Magic BitesBook - 2007
When the magic is up, rogue mages cast their spells and monsters appear, while guns refuse to fire and cars fail to start. But then technology returns, and the magic recedes as unpredictably as it arose, leaving all kinds of paranormal problems in its wake.
Kate Daniels is a down-on-her-luck mercenary who makes her living cleaning up these magical problems. But when Kate's guardian is murdered, her quest for justice draws her into a power struggle between two strong factions within Atlanta's magic circles.
The Masters of the Dead, necromancers who can control vampires, and the Pack, a paramilitary clan of shapechangers, blame each other for a series of bizarre killings--and the death of Kate's guardian may be part of the same mystery. Pressured by both sides to find the killer, Kate realizes she's way out of her league--but she wouldn't have it any other way...

I wasn't happy with the character of Kate. She seems to be based on the popular tough, butt-kicking, no bs, not pc, but still justice seeking, emotionally vulnerable and caring/protective action heroine prototype. I enjoy that prototype and therefore have other fictional characters to compare her too. In comparison, I found Kate lacking. At the beginning of the book she has the thought of Texas existing because of cowboys and Mexican sluts. That rather broad brush stroke painting a whole group of people in such a disparaging light was a slap in the face when I was just starting to get to know the character. I think that thought was meant to highlight the not pc, tough outer-shell part of the character. I wasn't happy with it because it takes away from the caring/protective and justice parts of the character. There is a difference between being rude/"telling it like it is" and broadly labeling/stereotyping a slew of people. Beyond that, Kate wasn't as awesomely kick-butt as I originally expected. She made a bunch of blunders that made things harder for herself. That I guess makes her more 'human' and relate-able. Definitely more plausible than other infallible action heroes though it aggravated me a bit.
Anyway - The world building was good. The world itself, interesting. Would it be considered post-apocalyptic? It's on the gray line for me on that point. The other characters were compelling, and since multiple GoodRead people whose reading taste/opinions I respect and/or agree with like the Kate Daniels series I read the next two books in the series back-to-back. The books [and Kate's character] improve as the series progresses :)
I would really love to read this title. Bummer that there are only 2 copies with 12 holds. That means I probably won't be able to borrow this title in this format for at least 3 months.
First in Kate Daniels series. Amazing world building, great character development throughout the series and a complete escape from reality. Highly recommended!
Firmly in the Urban Fantasy camp, Magic Bites is a rollicking read. Set in the not-too-distant future Atlanta, Magic is real; it has taken over, and technology only works periodically. Therefore, swords and guns are both practical tools for mercenary Kate Daniels. Filled with lesser known myths, gods, and magic systems, Magic Bites will start you on a journey with shifters, swordplay, and a badass heroine hiding in plain sight.
I enjoyed the action sequence, and the no-nonsense attitude of the heroine. The book actually reminded me of Anita Blake series. But unlike Anita Blake, Kate Daniels can reign in her temper and back down which is much appreciated.
The writing is not that good unfortunately. I'm still convinced that there's a prequel book or series that I should've read before starting this one. Things are not explained well. I don't understand the magic specifics and hope they will be answered in the next book.
A decent bit of urban fantasy, but not much earth-shattering or new here. I did like her world, where magic fluctuates and wreaks havoc with tech. Kate herself was a solid contender in the smart-mouthed-loner protagonist camp (her encounters with Curran are entertaining). I do wish the question of exactly what powerful blood flows through her veins had been answered, but I reckon that is supposed to be a hook to get me to read the rest of the series. I might give them a try someday, but as of this volume, I'm not deeply invested.
I really enjoyed the start of this series and am anxious to read the others. I am holding myself back from binge reading.
Book 1 of Kate Daniel's series, preceded by a prequel 0.5 A Questionable Client (found in the E-book of Magice Bites - together with Curran's point of view on their first meeting) and followed by Magic Burns. Adventurous story of Kate Daniels, a mercenary for hire who wields a magic sword and kills all kinds of creatures, for eg. vampires, upirs, zombies. She is strong, brave and quick-witted, but despises all kind of authority. There is no romance in the story, but I am really hoping that it might actually happen in the next few books; and Curran would be a great choice - the Lord Beast - the leader of the pack, tough and authoritative; lovely match!
This book drops you into the middle of things - vampires, shapeshifters of all types, murders, and at the center of it all - one tough, magical, female bounty hunter. A quick, action-packed read and the beginning of a series.
I read a lot of paranormal books, this did not grab me, but was not terrible. I did not think I would continue with series, but since reading others opinions on series might try one more book. Christine Feedhan, JR Ward ,Sherrilyn Kenyon, Alyssa Day, Lyndsay Sands, Kerrilyn Sparks, Gena Showalter, Karen Morning, Kresley Cole, Kelley Armstr" "very good" paranormal read...mostly excellent.

"Dar Vorona. Gift of the Raven. I am my father's gift."
"The raven is holding a bloody sword."
"I never said it was a nice gift."
Diplomacy was never my strong suit and my patience had run dry. I crouched and called out, "Here, kitty, kitty, kitty." Two golden eyes ignited at the opposite wall. A shape stirred within the darkness and rose, carrying the eyes up until they towered over me. This thing had to be at least five feet tall at the shoulder. The colossal cat circled me, half in light, half in shadow, the dark mane trembling as he moved. The lion vanished into a dark corner. A whisper of power pulsed through the room, tugging at my senses. "Kitty, kitty?" asked a level male voice. "What kind of woman greets the Beast Lord with 'here, kitty, kitty'?"

text: We listed and quickly sold our Rosemount house with Twin City Homes back in May 2014. It was our second time selling a home and by far the most pleasant buying/selling experience we have ever had with a Realtor. We truly felt supported by Ashley from start to finish. She listened and cared about our concerns and provided well directed advice with our best interest at heart. She was responsive with our questions and needs and never pressured us, unlike other realtors in the past. Her experience and knowledge of the business especially showed while we negotiated an offer. She didn't allow us to settle or compromise beyond what was fair for the market. It was the personal care she provided that really made the experience so amazing. We would strongly recommend them to a friend!!!

