Nöle Giulini, C-IAYT, born in Heidelberg, Germany, has practiced and studied Yoga since the 1980s. She's certified to teach yoga by Kripalu and by Erich Schiffmann. She has studied with Richard Miller since 2003.
Her background in Art Therapy and her lifelong work as artist (www.ngiulini.com) infuse depth, caring exploration and refreshing inventiveness into each session. Together with her life partner, Gary Lemons, she owns and runs Tenderpaws Yoga Studio in Port Townsend, WA.
Beginning in 2010 she began offering iRest workshops and individual sessions in the Practice of Welcoming from September through November in Germany, Austria, Denmark and Switzerland.
In 2011 Nöle translated and narrated Richard Miller's "iRest at Ease" from English into German. This recording as well as Nöle's German language guided iRest recordings are available as a download on the IRI website.
Although the process of unfolding was often extremely painful, I knew then iRest/Yoga Nidra and the Practice of Welcoming were my life's calling. Now, many years later, I see clearly how my practice of art and my practice of yoga are not separate. I always felt it was and is my work in this world to hold dear what lives in the dark and to give voice, expression and tender care to the injured, denied, rejected and broken aspects of life. Working as attentively and lovingly as possible with these aspects - whether in matter as a sculptor or with human beings as a yoga and meditation teacher is my deepest heart's longing.
"Inspired by her life long practice as a yogi Nöle developed a unique style that animates complex ancient teachings in a playful, practical, and deeply life-changing way."

The Cardboard Hoard: PAX Unplugged Recap -- Sunday; Or A Different Point of View
I was really excited for my kids first board game convention, and knew Kid's Day would be the perfect opportunity for it, considering its proximity to home and it being planned with kids in mind. But I also knew I wouldn't be doing the things I normally like to do at a convention, as I knew my kids wouldn't find chatting with boring adults interesting (no matter what games they designed or companies they ran), and demoing or playing anything heavier or longer was out, as I had to make sure my attention and focus was on them and not on a game -- temporarily misplacing my kids would have, rightfully, been the end of this hobby for me.
So I was going to let them pick and choose whatever interested them, and in doing so, I really got to see the convention through new eyes, and saw a bunch of things that I am not even sure how I missed earlier.
But first, since I was with my wife and kids, who did not have exhibitor badges, we had to wait in the queue to get in. This is where it becomes clear that PAX knows what they are doing and can handle large crowds. In large hall near the main hall, they set up a series of roped areas, parallel to one another. They filled each roped area into rough lines. At 10:00 am, they allowed one line at a time to begin walking into the main hall -- much different than the Gen Con opening door rush. It was fairly orderly, and even standing at one of the last lines, it took less than ten minutes to get in.
My eight-year-old daughter and five-year-old son, both very proud to have their very own shiny Kid's Day badges, had eyes as big as saucers upon entering the hall. Not knowing where to start, I steered them toward the APE Games booth, as I remember Jason Lees telling me they had a game called Major General that was good for all ages. Of course, when we got there, my kids weren't interested in that game at all, because Duck! Duck! Go! was set up on the table -- with actual rubber ducks as player pieces. We demoed the game, and my daughter instantly said she wanted to buy it. I told both my kids that I would buy them each one game that day, but not until the end of the day after they played everything and picked their favorites.
After the demo, I steered the kids away from the exhibitor hall for a moment to meet up with my friends Marti and Sarah from Open Seat Gaming. I had promised them I'd teach them NMBR 9 and sat down with them and Devon, who we'd met up with earlier, to play a quick game. Sarah picked the game up right away and crushed all of us.
My wife -- a veterinarian and animal lover -- came back to the table with a game she had just bought on impulse, called You Gotta Be Kitten Me! It played up to ten players, so we opened it right up and jumped in a game. It was a bidding/push-your-luck game where you had to guess how many of a certain symbol or color there was on all the cards in every player's hand. Bidding would go up until someone would say "You Gotta Be Kitten Me!" and the players would then count that item. If the player's bid was correct the person calling them out would lose a card, if the bid was over, that player would lose a card. The last player with cards remaining won. The game wasn't very good, but the company made up for it.
Not long afterward, walking around the exhibit hall, we saw a demo for Schrödinger's Cats. We stopped because my wife loves cute animal-themed games, and listened to the pitch -- and were really surprised to hear it was about a bidding-push-your-luck game that played almost identical to You Gotta Be Kitten Me! What are the odds that we would find two nearly identical cat-themed card games back to back? And what happened to doing market research before publishing? For the record, BoardGameGeek says Schrödinger's Cats came first, being first released in 2015.
Devon suggested finding Chip Beauvais so the kids could play Chroma Cubes, the "roll and color" game he designed. So we did. Of course, a game revolving around rolling colorful dice and coloring in pictures with crayons was a big hit with the kids -- as well as the adults at the table -- and I can't wait until this one hits Kickstarter next year, as it's a no-brainer for my household.
At this point, it was nearing lunchtime, and we headed toward the food court. We passed the Alpha Build room (a.k.a. The Unpub room) on the way, and Ben corralled us into a playtest of Shapes: The Game. The game involved drawing cards and stacking the oddly shaped pieces referenced on those cards onto a triangular base. Unlike, Junk Art, there was only one ruleset, and all the players played to the same base. This made the game more interactive, but otherwise it felt similar. It was fun, but I am not sure there is a market for another block stacking game. Even so, we all had fun playing it, and I wish the designer the best of luck with it.
My son and I had tickets for a learn to play Pokemon: The Card Game, so we were a bit pressed for time, and made the mistake of eating at the extremely overpriced food court. The pricing and food quality were similar to professional sports stadiums, but it did allow us to get back to the hall in time for the Pokemon Master Trainer to teach my son and a half dozen other kids how to be Pokemon trainers. The game was better than I expected, and the event came with a deck of Pokemon cards. Of course, I need to buy another deck so we can play together, but Christmas is around the corner, and I have a Pikachu deck on its way for us.
While the kids were still having fun trying all these games and walking around, they were also getting a bit tired. To be honest, after three days, so was I. So we agreed to walk around the exhibit hall for one more hour, get the kids each a game, and then head home.
My daughter pulled me over to the Beasts of Balance demo, which she had tried while I was learning the Pokemon game with my son. The game was a stacking game that was heavily integrated with an app. The cool toy factor on this one was off the charts, as it sensed which animals and other pieces you stacked on the base, and modified the game goals and points accordingly. I was spared the kids asking me to drop $80 on it only because it was already sold out.
Another demo we tried out that had a high toy factor was Maze Racers, which gives each player a white board and a set of rectangular pieces made of foam and magnets, and allows them to create a maze. When each player has created one -- which can be timed -- they switch and see who can solve the other's maze the quickest. We all loved this one, and my son asked to bring it home. As they only had two copies left, and we were leaving shortly, we bought it on the spot.
Our final demo of the day was at the Calliope booth, where my kids wanted to try Scott Almes' Dicey Peaks. This was a dice-based push-your-luck that reminded me of Zombie Dice with a few added elements, including a hex-based mountain to climb. The kids and I enjoyed it well enough, but I enjoyed my Friday demos of Capital City and Ancestree more.
My daughter, not swayed by any of the other demos she played, still wanted Duck! Duck! Go! as her convention purchase, so we swung by and picked it up on our way out of the convention hall. From there we headed back to the hotel and our car, out of Philadelphia and onto the New Jersey Turnpike, for our drive back home in Sunday evening traffic.
Overall, PAX Unplugged seemed well attended, but not overcrowded, and had a good, but subdued, publisher presence, as almost none of the pubs were pushing hot new games. The convention seemed tentative and lacking a firm identity; a golem without a soul. I look forward to seeing it evolve in future years, as publishers, designers, and convention goers -- both from the PAX crowd, and from the non-PAX board gaming community -- return with more concrete ideas and expectations from it, and infuse it with the life they want in return from it.

