Natural Gas Special: Seasonal Tendencies tell Put Sellers to Get Ready
With all of the recent media coverage of the crude oil market, you may have forgotten about the long lost neglected cousin in the energy markets: Natural Gas.
Like its more famous relative, it has been plagued by high supplies and low prices. But unlike the crude market, it doesn't get the glamour.
For option sellers, that's just fine. Because natural gas has one of the most consistent seasonal tendencies of any commodity. While crude is a global market, the US meets most all of its domestic gas supply needs from North American production. This can make supply side price analysis a simpler matter. But for seasonal traders, demand is what drives the car. And this car could be getting ready to make a hard left turn.
The Real Seasonal in Natural Gas
As you may have read in our book, The Complete Guide to Option Selling 3rd Edition, (McGraw-Hill 2015), seasonal tendencies can play an important role for commodities option sellers. The problem is, most traders and investors don't understand seasonal tendencies and what really makes them work.
As we explained in our November piece on Natural Gas (Head Fake for Natural Gas Traders 11/14/15), neophytes may assume that gas prices should rise in winter time because that is when demand is highest.
But that is most often not true. Why? Because in commodities, price precedes consumption. Commodities futures prices at the NYMEX and other futures exchanges most often take their cues from wholesale supply and demand, not retail supply and demand. Thus, as we explained in November, wholesalers begin building inventories for winter in late summer. Wholesale demand (and thus prices) are most often stronger in the fall. By winter, inventory targets have usually already been achieved. This means wholesale demand (and thus prices) ironically often weaken right when retail demand is ramping up (despite media focus on how "cold" or "warm" it is this week.) For the most part, this held generally true in late 2015, early 2016.
Therefore while you may still concern yourself with icy roads and shoveling snow, the natural gas market is already starting to think about summer.
As early as March, wholesale distributors once again begin accumulating inventory to meet excess electricity demand in the summer (primarily due to increased electrical consumption from air conditioners.)
This period of wholesale supply accumulation is known in the industry as "injection" season – aptly named as this is when new gas is being "injected" into storage tanks. Injection season has often been associated with rising natural gas prices. This has often proven true regardless of the absolute price of natural gas or the absolute level of supply currently on hand.
The seasonal chart below illustrates this tendency.
While past performance is not indicative of future results, Natural Gas prices have historically tended to strengthen during supply injection season.
A Bullish Technical Set Up
In addition to historical price tendencies, natural gas is exhibiting a classical bullish formation on the chart. While we don't place an inordinate amount of weight on technical set ups, this classic inverted head and shoulders formation certainly coincides well with the seasonal tendency.
Natural Gas (Daily Continuation)
Technicians may note a classic inverted head and shoulders formation on the Natural Gas chart. This is coinciding with a seasonal tendency for a surge in natural gas demand at the wholesale level.
Supply Side Fundamentals
It's hard to make a bullish argument for natural gas supplies right now. The latest EIA figures put total US storage at 2.934 trillion cubic feet (tcf) – 17.9% above the 5-year average and near a historical high for this time of year.
Natural Gas in storage drops as winter heating usage consumes supply. In the spring, inventory building begins anew. This results in higher demand at the wholesale level and in turn, has often been associated with higher natural gas prices in the Spring.
However, as we learned earlier, natural gas supplies ebb and flow with the seasons. Right now, we're approaching (believe it or not) the end of winter heating season. This is drawing down natural gas stocks. In a few weeks, distributors will begin re-stocking their inventory. This transition period from falling wholesale demand to rising wholesale demand has been most responsible for Spring price increases in years past.
Outlook and Strategy
Natural Gas has a strong seasonal tendency for higher prices in the Spring. An impressive chart pattern is hinting that prices may be exhausted on the downside and ready to begin moving higher.
Does this mean the next great bull market in Natural Gas is around the corner? Probably not. Burdensome outright supply will be a headwind for natural gas bulls for some time to come. Like crude oil, natural gas production in the US has surged in recent years. 2016's El Nino has brought warmer than normal temperatures to much of the US this winter, despite some high profile winter storms. This will be enough to give bulls some pause.
At the same time, seasonal patterns have tended to hold true regardless of outright supplies.
So what is an investor to do?
I wouldn't try to trade the futures here. While seasonals and charts point higher, this market is still subject to downdrafts, especially given the supply situation.
That being said, remember that as an option seller, you don't have to pick what the market is going to do – only what it is not going to do. Natural gas prices are already near 16 year lows. It's hard to see them making a sustained dive lower heading into peak spring demand season.
For that reason, selling put options beneath the November lows looks like a solid strategy at this point in the cycle. We favor the July and August contracts for best balance of premium vs. time decay.
Volatility could be better for option sellers right now so we recommend waiting for pullbacks to take premium. Selling puts, however, gives the market plenty of room to move and still keeps you in the game long enough to take advantage of a seasonal push higher – or simply a stabilization of prices.
That's high odds investing.

