I don't know about you but for me summer is officially over when august comes to an end and september kicks in. I have never been a summer person and I never will be, I just hate the heat. So the fact that the weather is already getting little colder everyday and I am able to wear tights and combat boots makes me squeak. While everyone else still enjoys last days of the summer and make finds from last chance sales my head is up and towards the new fall collections. I can't wait to see what this years autumn fashion has to offer.
Dress – Monki | Boots – DinSko | Backpack – Michael Kors | Bomber jacket – Bershka
For me fall fashion is all about comfines and beautiful colors such as mustard, mocha, khaki and black. I love big sweaters, loose dresses, and black tights. The dress I am wearing is perfect example for what I wear during autumn, it's comfy, loose, oversized and of course black. So basically it screams for fall. The frill detail that goes around the waist is my favorite part of it, it gives the dress nice shape not making it look too oversized and big for me.
As I already mentioned combat boots and black tights are my thing during fall so no surprise that I matched them with this dress. All black everything once again. But hey I tried to bring little something into the outfit by wearing my new glasses and my beloved Daniel Wellington pieces. At least I tried right?
PS. Are you already on fall mood like I am or still holding onto the last of summer?

Subscribe To Coco Box Office: Pixar's Latest Wins Again Updates
Hollywood didn't have a ton of new entries to offer this week, as studios were content to let Coco (week two) and Justice League (week three) fight it out again. Just like last time, Coco finished the weekend on top by just under ten million dollars, though the grosses this time around were a whole lot smaller. You can check out all the estimates in the chart below...
Both Coco and Justice League are a good reminder of how important expectations and budgets are when analyzing box office performance. By nearly any measure, both of these movies are extremely popular. Each will go down as one of the most popular movies of the entire year, but just being among the five or ten percent of the most popular movies of the year isn't enough for either Pixar or Warner Bros to celebrate. After three weekends, Justice League still hasn't passed two hundred million dollars domestically. To put that in context, Batman V Superman was up to almost three hundred million after its third weekend. So, it's a hit, but it's definitely not what the studio dreamed up.
Neither is Coco, at least from a profit standpoint so far. For comparison, The Incredibles was up to almost one hundred and fifty million after its second weekend. Given it's at ninety-seven percent on Rotten Tomatoes and here at CinemaBlend, we called it "a joy to watch", however, it's certainly hard to put a negative spin on Coco. In fact, given the good word of mouth, it's probably best to wait on any monetary judgments until the film completes its run. As a general rule, fun movies tend to have longer shelf lives, like that time Rocky IV won six consecutive weekends or that time Home Alone won twelve in a row. And Coco is a crowd-pleaser.
There are quite a few movies we could talk about here, but given we've been talking about expectations, let's focus on Murder On The Orient Express. The latest adaptation of Agatha Christie's second most famous novel--number one has to be And Then There Were None, right?-- was a source of speculation ahead of its premiere four weeks ago. Was there an appetite for a slow burn mystery like this? Well, the answer is apparently "seems like it". The whodunit picked up nearly seven million more domestically this weekend, which puts it well over the two hundred million mark worldwide. That's a solid return on a fifty-five million dollar budget, and it's apparently enough for the studio to commit to another round of Hercule Poirot. Next up will be Death On The Nile, which depending on how one feels about Murder Of Roger Ackroyd, is probably Christie's third or fourth most famous novel.
Just a few more things worth mentioning: Both The Disaster Artist and Titanic showed up in the top fifteen this week, with the former grabbing the twelfth spot and the latter the fourteenth. The Disaster Artist opened in just nineteen theaters and Titanic topped out at eighty-seven. Still, it's worth noting that it's a good sign for James Franco's movie that it was able to top a million dollars with such little effort, and it's, of course, also a good reminder that people still frigging love Titanic. Remember earlier when I shouted out Rocky IV and Home Alone for winning so many weekends in a row? Well, Titanic won fifteen weekends during its run. I don't care what the haters say. That movie is awesome, even if she let go.

Deontay Wilder has reportedly been offered a three-fight $100 million deal by DAZN to defend his WBC title against Dominic Breazeale before taking on Anthony Joshua at the end of the year.
The Bronze Bomber, along with managers Shelly Finkel and Al Haymon, met with the streaming service on Tuesday in New York to discuss a possible deal, and details of the figures involved have started to leak out.
It was initially suggested that DAZN had offered Wilder $50m (£42m) for two fights against AJ – or £21m per fight – but it could actually be closer to double that amount.
FOX Sports' Mike Coppinger claims the offer is actually a three-fight deal worth $100m (£84m), with Finkel saying that the money on the table is 'in that ballpark'.
The breakdown of the deal would see Wilder earn $20m for facing Breazeale in his mandatory title defence before a unification fight against Joshua in November or December of this year.

CIndy Crawford does cocktails in Miami
Recently returned from George Clooney's Italian wedding extravanganza, Cindy Crawford was spotted enjoying brunch with friends Saturday and Sunday on Steak 954's outdoor terrace. Hubby Rande Gerber, whose Whiskey Blue is located at the W Fort Lauderdale, was also there, in town for biz. The couple headed south for a dinner Sunday at Makoto. While at the Bal Harbour hot spot, the couple ordered cocktails made with Casamigos Tequila, Gerber's boozy collaboration with businessman Mike Meldman and Clooney. When the cocktails arrived, Crawford sipped it and said, "This is good, but it's not Casamigos." The drinks were quickly remixed and returned to high approval ratings.