Early Life and Conversion
Pastor Chad Delhotal was born in Dixon, IL and was raised in nearby Franklin Grove. At the age of ten, he was invited by a friend to ride a a bus to a children's program at First Baptist Church of Amboy. There he heard the Gospel clearly preached. For the first time in his life, he realized that he was not good enough to get to Heaven on his own. After being heavily convicted by the Holy Spirit for the second week in a row, Chad finally responded to the invitation to trust Christ as his Savior and was born again.
Call to the Ministry
At the age of 16, while attending a week-long summer teen camp, Chad was convicted of the need to surrender his life to God. The last night of the camp, he finally relented and determined to follow God's plan for his life. Soon afterward, God impressed clearly on his heart that he was called to preach the gospel. After graduating from Fairhaven Baptist College, he married his high school sweet-heart LeeAnne Johnson on September 22, 2000. Since then, they have been blessed with four children who are all very active in the ministries of Heritage Baptist.
Previous Ministry Experience
While in college, Pastor Delhotal began traveling home on weekends to work as Youth Pastor and operate a bus route for the church in Amboy. After graduating, he added several other duties including teaching in the Christian school, directing the choir and eventually running the Reformers Unanimous addictions program.
July of 2007, Pastor Delhotal held the first morning service of what would later become Heritage Baptist Church and has been the pastor of Heritage since its founding, September 30, 2007.
Pastor Delhotal's life verses are Psalm 71:15-16:
"My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof. I will go in the strength of the Lord God: I will make mention of thy righteousness even of thine only."

This resource argues that the Turnbull Government's proposal to ban foreign donations and limit political contributions from charities is a flawed and rash proposal that would undermine democracy.
The Electoral Funding and Disclosure Reform bill seeks to ban foreign donations to political parties and their "associated entities". But it also seeks to capture organisations, including charities, that undertake public advocacy on policy issues.

Our Week in the Forest...
This week in the forest the children have explored the wonderful world of Autumn leaves. We have explored colour, shape and size whilst engaging in all sorts of imaginative play.
Many children have used this fabulous resource to cook various meals in the kitchen. The different coloured leaves became different ingredients as they mixed them together. As the children scooped, poured and mixed different forest goodies together it was amazing to see the collaboration that has evolved. Delicious multi-coloured cakes and cookies were cooked with many working together to achieve a shared goal.
On our walks into the forest throwing the leaves has been an extremely popular activity. The children observed the way the leaves floated around in the wind as they fell all around them. Many talked about finding the biggest or best leaf they could. The children then worked together to load up the wagon until it was completely full of leaves of every colour.
At base camp the children made sweepers using long and short sticks tied together. They then set about clearing different areas of the forest by pushing the leaves along the ground. Some made mud roads which soon became race tracks. Others enjoyed making huge piles of leaves to jump on, but most of all the children loved burying Tom under the leaves. The children worked in unison to gather as many leaves as possible to pile up leaves over Tom until he could no longer be seen at all.
We are looking forward to seeing what the children will decide to do with this wonderful forest resource next week.
Have a lovely weekend!

