Funding for Australian start-ups remained strong in 2017 as it went up by 1.4 per cent to hit US$555.63 million, according to the 2017 Q4 Venture Pulse, a quarterly report of KPMG International on global venture capital investment.
Venture Pulse reported that the Australian venture capital (VC) scene still saw plenty of venture capital funding invested even as fewer fundings were made in Q4 2017 at 135, compared to 185 closed in Q4 2016. This is attributed to some significantly-sized deals that were closed during the period, such as the $30 million funding of IRExchange, $25.72 million in Airtasker and $19.5 million in Spaceship. The report also noted that the said decline is more a temporal aberration than any more serious factor at play.
Amanda Price, Head of KPMG High Growth Ventures, said, "Australia's start-up investment scene has rapidly matured, with professional VC firms raising and deploying increasing levels of capital over the past few years. The speed of growth has been coupled with an evolution in how investors approach start-up ventures, with a shift towards pre- and post-series A funding.
"At the same time, we are seeing increasingly sophisticated Australian start-ups scaling on the global stage. With seed and angel funding still a vital part of our start-up ecosystem, we are hopeful that the decline in deal number is a temporary shift rather than a major structural change in the VC market," Ms Price added.
VC investment also rose globally, with $46 billion in startups during Q4 2017, with VC investment in the Asia-Pacific region reached an annual high of more than $48B last year.
The report expressed optimism that the global VC market will remain strong this first quarter of 2018, although the declining number of deals could pose some challenges ahead. Areas like healthtech, biotech and autotech are expected to continue to grow at a rapid pace, while artificial intelligence across industries will likely help drive significant investment rounds. Newer areas like foodtech and agtech are also expected to gain traction as well.
Ms Price noted, "The applicability of innovative technologies, whether AI and machine learning or blockchain, to different sectors will likely keep investors focused and investment high regardless of any pauses among specific industries. With many Australian VCs continuing to deploy capital and more funds being raised, we expect 2018 to continue to see strong activity in start-up funding."

Windows Vista Ultimate users have Dreamscene which brings video screensavers to their operating systems. Several hacked versions of Dreamscene have been published that can be installed on other Vista editions as well but not on Windows XP.
Microsoft however released a video screensaver for XP in 2005 which makes me wonder why they limited Dreamscene to Vista Ultimate only. Well, I'm not really pondering about that considering that Ultimate's price demands that it offers features that other versions of Vista do not offer.
The Microsoft Video Screensaver should work on all versions of Windows XP and includes one video from Microsoft. You can choose to use one or more of the videos located on your computer instead. You do this by pointing to a folder in which at least one video of a supported format is stored.
The video screensaver seems to support more than just wmv files. I was able to successfully load avi videos for instance.
If more than one video is found they will be played in sequential order with the option to randomize playback order if you like. It takes a few seconds to load larger video files but small ones play instantly. Microsoft Video Screensaver offers two more options. One is to play the video in full screen mode and the other is to mute the sound.
The download requires a check if the operating system is a genuine one.
The download on the Microsoft website is no longer available. We have uploaded the last released version to our own download server for archiving purposes. Please note that we don't support the program in any way. You can download it with a click on the following link: Microsoft Powertoys
This one seems to ship without the default video from Microsoft and does not check the validation during download. I'm not sure if checks are made during installation as well.
Update: Note that the program is only compatible with Windows XP and no other version of the Microsoft operating system. I personally suggest that you turn off the monitor whenever you keep the computer running but are not actively using it. The video screensaver may however be an interesting option for shops and other business locations where a black screen is not the most appropriate option.

Hurricanes Irma and Harvey blew across the labor market, as employers shed 33,000 jobs in September. Yes, it was the first negative reading on payrolls in seven years, but until we have the subsequent few months' reports, it's hard to read too much into the results. (As a note, Puerto Rico is NOT included in the BLS report.) The Labor Department said that the storms likely contributed to "a sharp employment decline in food services and drinking places (-105K) and below-trend growth in some other industries."
The same weather-related distortion could apply to wages, which were 2.9 percent higher from a year earlier. The reason is that many of those food services and drinking places employees were low-wage workers, who were temporarily unemployed because of the storms. Removing them from the total labor force likely pushed up the overall average during the survey period.
Meanwhile, the unemployment rate dropped to 4.2 percent, the lowest reading in 16 years (Feb 2001) and the slide was for a good reason: more workers found jobs even as the labor force expanded. While it's probably best to put an asterisk after this report, Paul Ashworth at Capital Economics believes that "the drop in the unemployment rate might persist…to nearer 4 percent for some time."
One place where there are plenty of open positions is the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. With last week's Senate approval (65-32) of Randall Quarles as vice chairman for supervision, there will still be three of the seven chairs open at the world's most important central bank, after Stanley Fischer steps down on October 15. The Trump administration has not nominated any candidates for those positions, perhaps because it is wrestling with whether or not to keep Janet Yellen as the Chair—her term ends in February.
[Quick wonky note about the Fed: Yellen became chair on February 3, 2014, for a four-year term ending February 3, 2018. But her 14-year term as a member of the Board began in October 2010 and will expire January 31, 2024. It is widely assumed that if Trump replaces her as chair, she will resign from the Board.]
Perhaps the President is resisting the re-appointment of Yellen because she is seen as a left-leaning academic, who is too rah-rah about tightening regulation for the systemically important financial institutions that the Fed oversees. But according to the editorial page of the Financial Times (not exactly a liberal publication), Yellen's tenure has continued the approach with that of her predecessor, Ben Bernanke, whose "reaction to the crisis was among the best of the world's central banks."
Some of the names being floated as a replacement for Yellen include former Fed board (2006-2011) member Kevin Warsh, who has consistently been wrong about the threat of inflation; presidential adviser Gary Cohn, the former Goldman Sachs executive/commodities trader, whose fiery personality may preclude him from building consensus among the Board; and current board member Jerome Powell, who has advocated loosening rules for banks. The Financial Times sums up the horserace like this: "On the three most important counts-views on monetary policy, attitude to financial regulation and Fed independence-reappointing Ms. Yellen is by far the best solution."