I don't know what the weather was like near you yesterday, but for us it was HOT! We got into the 90s, and it was very sunny all day. Good thing I have a high tolerance for the heat!
We spent the morning at SOWA, a craft market/farmer's market/food truck festival that happens every Sunday from May – October. It's awesome! Then, we took a short drive to Allston to grab some bubble tea at Kung Fu Tea. It was fun to be back in my "old neighborhood" – when I was attending college at Boston University, I moved off campus for my last two years and got an apartment with a friend in Allston.
This mural definitely wasn't there when I was living in the neighborhood- it's so cool!

Eurozone Q3 GDP Release ... Looking Forward
As has happened before here at Alpha.Sources I am going to break one of my promises; this one made this Friday. The concrete promise was that I would prepare a longer forward looking note on the Eurozone economy. I have not exactly collected enough firepower yet to do that although of course two main issues have been taken up a lot of words here at this space recently epitomized by the rather violent move in the EUR/USD as well as the outlook of a general slowdown in the Eurozone. In this entry we are of course, with the Q3 GDP figures, discussing the latter topic. Before I get into the actual outlook on Eurozone Q3 GDP which are out as preliminary figures on Wednesday (Germany's figures are out on Tuesday; see economic calendar here) and potential market implications I want to note a couple of general sources and references on the Eurozone economy. First off, I want to recommend my colleague and friend Edward Hugh's Eurozone Economy Watch which posts regularly updates and brief analyses on the evolution of the Eurozone economy and its economies. This blog also sometimes features my own analyses on the Eurozone economy. Secondly, I also want to note RGE's new kid on the blog in the form of the Europe Economonitor. At this point I won't do extensive plugging which will be the subject of the next installment in my ongoing series of 'recent additions to my blogroll.' At this point it suffices to say that the blog launched by RGE fields a remarkable array of specialists and intelligent commentators on Europe's economy. To be sure, this is already a benchmark for Eurozone commentary and economic analysis so be sure to bookmark it for later reference. Thirdly and lastly, I want to mention a rather programmatic paper from the ECB's research department. On the face of it the paper's subject look rather dull but clearly as a Eurozone watcher it is close to a must read. Quite simply, the paper fields an overview an analysis of the data methodology as well as general accuracy of the data published on the Eurozone economy. It's overall conclusion is this ...
Overall, the evidence presented in this paper suggests that euro area data releases have generally shown a very small or no bias and have been more stable than those for individual euro area countries. Furthermore, recent euro area data show levels of revisions similar to those of the past, or levels of revisions that stabilised after the implementation of harmonised statistical concepts had largely been completed.
But really, the paper is a good general read.
Having dealt with these introductory statements let us have a look at those Q3 GDP numbers shall we? In order to set the scene it might be an idea to revisit my entry on the Q2 GDP figures as they were released back in August and consequently some visuals on where we actually stand
As we can see the Eurozone GDP took a hefty knock in Q2 slumbering to a 0.3% q-o-q growth rate where especially Italy's contribution of 0.1% should be watched closely since the number Italy is able to churn out this time around may tell us a whole lot about the prospects of a near recession in Italy as we move forward. In general as I also wrote back in August the slowdown to 0.3% on aggregate from Q1's more speedy 0.7% seemed a bit stark which is also why I hinted that Q3 figures should improve if only slightly. To be exact this is what I said;
As we can see the Eurozone has steadily slowed from a stellar performance in Q4 2006 to a much more meager performance in Q2 2007 as with a quarterly growth rate at only 0.3% on the back of 0.6/0.7% (depending on statistical measurements) in Q1 2007. In this light and even though I had indeed expected an aggregate slowdown 0.3% seems a bit stark and on that note I do expect the quarterly figures for Q3 2007 to improve but only slightly. Another possibility would be for the current GDP estimate to be adjusted upwards at a later stage.
Since there has been no revision we should expect aggregate Eurozone growth to come out a bit above 0.3%. The general consensus seems to be for Germany moving from 0.3% to 0.5% thus driving the Eurozone aggregate to that same number (0.5%). From BHF-Bank Economics Department (via FXstreet.com);
German GDP growth probably accelerated to about 0.5% quarter-on-quarter in Q3 2007. Output in the producing sector increased as well as retail sales. On 14 November, Destatis (the German Federal Statistical Office) is publishing a "flash release" on German GDP; a detailed breakdown of the components will follow on 22 November. So far, private consumption and net exports are likely to have had a favourable impact on overall GDP growth, with strong exports and imports. Investment in machinery and equipment probably contributed positively too. Changes in inventories and investment in buildings could have had a positive effect as well. French and Italian GDP are likely to have gained momentum in Q3 too. As a result, EMU GDP is expected to have increased by about 0.5% quarter-on-quarter in Q3. The EU Commission's GDP growth forecasts are not likely to be revised significantly.
I am not at odds with this general forecast although I do think that the probability of a 0.4% growth rate is significantly higher than the upside which would be 0.6% but we will see soon enough. However, there are many important qualifiers to be attached. As for the general outlook a quarterly growth rate of 0.5% as a Eurozone aggregate would translate into an annualised growth rate of 2% flat; yet this assumes that Q4 also sees 0.5% growth q-o-q which I think is considerably more unlikely. In short; the Eurozone is almost certainly looking at below 2% in 2007 which really does bring back the whole reliability of the goldilocks discussion and whether in fact not the porridge is turning rather cold at this point. Moreover, we need to remember the fact that I have been at pains to hammer down again and again in the sense that the Eurozone is not one single economy. Especially, I want to emphasise the risk that Italy might already flirting with recession fulfilling the ill-earned role of the Eurozone's main whipping boy when times turn. Yet, and to add further to the potential downside for Italy other downsides are lurking. The external environment is riddled with uncertainty and this is having a very clear transmission effect into the financial markets where the new buzz word of the day 'credit crisis' still seems to be carrying a hefty echo in the halls of many a financial institution. As an important derivative effect of this we are also witnessing a widespread construction and housing correction in Europe where especially countries such as Ireland and Spain seem destined to come down from what admittedly also have been very high (growth) horses recently. Finally however, it seems as if the locomotive of the Eurozone Germany is also entering much more choppy waters something which, if confirmed, could clearly move the whole edifice closer to a standstill. Sebastian Dullien has a relevant analysis on the before mentioned Europe Economonitor in which he notes the following;
Moreover, the growth rate of roughly 2 percent in both the forecast from the council of economic advisors as well as the EU commission is only reached by assuming finally a robust pick-up in consumption demand. While there are some signs that German consumption indeed is improving (car sales seem to have picked up lately and retail sales have recovered from the VAT shock in January), so far, it is far from being a growth engine. Real consumption is forecast by the Sachverständigenrat to slightly shrink in 2007 compared to 2006, mainly as a result of the VAT hike earlier this year. For 2008, now the experts have penciled in an increase by 2.0 percent. Given the new record for energy prices, it is a risky bet to base the hope for a decent growth in 2008 almost entirely on a recovery of the German consumption demand, a component that has not grown by 2 percent or more since 2000 and that has continued to disappoint over the past years and has on average not grown between 2002 and 2006.
In contrast, both drivers of the German recovery in 2006 and 2007 are set to be almost disfunctional in 2008: Given the recent rise of the euro to a record high and the slowdown in the US and Japan, export growth is set to slow.
Of course and not in any ways to blow my own horn, whistle or whatever this is the kind of effect (alongside others) me and my colleagues have been ostensibly warning about ever since that illusive Q4 GDP reading seemed to throw the collective mass of economic analysts and commentators into a world of goldilocks where VAT hikes, interest rate increases, and a slowing US had absolutely no effect whatsoever on the Eurozone economic momentum. What remains to be seen now is the extent of the coming slowdown. At this point I would like to stress it is still too early to really call it. As for concrete forecasts Eric Chaney from Morgan Stanley recently put Q4 07 and Q1 08 to 0.4% q-o-q but he is also at pains to point out that this constitutes a somewhat optimistic call. If however, the numbers fielded above turn out to be correct it will translate into a 1.9% aggregate growth rate for 2007. I am not that optimistic and I am closer to 1.7% but this is really also number salad since if we go back to the beginning of 2007 we clearly see that the forecasts fielded at that time was pretty much off the mark and also somewhat more than could traditionally have been expected due to the obvious fact that none of us can see into future.
Market implications?
To put it in very few words we now have on our hands, is a lot of downside and very little upside. In general I am looking for three things. Firstly, Italy (and also Greece and Portugal) needs to be watched closely since my feeling is that these countries might very well take a hard knock as the first economies in line. This will then bring all kinds of issues of debt/fiscal deficits and structural reforms to the forefront not to mention those much unwanted debt downgradings. Secondly, I am also watching the EUR/USD, not so much because I want to make quick money but rather because, as I have argued before, it is beginning to look increasingly more as if global liquidity is moving rather quickly in accordance with the notion of de-coupling and re-balancing. I don't want to roll out my argument here but people need to think about new causal relationships and interlinks; e.g. something along the lines of how comments made by Chinese monetary officials might end up influencing whether Italy (or Portugal or Greece for that matter) stays in the Eurozone or not. Thirdly, I am also watching the Eastern European countries VERY closely since a byproduct of this EUR/USD show is that the pegs are being pushed to the limit; add to this all the other inbuilt economic issues as they have been described at length here we are looking at a potential very inflammable situation. Inflation numbers on the Baltics in the coming week will confirm I think beyond any doubt that this is moving rapidly towards an endpoint which does not look.
As for the formal market implications the current rather volatile environment makes for many a potential analysts to come off as very smart but also, as it were, to end up looking like blatant fools. For the record; I don't see the ECB taking it to 4.25% in 2007 and I don't think the EUR/USD will rise beyond and close to 1.50. However, those predictions might soon be proven wrong (the latter as soon as later today), so please don't bet money, if at all, on this.

