Moses gave some sermons to the children of Israel, as they prepared to finally enter the promised land. After reminding them of the commandments, statutes, and ordinances contained in what we know to be the law of Moses, they made a covenant with the Lord, to keep this law. The message to the Israelites continues as follows:
1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.
3 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
4 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
5 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.
6 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
7 The Lord shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.
8 The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
9 The Lord shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways.
10 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the Lord; and they shall be afraid of thee.
11 And the Lord shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
12 The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.
13 And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:
14 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
If the Israelites were obedient to the commandments, the Lord would bless them above all the nations. God would bless them in abundance in their cities and in their fields. People, animals, and crops within their land would multiply in abundance. The blessing of the Lord, such as blessings of safety, would be upon them as they journeyed and as they remained in their own land. Their enemies would be destroyed or scattered by the Lord. They would be blessed with rain in its season, in such abundance, that they would be able to give to others and never need to borrow from them. In all things physical or temporal, the people would be blessed. Likewise, they would be blessed to be the people of the Lord if they remembered to keep His word. Others would fear them, as the people of the Lord, so long as they stayed on the straight and narrow path given to them by the Lord through the prophet Moses.
Just as there are blessings promised for being obedient, there are curses promised for being disobedient.
15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:
16 Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.
17 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store.
18 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
19 Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
20 The Lord shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.
21 The Lord shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it.
22 The Lord shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish.
23 And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron.
24 The Lord shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
The promise was that disobedience would bring a curse upon their land and fields. Their harvest would be cursed, they would have a cursing in the increase of people, animals, and crops. They would not have God's blessing when they went to other lands, and they would not have it in their own land either. All things they worked to do, would be cursed until they perished due to their own wicked choices. They would be cursed with pestilence, sicknesses, wars and fighting, and mildew until their death. Also, the Lord would curse them to not receive rain from heaven, but power and dust. I am imagining that instead of rain, their would be dust and sand storms.
25 The Lord shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
26 And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away.
27 The Lord will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed.
28 The Lord shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart:
29 And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee.
The curses continue, with their enemies being able to destroy and scatter them throughout the earth. They would be cursed with incurable diseases, madness and blindness. They would be cursed with oppression without deliverance.
30 Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof.
31 Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them.
32 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long: and there shall be no might in thine hand.
33 The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:
34 So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
If they were disobedient, they would be cursed to loose their wives, homes and vineyards to other men and nations. Their flocks and other animals, would be removed from them and they would not be able to retrieve them. Their children would be taken from them and they would mourn all the time for them, being helpless in preventing it from happening. All that they had been blessed with, would be taken and destroyed, which would bring them great heartache and madness.
35 The Lord shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head.
36 The Lord shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone.
37 And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the Lord shall lead thee.
38 Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it.
39 Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them.
40 Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast his fruit.
41 Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity.
42 All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.
43 The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.
44 He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.
Another curse the disobedient would receive, was an incurable botch (like leprosy or boils) would inflict them over their entire body. Other nations would rule over them and force them to serve other gods, just as they had done in the land of Egypt. Other nations would know the Israelites for the curses that had come upon them. Their punishments would then stand as an example to all the world, of what happens when the covenant people disobey the Lord. Additionally, they would work much harder, and not see the fruits of their labor because of locusts, worms, bad fruit and so on. Their children would be taken into captivity and others would take from them without allowing them to borrow in their need.
45 Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:
46 And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.
47 Because thou servedst not the Lord thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;
48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the Lord shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.
The Israelites would only have these curses if they would not hearken to the Lord and keep the law they had received by covenant. The results of this, would be carried with their people forever. They would be cursed for failing to serve the Lord and appreciate the many blessings that they would receive. Instead of great things, they would be forced to serve their enemies and remain in some type of bondage until they were destroyed.
49 The Lord shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;
50 A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young:
51 And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.
52 And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the Lord thy God hath given thee.
A nation would be brought against them, or the Lord would allow a fierce nation, to come against them. This nation would not show any favor to the old or young, but would take all their animals and crops until the Israelites had no more for themselves. The Israelites and their kingdom, would be destroyed by this fierce nation.
53 And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the Lord thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee:
54 So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave:
55 So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.
56 The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,
57 And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.
The curse continues with a promise that they would eat their own children, because of the enemies that would come against them. Therefore, they would have cause to hate and fear one another, even those they had loved. Likewise, their wives would hate and fear their husbands and children.
58 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD;
59 Then the Lord will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.
60 Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.
61 Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the Lord bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
62 And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the Lord thy God.
63 And it shall come to pass, that as the Lord rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the Lord will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.
64 And the Lord shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.
65 And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the Lord shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:
66 And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:
67 In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
68 And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
The Israelites would have reason to truly fear God, if they chose a life of disobedience to the law. The promised curses of plagues and sicknesses would last a long time, for them and the generations which followed. Things that they had worried about in the land of Egypt, would afflict them sorely until their destruction came. Instead of being numbered as the stars, they would dwindle to just a few souls. If they were disobedient, they would be scattered across the earth, where they would serve all the false gods of the world. They would never find peace or rest where they were, but would feel awful things, such as sorrow and fear for their lives. The Lord would allow them to return to the physical bondage they were in before while in Egypt.
I find it interesting that the portion that teaches the simple, yet amazing blessings for being obedient, is so much shorter then the description of the awful things that awaited their disobedience. I think that it requires a greater faith and hope in the possibility of the promised blessings, and so less description requires that individuals seek harder and more diligently to recognize these righteous blessings in their lives. It would have been hard to miss noticing the results of their disobedience. Sadly, the Israelites struggled to remain faithful to their covenants, and these curses eventually came upon them to their own destruction.
We are not immune to these things in our own day. The promises of great blessings that are given to those who make covenants with the Lord today, only hold for those who are obedient. When we choose to be disobedient, negative and destructive consequences will follow. Sometimes, we fail to see the consequences of our own choice to be disobedient to the laws of God. It may be easier, to place the blame of our problems on others, instead of seeing the results of our own choices. I think this is part of why a strong foundation in the gospel is so important, because there is a chance we might then recognize how we bring things upon ourselves. Hopefully, then we can make the necessary changes by turning back to God, repenting of our sins, and trying harder to live his law each day. I am so grateful for the countless blessings that the Lord has given me and my family. I know that in trying to do what is right, and in following the promptings of the spirit, we have been blessed beyond what we thought possible. I watch loved ones suffer from the consequences of poor choices, and my heart aches for them to understand what they could be blessed with if they turned back to the Lord. I know that it is possible for all people to be a happier, more blessed and peaceful people, if the Lord's commandments would be followed more fully.

