Помимо основной группы имеет сайд-проект под названием «Austrian Death Machine», в котором является мульти-инструменталистом. Также он основал дэт-метал-группу под названием «Pyrithion» и играл на гитаре в «Society's Finest and Point of Recognition».

Тим был судьёй в 8-й и 10-й ежегодной Independent Music Awards для поддержки карьеры независимых артистов.

Биография

Родился Тим в Финиксе, но потом переехал в Сан-Диего. Он третий из четырёх братьев. Его родители имеют свою компанию в Карлсбаде.

Ламбезис является культуристом и на сайте YouTube открыл свой собственный канал по фитнесу. Его татуировки включают в себя «распятие Иисуса» и киборга Арнольда Шварценеггера, рыб Кои, плывущих вверх по течению, которое представляет собой поиски смысла и исполнения, письма на иврите, крест Иисуса Христа в облаках, сражающегося тигра-самурая, который представляет собой борьбу между разумом и инстинктом.

Тим имеет свой сайд-проект «Austrian Death Machine», эта группа целиком основана на фильмах Арнольда Шварценеггера. Тим известен своим скримом, на который оказали влияние такие группы, как «Living Sacrifice» и «At the Gates». Также он играет на всех инструментах. Тим является менеджером группы «Destroy the Runner». Он спродюсировал все альбомы «As I Lay Dying», а также два альбома «Sworn Enemy», «The Beginning Of The End» и «Maniacal».

Был женат на Мегган Ламбезис с 2004 года. Они расстались спустя восемь лет. Пара воспитывала троих приемных детей, усыновленных в Эфиопии.

Ранее Ламбезис заявил несколько раз, что он христианин. В августе 2010 во время интервью на радио «The Full Armor of God Broadcast» Ламбезис сказал: «Я могу писать только о том, чем я действительно увлекаюсь в жизни, поэтому моя вера в учение Иисуса и его воскресение встречается в наших текстах». Он был описан как «последователь Иисуса».

Начиная с 2012 года Ламбезис сделал несколько заявлений, указывающих на изменение религиозных убеждений: в почте на своей персональной странице Tumblr он объяснил часть лирики с альбома AILD Awakened, выпущенного в сентябре 2012. Ламбезис заявил, что его учения богословию привели его к выводу, что «традиция и правда часто расходятся друг с другом». Хотя он отметил, что он «не ненавидел все религиозные убеждения» и был «по-прежнему вдохновлен словами [Иисуса]», он находил их «очень трудными» и относился к «богу, традиций и ритуалу, в котором он вырос и все меньше и меньше вероятной истины». Он также процитировал книгу Языческие христианства Джорджа Барны и Фрэнка Виолы, отметив, что обе «протестантских и католических конфессий имеют ядовитые корни».

В августе 2012 года Ламбезис отправил письмо своей жене Мегган Мёрфи Ламбезис, в котором заявил, что больше не любит её и «больше не верит в Бога»<ref>Affairs Alleged in Christian Metal Singer's Murder-for-Hire Case . NBC-7 San Diego. Accessed 27 Feb 14. "In an email sent in August, Lambesis told his wife he had been having an affair and no longer loved her the prosecutor said in court. 'He also told her he no longer believes in God," Grasso said.'"</ref>. В том же месяце они расстались. В сентябре 2012 она подала документы о расторжении брака в верховный суд Сан-Диего в соответствии с онлайн базой данных суда. В заявлении о разводе Мегган заявила, что Ламбезис был одержим бодибилдингом, проводя «бесконечное время в тренажёрном зале» и тратил впустую «тысячи долларов на татуировки». Она также утверждала, что он стал «опасно отвлекаться» во время присмотра за детьми, в том числе он засыпал, когда они играли в бассейне, и взял две горящие путёвки в штат Флорида, чтобы увидеть внебрачную подругу. Вне гастролей Ламбезис жил в Дель Мар, Калифорнии. Мегган и её дети живут в Энсинитасе.

В мае 2013 года Тим был задержан по обвинению в подготовке убийства своей жены. Об этом сообщает Reuters. Как рассказали журналистам в полиции Сан-Диего, правоохранительным органам стало известно, что 32-летний музыкант замыслил убийство Меган Ламбезис. Полиция отправила к Тиму своего агента под прикрытием, который изображал киллера. Певец передал «убийце» конверт с тысячей долларов, фото его жены и информацию о том, где её можно найти. Вскоре Тим был арестован и провел в заключении 48 дней до того, как суд согласился выпустить его под залог в 3 миллиона долларов пока велось расследование. Ему было запрещено покидать границы штата, а также приближаться к семье. В связи с этим ему пришлось постоянно носить специальный браслет с GPS-чипом. Судебные слушания начались в сентябре 2013 года, Ламбезису грозило 9-летнее тюремное заключение. Изначально он отрицал свою вину, адвокаты же настаивали на том, что злоупотребление стероидами заставило его пойти на преступление. Однако в феврале 2014 года Ламбезис признал вину, заявив, что мотивом планируемого преступления было нежелание терять 60% своей прибыли в случае развода. В мае 2014 года Ламбезис был приговорен к 6 годам лишения свободы.

 Арест

9 мая 2013 года Ламбезис отрицал свою вину и был отпущен под залог в 3 миллиона долларов и был признан «опасным для общества». Товарищи по группе и представители Metal Blade Records, а также группа адвоката Яна Фридмана присутствовали на заседании. Согласно данным окружного прокурора, была сделана запись сделки между Ламбезисом и детективом под прикрытием. Конференция состоялась 10 июня 2013 года, и предварительная дата суда была назначена на 10 июля 2013 года. В течение месяца Ламбезис считал себя невиновным, и его адвокат заявил: «его мыслительные процессы убийственно влияли на него в связи с использованием стероидов». 17 мая 2013 было проведено новое слушание, на котором адвокат Том Уорвик снизил сумму залога с 3 миллионов до 2 миллионов долларов, которых в то время не было у Ламбезиса. Ламбезис в тюрьме якобы страдал из-за отмены стероидов, и 30 мая был выпущен на свободу под залог.

25 февраля 2014 года Ламбезис признал свою вину, ему грозит до 9 лет лишения свободы. Суд состоялся 2 мая, но оглашение приговора было отложено до 16 мая.

16 мая 2014 года Тим Ламбезис был приговорен к шести годам лишения свободы. На оглашении приговора присутствовали все участники As I Lay Dying.

Помимо этого, Ламбезису будет в течение 10 лет запрещёно приближаться к Меган и её трём, усыновлённым вместе с Тимом, детям.

9 февраля 2017 года был амнистирован и досрочно освобожден.

Add a hand crafted Yo Yo pillow to bring in a old time Country look. It is 13" by 16" with pink on the back and background under the Yo Wyo's. They are only in the front and one at each corner on the back. There are a 124 Yo Wyo's in mini pink roses. Also would be good for a shabby country decor.

