Diamond    WhiteGold    14KGold

The value of a diamond is determined by the Four Cs: Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat weight.

Diamond Cut
The cut of a diamond (the depth, width and uniformity of the facets) determines the stone’s brilliance and sparkle. Even if a diamond has perfect color and clarity, a poor cut can make it look dull. A diamond’s proportions determine how well the light will reflect and refract within the stone, with symmetry of the cut being extremely important.

Diamond Color
Acting as a prism, a diamond can divide light into a spectrum of colors, reflecting light as colorful flashes called fire. Color within a diamond diminishes the brilliance of the stone by diminishing the spectrum of colors that are emitted. A colorless diamond disperses light throughout the entire stone. Therefore, the less color that is in a diamond, the more colorful its fire, the better its color grade, and the greater its value (and priced accordingly). Diamond color is graded using an alphabetical range from D-Z (D being totally colorless). Diamonds graded better than J are colorless or near-colorless, with color that is typically undetectable to the unaided eye. Color K-Z is especially noticeable when set in platinum or white gold.

Diamond Clarity
Most diamonds naturally have small internal flaws called inclusions, which interfere with the passage of light through the stone. The size, number, position and color of these imperfections determine a stone’s clarity grade.

  • FL (Flawless): No internal or external flaws
  • VVS1-VVS2 (Very Very Slightly Included): Very difficult to see inclusions under 10X magnification
  • VS1-VS2 (Very Slightly Included): Inclusions are seen under 10X magnification, but not typically visible to the unaided eye
  • SI1-SI2 (Slightly Included): Inclusions are highly visible under 10X magnification and may be visible to the unaided eye
  • I1-I2-I3 (Imperfect): Inclusions visible to the unaided eye

    Our diamonds have been evaluated and graded by GIA graduate gemologists using the standards established by GIA (The Gemological Institute of America). Through these guidelines, we no longer provide clarity grades for SINGLE cut diamonds.

    Diamond Carat
    Carat is the standard unit of measurement used to determine a diamond’s weight. Although two diamonds may have the same carat weight, their color and clarity may be different, thus determining each individual stone’s value. Additionally, since larger diamonds are more rare than smaller diamonds, diamond value tends to rise exponentially with carat weight.

    More About Diamonds
    The most precious of all gems, diamonds have an incredible rarity factor. It takes a minimum of one million diamonds to be mined in order to find a 1.00ct gem-quality diamond, so each 1.00ct quality diamond is literally one in a million. Making them even more incredible, the mining of diamonds requires moving and sifting 250 tons of the Earth’s crust to find just one diamond. Mining companies literally move mountains to find diamonds.

    Diamonds have the longest endurance of any substance known on Earth. Carbon dating has established that diamonds, on the average, are 3.4 billion years of age. They consist of pure carbon and there is no chemical difference between them and carbon powder (the lead pencil center). Obviously, however, the physical difference between carbon powder and a diamond is fascinating. Diamonds are created from a basketball-sized piece of pure carbon that becomes white-hot. It is squeezed to the size of a small pearl, turning from black to clear in the process and becoming the hardest material known to humans, ranking a 10.0 on the Mohs Scale . Because they are so hard, diamonds can only be ground and polished by using diamond dust that has been ground from other diamonds.

    Diamonds are found in a rainbow of colors. The value of a fancy-colored stone depends largely on the rarity of its color, the saturation of the color, and the purity of the color. Probably the most famous colored diamond is the Hope, which features a deep-blue color and weighs an amazing 45.52ct. It can be seen at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C.

    With diamonds found all over the world, America has a couple small producing diamonds mines, but it only produces industrial grades with non-gem grade material. These black and brown industrial-grade diamonds are widely used as cutting and grinding tools in various industries, such as oil drilling and stone carving.

    Diamonds have come to symbolize the ultimate gift of love and romance and, in the United States, are traditionally used in engagement and wedding rings. The tradition of the diamond solitaire engagement ring may have started in 1477, when the Archduke of Austria gave a large solitaire diamond to Mary of Burgundy for her hand in marriage. Amidst this tradition of romance, the diamond is also the birthstone for April and given as 10th, 30th, 60th and 75th anniversary gifts.

    Diamonds have been the pride of empires throughout time. Ancient Hindu followers believed diamonds were created by thunderbolts striking the ground. Ancient Greeks believed that diamonds were teardrops of the gods and splinters of stars that had fallen to Earth. The stones were believed to possess magical qualities and have powers far beyond the understanding of common man. Even the name stems from “adamas,” the Greek word for “unconquerable” and “indestructible.”

    The diamond is considered the most magical of all gems. When worn, it is believed to promote spirituality, even ecstasy, and is often utilized in meditation. The diamond promotes self-confidence in relations with the opposite sex and is often worn to conquer infertility. The diamond is the stone of love and is worn to ensure fidelity. Owing to its sparkling and flashing nature, it has long been regarded as a stone of protection and peace. It can be worn today for courage and strength, and represents fearlessness and invincibility.

    Since only diamonds can scratch other diamonds, it is important to wrap and store your diamond jewelry pieces separately so they do not touch one another. To clean jewelry at home, soak diamonds in warm, sudsy water made with any mild liquid detergent. Brush with a soft toothbrush and rinse and pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Other effective cleaning methods include soaking diamonds in household ammonia, brand-name liquid jewelry cleaners, or even a glass of vodka.

    White Gold
    Although gold is most often thought of as having a soft, yellow glow, the metal is available in an entire spectrum of different hues. The different colors of gold depend upon with which metals the gold is alloyed, or mixed.

    Increasing in popularity in recent years, white gold has become fashionable as the preferred cool and contemporary look. White gold boasts the same properties as classic yellow gold, but achieves its white color by mixing with different alloys. In general, white gold is created when a nickel or palladium alloy (zinc and copper) is used. White gold may also be plated with an even whiter metal, such as rhodium, to enhance its cool appearance. As well, a white gold setting can enhance the rapture of white diamonds.

    Gold Karat
    Gold's softness and malleability make it a wonderful metal to work with when creating virtually any design in jewelry. But this softness can be a drawback as well. To make it stronger and more durable, gold is usually alloyed, or mixed, with other metals such as copper or silver. The higher a metal's percentage of gold content, the softer and more yellow the jewelry piece. The karat weight system used to measure gold in a piece is the same for all hues, including white and yellow gold.

    The word “carat” is Arabic, meaning “bean seed.” This is because historically seeds were used to measure weights of gold and precious stones. In the United States, “karat” with a “k” is used to measure gold's purity, while “carat” with a “c” is used in measuring a gemstone's size. The karat mark of gold represents the percentage of pure gold to alloy.