June 20, 2016 09:35 ET
LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - Jun 20, 2016) - Pure Hospitality Solutions, Inc. (OTC PINK: PNOW), parent Company of the Central American-Caribbean Online Travel Agency (OTA) Oveedia, announced today, that Oveedia will soon debut services and packages from regional tour companies -- further differentiating its online search and booking platform from other OTAs.
"There is a true void in the OTA world, when it comes to booking tours and marketing tour operators," stated Melvin Pereira, President and CEO of Pure Hospitality Solutions, Inc. "Even many of the largest OTA's in the world are extremely limited when dealing with tour packages, for varied reasons.
"What makes us different, aside from the fact that we're focused on strengthening the Central American-Caribbean tourism market, is that we have already begun to partner with some of the best tour providers in the region. With Oveedia being a smaller, focused and newer platform, we have a certain flexibility larger OTA's do not presently have. So, we are seizing this window of opportunity, and quickly working through the process of tooling Oveedia now, to better handle these packages tomorrow. We are already building landing pages which will interface between the tour operator and our platform as a first step."
During Expotur 2016, Oveedia's U.S. Delegates met with multiple tour agencies and operators. These meetings resulted in numerous tour companies looking to partner with Oveedia as early adopters -- offering their services on the Company's dual-database platform.
Pereira concluded, "We are thrilled to continue building Oveedia and expanding our business plan throughout the region. Aside from rare and exquisite properties not listed elsewhere, we will soon begin offering tours and tour services that are equally as rare. In doing this, we are helping to build a 'total' experience for travelers. Not only with where they stay, but also with the excitement they receive when being guided through some of the majesties that can only be found within this region of the world."
About Pure Hospitality Solutions, Inc.
PURE provides proprietary technology, marketing solutions and branding services to hotel operators and condominium owners. The Company's vision is to build competitive operations in the areas of (i) online marketing and hotel internet booking engine services, (ii) hotel branding and, (iii) own, operate and in some instances develop, boutique hotels under the new, "by PURE" brand. PURE is the creator of Oveedia, the Central American-Caribbean online travel hub.

Although the British Disaster Emergency Committee (DEC) are now collecting from the public for the very worthy cause of relief disaster in Yemen, I will not be giving anything to them and I encourage others not to give to them or to the UNHCR, who are up to the same tacky ruse.
I have two related reasons to play Scrooge and to encourage everyone else to do the same. The British government, which uses DEC as a fig leaf for its crimes, sells Saudi Arabia the bombs that are reducing Yemeni to penury. If the British stopped selling the Saudis bombs to murder people, DEC would go out of business. It is as simple as that. Unless they oppose their government's arms deals, DEC are collaborators in murdering Yemeni. It is as simple as that.
The UNHCR case is even simpler. Because the Saudi regime, which is directly responsible for the mass murders in Yemen, chairs the UNHCR, that body can have no credibility and, like DEC, must be held to account for complicity in Saudi Arabia's war crimes, as well as its own.
Although Saudi Arabia has been using British ordnance to slaughter Yemeni for over two years now, the usual suspects have yet to call for a no-fly zone or to attack their embassies, as they have done with Russia's and Syria's. Instead, they continue to focus our emotions on the plight of the Saudi and other foreigners who have invaded Syria and that the million male migrants of military age, who have been allowed to enter the European Union without appropriate documents.
Never mind that these same people have destroyed Syria (as well as Iraq, Yemen, Nigeria and Libya). Never mind that they have poisoned the water supply to Damascus and blown up the dams and power stations which supplied it with heat. We must feel sorry for the perpetrators of these acts and not the victims.
The Hand in Hand for Syria group has been singing this death tune since the Syrian Crisis began and the BBC, Channel 4 and the rest of the British media gave them full reign to do this. After they threatened to sue me over a short article I wrote about them, I expanded the original article into this 450+ page whopper. It is worth downloading.
Although it is a lengthy piece, it is worth reading to hear about Janice Murphy, the Dubliner, who now calls herself Imajed, and who gave her body and then her soul to their unholy cause. As well as implicating "personalities" like her and Dr Rola Halam, whose father is one of the Muslim Brotherhood's top capos, and former photojournalist and psychiatric case Paul Conroy, the piece also forensically examined their finances and asked a large number of questions about them and allied groups that as of yet remain unanswered.
Not only do all of those questions remain unanswered but Robert Stuart sent me the above photo which implies Hand in Hand for Syria have even more questions to answer. As do others, like British surgeon Richard Power, who also tried to intimidate me and who gets his own Rogues' Gallery entry in this work, which features many of the Hand in Hand for Syria crew. That too is worth a download.
I mention Robert Stuart as he has forensically examined one of Hand in Hand for Syria's most infamous publicity stunts in this detailed blog. Because the only implication one can take from his blog and/or from my piece on them is that Hand in Hand for Syria have the protection not only of the Muslim Brotherhood but also of MI6's Dirty Tricks Dept, one has to ask if we should allow fraudulent groups like them into our schools as well as onto our TV news stations. Although my own opinion is that these people, along with their handlers, should be in prison, the intelligence community obviously disagrees and so Syrians continue to die.
Which brings us to the White Helmets, our next group of gangsters, which were the subject of this earlier post.
Although the White Helmets are an obvious fraud, Irish charity and NGO groups have to ask why they collaborated with them and why they practiced no due diligence before recommending them for the Nobel Peace Prize. GOAL, perhaps Ireland's most controversial NGO, have at least the feeble excuse that they are paid tens of millions of dollars a year by USAID to propagate their line by such means as the discredited Caesar photos which GOAL brought to Ireland.
Although GOAL only supports terrorist controlled Syria, what excuse has Trócaire? Unless they support beheading Syrian soldiers, gang-raping Syrian women and press ganging Syrian children into armed, sectarian militias, Trócaire must disavow the White Helmets and pledge itself to those who use peaceful means and who do not act as undertakers to war criminals.
The combined efforts of these groups is to make us all complicit in the war crimes being committed with NATO ordnance in Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Nigeria and Libya. These groups going into our schools to solicit funds from idealistic kids only compounds our complicity. Our Parliaments giving legitimacy to these crooks and our media outlets pimping for them just makes matters worse for the people they pretend to help but actually help to murder and enslave.
It is time to end the emotional bribery and to end support to those who epitomise the problem, and will not the solution unless there is an easy buck in it for them.

