This trip was wonderful, it was as if we actually visited all the countries featured at Epcot! It was a great way to teach kids about other cultures and countries.
EPCOT is a very large theme park! When you are planning your visit, it might help to keep a few things in mind. FUTURE WORLD When you think about Future World, imagine the human brain. The left side of EPCOT is like the left side of your brain - analytical, hard edges, physical science themed. Here you will find attractions such as MISSION: Space, Test Track and the Universe of Energy. Going to the right, you'll find the artistic and creative themes like the right of your brain. Even the landscaping in this area is curved and sloped. You'll find The Seas, The Land and Imagination pavilions in this area. WORLD SHOWCASE When it's time to travel the world, keep these hints in mind. The American Adventure is the halfway point. The walkway itself is 1.2 miles from start to finish so it's nice to know when you've made it halfway! Also, the border countries of World Showcase are the same as America's. If you travel clockwise, you'll start at Mexico. Counter-clockwise takes you to Canada. Enjoy these little tips to help you navigate EPCOT a little easier!
Never wait in a line for Spaceship Earth. Check back throughout the day and walk right on!
This is the park with the world and the big ball (as my sister calls it). They have an interesting mash of things to do here. You can meet characters, dine in different countries, fly a space ship, go hang gliding, talk to Crush the turtle. You can even go on a ride inside the epcot ball. This is where we incountered a problem. The ride broke when we were on it. We were stuck on the ride as it was going up hill. Anyone can ride this ride so my baby was with us. She took it like a trooper though and didnt fuss to much. You can see how things may be in the future.
If have have an android phone there is an app to help you with wait times... Trust me it came in handy.. Easier to plan our day..
This is a great park for the adults, but there isn't very much for small children to do. It isn't a very enjoyable experience for the little ones.
Go to one of the other properties with small children.
Could be the best park!
We love this park! This park has some rides, though no real thrill rides. Test Track is the closest ride to a thrill ride as it hits speeds of about 60mph. What really makes this park great is the countries. I would recommend spending more than one day in this park if you want to see everything. There is a boat ride as well that takes you from one side of the "world" to another. Each country around the world has gift shops and restaurants as well as little carts to buy beer from that country. Your children can have a Passport stamped at each country as well. The day is topped off with Illuminations Reflections of Earth nightime specatacular! This show is amazing and in our opinion a MUST SEE.
Plan two days to see everything in this park.
This is by far our favorite Disney park. There is so much to do there and the different cultures are fun to see and explore.
Book dinner reservations early in the day. Restaurants will be booked full later in the day.

Thank for your email informing me of the ‘very difficult decision’ the panel had to make in declining our request for a ceiling track hoist. The equipment we asked for would have helped us lift our son onto the sofa so we can sit together as a family. Thank you for explaining this is ‘beyond the standard criteria’. I acknowledge your service has limited resources, especially in the current political climate. I too live by a budget.
It was very helpful to read your criteria. I note that it focuses on functional independence, essential daily living needs and whether it saves the council money. I also notice that your criteria doesn’t mention comfort, being a brother or son, nor creating memories.
I think our criteria of ‘essential’ is very different.
It is important that I feed and look after a pet in my care but it is my duty and privilege to love and nurture my son. I guess because he is blind and restricted to a chair, you could say he can’t see us all sitting together without him – so that’s good. I suspect though that if I willingly and repeatedly excluded either of my other children in ‘family time’, I would be rightly accused of emotional neglect.
Having a son with complex needs and life-limiting epilepsy has shown me that life isn’t about staying warm and fed. It is about love and relationship. It is about making memories and valuing a person – not what they can do. All the best parts of life can’t be touched, seen or quantified, they are felt.
I don’t want to complain about life being hard because I don’t ever want my son to think I begrudge the care I give him. I don’t want him to feel anything other than cherished. The truth is, however, that your ‘difficult day’ has resulted in a many more crappy days and weeks for me.
Firstly, the impact of your decision hangs over me like a bad smell as I grapple with what it implies about the value of my son’s life.
Then I have to decide what to do next. Do I start the letter writing and complaining?
Do I take on the role of advocating and highlighting how ableist this decision is?
Sadly, I know from experience that trying to validate my son’s needs to a professional, quickly becomes a cancer eating away at my joy. It is an exercise that costs me much more than the time it takes to write a letter.
I know that at some time in the future, all I will have are the selfies of us sitting on the sofa together. When all I am left with are the memories we have created, so I have a choice to make.
Do I line my filing cabinet with more letters to you or make memories?
Be assured my husband and I will continue to sit with all our sons, for as long as we are able. In the meantime, our backs will bear the brunt until we can raise the money for a ceiling track hoist.
I really hope you don’t suffer from too many ‘difficult decisions’ because life is tough and then you die, so make it count. I also hope you manage to improve more lives than you hinder. I’m glad for you, that after your hard day at work you get to leave. Sadly, I don’t have this option because this is my life, not a job I can clock off from.
Once you are home, after your difficult day, I hope you are able to relax on the sofa with your loved ones. When you do, please spare a thought for this family who, as a result of your difficult day, have had this ‘luxury’ restricted.
P.s. I know you aren’t a baddie and you have your own struggles, ones I know nothing about. I’m not trying to create an ‘us and them’. I honestly wish you all the best but thought it might be helpful if I expressed the impact these decisions have on real families like mine. One day I might write and let you know what a ‘difficult’ day looks like for me.
How often have you had to ‘fight’ or ‘give up’ the argument over a request for equipment or service?
Cheer me up with some success stories and leave a comment below.

Leopard's Leap Culinaria Pinot Noir Chardonnay is softly structured, long on acidity and chock-full of fruity flavours such as strawberry, raspberry, redcurrant, pomegranate and plum. Combining the characteristics of both a white and a red wine, this blend is exceptionally flexible in food-and-wine matching.
in the vineyard : Origin: Culinaria Pinot Noir Chardonnay is a Wine of Origin Western Cape. Grapes used for the production of this Burgundy-style blend originate predominantly from Elgin.
Terroir: The Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are sourced from selected vineyards in Elgin. Sea breezes from False Bay play a significant role in cooling down this coastal gem, particularly in the afternoon. These grapes have a long ripening period to develop the delicate flavours that Pinot Noir is particularly renowned for. Colder winters are crucial for the budding of Chardonnay, which results in homogeneous growth and, eventually, ripening.
about the harvest: Both varieties were harvested at an average of 23,5 degrees Balling.
in the cellar : Both varieties were bunch-sorted and whole-bunch pressed. The juice was allowed to settle, then fermented separately in secondfill French oak barrels at 20 degrees Celsius. Barrels were topped up and the wine left on the lees for six months. After six months the wine was blended and returned to the barrels for a further three months' maturation prior to bottling and release.

Halo 2 Master Chief Collection. Simultaneously press zoom and fire your gun.
Hi, it's R1CH516 from PSN here. And this is my personal jump jitter for the 2187 AKIMBO I did after the latest patch. R2 /RT by itself for low jump jitter. L2 /LT by itself for High jump jitter. Pressing both triggers at the same time does nothing, try not to do that lol. Has auto-run, instant-slide when you tap crouch, and you can also activate your payloads by holding down L3 /LS for 145 milliseconds, or the normal way. You must ENABLE sprint cancels reload in the options. And you must already have the AKIMBO attachment on the 2187 for this to work. Will also work with the Reaver /DCM-8 but the previous script i did specifically for the Reaver /Dcm8 will have the lowest hops of any jump jitter ever. Jump jitter will not activate payloads automatically, you activate them manually. To toggle jitter off and on again press L2+Dpad down. It will only rumble when jitter is turned back on. Jitter is on by default.
Infinite Warfare REAVER /DCM-8 jump jitter 'AFTER PATCH'.

Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology in Kobe, Japan have shown that retinal transplants derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can restore visual function in mice. Published in Stem Cell Reports, the study shows that neurons in the implanted retinal sheets integrate well with the host, respond to light, and send their signals to the brain as judged by behavioral experiments.
Retinal degeneration is mostly a hereditary disease that is characterized by the death of photoreceptors—the light-sensitive neurons in the eye—which eventually leads to blindness. While many have attempted to treat the disease through retinal transplants, and some have shown that transplanting graft photoreceptors to the host without substantial integration can rescue retinal function, until now, no one has conclusively succeeded in transplanting photoreceptors that functionally connect to host cells and send visual signals to the host retina and brain.
The team led by Masayo Takahashi studied this problem using a mouse model for end-stage retinal degeneration in which the outer nuclear layer of the retina is completely missing. This is an important issue because in clinical practice this type of therapy would most likely target end-stage retinas in which of the photoreceptors are dead and the next neurons up the chain do not have any input.
In order to assess the success of the transplantations, the team integrated some modifications to the retinal sheets and the model mice. They used a fluorescent protein to label the ends of the photoreceptors, which is where they would connect to the host neurons—the bipolar retinal cells—and ultimately the brain. After labeling the host retinal bipolar cells with a different fluorescent protein, they found that the labeled cell terminals from the graft did indeed make contact with the cells labeled in the host, indicating that the newly grown photoreceptors naturally connected themselves to the bipolar cells in the model mice.
To assess whether the mice could see light, the researchers used a behavioral learning task. Mice with normal vision can learn to associate sounds or light with different events, the same way that Pavlov’s famous dog associated food with the sound of a bell. While the model mice who lacked a photoreceptor layer in their retinas could not learn to associate anything with light before surgery, they could after the transplant, provided that a substantial amount of the transplant was located in the correct place. This means that not only did the new cells in the retina respond to light, but the information traveled to the brain and could be used normally to learn.

we all have times when things seem just too difficult, when the blows are falling on us and all of our usual methods of self protection seem not to be working.
This week has been a bit tricky. At the beginning of the week someone I love was in a difficult place. Despite almost a year of working towards being well, this week the universe seemed to conspire against them. This hit me quite hard. I am used to being able to fix things for those I love, I am the person who solves the problems, the one who can see a way through an issue and who hand holds for as long as is necessary.
Somehow this week I wasn’t able to do any of this. Instead, all the other things that I can usually store in that place in my head, the one where ‘I am choosing not think about that just now’ sits just beyond me, came crashing to the front demanding attention. So, for the best part of three days, I was in a complete fog of unsolvable, unfix-able and impossible scenarios, clogging up my brain space and affecting everything I said or did. Simple stuff was ignored, the big stuff was dancing on the front of my consciousness, night and day, I couldn’t stop any of it.
People around me started to notice. My normal, calm persona was replaced by a snappy almost angry person. I knew I was doing this, but was powerless to stop. Night time was the worse of all, sleep evading me, I spent countless hours with worries circling my head space. Mornings I was tired and my usual walking and talking stress busting failed to work.
Now, I have been alive quite a long time, so, obviously, this is not the first time I have felt like this, of course not. I have learned along the way, that no many how many hours I spend worrying in a dark place, nothing actually changes. I needed to remember that. The only thing that works is to either accept what you can’t change or do something positive to deal with the worries. The problem is, that when you are in the middle of it, this is hard to do.
Gradually I remembered this, I began to talk rationally with people I trust, who began to listen and to reflect back to me the things I was worrying about. Once said out loud, these problems seemed to diminish and my reaction to them similarly reduced.
Mid week and I am ready to do something different. A trip out, a rare visit to a cinema to see a film that made me laugh out loud, suddenly things start to feel better. The initial problems are still there, I just feel more able to deal with them. Perspective has been altered, I am seeing the world as it is, not as my mind was beginning to conjure up. The dark spaces are still in the distance but the good bits are once again coming forwards. It is not over at all, but it is getting better.
My worries are still there, all stored safely back in my head, and I am feeling more myself. I have to accept that there are some things I cannot change, no matter how much I want to. I can however change how I deal with them.
I am fortunate to have people in my life who care about me. Those who ignore my anger, knowing it is not directed at them but at my inability to fix things. Those who ask how I am and who mean it, and are prepared not only to listen, but to reflect back my thoughts, without judgement or favour.
Today is another day. We will walk along beside the sea later and I will remember all that is good in my world. This will always be tempered with sadness for those who are unable to find the good in their world. With concern for those I love and who are hurting, with anger at a world that doesn’t help, but hinders good people trying to live their lives. I will remember that there are more good people than bad in the world and that together we can change things.
So, I was down and I got up again.

Austin Adventures’ luxury Nicaragua vacation packages and tours allow you to explore the volcanoes, beaches, and rainforests of this pristine Central American country. Designated as one of Mesoamerica’s “biodiversity hotspots,” Nicaragua has an abundance of rich flora and diverse fauna. Luxury Nicaragua vacation packages allow you to discover amazing culture, beauty and natural diversity in a perfect setting.
On our Nicaragua vacation packages, you can hike along the Masaya Volcano National Park’s 54-square-kilometer caldera, kayak on Lake Nicaragua, the largest fresh water lake in Central America, and tour one of the the oldest cities in the western hemisphere, Granada.
When considering the best time to visit Nicaragua, you should first decide what you want to do while you’re there. If your priority is surfing the best waves possible, you’ll want to go during the rainy season, when the waves are top notch. If you like to keep your feet on the ground on vacation, then you may want to experience all that is wonderful about Nicaragua during the dry season: the hiking, volcanoes, colonial architecture, and, of course, the breathtaking views!
Nicaragua’s dry season is December through April. Much of the Pacific side of Nicaragua is made up of tropical dry forest. During the dry season, many of the trees lose their leaves and there are not as many flowers in bloom. However, you will experience clear blue sky and less humidity, which makes exploring the colonial cities or towering volcanoes a little easier and more comfortable.
Nicaragua’s rainy season is May through November. Most of the rain that falls during the rainy season falls in the evenings or at night so you will generally experience periods of sunny, blue skies during the daytime hours when you’re out exploring. September and October get the most rain, but this is when sea turtles are nesting and some of the remote beaches are host thousands of turtles during the nesting season.
WONDERING WHAT TO PACK FOR YOUR NICARAGUA ADVENTURE VACATION?
We all know how important it is to pack wisely for an adventure vacation. The right balance between bringing the items you need and packing light can be difficult to achieve. The tips below can help you get started.
Sturdy, supportive hiking boots are a necessity for exploring the rugged volcano chain that runs down the entire length of the pacific side of the country. Hiking poles are also a good idea since frequent showers can make the mountain trails slippery. Anytime you are hiking in the jungle, you definitely want to wear closed-toe shoes that provide good ankle support.
Obviously you’re going to want to have your favorite swimming suit or trunks with you when you arrive at the beach, but we recommend that you bring at least two. In the humid climate of Nicaragua, clothing takes longer to dry so it’s nice to have a dry suit or trunks to put on in the morning when the air still feels a little cooler.
3. Staying dry in the rainforest.
You’ll always want to have a light rain jacket or an umbrella with you when you’re out exploring, but another great way to stay dry is to leave your cotton clothing at home. Cotton materials soak up moisture and can take days to dry in a tropical climate. Try to stick with synthetic materials. Clothing made from acrylic or nylon is a great choice because these fabrics dry quickly if they get wet.
Nicaragua hasn’t been involved in ecotourism as long as it’s neighbor Costa Rica, but the Nicaraguan people are learning quickly and their reputation as an ecotourism destination has grown strong over the last few years.
1. Many of us remember the days of political unrest in Nicaragua, but now it is considered one of the safest countries in Central America for tourists.
The political unrest of the 70’s and 80’s is a thing of the past. If you follow the basic rules of traveling in any country, you’ll feel safe in Nicaragua, you need to always be aware of your surroundings, avoid walking in unpopulated areas at night, don’t carry large amounts of cash, and don’t leave your belongings unattended.
2. If you like to surf, Nicaragua has it all.
The best area for surfers of all abilities is the area around San Juan del Sur. This area has fantastic cuisine and charming places to stay.
There are fewer mosquitoes or other biting bugs than you might expect, but when you are in the jungle, it’s wise to wipe over exposed skin lightly with a bug- spray infused moist towelette. “Bug wipes” are much easier to travel with than traditional aerosols or pump spray bottles because you don’t have to worry about spills.

