Vampiro [Highspots Shoot Interview]
The Good
Billy Jack Haynes, Jamie Dundee, Iron Sheik - what do all these people have in common? Despite the fact they had pretty successful careers despite screwing things up several times over, they have become known as some of the most entertaining shoot interviews because they may, in fact, be insane. Vampiro could easily fit in with that group. I've heard him do some interviews where he seemed a little goofy, but this one with Highspots is over-the-top. He is a walking contradiction. He both rambles and hits the points he wanted to make, he comes across as both bitter and satisfied with his career, he is both self-deprecating and self-promoting, he both buries and puts people over again and again, he states his goal is to both "just have fun" and be deadly serious about his craft and then he hates on workers and fans who take it too seriously. This interview is so impossibly strange that it must be seen or heard to be believed. There is some good stuff about his days in Mexico that if you can decipher them are worth catching.
The Bad
Vampiro is insane and it's hard to overly enjoy listening to a crazy person. This is train-wreck like material as his endless contradictions seems to totally undermine his credibility and sanity. I know there is always the issue with shoot interviews being done when talent is tired and sometimes under the influence, but this is beyond that. Vampiro is all over the place and part of him seems to understand that fact as he repeatedly questions the quality of this shoot interview. People might have a variety of interests when listening to this, but I can assure you that none of your questions or curiosities will be answered.

Michael Doall is a marine biologist, ocean farmer, and aquaculture advocate. Since 1990, Michael has held research positions in the School of Marine & Atmospheric Sciences and the Department of Ecology & Evolution at Stony Brook University, seeking solutions to a variety of marine environmental problems both locally and abroad. For the past 15 years Michael's research has centered on bivalve (oysters and clams) ecology and restoration in New York waters. This research inspired Michael's passion for bivalve aquaculture, both as a means for sustainable seafood production as well as a tool for improving water quality and restoring natural populations, and in 2009 Michael co-founded Montauk Shellfish Company, a commercial oyster farm located in Montauk, NY. Today, Michael brings his aquaculture expertise and industry experience to marine restoration science at Stony Brook University, where he currently serves as the bivalve restoration specialist for the Shinnecock Bay Restoration Program. In addition, Michael is working with Long Island oyster farmers to help advance and diversify aquaculture in NY, investigating the feasibility of incorporating kelp and other seaweeds into existing oyster farms. https://www.somas.stonybrook.edu/

Do you have flickering lights in your house? High bills and damaged appliances can all be a sign of electrical problems on your home circuit. Recognizing these early warning signs can help you protect your family, prevent malfunctions and decrease the risk of fires in your home.
Here are some common signs that will help you find electrical problems in your house and prevent damages.
- Dimmed or flickering lights
Light fixtures draw a small amount of power. So, dimming or flickering is rarely caused by a problem with the fixture itself. More likely the issue is with major appliances that are wired to the same circuit. So, consult an electrician and move lights to a different circuit.
- Odd odours
If you smell something odd from any electrical outlet, immediately turn it off and unplug anything connected to it. Don't use it again until you've had a qualified electrician to check it out. If your fuse box has a weird odour, don't wait. Call an electrician right away.
- Sparking
This is not a good sign. How you deal with it depends on where it's coming from. If it's from a breaker panel, fuse box or outlet, get an electrician in ASAP. But if it's from an appliance then the fixture itself is damaged and in this case, you should call an appliance repairperson.
- Frequently Tripped Breakers
Circuit breakers are designed to fail to prevent overloading of power. If any appliance routinely trips a breaker regardless of where you plug it in, the appliance is the likely culprit. But if using a single outlet causes you to blow the same fuse repeatedly, this means the circuit is probably overloaded. Call in a pro to discuss the matter.
- Buzzing
Have you heard electricity? What does electricity sound like? Generally, electricity flows smoothly and quietly between connections when things are working properly. But when it's not, the current starts to jump, producing a buzzing sound in the process. If you're sure a sound is developing from an outlet, stop using it and call an electrician.
Don't ignore any of these signs. Have your home inspected by a certified professional electrician immediately at the first signs of faulty electrical system. Electrical burns, shocks, and fires create a serious hazard and should never be ignored.

Hey guys, it's been a while since I posted.
Could you help me with 2 math questions?
How can I find the coordinates of the circumcenter of a triangle if I only have the coordinates of the points?
How can I find the radius of an isosceles triangle using the incenter while only knowing the measurements of the sides?
This might seem like insufficient information, so please tell me if I need to add some more explanation.
Thanks a lot.

We are always looking to change the way we look in some way. For many of us we want to add lean muscle mass so that we can look like some of the great fitness enthusiasts that are within the industry. Such role models like Ryan Terry, Rob Riches and Steve Cook all represent healthy, fit bodies that are appealing to the eye. They have an aesthetic look with just enough muscle mass to look in proportion and not like a bodybuilder which can sometimes look a bit too much. But do the greats like the ones mentioned constantly change their supplements? Do they change their protein shake every 4 weeks or do they keep everything consistent and focus more on changing their training?
What Is This About?
This article is inspired by a brief chat I had with two guys training in the gym over the weekend. Both guys looked good and it is clear they enjoy weight training in the gym. I asked how their training was going and they said it was good and the reasons for this was due to taking a new protein. They said they like to change their protein supplement frequently to shock the body and to see what results they get.
My Thoughts
I found this rather strange that they are relying on a protein supplement to change their physique rather than focusing on training and nutrition. Changing your protein month in, month out won't necessarily change your physique. This is because protein is simply protein and it doesn't change depending on what type of product you use. So with this in mind by saying that you are going to use a different protein to shock the body and see what results you get isn't the right attitude to have towards your fitness goals.
What Should You Focus On?
Protein supplements are great to have and I love using them. By all means change your protein supplement if you are fed up of using it or you are going to use something that is better tailored to your needs. Simply relying on a protein supplement to change your whole physique is not going to happen. You need to make sure you focus on your training and your nutrition so that you see changes within your body. This may sound obvious to many of you, but to many others out there they aren't aware that this is the case. Supplementing with protein is only as good as your lifestyle you have with healthy eating and your training.
Moving Forward
Before changing your next protein supplement, make sure you have your training and nutrition plans written down so you know exactly what you are going to do. By doing this you are going to make more progress because you know what works for you and what doesn't. Remember the top fitness models who are signed to different supplement companies do not change their proteins all the time because it isn't necessary. What they do is change their training routines and manipulate their food intake and keep on top of everything.
Protein alone won't build the body you want to achieve. You have to put in 100% effort, hard training and have a good healthy lifestyle.

