"Theoretically, it'll work fine. Practically, it won't work and is going to be a big fucking mess."
-Andrew Lewis during a design meeting
In engineering and life, the word "theoretically" is thrown around a lot to explain that something CAN physically be done. The sentence is usually followed by "practically" along with an explanation of why the thing that CAN be done WON'T work. This dichotomy is exemplified in fat loss. Theoretically, losing fat is extremely easy. The right diet and exercise plan will invariably lead to the goal with minimal effort. Honestly, it's really not that hard... theoretically. Practically, a lot of obstacles get in the way and subvert the plan.
Setting goals
The first barrier that gets in the way is not setting SMART goals: specific, measurable, accountable, realistic, and time-based. When more of these criteria are applied when defining the goal, the greater the likelihood of success.
"I'm overweight, so I'm going to eat less until I lose some weight."
This is an example of a poor goal setting. There is clearly a problem (being overweight). There is a goal (lose weight), and there is a method (eat less). However, all three of these are not well defined, and what will likely happen is that the subject will not achieve their goal and become fed up, disheartened, and frankly, pissed the fuck off that they're not losing weight.
"I weigh 250lb and want to lose 30lb. I'll lose 1lb per week on average and my goal will be to weigh 220lb in 8 months. To do this, I'll eat 200 calories/day under my maintenance level. I will measure my food intake and use MyFitnessPal to monitor my caloric intake. To measure my weight, I'll weigh myself every morning and record the value to see my daily average of the week."
This is far more specific and will be more likely to result in success. If progress is not being made, it will be readily apparent and alterations can be made from there. The most important metric for fat loss is measurement: if you are not measuring your success is some way, you will not make progress as effectively or efficiently. For fat loss, I recommend three metrics: bodyweight, pictures, and waist measurements (at the belly button, relaxed). However, any metric can be used as long as it tracks progress. A tee-shirt or pair of jeans you wear often will show similar progress as the waist measurement.
The next issue is making smart choices in the grocery store. Just like in the gym, you should know exactly what you're going to do in the grocery store before you get there. The most important aspect of shopping is that you need to have self-control at the grocery store so that you don't really need to have self-control at home. Don't impulse buy, and don't shop hungry. This also means that you plan out food choices that excite you. If you're excited about what you're going to eat at home or at work, you won't feel as tempted to get fast food or eat pizza that someone brought in for work. By extension, this means you need to learn how to cook: an important skill in its own right.
Making exceptions will also get you into trouble. There is a slippery slope when it comes to exceptions. You have one donut at work thinking it'll be ok. Next thing you know, you're drinking half a gallon of your wife's chocolate milk. I've been there. If you're one of these people, you must be uncompromising when you diet to lose fat. Nothing happens spontaneously. If someone offers you a donut at work, politely decline. However, if you know it's a coworker's birthday tomorrow and they'll bring in cake, you can plan on having some and build the rest of your diet for the day around that. The same is true of holidays. Enjoy the holidays, but don't go crazy. When you aren't uncompromising, you'll always find a reason why you can make an exception. Holidays, birthday, and celebrations occur more often than you'd think.
The last piece of advice regarding what can go wrong in your diet will pervade the rest: your supporting environment. If you have a spouse who has the same diet base as you, gives you the "Hey, don't eat that. Be strong", and helps you prepare your food on Sunday, you will have a much easier time losing fat. Conversely, a spouse, co-worker, or parent who brings you down (deliberately or otherwise), will make the whole process very difficult. You will find out a lot about your friends, coworkers, and spouse when you try to stick to a diet. This may sound dramatic, but it's true. If it becomes an issue, let your friends and family know that you are trying to better yourself and even though they're trying to "just be nice", they aren't helping.
All of this may seem obvious, but when you first decide to go on a fat loss diet, you may not consider these obstacles until they get in your way. Have a supportive environment. Don't compromise until you know you can handle it. Have a plan before you go to the grocery store, and buy exciting food. Finally, use well-defined, measurable goals to design your fat loss program and use metrics to track your progress. Theoretically, fat loss is exceedingly easy. Practically, it can be crushingly difficult.

I'm trying to convert .ass subtitle files to .sup for some Blu Rays I'm doing and when I export them to .sup with Subtitle Edit the subs lines that have to appear in the same time for a few seconds doesn't appears, also they loses their font and position in the screen, something I can do for fix that?

Blu-ray subs use the same font and colors throughout. For Blu-ray subs, the number of lines displayed at any one time should be between 1 and 2. Although 3 lines are permitted it is something to be avoided, if possible. Blu-ray subtitles don't support positioning to denote speakers. Lines must appear together and in the same position within the frame throughout. Usually, they are positioned near the bottom of the frame.Ignore list: hello_hello, tried, TechLord
You are wrong, usually_quiet. PGS subtitles on Blu-Ray do allow positioning and differents fonts and colors. There are limits, though, which don't allow 100% mapping from ASS to PGS similar to how there are limits on the video and audio encoding on Blu-Ray.
If there are problems with Subtitle Edit (and easySUP) try avs2bdnxml. But any problems could also be related to the authoring software/muxer and/or the Blu-Ray player.

