MONEY TALK$ - Let's Talk About Black Women in Media & Money Management is the second of three panel discussions in our Let's Talk About series. The event will bring together a host of women in business or self employment from a variety of industries including fashion, food and finance for a day of honest discussion, lessons and networking.
We lift the lid on what it's like to be a black woman running her own business in the UK as they try to reach the mass market! We will also be discussing profit vs purpose, managing your own finances and budgeting, credit scores, funding, setting goals and more!
Be sure to have your questions ready for the panel, expect to meet new people and prepare for a good time.

The "Let's Talk About..." series aims to shed some light on the experiences of the Black and Mixed Race British women who are creating or have made a name for themselves and want to share their knowledge and experience with others. By providing an open and honest platform, we hope the audience will be able to get answers to the questions they have always wanted to ask.

Part 90 of the ongoing saga of The Great Being, the One Self that manifests as each of us.
The Rebels were in control everywhere. This made operations far more difficult than they had been before. Only Melchizedek was risked; the other Agents remained in their spirit bodies. Melchizedek had a humble birth in a small desert oasis far from the big cities and immediately began a lifetime of conquering and reconquering the brain that came with the human body. As had been the plan, no one noticed him as anyone of any importance.
Unfortunately, a very high being on his way to Earth to play a central role in the new strategy, was not as fortunate. Rebel spies were everywhere in Earth's solar system and little escaped their notice.
But now Templegard and Nastassia were the spies, in the great palace of Ur in their bubble bodies, in stealth mode so as to avoid detection by disembodied Rebels guarding their human puppet and beneficiary Nimrod — the most powerful man on Earth, ruler of Ur in Chaldea, later to be known as Iraq. Nimrod had no idea he was being manipulated, believing that his size, strength and iron will alone had brought him to where he was today, and surely those qualities factored in.
The Ziggurat Temple of Ur
The palace was as lavish and ornate as anything the Agents had ever seen on any planet and in any plane of existence save heaven itself. Fine artists had wrought splendor all over the beautiful city reaching an apex in the palace and in the ziggurat temple. Nimrod had clad himself in fur-trimmed purple robes and much priceless jewelry, but the cut of what he wore still bore the look of a warrior, which is what he fundamentally was. A third of the human race specialized in war and the other two thirds joined in fighting whenever needed. The Rebel cause was being served well on the enslaved planet, on which most of the slaves were ignorant of that status.
"I don't like that news!" Nimrod roared, and his seers cringed. They had seen messengers and viziers who brought bad tidings often killed. The three who prostrated before him now, cowering, were the bravest of the mages and had divined the oncoming occurrence. Actually Rebels had planted the ideas while the astrologers watched the stars. The other sages had refused to say a word to Nimrod about it, but these three felt that their duty required bringing this important news to the king even if they were to be slain for uttering it. Now Nimrod stood up and paced around them on the marble floor, and they waited to be smote by his huge jeweled rod. But he did not strike them. His manner became cunning.
"Have my good friend Terah bring me the new son as soon as it is born, and I will kill the baby with my own hands," Nimrod said.
Best to all,

There has been a lot of research published on vitamin D and the effects of Vitamin D deficiency. Why isn't every senior in America on Vitamin D?
Alzheimer's Reading Room
Many seniors spend day after day indoors without any direct sunlight. It would be a rare older adult who consumes enough Vitamin D in their diet to have a sufficient intake.
So why aren't physicians testing every older adult in America for a Vitamin D deficiency?
Without a big technical explanation of what Vitamin D does in and for the human body I will simplify it as much as possible to help you understand the need of having a sufficient amount on a daily basis.
Vitamin D works in unison with Calcium to keep bones and muscles healthy and strong, preventing osteoporosis. Calcium is not absorbed and distributed appropriately without Vitamin D. On its own Vitamin D doesn't do very much. There are specific functions within the body that only work correctly by Vitamin D.
Without strong and healthy muscles and bones the elderly are at risk for falls, fractures, and even death. Visiting Angels and Temple University developed a Fall Prevention Program which provides fall statistics.
Falls are the second leading cause of death in the US, with 75% of those falls occurring in the older population. There is evidence that supplemental Vitamin D in nursing home residents reduces the risk of falls and subsequent injuries.
The hormone Calcitonin, which is released from the thyroid gland, can cause cartilage to degrade if Vitamin D didn't inhibit that process. So in essence this very important vitamin can help by assisting processes or preventing processes.
Parathyroid hormone can cause problems with how the nerves regulate the muscles, immune function, and inflammation which is a major cause of pain in the elderly. Vitamin D also inhibits this hormone, which decreases the problems that can be caused by the parathyroid.
Chronic inflammation can cause many diseases which may include rheumatoid arthritis, kidney and prostate disorders, autoimmune diseases, as well as disorders affecting the skin, pelvis, bowels, respiratory, and vascular systems. Vitamin D deficiency also plays a part in Type I Diabetes.
I wonder how many diseases could be prevented by sufficient Vitamin D? How much pain in our elderly could be helped by adequate Vitamin D?
Search our Award Winning Alzheimer's Reading Room Knowledge Base for Answers to Your Questions, and Solutions to Problems
There is still much to learn and understand when it comes to the human body and disease. I always say, we don't know what we don't know. What will the future discoveries tell us? What is the depth of Vitamin D importance in the processes of the human body?
I believe the current information and knowledge about Vitamin D are enough to prove that a deficiency has an effect on wellness.
I encourage you to ask your physician, and advocate for your loved one to get tested for Vitamin D deficiency.
I don't recommend beginning a Vitamin D supplement without knowing your lab results or speaking with your physician.
It is possible to overdose on Vitamin D, but what if a simple daily supplement of Vitamin D can help you or your loved one's quality of life? It's worth pursuing.

