GBP/USD follows the same pattern
The pair looks to be repeating the pattern of recent days, which have seen cable advance, pull-back and then advance again. If yesterday's lows of around $1.4136 hold, then we could see further upside progress towards the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) at $1.4350.
A close above here would enable the pair to contemplate a continuation of the rally, this time to the February highs around $1.4670. Dips should continue to be bought here, with only a move below $1.4050 invalidating this outlook.

Our favorite and most requested, we've used for years - easy to make, durable - never fails.
We use this as a base for many cookies, but chocolate chip is hard to beat.
There's a lot of ingredients here. Let's do some real cookin'! Remember that baking is basically chemistry. You need to carefully measure the ingredients and follow the directions - no matter what recipe you use.
Layers of flavors and "that homemade taste" are what follows more complex recipes like this one. A nice change-up is to use white chocolate chips, or butterscotch. Placing a Hershey's Kiss on top is also a nice touch.
Filling and delicious, these cookies can be a stand-alone dessert or served with other chocolate desserts.

SSH, also known as Secure Socket Shell and is UNIX-based command-line interface (CLI) and protocol for securely accessing remote machine/device over unsecured network as it uses encrypted pathway. It use default port 22 to connect to the remote machine/device. Learn more.
Even SSH being secure for remote access over unsecured network, it is still exposed to external attacks. Brute-force break-in attempts are quite frequent against an SSH server and other password protected internet-services like ftp, pop, http and so on. Fail2ban attempts to alleviate these issues by providing an automated way of not only identifying possible break-in attempts, but acting upon them quickly and easily in a user-definable manner.
Fail2ban provides following main features:
- Client/Server architecture.
- Multi-threaded.
- Highly configurable.
- Gamin/Pyinotify support.
- Parses log files and looks for given patterns.
- Executes commands when a pattern has been detected for the same IP address for more than X times. X can be changed.
- After a given amount of time, executes another command in order to unban the IP address.
- Uses Netfilter/Iptables by default but can also use TCP Wrapper (/etc/hosts.deny) and many other firewalls/actions.
- Handles log files rotation.
- Can handle multiple service (sshd, apache, vsftpd, etc).
- Resolves DNS hostname to IP address (use with caution, disable by usedns = no).
(Source: http://www.fail2ban.org/wiki/index.php/Features)
We will use Fail2ban with iptables to secure the ssh. You can use other firewall sofware like shorewall, tcp-wrappers. We will also require one working mail command to send alert (in my case mailx).
Let's begin with installation. I have used Fail2ban with CentOS 7, those who are not familar with CentOS you can refer following link for other linux distribution:
Fail2ban is not available under linux systems repository, it is packaged for the EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) project. Before installing Fail2ban you will need to install EPEL release package.
yum install epel-release -y
Note: without installing EPEL you cannot install Fail2ban package!!!
I am assuming that "iptables" is up and running. If you haven't done yet, please follow this link (iptables installation) for iptable installation before you being with file2ban installation.
After installing, "EPEL", start installing Fail2ban.
yum install fail2ban -y
Once the installation has finished, enable fail2ban service.
systemctl enable fail2ban
Start the file2ban service.
systemctl start fail2ban
All the configuration files will be located in /etc/fail2ban. The structure of files looks similar to following:
/etc/fail2ban/ ├── action.d │ ├── dummy.conf │ ├── hostsdeny.conf │ ├── iptables.conf │ ├── mail-whois.conf │ ├── mail.conf │ └── shorewall.conf ├── fail2ban.conf ├── fail2ban.local ├── filter.d │ ├── apache-auth.conf │ ├── apache-noscript.conf │ ├── couriersmtp.conf │ ├── postfix.conf │ ├── proftpd.conf │ ├── qmail.conf │ ├── sasl.conf │ ├── sshd.conf │ └── vsftpd.conf ├── jail.conf └── jail.local
Every .conf file can be overridden with a file named .local. The .conf file is read first, then .local, with later settings overriding earlier ones. The .local file doesn't exists by default, you will have to create a file and those settings that you wish to override should be stored in .local file. All modification of setings should be done in .local not in .conf file. This avoids merging problem when upgrading.
Detailed information about installation files can be found here.
General Settings
The file fail2ban.conf contains general settings for the fail2ban-server daemon, such as the logging level and target. You can also specify here the socket path used for communication between the client and the server.
The most important file is probably jail.conf, which contains the declaration of your jails. By default, some sections are inserted as templates. You must enable the sections of interest and adapt to your local configuration. Here is an example of my jail.local
ignoreip = 127.0.0.1/8 10.20.98.149
# Ban hosts for 10 minutes:
bantime = 600
findtime = 600
maxretry = 3
destemail = email@example.com
sendername = fail2ban Alerts
mta = sendmail
#By default sendmail is disabled by fail2ban. Enabled with parameter (action_mwl)s.
action = %(action_mwl)s
# Override /etc/fail2ban/jail.d/00-firewalld.conf:
banaction = iptables-multiport
enabled = true
logpath = /var/log/secure
logtarget = /var/log/fail2ban.log
Let's check what some of the parameter actually means:
- gnoreip: This parameter identifies IP address that should be ignored by the banning system. By default, this is just set to ignore traffic coming from the machine itself, which is a pretty good setting to have.
- bantime: This parameter sets the length of a ban, in seconds. The default is 600 seconds, or 10 minutes.
- findtime: This parameter sets the window that fail2ban will pay attention to when looking for repeated failed authentication attempts. The default is set to 600 seconds (10 minutes again), which means that the software will count the number of failed attempts in the last 10 minutes.
- maxretry: This sets the number of failed attempts that will be tolerated within the findtime window before a ban is instituted.
- destemail: This is the address that will be sent notification mail if configured your action to mail alerts.
- sendername: This will be used in the email from field for generated notification emails
- banaction: This sets the action that will be used when the threshold is reached. There is actually the name of a file located in /etc/fail2ban/action.d/ called iptables-multiport.conf. This handles the actual iptables manipulation to ban an IP address. We will look at this later.
- mta: This is the mail transfer agent that will be used to send notification emails.
- enabled: simply means that the ssh sever is enabled for monitoring by fail2ban.
- action:
- logpath: refers to the log location that fail2ban tracks.
- logtarget:

Howard Woolley discusses the conversion from rigid to flexible packaging…
With the packaging industry changing so rapidly, fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) companies need to keep up to date with the latest in packaging innovations in order to stay ahead of the competition, whilst being seen to be actively working on their corporate social responsibility.
In recent years, there has been a trend in packaging to convert from a rigid to a flexible format, with the result that films and foils have been introduced to the market on an unprecedented scale. The flexible packaging industry has been relatively immune from global economic downturns, with the market valued at £45.38 billion in 2011, and growing by an estimated 5% per year (The Converting Curmudgeon).
So why have supermarket shelves changed so dramatically in the last years?
An obvious advantage gained by converting from rigid to flexible packaging is resistance to impact damage. The probability of rigid packaging suffering either damage or defacing of the artwork if dropped or impacted compared with flexible packaging is greater by some degree. The advantages to the retailer are obvious – less product returns, less time in staff cleaning up broken packages, fewer customer complaints and claims caused by damaged packaging. The majority of flexible pouches and smaller bags use laminated plastics which enhance the strength / barrier characteristics of the film. Because of these and other advantages, the packers are increasingly switching to flexible packaging away from rigid containers.
Increase in design options
When choosing which flexible packaging to convert to, it's worth knowing all of the options available. Options begin with laminated bags and sacks, laminated pre-made pouches and bags, laminated BOPP/PP sacks, plastic FFS films and paper sacks. The type of packaging you choose depends on your product, its weight and the retailer.
There is now a large variety of resealable closures available for flexible packaging. Closure styles include Velcro systems, resealable zippers, top sliders, hooded sliders, face zippers, sliders and spouts. Specific closures will be product dependent, for example liquids would normally require a spout pouch to reduce spills and leaks. The introduction of laser scoring of laminated packaging enables the user to open the packaging with ease.
It is possible to print the entire surface area of the packaging which is not the case with pre-formed tubs or containers. Modern printing technology also provides the option of combining different finishes, i.e. matte or gloss onto the same printed area. Combining these two different finishes produces a sophisticated appearance. The ability to print the entire surface area of the packaging provides the customer with more space to promote their product and enables the product information shown on the packaging to be visible at all times.
Green appeal
Sustainability has become just as important as the product itself for many companies. It is a powerful argument for the environment that FMCG companies convert to flexible packaging, particularly as it can use up to 85% less energy to make flexible packaging in comparison to producing some types of rigid packaging. The majority of flexible packaging is also entirely recyclable. Developments within our industry towards the use of renewables, biodegradable materials and recyclable films are continuing apace.
Flexible packaging takes up less space during transportation in terms of size and shape, as well as weighing a lot less. The advantage for the user is that the ratio of packaging to product or fresh air that is being transported changes radically in favour of the amount of saleable product arriving at the store rather than packaging. Increasing the amount of product shipped for any given truck load means a proportional reduction in CO2 emissions, thereby reducing the customer's carbon footprint.
Efficiently reducing waste and cost
Flexible packaging, by its very nature, enables the consumer to use the entire contents of the pack, which is often not the case with rigid or semi-rigid packaging containing product such as sauces or creams. Flexible pouches or bags can be compressed when being stored on shelf. Dependent on the design, we have been able to demonstrate that as many as five times as many pouches can be stored in the same shelf space as tubs. FMCGs are typically products that are sold quickly at a relatively low cost to both the manufacturer and the consumer. With flexible packaging using up to 85% less energy, 95% less packaging and reducing transportation costs, the overall cost to package a product is considerably less in the long run, particularly when you consider you can sell much more of the product with the same shelf space as before.
In summary
Modern flexible packaging is proving its usefulness and value for businesses, consumers and the environment throughout its entire life cycle. With the latest innovations, flexible packaging reduces waste, has more of an impact on the shelf thereby enhancing the consumers' buying experience, as well as improving the manufacturing process and efficiency. Taking into consideration financial, social and environmental aspects at each stage of the packaging life cycle, flexible packaging in all formats is a product which will be with us for many years to come.

Emily Blunt and John Krasinski List Los Angeles Home for $8 Million
The five-bedroom contemporary was gift-wrapped as a gag by neighbor and comedian Jimmy Kimmel one Christmas.
The Los Angeles home of actors Emily Blunt and John Krasinski—which was gift wrapped by neighbor and late-night hostJimmy Kimmel one year—is listing for $8 million, according to listing agent Catherine Marcus of Sotheby's International Realty.
Ms. Blunt and Mr. Krasinski purchased the contemporary West Hollywood home in 2009 for $1.86 million, according to public records. The renovated five-bedroom home measures about 4,900 square feet and has a roof deck and swimming pool, said Ms. Marcus, who referred to it as "a sexy family...

When it comes to cookware, there are few things that you can never avoid. You can never avoid the cookware getting old, you can never avoid the cookware changing colors, and if you are a busy cook and don't sit over the food while you cook it, then you can't avoid food sticking to the bottom when you cook.
However, food sticking to the bottom of the pot or pan is not a common thing when it comes to stainless steel cookware. Most stainless steel cookware is coated to where you don't have to worry about he food sticking to it.
This makes things so much easier when you are getting ready to clean the cookware set. Now, in order for you to receive these benefits of a stainless steel cookware set, you have to make sure that you are getting the best stainless steel cookware set. Not just one that you picked up from the dollar store.
This is not to say that dollar store cookware is not good. I survived off of dollar store cookware for many years and they were just fine. However, if you have the extra money, I suggest that you go ahead and purchase a real genuine stainless steel cookware set. It is defiantly worth getting.
Stop It From Sticking
Now, there are only a few ways to keep your food from sticking to the bottom of your cookware set. One is to make sure that you are standing over your food and stir the entire time it is cooking. Seems impossible right? This can be a little difficult, especially if you are a stay at home mom like myself. You get busy. Kids are a lot more demanding than most would think.
However, if you want to make sure that the probability of your food sticking to the bottom of your pots and pans is low, then you should get a stainless steel cookware set. You can find a great one at Steel Cookin. You can also read more here.