When using both compensation in control (G41/G42) and ramping for 2D contour, the ramp toolpath will also use compensation in control.

2D Pocket operation
For most applications, the Face strategy is the most appropriate option for facing a part, as this provides a very efficient toolpath for clearing an area with a large cutter. In some cases, however, it may be beneficial to use an alternative strategy for facing, and for this reason it is very easy to set up both the 2D Pocket and 2D Adaptive strategies to face a part.
HSMXpress Screenshot
HSMXpress essentially is HSMWorks 2D now. The MachineWorks-based solid verification is disabled simply because it js licensed from another company so we cannot give it away. However, HSMWorks has it's own 64-bit Solids based verification (Right click, Show Stock in Simulate) which is very good and continues to be developed. HSMXpress does not include Multi-axis machining or verification.
When machining outer corners, it may be necessary to avoid rolling around the corner in order to leave the corner perfectly sharp.
The 2D Contour can machine outer corners in three different ways, controlled by the Outer Corner Mode parameter, which has the following settings:
Roll around cornerKeeps contact with the corner throughout the motion.
Keep sharp cornerContinues the toolpath to a single point corner, loosing contact with the material temporarily.
Keep sharp corner with loopLike Keep sharp corner, but also performs a horizontal lead-out and lead in at the corner.
For 2D contour and pocket toolpaths you have the option to disable the feed height, which causes the tool to rapid down to the lead-in. Simply pick the Disabled option from the Feed height drop down.
Feed height Disabled setting
Enable this setting to start pocket clearing with a slot along its middle before continuing with spiral motion towards the pocket wall.This feature can be used to reduce linking motion at corners for some pockets.

