Readiness: The New Measure of Health
Oura is designed to help maximize your readiness – your ability to perform at your best both mentally and physically. To keep up with your performance and well-being, it's important to understand how your body responds to and recovers from the demands of your daily life.
The readiness score
The readiness score is a measure designed to help you identify days that are ideal for challenging yourself, and those that are better for taking it easy. The score is generated using all of the sensor data, physiological signals, sleep and activity patterns that are monitored by the Oura ring.
The readiness score is affected by several contributors, which are displayed in the readiness view. Your daily readiness stats help you evaluate how well your sleep, activity and recovery are in balance.
How to interpret your readiness score
The readiness score ranges from 0-100. Here's what it tells about your recovery status:
85 and over Excellent, you're ready for action
70-84 Good, you've recovered well enough
60-69 Pay attention, you're not fully recovered
Under 60 Take action to rest and recharge

FALL: China: South of the Clouds
Kunming by Night
Justin M McHenry,FALL: China: South of the Clouds
The spring city earns its name with the clear skies and warm weather. Crowds gather to watch the seagulls fly in from Siberia for the warmer weather during the day. But by night, the city comes alive in a different way. Once empty sidewalks and street corners turn into street vendors and small restaurants take […]

Cindy AKA Futura on the Cricut MB, PM'd me and told me she was out at garage sales and said she seen something that made her think of me and needed my address. Well today I received an awesome package!!!! I couldn't believe my eyes when I unwrapped each stamp. I love house mouse and these are some of their earlier stamps. I was even more amazed that out of all the HM Stamps I already have, I had none of these!! I can't wait to use them!! But then I'm always scared of messing them up lol But Cindy made the best card also! The picture just doesn't do it justice. The colors are so vivid and the butterfly looks like it could just fly off the page! Thank you so much Cindy for your kindness and for thinking of me. This was so sweet of you and I will never be able to thank you enough!!! It couldn't have come at a better time!!!!
Thank you!!

Babcock secures ôÈ2.6bn MoD contract
Babcock, which manages Her Majesty's Naval Bases at Devonport and Clyde, has been awarded a multibillion-pound contract to repair and maintain the Royal Navy's warships and submarines.
The group was awarded the £2.6bn contract by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) along with BAE Systems, which manages Portsmouth Naval Base and secured a £600m contract.
The agreement has safeguarded 4,000 jobs at Devonport Naval Base, with 1,500 and 2,000 at Clyde and Portsmouth respectively.
Up to £350m in taxpayers money is also expected to be saved as a result of the deal, which brings five existing contracts under one framework.
"This huge investment in our naval bases will directly sustain more than 7,500 jobs and skills across the UK and ensure that the Royal Navy's fleet of 56 warships and submarines are in the best possible condition and available for operations," said defence minister Michael Fallon.
"Following the £3.5bn Scout armoured vehicle contract, this is the second biggest defence contract placed by this government and reflects our commitment to giving our armed forces what they need to keep Britain safe."
Bernard Gray, MoD's chief of defence materiel, added: "These contracts are another example of how MoD is delivering on its major procurement programmes and finding both the right deal for the armed forces and driving down costs.
"The three naval bases in the UK play a vital role in the defence of this country and in the economic well-being of the regions in which they are located."

Are you looking to stay up to date with the latest .NET tools? Whether you are a skilled consultant or looking for new .NET solutions for your company, these 5 innovative .NET solutions from Microsoft will keep you at the forefront of the latest innovations in program and application development.
We at Maxnet have been very passionate about the analyst segment of workforce for past several years and below we have listed the BI skills needed for companies in the retail industry.
#1. New Look for .NET Reference Source:
Microsoft Application Development provides a new look to the .NET Reference Source and has new features, offering an enhancement to the browsing experience. Users are now able to browse the .NET framework code in a way that is much like Visual Studio. This was initially created for use internally, but was bundled because of its extreme usefulness.
Offline browsing is also possible because the reference source can be downloaded as a zip file, including solution and project files, and it can be opened in Visual Studio for browsing. There is even an extension for Visual Studio called Ref12 that uses the F12 button to allow users to jump to an online browser to find symbols that are a part of the .NET Reference Source.
#2. Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Upgrades:
Microsoft SQL Server 2014 now uses the cloud seamlessly to simplify its use with data warehousing. It works with Windows Azure to provide backup and disaster recovery, making their data centers valuable for use with the program, but allowing people to use their abilities on-site. It also uses Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2 to allow users to scale projects both on their own equipment and virtually.
#3. Get More in Life by Enhancing your Microsoft skills:
Microsoft Application Development Skills provide benefits for people personally, in business, and also benefits businesses themselves. Individually, people can use this to get the most out of the tools, easily see how to use them to be successful, and learn ways to incorporate the application platform. It also provides benefits to people as they jump to higher positions or make a career change, earn recognition for delivering amazing results and innovation, and with this comes a more comfortable lifestyle.
#4. Professional Skills &Services:
Businesses see benefit in Microsoft technology because of the flexibility in filling their needs affordably and making quick changes as those needs evolve to hybrid or cloud driven models, as well as keeping their knowledge and abilities up-to-date as technology moves forward.
What Are the Most In-Demand Tech Skills for 2014? & Industry Trends for which types of skills will you be hiring in the next twelve months?
Application Development is seen as a hard to fill niche in the IT sector with 20% of businesses looking to fill these positions in the future according to a Computerworld Forecast Survey. This means that people with this knowledge background may become scarce and that training people in this area early can help businesses to be a step ahead.
#5. Microsoft Cloud Application Development tool:
Microsoft WebMatrix 3 is a free web development tool that is connected to the cloud and provides access to easily make changes to Windows Azure websites. Each website has its own icon, making it easy to find them, and accessing sites remotely is as simple as those on a local network. This program uses all of the popular languages and makes mobile web development easy and accurate with emulators for all devices. It is designed to work with open source apps, makes publishing websites as simple as pressing a button, and gives you a mirror image of that site in Windows Azure. WebMatrix also provides source control with Git and TFS with useful features for beginners to professionals.
Microsoft's new technologies can help meet the needs of both skilled .NET consultants and those looking for .NET for their staff augmentation. Staying ahead, means knowing what your needs are and how to fulfill them in the most valuable way.