Some might recall that I cleared (in 1993) a factory that used to made uniforms and caps for over many years. It was called Indian Caps Antwerp.I have been selling many of it over all those years, but I have still got some remains...
They used to work for the Germans during the war, but most of those die's where sold rather quickly, allong with the machines. I didn't had any intrest in collecting militaria at that time.
The warehouse I have now has to be moved, so here I am again with all that stuff to move. The plan was to sort it out, but more things got in front of them over all that time.
I ll give you some pic's of what it all is from time to time, when I get tyred of the job.
To start, here is part of the die to make,so I think, the metal kokarde of the Dutch pre-war cap.

Here is what the kokarde need to look like;

Brace yourselves, people. This is going to be a long post, because I have so many things to talk about. Fascinating things! Such fascinating things, in fact, that they will have be in list format for fear of overwhelming me (and you) with their sheer powers of fascination. (I'm sorry if this post is very boring - I feel slightly like an awards show presenter giving a rather A-List introduction to a star who is definitely lower B-List at best.)
Oh well, you should be used to it.
1. NaNoWriYeahNah
I'm thinking that I might do NaNoWriMo again this year. This is a slightly mental idea because for the first two weeks of November I'll be working and the show will be on, then for the last two weeks I was planning to quit my job and go on holiday. (Although staff party is at the end of November, and it would be nice to go out with a bang (not literally (ok, fine, literally.)))
Main reason am dithering over NaNoWriMo is that I can't think of anything to write about. I briefly thought about doing some Serious Literary Fiction (oo-er), but this nice idea was somewhat spoilt by my complete inability to take myself seriously.
I'm currently struggling with the climax and/or ending of existing novel (which is mid-edit) because it has to be semi-serious...last time something serious was meant to be happening, my main character became distracted and went into a long and completely unrelated digression about eggs. Why did he do that? I don't know. I keep trying to take out the eggs, and yet the eggs come back. Even if I manage to get rid of Inappropriate Egg Digression, character unintentionally uses a word in the wrong context, creating very witty dick joke.
Obviously there is no way something totally serious would keep me entertained for a month.
So I figure I am going to have to write something semi-serious. It can be like one of those two-layer chocolates. But not really. Chocolates are not always the best metaphor. Suggestions welcome (for novel or better metaphor, I don't mind).
2. My Lack of Internet Celebrity
I wonder how people get to be internet celebrities? Probably they just have more interesting blogs than me - by which I mean they have a more interesting blog than I do. (Although multiple interesting blogs would probably also help.) (God I am so tired.) But no, that can't be right, because some famous-on-the-internet blogs are simply terrible.
Sigh - I am not a meme. ("I wanna be a meeeeme! When I grow up, I wanna be an Internet meeeme!")
I can't be a meme, I don't even have a blogroll! I do not like the term blogroll. I think from now on I'll write 'blogroll,' not blogroll, in much the same way as I am insisting on calling 6am 'new 6am' and making little quotation marks with my fingers in that irritating way that people do. (Daylight savings was yesterday. 5am is the new 6am, and I am very bitter about this.)
3. My Cough And Ribs (a complaint, feel free to skip)
My ribs are still sore, and I am still coughing a lot. In addition to the cough, I have developed a wheeze! I was going to treat you to a little poem about the wheeze and the sneeze and some other things of that (phonetic) nature, but then I realised that a) I would be ripping off A.A. Milne and b) I would be ripping off Joe Bennett and c) none of you unartistic bastards would appreciate it anyway.
4. Learning About Serious Phrases
I have been learning about Serious Phrases. It turns out that there are Serious Phrases To Take Seriously ("we have to pay the power bill," "I love you (sober usage)"), Serious Phrases You Can Ignore ("you need to buy toilet paper," "I love you (non-sober usage)") and Serious Phrases you Should Have Taken Seriously, but Didn't ("do not drink whilst taking this medication.")
Found a Word file today (hilariously titled 'do not drink whilst yeah whatever') which appears to consist completely of random, disjointed thoughts. Many of which trail off in the middle, or change subject entirely -
5. Now I have nothing to put here.
I just thought I was being kinda clever, there. And now I feel like I should not start sentences with 'and,' but also that I should have something witty and sophisticated to write here instead of just random sentences to make this paragraph look like something with an actual point to it and not just something to fill up space, which it is. I am sorry that this is not a pithy observation of society. Right now I am very tired and not very pithy at all.

I always think of a blogroll as being something like a drumroll. But less exciting. Or more? Can't decide.
YOU SHOULD DO NANOWRIMO. There's no way I'm doing it by myself. If you don't do it you will be a BAD FRIEND.
See how I slipped that little smiley in there? I'm being Good Cop Bad Cop all on my own.