Syria's Water, Irish Fascism & the White Helmets Murder Gang
Just before Christmas 2016, NATO's Syrian rebels threw thousands of tonnes of diesel into Damascus' water reservoirs before blowing up the wells to divert the water into nearby rivers, which immediately flooded. The result of this war crime is that the 5 million civilians of Damascus have been without water since then.
Mothers do not have water for their babies, hospitals do not have clean water and, incredibly, Irish aid organisations are directly complicit in this war crime by giving succour to the White Helmets who, as the above letter shows, have given their imprimatur to this war crime.
The White Helmets themselves are a NATO funded ISIS auxiliary force, the worst of the Black and Tans with the best PR agents and crocodile smiles Gulf State money can buy. Even though not a single one of the 100,000 civilian hostages rescued from East Aleppo had ever heard of them, let alone seen the White Helmets in action, Western organisations paid this al Nusra and ISIS affiliated group tens of millions of dollars supposedly to rescue women and children, with USAID alone paying them a whopping $23 million to spread their fictions and their bile
Such was the mega hype around this fraudulent group that brain-dead Hollywood actors, British MPs and Irish aid organisations all heavily pimped them for the Nobel Peace Prize – despite their documented serial collusion in al Nusra's war crimes and despite there being no independent evidence of them ever having performed even one rescue mission.
Irish groups which supported these war criminals' attempts to win the Nobel Peace Prize include GOAL, Trócaire and the Irish branch of Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders (MSF). Controversial Irish journalist Mary Fitzgerald has predictably been unstinting in her praise of this gangster group, which has even been allowed address the Irish Parliament on more than one occasion.
The Irish edition of the Daily Mirror even says the main thing Irish people can do to help Syria is to donate to the White Helmets, a group which acts as al Nusra's undertakers and which thinks poisoning the water supply for Damascus, which has a population akin to that of the entire island of Ireland, is an acceptable tactic, whereas such barbarities have always been regarded as the war crimes that they are.
The Daily Mirror is wrong. The worst thing Irish people can do is to support terror groups like the White Helmets. The best thing they can do is to do their humanitarian duty and oppose them and all in Ireland who give them succour. If that includes Trócaire as well as GOAL and Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders (MSF), so be it. If they lie down with these dogs, they have fleas that decent Irish people do not need.

In August of 2014, I met two men that would forever change my life. One, my dear husband Scott, I married. The other was Art Sherman.
To be fair, I knew my husband in high school, when he was 18 and I was 16. And I technically met Art on July 31. But this lead makes for a better story....
Knowing that the ride I have been on with Team Sherman and their champion trainee, California Chrome, would be coming to its conclusion with the inaugural running of the Pegasus World Cup Invitational on January 28 at Gulfstream Park, I've been understandably nostalgic. Not melancholy, but in gratitude and appreciation for so many experiences over the past two and a half years.
While I have written about almost every visit I have made to the barn that houses Sherman Racing Stables - whether at Los Alamitos Race Track or a temporary home at Santa Anita, Del Mar, Parx Racing or Gulfstream Park, and hope that my feelings for my friends have been evident in my writing and photography, I would be remiss if I were to fail to be explicit.
From my observation, everyone loves Art Sherman. Race fans, the media, fellow trainers, jockeys, owners, his employees...I've not met a single person who has ever had anything but kind words to say about him. And because of Art, I have had the opportunity to meet scores of folks in each of these categories, as well as his family and close friends.
Ambassador is the word that my husband always uses when referring to this jovial, dedicated and direct gentleman, who has had the earnest task of training the world's most beloved race horse for the past four years. It is a job he has embraced with the zeal of youth, his focus being on what is best for California Chrome, while always being available to accommodate an interview request or to sign an autograph.
During morning training at any track, Art is easy to find. If you are not tipped off by TV cameras or a crowd of Chromies, all you have to do is listen for his laugh. It is pure joy and it travels well.
I treasure the stories, the sense of family and the laughter that are central to life in the Sherman barn. I am warmed by every welcome back I received whenever I showed up the week of a race. I am humbled to have been included as part of a team and a family that I respect and admire so deeply.
I cherish the good-natured ribbing about my golf cart driving skills, the manner in which I devour a lobster, and the ragged straw hat that made it to every morning training session, even when it had to travel by airplane from Georgia.
My affection and regard for his entire team, and for Art personally, are genuine and profound. You will find no finer people in Thoroughbred horse racing, or in life. To say "thank you" seems insufficient.
Bless you, my dear friend. For in knowing you I am truly blessed.

Have you heard the GREAT news? There has been a major change in the real estate industry due to the bailout and there is beach condo's, islands, and beach property literally for the taking. Most people would be surprised what they find after only 10 minutes of research. Many of them now own beach property and islands for under $10,000.00 USD.

I grabbed my art equipment and headed for the door. My hubby stood over the sink, washing dishes. I kissed him, and silently paused just to watch him soaking the soiled plates. The moment was sacred. He was doing the dishes so that I could live a dream and he was happy to do it. So many times, I have walked out the door, on way to a radio interview, or a woman's meeting and hubby has taken care of the floors or dishes.
Six years ago, I was in a car accident which affected my neck. Easy tasks for some are not easy tasks for me but my hubby tackles the vacuuming, the ironing and he folds the freshly washed underwear. Years before we were married he worked in a clothing store so he knows how to fold perfectly, it makes my day to have freshly folded undies in my drawer.
All of these beautiful realities of our lives would not have been possible had we not both believed in the principle of equality in marriage.
Where I am stronger, I boldly lead. Where he is stronger, he helps, he aids and he settles the fires that can burn out of control especially in ministry. We help one another and boldly place the Messiah as the head of our home. Our testimony and our scars have borne witness to the equality that we have been given as children of God. We never hesitate to love and serve one another, even in our imperfections, of which we have plenty.
We Help One Another and Boldly Place the Messiah as the Head of Our Home.
Recently my husband and I were traveling home from organizing from my book launch. While we were driving my husband who is an avid cyclist turned and said, "you're the team leader, we gotta set the pace.""What does that make you?" I said with a smile. "I'm your domestique" he replies.
In cycling the domestique rides for the team leader, he or she fetches the water bottles and sets the pace at the front of the bunch if the team leader is leading the race. The domestique will even give his or her bicycle to the team leader if there has been a crash and this helper will always nurse the team leader and care for his or her well – being during the race, it's a ride of sacrifice, willingly. It's amazing to watch how this works in a cycling race and I was amazed at my hubby's words, to me they were life – giving.
You have always been my Helper. Don't leave me now, don't abandon me, O God of my salvation! (Psalm 27:9 NLT)
In our fixation with the Genesis story and the helper named Eve, we have forgotten the many scriptures that show men as helpers, children as helpers, and even God Almighty, the Warrior King as our very present Helper in every trial.
This does not imply that a helper is weak or less than another, it implies that there is a relationship of love, of sacrifice, of tender care and concern. We have chosen this walk for our marriage, a walk of equality and service as we cycle together on the road of life.
I stand up and speak in front of others because, in the quiet of my darkest hours, my husband has helped me battle my fear of public speaking. I continue to press into writing even in the face of doubt because my husband encourages me.
God knew what He was doing when He joined us together, with a smile He knew we both needed a suitable helper.

It's no wonder then, that rather than starting from a simple sketch, Anastassia's designs first take form in her mind as wearable expressions of love. To this poetic artist, love can be light, simple and carefree, or it can be dark and mysterious—just like her molten work. Each piece is either fabricated by hand or wax cast, driven by the shape and soul of materials. Anastassia pours, well, her heart into each piece, channeling positivity for a cancer recovery patient, or good vibes toward a recipient's hometown. In the end, the union between the design and its wearer is love (with plenty of lust) at first sight.

