Specter of $50 oil sends price plummeting
Investors fear uptick in drilling in U.S.
U.S. crude plunged Monday in its third-biggest tumble since the oil bust began last summer, spurred by the threat of financial disaster in Greece and China and by 11th-hour international negotiations that could put Iranian crude back on the market.
But for all the potential crises on the world's energy stage, it was signs of a resurgence in U.S. drilling that spooked oil markets the most, abruptly ending two months of stable $60 oil as traders digested signs that oil fields from Texas to North Dakota are producing more than the market needs.
"It's finally dawning on the market that the overwhelming weight of supply growth isn't just going away," said Neil Atkinson, an oil analyst at Lloyd's List Intelligence in London. "The U.S. has been remarkably resilient. All those people who said production would fall off a cliff were proved wrong."
Oil markets did a major recalculation after last week's key energy data showed the United States is putting excess oil in storage again and producers are sending drilling rigs back into the field.
Traders realized the 13-month slump in prices hasn't significantly slowed production and are coming to grips with a potential future of $50 oil, Atkinson said.
The U.S. benchmark oil price fell $4.40, or 7.7 percent, on Monday to $52.53 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, its third-largest one-day decline over that 13-month period. The price was $61.01 on June 23. Brent, the international standard, fell $3.78, or 6.2 percent, to $56.54, its lowest settlement since early April.
For oil traders, troubles mounted outside the United States, as well. In Vienna, delegates from Iran and six Western nations were one day away from today's deadline to strike a deal that would curb Iran's nuclear program in exchange for lifting oil-export sanctions that have kept 700,000 barrels a day of Iranian crude out of circulation.
Greek voters on Sunday rejected a European bailout in a referendum that could mean financial ruin for Greece if it gets kicked out of the European Union.
Investors are worried the financial distress could spread and weaken global demand for oil. But it's likely that in the next few days the country will reach a deal with European leaders who are keen to avoid a financial crisis, said Ted Loch-Temzeklides, a Rice University economist.
And the Chinese government spooked oil markets by pouring billions into its domestic stock market, a sign that the financial engine of the world's second-biggest oil-consuming economy is teetering.
Saudi Arabia and Iraq have put huge amounts of oil into a market already groaning under the weight of a global glut in crude.
"There's been a slew of bearish fundamental elements for the market to chew on," said John Kilduff, an oil analyst and founding partner of Again Capital in New York. "This could set up for a showdown at $50 a barrel again."
A price level that low would derail any possibility of a modest recovery for the U.S. oil industry, which despite keeping production relatively stable, has gutted annual budgets and laid off thousands of workers since the beginning of the year.
"It's a case of volatility in oil prices raising its ugly head again," said Bill Arnold, professor of the practice of energy management at Rice University.
"Were we to move into a $50 world, I think that would be grounds for a loss of optimism that could lead to even more job cuts," Arnold said. "The industry has been through so much over the last nine months. Companies have responded very quickly to the drops. It's not as if you have companies sitting on the sideline waiting to see what will happen."
On Monday, oil equipment maker Technip said it plans to cut about 6,000 jobs, roughly 16 percent of its workforce, as it restructures its businesses. The Paris-based firm, which has its main U.S. offices in Houston, cited "anticipation of an even more challenging environment" and said the moves will save $919 million over the next three years.
"The industry doesn't work at sub-$60 oil prices," said Bill Herbert, an analyst at Simmons & Co. in Houston. "If these prices last for months or quarters, the fallout is going to be significant. … The industry is not going to be able to handle this."
And it's unlikely that capital markets, which propped up cash-strapped oil companies in the first half of the year, will be as sympathetic to U.S. producers when overall output remains too high, he said.
Jesse Thompson, business economist with the Houston branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, predicted an uptick in bankruptcies for small exploration and production companies if oil hovers around $50 a barrel.
The outcome of Iran's negotiations with the five permanent nations of the U.N. Security Council, plus Germany, will play a big role in determining whether oil prices bounce back.
If a deal comes through, Iran probably could release 40 million barrels of crude stored offshore relatively quickly, and analysts say it could add 700,000 barrels a day to the global market in six months to a year.
On Sunday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told reporters that negotiations in Vienna between Iran and the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and Germany have seen "genuine progress."
But, Kerry added, according to a transcript of his remarks, "We are not yet where we need to be on several of the most difficult issues. … (A)t this point, the negotiations could go either way."

Happy- and "GOOD"- Friday! We are celebrating today by welcoming a new sponsor to CTD- Susana's Custom Art and Card Design (SCACD for short.) We are SO glad to have SCACD as a part of #TeamCTD!
Here's a little bit about Susana and how she started her California-based company:
Susana's custom arts came about from a childhood love of art that I packed away when I graduated from high school. I embarked on several careers after college one being a buyer at one of the giant retail companies where I got to incorporate my love of shopping. The hours and travelling were grueling and I ended up leaving after 7 years. I then went on to a large insurance company having several careers within the company the last being Claims Litigation Supervisor. Again I ended up working 12 to 15 hour days and again decided this time, once and for all, to take some time off and figure out what I really wanted to do. Believe it or not some of my best memories at the insurance company had to do with events I put together incorporating my love for art and they were successful. I thought long and hard after I left about what I love doing and it fell back to art and being creative. I ended up buying some art supplies once again and creating and found that people were interested in buying my art. So I thought here's my path and came up with "Follow your heart in art and life" and you will have your happily ever after.
Well, we're glad to have SCACD on board as an advertiser and as a giveaway sponsor. She has generously offered this cool prize pack:

Welcome to the Quantum Photonics Laboratory!
We are an experimental group at RMIT University's School of Engineering. Our research spans from engineering photonic quantum information and communication technologies to studying quantum effects in biological, chemical and physical systems.
QPLab Secures ARC Funding for Centre of Excellence in 2017
The ARC's seven-year budget will support nine new Centres of Excellence, which involve significant collaboration between universities, publicly funded research organisations, other research bodies, governments and businesses.The aim, according to the ARC, is to undertake highly innovative and potentially transformational research with the aim of achieving international standing and a significant advancement of capabilities and knowledge.
RMIT researchers are chief investigators, leading collaboration across multiple universities, in three successful bids. Dr Alberto Peruzzo (School of Engineering) and Dr Nicolas Menicucci (School of Science) have secured funds for a new round of the Centre for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology. This centre will receive $33.7 million to implement quantum processors able to run error corrected algorithms and transfer information across networks with absolute security. The new technology is expected to provide a strategic advantage in a world where information security is of paramount importance.
Self-guided quantum tomography published in Physical Review Letters
In this paper we report on the experimental demonstration of self-guided quantum tomography—a first of its kind iterative method to characterize quantum systems—and show its superior performance and robustness over standard quantum tomography in several photonic one- and two-qubit experiments. Standard quantum tomography requires storing and post-processing data from an exponentially large number of measurements, making this technique inapplicable for quantum states being prepared today. Moreover, it lacks robustness against inevitable statistical noise and measurement errors.
By iteratively learning the quantum state through a stochastic optimization algorithm, self-guided quantum tomography is far more resource efficient—thus can be applied to larger systems—and achieves higher accuracy thanks to its robustness against statistical noise and measurement errors.
Self-guided quantum tomography will likely be soon necessary in quantum experiments where standard quantum tomography is already unfeasible. Applications of the algorithm outside quantum tomography include state preparation and quantum device control. As automation will be critical for future quantum technologies, our demonstration takes an important step towards practical realization of autonomous learning.
Quantum state transfer published in Nature Communications
In an international collaboration between the Quantum Photonics Laboratory at RMIT, the Politecnico di Milano and the South University of Science and Technology of China, we have demonstrated, for the first time the perfect state transfer of an entangled quantum bit (qubit) on an integrated photonic device.
The ability of information transfer is at the heart of every information processing system, from global satellite communication to biological neural networks. Likewise, quantum technologies require high fidelity routing of quantum information between different locations of a quantum processor and quantum communication nodes. Due to the long-standing challenge of preserving extremely fragile quantum correlation, despite numerous theoretical proposals, to date, the perfect state transfer protocol has not been experimentally realized on quantum bits of information. In this work we report the first demonstration of perfect state transfer protocol.
Using the state-of-the-art three-dimensional direct-write waveguide technology, we fabricated an integrated waveguide array with a specific design, showing the capability of high fidelity transfer of quantum states.
We anticipate that our realisation of the perfect state transfer protocol has direct applications in many areas, including quantum transport, quantum simulation, entanglement preparation and distribution, and qubit interconnection for quantum computation. These applications may induce fundamental changes in the way we design the infrastructure of the next-generation quantum information processing devices, saving more space and allowing more automation.

Global North development versus Global South development - campaign informing about interdependence between Global North choices and Global South development
The project was implemented between June and December 2012. Several parts of it took place in the main Polish cities (Warsaw, Krakow, Poznan, Lodz, Szczecin), and the internet-based activities were nationwide. The aim of the project was to raise awareness of the connections between social, political and economic choices of the Global North, and the development of the countries of the Global South.
Varied educational and cultural activities of the project were a good source of information on the topics of global education, and inspired a surge of interest in those issues among the project beneficiaries. The direct recipients of the activities included a broad group of residents of Poland: teachers, students, academics, youth and the elderly people.
As part of the project, 1100 copies of lesson plans for teachers "Global Interdependences. Lesson plans for gymnasium and secondary schools" were published, which are also available in an electronic version (in Polish).
The publication consists of five modules addressing the issues related to the global education (sustainable development, human rights, climate change, responsible consumption, fair trade). E-training via the organisation's website was held, and was attended by 60 teachers. During the process of recruitment, priority was given to the residents of the smaller towns. Web campaign of the project was created. As part of the activities, an electronic mind-map of global dependencies was designed, and it is available on the organisation's website. A multimedia tool Planet RSS of Global Dependencies, that was created as part of the project as well, collects information and news related to the global education. Its purpose is to display mutual connections between the countries of the Global North and the Global South.
Additionally, a cultural and educational event 'A Night for Africa' was held in Warsaw. It included screenings of documentary films, two meetings with the experts, exhibitions and concerts. As part of the project, 5 academic debates were organised in Polish cities, in cooperation with the student academic societies. In total, 251 people attended the debates.
The coordinator of the project estimates that the number of indirect beneficiaries of the project's activities totalled 30,000 people.

Current URL of live chat visitor
In LiveAgent you can see the current webpage of your customer on chat, and you'll also be notified of each page they switch to. This feature is very handy when you are directing your customers to a specific webpage and you want to give them the best information possible, for example regarding pricing or technical details of your product / service.
Each live chat session starts with the information about the customer, where you can see along with many other details, their Start URL. Start URL is the web page, where the live chat was initiated by the customer.
In our example it is the web page https://support.ladesk.com/300428-IVR
As a chat continues, customers can come with potentially more and more questions, and not all of them can be answered from the same page you provided them or without any visual help. In our example the customer needed help with the IVR, since it was the last step to have a fully integrated call center. You can see how they moved through several different knowledge base articles.
In our example, the chat was later joined by another colleague, after a request from the Internal chat (remember, that Internal chat can be started anytime and you even have a chance to leave an offline message for your co-worker).
By knowing the current URL of your live chat visitor, you can provide the best and most accurate support for your customers by seeing how they move between the sub-pages of your own website.