Diana ignored her. She’d been looking forward to this race for weeks—a trek across the island to retrieve one of the red flags hung beneath the great dome in Bana-Mighdall. In a flat-out sprint, she didn’t have a chance. She still hadn’t come into the fullness of her Amazon strength. You will in time, her mother had promised. But her mother promised a lot of things.
This race was different. It required strategy, and Diana was ready. She’d been training in secret, running sprints with Maeve, and plotting a route that had rougher terrain but was definitely a straighter shot to the western tip of the island. She’d even—well, she hadn’t exactly spied….She’d gathered intelligence on the other Amazons in the race. She was still the smallest, and of course the youngest, but she’d shot up in the last year, and she was nearly as tall as Thyra now.
I don’t need luck, she told herself. I have a plan. She glanced down the row of Amazons gathered at the starting line like troops readying for war and amended, But a little luck wouldn’t hurt, either. She wanted that laurel crown. It was better than any royal circlet or tiara—an honor that couldn’t be given, that had to be earned.
Tek raised her hands for silence and bowed to Hippolyta, who sat between two other members of the Amazon Council in the royal loge—a high platform shaded by a silken overhang dyed in the vibrant red and blue of the queen’s colors. Diana knew that was where her mother wanted her right now, seated beside her, waiting for the start of the games instead of competing. None of that would matter when she won.
Diana set her pace to the rhythm of those words, bare feet slapping the packed earth of the road that would lead her through the tangle of the Cybelian Woods to the island’s northern coast.
Ordinarily, a miles-long trek through this forest would be a slow one, hampered by fallen trees and tangles of vines so thick they had to be hacked through with a blade you didn’t mind dulling. But Diana had plotted her way well. An hour after she entered the woods, she burst from the trees onto the deserted coast road. The wind lifted her hair, and salt spray lashed her face. She breathed deep, checked the position of the sun. She was going to win—not just place but win.
She’d mapped out the course the week before with Maeve, and they’d run it twice in secret, in the gray-light hours of early morning, when their sisters were first rising from their beds, when the kitchen fires were still being kindled, and the only curious eyes they’d had to worry about belonged to anyone up early to hunt game or cast nets for the day’s catch. But hunters kept to the woods and meadows farther south, and no one fished off this part of the coast; there was no good place to launch a boat, just the steep steel-colored cliffs plunging straight down to the sea, and a tiny, unwelcoming cove that could only be reached by a path so narrow you had to shuffle down sideways, back pressed to the rock.
The northern shore was gray, grim, and inhospitable, and Diana knew every inch of its secret landscape, its crags and caves, its tide pools teeming with limpets and anemones. It was a good place to be alone. The island seeks to please, her mother had told her. It was why Themyscira was forested by redwoods in some places and rubber trees in others; why you could spend an afternoon roaming the grasslands on a scoop-neck pony and the evening atop a camel, scaling a moonlit dragonback of sand dunes. They were all pieces of the lives the Amazons had led before they came to the island, little landscapes of the heart.

If you’ve been looking for online jobs and other work-from-home opportunities, you’ve probably come across an online scam or three. While there is plenty of legitimate online work available, there are also plenty of unscrupulous individuals willing to take your money and give you nothing or very little in return.
In some cases, scammers protect themselves by operating out of protected countries like Cyprus. In other cases, the scammers create elaborate return/refund policies that require you to spend even more money before you can ask for your original investment back.
Envelope stuffing is always, always and always a scam. Why? Because the method that it proposes for making money from home just doesn’t make sense. Envelope stuffing can be performed far more cheaply and quickly by automated robots. Also, mailing materials to your house, and then having them mailed back to the company, wastes a lot of money.
The envelope stuffing scam operates as follows: You apply to an envelope stuffing company and pay an application/processing/materials fee. The materials are sent to your house along with instructions for stuffing the envelopes. You follow the instructions and send the finished materials back to the company. Some time later, you are informed that your submitted materials did not meet company expectations for quality. Now, you’re out of the money spent on materials plus your time.
In an alternate scenario, you receive a letter that instructs you to send the same envelope stuffing ad you just answered to other hapless individuals. So, you’ll make money…but only after sucking other people into the same envelope stuffing scam.
The term ‘data entry’ covers a broad range of online scams. In many cases, the scam involves posting affiliate links on ads that you create and then pay to run. So, the actual ‘data entry’ involves you writing PPC copy for Google, Amazon, Facebook and other platforms.
There is nothing simple or easy about writing PPC ad copy. Such copy, in order to be successful, must contain good keywords and calls-to-action (CTAs). Screw up either item and your cost-per-click could go through the roof.
Sometimes, the scammer already has the copy ready to go and is just looking for a sucker to run (i.e., pay for) the ads. You are provided with “copy and paste” copy that you then ‘paste’ into your own Google AdWords or other ads. You won’t make any money unless someone clicks on your ads and buys the item/system/service you are selling. Meanwhile, all those clicks have to be paid for by you.
There are work-at-home assembly scams that claim you can make good money at home by assembling crafts and other nick knacks. The scam begins when you pay for the kit, which includes craft-making supplies and instructions. After you’ve completed your craft project, you send the finished product back to the company for payment.
Unfortunately, no matter how well you follow the instructions and/or correct your initial mistakes, you never quite create the ideal craft that is accepted and paid for by the company. Falling ever short of perfection, you end up ordering and paying for more and more assembly kits, then paying to send the crafts back to the company, then learning that these crafts are also not ‘up to company standards.’ It’s a vicious cycle that robs you of your cash.
This scam is frequently featured on roadways signs, by traffic lights, or on bulletin boards. You are promised to make hundreds of dollars by typing at home after you first call a phone number or go online.
Once you reach out to these scammers, you are told that you’ll need to purchase an info packet. That packet might cost $24.95, $39.99, or something in between. Once you receive your info packet, you learn that your ‘job’ involves posting signs, flyers and ads about that same type-at-home ‘job’ you just received to other unsuspecting individuals.
Scammers tout medical billing as a viable work-at-home job opportunity. For a few thousand dollars, you are provided with billing software, instructional videos/PDFs and workbooks. Some medical billing training systems even send you weeks’ worth of online instruction.
Unfortunately, what you don’t receive is information on clients or how to find them. Furthermore, medical billing is a competitive business filled with all kinds of federal regulations about patient privacy. Medical clinics either process their bills in-house or outsource to firms, not individual freelancers. Finally, the medical billing software that you are provided with will often not meet the specifications required by your potential clients.
With this scam, you usually pay a few bucks to obtain a list of companies looking for telecommuters. So far, so good.
However, what you end up receiving is a generic list of companies that may or may not be hiring remote workers. Specific jobs aren’t provided, or if they are, they expired a long time ago. The web links go to the company’s main home page, not to any recent work-from-home job(s).
Similar to envelope stuffing, this scam has you paying a small fee to learn how you can make “as much as $50 per email.” When you receive the information you requested, you learn that you’ll now be emailing provided lists of individuals with the same email processing scam you just signed up for.
Spamming people with emails will eventually result in your ISP being blocked from various mail servers, at which point you’ll have trouble using your email account for sending regular email.
Scammers often ‘cloak’ a 1-900 phone number inside of a regular number and then ask that you call that regular number for more information about a work-at-home opportunity. When you do, you end up being charged several dollars per minute for your informational call.
Save yourself the headache of being charged exorbitant phone rates by never using your phone to listen to recorded information. Instead, learn about the work-at-home opportunity by going on the company’s website.
Many work-at-home opportunities come in multi-level marketing (MLM) formats. In the MLM system, you act as a direct distributor of products to others. Another major source of your income is derived from member recruitment (i.e., your downline). In return for your efforts, you are compensated with shared commissions for each person who signs up under you, as well as any people who sign up under them.
When scams enter the MLM environment, they transform MLMs into pyramid schemes. The pyramid scheme is defined as having no true products, or token products only. Instead, its profits are derived solely from member recruitment. The real purpose of the pyramid scheme is to get as many individuals as possible to sign up and hand over their money. The pyramid scheme runs its course when new members fail to sign up, which collapses the system from beneath.
This classic work-at-home scam is still ongoing. In its basic form, the scam letter or email asks you to put your name at the bottom of a list of names and send this updated list to 100 or more people. You are also asked to send money to one or several names at the top of the list. In doing so, you are promised to one day receive money from the people you’ve mailed or emailed.
Not only is this format illegal and could end with you being prosecuted for mail/email fraud, it just doesn’t work. Chain mail scams are rigged so that only the scammers make any money from the scam.
When it comes to looking for and answering work-at-home job listings, you must exercise caution. If you need to pay money up-front for the opportunity, without even knowing what this opportunity entails, you should step back and review the program carefully. It’s always better to err on the side of caution than to find yourself out several hundred or even thousands of dollars, or in legal trouble over mail fraud.
I can relate to many of the scams you posted here, and have gone through some of them with plenty of regret. It’s helpful to know that I’m not the only one out there with these experiences, and that I didn’t just fail because I did it wrong. It seems like most of the “opportunities” out there are just ones that take your money and run. There isn’t much real help, and there is an awful lot of misguidance and falsification. Thanks for the heads up on many of these!
Glad to help Jini! Your experiences are exactly why I started this site in the first place.
I think it’s very important to teach people and especially the older of us about online scams. Elderly scamming is a pandemic that could be prevented. I’m sure everybody’s grandma gave money to a Nigerian prince or a chain email. Thanks for the advice, I’m sure everybody should send this to their grandparents.
I agree entirely Anthony. There are too many people out there willing to take advantage of not only the elderly, but people down on their luck as well. They target the most vulnerable and it’s absolutely despicable.
Thanks for sharing about all the scammers in the article.
The points that you mentioned reminds me about my days back when I has no idea about make money online and was looking one that can make my wish come true.
I have been fell into almost all the hypes you are mentioning until I realize that there is nothing I can gain if I never put my effort and focus on earning genuinely.
So I decided to build a genuine website and create quality content that can benefits my reader.
I am still on my way to be success in this industry and I will make come through!
That’s the big thing Wying. Everyone expects the Internet to be some sort of magical ATM where you can withdraw loads of money without having to put any effort in and the scammers capitalize on this belief. That’s why I started this site. I wanted to help protect others.
What amazes me is the fact that the scam artists are always the easiest to find and it’s so easy to prey on people’s dream of getting rich quick.
Do they just market better or is it people’s gullibility that makes businesses like this gain traffic?
Sending money to receive the opportunity to earn money just sounds shady and always needs to be checked, checked and double checked, wouldn’t you agree?
It’s all in the marketing. They typically target people who can’t afford to lose any money to begin with so they have an audience that is desperate and then they hype up their futures with delusions of fame and fortune that by the time they hit the end of the promotional video, their wallets are already out.
I don’t see anything wrong with paying to receive PROPER training on how to make money online. Keyword there is proper. You wouldn’t fault a cooking school for charging students for lessons on how to become a chef. The issue is hyping up this industry into something it’s not just to rip people off.
Oh boy, we should all know about SCAMS. So many scams online that it makes me sick. Thank you for this Post and providing your efforts with this site to expose the nasty people who try to make money off unsuspecting people who are innocent.
The only real position listed above is Data Entry and it is absolutely nothing like what is advertised online. Typically, you will work for $8-$10 per hour in an office setting. Very few companies hire at home employees for data entry and they certainly do not pay the ludicrious amounts you see advertised online.

This is the best time of the year if you like blackberries.
They are getting ripe all over the place (the ones shown here grow in Albany’s Waverly Jewish Cemetery), but as you can see they’re not getting ripe all at once. That’s a good thing because it allows us to enjoy them for several weeks.
The bad news: There’s a war on against blackberries. At least one variety is considered an invasive plant, and municipal authorities and others are doing their best to keep it under control, if not to wipe it out. In Bryant Park, for example, berry vines have been hacked back from the drive through the park, foiling would-be berry gatherers and even the casual snacker.
Another downside of this campaign is that fragments of thorny vines often end up on the pavement, and if you’re not careful to avoid them on your bike, a flat is the likely result.

How to recognize different types of leadership style?
Lewin and his colleagues were among the first to make a distinction between leadership styles, back in 1939. The leadership style is shaped up by the characteristics and personalities of individuals in combination with culture. Also the goals and objectives of an organization play a role. In general, the leadership styles can be classified into 5 different styles. These are: autocratic, democratic, laissez-fair, transactional and transformational leadership.
In case of the authoritarian or autocratic leadership style, managers are in control. This is because they have the knowledge and skills to do the job. It is a real top-bottom setup. In this case all decision-making power lies with the leader(s). So, there is no input from the subordinates.
The democratic style of leadership concentrates more on employees by increasing their participation. Employees are taking part in the process of setting goals, solving problems and building teams.
“Laissez-faire” is the French word for “leave it”. The laissez-faire leadership style leaves employees free. In this case, the authority to make decisions and creating objectives are in hand of the employees.
The transactional leadership is based on the concept of a “transaction”. Employees are supposed to follow their leaders and in return they get salary and other incentives. Therefore, the transactional leadership motivates employees for increasing their productivity and achieving higher standards or targets.
The transformational leadership style is all about listening to employees, motivating and encouraging people. It is about being visible for employees and having a vision about the team. But, it is also about celebrating successes with the team and being an example for everybody.

This inaugural Young Writers' competition is intended – among other things - to commemorate the young poet and writer, Ali Mehdi, who sadly passed away on the 21st of June 2008 at the young age of 29.
Ali's passion was writing. He strongly believed in the power of the pen to make a difference in the world. As such, there could not be a more befitting way of cherishing Ali's dreams and enthusiasm than to support young souls with sky-high dreams and aspirations to be a published writer.
Sponsored by the proceedings from Ali's three published poetry collections: Rapidly Blue (2002), Wonderous World (2005) and In the Dimmest of Light (2008), this competition invites creative writing entries from all aspiring young writers in the categories of Poetry, Short Story and Articles.
The competition aims to promote and encourage gifted young writers, to celebrate their talent and allow them a valuable opportunity to present their literary work to a wider audience.