Houston (AFP) – Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan was named the National Football League's Most Valuable Player, 24 hours before he attempts to crown a superb season with Super Bowl glory.
The 31-year-old scooped the award after collecting 25 of the votes polled, while his opposite number in Sunday's showpiece, the New England Patriots' Tom Brady, finished with 10 votes.
Ryan's award came after a dazzling season at the heart of Atlanta's free-scoring offense that saw the quarterback finish with 4,944 yards, 38 touchdowns and only seven interceptions.
Brady, who is chasing a record fifth Super Bowl on Sunday, finished the season with 3,554 yards, 28 touchdowns and only two interceptions but played four games fewer because of his "Deflategate" suspension.
Unsurprisingly, Ryan also picked up the Offensive Player of the Year award.
The Falcons quarterback enjoyed comfortably the best season of his career after spending last summer working intensively on his throwing motion at a Los Angeles training camp. Ryan averaged just over nine yards per pass, the highest rate ever for a quarterback with more than 400 completions in a season.
Defensive Player of the Year went to Khalil Mack of the Oakland Raiders. Mack's season included 11 sacks, five forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and a pick-six as the Raiders reached the playoffs.
Elsewhere, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was a surprise pick ahead of teammate Ezekiel Elliott for Offensive Rookie Player of the Year.
Prescott, who played the entire season for Dallas after starter Tony Romo suffered a back injury in pre-season, won 28 of 50 votes, beating out Elliott, who finished runner-up with 21 votes.
The Cowboys, who were beaten in their opening playoff game by the Green Bay Packers after finishing the regular season 13-3, also saw coach Jason Garrett pick up Coach of the Year honors.
The 2017 class of the Pro Football Hall of Fame was also announced in the ceremony on the eve of the Super Bowl.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and Danish-born kicking great Morten Andersen were selected along with long-time Seattle Seahawks safety Kenny Easley, LaDainian Tomlinson, Terrell Davis, Jason Taylor and Kurt Warner.
– Owens snubbed again –
Notable absentees included former NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue and mercurial wide receiver Terrell Owens, who called the process "flawed" after learning that he'd been snubbed again in his second year of eligibility.
Jones bought the Cowboys in 1989 and became the first owner whose team went to the Super Bowl four times in his first seven years with the franchise. Jones is widely involved in NFL ownership committees, including marketing, sponsorship, television, stadium management, labor negotiations and television.
Warner played in three Super Bowls — two with the St. Louis Rams and another with the Arizona Cardinals — and has the three highest passing yardage totals in the game's history. In a rags-to-riches story, he was bagging groceries and playing for the Arena Football League's Iowa Barnstormers before he caught on with the Rams as a free agent in 1998.
Andersen entered the NFL in 1982 and retired in 2004. He set the record for career points (2,544), field goals (565) and game played (382) in a career that included stints with the New Orleans Saints, Falcons, New York Giants, Kansas City Chiefs and Minnesota Vikings.
Tomlinson, the league's number five all-time rusher, made the Hall of Fame on the first ballot.

Shape Effect on the Reflectance of Sub-Wavelength Structures on Silicon Nitride for Solar Cell Application
K.C. Sahoo, Y. Li, E.Y. Chang
National Chiao Tung University, TW
Keywords: solar cell, sub-wavelength structure, rigorous coupled wave analysis
Abstract:Sub-wavelength structure (SWS) on anti-reflection coating instead of semiconductor surface can improve the efficiency of silicon solar cell has been studied both numerically and experimentally recently. The shape of the SWS may be somewhat variable and, therefore, a multilayer rigorous coupled-wave approach is advanced to investigate the reflection properties of silicon nitride (Si3N4) SWS for four different shaped SWS, assuming a hexagonal nipple lattice. In this study, we investigate the spectral reflectivity of silicon nitride (Si3N4) sub-wavelength structures (SWS) with different shapes. We vary the height of etched part "s" and the thickness of non-etched layer "h" for four different SWS structures (pyramid, parabola, cone, and cylinder) to examine the lowest effective reflectance.

The Paper Goddess started for me as a reference to the plethora of paper I have collected over the past (almost) 15 years while scrapbooking and paper crafting.
When a family member overheard my Skype name, they snickered about the reference and so it stuck!
In no way am I referring to myself as a Goddess, in the sense to be revered or as some sort of deity.
But I do use it tongue-in-cheek as a confidence boost. A reminder to be gentle to myself and be who I am (a work-in-progress). And love who I am. To believe in myself and to be strong.
I see too many women struggling. Competing. Being stretched too thin doing for others while not taking care of themselves. I truly believe you are no good to anyone else, until you take care of yourself first.
So I am the Paper Goddess. For those reasons^^^ & the fact that I have a boatload of actual paper!
What are you the goddess of? Are you a Paper Goddess too?

Doctor Who to Announce 13th Doctor on Sunday
After months of speculation, Doctor Who is finally set to reveal its Thirteenth Doctor this weekend.
RELATED: Doctor Who Finale Reveals Spoiler-y Christmas Special Details
Ahead of the show's panel at Comic-Con International next week, its Twitter account released a short video teasing that Peter Capaldi's successor will be announced Sunday, following the Wimbledon men's final.
Exclusive News: It's Almost Time. #DoctorWho pic.twitter.com/rB4t1RH8Dx
— Doctor Who Official (@bbcdoctorwho) July 14, 2017
There's been plenty of speculation about the identity of the next Doctor, with Luke Treadaway (Fortitude) and Sacha Dhawan (Iron Fist) said to be the frontrunners for the highly coveted role.
Of course, that doesn't mean the BBC and the incoming showrunner Chris Chibnall, along with the new executive producer Matt Strevens, haven't looked elsewhere.
RELATED: Doctor Who Season 11 Could Feature a Single Storyline
Capaldi, who's exiting the series along with current showrunner Steven Moffat, is set to make his final promotional appearance for the series next week at Comic-Con. The Hall H panel will serve as a farewell for both Capaldi and Moffat, who are coming off of what has been considered one of Doctor Who's strongest seasons in recent years. While the full cast has yet to be confirmed for the panel, it's entirely possible the new Doctor will be on hand prior to his debut in the Christmas special.

