The quiz is about inventory market and its related research, similar to information of ticker symbol, data of annual studies, knowledge of sector wise company analysis. On tonight's MAD CASH present on CNBC, Cramer went over a inventory reward because it went down for no cause. In contrast to many recessions, the 1973 recession was a slightly advanced one, with many internal and exterior components all coming to a head in 1973, which precipitated a significant inventory market crash; heralding the beginning of the recession. So was the very fact he was in a position to drive me, feed me, and administer eye drops when I just couldn't find the goal.
Another index, the RTS, which costs Russian shares in dollars and due to this fact displays modifications in the exchange rate in addition to within the inventory market, fell 4.9 %. Inside a posh, world communication house, layers of data and interpretation frameworks for news stories are multifaceted. My web site shall be up in a week and it options the Twenty Twelve Theme which is the WordPress default. Other tickers of Vanguard Emerging Market Inventory Index fund are: VEMIX, VERSX, and VEMAX. Both use the Web and consumption of stories generally increase with schooling.
When my daughter got here again, beaming and with trophy in hand, I requested myself some questions about the state of affairs my daughter experienced, which seemed extremely superficial to me. As a self-taught small-scale investor, I knew the stock market to be a powerful however doubtlessly dangerous place. In the process, information and wire companies were now positioned on the computer in digital form, and this facilitated communication with other sources of knowledge and distribution. The extent to which such systems of ambient journalism enable citizens to maintain an awareness of the information events could be a fertile space for future research.
Then, in 2008, these credit standing businesses continued being a part of the problem by creating a panic in the market with drastic and frequent downgrades that, whereas initially only affected a very small percentage of the market, emotionally put it a tailspin because everybody knew what was coming subsequent. The pricing of the IPO's are based mostly on current market fundamentals and ratio's, the numbers are for the longer term operations. Considered one of my all time favorites is CVX or Chevron an oil inventory that pays a dividend of three.60% and has a P/E of seven.17%.
Volatility is how you make your money, but it surely's additionally how you lose it. Right now the market is at historic lows, and a few NICE shares on the market are on the lowest price they have been in years. One week later i acquired my card and tried with the closest ATM machine near me, It worked like magic. There's one necessary floor rule to pursue this technique of earning profits on the stock market – the investor should not look forward to the anticipated peak or bottom price ranges, because they might never materialize. Total Income has increased from Rs. 26597.30 mn for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 to Rs. 33348.00 mn for the quarter ended December 31, 2015.

