"There are two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. Try to be in the first group; there is much less competition"
On November 19, way back in 1917, Allahabad welcomed the cries of a little baby girl. Her parents Jawarharlal Nehru and Kamala Nehru named her Indira Priyadharshini. She was affectionately called "Priyadharshini" by one and all in her household. Indira's babyhood was every little girls dream as she grew up in a very wealthy family where she had every little thing she wished and had her every need catered to. But things did not remain the same for long.
When she was two years old Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi visited her house. He was a well-known pacifist leader known for his fervor in the Indian freedom movement. He was exiled in South Africa due to his freedom movement and after he returned to India he visited Indira's home. He had long talks with her parents and before Indira could comprehend anything, things began to change in her home.
Her parents gave up all the Western possessions they had enjoyed so long.
One day, Indira's mother came to her and said "Priyadharshini, please give me your doll. I shall have to burn it".
Little Indira asked, "Why do I have to my doll mama?"
Her mother Kamala replied, "This is to show your support to Uncle Gandhi against the British rule. Your doll is a product of Britain my dear".
"You can surely take her mama", said Indira and gave up her doll without the slightest grudge.'
Such was Indira's exposure to freedom in that tender age of four. Indira's parents joined in the freedom struggle along with Gandhi and soon her quiet home became a center of the movement. Constant meetings were being held with a lot of freedom fighters rallying around the house most of the time. Political leaders were always staying at her house and no longer were the stately mansion a quiet place.
Her parents Nehru and Kamala started to get thoroughly involved in the freedom movement and soon, little Indira were left all to herself. Her grandfather Motilal Nehru a great lawyer of those days stayed with her during her lonesome hours. But things got worse in the household when her beloved grandfather and her father were imprisoned for the first time for their activities in the freedom movement. This led little Indira through a bout of grief, which worsened when her mother was also imprisoned for her involvement in the freedom struggle.
Indian customs in those days did not allow women to stand in the forefront and the breaking of this social custom by Kamala Nehru led to her frequent imprisonments. Little Indira soon became a silent observer of all the atrocities that took place against her mother and her family. Eventually as she grew up she hardened herself and declared, "I will not to be hurt, as my mother had been, by Indian social customs that repressed women".
She grew up as a solemn and intelligent child whose childhood games were related to the fight against Britain. Her games always reflected the freedom struggle India underwent and the involvement of her parents in the struggle against the British. But gradually her games grew serious as she started to involve herself in the freedom movement with her friends in a shrewd manner.
During that time, many Indian National Congress workers from Allahabad did not know when the British would arrest them or search their homes. This was the main fear among the workers and in order to find out when this would occur Little Indira called her friends and said "Let's help out our country"
Thus she formed the Monkey Brigade. Imitating the Monkey army in the epic Indian story Ramayana, she and her friends took part in the struggle by writing and delivering notices, making flags, cooking food, and spying on the police.
Indira became the leader of this children's group.
When asked, she said, "Our purpose is to help end British control in India. We will do our best even if we are just children."
Being its leader, she delivered speeches while other children actually warned the people who were going to be arrested. The Congress was fully aware of the Monkey Brigade movement led by Indira.
One leader said, "Though she is just twelve years old her idea is ingenious. The British will never suspect children of participating with such involvement."
Indira took her job very seriously. One of the most significant actions of the Monkey Brigade involved Indira when she was all by herself. The Congress party's top officials were organizing a civil disobedience movement. After the meeting, the documents containing the plans of the movement were placed in trunk of a car with Indira in the back seat. Before the car was ready to leave the area, a police inspector stopped the car in order to search it.
However, Indira pleaded saying, "Please do not inspect the car. I will be delayed and I will arrive late at school."
Fortunately, the inspector said, "Ok, you may go"
He had believed her and the car was not searched. Indira triumphantly succeeded in delivering the documents intact.
Indira spent her school days visiting jails where her parents or her favorite freedom fighters were imprisoned. While she was in school in Poona, she often visited Mohandas Gandhi in prison.
According_to Indira, "Gandhi uncle is one person who played an important role in shaping me up".
Not only did she visit Gandhi in the prison, she gave him her support in her child like manner by sitting on his bedside, as he recovered from one of his fasts.
Though Indira was not involved directly in the freedom struggle, she came to know the entire Indian political leadership when she was a little girl itself.
Nehru, Indira's father was in jail most of the time. But he was extremely concerned about the education of his only child.
So in order to keep her well updated in general knowledge he told Indira, "Priyadharshini, I will write to you all about the history of the world in my letters. Read them and store them in your memory. That is all I can do as I am unable to sit beside you and teach".
Thus began the long correspondence between the father and daughter, which lasted through Nehru's prison years. Meanwhile Indira passed her Metric from Pune University and was then sent on to Shantiniketan, formed by Rabindranath Tagore. Here she was made to lead a strict highly disciplined life.
As time went by Indira's mother Kamala became ill and was sent to Switzerland to convalesce. Indira accompanied her mother to Switzerland where she Joined a school and completed a part of her studies. But as time went by her mother became increasingly s'ck and when Indira turned 17, her world came apart ^hen her mother passed away.
By and by she got over the loss. She pursued her studies in Oxford University in London. Although she had vowed to remain single, she decided to marry Feroze Gandhi, a family friend of the Nehru's.
He was a Parsee, a member of a small cultural group that had fled from Persia centuries earlier to escape Muslim persecution. Since the Nehru's were of the Brahmin or priestly class of India, Indira was criticized for her choice of a husband not only by her father but also from the public. Despite these protests the couple were married when Indira was 23 years old.
After, her wedding Indira became increasingly active in the freedom movement. As a result of this, she was jailed for nine months. As soon as she was released she got herself involved thoroughly in politics. Due to this she could not spend much time with her husband I and family.
Soon after her imprisonment she gave birth to a baby boy. She named him Rajiv. When Rajiv was two years old, the family moved to Lucknow where her husband Feroze served as Managing Director of the National Herald. Before long Indira carried again and little Rajiv was joined by his baby brother Sanjay.
Finally India achieved independence when Indira was 28 years old and Indira's father became the nation's first prime minister. Because Nehru was a widower he needed Indira to act as hostess at official government functions. This led Indira to be on her father's side most of the time and gradually she and her husband drifted apart. Although they were never divorced they lived separately until he passed away when Indira was 39 years old.
Indira lived in Nehru's shadow for years, but she eventually began to speak out during her own campaigns and at functions her father could not attend. Soon she became the president of the India National Congress and sought to increase women's participation in politics.
In 1964, Nehru passed away and Indira Gandhi was elected to the Parliament. She was Minister of Information and Broadcasting under Lai Bahadur Shastri who became the Prime Minister after Nehru's death. But unfortunately Shastri died unexpectedly of a heart attack less than two years after he became the Prime Minister of India. There were numerous contenders for the position of the Prime Minister ship when Shastri passed away and since the candidates were unable to agree among themselves they picked Indira Gandhi as a compromise candidate, thinking that she could be easily manipulated.
But they were in for a shock as Indira showed extraordinary political skills and tenacity. She was the Prime Minister of India from 1966 to 1977 for 11 years. She was greatly respected and became very popular j after India's triumph in the war of 1971 against Pakistan. The explosion of a nuclear device enhanced her reputation among middle-class Indians as a tough and shrewd political leader and she was greatly loved by the people of India. But as time went by North India was soon rocked by demonstrations from people who were angry at the poor state of the economy and rampant corruption in the country, and the poor standards of living among the people. This led to
Indira's unpopularity and soon she lost her Prime Minister ship.
But this did not deter Indira. In 1980 Indira returned back as Prime Minister of India. The same year, however, a sad event took place in her life. Her son Sanjay was killed in an airplane crash.
Indira carried on in her role as the country's leader with great zeal. She was also occupied by efforts to resolve the political problems in the state of Punjab. A secessionist movement of Sikh militants were waging a campaign of terrorism against the Government and wanting a separate state of Khalistan. Jarnail Singh Bindranwale led this movement and with supporters from the Golden Temple, the holiest Sikh shrine in Amritsar. Indira wanted to end this terrorism and she organized "Operation Bluestar" with the help of the Indian army. This led to the death of Bindranwale and over 600 people died in the conflict.
The Golden Temple was stripped clean of Sikh terrorists but the Temple was damaged, and sadly Indira earned the hatred of Sikhs who started to resent her move for peace as an invasion on their space.
And so, On October 31 of the same year, when she was 65 years old, Indira was walking through her garden when two of her own Sikh security guards shot her down.
Indira will be remembered for her commendable efforts in the development and progress of science, space exploration, irrigation, as well as policies like the nationalization of banks and the 20-point program. But most of all she will be remembered for being one of the greatest leaders the country ever had.

