Jacobson The ten famous plagues that are recorded in the Torah (Ex. 7:14-12:36), are not to be viewed as merely a set of supernatural occurrences that destroyed the Egyptian empire around 3,300 years ago. The Torah is a blueprint for life, a manual for the development of the human race - not merely a record of ancient tales. The episodes recorded in the Torah represent timeless, spiritual tales occurring continuously in the heart of each man. How are we then to apply the remote story of the ten plagues to our personal lives in the 21st century? Anatomy of the Soul The Kabbala teaches that every human soul is comprised of ten points of energy, ten characteristics that make up its inner "personality". The first three form the super-conscious identity of the soul and its cognitive powers. The final seven constitute the emotional persona of the soul. These ten characteristics, also known as the ten sefirot, ten emanating lights, are depicted in Kabbala in the following manner: Hebrew Name English Name Keter The super-conscious Chochma Conception Bina Intelligence Chesed Love Gevura Rejection Tiferet Compassion Netzach Ambition Hod Submission Yesod Bonding Malchut Confidence Every one of us has been given a choice in life. We may either refine these ten attributes so that they express our inner divine light, or we may pervert and corrupt these very attributes by using them in unhealthy and immoral ways. Ancient Egypt, with its demonic program of systematically eliminating an entire people, the Hebrews, from the face of the earth, chose to embark on the latter path. In our personal lives, Egypt reflects a state of psychological dysfunction, in which one or more of the soul's attributes become distorted and dysfunctional, hindering a human being's ability for true self-actualization and fulfillment. This is indicated in the Hebrew name for Egypt, Mitzrayim, which may be translated as "inhibitions" or "constraints". When we fail to confront our own demons, our perverted attributes can return to us too in the form of psychological plagues. Plague Attribute Blood Confidence Frogs Bonding Swarm Ambition Epidemic Compassion Boils Rejection Hail Love Locusts Intelligence Darkness Conception Death of Super-Conscious Blood - Destructive Confidence The first plague, in which the Nile River turned into blood, was a physical symbol of the destructive confidence that became the hallmark of Egypt (geographically as well as psychologically). Instead of a constructive confidence that builds one's spiritual character and fosters sensitivity to others, "Egyptian" confidence breeds dominance and exploitation. When one's perception of confidence becomes truly corrupt, it can lead to generating rivers of blood, as the Egyptians indeed did. (See Midrash Rabba, Shemot 1:34; Targum Yonasan and Rashi to Ex. 2:23) The Nile River embodied the source of Egyptian confidence and security. Since little rain falls in Egypt, the country's agriculture and sustenance are completely dependent on the Nile, therefore the ancient Egyptians actually deified the Nile (See Shemot Rabba 9:9). The waters of the Nile turning into blood reflected the perverse state of a nation which turns its confidence into blood, using its position of strength and power to slaughter and butcher countless innocent human beings. Frogs - Cold Intimacy The second plague, in which swarms of frogs inundated Egypt, symbolizes the cold and dispassionate intimacy which characterizes a man living in a psychological Egypt. Frogs are cold-blooded amphibious creatures that hatch in cold environments. Female frogs usually deposit their eggs into water where they hatch into tadpoles. Some frogs attach their eggs to water plants; others lay the eggs in damp moss or attach them to the limbs or leaves of trees overhanging the water. Land-dwelling frogs deposit their eggs in cool, moist holes. Due to this, and to the fact that eggs deposited in this fashion receive no parental protection, frogs reflect in the Kabbala an emotional state of apathy, detachment and coldness. This condition robs a human being of the ability to experience genuine emotional intimacy with any other person - a spouse, a child or a friend. (This brings to mind an anecdote. A man was once asked, "What is the difference between ignorance and apathy?" To which he replied, "I don't know and I don't care.") Lice - Unhealthy Submission The third plague, in which the dust of Egypt turned into lice, reflects the symptoms of unhealthy submission. This attribute, like all aspects of the soul, may either be productive or destructive. To forever remain a humble student of life's lessons is one of the noblest character traits an individual can possess. The ability to surrender one's ego to a higher truth is the foundation for all spiritual growth, as is the capacity to confess to an error or a wrongdoing. "May my soul be like dust," is a daily Jewish prayer, expressing our wish that we remain humble in the presence of life's mysteries. That is healthy humility and submission. Destructive "Egyptian" submission is a humility that crushes one's spirit and dulls its zest for life. In this type of submission, where one thinks of himself as a worthless inconsequential creature, the perception of the self as useless dust develops into lice that demoralize and debase one's life. Like lice, this type of humility sucks out a person's blood, depriving him of his vitality and energy-flow. The holy Rabbi Aaron of Karlin put it in these words: "Depression is not a sin; yet what depression does, no sin can do." Devouring Beasts - Wild Ambition The fourth plague, in which a swarm of devouring beasts attacked Egypt, is the physical symbol of unhealthy ambition. Ambition is one of the greatest gifts in life. It is the engine that drives man to achieve greatness and make a difference in the world. Yet if we do not refine this character trait, our ambitions can turn us into "devouring beasts" that crush and destroy the people we perceive standing in the way of the fulfillment of our goals. Epidemic - Sly Compassion The fifth plague, in which an epidemic annihilated the Egyptians' cattle, served as the physical embodiment of the attribute of sly compassion, which, like an epidemic, harms people silently and inconspicuously. What is compassion? The Kabbala states that compassion is more powerful and enduring than love. Love usually overlooks the flaws of a beloved one; therefore, when flaws do emerge, they may weaken the love, if not destroy it totally. Compassion, on the other hand, takes into consideration all the flaws of the individual and extends a helping heart and hand notwithstanding. This is moral compassion, the ability of a soul to experience the pain and the needs of its fellow man. "Egyptian" compassion is sly, shrewd and deceitful, where the seducing quality of compassion is used in order to exploit people's weaknesses for selfish purposes and destructive goals. When one uses compassion in this well-finessed manner, it inflicts damage on a person in the silent deadly way of an epidemic. [The point becomes clearer when the epidemic plague is contrasted with the plague of hail that also annihilated the cattle of Egypt. The former occurred silently, while the latter was performed with lots of commotion (Zohar vol. 2 p. 31b). The difference between the two is further indicated in the Hebrew names of the two plagues: "dever" (epidemic) and "barad" (hail). Both words consist of the same three Hebrew letters, dalet-bet-reish. But while in the word dever the letter bet is softened, in the word barad it is not (Zohar ibid.). All of this reflects the nature of sly compassion, which kills softly.] Boils - Brutal Rejection The sixth plague, in which embers from a hot furnace were hurled over the land developing into boils on the skin of the Egyptian population, is the physical symbol of cruel rejection. The Hebrew term for this plague, shchin, implies heat In Kabbala, fire embodies the soul's capacity to reject. Just like fire, an act or verbal rebuff may "scorch" or even demolish the one who is rejected. An additional connection between fire and rejection lies in the fact that fire surges upwards, moving away from earth. Rejection too constitutes an act of traveling inward and upward into one's own world, removing one self from the people and the events around. Yet a healthy soul needs to know how to reject just as it must know how to embrace. One is often called upon to refuse a destructive urge, to sever an unhealthy relationship, to say no to a spoiled child or an unethical business offer. That is healthy fire. It is a fire that destroys the negative in order to build the positive. However, when our inner capacity for rejection turns into hate, bitterness and cruelty, the embers of our soul become a destructive force. Like boils, they infect our lives and the lives of people around us. Hail - Frozen Love The seventh plague, in which produce-destroying hail descended upon Egypt, is symbolic of selfish love. If fire symbolizes rejection, water, naturally descending from a higher plane to a lower plane, embodies the qualities of generosity and loving-kindness. In Kabbala, the flow of love is compared to a flow of water, irrigating and nourishing a human soul with its refreshing vibrancy. Yet, a man who finds himself in "Egyptian" bondage knows only an icy love, a love that is based entirely on self-seeking motives and self-centered considerations. This person's rain-like flow of love becomes cold and frozen like hail, harming his loved ones instead of nurturing them. [This explains the mystical significance behind the fact that the hail that fell in Egypt had burning flames within it (Ex. 9:24). The cold and icy individual is also aflame - he is fired with self-love and ablaze with egotistical passions. Indeed, it is his excess of inner heat that is the cause of his icy exterior. Thus, the hail that fell in Egypt, icy without and fiery within, reflected the nature of "Egyptian" love: coldness displayed toward other people coupled with warmth displayed toward one's self.] Seven and Three - From Heart to Mind It is no coincidence that the first seven plagues are recorded in one section of the Bible (Vayera), while the final three plagues are recorded in another (Bo). The first seven plagues - blood, frogs, lice, devouring beasts, epidemic, boils and hail - reflected the Egyptian perversion of the seven emotions - confidence, bonding, submission, ambition, compassion, rejection and love. The last three plagues - locust, darkness and the death of the first-born - represent the more severe corruption of the intellectual faculties and super-conscious dimension of the Egyptian soul. When one's emotions and instincts are impaired, the sane and objective mind offers hope for healing. Yet when one's mind starts playing ugly games, the path toward recovery becomes painstakingly challenging. Locust - Perverted Intelligence The eighth plague, in which invading locusts left no greenery in their path, serves as a symbol of the destructive consequences of a corrupted mind. The ability of intellectual inquiry and scrutiny remains the singular most precious gift of the human race. It allows us to explore the universe, improve our lives and discover the higher moral calling of the human family. Yet the very same power may serve as a tool to rationalize every evil practiced under the sun and to justify every destructive lifestyle or habit. Like the locust that consumed all existing plants of Egypt, leaving in its wake barren soil, the corrupt mind can uproot every existing moral structure and established sacred foundation, leaving in its wake a desolate society bereft of spiritual values and absolute principles. This is the tragedy of Egypt-like intellectualism, where one becomes so open minded that his brains fall out. Darkness - A Locked Mind The ninth plague, in which a thick darkness enveloped all of Egypt, reflects the inability of the inhibited "Egyptian" soul to actualize its faculty of conception. This is the ability of one's mind to conceive a new and original idea that had been previously inaccessible. How? By the mind keenly realizing its limitations and borders, suspending its intellectual ego and opening itself up to a higher light, the previously inaccessible truth can emerge and illuminate the newly created vacuum. When one is arrogant and smug, he deprives his mind of the ability to experience illumination, forcing himself to remain in darkness, constricted forever to a narrow vision of life. Death of Firstborn - Death of Identity The tenth and final plague, the death of every Egyptian first-born, was the most devastating of all. It reflected the fact that the Egyptian abuse of the soul did not only affect its conscious faculties, but went on to distort and destroy its super-conscious forces as well. In the Kabbala, the first-born is symbolic of the inital instincts and motives of a soul that lie beneath the surface of the conscious self. That dimension of the personality is naturally more difficult to violate because it is hidden and inaccessible. But a lifestyle of ongoing addiction and abuse will ultimately bring about the death of the first-born - the death of the super-conscious element of one's soul. This was the final "bullet" that put an end to the vicious cycle of Egyptian addiction and abuse. With this plague the Jewish people were set free and were well on their way to receive the Ten Commandments. What are the Ten Commandments? They correspond to the ten plagues.(See Seder Hayom, Geulat Olam - Haggada by the Chida, Sfat Emet and Shem Meshmuel, parashat Veira.) Just as the plagues reflect the perversion of the ten faculties of the soul, the Ten Commandments represent the path of spiritual healing in each of these ten faculties, allowing them to express the harmony and splendor of man's divine essence.