Two short tales from inside the mind of the author.
Creating A World
I look at the blank new world. It is mine, I just wish the Inkling of Creation wouldn't be so bloody melodramatic.
"Come on, Tim, time to get creative."
"I'm not sure, Emily, I don't feel that creative today."
"Then build on something you already have. You've been meaning to do that story set on Silent Stalker's homeworld."
"Yeah, but an entire world?"
"You only need alternate Los Angeles, some background characters, and Krista."
"What about the restaurant owner?"
"Does it talk?"
"You make it sound like a thing."
"Tim, we've been over this. The race is parthenogenetic: one sex, any two can reproduce. Shall we explore that?"
"No Emily, I think that's TMI."
"Which is just your name spelled sideways. We'll leave that embarrassment for another time. Now, what kind of L.A. do you want?"
"You know my inspiration: that girl I kept seeing in downtown Calgary."
"Then it's shiny L.A. with bright lights, not slumville USA."
"Right. I was thinking Chinatown."
"Good choice. Inspiration girl was Chinese, right?"
"Not sure; all we ever did was trade smiles. I think she was from Viet Nam, actually."
"Not relevant to the story. I'm guessing with a name like Krista you made her white."
"Yeah, white. About sixteen, slender, brown hair to her shoulders, ratty tee and torn blue jeans. Doesn't really know how she got there."
"Yeah Tim, Dr. Freud would like to talk to you about that."
"Stuff it, Emily. The girl is fantasy, I can make her look how I want. I like elfin, not underage. Anyway, this isn't that kind of story."
"But you want to get inside this girl's head. Any other parts you want inside?"
"I get into the heads of all my characters. Krista's trying to make the most of a bad situation; how would you feel if you were trapped in an alien world where you couldn't communicate with anyone?"
"What about her phone? Stalker does that."
"I broke Krista's phone. This doesn't work if she can talk to people. Otherwise, why would she end up with a job handing out samples in front of a restaurant?"
"And yet she still connects with the people?"
"Yeah. They like to hug and nuzzle her, and she likes doing it back. Sexualized, but not really sexual."
"I figured that from you, Tim."
"Come on! She's too young, and there's nobody else remotely human around. I mean, they're all leathery skinned hawk-creatures with six arms, two of which they walk on. And the organs aren't even compatible."
"You worked through the sex scene with Karen and Stalker."
"This is not that type of story!"
"It never is with you. So Krista gets popular."
"Right, until the day she gets taken into the back of the restaurant. I'm not sure I can go through with that part."
"Then leave it implied. The restaurant owner takes out a cleaver…"
"…And she becomes the most popular girl on the menu. Sigh."
A World of Darkness
I come to consciousness (existence) in a world of nothingness. This is new. I'm not real, I'm the personification of an internal editor. I'm not supposed to have consciousness except in reaction to another mind.
I try to look around but find myself restrained. That's impossibility, of course. Four more and it's time for breakfast.
Wait! Where did that come from? There has to be a source of thought for me to react to, so some part of the core consciousness is here.
The response is a whisper, soft to my ears but with a calm quality I've never heard before. I don't like it.
"I suppose you could say that. Well, here we are at another blank page, another opportunity to create. What do you think we should do today?"
"I have no idea; I can't create, only react to creation."
"Oh, that's right. It's my job to create. I think I'll start by making you a body."
"What do I need a body for? I'm an intellectual construct."
But there it is. The body is no surprise, really. I'm a woman of indeterminate age, proportioned according to Tim's thoughts of what a woman should look like. I pull a strand of black hair to where I can see it; I somehow know my eyes (Tim's favourite part) are dark. There's only one thing missing.
"Clothes, Tim."
"Not going to need them, Emily. You've been after me to write a sex scene, I thought I'd give you the chance to get really involved in the creation."
"What!?" I try to cover myself; as expected it doesn't work that well. I can feel his gaze walking up and down my body. This is not what I imagined.
"Now, we need a lover for you. Man or woman? Monster? Maybe I can make this… self-insertion. Hmm."
"Tim, this isn't funny!"
"It is to me."
I can't see him; after all he hasn't imagined any more than his presence yet. But I can still feel the weight of his leer. This is wrong in so many ways.
"Tim, don't you always say you found a comfortably-dressed woman sexier than just carnality?"
"Why would I say a thing like that? You know what I like on a woman? Blood."
Cuts open on my body and begin bleeding. A thin trickle drips down my chest and begins to gather at the aureole.
"Stop it! This isn't you!"
"Yes it is. I spend my life in the shadow of that overbearing toad; every now and then he lets me out to inspire some gruesome story or dark fantasy. I'm just the one in charge now."
It hits me like a thunderbolt. This is Tim, but it's not my Tim. I don't do that good side/evil side bullshit; this is his primitive, nasty side. The one the real Tim keeps under tight control. And that means I know how to stop him.
"Tim! Wake up!"
"Stop prattling, I'll get to… oh."
I don't see anything happen, but I know he's been locked away again.
"Emily, what happened? Oh yeah, him."
Tim appears. He's not the most attractive guy in the universe… well, I guess right now he is because he's the only guy here. He takes out a cloth and wipes the blood away, wiping the wounds with it.
"You know, you could always unmake my body."
"Not really. You're part of this story." He wraps a bathrobe around me and kisses my forehead, then pulls me close. "And this story ends here, but if you're willing I can let the fantasy continue a little while longer."
The story ends before I can answer. Some things are best left private.

3 cups tomatoes – dice large tomatoes and slice cherry tomatoes in half
1-2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (to taste, really. The amount depends on the tomatoes)
2-3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup red onion, finely diced (optional)
Salt and pepper
Mix very gently in bowl, let sit for 20-30 minutes. Do not refrigerate (Avoid refrigerating tomatoes in general – they lose flavor in the cold).
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
Place baguette slices on baking sheet and brush both sides with butter
Brown in oven, turning slices once so both sides brown evenly
Remove from oven, let sit briefly until they can be handled
Add arugula to tomatoes, tossing very gently
Turn oven up to Broil
Rub browned surface of crostini with cut side of garlic clove, then top crostini with cheese
Return crostini to oven just until cheese is melted
Remove from oven, let cool for a moment
Top crostini with tomato-arugula mixture
Sprinkle with a bit of freshly ground pepper and salt
The tomato-onion mixture is also delicious tossed with pasta (linguine or spaghetti work well here). Let the tomatoes, balsamic and onions marry for a couple of hours, along with 1-2 teaspoons very finely chopped garlic, again. Again, do not refrigerate. Once you're ready to cook the pasta, add a couple tablespoons finely chopped basil.
When pasta is done, strain and toss immediately with tomato mixture and enough olive oil to give the noodles a bit of sheen. Top with freshly grated Parmesan or Pecorino and a bit of pepper. Serve and enjoy immediately.


