Frequently Asked Questions
I am a small business owner; do I have to worry about data breach coverage?
The cost per data record, according to the 2017 Cost of Data Breach Study, is $141 per data record. If you have 10,000 customers that calculates to $1,410,000. Cyber liability can help mitigate this disaster that can end most small businesses.
What is Umbrella Insurance and why would I need that?
A personal umbrella insurance policy provides additional liability coverage to the automobile, home, and other personal liability coverages you have in place. The same can be said for business owners as well. A business umbrella policy provides additional liability coverage to the liability coverage the business owner has on the business policy. When you consider that Life Flight can run from $19,993 to over $100,000 and the fact that a day in the hospital can be more than $3,000 you want to make sure you have enough coverage to avoid reaching into your own bank account.
What is a home warranty and why would I need one?
A home warranty can help cover major systems in your home like Air Conditioning, Electrical, and Hot Water Heaters. It can also cover major appliances like the washer, dryer, refrigerator, and oven. There are also options to cover both systems and appliances. It can fill gaps your home policy will not.
My child was mowing the lawn and put a rock through my side window and it shattered, can I get a rental car while it is being repaired?
There are a few things that must happen for rental car coverage to apply to a loss. First your car must be incapacitated by a covered loss. You must pay for rental car coverage on your policy. The damage to the vehicle must be more than your deductible! If you have a $500 deductible and the damage to the window is $485.00, you won't qualify for rental car coverage.
What is a deductible?
A deductible is the dollar amount of damage that you as the policy holder are responsible for paying. If you have a $500 deductible and suffer a loss of $200 the insurance company does not have an obligation to pay as the loss or damages are less than the $500 deductible. If you have the same $500 deductible and have a loss of $1,000 you would be owed $500 from the insurance company.
As a business owner, if I fire an employee and get sued, can you help cover that?
Yes, we can help cover that. Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) provides coverage against claims made by employees for discrimination, wrongful termination, and other employment issues like failure to promote an employee. The 2017 Hiscox Guide to Employee Lawsuits stated that a study of 1,214 closed claims of medium to small sized companies cost an average of $160,000!
My last insurance company denied a claim for my leaking roof, will you cover that?
Most insurance policies do not cover maintenance issues. Typically, the loss must be sudden and accidental like a burst pipe, wind damage to the home because of a storm, or a house fire to trigger coverage.
What if I don't tell the insurance company about my claims or driving history?
Most people these days assume that Facebook, Amazon, and Google know everything. Well, generally, to get a qualified auto rate or any rate, insurance companies subscribe to reporting bureaus that report claims or loss history as well as tickets and accidents.
I have X condition, I can't qualify for Life Insurance, can I?
These policies require medical underwriting which normally entails a medical exam of a blood draw, urine sample, height, and weight. Also, they review medical history so if you conditions, like my diabetes, are in control you can qualify for coverage.
Doesn't the life insurance I have through my employer mean I don't need more life insurance?
Life insurance, if offered by your employer, is great. Usually you can elect a certain amount without a medical exam. When you leave that job the life insurance stops. With that in mind, I would only use workplace life insurance as a supplement.

Gait epilepsy. A case report of gait-induced seizures
Iriarte J., Sánchez-Carpintero R., Schlumberger E., Narbona J., Viteri C., Artieda J.
Department of Neurology, Clínica Universitaria, University of Navarra, Pamplona, Spain.
Magazine: Epilepsia
Date: Aug 1, 2001Pediatría [SP] Neurology [SP] Neurophysiology [SP]
Reflex epilepsy includes a group of epileptic syndromes in which seizures are induced by a stimulus, either simple (visual, somatosensory, olfactory, auditory) or more complex (e.g., eating, thinking, reading). We document a case of reflex epilepsy in which focal seizures are triggered exclusively by gait.
The patient is a young boy whose walking was impaired by abnormal motor phenomena on the left side. These phenomena were elicited by gait and were accompanied by a distinctive ictal pattern with centro-temporal discharges. After comparing this patient with others reported in the literature, we determined that he has an unusual type of reflex epilepsy for which we coined the term gait epilepsy.
This disorder must be considered when physicians are making a differential diagnosis in patients who have symptoms that suggest paroxysmal kinesigenic dystonia (PKD) or selective epileptic gait disorder.

Credit Card Act 2010
After years of complaints from consumers who howled about usurious interest rates, fines, manipulation and other unsavory business practices, Congress took action and passed legislation to protect consumers against the predatory lending practices of credit card companies. President Obama signed the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act, or Credit CARD Act, into law on May 22, 2009.
The Credit Card Act introduced many different measures to protect consumers from being gouged by the credit card companies. And rightly so since, let's face it, not everyone uses credit responsibly or understands the repercussions of missing a payment or going over his or her credit limit. Because credit card applications have print so fine that it takes a scanning electron microscope to see it, the Credit Card Act provides enhanced consumer disclosures such as:
- Spelling out precisely how long it will take a borrower to pay down a debt if they only make the minimum payment each month
- Clearly shown payment due dates and postmark dates on statements
- How much it will cost in interest and principal payments if a borrower only pays the minimum each month
Consumer Protections in the Credit Card Act
The Credit Card Act contains many different consumer protections to prevent borrowers from falling victim to some of the more egregious predatory lending practices. Anyone who has been late with a payment, even once, knows what some of these predatory practices are and how much they sting financially. Some of these new protections include:
- Credit card companies may not impose a retroactive interest rate unless a consumer is more than 60 days late with a payment
- A lender must review a client's account six months after increasing their interest rate and return the rate to its previous level if the borrower has made on-time payments
- Interest rates cannot be increased on an account within the first 12 months, and the promotional rates that companies try to lure accounts with must last six months at the minimum
- Universal default (the practice of hiking a borrower's interest rate even though they were late making a payment on an unrelated account), and double-cycle billing (the practice of waiting to post a payment until very late in the next payment cycle to maximize monthly interest charges) are not allowed
- Credit card statements must be sent out no later than 21 days before payment is due
The Credit Card Act also introduces many consumer protections for young consumers under 21 years of age who were a major profit center for credit card companies. The Act also contains language to protect consumers from unfair practices involving gift cards. Gift cards are now required by law to remain active for at least five years from their activation date, and issuers may not impose dormancy or inactivity fees against a card if used once in the previous 12-month period.
Before the Credit Card Act was passed, credit card issuers reacted to the impending legislation with predictable compassion for their clients. They raised rates and fees while it was still open season on cardholders. Now, consumers have a great many more protections against these practices. However, it's important to remember that even though borrowers have more protections, it is still very easy to get into credit card debt and consumers need to be vigilant about managing their credit.