Build your MVP with skygate
Why do you need an MVP?
If you're a startup founder no doubt you dream big. Plan to start a new Facebook or Google with plenty of amazing features and functionalities that will change the world and improve the lives of millions. Unfortunately, unless you're a millionaire, that's not the way to kick off.
The first thing you need is a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) – a working product but with reduced set of features. This is the least time- and money-consuming way of validating your idea and testing if your product is simply something people will love to use (and finally pay for).
With an MVP you can:
✓ Find early adopters and get feedback.
✓ Validate the idea. Learn quickly what users really want and what changes you need to apply to make your product successful.
✓ Present the prototype to investors/angels.
✓ Reduce the risk of your startup's failure - how to do it you will read in this blog post!
When you have a working MVP it is much easier to obtain product/market fit, find investment to scale your business and build your own dream team.
Why you should hire an external team
Own team is expensive. Salaries, benefits, training, proper workplace – they all generate unnecessary on this stage monthly costs, before the startup starts to generate any revenue.
On this stage it is hard to gather a quality team. First because you need to reduce costs so can't afford top notch specialists, second because the unknown startup is not the most attractive workplace for talented designers and devs.
External team of startup specialists have appropriate know-how and will help you avoid common mistakes. In skygate we've got experience with startups from the whole world e.g. US, Ireland, UK, Germany in the financial, real estate, education, artistic, and food sector.
What skygate can do for you
We're your partner in growth from the first MVP - be it simple landing page or a Python/PHP application (we use Django, Symfony and AngularJS/React frameworks). We will help you focus on the core features, reduce complexity of your product and build it as simple as possible, so you won't burn money on excessive hours of development.
We build startups based on 3 integral parts: strategy, design and development. You won't need to manoeuvre between different freelancers to get things done. We'll shoulder all responsibility for the working MVP, so you'll be able to focus on growing your business only.

ANN ARBOR – Authors and illustrators are uniting to help booksellers across the country during the return of the Bank on Booksellers Piggy Bank Auction. The auction will take place online with nationwide bidding beginning on Sunday, September 9 and closing at 8:00 pm on Saturday, September 15.
In 2016, the team at Parnassus Books came together to create a unique way to support one of their fellow employees who had been diagnosed with a serious illness. The Parnassus employees used their connections to the book industry to recruit a host of celebrity piggy bank decorators for the first Bank on Booksellers. The proceeds were used to help booksellers across the country.
"Not every bookseller facing a serious medical situation can get a whole bunch of pigs together to help them out, but every bookseller has the Binc Foundation," said Parnassus co-owner and Binc Ambassador Ann Patchett.
This year, the Book Industry Charitable (Binc) Foundation is hoping to follow up on the 2016 Bank on Booksellers auction. The goal is to raise $25,000 according to Binc Executive Director Pam French.
"The response to the first Bank on Booksellers was stunning," French said. "We were overwhelmed at the support the auction received from the book industry, celebrities and everyone who bid. We hope the 2018 Bank on Booksellers will be just as great an opportunity for the people who care about booksellers to show their love."
Binc is still looking for celebrities to sign up to decorate a piggy bank which will be auctioned off to support the bookseller's safety net. Anyone interested in signing up to decorate a pig for the auction or who would like to connect us with an illustrator or celebrity should contact Binc at email@example.com.
"We've had a number of generous authors and illustrators volunteer their time to decorate piggy banks, but there are plenty of mini-masterpieces left to be painted," French said. "We're hoping our friends at bookstores across the country will help us reach more pig-decorators."
Binc is incredibly grateful to the authors who make up their roster of piggy bank creators. The current list of participating authors includes:

Never miss out on any big news or announcements by signing up for Emilygrene Newsletter today!
Are you someone who has no idea what a "smart home" is? Hey, we get it. Some of these new devices are complicated. But EG Home Theater is here to help. Our designers love finding the perfect home theater experience to bring your living room to life with full surround sound. But what's even more exciting is when we get to show homeowners how easy it actually is to turn your home theater into an cool smart home for simpler, more energy efficient days.
Our friends at The Seattle Times know a thing or two about which devices are perfect to introduce any homeowner to smart technology without a user manual. With many of these items available online, speak with an EG Home Theater designer to learn which is best for your home and how to integrate them into other devices found in our comprehensive EG Home Theater catalogue (download by clicking here). Read on to learn more, let us know what you think in the comments, and share this article with your family and friends on social media to help spread the word about energy efficiency.
The following is an excerpt from "Best Smart Home Tech For Newbies" originally published by The Seattle Times. For the complete article, visit www.seattletimes.com.
Small "smart" home devices are great gifts — whether for a recent grad who wants some cool tech, or as a way to introduce an older parent to the trend.
Here are four smart home gadgets to consider at a range of prices.
Amazon Echo Dot (2nd Generation)
CNET rating: 4.5 stars out of 5 (outstanding)
The good: The second-gen, mini-size Echo Dot speaker is just as smart as the full-size Echo at half the cost. It boasts more skills and third-party integrations than its rival, the Google Home Mini, and it also includes an aux-out jack for quick, direct connections with external audio setups, which the Home Mini lacks.
The bad: The Home Mini offers noticeably better sound quality out of the box, and Google Assistant is better at pulling from the internet to answer a wide variety of questions.
The bottom line: The Echo Dot takes Amazon's popular smart home speaker and wraps it in an ultra-affordable package — but the Google Home Mini is a very worthy competitor. A third-generation Echo Dot is also now available with better looks.
Apple HomePod
CNET rating: 3.5 stars out of 5 (very good)
The good: The HomePod has excellent bass and consistently superior sound quality across a wide variety of music genres. The speaker is easy to set up and Siri can hear you from across a room.
The bad: You're stuck with Apple-only audio services when using voice commands and the HomePod only works on iOS. Siri and HomeKit lack the polish and device compatibility of Alexa and Google Assistant.
The bottom line: Apple's HomePod doesn't match the features offered on Alexa and Google Assistant speakers. But if you're an iPhone user who prizes sound quality above all, you should seriously consider this speaker.
Eufy Smart Plug Mini
CNET rating: 3.5 stars out of 5 (very good)
The good: The Smart Plug Mini is a smart, affordable space-saver with a solid mix of in-app features. It works with both Alexa and the Google Assistant.
The bad: It doesn't work with HomeKit and it doesn't include a side USB charging port.
The bottom line: With plenty of options for scheduling and energy monitoring, Eufy's Smart Plug Mini is a great addition to any Google or Alexa smart home.
Sengled Element Color Plus Starter Kit
CNET rating: 3.5 stars out of 5 (very good)
The good: Sengled's newest color-changing smart bulbs are more budget-friendly than the competition, and they offer full compatibility with Alexa and Google Assistant. The app tracks the real-time power draw of each bulb at each setting, which is a nice touch.
The bad: Though accurate, the colors aren't as bright as you'll get with Lifx or Hue, and the app is a bit clunkier to use, too. You can't use the bulbs with IFTTT or Apple HomeKit, either.
The bottom line: These aren't the best color-changing bulbs that we've tested, but they offer very decent value, making them a good budget pick.

