Are you planning to undergo Breast Reduction Surgery in Abu Dhabi & Dubai? What was the first question that came into your mind when you think of getting a boob reduction surgery? Now, if you think like me, I am sure you want to guess the breast reduction surgery cost/price in Dubai/Abu Dhabi, and that is quite understandable. In this day and age, we all are living on a budget and this procedure seems a luxury to most of us. But, it will definitely feel fabulous to get rid of that back pain, underboob blisters, unwanted stares and ill-fitting clothes.
Like any other cosmetic procedure, cost of breast reduction surgery varies significantly from one individual to the other depending on a couple of factors such as surgeon, clinic, desired results, technique etc.
Factors Influencing the Cost of Breast Reduction Surgery
There are several factors that affect Breast Reduction Surgery Cost or price in Dubai/Abu Dhabi. Here are a few of them;
Technique Used
The cost or price of the surgery primarily depends on the technique you choose. There are a couple of techniques from liposuction to fat melting shots and fat grafting. The choice of the technique can add to or subtract from the average cost.
Surgeon's Expertise
Experience and surgical skills of the surgeons you choose for the procedure also play a key role in determining your cost the procedure. A highly skilled, experienced surgeon with a good repute will obviously charge you more as compared to an inexperienced cosmetic surgeon who has just started with breast reduction surgeries.
Surgery Facility
Breast reduction surgery is performed under general anesthesia, unlike some other cosmetic procedures. It is necessary that you opt for a state of the art facility/ surgery venue where the surgery could be performed. Few of the breast surgeons have their own private surgical suites while others hire services of a hospital. The latter will charge you more as compared to ASC, while the former will cost you least.
Other Expenses
Various other factors that play a vital role in determining cost/price of Breast reduction surgery in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. They include:
- Anesthesia fees for the procedure
- Geographical location of the service provider
- Prescriptions for medication
- Post-surgery care
- Expected results
- Any possible complications
Breast Reduction Cost
Dubai Cosmetic Surgery Clinic also offers breast reduction surgery at highly competitive rates. Average cost/price of Breast Reduction is AED 35,000 or $9,537. However, they can vary depending on the above mentioned parameters.

I remember little Elementary School plays.
I was never out to be the lead. I was comfortable accepting a supporting role or a walk-on/non-speaking role.
But, I believe a lot of us clamored a bit for that spotlight. Maybe you were one of those that did above and beyond to stand out for the lead roles.
The night of the performance, emotions are high. Parents and grandparents fill the room, cameras in hand, whispering to other parents what parts their children have in the production. Each exchanging several adjectives describing their child and how they've spent weeks preparing for this night.
Lights dim.
Spotlight ready.
Curtain goes up.
Music begins.
And so begins several scenes. The actors, the stage hands, the background, all collide in a dance that represents weeks of preparation and careful planning.
I was reading Revelation this morning.
Talk about a book filled to overflowing with dramatic scenes and characters. This book takes the Oscar for Best Picture, for sure.
There's this heavenly scene in chapters 4 and 5 that pierced my heart through.
John is transported to Heaven, in the Spirit.
He begins describing the scene. First, he's instantly taken with the "someone" on the throne.
This being had the appearance of "jasper and carnelian" (vs.3), which is the color of red, for those of you who aren't aware.
The jasper represents Gods holiness and carnelian, His wrath.
A rainbow surrounded the throne and had the appearance of an emerald. We all know that emeralds are green, but I bet you didn't know that they represent Gods grace and mercy. It's a promise and it's never-ending.
He describes these creatures filled with eyes, the sights and sounds that are coming from the throne, and the never-ending song of the creatures:
"Holy, holy, holy
Lord God, the Almighty
who was, and is, and is to come."
Day and night they sing. And day and night they cast their crowns before His throne. Never bored. Never weary from this loop of adoration.
Here's the part where we come in.
There's a scroll in God's hand, sealed with seven seals. An angel loudly shouts for someone to open the scroll. But, no one, both in Heaven and on earth was worthy to do so.
John begins to weep uncontrollably because no one is found worthy to do this task.
Then, the Lamb of God is found standing in the midst of the throne. The climax of the scene. Every moment prior has led up to this.
He takes the scroll out of God's hand.
The four eye-filled creatures and the twenty-four elders begin bowing down in worship to the Lamb.
"Each one of them had both a harp and golden bowls (plural) filled with incense, which are the prayers of the saints." (5:8)
And there we are.
Thats our part in this breathtaking scene.
Just a little puff of smoke. So insignificant. Held in these spectacular bowls of pure gold, we are the puffs of air rising to the throne of God.
Do you understand how incredible, and yet, extremely humbling this is?
Here the God of Creation is surrounded by glory. Sounded by songs and light and perfection and beauty and indescribable things. And while He's being praised, night and day, day and night, without ceasing, here we are: little puffs of smoke coming from the bowls of the creatures who sing beautiful songs of holiness to Him without ceasing.
And yet, YET, He includes our prayers, our words, in this scene of glory and worship.