If all goes according to plan, Patriots fans will get to cheer for Tom Brady. The 40-Year-Old Version. The Patriots existed long before Brady stepped under center, and they will not be folding up shop once he leaves. Those weary of change can rest easy, though, as his departure date is now further away than originally thought. And while Foxboro is not Brady's hometown, he took a hometown discount to stay in his professional playground.
If all goes according to plan, Patriots fans will get to cheer for Tom Brady.
The 40-Year-Old Version.
The Patriots existed long before Brady stepped under center, and they will not be folding up shop once he leaves. Those weary of change can rest easy, though, as his departure date is now further away than originally thought. And while Foxboro is not Brady's hometown, he took a hometown discount to stay in his professional playground.
On Monday, the San Mateo, Calif., native and the Patriots reached a three-year contract extension that is reportedly worth $27 million. The deal, originally reported by Sports Illustrated's Peter King, will take Brady through the 2017 season. Aug. 3, 2017, will be the Michigan alum's 40th birthday.
Brady is entering the third year of a four-year, $72-million contract with $48 million guaranteed. Brady was signed through 2014, but by restructuring his deal, his salary against the salary cap goes from $43.6 million to $28.6 million spread over the next two years. With the NFL salary cap basically leveling off — earliest reports for 2013 is a cap of $122 million, which is just a $1.4 million increase from 2012 — the deal frees up $15 million.
According to King, the extension will pay Brady a $3 million signing bonus immediately, in addition to salaries of $7 million in 2015, $8 million in 2016 and $9 million in 2017. By comparison, Mark Sanchez signed a three-year deal worth 40 million in 2012. Peyton Manning is making $20 million with the Broncos in 2013.
The implications for the rest of the Patriots' roster are many. Most importantly, though, the best player the franchise has ever known will not be leaving Foxboro any time soon.
This is no small task when the matter at hand is keeping the all-everything quarterback in the fold. Brady playing until 40 with the same team that drafted him would be the rarity of rarities at the position.
Just ask the aforementioned Manning, who was released by the Colts on March 7 of last year. Mr. Horseshoe was 17 days shy of his 36th birthday.
Joe Namath was a Los Angeles Ram by 34. Brett Favre — who was drafted by the Falcons but became synonymous with the Packers — was a Jet by 38 and a Viking by 40. Johnny Unitas was a San Diego Charger by 40.
And then there's the gold (and red) standard. In many ways, Brady even has his boyhood idol beat. Four-time Super Bowl champion Joe Montana, whose poster adorned the wall of Brady's San Mateo bedroom, did not start a game for the San Francisco 49ers after the age of 34. Montana finished up with the Chiefs, even leading them to a playoff win before retiring at 38.
Sure, Montana has Brady beaten in the rings department. But the money banked, the years logged with one franchise — those will be trump cards in Brady's favor when it comes to the ubiquitous "all-time" arguments.
Montana aside, of the other quarterbacks with at least three Super Bowl wins, neither was able to defy time as Brady has. The Steelers — and the NFL — said goodbye to 35-year-old and four-time champion Terry Bradshaw. Troy Aikman took his last snap with the Cowboys at age 34, as concussion problems cut his career short.
Many other "single franchise" guys didn't get a sniff of football at 40. Dan Marino and John Elway were on their couches by 38. Roger Staubach was 37, and Jim Kelly and Dan Fouts were 36 when they threw their last passes.
Brady sees more football in his rearview mirror than through the windshield. His Super Bowl wins are a distant memory at this point. He needs help to get to the promised land for the first time since names like Gisele, Mankins and Gronk entered his life.
In a time the Patriots are attempting to retain their top talents while signing other free agents, reallocation of funds is becoming more essential.
Even if his play slowly trends downward, Brady's new deal is a bargain. In 2012, at age 35, he threw for 4,827 yards, 34 TDs and eight INTs in the regular season. The Patriots then beat the Houston Texans in the AFC's Divisional round before dropping the AFC title game to the eventual Super Bowl-champion Ravens.
For the Patriots' immediate future, the implication is that free agent wide receiver Wes Welker could be returning to the fold. It is unlikely that Brady would do the deal if the Patriots were planning on letting go of his good friend and preferred target.
There is more news to come, surely. For now, the Foxboro faithful can relax. There is a comfort in knowing there won't be that Nomar as a Cub, Orr as a Blackhawk awkwardness when it comes to Tom Terrific.
Get used to this Brady guy, because he's hanging around for a while.
And that's a rarity.