Ruth was given her first camera at 14 and started to photograph everything around her including beautiful sunsets outside her back garden overlooking Brentwood's Thorndon Hall Estate. At school she was an enthusiastic art student and persuaded her parents to let her go on to do an Art foundation course at Thurrock Technical College in Essex.
After completing a degree in Photography, film and video at Westminster University Ruth was commissioned for various shoots by Ludus and Penthouse for Women magazines.Ruth took part in a Russian/British documentary expedition with 5 other English and Russian photographers, where she spent several months in the main cultural capital of St Petersburg.
Ruth photographs gardens and flowers where her inspiration comes from the many beautiful private and public gardens across England, with particular love of the Royal Horticultural Societies Garden in Wisley, Surrey of which she is a member. Orchids are another favourite as she loves the exotic shapes and colours of orchids and she is also a member of the Orchid Society of Great Britain.
"I love photographing flowers and orchids, their beautiful shapes and colours are a feast to my senses, and the peace and enjoyment I receive when photographing and spending many hours in private and public gardens.. I hope you enjoy my photographs as much as I enjoyed taking them."

God bless the internet
You know, when I click on a link that says "bird poop in mouth" I expect it to deliver. That guy is an example of journalism at its finest. Out there on the front lines, braving all the bird shit in the world to tell you about some sort of bird infestation that no one cares about.
Moving on -- The Library of Congress has a flickr stream.
This reviewer uses nearly 3000 words to say Dane Cook sucks. I am officially convinced thatmaking fun of Cook is funnier than the man himself.
Conan vs. Colbert. It's funny because Mike Huckabee's candidacy is a joke.
There was some recession talk earlier this week. It wouldn't be so bad. Honestly, I am looking forward to it. Conservation would become popular out of necessity. I will fucking destroy people in Skip the Pump. But lets be honest, that extra 300 bucks coming from Congress will totally turn the economy around. Or not.
Journalism is all about the drinking. I agree.
In other geek news, we have an open source a video recorder, whose makers are encouraging hackers to go to town on it. I'm not that technically savvy, but hey, gotta start somewhere. I can't wait to watch internet porn on my TV. What a strange and exciting future we live in!
That's it, I gotta go cause I'm totally burgin.

A smiley face and a bullet
Laura Ingraham, who is basically Ann Coulter without the testicles, reports from Iraq:
You wouldn't know it by reading the New York Times, but IED attacks are actually down since December. I headed over to the Iraqi side of the base, where I saw the Iraqi troops being trained, with interpreters on site, of course. The men-about 30 of them-were friendly and seemed dedicated. They also risk their lives just by being part of the new Iraqi security forces-so most didn't want their pictures taken. Their American counterparts seem genuinely fond of these men-and not happy that the whole story is not being told by the "major media." More of the battlefield control is being turned over to the Iraqis later in the spring. "When the Iraqis see one of their own on top of a tank, they seem really proud," said one of the military trainers.(my emphasis)
Then they kill them.
"Thanks for coming here, Laura," Brigade Cmdr. MacWilley said, as he waved goodbye. "How do we get the rest of the country to see the great work these men and women are doing here?" "You just did," I said.
Then the spunky gal gave him a thumbs-up, a toothy grin, and headed back to her hotel room in the heavily fortified Green Zone where she raided the mini-bar and berated the maid for missing last nights turn-down service.
And for those keeping score at home, the tell-the-folks-back-home-what-the-MSM-won't-tell-them anecdote has officially replaced the cabdriver-reaffirming-my-worldview anecdote.
It's the new black.

Wedding cars are an essential part of any bride and groom's big day because it sets the tone for their ceremony. Everyone's wedding is different, and the useful thing about the internet these days is that you don't have to own a classic car to show up in one. There's the option to hire a car for your wedding day, making it even more special. We've picked out some of the best classic cars you can hire for your wedding celebration.
Jaguar Mk2
The Jaguar Mk2 is one of the best cars to use because it's stylish and sleek. It's the embodiment of Sir William Lyons' motto of "grace, pace and space," being a fast and roomy vehicle. The wide windscreen and rear window provides a lot of visibility. This means they'll be plenty of photo opportunities. With the Jag's handling, it's even better if you're the one behind the wheel.
Rolls-Royce Phantom
Few cars match the luxurious feeling of a Rolls-Royce Phantom. From the hood-mounted Spirit of Ecstasy, to the comfortable interior, riding in a Phantom adds a touch of class to the wedding. The Phantom features a 6.7-litre V12 engine with 453 horsepower, giving it power as well as elegance. The interior can be customised to your specifications, making the Phantom an ideal car for your wedding.
Mini Mk1
No car encapsulates Britain like the classic Mini. Compact, stylish and spacious, the Mini is a good choice for any bride and groom set on a traditional British wedding. Compared to other classic cars, it's a lot cheaper to hire and less showy.
Tuk Tuk
Are you planning to have an unconventional wedding? You could go for something out of the ordinary by hiring a Tuk Tuk or Rickshaw as they are more commonly known. The Tuk Tuk is a three-wheeled vehicle that can be driven across country, depending on whether you're getting married at a church, farmhouse or old manor home. The Tuk Tuk is even more effective if you're getting married in another country.
Austin-Healey 3000
The Austin-Healey 3000 is a sporty car with a history of racing victories in Europe. It has the kind of prestigious reputation that's perfect for a wedding. With a long bonnet, shiny wheels and powerful engine, the Healey 3000 is a wonderful vehicle to hire, and it's sure to make your special day even more memorable.

