Number three, please step forward.
Where you find inspiration is irrelevant.
It's what you do with it that really matters.
Christopher Boffoli's entire childhood was inspired by imagination. To him, it was a matter of survival. And it still is. As the protagonist in his own life, and a creative from a very early age, the Seattle-based photographer, writer, journalist and filmmaker has continued to allow his fantasy world to traverse with reality.
Boffoli has gained international acclaim for his Big Appetites work, which has been published in more than 100 countries. His photographs are even shown in private collections and galleries in the US, Canada, Europe and Asia. Not to mention, there are countless amateurs out there trying to emulate or plagiarize his work.
He wasn't always an avid photographer. It was something he picked up as a hobby. For most of his life, he saw himself as more of a writer and aspired to do that for a living, which explains the often overlooked captions that go along with his images. Having a successful, full-time career as visual artist was not something he anticipated.
Some of his early work began using things like flowers, crayons and other items, but Boffoli inevitably made the decision to strictly work with food for its aesthetics and endless variety. The food is where it all begins, and it's a lot more complicated than we have been led to believe. Although it is one of the few universal subjects, as a society we have a false familiarity with it that contradicts its intricacies.
His realization of the tremendous disconnect between the veracity of food and society's actual perception of the way it should look prompted him to make it the focal point of his compositions. Since we typically view the food we consume from about an arms length, capturing it through a macro lens only amplifies all of the flaws.
Growing up with attention deficit disorder (ADD), as well as being on the "outer fringes of the autism spectrum," Boffoli faced challenges when it came to navigating the world around him. Not surprisingly, he found a safe haven within the pages of his favorite books, as well the realms of make-believe. He was able to use his imagination as a form of communication that reached depths much more profound than words ever could.
By translating his views of the world through art in a non-linear fashion, Boffoli honed his innate ability to interpret his version of reality with great visual depth and dexterity.
Boffoli's images have a way of conveying something deeper about America's deeply entrenched obsession with food, but the captions are just as important as the images, as they reinforce the situations in the photographs or suggest what may happen next.
Despite living in the limelight for the past few years, Boffoli isn't one to dwell on praise or acclaim, as his success with Big Appetites came rather unexpectedly. After all, he worked on this project for the better part of a decade before it received any recognition.
Sometimes, the best things in life are unexpected. In actuality, he spends more time stressing over the long list of details he must keep track of on a weekly basis and being hard on himself (as most creatives are), while also doing his best to take opportunities as they come.
While Boffoli's intricate figures have provoked a lot of journalists to say that he "likes to play with his food," this couldn't be further from the truth. Because, if people were to actually see how miniscule the figures are (about 20mm) they would understand that there is nothing playful about it.
Preparing and painting the figures is tiresome, especially when faced with the challenges of arranging them on and around the food.
We can certainly learn a lot from Boffoli, not just simply that we should use our natural talents to obtain a more affluent, fulfilling life, or to humbly take pleasure in a well-deserved success, but also, as a society, to strive to create original ideas instead of sitting around regurgitating content and never having a creative thought of our own. According to Boffoli, everyone in the world is obviously the sum total of all of the influences they consume. We are what we eat.

During Foot Reflexology practitioners use charts of the feet to guide them as they apply gentle application of pressure to specific areas. The theory is that these areas correspond to organs, muscle groups, and systems of the body. From the Mayo Clinic: Several studies funded by the National Cancer Institute and the National Institutes of Health indicate that reflexology may reduce pain and psychological symptoms, such as anxiety and depression, and enhance relaxation and sleep. Studies also show that reflexology may have benefits in palliative care of people with cancer.
Ryan Lee is a certified Zero Balancing practitioner, with each treatment drawing from over 16 years of hands-on holistic bodywork experience. Grounded in his experience and understanding of both the physical and energetic systems of the body, each ZB treatment supports physical health and vitality, mental and emotional wellness/recovery, and a deeper connection to our own inner resources, wholeness and potential.
Please note: these therapies are clothed, please wear comfortable clothing for your session.

How social media influencers are creating IPO buzz
Platform has become a battleground between proponents of old style investing and new class of investors who believe startups cannot be valued using old metrics...