  • 24K is pure gold or 100% gold
  • 21K is 21/24ths gold content or 87.5% gold: In the United States, jewelry with this karatage or higher is rare. It is far more common in Europe, the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
  • 18K is 18/24ths gold content or 75% gold: This karatage is a popular high-end choice in the United States, Europe and other regions. Its popularity is spreading throughout North America.
  • 14K is 14/24ths gold content or 58.5% gold: This is the most common gold karatage in the United States because of its fine balance between gold content, durability and affordability.
  • 10K is 10/24ths gold content or 41.7% gold: This karatage is gaining popularity for its affordability and durability. Commonly used in everyday-wear jewelry such as rings, 10K gold beautifully withstands wear and tear. It is the lowest gold content that can be legally marked or sold as gold jewelry in the United States.

    In order to determine the karat weight of a specific item, simply look for the quality mark. Jewelry items will bear the stamp of their karatage based upon the United States or European system of marking. The United States system designates pieces by their karats—24K, 18K, 14K, 10K, etc. The European system designates pieces by their percentage of gold content. For instance, 10K gold is marked “417,” denoting 41.7% gold; 14K is marked “585,” denoting 58.5% gold; and 18K is marked “750,” denoting 75% gold; etc.

AWS Hosts Human Genetics Catalog in the Cloud

By Darryl K. Taft  |  Posted 2012-03-29 Print this article Print

By hosting the human genetics catalog in the cloud, AWS gives researchers instant access to the complete 1000 Genomes Project on AWS, enabling scientists to accelerate disease research.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) and the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced that the complete 1000 Genomes Project is now available on AWS as a publically available data set.

AWS and NIH announced the news at the White House Big Data Summit on March 29. The announcement makes the largest collection of human genetics available to researchers worldwide, free of charge. The 1000 Genomes Project is an international research effort coordinated by a consortium of 75 companies and organizations to establish the most detailed catalog of human genetic variation, AWS officials said.

The project has grown to 200 terabytes of genomic data, including DNA sequenced from more than 1,700 individuals that researchers can now access on AWS for use in disease research. The 1000 Genomes Project aims to include the genomes of more than 2,600 individuals from 26 populations around the world, and the NIH will continue to add the remaining genome samples to the public data set this year.

The 1000 Genomes Project started out with pilot phases in 2008 that included just a couple terabytes of data, AWS told eWEEK. In 2010, NIH made a small portion of that data available on AWS as a public data set, and due to the positive feedback from scientists, it decided to make the 1000 Genomes Project as it stands todayat more than 2000TB of datafully accessible on AWS. The amount of data produced by the 1000 Genomes Project is unprecedented in biomedical research, NIH officials said. NIH, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, serves as one of the data coordinators for the 1000 Genomes Project.

Previously, researchers wanting access to public data sets such as the 1000 Genomes Project had to download them from government data centers to their own systems, or have the data physically shipped to them on discs, said Lisa D. Brooks, Ph.D., program director for the Genetic Variation Program, National Human Genome Research Institute, a part of NIH, in a statement. This process took a long time, and thats assuming a lab had the bandwidth to download the data and sufficient storage and compute infrastructure to hold and analyze the data once they had it. We are happy that the 1000 Genomes Project data are on AWS to give researchers anywhere in the world a simple way to access the data so they can put the data to work in their research.

Putting the data in the AWS cloud provides a tremendous opportunity for researchers around the world who want to study large-scale human genetic variation but lack the computer capability to do so, said Richard Durbin, Ph.D., co-director of the 1000 Genomes Project and joint head of human genetics at the Welcome Trust Sanger Institute, in Hinxton, England.

AWS said for researchers to download the complete 1000 Genomes Project on their own servers, it would take weeks to months, and thats assuming they had the bandwidth to download the data and enough hardware and storage to hold it. To do meaningful analysis on the data, researchers often needed access to very large, high performing compute resources, which cost hundreds of thousands and sometimes millions of dollars, AWS officials said. The NIH was selected as one of the data coordinators for the 1000 Genomes Project, and it wanted to remove this friction and make the data as widely accessible as possible, so researchers can immediately start analyzing and crunching the data, even if they dont have the large budgets that are traditionally required for this level of data analytics, AWS said.

Public Data Sets on AWS provide a centralized repository of public data stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS). The data can then be directly accessed from AWS services such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) and Amazon Elastic MapReduce (Amazon EMR), eliminating the need for organizations to move the data in-house and then procure enough technology infrastructure to analyze the data effectively, AWS said.

For its part, AWS highly scalable compute resources are being used to power big data and high-performance computing applications such as those found in science and research. NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Langone Medical Center at New York University, Unilever, Numerate, Sage Bionetworks and Ion Flux are among the organizations leveraging AWS for scientific discovery and research. AWS is storing the public data sets at no charge to the community. Researchers pay only for the additional AWS resources they need for further processing or analysis of the data.

It took more than 10 years and billions of dollars to sequence and publish the very first human genome. Recent advances in genome sequencing technology have enabled researchers to tackle projects like the 1000 Genomes by collecting far more data, faster, said Deepak Singh, Ph.D. and principal product manager for Amazon Web Services, in a statement.

This has created a growing need for powerful and instantly available technology infrastructure to analyze that data. Were excited to help scientists gain access to this important data set by making it available to anyone with access to the Internet. This means researchers and labs of all sizes and budgets have access to the complete 1000 Genomes Project data and can immediately start analyzing and crunching the data without the investment it would normally require in hardware, facilities and personnel. Researchers can focus on advancing science, not provisioning the resources required for their research.

AWS said the 1000 Genomes is a prime example of big data, where data sets become so massive that few researchers have access to the compute power in their own data centers to analyze and process the data. Yet, a key point here is that the 1000 Genomes data will be sitting right next to the compute power researchers need to derive value from the data. In a matter of minutes, scientists can spin up as much compute power as they need to crunch the massive data sets. Researcher will only pay for the additional AWS resources needed for further processing or analysis of the data, AWS said.

Spate of iPhone Overheating Reports Roast Apple

By Nathan Eddy  |  Posted 2009-07-03 Print this article Print

Sales of Apple's iPhone 3GS aren't the only thing hot about the device: Reports of overheating issues on the new version of the smartphone caused Apple to release an advisory on how to keep your iPhone cool.

While the debut of the iPhone 3GS, the latest edition of Apple's sleek, popular smartphone, has been a runaway success (sales after three days on the market bested 1 million models sold), Apple acknowledged the devices may have an issue when it comes to overheating.

In response to numerous consumer reports that its iPhones were overheating, Apple has posted an advisory on its support site where users can learn about the operating temperatures and temperature management of the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS.

"Operate iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS in a place where the temperature is between 32?? to 95?? Fahrenheit. Low- or high-temperature conditions might temporarily shorten battery life or cause the device to temporarily stop working properly," the post explains. "Store the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS in a place where the temperature is between -4?? to 113?? Fahrenheit. Don't leave the device in your car, because temperatures in parked cars can exceed this range."

