WHL Roundup: Shynkaruk’s shenanigans lead Blades past Hitmen in OT
With the WHL Trade Deadline long gone, three games dotted Tuesday’s slate.
In the Land of Living Skies, the Tri-City Americans scored a win over the Moose Jaw Warriors, while the Saskatoon Blades secured a bonus point with an overtime triumph courtesy a hat-trick performance from Jesse Shynkaruk against the Calgary Hitmen.
Finally, on the WHL on Shaw, the host Red Deer Rebels dispatched the Prince George Cougars, mere hours after having dealt defenceman Josh Mahura and forward Jeff de Wit to the Regina Pats.
All of this and more…
Tri-City Americans (3) at Moose Jaw Warriors (2)
Tri-City (25-17-3-0) // Moose Jaw Warriors (25-10-6-1)
Morgan Geekie struck twice in the final 40 minutes of play to provide the difference as the Tri-City Americans skated to a 3-2 win over the Moose Jaw Warriors Tuesday night.
Brett Howden notched his 21st goal of the season to open the scoring only 37 seconds into regulation before rookie Carson Focht tied the game 1:46 later. One-upping Focht’s response was fellow rookie Luka Burzan, who restored the Warriors lead 1:01 later and the score stood at 2-1 after 20 minutes.
Using a power-play opportunity, Geekie found the back of the net 3:44 into the second period to knot the game once again.
After a long stretch without a goal, the Americans’ forward did the Warriors in with 43 seconds to play in regulation, striking at even strength to give Tri-City a 3-2 edge that stood the test.
Defenceman Juuso Valimaki chipped in with two helpers for the Ams, while Evan Sarthou steered aside 35 shots for his sixth win of the season.

Prince George Cougars (1) at Red Deer Rebels (4)
Prince George (28-12-2-0) // Red Deer (19-17-4-2)
No Josh Mahura, no Jeff de Wit, no problem for the Red Deer Rebels.
With the ever-sharp Prince George Cougars in town and the WHL on Shaw cameras surrounding, the Rebels scored a 4-1 win Tuesday night following the WHL Trade Deadline.
Adam Musil, Evan Polei and Austin Pratt score consecutively in the first period before newcomer Lane Zablocki made it a 4-0 game midway through the second period as the Rebels cruised.
Zablocki, who landed in Red Deer following a mid-afternoon deal with the Regina Pats, registered his 10th goal of the season, making an immediate impact for his new club.
Aaron Boyd was the lone Cougar to blemish Lasse Petersen’s record, scoring with 2:32 to go in regulation, foiling the Dane’s shutout attempt. Petersen finished the evening with 23 saves for his 10th win of the season.
Polei finished the night with a goal and an assist, while Russian defenceman Alexander Alexeyev had two helpers for Red Deer.

Calgary Hitmen (4) at Saskatoon Blades (4) – OT
Calgary (14-19-4-2) // Saskatoon (16-22-5-1)
Five goals in the opening 20 minutes of play wasn’t enough to decide this thing, so the Calgary Hitmen and Saskatoon Blades went back and forth being Jesse Shynkaruk sent his third goal of the night to the back of the net 2:13 into overtime, giving the Bridge City a critical win Tuesday night.
Jake Kryski, acquired by the Hitmen from the Kelowna Rockets on Sunday evening, opened the scoring with his 14th goal of the season only 4:35 into the affair. From there, Shynkaruk got his engine going before Gage Ramsay made it 2-1 Saskatoon.
Mark Kastelic drew things even only 19 sceonds later, then Matteo Gennaro jumped in 28 seconds after that to give Calgary a quick-strike 3-2 lead after 20 minutes.
Braylon Shmyr scored his 22nd of the season on a power-play early in the second period, giving way to Shynkaruk’s second of the evening for a 4-3 Blades advantage. Before the end of the second period, Gennaro came through with his second of the night and the festivities were dead-even once again.
A scoreless third period bled into overtime where Shynkaruk completed the hat trick.
Shmyr finished the night with three points (1G-2A), while Michael Farren (2A0 and Chase Wouters (2A) also recorded multipoint efforts for the Blades.
While Gennaro had two markers for the Hitmen, defenceman Jake Bean collected two helpers.
Logan Flodell made 19 saves to earn his 11th win of the season.

Karrueche Tran just might be getting back with Chris Brown — even though she claims she doesn’t “like drama, period.” Tran revealed on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show that she’s thinking of taking him back – even though they split less than eight weeks ago.
And the reason is hot.
According to Hollywood Life, steamy texts between the two split celebrities reveal that Karrueche Tran misses her “sizzling sex life” with Chris Brown.
“Chris [Brown] gets her juices flowing like nobody else. He’s so passionate and emotional and they had the most incredibly sizzling sex life ever,” a source close to Karrueche Tran and Chris Brown told Hollywood Life exclusively about the couple’s split. “Other guys just can’t measure up. Her friends are constantly introducing her to handsome, successful men but so far she just hasn’t felt that spark. Despite wanting to shut him out they have been texting once again.”
Karrueche Tran hasn’t been in contact with her ex since a June 5 incident when Brown was spotted yelling outside Tran’s apartment after a tempestuous night at Playhouse nightclub in Los Angeles. The pair reportedly split when Karrueche Tran found out he has a secret love child named Royalty with a baby mama: a model named Nia Sanchez, reports the Daily Mail.
Even though Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran were both seen at the 2015 BET Awards, the pair were split up, did not interact at all, and Brown was even photographed hanging out with ex gal pal Rihanna.
“Chris has betrayed Karrueche and hurt her worse than any other man in her life — but she still misses him,” the source told Hollywood Life. “Despite all the drama in their relationship, she just can’t get herself to move on. Part of the problem is that [Tran] hasn’t found any guy who she connects with like she does with Chris. They have an absolutely electric connection.”
When asked directly by Ryan Seacrest about whether her split with Brown is permanent, Karrueche Tran replied, “Us getting back together… I can’t say. I don’t know what the future holds. As of right now I’m just completely focused on myself. I’m not trying to date anybody. I just want to figure out me, and grow within myself.”
Karrueche Tran continued, however, to point out things are peaceful with Chris Brown since their split.
“There’s no drama between us. It’s cordial, it’s cool, it’s peaceful. I don’t like drama, period.”

Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business Paperback – December 27, 2005

“I can’t think of a more prophetic, more thoughtful, more necessary – and yes, more entertaining – book about media culture.” –Victor Navasky, National Book Award-winning author of The Art of Controversy
“All I can say about Neil Postman’s brilliant Amusing Ourselves to Death is: Guilty As Charged.” –Matt Groening, Creator of The Simpsons
“As a fervent evangelist of the age of Hollywood, I publicly opposed Neil Postman’s dark picture of our media-saturated future. But time has proved Postman right. He accurately foresaw that the young would inherit a frantically all-consuming media culture of glitz, gossip, and greed.” –Camille Paglia
“A brilliant, powerful, and important book. This is an indictment that Postman has laid down and, so far as I can see, an irrefutable one.” –Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post Book World
About the Author
Neil Postman (1931–2003) was chairman of the Department of Communication Arts at New York University and founder of its Media Ecology program. He wrote more than twenty books.

Clearly, the people then were different from the people now in terms of mainstream intelligence. The reason, Postman argues, is that the people in Dickens' era were children of "The Age of Typography," and the people today (us) are the children of "The Age of Show Business," or "The Age of Television." Reading was life to people in the older days; watching television is life to us now. And television, however entertaining, cannot be anything but sheer junk because it works through images, sensationalism, and emotional gratification. Writing, on the other hand, requires patience, detachment, memory, and reason. The result is that we are dumber than our ancestors. Incredulous? Pick up the book and let Postman prove it to you.
This book was written in 1985, but don't be fooled; it still wields enormous relevance today -- The chapter titled, "Peek-a-Boo-World" as well as the "Information-to-action-ratio" theory outlined in it are particularly pertinent regarding the modern-day use of the internet, especially with portable laptops, tablets, and cellphones. With those gadgets, we have become, in short, a nation buried in triviality, as Postman predicted. Furthermore, television viewership today has not decreased with the rise of the internet, iphones, and such. On the contrary, studies show that we still watch as much television as before, despite the alarmingly rising rate of electronic use. In this book, Postman focuses on politics, religion, education, and the news. These, he says, are serious topics that are downgraded to mere amusement because television, by design, works by making everything amusing. In effect, we come to expect everything in life to be entertaining when, in actuality, some things must be endured. Again, I urge you to read this book carefully. I've read it four times. It's ideas have allowed me to wean myself away from television and on to typography. Let it have the same effect on you.
His primary criticism of the "Age of Show Business" is that all discussion, debate, and learning has been subjugated to a 30-second spot. No one has time for lengthy discussions or delving into the depths of difficult discussions or learning. You can't argue that he was spot on in much of his criticism. We don't even like phone calls anymore because they require too much commitment and too much time. We've defaulted to text messages.
While I read the book I kept thinking of his points in terms of our politics and our news coverage. What is "outrageous" or "epic" only remains so for about 24-48 hours until something else comes along. If you are a politician who gets "caught" by the media in something negative, your best hope is for something else to grab the spotlight quickly. The arguments in the political arena these days are only a millimeter deep - no one wants to spend the time and energy to do the hard work of working through an issue completely. You get the point and it was Postman's point: everything has to fit into a 30-second spot, and nothing is related - everything is independent of everything else. Of course, that's not reality, but that's the reality that we've created.
Postman bases much of his discussion on a comparison between the predictions of Orwell's "1984" and Huxley's "Brave New World," both written over 70 years ago. He believes that Orwell was wrong in the sense that he saw the control of a culture by a totalitarian and big brother government. Huxley's point was that culture would be controlled, not by an exterior force, but voluntarily through conditioning and psychological manipulation. Postman's point is that Huxley was closer to what we are seeing today in that rather than evaluating how technology (specifically TV) affects change in culture, we are happily and ignorantly marching into a brave new world by amusing ourselves to death. I will say that Postman makes a brief mention of computer technology in this book, and he believed it was irrelevant and useless technology. Boy did he get that part wrong!
Definitely an interesting read and worth your time if you are interested in considering how media or technology affects culture. I've read Orwell's "1984" but after reading Postman's book, my next read will be "Brave New World" by Huxley. My take away from "Amusing Ourselves to Death" is that I want to remember that there is more to issues than the 30 seconds that they get on the news, Facebook, or Twitter.

Book Review: Film Posters of the Russian Avant-Garde – At the intersection of the visual, graphic, and cinematic arts, film posters are a unique and thrilling record of a particular cultural Zeitgeist. This book brings together 250 posters from the pre-Stalin Soviet Union of the 1920s and 1930s to explore the energy and invention of this period, before Soviet Realism became the official art doctrine.
Drawn from the private collection of connoisseur Susan Pack, the selection includes the work of 27 different artists. From bold figuration to architectural elements, each artist displays a distinct style and aesthetic, as much as they collectively eschew the glamour of Hollywood for more stark, striking, even challenging images, often marked by unusual angles, dynamic compositions, and startling close-ups.
Susan Pack graduated from Princeton in 1973. For 10 years she worked in advertising, latterly as senior copywriter at Saatchi & Saatchi in New York. She began collecting rare advertising posters in the 1970s, in due course acquiring one of the world’s foremost collections of avant-garde Russian film posters.

A man was found stabbed to death on the back patio of a Beverly Grove, California home. The suspect of the crime was found dead in a nearby home a little while later.
Police officers were called to the home at 4:35 pm Monday for a report of a residential burglary. When they arrived to the scene, a man had been stabbed to death in the back patio of the home. The man found on the patio was the owner of the home.
“Apparently what happened was there was a stabbing, so not too much noise, but I did hear the police response and helicopters,” Cameron Cooper, who lives two doors down, said.
Officers were seen surrounding the guest house on another property located two doors down. They found the body of a second man with self-inflicted stab wounds. He's believed to be the suspect in the first stabbing.
The shocking news has rocked the neighborhood. There has been no released motive on why the stabbing occurred nor has there been evidence of who the men were.
Neighbors told CBSLA Monday that a man was seen jumping from yard to yard in a manner suggesting he was casing the homes prior to the fatal stabbing. They said a similar situation played out last week.