Reminders of things going on
August 16, 2017
Not much news but many reminders this week. First we have the Twin Bridges Museum. The staff wants to be sure that the information about their fundraising Yard Sale goes out to as many as possible, so help spread the word: Friday Aug. 18 and Saturday Aug. 19 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for great deals at great prices. It's one of the ways to guarantee that the bills are paid and the expenses of the improvements are met. If you haven't visited the museum yet, you are truly missing out. They still have many books and video equipment as well as the one-of-a-kind items for you to browse through and purchase for your very own.
Next up is the all exciting, upcoming eclipse—where do you plan...

Smart Hastings filly Xpression will be missing from Saturday's Gr.1 Levin Classic (1600m) at Trentham, but trainers Guy Lowry and Grant Cullen have their Group One winner Wait A Sec on the verge of a return to racing.
Xpression has been on the easy list since finishing third behind More Wonder at Awapuni last month.
"She was disappointing last start," Lowry said. "She seemed to be working up well before the race and she should have gone a lot better than she did. There had to be something wrong.
"We had her thoroughly checked over after the race and her bloods weren't 100 percent.
"It's not viral, but she's just got a few niggling issues and we've backed off her.
"She'll go out for a spell and we'll monitor her. Before we do anything with her we'll wait until she has a clean bill of health."
Xpression won the Gr.2 Wakefield Challenge Stakes (1200m) at Trentham as a two-year-old and was in fine form during the recent spring, adding two more wins to her tally, including the Gr.3 Barneswood Farm Stakes (1400m) at Ashburton, and being runner-up to Avantage in the Gr.3 Gold Trail Stakes (1200m) at Hastings.
The Showcasing filly then headed to Riccarton and ran a highly creditable third behind Media Sensation in the Gr.1 New Zealand 1000 Guineas (1600m) before being freshened for her latest outing.
"We're devastated she'll miss the Levin Classic and it would be nice to think she could be at Te Aroha for the Thoroughbred Breeders' Stakes, but that's unlikely now," Lowry said.
While Xpression is taking it easy, Wait A Sec is ticking over on track for a jumpout.
Wait A Sec became the stable star when winning the 2017 Gr.1 Livamol Classic (2040m) at Hastings, but has been off the scene since winning the Wairoa Cup (2100m) eleven months ago.
"He had a tear in his tendon and has had a good long break," Lowry said.
"We've been scanning him the whole way through and we've really been taking it day by day with him, but he seems to be coming up well.
"He's not far off having a jumpout, but we've got no big plans for him.
"The main goal is to get him going again and set him up for a really good prep in the spring."
The eight-year-old Postponed gelding has won 13 races and almost $400,000 in prizemoney with his last campaign also bringing a win in the Gr.3 Anniversary Handicap (1600m) at Trentham.
Trentham is the target for the next start for stablemate Real Beach, who completed a double when scoring convincingly over 2100m at Awapuni last Saturday.
The daughter of Nadeem had also won over the same course and distance last month and Lowry is keen to try her over even more of a staying test in a rating 82 2400m on January 26.
"She won well and I think there's a bit more improvement in her," Lowry said. - NZ Racing Desk

Warbler, Cape May bird picturesCAPE MAY WARBLER
650. Dendroica tigrina. 5 inches
Male, with a chestnut wash on the ears and throat; female, duller and with little or no chestnut.
In the greater part of eastern North America, Cape May Warblers are regarded as rare birds; they appear to migrate in compact bodies, not spreading out over the country as do most of the others; consequently they may be very common in restricted areas while lacking entirely in others.
I have never met with but two specimens in Massachusetts. While passing through the United States you may meet with them in open woods, parks, or in shade trees along the streets of cities.
Song. - A thin, high-pitched whistle repeated several times.
Nest.- Of small cedar twigs lined with horsehair, placed within a few feet of the ground in small cedar trees; eggs white spotted with brown (.68 x .50).
Range. - Eastern N. A., breeding in eastern Canada and, rarely, northern New England; winters south of the U.S.

Researchers make breakthrough in potential treatment for peanut allergy
If approved, the peanut protein-based drug will be the first therapeutic treatment for peanut allergy.
Source: Shutterstock.com
Children and young people with peanut allergy may be able to protect themselves from accidental ingestion by building up their tolerance to peanut protein over time, a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine (18 November 2018) has shown[1].
The phase III trial, the results of which were presented at the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) annual scientific meeting, included 551 participants aged 4–55 years, all of whom were highly allergic to peanuts. The participants were randomly assigned in a 3:1 ratio to receive either AR101 (a peanut-derived biologic drug with a characterised protein profile) or placebo.
The AR101 group received increasing amounts of peanut protein until they reached the "maintenance dose" of 300mg, equivalent to one peanut a day, on which they then remained for approximately 24 weeks.
The researchers then tested to see whether the participants could ingest a challenge dose of 600mg or more — the equivalent of approximately two whole peanut kernels — without dose-limiting symptoms.
Overall, 67% of the participants aged 4–17 years in the AR101 group could tolerate a single dose of at least 600mg of peanut protein at the end of the study, compared with 4% in the placebo group, despite the fact that none of them were able to tolerate more than 30mg of peanut protein prior to treatment.
"Reactions from the oral challenges at the end of the study were much milder than prior to treatment," said Stephen Tilles, study co-author and former president of the ACAAI.
"On average, the participants were able to tolerate a 100-fold higher dose of peanut at the end of the study than they did at the beginning. In addition, the symptoms caused by the 100-fold higher dose at the end of study were milder than the symptoms on the lower dose at the beginning of the study."
However, no significant effect was found in participants aged 18–55 years.
Adverse events were common in the two trial groups. But adverse events that were considered by the investigators to be serious or severe occurred in fewer than 6% of the participants in the AR101 group and in fewer than 2% of those in the placebo group.
"This is not a quick fix, and it doesn't mean people with peanut allergy will be able to eat peanuts whenever they want," said Jay Lieberman, co-author and vice chair of the ACAAI Food Allergy Committee.
"But it is definitely a breakthrough. The hope would be to have a treatment available in the second half of 2019. If that happens, people who receive and are able to tolerate this treatment should be protected from accidental exposures."
If this treatment is approved by the FDA, it will be available by prescription, and people with a peanut allergy will need to take it continuously to stay protected against accidental consumption, the researchers said.