Catfish feels the love
Published 4:00 am, Sunday, June 13, 1999
OAKLAND - It was one of those moments that is almost impossible to re-create adequately in print.
Near the end of a press conference Saturday before he was honored with a "day" at the Coliseum, Jim "Catfish" Hunter was asked how he was doing in his fight with ALS, which has robbed him of the use of his arms.
"There's no cure for it," the Hall of Fame pitcher said.
"But I know God can do it. That's the only way we can go. Turn to family, friends, whatever. You've got to keep on going. You can't stop. I'm not going to stop."
He was the only one sitting now, tears welling in his eyes, as all the other people in the room - family, friends, former teammates, media - started applauding and then rose in a spontaneous salute to his spirit.
When the program ended, one of his ex-A's teammates, infielder Dick Green, said, "He's a special person. It's his integrity, his honesty. That's why we're here today. You always knew exactly where you stood with Cat. He never beat around the bush about anything. Whatever he called it, that was it."
Mike Epstein, who also played here with Hunter, said,
"It's more than a high regard we have for him, it's love. This is a real man here. He was an ox. Tough. So to have something like this hit him, it puts you in touch with your own mortality."
Jim Pagliaroni, who caught Hunter's perfect game against the Twins in May of 1968, gave the keynote speech at another "day" for the former pitcher in Hunter's home of Hertford, N.C., last month.
"There were 7,000 people there and they were all talking about Jimmy the man, not Jimmy the ballplayer," Pagliaroni said. "A 90-year-old woman in a walker came up to me and said, "I was Jimmy's teacher. He was a good boy, and he's a good man.' "
Pagliaroni also spoke of Hunter's utter dependability.
"Some people show up and do what's expected of them," he said. "They're accountable. You look at Tom Seaver, Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale. They showed up even if their arms were sore, or whatever, because they were accountable. Guys like that deal with what's dealt them. Jimmy is in that class."
The familiar names of the A's championship teams of the '70s were nearly all there to share Hunter's day on Saturday.
Jackson, Bert Campaneris, Epstein, broadcaster Monte Moore, Ray Fosse, Pagliaroni, Green, Joe Rudi and John
"Blue Moon" Odom were alongside him at the press conference, and nearby were ex-Yankee teammate Graig Nettles, and late A's owner Charlie Finley's son, David, and cousin Carl.
Vida Blue and Rick Monday showed up for the on-the-field activities that followed. Rollie Fingers, Ken Holtzman and Billy North all sent letters.
There were plenty of fluctuations in mood Saturday. The 53-year-old Hunter tossed in several friendly barbs at his former teammates (When Epstein arrived, late, he said, "Was it a Jewish holiday?" ), but also had trouble keeping his emotions in check at times.
Until he got onto the field he graced so notably for seven seasons between 1968 and 1974, that is.
There, as usual, he was in total command.
He was chauffeured around the rim of the outfield to home plate in a 1965 Mustang, along with his wife Helen, and 3-year-old grandson Taylor.
The A's presented him with a $20,000 check from their Community Fund for the newly formed Jim "Catfish" Hunter ALS Foundation (contributions may be sent to P.O. Box 47, Hertford, N.C., 27944). Mark Reiman - himself a victim of Lou Gehrig's Disease - then movingly sang the national anthem.
Soon after, Hunter took the microphone and in an unwavering voice said, "It seems like only 10 years ago I was out here pitching and giving up those home runs. But at least I was throwing strikes, and that's what it takes to win."
Then he recalled a saying he found in his locker upon joining the A's when they were still located in Kansas City - "Winning isn't everything, but wanting to is."
"And that's what I'm going to do," he said. "If you want to win something, you've got to work for it."
Hunter then turned things over to grandson Taylor, who, showing his granddad's genes, adeptly threw out the first pitch (actually three or four of them). Catfish Hunter just stood off to one side, and beamed.<

The price of property is constantly on the rise and it is often a fact that buying a home for investment or for residential purpose seems a distant dream with one's personal and available funds. Here is where a home loan comes to the rescue. It is the best way to meet the shortfall of financial resources while buying your own home.
With everything available online, applying for a loan is as easy as a cake walk. But it isn't the end of the story as the application may get rejected for various reasons. The bank may find low potentiality in your application which adds to their NPA or non-performing assets on the basis of which your application is liable to get rejected. There are various parameters of calculating an applicant's non- repayment potential.
Let's have a look at the factors which may either dismiss or endorse your loan application:
- The Age Factor:
Based on your age, the potential of borrowing is considered. Generally, people with age nearing to retirement have high risks of getting rejected. So older the applicant is the more difficult it is to sanction a loan with an extended period of 25-30 years. Most lenders prefer people in their middle ages with a stable monthly income.
- How much can you borrow?
Loan approval is done only after the company has total confidence on your repayment capabilities based on your monthly income. Also if you already have an outstanding loan or liability to your name then the bank calculates your repayment potential accordingly. The sum is deducted from the monthly income and then the potential is calculated. This ensures that your fixed obligation to income ratio doesn't cross more than 50%.
One way you can increase your borrowing potential is by adding any of your family members as a co-applicant, provided the person is employed with a stable monthly income.
- A good credit score
Like a report card, this provides information about your repayment defaults and misses of loans and credit card bills. Nowadays, most of the banks and lenders pay importance to the credit score to evaluate the percentage of risk in lending money to a person.
If your credit score is low, then consider working towards it. You have to clear all bigger loans and bills before you can apply for a home loan.
- Non-payment of utility bills and others
A multi-layered scrutiny is carried by the banks and lending companies for an applicant. If any delay is found in paying electricity bills, other utility bills etc then the borrowing potential is lowered. Delays in credit card repayment and EMI are also considered here.
- Job stability
The job stability of a person plays a significant role while achieving a loan approval. In this case, a person who has been in a job for two to three years in favoured over someone who has changed too many jobs frequently.
- Builder reputation plays a major role
Opting for a property must be backed by proper background check of the builder's reputation in the market and legal documents. Properties with good resale value, reputed builder are few factors that the lending company looks for.
- Keep all important documents ready
The documents required should be readily available defaulting which directly will lead to rejection. Keep all documents genuine and ready. KYC details, proofs of income, updated bank statements are the documents compulsory to be provided along with your application.
The above factors are ought to be kept in mind while applying for a home loan, Remember, if you get rejected then take time to reapply.

