International Collaboration and Exchange
Oita University of Nursing and Health Sciences is promoting international cooperation in the field of nursing by emphasizing collaborative research and educational activities and by contributing to the development of nursing in developing countries. In 1998 and 1999 our university entered into academic affiliation agreements with Seoul National University's College of Nursing, Case Western Reserve University's Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing, and Pace University's Lienhard School of Nursing. Part of those agreements is the promotion of joint research and academic activities with our sister institutions. Among our international activities are the following efforts:
International Nursing Forum
Since 1999, our university has sponsored an annual international nursing forum with simultaneous interpretation every autumn in Beppu City, Oita. Every year leading authorities from around the world are invited to speak at the forum on themes that are particularly relevant to nursing and health care practitioners in the community. The International Nursing Forum has been cosponsored by the Oita Chapter of the Japanese Nursing Association since 2003.
Research Exchange Seminar with Seoul National University
The annual Research Exchange Seminar with Seoul National University's College of Nursing was established so that faculty from both institutions could share research results, exchange information on nursing education and practice, and promote collaborative research efforts. The seminar is organized and sponsored by the International Nursing Division of our university and is held at our school every year in March.
Contributions to the Development of Nursing in Other Countries
Our university is committed to contributing to the development of nursing education and nursing practice in developing countries. Through the International Exchange and Foreign Student Division of our Oita Center for Nursing Education, Research and Collaboration (CNERC) we have cooperated with the Japan International Cooperation Agency in development projects and training programs in the field of nursing education and practice in Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Laos. The Division has also dispatched members of our faculty to these countries as short-term experts. It has also received nurses and teachers of nursing from Uzbekistan, Mozambique, and other countries as trainees at our university. The Division also accepts and arranges visits of nurses, nursing faculty and nursing students to our university and to local medical and healthcare sites, and it is in charge of the admission of foreign students to our university.
Student Exchange Program with Seoul National University
In 2000 we established an annual undergraduate and graduate student exchange program with our sister university, Seoul National University's College of Nursing. The goals of the program are to foster friendship between our respective students and to lead them to a deeper understanding and appreciation of our two countries and cultures. Every year groups of students visit the other university and get to experience firsthand many clinical and educational facilities at hospitals and out in the community. They also have numerous opportunities for sightseeing and cultural experiences. Faculty members of our respective institutions accompany the students on the visits. We hope that the experiences our students receive from this program will benefit them in their studies and future lives as prospective nursing professionals and scholars.
International Collaborative Meetings: the Nurse Practitioner Project
Since 2005, the Nurse Practitioner Project of our university has held international meetings each spring and autumn with faculty members from our sister institutions in order to develop a nurse practitioner educational curriculum for our Master's program. We have also invited faculty members and physicians from other institutions in Korea, the United States, and Japan to attend. The objective of these meetings was to reform the present master degree system in nursing in Japan by referring to the systems in the United States and Korea. We believe it is time for both a radical and basic rethinking of master degree education in Japan, and for the promotion and spread of an advanced practice nurse system to meet the needs of Japanese society. As a result of the collaborative exchanges at these meetings and of visits by our faculty to our sister institutions for observation and instruction, we established a course for the training of advanced practice nurses in the fields of pediatrics and geriatrics in our Master's degree program in 2008. In 2010, the first class of NP students graduated from this NP Master's program and started practicing in the community.