Berkeley's Professor Yoo Strikes Again...
Michael Froomkin reports:
Discourse.net: A Reader Writes In About Yoo and Torture: A reader writes in to say, "You MUST read Jane Mayer's 'Outsourcing Torture' in the New Yorker. Get a load of what Yoo's saying now:"?
Yoo also argued that the Constitution granted the President plenary powers to override the U.N. Convention Against Torture when he is acting in the nation¡'s defense—a position that has drawn dissent from many scholars. As Yoo saw it, Congress doesn't have the power to 'tie the President's hands in regard to torture as an interrogation technique.' He continued, 'It's the core of the Commander-in-Chief function. They can't prevent the President from ordering torture.' If the President were to abuse his powers as Commander-in-Chief, Yoo said, the constitutional remedy was impeachment. He went on to suggest that President Bush's victory in the 2004 election, along with the relatively mild challenge to Gonzales mounted by the Democrats in Congress, was 'proof that the debate is over.' He said, 'The issue is dying out. The public has had its referendum.'
In other words, 'a vote for Bush is a vote for torture.' Jesus H. Christ, he actually SAID it.
As Constitutional doctrine it's not just offensive, it's also fairly silly. Congress has several Article I powers, not least the power to regulate the armed forces, which make it clear that it has the power to prevent torture. And then there's the power to implement treaties, which the Constitution itself says are the highest law, equivalent to the Constitution itself...
Posted by DeLong at February 14, 2005 05:03 PM
I think Yoo's correct (as to the President, personally), but here's my problem --
As an interrogator who's received an order from the President to torture a subject, am I then free to violate the laws and treaties adopted by the Congress?
Posted by: Ellen1910 at February 14, 2005 05:53 PM
Whatever definition anyone previously had in mind for the concept of "tyranny of the majority," junk it and use Yoo's explanation instead. If the 51% vote to torture the 49%, it's fine.
Posted by: P O'Neill at February 14, 2005 06:39 PM
Hey Brad, does it feel creepy to be Yoo's colleague? Where I am I'm sure there are psycho characters in the woodwork, but to be a colleague of such an openly famous creep must be weird for you.
Posted by: Mandos at February 14, 2005 07:27 PM
Oh fine.
"Yoo-hoo, I want to torture some people now. Zat OK with Yoo?"
"Oh sure. If you want to do ANYTHING, it's OK."
Do what Yoo will, will be the whole of the law.

Will someone tell me what the hell else we voted for during the last presidential election?
The magic "referendum" list is getting long.
How much more of this crap are we going to hear?
Posted by: Movie Guy at February 14, 2005 08:01 PM
somewhere out there is a blog post noting that the Bush administration is no longer just fighting the twentieth century; they are now citing with King John in the debate whether the king is above the law. Prof. DeLong, your collegue has taken King John's side in this...

Movie guy: "Will someone tell me what the hell else we voted for during the last presidential election?"
I thought it was a referendum on whether windsurfing was a more manly hobby than clearing brush, but what do I know, I read newspapers, magazines, etc., so I must be clueless.
As for Dr. Yoo, the only thing I can think of as I shake my head to an fro is "shame on Yoo!"
Posted by: mrjauk at February 14, 2005 10:11 PM
This interesting factoid from Yoo's Berkeley web page: he's preparing a book-length version of the torture memos, to be published sometime this year by the U. of Chicago Press.
Are any of his students blogging?
Posted by: ozoid at February 15, 2005 01:33 AM
What does that mean -- "a book length version" of the torture memos? His after-the-fact justifications for blithely authoring the memos in the first place?
I'm very puzzled by the "referendum" re-casting of the act of voting for presidential candidates. If this is the way such votes are going to be used in future elections, I want to vote for the platform and policies, rather than for the man. Let's just get rid of the president.

Any US servicepeople reading this weblog will doubtless be aware that under the Nuremberg principles, "Obeying orders" is not a defence against war crimes charges unless they were in a situtation where no genuine moral choice was possible. But it's probably best reminding them anyway.
Posted by: dsquared at February 15, 2005 05:49 AM
Yoo's statement that the Commander in Chief is above the law is "fairly silly" in the same way that the Nazi legal doctrine of the infallibility of the Fuhrer was silly. The doctrine of the inherent power of the CinC has been in development among right-wing lawyers for a generation, courtesy of the Federalist Society, and the young lawyers who were brought up on it are now judges, professors, and high officials, including the AG. Of course it's silly but it's well on the way to becoming the law of the land.
Posted by: jr at February 15, 2005 06:31 AM
Ellen1910, Obeying a criminal order is also a crime. However, our legal system severly punishes the military for failure to obey orders. One affirmative defence for war crimes is to assert that you were obeying orders you thought were lawful. I'm surprised that none of the abughirab gang got off with that defence (if they actually used it).For further details you might want to look at the Nuremburg Trials after WW2.
Posted by: Peter at February 15, 2005 06:56 AM
This is a horrifying article. It begins with a description of the "extraordinary rendition" of a Canadian citizen, Arar, and proceeds to explain that we have had this program for many years. It was operated by the CIA, and focused on picking up people who were under sentence from other nations, and who might have intelligence useful for us.
After 9/11, it was put into use for anyone the government, particularly the CIA, thought might have something useful, whether or not they were under sentence.
The program seems a lot like what many hawkish liberals, including myself, thought was a good idea, the idea of having a program that would operate like some Tom Clancy version of the Mossad, or the Soviets, where the good guys would get the bad guys out of the way without much regard for the niceties.
The problem is not the fantasy that somehow our CIA knows who the bad guys are. The problem is reality: we are a nation of laws, we don't know who the bad guys are, and worst, it doesn't work. All of these points are made clear in the article.
The election was a referendum: fantasy vs. reality. Fantasy won.

