Wednesday markets with Martin Lakos
After Tuesday's big run up, the local bourse marked time, as rallying resources offset declines in most other sectors. Andrew speaks to Martin Lakos at Macquarie Private Wealth.
ANDREW ROBERTSON, PRESENTER: Here is a story about the stock market.
After yesterday's big run-up, the local bourse ran out of steam despite a strong performance by the major miners.
Macquarie Private Wealth's Martin Lakos was watching all the action.
Martin Lakos, after yesterday's strong performance, the market couldn't follow through on it today.
MARTIN LAKOS, MACQUARIE PRIVATE WEALTH: No, a bit of a flat day, Andrew, down about eight points. What was interesting was that we saw a continuing rally out of the cyclicals, so, the resources, BHP and Rio.
And they've now rallied over 6 per cent each over the last four days, so a very strong turnaround there. But there was definitely a rotation out of the defensives, so utilities, healthcare were all much weaker today.
Interestingly also, we had the China trade data out. Now still good numbers. Exports up 10 per cent, but that compares to February of up 21. So that was a little bit weaker than expected. But imports are up 14 per cent, and that's obviously good news for the commodity producers where we'd expect that China is sucking in again coking coal, energy and also iron ore.
ANDREW ROBERTSON: Billabong shares resumed trading today. What did the price action tell us about the new lower takeover bid that's on the table?
MARTIN LAKOS: Well Andrew, the stock was 73 cents prior to this announcement before going into suspension. It closed down 19 cents today to 53. That's down 26 per cent. Now it's been a non-binding announcement, a non-binding bid of 60 cents cash, so that share price is below that level at the moment.
So the market clearly is still wanting to see more certainty on the prospects of this bid. That 60 cent cash bid is down from originally $1.10 in December. But having done due diligence on company, the two partners, Paul Naude, the ex-director - US director of Billabong, and Sycamore private equity group partners decided to reduce their interest.
ANDREW ROBERTSON: Now, a notable laggard on the market today was the healthcare sector. Is anything going on there?
MARTIN LAKOS: Yes, I'm not sure there was any specific. There weren't any specific announcements, Andrew, but it was quite interesting that all 11 constituents of the sector were down today. Again, it may well be that one, it's been a really good performing sector, particularly stocks like Ramsay Healthcare and Sonic have all done very well quite recently, amongst others.
And it may well be there's profit-taking coming in and a rotation of these funds into the more cyclical, or industrials or even into international markets.
ANDREW ROBERTSON: Well, just away from specific stocks, what are you seeing at the moment in terms of foreign money flowing into our market?
MARTIN LAKOS: Yesterday's performance, up 71 per cent's maybe a really good example, Andrew, where we are seeing some fund flows chasing higher yield. Apart from the fact that we're seeing an improvement in global economic growth and momentum, there is some talk that the Japanese investors are investing in Australia.
You've certainly seen the yen weaken off dramatically from 80 yen to 104 yen since October last year and that might be indicative that they're putting money into Australia. If that's the case, that's certainly reflective of what we see further fund flows into equity markets generally.
We're now estimating globally $450 billion this year to go into mutual equity funds alone and that's probably to the detriment of cash and bond funds as well. So there's definitely a big swing to equity markets at the moment.
ANDREW ROBERTSON: It sounds like good news for the market. Martin Lakos, thank you very much for your time.
MARTIN LAKOS: Thanks, Andrew. My pleasure, as always.

A twitter user just eviscerated Donald Trump for his immature twitter tantrum after last night's SNL episode. During the show, Alec Baldwin played Trump as a compulsive over-tweeter. The twitter user really ripped Trump a new one.
Twitter user Danielle Muscato went off on a huge twitter rant. Now, we are just waiting for Trump to respond. This is likely one of the biggest twitter rants in the history of social media.

Description: From axis deer to zebra, an estimated 230,000 or more foreign hoofed mammals live in the United States. These "exotics"--animals native to other places--can be found in Texas, Florida, New Mexico, Maryland, California, New Hampshire, Hawaii, and other states on ranches, in wildlife preserves, at safari parks, and sometimes just behind high fences or on a mountainside along the byroads of America. Featuring eighty different kinds of hoofed mammals, this field guide covers common exotics, such as blackbuck antelope and fallow deer, some less common species like scimitar-horned oryx, and a few newer arrivals like defassa waterbuck. In the introduction, author Elizabeth Cary Mungall explains how these species got here, tells where people can go to view them, and gives a few simple guidelines for responsible ownership. The main portion of the book contains fully illustrated species accounts, with native range maps and information about food habits, habitat, temperament, breeding and birth seasons, and fencing needs. A list of exotics-related organizations and a reference section round out the text. Photographs of each species make identification easy, and, in a chapter on photographing exotics, Christian Mungall shows readers how to take their own great pictures of these animals. This book is for anyone, from park visitor and zoo goer to rancher and wildlife biologist, who wants to identify and learn more about exotic wildlife in the United States.

TROUBLED ENTREPRENEUR: Stuart Karl; From Fonda and Hart To Flops and Hot Water
By RICHARD W. STEVENSON
Published: February 7, 1988
AS he walked into the Beverly Hills Hotel one day in January 1984, Stuart Karl surely felt on top of the world.
After years of struggling to get his video cassette business going, he had finally found success with his series of Jane Fonda workout exercises, leading some larger companies to ask if he might be willing to sell his. And now, as he strode toward a meeting with Patrick H. Caddell, the Democratic strategist who was then a top adviser to Gary Hart's Presidential campaign, Mr. Karl seemed to be realizing his dream of playing a role in national politics as a fund raiser for Mr. Hart.
Since that day four years ago, when Mr. Caddell made a routine request for help in raising $10,000 for the struggling Hart campaign, Mr. Karl's world has turned topsy-turvy. As he got more deeply involved in the finances of the Hart campaign and several others, Mr. Karl started raising money in a way that might have violated the law, according to two of his former employees. Their assertions, to which Mr. Karl and his lawyer, Michael Genovese, have not responded publicly, have prompted an inquiry by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and a series of newspaper articles that continue to dog Mr. Hart's 1988 campaign.
