In a career of great games, Tom Brady puts up one of his best to reach 7th Super Bowl
FOXBORO - The perfect Tom Brady returned at the perfect time Sunday.
Brady wasn't good in the AFC Championship at Gillette Stadium. He was brilliant, even by Brady standards. He completed 32-of-42 passes for 384 yards and three touchdowns. The Patriots steamrolled the Steelers, 36-17, on their way to a record ninth Super Bowl and Tom Terrific is headed to a seventh appearance in the biggest game on the planet.
The man who was banished from the NFL for four games to start this one-of-a-kind journey in September is now on the game's biggest stage once again. Brady overcame the personal turmoil of the first four weeks and the creeping doubts of his playoff performances against the Broncos last January in Denver and Houston last week to prove once again he is the premier quarterback in the NFL. Brady is advancing. Aaron Rodgers will be watching Feb. 5.
"That's because of the hard work of a lot of people from my coaches to my teammates to our families that support us," Brady said. "It takes a lot of people, a lot of hard work and a lot of effort over the course of many months. This didn't start at 6:40 [Sunday kickoff]. This thing started in April.
"It really started before that in free agency when we were picking up guys like [Chris] Hogan and drafting guys like Malcolm Mitchell and guys who were in rehab like LG [LeGarrette Blount] and D-Lew [Dion Lewis] and Dev [James Develin] and Nate [Solder]. It's a lot of hard work. There are only two teams left standing and I'm happy we're one of them. That's what our goal is and it's nice to be able to achieve that."
From the moment he raced onto the field to his own anthem, Jay-Z's "PSA" the Steelers were toast. Brady pumped his fist twice to the crowd in the southeast corner of Gillette Stadium as several Steelers players stretched for the game.
They must've seen the look in his face close up and said to themselves, "We're in trouble, deep trouble."
"Yeah, he's no joke man. We knew what it was when we came in here," Steelers safety Mike Mitchell said afterward. "We were expecting to play the best. We play Ben [Roethlisberger] every day [in practice] so were were expecting a high-caliber fist fight. It doesn't get any better than [No.] 12. He is what we thought he was. We've got to take our hats off to him. He's a great quarterback. That's a great offense. They had our number tonight."
Mitchell can certainly speak from first-person experience Sunday. It was Mitchell that Chris Hogan left in his wake on his way to a 35-yard touchdown in the second quarter on a perfectly-executed and immaculately thrown flea-flicker pass from Brady.
"It's a good play," Mitchell said. "We hadn't seen it. We were expecting some type of trick plays, some type of like screen-and-go's and whatnot. The flea-flicker was a really good play by them."
"Yeah, he ripped us apart," Steeler defensive end Stephon Tuitt lamented after. "We didn't get there and he picked us apart."
That's nothing new, Stephon. Brady is now 5-0 lifetime against the Steelers at Gillette Stadium. In those five games, Brady is 141-for-196 (72 percent) for 1,797 yards (359.4 average), with 18 touchdowns and not a single interception.
On a night when the Patriots quarterback was set to make history as the first quarterback to reach a seventh Super Bowl, he was nearly perfect.
"I think Tom did pretty well. He did OK," Martellus Bennett joked, trying desperately to deadpan. "Tom did what Tom does. He's fired up and laser-focused. All the guys just came through for him to make plays when we had the opportunities."
"Tom did a good job of finding open guys," Bill Belichick said. "The whole offense played well. We had good execution, good protection, good spacing in the routes, a lot of good running after the catch, good throwing, good catching. Yeah, it was good offensive production."
The only time Brady was caught off guard was right before the opening kick, when the Patriots won the toss and decided to actually receive to start the game. Belichick must've known Brady was ready and he wanted his quarterback on the field right away. But Brady, who directed a field goal drive to begin the game, was surprised.
"I'm not sure, that surprised me too," Brady acknowledged. "I was sitting there saying, 'We won the toss, great.' I was going to sit down and he goes, we got the ball, and I'm like, 'What? I thought we won the toss.' I wasn't sure how that all worked."
Hogan set a new franchise playoff record with 180 yards on nine catches while Julian Edelman added eight catches for 118 yards. Those two receivers had record-setting games because their quarterback was on fire, starting with the midweek stare-down of the national media on Wednesday. Even LeGarrette Blount was in awe of a quarterback he sees everyday in practice.
"He's the best quarterback to ever play the game," Blount said after he chipped in with a monster, pile-dragging run of his own followed by a one-yard touchdown in the third quarter. "He's obviously, in my opinion, the best quarterback to ever play the game."
The chants of "Where is Roger?" must've made Brady smile. Oh wait, Brady says he didn't hear them but he did hear the crowd serenade him to "Living on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi, who just so happened to be right behind him up in the suite with Brady's best tight end buddy, Rob Gronkowski.
"I didn't hear that chant," Brady insisted afterward. "I did hear them singing to Bon Jovi though, that was pretty cool."
Thanks to one of the best games of his glorious career, he'll finally get the chance to meet Roger Goodell in Houston, that is, with one more win over the Falcons in Super Bowl LI in Houston on Feb. 5.
"It hasn't sunk in yet. Every week it's kind of been one day at a time and one game at a time. I haven't even said those words yet," Brady said of realizing he's off to the Super Bowl again. Well, I said them after the game, but not at all this week or now. It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable."
Brady was truly the one who was unbelievable Sunday. Now, it's the Falcons who can start worrying about trying to slow down Brady on the fast track of NRG Stadium.

