Though skeptics were initially unenthused by the 2012 Les Miserable film, it went on to win loads of awards and cemented itself one of our favourite guilty pleasure, star-studded musical adaptations. Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Russel Crowe, Amanda Seyfried and Eddie Redmayne: what a quintet.
It's unspoken rule (we've decided) that all subsequent musicals recreated for the silver screen have to stand up to the Oscar, Golden Globe, BAFTA and SAAG Award winning tale. Few have come close - Mamma Mia! is of course up there with the best of them - and now that the cast for the upcoming rendition of Cats has been announced, we're desperately trying to predict how it'll fare.
So far we know that Jennifer Hudson (of Dreamgirls fame), Sir Ian Mckellan (lets not forget his sterling performance as Cogsworth in Beauty And The Beast), James Cordon (remember Into The Woods?) and Taylor Swift (erm, from the Taylor Swift music videos) are due to star in Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical. And while the amalgamation of somewhat rogue celebrities is common practice in the musical film genre - John Travolta, Amanda Bynes and Queen Latifah in Hairspray was exceptional - we're yet to visualise how the new Cats line up is going to work.
What we do know is that the film will be in the hands of_Les Mis_director Tom Hooper, so it's safe to expect a similar gloriously deep, dark, close-up-heavy treatment.According to Mail Online, it's been confirmed that Jennifer Hudson will play Grizabella, the Glamour Cat who sings the play's iconic powerhouse belter,_Memory._A worthy role for an Academy Award winning performer who is well versed in movie musical territory.
It's also understood that Ian Mckellan will take the role of wise Old Deuteronomy (as close to a feline Gandalf as we imagine possible) however Taylor Swift and James Cordon's parts are yet to be announced. A mixture of high anticipation and confusion is entirely appropriate as we wait to hear more about the film. Further casting is apparently underway so we've got our fingers crossed for four or five more high profile A-listers coming out of the woodwork to star in the production.
MORE: Films By Female Directors To Be Excited About In 2018
1. A Wrinkle In Time
Based on the book of the same name by Madeleine L'Engle, a movie adaptation directed by Ava DuVernay is on the way and if you haven't watched the trailer/seen that incredible Time magazine cover, you need to get on board because it's really exciting. It's a fantasy adventure film starring Oprah, Mindy Kaling and Reese Witherspoon and with this film Ava DuVernay has become the fourth woman and first African American woman to direct a film with a budget of more than $100 million.
23 March 2018
2. The Spy Who Dumped Me
Directed by Susanna Fogel, The Spy Who Dumped me is a comedy with Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon starring as BFFs who find out that the guy who dumped one of them is - wait for it- a spy. At the moment we know very little else about the film beyond the fact that Mila wears a blond wig at some point but we'll keep you posted.
3. Lady Bird
Greta Gerwig's directorial debut comes in the form of Lady Bird, the already hotly anticipated coming of age story that we all wish existed back when we were still in school. In short, it's a beautiful film about a young woman who likes to go by the name Lady Bird who is trying to navigate all of the usual suspects: her mother, her best friend, going to college, sex and, well, herself.
16 February 2018
Kay Cannon who wrote the screenplays for the Pitch Perfect films is the director behind this comedy about three parents who find out about their daughters' plan to have sex on Prom night (otherwise referred to as a Sex Pact, apparently) and try to stop it happening. ILeslie Mann is in it and she's great.
6 April 2018
5. The Darkest Minds
This is another book adaptation that you're going to want to get familiar with real quick. Directed by Jennifer Yuh Nelson and starring the incredible Mandy Moore, Amandla Stenberg and Gwendoline Crisitie, The Darkest Minds is all about the 2% of kids in America who survive a crazy disease and end up developing superpowers. It's got a bit of a Hunger Games meets Divergent vibe if you ask me.
14 December 2018
6. Can You Ever Forgive Me
Get ready for another dose of comedy fave Melissa McCarthy in this Marielle Heller directed project. She stars as the best-selling celebrity biographer Lee Israel (the film's based on her memoir, you see) who was well known for profiling big shots like Katherine Hepburn and Estee Lauder back in the 70s and 80s. That ism until she lost her groove and ended up selling forged letters and stuff.
7. High Life
Celebrated French director Claire Denis has only gone and directed her first English language movie. It's a sci-fi drama starring none other than Robert Pattinson, Juliette Binoche and Mia Goth and pretty much focuses on a group of convicts who are sent to explore a black hole (knowing that they probably won't be returning from space alive) in return for having their jail sentences reduced. It's about a father-daughter relationship, it's about family, it's about home, it's about the unknown.
8. You Were Never Really Here
And finally we have a thriller directed by Lynne Ramsay that promises to be the sort of thing that lingers in your mind for a while after watching. You Were Never Really Here is about a private 'contractor' who is tasked with recovering a teenage girl who's gone missing. It's pretty dark and violent and intense but packed a resounding punch at Cannes last year.