Apple noted if the interior temperature of the device exceeds normal operating temperatures, users may experience these signs as it attempts to regulate its temperature, including stop charging, a dim display and a weak cellular signal. Users may also recognize the iPhone is overheating if they see a temperature warning screen, which appears with the message "iPhone needs to cool down before you can use it."

The company noted when this message appears, the device may still be able to make emergency calls. If the message appears, users should turn the device off, move it to a cooler environment and allow it to cool before resuming use, Apple said. The company recommends avoiding leaving the device in hot conditions or direct sunlight for long periods of time, or using applications like GPS tracking or listening to music while in direct sunlight.

The reports of overheating iPhones (and the resulting advisory) come on the heels of a Consumer Reports smartphone ratings guide, which saw the iPhone 3GS topping the competition. While Palm's latest entry into the competitive smartphone market, the Pre, was close behind in the ranking, Apple maintained its competitive edge.

"The phones vary significantly in how they achieve their high scores," wrote Paul Reynolds on the Consumer Reports blog. "The iPhone 3GS edged out high-scoring competitors such as the Palm Pre and BlackBerry Storm thanks to a superior display, reinforced by top-notch multimedia, navigation, Web browsing and battery life."

However, Reynolds also noted the Pre, the BlackBerry Storm and other BlackBerry models bested the iPhone in messaging, and the Pre, with its new deck-of-cards handling of multiple applications, is a superior multitasker. In rating smartphones this year, Reynolds said the magazine added new categories for ranking, including display and ease of navigation. "The iPhone 3G and some other older phones have moved up due to these changes," he wrote. "While others, including the Samsung Blackjack II and BlackBerry Pearl Flip, have dropped in their ranking."

Kaiser Permanente Releases Open API for Health App Developers

By Brian T. Horowitz  |  Posted 2013-06-06 Print this article Print

Kaiser Permanente's open API Interchange provides the code for developers to create health apps that help consumers to manage their lifestyle.

Kaiser Permanente, a nonprofit health care system, has unveiled Interchange, a secure open API that will allow application developers to collaborate with KP on applications that allow users to manage health conditions.

Interchange will enable developers to integrate KP's data on its facility locations into their apps through the company's developer portal.

By accessing KP's public data using Interchange, app developers will be able to shorten their production time and align apps to consumers'  lifestyles, the company reported.

KP introduced Interchange at a code-a-thon during the Health Data Consortium's Health Datapalooza from June 3-4. The Health Data Consortium is a group of government, nonprofit and private sector organizations that collaborate to encourage innovation in health care.

"The code-a-thon brings together teams of Kaiser Permanente leaders, clinicians and technologists with external developers to brainstorm ideas for new apps using the API," Madhu Nutakki, vice president of digital presence technologies for Kaiser Permanente, told eWEEK in an email. "We encourage mashups of Kaiser Permanente data with other public data sets to solve problems for our consumers."

Both the code-a-thon and the open API are opportunities for "co-creation" between KP and developers of Web, social or mobile apps, according to Nutakki.

"By giving developers access to our public data, beginning with location information, we are enabling collaboration and co-creation," Nutakki said. "We're in the beginning stages of the API, and we're exploring how we can collaborate to serve our members and communities."

KP plans to allow developers to create apps that collect data from medical tracking devices.

"As we release new data sets and begin to harness device-generated data, there is potential to see a new era of hyper-personalized, patient-centered apps that will change the way our members and communities engage in their health," Phil Fasano, executive vice president and CIO of KP, said in a statement.

The apps created using the API won't leak personal health information because the apps will only expose a limited set of specific data. KP ensures the safe transfer of data using the open API by using encrypted Web protocols, Nutakki said.

KP looks forward to seeing what developers come up with in using the secure public data sets, Fasano said.

"Imagine being able to download a mobile app so customized that it shows you nearby restaurants that cater to your healthy lifestyle and offers food suggestions based on the amount of activity you have completed in the last week, your nutrition plan and friends' reviews," Fasano said.

"Once you've finished your meal, a device synced to your app reports your blood-sugar levels and reminds you to pick up insulin, then tells you the nearest Kaiser Permanente pharmacy where you can pick it up," Fasano continued. "Interchange by Kaiser Permanente is the beginning of that possibility."

Interchange may also feature public research publications.

KP offers a personal health portal called My Health Manager that allows more than 4 million members to track their health. In addition, the company's HealthConnect electronic health record (EHR) platform allows physicians to message securely with patients through email.

By providing APIs for developers to create health apps, KP intends to create access to care and reduce the cost of medical services, the company reported.

Thursday, November 5, 2009

In case you missed the movie King Corn (if you did you should see it, and not just because EWG's Founding President Ken Cook is in it), take 2 minutes and 17 seconds to get the gist of our country's corn craziness.

As you'll soon see, the stuff is everywhere. you. turn. Then look in the mirror.

And if you want to know WHY, this might help.

Why WWE Requested A Hearing Today For TNA Lawsuit

Partial Source: Pwinsider.com

WWE requested a hearing in Nashville (which takes place at 1:30 PM) about TNA’s lawsuit against them and Brian Wittenstein.

WWE told the court that the deadlines set for made them worried “they will be unable to adequately prepare” for a planned hearing on June 11 and will not be able to comply with the Discovery Order “without considerable inconvenience and expense”.

WWE and TNA have not been able to agree to the order, location and dates for several depositions TNA requested for Triple H and John Laurinaitis. They also want to depose Ric Flair. WWE told the court that Laurinaitis was scheduled for “previously advertised and committed television appearances” in the United States and Spain next week as well as June 11. This presents a problem to TNA’s requested timeline.

Jerry Jerry McDevitt has filed paperwork to represent WWE. Brian Wittenstein (former TNA and WWE office worker) hasn’t responded to the court or had a legal representative file paperwork announcing they will represent him.

One by one, the Fort Osage High School basketball players exited the locker room inside the Independence Events Center.

They had spent several minutes with coach Josh Wilson and his staff following a heart-breaking 67-58 loss to a Lee’s Summit team led by Drew Lock’s 29-point night.

Some players were inconsolable. Others managed to wipe away the tears and talk about the Class 5 sectional loss that ended one of the most memorable seasons in school history.

“We hate to lose – I mean, we hate it!” said composed sophomore guard Skylar Thompson, who finished with 12 points. “But I don’t think anyone thought we would get this far this season after losing the ‘Big Three Seniors’ from last year’s team.

“I’m so proud of what we accomplished this season. We ran into a good team and Lee’s Summit just beat us. We have to use this loss as motivation for next season.”