I recently visited the Science Centre at the Centre for Life (CfL) for the first time (yes, those who live at Heaven's gate get there last) with my Science Communication class. We were given an inside view of what they do and how the CfL functions.
We were shown round by a Public Engagement Officer who explained to us that the CfL is an education charity with funding sourced primarily from rent paid by the various organisations which are tenants in the buildings. That's besides revenue from ticket sales and for services offered.
The Centre puts on loads of engaging events for all age groups; there's what seemed like a magician's theatre where they hold exciting shows showcasing scientific experiments. They even do experiments for schools, at very affordable prices, which are part of their students' assessments.
There's a museum-like display area about life: past, present and future, and interesting set-ups of everything from infrared (heat-vision) cameras to sand sculpture stands, so you can really get your hands dirty. They also have exhibitions which change periodically; now it's about dinosaurs with quite realistic dinosaur models.
There are job opportunities in science communication at the CfL, ranging from work as a Science Explainer, who explains science to visitors and even goes out to schools, to Science Communication Manager who has responsibility for organising exhibitions and has managerial duties.
The CfL is a fun place to spend an afternoon alone or with friends and family. Do visit.
Until next time, Ciao.

Rākau Roroa/ Tall Trees
The Lived Experience Leaders Initiative
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Rākau Roroa initiative?
The Rākau Roroa initiative is run by Changing Minds and funded through the Like Minds, Like Mine programme.
This initiative aims to create and maintain a network of confident, competent and capable leaders, who are prominent and visible in our local and national communities and earn public respect by being credible, authentic and honest about their mental health struggles and strengths.
Is this a Like Minds, Like Mine initiative or a National Depression Initiative?
It supports both programmes.
Rākau Roroa is being created to support the aims and messaging of both the Like Minds, Like Mine and National Depression Initiative (NDI) programmes. This initiative supports the aims of both programmes – ending stigma and discrimination and encouraging conversations to increase support and help-seeking. Leaders will be able to identify with one or both programmes and will be supported to use their experiential wisdom to counter discrimination and encourage help-seeking as part of the activities they engage in.
Why the name Rākau Roroa?
In discussions with Changing Minds Kaumātua (Ngāti Whātua) and our Māori partners, the name Rākau Roroa emerged which roughly translates as Tall Trees.
This has connotations of the strength, resilience and leadership of people with lived experience rising from the roots to the branches of our whenua connecting and supporting one another to grow.
It also helps to name the various stages of the project and reflect progression and growth beyond the current contract scope, for example;
Will this initiative be a repeat of past work like the "Speakers Bureau"?
New Zealand's Lived Experience movement has a rich and vibrant history of initiatives such as the "Speakers Bureau", "Speak Your Mind" and "First Voices".
We are learning from the magic of the past – from the strengths as well as the weaknesses. The "Speakers Bureau" is just one of the incarnations we are looking at for what worked well and where we can improve.
The Rākau Roroa initiative, however, is much broader than public-speaking. Providing more opportunities for people from all walks of life and industries who have a lived experience to use their wisdom and the wisdom of others to address discrimination and encourage helping-seeking in their communities, locally, culturally or demographically.
The initiative will identify people with existing skills, connections and project ideas and provide them with the right knowledge, messages and support to counter discrimination and encourage help-seeking within their field of interest.
How does this initiative fit in with "First Voices"?
In 2015, Peerzone, Kites and Mind and Body co-developed a pilot training for Like Minds, Like Mine providers called "First Voices". This pilot was well received and the evidence gathered from participants suggested that the training helped those working on the Like Minds, Like Mine programme feel confident and competent in using the wisdom of their experience to carry out their community projects.
As this intellectual property was created for the Like Minds, Like Mine programme, and is owned by HPA, we will be able to learn from and build upon the core competencies of "First Voices" amongst other previous Like Minds, Like Mine and NDI training resources to develop the training components of the Rākau Roroa initiative.
Being able to use the learnings from "First Voices" and other evidence based programmes will ensure we don't re-invent the wheel, but refer to, learn from and refine, taking into consideration the wider target audiences and activities of our lived experience leaders.
How will this initiative link to other anti-stigma and discrimination projects?
Anti-stigma and discrimination education and community projects will be funded by one of two new funds. A small grants fund for local community events and initiatives will be set up early in 2018. It is envisioned that trained lived experience leaders will be involved in education and community activity that is managed by other providers.
How will Rākau Roroa maintain a 'grassroots' focus and ensure grassroots voices are key drivers?
The Rākau Roroa initiative aims to include people with lived experience of mental distress from many walks of life, not just those already working in peer roles.
Of key importance will be the recruitment, support and training processes that participants are involved in as they become part of the Rākau Roroa whānau.
To make this as 'grassroots' focused as possible, Changing Minds have committed to a co-design process to set up these three fundamental processes.
What is Co-design?
Co-design reflects a fundamental change in traditional service design, and is a new approach to programme design.
Rather than the traditional model of the funder designing the programme in isolation from the communities in which it will be delivered, co-design ensures that fundamental processes are designed by those at grassroots level.
Changing Minds are committed to ensuring the co-design philosophy is maintained for design, development and improvement throughout the duration of the initiative.
Changing Minds will work in partnership with Subject Matter Experts to ensure that communication reach is as extensive as possible to include grassroots consumers through a transparent process where people from our extended networks may watch the process online, and feed into it at any point, while we, the programme coordinators, ensure that progress is always forward-moving.
Does the Rākau Roroa initiative include addictions?
People with addictions are not specifically a priority area for the Like Minds, Like Mine and National Depression Initiative programmes.
In saying that, we are aware that mental health and addictions often do not sit as separate experiences and the programme will be inclusive.
There will be opportunities over the duration of the project to provide sector information which identifies gaps and opportunities for the future.
Rākau Roroa Faciliators/Mentors/Tall Trees questions:
1. What is the course outline?
The course is comprised of 7 modules – exploring stigma, discrimination, and wellbeing.
2. What are the expected outcomes from the programme? E.g. How will those trained use the new skills?
We are hoping that most applicants will bring their own ideas of how to apply these skills in their own communities using the skills and passions they bring to the programme. Be it as a public speaker, an artist, a musician, a workplace policy maker or anything! It is not for us to dictate what you do with your knowledge, only that you have the confidence and skills to be grounded in the core messages based on best practice that reduce stigma and discrimination and increase help seeking and inclusion.
Some may in the future go into a pool of people that Like Minds, Like Mine and the National Depression Initiative call on to represent us in the media, and some may go on to support others, but most will use their knowledge and be supported to run the projects they want to.
3. Is the course designed to just offer new skills and set up a network for those trained or is there an ongoing expectation that there will be ongoing work in our communities?
Yes (We hope so – but that work is up to the participant and what they want to do, their mentor can guide them and there may be project funding they can apply for in the future)
If so, will this work be organised through Rākau Roroa and will the person therefore become an employee and/or contracted?
No – outside the roles of Facilitator, mentor or Tall Tree (trainee/participant/champion)
4. Will there be ongoing remuneration available for the ongoing work people do?
No, however they will have more information and mentoring around applying for grants and funding relevant to their own projects, and if they continue on to do work on behalf of Rākau Roroa, NDI or LMLM they will be remunerated.
5. What are the implications around conflicts of interest for someone who is already employed in a Peer organisation that is most likely funded by the DHB? Especially around the expectations of ongoing work? And also promoting a paradigm shift in mental health services?
We see an alignment and no real conflicts of interest, particularly for people in peer positions. They may pass on their knowledge to help the peer relationship for example, and it contributes to the consumer paradigm-shift movement by enabling lived experience leaders to come together and speak with one voice nationally. We do ask participants however to fill out a conflict of interest disclosure and speak to their own employers about the programme which we feel will add to their professional development.
How do I get involved?
Expressions of interest for Rākau Roroa are open now! You can apply to be a part of this new mental health initiative. More info and to apply go to – www.changingminds.org.nz/rakauroroa