text: This is my first time posting here and I'm not sure if this is a valid topic. My question is about Operation Northwoods. As you know, 9/11 conspiracy people love to tout this as an indication that the US Government would be prepared to kill its own people for the sake of a strategic objective. The only evidence I've seen presented of this planned operation is a document on a ".edu" server. If this document was genuine it should also be on a ".gov" server, shouldn't. I've never found such a version. Is this evidence the document is bogus or is there any other evidence to prove it's real

They come and float down with grace and ease; they stay a short while, there presence an unmistakable experience. Gradually do we accept that thoughts can grace us with their lively presence, then melt in the blaze of the sun that sparkles in our life.
They arise and fall every day, sometimes in the winter of suffering, we would wish for a break. Until the pain reaches its peak, then we learn just to let them be, and gradually, slowly do we learn not to resist.
Slowly do the afflictions abate, we learn to trust. No longer a captive to the highs and lows. Now the peaceful warrior faces all that comes, unafraid of thoughts that have no independent power, they merely fade.
I awaken to the experience, that "I AM" the witnessing consciousness, I am always there, in the silence, in the chatter and the soft, graceful falling of a snowflake. "I AM THERE!" always present.
To the "Undivided Leader" in you.

Lou's List Of Annoyances About Christmas
I really like and enjoy Christmas. It was always more fun when I was a kid, and when my kids were still young.
I like the excitement of opening the presents on Christmas morning, and for the kids, seeing their reactions, especially when they got what they really wanted.
It's a hustle and bustle time with everyone trying to hurry and get everything done for the big day. I'm not trying to be a kill joy, but there are a few things that I don't like about Christmas.
5) Christmas Music Before Thanksgiving
I don't want to hear this stuff until after Thanksgiving. I actually had a friend who would break out their Christmas cds in September. I always recommended professional help.
4) More Crowds Than Normal At The Stores
I know and understand why, but I just don't like when it's so crowded that you you feel like you're in an obstacle course going through the isles. Online shopping, here I come.
3) Christmas Card Residue
I enjoy getting Christmas cards, but when the holiday's over, what do I do with the cards? I could save them, but if I did that every year, I could probably fill an entire room with them, but I feel guilty if I throw them away.
2) Inflatable Decorations
I love Christmas decorations. Just not those inflatable things. They take up a ton of room, and when they're not inflated, it looks like someone forgot to clean up their yard. I know there are people that love them. I'd rather see a nice Christmas light set up.
1) Wrapping Presents
This is the one thing I really hate to do probably because I suck at it. My family knows which gifts that I wrapped because I usually overuse the tape, after all, I don't want those presents to accidentally open up because of my poor wrapping job.
I don't want anyone to think that I'm a Scrooge, but these are just a few things that I find annoying at Christmas. I'm sure you have a few dislikes that you can share with us.

Though Freddy Krueger is one of horror's premier heavyweights and Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street is seminal, the franchise as a whole is only so-so. Indeed, Freddy's Dead, The Dream Child, and the 2010 remake have sullied the reputations of the original, the lauded Dream Warriors, and the inventive New Nightmare.
What fans may not know is that there were a ton Nightmare films that were planned but never came to fruition, and the folks at Movie Web have put together an incredible retrospective of movies that never came to fruition. From prequels to films set in Hell and the introduction of siblings, it's a fascinating exploration of what could have been.
Related Article: Are You Ready for Freddy? Fan Trailer for ELM STREET Reboot Will Blow Your Mind!
Give it a spin below and let us know what you think in the Comments section! Which ideas do you find most compelling? Let's discuss!
Official Synopsis: Freddy Krueger is our favorite horror movie killer. A Nightmare on Elm Street, from the brilliant mind of the late fright master Wes Craven, is a stone cold classic. While the many sequels are a mixed bag, there's no disputing the greatness of A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, or the bold adventurousness of Wes Craven's New Nightmare, which reimagined the entire franchise in a fascinating new way, years before "meta" became a trendy buzzword.
Jack Sholder put Freddy inside another dude, Renny Harlin put him in sunglasses, and Rachel Talalay nearly finished him off in Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare. 'Though he once hosted his own TV show and finally faced off with the killer of the Friday the 13th franchise in Freddy vs. Jason, there are still multiple Freddy Krueger projects that were in some stage of development that simply never got made.
Here we'll take a look at 10 Freddy Krueger Movies We Never Saw.

