President Donald #Trump likes to tout a strong #economy - central to the image he wants to project as a successful businessman now bringing that same acumen to politics. But at the same time, the #FederalReserve is sending signals that U.S. economic growth is slowing - and could slow significantly more leading up to the #2020presidentialelection, ominous signs for the president’s re-election prospects, which could swing on the electorate’s impression of a mixed, mushy economy.

#JeromePowell said the Fed has lowered its #GDP forecast for 2019 to 2.1% growth, a point below 3.1% GDP realized between the Q4s of 2017 and 2018. While Trump’s grasp of economic reality is often challenged, fact-checked and spun by his political adversaries as exaggerated, the president nevertheless continues boasting about the economy, which enjoys full employment, high consumer confidence and low inflation. One area of the economy that the #Fed and Trump can agree on is anxiety that the slowing #globaleconomy could have a negative impact on the #USeconomy, and in turn - his candidacy for another 4 years in office.

"Wind Painting: An Ideal Flower"
by Karin Lisa Atkinson
“Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.
The appearance of things changes according to the emotions;
and thus we see magic and beauty in them,
while the magic and beauty are really in ourselves.
The timeless in you is aware of life's timelessness.
And knows that yesterday is but today's memory
and tomorrow is today's dream."
~ Kahlil Gibran جبران خليل جبران‎‎ 1883-1931 (Syria/Lebanon/USA)
Various excepts from his poems

Before Arctic Sea freezed many areas, most coldest season in March, but 2019 first was few days -50C, after -50C was nothing in this 2019. Barent Sea, Greenland Sea, Bering Sea are nothing ice sheets on this March 23 2019. Continuting bad conditions since 2015. Badman Nishioka/ rainforest action group/HUTAN Group/Osaka　 Now Northern-west Greenland only be -20C, anothers nothing, +10C over of temperature!!!
The Greenland Ice Sheet has an area of 1.7 million square kilometres and in places is 3.2 kilometres thick. The Ice Sheet consists of 2.9 million cubic kilometres of ice, and if all the ice melted, the water level in the oceans would rise by around seven metres.
The Greenland Ice Sheet is the world’s third-largest ice cap. It is beaten only by the two large ice caps on Eastern Antarctica and Western Antarctica.

http://polarportal.dk/en/sea-ice-and-icebergs/sea-ice-thickness-and-volume/　

The graph on the right shows the annual variation of the volume of the sea ice in the Northern Hemisphere, excluding the Baltic Sea and the Pacific. The volume of the ice is calculated on the basis of the ice thicknesses from the HYCOM-CICE model. In each grid cell the volume is calculated as thickness multiplied with concentration and with area, with contributions from all grid cells to the total volume. The grey band around the climatologic mean value corresponds to plus/minus one standard deviation based on the 10-year average 2004-2013.

Read more about the model the map is based on.

+Elizabeth Kearvell I was looking back through old posts tonight Elizabeth and discovered very sadly that Roger Agnes had passed away a year or so ago. We had a good many chat and shared a love of flowers and westies. It's a terrible thing that the work of so many people is being simply deleted soon.

At last year’s annual developer conference, Google announced that it would add a cool new AR navigation feature to its Maps platform especially aimed at people commuting often by walk in unknown locations. Now that's available in India. Here is how you can check if the feature is enabled for you. https://techpp.com/2019/03/23/google-maps-ar-navigation-india/

Cave Creek Nepean (Woodhouse Canyon)

For fun. Woodhouse Creek enters a deep canyon through the long cave seen in this picture. A long exposure picks out color detail on the walls, including greenery where sun penetrates. This can become a raging torrent after rain in the catchment above.

With spring well on its way, I thought I'd share with y'all this cozy transitional look. Layers are vital this time of year, but we can still start incorporating a few lighter colors that are fitting for the season! http://www.fallingforautumn.com/2019/03/springtime-scarf.html