Dr. Eva Malanowski
Dr. Eva A. Malanowski has never shied away from working with the most challenging problems individuals face. Her inspiration has come from observing and encouraging the life force in individuals that propels them to seek growth in even the most difficult circumstances. She has had extensive experience helping a wide range of people to free themselves from early emotional injury, including in-depth treatment of federal inmates and clients with Autism Spectrum disorders.
This ability to coax the spark of growth out of those with even the most hardened inner shells, an Amáte Growth Work term for those who have created fear-based barriers to taking emotional risks due to unresolved childhood trauma, is what makes her uniquely qualified to facilitate clients in reaching their Emotional Maturity through Amáte Growth Work.
Dr. Malanowski became the first trained Amáte Growth Work Facilitator at the Amáte Institute/Aspen, and has now established The Amáte Institute/Boulder to offer this vital healing method to those in the Boulder area as well as offering intensive treatment options for clients from around the world.
Dr. Malanowski earned her masters and doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Baylor University. She completed her post-doctoral fellowship in Psychology from the University of Colorado Health Sciences. She devoted nine years to helping individuals with Autism Spectrum disorders and developmental disabilities reach greater independence. Through her work as a supervisor she found great satisfaction in mentoring aspiring psychologists and counselors in their career development.
After outstanding work in a variety of clinical settings, she became Director of the Aspen, Colorado Counseling Center from 2009-2011, she continued in the rewarding role of a coach and mentor while supervising a staff of 19 psychotherapists.
Most recently she has received federal awards for the innovative program she created at the Federal Bureau of Prisons in Englewood, Colorado for inmates with sexual compulsions, technology addictions and substance abuse issues.
Please click here to view her Work Experience and Training.
About Dr. Malanowski
When she was 7-years-old Eva's family left her birthplace of Warsaw, Poland as political refugees and came to the United States. This dramatic change in her environment prompted Eva into a state of introspection and observation at an early age, as she learned to navigate a different culture and learn a new language.
As a 13-year-old, Eva Malanowski wondered why she and so many others were not happy when they lived in such a beautiful place, Boulder, Colorado. That disquiet sent her on a personal search for a path to healing, joy, and meaning.
After completing a rigorous course of study in traditional clinical psychology, Dr. Malanowski studied many non-traditional treatment modalities and developed her skills in hypnosis, Energy Healing Work, Energy Psychology and became a Reiki Master.
After many years of education, personal growth and development of her skills as a clinician, Dr. Malanowski had a dramatic spiritual transformation at the age of 37. Not long after that time, 2010, she met the creator of Amáte Growth Work, Dr. Martha Susan Horton, and discovered the pieces she had been missing no matter how many spiritual retreats she attended, how many inspirational books she read, or how many forms of therapy she experienced.
Amáte Growth Work helped her create a solid emotional and spiritual foundation and confirmed powerful inner guidance that suggested she build her life's work slowly from the ground up. With previous modalities she had tried there were wonderful insights, even wonderful healings, but there remained a stuckness, an Amáte Growth Work term that means an inability to continue growing emotionally, and a lack of deep self-confidence. Finally, through Amáte Growth Work, she found the key to healing, lifelong growth and self-actualization.
Dr. Malanowski has discovered that the transformation begun through Amáte Growth Work has continued long after the initial period of Amáte Growth Work was completed. New insights about childhood issues have continued to blossom. She has continued to take new and significant emotional growth risks, and has gained a confidence in handling challenging situations with maturity and peace.
Through the Amáte Institute/Boulder Eva Malanowski is excited to offer this incredible healing and growth journey to others.

Neurons function as basic logical organs, and basically digital organs: if a neuron requires only one incoming pulse (stimulator) to produce a response, then it is an OR organ; if it requires two incoming pulses, then it is an AND organ. These two, along with simulating "no" can be combined in various ways into any complex logical operation.
It's not simple as this, though: a neuron may have hundreds of synapses connecting it to other cells, perhaps even to one other cell, receiving an enormous number of pulse combinations, and to further complicate things, pulses may be characterized not only by frequency, but also by spatial relations to one another.
Therefore, while there is a stimulation requirement, that is, a threshold, it may be simple, or it may be very complicated. And in the case of receptors, being neurons that respond to stimuli, there may be more than a simple threshold. Further: "if the nerve cell is activated by the stimulation of certain combinations of synapses on its body and not by others, then the significant count of basic active organs must presumably be a count of synapses rather than of nerve cells."

Been feeling a bit morbid the past few days. Don't worry, nothing serious, it's a favourite past-time of mine, and has been since I was seven years old and my favourite hamster was found dead of exhaustion on the pavement outside our house. He had run away – so I'm sure there's a lesson in there for all of us, somewhere. (His name was Columbo, but there's definitely no lesson in that, and this piece of information is quite irrelevant to the subject of this post…) Anyway, since then I've developed the habit of envisaging the mortality of both myself and those close to me – really, sometimes the days just fly by.
But it's the juxtaposition between all that we cherish and the inevitabity of death which fascinates me. If we knew things would go on forever they would quickly lose their significance. Love (and hate) would become mere passing fancies which we could be sure would come again,until they became indistinguishable blips on our emotional scales – if we could still talk of emotion. No, the intensity of and vivacity of love is always outlined by the depth of its loss, and this, between people, is always ultimately represented by death.
Of course, it is always a tragedy when death exposes its brutish head and transforms our love for someone into pain. We cannot avoid running this gauntlet all through our lives, but maybe our consolation is that it would be a pale and bland life without it.
As you see, I could go on and on about this topic, but I'm feeling hungry now, and despite my dark moods, I would really like to delay the inevitable for as long as possible, otherwise, how could I enjoy my funk to the full? I think I'll have a pizza.

By B15m1lah. Chair. At Monday, July 02nd 2018, 04:46:23 AM.
Ergonomics are all the rage in the modern age, and no where have ergonomics been pushed to the limits further than in the realm of office chairs. Ergonomics, which refers to the study of comfort and efficiency in the workplace, began by starting with the office chair. It's no surprise that the field of ergonomic office chairs have made drastic leaps and bounds in recent years. Today, ergonomic office chairs offer amazing pain relief for those plagued by typical office ailments. High adjustability makes ergonomic office chairs easily customizable to relieve back pain, neck pain, joint pain, and poor circulation. Even if chairs like the RFM Verte Ergonomic Chair (which is heralded is one of the most comfortable chairs in existence) can get a bit pricey, most ergonomic chairs, such as those from the Hawk Series by Eurotech, come at incredibly low prices that make easy additions to the holiday shopping cart!
Like computer chairs, task chairs typically deceptively simple modern designs. However, these are some of the most versatile chairs on the planet! Task chairs have been known to contribute wonderfully to multiple office applications, including desks, cubicles, conference rooms, and even home offices. They often feature a comfortable compact design perfect for bedrooms, schools, and libraries. While they can be found boasting a host of upholsteries, often the most popular are mesh task chairs. If you're in search of a chair to meet any of these criteria, it will please you to know that the best feature of most task chairs is the incredibly affordable price.
Since most people work at computers anyway, it's hard to ever go wrong with a new computer chair for the holidays. They can come in all sorts of stylish looks, featuring cool computer chairs with fabric or leather upholsteries for top notch appeal. Like most computer chairs, models like the 11648B Segmented Cushion Chair look amazing in both home and business environments. They typically offer pain relieving features such as adjustability or waterfall seats to increase circulation, making them wonderful for those plagued by the dreaded "office aches." If you're searching for a nice, affordable chair for your friend or co-worker, look no further than computer chairs!