Anyway, yesterday morning was the worst of the whole week. Chloe was a wreak because she didn't take a nap the previous day and woke up an hour early that morning. She was grumpy and fussy all morning and refused to eat breakfast. I was taking the kids over to my parent's house before my sister's piano recital. Matt was doing supervision with one of his employees at the house and they always talk about confidential stuff so I always leave the house with the kids, ever since the kids were so loud the first time that they couldn't concentrate even though we were upstairs. So away we went to my parents who live about 20 minutes away. Chloe threw a fit because Matt didn't put on her shoes for her, which was weird since she is totally a Mommy's girl and usually I have to do everything and she gets upset if Matt does something. She cried all the way to my parents house and fortunately calmed down when we arrived. But then we went to my sister's piano recital, they ran around the room for 30 minutes before it began and then I could only get them to be quite about 5 minutes. Then they were being so disruptive the piano teacher who put the whole thing on had to ask us to leave. I was so embarrassed and I had to stand out in the hall while my sister played. Combined with being really tired I was not in a good mood. Of course neither of the kids wanted to sleep when we got home but at least they sat and watched a movie.
After so much stress my usually coping mechanism was to go eat and those brownies I made for Matt the night before that I had stayed out of were calling to me. All I wanted to do was sit down at the table with about 10 of those gooey chocolatey brownies and dig in and eat away my stress. Instead I texted a friend and ate a string cheese and drank a diet Pepsi since it was 11:00 by that time and I hadn't eaten a snack yet. I was proud of myself, I usually can't resist stress eating, it's one of my greatest downfalls.
Just a little while later we packed up and headed out to my Inlaws house which is about an hour and 15 minutes away. They received more snow than we did, although we received plenty, and since they live on the side of a mountain, Matt decided to bring his skis and do a little skiing in his parents backyard. I took a video of him, he was pretty excited to be skiing powder for the first time all winter.
I brought my nail stuff up to my Inlaws and did my sister in laws nails and my mother in law's nails. My sister in law chose white nails with some black stamps, I have a plate that has Chinese symbols on it and she picked out the yin yang symbol along with love, tiger, and courage, then a Japanese bird looking thing for the thumb and a bow jewel for her ring finger. I never would have thought to do something like that but the overall effect was pretty neat. My mother in law picked out a shimmery orange with a shimmery green accent nail, then I put jewels on the top across her thumb and ring finger. By the time I was doing my mother in laws nails I was so tired and my contacts were really bothering me, my hands were shaking and I ended up blobbing the top coat everywhere. Given my state of mind I'm surprised that the top coat was the only coat I messed up. It didn't really affect the manicure but I did get it all over her fingers which doesn't feel good in the LED light and of course can cause premature peeling of the polish.
Inbetween my sister in law and my mother in law's nails we went in the pool which was freezing cold, but the kids didn't seem to mind. They got a new zip line they installed where you can stand at the top of the stairs and zipline into the pool. It was pretty cool, but you have to hold on in a chin up position and I could barely hold on. I wonder now if I had to hold the chin up position and if I could have just extended my arms, it was hard to keep my arms flexed during the ride. I guess if you fall off it would be into the pool and that wouldn't be too bad. I only had the energy to do it twice.
Normally at my inlaws house I eat tons of chips but I was so occupied with doing nails and swimming in the pool that I didn't have a chance to eat any chips. I also skipped dessert which is another victory for me. So yesterday turned out to be a really good food day for me. I came home and crashed as soon as I finished adding up points from the facebook group. Fortunately the kids had fallen asleep on the way home.
This morning I checked my weight and I am 153.2! I'm down 2.8 pounds from Tuesday's weigh in. And I've been eating about 1,900 calories a day! It's because I've gotten in so much physical activity that I can eat that much food. I didn't track everything yesterday, but I was probably closer to 1700. I didn't track dinner. Today is Fast Sunday so as long as I can keep today in check I should be good to go for my weigh in on Tuesday to post to the group! I am only .4 pounds away from my recent lowest since I gained the weight back of 152.8, after I break through that I will feel like I am really on my way for good.