When selecting geometry for the 2D Contour strategy you may want to start the toolpath further away from the model than what you can directly select on the geometry.The following screenshot shows an example without any extensions.

If you have a sketch containing multiple contours, it is possible to choose a subset of these by using SolidWorks' Select Chain function.
Simply right-click on a sketch segment in the sketch, and choose Select Chain. Keeping Ctrl pressed will add the chain to the existing selection.

John Mayer Supporting Shia LaBeouf On Twitter Is Confusing But Oddly Heartwarming
While we were all still trying to figure out whether or not Shia LaBeouf's latest stunts are for real or not, John Mayer was weighing in on the Nymphomaniac star's antics. The former World's Biggest Jerk, who's since rehabilitated his image, officially threw his support behind the current Biggest Jerk on Tuesday night with a series of tweets on his recently reactivated Twitter account. Mayer, whose heart really seems to be in the right place on this, tweeted three times "Re: Shia" about why it's okay for the star to be acting out the way he is. Bizarre, yes, but we can't help but think "aww" about his act of brotherly love to a fellow Hollywood bad boy.
Mayer might be the best person (other than the original life-as-bizarre-performance-art perpetrator, Joaquin Phoenix) to comment on and offer a hand to LaBeouf. The Paradise Valley singer spent a significant amount of the mid-to-late 2000s being Hollywood's "bad boy", the ultimate kiss-and-tell boyfriend, and all around worst person ever. (Ugh, that Playboy interview in 2010.) Thankfully, Mayer's recovered and is now happily in an adorable (if not nauseating) relationship with Katy Perry — I guess now that he's on the "other side" of his Hollywood breakdown he can extend support to others with their own plights.
Here are Mayer's tweet regarding Shia LaBeouf's latest dramatic "performance art":
Preach it, Mayer, because you're making some really great points here about figuring out what one's place in the world is all about via whatever means necessary. And we'll be sad to see his prophetic moment end up being in vain when Shia reveals that this was all one big, huge joke on the world.
Either way, it's heartwarming to see a guy who's been there go out on a limb (while pretty much everyone else is making fun of Shia/wishing he would just shut up) to support the guy currently wearing the World's Biggest Jerk crown proudly. It's also great to see John Mayer seeming older and wiser not that he's past his phase, just saying.
Keep preaching, John Mayer, because we're listening.

One recent Thursday, the cold and cloudy afternoon blew me into the bookstore. I don't normally allow myself to be blown into the bookstore on Thursday afternoons, when there are to-do lists to conquer. But while I'm most comfortable being productive and focused and disciplined, I also know that in times of transition, you must follow your nose. In times of transition (and this is a big one for me, as I've just moved to a new city and Liga Masiva has just been joyously completed), I've learned that you must listen to the passions that tug at your heart, whether they say to take a bath, take a job, or go to the bookstore.
Recently, I'd been following that feeling and moving towards things that felt wild and fascinating and new, but also completely disconnected: progressive education, and Lean Startup methodology, and models for collaborative organizational structures. Among my explorations, I had come across three things that had perked my internal ears:
- Ken Robinson's TED talks on education. I wasn't so much bowled over by what he had to say, as I've been studying many of those concepts in dusty old books by Dewey, bell hooks, Paolo Friere, and Maria Montessori. But I was intrigued that he had managed to package the ideas in a way that made sense to large audiences and constructed a career around precisely that.
- SARK. As January 1st rolled around, I was doing strategic planning in my usual medium-- colored markers and reams of white paper. Suddenly I had this déjà vu moment and I remembered a series of books written in that same medium-- colored marker journals by the writer SARK. They're the types of books you're 80% embarrassed to be seen reading but 100% inspired by, in their unabashed authenticity and tenderness.
- Seth Godin's latest. Seth Godin has been a personal inspiration, a professional beacon, and an unfailing example of integrity. His books may be the "same old Seth Godin thing" but that thing always dashes me over with new ideas and energy for bold action.
So, back to the bookstore. I'm always a little shy to march up to the information desk and share my most recent longings in the form of books I'm looking for. But I was in a hurry, so I asked the guy at the desk if we could direct me to the different sections of the books I was looking for. After a moment's thought, he looked back at me and said "Well, they're all in the same section." I squinted skeptically at him, as I was pretty sure he must have gotten something wrong-- these three books are very different and I imagined would be in such far-flung sections as Education, Business, and Self Improvement. "Yep," he said, "They're all in our Creativity section, right behind you to the left." I was just turning away to find the section when the information guy stuck his arm in front of me. "High five?" he asked.
Creativity. A topic I never considered an interest of mine, suddenly seemed to be at the root or nexus of what my nose has been seeking out for the past several months. Creativity? Creativity like crochet, and make-your-own-necklace kits, and finger paints? Hmm. Hopefully not. Hopefully it's creativity like Anita Roddick, IDEO, and my little niece painting something magenta-colored and indechipherable and then declaring it a "family of chinchillas." I was at once intrigued, shaken, grateful, and embarrassed to have the thing that had been obsessing me named, so simply.
In the days and weeks following my bookstore visit, things have started coming together. Creativity is about using your ideas and imagination to make something new. It's about making art in the Seth Godin sense of the word. And looking back, it's the common thread in everything I've ever been passionate about. I feel so strongly this is important because creativity and the pursuit of creating art is precisely what has been educated and worked out of us. It's my own privilege and responsibility and struggle and act of grace to move towards this every day. And I think it's my calling to help other folks do the same.
So, the question I am living right now is: how can I create spaces for people to become more of who they are through creativity? What would the spaces that best support people in making art (again, in the Seth Godin sense that doesn't usually involve painting or clay) look like? How can I experiment, Lean Startup-style and make a prototype to understand what people want and need in relation to this?
I've got one experiment developing and I am going to share that with you all in the coming days. But in the meantime, I invite you to ask yourself the same questions I've been asking:
If there was one section in the book store for all the books you long to read, what would it be called... and is there a way that you can pursue that thing with focus and wild abandon?
And most importantly, how can you make art today, right now, right here?