Alright y’all I am kind of obsessed with Gwyneth Paltrow’s and Thea Baumann’s cookbook called It’s All Easy. It is honestly the best cookbook I have every seen and the only cookbook I have ever bought! Most of the time I will flip through the cookbooks and cooking magazines at a bookstore or grocery store, but I’ll never buy them. I am particular on the things I buy and always want the product or service I buy to be fully worth it, and I can tell you right now, THIS BOOK IS WORTH EVERY PENNY! I never thought I would fall in love with a cookbook enough to buy it, because Pinterest, but my goodness….If my soul was a cookbook, it’d be this one.
Anyways! What makes this book so amazing?
First off, every part of it is crafted to perfection. It’s All Easy is such a charming cookbook to have in your home thanks to the warm, fresh, and inviting tones of the book. It truly captures the essence of home cooking in a beautifully organic way. The cover is sturdy enough for the kitchen and the pages have a matte like finish so it is easy to read in florescent lighting. Nothing is more annoying when reading a cooking magazine or book than lighting that glares all over the pages.
The photos in this book are just so incredibly realistic. In fact, one time I sent a picture of one of the dishes to my friend Jill, and she thought that I was actually taking a photo of my meal! Personally, I find pictures in cookbooks to be of high importance, because if it does not look delicious then I will not want to make it. You definitely do not have to worry about finding unappetizing pictures in It’s All Easy. Every picture is mouth watering, eye-catching, and you can almost smell the foods right off the page. Seriously, let’s take moment of appreciate for Ditte Isager’s photography skills.
Just as bewitching as the cover, layout, and photos of the book are, the recipes are even better. This book was designed with super-busy people that also want to a culinary experience. For the people that love food and cooking insanely delicious and fresh meals, but are in a time crunch. So, even if you are not in a time crunch these fast, simple, and tasty meals are just that. Fast, simple, & tasty.
With all of that in mind, these meals typically take around 30 minutes to make. Many recipes are gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, and sometimes all three! As someone who eats a gluten-free, dairy-free,mostly vegetarian diet I found this cookbook to be filled with different meals, sauces, snacks, and drinks that were too. And another great mention is that almost all of these recipes can be made GF, DF, & V. The combinations of flavors, aromas, colors, and consistences makes every meal satisfying for your inner cook and taste-buds.
All in all, I HIGHLY recommend It’s All Easy for anyone who loves to cook, has no time to cook, loves food, eats food, breathes… Seriously. There are many classic recipes, such as a grilled cheese and tomato soup. The great thing is that the classic recipes have options o make you dish with a deliciously new twist! All of the new recipes will soon become staples in your home and favorites for your table. The recipes are easy to read, simple to prepare, and tasty to eat….or inhale… SO GOOD!
You can buy the book through these links below or by checking your local bookstore!
**This was in no way sponsored, I just truly LOVE this cookbook. Also the photos in this post were taken of the book by me with my phone. They are of the front and inside cover. Oh, and be sure to check out GOOP.

Humus is good for your garden soil and your plants. People are often confused about garden Humus. Especially confusing, is when contrasting it to compost. So, let’s take away your confusion by defining Humus.
Let’s start by understanding what compost is. Compost is decomposed plant matter, that is rich in nutrients and minerals. After applying compost in your garden, it gives up its nitrogen, phosphorous and other nutrients, slowly leaching them into the soil. Despite being “decomposed”, the compost breaks down further. What remains is soft, garden it for you.
Organic humus does not have the mineral and nutritional content to feed your plants. But, this remnant of the decomposition process is still a very good soil conditioner. It improves the structure of the soil, helping to keep the soil loose. It also retains water in the soil.

My First Motorcycle ‘Road Trip': I’m Hooked!!
My father's birthday was Friday, so I told him that I would spend the morning with him today and barbeque some pork steaks. After lunch with Dad, I took my first 'Road Trip' since I got a motorcycle.
The motorcycle isn't officially mine yet; my cousin is selling it, and he said that I could ride it to see if I liked it. We agreed that, if I liked it, I'd buy it; if not, no harm, no foul: he would take it back and sell it to someone else. I don't think he needs to worry about that now. I get it. I understand. I have been bitten by the motorcycle bug!!
My friend Tony (who also has a Harley) met me in Abbeville at 1:15 today, and we decided that we'd ride to Holly Beach (he had never been). I was to lead, since I knew the way (I mean, how hard is it to get to Holly Beach? Go to Abbeville, turn south on 82. End of directions!)
The first stop was at John's Trading Post (we took shade under the tree that is still standing at John's old location). I told Tony about how devastated the area of Big Woods and Esther and 7th Ward was after Hurricane Rita, and how the first video from this area showing the storm surge was from a house just a mile or so west, and how (most) people had their homes raised to prevent future flood damage.
Our next stop was Pecan Island (High) School. When I explained what was inside of the metallic building that was attached to the west side of the school, Tony asked "What do they need one of those for?? They just have to walk across the street!".
Our next stop wasn't until we got to Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge. We turned just before Joseph Harbor and rode down to the locks. I told Tony about spending so many weekends in that area during the summers when I was a kid, crabbing and fishing.
Next was Rutherford Beach, where this fashion/action/very embarrassing photograph was taken:
Tony, I found out today, had not only never been to Holly Beach: he had also never been on a ferry!
Then it was on to Holly Beach!! (I tried to explain what Holly Beach was like before the storms wiped it out, but it's hard to describe a "joie de vivre", ya know?) I do know what it looks like when you forget to bring a tent to Holly Beach; this gang of friends (from Kaplan, Forked Island and Maurice) took a breather from the sun in the only shade they could find!
We rode the motorcycles on the beach for a few blocks, and then headed back towards the highway. I asked if he was ready to head back, and he pointed left, asking "what's that way?" I said "Texas, you wanna?" He grinned, and I turned left....
We stopped in Bridge City, Texas for supper at Tequila's, and then (almost unceremoniously) hopped on I-10 for the ride home.
So, there you have it: a few pictures from my first motorcycle "Road Trip". The only thing that I couldn't capture on film was "the feeling".
I didn't know what "the feeling" was until it all came together today: the wind, the road, the sights, the smells... the "freedom". Now, I get it. I really get it.
Oh and, please, watch for motorcyclists!! There's a new one today...

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Roughly two years since the start of the pandemic tourism is still a long way away from a full recovery.
That's one reason why San Francisco Mayor London Breed has headed to Europe to try and lure international visitors back to the city.
"Meeting with existing airlines. We'll also be meeting with airlines that don't currently serve SFO, in the hopes of launching new air service into our airport," Doug Yakel, spokesperson for SFO Airport, said.
If you're on the ABC7 News app, click here to watch live
Yakel,says the airport is recovering passengers at a slower rate than other major air hubs.
"Part of the reason for that is because international passengers are such a large portion of our overall picture. About 25 percent of all pre-pandemic passengers were actually international," he said.
COVID requirements for travelers have played a key role in the lag. However, with most European countries dropping coronavirus restrictions, it remains the part of the world where people are most able to travel to the U.S.
But the desire to bring international tourists back to San Francisco is about more than just broadening the city's appeal. It's also about strengthening the Bay Area's local economy.
"Pre pandemic, there were about 100,000 jobs around the Bay Area that rely on the air service that SFO provides," Yakel said.
Experts say many of those jobs rely on tourism and the money international visitors bring.
Mainly because they generally stay longer - spending more money on things like hotels and restaurants.
"Instead of two days, you know, maybe a quick city escape, these folks are planning like two weeks in California," Clint Henderson, Managing Editor of travel website The Points Guy, said.
But with tourism numbers expected to take years to get back to 2019 levels, the full extent of the benefits could take a while to be felt.
"We're at about two-thirds of pre-pandemic levels. We're hoping to get to about 75-percent of pre-pandemic levels by the end of this year," said Yakel.

