By Christopher Story FRSA, Editor and Publisher, International Currency Review, World Reports Limited, London and New York: www.worldreports.org. Press NEWS and the ARCHIVE Button on the www.worldreports.org Home Page for our 'Wantagate' reports since April 2006.
• The white panel below NEWS gives details of our intelligence titles as they are published.
• FORTHCOMING WANTAGATE ISSUE OF INTERNATIONAL CURRENCY REVIEW: We are preparing a very extensive issue of the financial journal in which every stage of this crisis since June last year will be displayed. This issue will be mailed to subscribers worldwide in the first quarter of this year, and will provide a permanent record, which cannot be expunged, of the multiple twists and turns of this historically unprecedented criminalism crisis, with every sordid detail recorded both for immediate further enlightenment, for future study, and for posterity.
Not a single facet of this hideous crisis has been left out of the record, so that no attempt to cover up what has been going on, is possible. Subscribers will receive their issues under their current arrangements. Others who wish to receive this special issue should use the Contact Us facility on this website to ask for details and specify how many copies of this huge report/issue they would like to receive. Book early while stocks last. We will not be sending free copies: details on request. Order your copy EARLY! This is such a huge undertaking that we have to restrict the print run.
• Please Make a Donation, if you feel able to do so, to help finance Christopher Story's ongoing financial global corruption investigations. Your assistance will be very sincerely appreciated and will make a real difference, hastening the necessary resolution of the worst financial corruption and linked financial fallout in world history. Our Wantagate reports have been calling all the shots, given the hijacking of Wanta's Settlement.
• This is the 98th Wantagate report: well over a million words to date.
• BOOKS: 'The Red Terror in Russia', by Sergey Melgounov, is published by Edward Harle Limited and available via this combined website. It describes what the Dark Forces pulled off in Russia, and what they may have in mind for the United States and Britain (a.k.a. 'the Main Enemy') if we do not pull ourselves together. See also the Editor's 740-PAGE book 'The New Underworld Order', for the detailed background on the World Revolution crisis that we are all living through.
• Note: Kindly keep on not shooting the messenger. The following report is based upon our best information and belief. If matters turn out differently, or the timeframe changes, as has occurred since 9th February, this will reflect developments AFTER collection of the intelligence contained herein. We have flies on walls all over the place, but sometimes they may be on the wrong walls, or the right walls at the wrong time. Abusive, rude and anonymous emails are forwarded to a separate box and are held with the option of exposing their provenance should we so decide. Which we may.
'Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some Judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both'.
The following report has been prepared in response to a disinformation attack named 'Wanta Fraud' posted on an 'intelligence' website. We are not going to argue with these people.
The present temporary posting may only remain on the screen for about 24 hours, whereupon the 'Wantagate Obfuscation: 'Operation Double-Cross'' report posted on the 3rd March 2008, will be restored, because it is much more important. (It will then be possible to access the present report via the Archive). One purpose of the 'Wanta Fraud' attack was to antagonise this Editor so that he removes the 'Operation Double-Cross' report from the screen. Sorry, mate, no can do.
It is possible that we will need to make an announcement soon, in which case the above schedule will have to be amended accordingly. However the current intention is to restore the 3rd March report [you can access it now, of course, by pressing Archive].
'Wanta Fraud', the lightning, overnight diversion-disinformation riposte to the Editor's 'Wantagate Obfuscation: 'Operation Double-Cross' report posted on 3rd March 2008, cannot be dignified with any detailed response because the source does not identify himself, and therefore by definition lacks all credibility. It masquerades as an altruistic gesture intended to 'help Christopher Story to understand the truth'. Its problem is that the source of this 'truth' is a nest of lying vipers.
The latest attack is identical in format to the diversionary smokescreen promulgated ever since the main theft was perpetrated many years ago. The model is to paint those who are telling the truth as sources of disinformation, when in fact those who are spewing out disinformation are parties who are trying to cover their tracks, to stay out of jail, and to hold onto stolen funds. Nothing new here.
Unlike the information that is provided by the Editor of this service, none of the 'lines' promulgated in 'Wanta Fraud' can be taken as authoritative (with the exception of certain isolated second-hand references, and information on The Queen and Blair about which we know a great deal), since their provenance is UNKNOWN and therefore suspect.
Overall, 'Wanta Fraud' represents a gross calumny against Ambassador Leo Emil Wanta, known personally by this Editor as a distinguished American patriot, a kind and thoughtful friend, and a religious man. It is a crude disinformation attack timed of course in response to the bulls'-eyes scored by our 'Operation Double-Cross' report, with which, by the way, Colonel Dana Wilcox says he is 'in 100% agreement'. That report achieved its objectives, we can assure you.
The 'Wanta Fraud' attack fool(s) showed their hand(s) immediately by venting about the fake CIA cover false-front operation calling itself the Durham Trust.
One purpose of this 'Wanta Fraud' intervention is to reiterate and revive old CIA lies which were 100% discredited when the CIA's 'master lie', that Wanta was dead – fed to the compartmentalised Agency cadres and the international financial community – was blown to smithereens when Wanta surfaced after this Editor paid $35,000 of his own private funds in July 2005 to finance the extortion money needed by the Wisconsin Department of Corrections to shorten Wanta's probation.
That private intervention was successful, and as a consequence, Wanta 'ceased to be dead' with effect from 21st July 2005, when the Editor's funds were paid over – resulting in Wanta receiving an Absolute Discharge effective the 14th November 2005, instead of remaining under his restricted probation until 28th November 2010, as intended.
When Ambassador Wanta 'ceased to be dead', ALL THE CIA'S OLD LIES ABOUT LEO WANTA COLLAPSED – EVERY ONE OF THEM – even though demented spooks such as those motivating the Durham Trust diversion haven't grasped this reality yet. Everyone else has, though.
All this, with hundreds of pages of authoritative back-up Wanta banking and other documentation, has long since been published in successive issues of International Currency Review, copies of which are in the public domain all over the world, and which these craven Agency disinformation specialists, who have nothing else to do, perversely and dishonestly overlook – so that they can retail their old CIA lies 'as new' to people who have not seen the journal either, and who may be rendered so confused by these relentless outbursts of CIA deception, that they wind up emulating Lord North – a British 19th Century Prime Minister nicknamed 'the cushion', because he resembled the shape of the person who last sat on him.
The tired and discredited 'intelligence hacks' in question are trying to establish a belated 'ying-yang' dialectical 'head-game' verbal fight with the Editor of this service – something that the same disinformation operatives associated with the tell-tale fictitious CIA 'Durham Trust', significantly set up in the year of Kennedy's assassination, 1963, have been attempting to do for two years now.
The amateur compiler(s) of this offensive, who have shown unwittingly that they have no idea who belonged to President Reagan's 'kitchen cabinet', revealed 'its/their' hand by rabbiting on about this diversionary CIA 'Durham Trust' operation, which remains activated in order to discredit Wanta.
The dubious source's comments that 'my life and the lives of my family would be in jeopardy if this information was known to have come from myself', are laughable: we ALL have families, including the Editor of this service, who has received 13 death threats. This 'justification' for anonymity is a spurious and cowardly excuse that carries no conviction, especially as the crude source has made certain serious mistakes which indicate that his claim to be an especially privileged possessor of classified intelligence information is also spurious, as will be explained.
Both the Durham Trust operation and the constant diversionary 'line' that government and related structures in the United States have been 'duplicated', are designed to convey the entirely false and misleading impression that it is neither here nor there what the outcome of this millennial crisis will be, because the funds can never be paid to the correct accounts (or paid at all); and even if they were so remitted, they could never be accessed at all by the rightful owners because of the duplicated control mechanisms and prior or other claims, and because layers of 'other trusts' are stacked on top of the relevant trust documents: all of this is sterile, instrumental, CIA-generated, programmed disinformation hogwash, designed to mask the complicity of the Bush Crime Family and its CIA intelligence criminal associates in the original and subsequent thefts.