Last week was a relatively quiet week for economic data releases. Equities, and in particular the U.S. long bonds led the FX markets, plus the now customary mixture of BREXIT, OPEC (OIL), U.S. Presidential Election and sound-bytes from the EUROZONE.
From a trading perspective, I was not very aggressive with trades, always trying to be selective and as choosy on entries as possible to maximize opportunities.
I would like to share some great news, the PREMIUM SERVICE total pips for 2016 currently stands at 11,618 pips, which exceeds 2014 (11,209 pips) and 2015 (10,686 pips). There are still a few weeks left this year, therefore, the final pip total return could move higher or lower depending upon what happens going into the year end.
At the conclusion of every blog (this one as well), I always include a very short a paragraph about trading longevity (see below).
Always remember longevity in Forex trading can only be achieved through trading with good RISK and MONEY MANAGEMENT, and above all set your position sizes in accordance with the size of your account and allow for some flexibility.
Last week, I revised my POSITION SIZING guidelines for my trading based upon the various currency pairs available. This is a user guide for subscribers to see what sizes I am trading, based upon my RISK attached to each trade set up that I suggest.
My business strap line "The Home of Single-lot Trading" is based upon my belief, and I have records to back this up is that regardless of how deep your pockets are, you can with RISK & MONEY MANAGEMENT, TRADING DISCIPLINES and POSITION SIZING MANAGEMENT make a good cash return from trading Forex.
This is not like gambling in Vegas. You do not have to go all in. I consider trading more like a RISK MANAGEMENT process. It is also not about making big profits trade after trade, that would be great but sadly the world of trading is NOT like that. It is about the consistency of your performance and taking profits at the right time whatever size, adding to your account. Yes, there will be losses but these can be minimized. Like every trader I hate losses, but they are a pre-requisite of trading.
I have never singled out a specific trade to review in this section of the blog before, but to amplify my point on trading small position sizes and being patient with trading I would like to demonstrate that good returns are possible.
The trade parameters were as follows: –
ENTRY at 8.8800
TRADE CLOSED AT 9.0200 – 26th October 2016
RISK AT TRADE INCEPTION WAS c.$200.00
I put a protected stop in place as the pair spiked after a news event. It pulled back and my trade covered early.
My point is where else can your RISK / RETURN be this good?
Whilst my RISK at the outset of the trade was $200.00. My trade basically cost me $3.30 to make $465.60. Where else is your return this good? There are places, but this is instant cash if required and it all happened inside 4 hours.
Obviously there are traders who would trade larger POSITION SIZES than me and many who will trade smaller POSITION SIZES. Regardless of your wallet size we can ALL make $$$.
Had you traded the lowest possible trade and matched my set up suggested 1 x micro lot with the above trade example: –
- COST TO TRADE $0.11 cents
This is NOT a "blow my own horn" approach. There have been many better trades than this this year. I just wanted to show that you do NOT need to have a higher risk to enjoy a good return on your capital.
This particular trade is just fresh in my mind, as when I look at my "Tweet deck" page, I see a couple of tweets to me @ThePremServ from one very good trader and PREMIUM SERVICE subscriber who missed this trade and was kicking himself for doing so.
As I have said, probably 10-15 times in the past month or so, As Forex Traders, we are in a marathon not a 60 metre dash.
LAST WEEK'S FOREX and ECONOMIC NEWS – MY VIEWS:
Basically my summary from Carney's speech to the House of Lords committee was "Monetary Policy cannot do everything". I think we heard something very similar very recently from Mario Draghi (ECB President).
My take is that he (Carney) can't really do much now except wait. He did the initial support but now he needs to react to the politicians and to some meaningful economic statistics following the BREXIT vote. He will ignore knee jerk statistics to get a picture with a trend if possible and try to keep ahead of the curve.
That aside cable trades very heavy and within striking distance (GBP/USD) of breaking the recent 30+ years low of 1.2076. I still maintain its when rather than if we break this. The 1.2000 psychological number is appealing to the robots and big institutions. The weekly closing numbers with the GBP/USD must have the banks chartists frothing at the mouth with opportunities. At the same time there are always short covering rallies as there are always bottom pickers in the market. Eventually, one sound-byte from either a UK or EUROZONE politician probably based upon the Banking sector future of London being cast in doubt will send this cable crashing across the board.
I just want the best entry level to short the GBP/USD, GBP/CHF and get long EUR/GBP. Although the CHF is a little off my RADAR at the moment given that I fear a TRUMP victory we could see a JPY and CHF flight to safety trade for a while.
I digress…
I think with Theresa May giving Parliament a chance to debate the BREXIT, this will stretch out the date for EUROPEAN UNION discussions and this gives the GBP/USD the chance to recover a little. This is my hope. I have a LIMIT ORDER in place ready at my target entry. The problem is every time cable looks like it's moving up, it quickly gets swatted down again. There are always sellers ready to enter.
Carney is on hold for the time being so it's really up to the politicians to influence the cable price moving forward in my opinion.
If ever there was a data release to screw with your mind, and your belief of what was good news and what was bad news this was it.
2.9% growth… almost 3%.
I expected the USD to rally like crazy across the board. It never happened, the opposite really and then we had the now customary Friday chop fest as traders close / adjust / set their trades for the following week.
On Friday last week I was set up from a couple of days' prior for the DXY to retrace lower from its elevated position. The fall in the DXY never really happened the way I thought it would as the USD remained well bid. My retracement trades were left in place and on Friday last week whilst they never really came close to triggering LIVE…the NZD/USD almost did, it came within 35 pips or so.
The upshot of all of this was that I went to the sidelines to avoid the choppy market and started on this blog post instead of trading!!
THIS WEEK'S FOREX and ECONOMIC NEWS – MY VIEWS:
(There are many more news items related to the Forex Market other than the ones listed below. These are the ones that interest me. You can go to www.forexfactory.com and www.tradingeconomics.com for a more comprehensive lists of all news events that are Forex related).
MONDAY: CNY – Manufacturing PMi.
MONDAY: AUD – RBA Rate Statement & Interest Rate announcement.
MONDAY: JPY – BOJ Press Conference and Interest Rate Statement.
TUESDAY: GBP – Manufacturing PMi.
TUESDAY: NZD – GDT Dairy Auction Prices.

THURSDAY: AUD – RBA monetary Policy Statement.
THURSDAY: AUD – Retail Sales.
THURSDAY: CAD – BOC Governor Poloz speaks.
FRIDAY: USD – Non-Farm Employment Data $ Unemployment Rate etc.
FRIDAY: CAD – Employment Data & Unemployment Rate.
There is an abundance of news items this week.
The big ones in my opinion that I will be very interested in are: –
- S. Non-Farm Payrolls and the FOMC Statement.
- BOE Inflation Report.
- NZD Jobs report and Dairy Auction Prices.
- China PMi.
- Australian Monetary Policy, Interest Rate Statement and Trade Balance.
It has been some time since the agenda has looked this busy.
We must also bear in mind that the BREXIT and U.S. presidential election will be over the news wires like a rash, plus we are now in the same month as the alleged proposed OPEC OIL production cut, this should also start to weigh in.
As "THE DONALD" would say it's "HUGE'.
It has been some time since the weekly data dump was this big, culminating with the U.S. jobs report at the end of the week.
Those of you who know my approach should not and will probably not be surprised by the following statement, I think this week will be a day trade only environment probably until Friday when a longer-term trading perspective will hopefully be able to be taken.
I am looking more at cross-rate pairs as we head towards the U.S. Presidential Election. My thought process for this is that should we see a surprise result with "THE DONALD" being victorious. I think that we will have major increased volatility for some time. I just don't need this nor do I want this factor hanging over several trades. That does not affect my views too much on my longer-term trades that are currently in place. Hence my thought process moving more to the cross-rate pairs. Having said that, with the volume of economic data due this week, the cross-rates could be scarier than I bargain for.
We all saw what happened with the markets last Friday with the FBI announcement over re-opening the case against HILLARY and her emails. The JPY and CHF tanked, the MXN leaped up like a salmon. Somebody hopefully dialed 911 (999) for HILLARY as I think that the fire department will be required to put out the fire from her knickers burning following her claims that all was OK.
The bottom line is that trading small and being nimble will be the general order of the day over the next couple of weeks.
PREMIUM SERVICE subscribers please note, in section 5 I have noted my trade for the night of the Presidential vote.
(In this section I have as usual kept my charts as minimalist as possible. With regards to charting in my opinion less is more!! I hope that they are clear. All readers regardless of level of experience should be able to follow my thoughts from my comments to the levels on the charts with ease)
My comments are contained on the charts.
EUR/USD – Weekly Closing Price: 1.0981
GBP/USD – Weekly Closing Price: 1.2185
AUD/USD – Weekly Closing Price: 0.7494
NZD/USD – Weekly Closing Price: 0.7165
USD/CAD – Weekly Closing Price: 1.3391
USD/CHF – Weekly Closing Price: 0.9874
USD/JPY – Weekly Closing Price: 104.66
I don't want to give away too much in this section as this overlaps with commentary that PREMIUM SERVICE SUBSCRIBERS receive in section 5.
I am maintaining positions with the EUR/CHF and AUD/NZD, in fact I added two more live trades to my trading position with the AUD/NZD and a further LIMIT ORDER is in place as well.
My overall longer-term view regarding the New Zealand economy has not changed and for the foreseeable future I have no problems adding to my bearish views through all NZD trading pairs except the GBP/NZD for BREXIT reasons.
Other non USD majors that are on my RADAR are: –
JPY and CHF pairs. I am being a little cautious with my near-term outlook with regards to these pairs given the U.S. election outcome. If we saw "THE DONALD" victorious I am of the opinion that we could see a flight to safety trade appear and the usual suspects of the JPY and CHF could be targeted. The FBI investigation into HILLARY's emails could lead us down a path we were not expecting to follow.
Longer-term I want to sell JPY and CHF currencies (i.e. Long USD/JPY & USD/CHF). I just think that until the U.S. election is out of the way we have to exercise some caution.
This is a busy week for Forex traders; time to get down to Costco and stock up on caffeine, or if you prefer the off-licence / liquor store for something a little stronger. I have a feeling us "dark side" traders will be quite "cream crackered" by next weekend.
In addition to the Economic data dump do NOT forget at any time some idiot politician looking for 30 seconds of fame could take aim on a media sound-byte and change the direction of any currency pair at the drop of a hat. We have plenty of BRITISH and EUROZONE politicians who love the media, plus the OPEC ministers love a good rumour so be aware and be careful. Already there are noises stating that neither IRAN or IRAQ will freeze output. I stated at the outset of this paperless agreement that in principle OPEC agreements are not policed nor do they mean squat when a push comes to a shove. OPEC is a non-event in my opinion especially as energy dependence diminishes in the Middle East as soon as they realize this then maybe things might progress in a greater business-like manner. Right now it's a shambolic collection of greedy feckers who have screwed with my disposable income for too damn long…. in my opinion of course!!
Plus, we have an FBI investigation being opened into a Presidential candidate days before the vote in the biggest economy in the FREE WORLD. In the words of "THE DONALD" this is "HUGE". This will play on the markets this week. WE have to be really careful, maybe be sidelined.
I do NOT need to trade every day. I trade to make money in markets I understand. If I want to gamble in choppy markets I might as well go to Vegas and play roulette. I prefer to let trades come to me at my prices. I have a TRADE PLAN and I PLAN MY TRADES to my plan.
Do not get suckered into believing the market is moving strongly in one direction. It can and does change in an instant. We are close to several range extremes, which increases volatility and the number of false moves.
As usual…
Always remember longevity in Forex trading can only be achieved through trading with good RISK and MONEY MANAGEMENT, and above all set your position sizes in accordance with the size of your account and allow for some flexibility.
Take care,
Scott Pickering