Buying a house is a goal shared by numerous people across the world. If you are in India or plans to settle down there soon, it will be best to purchase your own house rather than rent one each month. In addition to the freedom that comes with having your own apartment, you will live in lavishness without paying much. The starting point is getting in touch with the owners of the sky villa Nashik —the Karmaa Group.
What is this villa all about?
It is a beautifully designed residential property in Nashik city. The Sky Villa is built by a company that has been going strong for over forty years and one that understands the needs of home buyers really well. Boasting modern architecture and amenities, the Sky Villa is in the middle of the smart city of Nashik. It is, therefore, a villa that is closest to all the social amenities you might require as a single person or parent. There are 3BHK and 4BHK flats in the Sky Villa and all are excellently planned and decorated with lovely architectural designs. Furthermore, the project offers exceptionally stunning penthouses on the eleventh and twelfth floors and this can allow you to capture the breathtaking landscape of the Nashik area while enjoying ultimate privacy.
It is difficult to design and build your own home and fill it with all the features offered at the Sky Villa property unless you have a lot of money. Buying a ready-made fairly-priced house is more prudent if you want to give your family the best living conditions the soonest possible. At this luxurious place, you and your family will enjoy world-class internal and external facilities. The interiors of the house offer stylish tiled floors and bathrooms, gypsum-finish walls, sliding windows, veneer-finish main doors, fans, hidden high quality electrical wiring and plumbing components, inverters and a lot more.
The exteriors of the house are designed for those seeking to live like royalty. There is no need going outside the gate looking for recreation and leisure facilities. The sky villa near Mumbai offers a club house. This is where you can retire to after work as there is a totally equipped gym and a covered swimming pool to help you get rid of stress and fatigue. Secondly, there are penthouses at the top floors with a lavish double-heighted living room as their centre of attraction. From here you can enjoy serenity and peace as you sip your drink admiring the city’s natural surroundings.
Another symbol of elegance here is the lush garden boasting modern landscaping art. Fully-equipped with seats and a kids’ playground, the landscaped garden will become a place where you can spend quality time with your children. The entrance lobby is a double-heighted hall that clearly shows the builder’s designing prudence.
So far you have seen just how comfortable and classy the Sky Villa can be and all you have to do is to pick the house you wish to buy. By so doing, you will give yourself and family the best lifestyle on earth as they will have access to some of the things that most people can only dream of.

This area had a few small sidings and stub tracks. There was a tie yard with a small stub track, this was removed in 1937. Next came the charcoal siding and Hamer Lumber, built in 1956. A little further east was Kelly View siding and the Kent Junction passing track. The KV siding would hold about 12 cars amd the KJ passing track was about 32 cars long.
Kent Junction was where the Roaring Fork operations branched off the main line. There was a wye track arrangement here. Just north of the wye, there were two sidings "Old Siding", 25-30 cars and "New Siding", 20-25 cars.
This siding or spur was only around for a year or so. Built in June 1946, a coal dock was built and the track could hold 19 cars total. In April 1947, the track was extended 5 more cars. The spur and switch were removed in August 1947. The spur tailed toward the east and was located on the north side of the main.
In the early 40's, there was only a spur here called Hobo spur. In 1944, a siding was built about 1/2 mile west of Hobo. It was called Gleason Siding, it had laoding dock and originally held 6 cars. A few months later, the dock was removed and the track extended to hold about 25 cars. At this time the siding was renamed Blackwood Siding. Later a spur was added called Kelly's spur. This held 2 coal docks and a tipple, 5 cars could be placed at each dock and the tipple held 2 cars. Another siding was added in 1946, which held 20 cars and a tipple. In 1955, Hobo spur was removed. In the mid 1960's, operations on Kelly's Spur and Blackwood siding were done. The siding was turned into a stub track and a short empty track was built to serve the 1 remaining tipple.

Donald Trump may eliminate Student Loan Debt Forgiveness in his first budget. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos has also publicly stated she strongly favors eliminating the Student Loan Debt Forgiveness plan.
In addition, Betsy DeVos has failed to state how she plans to deal with federal student loans in the future.
Reports as of last May are that Trump and DeVos’ initial education budget will seek to eliminate the Student Loan Debt Forgiveness program. This would cost student loan borrowers billions of dollars. Yet, it would reap millions of dollars for the DeVos family. The DeVoses hold a sizeable stake in several student loan providers.
Trump and DeVos also want to eliminate over $700 million in Perkins Loans and massively reduce work-study programs.
What Happens If Trump/DeVos Take Student Loan Debt Forgiveness away?
Borrowers eligible for Student Loan Debt Forgiveness through a Direct Loan Program should also immediately consider consolidating their loans.
These steps alone will not ensure that borrowers will receive Student Loan Debt Forgiveness. But being in the program prior to any law changes is likely to improve your chances of receiving it greatly.
Consolidate ALL current repayment plans into a single Income-Based Repayment program (IBR). Students would pay 12.5% of their income toward their loans each month and receive total loan forgiveness after 15 years.
The only logical way to fix to this would be to lower the interest rate for federal loans going forward.
Trump favors getting rid of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program and placing borrowers into a single IBR.
Universities will be required to spend all of their endowment money on their students. This would lower tuition and cut student debt.
How Could Trump’s Student Loan Debt Forgiveness Proposals Impact Borrowers?
Trump’s proposal would change the IDR program as he has suggested. However, Income-Driven Repayment plans would have a higher monthly payment but forgiveness would occur sooner.
What are the tax implications on forgiven student debt?
How this impact bankruptcy reforms?
How do I get student loan forgiveness?
It seems very likely that whatever program the Trump Administration implements will place forgiveness after 15 years of payments.
Borrowers should make sure they are enrolled in the direct loan program. If they are not, consolidate them into the direct loan program. If they are Stafford loans you may also want to see if you qualify for any of the Stafford forgiveness programs.
You also don’t need to wait for Trump or DeVos to lower your payment. You can lower your payment today.
Look at Income Driven Repayment programs and/or private loan consolidations today. It is likely Trump will continue the IDR program that helps borrowers lower their payment to a manageable size.
1) Trump is clearly in favor of a single IBR program going forward. He also favors a shorter forgiveness period than the current version. You should enroll in a current Income-Driven Repayment program (or a loan rehabilitation) if you are in default. If you’re not, it may be best to wait and see what develops with Trump’s stated new version before you enroll. The shorter forgiveness period may end up saving you money over the long-term.
If you’re not enrolled in an IBR it may be best to wait and see what develops. The shorter forgiveness period may end up saving you money over the long-term.
2) Make sure to stay current on your student loans payments and out of default status. Furthermore, keeping your loans in good standing is the best way to keep your opinions open going forward.
3) No one knows how Trump’s student loan policies will affect private loans. Experts say it may be worth it to simply to wait and see what develops. This may offer the opportunity to take advantage of better options in the near future.

Home > 2015 > January > Obama’s Latest Giveaway . . . But there’s no such thing as free tuition.
Last week the president feigned striking a blow for lower college costs with his proposal to make junior colleges free for all attendees meeting minimal academic standards. True to form, the president has taken on something not heretofore considered an impediment to college attendance with an initiative that will cost billions of dollars a year. Simply put, it’s a crass move that puts politics over policy.
The main flaw in the president’s proposal is that it misdiagnoses the problem. Virtually no one is failing to get a degree because their local junior college is too pricey: Tuition at community colleges is somewhere between $3,000 and $5,000 a year. It’s not chump change, but neither does it impose the sort of crippling debt that the president likes to bemoan.

454 34th Street is a quiet and charming 1920’s elevator building near Pill Hill, offering three stories of charming studios and junior 1-bedroom units are loaded with ample storage and generous windows offering views and lots of natural light. The central location is just a few short blocks from Mosswood Park, Kaiser & Broadway Auto Row. Close to the heart of Oakland First Fridays and The Hive-chock full of new restaurants, bars, galleries, boutiques and a Sprouts Whole Foods. A few blocks away from MacArthur BART and pickup for several Silicon Valley shuttles-it is a perfect neighborhood to go carless.

After an extensive, sixth-month transformation, this Lakeshore favorite is completely unrecognizable from what it once was, in a good way: It's now clean and bright, with a slate of highly creative cocktails and a relaxed, picnic-y vibe.
Vegan, gluten-free, and meat eaters alike eat well at the South Berkeley restaurant.
A beloved Lakeshore Avenue bar gets a facelift.

Alternates: MEX Ana Menéndez, PHI Clariss Guce, MAR Maha Haddioui, PHI Pauline Rosario.
I just really wish there was a team competition component to this somehow. Not just qualification based on where you claim nationality determining the flag you play under for a tournament that may as well be any other co-sanctioned event.
I agree. Two person teams would be much more compelling, and better fits the patriotic/nationalistic Olympic theme. Maybe even mixed teams, liked mixed curling in the Winter Olympics.
Just get rid of the individual tournament, which essentially is a very watered down WGC.
Rickie, "Tiger, make sure you park off to the left."
TW, "Should I bring anything?"
Don't think Rory is going to play in the 2020 Olympics.
Mixed foursomes would be awesome.
I would prefer they ditch the 72 hole stroke play format for a 64 person match play format.
Is there an age limit on this thing? I see Martin Kaymer for DE but shouldn't Bernard Langer be getting the sniff here?
It's based on the OWGR and Senior Tour events are worthless.
Langer is currently the 18th highest ranked German golfer at #810 in the world.
****. I'd like to see some action on him against those ranked above him.
The Augusta Masters and British Open feature former champions. The British Open also invited the previous Senior British Open winner.
Then the top 8 players qualify for match play tournament for individual gold, silver, and brozen.
If they made the teams today there would be one member of the Senior Tour playing, Vijay Singh of Fiji.
Langer against the 18 Germans ranked ahead of him. I'd like to see the odds on it anyway.
Golf gets four really important weeks every year. I wouldn't care if anyone who wasn't looking for the extra exposure just skipped the olympics. Golf channel will be telling us how important it is all next year thanks to their NBC affiliation. Yawn.
I'd much rather they made it for amateurs only (and yes, I get that almost all Olympic sports are pro now), but I'd much rather watch guys competing for a once in a life time chance than another glorified WGC event.
Very curious to see how this next olympics is going to be approached by the players, especially considering it will be held in a much more golf minded nation than brazil. Last time there was virtualy no hype at all, players dismissing it etc., but the tournament delivered a great champion with great moments and afterwards the whole experience seemed very positive both from players and viewers. Hope players like rory will rescind their previous choice to dismiss the tournament and play this one. They could do with a format change to combine men and women to make it feel like more of a team championship.
I bet to Justin Rose it's important.
Team format only with the possibility for interesting upsets would make it intriguing. India or Singapore on the podium, who would have picked that?
4 days of competition, best 3 scores each day count towards the team score.
Award top-3 teams and top-3 individuals.
Make it like mixed curling in the Winter Olympics.
First phase is stroke play: one round of alternate shot, one round of better ball. Top 16 teams from stroke play advance to match play.
All the pro tours count the Olympics as an official event, at least for the purposes of meeting minimum event requirements. If they want to count it as an official win and/or hand out exemptions for winning a medal, that’s cool too.
I think we'll see a fairly strong field, Japan is a proper host country and should be able to draw a good portion of the top players.
You mean a German National Championship, as in cycling? That could be interesting.
No, I was struck that Langer is supposedly the 18th best pro German golfer in that country. I don't see it but then someone pointed out that the senior tour doesn't count for diddly in the OWGR. Now his rankling makes sense to me.
If you had a field of the 20 "best" professional golfers what would be the odds on Langer straight up against those guys? You got Kaymer, Siem, Cejka and ? It is merely a discussion for discussion's sake. It matters not, just an interesting thing going on.
Any other countries or examples where the senior or a lady from a particular country is likely the "better" pick straight up in a competition? Miguel Angel Cabrera is close but he is just 49. He is the only one I can think of but I am admittedly not very worldly in my following of golf.

Recent "revelations" concerning the Lehman debacle highlighted a very important point: media and regulators alike have had their heads in the sand for decades. The headline of a recent article plainly makes the point: "Findings on Lehman Take Even Experts by Surprise." If this is really true, it is quite an indictment on either the lack of intelligence or truthfulness of our regulators. Sadly, either one could be the case. Between lobbying dollars and entrenched interests, our financial regulatory regimes have become so perverted as to have little basis in reality. [A Business Insider blog author] recently penned an Op-Ed in the Financial Times where [he] made the point that all the clamor and criticism around derivatives was ill-founded, that financial transactions completely divorced from derivatives could and have caused even more damage than derivatives themselves. The Lehman example is a case in point. This is not a story about derivatives, no more than Enron was a story about derivatives. But the key take-away should be that if our rules and regulations are so porous as to allow transactions like Lehman's to gain approval from their "blue chip" legal counsel and expensive "Big Four" accountants, then there is a serious problem with the state of our regulatory framework. The SEC is a highly politicized organization and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is a kind of self-regulatory organization that is ultimately a stooge of industry. Do we need any more examples of the private sector's inability "to fulfill the responsibility of public interest?" [The blogger] thinks not. The FASB has accumulated exceptional power and influence over the years, yet has merely served as an appendage of those whom it was supposed to be regulating.
To Whom Does The Fed Intend To Sell Its MBS?