RK Gupta's mailbox has been flooded with queries from worried investors after Paytm shares hit the lower circuit on debut on Thursday. "It was the biggest IPO in India, but the company didn't manage it well," said Gupta, who runs the popular twitter handle IPO_Mantra. "I keep telling people that a big brand doesn't always translate into big returns. Be cautious,"
The Delhi-based social media influencer has been adding 15,000 to 20,000 new followers every month, and he's not the only one. As markets reached record highs, and the IPO market boomed, Indian market participants are skewing younger and younger. In the last 18 months, 29 million new demat accounts were opened, and the average age of a new demat account holder has also come down to 29.
Younger investors lean towards picking tech stocks and are also heavy users of social media. Market observers say that the majority of Indian retail investors put money in IPOs without doing any research on the company and without even reading the company's DHRP or RHP.
Their decision is driven by one or a combination of a few factors: euphoria around the bull market, the hype around popular companies like Zomato, Nykaa and Zomato, the big listing gains that a few recent IPOs have recorded, a cursory look at high grey market prices, buzz in informal WhatsApp/Telegram groups, or views of influencers on Youtube.
"Social media is playing an important role in identifying investment opportunities and creating buzz around companies and IPOs," says Neil Bahal, Founder & CEO, Negen Capital, a portfolio management firm. "If the top 4–5 influencers talk about a company, it makes a difference."
On November 8, Chicago-based fund manager Anurag Singh of Ansid Capital tweeted a long thread on the PayTm IPO that quickly went viral. The first tweet said, "There is a new game in town. The rules are 'well laid out' by VCs,' and over the next 20 odd tweets, he dissected the company's business and revenue model.
Singh concluded, "Amazon and Flipkart inspire excellence. Paytm looks like a mediocre company dominated by giants.With dreams bigger than its financials, Paytm is asking for valuations at 65 percent of Axis Bank, 40 percent of HDFC Bank. If your mutual fund buys this IPO, stop that SIP."
"There weren't enough contrarian views in the market. If loss making companies are coming to the market, they should be able to answer the questions. I wrote what many experts were thinking but not saying," said Singh.
And as the internet darlings like Zomato, Nykaa and PayTm listed, social media has become a battleground between proponents of old style investing and a new class of investors who believe that new loss making internet companies can't be valued using old metrics like price-to-earnings ratios or profit margin ratios.
"The old style investors missed the tech boom, the crypto boom, and the NFT boom. Some of these new companies, like Nykaa, are choosing to invest in growth over profitability. They are launching new products, creating a bigger brand or strengthening their organisation. Of course, some of these startups are also clueless about profitability—that's also a fact. But the good ones that might appear expensive will appear cheap 3–4 years later, " says Bahal, who is also a well-followed influencer.
One of the most prolific tweeters on IPOs on Twitter has been 26-year-old Aditya Kondawar of JST Investments, whose followers have tripled to 62,000 followers since the IPO boom began a few months ago.
His elaborate posts on companies after reading a draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) and culling out relevant information have been very popular. "I post quality investing content, but the IPO related content has really picked up. I am active on Twitter, Telegram, LinkedIn, and 10–12 WhatsApp groups. It's been crazy just keeping up, " he says.
Gupta of IPO Mantra claims to go even deeper, "I talk to lead managers, HNIs, and brokers to spot good opportunities and only then publish my views."
During the pandemic, Youtube played an important part in popularising stock market investing, often with videos that linked to discount brokerages.
"I get 10-15 emails every day to collaborate and review IPOs. But I don't have a tie-up with any discount brokerage or a distribution setup. I believe, the current euphoria will just aid transfer of wealth from impatient to patient investors," says Parimal Ade of Yadnya Investment Company, who runs two Youtube handles with nearly 10 lakh followers.
Popular Youtube influencers are garnering big followings. For example, Rachana Phadke Ranade has nearly 3.19 million subscribers on Youtube, PR Sundar has 7.59 lakh, Neeraj Joshi has 16 lakh and Siddharth Bhanushali--6.51 lakh, among others.
There are also a growing number of experts who are trying to warn retail investors about factors to consider before investing. For example, many IPOs have a large component of OFS (offer for sale) by promoters and PE funds, (62% of total offer in 2021).
"There is a cocktail—some real juice, some intoxication and some froth. We have been actively highlighting many such IPOs, especially where prices of selling shareholders have been marked up 3-10X in the year before listing, " said Sandeep Baid, Co-founder of Multiple, a new social network for investors.