NOTE: This is a blog about two guys attempting to lose weight over a six-week period. They kicked off their weight loss "strategies" on Jan 10.
'So easy, a caveman can do it.' Not only one of the greatest slogans when the ads first came out a few years ago, but also my new motto on my quest to lose 25 pounds in 12 weeks.
I don't want to think. Many people think I've achieved that goal already (long ago). But when it comes to dieting, I don't want to guess. I want the instructions. Written down. Better yet, just give me the food. Even better: feed me.
Since I couldn't find a diet plan in which people come to my office and place grapes in my mouth while playing the lute and recorder, I had to go with the next best thing (hopefully): Nutrisystem.
RELATED: Bacon-flavored gum is awful
The big box arrived Wednesday. Actually it was two boxes. One giant honking cardboard box and one Styrofoam box. The latter was filled with ice and frozen foods. I didn't expect that. I really didn't pay attention to what I ordered. I just went to the website and clicked stuff.
To be honest, I'm pleasantly surprised. Ice cream bars. Frozen pancakes. Ham and cheese omelets. Roast turkey medallions.
The frozen stuff is a new part of their plan, I'm learning. And the standard stuff came too: the numerous individual food packages that I just have to throw in the microwave and hit a button.
But the real test, of course, is the taste. I've done this before and some of it gets old.
And I enjoy the whole eating experience. The other night Judi and I had a very romantic dinner at a steakhouse in West Hollywood where we could watch the football game on a drive-in theater-like screen while seeing patrons (most in some form of inebriation) getting bucked off a live mechanical bull right in front of us. Awesome.
So variety is key when you want to dump the pounds. And my oatmeal-salad-broccoli diet was getting old.
And now 3:30 in the afternoon is the most stressful. The last two days I walked down to a colleague's office and emptied out her gumball machine (the gumballs, not the money -- but that could change).
I had the frozen ham and cheese omelet Thursday morning (although I decided to cook it rather than eat it like an Popsicle). It was fantastic. I also had one slice of toast, some cantaloupe squares and some yogurt. All part of the plan I'm following.
And 15 minutes later, I'm not hungry! Success? We'll see. But the omelet was very good.

Like lots of people with an interest in social care I have been following the travails of Four Seasons over the last few days. For anyone not up to speed, Four Seasons is a major care home provider in this country, with some 17,000 predominantly older residents and 25,000 staff. Four Seasons is now reportedly in financial difficulty and the regulator of the social care sector, the Care Quality Commission (CQC), has called for its biggest creditor to confirm that it will stand behind the company and not allow it to collapse. [Although it has since won a reprieve until April 2018, the uncertainty over its longer-term future continues].

We hear much these days on the importance of social media. Applications like Facebook and Twitter allow us to stay connected with friends and family around the world. We have instant access to information, photos, videos and updates of their lives.
But as with most things in life, there are potential consequences and research is determining people are just as likely, if not more, to become addicted to social media as they are other things.
Do you have a social media addiction? The difficulty with this instant technology is that it has become so completely integrated into our lives. We use social media multiple times each day, relying on it as a primary source of information. It is often considered to be easier to communicate through social media sites than it is to communicate face-to-face or on the telephone. Access to social media is not only instantaneous though. Research indicates that high levels of prolonged usage are more common amongst the younger members of society and among women.
What is a Social Media Addiction?
Addictions are about fulfilling something. Some people are drawn to addictive substances or behaviors because of the way they make them feel. By their very nature, humans possess a strong feeling to be connected to others and constantly have a sense of needing to belong somewhere. Social media has offered people a way to accomplish this like never before. You can be connected to the world around you twenty-four hours a day, three hundred sixty-five days a year. It is extremely accessible to anyone, anywhere.
Over time though, this connection can slowly become a need. The immediacy of the connection to people and access of information can offer such overwhelming and euphoric emotions; it can be difficult to turn away from them. When hand held devices and mobile phones are added in, the ease of availability increases even more so. Even those who have low self esteem can constantly search to fulfill their urge to connect without fear of being rejected. Having an online personality is easier for some people and their social and emotional needs are quickly fulfilled. The amount of time spent online is rarely questioned and this is where the danger of a possible addiction can come into play.
Determining a Possible Addiction
So, what makes a person addicted to the various forms of social media? Are you addicted simply because you are one who enjoys connecting with your family and friends on a regular basis? If you check your Facebook page first thing in the morning, does that make you a social media addict? The reality is that an addiction to social media can be marked with many of the same symptoms as an addiction to drugs or alcohol or other behaviors, including:
- Feelings of anxiety when you don't have access to your social media outlets.
- An inability to step away from social media for a set period of time (usually at least 24 hours).
- Choosing time online over actual face time with immediate friends or family, or letting work slip because you are spending too much time online.
Fixing the Addiction
Unlike an addiction to drugs or alcohol, there are usually no physical side effects from lowering your usage or stopping completely. You will be battling behaviors that have built up overtime, so it will not be an easy decision to cut down social media time. But, it is extremely doable. Start with these steps:
- Monitor your time online. Keep a journal to clearly see how much time you are spending online.
- Limit how often you have access to the sites. Remove applications from your Smartphone or any handheld devices.
- Find a group or buddy to help keep you accountable. This is always very smart when you are battling an addiction.
Go Ahead and Unplug
Technology has become so completely integrated into our lives and it is obvious it will not be going anywhere soon. That is why it is so important to learn to monitor your behavior and limit your time online. Of course, there is always the option of unplugging from the technological world we live in every now and then. Take the time to enjoy the world and the people around you. Spark up conversations and make commitments to have at least one meal a day without your Smartphone or other technology.