Sometimes the PCs find hidden treasures among the knick-knacks, oddities and trinkets. Other times, they find what is—essentially—worthless junk.
Use this table, to determine what piece of useless junk they uncover:
- Spilling from a cracked and suspiciously stained leather folder this sheaf of song sheets records a score or so bawdy drinking songs—or they would do if they hadn't suffered extensive water (or possibly beer) damage.
- This pewter drinking stein has a wide crack in its base; consequently liquid quickly leaks out rendering it useless as a drinking vessel.
- This slightly charred 1,000 gp letter of credit lacks the crucial section setting out who undertakes to extend the aforementioned credit.
- Bent and twisted, this iron brooch forged in the shape of a (now squashed) pinecone has lost its pin.
- This small drum has a rip in its cover.
- The jagged fragment of a leather armband etched with the remains of a heraldic symbol—a lion rampant clutching a battle-axe—lies at the back of a shelf.
- Containing slightly wet and matted multi-coloured chalk dust this pouch may have once belonged to a wizard.
- A pair of blunt oversized brass scissors—perhaps good for shearing sheep if resharpened.
- Hanging from a frayed length of red-stained leather this cracked monocle has an iron frame.
- This small violin—sized for a halfling or a human child—has no strings and is missing its bow.
- Soot covers the glass of this magnifying glass, which also has a slightly charred handle. Unless the soot is cleaned away it is not immediately obvious the glass is cracked.
- Full of dry soil this waterproof leather pouch hides five large acorns.
- Several of the names listed on this framed ornately drawn family tree have been scored out so violently there are holes in the vellum.
- A matched brush and comb set. The comb is missing half its teeth and the brush is matted with hair and what is—hopefully—mud.
- These four tarnished silver spoons each has an identical hole burnt through the middle.
- A ragged, oversized quill crafted from the bright blue feather of some kind of exotic bird (or perhaps other creature). The quill is missing its nib.
- A worn and much-used backpack looks at first glance like a serviceable bargain (as it is only half price). However, a close look reveals one of the straps is frayed. If the pack is filled, the strap breaks during its owner's first bout of strenuous activity.
- This wrought iron holy symbol (of a locally worshipped deity) has been poorly repaired; weld marks are obvious and the whole has a twisted—perhaps—warped aspect. (Perhaps this intentional and an evil cult used it in a bastardisation of some holy ritual).
- A wide crack runs around the mouth of this bright blue urn. The urn is fragile; any rough handling causes the top portion to slide off the body.
- Draped in a stained red cloak, this life-size stone statue depicts a muscular man standing in a heroic pose. Removing the cloak reveals a certain part of the man's anatomy has been snapped off.

Yet there are still too few publishers willing to take risks with foreign writers. Those writing in minority languages are even more marginalised, so it is good to find the distinguished Galician Xos Lus Mndez Ferrn finally reaching English-language readers through a Welsh imprint. Them and Other Stories (Planet, #163;6.75, translated by John Rutherford and others) is a selection from his short fictions, spanning some 35 years, which create worlds where Galicia's history and its mythic Celtic past overlap and send out double echoes.
Mndez Ferrn was imprisoned several times under Franco's dictatorship, his militant Galician nationalism intolerable to a rgime threatened by a diversity of languages. Two of the stories here deal explicitly with that period and the Civil War's aftermath. Both "Them" and "Elastic Boots" have murderous outcomes that recall the vicious nature of Franco's triumph, yet in each case the horrors thwart their perpetrators; the curse provoked by the fascists' own superstition and a child's instinctive refusal to betray are shown to have deep roots in the soil of rural resistance. Mndez Ferrn uses the magical and fantastic as elements in modern narration as well as shaping full-blown epics of mythic time. "Artur's Love" is a parable linking the fates of Europe's Celtic peoples in a rewritten Arthurian Legend of longing - "until the days of joy return once more to the western lands of the world, these lands where stones and silence afflict our enslaved hearts, our enslaved hearts. " The author is a discovery doubly welcome for being so well served by his translators.
Language is a part of identity. If translation is analogous to acting or playing the violin, living in more than one language offers ample potential for variations on the self. Yann Martel was born in Spain and lives in French-speaking Canada. His novel Self (Faber #163;8. 99) is about inhabiting different languages and different genders. Words and physical bodies, concepts and new or alien sensations are explored confessionally from the inside; sometimes the materiality of language is laid out literally, with a split page displaying English beside Spanish or French beside Czech.
This inventiveness is no mere gimmick. Martel's orphaned first-person narrator is a truly tragic figure, experiencing life as both male and female, finding and losing love in different gender combinations. Martel deploys a youthful yet world-weary intelligence in questioning how bodies and cultures circumscribe the self.
By comparison with most lives, Tina Modotti's was multiple. Her apparent reinventions of self were driven by historical events and by her own political and artistic impulses. Born in Italy in 1896, at 16 she emigrated to the US with her family. After working in factories, she was "discovered" through amateur dramatics and became an actress in Hollywood silents. Her love affair with Edward Weston took her to Mexico, where she studied photography as his apprentice; later, another lover, the Communist leader, Mella, was assassinated, dying in her arms. Deported from Mexico she travelled to Berlin and then to Moscow, which became her base for anti-Nazi rescue operations throughout Europe; the Spanish Civil War saw her nursing in Madrid.
Modotti achieved posthumous fame through her photographs, whose modernist utopianism celebrated Mexico's revolution with a direct and unique aesthetic. Her beauty too was made famous by Weston's nude photographs, which gave her body the status of an icon.
This story has been told many times. Elena Poniatowska's Tinisima (Faber #163;15.99 translated by Katherine Silver) attempts to uncover the glamour and the myth in the form of a "novelised" biography. Poniatowska has drawn on Modotti's letters and other verifiable documents, as well as existing biographies. The facts are here and there is an undeniable fidelity to Tina as an all too human heroine. The genre can take more liberties than biographies, which are bound to be provisional, speculative constructions, but its subservience to a linear, pre-plotted narrative dooms it never to achieve the resonance of a fully-fledged fiction.