This monograph, on a subject of great interest to all practitioners, was prepared by a group of fourteen well known specialists, each of whom wrote one or more chapters on some phase of cardiac pain in which he is particularly interested. The result is a comprehensive volume. The manner in which the editor has assembled the material is attractive, the printing is good and the illustrations and tables that appear are clear and easily understandable.
As regards contents, all one can say is that each chapter is delightfully written and is accompanied with a good bibliography. The various phases of cardiac pain are discussed, all the way from the early history of angina pectoris and coronary occlusion through the physiology, pathology and clinical manifestations of these disorders to their most recent therapeutic attack by modern surgical methods. On the whole, the book is extremely good; it can be enthusiastically recommended

Lawn Care Tips for August
Sunday, 1 August, 2021
Posted in August Lawn Care Tips
Crane Flies will be laying eggs on the lawn in August; specialist spraying can reduce the number of eggs laid, therefore reducing the volume of leatherjackets in the rootzone.
Lawn Pest Control
Crane Flies will be laying eggs on the lawn in August; specialist spraying can reduce the number of eggs laid, therefore reducing the volume of leatherjackets in the rootzone. A course of four to six spray applications during August and September can reduce leatherjacket infestations by up to 68%. This needs to be followed with an application of nematodes in September.
Lawn Disease Control
Red-Thread and Pink Patch are rife on a lot of lawns at the moment, fortunately both can be controlled relatively easily. Red Thread and Pink Patch tend to show as one disease, starting as small round patches of dying grass and getting larger and joining together as the season progresses. They can be very easily confused with drought but will not green-up after rain or irrigation.
The disease(s) show as red cotton-like threads along with small pink cotton wool balls, the round patches have irregular edges and will join together to form a general 'blotchy appearance' of yellow dead grass with a pink/red tinge. The disease(s) can be controlled with a fungicide, applied twice per season or 'fed out' with a very high nitrogen foliar feed. The disadvantage of using a fungicide is that it will also kill the beneficial fungi in the soil that help with the breakdown of thatch and will also kill the fungi that encourage strong root growth, for that reason, we prefer to feed out with nitrogen. Improving growing conditions by spiking, scarifying and applying correct fertilisers will also help to prevent disease attack.
The lawn is growing rapidly now but it may have sparse growth and weak colour, particularly if we are in a dry spell. The application of Spring fertiliser has lost its effectiveness by now so feeding is essential to help it through the late Summer months. Nitrogen is very easily leached-out during heavy rain (and irrigation) so needs replacing every season. Application of nitrogen fertilisers will help prevent diseases damaging the sward. Phosphate and potash tend to remain in the soil for a longer period. The fertilisers we use are manufactured here in Somerset and we've had fantastic feedback from customers saying that their lawns have never looked so lush and green.
We use two types of Spring/Summer fertilisers:
- 3-month combined fast and slow release. First application in April/May followed by second application in June/July.
- 6-month slow release which will last throughout the whole Summer. Applied from March throughout the Summer months. Activated by soil temperature. Ideal for general utility lawns, not suitable for fine turf.
There are advantages and disadvantages of both types of feed and we can advise on the most suitable. Both fertilisers contain slow-release nitrogen to encourage strong green growth, phosphate to encourage strong deep rooting (this will help survival in drought conditions) and potash to help build strength and disease resistance. I can also hand-mix and apply organic fertilisers such as 'dried blood' and 'hoof and horn' if you prefer.
We tend to carry out some form of renovation almost every month of the year. August tends to be a queiter month. The majority of work tends to be improving 'tired' lawns rather than re-turfing, which can be very expensive.
Re-turfing a tired lawn is very often a pointless exercise because the problems that caused the original lawn to decline will still be present after the new turf is laid... so, the cycle of decline starts all over again on the new lawn!
The main problems I encounter in Somerset are: Heavy clay soil, compaction, lack of feeding, pest/disease damage, mower scalping, bare patches, lawns in heavy shade, waterlogging, new lawns established from sub-standard turf, incorrect use of chemicals and general neglect.
A typical renovation will consist of some, or all, of the following:
- Lawn aerating (spiking)
- Lawn scarifying (severity depending on season)
- Lawn moss control
- Application of selective lawn weedkiller
- Lawn topdressing
- Lawn overseeding with the correct mix suitable for your soil/aspect (not possible with turf)
- Nematode application
- Application of lawn fertiliser
As the name suggests, this is 'vertical mowing', the blades will cut the growth of trailing weeds preventing them from being so invasive. It will also thin the sward and help remove dead leaf growth, therefore enabling lighter scarification in the autumn. Verticutting is a much lighter operation than scarifying, the blades don't touch the moss or thatch and remain in the leaf zone only. Verticutting can be carried out before the lawn is mown during the spring and summer but shouldn't be done in drought conditions as it will cause additional stress.
The lawn should be cut on a weekly basis in August with the height of cut adjusted according to growth and weather conditions. No more than one third of the grass should be removed in a single cut, any more than this will cause stress and stunting, this is why fortnightly mowing can cause severe yellowing. In dry/drought conditions the height of cut should be raised to reduce stress and yellowing.
Most people now tend to use rotary mowers, either petrol or electric. We offer rotary and cylinder mowing:
- Cylinder mowing gives a better-quality cut but is only suitable for fine flat lawns. The scissor action of the blades gives a superior cut.
- Rotary mowing is ideal for general mowing of utility lawns, the clippings can be collected or mulched. We have either pedestrian mowers or small tractor mowers.
We offer cutting widths of 16", 19", 21" or 30" in rotary mowers and 20" in cylinder. Prices are calculated on size of lawn in square metres... not per hour.