Experts say that recency bias is kicking in and new retail investors are being swayed by the returns of the last 18 months when the market was only going northwards.
Almost all influencers say that it won't be pretty when the tide turns.
"I put out charts, numbers, and data after a lot of primary and secondary research. The new age DHRPs don't give out relevant information. But these days, everyone is a guru and all investors want quick gains. And when the market falls, people won't forget. So I tread carefully," says Kondawar.

Scientists keep a secret discovery of the century
Scientists have finally managed to drill a prehistoric ice of Antarctica. On the drilling depth 3768 meters gone for thirty years. Such persistence is explained by the desire of researchers to get into the most mysterious subglacial Lake Vostok. One of the largest sources of fresh water on the planet was in complete isolation from the external environment over the past 20 million years. The study of samples of its water can help in predicting climate change, as well as in finding new forms of life. However, some foreign websites have published their version of events. For example, on a site called The Total Collapse (complete collapse), it was reported the discovery of Russian underwater cameras striking structures in the form of a gold swastika, with dimensions of about one hundred meters in width and height. For several decades there is a legend about the existence in the planet's most southern point of the Nazi secret object. Moreover, rumors spread that Hitler survived and moved to Antarctica, taking with him a lot of archives and the treasures of the Third Reich. However, no documentary evidence on this issue did not exist. Continue reading "Scientists keep a secret discovery of the century"

Mysterious and Inexplicable power of the name of the fate of people has noticed since ancient times. In Russia, for example, up to the 17th century, carefully concealed the true parents of the child's name that was given to him by the sacrament of baptism. It was believed that the way it was possible to deceive the evil spirits and evil men .. In Turkey, Azerbaijan and the baby was given two names – one of these names were not significant, more real: the impact is the same as us, with the hope to protect the baby from evil men. Some nations give kids obviously a terrible name – Son of sluts, Wolf Tail, and so forth, trying to protect them from bad things.

External Sector: International Trade, Balance of Payments and Exchange Rate

Demand Led Growth and Export Led Growth
International trade is considered as a special case of inter-regional trade. When different nations trade goods and services among them, it is called international trade. Today there is a common understanding among economists and policy makers that trade enhances income, output and employment. It finally raises the standard of living. Free trade optimizes the resource use at international level. It allows consumers to get best quality products at lower prices. International trade offers competition to local products, leading to improved research and development, thereby improving the product quality and choices available to consumers. Protection through tariff or quantitative restrictions is considered inefficient except in case of "fledgling industry argument" and "deindustrialization" argument. If local industries are nascent and weak and foreign competition can destroy local industries, protection as a policy may be legitimately resorted to. Even the WTO provisions allow import restriction in case a country is running unsustainable trade deficit or balance of payments crisis.
Autarky, protection and free trade
Among many, there are two prominent models of economic growth- "Domestic Demand led growth" and "Export led growth." Domestic demand led growth is also known as import substitution strategy of growth. The erstwhile Soviet Union model was based on a closed economic model or what is called autarky (self sufficient economy) without international trade or at best trading with the communist countries only. The newly independent economies like India which got freedom in 1950s and 1960s also opted for import substitution strategy or strategy for self reliance due to bitter experience of drain of wealth during the colonial past. These economies resorted to various protectionist measures like high customs duty wall or quantitative restrictions. There were more compelling reasons initially to adopt a strategy of self reliance, import substitution and protection, but it had its own costs for these economies. These economies failed to take advantage of international trade as an engine of growth.
In the last five decades of global economic scenario, it is amply clear that those economies which opened up initially like USA, west European countries and Japan in post second world war period or which opened up later like South Korea in 1967 and China in 1979 gained much in income, output and employment and those who kept themselves closed to international trade could not sustain high growth rate, even if they recorded some growth initially from import substitution.
In the decades of 1980s and 1990s, the eastern tigers (so called for high economic growth) like Japan, South Korea, Singapore and even Thailand were praised for their export-led growth. Free trade and their integration of the global economies were cited as the most important reasons for their rapid economic growth. After opening in the 1979, China for example, also opened up to the world in a large way and it pursued the strategy of export-led growth through a cluster approach of industrialization giving emphasis to development of manufacturing sector through a variety of incentives in its Special Economic Zones. China along with the east Asian countries and USA & west European countries became the manufacturing hub of the world and produced exportable surplus that enhanced their GDP, employment and foreign exchange reserves. Later these economies also became preferred investment destinations as well. Eventually these economies were able to take advantage of international trade as an engine of growth.