I get to talk about Children's Books? HELL YES. I've always been a huge bookworm, and all my best reading memories come from my childhood. I remember how I used to spend most of my lunch break at the library, reading a bunch of Amelia Bedelia and Goosebumps books. Gah. Really miss those times.
The Witches by Roald Dahl
I picked this one up at a school book fair because I liked the title. Come on, who wouldn't want to read a book called The Witches? Unlike a lot of people though, Roald Dahl books weren't a huge part of my childhood. In fact, this was the only Roald Dahl book I've ever read. It's simple and yet extremely entertaining. Plus the illustrations are super cute!
Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer
I adored Artemis Fowl when I was a kid. How can a 12-year-old be so cunning and clever? 12-year-old me was hella dumb. Maybe that was why I loved this. Young me was probably amazed that a kid my age could do all these amazing things that I could only dream of doing. Artemis' character development was pretty amazing, too! I remember young me just being so relieved when he actually began to show some compassion.
FableHaven by Brandon Mull
I have nothing but good memories of this book. Kendra and Seth goes off to spend their summer at their grandfather's house, only to find it's actually a secret haven for fairytale creatures. I think what drew me most to this book was the world and the mythology. They were just so, so enthralling to me. Of course, the characters were pretty cool as well! This was the book that made me realize I had a thing for cunning characters (a.k.a. Muriel), as well as ones that end in tragedy (a.k.a. Lena).
A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine L'Engle
Okay, so I had to read this for a book report back when I was in Middle School. Meg Murry is good at math, is described as plain, and has glasses. She doesn't fit in with the others. This was the first book I've ever read that featured such a protagonist. I had trouble fitting in as well, and this book really helped me get through tough times. It taught me that being true to myself is what's most important, that being different isn't necessarily a bad thing, and that ordinary people can also do extraordinary things.
The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
A book of all ages, one that resonates deeply with children and adults alike. I pretty much consider The Little Prince to be my "first official book." Prior to this, all I read were fairytale collections and those super short children's stories. This book is super important to me always, always have a special place in my heart. This was the book that allowed me to dream, to discover, and to learn.

Google Cast for Education first Look...
Finally the wait is over! Over for teachers having to open incognito windows to have students log in for presentations! If you've ever used a Chromecast in the past, Google Cast for Education will be VERY intuitive. Coming this fall (now in open beta), Google Cast for Edu allows students to share their screens with the presenter (teacher) connected to their classroom projector. The great thing about this are the following:
- Students don't have to log into their teacher's computer.
- Students don't have to connect their device to the projector.
- Teacher has full control over who is allowed to 'take over' and present on the teacher's device for all to see.
The Basics:
Come fall 2016, it'll be quite easy to get Google Cast for Edu up and running. You'll only need a couple of items taken care of first with regards to Chrome Apps/Extensions. And perhaps the most important of these items is to make sure that your Chrome Web Browser is at its most up to date version!
Teacher: On the teacher end, teachers will need to add the Google Cast for Education chrome app found here.
Launching the Google Cast for Edu app opens a window that can be customized to display images (Vs. a boring plain background that is standard). Here you can customized the Room location name as well as manage who you would like to have the ability to share their screens with you (don't forget you still have the same great permissions options as in all GAFE!
Students (or your GAFE admin): On student devices, the Google Cast extension needs to be installed. This extension allows students to select the host computer to which they want to present on. You can do this by either 1. Clicking on the Google Cast Extension. Or 2. selecting "Cast" from the Chrome menu (Hamburger/pancakes icon in the top right of your Chrome browser window.
Option 1:
Option 2:
Students select the device they want to connect to, wait for it... And then they connect! Google recommends you title the connected (to projector) devices be labeled as the Room #s. I would recommend that as well!
All of this, fairly simple to get up and running come Fall 2016. However, if you'd like to play with Google Cast for Edu today, there are a few things you'll have to tweak to make things work right.
The Beta Setup
Again, first things first, make sure your Chrome browser/Chromebook is up to date! Follow the installations outlined above for both the App (teacher) and the student extension.
Next, you'll have to ensure that your media-router flag is set to "Enabled" on ALL devices that you will be using this. To proceed, copy, then paste into your omnibox the following string, chrome:flags/#media-router to jump straight to the Chrome setting. Open the drop down and make sure that it is enabled.
Once these steps have been completed, you should be good to go! Ensure that you are on the same wireless network (Ts and Ss) and cast on!
If you have any questions regarding setting this up for your class, please don't hesitate to reach out! I'd be happy to help you get started casting screens!
Notes: (updated regularly)
- Initially, it took some time for the student devices to discover the host. Suggest running through troubleshooting wireless bands (2.4ghz vs 5hz)
- Don't forget to update your Chrome browser! Consider showing users how to do this if needed.
- There may be a delay between initiating a share from the student device, getting the notification on the teacher device, and then having content presented on the screen after the teacher approves of the connection.
- Initially, the image for incoming streams comes in at a lower quality. This usually resolves itself within a few seconds.