__label__cc	0.610844	0.389156	The Constellations of the Zodiac The Zodiac is the name of the virtual belt in which the planets, Sun, and Moon appear to move about the sky. In reality, the planets and their respective moons (most of them anyway) orbit the Sun about the same plane. Because the orbits of the planets are not on a perfect plane, the Zodiac band is 16° wide - 8° on either side of the ecliptic. When mentioning the Zodiac, the subject of Astrology also comes to mind. Astronomy and Astrology are not the same thing. Astronomy is a science while Astrology is not. The pseudo-science of Astrology plot the positions of the Sun and planets about 12 constellations that constitute the Zodiac. The result of these positions is the effect the given planet, Sun or Moon on your birth sign. There are two problems regarding this plot: there are 13 constellations in the Zodiac and the position of the Sun within the Zodiac was plotted 2000 years ago. Because the Earth in inclined by 23.45 degrees, it rotates like a top. This is called precession. Precession is the act of a planet spinning like a top. Click on the image to view a demonstration of precession. Because our planet Earth is tilted by 23.45 degrees, it also precesses. The result will be a shift in the position of the constellations relative to us on Earth (video care of Swinburne Astronomy Online). The result is shifting of the constellations. This means that the Astrological plots and predictions based on your birth sign are really off by one month. For example, I was born in early March so my Astrological birth sign is Pisces. In reality however my birth sign is Aquarius since the Sun was in this constellation when I was born. Cryptocurrency exchanges are platforms on which you buy Bitcoin Cash and similar cryptocurrencies. Of course, I do not believe in the predictions of Astrology simply because the other eight planets have no affect on life here on Earth. If this were so, then the orbital speed of the Earth will gradually decrease since the more massive planets orbit the Sun slower than the Earth. This is simply not the case. However, it should be noted that the Sun and Moon do in fact influence Earth in a number of ways to include weather and tidal changes. As far as personality, wealth, health and relationships, there is no scientific evidence to prove these effects. For a comparison to the current dates of the Zodiac versus the Astrology plots, click here to view the table at the bottom of this page. The following table introduces the 13 constellations that make up the Zodiac - the large bright object in each of the images is our Sun: Aquarius, Aries, Cancer, Capricorn, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Ophiuchus, Pisces, Sagittarius, Scorpio, Taurus, Virgo Name Image Mythology Aquarius Water Carrier Babylonian Name. In Greek mythology, Aquarius (also known as Ganymede in Roman myth) was a beautiful young boy whom Zeus brought to Olympus to be the cup bearer of the Gods. It is suggested that Zeus fell in love with Aquarius. Aries Ram or Golden Fleece. In Greek mythology, the ram carried Athamas's son Phrixux and daughter Helle to Colchis to escape Ino. When the ram reached Colchis, Phrixux sacrificed the ram and hung its fleece in the Grove or Ares. This fleece turned to gold and later was the quest of Jason and the Argonauts. The constellation name was common in Greek, Babylonian and Egyptian cultures. Cancer Crab Juno sent a crab to defeat Hercules while fighting Hydra. The crab was crushed by Hercules. Capricorn Sea Goat Also known as Amalthea who provided for baby Zeus after Rhea saved him from Cronos. The word "cornucopia" comes from the broken horn of Capricorn - or the "horn of plenty." Gemini Twin Brothers The two bright stars - Castor and Pollux - are also the brothers' names. They were the brothers of Helen of Troy. They are also the protectors of ships and sailors. Leo Lion Prehistoric constellation associated with royalty. In Egyptian mythology, it represents the life giving floods since the Sun was in this constellation during the heavy rains. In Greek mythology, Leo represents the Nemean Lion which was killed by Hercules. Libra Scales The only "non-living" object in the Zodiac. Romans chopped claws from Scorpio during Autumn Equinox to make Libra. In Greek mythology, Libra is the scaled held by Astraea that represents justice. Ophiuchus Serpent Holder While not an Astrological sign, Sun spends longer time here than in Scorpio. In Greek mythology, Ophiuchus is a legendary physician who tried to become immortal to avoid death. Zeus killed him with a bolt of lightening, but honored him because of good works. Pisces Two Fish Venus and her son Cupid escaped Typhon as two fish tied together. In Greek mythology, they are Aphrodite and Eros. Sagittarius The Archer A Chiron, half-man half-horse, sent to kill the scorpion (Scorpio). In Babylonian mythology, this represents the demon Pabilsaq. Scorpio The Scorpion Sent by Gaia to kill Orion when he said he would kill all animals. It is also said that Apollo sent the scorpion to kill Orion. Orion and Scorpio are on opposite sides of the sky. Babylonian constellation. Jupiter turns into bull to carry off Europa - daughter of King of Crete. It is also said that Zeus brought the ram to try and win the heart of Europa. Virgo The Virgin Goddess of farms and harvest. Virgo could also represent Ishtar, Isis, Demeter, Cybele, and Athena. Also thought to represent Astraea, the daughter of Zeus representing justice. It is also suggested that Virgo represents Persephone, queen of the underworld.

Wall Street Week Ahead for the trading week beginning September 14th, 2020 Good Saturday morning to all of you here on wallstreetbets. I hope everyone on this sub made out pretty nicely in the market this past week, and is ready for the new trading week ahead. Here is everything you need to know to get you ready for the trading week beginning September 14th, 2020. Investors will look to the Fed to soothe the market next week, but that may be a tall order - (Source) Markets are looking to the Federal Reserve to be a soothing force when it meets in the week ahead, but stocks could remain choppy if the central bank disappoints and as investors focus on the election and the economic recovery. The Fed’s two-day meeting is expected to end Wednesday with minor tweaks to its statement and some clarity on how it plans to use forward guidance. The Fed also updates its economic and interest rate outlook, including forecasts for 2023 for the first time. But Quincy Krosby, chief investment strategist at Prudential Financial, said the stock market could easily be disappointed because the Fed is unlikely to offer more clarity on monetary policy, such as plans for bond buying. “The market is concerned the Fed is not going to give us explicit readings on their plans for monetary policy,″ she said. The Fed’s extraordinary policies have been an important factor behind the stock market’s 50% surge from the March 23 low, and it’s also seen as a major factor limiting the depth of the market’s sell-off. Peter Boockvar, chief investment officer at Bleakley Advisory Group, said the Fed is not likely to tweak much and it continues to buy $80 billion a month in Treasurys. “I don’t think they’ll do anything to the markets either way,” he said. Stocks were volatile in the past week, falling hard, rallying, falling and rallying again. That left the S&P 500 with a weekly decline of about 2.5%, its worst week since June. The harder hit Nasdaq was down about 4.1% for the week, its worst weekly decline since March. The quadruple expiration of options and futures at the end of the coming week could add to the volatility. Bank of America strategists said the bond market is watching the Fed for any balance sheet adjustments and the changes to its forward guidance, which includes the Fed’s recent tweak in its inflation policy. The Fed changed its policy of focusing on a target inflation rate to an average rate, meaning it may not tighten policy if inflation overshoots its 2% target. “We see risk the rates market is underwhelmed by the guidance provided by the Fed, which would support higher back-end rates and a steeper curve,” the Bank of America strategists noted. The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield slid in the past week, touching 0.67% Friday, and it could move higher, meaning bonds may sell-off, if the Fed does not clarify policy around its bond buying program. Krosby said the stock market is hoping for a dovish Fed. “The market needs that now because fiscal policy is going nowhere,” she said. BTIG strategist Julian Emanuel said the market could focus on the fact that Congress failed to make headway on fiscal stimulus, if the economic data begins to disappoint. Retail sales for August are expected Wednesday morning, as the Fed meets. They are expected to rise by 1%, and that should be an important look at whether the lack of enhanced unemployment benefits, which expired July 31, impacted consumer spending. Among other things, Republicans and Democrats could not agree how to replace the $600 weekly payment to the unemployed. “Depending on the polls and the economic data, the probability of stimulus rises and falls,” said Emanuel, head of equity and derivatives strategy. “Our view is that next week is just going to be lots of back and forth with the potential for a further extension of the range for the downside, if the political narrative gets more inflamed,” said Emanuel. Emanuel expects the market to remain choppy and fall further into the month of October, as investors worry about the uncertainty around the presidential election. The Fed’s meeting this week is its last before the election, and analysts expect Fed Chairman Jerome Powell to sound reassuring that the Fed will do whatever it takes to support the economy. Powell holds a briefing after the meeting Wednesday, and he is expected to also be asked about the potential for higher inflation. The Fed has said it is more concerned about disinflation, but recent inflation data has been hotter than expected, though still well below 2%. “There is a tug of war between those who say buy chips now because inflation is moving higher, versus those why are saying deflationary forces are still weaving their way into the economy,” said Krosby. Marc Chandler, chief market strategist at Bannockburn Global Forex, said he expects the Fed to sound reassuring but it’s not likely to discuss a target for bond purchases or the yield curve controls some investors were hoping for. Yield curve control would mean the Fed would try to manage interest rates by targeting its purchases of specific Treasurys. For instance, it may focus on trying to keep longer duration yields lower, and buy the 10-year. Chandler also noted the Fed’s $7 trillion balance sheet has recently declined by about $100 billion from its peak, and its bond purchases are falling behind the European Central Bank. “My sense is the Fed is going to keep saying it’s not worried about inflation. Its bigger worry is downside risks. They’ll repeat their call for fiscal stimulus which after this week seems less likely,” he said. Chandler said the stock market could remain choppy in the coming week, but he does not expect a sharp selloff. The dollar could decline, if the Fed sounds dovish, and that is a positive for stocks. “I don’t think a 10% pullback [in Nasdaq] has caused enough pain to have people capitulate. This is just an ordinary correction, and we’re going to make new highs,” he said. This past week saw the following moves in the S&P: (CLICK HERE FOR THE FULL S&P TREE MAP FOR THE PAST WEEK!)