What was I thinking?
Today is day 2 of another 7 day stretch of working. At the end of the stretch, I will have worked approximately 112 hours. WOW! That sounds ridiculous! What was I thinking? I think I have lost my mind... if not, I'm sure I will have by the end of this schedule! Anywho... just wanted to update those of you who care, on what's been going on this week:
*Monday was MY birthday! Yep, that's right. I turned the BIG 2-7!! I spent the day alone for the most part. I had court in the afternoon for my G.A.L stuff - it did not go the way I had hoped! I left frustrated and annoyed at the unorganization of some and the lack of communication of most! I picked up all the kids and came home to a beautiful bouquet of yellow and white DAISIES (my favorite) and balloons on my front door step from my favorite US Soldier! He's so sneaky! I finished the night with dinner with the parentals, my BFF and all the kiddos!
*Tuesday was CORY'S birthday! (isn't he lucky? I've made it easy for him to remember my bday - its the dayh before his!). He turned the big 2-9(almost 30, hehe!) I had to work a 24hr shift, so my day was almost a bust (I say almost because the next bullet will be about how amazing our God is!!!). Cory had a good day, I think. He had dinner with some of our closest military buddies, complete with the Chicken Dance, the annual "birthday beating"(not as painful as it sounds), and a gift from his roomies. I didn't buy him anything (shame on me, I know) because I will be purchasing the next COD4 complete with night goggles in the next month or so - that will be his birthday gift!!! We missed him, but this will be the last!
*God is Good! All the time! Here's what saved my Tuesday... Let me go back a day - Court, on Monday, was disappointing. But when I left, I called to give the 411 to the person in charge of "my" kiddos (the G.A.L. kiddos that is). She informed me that they boys would be moved the next day but was unsure where. I was beyond frustrated as I could envision the nightmare it would be to track down these kids once they are moved (communication is lacking in the job - BIG TIME!) Anyway. I decided that I would spend the next day (Tues) trying to make heads or tails of it all. I woke up dreading the phone calls I would have to make. I went into work and began talking to the off-going crew. One of them made a comment that she had to hurry home because she was getting 2 new kids that day and had to rearrange a few things... I inquired as to the ages. She said 8 and 2! I gasped and asked if it was >>>>> >>>>> and >>>>> >>>>>>?!?! She said YES!!!!!!! OMG! PTL!!! No phone calls needed to be made! I knew where they were! And it also meant I didn't need to rush over to the foster home to make sure it was suitable (some of them are NOT - trust me!)! I was so excited and relieved! The foster mom and I work together, so we communicate on a semi regular basis - so I can keep close tabs on them! I love it!!! God is SO good!
*We are in full swing of Soccer season. Hailey's doing great! Its so neat to watch her develop her skills in the sport!
*Samantha started dance on Thurs. SHE LOVED IT!!! That's actually an understatement! She got her first pair of ballet slippers and she was glowing! I can already hear the "tap,tap,tap" that will be ringing through our house when she gets her tap shoes!
*Reese is doing well... still rotten, as always! He no longer cries when we leave him at daycare, he now cries when we pick him up!!! But I'll take it! He's with MeMa and Pop (Cory's parents) this weekend. I will have to de-program him next week - for sure!
So that's it! We're in full swing of life now, settling back into a routine after the crazy summer! I am exhausted most days when I finally make it to bed. I have always wondered what it would be like to have a "normal" life - but have recently come to the realization that THIS is our "normal". Its chaotic most days, but I LOVE IT!!!!!!

The idea of digital board games has always struck me as a little odd. Of course, both board and video games come from same basis of game design and having fun, but its always a bit of an up hill battle to get me to buy on to the idea of a digital board game. So, it wasn't the mechanics of Armello, the digital board/card game by Australian League of Geeks, that drew me to the game. The bright artistic style and the promise of a rich, new fantasy world was the bait, and the seemless mix of card management, board games, and hero building hooked me.
Armello is a swashbuckling adventure that combines RPG elements with the strategic play of card and board games, creating a personal, story-fuelled experience.
You, play as a 'Hero' from one of the four animal clans: Rat, Rabbit, Bear or Wolf. Players navigate their fully animated 3D character across the board (procedurally generated from 3D hex tiles) as they quest, scheme, explore,Vanquish monsters, perform the Mad King's royal edicts, and face off against other players, with one ultimate end goal in mind — storming the palace and becoming King or Queen of Armello.
Armello is League of Geeks' attempt to revolutionise digital board and card games, whilst providing players a rich world within which they can craft their very own stories of epic adventure.
The turns in Armello are a mix of drawing cards, exploration, and battles by dice. Throw in a bit of town management and back-stabbing, and you could easily have a chaotic mish-mash of game mechanics making a un-intelligible game few could really grasp. However, it is clear that the team at League of Geeks have thought things through, and had a clear vision of the final version of the game from just about the beginning of development.
From the very moment we started developing Armello we knew that we wanted deep and strategic card play and not just layered over the top of the board game experience, but integrated into every part of it.
We're proud to say we've achieved just that. Card play is fully integrated within the mechanics of Armello. You'll play cards to equip items, recruit powerful characters (Follower cards) to your party, heal yourself, cast epic spells, trade and much more. Cards also have other strategic abilities; for example playing them to the board as Perils to thwart other players, or using them in combat to better your odds.
In Armello, players all draw cards from a common deck, just like in a board game. No pay to win mechanics or need to keep buying cards. You and your friends start with everything you need to play
Oh… and did we mention that Armello has over 100 unique cards and they're all animated!
At the time of writing, Armello has raised $159,173 of it's goal of $200,000AUD, with 9 days to go. If you'd like to learn more about the lore of the world of Armello, or the development team that is making the game, head over to their Kickstarter page.

The unique Chamorro culture and language dominating the island of Guam for over 300 years, is a surprisingly pleasant blend of Spanish, Micronesian, Asian and western influences. An unincorporated territory of the United States with an established civilian government, Guam is located within the western Pacific Ocean in-between Hawaii and Philippines. Spread over a 549 square kilometer area, the island of Guam is home to over 173,000 inhabitants mostly speaking English, Chamorro and Japanese. Featuring several settlements and villages, no true cities actually exist in Guam.
With large populations centered in the middle of the island, the south is sparsely inhabited while the north is largely occupied by the US military. Served by the Won Pat Guam International Airport which offers regular services to/from the United States, Japan, Australia, China and Philippines, Guam also is an important regional stop for cruise ships, however, without any ferry transportation networks of its own.