Government grants support JIBC-led programs aimed at changing perceptions for police and at-risk youth
JIBC to explore improved cultural awareness training for police officers and pilot a youth crime prevention program
Two grants will fund the development of programs by the Justice Institute of British Columbia (JIBC) that aim to enhance police training in B.C. and support youth crime prevention.
The JIBC Foundation has received civil forfeiture grants totalling $305,000 from the Ministry of Justice.
"These grants are very much appreciated," said John Chesman, board chair of The JIBC Foundation. "This funding will support the development of new educational programs that will help keep our communities safe. It fulfills the Foundation's mandate of raising funds that maintain JIBC's international reputation for excellence, innovation and leadership in public safety education."
The Institute received $205,000 to begin the development process of new cultural awareness training for police officers and new recruits. The goal is to help officers across B.C. better respond to the needs of vulnerable people in culturally sensitive ways.
"We have made steady progress on the Missing Women Commission of Inquiry recommendations and this grant for police training and youth crime prevention is part of our response," said Attorney General and Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton. "It's rewarding to see the proceeds of unlawful activity used in a way that responds to the needs of vulnerable British Columbians and enhances safety for all communities across the province."
"We appreciate the support from the Civil Forfeiture Office and the Victim Services and Crime Prevention Division of the Ministry of Justice," said Dr. Michel Tarko, President and CEO of JIBC. "We are committed to working with the Police Services Division and all key stakeholders to begin the process of creating this new program."
JIBC also received a $100,000 grant to develop a creative youth crime prevention workshop where at-risk youth learn to overcome social pressures that limit their future.
The program will be facilitated by instructors from JIBC's law enforcement program and youth workers experienced in supporting at-risk youth. It will be piloted in a number of communities throughout the province.

The Three Bases I Currently Can't Live Without!
I always have a number of products doing the round in my makeup bag and I always have three bases. This is for when I need full coverage, medium coverage or light coverage and here are the three I am currently using.
Bourjois CC Cream - Light Coverage
This is rather a recent edition to my collection (I bought this around three weeks ago) and have barely put it down. This cream gives my skin a glow almost and due to it being so light it lasts all day and a setting powder isn't required. I may need some concealer for my problem areas - I get horrendous red nose - but it is really nice to wear a little less everywhere else.
Wake Me Up Foundation - Medium Coverage
This is my second bottle of this and I really like it. This foundation's undertone is a little warmer than mine and as a result this cancels out some of my red and really warms me up. This blends into the skin really easily and be built up really quickly. This is a product that I will continue to buy. I have also have the matching concealer and I really like this for under the eyes. This wouldn't cover huge imperfections but a little blemish is easily hidden with this. I would also recommend a powder to set.
Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation
The old formula was a favourite of mine and this new one is even better. This seems to smooth over every pimple, every red patch in fact anything. This blends very easily and matches my skin tone perfectly - this really is fantastic. This lasts all day without a primer but due to the thickness of the foundation it really needs a powder to set. I don't need a concealer with this the coverage is that good. As the advert states there is no cake either. The smallest amount is needed to cover the whole face so I know this tube will last forever.
Have you tried any of these products, what do you think? Let me know in the comments below.

Red Sparrow is a 2018 spy film directed by Francis Lawrence, known previously for 'I am Legend' and 'The Hunger Games'. It is based on a novel written by Jason Matthews and the screen adaptation was written by Justin Haythe. Following many trailers for this film and a lot of marketing, this film was successful in box office but reached mixed reviews and it is easy to see why.
Jennifer Lawrence is Dominika Egorova, a Russian ballerina who looks after her ill Mother, but suffers an injury leaving her to be approached by her suspicious Uncle Ivan who predictably works for an area of Russian Intelligence. Dominika's job is to seduce Russian politicians in exchange for medical care for her Mother. When things go wrong, Dominika is given a choice- work for Russian Intelligence or be executed so she's not a witness.
From there, Dominika is sent away to become a 'Sparrow', an operative tasked with seducing her targets but stars cross when she begins working as a double agent for a CIA operative, putting her life at risk.
As you can see, the plot offers substance but the film itself doesn't. Whereas what's on screen usually translates the plot, I found myself having to google what was happening every ten minutes as the visuals made it quite vague and confusing. The film would have been more solid if the focus was not purely on sex, the camera angles follow Jennifer Lawrence's naked body but doesn't show the rest of the picture. This is a film specifically for the male gaze.
The male gaze is where women and the world are depicted from a heterosexual and masculine point of view, presenting Women as objects of male pleasure. I found that what was meant to be a complex and enjoyable plot, was masked by violence, sex and close up's of Jennifer Lawrence- perfectly crafted for the male target audience but neglecting Jennifer Lawrence's female fan base.
The fake Russian accents in the film were also very poor, with Lawrence's American accent seeping in every other word. However, good effort for her acting on her part aside from the accent- she was the only character that was well thought out, the rest thin and transparent, no developments given. It's unclear whether this was because of the amount they had to fit in to the time slot, but the book was praised for it's characters. Could be it be lazy screenwriting for the passive audience?
This is a film that stereotypical masculine men watch with their friends with a beer. That should probably be the target audience, because it was not a film made with substance.

Ocean Yield Adds Fifth Suezmax to Its Fleet
Norway-based shipping company Ocean Yield has taken delivery of the Suezmax tanker Milos, bringing its current fleet of Suezmaxes to five.
Upon its delivery on February 7, the 2016-built vessel commenced its employment under a 13-year bareboat charter deal with Okeanis Eco Tankers (OET).