Teacher : "Electrical energy is equivalent to power of the electrical appliance multiplied by time of electricity consumption, I repeat again, electrical energy is equivalent to power of the electrical appliance multiplied by time of electricity consumption…."
Student was intently looking and nodding his head
Teacher: "What is energy again?"
Student: "Energy is vast teacher, how can I explain it in a sentence?"
Teacher: ????
A scenario in class which makes me laugh till today. I could have rephrased the question I suppose. Well, I just assumed that the student understood my question since he was intently focusing on my explanation (which can be pretty dramatic with my hand gestures and all). How will you be able to analyse the student's ability to learn and listen? At that moment, I was literally fuming thinking, what on earth is wrong with him…Now, coming to think of it….I realized that he was pretty smart in diverting the question..LOL!! Which brings us back to today's topic. How to concentrate on something that you could not be bothered about? (I shall not deny that energy is extremely important to know and you should never ignore knowing about it!) Based on my personal experience, I have listed some ways to help you out..
- The fact that you need to know that topic in order to get good grades in that particular subject is undeniable!! Always remember that you are not in a position (momentarily) to choose what you like and dislike (when it comes to compulsory subjects to be taken), hence just "accept the hardship" and pull through. Plainly, you DON'T HAVE A CHOICE JUST YET!
- Look at the bigger picture. If you don't like a particular subject, try to link its importance to you. For example, if you would like to become a biochemist, but you don't like hydrocarbons, try to see yourself everyday being the biochemist you'd wish to be and soon you will realize the importance of mastering the topic. You could also read about your chosen career and plan ahead. This will definitely block your disinterest.
- Create a connection between the subject and your daily activities. A good example would be about knowing energy. Why do we need to know the various types of energy out there? Simple! It is because we utilize it every single second! Even the basic activities in life requires the consumption of energy right? Try to find a connection of the subjects you learn to your daily life
- Create a study timetable and STICK to it. Be realistic about your routine and prepare a schedule where you could follow, and follow you must! with discipline. This will naturally include the subjects you don't like as well. Be motivated to pick up the dreaded textbook and finish revising the topic because you have to do so. Use your timetable as a motivation.
- Create study groups If you find yourself diverting your attention too much when you're alone. I totally understand that you can't turn off your Insta and Whatsapp and all while studying, can you? 🙂 you might miss liking a picture or commenting or alerting your friend about a post!! Anyways, form group studies with friends "who are as motivated as you are" and please….pledge to switch the whatever apps or better still switch your phone off before studying.
- Create a healthy competition. Don't get me wrong but remember I told you that all these points are based on my personal experience? We used to be study freaks. Which means we compete for higher grades in class. Please don't be overly competitive. The idea is to compare your monthly grades with whoever the class topper is and be on par with him or her in the next exam. (I am not being mean, this is just for MOTIVATION purpose only!)
- Try to get some food or beverage that increases your concentration.I used to drink hot chocolate because I feel good about indulging in it and I will attain an unexplained inner peace after consuming it. Once that is achieved, anything I read or memorize, sticks in my brain for a long term. You could try anything like that, maybe orange yogurt, avocados, passion fruit, Lays chips…literally anything…but do not binge in it….again the idea is to be in peace before you start studying THAT subject.
I hope these ways help. Catch you again sometime soon…

Breastfeeding may improve nocturnal sleep and reduce infantile colic: Potential role of breast milk melatonin
- 2.1k Downloads
- Citations
Melatonin is secreted during the night in adults but not in infants. It has a hypnotic effect as well as a relaxing effect on the smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal tract. It is plausible that breast milk, which consists of melatonin, may have an effect on improving infants' sleep and reducing infantile colic. Our first goal was to assess the differences in the prevalence and severity of infantile colic and nocturnal sleep between breast-fed infants and supplement-fed infants. The second was to characterize the profile of melatonin secretion in human breast milk compared to artificial formulas. Ninety-four mothers of healthy 2 to 4-month-old infants filled a questionnaire regarding irritability/potential infantile colic and sleep characteristics. For the second part, we measured melatonin levels in breast milk of five women every 2 h during 24 h and in three samples of commonly used artificial formulas. Exclusively breast-fed infants had a significantly lower incidence of colic attacks (p = 0.04), lower severity of irritability attacks (p = 0.03), and a trend for longer nocturnal sleep duration (p = 0.06). Melatonin in human milk showed a clear circadian curve and was unmeasurable in all artificial milks. Conclusions. Exclusive breastfeeding is associated with reduced irritability/colic and a tendency toward longer nocturnal sleep. Breast milk (nocturnal) consists of substantial melatonin levels, whereas artificial formulas do not. We speculate that melatonin which is supplied to the infant via breast milk plays a role in improving sleep and reducing colic in breast-fed infants compared to formula-fed ones.