The simple answer to your question would be
buoyancy. Anything that floats on water
(I'm assuming you mean water) has more buoyancy
than water, by definition. A lot of different
things affect buoyancy, but one of these things is
air content. Wood and cork float for the same
reason that life jackets and Styrofoam float:
these materials have a lot of air in them, which
makes them extremely buoyant.
If you've ever looked at cork under the
microscope, you've probably noticed it has a lot
of holes. These holes trap air. It's the same
thing with wood and foam. You can think of these
materials as made up of thousands of tiny air
bubbles. Why ice floats is a little more
tricky. This is basically the same reason why
boats float.
An ancient Greek mathematician named
Archimedes first came up with this principle while
sitting in the bath. He noticed that as he lowered
himself into the bath, the water level rose.
Basically, his body was displacing water. If the
object displacing the water (human, boat, ice
cube) weighs less than the water it displaces, the
object will float. You probably know that ice
expands when it freezes. Compared to water, then,
ice has more volume for the same mass, and so
weighs less than the water it displaces. This is
why ice floats. If water did not expand when it
froze, then ice would not float.
If you've ever been swimming in the ocean,
especially a really salty ocean like the
Mediterranean, you've probably noticed that you
float easier than in a pool. Can you think
why? Also, why do you think a feather
They are less dense than water. Pure
water has a density of 1 gram / cubic centimeter,
or 1 gram / milliliter. (1 milliliter = 1 cubic
centimeter). When water freezes, it expands into a
crystal lattice and its density is less than that
of liquid water. Cork and wood, too, are less
dense than water - although not all woods. Here is
an interesting fact for you: did you know that
the planet Saturn is less dense than water? It
is made of different ices, and its overall density
is less than liquid water. So, imagine if you
could make a bathtub big enough for the entire
planet, it would float!
Wood, cork, and ice float in water because
they are less dense than water. What does
that mean? Well, you've probably heard the old
trick question, "What weighs more: a pound of
lead or a pound of feathers?" A pound is a
pound, so of course they both weigh equal amounts.
But if I asked, "Which takes up more
space?" You'd tell me that the feathers do.
Scientists would say that feathers are less dense
than lead, because they take up more space for the
same weight. Now think about dropping a rock in a
glass of water full to the very top. Some of the
water will spill over, because the rock is now
taking up space at the bottom of the glass that
used to have water in it. However, if you drop an
ice cube in the water it will float. It floats
because it weighs less than amount of water it
would have to push out of the glass if it sank.
Wood, cork, and ice are all less dense than water,
and they float; rocks are more dense, so they
sink. Thanks for the question.
To explain this fact, I would ask you to
observe carefully what happens when you put any
object in water. The object starts to sink a
little. Then two things can happen. The object
stops sinking, it floats or the object sinks
completely. What is happening? As you
introduce the object into the liquid, some liquid
is "displaced", you need to make room for the
solid object. The liquid will push the object away
with a force equal to the weight of the displaced
volume of liquid. This is a law of physics and was
discovered by Archemedes in Ancient Greece. Now
whether the object sinks or floats depends on how
much it weights, compared to the weight of water
it displaces. If by displacing some volume of
water the object receives a push that equals its
own weight, it will float, like cork, ice or some
types of wood in water. Other objects even by
displacing their whole volume of water, do not get
enough push and therefore, they sink.
These substances float (in water) because
they are less dense than water. This means
that a cubic meter of water has more mass (and
thus weighs more on Earth) than a cubic meter of
cork, wood, or ice. Think about swimming in a
pool. You feel lighter in the pool than when
walking around on the ground. The is because when
you jumped into the pool you displaced a volume of
water that is equal to your volume. So you feel a
"buoyancy force" pushing you upwards that is equal
to the weight of water you displace. You feel
lighter because your "effective weight" in the
pool is your actual weight minus the buoyancy
force you experience. If you are less dense than
water, and thus weigh less that than the water
your body displaces, then you will float. If you
are completely submerged, the buoyancy force will
be larger than your weight and, if you don't work
to keep yourself submerged, you will rise until
you are only partially under water such that the
weight of the water you displace is equal to your
weight. Why do you think it is easier to float
if you take a big breath?
Think about what happens when something sinks
in a glass of water. When it does, the water
level rises because the object pushed all the
water away. All the water that got pushed out of
the way had to go up because it couldn't go
anywhere else and had to work against gravity to
do it.
All the water that gets pushed up has a weight
and the object that you dropped has a weight also.
The question you have to ask is: is the object
that you are putting into the water heavier or
lighter than the amount of water that would get
pushed out of the way and up if it sank? If
it is heavier, then the weight of the object will
cause it to sink. If it is lighter, then the
weight of the water will keep the object floating.
That is what is called buoyancy.

Credit may refer to:
In double entry bookkeeping, debits and credits (abbreviated Dr and Cr, respectively) are entries made in account ledgers to record changes in value resulting from business transactions. Generally speaking, the source account for the transaction is credited (that is, an entry is made on the right side of the account's ledger) and the destination account is debited (that is, an entry is made on the left side). Total debits must equal total credits for each transaction; individual transactions may require multiple debit and credit entries to record.
The difference between the total debits and total credits in a single account is the account's balance. If debits exceed credits, the account has a debit balance; if credits exceed debits, the account has a credit balance. For the company as a whole, the totals of debit balances and credit balances must be equal as shown in the trial balance report, otherwise an error has occurred.
Accountants use the trial balance to prepare financial statements (such as the balance sheet and income statement) which communicate information about the company's financial activities in a generally accepted standard format.
In general, the term credit in the artistic or intellectual sense refers to an acknowledgement of those who contributed to a work, whether through ideas or in a more direct sense.
In the creative arts, credits are an acknowledgement of those who participated in the production. They are often shown at the end of movies and on CD jackets. In film, video, television, theater, etc., credits means the list of actors and behind-the-scenes staff who contributed to the production.
In non-fiction writing, especially academic works, it is generally considered important to give credit to sources of information and ideas. Failure to do so often gives rise to charges of plagiarism, and "piracy" of intellectual rights such as the right to receive a royalty for having written. In this sense the financial and individual meanings are linked.
Academic papers generally contain a lengthy section of footnotes or citations. Such detailed crediting of sources provides readers with an opportunity to discover more about the cited material. It also provides a check against misquotation, as it's easy for an attributed quote to be checked when the reference is available. All of this is thought to improve integrity of the instructional capital conveyed, which may be quite fragile, and easy to misinterpret or to misapply.
Dax or DAX may refer to:
"Dax" is the eighth episode of the science fiction television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
After having a meal with Dr. Bashir, Lt. Dax is walking back to her quarters. She is followed by a group of aliens, who attempt to kidnap her. Dr. Bashir comes across the group while they are attempting to drag Dax away, and he manages to alert Commander Sisko that he and Dax were attacked and that she was taken away. The group of aliens take Dax on board their ship, having sabotaged and disabled Deep Space Nine's tractor beam using knowledge gained from their Cardassian allies. They nearly get away, but the Deep Space Nine crew is able to reestablish the tractor beam and prevent the ship from leaving.
The ship is brought back to the station, where Ilon Tandro, son of a famous military figure from Klaesron IV, accuses Dax — the Dax symbiont, then known as Curzon Dax — of murdering his father, and wants to punish Jadzia Dax for the crime. His claim is based on the fact that during a civil war a coded message informed the opposing side of his father's location, and of the people who knew the location, Curzon was the only one without an alibi.
Power Rangers Operation Overdrive is the fifteenth season and anniversary of the American television franchise Power Rangers. It uses footage and other material from the Super Sentai series GoGo Sentai Boukenger, which was also the thirtieth entry and anniversary of that franchise. It premiered on February 26, 2007.Operation Overdrive is broadcast on Toon Disney's Jetix programming block and ABC Kids in the United States, and on stand-alone Jetix networks in other countries. The program is a co-production between The Walt Disney Company and Toei. It was also broadcast on terrestrial network ITV in the UK.
Unique among Power Ranger series, Operation Overdrive has the Rangers exploring, operating and fighting in many different countries around the world, rather than focusing only on their home city of San Angeles. In search of their objective, the Rangers have been to Atlantis, unnamed islands in the Atlantic and Pacific, Saint Lucia, Istanbul, London, Portugal, Indonesia, Norway, Mexico, Egypt, Florida, Greece and Japan. To specifically battle villainous attacks, they have visited Rotuma Island, Australia, Brazil, and Stonehenge.

