Reading Sample
This page contains a free reading sample test to evaluate your reading comprehension skills.
Our practice Asset Reading Skills Tests are in the same format as the actual Asset Exam.
Here is an Asset Sample Test from our Asset Reading Skills Comprehension PDF download.
You can get the same material with our writing test material as a paperback on Amazon.
Asset Reading Sample Test Passage:
In the Black Hills in the state of South Dakota in the United States, four visages protrude from the side of a mountain. The faces are those of four United States' presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. Overseen and directed by the Danish-American sculptor John Gutzon Borglum, the work on this giant display of outdoor art was a Herculean task that took 14 years to complete.
A South Dakota state historian named Doane Robinson originally conceived of the idea for the memorial sculpture. He proposed that the work be dedicated to popular figures, who were prominent in the western United States and accordingly suggested statues of western heroes such as Buffalo Bill Cody and Kit Carson. Deeming a project dedicated to popular heroes frivolous, Borglum rejected Robinson's proposal. It was Borglum's firm conviction that the mountain carving be used to memorialize individuals of national, rather than regional, importance.
Mount Rushmore therefore became a national memorial, dedicated to the four presidents who were considered most pivotal in US history. Washington was chosen on the basis of being the first president. Jefferson, who was of course a president, was also instrumental in the writing of the American Declaration of Independence. Lincoln was selected on the basis of the mettle he demonstrated during the American Civil war, Roosevelt for his development of Square Deal policy, as well as being a proponent of the construction of the Panama Canal. Commencing with Washington's head first, Borglum quickly realized that it would be best to work on only one head at a time, in order to make it compatible with its surroundings. In order to help him visualize the final outcome, he fashioned a 1.5 meter high plaster model on a scale of 1 to 12.
Work on the venture began in 1927 and was completed in 1941. The cost of the project was nearly $1,000,000, which was raised mostly from national government funds, but also from charitable donations from magnanimous and benevolent members of the public. The carving of the mountain was tedious and arduous work, employing 360 men who worked in groups of 30. The daily working conditions on the mountainside can best be described as treacherous. For instance, men were often strapped inside leather harnesses that dangled over the cliff edge. Further, workers needed great strength to withstand the exertion of drilling into the mountainside.
The workmen faced frequent delays due to a dearth of financial backing in the early days, in addition to inclement weather throughout the 14 year period. Adverse conditions were also discovered when the carving of Jefferson began. The detection of poor quality stone on the mountain to the left of Washington resulted in Jefferson's face being re-positioned to the right side. In spite of these setbacks, Mount Rushmore remained the best choice for the location of the memorial. Yet, a large amount of the rock had to be blasted away from the mountain using dynamite or pneumatic drills, and as a result, approximately 450,000 tons of rock still lies at the foot of the mountain today.

Molyneux: "Surprise" Has To Be The Center Of Gaming
Peter Molyneux is one of those guys who always speaks his mind. Occasionally he speaks a little out of turn, like when he said Fable would be the "greatest game ever made" but hey, gotta self-promote.
During a Unite 2012 conference in Amsterdam, the veteran designer spoke about a variety of topics, including his first project - Cruiosity - since leaving Lionhead. And as cited by Videogamer, Molyneux believes that right now, interactive entertainment has the most to offer, and that a great many are starting to realize that.
"The amazing thing about where we are today is that the whole world is becoming gamers. I'm bored with movies, I'm bored with TV programs. We're in the industry, the last entertainment industry that really, truly can surprise people.
We are in the industry where surprise has to be at the centre of everything that we do."
Progress remains inevitable, especially with some of the other visionaries we've got working in the industry. Personally, I have to agree with Molyneux, as most other entertainment venues, including movies and music, are basically boring me to tears right now. The most interesting stuff and in many ways, the most talented and intelligent stuff, is coming from this industry right here. Makes you feel kinda proud, doesn't it?

I don't expect to see anything from him, but as Quantic Dream spearheads a whole new genre and the indie scene attempts great things I see lots of newness in the future.
WTF is Cruiosity?

I would say that a lot of people have changed the way they are "consuming" tv shows. Gone are the day when you would sit down and watch a show for 50 minutes once a week.
Now it is more likely to download an episode when you want it or watch the whole series in a week or two!
The quality has improved as well. Dexter, Madmen, True Blood, Breaking Bad, Rome, Spartacus, Sons of Anarchy, Game of Thrones etc. Brilliant shows with high production values.
Video games are bigger and better than ever but tv shows haven't stagnated. They have advanced as well but we have mostly just become more selective in how we watch them. We might be more interactive with tv shows than Pete gives us credit for!

Interactive entertainment should get better for a long time to come, and with certain people in the industry already, we have a lot of good suprises to look forward too.
Thursday, August 23, 2012 @ 4:45:23 PM
Obviously, there are plenty of movies and books that don't surprise as well, and if all we watch is The Avengers and Transformers, then that's hardly surprising, but there is also _oodles_ of quality (often semi-independent) cinema out there. As for TV, there are numerous quality series (Gordo's post has it covered), although, just like gaming, there's more dreck as well.
Games give more of a sense of exploration than most other medium (although it's still there in the rest), but I think, like so much else that he says, that Molyneux is stuck within his own experience and should get out a bit more (and read a book maybe? ;)). Games also have a much greater sense of empowerment, and when done right, a greater level of immersion. I love 'em to bits, and it's easily the form of entertainment I get into. But when it comes to surprise, then I can't see any evidence for games having an edge on anything else, and I'd say games lag far behind quality literature found in books.