Nissan launch new 'iManual app'
iManual could be a bit hit for smartphones
Nissan has launched a new iManual app for the new Nissan Micra. This app will allow owners to store their Micra's manual on their smartphone. Nissan believes the iManual could be a big hit, helping owners to learn more about their car, after research showed that UK motorists are no fans of their current car manuals.
A recent survey by Nissan found that while 57% of owners had consulted their manual only 13% had used it more than twice with most stating they quickly gave up after they couldn't find the information they needed. The survey also highlighted the fact that 13% had their manual at home on a bookshelf and 10% admitted they had no idea where it was. Guillaume Masurel, Nissan GB Marketing Director said "car manuals are often the most useful but least used resource and the Nissan Micra iManual is designed to enhance the driving experience and allow motorists to really understand their car further. While automotive design and technology has evolved, the car manual has failed to follow suit and during this digital age we feel there's a huge opportunity to empower our customers and really enable them to understand what's happening both above and below their car's exterior."
The new app is available for the new Micra and sees all the information contained within the cars manual into one software application that can be stored on both Apple and Android smartphones. It also incorporates visual recognition software that enables owners to identify dashboard symbols and switches by using their phone's camera. It is available to download for free and compatible with both Apple and Android handsets.
The new Micra is great value for money priced from just £9950, it is also one of the safest small cars around, Nissan designed the Micra to be one of the safest small cars with ESP stability control fitted as standard alongside ABS brakes and six airbags. There is a three model line-up starting with the entry level Visia that has generous specification including remote central locking, front power windows, electric power steering, 14-inch wheels, Radio & CD player with Aux & USB plus a full complement of safety equipment including driver and front passenger airbags, side airbags and curtain bags, ABS and ESP. The middle of the range the Acenta is priced from £11,550 and range-topping Tekna variants start at £12,950 and include Nissan Connect navigation, Parking Slot Measurement, rear parking sensors and Intelligent Key with engine start button. If you opt for the Tekna then there is also the option of a panoramic glass roof.

Robert Marchand has spun himself into the record books.
The 105-year-old Frenchman set a new world record on Wednesday when he cycled 22.547 kilometers (about 14 miles) in an hour, according to the Associated Press.
The centenarian completed 92 laps while a crowd chanted "Robert! Robert!" at Velodrome National, a state-of-the-art indoor track outside Paris that hosts elite cycling events.
Marchand said he didn't even see the 10-minute warning sign during the event.
"Otherwise I would have gone faster," he told the AP. "I would have posted a better time. I'm now waiting for a rival."
Speaking to Eurosport, he elaborated on his feelings about the win.
"I am not here to be champion. I am here to prove that at 105 years old you can still ride a bike," he said.
As if his record-breaking race weren't magnificent in its own right, Marchand hasn't even been cycling constantly his whole life. Having worked as a firefighter, a truck driver and a lumberjack, he only took up cycling again when he was 68 years old. Since then, he's managed feats like riding from Moscow to Paris (about 1,800 miles by car).
Marchand's coach and friend Gerard Mistler told the AP that the cyclist can attribute his athleticism to eating fruits and vegetables, not smoking, drinking wine in moderation, exercising daily and going to bed at 9 p.m.
Oh, and reading.
"Reading a lot keeps his mind alert," Mistler said. "He does not watch much TV, apart from the Tour de France stages."
Well, excuse us. We'll just be readjusting our 2017 resolutions while we still can.

What Constitutes Sustainable Tea?
A battle between Unilever and an Amsterdam-based non-governmental group over the rights of workers on tea plantations in India and Kenya shows the difficulties facing multinational companies that are trying to ensure their products are ethically produced.
Unilever, which makes the popular Brooke Bond and Lipton brands, has committed to sourcing all its tea sustainably by 2020.
But doing so is tricky. First, what does sustainability constitute exactly? Does it comprise basic worker rights and environmental protections? Or should it mean that workers on tea plantations in India and Kenya, poor countries, should be extended the same working conditions as most Europeans and Americans? And who makes sure these companies –often not owned by the multinationals but local suppliers–abide by the standards?
The Netherlands-based Center for Research on Multinational Corporations, in an October report, claimed the existing system of checks and balances has failed to stop abuses of workers on Unilever's Kenyan estate, including sexual harassment and poor housing conditions.
In India - where Unilever buys tea from producers in Assam and Tamil Nadu, but does not own the estates - the report claims workers are kept permanently on rolling short-term contracts, denying them health and pension benefits, and are often exposed to dangerous pesticides while working.
Unilever, in its response to the report, says the center has failed to produce evidence to back claims made about its Kenyan operations. The company said it would look in to allegations of abuses at the Indian suppliers if given specific information.
At the crux of such battles is a debate about whether the move to sustainable production is a real attempt to improve conditions for workers in poor parts of the world or a kind of "green-washing" carried out by multinational companies under intense pressure from customers in Europe and the U.S.
In reality, it's probably a bit of both. Companies, for sure, have a real interest in managing their brand image, which means not buying from people that exploit workers. But at the same time, they have to watch their bottom lines and produce enough to meet demand for their product, which they say would be impossible if moving overnight to apply Western-style standards uniformly across emerging market economies.
The balance between certifying adequate quantities of sustainable product – of tea, or other products like wood and palm oil – and keeping to strict standards is a tough one to negotiate. The Forest Stewardship Council, which makes sure the paper in your novel is from sustainable sources, got caught out in 2007 and had to change its rules when one of Indonesia's most controversial paper producers got an FSC certification.
Sometimes it's difficult to know what is sustainable. Take palm oil, used in products like margarine and cosmetics, which is grown on plantations that have led to the destruction of massive area of natural rainforest in Indonesia and Malaysia. The red palm oil fruit is collected from hundres of small plantations and processed at refineries, making it difficult to know whether the end product is sustainable.
Unilever, one of the world's largest buyers of palm oil, has been instrumental in developing the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil, a group of suppliers, NGOs and producers. But progress toward the RSPO's goal of sustainability by 2015 has been slow, with lack of clarity on how to ensure a product meets "green" standards.
In theory, tea should be easier to track. But Unilever's response to the latest report by the Center for Research on Multinational Corporations highlights the difficulties.
The company said it relies on regular, independent audits of its tea plantations by the Rainforest Alliance, a U.S.-based nonprofit environmental group, which has improved rights for workers. Unilever says it has spent €1.2 million on housing upgrades at its estate in Kericho, Kenya, which it claims offers workers among the best conditions in the East African tea industry.
Rainforest Alliance carries out audits for a number of companies according to social and environmental standards set by the Sustainable Agriculture Network, a coalition of leading global conservation groups. During the process, auditors should be allowed to go where they like and meet workers without management presence.
"Attempting to undermine public trust in the Rainforest Alliance scheme is not a responsible approach to addressing these issues," Unilever said in response to the report.
The center, known by its Dutch acronym as SOMO, retorts that the Rainforest Alliance auditing process is deeply flawed, based on short visits and not deep investigation.
The report points out instances when management at the Kenyan estate tried to cover up housing problems ahead of auditor arrivals.
The center says women who have faced sexual harassment are scared to come forward given their lack of belief in the oversight process.
In India, the report claims that many workers are employed by tea suppliers to Unilever on short-term contracts that offer them no benefits, an effort to cut costs after a crisis in the Indian tea industry a decade ago.
In Assam, as many as 50% of workers in the tea industry are on short contracts, meaning they don't get benefits, the report says.
Unilever says that tea production is seasonal and defends its use of contract workers with "clearly defined rights" as a usual practice.
The report acknowledges that use of contract workers doesn't break national or international labor laws. But it argues that heavy reliance on these kinds of workers, who are sometimes employed for decades on rolling short-term contracts, goes against Sustainable Agriculture Network standards that lay down equal benefits to workers for the same kind of work.