While Mr. Karl's involvement in politics has become clouded, his image as the boy wonder of the video business has evaporated in scandal. In 1984, Lorimar Telepictures Corporation bought Karl Home Video for several million dollars, allowing Mr. Karl to run the concern as a relatively autonomous subsidiary. Last March, Lorimar forced him to resign.
Lorimar has accused him in a lawsuit of misappropriating several hundred thousand dollars in a scam involving a company that he, his father and some associates set up to supply the video business with promotional materials. In court hearings last week, Lorimar asked that liens be placed on Mr. Karl's 58-foot yacht (''The Oz'') and his home in an exclusive area north of Newport Beach in Orange County, Calif., where he lives with his wife, Deborah, and their two young sons. Mr. Karl and his lawyers, who did not return telephone calls, said in court papers that Lorimar owes money to Mr. Karl and that he is considering a countersuit.
''I'm very much hoping we can concentrate on the business and not on the past,'' Mr. Karl told The Los Angeles Times last month before the reports on campaign contributions came out. ''I'm just trying to focus on making a living, keeping my family happy and having a nice comfortable life with my wife and boys.''
MR. KARL, who is now 34 years old, was one of the great entrepreneural success stories of the early 1980's. A blond-haired, perpetually smiling California surfer, he started trade magazines for purveyors of waterbeds and hot tubs before striking it rich by recognizing an emerging market for video cassettes that showed something other than movies.
To some supporters, Mr. Karl is a marketing genius whose biggest sins were naivete and inexperience in that glamorous arena where the entertainment industry, money and politics all meet.
''He may have been a little out of his league,'' said George Urch, the executive director of the Orange County Democratic Party. ''He viewed it as a game,'' said Harvey Englander, a political consultant here.
OTHERS see Mr. Karl's problems stemming from the same traits that made him a successful entrepreneur. He would work tirelessly to achieve what he wanted (he was often in his office by 5 A.M.), but did not always seem to know when he had reached the limit.
''If I had to write a book about Stuart Karl, I'd call it 'Never Enough,' ''said Rama White Middell, Mr. Karl's former executive assistant and one of those who has publicly accused him of improper campaign practices. ''He always wanted more, more of everything. He'd attain one goal and he'd be looking for the next one, the next thrill.''
His involvement with Gary Hart and other Democratic politicians, Mrs. Middell said, became the biggest thrill of all. ''My feeling with Stuart is that once he became a millionaire, he was looking for power, he was trying to buy it,'' she said. If he could help get Mr. Hart elected, ''He felt he could be a guest in the White House.''
For a while, no ambition seemed out of reach. After graduating from high school in 1971 and dropping out of a local college two years later, Mr. Karl became a waterbed salesman, and within a few years saw a market for a magazine about the waterbed business for retailers. When that publication became a modest success, he expanded by buying or starting others, including Spa & Sauna and, as the video cassette craze started, Video Store magazine.
As he learned the video business, Mr. Karl was struck by the near-total emphasis on movie tapes and what he considered a huge unmet demand for non-entertainment cassettes. In 1980, he founded Karl Home Video, which produced and marketed a wide range of non-movie tapes, including a video first-aid kit and an interview with John Lennon.
Early on, Deborah Karl suggested that he try to persuade Jane Fonda to do a video version of her exercise book. Ms. Fonda agreed. And the tapes, originally seen as just another experiment, became an enormous success.

anencephaly(57 Posts)
Hi, some of you may know that yesterday I had a termination due to anencephaly. Now I feel like I would like to find out what the chances are of this happening again
I am on a huge dose of folic acid and have been told to wait two cycles before trying again, obviously the chance of going through this again is terrifying.
I really would just love to hear from anyone who has any experience of this, and going on to trying to get pregnant again, anyone who may be further down the line than me, with any advice or information
Thank you in advance xx
Message deleted by MNHQ. Here's a link to our Talk Guidelines.
I've been following this thread recently as me and my husband lost our first baby on 1st jan 2015 due to Anencepheley. We were told at our dating scan and felt like I'd been slapped in the face! I am 38 and we had been previously referred for fertility treatment. We have been told to try again in 3 months and take 5 mg of folic acid. It was a devastating experience but me and my husband have had each other for support. Time is not on my side so I need to be focused about getting pregnant again. Just so sad it happened to us and now back to square one after several months of trying. Would be good to hear from anyone for some support :-) x
Thanks for sharing your story Jl2014. I can only imagine how much strength that would have taken. I found this thread to be particularly helpful especially in understanding more about this horrible diagnosis. I wish you the very best as you endeavour to try again. Here is hoping for a beautiful healthy baby for you in the near future.
Your story has filled me with hope too DRSLondon. I hope I can have a success story to share soon too. Thankfully work has started again and it is keeping me very busy. I am lucky to have so many supportive people around me, that I feel I can talk to about my situation any time. They have played a key part in helping me through this. I still have a long way to go but will get there. I also wish you the best for the end of your pregnancy. You are so close and I hope he/she is healthy.
I lost a baby to anencephaly in May 2013. I was 13 weeks. I had been taking FA and the doctor said it was rare and wouldn't happen again. They didn't even offer us the high dose of FA. I had to ask for it based on stuff i'd read on google. They were quite dismissive and wouldn't offer us any additional testing or explanation. I'm pretty sure they didn't believe that i'd been taking FA. After the first loss, i was desperate to try again. I was convinced that if i was pregnant before my first baby's due date (November) that it would help take the pain away. I went on the 5mg dose of FA for 2 months and fell pregnant again in the August. It was a very stressful time. I was absolutely paranoid- eating spinach, brocolli, seeds, anything high in folate. I stopped using plastic tupperware and wouldn't even go into the kitchen if the microwave was on incase any of those things would increase the risk of a birth defect. I lived in a bubble.
In October at the 12 week scan I got the terrible news again that the 2nd baby also had anencephaly. So I ended up losing 2 babies before the November. I found this extremely difficult to deal with. I was so sad and so so angry. We were referred to a geneticist after this (at my insistence). They had no answers either. They have suggested that whatever kind of anencephaly that is affecting us exhibits a recessive inheritance pattern combined with some kind of environmental influence. In short, they don't know and there's nothing they can do for us but there is a reasonable chance it will happen again.
It was a very very dark time; I literally don't know how I got through it. I realise now that for me trying again so soon was just sticking a plaster over a big gaping wound and that I hadn't allowed myself enough time to grieve for the first baby. I was just powering through, tunnel visioned. So much of what people on this post have said resonates with me. Some of these stories are like reading about my own experience.