THE WORKS' EMPLOYES
By an English Girl, in Russia Regarding the regular workmen employed in facto¬ ries in Russia, I will say that a large percentage of these are "Mujiks" (peasants), wheat the age of ten to fifteen years, leave their own native village and go to some town to learn a trade, and the generality of them stay away from their villages for good. But they very seldom give up their village home completely. Their families remain there and though very seldom, they see their parents, wife or children two or three times a year
An Open Way at the Lubertzy, Russia Works
on holidays such as Christmas, Easter and the local village holiday. Sometimes they only go home for the local village holiday which they think a great deal of. The origin of this holiday is as follows: Every village does not have a church, but there will be one church for a ceitain group of villages and the patron saint of this church is honored. Nearly all the men who are out working try to go home for this holiday. On this day there is generally a fair in the village with merry- go-rounds and other different kinds of amusements. This holiday is looked forward to with great expecta¬ tion from one year's end to another. For instance the local holiday of Lubertzy is celebrated from the 6- 19th, to the 15 - 28th, August. The reason of this is that the Lubertzy church has two patron saints, so both days are kept up. But because they are so near one another the  festivities last this length of time.
The families of these workmen remain in the villages. All the members of one family live together in one house, which is about twenty-eight feet square, and in such a small house about seven or eight people live. Some of the people keep a cow, a horse, or pig or hens, but it all depends upon their means. The food is black bread made from rye flour, potatoes, cabbage, onions, sometimes cucumbers, and buckwheat, out of which they make a kind of pudding. They never eat meat in any other way than boiled in the soup, and they also drink very weak tea. If the village is situated near a town, then the people have a chance to make money by selling milk, cream and eggs, which they will carry to the markets in the town. The food of the average workman who lives away from home is about the same. Not much different from American work¬ men except in the color of the bread.
Besides these workmen, there is another class which are called citizens. In Russia, citizens are those who live in towns and do not own any ground in the village. These two classes of workmen form the regular men who are employed in different factories and mills all over Russia. But apart from these there is still another class of workmen, such as carpenters, masons, painters, etc., who work for contractors. These men only work a certain season in the year, some during the summer months only and others during the winter months only. Those who work in the summer go home in the fall and do nothing all the winter.    The others work all the
summer on their farms and then go out for hire in the winter. As soon as the time comes for these men to go home they leave their work and will not stay away from home any longer, so that if a contractor has not got his work completed by that time he has to engage an entirely new gang of men to finish the work. These are generally hired by the contractor for the whole season for a certain sum, besides which he has to sup¬ ply them with their board and lodging. While these men are working for the contractor they get paid a little money every so often, just as much as they may require, and then the balance is paid to them at the end of the contract, and it is upon this money that they live in the villages the remaining part of the year.
Most of the workmen who are employed in our factory and live in Lubertzy hire a corner of a room to live in, and for this corner they have to pay rather a high rent, owing to the fact that bouses are scarce in Lubertzy, as the population has greatly increased this last year or two. To our knowledge 128 new houses have been built recently, and there are about forty more ill course of construction; but still there is room and need for many more, and that is the reason that rent is very high. Those men who occupy a corner of a room are not always able to get their meals in the same house and have to get them elsewhere. A large number of our workmen are peasants from the surrounding villages, situated from two to five miles away. These men have to leave their homes in the morning and they do not return home again till in the evening. At noon, during the dinner hour, they go outside the factory yard and eat what they have brought with them. Sometimes they'will go into a tea-house and have some tea with their lunch.
In regard to recreation in the village of Lubertzy, I will say that little of the kind exists. A few days ago the first cinematograph was opened, which 1 should think ought to be well attended. Sundays and holi¬ days are mostly spent in tea-houses. Some men will occasionally buy a pajier and read the news to the others. Education in Russia is not compulsory, and therefore not all the villages have schools. It is only those villages that have a church that have also a small school. In the village of Lubertzy we have two schools, but even that is insufficient for every child to attend.
"These," said the man in new shoes, as he walked across the cobbly street, "are the ways that try men's soles."

Q: Why is this wrong (complex numbers and proving 1=-1)? $$(e^{2πi})^{1/2}=1^{1/2}$$$$(e^{πi})=1$$ $$-1=1$$ I think it is due to not taking the principle value but please can someone explain why this is wrong in detial, thanks.

A: You used two different branches of the function $x^{\frac{1}{2}}$.
Note that even in exponential form $(e^{x})^\frac{1}{2}$ has two different branches: $e^{\frac{x}{2}}$ and $e^{\frac{x}{2}+\frac{2 \pi i}{2}}$.

A: You basically claimed
$$ \sqrt{(-1)^2} = \sqrt{(1)^2} \quad \Rightarrow \quad -1 = 1 $$
but the square root is not a map, i.e. $\sqrt{a}$ can have multiple solutions. In particular, it is not the inverse of $x^2$.

Noah Fant New Contract 2022 Details Explained
Noah Fant New Contract 2022 Details Explained: As per the latest report, After free agency and the National Football League (NFL) draft, Denver Broncos general manager George Parton had to make a decision on Noah Fant. Fant was a 1st-round pick in the year 2019, so he is eligible for a 5th-year option for the 2023 season worth $6.657 million, as per OverTheCap.com. He is presently entering the final year of a 4-year, $12,590, 728 rookie contract that includes a $7,176,892 signing bonus. The deadline to exercise the option of Fant is the 2nd of May, and the Broncos are not in a hurry to make a decision but they do want him to be a part of the team going forward. Follow More Update On Princekallz.com
Payton said on Tuesday (8th March 2022) at the NFL Combine that "We still have some time. Noah is a very talented player and we want to keep him here for a long time." If Fant goes to the Pro Bowl in one of his first 3 seasons, the year 2023 option would be $9.332 million (a nod over the Pro Bowl would increase to $10,834 million). If Fant has lesser than 50% of his offensive steals since the year 2019, his option would be $6.253 million.
Noah Fant contract 2022
Under his present contract, if the Broncos exercise his option, Fant will become the 13th-highest-paid tight end in the year 2023. Whereas Fant did not quite live up to the expectations of some admirers, it was not a bad number for a player who was 6th in receptions and 10th in yards last season. Fant had 170 receptions for around 1,095 yards and 10 touchdowns in his first 3 years in the NFL (47 games). In the year 2021, Fant comes up in 16 matches for the Broncos and caught around 68 out of 90 targets for 670 yards and 4 touchdowns.