Ken asks…
How do I get rid of acne? I have tried just about everything!?
The only product that works is Witch Hazel, but works slowly. I want something that works faster. I have tried salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, Witch Hazel. The salicylic acid doesnt work at all, the benzoyl peroxide used to work but doesnt now what do i do and/or use along with the Witch Hazel?
admin answers:
Here are just a few tips to help with your quest to beat acne:
1. Clean your skin regularly with a good cleanser to keep your pores clear and avoid oil and dirt clogging them.
2. Do not squeeze your pimples, by squeezing them you can spread the bacteria over other parts of your skin causing more pimples.
3. Eat a good balanced diet, a healthy diet will go a long way to keeping your skin clear.
4. Drink lots of water which will hydrate your skin and flush out the impurities.
5. Sometimes stress can't be avoided, but you can make some changes so that you deal with stress more effectively.
These are just a few tips that can be followed quite easily and will really go a long way in your battle with your acne.
A healthy lifestyle is the key ingredient to healthy skin!

John asks…
What is a quick and easy acne cure?
I've literally tried everything I'm only in high school but I feel like it is effecting my social life anything easy to do that gets rid of acne quick? I always go to the doc. to get a blue light treatment done but it doesn't seem to help.
admin answers:
There are many ways to cure acne. You have to experiment to find what is best for you. Everyone is different, so don't give up!
You can't go wrong with washing your face… Of course, this doesn't always help those severe cases.
The BEST treatment is prevention! My answer is already pretty long, so here is a good link(:
I always wash my pillow cases every week or so. It really helps!
I recommend a good, non-comedogenic facewash, so it won't cause any other breakouts.
Avoid putting things on your face with a scent, such as hand lotion. It wil most likely cause more breakouts. Again, use non-comedogenic products.
Wash your face twice a day, with the hottest water you can stand. Hot water will open those pores for a much more thorough clean. Rinse with cold water to close those pores back aswell!
Now when you are buying face wash.. You will notice there are two main active ingredients to treat acne.
- Salicylic Acid
- Benzoyl Peroxide
Both are very effective treatments. When used together they can be even better. Just make sure to keep your skin moisturized, they will dry your face quickly.
Salicylic Acid – Works by causing the cells of the epidermis to shed properly. This prevents pores from being clogged. The acid is also known to break down black heads as well as whiteheads. It also allows your skin to absorb more benzoyl peroxide.
Benzoyl Peroxide – Removes dead skins cells and fights bacteria. When used correctly, it can also reduce redness. Probably the most effective by far.
Here are some other options if you want to experiment with at-home methods…
I prefer to use natural products myself. Tea Tree oil has been proven to work as well as Benzoyl Peroxide with less side effects. Although it takes longer to show results. It isn't for everyone!
Some research suggests vitamins such as A and all of the B Vitamins help with acne. Here's the link for that.. Http://goo.gl/rnCk1
Like I said before, everyone is different, so give everything a try! Here is a wiki article, for extra info!
Rubbing Alcohol… Will fight bacteria that cause acne. But alcohol will deffinatly dry that face fast, and potentially cause redness.
* This can actually make acne worse if you dry out your skin… Use in moderation and moisturize often.
To even skin tone and also fight acne I use an Alpha Hydroxy Acid lotion at 10% strength, 3 times a week. It also helps with wrinkles(:
A healthy diet is also very helpful.. But come on, we all know that isn't easy. Especially when you're a kid and your parents call the shots on the food! Here's a link for tips on dieting to improve skin. Http://www.m.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/features/diet-and-skin
Moisturizing is VERY important for a healthy face. It will prevent a lot of dryness. When you get dryness and cracks in the skin, you are just asking for more acne.
Always remember to use non-comedogenic products.
* If you don't moisturize, your face will become oily, making you want to touch and wipe your face, spreading bacteria and other crap into those pore! Plus oil is more likely to attract dirt and dust.
Finally, NEVER touch your face. It's probably the worse thing you can do. Besides popping your pimples… If you pop them, it will make them spread, or even get infected. I don't advise popping them… But if you really must… Do it the right way! Here is a wiki article.. Http://m.wikihow.com/Pop-a-Pimple
Remember not to be discouraged. Everyone gets acne. It's normal. You just have to experiment to find out how YOU can control yours. Good luck
Feel free to contact me via email on my yahoo profile with any questions you may have.

