Outlook for US dollar pairs ahead of this week's US NFP
The US Dollar Index signalled a reversal of the bull trend last week with the double-top sell signal. I covered this topic in last week's article and the dollar pairs weakened again yesterday, to confirm further negative sentiment going forward into this week's US nonfarm payrolls.
AUD/USD has finally beaten key resistance at 6940/45 for a buy signal targeting minor resistance at 6963/66, 6990/95 and perhaps as far as 7025/30 this week.
The downside is expected to be limited with minor support at 6955. In the unlikely event that we fall as far as 6945/40, try long positions with stops below 6925.
NZD/USD beat 6550/55 for a buy signal initially targeting minor resistance at 6585/95, which was hit. The outlook turns positive as we test minor resistance at 6585/95 then look for 6610 and 6625/30, perhaps as far as 6640.
Again the downside should be limited with minor support at 6575. It's unlikely but if we fall as far as 6560/50, try long positions with stops below 6525.
EUR/USD has held strong resistance at 1.1185/95 extremely well in the days leading up to yesterday and held perfectly again for much of the day. Eventually we broke higher for a strong buy signal, initially targeting 1.1245/50 and strong resistance at 1.1265/75. We topped exactly here but a break above 1.1275 is expected eventually, for a buy signal targeting 1.1320/25 and strong resistance at 1.1365/75.
We are holding strong resistance at 1.1265/75 as I write so a small pullback is possible to first support at 1.1230/20. I expect the downside to be limited but try long positions at 1.1205/1.1195 with stops below 1.1180.
GBP/USD has a bullish candle in oversold conditions on Friday for a potential buy signal, but the recovery was limited yesterday. The pair really struggled at first resistance at 1.2640/55 but we are holding above now to target 1.2700/05. A break above 1.2715 keeps bulls in control for 1.2745/55.
Failure to hold first support at 1.2655/40 risks a slide to 1.2610/00 before the low at 1.2570/60 where buyers piled in last week. Watch for a bounce from here again. A break below 1.2550, however, targets 1.2535/25.
Gold beat strong resistance at 1296/98 for a buy signal and closed above 1303 for another buy signal on Friday. We hit all targets as far as 1319/20 yesterday and continued higher to 1327.
Gold is severely overbought in the short term so a small correction is very possible, but short positions are high-risk. Below 1324 risks a slide to minor support at 1320. Better support at 1316/15 could hold the downside. Long positions need stops below 1312. Look for a buying opportunity at 1309/07.
A break above 1329 is expected eventually this week, targeting 1333 and 1336/37 before a re-test of the high this year at 1346.
Silver bulls are fighting back with the break above 1462/64 for a buy signal targeting 1471/71, 1482/84 and resistance at 1488/90. We should struggle here but shorts are risky. A break higher eventually targets 1497/1500.
The downside should be limited with first support at 1471/69. If we continue lower look for a buying opportunity at 1463/60, with stops below 1450.

This truly puts technology in the correct use in Pakistan. Healthcare is a necessity that alot of Pakistanis can't afford or don't have access to. Sehat kahani is striving and are achieving goals which were thought to be impossible. They have tapped potential talent the female doctors and gave them the power to use their abilities while maintaining their personal lives. They are promoting women empowerment while building a better healthcare system. I think their ideas and purpose of existence is exemplary and should be supported because they are capable of achieving what they have outlined as they have been doing so far. Good luck team sehat kahani!

Cleveland Clinic Akron General's new $50 million emergency department is a new ground up building, adding 65,900 square feet to the existing hospital campus. The building is a free-standing structure, located where the old laundry processing facility once stood, across the street from the current emergency department and main hospital. This facility is fully integrated with the Cleveland Clinic health network, which recently acquired Akron General. PTA Engineering provided MEP design, bidding and construction administration services on this project.
The new two-story building provides many upgraded emergency service facilities. The first floor emergency department features general treatment areas, triage, level 1 trauma services, behavioral treatment area, isolation treatment areas (for infectious disease control), a decontamination treatment area, a 16-bed short term observation area, a protective environment treatment room (for immunosuppressed patients), an imaging center with a CT scan and two x-ray rooms, and an urgent care treatment center. Each of these room categories has unique requirements which were designed to meet FGI/AIA guidelines for healthcare facilities. The structure also includes a bridge across the street to tie the new facility back into the existing main hospital.
The building was designed utilizing the most up-to-date concepts in the construction industry, including Lean design, pull planning for design and construction schedule development, and collaboration with design assist partners. The construction team was fully involved in assisting with the design and planning for the facility, and many innovative prefabrication techniques were developed and implemented to save on construction labor hours and to reduce installation durations.