Certain trusts and trustees are fake, or duplicated (as per the dialectical norm), conforming to the Leninist model – namely, that formally signed documents can be abrogated and the obligations arising from them flouted at will. They have no validity. Pontificating about them is what some of these people, who have nothing else to do, specialise in.
The parallel tripe about the Count of St Germaine, which recalls old Rosicrucian lies and fairytales originally triggered by Sir Francis Bacon, is all part of this fog of 'Black' geomasonic disinformation claptrap, regurgitated to envelop the original thefts and their perpetrators, and their subsequent endless financial and other crimes and associates, in a fragile protective coating of trite, godless mystique and unverifiable disinformation.
Given the Virtual Keyboard Device's references in earlier diatribes to Peruvian 'assets', it is worth noting that certain Peruvian nationals were expelled from the United States following the Kennedy Assassination. In Peru, the odious CIA funds death squads and other gross revolutionary hooligan operations. Peruvians expelled after the Kennedy assassination reappeared as permanent US residents some years later. Leo Wanta was investigating the Kennedy assassination in the early 1980s, when he was operating in Wisconsin under cover for the FBI using the corporation Falls Vending Service(s), investigating the Balisteri Crime Family, linked to the Chicago mob, suspected of having been involved in the assassination.
The author(s) of this diatribe cherry-pick amateurishly through thickets of partial 'information', using loose phraseology such as 'classified 'Top Secret'', which no professional employs. Anyone even alluding to such a term, implying that information being divulged is 'classified 'Top Secret'', places himself in danger of being charged with espionage, or being fingered as a foreign agent. Accordingly, even alluding to 'classified 'Top Secret'' information is hazardous in the extreme, whether such 'information' is presented anonymously or not (since all electronic communications are traceable back to source) – making it quite clear that this diatribe is wholly spurious.
They characterise the Editor as one of Mr Wanta's 'cronies', a piece of gratuitous and ignorant rudeness which flies in the face of the fundamental point that the Editor launched this whole investigation himself, prompted by no-one (see below).
The Editor went to Wanta, not the other way round.
The use of the phrase 'up the river, in a canoe, without any paddles', an American (not British) usage, recalls, not coincidentally, the murder of the late Director of Central Intelligence, William Colby, who was sacked under pressure from the Deutsche Verteidigungs Dienst (DVD) agent Dr Henry ('call me 'Henny') Kissinger, and was replaced with the DVD successor of Admiral Canaris (Samuel Randall Pittman), namely George H. W. Bush Sr. – a coup whereby the DVD took over the CIA (which is why Langley was renamed the George Bush Center for Intelligence, thereby 'locking' the DVD into Langley for good).
The diversionary 'advice' about the World Court in the diatribe conveniently omits the reality that the US Supreme Court has authorised World Court /ICJ jurisdiction in respect of certain delineated matters arising from the Bush-Clinton-Cheney financial criminality. For instance, two US Supreme Court Justices and one retired US Supreme Court Justice, who travelled to Germany in February 2007, conveyed US legal power to the Justices of an ICJ 'ad hoc' Tribunal, for named perpetrators of massive ongoing international financial crimes to be arrested on US soil, as well as elsewhere. [See Wantagate posting dated 10th February 2007, and International Currency Review, Volume 33, Numbers 1 & 2, page 379]. Subsequent transfers of such powers have also taken place.
Thus the familiar, hackneyed argument that the writ of the International Court of Justice (and/or the World Court) does not run within the United States has been overturned for the purposes of this massive international criminal investigation. Such developments are secret, but information about these matters has been leaked, and published on this website with no retaliation from any of these superior courts. Reiteration of this canard indicates that the source has never read the relevant report and has no knowledge of International Currency Review.
How gracious of the anonymous author(s) of 'Wanta Fraud' to vouchsafe to 'put the Editor straight'! And how condescendingly he falls into his own flaccid trap! For starters, he ends his 'putting you straight' response to our report with a reference to the 'Level 1-3 International Security Rating' clearance codes. For the information of all who read this, anybody who knows anything about clearances NEVER MENTIONS THEIR EXISTENCE. They cannot even be acknowledged to one's spouse, or when one testifies.
This gross faux-pas alone indicates that this 'timed' disinformation attack is spurious. No 'serious' operative would EVER reveal the existence of these clearance levels. It is done here in order to give this false and misleading, diversionary attack a spurious credibility – as are the references to assassinations at the beginning of the report: yes, some people may well have been killed. But not because they were leaking secrets: US operatives get killed (or placed into solitary confinement in Denver) because they steal money.
Secondly, the anonymous distraction operative condescends to explain his response to our report, which caused mayhem in many dark places and destabilised stacks of domestic and international operations simultaneously, by kindly informing us that 'it is time to strike out and enlighten you to the truth'. If it is 'time' now, WHY was it not 'time' back in June 2006 when we first had to begin to promulgate the arms'-length truth about what was going on, and everyone 'in the know', knew at once what we were driving at? Are we are supposed to accept that TRUTH can be promulgated 22 months LATE by an ANONYMOUS hack or hacks with zero credibility, when the truth is indivisible and could have been divulged 22 months earlier?
Some gullible 'observers' who ought to know better have fallen for this tripe. They should be ashamed of themselves, but in so doing they have revealed their singular lack of discernment.
Thirdly, at 2: 10pm on 4th March, the Editor received his 13th death threat, a most explicit one this time, from 'the Black voice' (referenced earlier), the details of which were recorded and will be elaborated upon at a time of the Editor's choosing. If the Editor of this service is a 'useful idiot' who has been conned by Ambassador Wanta, why has he received 13 death threats, and WHY was such a threat, the most explicit to date, specifically linked to the 3rd March report, received only a few hours after it was posted? If the Editor is of no consequence and has got everything wrong (which no-one who knows anything at all believes to be the case), why did he receive this death threat only hours after we posted the damning report dated 3rd March 2008?
The stupid, cowardly anonymous voice, mouthed the following into our voicemail:
'Yes, Mr Story. We hear your messages. There is a way out. We can offer you a way out. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?'. Thanks for the warning.
In the fourth place, the US disinformation apparat – or elements thereof, especially those parties THAT MAY NOT BE GOING TO GET PAID – appear to believe that the arms'-length UK Editor of this service is an appendage of Leo Wanta and Michael C. Cottrell, M.S., some kind of lackey or stooge ('crony'). This shows that they have failed to do their homework.
Professionally, the Editor has to operate at arms' length from both, and undertook the leg-work and research which led to Wantagate, entirely of his own accord, having gathered an immense amount of evidence for several years beforehand.
As stated above, the Editor went to Wanta, not the other way round. He did this because it is the job of the Editor of the world's only established currency journal to make it his business to know what is going on behind the scenes, as far as possible, in order to serve our subscribers better. Surely, this fact must be obvious to anyone who is not sitting on their brains?
He has been publishing International Currency Review since 1970, is in nobody's pocket (as the 'Operation Double-Cross' report should surely have made abundantly clear), and contrary to some malicious suggestions, takes orders from no-one.
He has collaborated with the Ambassador and Michael C. Cottrell, M.S. pro bono publico and for no other reason. There is no ulterior motive, never has been, and of course, as repeatedly stated at the foot of each report, the Editor is not an intelligence operative or an agent for a foreign power. The word 'intelligence' is a generic word in common usage, cannot be copyrighted by anyone, and is used because WE TRY TO STUDY INTELLIGENCE.
And the reason we do this is that the world is engulfed in an open-ended intelligence war, and since the intelligence sector has penetrated the other power centres, and is itself penetrated by organised crime, the 'bottom line' is that the world is engulfed in an organised criminal crisis (fomented by DVD, Dachau) which these odious US intelligence sector disinformation liars and deceivers and 'Black Hats' think they can exploit for their own ends, and to protect themselves.
If these people don't like being exposed, they should close down their criminal operations.
In the fifth place, the Editor received a number of emails on the 5th March from kind people in the United States who simultaneously indicated that they could not access this website. Access to this website from the UK and other countries was perfect, as of 5th March.