The rains started at the beginning of the month with daily showers, they then petered out and November was, on the whole, dry with beautiful sunny days. In fact November was probably the hottest and driest month in the Triangle since the Conservancy started operating in 2001. It would appear that the short rains will be well below normal throughout the country. These are the most reliable rains in most areas of northern and eastern Kenya. The virtual failure will mean widespread crop failure with massive famine relief requirements. In the Mara we are already being put under pressure by illegal grazers and the situation will not improve until we receive expected rains in December and January.
M/s Triad Architects, our landlords for the Nairobi Office, increased the office rent from Ksh 27,000 per month to Ksh 45,000 per month. The matter was discussed at our Board meeting and it was agreed that we try and negotiate the price down to Ksh 40,000 per month. This was done and Triad have agreed to our requested rate.
We held a series of meeting with the community and local administration on insecurity in and around Kawai and it was resolved that the Chiefs would evict a number of known undesirables and loiterers from Kawai and a village known as Kisumu Ndogo, near Olonana Camp by the end of November.
The Chief Executive met with Dr Malte Sommerlatte on the 28th to discuss his facilitating work on a ten year management plan.
The Chief Executive met with Mr George Orr of Earthview on the 29th to discuss commissions and contractual issues.
The referendum on 21st November overwhelmingly rejected the draft constitution and led to the President sacking the whole cabinet. A new cabinet will be appointed in early December.
The majority of wildebeest started moving South with the onset of the light rain at the beginning of November. However, several large herds remained along the escarpment, in the south-western corner near Ngiro-are and around the salt lick. There have been huge concentrations around the salt-lick over the past two weeks. Two prides of lions have taken up residence in the swamp and ambush animals as the come down to drink.
The cheetah with cubs lost them early in the month. We have seen fewer cheetah in the Triangle this year than at any time since the Conservancy started operating. This is partly because the cheetah concentrated on the open plains in the Lemai Wedge in the Serengeti between February and May and then never returned into the Triangle. At present we are only seeing four males and one female on a regular basis.
There was a lioness with cubs along the same ridge and it is assumed that she found and killed the cheetah cubs. The lioness with three small cubs near Mara Bridge lost of her cubs to buffalo on the 14th. Three buffalo bulls had been seen close to the lions all day and in the evening they were seen to charge and attack a bush in which the cubs were hidden. The lioness was seen to be carrying to dead cub soon after.
There have been reports of zebra deaths on the escarpment, a least six were reported in a one week period. We have requested that the community inform us a any recent deaths so that we can take samples. Ms Asuka Takita, a recently qualified veterinarian has volunteered to look into the problem with these zebra and is due to arrive at the beginning of December for a week.
The Chief Executive took five days off from the 15th.
Mr E Nkoitoi took is annual leave in November and is due to return in mid-December.
We held a pre-wedding fundraising for Ms Jane Kipas on the 30th and raised approximately Ksh 180,000.
Mara Serena continued to run at over 90% occupancy for November and the prognosis for the next six months is for sustained high levels of occupancy.
One client from Mara Serena died of a heart attack on the 24th. The body was flown out the same day. Our condolences to the family.
Table 1 shows day visitors into and out of the Mara Triangle from other parts of the Mara in November
A total of 8 poachers were arrested during the month. This brings the total arrests to 471 since June 2001. 192 wire snares were recovered during the month.
146 wire snares were recovered by the Ngiro-are team on the 2nd. They had all been set between the escarpment and the Ngiro-are swamp in Tanzania. 6 wildebeest were saved from the snares and one died.
Two wa Kuria poachers were arrested by the Ngiro-are team on the 3rd at Nyakita Pembe in Tanzania. Five of them had arrived that morning and had .not started hunting. Five wire snares were recovered
The Serena team arrested one poacher, out of a group pf four, on the night of the 4th at 10.30. They had just killed a wildebeest in a snare and were in the process of butchering it when accosted. Four wire snares were recovered.
One wa Kuria poacher was arrested on the morning of the 7th, at 6.00 am. He was leaving the Serengeti after hunting. Five wire snares were recovered.
One a Kuria poacher was arrested on the night of the 5th by the Serena team well into Tanzania, beyond Nyakita Pembe at about 11.00 pm. Three wire snares were recovered and one wildebeest found dead in a snare, two other wildebeest were rescued.
Two tents at Kichwa Tembo were robbed on the night of the 13th. The thieves broke in whilst the guests were having dinner and stole clothing and a few other personal items. We brought in a dog from Mugie Ranch to follow the thieves and the tracks were lost in a Masai homestead. There was no proof linking anyone in the homestead to the robbery and we subsequently heard that three strangers had been seen in the area the previous day.
One poacher was arrested on the night of the 17th by the Ngiro-are team at 7.20 pm; one spear and one sword were recovered.
Two wa Kuria poachers were arrested by the Ngiro-are team on the night of the 19th. This followed finding 6 wire snares during a routine patrol and setting an ambush in the area. Four wildebeest were found in the snares and one of them released.
23 wire snares were recovered from along the escarpment by the Ngiro-are team on the 24th.
We completed the staff canteen and kitchen at Serena.
We tiled the staff toilets at Serena.
We modified the workshop/store at our Serena offices and put in an inspection pit for vehicles.
The grader completed all the drainage in preparation for the rains.
The tractor was awaiting a spare brake cylinder for the whole month. In the end we imported the spare directly from England and fitted it on the 30th. The fact that the tractor was not working for the whole month halted a lot of the ongoing projects and meant that we were not able to murram sections as we had hoped.
We re-covered all the office chairs in the Warden's office and Oloololo Gate and repaired all canvas covers for the vehicles.
Mara Serena have completed their toilet and rest area at the Serena Airstrip and it was commissioned towards the end of November.
Revenue and Accounts
The following table summarises income and expenditure for the period June through September. As can be seen from the table, actual revenue was up by 7% on budget and expenditure was down by a similar amount. This places us in a reasonably healthy position to see us through the low season and maintain a balance in the event that we do not sign a new management agreement and have to make staff redundant on the expiry of our current agreement in June 2006.
Report on focus for November
Focus for December
· Use tractor to murram bad sections;
· Service grader in preparation for next season;
· Earthview Audit;
· Receive and circulate 1994/5 Audit;
· Plan for developing 10 year management plan;

Dalton Schoolreview by Harvey Mudd College student. Dalton's biggest strength is definitely its teachers. Because of the Dalton plan, students have complete access to their teachers' time, and most students take full advantage of this. The school definitely has much more in depth English and History programs. Students tend not to do as well on standardized tests in math and science. This is partly because the seminar style classes are much more conducive to discussion based subjects. Dalton prepared me very well for my humanities and social sciences classes at college, but not at all well for my maths and science classes. The class sizes are never larger than 18, and a lot of senior electives have closer to 12 students. My largest class size was 18 and my smallest was 4. The average work load is very heavy, mostly with reading. Although there is preceptorial assistance available, student's greatest resources are his teachers. The teachers are always willing to help you out if you find your workload too challenging or not challenging enough.
Although Dalton has a very strong.… Get the real inside story on college couseling at Dalton School, LOGIN or SIGN UPSample insights on college counseling

The school has its own 12 story building with excellent facilities, and a separate gym building. The library is huge with a gorgeous view, and there are computers for students to use all over the building. The upper east side is a very safe neighborhood. The cafeteria has great food, although most students still prefer to go out for lunch. The administrators are a total joke and don't do anything. I would characterize the student body as indifferent. Most students get along with each other just fine, and there isn't really a clique problem, most students just don't really care what is happening at school. We have better things to do. The liberal attitude of the schools pretty much allows the students to do whatever and leave whenever, which the students take advantage of.
Dalton does a very good job at allowing its students to balance school life with extra curriculars. Students get hour and twenty minute lunches so student groups meet then. Dalton has all of the typical activities (government, newspaper, yearbook, literary magazine, political groups, ethnic groups, sports, etc.). There is a community service requirement at Dalton which is essentially 80 hours over four years. One of the more popular activities was Model UN. Most students probably spend 10 hours a week on extra curriculars. Most students end up fairly well rounded.