It’s Water Marble Wednesday! Today I’ve done another layered water marble. I did my first layered water marble a couple of weeks ago, but I’ve gone with a completely different look for this one. The one similarity is a colourful base marble topped with a single-colour layered marble.
Doesn’t it look cool? I really like the unique looks you can get with this method! For the base marble, I marbled using 3 neons from the Pipe Dream Polish A Night in Vegas revisited collection – High Roller, 110 Degrees, and V.I.P. Pass.
Once I’d done the base marble on all of my nails, I continued straight on to the layered marble. I used Sinful Colors Black on Black and of course, the thing that makes layered marbles like this possible – Sweet & Sour Saucy Marbles. I felt like it needed a little something to finish it off so I added a few round iridescent glitters from Born Pretty Store in lines along the black of the layered marble.
This was such a bright, fun water marble! And I really think the layering enhanced the final look – what do you think?

Guapdad 4000 has been very productive over the quarantine period releasing new music regularly. Today he shares a new song titled ‘Orgasm Full Of Pain‘ featuring Deante’ Hitchcock.
Despite the fact that the name insinuate sexuality Guapdad also touches interweave, politics, and personal struggles on the track which has become one of our favorite amongst the lots released today.
His “Rona Raps” series has been quite interesting, we have seen the rapper deliver applause-worthy songs as well as collaborate with a few artist. There is no doubt that Guapdad 4000 is headed for greatness, as he proves on ‘Orgasm Full Of Pain‘ which by the way, is a very catchy name for a songs title.

Gustavus Adolphus College’s student-led social justice group Building Bridges will be hosting their 22nd annual Conference on Saturday, March 4, beginning at 10 a.m. in Christ Chapel. The topic of discussion this year is “Uprooting Injustice: Fostering the Growth of Grassroots Movements” and will explore the necessity for grassroots activism. Tickets are available at gustavustickets.com
Noted Minnesota activists Dr. Nekima Levy-Pounds and Winona LaDuke are the keynote speakers of this year’s conference.
In addition to Levy-Pounds and LaDuke’s lectures, the conference will include a highlighted workshop and an interactive walkthrough meant to encourage the audience to bring about social change within their own communities.
The emphasis on grassroots efforts and organizations across many issues is intentional, the Building Bridges group says. “This conference is where you’ll get some of the tools that you need to take whatever you’re passionate about and put it into action,” Building Bridges co-chair and Gustavus junior Liza Long said.
Levy-Pounds, a civil rights attorney, will start off the conference following the welcome in Christ Chapel. She received the Distinguished Service Award from the Governor’s Commission in 2016 and has been named one of “40 Under 40” by Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal. Formerly a law professor at the University of St. Thomas Law School, Levy-Pounds has also served as president of the Minneapolis NAACP and recently announced her candidacy for mayor of the City of Minneapolis.
LaDuke, a two-time vice presidential candidate with Ralph Nader, has worked on issues of sustainable development of renewable energy and food systems as program director of Honor the Earth. She was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame in 2007 and is founder of the White Earth Land Recovery Project, one of the largest reservation-based nonprofit organizations in the country. A Harvard and Antioch University graduate, LaDuke has also written five books. Her keynote session will take place at 6:45 p.m. in Christ Chapel.
Social arts activist Naomi Natale will also lead a workshop that is new to the conference this year. Natale is the founding artist behind One Million Bones, a large-scale social arts practice that fuses education and hands-on artmaking to raise awareness of genocide. “She uses art as her form and that’s not a common theme that a lot of people see,” said conference co-chair and Gustavus senior Gabe Grosshuesch.
Building Bridges welcomes attendees to explore the dynamic role of grassroots action in bringing about social change. “This conference and its speakers and workshops will further educate our population on how to be members of a globally diverse world,” added Grosshuesch.

On Thursday, a Redditor named DeafSpaceWizardry shared the story of a Destiny PvP experience that, he claimed, ended in his being hacked and having his Thorn dismantled by an antagonistic player. The content of the original post has been deleted – as has the OP’s account – but the details were archived in a GameRant article that broke the story. As it turns out, DeafSpaceWizardry’s problems were not caused by another player, but by his own actions.
Before Bungie’s newest Community Manager responded to the story, both the Reddit post and GameRant article spread like wildfire in the Destiny community. Rumors of “bounty locking” resurfaced, with Redditor Fendumino claiming to have gained access to other players’ inventories. Some players, unconfident in Bungie’s attempts to respond to the issue, suggested hacking one of the Destiny Community Managers to gain attention. Fears rose, with players questioning whether disappeared items – and even characters – were lost to griefers with knowledge of the exploit.
However, Bungie’s investigation of DeafSpaceWizardry’s claims turned up no evidence that his account had been compromised. Instead, the Destiny developer stated, the player accidentally dismantled his own Thorn by trying to break down a different weapon while using an inventory management app, such as the Destiny Companion App. Bungie also stressed: “No items were dismantled via the Bungie.net API, nor is this possible” [emphasis mine].
This hasn’t stopped Destiny players from accusing Bungie of concealing potential exploits and condemning the developer for not making more prominent statements regarding the inventory management conflict. For now, however, it seems the problem in Destiny exotic disappearances lies somewhere between the screen and the controller.