Notes From An Appraiser August 2018
July was busy. I started the month examining ethnographic property from Egypt, Syria and Libya for a charitable contribution appraisal to a university museum. With the political and social change happening around the world, it is material like this that will no longer be seen. I also saw an amazing six sided chair from Syria with inlay ebony and ivory, donated to the International Museum of Folk Art in Santa Fe.
I examined six great Korean paintings, about 200 years old, that had been cut from a six panel, six foot screen at some point. The owner had inherited them from grandparents and came to see me to learn more. The figures painted were wearing obvious Korean shoes. After research I determined the figures were the seven lucky gods often associated with Chinese art. It was fun to see Korean paintings, not a common example of personal property that i frequently see.
I assessed a lovely black ink painting, with a slight touch of pink, of Mt Fuji, a gift from father to daughter, by a well known artist selling today in the low five figure range The husband had done quite a bit of research before coming for the office appointment and discovered the artist, when and where he lived and with whom he studied, I spent the hour discussing the significance of Mt Fuji to the Japanese, showing the website of a dealer in NYC that sold this artist, and a print out of the auction sales of the artist's works over the last five years.
I inspected a few more Chinese paintings this month, a landscape and one of three standing officials, along with Chinese porcelains. I also looked at twenty small Chinese jade properties that were once part of an inventory for a jewelry store – think pendants, rings, small figurines. These properties were part of daughter's "to do" list a decade after her father died.
I'm working on an estate appraisal of Japanese Meiji Fine Art textiles that belonged to the noted antique dealer Nomura Shojiro at the turn of the 20th century, and were recently discovered in the kura of family estate. The largest textile is a wool tapestry (tsutsuri ori) with Western figures, bordered and backed with beautiful blue satin silk, dating to turn of the 20th century. The theme was an obvious attempt to woe Western clients and to demonstrate equal ability to the French and Italian tapestries of the late 1800's seen at World Fairs in Paris, London and St. Louis. Nomura's clientele was international, so if a dealer was to produce a commissioned wool tzutsure tapestry with Western figures in 1910-1920, it likely would have been Nomura Shojiro,
So July traditionally has been slow. This year July was delightfully busy and i frequently talked all about art. Thank you, it makes me happy.

The test and measurement industry centers on the production of tools used to analyze, validate, and verify measurements of electronic and mechanical systems. Due to the increasing need for greater accuracy and higher definition measurement, the tools involved in this industry are constantly developing to accommodate technological advancements in the industries they cater to. The test and measurement industry creates both general use and highly specialized tools and caters primarily to high-tech industrial, automotive, communications, and medical electronics industries.
There is a scientific principal that a perfect measurement can never be attained because the process of measurement will always alter in at least some minute measure the object being measured. The test and measurement industry, however, is not discouraged by this principal as it constantly strives for greater and greater accuracy to accommodate the greater use of micro technology and increasingly complex systems. Beyond a quantitative increase in accuracy, the industry also provides tools to measure things otherwise too complex to measure with other instruments.
A common tool used in this industry is the oscilloscope, which is used to measure and graph voltages. More recently, a greater tool has been developed: the logic analyzer, which measures and displays signals on a digital circuit and is capable of analyzing systems with more channels than the oscilloscope.
While many test and measurement tools are electronic in nature, the industry also provides high-definition optical and audio measurement devices. Optical devices range from the more familiar microscopes to more complex spectrometers which measure and graph such values as light intensity and polarization. Audio tools range from highly sensitive microphones to audio analyzers which graph various attributes of audio signals.
Because of the increasing complexity of measurements needed, the industry has more recently begun a rapid trend towards software packages. These packages work with test and measurement devices to codify, validate, and organize the data gathered by them. Software packages are most commonly provided to accompany the devices, which take the most complicated measurements and provide a large quantity of data which needs to be organized.

A national retailer is testing StealthMatrix ARC, a new RFID-based solution from Stealth Network Communications, to access item-level location data via UHF RFID technology coupled with augmented reality.
StealthMatrix ARC (the acronym stands for Artificial Reality Computation) enables users to visually access the locations of RFID-tagged items on a 2D map, even as a user moves around a facility, following an arrow that directs him or her specifically to the item sought. The system provides a store- or warehouse-wide view into the locations of tagged items that management and other individuals, such as store associates, can employ to understand the location and status of their goods.
The system consists of a cloud-base software platform and app that utilizes data from a business's RFID system to plot item-level location data on a facility-wide map. It also comes with a mobile device with a built-in RFID reader, as well as a camera-based sensor to detect a user's location when a given tag is read, as well as when a particular tagged item is being sought.
Stealth Network Communications was launched in 1994 to deliver voice, data, security network and wireless solutions to the commercial market and to government agencies. More recently, the firm began developing the solution for use in providing inventory management at stores and warehouses, as omnichannel sales require greater inventory visibility.
Commonly, traditional RFID in the retail market consists of fixed readers installed either at portals or overhead, which then read tags as inventory moves around a store. Conversely, staff members can utilize handheld readers to conduct inventory counts, and on Geiger counter mode to locate products.
There are shortcoming to both methods, however, says Margaret Nyswonger, Stealth Network Communications' president and CEO. A fixed RFID reader infrastructure for portals or store-wide real-time tracking is expensive, while simply using a handheld reader to capture tag reads does not automatically locate the interrogated tags and their products in specific places, nor does it provide visual 2D map location or wayfinding.
"At the end of the day," Nyswonger states, "if I have RFID-tagged inventory, I know I have it in my inventory or in the store," though that is not enough information for many businesses—especially those such as department stores, which contain large, complex merchandise offerings. Therefore, a store is still challenged to identify exactly where its tagged products are located, even if the RFID data from a handheld inventory count has determined those products to be on hand.
The StealthMatrix ARC solution is intended to make omnichannel order fulfillment faster and easy for sales associates, and to improve the customer experience for those who visit the store to shop. To accomplish this goal, the system leverages RFID data in conjunction with augmented reality software—the kind commonly used in online gaming—to help users navigate their way toward an RFID tag. "Now the retailer and the consumer are confident that what is on their e-commerce site and what is actually in store is accurate," Nyswonger explains. In addition to knowing the location, she says, "They have a visual snapshot of the item's location and can use the navigation feature to guide them to the individual merchandise."
Users carry a StealthMatrix ARC handheld device, designed and built by Stealth Network, which can be mounted on a rolling cart or rack (or carried), and then run the ARC app in order to locate goods. The handheld unit includes not only the RFID reader, but a camera for 2D mapping and wayfinding. A user would first use the ARC app on the device to set up a 2D map of the store space. He or she would simply walk around the area, and the software would use the camera to create a map.
The device can then be used to locate goods. Many retailers are already receiving their merchandise from brands and suppliers with EPC UHF RFID tags attached, and those tag ID numbers can be employed in the ARC system. A store associate could simply walk through the aisles of the store and read tag IDs as they went along, or attach the device to a rolling rack and go about his or her day, moving throughout the store and reading tags as they did so. The software would thus identify the reader's location and link that information with the tag ID on the 2D map.