The mineral compound of sodium chloride. There are different kinds of salt, including rock salt and sea salt. Rock salt is found underground and is mined. Sea salt is left over from evaporated salt water.
Humans have used salt since prehistoric times, and salt sources can be found in every region that sustains human life.
While salt is available on every continent, it isn’t necessarily plentiful in some areas. In Europe, Africa, and Asia, this led to “salt roads,” trade routes created specifically for salt trading.
Salt is essential for the human body and is healthful in moderation.
Black Eyed Peas are a very traditional southern dish. Growing up, my mother always made sure we had black eyed peas, cornbread, collard greens, and stewed tomatoes for new years. Black eyed peas represent good luck and prosperity. As a child I hated black eyed peas and didn’t fully appreciate them until I became a chef. Now, as an adult and a chef, I continue this tradition and hope to one day pass it down to my children.

Rabies is a fatal infection of the central nervous system produced by a Lyssavirus of the family Rhabdoviridae. The virus is distributed worldwide and is primarily transmitted by rabid animal bites, with multiple reservoirs depending on the region. The vampire bat Desmodus rotundus is distributed in several states of Mexico and is considered the main vector of rabies in cattle. In the state of Baja California, no cases of paralytic rabies have been reported. In this work, we report the first three cases of rabies in feedlot cattle showing nervous signs, which were later confirmed in a reference laboratory by immunofluorescent analysis. Considering that the majority of feedlot cattle are introduced to Baja California from other states of Mexico where rabies is considered endemic, it is necessary to strengthen current programs of vaccination to reduce the rate of infected animals in their places of origin to avoid the spread of rabies to other geographic areas of the country.

The Flash, Season 3, Episode 10, “Borrowing Problems from the Future”
Tuesday nights have become crowded now that Legends of Tomorrow has joined The Flash and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the viewing lineup. Being the friendly show it is, The Flash is here to help with the setup episode to end all setup episodes.
Not since the early days of Heroes with their “save the cheerleader, save the world” mantra has a series laid out a buffet of future episodes so lavishly.
There’s a plot reason for this generous sneak preview. As you may remember, Barry accidentally traveled to the future (a big no-no in speedster circles) and witnessed Savitar murdering Iris. After a week of nightmares in the enormous new loft he’s sharing with Iris, Barry hatches a plan to try to change the future without actually traveling back there.
This week’s villain du jour, Plunder, jogs Barry’s memory of a newscast he saw while in the future, where it talked about the Flash capturing the guy. In an effort to change that future, Barry has Wally be the one to thwart Plunder, getting Kid Flash some positive publicity in the process.
Thanks to Hipster Harry and some dominoes, Barry theorizes that if they change enough events leading up to the day Iris is supposed to meet her doom, they can change the outcome altogether, a theory bolstered when Cisco vibes Barry into the future and HR is there when he wasn’t before.
They return to the news broadcast to read the scroll for headlines that they can possibly alter, so be prepared for another gorilla episode — Caitlin becoming Killer Frost again and people not wanting to attend a museum in a building that exploded, and creating a never-ending stream of super-powered crazy people – change the headlines, save the girl.
Before we get to this realization, it takes about half the episode to catch the audience up on what the main group has been doing in the “months” since Christmas. Caitlin is trying to “cure” herself of her powers and to bring Julien into the fold to do it (there’s a romance brewing here, which is isn’t good for Julien, since Dr. Snow is the black widow of this show). Iris pulls Barry’s secret out of him, which freaks her out, and she decides not to tell Joe about it because keeping secrets has worked so well in the past. HR’s misadventures with getting the STAR Labs museum up and running created some moments of levity the show has desperately needed all season.
This episode succeeds in giving the team a common cause to work toward and lending hope to an otherwise morbid march through time. This may lead to a long term positive shift in tone, which could get The Flash back to familiar territory. Time will tell if the show can pull it off.