In anticipation of the bankruptcy filing, Corey McCann stepped down as the company’s chief executive officer. Dr. McCann will continue to serve as a member of the Board and will provide consulting services to the company during the sale process. He will be compensated at a rate of $255 per hour for up to 30 hours per week.
In a LinkedIn post, Dr McCann thanked the employees and also urged the laid-off employees to connect with Pear alumni.
"We announced that Pear voluntarily filed for Chapter 11 and will seek to sell assets through a sales process. We also announced a reduction in force, including me. This is certainly not the outcome I envisioned when I founded Pear in 2013," said former CEO Corey McCann in a LinkedIn post.
He also thanked the Pear employees who also lost their jobs in the layoff. "I want to personally thank each and every one of our employees for all that they’ve done for Pear and for patients. You are brave, talented, hard-working, mission-driven people and one of my greatest privileges has been to work by your side. I hope that this news doesn’t lessen your enthusiasm to innovate for patients."
"The Pear team has accomplished a lot together in bringing the first Prescription Digital Therapeutics (PDTs) to market. We’ve shown that clinicians will readily prescribe PDTs. We’ve shown that patients will engage with the products. We’ve shown that our products can improve clinical outcomes. We’ve shown that our products can save payors money. Most importantly, we’ve shown that our products can truly help patients and their clinicians," he said.
"But that isn’t enough. Payors have the ability to deny payment for therapies that are clinically necessary, effective, and cost-saving. In addition, market conditions over the last two years have challenged many growth-stage companies, including us."

READ Fur Me - Learning to read is often less about intellectual limitation than about overcoming fears. Animals are ideal reading companions because they:
When a dog is listening, the environment is transformed, a child's dread is replaced by eager anticipation, and learning occurs. The handler shifts performance pressure off the child and provides support, while the child gets supervised reading practice necessary to build vocabulary, increase understanding of the material, and gain fluency as a reader.
We know of a dog who loves to come to the library and listen to people read. So if your child would like to read to him give us a call at 574-896-2841 and we can schedule an appointment. As part of the READ program we will keep track of each twenty minute session. After ten sessions the child can choose something from the goodie drawer; and after twenty sessions they get a special gift.
The fun began at 4 p.m. at the North Judson-Wayne Township Library when through our front doors there came costumed characters from favorite story books and films: Captain America, Scooby-Doo, Disney Princesses, a Fireman, a Clown, a Dinosaur, and a Teddy Bear to name a few.
Down to the children’s room they went to hear a Halloween story or two, have some fun, and when that was over they toured the corners of the library receiving treats along the way.
Then Ms. Kelsie and Ms. Donna gathered everyone together to give their parents, and us, a photo op to preserve the memory for the future. All in all, everyone seemed to have a great time.

FRESNO, Calif., July 1 With the 2009 pistachio harvest little more than two months away, pistachio growers and processors are anticipating a promising crop year with production expected to exceed 2008 levels. Growing conditions have been excellent and are expected to yield a high-quality crop of nutrient-rich pistachios to meet increasing demand.
Harvest for this year's pistachio crop will begin in September and is estimated at more than 425 million pounds with rising wholesale prices due to tight global supply. The Western Pistachio Association (WPA) reports domestic and international prices have risen due to continued strong consumer demand for pistachio's nutritional benefits and appetite appeal.
"We are on track for a vintage pistachio season in terms of crop quality," said pistachio grower and Chairman of the WPA, Mike Woolf of California Valley Land Company in Huron, CA. "Harvest lies before us, of course, but indications of a good year are strong - especially considering stable-to-slightly increased pistachio acreage, as well as cooperative weather throughout the growing season."
While preparing for the upcoming harvest, the industry is also enhancing its food safety procedures to coincide with the arrival of the new crop this fall.
"Nearly a decade ago, in 2000, the U.S. pistachio industry was progressive in establishing proactive food safety practices; today our industry is determined to make those practices and procedures stronger than ever," said Richard Matoian, WPA Executive Director. "As an industry, we are bolstering food safety guidelines to ensure pistachios are uncompromisingly safe, wholesome and delicious - just as the food industry and consumers should expect."
Earlier this year, the pistachio industry was affected by its first-ever precautionary recall due to potential Salmonella contamination. However, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Web site reports no conclusive evidence that pistachio products were ever linked to any cases of human illness. Additionally, the single processor involved in the precautionary action has worked closely with local, state and federal regulators to implement aggressive safety measures and has recently returned to full pistachio processing and roasting operations.
"The pistachio industry is moving forward with optimism, cooperation and a commitment to world-class safety standards so that everyone who enjoys our pistachios can enjoy them with confidence," said Matoian.
About the U.S. Pistachio Industry
Collectively, California, Arizona and New Mexico represent 99.99 percent of the nation's pistachio production. California comprises 98.5 percent of the total with 198,500 acres planted throughout 22 different counties. There are more than 600 growers within the pistachio community, and the annual "farm gate" value of pistachios represents $540 million to the California economy. Pistachio growers and processors employ more than 5,200 full-time workers in California alone. Pistachios are California's third largest nut commodity, behind almonds and walnuts. Foreign exports represent nearly 60 percent of overall pistachio production, with the remainder of the nuts staying within the United States.
The Western Pistachio Association
The Western Pistachio Association is a grower based agricultural trade association representing pistachio growers in California, Arizona and New Mexico. The organization works on issues vital to growers and activities that affect the U.S. pistachio industry. Pistachio nutrition research and promotion of the heart-healthy properties of pistachios are key activities conducted by the association.