The winds in the global economy have changed. As things stand after the sub-prime crisis in the US in 2007-08 and sovereign debt crisis in Europe in 2010, finally taking the shape of a global financial crisis and recession, protectionist wave engulfed the developed world giving a great jolt to free trade. Multilateral trading system led by the WTO started losing its trust and appeal especially among the developed countries, which were behind the birth of globalization, free trade and multilateralism. It is an irony that today it is these economies which are adopting various protectionist measure and trying to scuttle the WTO negotiations.
Is international trade an engine of growth?
There are different schools of thought in economics with different views on reasons, but all of them agree on one point that trade is gainful. However, all these schools have certain assumptions under which trade is gainful. The assumptions, however, were refined over time to bring theoretical analysis closer to reality. Here are the theories of international trade:
Trade is gainful to participants. The Mercantilist school, born in the U.K., believed that trade is the means of economic growth, but only if exports are kept higher than imports (what we call positive balance of trade).The idea of gain from trade was accepted by subsequent economist, but the idea of maintaining net exporter positive was found logically inconsistent? How can all trading countries maintain a positive balance of trade?
Absolute Advantage Theory of International Trade
Adam Smith, the father of modern market economics, propounded that international trade is beneficial for the trading countries as well as for optimization of resource uses. He propounded the classical theory of international trade wherein he argued that every country has some absolute advantage in production of some commodities due to specialization or availability of natural resources. According to absolute advantage theory a country should export the commodity in which has absolute advantage and import that commodity in which it has absolute disadvantage. The idea of trade being a means of economic gains was accepted, but a question remained unanswered- that is what if country A has absolute advantage in production of both commodity X and Y as against country B, will trade still be beneficial for both countries A and B. Adam Smith's theory failed to answer. Other flaw of Adam Smith's theory was that it was based on the labour theory of value (no. of labour hours required to produce one unit of a commodity), and he did not account for the other factors of production.
Comparative Advantage Theory of International Trade
Ricardo removed the problem in the theory of Absolute advantage by theorizing that it is not absolute advantage, but the comparative advantage that gives birth to gain from international trade. A country should in case of lack of absolute advantage in any commodity can still trade and gain. Such a country should compare its disadvantages in production in X and Y commodity with another country and its absolute disadvantage is less in X, it should keep on producing X whereas it should import Y in which its absolute disadvantage is bigger. Overall, the country would enjoy comparative advantage and optimum use of resource, than what would have been without international trade.
The absolute advantage and comparative advantage theories are called classical theories of international trade.
Modern Theory of International Trade
Heckscher –Ohlin, Swedish economists gave factor endowment theory of international trade, wherein they explained why comparative advantage arises, and how it leads to specialization in of a country in production of that commodity which uses its abundant factor and what are the consequences of international trade. They assumed perfect competition and constant technology and factor intensity of production. With these assumptions they mathematically proved that a country would enjoy comparative advantage if it specializes in production of the commodity that uses its abundant factor and imports that commodity that it uses its scarce factor. From this logic India should specialize in the production of labour intensive products while import capital intensive products and just the opposite incase of the US. These economists concluded that if free trade takes place there would be a tendency of factor and product price equalization in the world.
Leontief Paradox
Leontief's paradox in economics is that a country with a higher capital per worker has a lower capital/labor ratio in exports than in imports. This econometric find was the result of Wassily W. Leontief's attempt to test the Heckscher–Ohlin theory ("H–O theory") empirically. In 1953, Leontief found that the United States—the most capital-abundant country in the world—exported commodities that were more labor-intensive than capital-intensive, contrary to H-O theory. Leontief inferred from this result that the U.S. should adapt its competitive policy to match its economic realities. Later the supporters of Heckscher-Ohlin said that Leonteif paradox may be explained by the fact thet labour force in the US is not labour but human capital due to investment in nutrition and skill. Further some of them said that technology does not remain constant overtime and as technology changes, factor intensity (in what proportion factors would be mixed) also changes.
