JP Morgan Raises Australia, Downgrades Malaysia

- Print Article
J.P. Morgan's Asia equity research team lifted Australia from Underweight to Neutral and downgraded Malaysia to Underweight today.
It is all about the banks.
Underpinning J.P. Morgan's decision to upgrade Australia is the recent earnings results from Westpac Banking Corp. (WBC.Australia), Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ.Australia) and National Australia Bank (NAB.Australia). "Large underweights, high
short interest, low multiples and high dividend yields provide technical support to upgrade Australian banks from neutral to OW," wrote J.P. Morgan. These three banks, along with Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA), constitute about 30% of the iShares MSCI Australia ETF (EWA).
Meanwhile, J.P. Morgan downgraded Malaysia to Underweight largely because it is worried about Malaysian banks, which also account for about 30% of the iShares MSCI Malaysia ETF (EWM):
Negative outlook on financials (c. 30% of MSCI Malaysia) driven by
increasing credit costs
due to declining loan (-6% oya in March) and deposit growth (-2% oya in March). Banks are grappling with
rising NPLs
(expected to peak at 3.1% in 2018).
The iShares MSCI Malaysia ETF has fallen 7.7% in the second quarter, making it the second worst performing market in emerging Asia after Taiwan, while the iShares MSCI Australia ETF has gained 0.8%.

A quick look at your smartphone can unveil a lot of things about your personality. The wallpaper you've set, your playlist or downloaded apps reveal what's important to you. Before personalizing your phone, you had to choose the device itself. Smartphone preference is the basic level of phone customization; even this can show some things about a person. More often than not, your smartphone is seen as a status symbol.
But don't take our word for granted. Here is formal research conducted by top scientists that surveyed over 500 respondents in the past two years concerning their telephones and what they felt about it. These conclusions might scare or fascinate you, depending on your… personality.
They found out that the respondents are increasingly getting anxious concerning their smartphones as status objects. Nonetheless, that's not the juicier part of their study.
They also observed that many of them are younger females. It can be construed that they are conscious to the image they project, and as to what the society thinks of them. In extreme cases, some might even say that they have a tendency to lie just to get things for themselves.
Of course, that doesn't mean they are prone to emotional bursts and are full of themselves. Some might even relate this to the US-elect President Donald Trump. We're sorry to burst the party but he is still more of a tech user.
The research also stated the traits of a medium Android user. They are generally more agreeable, less prone to violate rules and they don't pay much attention with keeping the rich lifestyle.
This study was originally presented last September at the annual conference of British Psychological Society-Social Psychology Section. Ultimately, the study was formally introduced in the academic world through Cyberpsychology, Behavior and Social Networking.
Nevertheless, the study needs to be expanded. There can be another set of surveys for those who ticker their phones from Android to iPhone and vice versa. It might be simplistic at the moment, but it offers a nice insight on what goes in our minds when we own things.
Does age really matters?
Apple started targeting young people with the "Mac VS PC" campaign a few year ago. The add represented Mac as a young tech knack and full of answers, whilst the PC was old, outdated and undependable. These ads helped Apple to connect and approach youngsters. When it comes to customer preferences, youngsters now tend to choose Mac over Windows.
Data shows us that smartphones and tablets users of all ages happen to find iOS equally interesting. Speaking about age, the biggest difference in device selection is tablets. The use of Android tablets increases with users' age. Kindle e.g. is not only popular between older customers, but is mostly used by women.
The difference between Men and Women
Alongside, men and women both prefer Windows over Mac. Mac is a little more popular among women with only two percent. Likewise, women are more supposable to own iPhones than men. This can mean that women are more likely to be interested in the iPhone's slick design (or that men who own an iPhone are more open to better design).
Smartphone companies can also use this data to market their products to the right demographic.
These days, if you see someone pulling out a flape telephone or a "hunk phone", I bet your jaw will drop. Even though Blackberry and even Nokia introduced elements that put it in the smart class, you rarely see someone using them today.
TalkTalk mobile made a survey about Android, Apple and Blackberry holders. According to this survey, BlackBerry users are more likely to make a lot of cash and to work in finance and healthcare field. They also declared that they consume a lot of coffee and have more longer relations than iPhone and Android users.
Blackberry users tend to be more frugal than tech savvy. In addition, we can say that people who have older phones are persons who prefer simplicity. This shows that technology is not so important for them, and prefer to spend money on experiencing life before things.
Android is today the highly used operating system. This operating system is mostly preferred by millennials. A study made by Battery Ventures established that Android users are presumtive to be smokers, or on the other side, to be more religious than iPhone users.
A study made in U.K found out that Android users tend to be:
- More honest;
- Older;
- Male;
- More agreeable;
- Less concerned in fortune and rank;
- Less probable to break rules.
iPhone users tend to just follow a trend and they are not actually interested in freedom or in free customization. They tend to like things simple, easy and which usually work. When you see somebody getting out a brand new iPhone, the first things that rush into your mind are that this person is rich and likes to be in trend with the new technology.
A study made in U.K showed that Android users tend to be:
- More extroverted;
- Younger;
- More as likely to be women;
- Concerned in fortune and rank.
What can you say about these findings? Do you agree, at least with some?