Iran and the Hezbollah aren't too unhappy with Donald Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Contrary to what Donald Trump said, America's recognition of Jerusalem is anything but the 'recognition of reality'. More than recognition of an illegal occupation, it is an ignorance of ground realities whose effects reach regions far from the lands that Israelis and Palestinians claim.
Jingoistic fervors, both in Israel and the US, might lead one to construe the recognition of Jerusalem as one that advances Israel's interest in the region and marks a significant step toward assurances of Israeli sovereignty but that is hardly the case. Trump's recognition of Jerusalem threatens the Israeli cause and undermines the progress it has made over the years to get closer to Arab nations in the region, particularly Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia, in various regional conflicts, had more or less become an Israeli ally. Both nations were fighting the same war in Syria on the same side, leading some experts to believe that it was time for the US to step out of the picture and let the Saudis and Israelis negotiate their own terms and strategies. Such a move from the United States might have been particularly fruitful since Muhammad Bin Salman; the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia is rearranging alliances both within and without the Saudi borders. For a young Crown Prince who already on his résumé has plans to introduce a 'moderate version of Islam' and ideas to address Saudi's over-reliance on oil exports, aiming for diplomatic ties with the Israelis wouldn't have been the most obvious breakaway from traditional Saudi stances. Trump's decision sabotages any such plans no matter how close to execution they might have been since Saudi, a self-avowed 'custodian of Holy Mosques' cannot be seen as an appeasing force while its' regional foe Iran uses Trump's decision to justify its' backing of Hezbollah, the greatest threat to Israel and the Saudi supremacy.
The circumstances surrounding the recognition of Jerusalem bear a close resemblance to an earlier incident when Trump sent out a tweet in which he declared that Rex Tillerson was 'wasting his time' negotiating with the North Koreans while Tillerson was negotiating with the North Koreans. Once again, while Tillerson is busy negotiating with the Lebanese Government to counter the rising Hezbollah influence, Trump has triggered a chain of events that 'castrates him on the world stage' and wins Hezbollah many supporters both within Lebanon and beyond.
Lebanon has a very fragile and complex political structure that would strengthen and stabilize only if Hezbollah is weakened and destabilized but Trump's decision on Jerusalem accomplishes the opposite. Just in the last month alone, through efforts and diplomacy of the French President, Emanuel Macron, Lebanon successfully evaded a probable civil war. The last thing the Middle East needs right now is another Yemen-like proxy war that results in deaths of thousands of civilians through bombing and starvation.
Hezbollah is the greatest regional threat to Israel and Iran the greatest regional threat to Saudi Arabia's regional supremacy. By recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital, in the eyes of Muslims, Trump has legitimized Iran's support for Hezbollah. It is not only detrimental to the Saudis, America's chief Middle Eastern allies but it also helps the recruiting efforts of Hezbollah, addressing which should be a higher priority for any US administration than recognizing Jerusalem.
In various proxy wars across the region between Iran and Saudi Arabia, the Iranians have been largely successful on the battlefields but their efforts to rile up political and ideological support in the Arab and Muslim world have not been fruitful. As a result of Trump's decision, that could change since in the eyes of the Muslim world, ultimately Iran's stance that America's involvement in Middle Eastern disputes is counterproductive has proven to be the correct one. And given how close the Saudis are to the US, it will only embolden anti-Saudi sentiment in the region, which has been on the rise given their treatment of Yemenis.
Furthermore, Saudis have failed along with the United States, to force a regime change in Syria, an Iranian ally that provides political support to Hezbollah in Lebanon. Israel is also militarily engaged in the Syrian civil war and last when they dropped bombs on Syrian Government forces, the reaction from the Arab world against Israel bombing a Muslim state was not nearly as great as one would have expected just a few years ago but going forward any Israeli offense against Syria will now receive a significant blowback. This hinders Israel's ability to fight on the same fronts as Saudis and through military alliances, lay down the groundwork for diplomatic ties.
America's decision was so mistimed and out of line that Israelis, who usually spend millions of dollars in lobbying for their interests, were not even asking for it. They were willing to wait for a better time and dare I say, a better administration.🔷