Today was full of a bunch of casual, serious-matter conversations with seven-year-old Eliza, and I realized that we've never really written about a huge aspect of our parenting philosophy before.
We answer questions honestly.
That sounds simple, but it is actually really difficult. Kids, especially really inquisitive kids like Eliza, ask some really tough questions. Our policy is to answer them in a straight forward, age-appropriate way. Which means that we haven't approached the birds and the bees yet, but we have talked about a ton of things that most parents would feel awkward talking about with a 7-year-old: artificial insemination, drugs, death and miscarriage , evolution, historical and contemporary discrimination, why exactly the sky is blue… things often get philosophical, and we're not afraid to tell her we don't know (followed swiftly by "lets look it up together") or give her multiple perspectives (as in, some people believe this, but others believe this).
Our thought is that talking about the tricky things will not only educate Eliza and fulfill her curiosity, but will also make it more natural to talk to us about tough topics. That way, when the time comes that she needs to know things about serious topics like sex and drugs, she'll be comfortable talking about that stuff with us instead of getting the information from equally uninformed friends.
Having teenaged siblings reinforced this idea for us: they came to us with all sorts of questions, and you wouldn't BELIEVE how misinformed they were. But, you know, we kept it casual then too and answered their questions. Usually with humor. Humor helps. (For instance, if a teenager asks you if double bagging it works, then just say that all condom companies would obviously put FIT AS MANY OF THESE ON THERE AS POSSIBLE on the cover if that were true. They'd sell three times as many. And then go into the whole friction-tears explanation.)
Those super awkward conversations, thankfully, are years off. But we thought we'd give you a sampling of a few of the serious Eliza conversations going on lately.
One of the funnier (and more embarrassing) occurrences after Eliza was teaching one of her friends a Fun. song very loudly in a restaurant. She really loves the song "We Are Young", and the line "My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State" didn't seem like a huge problem until she was teaching it to another kid.
When we told her the line was inappropriate, she wanted to know exactly why. So we told her that "getting high" is slang for "doing drugs" and asked her if she knew what drugs were. She knew that they were vaguely connected to alcohol, so we explained the difference between illegal, legal, and medical drugs. She still didn't understand the line, but when Jake told her that the Empire State is a really tall building, she said, "Oh! I get it know! It's a metaphor!" (Parenting WIN.)
We then discussed when it's appropriate to sing the song (in our house, in the car) and when it's not (at school, around other kids), and why (some parents might not want to have this conversation, and we need to respect that).
But more often, serious conversations happen not because E needs to understand things that she says or does, but simply because she is excellent at asking questions.
Today's car conversation is a good example. We went from music, to nudism, to cultural relativism. Yep.
We started off with a random question from Eliza, as these conversations so often do: "I want to go to more concerts! How many concerts did I go to when I was in Mom's tummy?"
We told her it was hard to count, because we went to Bonnaroo that year and there was literally three straight days of concerts.
"That sounds awesome! Can I go?" asked Eliza.
"No. There are a lot of inappropriate things there. A lot of people were doing drugs, and it made us uncomfortable. We wouldn't want to take you there," I said.
"Yeah, and there were nudists!" said Jake.
"What are nudists?" asked Eliza.
We went on to explain about nudists, nudist colonies, situations in which clothing is protective, and situations in which clothing isn't really necessary, but is totally up to cultural norms. (Eliza, for the record, thinks it's stupid that boys don't have to wear shirts when swimming but girls do. "They're just boobs, get over it!" she says. She picks up on inequality: she doesn't think it's fair that boys "can't" wear make-up and finger nail polish, and finds it confusing that it's considered perfectly normal for male rock stars but not her friends that might think it's fun.) We talked about places where people wear just a little clothing and loin cloths, places where people wear a great deal more clothing than we do and find our clothing immodest, and places where people wear a similar amount of clothing, but don't have a problem with things like nude beaches. We talked about changes in what constituted acceptable clothing over time, like girls in our society being unable to wear pants.
When we talked about people wearing additional clothing, I mentioned that women are expected to cover their hair in some cultures but men aren't, just like the shirt rule here. "Oh! Madame [her teacher from last year] must have come from one of those countries!" said Eliza. "What do people dress like in Monsieur [her teacher this year]'s country?"
Her teacher was born in Italy, which falls under the similar to America + some nude beaches category, but I didn't know about Luxemburg, which is where he was raised, so we decided to look it up tomorrow.
Then we moved on to how she's excited for Chinese New Year tomorrow, and Mardi Gras later this week. And then we decided where to eat dinner.
All in all, a normal 45 minutes in a car with the Andersons.
While a lot of parents might not agree about talking to kids about serious subjects so young, we think that it gives Eliza more time to work out what she thinks about the world, before peer pressure sets in. We think that conversations like these make her more tolerant of people who are different, because she gets information about people that she might not gather in her everyday life. It gives her a dose of my favorite area of nerddom: sociology. Most importantly, answering her questions as fully and honestly as possible allows her to continue her curious nature, to continue to ask questions, and to continue to expand her knowledge.
Because, as our favorite quote from Socrates goes, "The unexamined life is not worth living."
How do you approach serious topics with kids?
Let's Get Serious is a blog series where we share our opinions and put ourselves out there. We get that not everyone thinks the same way; the same things don't work for everyone. These are our opinions. They don't have to be your opinions. We'd like to hear about what you think, but please don't be mean to us. Let's respect each other and talk about it!

Make no mistakethe NCD Explora is an X-terminal product through and through. NCD has made no attempt to customize Explora or adapt it to the Windows NT market. Just getting Explora to work in an NT-only environment can be challenging, because Explora is incapable of fully booting from ROM and wants to boot from a UNIX system. Unfortunately, I didn't happen to have a UNIX system lying around that week, but then again, such situations make this NCD story interesting.
If you put aside the Explora's X-centric nature, you find a pretty interesting desktop unit. The base unit is a small box with connections for Ethernet, keyboard, monitor, mouse, parallel port, serial port, and a PC Card (formerly PCMCIA) slot. You can buy the monitor, keyboard, and mouse from NCD, or you can supply your own. As with most X-terminals, you configure the Explora with an IP address (it does not support DHCP), and you can configure a UNIX host for it to boot from. Again, booting the Explora was a problem for me until I discovered that NCD offers an add-on software product called NCDware that lets you boot X-terminals from the NT server that hosts the X-terminal sessions.
Like the other vendors I reviewed, NCD offers its version of WinFrame, called WinCenter (see Screen A). But WinCenter goes beyond WinFrame because it adds support for X-terminal access. To enable this support, you must first install NCD's OEM version of WinFrame on your designated server and then install a second WinCenter add-on (the WinCenter package includes both WinFrame and the add-on). Once the add-on is in place, your server can accommodate access from both ICA and X-terminalsif you can get your X-terminals to boot in the first place.
The final piece was an NCD product, NCDware. This product is an add-on that installs after WinCenter (including the X-terminal add-on). NCDware includes an implementation of Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) and the download code for the Explora terminal. With NCDware in place, I booted the Explora terminal and tested it using NCD's WinCenter software. Note that NCDware lets you download other types of X-terminals, but NCDware includes download code for only a limited set of X-terminals.
I tested ICA access to WinCenter on the Wyse terminal and the Tektronix Netstation terminal in ICA mode. I also tested X access on the NCD Explora terminal, the Tektronix Netstation terminal in X mode, Insignia's NTRIGUE Mac Client (an X-terminal emulator), and both NCD's PC-Xware and Hummingbird's Exceed X-terminal emulation software running on an NT Workstation system. I had no problems with NCD WinCenter's support for ICA or X-terminals. Also, NCD Explora's performance was close to the Wyse ICA terminal's (though Explora had a slight performance edge).
Will you want to consider the NCD Explora terminal? I really liked the unit after I overcame my problem with booting it. From a broader perspective, however, you'll probably want to stay away from this unit if you don't have experience with X-terminals or you don't have X-terminals in your network. However, if you have developed a taste for X-terminals, the NCD Explora is clearly worth considering. The same applies for NCD's WinCenter and optional NCDware software products: If you don't have X-terminals in your network, you won't find much of interest here. If X-terminals are in your network (or in your future), though, you might get excited about X-to-NT access and booting your X-terminals from an NT server.

text: Lenders Mortgage Insurance is a type of insurance that lenders take out to protect themselves in case the borrower defaults on the loan. Lenders usually charge the borrower a one-off fee to cover this insurance if the amount borrowed is more than 80% of the value of the mortgaged property. LMI is an insurance product that will protect the lender in case the borrower defaults on the loan. This amount is generally paid by the lender up to an LVR (Loan to Valuation Ratio) of 80% (some may go up to 85%), and the borrower will pay if the LVR is above that.