The matter has been reported to and discussed with our specialist IT adviser, one of the best in Britain, and is being investigated. On past occasions when such interference with this website was reported, we issued a direct warning to the NSA, reminding them that their criminal operations against a foreign website are illegal, and the trouble stopped immediately.
Our IT specialist informs us that interference is traceable to ISPs in the United States, indicating clearly that the US disinformation apparat is responsible – which in turn further confirms the 'bulls-eye' status of the 'Operation Double-Cross' Report, that we know about anyway.
With 1175 delegates against Obama's 1307 delegates, criminal CIA operative Mrs Hillary Rodomski Clinton's situation following the latest polls remains unchanged. Her objective is to gain the White House in order to avoid being indicted for stealing vast sums of money, ordering murders, and other unspeakable crimes. Bill Clinton is sick and may cease to be a problem for her, but his own position becomes desperate if she fails to gain the Presidency. Hence, for both of these 'Black' operatives, their duplicate (Irish) passports may become their necessary lifelines.
Votes were of course stolen, certainly in Ohio (which specialises in vote-rigging) and Texas, where nobody yet dares stand up to the Bush Crime Thugocracy. As the delegate count shows, this latest voting fraud operation has not saved these criminals' bacon.
So they, their Bush Crime Family associates and their satraps inside the discredited disinformation apparat are throwing dirt at the Editor of this service from their 'anonymous coward' perches, in the hope that gullible readers will believe the same old claptrap and lies that were killed stone dead when Wanta himself 'ceased to be dead' in July 2005.
'Story: please accept our belated guidance, as Wanta has conned you'. Perhaps: we shall see…
Since the Editor did his own leg-work and private investigations for several years before actually visiting Mr Wanta and interviewing him personally in May 2004 and again in May 2005, and since the Editor is one of the 26 respositories of Mr Wanta's banking and other documentation (held in a safe location), and has published nearly 100 Wantagate reports on this website at his personal expense, has printed and distributed several huge and amply documented Wantagate issues of International Currency Review (which these US disinformation hacks always overlook) lodged with institutions, governments, central banks and agencies all over the world, has reported major Wantagate-related events and extremely damaging information about criminal enterprise institutions, holders of high office, central bank governors, arrests and shootings, and has remained in the driving seat at all times despite these death threats – anonymous 'Johnny-come-latelies' who suddenly represent that they 'know the truth', are naturally having a hard time making their distorted versions of 'the truth' stick. The only people liable to believe what such tainted US operatives promulgate are those who, for no fault of their own, cannot have any first-hand information and are swayed with the wind, as intended by the disinformation squad.
We are now advised that the German and British tax authorities' offensive against Liechtenstein, backed by a proposed European Commission Regulation requiring the divulging of bonds, shares and other investments, is targeted at massive stolen financial assets believed to be held by the Bush and Clinton Crime Families in Foundations in that location. Hillary Clinton's primary objective is not to become President of the United States, but rather to stay out of jail – even, alive.
The standard Leninist practice used by these disinformation specialists – and there are plenty of staff operatives in both the United States and the UK who can be ordered to dredge up old lies overnight on command, as is the case with this 'Wanta Fraud' attack – is always to incorporate some truth nestling amongst the lies and diversionary disinformation.
Thanks, therefore, for the 'confirmation' of our (already long since confirmed) report that Her Majesty The Queen's gold was stolen by the United States. And thanks for confirming our own published information that Blairski, implicated in this crime and many others, was indeed appointed as what amounts to a US Envoy enjoying full diplomatic immunity under cover of the fake Middle East post suddenly invented and conjured out of nowhere (within the space of three weeks) for his benefit – so as to prevent his arrest under the the World Court's warrant on criminal charges AS REVEALED EXCLUSIVELY BY THIS SERVICE: see posting dated 10th February 2007 [Archive].
Thank you so much for this kind confirmation of the ONGOING ACCURACY OF OUR REPORTS.
But now, without the benefit of a Level 1-3 International Security Rating which you assert precludes the Editor from knowing anything, may we enlighten you as to what is going on in Downing Street?
The UK intelligence operative, Anthony Charles Linton Blair, remains in Number 10 Downing Street, from where he is running 'an operation'. For this reason, Gordon Brown, the Prime Minister, cannot live at Number 10 Downing Street (even if that were practical: Mr Blair actually lived at Number 11, believe it or not). Brown continues to reside at his own digs, where he is being monitored 24/7 by his intelligence community wife, who is on the payroll.
Unlike the Clintons, these two get on well, and have encountered tragedies in their married life, which evoke human sympathy, shared by the Editor of this service.
Whether the 'split' between Blair and Brown was genuine or not, is now subject to considerable doubt: it was probably contrived. Our own interim assessment is that it was 'laid down' from the beginning, forming part of the UK intelligence community's disinformation barrage surrounding its direct control of Downing Street, and thus its direction of the British Government in line with the corrupt and decadent American political control model.
In other words, Blair is 'doing a Gorbachëv'. For our old friend Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachëv (né Orbach, or Korbach, of Jewish extraction), remains ensconsed in the Kremlin, in exactly the same position of supreme power that he has occupied ever since he was appointed head of the CPSU's Administrative Department by Yuri Andropov (Lieberman).
Blair sits inside Downing Street, emulating, therefore, the Soviet control model.
Spot of 'convergence' here, eh? It should be added here that when we hinted in a transatlantic telephone call that we would be revealing that Blair is running an operation from inside Number 10 Downing Street, the many eavesdroppers in the United Kingdom got very twitchy and conveyed by means of 'scratchy' noises (as these people always do, thus blowing their cover) that they were not at all keen on this proposition. Too bad. All this deception stinks.
Finally, the Editor would like to stress that he remains a special personal friend of Ambassador Wanta (according to the Ambassador's own words last November), who has specifically pronounced the same sentiments in reverse – and that a primary purpose of our report dated 3rd March 2008 was to pre-empt and derail double-cross operations mounted against him by his subversive and duplicitous enemies who, as explained in the report, have been hell-bent on stealing the entire estimated $400 trillion of funds, including all the assets that Leo Wanta owns and of which he is the sole Principal, including his 'compromise' $4.5 trillion.
The report was also, indeed primarily, aimed at precluding Leo Wanta's assassination.
No wonder they have tried to impede the dissemination of the report dated the 3rd March in the United States – thereby further confirming the accuracy of our revelations.
As for the allegation that the Editor has been conned by Mr Wanta, this can not only be refuted by the documented evidence that the Editor holds and by everything that he has already published in print and here on this score, but it also ignores that fact that the Editor of this service INITIATED THE SEQUENCE OF EVENTS THAT WE CALL WANTAGATE when he paid $35,000 of his very own scarce private funds, to buy Wanta's release from his unlawful probation.
No-one spends his own money pro bono publico without being absolutely certain beforehand that the purpose for which the funds are to be needed is genuine and true. Ambassador Wanta did not initiate the Editor's intervention: the Editor did this entirely of his own accord.
We do not, therefore, need to be fed old lies by Old Trolls Under the Bridge and new trolls trying to avoid being jailed along with the Bush and Clinton Crime Families, and who are not going to get paid, when the Editor is more than satisfied that what he has published to date represents largely the truth, or very close to it, ASSUMING THAT HE HIMSELF HAS NOT BEEN DECEIVED – and when these people throw sand in everyone's faces AFTER we have exposed them for the slugs and serial criminals that they are. They chose the course they would follow. They will finally wind up paying the price.
People with discernment can tell who is telling the truth: and it is certainly not the author (or joint authors) of the disorganised, diversionary disinformation, containing tell-tale indications as to its provenance, labelled 'Wanta Fraud', that has been cobbled together in response to our report dated 3rd March 2008.
BUT it is possible to tell the truth having been lied to or double-crossed. An experienced and sophisticated intelligence operative can sustain a disinformation stance for years with the intention of double-crossing those who have placed their trust in him or her, at a late stage of the operation. Such an operative uses the person who places their trust in him without conscience. Any such outcome maximises bitterness, about which such people are usually indifferent, while at the same time greatly increasing the chances of a 'train wreck'. It is madness, but they thrive on it.