Every 51 minutes, choice person dies in an alcohol-related traffic collision. In 2012 alone, more than 10,000 people were killed in drunk driving accidents, accounting for nearly one-third of all fatalities.
You can find more drunk driving statistics on the Mothers against Drunk Driving (MADD) website here.
Drunk Driving Prevention In America
In the turn of these staggering numbers, what are governmental agencies and private campaigns sham to educate American drivers not quite drunk driving? This article will offer a survey of the most widely-publicized anti-impaired driving campaigns, and an analysis of their real-world effects.
Buzzed Driving
In the last few years, weve seen numerous ad campaigns, initiated both by state-funded organizations and private inclusion groups, advocating for widespread acceptance of something called buzzed driving. suitably what is it?
Buzzed driving is a certainly simple concept. After ingestion, alcohol is absorbed rudely by the bloodstream and common tests, in imitation of a breathalyzer, can accomplish the amount of alcohol in your blood reliably and quickly. Driving once a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of 0.08 or difficult is illegal in every state. At that concentration, drivers vis–vis invariably experience sedation and slower reply times. In new words, its comprehensibly dangerous to drive in the same way as that much alcohol in your system.
Buzzed driving is handily having a BAC lower than 0.08% but later than 0.00%.
One Beer Wont alter The quirk I Drive
And significant studies have found that less is no better. One description from UC San Diego that evaluated accident reports found that buzzed drivers, those with a BAC of 0.01 percent are 46 percent more likely to be officially and solely to blame than moderate drivers. The fact is that driving even slightly buzzed is dangerous, in the distance more risky than driving sober.
The real trouble is that American discharge duty and public policy tend to see upon 0.08% as a definitive, meaningful boundary. under that parentage and youre relatively safe, above it youre dangerous. But the researchers at UC San Diego found that the chances of causing a crash increases steadily and smoothly from BAC 0.01 to 0.24 percent, meaning that there is no sudden transition taking into account comparing a buzzed driver to a drunk driver. It turns out that 0.08% is not a definitive boundary, and that no amount of alcohol is safe in the supreme analysis.
The tally from UC San Diego was published in the British medical journal insult Prevention. You can open a summary here.
The Worlds Stance on Drunk Driving
Much of the world has even more rigorous limits.
China has a valid limit of 0.02%
Japan uses 0.03%
Frances legitimate limit is 0.05%
Germanys is 0.05%
Sweden uses 0.02%
Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Bangladesh, and Saudi Arabia all have zero-tolerance policies; any BAC above 0.00% and youll lose your license, be penalized bearing in mind aggressive fines, and your car can be impounded.
In fact, North America (including Canada and Mexico) is one of the worlds single-handedly regions to use 0.08% BAC as its legal limit.
Has The stir up Worked?
The Ad Council, Americas largest non-profit producer of public give support to announcements, spearheaded the Buzzed Driving watchfulness campaign. upon their website, they relation that their ads reached nearly one half of all American adults over the age of 21. And that there was a significant enlargement in the proportion of men age 21 35 who called themselves extremely concerned virtually the business of drunk driving, from 22 percent in 2005 to 27 percent in 2011.
And while public attentiveness is unquestionably important, Americas legislators have still to respond to our new union of buzzed driving. In fact, once most welcome governments tackle to zero tolerance, they either limit this prohibition to drivers below 21 or point toward comprehensibly that they wont tolerate any driver afterward a BAC more than 0.08%.
Only time will say whether or not come clean governments follow through upon the current research. support in 2013, the National Transportation Safety Board recommended lowering Americas legal limit to 0.05%, but no let in has yet to lecture to this stricter limit.
Alcohol Addiction Treatment
Another salutation has been to contextualize drunk driving, to define it in terms of substitute tragic condition. As the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) states: drunk driving is often a symptom of a larger problem: alcohol hurl abuse and abuse. The underlying premise to this raise a fuss is that some drunk drivers play-act vehicles though impaired because (in fittingly many words) they cant back it. And if you acquire substance dependent persons treatment, you might assume some impaired drivers off the road in the thesame gesture.
Also telling is that the NHTSA refers to impaired driving, rather than drunk driving. In lineage later than recent developments in addiction studies, the NHTSA has adopted the scientific convention that finds more financial credit than contrast amid alcohol abuse and drug addiction in general.
This pedigree of reasoning seems bolstered by statistical evidence. In a laboratory analysis released by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, researchers found that almost half of all drivers who were killed in crashes and tested clear for drugs furthermore had alcohol in their system. In many cases, then, the misfortune is mixed. And the answer might be, too.

I've been attending a trading class all week (it's been a while since I've taken a class and it's been great--feels like I'm cleaning out a few cobwebs) and therefore I'm going to ask for a little forgiveness for tonight's market wrap. Instead of taking time to discuss some things that are affecting the market I want to focus on charts. This market is in its end run--the rally from February 5th has gone parabolic (uptrend lines have been getting steeper), the wave count is excellent now in showing we're into the final 5th wave, momentum is waning and we're headed for the end of the month/quarter. The rally is irrational and bullish sentiment has gone parabolic with price. This is a classic ending pattern so I just want to focus on the charts. We also had some potentially important reversal signals today. Let's dive right in.
But first, there's one sentiment chart I want to show. I saw this yesterday in one of the "The Daily Reckoning" newsletters. It shows the level of bullishness measured by the number of bullish options vs. bearish options. Regardless of the actual numbers, whether it's equities only, etc., the comparison to past periods is what caught my eye. We have a level of bullishness, especially after the rally from February, that is blowing away all previous highs, including the 2007 high. This will not end well for the bulls; that's about all I can say about this chart.