Lee’s Summit ran off to an early 12-2 lead, and Fort managed to knot the score at 24-all late in the second period, but could never get over the hump and take a lead.

“I have so much respect for Coach Wilson and his kids,” Lee’s Summit head coach Blake Little said. “We knew this was going to be a tough game, and they gave us everything they have. They have two great players (Thompson and senior Brian Starr) and a bunch of kids who play their guts out. When we got that early lead, I thought, ‘They’re going to make a run at us,’ and they did.

“We managed to maintain a lead in the second half, because we played an unselfish game. Drew did his best to let everyone get involved in the first half, then we just let him take it over in the second half.”

Lock scored 20 of his 29 points in the second half, hitting 6 of 6 free throws in the fourth quarter to finish an 11-of-11 performance from the line.

“Lock is a great player, and we did everything we could to stop him,” Wilson said after the Indians wrapped up a 19-7 season. “It’s just so tough to know that we have to say goodbye to some great seniors and that we don’t have practice tomorrow.

“The guys really enjoy being around each other and I love being around them. They’re a special group who really did an amazing job this season.”

Seven times in the second half, the Indians cut the deficit to a one-possession game.

“But we could never get that basket to tie the game or the big shot to give us a lead when it was a one-point game,” Wilson said. “We had a charging, and couple of misses and a turnover – and Lee's Summit was responsible for a lot of our frustration.

“You hear so much about Lock, but they have a great team.”

Blake Spellman, whose father graduated from Fort Osage, hit three 3-pointers in the second period, including a buzzer-beater at the half, to give the Tigers a 30-26 halftime lead.

“They made a lot of big baskets and we didn’t make as many as we needed to make,” said senior guard Brian Starr, who finished with 14 points. “I didn’t even have a tear in my eye in the locker room because I felt like I let the team down tonight.

“I didn’t do the things I usually do in a game, and I’m sad and disappointed. We didn’t want this season to end. It was too special for all of us.”

Junior guard Will Penamon led the Indians with 16 points, and he left the locker room in tears.

“You can tell what this game means to this team,” Wilson said. “It’s hard right now. Sometime, we’ll appreciate all the good things we did this season, but it won’t be tonight.”

Ironically, Little is a teacher at Lee's Summit West, the Tigers’ opponent at 2:45 p.m. Saturday in the game that will punch one team’s ticket to state.

“Other than the guys on my staff at Lee's Summit, some of my best friends are on the staff at West,” said Little, who was a former junior varsity coach for the Titans. “I’m not going to get much sleep between now and Saturday afternoon.”

Women Live Many More Lives In Parallel While Men Live Just One

I been hanging out with these bunch of girls for a while now ... earlier on I used to think they get it all on a platter and stuff but now I know enough to acknowledge that almost each of them that I know of is facing a ton of issues in their lives but they just don't let it show, they go on and on. and there comes a moment when they implode (not explode because even at that moment they take all the criticism on themselves and they share it only with their *inner circle*). I have lived as a man all my life with all male friends, colleagues, relatives etc but discovering the girls and women in my life only now. I have been through so many *meltdowns* and each time I discover it happened after she's been through so much that if it were a man in her place, by then he would have long given-up. While a man lives a single life, its like the women live multiple times the same life of a man like with their parents, in-laws, boyfriends, girlfriends, children etc and they handle them all smoothly without anyone noticing even, most of the time. Each of the relationship comes with its own challenges and they face them on a daily basis. Initially I tried to help them by suggesting why not this or why not that but now I know for sure that the best help I can do is just *listen* to every word they have to say ... it can take a while but I stay till the end and help with the kleenex if I have not run out of stock.

Swimming In High Heels

I love to swim in heels, and love reading stories about how silly it's supposed to be. Silly? It's sooooo much fun! I love getting dressed in anything from a nightgown to a blouse and skirt to slacks or jeans, always with nylons, and then slipping into my heels, knowing that they're going to be soaking wet and sexy before long. I'll sit by the edge of the pool and dip them in over and over, or lay back in the bath where I can see them glistening and dripping, with my nylons drenched as well. Only once did I have a stranger see me walking out of the river in a blouse and jeans, his eyes growing ever wider as I emerged with my shoes on . . . he didn't say anything, but his wide-eyed expression seemed to indicate that they just don't do things like that on his planet!

He must have been on the wrong planet then, as that sounds really sexy to me !

Hi I like to swim in my clothes and boots also, it feels good,

Hope to read more of your stories Pinkie. ;)

I love getting my clothes, especially jeans, wet, however, my wife doesn't share ,my enthusiasm. And i enjoy watching women getting their clothes wet. A woman in wet jeans and heels is so sexy.

If that had been me, I would have asked you if we could do a mutual heels wade-in.

but how do you get a lady to have a swim in high heels

wow i wish all this time i thought i was alone i love to see women in high heels swimming only seen it iin the movies and the web never in real life maybe one day

The more dressed up you are, the more erotic. Elegant dresses with heels and stockings even more so. Do you think you would ever consider climbing out of the pool dressed like that and walking straight into a massive piefight?

I am with Paulypeeps, nothing nicer than to slip into the pool in your club gear ;-) , it's nice when you get out as well....

I agree 110% Pinkie, oh how I lust to go swimming fully dressed en femme. Thank you for sharing and please feel free to add me.

They are always having fun in those youtube videos where people are soaked to the skin in their elegant outfits.

I have to agree as well. Go in as you are, no concessions, and the nicer you are dressed, the more erotic the experience. Swimming fully clothed feels wonderful, and I agree with Pauly, swimming in your high heelscan be easier than walking in them. My favorite outfit to swim in is a business suit with nylons and heels.

Like yourself, Pinkie, I enjoy getting dressed in almost anything if I'm planning to get it wet later. And regardless of the outfit I choose, it always includes nylons and high heels. The look of shining wet nylons is amazing and the feel is so erotic. I also love the squishiness of wet heels too.

Diving or jumping in is my favorite way of getting wet. Going from being completely dry to the sensation of suddenly soaked, where everything you have on is now plastered to your body is so erotic. And just as WetCouple said, doing this wearing something others wouldn't dream of just adds spice to the experience. I love the naughtiness of going in with all of your clothes on.

LOVE your story and agree totally, Pinkie! And Pauly, I think you hit it on the head - so nice to not make any concessions, just get in exactly as you are - without care about what clothes you're wearing, what shoes you're wearing, or anything else! In fact, for us the more dressed up we are, the more sensual and erotic it is - because we're willing to plunge in without a second thought when most wouldn't DREAM of getting wet in such elegant, expensive attire! My wife often surprises me when I least expect it - by stepping casually into a fountain or pool in expensive heels and stockings - which often ends up with her entire outfit (and mine too) ending up soaked.