Thai movie ผีดิบดิบ was released in year 1991 and lasts only 1h09mn. It is an horror R movie (R - Restricted). It is available under VCD format and was released by Happy Time Marketing Co company. Due to marketing purpose, as Mum Jokmok was popular, the movie name was changed from ผีดิบดิบ to หม่ำต้มยำผี (Mum Tom Yam Ghost). The movie is censored or cut in order to be released widely under VCD format but only 1h09mn remains. Some love sequences are blurred or even cut. Master Mum Jokmok is fighting versus Pao Porapak. Both have supernatural powers. Elder brother Kwan is back from overseas studies. A will is opened as his father died suddenly. The daughter Chiep and the son Kwan get 100% of the heritage. The young mother-in-law (แม่เลี้ยง) Oi just gets authorisation to stay in the house. If anything happens to the children, then the heritage will be hers. Nattaporn, Oi's lover, promises to manage this. Kwan is upset as his father died so fast. He has a bad relationship with the young mother-in-law. Kwan, his sister Chiep and her boyfriend have issues with ruffians hired by Oi in a discotheque. Nattaporn is doing black magic incantations to cause Kwan to have a motorbike accident. He falls in hell (เมืองผี) and meets his father! The father warns him about Oi and tells him how to go back to the earthen world. Nattaporn is some kind of vampire. Kwan is back as a ghost and contacts the lawyer, who is afraid of ghosts. Nattaporn kidnaps Chiep. Kwan asks for the lawyer's help. Kwan possesses Oi's body to kill Nattaporn but he fails. Master (อาจารย์) Mum is then involved in order to defeat Nattaporn. Following lengthy fightings, Nattaporn and Oi are defeated. The movie is cut too much to be appreciated and the release under a new name is just a commercial gimmick as Mum Jokmok has only a limited second role.

Steve Jobs once said, "Innovation is the only way to win.". It was only a few weeks ago that one of London's top agencies, Ogilvy & Mather closed the doors to it's dedicated innovation department, Ogilvy Labs, headed up by Nicole Yershon and her team of four. Ogilvy has given a number of reasons why it has closed the Labs over the past few weeks. Paul O'Donnell, EMEA Chairmen, has said the outcome of Brexit will have some impacts on new decisions. Annette King, CEO, has stated this innovative thinking is now embedded into each of the agencies, but now the teams must be "be better and faster at making work".
Nicole has been with Ogilvy for 16 years, where she started one of the first innovation teams inside the agency model, and has no doubt left a lasting impression on not only the agency's culture, but the whole industry. We had the chance to catch up with Nicole to hear her story, why she believes the closure happened and what is the future for her and for innovation.
- We've heard you thought the continuation of the labs was 'looming', but why do you think this happened right now?
"The job made me incredibly intuitive and it was a 6th sense that I picked up over the last 6 months. Once I saw this trend it made it difficult to experiment and work in our usual 'Intrapreneurial' way. So it wasn't expected at all, but management are all different as to what they value most, it's just business and the difficulties of being a cost centre and understanding true value I guess. I think it was a shock to everyone as shown by the outpouring of emotion on on social media and email which myself and the Lab team have received. Everyone who 'got' it and worked closely with us really miss it. There are many people inside Ogilvy who could give you a point of view about that, I'm conscious of not looking back but continually moving forward."
In the last week alone, we've had almost a million impressions and hundreds talking about us. Some of the most influential names in tech and advertising, such as Mike Butcher MBE and Dave Trott are sharing the news and we've had over 70% positive sentiment around the work we have done since it's closure."
- What inspires you about innovation?
"I get hugely inspired by affecting change that is relevant and makes life easier for people - it's not an easy thing for most people to see at first and it's not easy when it isn't defined on a PowerPoint deck - it's more an intuitive feeling - but when you get that feeling - you can't help but be extremely passionate and excited about it. Seeing something from being spoken about to being tangible."
"An example of which would have been for instance looking at digital delivery of TV commercials and content 10 or 12 years ago and moving away from tapes and couriers - I just knew it was the way to go and went through lots of pain when people screamed at me for not sending a tape and then were going to make them miss their airdate. I'd simply say go to your post house to pull it down, it sounds so ridiculously easy now, but at the time they needed a tape in their hand. Having that vision and working with the right partners, BEAM which was part of The Mill - and buy in at CEO level - made sure that this happened and content went down the copper pipes for the first time."
- How has the model of innovation changed over the last decade or so?
"The model has changed considerably, just the word used to mean to me something different. I saw innovation as 'the next cancer drug or electric cars', not innovation in mobile or VR or many of the platforms for tech we use now. It I guess just means something that has changed how we live and hopefully makes it bigger, better, stronger, or faster, it's certainly not just about tech for tech sake. "
- How do you see innovation fitting into the agency model?
"It is key for any model - so much is happening in an ever changing digital world, technology has disrupted every walk of how we now live our lives. We cannot know everything, but a dedicated unit is able to build bridges as to what is happening on the outside world and bring it back in a relevant way to solve problems that brands may have. We don't know what we don't know. We need to be in spaces that have nothing to do with advertising and comms, where we know nothing and no one. It can feel uncomfortable and is not in our comfort zones, but we can build those relationships and make those hyper connections relevant Rory Sutherland used to refer to Labs as conductors, we know who to pull in to make new music, and those who are not the usual contenders."
- What are the most exciting areas of innovation at the moment?
"For me the most exciting areas are AI, there is a great YouTube film 'Humans Need Not Apply' and it shows it is happening now. It's the world we now inhabit, the other interesting space is social enterprise, for brands and start ups to make money by doing good. This isn't about corporate social responsibility, or an NGO, or a charity, but it is about making money by doing good, then a brand communicating it. We saw that a lot in the judging of this year's Lions Innovation Awards in Cannes, that's what got me excited about brands in this space. They are able to leverage their power to do good but still make money, Sir Ronald Cohen speaks a lot about social commerce, it's an interesting space along with behavior change. Rory Sutherland covers this brilliantly with Ogilvy Change, Labs used to work closely with those guys."
- You've talked about the success of collaborating with start-ups, which companies are drawing your interest?
"I'm always drawn to so many start ups when I used to run the Labs 'Semesters of learning', so if I was looking at future travel and tourism then I'd get excited by everyone I was seeing in that space - across all areas of tech - not just one specific. I'm looking potentially to cover future health and wellbeing, which spans from everything to, bio hacking, to 3D printed hospitals & body parts, to virtual reality operations, or even data hacking our own bodies to being your own doctor. This could be commercialised by brands understanding how the learning impacts their business, and which start-ups they could possibly invest in. "
- One of the big questions right now is about how Brexit is going to affect the industry. What effects do you think it will have? Do you think it will impact our advancements in the technology sector?
"Of course there will be an enormous impact for start ups and their funding - but I believe the great ones will still make it regardless. It will put heat on large corporates to get their act together with procurement process and paying invoices from these start ups even quicker, or they will have huge cash flow issues if large companies can't come to an arrangement with working with them... I know Jeremy Bassett is working hard within Unilever to try and make it easier to work with start ups."
- What's next for you?
"It's a scary and an exciting time, I am working out #1 Do I go at it alone, #2 Do I go back to salaried employee, or #3 Do I set up Labs in another company. The wonderful thing is that it doesn't rely on just being relevant to the advertising industry - all industries and businesses are experiencing the same levels of disruption, and for me the black book of contacts will be key in effecting change and working with the right companies to keep moving forward and not looking back. The world keeps changing at a rapid rate and someone needs to keep up. The ability to not just have an idea but be able to make it happen by knowing the right companies, will be key. It's like having a doing arm not just a thinking arm."
- Do you have any advice for creatives interested in pursuing a path in innovation?
"If it was easy everyone would do it. Innovation is difficult because it hasn't been done yet. It's not like changing 'and' to 'the' on some copy. That's why it's innovative, so small teams with same goal is the way forward, along with a healthy collaborative attitude. It takes a team not just an art director or copywriter to make it happen."