Election Charts You Need To See: Part 1 First off, our thoughts go out to everyone who was impacted by the tragic events of September 11, 2001—19 years ago today. It is a day to reflect and remember those who were lost. One of the top requests we’ve had here at LPL Research is for more charts on the election. Over the next week, we will share some of our favorite charts on this very important subject. Here’s how the S&P 500 Index performs under various presidents and congressional makeups. The best scenario has historically been a Democratic president and Republican Congress, while a Republican president and Democratic Congress has been the weakest. Building on this, a split Congress historically has been one of the best scenarios for investors. The best scenario under a Republican president is a split Congress, a potential positive for 2020 that has played out after the massive reversal in the stock market since March. Looking at the four-year presidential cycle shows that stocks haven’t been down during a year the president was up for a re-election since FDR in the 1940s, another bullish tailwind for 2020. Here’s another look at this, as stocks historically have done much better when there isn’t a lame duck president. Active Managers Do an About Face The National Association of Active Investment Managers (NAAIM) has an index which tracks the exposure of its members to US equity markets. Each week, members are asked to provide a number that represents their exposure to markets. A reading of -200 means they are leveraged short, -100 indicates fully short, 0 is neutral, 100% is fully invested, and 200% indicates leveraged long. Two weeks ago, in our Bespoke Report, we highlighted the fact that the exposure index had moved to one of the highest levels in its 15-year history. Now, just two weeks later, these same active managers have reigned in their exposure considerably as this week's reading dropped from just under 100 to 53.1. This week's drop was the second-largest one week decline in the index's history and just the 10th time that the index lost more than a third (33 points) in a single week. The most recent occurrence was back in early March in the middle of the Covid crash, and every other prior period where the index saw a similar drop, the S&P 500 was also down every time by an average of 2.3%. Therefore, it's not much of a surprise to see the big drop this week given the big declines in the market. But what about going forward? Do big drops in the NAAIM Index mean a bounce back for markets or further declines? The Most and Least Heavily Shorted Stocks in the Russell 1,000 Below is an updated look at the most heavily shorted stocks in the Russell 1,000. Each of these 30 stocks has at least 15% of its equity float sold short. At the top of the list is Nordstrom (JWN) with 38.66% of its float sold short. With a YTD decline of 61.86%, the shorts have crushed it with JWN this year. With its huge portfolio of office and retail real estate, Brookfield Property REIT(BPYU) has the second highest short interest in the Russell 1,000 at 33.7%. BPYU is down 35.7% YTD. There are plenty of other well-known companies on the list of the most heavily shorted stocks. Examples include American Airlines (AAL), Virgin Galactic (SPCE), LendingTree (TREE), Wayfair (W), Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS), ADT, TripAdvisor (TRIP), Beyond Meat (BYND), and Kohl's (KSS). One name that is no longer on the list of most shorted stocks is Tesla (TSLA). When we provided an update on short interest back in February (a pre-COVID world), Tesla (TSLA) had more than 17% of its float sold short, but that number is all the way down to 8.3% as of the most recent filing. These 30 stocks with the highest short interest are down an average of 3.01% since last Wednesday (9/2) when the S&P 500 made its last closing high. That's actually a little bit better than the 3.55% average decline for the rest of the stocks in the Russell 1,000. And year-to-date, these 30 stocks are up an average of 0.60% versus an average gain of 0.81% for the rest of the index. That's not much of a difference! Below is a list of the 30 least shorted stocks in the Russell 1,000 as a percentage of equity float. None of these stocks have more than 0.71% of their float sold short, and they're mostly made up of more conservative names in the Health Care and Consumer Staples sectors. Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) has the lowest short interest as a percentage of float in the Russell 1,000 at just 0.36%. Microsoft (MSFT) -- one of the key mega-cap Tech names -- has the second lowest short interest, followed by Merck (MRK), Eli Lilly (LLY), and Medtronic (MDT). Somewhat surprisingly, Amazon (AMZN) is the sixth least shorted stock in the entire Russell 1,000. While AMZN is still thought of as a high-flying momentum name by many investors, its short interest levels tell a much different story, painting it as more of a non-cyclical stock like Pepsi (PEP), Procter & Gamble (PG), or Coca- Cola (KO). While the 30 most heavily shorted stocks in the Russell 1,000 are up 0.60% YTD, the 30 least shorted stocks in the index are up much more at +8%. This group has MSFT, AMZN, HD, and AAPL to thank for that strong performance! 5 Lessons Learned About Rising Rates While the direction of the 10-year Treasury yield over the last cycle was decidedly lower, as shown in LPL’s Chart of the Day, there were still six extended periods where it rose at least 0.75%, and in two of those it rose almost 2%. Looking ahead, economic growth below potential, slack in the labor market, and an extremely supportive Federal Reserve (Fed) may limit rate pressure in the near term, but with interest rates already low and massive stimulus in place, we believe the overall direction is likely to be higher. “Even in a falling rate period there are lessons from the last cycle about rising rates,” said LPL Financial Chief Investment Officer Burt White. “Among them: Careful when the Fed stops buying and sometimes the best defense is a good offense.” While every economic cycle is unique, the last cycle highlighted these key takeaways about periods of rising rates: Careful when the Fed stops buying. The two drivers of rising rates last cycle were economic growth and Fed bond purchases, also known as quantitative easing (QE). The Fed buys bonds to keep rates down, but the start of Fed buying has actually been the time when rates rise—likely on expectations that the purchases would help strengthen the economy. These periods also often followed large rate declines either because markets anticipated the start of Fed buying or the economy was faltering. The takeaway: unless the economy is really taking off, any rising-rate period may pause for an extended period, or even reverse, when the Fed backs off bond purchases. Sometime the best defense is a good offense. Lower-quality, more economically sensitive bond sectors actually performed well during periods of rising rates during the last cycle. Rate gains were largely driven by economic improvement rather than a large pick-up in inflation, and that’s typically a good environment for sectors like high-yield bonds and bank loans. The downside is that these are much riskier bond sectors and don’t provide the potential diversification benefits of higher-quality bonds during periods of stock declines. Don’t expect TIPS to provide much resilience because of their inflation adjustment. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) are high-quality bonds that have provided a little extra insulation against rising rates compared to similarly dated Treasuries when inflation expectations increased. TIPS prices are adjusted for inflation, but even with the adjustment, they are still very sensitive to rates. Investment-grade corporates can both hurt and help. If credit spreads narrow when rates are rising, investment-grade corporates can post some solid gains in a rising-rate environment, but if spreads are holding steady or even widening, they can be very sensitive to changes in Treasury yields, potentially (although not often) even more sensitive than Treasuries. Mortgage-backed securities (MBS) have not provided as much insulation as corporates, but they also have had less downside. While MBS have certainly outperformed Treasuries during periods of rising rates, they have not performed as well as investment-grade corporates. But they also have come with less downside, losing only 1.4% in their worst performing period compared to a 4% loss during the worst period for corporates. With the Fed still providing strong stimulus and economic growth potentially poised to accelerate, we currently see an increased risk of rates moving higher. We are playing some offense with our equity exposure, which allows us to emphasize a focus on higher-quality bonds. Among bond sectors, we are emphasizing MBS and still prefer investment-grade corporates over Treasuries. History may not repeat, but if it rhymes, this positioning may help add resilience to a fixed income portfolio if rates extend their move off recent lows.