Last spring, we captured the very first spy photos of the 2020 Buick LaCrosse refresh. Then in June, we managed to get higher-quality photos thanks to a prototype testing in Europe. And now, we got our hands on actual photos of the model thanks to a Chinese leak, showing the scope of the exterior redesign in both regular and range-topping Avenir trim.
The refresh for the biggest Buick sedan comes exactly three years after the launch of the current third-generation model.
As we expected, the aesthetic changes of the 2020 Buick LaCrosse refresh are mainly focused on the front and rear, while the sides of the sedan remain the same as the current model.
The front end has been completely redesigned, with the new face being similar to the new, second-generation Buick Enclave. A new grille is taller and wider, abandoning Buick’s traditional vertical waterfall grille design. The new grille also integrates with the redesigned, slimmer headlights.
In addition, the front bumper of the 2020 Buick LaCrosse refresh also incorporates an interesting C-shaped design under the headlights that complements the entire design quite well.
Moving to the rear, Buick’s new full-size sedan offers a more harmonious design. Like the headlights, the new taillights are thinner than before. They are now joined by a chrome horizontal bar that accentuates the model’s ample width.
Meanwhile, the new bumper cover has a new lower fascia with a piano black finish.
Unofficial Chinese media reports state that the 2020 Buick LaCrosse refresh will be offered with two turbocharged engines. The base block is the 1.3L L3Z making 160 horsepower. More equipped versions will use GM’s new 2.0L LSY engine that makes 237 horses.
The 2020 Buick LaCrosse will likely officially make its debut during the upcoming auto show season in the United States that kicks off this coming January in Detroit.
Stay tuned to GM Authority as we bring you the latest Buick news and Buick LaCrosse news.
I guess it makes the grille more integrated into the front end, including that chrome strip extending under the headlights. But I don’t think this alone will spark sales. Maybe they will give the 2020 LaCrosse the defeat switch for the start/stop like is on the Envision?
I am so glad they changed those Tail lights. These look much, much better.
This is certainly a marked improvement over the previous styling both front and rear. To me though, it still pales in comparison to the Avenir concept car. That cars styling made a real statement and would have generated real sales results.
Big improvement. Regal needs something to happen to it.
The only thing the Regal needs is better Interior Materials and options. I mean the Avenir doesn’t even come with Ventilated seats. It is insane.
Buick needs to go up in amenities and price. Closer to Lincoln, Acura, and Volvo.
GM cannot design period. What is this garbage?
Design something that looks good please this is another GM flop.
I don’t like the Mazda grill.
I am a Buick purist….love the waterfall grills but I guess I’m in the minority. Sales are poor due to pitiful marketing of Buicks in general and changing buyer habits not grills.
GM gave us the stunning Avenir concept and told us to expect the car to influence upcoming Buicks. Unfortunately it wasn’t very influential.
I must say it is probably to little to late to save the Sedan market. The sales are in Crossovers. To little interior space, to little trunk space, and to small of a trunk opening.
I own a 2011 and the trunk opening is the biggest problem. I was going to buy a Enclave but the price has gotten ridiculous. Now just thinking I will keep my low mileage 2011. Get rid of my wife’s car and buy her a used minivan. Since I retired, and the high prices, have pushed buying new out of reach. I personally prefer the design of the previous generation.
This should have how lacrosse should have look when it came out….
Most definitely a huge improvement over the current design! The face certainly flows better with the rest of the body!
Now add a 3.6 TT and AWD option and I’d trade in my Cadillac in a heartbeat!!!
My 2006 Lacrosse was finest GM Ride.
Cost me $23k. Out the door. Never had a problem in time I owned it. But traded for new 2017 Honda Accord. Buick has been our family ride for decades. But GM taken the car up in price to $40k since last purchase.
Buick needs to address cost and value.
That is the price given on Buick’s website, step into the dealer and you’ll likely be able to haggle for something more. Save up to $1500 more if you have a GM card too. I was able to get a 2017 Premium, MSRP $45,180 for $28,000 before factoring trade… V6, head up display, heated/ventilated leather, sunroof, Bose, Navigation. Accord would surely be a downgrade from here.
There’s a good chance that this will be my next vehicle as long as there isn’t too much cost cutting as recently seen with the Cruze and Malibu. I love the new headlamps and grille on the Avenir. Looking very sleek. Hoping that the slimmer headlamp design will have LED bulbs. I don’t see fog lamps, but I don’t believe the current Chinese version has them either. The grille on the “base” (non Avenir) looks incredibly down market like a cheaply equipped Hyundai rather than the premium car the Buick is supposed to be. I will miss the waterfall grille, and was hoping they would return to chrome bars to regain some of the road presence lost in the current model. The C-shaped cheeks on the front bumper remind me of the Taurus Interceptor as well.
I’m less excited about the rear. While, I feel that the rear is the weak point of the current design, I’m not so sure that this improves in a way that I hoped. I would rather see the tail lights have a partial horizontal bottom similar to the Avenir and Avista concepts, or the Verano based Opel Astra sedan. The bottom edge is a little melty looking here, but will reserve final judgement until I see better pictures.
I expect interior changes to be minimal: automatic heated steering wheel, updated e-shifter design, and maybe heated outboard rear seats like the Malibu recently got. Probably HD backup camera like the Malibu also just got, the backup lamp in the bumper appears positioned to illuminate the camera view much better. Hopefully a defeat switch to the auto stop. I’d love to see a redesigned overhead console with sunglasses holder and the speed limit indicator returned to the gauge cluster, itself being angled up more towards the driver’s eyes, but not holding my breath.
No marketing or changes can save this car or the Regal. This type of car is just so out of favor with the majority of the market not much can be done.
This is really a damn good car but FWD sedans in this price range and size are dead.
The only way future for Buick is the CUV models and maybe some specialty models be it Electric or low volume sporting in nature.
Still have my 2012 LaCrosse, which I bought new. Was planning to trade on a 2018 model, but when I found the stop/start system did not have a deactivate switch, it killed the deal for me. For the first time in my life, I bought a non-GM vehicle. I cannot tell you how difficult that was for me to do, as I come from a family who once owned a Buick dealership. I am keeping my GMC Sierra, but will seriously consider another brand when I’m ready to trade, if they integrate the stop/start nonsense on the GMC pickups without the ability to disable it.
Something that needs a total overhaul is the color palette. Here’s a hint: Check out the selections available now on the Lincoln Continental and MKZ…MUCH better!
IMPALA -16.16% 16,290 19,431 -13.38% 43,952 50, LACROSSE -31.15% 2,290 3,326 -14.23% 13,409 15,63 The first set of numbers is third quarter sales for each vehicle. The impala offer more interior room, more trunk space, bigger fuel tank, considerable lower price and way more sales and yet the Lacross get an update and the Impala gets nothing. Hard to figure what GM’s thinking is. If you are not making us a ton of money then you are unworthy of upgrades or anything else. As far as the Impala vs the Lacross sales go why would want to pay more for less. In my opinion the Lacross should have been the one with more of all the thing I noted before.
There’s a lot more that goes into it than just that. Investment in sedans is going to be shrinking industry wide, as they don’t generate the profits that they used to. The current Impala is getting towards the end of its life, whether it gets replaced or not remains to be seen. GM seemed to indicate that the Impala (or some full size Chevy sedan) might live on recently, so I’m hopeful that they chose to invest limited funds in a replacement product rather than the current one. Additionally, the Lacrosse picks up a lot of sales from China where the Impala doesn’t. Whether the Lacrosse sells more than the Impala globally or not, I don’t know. The Lacrosse does command a higher transaction price, and sells less to fleets, so it might be just as valuable or more to GM’s bottom line. Also, while sedan sales are down industry wide, the Lacrosse came to a screeching halt with the latest redesign. Perhaps they are hoping some emergency band-aids will prop it up a little longer to make back some more of the investment in it, or solidify the choice to drop it in the future. Maybe they just need to keep it fresh for the Chinese market, and we get to benefit from that too.
Thank you but it still doesn’t explain why the Lacross is smaller in the areas I mentioned. Especially in interior and trunk space. I has a 3 in longer wheelbase but less front a and rear leg room.

Carmen Lidia Chavarría, Café Britt’s Master Cupper, has a dream job. As Master Cupper, her main responsibility is to test the flavor of Britt’s coffee. She’s been perfecting her tastebuds with us for 26 years.
She developed her love for coffee in Perez Zeledón, where she was born, and worked as an assistant in the milling process at a cooperative. After realizing her love of coffee, she reached out to the Federation of Cooperatives of Coffee and worked for them in Human Resources. In the afternoons, she would sneak into the laboratories to taste the coffee—the experience that eventually led her to Café Britt.
Since coming to Britt, Carmen spends her days sampling incoming batches of coffee and deciding what beans will work best in a particular blend. She helps us understand the ideal flavors for our coffees and often introduces us to exciting new combinations.
Sometimes she samples more than 100 coffees in one day, but most of the time tastes between three to ten. Her favorite coffee is Tarrazú from Costa Rica and Nariño from Colombia.

1994-11-08 Application filed by Zomed International, Inc. filed Critical Zomed International, Inc.
A method of this invention for treating body tissues containing cancerous cells or non-malignant tumors with RF ablation, alone or in combination with systemic or localized chemotherapy comprising introducing a stylet comprising an electrode surface and a sleeve longitudinally moveable thereon into the vicinity of the body tissues, retracting the sleeve from a portion of the electrode surface, and supplying RF power to the electrode surface sufficient to heat the tissue to a temperature of above about 45 °C for a time to cause reduction of tissue mass in the vicinity of the electrode. The RF power supplied to the electrode surface is sufficient to effect a desiccated fluid diffusion barrier capsule surrounding the body tissue being treated. The stylet can include a hollow tube having fluid distribution ports therein, and the method can include the step of passing fluid through one or more distribution ports into the body tissue being treated. The fluid can be saline or a chemotherapeutic fluid such as liquid or gas containing a cytotoxic agent, for example. The fluid can be administered in a variety of procedures. The fluid can be passed through a distribution port into the body tissue before, during and/or after the RF power is supplied to the electrode surface, for example. Preferably, the fluid is introduced after a barrier capsule has been formed. The devices comprises electrodes having a hollow core and a closed sharpened distal tip. The electrode has a plurality of fluid distribution ports therein for distribution of fluid treatment agents into the tissue.
MEDICAL PROBE DEVICE AND METHOD), the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention is directed to a novel device and method for treating body tissues which include neoplastic cells, such as cancerous tissue and non-malignant tumors, to reduce the mass thereof. The device penetrates normal tissue to reach the tissue including the neoplasm and delivers therapeutic ablative energy to the tissue and/or deliver thera- peutic substances to the tissue. It limits delivery of the therapeutic treatment to the precise location selected. This device is a cannula device for positioning a treatment assembly in the area or organ contain¬ ing the neoplasm with at least one stylet in the cannula, mounted for extension from the end of the cannula through surrounding tissue to the tissue targeted for medical treatment. This device is suitable for reduc¬ ing the mass of any type of tissue, and it is most particularly useful for treating tissue containing neoplastic cells.
Surgical treatment of cellular tissues usually requires direct contact of target tissue-with a medical in&trumant* usually exposingL,both the target and intervening tissue to substantial trauma. Often, precise placement of a treatment probe is difficult because of the location of a target tissue in the body or the proximity of the target tissue to obstruc¬ tions or easily damaged, critical body organs, nerves, or other compo¬ nents. High-frequency currents are used in electrocautery procedures for cutting human tissue, especially when a bloodless incision is desired or when the operating site is not accessible with a normal scalpel but presents an access for a thin instrument through natural body openings such as the esophagus, intestines or urethra. Examples include the removal of prostatic adenomas, bladder tumors or intestinal polyps. In such cases, the high-frequency current is fed by a surgical probe into the tissue to be cut. The resulting dissipated heat causes boiling and vapor¬ ization of the cell fluid at this point, whereupon the cell walls rupture and the tissue is separated. The frequency of the current for this use must be above ca. 300 kHz in order to avoid any adverse such as nerve and/or muscle responses.
Destruction of cellular tissues in situ has been used in the treat¬ ment of many diseases and medical conditions alone or as an adjunct to surgical removal procedures. It is often less traumatic than surgical procedures and may be the only alternative where other procedures are unsafe. Ablative treatment devices have the advantage of using a destructive energy which is rapidly dissipated and reduced to a non¬ destructive level by conduction and convection forces of circulating fluids and other natural body processes. Microwave, radiofrequency, acoustical (ultrasound) and light energy (laser) devices, and tissue destructive substances have been used to destroy malignant, benign and other types of cells and tissues from a wide- ariety of anatomic- sites and_αrgans. Tissues treated include isolated carcinoma masses and, more specifically, tissues in organs such as the prostate, glandular and stromal nodules characteristic of benign prostate hyperplasia. These devices typically include a catheter or cannula which is used to carry a radiofrequency electrode or microwave antenna through a duct to the zone of treatment and apply energy diffusely through the duct wall into the surrounding tissue in all direc¬ tions. Severe trauma is often sustained by the duct wall during this cellular destruction process, and some devices combine cooling systems with microwave antennas to reduce trauma to the ductal wall. For treating the prostate with these devices, for example, heat energy is delivered through the walls of the urethra into the surrounding prostate cells in an effort to kill the tissue constricting the urethra. Light energy, typically from a laser, is delivered to prostate tissue target sites by "burning through" the wall of the urethra. Healthy cells of the duct wall and healthy tissue between the nodules and duct wall are also indis- criminately destroyed in the process and can cause unnecessary loss of some prostate function. Furthermore, the added cooling function of some microwave devices complicates the apparatus and requires that the device be sufficiently large to accommodate this cooling system.
It is one object of this invention to provide a device and method for treating body tissues containing neoplastic tissue such as cancerous tissue and non-malignant tumors to reduce the mass thereof. It is another object of this invention to provide a device for com¬ bined therapeutic ablation and chemotherapy which forms an infusion barrier surrounding the tissue to be treated, the barrier substantially confining liquid treatment agents administered by the device to the zone within the capsule of the infusion barrier. It is a further object of this invention to provide a device for therapeutic ablation and chemotherapy which increases distribution of therapeutic agents through target tissue by use of the ablative heat, alternating with or concurrent with tissue ablation.
It is a still further object of this invention to stimulate reduction of neoplastic cells in an organ or body tissue containing one or more neoplastic sites by applying therapeutic ablative energy to a portion of the organ or body tissue, alone or in combination with the application of chemotherapy.
In summary, the method of this invention for treating body tissues containing cancerous cells or non-malignant tumors comprises a) introducing a stylet comprising an electrode surface and a sleeve longitudinally moveable thereon into the vicinity of the body tissues, b) retracting the sleeve from a portion of the electrode surface, and c) supplying RF power to the electrode surface sufficient to heat the tissue to a temperature of above about 45 °C for a time to cause reduction of tissue mass. in the vicinity of the electrode. In one embodiment of the method, the RF power supplied to the elec¬ trode surface is sufficient to form a desiccated fluid diffusion barrier capsule surrounding the body tissue being treated.
Preferably, the stylet includes a hollow tube having fluid distribu- tion ports therein, the tube comprising a fluid supply means. The meth¬ od includes the step of passing fluid through distribution ports into the body tissue being treated. The fluid can be saline or a chemotherapeutic fluid such as liquid containing a cytotoxic agent or a cytotoxic gas, for example. The fluid can be administered in a variety of procedures. The fluid can be passed through the distribution ports into the body tissue before, during and/or after the RF power is supplied to the electrode surface, for example. Preferably, fluid is introduced after a barrier capsule has been formed. In summary, a medical ablation device of this invention for treating tissues containing cancerous cells and for treating non-malignant tumors comprises a tubular RF electrode for reducing mass of the tissues by ablative treatment. The electrode can have a hollow core and a closed, sharpened distal tip, the electrode being enclosed in an insulating sleeve which is optionally longitudinally moveable thereon. The electrode can have a plurality of fluid distribution ports therein for distribution of fluid treatment agents into the tissue. Optionally, the device can include a tube within the electrode and axially concentric therewith, the tube being axially moveable in the electrode to block or close selected fluid distri- bution ports and prevent fluid passage therethrough.
One embodiment of this invention is a medical ablation device with an electrode, the electrode comprising a support tube. The outer surface of the support tube carv support a plurality, αf conductive, and electrically isolated sleeve segments adjacent to one another, each conductive sleeve segment being connected to a source of RF power. Each sleeve segment can be separated from and insulated from an adjacent sleeve segment1 4 by an annular insulator, the space between each annular insulator and an adjacent sleeve comprising a gas distribution outlet. The support can have fluid distribution ports, each fluid distribution port being positioned under an annular insulator, whereby fluid passing through each fluid distribution port passes outward through a gas distri¬ bution outlet. Optionally, the device can include an outer sleeve means extending over the conductive sleeves and annular insulators, the outer sleeve being longitudinally moveable thereon for blocking selected gas distribution outlets.