Top 10 Signs Niagara Falls Comic Con Is Almost Here
To nerds, there's an electric nip in the air that feels like Max Dillon's Man Cave.
To the rest of you, it just feels warmer.
I feel sorry for you. But I'm not supposed to say things like that to your face, so forget I mentioned it. My point – and yes, I do have one, thank you very much, is this: Con season is almost here and if you live in the Niagara Region the first weekend in June is when your Summer, like Christina Bale in his first outing in the cowl, truly begins.
In other words, Niagara Falls Comic Con is almost here and I'm as giddy as a Skrull in Avengers Tower. Because… well, Skrulls are shape-shifters and he could become any Avenger he wanted to be… and have access to secrets… aw, forget it. Here are ten tell-tale signs Niagara Falls Comic Con, like Harley Quinn on Mister J, is almost on top of us.
ONE) Nerds are emerging from their parents' basements in record numbers. Of course, they need to in order to adjust their eyes to natural light. And yes, that was a cruel and stereotypical taunt but I'm willing to bet my entire run of Green Goblin comics that you're laughing right now.
TWO) Batman coin banks are being smashed open like Negan's victim's skull on The Walking Dead. Cons require major coin – and we're not all Starks or Waynes. And so many a fanperson's secret stash is being emptied in anticipation of a geeky shopping spree like no other.
THREE) Celebrities you may not have seen for years are preparing to step back into the spotlight. I'll never take shots at stars that haven't worked in years; after all, they've already achieved more than I ever will. That said, a con is the best place to play, "Hey, I remember you!" This year we can look forward to seeing Michael Winslow from Police Academy, Tom Wopat, a couple of Power Rangers and more stars than I saw the last time my wife punched me in the face. Even TMZ can't gather celebrities in one place like a comic convention.
Oh, and I was kidding about the wife punching me in the face.
She always goes for the man berries…
FOUR) If you listen real close, you can hear the familiar groan of the TARDIS. Peter Davison, the fifth iteration of the Doctor will be joining the fun this year. ("Doctor who?", you ask? Exactly.) Good times from the Time Stream. Incidentally, in case anyoen is wondering (and you know you are) Davison's TARDIS is truly old school, so that's why it takes so long to materialize.
FIVE) My wife is rolling her eyes pretty much non-stop. The wife isn't a fan of fandom – to say the least – so the closer we get to NFCC 2016, the more my daughter and I gush. This, of course, drives my wife around the bend, which is nice. Yes, my wife and I have a complex relationship. Just think War of the Roses (Google it, kids) mixed with all the passion of any Ginger Lynn film.
SIX) Businesses around the ScotiaBank Convention Centre are steeling themselves for the nerdy onslaught. Never mind "Winter is Coming", the big buzz phrase in Niagara is "The Nerds Are Coming – And They're Bringing Their Cash With Them". NFCC means BIG BUCKS in the coffers of local businesses; between hotels, parking lots, restaurants and even taxis, Niagara Falls proprietors sees an upswing that would make Peter Parker jealous. (You'd have to be nuts to bring your personal Batmobile to the Scotiabank Convention Centre on the weekend of June 3 – 5, friends. Traffic on Stanley Avenue makes the Grand Theft Auto series look like a walk in the park.)
SEVEN) My Spidey Senses are tingling. Yes, I have those. Shut up.
EIGHT) Con Preparedness Kits are being… prepared. Bottled water. Extra cash. Many large shopping bags. Extra cash. Really comfortable shoes. Extra cash. A notebook filled with all those rare treasures you want to purchase but always forget to look for. Extra cash. All of these items – especially extra cash – are being gathered as I type, kiddies. Make sure you have yours or be subject to ridicule.
NINE) Costumes are being adjusted one last time. Granted, most cosplayers need an entire year to prepare for a con but when you're a perfectionist, as most cosplayers are, you need every second to make sure the details are just-so.
TEN) All my favorite superhero Tees are laid out on my bed until I make that all-important selection. What can I say? I can't sew worth a damn.
And that's all I have for you today. Besides, you need to stop wasting time with me and get ready for Niagara Falls Comic Con 2016. You can't go into these things half-assed, you know. A comic con requires a whole-assed effort.
See you on the streets of Pulp Nation, friends…

Even Real Madrid were linked with him but ended up going back to Zidane. I think if United or Madrid would have made a serious attempt at getting him, he probably would have gone. I just don't think the interest was concrete enough for him to consider leaving. Timing is everything, if United hadn't given OGS the contract and gone for him in the summer, I think he would have left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bald Eagles are everywhere, including younger birds (3rd photo; takes 4-5 years before an adult Bald Eagle is completely white on head and tail); first photo: Wood Sandpiper in Adak, probably just arrived there, some actually breed on the island; last photo: Eurasian or Common Teal, which in all likelihood will be split off from Green-winged Teal. Can't count it as new quite yet!

He's been journeying on the 7/17 service for the last 3 months, and refers to many of the drivers as his new friends. He looks forward to seeing them all again in the half term holiday, but now he has to start school and won't be able to see them very often."Kieren, the drivers say bye bye for now, see you soon! - EYMS