If the bulls can push the market up a little higher we could see SPX make it up to at least 1200 if not the 62% retracement of the 2007-2009 decline at 1229. The one thing I've been wondering over the past month, hearing Everyone is looking for this upside target, is whether or not the market will disappoint all those expectations. The market usually sets up the greatest disappointment possible. This is of course the psychology of the market at work--with so many expecting those highs, they've bought in expecting it. They're not in the frame of mind to sell because the upside targets have not been hit yet. But the market tends to run out of buyers in a case like this and then it usually takes a stronger decline before recognition sets in that the upside targets probably won't be achieved. Then the strong selling kicks in. So expect the possibility that 1200 will Not be reached.
S&P 500, SPX, Weekly chart
The trend line along the highs from October and January is close but will be around 1190 by the end of the month if the bulls can push a little higher over the next few trading days. But yesterday's candle was a bearish harami (candle body inside the previous one) and today's candlestick created a bearish engulfing pattern. These are reversal patterns and would be confirmed with a down day on Friday. However, the key level for the bears is a break back below support at 1150. This would be a break of Monday's low as well as the January high. That would be perceived by many as a breakout failure.
S&P 500, SPX, Daily chart
Key Levels for SPX:
- cautiously bullish above 1178
- bearish below 1150
Today SPX achieved a potentially important Gann level of 1178-1179. This is one square, or one circle around the Square of Nine chart, from the February 5th low of 1144.50. Users of this tool would say 1179 resonates off 1145 and today's high of 1180 satisfies that level. That merely warns of a possible reversal from here. I had posted towards the end of the day on the Market Monitor that the price pattern would look best with one more new high into the close or tomorrow morning, but that Wednesday's low near 1166 was an important level. Below that negates the bullish expectation for another leg up. Therefore, the selloff into the close could lead to a larger corrective pattern or ending pattern to the upside but the break of the uptrend lines and yesterday's low set off some sell alarms. A break below 1152 would have the fat lady singing.

Using a parallel up-channel for the DOW's climb off its February 5th low shows price has been struggling with the mid line of the channel. Today's reversal might not be anything more than just a pullback within the move up from Monday so again Monday's low near 10695 is the key level for the bears to break. So far there's nothing particularly bearish about the DOW's daily chart, although one could easily call today's candle a bearish shooting star at resistance.

Key Levels for DOW:

I've been watching the Nasdaq Composite for the past week because I like its pattern just a little bit better than the NDX and I'm thinking it could give us a slightly earlier warning signal. That might have happened today although I do see the potential for a little higher. The weekly chart shows it's doing battle with the downtrend line from 2000-2007 (log scale) and it will be important to see how the week finishes. If it's a down day on Friday and we see a shooting star for the weekly candle at that downtrend line, and after nearly tagging the top of its rising wedge pattern, I could be forgiven for having a bearish smile on my face.
Nasdaq Composite, COMPQ, Weekly chart
The reason I say the NAZ could press a little higher is because I see a Fib price projection just shy of 2452 where the 5th wave of the move up from February 5th would achieve 62% of the 1st wave. That projection crosses the trend line along the highs from September and January on March 31st. That could of course be pure coincidence that it falls on that date. But today's candle warns of a reversal (as did this afternoon's selloff) so caveat emptor from here.

Key Levels for Nasdaq Composite:

The semiconductors were strong earlier in the week and the daily chart shows price poked above the top of is rising wedge pattern. The SOX has refused to sell off more than two days since February 19th and today was the 2nd down day. If Friday is down we would have a change in character. A break below Monday's low of 352.67 would be bearish and below 348 would confirm the high is in place.

The RUT needs to hold today's low otherwise it will break its uptrend line from February 5th. Confirmation of a high in place would be a break below Monday's low (a common theme across the board).

The bonds are making a move and are close to giving us a very important signal (for what the Fed could be forced to do). The Fed has been hell bent on providing as much liquidity as it stuffs money into the money channel. I say "stuff" because it can't stimulate demand so it's pushing on a string by pushing money into the system in hopes that at least some of it will help the economy grow. Much of the money, through purchases of home mortgages and other toxic assets from the major banks, has made it into the markets and we've seen the result in a stock market rally that has no fundamental (domestic or global) basis whatsoever. But the bond market will tell the Fed when enough is enough, not the other way around. And the bond market may be speaking.
TLT, the 20+year Treasury ETF, held support at its February low today and could turn back up and stay inside its consolidation pattern that it's been in since January's low. It takes a rally above its January high near 92.40 to turn the pattern bullish. In the meantime it looks bearish and I expect to see support near 88.50 broken. The downside projection for the bearish pattern, in what could be a fast move, is down to about 80.
20+ Year Treasury ETF, TLT, Daily chart
If bond prices drop then yields will climb. The 30-year Treasury pattern is bullish, especially if it breaks above 4.85%, and it's close. The monthly chart below shows a potential inverse H&S bottom pattern from the end of 2007. The wave count for the move up is very bullish and is looking for at least an equal move up as the one from the 2008 low. That projects to at least 7.1%. Does anyone really think the Fed would be able to hold rates down for an "extended" period if the bond market does that? Let me answer that question--no! The bond market moves the Fed, not the other way around. And if rates jump significantly like that, and the Fed is forced to raise their rates, I'd say there's a good chance the stock market is not going to be happy about it.