As earlier noted by the company, the purchase price of USD 56 million for Milos includes a seller's credit of USD 7 million, giving a net purchase price of USD 49 million.
The Greek charterer Okeanis Eco Tankers will have certain options to acquire the vessel during the charter period, according to Ocean Yield.

Stock Trading Alert originally published on December 4, 2014, 6:21 AM:
Briefly: In our opinion, speculative short positions are favored (with stop-loss at 2,085 and profit target at 1,950, S&P 500 index).
Our intraday outlook is bearish, and our short-term outlook is bearish:
Intraday (next 24 hours) outlook: bearish
Short-term (next 1-2 weeks) outlook: bearish
Medium-term (next 1-3 months) outlook: neutral
Long-term outlook (next year): bullish
The U.S. stock market indexes gained 0.2-0.4% on Wednesday, retracing their recent decline, as investors reacted to some economic data announcements. The S&P 500 index has managed to reach yet another new all-time high at the level of 2,076.28, slightly exceeding last week's top. The nearest important level of resistance is at around 2,085-2,100. On the other hand, support level is at around 2,060-2,065, and the next level of support is at 2,050, marked by recent local low, among others. There have been no confirmed negative signals so far, however, we can see overbought conditions accompanied by negative technical divergences:
Expectations before the opening of today's trading session are virtually flat, with index futures currently up 0.1%. The main European stock market indexes have been mixed so far. Investors will now wait for some economic data announcements: Challenger Job Cuts report at 7:30 a.m., Initial Claims at 8:30 a.m. The S&P 500 futures contract (CFD) trades close to its record high, as it fluctuates along the level of 2,070. The nearest important level of support remains at around 2,060-2,065, as we can see on the 15-minute chart:
The technology Nasdaq 100 futures contract (CFD) is relatively weaker, as it trades below last week's high. The nearest important level of resistance is at around 4,330-4,350. On the other hand, support level is at 4,280-4,300, as the 15-minute chart shows:
Concluding, the broad stock market slightly extended its long-term uptrend, as it made new record high yesterday. There have been no confirmed negative signals so far. However, we still expect a downward correction or an uptrend reversal. Therefore, we continue to maintain our speculative short position. Stop-loss is at 2,085 and potential profit target is at 1,950 (S&P 500 index). It is always important to set some exit price level in case some events cause the price to move in the unlikely direction. Having safety measures in place helps limit potential losses while letting the gains grow.
Thank you.

Crane Cable
Click to view our full range of Crane cables
Crane cables is a term used to cover a range of specialist cables powering and controlling cranes, hoists, festoons, conveyors and gantries. Used across heavy industry including mining and marine, they must be robust and capable of handling both torsional and tensile stresses simultaneously. These mobile machines for lifting and handling are often manufactured with a robust rubber outer sheathing to protect against the constant reeling and movement as well as providing protection against oils and greases. Cables with Polyethylene (PUR) and PVC sheathing are also available.
The cables are UV resistant – applications such as tower cranes and port loading gantries are subject to the elements – as well as being resistant to oils and greases. These cables are EMC screened as the cables are carrying loads and need protection from nearby electromagnetic interference. The cables remain flexible between -20oC and +70oC.
Crane Cable Product Range
Some of the crane cables most frequently specified within our portfolio include:
|Crane Cable Product
|Application Overview
|YSLTOE cable
|Spreader cable for gravity-fed collector buckets
|NSHTOU cable
|Drum winding cable
|(N)SHTOU cable
|Drum winding cable with increased tensile strength
|(N)SHTOU PUR cable
|Drum winding cable with Polyurethane sheathing
|(N)GRDGOU cable
|Festoon cable

Atherosclerosis is a slow, progressive condition in which the arteries thicken with plaque build-up and can lead to a number of complications, including heart attack and stroke. By causing moderate weight loss and improving blood pressure, the three diets reversed atherosclerosis in obese people.
The participant population included 140 obese people, mostly men, who were at high risk for atherosclerosis. Each was randomly assigned to a low-carbohydrate, low-fat or Mediterranean diet, and after two years on a diet, and lost about 10 pounds on average. Using a novel noninvasive imaging method, the team found an average 5 percent regression in carotid vessel-wall volume and 1.1 percent decrease in carotid artery thickness. "This regression is a significant decrease for the two-year time span," said Meir Stampfer, MD, DrPH, associate director of the Channing Laboratory at BWH and senior author of the study. "This implies that a healthy diet may not simply slow atherosclerosis, but can also reverse effects."
Researchers explain that weight loss from these diets is the cause of this reversal of atherosclerosis, rather than the actual nutrients of each. However, they recognize that choosing one particular diet over another because of preference in taste may improve the likelihood of an individual's success with the diet. The regression in vessel wall volume was attributed to the decline in blood pressure as a consequence of weight loss. The effect was most pronounced in those who lost the most weight, and who had the biggest decline in blood pressure.
Dr. Stampfer and colleagues are the first to demonstrate the utility of this novel method of evaluating the vessel wall. By using a simple ultrasound rigged to measure in three dimensions, the researchers were able gauge volume rather the just wall thickness.
The study was funded by the Israeli Ministry of Health, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, and the Dr. Robert C. and Veronica Atkins Research Foundation.

On the upper right, we see a vital and dynamic Christ (by Peter Paul Rubens), animated by internal forces. On the upper left, we see an unmistakably dead Christ (by Matthias Grünewald), whose form (or whatever remains of it) is the result of entirely external forces: wood, nails, and the physical force of gravity.
While the sculptures pictured below the paintings are both non-representational, I think it should be possible to see that the one on the lower right (by Sir Anthony Caro) is nevertheless still abstract; its composition, or syntax, suggest an inner spiritual force which virtually lifts the industrial materials into an exalted state, cancelling or suspending the work's status as mere object. We can feel the I-beams, rebar, and industrial paint springing to life; hence the piece's name, Early One Morning. Meanwhile, the piece on the lower left (by Robert Morris), nailed to the wall and sagging under its own unstructured mass, Untitled makes no attempt whatsoever to transcend its status brute material.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – UNC Greensboro women's basketball (6-11, 0-2 Southern Conference) fell to Wofford (10-7, 2-0 SoCon) 93-66 to end a three-game road trip as three Spartans recorded 10-plus points Saturday in Jerry Richardson Indoor Stadium.