Since i lost my 1st baby, within my group of friends there have been 14 healthy babies born. All uneventful pregnancies. I have felt so isolated and sometimes i'm just tired of being happy for other people. Sorry I know that sounds bad :S
It's not a success story for me (yet) in as much as i haven't tried again for another baby. It's taken me a very long time (a bit over 18 months) but i finally feel myself again. I went to some bereavement counselling last year (long overdue) and i can't tell you how much that helped. I would highly recommend it for anyone struggling to deal with the roller coaster of emotions that comes with this diagnosis. I initially tried to cope with this myself which in hindsight was not the best thing for me. I'm hoping to try again soon and I'm going to take inositol supplements as well as the 5mg FA this time to see if that helps.
Hi there
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I had the same thing happen last March and I was absolutely devastated. I waited 3 months and took the 5 mg of folic acid. I avoided the sun (which depletes your reserves and ate a high folic acid diet. Despite everyone telling me it was unlikely to happen twice I was a nervous wreck. The thought of it happening again was beyond frightening.
Thankfully we are pregnant again and all seems to be well and we had an excellent consultant at UCH London giving us extra scans and reassurance. I am now 33 weeks. I won't believe it will be ok until the baby is safely in my arms.
I know it seems like a frightening emotional rollercoaster but try to be positive/brave and distract yourself as best as you can while you wait.
Best of luck
I am looking for some hope too jard32. I had a scan at 12 weeks about 6 months ago. I was given the awful news that the baby had no heartbeat and had stopped growing at 10 weeks. Then Monday just gone, I had another 12 weeks scan. I had more hope that the pregnancy was fine and that the baby was going to be healthy. I was still nervous though. I watched the radiologist start the scan and then her facial expressions changed. I looked at her and asked if she was going to give us bad news and she said I'm afraid so. The baby had anencephaly. I am on 5mg of folic acid now and hoping to try again soon as I chose to TFMR. The most heartbreaking decision I have ever had to make. I am looking for success stories too to help me through this particularly difficult time. I too am hoping to have a sibling for my gorgeous dd who is 2 in March. I can imagine that it's going to be hard to not be nervous for the next scan and will probably walk on eggshells for 20 weeks until I get the all clear from the 20 weeks scan.
Hi, I know this discussion was a while back but I'm wondered how things worked out for you? I terminated at 13 weeks for anencephaly in June this year, and last fri 19 dec I had an 12 week scan for another pregnancy and the heart had stopper beating at 9 weeks and it was due to anencephaly again.
We have a 3 and a half year old perfect child so I'm really freaked out. I can't believe we're going through this again, I'm so angry. And I've just read the odds for having it happen again go up massively if it's happened twice.
We so desperately want a sibling for our daughter, she asks all the time which is very difficult for us.
hello ladies
i have had 2 anencephaly pregnancies.
the first pregnancy was a surprise, so i didnt start taking FA till about 5 weeks. the pregnancy was very easy, no morning sickness or anything. for some reason i had a gut feeling that something is wrong, it was just too smooth. at our 12 weeks scan we got told that the baby didnt form a skull. we were so heartbroken and shocked. the doctor explained to us that it could be due to not taking enough FA but reassured us that it wont happen again.
i straight away started taking 5mg of folic acid after the termination. after my first period we got pregnant again. we were over the moon. this time around i was getting morning sickness and was feeling all the effets. but it didnt bother me because in my head i knew something good was happening. yesterday we had out 12 week scan and we got the bad news again. our baby was online 10 week+3 and also had anencephaly. at the moment i'm not sure how i feel. i am angry. my doctor said this is very rare and he doesnt have an answer for me. i have my termination next week, more tests will be done during that. i am not scared it will happen next time we get pregnant. does anyone have any advice on what i should do. or where i can get some more information if this will happen again. we want a baby more then anything and i dont know if i can handle more or this pain.
Bit of an update DRS - my daughter has been referred back to the gynae consultant that carried out her termination. Talk of Provera & Clomid has also been mentioned. The Doc prescribed Provera to try and kick start her periods. She has to wait a week or two to see the consultant but maybe she will know more after she has seen him - fingers crossed.
Hi DRSLondon,
So sorry to hear that your have suffered the heartbreaking decision not to continue with a much wanted pregnancy.
Thank you so much for replying. She did contact the gynecologist that carried out her surgery who didn't seem overly concerned that her periods hadn't returned. But yes I think you are right, she needs to take control and arrange a consultation as soon as possible. The longer it goes on the more it is pulling her down.
It seems that women she knows are announcing their pregnancies on a daily basis at the moment which she finds particularly painful and hard to bear.
I hope you things are getting better for you.
Good luck Sweetie xxx
Hi Denise
I had a similar experience in March but with a termination for spina bifida at 20 weeks. I also was heartbroken and desperate to be pregnant again.
I can imagine how frustrated she is and how consuming it is. Although it is normal for periods to be delayed she should go see a gynaecologist. The GP won't do an examination. I had my pregnancy through IVF and the clinic were able to check my uterus. If she is still bleeding from the termination it is possible there is tissue that needs to be removed.
It is also possible that the stress is causing her body to behave differently, but I realise that is not particularly helpful.
She's lucky to have a mum like you. It will get better for her.
Sending her lots of luck xxxx
Hello Ladies,
I realise this thread is over a year old, but I wonder if anyone is able to offer me some advice. My daughter who is 25 had a 12 week scan on 22 July this year when it was discovered the baby had ancephaly so she had a surgical termination on 28th July. She was and is heartbroken and wants to ttc as soon as possible.
The problem is 9 weeks on she still hasn't had a period, is this normal? she has been back to the doctor who quite frankly wasn't very clued up, but we had read about Provera to help restart her periods so he prescribed that but not taken it yet. She is constantly doing ovulation tests as she says she feels she needs to fall pregnant again to be able to move on, but the results are all over the place with these and I dont understand how she can ovulate but not be having periods!
As her Mum I am desperately worried about her and want to help her as much as possible which is why I have posted on here. It seems like she is stuck in limbo and so sad just wondered if any of you could help at all?