Netherlands-Japan and Ghana-Australia are in the books, and Cameroon-Denmark coming up at 11:30 (on ABC).
Meanwhile, this piece of World Cup news in from the Associated Press:
Nicolas Anelka has been thrown out of France's World Cup squad after insulting coach Raymond Domenech and refusing to apologize, the French football federation said Saturday.
The Chelsea striker reportedly made obscene comments to Domenech at halftime during the 2-0 loss to Mexico on Thursday, and then refused to apologize when asked to do so by FFF president Jean-Pierre Escalettes.
"Faced by the refusal of the player to publicly apologize, he (Escalettes) took the decision in total agreement with the coach and the official members of the delegation present in Knysna to exclude Nicolas Anelka from the squad," the FFF said in a statement. "He will leave the French team camp this evening."

Hey guys!
So as you may have seen in my last post or my YouTube video, I went to Winnipeg yesterday to try and find a place to live for school and find a job! Unfortunately the places I found online weren't the best, but luckily I knew someone who was renovating their basement and I think I will end up living with them! It's in a beautiful location in Winnipeg, a 10 minute drive to the University and super close to one of the main malls 😏 it's definitely a bit too much over my budget but I figure if I can get a serving job at a nice place I should be ok!
I wasn't just on business out there, my mom and I also had some fun! We went shopping and I got so many workout clothes 😍 I went to the Adidas outlet and got these leggings
They are soooooo comfy and breathable! 💦 I also got some more from Urban Planet buuuuttttt if you want to see those one's you will have to watch my video on YouTube tomorrow! 😏
If I wasn't trying to scrimp and save every penny now that I know where I would be living I MIGHT have bought something at LuLu Lemon but folks, I'm just not that rich.
The new video will be up tomorrow, Thanks to everybody who subscribed and watched 😊
Your fellow human,

The Diet Solution Program that was launched in 2007 experienced quick growth along with plenty of interest though there have been issues with the business part of the program
Online PR News – 18-September-2011 – – The Diet Solution Program that was launched in 2007 experienced quick growth along with plenty of interest though there have been issues with the business part of the program and the review on this program that is available at thedietsolutionprogram-exposed.org addresses a number of issues that it has faced. The website is an online informational guide that was created by Vander Inc. in August 2010 with a view to provide informational services to publishers of Ezine, owners of websites, etc. The program offered an USD 47 instant download link that was clearly meant for the ebook per the presentation regarding the program and not for a physical book and as one of the biggest complaints made were regarding the lack of delivery, this misunderstanding has been clearly addressed in the review.
Though the footage in the video has an image of a book, customers are given a high quality PDF that they can download and this lead to a lot of confusion that was justified because the customers were hoping to receive what was advertised in the presentation. Many people have reported that they were happy with the diet and weight loss program because they did not make the infomercial style advertising and downloaded the ebook PDFs. With scores of diet programs being launched every other day, it has become quite challenging for people to pick a suitable diet plan that meets all their needs and requirements. The Diet Solution Program teaches people about foods that burn fat and are ideal for consumption and also about those foods that trap and the fat and need to be avoided at all costs and all this information is personalized and customized because it is based on the specific body type.
Once people determine their type, they are given a list of foods and meals that they can eat without any restrictions on their calorie and carbohydrate intake and it is all about eating the right food that suits their metabolism. Determining the body type is possible through a 10 page survey booked that takes around fifteen minutes to complete.

Okay, I found something worse than having major dental work. NBC's coverage of Wimbledon. I think it would actually be better to just not cover it at all. There is a real channel that covers this event, which used to be HBO, but I fear those days are over. I think now it is ESPN2, or another sports mega channel. NBC, for some reason, continues to broadcast tape delayed junk, or at least attempts to do it, but ONLY on the weekends.
Coupled with this alarming style of coverage is their incessant need to seemingly ONLY show American players, who in most situations, are NOT the best players in the game. If you are talking hardcourt, US Open, I can see trying to focus on the American players, but anytime you leave this tournament, head across the pond and find yourself on a "natural" surface, you can bet there are other players that should be being featured.
So, when I see NBC is "ramping up their coverage" I know it will be a two day old Serena match, where she is pounding someone. Or, Roddick, playing his baseball style, game, which is about a serve an brute force. Occassionally, they will give you a taste of Federer or Nadal, just because they HAVE TO, seeing as they are head and shoulders above anyone else playing the game.
I'm not saying that supporting the US players shouldnt' be done, not by a long shot, but you have to decide who you are targeting, tennis fans or the "casual" fan, an elusive bugger who has popped up in recent years and is demanding much attention.
So get with it NBC, take a stand. The Tour de France is coming up, and the networks here do the same thing. Painful, organ music, coffee filters over the lens and talk of "destiny" and "man vs mountain." If you want to know what is happening, real time, you gotta go to Verses where instead of buying coffee filters and organs they put a guy on a motorcycle with a camera.