I've recently been working on translating text that is displayed along with an XForm property. Since the localizations that are shipped with EPiServer 7 are now embedded in the assemblies, it's not as easy as searching through an XML file for the keys you need to override. So, as a reference, here are the system localization keys related to XForms that are embedded into EPiServer 7.More ››
The release of EPiServer 7 has brought numerous changes to the way editors interact with Edit Mode. One such change is the process needed to remove the language branch for a page or a block. Of course, you could always use the old Edit Mode to complete this task, but let's find out how to do this in EPiServer 7's new Edit Mode.More ››
One powerful feature that EPiServer 7 provides is the localization of page content and the creation of language branches for your site, which allows you to create a multi-language, international site without the need for a huge amount of work.

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Nov 24, 2013) - Infinity Augmented Reality, Inc. ("Infinity Augmented Reality" or "Infinity AR") (
Moshe Hogeg is a veteran technology entrepreneur and the founder and CEO of Mobli a social and mobile photo and video sharing website which as of November 2013 has 12 million users; he has recently concluded a contract with Carlos Slim's American Movil Company. With the advent of Google glass and other digital eyewear, Mr. Hogeg's substantial investment in Infinity AR comes at a propitious time. He states, "I am fully confident that this remarkable company with their state-of-the-art software platforms, dynamic management and infrastructure is positioned perfectly to take advantage of what promises to be a huge and insatiable market for the latest technology in digital software."
"We are elated with Moshe Hogeg's investment in Infinity AR," says Enon Landenberg, CEO of Infinity AR. "When someone of the stature of Mr. Hogeg -- a bona fide technology entrepreneur, and expert smart money investor -- has the confidence and conviction to invest in our company, you cannot but help to realize that it is a genuine and sober validation of everything we have been working towards. We are certain his faith in us will be handsomely rewarded."
It was announced at the Global AR Summit in Shanghai in September that revenues related to AR Technology will approach $600 billion by 2016. In addition, by 2017, over 2.5 billion mobile augmented reality apps will be downloaded to smartphones and tablets per annum and by 2020, 103 million automobiles will contain AR technology. With the anticipated release of Google Glass the augmented reality market is assured of even greater growth.
About Augmented Reality
Augmented reality is a medium in which real sensory inputs are enhanced, or augmented, with relevant digital information from the Internet. Using specially equipped eyewear, virtual images, video, and sound are superimposed for the user over what is actually seen and heard, heightening the real-life experience with additional information that is pertinent, informative, practical and entertaining. The individual user may also be fully immersed in a virtual world, temporarily blocking out real surroundings. With augmented reality, sensory inputs are no longer limited to what is within eyeshot or earshot, but may incorporate, in real-time, all that the network has to offer.
Augmented reality requires an interface, such as digitally-enhanced eyewear, that can instantaneously overlay virtual images and video on top of what is actually experienced. Companies like Google and Lumus are in the process of developing augmented reality glasses that will change the way users see and interact with the world. Infinity AR will utilize its augmented reality applications through these glasses and through other mobile devices including smart phones. As the individual changes his or her visual perspective the sights that are overlaid change accordingly. The eyewear incorporates audio speakers that add virtual sounds to the experience, as well as microphones that capture and interpret the user's spoken commands through speech recognition technology in order to summon desired information and actions. Further information on the Company is available at its website, www.infinityar.com.