That must have been heartbreaking tantrums, I can't imagine what you've been through. Thank you for talking to me.
That was meant to say hope to get a positive attitude the end of September so we can announce at Christmas and be pregnant on what would have been our due date. Have already spent nearly 6 months of this year pregnant so would love to be going into 2014 with a healthy pregnancy
Kirrin, that's good to know, I was told the standard advice is two cycles, more to do with dating, and physical recovery than folic acid or risk of it happening again. We have decided we are happy to try after one cycle, seeing as it will still take us to two months post termination on the small chance of it happening straight away.
Fingers crossed for everyone hoping to be pregnant this year and for healthy pregnancies to those of you who are already
My friend invited me to meet her baby today, and I had to explain to her that I can't be around her gorgeous little newborn right now, and it wouldn't be right of me to go around upset at such an amazing time for her family. She seemed okay but I hope she understands. Xx
you've already had lots of great advice but I just wanted to add that I was only told too wait one month before trying again. I have since had two healthy pregnancies, which were nerve wracking but uneventful.
best of luck to you
rant away, it's very helpful I find! I have a friend who was due the same day as me. I haven't seen her yet and her baby is now 2 months old. I just can't. I've sent her messages and commented on facebook photos but I can do that from home and have a good cry afterwards!
It does get easier but sometimes I still feel so sad. What gets me cross is acquaintances asking when I'm going to have a second child- after a while of feeling angry/sad afterwards I've started educating them
We named the baby, and as you've seen I refer to him as DC2, which may seem silly to some but I want to acknowledge he was there, even though he couldn't have lived. I have a candle and a picture in the living room- not a scan pic, I find that too upsetting as it takes me back to the scan and following days, but a picture DH and I chose to remember him by. We are hopefully moving house soon (fingers crossed), so didn't want plants but I may do that in our new house.
Also hoping for a happy Christmas announcement- for you and me both! x
No idea at all. I had a scan at 16 weeks, they thought that the baby was in an awkward position so I had to come back the next day. Had the scan the next day and the consultant confirmed that it was anencephaly.
I went into hospital 2 days later, had to give birth to the little one.
But no, no idea anything was wrong, I even took my older DCs to the scan.
Thanks everyone for replying and talking to me. I'm quite stoic about what's happened and the choices we've made. I'm also quite positive about trying again in another cycles time and hoping for a positive pregnancy experience next time. I've just had a bit of moping time these last couple of days and wallowed in it a bit.
I can't stop thinking of the fact that I'll always remember these dates, easter Sunday and the day the royal baby was born will always come around next year if you know what I mean?
We went to the garden centre with my older girls so they could choose trees and plants to plant for the baby. I felt that they needed a way to acknowledge their own loss having told them before the 12 week mark.
Hoping to be pregnant again come the end of sequences, so fingers crossed for a happy Christmas announcement after the 12 week scan etc xx
Tantrums, can I ask, did they have any idea something was wrong before the 17 week mark for you? So sorry you've also experienced this xx
I know you have had some great advice here, just wanted to send lots of luck and best wishes.
I had 2 healthy pregnancies, the third was terminated at 17 weeks due to anencephaly. We then went on to have ds2 a year after the termination. I was told by my consultant that it was quite rare, the chances of it happening again and I had quite a lot of early care in the first 12 weeks.
*both due dates
I relate to ldt87 and Happy.
We remember every noth due dates that were never realized and both termination dates.
We decided to do something, try and get some closure, even say goodby if you will. To some that might sound a little silly considering the babies were never born, we never knew them etc. But there's a bond in my eyes from the moment you find out your expecting.
We took some Chinese lanterns on the first anniversay of each termination and let them go in a beautiful place overlooking london very near to where we live. We played a bit of music and had a beer each (so sophisticated lol) and shed a little tear. But that helped us deal with our losses like you wouldn't believe. I can;t even explain it. Just an idea xx
Just want to say I am so sorry you are going through this. I remember all those feelings that come up when others are pregnant around you. Even though it was over three years ago for me, I can still tell you exactly who at work etc (even celebrities!) had babies around the time my lost baby was due. It ate away at me.
Please be gentle on yourself - its ok to feel sad and I think it is part of the grieving process. (I know these words can't take away your pain -I just can really relate to what you are going through).
That should say I expected the test to already be negative xx
Hi roses, struggling tonight. 2 friends of mine had babies on Friday, so that's all over Facebook. I'm over the moon for them, but hurting for myself. I took a test yesterday which came up positive instantly which really threw me. They said leave it two weeks though so it's my own fault really. I expected it to be positive.
My first lost baby would have been due in October so I feel that due date getting closer now as more and more of the pregnant people I know are bringing their babies home. I was consoled by the fact I was pregnant again and had a new due date. Now I just have two losses, two dates looming when I won't have my baby. And I don't know when I will have a baby, which is so hard.
People say oh next time will be your time and I just feel like screaming that actually I waited 18 months to get pregnant in the first place, had 2 and a half months of one pregnancy, 3 months of another, two losses, and I've had almost 6 months of pregnancy with nothing to show for it. I feel like I've actually waited and been patient as it is.
I have also been preached at by someone very anti abortion this weekend so overall I'm feeling pretty bloody sorry for myself and angry at everyone else for not knowing how I feel!
Sorry for ranting, how are you roses? Xx
missed the replies to this. Dusty that's interesting. The tests on DS2 came back with a small deletion- the genetic consultant plus others were very interested in it. However they have said it is unrelated to the acrania- at least, there is no other documented case of that specific deletion and acrania.
The possibly significant bit in my first post wasn't very clear- they were interested as the few studied genes included could have huge implications on the cardiovascular system, and heart disease etc runs in DH's family, so I think the genetics team got a bit excited they might have a case to study! They did suggest that DS2 may have had big problems because of this deletion, if he had been otherwise healthy. It was really helpful to know and helped with the healing.
Funny you say you had a feeling things weren't right with your 3rd pregnancy storm, I did too. I'd mc before and was convinced it was going wrong even when I had awful morning sickness as with DS1 and got past the 8/9 week mark (when I'd mc before).
How are you doing ldt?
Oh absolutely, having a baby is worth the heart ache along the way. We never expected these difficulties and I said the other day that by the time we bring a baby home it will be spoilt rotten being so long awaited!