Exactly. Anyone who thinks that universities are hotbeds of unbridled leftism has never been to law school.

Doesn't the President have the power to make treaties? Which means the argument could be made that he has the authority to contravene them, as well - including the Geneva Convention. Of course I'm legally ignorant, so this is just pulled out of my butt...
[Make treaties, but only with the advice and consent of the Senate]
Posted by: saurabh at February 15, 2005 08:59 AM
The election was also a referendum on the choice between being a citizen or being a serf. Serf won.
Posted by: mas at February 15, 2005 09:01 AM
Yoo is truly frightening. Consider this from Jane Mayer's New Yorker article on extraordinary rendition:
"Why is it so hard for people to understand that there is a category of behavior not covered by the legal system.... Historically there were people so bad that they were not given protection of the laws.."
Serial killers are given the protection of the laws. The Nazi leadership was given a trial. How does Yoo define this mysterious category? And equally important, how does he decide that someone fits into it without any sort of fact-finding procedure that permits the subject to challenge the categorization?
Yoo goes on to say that Congress "can't prevent the President from ordering torture." In effect he advocates the position (as does Gonzales) that there are simply no limits, other than impeachment, on the President's power.
These people are terrifying.
Posted by: Bernard Yomtov at February 15, 2005 09:08 AM
"Historically" in the sense of "before the concept of the Rule of Law" had been thought up, and formalized with the Magna Carta. See: King John.
Posted by: Auros at February 15, 2005 10:40 AM
saurabh, treaties have to be ratified by the Senate to be binding on the United States, but ratified treaties are binding law. The president can't contravene them any more than he can set aside federal law or the US Constitution. Of course, the new authoritarians don't see it that way...

text: The public benefit of having an oversight committee to be a watchdog on Jacksonville Journey anti-crime programs became evident at the group's recent second meeting.The group's members heard a report about how the $10.8 million in Journey money earmarked for the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office is being used to hire more corrections and patrol officers.As part of that discussion, members heard that the Sheriff's Office would get about $400,000 more to provide security for some Journey after-school youth programs.Journey members wanted to know why the Sheriff's Office should get more Journey money for security when it was already receiving millions. Wouldn't that money be better spent on programs that directly help youth targeted in the Journey?Good question - one that Journey members want more answers on soon. Oversight Committee Chairman Paul Perez is sending the Sheriff's Office a list of questions about the issue along with a request that the agency provide answers at the February meeting.Keep those questions coming about the Journey.As the group tasked by Mayor John Peyton and the City Council with helping to set up standards, measurements and results for $31 million in Journey programs this year, oversight committee members have an important role to play on behalf of taxpayers and the broader community.It was a bumpy beginning, although no fault of the group's.By the time the group was in place and had its first meeting in December, the city - in an effort to get the programs in play - had already devised requests for proposals for various Journey projects. That left the oversight committee outside looking in regarding front-end input for this round.About one-third of the money is being spent on the Sheriff's Office with the rest going to prevention and intervention efforts, which includes money to expand successful programs in middle school, help ex-offenders stay out of crime and boost early literacy.The city must deal with deep-rooted problems. Most programs will only have a few months of track record to evaluate by the time the mayor must consider how to fashion his budget proposal for 2009-10 that he will present in July. The efforts are not assured of funding after this year.The oversight group's role as watchdog and accountability advocate for Journey programs is critical.State-leading murder and violence rates are the biggest problems facing our community. But the community has many needs. Any dollars aimed at the program must be spent wisely with measurable standards of success and recipients being held accountable for results.Keep asking those probing questions.

RJD-LJP to formally announce seat-sharing for Bihar
New Delhi, Mar 17 (ANI): United Progressive Alliance (UPA) allies Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) and Rashtriya Janata Dal have arrived at a seat-sharing formula for 40 Lok Sabha seats in Bihar on Tuesday.
The formal announcement is expected to be made later today at a joint press conference here.
According to sources, the Ram Vilas Paswan led-LJP will field its candidates in 12 constituencies. Talking to the reporters before the meeting with RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, Paswan indicated a climbdown in his party's earlier stand on contesting either 16 seats or going alone in all forty seats in the state.
The RJD-LJP deal is likely to encourage the Congress to bargain for eight seats that it is demanding from Lalu.
UPA sources had predicted that the LJP could get 11 or 12 seats, the Congress five to six and the RJD 23 to 24 seats under the agreement.
The 2009 general elections in Bihar would happen in four phases. The first phase is scheduled on April 16, second on April 22 and 23, third on April 30 and fourth on May 7.
In the previous general election, the UPA had bagged 29 seats in the state, while the JD(U)-BJP combined had 11. The RJD's tally was 22, while the LJP could only win four. (ANI)