New Books from Academy Fellows
There have been two recent publications from Academy Fellows. Andreas Demetriou, along with George Spanoudis, has released Growing minds: A Developmental theory of intelligence, brain, and education. Growing Minds is a unique and interdisciplinary work that guides the reader through an examination of the human mind's nature, performance, lifespan, and variations. Fernando M. Reimers & Connie K. Chung have edited Preparing Teachers to Educate Whole Students, which offers a wide-ranging comparative account of how innovative professional development programs across the globe guide and support teachers in their efforts to promote cognitive and socio-emotional growth in their students.
Growing minds: A Developmental theory of intelligence, brain, and education
This book is about the human mind. It presents research about the organization and development processes involved in the human mind and about the reasons that make some individuals better than others in using them. The book is organized in three parts. In the first part we summarize and evaluate research conducted on the human mind by three traditions of psychological research. The first is experimental cognitive psychology. This tradition identified mental processes such as attention, working memory, and reasoning and specified how they work in real time. The second is differential psychology. This tradition viewed mental processes as dimensions of individual differences and tried to identify how and why humans differ in using mental processes. The notion of general intelligence, IQ, and the tests that measure intelligence are achievements of this tradition. The third is developmental psychology. This tradition focused on the development of the human mind and intelligence throughout the life-span mapping mental possibilities in different phases of life and specifying mechanisms of their change.
Obviously, the individual mind is one and undivided. Humans use mental processes, some better than others, and they change as they grow. Thus, we will be able to fully understand the human mind only when we have a common theory specifying the mental processes involved, their organization and development, and why individuals differ in how fast they develop and how far they go. This theory is presented in the second part of the book. This part summarizes our research integrating the cognitive, the differential, and the developmental theory of the mind into an overarching model. This theory specifies the mental processes involved, maps their development and interactions from birth to early adulthood, and connects development and attainment with factors causing individual differences. This part also integrates our theory with several important lines of research focusing on the human mind from several distinct but related perspectives: personality development, genetic and cultural influences, and brain development. The aim is to show how mind and intelligence come at the crossroad of nature and nurture and flourish as the expression of unique individuals.
The third part is devoted to education. It summarizes research on how education influences intelligence and intellectual development and how intelligence sets the frame for education to exert its influences. It also presents experiments designed to augment intelligence. Finally, this section uses this knowledge to advance a complete program for augmenting all aspects of intelligence and enhancing critical thinking from birth to young adulthood.
The book is addressed to anyone interested in the human mind. However, there are several audiences that may have a special reason to read this book. First are the researchers of human intelligence and cognitive development. As noted above, the book presents a new theory of intelligence integrated with a theory of cognitive development. The book is also addressed to people in education, both teachers and education policy makers. The book may help teachers better organize their activities in the classroom taking into account the understanding possibilities and difficulties of students at different ages. The book is also addressed to brain scientists, because it presents a theory of brain organization and growth matching the mind organization and growth. Brain scientists may find a frame for both interpreting their findings and producing new ones. Finally, the book may be of interest to personality researchers as it presents research on the relations between intellectual development and personality development.
Intelligence, the official journal of the International Society for the Study of Intelligence and one of the top multidisciplinary journals publishing research on intelligence, recently published an extensive review of the book, written by Juan Pascual-Leone, the founder of the neo-Piagetian approach to cognitive development. Also, the book was selected by BookAuthority, an agency evaluating non-fiction books, as one of the top ten books of cognitive psychology published in 2018.
Preparing Teachers to Educate Whole Students: An International Comparative Study
Preparing Teachers to Educate Whole Students, edited by Fernando M. Reimers & Connie K. Chung, offers a wide-ranging comparative account of how innovative professional development programs in a number of countries guide and support teachers in their efforts to promote cognitive and socio-emotional growth in their students. The book focuses on holistic educational outcomes in an effort to better serve students in the twenty-first century and examines seven programs in all—in Chile, China, Colombia, India, Mexico, the United States, and Singapore.
The focus is on a pair of issues of great significance to educators throughout the world: the need to identify and promote a full range of competencies in students as they prepare for work and life in the twenty-first century, and the need to create and enhance professional development programs for teachers that will help them cultivate these competencies in their students. Preparing Teachers to Educate Whole Students offers a unique and helpful contribution to our understanding of fundamental educational goals and the professional development programs for teachers that aim to further those goals.

According to a Jump Start Media poll of hiring managers, 75% use LinkedIn, 48% use Facebook, and 26% use Twitter to research candidates before making job offers. Chris Russell, from Secrets of the Job Hunt, advises job hunters to "Start with one service, get comfortable with it, and branch out from there. The easiest, safest choice is LinkedIn because it has always been 100% business focused."
I concur with Chris' advice because LinkedIn is well known for helping people to find jobs, identify business partners, keep in touch with professional colleagues, and so much more. There are many excellent resources about how to use LinkedIn. One of my favorites is How to be a LinkedIn Superstar by Larry Weintraub (CEO of Fanscape, a leading Digital Engagement Marketing Agency).
Recently, LinkedIn has developed two new resources specifically geared towards helping recent college graduates find jobs. I strongly recommend these resources for '09 grads who want to network professionally in LinkedIn:
• LinkedIn '09 Grad Guide - a how to guide for establishing a network on LinkedIn.
• '09 Grads Group in LinkedIn - a LinkedIn group for learning from peers, educators, professionals, and the LinkedIn staff.
I suspect that LinkedIn will offer a similar guide and group for 2010+ grads as well. Good luck with your professional networking!

Have you heard of bonus accumulator slots? If not, there's a good reason why – bonus vultures caused them to disappear from casino floors.
Find out why as we cover accumulator slots, who bonus vultures are, and why they ruined everything.
What are Accumulator Slots?
As the name implies, these slot machines see you accumulate bonuses as you play. The bonuses are eventually released when they reach a certain point.
The exciting thing about these games is that they reward players for sticking with the same machine. Furthermore, accumulator machines add something to the slots world.
Who are Bonus Vultures?
The downside to accumulator slots is that they can easily be manipulated by obsessive players.
Bonus vultures hang around accumulator machines and wait for ones that are nearing the bonus payout.
In theory, this is a perfectly fine advantage play method. But the problem is that bonus vultures try coaxing people off their games.
How did Bonus Vultures Ruin Accumulators?
As you can imagine, not every recreational slots player likes being bothered.
This is especially true when a vulture is persistent in pushing somebody off a machine.
This caused fist fights in the casino on some occasions. In other instances, customers complained about the vultures to security and they were kicked out.
Casinos eventually got tired of dealing with these problems and took accumulator slot machines off their floors.
Can You Still Find Accumulator Slots?
Yes, but it's much rarer than it used to be. And when these machines are available, they're usually crowded by advantage and wannabe-advantage players.
We're not saying that you shouldn't look for accumulators when possible.
After all, these slots can be strategically played to deliver a long-term profit.
But my advice is to forget trying to make a profit through these machines. There aren't enough accumulator slots. And desperate players are usually hogging the few available ones.