B: Barnes - Barratt
Wrestling Heritage A-Z
Sailor Barnes
We uncovered around a dozen matches around the country for Londoner Sailor Barnes between 1934 and 1939. He may well have passed under the radar and gone without mention until we discovered family connections. Born in Camberwell, his father was a coachbuilder, he had four brothers and two sisters. Amongst the brothers were wrestler Wally Dix and a man who was to go on to become one of the top referees in the country, Lou Marco.
Lloyd Barnett
Former boxer Lloyd Barnett wrestled the big names around Britain and Europe during the 1950s. Opponents included Dave Armstrong, Don Mendoza, Francis St Clair Gregory, Karel Istaz and the rest. Jamaican born Lloyd's boxing career had spanned six years, including losses to big names like Don Cockell and Ingemar Johansson. He retired from boxing in June, 1953.
Prince Barnu
Not to be confused with the New Zealander Prince Banu.
In the 1960s when we read heard about this exotic sounding star we were hooked.
But this alleged Brazillian of the 1960s independent halls was Coventry's Fred "Darkie" Barnes, a scrap dealer who trained wrestlers at St Peter's School Gym in Hillfield, Coventry in the 1960s. One of Coventry's colourful characters and a good friend of Adolph Dabrowski. Prince Barnu was a regular worker for Jack Taylor, and included Randy Turpin amongst his opponents.
Fred wrote a regular wrestling column for the Coventry telegraph.
A popular figure amongst all those who knew him and were quick to testify he was a very nice man, friends and family were shocked when Fred collapsed and died at his scrap yard in Baginton July 1989.
Robby Baron
When he joined the professional ranks this teenager was billed as Young Robby, for obvious reasons. His speed, skill and looks made him an immediate favourite throughout the south. To be honest, he never ventured far north, but he did transfer his talent successfully from Paul Lincoln, the independent promoter, to Dale Martin Promotions. Changing his name to Robby Baron (his real name was Tapsell) Robby soon became a 1960s and 1970s favourite throughout the south, and the rest of the country via the miracle of television. He was closely associated with Mick McManus throughout his career, driving the main eventer around in his heyday, with recompense of an appearance on the day's number one tv show, the Generation Game, as usual with McManus. Seemed set to develop into a heavyweight contender, but Young Robby rather drifted away unheralded about 1975. Robby Barron passed away in September, 2010.
Henry Yori remembers his old friend Robby Baron.
"I first met Robbie as I knew him in 1976/77 when I was working at Peckham bus garage and he had taken over The Red Bull pub next to the garage. I approached him for a job as a weekend resident DJ. We hit it off from the start and he was a fair employer with a lovely sense of humour. We had a great launch night with many wrestlers from the great TV bouts all turning up to support him. I remember Mick McManus, Catweazle, Wayne Bridges and Johnny Kwango drinking at the bar with Robbie. all were very approachable and friendly.
I met his mum Joy and they lived above the pub for about 2 years with their large white poodle Vienna. They then moved to The Queens Head pub in Green St Green near Orpington Kent. I stayed in touch with them and eventually went to live with them with my girlfriend. I did the bar work and she did the food. He was a wonderful host and we had many regulars and I still remember his great laugh. I eventually left for pastures new but still kept in touch with him.
He really was a lovely man and the community got to know, love and respect him. He would talk about Wrestling if you asked him but he never bragged or became big headed. I got the impression that the promoters made the money and no wrestler became as rich as today's TV Sports stars. I still have the 7 inch vinyl record he gave me on Pye Records of When We All Go in the ring to the tune of When All The Saints. He is a great loss as a wrestler, friend and person."
Nick Barone (Michele Barone)
The 17 stone man from Rome who claimed to be the heavyweight champion of Italy visited Britain in during the winter of 1966-7 facing top heavyweights Tibor Szakacs, Mike Marino, Gwyn Davies, and Bruno Elrington. Was well known throughout Europe and workied for the WWWF in the United States.
Blondie Barratt (Bob Nickerson, Grim Reaper, Dunk, Happy Humphrey, Rock 'n' Roll Express)
In the mid 1970s, a time when British wrestling was beginning to show signs of age, a new kid appeared on the block, Bob "Blondie" Barratt. Unlike most newcomers of the time this one had a bucketful of talent and two bucketfuls of charisma. We only wish Bob had been born twenty years earlier so that we could have enjoyed watching him during wrestling's greatest years. He would have been a star in any age.
Bob became an increasingly popular figure in 1970s British wrestling with a memorable feud with Johnny Kidd and clashes with Rollerball Rocco, Dave Finlay and Giant Haystacks. The "Rock and Roll Express" moniker and more colourful outfits only embellished his place in 1980s wrestling. Most memorable of all, though, is Bob's long running tag partnership with Kendo Nagasaki.
As we enter the second decade of the twenty first century he trains new entrants to the business and in 2003 started a successful British promotions, Rebel Pro Wrestling.
Irish Ivor Pat Barratt
The red haired Irishman was a popular 1960s figure in British rings and we remember him entering the ring carrying his sheleighly, a sure warning to any wayward villain. Not long after his professional debut in 1958 Ivor had itchy feet and was soon working regularly on the continent, especially in Germany. With his wanderlust unsatisfied in the winter of 1962 Pat travelled across the Atlantic and gained success and fame in North America, working for both the NWA and WWWF. Between 1966 and 1968 he returned to Britain frequently enough for fans to remember him, but was simultaneously developing an American career forming successful tag partnerships (and later feuds) with both Tim Geoghegan and Don Leo Jonathan. Further success came in winning the WWWF tag team culminating championship alongside Dominic Denucci. On 15th May 1975 Pat wrestled Bruno Sammartino for the WWWF World Heavyweight championship, losing by a knock out. Having wrestled throughout the United States, Australia, new Zealand and the Pacific islands Pat returned to Ireland where he had his last contest in 1985.est in 1985.