Are you tired and stressed? Well you are not alone. Almost 40 percent of Americans report symptoms of insomnia at some given point, according to the National Sleep Foundation. No matter what something usually effects your sleep, such as time change, stress at work and or some other problem in your life. In the end being tired sucks. But being tired all the time can lead to serious health problems including depression, heart disease. Before you reach for the latest prescription drug, why not reach for a utensil instead and take a look at your diet. Improving your diet can go a long way to help improve your sleep quality. Opt for foods rich in the right sleep inducing ingredients.
Cherries are great snack to help get you sleepy. Why does it work? All cherries are naturally high in melatonin which is a hormone that helps induce sleep. Eat a cup of whole cherries as a late night snack if you don't want to drink cherry juice. Cherry juice also offers the same benefits.
Fish also contain a natural sedative, tryptophan. Shrimp, cod, and tuna contain the highest levels of this even more then turkey. Some seafood choices may not be the healthiest of choices do to some contain high contaminants or some species are over fished. Stick to safe catches like Pacific cod from Alaska or pole caught Albacore tuna.
Lemon Balm
This member of the mint family is a sleep inducing superstar for everyone. It seems to be most potent in combination with another herb called valerian. One study published in the journal Phytotherapy Research , 81 percent of people with some sleep problems took a combination of the herbs and indicated better sleeping then people who took the placebo. You can purchase them as supplements or you can make a tea by steeping one to two teaspoons of dried lemon balm and one teaspoon of valerian root in a cup of hot water for 5-10 minutes. Though make sure before trying this if you are taking any other medications, ask your doctor or pharmacist about any potential interactions.
Chamomile is another herbal remedy that people have used for many years to help sleep. In one study it calmed mice down as effectively as tranquilizers and in a human study it showed signs of helping calm generalized anxiety disorder. It's easy to access chamomile as these teas are sold in every supermarket.
Bananas are super fruit that are packet with potassium and magnesium which are minerals that promote muscle relaxation. Studies with these proved that they can help with deficiencies related to restless leg syndrome and nighttime muscle cramps. Which are two conditions that can certainly interrupt your sleep. Try to make a goal to see if you can eat one banana a day to see if it can help your sleep problems.
Spinach is rich in potassium and magnesium, and also high in calcium and again plays a role in sleep. Calcium helps the body create more melatonin, which can help your body sleep better. You can get these great benefits from dark leafy greens such as Swiss chard and collard greens.
Another rich in melatonin boosting calcium product is milk. A number of studies indicate that calcium defiencies are linked to poor sleep. With the old age tradition of a warm glass of milk may help you sleep better after all.
Almonds are chalk full of magnesium and yet another source of calcium. You can have handful of them or maybe try some almond butter spread on a whole grain English muffin. This could help you get a better night sleep.
Carb and Protein
There is an on-going debate as to how well your body handles tryptophan and that getting it from high-protein foods can work against you. It can prevent the tryptophan from entering your brain. But when you are combining carbs with high protein foods, the insulin in your body produces in response to the carbs makes it easier to break through your brain barriers. So for a sleepy snack food think granola, oatmeal or whole grain cereal with organic milk.

'Big Bang Theory' Stars Brave the Market Bust
Who needs to save for a rainy day when you star in a hit TV show?
In moves that we suspect have the financial managers of "Big Bank Theory" stars Kaley Cuoco and Simon Helberg pulling out their hair, both TV stars have recently listed (and in Cuoco's case, sold) their houses for less than they paid for them.
Obviously content to walking away from hundreds of thousands of dollars, Cuoco (pictured at left with Helberg) purchased her home for $1.355 million in 2005 and sold it for $822,500 in August 2011 after three price drops.
Helberg purchased his two-story Craftsman-style home in Los Angeles' Hancock Park area (pictured above) in May 2008 for $950,000 and currently has it listed for $849,000. OK, so maybe a $100,000 hit isn't the worst thing in the world for a guy making in the $100,000 to $125,000 per episode range, according to Deadline Hollywood. His estimated net worth, according to our tabloid friends, is around $4 million.
Go ahead, make him a low-ball offer. He and his wife, actress Jocelyn Towne, recently bought a larger home with more privacy.
See Gallery
Helberg's house for sale has 3,760 square feet, which includes five bedrooms and four bathrooms on an 8,000-square-foot lot. There are hardwood floors throughout and the property includes a full guest house above the garage.

Hi Nanci.
I used the sunscreen today. It's so silky smooth. Not too thick and it glides on without any film. There was not a drop of oil on my skin after an entire day of walking dogs and transcribing. It was still silky smooth and looked like I had just applied it. Love ❤ it! Can't wait to see it do it's job on my sun damaged skin. I'll have to take some pics for you.
Thank you for another fabulous product!

Chinese regulators are likely to follow the US Federal Maritime Commission's lead in giving the green light to an alliance between the world's three biggest container-shipping companies, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday, citing people involved in the talks. The "P3″ alliance comprises Denmark's Maersk Line, France's CMA CGM and Switzerland-based Mediterranean Shipping Company, the report said. The combined operations would control up to 40 percent of total cargo across the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, it said. For the three shipping companies, the pact's logic rests on sharing ships and port facilities from Shanghai to Rotterdam, New York and the US West Coast, the report said.