I'm so excited to be starting this blog and look forward to sharing with you my inspirations for design, as well as fashion and business tips and lots more. I also hope you'll share your thoughts about the world of design, what inspires you and of course your favourite handbag and accessories!
To introduce you to CarrieMe (http://www.carrieme.co.uk/), I would like to tell you a bit about me, my influences and my story. Besides experiencing lots of hard work, laughter and excitement, there are several other things that have helped me to build CarrieMe and first of all is my love of travelling.
An explorer at heart, I have lived from a young age all over the globe in
India, Sri Lanka, Morocco and Europe, as well as travelled extensively around Asia and South America….
This has fuelled my love of colours and cultures which I want to share with you through my accessories line.
Being a Londoner at heart has also influenced the CarrieMe brand... as one of the fashion hubs of the world and I am very privileged to call it home. I love it that I can just walk down certain streets to see the latest fashion trends on 'real' models, whether it be Portobello Market (near the office), Soho, Oxford St or Bond St.
They say that the city of
never sleeps and neither does fashion or style, so naturally, some of the most stylish trends are born here. The translation of fashion from the catwalk to high street takes about 9 weeks so we're much more trend-savvy, which is another thing I love and can't wait to share with you through the CarrieMe brand. London
Well, I hope you guys agree and would love to hear your comments.
Its been nice getting this on paper, online, well you know what I mean. I hope you're enjoying it and I can't wait to share more.

Laughter in the Dark
I don't mean to brag but I used to read books. Yeah, it's true. Ask just about anybody. One night, about 12 years or so ago, I was finishing up reading this awesome book by Vladimir Nabokov called Laughter in the Dark and as I got to the last chapter, it hit me: I had seen the movie adaptation of this book before (perhaps on cable when I was a kid). The climax of Nabokov's sardonically cruel thriller (a prototype for Lolita) is amazing and unforgettable and the filmmakers had done an awesome job putting it on the screen. As for the rest of the movie, I couldn't really remember any of it (and that may or may not be a comment on the film's quality; I just don't recall anything else). The next day, I checked my local video store and couldn't find a copy of the film. Pretty soon, Laughter in the Dark slipped my mind and years went by before I thought about it again.
When I did think of it again, IMDB told me that it starred the great Nicol Williamson of The Seven-Per-Cent Solution and Exorcist III and it also told me that it wasn't available on VHS or DVD. Upon further investigation, anyone who wants to see Laughter in the Dark is pretty much screwed. I can't even find a bootleg of this damn thing. I can't even find a friggin' trailer on Youtube. Jeez! Every couple of years, I run into the book on my shelves and I decide to go and hunt for the film again. If any of you crazy kids have seen this flick, let me know if I should just give up looking for it (even though I won't). And if you happen to have a copy, please please please please please please please hook me up.

Awesome post!ReplyDelete
I've read the book about four times in English and twice in it's original Russian incarnation(as "Kamera Obskura"). Nabokov himself preferred the English version which he considered more polished.
I've been dying to see the film for years.
You're actually the first person on the net that I know of who have seen this film.
Cheers for the lobby cards.
What an awesome idea - Karina in a Tony Richardson movie!
I've not posted many comments on your blog, but I've consistently enjoyed your writing, both here and at Doomed Moviethon. I've nominated you for a Versatile Blogger award.ReplyDelete

Best wishes,
@Alex - I sure hope this flick surfaces. I sure would like to see it again. I don't even know how I old I was when I saw it.ReplyDelete
@Neil - Hey duder, thanks for the nomination!
I caught the film at the legendary "UC Theatre" in Berkeley in the late 1970s, having already read the book (same paperback depicted on this page) along with everything else of Nabokov's I could devour by that time. The one explicitly sexual scene was so clumsily done (in fairness, English-language directors were still learning the ropes here in 1969) that jeers and catcalls erupted spontaneously from the theatre audience, but I remember the rest of the film as having been very well done, notwithstanding the change of venue from 1930s Berlin to late-sixties Swinging London. Like you, I yearn for its eventual reappearance (but geez! --I was in my twenties for that screening, and am now heading toward my sixtieth summer).ReplyDelete
@Rand - Whoa! Thanks for the insight. It is nice to hear about how the crowd reacted to the film. Let's hope this film finally resurfaces.ReplyDelete

The Open Library Welcomes the World at Home
Comunidad de Madrid, Subdirección General de Bibliotecas
Multilingual services and bilingual intercultural mediators create inclusive public space and a sense of welcome for new communities
In 2005, the public library system in the Comunidad of Madrid took a bold step towards inclusion. Recognizing the region's growing immigrant population (17 % in 2010), it launched a project to facilitate the integration of newcomers. Initially focusing on language barriers, the Biblioteca Abierta (Open Library) introduced new multilingual collections and services such as Spanish language lessons and computer literacy courses. As an essential public resource and form of public space, multilingual library services are both inclusive and able to foster a sense of connection and belonging.
Inspired by the success of public library programs like the "New Americans" program at Queens Library, New York, the Comunidad of Madrid has developed the Biblioteca Abierta to promote equity and greater social cohesion across the city. Funded by a number of Comunidad ministries, the Biblioteca Abierta initiave has three objectives: to overcome language barriers through knowledge of the Spanish language and culture; ensure all residents have equal opportunities through workshops; and allow everyone to share in each other's cultures.
Cultural Centres in Your Local Library
Research into the city's local population showed not only that the city had a growing immigrant population, but that there was significant demand from these "new neighbours" for reading and book lending services, and periodicals and audio-visual material in their own languages. As there are no other bodies in the region which provided these services, the Biblioteca Abierta program created "Cultural Interest Centres" within public libraries to provide information, guidance and mediation, as well as access to the culture of different countries. In these centres, both immigrants and the local population can enjoy the riches of the many cultural communities living in Madrid and take part in cultural activities such as discussions, meetings with writers, cinema festivals, concerts, conferences, art exhibitions and workshops for children, including storytelling, reading workshops, writing workshops, and more.
To attract immigrants who may have never used the public library system, the Biblioteca Abierta recruited 40 fully bilingual intercultural mediators, fluent in Spanish and in one of the other languages represented in the newcomer community and in its new multilingual collections – Arabic, Romanian, Russian, Bulgarian, and Chinese (Romanians and Moroccans make up the largest groups). Many of the mediators had experience working in the libraries' language-specific cultural centres and were well-positioned to promote libraries to the city's newest communities and actively engage their participation , using information and materials specifically developed for newcomers.
Each centre in the Biblioteca Abierta has a variety of resource materials, including approximately 100 items aimed at teaching Spanish to newcomers. Each language-specific centre also contains works most representative of the literature, music and films of that language. To ensure that the cultural learning is two-way, translations into Spanish of important authors are offered as well as books about the home country's history, geography and culture.
Library activities that facilitate social inclusion include social events, breakfasts for intercultural dialogue, children's workshops, exhibitions as well as workshops featuring topics such as immigration, violence, cultural prejudice and healthy eating. To make sure that these programs meet the needs of everyone in Madrid, special coordinators train staff to understand the Biblioteca Abierta's open, intercultural approach – from promoting active tolerance and overcoming ethnocentrism to establishing links between communities and seeking common areas of understanding amid the cultural diversity of the city.
Biblioteca Abierta, Madrid's Open Library project, has been able to draw on average 15,000 to 20,000 people annually to participate in its activities, many entering a library for the first time. The number of bilingual intercultural mediators has increased from 40 at the program's start to over 275 within 20 cultural centres. Workshops about everyday life in Madrid (job seeking, citizen rights, health and more) have proven popular particularly within the Moroccan community where a majority of participants are women. The library has also finally addressed an important missing component of their collections – other languages from Spain – and added Catalan, Galician and Basque into the system. More languages have been added to the collections, including German, French, English, Hungarian, Italian and Portuguese.