Curing Bipolar Disorder
'They {the medical establishment} hate that word {cure}, like the devil hates holy water'
Dr. Royal Raymond Rife
Intestinal Dysbiosis/Candida Overgrowth
'All diseases begin in the gut' Hippocrates 460-370BC
Mental illness starts not in the Brain but the Gut. Do you have digestive problems like colic, bloating, flatulence, diarrhoea, constipation, and malnourishment {are you very skinny and find it difficult to put on weight?}, and do you have a white/yellow-coating on your tongue? Do you suffer from frequent headaches, mood swings, depression, fatigue, and other symptoms related to 'candida overgrowth?'
Read 'Gut And Psychology Syndrome' By. Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride MD, NMedSci{neurology}, MMedSci{nutrition}
This doctor, who has a clinic in Cambridge for treating mental illnesses like Autism, Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, ADD/ADHD, Depression, Schizophrenia, and Bipolar Disorder. Her son suffered from Autism, she found the cure and the root cause, and believes that all mental illness can be cured.
I found that my bipolar disorder was caused or worsened by Candida overgrowth or Candida Related Complex. You should consult a Naturopathic Doctor {not a homeopath, they're different}, a Nutritionist that has treated Bipolar disorder before, and an orthomolecular medicine doctor.
Candida thrive on sugar, so Cut out all sugar, unstable/imbalanced blood sugar levels can cause depression and hyperactivity, replace table sugar with Xylitol {much more healthier and beneficial and tastes the same in the same portions! You wont notice too much of a difference, don't go near NutraSweet or Aspartame, monosodium glutamate – avoid like the plague}.Cut out stimulants like caffeine, and soda soft drinks.
S. Boulardii is a good probiotic that flushes out candida from the body. Look into Kefir Making, this home-made free probiotic drink in itself will bring you much improvement in your mental health and well being, all you need is Kefir Grains to get started, google 'Kefir Making' and look at Doms Kefir Making website, it tells you everything you want/need to know.
Fasting & Detoxification
Do a detox fast a 3-day apple fast, only red/golden delicious apples, and fresh water, along with coffee enema's, this is all stated in 'Cure your acne in 3 days' but it works great for bipolar disorder, most BP's have bad skin according to one conventional website i was reading. This will help rid your body of the accumulated toxins affecting your brain, and kill a lot of Candida Yeast.
See the outlined 3-day fast here, although for acne, it will work for bipolar disorder also:
Recent studies have shown that Prozac {a popular antidepressant} has anti-fungal/candida properties, and inhibits its growth, this is due to Serotonin. Further, Sodium Valporate {used as a mood stabiliser} has been shown to stop the growth of harmful pathogenic microorganisms/worms in the gut. This is very interesting findings, as it supports that mental illness is due to problems in the gut or intestinal dysbiosis.
Go on the anti-candida diet. Source: 'The Yeast Connection' Book
Drink Alkali water, add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to every litre of purified water you drink, this will prevent disease and reduce the growth of Candida. Source: Mr X Acne e-book
Look also into Gerson Therapy/Juicing, this has cured many diseases, not just cancer, it will help with mental illness. But start this after you have rid yourself of candida.
Correcting Nutritional Deficiencies
-Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega 3 supplements or Carlson's Brand 2-3g per day has been shown in scientific studies to reduce manic-depression significantly. Strictly, the brands mentioned as they are pure pharmaceutical grade, and are used in clinical trials, plus the Carlson's Brand has added fat-soluble vitamins.
Google it to see the research with omega 3 and its remarkable effects on mental illness, yet more evidence that mental illness is due to nutritional deficiencies, which has been aggravated by Candida overgrowth/Intestinal Dysbiosis.
-EM Power Plus + by TrueHope, has been shown to be very effective, look at the testimonies on mcmillans BiPolar website. Personally i have not used this, as my current nutrition programs works great.
-A multivitamin/ mineral supplement in a bioavailable form, E.g . Higher Nature brand
SAMe – 400mg per day, this will boost your energy levels. And has been called the 'instant antidepressant', please have the histamine blood test done with the help of a mental-health orientated nutritionist, before taking this. If you are high-histamine {google it}, you will need to take methionine 1000-2000mg per day.
Getting to the 'Cause' of mental illness
Get blood tests, to test for:
- Histamine {high histamine is the cause of many bipolar type symptoms, highly recommend this test}
-Nutritional deficiencies/Nutritional profile.
- Adrenal exhaustion,
- Homocysteine,
- Pyroluria, http://www.kryptopyrrole.com/
- Allergies, Allergies to certain foods can cause psychological problmes/mental instability, the most common offenders are Milk, Gluten, Egg, in that order, try eliminating each one for atleast 72hours and see how you feel.
- Candida Comprehensive Stool test, or D-Mannitol Urine Test {best and most accurate, bu hard to find a lab/scientist that does this, as its new}
- Thyroid disorders, including Wilson's Thyroid disorder, although this involves monitoring youe body temperature immediately on waking, I think it should be above 97.5F, I am not sure, check this first/research.
-heavy metal toxicity, Ever heard some on say his as 'Mad as a Shoe Maker', well shoe makers used to use harmful chemicals like mercury, lead which made them go mad.
Your nutritionist can arrange these test through a local lab, or you could…, Biolab in London does this.
The Cure for Mental illness was Found Decades Ago!!!
Read Carl Pfeiffer's PhD book 'Nutrition and Mental Illness', he was a pioneer with orthomolecular medicine and cured many people of bipolar disorder.
The Brain Bio Centre in London continues his work, as does the one in Princeton US, although it is very expensive. And in my opinion you can recover and save the money if you read and search for the knowledge.
Dr. Carl Pfieffer MD PhD cured bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, depression, OCD and many other mental illnesses, 30 years ago, he used mega doses of bitamins/mineral to cure the patient, he claimed Schizophrenics had a genetic predisposition to be dificient of niacin. And Bipolars were High Histamine, which can be reduced by taking Vitamin C 1000 – 2000mg as Magnesium Ascorbate and L-Methionine amino acid supplement.
Exercise as much as you can! Especially in the morning, 30mins per day minimum, or Yoga, swimming, meditation, do something relaxing.
Take Coenzyme Q10 30mg to boost energy levels, when you feel tired, also SAMe.
Knowledge is Power
Watch the videos on youtube.com, type in 'psychetruth' and watch the 'Nutrition by Natalie' videos especially.
Take 5HTP to boost the feel good serotonin levels, and melatonin at night if you are having sleep problems. Since the circadian clock of bipolar in usually out of synch. If this is the case, watch the sunrise, and set, this will help synchronise your clock and sleep patterns to normality.
Why does my Doctor/Psychiatrist not know this?
Conventional medicine is crap at treating mental illness, alternative medicine has the answers. Just try it out first, regardless of what your Dr. Will tell you. Just try it.
Psychiatrists make a lot of money from chronic life long mental illnesses, which they claim is genetic and incurable, which is a load of BS. Further drug companies make a lot of money from you; since most mental illness cannot be cured {according to the Doctors, since they are merely repeating what they learnt at med school} you have to stay on medication for a life-time {as maintenance}
Psychiatrists examine mental illness from various angles, although they are helpful, they do not address the cause of chronic mental illnesses like BP disorder. Psychiatrists will look at genetics, childhood experiences, and psychological influences, the last thing they will consider looking at is your digestive system. Strange that, since medical history gives plenty of examples where severe psychiatric conditions were cured simply by 'cleaning out' the patients gut.
Unfortunetly Dr. Carl Pfieffer MD PhD could not afford the expensive $100M+ clinical trials demanded by conventional medicine, as 'evidence', so his work is ignored by doctors, but accepted by naturopaths, nutritionists and herbalists.
Renowned Japanese Professor Kazudzo Nishi, estimates that 1 in 10 psychiatric conditions are due to self-intoxificiation coming from the gut, the odds are muh higher for the westerner, due to poor diet, abundant use of antibiotics/lack of probiotics in diet/fermented food.