The avalanche in the Yukon kept me there longer than planned. We called off the backpacking expedition when we heard about the missing people. We returned to the dogsleds and mushed to the scene to offer assistance. All of those missing were found and are well. Trailiac hasn't published an article since last month because of our delay in the Great White North. Well, I wish the reason for delayed articles was so noble. To be frank, my focus on Trailiac during the past few weeks has been on refining the Trailiac Youtube channel.
Until recently, I viewed the Trailiac Youtube channel strictly as a hosting platform for videos on Trailiac.com. The videos reside on the Trailiac's Youtube channel. Trailiac's videos page and videos within articles simply reference the Trailiac Youtube channel.
A recent literature search and online discussions have convinced me that Trailiac's Youtube channel could be much more.
Some stories are better told as movies than books. I've tried reading The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper. The movie (1992 version) is easier to digest. I believe the James Bond movies are more enjoyable to watch than Ian Fleming's books are to read. Some stories are simply better watched than read.
Some of the recent changes to the Trailiac Youtube channel include the following:

The Holiday Season is full of wonderful stories and legends, many of which may warm your heart during the coldest part of the year. Jumbled right there in the middle somewhere is a tonne of urban legends and myths that many people still pass along as facts. Below is a quick list of myths about Christmas (and the holiday season in general) that you might not know aren't any more real than You-Know-Who.
5. The 12 Days of Christmas is a Secret Code-Word Song.
During the 16th to 19th centuries in England, it was prohibited by law to be a Catholic. It's from this point in history that we get the myth of the origin of "The Twelve Days." The legend has it that each of the presents in the song represents something from The Bible and Christian theology. The "two turtle doves" represent the Old and New Testament, the "partridge" is Jesus himself, and so on. The legend has it that the song was taught as code to Christians everywhere, as they were not permitted to have written Christian literature. But that itself is a myth in that the Anglicans, who banned Catholicism for those 270 years in England, practiced all of the tenants of Christianity found in the supposed codes.
Mostly, however, the myth makes no sense because none of the "Codes" really line up with what they are supposed to represent. Do five gold rings really make you remember the first five books of the Old Testament? Also, if practicing Christianity were illegal in parts of the world, wouldn't Christmas songs be illegal, as well? In truth, "Twelve Days.." is just a silly song about gifts during the Christmas Holiday, just like it sounds.
4. Santa Claus' Image Was Invented By Coca-Cola.
These days, the Coca-Cola Company's Santa Claus ads and commercials are every bit as a tradition as the jolly ol' fat man himself. So much so that many people now insist that Coke actually invented the image of Claus as we know it, including the red and white uniform worn by Mr. Kringle, coincidentally the same colors used by Coke itself. Originally a marketing gimmick to get people to buy more Coke in the wintertime, Coke's Santa came to popularity in the 1930s. By that time, the red-and-white Santa had already been depicted by numerous artists in magazine and ads dating back to the turn of the century. Political cartoonist Thomas Nast drew one of the first depictions of Claus as a rotund man in 1863. Before that, Claus was usually depicted as being tall and thin. For many years, Santa was drawn however the artist in question liked, often as an elf. Yes, the Coke Santa endures to this day, although that depiction likely owes as much thanks to Norman Rockwell as it does to America's favorite soft drink.
3. "Xmas" is an Attempt to Take "Christ" out of "Christmas".
Every year people send around angry letters, petitions, emails, articles, blogs, and candy-grams about how angry they are at where the Christmas season is going. People decry anger at those who are "taking 'Christ' out of 'Christmas'" and attempting to completely do away with the religious aspects of Christmas Day. People accuse others of "X-ing out" Christ from His own holiday. In actuality, using an "X" in the term "Xmas" is not a new thing being used by non-Christians as a means to disrespect the religious holiday. The term "Xmas" dates back as far as Christianity. The "X" comes from the Roman alphabet symbol for the Greek letter "Chi," which was of course used in the word "Christ." In fact, for centuries, people have written "Xian" when referring to Christians. "Xmas" is used neither out of disrespect nor to take any religious aspects of Christmas out of the word or holiday. The word is usually used simply as an abbreviation. With text messaging and thumb-typing becoming the norm, it's an abbreviation that's likely to stick around for a bit, just like Christmas itself.
2. Suicide Rates Jump During The Holidays.
While the holidays are so joyful for millions of people every single year, there are also millions of people who get depressed during this time of year. So it goes that so many people cannot stand all that cheer around them while they are lonely and therefore suicide rates spike every holiday season.
In fact, the suicide rates tend to be lower during the holiday season than they are during most other points of the year. Even lonely people find themselves surrounded by festivities and other distractions during the season that keep their depression on hold. More people reach out to lost relatives and friends and co-workers during this season than most. As it turns out, the suicide rates are higher after New Year's than they are before, but this is mostly due to post-holiday depression and the reality of returning to work and life in the "Real World." Post-Christmas Depression more real than the supposed surge in Christmas-related suicides every year.
1. Boxing Day is About Punching People in The Face.
Ah, Boxing Day. It's a special time in Canada and The U.K. when people get together and knock each other around, trying to smash their fists into the faces of their loved ones and co-workers. OK, so no one really thinks that Boxing Day has anything to do with being a pugilist. But there is much debate over what it originally was all about. While no one really knows how far Boxing Day goes back or what it's actual origins are, the day has become synonymous with being a day of giving to others. Consider it "Christmas II," if you will.
Some say it dates back to wealthy business owners giving "boxes" of gifts to their employees, masters giving their servants a day off after Christmas, or even churches opening their "boxes" and giving money to the poor. Likely, it's all of these things. These days, it's mostly a very commercial holiday, sometimes boasting sales just as impressive as the American "Black Friday" shopping extravaganza.
There are as many myths about the Christmas season as there are facts. These are simply five of them and now you can debunk anyone who tries to tell you otherwise. If you forget, just remember the number 5. "5 Golden Myths" is a great song you can sing and pass along to your children for years to come, just in case telling the truth about myths is ever outlawed.