So far more than 50 libraries in 24 municipalities within the wider urban region of the Comunidad of Madrid – from the city of Madrid with a population of over 3 million to urban "villages" with less than 5,000 inhabitants – have tailored the Biblioteca Abierta to meet the needs of local communities.
Making it Work for You:
- Look to well-established and successful programs for inspiration when developing new services or to serve new client groups.
- Immigrant populations, like the diversity of the modern city generally, are dynamic and always changing. Be prepared to adjust your services and program delivery accordingly.
- Recruit fully-bilingual "mediators" to act as cultural ambassadors who can bridge linguistic and cultural differences within communities.
- Design programming that can address both the specific needs of your user groups and be useful to all residents.

Screening Liberally Big Picture
An Inconvenient Truth, Multiplied by 18? We're On Board.Submitted by Josh Bolotsky on Fri, 09/12/2008 - 5:17pm.
We're unabashed huge fans of Particpant Media - and not just because the Director of Screening Liberally, Wendy Cohen, has found a wonderful home there promoting progressive media (though that certainly doesn't hurt.) It's just that, between An Inconvenient Truth on the climate crisis, The Visitor on post-9/11 xenophobia and Standard Operating Procedure on Abu Ghraib and the mindset that allowed it, they're doing such a great job fulfilling their mission statement as a production company with a conscience, spreading a progressive message with a spoonful of sugar when necessary.
Which is why we were so overjoyed to read this:
Los Angeles-based entertainment company Participant Media has partnered with imagenation abu dhabi to create a $250 million fund that will finance 15 - 18 narrative features over five years, Jim Berk, CEO of Participant and Edward Brogerding, CEO of Abu Dhabi Comany and imagenation announced Wednesday.
A Lobby of Our OwnSubmitted by Justin Krebs on Wed, 09/03/2008 - 5:46pm.
Tonight at the Liberal Lounge, we'll be watching Palin's speech, enjoying complimentary drinks and food, lounging in the garden, and generally treating ourselves the way lobbyists and power-brokers are often treated...but we'll be doing it our way.
That means it's a party for citizen journalists (bloggers), citizen delegates (activists), and citizen lobbyists -- all of us.
Participant Media is encouraging all of us to become Citizen Lobbyists -- with a new site tied to their upcoming film "Casino Jack."
Check it out -- and we'll be checking out clips from Participant tonight at the Lounge. We'll be watching scenes from Chicago Ten -- check it out below:
Rachel Maddow Takes Down Pat Buchanan on SCHIPSubmitted by Seth Pearce on Wed, 08/20/2008 - 3:25pm.
Why Maddow MattersSubmitted by Justin Krebs on Wed, 08/20/2008 - 1:52pm.
Why are we all so excited about Rachel Maddow? News of her being tapped for own MSNBC program has excited the progressive grassroots/netroots, leading Living Liberally's blog to be "All Maddow, All the Time" today in her honor.
So what's the big deal?
Well, first of all, Maddow demonstrations that someone can graduate from the world of "progressive media" into a role in the "mainstream" media. People across the country know Maddow -- if not from her stints on Air America, then from her confrontations with Pat Buchanan and take-down Joe Scarborough. She has become a brand, a recognizable name and face, and -- according to that ultimate arbiter, the bottom-line of business-driven MSNBC -- a bankable commodity.
This is a great success for progressive media, and the components of it that had promoted Maddow at different parts in her career. And it's a signal to other smart, funny, liberal personalities that there is an avenue to advance their careers and their ideas.
Second, Maddow is a team player. She respects and engages the progressive movement. We, at Living Liberally, experienced that friendship when she wrote a guest post for Screening Liberally on her recommended weekend video rentals, and when she joined us for our 5th Anniversary party in May.
When we've asked her to participate, she's participated. That's a great quality.
And finally, it a strong, left-leaning voice will reach the homes of many more Americans. Yes, there are satiric news programs that do a great job challenging right-wing dominance, and some broadcasters like Keith Olbermann who challenge the administration, but we're still short on proud progressive personalities in the spotlight. The right has them. Now we have one more too.
Part of building a progressive movement is ensuring there are structures that recognize and promote talent: whether candidates, organizers or commentators. Maddow's next move shows that some of these structures are in place...we need to keep making them work.
And we need to tune in to MSNBC on Monday, September 8th at 9pm to help keep Maddow on the air.

The Power of Film and My PicksSubmitted by Wendy Cohen on Thu, 08/14/2008 - 11:55am.
The Power of Film
I love movies and I believe they can change the world. Seeing someone's face, hearing someone's voice brings you into a story and can inspire you in a way that no other media can. Films are transformative--you can briefly feel what is like in someone else's shoes. Films move someone from apathy to inspiration to action.
In an era of conglomerates and ownership, we have to rely on documentarians to show the stories rarely seen in the mainstream. And with the Internet, documentaries are more easily available, and we can more easily take part in this issues raised in the film.
My Film Picks
Philadelphia: This fiction film was based on a true story and it's one of the first big budget, big star movies to address AIDS and homosexuality. I was 12 years old when I saw the film in theaters with my family and remember feeling so devastated and speechless afterward. I certainly didn't know very much about AIDS, and I remember so clearly leaving the theater and not being able to describe how amazed I was--not only at the story but that a film could have such an impact. That film had such a profound impact on me and, for me, exemplifies what a film can do.
Promises: Filmmaker B.Z. Goldberg travels though the West Bank and Jerusalem to bring Israeli and Palestinian children together first through letters and phone calls and then in person. The film is such a personalized look at Middle East conflict and offers hope for resolution while showing how much hatred runs between both sides. There is remarkable scene of two soccer matches: one in a Palestinian refugee camp and one in Jerusalem. The boys are playing the same game and have the exact same excitement and emotion and then devastation when they lose. The games are cut together and it shows us how these boys are so similar but their worlds are completely disparate.
My Left Breast: This is a film about Gerry Rogers' journey as she battles breast cancer and turns to a video camera for catharsis and comfort. Gerry takes us to chemotherapy and family gatherings, and speaks to us in the middle of the night about how scared she is to lose this fight with her body. It is such an honest and intimate film and with Gerry's wit and candor it left me with the most inspiring outlook on life. It is certainly one of the films I most return to.
Murderball: This is such a mesmerizing and edge-of-your-seat sport documentary. Murderball is the non-commercial name for wheelchair rugby played by quadriplegic young men. It is a full contact, trilling game and this film shows us how the sport gives hope and meaning to the young men who have become disabled by tragic accidents. There is so much excitement and laughter throughout the film, and most amazingly, the film doesn't take the melodramatic, teary message route about living with a disability. These guys want to win medals; they are not looking for anyone's pity. And the thrill and suspense of the matches rival any fiction sport film out there.
Something Other Than Other: This experimental short film is one of the most beautiful and powerful I have seen. Filmmakers Jerry A. Henry and Andrea J. Chi made a video diary as they were pregnant with their first child and they use Super 8mm to give it the look and feel of old home movies. But they add a gorgeous and slightly unsettling, disjointed feeling throughout--much like the experience they had when their child was first born. My little cousin is biracial and this film is such moving short about what it is like to grow up biracial in America.
Some films I couldn't leave out...

Q: The idea of a few medium-intensity [subfailure] workouts after many weeks of going all out makes perfect sense to me. My question is, Should I reduce my poundages so I can do the same number of reps, or should I stick with my same working poundages and just do fewer reps? Which way is best?
A: We prefer to use the same phase-training approach Jonathan used on the 10-week Size Surge Program when he gained 20 pounds of muscle. For each of his two supercompensation weeks, he used the same work weights and just stopped two reps short of failure—and that worked amazingly well for him. He actually appeared to get bigger during each downshift week as his muscles and nervous system

I have worked in a variety of media, including sculpting, painting, printmaking and photography. Elements of each media are found in my current work. Urban scenes, weathered surfaces and abstract visual elements are themes that resurface in most of my work. Presently, I am concentrating on creating mixed media paintings, and exploring the ancient medium of encaustic and it's versatile characteristics.
