intraday 2 hour chart, we see the descending broadening triangle. It is a descending broadening triangle because the resistance line is horizontal . Nifty has reached the 7350 support level which was mentioned in the previous market wrap.
Today we saw that the pressure was taken off from the bank stocks, however the infrastructure stocks caved and lost some 3-5%.
Karnataka bank was up by 4% on cues of it result announcement.
The international markets were stable today, Shanghai composite index closed 0.44% higher. The Europeans indices are slightly lower as we speak.
Due to the news of a penalty imposed on Adani Power's company, Adani-Hazira Port Pvt Ltd (AHPPL) and its associate for forging environment clearance from the Ministry of Environment and Forests, it's shared tanked 10.36% lower, closing at 26.40 after an opening of 29.40.
On the charts we see a broadening triangle which is often observed as a topping out pattern after a rally. This broadening triangle is different from the one observed previously in Nifty because both the upper and lower trendlines are diverging outward due to the wild swings in prices.
Notice the black rectangles on the chart. These are highlighting the volume observed, against the corresponding price movements.
In rectangle #1, we see that the rally that started from 25, came about with very low volumes, this indicated that the rally does not have strength.
In rectangle #2 , we see that the volume was high in the consolidation phase, this indicates the shifting phase were in the 'smart investors' or professionals who have access to better information and resources, shift their holdings to the less smart investors. This was an early indication of the upcoming down move.


Golf d'Hardelot (Les Dunes course) in Nord-Pas-de-Calais. Top golf courses of France.
Golf d'Hardelot (Les Dunes course): As the more recent of the two Hardelot courses, Les Dunes does not quite have the cachet or style of Tom Simpson's Les Pins layout (located just a kilometre away). At just over 5,800 yards from the tips, and with six not overly long par-3s, you may be forgiven for thinking Les Dunes will not thoroughly examine your game. But there you'd be wrong. This often hilly and (at times) tightly tree-lined course will most assuredly test all aspects of your game.
The uphill par-4 opening hole provides a good example of what lies ahead on Les Dunes. Like many holes, it contains considerable elevation change, deep crinkly-edged bunkering and a testing approach to an elevated two-tier green. Driving accuracy is one of the essentials to good scoring here. So too the ability to weigh-up the elevation changes, and execute an adept short game should you miss the greens.
The quiet setting amongst mature pine trees, and a generally good level of greenkeeping ensures the popularity of Les Dunes with visiting golfers. Although many houses are seen immediately beyond the course boundary, they rarely detract from this ever-undulating and attractive layout. If the course had been built closer to modern-day championship length, it would certainly pose a bigger challenge to Les Pins for top honours in Hardelot.
Surroundings: Residential and pine forest.
Designer: French designer Jean-Claude Cornillot with Baron Paul Rolin (Belgium).
Above distances are for Les Dunes course. Located 1 km away is Hardelot's 18-hole Les Pins course (par-71, 5919 m from back tees).
3 km SE of Hardelot Plage / 13 km S of Boulogne.

An insight into the thoughts, ideas and minds that make up the Biskit team.
In business I guess we're used to sending clients things. We've never really been into corporate gifts or hospitality, though it's nice to put a smile on a face with something thoughtful.
The nice folks at Ingrid Flute Yorkshire Holiday Cottages though sent me this mug last year. It's a nice reminder of some lovely brand development workshops that we did with them, and makes me smile every time I use it !
When you can mix work with fun, you have the magic ingredients. Working with their team to work out the essence of Ingrid Flute was a fun challenge, and highly rewardng.
Wrapping this refreshed brand into a updated website, brochure, dm campaigns, email newsletters and advertising was the icing on the cake.