GBPAUD Weekly Technical Outlook
The weekly time frame shows the GBPAUD market in consolidation. An ascending channel (blue) is discernible on the daily time frame for this corrective phase. A basic wave analysis indicates that a southward wave is in the offing after the correction. Last week, price action printed a bearish pinbar whose long upper tail nearly kissed the channel resistance and retested a resistance zone, the 1.86300 area, that has held as resistance for quite a while. We should also be aware of the two descending trendlines (red and blue) from June 2015 which seem to constrain recent price action, the outer trendline (red) is acting as resistance, while the inner trendline (blue) is acting as support.
The daily time frame technically indicates that the impulse wave or predominant trend is southwards. Although the bearish pinbar printed last week Thursday had little follow-through on Friday, the total bearish move on the two days strongly indicated that bears were rejecting the 1.86300 zone, being a strong resistance zone. If we have a bullish move in the early part of this week, it will likely be a corrective move. The bears are technically favoured to take control of price action on a medium-term basis.
I may be wrong. Trade safe and prosper.
USDCAD Weekly Technical Outlook
Price action on the weekly time frame has moved further upwards from an outer ascending trendline (red) traceable to August 2017 and it is now operating within an ascending channel (blue). Last week, it printed a bearish candlestick. Given the recent pattern of price action on the weekly time framr, we may see a bearish continuation this week, which may eventually lead to a breakdown of the channel support.
On the daily time frame, price action is consolidating along an ascending channel (magenta) and is presently located near the channel support and a confluence of the horizontal support around the 1.33260 area. If there is a northward turnaround in that area this week, we may see bulls target the channel resistance or the horizontal resistance around 1.37500. Alternatively, a southward continuation is likely to result from the breakdown of the channel support, and may target the horizontal support around 1.31550.
EURUSD Weekly Technical Outlook
Price action on the EURUSD is still operating within the ascending channel created from two ascending trendlines (red and blue) traceable to January 2017. Last week, price action printed an indecision candlestick which spanned both the channel resistance and channel support. Are we going to see further consolidation of price action within the channel this week?
The daily time frame shows a market in consolidation. However, from the technical pattern of price action on the daily time frame, we may see a further northward move this week, perhaps to the horizontal resistance around 1.15600, before a southward disposition.
GBPUSD Weekly Technical Outlook
On the weekly time frame, price action printed a bullish pinbar last week and we may see a follow through northward move this week. However, as price action is operating within two ascending trendlines (red and black) traceable to January 2019. Thus, we may see the inner ascending trendline (black) acting as resistance to further northward move. Of course, such a move has the potential of 200 pips. The 1.29400 area is a horizontal resistance to watch.
A descending channel (blue) is discernible on the daily time frame and price action is operating in it. Last week Thursday, price action printed a bullish pinbar and was followed up on Friday by a further northward move. However, the horizontal resistance around 1.27500 hindered the bullish drive. We may see bulls make further attempt to take price action northwards at least in the early part of this week. Technically, the disposition is northwards on the short term, and southward on the medium term.
I am expecting price action on EURUSD to meet resistance at current location and may bear south or operate sideways. I can see a confluence of resistance on the D1 time frame.
XAUUSD Weekly Technical Outlook
The XAUUSD market is technically disposed northward. On the weekly time frame, price action since November 2018 has largely been under the influence of bulls. However, as it reaches a horizontal resistance around 1300.00 the bullish momentum is waning; reflected in the miniature candlesticks formed on the weekly time frame in the past two weeks. We may see a southward pullback this week.
On the daily time frame, price action is bearing northwards and respecting an ascending trendline (black) from the low of November 2018. Presently, price action is around a congestion zone that was last visited in June 2018 and, judging from the present candlestick pattern in the area, we may see a southward retracement.
Price action on the H4 time frame has moved further northward away from an outer ascending trendline (black) seen on the daily time frame and an inner one (red) is now in play. Presently, a wedge pattern (magenta) has been formed and price action is printing topping candlesticks within it. This may give way to a southward pullback in the early part of this week.
I may be wrong. Trade safe and prosper,
EURJPY Weekly Technical Outlook
On the weekly time frame, price action retraced northward after the flash crash that happened two weeks ago. Although we may see further northward move early this week, perhaps to the 126.180/127.800 area, this retracement should be seen as temporary in nature. On the medium term basis, the technicals on the weekly time frame are in favour of bears.
On the daily time frame, price action was in consolidation for much of last week, after a bullish move on Monday. Much likely, bulls may take price action to the immediate horizontal resistance around the 125.500 area in the early part of this week.
I am bearish EURJPY in the medium term; so I will wait out the early price action this week – which is likely to be northwards and to a good value area for me to look for a sell trading opportunity.
USDJPY Weekly Technical Outlook
The bullish candlestick which formed on the monthly time frame in November 2016, has in the main, been a reference or controlling candlestick for much of subsequent price action. The flash crash last week saw price action teasing the lower part of this same candlestick; much likely we may see a retest during the remaining part of this month. I am bearish USDJPY.
On the weekly time frame, the 104.050/114.230 zone has clearly provided a channel within which much of price action has operated since 2017. Within the channel, presently price action is largely disposed southwards. The long-tailed bearish candlestick formed two weeks ago is likely to be an opportunity for reprogramming price action to retest a value area northward and we may see a southward continuation this week.
The technicals on the daily time frame are favourable for a bearish continuation after a brief northward retracement. Thus, in the short term, price action is likely to head northwards. It may then yield to a southward turnaround at an area of value, e.g. a pivot area, resistance zone or within the short MAs. The monthly pivot, around 110.900, is likely an area to watch for such a southward turnaround.
The EURUSD market is still in sideways operation. On the weekly time frame, presently price action predominantly operates in the 1.12660/1.15700 zone. The upper-tailed bullish candlestick printed last week indicated that bears were restraining momentum to the upside and we may see them maintain the pressure in the early part of this week.
The daily time frame shows a EURUSD market choppy and bears putting pressure on bulls to constrain any northward drive. We are likely to see bears push price action southward, at least briefly in the early part of this week, and then give way to further sideways operation.
The XAUUSD market has a positive tone. However, the bullish momentum is waning. On the weekly time frame, price action has struggled for three weeks to break out of a horizontal resistance zone that was last visited in June 2018. In fact, last week, price action printed a bearish candlestick in the area. The technicals on the weekly time frame are ambivalent.
On the daily time frame, on January 3, 2019, price action made a 61.8 Fib retracement of the downward swing from April 11, 2018. Thereafter, it entered a horizontal consolidation for several days. Last week Friday, price action moved southward, about 50 pips, below the area of consolidation. Technnically, there is still a likelihood of further northward move, but we may see bears take price action further southward in the early part of this week before a bullish turnaround. The inner ascending trendline (black) could act as support. However, we should watch out for a significant break of the outer ascending trendline (red), which will invalidate any bullish outlook.
On the H4 time frame, recent price action has broken down and invalidated a minor ascending trendline (magenta) from recent lows. We may see a southward continuation this week. The 1255.90 area is a horizontal support, which may be a target of bears.
The bullish move on the EURJPY market which kicked in two weeks ago is waning in momentum. On the weekly time frame, price action is inching towards a horizontal resistance around the 125.350 area but we may see bulls target the monthly pivot around 126.730.
The daily time frame shows that bulls are presently struggling to take price action further forward but a northward move is still in the works. The technical, however, show that bears re favoured to effect a southward turnaround after a brief northward move, perhaps to a mean value area. An inner descending trendline (black) from the high of September 24, 2018 is likely to act as resistance, while an outer one (red) from the high of February 2, 2018 is may play a role in the foreseeable future.
Price action is in consolidation on the H4 time frame. But the short-term technical mode is still northward, although this may be corrective in nature. Technically, we may see a southward turnaround after a northward correction.