The Queen and Prince Philip have delayed their traditional festive trip to Sandringham after they both came down with heavy colds. The royal couple had been planning to head out of London after hosting a pre-Christmas lunch for both senior royals and distant relatives.
However, after coming down with winter bugs, they have decided not to catch the train from King's Cross to King's Lynn until they feel a bit better. From King's Lynn, they are usually driven to Sandringham, where the Queen stays each year until February.
Royal security had clearly been expecting the journey to go ahead this morning. However, just a few minutes before the Queen was expected to catch the train out of London at 10.44, officers were told they could stand down. At the other end of the journey, security officers had also set up a cordon, ready for her arrival. Police officers could be seen looking around in anticipation of any sign of the monarch.
Seasonal illness
However, after hours of speculation about what could be wrong, Buckingham Palace revealed that the two both were suffering from seasonal colds to had decided not to travel. However, they are still expected to head to Sandringham in time for Christmas, so they can enjoy traditional celebrations on Christmas Day, followed by an annual shoot on Boxing Day.
The delay in travel plans came just after the Queen hosted her pre-Christmas lunch so that she could catch up with relatives who have not received an invite to Sandringham.
It also followed an announcement that the Queen was scaling back her official charity activity, having given up more than 20 patronages of organisations including Save the Children.
The 25 charities which she is giving up patronages for, will be handed to younger members of the Royal Family, including Prince William and Prince Harry.

All engines, full reverse! That's the order AT&T seemed to be giving on Tuesday when it announced that it would be altering its existing policy to allow Internet phone applications such as Skype to place calls over the iPhone's cellular data connection.
Previously Skype and other Voice over IP (VoIP) applications for the
Notably, the ban did not apply to non-iPhone devices on AT&T's network. "Today's decision was made after evaluating our customers' expectations and use of the (iPhone) compared to dozens of others we offer," AT&T Wireless CEO Ralph de la Vega told The Wall Street Journal.
While some alleged that AT&T's desire in keeping Skype off its data network was a way of stifling competition and forcing customers to use the wireless company's international calling options, it's also been suggested that AT&T was worried about the amount of traffic the immensely popular iPhone could bring to bear on its network.
Somewhat coincidentally—if you believe in such things—earlier in the day, Google and Verizon held a joint press conference to announce their new partnership, in which the two companies stressed network openness.
The decision today does not apparently affect other applications that suffer from similar restrictions, such as the iPhone version of SlingPlayer Mobile, which allows users to stream video from their home devices only over Wi-Fi connections. Nor does it affect the contentious Google Voice service, which uses the standard telephone functions of the cellular network to route phone calls to and from users.