"EROS" in Paris through July 19
I am so grateful to have met and worked with director Michelangelo Antonioni. It is a great gift to spend time with those of us who have the courage and the clear mindedness to fully be themselves. I don't think there is anything else to teach or anything else to learn. Antonioni's vision breathes in every frame, in every detail, in every sound, in every intention. It is my great wish to imbibe this focus and be my own artist as well as my own person, independent of all trends or expectations, completely still, essential, and profoundly original. Thank you, Michelangelo, I...

I am constantly humbled and grateful for the lovely people at Flying Monkeys Craft Brewery. From the kindness and generosity they showed my friends and I when we visited the brewery for my stag, to the inspiring beers they produce for all of us to enjoy. For me, they are simply one of the best craft breweries in Ontario.
Their highly acclaimed Smashbomb Atomic I.P.A. was an explosion from the start. The LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario) had a beef with it's packaging, saying that it was in bad taste and/or violent. [as a side note, the unfortunate tsunami and resulting events in Japan had just occurred around the time it was to be released, complicating the LCBO's decision I'm sure] After some slight revisions to the packaging, Flying Monkeys was able to retain it's unique style of branding and release Smashbomb to the masses.
I have no illusions that I'm going to be ale to nail this recipe the first time. The complex malt character and incredible velvety hop profile that Flying Monkeys get in their beer is, to me, the pinnacle of brewing. If I'm able to pull a beer out of my keg that tastes like that, it will be the ultimate brewing reward for me. So in an attempt to capture a Flying Monkey, bear with me, this may take a few attempts!
As a demonstration of the enthusiasm and sense of community that Flying Monkeys has, on their website they not only have a description of the beer and how it came to be, but a list of ingredients they use in the beer, including malts, hops, and even the hopping schedule. I'm blown away that a brewery would share this with the world.
From their website:
- Original Gravity: 1.061
- Final Gravity: 1.016
- Briess Victory Malt
- Briess Crystal 60
- Muntons Black Patent Malt
- 2-Row N. American Pale (Metcalf and Copeland)
- Early Hops Citra (Wort/mash)
- Early Hops Citra (1Runnings)
- Kettle Hops Citra (Bittering)
- Kettle Hops Citra (15mins Before End Of Boil)
- Kettle Hops Citra (End Of Boil)
- Late Hop Additions Citra (whirlpool)
- Late Hop Addition Centennial (whirlpool)
- Dry Hop Citra / Centennial through Hoppapotamus
I'm going to have to alter the hop additions a bit as I don't have a system for whirlpooling and I don't own a "Hoppapotamus" (or hopback). I recently brewed a Red Ale in which I tried a late hop experiment upon the suggestion of a fellow home brewer. The only hop addition I did was a 50/50 ratio of Centennial/Citra at 10mins left in the boil. This addition needed to be quite large to get the necessary IBU's into the beer, but so far, the hop character in this beer has without a doubt been my favourite, and the closest I've been able to come to Flying Monkeys' beers. What I'm going to do for this recipe is mix a bit of what their site suggests, and a bit from my experience with late hopping.
Also, to get an ABV of 6.0% I need to hit a final gravity of 1.016. There are 1 of two ways to do that; the first is to beef up the specialty malts, and the second is to increase the mash temperature. I tried increasing the specialty malts in my BeerSmith program, but I ended up with a darker beer, so I'll target a colour of 12 SRM as noted and increase my mash temperature to 156F. I know this isn't normal for a pale ale or IPA, but I'm going to give it a try anyways. Who knows what the hell Peter Chiodo does up there at the brewery! (There is a third option, trying a less attenuative yeast than Safale US-05, but that will be after figuring out the basics)

I told my students in the fall that I knew it to be true that doughnuts were the new cupcakes. Several of them looked at me as if this idea were absurd: how could I know such things?
Because I have a Master's degree, kiddos. And my ear to the ground. And my friend Andrea told me so.
But I had a thought the other day: wouldn't it be wonderful if muffins were next? If beautiful, reasonably-sized muffins were suddenly popping up in boutiques with cool new flavors? If the work of Seinfeld could be reversed and the muffin as a whole (rather than just the top) were celebrated? And wouldn't it be awesome if I was the revolutionary who took muffins to that next glorious level?
Muffins have become a bit tired. Bran. Morning harvest, all chock-full of seeds and berries and tree branches. Yes, good, healthy, whatever. Banana-nut. Chocolate chip. Double chocolate (glory be). From fiber-full to deliciously sweet, muffins are wonderful, but I think that in the grand scope of American baked goods, they're a tad overlooked.
Which is a shame. And I'm not just saying that because I'm constantly singing the muffin top song from 30 Rock. I love a good breakfast pastry, and few things outshine a perfect, heated muffin, buttered and perfectly paired with my coffee.
This weekend, Amanda challenged me to keep up my spree of making pastries for us to have for breakfast. She leaves at dark-thirty in the morning, so a quick breakfast that doesn't require any work is all she has time for. And I just like pastries. So while I did some experimenting with spinach-filled puff pastry, I also knew that something bready and delicious was necessary.
I found a bag of frozen blueberries in my freezer, and my first thought was muffins.
I scandalized my former roommate by making a slight alteration to Nigella Lawson's blueberry muffin recipe: I added cinnamon. No offense to Nigella's purist recipe, but I love the sweet warm spice of cinnamon paired with the zippy tang of blueberry.
So naturally I thought cinnamon chips would pair great with blueberries. And they did. This recipe is a modified version of the one from The Joy of Cooking, and these muffins are light, reasonably-sized, and full of lovely little blueberries and cinnamon morsels. They're perfect heated, split in half, and buttered liberally. I have a suspicion that adding a little orange zest to the recipe couldn't hurt, but I haven't tested that theory yet.
Serves 12 muffins
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup vanilla soy milk (can use regular milk or cream if thatâs all you have)
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 8 tablespoons warm melted unsalted butter
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 cup cinnamon morsels
- **(If you used regular milk or cream, add 1 teaspoon vanilla. If you used vanilla soy milk, extra vanilla is not required.)
- Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. Set aside.
- Whisk together (or mix with whisk attachment of your mixer) the eggs, soy milk, sugar, butter, and vanilla, if you are using it.
- Add the flour mixture and mix until the dry ingredients just combined. Donât overmix; the batter should be lumpy.
- Fold in blueberries and cinnamon morsels.
- Divide the batter among greased muffin cups. Bake at 400 degrees 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in one or two of the muffins comes out clean.
- Let cool 5 minutes before removing from the pan. Let cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or cool.