Are there natural remedies that will help control proteinuria and hypertension2013-12-06 16:16
Patient: My mother gets chronic kidney disease, and she has the symptoms of proteinuria and high blood pressure. Are there natural remedies that will help her control the symptoms other than dialysis?
Doctor: hello, I'm very glad that I can help you. Chronic kidney disease is a common kidney disease, and patients often have the symptoms of proteinuria and high blood pressure.
Generally speaking, patients with CKD who has proteinuria and high blood pressure are often recommended to have certain diet treatment which contain:
- take proper protein intake. Depending on the illness condition, they should take proper protein in order to reduce the kidney burden and remit the symptom of proteinuria.
- limit salt intake, keep low-salt diet. This will help control high blood pressure and prevent the symptom of swelling.
- limit fluid intake
Besides, there are also some other dietary principals for CKD patients. If you want to get a personalized diet plan for your mother, you can send her test reports to firstname.lastname@example.com.
On the other hand, she also need to take medical treatment to control her symptoms. I recommend her to use traditional Chinese herbs to treat her chronic kidney disease. As Chinese herbs has less side-effects than western medicines, and western medicines often have the function to control one symptom, but it cannot repair the damaged kidneys. There are some Chinese herbs can treat CKD effectively like ho shou wu, Chinese rhubarb, java tea, dan shen, couch grass, etc. These herbs will help your mother for her illness. If your mother want to try Chinese herbs for her CKD, you can contact me for detailed usage of these herbs.
There is also another treatment used Chinese medicine, which is called Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. This therapy is also used Chinese herbs, but patients don't need to take it through mouth. It is an external treatment, using the specific technology, the medicine can work on the damaged kidneys directly. After using the therapy, patients will have great improvements on their illness.
Some of the symptoms will be controlled effectively, for example, the proteinuria will remit, because of the repaired kidney tissues, and the high blood pressure will be effectively controlled. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can repair the damaged kidney cells and protect the residual kidney function. Through using the therapy, the kidney function will be improved, and patients will control the symptom of proteinuria and hypertension fundamentally.
This therapy is better than dialysis, as dialysis can only filter the wastes and toxins in blood, it cannot remedy the kidney function. Therefore, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy will be a good option for CKD patients to remedy proteinuria and hypertension.
I hope my answer will be helpful for your mother, and I hope you choose a right treatment timely, which will give more chances for the recovery of your mother.
- Pre: 34 Years Old, CKD Stage 3, Swelling in Hands, Feet and Face
- Next: Hypertensive Nephropathy, GFR 59.5, Serum Creatinine 1.7

50 Vessels full of artistic expression
A NATIONAL exhibition of ceramic art has been launched on the Sunshine Coast.
The exhibition, 50 Vessels, celebrates the creative cauldron of the Sunshine Coast and features 50 nationally recognised artists. Nambour's Old Ambulance Station Gallery is hosting the exhibition, which officially opened on Friday, August 4, as an inspiration to local ceramic art enthusiasts.
From highly decorative to sculptural and classic work, large and small, 50 Vessels showcases a range of Australian and global influences including environmental, sustainability and cultural aspects. Exhibitors, including internationally renowned artist Mitsuo Shoji, have joined the special exhibition by invitation only.
Organiser and Suncoast Clayworkers president Jackie Gasson said the display boasted stunning and diverse works from local and national artists.
"Our artists produce works of an international standard," she said.
"We are proud to welcome award winners to our exhibition such as Greg Daly, who has works on display at more than 80 national and international art galleries and museums."
A glazing specialist, Greg has also displayed his creations across more than 200 national and international exhibitions.
Sunshine Coast master potter and sculptor Ted Seacombe, who has contributed to exhibitions in Japan, Europe, the US and Australia and has works featured permanently across 30 collections worldwide, highlights our local talent.
Known for his beautiful crystalline glazes, as well as his pots of cobalt blue and deep crimson, Ted experiments with and is developing a new range of glazes through an innovative approach to firing - some of which are reminiscent of ancient Chinese glazes.
Contemporary ceramic artist, teacher and best-selling author Janet DeBoos will also join the collective, alongside West Australian clay potter Warrick Palmateer and Gold Coast artisan Megan Puls.
Launched in 2000, Suncoast Clayworkers Association is an umbrella organisation that fosters and promotes all forms of claywork.
The collective hosts its biennial conference and convention Spring Fever to inspire and generate new and quality artwork from members and other interested parties, and also sponsors a showcase of national, international and local exhibitors called Ignition.
The 50 Vessels exhibition continues to August 25.