The young men who publicly accused Bishop Eddie Long of sexual coercion may have violated the confidentiality terms of their legal settlement.
Attorneys representing outspoken anti-gay pastor Eddie Long have informed three of the five young men who accused him of sexual coercion that they intend to recover their financial settlement money, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Long leads Atlanta's New Birth Missionary Baptist Church and has consistently denied allegations that he coerced young men into sexual relationships. However, last year he settled an out-of-court lawsuit with five of his accusers that was reportedly $300,000. Long's new quest to win back his settlement money is based on the fact that four of the accusers have spoken out to local TV news reporters and newspapers, violating the terms of a confidentiality agreement outlined in the settlement.
Jamal Parris and Spencer LeGrande, two of Long's alleged victims who have spoken to the media, acknowledged the risks in an August interview with a local news channel in Atlanta.
The letter, sent this week by the Atlanta law firm Drew Eckl & Farnham, alleges that Jamal Parris, Spencer LeGrande and Centino Kemp violated terms of a confidentiality agreement outlined in the settlement with Long and New Birth Missionary Baptist Church.
The firm is seeking at least $900,000 already paid the three accusers, according to people involved in the settlement but not authorized to speak publicly. That figure is a portion of the total settlement with the three men.
Financial terms of that settlement have not been disclosed but, based on the letter and the fact each of the young men were paid equitably, the total comes to at least $1.5 million.
The letter outlines the plaintiffs' "demand for arbitration" though no legal documents have yet been filed.
The three men named in the letter have, at one point or another, mentioned they plan on writing a tell-all book that will reveal details of their relationship with Long. Since there are legal documents filed, some believe the letter sent to the three young men is a warning or a threat of what's to come if they go ahead with their plans to publish their stories.
Long and the men named in the letter have not released additional statements.

A new question about US citizenship will sabotage the census, civil rights groups say.
The 2020 census will include a question about US citizenship for the first time since 1950, the Commerce Department announced Monday night. Civil rights groups say the question will massively depress responses from immigrants fearful of deportation and could sabotage the entire census.
The move sets up a huge legal and political battle over one of the most important tasks mandated by the Constitution. California Attorney General Xavier Becerra and former US Attorney General Eric Holder have already announced their intention to sue the Trump administration over the new question. Democratic members of Congress have also said they will introduce legislation to block the new question.
But Vanita Gupta, who led the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division under President Barack Obama and is now president of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, told me, "Voting rights enforcement has never depended on having that question on the [census] form since the enactment of the Voting Rights Act. That's plainly a ruse to collect that data and ultimately to sabotage the census." The citizenship question, she noted, is already asked on the longer American Community Survey, which reaches roughly 13 percent of American households and is used to enforce civil rights laws.
The census, unlike the American Community Survey, determines how many congressional seats and electoral votes states receive, how voting districts are drawn, and how $675 billion in federal funding is allocated to states and localities. The 2010 census failed to count 1.5 million people of color, including 1.5 percent of Hispanics, 2.1 percent of African Americans, and 4.9 percent of Native Americans. If immigrant communities don't respond to the census for fear that it will be used to initiate deportation proceedings against them, the undercount of Latinos could grow much higher. That would deny federal resources and representation to areas with large Latino populations and shift economic and political power to whiter and more Republican areas. Internal focus groups conducted by the Census Bureau last year found that when it came to responding to the census, "fears, particularly among immigrant respondents, have increased markedly" under the Trump administration.
Five former directors of the Census Bureau, who served under presidents of both parties, told me they opposed the citizenship question.
In January and February, I interviewed Latino immigrants in five towns and cities in California's Central Valley, around the Fresno area, for a forthcoming Mother Jones feature about the census. When I asked them whether they'd respond to the census if it included a question about citizenship, virtually all of them said no.
Civil rights groups say the citizenship question will make it extremely difficult for them to convince Latino and other immigrant groups to respond to the 2020 census. "That will sabotage the entire census count, because it will make it virtually impossible to convince people to fill out the form and skyrocket the cost of the census," Arturo Vargas, executive director of NALEO and a member of a census advisory committee, told me in February. When people fail to respond to census forms, the Census Bureau must send employees out to knock on their doors—an expensive and labor-intensive process.
Some Republicans have proposed using the citizenship question to draw new legislative maps based on the number of citizens in a district rather than the total population. That would significantly diminish political representation for areas with large numbers of noncitizens. "A person whose very presence in the United States is illegal—and who may return home or be deported at any time—cannot be considered a resident of the district in any meaningful sense," Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, the former head of President Donald Trump's election integrity commission, wrote in Breitbart News in January.
"It would be a horrendous problem for the Census Bureau and create all kind of controversies," said Steve Murdock, who ran the census under George W. Bush.
The census has always counted "the whole number of persons in each State," as mandated by the Constitution, rather than just the number of citizens. In the 2016 case Evenwel v. Abbott, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that states should draw legislative maps based on total population, not the number of citizens in a district. "It remains beyond doubt that the principle of representational equality figured prominently in the decision to count people, whether or not they qualify as voters," wrote Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
ProPublica reported in early March that the citizenship question was requested by acting attorney general John Gore, "at the request of [Justice Department] leadership," according to one email ProPublica obtained.
Gore has a long history of supporting policies that have restricted voting rights and run afoul of the Voting Rights Act. At the Justice Department, he drafted briefs supporting Texas's voter ID law and voter purging in Ohio, both of which courts found violated federal voting rights laws. In private practice at the law firm Jones Day, he defended Republican redistricting efforts in several states, including in Virginia, whose electoral map courts later invalidated for racial gerrymandering. He also defended a voter purge in Florida that would have disproportionately removed voters of color from the rolls had it not been blocked by the courts.
The Trump administration, despite its stated interest in protecting the Voting Rights Act, hasn't filed a single suit to enforce the law, as most administrations typically do with regularity.
The 2020 census is already facing an array of problems, from a lack of full-time leadership to budget cuts to a reliance on untested new internet technology. The citizenship question will make the prospect of a failed census all the more real.

Ljubomir Vračarević (srp.: Љубомир Врачаревић; Varaždin 6. svibnja 1947. – Beograd, 18. studenog 2013.), srbijanski majstor borilačkih vještina. Nositelj je 10. Dana u aikidu, 8. Dana u ju-jutsu, 8. Dana u kinami-ryu aiki-jujutsu, 1. Dana u rukopasnom boju i 1. Dana u judo-u. Osnivač je škole Realni aikido.

Životopis

Ljubomir zvani Ljuba Vračarević je rođen u Varaždinu 1947. godine. Kada je Europa krajem 1960-ih otkrila aikido, Ljubomir Vračarević je bio među prvima koji ga počeli izučavati. Tijekom prvog usavršavanja u Japanu, 1978. godine, Vračarević boravi u Hombu dojo-u, kod doshu-a Kisshomaru Ueshibe. Vračarevic tada teži svome stilu rada, primjerenom njegovoj konstituciji, mentalitetu i tradiciji kojoj on pripada. Rad s vojnim i policijskim postrojbama tokom 1970-ih podstakao ga je da počne da usavršava na svoj način aikido, iz kojeg će nastati ono što se danas naziva Realni aikido.