Owning and operating a bike can keep users healthy and save businesses money. Unfortunately, riding bikes in cities can be dangerous and so riders must always be prepared and ready. Our cargo bikes and adult tricycles are perfectly safe, but there are accessories riders can get to make themselves even safer.
If you want to make your riding experience more pleasant and safe, consider getting:
Mirrors: riding on busy streets means that there are all sorts of traffic to be aware of. It is easy to install rear view mirrors so that riders can see what is happening behind them.
Gloves: gloves protect hands if someone falls, but they do more than that. They can relieve stress on the hand during long rides. They protect against bumps. The gloves also work for winter riding.
Flags: On a crowded street, it is easy to miss a bike (especially if you are in a truck or van). It is not a bad idea to attach a flag to the back of a bike, so that the rider stands out in a crowd. The flag can even have favorite colors or a business logo.
Reflective gear: Reflective gear means two things. First, the rider should get clothing that is reflective and stands out in low light. Secondly, you will want to add reflective strips to your bike. Do not forget front and back lights.
Staying safe on the road is so important. Our cargo bikes and adult tricycles are safe and efficient. Make sure you have all the necessities to stay safe on the road.

Winter Moves
Don't let the cold weather slow you down
Staying physically active can be a challenge for many people with diabetes, especially when the winter cold sets in. But the benefits of maintaining a fitness regime are huge — and doing so is not as hard to accomplish as you may think.
According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), physical activity lowers blood glucose levels; lowers blood pressure; burns calories (which helps you maintain a healthy weight); improves blood flow (reducing the risk of complications); improves your mood; may prevent falls; may improve your memory; and may even help you to sleep better. Who doesn't want all that?
What's more, you don't have to engage in long workouts at the gym to reap the rewards of better health. Experts advise moving at least 150 minutes per week, but researchers have shown that doing so in short bursts — as little as ten minutes each — can be just as effective (if not more so) than longer workouts for weight loss, lowering blood pressure and cholesterol, and preventing heart disease.
So, if exercising for 30 minutes five times a week sounds as though it's more than you can handle, don't fret. Find ways to work physical activity into your day at regular intervals that fit your lifestyle. And, remember, though moderate to vigorous physical activity is ideal, any movement is better than none at all.
Here are some tips from NIDDK for staying active safely.
Drink up. Staying hydrated is important, so drink plenty of water before, during and after you exercise.
Plan ahead. Consult with your healthcare team before embarking on any new fitness routine. In addition to finding the right amount and type of exercise for your health and mobility level, your healthcare provider can help you factor in any diabetes medications that you are taking, how to balance activity levels with insulin (if you are taking it) and how exercise will affect what you should eat and when.
Prevent low blood glucose. Physical activity lowers blood glucose levels, which can result in hypoglycemia. This can happen after a long, intense workout, or if you skip a meal before exercising. Be aware that this doesn't always happen right away and could be delayed as many as 24 hours following physical activity. You may need to check blood glucose levels before, during and after physical exercise. Your provider may suggest that you take less insulin or have a small snack to keep your levels in the correct range.
Take care of your feet. Diabetes can cause problems with your feet due to poor blood flow and nerve damage. Be sure to wear comfortable, supportive shoes while exercising, and check your feet before and after exercise for any problems, such as blisters.
Want to stay active but don't want to join a gym to do so? Here are some other options to help keep you moving in the right direction.
Brisk walking. Walking is free, and can be done alone or with family or friends. When the weather allows, walk around your neighborhood or on a favorite walking trail. You can take short walks on your lunch break at work. When it's too cold or wet outside, take a walk inside your local mall. Many malls open early for walkers so you can get those steps in before the crowds arrive to shop.
Aerobics. Aerobic activity makes your heart beat faster and is great for cardiovascular fitness. In addition to brisk walking, aerobic activities include climbing stairs, swimming, dancing, biking (or riding a stationary bike), taking exercise classes and engaging in sports such as basketball or tennis.
Strength training. Strength training is a lighter or more moderate activity that helps build muscle. It keeps your bones healthy and also helps you lose weight, because the more muscle you have (and the less body fat), the more calories you will burn. Strength training can be done with elastic bands, hand weights or weight machines. You can do it at home or at the gym.
Stretching. Stretching is also considered light or moderate physical activity, and can be done almost anywhere. It increases your flexibility, lowers stress and prevents soreness.
Stretching isn't just what we do before exercising — it can be done on its own, such as with yoga. There are many types of yoga, a kind of stretching that focuses on breathing and helps with balance, strength and relaxation. Yoga can be done at home or in a yoga studio as part of a class.
Commercial breaks. Exercise can be woven throughout your day and become part of almost anything you do. Sitting at your desk too long? Try some leg lifts or extensions. Stand up and do some torso twists.
Watching TV while it's raining or snowing outside? Get up and walk in place for ten minutes. Do some side lunges and overhead arm stretches.
Remember, you don't have to sweat or exhaust yourself to stay fit. But you do need to keep moving — and you'll feel better for it.