- 1 pound pappardelle or fettuccine
- 2 tablespoons EVOO - Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 slice of pancetta (about a half-inch thick), cut into small pieces
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 large or 2 small heads of escarole, roughly chopped
- 1 can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
- 1/2 to 1 cup Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, grated
Place a large pot of salted water over high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook to al dente according to the package directions. Just before draining, reserve about 1 cup of the pasta-cooking water. Drain pasta and reserve.
While the pasta is cooking, place a large skillet over medium heat with 2 turns of the pan of EVOO, about 2 tablespoons. Once the pan is hot, add the pancetta and cook until crispy and it has rendered most of its fat, stirring occasionally. Drain pancetta on a paper towel-lined plate and reserve.
To the skillet with the pancetta drippings, add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic turns golden in color. When the garlic turns golden, add the escarole to the skillet, and give it a good toss until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Add the cannellini beans and the reserved pasta-cooking water into the skillet and season the mixture with salt and pepper.
Toss the cooked pasta in the skillet with the escarole and beans along with the lemon zest and cheese. Plate the pasta and garnish with toasted pine nuts and reserved pancetta.

Baker Hughes introduced the WellLink Performance service, designed to help operators reduce invisible lost time (ILT) by transforming the complex data buried within legacy applications, drilling-reporting systems, and data streams into real-time information that is instantly accessible and actionable. With this information, operators can improve drilling economics by quickly identifying, investigating, and mitigating common performance issues associated with drilling processes, such as connection procedures, circulating times, and tripping speed—inefficiencies that can account for as much as 30% of normal uptime activities. Delivered as a software-as-a-service model, the WellLink Performance service enables drilling teams to identify these inefficiencies immediately by analyzing historical and real-time wellsite data and comparing those data with planned, benchmark, and offset data. The teams also can seamlessly identify and investigate ILT root causes to a degree much more granular than is possible with common manual methods by reviewing charts that compare depth vs. days drilled and activity-analysis graphs and reports in real time. Key-performance-indicator alarms and dashboards help operators take proactive actions to improve ILT-related issues and monitor these actions in real time for continuous improvement across operations.

Death of Charles McC. Mathias Jr.
Charles McC. Mathias Jr., flanked by first lady Rosalynn Carter and President Jimmy Carter, attends a function at the U.S Naval Academy with Adm. Kinnaird McKee, then-superintendent of the academy, in June 1978. Mathias, Maryland's liberal Republican who served three terms in the U.S. Senate, where he gained enduring bipartisan respect for his conscientious approach to controversial legislation, died Jan. 25, 2010, from complications from Parkinson's disease. He was 87. Born in Frederick, Mr. Mathias retired from the Senate in 1986, ending a career on Capitol Hill that began with his election to the House of Representatives in 1960. He was elected to the Senate in 1968.Called a "maverick" Republican by some, he was a consistent supporter of organized labor, an occasional dove on defense issues and an early advocate of revitalizing the Chesapeake Bay when that was not a significant issue. "Dad lived what he believed," said Robert Mathias, one of the senator's two sons. "The conversations around the dinner table when we were kids ... were over civil rights, the Vietnam War, issues that were important to him. We were raised in that light."

Bamboo crafts in India are very popular due to its eco friendly attributes. Since ancient times, bamboo crafts had been occupying a significant position as India produces a huge amount of bamboo and cane. The bamboo craft is associated with cane and bamboo, and had been a part of Indian crafts giving rise to the expression of tribal art and provided them livelihood. As India is blessed with deft artistry, these types of craft developed in this country very soon and with the changing of style and trend, the craft has developed its designs and deftly blended tradition with fashion.
The Indian artisans are dexterous in creating bamboo crafts and arrays of bamboo items are famous in Indian as well as in abroad. Basically the artisans create variations in their creations. The craftsmen create different items with the help of different bamboos and canes that are locally known as 'sundi', 'barjali', 'harua', 'golla' etc are required for making furniture and baskets. It is observed that generally three species of cane are exploited in commercial quantities- Jati (Calamus tenuis), Tita (Calamus leptesadix) and Lejai (Calamus floribundus). Some less important qualities like Sundi (Calamus garuba) and Raidang (Calamus flagellum) are also extracted for creating superb designs.

Company magazine unveiled a new 'streetwise'design on Monday to reflect the popularity of fashion blogging and social media trends amongst young women.
The Hearst-owned women's monthly has undergone a complete redesign, with a smaller 170mm by 230mm format, blogging-inspired colour scheme and matt page stock.
The new look is inspired by the success of Company's bi-annual sister title, High Street Edit.
Following research into the purchasing habits of 19-30 year old women, Company will feature shorter, 'bite sized'articles and more images and illustration to mirror social networking platforms.
The brand is also launching its first Style Blogger Awards in association with New Look to reflect the influence of UK style bloggers and a Facebook group that will enable readers to interact with and influence magazine content.
The cover price of £2 remains the same.
Victoria White, editor of Company, said: 'The new look gives Company a point of difference at the newsstand which is what our readers are looking for. The size and format of the magazine is completely unique to the UK market. White said the new design was "a total reinvention of the traditional women's magazine."
'Social media is such an important part of any media company's overall strategy. Young people today are more tuned into Twitter and Facebook than ever and we have recognised the resurgence of social media by including design influences from the blogosphere," she said.
'Brands that don't engage with their target audiences on social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook are likely to be left behind and lose touch.'
Ella Dolphin, group publishing director of Hearst's young women's group, said the new magazine will appeal to 'the girl who dreams of being street-style spotted, who loves the nice things in life and documents them all using her camera phone."
According to ABC figures for the first half of 2011, Company's circulation fell by 17.1 per cent to 180,162 between 2010 and 2011.