The lawyer of Donald Trump and former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, wants to have ruled out collusion between the campaign team of President of the US and Russia never. "I never said that there was no collusion between the campaign, or people in the campaign [and Russia]," claimed Giuliani on Wednesday in the U.S. news channel CNN. He had only said that Trump himself had not been involved. And even the President himself did not claim, no one from his campaign team had agreed secretly with the Russians, but only that he himself would not have done this.
Donald Trump wrote dozens of times: "no collusion"
CNN host Chris Cuomo was visibly taken aback, seemed to be able to hardly believe what had been told Guiliani in the heated Interview, and objected to this vehemently: Both the lawyer as well as Trump would have denied any collusion with the Russians, said Cuomo.
Indeed, Trump has claimed dozens of times via Twitter that there had been "no collusion" and the accusations as a "total fraud" and a "witch-hunt" means:
Russia started their anti-US campaign in 2014, long before I announced that I would run for President. The results of the election were not impacted. The Trump campaign did nothing wrong – no collusion!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 16, 2018
"[…] The Trump campaign has done nothing wrong. No collusion!"
Russian Collusion with the Trump Campaign, one of the most successful in history, is a TOTAL HOAX. The Democrats paid for the phony and discredited Dossier, which was, along with Comey, McCabe, Strzok and his lover, the lovely Lisa Page, used to begin the Witch Hunt. Immoral!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 1, 2018
"Russian, in agreement with the Trump campaign, one of the most successful in history, is a TOTAL FRAUD. […] Witch-hunt. Shameful!"
"Democrats can't find a Smocking Gun tying the Trump campaign to Russia after James Comey's testimony. No Smocking Gun…No Collusion." @FoxNews That's because there was NO COLLUSION. So now the Dems go to a simple private transaction, the wrongly call it a campaign contribution,…
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 10, 2018
"Democrats no impact can find evidence that connects the Trump campaign with Russia […]. No shock proof … No collusion." @FoxNews This is due to the fact that there was NO COLLUSION."
And in December 2017, Trump said to reporters outside the White house, that there was "absolutely no collusion, that's been proved".
Also Guiliani had represented this Position to date. Yet last July he had been Fox-News-editor Guy Benson asked: "Regardless of whether collusion would be a crime, is it still your Position and that of your clients, that there was no collusion of any kind with the Russians on behalf of the Trump campaign?"
"Correct," said Giuliani at the time.
After the Interview, a storm broke on Twitter, as the Washington Post reported. "Giuliani added that trump's campaign has made secret agreements? […] This was a further attempt by the Trump-Administration, their agreements-denials to mitigate?"
a number of Twitter commentators have accused the lawyer, according to the report to run once again the "goalpost-shifting", described by the "Washington Post"journalist Aaron Blake as a "continuous dilution of previous denials, and raising the Standards for what would constitute an actual wrongdoing".
Guiliani had earlier already repeatedly declared, collusion, were no crime.
CNN presenter Don Lemon commented on the statements of the former New York mayor, in his directly to the Interview and the subsequent broadcast with the words:
"man, that Rudy Giuliani has about myself tonight-Giulianied."
sources: Washington Post, CNN, "The Hill"
NBC's "Meet the Press"
Trumps attorney Giuliani stunned at the TV: "truth is truth"
Donald trump's attorney, Rudolph Giuliani, has sets a remarkable TV appearance. In it, he claimed in the spirit of the U.S. President: "the truth is the truth." The Moderator, after reacted amazed and hooked.

We´ll be getting the Canadian Employment Change release figure along with the US Nonfarm Payroll Report. Since 95% of the market is paying attention to the NFP, I'd recommend that we do the same. If you are planning to trade USDCAD, then make sure there is no conflict and if we are lucky, with both currencies going in the same direction, you could see plenty of market moves…
8:30am (NY Time) CAD Employment Change Forecast 5.7K Previous 15.3K
The Trade Plan
I´ll also pay close attention to the unemployment rate, which is expected at 6.9%. As long as this number does not conflict with the Employment Changes, we should follow the direction of the news release. If we get a conflict, such as better Employment Changes but higher Unemployment Rate, then we´ll need to look at the context of the market before taking the trade.
I´ll be looking to trade this release using my after-news Retracement Method. To find out more about my trading system, read: http://www.currencynewstrading.com/how-to-get-started-with-news-trading/
I'd recommend to use the Recommended Pairs from above as they are based on my CSM, which should provide the best combination of currency pairs to trade based on better/worse news… of course, you can also trade the default pair: USDCAD.
Outlook Score Outlook score is derived from market sentiment, focus, and economic indicators for the currency. It represents the long-term trend of the currency and its market perception. In short, a strong Outlook Score means more long-term demand for the currency, and a weak Outlook Score is the opposite.
DEFINITION "Measures the change in number of employed people during the previous month. A rising trend has a positive effect on the nation´s currency. Job creation is an important indicator of economic health because consumer spending, which is highly correlated with labor conditions, makes up a large portion of GDP. This report is the first of the month that relates to labor conditions, making it susceptible to big surprises."

Tolosa Winery Pinot Gris 2007
Winemaker's Notes:
2007 Estate Grown TOLOSA Pinot GrisVarietal Composition:100% Edna Ranch Pinot GrisAppellation:Edna ValleyProduction: 400 casesVineyard InformationWe have a couple of areas in our vineyard with Pinot Gris planted. This one is from a hillside site with a sandy and rocky soil, which limited yield this year to a very low 2.1 tons per acre. The clone is from Colmar, an Alsatian selection. The clusters are small-berried and make for an intense wine. Pinot Gris is a true Pinot and it is fragile and prone to problems on the vine. Luckily we did not have any such issues this year. The weather was mild and dry throughout and the vines were left in peace to gradually ripen.Winemaking & Cellar InformationWhile the fruit is a beautiful light purple and gold the wine should be as white as possible. This makes gentle pressing a necessity. This wine can also be bitter and pick up undesirable color if pressed hard so we take particular care with it. The fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a cool temperature and it is aged on its yeast lees until bottling. Our goal is to make a crisp wine in an Italianate style. We are not attempting the heavy Alsatian style. It is a wonderful wine while young, but we have noticed that it improves with a year or two of bottle age as long as it is kept cool and dark.Analytical InformationAlcohol:14.2%T.A.:6.00 g/LpH:3.2Brix at Harvest28.3Tasting Notes The wine has a very pale platinum color. There is that particular and pleasing aroma that is both earthy and candied at once. It has lime and lemon notes as well as a haunting violet-like tone. There are underlying aromas of coriander and something reminiscent of pie crust. The mouth is very crisp and refreshing. It almost demands to be drunk with raw oysters.
Tolosa Winery is a solar, sustainable estate winery located in the San Luis Obispo, on the central coast of California. We specialize in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, which thrive in cooler climates.