Games beat books in many areas, and I play far more games than read books, but when it comes to the potential to 'surprise' (which is what Molyneux is talking about), then I'd say books still have it.

But I just feel that interactive media opens many doors in terms of how you can engage the consumer. Because, not only does it include the passiveness of movies, books (as in script writing) and music to tell a story, or evoke an atmosphere, but also includes the interactiveness which can empower the player & what-not. And when you mix all of that together, I think you get the best medium to engage the consumer, and make them invest themself in the game.
However, I'm not gunna lie; I've heard better music, seen better movies and have read better books than any 'adaption' of such in a game. But as it is, gaming is relatively young compared to those mediums, & come 100 or so years, and I think gaming will have fulfilled a lot of that untapped potential.

By local i mean on the local networks cbs, nbc, abc, and fox. It had 3 things going for it.
1. high production value.
2. each episode was to be continued like a soap opera.
3. good actors and actresses.
How this series get beaten out by their competitors weekly detective dramas was bad promoting on their part, I think.
No ordinary family was pretty good too. For the people who liked smalville, that piece of crap, it goes 8 seasons and he turn to superman in the final 8 minutes of the series finally? I was wanting that to happen in 2nd or 3rd season if not the first.
No ordinary family ran for 1 year, v ran for 2 years. Those shows make the 8 seasons of smallville looks like crap.
Take care.

Fbi agents chasing strange phenomona that doesn't get explained until the season finale, or they make it up by revealing an answer to a much bigger phenomona totally unrelated to the phenomoma they were searching for in the previous episodes.

Hi all,
I've recently started writing some blog posts and figured I'd provide a link here for those that are interested. First up, I've released some Photoshop actions that have saved me a lot of time over the years. They're especially useful for game artists.
In addition, there's a post that provides a mini-tutorial on how to set-up Photoshop's alpha channel colour profile correctly. The default isn't the most ideal for game artists.
I plan to release some brushes and cover other topics over the coming weeks, months, years!
Anyhow, enough waffle, here's the link:

Harvard's president said Tuesday that the university's decision to end early admissions was aimed in part at tamping down the growing frenzy over how students gain entrance to the nation's top institutions.
In announcing the decision, Harvard said such programs tended to benefit more-affluent students at the expense of minorities and the poor.
"The college admissions process has become too pressured, too complex and too vulnerable to public cynicism," said Harvard's interim president, Derek Bok. "We hope that doing away with early admissions will improve the process and make it simpler and fairer."
The change will take effect next fall for those seeking entrance in fall 2008. Harvard plans to reconsider the decision if the academic quality of applicants suffers as a result.

One Day
- Artist: Burning Earth
- Genre: Rock
- Release Date: 10/14/2008
Burning Earth rose from the ashes of one of Pittsburgh\'s premier alternative bands, "Psychedelic Kitchen\' and Uniontown\'s own local favorites \'Lucid 1\'. \'The Kitchen\' as they were called had band members Wade and Paully in direct competition with Uniontown favorites Eric and Bubsy of Lucid 1. Due to a shift in the musical climate and success pulling band members in different directions, The Kitchen broke up. Wade then formed "Copper Drama" with bass player \'Stoner\' joining approximately 2 years later. After a period of hiatus, the opportunity to become a stronger unit opened with Eric and Bubsy leaving Lucid 1 and the two \'Drama\' players with ex-Kitchen drummer Paully, grouping and starting what is known today as B.E. or the mighty BURNING EARTH! Each band member compliments one other. This is a true band in every sense. Each member truly is a \'KEY\' member. The chemistry is second to none. Right from the start Burning Earth was destined for the bigger stages. From it\'s inception in 2005 Burning Earth has performed as opening act and special guests to: Buckcherry, Days of the New, Seven Mary Three, Mark Slaughter, Crossfade, Saliva, Quiet Riot, Jani Lane's Warrant, Jackyl, The Bullet Boys, Rehab, Mercy Fall, Ron Keel, Daniel MacMaster of BONHAM, and Deconstruct. In previous incarnations the band/members have opened for: Creed, Sammy Hagar, Fuel, Blue Oyster Cult, Pat Benatar and many more. Then early in 2008 Burning Earth was approached by manager "Sweet Lou" Hetzer with the opportunity to make a record at Studio4 Recording in Philadelphia Pa. With multi-platinum selling recording artist/producer Dean Davidson formerly of Britney Fox, and Grammy award winning producer Phil Nicolo of "The Butcher Brothers" fame and "Rough House Records". The band knew this was the opportunity of a lifetime but the window of opportunity would be closing quickly due to internal and external scheduling conflicts so there would only be time for one day in the studio before returning to Pittsburgh for a stop at the "Hard Rock Café." Once in the studio the band churned out their debut full length studio release "One Day" which is available for download in the store area.