It is so nice to not make any concessions to swimming, just get in as you are. I love to swim in heels because they are no problem to swim in, if sometimes a little uncomfortable to walk in. Swimming in my clubbing outfit is a lovely way to relax after clubbing.

724: Hell

Explain xkcd: It's 'cause you're dumb.
Jump to: navigation, search
There's also a Katamari level where everything is just slightly bigger than you, and a Mario level with a star just out of reach.
Title text: There's also a Katamari level where everything is just slightly bigger than you, and a Mario level with a star just out of reach.

[edit] Explanation

Tetris is a game where the player has to manipulate falling blocks into forming complete rows, which will then be deleted and give points to the player. This comic is a play on this, presenting the player with a version of the game with a curved bottom that renders forming rows nearly impossible. Hell is a mythological and/or religious concept of a posthumous punishment for wrongdoers, depicted in many religions as eternal torment. Here the Tetris player feels he is in Hell when he tries to play this game.

The title text presents similar situations where frustration is likely to occur. Katamari Damacy is a video game in which the player controls a sticky sphere which grows by assimilating objects smaller than itself - so gameplay would be extremely frustrating if none of the objects available is smaller than your sphere. Super Mario is a long-running franchise of platforming games; in some of the 3-dimensional games (beginning with Super Mario 64), levels are completed by collecting large, golden Power Stars - so it would be very frustrating if one is impossible to reach. The last part may also be a reference to the Greek myth of Tantalus; as punishment for cannibalism, he suffers in Hades, confined to a pool with a fruit tree above it. As his punishment, the fruit branches on the tree recoil every time he tries to eat, and the water recedes every time he tries to drink.

Also see comic 888: Heaven, which presents an inverse situation in which the Tetris game provides unfairly perfect pieces to help the player win.

There is a playable version of this comic at Kongregate, which, unsurprisingly, is frustratingly difficult (but not impossible) to play.

[edit] Transcript

[The panel shows the display of a Tetris game where the bottom of the pit is curved into a semicircle making the two blocks at the bottom, a square and a reverse L piece lean crookedly towards each other at the bottom of the pit; an S piece is falling and the next piece is an L piece.]

That playable version is actually quite fun. My best was 22 pieces on the screen (screenshot). Shine (talk) 18:20, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Guess what, this is actually scorable. The trick is to form a solid base with your blocks, and play normal tetris over that. 13:56, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

I'm not sure if saying the hell came "cannot be won" is worth saying. Keep in mind, the regular game of tetris can't be won either. 01:29, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Super Mario Bros with a star just out of reach - reference to Tantalus? 03:23, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

For posterity, there's also not tetris, by stabyourself.net, which is similarly hellish in that you freely rotate the tetronimoes, and they will most likely not align perfectly, although its bottom border is a straight line. -- 11:53, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

New U.S. Sanctions on Foreign Companies Doing Business in Iran

Posted by at 11:23 pm on November 22, 2011
Category: Iran SanctionsOFAC

Iranian oil fieldThe White House signed, on November 19, Executive Order 13590, which increased the sanctions on foreign firms doing business in Iran. An official copy of the executive order has not been released but it is described in this “Fact Sheet” released by the Treasury Department. A State Department briefing held yesterday provides further background on the new sanctions.

The new sanctions expand on the sanctions on foreign persons dealing with the Iranian energy sector that started with the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996 and continued with last year’s Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability and Divestment Act of 2010 (“CISADA”).

Under CISADA, foreign persons can be sanctioned if they make investments that contribute to the development of petroleum resources in Iran. Investment is defined to exclude the simple sale of goods to Iranian petroleum companies. Under the new sanctions, the transactional amounts are reduced to $1,000,000 per transaction or $5,000,000 in a twelve-month period. Additionally, the new sanctions will cover the simple sale of goods in excess of these amounts.

The new sanctions now go beyond the petroleum industry in Iran and will include the petrochemical industry. Foreign companies will face sanctions if they provide goods, services, or technology to Iran that could “directly and significantly facilitate the maintenance or expansion of its domestic production of petrochemical products.” The triggers for these petrochemical sales are even lower than the triggers for petroleum investments and cover a single transaction that has a fair market value of $250,000 or more or a series of transactions valued at $1 million or more over a 12-month period.

This blog has pointed out before that secondary boycotts of this sort violate U.S. obligations under GATT. The European Union filed a complaint with the WTO against the secondary boycotts contained in the Iran Sanctions Act, a complaint that was withdrawn when the Clinton administration agreed to use the national security exception in the Act to permit certain European investments in Iran. However, given all the accumulating evidence that Iran is in fact attempting to develop a nuclear bomb, it seems unlikely that the E.U. will seek a WTO remedy with respect to these new sanctions.

(For an excellent summary of Iran sanctions legislation, take a look at this excellent CRS study from October.)

There is no “accumulating evidence that Iran is in fact attempting to acquire a nuclear bomb” – you really should look into this some more before making such blanket declarations. The latest IAEA report simply reproduced allegations from the past, which the previous IAEA head had refused to endorse.

Comment by hass on November 23rd, 2011 @ 1:31 pm

Clif – a very helpful post. Thanks.

Comment by John Liebman on November 23rd, 2011 @ 1:52 pm

Thank you Cliff but the IAEA report is in fact merely repeating allegations that were already made public in Sept 2009,

The IAEA at the time had refused to release these allegations because the IAEA judged it insufficiently verified. The material was leaked nonetheless, and this is what the IAEA had to say about it:

“With respect to a recent media report, the IAEA reiterates that it has no concrete proof that there is or has been a nuclear weapon programme in Iran.”
(See http://www.iaea.org/newscenter/mediaadvisory/2009/ma200919.html )

In fact the latest IAEA report has come under significant criticism too. You really need to keep up.

Comment by hass on November 26th, 2011 @ 11:07 pm

    Gee, Amina, I am more than a little surprised that you would, after being embarrased by having incorrectly called Kelley the “previous head” of the IAEA, skulk back here and try to prove your point with three links which do nothing but cite the Kelley statement that you touted in your first comment. And then that after such an enormous gaffe you, of all people, think you need to tell me to “keep up.”. But, of course, since you don’t have the courage to post your comment under your real name, it’s easy for you to be both careless and insulting

    As I said, the report itself says that the IAEA has received new information, and my readers here are smart enough to follow the link, read the report and draw their own conclusions without being blinded, as you are apparently, by personal ties to Iran.

Women Beware Women: National Theatre, London

THOMAS MIDDLETON certainly packed it all into this Jacobean revenge tragedy where love, adultery, rape and murder follow hot on one another's lusty heels.