Daniel Hannan could be the ultimate tea-party candidate, waving his pocket Constitution, citing the Founders, and warning that we are in danger of losing America itself. Hannan even holds public office. Just not in America. He's a Brit — and a member of the European Parliament — with a love for the Red, White, and Blue. It's out of that love that he's written The New Road to Serfdom: A Letter of Warning to America. He talks about it with National Review Online's Kathryn Jean Lopez.
KATHRYN JEAN LOPEZ: "The United States is becoming just another country." How far along are we?
DANIEL HANNAN: The abandonment of American particularism started with the first Roosevelt but really took off with the second. Like most bad things, it happened from good intentions. FDR saw himself as the champion of the masses against the lobbies. Convinced of his moral rectitude, he tolerated no constraints on his power. He sidelined the legislature, ignored the conventional two-term limit, ruled by executive order, tried to pack the Supreme Court and constructed a massive federal bureaucracy, much of which is still in place.
#ad#You don't need to look far to see parallels with the past two years. A Democratic president assumes office, bringing a massive majority with him to both Houses. He takes over during a financial crisis that has been blamed on a failure of capitalism. He's determined to "do something" — and that something involves extending government and spending a great deal of money. The economic ill effects are already becoming clear; but the political consequences, as power is shifted from the 50 states to Washington, from the legislature to the executive, from the elected representative to the federal czar, from the individual to the government, are far more deleterious.
LOPEZ: How does America actualize an ideal? And why will "all of us be left poorer" if we give up on that ideal?
HANNAN: Other countries are defined by territory, language, religion, ethnicity. Yours is defined by a constitution, and the dream of liberty that found form in that constitution. You don't have to be American to share that dream, which is why the world has a stake in your success.
LOPEZ: If we're so great, why do you live elsewhere?
HANNAN: I am a British patriot. I believe my country has great achievements to its name, from the defeat of Hitler to the Royal Navy's relentless campaign against the slave trade. Indeed, my admiration for the U.S. is informed by the way in which your country developed out of the British Whig tradition and has become, in many ways, a more secure repository of traditional British freedoms than the land where they were first adumbrated. A patriot doesn't desert his nation simply because another is more congenially administered. I want to bring home our revolution — that is, to restore the Jeffersonian precepts that we successfully exported but have since lost.
LOPEZ: What is the American liberal's attraction to Europe?
HANNAN: Europe is doing all the things that an American liberal would like to do at home: raising taxes, penalizing the use of carbon, cutting military spending, engorging the welfare state, surrendering national sovereignty. It's significant that the supporters of a European socioeconomic model in the U.S. tend also to be supporters of the EU in a foreign-policy context. Barack Obama has gone much further in his praise for European integration than any of his predecessors. And he is, to be fair, being perfectly consistent: If you believe in the centralization of power, then you're bound to see the EU as a good thing.
#page#LOPEZ: You have a whole chapter urging us not to copy Europe: on health care, welfare, immigration, and more. Which front worries you the most?
HANNAN: The economy. In 1970, Western Europe accounted for 36 percent of the world's GDP. Today, it's 25 percent; in 2020 it will be 15 percent. Over the same period, the U.S. share of world GDP has remained, and is forecast to remain, stable at around 26 percent. As my American friends say, go figure.
#ad#LOPEZ: How is cap-and-trade an example of the Europeanization of America?
HANNAN: Even its supporters don't claim that it will make a significant difference. If we take their projections at face value, they are proposing something that would slow global warming by perhaps 0.2 degrees over the next century. So why are they doing it? Because it "sends a message"; it signals that legislators are nice people trying to do the right thing.
This is one of the worst aspects of European politics, and it is seeping into the U.S.: a tendency to declamatory legislation, legislation that is intended to strike a pose — with someone else's money — rather than achieve significant results.
LOPEZ: Why were you fascinated by the Contract with America?
HANNAN: We are already losing sight of its magnitude. The Republicans did something that no one had thought possible, capturing the House after 40 years. More than this, though, they kept their promises, delivering nine out of their ten pledges. I was convinced that my own party, also seeking to take office after a series of petty scandals in the legislature, could learn from that example. I traveled to Atlanta to meet Newt Gingrich, and to Dallas to meet Dick Armey, and the more I listened to them, the more impressed I became. When the results came in in 1994, journalists kept asking Gingrich what he planned to do next. "Implement the Contract," he would say. Yeah, yeah, the campaign's over now, what are you really going to do? "Here's a copy. Read it."
The Conservatives took my message on board. Two weeks before polling day in May, our "Contract with Britain" was mailed to nearly 2 million marginal voters. It worked: The polls immediately turned in our direction.
LOPEZ: How does your reaction to the House GOP "Pledge to America" compare?
HANNAN: We'll know soon enough whether it was successful. My guess is that, once again, the GOP will take the House. But the real test comes with implementation. In the mid-1990s, Republicans reintroduced Americans to an idea that had been almost totally forgotten, namely that politicians can keep their promises.
#page#LOPEZ: Is the Tea Party a wholly American phenomenon?
HANNAN: Yes, because open primaries are a wholly — or almost wholly — American phenomenon. There was a survey last week by the BBC World Service of 23,000 people in 22 countries. In all but one of these countries, people wanted spending cuts rather than tax rises. In other words, the desire for tax cuts is not peculiar to the U.S. But the belief that you can do something about it through your democratic mechanisms is a fairly unusual one. In countries where candidates are selected by the parties rather than by local people, certain points of view are excluded from the legislature. Unsurprisingly, voters in those countries believe that a Tea Party would simply be ignored.
#ad#LOPEZ: You say that British liberties thrive in the U.S. Any hope for them in England?
HANNAN: I know Americans like to see their Revolution as a national struggle, a war of independence. But this reading depends on disregarding much of what the patriot leaders were arguing at the time. They saw themselves not as revolutionaries, but as conservatives. All they were asking for, in their own minds, were the rights they had always assumed to be theirs as freeborn Englishmen.
As I argue in the book, people in Great Britain seem to have seen things much the same way that people did in the 13 colonies. Insofar as historians can infer from the data, Toryism attracted roughly the same level of support on both sides of the Atlantic, namely around 35 percent. The difference was that the colonial assemblies had a wider franchise than the House of Commons, and so were more representative of public opinion.
So, yes, British liberties thrive in North America. The framers of the U.S. Constitution saw themselves as part of a continuing tradition, stretching back through the English Civil War, back even through Magna Carta, to the folkright of Anglo-Saxon common-law freedoms. And they believed, naturally, that Great Britain was equally the inheritor of this tradition. As Thomas Jefferson wistfully observed, in a line that his fellow authors insisted on excising from the Declaration of Independence, "We might have been a great and free people together." We might yet.
LOPEZ: You write with a great deal of clarity and common sense and love for American constitutional principles. How in the world were you once a fan of Barack Obama?
HANNAN: I thought his victory would serve to silence some of America's critics; and, in the short term, it did. When his opponents complained that he was "all things to all men," I saw no dishonor in that. The phrase comes from Saint Paul's Epistle to the Corinthians: Paul describes how he came as a Jew to the Jews, as a Greek to the Greeks, and so on. This is part of what a U.S. president is supposed to do: to be a unifying figure at home and an ambassador abroad. I had also become disillusioned with the GOP. The longer the Republicans stayed in office, the less Republican they seemed. They had become a party of external tariffs, of federal spending, of contempt for states' rights, of the surveillance state, and, latterly, of bailouts and nationalizations. I had no idea that Barack Obama would immediately expand the federal government by a third. After all — it seems an eternity ago — he had campaigned on a promise of tax cuts.
Finally, I was taken aback by the vehemence of the personal attacks on Obama. Leftists are forever judging people's worth by where they are placed on the political spectrum, and I feel we conservatives should hold ourselves to a higher standard. Your president may be mistaken, but he is not wicked. His children are old enough to read and remember what is written about him. His critics would perhaps be more convincing if they remembered this.
#page#LOPEZ: How do you view Obama, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi today?
HANNAN: Hang on: I was never for Reid or Pelosi. I urged all my American friends to vote Republican in the 2008 congressional elections, and I'm doing the same today. I'll give them this, though: When they pushed through the health-care reforms, they understood that it might well cost them their majority. Several Democrats knew that, in supporting the legislation, they were putting themselves out of a job. Obviously, I was against Obamacare; but I wish I could say with confidence that there would be as many principled Republican congressmen if it were the other way around.
#ad#LOPEZ: What might Hayek say about The New Road?
HANNAN: Once he'd got over his shock at the level of spending and state intervention in the modern world, I hope he'd see it as a timely warning to — as he put it — "socialists in all parties."
LOPEZ: Did you learn anything you didn't know — or fully appreciate — about America during the course of writing the book?
HANNAN: Yes: Most of you have no idea of how lucky you are.
LOPEZ: How do you ultimately view your book? An affirmation of the Tea Party movement? A love letter to America? A desperate plea? What would be the ideal impact of it?
HANNAN: It's a warning: a warning from someone whose present resembles your future. As Ayn Rand said of Atlas Shrugged, it will have worked if the future it describes doesn't come to pass.
LOPEZ: What kind of career move is it for a European politician to write such a thing?
HANNAN: I'm not European, I'm British. There is a market for anti-Americanism on the left in most countries, including the U.S. itself. In parts of Europe, the market isn't confined to the Left. But my constituents, in the southern counties of England, feel far more affinity with the Anglosphere than with Europe. They see the U.S., and the other free, English-speaking democracies, as our obvious and permanent allies. They understand that we have a stake in your success.