Getting to know... Has Label Turkey
This month we have decided to find out more about our Turkish customer Has Label, based in Gunesli – Istanbul. This company has actually just started label production this year and in fact they have installed two Prati Saturn TE 430 machines in their modernized and environmentally friendly factory. Their motto is "maximizing customer satisfaction".
They have been satisfying customers from different firms since 1995 and now they can boast of offering from the production to the design and the delivery of complete label packages including woven, printed self-adhesive labels and hangtags in the cosmetics, shampoo and liquid soap sectors, amongst others.
One of the Directors, Nazan Akbulut, informed us that they are the approved label producer of Nike, Next, H&M, New Yorker Group and Street One. We asked why such important brands have chosen Has Label, and the reply was easy: "We provide a high level of specialization on branding as well as product exclusivity and correct pricing and excellent service". We then went on to ask about their relationship with Prati, and they confirmed : "Prati Company is the perfect partner in the labeling sector thanks to their professional, personalized service and to their technologically advanced solutions."
We then asked another Has Label Director, Recep Hasoglu, to tell us something more about the Has Label production: "Here at Has Label, we produce high quality woven labels, then, all the cutting and folding, ultrasonic cutting, laser-die cutting processes are carefully carried out in our plant.
What is more, we offer our customers complete branding concepts that are tailor-made with worldwide distribution & short delivery times. Our designers are specialized in the development of graphic concepts for fashion, offering unique and distinctive features for your products. So, thanks to these effective and creative solutions we can help you to reach your potential customer and form your visual communication."
Has Label's other Directors Yilmaz Hasoglu, Nilufer Aydinlar and Yavuz Hasoglu are confident that this new partnership with Prati Company will be fruitful, because both companies have the same philosophy that is all based on excellence in terms of quality machinery and professional service. So, here's to a long and successful business partnership between Prati Company and Has Label!
We are pleased to announce PRATI HYBRID TECHNOLOGY DAYS.
The event takes place in Faenza from the 11th to 13th of June - 9 a.m. to 17 p.m.

Hi !
I am Dr. Rujit Desai (M.D.S) a dentist by profession and specifically interested in Astrology. I have spent hours reading lots of books and have studied lots of charts of friends, friends of friends, relatives, close ones and of those received through this platform.
The blog is a direct manifestation with aim of not getting followers but at its deepest level of making notes for myself. With the vast quality and unending extent of Astrological information it became a need for me to make notes – So i can save them at a place where it can be accessed anywhere without getting lost. Plus making notes help me remember better and make my memory sharper.
Sometimes with such a lot of information I often wonder if this so called Astrologers (No offence !) even know or remember such wide variety of concepts and by far its applications on the chart. Being at active student and a doctor I myself at times feel overwhelmed by the astrological information !
So, one of the way I found was to save my notes as blog – FOR MYSELF and keep the vast knowledge fresh. But, why not share the knowledge and make it easy for new comer to learn astrology – As once I was – TOTALLY BAFFLED. I have learnt Tarot as passion AND HAD POSTPONED READING ASTROLOGY for more than a year just with a thought IT WAS JUST TOO DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND.
But then it started and with continuous reading and studying charts after and in between free times of clinic hours and late nights – with 3 years of study of astrology and with more than 15000 views of this blog – this side perks are a thrill – while the quest for astrological quest will continue – Rahu in the 1st house ! 🙂
Thank you for your support !
If you wish to contact me fill in the details and I will reply you as time permits. Thanks.

It's time for Book Journey's fabulous weekly posting "It's Monday! What Are You Reading?"
So I took a little summer vacation at the site. I hope you having all been doing well and having good reading weeks. This week I am reading and planning to finish J. Courtney Sullivan's The Engagements. I'm more than halfway through and I'm finding the style and the stories interesting and at times, very enjoyable. I have a line-up of other books to read – some beachy reads and some review books. I'm not sure what I will dive into first.
It is already August, can you believe it?! How are you doing on your summer reading goals? I could be doing better, but it's the summer, and I have been enjoy it.
Here are my last few weeks in review:

Kyorin Holdings, Inc.
Kaken Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
Kyorin Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Head office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President: Mitsutomo Miyashita, "Kyorin"), a wholly owned subsidiary of KYORIN Holdings, Inc. (Head office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President: Minoru Hogawa), and Kaken Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Head office: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, President: Tetsuo Onuma, "Kaken") have signed a Contract regarding the co-promotion by the two companies (1 brand and 1 channel) of the anti-allergic therapeutic agent "desloratadine (generic name)" that Kyorin has the exclusive right to market in Japan.
MSD K.K. (Head office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Jannie Oosthuizen, "MSD") is now waiting for the marketing approval for "desloratadine" as described below, and Kyorin will exclusively distribute it after it is approved. While Kyorin will try to quickly spread the use of the product by mainly doctors and medical facilities in the respiratory and otolaryngology areas, based on this Contract, Kaken will conduct promotions aimed at doctors and medical facilities in the dermatological area, and receive a certain amount of the promotion fees from Kyorin.
Kyorin has the exclusive right to market "desloratadine" in Japan under a contract with an affiliated company of MSD (released in May 2016).
Kyorin is promoting a franchised customer strategy (with a focus on respiratory, otolaryngology, and urology diseases), and aims to enhance its presence in these focused areas. Through the co-promotion with Kaken, Kyorin expects to fully maximize the spread of the products.
Kaken will actively promote "desloratadine," positioning this opportunity as a means of cooperation to enhance its presence in the area of dermatology, one of its focused areas.
[Reference for desloratadine]
Desloratadine was submitted for marketing approval in October 2015 in Japan as a novel and second generation histamine H1-receptor antagonist for indications such as allergic rhinitis, hives, and itching caused by skin diseases (eczema/dermatitis, pruritus cutaneous). Desloratadine has already been approved in more than 120 countries, including the United States and countries in Europe.