A Treasure-Filled Trip Through Time at Starwood's Grand
Hotel, Firenze
Myrna Katz Frommer
Harvey Frommer
It is
early afternoon, and the doors of InCanto, the restaurant at Florence's
Grand Hotel, are opened wide onto the Piazza Ognissanti. Tables laid out
across the terrace are filled with Florentines as much as tourists who
linger over lunch this lovely day in the wake of one of the hottest
summers in memory. The River Arno, brownish gold in the autumn sunlight,
is dammed just at the point where it runs past the piazza, and the sound
of rushing water is a constant and soothing background.
The burgo
(small neighborhood) encompassing the Piazza Ognissanti is within walking
distance of the fabled churches, museums and palaces of Florence. Yet it
is, in itself, a small repository of artistic and historic treasures. The Ognissanti Church, for example, which faces the Arno from the head of the
piazza was the parish church of the Vespucci family of explorer Amerigo
Vespucci fame. A Baroque jewel with frescoes by Sandro Botticelli and
Ghirlandaio, it was originally built in the 13th century and rebuilt 400
years later.
But this is
revealed gradually. The entry is contemporary in feel, an open space of
understated elegance and minimal furnishings with the smooth gray stone
floor typical of Florence interiors. One must walk past the concierge's
desk and the reception area down a distance of perhaps 50 feet before
being suddenly plunged into the romance of 19th century Italy where the the hallway ends and the Winter Garden begins, an expanse the size of a
grand ballroom with a stained-glass paneled ceiling perhaps four stories
high. The change is stunning, and it takes the breath away. Roman arches
rise from gray stone pillars defining recesses down the length of both
sides of the room, comfortable alcoves where guests enjoy drinks or
afternoon tea amidst potted palms. French doors at the far end seem to be
opening on to gardens beyond. A balcony that rings the room looks down
onto the patterned floor of white, yellow and gray marble. And all these
images repeat endlessly in 17th century mirrors lining the walls.
It was
Judith Otto, director of sales and marketing, who called our attention to
the mirrors. "There are so many valuable objects in this hotel going back
to the time of the Renaissance," she told us. "We've begun a project to
research, categorize and label each one; we feel it is our responsibility
to maintain the historical aspect."
"For as
long as anyone could remember, this wall was covered by a huge mirror. No
one suspected anything was behind it. Then one day the mirror was taken
down, and this is what we found. The place is filled with discoveries."
No one knew this fresco was hidden behind a mirrored wall
discovered two 17th century paintings hanging in the lobby which Judith
told us were of great value, leaden window-panes that overlook a small
interior garden that are hundreds of years old, a particularly unique
table made of nut-wood, fabulous Murano chandeliers illuminating the
ballroom. It seems the Grand Hotel is a virtual storehouse of antique
furniture and objects d'art, a number of which, we learned, had been
bought by the brother of the Aga Kahn for the various Ciga Hotels and
ended up being stored here.
Judith Otto, Director of Sales and Marketing
"All the
rooms are furnished with fine reproductions of 15th and 16th century
pieces and sometimes an actual antique piece or two," Judith noted. "Still
each room has its own unique design and focuses on a particular color,
Tuscan reds and golds, the more muted blues and greens.
For more
than one hundred years, the Winter Garden was fittingly the restaurant of
the Grand Hotel. Only recently has InCanto taken its place. Situated at
the virtual doorstep of the hotel with entrances from both the lobby and
the Piazza Ognissanti, it is a fresh take on what to expect of a
restaurant in a classical European hotel.
A native
of a small town near Genoa, he cooks in the Tuscan tradition using the
best ingredients available, but he strives to prepare food in a modern,
healthy manner. This means olive oil in the place of butter. No fettucini al fredo. No cream sauces.
Daniele, who
looks much younger than his 37 years, presents a menu that combines the
traditional with the unexpected like sorbet of sweet pepper with poached
prawns in a balsamic vinegar, baked scallops in philo pastry in carrot and
lime sauce, medallion of veal in Arabica coffee sauce. There are low fat
dishes and three vegetarian options. Our excellent dinner included a
typically Italian starter of tomato filled with goat cheese and broad
beans in a wonderful pesto and Chianti sauce, and the novel but
delightful combination of salmon with apples and grapes in olive oil. We
also had Garganelli pasta with fillets of red mullet -- at their best in
October - - and moist, tender fillet of sea bass in a crust of squid
ink-flavored risotto in a sweet and sour sauce.
The next
week, Daniele told us, his winter menu begins. He prepared a sample for us
of the traditional Tuscan ravioli filled with a puree of bread and
tomatoes that had the consistency of cornmeal. It was just the thing to
come out of the cold for.
participates in Starwood's Wines of the World, an international selection
which can be ordered by the glass as well as the bottle. But we wanted to
choose from among the many local offerings. There were Chiantis aplenty
which we are great fans of, but this time we had a most satisfying robust
and ruby-red sangovise from Sòdole, a vineyard near Sienna.
"Moving the
restaurant to the front of the hotel was an advanced approach for
Florence," Judith had told us. "Typically locals do not frequent hotels;
it's not part of the culture. But with the outside entrance, they don't
feel like they are coming into a hotel, and so they began to stop at
InCanto for a drink, for lunch. In nice weather, they sat outside on the
dining terrace. Now we have a nice mixture of hotel guests and
Florentines, and both groups seem to enjoy the intermingling."
defines the Grand Hotel of the 21st century, the Winter Garden recreates
its 19th century ambience, and the guest rooms evoke its
Renaissance past. Together they make a stay at this property the kind of
trip through time that echoes the larger Florentine experience. Paolo
Basagni takes such time travel in stride. He's been head concierge at the
Grand for a decade now and on the scene at the Piazza Ognissanti since he
began working at the Excelsior as a "liftier" (elevator operator) when he
was 18 years old. That was a year after the flood when both hotels were
part of the Ciga chain.
"After the
Gulf War, the economy went down and the company went bankrupt," he said.
"The Forte chain, the Hilton chain wanted to buy Ciga. But the Sheraton
won out. Then Starwood bought Sheraton. The Grand became part of the
Luxury Collection and the Excelsior became a Westin."
Head Concierge Paolo Basagni
"Did he sing
in the shower?" we asked.
"No one
would know. The walls are too thick."
Paolo told us the current general manager is one Antonello de'Medici. No
genealogical connection has as yet been made. Still it
does seem fitting that, after all this time, there is a Medici back on the
premises once again.