Drugi boravak u Tokiju, 1993. godine u Yoshinkanu – školi Goze Shiode, potvrdio je Vračareviću ispravnost njegovog razmišljanja. lako je vježbao svoj "tvrdi" stil, na kraju boravka je doživio izuzetne počasti – susret sa Shiodom koji je već bio u dubokoj starosti i dobivanje diplome koju je Shioda osobno potpisao.

Međunarodnu reputaciju Vračarević je izgradio obučavajući policijske i vojne postrojbe, te službe osiguranja i tjelohranitelje više državnika. U toku svoje karijere održao je više od 250 seminara širom svijeta. Područje obučavanja kojoj je pridavao veliku pažnju je bio rad s djecom od 5 do 12 godina. Bio je profesor na Visokoj školi za šport u Beogradu, redovan član Ruske akademije znanosti o Zemlji i Internacionalne akademije za nacionalnu sigurnost. Takođe je bio nosilac drugih međunarodnih priznanja: tehnički ravnatelj Ruske asocijacije za Realni aikido, član Euro-Azijskog kyokushinkai komiteta, te počasni član MMA.

Međunarodna akademija za pitanja nacionalne sigurnosti Rusije, dodijelila mu je čin general-lajtant. U SAD-u je 2002. godine izabran za člana United States Martial Arts Hall of Fame. Na ceremoniji u United States Martial Arts Hall of Fame 9. kolovoza 2003. godine Ljubomiru Vračareviću je dodijeljeno najveće zvanje u borilačkim vještinama 10. Dan, kao tvorcu škole Realni aikido.

Umro je u Beogradu, 18. studenog 2013. godine.

Prijepori
Realni aikido je nastao iz aikida, izuzimanjem dobrog dijela tehnika, odbacivanjem oružja kakva su bokken i jo. Iako je i sam Ljubomir Vračarević, dok je vježbao Ueshibin aikido, u svojoj knjizi Aikido iz 1987. godine napisao, da ova oružja služe "da se dobro nauči sinkronizacija sopstvenih pokreta, da se nauči sinkronizacija s pokretima oponenta, da se uvježbaju brza kretanja, pa i da se shvate neki bazični principi aikida", iz nekog razloga je sam sebe kasnije pobio i odbacio boken i jo.

Zbog toga su se kretanje u Realnom aikidu počela poprilično razlikovati od onoga što predstavlja osnovu aikida. Osim toga, u Realni aikido su uključene i ju-jutsu tehnike, što je dovelo do brojnih kontroverzi kada je u pitanju škola, pa i samo njeno ime.

DENSO invests nearly $100 million in startups to advance mobility
DENSO has invested nearly $100 million over a four-year period in startup companies around the world as part of its long-term vision to provide software-based solutions focused on electrification, automated driving, connectivity and shared economy
DENSO, the world's second largest mobility supplier, has invested nearly $100 million over a four-year period in startup companies around the world as part of its long-term vision to provide software-based solutions focused on electrification, automated driving, connectivity and shared economy. From cyber security to semiconductors and sensors, DENSO is investing in startup companies working on key technologies that will play a major role in advancing mobility services that are safe, secure and efficient.
"DENSO has traditionally been self-sufficient with its R&D efforts. About five years ago, we realized that to keep pace with the predicted changes in the automotive industry and consumer demand, we needed to embrace an open innovation model that places equal importance on internal and external technology development in all product areas," said Tony Cannestra, Director of Corporate Ventures at DENSO. "DENSO used to be all about spark plugs and air conditioning units, and while those are still important products for us, we are focused on building a strong ecosystem of software, advanced hardware, and other mobility technologies to quickly and flexibly develop unique solutions that meet the needs of our customers, especially in EVs and autonomous driving."
Recent investment areas for DENSO include:
Autonomous Drive: DENSO invested additional dollars into Ridecell's Series B funding round for the development of shared mobility. Its partnership with ThinCI is enhancing deep learning capabilities required for autonomous vehicles.
Cybersecurity: DENSO led Dellfer's initial funding round to help the company develop cybersecurity safeguards for connected and autonomous vehicles.
Electrification: An investment in FLOSFIA is focused on a semiconductor device expected to reduce the energy loss, cost, size and weight of inverters used in electrified vehicles.
Sensing: Along with a handful of other strategic investors, DENSO invested in Metawave Corporation to accelerate the development and improve performance of in-vehicle, "smart" radar sensors for autonomous cars.
Several DENSO-backed startups will join DENSO at the 2019 Consumer Electronics Show (CES). ThinCI, Dellfer, Metawave and Ridecell will demo their technologies for attendees in DENSO's booth, #4619, in Las Vegas, Nevada, from January 8-11, 2019.
Looking ahead, DENSO will continue to invest in startups and entrepreneurs who can help accelerate innovation in the automotive industry. In 2011, DENSO took steps to strengthen and grow its core automotive business and identify and support non-auto technologies that could be used to advance mobility when it opened its Silicon Valley location. In 2014, DENSO expanded that office to further support and promote startup companies and advanced R&D activities in multiple areas of innovation. In 2016, DENSO began opening satellite R&D offices all around the world to create advanced technologies and services.
"DENSO has been around for a long time and we want to be here for another 70+ years for our customers and employees," said Cannestra. "To ensure that happens, we need great partners who are focused on developing technologies to radically advance our mode of transportation now and well into the future."

We have introduced additional practices to deepen our meditation each Sunday morning. Each week will begin with shamatha/mindfulness of breath practice from 9-10 am. Then we'll do a contemplative practice from the Shambhala Buddhist tradition.
No experience is required to participate. Free Meditation instruction will be available. Please join us for all or any part of any session.
The first Sunday of each month will feature Maitri Bhavana ("cultivating loving-kindness") practice. This is a formal version of tonglen ("sending and taking") compassion practice.
On the second Sunday we'll practice the Sadhana of Mahamudra, a colorful and rich contemplation that Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche wrote in a cave in Bhutan.
The third Sunday will continue our Shambhala Sadhana practice, in which we steep in the defining teachings of Shambhala Buddhism: basic goodness and enlightened society.
Finally, the fourth Sunday will include Amrita: The Cure and White Tara, both healing practices.Those attending the fourth Sunday healing practices will receive transmissions/permission to engage in those practices privately.