text: Longterm average spectrum (LTAS) analysis has been found to offer representative information on voice timbre. It provides spectral information averaged over a period of time and is particularly useful when persistent spectral features are under investigation. The aim of this study was to compare perceived and actual sex of the recorded voices of children to the LTAS characteristics. A total of 320 children, 20 boys and 20 girls in each of eight age groups (range 3 to 12 years), were recorded singing a nursery rhyme. In an earlier analysis, the recorded voices were evaluated with respect to perceived sex by expert listeners. Mean LTAS analysis for boys and girls groups revealed a peak at 5 kHz for children consistently perceived as boys (whether male or female in actuality), and a flat spectrum at 5 kHz for children consistently perceived as girls.

Dec. 10, 2013 Interview with Alex Stanczyk, Chief Market Strategist AFECC regarding recent Physical Gold Bar inventory, site inspection, and refinery visit in Switzerland Nov. 2013:
For thousands of years Precious Metals (PM) such as Gold (Au) and Silver (Ag) have been utilized as real money for exchange, wealth store, and metric of value. While I am NOT an advocate of one single commodity backing our money (like a gold standard), I do believe that the price trend of PMs are the most important indicators of the value of fiat money, plus the crimes of corrupt banking corporations and governments that manipulate PM prices. The "Canary in the coal mine" is Gold - AuCanary.

If you are a small grocery store owner, chances are you are having a tough time competing with your larger, much richer counterparts. Well, you don't have to. You have your own niche, and what you need is to work on keeping your loyal customers to attract new ones.
Gaining customer loyalty shouldn't be a tough task. The change can be from as petty as putting up a simple LED sign display to a major overhaul that involves a reshuffling of store personnel.
To set you off on the right foot, here are a few things to consider:
Your store personnel are the frontliners of your business. You want people who are welcoming and respectful to customers. Otherwise, you are just driving people away. Consider a revamp only in cases of uncontrollable employees. Give them a chance by offering a refresher course on customer service. Make them understand the importance of their job, and how the success of the business will benefit everyone. Offer incentives to better performing staff. This way, the others will get inspired to likewise perform well. Then again, if there are employees that are overly disobedient, by all means find worthy replacements.
To be able to review your workflow, it is best to take the role of a customer. From the standpoint of a customer you will see if you really are treating them right and if you are serving them in the most efficient and polite way. What are the things about the store that you like and you do not like? Take a closer look at every aspect of the store. If there are, what are the things that need to be changed?
Innovation seems to be a big word nowadays. On your part, what are the things that make you different from your competitors? In choosing the grocery to shop in, price is the most important thing customers consider. While you may not have the capacity to buy in bigger bulk like your larger competitors, you can think of things that will make you just as competitive. You can have a modified customer loyalty program. You can be more interactive with your customers by holding raffles and events. How about changing the layout of your store, perhaps add some digital displays.
LED signage provides in-store promotions and easily connects with customers. LED signs are user-friendly and can be programmed to your needs. Don't be the last to incorporate this wonderful innovation into your grocery store. Look up on the best LED sign manufacturers now and see how LED technology makes a difference.
Mega LED Technology is a leading USA manufacturer of programmable LED signs. From our humble beginnings in 2006, our company has expanded leaps and bounds by staying committed to our goal: to provide the highest quality products at the most competitive prices while delivering unrivaled customer service and support.

The week's news from travel and transportation companies -- participants in business categories that, more than most, can be expected to remain focused on New Orleans and the wider disaster zone -- diverged widely.
While two prominent U.S. airlines, Delta and Northwest, were conceding within minutes of each other that bankruptcy could no longer be eluded, MGM Mirage was unveiling plans in Las Vegas for what it immodestly dubbed "the most expensive privately funded project in U.S. history" and Ford was inking a deal unloading its Hertz car-rental unit for a whopping $15 billion.
With much doubt remaining as to how, when and at what cost the Gulf Coast region would recover -- and how those questions would affect the U.S. economy in the long term, and the Fed in the short -- stocks migrated lower. See Special Report: In Katrina's Wake.
The blue-chip Dow industrials DJIA, +0.01% retreated 0.4% on the week, while the broad-based S&P 500 SPX, +0.01% declined 0.3%. The tech-stock-paced Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.20% fell 0.7%.
Stay tuned to MarketWatch this weekend. Online, get continuing coverage of market-moving developments, plus all the latest reports from New Orleans and updates on Sunday's elections in Germany. Our weekend cover feature looks at ideas that might save U.S. commercial aviation, including an Earth-shaking wave of airline megamergers. Visit the MarketWatch front page.
"MarketWatch Weekend," aired on CBS television stations, looks at why so many top museums have given over gallery space to haute cuisine. Plus: Test your mutual-fund IQ and find out which sectors are destined to heat up during the Katrina cleanup. Preview the show.
Tim Rostan, managing editor
'This great city will rise again'
President Bush, in a televised address from storm-ravaged New Orleans, pledged Thursday night that the federal government would fund -- without new taxation -- and help oversee the rebuilding of the shattered city and other areas of the Gulf Coast destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. See full story.
Gross foresees two further Fed hikes
Influential bond-fund manager Bill Gross told MarketWatch he expects short-term U.S. interest rates to peak at 4% this year -- implying two more quarter-point Fed hikes, including one next week -- and added that he'd like the White House economic czar Ben Bernanke to become Federal Reserve chairman when Alan Greenspan retires in January. See full story.
The duel in Deutschland
When German voters head to the polls, they're likely to cast ballots with their heads rather than their hearts. Though Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder is better-liked among the populace than rival Angela Merkel, the onetime Helmut Kohl protégé, it looked likely by week's end that the incumbent's Social Democrats would be turned out in Sunday's elections in favor of a Christian Democrats-led coalition. Schroeder and his party, though, had narrowed the gap in recent days. See full story.
Bankruptcy in the air
With Delta DAL, +0.07% and Northwest NWAC this week joining US Airways and United Airlines in bankruptcy, Editor-in-Chief David Callaway notes in his weekly column, Bankrupt Air looks set to become the biggest passenger carrier in the United States. But, Dave argues, the long slide into mediocrity for U.S. airlines began long before the bankruptcy attorneys sank their claws into the books. See full column.
Lehman sets high Wall Street bar
Lehman Bros. kicked off a new earnings season in stirring fashion. For rivals like Goldman Sachs GS, -0.46% and Morgan Stanley MWD, -0.67%, the challenge is that the stock market will now be looking for equally big things from them. And Lehman LEH, +0.00% reported a 74% increase in net income. See full story.
Own to rent
Ford F, -0.97% said Monday it had agreed to sell its Hertz rental-car unit to private investors including the highly connected Carlyle Group for $15 billion, inclusive of debt, to raise cash and focus its efforts on its struggling automotive business. See full story.
Ellison, Oracle snap up another rival
Oracle ORCL, -3.47% on Monday reached a deal to acquire business-software rival Siebel Systems SEBL for $5.85 billion in cash and stock in another high-priced move by Oracle CEO Larry Ellison. Said analyst Peter Coleman: "This was a must-have deal for Oracle" in its heightening competition with SAP. See full story.
Silver may be set to septuple
Gold hogged the spotlight with its $10 run-up this week, but, according to Commodities Corner columnist Myra P. Saefong, sidekick silver is ready for its close-up. After suffering from a huge supply deficit for more than a decade, Myra writes, silver may be primed for a big rally, with at least one analyst forecasting a long-term trend carrying the metal from its current $7-an-ounce price to exceed its 1980s high of $50.