I am bearish EURJPY.
USDJPY Weekly Technical Outllook
The USDJPY has been consolidating for quite a while. On the monthly time frame, price action is operating in a triangular pattern (YellowGreen) and is being constrained towards the tip/apex of the triangle. In December 2018, bears took price action southward for over 500 pips.A follow-through was initiated in January 2019 when the flash crash took price action southward for over 500 pips. Although price action has retraced northwards, the technical pattern, looking left, indicate that bears are likely to make a further southward push. A break of the triangle support may see bears target the horizontal support around the 103.320 area (magenta).
The weekly time frame, shows a USDJPY market in a consolidation mode, which is likely corrective; apparently the impulse is towards the south. From basic wave analysis, we are seeing a complex correction which will likely give way to a southward continuation.
On the daily time frame, presently bulls are taking price action northwards.The horizontal resistance around 110.380/111.130 (bound by horizontal black lines) may be a natural target of bulls. However, a bearish setup in the area on a daily closing basis is likely to be followed up by a southward continuation.
On the H4 time frame, price action is heading northwards and apparently in a correction, from a technical point of view. A descending trendline (navy) is likely to be active as resistance. Also, we should be aware of the ascending trendline (red) from recent lows, which will have to be broken down by bears to sustain a southward momentum.
As a swing trader, I maintain a bearish outlook on USDJPY.
The EURUSD market is in consolidation even though the technicals favour bears in the medium term. On the monthly time frame, price action is following through a 61.8 Fib retracement of the major downward swig that began in May 2014.
On the weekly time frame, two weeks ago, a long-upper tailed candlestick was formed at a horizontal resistance around the 1.14300 area. This was followed through last week with a bearish continuation. As thee is a technical range 1.15650/1.11800 (bound by horizontal magenta lines), we may see bears drive price action towards the support zone this week.
On the daily time frame, price action is consolidating in a descending wedge/triangle (black) and a break out below is likely to spur a bearish continuation. However, as thee has been a bottoming pattern around the wedge support recently, we may see a northward retracement early this week, before a bearish southward turnaround. I am bearish EURUSD.
The XAUUSD market continues to notch up. On the weekly time frame, last week, price action produced a relatively big bullish candlestick which shot away from a consolidation area. It is now nestled in a resistance zone and we may expect sideways, or a brief retracement, of price action in the early part of this week. At any rate, technically, the bulls are favoured to remain influential in the medium term.
On the daily time frame, price action was respecting an outer ascending trendline (red) from November 2018 but has moved further northward to respect an inner ascending trendline (black), an indication of an increase in bullish momentum. Furthermore, looking left, we can see that a bullish break of the previous descending trendline (magenta) apparently gave way to an impulsive northward wave; and we are likely riding an impulsive rather than a corrective wave at the moment. At any rate, as long as the outer ascending trendline (red) holds on a daily closing basis, we can have confidence in a bullish drive.
On the H4 time frame, price action has entered a resistance zone around the 1303.00 area. But bulls seem to have the momentum behind them and may head further northwards, exposing the 1321.00 handle, which aligns with the 78.6 Fib retracement of the southward drop from the high of April 11, 2018 to the low of August 15, 2018. I am bullish XAUUSD until we reach that zone. From there, I expect a southward retracement to retest the inner ascending trendline (black).
Since dropping southward and snapping back northward to print a long-tailed candlestick four weeks ago, the northward momentum on the EURJPY has waned. On the weekly time frame, the past three weeks of price action have produced less than 250 pips move to the north. This is a general reflection of the ambivalent nature of the market. But presently price action is located near a resistance zone. We should watch how price action handles that zone this week.
On the daily time frame, after the northward move in early January, price action has largely been sideways in operation. Bulls pushed price action a bit northward last Friday but there is a resistance zone a few pips northward and we may have to see how the zone is handled in the early part of this week. An upward retest of the zone (125.500), followed by a rejection, is likely to produce momentum for a southward turnaround.
I will be interested in how price action handles the 125.500 area. So, I will step aside from the EURJPY market in the early part of this week.
The EURUSD market continues being ambivalent and non-directional. Presently, bulls are still intent on taking price action northward, judging from the candlestick printed on the weekly time frame. However, there is little room for a northward drive.
The daily time frame shows a market in consolidation and may be of interest to scalpers and intra-day traders.
The H4 time frame shows a northward directional operation of price action. Technically, this may be followed up in the early part of this week. But the 1.14900 area is a potential resistance zone, followed by the 1.15600 zone. I prefer to wait until the bullish mode peters out. Should a rally northward yield to a sell setup at an area of value, this will pique my interest and I will look for a sell trading opportunity offering a profitable reward-to-risk ratio.
Here's a technical update on the EURUSD. Price action is still ambivalent. On the daily time frame, the market is trading around a mini resistance zone. We may expect a southward turnaround in the zone or around the descending trendlines (black and red) from the high of September 24, 2018.
I am still bearish EURUSD.
I may be wrong. Trade safe.
With the print of a bearish pinbar at a significant zone (a horizontal channel resistance) on the daily time frame, we may see a southward move of EURUSD before the end of the week.
I may be wrong. Trade safe and prosper
The XAUUSD market apparently still has a northward sentiment. The monthly time frame shows a market still under the control of bulls after the bullish candlestick printed in January 2019 and the immediate horizontal resistance is still at least 200 pips away. Presently, price action is located near the monthly pivot and around the 38.2 Fib zone of the downward swing from the high of October 2012 to the low of December 2015. Should bulls push further northward in the days ahead, how market handles the 1369.00 area is likely to determine where medium-term momentum will sway.
The weekly time frame shows a market in a consolidating ascending channel (black). The channel support was broken southward in July 2018 but bulls took control of the market for a strong drive northwards and returned price action to within the channel in late December 2018. The horizontal consolidation immediately after bulls took price action into within the channel gave way to the printing of a strong bullish candlestick two weeks ago. Although a follow-up bullish candlestick was printed last week, it is apparently weaker than the one printed two weeks ago as bears appeared to be wrestling for market control. We should note the horizontal resistance around the 1333.00 area. Should bulls overcome that area, we may see a momentum for a bullish continuation.
The daily time frame shows a market with a bullish sentiment. Price action has rejected an outer ascending trendline (red) and is respecting a steeper, inner ascending trendline (blue), indicating an increase in bullish momentum. The trendline angle appears to be too steep and we may have price action head southwards for a corrective operation, perhaps to retest a value area before a northward continuation. Such an area is the horizontal support around the 1304.00 area. We should also note that price action is presently located around the 78.6 Fib retracement of the downward swing from the high of April 11, 2018 to the low of August 16, 2018; which is a technical reason for a potential southward retracement.
Technically, I hold a short-term bearish bias on XAUUSD, while my medium-term bias is bullish.
EURAUD Weekly Technical Outlook
The markets are generally ambivalent. Last month, the EURAUD market printed a long-tailed bearish candlestick on the monthly time frame. The print indicated a strong bearish intent, the candlestick breaking through two monthly support zones. However, this formation often leads to a northward pullback before any southward continuation.
Apart from the strong bearish drop five weeks ago, the weekly time frame shows a EURAUD in a sideways operation around an S/R zone. The candlestick printed last week on the weekly time frame is largely an equilibrium candlestick and we may have to wait for the market to show further clarity next week.
An ascending channel (red) is indicated on the daily time frame. The channel experienced two southward breakouts recently but, in the main, there is little directional momentum. We may have a northward pullback into the channel in the next few days, perhaps, initially to the immediate resistance zone on the daily time frame around 1.60150. This is what I will be looking forward to seeing, given the pattern on the MN time frame. By extension, we may see a further bullish drive to the monthly pivot, which is in confluence with a monthly resistance zone around the 1.61300 area, before a southward turnaround. Nevertheless, how price action handles the emerging ascending trendlne (black) on the daily time frame should be watched.