Now that Congress has finished with the healthcare bill they're turning their attention to China and what a mean and unfair country they are. Our economically illiterate Congress is apparently also ignorant of history and is getting more and more protectionist as this bear market continues. They and a Nobel-laureate economist (Paul Krugman) continue to threaten China with 25% tariffs and an insistence that they un-peg themselves from the US dollar and revalue their currency. We, one of the biggest debtor nations, have the audacity to tell China what to do? Our Congress needs to be fired, every one of them (except for Ron Paul). Clean house. And take Paul Krugman with them. :-)
If China gets worried about our financial health and the continued spending profligacy of our Congress, and the financial mishandling of the country, and throws in protectionism on top of that, China will simply stop purchasing our Treasuries and start selling instead. Could that hurt them in the process? Yes, but they might make the decision that it's better to get past being threatened by us. And that would add to the downward pressure in bonds and upward pressure in yields. If our monstrous debt becomes more expensive to service you can bet our economy will take a major hit. The Greater Depression will be an expectation instead of a possibility. If Chuck Schumer is your Senator I suggest you email him and tell him to take a sabbatical.
The positive spin on the news about helping Greece (and in turn Portugal and the other nations in line for some bailout help) gave our banks a boost today. But wow, talk about a reversal signal!! Take a look at the bearish shooting star (really an even more bearish gravestone doji) at resistance on the BIX chart. After doing a throw-over above the trend line along the highs from May-October 2009 and then tagging the top of its parallel up-channel for price action since February's low, the rally was completely given up and the BIX closed near its opening price. The reason this candlestick is bearish is because it destroys the bulls' confidence. Confirmation is still needed with a red candle on Friday but as of today's close, this is a strong reversal signal in progress. The wave count looks very good for a completion of the rally. I show the key level to the downside as a break below 139 but below Monday's low near 145 would tell me a top is in place.
Banking index, BIX, Daily chart
I've been watching the pattern for the home builders for the past few months but haven't been quite sure what it was up to. It became clearer this month and now it's crystal clear to me. As shown on its chart, the wave count and pattern fits very well as a corrective bounce off the December low to finish a rising wedge pattern. The setup is for a strong reversal back down and below the December low. Today's candle looks like a classic finish to this pattern with a throw-over above the top of the wedge and a bearish shooting star candlestick. This one has SELL written all over it.
U.S. Home Construction Index, DJUSHB, Daily chart
The Transports were the real driver behind the February-March rally. There was hardly a pullback in the whole rally. But once it hit the top of its parallel up-channel for price action from November, and just shy of its price projection for two equal legs up (4461.14), it broke its uptrend line from February 5th and certainly appears to be rolling over. Like just about all daily charts at this point, the RSI has also broken its uptrend line (good confirmation) and the drop back below 70 is a sell signal.
Transportation Index, TRAN, Daily chart
The US dollar's bull flag that formed since the February high has had strong bullish follow through to the rally into the flag pattern. The wave count shows an expectation for the completion of a 5-wave move soon, possibly near 84 by the first week of April, and then the start of a multi-week pullback to correct the leg up from November.
US Dollar, DXY, Daily chart
Gold has been a little baffling lately only because it hasn't been reacting as I would expect with the dollar's movement. If the dollar is close to finishing its leg up from November and starts a multi-week pullback that could be bullish for gold. But since it hasn't been reacting around the dollar's moves as I would have expected I can't feel confident that it will rally if the dollar pulls back. So we'll trade each chart individually.
I'm showing an uptrend line from February 5th off this week's low but that's clearly very preliminary. I just wanted to show a parallel up-channel for a possible bounce into April for two equal legs up from February (to about 1180). A rally above 1134 is needed to put that possibility as the preferred wave count. Otherwise a continuation lower is expected and the first downside target is the 200-dma near 1047 (and then lower).
Gold continuous contract, GC, Daily chart
Oil has also been holding up even though the dollar has rallied strongly this week. It might be consolidating before heading higher again, but so far I'm interpreting the price pattern as bearish and therefore have an expectation for oil to break down. Below 77 would confirm the bearish pattern.

The market has its own agenda now and is not paying any attention to the outside world, including economic reports. Tomorrow morning should be no different.
Economic reports, summary and Key Trading Levels
A relatively quick perusal through many charts after the close had me suddenly leaning more bearish than I had been for most of the day. I was sure the market is going to hold up at least until Monday when selling of positions would not be reflected in end-of-quarter statements (3-day settlement). Plus the wave pattern would have looked ideal with at least another push higher on Friday. But the selloff into today's close "ruined" it. Now I'm seeing some pretty significant warning signs. Whether it's candle patterns, throw-over finishes or trend-line breaks, I'm getting a bearish feeling about this market. Bearish proof will be a down day on Friday in which case I'd consider taking some put options home with you. Certainly lighten up any long exposure you might have.
I came across something that Todd Harrison at Minyanville wrote on Wednesday that I thought was a very good synopsis of what our market must eventually deal with. It's clearly in denial at the moment or there's simply too much money coming in from the Fed through the banks. If the Fed is serious about easing its QE (quantitative easing) program by the end of this month, the current rally could literally be the last hurrah. It has that blow-off look to it. And if it's a blow-off top, as it appears to me, the downside will be swift and deep and painful for those who have bought into the rally and don't know how to use stops. At any rate, I thought I'd pass along Todd Harrison's thoughts:
"There's no denying the bulls have captured the year-over-year crown. While you can agree or disagree with the synthetic catalysts, price is the ultimate arbiter of variant financial views. The market is never wrong; we should never let an opinion get in the way of making money.
"As investors key on corporate credit, there is a litany of causal risks waiting in the wings. With a conscience nod these could conceivably create building blocks in a wall of worry, I humbly submit ten reasons why we're witnessing a cyclical bull market in the context of a prolonged and painful secular bear stretch:
"1. Questions remain on a Greek aid package in front of €20 billion in debt that comes due in April and May. This dynamic is not bound by borders; should an accord be reached, as expected, the approach will be tested when the next 'lifeguard' begins to drown.
"2. New health care legislation could add hundreds of billions of dollars to already yawning budget deficits. That chasm can only close through upward taxation or austerity initiatives; neither is pro-growth and both drain consumption. This, of course, comes at a time when the 'interconnectedness' of governments and markets has never been higher.
"3. State budgets are cracking and a recent report from the Pew Center estimates unfunded pension liabilities are an eye-popping $452 billion. While I expect a Federal bailout package, as discussed in January, it's akin to moving money from one pocket to the other.
"4. Social mood is tenuous at best and deteriorating at worst. As The Great Divide continues to evolve -- Red States vs. Blue States, Main Street vs. Wall Street, Have's vs. Have Not's -- societal acrimony has evolved into social unrest in some parts of the world, and economic hardship is pointing an unfortunate needle towards geopolitical conflict.
"5. Complacency abounds, as measured by traditional volatility measures such as the VXO. While we've witnessed prolonged periods of subdued volatility (2004-2006) and healthy debates rage regarding the indicative validity of this measure, risk premiums are at levels last seen in June 2008 -- a few short months before the financial crisis arrived.
"6. From Google (GOOG)-China to USA-Toyota (TM) to EU-Greece, the seeds of protectionism continue to sow. That posturing is on the opposite end of 'globalization' on the prosperity spectrum.
"7. While the 'stated' unemployment rate hovers just below 10%, almost one-in-five Americans is underemployed; that means they're not working, stopped looking, working below their abilities or working part-time because they can't find full-time employment.
"8. From an economic perspective, interest rates have one way to go, price-to-earnings multiples never troughed, and debt-to-GDP ratios will approach or exceed 100% in all G7 countries by 2014, with the exception of Germany and Canada, according to John Lipsky at the IMF.
"9. The Congressional Oversight Panel warns that commercial real estate losses at banks alone could reach $300 billion starting in 2011. Almost half of those loans are concentrated at smaller institutions with total assets under $10 billion, and those are the same banks that account for almost half of all small business loans.
"10. It's easy to forget about the housing crisis; in terms of 'what matters now,' this concern almost feels passe. We must remember that massive amounts of residential mortgage backed securities are mis-marked at best and toxic at worst, sitting on the balance sheets of private and public institutions and by extension in bank accounts across America. This is in addition to the manifestation of under-water mortgages (negative equity) and foreclosure trends throughout the land.
In my mind that's an excellent synopsis of what ails us and just as the market ignored the start of the housing problem in 2007 it is ignoring the even greater commercial real estate problem and the even greater sovereign debt problem of countries, including our own, and more locally, our states. Higher taxes and lower services, and social acrimony that goes along with those, will only exacerbate the bearish mood that will revisit the markets. It's time to batten down the hatches and prepare for the hurricane to whip us from the opposite direction as we finish our travels through the eye of it.
Good luck during the coming week and be especially watchful for a fast and strong reversal back down now. I'll be back with you next Thursday.