Periods – you gotta love 'em! Well, maybe not love them. But there must be some good things that come about from having your period, right?
One Reddit user was determined to get an answer to this, so they posted a question online: "what is your favorite thing about your period?"
And as you can probably imagine, the answer turned out to be not a whole darn lot.
But even though most of the answers weren't in praise of Aunt Flow, they did help to show that periods aren't all bad. And more importantly, that they shouldn't be considered a taboo topic.
Period shaming is a huge problem in our society. From being told as a young girl to "hide" your period, to having your negative emotions attributed to PMS, periods are constantly surrounded by a cloud of stigma.
But the fact is, menstruation is a part of life. It's a completely normal process that affects almost half of the world's population. And whether society likes it or not, it's here to stay.
So instead of feeling ashamed or embarrassed about periods, why not try to focus on the good?
Here's what some Reddit users had to say about why they love their periods:
For many, the only good thing about getting their period is that it means they don't have a human growing inside of them.
Others said they like their periods because it means that their bodies are in great working condition.
Some touched on the fact that their periods make them feel more connected and in tune with their bodies.
Others commented on the fact that it gives them an excuse to eat all the junk food they please (but honestly, do you really need an excuse for that?!)
One women even pointed out that her period makes her feel more energetic – if only she'd share her secret!
A few mentioned that they like how their partners treat them like royalty during that special week.
And of course, many women only like one thing about their period…
And that's okay! Because whether you like your period or whether you bloody hate it, the most important thing to remember is that you don't have to be ashamed of it.

Before the below post about artistic stuff, a reminder that today (Saturday) is the Occupation Party at Times Square, details here:http://www.theoccupationparty.com/ It sounds fabulous. I plan to be there. Was delighted that pure public pressure from people, politicians, artists, writers and of course the occupiers themselves cleaning all night long, kept Zuccotti Park from being 'cleansed' on Friday. Now my BCC students still have to go down and interview them. That is good.
In other news, the Prelude Festival was happening the last few days at Martin Segal Center. In retrospect, I wish the work, any of it, had been a bit more responsive to the events on the ground in NYC, but in fairness to the artists, they have been preparing this work for the festival for a while and theater is collaborative, etc. However, I found it interesting that in a talk with academics at Columbia that could be absorbed but not so much with artists at CUNY. Then again, a talk is easier to adjust than a production...
Below is some stuff I wrote last night about what I saw at Prelude. I am only mentioning that which stood out for me, but there was a lot of good stuff. However, I am kind of tired of what I see as almost stereotypical postmodern irony, so am not addressing work that I felt fell in that category. When confronted with even very well done versions of this, I find myself initially laughing and then thinking: wait a minute, this again? It's like Cheese Whiz for smarty pants. Oh yes, there are the codes, oh ha ha, they've been broken, etc. I think some of my own work has probably fallen into this category at times, so this is not finger wagging, it's just me wondering: are we there yet? When can we begin creating something new? (For more about Irony, you can read my post from August ranting about this subject - Irony and its Discontents...)
Below, however, is some stuff I felt differently about that seemed to have its own weight all by its very self...
Seeing Steve Mellor performing a reading of Mac Wellman's Muazzez, which is a story from a collection based on apparently real asteroids was a revelation - as much for the acting as the writing, which were both spectacular. I have not been so riveted through so much dense material in a long time. The actor is speaking from the point of view of an abandoned cigar factory (ACF), who only speaks to one other ACF (Fin - the 'smarter ACF apparently). However, this ACF has not only a consciousness but a claw. I fear in attempting to describe this I will do a horrendous job of paraphrasing. I do know they are planning on making this reading into a show, so I will simply say: go see it. The premise may sound bizarre, but within this performance of text in which language goes dizzyingly astray - making the familiar strange and the strange familiar - there is an exhilarating journey through human consciousness and even - dare I say it in these postmodern times - soul. By having a solo performer embodying the text, which itself deals with the aberration of a body(building) that is 'steadfast' having the ability to dig into the layers of its own foundations thereby discovering its origin but also in that moment of discovery also realizing it/s/he has dug its/his/her own grave in which s/he/it will fall eventually, gives the text a kind of emotional/spiritual weight it would not have otherwise. There is a continual lament throughout the piece, the reason for which I will not reveal as, believe it or not, it kind of keeps a certain dramatic tension throughout the wild trajectories of the text, which is "They lied to me!" What that lie is turns out to be the axis on which the discovery the ACF makes digging with his claw turns. And I must confess it is only now writing this that I put that together...so there you have it: dense and recurring (in a good way!) material.
Two other shows were stand-outs: one was Paul Lazar reenacting a talk given by artist Suzanne Bocanegra at MOMA about how she became an artist and its relationship to her Catholic upbringing in Texas. This included watching an artist re-do her local church with decidedly modernist Rauschenberg-like gestures in the wake of the 1960s reforms of Vatican II, and in seeing the power of this artist to disturb, provoke and to her eyes create great art, even if the rest of the congregation disagreed. This experience she believes added validity to her wanting to become an artist and showed her real art may not be loved but was always noticed. The interesting talk, with images, and the alienation of hearing her voice and Lazar's giving the same lecture was charming, unsettling and ultimately quite moving. Lazar did an excellent job simply inhabiting these words, without strain or showiness in a way that brought a past talk it into the present, took it out of the personal, and handed it to us in the audience as our own experience somehow. Fabulous.
The other show that interested me was created by Otso Huopaniemi, a Finnish-American writer/director, in which he worked with 3 other performers, a laptop, Google Translate and voice recognition software. This made the piece unpredictable, visible in its creation and showed the fragility of language, understanding and the strange persistence of our ongoing relationship with machines. I can't summarize the experience, but it was quite compelling to watch. And it made everyone question the notion of authorship in an explicit way, which is always a good thing. It is called abz.love so go see it when it's completed.
There were some other interesting performances, but these are the ones I want to focus on for now. Prelude, by the way, is free and open to the public and is another reason I love being in NYC. Free stuff, lots of it, that is excellent. And seeing as with my adjunct salary, once I figure the actual hours I work, is basically minimum wage, this is a good thing.
Now off to get prepared to go meet with some friends, meet my protest-buddy Christian to Occupy Times Square and then to another friend's birthday party...assuming I manage not to get arrested, which would be a plus.
Welcome to my blog..
"We struggle with dream figures and our blows fall on living faces." Maurice Merleau-Ponty
When I started this blog in 2011, I was in a time of transition in my life between many identities - that of Artistic Director of a company (Apocryphal Theatre) to independent writer/director/artist/teacher and also between family identity, as I discover a new family that my grandfather's name change at the request of his boss in WWII hid from view - a huge Hungarian-Slovak contingent I met in 2011. Please note in light of this the irony of the name of my recently-disbanded theatre company. This particular transition probably began in the one month period (Dec. 9, 2009-Jan. 7, 2010) in which I received a PhD, my 20 year old cat died on my father's birthday and then my father, who I barely knew, died too. I was with him when he died and nothing has been the same since. This blog is tracing the more conscious elements of this journey and attempt to fill in the blanks. I'm also writing a book about my grandmothers that features too. I'd be delighted if you joined me. (Please note if you are joining mid-route, that I assume knowledge of earlier posts in later posts, so it may be better to start at the beginning for the all singing, all dancing fun-fair ride.) In October 2011, I moved back NYC after living in London for 8 years and separated from my now ex-husband, which means unless you want your life upended entirely don't start a blog called Somewhere in Transition. In November 2011, I adopted a rescue cat named Ugo. He is lovely. As of January 2012, I began teaching an acting class at Hunter College, which is where one of my grandmothers received a scholarship to study acting, but her parents would not let her go. All things come round…I began to think it may be time to stop thinking of my life in transition when in June 2012 my stepfather Tom suddenly died. Now back in the U.S. for a bit, I notice, too, my writing is more overtly political, no longer concerned about being an expat opining about a country not my own. I moved to my own apartment in August 2012 and am a very happy resident of Inwood on the top tip of Manhattan where the skunks and the egrets roam in the last old growth forest on the island.
I am now transitioning into being married again with a new surname (Barclay-Morton). John is transitioning from Canada to NYC and as of June 2014 has a green card. So transition continues, but now from sad to happy, from loss to love...from a sense of alienation to a sense of being at home in the world.
As of September 2013 I started teaching writing as an adjunct professor at Fordham University, which I have discovered I love with an almost irrational passion. While was blessed for the opportunity, after four years of being an adjunct, the lack of pay combined with heavy work load stopped working, so have transferred this teaching passion to private workshops in NYC and working with writers one on one, which I adore. I will die a happy person if I never have to grade an assignment ever again. As of 2018, I also started leading writing retreats to my beloved Orkney Islands. If you ever want two weeks that will restore your soul and give you time and space to write, get in touch. I am leading two retreats this year in July and September.
I worked full time on the book thanks to a successful crowd-funding campaign in May 2014 and completed it at two residencies at Vermont Studio Center and Wisdom House in summer 2015. I have done some revisions and am shopping it around to agents and publishers now, along with a new book recently completed.
I now work full-time as a freelance writer, writing workshop leader, coach, editor and writing retreat leader. Contact me if you are interested in any of these services.
Not sure when transition ends, if it ever does. As the saying goes, the only difference between a sad ending and a happy ending is where you stop rolling the film.
For professional information, publications, etc., go to my linked in profile and website for Barclay Morton Editorial & Design. My Twitter account is @wilhelminapitfa. You can find me on Facebook under my full name Julia Lee Barclay-Morton. More about my grandmothers' book: The Amazing True Imaginary Autobiography of Dick & Jani
In 2017, I launched a website Our Grandmothers, Our Selves, which has stories about many people's grandmothers. Please check it out. You can also contact me through that site.
In May, I directed my newest play, On the edge of/a cure, and have finally updated my publications list, which now includes an award-winning chapbook of my short-story White shoe lady, which you can find on the sidebar. I also have become a certified yoga instructor in the Kripalu lineage. What a year!
And FINALLY, I have created a website, which I hope you will visit, The Unadapted Ones. I will keep this blog site up, since it is a record of over 8 years of my life, but will eventually be blogging more at the website, so if you want to know what I am up to with my writing, teaching, retreats and so on, the site is the place to check (and to subscribe for updates). After eight years I realized, no, I'm never turning into One Thing. So The Unadapted Ones embraces the multiplicity that comprises whomever I am, which seems to always be shifting. That may in fact be reality for everyone, but will speak for myself here. So, do visit there and thanks for coming here, too. Glad to meet you on the journey...