Hi all, just a quick post to explain why there was no music Monday this week. I had just got back from my holiday back in New Zealand on the Sunday and I have been super busy at work ever since then.
I have a 'Summer Intensive' course running for two weeks. It is in addition to all my other classes and is two hours each morning. I still come in at my contracted 30 hours but I am a bit put out as I don't think they factor into it the huge amount of work it takes to put together this course. I have no resources and it is a phonics class which I have never taught before. I was given the book a week or two before vacation and on contacting head office about it found that it was only just published, (already found three mistakes in it, one of them quite major) and they had no resources or guidelines to go with it. It is a very basic story and song (with 5 stories) for teaching specific consonant blends - not enough to make up two hours of class work with that is for sure. So I have been doing lots of prep work, making crosswords, word searches, flash cards and anything I can think of to get through the two hours.
As such I just have not had time to do any posting, I have got some posts that I've been working on so as soon as I get some time I will get them finished and published.

Chapter1Philip Kolter- Excellent Marketing Management Summary by Cajetan D%27souza
Chapter 1Marketing in the 21st century
Courtesy: Marketing Management by Philip Kotler 10th Edition Chapter 1 Marketing in the 21st century
Scope of Marketing
Marketing people are involved in 10 types of entities:
•Goods like eggs, steel, cars (Maruti!!!! Wow)
•Services like airlines, hotels, barbers
•Experiences like Walt Disney world's magic kingdom, at planet Hollywood •Events like Olympics, trade shows, sports events
•Persons like celebrity marketing by making major film star as brand ambassador etc. •Places like cities, states, nations to attract tourists, factories, company headquarters, and new residents, like we use TAJ or say Nainital •Properties like real state owners market properties or agent markets securities •Organizations thru' Corporate identity ads like by using tag line 'Lets make things better', or like Richard Branson (virgin) or Phil knight of Nike are some identity •Information like thru encyclopedias, CDs and visit the internet for information. This is information marketing •Ideas like the buyer of a drill are really buying a hole. Church should market itself as a place of worship or a community center.
Eight different states of demand:
•Negative demand: if a major part of market dislikes the product and may even pay a price to avoid it – vaccinations, gall bladder operations etc. Marketing task is to analyse why the market dislikes the product and whether a marketing program can change beliefs and attitudes. •No Demand: Target consumers may be unaware of or uninterested in the product. Ex. College students may not be interested in foreign language courses. Marketing should look for ways to benefit others with their product and of course thus sell their product •Latent demand: Market feels strong needs for some products like harmless cigarettes. Marketer needs to measure size of this market and develop such goods •Declining demand: Market for product declines. Then marketer need to know the causes and rectify •Irregular demand: Demand of many products and services are seasonal. Marketer needs to devise ways called synchro-marketing like flexible pricing, promotions and other incentives •Full demand: sometimes full demand is there. Marketing task is to maintain current level of demand in face of changing consumer preferences and increasing competition. •Overfull demand: sometimes demand is higher than what organization can handle. Then marketing task, called de-marketing is required. like thru raising prices and reducing promotion and service. Selective marketing is reducing demand from some parts, say not so profitable, of the market •Unwholesome demand: Unwholesome products will attract organized efforts to discourage consumption. Like unselling campaigns against cigarettes, alcohol, handguns. Marketing can use fear messages like raising prices, reduced availability. Marketing managers face a host of decisions, from major ones such as what product to make, what features, how many salespersons to hire etc. These questions vary according to marketplaces.
Consider following four markets
•Consumer market: mass consumer goods and services such as soft drinks, toothpaste, air travel etc. •Business Markets: Companies selling business goods and services face weel trained and well informed professional buyers. They buy goods for their utility or to to make or resell a product to others. •Global markets: goods and services for global marketplace . They have to decide which country to enter , how to enter, has to have a fit the cultural practices etc. •Nonprofit and Governmental Markets: goods to nonprofit organizations like churches, universities, governmental agencies need to be priced carefully. They have to follow long government procedures to get this market.

Thread: American Magazines
17-12-2016 #1
Hi Y'all,
I recently saw an advert for 3 American mags, Machinist's Workshop, The Home Shop Machinist and Digital Machinist. It offered free issues of each one, so I sent for them.
Here's my review
Machinist's Workshop - More emphasis on guns than an English magazine, but less of the Model Railway clutter. Adverts are (of course) almost totally irrelevant. Everything in Imperial. The projects are pretty much the same feel as the UK mags. Contents page had articles on making a Cam Lock Tailstock, Rescuing a Drill Press, Upgrading a Rifle &c...
So no surprises there - don't expect to subscribe to that one !
The Home Shop Machinist - Another magazine for people who like to go into boring detail about sod all. Previous comments about Adverts and Imperial apply.
Digital Machinist - Initially, I thought I might subscribe to this one, but after a couple of days the feeling went away. There was an article on building a peristaltic pump, but I have just made one myself. My pump was similar but only used 3D printing, 4 bearings and a few nuts and bolts. Oh and a bit of silicone tube ! There was piece about building a heavy 3 axis CNC router, but the steel frame only had 1 set of supported rails the other two were not
(???) Another article was about Arduinos, but after discussing fairly basic coding and then had a whinge about Chinese Arduino copies and how he had spent hours diagnosing faulty boards. At the price they sell them for, if they are faulty you chuck them and get another one out of the box.
So no sale there for three magazines.
I get all the info and entertainment I need for free from the forum and Internet searches, so why pay for an irrelevant mag. I have even cancelled my sub for the UK 'Model Engineering' because I got bored with the same-iness and endless articles about building steam trains.