The New York Optimist
Energy and Recovery,
-Taimak Guarriello
The most important factors that every athlete, that every person, engaging in a physical activity, wishes to
accomplish. Whether you are a professional 22-year old basketball player, an Olympic class weight lifter or a 67 year-
old woman doing water aerobics, you want to know that you are reaching your peak energy level on a sustained
basis. You want to ensure that you are achieving peak performance at all times.
You want to have extra energy day-to-day and every day. Energy for a workout, energy for a big game and energy in
your daily life. Are you looking for extra energy, recuperative capacity, body regeneration, anti-aging, sexual energy,
mental balance and overall healing?
Energy, by itself, is not everything that you need. You have had a long day and you feel the strain. Or your body's
muscles have undergone a strenuous workout. You are starting to feel those aches and pains that you know will grow
even more over the next day or so, in particular if your body doesn't receive the rest and nutrients that it requires. You
risk that, after exertion, catabolistic effects may lead to muscular breakdown and other forms of micro, and even
macro, damage.
How Protein Extreme Complex Works to Your Benefit
How does Protein Extreme Complex attain the results that you need, as an athlete, as a parent, as a student, or at
work? That is, how do you increase your levels of energy on a sustained basis?
Your body consists of approximately 6 trillion electron moving batteries that are commonly referred to as cells. When
your cells are healthy each one produces between 70 and 100 millivolts, each of which are important to your vital life
energy. What if you could increase your energy in electrons, giving you a sustained energy level?
Vital life energy is dependent on each of your batteries - each of your cells - functioning at a maximum voltage with
unimpeded electron transfer.
Protein Extreme Complex systemically supplies recognizable electrons and balances the transfer system.
Through a balanced systemic release of proteins, anti-inflammatory effects, systemic electrical cellular activation and
anti-xenoestrogen nutrients, Protein Extreme Complex offers your body Energy and Recovery and assists your body
in its recovery, achieving anabolism, or growth, and not catabolism, or breakdown.
Protein Extreme Complex Leads to Endurance and Increased Lean Muscle Tissue
Because glycoprotein delivers a slower, sustained release, these carbohydrate proteins do not overburden the kidneys.
High albumin glycoprotein provides a mild, balanced insulin response allowing it to be assimilated more effectively
once it enters the bloodstream. This enables protein to quickly infuse the cells resulting in less kidney stress and less
metabolic protein waste, such as ammonia. This slower, sustained release of glycoprotein provides a balanced
anabolic state leading to increased lean muscle tissue, strength and endurance for the athlete.
High Net Nitrogen Utilization = Faster Recovery
Why is anabolism so important to an athlete's recovery after exertion? What does it mean after your workout, game or
competition? Anabolic means growth and catabolic means breakdown. Heavy exercise, regardless of whether you are
pushing yourself to the reach to top of the trail on your bike, you're running the Boston Marathon or you're playing a
pickup game of basketball, tends to cause muscle breakdown and other forms of micro, and sometimes macro,
When proteins are ingested a certain percentage are used by the body for anabolic purposes. This is called net
nitrogen utilization (nnu). Some proteins have a higher value to the body. The percent that is not used by the body is
catabolic and the body must remove the acidic protein waste. Proteins with higher nnu ratings assimilate easier and
more completely, thus limiting stress on kidney and liver function when there is less metabolic waste to process. A
healthy functioning liver can prevent oxidation of cholesterol and maintain proper HDL and LDL levels.
Protein Extreme Complex contains no caffeine or stimulants, and instead uses a combination of natural energy
producing supplements and proteins. PEC starts with properties to detoxify foreign estrogens that interfere with health
endocrine function. Xenoestrogens are an athlete's worse nightmare as they induce inflammation which slow
recuperative capacity. During and after most workouts, the body has a higher than normal free radical load, both our
electron supply and our electron transfer systems become depleted. The combination of the protein and cleansing
quickly corrects the pro inflammatory electron depletion. This leads to more energy for training and faster recovery
for embracing new activities the next day.
Your body's muscles recuperation takes place not during exercise, but while you rest and are at sleep. As you enter
into a deep sleep, growth hormones are secreted which in turn lead to the production of Immunoglobulin-G.
Protein Extreme Complex supplies igf fully intact for enhanced muscle growth and body fat reduction. Your body's
muscles recuperation takes place not during exercise, but while you rest and are at sleep. As you enter into a deep
sleep, growth hormones are secreted which in turn lead to the production of Immunoglobulin-G.
Protein Extreme Complex detoxifies metabolic waste products
allowing for reduced muscle soreness and faster exercise recovery.

Social engineering is so interesting. You can get all access of a system without a little technical information. To protect yourself is not that easy. A social engineer who has done much researching about his victim can do many harmful things.
You cannot hide your foot prints on internet. There are several command line utilities which use google and find all pdf, txt file on a domain then extract user names from those documents.
User names are so important and easy to get…. After I see people's hotmail and google passwords, I can say guessing password based on social engineering is easy too.
Social engineering and computer forensics are two things I want to specialize in.
Learning crackers tactics can help security people to protect their users.
I am currently busy with some networking stuff. However, I will love to learn more some social engineering tools. There is a good website for this purpose: http://www.social-engineer.org/
As it said at the website "Because there is no patch for human stupidity"

The Beloved Hopechest by Amy Clipston
Mattie's daughters want to hear about their mother's past and the secrets she has kept in her heart.
It was a hard time for Mattie as she experiences personal trials almost beyond what she can bear or handle alone. I think this book, especially, teaches of trusting in God to help us handle and overcome those hard trials in life that alone we can not accomplish.
The book is a part of a set that you will want to read in order to gain the best understanding and enjoyment. I loved these books and am so pleased that I was able to read them. They are very well done and will touch your heart.
I received an ebook copy from NetGalley. All thoughts are my own.