November Ballot Measures Could Be 'Far-Reaching'
The November statewide election "will not lack for meaty, even historic, political conflicts for voters to digest," including a measure to fund health care programs by increasing state tobacco taxes, columnist Dan Walters writes in the Sacramento Bee (Walters, Sacramento Bee, 5/17).
The proposed measure is expected to generate about $2.1 billion annually. The initiative calls for:
- 52.75% of the revenue to be used to fund hospital emergency services, nurse education, community health clinics and tobacco cessation programs;
- 42.25% to be used for children's health insurance, including an expansion of the Healthy Kids program; smoking prevention campaigns; and cancer, heart, asthma and other disease research; and
- 5% to be used for cancer- and tobacco disease-related research (California Healthline, 5/5).
These proposed initiatives and others addressing infrastructure bonds, tax increases on oil production and eminent domain rights "could trigger a big-money political shootout," according to Walters. "The ballot may not set a record for overall number of propositions, but no election of recent vintage has offered such a variety with such potential for far-reaching impacts," Walters writes (Walters, Sacramento Bee, 5/17).

Trump Releases Doctor's Note; Takes Positions On Medicaid, Birth Control And Abortion
While discussing his own health statistics with Dr. Oz, Donald Trump also comments on expanding Medicaid and access to over-the-counter birth control, like in California. Later, he says he supports permanently prohibiting federal funds from being used for abortion and appointed a new head to his anti-abortion coalition.
Los Angeles Times:
Trump's Doctor Says He's In 'Excellent Physical Health' But Shares Few New Details
Donald Trump released a one-page doctor's letter Thursday saying he is "in excellent physical health" while pressing his case that he has more strength and stamina than Hillary Clinton. The letter from Harold N. Bornstein, a Manhattan doctor who has treated Trump since 1980, said the Republican presidential nominee takes low-dose aspirin and a statin drug to lower his cholesterol. (Finnegan, 9/15)
The Associated Press:
Amid Tighter Race, Clinton And Trump Trade Barbs Over Health
Hillary Clinton returned to campaigning without offering apologies for keeping her pneumonia a secret, focusing on criticizing opponent Donald Trump instead of how she handled her health problem and the three-day rest ordered by her doctor. (Pace and Lerer, 9/16)
Trump Says He'd Use Medicaid To Expand Insurance Coverage
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said that as president he would use Medicaid to cover poor people who can't afford private health insurance, and make birth control available without a prescription. The comments appeared to differ both with what some Republicans have proposed in the past, and -- in the case of Medicaid -- aspects of Trump's own policy proposals on his website. Republicans generally opposed the expansion of Medicaid to higher income levels under Obamacare, for example. (Cortez and Tracer, 9/15)
The Associated Press:
Trump Supports Birth Control Without A Prescription
Donald Trump says he believes women should be able to obtain birth control without a prescription. Speaking on an episode of "The Dr. Oz Show" airing Thursday, the Republican nominee suggested that, for many women, obtaining a prescription can be challenging. "I would say it should not be prescription," he told the audience, adding that many women "just aren't in a position to go get a prescription." (Colvin and Sharp, 9/15)
USA Today:
Trump Announces 'Pro-Life Coalition,' Supports Making Hyde Amendment Permanent
On Friday Trump reinforced his commitment to three anti-abortion platforms and announced he would also back making the Hyde Amendment permanent law... The Hyde Amendment withholds certain federal funds from being used for abortion. There are exceptions to protect the life of the woman or if the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest. (Collins, 9/16)

Isagenix International, a global health and wellness company providing nutrition and lifestyle solutions, is celebrating a significant milestone: $6 billion in cumulative global sales.

I coach teachers in Mathematics one day a week. About three years ago I worked for Regional Office through National Partnerships to coach teachers to lift their capacity and improve student outcomes. This was a fantastic experience and one I was very fortunate to be able to do.
Currently I coach one day a week. I love this part of my job as I get to discuss Maths with teachers who work outside my current year level. This group of students are setting new challenges around skip counting backward or forward. Their teacher is working on counting strategies that help them to count and remember large numbers. Using tallies in the playground to help count is hands on, real and engaging. I was in awe of the counting they were doing. They set goals, review them and set new challenges each and everyday. Great job

The chef. Diego Dato
When you are born to do something in life, you cannot go against the flow. I grew up being the official taster of all the stews and food that was made at home. If anybody was in the kitchen, I was there too. Little by little I hardened to the life offered by this great profession and after finishing studying, I landed in Lasarte, in Martín Berasategui's amazing kitchen.
I continued my journey at Can Fabes, where Santi Santamaría taught me the importance of excellence. In 2012 I arrived at Tenerife, at the M.B. Restaurant in The Ritz-Carlton, Abama where Erlantz Gorostiza polished my knowledge and learning. After a year of training I undertook the position of sous chef at the Txoko Restaurant.
Eleven years later, at the age of 31, my dream came true. It is an honour and a privilege to form part of the "My Way Hotels" team backed by Gorostiza, Berasategui and their teams, and to be the figurehead at the MELVIN Restaurant.
Chef at Home
We are proud to present the new gastronomic proposal of "Chef At Home" with which we want you to enjoy a unique and unforgettable experience at Abama resort.

Weekly Commodity Strategy Review
We looked at the recent commercial buying in the US Dollar Index on Monday, noting that, "Even though commercial traders remain heavily net short, their recent purchases have been strong enough to shift their momentum back to the positive side." We also looked at technical support that has been tested and held, throughout this week.
You can find the full piece featured at TraderPlanet.
Tuesday was probably our best call. Equities.com featured our crude oil analysis in, "Crude Oil Spike is a Selling Opportunity." We stated that, "our simple take on the way these usually work is that we'll get one more spike of some type above the recent congestion that has built up. This morning's trade near $61 is the spike we've been waiting on. "
The market peaked Wednesday around $62.50 and has quickly fallen back near $58 per barrel.
We went macro with our own piece again this week as a follow up to, "The Interest Rate Conundrum" of two weeks ago. Originally, we focused on the world's central bankers and the recent International Monetary Fund meeting in Washington. Their primary purpose was to discuss what it would take to US and global interest rates to rise and when. Apparently, Bill Gross had the answer and the markets listened in a BIG way. Even if interest rates aren't your topic, the swings on the charts I posted are truly dramatic.