I have in the past subscribed to Machinist's Workshop, and Digital Machinist.
I thought Machinist's Workshop was far better than any of the UK equivalents. The variety of articles was far greater, which I found made it more interesting.
Digital Machinist always seemed to be very hit or miss. Some articles were really interesting and good quality, others were of very little interest or poor quality.
As with nearly all these kinds of magazines, the internet has pretty much killed them. It's far easier for people to post their projects online, in a format they like with as many images as they see fit, without having to worry about a limit on images or their size.Avoiding the rubbish customer service from AluminiumWarehouse since July '13.

I am no precision engineer, so my ideal magazine would probably be called 'Furtling and Bodging'.

A Year In My Life Through Pictures Day 1
This is a picture of my beautiful wife Chandra. What else could I have taken a picture of on day 1? Nothing. God has blessed me with my wife, she is His love gift to me. Our relationship has had many ups and many downs, but God used all of them to bring us closer together. Ephesians 5:25 is a very dear verse for me in which God opened up to me when we were going through a relationship valley. The valley which God used to actually bring us closer together as we learned what a real marriage should be, a reflection of Christs love for His church, His bride.
As a husband I was commanded to love Chandra as Christ loves the church. WOW! That is a very tall order, that I fail at miserably. But I discovered that I, as a husband, must give my life for my bride , maybe not in a physical sense but in a dying to self since. I would lay my life down for her physically if ever warranted, but I must lay it down daily as I strive to be more Christlike in my every action. She completes me, she supports me, she is my love and I can not bare to think of life without her.
For those reasons and more my wife, Chandra, is day 1 of my year long journal. She was acting shy for the picture, but she is normally very willing to be photographed. I am sure over the next 364 pictures she will be the focus or participant as well. I love my wife dearly and thank God for her constantly as she is my Lords love gift to me.

The feel that Yuvan Shankar Raja gives through his vocal cannot be explained in words…But that can be experienced through 'The Boys are back' song teaser from 'Chennai 28 II'. There will always be a special welcome for the energetic and powerful duo Yuvan Shankar Raja and Venkat Prabhu from the Audience.
Once again it is proved by the 'The Boys are back' song teaser. The sixty seconds teaser that was released in Doopaadoo and Social Media on 21st August, 2016 is becoming viral, and it is nearing 270K Views. It is a must to say that the lines "Varom Sollu, Thalli Nillu, Machi ithu Namma pitchu Kizichidalam…" from 'The Boys are Back' teaser takes us back to the Chennai 28 ground.
"We are extremely delighted as the exclusive audio partners of Chennai 28 Part 2. The response is overwhelming," says Kauntheya, CEO of Doopadoo, the audio partners of Chennai 28 part 2.