No need to apologise, I am soaking all of this information up like a sponge lol.

The last few weeks have been pretty rough for me. My wife divorced me out of the blue because she found another lover, which happened to be one of my colleagues, which made my depression reach a whole new type of low like I've never experienced before. We have been together for over 10 years and she still cheated on me with a man I used to call my friend. I still can't believe it now, honestly. I did everything I ever could to support her and love her, tried to fulfill her every wish, and she still decided to treat me like garbage and left me for another man. A man I used to trust and talked about the problems me and her were currently facing, at that. I was just... hurt and betrayed.
Because of this whole mess I became very apathetic, irritated and unfocused at my job, which, as a welder, was a dangerous state to be in. I made more stupid mistakes in 1 week than ever in my entire career; completely forgot to put my helmet on on multiple occasions, randomly dropped parts when I was daydreaming, and I even almost caused a fire once when I accidentally left the flame on in my mental absence. Needless to say that I got fired, understandably. I can't even fault my boss for that one, as much of a jerk as he can be.
Since I lost my only source of income, and needed to support myself in some shape or form, I needed to kick myself and my mental illness in the ass and get another job, logically. It wouldn't be too hard, I told myself.
Luckily, a tiny fastfood restaurant downtown searched for new employees after a lot of them suddenly quit apparently, which was a great chance for me to get back onto my feet. I don't think I need to mention that that job would've paid less money than I would've gotten if I would've tried to get another job as a welder, but in my state, I didn't want to touch a job where I could accidentally harm others if just one little mishap happened, for a long time. The restaurant was not too far away, but I had to take the subway to go to work every time I had a shift, which wasn't too bad, since I've gotten used to it when I always drove to my old workplace. So, one day I decided to give it a short visit and apply for the job.
The application process went fairly well. I instantly hit it off with my new boss, an old man in his 70s. He seemed sort of senile, forgot my name 30 seconds after I have told him, but otherwise really sympathetic and overall a nice person to work with. He even sort of treated me like his own grandson only minutes after the first meeting, which weirded me out at first, but slowly grew on me as sort of soothing, like I was talking to my actual grandpa. That's just the kind of aura he gave off.
He told me that even though the establishment was fairly small, it was also fairly old, having been built in the early 50s. Apparently he wasn't the original owner of the place though, but took over after "he" retired. I didn't know who "he" was, but I assumed he was either an even older man enjoying the evening of his life on the Bahamas, or already dead. Honestly, I didn't care that much at the time to ask for the tiny details, and my boss was way too talkative as is, so I saved those questions for later and let him show me around.
My new colleagues were nice as well, mostly teens applied for a summer job here to make a quick buck or two. They were pretty much like what you'd think people who work at a place like this were like, rather friendly with a lot of patience. The old man was really popular with the kids as well, even helping them with their homework when it was lunch break.
However, I did notice someone who stood out from the crowd. A pale teenage girl with long black hair, bags under her eyes, and a tired, cloudy gaze. When working, all I saw her do was fiddling with her clothes, and biting her nails like she was nervous. I honestly couldn't find out what was wrong with her. I tried talking to her, but whenever I did, she just mumbled something I couldn't understand no matter how closely I listened, and went back to work. She also had this weird, skin-crawling habit of scratching herself all over her body, mostly her neck for some reason. First I thought it was just a bad habit, but on some days she showed up with her whole neck completely covered in red, the skin all irritated. I did try to mention that to her a few more times, told her this habit couldn't be healthy, but she did her usual mumbling routine and went back to ignoring me. Eventually I realized that trying to talk to her was completely in vain, that she was probably just kind of a weirdo or in a bad mental state like me.
Another colleague of mine told me that she apparently wasn't always like this. She only started behaving this way about two weeks ago at the time, which I found really... odd. I wondered what caused the sudden change, so I tried asking around further, but the other co-workers didn't seem to know much more than that, since they only know her from work. Even the old man didn't seem to know, even though he supposedly was really close with his employees. Seemed like I wasn't the only one who was really worried about this girl.
A few days later though, I messed up my shift schedule, and drove to work when I actually had a nightshift that day. However, when I realized this fact, and was just about to turn back to go back home and ponder over my own stupidity, I saw through the glass window of the backdoor that the pale girl had the morning shift, and was working at the cash register. There weren't any customers yet since it was so early in the morning though, meaning that she was just standing behind the counter, just scratching herself in an agonizing fashion, mumbling the same thing over and over, walking back and forth, restlessly.
I was starting to get really nosy and pressed my ear against the backdoor to eavesdrop. Her mumbling got louder and louder to the point where it gradually evolved into chanting, like a mantra of pain. The words suddenly became clearer as they rang in my ears.
"It itches.... It itches....... Please, make it stop itching......"
She started scratching harder and harder, to the point where her sharp nails finally tore her flesh, leaving her fingernails tainted with a crimson red. She was breathing heavily, hoping for the sweet release that she hoped would overcome her by scarring her flesh violently, but she only became more and more desperate. Her whole body shook, repeating the mantra over and over while her fingers tore deeper into her skin, turning her whole neck into a bloody, pulpy mess. I was in shock when I saw this, I didn't even know how to react to this kind of self-mutilation. I just stood there, listening to the girl's despair-filled pleas, and watching the blood slowly drip down her neck and onto her uniform, until I finally took action, and tried to grab her to finally stop his mess.
She instantly panicked, releasing her neck and trying to focus on fighting the force that was me holding her tight from behind. Like an escaped mental patient, she was kicking and screaming, being more emotional than I have ever witnessed her being before. The desperate girl tried to hit me with her bloody fists as some sort of last effort; her screams became ear-deafening as she still chanted the same phrase over and over.
Eventually, like I suspected, she became tired, and her screams turned into quiet sobbing. I felt sorry for the girl, having finally snapped from whatever mental torment she has endured for who knows how long, and for the breakdown to be this... bloody and violent. I made sure to immediately call an ambulance to tend to her wound, and they quickly arrived and took her to the hospital.
At that time, the old man has arrived at the restaurant, being alarmed by hearing the ambulance sirens in the distance. He sprinted over to me when I was standing outside, watching the ambulance car drive off into the distance, like his age didn't matter at all in that moment. He frantically asked me what happened, and I told him the whole story. For a moment he went quiet, looking down in a thoughtful manner, as if he was lost in thoughts. Then, a few moments later, he looked up at me once again, smiling weakly, and responded:
"Ah, I see... Thanks sonny, you can go home now. I'll handle this."