Barclays, Libor and Game Theory
Our colleagues at efinancialnews.com explore how the act of entire banks submitting false Libor rates opens up the Pandora's box that is 'game theory' – and shows how Barclays played the wrong hand.
By Giles Turner
Game theory is a mathematical concept developed by Hungarian-American polymath John von Neumann and German-born economist Oskar Morgenstern in the 1940s, which looks at the way in which people react in certain situations.
For example, in situations that result in either the potential for a mutual gain, or a mutual loss, it is rational for the actors involved to co-operate, rather than act for themselves at the expense of others.
This may shed some light on why banks were colluding in order to influence Libor rates.
Libor is currently set via 16 banks, which each day tell the British Bankers Association the level they believe best reflects their cost of funding. The highest and lowest four quotes are eliminated, and the remaining eight are averaged out to determine Libor. It is designed to prevent gaming the market by banning collusion–and by eliminating the four highest and lowest Libor submissions. This is so any bank that posts an outlier will not be able to influence interbank lending rates.
However, if banks begin talking to each other about what rate they are going to set, then the ability to orchestrate a mutual gain is obvious. During a situation like the 2008 financial crisis, the ability to keep the market misinformed about the health of your lending relationship is a useful asset.
But while rival banks were busy posting false Libor rates, Barclays, which did not comment for this article, was apparently posting "realistic rates", or ones higher than the rest of its rivals.
In documents published by Barclays ahead of Bob Diamond's appearance in front of the Treasury Select Committee, an internal email sent by Mr. Diamond in October 2008 regarding a conversation with the Bank of England's deputy governor Paul Tucker paints a picture of a bank worried about being left out in the cold

Please say hi to Beth, one of my Fantastic February sponsors. I love Beth because she's hilarious, isn't afraid to say what's on her mind & has an incredible eye for vintage finds.
Beth is so not your typical southern belle. She can't cook or clean but can bake the heck outta some cookies, cupcakes, and pies. She's got quite an unconventional love story as well. After shocking her family by getting married & moving to the other side of the state, she's started a great life by becoming a wife to an awesome guy whom she met via the interwebz. They're proud parents of two awesome doggies, a min pin & lab.
Most of the time you can find her hiding behind my MacBook Pro or "attempting" to be a housewife. She also spends a great amount of her time as owner of both the Etsy shop Arrow's Finds (full of vintage clothing, accessories & home goods) and the awesome blog Arrow In The Eye.
What inspired you to create your blog/business/brand?
I've always been a slight clothes hoarder but it finally got to the point that it was starting to take over my guest room closet. That's when I discovered that I had some what of a taste in fashion & got compliments constantly from friends on my vintage dress. To help purge all my vintage beauties I opened up an Etsy store. Now I spend most weekends hunting down antiques & vintage items in old barns and flea markets.
How can readers connect with you online?
You can find Beth through her Etsy, Blog, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, or Instagram #1 & #2.
Check out some of these gorgeous finds that Beth has listed in her vintage-inspired Etsy shop:

Writing ToughHelena on April 27, 2010 in Misc 16 Comments »
I've decided that, like me, Layla should get injured.
Yes, that sounds very cold of me. It also sounds like I might be projecting my frustration and pain onto an innocent character who never did me any harm. A character who is, in many ways, my alter ego, or at the very least the woman I want to be if only I were younger, cooler, better looking, better educated, had a super cool job and a lot more money.
It's also a little extreme because it means more writing. After all, Layla's story/my novel The Compass Master is finished and just about ready for publication. So if Layla is to suffer an injury, I'll have to go back into the final quarter of the manuscript and change several scenes. It means that after she's in a fight with one of the bad guys and gets away, she must sustain an injury that hobbles her actions and even threatens her life.
But you know what? This change could be a very good thing.
So many thriller novels I've read and movies I've seen – no matter how gritty on the surface – are flat out fantasies when it comes to the consequence of a hero's injuries. The guy can get hammered and thrown around and lose consciousness for a couple hours, but he still gets up and fights on. She can be blasted by a bomb or hurled against a wall, and she'll moan and groan but still rally onward. You never, at the end of all the body bashing, see him or her lying barely lucid in a hospital bed, drooling and mumbling and begging for more pain killer, PLEASE.
Not that this describes my recent personal experience in a hospital.
But back to Layla. What kind of injuries will I give her?
A partially collapsed lung and fractured ribs, of course.
It makes perfect sense. Write about what you know, we writers are always being told. Well, I sure as hell know about lungs and ribs. I can tell you all about the sudden and frightening inability to run or even walk fast for fear of passing out because I'm so short of breath. I can describe in detail the pain that spiders across one side of the chest and makes any kind of lifting and carrying nearly impossible and ultimately dangerous. But Layla will still have to lift stuff and run as best she can, and in the process try not to pass out.
I gotta say I'm getting excited about making these changes in my manuscript. They'll add depth to the character, even more tension to the story, and will feel like a slap of hard reality in scenes that currently might be a little too typical for the genre.
Who knew I would ultimately benefit, in only a literary way, from being banged up by an idiot?
POSTSCRIPT: Here's a personal note to Robert. I'm still thinking about your crazy and semi-fantasy suggestion about an internet school for action heroes. And maybe soon I can write a semi-fantasy school curriculum that I'll post here. Might be really fun.