Enter the world of Attiras, a harsh landscape packed with strange, powerful creatures. A society that has stood for millennia faces a great period of upheaval — and as the sibling of the heir apparent, you find yourself in the eye of the storm. Will you be able to secure the future of your homeland? Or is the kingdom of Attiras destined to fall? By the end of Forged of Blood, players will know the answer.
Forged of Blood is the ambitious new game from Indonesian developer Critical Forge. It's a complex turn-based tactical RPG that combines a painstakingly detailed setting with meticulously designed gameplay systems.
Coming from a development team influenced by an eclectic list of games including Skyrim, X-Com, Planescape: Torment, Baldur's Gate, and old-school Dungeons & Dragons, you can get an idea of the kind of gameplay Forged of Blood will offer up. Combat plays out on a 3D isometric battlefield, with minute-to-minute tactics and overarching strategy both having an impact on the player's success or failure.
For instance, players will see their influence on the world of Attiras as they make decisions that shape the narrative throughout the game. They'll also be able to customize their character by tinkering with the game's nine weapons and weapon ability trees, its six general ability trees, and its vast spellcrafting system.
Critical Forge describes the latter mechanic as 'the spellcrafting system of your dreams,' and considering its scope, it's not difficult to see why. It boasts a stupendous 3,822 unique effect combinations, a number that grows even larger when other modifiers are taken into account.
Like every other part of Forged of Blood, the spellcrafting system is designed to give players full control over the way they experience the game. Want to play as a mage who develops their own unique strand of magic? Go ahead. Prefer to ignore spells all together and whale upon your enemies with an axe? That's fine, too.
If Forged of Blood sounds like a game you would like to play, now is the time to contribute to its Kickstarter campaign. The game is set to release in 2018, but only if its funding goal of $105,637 can be accomplished. For more information on this compelling fantasy RPG, head over to its official website — and for all the latest updates on lore, game mechanics, and more, don't forget to check out the Official Forged of Blood Wiki.
Bunkbeds started out with Gamepedia by contributing to its Star Citizen Wiki. Now, he helps the editorial team keep readers in the know about new Wiki announcements and other exciting developments.

this week has been hectic. i was putting out fires at the paper all week, not eating and then overeating, not getting any sleep and not seeing any of my friends. i almost broke up with my boyfriend at school yesterday, while sitting two tables away from some really close friends.
i don't know what is wrong with me. i really need to find a routine that doesn't stress me out while i'm in production. since the weekends are pretty much the only time that i have any moments to myself, i need to find ways to cope. its not that i don't want to be there every step of the way with the paper, but i also need to not drive myself to the point of insanity. i was so stressed out last night that i smoked a joint at school. i thought that i would never do that, but i was just so overwhelmed that i did it. and i don't want to be that kid anymore, the one that gets high before class and makes grades and thinks its fucking hilarious. idk. i want to keep weed out of the picture for the moment.
in other news…
american apparel got stopped! how awesome is that?
anyway, i'm still waiting for my tshirt to come in. c'mon print liberation, don't let me down!
tomorrow is going to be a much needed day of errands and running around the city. hopefully i'll run into someone? i'm hoping so.
and i got my financial aid money! YESSS. 😀
expect pictures soon. i'm sorry i haven't been busting them out as frequently [or posts for that matter], but i've been in the newsroom all week and the last thing i need is a gig of pictures from those arrogant assholes.
what did you do this week?
Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: three clicks, thursday
- i totally suffer from this and i don't even care.
- never struggle to find that word again!
- i encourage everyone to use this. if its not well developed in your area, then add to it!

if you live in san francisco, drop what you're doing. RIGHT NOW. and click here.
then, make some plans tomorrow or this weekend involving this sandwich shop.
i will tell you right now that it is not for the faint of heart — only those who aspire to take anything above and beyond, one toke over the line or to the next level will love this place. ike is amazingly nice and he will treat you well — there are a lot of choices, so the website will help you decide what you are feeling. he can help you out with something if you decide to change your mind last minute, as there are about 150 combos on the menu.
i made one of my writer's review it in this week's issue of the paper, but the other day i needed an afternoon off so i had to drop by and see it for myself.
i ended up deciding on the "change" sandwich last minute. it was a hasty decision that i wouldn't have made with a conscious mind, but i was so ravenous by the time i showed up that i would have eaten two pieces of beef jerky between some stale white bread.
my sandwich was the perfect texture and taste — great balance between veggies and meat. the one thing that was a little much was the bbq sauce though. i'm sure they have customers that love them for it, but it was just a bit too messy for me.
anyway, spend this weekend in the castro — do some shopping, some laying out in the sun and GO TO IKES. you won't be sorry. [emma, lets go!]

finally, i can update. i have had a great amount of fun, but the last week has also been a lot of work.
and as much as i had fun all weekend, i started school bright and early on monday morning. i spent 13 HOURS at school on monday. 13! it was insane. and i was one of the more organized editors. but things are shaping up quite nicely and i'm super stoked about manning the page. the first issue is going to kind of suck, but i'm pretty sure that all the future issues are going to be on point and really awesome. i will try to post the pages if i can — the designer for the paper, erika, is working really hard to make them look amazing.
other than that, school is looking like just another semester. my homework doesn't seem too hard, my teachers seem like they're trying to be intimidating in all the wrong kinds of ways and i'm already bored. but i only spent $80 on books this semester [that's such a record, its ridiculous], so not a lot of reading is always good.
i'm finally having a chill night after a hectic week — being up at 6am and then going to bed after 1 every night for 5 nights is not exactly heaven. i can't sleep in tomorrow, either — i want to make breakfast, go to the gym, go around the city, write people and catch up on life after i've been living in a hole for a week. i think fridays are going to be reserved strictly for getting inspired. i mean, you wanna be inspired always, don't you? DON'T YOU?
also, i'm stoked on literary journalism.