Immiserazing growth
Immiserizing growth is a theoretical situation first proposed by Jagdish Bhagwati, in 1958, where economic growth could result in a country being worse off than before the growth. If growth is heavily export biased it might lead to a fall in the terms of trade of the exporting country. In rare circumstances this fall in the terms of trade may be so large as to outweigh the gains from growth. If so, this situation would cause a country to be worse off after growth than before. Such a case may arise in primary product exporters including agro-exports, mineral/oil and metals exports and other food products. The countries producing industrial/manufactured products enjoy a better term of trade because of innovation, packaging and varying control over the product supplies and prices.
Beggar thy neighbor policy
In economics, a beggar-thy-neighbour policy is an economic policy through which one country attempts to remedy its economic problems by means that tend to worsen the economic problems of other countries. Beggar thy neighbor often refers to international trade policy that benefits the country that enacted it, while harming its neighbors or trade partners. The term is widely credited to the philosopher and economist Adam Smith, who used the term in The Wealth of Nations, in a critique of mercantilism and protectionist trade policies. Smith saw mercantilism, and its zero-sum understanding of the market, encouraging nations to beggar each other in order to increase economic gain, as misguided; instead, he believed that free trade would lead to long-term economic growth that was not zero-sum, but would actually increase the wealth of—you guessed it—all nations.
Beggar thy neighbor policies came about, originally, as a policy solution to domestic depression and high unemployment rates. The basic idea is to increase the demand for a nation's exports, while reducing reliance on imports. This means driving consumption of domestic goods up, as opposed to consumption of imports. This is usually achieved with some kind of trade barrier—tariffs or quotas—, or competitive devaluation, in order to lower the price of exports and drive employment and the price of imports up.
The term was coined in 1977 by The Economist to describe the decline of the manufacturing sector in the Netherlands after the discovery of the large Groningen natural gas field in 1959. Dutch disease is the negative impact on an economy of anything that gives rise to a sharp inflow of foreign currency, such as the discovery of large oil reserves. The currency inflows lead to currency appreciation, making the country's other products less price competitive on the export market. In economics, the Dutch disease is the apparent causal relationship between the increase in the economic development of a specific sector (for example natural resources) and a decline in other sectors (like the manufacturing sector or agriculture). It may be explained as a process in which sudden increase in exports of a commodity produced in country leads to increase in revenues in the growing sector (or inflows of foreign aid), which in turn leads to appreciation of the given nation's currency compared to currencies of other nations (manifest in an exchange rate). This results in the nation's other exports becoming more expensive for other countries to buy, and imports becoming cheaper, making those sectors less competitive. While it most often refers to natural resource discovery, it can also refer to "any development that results in a large inflow of foreign currency, including a sharp surge in natural resource prices, foreign assistance, and foreign direct investment".
Generally free trade brings gains for all participating countries, but this should be accepted with certain reservations. There are different levels of industrialization and development, different levels of technological progress and different sizes and variations in location, fertility of soil and natural resources. All these factors have a bearing on gains from international trade. Therefore we can say that international trade is an engine of growth, but with certain caveats and cautions.
Balance of payments is an annual account of economic transactions/exchanges of a country with the rest of the world. Economic transactions between two or more countries pertain to flow of goods, services and capital among them. Balance of payments accounts is divided broadly in two accounts—(1) Current Account and (2) Capital Account.
The current account of the balance of payments presents accounts of export and import of goods and services by a country during a year (accounts may be prepared on quarterly/half yearly basis as well). The current account is further divided into two parts—(1) Visibles or Merchandise account, which presents accounts of export and import of goods only and (2) Invisibles, which present an account of export and import of services only (transport & communication like shipping and air services, banking, insurance, software services and IT Enabled Services, BPO services, consultancy etc.) during a year. Thus the current account presents accounts of exchanges (export and import) of both goods and services of a country with the rest of the world.
Capital Account
This is part of the balance of payments accounts for inflow and outflow of capital from a country or to a foreign country due to trade surplus/deficit, external loans (public and private both) and foreign investment (both portfolio or financial investment and foreign direct investment or foreign investment in directly productive activities). Foreign Exchange Reserves of a country is part of its capital account. Sovereign (government) or Commercial Market Borrowing (private) and lending are accounted for in the capital account. Likewise inflow and outflow of foreign investment- both financial (portfolio investment) and foreign direct investment (real investment) are also part of capital account. Broadly, the inflow and outflow in the capital account may be categorized as "debt capital flow" e.g. loans and borrowings or "non-debt capital flow", e.g. foreign investment.