Having keywords, whether long-tailed or not, who has a high ranking in SERP is a blessing that is unmatched for any online business. Everyone who runs an online business would want to be on the top page of Google.
However, quite a number of online businesses are suffering from the update of Google algorithms such as E-bay where their rankings are dropping on Google. Not close the possibility of more and more online businesses that suffer the same fate.
The fact is most small companies will never have a good ranking on Google and they are wasting their time only focusing on the SERP. The days that remind us of David who defeated Goliath are nothing more than mere memories.
If you do not have the budget to create content and build back links better than your competitors, you will never beat them in the search result. If you are a newcomer to an already crowded niche or a lot of players, you will need a long time.
Instead of spending energy worrying and afraid of not getting traffic from Google, immediately find a way out. Do not rely on only one traffic flow, you need some traffic flow that can bring more visitors to your site and also as a protection from renewal algorithmic search engine in the future.
Here are 10 best ways to generate traffic without Google:
1. Blog Comments:
There are many top-notch blogs in your niche that get hundreds and even thousands of visitors every day. The most appropriate way to comment on a blog is to read the writing as a whole and if you are something useful or useful, give a comment.
The purpose of commenting is not to include links, but add value to a conversation and grow your network. Use your real name, some readers will definitely click your profile to get to know you further.
Tip: if you have content on your site related to that post, use the URL as a link. This is much better than you enter a link from the homepage of your site.
2. Content Aggregator:
Create great content and Google will reward you with traffic, right? Maybe, if you have a trusted website, established, and authority. However, what if your blog or website just created? The trick is to enter your content in aggregate content known, where many people will see it.
Some well-known aggregator content:
Alltop is a collection of various blogs or online magazine sites on the internet
BizSugar.com is a community of small businesses and entrepreneurs.
Growth Hacker is a community of online marketing techniques
Hacker News is a social news website that caters to the needs of programmers and entrepreneurs
Inbound.org is a website sharing and discussion of content and online marketing ideas
For in Indonesia, you can post articles on content aggregator like Lintas.me
Tips: Pay attention to the rules that apply and do not submit articles that are not related to the aggregator site. Make sure the content is original, high quality, and not content not just your self-promotion only.
3. Comment on the Forum:
As you read this article, there are many conversations happening on the internet related to your niche. Joining and starting discussion forums can generate instant traffic.
Just like commenting on a blog, it's not about entering links, but more to engaging a conversation and adding value to the conversation. Make sure you log into the right forum because this can trigger a large number of visits to your site. Maybe you can visit a big forum like Kaskus.
Tips: Join the appropriate forums, take note of the rules that apply, and be a real member of the community. Avoid self-promotion is excessive and not important because this can be your boomerang later. If you provide helpful information on the forum, people will come by themselves.
4. Google Plus:
Google+ is a social media that can provide a strong social signal. Google plus can give you lots of traffic even if you do not have a follower.
Tips: Join the many communities here. Engage with other members by providing useful information and +1 them. Once you start to be known and become a trusted person in this community, then you can post useful article links and other related blog posts.
5. Guest Blogging:
Matt Cutts' statement in his article "The Decay and Fall of Guest Blogging for SEO" much-misconstrued people that guest blogging was dead. Actually not at all. Cutts' intent in the article is, "if you use guest blogging to get links in 2014, you'd better stop doing it immediately."
Guest Blogging has nothing to do with the link – guest blogging is a way of increasing traffic. If your content appears on a well-known blog, you can achieve two things:
- You form an authority on your niche.
- Some readers of that blog will find out your product or service and become your customer.
Q & A sites like Quora and Yahoo Answer offers great opportunities to generate high traffic and targeted traffic. If you can provide real solutions to real problems too, you will probably have customers willing to use your solution for the rest of their lives. At least, you do something good.
Tip: Do not spam on this site by asking and answering questions yourself. Your goal in doing this is to provide useful information and drive traffic.
7. Reddit:
If you can find a relevant niche or subreddit that has thousands of subscribers and traffic, then Reddit is the choice you should use. The key is to create relevant content into the subreddit. At least there are some people who will read your content, click on your site, and buy your product/service if it is appropriate.
In Reddit, there are unique rules that you should know and follow. You are not allowed to link to your site without explanation or useful content.
Participating in the community is important, so give comments to others. Reddit has a voting system, so the more you post, the better your chances of increasing the score. Conversely, if your content is ugly and your voting down, your score will also decrease. Build a good reputation.
Tips: Try doing research on sub-Reddit what kind of posts like get up vote front page. Once you know the pattern, create your own version that matches the good post model. There is no guarantee that you post you can enter page one, but with trial and error, the possibility will continue to increase.
8. Social Media:
For most people, Facebook is the best platform to get traffic. The formula is quite simple, optimize your Facebook profile and insert a link to your site. Provide useful, fun content every day.
Tips: Depending on your niche, Twitter, Vine, Instagram is a proven platform to drive traffic successfully.
9. YouTube:
YouTube is the second largest search engine on the internet, processing over 3 billion searches per month. Maybe YouTube can be spelled bigger than a combination of Yahoo, Bing, Ask, and AOL.
The videos that perform best for eCommerce websites are How-To and Tutorial videos. Niche videos can also drive a lot of traffic.
Tips: You can read Brian Dean's article on 5 Advanced YouTube SEO Tactics to drive more traffic to your videos and website
10. Email:
Email is one marketing channel that can generate high conversions. You can read the full guide using email from the experts to understand it in depth.

I made my vision board a while ago and I include some gratitude letters on my board… I thought it would be a good idea to post them here as well… what better way to release my intentions into the universe??
Today I make this promise to myself:
I choose to live my life as a joyful experience. I choose to keep my mind focused on love as the greatest power in my life. I choose to create greater possibilities in my life than I ever imagined before.
I listen to the wisdom of the voice within me, knowing it is Divine Intelligence at work in my life. I keep my mind and my heart open; Ready to accept joy and success however they appear.
I celebrate these ideas as the truth in my life, now and always.
And so it is!
I am grateful for….
The abundantly loving and fulfilling relationship that I have with my spiritual partner. She is beautiful, kind, caring, supportive, dependable, responsible, faithful, strong, motivated, creative, spiritually enlightened, sexy, amazing, family oriented individual that loves me unconditionally. Our relationship is strong, we have a foundation of trust and genuine love for one another. We balance each other out and our spark is forever ignited. She is affectionate and she finds me to be incredibly sexy as I do her. We are so in Love and we have the most amazing sex. The chemistry between us keeps us forever attracted to one another. We have a beautiful life together. We are financially stable and we take care of one another. When I look in her eyes I am overwhelmed in our love. I can depend on her just as she can depend on me. Our souls grow together and we are forever connected. Our children are healthy and happy and they are raised in love, compassion and tolerance. We are wonderful parents and the support of our families; friends and our children's father allow them to grow to be beautiful, responsible, truly good people. I am so very grateful for my abundantly satisfying life.
And so it is…
I am grateful for…
My amazingly satisfying career. I love my job and I am financially stable at my $80,000/yr salary. I have no debt and my savings is abundant. I am able to help people through my work and it is also very creative. I am my own boss, and I do not manage any employees. My business is very lucrative and I receive bonuses above and beyond my salary regularly. It is a competitive market and I am at the top of my field. I work hard, but I have a great work life balance. I am able to take vacations regularly and it does not interrupt my business. I feel good at the end of my work day and my work stays at the office. Money is not an issue in my life and I am stress-free. I am so very grateful for my successful, fulfilling and satisfying career.
And so it is…