Jewelry has been an important element of male style since the first caveman threaded a seashell onto a length of sinew and tied it around his neck. Perceived as a status symbol, a show of wealth, an emblem of strength and power, or simply a decorative adornment, jewelry often defines a man's character without a word being spoken.
From the elaborately bejeweled majesty of Henry VIII to the subdued sophistication of Don Draper's elegant watches to the menacing headdresses, ankle cuffs and breastplates of an African chieftain to Dave Navarro's and Steven Tyler's heavy metal jewelry, men embrace the gold, silver and gemmy goodness of ritualistic adornment just as fervently as their female counterparts.

NEW YORK (Forex News Now) – The euro rebounded against the dollar on Wednesday, paring some of Tuesday's sharp losses, despite a disappointing report on German industrial production and new fears over Europe's banks.
In European morning currency market trading, EUR/USD struck 1.2711, up 0.23 percent on the day.
Germany's statistics bureau said earlier that industrial production increased 0.1 percent during the month, up from a drop of 0.6 percent in June. Analysts had expected an increase of 1.1 percent in September, two realtime forex news outlets reported.
According to EUR USD analysis, EUR/USD was likely to touch support around the low of Aug. 31, 1.2625, and encounter resistance around the high of July 26, 1.3006.
The euro's gains also came ahead of the publication of the U.S. Federal Reserve's "Beige Book," analysis used by the central bank's policy-setting committee in making its next interest rate decision.
Elsewhere, the euro rose slightly versus the yen: EUR/JPY traded at 106.43, up 0.1 percent, according to intraday analysis.

Why I did this
I've never really fit in a specific genre of people. Even in high school I seemed to alternate crowds I hung out with (popular kids, then nerds, etc.). I liked this about myself, but after being around some people that seemed to need to label me in some category I began to wonder what the benefits of fitting so completely in one label were.
There must be a benefit, right? I mean, if there wasn't one, then it wouldn't exist! I wanted to see what it would be like to be like that, to be someone that knew exactly who they were.
I hope to learn about myself along with other people, to make new friends, and to learn to open my mind to new ways of thinking. I expect this experiment to make me a better, smarter person in many different ways.
In a way the fact I'm doing this shows I still have a lot to learn about where I fit in, if I really belong anywhere, and if its a good or bad thing to not fit in a niche.
I hope that you will take something new from this, that you will learn about these personality types and how they are never exactly what they seem, even when I perpetuate their stereotypes.
So far, this has been an incredible learning experience and made me a much more open person. I am so grateful to all who have helped me and read my blog.
Honestly, this experiment is the first time I've blogged and the first time I've tried anything like this. It's been an interesting an enlightening journey though, this blog is my baby.
If you have any advice please feel free to tell me, I'm still getting the hang of things, and really want to make this blog the absolute best it can be!

App Review: Next Read 2.0 by Square Wheel Software
by Dorothy on
February 3, 2009
Filed under Daily App Reviews, Utility
Do you ever find yourself in the airport just before a flight, looking for something to read and just not knowing what to choose? I love to read and am always trying to sift through all of the books out there to find the really good ones. I try to remember the title and author when someone suggests a good book to me, but I usually forget. Next Read 2.0 is designed to help you keep track of book recommendations you receive from friends, family, TV, internet, or other sources. This app does more than just keep track of a list, though. It will keep track of just about all the information about the suggestion and give you access to details about the book and reader reviews through Amazon.com.
Next Read allows you to enter in a list of all the places that you receive book recommendations from and assign them a score between +1 and +10 based on how good the recommendations coming from that source are. When you enter in a book and tie it to that source, it is automatically given the rating that you assigned to the source. You can give a book even more points, by linking the recommendation to multiple sources on your source list.
The search function can be used to enter in a recommendation or to simply look up a book. The search returns a list of books that match the search criteria from Amazon.com. Once you have found the book you are searching for in the search results, you can add the book to your list, read the reviews on Amazon, see the detailed product information, see Listmania Lists that include this book, or even jot down notes about the book on a note pad. The notes are then accessible from your suggested reading list by tapping the "Take Notes" button again.
The "Suggested" tab displays all of the books that you have entered as suggested reads. The app will sort this list by the score each book received, the source of the recommendation, the author, or the category the book falls into. Sorting the list is a very helpful function, but the categories seemed to be a little odd. Also, by tapping the plus sign in the upper right hand corner you can do a "quick add." It essentially allows you to jot down the title and author or ISBN for the book quickly and go through the process of adding it to your list later. Kind of handy when you are in a hurry.
You can also organize your books into lists as well as uploading lists to or from others over Wi-Fi. If your friends don't have Next Read, you can just email the list to them. You can even import your wish list from Amazon. I thought the shake search was a nice touch, though. If you don't know what to read next, you can go into the search function and shake the phone. It will automatically do a search for something similar to the books on your list. It is interesting to see what it comes up with.
Overall, Next Read is a great way to keep track of all the books you hear and read about. It is fairly easy and straight-forward to use. It took a little poking around for me to figure it out, but in mere minutes I had sources set up and was adding books to my lists. No more jotting down book titles on scraps of paper that get lost or wandering the book store trying to figure out which book is good by staring at the cover.
Next Read is $1.99 in the iTunes App Store.