When I was 17 years-old, Abraham Lincoln became the President of America. I lived in Pennsylvania, in a modest shack-like house with my 6 younger sisters, 2 younger brothers, and my parents. I could see the shell-shocked look on my mother's face as the news made it's apathetic passage through the household.
"Did he win?" My dad suffered from a loss of hearing, and the doctor said it ain' t comin' back any time soon. That wasn't the only thing, he had an awful cough. Sometimes me and lil' Lucy (my younger sister, she was 13) would bet on how many coughs dad would do in a day, I would always bet less than 50, she would bet less than 75; she always won.
Maybe, I always bet lesser in the hopes that it go down one day.
My mother rushed to get supper ready and evaded dad's question, that's cause he did win. And she knew exactly what that meant. I didn't ask to be born poor, in fact I doubt anybody did. I quietly ate my supper and tried to leave as Lucy sat patiently counting today's coughs, 62,63,64…
To be honest, that's all I remember of that day…
October 12 1863, also known as my 20th birthday. My mother was hopelessly prancing around the shack getting my old t-shirts together and fiddling in my drawers for my hair comb. With Dad already sent off 3 years ago, Mom was always tired and empty, and dear God I didn't want her to go through it again…I prayed for the war to have ended by then. Sometimes things don't go your way, especially if you're poor.
"All men, ages 20 and now to 45 shall be legible as draftees for the war"
I remember taking my sorry excuse for a luggage and drudging it past the semi-constructed road. I barely remember the conversation two women held in a shoppe nearby.
"I heard Jameson's son turned 20 today"
"Poor boy, my husband was lamenting on and on about how he only wished he could give 300 to the poor folk, but you know our son is at the age of 17 himself, and you never know how the circumstances might…"
Those were the last of my memories as I sat by a building ten times my size, but as equally broken as me. Shot in my legs, bullets wedged right in the knees, I sat waiting and counting. I would be lucky, they said, if I found my father in the battlefield. I disagree. Seeing my father on the dust ridden earth floor, abdomen throwing up more blood than the deer we hunted in the summer of '54, I disagree. He coughed. One, I counted. You didn't hear a single other thing out of his mouth.
"Lucy, you've finally lost."
Maybe that day, I realized something. Maybe I realized how I'd become the slave to a country whose aristocrats boasted of abolitionism, but enchained the poor to bid their dirty work instead. Maybe, right before I was sent home from the War of Freedom due to the complete immobility of my legs, I realized that I was finally free from it.
"Three hundred, or your legs" I responded to the women in the shoppe, 2 years too late.

Action Against Hunger stands with the international community on August 19 to recognize World Humanitarian Day—a day to celebrate the hard work of aid workers everywhere, to remember the friends and colleagues our community has lost, to advocate for stronger protections and better and safer access to people in need, and to demand accountability and justice for violations of international humanitarian law.
Today and every day, Action Against Hunger pays tribute to aid workers around the world, who put themselves at risk to save lives and relieve the suffering of people affected by disaster and conflict.
Action Against Hunger Chief Executive Andrea Tamburini said:
Humanitarian actors cannot end conflict, but they are a lifeline for the civilian men, women, and children who suffer its consequences. Aid workers put their lives on the line to deliver lifesaving food, water, medicines, and more to populations affected by armed violence. We urge all parties to conflict to uphold international humanitarian law and to demand justice when it is violated. The international community can and must do more to protect aid workers and civilians.
Conflict Fuels Hunger
War and armed conflict are a major cause of hunger – a fact unanimously affirmed by the UN Security Council in May 2018. International humanitarian law prohibits all parties to armed conflict from directing attacks against civilians and obligates them to protect civilians, including aid workers. Yet, aid workers and civilians are increasingly targeted with impunity: direct attacks on protected spaces including homes, hospitals, humanitarian aid operations, aid convoys delivering relief supplies, and public gatherings.
In some of the world's worst conflicts—including South Sudan, northeast Nigeria, Central African Republic, Yemen, Syria, and Afghanistan—aid workers cannot safely reach the communities most in need of humanitarian assistance, which is a violation of international humanitarian law. Aid workers, civilians, and protected spaces like hospitals, refugee camps, and schools have all been targeted and attacked in the last year.
Parties to conflict increasingly defy international humanitarian law, despite their obligations to ensure that civilians in need have safe, timely, unimpeded access to humanitarian aid.
The safety and security of humanitarian relief personnel is required for humanitarian relief to be delivered to civilian populations in need. Violence against humanitarian staff prevents aid agencies from reaching vulnerable people with lifesaving food, medical care, shelter, water, and relief supplies. Under international humanitarian law, parties to conflict must respect and protect humanitarian relief personnel.
Violence Against Aid Workers: Key Facts
The Aid Worker Security Database catalogs every reported incident of violence against humanitarian workers, and the statistics are alarming.
In 2017 alone:
- 158 major incidents of violence against humanitarian operations were documented last year in 22 countries.
- 313 aid workers were victims of some type of attack: 139 were killed, 102 wounded, and 72 kidnapped.
- Most of these attacks occurred in the conflict-affected countries of South Sudan, Syria, Afghanistan, and Central African Republic (CAR), which together accounted for two thirds of all major incidents.
- 34 of the 46 countries where Action Against Hunger intervened in 2017 are countries in conflict or affected by conflicts. Our organization registered 85 security incidents in this period, 13 of them critical.
- In 2017, the number of victims belonging to national and local NGOs sharply increased. The majority of the world's humanitarian personnel are national aid workers. National aid workers fill most of the critical field positions in humanitarian organizations, and they are the most frequent victims of attacks.