He loves to hear from those who follow Him so much, that He includes our words in the ultimate worship scene of Heaven.
And the fact that He's never too "overwhelmed" by all this action to not take it all in. The singing, the prayers, the setting...it would all be too much for us human folk.
Yikes. I get to "going to implode" status if two kids are talking at once, music is playing in the background, and I'm trying to send my husband a text message. I nearly scream from the overload.
But, not our God. Our God is immeasurably perfect and sustaining and beyond our full understanding, that a scene like this is just a regular day to Him. It's His Home. It's why we need to remember how big He is and how nothing we are.
So. I ask you now; how do you plan to add yourself to that scene today?
How long has it been since you talked to your Creator? Because, He clearly loves to listen to you. It's part of His continuous worship service.
And how can you humble yourself today? Remember, you're just this little supporting role. A speck of air. A poof of smoke. Not dazzling. Not glorious by any stretch. Yet, this amazing God we serve sees our speaking to Him as important enough to put our names in His playbill.
Meditate on this today.
And maybe, you can just join the beings in that throne room and sing the words that they never stop singing:
"Holy, holy, holy
is the Lord God Almighty
who was, and is, and is to come."

I made these cupcakes for Mothering Sunday. They fitted the bill of my mantra – big impact, minimal effort. OK, sometimes I like to go all out and spend hours rolling and piping; but for the most part I'm running late, or fall asleep whilst the cake is cooling and wake up with half an hour to shower and decorate a cake, somehow presentable.
The only thing is with these cakes, is that you need to start at least the night before you want to offer them, so that the butterflies have time to dry out. Otherwise, they will just flop and won't have the same fluttering effect :). Other than that, these pretty cakes are easy as pie. In fact, they're easier than pie.
For the cupcakes, I used a basic recipe from VeganYumYum which gave nice golden, almondy cupcakes. I then simply rolled out some ready made white fondant icing about 1/2 cm thick and cut out little butterflies with a cookie cutter. I placed them on a grill rack, in between the slats. I left them overnight to dry.
The next morning, I made up a little icing with some natural lilac paste colouring.
I cut domes off of the cake to create a flattened surface.
I used glitter icing pens to decorate the dried butterflies with dots and stripes. I doused the cakes with icing sugar, then placed a teaspoon of the lilac icing on top before positioning a butterfly in the icing, and left to set.
I used roughly 200g fondant icing for 12 butterflies. I used 100g icing sugar mixed with 2tsp water and gradually added dabs of colour.
The chickies helped too! (From back to front; Layla, Trixie and Lynxie).

The last thing I want to do on a Sunday is prepare an elaborate meal, unless there's a special holiday coming up which is what I'll be doing next week Sunday for Easter. During those times I don't mind since I love the times spent with family but most of the time, I just want to chill out on a Sunday. Get up, walk the dog, make breakfast with some strong Bustelo coffee, watch the Sunday news and kick back. I might make plans to go into the city to check out an artsy or foodie event but if I stay in I want to make easy meals. Sometimes I'll make large quantities so I can have some for dinner or lunch during the week and this is one of those dishes! The all too familiar spaghetti and meatballs but kicked up with a little heat and made with ground chicken…for an easy Sunday dinner.
I usually have beef meatballs but wanted to try chicken instead for a much healthier version….AND with all the pink slime talk I've kind of been turned off by ground beef again. I don't know why people are flipping out because it really isn't new news but guess with of all the attention it's getting it's fresh on everyone's mind. Ever since that book came out, Fast Food Nation, I've been eating less red meat and processed foods in general. It's all about moderation and buying foods from stores and butchers you trust so I say, eat what you like, just make informed choices. OK, so back to the meatballs…
After you make your meatballs, refrigerate them since you'll need to make your sauce next and it will need to simmer it for at least 30 minutes. OR you can start your sauce first and then make your meatballs while sauce is simmering. Basically you want the flavors to blend well together. Place the lid on while simmering.
Place the meatballs into the sauce carefully, you don't want them to break apart. Ladle the sauce over each meatball so they're covered and cook for another 30 minutes.
I always thought meatballs were so complicated but just look how simple it is. I'd say the most difficult part or laborious part, since it wasn't difficult at all, was rolling each meatball…and really, who can't do that?
Serve it family style, with a salad, some crusty Italian bread, and a nice bottle of wine and just chill out and enjoy your Sunday evening.
Serrano Chile Chicken Meatballs and Spaghetti
1 lb ground chicken
1/2 onion, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 serrano chile pepper, diced
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp turmeric
In a bowl add the ground chicken, onion, garlic, chile pepper, and bread crumbs and mix well. In a separate bowl beat the egg then add the salt, black pepper, cumin and turmeric and mix well. Add the egg mixture to the meat and mix well.
Make the meatballs by spooning meat into hand and rolling. You should have about 12 golf ball sized meatballs.
After you make the sauce and it has simmered for 30 minutes, add the meat balls to the spicy tomato sauce and simmer for another 30 minutes.