Balance of Payments, balance of current accounts and balance of trade
Balance of payments is the overall record of all economic transactions of a country with the rest of the world. Balance of trade is the difference in the value of exports and imports of only visible items. Balance of trade includes imports and exports of goods alone i.e., visible items. Balance of current Accounts is equal to balance of trade plus net invisibles.
Balance of Payments = Balance of current account + Balance of capital account
Balance of Trade = Value of export of Goods —- Value of import of goods
Current account balance = Balance of Trade + Net invisibles, where net invisibles are equal to export of invisibles minus import of invisibles
When all components of the BoP accounts are included they must sum to zero with no overall surplus or deficit. For example, if a country is importing more than it exports, its trade balance will be in deficit, but the shortfall will have to be counterbalanced in other ways – such as by funds earned from its foreign investments, by running down currency reserves or by receiving loans from other countries. While the overall BoP accounts will always balance when all types of payments are included, imbalances are possible on individual elements of the BoP, such as the current account, the capital account excluding the central bank's reserve account, or the sum of the two. Imbalances in the latter sum can result in surplus countries accumulating wealth, while deficit nations become increasingly indebted.
International trade payments are done with the use of foreign currency, especially currencies categorized as "hard currencies" which are internationally accepted as means of payment due to their relatively stable exchange rate and purchasing capacity. The prominent hard currencies include US dollar, Euro, the British Pound Sterling, Japanese Yen, Chinese Yuan and Canadian Dollar etc. On the other hand there are "soft currencies" whose exchange rates fluctuate and these are not accepted in all foreign trade transactions a means of payments, for example, Russian Ruble, Indian Rupee and currencies of other emerging or developing countries. Petro dollar is dollar earned by petroleum exporting countries whereas Euro dollar refers to dollar deposited in European banks.
Types of exchange rates
Fixed Exchange Rate
A fixed exchange rate, sometimes called a pegged exchange rate, is a type of exchange rate regime where a currency's value is fixed against either the value of another single currency, to a basket of other currencies, or to another measure of value, such as gold. In post first world war period, a fixed exchange rate system prevailed which was called the "Gold Standard" in which all the currencies determined their values against gold (particular amount of gold per dollar for example) and gold being common denominator, cross exchange rates among different currencies could be easily determined. After the creation of theIMF the world still continued to follow a fixed exchange rate called "pegged exchange rate" wherein all the currencies were pegged against dollar, but the US dollar was pegged against gold.
There are benefits and risks to using a fixed exchange rate. A fixed exchange rate is typically used in order to stabilize the value of a currency by directly fixing its value in a predetermined ratio to a different, more stable or more internationally prevalent currency (or currencies), to which the value is pegged. In doing so, the exchange rate between the currency and its peg does not change based on market conditions, the way floating currencies do. This makes trade and investments between the two currency areas easier and more predictable, and is especially useful for small economies, economies which borrow primarily in foreign currency, and in which external trade forms a large part of their GDP.
Under a fixed exchange rate system, the central bank accommodates those flows by buying up any net inflow of funds into the country or by providing foreign currency funds to the foreign exchange market to match any international outflow of funds, thus preventing the funds flows from affecting the exchange rate between the country's currency and other currencies. Then the net change per year in the central bank's foreign exchange reserves is sometimes called the balance of payments surplus or deficit.
Floating Exchange Rate
A floating exchange rate (also called a fluctuating or flexible exchange rate) is a type of exchange-rate regime in which a currency's value is allowed to fluctuate in response to foreign-exchange market mechanisms, i.e., relative demand and supply of currencies. A currency that uses a floating exchange rate is known as a floating currency. A floating currency is contrasted with a fixed currency whose value is tied to that of another currency, material goods or to a currency basket.
Full float means a currency's value is determined totally by market mechanism, whereas managed float means that although a currency's value is determined by the market forces generally, the central bank of the concerned country may intervene to influence exchange rate. Managed float is also called dirty float.