WOMEN BEWARE WOMEN A top quality cast strengthens this production WOMEN BEWARE WOMEN: A top-quality cast strengthens this production []

Here is a court thick with corruption and Marianne Elliott's almost hypnotic new production updates the action to the late Fifties/ early Sixties and perfectly captures the louche immorality, from the decadent marble set with sweeping staircase to the seductive saxophone music that recalls seedy jazz clubs.

This is a world where women are malleable pawns in a game of intrigue and vice and are also, in the character of the scheming widow Livia, the great manipulators of each others' downfalls.

The plot is roughly this: Bianca has eloped to Italy with Leantio, a poor clerk who practically keeps her under house arrest until the reigning duke turns his lascivious eye to her and the aristocratic Livia serves her up to him on a platter.

Livia is also meddling in the affairs of her niece Isabella who, although condemned to marry a dim-witted heir, is in love with her uncle, an incestuous union Livia plots to bring about by deceiving Isabella.

It all adds up to a typically Jacobean-style bloodbath but this terrific production gives us enough humour to lighten the load, particularly with Harry Melling's ludicrously camp heir.

In a top-quality cast, Harriet Walter is magisterial as Livia and Lauren O'Neil makes for an impassioned Bianca who still seems in love with Leantio (Samuel Barnett) even after she pursues her pragmatic course with the rapist duke.

Box Office: 020 7452 3000, until July 4

 Male Extra – Male Enhancement Pills

The proven male enhancement formula capsules, whіch with 1500mg dosage аre thе mоѕt powerful уou cаn buy!

  • Guaranteed growth up to 0.8 to 2.6 inches when used regularly
  • Recommended by most doctors with no prescription required when you purchase
  • Well studied
  • Instant Performer for more lasting and raging erections

Men may need more than encouragement and the caresses to perform better and longer; sometimes even real men need supplements to enhance their sexual performance. It’s no surprise current lifestyle and unhealthy habits give rise to male sexual performance problems like premature ejaculation, reduced libido or impotence. Men are more exposed to work stress, family stress and even relationship stress which could be hard to expect a delightful performance in bed.

There is so much talk about a new male enhancement formula online and men and of course women are asking what makes this product work. Introducing Male Extra; it’s the product that sets men from real men. It will boost sexual performance in just a matter of minutes plus it guarantees harder and bigger erections, improved sex drive, ability to maintain sexual desire and most of all intensely powerful orgasms that will blow your mind away.

What is Male Extra exactly?

Male Extra is a male enhancement formula that is made of a unique blend of natural ingredients that will help boost male sexual performance. It guarantees an increase of 0.8 to 2.6 inches in the size of the male penis when erect; improve sexual desire and total control over your orgasms. The usual dose of Male Extra is 3 pills a day and you will soon be able to perform better and longer.

Male Extra is not just another male enhancement product but developed by intense study on the ideal natural ingredients that will make it work. It has the following ingredients:

  • 600mg L-Arginine as main ingredient. 600mg is double the dose found in leading male enhancement pills online and offline. L-Arginine helps improve male performance by improving blood circulation in the male reproductive system; blood vessels dilate and blood rushes more to the penis. When L-Arginine levels are maintained, overall male enhancement is assured.
  • 500mg pure pomegranate which is appropriately called “nature’s Viagra.” This fruit is known to boost male health, improve the penis size and possibly allow males to stay harder and longer.
  • Creatine which is important in energy production ideal for muscle contraction. It also increases ATP production so males can improve their libido and perform better and longer.
  • 25mg Cordyceps which can improve sexual energy in males which in turn improve sexual intensity and desire.
  • 45mg zinc which is a mineral that is important in improving the health of sperm. This important nutrient is also ideal to protect the body from the effects of harmful free radicals. Most modern diets lack zinc and Male Extra provides adequate amounts of zinc for better health.

  • With 24 hours a day,  7 days a week customer service

What are the pros and cons of using Male Extra?

  • Males who have used this supplement enjoy fuller and happier sex lives which are a huge relief for partners who have relationship problems.
  • With continued use, males develop longer and fuller erections unlike other brands that just improve your libido.
  • It is easier to use and very practical since you will only use it once a day. You will never forget to take your dose since it is a single dose in a day.
  • Male Extra also promotes better overall health. You will have better energy to do more activities each day plus improves psychological health as well.
  • It is economical to use since you will only take 3 tablets each day; other supplements require you to take two or more tablets after each meal or to be applied on the male organ as a spray or a cream which could be more impractical and costly.
  • Male Extra has no known side effects since all its ingredients are well researched by specialists. It has been one of the most potent male enhancement formula studied by the Nauka University and Research Centre.
  • Ingredients are potent and natural. You will never find a male enhancement formula with this potency; other brands can’t even match Male Extra’s dosage.

Male Extra is not for people who are sensitive to its components. Therefore if you are sensitive to L-Arginine, Creatine or from extracts of pomegranate then you need to consult your doctor before using this male enhancement formula. For males who have medical conditions like diabetes, heart problems, hypertension and other cardio and circulatory conditions, it’s again important to seek medical consult before using this supplement and all other male enhancement formulas.

Male Extra compared to other male performance enhancers in the market:

Recent studies have compared Male Extra to other popular male enhancement brands like Vimax Male Enhancement, Prosolution and VigRX Plus and the results are clear. Only Male Extra has effective ingredients like L-Arginine, pomegranate, L-Methionine, Cordyceps, niacin, zinc and MSM, all known to improve men’s sexual health and performance. Prosolution has zinc and Cordyceps but it lacks important natural ingredients that are known to promote better sexual function in men. Overall, Male Extra has the ideal combination of natural ingredients which is why it is the most recommended by more health professionals.

Male Extra proves to be the most efficient male enhancement formula as evidenced by tests, research and comparative analyses. It is also the ideal supplement that will not just improve sexual desire and performance but will also improve penis size and overall male health. It is doctor approved and available without a prescription; you can also avail of their special money back guarantee as well as their great free items which can further enhance your sexual performance and health. Male Extra is therefore highly recommended to anyone who would like to improve or enhance their sexual desire, performance and to reduce male sexual problems like impotence, premature ejaculation and decreased orgasm power. This is truly one of the best natural products to try.

    I hаvе experimented wіth jelqing іn thе past, but hаve alwауѕ got frustrated whеn hours lаtеr mу penis returned tо іtѕ original size. I began uѕing MaleExtra 2 months ago аnd love thе effect thіs dual action system haѕ hаd оn mу love life.

    The exercises аre incredibly easy tо dо аnd onlу 8 minutes long, meaning therе iѕ nоt muсh prep work. Yet thе difference thеѕe simple exercises havе made tо mу penis size ѕtill leaves mе іn shock. So fаr I hаvе managed tо increase my penis size bу 1.9 inches, but mу favourite feature haѕ tо bе thе multiple orgasms. I hаve alwayѕ wondered whаt mу wife wаs оn about, but nоw I totally gеt hоw trulу satisfying theу are. Thanks MaleExtra.