"I'll handle this", he said. I couldn't help it, but, I had the feeling like for some reason, he knew something I didn't. Maybe it was just my paranoia, but I couldn't shake off this weird feeling I had. It's not like I suspect that the old man lied to me, he isn't the kind of person who'd do that sort of thing in such a serious situation, but things still felt... odd. Like he was hiding something from me.
After some pondering on my end, I did end up going back home like normal eventually, preparing for my actual nightshift. I was worried about the girl's wellbeing, but I also couldn't just neglect work to make my head hurt by thinking about something I didn't know the answer to. It seemed like the best option was to wait and visit the girl in the hospital when her wounds were fully treated, although the doctors might've put her in a straight jacket or otherwise disable her hands so that she couldn't scratch her neck like that again in the near future. Even though I tried to ignore the odd sensation in the back of my mind, I couldn't stop thinking about the incident the whole day, until I eventually fell asleep from exhaustion.
In the evening, I finally went out for the night shift, packing my uniform and my lunch to prepare for the following night. I went to the usual subway station, at my usual place, waiting for the clock to strike 10, as always. Besides me there didn't seem to be anyone there, which was sort of strange, since usually I had at least 10 people taking the subway alongside me, even on really quiet business days, but I didn't linger on it. I supposed it was just one of those days, the ones where you just take a subway into the smaller part of town, all alone.
The air was really chilly for some unexplainable reason, even though the station wasn't even located outside. Even when I zipped my parka all the way to the top, I was still freezing, like I was loafing around outside on a December noon. It was strange; waiting for the subway, all alone, having a lone chill running down your spine. Even stranger was that the subway seemed to take its time that night, to the point where I repeatedly casted my eyes down to my watch to check if I didn't miss it already. I ended up waiting about half an hour in that eerie atmosphere, beginning to scratch my scalp. The whole station was dark and empty, basked in a somber light, with only me desperately waiting for my train, all alone.
After one whole HOUR of waiting, I had enough. I wasn't taking much more of this, I didn't care that I would've missed work, I didn't care that I probably would've disappointed my boss; I was not going to stay at that creepy station any longer. I honestly couldn't care less at that point, so I was just about to get the hell out of there.
Suddenly, I heard a sound.
The sound of something... crawling?
I quickly turned around to where the sound came from, only to be faced by total darkness. The lights seemed to be broken, keeping about one quarter of the subway shrowded by a black void, or so it felt like.
The cold running down my spine intensified even further, making me more and more paranoid, heightening all my senses. Another cold wind blew into my face, with no indication to where it could have come from. I bit my lip, still not having moved an inch after making my decision to leave, completely stuck in place. The remaining lights in the station flickered, leaving it completely dark for a fraction of a second every now and then. I stayed calm, and tried to head towards the subway exit as soon as possible to just finally get out of there.
Another sound.
Barely audible screeching.
My casual walk to the exit quickly evolved into a faster jog, and all of the sudden I found myself running. I couldn't take this anymore. Just let me go home.
The sounds became louder.
I was running as fast as humanly possible, not stopping for anything in the world. Or that I thought.
I felt a presence behind me. I turned around to see... something in the darkest part of the station, with the occasional spark of light giving away their position.
It wore a thick, multi-layered cloak, as if it had a blanket wrapped around its entire body. It was slightly hunched over, posture completely numb, with its liveless arms hanging about. I couldn't make out its face even when the lights flickered, even when I sternly focused on doing so.
It didn't move a single inch no matter how long I stared at it, it's like it was glued to its position. However, its huge, bumpy silhouette kept shifting in a wave-like motion, like something under its skin kept moving. The creature didn't say a single word, just watching me from afar, as if it was watching out for my every next step. Suddenly, the whole room was filled with a nauseating, foul stench that made me sick to my stomach, quickly spreading across the station like a wildfire. All the sounds I could make out however were heavy breathing and the sound of the gnashing of teeth. It sounded like it was both frustrated and even in pain.
No, there was another sound. Suddenly there was a wet 'fhlop', like something fell on the ground. The sound rang through the whole station, and immediately I frantically tried to see where it came from, looking in every direction.
And then I saw it.
Next to the horrid creature, something... started moving.
A big, wet lump, writhing in its own fluids, looking and sounding like it seeks the relieving embrace of death. I tried to hold back my gag reflex, but ultimately failed as I was forced to swallow the disgusting waste that almost got pushed back up my throat. I couldn't make out what the lump was at this distance, but honestly, I didn't want to find out.
But then, out of the blue, I also felt a strange, light pressure on my left foot. I swallowed, almost panicking, and I looked down, afraid of what I would see.
It was a gigantuous maggot trying to climb up my leg. It didn't have any feet, but instead pressed itself against my knee, spreading its sticky fluids all over it, hanging onto dear life. Once again I tried to suppress the desire the puke, but this time it didn't seem like I had any control over my own body anymore. I felt sick to my stomach.
I wiped the vomit off the corners off my mouth, kicked the maggot off my leg and ran, I ran like I have never run before in my entire life. My breathing became irregular and my skin crawled at every step, my whole body feeling like it was about to burst into a thousand pieces. My heart couldn't keep up with pumping enough blood into my body it seemed; I started feeling nauseous, like I would trip and fall at any given moment. I persevered, however, trying not to lose my mind, and sprinting to the exit as fast as I could.
The exit was just in sight, the cold wind again shaking my body. Behind me I only heard one 'fhlop' after the next, sloppy sounds merging with one another, until they became one. I never stopped once to turn around to see what was behind me, all I could hear was wet noises, accompanied by ear-piercing screeching, screams of despair. The stench and the noises got worse and worse, like the creatures were right behind me, ready to tap me on the shoulder. I sped up even more, reaching a velocity that I didn't know I was capable of.
"It itches."
"Make it stop."
"Kill me."
The screams got even louder. I couldn't stand it anymore. I held my ears shut with the palms of my hands, hoping for them to be stop, but the deafening screams got even louder.
Like they were inside my ears all along.