So what is Open Banking?
The idea behind Open Banking is to open up possibilities for you, offering you easier access to different choices about how you bank.
It's designed to allow smaller and newer financial services providers to compete more easily with the bigger banks, and to encourage the bigger banks to continue to improve what they offer too.
You can now choose to share pieces of your first direct 1st Account information through Open Banking with other financial services providers. This could enable you to use different services, like seeing your accounts from different banks in one place or using price comparison sites to get a better idea of what current accounts might be best for you. You don't have to share any details through Open Banking if you don't want to. You're in control.
But if you do authorise your bank to share current account information via secure Open Banking, it could:
- save you time when shopping around for financial services and other products, like utilities, with no need to enter information multiple times
- use your data to ensure you receive more personal, more relevant quotes
- allow you to manage many or all of your accounts using innovative money management tools; and as Open Banking develops, it could extend to other financial services like loans and credit cards
- give you a new way to pay at online checkouts, straight from your bank account.

text: Day 29 - 30 Day Challenge. This challenge is proof positive that "time flies." The month of January, which usually drags a little, has just jetted by. Every day has been a challenge (some more than others). Someone said to me that coming up with a new idea every day would be the most difficult part…and they were right. I began with a theme in mind, but it didn't take long to be done with that so I've explored several different subjects. Of course, florals have always been my default, so today I painted an exuberant bouquet for you all to enjoy. It's all transparent watercolor. What I love is that you can achieve such brilliant color from a traditionally pale and watery medium. You just have to "dig deep" in those wells of color. Sometimes it's really good to dig deep.

|Account type
|Minimum deposit
|Minimum trade size
|Maximum leverage
|Standard $
|1.4 pips on EUR/USD, variable
There is only one standard type of trading account at OANDA. On the one hand, this limits clients' choice; on the other, it means that all account holders are treated equally.
To make things even better, this broker doesn't require any minimum deposit, nor minimum trade size. However, you need to have at least $1 in your account balance in order to initiate a trade.
OANDA is one of the pioneer online forex brokers. Established back in 1996, It is now a large group with offices in Toronto, San Francisco, New York, London, Singapore, Tokyo, and Sydney. ALL group companies are duly regulated by the relevant authorities in the US, Singapore, Canada, the UK, Japan and Australia.
OANDA offers Internet-based forex trading and currency information services to both retail and institutional customers. The broker is a market maker, having one of the largest currency databases in the world. Its product portfolio includes forex, index, commodity & bond CFDs, as well as precious metals.
OANDA Corporation is a registered Futures Commission Merchant and Retail Foreign Exchange Dealer with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and is a member of the National Futures Association.
Brokers that are registered with the NFA are obliged to comply with an extensive set of rules. Unfortunately, these rules are often limiting from traders' point of view, but there is no way around them. For instance, hedging is not allowed and leverage is limited to 1:50, while European brokers are free to provide leverages up to 1:1000 or even higher than that.
Besides, NFA-registered brokers are required to maintain a net capital of at least $20 million to guarantee customers' positions, which makes them super safe to invest with. Similar minimum capital requirements apply in most jurisdictions, for instance UK-based brokers are obliged to hold at least 730 000 EUR in order to prove their financial stability, and Australian ones must possess a minimum of $ 1 million in order to operate legitimately.
All OANDA Subsidiaries, including OANDA Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. (Singapore), OANDA (Canada) Corporation ULC (Canada), OANDA Europe Limited (UK), OANDA Japan Inc. (Japan) and OANDA Australia Pty Ltd. (Australia) are duly licensed and regulated by the respective bodies.
Minimum Initial Deposit
OANDA has no minimum deposit requirements for opening an account. This makes it attractive for risk averse or inexperienced traders who are not willing to invest a large amount of money.
Most brokers require a certain minimum initial deposit in order to cover the costs related to opening a new account. For instance, Forex.com demands $250 from its clients to start with, and FXCM - $50.
Average spreads & Commissions
This broker offers variable spreads, the average ones on EUR/USD amounting to 1.4 pips, which is on the upper end of average. Clients, however, take advantage of commission-free trading, as OANDA doesn't charge any commission for their trading services, nor any account maintenance fees. Instead, the broker gets its remuneration through the spread.
In comparison, FOREX.com, also a global FSA-regulated broker and market maker, offers average spread of 1.8 pips on EUR/USD and also charges no commission fees. You may look up real-time spread of 15 leading brokers here.
Maximum Leverage
OANDA offers a maximum leverage level of 1:50 on FX products, which is quite low, however, the broker has no choice, since US regulator has set a limitation on leverage ratios. CFTC limits leverage available to retail forex traders in the United States to 1:50 on major currency pairs and 20:1 for all others.
If you need higher leverage, you can pick a broker, who offers leverage ratios of 1:500 and exceeding 1:500 from this list. We advise traders to exercise caution when using higher leverage levels, for such rates may not only multiply their earnings on a small deposit, but also lead to heavy losses in excess of the initial investments made.
Oanda provides its clients with a choice of threetrading platforms: its custom-made fxTrade, Protrader Multi-Connect (PTMC) and the popular MetaTrader 4.
fxTrade comes in desktop, web and mobile versions. It has a simple, yet effective interface, and what is more important – superb execution speed. According to OANDA`s website, this platform executes 98% of trades within 0.057 seconds or less, which is super-fast.
Furthermore, fxTrade is equipped with intuitive and powerful charting features, multiple sub-accounts to test different trading strategies and financial news and market analysis from leading news providers.
We presume that fxTrade is aimed mostly at new traders, since it has all the usual functionalities, but more advanced features are missing.