today has been infinitely better. i'm updating right before i pick up my brother at the airport — yay! — and its going to be a weekend of madness. i still have so much work to do, but i'm not going to let it get in the way of my last days of freedom. i'm kind of sad that i'm not going to be able to go out with my friend daniella for drinks tonight on her birthday [shout out, woo!], since she's going to some north beach haunts that i love. nonetheless, i am super excited that my bro is almost here!
i spent most of the day in one of my favorite cafe's in the city with daniella, doing crazy work for the paper. i'm still a little scared as far as what is going to happen, since i'm not satisfied with a majority of the writers and i haven't finished all of the content. i want this to be the best it can possibly be, but i'm a perfectionist. it will always be the death of me. so hopefully the first issue won't be totally horrid.
i'm totally in love with everything upper playground — i try not to go by there too often because i always get the need to spend money. i'm mad cause i don't have that much cash right now, but their 50% off sale is still going on on the website, so i'm definitely going to order this, this and this before the sale is up. i called and they said that the sale ended sunday, but bah! i will overcome!
i also have been seriously regretting all of the time i seem to have wasted over break. i didn't read the books all the books that i got for christmas, i didn't do nearly as much writing or art as i had wanted and i haven't really gotten into the swing with taking pictures with my newly adapted 35mm holga. but, i did have fun and seemed to have spent way too much money. haha. isn't that the case with everything though?

Dallas, TX – This week, KERA 90.1 is airing a series of reports: 'Engineering Hope: Groundbreaking Research That Could Change Our Lives'. In today's report KERA's BJ Austin visits a lab where researchers from North Texas universities are developing the next generation of prosthetic limbs for injured soldiers. It's cutting-edge research that could allow amputees to move more naturally and sense feeling with their artificial limbs.
In a busy Starbucks, two things make 28-year-old Clint Barkley stand out in the crowd: his clean cut good looks and his walk.
Barkley: We were just south of Fallujah in 2005. We ran over a land mine. I lost my left leg. Our gunner lost both of his feet below his knee.
The former Marine from Bedford walks unevenly, slightly stiff, but full of confidence. He wears a ten pound, titanium leg. It attaches mid-thigh and has a computerized knee.
Barkley: It reads your body weight, how you're moving and it reacts accordingly. I put my heel down then as I go and put all the pressure in my toe it knows I'm taking a step so it releases and kicks the foot back forward for me.
But what it doesn't do is allow a smooth, natural gait. And the leg does not allow him to feel the gravel in a driveway or the heat of an asphalt parking lot in August. But that could be in his future.
A consortium of scientists and engineers in North Texas and elsewhere are working on a way for the brain, the body's nerve impulses and an artificial limb to "talk" to each other. That could allow an amputee to "think" about moving an artificial arm or leg and the limb would respond immediately and more naturally. Conversely, the artificial limb would talk to the brain, giving it sensory input, thereby allowing the amputee to "feel". The research is being led by Marc Christensen, Professor of Engineering Innovation at Southern Methodist University. But, part of the project is taking place in a noisy, unassuming lab at the University of North Texas. That's where Christensen talked about the research, being funded initially by a 5.5 million dollar grant from the Department of Defense.
The idea is to put thousands of microscopic, silicon-like sensors on a single fiber - maybe as thin as a hair. Christensen says the combo of sensors and fiber optics would be implanted in the body and pass nerve signals to and from the artificial limb.
Christensen: We have incredibly sophisticated robotic arms. What we don't have is a perfect interface that when you think it, it does it. And when it feels something you experience it.
Christensen says there's a lot of similar research going on, but SMU has a secret weapon. It's Dr. Volkan Otugen, Chairman of Mechanical Engineering who has pioneered the microscopic sensors that connect to the optical fibers.
Otugen: They would sense the activity, nerve activity, nerve signal and transmit it to another location. From there it could also activate and create another light pulse to stimulate another part of the nerve. So it would be both sensing and stimulation. So, it's a two way communication between let's say the brain and a limb.
Dr. Otugen is making the super-tiny sensor "spheres" out of a spongy, silicon-like material that's almost like body tissue. And that's much better than the surgically implanted metal electrodes used in many other projects. They can damage tissue and can be rejected by the body's immune system. UNT's Dr. Guenter Gross, Professor of Biological Sciences, is testing the squishy-type materials and single cells for compatibility. He showed me how he monitors the neurons on computer screens.
Gross: The one on the front is really a bio-chemical test. This is now day 11.
Marc Christensen says this is extremely exciting work. And to think it started with a lunchtime discussion over Italian food, and diagrams on a napkin.
Christensen: This is a brand new idea that not anyone had really thought about more than a year or two ago. We're bringing together leading researchers in everything from photonics to packaging, to mechanical engineering to neuroscience trying to bring all of those pieces together to develop this new interface for the human nervous system. I think this is something where engineering and science can do good in the world. I think it is a very audacious, but very relevant goal.
Dr. Otugen cautions the research is in the very beginning stages. Right now, they're working with a bullfrog.
Otguen: He's in the biology department at SMU in the basement, and he's well-fed for now.
Human trials are at least a decade away.
Former Marine Corps Corporal Clint Barkley and his buddies can't wait.
Barkley: Any advance would be gigantic. It would be enormous for someone in my place.
Joining SMU and UNT in this research are the University of Texas at Dallas; Case Western Reserve in Cleveland, and Vanderbilt in Nashville.
The University of Texas at Arlington is doing related research under a Department of Defense grant.