Best and Worst Performing Stocks Since the 9/2 High Since the S&P 500 and Nasdaq peaked on September 2nd, we've seen rotation out of the post-COVID winners and rotation into laggards in the value space. Below we take a look at the best and worst performing stocks in the Russell 1,000 since the 9/2 high for the S&P. For each stock, we also include its YTD total return and its percentage change from the 3/23 COVID Crash low through 9/2. Capri Holdings (CPRI) is up more than any other stock in the Russell 1,000 since 9/2 with a gain of 17.43%. Even after the recent gains, however, Capri -- the holding company for brands like Michael Kors, Jimmy Choo, and Versace -- is still down 52.9% year-to-date. Only four other stocks are up more than 10% since 9/2 -- Beyond Meat (BYND), PVH, Virtu Financial (VIRT), and Reinsurance Group (RGA). Interestingly, BYND and VIRT are also up big (~80%) year-to-date, while PVH and RGA are both down more than 35% year-to-date. What stands out the most about the list of winners is that only one Technology stock made the cut -- Sabre (SABR). Most names come from the two consumer sectors including cruise-liners like Carnival (CCL), Royal Caribbean (RCL) and Norwegian Cruise (NCLH), Kohl's (KSS), Williams-Sonoma (WSM), Six Flags (SIX), Foot Locker (FL), and Ralph Lauren (RL). Both UBER and LYFT also made the cut with gains of 6% since 9/2. The 30 biggest winners since 9/2 are still down an average of 20% year-to-date, while the rest of the stocks in the Russell 1,000 are up an average of 1.46% YTD. While only one Technology stock made the list of biggest winners since 9/2, the sector accounts for two-thirds of the 30 biggest losers over the same time frame. As shown below, since 9/2, the six worst performing stocks in the Russell 1,000 and ten of the worst twelve all come from Tech. Notably, though, these 30 stocks that have all fallen more than 12% since 9/2 are still up an average of 5.6% YTD. Were it not for the horrid YTD performance of the Energy stocks that made the list, the average YTD gain would be even higher. Typical Early September Weakness Recovers Mid-Month Sells Off Month-End As of yesterday’s close the market was down more than the historical average performance in September. DJIA was down nearly -3.3%, S&P 500 was down -4.8%, NASDAQ was off 7.9%, Russell 1000 was down -5.2% and Russell 2000 lost 3.7%. Today’s rally looks like the beginning of a textbook mid-month recovery rally However, the second half of September has historically been weaker than the first half. The week after options expiration week can be treacherous with S&P 500 logging 23 weekly losses in 30 years since 1990. End-of-quarter portfolio restructuring, and window dressing can amplify the impacts of any negative headlines. (CLICK HERE FOR NEXT WEEK'S MOST NOTABLE EARNINGS RELEASES!)

As the parity moves along the path, the parity suddenly moves in the opposite direction and goes in the opposite direction between the two parallel lines for a while. After the flag formation is complete, the parity remains true to its previous trend and continues its way.

__label__cc	0.675062	0.324938	In Crystal Cruises®, Featured Posts, Gallivanting the Globe WEIRD & WONDERFUL FACTS ABOUT CRYSTAL’S 2021 MAIDEN CALLS, PART I An Irish Dolphin, Australian Longhorn and Russian Champagne We could dedicate our whole lives to globetrotting and still not see every place, every pivotal historical site and heavenly natural landscape. Even after more than 28 years sailing the world’s oceans – and now even rivers – there are still places Crystal Cruises has yet to explore. But we’re working on that. In 2021, Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity will add nine new ports of call to our own list of fascinating places, and we invite you to discover them along with us. To get us started and briefly acquainted with these gems – which span from Australia to Eastern Europe; Iceland to Ireland – here are some fast facts to know about Crystal’s 2021 maiden calls as you plan your next great adventure (and perhaps even the one after that): Seydisfjordur, Iceland (Lead image) Another tongue – and keyboard – twister! Actually spelled Seyðisfjörður and pronounced sey-dis-fehr-thet, this is where you go to truly unplug. One of the most charming characteristics of Seyðisfjörður is its seclusion, provided by the steep towering mountain peaks that surround the town. Aside from the quaint Icelandic town elements – a couple of convenience stores, library and wonderfully steaming warm swimming pools – visitors to Seyðisfjörður will find more reindeer than people, and more natural beauty than any camera roll could contain. The fact that you’ll arrive here by ship is appropriate, since the water is one of the few ways to even access this remote town, meaning this wondrous mountain village will not appear on everyone else’s travel list. Fungie, the beloved dolphin of Dingle, Ireland Dingle, Ireland Dingle is the place to visit if you want to immerse yourself in Irish culture and tradition, old and modern. The town is the namesake city of the Dingle Peninsula, in the southwest corner of Ireland, an area known for its proud devotion to Irish heritage. Here, you’ll learn about the arts and music of the region from locals happy to share, and will find a large population of residents who still favor traditional Gaelic dialects over English. What you may not expect to find is a thriving surf culture here, as Dingle Peninsula attracts novices and pros throughout the year. Also unexpected but quite delightful in Dingle: Fungie. This bottle-nosed dolphin resides in the harbor and is the town’s beloved “mascot.” Novorossiysk, Russia First thing’s first: it’s pronounced Noh-vuh-ruh-seesk. And it’s situated in Southern Russia along the Black Sea, boasting a strong naval history that will prove enlightening to any visitor with a curiosity about European military presence. Novorossiysk’s place along Tsemess Bay has made it a strategic gold mine since the 19th century. Something that is not such a no-brainer about the city? Its clout as a sparkling wine producer. Producer Abrau-Dyurso creates “Russian champagne” that has earned international acclaim (an enviable feat, even if the production of Russian champagne began with some help from a Frenchman). An anchor marks the harbor of military stronghold Novorossiysk, Russia This coastal haven is nestled on the northeastern coast of Queensland, adjacent from the central portion of the Great Barrier Reef. However, it holds some sizeable clout in its own right, literally. Townsville is home to some of the “largest” of several notable things. Among them, the longest horns in the world – a title bestowed by the Guinness Book of World Records to JR, a Texas Longhorn steer who was born and raised in Townsville’s Leahton Park and whose horns measure more than 2.8 meters (over nine feet). Additionally, Townsville is the home to the Australian Defence Force’s 3rd Brigade (and the largest army barracks in the country), which holds more than 130 of Aussie military history about which visitors can learn during their visits. Finally, Townsville is home to the world’s largest living coral reef aquarium, Reef HQ. Appropriate, given its geography, but no less impressive.

__label__wiki	0.865486	0.865486	Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred pauses while speaking to the media at the owners meeting in Arlington, Texas, Thursday, Nov. 21, 2019. (AP Photo/LM Otero) Is Rob Manfred trying to ruin baseball? Nick Costanzo· 1 year ago It’s no secret that most baseball fans don’t like MLB commissioner Rob Manfred. He was booed relentlessly by the World Series crowd a few weeks ago. Rob Manfred having to pause because he’s getting booed so loudly is the best thing of 2020 lmao pic.twitter.com/z8MQG2pUAe — John (@iam_johnw) October 28, 2020 I could fill a book with complaints about Manfred. But since neither you nor I have the time for such a thing, here are four reasons I think the commissioner is doing an awful job. “Piece of metal” Most Yankee fans bash Manfred for how he handled the Astros’ cheating scandal. That’s definitely fair, not punishing the players at all was wrong. Levying a harsh suspension to Joe Kelly for throwing at the Alex Bregman wasn’t right either. But the worst thing Manfred did in regards to the Astros was call the World Series trophy a “piece of metal.” It’s unbelievably embarrassing for the man in charge of baseball to downplay the trophy awarded for reaching the pinnacle of the sport. The most ironic part is that it’s literally called the commissioner’s trophy. “Calling the World Series trophy a piece of metal,…..the only thing devaluing that trophy is that it says commissioner on it,” Justin Turner to me today about the MLB Astros cheating crisis and Ron Manfred’s explanation. #Dodgers pic.twitter.com/Sq3XHWE8W6 — Liz Habib (@LizHabib) February 17, 2020 2020 season negotiations Manfred also did a horrible job negotiating with the Players’ Association prior to the 2020 season. There was a long period of time where I really didn’t think baseball was going to be played this year. The fact that the NBA and NHL already had plans in place to return during the pandemic while Manfred was saying he “wasn’t confident” baseball would happen in 2020 was an absolute joke. BREAKING: MLB commissioner Rob Manfred tells @Espngreeny that he’s “not confident” there will be a 2020 baseball season. “Unfortunately," Manfred said, "I can’t tell you that I’m a 100% certain that’s gonna happen.” News at @espn: https://t.co/h1I6Yh5R55 MLB had a huge opportunity to be the first American major sport to come back during the pandemic. Manfred & the MLBPA squandered that chance, and put the future of baseball at risk in the process. Attempt to grow the game Another huge problem I have with Manfred is his approach in trying to grow baseball’s popularity. The guy acts like pace of play is this massive problem. I’m all for making the game run more smoothly. Limiting teams to six mound visits a game was a smart change in my opinion. But rules such as a runner on second in extras or seven-inning doubleheaders will do nothing but anger diehard baseball fans. Will people who don’t watch baseball because the games are three hours long start watching if they’re reduced to two hours forty-five minutes? No, so stop acting like that’s the issue. The real issue is how the game is marketed. MLB blacking out games is a huge problem. How do they expect to grow the popularity of baseball when they don’t even let fans watch? In my opinion, implementing a broadcast similar to NFL RedZone could do wonders for MLB. MLB really needs a "Redzone" type feature. Anyone who isn't a diehard might not be interested in watching a full nine innings, but if they jump around every game in the league showing big moments, stars' at-bats, etc., I think a lot of people could get into that — Stanzo (@ncostanzo24) May 18, 2020 Apparently MLB has tried a few variations of this in the past. I had no idea though because they’re horrific at marketing, so even a diehard fan like myself never heard of it until people responded to my tweet. If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times: Baseball doesn’t have a gameplay problem. It has a marketing problem. Neutral site World Series? I didn’t mind the playoff bubble for 2020. With the pandemic, it made sense. Limiting travel to reduce the potential for a virus outbreak seemed like a no-brainer. However, Manfred recently said neutral-site World Series “isn’t completely off the table” moving forward. Permanently shifting the World Series to a neutral site would be an insanely stupid idea. I get that the Super Bowl is always at a neutral site, but that’s a one-game championship. The World Series is a best-of-seven. Hopefully, we reach the point where it’s safe to have capacity crowds at sporting events soon. Why on Earth would you not want those fanatical crowds at World Series games? And Manfred wants neutral site World Series. Idiot https://t.co/9Nq4wy76YU — Stanzo (@ncostanzo24) November 2, 2020 You can’t replace that kind of passion at a neutral site. You just can’t. I’m sure Rob Manfred is a nice guy. In fact, I’ve heard from people who have met him personally that he is. But I’m far from convinced that he even likes baseball. He attempts to appeal to the casual fan with rule changes that do nothing but bother the diehard fan. Every PR move he makes is a nightmare. To top it all off, he’s consistently blown every opportunity to grow the sport’s popularity. So Rob, if you decide you’d like to stop ruining our beautiful game, give me a call. I’d be happy to help.