Pharmacology Education Project
Other targets of drug action
Drugs used in the clinic can have targets other than the major families of receptors, enzymes and ion channels. Pharmacologically important examples include but are not limited to transporters (both as drug targets and for their ability to modify drug action), structural components of the cell such as tubulin, and DNA (and RNA).
Transporters as drug targets, and drug interactions
Monoamine reuptake transporters
Monoamine reuptake inhibitors (MRIs) reduce the reuptake of one or more of the three major monoamine neurotransmitters, serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine), norepinephrine, and dopamine by inhibiting the transporters responsible for their reuptake from the synaptic cleft. These transporters are the serotonin transporter (SERT, SLC6A4), norepinephrine transporter (NET, SLC6A2), and dopamine transporter (DAT, SLC6A3) respectively. The majority of currently approved antidepressants, including almost all of the tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), act as MRIs. Antidepressants are often sub-divided into groups according to their transporter selectivity e.g. selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). Psychostimulants used to treat ADHD act as MRIs (e.g. methylphenidate (Ritalin), a NET/DAT MRI). Psychostimulants are often abused as recreational drugs and this has spawned the synthesis of so-called 'designer drugs' or 'new psychoactive substances' (NPS) such as mephedrone, which acts to both increase release of monamines and inhibit their reuptake (see PubChem CID 45266826 for Mechanism of action details).
König et al. (2013) provide a review of drug-drug and drug-food interactions which can affect uptake and efflux transporters involved in determining drug disposition and effects. Some of the important transporter families are discussed below.
ABC transporters and multi-drug resistance
A subset of ABC transporters use energy from ATP hydrolysis to export a large variety of drugs from the cytosol to the extracellular medium. In multidrug-resistant cells, the gene for the multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1, P-glycoprotein), ABCB1 is frequently amplified in cancer cells, where it facilitates an abnormally high level of drug molecule expulsion from the cell. This can reduce the drug concentration to an ineffective level. The anti-tubulin drugs colchicine and vinblastine are transported out of the cell by ABCB1. ABCG2 (a.k.a. BCRP, breast cancer resistance protein) confers resistance to most Topoisomerase I or II inhibitors, including topotecan, irinotecan, mitoxantrone and doxorubicin, anthrocycline anticancer drugs and is inhibited by cyclosporin A. Multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1, ABCC1) is a member of the MRP (multidrug resistance proteins) subfamily of ABC transporters, in this case confering resistance to methotrexate and glutathione and glucuronate conjugates from phase II xenobiotic detoxification. The CFTR, the transporter whose loss-of -function mutation causes cystic fibrosis is an ABCC subfamily member (ABCC7) as well as being considered a chloride channel, as are the sulfonylurea receptors, SUR1 and SUR2. The SURs are involved in insulin secretion, neuronal function, and muscle function, and mutation of these genes may cause neonatal diabetes mellitus.
SLC (solute carrier) transporters
The SLC family of transport proteins expend energy to move a range of different solutes across biological membranes. Family members include the OATP, OAT, OCT, and the MATE transporters, located predominantly in the intestine, blood brain barrier, kidneys and liver where they influence the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of drugs. During the drug development process potential interactions with specific SLCs must be considered, due to the role these proteins play in clinical drug-drug interactions and the impact of genetic polymorphism of some of these transporters on therapy outcome and toxicity. The main SLCs of concern are OATP1B1 (SLCO1B1), OATP1B3 (SLCO1B3), OAT1 (SLC22A6), OAT3 (SLC22A8) and OCT2 (SLC22A2) and to a lesser extent OCT1 (SLC22A1), MATE1 (SLC47A1) and MATE2 (SLC47A2).
Substrate/Inhibitor
Drugs which are inhibitors or substrates for SLC transporter activity
OATP1B1 rifamycin, cyclosporin A, methotrexate
OATP1B3 rifampicin, cyclosporin A, methotrexate
OATP2B1 rifamycin, ritonavir, atorvastatin
OAT1 probenecid, diclofenac
OCT1 verapamil, quinidine
OCT2 verapamil, quinidine, metformin
MATE1 cimetidine, verapamil
Other transporters
Glucose transporters facilitate the transport of hydrophilic glucose in to cells, to maintain a ready supply of glucose as an essential source of metabolic energy. Discovering that GLUT1 (SLC2A1) overexpression allows cancer cells to survive in hypoxic microenvironments, and that GLUT1 inhibitors can cause apoptotic death in cancer cells whilst sparing normal cells, has made GLUT1 a target of interest in cancer research, as are glycolytic inhibitors.
Sodium/glucose cotransporters (a.k.a. sodium-glucose linked transporters or SGLTs) contribute to renal glucose reabsorption. SGLT2 (SLC5A2) is a drug target for the treatment of diabetes, with the 'gliflozins' dapagliflozin, canagliflozin and empagliflozin approved for type II diabetes. These drugs act on SGLT2 in the renal proximal convoluted tubule to reduce glucose reabsorption and increase glucose excretion in the urine.
Tubulin and microtubules as targets for anticancer drugs
Cytoskeletal targeting compounds are small molecules that interact with actin or tubulin. They can either
stabliise cytosleletal components
prevent polymerisation of monomers into filaments
enhance de-polymerisation of already formed filaments
Actin-targeting compounds have not been transferred to the clinic, but are useful experimental tools used to further understanding of how the actin machinery in cells works.
Microtubule targeting compounds have been much more successful clinically, with the anti-cancer 'taxanes' paclitaxel, cabaitaxel, docetaxel, being extremely useful in a number of cancer types. The taxanes are pan-tubulin inhibitors which interfere with microtubule structure, thereby disrupting cellular functions such as mitosis, to effect cell death. Other tubulin-targeting drugs are listed in the table below.

Clinical use
Cytoskeletal drugs, their actions and clinical uses.
colchicine microtubules prevents tubulin polymerization gout treatment
docetaxel microtubules anti-mitotic; stabilizes microtubules chemotherapy
eribulin microtubules anti-mitotic; causes apoptosis chemotherapy
paclitaxel microtubules anti-mitotic; stabilizes microtubules chemotherapy
vinblastine microtubules prevents tubulin polymerization chemotherapy
Alkylating chemotherapy agents
Alkylating agents were one of the earliest classes of drugs used to treat cancer. They disrupt DNA structure and formation to cause irreparable DNA damage in cancer cells which ultimately leads to cell death.
The five major categories of alkylating agents are:
Nitrogen mustards- e.g. mechlorethamine, ifosfamide, melphalan, chlorambucil, estramustine and cyclophosphamide
Nitrosoureas- e.g. streptozocin, carmustine, bendamustine and lomustine
Alkyl sulfonates- e.g. busulfan and treosulfan
Triazines- e.g. dacarbazine and temozolomide
Ethylenimines- e.g. thiotepa and altretamine
Some cancers can develop resistance to alkylating agents, by utilising the activity of the enzyme O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) to repair the alkylating agent-induced DNA damage. For example, MGMT is able to repair methyl group damage on guanine nucleotides in DNA caused by temozolomide, thus negating its antineoplastic effect.

It was the staff who won our kick bellyball final game today with a score of 12-8. Some staff members had trouble with the rules at first, but both teams did a good job using good sportsmanship. It was a close game and lots of fun! The rest of the year has lunch time fitness club and games.


How do you determine who can be a resident? The answer is two-fold.
First, Marian Homes works with Chimes to operate our homes. Both Marian Homes and Chimes are driven by the rules concerning qualification to be a resident and the source of funding.
Second, Funding for services is determined by the Fairfax County Community Services Board (CSB). Chimes is a Medicaid waiver provider and get all referrals through their office.
The CSB would do an assessment and determine what services are appropriate and what services the family would be eligible for. Some private insurance will pay for what is called companion services in a person's home. Chimes does not provide that service and is not licensed for that service.
If you go on the Fairfax CSB web site (http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/csb/), information on ID services is there on how to contact their office directly.