Out of this world!
I'm a firm believer in all the conspiracy theories about aliens and their nonstop visits to earth
I'm a firm believer in all the conspiracy theories about aliens and their nonstop visits to earth. I have no doubt in my mind that things fishy are hidden at Area 51 and Roswell. What I'm not sure about is whether the extra-terrestrial looks like a humanoid with massive upward slanting eyes or something prawn-like as in the film District 9. Also, will these aliens really wait suspended in green gunk for decades until the President of the United States and Will Smith arrive, to reveal their goal of planetary domination?
The heart on Pluto does not impress me. That sounds like those people who see deities in toast and inside potatoes. But Pluto impresses me much. As do all the sightings of the moons of Saturn, as beamed down by Cassini. Pic/NASA
I do also firmly believe that aliens abduct more Americans than any other people on Earth. Especially Americans who live in the middle of America and work on large and lonely farms and who drive down empty creepy roads alone in the middle of the night: in fact they sound like perfect alien bait. Whether the aliens actually probe them in unmentionable orifices I don't know. Indeed, when you consider that all alien arrivals in films and TV serials happen at tourist spots in every part of the world that is not America, you realise that these aliens are just keeping tabs on American tourists at the Taj Mahal, the Pyramids, Eiffel Tower, Vatican and so on.
Now that Russian entrepreneur and businessman Yuri Milner has started the Breakthrough Listen "endeavour" to search for extra-terrestrial life, together with renowned physicist Stephen Hawking, maybe them aliens will move beyond probing America. I am not sure that $100 million is enough to get to the Andromeda Galaxy, but maybe these beings are closer than we think. Ever since I read Fred Hoyle's Black Cloud I've looked at monsoon clouds very suspiciously. As Joni Mitchell sang, they block the sun and rain and snow on everyone. There were so many things she could have done but clouds got in her way. If that's not hostile alien activity, what is?
I also do want answers, however, to Nazca lines, Easter Island heads and mitochondria. Also those bacteria-like beings they once claimed to have brought back from Mars. They all seem remarkably suspicious things to me, especially since one of them just sits in our cells. Hmm. I hope a trip to Andromeda sorts that one out.
As you can see, I really am a sucker for sci-fi, sci-junk and sci-fi based around the Taj Mahal. The heart on Pluto does not impress me. That sounds like those people who see deities in toast and inside potatoes. But Pluto impresses me much. As do all the sightings of the moons of Saturn, as beamed down by Cassini.
However, if Breakthrough is successful, and I do sorely hope it is, I will be very disappointed by the following. If alien life is found in the solar system, because that means they're even stupider than us if they haven't got in touch so far. If aliens speak English, because the universal translator on Doctor Who's TARDIS aside, that would be just idiotic. If aliens are green, because how clichéd can you get, unless they are as evil and funny as in Mars Attacks. If aliens look anything like they did in the film Alien, because that's just too ugly and communication is going to be very difficult if they keep exploding out of your stomach. If aliens look like petrol pumps, the way they did in cartoons when I was a kid. Been there, done that.
I have serious doubts about bacteria because they really run us and this planet, so maybe these aliens are already here. And are neither green nor do they speak English. I quite like the theory that we ourselves are alien to this planet, some space debris dumped by a passing trailer. Poor Earth, in that case.
Honestly though, with any luck, Breakthrough will find intelligent life outside earth that is nothing remotely like anything we've ever dreamt of. And then we can ask them about crop circles. Admit it. You've always wanted to know.

no cause you can lose your balance and get beaten up on the ground if you don't practice ground based martial arts
high kicks are invented by aikidokas and have been put inside other martial arts by aikidoka spies so when they fight,as soon as they high kick someone they lose balance and fall down
informer24 is a shithead, and here's a video - fast forward to 2:30 and wait to the KICK!
YouTube- Devastating Muay Thai K.O. (1080p)
Ive actually knocked someone out with a hickkick, and kocked people down in a fight to get ontop of them, Most of the people on here will accuse me of lying because I dont have a video So I guess it doesnt matter what I say. Also beleive it or not most people in real life cant fight so achieving a highkick on someone isnt too difficult especially on highschoolers.
It does happen
as an example of a one case wonder I have posted a link of a person killed by a high kick in a street fight by a martial artist
one of the bad ones

We have had some wonderful entries for the Ten Year T-Shirt competition, and they will soon be on display for your voting.
they are all from the same person! To add a little more spice, we are extending the closing date to the 7th of April, so there is still time for a few last entries. To remind you of the rules:
As part of our birthday celebrations to Drachenwald's ten years as a kingdom, a Drachenwald T-Shirt project is in planning. Special Drachenwald 10 Year shirts - and other products - will be available for purchase on-line and "live" at the 10 Year event in June. As well as providing a lot of fun, these T-Shirts will also help the Kingdom financially, as part of the sales price will go to Kingdom funds.
Perhaps your design will be the one to grace the "Official DW Ten Year Shirt"?
I call on all our Kingdom's artists, scribes, comedians and philosophers to invent a motif for the official commemorative shirt. A logo, a design, a cartoon, a phrase - draw it up and send it to me. All submitted designs will be displayed on-line for voting, and the winner will be printed and offered for sale worldwide and at the DW10Y celebration.
These are the rules of the competition:
1) All entries must reach the organisers by the 7th of April. Please
send them to email@example.com
2) All entries should be suitable for printing on T-shirts, and also on mugs, hats, mouse-mats, underwear and other products as judged appropriate by the organisers.
3) The entry should commemorate the tenth birthday celebrations of Drachenwald. The design may be text, graphics or a combination of both.
4) All entries should be in a format suitable for electronic cloth printing (see notes). If other formats or artwork are sent, every reasonable attempt will be made to digitise them in a suitable way. However, they may simply prove unprintable.
5) All entries must be the artist's own work.
6) The winning design will be selected by popular on-line vote. Each voter is entitled to one vote only.
7) Entry implies that the artist accepts these rules, and agrees to their design being used for printing on T-shirts, and also on mugs, hats, mouse-mats, underwear and other products as judged appropriate by the organisers. They agree that representatives of Drachenwald (a sub-unit of the SCA) may offer these products for sale and that any monies raised will become the property of Drachenwald. The winning design will become the property of Drachenwald, but will be accredited wherever possible.