Oanda recently added to its platforrms line up Protrader, developed by PFSOFT. Protrader offers everything regular forex trading platforms do: Advanced charts and technical analysis, indicators, various order types, customization options, and auto trading options. In fact, Protrader has created AlgoStudio - a professional algorithmic strategy development tool. It enables users to test different types of data aggregation: time, ticks, range, Renko, LineBreak, etc.
In addition, Oanda offers the powerful MetaTrader 4, which is highly regarded by the online trading community mostly because it allows users to fully automate their trades. By choosing from a wide range of Expert Advisors (EAs), traders may sit back, while the program does all the work. What is more, it offers a number of technical indicators, extensive back-testing environment and advanced charting package. Here is a list of more forex brokers offering MT4 platform.
In addition, fxTrade bridges directly to MetaTrader 4 using custom-built technology, which we find useful.
OANDA offers its clients various methods to deposit/withdraw funds to and from their accounts. They vary, depending on the OANDA division of registration, but the main payment modes are debit/credit card, bank wire, checks, PayPal and UnionPay.
OANDA is a leading global forex broker, offering online trading in a wide range of currency pairs, CFDs and precious metals under attractive conditions. To sum up the above, here are the advantages and disadvantages of this broker:

**only applies for BTC trading. There is a 0.20% fee on altcoin trading.
BTCBOX is a Japanese cryptocurrency exchange. They operate from the domain btcbox.co.jp and should not be confused with btcbox.in – a platform which supposedly provides "free Bitcoin", but has received multiple negative reviews. The distinction is quite important as the Japanese exchange appears to be a very reputable one.
FSA Licensed – BTCBOX is the eight cryptocurrency company to be overseen by the Japanese Financial Services Agency (JFSA). This brings a lot of credibility to their offer, as not a lot of Bitcoin exchanges are regulated by a reputable financial watchdog. They also provide information about the actual company behind the project and their banking partners. While this sounds natural for a regulated company, it isn't always the case with shadier trading venues. Two-factor verification is also provided.
Decent fees, BTC is free – trading Bitcoin at BTCBOX comes without any costs. That being said, altcoin traders will be charged a 0.20% fee. This applies both for market "makers" (the people who place passive orders in the book) and "takers" (the ones who buy or sell at the best price available). This is pretty much the standard at this point in time – not too high, but also not too low, when compared to the competition.
No deposit fees – there are no deposit fees on blockchain transfers to BTCBOX. Additionally the company does not charge anything extra on bank transfers. While certain costs will be involved in either form of deposit (be they mining or banking), the company does not take anything extra.
1:3 in leverage – BTCBOX is one of the few exchanges to facilitate margin trading. However, according to company policy each trader willing to borrow coins will have to be processed manually. This means it could be hours or even day before you are approved to receive it. This can definitely be an issue for aggressive traders, who are willing to jump on a chart setup. They will be much better suited with a forex broker.
As you may already know a lot of these more traditional financial companies have started providing Bitcoin (and altcoin) trading. This is achieved via CFDs, which is slightly different than setting up a cryptocurrency exchange. In essence you only speculate with the price of the given coin, without owning it. For more information, check the full guide.
Japanese banking support – BTCBOX accepts Japanese Yen deposits. This makes them a great entry-level exchange for the locals.
>>Buy Bitcoin with a credit card<<
Two trading platforms – trading at this exchange is done via two interfaces. One of them is rather simple and rather nice. Additionally, a more "professional" version is also available. It offers solid charting and is arranged even more conveniently. Here is the preview (click to zoom in):
Focus on Japan – while English and Chinese versions of the website, this is still an exchange primarily oriented towards Japan. We are not certain if the support will be up to par with the one provided by other companies (although basically everyone has received negative comments on this point).
Margin is not instant – the fact margin has to be provided to clients on an individual basis can be troubling. We haven't tested the service, but just by reading the terms we expect delays to be quite possible.
Only four coins available – the short list of digital assets available at BTCBOX includes: BTC, BCH, LTC and ETH. Volumes on the ones other than Bitcoin are rather low.
Trading only against JPY – this is another thing limiting non-Japanese clients. It's just company policy and there is nothing wrong with that, but we must mention it.
Withdrawal fees present – while they are small, these fees may irritate some users. The Bitcoin one is 0.001BTC.
No user reviews in English – BTCBOX doesn't appear to be popular in the West. This is to be expected, given the previous factors.
BTCBOX is a Japanese cryptocurrency exchange, which is regulated by the Financial Services Agency (JFSA). This makes them a much more credible company than most of the competition. They provide access to Japanese customers to the world of crypto, as they even accept bank transfers. That being said, they may not be the ideal trading venue for a foreigner.
While this is a highly regulated exchange, the world of cryptocurrencies still carries a level of risk. If you are only looking to speculate with the price of Bitcoin, doing so with a forex broker may be preferable. View the link below for more details on the way regulation for forex brokers, offering Bitcoin works.
>>Regulated Bitcoin forex brokers<<
Here is the summary of BTCBOX:
|FSA Licensed
|Focus on Japan
|Decent fees, BTC is free
|Margin is not instant
|No deposit fees
|Only four coins available
|1:3 in leverage
|Trading only against JPY
|Japanese banking support
|Withdrawal fees present
|Two trading platforms
|No user reviews in English