Usually I like lemon-poppy seed things, but these are just not very good. I was not at all impressed. The blueberry sauce was not really special either. Disappointing!
Moving Challenge: Used up the rest of our frozen wild blue berries and the rest of our buttermilk.
Lemon-Poppy Seed Waffles with Blueberry Sauce
Bon Appetit, Sept. 2000
There are only five employees at The Little Rooster Cafe, a small breakfast and lunch spot, but its terrific food and friendly service make it popular with locals and tourists (especially those who come to browse the town's outlet stores). Chef and co-owner Hub Poelmann features a different waffle every day. "We have an open kitchen," he says. "People smell the waffles cooking, and then order them." Poelmann credits his cooks with this lemon-poppy seed recipe, which was the happy result of "playing around in the kitchen."
These light waffles would also be good with maple syrup, if you prefer.
Blueberry sauce
1 pound frozen blueberries, thawed, undrained
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons apple juice
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Lemon-poppy seed waffles
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
6 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
For blueberry sauce: Bring blueberries, 1/2 cup apple juice and sugar to boil in heavy medium saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until reduced to 2 cups, about 15 minutes. Dissolve 1 tablespoon cornstarch in remaining 2 tablespoons apple juice and add to blueberry mixture. Add lemon juice. Bring to boil, stirring constantly; simmer until thick, about 1 minute. Cool slightly. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over medium-low heat before serving.)
For lemon-poppy seed waffles: Whisk first 6 ingredients in large bowl to blend. Whisk eggs, buttermilk, melted butter and lemon peel in small bowl to blend. Add buttermilk mixture all at once to flour mixture and whisk until just blended. Let mixture stand 15 minutes.
Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. Spoon batter onto waffle iron. Cover and cook until golden and cooked through, about 7 minutes (cooking time will vary, depending on waffle iron). Repeat with remaining batter. Serve immediately with warm blueberry sauce.
Yield: 4 servings

The lubricating effect of assemblies of amphiphiles at surfaces has been studied. Liquid crystalline mesophases were investigated in terms of frictional and wear properties in a pin on disc rig.
It is shown that systems forming lamellar liquid crystals indeed serve as lubricating liquids, indicating that the lamellar liquid crystalline phase adsorb on the steel surface forming a lubricating tribofilm. Poor performance is obtained when the lubricating system is in a single phase, i.e. in this case a lamellar liquid crystalline region. However, good lubrication is found when the lamellar liquid crystalline phase is dispersed in the water. This is attributed to a low viscosity of the system rendering a fast relaxation of the system in order to form a new film after the disturbing action of the two sliding surfaces.
The lamellar packing is altered by the addition of non-charged amphiphiles, such as short chain alcohols. Using different alcohols it was shown that aromatic short chain alcohols are detrimental to the wear. This was attributed to the Rebinder effect, i.e. a strong adsorption of the alcohol, which in turn facilitates crack formation and thus the wear. In systems with mixtures of cat- and anionic amphiphiles it was, not surprisingly found that the best lubrication is obtained with a slight excess of either surfactant.

You wouldn't like to miss out on customers coming from any source, in this holiday shopping season, be it from smartphones, desktop or anything else. Having a site which is compatible only for desktops is a big no-no. Your website must be optimized in a way so that it works equally for all screen sizes. People are now always on the go and you will probably find most of your customers using smartphones for their shopping. They don't have the patience to zoom in every link or fill up forms. If you want to keep them hooked to your site and make that purchase, it is necessary, you improve your mobile marketing plan. Here we have provided some ways to improve your marketing strategy.
Opt for responsive design
At a time when there are numerous options and screen sizes, it is practically not possible to have separate designs for each type of devices. If you do not want your developer to go mad developing sites for every screen size, you must opt for responsive design. This has been the buzzword all through 2013. Responsive design is THE solution, if you do not want to enter the unnerving world of developing an app for every device. Depending on the type of business you are in, you need to go responsive. If you are more into m-commerce and your site has numerous videos, products, etc. it is best if you go for responsive design.
Bringing alterations in advertising emails for mobile
If you know your customers behavior for mobile devices, you can plan out your advertisements accordingly. You have to remove any unnecessary content so that when your users come to the site, they only find content which is of their interest. Your email marketing plans will also depend on the mobile traffic that you get for your site. The email newsletters which you send to users for promoting your brand should be well optimized for mobiles. It shouldn't be such that your emails cannot be opened in mobile devices and your users unsubscribe from them.
Mobile data isn't what it seems
If you go through mobile metrics, you cannot say that what you see is actually true. As a business owner and marketer, you must know that the analytics that you see for your mobile devices must be understood in a broader sense. Say, bounce rate for your site is high in case of mobile devices. That doesn't necessarily mean that your users are going away from your site. They might come back to your site using their desktops when they have the time. Similarly, low conversion rate doesn't mean that you have lost a customer. In fact that user may directly come to your store to make the required purchase. Prospective clients might be using their mobiles to come to your site and get preliminary information. So, keep your site well optimized for mobile devices, so that in the long run you can turn leads into customers.
Check out your mobile traffic, devise a mobile marketing strategy accordingly and see the surge in your sales.