After Justin Bieber hinted at hosting and performing on "Saturday Night Live" on Twitter on Monday (Jan. 7), a source has confirmed to Billboard that the pop superstar will indeed be pulling double-duty on the long-running variety show. The Biebs will take over "SNL" on the Feb. 9.
Bieber previously appeared on "Saturday Night Live" in April 2010, in which he performed "U Smile" and serenaded the night's host, Tina Fey, in a sketch:
Earlier this season, Bruno Mars served as the host and performer of "Saturday Night Live," and artists like Christina Aguilera and Elton John have pulled double duty on the show in the past. Maroon 5's Adam Levine will make his hosting debut on Jan. 26, with Kendrick Lamar coming in as musical guest.
Bieber's appearance on Feb. 9 will be in support of his "Believe Acoustic" album, due out Jan. 29. The Biebs performed a stripped-down take on his hit single "Boyfriend," along with two other singles, on "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve" last week.

We help Glasgow family take an easy step up the ladder
Craving space, the Callaghan family wanted to replace their old two bedroom property with something larger and closer to their family. A visit to Burnside View in Bargeddie became the answer to their ideal move.

Local Christmas Lunch receives funding boost
We recently provided £500 of funding towards creating a Christmas Lunch event for elderly community groups across the local area of Bargeddie and Coatbridge West who make use of community facilities offered by The Safety Zone.
This year's Christmas lunch will be held at The Georgian Hotel in Coatbridge, and it is designed to offer elderly members of the community the opportunity to make new friends and connections at what can be a very challenging time of the year.
Commenting on the support it has received from Taylor Wimpey, Councillor Caroline Stephen, said: "Thanks to Taylor Wimpey's kind donation, which has helped to boost our fundraising hugely, we will be able to create a fabulous Christmas lunch for around 140 of our older people in the local community. This event is a great way for us to tackle loneliness and isolation at this time of year, and last year's successful event and positive feedback has encouraged me to create an even bigger event this year. I am still looking for further donations and would encourage other local businesses to get in touch with me."
Kirsty McGill, Head of Sales at Taylor Wimpey West Scotland said: "We are proud to be able to support Councillor Stephen with funding towards this popular Christmas Lunch, and we hope this year's event is as successful as previous get togethers. The work we do is a lot more than just building high-quality homes. Being able to work with local businesses and organisations that surround our developments like Burnside View in Bargeddie means a great deal to us."
Family keep move local with Taylor Wimpey and take an easy step up the ladder
While the McKechnie family craved more space to grow into and they wanted to replace their old new-build property with a larger model, they also wanted to make sure that meant their move would have as little impact as possible on their family life in Coatbridge.
A visit to Burnside was the answer to their perfect family move – a larger home with space for everyone, all within easy reach of the clubs and activities for their children.
It was a win-win situation as Gillian McKechnie, a full-time foster carer explains: "Our girls are nine years old and we just needed more space for everyone. The girls' old bedrooms were just too small so we wanted to find a property that would give everyone the space we all needed. But, staying local was also really important for us. We wanted the girls to be able to go to the same school, have the same classes and continue their out-of-school activities.
"Coatbridge is a fantastic location for us, and we didn't want to change that – just our old house. It is ideal for getting access to the motorway for Robert to get to work, and we have everything that we need around us. It is really central and home for us.
"We fell in love with the layout and space in the four bedroom detached Hume and its position on the development, so we decided to go for it. The girls absolutely adore having their own Jack and Jill en suite between their bedrooms, and they take great pride in showing it off to our friends and family when they come to visit."
Buying another new home was also an important decision for the family as Gillian adds: "I really like a new-build house. You also know they will be built to a very high standard, and the various warranties and guarantees gives you peace of mind too. We're also a very busy family, so being able to move-in and have no DIY or maintenance is really important to us too. And we love the fact that no-one has used anything before us!"
The family used Taylor Wimpey's Easymover scheme, which helped them to get on the move as Robert, a workshop controller, adds: "We found Easymover really easy to use and it helped us to find a buyer for our old house really quickly. The estate agent that we chose from those provided by Taylor Wimpey was very proactive and they had viewings for us within a few days. Our old house sold within one weekend, and the team at Taylor Wimpey made the whole process really stress-free for us."
Getting to know the neighbours and being part of a new community has so far been really good fun as Gillian adds: "We are really enjoying life here. There's a really sociable group of neighbours and we have already had a few get togethers, which is lovely. And, the children are starting to go out to play in the street, which is great especially as the lighter nights are coming in. It's brilliant to see everyone getting on so well and our little community growing."
We Give Funding To St Andrews High School For Eco Art Project
As part of our ongoing commitment to working in partnership with local communities, we have recently provided £500 of funding to St Andrews High School in Coatbridge. The funding will go towards materials and support for an environmental art project in school.
Around 16 S4 pupils are taking part in the project, which will see them create an awareness of video of the devastating effects that plastic is having on the environment. The intention is for the video to be played in school and shared on social media. The pupils will also create an appeal to collect plastic bottles, which they will then use to make large pieces of artwork to be displayed around their school.
Commenting on the support it has received from Taylor Wimpey West Scotland, Chris Shaw, Principal Teacher of Attainment from St Andrews High School said: "We are extremely grateful for the support that we have received from Taylor Wimpey and we can't thank them enough for their generous donation. In order for our pupils to be able to complete this project, we need to supply a range of materials such as plywood sheets, paint, and brushes.
"This boost and support from Taylor Wimpey will mean we can create some impressive pieces of artwork, and I am really looking forward to seeing how our pupils can transform useless plastic bottles into interesting and hopefully useful structures.
"On behalf of everyone at St Andrews High School, I would like to say a huge thank you to the team at Taylor Wimpey."
Audrey Ross, Sales and Marketing Director at Taylor Wimpey West Scotland said: "We are proud to be able to support St Andrews High School with funding towards its eco art project, and we are really looking forward to seeing how this project evolves. The work we do is a lot more than just building high-quality homes. Being able to work with local businesses and organisations that surround our developments like Burnside View in Bargeddie means a great deal to us, and it's great to know that we are helping to make a difference to the lives of people in local communities."
Our donation to St Andrews High School in Coatbridge is one of the many contributions being made by the housebuilder towards community facilities and infrastructure in the wider area.
We Lend A Hand In Community Clean-up in Bargeddie
As part of our commitment to the local community of Bargeddie, five members of the local West Scotland team joined in the local effort to clean-up The Luggie Walkway, which runs nearby from our Burnside View sales information centre to the Kirkwood Sports Barn. As well as a helping hand at the event, we also donated £500 to the project, which aims to rejuvenate the walkway.
The team really enjoyed rolling their sleeves up and getting being part of a great community effort as Audrey Ross, Sales and Marketing Director adds: "Every year we build new homes and communities that people want to live in, and we're passionate about playing our part in the local communities around our developments.
"The Kirkwood Community Council initiative to clean-up The Luggie Walkway was an opportunity for members of our team to give their personal time to support a great local initiative that eventually everyone will benefit from. Hopefully our cash boost will also go some way to providing some additional planting for the area when the time is right to enhance the area further."