"Too much rock and roll" is one of the common refrains heard at crowded cocktail receptions, on busy trade show floors, or anyplace where members of the professional AV industry find themselves unable to hear properly.
But one wonders if the issue is not that they can't hear, rather it's that they can't hear with the full bandwidth they prefer. The experience is similar to photographers who seek absolute clarity in their prescription glasses because their ideal world has a sharper focus. Where many people are fine with missing the occasional comment or visual nuance, experts in sound and vision set higher standards for their audio and visual experience.
Hearing damage is a very real concern in the audio industry, but new research suggests there are benefits that come with the pitfalls of being exposed to an abundance of sound. Last month, several studies presented in Chicago at the Society for Neuroscience revealed that musicians exhibit a more fine-tuned ability to perceive and remember sounds. This applies in the speech domain as well as music.
It seems that along with the potential for harm, life-long experiences with sound affect the your hearing system's level of function. If listening with precision is part of your job description, you are actually fine-tuning your ability to hear, and maybe even improving your focus and mental acuity. This is even better news than the "classical music makes you smarter" maxim of a few years ago.
Further to hearing more accurately, the studies found that musical experience influences the brain's interaction with sound, making it more effective at extracting meaning from what is heard. While this research was specifically related to musicians, it seems possible to extrapolate the effects of hearing one's own instrument among other sounds to the precise listening required in tuning a sound system. Or more generally, to the critical thinking required across the audiovisual integration spectrum. Let's go ahead and extrapolate upon that extrapolation and say that AV makes you smarter. As flippant as that sounds, there is merit to the notion that there are benefits to working in a field that constantly stimulates the mind and provokes new ideas.
So when you flinch because a video display in a sports bar is set to the wrong aspect ratio, or grimace at the tinny sound of a poorly implemented background music system, you're merely exhibiting your finely honed mental abilities. You see and hear the world more clearly than most. So turn up the music and rock your brain cells.

From the innocence of youth to the wisdom of old age, the color white represents a plethora of familiar concepts in the English language. The earliest origin of the word white itself, however, is shrouded in a haze of mystery.
Etymologists, or language experts, believe the word white got its start in Proto-Indo-European, a tongue that died out thousands of years ago but gave birth to many modern languages, including English, Welsh, Lithuanian, and Armenian. There's no written evidence of the Indo-European language, so experts are forced to make the educated guess that the word for white was kwintos.
This ancient word then entered another defunct language called Proto-Germanic. Like its predecessor, the word for white in Proto-Germanic is lost, so etymologists hypothesize that word was khwitaz.
Over time, the word became hwit, which looks and sounds much closer to the white we use today. Hwit is on Old English word, spoken by the Anglo-Saxons, German tribes who began to invade England as early as the 5th century.
The Anglo-Saxons weren't just the barbarian tribes we sometimes see portrayed in movies and books. They were also quite literate, producing authors like Bede and epic adventures like Beowulf. It's through this culture that we have some of the first written evidence of the word that would become white. The Anglo-Saxons were also the first to start using the word white as a surname for a person who had light hair or a fair complexion.
Today, variations of white—all with their root in the ancient Proto-Indo-European language—are found in 20 languages around the world, including Sanskrit and Slavic.

In Sanskrit, the term for White is "Shweath" or Sh weight(h). This could have very much contributed to the origin of the word "white"
I didn't find that in my original research but I can see the potential connection. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Some often used discipline techniques just don't work.
How to fix discipline techniques that don't work
I'm counting 1, 2, 3 – We are leaving… I'm counting…
- What you are really saying: Don't listen to me until I get to the last number.
- Why it doesn't work: Children learn that it just means they have extra time to ignore you and your request/demand. Very quickly you'll go from 3 to 4, then 5, then 6 then… 10+
- What it teaches: Ignore you for as long as possible, you don't mean what you say, he has extra time to do it…
- What to do instead: Give children advanced notice & warnings. "Five more slides down the slide then it's time to go home." Then count out the slides and leave when you reach five. Resist the pleadings for just one more.
Time-Out – Go to the time out chair!
- What you are really saying: Go away from me, I am really mad at you right now!
- Why it doesn't work: It isolates children getting them out of an immediate problem but without an explanation of what happened and how to deal with it in the future the behavior will just continue.
- What it teaches: I don't have time to deal with you right now. So go sit over there till I do.
- What to do instead: Use quiet-time instead. Unlike a traditional time-out, quiet-time is more of a helping hand than a punishment. A quiet-time is simply a cooling off period with no activities. You should either calmly take the child to the quiet-time area or ask the child to go there. (The quiet-time area could be a chair, a carpet, your lap…) You might say something like "Biting is not o.k. Please take some quiet-time. Next time remember to use your words." Learn more about quiet-time here.
Yelling – Don't ever do that again!
- What you are really saying: Make me mad and I am going to make you scared of me!
- Why it doesn't work: It scares your child and causes your child to become upset. Children have a hard time listening to what you are saying when they are upset.
- What it teaches: Yelling is a good way to communicate with people to try to get them to do things your way.
- What to do instead: Get down at your child's level & look her in the eyes. Then calmly, with a firm tone in your voice, let your child know what she did wrong. Then tell her a more positive way to deal with it next time. Give her an example of what you want her to do. The calmer you talk to her, the calmer she'll become. Learn more here.
Threatening – Put that away or no play date tomorrow.
- What you are really saying: If you don't do as I say, something bad is going to happen to you.
- Why it doesn't work: Most of the time, threats are not followed through with and a child starts to learn that a parent's threats don't mean anything.
- What it teaches: Threats don't mean a thing, go ahead a misbehave and ignore Mommy and Daddy. They don't mean what they say.
- What to do instead: Ask your child to be your helper. "Please be my Big Helper and help me put the toys back on the shelf." This helps him/her to feel important. Or try singing the clean up song. "Cleanup, cleanup. Everybody everywhere. Cleanup, cleanup. Everybody do your share." This makes it fun and they'll sing along. Get more ideas here.
Spanking, slapping, hitting, pushing away
- What you are really saying: If you misbehave, I am going to hurt you and I don't care how you feel!
- Why it doesn't work: It shows you don't respect your child's feelings. It makes your child angry, sad, fearful of you and it hurts physically.
- What it teaches: It's OK to physically hurt someone you love. If you don't like what someone is doing or saying, hit them!
- What to do instead: Talk to your child with a loving, but firm tone and let him know how upset you are with his behavior. (Not with him. Focus on the behavior.) Together, come up with a plan on how your child can change the negative behavior. Learn more here.
Positive proactive discipline works
Discipline is about learning how to recognize our desires and feelings and act on them appropriately within the boundaries or limits of society and our surroundings.