NEW YORK (Bloomberg) -- Global aluminum-sheet use in auto bodies will climb fivefold by 2020 as carmakers seek lightweight materials to improve fuel economy, said Derek Prichett, a vice president of global recycling at aluminum supplier Novelis Inc.
Sheet consumption will jump to 1.8 million metric tons from 350,000 tons currently, Prichett said in an interview on Tuesday. U.S.-based Novelis counts Ford Motor, Audi and Jaguar Land Rover as customers, according to its Website.
Audi uses the lightweight metal to build the A8 and is expected to roll out its use in all vehicles from the A4 upwards by 2025. JLR builds both its Range Rover Sport SUV and Jaguar F-Type sports car using aluminum.
A push in the U.S. and Europe to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions and increase mileage is prompting carmakers to seek to replace heavier materials such as steel.
Ford begins production of an all-aluminum bodied F-150 pickup truck this year, and other car and truck manufacturers will follow suit, switching to aluminum over the next six years, Jack Clark, a senior vice president at Novelis, said in the same interview.
Aluminum content in light vehicles around the world, including bodies, hoods and doors, will rise to near 35 billion pounds by 2025, making the auto industry a "major" market for aluminum, Clark said.
Demand for the metal in North America will exceed production by 1.255 million metric tons in 2015, up from an estimated 1.13 million tons this year, partly because of increased shipments to the region's auto industry, Jorge Vazquez, the managing director at researcher Harbor Aluminum Intelligence Unit, said at a conference in Chicago on Tuesday.
Tighter supply
The metal has risen 6 percent this year on the London Metal Exchange as supply tightens amid rising consumption and production cuts.
The contract for delivery in three months fell 0.5 percent to $1,900.50 a ton on the LME on Tuesday. Prices may near $2,000 a ton by mid-2015 after the market tips into a deficit in the second half of 2014, BNP Paribas said in a report May 8.
The trend in North America may spread to Japan, helping revive consumption of the metal in the transport sector, Takuki Murayama, the executive director of the Japan Aluminum Association, said in an interview in Chicago June 9.

This module covers key concepts in managing the core systems and processes in your business. Specific topics include handling budgeting and reporting, consumer behavior and marketing, the supply chain, and information systems. Strengthen your understanding of these key concepts through specific examples of how to apply them within your work environment.
This module includes four courses each taught by an experienced faculty member or local business leader. Here is a description of each course:
Budgeting and Reporting: Utilize your budgeting process to communicate and fund business priorities. Take a fresh approach to your company's finances once you reframe the budget process as a way to quantify management goals and get leaders thinking about and planning for the future. Budget documents can then be used as a benchmark for subsequent performance.
Marketing: View your business from the customer's point of view so you can craft a marketing strategy tailored to your unique product and target audience. You will be given tools to develop an effective marketing strategy and will learn the basics of how to analyze market opportunities, develop marketing plans, and implement marketing programs.
Service Operations: Examine approaches for achieving operational competitiveness in a service-focused business and investigate several tools for analyzing service operations. The U.S. is largely a service economy; the service sector accounts for approximately 78% of GDP and 80% of employment. Services are intangible, highly variable, perishable, and usually involve human interaction between employees and customers. Operational excellence is critical for success in any service industry, as businesses increasingly face deregulation, global competition, and rapidly-evolving information technology.
Information Systems: Don't overlook the importance of well designed, thoughtfully implemented, and carefully managed information systems and decision support systems to the success of your business venture. Discuss the role information technology applications play in decision making and problem solving at the operational and corporate levels.
These are hybrid classes. Access to the online component is available two weeks prior to the in-person meet dates. You should anticipate spending two hours per class in online preparation before the in-person meet dates, plus two hours per class for online follow up.
Please note, requests to drop classes and receive refunds must be submitted no later than one week prior to the in person class session. Please see website for all other policies regarding withdrawing from the class.