Humanitarians are #NotATarget
Action Against Hunger is deeply alarmed by the unprecedented scale of humanitarian needs caused by conflict and the increasing impunity of attacks on civilians and aid workers. We call on all parties to armed conflicts—and those who influence them—to uphold international humanitarian law and acknowledge that civilians and aid workers are not a target.
The deliberate, targeted killings of 17 Action Against Hunger aid workers in Muttur, Sri Lanka occurred twelve years ago, on August 4, 2006. Although the attack is one of the most serious recent crimes against humanitarian personnel worldwide, government authorities still have not taken any action to bring those responsible for the crime to justice. We remember their sacrifice in service of humanity and demand justice and accountability.
On World Humanitarian Day, Action Against Hunger honors aid workers all over the world who are risking their lives to serve those in need. We join our humanitarian partners in urging world leaders—and all those in a position of power—to do everything possible to meet their duty to protect civilians and aid workers.
Take Action
- Join the humanitarian community in taking a stand by taking a selfie: sign the living petition to demand protection for aid workers and civilians. Act now.
- Earlier this year, Action Against Hunger developed a new toolkit, Responding to Violence Against Humanitarian Action, with resources for humanitarian professionals to share information, speak out, and challenge impunity in cases of violence against humanitarian action.

The House of Commons made an apparently landmark decision this week, approving the government's plans for a third runway at London Heathrow.
Headlines have inevitably followed, with themes running across Boris Johnson's absence from the vote through to the environmental impact that hundreds more flights per day will have on west London and beyond.
International connectivity is vitally important in the 21st century, but one thing that might be being missed by the commentariat in their discussions about the rights, wrongs and politicking behind the decision is that by the time that the runway is finished it could be obsolete, thanks to the rapid development of collaboration software and technology.
While the various technologies behind video conferencing, online document storage and other office software packages have been around for a number of years, it is only comparatively recently that they have been brought together into a coherent whole that has a consistent business narrative.
Microsoft 365 includes collaboration tools such as Skype for Business, SharePoint and OneDrive, which allow for teams across the world to interact and edit their work in real time. And with investment in security increasing all the time then companies of all sizes have the confidence in cloud computing that they might not have had a few years ago.
Granted, those companies for whom the cost of a few thousand pounds for a plane ticket between London and New York or Hong Kong are not likely to change their travel plans any time soon, and very little can replace those initial face-to-face meetings between customers and clients.
But smaller organisations may think twice about arranging those run-of-the-mill in-person meetings that underpin the day-to-day operations, when the same outcomes could be achieved within their IT budgets and without losing the working time spent stood in security queues and in mid-air.
Here at Fuse we are experts at helping you make the most out of your IT budget to help create tangible returns in other areas of your business. This can include multi-person real-time editing of documents during video conferences, secure access to documents wherever you are in the world, and much much more.

Title: Appealed
Author: Emma Chase
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Type: Standalone Book 3 of 3 from The Legal Briefs series
POV: First Person – Male
Expected Publication: January 19, 2016
The New York Times bestselling author of the Tangled books returns with the third romance in the Legal Briefs series, a collection of sexy novels about first crushes, second chances, and the final verdict of the heart.
When Brent Mason looks at Kennedy Randolph, he doesn't see the awkward, sweet girl who grew up next door. He sees a self-assured, stunning woman…who wants to crush the most intimate—and prized—parts of his anatomy beneath the heels of her Louboutins.
When Kennedy looks at Brent, all she sees is the selfish, Abercrombie & Fitch catalogue–worthy teenager who humiliated her in high school in order to join the popular crowd. A crowd that made those years a living hell for her.
But she's not a lovesick social outcast anymore—she's a Washington, DC, prosecutor with a long winning streak. Brent is the opposing attorney in her next case, and Kennedy thinks it's time to put him through a little hell of his own.
But things aren't exactly working out the way she planned. Brent has his sights set on Kennedy, and every fiery exchange only makes him want her more—and makes her wonder if he's as passionate in the bedroom as he is in the courtroom. In the end, they may just find themselves in love…or in contempt of court.
Pre-Order at:
Amazon | B&N | Kobo
ARC provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Brent Mason never let his physical disability to pull him back from enjoying his life. He was the in crowd in high school and now a confident criminal defense lawyer. He didn't like to lose, especially not to someone from his past.
Kennedy Randolph was his neighbor growing up. They were best friends until puberty hit and their relationship changed. While Brent was popular, Kennedy became an outcast and she held on to the grudge. Now as a successful prosecutor, she determined to give it back to him while he determined to get her back.
I don't read a lot of light, funny books, but when I do, my first priority has always been Emma Chase's books. She never failed to deliver smart, sexy and amusing male POV stories.
"Okay, good. I need your lacrosse stick. I need it really bad."
It takes me a second before I know how to answer.
"Is that, like, a code word for my dick?"
Brent has always been my favorite from the bits and pieces of him that I got from the previous two books. He was cocky but adorable, and he was very protective of the ones he cared about. I also love that he had a thing for comics – thus my comic like teasers 😀
She got to me forever ago—under my skin, into my heart— and she's been there, waiting, ever since.
I really like Kennedy. She's a strong character who could hold on her own. I love how ruthless she was in the courtroom. But when it came to her personal life, she was very guarded due to her past experience.
I also really love Harrison who was Brent butler. Yes he had a butler. I mean every Batman needs an Alfred right? Hahah!
Brent and Kennedy had a great chemistry. I am fond of their crazy sexy banters. The sex scenes were scorching too. I can't decide which one was my favorite – the after date scene or the office scene.
Appealed is a great conclusion to The Legal Briefs series with fun sexy hero, a strong heroine and a bunch of amusing secondary characters that is sure to brighten your day/night.
P.S.: The extended epilogue is very cute 😀
Final Verdict:
This review is also available on Goodreads.
Website | Facebook | Twitter | Goodreads
By day, Emma Chase is a devoted wife and mother of two who resides in a small, rural town in New Jersey. By night she is a keyboard crusader, toiling away the hours to bring her colorful characters and their endless antics to life. She has a long standing love/hate relationship with caffeine.
Emma is an avid reader. Before her children were born she was known to consume whole books in a single day. Writing has also always been a passion and with the 2013 release of her debut romantic comedy, Tangled, the ability to now call herself an author is nothing less than a dream come true.