text: ANNUAL REPORT 2013 6/24 ANNUAL REPORT 2013 6/24 JA GROUPAbout the JA GroupThe JA (Japan Agricultural Cooperatives) Group, to which Zenkyoren belongs, is a national organization of farmers established in accordance with the Agricultural Cooperative Society Law. Based on a spirit of mutual aid, the JA Group undertakes cooperative business and other activities, for the purpose of enhancing agricultural operations and improving the standard of living among farmers. The JA Group provides its members with five essential services: insurance, guidance, credit, marketing and purchasing, and welfare.The agricultural cooperative system previously featured a three-tiered structure organized on local, prefectural and national levels. Under this system, prefectural federations provided local agricultural cooperatives (primary societies) with supplementary functions, by conducting activities that the primary societies themselves were unable to perform. The national federation provided complementary functions to support the prefectural federations and make the Group's activities more effective.To cope with intensified global competition, the JA Group is reforming the organization and its business operations, with the aim of further improving agricultural operations and the living standard of farmers in years to come. Integration of prefectural and national federations and the consolidation of local primary societies are being encouraged as a way to enhance the functionality and effectiveness of the three-tiered organizational structure.JA Insurance BusinessThe JA insurance business offers products and services designed to protect members' and policyholders' well-being, provide financial security, and improve their lifestyles.In April 2000, Zenkyoren (then a national federation only) merged with all prefectural insurance federations, thus forming a two-tiered operation with each tier performing distinct functions. This merger further tightened the bonds between Zenkyoren and primary societies. It also reduced operating costs while giving members and policyholders better services and a greater sense of security.The primary societies provide members and policyholders with consulting services and communicate directly with them in response to claims.The primary societies and Zenkyoren jointly underwrite insurance policies.Division of Roles between Primary Societies and ZenkyorenPrimary Societies (Agricultural Cooperatives):At the local level, the primary societies provide direct liaison with members and policyholders and handle policy administration, processing and contract maintenance, as well as the payments of claims. They also provide members and policyholders with various kinds of information related to the purchase of insurance policies.Zenkyoren:Zenkyoren's services can be divided roughly into four areas. Together, these services provide comprehensive security to members and policyholders.(1) Protection against risks(2) Finance-related services(3) Information services(4) Welfare servicesZenkyoren engages in a wide range of JA insurance activities that include planning and management, product development, underwriting, claims assessments, and providing information and materials for sales promotion, as well as planning and execution of public relations activities. It also manages investment funds, develops and operates information systems, holds educational and training programs, and conducts welfare activities.ANNUAL REPORT 201304 元のページ 10秒後に元のページに移動します ※このページを正しく表示するにはFlashPlayer10.2以上が必要です

Create a security group
The first thing that needs to happen when locking folders so only select users can access them is to create a security group. Here's how to do that:
Please note: Only SuiteFiles administrators can do this
- Click on the Groups icon in SuiteFiles,
- Enter the name of the security group and click the Create new group link,
- Click on the name of the new group under All Groups,
- Start entering the names of the users who need to be added to the group. The names will autocomplete and you click on them to add them. If the name doesn't autocomplete type the person's full Office 365 user name (usually their email address) and press ENTER on your keyboard,
The group has now been created and populated.
Important things to note:
- A security group may have one or more users assigned to it, and
- The groups Excel Services Viewers, Members, Owners and Visitors are system groups – DO NOT DELETE THESE – access to SuiteFiles will be compromised.

I was 13 the first time I saved someone from drowning. I wasn't a trained lifeguard yet, but I instinctively knew what to do. It was a woman and her young son. I sensed it before I even saw them struggling to stay above water. When I did spot them I didn't hesitate, crashing into the surf with my dad's longboard and plucking them from the ocean seconds before they both slipped beneath the surface. This is something that I have been called to do countless times since.
I grew up in Rockaway Beach, a small seaside community in New York City that has a rich tradition of first responders. My dad was a lifeguard captain and my brothers both became US Coast Guard officers. Most of the guys I grew up with are now members of the FDNY. While the career path I chose certainly doesn't require saving lives like my friends and brothers, maintaining focus and calm in the midst of chaos is in my blood. Whether it's saving a life, or protecting a brand, I have always been at my best when a crisis strikes.
I cut my teeth in crisis communications early in my career at the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA), a public authority responsible for providing water and sewer services to Boston and most of eastern Massachusetts. While there I handled PR for highly scrutinized public works projects like the Deer Island Treatment Plant and Integrated Water Supply Improvement Program and served as lead spokesman for nationally publicized events like the "Deer Island Outfall Tunnel Tragedy" and the MWRA's lawsuit with the EPA over the MWRA's adherence to the Clean Water Act.
At 451 Agency, I specialize in helping clients plan for and navigate the choppy waters of mergers and acquisitions and unforeseen crisis situations.
When I'm not hustling for my clients, you can usually find me running up and down a basketball court or soccer field coaching one of my three daughters, or competing in a local triathlon or road race. I can also occasionally be found relaxing on a beach somewhere with my wife Krista…with one eye always on the water of course.