From an Anchor’s Lips to Trump’s Ears to Sweden’s DisbeliefIn contrast, the previous President leapt to a conclusion about a different country than Sweden before collecting data. As I wrote in Taki’s Magazine on July 13, 2016:
By PETER BAKER and SEWELL CHAN FEB. 20, 2017
… Just like that, without white papers, intelligence reports, an interagency meeting or, presumably, the advice of his secretary of state, the president started a dispute with a longtime American friend that resented his characterization and called it false. The president’s only discernible goal was to make the case domestically for his plans to restrict entry to the United States.
Last week, on his way to Warsaw on Air Force One, President Barack Obama was looking at social media. According to The New York Times, he alerted his press secretary that: Now, you might think that’s putting the cart before the horse. Perhaps the administration should objectively evaluate the evidence first, rather than order its media flacks to dredge up some data justifying the president’s prejudices?What could possibly go wrong with President Obama spouting his racial prejudices?
But that would be wrong. Everybody knows that culture or evolution can’t have anything to do with hereditary racial differences in performance. If you even consider those possibilities, you must be one of the bad white people you’ve been warned about.
Well, in this particular case, BLM terrorists in Dallas and Baton Rouge quickly followed up on President Obama’s outrage against the racist police system in this country by assassinating eight police officers.


SO. Bought an SKB 15 3/4" rail to rail depth 4U case, want to install Hartke HA5500 head (13"). Obvious excess depth in the case. What to do with the rear portion of the amp? Or nothing at all? Are the rackmount ears sufficient to hold the head in place? Anyone have experience with this particular (or similar) situation?

My name is Allison Welch and I was born in Lancaster, SC on May 26th several years ago. I’ve been teaching Reading Recovery at Bethel, for 14 years. I grew up in a small town and went to an even smaller school, so Bethel truly feels like home to me. I graduated from Winthrop College with a Bachelor's Degree in Special Education and taught resource for seven years in Cheraw, SC before coming to Clover. I have Reading Recovery certification and have National Board Certification in the area of Early and Middle Childhood Literacy: Reading-Language Arts.I love to read and have too many favorite authors and books to name. My favorite books of all time are To Kill a Mockingbird and The Poisonwood Bible. My favorite children’s books are just as numerous, but two of my favorite children’s book authors are Patricia Polacco and Helen Lester.
There are many things that I enjoy doing. One is watching movies with my family. My absolute favorite movie is “The Princess Bride”. I really don’t enjoy cooking, but I love to bake. I also love to paint, but only have time for it during the holidays and summer vacation. Our favorite things to do as a family are dancing and singing. We have dance night every Friday at the Welch house and we plan to add karaoke to that soon! We also love to watch and play soccer. I especially enjoy watching Caleb and Brenna play. Our family favorite team is the Gamecocks! We love to watch Gamecock football and baseball!