Make spaghetti according to directions on the box, drain and spoon the meatballs over it.
Spicy Tomato Sauce
1 30 oz can tomato sauce
1 15 oz can diced tomatoes
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 onion, diced
2 jalapenos, sliced
4 basil leaves, ripped apart
1 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp ground black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
In a large pot (large enough to hold all meatballs), heat up oil on high heat. Add onion and let cook until translucent. Stir in jalapenos then add the tomato sauce and the diced tomatoes. Mix well then add the garlic, basil leaves, salt, sugar, and black pepper. Turn heat down to low, cover pot and let sauce simmer on low heat for about 1/2 hour.
You can make it spicier by adding extra jalapenos and serrano chiles but I really like this heat level, you can taste all the ingredients in the meatballs and the sauce.
Serve with spaghetti or make meatball hoagies, either way its a great meal!

The company is called The Adult App Store, and they just rolled out a new app called iPornStudio. It's not the first adult app for the popular handheld device, but it's one of the few.
Because of Apple's standing ban on adult apps, anyone who would want to pay the 1 pound for it would have to "crack" their own iPhone to use it.
But that's not stopping the Adult App Store team. Company representative Ben told XBIZ that they're happy to add to the modest adult app library if only to "put one in the face of Apple." He also said that his company is "in talks" to develop apps for specific adult companies, though he didn't give any names.
"There is definitely [the room] to make a lot of money in this area, even without being official," he said. "We are able to setup payment systems and download services for nonofficial apps, and the scene here is still very big."
The "scene" he's referring to is the iPhone app scene, which has seen hundreds of millions of downloads — and a comparable amount of money — made. The black market for iPhone apps has many portals, including NativeiPhoneApps.com.
That said, there's still the matter of cracking an iPhone. The Adult App Store's Ben recommended this tutorial, but there many others.
Cracking an iPhone risks incurring the wrath of Apple, which has previously dispatched code to turn cracked iPhones into useless bricks.
That didn't stop tech analyst Tim Wu from cracking his iPhone, though.
"Unlocking works, is doable, and improves the iPhone," Wu wrote for Slate.com. "But while unlocking can be fun, it's still a vaguely scary process, a little like installing your own car brakes."
Other adult apps available for cracked iPhones include iBrate, which turns the device into a makeshift vibrator; Kama Sutra Training; iPhone Porn Grid; and One Tap Porn.

Retire on a Houseboat
Recently I got a crazy bug to retire on a houseboat. As I was thinking about how much I would need to retire, it seemed like a viable solution to stretching my retirement money. To tell the honest truth, I've been dreaming about houseboat living since I was 18.
Way back in the 60's when I was going to junior college, I would drive right past the plant that manufactured the "Surfside–6" houseboats. They were popular then. I would often stop and just watch through the fence as they were building houseboats. One houseboat was featured in an old TV show about a couple of guys that lived in Miami Beach on a houseboat. Naturally, there were girls, and adventures and such and it always just seemed like a neat idea. The name of the TV show— "Surfside 6″
Houseboat Living
One day, back then, I saw a houseboat for sale in the paper. It was parked on New River in downtown Ft. Lauderdale. Wow, I thought, they only want two-thousand bucks. So, I called a friend and easily convinced him of my great idea, and, then and there, we decided to go in on it together. I quickly contacted the owner and advised to stop by the next day and look at it. Well, the next day, as I approached my future floating bachelor pad something was wrong. The old wooden pontoon boat had sprung a leak over-night and the boat was slowly tilting into the abyss. I stood there, staring at the boat for what seemed like forever. And as it slowly went down into the murky water, so did my enthusiasm for houseboat living. I suddenly lost the desire to have everything I owned in an old leaky barge.
Well, that was decades ago, and I guess time has dimmed the lesson learned that day and I'm ready to possibly try again. (maybe I need a tin foil hat)
When I think about wanting to retire on a houseboat I'm not quite sure if I would end up as Captain Courageous or Sponge-Bob-Square-Pants, but I can't get this idea out of my mind. And, as it turns out, I'm not alone.
The urge to float on water must be buried deep in our genetics. The internet is full of stories about guys (and some gals) who have turned their backs on dry land and set out to live on the open water, or at least the water around the dock. Some buy a boat, and some build their own. And there is a different design for almost everyone.
Types of houseboats
One of my favorite little designs is the Aqua Casa. A design by Berkeley Engineering. This is one of the simplest and yet functional small houseboats going. The design incorporates years of experience in boat design into a smart little floating home. Their site has plans for building one yourself or links to some for sale. While I would take issue with their estimated $3,500 dollar cost to build one, I think it would be a deal at twice that. I know folks that have put way more than that in a fishing boat but can't stop in the middle of the lake and cook the fish they catch. This design offers both. I could spend a couple of weeks on this but probably not live full-time. If you are interested (and who isn't) you can see some super great pictures and find out all about it at Aqua Casa
For the more adventurous soul perhaps a "shantyboat" is what you need. Harkening back to the time of paddlewheel riverboats and Huck-Finn rafts, shantyboats come in the oddest shapes and sizes. Varying from no more than a wooden box on barrels to really comfortable houseboats, people have built an almost unimaginable array of floating stuff. Some of the more rugged folks have strapped a small motor on the back and gone all the way down the Mississippi. Traveling by day and pulling over at night to camp and rest, often within walking distance of downtown amenities, they create some amazing vacation experiences. But it's not something you would hope to retire on.