I can't deny how I feel for you. It may be wrong, it may be unprecedented, it may be the scariest thing I could ever imagine but it's there. It's there and it's too great to ignore. So I will formulate a collection of my deepest and darkest secrets in melodies that remind me of you. Embedded in their meanings I hope mine resonates.
Feeling this way, this heart-coming-up-my-throat way, this my-head-is-going-to-explode-from-thinking-of-you way, this tongue-twister, this my-hands-are-trembling, this curling into a ball of desire. My incessant emotions have consumed me.
Society wants me to go back where I "belong". You know, that out of sight out of mind "logic". How the hell can I turn them off? Even if I knew how I wouldn't. I know deep down I don't want to.
What is so beautiful but yet so eccentric is that the whole "love" thing seems so impossible until it is within you. While a piece of me is forever holding a place for you, I can only dream you are in turn holding a place for me.

How I wish I could turn our love song into the melodic arrangement of words that once caused me to feel that heart-tugging, overwhelming, never-ending sense of connectedness with you. Where my stream of consciousness melted with yours, our lungs rising and collapsing along with the rhythm. They always said we were inseparable; unbreakable. The idea that our slamming hips could turn into slammed doors was unthinkable until it was. And now, battered and tangled, our mixtape is shattered, the memory of what was never to be attained again.

text: Kajo Keji Country, South Sudan - With their faces and clothes caked in dust after a long, gruelling bus journey, we are greeted by dozens of hungry and tired-looking rebels at a camp near the South Sudan-Uganda border. Carrying AK-47 assault rifles, machetes, grenade launchers and even bows and arrows, the rebels, who have been brought in as reinforcements, have no time to rest and quickly prepare for the front lines. Who's to blame for South Sudan's civil war? - UpFront Their commanders are uncomfortable that government troops are only 15km away. The rebels belong to the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-in-Opposition (SPLM-IO) group, the country's main rebel group, who are fighting against government soldiers, also known as the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA). The SPLA is historically a liberating force that formed in the 1980s to fight the government of Sudan. It helped the South gain independence in 2011 but a civil war broke out soon after, in 2013. The conflict was triggered when President Salva Kiir, a Dinka by ethnicity, accused his then Vice President Riek Machar, a Nuer, of plotting a coup against his government. A peace deal between the two sides was finally reached in early 2016 and Machar reinstated as vice-president. That did not last. On the eve of independence celebrations in July, renewed fighting between troops loyal to the two clashed in the capital Juba setting off another wave of violence that has displaced millions of South Sudanese. READ MORE: Children bearing the brunt of South Sudan refugee crisis That is how Kajo Keji, a county of more than 200,000 people, according to a 2008 census, got caught up in the fighting. More than 100,000 people have fled from that area to neighbouring Uganda. Others, however, are staying at camps for displaced people in South Sudan close to the border. It's at one of these camps that we meet Jennifer Pitta. She was making bean stew for nine children. When the food is ready - she serves them a small portion. I know for sure it's hardly enough for all of them but she says the children have to eat what they get. She told us her oldest son was killed in January by men dressed in military uniforms. She was not able to bury him because she had to take his children and run. "That's what saddens me the most and the fact that he used to help me get food and now I have to do it all by myself." IN PICTURES: Nowhere to run for the children of South Sudan On the day we visited, rebel commanders and administrative leaders who took control of the area in December were meeting the community. They were received with songs and chants of "Viva SPLM-IO". I asked Jennifer, who was not part of the fanfare, who she supports - government or rebels? Her answer was one I've come to frequently hear from many South Sudanese. When will peace come to South Sudan? - Inside Story "The problem is you box us into taking sides. It's either 'I support the government or the rebels'. If government soldiers come here now, they would kill us because they think we're rebels. Same thing will happen if rebels take territories the government controls. We don't get to choose who comes to our areas to take over our lives. We just have to co-exist with them and hope they live with us in peace." The rebel leaders we spoke to say they are fighting for the rights of ordinary citizens such as Jennifer. They believe that the president and his administration have alienated other tribes of South Sudan in favour of the Dinka, who they say control the state. But there are seemingly no winners in this war. The president and his government are sitting uncomfortably in Juba - ruling a deeply divided nation, dealing with increased violence, a devastating famine, a crumbling economy and an international community that is getting fed up with what looks like a failing state. The SPLM-IO is not fairing much better. The movement is facing internal struggles leading to defections. It's armed wing is reportedly running out of weapons and ammunition and members of the movement are becoming increasingly disillusioned in the absence of their leader Riek Machar who is in exile in South Africa. READ MORE: South Sudan - 'There are only dead bodies' We leave the rebel fighters in an upbeat mood. They were preparing to feast, drink, then head off to the trenches. They tell us that their morale is high and victory is coming. A week after our visit - I receive a call from one of the administrative leaders, Governor Frank Matata. Government troops have advanced and have tried to take the barracks where we were. If that happens, it could mean bad news for civilians living in the area. They may be forced to seek refuge in Uganda after holding on for so long to a country they don't want to leave. About 3.5 million South Sudanese have been uprooted from their homes. Families of thousands who have died are still grieving and looking for answers. Many people are starving because they cannot go to their farms. Children are not going to school. Those are the biggest losers in South Sudan's war - and that's a sad reality. SOURCE: Al Jazeera News ABOUT THE AUTHOR Catherine Soi Africa South Sudan War & Conflict