Silver stocks are still mostly valued on silver’s value of two or more years ago. Yet the price of the silver commodity itself has gone up considerably since then. The total global production of silver was only735.9M ounces in 2010. Total fabrication demand grew by 12.8% in 2010 to a 10-year high of 878.8M ounces. This demand by itself exceeded total world production last year by 142.9M ounces. The amount demanded for use in industrial applications alone increased 20.7% in 2010 to 487.4M ounces. This is predicted to keep growing to 665.9M ounces in 2015. Industrial applications will become an increasingly important part of overall silver demand. The amount demanded for ETF investments increased 120M ounces in 2010 to approximately 547M ounces. When you add the 120M extra ounces demanded by the ETF industry, the demand for silver exceeded the silver mining production in 2010 by 262.9M ounces.
This means more and more silver will have to come from recycling/scrap. It means the price of silver is almost certain to go up for many years. It means the silver miners are likely to make increasing profits until this situation changes. The current futures price of silver is $36.19 (at the time of this writing). It is trending strongly upward. See the silver futures chart below.
The 1 year silver futures chart:
The above chart shows an approximate rise in silver price of $18/ounce since last August. Given the above data, that rise rate seems likely to continue in the near term until substitutions begin to occur for industrial uses. Even then silver use may still increase due to substitution of silver for gold and platinum in jewelry.
Silver use as an alternative for investment in gold (as a hedge against inflation) is likely to increase too. Do you think all Chinese and Indians are filthy rich? They aren’t. The growing middle classes in Russia, India, China, Brazil, and other countries will want to hedge against inflation even if they can’t afford gold. Many of these people will buy silver. Recent inflation rates in these countries are China (+5.5%), India (+9.06), Russia (+9.6), and Brazil (+6.55). The many other countries with high growth rates generally have inflation problems too. There are 44 Asian countries with a growth rate of +8% or more. Plus some slower growing or even shrinking economies may have significant inflation. Inflation is often determined largely by import prices in smaller countries. We have all heard about the myriad of countries having trouble affording food with the much higher food prices in the last year. With the rise in silver, food prices probably have not gone up (or may have gone down) relative to silver.
This all means that the future is bright for silver miners. Some of these are Pan American Silver Corp. (PAAS), Couer d'Alene Mines (CDE), Hecla Mining (HL), Compaia de Minas Buenaventura (BVN) and Silver Wheaton (SLW). These are oversold at the moment. If the overall market goes down, they could become further oversold.
However, even in that worst case scenario they will probably recover quickly. The fundamentals are that strong. Now is likely a good time to start legging in. Some of the fundamental financial data for the above miners is in the table below. The data is from TDameritrade and Yahoo Finance.

Overall, the data above is generally good. An important point is that four of the five stocks above are trading at FPE’s of 7 to 10. One, Couer d'Alene, is trading at just 1.06 times its book value. Given the book value is likely understated, you are getting great value for your money on this stock. It is also trading at the lowest FPE -- 7.74. A brief summary of some important points about each is below:
Pan American Silver Corp. is the world's second largest silver producer with seven silver mines in Mexico, Peru, Argentina, and Bolivia. There is some risk that the Bolivian mines could be nationalized. However, there has been no overt action to do this yet. Such an action would be a blow to Pan American Silver. Otherwise Pan American Silver looks like a great growth stock.
Coeur d'Alene Mines Corp. has mostly completed its major investments in its new mines. It is now in a position for its EPS numbers to benefit from its now lower costs. Coeur d'Alene also has a Bolivian mine, San Bartolome, which runs the same risk of nationalization as Pan American Silver's Bolivian mines. Notably Coeur d'Alene's Price/Book is only 1.06. That's great for a miner. Its other mines are geographically diversified in South America, Mexico, the U.S., and Australia.
Silver Wheaton Corp. acquires long term silver purchase agreements. It has 14 long term silver purchase agreements and two long term precious metal agreements. It acquires silver and gold production from counterparties in Mexico, the U.S., Greece, Sweden, Peru, Chile, Argentina, and Portugal. Its fundamentals look good for the near term. It has a long history of successfully signing lucrative purchase agreements.
Compania des Minas Buenaventura, S.A. is a precious metals (primarily gold and silver) company. It is headquartered and operates in Peru and owns or owns an interest in many mines in Peru. It is perhaps riskier being headquartered and operating in Peru. The newly elected President, Ollanta Humala, is a leftist. Although he has yet to be inaugurated, he has talked of a windfall profit tax on miners. This tax might amount to as much as a 50% increase on the current tax. The current tax is 30%. A 50% increase would mean a 45% tax on profits. Still, Compania des Minas Buenaventura has some of the best fundamental numbers among the silver miners. Humala has said he is open to talks on this subject, but it seems almost a certainty that the tax rate on miners in Peru will go up soon. Humala's inauguration is on July 28, 2011.
Hecla Mining Company mines silver, gold, zinc, and lead. It owns a mine in northern Idaho and one near Juneau, Alaska. It is perhaps safer in that sense. It has two promising development projects. One is the San Juan Silver JV in Colorado, and one is San Sebastian near Durango, Mexico. Hecla is the lowest cost silver producer in the U.S. This indicates good management. Given the current worries about government policies in Bolivia and Peru, it may be worth it to pay up for safety. Hecla’s FPE is an attractive 10.56. Of course, there is the possibility that U.S. President Obama will try to impose a windfall profits tax on U.S. miners. He has already been trying to impose "windfall profit taxes" on the oil companies. A mining "windfall profits tax" from him would not be surprising. In sum, his rhetoric sounds amazingly similar to Humala's. One should perhaps not overreact to Humala, especially when 30% of Peruvians live in poverty.
The charts below give some technical data for each stock. (Click on charts to enlarge)
The 2 year chart of PAAS:
The 2 year chart of CDE:
The 2 year char of SLW:
The 2 year chart of BVN:
The 2 year chart of HL:
These charts show the silver miners as oversold. They show an up-trending 200-day SMA for each stock. On each chart, each time in the last two years one of these stocks went below its 200-day SMA, it quickly reversed to rise above it. If history repeats itself, each of these stocks is due for a significant rise soon. The fundamentals of silver described at the beginning of this article would argue for just that happening.
If the Greek credit crisis (or other PIIGS credit crisis) suddenly deteriorates appreciably, the overall market and these stocks will likely experience further down movement. As things stand, it would appear the Greek credit crisis will be kicked down the road again. This should allow stocks to rise. The SPY (see the 1 year chart below) looks like it has bottomed (or is very near bottoming). It seems likely that now is a good time to start legging into one or more of the above described stocks. The SPY shows up as oversold on the Slow Stochastic subchart.