Big data is changing the travel and hospitality industries positively. From the accommodations to the experiences upon arrival, big data is producing some significant changes. Big data has been in the travel and hospitality industry over the last few years. More developments can be expected in the future.Travel brands use big data to offer their customers the best.
Better Pricing Strategies
In the case of travelers, one of the most important aspects is the price of the hospitality products. They can choose an accommodation just because of its better price. This is why travel professionals can use big data to create better pricing options.
Check out websites as an example of how this works. Notice how the website features a list of different independent hotels and includes variable pricing on the screen. Online travel agencies use big data and analytics to draw real-time prices from the various hotels, based on timing, demand, and seasonal factors. The result is a lower price for customers.
Enhanced Customer Experiences
Online travel agencies have long invested in attempts to personalize customer experiences so that guests enjoy their stays and return in the future. The competitive advantage in today's hotel industry is driven more by the ability to anticipate and proactively meet the needs of customers; a skill that can only be exercised through data analytics. In other words, big data allows OTAs to move from being reactionary to proactive.
Big Data Means Big Change
Travel orıfesionals believe in the positive influence of big data on the travel industry. Every travel professional in the industry has to access to relevant data for better decision making and more seamless experiences.

President Trump's Hollywood Walk of Fame star smashed with a pickax
Here's your Delaware weather forecast for July 25 and the next few days. 7/25/18 Damian Giletto/The News Journal
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A vandal has destroyed President Donald Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Los Angeles police Officer Ray Brown says the vandalism was reported around 3:30 a.m. Wednesday and someone was subsequently taken into custody. Brown did not have any further information about the person.
Brown says a pickax was used in the vandalism.
The star placed on Hollywood Boulevard near Highland Avenue in 2007 recognizes Trump for his work on the reality show "The Apprentice."
Trump's star was previously vandalized by a man swinging a sledgehammer and pickax days before the November 2016 election.
With Delaware soybeans farmers in the crosshairs of a trade war, their support for Trump is tested, persists
Trump says Joe Biden is his "dream" Democratic opponent in the 2020 election

¾ Sleeve Cable Sweater
Style #: MYRN3869
Additional Information
A chunky, cable-knit sweater is an essential in any fall or winter wardrobe, and ours is just the one you need. NYDJ's Three-Quarter Sleeve Cable Sweater gives you classic, cable-knit styling with a feminine, flattering fit. Three-quarter-length sleeves and a slight mock neck add a contemporary feel.
Fabric & Materials
- 100% Cotton
- Imported
¾ Sleeve Cable Sweater is rated out of 5 by 2.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Ginny D from Size XS has a 43-inch chest! I admired this sweater for some time and finally ordered on Black Friday. I'm usually a size 2-4 and ordered XS. Imagine my surprise when it arrived and is wider than it is long! 21-1/2 inches across the front, armpit to armpit, and 20-3/4 from shoulder seam to hem. It fits like a burlap sack. What size were the models in the pictures wearing? Did they all have clips on the back holding in the excess material when the photos were taken? I measured other similar sweaters I own and the chest measurements are more like 35-36 inches. Aside from that, it's beautiful and I'm considering swapping for XXS, but I don't expect one size smaller to help much. It's really a shame.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Alexandra from Exactly what I wanted I ordered this sweater when it went on sale on Black Friday. Although I am not sure it is worth full price, as sweaters are not that special or rare, I am thrilled with it for the discount. I am tall, top-heavy, big-shouldered, and have T-Rex arms, so this is perfect for my shape. I can see how this might not look right on someone who is much thinner, though. It is somewhat boxy, but is perfect with leggings, and the sleeves being 3/4 length eliminate the need to roll them up. I wear size Medium, and this is true to size. My usual size in NYDJ is a 6.

For the Love of Rocks: a past and present love affair
When I was a very young child, I played with rocks like other kids may have played with Fisher Price toys. My Nana and I ran successful restaurants out of her dining room, serving my Pap delicious dishes made up of differently colored, sometimes hand painted, rocks. Together, we taught "school" to classrooms full of rocks and played "store" by selling rocks as produce, meat and various dry and canned goods. As cliche as it is, sometimes those rocks even acted as my pets.
As I got a little older, my attention turned to rocks that were more sparkly. My dad and I would explore land around family properties in Indiana, Illinois and Missouri; and parks, streams, rivers, waterfalls, etc in search of smooth river rocks, fossils, arrowheads, geodes and anything else interesting or shiny. The occasional find of a fully intact geode was like hitting the jackpot! And when we brought them home, I got to do the honors of cracking them open, when I could. I would admire what was inside and find the rock a lovely home in our backyard garden or in my bedroom.
As a pre-teen and teenager, my interest turned to crystals and gemstones. I would stop in rock, bead and new age stores in every city or town I visited and look for interesting crystals, stones or jewelry. I developed an obsession for all things hematite. At the time, I had no idea of the magical, healing properties of hematite. I just felt drawn to it and loved the look and feel of it. Looking back, it was a really great stone for a teen girl to cherish as hematite is known for its grounding energy and promotes self-confidence and courage in women. Throughout high school and most of college, I wore beaded bracelets made from onyx, hematite, turquoise and rose quartz because they gave me a sense of strength and security.
Fast forward to 2014, when a lovely new store opened in my city that carries a thoughtfully curated collection of objects the shopkeeper has picked up on her adventures throughout the United States. The inventory ranges from cozy vintage sweaters to hand-carved wooden trinket boxes, animal skulls to locally made candles to what really drew me in - crystals, feathers and tarot cards. When I first entered this store, I felt I had found my retail soul sister. The crystals were selected and purchased from a man who had recently traded a life in corporate America for an enchanted life of selling crystals and imparting wisdom on the Venice Beach Boardwalk. They were carefully displayed in vintage dishes with handwritten cards explaining the healing properties of each stone. To say my first visit to El Dorado General Store reignited my passion for crystals and stones was an understatement.
Over the last year, my interest in the energy emitted by stones, crystals and rocks has been renewed and I've found myself searching for a deeper understanding of how each stone I collect can help me or others. It was because of this interest that I signed up for a Crystal Healing workshop with local energy healer extraordinaire, Sue Burton Hidalgo. Though this workshop was brief, it gave me a great foundation on which to build my knowledge of how to use stones and crystals to align the chakras and heal the body and mind. It also introduced me to the Energy Balancing Institute, where I plan to obtain my certificate in Crystal Healing once I've completed my Nutritional Therapy program. I look forward to delving further into this field and being able to offer this method of healing to future clients.