Mission One: A Future Introduction (cont)
Mission One: A Future Introduction (Continued)[edit]
After you've dealt the killing blow to each soldier appearing on your HUD, the game will instruct you to proceed through the rest of Times Square. It won't be long until you run into the next obstacle in your path, a series of military tanks that you must destroy. Thankfully, it appears that Alex has just the "tools" for the job, in the form of concrete-like fists. Approach each of the tanks carefully and destroy them one at a time by striking them with vicious melee attacks. The tanks can do a considerable amount of damage compared to standard infantry, so you'll want to deal with them quickly, to minimize the threats they pose. Some infantry may show up while you're dealing with the tanks, so be sure to lay into them as well when given the opportunity.
It won't take you too long to meander through the rest of Times Square, even if it is a chaotic mess of insanity right now. However, the next danger you encounter won't be in the form of military men or their tanks. Instead, it will be in the form of mutated creatures known as Hunters. About a half-dozen of these beasts will show up on the scene, and thankfully, they're dangerous to everyone, not just you. So the military in the area will focus on fighting them as well, making your life a little easier. The Hunters can take a bit of damage, but should be of absolutely no issue to the likes of Alex and his supernatural attacks. Track down each of them -- they'll be represented by red skull icons on your HUD -- and then move on to the next objective thereafter.
The leader of the military forces in the area is located nearby, and he'll be the next person (or object, or creature) to appear on your HUD, as a sky blue-colored icon. He's a bit far off, on the other end of Times Square, but he shouldn't be too difficult for you to find. There are still Hunters roaming around, as well as plenty of military infantry, tanks, and even helicopters. If you want to trash any of that stuff, go for it. Remember, though -- this won't ultimately all be necessary, as you'll soon find out that this is a flash-forward, eighteen days in advance of the actual beginning of the game. So what you're doing now has no real consequence. Nonetheless, when you arrive at the commander's location, begin to attack him, and Alex will consume him automatically, ending this introductory mission once and for all.

StatusThe thesis was presented on the 19 April, 2011
Approved by NCAA on the 8 July, 2011
Abstract– 0.45 Mb / in romanian
The thesis is written in English, contains introduction, 6 chapters, conclusions, 210 references, 200 pages of the basic text. The main results of the thesis are published in 45 scientific works. Keywords: topological universal algebra, variety, topological quasigroup, multiple identities, omogen isotope, resoluble space, medial and paramedial grupoid, fuzzy al- gebra.
The thesis is dedicated to the study: The in uence of the algebraic structures on the topological properties of the topological universal algebras. In particular, the topological algebraic systems and its applications in diverse fields is investigated. The purpose of the work resides in: mastering the studying methods of the topolo- gies on free algebras generated by pseudocompact and countable compact spaces; de- scribing the compact subsets of the free topological algebras and that of k-algebras; elaborating research methods regarding the topological quasigroups with multiple iden- tities; establishing a general theory on the decomposition of the topological groupoids with invertibility properties; solving the homomorphism problem for fuzzy algebras. Methodology of the research: the constructions and the methods of proofs are based on the notions of topological algebra, free algebra, variety, quasigroup with multiple identities, solvable space, fuzzy algebra.
The scientific innovation is determined by the solving of the following problems: there have been elaborated studying methods of topologies on free algebras gener- ated by pseudocompact and countable compact spaces; there have been determined the conditions for the continuous homomorphisms of the topological groupoids with continuous division to be open; there have been described the compact subsets of the free k-algebras; there have been established some topological properties, which are pre- served under the MK-equivalence relation; there have been introduced and analyzed the quasigroups with multiple identities; there has been elaborated a method of con- struction of the Haar measure on medial quasigroups; there has been elaborated a method of decomposition of special topological groupoids; there has been constructed a universal covering on topological E-algebras with continuous signature; are given a general solution of the homomorphism problem for fuzzy algebras.
The theoretical value of the work: there have been development of the general
theories, elaborated the new concepts, methods and constructions which contributed to
achieving goals and objectives of the research. The basic results of the work are new.
The practical value: the methodology applied, the concepts and methods developed
in work allowed to find the solution of concrete problems or some aspects of the prob-
lems formulated by A.I Mal'cev, L.S. Pontrjagin, M.M Choban. Mathematical tools
developed and applied led to solving problems in various areas of modern mathematics.
Implementation: The results from this work can be used in the theory of topological
universal algebras, of topological quasigroups, of automata, of fuzzy algebras, and in
elaborating optional courses.

Two things I received in the mail woohoo!!!
A while back, I mentioned I won Glamour Buzz's Name that Event Contest. Even though she didnt end up using the name i came up with, she was still very generous to send this package to me!
Like I mentioned before, her product reviews are quite in depth, so make sure you check her out!! =)
Here are the pictures!!
Sheena's so sweet and cute, she had these fun flower stickers and then she had the other Girl Talk bag, keeping it girlyy!! I love it!!
ps, the postage is so expensive! honestly, this is one of the reasons why Cdn bloggers should really be appreciated for their giveaways, shipping + prize items = BOTH expensive!!
My prize!! LOVE IT!!!
Lots of goodiessss!
There are some non-labeled stuff, so I'll swatch those first.
I am so going to do a review on the Smashbox Highlighter Quad. *can't wait*
The two at the bottom are blushes, interesting color, DEF swatching!! *see below*
And I'm really happy I got the CDN lotion, many nail salons use this brand on clients. SUPER HAPPY
Alright time to SWATCH!!
They looked like really strong colors at first, so I wasn't expecting much.
Swatches for the Lipsticks
Turned out they were really wearable! #3 and #4 seem to be the same, one slightly brighter. My mom was sneaking on me at this point and said "I'LL HAVE YOUR EXTRAS" hahahaaha
Swatch for the Blushes
I swatched it on 2 different base to test it out =)
Purple was kinda cool, don't know when ill wear it but I might think of something =)
The next up is..
the letter I received from my boyfriend all the way from HONG KONG!!!
*blurred content.. hehe b/c it's mushy
*cute chinese writing.. all slanted and kiddie
*the stitch stickers... OMG so cute, kinda looks like him
*he drew himself.. the monkey hehe
I'm so happppppppppy! i have the sweetest boyfriend ever. Honestly, SUCH a surprise. I really appreciate it and like I really do feel bad. Few months ago, I got mad at him because I was complaining, that there's no spark in the relationship. But I didnt take into consideration that when you're livig with someone, it's really hard to plan surprises. During this time that he was away, I really learned to appreciate. This letter is making my week =) about 10 days till he's back. Miss you lots baby!
That's it for now. I actually bought something off eBay again. i need to stop honestly. It's a skin analyzer. post it when i get it in the mail =)

We've said frequently that we distrust most (not all) cryptocurrencies. We've also made the point that governments don't go down without a fight and will not stand by while cryptocurrencies undermine their monopoly on money printing and monetary policy. Finally, we've also said that blockchain technology, what we call distributed ledger technology or DLT, has a bright future even if the cryptocurrencies built on DLT do not.
Now all three of those points have converged in a single development as reported in this article here. China has announced that they will develop national blockchain standards. No doubt those standards will include ease of government monitoring of message traffic on government approved blockchains.
The next step is for the Chinese central bank to create its own cryptocurrencies, which is the subject of this article. So, blockchain and cryptocurrencies may be here to stay but they will be built to state specifications and controlled by the state.
China already imposes massive censorship on internet traffic. (I know… because when I visit China, my twitter account, @JamesGRickards, goes dark and I cannot use it while I'm there). Now China will use the same tactics when it comes to cryptocurrencies.
Other nations cannot follow China's lead on internet censorship, but they will follow China's lead on cryptocurrencies. Last week the head of the IMF, Christine Lagarde, said the G20 governments should "fight fire with fire" by using government blockchains to monitor and control private blockchains.
It sounds like China and the IMF are on the same page. The rest of the world will not be far behind.