They don't look like the one above anymore. Well, actually some look worse, but most are sharp designs incorporating all the latest in essential boat stuff, you know, like a bathroom running water and a kitchen.
If you like houseboats and houseboat living as much as I do, you will really like a site designed for nothing but shantyboats, in fact, it's calledShantyboatLiving.com. The author, Bryan Lowe, has assembled tons of information on Shantyboats, houseboats, Eco-friendly boats and much more. It's a "must see" for me. I enjoy the articles and all the great pictures.
In England, many retired folks live on narrow-boats. These are skinny boats designed to go up and down the skinny little canals that cut across Great Britain. With a maximum width of only about 7', the design inside is much more like a long travel trailer. With a length often exceeding 60' and usually powered by a small diesel, they can slowly roam the English countryside while still having afternoon tea. Often seen in downtown areas, they offer a unique living style and can be an economical alternative to traditional housing. You can find out more about these truly unique British boats at NarrowboatWorld
But in the USA it's getting harder to live in a houseboat. Because houseboats don't generally move much, most people and especially boat people don't really consider them "boats." They are kind of excluded from the boating community. That's where sailboats seem to be more useful.
A small sailboat, while not giving all the comfort of a houseboat, offer the owner the ability to have a home and also be able to travel. A boat that actually moves is usually accepted in marinas that would otherwise shun a houseboat. The truth is that most sailboats don't really sail that much. They just motor along. Usually, with a small "kicker" motor on the back, they can move along just as fast as they would sailing and sip only ½ gallon of gas or diesel an hour. The main advantage is that when you stop for the night, you're already home.
So, instead of living on a houseboat or even planning to retire on a houseboat, maybe I'll start thinking about a sailboat. Anybody know how far it is to St. Croix?

Bush Admin. Official Criticizes CIA Probe
The Justice Department investigation is in response to a recently declassified 2004 report on the treatment of terrorism suspects after September 11th. The report says that CIA interrogators threatened to kill September 11th suspect Khalid Sheik Mohammed's children if there were any other attacks on the United States, says CBS News Correspondent Bob Orr. Other detainees were threatened with a power drill and a gun and one detainee was beaten with a flashlight by a CIA contractor. The detainee later died in prison.
Bartlett says the CIA should be held accountable for its processes, but believes the 2004 investigation took care of that. He says an additional investigation five years after the fact will cause a "political firestorm" that President Obama will not want to deal with.
The document was made public yesterday following an American Civil Liberties Union lawsuit. Holder has appointed John Durham, a Justice Department prosecutor, to determine whether or not any laws were broken during the interrogations.
Read the full Inspector General's report>
"I don't think that the attorney general had much choice, politically anyway, but to take this step and launch this criminal investigation," writes CBS News Legal Analyst Andrew Cohen. "And even the CIA itself acknowledges that some of its agents, current and former, went beyond legal limits in interrogation. The question is whether crimes were committed and can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt."
"This is just an initial step," Cohen adds. "Just because there is now a prosecutor doesn't guarantee we'll see any CIA trials and certainly doesn't ensure any convictions. All of the problems that existed before - problems with classified information and inadmissible evidence - still remain."
Bartlett sees the investigation, which is narrow in scope now, as a "slippery slope" to a more widespread look at the CIA. President Obama has said that he does not want to prosecute the former Bush administration officials who created the interrogation policies. But Obama's press secretary, Robert Gibbs, has added that the Attorney General's investigation into the legality of the interrogations is independent of the administration.

Mozeliak: Peralta will have thumb examined in STL. Initial read, could be tear, could be "2-3 months." #STLCards— Chris Hrabe (@chrabe) March 7, 2016
Bad news for the St. Louis Cardinals, as they learned they could be without their starting shortstop Jhonny Peralta for 2-3 months with a possible ligament tear in his left thumb.
The Cardinals do not have a backup shortstop ready to step in for an extended period of time, so they may be forced to move Jedd Gyorko who only played 28 games at short last season. Gyorko was expected to split time at second base with Kolten Wong, so if the Cardinals want to keep it that way, they could give Cuban shortstop Aledmys Diaz a chance.
Regardless there is no way the Cardinals will be able to match the production that Peralta gives them offensively or defensively. Last season Peralta hit .275 with 17 home runs and 71 RBI.
We Ranked Peralta 8th in Our Fantasy Baseball SS Rankings
If anything changes on this situation we will be providing updates, so stay tuned.