Editor's Note:
I am urging traders to be cautious here. The markets are reacting to news from Europe. This is obviously a very fluid situation. This morning stocks were hitting new 52-week highs on expectations the EU members had come to some sort of aid package for Greece. Yet just a few hours later stocks are reversing on comments from EU Central Bank President Trichet.
The U.S. markets are very overbought without any significant correction or consolidation off their February lows. Traders are going to be nervous about protecting their profits. At the same time we still have four more days left for fund managers to try and chase performance before the first quarter ends.
I am not suggesting new candidates at the moment. It's time to watch and see if there is any follow through on today's bearish reversal pattern in the market indices and so many widely traded stocks.
Warning! The major U.S. indices and several high-profile names have all produced a bearish reversal on Thursday. Stocks initially rallied this morning on a potential solution to Greece's debt problems. Unfortunately negative comments from EU Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet sent the market lower. Germany and France had come to an agreement that any aid to Greece would be led by the IMF and Trichet believes that is a bad idea. Technically the action in the markets today is very bearish but it needs to see follow through. Unfortunately once momentum reverses the sell-off could be very sharp following such a big upward rally in the markets.

Apple Inc - AAPL close: 226.65 change: -2.72 stop: 222.49
Warning! AAPL and several high-profile names in the market produced a bearish reversal today. Normally these bearish engulfing reversal candlestick patterns need to see confirmation first. My concern is that by the time AAPL does confirm this reversal we will have already been stopped out. More cautious traders might want to raise their stops toward the $225 level, which is where I would expect AAPL to find its first level of support. I am not suggesting new positions at this time.
Our first target is $234.90. Our second target is $239.75. More aggressive traders may want to keep their stop loss under support at the $220 level.
FYI: I'm still concerned that stocks are overbought. I would keep your position size small.

Cash America - CSH - close: 39.78 change: +0.47 stop: 36.75
There has been no follow through on CSH's recent downturn. Shares are bouncing near the rising 30-dma. At the moment I am still expecting a dip toward the rising 50-dma near $38.00. There is no change from my prior comments. We have two different entry points spelled out. Be aware that the breakout entry point is more aggressive and higher risk.
Our first is the buy-the-dip strategy with a trigger to buy calls at $38.25. If CSH hits $38.25 we want to buy the April $40 calls and we'll use a stop loss at $36.75. Our first target is $41.00. Our second target is $44.00.
We also have a breakout trigger to buy calls on CSH if shares hit $41.20. This is a much more aggressive entry point so we want to keep positions small. If CSH hits our trigger at $41.20 we'll use a stop loss at $39.40. Our target is $44.25. We want to buy the April $45 calls. They are cheap so don't go overboard. Remember, small positions! This way if CSH reverses on us we will limit our risk.

I do consider this an aggressive trade since ESRX is so over extended but it can always grow more overbought. Our first target is $104.90. Our second target is $107.45. More aggressive traders could aim higher. Our time frame is just a couple of weeks.

NetFreedom Pioneers' Toosheh project works with Webrecorder, a free online tool that allows anyone to record and archive what they view on the internet. This innovative tool has become a key part of Toosheh Satellite Datacasting. Toosheh employees use Webrecorder to record news website content to then send via satellite to users across the world.
Webrecorder, a Rhizome project, has also proved to be a groundbreaking advance in digital preservation. While past archiving tools were able to capture simple web content, Webrecorder can record all of users' internet browsing sessions, including social media interactions, embedded videos, and non-public resources. All users have to do is to choose a name for their internet session, paste the URL into the Webrecorder site, and press "record". As the user surfs the web -reading articles, liking social media posts, watching videos, or even editing a Google document- he or she can choose what is archived and what isn't. At the same time, Webrecorder does not record or memorize passwords or security phrases. Users can thus rest assured that their non-public accounts are safe.
After Webrecorder's opening success it recently launched a new version that includes a desktop app: Webrecorder Player. This desktop app allows users to view their web archive recordings offline.
Dragan Espenschied, Preservation Director of Rhizome, wrote the following about Webrecorder's new version and how it serves web users:
"Web archiving is not yet something that is practiced by regular users, but is mostly done by big institutions and at large scale. We are striving to create a solution that helps a layperson understand how web archiving works and take control of their collections. The desktop application was a key step. Traditionally, web archives consist only of publicly accessible materials that are presented back to the public at a later date. Webrecorder allows users to archive a wider range of material, for example social media conversations behind a log-in, and create their own sharing networks. We hope that the desktop app will reach users that maybe don't have access to server infrastructure or the knowledge how to use it, but can run local software and share files via USB or the like."
Upon being asked to share possibilities of prospective updates for Webrecorder and Webrecorder Player, Dragan was happy to announce future improved support for multiple languages and other "internationalization features." These features will again be created to "expand access and ownership of personal digital archives to a larger, more diverse set of users."