The Grand Hôtel Nouvel Opéra is ideally located in Paris, a few steps away from metro stations, buses and taxis. Near the Gare de Lyon, and 5 minutes away from the Place de la Bastille, it offers direct access, via the metro, to the Champs Elysées, the Galeries Lafayette or le Printemps. It's an ideal base in Paris.
Recently renovated, the hotel is close to all the sites, but is sheltered from the hustle and bustle of Paris. It is located in the Bastille district, where you can find the unique atmosphere of small streets with their artisans, cafes and restaurants.

Luca Turbesi (Italy)
I was working at Erickson in Italy. I wanted to improve my skills in IT and I decided to come to Australia. I searched for courses online and compared many private and TAFE colleges. I was very impresses with what TAFE NSW had to offer. The best course I found was at TAFE NSW Meadowbank campus. At Meadowbank they have the CISCO Academy Training Centre.
When I arrived at the college, the International Student Coordinator helped me a lot to settle in. I find the facilities at TAFE are very much up to current industry standards.
The best thing for me is the lab. In this field, the employer is looking for someone who can configure, troubleshoot and monitor CISCO. This is exactly what our teachers teach us her at TAFE NSW. TAFE NSW has all the devices that you can find at the real workplace. You can simulate the same problem in the real situation. The practical aspect of the course is fantastic.
The library is fantastic, it has lots of space, open plan, and students can use the PC in the lab or use their own. There are many books to refer. I found a job just outside the campus in an Italian restaurant and I am enjoying the best pizzas in Sydney! Life is hard, balancing work and study, but I know when I go back to the industry it will be fully worth it.

There are so many issues I have with the headline and the image.
My first thought was that the person who wrote the article doesn't understand what's going on so talked about something he / she did know, womans' appearances. Or that they think this is what the readers will understand which is even more concerning. Or are they giving the people / public the info they want to know. It would be interesting know if a headline like this sells more papers. Do we live in a country that doesn't really care what is happening with our politics as long as our PM is the one who has the best legs? I hope not.
What message is this sending out to our children? I asked my daughter (10yrs old) what she thought of the picture. After rolling her eyes at me and asking if I was preparing another pshe lesson she stated "it's two politicians having a meeting" Gender didn't come into her mind. I then showed her the headline and she looked confused, " have I got it wrong I thought one was our PM?" Then she asked but what was the meeting about, took the paper off me ( got it free on the plane) and tried to work it out. Later I asked her if she was any clearer about the meeting and she huffed. "No I went onto BBC news on my iPad and got real news" My 14 yr old son responded a little differently. "Why did they dress this way, normally they wear trousers". I asked does it matter what they wear? He replied, "if they want papers to focus on politics then they shouldn't wear clothes that press will focus on". He then started telling me about Princess Diana wearing power suits to get her message across as certain charity events. Slightly stunned at my sons knowledge of Princess Diana clothes, I pondered on his comments. Do male politicians have the same restrictions/ awareness of what an outfit says about you? I don't think so and this is what I have issues with.
Ok I can hear the response now, it's only a joke, not hurting anyone and the same happened to male politicians. But does it? I am struggling to remember them. Is that because I am a woman and only jump on the feminist bandwagon. Well it seems that google is also a feminist then, because going through the headlines on google I struggled to find many that commented on comparing two male politicians body parts. The only one was David Cameron and Ed Miliband on holiday in swimming shorts, but was more about the price of the swimming shorts.
My final thought was I wonder what the headline have been if one of them had hairy legs?