It has waterfall, aerial ace, and dig. Adamant nature. Razor claw for more critical hits.
I would use a different set and item for Feraligatr, which is below:
Feraligatr @Life Orb
Trait: Sheer Force
Adamant Nature
EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spe, 4 Hp
- Earthquake; Much, much better than dig, and covers electric types more easily
- Waterfall; Keep it, it's really good
- Ice Punch; Covers Dragons and Grass types, plus really useful at times
- Dragon Dance; Start your engine and win the race
If Feraligatr has Sheer Force, Dragon Claw won't get a boost from it, which isn't good. Plus if you have Life Orb and Sheer Force, using Shadow Claw will get you LO damage. Sure Shadow Clawson covers Ghosts and Psychics, maybe, but that's it. Other pokes are good at that. Not Feraligatr. Dragon Claw is useless for this Gatr, since ice punch covers dragons and grass types, so don't use it.
Hopefully this answers your question
Hope I helped!(ish)
Each move has its own advantages and disadvantages. It depends upon the other members of your team and the type of Pokemon that your opponent has.
If your Pokemon team lacks Ghost moves, then go for Shadow Claw. If you need Dragon moves, then go for Dragon Claw.
Just remember that Ghost-type moves cannot affect Normal types and Dragon-type moves cannot affect Fairy-types (if you're playing the latest Generation).
But if you're playing the Generation without Fairy-types then I'd say Dragon Claw, since most Elite Four members usually have at least one Dragon-Type user and unlike Shadow Claw, Dragon Claw can damage any type of Pokemon before Fairies came along.
Well... first, I must say I hope you have a plan for Dig. It really sets you up for bad switch ins.
On that note, however... Shadow claw gives you more coverage. Dragon Claw is generally going to be useless, because most Dragon targets are faster than Feraligatr and many sport Thunderbolt or Thunder Punch.

The Provost, Anti-Corrupt Academy of Nigeria, Prof. Sola Akinrinade has charged stakeholders in the higher educational sector to play their parts in building an incorruptible educational system.
This was contained in a keynote address he deliveredon Thursday, March 29, 2019, at a symposium organised for the outgoing Vice-Chancellor of the Kwara State University (KWASU), Malete, Professor AbdulRasheedNa'Allah, by the University's Office of the Resident Life Fellowship Programme (RLFP).
Akinrinade stated that keynote address titled; ``Corruption and the Nigerian Higher Education System: What can/should we do about it?''aimed to educate members of the public and the University Community on how to competently implement integrated interventions that would further promote Integrity on campuses and curtail corrupt practices in higher education.
``It is our expectation that after this lecture, members of the University Community would have been well equipped, to continue to maintain a safe and orderly KWASU campus environment consistent with academic excellence and integrity, conducive to learning, fostering respect for others and for the University's work of teaching, research and community services."
He expressed displeasure on the level of damage corrupt practices had done in the academia and how nobody was seeing them as wrongs.
He explained that the corrupt practices in the academia were absenteeism, bribery, cheating, corruption, embezzlement, extortion, fraud, harassment, plagiarism, qualification and credentials fraud, theft, unaccredited programmes, victimisation, wastage, and a host others.
The provost stated that university staff, students and parents were all partakers in the corruption as students are corrupting staff, parents are corrupting staff and staff are corrupting staff.
He reiterated that most perpetrators continued to operate because the system did not identify most of the problems as problems but instead saw the acts as 'normal'.
``Sadly, we have come to accept all these as "normal". Hence, the problem is not that there is a "problem" but our collective refusal to admit there is a problem,'' he concluded.
Speaking at the event, the convener, Coordinator RLFP, Israel Ajuwon, described Prof. Na'Allah as the longest serving Vice-Chancellor in Nigeria by dint of hardwork and sterling qualities of excellence, integrity, innovative leadership and unparalleled commitment in Entrepreneurship and Community Development.
He reminded that KWASU was established with core values of academic integrity and excellence, adding that these were impetus for fostering growth and development for staff and students.
``As important stakeholders of this University, it is on us to strongly uphold integrity and avoid behaviours that could impair the world class teaching and learning environment of our dear University.''
According to him, Na'Allah has built a sustainable system for the nation by investing in young people, ``he has invested a lot in young people. The future of any nation is its young people and if you want to see a system that will be sustained, you look at what the system is contributing to the development of the young people''.
He further described the outgoing Vice-Chancellor as a sharp-witted University Administrator who epitomized excellence, integrity, intellectualism, heroism and innovative leadership and was the first to introduced Entrepreneurship as well as Aeronautic and Astronautic Engineering and a few others as courses in a Nigerian University.
The celebrant, in his remark, announced that he would be leaving on July 27, 2019, which would mark the end of his second term, urging the University Community to ensure that KWASU continued to move on.
He said his leaving was an issue of progress, newness and development; praying the University Community to uphold realities about corruption, integrity and bear in mind that a society of greatness must be engineered.
``Let us spend billions on any venture including university, it will never show if we are not mindful of the realities.
``If all you do every year is to turn out graduates who roam the street, do you really qualify that name, university? How do you even admit people and you do not think about those who have left? What are they doing? Are they employed? Are they giving positive contribution to the society?'', Na'Allah submitted.