Mystery Sounds – Part 2
- 13
- May
Although we have spoken at some length about mystery sounds related to water hammer, there still remains a few more things to talk about. Perhaps there is a certain fixture in your home no one is allowed to use because as soon as the handle is turned, the house goes into vibromatic massage mode. An option you weren't even sure was available and are quite certain you don't want! What is it that causes this dramatic jackhammer effect in your pipes? The answer is usually quite simple, more often than not it can be caused by a loose bib washer inside of the fixture. If replacing the bib washer does not solve the problem, chances are it's time to call your Ontario plumber. There may be other issues that need to be investigated by a professional.
While we are addressing noises of your fixture, it's probably a good time to address that dull irritating squeak that echoes through the house when you're turning the handles. Just like the hinges on a door get dried out and start squeaking, the stems on your faucet do too. Hard to believe, I know. You would think that being constantly wet, there would be no need for lubrication, but faucet stems need to be greased just like any other moving part. Care should be taken, however, to use only plumbers grease to ensure not only that it lasts, but that it will be safe for drinking water as well.
Also related to the vibrating noises is a sound which emanates from some of the modern technology we now use to heat water. On occasion, those of you who own tankless water heaters may have heard a sound that resembles a cross between a Canadian goose and an unbalanced clothes washer. This vibratory honk could be related to a number of issues, but most often is related to poor air flow through the heater. If you hear this sound, it is probably a good idea to have Green Hippo Plumbing come out and take a look. First we need to make sure the unit is installed properly and then we can inspect it to make sure it is operating safely. When equipment such as a tankless water heater starts making noise, it is usually a warning sign and should be inspected by a professional like your Ontario plumber.
Now that we have been able to solve a few mysteries, I hope you will be able to rest easy. Understanding the cause of the sound always helps alleviate the spookiness that accompanies it. And in cases like the tankless heater it can help to insure you're safe. Gas appliances that are improperly installed can result in the production of carbon monoxide, in addition to poor performance, which may not have a noise attached to it, but can often be more frustrating. (That topic will be addressed in another article, so stay tuned!) So keep your ears open, you just might be able to impress your friends with all the extra knowledge your plumber has been giving you.Google+

The Nifty which forms the barometer of the Indian Stock Market returns has given positive returns for the year 2016 & 2017. Nifty prediction premises is to generate alpha portfolio returns with keeping the benchmark in mind.
We all are looking to create wealth in the long term and that forms the core of AlphaTrading.
When major brokerage houses are given Indian Stock Market the "overweight" retrospecting qualitative and quantitative measure what can one expect the year of 2018.
Nifty Prediction
GDP at 8% is an achievement so is maintaining it. GDP to grow beyond that is a task which brings with it the limitations. Performing positively with the current standard deviation level can be unfolded with the current flow of events. Especially when the current market price forms the upper part of the standard deviation it's not long before the mean reversion comes to play.
PE Ratio
Current Price to earning is expensive can be justified only with expansion to earning to justify the current trend is very important.
Let's have a look at the Historical PE Ratio to understand the outlook better.
Earning on the basis of QOQ to YOY one could predict if the current price to earning is justifiable or not. Also, expansion of the earning will give the opportunity for more growth.
Markets have not been good to the investors at these record price to earning ratio levels.
Let's have a look at how well the price to earnings ratio is placed historically.
At these price to earning levels, even the smallest negative global news could have a deterring impact on the benchmark. In such a scenario the small, medium & micro are the most affected.
Random walk theory importance was felt when most of the academians were estimating a market crash in the year of 2017. GST & Note Demonetization turned out to be the sweet poison.
Unpredictable structural change by the current government can have a long-lasting impact. Nevertheless, with fewer opportunities having a minimal shopping bag sounds ideal.
Yearly Returns
Valuations are generally high in the expansionary market. Looking at the YOY returns market might have still some steam left. Still few quarters could continue with the current trend.
Correction in short term cannot be denied. Maintaining a good portion of the portfolio in debt could be profitable in long run.
Stable Investor has worked out the year on year market growth kindly find the same below.
At current levels, profit booking could be one of the main reason for the stock market to correct. Expecting a huge return for the year 2018 should be ruled out because of expensive valuations. Most of the time during the government structural changes the money change hand more often than not.
Having a look at the rolling returns prepared by StableInvestor shows that last few years the market has been flat. Expecting the market to perform positive is a high probability event. Provided the earning expansion across sectors to justify the same.
Below is the rolling return nifty chart.
"We changed a lot economically in 2016 and 2017, the fruits of which in the corporate earnings are going to come in 2018. This is very significant. Even some of the CEOs themselves will be surprised to see the earnings growth in their own companies, a positive surprise." Porinju Veliyath to Economic Times
Macro Technical Outlook
Technically the market has been performing higher tops and higher bottom which is a positive sign for markets.
Every correction in the stock market has been taken positively. Every correction is being treated as a buying opportunity currently. Except for some part of the year 2016, the nifty benchmark has been positive on the moving averages.
Nifty Prediction Arc confirms that every drop in the stock market has been treated like a buying opportunity.
"We expect the negative impact from GST to gradually fade over the coming year while delivering several medium-term benefits including improved efficiency, formalization of activities and price transparency," Goldman Sachs
Buying Winners & Selling Losers should be the ideal lookout.
With the current run up a correction of nifty 9000 cannot be ruled out. The nifty predication arch chart level confirms the same.
Over To You
An ideal expectation for Nifty for the year 2018 on the upside with 60% probability should be around 10% – 20% on the downside with 40% probability one can expect the correction to touch at 9000 levels.
If you have points to add I would be more than happy to hear you in the comments section. A constructive contribution is always appreciated.
But in the meantime, here's a tip you can use right away. High Valuations give your higher hedging opportunities. Put them to use for your benefit.
Come back here and tell us about the before-and-after. I bet you'll have something to say! If you enjoyed this post, I'd be very grateful if you'd help it spread by emailing it to a friend or sharing it on Twitter or Facebook. Thank you!

At least put off till next Wednesday. This could be a real bad storm. I have my house on the Chesapeake. If Florence maintains its current track it shouldn't be too bad there. But I pity those poor people in North and South Carolina. My house was built in 1896. and it's wood frame. Hurricane Isabel about 14 years ago hit us. The water came up six feet above the highest tide that that I had ever seen there. And it was at low tide that it happened. I looked out my window that morning and all I could see was water. A lot of my neighbors were flooded. The water didn't quite reach my house.
More Moedonna. If you recall, Madonna has never been shy. As for Moe Howard, he was way beyond bashful. I'm sure you know that Moe, Curley and Shemp were brothers. Their last name was Horowitz, changed to Howard for professional reasons. Larry Fine was an accomplished violinist.