Lijia, China's Monthly Break for Women
Yesterday, I heard that once-monthly command from my Chinese husband. "Think of it as a forced vacation. It's time for you to xiuxi," he soothed me, putting a pillow on the couch and coaxing me over to sit down and put my feet up.
"But I have all of these things I haven't done yet!" I pleaded.
John shook his head. "You need to rest," he urged me, pointing to the couch.
Eventually, I did go to couch, settling into my usual spot, even as my mind was anything but settled about the idea of resting. You should be writing. You should be answering all of those e-mails. You should be…
If there's anything I should be, it's used to this whole routine. John and I have been together through years — and therefore, many, many months of me doing what every woman naturally does once a month. I get the kind of cramps that could drive perfectly normal women to light up their tampons and smoke them, so I should be thinking period equals rest. But right on schedule, just as I begin, so my mind begins the once-monthly protest every time John mentions "rest."
But what I didn't understand was, John would have urged me to take a break, even if I didn't have the cramps.
"We call it lijia," he explained to me, which roughly translates to "regular break." "In China, when girls would get their period in middle school, they would be excused from PE class for lijia."
"But why?" I wondered.
"Because the period is challenging, and exhausting. They need a break to replenish their energy," John explained, wearing an embarrassed grin.
I suddenly thought of the regular absence of these middle school girls, and the likely regular sniggering from the boys as to the cause of their absence. "But isn't that embarrassing, since everyone knows why they're gone?"
My question made him burst out in an uncomfortable giggle, before he brought it back to a smile to answer me. "There are jokes. But I never made them."
While I wasn't sure if John had been guilty of having a little fun at the expense of a female classmate, I mentally breathed a sigh of relief for never having to take "regular breaks" from gym class in middle school or high school — and get singled out.
But then I thought of the many times I insisted on going to school (including gym) and later work, despite being doubled over in pain when I woke up that day. How I used to buy things like Pamprin and other pain killers to get through the day. And even the way the commercial feminine hygiene world seemed to sell me this idea of it all being "just another day" — certainly, nothing worth taking time off for. Maybe the story I've been told about this just wasn't meant for a woman with my kind of monthly situation.
Well, as my Chinese husband would say, God is fair. He may have cursed me with debilitating cramps. But he also blessed me with a husband who is helping me to re-learn the idea of a monthly rest.
Have you been surprised about the Chinese perspective on a woman's menstrual cycle, and what she should do to get through it?

- When to add drainage holes? While various kinds of plants have different drainage needs, few can tolerate sitting in stagnate water for extended periods of time. If exposed to intense periods of rainfall or storms, your soil may not be able to absorb or evaporate the water fast enough.
- When the pot is in an unsheltered location we recommend punching out drainage holes. The process is extremely quick and easy with the right tools. Flip pot upside down and locate areas marked "X" for recommended hole locations. Then punch out holes by using either a drill with a drill bit or a hammer and a nail. The process should only take a minute or two, then the pot will be ready to fill with potting soil and plants of your choice.
Publisher: Fiskars Garden - Pottery
Details: Fiskars bell-shaped decorative planters feature an innovative design that makes watering worry-free. A self-watering insert built into the bottom of the planter traps excess water where the roots can access it, reducing the how often you need to water. It also helps prevent plant-killing root rot by allowing oxygen to access the plants roots. A range of traditional and vibrant color choices make it easy to coordinate with your home décor or add an eye-catching splash of color.

Sky Hi – "Testify" CD
One of the key features that make this music so special is what has been described as "an audible sweat" embedded in the recordings. Recorded exclusively in Nick DeVan's Poor Man Studio, the musicians huddle together in a small heavily insulated social room and grind out hard-boiled track after track. All the musicians are working class folks eking out a liv
The new album from Nashville modern funk collective, Sky Hi, is a testament to the group's longevity. Nearing their tenth year, the band has weathered every manner of line up changes and reinvented themselves more than a few times. But the current line up, as it stands, brings something very special to the table. A slew of different styles and influences converge to create something palpable and unique. It has the grit and the raw essence of old school hard soul but also liberal splashes of modernity.
After nearly two years in production, Sky Hi feels they've let "Testify" marinate long enough. From the frenetic energy of the album's title track to the rolling soul of "Walk Through That Door", Sky Hi has earned their spot in the pantheon
of the Southern Soul tradition. And yet it's songs like "Do Not Want" with it's quasi-reggae lean or "Fell Short" , which feels like it could fit in at any modern RnB station, that show Sky Hi isn't afraid to step away from their idea of soul music and experiment with other genres. The band makes great use of an ever expanding palette of musical textures and songwriting dexterity. A four piece horn section roars over fluttering organ melodies while prodigious guitar licks nip around a rock steady rhythm section. And all of this is anchored by DeRobert "Dee" Adams powerful vocals,thereby making this band an unequivocal monster in the rhythm and blues department. For proof of this, listen to "Love Is Real": a soulful power ballad of sorts that will floor you with it climactic crescendo.
To say Sky Hi has come full circle is an understatement. From their heady early years as a pseudo funk/jam band, to their foray into straight up soul and RnB, Sky Hi has reached the moment where their musical message has grown to
the point that they must testify to it's expansiveness. By far, "Testify" is their strongest offering to date, but we don't think they are anywhere near a stopping point. The musical machine that is Sky Hi will continue turning, and with each passing revolution, it's get stronger and more interes
ing with side jobs and long stints on the road. The recurring themes of poverty, heartbreak and the perpetual struggle to stay on top is reflected in the music.
The new record, "I'm Tryin'" (available Jan 14, 2014) is a testament to a kind of working man's soul music. Holding true to the rhythmic elements of the old days while liberal splashes of DeRoberts modern vocal punctuate the melody like a possessed pugilist sets the group apart from other soul revival acts.
"I'm Tryin'" is the result of two years of hard traveling and sweat drench recording sessions in the "not-so-trendy" working class section of East Nashville. The band and label, both operating on a shoe string budget led a successful crowd funding campaign to finance this record as well as two more down the road. The result is by far one of the finest recordings produced by DeRobert and G.E.D. Soul Records.