President and CEO of the American Petroleum Institute Mike Sommers praised the U.S. oil and gas industry as the world’s “most important” environmental movement, Friday, arguing on “Mornings with Maria” that the country needs an administration that can “continue to support” the energy industry.
MIKE SOMMERS: Well, let me say something that might be controversial to some. I think that the most important environmental movement in the world is the American oil and gas industry. It is the reason why we’ve been able to cut greenhouse gas emissions over the course of the last decade because we’ve been able to discover more natural gas. And natural gas was able to compete with coal as the primary source of power in the United States. And as you said, natural gas is 50% cleaner than coal.
We need an administration that can continue to support the American oil and gas industry because we’re still not back at the levels of production that we were prior to the pandemic. We need to continue to produce because we’re going to need these sources for decades and decades to come.

A former Perth teacher has spent the last four years making sure all the school’s ex-pupils who fell during World War One are remembered.
Dave Dykes, a retired technical teacher from Perth Academy, has been working hard to find out about the 168 pupils who are immortalised on the school’s war memorial, in a bid to mark 100 years since the end of The Great War.
Over the past few years, Dave has been helping a group of pupils from the academy calling themselves ‘Flowers of the Forest’, who wanted to learn more about those who gave their all.
The group, along with history teacher Laura Hobson, also holds a special remembrance service at the school’s war memorial on the 100th anniversary of each person’s death, with descendants travelling from as far away as Canada in attendance.
Dave explained: “We have 168 people on the WWI memorial in the academy and they died as you can imagine from 1914 until 1919 - two died after the end of the war. As close as they can to the anniversary of their death, we have a memorial where we read out a bit about the person and lay a poppy wreath.
“On a number of occasions, family members come to the school services as well. People come from all over the place, some have even come from Canada. It is great to get everyone together from the community and the school and from the Black Watch Museum.”
Dave said when he first started the project, he had no idea how big it would become and how many people would be interested.
He continued: “I am not sure I knew what I was taking on right at the beginning. But we had all these services coming up and we needed to keep finding out more information. It is amazing how it has spread.
“I spoke at a memorial service a number of years ago and it got me thinking about all the names and I suspected they all had stories to tell.
“Someone needed to find out about these 168 people and what these people were like as individuals, and I thought maybe I should be that person.
“I am proud of what we have achieved, it is very rewarding because you can see what it means to the kids and to the families. They still remember, even though it is people they have never met before.”
The group is now looking forward to a school trip to France and Belgium next month, where they will visit a number of graves belonging to the academy’s fallen soldiers. They will take with them a wreath donated after a relative of one of the men saw an appeal for information in the PA.

GRAHAM, NC -- A man in Graham was arrested after deputies said he held a female in his home against her will for several hours and assaulted her multiple times.
Officers were called to a home in the 1200 block of Small Avenue shortly after 10 a.m. Sunday for a domestic dispute call.
Investigators said the woman had several injuries when they found her; Clayton Samuel Paul was still in the home with a shotgun.

A small amount of marijuana was also found in Paul's home.

Sinfonía pyrenaica (1945)
I. Andante sostenuto - Allegro molto moderato [0:00] II. Presto non troppo [18:50] III. Allegro brioso [34:20]
An orchestral work by Spanish Basque composer Jesús Guridi (1886-1961), in which he attempts to express in music the "soul" of the Pyrenees Mountains. This is achieved in abstract terms, as there is no explicit programme for the symphony. Still, there is plenty of vivid imagery in the music and some of the main themes are derived from Basque folksongs.

Justinian I was the last great conquering Roman emperor, who dramatically increased the size of his realm although he never actually led an army in person. His long reign (527-565) was devoted to the challenging project of renovatio imperii, that is the renovation of Empire. His was the will and vision behind campaigns that saw the reconquest of Rome itself and Italy from the Ostrogoths, North Africa from the Vandals, and parts of Spain from the Visigoths. These grand schemes were largely accomplished through the services of two talented generals, Belisarius and Narses, and in spite of the distractions of wars against the Persians in the east for most of his reign and the devastation caused by bubonic plague.
This is the only book available devoted to analysing all of Justinian's campaigns on the basis of the full range of sources. Besides narrating the course and outcome of these wars, Michael Whitby analyses the Roman army of the period, considering its equipment, organization, leadership, strategy and tactics, and considers the longer-term impact of Justinian’s military ventures on the stability of the empire.
This is an excellent study of a key part of Justinian’s reign, and provides a good overview of the wide range of military activities carried out under his rule. As such it adds a great deal to other books that tend to focus on one campaign or one general.History of War