I'm entering an iron condor trade - a fairly neutral trade given the state of the market. This is the first new trade after a few weeks given the choppiness of the market.
DIA 109/107/99/97 iron condor
|1. Exit if I can lock in
60% of my initial credit (i.e. $.36 debit to close)
2. Exit if I can close each spread for 20% of the initial credit (i.e. $.18 per side)
3. Exit if within 4-7 days of expiration
The trade didn't yield as nice of a credit as I'd hoped for but given the drop in volatility, it's probably the best I can hope for right now.
I mentioned in the last newsletter that I'm expecting the market to trade in a range for the next month or so. That doesn't mean I expect the market to be flat. I expect lots of ups and downs to be sure. However, It wouldn't surprise me to see the DIA (and the market in general) end the month only just slightly up or down.
Given the current churn in the market, I think the iron condor is the perfect choice. What I'm expecting to happen is that as the DIA continues to gain strength, I'll close the put spread per my exit rules. Then on a selling phase, I'll look for an opportunity to close the call spread.
Keep in mind there is a fair amount of overhead resistance around the area where I sold the short call. I'd be surprised if September is the month that this breakout happens.
Strike selection is important for any options trade, not just for the iron condor. The two key factors are what option month to use and what strike values to use.
In terms of the option cycle, I'm looking at the October options because there are less that 2 weeks until September expiration, which doesn't leave much premium.
For my iron condor strategy, I typically look for a short strike on either side having a probability of expiring of 25-30%. However, I also want to make sure that the resulting short strikes fall at or above resistance for the call and at or below support for the put. The technical component gives me just a little more confidence in the position.
The result is that my short strikes are a $107 call and a $99 put. That's an $8 range (800 DOW points). For the long call and put, I'll select a strike that is $2 away, which means the spreads are $2 wide, which is the maximum risk in this trade.
For this trade, I have no early exit rules. In its simplest form, I'll put the trade on for $.90 credit and it will either expire worthless (I keep the $.90) or it expires fully ITM (I lose $1.10). This represents my best and worst case scenario. From this perspective, my reward risk would be $.90/$1.10 or 81%.
Another way to view the trade as I described above is that there is a probability of just 51.7% that this will expire somewhere between the two break even points. What if I wanted to improve those odds just a little?
The trading plan I often employ with an iron condor trade is to close the trade early if I can lock in 60% of the initial credit. I often do this by closing each spread for 20% of the initial credit. If I can do this on each side, I'm left with 60% of the initial credit. While my profit in the trade decreases, my probability improves.
With the exit rules I just outlined, I'm selling the position for a $.90 credit but I'd be giving back $.36 to close the position and keeping $.54. However my risk is still the same ($1.10). So with this scenario my reward/risk is 49%. Can I live with that? Of course. Especially if the trades closed with a profit more often.
I've mentioned this before but it's worth repeating. You can't realize unlimited profit and no risk at the same time. It's the nature of this business that you will always be trading off some amount of reward to reduce risk (or increase your odds). The challenge is trying to find a balance you are comfortable with. I can't tell you what yours should be. I only know what I can live with.
Position sizing is one of the more critical aspects of setting up any trade. It's what keeps me from losing my shirt if the trade goes bad. One of the things I like about the iron condor strategy I employ is that I put the trade on knowing I could experience the maximum loss. With that in mind, I should be able to come up with a position size that allows me to remain within a tolerable loss amount.
In my case, I've chosen 2% of my portfolio as the maximum I'm willing to risk on any trade. My portfolio currently is at $16,864, which means I can risk $337 per trade. With a maximum risk of $110 per contract, I can sell 3 contracts and remain within my risk tolerance.
As I've already discussed, my main exit strategy will be to close the
position when I can lock in some profit. I will largely do that by closing each
spread individually but may also close the entire trade if I can do so according
to my rules outlined below.
Due to some of the poor results I've achieved in past trades from adjusting the position after I put it on, I won't be adjusting this trade. I will simply put it on and let the rules take care of themselves.
No trade exists in a vacuum - unless it's the only trade currently on. In this case, that's the way it is. I've closed all the other positions so the iron condor is the only trade on.
Notice that the position currently has a slightly negative delta. That's because there was a slight initial skew. Notice the probabilities for the short call & put in the strike selection above. That's ok though. There will probably be plenty of fluctuation on this trade as it progresses.
The important factor to look at is the theta. This is a positive theta position, which means it benefits from the passing of time - even if the underlying goes nowhere. These are the kinds of trades I like to have on.
With the recent market bullishness, the order to close the put spread portion of this iron condor filled at $.18. I'm now left with a short call spread.
Is it time to start adjusting? Not just yet. In fact I stated earlier that I didn't intend to do more than follow my rules on this trade. For now, that's just what I intend to do. Given that many of my prior trades suffered in either low profitability or loss, I'm going to let this trade run.
Since this is option expiration week, I ended up closing the call spread for $1.97 per my exit rule. The upshot is that I made no adjustments other than following my standard exit rules.
First, let's evaluate the results of the trade and then I'll conclude with lessons learned. I entered this position for $.90 credit and paid $.18 to close the put side of the spread. I then paid $1.97 to close the call side of the spread. The result is a net loss of $1.25 per contract on 3 contracts. That means a total loss of $375.
When I entered this trade I determined not to make any particular adjustments other than those associated with my basic trading rules for the iron condor. I chose to do this because a number of my prior trades had varying results for having been adjusted.
Does the fact that this trade lost money mean that I should continue adjusting? Certainly some of my prior trades also lost money even with adjusting. The key point is that one trade isn't enough to evaluate the effectiveness of a management strategy. Before implementing a full scale management strategy many trades are required using the same rules in order to evaluate the long term effectiveness. This can be tested in real time via paper trading or with a back testing tool.
It's worth pointing out that the thinkorswim by TD AMERITRADE platform offers a nifty tool called 'On Demand' that allows one to replay the market tick by tick. Using a tool such as this, you could enter and manage trades using a set of test rules to evaluate the effectiveness over different time periods.
Rule # 1 - Don't lose money.
Rule # 2 - Never forget Rule #1 (Warren Buffet)
Stay tuned for further updates as the trade progresses...