Big bet on Vegas Strip
In a city known for being big on building big, MGM Mirage MGM, +0.65% is giving the public its first look at the biggest thing ever built here. Or maybe anywhere. Nestled -- to the extent 18 million square feet of casino, hotel, condominium and retail space can be said to nestle -- between MGM Mirage's Monte Carlo and Bellagio properties on the Las Vegas Strip, and six times the size of the latter, the CityCenter project is expected to cost $5 billion and intended to change the very nature of the city.

Soldier Shot Dead in Linstead, While St Catherine Under State of Emergency
Soldier Shot Dead in Linstead, While St Catherine Under State of Emergency
A member of the Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) was shot and killed by unknown assailants in Linstead, St Catherine on Tuesday, July 10, while the parish is under a state of emergency.
According to reports, the soldier was murdered at around 10:30 pm, while the officer was standing on the streetside close to his home in Linstead.
It was reported that the deceased was having a conversation with a group of persons when armed men approached the group and opened fire.
The military man who was not wearing a uniform at the time of the incident reportedly managed to tackle and relieve one of the men of his weapon, while the other, who caught wind of what was happening, shot the soldier, who later died from the injuries sustained.
The attackers then hurriedly fled the scene of the shooting without injuring anyone else.
The identity of the soldier has not yet been disclosed.
The parish of St Catherine has been under a state of emergency (SOE), as part of an initiative by the government in the St Catherine North Police Division, to reduce the flare-up of violence in the parts of the parish.

I've lost my creativity....:(
I would like to apologise for not blogging these days.Again thanks a lot for everyone who emailed to see if I am okay and when I will be posting new stuffs. Well, I am okay , thank you.There has been a lot going in my life, yet again! Last Friday was the last in my now, previous job. It was a very strange day , lots of emotions , mixed feelings and I existed, but I felt like I was rather part of the furniture than living the day.Anyway, its complicated so let's move on.
I have two weeks Easter break from work. And someone from Canada asked me how weird is that, that we have our Easter break when Easter is well done and over with.This is funny as even at work people were saying, this is not Easter break, its half term. Whatever it is, I do not mind the break!I need this a lot right now.
I have done a few projects over the last week or so but didn't manage to upload them...Why? I do not know. I have the time, I have my memory card(no it's not lost)...you know when you have a lot of things on your mind and you cannot think properly? Well that's me right now.But this blogging thing, doing art and craft, is indeed an outlet for me when I am happy, but also an escape when I feel like I need a break from the reality of this world. But I am sure you will understand when I say 'creative blockage'. No matter how hard I try to create, I can't. Its frustrating because I have everything I need but I cannot put them together. But I believe I need to get started even if I have to throw a few projects away, at least I am starting on something, then hopefully from there, the rest will follow.
Okay I didn't mean to bore you with my lack of creativity so, I will upload a few projects later. I might also add a link to the launch of the Free Emag I told you about.
It snowed in London yesterday and it was bright sunshine as well. Isn't this weird?
See ya later.

Three new beauty products to buzz about.
This Just In: Revlon ColorStay Brow Crayon, Chanel Hydra Beauty Micro Créme and Elizabeth Arden Sheer Kiss Lip Oil
ColorStay Brow Crayon
They say: A new eyebrow-enhancing crayon that, "defines and shapes in just one easy sweep." Promised to provide up to 24-hour wear. Available in four shades.
We say: Our tester was initially skeptical about the precision possibilities of these fat crayons. But after one use, her fears were put to rest. While you the oversized tip won't yield a laser-precision line, the unique formula makes the crayon glide on easily and without any mess. It's our new go-to for brow upkeep.
$10.99 | Mass retailers
Hydra Beauty Micro Créme
They say: A new hydrating face cream featuring five patent technologies to leave skin moisturized and plumped. The formula features, "micro-droplets" of camellia extract in its "purest form" to deliver optimum skin benefits.
We say: This luxurious face cream may be the final solution for those looking for a hefty dose of hydration — without a heavy feel. Our tester was impressed with how quickly the product absorbs into skin. Even seemingly hydrated skin can't seem to get enough. The results? Moisturized skin that feels plumper and more "happy".
$125 | Holt Renfrew
Elizabeth Arden
Sheer Kiss Lip Oil
They say: A tinted lip oil that hydrates lips with a blend of oils including coconut, avocado, tsubaki (camellia) and more. The products offers a kiss of colour. Available six shades.
We say: This lip oil is the perfect hybrid of traditional lip colours. It offers the pigmentation of a gloss and the softness of a balm. Our tester love the Neutral hue, which gave lips a subtle shine and a touch of light-brown colour for a natural look that's perfect for work or weekend.
$25 | Hudson's Bay