Specific Purpose: To persuade the audience that aggressive driving should be avoided.
I.Attention Getter: Speeding, tailgating, giving the finger and outright violence. Each day Americans grow more and more likely to take out their personal frustrations on other drivers. It is called aggressive driving and it is on the incline.
II. Definition: Driving is a curious combination of public and private acts. A car isolates a driver from the world even as it carries him through it. The sensation of personal power is intoxicating. Aggressive driving includes such things as illegal or improper lane changes or turns, failing to stop or yield right of way, excessive speeds, and an assortment of gestures, looks and verbally abusive language.
III. Connection: Everday we have to deal with these people on our roads. We run a great risk just driving around the corner to go to the store or a quiet trip to church. According to U.S. News and World Report, the U.S. Department of Transportation estimates that two-thirds of fatalities are at least partially caused by aggressive driving. Fortunately, there is something we can do about it.
Preview: To overcome aggressive driving we must first understand it. I would like to share with you the problem, the dangers and the solutions for this growing trend.
I. The Problem: The major cause of aggressive driving is the discourteous or inattentive driver.
A. The number one cause is probably the "left-lane hog", according to a story in the Amarillo Daily News.
1. Other discourteous driving behaviors include failure to signal before a lane change, changing lanes too closely to other drivers and tailgating.
B. It is these seemingly unaware drivers that infuriate the aggressive driver and trigger the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde transformation.
1. Reduced enforcement, highway traffic, congestion or personal issues also play a large role in the...

Let's Hunt With Joe In Dungeon Hunter Joe
Everybody adores chasing, thus do you. Presently, how about we escape your quaint little inn a testing and appalling experience you have never done. It is certain that the excursion in Dungeon Hunter Joe is not a smooth chase. We should investigate how you can fathom sudden circumstances.
Joe and His Challenging Hunt In the amusement, players need to help Joe – an expert hunter. At this moment, he will go to a profound woods to shoot profitable creatures. In the event that you adore chasing, why not participate in the chase with him now? The players will be prepared a ton of projectiles and an intense weapon. Keep in mind that the profound woods dependably has diverse beasts and dangerous animals. When going around it, please give careful consideration to them.
To increase extraordinary outcomes and slaughter all adversaries, the players need to demonstrate a cool shooting aptitude. Due to not control the weapon well, they will be eaten by the demons effortlessly. Taking the weapon all the time is the best decision. Shoot adversaries off before they achieve Joe. Make a decent attempt to push ahead and murder them. En route, bear in mind to gather the shots, jewels, fortunes, hearts, and numerous different things. They will help you amid the excursion. The more Joe remains in the timberland, the more evil beasts show up. Getting by in each level is not extreme if the players move and shoot quick.
On the off chance that Joe loses the greater part of his 5 lives and ammunition, he will be dead. Gather ammunition on the way to top the capacity off. The more evil presences are executed, the more experience focuses will increment. Try not to miss your opportunity to acquire extra focuses from taking dinosaur eggs.
The most effective method to Complete All Levels Without Losing Any Life Actually, when adversaries are so swarmed, we frequently feel frightened and are not overcome enough to confront threats ahead.
The principal point we require is the certainty. It is difficult to win anything on the off chance that you don't have confidence in yourself.
The fixation is essential amid the chase. The creatures can't escape from your weapon in the event that you concentrate on the objective.
The most vital expertise is nimbleness. Making a move quick is the most exceptional point to win the triumph. The creatures move so gradually, however you are most certainly not. You can move left, right, in reverse, or advances to point and shoot them down. Strikingly, Joe can make high hops noticeable all around to overcome equals deliberately.
At long last, your knowledge conveys you to the brilliance. With the knowledge, you can resolve difficult issues by relying upon the timberland's condition to draw the evil spirits into your traps. Everything is up to your capacity. We should play Dungeon Hunter Joe and get the most astounding score to end up plainly the best hunter.http://daily-blogger.com/lets-hunt-with-joe-in-dungeon-hunter-joe/http://daily-blogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Lets-Hunt-With-Joe-In-Dungeon-Hunter-Joe.jpghttp://daily-blogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Lets-Hunt-With-Joe-In-Dungeon-Hunter-Joe-150x150.jpgEntertainment