I have a passion for traveling and studying the culture and architecture of the places I visit. Translating my visual experiences become an important source of reference, inspiration and energy in my work.
I treat each project as an open opportunity to explore and achieve a certain presence of individuality. Although, I start each piece with a concept in mind, during the process each work evolves and develops intuitively. My hope is that my work will inspire the viewer's imagination and will invite them to experience a memory, a place, or just a moment in time.

This time last week, Marc Webb and his Amazing Spider-Man sequel collaborators were looking for somebody "dark and edgy" to play Peter's chum, Harry Osborn.
But as of now, they to have changed their mind a little.
On The Hollywood Reporter's list of fresh candidates are Sam Claflin, Eddie Redmayne, Douglas Booth and Boyd Holbrook. That's a veteran of Pirates 4, of Les Miserables, of Noah and The Host respectively. I've seen Redmayne and Booth win plaudits for their performances… the other two, not so much. Not yet.
But they are athletic and good looking, and those are apparently the hot characteristics for an Osborn. This week.
Though – to complicate things somewhat – Booth has been spotted over at Marc Webb's place with Andrew Garfield and Dane DeHaan, one of the earlier, darker candidates for the role. Are they all just friends? Because, as our very own Linda Ge has noted, wouldn't it be kind of awkward to have multiple possible Harrys in the same place at once? Hasn't Marc Webb seen 2LDK?
One has to wonder if the film will feature more than one new, young male role, and if DeHaan and Booth have already filled those parts – or if they were at least about to take their parts in a three-way workshop of some kind.

Our software was built based on AbleTrend technology which has been around for more than ten years. When you are looking for trading decision-making software, you don't want to risk your hard earned money on any untested new approaches. "Time tested" is very crucial in selecting your trading tools.
Our universal indicators and system have been used for trading all markets, for example stocks, futures, commodities, Forex, mutual funds, etc. Since the software does not know the underlying markets and chart intervals, it is not possible for the software to curve-fit the data to come up with unrealistic results. This is extremely important because only a good universal system can be robust. Beware of the curve-fitting possibility if you see a system that performs very well for any specific market and interval.
When you look at a system, you need to look at the profit factor, maximum drawdown, winning rate and overall long-term performance. According to the regulation, it is not appropriate to offer general winning rate numbers since it would be misleading due to the generalization. The software offers all important and specific details in the back testing reports. You should be able to find the reports that are relevant and specific to your trading styles and strategies.
A higher winning rate is relatively easy to reach if you set the profit target very small. This will not help you to make a profit. This is the trick many vendors are playing. Please watch out.
|Longer time interval
|Shorter time interval
|Signal accuracy
|Trend last
|Anticipated reward
Every trader should pick the chart time interval according to his/her own risk tolerance, reward expectation, available time, market to trade, market instrument leverage, etc.
Typically, you select a relatively smaller time interval if the market instrument is heavily leveraged and your risk tolerance is low. You need to be able to follow the market in real time.
If you have a relatively large risk tolerance, you can use larger time interval chart.
Normally, 3/5 minute charts are for day trading, 30/60 minute chart is for swing trading and daily chart is for position trading.
Generally speaking, 100% mechanical trading means that you don't use any discretion during the trading. You follow the buy or sell trading signals generated by AbleTrend 7.0. In trading, when you check EBC (Entry at Bar Close) in the TS window, you will get the back testing report that matches the EBC execution method. EBC execution means that you will buy or sell if you see a stable buy or sell TS at the bar close. Actually, fully mechanical means that you cannot inject any discretion during the trading since your decision window (the time you spent to analyze the indicators and price action) is zero (at the bar close).
Here are the situations that are appropriate for fully mechanical trading:
STM can be used for any time interval, including smaller intervals (for example 2 minutes or 5 minutes). STM can be used for day trading, swing trading and position trading of all markets. The goal of the STM is to find the optimal low risk entry points with the maximum profit potentials. STM is easy-to-learn, easy-to-use. It is nearly fully mechanical, yet flexible enough to leverage traders' experiences.
Simplified Trading Method combines the strength of both the mechanical system and indicator packages.
Most people would like to use trading software to remove the guesswork and emotion. But they still like to have some control and flexibility.
STM is a perfect alternative for those people who actually don't need mechanical trading. In STM, all the rules and strategies are clearly defined and very easy to follow. Most rules of STM are pretty mechanical with colors, dots and values. It is nearly fully mechanical with the benefits of lower risks and higher rewards. It has the appropriate flexibility to positively leverage traders' experiences. The software objectivity is maximized and traders' discretion is minimized.
Whenever you hear a stock trading recommendation from someone or from some stock pick services, for example IBD's 100, VectorVest, newsletters or CNBC, you would like to take advantage of the potential price movement. But in reality, many stocks are at all time highs when you hear the recommendation. You don't necessarily make money if you jump in right away. Those stocks are basically not tradable because they miss the two most important elements for tradability. 1. The optimal entry point. 2. The specific protective stops. In order to take advantage of those stock pick services, you need to make them tradable, meaning that you need to know exactly when to open a position and what price to buy, you also need to know where to put your stops and when to exit - the timing element of a trade. Ablesys software can offer you the best entry points as well as the specific protective stop values so that you can trade with confidence and discipline.
Price charts have a few common styles:
All of these charts tell us how the market prices move up/down along the trading process. Time charts uses time as an axis (scale) while time independent charts uses bar count as an axis (scale). The natural course of a market move is price vs. time. Why do people use the extra step to form different types of a time independent chart? The main reason is that people hope to reduce noise of market movement and they might see the market trend (directions) better.
Heikin-Ashi candles are only a new type of time chart using new defined Japanese candlesticks. It doesn't solve the key issue - how to identify trend changes and where the support/resistance levels are.
Renko charts are one of the time independent charts. It ignores one of the most important factors in trading - time. As we know, time is everything in trading success. The time when to buy, when to sell, and when to exit are the key. Time independent charts try to ignore the normal market volatility to get an edge in trading. If you already use longer time interval charts such as 60-min, daily, or weekly charts, you already significantly reduce the market normal noise. If you use a 2-min chart before, now switch to 60-min chart, can you easily tell the market trend when you use such longer time charts? Yes, it can help, but the 60-min chart alone cannot replace "trend" indicators, such as AbleTrend. If you had used 60-min or daily charts before, you would understand what the Renko chart or Range chart can do for you. There is no magic of such "Time Independent" charts. For determining the trend or market directions, those are no better than using a longer time interval chart.
AbleTrend is a trend following indicator based on the fundamental principle of universal trend basics. It identifies trend change instantly. AbleTrend can be applied to any type of charts - time charts or "Time Independent" charts. It treats all charts the same way to determine the market directions.
Another key function of AbleTrend is it's unique protection stops. It tells the market direction and true support/resistance levels. None of the time chart or time independent charts can provide those abilities. Ability to know the trend is up or down, and ability to distinguish pull-back or trend reversed are the dream feature of every trader. These abilities are exactly the major features of AbleTrend trading software.
For short term real time trading: AbleFeed, eSignal, RealTick, or iQFeed can be used.
The software can also import any data from a text file, including tickdata, csi or other data.
FREE End of Day (EOD) for stocks, futures, forex and mutual funds data (over $360/year value) are available to all AbleTrend users now. The EOD data covers major exchanges of 29 countries including United States, Argentina, Austria, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Netherlands, Norway, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand and United Kingdom. Traders around the world can trade their local markets without the need to maintain the data. The software can automatically load the charts and give the buy/sell/stop signals.
WinTick is mainly used for searching the hot picks for all markets (more than ten thousand symbols).
AbleTrend 7.0, ASCTrend 3.5 can be used for EOD data as well as real time data. Competitively priced AbleTrend 7.0 EOD is for EOD data (included, FREE) only. All the versions will allow you to "import" historic data from a text file so that you can trade any markets with any time interval.