The medical ablation devices of this invention are uniquely superi- or for localized therapeutic ablation to remove or reduce undesired tissue masses from remote locations in the body. With a suitably shaped rigid or flexible delivery tubes, the devices can be used with conventional delivery systems including scopes such laparoscopes, cystoscopes, and the like. With delivery tubes such a needles, the device with a memory shaped electrode can be used to ablated undesired tissue in orthopedic, neurological, gynecological and for less invasive surgical applications such as near zero surgical ablation of spinal discs to alleviate encroach¬ ment and pressure from herniated disks on adjacent nerves in the spinal column. Referring to the drawings, Fig. 1 is a planar view of a stylet ablation device of this invention. The device comprises a handle portion 2 and a delivery tube portion 4. Stylet sleeve control manual tab 6 and stylet electrode control manual tab 8 are mounted for sliding engagement in slots 10 and 12 in the handle top plate 14 (Fig. 2). Index markings 16 indicate the relative angle of orientation of the stylet with respect to the stylet angle indicator 18. Angle indicator 18 can be a bubble in a curved transparent tube, a weighted pivot dial indicator or an electronic angle indicator. The position of the distal edges 20 and 22 of the tab slides 6 and 8 with their respective gauge reference strips 24 and 26 indepen- dently indicate the relative advancement and retraction of the stylet electrode and sleeve shown in Figs. 2-4. Connectors for the fiber optic connector 23, RF power connector 25, and ohmic resistance detector 27 extend from the proximal end of the handle housing.
Fig. 2 is a top view of the handle top plate of the stylet ablation device shown in Fig. 2. Slots 1 0 and 1 2 receive the respective tabs 6 and 8 for sliding engagement therein. Slot 28 receives the stylet angle indicator.
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary cross-sectional view of the manual control portion of the handle of the stylet ablation device shown in Fig. 1 , taken along the line A-A. Manual electrode tab 6 is attached to an electrode connector 30 which is connected to the proximal end of the stylet electrode 32. Manual sleeve tab 8 (Fig. 1 ) is connected to a sleeve connector 34 which is connected to the proximal end of the sleeve 36. The electrode 32 is preferably made of a flexible, shape memory metal such as nickel-titanium alloy or tempered steel. The sleeve is made of a highly conformable insulating plastic material such as polyimide.
Simultaneous forward and rearward movement of the control tabs 6 and 8 effect simultaneous advancement and retraction of the treatment stylet. Individual movement of the control tabs 6 and 8 provide individu¬ al advancing and retracting movement of the respective sleeve and electrode. Indexing strips 24 and 26 provide reference points for con¬ trolled positioning of the sleeve control tabs 6 and 8, permitting precise, independent positioning of the stylet elements for controlled ablation of remote body portions as is explained in greater detail hereinafter.
Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the tip of the stylet ablation device such as that shown in Fig. 1 with the stylet retracted into the tip for initial insertion to a position accessible with a straight needle^ The - electrode tip 38 is positioned behind the leading sharpened tip 40 of the needle or tube 42. The insulating sleeve tip 44 is positioned just behind the leading edge of the electrode tip 38.
When the electrode 32 is a hollow tube, it can be a conduit for aspiration during treatment, liquid deliver, or in the embodiment shown, a housing for a fiber optic 46. The polished fiber optic tip 48 is then positioned behind the electrode tip 38 to facilitate viewing of the tissue surrounding the electrode tip during insertion.
Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the tip of the stylet ablation device shown in Fig. 4 with the electrode and sleeve extended. This embodiment shows a flexible stylet 50 having a predetermined curved configuration. The flexible stylet can also be straight, if the remote position can be reached by a straight path from the point of entry with¬ out damaging a vital body component. The electrode can be made of a shape memory alloy, shaped to the revert to a desired configuration when released from the tubing. The configuration can be simple curves, a combination of straight portions and curves, curves with differing radii, in two or three dimensions, selected to direct the electrode and its surrounding flexible, highly conformable sleeve in a preselected two or three dimensional path through tissue to a site to be ablated. Methods for shaping shape memory alloys are well known in the art and are not a part of this invention. In general, the alloys are an¬ nealed with heat and then set in the desired memory shape by quick cooling the annealed electrode while maintaining it in the non-linear shape ultimately desired. The sleeve 36 is initially in the dotted line position 52. Following insertion into the body to the specific site to be ablated, the sleeve 36 is withdrawn from a selected portion of the electrode 32 to the solid line position to expose the specif ic electrode area required to form a lesion of the desired size. A method of this invention for medical ablation of difficult to access tissues comprising first inserting a hollow needle through a tissue layer, the needle enclosing a conductive electrode of highly flexible memory metal having a predetermined curved memory configuration and a sharpened distal terminus, the electrode tube being enclosed within an insulating sleeve axially moveable thereon and bendable therewith. Then the electrode and sleeve are advanced from the terminal end of the hollow needle, whereby the portion of the electrode and sleeve advanced beyond the end of the needle adopt the predetermined curved memory configuration and the electrode and sleeve follow a correspondingly predetermined curved path through tissue to the site to be ablated Then a portion of the sleeve is withdrawn from the terminus of the electrode to expose a predetermined electrode area for ablation. Finally, RF energy is applied to the tissue surrounding the exposed electrode area to effect ablation thereof.
The stylet 60 is advanced to the tissue to be ablated, and the sleeve 70 is withdrawn, exposing a controlled length of electrode and selected number of fluid distribution ports. RF energy is applied, raising the temperature in the lesion site to a temperature of above 45 ° . For creating an infusion barrier capsule 74, the temperature can be from about 45 °C to 1 70 °C and is preferably from about 80°C to 1 20°C. The desiccation boundary 74 acts as a barrier to fluid flow, forming a capsule and restraining escape of fluid introduced through the ports. In one embodiment of the method of this invention, the infusion boundary is created before fluid is introduced, to restrain its escape from beyond the ablation zone. In another embodiment, the fluid introduction precedes or is concurrent with the application of RF energy, whereby the heating facilitates and increases the penetration of the tissue by the chemotherapeutic fluid. It will be readily apparent to a person skilled in the art that other variations and sequences, and repetitions thereof, can be applied within the scope of this invention to control the zone of treatment and fluid delivery according to the physician's desired objec- tive.
Figs. 8a, 8b and 8c are schematic views of tissue undergoing capsular ablation according to this invention, demonstrating sleeve adjustments of the device of Fig. 7 to effect a desired ablation lesion geometry. Fig. 8a shows an initial lesion formed with a short portion of electrode 62 extending beyond the insulating sleeve 70. In Fig. 8b, the sleeve 70 has been retracted to expose a longer portion of electrode 62, producing a lesion with a larger radius, pronounced in the portion which beyond the infusion barrier formed in the ablation of Fig. 8a. In Fig. 8c, the sleeve 70 has been retracted to expose a still longer portion of electrode 62, producing a lesion with a still larger radius, pronounced in the portion which beyond the infusion barriers formed in the ablations of Figs. 8a and 8b. The ultimate lesion barrier has an approximately, overall conical configuration.
Figs. 9a, 9b, 9c and 9d are schematic views of tissue undergoing capsular ablation according to this invention, demonstrating stylet position adjustment of the device of Fig. 7 to effect a desired ablation lesion geometry. Fig. 9a shows an initial ablation lesion formed with the stylet extending to a maximally distal position and with a small portion of the electrode 62 extended beyond the insulating sleeve 70. Figs. 9b, 9c and 9c show successive positions and overlapping lesions formed by incrementally retracting the stylet in the proximal position, performing an ablation at each incremental position to provide an ultimate lesion barrier having an approximately, overall cylindrical configuration. It will be readily apparent to a person skilled in the art that other sequences, including combinations of sequences illustrated in Figs. 8a, 8b and 8c, and in Figs. 9a, 9b and 9c can be devices without departing from the spirit and scope of this invention, and all of these combinations and variations are considered to be within the scope of this invention.
88 pass between the conductive sleeves segments 90 and the insulating rings 94 to pass outward into the surrounding tissue as shown by the arrows extending outwardly from the spaces between the sleeve seg¬ ments 90 and rings 94. Fig. 1 1 is a schematic view of tissue undergoing capsular ablation according to this invention, demonstrating a monopolar ablation with a plurality of electrodes with the embodiment shown in Fig. 10 to provide an approximately cylindrical ablation barrier capsule. In this embodiment, the power leads are delivering power to each conductive sleeve 90, causing current to pass outwardly from each sleeve through the sur¬ rounding tissue. This forms a roughly spherical, overlapping ablation barrier 96 around each conductive sleeve, producing a roughly cylindrical ablation barrier capsule within which the optional treatment fluids are re- strained or contained.
Fig. 1 2 is a schematic view of tissue undergoing capsular ablation according to this invention, demonstrating extended monopolar mode applications with the embodiment shown in Fig. 10 to effect an encapsu¬ lated combined ablation and chemotherapy lesion. In this representation, the power applied has been pulsed to effect a cause a larger overall ablation geometry, the individual ablation patterns having merged into a single elongated, larger envelope 98 for the treatment fluids.
Fig. 1 3 is a schematic view of tissue undergoing capsular ablation according to this invention, demonstrating selection of bipolar modes with the embodiment shown in Fig. 10 to effect a desired ablation lesion geometry. The conductive sleeves 90 are connected to the power supply to effect current flow from each conductive sleeve to the conduc¬ tive sleeves immediately adjacent thereto. This forms a spherical abla¬ tion diffusion barrier around each conductive path, overlapping with an adjacent sphere, and providing a roughly cylindrical ablation geometry and cylindrical infusion barrier capsule 100.
The device and method of this invention provides the physician with a flexible variety of ablation procedures, optionally combining application of ablation energy to elevate tissue temperature with the treatment zone to above 45°C to cause death of cells therein, combined with fluid applications. Application of saline fluid can reduce desiccation of tissue adjacent the electrode surfaces.
Application of chemotherapeutic substances^ haf ore application of the ablation energy can exploit the effects of the heating the tissue and the fluid to increase distribution of the fluid in the adjacent tissues. Application of chemotherapeutic substances after ablation forming an encapsulated lesion can reduce distribution of the chemotherapeutic agent to tissue beyond the ablation capsule, concentrating its activity to the tissues within the capsule and reducing and almost eliminating the systemic effects of the treatment. These alternatives and combinations thereof provide to a physician treating tissue containing neoplastic cells a wide range of alternatives. A treatment regimen can be devices combin¬ ing any of these alternatives or all of them to increase the effectiveness of the treatment.
The ablation treatment according to this invention can be used in combination with systemic or localized chemotherapy.

RF Ablation Treatment of MXT Tumors MXT tumors were implanted in 100 mice. MXT tumors were treated by RF ablation 1 7 days post-implantation and 30 days post- implantation. The MXT tumors show naturally intensive centro-acinar necrosis.. The RF ablation power of 5, 6, and 9 watts was applied for 3, 5 and 7 minutes, and the most effective treatment was found to be with about 5.75 watts for 5 minutes.
The control group of mice was sacrificed at the same intervals as the treated group. The histological analysis follows: 1 . Analysis of specimens at 0 hour post-treatment: No visible le¬ sions.
2. Analysis of specimens at 24 hours post-treatment: no lesion.
Macroscooicallv: Intensive and extensive necrosis. A sole periph¬ eral crescent of viable tumor can be seen. It depends upon the ablation electrode deployment. The 1 .5 and 3 cm tu¬ mors are equally affected as the electrode deployment is viable along the tumor size.
Comparative Treatment of MXT Tumors with RF Ablation and/or Chemotherapy This example shows a comparison of RF ablation, chemotherapy and a combination of RF ablation and chemotherapy in tumor area progression.
3. Mice treated with 9 intraperitoneal chemotherapy injections of Etoposid, Cyclophosphamid and Adriablastine from day 17 post- implantation - 15 mice. 4. Mice treated at day 17 with RF ablation and with 9 intraperitoneal chemotherapy injection form day 17 post-implantation with Etoposid, Cyclophosphamid and Adriablastine.
The tumor reductions differences shown were statistically significant between evolution of control tumors and all other groups.
The most effective group was the association of chemotherapy and RF ablation with the device of this invention. The difference be¬ tween RF ablation and chemotherapy was non-statistically concluant. The statistical difference between the RF ablation, alone, and the combi- nation of chemotherapy and RF ablation favors the combination treat¬ ment.
1) RF ablation with the device of this invention is effective in de- creasing tumor progression.
SϋBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) ablation treatments on each side of the tumor is expected to improve the tumor reduction. 3) The RF ablation with the device of this invention enhances the chemotherapy treatment, and the combination of the chemothera- py and RF ablation produces a dramatic decrease in tumor size and a destruction of living tumor cells.
To those skilled in the art to which this invention relates, many changes in construction and widely differing embodiments and applica¬ tions of the invention will make themselves know without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The disclosure and the description herein are purely illustrative and are not intended to be in any sense limiting.

Manchester United took no prisoners in their Champions League clash with CSKA Moscow on Wednesday.
The Russian club's struggles in Europe are epitomised by the fact club legend Igor Akinfeev went no less than 11-years with a clean sheet on the continent and United certainly didn't grant him another.
Romelu Lukaku grabbed a brace at the VEB Arena to make it ten goals in just nine games for the Red Devils, while Anthony Martial and Henrikh Mkhitaryan also found the net in a 4-1 victory.
Furthermore, Jose Mourinho believes the win has moved them within striking distance of the knockout stages despite being just two fixtures deep into Group A.
The Special One delighted: "We are almost there. There was not so much PlayStation football tonight, just a little bit of relaxation. That is normal," per the Independent.
It certainly consigned memories of United's last trip to CSKA to history with the Red Devils limping to a 1-1 draw under the command of Louis van Gaal in 2015.
However, Mourinho didn't emerge from the gruelling European trip completely unscathed.
Fans on Twitter noticed something about the 54-year-old's outfit on the touchline and weren't prepared to let him get away with it.
The Portuguese isn't exactly the biggest fan of reverting to the club tracksuit and often opts for one of his own coats in the winter. He doesn't take it as far as Pep Guardiola, though, who has been known to rock jeans and chinos on the touchline.
Mourinho, however, cut an uncanny resemblance to Darth Vader. Yes, you did read that right.
In an effort to batter the Russian cold, Mourinho sported a fleece with a zipped leather segment that rose up to his cover neck.
There's probably a terrible Star Wars pun in there somewhere but the bizarre jumper gave Mourinho nothing but good luck on what will likely prove his furthest flung away day this year.
If United can transfer their electric start to the season into clashes with fellow title contenders, then silverware could arrive in abundance in 2017-18.
There's just something about Mourinho and second seasons, isn't there?
Do you think Manchester United should be considered title favourites this season? Have your say in the comments section below.

What is Disc Syndrome? - Sterling Heights Chiropractor - Kirk E. Hilborn, D.C.
Homepage > What is Disc Syndrome? > Blog > What is Disc Syndrome?
In the human body, the spinal cord, also known as the vertebral column or simply the backbone, has a total of 33 vertebrae that are separated by discs that are spongy in nature. The spinal cord is divided into 4 major sections which are the cervical spine that includes the first 7 discs that are found in the neck region. The next 12 vertebrae located on the chest region form the other section; the thoracic spine.
The next section is the lumbar spine that has a total of 5 vertebrae that are located in the lower region of the vertebral column. The sacral spine is the last section that contains the last 5 discs and it is located just below the waist to the tailbone. Most of the back problems that people experience are located in the lumbar section especially between the first two discs in this section.
This could result in the formation of weak bones or weakening of the already formed bones in the body. When these bones and muscles are weak, they are not able to offer the required support for the vertebral column leading to the condition.
This could lead to the change in the position of the discs in the vertebral column leading to disc syndrome.
When a person is involved in a car accident, or in a serious fall, the arrangement of the discs could be altered leading t the occurrence of the disease.
•Frequent spasms in the muscles located in the back.
•Continuous and intermittent pain in the back. The pain can be made worse when there is a movement like when walking, laughing, sneezing or standing and bending.
•Weakness of the muscles in the legs.
•Feeling numb in the feet and legs.
Since these symptoms are very common and occur for many other diseases of the joints and bones, it is important to ensure that you consult your doctor when you begin to experience the symptoms.
The primary diagnosis is done by looking into the history of the patient and the current health condition of the patient. Additional techniques that can be used to diagnose the disease include MRIs, X-rays, myelograms, CT scans, and electromyography. The choice of the technique to use to diagnose the disease is determined by the doctor after considering the specific information about the patient to determine the best approach to use.
•Administration of medicines to give relief to pain.
•Physical therapy that includes massages ultrasounds and conditioning sessions.
•Use of the lumbosacral back support.
•Subtle exercises and weight management.
When these activities do not work, the patient may have to undergo surgery to correct the problem, after which they will have to rest and refrain from doing any strenuous activities until they are completely healed.
Even though lumbar disc syndrome occurs mostly in people with advanced age, there are cases of young people with the condition. It is easy and possible to prevent the occurrence of the disease. Some of the things you can do to ensure that you reduce the risk of getting the disease include engaging in regular workout and exercise activities, maintaining good posture when walking and sitting and maintaining a healthy weight. If you have any of these issues or just lower back pain call Sterling Heights Chiropractic Now!