First gas has been exported from Cygnus Bravo, the satellite wellhead platform in the Southern North Sea's Cygnus development, operated by ENGIE E&P UK Limited.
On the morning of Tuesday 1st August first gas from Bravo was exported 7km SE to Cygnus Alpha, which itself has been at a plateau of 250 million cubic feet per day since 13th December 2016. Combined output then travels from the Alpha processing unit, 150km off the coast of Lincolnshire, via a 55km link to the Esmond Transmission System – which ultimately lands at the Bacton gas terminal in Norfolk.
The overall Cygnus complex comprises four platforms and two subsea structures, serving an estimated field size of 250 square kilometers. It contributes 5% of UK gas production; sufficient to heat the equivalent of 1.5million UK homes.
Maria Moraeus Hanssen, CEO of ENGIE E&P commented: "This is a major milestone for the Cygnus development. It is a very successful achievement; well controlled and safely delivered. I want to congratulate all the teams that have been involved."
"Gas from this second drill center will contribute significantly to extending the plateau production that Cygnus Alpha has been achieving for the last eight months," she added.
Cygnus Bravo at night.
Bravo first gas was delivered from well B5 in one of the platform's 10 well slots, out of 20 across the whole Cygnus complex. A further three Bravo wells are expected to come online during August with a total of five available in 2018, after drilling of well B1 is completed.
Over 80% of the contract work during Cygnus construction was secured by British businesses, supporting more than 5000 jobs at peak. Cygnus represents a significant boost to the UK's long term energy security, with an estimated 2P (proved and probable) reserves of 110 mmboe (million barrels of oil equivalent) and an anticipated production life exceeding 20 years. In addition to output from the complex itself, the partners are evaluating further opportunities in the Greater Cygnus area with the aim of bringing additional volumes through Cygnus when capacity becomes available.
Equity interests are operator ENGIE E&P UK Limited (38.75%) and partners Centrica (48.75%) and Bayerngas (12.5%).

As we all know, Disney is well along the path to world domination. Their latest conquest was one of particular importance to Marvel fans — by nabbing Fox's entertainment business, Disney wrested back the film rights to the X-Men and the Fantastic Four. So, with the X-Men set to become full members of the Disney family, what better way to celebrate than with a little crossover fan art?
Artist Diego Gómez has given a dozen Disney princesses X-Men makeovers — check them out, then be sure to get in on the debate over which mutant powers Disney princesses should really have. It's the argument you never knew you needed in your life. And, if you like what you see, be sure to support the artist by following Diego on Instagram and checking out his Etsy shop!

I worked all day Sunday, which was the nicest day in our mini-stretch of nice days, but I got some pictures anyway. This is stained glass in the library - I love the bright green of the tree shining through on the left!
mountains with legs.
I L-O-V-E these white bleeding heart. I may have to get some for myself. In the meantime, I look out for these in the neighborhood every year.
spring tree! [I haven't tested it 100%, but I think I fixed my camera spot problem with the vacuum cleaner. (make seal around lens, dust goes away!) It's a good thing since none of the many tiny screwdrivers I acquired worked to open the camera.] ANYWAY - I love this green/blue combo.
Yellow tulips at home. They like the sun, too.
Orangey red tulips. (and stealth dandelion. not that they're stealth in the garden, just that I can only see one in this photo.)

It offers an alternative to diesel trains for operation on non-electrified railway lines, which currently make up more than 40 percent of the railway network in Germany. The train will enter regular service on the Cuxhaven-Bremervörde route during 2018.
"We are extremely pleased about winning this award. With the Coradia iLint, Alstom is the first railway manufacturer in the world to have produced completely emission-free technology ready for series production," said Jörg Nikutta, Managing Director of Alstom in Germany and Austria. "Indeed, we have achieved more than this: an innovative mobility concept that is sustainable and competitive, and which includes not only the trains and service, but also the infrastructure necessary for fueling them."