Directory of American History from 10,000 BC to the Present
The North American Continent, 10,000 BC
Representative Democracy began on the North American Continent with the Iroquois Confederation many centuries ago, not with the United States of America in the 18th century.
America is, in fact, too young a country to have invented democracy, which began in Greece 1000s of years ago and may have been present in other groups and communities even before that time.
While some may say, "America began on July 4th 1776", the land was inhabited with Indigenous Peoples dating back at least ten or twelve thousands years. Even a percentage of Bible scholars today feel that the Earth is over 6,000 years old and more likely 10-12 thousand years old. We have evidence of even earlier Indigenous Peoples in North America, but specific dates of their commnuties vary according to the researcher discussing them.
What we do know, is that the history of the land called America did not suddenly appear between 1500 - 1776. It should be traced back past the making of the first map of the New World (see the last entry below in this piece) and back through the Indigenous Peoples. That is the foundation upon which American History stands.
One might joke that since the Native Americans are descendants of Asian Peoples, particularly Northern Asians, then the History of America began in China. This is ironic in the early 21st century as America was borrowing large sums of money from China during a recession in 2008 to bail out its banking system in a subprime mortgage crisis. It would seem that American History traveled from China to China in a circle.
This is a history fo the USA/America in reverse order from current events back through time to the making of the first map of the Western World and further back to the Indigenous Peoples that came to North America from around the Subarctic lands around the northern globe around 10,000-12,000 years previously. Other "tribes" may have been present here previous to that, but their history is less clear.
The original Hub on American history was written to fulfill a request from the Hubber known as Prince Maak, asking What is the history of USA?
2009 - 2016: A New Nation and Massive Change
At the election of Barack Obama to the US Presidency in November of 2008, some said it was the answer to Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Dream, while others declared it was the beginning of a nightmare in which America would become at least a socialist and possibly a communist nation.
No matter the opinion, Mr. Obama was better prepared for and more involved in the planning of his move into Presidential responsibilities than any previous President Elect. People on both sides pointed at his organizing skills in awe. Under his proclaimed hope of Yes We Can, he began to shape a New Nation once again.
2001 - 2008: "To Hell in a Hand Basket", Some Said
The two terms of US President George W. Bush were controversial and turbulent years, beginning with assertions of rigged elections.
These years embroiled America in two wars: Afghanistan and Iraq and sink her deeper into issues associated with Big Oil, Global Warming, American Health Care, Wall Street, the Auto Industry, and various business scandals such as that of Enron and the reputation of Halliburton. 9/11 is a horror that was blamed on the Federal Administration by many. The disaster of Hurricane Katrina was blamed on them also, as well as on state and local officials.
There were big problems every year - they cannot all be listed here (click to see more). There were positives as well in the eyes of some, even though a few of them may seem negative to others; listed here: Accomplishments of President George W. Bush.
No Child Left Behind (NCLB) did some good, but was not as successful as hoped - it led to cheating at all levels and a responsibility dump on certain classroom teachers where a holistic approach was needed. The Sudan was crying out for help to stop the genocide in that nation and only the churches, doctors & nurses of the US went. The Middle East was still full of war and rumors of war -- A wall even went up. A wall began to rise on the boarder between the US and Mexico as well. It became difficult to cross the Canadian boarder. It became harder to get into the US anywhere for some, while the hunt for the terrorist Osama Bin Laden lasted for the entire 8 years.
At the end came the Banking Bailout by the Federal Government, and a call for a bailout of the Big 3 Auto Makers. Where were the economic and other problems to end? America was deep into recession by the 3rd Quarter of 2008, although a troops surge in Iraq seemed to have brought about some success by that point. The turmoil simply was unending. At least the gasoline prices finally came down from as high as over $4.50/gallon to under $2.00.

Patty, I think I've been on your hub for an hour! What a wealth of information. Thank you for taking the time to research and present this great article.
This is a nice hub! very informative and very interesting. you presented your blog very good. nicely done!
So comprehensive and well presented. Great unbiased reporting Patty. Terrific stuff..a good read to start out my New Year!
this is an amazing blog!
I am delighted by the content of history of America and above all with fantasting photos. I admire such a presentation.
Patty I too luv History. Thankyou this is Amazing.
Hi Patty,
Excellent work , I really enjoyed reading this hub.
Nice work Patty...I really enjoyed this Hub. This link for The US Electoral College and Election Reform does not work...would like to follow that link.
What Shirley said. :+)
I like your approach to USA history, Patty, and I, too, will come back to examine more of your links. Your photos are striking and marvelous. Thanks.
Yes history is one of my favorites. Especially the history of my people who are the Native Americans. Their culture and history has been destroyed and people ignore the fact that the Bative American people were here long before the white man and to us Christopher Colombus was a terrorist. Are you aware of all the things that were done to the Native American people in the name of religion. Thanks Patty Inglish for this Hub Page. I hope it helps to open some peoples eyes to the truth.
Patty great hub! I enjoy history a great deal and I love how you put it together i a nice package. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, Patty. Incredible hub. I love how your prolific writings can all be linked to form one kick-ass resource. Amazing and (of course - they always are) well done!
I love the way you have organized this. I'm going to have to come back with a cup of tea and more time to explore all these links.
Thank you from this history buff.
This explains a lot! Like how I wound up in this hand basket, and what my final destination is! Beautiful!
Patty, I love history and oh how you have captured so much in one Hub. This is one to add to my bookmarks.

To get you in the mood for a bit of romance, we're taking a look at the history of Valentine's Day and how you can make the most of this romantic occasion in the heart of Norfolk.
The origins of Valentine's Day lie in Ancient Rome. Once upon a time, the 15th February was a pagan fertility festival called Lupercalia. However when Pope Gelasius I came to power he rebranded it as a Christian festival and declared February 14th St Valentine's Day.
The St Valentine he was honouring is thought to have lived around 270 AD. The saint was said to have performed secret marriages against the wishes of the then emperor who preferred his soldiers to remain bachelors. When he was caught, St Valentine was quickly put to death, meeting his end on February 14th.
It wasn't until the 14th century that the feast day was linked with romantic love. English poet Geoffrey Chaucer wrote a poem in honour of the engagement of England's Richard II and Anne of Bohemia. In it, he associated Valentine's Day with mating birds and the royal engagement, starting an enduring tradition as he went.
Valentine's cards
The tradition of giving cards on Valentine's Day developed over a number of years. In the UK, Valentine's cards had become popular by the 18th century, however in the US, the tradition didn't become common until the 1850s. Today, according to the Greeting Card Association, around 25% of all cards are now sent on Valentine's Day.
Celebrating Valentine's Day
Whether you believe in Valentine's Day or not, it's impossible to deny that putting some dedicated time aside for your loved one is a great way to strengthen a relationship. Putting thought and effort into planning a treat shows your partner you really care, while spending some quality time together can be great for your relationship.
If you're thinking about whisking your other half off for a night away in the countryside this Valentine's Day, Norfolk is the perfect destination. Give us a call today on 01485-571765 to book your room or Click here to go to our Valentines page on our website.