How to Stop Snoring – Breathing Sounds Like Snoring While Awake
What is Sleep Apnea? Breathing Sounds Like Snoring While Awake
OSA or obstructive sleep apnea is one of the most crucial sleep disorders in the the United States. Survey results indicate that approximately 22 million people in America have sleep apnea.
OSA could be due to the narrowing of the throat pathways to decreasing blood oxygen levels during sleep, which contributes. The body then sends out adrenaline and various hormones as emergency signs, causing your body to trigger"fight or flight" mode and wakes you up. This simultaneous"waking up" instances are the main reason behind drowsiness among people suffering from sleep apnea. Breathing Sounds Like Snoring While Awake
Snoring and its Connection to Sleep Apnea
Since Obstructive Sleep Apnea is described as narrowing and the collapse of the air pathways in the throat, snoring is often common for those suffering from sleep apnea.
Although snoring could not necessarily be immediately related to sleep apnea, it's a symptom that is frequent if it's followed by pauses in breathing and at times choking and gasping.Breathing Sounds Like Snoring While Awake
If you are currently suffering from sleep apnea, then you have a problem with snoring.
Smart Nora: Remedy for Sleep Apnea without any Physician's helpBreathing Sounds Like Snoring While Awake
Smart Nora is proud for being the first snoring solution, which means it requires no additional objects to wear to alleviate snoring. Smart Nora, as the name implies, uses and stops it!
The amazing features of Smart Nora
The Smart Nora has a number of qualities that presents itself as something that is worth the money. Check out these features of the Smart Nora:
Non-invasive equipmentBreathing Sounds Like Snoring While Awake
The Nora system boasts its capability to be compared to other anti-snoring products. What is the difference between products that are invasive and non-invasive? Instruments are items that required to be introduced into the body or in body cavities such as skin, nose, and sometimes mouth. Non-invasive means that you don't have to put objects in any cavity. Thus, the Smart Nora requires no access .
Portable setup
The Nora System's portability allows one to bring the setup anytime, anyplace. You are guaranteed to have a good night's sleep as long as you bring your installation during your journey with you or even during an vacation with your loved ones. Snoring won't prevent you from enjoying your time.Breathing Sounds Like Snoring While Awake
Smart technology
In this world filled with smartphones, smartwatches, and other"smart" things, Smart Nora is not losing with respect to smart technology. It is fully automated and hands-free once set up. Wireless, an individual would not even notice if you don't point it out, that there is something different on your bed. There are no electronics near your mind when fully set up. Much like most"smart" gadgets out there, Smart Nora are also integrated with a mobile device, allowing your sleep particulars to be listed. Just imagine – you won't need to ask your spouse last night whether you snored! Breathing Sounds Like Snoring While Awake
Data about how quiet your sleep was, length of your sleep, how many times Nora was activated, volume of your snore in decibels, and even a recording of your sleep can be viewed on the program included in the bundle. Health tips are included on the program itself and it detects if your spouse was woken up while you slept for free. With just this feature, you can tell how advanced and smart the Nora technologies is.
Works in Any Sleeping PositionBreathing Sounds Like Snoring While Awake
Individuals who are inclined to change their sleeping places won't have any trouble using Smart Nora. Persons who get antsy when sleeping will be able to use Smart Nora as long as their head is on the pillow.
Completely Silent
With the awesome characteristics of Smart Nora, one would presume that the complex setup would produce a sound, but Smart Nora is absolutely silent, without producing even the smallest bit of sound while running. It would not make any sense if you have a sleeping improvement technology that is distracting and loud enough to rob you of your sleep, right?
Works with ANY pillow
People would have their own favorite pillow to use. Some wouldn't even fall asleep unless they are using their personal pillow. You won't have any problem if you are using the Smart Nora: it is capable and suitable to any pillow that you use. This create the Smart Nora ideal for any household and any bed that you will use. The installation will not have any issues as long as it's a pillow!Breathing Sounds Like Snoring While Awake
The Parts of the Smart Nora System
A system is made up of many parts and that is how the Nora System is. The Smart Nora Consists of:
Nora Bedsider
The Nora Bedsider is where most of the control features are: sensitivity adjustment, on/off, and delayed start mechanics. Also, this is where the mic is located. As the name implies, it is ideal to put it along with your bedside table drawer. Do not worry, the design of this Nora Bedsider allows it to blend beautifully without harming the aesthetics of your bedroom.
Padded Pillow InsertBreathing Sounds Like Snoring While Awake
The Padded Pillow Insert is the portion of the system which you put in your pillowcase. This is the place where the air flows with the help of the inflatable balloon inside. The add is washable and has a folding structure which enables it to be completely portable. No electronic equipment are contained in this insert; therefore it's made from all-natural material which allows you to have a healthy natural sleep too.
Portable Case
The portable case houses all of the electronics and serves as storage for the entire Nora System. The electronics itself comprises a double power adapter for its power unit and a battery for use even without the power. The very silent air pump is also located in the mobile case along with an audio receiver.
How the Nora System Helps Against Sleep Apnea
As you already have an idea on how the Smart Nora system functions, you can imagine how helpful it would be for snoring. Imagine how you would be able to fully perform and be operational at work. You would not doze off while driving as you've rested properly the night before, reducing the likelihood of a car accident that is common for people suffering from sleep apnea.
Aside from that, the shortness of breath and gasping or choking breaths would be less frequent, as once the snoring sound is detected, the Nora System will definitely respond. Decreased snoring will lead to a more harmonious relationship with your partner as a bonus, as the both of you would no more have any sleepless nights due to OSA. Sleep Apnea will be an issue for both of you, and you can completely say goodbye to snoring. Breathing Sounds Like Snoring While Awake