AUGUST 9, 2019: Western Montana Wildland Fire and Smoke Update
Our daily rain dance apparently worked, and we're experiencing cooler weather and rain in parts of Western Montana. But we do have a bit of activity that we'd like to mention.
There is a growing fire in the Bob Marshall Wilderness area which is throwing a wrench into the plans of folks who were planning on rafting on the South Fork of the Flathead River. Hiking and river traffic in the area was shut down on Wednesday.
The Beeskove Fire, northeast of Missoula, remains small but persistent, due in part to the rocky and remote terrain on which it's burning. Because of the fire and the firefighting efforts, a number of trails are closed in the Rattlesnake Wilderness. Luckily for us, the Rattlesnake Wilderness is huge, and just as many trails remain open.
We're experiencing a bit of smoke, but it's mostly aesthetic, and the health department so far has not issued any warnings about air quality. And, because we like to look on the bright side, the sunsets are incredible because of it.
AUGUST 2, 2019: Western Montana Wildland Fire and Smoke Update
You may be hearing about an uptick in wildland fire activity in Western Montana. We've got a couple. There's a small but wily fire just north of Missoula called the Beeskove Fire, and every time there's a lightning storm we experience a rash of activity including some smoke from surrounding areas like Idaho, Washington and Canada. Conditions are hot and dry, so we've got potential.
Most fires in our area take place in the backcountry and are usually sparked by lightning. They're a natural part of our ecosystem. One of the results of wildland fires, whether in Montana or one of the surrounding states, is that the air can become smoky. And, occasionally plans have to be altered because of a road closure. We're here to help in case either of these situations impact your trip to Western Montana's Glacier Country.
Check out some of the resources below. They'll let you know if there are any fires in the area, where the fires are (or, more importantly, where they aren't), where the smoke is and if your visit to Western Montana will be impacted by either. Chances are, it won't be, but if it is, here are a few things to keep in mind.
- You're safe. Most wildland fires, when they happen, are in the back country, miles from civilization and any structures. Montana is home to 3,443,038 acres of wilderness, and most fires happen there. If, by chance, a wildland fire gets close to a community, our firefighting experts communicate, evacuate and communicate some more. You will not find yourself unwittingly in the midst of a wildfire while driving down the highway. Ever. Public safety is always the first concern. If an area is open, it is safe.
- Montana is huge. Vast, in fact. Over 145,556 square miles or 94,109,440 acres, to be precise. If you read that a fire is 6,400 acres, keep it in perspective, as that's only a tiny, tiny fraction of Montana's total acreage. Sometimes newspaper headlines or social media posts can be unnecessarily dramatic and imply that Montana as a whole is "on fire." It sounds better than to say .000068 of Montana is on fire, which is actually more accurate.
- Fire is a natural part of our region's ecology. Most fires are started by lightning, and are responsible for maintaining the health and perpetuity of certain fire-dependent ecosystems. We don't pretend to be scientists, but we do have a lot of scientists in our area and resources in our partners at the state and federal levels, and we've attached a link to fire ecology below.
- And, because we always think the glass is at least half full here in Glacier Country, when the sky is a bit smoky, the sunsets are truly phenomenal. And, morel mushrooms, which are comparable to the delicious caviar of the mushroom family, like to grow in post-fire areas. We like that.
Here are some links that will help you stay informed in case there are wildland fires in Western Montana and help you make informed travel decisions. Check back often, as these sites are updated daily.

We are also lucky to have many webcams set up across Western Montana so we can see the beauty of Glacier Country at any time. You can also see if there's smoke in the area.
Here are a few so you can see what is happening right now in our area:
- Montana Department of Transportation
- Glacier National Park
- Bitterroot Valley
- Monture Mountain (Near Ovando)
- Woods Bay in Bigfork (Flathead Lake)
- Whitefish Mountain Resort
And, although I think we'd all agree we'd rather not have to deal with smoke, it's not calamitous, and if one area is smoky, there are always many, many places in Western Montana, and the state in general, that aren't. If there does happen to be some smoke in the air, we have lots of indoor activities to keep visitors entertained. Museums? Breweries? Arts? Great dining options? We've got it all.

Statistics Definitions > Upper Tail and Lower Tail
What is a "Tail"?
The "tails" of a distribution are, just like the name suggests, the appendages on the side of a distribution. Although it can apply to a set of data, it makes more sense if that data is graphed, because the tails become easily visible. For example, the following image shows the tails of a normal distribution:
The tail on the left is (perhaps not surprisingly) called a left-tail; The one on the right is a right-tail. A distribution doesn't have to have both: it can have only one tail on one side.
Upper Tail and Lower Tail
Although it's more common to refer to the tails as being on the "left" or "right", this can pose problems if you aren't looking at a graph. In other words, if you're dealing with a set of data, it won't be very clear what data should go on the left or right of a graph. The alternate name for right and left tails, which addresses this issue, is upper tail and lower tail.
Lower Tail (Left Tail)
The lower tail contains the lower values in a distribution. If you graph any distribution on a Cartesian plane, the lowest set of number will always appear on the left, because the lowest values on a number line are to the left. So, "lower tail" means the same thing as "left tail".
Upper Tail (Right Tail)
Similarly, the upper tail contains the upper values in a distribution. If you graph any distribution on a Cartesian plane, the highest numbers will always appear on the right, because the highest values on a number line are to the right. So, "upper tail" means the same thing as "right tail".

Badoo launches in the US with photo shoot: video
Badoo, the social network dedicated to chatting, flirting and meeting people in your area, is officially launching in the US this month. Though it already has six million members registered in the States, the London based company hasn't tackled this overseas market until now.
Instead of hitting multiple cities with its launch, the company has focused on New York as its first city to tackle. It is taking an integrated marketing approach with a campaign that kicked off last week in Soho with a 1,000-person photo shoot to help people achieve their ultimate profile picture.