Workplace Stress: The Health Epidemic of the 21st Century
It's no surprise that workplace stress is a bigger problem today than even 10-years ago. In the 1990's the term work-life balance was coined to describe the solution for being able to "have it all" and manage it with ease. Time management courses popped up all over Corporate America in effort to help people balance their family, career, health and social life; promising a golden solution via setting priorities, maintaining a schedule and creating time boundaries. People everywhere jumped at the chance to bring solace to their life by way of this new buzzword, but rather than balance many found themselves taking on more and feeling greater pressure to perform better in all areas of life. The result...more stress. Read more on Huffpost

The American Workplace Is Broken. Here's How We Can Start Fixing It.
Americans are working longer and harder hours than ever before. Eighty-three percent of workers say they're stressed about their jobs, nearly 50 percent say work-related stress is interfering with their sleep, and 60 percent use their smartphones to check in with work outside of normal working hours. It's no wonder that only 13 percent of employees worldwide feel engaged in their occupation.

Blackburn Rovers are pleased to announce that goalkeeper Jake Kean has committed his future to the club.
The highly-rated England Under-20 international has signed a two-year extension to his current contract, which will keep him at Ewood Park until June 2016.
Jake, 21, joined Rovers from Derby County towards the end of the 2008-09 season after impressing on trial.
After rising through the ranks at Rovers, he enjoyed a hugely successful loan spell with Hartlepool in 2010-11, before gaining further first team experience with Rochdale last term.
Jake made his Premier League debut against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on the final day of last season, taking plenty of plaudits for his performance, and made his second Rovers appearance away to MK Dons in the Capital One Cup this August.
He has been Rovers' second-choice keeper for every Championship fixture this season and is relishing a return to Pride Park this weekend.

Ahmed Aims Higher After Spectacular Derby Winner
Ahmed Ahmad is optimistic that he will continue repaying Francis Kimanzi's faith in him after scoring the crucial winner in the 2-1 win over Kariobangi Sharks at the Kasarani Stadium on Sunday.
The youngster expertly tuck his freekick into the top left corner past a full stretch Gad Matthews to end an eight match winless run and hand Mathare United the bragging rights in the Slum Derby.
Ahmed Ahmad takes the freekick that bore the winning goal against Kariobangi Sharks.
"I have been working on set pieces in training and I was confident it would go in. I saw the keeper was wrongly positioned so he had no chance reaching the top corner. It feels good to be on the score sheet again and I want to thank coaches who have shown confidence in me," said Ahmed.
That goal took his tally to three this season and he is aiming for more having nailed a regular starting place in the team.
Ahmed Ahmad and Chrispin Oduor hydrate as they receive instructions from assitant coach Salim Ali on the touchline.
"I have been working hard to break into the first team and with more game time I think I can surpass my earlier target of five goals. It's all about consistency and working hard in training," added a sanguine Ahmed.
Ahmed has made the departure of Edward Seda in June a distant memory with his series of barnstorming performances at the middle of the park making him a darling of the fans.

When we heard that Tesselaar were having a new flower festival in Autumn, we were very excited! We absolutely loved visiting the Tesselaar Tulip Festival in 2016 (you can read our review of that event here) so we couldn't wait to see this new and colourful festival of flowers.
Tesselaar's KaBloom Festival builds on the history and blooming bonanza in autumn, showcasing over 130,000 plants across 140 garden beds. Held on Tesselaar's flower farm in the magical Dandenong Ranges with breathtaking views - and selfie opportunities abound - KaBloom is an explosion of colour in nature, with over 1.2 million flowers in bloom across five acres of garden.
We timed our visit to KaBloom to coincide with Family Fun Days (Tues 3rd - Fri 6th & Mon 9th - Fri 13th April) with free entry for all children plus extra kid-friendly activities and a host of children's entertainers.
Here is a list of our highlights:
- Tractor Rides
Departing from Tulip Station, a ride in a carriage behind a shiny red tractor was definitely one of the poppets favourite things about the day. They loved travelling through the colourful fields and spotting different things that they could see. Tractor rides are perfect for those who don't wish to walk to the bottom of the fields too. $5pp/$15 family of 4.
- Flower Maze
Get lost amongst the petunias in this gorgeous flower maze which is ideal for children. Due to restricted access to the main garden beds this year, the maze offers a fantastic opportunity for little ones to get amongst the flowers.
- Face Painting
Visit the face painting tent and choose from a huge selection of face painting designs. We left with a scary tiger and a sparkly bunny. Super cute! $10pp
- Story Telling
Join Tesselaar's resident fairy in the fairy garden for a special story time. Little ones will love hearing her tales of meeting the Easter Bunny and throwing special fairy dust into the wishing well. Be sure to play in the cubby houses and look out for the secret fairy doors in the gnome garden.
* Petting Zoo
Animals on the Move petting zoo always offer a fantastic interactive environment for children. You can cuddle a bunny or guinea pig, feed a pig, pat a cow or do as Master Arlo did and kiss a goat!
- Live Entertainment
There is fantastic, live family entertainment on every day during Family Fun Days including Ruby Ray & The Funky Monkeys, The Kazoos, Ruccis Circus and The Trash Test Dummies. The poppets enjoyed participating in a fun and interactive African drumming workshop with the team from Full Circle Drumming.
KaBloom is a fantastic addition to the Tesselaar's calendar and an absolutely magical place that is perfect to experience with your family. Whether you just wander amongst the gardens and soak in the beauty of the grounds or if you want to enjoy the additional themed activities, attractions and live music on offer during the rest of the season, I highly recommend you visiting Tesselaar's KaBloom Festival.
Our tips:
- Don't forget your camera!
- No matter what the weather forecast, pack gumboots (as it's quite muddy underfoot close to the fields), a change of clothes for the little ones + a hat and sunscreen!
- Pre-purchase your tickets online to avoid the queues. Make sure you print them off at home as mobile tickets will not be accepted.
- Bring extra cash as some of the activities incur a small fee.
- This event is pram friendly, however I wouldn't recommend taking your pram into the fields but there is ample pram parking available around the grounds. The farm is on a bit of a slope, so be sure to hold on tight and use the break when parked!
- There is a designated baby change and feeding area opposite the information centre.
- Bring a picnic to enjoy in the gardens or in one of the many designated picnic areas. There is a large range of food options at festival prices available on site. On the day we visited we didn't encounter any queues, however with such a delicious selection you may encounter long queues during busy times.