Kobe, June 20 (Jiji Press)—The number of white storks, a government-designated special natural treasure, released into the wild in Japan has reached 100, 12 years after such efforts began.
The Hyōgo Park of the Oriental White Stork in the western Japan city of Toyooka, Hyōgo Prefecture, said Monday it has confirmed that one white stork newly made its departure from its nest in the city.
White storks, which folklore says brings babies to couples, have been confirmed in the wild in 46 prefectures in Japan so far, or all except Akita.
"We hope that white storks, which are said to bring happiness, will spread across Japan and deliver happiness to many people," park Director Yamagishi Satoshi said.
Feral white storks became extinct in Japan in 1971, following a drop in their population due mainly to postwar overhunting.

When a woman misses her menstrual period, it could be a sign that she's pregnant. However, a missed or delayed period is not a reliable indication of pregnancy. That's why women resort to other means of detecting and verifying the signs of pregnancy. Some will employ pregnancy tests while others visit the gynecologist.
Pregnancy tests date way back to the time of ancient Greece and Rome. Women would use wheat and barley to identify signs of pregnancy. Moreover, ancient Greek physician Hippocrates told women to take in honey and water during bedtime. If they developed cramps, they are likely pregnant.
In the 1970s, new methods of detecting pregnancy evolved. By the end of the 20th century, home pregnancy kits were available. Now they are continually used to detect early signs of pregnancy.
Early pregnancy tests require either urine or blood samples. Both tests rest on the same premise: to detect the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) a hormone secreted by the placenta soon after the egg is fertilized and attaches to the uterus. Pregnancy tests that require blood samples are typically conducted by a doctor only, while pregnancy kits that only require urine can be done at home.
Home pregnancy kits are the widely used type since they're easy to operate, even though pregnancy tests that require blood samples are more accurate because they're more sensitive than home pregnancy kits. Nevertheless, home pregnancy tests have an impressive 96 percent accuracy, give immediate results, are readily available and are very affordable.

Hamilton present a new unconventional piece - the Hamilton Time Player. It's always refreshing to take a look at something a bit quirky and avant-garde and the latest piece by Hamilton certainly falls into this category. Taking influences from the lines of longitude and latitude the piece forms a large nine square composition a bit like a tic-tac-toe grid. Eight of the nine squares have movable counters, four of which have time displays with the other four having the corresponding name of the location of each of these timezones printed on them. Each of the locations Dubai, New York and Tokyo are printed in colours which match that of their time displays which avoids confusion and enlivens the huge dial. The time of the wearer's current location is displayed with the Hamilton logo alongside.
To set the time in a timezone, move the dial which corresponds to that location to the square in the centre and adjust using the crown. You may remember those sliding picture puzzles from your childhood, well this piece is the perfect antidote to any bad memories of those cheaply made objects of frustration - all of the counters can be moved and jumbled up at will, possibly the ultimate stress-buster?
The Hamilton Time Player is constructed from titanium and comes presented on a black rubber strap. The watchcase measures a massive 48mm by 42mm so don't wear it with your best shirt - this is sure to be a cuff-shredder.

We are installing analog cameras but as the owner wants to "future proof" the cable when he changes his mind into IP camera so we use CAT6 cables and adding passive video baluns to incorporate the analog cameras.
1. Will the analog signal from the camera clear and strong enough using CAT6 and length of cable is around 120 meters, using passive video baluns at both camera and DVR ends?
2. When using CAT5 cable + passive video balun (cable length about 50 meters), I found the video signal is too weak so I had to combined 4 wires (solid ones together for the + of video) then it works.
Under this exact same cable when adding 12 volts power into the CAT5 the video signal is gone. What's going on that I did wrong?
3. Can the DC power also put into the CAT6 while the video will be transmitted along within the same CAT6 cable?
1. Depends on the balun, good ones (e.g Muxlab) specify the exact distance limits. For 120m you will probably need active baluns. The only way to do this is to read the specs of your baluns and also to do a test on your own to make sure it works.
2. Not sure I understand this correct? Did you use the other 4 cores for power?
3. Yes some baluns support both video and power but you can probably do this also with video only baluns if you know the cores being used.
P.S. For 120m it might be better to go with 24V AC power, check the consumption on your cameras, are they IR ones? You have to do the calculations about the volatage drop - if you will pass the power through the balun, again read the specs and test.
1. We are in SE Asia and importing stuff from the USA is more expensive and time consuming, do you have other reference nearer to us other than muxlab?
2. Originally I used only one pair to transmit video, but that failed for 50 meters. This was tested using very short cable to make sure the passive balun actually worked. Then adding on by combining 2 pair still not clear video picture, 3 pairs also similarly not clear but getting better, so we finally use all 4 pair just for video transmitting by CAT5 cable.
When adding the power was actually done with just 2 pair for 50 meters, so we used total of 4 smaller cables to transmit video while using one pair for DC power within the same cable then pooff the video is gone! We can detect the voltage at 50 meter end of the camera still measuring 12 volts more or less not a significant drop but the video is gone.
3. Could you elaborate more about knowing which cores being used? were you referring to the tightly twisted blue & blue/white for video and other colors for DC power?
We are planning to test for voltage drop and if the camera can still work with such voltage later on this week/early next week. We also been considering the 24V AC, that will be an entirely different system, will still be able to use CAT6 cable for video AND 24V AC power without interference?
1. You do NOT need active baluns for a mere 120m. Even cheap passives should be good to 200-300m. Either way, beyond 100m, you're pushing the limits for ethernet, so if you want to upgrade those cameras to IP later, you *may* need some sort of extenders or twisted-pair adapters (or maybe not, I have heard of ethernet working at that range, although it's beyond spec).
2. If you lost signal after 50m, there's something else wrong. FIRST AND FOREMOST, you want to use ONE PAIR for video, period. Mixing-and-matching pairs will result in a loss of each pair's noise-rejection properties, and you'll end up being much more susceptible to interference. It sounds like you may have used some sort of cheap UTP-to-BNC adapters that are flooding eBay lately, masquerading as baluns, although they aren't. Big names like MuxLab and NVT are fine, but stupid expensive; a balun is a pretty simple device and I've had just as much success with low-cost units... just make sure they ARE actually baluns.
As far as power goes, yes you can use the remaining pairs, but how far you can go will depend on the voltage used (12VDC vs. 24VAC), and the current draw of the camera. On one site, I have two CNB domes running 200' on a single Cat5e - one pair for video, one pair for power for each camera. They draw only 2.2W, or 180mA at 12VDC, and will operate any anything between about 10-30V, so the minimal voltage drop still leaves sufficient power for the camera. Critical to this is the fact that they don't have heaters or IR - IR will typically add 500mA or more to a camera's current requirements.
With Cat5e, three 24ga. pairs together is about equivalent to one pair of 18ga., as far as current capacity and voltage loss... with Cat6 it should be a little closer to 16ga. If the camera will run on 24VAC, you should have no problem powering it at 120m.
I've always found this calculator particularly helpful.
3. It shouldn't matter which pair is used for video. I've typically used the blue pair, chosen mainly as the center pair of an RJ45 connector, so I could even use a basic two-wire phone cord to extend it if need be. However, we've recently been using these power/balun units with much success, and they put the video on pair 1 (pins 1 and 2 - orange if you wire T-568B). At the camera end, we'll either use these all-in-one baluns, or if something small is needed (such as to fit inside a dome housing), we'll use something like this on the video pair, and just wire the power pair in directly.
Remember that there's nothing special or magical about a power-and-video balun - internally, two pins of the RJ45 jack go into the balun, and the others wire straight through to the power connectors. Same applies to the VPS units above.
In addition to the balun function, each group of four video pairs goes to another RJ45 jack, so you can take those four cameras and run them to another location over a single UTP cable, then split them out there with another VPS, or with a simple multi-channel balun unit.
In the case of that last item, I did exactly that on a recent job: one 16-channel VPS in a remote wiring closet; four Cat5e linking patchbays there and in the main IT closet; another set of patchbays linking the wall rack with the rolling rack containing the DVRs; and a the 16-channel passive balun in the back of the rolling rack. So each camera has a Cat5e run that patches into a channel of the VPS, each group of four is then fed from the VPS, through the patches, down to the passive balun, and the "tails" from the DVR connectors then hook straight into the BNC outputs on the balun using these, and a couple of these where I need to split off an analog signal. It's working GREAT, and a benefit of terminating everything in a patchbay means that switching an analog camera to IP means simply unplugging the camera, moving the patch from the VPS to a PoE switch, and plugging in the new camera (which I've already done once on this site).
Re: 24VAC power: there is no problem using it with baluns. The voltage and current are low enough so as not to generate significant interference in the first place, and the unique twisted pairs used in Cat5/6 means each pair has its own noise-rejection properties anyway. If distance and power requirements call for it, have no fear in using it.
Oh, one other quick thing on distance: I did some testing of various passive baluns a while back, using a range of models carried by our local ADI, from some that were $5/pair to some NVTs that were $40 *each*, and found little or no difference in the image quality of each. The camera was powered directly, but the signal itself went through a nearly-full box of Cat5e... probably about 800' left of a 1000' box.
Matt thanks for the great details, I noticed from your descriptions that I might be dealing with some bad video balun as I obtained them locally here and most probably made in China from some unknown manufacturer, this is the case with the analog industry here where the really product that works usuallly cannot be bough locally because too expensive for the local users' pocket.... talking about low-end users here!
Also good suggestions for the less clutter arrangement, that preps us for the other installation.
We are gonna have another go at it based on your suggestions.
Heng, these are the types of units I'm referring to. It's the first hit that came up when I searched "cctv balun" on eBay. You'll notice the title just calls them connectors, but further down they're described as "balun connectors".
I've seen these pop up on other forums, people having all sorts of problems with them, because THEY ARE NOT BALUNS. If these are what you're using, that's your problem right there.
One other thing I've run into, were cheap baluns (real baluns) that do actually work, but the polarity is labelled wrong, so when connected as marked, they show a broken or scrambled picture, or don't work at all. If you have real baluns but don't get a clear picture, try reversing the wires on one of them.

A new A$3.2 million facility in Bendigo is providing hi-tech solutions to local businesses, combining state of the art technology with simple, high quality design.
The Bendigo Business Continuity Centre is the first building in the new Central Victoria Innovation Park. Operated by Bendigo Community Telco, the new world class computer centre is the information technology hub of Central Victoria.
One of the very few continuity facilities built outside of a capital city, the Business Continuity Centre provides a secure, high availability site housing large scale computer equipment. It offers business continuity, disaster recovery, and managed storage solutions for organizations and individuals looking to store their data offsite securely and cost effectively.
"It's a data centre primarily used for various regional businesses to back up and recover data," explains Manager, Peter Kellett.
"Increasingly, businesses have to comply with regulations that require them to have adequate business continuity plans basically, a way of ensuring that their most valuable asset information can be retrieved, should anything happen to it through incidents such as fire or major power loss."
"A requirement of most business continuity plans is that a business' information is stored in another site which is what we are providing. We also supply them with an alternative processing facility in time of need, and provide 'home from home' office facilities for key employees. This is the best data centre in regional Victoria," adds Peter.
While the Bendigo Business Continuity Centre is intended for small to medium businesses, it's Bendigo's largest organizations that have been the first to utilize the facility. "Our customers include a regional bank, a hospital group, a council, and education authorities basically, the six or seven largest organizations in the regions," says Peter.
The 1,000 square metre centre covers a single story, consisting of two parts office accommodation, and a concrete bunker which is used to house the data essentially, a secure room, protected by major structural, and fire protection systems. "It's a matter of pride that the architect, the builder, the electrical contractor, the security provider the people who built this Centre are all Bendigo locals," says Peter.
The complex combines simple, clean lines, with strong materials and a modern feel. Architect Robert Toon from Toon Architects Group explains: "Simplicity, along with high quality design was a key factor from the onset. A very tight budget and completion timeframe within a booming construction environment meant the approach needed to be relatively conventional and uncomplicated."
According to Robert, it was important that the new building integrated with its residential and retail surrounds, while providing aesthetic guidance for future buildings in the Innovation Park. "It's the first building in the Park, so it had to set the benchmark for future park development. It had to possess a high tech feel, yet also be discreet and blend into its surroundings. It was an interesting contrast to blend with the environment yet also reflect the tenants' central purpose."
Featuring glazed tiled walls, corrugated steel, and zinc cladding, the Centre sits comfortably in its surroundings. A major feature of the building is its curved roof and ribs, which were designed to coincide with module grid points on the building's floor plan. "The curved roofs accentuate and define the shape of the building. The curves also give the structure a soft look and fit in with the residential surrounds," says Robert.
600 square metres of LYSAGHT CUSTOM ORB® in ZINCALUME® steel was used for the Centre's roof. One of BlueScope Lysaght's premier products, LYSAGHT CUSTOM ORB® is the original corrugated roofing profile.
"We selected LYSAGHT CUSTOM ORB® for a domestic residential feel. The durability of steel, and the fewer joints needed provided water tightness, which is very important for a building such as this. Steel is also fire resistant, and allowed us to achieve the curved shapes," Robert explains.
Robert acknowledges that the technical support received from BlueScope Lysaght was instrumental in achieving the desired result.
"The curved roof design was done in consultation with BlueScope Lysaght, particularly with regard to the grid spacing, tie down, and purlin spacing," says Robert. "We had a great deal of technical support from BlueScope Lysaght, they were terrific in giving feedback and making sure we didn't do it without the appropriate background knowledge. The curve was established with their input."
The use of ZINCALUME® steel gives a clean, neutral appearance to the building's roof.
"The ZINCALUME® steel finish appears to shimmer and glisten when sun catches it," says Robert. "It's also quite neutral in appearance, contrasting with the different materials and textures used for the building's walls achieving simple, clean lines above the hi-tech detailing of the building's theme."
All roofing material for the project was supplied and installed by Ray Wild Plumbing, which was also responsible for all the general plumbing water service, sewer, stormwater, and fire. "The roof was done in two stages firstly the flat roof in LYSAGHT KLIP-LOK® and then the curved roofs in LYSAGHT CUSTOM ORB®", says Peter Fitzpatrick of Ray Wild.
"We used 600 square metres of CUSTOM ORB® for the roof, because it allowed us to achieve the curved shape," he adds. "We also used 380 square metres of LYSAGHT KLIP-LOK 700 HI-STRENGTH®, it's a really user friendly product to use, easy to install and quick. I suggested the use of LYSAGHT KLIP-LOK® at tender time and the client was happy with that. We use LYSAGHT® products quite a lot, they are one of our major roofing suppliers. LYSAGHT® is a better product at the end of day, on this project they provided us with what we needed."