Climate Change Is In the Air
As rising carbon emissions boost smog and pollen production, even breathing can be a challenge. Here’s what you can do to help clear the air.
In the spring, tree pollen falls so thick that people write messages in the green fuzz on their car windows. In the fall, ragweed sprouts not just along roads and in fields, but in gardens, street plantings, and sidewalk cracks. Such is the new reality of Jackson, Mississippi, the city deemed fall 2016’s Allergy Capital of the United States by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.
“Over the past decade, climate change has made my patients’ wheezing and sneezing steadily worse,” says Dr. Gailen Marshall, an allergist in Jackson. Temperatures are the hottest ever on record, he explains, which makes pollen season longer. “Existing patients rush to visit me,” he says. “And new ones flood through my door.”
Jackson’s situation might be an extreme example, but it’s far from unique. “Rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, and increases in heat-trapping carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are affecting air quality all across the United States in many ways that are not good for us,” says Kim Knowlton, a senior scientist and deputy director of NRDC’s Science Center. Not only is the changing climate boosting production of plant allergens, she says, but it’s leading to smog, mold outbreaks, and wildfires as well.
A new NRDC analysis finds that about 4 in 10 Americans live in areas where both smog and pollen-producing ragweed are present. This double whammy of air quality threats poses health hazards to us all—but especially to the more than 24 million Americans with asthma and 50 million with seasonal allergies, says Knowlton. “Unless we take preventive measures, these shifts will compromise our quality of life, our work and school productivity, and our safety and health.”
So what exactly is happening as the planet warms, and how can you protect yourself? Let’s take a look.
Temperatures and carbon dioxide levels are setting record highs, and in response, plants produce more of the pollen that triggers itchy eyes, runny noses, scratchy throats, respiratory problems, and other ailments in people with asthma and allergies.
More people are allergic to ragweed pollen than to all other pollens combined. The autumn ragweed season is now up to three weeks longer than it was 20 years ago, reports a 2011 study from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the prevalence of asthma is up 21 percent since 2001, while rates of pollen-induced allergic rhinitis (also known as hay fever) have also been steadily rising.
Sunlight combined with air pollution creates the toxic cocktail known as ground-level smog. And it’s no longer just major metropolises that are afflicted. “Areas downwind of cities—suburban communities and rural regions, too—are seeing higher smog levels on the hottest days,” says Knowlton.
The American Lung Association reports that now nearly 40 percent of U.S. residents live in areas that often have unhealthy ozone levels or other types of pollution. Smog can trigger breathing and cardiovascular problems among allergy and asthma sufferers, but for anyone, the EPA says, breathing ozone is akin to “getting a sunburn on your lungs.”
“Climate change is fueling not only more frequent intense rain, but storms like Hurricane Sandy that are of greater intensity,” says Knowlton. “As a result, buildings damaged by these events can harbor more moisture, and thus more mold growth.”
Rising sea levels, increased humidity, and greater river and coastal flooding can expose more homes to mold growth. And that mold can grow “on virtually any substance,” according to the EPA, including wood, paper, carpet, and food. The consequence? Wheezing, rashes, and eye irritation for people who are sensitive to it.
Rising temperatures in dry areas are making conditions even drier—and sparking dangerous wildfires like those that engulfed a record nine million acres of California, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, and other western states in 2015.
Because smoke from fires can travel far downwind, it’s not only people living near the blazes who are affected. For example, when scientists studied the broad-ranging effects of wildfires that struck Quebec in 2002, they discovered the fires were linked to a thirtyfold spike in airborne fine-particle concentrations in Baltimore, a whopping 700 miles away.
What to do about it
To breathe easier, experts recommend the following:
- If you exercise outside, do it in the morning, when ozone levels tend to be lower.
- Avoid auto exhaust and heavily trafficked roads when jogging or walking. If you can, hit forest trails and walking paths instead.
- Track pollen counts from the National Allergy Bureau.
- Monitor your local air-quality index, or AQI, which assesses the danger of pollution and ozone smog, and sign up for alerts about wildfires or other issues that might affect your area.
- On days when pollen counts or the AQI are especially high, consider spending more time indoors with windows and doors closed. (If you’re running an air conditioner, set it to “recirculate.”)
- If you do spend time outside on days when the air quality is poor, take a shower and change into clean clothes afterward to wash off pollen and other fine particles that may have collected on your skin, hair, and clothing.
- Remove seasonal pollen from your home by frequently washing bedding and by vacuuming using a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter.
- Reduce indoor humidity and moisture that can lead to mold growth by using dehumidifiers, increasing ventilation, and using exhaust fans.
- Urge your state representatives to support carbon pollution–cutting legislation, to nip the health-harming effects of climate change at their source.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is expected to sign a bill requiring student-athletes in the state’s public school system to compete on teams that correspond with their biological sex.
Texas lawmakers passed H.B. 25 on Sunday after Abbott added it to the agenda of a special legislative session on redistricting in the state.
Critics of the legislation say it unfairly discriminates against transgender student-athletes, while supporters say it prevents placing female athletes at a disadvantage with biologically male competitors.
Nine other states have banned transgender student-athletes from competing on teams corresponding with their gender identity either through legislation or executive order, according to the Movement Advancement Project. Several of those efforts are subject to ongoing litigation.
"[It will] protect girls’ Title IX rights to play on a level playing field in sports," said Mary Elizabeth Castle, senior policy adviser for Texas Values, in a statement.
Rebecca Marques, Texas state director for Human Rights Campaign, an LGBTQ advocacy group, said if Abbott signs “this discriminatory bill, he is putting the health, safety, and very lives of transgender young people in Texas at risk.”
“These vulnerable kids are simply trying to navigate adolescence in an environment that lawmakers are making increasingly challenging,” Marques said in a statement. “There is no need for this bill, and legislators have failed to provide examples of any problem in Texas related to trans kids playing sports alongside their peers. There is no appetite for this bill among the majority of Texans — it is simply designed to help Republican legislators win the votes of far right primary voters. A number of states that have passed similarly discriminatory and hateful legislation are already facing legal action. Signing this legislation would hurt families and make Texas a less competitive destination for companies and employees alike.”
A spokesperson for Abbott did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the bill.

In 1999 William Gay's debut novel The Long Home signaled the arrival of a bold new voice in American fiction. In a rave review in the New York Times Book Review, Tony Earley wrote, "In the high tradition of the Southern novel, Gay is unafraid to tackle the biggest of the big themes, nor does he shy away from the grand gesture that makes those themes manifest," and the Denver Post heralded it as "a novel of great emotional power."
With PROVINCES OF NIGHT, Gay's talent is undeniable. The year is 1952, and E. F. Bloodworth has returned to his home--a forgotten corner of Tennessee--after twenty years of roaming. The wife he walked out on has withered and faded, his three sons are grown and angry. Warren is a womanizing alcoholic, Boyd is driven by jealousy to hunt down his wife's lover, and Brady puts hexes on his enemies from his mamma's porch. Only Fleming, the old man's grandson, treats him with the reverence his age commands, and sees past all the hatred to realize the way it can poison a man's soul. Fleming, a seventeen-year-old dreamer, interprets this seemingly stark world with the uncynical wit and wisdom of the young. When he encounters Raven Lee, a sloe-eyed beauty from a neighboring town, he slowly finds the courage to face this family curse.
In a tale redolent with the crumbling loyalties and age-old strife of the South, Gay's characters inhabit a world driven by blood ties that strangle as they bind.
"Sinopsis" puede pertenecer a otra edición de este libro.
In his second novel, Provinces of Night, William Gay re-creates the oppressive, evocative atmosphere of the American Deep South that he first explored in his debut novel, The Long Home. Against the backdrop of rural Tennessee in the 1950s, our teenage protagonist, Fleming Bloodworth, finds himself alone in the family home after his father, Boyd, abandons him to hunt down and kill his wife's lover. At the same time, Fleming's grandfather decides to return to his family after 20 years of self-imposed exile. He returns to discover that his remaining two sons, Warren and Brady, are in turn an alcoholic womanizer and a Bible-quoting fantasist who enjoys putting curses on his enemies.
This is a self-consciously big novel in the Southern tradition that could easily have buckled under the weight of its own ambition. Instead, Gay pulls it off with ease, presenting us with a stream of unforgettable characters. While the central themes of love, loyalty, and forgiveness are explored seriously and sensitively, the finely wrought prose is also sprinkled with moments of genuine humor as Gay proves that he's not afraid to gently mock his gang of Southern eccentrics. This is a wonderful novel and a worthy successor to the tradition it so obviously admires. --Jane Morris, Amazon.co.ukFrom the Back Cover:
"PROVINCES OF NIGHT is simply brilliant. William Gay writes with such astonishing clarity and authenticity that every single word inside this book rings true. Poetic and visceral, his words excavate a corner of the South with a new standard of excellence and readers and writers everywhere are the better for it. A must-read for anyone aware of the changing pulse of American literature."
-- Melinda Haynes, author of Mother of Pearl
"PROVINCES OF NIGHT is an old-fashioned barrel-aged shot of Tennessee storytelling. Gay's tale of ancient wrongs and men with guns is high-proof stuff."
-Elwood Reid, author of What Salmon Know and Midnight Sun
"PROVINCES OF NIGHT is one magnificent achievement, a wise, spare, hilarious, bighearted tale delivered in language as lovely as the Tennessee hills at dusk. To the list of premier Southern writers that includes Harry Crews, Barry Hannah, and Lewis Nordan, add the name of William Gay."
-Tom Franklin, author of Poachers
"It is time to stop calling William Gay an exciting new voice. In PROVINCES OF NIGHT he proves that he is simply one of our finest voices."
--Steve Yarbrough, author of The Oxygen Man
"A staggering talent. Almost a personal revival of handwork in fiction--superb--must be listened to and felt."
-- Barry Hannah, author of Airships and Geronimo Rex