Atta brownies
|Pic: Corbis
There's something about using wholewheat flour instead of the usual maida that I find quite fascinating. Yes, I know the recipe will still have oil or butter and even sugar, but I've also noticed that then minute I tell people it's made with atta even the most diet-conscious are willing to have a bite. I'm still not able to pin down a reason to this, but whatever it may be – it is a good thing 🙂
Anyway, I'd been wanting to make brownies for quite a while when I came across this recipe in a magazine. It didn't feel quite right so I made some changes to it and added my own touch. At the end of it, I could only ask myself why I kept putting off making brownies for so long! It's easy and absolutely yummy!
Here's what I used:
1 cup wholewheat flour, I used Ashirwad's multi-grain variety
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
3 tbsp cocoa powder
1 cup condensed milk
1/4 cup butter
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 cup of milk
1/4 cup of walnuts, broken into pieces
Sift the wholewheat flour with the baking powder and soda along with a pinch of salt. Keep this aside.
Mix the butter with condensed milk and vanilla essence. Warm the milk and add the cocoa powder to this, make a smooth paste and mix with the condensed milk mixture. To this add the flour and then finally stir in the walnuts. Pour this into a greased baking tray and bake at 180 deg C for 25 minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream.

It's been a rough week, and Joe has been a trooper. He's so patient with me and he holds me every time I cry. He doesn't even complain when I can't sleep and I toss and turn, keeping him awake. I love that man! He's the best!
This morning, a Flower Patch van pulled up to the office and I started thinking about how I'm one of two women working today and I highly doubt that any of the guys are getting flowers from anyone. Sidenote: Whenever a flower truck pulls up anywhere I work, I secretly hope they're for me. Don't ask me why, I'm sure every girl can relate, receiving flowers is fantastic and getting them at work for everyone to see makes it even better, I don't know why. I was excited when they were actually for me this time!
The arrangement is Sunshine and Daisies and the card simply said, "Love Joe"! It made my day and brought a smile to my face! Three months ago yesterday, I married a man who always knows how to bring a smile to my face when I'm feeling down and who can make me giggle no matter how much trouble he's in or how stressed my life is! I think I will keep him, forever and ever!
How does your special someone bring sunshine to your life?

New Patients
Our friendly team enjoy getting to know each of our patients. We welcome you to relax at our practice and feel at ease. If you would like to find out if we are the right place for you, please call to schedule a free consultation. You can speak directly with our staff or leave a message to receive a call back. You can also email us requesting to be called.
The First Visit
On arrival at the clinic, you will be greeted by a member of staff and be asked to fill in a couple of forms. These forms provide us with your personal details as well as information regarding your present complaint and any relevant past and family medical history. There is also a form regarding private medical insurance.
The Consultation
Having completed the necessary paperwork, you will be escorted to a consultation room where one of our chiropractors will obtain details relevant to your condition and decide if chiropractic is right for you. We will then ask you to sign a consent form stating that you agree to an examination. If you do, we will escort you to a changing cubicle and ask you to change appropriately for the examination.
The Examination
There are three parts to the examination. The first part is carried out by one of the chiropractor's assistants and involves recording your height, weight, blood pressure and pulse. Your posture and spinal ranges of movement are measured as well. The second part of the examination is carried out by your chiropractor, who uses more specific orthopaedic and neurological tests to identify or confirm the nature and cause of your symptoms.
Depending on the results of the examination, the chiropractor may decide that taking X-rays is necessary. They are only done if the underlying cause of your condition cannot be accurately diagnosed or if the chiropractor suspects some underlying pathological condition. We will only take them with your permission.
This visit takes about an hour. Once you are dressed and have returned to the reception, we will arrange a time for your second visit within a day or two so that the chiropractor can give you a report of our findings.
The Second Visit
At this appointment, your chiropractor will detail as much as possible the cause of your symptoms and underlying cause of your condition. He will explain
- Whether your complaint will be successfully treated by chiropractic
- What the treatment will involve (amount and frequency)
- How soon we expect your symptoms to recover
- Whether a full correction or recovery can be obtained
- Any appropriate advice on work, exercise, lifestyle and nutrition
After the Report of Findings
When you have received all necessary information from your chiropractor, you will be asked to sign a consent form to begin treatment. A chiropractic assistant will then come in to ask if you would like to schedule any appointments in advance. The assistant will escort you to a changing cubicle so that you can change in readiness to receive your first treatment with your chiropractor.
Regular Visits
We ask that you arrive promptly at the time of your appointment. However, We appreciate this may not always be possible and ask you to telephone if you are running late. When you arrive, you will be greeted by the receptionist, shown to a changing cubicle before being shown into a treatment room.
The chiropractor will ask how you have been, examine you to determine whether your condition has changed and treat you accordingly.
A regular visit will take approximately 30 minutes depending on the type of treatment required. When completed, the chiropractor will show you back to the changing cubicle. You can then make your way back to the reception area to schedule a subsequent appointment if required, and pay for your visit.
Policy of the Clinic
The policy of the clinic is that treatment (self-pay or private medical insurance) is paid for at the time the service is provided; however, in certain cases, accounts can be set up.
If for any reason you are unable to attend for treatment, we do request 24 hours' notice. You may be charged at the discretion of the clinic director if the appointment is not rescheduled later in the same day or within a day or two of the original appointment.
On-site X-rays allow us to understand how best to help you. Contact our practice today to find out more about what we can do for you!