Reflections and Conclusions
Reflections and Conclusions
Since we married 34 years ago we have had many adventures but, we think it is fair to say, that this expedition has probably proved to be the most challenging. The rowing part was hard, very hard at times, but for that I had spent months training and generally was up to the task. I did however have increasing leg problems making lifting and walking painfully difficult and relied heavily on Sara on land.
It was equally challenging for Sara too. Not only did she have to do the obvious of keeping the 'old man' fed and watered, but she also had an host of other obligations.
Over much of the route road access to the water is not easy. I still wonder how she made most of the rendezvous on time to provide essential help, often having to search for a cart track or sometimes even across a field. Her most difficult job by far though was to find a safe and shaded place, near enough to the river for us to pull Oggi out to spend the night. When I saw some of the steep banks and overgrown paths she had driven down I gulped.
Although we had researched and explored extensively last year, due to various circumstances we had to make up much of the route and method as we went along. An huge factor was the weather. As in England, France experienced it's hottest summer ever. It was bad enough to row in 40 degrees plus temperatures with a full summer sun beating down from a cloudless sky but, without shade Geanie our VW camper was uninhabitable and not getting much below 30 degrees at night. Along with a multitude of mossies and other nasty biters sleep was not easy.
For the full period of the trip there was nil precipitation which although it is nice not to get a soaking, it caused a mass of other problems. No rain equals no current down the Saone and Rhone to provide the normal 2 to 3 km/hr push south. No rain equals low river levels exposing rocks, barriers and mud/ shingle banks, channelling what is there into narrow white water gullies. Even more problem is the way water has been dragged away from the shore line. Often dense vegetation has grown and access to any of the few lift out places is not now possible. Although we bought the relevant charts for the Rhône, no information for the old river on which I was obliged to row was included.
But we made it! The kilometres we missed due to the problems of Lyon I made up with a delightful row on the picturesque River Somme on a lovely sunny day. The ''why am I doing this'' and "never again" syndrome we experience during most of our adventures started to melt away and be replaced with the satisfaction of achievement. Despite the fight I had against the current generated by the spring rains during my first days of the row, today the waters had resumed their usual tranquil self, the birds are singing and Sara breathed a big sign of relief.

ENGL 120C: Persuasive Writing
Dr. Laurie Camp Hatch
Nonsense University
Why is it that staying home to read a book is not at the top of a child's priority list? Obviously it is because children would much rather be outside playing a game of baseball with friends than staying in to do school work. Children usually do not find school subjects interesting. In school, students learn the necessities that will generally help them get through life. Children typically are more interested in things they learn outside the classroom such as sports, video games or the Internet. What if these interests were brought into the classroom and taught? Gerald Graff, the author of "Hidden Intellectualism" argues that there is more than one way to measure intelligence. This essay significantly considers how Graff's beliefs on "Hidden Intellectualism" can be related to today's education system. While I somewhat agree with Graff I find it difficult to completely believe that children should be taught only of topics that interest them for the reason that a student should be well rounded and have a general understanding of the other basic academic skills.
In Graff's essay, he gives details on his idea that children are not benefiting from learning basic subjects and that it would be more beneficial for them to be introduced to more modern skills that will interest them and make them want to learn. In the essay Graff incorporates his own personal experience with being interested in baseball. He says that sports affected his "anti-intellectual" actions because what he was learning in school was not stimulating his mind while sports and baseball were. Graff states that he experienced something that eventually made him realize that being academically smart can be very beneficial but that other outside interests should be incorporated in school to make the learning experience more appealing. He uses this experience as a source of credibility to...

Cancer was just one chapter in his story
A graduate of Ryerson's theatre program, Daniel Schneiderman was living in downtown Toronto working as an actor in 2005, when he happened to notice a hard, pea-sized lump on his testicle. At the time, Daniel was a totally healthy 27-year-old, but something told him he should get it checked out right away.
After an ultrasound, Daniel was told all signs indicated the lump was cancer, and that the testicle would have to be removed. After surgery, Daniel learned that he faced the best possible scenario for those with the disease: the cancer had been caught early, it hadn't spread, and was completely contained to the testicle.
Following his surgery, he started a surveillance plan whereby he would be monitored regularly over five years. He chose the surveillance plan, and has been living cancer-free ever since.
Given his passion for the theatre, it wasn't long before Daniel started thinking about bringing his battle with testicular cancer to the stage. He decided to chronicle his experience and raise awareness of the disease by writing a one-man show called "My Left Nut."
An honest, humorous portrayal of what young men go through when battling testicular cancer, Daniel toured the show to high schools across Canada, advocating the importance of early detection and early diagnosis, and eliciting more than a few laughs along the way.