There is nothing better than starting the New Year surrounded by inspiring, adorable and super chic #girlbosses 🙂 We are so in love with the community My Haute Society has started to form and love being able to see that first hand at our happy hours. This month we hosted our New Year, New Cheer event at Que Bueno Suerte... Of course, tacos and tequila again! We were so impressed by the vibrant and beuaitufl colors throughout the place. It was the perfect spot for an event and it definitely didn't disappoint. From delicious margarita's to yummy little bites QBS is the spot to be! It's located on South Pearl Street surrounded by adorable shops and we are already itching for it to get warm so we can use their huge patio section! If you live in Denver, you already know patio spots are the place to be in the Summer and this one just got added to our list.
The best thing about these events is listing in on the conversations had by our favorite blogger babes. It's so cool to see the different relationships forming simply from the fact that we brought them together. It's also super humbling to be thanked for the advice and time we put into building this community. Neither of us could have ever dreamed of being where we're at now and know it's only going to get better from here.
Community over Competition
Blogging is not an easy word to be in. Yes, it can be really inspiring, but it can also feel extremely difficult to stand out. So many woman get stuck in the mindset that they're on their own which is no way to have fun in a business. We are huge advocates of the 'community over completion' mindset and love watching that come to life at our events. Without a community of motivating and strong woman behind you it can be difficult to enjoy what you're doing and what you're pushing out into the world. If you're struggling to find that, make a point to come to our next event because we promise you will not be disappointed 🙂 Cheers!

The Cuyahoga County Council introduced legislation calling for the banning of disposable plastic bags at Tuesday's meeting.

"This is so vital to our future generation and to our human health it's essential that we do something now."

Prosthodontics is the specialized field of dentistry concerned with diagnosing, planning and executing restorative and cosmetic treatments. Dentists who choose to specialize in prosthodontics must complete three or four more years of dedicated training following dental school.
A prosthodontist is in essence an architect, who formulates a comprehensive treatment plan and informs the patient as to what is possible. Missing or defective teeth can be extremely detrimental to self-esteem and self-confidence. Using the latest technology, a prosthodontist is able to fill these gaps with functional, natural-looking teeth that boost confidence and enhance the smile.
There are many reasons why a prosthodontist may be consulted, including (but not limited to):
What treatments can the prosthodontist perform?
Prosthodontic treatments are designed to be functional, long lasting and pleasing to the eye. These procedures can only be completed on generally healthy teeth. Issues like gum disease need to be controlled before prosthodontic treatments can begin.
There are an ever-increasing number of hi-tech prosthodontic treatments available including the following:
Dental Implants – Implants are designed to replace the natural teeth in the best possible way. Titanium roots are implanted in the jawbone in the same way as natural tooth roots. Implants look and feel the same as natural teeth.
Dental Veneers – Veneers are porcelain/ceramic covers that are bonded to the natural teeth. Veneers can instantly solve problems like uneven teeth, stained teeth, and chips and damage caused by general wear and tear.
Dental Crowns – Prosthetic crowns are generally made from porcelain, metal or a combination of the two. They have been designed to mimic the natural crown (surface of the tooth) and can last for up to a decade, and possibly longer.
Dental Bridges – Conventional and cantilever bridges are used to support a prosthetic tooth. The natural teeth can support the bridge if they are in good condition, or dental implants may be used as anchors.
Complete Dentures – A complete set of dentures can be created for people who have no teeth due to gum disease or trauma. Complete dentures restore functionality to the mouth and make chewing and speaking easier.
Partial Dentures – Where many teeth have been lost, removable or fixed partial dentures can prove to be an excellent option. They enhance the aesthetics of the smile in addition to improving chewing abilities.
What other problems can a prosthodontist treat?
In addition to performing the treatments described above, the prosthodontist is also adept at treating problems with the jaw (TMJ), alleviating severe snoring, managing sleep apnea, and reconstructing the teeth following oral cancer treatments. Generally, the prosthodontist works in combination with other dental health professionals to ensure the best possible restorative results are achieved.
If you have questions or concerns about prosthodontics, please contact your prosthodontist.

Mia's Heart
Author: Courtney Cole
Release Date: November 13, 2012
Genre: YA Contemporary
Published By: Lakehouse Press
Source: Kismet Book Tours
My name is Mia Giannis.
I am seventeen years old.
I live in Valese, Caberra.
This has become my mantra and my lifeline, having recently lost my memory due to a scary natural disaster.
Yeah. I have amnesia. Messed up, right?
You don't know the half of it.
Not remembering anything has turned my world upside down. My parents try their hardest to "remind" me of who I was, but it doesn't feel right. Or, if what they're saying is true and that really was me, I'm not sure I like that person very much.
And then there's my love life. Apparently, Gavin Ariastasis is my oldest and best friend in the world. Also, apparently, we've never dated. But now, noticing him for what feels like the first time, he's making my heart do somersaults. He knows me inside and out—the real me. Plus, he's sexy and charming as hell. Sounds perfect, right?
But then... there's the new guy. Quinn McKeyen – tall, gorgeous and deliciously American. His mischievous grin and slow Midwestern drawl turn my insides to mush in two seconds flat making me question who I really am and what I really want.
Seriously. What am I supposed to do with all that?! I feel torn between them, but I barely even know who I am, let alone what I want.
I just hope my indecisive heart will clue me in. And sooner rather than later…before I lose what little of my mind that I have left.
My Thoughts:
I have been anxiously awaiting the return of Mia, Gavin, Quinn, Reece and Dante. Dante's Girl was such a sweet, fun read and I couldn't wait to find out if Mia was going to get her happily ever after as well.
Poor Mia! Really, I can't imagine waking up and not knowing anyone, not even yourself. How terrifying not to know anything about who you are, how you feel about someone, what you like or hate! If that's not enough, now she has the added stress of falling for a gorgeous guy. Wait...make that two gorgeous guys. She now has to decide which boy she's in love with and which one is just a friend. The stunning boy she's known all her life but can't remember or the rugged cowboy that makes her heart race?
Luckily her best friends Reece and Dante come back ready to help Mia get her memories back and to help clean and rebuild the beautiful city of Caberra. There is a lot to love about this novel but one of my favorite parts was how gentle Reece was with Mia. She is always there for her and selflessly helps her through every scary, confusing moment. Even though Mia can't remember Reece she can see why Reece was her best friend.
I really enjoyed the way Cole had Mia grow without the edge of all of the resentment she had held onto with her mother. It was interesting to see her become basically who she had been without all that anger. As for the boys I definitely had my favorite picked out well before Mia did.
Mia's Heart is a sweet novel that [aired up with a cup of hot chocolate on a cold winter's night just might have the ability to make your teeth ache (in a good way). I'm really curious to see what and who the next book has in store for us.