Hi Natalie
It doesn't sound like blight to me. Tomato leaves often curl in on themselves due to temperature changes Warm days and cool nights etc. It shouldn't cause a problem.
Don't over-feed - as you say, a dose of Tomorite when the first truss sets, then another dose when the third truss sets, and another for the fifth is roughly what I do.
I'm not sure what the withering on the fruit could be. Can you show us a photo please?

Natalie, you do not say where you are in the UK or what type of plant you have.
My initial thought is you moved them outside too soon or too quickly, they hate the cold winds and rain. Even outside plants grown for the purpose would not be out in my area as yet, NE England. Are the leaves blue-ish in colour a sign of low temperature, are they in full sun during the day with a cover at night, our nights get quite cold. My feeding procedure is a small amount of feed in each can of water, little and often not a feast. With a bit more information we may have a better idea.

Super-size Your D20
For Valentine's Day, some people dream of getting a sparkly, shiny something. Here's a geeky version – a giant metallic d20 (20-sided die, for the role-playing game un-initiated).
Kat and Cam at Our Nerd Home have rolled up a quick tutorial for you on how to make your own d20 using a piece of ~20″x20″ cardboard (I love how they used cardboard from a Lord of the Rings set of Legos they just happened to have laying around!)
My son's 20th birthday is this week, so this could be just about the perfect present for me to make for him.
In the post, Kat/Cam mention that they left the numbers off the die to make it a more subtle decor item. If you make this, will you add numbers, or no?

If you had a gun to your head, could you tell me the difference between "farther" or "further," or spell "minuscule" correctly? In honor of National Grammar Day (March 4!) we'll be debunking dialectical deceit all month on Woot. Was your ninth-grade English teacher's classroom a house of lies? Find out from 74-time Jeopardy! champion (and self-proclaimed grammar Nazi) Ken Jennings.
Language Myth #4: It's Bad Grammar to Ever Split an Infinitive.
An infinitive is a verb that hasn't been conjugated to indicate who's doing it or when. To go, for example, is an English infinitive. But if you were to put a third word between to and go—like Captain Kirk does when he promises "to boldly go where no man has gone before"—you have split the infinitive, a construction at which many self-appointed grammarians like to tsk-tsk.

Indian Grand Prix: post-race discussion
Vettel does an encore, Alonso finishes 2nd post some brilliant driving
We think we're right in thinking Lewis Hamilton can still win the world championship if he wins all the last three races and Sebastian Vettel doesn't score. At all. Lewis would then have six races wins to Seb's five. Lewis wins.
Jeah! Ain't going to happen, is it? There is only one world champion this year. It's the same as last year's, same as the year before. Fernando Alonso might have driven his off this morning to limit the damage, but second was the best he, and we, could hope for. Seb now leads by 13 points. At this rate the good folks of Austin Texas will have a new world champion to crown come 18 November.
Red Bull haven't so much won this one as been gifted it by McLaren, neither of whose drivers can win now (well, yes, mathematically Lewis, but like we say, "jeah") and who could possibly be beaten by Ferrari in the constructor's championship too now, as the re-animated Felipe Massa continues to score points like he did today with a fifth place some 30 secs behind the "A-team" car of Alonso.
TopGear remembered to put its clock back and took breakfast with Martin Brundle who was kind of adamant that this was another race in which McLaren has let itself down with the type of tiny technical error it's made all season long. The cog the team had selected for the gearbox's seventh slot just wasn't long enough, so Lewis and JB bounced off the rev limiter along the second half of the back straight while others simply didn't. Fernando Alonso especially, and especially on the opening lap when he drafted and then drilled Macs in what looked like the move of the season.
After what we've thought have been a couple of iffy races for Lewis, he looked like he meant it today at least and chased Mark Webber's KERSless RB8 all the way to the line for the third podium slot. Jenson Button however had another one of those afternoons in fifth. After this year, we really worry about McLaren in 2013 without a superstar on board.
Top six then; VET, ALO, WEB, HAM, BUT, MAS. After that Kimi Raikkonen dragged the Lotus home sevenths some 45secs down the road and another familiar whine about how getting it wrong in qualifying had cost Lotus a podium. Don't get us wrong, Kimi's comeback has been impressive. He is still third in the championship which is astonishing considering he's a) not driving for Red Bull nor b) Fernando Alonso.
Hulkenberg, Grosjean and Senna filled out the top ten, Senna looking especially racey today. Seems a crying shame that he's most likely not going to be in that seat next season. Maldonado may be rich and fast, but he's more clumsy than Senna and proved it again today.
So with the title as good as won, we're concentrating on little things from now on, like Bruno ending the season with more points than Maldonado — there's only seven in it now. Let us know what you want to happen in Abu Dhabi, Austin and the Autodromo Carlos Pace. Lewis winning all three excluded.