Music Pick of the Week/
Dan Deacon
Glass Riffer
Year of Release: 2015
Dan Deacon, that cheeky purveyor of ADD-imbued digital wankery, is at it again with Glass Riffer; an album that takes a more cohesively pop-oriented approach than anything he's attempted yet. Forgoing the orchestral flourishes found on 2012's ambitious America for the more processed knob-twiddling of some of his older work, Gliss Riffer is at once familiar and entirely novel. Lyrically, Deacon has never been that interested in bearing his soul, choosing instead to hide his voice behind vocoder effects and chipmunks-style pitch-shifting, and while there's plenty of warped vocals on tracks like "When I Was Done Dying" and "Meme Generator", there's an emotional honesty that marks a real forward step in terms of maturity. Sure, the electronic overhaul we've come to expect from him is here in full force here; from sequenced beats, strange noises, vintage keyboard washes, and high-pitched vocals, but there's less winking going on. In a way, Glass Riffer marks a step away from the more vast soundscapes of America, returning Deacon to where he belongs; inside a fog-drenched, strobe-lit dance floor for epileptics.

This presidential election brought up the memory of a question in the study guide for the old SAT test. It was a sentence-completion question, the kind where you fill in the blank with, more often than not, some obscure word you wouldn't find in the vocabulary of most adults, let alone the average teenager.
This particular question was the last of the section, which indicates the highest level of difficulty. And indeed it was. I'd estimate that at least four out of every five students eliminated without hesitation the correct answer: discriminating.
It was a question about a chili contest and how the judges were able to note "subtle differences between dishes that most people would not detect." But it was often the first answer choice that students eliminated—it obviously had nothing to do with acting out of prejudice toward others, those eighty-ish percent would point out.
At one stage, while explaining the original definition of the word "discriminate," I went to dictionary to look up the roots. Somewhere along the line, the word had popped out of our English word "discern," which came from the Latin discernere, from dis- ("apart") and cernere ("to separate"). Picking apart, observing subtle differences—there's another, all-too-familiar name for that: critical thinking.
I remembered the SAT question not because of the rampant discrimination (in the negative sense) through the many long months of the campaign, but more so because of the alarming lack of positive discrimination when it came to the facts. I'm enough of a realist to know that all politicians sometimes spin the truth, bend the facts or outrightly lie (as we all do on occasion). But what is staggering to me is how the people of this country opened the White House doors to a president-elect with such utter disregard for truthfulness.
I understand that he and his team figured out how to use misinformation to ride a wave formed from powerful emotional undercurrents in the country. I can also sympathize with the urge to act irrationally out of anger, fear or frustration. But what common ground do we have in this free, democratic society if not an allegiance to discerning the truth from the information we have available—as muddy and complicated as that process can often be?
Without rationality, how can democratic debate exist? Without factual accuracy, how can we determine the needs of Americans who feel forgotten—let alone enact and enforce policies to address those needs? Where is there earth solid enough for us to stand upon together if objective truth is no longer one of the values we share?
We all have lessons to learn. They're about restoring respect.
First, especially for all the smart people out there, it's a sense of respect for the tremendous power of human emotions—starting with your own. Emotion trumps reason every time (and puns that gross aren't easily forgotten). Only by taking your own emotional temperature can you tell when a fever is coming on. People with a fever don't act; they react. Thought goes out the window, instincts take over, and trouble begins. There's no control and certainly no appealing to reason at that point.
When you're in tune with your own feelings and the way they color your view of the world, you can start to tune into others' and discern who's too feverish to listen, who might be soothed back to reason, and who has the same receptivity you do.
Then, out of respect for knowledge and intellect, rebuild your world view from the ground up. Start with the good discrimination—the kind that sifts reliable data, facts and objective observations out of personal biases, competing interests and misinformation. Don't feed preconceived notions or simply reinforce the beliefs passed on to you by family, friends or even your teachers. Question everything, and dig until you find solid ground within yourself, in light of the facts and your own experience.
Learn how to determine which sources of information are reliable; call out the nonsense when you see it. Check your facts, strive for the truth, and inspire others to do the same. Your opinion does matter, and every person's opinion deserves a place in the world—as long as it's founded upon respect for human dignity.
Understand that if your views are anchored in conviction, carefully reasoned and well communicated, they'll resonate with more people—if they're listening. While you cannot satisfy everyone, but know that if you engage both emotion and reason, you can learn to make more people listen.
Want to make a difference in the world? Practice the art of discrimination—for good—and make it a cornerstone of your education.