From September 7 to January 27, 2018, Galerie m Bochum will host a larger selection of photographs from all eight series by US photographer Lucinda Devlin (b. 1947 in Ann Arbor, MI). For the first time in Germany the show will feature the complete spectrum of her work from the Pleasure Grounds (1977-1990) to the Lake Pictures (2010-2015). This year the artist’s first museum retrospective Lucinda Devlin: Sightlines took place in the USA at the Weatherspoon Art Museum in Greensboro and the George Eastman Museum in Rochester (till December 2017).
Lucinda Devlin's photographs serve as social commentaries on timely and socially relevant issues such as personal rights, the death penalty, and agribusiness. An internationally recognized American photographer, Devlin began her career in the 1970s during the genesis of color photography in America. At the time, she took up not only color photography, but also the artistic approach that she continues to this day, one that emphasizes an objective or neutral point of view.
Devlin also discovered her preferred subject matter: psychologically charged spaces absent of any human figures yet nonetheless signaling contemporary public and private life. Her earliest series, Pleasure Ground, featured droll images of thematic hotel rooms. Subsequent series (Habitats, Subterranea, Corporal Arenas, Field Culture, and Lake Pictures) have continued to probe the meaning of place at such sites as zoos and amusement parks, tanning salons and health spas, hospitals and funeral homes, agricultural facilities and open fields, and lastly, Lake Huron's shoreline. Her most provocative and best known series, The Omega Suites (so named after the final letter of the Greek alphabet), proffered emotive images of sterile execution chambers and the apparatuses associated with them.

Jodtjif Nansen said and I quote “Nothing great and good can be furthered without international cooperation” and might I add through friendship and with respect.
Let me extend my country’s and my own heartfelt gratitude to the movers of the Nansen Initiative, Norway and Switzerland and to the other members of the Initiative Steering Group and the European Union for their contributions to this important initiative. I wish also to thank the organisers of these consultations, Nansen Initiative Secretariat staff and of course the Forum and SPREP for the excellent coordination to this event. Kiribati attaches the highest importance to this consultation and follow up activities and I wish to convey President Tong’s support and apologies for being unable to attend due to a prior engagement and on whose behalf, I present this statement.
Kiribati has decided on a Climate Change and Climate Change Adaptation framework as a response to adapt to the slow onset of climate change and sea level rise, the framework that has the consensus and mandate of the people.
The Framework outlines that (with the exception of Tuvalu and the Republic of the Marshall Islands), Kiribati will always be different when compared with other countries in the region, the difference of having no land to retreat to. That is, if the catastrophe is inevitable, we need to prepare ourselves and our people for eventual migration. Kiribati has also embarked on radical changes to improve course offerings for training and up‐skilling in the technical and vocational skills areas to prepare our population in the event that if they wish to migrate, they do so with dignity.
These include, the improvements of the technical and vocational programs accredited to International standards to prepare our young people for competition in the global labor market such as the; TVET up‐skilling and training (Australian standards) and infrastructure expansion; Maritime Training for Merchant and Fishing seafarers (STCW 95 approved); Nursing Training (require alignment with international standards); Kiribati Teachers’ College and the Police Service. Movement of People within Boarders and Regionally Within our national boarder, social obligation has seen families providing refuge in their homes and on their lands, providing family members to relocate to, due to massive coastal erosions. A number of villages, public buildings 3 3 and schools have been relocated due to extreme spring tides and severe coastal erosions.
The alarming rate of coastal erosion that has been reported for the past two years has given rise to massive landmass loss, hence, have raised grave concerns for the Government. The Seasonal Employment Programmes in Australia and in New Zealand through exposure of I‐Kiribati people participating in the programs, provide life experience and working conditions outside of Kiribati and cultural norms which are different from the local setting. Positive initiatives by the labour receiving countries have shown the willingness to provide on the ground training for the workers whilst on assignment that add knowledge and skill areas, should migration eventuate. The other important project that involves the up‐skilling of English skills for primary school teachers will also form a firm foundation for the trade courses offered at TVET institutions, as students progress from formal education. These are small, but important stepping stones towards eventual migration.
At this juncture, allow me Chair to acknowledge with appreciation the ongoing seasonal work programs with the Governments of Australia and New Zealand. Regional Relevance The most recent water shortage in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the floods in the Fiji Islands, the tsunami that hit Samoa and Tonga, hurricanes which swept up Tubuai in Maohi Nui, Aitutaki in the Cook Islands, the Solomon Islands, Wallis and Futuna, the northern and eastern sides of the Fiji Islands and surrounding island groups, all figure in the scope of natural disasters that will see the displacement of people within respective boarders and assistance is needed to provide proper protection for those affected. This protection is essential as the young population from Kiribati and the region alike, begin to migrate on their own with the sound knowledge of climate change and what is in store for them, in the future.
I have highlighted the Kiribati perspective which I have no doubt can be put into context by any of the neighboring countries with little or no difference in the island vulnerable experiences, we all are facing. Protection Agenda The Nansen Initiative Protection Agenda kick starts the discussion on what potential recipient countries would need to consider outside of national legal frameworks when imposed upon by forcefully removed people. There are 4 4 serious questions that need to be answered and I know the Protection Agenda will be agreed to and it is my genuine hope that as we progress with the consultations, we are able to provide insights from our individual country experiences. The Initiative has shown that indeed there is social responsibility in the international community and that our efforts at the national levels to address internal movement of people affected by the sudden and slow onset of climate change and sea level rise are starting to receive international attention.

You must have experience on SABRE, EAGLE, etc /// also must have experience for the aircraft they used, like ATR, jet, etc before even try to apply .... :( otherwise is just wasting time .... .... u know what i mean ? the reason is that they do not want to spend time to train new peoples :( :( especially they do not have dispatcher instructor in house like most commuter airlies, for example like Northwest Airlink in Memphis, they do not have dispatcher instructor in house as well,,, :( so situation like that will handover to the Manager to train the new dispatchers, too bad in reality most manager do not like to take this extra job in his title, so you can imagine, even they provided the training, but it doesn't mean the training is adequate, for example u won't get 40 hrs, u may only have 20hrs max .... then they will signed u off & u r on your own & do the job, can't u believed that ? ? ? OR some airlines will handover the training job to the most senior dispatcher or Supervisor to handle the training ... well, different company would have different method to handle the situation, like Air-midwest( owned by U.S airways) over Wichita, KS ... dispatch Supervisor will handle the training, interesting thing is you can be a supervisor within 2-3 yrs in commuter airlines if u decided to stayed with them , coz most people will leave the commuter airlines after 2 yrs experience, & apply a job over major airline, anyways ... this is just my experience i would like to share with all brand new dispatcher outhere .... hope you guys get get a job soon !! good luck !! !! I am currenty woking for private company as a flight planning specialist.

Currently there are a variety of different automated trading systems available to make trading much more facile for any trader who doesn’t have the sufficient time or just doesn’t want to conduct anything the old fashion way: manually.
Having so many options to choose from can definitely cause a bit of confusion when you are trying to decide which one is the best option for your needs and wants. At the moment, the trading system that is causing a lot of buzz around the globe is the Signal Trader.
Ever since it appeared on the market, Signaltrader.com has been the talk of the town due to being able to provide the ideal solutions across a full range of financial instruments in order to offer the best outcomes to traders from around the globe and for not charging set-up fees or monthly charges like other automated trading solutions are known to do. In order to find out if Signal Trader lives up to the hype that surrounds it, we decided to undertake the task of reviewing it (read below).
Signal Trader mirrors the trades of proprietary traders in their brokerage accounts. It permits clients to automate their trading on Commodities, Indices, and Forex. It is able to do this by mirroring the trades of prop traders, whose accounts can be seen in Signal Trader’s trading rooms (which are live).
Based on the activity of the prop traders they opt to follow, clients are able to build their own portfolio with Signal Trader. Bottom line is that Signal Trader is a service that hosts a lot of signal providers, Forex signal provider being one of them.
Below, we’ve single-handedly picked the best and most profitable forex signal providers to follow on Signal Trader so you won’t have to search through the site before making your decision. Just select the most appropriate for you below based on your preference and open a live account with their associated broker to start receiving signals from these top traders.
For those of you who are not aware, Forex trading signal systems are sets of analyses or of algorithmic that are utilized by Forex traders in order to establish exit and entry points for a trade of currency pairs at any time. One can opt for the Forex trading signals to be performed manually or automatically, but if you want to eliminate the negative aspects of trading that often arise when you are the one who is doing everything manually (also known as the old fashion way), it is better to opt for an automated system. When you opt for an automated system, you are required to set a computer program to interpret results and determine signals. An automated system, such as the Signal Trader, is able to predict behaviors and evaluate hundreds of thousands of indicators in different time periods for all currency prices.
According to recent statistics, approximately 90% of traders lose their money. When it comes to Forex trading, this percentage changes to 95%. This is definitely quite a shocking percentage. Why do so many traders lose their money when trading? This seems to be the million dollar question that a lot of people ask themselves which is why many of them do not want to enter into the trading world.
There a couple of fatal mistakes that causes traders to lose money all the time: lack of proper trading plan, lack of discipline, lack of money management, impatience, and averaging losses.
Tremendous effort from a trader is required in order to trade profitably and successfully in Forex. One way that one can avoid the aforementioned mistakes that often take place is to utilize an automated trading system. An automated trading system such as Signal Trader can aid you, no matter if you are high experienced or a novice.

Just a few years ago, the majority of automated trade systems were not very efficient. They had a very poor performance when making their predictions about whether the price was going up or down. However, thanks to modern technology, most of them now have a better precision when making their predictions for buying and selling.
It is said that Forex trading can be successful as long as he market is analyzed just in time. In previous years, only specialists in this field were able to calculate and analyze the market thanks to their mathematical and analytical skills, but thanks to automated Forex systems, such as Signal Trader, everything can be analyzed and executed automatically.
This is a great advantage for those individuals who have a busy schedule and just don’t have the time in the day to sit down and analyze what is going on with the market.

As you can conclude, this automatic trader has a handful of benefits, but there are a couple of benefits that caught our eye the most. With this Forex signal provider, there is no need for you to be aware of development in currency pairs; therefore, you will have more free time. The opening and closing of orders is done instantly. We also noted that it can operate twenty-four hours a day. This feature can increase the number of closed transactions, and the ability to increase profits. Signal Trader allows you to automatically optimize the indicators. An optimization gives better results in Forex trading, but for limited periods of time. With Signal Trader avoids the possibility of human error, which is a huge plus to anyone in the trading world.
Just like our other reviews, we really try very hard to find a possible downfall in a system, but we just weren’t able to find any possible downfall on the Signal Trader. This might be due to it being designed with no room for error. The designers of it took a long time to design it, as they wanted to make sure they placed a lot of attention to every detail present on this automatic trading system in order to conduct the adjustments that they found necessary.

In general, Signal Trader provides the ideal technological solution in order to conduct automated mirror trading; it is not a broker. In order to utilize Signal Trader, you first need to establish a trading account with one of their broker partners.
With Signal Trader you can trade manually. Manually and with the broker’s MT4 terminal, you can open new positions as well as modify and close any of the provider positions whenever you want.
Signal Trader is a referring broker. It attains an IB fee from the brokers over the activity taking place on its referred accounts. A success fee is paid by Signal Trader to the signal provider when they execute profitable trades. When it comes to losing trades, the Signal providers do not receive any fee.
As you can conclude, this Forex signal provider lives up to the hype that surrounds it. For this reason, we highly recommend that you try the demo of it first so you can get the hang of it and start trading with great ease whenever you please.

Netcheque is an electronic payment system that allows the transfer of funds online via the form of an e-mail or via a network protocol. The Netcheque was developed by the Information Sciences Institute at the University of Southern California. It has the ability to transfer funds between the issuer’s account and the receiver’s account, where all the transaction details are maintained on a Netcheque server. Currently, Netcheque is a research prototype which is available for licensed commercial use. Security wise, Netcheque uses conventional cryptography, making it more efficient than systems that are based on a public key cryptography.

Great leaders have many qualities in common: They are strong communicators, adaptable, decisive and committed to learning. Strengthening your leadership skills can help you move toward a position of even greater responsibility in the accounting and finance field.
Start by identifying leadership traits your company values. Observe other company leaders you admire to evaluate their leadership skills and styles.
For example, how do they interact with employees? Are they collaborative, including employees in decision-making? Are they heavier on the guidance, giving specific directions? Or do they practice a more hands-off type of leadership, allowing staff room to make decisions? Identifying common traits among current managers also allows you to identify possible leadership gaps in your organization.
Great leaders don’t fly solo. Even as you reach the top of the profession, mentors can help you gain perspective, identify your strengths and weaknesses, and narrow your focus.
However, you shouldn’t expect a mentor to find you. Identifying the right mentor and asking him or her to work with you requires some planning and possibly stepping outside of your comfort zone.
You can learn additional lessons, and hone your leadership skills, by becoming a great mentor yourself.
Nontechnical skills, also commonly referred to as soft skills, including communication, adaptability and decisiveness, are pivotal for leaders. Focusing on your communication abilities, both verbal and written, will help you better convey your vision to others. Using social media insights and other tech developments, good leaders also need to be constantly tweaking their techniques. Staying ahead of emerging trends will help others in the company see you as a cutting-edge leader.
As soft skills continue gaining in importance for accounting and finance professionals, sharpening your abilities will provide another benefit: You'll be leading your team by example. You'll become who they model their behaviors after, reinforcing the work and professional development you expect from them.
Look for professional development opportunities, such as seminars, online classes and training programs to refine your leadership skills. Your company may be willing to pay enrollment fees, so be sure to ask if it offers reimbursement.
If your firm isn’t able to contribute to your education, consider paying for training yourself as a solid investment in your career. Even shorter forms of continuing education, such as webinars and podcasts, as well as books on business and leadership, can provide valuable information and outside perspectives you may not have considered previously.
Constructive criticism and advice from colleagues, managers and mentors will help you grow as a professional working in the field of accounting and finance and build stronger leadership skills. Often, an objective opinion will allow you to see a view of yourself you didn’t have before.
Colleagues and managers can help you identify your strengths and weaknesses and encourage you to build on both. Relying on your contacts for this type of feedback will also help you build trust and credibility — both essential leadership characteristics.
In addition to adopting admirable qualities you've found in your fellow company leaders, identifying great leaders outside your company as well. Also look at those outside your industry to help you form a more complete picture of attributes to maintain.
Staying abreast of business trends can help you be seen as a thought leader in your company and the finance profession. Identifying resources for reliable information is important for this type of growth. Look for popular leadership blogs, industry newsletters, and business and economic development sources to broaden your perspectives.
When you find relevant articles, share them with your colleagues. This has the dual benefit of establishing you as a resource for your contacts and highlighting your industry expertise.
Something else common to successful leaders is a wide network. You can start expanding your base of contacts by broadening your horizons within your own company.
Don’t overlook the value of social media as you work to build your connections, both inside and outside your organization, while also keeping in mind the value of in-person networking activities. Whether face-to-face or virtual, cultivate relationships to ensure your network grows not only wide, but deep as well.
Remember that not every leadership style is going to be the same. Use the tips here to develop your own unique approach.

The price of DRAM has already been in free fall for months are we are already back to late 2016 levels, and on course to reach 2016 or even lowest $/GB Memory in 2019 assuming no further rebounce.
Considering the current DRAM glut is said to be mainly linked to Intel CPU shortages it might still be reasonable to keep investing in more fabs or new tech as those shortages will not last too long considering the grand scheme of things where product production has a lead up time of years.
Product *development* has a lead time. Product *production*, meaning ramping up production, has close to no lead time. How is knowing the shortage won't last encouraging them to invest in new factories? New factories means higher production (so supply), which means lower prices. So you expect them to spend money to build factories that make their product worth even less?
Come on, don't they teach any economic concept in school these days?
I argued it has more to do with Mobile Phone shipment slowed down more than Intel CPU shortages.