Good Morning: It's Saturday again ...
Accuracy in Forecasting is what it is all about:
This all dates back to over 50 years of my work / analytics of Inflection Points.
I have written a large number of articles on my Methodology which is based on the early and clear Forecasting and Identification of all Inflection Points. I know of no other source of information and data that provides LEADING guidance with this consistent accuracy.
All my articles are based on "My Methodology" - You might consider spending some time reviewing the following URL: http://www.safehaven.com/article/27312/my-methodology
The Market for the Past Week
It was a good week again if you are Bearish and I / We (Clients) are definitely "Bearish." I continue to look for a Bounce / Mini-Rally that just does not materialize. If or When it ( a Mini-Rally ) does happen, it will "sink the ship" and all kinds of negatives will begin to be reported by Washington and other Capitals of the world. ( this of course is not going to take place until after the U.S. Elections and perhaps beyond ). Remember, I have said: the U.S. is in an (unannounced) Recession, that and much more will be "announced" AFTER the Election.
More on that tomorrow - exclusively in my "Client Weekly ( "Detailed" ) Forecast - Update."
Historically it was a strange week, but my Saturday Wrap really did not change anything.
The "NEWS" (as reported by the U.S. media - that I dislike SO MUCH) said: Obama is JOBS CREATER! There are more people working than when he took office in January 2009. That was reported Friday, and the Market lost all of Thursday's gains. There is a fox in the hen house and nobody seems to CARE! I have said for Week's that there would be a Release of News that would stimulate HIS re-election. There it is and the timing is perfect. The Honestly and Ethics, however just might be questioned???
For the week, the Dow and the Nasdaq lost over one percent. Hum!
My Valuation Forecast of not such good Earnings was endorsed and magnified this past week with all major Indexes losing - the DJI lost another 1.3% percent.
Europe and Asia are not doing any better.
Not a pretty picture...
My Inflection Point (I. P.) Count
Dropped to a recent Low of 40 last Friday and bounced up to 50 this Friday. I continue to be impressed with My New Proprietary Indicator.
You might want to stay in touch with My ( NEW ) Proprietary Indicator. Go to: http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=$INDU&p=W&yr=1&mn=6&dy=0&id=p79023347983&a=270034212
This might just be the best Indicator I have ever seen! "Plug In" - - You might be impressed too?

Just click on "Follower" and / or "Vote" in the upper right corner after entering the following URL: http://stockcharts.com/public/1616666
Repeating: I continue to find little to nothing to de-rail my position that the U.S. is already in an (unannounced) Recession -- and -- that a "Confirmed" Bearish Inflection Point is well over due.
Again -- The Market was NOT Up as Forecast!
Note: My Forecast for the General Market is Bearish, but REQUIRES "Confirmations" to be active. Until my "Confirmations" are in place (Kick-In) I cannot take further Bearish Positions.
Treasuries were Up a bit but and has looked anemic for nearly 5 months. That's Bearish! A Rally is in the making.
The U.S. Dollar was Up a bit and is looking to rally some more. Well my Rally now looks like it is Topping.
Oil (Crude) was Down over one percent again. It is coming lower for a short time and then a Rally.
Gold Turned Down again this past week by over one percent. I am Forecasting a continued Pull-Back. It looks like my Bearish Forecast is doing well.
Commodities (Comprehensive) were Down again. It does seem to be bottoming.
I hope you will permit me to answer your Questions and Thoughts.

The Kossak-class Frigate was a frigate manufactured by Ubrikkian Industries.[1]
Kossak-class frigates were armed with a dozen turbolaser batteries, a dozen twin light laser cannons, four twin medium ion cannons, and a pair of heavy tractor beam emitters. It was well equipped with both armor and shielding. It also carried a small hangar bay which supported a dozen starfighters and three shuttles.[1]
It was designed specifically for the Hutts, and was widely used to defend Hutt interests against pirates or rivals.[1]