Bay Area author sues ex-husband for $40 million / Terry McMillan says the now-openly gay man married her to get citizenship
2007-03-22 10:44:00 PDT DANVILLE -- Bay Area author Terry McMillan sued her ex-husband for $40 million Wednesday, saying that the now-openly gay man married her to get his U.S. citizenship and, along with his divorce lawyer, launched a smear campaign against her.
McMillan, author of "How Stella Got Her Groove Back" and other novels, also sued ex-husband Jonathan Plummer's lawyer, Dolores Sargent of San Ramon, saying she was part of a plan by Plummer to secure money to which he was not entitled.
In the suit, filed in Contra Costa County Superior Court, McMillan says that Plummer and Sargent knew the arguments they used to attempt to nullify the couple's prenuptial agreement were false.
McMillan filed for divorce from Plummer, her husband for 6-1/2 years, in 2005 after he disclosed that he was gay and had been cheating on her. The divorce sparked a bitter court fight, including restraining orders filed by both parties. Plummer asked for spousal support as part of the divorce, McMillan told The Chronicle in January, but ended up receiving just $28,000, plus $27,000 for his attorney.
Plummer, originally of Jamaica, is 23 years younger than the 55-year-old McMillan. He now works as a hairdresser in Danville, where McMillan also lives.
In addition to claims that Plummer violated the restraining order she secured against him, McMillan's lawsuit argues that he and his lawyer lied in the divorce proceeding -- knowing that alleged lies would receive media attention -- in an attempt to make McMillan "fear for her life, because of the possibility of AIDS."
The alleged lies also caused permanent damage to McMillan and her son, the suit says.
The suit seeks $10 million for infliction of emotional distress; $10 million for placing McMillan in a "false light"; and $10 million for violation of privacy from both defendants. It also seeks $10 million from Plummer for allegedly violating the restraining order.
McMillan's attorney, Martin Garbus, declined to comment on the suit. Neither Sargent nor Plummer could immediately be reached for comment.

The Most Useless Jutsu
It is tough since most jutsu actually have a purpose, so it depends your scale and also the user, since I think Shadow Possession is only great with a Nara genius, also Ino's mind possession also sucks if it misses its target. Also if you think of risk vs power you would say things like release of the Gates and butterfly bomb etc would suck since all you get to do is one attack like a suicide bomber, effective but you will never win, best you can is draw (I know I am probably gonna here it now). So all jutsu can be good if used correctly and by the right user or in combination, I would say a jutsu alone it has to be shadow possession jutsu, 1) your opponent only does what you do, so you can't exactly hurt him too bad, and I have seen that when bound they both share the pain of any attack
Suna no Ken:
Now I'm sorry people and I know some of you will reject this but the absolute worst, useless, simply pathetic, mockery of a jutsu is the second jutsu ever talked about in the NARUVERSE: The Ninja Centerfold.(aka the sexy jutsu.) The ninja centerfold created by naruto is so incredibly useless that it's hard to remember when it was thought as a good jutsu.(though for those stupid perverts in the world that had no problem with the fact that a guy turns into a girl simply thought it was brilliant.) First of the ninja centerfold has no actual usefulness in a full on battle. What, you think a bloodthirdsty ninja with a big honking sword wont kill you cause u spontaneously grew girl part's? They will murder anything! Now some of you will say "well it's a good disguise jutsu" to that I say, Do you really think people wont notice a freking NAKED CHICK! It's too obvious! The point is that it has no practical use. The only thing it may be useful for is if Naruto needed a lot of one dollar bills.
Suna OUT!
The Worst Jutsu…I would say has to be the Suicide Bomb Technique. I know only Deidara COULD do it, but it is one of those few last-ditch moves that are always fatal for the user. Deidara killed himself using it on Sasuke. It is pretty much a foolish move to use, and the person being targeted could protect himself like Sasuke did, so the user never knows if his jutsu did what he wanted it to do. Final observation: Worst Jutsu because of the last man standing effect it puts out.
In my opinion, the worst jutsu in the Naruverse is the Bloodline Limit known as the Sharingan.
Of course, it isn't a useless or worthless jutsu for those who have it, but for those who don't, it is a very bad justu to be fighting against.
It is an unfair technique. It is exclusive to the Uchiha clan alone, which creates an imbalance between the lines of hard work and innate skill for other shinobi unlucky enough to not be born within the Uchiha clan.
Uchihas do not need to be amazingly talented and skilled because the Sharingan takes care of a lot of that. For instance, some poor hard-working ninja in an unknown village thought of, created and perfected a certain technique. Suddenly, along comes this red-eyed freak and BAM! The red-eyed freak just stole the hardworking ninja's jutsu in the blink of an eye, literally.
It gives them an unnecessary advantage in battle and in other fields as well, if you want to include Uchiha Madara and his control over Kyuubi.
Other shinobi who do not have a bloodline limit, such as Haruno Sakura and Uzumaki Naruto need to try exceptionally hard and hone their skills for years to barely be on par with an Uchiha.
Silver Uchiha:
" Sexi no Jutsu" is officially a jutsu and it is useless in real battle, when shinobis are serious about fighting they don't lost their concentration for a naked woman. Is something like that coud have help Tsunade and other female would have not lose a battle in life. This jutsu worked only when Naruto was a kid and people where not deeply serious abut harming Naruto in battle. I would have say dynamic entry, but I think it not a jutsu, anyway a fast netry to the battlefield well used is pretty useful.
Most useless jutsu…..I'd have to say its "Dynamic Entry". It's just a regular jump kick, and is quite predictable. no wonder its a D-rank lol
I say the most useless Jutsu is the Flower Shuriken Jutsu, this jutsu, used by a MALE character throws flowers at the opponent, presumably hoping their allergic? If not, this ninja is basically screwed, so much for being a Senju rip off…
For most useless, I 'd have to say it's Naruto's sexy no jutsu. Don't get me wrong, it's great eye candy, but if we're talking about practical use in combat, it doesn't make the grade. First of all, it'll only work on males, and second, the enemy must be some kind of horny teenager if he's going to fall for some naked girl that popped out of no where. A close second would be Ino's mind swap jutsu: it has way too many draw backs and someone always needs to be there to watch over Ino's unconscious body while she does it.
That does it for group blog #4.
For Group blog #5, the question will be "Who is the Naruto character you can relate to the most and why?" Send responses to firstname.lastname@example.com (that's b0b with a zero) or use my handy contact form. If you haven't posted or commented before, this is a great way to get your opinions out.