Richmond Family Law and Divorce Attorneys
Experienced Virginia Lawyers Managing Emotional and Legal Issues
Divorce and other family law issues are some of the most emotionally charged in all of law. In addition to working through these emotions, there are several financial and legal aspects of divorce that must be considered. Our Richmond family law and divorce lawyers have the knowledge and skill to guide you through the entire process.
At CowanGates we have served families since 1977. We view family law broadly, and we are ready to sit down with you, identify your needs and goals, and provide the comprehensive, thoughtful legal advice you deserve. Our clients include civilians, and active duty and retired military personnel.
To speak with a lawyer about your family law concerns, please arrange a consultation at CowanGates. Call 804-320-9100, toll free 800-948-7160 or contact our Richmond law office online.
Understanding the Divorce Process
One of the most important things you can do if you are facing divorce is to gather a strong support system. This can include friends, a counselor, social worker or minister. We like to think of ourselves as part of our clients' support system as well.
Our attorneys will help you determine whether you should file for fault-based or no-fault divorce. In Virginia, a divorce can be granted for reasons such as adultery, cruelty, desertion, or a felony conviction. A no-fault divorce can be granted based upon the parties' separation. A couple with children under the age of 18 must live separately for one year before obtaining a no-fault divorce. A childless couple may file for a no-fault divorce after a six-month separation, if they have a signed property settlement agreement. Without such an agreement, couples who do not have children must wait one year to file for a no-fault divorce.
We will protect your rights at every step of the process, including on issues of:
- Child custody and visitation
- Child support and spousal support (alimony)
- Property division, such as real estate, automobiles, bank accounts, retirement accounts and more
- Post judgment modification of divorce-related orders
Avoiding a Lengthy, Costly Court Battle
For couples who are willing to enter into a less adversarial process, mediation is a cost-effective means for arriving at a divorce settlement amenable to everyone involved. Mediation allows couples to negotiate how certain assets will be divided, how child custody arrangements will be structured, and what to do about marital debt. Consequently, mediation puts couples in charge of their own outcome rather than risk having a judge impose terms neither party finds satisfactory.
To discuss your divorce or other family law concern with an attorney at CowanGates, please call 804-320-9100, toll free 800-948-7160 or contact us online.

Starwood said two of the hotels would open later this year and that it had signed a letter of intent for a third.
The announcement came on the eve of a historic visit to Cuba by US President Barack Obama.
"We are confident Starwood is the right partner to help write the next chapter of relations between Cuba and American business, and we moved quickly and enthusiastically to pursue opportunities following recent government actions," said Kenneth Siegel, Starwood's chief administrative officer and general counsel.
Instead of building from the ground up, Starwood is moving in to existing upscale properties: the landmark Hotel Inglaterra will become a member of its Luxury Collection and the Hotel Quinta Avenida will be rebranded as Four Points by Sheraton Havana.
A letter of intent was signed with Cuba's Habaguanex, owner of the Hotel Santa Isabel, to also convert it to a member of the Luxury Collection.
"As we've seen throughout the world, our entry into new markets has a positive effect on local communities, preserving and protecting the culture and delicate ecosystems while improving employment opportunities, which were driving forces in our discussions," Siegel said.
Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro surprised the world in simultaneous speeches announcing their countries would begin normalizing relations back on December 17, 2014.
The 44th US president will hold talks with the communist government, but the White House has made it clear the emphasis will be on reaching out to the Cuban people directly.
On Tuesday, Obama will give a speech at the National Theater that will be carried live on Cuban television, giving Obama a unique platform to make his case.

Western Resources Corp (WRX.TO) are in focus today as the charts are revealing that the Mesa Adaptive Moving Average (MAMA) is holding steady above the FAMA, or Fractional Moving Average. This environment typically indicates that there might be a buying opportunity aligning in technicals. When there are crossovers between the FAMA and MAMA, the shares are often widely traded. When the MAMA crosses above the FAMA, it means that the shares are likely to move higher. Conversely the opposite occurs when the MAMA crosses below the FAMA. The Mesa Moving Average was first mentioned by John Ehlers in a paper published in a 2001 edition of Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities Magazine. The below was excerpted from the publication,
"The MESA Adaptive Moving Average (MAMA) adapts to price movement based on the rate of change of phase as measured by the Hilbert Transform Discriminator (Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities magazine, December 2000). This method features a fast attack average and a slow decay average so that composite average rapidly ratchets behind price changes and holds the average value until the next ratchet occurs."
When watching the day to day movements of the market, investors often have to be careful not to let external factors cloud their judgment. From time to time, there may be certain stocks taking off that look highly tempting to purchase. Getting into a position based on short-term price movements may be a specific strategy for some, but it may be highly costly for others. Even if a stock has been on a big run that the investor might have missed out on, there is no guarantee that the run will continue higher. Although there may be potential in highly publicized stocks, it may be wise for investors to do their own research and then decide if the stock fits with the overall goals.