So, you've had enough of working that 9 to 5 job Monday through Friday and are thinking about taking what you know and your skills off on your own to start a home business. Before you give up the 9 to 5 you will need to take a lot into consideration such as your marketing plan, how you are going to fund this and how you are going to advertise.
Be concerned about your future. Not many of us leave home without having some sort of plan in place and it should be no different when you are deciding to leave your job behind and go out on your own. Make sure you know where you are going. You will need to figure out what exactly your business is going to be, decide what market area needs your business the most, who is going to buy your service or product and why you think it's needed.
Get to know the target market you are considering. Make sure you do adequate research on those people that you are going to want to serve or sell your products to. Make sure that you have what they really are looking for.
Check out the competition and see what they are doing and how well their businesses are doing. Check in your phone book go online and find businesses that do what you want to do or at least similar to what you do. Call and ask them how they did this year with their business and then ask yourself what it is you can do better to make your service more needed than theirs. Figure out how you can outdo your competitors.
Reach out to others and let them know you are going into business on your own. Make sure to create your marketing plan so it includes how you plan on advertising. You will need to advertise in all manners you can think of. You should place ads in newspapers, put fliers up around town, place ads on the Internet by going to sites that allow you to post your ads, make a website to advertise your business and always, use word of mouth, this still works even in this day and age of technology.
Make sure that you know all of the rules that you must follow to keep your business legal by making sure you know all of the regulations there might be set down by both your state and federal government.
You will need to make a plan that will include details on all of your daily operations. You will need to figure out how your product or service is going to be delivered or manufactured and if you are selling products how are they going to be delivered to your customers. You need to know this before you open shop the first day.
Are you going to be able to fund all of the costs to start up, be realistic. If you truly can't dish out all of the money are you going to be willing to get a hold of your local banks or other lenders and see if you can get at least some of it by getting a small business loan. You don't want to start up a business and not have enough capitol to get through the first 6 months of the year.
Make sure you plan well ahead of time. Save up enough money that will cover all of your own monthly bills for at least six months after you start your business. So, this means don't quite that 9 to 5 job until you do have that much money saved up.

Before I was three years old I had been lost in the woods and in a separate incident fallen down a drain where I remained for quite some time before being found and rescued by neighbouring housewives searching for me. When I was five I was spat at, name called and beaten by a fellow, vicious classmate. By the time I was six I became very drunk on a family holiday abroad, spending the next day badly hungover. The mayhem, drinking and attracting violence stayed with me for most of my years before I fell to a condition known as agoraphobia. I binned all four afflictions when I found Martial Arts and beautiful love in the form of my wife and three children.
Then as I entered my thirties, those afflictions (minus the agoraphobia) returned. Violent men led to me to heavy drink which bought back the mayhem. Martial Arts and my healthy passion for the fighting world disappeared and my family almost followed until I found myself lying in a hospital bed on the brink of a disastrous adventure from which I may not have recovered. 'Not again' I thought to myself 'Not again." No more would I let mayhem take from me what was mine. It was time to climb out of the drain….and so I did. I have been called a failure…I am seen as a Father, I have been called a spaz…I have been successful, I have lost and I have won, I have been hated and I have been hugged but perhaps most importantly I have been called a waster and yet I have been named Warrior. I'll leave you to judge as you read the book An Everyday Warrior, but hold on…it gets bumpy.

I thought I would jot down a few thoughts on market trends. 2×2:2 Client Devices The market is trending toward 2×2:2 clients. Those 4×4:4 clients that you were hoping for aren't coming. In fact, 3×3:3 clients are are mostly on

With client density continually on the rise, and more high-density use cases popping up all the time, it only makes sense to replace unused 2.4GHz radios with 5GHz radios in many deployment scenarios. As the 2.4GHz band becomes more crowded

Two drop out of Texas Mile
GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas - The Grade 3, $300,000 Texas Mile at Lone Star Park on Saturday lost two major players Wednesday with the defections of Keats and Irisheyesareflying. Hal's Hope, winner of the Grade 1 Gulfstream Park Handicap in his last start, is the probable favorite for the race.
Reba's Gold, who earned a Beyer Speed Figure of 115 for a money allowance victory at Santa Anita in February, is scheduled to arrive for the Texas Mile by plane from California on Friday.
Irisheyesareflying, winner of the Grade 3 Berkeley Handicap at Golden Gates in his last start, will pass the race because his training has not been satisfactory.
"I had to back off him after his last work," said trainer John Dolan. "Everything wasn't right."
Keats last raced March 3, finishing third in the Grade 2 New Orleans Handicap.
Screen Idol points for Lone Star Derby
Screen Idol, convincing winner of the $75,000 Northern Spur at Oaklawn in his last start, is being pointed for the Grade 3, $500,000 Lone Star Derby on May 11. Earlier this season, the colt won the $75,000 Crescent City Derby at Fair Grounds.
"After his race at Oaklawn Park, I feel like he deserves a shot in the Lone Star Derby," said Screen Idol's trainer, Bret Thomas. "He's shown a lot of class and a lot of ability."
Screen Idol is one of 40 horses Thomas has based at Louisiana Downs. His other stakes winners in training are Knight of the Mt., winner of the $101,430 Jean Lafitte Futurity at Delta Downs earlier this month, and Truly Sunlit, third last out in the $75,000 Wafare Farm Stakes at Lone Star.
Thomas has yet to make a decision on Knight of the Mt.'s next start.
"He came out of his last race with a little shin soreness," Thomas said, "so we're going to give him his time."
One possible race for the colt is the $100,000 Middleground at Lone Star on July 13.
Truly Sunlit is a candidate for the $150,000 Stonerside Stakes over seven furlongs on May 25 at Lone Star.
"I thought she ran a very, very strong third in my opinion," Thomas said of the filly's effort in the Wafare. "She went out really strong after the wire, and I definitely think seven furlongs would be a good distance for her."
Lights on Broadway to prep sprinting
Lights on Broadway, a Texas Mile nominee who won the $50,000 Premiere Stakes at Lone Star opening night under Jerry Bailey, could make his next start in the $50,000 Carter McGregor, a six-furlong race for statebreds May 27.
"I might try to sharpen him up and run short, then from there go into the Assault," said trainer Bubba Cascio.
Last year, Lights on Broadway won the Assault Stakes, a $125,000 race over 1 1/16 miles for statebreds on June 29. The $75,000 Bob Johnson Memorial, on July 14, is another possibility this meet for Lights on Broadway.
Beefed up Summer Showdown
Purses for the five stakes that will make up the annual Texas Summer Showdown for Quarter Horses at Sam Houston Race Park on July 27 have been increased 25 percent, bringing the total stakes distribution that night to $175,000. Last year, the five-stakes series was worth $140,000.
The Texas Summer Showdown is among the highlights of a 30-race stakes program for Quarter Horses this meet at Sam Houston. The track's 44-night meet opens June 28 and runs through Sept. 8.
The richest stakes on the calendar are the Grade 1, $100,000-added Sam Houston Futurity on Sept. 7; the 100,000-added Texas Quarter Horse Association Sales Futurity and Grade 1, $80,000-added MBNA Texas Challenge Championship, both July 13; and the Grade 2, $50,000-added Sam Houston Classic on Aug. 30.
* Trainer Eddie Willis and jockey Larry Payne swept two of the biggest Quarter Horse stakes, both Grade 1's, at Remington Park last weekend. The trainer-jockey combo won Saturday's $345,275 Remington Park Futurity with Outdashing ($7.40) and the $137,420 Remington Park Derby with A Real Man ($4.40) on Sunday.
* Mike's Sister, who has played runner-up to stakes winners Little Angel, Serena's Tune, and Midge Too in three of her last five starts, makes her turf debut Friday night in the featured ninth race at Lone Star, a five-furlong turf allowance for fillies and mares worth $36,000.