Kiribati's President Anote Tong has welcomed U.S President Barack Obama's announcement to put a broad swath of the central Pacific off limits to fishing, energy exploration and other activities.
The United States, Palau, the Cook Islands, and the Bahamas unveiled their plans on Tuesday, following Kiribati's announcement on Monday that commercial fishing would end in the Phoenix Islands Protected Area at the end of the year.
Under the US plan, the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument would be expanded from almost 225,000 square kilometres to more than 2 million square kilometres - all of it adjacent to seven islands and atolls controlled by the United States.
It will include waters up to 370 kilometres offshore from these US territories.
President Tong says the decision is great news for the Pacific.
He says this is what was intended when the Pacific Oceanscape was being advocated.
President Tong says the World Heritage listed Phoenix Island Protected Area, or PIPA, will be closed to all commercial fishing by the end of 2014, with a small exemption for subsistence fishing around Kanton Island.

DIY Produce Stand from a Blanket Rack
“I found this blanket rack at a local flea market and was determined to flip it into a farmhouse vegetable stand for our kitchen. Especially now during the peak of garden season. Imagine a veggie stand… farm style in the kitchen. Crazy fun, isn’t it?”
‘Tis the season for garage sales, flea markets, fresh summer produce, and fun DIY projects! And there’s no better way to embrace that than making this sweet farmhouse-style produce stand out of an old blanket rack. Won’t it be nice not to have loads of produce cluttering up your kitchen counters? I can tell you from experience that this vegetable stand not only clears up your counter space, but makes it easier to see what you have so that you can plan meals easier and less goes to waste. Not too shabby for an inexpensive DIY project, if I do say so myself.

When: 28.08.2010 - 28.08.2010
Where: Hermitage, Saint-Petersburg, Russia
A monumental work Celestial Mirror by Anish Kapoor, a British artist of Hindu origin, is displayed in the Grand Courtyard of the Winter Palace. Anish Kapoor was born in 1954 in Bombay. In early 1970s the future artist moved to London to study art at Hornsey College of Art and Chelsea School of Art Design. Today Anish Kapoor is working in London. The sculptor became famous in 1980s. Kapoor was one of the members of the movement New British sculpture, a group of sculptors that also included Tony Cragg, Bill Woodrow and Richard Deacon. In 1990 Anish Kapoor decorated the British pavilion of the Venetian Biennale; in 1991 he received the Turner Prize. In 1999 he was elected a member of the Royal Academy of Art, London. Kapoor’s early works are usually simple, with curved lines, monochromatic and brightly colored. In his early period, Anish Kapoor coated sculptures and the floor around them by a powder colorant which was inspired by reminiscences of India’s market and temple buildings. Later he applied the stone and complicated forms. His latest works are based on the effect of reflection and refraction. The Celestial Mirror sculpture, exhibited in the Grand Courtyard of the Winter Palace, represents a huge steel polished semi-sphere that reflects sky, clouds and curved facades of the Hermitage. The exposition is arranged with the support of JT International in cooperation with the British Council.


An active two-terminal element that supplies energy to a circuit is a source of energy. An ideal voltage source is a circuit element that maintains a prescribed voltage across the terminals regardless of the current flowing in those terminals. Similarly, an ideal current source is a circuit element that maintains a prescribed current through its terminals regardless of the voltage across those terminals. These circuit elements do not exist as practical devices, they are only idealized models of actual voltage and current sources.
Ideal voltage and current sources can be further described as either independent sources or dependent sources. An independent source establishes a voltage or current in a circuit without relying on voltages or currents elsewhere in the circuit. The value of the voltage or current supplied is specified by the value of the independent source alone.
In contrast, a dependent source establishes a voltage or current whose value depends on the value of the voltage or current elsewhere in the circuit. We cannot specify the value of a dependent source, unless you know the value of the voltage or current on which it depends.
The circuit symbols for ideal independent sources are shown in Figure (a) and (b).
Note that a circle is used to represent an independent source. The circuit symbols for dependent sources are shown in Figure (c), (d), (e) and (f). A diamond symbol is used to represent a dependent source.

Awesome sequel and great start of a new saga!Nov 26, 2012
I've been a Halo fan since 2002 when Halo first game out. I was at the release of Halo 2 and still remember buying it at a convention right before I moved from California. With each purchase of the Halo games I loved it even more. Then after Halo 3 release I found out that bungie was not able to work on Halo much longer anymore and another company was working on it. The news broke my heart. I found out that 343i is taking over, and I didn't like that idea. I had disliked 343i when i found out, but as more news came out about them, i started to trust them. Especially with the Halo 4 trailer. And of course I got it. I was not disappointed in any way whatsoever. I booted up the xbox, put in the disk, turned my tv to 3D, and turned up the sound. It was probably one of the greatest moments of my life. The graphics were so great that I literally just sat there doing nothing but looking at the screen for 15 mins. The sound effects was the second thing I noticed. From the deep and powerful sounding Assault Rilfe to the high pitched alien-like sounds covenant weapons. Everything was perfect, it had the original "halo" feel, awesome sound effects, unbelievable graphics, and great story. The only complaint I have is the fact that the campaign was shorter than normal, but 343i were able to explain the whole story and add little extras all in that short campaign. It felt a bit rushed, but everything was there. The campaign was a lot more immersive and I could actually feel what was going on, it could just be from the graphics and sounds, but it was more immersive than all the Halos i've played. The campaign shows more of the human side of chief and I could feel what he was feeling even with his helmet on. The ending really threw me off, and I started crying. Multiplayer is a bit like reach and halo 3 combined, which think is great. I gotta say, out of all the Halo games i've played. Halo 4 felt like the most polished. Halo 4 is probably the best Halo game in my opinion. I can't wait to see Halo 5. 10/10!