Tracking moving averages is one of the most universally used techniques for performing technical stock analysis. Checking on some basic levels for Western Resources Corp (WRX.TO), the 50-day Moving Average is currently 0.26, the 200-day Moving Average is 0.23, and the 7-day is standing at 0.27. Moving averages use a series of historical data combined with the current stock price for calculation. Traders may find value in combining multiple time periods using moving averages to help compare how the equity is faring on a long-term and short-term basis. Many investors may use MA's as a way to develop support and resistance levels in order to spot specific trade entries and exits.
Traders may also be paying close attention to RSI levels on shares of Western Resources Corp (WRX.TO). The current 14-day RSI is presently sitting at 55.07, the 7-day is 58.55, and the 3-day is 51.17. The RSI, or Relative Strength Index is a popular oscillating indicator among traders and investors. The RSI operates in a range-bound area with values between 0 and 100. When the RSI line moves up, the stock may be experiencing strength. The opposite is the case when the RSI line is heading lower. Different time periods may be used when using the RSI indicator. The RSI may be more volatile using a shorter period of time. Many traders keep an eye on the 30 and 70 marks on the RSI scale. A move above 70 is widely considered to show the stock as overbought, and a move below 30 would indicate that the stock may be oversold. Traders may use these levels to help identify stock price reversals.
When completing stock analysis, investors and traders may opt to review other technical levels. Western Resources Corp (WRX.TO) currently has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of 25.93. Investors and traders may use this indicator to help spot price reversals, price extremes, and the strength of a trend. Many investors will use the CCI in conjunction with other indicators when evaluating a trade. The CCI may be used to spot if a stock is entering overbought (+100) and oversold (-100) territory. The Average Directional Index or ADX is often considered to be an important tool for technical trading or investing. The ADX is a technical indicator developed by J. Welles Wilder used to determine the strength of a trend. The ADX is often used along with the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI) to identify the direction of the trend. Presently, the 14-day ADX is resting at 41.32.
Generally speaking, an ADX value from 0-25 would indicate an absent or weak trend. A value of 25-50 would indicate a strong trend. A value of 50-75 would signal a very strong trend, and a value of 75-100 would indicate an extremely strong trend.
One of the biggest obstacles standing in the way of the individual investor is unrealistic expectations. Many times, investors will have an incorrect vision of what they expect to get from their investments in terms of actual returns. Creating unrealistic expectations can lead to overextending risk in the future. If an investor loses patience and thinks that they should be seeing bigger returns than they are currently generating, this may cause them to enter into a few ill advised trades in order to try to hit that previously determined number. Setting realistic, attainable goals may help the investor immensely, not just in terms of future returns, but in terms of the psyche as well.

In honor of our 10th anniversary, we are throwing it back in a #TBT series! Take a walk down memory lane with us. In this post, we are featuring an article written for CEJ's December 2012 Groundswell. Unfortunately, the need for greater environmental protections for Florida Springs is just as dire today as it was when this was written- if not more so. With the water problems Florida is experiencing statewide, this article is as relevant today as it was in 2012.* As you can see, CEJ has remained an outspoken advocate for Florida Springs for many years. We intend to continue fighting for greater legal consideration of Florida's natural systems in the years to come.
*Please keep in mind that some of the citations and data may be outdated. However, the point remains that a new legal approach is needed to truly protect Florida Springs. Enjoy this #TBT article!
Right to Farm or Right to Pollute?
By Robert A. Williams, Staff Attorney | Center for Earth Jurisprudence
Originally published in the December 2012 Groundswell
Part of Earth Jurisprudence's critique of existing environmental regulation is that all too often, what starts as an attempt to regulate polluters ends up being a license to pollute. This classic "licensing a wrong" effect demonstrates the inadequacy of a regulatory approach that focuses solely on human needs and wants: it legally protects acts of pollution, while disregarding any right of nature–in this case, Florida's springs ecosystems—to be healthy in its own regard. Florida's regulation of agricultural nitrate pollution provides a textbook example of this pattern.
One of the biggest threats facing Florida's springs is the growing concentration of nitrate in groundwater, which feeds the growth of filamentous algae species such as Lyngbya. There is plenty of blame to go around—lawn fertilizer, septic tanks, and inadequate treatment of waste water all contribute to the nitrate problem. However, in many of the major springsheds, agriculture is the primary source of the nitrate that is killing the springs.
The Santa Fe River Basin, which contains the beautiful Ichetucknee Springs, is a case in point. Nearly 80% of the total nitrogen load to the Santa Fe from nonpoint sources comes from agricultural activities. There is no way that we can solve the problem of nitrate pollution in the Santa Fe River basin without effective regulation of agriculture requiring significant reductions in the amount of nitrate that agricultural operations put into the aquifer.
However, effective regulation is frustrated at every turn. When the Department of Environmental Protection attempted in 2008 to set the level of allowable nitrate at 0.286 mg/L, agricultural interests represented by the Suwannee River Partnership vociferously objected and were successful in having the level of allowable nitrate pollution increased to 0.35 mg/L.