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Technology stocks ended negatively Thursday, ignoring a surprise upward revision in the gross domestic product to focus on downbeat news coming out of Gateway, Genesis Microchip and Riverstone.
The Nasdaq Composite Index $COMPQ was down 20.36 to 1,731.52. Its 100 largest member companies, as represented by the Nasdaq 100 NDX, +0.00%, dipped by 1.4 percent. QQQ QQQ, +1.59%, a security reflecting the Nasdaq 100, couldn't hold onto its gains and slipped by 62 cents to $33.78.
Techs initially got a boost from an upward revision in the fourth-quarter gross domestic product to 1.4 percent from the previously reported 0.2 percent increase. Economists had expected a 0.9 percent gain. The GDP gain was spurred by steep incentives to buy cars, which drove consumer spending up 6 percent. See full story.
But the drag from negative corporate news overcame upbeat economic news.
Genesis Microchip GNSS plunged by 43 percent to $23.49 after the integrated circuit maker said late Wednesday that after its merger with Sage, sales for the third quarter would be $55 million. For the fourth quarter, Genesis expects sales to exceed $60 million. CIBC World Markets downgraded the stock to "buy" from "strong buy," and dropped the price target to $45 from $85. The broker said the company's current projections "implies material dilution to current consensus estimates." See full story.
Riverstone Networks RSTN dropped by 50 percent to $3.82 after disclosing that fourth-quarter earnings would fall short of expectations, citing a deterioration in market conditions. The company said it would cut its work force as part of a plan to reduce expenses by 10 percent in its first quarter. Riverstone plans to take charges of about $26 million to $30 million in the fourth quarter as a result. For the quarter ending February, it expects to break even or post a small pro-forma loss on sales of $50 million to $54 million. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial/First Call are currently expecting earnings of 4 cents a share on revenue of $64.7 million.
Networking stocks as a whole were down 1 percent, as measured by the Amex Networking Index NWX, +0.00%. Genesis and Riverstone are not components of the index.
Cisco CSCO, +3.28% pared earlier gains to end the day up 3 cents to $14.27. It was the most active issue on the Nasdaq, with more than 101 million shares changing hands. On Wednesday, the stock fell by 8 percent after Wachovia Securities reduced its revenue and earnings estimates for the networking giant.
Juniper Networks JNPR, +0.84% slid by 19 cents to $9.32. Nortel Networks NT dipped 9 cents to $5.07 and Lucent LU tacked on 7 cents to $5.56.
In hardware, Gateway GTW shares dropped by 50 cents, or almost 10 percent, to $4.60. During the PC maker's analyst meeting Wednesday, it disclosed that first-quarter revenue would come in at $940 million to $1 billion and result in a pre-tax loss, excluding charges, of $100 million to $120 million. Analysts had been predicting a loss of 8 cents a share on revenue of $1.06 billion, on average. Gross margins are expected to be around 14 percent to 15 percent. Also, the company confirmed it would record a charge of $75 million to $100 million due to previously announced restructuring actions. However, CFO Joe Burke said he expects to be profitable again in 2003. See story.
Gateway was one of biggest decliners in the Goldman Sachs Hardware Index GHA, +0.00%, which was down 2.1 percent.
Agilent Technologies A, +0.94% was the top gainer in hardware. Shares were up 2 percent to $31.15. Latest news: Alain Couder, its chief operating officer, has resigned effective March 1, to become an executive at another firm. Bill Sullivan, senior vice president and general manager of Agilent's semiconductor products group, replaces him. Sullivan joined Hewlett-Packard, which spun Agilent off in 1999, in 1976. Dick Chang, vice president and general manager of the network systems division, will fill in for Sullivan.
Elsewhere in hardware: IBM IBM, +0.96% rose by 29 cents to $98.12. Dell DELL, +1.28% lost 58 cents to $24.69 and Apple AAPL, +1.86% slid 26 cents to $21.70. Sun Microsystems SUNW, +0.24% dropped by 15 cents to $8.51.
Compaq CPQ lost 6 cents to $10.14 while potential merger partner Hewlett-Packard HWP tacked on 9 cents to $20.12. The latest development: Board member Walter Hewlett said that H-P's analyst meeting confirms that company is strong and doesn't need a merger with Compaq. See full story.
Software stocks dropped by 2.5 percent, as reflected in the Goldman Sachs Software Index GSO.
Microsoft MSFT, +1.67% lost 5 cents to $58.34. As scheduled, the Justice Department filed a revised Microsoft antitrust settlement agreement with a federal court. The changes come in response to public comments on the settlement received by the Justice Department as part of a legally mandated review. In a separate filing, Microsoft said it agreed to the changes, which it described as a "few refinements in the language" designed to make the settlement "clearer to third parties." See full story.
Oracle ORCL, +0.52% tacked on 25 cents to $16.62. Computer Associates CA, +0.13% slid by 82 cents to $16.28. I2 Technologies ITWO dipped 23 cents to $5.45.
Internet issues were lower by 0.8 percent, according to the Goldman Sachs Internet Index GIN, +0.33%.
EBay EBAY, +0.92% shares were up 6 percent to $52.05, as the top gainer in the index. Morgan Stanley upgraded the stock to "strong buy" from outperform." Analyst Mary Meeker said EBay's category expansion and fixed price efforts continue to gain traction, and is anticipating international growth of 125 percent in 2002.
AOL Time Warner AOL, +0.00% was up $1.05 to $24.80 on the growing belief that its business prospects would improve as the economy strengthens. See story. It was a turnaround from last week, when a Lehman Bros. analyst's comments about AOL's slowing growth prompted a sell off in the stock.
Yahoo YHOO lost 9 cents to $14.46. Amazon.com AMZN, +1.31% slid 17 cents to $14.10.
In the chip sector, Altera ALTR, -1.23% was down 92 cents to $19.07. On Wednesday, the company said it expects first-quarter sales to increase by 3 to 5 percent over the previous quarter. The previous outlook called for a broader range of 1 to 5 percent. Analysts expect Altera to post sales of $167.3 million. The company also said the ratio of incoming orders to sales remains above 1, continuing the trend of the last two months in the fourth quarter. That business has been in line with earlier forecasts for the quarter. Gross margins will be in the 60 percent range, as was previously projected.
The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index SOX, +1.87% dipped by 3 percent.
Intel INTC, +1.57% lost $1.34 to $28.55. Advanced Micro Devices AMD, +0.96% slid 52 cents to $13.50.
Rambus RMBS, +1.39% dipped by 34 cents to $6.85 and Motorola MOT declined by 50 cents to $13.