In this article we will discuss the role of inflammation in spreading or recurring breast cancer and how stress management can halt the inflammatory response.
The role and morseo, the control of inflammation is so significant in breast cancer survival that scientists continuously publish papers on identifying and mapping genes that "express" inflammatory factors that impact breast cancer patients. A January 2019 study in the journal cancer medicine (1) demonstrates the point. Here researchers found three inflammation-related genes that could predict risk in prognosis and metastasis of patients with breast cancer. These genes are able to predict recurrence or metastasis because they are pouring out messages to other cells to increase the inflammatory response. Inflammation helps makes cancer.
Another January 2019 study in the journal Cancer (2) examined the role of stress management in breast cancer. In this paper, researchers noted that women with breast cancer experience heightened distress, which is related to greater stress induced inflammation and poorer outcomes.This research comes from the University of Miami.
The study focuses on the s100 protein family and its genes which facilitates the inflammatory response in the body. The s100 family has been associated with accelerated tumor development and metastasis.
A previous study from these researchers examined a 10-week stress-management intervention using cognitive behavioral therapy and relaxation training and found less leukocyte (white blood cell) inflammatory gene expression in patients with breast cancer. The authors noted that because a 10-week intervention may be impractical during primary treatment for breast cancer, the authors developed a program of cognitive behavioral therapy and relaxation training and demonstrated its efficacy in reducing distress over 12 months of primary treatment with the focus on the s100 protein family's type of inflammation.
Participants (average age about 55) were assigned to either cognitive behavioral therapy or relaxation training had significant s100 protein family decreases over 12 months compared with those who were assigned to the control group.
In the end – less inflammation, less cancer.
A November 2018 study published in the journal Einstein, (3) suggests that Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction can be considered a promising alternative for the treatment of breast cancer symptoms. The results show that Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, alone or integrated with other cognitive interventions (nutrition education intervention, Metacognition group therapy), is effective for main symptoms of breast cancer. The researchers concluded: "These findings demonstrate the need for greater provision of alternative treatments for breast cancer symptoms. "
Earlier research (4) on Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction from a combined Chinese and American team explored the positive aspects of stress management in breast cancer patients shedding another view on how stress management may prevent recurrence of breast cancer.
The researchers noted that after treatment completion, breast cancer survivors frequently experience residual symptoms of pain, fatigue, high levels of psychological stress, anxiety, depression, fear of recurrence, and metastasis.
"Post-treatment stress, in particular, can adversely affect health-related quality of life, which, in turn, induces onset or recurrence of chronic diseases. Effective interventions that target these psychological symptoms and their physiological consequences are needed"
One of the worst periods of stress, the researchers wrote, was when women completed main treatments (such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy) and they progress to and have to face the stage of "watchful waiting", a stressful period when the physician seems to be "doing nothing".
Therefore, survivors continue to report remaining physical symptoms of pain, fatigue, and sleep dysfunction, high levels of psychological stress, anxiety, depression, fear of recurrence and metastasis, and impaired quality of life. This the researchers report may even contribute to the recurrence or progression of the disease.
Stress hormones and inflammation
Recently, doctors at the University of Miami published their research in the journal Future oncology (5) on the absolute significance of stress management for breast cancer patients.
- Stress among post-surgical breast cancer patients can affect biological processes that regulate the endocrine and immune systems and these influences can have long-term effects on disease outcomes.
- Chronically elevated cortisol (stress hormone) suppress the naturally occurring anti-inflammatories in the body (glucocorticoid receptors), as a result pro-inflammatory signals are released into the blood by small proteins – cytokines.
- Cytokines and their inflammatory messages can congregate near tumor cells.
- These cytokines may contribute to disease progression by promoting metastasis.
- Therefore stress-associated neuroendocrine changes may contribute to disease course in post-surgical breast cancer patients and increase risk or breast cancer recurrence and mortality.
You need good life partners to help with the challenges of breast cancer
A study from researchers at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School, and the Mayo Clinic published in the journal Psycho oncology (6) found that having good partner support may play a key role in a young woman's adjustment to a serious stressor such as breast cancer.
In this study Six hundred seventy-five young women with breast cancer Stages I-III, median age 36, completed a self-report baseline questionnaire on the perceived support they get from their spouse/partner.
- Women in an unsupported-partnered relationship had higher odds of anxiety symptoms compared with women in a supported-partnered relationship. Young age and being financially insecure were also both independently associated with anxiety in breast cancer patients.
- Because supportive efforts of a partner have potential to protect against the impact of stress, interventions to enhance partner support and reduce anxiety might be beneficial to address challenges experienced as a couple in this setting.
Our cancer program
At the Magaziner Center for Wellness, our treatments are focused on reducing inflammation, enhancing the cellular immune response, and inactivating cancer stem cells since these are the cells that cause cancer recurrences and are much more harmful than the actual tumor cells—all with the goal of improving quality of life, strength and vigor, and extending life span. We place particular emphasis on an anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle, and biologic agents that quiet the inflammatory pathways since inflammation has been found to foster the growth of cancer cells.
Most of our patients have already been through the rigors of conventional treatments but either experienced untoward side effects or unsatisfactory outcomes as the cancer continued to grow. The sooner we begin treatment, the better, since there is usually less damage to the immune system and to the vital organs. Your body then has a better chance to recover.
Our program emphasizes the concept of Thriving While Surviving. We strive to transform cancer from an acute disease into more of a chronic illness, one that can be lived with for many months or even years.