There are several free apps available at the moment through iTunes for IOS and Google Play for Android that could be really useful for parents and parents-to-be. These include the Pink Pad Period & Fertility Tracker Pro, the Baby Bump Pro and the Kidfolio Pro.
The Pink Pad Period and Fertility Tracker Pro is a free app, available for both IOS and Android operating systems, that helps women keep detailed records of their menstrual cycle. If you are trying to conceive (or indeed avoid conceiving) then the fertility tracker can help predict when this is most likely.
The Baby Bump Pregnancy Pro with Baby Names is also free for IOS and Andoid, and has been called "the best pregnancy app ever". It's won loads of awards, and has so many really useful features that will mean you don't have to cart around all those booklets that the midwife gave you. There are daily updates, images, help and advice, and your own personalised countdown and pregnancy tracker. You can also access help and advice and pregnancy forums to chat to other expectant mums.
The Baby Tracker & Digital Scrapbook Kidfolio Pro is for the next stage, after baby is born and allows you to keep track of baby's development, growth, feeds, sleep patterns and much more. It's a great idea to have all of this is one place with easy access - I used to write it all down on scraps of paper as the midwife needed all the information when they visited, and this looks so much easier.
All three apps are available through iTunes for IOS, or Google Play for Android.

Harmony Heaven (1930)
|Stuart Hall & Polly Ward
Most notable as Britain's first "all talking" colour film (although this version is in black and white), Harmony Heaven is currently available through the kind people at Network DVD as part of Volume 1 of their British Musicals of the 1930s series.
Rumour has it that Alfred Hitchcock worked on the film as co-director although it is believed that if he did, his input was minimal.
It's a story as old as the hills: struggling singer/songwriter (Bob Farrell played by Stuart Hall in his first film role) fails an audition for a part in a revue ...
|Stuart Hall
... the leading actress (Billie Breeze played by Polly Ward – whose birth name was Byno Poluski) ...
|Polly Ward
... takes sympathy on him and romance ensues ...
|Stuart Hall & Polly Ward
...he gets his break with her help after the revue's star (Stuart played by Jack Raine, whose screen career stretched from 1927 to 1971 and whose final film role was in Bedknobs and Broomsticks) ...
|Jack Raine
...has an accident and he becomes overnight star ...
... their love falters after he is targeted by the vampish rich woman (Lady Violet Mistley played by the wonderfully named Trilby Clark in her penultimate screen appearance)...
|Stuart Hall & Trilby Clark
...his girlfriend winds him back; they all live happy ever after.
It's corny, and bloody rough quality, but at least the songs are easy to hum along to: title song Harmony Heaven is perfectly good although The Raggedy Romp ...
|"If you feel shivery, Wait for delivery, of the Heat you will meet, When you're doing The Raggedy Romp"
... and Prehistoric Blues are rather silly.
It's fun: Stuart Hall sings a dreadful song at his audition and dances like a fool - the song is about:
"A woodland glade where the elves sit down to tea."
What else?
Jack Raine's character is supposed to be a super-stylish showbiz superstar – with a group of dancers describing him as "such a swanker."
|Jack Raine
Blimey, she's flexible (which he appears to appreciate!):
There's a curious scene in which one of the revue's cast give's a (in modern parlance) gay performance of the line's (insert lines). The director shouts out "Can't you say it like a man?" And he replies "No I can't."
It's an odd interlude that seems to say "let's all laugh at the fairy".
And finally:
It seems that sex was a big selling point in 1930s British cinema. In Harmony Heaven there's a scene in which Polly Ward gets dressed ready to meet Stuart Hall. Shot through a curtained arch, which separates us from the scene and puts the audience in a voyeuristic position, we see her pull on and fix her stockings:
|Polly Ward
|Polly Ward
It seems that British films of the 1930s had a slightly fetishised view of women's underwear. Previously I had never imagined that British cinema of this period had been a stepping stone on the gradual sexualisation of cinema. But it seems that in 1930s British films you could hardly get away from women getting dressed, undressed or waving their underwear around:
Most famously, there's the scene inThe 39 Steps where Robet Donat flashes Madeleine Carroll's stocking tops as they try to get dry...

... and she has to remove them whilst still handcuffed to him:
Whilst that scene is often celebrated as an example of Alfred Hitchcock's voyeuristic tendencies, he wasn't the only director offering his audiences tantalising glimpses of thigh or - if they weren't quite that daring - a view of a lady's undergarments (even if she wasn't wearing them).
In Escape (1930) we watch as a woman hides her stockings and knickers from the gaze of the escaped convict ...
In Escape (1930) we watch as a woman hides her stockings and knickers from the gaze of the escaped convict ...
...only to wave them at him moments later.
The next woman he meets also can't stop herself from removing her stockings on screen.
Over She Goes (1937) also has a scene of man wandering around with the leading lady's stockings in his breast pocket and her 'step-in' underwear hanging off his tailcoat - until he bumps into his girlfriend and gets into trouble:
In 'Cheer Up' the audience gets to see Sally Gray dancing in her knickers and leaning out of the window in her underwear:
And in Brief Ecstasy Hugh Williams seems to have an obsession with Linden Travers's legs. He's constantly touching or staring at them:
So next time someone refers to the early evidence of voyeuristic tendencies in Alfred Hitchcock's work in The 39 Steps, you can tell them: "Everyone was at it in British films in the thirties ..."
Oh well, I suppose some things never change ...