With the benefit of over 15 years of R&D in fashion, the House of Deola presents further evidence of its unparallelled creativity and craftsmanship, in Teintes de Bijoux.
Every bride can be a princess! Every family, royalty! 'Teintes de Bijoux' is the latest expression of the Komole range; a selection of designs for bridal and occasion wear. They draw upon the mood and myths evoked through the ages by royalty, African royalty.
What is the Komole range?
The Komole is an assemblage of designs for bridal and occasional wear drawing upon the mood and romance evoked by royalty and royal weddings through the ages. Komole – which means to dance- is occasion wear.
The Komole assemblage has over 20 years of research and development put into it to achieve this impressive and deep bridal wears for the beautiful African woman. The design combines Aso-oke and lace and in the words of the creator of this beautiful piece, Deola Ade Ojo,"It is not just a parallel to the European lace but a usurper… making the new design even better than the sum of its parts.
There is no need any more to have Aso-oke and a lace outfit as two answers to an occasion's fashion demands. We have combined both into one and by so doing transcended, making the new creation even better than the sum of its parts.
The new fabric motifs and the fashions that we have formed them into elevate the wearer to royalty level, while still keeping her culturally grounded – I believe that this is what true class and elegance is about, shining in the form of a glow rather than a tinselly shine".

With unerring attention to detail, the rich hues of the Teintes de Bijoux 2018 Collection, adopting laser cut techniques, re-imagines Nigeria's top drawer traditional woven cloth, 'Aso-Oke', with the House of Deola's distinct motifs.
Woven from tonal yarns to mimic jewel hues, these masterpieces are discreet yet replete with grace, speaking to ethereal grandeur.
Adorned in Komole's 'Teintes de Bijoux', the feminine form instantly embodies a jewel, natural, rare, of great value and irresistible. The collection exudes an elegance that reaffirms Africa's natural grace.
No two Komole pieces are the same; every piece is made with its own elegantly crafted motif. With colours such as Smint, Rude Amber, Blushed Bronze, Cosmic Copper and Dangerous Ruby, the iridescent jewel tones of the 'Teintes de Bijoux' will speak to you and speak of you!

Terral BlackStar
Published on May 24, 2018
Seismic event indicators say Earth has passed the peak of the first earth-change uptick period for the 2018 Earth orbit cycle relative to the Black Star positioned in the Libra Constellation relative to the Sun. Year-over-year weekly seismic-event values for Week 13 show one 8-magnitude quake (2014) and two of the 7-magnitude earthquake events (2014, 2015) for the last five orbit cycles. The 2016 event values are extremely low, because the nearside-alignment quake event (7.0 Vanuatu) came in Week 12 a week early. We are looking at a similar situation for 2018 with the 6.9 Hawaii Quake (May 4) where Jupiter in Libra (info) appears to be playing a key solar-system-harmonics role.

Non-supporters of the research can read last week's newsletter using the complimentary link to Newsletter 20: https://goo.gl/vLfJqA ...Week-over-week seismic-event values for Week 13 show no 7-magnitude earthquake events for eleven weeks in a row, which is another sign that Earth is following the 2017 seismic pattern. Earth saw three of the 6-magnitude quake events Week 11 (including 6.9 Hawaii), which combined with 644 of the 2.5 to 4-mag quake events represents the high watermark of earth-change activity for determining the time of the Sun-Earth-Black Star nearside-alignment quake event. While Jupiter influence may be the culprit in producing what appears to be an early-alignment event, my suspicion from doing hours of research this week is that possible mistakes have been made in the way weeks have been added to the end of each orbit cycle. The forecast is to see a decrease in global seismic activity between now and August 2018 with peaks and valleys showing up along the way. Kilauea is expected to have decreased seismic and volcanic activity now that Earth has moved beyond the alignment, but we must realize that the Black Star-Earth magnetic portal connection remains extremely short from Black Star-Earth near proximity; which means the potential for powerful eruptions remain in the cards for the coming weeks. The combined seismic data says Earth dodged the Black Star bullet for the 2018 Earth orbit cycle, as our planet has passed the May 20th Black Star-Earth Convergence Date. California and the US/Canada West Coast have also dodged the Deep Magma-Plume bullet, as the 600-mile differential-distance between the two-primary deep magma-plume formations has already started growing with Earth core expected to cool between now and August 2018. The projection is for the 600-mile differential value to be tested again, as the Earth passes behind the Sun relative to the Black Star in November 2018, when Jupiter and Saturn will play key solar-system harmonics roles with the Black Star positioned nearby in the Libra Constellation relative to the Sun.

Hunter monsters are enemies in The Consuming Shadow that spawn randomly (however they spawn noticeably more often after the find an occult text mission) that will attempt to attack the player. When spawned, the player will be alerted with a new objective that will say something like "GET AWAY!" rather than the usual "Return to car." objective. They can spawn in every single room one enters, except for the dungeon's entrance room. Some hunter monsters can be killed, however they don't usually stay dead, nor do they drop special items. Fleeing a room with a hunter monster incurs no sanity loss.
The four hunter monsters are the Overseer, the Fat Man, the Tall Man and Ghosts.
If you're satisfied with simply fleeing instead of continuing to search for loot and clues, one can quickly check if a hunter will appear by checking the pause menu. If the 'escape dungeon' button is unavailable, then start running. (You cannot use this option if a hunter is present in the dungeon.) This is useful, as the in-game telegraphing of the appearance of the hunter only appears after the 'Dungeon Complete!' message has faded.
Another name for the hunter monsters is 'pursuit monster', however in a review of the game by game developer Yahtzee Croshaw, he refers to them as 'hunter monsters'.