I wouldn't object too strongly if Trump was annoyed that they weren't at Mar-A-Lago and decided to drop a nuke on them. I Worked at Fyre Festival. It Was Always Going to Be a Disaster. My job as a talent producer was to coordinate travel and on-site logistics with the artists who would be performing: Blink 182, Major Lazer, Disclosure, among others, had already signed on. I would be working with an 11-person team and a few of the festival executives. The production team was all new hires and, before we arrived, we were led to believe things had been in motion for a while. But nothing had been done. Festival vendors weren’t in place, no stage had been rented, transportation had not been arranged. Frankly, we were standing on an empty gravel pit and no one had any idea how we were going to build a festival village from scratch. So have they been taken hostage, and are the kidnappers threatening to release one an hour till their demands are met? Riggswolfe This is a bit unreal. I am curious to see how this all plays out in the long run. Though like the rest of you I have trouble feeling sorry for the rich kids who got scammed by this.

So they got around to arresting MacFarland for the whole Festival Fiasco. http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/01/us/fyre-festival-founder-charged/index.html Typically, he's being charged not with ripping off his customers, but with investor fraud. He is accused of misrepresenting his company's worth while securing investments, even up to the point of altering financial documents. I didn't realize the guy is just 25. I'm sure he was certain "this is just how it's done" but now the dumbass might actually get jail time. I know, some here will think that's impossible, but he's a young punk who may well get thrown to the wolves as an example. He's made a couple of high profile enemies here. Should have stayed with app-making... There's a pending class action lawsuit filed on behalf of the customers, so there may be more to come. The unfortunate part is that there may not be much money left for such a lawsuit to claw back. jgsugden Quote from: Strazos on July 02, 2017, 03:09:59 PM Yes, those unfortunate kids may have to ration their caviar, truffles and Cristal. 2020 will be the year I gave up all hope. Yes, I should have put unfortunate in quotations. caveat emptor, etc etc. Organizer of infamous failed Fyre Festival arrested for allegedly duping ticket buyers again By Mark Osborne Jun 13, 2018, 4:04 AM ET The organizer of the infamous Fyre Festival, a failed concert in the Bahamas in 2017 that went viral for its lack of success, has been charged with duping customers again. William McFarland, who is still awaiting sentencing for the failed festival, has now been charged by the Southern District of New York with selling tickets that did not exist to marquee sports and music events. McFarland ran the company NYC VIP Access, which advertised tickets to events such as the Met Gala, Burning Man, Coachella, the 2018 Grammy Awards and Super Bowl LII, despite not actually having any tickets to the events, according to the complaint unsealed Tuesday. McFarland was trying to sell the tickets in March, the same month he pleaded guilty to defrauding investors for the Fyre Festival, prosecutors allege. He has been charged with one count of wire fraud and one count of money laundering. Both carry sentences of up to 20 years in prison. "In March of 2018, William McFarland pled guilty to defrauding investors and vendors of the Fyre Festival, but it is apparent that he did not stop there," FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge William Sweeney Jr. said in a statement. "McFarland allegedly went on to sell fraudulent tickets to many grand events, totaling almost $100,000." According to the filing, McFarland tried to cover up his involvement in NYC VIP Access by using a then-employee's email account instead of his own, according to the filing. He tricked at least 15 people into buying the nonexistent tickets. The Fyre Festival garnered national headlines in April 2017 after being advertised as an idyllic getaway to the Bahamas, complete with gourmet food, luxury accommodations, performances by Ja Rule and Blink-182. The event was advertised on social media by Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid and other high-profile social media influencers. Tickets for the event cost thousands of dollars, but when attendees arrived they found poorly built tents, a lack of food and clean water and an insufficient number of public toilets. McFarland pleaded guilty in connection to the Fyre Festival fiasco on March 6 to one count of wire fraud after defrauding over 80 investors out of $24 million, and another count of wire fraud for lying to the company selling tickets, which took over $2 million in losses, according to the Southern District of New York. He faces up to 10 years in prison on those counts. Hulu announced in April it was producing a documentary series about the Fyre Festival. https://abcnews.go.com/US/organizer-infamous-failed-fyre-festival-arrested-allegedly-duping/story?id=55855742 So he's running for president in 2024?

CPA, CFO, Sports Fan, Game when I have the time McFarland charged with $27.4 million offering fraud: https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2018-141 Hulu has a documentary out about this clusterfuck, described as a true-crime comedy documentary. Netflix has one coming as well, and while I don't think I care enough to watch both, one might be entertaining. The Hulu one is apparently more about the con and the conman, the Netflix one about the horror of being rich and stuck on an island where the only food is two dirty slices of bread and a piece of lettuce. Brolan That might have some entertainment value. Reply #33 on: January 16, 2019, 08:48:44 AM I'm down for Netflix. Meh. I'm not down with either... esp the Netflix one.

The Laboratory is the actual space of my living and creation, for it is both my apartment and studio. By transferring it into the gallery context, Laboratory becomes an ambient in which the elements from everyday life – jars once filled with food – become exhibits of a creative artistic act. Physical food (pickles) transmutes into its origin – light. The transmuting process itself I have documented with drawings-diagrams. 1. The exposure Everyone of us has, at least once in a lifetime, wished to stroll through the city streets with an empty backpack on. To feel its meaning as it bounces merrily. Lightness is what one wishes to carry on the back! To sit on the grass, take the backpack off and spread it widely. To plunge the hand into its emptiness, take out an empty jar and, then, let the light in – thoroughly... 2. The plot The Laboratory is a workspace equipped for scientific and research experiments and testing. The space packed with everfull jars and test tubes that may contain anything, depending on the laboratory. Actually, the laboratory signifies every workspace (the word originates from the Latin words laboratorium – a workshop, and laborare – to work). Respectively, each work deserves an exact laboratory approach. Only the approach of total devotion will bear healthy fruits and that definitely does not come easy. It is a hard way of solitude of an enclosed space, a way full of risks for it is hardly possible to anticipate the directions in which the laboratory might turn. The significance of it is actually the everlasting metamorphosis - an unending experiment and inexhaustible trying. Still, even that, and only if genuine, carries certain principles within the rules. 3. The Climax Gloria Oreb's Laboratory shares that significance. To start more precisely from the beginning: There are twelve images made on bonded wooden plates along with empty objects – the jars sealed with golden lids. The images are divided into two sets of six plates. The six larger were made by using charcoal and black acrylic on the white background, while the six smaller, exactly half the size of the latter, were also created using ephemeral, organic material – chalk, that was, however, fixed with fixative on the black acrylic background. Therefore, the background matter itself is subject to the particular order, which describes the entire opus of Gloria Oreb. The same certainly happens to the fibreboard drawings. As in any research lab, they are transmuted into each other, to infinity. Again, the artist plays with the ambiguity of different symbols, and the circle is dominant – one can sense its vibrancy and movement in every draft. This time we might call this abstraction ''the living abstraction'', whereas the works from the Time and Space Triptych were entirely purified, fixed in time. The artist uses peculiar pictograms that resemble technical drawings (which is again the expression of order!) to capture the unmaterial and she simultaneously blends it into the material of her very specific, abstract drawings. While observing them, the division between abstraction and figuration seems superfluous because all of the primal symbols she uses are the forms of space. Even the origin itself, a pictogram from which the whole thing has developed, was a kind of fleeting, an elusive technical drawing and (non)figuration – the universe itself. Therefore, one should not classify or compare the work of Gloria Oreb since her drawing is omnipresent – comparable only to an endless, unfixed layout of everything that is eternally changing. 4. The Vicissitude Nevertheless, although the works of Gloria Oreb are ''read'' consecutively, they still deny the existence of time within those different directions and measures that are so significantly present inside of them. Accordingly, as the artist herself says, ‘’It is impossible to measure the immeasurable’’, and because they were created according to approximately ten-year-old sketches from which the various directions of her opus have already emerged. The theme remains the same: the idea, the thought, and the inner world of Gloria Oreb. Consequently, her lab is actually a work about the working (creating) process, and although her drawings seem technically precise, they are not. However, watching over the exact ratio of two smaller fiberboard plates, which make together the bigger one, one can even find among them the diameter of the emptied pickles-jars' layout, which the artist sets on the tables whose working surfaces reminds of the workshop/studio space. Another linking point between the jars and the fiberboards is the fact that they both were the integral parts of the workshop of this artist's life: She ate from the jars, and she slept on the fiberboards. Then again, the real space, the space of the meditative kitchen and the everyday life, correlates with the space of the inner world records on the drawings. They are actually one, indivisible space. The jars are something tangible coming out of the lab, as well as the fiberboard plates, but within the macrocosm of these drawings, they all seem unreal as if they belong to another time, dimension, world and space. Especially since they are empty (as opposed to the fiberboard plates filled with drawings which themselves are, paradoxically, filled with circular outlines of these same empty jars!). Interestingly enough, they don't provoke curiosity nor they question: ''What was once inside of them?'' at any moment, but only the feeling of liberation and enlightenment through the light, which is the Sun. The colour of gold that has always symbolized it, the colour of spiritualization and harmony, which used to take the angular form in previous artist's cycles, has taken the circular form of the jar lid. Besides, she herself was pasting the golden leaves onto the paintings' backgrounds of the Time and Space Triptych, thus taking performative/meditative approach to the process. This time, though, she bought the jar in a store and consumed its content. Nevertheless, these acts are tightly linked to the life process itself and, finally, to the Sun that represents it. 5. The Conclusion Earlier in the text, it has been remarked that only the approach of total devotion would bear healthy fruits in a laboratory. Moreover, what is more trusted than the Sun? It is diligent, genuine and precise. Gloria Oreb took the cucumbers, which are the products of the Sun, out of the jars in order to give an empty jar to the light itself. To the intangibility, that tangibility depends on. She laid before us the so-called ''unbearable lightness of being'' - an empty backpack and an empty jar that still needs ''kilometers'' of attention. After all, this is a laboratory. One has to stick around for a long, long time.