In a nutshell
Teenage marriage and births are associated with various adverse outcomes that include poorer education and labour market outcomes, higher welfare dependency and crime.
The extension of compulsory schooling in Turkey has substantially reduced the probability of marriage for girls aged 12-14, as well as for 15 and 16-year-olds, who are not mandated to stay in school.
Since nearly all births are to married women, the reduction in marriage probability for girls younger than 17 translates into a reduction in first births for 15 to 17-year-olds.
Teenage marriages and births continue to be high on the agenda in many countries, rich and poor. A recent report notes that 12 million girls get married each year before they turn 18, a figure that translates into 650 million women who are alive today (International Center for Research on Women, 2018).
Turkey is among the middle-income countries that face significant levels of teenage marriages and births. According to the 2013 Turkish Demographic and Health Survey (TDHS), 22% of women aged 25-49 were married before they were 18.
Teenage marriage and births are associated with various adverse outcomes that include poorer education and labour market outcomes, higher welfare dependency and crime. The children of teenage mothers also carry a higher risk of teenage motherhood and have worse labour market, education and health outcomes.
Evidence suggests a strong negative correlation between teenage marriage and education. In the case of Turkey, among women aged 25-49 in 2013, while the median age of marriage was 18.9 for those with no school degree, it was 24.6 for those with a high school diploma or above.
But does this observation imply causality? In other words, would an increase in women's schooling decrease teenage marriage and births? If this is indeed the case, compulsory schooling policies that mandate children to stay in school up to a certain age or for a pre-determined number of years may work to reduce teen marriages and births.
An increase in years of education may increase the age at marriage and first birth for two reasons. The first is the 'compulsory attendance effect', which arises because schooling and marriage are incompatible events. Requiring teens to stay in school longer would delay their entry into the marriage market and this would delay childbearing, particular in conservative societies, where giving birth out of wedlock is not socially acceptable. A rigid sequence of events of completion of education, marriage and birth of the first child that is observed in various countries (Blossfeld and De Rose, 1992) is also the case in Turkey, where the average time between marriage and first birth is 1.6 years.
The second reason for more years in education raising women's age at marriage and first birth is the 'human capital effect'. With increased schooling, the opportunity cost of marriage and raising children increases for women because of their higher market wages. Other human capital-related factors include more effective use of contraceptives, higher bargaining power in fertility decisions, and changes in marriage and fertility preferences of women with higher levels of schooling.
In an attempt to understand how compulsory schooling affects teenage marriages and births, our recent study (Kırdar et al, 2018) analyses data from the 2008 and 2013 TDHS. We study the 1997 schooling reform that extended compulsory schooling from five to eight years, and which resulted in a substantial increase in the number of students in grades 1 to 8. The completion of grade 8 would earn the students a basic education diploma, which would entitle them to continue to high school.
In an earlier study (Kırdar et al, 2016), we establish that the policy not only increased completion rates in the newly mandated schooling levels but also had 'spillover effects' onto high school, with the result that women's completed years of schooling increased by more than a year.
The 2008 and 2013 TDHS cover women aged 15-49. Using these two data sets, we construct histories of 'ever-married' status and 'ever-given-birth' status until age 19 or until the current age at the time of the survey, whichever comes earlier. In our empirical analysis, we study how the policy has affected the ever-married status, ever-given-birth status, time to first birth after marriage, and the number of children ever born to women at each age.
Our results indicate that the extension of compulsory schooling reduces the probability of teenage marriages: the probability of girls getting married at ages 12-14 – the years in which they are mandated to remain in school (grade levels 6 to 8) – is reduced, which is likely to be due to the compulsory attendance effect.
But the probability of marriage is also reduced for 15 and 16-year-olds, who are not mandated to stay in school, suggesting a human capital effect. The size of the policy effect is quite substantial: the probability of marriage by age 16 is reduced by about 50%.
When we examine the marriage hazard rates, we find a lower rate at age 15. (The hazard rate for 16-year-olds is generally lower as well but statistically insignificant.) But the probability of marriage at age 17 conditional on not getting married until that age increases due to the policy, pointing to a catching-up effect that was not present at ages 15 and 16. As a result, the probability of being ever-married reverts to its pre-policy level after age 17.
Since nearly all births are to married women, the reduction in marriage probability for girls younger than 17 translates into a reduction in first birth for 15 to 17-year-olds. The probability of giving birth by age 17 is reduced by almost 50% due to the policy. But we do not find a policy effect beyond age 17.
Furthermore, we find that once a woman (who is almost certainly out of school) is married, there is no policy effect on the time to first birth. We interpret these findings as suggesting a strong compulsory attendance effect, but a relatively short-lived human capital effect of compulsory schooling.
If girls are postponing getting married and giving birth to their first child due to the extension of compulsory schooling, the number of children born to these women must also fall. Indeed, this is what we find.
The number of children born to a woman by age 18 is reduced. We estimate the size of the effect to be on the order of 0.07 to 0.10. Due to the relatively recent application of the reform, we are yet to determine whether the reform will lead to a reduction in the total number of children ever born these women by the end of their reproductive years.
But our finding that the total number of children is not reduced for women a little older than 18 (for example, at age 20) suggests that perhaps the total number of children born will remain the same.
In summary, we find that the extension of compulsory schooling – which was motivated by concerns other than the welfare of teenage mothers and their children (see Kırdar et al. 2016) – has had an unintended effect of reducing teenage marriage and the number children born to teenage women. These changes, in turn, are likely to have positive welfare effects at the country level.