In the modern world, most of the world's currencies are floating; such currencies include the most widely traded currencies: the United States dollar, the Swiss Franc, the Indian rupee, the euro, the Japanese yen, the British pound, and the Australian dollar. However, central banks often participate in the markets to attempt to influence the value of floating exchange rates. The Canadian dollar most closely resembles a pure floating currency, because the Canadian central bank has not interfered with its price since it officially stopped doing so in 1998. The US dollar runs a close second, with very little change in its foreign reserves; in contrast, Japan and the UK intervene to a greater extent, whereas India has seen medium range intervention by its central bank, the Reserve Bank of India.
From 1946 to the early 1970s, the Bretton Woods system made fixed currencies the norm; however, in 1971, the US decided no longer to uphold the dollar exchange at 1/35th of an ounce of gold, so that the currency was no longer fixed. After the 1973 Smithsonian Agreement, most of the world's currencies followed suit. However
In a managed float, some changes of exchange rates are allowed while in a purely floating exchange rate (also known as a purely flexible exchange rate), the exchange rate totally depends on market forces. With a pure float the central bank does not intervene at all to protect or devalue its currency, allowing the rate to be set by the market, and the central bank's foreign exchange reserves do not change, and the balance of payments is always zero.
Nominal, real and real effective exchange rates
Nominal exchange rate is market exchange rate without adjusting inflation with respect to currencies in question whereas real exchange rate in exchange rate adjusted for inflation with respect to currencies in question. The real effective exchange rate is reasl exchange rate of a currency with its trading partners' currency.
Exchange rate theories
For the determination of the par values of different currencies, alternative theoretical explanations have been given. There are following popular theories in this regard:
The Mint Parity Theory:
The earliest theory of foreign exchange has been the mint parity theory. This theory was applicable for those countries which had the same metallic standard (gold or silver). Under the gold standard, countries had their standard currency unit either of gold or it was freely convertible into gold of a given purity.
The Purchasing Power Parity Theory:
The purchasing power parity theory enunciates the determination of the rate of exchange between two inconvertible paper currencies. Although this theory can be traced back to Wheatley and Ricardo, yet the credit for developing it in a systematic way has gone to the Swedish economist Gustav Cassel.
This theory states that the equilibrium rate of exchange is determined by the equality of the purchasing power of two inconvertible paper currencies. It implies that the rate of exchange between two inconvertible paper currencies is determined by the internal price levels in two countries.
The Balance of Payments Theory:
The balance of payments theory of exchange rate maintains that rate of exchange of the currency of one country with the other is determined by the factors which are autonomous of internal price level and money supply. It emphasises that the rate of exchange is influenced, in a significant way, by the balance of payments position of a country.
A deficit in the balance of payments of a country signifies a situation in which the demand for foreign exchange (currency) exceeds the supply of it at a given rate of exchange. The demand for foreign exchange arises from the demand for foreign goods and services. The supply of foreign exchange, on the contrary, arises from the supply of goods and services by the home country to the foreign country.
The Monetary Approach to Rate of Exchange:
In contrast with the BOP theory of foreign exchange, in which the rate of exchange is determined by the flow of funds in the foreign exchange market, the monetary approach postulates that the rates of exchange are determined through the balancing of the total demand and supply of the national currency in each country.
According to this approach, the demand for money depends upon the level of real income, the general price level and the rate of interest. The demand for money is the direct function of the real income and the level of prices. On the other hand, it is an inverse function of the rate of interest. As regards, the supply of money, it is determined autonomously by the monetary authorities of different countries.
The Portfolio Balance Approach:
In view of the deficiencies in the monetary approach, some writers have attempted to explain the determination of exchange rate through the portfolio balance approach which is more realistic than the monetary approach.
The portfolio balance approach brings trade explicitly into the analysis for determining the rate of exchange. It considers the domestic and foreign financial assets such as bonds to be imperfect substitutes. The essence of this approach is that the exchange rate is determined in the process of equilibrating or balancing the demand for and supply of financial assets out of which money is only one form of asset.
To start with, this approach postulates that an increase in the supply of money by the home country causes an immediate fall in the rate of interest. It leads to a shift in the asset portfolio from domestic bonds to home currency and foreign bonds. The substitution of foreign bonds for domestic bonds results in an immediate depreciation of home currency. This depreciation, over time, causes an expansion in exports and reduction in imports.