This is a thorough - and thoroughly footnoted - history of the military and paramilitary conflicts of Justinian I's long reign. The author takes the time to survey the Roman Empire's government, organisation and finances first, noting that these are vital to the prosecution of wars, before providing theatre-by-theatre breakdowns of the conflicts. Broadly speaking, this means the separate analysis of the Persian, African, Italian, Balkan and internal fronts.NetGalley, Adam Windsor
The chosen organisation approach has both positives and negatives - for instance, it helps keep the progress of each theatre more contiguous, but made it harder for me to appreciate how simultaneous conflicts were impacting each other. It can also sometimes get a little dry, with a blizzard of often similarly-named men fighting, allying and betraying each other.
Probably the key thing this account brought home was the quicksand-like nature of military alliances and social loyalties during the time. Key figures would often switch sides multiple times, with allies becoming enemies becoming subordinates becoming rebels becoming allies ... it's eye-opening how much impact personal slights and ambitions played in the fates of thousands of people.

Belisarius The Last Roman General (Paperback)
A military history of the campaigns of Belisarius, the greatest general of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Emperor Justinian. He twice defeated the Persians and reconquered North Africa from the Vandals in a single year at the age of 29, before going on to regain Spain and Italy, including Rome (briefly), from the barbarians. It discusses the evolution from classical Roman to Byzantine armies and systems of warfare, as well as those of their chief enemies, the Persians, Goths and Vandals. It reassesses Belisarius' generalship and compares him with the likes of Caesar, Alexander and Hannibal. It…By Ian Hughes

Motley Fool – Smart people do silly things with money all the time, but some mistakes can be much worse than others. We asked three of our experts what they consider to be the top money mistake to avoid, and here’s what they had to say.
The most pernicious financial trap that millions of Americans fall into is getting into too much debt. Unfortunately, it’s easy to get exposed to debt at an early age, especially as the rise of student loans has made taking on debt a necessity for many students seeking a college education.
Yet it’s important to distinguish between different types of debt. Used responsibly, lower-interest debt like mortgages and subsidized student loans can actually be a good way to get financing, helping you build up a credit history and allowing you to achieve goals that would otherwise be out of reach. Yet even with this “good” debt, it’s important to match up your financing costs with your current or expected income, rather than simply assuming you’ll be able to pay it off when the time comes.
At the other end of the spectrum, high-cost financing like payday loans should be a method of last resort for borrowers, given their high fees. Even credit cards carry double-digit interest rates, making them a gold mine for issuing banks while making them difficult for cardholders to pay off once they start carrying a balance. The best solution is to be mindful of using debt and to save it for when you really need it.
It may seem like no big deal, but cashing out your 401(k) early has major repercussions and leads you to have less money when you’ll need it most: in retirement.
According to a Fidelity Investments study, more than one-third of workers under 50 have cashed out a 401(k) at some point. Given an average balance of more than $14,000 for those in their 20s through 40s, we’re talking about a lot of retirement money that people are taking out far too early. Even $14,000 may seem like a relatively easy amount of money to “replace” in a retirement account, but the real cost is the lost opportunity to grow the money.
Think about it this way. If you cash out at 40 years old, you aren’t just taking out $14,000 — you’re taking away decades of potential compound growth:
As you can see, the early cash-out costs you dearly in future returns; the earlier you do it, the more ground you’ll have to make up to replace those lost returns. Don’t cash out when you change jobs. Instead, roll those funds over into your new employer’s 401(k) or an IRA to avoid any tax penalties, and let time do the hard work for you. You’ll need that $100,000 in retirement a lot more than you need $14,000 today.
One of the biggest money mistakes you can make is going without health insurance.
While the monthly premiums can seem like a lot, you’re taking a massive risk with your health and finances by forgoing health insurance. Medical bills quickly add up, and if you have a serious injury, it may also mean you have to miss work, lowering your income when you most need it. These two factors, as well as the continuing rise in healthcare costs, are why a 2009 study from Harvard estimated that 62% of all personal bankruptcies stem from medical expenses.
Since then, we’ve seen the rollout of Obamacare, which signed up 10.3 million Americans through the health insurance marketplaces. Gallup estimated last year that Obamacare lowered the percentage of the adult population that’s uninsured to 13.4%. That’s the lowest level in years, yet it still represents a large number of people forgoing health insurance.
Lastly, as of 2014, not having health insurance is a big money mistake. For tax year 2014, if you didn’t have health insurance, there’s a fine of the higher of $95 or 1% of your income. For tax year 2015, the penalty jumps to the higher of $325 or 2% of your income. While there are some exemptions, if you are in a position to do so, get health insurance. Keep in mind that for low-income taxpayers, Obamacare includes subsidies to lower the monthly payments to help afford health insurance.

Not by the tax-hungry American government, anyway. Fortunately, we’ve identified little-known social security loopholes could write you a ticket to the retirement of your dreams. What the government doesn’t want you to know could work out in your favor– and is completely legal! Instead of pinching pennies in retirement.