He noted that the areas and directorates of Bayda province are now enjoying security and stability after the defeat of elements of evil and terrorism. For their part, sheikhs and dignitaries of Al-Arif tribes expressed their appreciation for the revolutionary leadership, the Supreme Political Council and the supreme military command, for the attention and follow-up of everything that matters to citizens in various aspects of civilian service.

Ownership gives certain rights over material things, such as the right to own a car and to be able to decide about its use. Intellectual property also consists of a set of exclusive rights, but not to tangible things, such as a car, but to ‘the products of the mind’. By these ‘intellectual products’ we mean creative and intangible achievements, such as a story, a music composition, a design for a piece of furniture, a computer program or an invention. Certain distinctive signs, such as trademarks and geographical indications, are also considered intellectual property. While one may have a copy of a book in material ownership, this right will not necessarily include the intellectual property in it. As an owner, one can therefore read a book, color it, throw it away, etc., but one does not have the right to copy, reprint, place on the internet, make a film about it, etc. under the intellectual property and for the said acts the consent of the holder of these rights is required. Intellectual property rights give their holder a temporary exclusive exploitation right, valid for a certain territory. For example, the holder of the copyright to a book (note: not to the physical copy but to the intellectual, intangible content) will be the only person allowed to reproduce or market it. Just as the holder of an invention patent is the only one who is allowed to exploit this invention (eg by marketing a drug protected by a patent). The proprietor of a trademark is the only person authorized to market products bearing that trademark. i looked on the goverment site for extra information this it wat they said about intelectual property in the field of design, technology technology¶ Computer programs may be protected by copyright, and in some cases (if the computer program implies a technical invention) by patent law . Technical inventions, such as a new material or product, a more efficient machine, a better production process, etc. can be protected by a patent. design¶ Fashion, applied art, design objects, … can be protected by copyright and/or by design and design law. The shape of products (industrial or artisanal) can be protected by copyright, design and design law and trademark law. patent law¶ Before you it is very important that you don’t show your idea to the world. pro’s to a patent¶ a patent grants its holder an exclusive right to prohibit. This means that the holder has the right to prohibit third parties from using the invention without prior permission. If the patent holder does not wish to exploit the invention himself, he can always license his rights. -a patent can strengthen the bargaining power of its holder when considering a collaboration with other companies. For example, patenting an improvement on an existing invention increases the chance of obtaining a license for that earlier invention. Often, the owner of the patent on the earlier invention and the owner of the patent on its improvement will give each other permission to exploit their inventions, which is called a cross-license; if one wants to be active in a certain field, the possession of patents by third parties can be an obstacle, as their permission is required to use their invention. By being the first to file a patent application yourself, you ensure that no one else can prevent you from applying that specific invention based on their patent. So patenting your invention guarantees you a certain “freedom of action”. See Confidentiality and Disclosure Finally, a patent is very good advertising. As a result, third parties know that you are active in a specific field and that you are technologically strong in that sector Cons¶ taking out a patent on an invention is quite expensive, while the commercial success of an invention is not guaranteed when filing a patent application, you must describe the invention clearly and completely. This description can then be consulted by third parties. Disclosure of the invention may provide third parties with strategic information about your company, or enable them to try to improve the technologies you have invented. Taking a patent on an invention therefore stands in the way of secrecy; a patent is time-limited, which is not the case for secrecy. In some cases, secrecy can give you a competitive advantage over a longer period of time than a patent to guarantee you a certain freedom of action, you can also make your invention public. No one else can then apply for a patent on that invention, because the condition that it must be new is no longer met. creative commons¶ When we share, everyone wins! what do they do:¶ Provide Creative Commons licenses and public domain tools that give every person and organization in the world a free, simple, and standardized way to grant copyright permissions for creative and academic works; ensure proper attribution; and allow others to copy, distribute, and make use of those works -Work closely with major institutions and governments to create, adopt and implement open licensing and ensure the correct use of CC licenses and CC-licensed content Support the CC Global Network, a community initiative working to increase the volume, breadth, and quality of openly available knowledge worldwide -Steward the Open COVID Pledge, which calls on organizations around the world to make their patents and copyrights freely available in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. -Develop technology like CC Search that makes openly licensed material easier to discover and use -Offer the Creative Commons Certificate, an in-depth course for people interested in becoming experts in creating and engaging with openly licensed works -Produce CC Summit, an annual event that brings together an international group of educators, artists, technologists, legal experts, and activists to promote the power of open licensing and global access -Support global Open Education and GLAM communities The Creative Commons License Options¶ CC BY¶ This license allows reusers to distribute, remix, adapt, and build upon the material in any medium or format, so long as attribution is given to the creator.

__label__cc	0.72966	0.27034	Art as a Reflection of Current Reality \| Orkhan Huseynov By JDEED Team \| 27 April 2017 Orkhan Huseynov is an Azeri artist who graduated with a BA from the Faculty of Ceramic Designer at the Azerbaijan State Univesity after which he completed a Master’s degree at the Faculty of Art History and Theory at the Azerbaijan State Fine Art Academy in 2000. Dear Beloved, his latest solo exhibition is currently showing at the Yarat Contemporary Art Space (founded by Aida Mahmudova, one of Jdeed’s favourite artist) in Baku. JDEED wanted to know a little bit more about Orkhan and his work. Tell us a bit about your background and how you started in the Art field. I was born in a family of a graphic artist and the art world has been surrounding me since my childhood. Though I started my career in 1999 as a traditional artist (doing graphics and paintings), later I shifted to making works that is more based on a concept rather than visual aesthetics. My understanding of art process transformed from “handmade” to “mindmade”. How would define your aesthetic? I think I use aesthetics to attract/invite an audience to the idea or concept of the work. Purely visual art does not seem so interesting to me. Is your country, Azerbaijan, something that inspires you when you create? I think most of the artists work with the materials they have around themselves. I live and work in Azerbaijan and surrounding objects, people and actions influence me and give me some ideas, but I may find inspiration from different things and at various locations. Is Plexiglas a material that evokes something special to you? I used to work a lot in graphics and graphic design, so I like to work with simple graphic images. Plexiglas is a material that is easy to cut and transform to different shapes. The black Plexiglas reflects objects and light and also has deepness and blackness that is impossible to get with a paint on paper. Is Art a mean for you to express some deeper thoughts? Do you see it as a tool to spread a message? No, I don’t think about art as a tool to express deeper thoughts or to spread any message. I prefer to think about art as a reflection of current reality. It reflects ideas and thoughts which are not necessarily true or deep. To me, the most important thing in art is its quality. What are your future projects and ambitions? Now I have my solo show Dear Beloved exhibiting at Yarat Centre in Baku. I plan to expand my new video series, as well as working on a couple of projects on Kufi script and history of Islamic Science. http://jdeedmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/orkhan.mp4 Extract of the the launch video of Dear Beloved If you want to know more about Orkhan, click here Related ItemsartazerbaijanazeriFeaturedorkhan huseynov ← Previous Story Gifted Hands \| Aziz Al Mudhaf Next Story → A visionary Industrial Designer \| Hamza Omari “Absence Presence” : Remembering the missing people of the Lebanese Civil War through art CAMA Gallery: From Tehran to London ART DUBAI 2018 \| Galleries on our radar	cc/2022-05/en_middle_0094.json.gz/line54

Fell Avenue Built Circa 1870 Local landmark designation, May 15, 2000 In the 1870s, the land along Broadway and Fell between Irving and Virginia - together with adjacent areas on Virginia Avenue, Florence, Hester and Payne’s Place - belonged to two of the Fell brothers, Jesse and Kersey. Jesse’s 15-acre estate, "Greenwood," occupied the northern-most portion, and Kersey owned the entire section between what are now Vernon and Virginia avenues. When this area was developed in the 1880s it became known as the Kersey H. Fell Addition; Kersey may have in fact been the developer. According to the 1890, City Directory, Kersey H. Fell, retired lawyer, was living on the southeast corner of Fell and Virginia at that time. The house that stands on this corner (1202 South Fell) would seem to date from about 1870, and was evidently Kersey Fell’s house in 1890. 102 S. Linden Street 202 W.