My skin began to crawl even harder, I had to resist sinking my nails in my skin that very moment, and my mind went blank, only thinking of escaping the hell. Breathing intensified when I seemed to have reached the exit, not stopping when I dashed through the underground tunnel. I needed to get out of there. I wanted to go home.
With every second that passed, the noises gradually became quieter, finally. They seemed to have given up on chasing me, but I still didn't dare to look back. Maybe they were still behind me, but not giving away their presence this time around. The feeling under my skin never vanished. I ended up running straight back to my apartment, for who knows how many kilometers, but I didn't care. My body felt like it was on fire all the way through, but I couldn't risk to get caught by whatever may have been still chasing me.
I couldn't believe what I saw that night. I still can't believe it. At this very moment I am still shaking when trying to memorize this night's events. My flesh, irritated, turning a harsh, reddish tone. No matter how much I try tearing at it, it is all over my body. My arms, my legs, my torso, my head. After a few days of locking myself in my small apartment, my nails have seem to have gotten sharper and sharper in my mind, making it easier to gnawl at my now crimson body, yet the sweet release never comes. I tried cheesegraters, knives, everything, but all they did was destroy it even further, polluting every fiber of my being with my now viscous, worm-ridden substance that was once my blood. The maggots seeming to grow bigger and bigger the longer and harder I scratched, first pouring out of my bloodstream and continuing to spread over my entire body, sucking me of my essence. I just wanted it to stop.
The worms didn't have a conscience of their own, all they did was relieve me of the fluids pouring out of my torn-up veins. They have no mentality, no alliance; all they seem to live for is to survive off of me. No matter how many I tried to get rid of, they kept coming and coming, like a neverending loop. Even now i can feel them moving underneath my skin.
No matter what I did and tried, all that was left was me craving for more. More pain so that the feeling would finally stop, an even more intense sensation so the pain would be blurred out. A sensation that even beats the prior ones, so that I can finally think straight again.
I don't think I can go to work ever again.
Not with this itch.

Sometimes all it takes is to ask. Be persistent, too. Often a guy feels weird coming straight out and talking about his feelings. (Feelings aren't manly!) However, if you push hard enough, he'll tell you. Pay attention to his tone of voice. That could be the only sign he's not hurt. Just make him feel comfortable, and you should have no problem. Best of luck!
if you ask too much though, he might think he's supposed to have hurt feelings, or he might get upset that you didn't believe him the first time he told you he was okay. so there are some problems that might arise with being persistent. you should know your guy, so just do what feels/seems good.
Get a clue, if you have to ask this question, you know the answer. He's hurt. And he is probably not talking to you or talking very much.

This wonderful set continues to provide some of the most transcendental pianism that I've ever heard. I was staggered by the performance of Strauss' Burleske, it is stupendous, and I've never heard better, nor indeed as good. The reason for the anonymity of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra was down to RCA releasing it on their Camden label, they felt that it would be embarrassing for the artists were their names to appear on a bargain label, so orchestras were given fictitious names, and conductors and soloists omitted!! At any rate this is a superb performance, as is the Weber work on the same disc. The Albeniz is extremely well played and Arrau's Debussy is always a joy, he really understood the French master. The remastering of the recordings leave nothing to be desired, and thus far (I'm now just half way through the 12 cds) this set can be confidently recommended.

Antonin Dvorak: The Noonday Witch Op.108, Symphony No.8 Op.88
Claudio Abbado & the Berliner Philhamoniker
Whilst I am awaiting the arrival of my order of Rusalka, I have decided to dip into Dvorak's orchestral output with this Symphonic Poem, performed magnificently by Abbado & the Berliner Philharmoniker. I have not really listened to the tone poems very often so this is a most pleasant surprise.
The Symphony is excellent and the performance here does the piece justice.
I had forgotten just how much I enjoy Dvorak's music. When the time comes to revise my list of preferred Composers, Dvorak will be making a compelling case to make the top 10 or top 11 on joint position with Brahms.

Tess Daly and Vernon Kay 'working through' text dating scandalPosted on: March 4, 2010 16:51:48
It does not look as though there will be any text dating or extramarital affairs for Vernon Kay, as his wife Tess Daly has claimed that the couple are trying to make their marriage work.
The model turned TV presenter was recently found to have been sending explicit messages to a string of women, including page three model Rhian Sugden.
However, it has been reported that the couple, who have two young daughters named Phoebe and Amber, are trying to work through this tricky patch in their marriage.
Daly, who is the face of lingerie shop La Senza, told the Daily Mirror: "The past few weeks have been tough, but we're working through it. I've been really touched by the support from the public and it feels great being back at work."
She added that she has been inspired by the solid marriages that both of their parents have.

Are you in a relationship with a foreign citizen? Maybe she (or he) came to the United States as a tourist, student, or a temporary worker. Maybe you met the person during an international trip, or on the internet. You fell in love. And then you got married.
From that day on your spouse, still a foreign national, has more legal rights than you do. A foreign-born spouse who has read about the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) may know that:
- A claim of abuse ensures free legal assistance and invokes federal laws prohibiting the person's removal from the United States.
- The police may arrest the alleged abuser without any physical evidence.
- Immigration laws allow false accusers to receive welfare benefits and financial aid during the processing of their petition.
Surprisingly, the law does not require the accused to be informed of the charge, so the person is often unaware that an allegation has been made. Even more amazing, if the accused should become aware of the charge, this person is considered by law to be a "prohibited source," and not allowed to submit any evidence that may refute the accusation.
If your immigrant spouse files a false accusation of domestic violence, you'll need to get a good divorce attorney – see "The Immigrant False Accuser: What Do I Need to Do?"

Talk to Usposted on 1/2015 By:
Bands/artists, if you would like to submit music for possible review at Last Rites, please send us a direct message through our Facebook page. The message must contain three items:
• A link to an official band website or page on Facebook, Bandcamp, etc. Must be able to glean bio/style from this.
• A link to a download of the album you wish to see covered (via a Bandcamp code, Dropbox link, or other standard forms of transmittal). Links to streams will be ignored.
• A contact email address.
You may or may not hear back from us. We are all very busy people with lots of things to do outside of Last Rites. Plus, we have an endless promo stream to attend to. Know that we will give your music a shot, but if it is not covered, pestering us about it is probably not the best idea.