Monday: Focus: Emotional Equilibrium.
I found out I'd be spending the next two weeks training co-workers from other offices – on stuff that I didn't have put together yet for myself. (It's not because I'd procrastinated (this time), but because I haven't been given a schedule – nor told the shape our National Seminar would take this year.)
There was other stuff going on too. I don't remember what (Oh yeah. The CEO showed up unannounced!), but we'll just say my disposition wasn't the sunniest even BEFORE that event. A very brave, nice, friend offered to take me to dinner Monday night. We agreed to meet at my house about a quarter to seven. I'd been so busy at work, and not on-line, that I really wanted to get something writing done and resolve some correspondence before he showed up.
When I arrived home – my LDC screen was black. I assumed my computer had gone into "hibernation mode", so I restarted it. It wasn't hibernating because I still had a dark screen after I rebooted. Instead of stressing about this, I picked up the morning paper and read until my date arrived.
After a great dinner, I looked at my computer again. I found if I touched the toggle switch for screen-up/screen down, I'd get a 30 second glimpse of display as the screen refreshed.
Tuesday morning Focus: Getting ready for Wednesday
I brought my laptop to work. When I plugged it into the external monitor, everything was fine. I called Dell. I spent about an hour on the phone with them disassembling my computer – and proving that the LCD screen really HAD gone bad. Thankfully, it's was still under warranty, so they said they'd be out in 2-3 days to fix it.
I spent the rest of Tuesday at work, actually WORKING!, and getting ready for the arrival of the first group of trainees. That night, I took home my OLD work laptop and got some more stuff done.
(Digression) I have a BRAND NEW work laptop! It might be great, I don't know. I don't have time to set it up – and it's Vista – so there's a learning curve that I just don't want to deal with right now, so it's acting as a third screen for my internet/web-based work because it is networked, so I can move stuff between it and my OTHER laptop.) (/Digression)
Wednesday Focus: Getting Ready for Thursday
Dell called to say they were coming to my office to fix the laptop. Since they'd said "two to three days" before the part would arrive, I hadn't brought in my computer. I spent the day in the office leading a "How to prepare data for a National Seminar (when you're not prepared)" meeting.
At the end of the day, there were documents that HAD to be ready to go for the next morning's session, so I brought home my WORK laptop, since it was, you know WORKING.
Thursday Focus: Ignoring the Obvious
The Dell guy showed up. Because I was buried in the conference room I didn't talk to him when he left (I didn't even know he HAD left). Mid-afternoon my coworker, ADD Boy, told me that my LCD screen had been replaced, but the tech said my motherboard and hard drive had crashed.
Me: "Ha-ha, very funny. But he said the screen is fixed, right?"
Co-worker: "Yeah, but YOUR HARD DRIVE AND MOTHER BOARD are dead."
Me: "Ha-ha, very funny. We're busy in here, go away." (he might have tried a few more times to make me believe my computer was dead, but I wasn't falling for his joke.)
Late in the afternoon the GM came into the conference room.
GM: "Why was Dell here? What's wrong with your laptop?"
Me: "Screen died. They came to fix it."
Me: "No – my old one."
GM: "Why are we spending money on the old laptop when you have a new one?"
Me: "First, I don't have time to set up the new one. Second, it's not work's laptop, it's mine (They look/are exactly the same) and I need it to live, m'kay?"
GM: "ADD Boy says the hard drive and mother board are gone?"
Me: "No, they're fine, he's just teasing me."
GM: "Are you sure?"
Me: "Yes, everything BUT THE SCREEN is working JUST FINE." (*if I ignore the blue screen that seems to come up 2 or 3 times a week*)
At the end of the day, I had some documents that once again HAD to be ready to go for the next morning, so again I brought home MY laptop (so I could rejoin my life) and my work laptop.
I started MY laptop. I got the red screen of death.
I started MY laptop. I got the red screen of death.
I started MY laptop. I got the red screen of death.
I started my WORK laptop and Googled "Red Screen of Death" – then I just ignored MY laptop and got my work done.
Friday Focus: Making it Out Alive
Friday morning when I got to work, I casually I asked my co-worker if Dell was returning SINCE MY MOTHER BOARD AND HARD DRIVE WERE FRIED. (I only yelled at the end)
I wanted to say, "OH MY GOD, YOU BIG BLOODY IDIOT WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME MY COMPUTER WAS DEAD???!!! WHY DIDN'T YOU LET ME TALK TO THE DELL GUY YESTERDAY!!!???" But you know, he did try to tell me. Three times. *sigh*
Because I was SO CASUAL (and nice) when I asked my question, ADD-Boy said he thought the guy mentioned he MIGHT be at the office "sometime today". Thankfully I had brought MY very, very, broken and dead laptop to the office on the off chance Dell would show up again and not just laugh at me.
The Dell guy showed up. THIS TIME I talked to him. He confirmed. Everything dead. NOTHING TO recover from the hard drive. "Catastrophic event" I think were the words he used.
Thankfully, I back up my home computer everyday (automatically) to the work server. So I was all cheerful. NO PROBLEM … I'll just RESET UP MY COMPUTER. *sigh*
So – besides stressing over the National Seminar where we'll be demonstrating PROGRAMMING CHANGES THAT WE DON'T HAVE YET, and training coworkers on presentation skills (as I hurriedly throw together presentation outlines), I spent the afternoon and Friday night re-installing EVERYTHING to my home laptop. (Ssssh. Don't tell the GM. If I have time to do this, then I have time to set up that damn Vista computer.)
Saturday Focus: Restoration
I'm fairly pleased. There are a few things that have made this setup easy. First – I LOVE FireFox/Google Docs/and FoxMarks.
FoxMarks tracks all my bookmarks between my laptops – and synchs them up. I've had to spend NO TIME recreating all my links. (which is good, because I have 75 different ones just for "cotton" and we won't even get into how many blogs I track, not to mention categories like "cars", "hotels", "banking", "bills", "investments" and "cooking").
Our proprietary backup software has also helped me restore everything**. (**Except for the new directories I'd made and hadn't included in the backup.) *sigh*
I thought I'd lost most of Josiah (my novel), because I'd just moved all those documents into a new directory as I "reorganized" and (**see note about things not included in my daily backup).
Also including in "**see note" was my second whole semester of my Fiction Writing class. The on-going albatross known as "Fish Out of Water" and "Flume Tender's Cabin" were also gone. (Because you know, they were in new directories NOT included in the backup.)
THANK GOD for Google Docs. I save almost everything there too so I can access it from work/the road/home so I've just had to go in and re download my stuff (or the most recent revisions). There are some things that have been lost. The two Josiah documents I was most worried about were my story time-line and background/research documents. I found fairly recent copies of everything in my Google Docs folder!
I'm still finding odd drivers I need to download (audio cards), and I don't think my graphic card is running the right driver (but I'll let the guys at work figure that out). Overall I keep telling myself there are two good things out of this:
I (generally) have a good backup system which has SAVED MY BUTT and don't care who teases me about backing up daily.
Because I'm reinstalling everything on my laptop, I've gotten rid of a whole bunch of "preinstalled" crap that I never wanted in the first place.
Last week, in spite of everything, we had a good training session. I'm not so hopeful about the group of coworkers coming in this week. BUT, I've been proven wrong in the past. Maybe I'll be proven wrong again. In any case, I better quit messing with this laptop and get back to "work".
It's back to focusing on the National Seminar, again.

Ofsted letter to Headteachers
Ofsted has recently written to Headteachers alerting them to changes to inspections that will start from 1 September 2014. This follows publication of the Note for inspectors: use of assessment information in 2014/15.
The key details of relevance to primary schools are:
- the introduction of a separate graded judgement for the early years;
- an increased focus on how well school leaders tackle low-level disruption and ensure that pupils' conduct and attitudes to learning are good;
- greater attention on whether or not a school's curriculum is broad and balanced and promotes tolerance of and respect for people of other faiths, cultures and lifestyles;
- details as to what evidence Ofsted will use given the demise of National Curriculum levels.
The letter also outlines the criteria that will be used for unannounced inspections for 2014/15.
Ofsted and assessment information
The note for inspectors provides details of the assessment evidence that Ofsted will be using in 2014/15 to judge learning and progress recognising that there will be a mixed economy for the next year as schools start to migrate to the new curriculum and assessment arrangements. Specifically:
- Pupils in Years 2 and 6 will still be taught the old National Curriculum so their attainment and progress will continue to be tracked and measured using levels.
- For other pupils, apart from those in Year 1, there will be historic data expressed in National Curriculum levels as well as assessment data collected against the new Programmes of Study.
- Additionally, some schools may choose to move away from the use of levels immediately, others may do so more gradually. In 2014-15 inspectors will recognise that schools are likely to be still developing their preferred new assessment system. Continue reading →