The above picture isn't Don Hall. Well, it is. It's a Don Hall that makes and takes pictures of tea pots. I hope he doesn't mind me using his picture. I couldn't find one of The Angry White Guy that I wanted to use nor could I find any pictures from the event.
Last Saturday night, under the leadership of Anderson Lawfer, a group of Chicago artists gathered to roast the other white Don Hall. Sharing the dais with Andy and me were Dave Goss, Patrick Brennan, Rebecca Langguth, Ryan Palmer, Ele Matelan, Ryan Bolletino, Dada Xeningren(Noah Ginex) and Noah Simon as "the Jew."
It was a blast. In proper roast form, everyone takes a shot at everyone else before zeroing in on the guest of "honor." There should have been a swear job on stage. It was a wonderful blend of blue and intellect. Zings-a-plenty. My favorite one aimed at me was from Dave Goss, I believe... "Joe Janes does not let success go to his head. In fact, he doesn't let it come anywhere near him."
Kim Boler, from Bruised Orange Theater Company and an RvD acting alum, was in the audience and she mentioned how great the roast was. She was surprised by the level of creativity and just plain quality of the writing. More then what one would expect for a latenight roast at a fringe theater. She was right. Andy did a great job assembling this crew.
I got to go first which was cherry. None of my jokes had been used by anyone else and no one was tired of hearing about Don's testicles.
Here's my roast...
Thank you, Anderson Lawfer, the Kato Kaelin of the Strawdog Theater ensemble.
It is a pleasure and an honor to be sharing the stage with my esteemed colleagues. Especially after such awful things happened in the world yesterday. I woke up Friday morning to see images of horrifying devastation. People running and screaming. Buildings shaking. Noah Simon was power walking by my apartment wearing bike shorts, clearly displaying his jewishness.
Patrick Brennan, whose life's thesis is to prove being drunk can still be considered charming. Anderson Lawfer, who is the absolute counterpoint to that statement.
Dave Goss - should be operating the Tilt-A-Whirl at a county fair Dave has many tattoos. Made up of wolves and eagles. The kind of images usually reserved for fleece blankets sold at truck stops.
Elle. I love Elle. But she has told me outright that she won't find me attractive until I'm married with children and have a pet rabbit suitable for boiling.
Rebecca Langguth – graces this stage possessing the largest set of balls of anyone here tonight. I'm not talking courage. I mean, 20-30 pound testicles. Bigger than Don's. So large, she has to pull them up and strap them to her flat chest.
Ryan Palmer – something, something, something, faggot... I probably could have fleshed that joke out more.
Ryan Bolletino – received a bachelor of arts in theater from the University of Iowa in 1998 and he makes his living as a math teacher because if there were anything lower than waiter or temp on the rung of jobs for actors, it would be teaching in a Chicago high school. Right, Don? Don used to teach in Chicago public schools. He was let go when he was subbing a math class and tried to teach the students to count to two by showing them his balls. He lost count.
Dada Xenigren – Proving there's a fine line between art and just acting like a tard.
I first met Don almost 20 years ago at my audition for The Second City's Conservatory program. In an improv audition, you typically go in with a group and perform for one another and the adjudicators. I recall watching Don in a three-person scene. He was absolutely terrible. I couldn't tell you who else was in that scene, because they barely had the chance to speak. Don steamrolled, had a default "comic" bit of being super nervous and speaking a mile-a-minute. And I thought to myself, "Well, this guy's making the training center's job easy. He's clearly a "no."" Imagine my surprise to see him at my first class. Guess Second City needed a fat guy.
If you haven't noticed, Don talks a lot. Having a conversation with Don Hall is like talking to a radio. AM radio. He drones on with occasional bursts of Mexican music. He's Rush Limbaugh, but he's on our side. He's also smarter and not as humble.
Every year, Don gets a tattoo to commemorate his birthday. He has been doing this for the past four years. (Have Don show them – FYI, Don gets simple black print tattoos, mainly of quotes he finds inspiring. For example, his last one is "Buy the ticket, take the ride.") At this rate, he will look like the guy from Memento by the time he is 55.
I have glimpsed into the future. These are the tattoos he'll be getting over the years to come…
Age 46 – "Still Winning"
Age 50 – "Maybe This Isn't Such A Good Idea"
Age 60 – "Fuck This Shit"
Age 70 – "I Forget"
Age 80 – "Stroke Victim"
Age 85 – He'll have his address tattooed to his forehead in case he wanders off
When he turns 90, the only space left for a tattoo will be his taint. His tattoo that year will be the last gasp of Angry White Guy mode and just say "Fuck Capitalism." Unfortunately, his taint will be so shriveled up, it will look like a Nike swoosh.
I have done several shows with Don Hall. There's that old theatrical adage that one should never perform with animals or children because they're too adorable and pull focus. I would add Don Hall to that list. Not because he's adorable, but because like animals and children, he won't know his lines or blocking and will eventually poop himself.
Don Hall should never perform with animals or children because he will eventually try to fuck them. Fuck them and call it "dating."
Everyone here has seen Don's big balls. If you haven't, the night is young. Here's the thing, it's an optical illusion. Anyone's balls would look really big if they have an elfin-sized penis. When he tea bags a person, it's more like dropping two Mentos into a five-gallon drum.
What I admire about Don is his ability to take an idea, embrace it and run with it full steam and with wild abandon, regardless of how horrible that idea is. Ideas such as nearly everything he's ever directed and marriage.
Don Hall would give you the shirt off his back, regardless of the fact it's not your size, you would never wear something like that, it smells like cigarettes and you don't need a shirt.
Don, you are the Kirk to my Spock, the Captain to my Tennille, and the Teddy Roosevelt to my big stick.
You are my best human friend and you are the wind beneath my wings and, by that, I mean you fart a lot. A lot.

The Galapagos has 7 large islands and 12 smaller islands, for a total of 19 islands.
During our visit we have visited 5 of them (Baltra, Santa cruise, north Seymour, Bartolome, Santa Fe) and it has been an amazing experience.
Santa Fe is the Island known for sea lions, and is one of the best places in the entire Galapagos to swim with the sea lions. The navigation to the island was 2 hours and we had both overland and underwater activities planned for us once we arrived.
The terrain on Santa Fe was very beautiful, and we saw many birds, iguanas, and sea lions. While snorkeling we saw huge schools of colorful fish, as well as a sea turtle!

Lakeside is in the process of identifying intersections where we might install directional signs to our campus. It's our hope that by placing these signs at strategic points those looking for our campus will be able to find us with greater ease and perhaps those previously unaware of our presence will become aware. Of course, our desire is that these signs will be one way, among many, that we can reach our community with the Good news of Jesus Christ.
I was recently asked if we were one of those churches who constantly saw SIGNS of Christ's return in every event. My answer was simple, "No, not in every event. But there are specific signs that can not and should not be ignored." For those of us, who believe and trust Christ's promise that He would return for us, these specific signs give us hope and encouragement and are an integral part of who we are in Him.
In general, signs come in all shapes, sizes and types. Some give us direction and encourage us to proceed while others caution us to stop and warn of the consequences of continuing in the direction we are headed. The same may be said of the SIGNS of our time identified through God's Word. Unfortunately, many of us become so focused on accomplishing our daily rigors we never look up or around and we miss them. And if we do see them it's often no more than awareness and not really a comprehension of the message that's being conveyed. In that sense, I guess, we're no different than those in Jesus' day.
One day Jesus was confronted by the Pharisees who asked Him to show them a sign from heaven. Here was Jesus' response in Matthew 16:2-3…
But He replied to them, "When it is evening, you say, 'it will be fair weather, for the sky is red.' "And in the morning, 'There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.' Do you know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times?
The signs of Jesus' return are abundant today. Perhaps the greatest though is the exodus away from church. A recent issue of Faith and Family Values indicated that the importance of religion by generation is in decline. When asked "How important would you say religion is in your life?" the percentage who answered "very important" was:
Greatest Generation (-1928) 75%
Silent Generation (1928 – 1945) 67%
Boomer Generation (1946 – 1964) 60%
Generation X (1965 – 1980) 52%
Millennial Generation (1981 – ) 40%
I believe it's important that we ask, "Why is this?" I'm sure we could list a number of reasons beginning with the decline of importance in the previous generation and the inherent affect. But, that still doesn't answer the question, "Why". Perhaps the answer is already found in Paul's second letter the young preacher, Timothy, in 2 Timothy 4:3-4:
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.
The SIGNS tell us we are experiencing this today.
Listen, it may surprise you but I'm actually not a fan of "religion" either. I am however, a major fan of my relationship with Jesus Christ. So, how do we respond to the SIGNS today? Do we give up? Do we say, "Oh well, there's nothing we can do because it's written in the SIGNS"? NO! Because the SIGNS also tell us that we need to be urgent in the proclamation of the LIFE-GIVING message. Bottom line… every time we see a sign it brings us to the point of decision.
Listen to what Paul continued to write to Timothy in 2 Timothy 4:5…
But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
Do I see Christ's soon return in every event today? No. But I see the signs sufficiently to tell me that time is short, the need is great and soon the opportunity to be reconciled to God through Jesus Christ will be past.
Perhaps you're someone who has missed those signs up until now. They haven't meant much to you up to this point but now you've begun to look around and what you see concerns you. If so, allow me to make a suggestion…
First, please understand that being "religious" will not make you "righteous" before God. So, rather than being religious make sure that you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. By that I mean that there is a point in your life where you have asked forgiveness for your sins and invited Christ into your heart. This is more than just believing that He exists, this is surrendering your life to Him and living for Him.
And second, if you have really and truly made that commitment then Jesus intends that you grow in and through Him. To do this you must be involved in a church based on the principles of God's Word. Involvement in a sound study group will help you understand and experience your new found freedom in Christ.
Perhaps you're not ready to commitment yet… you've got more questions. That's okay, I understand, questions are good. If that's you, would you send those questions to me and allow me to help you in your journey? Just e-mail me at email@example.com and I will be glad to help.
I hope to see you at Lakeside soon!!
Pastor Larry