The local community regularly uses the walkway but it has become neglected over the years. Through the support from the community and various organisations working together, its transformation is now underway as Richard O'Hara, Chairman of the Kirkwood Community Council adds: "We're grateful of the support that we've received from everyone for this event. There was a tremendous effort across both days, and we've certainly made a real difference to the appearance of some of the pathway already.
"Overall, it's a large area that we need to tackle and we may need a series of events to finally achieve our ambition to completely clear the path, but it's great to get our campaign off to such a positive start with everyone who got involved, including the team at Taylor Wimpey West Scotland."
We Give Lesson in Safety to Local School Children in Bargeddie
We recently gave the local children of Bargeddie Primary School in the village of Bargeddie near Coatbridge some reminders about health and safety.
With construction of new homes at the local Burnside View development in full swing, Taylor Wimpey West Scotland was keen to promote the dangers associated with playing near any construction site and to take the opportunity to raise awareness of the children's need to be extra vigilant as the building of its new homes progresses.
Being proactive with local schools has proven an effective deterrent in the past as Brian Henderson, Production Director for Taylor Wimpey West Scotland explains: "Health and safety in and around our construction areas is of vital importance to Taylor Wimpey. Taking this type of proactive approach with local schools allows us to reinforce just how important it is for children to stay away from building sites, and it gives us the chance to remind the children that building sites are not playgrounds!"
Gillian Brady, Headteacher at Bargeddie Primary School adds: "I was delighted to welcome the team from Taylor Wimpey into our school to highlight the dangers associated with children playing near any construction site. It was the ideal opportunity for them to reinforce their safety message ahead of the school holidays when many of our pupils will be enjoying their time away from the classroom.
"It's great that Taylor Wimpey understands the importance of our children's safety, and has created such an interactive and proactive approach to appeal to our pupils."
We Offer Our Support For Community Clean-up In Bargeddie
As part of our commitment to the local community of Bargeddie, we have provided a £500 boost to the fundraising efforts of the Kirkwood Community Council's Community clean-up of The Luggie Walkway on 2 and 3 June 2018.
As well as this generous cash boost, up to eight members of our team will roll-up their sleeves to join the local community event that aims clear up and rejuvenate the walkway, which runs nearby from our Burnside View sales information centre to the Kirkwood Sports Barn.
The Kirkwood Community Council is encouraging as many people as possible to join them from 10am each day to help with the clean-up. Volunteers will be provided with the appropriate safety equipment to complete the tasks of litter picking, grass clearing and general tidying of the area. There will also be some entertainment throughout the day to ensure it is a fun day for everyone.
It is great to be able to lend this offer of support to such a great community effort as Audrey Ross, Sales and Marketing Director adds: "Every year we build new homes and communities that people want to live in, and we're passionate about playing our part in the local communities around our developments.
"The Kirkwood Community Council initiative to clean-up The Luggie Walkway gives members of our team the chance to offer their personal time to support to this event, and our cash boost will go some way to providing some additional planting for the area."
The local community regularly uses the walkway but it has become neglected over the years. With support from the community and various organisations working together, it is hoped the event will make a real improvement to the area as Richard O'Hara, Chairman of the Kirkwood Community Council adds: "We're grateful of this generous offer from Taylor Wimpey, and indeed the other companies and organisations that are throwing their support behind this event.
"It is a significant area that we hope to tackle, and we may need a series of events to finally achieve our ambition to completely clear the path but it's great to get our campaign off to such a positive start with Taylor Wimpey West Scotland.
"I'd like to encourage as many members of the public to give us their support to lend a hand for as much or as little time as they can manage across the weekend of 2 and 3 June.
"We'll be meeting at the Kirkwood Sports Barn at 10am each day, I hope as many people as possible can join us. And as they old saying goes – many hands make light work."
We Lead STEM Sessions at Bargeddie Primary in North Lanarkshire
As part of Bargeddie Primary School's focus on STEM subjects – Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths – our West Scotland team took the opportunity to lead a series of practical sessions in school to outline the important part these subjects play within the housebuilding industry.
Using the four key subjects as the pillars of their task, the children were asked to build a model house in their groups. The children had a variety of materials to choose from, and each completed model was judged against set criteria that included whether it was the strongest, tallest, coolest looking, best functioning, cheapest as well as the overall best design.
The STEM subjects contribute across a number of disciplines in the housebuilding industry. With the construction of new homes now underway at our local Burnside View development in Bargeddie, STEM week was a great opportunity for us to give the children an insight into the industry and highlight the relevance of these subjects in real life.
Errin Hendry-Giles, Technical Management Trainee for Taylor Wimpey West Scotland led the sessions as she explains: "When you consider the importance of the STEM subjects across a number of areas of our business, it's crucial that we play our role in inspiring children to enjoy these subjects in order to futureproof our industry.
"Without Science we can't explore new technology, design or investigate soils or materials. Technology is the cornerstone for creating new energy efficient homes to help us reduce the carbon footprint of each household and creating places where people want to live. Engineering is also a key part of designing and constructing our new homes. Finally, Maths makes it possible to be able to work out our costs and make sound business decisions.
"Our project to build a house from a range of fun materials against set criteria certainly got the children thinking and using these subjects in real-time to create some great models. With a number of learning outcomes across each of the core subjects, we were able to help the children reach the conclusion that all four STEM subjects are important because they help us to solve problems at work, school and everyday life."
Lynn Logan, class teacher who organised STEM week at Bargeddie Primary School, adds: "The STEM sessions provided by the team from Taylor Wimpey West Scotland were a fun and engaging way to bring each of the four subjects to life. Our children have enjoyed learning more about the housebuilding industry and Taylor Wimpey's insight into the importance of STEM reminds us how crucial learning in these subject areas is for the future of many industries.

This picture is of an abandoned slave cabin along the banks of the Combahee River in South Carolina.
This cabin sits on the land of a former slave plantation that fugitive slave Harriet Tubman raided in 1863, freeing over seven hundred slaves from the area. Before the Civil War, Tubman was one of the most fearless guides of the Underground Railroad, frequently returning to the South to lead slaves to freedom in the North. When war broke out, she accepted a commission as an officer in the Union Army, and led a Union boat up the Combahee, deep in the heart of the Confederacy. Word quickly spread on the huge rice plantations along both banks of the Combahee that freedom was near, and slaves rushed to the boat. Many of the men would soon join the Union troops and help finish the war.
Original slave cabins are very rare in the South. Almost all of them have been torn down or destroyed over the years. So when I went to photograph the Combahee River in memory of Harriet Tubman's historical raid, I was very happy to find this one, located on private property. I was told that the bricks structure meant its original owners had tried to build better housing for their slaves than the typical wooden shacks found on most plantations. Inside the cabin was an old desk and some trash. Families had been living here as late as the 1970's.