Management: While my opinion of the show is generally positive overall, this essay, by no means, is meant to serve as a comprehensive review, but rather, as an articulation and analysis of some of what I feel is this series' most integral and interesting themes. This essay was made addressing ideas from Episode 11 of Fate/Zero, "The Grail Dialogues." This essay is meant to take the place of a previous essay on the show.
A temporary reprieve from this bloody business called battle is held as the three historically sovereign heroic spirits present in this age's Holy Grail War, Saber, the King of Knights, Rider, the King of Conquerors, and Archer, the King of Heroes, sit down for drink and conversation, the conversation evolving from kingly courtesies to discussions about how each would use the grail to arguments about kingship in general. The centerfold tension of the entire discussion is Rider's opposition to Saber's view on proper kingliness. I'm not going to talk about proper kingliness per se.
The following words aren't meant to answer the question of who is a true king. Saber, Rider, and Archer have different answers based on fundamentally different understandings of the position. They can argue all day without proving the other wrong, because "king" is an artificial, and thus subjective, construct. Rather, from their debate, I'll talk about what the show thinks constitutes a good political leader.
In political science, "power" is defined as the capacity an person, group, or state has to compel another person, group, or state to do something that the latter would otherwise not have done. These parties can do this by exercising their reserves of "hard power" and "soft power."
"Hard power" is the power of force and coercion. "Soft power" is the power of attraction and persuasion. During the action segments of Fate/Zero, hard power among the three servant kings is based, more or less, on the combat abilities they possess and utilize during the show's iteration of the 5th Holy Grail War. During the "The Grail Dialogues," hard power factors heavily in how successful they were as monarchial rulers in their past lives. However, in the absence of being servants in their past lives, with the attendant superhuman physical capabilities and superpower noble phantasms of their present circumstances, they were people that, although skilled as fighters, drew most of the total power they needed to rule, protect, and conquer domains from the armies they commanded.
These armies were not insentient tools that these kings could wield like swords and axes however they please. These armies comprised of sentient men, living people whose allegiances to one liege could be stayed or broken if they so choose. Combined, armies possessed more hard power than these king alone. A king alone is little more, in his sole capacity, than a mere man among many. How does a king alone manage to obtain the allegiance of whole armies to bolster his relatively puny amount of hard power?
Soft power. What about these regal individuals, from their status, spoils, personality, and philosophy, is able to attract and persuade whole armies to bend the knee and buckle their weight for a particular king? It's a combination of things, even in Fate/Zero, but each servant king sharing drink and conversation has his and her own soft power preferences.
Now Fate/Zero, and the Fate series in general, isn't entirely realistic in its portrayal of historical and legendary figures like Arthur Pendragon, Iskandar(Alexander) the Great, or Gilgamesh, least of all the genderbent Arthur, or Arturia. Knowing their history and legends might provide greater appreciation for their characters in the show than what might otherwise be the case, but the show provides, more or less, what you need to understand about these characters to understand their positions. Substitute these three with three other kings with the same character traits that happen to be purely fictional, and their positions on power and kingship wouldn't change.
1. The bulk of Saber's soft power, in life as King Arturia Pendragon, resides in the moral fervor of her ideals. A servant king in both senses of the word in her past life on the British Isles and her current presence in Japan, she stands for justice, fairness, and righteousness. She attracts those vassals that believe in the same.
2. The bulk of Rider's soft power, in life as Iskandar the Great, lies in his relationship with his vassals. He exhibits concern for their personal lives, pays attention to their interests, and celebrates with them when they triumph. Those vassals exhibit concern, pay attention, celebrate, and follow him willingly as a result.
3. The bulk of Archer's soft power, in life as Gilgamesh, lies in the aura of prestige he embodies. His presence exudes the extremes of charisma and confidence, and commands respect and the consequent splay of power. Vassals follow him because they are afraid of him, awed by him, grateful to him when, after loyal service, he would listen and perhaps do a favor for them or two. This splay of power, in turn, bequeaths him even more power.
"The Grail Dialogues," and the notion of a true king in each servant king's eyes is reflective of each servant king's preference of soft power.
However, the philosophical discussion of kingship soon becomes flippant ridicule of Saber's philosophy by Gilgamesh and heated criticism of the same by Rider.
This criticism of words by Rider becomes a criticism of developments as the show progresses, as the fates of each of these three servant kings unfold.
Rider's criticism of Saber is threefold.
1. First involves regret for how she ruled. Rider finds this personally offensive, seeing as how his pride as a king is intimately tied in his pride to his men. Doubting how he ruled would not only a betrayal to himself. It would be betrayal to his dead but loyal vassals, akin to spitting on their graves after they have been pushed into them. He may mourn and grieve for them, but he would not sully his people's sacrifices, whom he considers as important to him. Despite Saber claiming that her people are important, to Rider, she was desecrating their memory. It is a symptom of something problematic in Saber's philosophy.
2. Second involves her blind idealism at the expense of grounded realism. That grounding is based on the relationships, or lack thereof, between Saber and her vassals. In life as king, she attracted some vassals to her cause because of the appeal of her ideals, but those idealists constituted only a fraction of her army's might. The rest of her vassals prioritized other things, wanted other things besides loyalty. Many wanted privileges, riches, reprieves from the heaviness of their obligations duties, the magnanimity expected by loyal subjects from an understanding and generous lord. Saber would have none of it. She wouldn't grant any spoils, because spoils is compromise, and compromise is corruption. She might be willing to live the austerities attached to her ideals herself, but many of her vassals didn't. Not even Lancelot. The interrelationships between her and her non-idealistic vassals suffered.
3. Third involves these aforementioned interrelationships. Rather than repair these interrelationships or even engage with her non-idealistic vassals in even the most basic levels of pleasant social interaction, she neglected them because of her hyper-piety. She alienated them. Their concerns were selfish in her eyes. To them, she could care less if they protested. Rather than abide with their concerns unaddressed and their dignities sullied, they decided to rebel against her. When they got rid of her, they would replace her with a king who would be more willing to listen to them. Saber's idealism created soft power that initially enhanced her hard power by some when idealistic vassals joined her court, but that idealism, turned blind, undercut her hard power by a lot when many aggrieved and self-interested vassals turned traitor.
If competent kings be competent politicians, then she was a no king at all, or, in terms less harshly than Rider, a terrible king in general. She failed to understand and respond accordingly to the people she dedicated herself to, and the price for that was, ironically enough, justice, fairness, righteousness, and the British Isles going up in smoke and fire. This contradiction of living up to ideals for her people and losing her people in the process, compounded by how she dishonored the memory of those who bled and died for her because she was king by declaring that her rule and their lives were for naught, both brought her doom. She is undeserving, in Rider's eyes, of the respect due a sovereign.
Rider provides his philosophy as a counterpoint, with himself as an example: a king that lives for himself. It sounds counterintuitive on the surface, but when a king lives for himself or herself, he or she has the capacity to live and rule for his or her people in the process. If Saber followed a flexible version of Rider's philosophy to govern, then she that would have a better understanding of human nature and realize that people tend to live out of their own self-interest. To maintain her prestige and, thus, power as king, she would know she would have to cater to these self-interests where needed to maintain their favor of her if she wanted to get them to do anything. Her vassals, in turn, would remain loyal to her as their king. She would realize the necessity of engaging actively with her vassals and engage them with the self-interested knowledge of how. Rider and even Gilgamesh were generous to people who were loyal to them while maintaining themselves as the greater of them, and they in turn kept true to their extant loyalties out of respect to a king who embodies majesty to be inspired by and magnanimity to be grateful for. Their soft power promoted, their hard power not only preserved, but enhanced.
Saber might have continued in her past life to advocate nevertheless on behalf of justice, fairness, and righteousness, maintaining her soft power and hard power all the while. She would do it with the notion guiding her that this kind of advocacy is something that she wants to accomplish personally rather than something everyone should simply be forced to swallow by fiat. Following Rider's example, she might be able to convince vassals overtime through active engagement to adopt her views on how to rule as theirs. At that same time, she'd flexible enough to accommodate and compromise with those vassals, less in line with her values, whose service she needs.
So what makes a true king? "The Grail Dialogues" poses this question. However, due to both the fact that different people offer different answers to the inquiry and absolute monarchical style rule has come out of fashion, I think trying to find an objectively correct answer isn't the point. What is important is the thematic lesson of the episode, which is applicable to political leaders in general. The lesson is given context by Rider's positive engagement with Waver Velvet, and Waver's willing submission of loyalty to Rider's service as a consequence; given caution by Saber and Kiritsugu's inability to work well together despite their shared ideals.
However humane its aims, beware the paradox of unbridled idealism.