I am originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and moved to Portland in 1999 for my optometric education. Prior to becoming an optometrist, I attended Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Arizona, obtaining a bachelor’s degree in aeronautical science. I am a U.S. Navy veteran, serving during the first Gulf War. I chose to practice optometry as I feel that caring for a patient’s eye health and vision can have a direct and positive effect on that patient’s life.
My passion for eye care and patient education drives my thoroughness. I have a genuine affection for people and a sincere dedication to preserving their eye health while helping them achieve the best vision possible. Before joining Kaiser Permanente, I owned my own practice for 10 years. In addition to providing comprehensive eye health and vision care, I emphasize preventive health care, manage medical eye disease, and specialize in contact lenses with expertise in Keratoconus.
Finding new challenges helps me thrive. I enjoy travel and exploring the culinary cultures of unfamiliar countries with my wife. Also, aviation is a strong interest of mine and provides endless challenge.

Getting a poor night’s sleep doesn’t just make you cranky – it can also make you fat. Research shows logging fewer than eight hours a night increases your levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which negatively affects the microbes in your gut, slowing your metabolism.
Fortunately, you can reverse course and keep your metabolism cranking overnight with these simple steps.
After work, head straight from your desk to the dumbbell rack and you can boost your metabolic rate for 16 hours, according to the International Journal of Sport Nutrition.
No gym membership? No problem. Cranking out five sets of 10 burpees or ploughing through 100 push-ups and 100 squats in your spare room will ignite your fat-burning furnace until morning.
Feed your hungry muscles by trading whey for casein in your post-workout shake. This slow-release protein is gradually digested over eight hours and keeps your metabolic fires burning through the night.
Dutch researchers at Maastricht University Medical Centre also say that casein enhances protein synthesis, which helps you cut an extra 146 kilojoules a day for every half kilo of new muscle gained.
An icy shower does more than flush out lactic acid after the gym. Research in PLOS ONE finds that a 30-second freeze is all it takes to activate your body’s brown fat – which, when fired up, melts as much as an extra 1600kJ in bed.
Make sure you stick your head under the shower head: more brown fat is stored in the back of your neck and shoulders.
The flavonoids found in green tea boost your metabolism – and if it’s your third cup of the day, you’ll burn 3.5 per cent more kilojoules overnight, according to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Don’t worry about caffeine content. Green tea will help keep you up for the late-night news, but not all night.
Cranking the heat up at night burns through little more than the extra cash on your power bill.
Research from the US National Institutes of Health says that turning down your thermostat to a cool 18ºC cuts seven per cent more kilojoules, as your body burns fat to maintain its core temperature.

It’s jigs. If you’re like me, you never met a jig (or its close cousin, fixture), you didn’t like. If there’s a way to create a gadget to make a task easier, faster, more efficient or repeatable, and more accurate it’s love at first sight.
After typing that last paragraph I took a brief stroll through my shop and counted jigs – just the ones I could see, mind you – and easily spotted nine without stooping, climbing or opening anything to make them more visible. Without over-taxing my brain (which is surprisingly easy to do) I can think of at least 10 more put away somewhere right off the top of my head. And if I actually started digging them all out, the total is surely in the dozens.
When people find out you’re a woodworker and ask what you make, you probably tell them about your furniture, your cabinets, your turnings or whatever. But if your answer is anything but “I make jigs,” then you’re probably not being honest with them. Or yourself.

As great as our modern mobile phones are, sometimes there are little extras we want to make them absolutely perfect – longer battery life, a stronger case, or better for taking pictures. In this article, we look at our favourite new accessories from 2018 that are sure to supercharge your phone experience this Christmas!
Companies have been innovating around smartphones for decades, and cell batteries are no exception. We look at how phone batteries have evolved since the first mobile in 1973, and what the future of our mobile phones could look like.
We’ve mentioned before about how Lenovo’s innovative new tablet range is shaking up the previously static tablet market. But Samsung’s new smartphone tablets are showing us where another future could lie in phablet devices. Their new smartphone can fold down the middle and seamlessly swap to phone from tablet size, unlike anything else available on the market.
It’s not technically going to be the world’s ‘first’ foldable smartphone – the recently announced Royole FlexPai is stealing some of Samsung’s limelight as a new ‘foldable phone’, but even before then the ZTE Axon M was a ‘foldable’ phone, made of two screens connected on a hinge. However, Samsung’s new foldable phone is backed by a huge company hoping to make their phone a mainstream commercial success. Because of this awesome new technology, we at Celicious want to explain everything we know about the new Samsung handset.
As we get further into November, festive feelings are flowing, and Christmas shopping is underway. Most people will still be on the hunt for the perfect Christmas gifts for their family and friends, and for the tech-savvy workmate, a new tech gadget may just offer the perfect solution! We share our top seven picks for your techie coworkers over Christmas time.
Is The Samsung Galaxy Fold Worth It?

Welcome along to the latest issue of Something Sweet, my weekly online magazine with all the latest news from the world of cake.
What isn’t?! I’ve been keeping myself mega busy this week, ticking off some of the projects that have been languishing on my cakey to do list for an absolute age.
I started on Monday, by finally getting around to having a play with the Half-Sphere Multi Mould and Edible Transfers by The Old Piping Bag. Designed to allow us all to create incredibly realistic looking eyes for our sculpted cakes, using a combination of isomalt and Rachel’s fabulous pre-cut transfers, I had been reluctant to get cracking with this review because I had never used isomalt before – and if I’m honest, I’d always been a little bit scared of it.
You can find out how I got on with my first brush with the molten sugar substitute by reading the full post here.
I also had my first dalliance with Cake Dutchess Modelling Paste to create a piece for the ongoing collaboration: Animals Around the World. Hosted by the Cake Dutchess herself, Etty van Urk, this collaboration is a chance to shine a spotlight on creatures from around the world, which are endangered or vulnerable.
I chose to highlight the rockhopper penguin, which are categorised by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) as a vulnerable species. In the last 30 years, it is estimated that the population of rockhoppers has fallen by nearly 25% – and now climate change could place them at even greater risk.
I was really impressed by Cake Dutchess modelling paste too. As many of you know, I tend to work exclusively with Renshaw – simply because I always have – so it was fun to try something new. The paste smelled lovely and it held up well in the warm weather that seems to be back with us again. I was also impressed by how well the paste took colour. On Etty’s advice, I used Rainbow Dust’s Progel Range and, even when colouring black (from white), the paste remained just as firm and workable as it was when left uncoloured. I’ll definitely be using Cake Dutchess Modelling Paste again.
Like many of you, I also completed my nominations for this year’s Cake Masters Magazine Awards (AKA the Cake Oscars) this week and the theme for my nominations this year has been to recognise up-and-coming talents – those that I haven’t seen recognised at the awards previously. I’ll be crossing my fingers that at least some of them make it into the finalist line up.
As promised, I also braved my first ever Facebook Live demonstration, during which I shared how you can use last week’s ‘This week I am mostly loving…’ tool, the Sharp Edge Smoother by Cakes by Carol, to create sharp edges on your cakes.
It was actually pretty fun and nowhere near as scary as I thought it would be – in spite of rolling my sugar paste far too thin and making a bit of a botch of the whole thing really. I just learnt to always have ‘one I prepared earlier’ ready at hand.
I think the hot weather has gone to some of our cake buddies’ heads recently, because there are some pretty MEGA cake-themed giveaways happening right about now. If you haven’t already heard, I think it’s only fair that you all have the chance to get involved too.
I mean, you REALLY don’t want to be missing out on these!
First up, you need to head to Instagram, where some of the biggest names in cake have teamed up to offer you all the chance to win the most immense prize bundle of awesome cake gear that I have EVER seen.
Featuring prizes from Shawna McGreevy of McGreevy Cakes and Cakeheads, Avalon Yarnes of Avalon Cakes School of Sugar Art, Karen Reeves of Caking It Up, Miranda Piotrovska of Sweet Sticks, Faye Cahill of Faye Cahill Cake Design, Stevi Auble of Hey There, Cupcake! and Bets Gee of Magnolia Kitchen, this one really needs to be seen to be believed.
Two giant metal Cakeheads bench scrapers and an official McGreevy Cakes Face Mould from McGreevy Cakes.
The original and best Cake and Cookie Planner, a full set of Cake Sketching Templates, a Cake More Worry Less tank top, a roll-up denim tool pouch and a Cake Is Kinda My Thing limited edition drink bottle from Avalon Cakes School of Sugar Art.
A set of ten (yes, TEN) Caking It Up stencils and a set of the new strip cutters from Caking It Up.
A signed copy of the Wafer Paper Cakes book and a selection of edible printed wafer paper from Hey There, Cupcake!
A set of Sharp Scrapers, an Magnolia Kitchen Keep It Cup, some of their very own Classic Russian Fudge and an MK Addict Stonewashed Shirt from Magnolia Kitchen.
“BUT WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET MY HANDS ON THIS AWESOME PRIZE?!!” I hear you shout!
Well, you need to head over to Instagram and make sure you are following all of these super-awesome and super-generous ladies. Then you need to find one of the giveaway posts and ‘like’ it, before commenting with what you love the most about cake decorating – tagging one of your bestest cake chums in the process.
It’s only a class with legendary cake artist Karen Portaleo – normally valued at £550!
Throughout August, every time you place an order on the Fabricake website, you will receive one entry into the prize draw to win a place on the Emperor Panda two-day masterclass with Karen Portaleo – absolutely free!
Places in this incredible class are strictly limited so you will be one of only a small group of people in Europe to actually get to take part.
To enter, simply place an order through the Fabricake website throughout August and remember that every order will count as an entry – meaning the more orders you place, the more tickets you will have in the draw.
And don’t forget, you can also take advantage of my exclusive discount code MRBAKER10 while you are there – saving 10% on all of your purchases! I think it might be time to stock up on all those essentials, don’t you?
I’m SO excited to say this: The Great British Bake Off is back!
While we are still waiting to know exactly when the show will return to its new home on Channel 4, if last year was anything to go by, then the end of August seems likely.
Just like last year, I am planning on baking along with the show – attempting all of the technical bakes, while following the same rules and time constraints that the contestants in the tent are facing – and of course blogging about it all right here you for you guys.
If you fancy joining me, it’s a brilliant way to get involved with the show and it’s a great way to expand your baking repertoire too! While we wait for the new series to start, why not head over to this link to see how I got on with last year’s technical challenges?
If, like me, you are looking forward to visiting the Northern Ireland Sugar Expo, but were a bit reluctant to commit to exhibiting at the show – or entering the competitions, of course – before you knew how you were getting there and where you would be staying, the latest few updates from the team should be a massive help.
Emma and Alessandra have scoured their local area to find only the very best accommodation available AND have even managed to negotiate some special discounts for NISE attendees.
For the full list of local hotels and to check out the deals available, head to the NISE Facebook Page now!
Yes, as I mentioned above, this week, I finally faced my fears and had a go at working with isomalt! Squires Kitchen Ready-tempered Isomalt to be precise.
With my silicone containers, blow torch and edible glaze spray, I felt very prepared to attempt to use the molten sugar in moulds for the first time and it’s like a whole new world of creativity is opening up to me! However, I got to wondering, just how do people use it to freeform decorative elements on their cakes?!
I see people using it as water dripping from sculpted dog’s mouths, as waves breaking against the bows of ships and as goodness knows what else besides. How are they doing this?!
So that is my call to arms this week: How have you used isomalt on your cakes? I’m going to host a week-long share event during which you can show off the results of your own experimentation with isomalt. And if you are feeling generous enough to offer us all your top tips, well then that would be even better!
To join in, simply post your favourite cakes that include an isomalt element to the wall over at my Facebook page and I’ll share as many as I can across the week!
I’m already excited to see what you have all been creating with this tricky lil’ ingredient!
Tickets for this year’s Bolton Food and Drink Festival are selling like hot cakes and the 13th annual event, which takes place over the Bank Holiday weekend – from Friday August 24 to Monday August 27 – looks set to be an amazing experience!
Organised by Bolton Council in association with Aldi, the Bolton Food and Drink Festival holds the reputation of being the biggest and best food festival in the north, with more than 267,000 visitors last year.
Across the weekend, celebrity chefs like Ainsley Harriot, James Martin and everyone’s favourite GBBO winner, Nadiya Hussain, will host a series of live demos and events.
Leader of Bolton Council, Cllr Linda Thomas, said: “Our celebrity chef demos usually sell out quickly, so I would advise people to get their tickets early to avoid disappointment.
“Nadiya is great with families, Ainsley is an energetic performer and James has a solid following, so there will be something for all tastes at this year’s event.
Last year saw Kay Gajra of Kaykes create a stunning showpiece display to celebrate the weekend and a little bird tells me that this year another of our favourite cakers will be cooking up something special for this year’s event. Someone decidedly… Diva-y?
Kay will also be back judging the Festival Cake Off, so whether you’re a budding baker or experienced pro, she would love to see your fantastic show-stopping celebration cakes that represent the fun of the festival! To enter the Cake Off, you can head here – but be quick, the deadline to submit your entry design is this Wednesday!
I’m hoping to head up to the festival for part of the weekend and would love to see some of you there. For more information on the event and to get your tickets, head to the official website or check out the festival page on Facebook.
There is nothing better than a couple of really striking anemones to add some real drama to a floral arrangement and they are a great choice for both wedding and celebration cakes throughout the year.
They are one bloom that I have never got around to trying, so I was thrilled when I saw that the Squires Kitchen Shop Blog had posted a free tutorial to allow us all to have a got at making them.
You can learn how to create your own cream and navy flowers – or have fun experimenting with your own colour combinations, of course – by heading to this link.
With all this hot weather we have been having and the awful straw-like grass that seems to be covering the ground everywhere at the moment, I find myself being drawn towards lush, healthy-looking greenery. Only yesterday, I picked up a new china tea set decorated with bright, luscious, green ivy and I think it is the same desire for greenery that attracted me to this week’s Cake of the Week.
The combination of Joanna Pyda of Joanna Pyda Cake Studio’s pristinely-finished bright white tiers, coupled with colourful blooms and an abundance of leafy greens really caught my attention this week and I bet the lucky couple were thrilled with Joanna’s wonderful creation.
Joanna’s Facebook page was a new discovery for me this week and it is well worth a visit – you can find it here. Congratulations on a wonderful Cake of the Week, Joanna and I look forward to seeing more of your beautiful designs.
Allison Price of Let’s Eat Cupcakes was a significant presence on the cake scene for a considerable period of time, until she decided that going to work and then coming home and making cakes into the wee small hours just wasn’t working for her anymore. Of course, she has maintained many wonderful friendships within the cake community and they turned out in force this week to help her celebrate her marriage to husband, Steven.
As huge fans of Harry’s wizarding world, Allison and Steven had worked hard to create a beautifully-detailed Harry Potter-themed wedding (I must admit to a bit of rifling through Allison’s Facebook at the many incredible handmade elements Allison had either been able to source or, in many cases, craft herself.
Of course, for such a special day, a truly special cake was needed – but fortunately, Calli Hopper of Calli’s Creations was on hand with one of her magnificently jaw-dropping creations.
To bring her incredible creation to live, Calli’s tiers were royal iced before being hand-painted with Saracino cocoa butter and edible dusts. She used modelling chocolate and modelling paste to craft the frames, elder wand, potion bottle and snitch. Her roses were made from cold porcelain and the whole piece comes together to create an incredibly awesome display that I’m sure was one of the many highlights of a truly beautiful day.
Congratulations to Allison and Steven on their wedding day and I wish them many years of happiness together.