Indeed, it is no exaggeration to say that his life epitomises a tenacity of purpose. His ability as a strategist and winner has never been in doubts. Indeed, every move he makes, either in his business or private life, has never escaped the attention of newshounds. He is a delight to professional journalists and biographers. If you choose to write about his uncommon feats as a businessman, you will come up with volumes of work that will most likely intimidate a bibliophile. In the same way, if you choose to document his philanthropic acts, in black and white, your hand may grow tired. Whenever the businessman dabbles into any business, it usually becomes a major story not only in the media, online and traditional media but among other business owners, the elite as well as those on the streets. The Lagos born business mogul once again showcased his milk of kindness as he promised Nigeria’s football team, the Super Eagles at the on going African Cup of Nations, AFCON, the sum of $250, 000 if they win the trophy. The message was delivered today by government delegation to Cameroon led by the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele. You will recall that the man with heart of gold gave out the sum of $50,000 to the Super Eagles at the 2019 edition of AFCON. The team lost at the Semi Finals to Algeria though. This latest effort by Otedola has further foregrounded his abiding fellow-feeling and love for humanity. In the past years, Otedola had put smiles on the faces of a number of eminent Nigerians , including the late musician Majek Fashek; Christian Chukwu, a former captain and coach of the Super Eagles; Peter Fregene, a former Tagged African Cup of Nations Femi Otedola Super Eagles of Nigeria Breaking: ‘Fight’ In Super Eagles Camp As Iheanacho, Onyekuru Engage In A Scuffle (Video) – Naijanewsdirect by Tunde Ogunmola - January 10, 2022 January 10, 2022 0 As the Super Eagles of Nigeria prepare to take on the Egyptian national team tomorrow at the ongoing African Cup of Nations, a video has surfaced online showing Super Eagles star, Kelechi Iheanacho and Henry Onyekuru engaging in a playful fight.

Tagged Austin Eguavoen Gernot Rohr Nigeria Football Federation Super Eagles Liberia vs Nigeria: Referee’s Poor Decision Against Nigeria That Needed A Review From VAR – Naijanewsdirect by Tunde Ogunmola - November 13, 2021 November 13, 2021 0 The Super Eagles won Liberia as they extended their lead at their group table. It was a well deserved victory for Genort Rohr men as they were the better team both defensively and offensively. They completed the double against the Lone Stars, they already won 2-0 in the first leg and won 2-0 in the second leg. Following the match up, there was a referee decision made against Nigeria that would have needed a look from the Video assistant referee. Unfortunately, the Video assistant referee isn't used in African football and Liberia went away with that one. Victor Osimhen put Nigeria in the lead after he scored from the penalty spot. Kelechi Iheanacho was tripped by Liberia's goalkeeper and won the penalty for the Super Eagles. Victor Osimhen put the penalty away sending the goalkeeper the wrong way. Minutes after Osimhen opened the scoring, Jamilu Collins had the ball in the net but he was ruled out for offside. Kelechi Iheanacho played a brilliant ball through to Jamilu Collins who scored a brilliant goal but the goal was ruled out. There's actually no need to have a look from VAR's perspective, Collins was clearly onside before Kelechi Iheanacho passed the ball. Liberia's last defender was about a step ahead of Jamilu Collins before he received the pass, that's never an offside and it wasn't the best decision from the referee. It's high time the Confederation of African Football introduces VAR. In recent times, we've seen situations that should have a second review but the referee decision is always the final say in these situations.

__label__wiki	0.522081	0.522081	[Main] [About NPMCC] [Forms] [Members] [Editorials].[Archives].[Minutes]. [Ethnic Media] [.Contact] . Council of Canadian Government!! Post-election Canada and the New Liberal Government By William Doyle-Marshall Tears of joy and disappointment have been wiped off many faces. Lawn signs and other campaign material are being removed to be stored up for another run at this four-year game. Yes, that’s what veterans do because election campaigns cost lots of money and we finance the undertaking in the hope that next time things will be better. While Stephen Harper goes off and do whatever he wishes in his retirement members of the new parliament would have to fix everything he broke and that starts with a lot of things that are non-partisan, Elizabeth May, the lone Green Party Member in parliament, says. They would have to think of repairing the damage and rebuilding the kind of country they want, starting with cooperation in the parliament, May believes. This chore is now in the hands of Justin Trudeau’s Liberal team; the Conservatives without Harper; Thomas Mulcair and his reduced New Democratic Party line-up and the one-woman Green Party of Elizabeth May. Anxious Canadians listen to promises!!!! Political parties made promises as they campaigned to gain voters’ confidence. We heard what would be done to improve living conditions of First Nations’ communities; raise in minimum wage to $15.00 an hour; environmental improvements; rejection of the Trans Pacific Partnership agreement; they will do something for students about debt and possibly abolish tuition, money will be spent on infrastructure, culture and sensible economic development initiatives. Now you the voters (who are the employers of these politicians) in government and opposition have to keep very close tabs on their affairs. Your involvement here is essential. The term ‘holding them accountable’ must have serious meaning. And yes, there are things you can do. Get community groups together for action. If every citizen takes a small step and let these parliamentarian know they are on probation, things will be better. Fran Hunt-Jinnouchi and Frances Littman As far as Elizabeth May is concerned it’s time for all Canadians to make sure they are thinking about the collective well-being of the country as a whole not the middleclass versus the billionaires class, versus the poor. Simply put, it is time to pull together. “So in that spirit we are advocating something that I think is a brilliant notion: the Council of Canadian Governments,” May contends. It exists in Australia that is a lot like Canada – Commonwealth country with divisions between the State governments and federal government. The Green Party Leader visualizes federal, provincial and local government around the same table to serve all the big goals. Canada currently has no energy policy, no transportation policy, no education policy, no cultural policy, no housing policy, no manufacturing policy. “We have adhocary with each level of government pulling in different directions. No wonder people think: how come I am paying taxes municipally, provincially, federally and those levels of government don’t seem to be willing to work together,” she observes. The Council of Canadian Governments would be all about pulling together: federal government, provincial, territorial, representation from municipal government, not every Mayor in Canada but a good representation at a seat at the table for First Nations, Metis and Inuit leadership looking at all big picture questions. Then when we establish a goal, we are all pulling in the same direction. “It doesn’t need to open the constitution to do this, it just needs to say that maybe the constitution as devised in 1867 doesn’t work all that well in 2015. So we think our ideas are good ones. We hope and actually I am quite certain other parties will follow and pick up on these ideas. The Green Party’s platform in regards to short term and long term on refugees and immigrants: calls for an overhaul of Canada’s policy. There are 50 streams to be able to come into Canada and we need to be able to help to streamline policies when we have refugees and when we have immigrants so that the process for them to become citizens, there needs to be a way, says Fran Hunt-Jinnouchi, the unsuccessful candidate for Cowichan-Malahat-Langford. She insists there is a need to ensure that the skills and the education that immigrants and refugees are bringing are recognized quicker. Trudeau said unequivocally since his election, his government plans to welcome 25,000 refugees by next year. But May would prefer 40,000. “We have always been a country of humanitarian and helpers,” Hunt-Jinnouchi contends. She told a Victoria gathering she needs only to put herself in the situation of the women and grand ma’s running with their children, running from the war and having bombs and shellfire on them. She regrets Canada was part of starting that. “We dropped four air strikes so we can’t be involved in war and not expect people are going to try to find peace and shelter. So it’s very mixed messaging and like no other time our Prime Minister is putting that fear mongering with smoke screens about niqab and whatever to get people afraid,” Hunt-Jinnouchi continues.	cc/2022-05/en_middle_0094.json.gz/line93

Monster Gods Location(s) Muncie, Indiana [[{{{prevep}}}\|« Previous Episode]] \| [[{{{nextep}}}\|Next Episode »]] A storm forces the boys off the highway, and they check into the The Elysian Fields Hotel - an unusually plush four star establishment. As they are opening their room, they see an amorous couple enter the room next to them. Shortly after there is a commotion from the room, but when the boys enter, the couple is gone. The manager at the front desk is evasive, and Sam decides to keep tabs on him, while Dean uses his EMF to see if there is any supernatural activity. As he passes one room he sees an elephant picking up a towel, but when he returns it is simply a man in a towel. Investigating the hotel kitchen, they find a soup full of eyeballs, and then a number of people locked in the cool room. As they try to free the guests, Zao Shen and Baron Samedi capture them. In a conference room, gods from many religions are gathered. Baldur sets some ground rules for their behavior, and he and Kali outline how they have gathered everyone together to address the fact that the Judeo-Christain Apocalypse as started by Lucifer threatens the Earth. They have captured Sam and Dean, who they know are vessels, to use as bargaining chips. Gabriel turns up at the meeting - the gods know him as Loki, the Trickster and don't realize he is an archangel. Gabriel explains to Sam and Dean he is there to save them, and that he once had a relationship with Kali, and doesn't want her or the other gods killed. Gabriel tells Sam and Dean that Kali has bound Sam and Dean to her with a blood spell.

In it Gabriel tells them they may be able to re-imprison Lucifer, and that the keys to his cage are the rings of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse of which they already have those of War and Famine. A final scene shows the arrival of a very sickly Pestilence, accompanied by a swarm of flies.