Ramey Chardonnay Carneros
Ramey Chardonnay Hudson Vineyard Carneros
Ramey Chardonnay Russian River This vintage marks a significant change in our Russian River grape sourcing. For the first time we�ve included four vineyards from Rochioli Vineyards, including Allen, as one-third of the blend; three vineyards from the Dutton Ranches (27%); with 29% continuing to come from the Charles Heintz Ranch near Occidental. There is also 11% from the small Green Pastures Vineyard: 37-year-old Wente in a pocket canyon up Felta Creek Road. Perhaps because of the new components, we think it's our finest Russian River Chardonnay to date. Goldridge loam and gravelly soils provide a crisper mouthfeel to Russian River Chardonnays compared with their Carneros counterparts.

About Us
For almost thirty years, we have been dealing in fine original works of art by renowned British artists. Having gained an invaluable knowledge, which is passed on to our clients.
The gallery started from a small shop outside Nottingham, (the rent was twenty pounds a week...!). We sold a general selection of art and offered a picture framing service. The frames at that time were all cut by hand and left in clamps overnight. A long way from the electronic machinery we use today.
Business progressed and so did our knowledge of the art world and it's most sought after artists. Relocating to a gallery in the city, was the start of many exhibitions with some of the country's finest artists in attendance, David Shepherd and Gordon King.
The next development was to move into a large gallery in the city centre of Nottingham. This move, although an enormous undertaking and a large financial commitment proved to be a tremendous success, as we became the only Gallery in the city to be offering high quality collectable art by world renowned artists.
Customer service was and still is an imporant priority. The gallery was sold to one of the country's leading publishing companies, who wished to have a 'flagship' gallery in the UK. This gave presented an excellent opportunity to offer via the internet, a service to both the trade and retail where one could purchase original paintings and signed, limited edition prints by the finest most highly regarded artists at excellent prices.
We are considered experts in the work of:- L.S. Lowry, David Shepherd, and Sir William Russell Flint. Holding large stocks of their work, and supplying clients throughout the UK, and worldwide.
Clients can be assured in the knowledge that the work we purchase and sell is of the best possible condition and we personally guarantee the authenticity and condition of all the work for sale.
If you wish to visit the studio, please call us, or we can always arrange a viewing in your area.
One of the world's finest painters in watercolour is Russell Flint.
Through many years of collecting his paintings and prints , we have managed to achieve a selection of work second to none.
Russell Flint is well known for his paintings of nudes, but also the architecture and rural lanscapes of France, and in particular, Dordogne which is the home to many wonderful towns and villages such St. Jean de Cole. Ideally situated in this location is a House available for rental set in beautiful surroundings.
The David Shepherd collection of wildlife, aviation, steam paintings and signed prints.

[JURIST] Saddam Hussein's Iraqi lawyer Khalil Dulaimi told Reuters Saturday that the October 19 trial date for his client indicated Friday by an Iraqi government source unconnected with the Iraqi Special Tribunal [official website] set up to try Hussein was too early, and that "years" were needed to assess what he called the "36 tonnes of files" in the case. It became apparent earlier this week {JURIST report] that the government wants to move on the potentially-incendiary trial days after the scheduled referendum on the draft Iraqi constitution presented to parliament [JURIST report] last Sunday, and well before parliamentary elections scheduled to follow in mid-December. In recent days, Sunni protestors [JURIST report] against the constitution have begun to march publicly with Saddam's picture on placards. Reuters has more.
Meanwhile in Jordan, a legal adviser to Hussein's eldest daughter Raghd said Saturday that the defense team for her father had been completely reorganized. During the summer the vast 2000+ Jordanian-based defense committee was essentially fired by the family [JURIST report] and replaced by Dulaimi alone, but Abdel Haq Alani told reporters that a new team had now been formed that "includes prominent American, European, Asian and Arab lawyers who were chosen on the basis of competence and merit." The first charge Saddam faces [JURIST report] relates to the 1982 killings of dozens of Shiites in the village of Dujail after a failed assassination attempt on the then-Iraqi president. Iraqi officials have said that they expect Saddam to be found guilty and quickly sentenced to death [JURIST report], although Iraqi President Jalal Talabani said again last week that he would not sign any death warrant for him [JURIST report].

Question: What could be better than building a Smart Building where the lighting, HVAC, security and access controls communicate together on a common network and lower operating costs by reducing energy consumption and maintenance?
Answer: Building this Smart Building for less cost than a traditional building.
It may sound impossible, but we've done it. We have been working with property owners, developers, construction companies and architects to develop a Smart Building practice utilizing technology to provide not only greater control of the building systems, but to do so in a manner without incremental cost at the construction phase. This is analogous to providing the benefits of 6-lane super highway for the same cost as a gravel road.
Utilizing traditional construction methods, a building would require a combination of disparate networks for maintaining the building's HVAC, lighting, security and access systems. Economies can be driven by combining all these applications on to one common network and using HVAC, lighting, security and access controllers which incorporate Ethernet connectivity. In addition to eliminating multiple networks, the use of IP native solutions provides deployment cost savings, as they do not require conduit and use lower cost twisted pair wiring.
In two recent opportunities, the 'Smart Building Design' drove over $400K of CAPEX cost out of the construction of a downtown Toronto hotel and over $600K cost out of a commercial office tower. The key to achieving these cost savings is being able to influence the design at the early architecture stage and the collaboration among the providers of the HVAC, lighting, security and access solutions working together in a win-win situation.
Not all companies have embraced this new way of designing and constructing buildings. However, new Smart Building collaboration processes require consultants, architects and construction companies to step outside of their comfort zone. In the future, this will become common practice as both clients and tenants demand greater energy conservation and increased amenities within their building.
After all, who doesn't want more for less?