Best Halo yet!Nov 08, 2012
Six months ago I was convinced that NOBODY could possibly take the incredible work of Bungie and maintain their level of quality and refinement. I had no intention of buying Halo 4. But over the past couple of months 343 would keep putting out videos that kept me intrigued. I decided to give in to the hype and I am absolutely blown away by what I am seeing on my 60" screen...
* The game feels like Halo, but it also feels new - not sure if that is helpful, but they managed to keep the core while pushing the story and gameplay forward
* The graphics are superb, but the sound is absolutely the best of any game I have every played. The gun sounds "punch" your speakers pretty hard and all the affects really grab your attention
* A lot of diversity and progression has been added to the multiplayer aspect of the game. I am less of a "run and gun" type player so I appreciate some of the game modes where the goal is to capture buildings (Dominion) or control space (King of the Hill). It adds a layer of strategy that allows us mediocre gamers to play a key role
* Spartan Ops is fun! With three other friends you can play these "bite-sized" missions and continue the story beyond the campaign. I believe we will continue to get new missions every week so my friends and I have new content to play together every weekend!
* In the campaign, I kept running out of ammo and was forced to switch weapons constantly. Sometimes trying new weapons was a lot of fun, but other times it was a drag using the plasma gun over and over and over...
* In mutliplayer when I watch my Death Cam to see how I was killed, it seems like they dont always hit me and I still died. Its like there is some sort of an accuracy issue with the game. Either the Death Cam is wrong, or I am getting killed by bullets that are not hitting me. Either way it needs to be fixed
Overall, I am still surprised that anyone can take a big franchise like Halo over and somehow manage to not only keep the "magic" but actually make it feel like the next step. I have no regrets buying Halo 4!

An Incredible GameApr 04, 2014
I was worried that a follow-up to Halo 3 would be a let down, but I was wrong. Halo 4 is fantastic. It's probably the best looking game on the Xbox 360, the sound effects are top-notch, and the gameplay was really good. I know a lot of people did not enjoy Halo 4, but I am not one of those. I thought it was an excellent campaign experience, the multiplayer was always fun, and the added Spartan Ops are a nice feature. I look forward to what 343 Industries has in store for the future

Great Game!Nov 13, 2012
By Mandeep S. Bajwa
A lot of people seem to want to compare this game with halo games of the past, but with every iteration of a game whether it be COD, Battlefield, Fifa, Halo etc. I only want something that is fun. And this game is definitely fun. I'm not going into detail because of the plethora of reviews on the internet but if you enjoy having a good time with some friends around an xbox or just have an hour to waste, Halo 4 is a great way to go.

Solar Power is Too Expensive
NCPA May 22, 2014
Solar energy is responsible for just a fraction of 1 percent of U.S. electricity, and it costs nearly twice as much to produce as natural gas, says Diana Furchtgott-Roth, Director of Economics21 at the Manhattan Institute.
President Obama plans to propose new solar energy policies, but such policies do not make sense for the United States:
- Solar power is expensive. Currently, 27 percent of electricity in the U.S. is generated from natural gas. If that 27 percent were generated from solar power instead, consumers' monthly electric bills would increase 25 percent.
- The White House has announced that its Solar Instructor Training Network will support training programs at community colleges across the U.S. to "assist 50,000 workers to enter the solar industry by 2020." However, as of May 2013, only 4,130 people were employed as solar installers, with median annual wages of $39,600.
- Approving Keystone XL, on the other hand, would create 20,000 direct jobs. 11 million Americans are employed directly or indirectly in the oil and gas sector.
The White House has also announced that a number of housing developers have pledged to install solar panels. But while natural gas energy can be produced for $66 per megawatt hour, solar PV2 costs $130 per hour. If the residents of these complexes are not paying for the costs of solar energy, then taxpayers will. Whoever is paying for it, Furchtgott-Roth notes, the additional cost means less money spent elsewhere in the economy.
Investing in expensive solar energy and training Americans for jobs that do not exist are not the right ways to stimulate the American economy, she writes. The U.S. is responsible for only 16 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, and that number continues to fall.