It leads to the appearance of a trade surplus and consequent appreciation of home currency, which offsets part of the original depreciation. Thus the portfolio balance approach explains also exchange over-shooting. This explanation, in contrast to the monetary approach, brings in trade explicitly into the adjustment process in the long run.

Barcelona's Star man and 5 times footballer of the year , Lionel Messi has been announced by the Forbes Media as the highest earning athlete for the year 2019.
According to statistics released by Forbes, Messi earned $127 million dollars from endorsement deals and salaries.
Behind Messi is longtime rival Cristiano Ronaldo (No. 2), who earned $109 million between his salary and endorsements. Serena Williams (No. 63) returned to the ranking, after no women appeared in 2018.
Cost of admission to the 2019 list is the highest ever at $25 million, up $2.1 million from the previous year. Endorsement income experienced an increase of 12.5% to $987 million this year.
"The global impact of soccer is clearly reflected in earnings in 2019, with the top three athletes on the list being Messi, Ronaldo, and Neymar.
But basketball players continue to dominate the top 100 overall with 35 athletes on the list earning a total of $1.29 billion, with 72% of that income coming from salaries rather than endorsement deals." said Kurt Badenhausen, senior editor, Forbes Media.
The list of elite athletes consists of players from ten different sports. NBA stars lead with 35 basketball players among the top 100, down from 40 in 2018, headed by LeBron James (No. 8 with $89 million).
Football was the next most-represented sport with 19 players, followed by baseball with 15, and soccer with 12.

Fall Pennsylvania Wedding // October in Pennsylvania holds some of my fondest moments. The leaves are starting to change, the humidity has gone away, and there's a fresh crispness in the air. Emily + Kyle's wedding was held at The Farm At Eagles Ridge, one of my favorites venues in Lancaster County. I've been friends with Kyle for a bit, and it was great to reconnect on his wedding day. The details of their day were perfect, accompanied by sincere intention and love from all their closest friends and family. Overwhelmingly thankful to photograph couples like them, and to work at locations like this. Thank you for viewing!

How to make homemade tractor
Even such a complex machine, like a tractor, you can try to construct with their hands. Although homemade machine inferior to brand machines, but it has undeniable advantages. And the main one is accessibility.

How to make a tractor from motoblock
Decide the model of the future tractor and make the necessary drawings. Examples of such technical creativity here: http://www.pan-as.ru/load/samodelnye_traktora_chertezhi/10-1-0-868 and here: http://samodelniy.ru/kak-sdelat-traktor. On these sites you will see drawings of the major parts and appearance of the resulting design.
Pick up the necessary parts and tools. By construction, mechanics Simonov, the gearbox can be taken from the truck GAS-53, the clutch mechanism from the car GAS-52. The front wheels of this design were taken from the GAZ-69, other details – various models of cars. Decide what is available to you and gather all the main parts.
Proceed to the manufacture of the frame. Welded symmetrical frame can be made from stock metal. In particular, Simonov used the channel No. 10 channel No. 12 channel No. 16 and a metal pipe to make two side members and a cross member. The frame of the cab floor can be welded of a tube with a rectangular cross-section 60x40 mm. Assemble the chassis of the tractor on the frame: install the power unit, transmission front and rear axle with wheels. As the power unit it is possible to use a diesel engine, for example, with the Bulgarian loader.
Attach the engine to the clutch basket and plug the transmission. Note that when connecting components of different types of machines will certainly have to make any design improvements. It all depends on attention to detail and your ability. Examples of Assembly of the chassis of a homemade tractor: http://mini-traktor.masteraero.ru/minitraktor-4.php.
Decide on the type of steering. Simonov offers to make it hydraulic as it works only when the engine and much easier to use than mechanical. Insert the glass in the cockpit, attach the door, which can be taken from another tractor. Equip the wiring using the diagram, for example, from the tractor T-40. Complement the instrument panel, install lights and signal lights.
Remember that homemade design must pass a state inspection and to obtain a registration number. Without that to start working not.

I do get your point - you are correct, few people really need that many MPs, even 24MP is overkill for the vast majority. Imagine what a 12MP modern sensor could do with huge photosites. Plus, those big files require big processing power - I have a rig that would have been considered a supercomputer not that long ago....it does get ridiculous. However, with the much higher MPs the AA filters are finally coming off and the risk or moire declines just like it did for MF sensors- so I guess it become a pick your poison proposition.