To bid or not to bid?

my dear, you must differentiate, is it just a 'want', or 'need' before you click the bid button

marketing ya. is it a need or a want? sama dengan ice cream issue. XD

I've thought long and hard.
I've already got this "thing" back home.
Waste money? Well, depends on the context.
By getting that "thing" for myself, i might spend less time surfing and more time studying.
Right now, when I get sick of studying, I start surfing for entertainment which can drag on for an hour or so. But if I got this "thing", I can get away from the computer and come back in less than an hour. I spend an average of 7.2hrs a day on the computer, y'know.
Plus, for something like that, it's quite cheap. No doubt, it's probably some cheap china made product, but it serves a purpose.
Perhaps, all that will make me use less bandwidth than I'm using right now.

Yes, you have taught me manyak-manyak sekali. I just chose not to live by it, for this one xD
Just wondering... what was your impression of the product price after reading what I wrote? Do you think it's slightly pricey or cheap?

You have to contact the seller and tell them that you're currently in australia. when you pay, you can tell them to ship to this address instead of the malaysian. Best do it before bidding lo. Cause some only send to paypal addresses.

Credit Card Policy and Procedures
The purpose of this policy is to provide Vassar employees with information about the credit card program and guide employees in the use of their College issued credit cards in a manner that is consistent and fair to each employee while managing costs and ensuring compliance with Federal regulations and College policies.
Many members of the Vassar community travel or make regular small dollar purchases in the normal course of performing their duties. The standard purchasing method for large transactions can be a burden for small regular purchases and travel-related expenses. The College recognizes this burden and has established a credit card program with JP Morgan to provide employees with an efficient, cost effective method for purchasing these goods and services.
As a card holder, the employee will have:
- A flexible and convenient way to pay for goods, services and travel-related expenses.
- Reduced need to request purchase orders and check requests.
- Reduced need to use personal funds and request reimbursement.
How to request a card
All Vassar employees conducting business on behalf of the College are encouraged to request a credit card. To request a card, request an application from email@example.com; send the completed form to firstname.lastname@example.com. Employees who are issued Vassar credit cards have a responsibility to use institutional and grant funds wisely and carefully in furtherance of Vassar's educational mission.
How the credit card program works
- Cards are issued in the employee's name but are paid each month by the College.
- Cards are issued with a $10,000 monthly and $2,000 individual transaction limit. These limits are designed to provide sufficient funds for most employee needs while giving the College some protection in the event an employee's card information is stolen. If a card holder requires higher limits to support College activities, credit card limits can be adjusted by Purchasing with appropriate senior officer approval.
- Card holders need to retain an itemized receipt for each purchase. The receipts are necessary to confirm transactions and support the College in the event of an audit by a government agency. Card holders should be especially mindful of this when purchasing meals, as some restaurants will only return the summary receipt with the total and the tip. In this case, a detailed receipt which lists the meals and drinks purchased must be requested and retained.
- If a receipt is missing, card holders should fill out the Missing Receipt Affidavit and retain it with their records.
- All Card holders must sign in to Workday to verify their charges or create an expense report. All documentation/itemized receipts must be attached to the transaction along with the correct funding source.
- All verifications must be completed within 15 days of ther transaction posted in Workday.
- Approved, reconciled statements and receipts should be kept in department files for seven (7) years.
- Each month Purchasing will conduct random audits of transactions and records to ensure compliance with Federal regulations and College policies. All card holders regardless of rank, title, or position will be audited at least once every other year. Once notified of being selected for an audit, card holders should provide copies of their records within two (2) weeks.
Purchasing Guidelines to remember when using your credit card
- The credit card program is intended for Vassar College business. Card holders may not use their Vassar credit card for personal expenses. If a card holder accidentally uses their Vassar credit card for personal expenses, they should alert their manager and contact the Purchasing Department on how to reimburse the College for the expense. Documentation of reimbursement should attached to the transaction in Workday.
- A credit card is issued in the card holder's name and is the responsibility of the card holder. In general, cards should not be shared with others. A normal exception to this would be an assistant making travel arrangements for the card holder. However, card holders may make purchases for other Vassar employees using their College credit card. The card holder needs to retain the receipt(s) for the purchase and include it in the review with their manager like any other purchase.
- Vassar is exempt from New York State sales taxes as a non-profit organization. When making purchases in New York State, the card holder should inform the vendor that Vassar is tax exempt and request sales tax to be removed from the bill. Vassar's New York tax exempt ID appears under the card holder's name on the credit card and can be recorded by the merchant for their documentation. By taking advantage of the College's exempt status and not paying sales taxes, Vassar is able to maximize the College's purchasing power.
- Credit cards are a convenient way to pay for travel and entertainment expenses. Please review and make sure you understand the guidelines in the Travel and Entertainment Policy prior to making travel and entertainment purchases on your card.
- Certain items are generally prohibited for purchase by the College and may not be purchased using a Vassar credit card. These include:
- Weapons
- Gift Cards — Gift cards can be considered compensation when given to regular or student employees. The value may need to be taxed per IRS guidelines. If the purchase of gift cards is approved by a senior officer, card holders should contact payroll to discuss the gift card purchase to determine if tax adjustments must be made.
- Bulk alcohol purchases — Vassar credit cards may not be used for bulk purchases of alcohol (i.e. alcohol purchased outside of a business-related meal). Third party caterers holding a valid liquor license must be used for service of alcohol at College sponsored events. Bulk purchase of alcohol and distribution by a College employee are prohibited because they expose the College and the employee to significant legal and financial risk. Consult the Travel and Entertainment Policy for guidelines for alcohol purchases while on approved business travel or while entertaining at Vassar.
- Charitable Contributions — Vassar's not-for-profit status is specific to the fulfillment of the College's mission. Regulations prohibit Vassar from making contributions to other not-for-profit entities that are outside of Vassar's mission. Contributions made to such organizations could jeopardize the College's not-for-profit status.
- Hazardous chemicals and radioactive materials — Purchase of these materials require pre-approval by the Director of Environmental Health and Safety in addition to card holder's senior officer.
- Political Contributions — Contributions to political candidates and political parties are strictly prohibited for 501(c)3 organizations. Making contributions would jeopardize Vassar's not-for-profit status.
- Prescription Drugs
- IT Hardware and Software — Purchase of IT hardware, software, and services requires pre-approval by the Chief Information Officer in addition to the card holder's senior officer, to ensure compatibility with existing systems as well as agreement on future replacement requirements.
Any exception to these prohibitions requires the advance approval of the appropriate senior officer and, in some cases, outside authorities such as funding entities.
Contact Purchasing if you have any questions about this policy or to see if a purchase meets the credit card purchasing guidelines.