Many companies in their early stages don't have a clear goal and an ambitious plan, they just want to realize their excellent ideas and make creative people survive. If the business idea is good, and staffs are willing to do practical work, then companies could develop and improve in the long run. However, as the company grows, it should adjust its goal and make changes constantly. If it refuses to change, it will go bankrupt soon.
The old Chinese saying of "food first, then comes soldiers and horses " is also appropriate for company's growth plan. On the way of advancement, business plan, professional ethics, and company's responsibilities are all our "food". Without food, army will panic; without "food", the company will be like a runaway horse, the faster it runs, the harder to be controled. Sinorama was found in 2005 and has developed step by step up until today. What is our business goal? What kind of business we want to do? Besides the management, everyone might have such questions in mind.
From the perspective of company scale: At the beginning, Sinorama was only a small office. After ten years' development, today it becomes a large company with more than a dozen companies in the world. In the next 10 years, we will strive towards the Fortune Global 500 because we could not limit ourselves to a national ranking. What we aim for is worldwide ranking. Although we will have a lot of obstacles placed in the way, the use of our unique advantages could make our dream come true. This requires sustainable efforts of our employees.
From the perspective of business development: Sinorama is mainly rooted in the tourism industry, and the international tourism business is our unique advantage. At the same time, we start to set up a global operation and service center, which is an effective support to our globalization into a large scale. We will also improve operational efficiency, reduce cost and promote quality of service. In the next few years, we will continue to work hard to become the industry leader. However, our business is not limited to tourism business, we aim to establish a global tourism company and use our huge customer resources to build a famous global TVL (travel, hospitality & leisure) company. In the following days, our strategic goal is:Set up global operating and service center Establish a global distribution network Promote online sales model Speed up development and take public financing
From the perspective of social mission: when a company grows to a certain size, it shall take its corresponding social missions, because its activities will have direct or indirect influence on society, the effect could be positive or negative. Sinorama hopes its growth would bring positive influence to the society. Through our efforts in the field of tourism, we would like to help people from all over the world know different cultures of other countries and regions. Chinese old saying says "travelling ten thousand miles, reading ten thousand books." Only by travelling and reading, we could extend our horizon. We are proud of our sacred mission: we live better without prejudice!
From perspective of company culture: For a Canadian company that mainly ran by Chinese, Sinorama is always influenced by Chinese culture and spirit. When our business grows and diversifies, it needs an integration of other cultures and it will widely absorb the best parts of both western and eastern cultures to form its unique culture. As an employee of Sinorama, from the moment that we come into the company, we shall have a sense of pride that comes from all aspects related to salary, employee benefits, professional training, and opportunity of work promotio. As a result, everyone feels free, fair, and happy.
To achieve these goals, we need to work together.

Not only is the from scratch lime curd made with WHOLE eggs, but these bite-size lime tartlets have only FIVE ingredients!!!
It's finally starting to feel like spring around here! Fresh air and sunshine have me squealing for joy, and I think our snowy, cold winter is finally behind us in the Midwest. I can even deal with a few April showers if I know those May flowers are only a mere two weeks away!!
This recent change in the weather has inspired me to get in the kitchen and make some new desserts! Even though the lime curd is made from scratch, it doesn't take much time, or many ingredients, to prepare. Which is good, because I want to eat a yummy dessert AND have time to get outside and enjoy all that spring has to offer! 🙂
Not only is the lime curd made with whole eggs (no wasted egg whites, my friends), but it's a cinch to whip up. All you need is five minutes and a bit of elbow grease!! Fold in some freshly whipped cream, dollop it in a mini phyllo cup, and you've got a bite size dessert perfect for a busy weeknight OR leisurely weekend entertaining. Enjoy!
- Juice and zest of one lime
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 - 1.9 oz. packages frozen mini phyllo shells (about 30 shells)
- Zest the lime to use as a garnish. You can finely grate it or peel off the rind and slice it thinly. (optional)
- In a small saucepan over medium high heat, whisk together the lime juice, eggs and sugar. Continue whisking for about 4 - 5 minutes or until the mixture has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Strain lime curd through a fine mesh sieve to make sure the mixture is completely smooth.
- Transfer lime curd to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 15 minutes or in the refrigerator for one hour.
- Using a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment or a hand mixer with double beaters, whip the cream to stiff peaks, about 2 minutes.
- Remove the chilled lime curd from the freezer or refrigerator.
- Fold in the whipped cream with a spatula.
- Using a piping bag fitted with a star tip (or a gallon ziplock bag with a snipped corner) pipe the lime curd mixture into the phyllo cups.
- Top with a bit of lime zest. (optional)
- Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Obdulia Sanchez pleaded not guilty to manslaughter, DUI and child endangerment charges Wednesday morning in connection to a livestreamed vehicle crash that killed her sister, according to court documents.
Prosecutors added two counts of child endangerment charges to their complaint Wednesday, records indicate.
Sanchez had another chance to enter a plea during an arraignment Wednesday after she was ordered to stand trial. The case will now go to trial.
Sanchez was driving her 15-year-old sister, Jacqueline Sanchez, and sister's girlfriend, 14-year-old Manuela Seja, from Fresno to StocktonJuly 21 on Henry Miller Road north of Los Banos when the car veered off the roadway, overturning and killing her sister, police said. Manuela suffered a laceration to her leg, and Sanchez didn't suffer major injuries, according to reports.
Sanchez streamed video before, during and after the crash on Instagram. The social media video went viral because of it's graphic nature and that it showed Sanchez sitting above her sister, shaking her and claiming she killed her.
Sanchez's bail was lowered Wednesday from $560,000 to $470,000 due to the Merced County District Attorney's Office dropping great bodily injury enhancements on Sanchez's charges, according to court documents. Those charges were reduced because Seja didn't suffer major injuries as previously reported.
Sanchez's attorney, Ramnik Samrao, had been asking for the court to lower bail throughout the preliminary hearings.
"We're happy to see some movement on the bail issue," Samrao said, adding that he was seeking a $320,000 amount that would fit with her charges and situation.
The amount Samrao was seeking may have been low enough for Sanchez's family and friends to post bail, he said.
But Samrao said the court gave the defense an opportunity to ask for a lower bail amount from the trial judge, which he plans on doing Tuesday.
A trial setting conference was scheduled for Oct. 10 in Merced.