Communicating with Stakeholders, the Client and the Team
Keep your communication simple, free of buzzwords. Say, "yes" when you mean "yes," say, "no" when you mean "no." Be honest with people, be real. Don't wait to give feedback, find the person and talk to them face-toface. Get to know your team, and have them get to know you.
If you are starting with a new team, it is certainly important to set the rules of how you are going to work and communicate with each other from the very start. Project management in the innovative world comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes, so it's important to set the way you are going to work and collaborate at the very start.
Stakeholders (the people who have a say and approval in your project) may not always be in one location. You may work with multiple teams, partners and vendors that are scattered across the world.
One way of communicating with all these different groups may or may not work. In some large projects, how you communicate for certain needs can even be a deliverable on its own in the scope-of-work.
How you choose to communicate is also important. You may not always be able to work face-to-face with everyone. As a project manger, you are the information giver and receiver for the team. If you don't do your best in communicating not only with your team, but with your client, your boss and outside partners your project is going to go down hill fast.
Beyond face-to-face talks, email, and smoke-signals, there are hundreds of different tools that you can use to communicate with your team.
As a project manager you are going to have to give (push) communications and get (pull) communications. Push is what it sounds like, your sending out a message. Pull means that you have to go after it. In this role you are going to do both.
Keep you methods and tools for communicating as simple as you can. Find a tool that your team is going to be okay with using culturally. Set the rules up front for how you are going to use the tool and the expectations the team has around the use of the tool. Try and use tools and reports that can be shared with your internal team as well as outside stakeholders (like clients and vendors).
Communication with the team.
How to seek real communication for team collaboration.
Communication at the team level, is not about having meetings. It's about having enough respect for each other that we actual engage with each other in meaningful ways.
In the creative world, we talk a lot about how we communicate with our audience. But when it comes to communicating with each other, we can do a lot better. It's more than just closing the tops of our laptops, or keeping our phones in our pockets during a meeting. It's more than sending an email or a text dictating next steps. It's more than status reports, or a list of next steps and tasks.
You want to collaborate and innovate?
Then we have to make something clear.
You are not the sole reason a great team kicks ass.
Team success is more than just one person's contribution or reasoning.
It takes work, it takes quality communication, people who are engaged when they communicate, and people who share what they learned outside of the team environment, working together to reach a common goal. It's not about over-sharing either. Quality communication isn't about quantity. Have you ever been to so many meetings during the day that you never get to actually work during the day? You know what I'm talking about. But you can't use this type of disfunction as an excuse, it doesn't give you an out. Real connections, are where you are actually talking to someone, face-to-face, making eye contact and having an equal exchange of ideas.
You want to collaborate and build on each other? Listen to each other — give and take in equal ways. Keep it short and concise. Don't lie, don't tell garbage to each other, don't drain the energy out of someone else, and don't monopolize the conversation.
Having real conversation is a two-way connection. Talk, listen, absorb, repeat back understanding, building a meeting of minds. Get your idea across, make sure there is understanding and that goes both ways.
Build something out of the conversation — this is what it means to be engaged, this is what is going to move the project forward.
Here's my gift to you. It's ok to talk to each other. It's ok to have one-on-one conversations that don't involve everyone all the time. It's ok for you to talk to someone else without all your team mates.
However, with that permission, comes the importance that everyone should be connecting on the team in the same and equal manner. And everyone needs to be contributing in semi-equal ways. That includes seeking out fresh perspectives beyond the team, new learnings or sharing their work or alternate solutions and bringing it back to the team.
Let's think about this for a second. As innovative firms what do we do as our process? We have discovery, we learn something, we share what we learn, we build on all the new sources of information in order to solve creative projects. This same process happens at the team level. We go back and forth with each other, sharing new information that we discovered, we engaged with each other to integrated multiple points of view into new ideas, and then the pattern repeats till we get something freaking cool.
That's what great teams do. That's what you want to work on.
In the movie "Oblivion," with Tom Cruise, him and his partner are constantly asked by control if they are "still an effective team?"I don't have to ask you if you are in an effective team, you are well aware of when youare or not.
For example,
Do people cut each other off when they try and contribute?
Are certain team members ignored?
Do people discourage others from seeking help or opinions?
Is the team leader a jackass, doing most of the talking all the time?
If you answered, yes, to any of these questions, then you aren't an effective team.
Unless you are the team leader, it can be hard to be a part of an unbalanced team where you feel you don't have control over making the team better. You can have all the energy in the world but we're human, and a bad team experience can zap the energy right out of you. You can be engaged as a team all you want, but if no one has the energy because they aren't valued, or they are just not a good team fit, it can be hard on you and everyone else.
Here is something very important to learn. A team leader can be just as bad a fit as a team member and that agency "culture" and proper "team culture" in an agency doesn't always map out the same. However, culture and fit are indispensable to a team's success. As a consultant, it is easier, perhaps, for me to see what strategies can be employed to help the team get back on track. But as a team member, you can do some similar things. You can give feedback to your team-mates. You can ask for people to meet face-to-face and connect with them eye-to-eye. You can practice active listening. You can help others practice it too. You can forge new team connections, get people to be comfortable and open the door for them (and you) to contribute (or the chance to contribute) to the team.
Not everyone is an extrovert or needs to be to help adjust things in a team setting. Heck, we want diversity of thought and personality, it's all these different views that make a team great.
What we can't do is always rely on the hope that a team leader is going to change or a certain team member that is not pulling their weight is going to be replaced. While that may be what happens in the end, your energy level, your communication ability, engagement and discovery process shouldn't go down with it.
As a producer your role is not only to communicate information and support collaboration, but do so in ways that it supports the project's goal. Nothing can kill a project faster then poor communication.
Earlier we talked about how communication is two-way. As a project manager, you have to be a good listener. You also have to actively be engaged with the individual so that you understand what's not being said. What is the person really trying to tell you? Does the person understand what you are trying to say? And do you get them?
Misunderstandings and conflicts can be avoided by listening to the meanings behind the words, and creating mutual understanding between you and others. It's about watching body language and observing non-verbal signals and asking the proper follow-up questions.
The Importance of Technical Communications
A major part of every job is an employee's ability to communicate. As someone that is going to coordinate a wide range of both internal and external individuals, you are going to be called upon to write and speak effectively to others — constantly. You need to not only be able to convey information, but you will need to convey some very abstract ideas and project objectives at times. As a team lead you also need to be a great presenter, negotiator, debater and conflict resolution specialist.