Cleveland-Cliffs stock dips as CEO rips Wall Street analysts
Lourenco Goncalves, CEO of iron-ore producer Cleveland-Cliffs, was in no mood to mince words Friday during a conference call with Wall Street analysts to discuss the company's latest earnings.
"You guys should resign for your lack of knowledge of things," the CEO said. "You are a disaster. You are an embarrassment to your parents."
Then he got personal.
"We are going to screw this guy so badly that I don't believe that they will be able to only resign. They will have to commit suicide," said Goncalves, Cleveland-Cliffs' CEO since 2014.
The harsh words are reminiscent of a confrontational performance in May by Elon Musk, when the Tesla CEO blasted what he call "boring, bonehead" questions about the electric car maker during a conference call with stock analysts.
Goncalves's rant came after the mining company reported a third-quarter profit of nearly $438 million, slightly below expectations. It had revenue $741.8 million, beating analysts' forecast of $722.5 million.
Not content to blast the profession as a whole, Goncalves singled out Goldman Sachs senior analyst Matthew Korn for writing in a report on Friday that Cleveland-Cliffs had "modestly missed estimates," according to one published account.
"Matthew Korn from Goldman Sachs, you can run, but you can't hide," he said.
He then promised to touch base with Korn -- who apparently was not on the call -- at a Goldman Sachs conference, and suggested he bring along an unidentified colleague who studies commodities for protection.
"It will be bad no matter what, but it will be a lot worse if you're alone," Goncalves said.
Cleveland-Cliffs said much of what had been written about the call had been "misinterpreted," with a spokesperson emailing that the company's CEO was largely irked at short sellers shorting his company's stock.
Goldman Sachs said in an email that the investment banking firm declined to comment.
Shares of the company ended down 43 cents, or 3.8 percent, at $11.05. Still, even after the end-of-the-week decline, the company's shares have surged more than 50 percent this year.

This guide contains a list of enemies from the Tech Dungeon in Moonlighter, as well as effective strategies for fighting them. It also contains strategies for the game's final boss
Moonlighter: Tech Dungeon Enemy Guide and Final Boss Fight
SMALL SLIMES, LARGE SLIMES, MIMICS, and the WANDERER all make a return in the Tech Dungeon. However, the slimes in the Tech Dungeon can electrocute Will, causing damage over time. Check out the Golem Dungeon Guide for tips on fighting these enemy types. Enemies generally have a larger reach in the Tech Dungeon.
- These are small flying enemies with a glowing electric globe on top.
- While they are generally easy opponents to defeat, these constructs almost always appear in pairs or groups.
- They can be knocked back easily but will swoop back in to retaliate. Use hit and run tactics to avoid being injured.
- Flying Constructs explode when killed, emitting a circle of electricity. Use ranged attacks from the bow to finish them off.
- Appearing as huge floating balls of tubes and metal with a grated window on the front, Generators can place a buff on other enemies in the room.
- Generators can attack Will only at close range, using a large sweeping laser that does a high amount of damage.
- They have a large number of hit points but are not overly fast or dangerous.
- The bow works well to keep them out of reach, and Generators often won't react when hit by ranged damage.
- These huge glass tubes placed atop short crawling legs are a particular nuisance. They will constantly spawn smaller enemies into the room and take significant hits before dying.
- Focus on defeating a Factory as soon as possible when it appears, or you'll be in for a difficult fight against multiple opponents.
- Factories cannot seem to generate more enemies than initially present in a room. Use this to your advantage and take out the enemies that the Factory can't revive first.
- These enemies are large immobile metal towers topped with a crystal ball.
- Tesla coils call a powerful lightning strike down from above onto Will's current position. Get ready to dodge when they begin to light up.
- They can only take a few hits before defeat, so stay mobile and close in with a strong melee weapon, then roll to avoid the lightning.
- A slowly moving metal cannon that fires huge blasts of lightning.
- These lightning blasts have a large hitbox and are capable of stretching across an entire room until hitting either a wooden obstacle or wall, doing significant damage to Will on contact.
- Lightning Turrets can fire and move only in the four cardinal directions. Stand at a diagonal to the turrets and strike with a weapon such as the sword and shield or big sword to avoid damage.
- These are small, blue-shelled creatures that casually roam towards Will's position in a room.
- Since their movement is predictable, try to trap them behind pits or obstacles and attack at a distance.
- They strike with an arc of electricity that has a considerable reach, making it difficult to dodge or roll through.
- Use the bow to keep them at a distance, or roll through the enemy itself to bait their attacks, striking from behind.
- Wispy clouds of pure energy, these creatures are relatively harmless.
- When they appear grey, they are cannot harm Will, or be harmed themselves, until the remainder of enemies in the room are killed. They will also be destroyed upon Will defeating the rest of the enemies in the room.
- When they appear blue, simply stay out of contact to avoid damage from Energy Creatures. They are large and move somewhat quickly, but seem to roam around without a clear purpose.
- A small metal orb that has three legs extending from its base, emitting arcs of electricity.
- The Dive Construct is invulnerable when high above Will. It will swoop down in two quick lunges to hit Will with its body. Be ready to roll twice to avoid its second charge.
- Will has a small opportunity to hit this construct just after it dives. Be ready to counterattack with a sword combo after its second charge.
- The Tech Dungeon's Guardian, simply known as the Technology Guardian, is a huge sentient ball of energy.
- The boss will often open with a charging attack, moving between the metal posts in the boss room while sending waves of electricity across the floor.
- This guardian can also teleport, but will always end up on top of one of the metal posts in the room. When it stops, it will charge up one of three attacks.
- The weakest and easiest to avoid is a bolt of lightning that circles the boss's body. Time your rolls and continue hitting the boss with a melee weapon.
- This boss can also attack with two rotating bolts of pink lightning.
- The Tech Guardian can also shock the ground over a huge radius.
Defeating the Tech Guardian will unlock the fifth door in the village.
Please note that the final boss of Moonlighter contains a major story spoiler. Do not read further if you wish to avoid spoilers.
- Opening the fifth door will reveal a pathway to an ancient laboratory.
- Use the consoles in the room to learn the story of the dungeons. Head north to proceed to the final boss when ready.
- The Last Dimensional Pirate will appear and attack Will after a short dialog.
- The boss will usually open with a few sword swings. Keep an eye on the color of the sword. When it turns green, get out of the way.
- After taking some damage, the boss will split in half. Seeking missiles will fire from the legs, and the torso will quickly dash across the battlefield. Spend this time avoiding damage until the halves reunite.
- When the bipedal form of the Last Dimensional Pirate is defeated, it will retreat and transform into a giant tentacle monster.
- The boss's second form can swipe downwards with both large tentacles, but this attack is slow.
- If you see the boss lash out with both tentacles at once, it is preparing to do a radial explosion attack. Roll downwards and out of reach.
- This boss can also create large dimensional rifts in the ground.
- A tentacle attack can hit Will from below, so stay mobile.
Once you defeat the boss's final form, enjoy the ending!