WASHINGTON — U.S. service firms, which employ nearly 90 percent of the country's work force, experienced their weakest growth in 17 months in July. The report confirms other data that show the economy is struggling two years after the recession ended.
The Institute for Supply Management said today that its index for services companies fell to 52.7, from 53.3 in June. Any reading above 50 indicates expansion.
The ISM's index covers a range of service industries, including health care, retail and financial services. The index reached a five-year high of 59.7 in February, but has fallen since then.
Growth slowed to less than 1 percent in the first six months of this year, the government said Friday. Consumer spending, which fuels 70 percent of economic activity, fell 0.2 percent in June. It was the first decline since September 2009.
Less spending has hurt service-sector companies such as restaurants, retailers and amusement parks.
As the economy has slowed, so has hiring. Employers added only 18,000 jobs in June, the fewest in nine months. The unemployment rate rose to 9.2 percent.
The government will release the July jobs report Friday. Economists predict only 90,000 jobs were added last month and the unemployment rate was unchanged. The economy needs roughly three times that many jobs to reduce the unemployment rate.
Much of the slowdown stems from a spike in gas prices since last year. That reduces the amount of money consumers can spend on discretionary goods such as furniture, electronics, and appliances. Spending on those categories has fallen for three straight months.
Spending fell largely because most Americans aren't seeing any pay increases. Incomes rose only 0.1 percent in June, the department said, the smallest gain since September. Americans are also saving more, boosting the savings rate to 5.4 percent.
Manufacturing output has also been hit by supply disruptions stemming from Japan's March 11 earthquake, which caused auto companies in the U.S. to reduce production. Many analysts had predicted the economy would turn around in the second half of the year once those temporary factors began to fade.
But the ISM's manufacturing report, released Monday, showed the economy is still deteriorating. The manufacturing index fell to 50.9, its lowest level in two years.
Most economists have reduced their growth forecasts. Paul Dales, an economist at Capital Economic, now expects growth of only 2 percent in the second half of the year, down from an earlier forecast of 2.5 percent.

Do you have a preschooler in your home? Then you are blessed. These little ones help us keep a perspective on what is important in life. They are curious about everything, eager to learn, energetic, and extremely fatiguing!
As I travel and speak at homeschooling events across the country, I am pleased to find that many parents are homeschooling their preschoolers. A growing number of these parents have only preschool-aged children and are excited to jump onto the homeschool wagon. However, some appear overzealous in their desire to educate their young children, encouraging them to learn difficult academic material.
Another group of homeschooling parents with preschool children also exists. In addition to their preschoolers, these parents have school-aged children whom they are teaching. Many in this group are less enthusiastic towards their preschoolers since they assume their young children are in the way while they are teaching their older children.
Do you fall into one of the categories described above, or do you desire to energize your preschool efforts? If so, read on.
Educational psychologists claim that more than half of a childs learning occurs during his first few years. Wow! These important, formative years should not be overlooked; however, we should resist the urge to cultivate little geniuses. It is crucial in our zeal that we do not neglect simple activities necessary for the childs development. A less academic and more hands-on approach will enable us and our children to enjoy homeschooling and avoid burnout.
Perhaps we are homeschooling several children, and teaching our preschooler is not at the top of our to-do list. Maybe it is not even slated to be on our list for another year or two. It can be difficult to train or entertain our preschoolers while teaching our older children. We need a system that is flexible, easy-to-follow, and successful.
What our preschool child needs most in her day is time with Mom! I suggest we begin our school day by spending one-on-one time with our preschooler, making her our priority. We can instruct our older children not to interrupt, because we are doing schoolwork with our young child. This serves as an example for the preschooler to follow when we are working with our older children. This intimate time together makes our young child feel that she is part of the learning process, important, and loved. Countless parents have testified that this basic advice has enriched their homeschooling experience.
Sharing good books with our preschooler is a stimulating activity. This simple task will motivate our young child to become a proficient reader; our love and enthusiasm for reading is contagious. Reading aloud lays a solid foundation for developing effective writing skills since our preschooler must cultivate an ear for good writing in order to write well one day. This early immersion in literature is the core of a highly effective pre-reading and pre-writing program. Children love the closeness of read-aloud time; they know they have our undivided attention!
The child becomes an active participant in story time as she narrates what we have read aloud. Numerous skills are nurtured as she retells an intriguing story. Her composition skills are empowered as she weaves her tale, her vocabulary is strengthened as she searches for just the right words, and her sequencing skills are refined as she works to keep the story events in proper order.
A child who has not yet developed her communication skills can take pleasure in pointing out various details through the storys illustrations as we ask, for example, Can you find the cat? Where is the flower? How many birds can you find? This word-picture association helps her increase her vocabulary, visual discrimination skills, and general knowledge.
Using simple hand puppets, children love acting out the stories we read. This serves to fortify language and presentation skills while building manual dexterity. Story elements such as use of dialogue, sequencing, setting, character, action, conflict, climax, and resolution are caught rather than taught through this playful medium. Older children enjoy participating in this hands-on lesson as well.
Young children are sponges! It is amazing how much they absorb while being close at hand as we homeschool our older children. We can provide entertaining yet educational activities to keep them occupied nearby for short spans of time, offering us freedom to work with our school-aged children. The goal of many preschool children is to create a mess! This is a task into which they heartily immerse themselves.
When my daughter Mandy was a preschooler, she was particularly fond of water. One day I noticed she had disappeared from our family room where we were doing our schoolwork. I quickly darted to the bathroom, where cheerful squeals filled the air. Mandy was conducting a scientific investigation to discover which toys would effectively clog the sink drain. To Mandys delight, she had created a waterfall, which cascaded over the counter, flowed across the floor, and meandered down the hallway. I then realized I needed to provide Mandy with entertaining activities to occupy her in our family room during school time. I needed to create a controlled messy situation.
Mandys attraction to water inspired me to make this the focal point of my experiment. I laid several large towels on the tile floor in our family room and placed a dishpan half full of water on top. I added a little dish soap and swished it around to form some playful bubbles. I supplied Mandy with an assortment of doll clothes and asked her to wash them. She loved this and played quietly as I worked with her older siblings. I soon learned I could extend this activity by adding another dishpan of clear water for her to rinse the clothes and a folded towel for her to blot the excess water from the garments. Since this was successful, I set up a small clothesline for Mandy to hang the doll clothes on to dry. I simply tied a piece of yarn from one chair back to another and clipped the clothespins, several inches apart, onto the taut line. Clipping the clothespins in place in advance made it easy for Mandy to squeeze their tops together and slip the doll clothes between the pinchers.
Mandy was never as happy as when she was washing the doll clothes. Not only was she having fun, but she was also learning. Through this childs play she was discovering the properties of water, following a series of simple instructions, and developing fine motor skills. She was also listening as I read aloud to the older children and soon entered into our literary discussions. (Our floor was exceptionally clean when Mandy washed the doll clothes, for I used the wet towels to mop up when she tired of the activity!)
I searched for additional fun-filled amusements for Mandy. I began sharing these with other families and eventually put together a book with 100 activities to entertain and educate preschoolers. We can easily set up these activity centers in our home. Our preschoolers will not be the only ones intrigued by these occupations. Our early elementary-aged children will be eager to finish their schoolwork so they can wash the doll clothes and participate in other engaging enterprises with their younger sibling.
We should supply our preschooler with plenty of books, pads of paper, crayons, washable markers, play dough, puppets, and puzzles. Allowing her to use certain items only during school time prevents them from becoming too ordinary. We can provide a special container to house her materials in and occasionally purchase new items for her to discover in her school box. As we prepare breakfast, we can pack our preschooler a lunchbox filled with healthy snacks to enjoy while we are busy teaching our older children. This will put an end to at least one interruption!
Homeschooling with a preschooler in the house can be overwhelming at times. The following plan allows those of us with several children to effectively homeschool. We can begin by reading aloud to our preschooler and then assisting her with an activity such as washing the doll clothes. Once she understands how to perform this activity independently, we can read aloud to our children as a group. The preschooler is able to take in what is appropriate as she plays close by. Next we can select one of our capable children to read a simple book to our preschool child. This helps to occupy the young child, who may now be tired of playing on her own, and provides the older child practice with her oral reading skills. Equally important is the strengthening of the sibling relationship.
This arrangement affords us the opportunity to work individually with another child, perhaps teaching a subject that requires concentration, such as mathematics or phonics. During this time, our other children may be reading silently from books geared to their levels or engaging in an independent exercise. A non-reading child can draw a picture, put together a puzzle, or use an educational computer program. Each of our children can take turns interacting with our preschooler, either by reading aloud or by participating in an activity, allowing us the freedom to work individually with each of them as needed. This structure works well for organizational purposes and promotes numerous skills: each child needs some individual attention, each child needs to be able to teach someone else, and each child needs to be able to learn some material independently.
Homeschooling is hard work, especially with a preschooler in the house! It is easy to lose focus as we strive to provide our children with a good education. The most significant lessons we will teach our children, however, are not academic lessons, but lessons about relationships. The best place to learn about these relationships is in the confines of a loving home. Blessings will follow if we purpose to have a positive attitude toward our preschoolers. We should resist the notion that they are a burden, preventing us from teaching our older children.
I believe the learning experiences our preschoolers will encounter are as important as, or even more important than, those of our older children; for it is in the formative years that they develop habits and impressions that will affect their academic performance for a lifetime.
It is an honor, a privilege, and a blessing to teach my children. I hope you feel this way too! Our little ones will not be little foreverso it is important we make the most of the preschool years. It is important for them, and it is important for us. May the Lord bless you as you seek His best for your family.