It takes a lot of self confidence and self esteem to step up and keep stepping up when life gets rough. Like the stairs below, it's difficult to see the very top step when we're viewing it from the bottom. Sometimes the top becomes clearer when someone points it out. We then become more confident and are able to get there because we can see that glimmer of hope.
In this case, the top of the steps in the picture below is beside the glimmer of light you can see near the the tree on the right. Now I've raised your confidence that the top is in view, you can finally see it. You're more comfortable now you know where it is. Your self-esteem about being able to climb there is growing by the minute.
The first step up
The first thing about building self-confidence is to take that first step. Are you sick of your job? Do you want to fall in love? Do you want to save your marriage? If you look at the above picture again you'll see that the first step is the closest to you. You have to be willing to take that one. Don't dream of becoming the manager if you haven't done what's necessary to climb all the rounds. Don't wish you could have a blissful relationship without first having the self-esteem to stick it out when times are hard.
Step up with confidence
If you ask any guru how to be confident or how to build your self-esteem, they will tell you to do the very things that are difficult for you. A child learns patience by waiting for things. We're not born with patience. We learn it. It's the same with confidence and personal development. We learn by doing.
Steps to succeed with confidence
Take that first step.
Keep climbing.
Take others with you. I showed you where the top of the stairs was. Do that for others because it helps you focus on it too.
When you get to the middle, look back to see how many you've conquered. Looking back builds self-esteem because it shows you the strength you've already put in.
Look forward too, because it's now easier to see the top and this keeps you focused.
Don't be afraid to take a breather if you need it. But keep going.
Make sure you step up with someone else. Confidence is sweeter in company. It's hard to be confident on your own.
Don't forget that self-esteem is learning not getting. Savour your climb so you can help others step up with confidence too.
As always, thanks for visiting and commenting. Please share this building self-confidence article on your social networking sites and with those who need it today. If you have any other confidence building tips, why not share them in the comment box below. Thank you.

Excellent article – and you are so right, it all begins with that first step. All the preparation in the world won't get you any closer to creating the life you really want if you don't take that first step. Thanks, look forward to reading more!

Hi Anne,
Wonderful post, indeed!
I loved the way you explained building confidence through comparing the process to the steps on stairs. One thing struck me from your post. As you said, we can see the first step. Sure, the last step is further away. However, we can still see the first step! Let's get onto the first step and let the journey up begin.
Thank you.
Hiten recently posted..How to deal with stress
Outstanding article and you are so accurate; it all initiates with that first step. All the homework in the world won't get you any closer to making the life you really want if you do not take that first step. Thanks look onward to reading further.
Building confidence is definitely a lifelong endeavor and you are so right, it does start with that first step. The willingness to be uncomfortable and take that first step is essential. Thanks for your article. I appreciate your words.
Tom recently posted..Chiropractic Marketing Comes of Age
I love the way you mention to take the first step. That all it takes…one step! After that it becomes so easy. I work with people with low self esteem. When one of them takes the first step, it is so exciting to me because I know that they are on the beginning of their road.
On the other hand, if a client is with me a while and doesn't want to take that step, it is difficult, but I tell she/he that I can't work with them because they are not even trying. Sometimes they surprise me and come back saying they worked on it. Oh boy what a great moment and then we continue working.

Building self-confidence isn't an overnight job, and you need to work on it by going slow and taking small steps, just as you mentioned about the staircase. I guess when you do that, you can never really go wrong. 🙂

It 2 years passed she is still with me and very are going to married. But Still she feel very Uncomfortable to talk with strangers. 🙂
I think confidence building is an amazing task. It can take hard work, and the person has to want to do it. But it can be done. I wish good luck to anyone going through this!
You know what Miss Anne, I love all your articles. Building confidence is not easy for a person who's lack of attitude to pursue it. Thank you so much for sharing to us your insights about life. Take care always.
Great post, nothing is easy in this world, but if you believe in your self and work hard, you can achieve whatever you want.
I love your statement "Don't be afraid to take a breather if you need it. But keep going.". Sometimes we are too afraid to take even for small steps, but we should remember that nothing that happens that we cannot handle in this life

Corn: Large-scale fund selling was the order of the day on Tuesday. Fundamental news to start the day was bullish with South Korea talking about securing 12% of its yearly grain usage needs. There are a number of countries that want to buy now to hedge against a longer-term rise in food prices. That is likely the reason for the initial bounce overnight.
Overnight eventually traded lower, which was likely caused by risk aversion. That makes good sense when you look at it. Smaller speculators have been buying this market on each setback for nearly two months now. Needless to say, this is a plan that has worked well.
Last week, these bullish speculators saw fund selling hand them a sizable setback. After buying it back Thursday, they were once again finding themselves far behind by the end of Friday's trade. Some of these long speculators had to see a higher opening overnight as a chance to get out and avoid the additional volatility that was seen last week. It does not take large selling to move the overnight market down 10 cents compared to day trade volume.
Once the day session started, funds began aggressive selling once again. This time there were fewer buyers to offer support after getting hit hard last week. For the first time in quite a while, front-month May corn has a chart that is on the verge of looking weak. Fundamentals look mixed with large potential exports partially being offset by a large expected number of corn acres this year. Trade estimates that corn acreage will reach 91.5 million acres now.
Seasonally, the corn finds a hard time setting back as planting draws closer but let's first focus on how much the funds sell short term. It is impossible to tell if Tuesday was the last day of selling for the funds or if it's just the beginning…Ryan Ettner
Soybeans: Beans closed limit down Tuesday as investors liquidated positions due to the political turmoil in Libya. We are at the lowest prices we have seen since Dec. 20, 2010. Funds were sellers of almost 10,000 contract and the market finished 70 cents lower. The market is expecting to open the overnight trade at 1309 – 1311 after Tuesday's decline.
The USDA says weekly export inspections of soybeans are 41.0 million bushels, topping forecasts for 30.0 – 35.0 million. Showers in Brazil are favorable for filling crops but are also slowing early harvest. Warmer and drier weather later in the week should help harvest progress. Showers and cooler temperatures in Argentina are seen as helping crops and keeping pressure on the markets.
Funds were sellers of an estimated 4,000 soybean meal contracts and 6,000 bean oil contracts…Steve Georgy
Wheat: The wheat markets crashed Tuesday with the March Chicago closing limit down 60 cents and the KC closing 57 lower. The meltdown happened after the market opened higher last night after the three-day weekend. The higher open was due the oil market and metal markets that were trading sharply higher. This lent support to the entire grain complex. Then as the night trade ran its course, the markets turned lower. Then the selling accelerated during the day session until the wheat hit limit down. The selling seemed to stem from investors bailing out of long positions in attempts to reduce risk.
After the revolt against Libya's leader Muammar Gaddafi turned violent when government forces attacked protestors, investors looked to be dumping equities and grains positions and were buying metals and energies. The trade is estimating that the funds sold between 10,000 and 15,000 contracts Tuesday.
With the reversal in the market, the charts looked negative and that just added to the selling pressure. The March Chicago traded below the 100-day moving average for the first time since Dec. 1.
Additional pressure came from fears that the USDA will show big planted wheat acres in the USDA Outlook forum Thursday and Friday. On the export front, weekly inspections came in at 31.0 million bushels. This was higher than the estimate of 23.0 to 26.0 million. Egypt's GASC is seeking 55,000 tonnes of U.S. soft wheat, 60,000 tonnes of soft or milling wheat and 60,000 tonnes of hard wheat.
On the weather front, China did receive some much needed precipitation over the weekend which will help reduce some of the drought stress they are currently having. More rain will be needed as the crop comes out of the dormancy. The hard red wheat belt in the U.S. continues to miss much needed precipitation while the spring wheat areas of the country continues to get heavy snow which could cause delays to the spring wheat planting…Jim McCormick