Setting the target level of nitrate is only the first step in the regulatory process. The standard known as the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is implemented through the creation of a Basin Management Action Plan (BMAP). The BMAP is developed with the "stakeholders," which usually consist of the major polluters. In this case the "stakeholders" were the same special interests who objected to the proposed TMDL.
In fact, four years later most of the area covered by the 2008 TMDL—including two of Florida's largest springs, Fanning Springs and Manatee Springs—still [did] not even have an approved implementation plan. [In 2012], with great fanfare, Secretary Vinyard, flanked by various agribusiness interests, announced that a BMAP had been finalized for the Santa Fe River Basin portion of the area covered by the 2008 TMDL. But don't expect to see any improvement any time soon: the plan specifically states that the TMDL "will not be achieved for several decades."[i] In the meantime, the priceless springs of the Suwannee River and its tributaries will continue to deteriorate.
The major reason that progress is so slow is the failure to effectively regulate agricultural polluters. In order to meet the 0.35 mg/L target, the agricultural sector would have to reduce nitrate pollution by 35%. However, the manner in which this is to be achieved is through the voluntary adoption of what are known as Best Management Practices (BMPs) established by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (DACS). Farmers have a choice: they can either agree to adopt the BMPs or they can demonstrate that they are in compliance with the standard.
Farmers, however, have a powerful incentive to opt for the BMPs: adoption of the BMPs provides a presumption of compliance with state water quality standards and release from the provisions of Section 376.307(5), Florida Statutes, for those pollutants addressed by the practice. Furthermore, the Department of Environmental Protection is not authorized to institute proceedings against the owner or source of the pollution to recover costs or damages associated with the contamination of surface or groundwater caused by those pollutants.
There is another benefit for farmers who adopt the BMPs. Under Florida's Right to Farm Act, Section 823.14, Florida Statutes, farming operations which have been in operation for year or more and which were not nuisances when they were established are immune from suit for either public or private nuisance, as long as the operation conforms to generally accepted agricultural and management practices. Moreover, the Right to Farm Act prohibits local governments from adopting any rules or ordinances which regulate farming activities conducted in accordance with the BMPs.
The Santa Fe River Basin Management Action Plan makes it clear that this grant of immunity to agriculture is one of the key assumptions underlying the plan:
By law, agricultural producers who implement FDACS-adopted BMPs applicable to their operations (identified through the submittal of a NOI [Notice of Intent]) have a presumption of compliance with state water quality standards.[ii]
But this isn't quite true: according to the applicable statute, only "[i]mplementation . . . of practices that have been initially verified to be effective, or verified to be effective by monitoring at representative sites, by the department"[iii] provides the presumption of compliance. Effectiveness refers not merely to whether the practices reduce the pollution, but to whether they are likely to achieve the targets set forth in the BMAP:
Where interim measures, best management practices, or other measures are adopted by rule, the effectiveness of such practices in achieving the levels of pollution reduction established in allocations developed by the department . . . must be verified at representative sites by the department. The department shall use best professional judgment in making the initial verification that the best management practices are reasonably expected to be effective.[iv]
That is not is what [was] happening. The Department of Environmental Protection did not make an initial verification that following the BMPs [could] be reasonably expected to result in a 35% reduction in nitrates coming from agriculture in the Santa Fe River Basin. Apparently, the Department's view is that DACS may set the BMPs based on the particular crop activity on a state-wide basis, without regard to a specific TMDL. Again, that is not what the statute appears to say:
[DACS] may develop and adopt by rule . . . suitable interim measures, best management practices, or other measures necessary to achieve the level of pollution reduction established by the department for agricultural pollutant sources.[v]
One recently adopted BMP rule is typical. The Best Management Practices for Florida Equine Operations says that its purpose "is to effect pollutant reduction through the implementation of agricultural Best Management Practices (BMPs) that may be determined to have minimal individual or cumulative adverse impacts to the water resources of the state."[vi] However, just because the harmful effects have been minimized does not mean that they are minimal. There certainly is no connection between following the practices and meeting the targeted reduction.
For example, the manual says that is a best practice to follow the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS) guidelines for pasture fertilization.[vii] The IFAS guidelines recommend that not more than 50 to 160 pounds of nitrogen be applied per acre, depending on grazing use, whether the pasture is being cut for hay, and other factors.[viii] Because data suggests that farmers use about 69 pounds of nitrogen per acre on improved pasture, following the recommendations is not likely to have a big impact on the nitrate load coming from improved pasture, which is one of the biggest single sources of nitrate load in the Santa Fe River basin.
The DACS rule also provides for the Presumption of Compliance:
[A]gricultural operations that implement BMPs, in accordance with FDACS rules, that have been verified by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection as effective in reducing pollutants addressed by the practices are presumed to comply with state water quality standards, and are released from the provisions of the Section 376.307(5), F.S., for those pollutants.[ix]
In other words, the farmers are off the hook for polluting the aquifer as long as they make some effort to reduce nitrate, even if those efforts are insufficient to meet the target.