Artemis is a white cat who can talk and has a crescent moon on his forehead. He is Sailor Venus's companion, and the one who gave her the transformation pen.
Artemis's first actual appearance was in Episode 29, Sailor V Makes the Scene, alongside Sailor Venus. In Episode 33, however, it is revealed that he is Central Control, who, previously, was telling Luna all about the news related to the Negaverse or Sailor Scouts, through the Sailor V Video Challenge game in the arcade.
Back in the Moon Kingdom, Artemis was sent into the future along with Luna to make sure the Sailor Scouts awakened should the Negaverse return.
Artemis and Luna were nearly killed by Malachite, but the Sailor Scouts arrived in time, and Sailor Moon finally destroyed Malachite.
In Sailor Moon R, they attempted to fight off Cardian Vampeal themselves before reawakening the Sailor Scouts, who lost their memories after the fight with Queen Beryl.
In Sailor Moon Super S, it is revealed that Artemis and Luna will get married in the future and have a kitten named Diana, who travels into the past as Rini's companion.
- Artemis looks similar to Meowth from Pokemon.


text: I strive for an emotional honesty in my images. I think it is that subtle tug in the soul that draws a viewer to a picture. I focus on certain objects that relate to a personal narrative. I draw this from either my own memories and experiences or from listening to conversations that may hint on a meaning that I can relate to it. Sometimes, I just follow my instincts and I take the picture anyway. It is gratifying to know if later on, a personal story is revealed.

India hasn't been one to shy away from the fashion scenario. On the contrary, Indian nuances, right from the customary kohl to the common bindi, have been making a mark on the global fashion map. While fashion is about new and updated trends, it is also about redefining discipline to accommodate beauty in every man and woman while keeping their quirks in mind. The Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2016 has done just this. Here are a few highlights that truly stole the show.
1. Being a mother is being beautiful
The Winter/Festive season of LFW 2016 made history as all eyes were drawn towards Sabyasachi's choice of showstopper. An expecting Kareena Kapoor walked the ramp beaming with maternal glow and a precious baby bump. Needless to say, she looked stunning in the exquisite grey lehenga with a heavily-embroidered kurta pattern. (Image Credits: www.samloves.com)
2. The bigger, the better.
It's not just that size zero is out the window. Rather, it's being replaced by plus sizes. Brand 'aLL' displayed a high-street range with plus-sized models who walked the ramp showing that both beauty and fashion are skin deep. The collection was curated and styled by India's leading milliner, Little Shilpa. Image Credits: (www.vogue.in)
3. Why should girls have all the fun?
Whoever thought that well-fitted clothes and make-up were a women's trait couldn't be more mistaken. Gaurav Khanijo, Lakme Fashion Week's Gen-Next designer, presented his collection – Morpheus, which consists aesthetically-cut silhouettes with engineered embroidery techniques. It's no surprise if we spot more 'man-buns', beards, and an urban-chic style trending with the men-folk hereafter. (Image Credits: www.virtuefy.com)
4. The right shade
The latest makeup trends from the ramp were fresh, young and largely minimal. LFW Makeup Expert, Donald Simrock chose earthy shades across the cheeks followed by highlighting the eyes with bronze and metallic hues. We also spotted dark and smoky winged eyes, hair-dos that ranged from being simple to a messy tease, and reverse lip-pigment shades of golden. (Image Credits: www.weddingsutra.com)
5. No Bar
Lakme Fashion Week discarded stereotypes well before the Winter/Festive week 2016. The National Handloom Day on August 7th was celebrated with photoshoots of leading transgender classical dancers dressed in labels such as Raw Mango by Sanjay Garg, and Anavila and Anuradha Pegu. The collection highlighted the importance of sustainable fashion, but beyond that it also efficiently stated that fashion can have no bar, not even based on genders. (Image Credits: www.indianexpress.com)
Simply put, there is no right or wrong in fashion. It's what makes you feel better, inside-out.
Now repeat after Coco Chanel
"I don't do fashion. I am fashion!"

According to E! Online FOX is getting ready to roll out a 24/7 Reality TV network. I find this ironic coming on the heels of my recent post wondering if Reality TV is on its way out.
Even funnier is the fact that (at least for now) programming will consist of nothing but reruns. Sure, that works for TV Land, but I can watch old episodes of I Love Lucy or The Dick Van Dyke Show over and over and they're still funnier than 95% of the sitcoms on TV today. But reruns of reality shows?
Apparently they'll spice things up with behind the scenes footage and "expert" commentary. What the heck is a Reality TV expert, anyway? Sounds like a terrible job.
If you're one of the unlucky ones, you'll be able to begin watching this on May 24th.

Things Take Time.
Most people I meet have TOTALLY unrealistic expectations on time.
If you move to Nashville or LA or wherever and are not fully committed to give 10 years of full on hustling to your artist career or business, you friend might as well not even start that project.
It took me a good 7 years of trying different things in Nashville before I really found MY thing and another year before my company made a cent! And even with all the growth of my company, I'm still eating beans and rice.
Things take TIMMMEEEEEEE.
If you are going to complain, don't make it about how long it's taking. Most of you are still in your 20s...
So get back to work!

Close to our hearts here at Whitening Lightning is Wednesday's Child, which nationwide has helped find adoptive homes for more than 2000 children in foster care. Sponsored by the Freddie Mac Foundation, Wednesday's child focuses on adoption by finding permanent, loving, adoptive families for children in foster care.
What happens when orphaned babies grow up without connecting with their forever families, or children in foster care grow up? They still need support and guidance. Through Wednesday's Child, families already approved to adopt as well as families new to adoption can express interest in a particular child or receive an information packet for families (includes a list of adoption agencies in your local state) by filling out an interest form, http://wednesdayschild.adopt.org/interest
Wednesday's Child recently celebrated its 20th anniversary in the Washington D.C. region, where the program first began.
Santa Clarita Valley, CA innovator, Jennifer Gerard, launched Whitening Lightning as a mobile teeth whitening service in Los Angeles, California in 2010. It has caught on with both the general public and celebs. To learn more about products, please visit http://www.whiteninglightning.com/