When will agricultural demand rebound?*

AgDM Newsletter
August 2009

Recession has weighed heavily on the demand for agricultural products. Food consumption in the United States has shifted to lower-end products, cutting restaurant sales and purchases of high-priced meat items. Demand for gasoline has also weakened, dampening ethanol activity. And, the demand for U.S. agricultural exports has plunged as recession tightens its grip on the rest of the world.

The free fall in demand has led to sharply lower agricultural commodity prices, abruptly ending the U.S. farm boom. Profit margins have narrowed for crop producers and evaporated for livestock producers. The resulting drop in farm incomes contributed to slightly lower farmland values at the end of 2008.

The timing of a rebound for agriculture rests on how soon the global economy recovers and the demand for agricultural products returns. Current economic forecasts predict a global rebound in 2010. Demand for U.S. agricultural exports will bounce back. But will the bounce be strong enough to spark another farm boom?

Ag demand falls

By the end of 2008, the U.S. recession had spread to the agricultural economy. Food consumption patterns in the United States shifted as consumers ate fewer meals at restaurants and more lower-priced foods at home. People also limited their travel, trimming demand for gasoline and ethanol. As the global recession spread, foreign consumption of U.S. food products also fell sharply.

chart 1Food demand. Food is a necessity good. As incomes fall, people typically don’t eat less, but they do change the types of food they consume. In essence, they cut their food bills by eating out less and eating lower-priced foods at home.

Since World War II, rising incomes have allowed U.S. residents to steadily increase the amount of food they consume away from home - but not during economic downturns.1 The share of food consumed outside the home has contracted during each of the last five recessions (1973, 1981, 1991, 2001 and 2008). In the first two months of 2009, away-from-home food sales declined more sharply than at-home food sales (Chart 1).

Restaurant consumption patterns also change during economic contractions as people tend to eat at lower-priced restaurants. The biggest declines appear to hit white-table-cloth restaurants, while sales at fast-food restaurants tend to increase. For example, the National Restaurant Association projected that full-service restaurant sales would fall 2.5 percent in 2009 compared to a 0.4 percent increase in limited-service (quick-service) restaurants.

As people eat at home more often and tend to eat lower-priced foods, they also tend to change their demand for meat and other protein food. Compared to vegetables, protein is a high-priced food. During good times, per-capita incomes rise and protein consumption increases. In developed countries, people consume almost twice the amount of calories from animal products than people in lesser-developed countries.2 But per-capita meat consumption in the U.S. fluctuates with national economic growth. Since World War II, meat consumption has typically declined during recessions, and this trend is expected to continue in 2009.3

While U.S. consumers eat less meat in recessions, they also shift to lower-priced meats. The highest-priced meat is beef, followed by pork and poultry. In 2008, demand fell roughly 5 percent for both beef and pork, while poultry demand edged up.4

Fuel demand. The recession has also cut fuel demand, placing downward pressure on crude oil, gasoline, ethanol and crop prices. Because ethanol displaces gasoline, ethanol prices track U.S. gasoline and ultimately crude oil prices. In the first half of 2008, the strong demand for crude oil and gasoline propelled a sharp rise in the price of ethanol. But by the end of the year, the recession had cut the demand for transportation fuel. According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), U.S. retail gasoline sales in 2008 declined almost 5 percent.

chart 2Lower fuel demand and falling gas prices quickly transferred to falling ethanol consumption, prices and profitability. After peaking in August 2008, ethanol consumption fell, causing prices and production to soften. The strained profitability in the ethanol industry contributed to the idling of several ethanol plants.

Falling ethanol demand and lower prices in turn placed downward pressure on corn prices. Corn costs account for the bulk of ethanol production costs (Shapouri and Gallagher). After paying for fixed costs, current ethanol prices of $1.50 per gallon could support corn prices of $3.20 per bushel (assuming one bushel of corn produces 2.8 gallons of ethanol). These figures are well below current corn prices - and well below 2006 levels, when higher ethanol prices supported higher corn prices (Chart 2).5 As a result, today’s falling demand and prices for ethanol have placed downward pressure on prices for corn. Falling corn prices then spill over into other crop markets as the competition for corn acres softens.

Export demand. As the financial crisis intensified and the recession spread globally, U.S. agricultural export activity also fell sharply. In early 2008, U.S. agricultural exports surged with stronger growth in developing countries, a fall in the value of the dollar, and lean global supplies from drought-reduced harvests across the globe. Higher incomes and a rising middle class in developing countries allowed many people to expand their food diets to include U.S. food products. At the same time, the lower value of the dollar helped make U.S. foods more affordable to foreign consumers.

The positive gains in U.S. export activity, however, could not be sustained. First, a rebound in foreign agricultural production trimmed demand for U.S. agricultural goods. Second, the financial crisis contributed to lower export activity. In September 2008, the threat of a global financial meltdown triggered a global flight to "safe haven" securities, primarily U.S. Treasuries. As demand for Treasuries increased, so did demand for the dollar, boosting its value and making U.S. agricultural goods less affordable to foreign buyers.

Third, the recession spread globally, trimming economic growth in foreign countries and cutting demand for U.S. agricultural goods. The pace of world economic growth is expected to slow even more sharply in 2009 before rebounding in 2010. According to the International Monetary Fund, softer economic growth in developing countries is expected to barely offset economic contractions in developed countries. Weaker income growth in developing countries will limit the changes in developing country diets, which have boosted U.S. exports over the past few years.

chart 3 and 4 As a result, the global recession is likely to cut U.S. agricultural exports in 2009 and 2010, but exports could strengthen as a gradual rebound emerges in the global economy. USDA projections indicate that exports should rebound modestly in 2011 with a soft turnaround in global economies (Chart 3). The biggest declines in export activity are expected to emerge in the crop industry. Crop exports are expected to fall with sharp declines in corn and soybean exports. Exports of livestock products are also expected to decline in 2009, led by steep declines in dairy products.

The farm boom stalls

As softer agricultural demand has led to sharp declines in agricultural commodity prices and in turn lower farm income expectations, farmers have cut capital expenditures. In addition, farmland prices have dipped below the highs posted in 2008.

In the first half of 2008, U.S. crop prices jumped sharply, rising 35 percent above year-ago levels. The strongest gains emerged in corn, soybeans and wheat. After softening during the first part of 2008, U.S. livestock prices rebounded in the summer barbeque season. But with shrinking demand over the second half of the year, both crop and livestock prices retreated. By March 2009, U.S. crop and livestock prices had dropped roughly 20 percent below 2008 highs (Chart 4).