Washington DC is currently aflutter with news that the long-awaited Mueller Report may finally be submitted to the Attorney General William Barr in the coming days. (The regulations also require that the Attorney General give Congress "a report.")
Many of President Trump's critics hope that the report will be a finding of high crimes and misdemeanors and/or indictments of Trump and his inner circle. Meanwhile President Trump and his supporters hope that the report will be a full exoneration of the President and his campaign. Both camps are likely to be disappointed.
Instead, the Mueller Report is likely to be, as Neal K. Katyal suggests in the New York Times, "a road map" of probable wrongdoing to be followed up by other prosecutors and legislators.
Katyal is uniquely positioned to assess the situation. In 1999, he drafted the special counsel regulations, which have guided the Mueller investigation of the Russian government's efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. He is a lawyer and partner at the Hogan Lovells, an international law firm co-headquartered in London and Washington, D.C. and Professor of National Security Law at Georgetown University Law Center.
The Trump-Putin Conspiracies
It is already evident from the public record that there is prima facie evidence of conspiracies by President Trump and/or his inner circle, as outlined in my December article here. The fact that President Trump's acts and statements were done in public does not prevent them being criminal conspiracies. Nor is it necessary in the law of criminal conspiracy to prove that all participants knew all the details of the conspiracy, or that they knew all the other participants. Nor is it even necessary that the conspiracy be implemented. Participation in an illegal agreement is enough by itself to constitute a crime.
As noted in my article last December, the five most obvious conspiracies are the following:
Obstruction Of Justice
The New York Times recently summarized the hundreds of actions and statements by President Trump that are apparent attempts to obstruct justice, amounting to a two-year campaign of intimidation, pressure and humiliation. The sheer volume of the evidence is overwhelming. According to the New York Times:
Julie O'Sullivan, a criminal law professor at Georgetown University, said she believed there was ample public evidence that Mr. Trump had the "corrupt intent" to try to derail the Mueller investigation, the legal standard for an obstruction of justice case.
But this is far from a routine criminal investigation, she said, and Mr. Mueller will have to make judgments about the effect on the country of making a criminal case against the president.
Mueller: A Short Report With No Indictments
Given the weight of evidence already in the public realm, it is hard to conceive that Mueller's Report could offer an exoneration of President Trump and his campaign.
Yet nor is it likely that the Mueller Report will offer a detailed account of crimes that have been committed. Instead, according to Katyal, the Mueller Report is likely to be short. Katyal writes:
The report is unlikely to be lengthy by design: The special counsel regulations, which I had the privilege of drafting in 1999, envision a report that is concise, "a summary" of what he found. And Mr. Mueller's mandate is limited: to look into criminal activity and counterintelligence matters surrounding Russia and the 2016 election, as well as any obstruction of justice relating to those investigations.
The report is unlikely to be a dictionary-thick tome, which will disappoint some observers. But such brevity is not necessarily good news for the president. In fact, quite the opposite.
Trump's Tactical Error
According to Katyal, Trump, his lawyers and spokespersons have conducted two-year assault on the Mueller probe as a "witch hunt." But this approach may have backfired in the same way the Trump's firing of James Comey, the FBI director, backfired. Trump's legal jeopardy is greater from other prosecutors who are not as limited in scope as the Mueller probe.
For 19 months, Mr. Trump and his team have had one target to shoot at, and that target has had limited jurisdiction. But now the investigation resembles the architecture of the internet, with many different nodes, and some of those nodes possess potentially unlimited jurisdiction. Their powers and scope go well beyond Mr. Mueller's circumscribed mandate; they go to Mr. Trump's judgment and whether he lied to the American people. They also include law enforcement investigations having nothing to do with Russia.
President Trump's attacks on Mueller, his dangling of pardons to witnesses in the investigation, and the lying by multiple Trump associates have aggravated the evidence against Trump and his campaign. By posing the issue as "Trump vs. Mueller," Trump may well have induced Mueller to spawn further investigations to be carried out by investigators "who have not been subject to the same sorts of public attack" and "who are less limited in scope."
A Precedent For The Indirect Approach
Katyal cites a precedent for this indirect approach.
In March 1974, Peter Rodino, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, wrote to Mr. Jaworski, requesting all information he had uncovered in his investigation. Mr. Rodino understood that Mr. Jaworski's mandate was far more limited than the House's, and his letter stated that "it would be unthinkable if this material were kept from the House of Representatives in the course of the discharge of its most awesome constitutional responsibility."
Of course, there is no open impeachment inquiry now. But that could quickly change if Mr. Mueller writes a report that is anything less than a full clearing of the president: Congress would be under a constitutional obligation to investigate the facts for itself.
By pointing to Trump's probable offenses, while not providing detailed information about them, Mueller's Report will be in effect inviting the House and other prosecutors to pick up the ball. This approach
may be initially unsatisfying to Mr. Trump's critics but ultimately more threatening to the president in the long run.
The overlapping investigations by different entities, housed in different branches of government, spanning geography and even different governments (such as the New York attorney general's investigation into the Trump Foundation), make it difficult for anyone, even Attorney General Barr, to end the inquiries.
Why This Is A Good Result
Katyal believes that this result is "a good one," although "disappointing, for various reasons, to the president's critics and supporters alike."
It means the truth is likely to come out — maybe not on the timetable anyone wants, but it will… the investigations here serve a purpose that transcends any one individual or law enforcement entity. This is the architecture of our Constitution, which is designed to ferret out high-level wrongdoing through a variety of channels for the American public to see.
"A short Mueller Report," says Katyal, "will most likely mark the end of the beginning, not the beginning of the end."

Report & Reaction: Tosi Rifles Limerick To Vital Victory
Rodrigo Tosi set Limerick on their way to a vital victory as they overcame Bohemians 1-0 in the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division at the Markets Field on Saturday evening, moving to within two points of the top half.
Audio Reaction from Frank Hogan Volkswagen Man of the Match Bastien Héry; listen below.
Audio Reaction from centre-half Tony Whitehead; listen below.
The Shannonsiders started brightly and were denied a lead goal on five minutes by a fine Shane Supple save from Chiedozie Ogbene. But the opener soon arrived as Tosi was fouled in the box and the Brazilian stood up to bury the penalty.
Tosi could have had another but Supple was equal to it. It was the turn of Brendan Clarke to impress between the sticks before half-time when he got down to push away Georgie Poynton's good spot-kick, which kept Limerick in front at the break.
Bohs should have been level after the restart when Keith Ward's corner was knocked onto Ciarán O'Connor but from virtually on the line he headed over. Then he was denied a shot by a last-ditch tackle from Barry Cotter.
Limerick, meanwhile, were dangerous on the break through Ogbene who should have been less wasteful with his opportunities. But it mattered little as the Blues closed out victory.
Manager Neil McDonald made two changes to the team that lost to Shamrock Rovers four days earlier as Stephen Kenny and Tosi came in to replace Dean Clarke and Shane Duggan, with the Brazilian partnering Peter Berki up front. Brendan Clarke skippered the team.
And it was the Shannonsiders who should have been ahead on five minutes when Kenny's ball over the top released Ogbene who bore down on goal only to see his strike blocked well by Supple, who then held well from Lee-J Lynch's powerful follow-up.
On nine minutes, Limerick were awarded a penalty when Rob Cornwall fouled Tosi in the box, and the striker stood up to coolly convert from the spot. The 34-year-old almost added to his tally before the quarter-hour but after getting by Cornwall his rifled effort was pushed away by Supple.
Bohemians slowly came into the game and on 38 minutes they were handed a way back into it when Joe Crowe was adjudged to have fouled in the area. Poynton – who netted a penalty in their recent win in Cork – stood but he saw his driven penalty brilliantly turned away by Clarke.
After the break, Bohs went close when Ward's corner was flicked on by Cornwall and, while it came quickly at him, O'Connor should have scored, instead heading over from two-yards out. Then he was in on goal but Barry Cotter got back to stop the shot.
Limerick, though, were a threat on the break through Ogbene, and they settled down after weathering that Bohemians storm early in the half. Still, the game went to the final moments, all 96 minutes, with Limerick seeing them out to earn a vital win.