This project has received funding from the European Union's Seventh Programme for research, technological development and demonstration under grant agreement No. 601003, for the period 2013-01-01 to 2017-07-31
The goal of BALANCE is to realize a robotic exoskeleton that improves the balance performance of humans while standing and walking. Such a robot could help in situations where keeping balance is difficult, such as in specific work conditions, or help people that have difficulty maintaining their balance, such as people with neurological injury, for example during rehabilitation sessions.
The exoskeleton will be human-cooperative. This means that the exoskeleton will support the user, but not fully take over the control when this is not needed. Depending on the application it can either assist only in difficult conditions or in case of erroneous behavior of the user, or it can fully take over postural balance control of the human user. Supported tasks are functional standing and walking, in a clinical, real all-day life or work environment.
The basic approach of BALANCE is to increase understanding of how human postural control is structured, how and why it functions and is robust in healthy humans, and to use this knowledge to support and enhance the postural control through the exoskeleton in a way that does not impede the normal and remaining human motor control.
BALANCE will study and implement both anticipatory and reactive balancing mechanisms, including impedance adjustment and corrective stepping, and implement a "sense of balance" and "sense of human motion intentions" through sensor fusion techniques and data analysis. The ultimate goal is to have the exoskeleton seamlessly cooperate with the human user.
A consortium of specialists in exoskeleton hardware development, human motor control, exoskeleton control, adaptive robot control, gait mechanics, biomechanical sensing and balance assessment technology has joined through BALANCE in order to achieve these objectives.
The exploitation of the results will focus on applications in neuro-rehabilitation and worker support.
September 27, 2017 | Published by Administrator
The final review meeting of the BALANCE project is organized at the CEA-List facilities, Digiteo, Saclay, Paris on September 29, 2017. The consortium is gathering to prepare the finalization of our gr

Posts tagged 'Lent'
Let's do something for the greater good.
This is a project we can really get the little ones involved in, as well-make it a family thing.
This last week of Lent is a good time to look at the small, green changes we have been meaning to make but never got around to.
I am investigating "vampire" energy use. Who knew? And even better-this is one I can delegate to Himself!
Another upside is that we could save ourselves money while we're saving the world. Win-win.
Check out 10 Ways to Go Green and Save Green. You might want to sign up for their newsletters. Very thought provoking.
So let's get started and be sure to share your clever ideas.
ADDENDUM– I used to have lots of creative ways to recycle pantyhose-stuffing throw pillows, tying up tomato plants, etc. But well, you know…
I just found a site called Busted Halo.
Their gravatar is perfect. It looks like a mix between a cross and a star.
My favorite thing is their Fast, Pray, Give Lenten Calendar.
Now the New Year's resolutions have morphed into the Lent resolutions. Oh well, life's a journey.
Lent has always been a mindful, reflective time for me. A bit of a retreat.
I feel bereft when the holy water is removed from the church. It makes me think of "going to the desert" which I guess was the Biblical equivalent of "going to the mattresses". It puts me in a certain frame of mind and I start thinking of the Waters of Life and why Easter, not Christmas is our most important Holy Day.
Clearly, this year I am going to have to be a little more creative than just giving up chocolate and meat on Friday.
I am putting aside my lighter reading for now and revisiting the Bible. This is a bit of a sacrifice as I am a voracious reader.
I am being serious about my Gratitude Journal. That means no more, "I'm grateful that this day is over." (Which I still think is funny.)
I always count my blessings at night but I am putting a little sticker in my car to remind me to count them in traffic, as well.
I will try to go to the Stations of the Cross.
I will do my due diligence to make sure that my charity money is not being squandered. Here are some links to help with that:
• American Institute of Philanthropy
I will try to find creative ways of giving that do not cost any money such as Boost.
I will try to be kinder and more thoughtful.
Lent doesn't have to only be about depriving ourselves or giving things up. It can also be about adding something to our lives. We could add a healthy habit, contribute to something in the community, volunteer, make a commitment that will benefit ourselves and/or others even after Easter.
We could each make a small difference where we are. Just think how it will all add up!
I think of it like throwing wildflower seeds out of the window of a car.
It will take awhile.
But soon you will see something wonderful!
Eat, drink and be merry,
For tomorrow is Lent!

안녕하세요! Annyeong!
The Sino-Korean word or Hanja for "안녕" (Annyeong) is 安寧 which means "peace".
So this quintessential Korean greeting is wishing you peace at heart.
Teacher Wann is the principal and founder of Hanok. She is a born and bred Singaporean and leads the team of native Korean teachers in Hanok. Her wealth of experience in learning and teaching Korean for over a decade has benefited her students in her classes and her careful selection of the teachers.
Teacher Wann started teaching in 2002 after completing her graduate diploma course in Korean Language at Sogang University. Under Korea Foundation's Scholarship Program, she became the first and still only Singaporean to complete her Master's course in Korean Language and Literature and receive her Korean Language Teachers Training in Kyung Hee University. She has done interpretation work for various Kpop concerts and Mediacorp, in English and Mandarin. She was awarded the Ambassador's Award at the 13th International Korean Oratory Competition in 2008. Her life before Hanok was translating and analyzing Korean financial statements for Apple Computers, while teaching part-time at various institutes.
She has taught extensively in Korea, helping foreigners to learn the language and in Singapore at NUS Extension, Ngee Ann Polytechnic and Singapore Polytechnic. Her teaching engagements includes for Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports, Inland Revenue Authority, ITE College Central and Standard Chartered Bank.
Base on her own learning experience, she believes that speaking and listening is the focus of Korean language learning in the classroom, with emphasis on practicing reading and writing at home for the students. The teachers go through training with her, so they can better explain Korean grammar more efficiently to their students.
Teacher Lee became interested in teaching Korean after doing language exchange with her local friends in Singapore. She took up the Korean Language Teaching Course at the renowned Sungkyunkwan University which is founded during the Joseon Dynasty. She is curious about languages and has taken a two-year French course in Switzerland. She is popular with students for her friendliness and patience.
She attained her Korean Language Teaching Certificate from Seoul National University.
Teacher Noh may be the youngest among our teachers, but she is also the most versatile in languages. After completing her high school studies in New Zealand, she went on to pursue a double major in Chinese and Japanese at the University of Auckland. She taught English to pre-school and elementary school students in Korea before coming to Singapore. Having learned languages herself, her own learning experiences help her in making her Korean Language classes fun and effective.
She completed her course in teaching Korean as a Foreign Language at Kyunghee University with a Level 2 Certificate approved by National Institute of Korean Language.
With a bright and cheerful personality, it may come as a surprise that Teacher Jo graduated with a Master's Degree Bio-Engineering at KAIST, an institution recognized not just in Korea, but as Asia's premier science and engineering university. The first Korean to fly in space was from KAIST! Teacher Jo herself worked as a research-engineer at KAIST for more than 11 years. She was in Abu Dhabi with her family for a few years before moving to Singapore. She is fluent in English and Japanese. Her interesting background allows her to enrich students' learning experience – making her a dynamic and compelling Korean language instructor.
She attained her Korean Language Teaching Certificate from Yonsei University.
Having lived in Australia and Malaysia before moving to Singapore, it's no wonder that Teacher Ahn is fluent in English as well as in her native Korean. Teacher Ahn has a vibrant and cheerful spirit which makes students feel comfortable speaking to her.
She attained her teaching license in Seoul back in 2018, but she is already very well-versed with teaching and her students love her.
Although not required and taken into account when registering language teachers with Singapore's Ministry of Education, teachers in HANOK hold certificates for teaching Korean as a Foreign Language approved by Korea's National Institute of Korean Language. Many teachers living outside Korea take up the online training and pass a written and practical examination to receive the certification.
Level 3 is the most basic level and Level 1 is the highest, base on their Korean language teaching experience and relevant academic background.