Dean: [appraising Kali] How you doin'? Kali: No. Dean: But... Dean: Oh, lady, I'm just, you know... Kali: I understand. And, no. Dean: Please be tomato soup, please be tomato soup. (finds eyeballs in the soup) Motel Hell. Baldur: Some ground rules: No slaughtering each other. Curb your wrath. Oh, and keep your hands off the local virgins, we're trying to keep a low profile here. Sam: Gods?... Oh, we are so, so screwed. Baldur: We all know why we're here - the Judeo-Christian Apocalypse looms over us. Odin: I don't know what everybody's getting so worked up about! 'Cause it's just a couple of angels having a slap fight! There's no Armageddon. Everybody knows, when the world comes to an end, the Great Serpent Jormungandr rises up, and I myself will be eaten by a big wolf! [laughs] Zao Shen: [sighs] Here we go... Odin: Oh yeah? And why is that? Because your beliefs are so much more realistic? The whole world's getting carried around on the back of a giant turtle? Ha! Give me a break! Zao Shen: Don't mock my world turtle. Odin: What are you gonna do about it? Zao Shen: I'm gonna send you packing to Valhalla! Odin: You watch your mouth when you talk to me, boy! Zao Shen: Boy? I'm older than you. Odin: No one's ever proved that. Sam: By the way, next time I say "let's keep driving," uh... let's keep driving! Sam: Do we have a chance? Against Satan? Dean: Really, Sam? Sam: You got a better idea, Dean? Gabriel: It's a bad idea. Lucifer's gonna turn them into finger-paint. Gabriel: I know my brother, Kali. And he should scare the living crap out of you. Dean: All right, you primitive screwheads, listen up. Sam: Are you out of your mind? Dean: I'm out of options. Dean: We can either take on the Devil together, or you lame-ass bitches can eat me. Literally. Dean: There's nothing natural about this at all. I thought you were dead. Gabriel:You think I'd give Kali my real sword? That thing can kill me. Dean: Then what do they have in there? Gabriel: A fake. Made it out of a can of Diet Orange Slice. Kali: So you're going to summon Lucifer? Sam: Sort of. I just need you to squeegee some stuff from my ribs and he'll come running. Kali: Breaking them would be easier. Lucifer: You know, I never understood you pagans. You're such petty little things. Always fighting, always happy to sell out your own kind, no wonder you forfeited this planet to us. You are worse than humans. You're worse than demons. And yet you claim to be gods. (snaps Mercury's neck) And they call me prideful. Gabriel: Lucifer... you are my brother, and I love you. But you are a great big bag of dicks. Lucifer: What did you say to me? Gabriel: Look at yourself... Boo hoo, Daddy was mean to me, so I'm gonna smash up all his toys. Lucifer: Watch your tone. Gabriel: Play the victim all you want, but you and me, we know the truth. Dad loved you best, more than Michael, more than me. Then he brought the new baby home and you couldn't handle it. So all of this is just a great big temper tantrum. Time to grow up. Lucifer: Amateur hocus pocus? Don't forget, you learned all your tricks from me, little brother. Gabriel: Without me, you got zero shot at killing Lucifer. Sorry. But... you can trap him. The cage you sprung Lucifer from, it's still down there, and maybe, just maybe, you can shove his ass back in. Not that it'll be easy. You got to get the cage open, trick my bro back into it, and oh yeah, avoid Michael and the God Squad. But hey - details, right? And here's the big secret, Lucifer himself doesn't even know. But the key to the cage, it's out there. Actually it's keys, plural, four keys. Well, four rings from the Horsemen. You get 'em all, you got the cage. Dean: Horsemen, huh? Well we got War's... And we nicked Famine's. That's two rings down. Collect all four? All we need is Pestilence and Death. Sam: Oh, is that all? The title "Hammer of the Gods" is a play on a reference in the Led Zeppelin single "Immigrant Song" in the lyric, "The hammer of the gods/will drive our ships to new lands" - an allusion to the hammer of the Norse god Thor. Led Zeppelin's sound subsequently was sometimes referred to as the "Hammer of the Gods." The phrase was also the title of biography of the band. The idea of gods from different traditions coming together in America was the basis for Neil Gaiman's book American Gods. Eric Kripke has talked about Gaiman's novels and his Sandman comic series being a big influence on his work (Source). The episode takes place at The Elysian Fields motel. In Greek mythology, the Elysian Fields are located in the Elysium section of the Underworld and are the resting place of the good and the heroic. There are ten gods present at the Elysian Fields Hotel. Among those who are identified or have speaking roles in the episode: Mercury, Ganesh, Odin, Kali, Baron Samedi, Baldur, and Zao Shen. Along with the goddess Isis and two unnamed gods in non-speaking roles. Twelve guests are present at the formal gathering, including Sam and Dean, making Loki the thirteenth to show up when he crashes the party. This corresponds to a story from Norse mythology centering around a feast to which the trickster was not invited, and at which Baldur was killed. (Source) The Elysian Fields Hotel being a hotel that seems to be perfect but then reveals itself to be a gilded cage from which you can't escape is very reminiscent of the Eagles' 1977 song Hotel California and its eponymous hotel. Dean: And you keep an eye on Norman Bates here. Norman Bates was the creepy serial killing owner of the Bates Motel in the Hitchcock movie Psycho. Dean: Like full-on Babar. Babar is the main character in an eponymous series of books - about elephants. Babar was also mentioned in 5.11 Sam, Interrupted. Dean: Something tells me this isn't a Shriner convention. Shriners International, formerly known as the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, is an appendant body to Freemasonry. The scene where Dean sees Ganesh in elephant form is a literal play on the popular phrase "the elephant in the room", which is a metaphor for an obvious truth or problem that is being ignored or not being addressed. Gabriel later uses the phrase when he arrives at the meeting: Baldur: Why are you here? Gabriel: To talk about the elephant in the room. [Ganesh looks upset and begins to get out of his chair] Not you! Dean: [after fishing eyeballs out of a pot of soup]] Motel Hell. Motel Hell is a 1980 comedy horror spoof which sent up movies like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. In the movie a brother and sister capture people at their motel and use them to produce smoked meat. The eyeball soup recalls the dinner party scene in the movie Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. In that movie, the villains are members of a Thuggee cult in India that worships Kali, who is one of the gods that appears in this episode. Gabriel: (to Dean) I'm the Costner to your Houston. In the movie The Bodyguard Kevin Costner plays the bodyguard to Whitney Houston's character. The others know Gabriel by his cover identity as the Trickster or Loki Gabriel: Me and Kali, we had a thing... Chick was all hands. In Indian mythology, Kali is depicted as having multiple arms, ranging from 4 to 10 depending on which portrayal. Gabriel: So I got wings, like Kotex. Kotex makes feminine hygiene products, including pads with "wings" to help keep them in place. Kali: If anyone gets to end this world, it's me. In Indian mythology, Kali is a destroyer. The scene in which Kali chokes Mercury during the meeting is very similar to Darth Vader's choking scenes in the Star Wars movies. Dean: Or we tell the Legion of Doom about your secret identity. The Legion of Doom is a group of supervillains who are the nemeses of the Super Friends, created by DC Comics. Gabriel: Good luck with that. Me? I'm blowing Jonestown. Jonestown was the name of a community in the forest in Guyana run by cult leader Jim Jones, where he lived with approximately 1,000 followers. In 1978, Jones ordered his followers to commit "revolutionary suicide" by drinking Flavor Aid laced with cyanide (often misidentified as Kool Aid), resulting in the deaths of more than 900 people. This incident is the origin for the phrase "drinking the Kool Aid," which is a metaphor for accepting an order, argument, philosophy, or belief without question (and a recurring theme and issue in Supernatural, although this specific expression has never been used in an episode as of this writing.) Gabriel: I mean, screw this marble. Let's go check out Pandora. Pandora was the home of the Na'vi in James Cameron's 2009 movie Avatar Pandora is also the name of an inner satellite, or moon, of Saturn. Marble may also be referencing the end of the movie Men in Black [1] when the earth is revealed to be a marble. This line is a quote from the movie Army of Darkness aka Evil Dead III. The line is used by Ash (Bruce Campbell) when explaining to peasants about his rifle after being sent back in time to the Dark Ages to retrieve the Necronomicon. It's a classic, really. Lucifer killing Odin by stomping on his head is similar to how Bruce Lee finishes off several opponents in the movie Enter the Dragon. Gabriel: Lucy, I'm home. The greeting of Ricky Ricardo when he got home from work in the 1950s sitcom series I Love Lucy. In fandom, Lucifer is sometimes referred to as "Lucy" or "Luci." Gabriel: And you should see the Spearmint Rhino. The Spearmint Rhino is a franchise of upmarket strip clubs. Mercury: Best pie in the tri-state area. Continuing the long-running joke about references to pie in the show, as well as foreshadowing danger. Dean: There's somebody behind me, isn't there? This line is reminiscent to a scene from the movie City Slickers, and is an old gag used in countless other movies and TV shows. It is a running joke on the crime procedural NCIS, where the charter of Gibbs often approaches without warning while other characters are talking about him. In Pantomime audience participation often takes the form of calling out "He's behind you!" After impaling Baldur with his right fist, Lucifer spends the rest of the scene with blood nearly to his elbow, reminiscent of the song "Red Right Hand" by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds. In the middle of the episode there was an insert ad for the Ghostfacers Web Series. In this episode we get our first look at Pestilence. He drives a green car with Nevada license plate SIKN TRD ("sick and tired"). The hotel room in the Casa Erotica DVD is 69. The cashier that gets infected by Pestilence in the closing scene appears in the ER room in 5.20 The Devil You Know. Mercury's name tag actually says 'Chet', a reference to Steve Buscemi's unsettling bellhop character in the film Barton Fink. 5.19 Hammer of the Gods (Transcript) Title and casting call from SpoilerTV Special Guest Star Interview with guest star Fan video from shooting location Episode synopsis from SpoilerTV CW Promo Episode Sneak Peak Space TV promo clip Interview with Richard Speight Interview with Adam Croasdell - Baldur Retrieved from "http://supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=5.19_Hammer_of_the_Gods&oldid=127965"	cc/2022-05/en_middle_0094.json.gz/line101
