 performance tips, some songwriting tips, some studio tips. [00:03:06.18] We're going to take my song "Savior" and walk you through every step of the songwriting process, from the beginning, the lyrics, counter-melody, production. We're going to talk...
373 thirteen-week-old chicks issued from a commercial cross and 312 chickens from the L2 line were intravenously inoculated with 106 Salmonella enteritidis and the numbers of Salmonella in the spleen, liver and genital organs were assessed 3 days later. Heritabilities of the number of Salmonella were estimated at and in the liver; at and in the spleen; and at and in the genital organs, in the first and second experiments, respectively. The difference between the two experiments could result from sampling variations and from differences in the genetic structure of the two populations possibly including both heterosis and additive effects as well as their interaction in the first experiment. Genetic correlations between the number of bacteria in the genital organs and liver ( and in the first and second experiments, respectively) and spleen ( and ) were positive. Moreover a significant within-sire effect of VIL1, a marker gene for NRAMP1, was observed in 117 progeny resulting from 25 informative matings. These results indicate that there are genetic differences in the resistance to visceral infection by S. enteritidis in these commercial egg-laying flocks, and suggest that these differences are at least partly due to genetic polymorphism in the NRAMP1 region.Maybe it was a private conversation? There may be some things they don't want OP to know, for instance, they could be planning a birthday party, or tell each other they're horny.

Anyway, my bf comes from a very multilangual household, and for the sake of being we all talk English to each other. However, when it's urgent, or when we don't think we could articulate whatever we want to say as well in English, we switch. No big deal. 

My bf switches unconsciously - one minute, he's speaking in Mandarin to my BIL's gf, the next, he's talking Italian to her which she doesn't understand, so he switches to Dutch or English or whatever she does understand. Or he speaks English to us all, says one word in Dutch to his family to ask for the English translation, and forgets to switch back to English. Or he randomly starts talking French mid-way a sentence. We have had days where he just doesn't realize he's talking in another language, so we all just roll with it and keep replying in the language we'd like him to speak. Eventually, he'll switch to that one without ever knowing he spoke German for a few sentences.

 Sometimes, you don't think about what language you're speaking - it just happens. Whenever I get back home, where we all speak Dutch, I have difficulties transitioning and could be speaking English for a few days- hell, I even thought in English and forgot a few words in Dutch!

I understand that OP feels excluded and she could definitely ask her son and his partner to speak English. However, she could also learn how to speak French - I mean, I know you native English speakers think it's the only language in the world, but if you're not multilangual you're going to not understand a lot of things. I'm sorry that OP wants someone to adapt to them without ever making an effort to adapt themselves. You can't expect everyone to speak English comfortably. I try to avoid German as much as possible because I know it's weak, too, so maybe the French partner feels self-conscious about his English so he doesn't like speaking it? Anyway, if OP wants an effort from the partner, they should make one themselves too. Not the whole world revolves around the native English speakers.The Spangler Effect - The Science of Bubbles Season 01 Episode 22

Length: 12:32Municipal bond prices ended unchanged to slightly higher yesterday in a session that passed without another round of credit tightening by the Federal Reserve.
"It's just real quiet," a municipal trader said. "There were a decent number of bid lists circulating, and the market hasn't moved much either way," he ket hasn't moved much either way," he added.
The trader estimated that the lists, which came mainly from mutual funds, totaled $150 million to $250 million. "For a day like today, that's a lot," the trader said, referring to the Christmas holiday slowdown.
While some of yesterday's bid list activity appeared to be tax swapping, "I wouldn't be surprised if there were still some redemptions, you know, fallout from Orange County," the trader said.
In light secondary activity, yields on high-grade issues ended unchanged. Dollar bond prices were unchanged to up 1/8 point. In debt futures, the March municipal contract ended unchanged to settle at 84 22/32. Yesterday's March MOB spread was negative 474, compared to negative 480 on Monday. In the government market, the 30-year bond ended down 1/8 point to yield 7.84%.
In new issue developments yesterday, Florida Comptroller Gerald Lewis killed a controversial $60 million certificate of participation deal that had been planned this week for the state's equipment lease program.
A syndicate led by Bear, Stearns & Co., with PaineWebber Inc. acting as co-senior manager, had planned to price the issue yesterday. Lazard Freres & Co. had been the financial adviser on the transaction.
"During the past several days, this office has been the subject of unfounded and erroneous accusations by persons whose motives are unclear regarding the proposed Consolidated Equipment Financing Program," Lewis wrote Gov. Lawton Chiles. "As a result, public confidence in the proposed financing and program's success has been jeopardized.
"Accordingly, I have decided to terminate this program," Lewis said. "Notice is being provided to the participants in the program."
In his letter, Lewis asked the governor and cabinet to review the transaction "to avoid these kinds of problems in the future."
Under the COP program, which has been in place since 1986, the state has put into place a new series of financings every three years.
According to investment bankers, the deal had raised the ire of many regionally-based and minority-owned investment bankers who felt they had been unfairly excluded by the qualifications specified in the comptroller's selection process.
The RFP sent out by Lewis in September had specified that investment firms would not be considered for a management slot in the deal unless they had served as senior managers in at least five Florida tax-exempt issues in the past five years, and led transactions totaling $100 million.
In a statement, the comptroller's department denied that it had rigged bids on the deal. "A substantial number of companies bid for the job, were rigorously evaluated by professional staff, and given a numberical rating based on their expertise and experience," the statement read. "The highest-rated company was chosen as the prime contractor."
In addition to selling about $60 million in COPs to fund new equipment, the comptroller had considered moving forward with a $43 million refinancing for the program over a threeyear period.
Returning to yesterday's Fed watch, Eugene J. Sherman, director of research at M.A. Schapiro & Co., said the Fed likely left policy unchanged following yesterday's Federal Open Market Committee meeting in part because only five weeks had elapsed since its sharp 75-basis-point move last month. Fed officials probably want more time to assess the impact of that tightening as well as some earlier ones, Sherman said.
In addition, "the headline figures on inflation, especially at the consumer level, have been very, very mild for many months, not just the most recent [month]," Shapiro said.
"At the consumer level, we are just not seeing price pressures work their way through," he said. Schapiro said, though, that he would give "a high probability to a tightening on Feb. 1." He expects a half-point increase in both the federal funds rate and the discount rate.
Robert W. Chamberlin, a senior vice president and supervisory municipal analyst at Dean Witter Reynolds Inc., said, "It has not been a very good year" for municipals, adding that he expects 1995 to be more orderly.
"If there was one thing 1994 was not it was orderly," Chamberlin said.
Going forward, Chamberlin sees a mix of positives and negatives.
"What we've really got here is a stand-off on all these things, any of which could turn out to be epic," he said. Among the negatives Chamberlin sees are the proposed middle-in-come tax cuts, and the restructuring of the federal government's housing programs.
Middle-class tax cuts without accompanying cuts in spending would widen the deficit, which would be bad news for bonds, he said. And any cutbacks in the government's housing programs would be bad for municipal bonds in particular, Chamberlin added.
The market also must continue to grapple with the Orange County debacle, the analyst said.
"On balance, people think that, hey, all we've got here is a bad situation that is being hashed out as best it can be done," he said.
On the positive side, the analyst pointed to a plan by incoming House Banking Committee