"One Man's Opinion" by Gordon Curvey
Ladies and Gentlemen it is cold as hell here in Seattle as I type this. It was cold as hell also here in Seattle when maybe a million people yelled and screamed for our World Championship Seattle Seahawks.
People started to line up for the best viewing of the parade though downtown Seattle a night before the event in the cold weather! I am sorry folks but THEY WERE SOME CRAZY FANS!! No way on earth would I camp in frigid cold just to wave at a team. NO WAY NO HOW READERS!!
Here in Seattle all buses were packed, the light rail system was packed, their was no parking in downtown for the parade and at and near Century Link Field where the celebration took place. There was no way I was going to mess with the traffic and packing etc even with a TV show I really should have been their to get reactions from the cheering Seahawk fans.
As the trucks went by with all the Seahawk players and coaches and even with team owner Paul Allen, the crowd just went nuts. Marshawn Lynch sat in front of a truck and threw Skittles at happy fans all along the route. And the World Championship trophy was passed from truck to truck so the players can hold the trophy above their heads for the fans. It was really something to see.
At Century Link Field all the players were introduced for the packed stadium. Oh yeah, Century Link Field was packed with mostly season ticket holders. The Seattle Mariners allowed Safeco Field to open up for fans to watch the events on the giant screen TV and it was packed also. I am telling you Seattle loves the Seattle Seahawks who won their first NFL world title. I just in front of the TV my warm apartment and was just very happy to see all the happy fans. People of all races and ages were just happy with smiles on their faces. Not worried about their bills or other problems. They was just happy that out home team won the freakin SUPER BOWL!!!
I want to thank the fans of Seattle for turning out in the cold cold weather to cheer our Super Bowl winning team and THANKS for the Seattle Seahawks for providing us fans with a great great season. I wish the NBA was watching Seattle. Remember we are without a NBA team since our Sonics left in 2008 for OKC. I pray that we can obtain a team very very soon. Don't forget the Sonics brought us our first World title in 1979.
There is no way we should be without a NBA team!! NO WAY!!

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is having trouble controlling his Republican majority, and he may have more difficulties ahead as four GOP Senators are running for president.
Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Marco Rubio (R-FL), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Rand Paul (R-KY) have declared their candidacies and are courting conservative primary voters who are often diametrically opposed to the more moderate McConnell on a wide range of issues.
As The Hill noted, just in the past month, Sens. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Tom Cotton (R-AK) forced "a vote on amendment that would have killed legislation allowing Congress to review of a nuclear deal with Iran" and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) forced the expiration of the controversial data-collection provisions of the Patriot Act by preventing Senators from offering amendments to a trade bill. Their maneuvers hijacked the floor schedule and "forced McConnell to break his promise to allow an open amendment process in the Senate."
McConnell has refused to criticize his fellow Republicans, telling reporters, "You're trying to get me to make a derogatory comment about members of the Senate. I'm not going to do that." When asked if the Patriot Act debate damaged his leadership, McConnell acknowledged that there would be more fights ahead, saying, "We had a divided conference on this. We knew it from the beginning, and it won't be the last time."
Iran, the reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank, the debt ceiling, and immigration are issues that may again test McConnell's strength. According to The Hill, "McConnell promised to allow a vote on the bank in June," but "it's unclear how or when that will happen." Graham has reportedly vowed not to back the GOP leadership "until we get a vote on the Ex-Im Bank."
Rubio, who is highlighting his muscular foreign policy to make up for his more liberal views on amnesty, "could once again grab the Senate's spotlight, potentially causing headaches for McConnell, if a final deal on Iran's nuclear program is sent to the Senate for review."
This fall, months before the early nominating contests begin, Cruz may use the looming vote to raise the debt ceiling to demand some concessions from the Obama administration.
And immigration may again be a wild card. Even though the GOP took back Congress by opposing President Barack Obama's executive amnesty and without passing the comprehensive amnesty bill that the Republican National Committee's "autopsy" report said the party had to support after the 2012 election, establishment Republicans are still convinced that the party must do something on immigration before 2016. As a result, Republicans may again try to team up with Democrats to, at a minimum, try to pass various bills, including one that would massively increase H-1B visas for foreign guest-workers for the technology industry even though there is no documented shortage of American tech workers.
All eyes will be on McConnell because 24 of the 54 Senate Republicans will have to defend their seats in 2016.
