Deer Point Macro joins the podcast to discuss his view that the U.S. Federal Reserve will only hike interest rates once more before easing. Content Highlights The Fed is not some magical organization that can control all parts of monetary economics (2:50); The Fed can create demand for credit, but banks have to provide supply. And banks are pushing back (5:03); What to make of the Fed's rate hikes this year? How has that affected bank portfolios? (9:37); The eurodollar market plays a significant role in Fed policy and its implications. An explanation (13:24); The Fed stands to raise once more, at its next meeting in July, before having to cut rates in September (16:21); Inflation is stubbornly persistent. Doesn't this force the Fed to raise rates? (19:57); Background on the guest (30:14); Markets don't really react to ADP employment data, but for economic detective work it can be vitally important (31:48); How this all translates to asset prices: good for bonds but commercial banks are maybe not as safe as some would think. But regional banks may be a better bet (35:11); What about cryptocurrencies? (36:34); Quick discourse on the so-called 'Fisher effect' that posits that inflation rises as Fed funds increase -- over the long term (39:14).

Background. The high prevalence and negative effects of vitamin D deficiency is a problem for a wide range of specialists worldwide. Pregnant and lactating women are at risk for vitamin D deficiency, as evidenced by the results of many epidemiological studies. Vitamin D plays an important role in providing the mother placenta fetus system, including implantation, placenta formation, embryogenesis, intra and postnatal periods. Vitamin D deficiency leads to placental insufficiency, low birth weight, gestational diabetes, premature birth, preeclampsia, and an increase in the inflammatory response.The purpose of the study an analytical review of the role and importance of vitamin D during pregnancy in modern scientific literature.Materials and methods. An analysis of 18 foreign literary sources on this topic was carried outConclusion. Vitamin D plays an important role in the system of pregnant women, the placenta and the fetus, especially during implantation, placenta formation, embryogenesis, intra and postnatal period. According to the literature review Low level 25 ON D has an adverse effect on the course of pregnancy, outcome, fetal development, and infant health. Eliminating vitamin D deficiency has a positive effect on pregnancy outcomes and babys health, i.e. serious complications during pregnancy preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, placental insufficiency, chronic infection and other diseases are significantly reduced.

English language learning (ELL) is crucial globally and takes place in formal education for many people. Interest and self-efficacy are considered critical to students’ learning experiences and academic performance across formal education. Previous research indicated that the two popular gamification elements (badges and leaderboards) have the potential to support students’ interest, self-efficacy development and academic performance. However, few prior studies were found empirically examining their effects on student interest, self-efficacy, and performance in especially ELL formal education settings. To address these gaps, this study intended to investigate how using badges and leaderboards simultaneously influenced students’ interest, self-efficacy, and academic performance in a secondary ELL course compared to non-gamification.

This article is from Frontiers in Human Neuroscience , volume 8 . Abstract Working memory (WM) involves three cognitive events: information encoding, maintenance, and retrieval; these are supported by brain activity in a network of frontal, parietal and temporal regions. Manipulation of WM load and duration of the maintenance period can modulate this activity. Although such modulations have been widely studied using the event-related potentials (ERP) technique, a precise description of the time course of brain activity during encoding and retrieval is still required. Here, we used this technique and principal component analysis to assess the time course of brain activity during encoding and retrieval in a delayed match to sample task. We also investigated the effects of memory load and duration of the maintenance period on ERP activity. Brain activity was similar during information encoding and retrieval and comprised six temporal factors, which closely matched the latency and scalp distribution of some ERP components: P1, N1, P2, N2, P300, and a slow wave. Changes in memory load modulated task performance and yielded variations in frontal lobe activation. Moreover, the P300 amplitude was smaller in the high than in the low load condition during encoding and retrieval. Conversely, the slow wave amplitude was higher in the high than in the low load condition during encoding, and the same was true for the N2 amplitude during retrieval. Thus, during encoding, memory load appears to modulate the processing resources for context updating and post-categorization processes, and during retrieval it modulates resources for stimulus classification and context updating. Besides, despite the lack of differences in task performance related to duration of the maintenance period, larger N2 amplitude and stronger activation of the left temporal lobe after long than after short maintenance periods were found during information retrieval. Thus, results regarding the duration of maintenance period were complex, and future work is required to test the time-based decay theory predictions.