What a treat I've had today, my lovely parents-in-law not only whisked the kids off for the day so that DH and I could have a much needed day working in the garden (aching backs all round though . . .), but we were also given these bunch of lovelies from my parents-in-laws neighbours hens - who have been laying furiously. They must know Easter is fast approaching.
So with eggs in mind I've got a few lovely blogs to show you which might inspire you with your eggs. First up is Samster Mommy with her Glittered Eggs - right up mine and Flopsy Bunny's street. Then there is Moda Bake Shop with Bunny Eggs - a wonderful idea for using up lots of scraps of material. Finally To Be Charmed has some Japanese Washi Tape Easter Eggs - very lovely. We are going to attempt blowing and painting eggs this week - I'll let you know how we get on!

How To Borrow Male Privilege in Hollywood
By Sarah Gertrude Shapiro + TED Talks
"UnREAL" co-creator Sarah Gertrude Shapiro delivers this Ted Talk on her love/hate relationship about working in Hollywood as a female writer/director and how hard it is to be taken seriously when you have a vagina. She shares her unconventional story about how she "broke in." HINT: it involves her being drunk, hiring a hot male assistant and setting up a meeting with the biggest lawyer in Hollywood. She's a Boss with a capital B, no doubt.
Fact: women have better chances of becoming underwater welders than female directors. #NotUnREAL #NotOkay

FOLLOWING a seven-month lay-off top class runner Alun Vaughan returned to winning ways in the Borders Road Running League race at Mold on Sunday.
He led the Eryri men's team to an emphatic victory on the day to stretch their lead at the top of the first division to 289 points ahead of nearest challengers Buckley with only two races to go.
On the five-mile undulating course, Vaughan had a close battle with young challenger Ricky Challinor (Deeside) before securing victory by a two-second margin in 25.53. The consistent Brendan Rothery was fourth in 26.53 with Richard Roberts returning from injury fifth in 27.00.
Other Eryri placings and times: 10th Matthew Roberts 27.29, 15th Iain Ridgway 27.52, 25th Paul Wathan 28.51, 28th Richard Williams 28.56, 34th Dave Pryce 29.06, 41st Kelvin Jones 29.37, 52nd Paul Howarth 30.15, 58th Tony Woodall 30.32, 62nd Arwel Lewis 30.38, 92nd (1st Vet 60) Don Williams 32.10, 109th Ian Rothery 33.03, 138th Emyr Davies (another making a comeback after a long lay-off due to injury) 34.41, 140th Mervyn Williams 34.46, 179th Ian Blakemore 38.05, 191st Iorwerth Roberts 39.02, 208th Roy Jardine 40.58 and 221st Dave Beard 44.33. Eryri's total of 215pts is also a record score in the Borders League for the men's team.
Eryri's ladies maintained their push for promotion. Though fourth on the day in the second division and now trailing leaders Wallasey by 39 points, they also moved back to the top of the improvers league, some feat having won the trophy last season.
Eryri were led by the vastly improving Gemma Morgans, 156th overall (1st U20L) in 36.08, followed by 165th Rhian Jones 36.55, 201st Jenny Blakemore 40.20 and 215th Allison Donnelly 41.35. There were 230 finishers.

August 1 – Big Anniversary Concert & Party
Miami's Historic Virginia Key Beach Park: How It All Began and Its Importance Today
by Dinizulu Gene Tinnie
The Miami Herald of May 10, 1945, carried the following article, under the headline "NO ARRESTS: Negroes Test Beach Rights At Haulover":
A group of negroes [sic] testing their right to use county owned bathing beaches trooped up to Baker's haulover area Wednesday afternoon to splash in the surf off the proposed county park. They advised Sheriff Jimmy Sullivan's office in advance of their intention. White officers, called also by neighboring residents, went to the scene and questioned some of the 50 or 60 bathers but made no attempt to arrest them.
The bathers arrived in a motorcade, stayed about an hour and departed.
Sheriff's Deputy R.O. Scruggs said he had been told of the negroes' plans, but had advised that there was no law under which they would be subject to arrest. Judge Henderson, president of the Negro Citizens Service league, said the affair was arranged under the auspices of the league strictly "as a test of our rights."
"We weren't arrested, so as far as I know we will be going to the beach from now on," he commented. "If they arrest us, we will appeal to the courts." Henderson said negroes have no bathing beach available to them now, and plans for establishing one on Virginia Beach have not shown any progress. He declared Wednesday's move was not taken with the idea of causing trouble, but only as a step to obtain some bathing beach facilities. Little could the writer of that article at the time realize how much this brief notice revealed about the times or how significant this incident would become in Miami's history.