Recently a work colleague approached me with a request for a custom feature in Maya.
The request was for a custom tool that replicated the Maya timeline and it's tools in a torn off window.
The colleague has a thing for large windows when animating, they enjoy a very custom setup.
Tools that are going to be used are the best kind to make.
This is written entirely for Pyside, using a method for controlling Maya elements using pointers shown to me by Malcom.
As it's written for pyside/Maya 2014+ you need not install anything to use it.
The timeline
As I looked a little deeper into this I came across this with the timeline:
From the Maya docs here
Note: only one timeControl may be created. The one Maya creates on startup can be accessed from the global string variable $gPlayBackSlider. Also, it is not a good idea to delete it.
So there can be only one, and yes I deleted it a few times. You do not want that, it does not come back.
So this tool rips the timeline from Maya and re parents it into the QT window, Holding a reference to the location it came from.
It then puts the timeline back on the close event of the QT window.
Range control
Creating the range control is straight forward as there can be more than one of these see here.
Other features
The tool will store the position and size of the window when the window is closed. It will then restore to this location/dimensions on next use.
There other elements are all QT.
The script can be downloaded here
Installation and use
- Unzip and copy the to "timelineCtrl" folder to maya script folder for example:
- C:\Users\YourName\Documents\maya\scripts
- run Maya, open script editor (Python window) and type in:
- import timelineCtrl
- timelineCtrl.run()
The import and timeline control lines can also be saved off to the shelf for easy use.
And boom, tool is good to go.
Alternate use method
If you have a thing for not installing scripts you can do the following:
- Copy the contents of "BigTimelineWindow.py"
- Paste this into a python script editor window
- Run the code
Note: The refreshing of the states in the torn of window currently do not update as well as they could.
Tested on windows only, will note work with pre-Maya 2014 as Pyside is not part of the standard install.

Chabad launches Russian American Jewish initiative
By: Betty Nelander
Palm Beach Daily News
Friday, January 20, 2017
Celebrating at the Russian American Jewish Hanukkah event are, from left, Hindel Levitin holding Mendel Levitin, Rabbi Zalman Levitin holding Alta Shula Levitin, Alex Chervinsky (host) and his daughter, Kayla. Left to right (bottom row): Musia Levitin holding a blow-up dreidel, Zoe Chervinsky and Jonathan Chervinsky.
The Chabad House has a new initiative that unites members of the Russian American Jewish community.
The first event was a Hanukkah celebration led by the Chabad and Rabbi Zalman and Rebbetzin Hindel Levitin. There was kosher food, Jewish music with a DJ, dancing and camaraderie. "It was very warm and friendly, like one big family," said guest Rosa Taitler.
Although Rosa Taitler left the former Soviet Union in 1978 under Leonid Brezhnev, she remembers the religious persecution. Synagogues were non-existent, having been converted to warehouses and movie theaters or demolished.
"This is the country against God," she recalled. "In the schools and the universities, they brainwashed the children: No God. No God.
Taitler was among those who spoke at the gathering. Her husband, Jack, supervised 600 employees at a construction company but was fired for his Jewish faith, she said.
"We came to the United States with $300 in our pockets," she said. Other family members emigrated to Israel but her husband's dream was to go to the United States, she said.
The Taitlers' journey took them to Chicago before retiring to Palm Beach. She now lives in Jupiter; her husband died in 1997.
Rosa Taitler anticipates attending more Russian-American Jewish events. The Chabad is planning a Purim night with wines, pastries, and a bagels-and-lox buffet on March 11.
There is also a new Torah class for the Russian American Jewish community at 7 p.m. Mondays in memory of Gregory Rosenstein.
For more information, call Levitin at 347-564-8393 or visit palmbeachjewish.com.
Hosts for the Hanukkah event included Alex Chervinsky, Henry and Svetlana Kamenezki and Rabbi Zalman and Hindel Levitin.
Gala event — About 50 women turned out for a "Navigating the Waves of Life Boat Ride" hosted jan. 11 by the Jewish Women's Circle of Palm Beach aboard the luxury yacht Majestic Princess.
Speaker Amanda Dawn Spiro shared her story of losing a best friend in a car accident to her own recovery from cancer, including how God and mitzvahs helped her.
"Amanda went from being a Jew at heart to a Jew in action. … Everyone could relate in some way to remember to tap into the messages that God sends our way," said Hindel Levitin.
Yonina & Miriam entertained, and guests enjoyed "cafe in a basket" as the sun set.
Among the highlights was the song I Believe in Hashem, a "reminder that everything is in God's hands."