Dear mop,
We got to know each other really well today, and it was a great time. I enjoyed every sweep. We first bonded in the janitor's room, when my hand and your handle met. Love at first sight. There literally was music, from my ipod. It happened to be a nerdy science song introducing This Week in Science, but it was a song never the less. We really got to know each other in the exercise room and had our first slow dance in the AV room. The floors shone by the time we were finished. And for those moments, I thank you greatly, my dear mop.
And then I thought of you while I inventoried the delivery of food, moving boxes of juice and coffee, lettuce and mustard, yogurt and lentils. I thought of you while I interviewed Paige for the podcast, while I ate lunch, while Krista and I picked science posters to hang in the lab, while I packed my samples into coolers.
Do you remember the time when there was two loud bangs and I had to run to the window, knowing that the bangs were cracker shells to scare a bear away? Do you remember when I dragged you to the window so you could see as the bear strode across the tundra and into the forest, so we could work and watch at the same time? It was a wonderful moment.
|Polar bear behind the building, there were two, but I only saw
one of them. Four cracker shells had to be fired before it left
the area.
I want to be honest with you, my dear mop, because you may have seen me with others throughout the day. There was the red broom and black dustpan before you, and there was the rag with window spray after you. But don't be jealous, you are my favorite cleaner. The others don't mean anything to me. It's just that you can't do everything, and I don't expect you to, so I have to work with others as well. And don't be jealous of the tent poles, it was really a group effort, not a one on one moment together. The tent poles weren't that interested in me anyways, they just wanted to stick to each other, none of the humans really developed a good relationship with any of them. But they are event tent poles, meant to hold up a huge plastic tarp to protect a couple dozen from the rain during the ribbon cutting ceremony, and being event tent poles, they are pretty stuck up and self-centered, thinking they are the most important. So don't be jealous. None of these other tasks diminish the moments that we have had with each other, my dear mop.
I do have to warn you that what we have can't last. You knew that our time was short together, a few rooms, a few hallways. I will see you again tomorrow, my dear, and we will glide across the floor once more before the stampede of people arrive for the grand opening. After that, I don't know where our future lies. You will be ok, though. You have the regulars, the daily cleaning staff, to play with you, clean you, comfort you.
Just remember the moments we had together, as I will always remember them.

Kittibun, a 25 year old guy bought a second hand Volkswagen Passat with all his savings. He had been earning since he was 21 and with all the money that he saved throughout these 4 years, he bought a Volkswagen Passat to impress his girlfriend. Kittibun never had a girlfriend before, neither in school nor in college or the workplace. He met her in a mall and acted like he is a very rich dude from the very moment he met her. To make her believe that he is a rich guy, he bought this expensive car.
His girlfriend had an idea that he is fooling her but she wouldn't tell as she enjoyed watching his dramas. Kittibun also told her that she lives in an expensive area and will soon fix a meeting at his home between her and his parents. After hearing this, his girlfriend really started believing his story that he is son of some wealthy parents.
Once Kittibun and his girlfriend were enjoying a nice wine in Kittibun's Volkswagen Passat and suddenly two geckos (ตุ๊กแก) popped up on the dashboard. Kittibun's girlfriend asked "Is that what you get when you park your car for too long in a posh locality?" Kittibun's face was worth looking at after hearing that. He was nervous and acted stupidly. He started stuttering and doing all the crazy things. Kittibun's girlfriend then told her that he needn't tell all the lies that he has been telling her and buy a product that goes by the name 'Crying Lizards' available at the Shopee. Kittibun did the same and now his car is 'gecko-free'.