I often tell people my dad’s confidence in my culinary career roots back to this pulled pork.
Delicious, easy, and left overs for days. Let’s jump in this because you need this NOW.
The best thing about this recipe is there is very little prep. Make the spice blend, rub the meat, let it hang out in the fridge, then roast it all day. About an hour before the pork is done, I make my Sweet & Tangy Barbecue Sauce, which is also nothing but combining everything together and letting it cook. Around the time the sauce is done, I give the pork a good coating and let it roast another 20 or so minutes. Ideally you can use your favorite bottled barbecue, but I’ve altered both the rub and the sauce to compliment each other.
If you’re new to pulled pork, the best cut of meat is the butt, which is actually located in the shoulder. Weird, right? I don’t know why they call it the butt or “Boston butt,” I probably don’t even want to know. Almost always when buying my butt I go up to the butcher and ask if there’s any 5 lb. butts in the back. We laugh and share the puns and jokes that I aimlessly live for, which is fun because befriending the butcher means good cuts of meat. Sometimes I find the labels are easy to misread, considering there’s a picnic shoulder which is the thinner part of the shoulder – not good for pulled pork – so if you’re unsure of the displayed meat, ask your butcher!
Also, scope out a few grocery stores because prices can heavily vary. I’ve bought a pork butt from $7 to $15. Crazy! For a family of four, I buy 5 lbs. Everyone has a full belly and there’s extra for lunches the next day. You can get them up to 7 + lbs., so think about how much you want before buying.
The spice rub is simply sea salt, garlic sea salt, paprika, dark brown sugar, and dry mustard. If you don’t have garlic sea salt, just use garlic powder and bump up the amount of kosher salt. You want to rub this good on all four sides. This is the most I’d be willing to rub any butt. Once it’s all rubbed down,wrap it in plastic wrap and let it hang out in the fridge for 2-3 hours. I like to do this first in the morning!
Now I must say, if you’re cringing because I used salt in my dry rub, easily apply the rub just before poppin’ the pig in the oven. If we wanted to follow good ol’ culinary rules, salt shouldn’t be in the spice rub because it will draw out moisture. I find that instead it leaves a nice bark on the pork which is tooooo die for. Plus my butt gets a good coating of some barbecue sauce, so really I’ve never had any problems with dry meat.
When you’re ready to roast, pre-heat the oven to a low 300 degrees. This cut of meat needs a low and slow cooking method (5-6 hours). After about five hours I make the barbecue sauce, which here you can open your windows and make your neighbors jealous. Your whole street will smell delicious.
At minimum the pork should be served at 170, but it won’t be fork tender. Around 170 I take the roast out and give it a good coating in the sauce, then continue to roast until it hits about 190-200. Honestly the best way to check is to test out with your fork. If it “pulls” easily it’s ready!
After the pork is finished let it rest about 15 minutes before pulling it apart – you wouldn’t want to sacrifice any of those juices. Place the shredded pork into a bowl, toss with barbecue, and serve in a fresh warm hamburger roll.
But wait. Let’s be real. Who doesn’t want mac-n-cheese with pulled pork?
I made my go-to mac-n-cheese to top off each sandwich. Serious drools guys. It’s elbow noodles tossed with a Béchamel cheddar cheese sauce and it’s reallllly easy! Never ever ever make mac-n-cheese from a box. Ever. I’ll give you step by step instructions. I added some barbecue sauce with the cheese to keep the BBQ vibe going. Depending on why I’m making mac-n-cheese, I’ll switch up the cheeses and toppings. One time I baked this with a crab chip crumble and found the key to happiness.
So maybe this is a $15+ cut of meat, and maybe it does take 6+ hours to roast, but the look on people’s faces after their first bite is priceless. I think you’re going to love this.
- 5-7 lb. pork butt/shoulder
- 1 T. sea salt
- 1 T. garlic sea salt (if using garlic powder, add a little extra sea salt)
- 1 T. mustard powder
- 1 T. dark brown sugar
- 3 T. sweet smoky paprika
- Combine all the seasonings. Rub all over the pork - don't be shy, rub it good!
- Wrap with plastic wrap and let it sit in the fridge for a minimum 1 hour. I find it best to keep the plastic tray that comes with the pork, it's like a disposable plate.
- Preheat the oven to 300 and place the pork in a roasting pan.
- Roast for 5-6 hours.
- After 5 hours, baste with barbecue sauce. I like to add the sauce when the pork is at 170 and take it out at 190-200 (around 6 hours).
- The best way to check to see if it's ready is check with your fork - if it falls apart it's ready!
- Serve with Finger-Lickin-Good BBQ sauce (link in post)
- 1 lb. elbow noodles
- 1 oz. flour
- 1 oz. butter
- 1 pint low-fat milk, cold
- 2 c. low-fat cheddar cheese
- 2 T. BBQ sauce
- Prior to making, make sure you have equal amounts of flour and butter for the roux. Measurement is important - for accuracy measure in weight NOT volume.
- Melt the butter in a sauce pan. Whisk in the flour until combined. Should be consistent to wet sand.
- Stir in the cold milk, whisking to break up any lumps. Bring to a gentle simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often to thicken.
- In the meantime, cook elbow noodles.
- Once bechamel is thickened, season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.
- Strain through a fine strainer or chinos. Return to heat.
- On low, stir in the cheese until incorporated. Leave some cheese behind for topping. Remove from the heat and stir in the BBQ sauce.
- Strain the noodles and transfer to a oven safe dish. Ladle the cheese sauce over the noodles and stir to combine. Top with remaining cheese and bake in oven with pork for 20 minutes until cheese is melted.
- Eat as is or stuff in pulled pork sandwich - yum!

Striking Shikake-e By Katsukawa Shuncho Depicting Sleeping Maiden Making Love to Demons
An extra-ordinarily design from the series Ehon Takara bako (A Female Treasure) by Katsukawa Shuncho (act. c. 1780s-early 1800s). It is an early shikake-e (trick picture) with consecutive images. The right plate features a sleeping maiden whose diabolical dream (left plate!) seems to be incited by an adolescent performing cunnilingus performed on her.
‘Maiden Dreaming of Attack by Devils‘ (c.1800). From the series: ‘Ehon Takara bako (A Female Treasure)‘ by Katsukawa Shuncho.
As with a lot of ukiyo-e artists, there is no vivid account of Shuncho’s life. He most probably had a quarrel with his teacher Shunsho (1725-1792) around 1784 and found shelter with the artist Kubo Shunman (1757-1820). Shuncho’s style (like Kiyonaga) tends to be gentle, and in his shunga designs he conveys a sense that the women too are taking pleasure in the intimate rendezvous.
Shuncho created images of female beauties in the manner of Kiyonaga and Utamaro, as he was fascinated by Kiyonaga’s monumental and majestic figures and by the seductiveness of Utamaro’s work. His chromatic range was quite limited, but rich in half tones, which had the effect of making even his most explicit prints look gentler and more refined.

May 12 2023
We start with the UK this week where, as expected, the Bank of England hiked rates by a further 0.25% to 4.5%. This was the 12th consecutive rise, with there again being split opinion, with 7 voting in favour of the hike whilst 2 voted in favour of no change. The market is implying that rates will peak at around 4.75% this year before ending the forecast period at just over 3.5%.
The central banks acknowledged that inflation remains too high at its current level. They now forecast that inflation, as represented by the consumer price index, should fall to 5.1% by the fourth quarter of this year. This compares to the 3.9% forecast made in their February forecast, highlighting how inflation is proving stickier than initially thought. They of course forecast that it will return to 2% over the period. Helping reduce inflation will be the fall in wholesale energy prices which we have seen, which should ultimately filter in to lower energy costs for households. Whilst the prices for some goods and services could remain more elevated, higher interest rates should help reduce the demand for goods and services. The path which inflation is expected to take can be seen in the chart below from the Bank of England.
What was perhaps surprising, pleasantly, was the uplift to economic growth expectations. Whilst the absolute level of growth remains low, they now forecast that GDP growth should be 0.25% in 2023, compared to a contraction of 0.5% in their February forecast. 0.75% growth in 2024 and 2025 is now forecast.
Preliminary figures for the first quarter released Friday showed that the UK economy grew 0.1%. Whilst there was growth recorded across the service sector, construction and manufacturing, moving forward an eye will be kept closely on household spending which showed no growth. This is likely due to incomes continuing to be squeezed due to the high level of inflation which the UK continues to endure.
In the US this week the rhetoric around the debt ceiling has been increasing. June is when horns between the two parties need to be locked and a resolution reached. Whilst history tells us that an agreement is normally reached in the end, markets are becoming increasingly nervous however that this will not be achieved. The 1 month US Treasury Bill is now yielding over 5.8%, significantly above the current Fed Funds Rate of 5%-5.25%, reflecting this risk. It is not just here where we have seen a market reaction, with one year credit default swaps also witnessing a rise in price. Everyone will be hoping that this issue is put to bed soon. After all, no one want to see a US debt default.