Mary Hanafin return 'would be welcomed in FF'
FIANNA Fail leader Micheal Martin has indicated that he would welcome a return to politics by Mary Hanafin.
Mr Martin was speaking after the former minister ruled herself out of the contest for the Fianna Fail European Parliment election nomination in Dublin.
After months of consideration, Ms Hanafin said that she is "not persuaded" by a seat in the European Parliament at this particular time.
However, she insisted that she will assess her level of support in her Dun Laoghaire constituency before deciding whether to return in the future.
"I believe that in the next election in Dun Laoghaire, because it is always a barometer for the rest of country, you're not going to see the same strength attached to some candidates as you had, for example the last time," she told Newstalk.
"We'll do some polls to see what people are actually thinking and what people want," she added.
Mr Martin said: "Mary Hanafin has clearly indicated that she doesn't wish to go forward for the European (elections) but she hasn't ruled herself out of politics at all and may return to a later date. That's for the individual themselves, it's as basic and as simple as that, as it always has been," he said.
"Anybody's entitled to go forward, anybody's entitled to put their name for convention, no one's prohibited in putting their name forward and it's up to each individual to make his or her choice in terms of what they feel is best for them."
The party has been divided about the prospect of a return to politics by former ministers such as Ms Hanafin. She was among the most high-profile Fianna Fail TDs to lose their seats during the party's collapse at the 2011 General Election.

Hillary Clinton Announces Support For Gay Marriageby Free Britney at . Comments
Former Secretary of State and FLOTUS Hillary Clinton has announced her support for gay marriage in a new video for the Human Rights Campaign.
Says the 65-year-old wife of Bill Clinton:
"LGBT Americans are our colleagues, our teachers, our soldiers, our friends, our loved ones, and they are full and equal citizens and deserve the rights of citizenship."
"That includes marriage. That's why I support marriage for lesbian and gay couples. I support it personally and as a matter of policy and law."
After eight years as First Lady, followed by eight more in the U.S. Senate and four as the nation's top diplomat, Hillary stepped down this winter.
Many consider her the odds-on favorite to seek the Democratic nomination for president a second time in 2016, should she desire to do so.
What do you think: Hillary in 2016?

Bruce Lee?. There are many strategies out there for building a business online, however after spending a while reading Bruce Lee's philosophy, coupled with his many metaphors, I can see a direct correlation between what we do as online marketers and what he did as the world's most famous Martial Artist.
Be Like Water – Bruce Lee's Metaphor for Resilience.
So What Has Kung Fu Got To Do With Building a Business Online?
Kung Fu is a fairly complex series of moves, practiced over and over again, until they become strategies for defense against an attacker. Building an online business from scratch is very similar, it is a series of moves, we learn.
Once we learn certain moves in an online business, we put those moves together to form strategies. By implementing those strategies over and over again, we are able to create results. If the results are not forthcoming, we can change the strategy.
As with Kung Fu, there would be certain moves that you are good at, and others that require more practice.
The difference here, is that when learning a Martial Art like Kung Fu, you graduate through the levels over time. No one expects to become a black belt in their first month. This is where an online business and a martial art differ of course, as many people joining an online business expect to be at the "expert" level in just a few short weeks.
KRUNCH!.. "Be Water" In Your Business Online
When people "quit" learning Kung Fu, the urge to learn does not necessarily go away, people just accept that it's too hard for them. This also happens when people start out in an online business, sometimes people think it's too hard, and beyond them, so they quit.
In order to be it, don't be "sticky or blocked", be it. (See Bruce Lee's "Be Water" analogy.
The truth is, most people are capable of earning a "black belt" in a martial art, but it depends on the level of commitment and how badly you want it. It's the same with an online business. If it's more of a wish than a "must have", then a person will quit at the first sign of trouble.
The "Trick" of course, is to change tactics, not the idea.
If you look at Bruce Lee's "Be Like Water" analogy.
"Empty your mind! Be formless, shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. Put it into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put into a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow, or it can crash: Be water, my friend!"
You might ask, what does it mean?
To understand 'Be water' we should first look at Taoists and the concept of 'Wu Wei' which uses a lot of metaphors of water.
Wu Wei literally means 'not doing'. But the deeper meaning, is being calm. In the moment. Still. Like water.
This means Action without Action or Wei,Wu,Wei.
Only when the inner waters of your mind are completely calm, can you be truly natural. In sync with nature. Your own self. That is the true union of the self with the divine. When Bruce Lee talks about being water, he uses his words carefully. He doesn't say be flexible like water. He says 'Be water'!
In other words, accept yourself. Not without emotion or feeling, but without being "sticky or blocked". Stop being "like" something, be that something. In order to succeed in a business online, you need to live, breath and be that business.
The Rules of Kung Fu Marketing.
- Without commitment, you have nothing.
- Treat your online business like learning an art form, being good takes time.
- Don't give up. Change tactics.
- Be like water. Don't be "like" something. Be it.