Record subscriptions for the Coal India initial public offer (IPO) from retail investors have made people, from finance minister Pranab Mukherjee to company chairman Partha Bhattacharyya, happy, though some financial advisors are a worried a lot with the leverage the salaried class is taking to get a share of the pie.
India's biggest share sale received 17 times subscriptions, or $55 billion, as investors expect to make quick returns on expectations that it may trade at a 20-25% premium to the offer price, based on the grey market transactions.
Men, like the 28-year-old Raj Wadhwa in New Delhi and software engineer Gaurav Prakash from the same city, are borrowing from banks to bid for Coal India shares to profit at the time of listing.
What they don't factor in is that if the market tide turns as it happened in the case of Reliance Power's share sale in 2008, they may sink with the stock leaving them servicing the debt from salary which could cut other discretionary consumption.
"Some people bet on the hope that the government issue will not upturn their calculations but you should realise it's not only the fundamentals of the company which determine the stock market play, but also the market conditions," said Vikas Vasal, personal finance expert and partner at consulting company KPMG.
The IPO from the world's largest coal producer has ignited such investor interest that from institutions to individuals, many are emptying their bank balances and borrowing to get the allotment. Although this is the biggest-ever share sale, attractive pricing and expert opinions that the prospects for short-term profit is bright is leading to a rush.
Engineer Prakash, who is investing borrowed money in the share sale, is confident that he would profit since state-owned companies are fundamentally sound and that some risk-taking is essential to get rich.
"The interesting bit here is that you can be sure of public sector companies which are coming out with offers," says Prakash. "Risk toh spiderman ko bhi lena padta hai, (even spiderman has to take risks)."
Although investors have profited by buying shares of carmaker Maruti Suzuki and utility major NTPC, others such as the miner NMDC's follow-on offer and NHPC's were disappointing.
Bankers say that there is a sudden surge in the demand for personal loan, some of which may find its way to the stock market.
"There has been an increase in personal loans and that's why we have increased it to 24 times the salary of the loan seeker from 18 times," says an executive at India's largest lender State Bank of India (SBI) who did not want to be identified. The tenure has been increased to 5 years, from four years.
Some recent successes have also boosted the investor optimism. Mr Wadhwa who earns Rs 50,000 a month selling insurance policies has taken a Rs 5 lakh loan from SBI to bid for the Coal India issue. After making a profit this year in the share sale of Jubilant Foodworks, which has more than tripled from the IPO price, Mr Wadhwa is sure that there's no money-making if one doesn't take risk.
He assumes that the shares would debut on November 4 at around Rs 280 a share, a 21% premium, after the prices are fixed at the top-end of the Rs 225-245 price band. Retail investors may have to pay Rs 232 a piece due to the declared 5% discount.
"Now here I am playing very safe and hoping for only 40% allotment, which means I will be effectively investing Rs 2 lakh in this IPO," says Mr Wadhwa who wrote multiple applications in relatives' names.Although these calculations appear rosy, the reality may turn as it is more driven by human emotions rather than mathematical formulae.
"It's definitely high risk and high gain," says Ashish Kapur, chief executive at investment advisory Invest Shopee.

Sundance morning meditation
This is a great way to start your day, to stretch all the muscles, to energise all meridians and to greet Directions and the Sun. Starting in the East, you repeat these moves four rounds of four sides. In the video it is one round of four sides. The words are: Fly like an Eagle, circling the World with Love, give Love to the Earth - receive, give Love to the Great Spirit - receive; [repeat the same starting with the other leg]; give Love to the Brothers and Sisters - receive, give Love to the Brothers and Sisters - receive.
It is a great way to practice gratitude to everything that is, and to exchange Love with the Universe and Mother Earth and all its Beings. Enjoy!
Song of the world
Paint your life
A colour of sun
Breathe in vibration
Of shining gold
Stare in the eye of a crow
And say hello
To the dawn mystery
Holding the unknown
When the crow replies
With the song of the world
Bow with gratitude
Release what is old
Life is sacred
The crow tells
My love is reflected
In his bottomless eyes
And off he flies into the rising sun of India

First Unity Lodge
For more information about the programme and activities of the Lodge contact First Unity
First Unity Lodge was the first joint men's and women's Lodge in the world. It was formed 50 years ago from a nucleus of young people who had previously been members of a B'nai Brith Young Adult Lodge. We are a friendly group of around 90 people and meet fortnightly on Sunday evenings in members' homes.
This, being our 50th anniversary year, in addition to our popular fortnightly Sunday evening programmes, we have enjoyed a wonderful weekend away in Hunton Park and a 50th anniversary tea party with entertainment. We occasionally use the communal lounge at Frances & Dick James Court where tenants are also invited. Afternoon meetings offer an alternative to those who prefer daytime attendance. Monthly Bridge sessions also feature.
Our Annual Unity Lecture was this year given by Rabbi Rodney Mariner who addressed Unity through Diversity. We also enjoyed a New Year's Eve party, a Summer Party and our annual Walter Hoffman outing which this year was a tour of the V&A with a Jewish twist. Other programmes have included Life after Brexit, Jewish Bletchley Park, a talk on the first woman rabbi and Rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg who, together with his dog, talked about his book My Dear Ones. We have plenty of homegrown talent and programmes included poetry, musical and contribution meetings.
As our Lodge is drawn from all over North West London, we have experimented by dividing our membership into area groups which meet independently to give people an opportunity to get to know each other better – our Sunday meetings tend to be large. This initiative will, we hope, help newer members to become more active and maybe offer their homes for smaller meetings. This is still a work in progress. This year we have also held some craft workshops on patchwork, jewellery and mosaic-making.
The Fundraising Committee events have organised two events during the year: Howard Jacobs spoke about the psychology of early Disney films, complete with clips, and Lord Winston regaled us with memories of his early days as a young doctor as well bringing up to date with his latest research. These events raised money for BBUK projects. In addition to our usual donations, we have made some extra donations from our funds in recognition of our golden anniversary. We continue with our Quartet of Presidents, each taking three months of the year. It works well for us.