Feminist Aid, Feminist Data?
- This event is offered only in English.
This is the first CASID Certificate Seminar in the 2017/2018 Series.
All are welcome and University of Ottawa students are especially encouraged to participate.
Maximum enrolment: 20 Certificate seminar participants
The first hour will be a public presentation by Dr. Liam Swiss, Memorial Univeristy, Newfoundland titled:
Foreign Aid and Norm Diffusion: The Case of Gender Equality
In the face of sometimes significant resistance, norms of gender equality and women's rights have been institutionalized in almost every country of the world over the last half-century. Even in some of the most patriarchal and gender unequal countries in the world, we see at least the tacit embrace of global norms on gender equality (GE) and women's rights (i.e. ratification of CEDAW, the adoption of electoral quotas, the creation of a Women's ministry). Past research points to the influence of transnational advocacy, the global women's movement, human rights treaties, and global conferences as key contributors to the spread of gender equality norms throughout World Society. Yet, despite increased studies indicating that foreign aid facilitates developing country embeddedness within World Society, no study has examined whether aid contributes to the diffusion of gender norms in the Global South. This study examines aid's role in norm diffusion and its effects on gender inequality to assess how it contributes to the institutionalization of gender equality norms globally. Using a dataset of bilateral development assistance flows and country level indicators of gender equality and institutional adoption, this paper employs event history analysis and fixed-effects panel regression to show aid's role in norm diffusion and the support of GE. Our results contribute to an expanded understanding of the role of aid and World Society in the diffusion of gender equality norms, and suggest a framework for understanding foreign aid's role in norm diffusion processes more generally.
Following the public presentation will be a Certificate Seminar for registered participants to examine strategies for analysing foreign aid data and its relationship to gender equality programming. This part of the seminar will focus on skills development in reading and analysing aid data and statistics. This second part of the event will be facilitated by Dr. Liam Swiss.

Pulsed Electromagnetic Therapy
Your body is a complex biological machine composed of chemical and electrical fields. We are only as healthy as the cells in our body. Like little batteries, your cells are capable of being charged or depleted. Energy trumps chemistry; if your cells are energetically weak any germ can invade and infect the cell.
At Pulse4Life, Inc, we have entered an era where machines can broadcast therapeutic electromagnetic fields that bring our cells into a state of resonance. This strengthens the energy field of each cell, fortifying and protecting it from attacking organisms that can cause disease.
Pulsed electromagnetic therapy returns energy that is lost and restores balance and a healthy state of vibration. This boosts your entire cellular metabolism. Your blood cells regenerate and circulation is improved; with the increased oxygen, your immune system is strengthened. Nutrients are better absorbed. Your respiratory system becomes more efficient, the nervous system is relaxed, and your bones become stronger. Vital organs such as your liver, kidneys, and colon are able to cleanse and rid themselves of impurities to regain their function.
Pulsed electromagnetic therapy is not a static magnet (such as magnetic mattress pads), but is a Resonating Magnetic Field (RMS).
Electromagnetic field therapy utilizes "pulsed magnetic fields." Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMFs) are used because a static magnetic field isn't able to permeate your whole body and your body's cells quickly become used to a constant magnetic field and cease to be benefited. The pulsating field can be optimized to the correct frequency of vibration that affects your entire system and its continued use has many benefits.
Pulsed electromagnetic therapy is established across the globe. Over 2,000 clinical studies worldwide prove its efficacy.
Pulse4Life, Inc has over a decade of experience and is here to help you feel better and improve your life. Our product comes with a 3-year warranty. Contact us today and ask about our referral programs, reseller options, and financing options.
The Benefits of PEMF
- Improved sleep
- Better circulation
- Helps with nerve regeneration
- Helps with wound healing
- Better immunity
- Creates stronger bones
PEMF Treats a Wide Range of Conditions
- Stiffness
- Anxiety
- Stress
- Hopelessness
- Lyme disease

CARLSTADT, N.J. — Carlstadt Public School math teacher, Jen Milligan is hosting a Glamour Bingo Night tonight, Friday, Oct. 16, to help raise funds for Nephcure Kidney International — a cause close to her heart.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m., with the event starting at 7:30 p.m., at St. Francis Church, 125 Union Street, Lodi. A $30 donation includes bingo sheets and a marker.
"We had originally hoped to raise $3,000 but we have already sold 250 tickets," Milligan said. "We have exceeded that goal."
This is the first year, Milligan is hosting the event in honor of her daughter Quinn, who is 5 and has Nephrotic Syndrome — a kidney disorder that causes the body to excrete too much protein in the urine.
One morning when Quinn was 15 months old, the Carlstedt couple, Jen and Jarrett, found her to have swollen eyelids. Jen called the pediatrician and was instructed to put a warm compress on her eyes. The next morning it was worse.
The doctor diagnosed Quinn with an ear infection and sent home. Within two days, her eye lids were almost swollen shut and her body showed signs of water retention to the point where her clothes didn't fit.
Quinn was sent to the emergency room.
"After what seemed like an eternity with never-ending tests, we met with a pediatric nephrologist... who informed us Quinn had Nephrotic Syndrome," Milligan said. "She was hospitalized for three days and spent her second Thanksgiving in Hackensack University Medical Center."
The family then got involved with NephCure, a 501 (c)(3) public charity.
"NephCure is the only organization that is solely committed to supporting research seeking the cause of nephrotic syndrome and FSGS, two debilitating kidney diseases," Milligan said. "Fundraising events such as these are so important because families like ours continue to hope for a cure."
Designer labels up for grab as prizes include Coach, Henry Bendel, LeSport Sac, Michael Kors and Vera Bradley. Louis Vuitton Neverfull is the grand prize.
Participants are encouraged to bring snacks and beverages of their choice.

At Chinnovate.com, timely articles about business innovation are featured to help readers incorporate and invent creative approaches for improving their business fundamentals. Cornell professor and robotics engineer Hod Lipson is fascinated by a different type of innovation. He is preoccupied with the question: Can computers augment or replace human invention? In other words, can computers be as creative and innovative as humans? Since humans and other biological life forms excel at designing, adapting, breeding, and evolving, Lipson uses a biologically inspired approach in his design of robots.
I have always been fascinated by Chinese design. Har-Ye's work caught my attention over a chat at Harvard as she is one of the world's leading expert in Chinese railways. Enjoy her article below.
Starting a company can be quite different in scaling a startup, and as such require quite different different skillsets. One of the most difficult decisions of an entrepreneur is when to let go of their baby, step aside and let professional management take over. Shiva explains more.
There is a significant difference between a small start-up business and as the famous venture capitalist Vinod Khosla calls it a "zero billion dollar start-up". The latter has the DNA to become big and have a meaningful exit or growth path. How does one scale a start-up and that too at the right speed? This article of mine shares some ideas.