The Lord Chancellor, Lord Falconer, has spoken out in defence of the Legal Services Bill despite a recent international backlash against some of its more controversial aspects.
Speaking to the annual Bar Conference on Saturday (4 November), Falconer said: "For the Civil and Commercial Bar, reform to the legal services market contained within the Legal Services Bill will strengthen the UK's international standing as a centre of excellence. They will be beneficial to the Bar; beneficial to UK Plc."
Falconer's speech came shortly after the German legal regulator warned firms that alternative business structures to be approved under the bill will not be regarded as legal in Germany. As revealed by The Lawyer (30 October) the Law Society is preparing to hold crisis talks with the regulator over the issue.
Falconer told the conference that 10 per cent of the legal services market comes from the bar doing international work.
He also said that the bar has to "contribute actively" to improving the court system, and told his audience that the refusal last year of some barristers to accept new publicly funded cases has "led the state to feel uneasy about sole reliance on the Bar".
However Falconer added that he did not favour a public defender system, and supported an independent bar. In response to the Bar Council's concerns about the effects of the Legal Services Bill, Falconer said that the creation of the Legal Services Board would increase consumer confidence and the independence of the profession.
Falconer concluded his speech by saying that he sometimes misses "dearly" being at the bar.

I am already struggling with an id problem for days. I have to write a program in java, using hibernate/jpa for the persistence layer and sqlserver as database (I know, java and sqlserver is not the usual combination). This program will later be externalised to other departments of the same company, who might use another database (like Oracle, MySQL,...).
What I want to accomplish is to get jpa/hibernate working on:
- databases like Oracle, using sequence
- databases like sqlServer, MySQL,... using auto-generate or identity. Between MySQL and SQLserver there is another important difference: the identity of SQLServer does not allow the id field to be filled in.
I already tried a sollution like the following example, using the table generationtype strategy, but to no avail
@Column(name = "Id", unique = true, nullable = false)
@TableGenerator(name = "appSeqStore", table = "APP_SEQ_STORE", pkColumnName = "APP_SEQ_NAME",
pkColumnValue = TableConstants.DERIVATION_TABLE + ".Id", valueColumnName = "APP_SEQ_VALUE",
initialValue = 1, allocationSize = 1)
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.TABLE, generator = "appSeqStore")
Any help is welcome,

John Mayer is thought to be preparing to pop the question to his girlfriend Katy Perry in the coming months.
John Mayer wants to marry Katy Perry.
The 35-year-old singer is reportedly planning to pop the question as soon as possible because their relationship feels so natural and he is convinced the 'Part Of Me' hitmaker is The One.
A friend told more! magazine: ''John really likes the fact that Katy is so independent and not needy and clingy like the other girls he's dated. This is the first time John's felt so strongly about a girl. She's played her cards perfectly.
''They really do bring out the best in each other. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he proposed.''
The 28-year-old brunette is also smitten with 'Your Body Is A Wonderland' singer John and thinks he could be the man for her after her heart-breaking divorce from Russell Brand last year.
She is rumoured to feel ready to settle down and start a family with John even though they have only been together for six months.
Another pal divulged: ''John has given her the confidence to jump out of the rat race. With John, she feels like herself. She wants to nest. She's gained a few pounds, is taking a much-needed break from work and perhaps is even getting her mind and body ready for pregnancy.''

Sorry, no etymologies found.
The actors who took part in this hula belonged, it is said, to the class termed hoopaa, and went through with the performance while kneeling or squatting, as has been described.
No kuu manao he wahahee na kuu wahi kahu, nolaila, kauoha ae ana wau i ka Ilamuku e hoopaa i ke kaula; aka, ua hala e ua wahi kahu nei o'u i uka o Paliuli, e ninau aku i ua wahine nei i ke kumu o kona hiki ole ana i kai ia po, me ka hai aku no hoi e make ana ia.

_Olapa_ (o-lá-pa) -- those members of a hula company who moved in the dance, as distinguished from the _hoopaa_, q. v., who sat and cantillated or played on some instrument (p. 28).
The performers, all of them hoopaa, were often placed in two rows, seated or kneeling and facing one another, thus favoring a responsive action in the use of the puíli as well as in the cantillation of the song.
One of the marionettes, for instance, points to some one in the audience; whereupon one of the _hoopaa_ asks, "What do you want?"
In this performance both the olapa and the hoopaa cantillated the mele, while the latter squatted on the floor.
As given on Kauai, both the olapa and the hoopaa took part, as they do on the
Both classes of actors took part in the performance of the hula pahu, the olapa contributing the mele as they stood and went through the motions of the dance, while the hoopaa maintained the kneeling position and operated the big drum with the left hand.
Some authorities assert that the performers in this dance were chosen from the hoopaa alone, who, it will be remembered, maintained the kneeling position, while, according to another authority, the olapa also took part in it.