New Forex Trader Graphs
I've added a new section to the site that will display all different types of graphs of my performance. Currently I have:
- Monthly Profit/Loss in USD – This graph shows my profit/loss in USD for each individual month. A month is treated as a totally separate entity from every other month.
- My Equity Curve – a graph rebased to a starting level of $20,000 USD. This shows my rolling profit/loss in USD from month to month. The value of the last data point on the graph will show my most recent capital amount.
- Monthly Profit/Loss Percentage – This graph shows my percentage gain or loss for each individual month.
- Rolling 12-month Profit/Loss Percentage – This graph will show my rolling percentage profit or loss for a 12-month period. The value of the last data point on the graph will be my total profit/loss percentage for the year.
I don't know how much I'm going to increase or decrease these numbers after this month. I've had an up and down month on the positive side. I currently sit at +3.0% for March with no open positions.
The link to the graphs will always be located under the "Trader Rich" menu and is titled, "My Forex Graphs."
Forex Trading Profit Up 9.6% In February
I ended the month of February up 9.6%. This betters the previous month of January where I was up 6.8%. I consider it an achievement to be up 17% so far in 2008 but I'm not getting ahead of myself to think that the rest of the year will go like this.
What did I do right this month?
- I never risked more than 2% on any trade.
- I knew my stop loss before entering a trade, sized my position, and never moved my stop on a losing trade.
- My reward to risk was typically around 2:1.
- I traded one of my systems pretty consistently (missing some opportunities) and stopped trading two others when I found I was being too inconsistent with following my rules.
I think it was a good idea for me to stop trading two of my systems this month. I may have put them into the mix too quickly without fully trusting them. As I mention in #4 above, I was being inconsistent with my rules and found myself breaking them more times than not. Instead of sticking with them using real money, I moved them back into development and continued trading them in a demo account. I think that if you have any doubt in your trading method or system, it's best to discontinue using it until you trust it.
What did I do wrong this month?
- I exited some positions before they hit their target. This was due to fear and fear only. There is a simple cure for this. I should just close my trading platform and open it again only once the position has closed.
- I'll say it again but I started trading a couple of systems before I was ready. It could have turned out bad but it actually did not this time. They systems were profitable but I was still not comfortable with the methods I used in obtaining the results.
- I sometimes got lazy or forgetful this month with one of my trading systems. I failed to place an order when I should have, costing me profit.
If you had success or failure this month, I think it's important for you to find out what you did right and what you did wrong. It's imperative to evaluate your performance so that it can be improved upon.

New Forex Trading Goal and Equity Curve Graph
I've rewritten my forex trading goal. It's really very straight forward. For future reference, my current goal and 2008 equity curve graph is always located at http://www.forexproject.com/My_Forex_Goal/ or under the Trader Rich menu item, Goal & Performance.
My goal is simple in substance but will be difficult to achieve. I must be profitable over an 18 month to 2 year period. A 10% gain over this period is not sufficient, nor is 20%. I'm looking for at least a 50% gain or more over this period.
I've been trying to obtain consistent profitability over the last three years without success. Initially, I think I expected to have success after my first year of trading but that quickly changed when realism set it. Therefore, I have little doubt that I have only two years left trading forex if my goals aren't realized. If I can't show consistent profitability after trading for five years, I will assume that it will never happen. I don't think my goal or intentions are unrealistic. I've heard countless times that in order to become proficient as a trader, you really need to give yourself three to five years.
I am still optimistic that I can achieve this goal. If I didn't think I could, I would have given up already.

Six Percent Loss This Week
I lost about six percent of my account this week. So what! This is the only negative thing I can say about January.
The Positives of January 2008
I increased my account balance by 6.8% this month even though I suffered a minor losing streak this week. I obtained more satisfaction from other non-monetary accomplishments though.
- At no point did I feel like I took on too much risk. I set my maximum loss per trade to 2%. This was greatly assisted by using my new position size calculator. I sized my position before every trade.
- I had the potential for 2R on every trade. I realized this potential on all winning trades except for one which I exited based on discretion. It turned out to be the right move.
- I did not jump on a trade due to boredom, a recommendation, or because I was bored.
- I did not enter too many trades at once. In fact, I only had one position open at any given time.
- I only moved my stop loss once. This happened today when I moved the stop to breakeven. This was based on discretion also. It turned out to be the right move.
- At no time did I let emotion get the best of me. This is always a work in progress and I understand that not every month is going to be this easy. There will be months where my emotions are tested more than others.
- I followed my trading systems with no modifications. My entry rules and exit rules were followed.
January was a good month and it feels great to kick off the new year on positive ground. Nevertheless, I don't feel overwhelmed with confidence or convinced that this is nothing more than short-term success. Therefore, I'll continue to work diligently as I always have.
I hope everyone did well this month also. Feel free to comment on your successes or failures. We're all going to have our ups and downs.

Kozzie has the right advice, so listen to it. I'm not even a month into the sport and I can see the wisdom of better choices and quality.
Eye protection, get quality eye protection. For CQB you WANT FULL FACE. no questions. Broken teeth cost huge dollars.
Great boots, which support your ankles is a must.
King Arms M4 is best quality buy for the money, full metal gun ready to rock out of the box. I can tell you it's solid. It's what I bought.
Get a quality battery and charger, and a spare battery if you can afford it.
These are the essentials. If you don't have enough money, start saving, nothing is worse than trying something out, LOVING it, and then having something break or fail and having to walk off the field. Then your spending MORE money in the long run. Way more.