AbleTrend 7.0 has both trading system and indicators. It has back testing capability so that it can be used for 100% mechanical trading. It also has risk and money management systems built-in.
ASCTrend 3.5 has indicators only. They can be used for rule-based low risk/high reward trading. They have certain risk management features.
Yes. A trader designed this software so that colored bars and sound alerts are very easy to understand and interpret.
However, we would like to point out that trading is one of the most difficult tasks in the world. You do need to have a long-term business plan, proven strategies, powerful tools, good money management and some learning and hard work in order to come out ahead. We don't want to give you the false impression that this software will help you make money by itself. There are many scams to fulfill "the lazy man's dreams of getting rich fast". Please be aware.
The discount code or the promotion code will be used in the checkout page when you order the software license.
Yes. AbleTrend 7.0 can be installed on multiple PCs as long as you only run one copy at any time.
Yes. AbleTrend 7.0 has many traditional indicators (e.g. MA/EMA/RSI/MACD/Stochastic/BollingerBand/ADX/Volume) built in.
We offer a 30-day trial because we think this is the best way for traders to learn how to use our program and to evaluate how it fits in with their style of trading. The software available as a trial is fully functional software with all the necessary documents, support resources and one-on-one trading technique consultation. Traders who take advantage of the trial will have an opportunity to review and evaluate all features of the software and understand the associated trading techniques.
If the software fits your trading style, you can continue with an annual lease or a permanent purchase. If the software does not fit, you don't need to call or send an e-mail to cancel or terminate it. The trial will terminate by itself at the expiration of the 30-day license. We think this approach is also fair for traders since traders aren't required to make a large, upfront commitment.
The trial involves a small fee because it offers full power. Most importantly, our experience shows that only traders who make a commitment will allocate time to study the relevant trading rules and practice the appropriate trading techniques. The likelihood of success increases dramatically for traders who are willing to make a commitment to learn our software.
The 30-day trial is an important indication that we have full confidence in our software. We have been offering our services for more than ten years. Ablesys is a prestigious brand name in the high-end trading software business. We have many successful customers who voluntarily gave us their testimonials. Due to the long-term successful track record and customer feed back, the software has been granted numerous awards by Stocks & Commodities Magazine. Unlike some software vendors who charge you the full price up-front with very sleazy money back guarantees that you have only a remote chance of getting, we let you evaluate the complete software before you make any long-term commitment. We believe this is the best practice in the trading software industry.
No. At the end of the 30-day trial, you don't need to do anything (call or send e-mail to us) to stop the trial.
The trial will terminate by itself unless you upgrade to the annual license.
Traders need to make a long-term commitment. Trading strategies can be validated only with a reasonable numbers of trades. Your trading plan associated with your trading strategies should be executed long enough to see proper results. We think that a one-year lease is the minimum you should have before you could make any educated decision regarding your trading plan and associated trading strategies. Compared to a permanent purchase, a one-year lease has the benefit of a lower initial price. An annual lease customer also has the flexibility to use the remaining credit toward a permanent purchase any time during the lease period.
We understand that many traders would like to own the software instead of leasing. You can sign up for the trial first. If the software works for you, you can sign up the lease or permanent purchase. Any time during the lease, you can switch to permanent purchase of the software. You will be able to use the remaining credit in your lease arrangement towards the permanent purchase.
Sorry, we don't. You can take advantage of the low cost first month trial. If it works for you, you can sign up for the annual lease or purchase the software.
Trading stock options is mainly using daily charts with end of day (EOD) data. With back tested strategies, you know that you are trading strategies that are proven to be winning for historic data.
Our software will give the price direction indication in terms of buy/sell signals for the underlying stocks. You need to decide the right strategies with your trading experience and risk tolerance. In order to make it simple, you can use our software buy signals to buy calls and sell puts and sell signals to sell calls and buy puts.
Our system is for trading decision-making. You can use any brokerage firm to execute your orders if you take our signals and execute by yourself. If you would like to use AOE (Auto Order Execution -- fully hands-free electronic trading) feature, you need to work with one of our AOE brokerage partners. Please call 510-265-1883 for more information.
Many traders like AOE (Auto Order Execution -- fully hands-free electronic trading) feature. But as a beginner, we suggest you start with STM (Simplified Trading Method) first. It is easy to learn and easy to start. Once you have more confidence with our buy/sell/stop signals, you can migrate to AOE.
Yes. The 30-day trial version will let you trade any market. There is no market symbol control. When you upgrade to annual or permanent license, you have the choice of selecting market specific software, e.g. Forex, e-mini or stock to save money. The market specific software has the same features as the one in all markets. The only difference is the market symbol control.
AbleFeed is a white-label eSignal product. It offers the same high quality data feed service as the original eSignal. The only difference is that the AbleFeed can work with AbleTrend 7.0 and it will not work with eSignal charting software. Also, Ablesys offers the support and customer service and eSignal only supplies the data feed server access. In this arrangement, Ablesys is charging $25/month for the AbleFeed support/customer service. This $25/month is part of the $75/month AbleFeed base price quote. It is not something extra. In this case, eSignal only charge $30/month for the server access.
Most AbleTrend users trade on their PCs with online brokers that offer trading platforms to their clients. AbleSys 7.0 is an analysis tool, not a trading platform such as NinjaTrader or Trade Navigator. Trading platforms make online trading fast and efficient, but they may not actually help a trader to know when to enter or exit a trade. The AbleTrend 7.0 program offers proprietary signals that show trends and support/resistance levels. Most AbleTrend 7.0 users will use the AbleSys indicators to know when to trade, but use another platform to actually place the trades. A new module of AbleTrend 7.0 called Chart Trading (CT) allows users to place trades directly from AbleTrend 7.0.
AbleSys has very recently introduced a new function of AbleTrend 7.0 called Chart Trading (CT). The CT module allows traders to place trades directly from the AbleTrend 7.0 to an online broker. This module eliminates the need for a trading platform to place trades. Traders using CT can click on a chart to enter a buy/sell/stop order. This new module, therefore, integrates the AbleSys indicators with the actual trading. It allows AbleTrend 7.0 to be used as both an analysis tool and a trading platform. Online brokers compatible with CT are: TD Ameritrade, Interactive Brokers, Advanced Markets, FXCM, Open E-Cry, and PFG Best. Please contact your sales consultant for information on adding CT to your AbleTrend 7.0 license.
Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones' financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.

Fox and Rabbit's Idiot's Guide to The Owl and The Pussycat
This event has now finished!
Join the wayward Reynard. H. Fox and his reluctant sidekick Rabbit as they meander their inelegant way around the world of the Owl and the Pussycat in their beautiful pea-green boat.
Dodge the jellyfish in the deep blue sea, climb the bong-tree to meet the spirit who dwells within and journey with them to find the allusive and mythical shilling.
Aided by a rockabilly hog (Elvis Pigsley), a Compass Fish and a somewhat melodramatic turkey – can Fox and Rabbit get the Owl and Pussycat to the hill on time to finally tie the knot?
The MakeShift Ensemble bring a sense of adventure and humour to this wonderful retelling of Edward Lear's classic nonsense poem, brought to life with puppetry and live music. Bring your imaginations and your runcible spoons and be entertained whatever your age.
For ages 4 yrs +
This event takes place at The Boat Shed on Exeter's quay

Create a video ad sequence campaign
You can create a video ad sequence to drive deeper awareness of your product or service. In this article, you will learn how to create and edit a video ad sequence campaign. Learn more about video ad sequencing
Before you begin
Video ad sequence campaigns have some standard features and defaults that differ from other video campaigns.
- For video ad sequence campaigns, you can only exclude demographics at the campaign level, which can be done on the "Exclusions" page.
- Sequence campaigns can run on the "YouTube videos" network only and can only use videos from linked YouTube channels.
- You can't target with keywords, topics, or placements, but you can exclude keywords, topics, or placements at the campaign level.