[13:28] {dino} dptl, losing it here as well
01[13:28] {@Threei} really like how AAPL moves
[13:28] {dptl} ?
[13:28] {dino} trading platform hiccups
06[13:28] * @Threei sends dino and dptl his shrink business cards
[13:28] {dptl} ye, something is wrong
[13:29] {dino} 3x today, odd
01[13:29] {@Threei} don't you guys use different platforms?
[13:29] {dino} yes
[13:29] {dptl} man....lol
01[13:29] {@Threei} hehe
[13:30] {Alexs} IWM trail .11?
01[13:30] {@Threei} I think so
01[13:31] {@Threei} touched 2 cents from 1:1
01[13:31] {@Threei} what a weird headline: AAPL shares lose their value in stock-split
01[13:33] {@Threei} 1:1
01[13:41] {@Threei} Short Setup: APPL .60 break hl
01[13:41] {@Threei} If holds .70
[13:50] {dptl} half out
01[13:55] {@Threei} High praise from Down Under: Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott says Stephen Harper has been a beacon to centre-right parties around the world and he calls him "an exemplar of a contemporary, centre-right prime minister."
[13:57] {dino} cov hub.b .92, +.50
[13:58] {Alexs} is Harper really a conservative?
01[13:58] {@Threei} in Canada terms, of course
[13:59] {dptl} stop to .91 dal
01[14:01] {@Threei} frikin IWM
01[14:01] {@Threei} rinse
01[14:02] {@Threei} keep in mind that Canada's whole political specter is more to the left that US's
01[14:03] {@Threei} so our right might look moderate to you
[14:04] {Alexs} that's sad
[14:04] {troub} t-party kind of thing there?
01[14:05] {@Threei} nah, not even close
[14:05] {troub} Lucky you
01[14:06] {@Threei} but it works... after 20+ years of relentless move tio the left, he slowly but surely reworks things, creating right-of-center approach, at least fiscally
01[14:07] {@Threei} sure thing, left wing hates him passionately
01[14:07] {@Threei} and blames him in everything under the sun
01[14:07] {@Threei} but the guy is a freight train on a slow speed
01[14:07] {@Threei} slow but unstoppable
[14:08] {Alexs} what is his rating in the country?
01[14:10] {@Threei} latest I saw was 32%
[14:11] {dptl} out some more dal .74
[14:11] {Alexs} so the stop will be next election...
01[14:12] {@Threei} it's normal for ruling party ratings to drop between elections
01[14:13] {@Threei} and our system is a bit different... vote split between left paries means 35% is a sure win, over 40% is majority
01[14:13] {@Threei} no news for this market drop
[14:14] {Alexs} market drop is the news
01[14:14] {@Threei} a bit too sharp to be technical...
[14:15] {dptl} its a nice drop :)
[14:15] {troub} how many parties are there? All parties national or regional?
01[14:15] {@Threei} (US) President Obama to unveil plan to cap payments of federal student loans at 10% of monthly income - pressThe order will cover five million students who borrowed before October 2007 or those who have not borrowed since October 2011 The move would cost the government $58 billion over 10 years and raise $72 billion through a new tax on high-income earners
01[14:16] {@Threei} 3 major ones,,, Tory, NDP and LIberal
01[14:16] {@Threei} 2 smaller, Quebecua ans Green
[14:16] {nemo} how are they defining "high-income"
[14:17] {dino} in obummers view $50k i'd guess
01[14:17] {@Threei} lol
01[14:17] {@Threei} Short Setup: AAPL .60 break
01[14:17] {@Threei} If holds .70
[14:17] {dino} these kids need to stop borrowing for those liberal arts degrees
[14:18] {nemo} all it will do is drive up the cost of an education
[14:18] {Alexs} I think in a couple years anyone who has a job will be high-income earner
[14:19] {dino} lol
01[14:19] {@Threei} 1:1
01[14:19] {@Threei} then anyone with food stamps?
[14:19] {nathan} 1:1 thx vad

[14:29] {Alexs} you still keep it?
01[14:29] {@Threei} no
01[14:29] {@Threei} first day trading it, treating it with double care
01[14:34] {@Threei} Short Setup: AAPL .45 break
01[14:34] {@Threei} If holds .55
01[14:35] {@Threei} trail to .51
01[14:35] {@Threei} market probably bounces now
01[14:36] {@Threei} feels like downside is still there but close to eod
01[14:36] {@Threei} closer
01[14:41] {@Threei} Memorable Stephen Harper Pictures under the article at http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2014/04/25/conservative-party-poll-harper-trudeau-liberal_n_5212640.html

01[14:50] {@Threei} If holds .60
01[14:54] {@Threei} btw, don't tell ese I like Harper... he will suffocate me violently, burn my body, spread ashes over the Pacific and probably try to drain Pacific after that
01[14:54] {@Threei} 1:1
01[14:54] {@Threei} and if he does, where will dp fish
[14:55] {dptl} and all this with music ...lol
[14:55] {cosmo} may your ashes soak up some of that radiation
01[14:55] {@Threei} oh yeah, drumming victoriously
[14:55] {dptl} lol
01[14:58] {@Threei} upon reading this, I think new president has bipolar disorder: http://time.com/2848477/exclusive-ukraines-president-seeks-understanding-with-russia/
01[15:09] {@Threei} 1:2
[15:11] {dino} igt
[15:15] {Alexs} why Vad, in this interview he sounds reasonable?
01[15:16] {@Threei} well... on one hand "we have to work with Russi" and on another, "I don't care what Putin thinks and Russia needs to be punished"?
01[15:16] {@Threei} how doesa that work together
[15:16] {Alexs} no problem, for me
01[15:17] {@Threei} well... main question is, whether it's a problem for Putin :)
[15:17] {Alexs} I hate you but I have to work with you, so?
01[15:17] {@Threei} we will see very soon
[15:18] {Alexs} For Putin it's nothing new that somebody hates him
[15:18] {Alexs} He doesn't care as long they do what he wants
01[15:19] {@Threei} so if he wants Poroshenko to back off and let two republics become indeoendent, what's Poroshenko to do?
01[15:19] {@Threei} or, not to sign up EU agreement?
[15:20] {Alexs} I don't think that it's what Putin needs
01[15:20] {@Threei} that's what he says
01[15:20] {@Threei} on both counts
[15:21] {dino} igt hl s .34
[15:23] {Alexs} he's got Crimea, now he's just keeping pressure, so when he give up everybody will be happy and it will be new status quo
01[15:24] {@Threei} nemo... pssst...
01[15:24] {@Threei} we have optimist among us
01[15:25] {@Threei} come on IWM, last push
01[15:25] {@Threei} careful alex... nemo hunts optimists with rocket launcher, loaded with silver-plated rockets
[15:26] {Alexs} and you know Putin's rally interested that Crimea is a disputed territory, it's a main obstacle for Ukraine to get to NATO
[15:27] {Alexs} and to EU as well
01[15:28] {@Threei} AAPL two-sided