When it comes to the morning-after pill, one thing is clear: Girls of any age who have unprotected sex or a birth-control mishap will soon be able to walk into a local pharmacy or big-box store and get emergency contraception without a doctor's prescription.
But many questions remain. For example, the placement and cost of the product — Plan B One-Step — might vary, depending on the store and other factors. And larger societal questions about the repercussions of easier access to emergency contraception, including its effect on behavior or unplanned pregnancies, won't be settled for years.
Before the Food and Drug Administration approved Plan B One-Step without restrictions this month, ending a decade-long battle, girls 16 and younger needed a prescription to obtain the pill. Girls 17 and older had to present proof of age to a pharmacist for the product, which was kept behind the counter.
Now, Plan B One-Step, which is made by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, will be on shelves in many stores, perhaps as early as August. CVS, for example, said the pill would be displayed in the family-planning aisle, in special security packaging. But some independent pharmacists have said they will keep the medicine behind the counter.
David Toth, owner of Tschiffely Pharmacy in Dupont Circle, said he intends to keep Plan B, which he sells for $42.50, behind the counter, along with other expensive items, to prevent shoplifting. "Anything over $20 is not going to be out front," Toth said.
And despite the FDA's decision to drop age restrictions, "if someone can't see over the counter" — as in, looks too young — he will refuse to sell it, he said.
Toth's plans complicate the easy access pushed by advocates of emergency contraception and others, who say some girls might be too inhibited to ask for a product kept behind the counter.
"Some people are too scared to buy condoms, so people might be too scared to buy Plan B as well," said Isabella Albamonte, 17, a student at the District's Woodrow Wilson High School.
Another potential barrier is the price. Teva said the cost to retail and wholesale outlets will remain unchanged, but it remains to be seen whether retailers alter what they charge consumers.
In general, Plan B has been selling for about $40 to $50, which could be out of reach for younger girls. But there is a way to get it free: Under the 2010 health-care law, insurance plans covered by the statute are required to provide all FDA-approved contraceptives at no cost — but only if the purchaser presents a prescription. Consumers buying it off the shelf will have to pay full price.
There may be another way to lower the cost without a prescription. Women's health advocates have urged that generic versions be made available on store shelves without age restrictions, along with Plan B. Among those products is Actavis's Next Choice One Dose, which sells for about $10 less than the Teva product.
But if the FDA grants Teva market exclusivity, which runs for three years, generics will remain age- and point-of-sale-restricted. Often the FDA will reward innovation — such as developing a new drug — by granting a manufacturer limited protection from competition. Teva is hopeful that it will receive such exclusivity from the FDA, but FDA says it has not made a decision.
Women can also pick up the pill at Planned Parenthood, whose more than 750 health centers carry some form of emergency contraception, and more will probably carry Plan B One Step now that it is approved, a representative said.
While the nuts-and-bolts consumer issues are worked out, a larger, long-term debate is swirling. Those who supported getting rid of the restrictions on the morning-after pill say increased availability can reduce the number of unintended pregnancies. Opponents argue that easier access to the one-dose pill will encourage girls to have unprotected sex, and they express concern about side effects.
Neither side's arguments hold much weight, says James Trussell, a Princeton University economist and an authority on emergency contraception.
On the question of safety, Trussell said: "It's definitely safer than aspirin, far safer. Nobody ever died from taking Plan B."
Although used to prevent pregnancy, Plan B does no harm to the fetus if a woman becomes pregnant despite taking it, studies have shown. There are side effects similar to those caused by regular birth-control pills, such as changes in menstrual cycle, nausea, fatigue and cramping.
To be effective, Plan B should be taken within 72 hours after unprotected sex; the sooner it is taken, the better it works. This was cited as one reason for having the drug on the shelf and readily accessible. Also, research has shown that readily available emergency contraceptives do not increase sexual recklessness.
At the same time, contrary to the view of many Plan B supporters, it won't solve the unintended pregnancy problem, Trussell said.
He said the relatively few women and girls who would even think of using emergency contraception are like a "cork on the great sea of unprotected sex out there." Over-the-counter Plan B will not have a public-health impact, he said, citing "many, many studies" that do not show lowered pregnancy or abortion rates.

Everyone from family and friends etc go through situations and issues that is part of life. We all make mistakes because it just happens, people need to be aware of family members and friends and how they deal with situations and how they treat people it usually isn't the message it is how the message is delivered and the tone of voice and the body language as to how issues get resolved without devastating other people's feelings. My Mom always said treat and talk to people how you want to be treated to some people that does not mean anything there are people who will always carry grudges no matter what forgiveness and letting go is a lot healthier. ~ Karen Minahan
Watch your words and action, watch your thoughts about somebody mistakes, think before you judge, in the first place be fair, be honest and true. Shallowness creates trouble. Talking about someone at their back is called backbiting. Never indulge in creating issues, murmurings just because of a simple mistake which could be settled. Mature – minded people will never be angry for a CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. They accept correction so don't judge. Don't be a trouble maker. PEACE! ~ Luz Marcelo