Review System
Every video game site or blog has their own system and criteria when it comes to reviewing games. When determining how I would be reviewing games here on "The Exclaiming Gamer", I decided to go with a simple, yet elegant system that will allow you to quickly tell how I feel about a game before even reading the review. All scores on the site will be given out on a 1-5 scale as follows:
1 – The game has too many glaring faults to recommend.
2 – The game has a good deal of problems, but some people may still find some enjoyment here.
3 – The game is average and will probably serve you well enough if you are looking for something to play.
4 – The game is above-average and you should definitely consider buying it.
5 – The game is great and if you like games, you should get up from your computer and buy it now.
Now, even though you will clearly be able to tell what I feel about a game from the very start of the review, it will really benefit you to read through the entire written review. It is there where I will make my case for why the game deserves its assigned score. You will be able to see why I think a game is good or bad. The written review will give you the breakdown of the strong and weak points of a game, including its best features and biggest issues.
Remember, at the end of the day, I am trying to help you make good choices with your hard earned money. I know what it is like to get burned on a game and I want to help you cut through the hype and the spin that is all around the Internet so that you can be an educated consumer.

Rochard is a science fiction platform game available for the PlayStation 3 through the PlayStation Network, for Microsoft Windows, Linux and Mac OS X through the Steam online distribution platform, and for Linux as part of the Humble Indie Bundle 6. Developed by Recoil Games, the game revolves around the manipulation of gravity and the use of a G-Lifter, a gravity device used to easily move heavy objects around. The title combines increasingly challenging environmental puzzles with action, humor and a story of rich twists.
The game's launch dates for the PlayStation Network were September 27, 2011 in the US and September 28, 2011 in Europe. The worldwide Steam launch of the Windows version took place on November 15 of the same year.
Rochard is a two-dimensional side-scrolling platformer taking place in three-dimensional scenes. The player character works his way through a series of environments, each containing a mix of puzzle and combat encounters. To overcome these challenges, the player has access to several tools and mechanics that relate to gravity, weight and matter properties.
Players can change the gravity between "normal" earth like gravity and low gravity by holding the L1/LB/Shift button. Controlling the gravity is the key feature of the game and allows the player for example to jump higher in low gravity, alter trajectories of thrown objects, soar in the air flow of a huge ventilation fan in low gravity, do a Recoil Jump, Lift heavy objects in low G, swing on certain objects using the Gravity Beam. Some levels have sections where the gravity is inverted. In some levels the player can invert the gravity by himself.
The player is equipped with the G-Lifter – a modular mining tool hosting various subsystems like remote gravity controller, flashlight, a communication device and the following main features. When the gravity beam mode is selected it allows John to grab and shoot or drop certain objects like crates, explosives containers etc. With the gravity beam John can also manipulate and move certain objects, like big mining lasers, cargo containers etc. After an upgrade the G-Beam is powerful enough to lift John in low G allowing him to dangle and swing from certain objects. All objects which can be manipulated with the gravity beam are highlighted with a white swipe effect on the surface. The player gets to upgrade the gravity beam several times to gain new abilities to it. In addition to the G-Swing the player can use the G-Beam as a weapon against flying droids, automated turrets and even human enemies (respectively).
Force fields block certain objects. There are four types of force fields: Bio force field (red, blocks human characters); Matter force field (blue, blocks inanimate objects); Energy force field (orange, blocks weapon fire and explosions); Omni force field (white, blocks everything).
Fuses are used to control power on certain electrically powered items. The controlled item is attached to a fuse socket with a thick visible cable. The player can control the power on the item by attaching or detaching the fuse to/from the socket. The fuses cannot be physically damaged but they can be disabled temporarily by shooting at them or using explosives on them.
John Rochard, leader of the lowest producing team of astro-miners the Skyrig Corporation ever employed, accidentally discovers an ancient structure hidden deep in an asteroid. Soon afterwards, John's team goes missing without a trace and he finds himself stranded on the asteroid and under attack by space bandits. John quickly realizes that dangerous forces are at work, determined to use the discovery for their own sinister means.
As the supposed reinforcements of his boss Maximillian arrive, it is revealed that they are in league with the space bandits. Fighting his way down through the tunnels to get to his trapped team mates Skyler and Zander. As John reaches them, Zander succumbs to his wounds, sending both Skyler and John on a path to uncover the mystery surrounding their recent find and to avenge their fallen colleague. The ancient structure turns out to be an alien temple, containing Native American glyphs. Unable to read the engravings, John and Skyler decide to head for Floyd, Skyler's uncle, whose Native American roots might help them make sense of it all.
Upon arriving on the seemingly deserted asteroid-based casino, John heads to Floyd's office. It turns out the space bandits have taken over the casino and John has to fight his way to the office which is found vacant. Skyler suggests John to head to the money vault, where Floyd might have barricaded himself. Upon finding Floyd, John is told about an ancient legend of Native American Indians and the Katsina statues that grant its user divine powers. It is revealed that he has to get a decoder disc from his boss's office, located in the Skyrig headquarters, to be able to find the real Katsina temple. John fights his way to meet Skyler in an abandoned hangar, from where they take off to the Skyrig headquarters.
John infiltrates the headquarters using ventilation shafts and other back doors, avoiding security cameras while sneaking his way towards his boss' office. Once presence is noticed, he has to fight his way to the office, where he finds the decoder ring that can be used to decipher the strange writings at the alien temple. John escapes the office and battles his way past sky police and their combat droids to reach a secluded cargo hangar. Skyler picks up John and they head back to the mining asteroid.
The pirates have trashed the place so John decides to take an alternate route to the alien temple. After fighting an army of droids and turrets, John has to use a huge mining laser to get into the alien temple. At the temple he finds out that the decoder ring is actually a power source, which makes the strange markings on the walls glow. A large star map is revealed pointing to the Casino Asteroid they visited earlier. Sky police have found John and Skyler and they get separated. John has to find an alternative way to the hangar. When John gets there he finds Skyler captured by the space police and his ship being blown up. He decides to use an old race bird "Switchblade" to pursue the sky police and Skyler to the casino.
John enters the abandoned part of the casino asteroid, which is an old Skyrig mine. On his way to the second alien temple he finds an old "Helga" G-Lifter, which has old hazardous features still active: it's able to grab human characters and shoots anti-gravity charges which lift objects they attach to. He fights his way to the Katsina temple and finds his boss holding the Katsina statue there. In the ensuing fight, John comes very close to Maximillian. When he is about to defeat his boss, a giant vortex appears devouring first Maximillian, followed by Skyler and John. They are all sucked into another dimension, leaving only an ominously glowing "Helga" G-Lifter behind.
Rochard has been developed using the Unity engine and was launched late September 2011 as the first PlayStation 3 game to use this engine. Unity's multi-platform capabilities also resulted in a speedy follow-up release on Steam on November 15, 2011. Mac version followed in December 2011 on Mac App Store. Linux version was available in Humble Indie Bundle 6 on September 18, 2012.
The game features soundtrack composed by Markus "Captain" Kaarlonen from Poets of the Fall, mixing southern rock/blues and 80′s inspired electronic music, originally composed on Amiga with ProTracker.[2] A special version of the game that includes the full soundtrack in MP3 format was released on Steam alongside the game's regular edition.
Voice actors:
- Jon St. John – John Rochard
- Lani Minella – Skyler Hanson
- Eric Newsome – Zander and Floyd
- Marc Biagi – Maximillian
- Sam Mowry – Skypolice
- Dave Rivas – Skypolice
An expansion pack for the game entitled Rochard: Hard Times was released in March 2013. The downloadable content features four new, extra challenging puzzle levels.[3] The expansion has an emphasis on puzzle-solving as opposed to combat, and the levels were created to be challenging for even the most experienced players.[4] The expansion is, however, not integrated into the story told by the original game.
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (September 2013)
Rochard has received generally favorable reviews for its initial release on PSN, with a Metacritic average score of 79% and a GameRankings average score of 79%. The following Steam release was well received for its solid conversion of the control mechanics to a keyboard and mouse format,[19] standing at a Metacritic average of 82% and a GameRankings average of 82.5%.
Prior to its release, Rochard was awarded "Best of Gamescom 2011" by GamingXP. Following its release, the game has received Editors' Choice awards from IGN, GamePro, Gaming Nexus, GameShark and Pelit and won the Unity Awards for Best Gameplay and Best Graphics at the Unite 2011 event.
GamingOnLinux reviewer Hamish Paul Wilson gave the game 8/10, commenting that "in the end it comes across as what it was probably always meant to be: a fun and competent physics platformer that does not take itself too seriously."[20]