3 june 2015
Joël Pommerat is one of the special guests of this year's edition and he will be awarded a start on the Walk of Fame as a recognition of his amazing contribution to theatre. He is placing on stage only his own plays, believing that the directing and the text of the play should be elaborated during the rehearsals. Pommerat is trying to create a visual theatre, that is, at the same time, intimate and spectacular. With the production "the Reunification of the two Koreas" (presented at the Sibiu International Theatre Festival 2013) he won the Prize Beaumarchais/le Figaro for the Best Author, the Prize for the Best Performance at Palmarès du Théâtre and the Prize for the Best Production of a French Play. In 2015 he was awared the Prize for the Best World Production at the International Opera Awards with the opera "Au monde".
This year, Joël Pommerat brings at Sibiu the show "Cinderella", a coproduction Théâtre National de la Communauté Française de Belgique/ La Monnaie/De Munt, with two performances scheduled for Friday, 12th of June at 9 p.m. and Saturday, 13th of June, at 8 p.m., hosted by the Octavian Goga National College. Counting on the Belgium actors, on a concious writing and a cinematographic set (using the aesthetics of darkness, already a personal mark of the director, after the previous shows: "Le Petit Chaperon Rouge" and "Pinocchio" ), Joël Pommerat manages to provide some realism to the story, without losing its charm. Staging a huge success on the last season, "Cinderella" is a perfect show for both adults and children, at the same time, engaging anyone who refuses to decide between the dull reality of the adults and a childish spirit.
Teatro de la Abadia, one of the most important theatres in Spain presents this year, in the festival, the show "Towards Happiness", a production created for the project "Cities on stage", in partnership with the Radu Stanca National Theatre. Olivier Py, actor, director and manager of the Avignon International Theatre Festival, signs the text and the directing of the play. A man – played by Pedro Casablanc – wakes up in the middle of the night, affected by a premonition that encourages him to get dressed and to go run on the streets. His internal monologue is accompanied by a range of objects and shadows, but also by the live music of Fernando Velázquez, a film score composer ("Ocho apellidos vascos", "The Impossible"). The two performances of this show are scheduled for Thursday, 18th of June, at 10 p.m. and Friday, 19th of June, at 4 p.m., at BRD, Scena 9.
Armin Petras, one of the most important contemporary directors comes to Sibiu with two shows produced by Schauspiel Stuttgart Theatre, where he is the manager starting the last season: "The visit of the old lady" and "5 mornings". Also, he is preparing a show in coproduction with the Radu Stanca National Theatre: "Nathan the Wise". With an outstanding directing career, in Germany and around the world, Armin Petras was the manager of the Leipzig Theatre, then the manager of the Schauspiel Frankfurt Threatre. "The visit of the old lady" by Friedrich Dürrenmatt, a coproduction Schauspiel Stuttgart - Maxim Gorki Theater Berlin is scheduled for Sunday, 14th of June, 9 p.m., at Casa de Cultură a Sindicatelor – Sala Mare.
Armin Petras also works as a writer under the pseudonym Fritz Kater and the text of the play "5 mornings" belongs to him. Fritz Kater places the action of the play during a catastrophe. The city is on alert. Was it because of an explosion? Was it because of a radioactive contamination? A dangerous virus? The perception that the whole society is exhausted? Nobody knows. Aparently, no outside enemy is responsible for this. A show with an impact, that is scheduled for Wednesday, 17th of June, 9 p.m. at Radu Stanca National Theatre, Sala Studio.
"Nathan the Wise" (originaly by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing) is the result of one of the biggest projects that the Radu Stanca National Theatre had in coproduction with the Schauspiel Stuttgart National Theatre. The purpose of this project is more complex than just to stage a play. It brings up the social dimension of the terrorism and the racism in these two countries. The cast is consisted of renowned actors like Ofelia Popii, who was awarded in Romania, Scotland (Edinburgh) and Japan, Peter Kurth and Katharina Knap, both actors at Schauspiel Stuttgart National Theatre, who received awards like "Best actor of the Year" and "Best new actor" in Germany. The premiere of the show is scheduled during the festival, on the 15th of June, 10 p.m, at the Radu Stanca National Theatre and later on, there will be a premiere at the begining of 2016 at the Schauspiel Stuttgart National Theatre and also some performances at the National Theatre in Oslo.

|For many people drinking coffee is simply a part of their daily routine. Without thinking, the reservoir is being filled with a half-gallon of water and the brew button is being punched. Coffee has become a way to meet with friends and co-workers, it gives people a reason to be social. Between entertaining friends and habitual morning cups, stained pots have become a common problem. Making coffee or any other hot drink in a stained coffee pot results in a bitter or muddy taste. Over time coffee oils, hard water scales and impurities accumulate, making it difficult to remove stains with traditional cleaning methods. Public Kitchen Supply has discovered several unique ways to remove these tricky stains.
|The first method we suggest is the "Salt and Ice Method," you will need ice and table salt. Before you start cleaning make sure your coffee pot is cool, after the pot has cooled, fill the base with plenty of salt. Next, add 3 to 4 ice cubes and swirl the ice into the salt until the combination begins to move around smoothly. Until the ice melts, continue to swirl the ice and salt gradually increasing in speed. When you are finished pour out the liquid and repeat if any stains remain. This is a gentle method meant for glass coffee pots like the Hamilton Beach® 12 Cup Replacement Carafe.
|Another great technique is through the use of baking soda, warm water and a scrubber. Baking soda can easily remove coffee stains from polycarbonate and stainless steel pots, like Update International's Plastic Coffee Decanter, because it acts as a gentle abrasive cleaner. The first step is to put one cup of baking soda in your stained pot then fill the remainder of the pot with warm water. Second, use a strong scrubber to clean the inside of the pot, Public Kitchen Supply suggests the 3M® Scotch Brite™ Power Scrub Sponge. If the stain is still visible after scrubbing, pour out the water from the coffee pot and add a 1/2 cup of hydrogen peroxide with two to three tablespoons of baking soda. Once again, swirl the pot around for about one minute and let the paste rest for 30 minutes. Finally, rinse thoroughly with hot water and dry with a soft cloth.
|However, one of the simplest ways to clean a stained coffee pot is with products designed to remove stains and marks, like the SSDC® Coffee Pot Cleaner & Destainer. These stain removing tablets eliminate pesky stains quickly and easily. Simply drop one tablet into your coffee pot, fill with hot water and wait 20 minutes, when you return your pot will be clean. Stain removing products often work on a variety of coffee pots or decanters including glass, stainless steel, and plastic and are the most efficient way of cleaning.
|The consequences of not cleaning coffee pots regularly surpasses simply a bitter taste. When residue is left behind in a coffee maker it provides a great place for bacteria to form. Bacteria forms a slick biofilm when grown in dark, moist place and so do molds. It is important to keep your coffee pot and coffeemaker clean because a dirty pot can jeopardize your health. Whether you're brewing a cup of Joe for yourself or your customers, Public Kitchen Supply recommends using one of the methods above at least once a month.