Last Rites is always interested in adding enthusiastic, quality writers. The application process is simple. Send us three sample reviews: one of an album you love, one of an album you hate, and one of a power metal album (seriously). Slap these all into a Dropbox folder and send a link to us via Facebook message.
We generally look for the following qualities in writers:
• Those with a deep knowledge of the history and a hunger for varying styles of heavy metal.
• No agendas. Last Rites is not looking for those that view blogging as some sort of step up the internet ladder. If we get even the slightest whiff of "tastemaker" stink, you'll be shown the door quicker than you can play "You Suffer."
• Ultimately, honesty and an eternal love for metal and music. We like our writers to still be fans.
Please keep in mind that we can afford to be picky. If we like what we read, we will contact you. If you do not hear back from us, that's probably not a good sign. Initial veto does not mean you cannot try again, however, so keep honing your style.
We hope to hear from many of you in one way or another. If not these, get loud commenting on articles and reviews. We always like being told how wrong we are. Cheers.

Dhaka (AFP) June 04, 2014
Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is likely to seek Chinese funding to build a deep sea port in the Bay of Bengal when she visits Beijing later this week, officials said Wednesday.
The proposed port on Sonadia Island off Bangladesh's southeast coast would cost billions of dollars, but Bangladeshi newspapers have reported that Hasina hopes Beijing will pay part of the bill if a Chinese firm wins the contract.
The country's foreign ministry said the port would feature in the bilateral discussions when Hasina travels to China on Friday on a six-day visit.
"During the tour the two nations may discuss Chinese assistance for the Sonadia Deep Sea Port," Foreign Minister Mahmood Ali told journalists on Wednesday at a briefing two days ahead of Hasina's departure for Beijing.
Another senior official in the prime minister's office confirmed that the port project was expected to feature in discussions although he wouldn't say whether any kind of deal would be signed.
The country's largest circulation Bengali daily, Prothom Alo, has reported that state-owned China Harbour is in line to build the port.
It said an announcement to this effect would be made after the meeting between Hasina and her Chinese counterpart Li Keqiang on June 9.
A framework agreement, proposed by China, to construct the port could be signed during the tour, it said.
Hasina was keen to award the project to Chinese firms in 2009-14 when she led a coalition government, but held back for fear of upsetting India, a major ally of her government.
If a Chinese company were to be awarded the contract, Sonadia would become the fourth port to be constructed by a Chinese firm in the Bay of Bengal, deepening Beijing's footprint on one of the important sea routes of the world.
Chinese companies have previously built ports in Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Myanmar.
Bangladeshi experts said the country badly needs a deep sea port after years of double-digit expansion of its foreign trade. Dhaka's economy has grown six percent a year for more than a decade.
Dhaka's annual trade through its two sea ports currently stands at around $60 billion.
The trip to Beijing will be Hasina's second major overseas trip since she retained power in a January general election which was marred by widespread fraud and an opposition boycott. Last month she visited Japan.

The Takeover of American Industry
Published: May 28, 1989
(Page 3 of 3)
Furthermore, they say, American companies have operated a vast network of international subsidiaries for years, and thus it is hypocritical to decry foreign acquisitions and investment in the United States.
''If Japanese companies are investing in the United States and creating jobs, why do we care if they are making life tougher for American companies who are creating jobs in Singapore?'' said Michael G. Borrus, deputy director of the Berkeley Roundtable on International Economy, a group of economics and political science professors that debates economic and technology policy. ''To the extent that a Honda is committed to doing more and more in the United States and creating high-wage jobs, there is no reason we should be concerned about ownership.''
Other economists say that new foreign owners have preserved jobs that would have been eliminated by American companies forced to close without new infusions of cash. But the jobs issue is not clear-cut.
Mr. Glickman, the co-author of ''The New Competitors,'' believes that the importance of foreign investment in creating new jobs has been overstated.
''In 1986, for example, of all the new jobs attributed to foreign payrolls, 97 percent of those were through mergers and acquisitions and 3 percent came through new plants or expansions,'' he said in an interview. ''It's not so much that new jobs are being created, but that the ownership has shifted.'' Of the 55,000 new jobs created between 1984 and 1986, he said, foreigners contributed only 1 percent. Changing the Competition
Some companies, particularly those competing head on with the new foreign-owned companies, fear that the new foreign money has radically disrupted the competitive playing field. ''We recognize that the foreign-owned company will do whatever it takes to compete in the United States,'' said the president of one American tire company who asked not to be identified. ''They will spend any amount on new-product development and research. Well, we are fairly research-driven, too. But there's always that question in the back of your mind: Will we be able to keep up over the long haul?''
Although the new foreign money may have corrected strategic mistakes made by previous American owners, it sets up a situation that is basically unfair, these critics say. ''Firestone for years failed to invest in the way they should have, and they get picked by Bridgestone and became a major power,'' the company president said. But, he added, American companies would probably not be able to go to Bridgestone's home turf and do the same thing. ''Could we go in and buy a Japanese tire company that easily? I doubt it. I know that that's business, but it doesn't seem fair.''
Alan D. Halliburton, a vice president of Texas Industries Inc., a major American-owned cement producer in Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi, said executives at his company are adamant in their free-trade philosophy on foreign investment, but their attitude about trade policy has hardened.
''We'd like to be able to go into another country and sell cement,'' he said. ''But we're not able to do that because of stringent laws foreign countries enforce. We think the trade laws of this country should be enforced to a greater extent than they are.''
As the debate intensifies between those calling for protectionism and others welcoming new foreign investors, the passions seem destined to mount. Yet many people - in business, in academia and on Main Street - are torn between the two.
''We are of two minds as a nation,'' said Professor Reich of Harvard. ''On the one hand, we want the investment, the jobs that are created and preserved, and we are delighted when foreigners undertake research and development here.''
But at the same time, he said: ''We are frightened by the prospect of foreigners owning the United States. We don't trust foreigners to treat us as well and act as responsibly as American owners. We worry abut national security and dependence on foreigners who control critical technologies.''
But several things seem clear. As the United States sinks deeper into debt and the threat of recession looms, both views are becoming more pronounced - and growing more vehement. And the level of foreign investment in companies here seems certain to rise in coming years. Analysts say those investments seem likely to forever alter the competitive dynamics in American industry and reshape the way industry and competition are perceived here and abroad.