Have a plan and God will have the final say, "To humans belong the plans of the heart, but from the Lord comes the proper answer of the tongue.  All a person's ways seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by the Lord. Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans." Proverbs 16-1-3

Introduction Yield increase in the second half of the last century was attributed to breeding new high yielding cultivars and use of chemical inputs, particularly nitrogenous fertilizer, where contribution of fertilizers in yield improvement has been reported in the range of 30 to 50 percent. In fact, genetic potential of high yielding cultivars is achieved using sufficient nitrogen supply because canopy development, radiation capture photosynthesis and radiant use efficiency is associated with the amount of nitrogen uptake. In recent years, enhancement of inputs efficiency and in particular chemical fertilizers have been the concern of many scientists, though nitrogen use efficiency has not been the goal of plant breeder in a broader sense. Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE), Nitrogen Uptake Efficiency (NU p E) and Nitrogen Utilization Efficiency (NU t E) are the main indices normally used to investigate the nitrogen efficiency of plants. However, Nitrogen Harvest Index (NHI), Nitrogen Partial Factor Productivity are also evaluated for this purpose. The aim of the present study was to evaluate all these indices for wheat cultivars released in Iran during the last 60 years to find the trend of changes during the course of their release. Materials and methods In order to evaluate the trend of changes of nitrogen efficiency for wheat cultivars during the course of their release, an experiment was conducted in the growth season of 2014-2015 in the experiment farm of faculty of agriculture, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Iran. The experiment was based on split plot with complete randomized Block design. In this study, treatments included 12 different levels of nitrogen (nitrogen applied from urea 46% N: 0, 100, 200 and 300 kg N ha -1 , animal manure: 0, 10, 20 and 30 ton animal manure ha -1 which respectively equal with 0, 100, 200 and 300 kg N ha -1 , and the combination of both chemical and manure fertilizer with 0:0, 50:5, 100:10 and 150:15 kg.ha -1 : ton.ha -1 ratios, respectively). These were allocated to the main plots and six wheat cultivars of wheat, Roshan and Tabasi released as very old cultivars, Falat as an old cultivars and Parsi, Sirvan and Sepahan as new ones were allocated to sub plots. Sub plots were 1.5×2 m with three replications. Results and discussion Results showed that there was no difference between cultivars in terms of economic yield, nitrogen use efficiency, nitrogen uptake efficiency and nitrogen partial factor productivity except for those of Sirvan which were lower than the others. However, there was difference between cultivars in terms of nitrogen utilization efficiency, nitrogen harvest index, straw yield and biological yield; though no particular then between old and new cultivars in this report. Without considering the type of fertilizers, by increasing nitrogen level from 100 to 300 kg N ha -1 nitrogen efficiency indices decreased significantly, so that almost maximum nitrogen efficiency indices obtained with 100 kg N ha -1 . In agreement with these results, indicated that nitrogen utilization efficiency and nitrogen harvest index differ between new and old and also between new wheat cultivars, significantly. In contrast with these results, showed that although the new cultivars have significantly higher nitrogen use efficiency than old wheat cultivars, but no significant differences in nitrogen utilization and uptake efficiencies and nitrogen harvest index were observed between under study cultivars. In   this study, in all nitrogen levels, and cultivars, nitrogen utilization and uptake efficiencies contribute 37 and 79% in nitrogen use efficiency changes, respectively. Conclusion With an increase in fertilizer levels (chemical, manure and combination of both), efficiency indices were reduced, but these reductions were lower when chemical and manure fertilizers were combined and hence more efficient fertilizer use. Results of this study indicated that in recent decades, breeding of wheat cultivar, could not improve nitrogen efficiency indices and subsequently efficient use of fertilizers in Iran.