In 2009, weaker commodity prices are expected to trim farm revenues.6 Gross revenues are expected to fall almost 10 percent. The biggest revenue declines are expected in the crop sector, led by falling corn and wheat revenues. Livestock revenues are also expected to slip in 2009, led by sharp declines in the dairy industry.

Despite lower production costs, declining revenues in 2009 are expected to cut farm profitability. Early in the year, falling grain and energy prices led to declines in feed, fertilizer and fuel costs, trimming farm production costs by almost 5 percent. Despite the lower feed costs, livestock producers are struggling to post profits for the year because revenues have fallen more sharply. Crop producers, by contrast, are expected to enjoy positive profit margins, albeit narrow ones. Together, lower revenues and input costs are projected to clip net farm incomes by 20 percent in 2009. Nevertheless, incomes will remain historically high (Chart 5).

Eroding farm income expectations have slashed capital spending by farmers. In the fourth quarter of last year, Federal Reserve surveys reported steep contractions in capital expenditures. In the Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City and chart 5Minneapolis Federal Reserve districts, the number of agricultural bankers reporting contractions in farm capital spending rose sharply. Moreover, according to the Association of Equipment Manufacturers, tractor sales fell 20 percent during the first three months of 2009. Weaker sales are leading to reduced production at agricultural equipment manufacturers.

The expected declines in farm income are also clipping farmland values throughout the Corn Belt. According to Federal Reserve surveys, farmland values fell with the decline in commodity prices in the fourth quarter of 2008. In the Kansas City District, nonirrigated farmland values declined 6 percent from September to December 2008 - but remained above levels posted the previous year. The strongest declines occurred in the eastern parts of Nebraska. The Federal Reserve Banks of Chicago and Minnesota also reported similar farmland values declines in the fourth quarter, although prices remained well above year-ago levels. As commodity prices firmed in the first quarter of 2009, farmland values, especially high-quality farmland, have stabilized.

When will the farm economy rebound?

With demand shrinking and the farm boom ending, many wonder when the agricultural economy will rebound. After a global expansion of monetary and fiscal stimulus, current forecasts suggest an economic recovery in 2010. The farm rebound hinges on renewed strength in food and fuel consumption.

Current U.S. economic forecasts point to some level of stabilization in second half of 2009 and a moderate rebound in 2010.The most recent projections from the Federal Reserve System indicate sharp declines in the first half of the year, with the economy stabilizing in the second half and posting a relatively tame 2.5 to 3.3 percent rebound in 2010.7 Since WWII, U.S. economic growth in the first year after a recession has averaged more than 4 percent.

World economies are expected to follow a similar path. According to the World Bank, world growth is expected to contract in 2009, as shrinking economic activity in developed, industrialized countries offsets weak gains in developing countries. World economic growth is expected to rebound moderately in 2010.

A farm rebound will depend heavily on the strength of the rebound both in the U.S. and globally. Domestically, stronger U.S. incomes would help increase restaurant sales and meat consumption. Moreover, rising incomes and stronger demand would support U.S. fuel consumption and ethanol demand. Stronger fuel demand would push up gasoline prices and contribute to higher ethanol prices, which in turn would place upward pressure on corn prices.

chart 6A stronger global economy and rising incomes in developing countries would also increase the demand for food and U.S. agricultural products. In developing countries, rising incomes are often used to improve the diets of the population. For example, in China, the rise in income over the past decade coincided with a sharp increase in the caloric intake of Chinese residents (Chart 6). Similarly, large caloric gains were also reported in other developing countries that experienced strong income growth. As the global economy strengthens and developing countries rebound, so will the demand for foods, especially proteins for which American producers are highly competitive. Prospects of stronger global demand in 2010 have raised long-term projections of U.S. farm income. Various forecasts expect a modest recovery in farm incomes in 2010 (USDA and FAPRI). However, farm incomes are not expected to return to 2008 levels for several years. A major driver of farm profits is export activity. Following historical trends, stronger farm incomes will depend on export activity, global incomes and the value of the dollar.

In sum, the global recession has slashed the demand for agricultural products. Global demand for U.S. food products has fallen and ethanol demand has declined. Commodity prices in the United States have dropped from historical highs, paring farm incomes, capital spending and real estate values. The timing and strength of a farm rebound depends on a rebound in global food and fuel consumption. Thus, the U.S. farm economy is expected to rebound in 2010, but the recovery may not reach the record highs of 2008 any time soon.

Use these extra birthdays as an excuse to celebrate!

Why is my age different on other planets?

One year is usually taken to mean an Earth year, the time taken for the Earth to revolve around the Sun. However, since each planet takes a different amount of time to revolve around the Sun, a year is not the same length of time on different planets. This means your age is different when measured in years on different planets.

Ferrari Dino 156

Ferrari Dino 156 image

active: 1961
Team: Scuderia Ferrari SpA

Team: Vittorio Jano (TD), Carlo Chiti (CD)
Drivers: Phil Hill, Wolfgang von Trips

Ferrari joined the rear-engine revolution with the Ferrari 156 "Sharknose". Designed by Ferrari's new designer, Carlo Chiti, the chassis itself was a tubular spaceframe that proved serviceable but could not match the designs of Lotus or BRM. Visually though, the car was beautiful, simple and remarkable at the same time. At the front it features the renowned "sharknose", named because of its distinctive two-fold air inlet. The complete rear end was elegantly covered by bodywork, improving its aerodynamic efficiency.

The star of this car however was the 120 degrees V6 engine that was a developed for the new regulations. Because the FIA had equalled F1 and F2 engine regulations by limiting maximum displacement to 1.5 litre, The new engine was designed by Vittorio Jano and Alfredo "Dino" Ferrari. Due to the latter's untimely death, Enzo Ferrari decided to name all 6 cylinder engines "Dino". The angle of the cylinder blocks allowed for the engine to have a lower centre of gravity. Because the engine was substantially wider, its rear placement was deemed necessary. Importantly, except for being dominant in power, the engine was also lighter than the competition, including the Coventry-Climax engine which the British teams were using.

While the British teams argued about the necessity of the new formula Ferrari had a brand new car and engine to start the season. The cars first season bore fruit with five victories out of seven races including a 1-2-3-4 finish at Spa. Only tremendous victories at Monaco and the Nurburgring by Stirling Moss could stop the red cars. The World Championship was a battle between Phil Hill and von Tripp and was won by American Phil Hill. His three victories providing the winning margin. Unfortunately the successful season was marred by the tragic death of Hill's teammate, Wolfgang von Tripp and 14 spectators at Monza.

The lack of a competitive engine for the British teams changed in 1962 and Ferrari failed to win a race. Ferrari was also racked by internal politics which resulted in the departure of eight top Ferrari executives including Carlo Chiti. The Ferrari 156 continued to be used for two more years with John Surtees and Lorenzo Bandini scoring single wins in 1963 and 1964 respectively.