The TV series No Ordinary Family: episode summaries, trailer, clips, photos, soundtrack, news and much more!
Do you think the TV series No Ordinary Family will get a new season?
Tricia Helfer as guest star, awesome!
"Jim's feelings of guilt are overwhelming when, during a fight with a thug, he diverts a bullet that accidentally hits a boy – causing life-threatening harm.
Last week's episode was awesome, let's hope this new episode will be as intense and won't disappoint!
More action please! And stop acting like last week's episode never happened!
"After a friend is attacked, Stephanie tells Jim that she wants to join forces with him to help catch the perp. But when Jim informs Stephanie that he's built for crime fighting – and she's not – the competition is on to see which one of them can solve the case first.
I hate it when they build up tension and just act like nothing happened in the following episode… So let's hope it's not the case here, and that this new episode of No Ordinary Family will count for something.
Anyway, the show is on break for now: the episode "No Ordinary Double Standard" will air Tuesday, February 8th on ABC.
The last episode of No Ordinary Family was a let down. But this new episode will be definitely more intense.
"Jim's wayward brother, Mike (Jason Wiles), makes a surprise visit to the Powell household and discovers the family has powers. But in an attempt to make some quick cash, he tries to convince JJ to using his abilities to win big by betting on the horses.
Impatient to see what will happen now that Katie knows that Joshua stole Stephanie's diary!
This new episode of No Ordinary Family will air January 4, 2011, on ABC.
George is a great sidekick, Jim should show more respect: without George, Jim would be like a dumb useless rhino.
If Jim and Stephanie team up to fight crime, they will be almost invincible!


Festival 735 is 65 inches long, has been handcrafted from Spanish cedar, contains 5 tubes, weighs 5 lbs., and is hand-tuned to the scale of E. The bass notes of this chime are reminiscent of the bells from a distant church steeple.
Available Colors: Silver, Bronze and Forest Green.
It sounds beautiful and looks good as well!
We purchased three chimes, all alike, and we are giving them as anniversary presents (with marriage dates inscribed) to each couple. One couple have been married for 25 years, so their bells were siwlver. They were shipped directly to the kids, and the response was so gratifying, we sent another set to friends who are celebrating their 50th. They were so surprised and pleased! Ironically, since all the bells were sent out of town, we have never heard the bells we paid for, but we heard the demo on your website, so we knew what we were getting. Thank you for a well planned ordering system and web site, and for making a superior product!

Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's prepared statement on 22 May was the epitome of even-handed non-committal drafting (Federal Reserve 2013b) but the mention of "stepping down" and "in the next few meetings" in the discussion sent a shiver through financial markets worldwide. Bond yields jumped just about everywhere; the Abenomics euphoria in Japan deflated; and capital flows to emerging markets reversed direction. Bernanke was just pointing out the obvious and he went on to say that "we could either raise or lower our pace of purchases going forward". Why were financial markets so startled?
The problem is twofold: the first relates to the intrinsic nature of quantitative easing; the second reflects market confusion about how QE operates.
QE is not simply a continuation of conventional monetary policy by alternative means. It works by lowering the longer-term interest rates below what would be indicated by the profile of expected short-term rates. When conventional monetary policy is tightened in line with market expectations, there are no capital losses experienced by bond-holders. But QE has succeeded in getting the term premium not just negative (which would be unusual enough), but substantially so, as acknowledged by Bernanke in March (Federal Reserve 2013a).
At some stage during the unwinding of QE, bond-holders will suffer a painful capital loss as yields return to normality. Bernanke's remarks on 22 May, innocuous though they were, reminded bond-holders that they need to be ahead of the pack when the moment comes to lighten the bond portfolio. With markets on tenterhooks, the adjustment could easily be sudden, and just as easily involve a price overshoot. No matter how careful Bernanke is, this adjustment is likely to look something like the 1994 bond shock because it has an intrinsic 'tipping point'.
The capital losses on bonds are not the only tipping point ahead. The most prominent and consistent QE effects were on equity prices and exchange rates – effects which were not explicitly foreshadowed when QE began. While these effects might have been helpful in boosting economic activity, these distortions will reverse when QE is withdrawn. Equity markets and the international capital carry trade have become as dependent on QE as any drug addict.
If markets had a clear understanding of how QE operates, they might effectively anticipate the unwinding and soften the tipping point. Some (perhaps many) market participants have, however, misunderstood the nature of QE. They expected an automatic increase in lending through the credit multiplier and a boost in money supply (it was almost invariably referred to as 'printing money'), hence pushing up inflation. In fact money just maintained its trend growth. Credit growth has been weak. Underlying inflation has actually fallen. None of this should have come as a surprise. There was never going to be CPI inflation while unemployment was so high and the slow cyclical recovery is enough to explain lethargic credit demand. But when outcomes have been far from market expectations, participants are disoriented.
In these confused circumstances, market responses have been based on expectations of policy changes rather than on fundamentals. Asset prices untethered to fundamentals will be volatile. If market participants don't understand how we got here, they will be ready to panic at the thought of how we will exit. Markets were ready to seize on a spontaneous response in Bernanke's testimony, rather than the finely honed text, which pointed to a careful and drawn-out unwinding.
Unwinding QE doesn't have to be too traumatic. The Fed can shift short-term policy interest rates up as appropriate, while leaving the disposal of its abnormally large bond holdings to a later date. Even if it makes capital losses in the process, these can be absorbed without too much drama. Concerns about inflation from 'printing money' were always totally misplaced.
That said, some of the private-sector capital losses discussed above will fall on vulnerable sectors, especially the banking system. The prudential authorities need to be on top of these, and some carefully-modulated public discussion (and data) on bank balance sheets might be helpful.
We are currently witnessing a tug-of-war between financial markets that are pressuring the authorities to keep QE going, and those who see it as having served its purpose, losing its potency and storing up further problems in unwinding. Bernanke has always acknowledged that QE has a downside, but he has justified it on the basis of its support for economic activity. If it has reached the stage where the current dosage simply delays the inevitable painful withdrawal, it may be harder to resist the pressures to unwind.
If the balance of these forces results in QE being wound back soon, this will be occurring in an economy which is still much weaker than might have been hoped. As well, policymakers might have hoped for a financial sector which had a better understanding of how this process will work and thus more ability to make the transition with composure. There is still time to achieve this better understanding, but the flightiness of markets since Bernanke's tentative attempt to prepare for the unwinding is a reminder of how difficult it is to have a sensible conversation with the financial sector.