The failure to link the BMPs to the required reductions makes it almost certain that the target level will not be reached. This is even more true in the areas where the approved TMDLs require even greater reductions in the amount of nitrate to reach the 0.35 mg/L target. The proposed TMDLs for Silver and Rainbow Springs require 79% and 82% reductions, respectively. These levels of reduction cannot be obtained by compliance with the published BMPs. Thus the BMAPs essentially become licenses to continue to dump nitrates into the aquifer at levels known to cause ecological harm.
The obvious failure of our current environmental regulations to protect some of the most important and unique ecosystems argues for a new approach. New models for environmental protection based on the rights of nature are emerging around the world. Most recently, New Zealand has recognized the Whanganui River and its tributaries as a legal entity with rights as an "integrated, living whole."[x] Two guardians will be appointed to oversee the health and well-being of the river pursuant to this new legal recognition. A case in Ecuador has similarly protected the rights of waterways to flow in a case on the Vilcabamba River that implemented the country's landmark 2008 constitutional provisions recognizing the rights of nature.[xi]
In the past, Florida has often been a pioneer in environmental regulation. Isn't it about time that we reclaimed that role by taking action to protect Florida's precious springs? Licensing the wrongs being visited upon the springs ecosystems can never make them right. But an Earth jurisprudence approach could change that destructive pattern, by recognizing in law the inherent rights of springs and spring-dependent species to exist and flourish.

Scally Santa
|This article or section may be Overly British. Americans may not understand humour, only humor. Canadians and Australians may not understand anything at all. Don't change a thing to remedy this.
Scally Santa (born UK, 25 December 1967) is Father Christmas's rebellious son, originally employed by Santa's Toy Shop to acquire various items to be distributed on Christmas Eve. In recent years, however, he has become a vigilante, having been disowned by his father following (as yet unproven) allegations of theft and violence.
Conception and Birth[edit]
Scally was conceived to an unknown mother in a brothel on the Wirral near Liverpool on Christmas Day 1967 during the 'Winter of Love'. The incident is one of the few known cases of miracle conception in which the child is born in the minutes following intercourse: other notable examples of such phenomena being Jebus, Elvis and Santa Claus himself. Details of Scally's birth are scant, as Santa Claus refuses to speak of incidents of this nature. That, and the fact he would have anybody who questions this banished to the Centre of the Earth.Scally likes to SUCK COCK
Time at Santa Toys Inc.[edit]
From the age of eight, Scally Santa was employed by Santa's Toy Shop as an intensive labour worker, manning the conveyor belt production lines alongside the elves. In return for 22-hour workdays, Scally was given a small outhouse with a pile of bricks in which to sleep. By the age of seventeen, however, he had grown weary of the constant workload and lack of money, and bacame a liability to the organisation, falling asleep on the job almost daily. For this reason, Scally was made redundant by Santa Claus in 1984 with no severence pay and nowhere to live.
Hardened and made bitter by the hardships which he faced working for Santa, Scally roamed the country lanes slept rough on the cold streets of Lapland for six years, living mainly off reindeer excrement and melted brown snow. Constantly prodded at and goaded by children on the way to visiting Santa's workshop, Scally lived on the fringe of society as a bastard outcast.
Life as a hobo[edit]
Scally's salvation came 1990, when he decided something must be done to improve his situation. Drawing on his knowledge of his time at Santa's workshop, Scally broke into the reindeer storage pen situated at the rear of the Santa Toys Inc. building. Weilding a blunt knife acquired from his travels, Scally coldly, calculatedly and brutally murdered Rudolf, Santa's most reliable deer, acquiring in the process his ability to fly and disappear at will by consuming the deceased Rudolph's blood.
It is at this point in Scally Santa's life that details become sketchy, filled in only by eyewitness accounts of disgruntled victims, the reliability of which is questionable. Using his new found powers, Scally returned to the country of his birth in search of his biological mother, so it is thought. Utilising his ability to disappear, it is theorised that Scally proceeded to steal food from expensive restaurants and local chip shops in order to survive.
It is not know exactly the whereabouts of Scally Santa at this point in time. However sightings of mysterious, suddenly disappearing red Burberry wearing miscreants have been reported as far afield as Hong Kong. It is most likely, however, that Scally currently resides in Greenland. Evidence for this lays in the council flat which has mysteriously appeared in Nuuk, the country's capital, and an adjacent garage containing considerable numbers of bicycles, lawnmowers and VCRs.
It is rumoured that Scally Santa insists on travelling to his birthplace of Britain each day in order to retrieve 'unwanted' 'Christmas presents', before selling them on to others at 'knockdown prices' in a modern-day Robin Hood scenario.
To this day, Santa Claus has vehemently denied any knowledge of Scally Santa: his existence has never been scientifically proven. However millions of his clients around the globe beg to differ, with customers unsatisfied at the quality of his service quick to dismiss the 'non-believers', citing the shoddy merchandise as conclusive proof of Scally's existence.