A new Moving Poems production, remixing Vallejo's classic poem prognosticating his own death with time-lapse photography and Creative Commons-licensed music (from Magna Ingress). For the translation, I enlisted the help of some friends with better Spanish than mine: Jean Morris and Natalie d'Arbeloff, among others, on the Poetry from the Other Americas Facebook group. Another member of the group, the Spanish filmmaker and actor Eduardo Yagüe, was kind enough to supply the voiceover.
Shockingly, this is the first Vallejo poem on Moving Poems. I can't think of any other Latin American poet of his stature whom I've so neglected. I did make one other video for a poem of his some years ago, but I guess I must've decided it wasn't quite up to snuff.
A text by the 20th-century Brazilian poet Cecília Meireles, read and translated into English by the London-based artist Natalie d'Arbeloff, has been translated into film by the indefatigable Belgian videopoet Marc Neys A.K.A. Swoon in a lovely and moving tribute to his late mother. He writes:
My mother passed away.
This is a tribute to her and the way she directed her own ending.
The soundtrack is the end of this, re-edited with a reading by the translator Natalie d'Arbeloff. [Bandcamp link]
For the visual part of the video I used a split screen. Footage of leaves floating, a fish, reflections of leaves (by me), an old tea kettle drifiitng on the sea and the shade of a butterfly (Credit to Jan Eerala)
Sober and tranquil.
I know this work is personal, but I think that the beauty of the grief transcends the personal aspect. Anyway enjoy…
I never met Marc's mother, but I almost feel as if I knew her, since she appeared in a number of his films over the years. I'm honored to have played a small role here in having brought the translation and reading to Marc's attention by publishing them at my literary blog Via Negativa.

Though accidents are often unavoidable and pretty common, that does not prevent us from suffering from the pain and emotional trauma that result. After incurring an injury from an unexpected accident, you may wonder whether you are eligible for a monetary award for your injuries to cover medical costs, lost wages, or pain and suffering. First, you have to determine if you should file an insurance claim or seek damages through a personal injury lawsuit.
A suit that involves personal injury is one that transpires when an individual sustains an injury that may be the fault of someone else. The process can be quite multifaceted. Fortunately, our attorneys at Nikola Law have extensive experience working with clients who need help with personal injury litigation.
Dissimilar to cases involving criminal charges, personal injury suits normally begin when a person, known as the plaintiff, files a formal civil complaint against a business, individual, or corporation, all known as the defendant. A suit can also be filed against a government agency. The plaintiff must prove the defendant's negligent behavior or irresponsibility was the primary factor that led to the injury or accident.
However, a plaintiff does not always have to take a defendant to court. When concluding who is actually at fault, the majority of disputes are resolved with an informal settlement. This involves the injured party, insurance providers, and legal representation on both sides. The matter is settled through negotiation and followed by a formal written agreement stating that both sides will not pursue any further legal action.
To help establish whether you have a feasible personal injury claim or lawsuit, our knowledgeable attorneys will work with you to ascertain:
If the three questions above can be answered in the affirmative, our law firm may be able to help you receive a financial award for your injuries.
If you or someone you love has been injured in an accident, our experienced attorneys at Nickola Law are ready to help with your case. Do not have your life and financial health be disrupted by an accident. The monetary cost and emotional burden of an unexpected mishap can put a tremendous burden on an individual and his or her family. By working with a skilled injury attorney, you can minimize your costs, determine if you are eligible for compensation, and focus on recovery.

More Americans than ever are taking cholesterol-lowering medications, federal health officials reported Tuesday.
The percentage of adults aged 40 and older taking drugs that combat high cholesterol rose from 20 percent to 28 percent between 2003 and 2012, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Moreover, the use of statins increased from 18 percent to 26 percent, making them most commonly used cholesterol-lowering drugs. By 2011-12, 93 percent of adults using a cholesterol-lowering medication used a statin.
The CDC researchers said they couldn't speculate on the reasons for the increase. But one cardiologist pointed out that statins have been shown to lower the risk of heart attack, stroke and premature death in men and women at risk for heart disease and stroke.
And "heart disease and stroke remain the leading cause of illness and death in the United States," said Dr. Gregg Fonarow, a professor of cardiology at the University of California, Los Angeles.
While evidence supports and guidelines recommend statins for all those with established heart disease, 29 percent of those patients aren't being treated with statins, Fonarow said. There are substantial treatment gaps for people with diabetes as well, he added.
"These data also show that while there has been some improvement over time, many individuals at risk for their first heart attack and stroke are not receiving one of the most effective, high-value preventative therapies available," Fonarow said.
"Improving the use of statin therapy among those eligible represents an important opportunity to further reduce death and disability due to heart disease and stroke in the United States," he said.
According to the report, the use of cholesterol-lowering drugs increased with age – 17 percent of those aged 40 to 59 took such medications, while use increased to 48 percent among those 75 and older.
The research team, led by CDC epidemiologist Dr. Qiuping Gu, also found that about 71 percent of adults with heart disease and 54 percent of adults with high cholesterol were taking a cholesterol-lowering drug.
In addition, among those aged 40 to 64, health insurance played a role. Those with health insurance were more likely to take a cholesterol-lowering drug than those without insurance, Gu said.