Gold was higher in international trading yesterday, notching as high as $1,337/oz. Of course, this didn't show up in the New York markets, which were closed due to the Labor Day holiday on Monday. When things got back to business as usual on Tuesday, spot gold opened just slightly below unchanged at $1,333/oz.
The spot silver price and platinum price were both essentially flat at $17.90/oz and $1,005/oz, respectively. Palladium advanced better than 1% to $980/oz.
The precious metals will likely continue to respond to safe-haven fears over the escalating rhetoric (and actions) by the Kim regime in North Korea (DPRK). The country allegedly tested what may well have been a hydrogen bomb over the long weekend. Although the Trump administration is working with South Korea to formulate a tougher yet measured response, it's possible that the DPRK could continue to test missiles and other weapons with relative impunity as it progresses toward becoming a nuclear threat.
These increasing tensions on the Korean Peninsula are a looming problem for the entire region, particularly Japan and South Korea—both key U.S. allies. Meanwhile, even China and Russia, who are essentially a two-pronged economic lifeline to the North Koreans, have an interest in not seeing their neighbors engaged in such brinksmanship or, even worse, engulfed in an actual armed conflict in their backyards.
Naturally, bonds rose on Tuesday in response to the growing crisis. The 10-year Treasury yield tumbled lower to 2.11%. The dollar also moved modestly lower, falling below 92.5 on the DXY index. Stocks in the U.S pointed lower, as well, although shares overseas were mixed. After the big dump of economic data last week, attention is once again turning toward more political (and obviously geopolitical) challenges to a continued bull market in risk assets. One of this week's major themes will be a slew of central bank meetings, including the Federal Reserve.
As Texas and the surrounding U.S. Gulf Coast states remain in the early stages of dealing with the devastation brought on by Harvey, another storm—Hurricane Irma, already a category 5 storm—is headed toward Florida. According to a Reuters survey of companies located in Texas, Hurricane Harvey knocked over 4 million barrels of crude oil production a day offline, which represents a loss of roughly 80% of the state's daily output. Texas is the top oil-producing state in the union, accounting for 30% of the entire country's oil refining capacity. With its next-door neighbor Louisiana, these two states represent roughly half of America's total refining capacity.
Given the situation along the Gulf of Mexico, WTI crude was up over 2.5% on Tuesday to $48.50 per barrel. Beyond the local destruction and danger, this hurricane season has also caused gasoline prices to spike across the country.

Last weekend, despite forecasts of persistent rain we headed south of the border to the Lake District (of Keats, Wordsworth, Beatrix Potter & Jane Austen fame apparently) for a spot of camping.
With some Ballardian moments at eerie post-modern truck stops along the way we managed to get our tent set up before the meteorologists were proved correct. We were luckier than our friends who were joining us from London – they didn't arrive until 2 am and in the middle of a downpour.
Our tent was less than 100 % waterproof so we endured a slightly damp evening, including waking up with our shoes in a pool of water. However we had reasonable weather for the rest of the time we were there with low cloud and occasional misty rain adding to the atmosphere.
Testing Claire's footwear (and endurance) to the limit we completed a small circuit around Lake Buttermere at which we were based on the Saturday, after a leisurely breakfast at the local pub. The views were quite beautiful – Scotland with grass, and there were interesting remnants of quarries to investigate.
On Sunday we skipped more walking opting instead for a more leisurely peramble around Keswick the local touristy town including a paddle on the Derwent Water (below) where Claire practiced her rowing technique.
We took the long way home, via small villages and some coastal towns, enjoying the sunshine till 10 pm