- If the same video is used in another campaign, it will be served as part of the sequence when the targeting is also the same.
- Frequency capping is by default set to show 1 entire sequence per user, per 30 days. Frequency capping can't be edited.
- Traffic estimates for video ad sequence campaigns aren't available.
Here are step-by-step instructions for creating a video ad sequence campaign:
- Sign in to your Google ads account.
- Click Campaigns in the page menu on the left, then click the plus button .
- Select New campaign.
- Select the Video campaign type.
- Select a campaign goal: Product and brand consideration, Brand awareness and reach, or Create a campaign without a goal's guidance.
- If this step doesn't reflect what you're seeing in your account, select a campaign type first then select a goal. Learn more about goals in the new Google Ads experience
- Select the Ad sequence campaign subtype.
- Enter a campaign name.
- Set your budget. Choose the locations you want to target, the language of your customers, and any advanced settings.
- Choose your bidding strategy.
- To use a mix of skippable in-stream ads, non-skippable in-stream ads, and bumper ads, select Target CPM.
- To use skippable in-stream ads, select Maximum CPV.
- Click New step to create the first step in your sequence campaign.
- Enter an ad group name, then set your bid.
- Under "Create your video ad," enter the URL of your YouTube video, then follow the steps to create your video ad.
- Click Add to sequence to add the step to your sequence campaign.
- Click New step to create the next step in your sequence.
- Select what interaction with the previous step would lead the viewer to this step. The choices are:
- Impression: The ad was shown to the user.
- View (only available for skippable in-stream ads): The user engaged with your ad or watched at least 30 seconds of it (or the entire ad if it was less than 30 seconds).
- Skip (only available for skippable in-stream ads): This is for viewers who skipped the ad.
- Enter an ad group name, then set your bid.
- Under "Create your video ad," enter the URL of your YouTube video, then follow the steps to create your video ad.
- Click Add to sequence to add the step to your sequence campaign.
- Repeat steps 14 to 18 until you have created all of the sequence steps for your campaign.
- Click Save and continue.
Edit your video ad sequence campaign
Use the following steps to edit the steps of your video ad sequence:
- Sign in to your Google ads account.
- From the page menu on the left, click Ad groups or Ads & extensions, and then click the pencil icon .
- You can also edit your video ad sequence by clicking Campaigns in the page menu on the left, and then clicking Settings. Under "Additional settings," click Sequence steps and then Edit sequence steps.
- On the "Edit your video sequence" page, you can add a new step by clicking New step or edit the existing steps in your video ad sequence.
- Once you are done editing your video ad sequence, click Save sequence. You will see a pop up that says "Change step order of the sequence?" Confirm by clicking Yes, change order.
View reporting for your video ad sequence campaign
You can view reporting for the overall campaign or each step in your video ad sequence.
- Sign in to your Google ads account.
- From the page menu on the left, click Campaigns.
- Choose the video ad sequence campaign you want to view. You'll be taken to the "Ad groups" tab for that campaign. From this view, you can see the performance of each step in your campaign. Each step is represented by an ad group, where you can see metrics such as impressions or views.
- You can use the "Sequence path" column to locate where the step is in the sequence.
- When you hover over the "Sequence path" for a step, you can see the path of steps and the interactions required to get to the step.
Changing a video within an active sequence: If you change a video within a sequence that has started running, the following issues will occur:
- Some users will become ineligible to see your sequence and others will repeat the sequence to follow the new sequence order
- Lift measurement for your campaign will be interrupted, which may cause inaccuracies in various Lift measurement metrics
- Reporting may be impacted and may be inaccurate due to people repeating the sequence, missing steps, or other issues
Step is missing an ad: If an ad is removed from one of your sequence steps—either from the campaign itself or due to unlinking the video ad's YouTube channel—people likely won't progress in your sequence. However, if a person sees the video that was removed as part of any other campaign, and matches your sequence's targeting, they can see the next step in the sequence.
Can't create a sequence step: You can't create a sequence step until you've linked a YouTube channel. If you've already begun creating a sequence campaign without a linked YouTube channel, save your campaign and go to "Linked accounts" to link a YouTube channel. After linking, you can add steps to your campaign.
Bulk edits: You will be unable to use bulk edits to copy and paste or delete an ad group for video ad sequences. If you try to copy and paste the ad group, this will result in a new ad group that does not contain any ads. Bulk removal of an ad group will also result in a step without a video ad. In both cases, when you go to the "Edit your video sequence" page you will see an alert that says "Step is missing an ad. Users won't likely progress in this sequence." Click Edit step to fix the issue.

Areas of Interest
Applied Socio-Cultural; Cultural Ecology; Globalization; Community-based Research; Community Education; Refugees; Sustainability; Indigenous Agriculture; US Southwest; Mesoamerica
AA, City College of San Francisco
BA, University of California-Berkeley 1970
MA, San Francisco State University 1980
MS, PhD, University of California-Davis 1989
Dr. Michael (Miguel) Vasquez is an applied anthropologist who has worked with Mayan, Latino, Native American, African American, and diverse refugee communities for more than 30 years in the areas of globalization and its impacts, traditional ecological knowledge, community-based participatory research, and rapid qualitative assessment techniques. He is a recipient of the Community Luminary Award from The State of Black Arizona and, in 2009, was awarded the NAU Presidents Distinguished Teaching Fellow Award. His spouse of 40 years, Marina, is a Mayan Traditional Knowledge Scholar with the NAU Applied Indigenous Studies Program.
Vasquez has provided consultation for Catholic Charities, the Hopi Tribe, the Havasupai Tribe, the National Park Service, the World Health Organization, the US Department of Health and Human Services, and the Sunnyside Neighborhood Association of Flagstaff. He has served on the board of the International Alliance for Sustainable Agriculture, the Arizona Association of Chicanos in Higher Education, and the Museum of Northern Arizona, Friends of Flagstaff's Future, Flagstaff Unified School District, and twice on the Executive Committee of the Society for Applied Anthropology.
His work at NAU has focused on community-based ethnography and applied anthropology with both local indigenous groups and minority communities in Arizona and across the country. His work in Arizona has emphasized reciprocity between NAU and diverse organizations to strengthen both local community cultural assets and the educational experience for NAU students. This collaboration began with the Havasupai Tribe in the creation of the video documentary, "Farmers of the Grand Canyon" and later led to work with the Hopi Cultural Preservation Office (HCPO ) which helped restore Bacavi Village's 700 year old terrace gardens to safe and productive use, as well as documentation and education of local youth in traditional agro-ecological knowledge.
Ties between NAU Anthropology and the HCPO developed into other projects. Together with other NAU faculty, the HCPO, the National Park Service, and the Hopi Foundation, Vasquez helped to develop a Ruins Preservation Training Workshop for unemployed Hopi youth, which has generated careers in cultural preservation and a new interest in the relevance of anthropology for the Hopi. NAU students have collaborated closely with the HCPO: in transcription for tribal archives, development of a cultural curriculum with the NAU Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals, research in cultural affiliation, development of health and nutrition media materials for the Hopi Health Center. Students also created the original HCPO website, winning the national student award of the Society for Applied Anthropology. More recently, he served as a consultant for the NEH-funded Hopi Foot Prints Project to develop K-8 cultural curriculum with several reservation schools.
Another focus of his work, sponsored by the US Department of Health and Human Services, has been as Trainer and Analyst with the RARE (Rapid Assessment Response and Evaluation) Project, working with minority communities to reduce HIV/AIDS risk factors. This work helped to reduce the number of new HIV/AIDS cases in African American and Latino communities across the country.
In the past few years he has combined RARE methodologies with community-based research to better engage Latino and Native American parents in their children's STEM education in a Title I school in Flagstaff.
Coming full circle with his original work with Southeast Asian refugee communities more than 30 years ago, Vasquez is also currently involved in documenting innovative refugee integration programs for Middle-Eastern refugees in Vienna, Austria. The project incorporates RARE methodologies in determining and highlighting factors for success in integrating displaced families into the fabric of host societies.