• Assist in the problem-solving process by coming up with ideas.

2017-2018 Season Is Here!/
We first like to apologize for the delay on a fishing report for the first week after opening. Reason being, we wanted to put the extra time on the water to dial in an accurate report. One that's not written with hidden intentions of fly sales or false fishing news.
So here is what we have so far, like always we have ups and downs that are very weather dependent but it's on an up hill climb for the shore fisherman. The first week of opener was wind depending on if you had algae on the surface in front of you or not. We had an early lake turn over this year which made the surface bait ball action harder to find than previous years. On a cooler day with some wind to break up the algae, the fish would come in to chase the baitballs in the shallows. Though due to the thermocline being 55-70 feet and the surface temps being in 64.5-65.5 meant that the majority of the fish were deep. Float tubes and boats had the advantage on the calm days. Fishing vertical with heavy flies and all kinds of innovative ways to sink your fly fast as possible.
But now the tides are starting to turn in favor of shore fisherman. Immediately after our freeze we saw a good push of fish come in to the shallows where below freezing temperatures and strong winds over night turned drastically cooling the surface temperature. Now that the weather is cooling we are starting to see better numbers of active fish coming in and feeding. Still the main food source is the Tui Chub. Stripping bait fish patterns or hanging a balanced leech under an indicator will be your best ticket at this time. Combo patterns for two fly stripping rigs are usually most productive when a floating fly such as a boobie or popcorn beetle paired with a weighted or unweighted baitfish pattern on a sinking line. Vary your cadence of your retrieve and depth there has been baitballs in different parts of the water column and you might be surprised. For an indicator set up using a balanced leech in white, black, olive or brown has produced some nice fish in the last week. Patients is also the name of the pods of fish will come in and out of shallow water chasing or cruising looking for the next pod of tui Chub to real havoc on.
This generally isn't a "numbers" time of year say like March would be, but there are still some awesome days with more and more sightings of big fish caught from shore. So be patient, put in the work, and as always, you will be rewarded. With the high water rise since last season many of the beaches have changed, make sure we are being careful. Let's all help pick up trash we see around us it was a very busy opener around the lake. Thanks for taking your time to read this report we hope it was helpful and we will see you on the water. -Casey Anderon

Our trailblazer - Najla Al Jeraiwi
Tri-Coach Spotlight:
Interview with Najla Al Jeraiwi
'I am absolutely passionate about entry level triathletes and even kids, spreading my love for the sport and making it accessible to those who would 'just like to give it a go''
As we enter into our peak triathlon season, we wanted to do a little bit of a team member spotlight on our very own Triathlon Coach ~ Najla Al Jeraiwi. For anyone who has had the pleasure of meeting Najla with her small stature, slight frame and softly spoken ways, you might be surprised to discover the exceptional power and endurance she commands as one of Kuwait's most significant, trailblazing female athletes today. Despite her unbelievable achievements, Najla is not one to demand the limelight and so here we present a very rare and unique opportunity to learn more about her training, motivations, how it all started and most importantly her vision for the future.
For those of you not familiar with Najla's sporting accomplishments to date, let us give you the headlines. Described as a 'force of nature' in a 2016 Washington Post close up on female athletes in the Middle East, Najla is a world-renowned competitor having completed 35 triathlons in total – she was also amongst the first entrants representing Kuwait at the 2014 Asian Games in South Korea; one key defining feature being that she competes in a custom-made hijab. A choice that has attracted large amounts of interest and curiosity globally. Naturally when in Kuwait and particularly within her current training home here at Al Corniche, we are not concerned with her training attire but more simply impressed with her continued successes. Most recently, Najla came 15th out of 23 at the Asian Games Jakarta Palembang despite extreme heat and humidity. Najla's success was perhaps born out of her attendance and gruelling training at high performance camps in both Spain and Greece over the summer. Earlier in the year, Najla took the Gold medal at the 2018 ATU Triathlon and Pan Arab Championship in the Women's Olympic Distance race, an event in which she was both competitor and a certified ITU technical official for the elite categories. Bottom line, Najla is a highly impressive athlete by any standard.
So where did it all begin. It would be easy to assume that Najla has been swimming and cycling since she could walk but that is not the case. In fact, it was an unfortunate back injury after a 9-year career as a professional equestrian show jumper, another impressive feat, that led Najla to explore other sporting interests. The common thread is not the specific athletic discipline but her ambition and dedication to succeed. When horse riding was no longer an option, Najla alongside her sisters explored other means of fitness and they stumbled across a small triathlon club in Kuwait. It wasn't long before she was, in her words "hooked". Not being one to dip a toe, Najla entered herself into a sprint distance triathlon in Abu Dhabi in 2011 and five months later she completed her first half IRONMAN. But it hasn't all been smooth sailing. With a lack of knowledge, an unstructured training plan and little to no specific guided nutrition, by Najla's own admission she "made a mistake by not focusing on recovery and diet" – Ultimately, this mistake led to the injury of her IT band and six months out of training; she decided to hire a coach and it is at this point in the story we welcome Vincent Beltran.
Vincent is an experienced and highly sought-after triathlon coach and successful triathlete in his own right. Vincent was in fact Najla's predecessor as head of the Al Corniche Triathlon Club before he moved on to coach the international team in Bahrain. In Najla's eyes, this is where it all changed for her and things got serious, here is what she said:
"…having a coach made the world of difference. To have someone skilled and experienced build structure around my training, monitoring my performance, personalise my drills, keep me injury free and most importantly free from fatigue is what really changed my training and my performance"
It's also key to note that with the help of Vincent, together they made some bespoke modifications to Najla's swimming garments that shaved 14 seconds of her 100-metre time - it was to be a partnership that would set the foundation for her triathlon career and continues today honing different aspects of her training and performance.
When asked what Najla hopes for the future her answer is simple – "I am absolutely passionate about entry level triathletes and even kids, spreading my love for the sport and making it accessible to those who would 'just like to give it a go'"
For those of you interested or thinking about trying something different, we have our next event coming up;
our Aquathlon Sprint on 3rd November 2018.
Al Corniche Club welcomes all sport enthusiasts, swimmers, runners and athletes to Al Corniche Aquathlon Race. It is a family friendly event open for members and non-members.