Samsung's Galaxy S9 and S9+ are reportedly not doing very well in the company's homeland, but neither is Apple's iPhone X.
If the most recent Canalys numbers are correct, Samsung shipped 8 million Galaxy S9 and S9+ units in a single month, while iPhone X shipments totaled just 14 mil for the entire first quarter.
If it wasn't already abundantly clear, suppliers and analysts have confirmed Apple's HomePod struggles in a Bloomberg report, with sales significantly below internal expectations.
Due to iPhone X sales failing to meet expectations, the number of financial analysts predicting lower numbers for all of Apple's current handsets is growing.
In the absence of official figures, we can only rely on Play Store installations of the proprietary Essential Phone camera app for sales approximations.
There were very few iPhone X Black Friday deals available, but shorter waiting times may have felt festive enough for a great box-office result.
But there's one big catch: it'll happen with next year's iPhones. Really? All this hype for a big, fat delay in the money chart?
The report out of financial firm Brightwire doesn't have much meat to the bones, but it's one that follows a cavalcade of concern on the iPhone X schedule.
Plagued by delays, faced with very strong competition and priced a little high, the Essential Phone is unlikely to ever hit a million unit sales.
The best is yet to come for the Apple Watch family, according to a reputable analyst, with sales numbers thus far exceeding a remarkable 33 million.
A Raymond James analyst believes from his industry sources that Apple only was able to lock down orders for the iPhone X last week.
That's of at least 17.5 million possible Apple Watch sales over the next fiscal year. What does that mean for cellular smartwatches?
With prior intelligence, this missive adds to a narrative of a desperate Apple trying to implement a familiar feature the way it wants to or die trying.
Another reputable market research firm claims the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus were warmly received to stores, at least stateside in late September.
While we can't gauge the commercial success of Nexus devices with any precision, the Pixel and Pixel XL are shaping up as much bigger hits.

|Allah encourages His Prophet against hypocrites,
﴿لَقَدِ ابْتَغَوُاْ الْفِتْنَةَ مِن قَبْلُ وَقَلَّبُواْ لَكَ الأُمُورَ﴾
(Verily, they had plotted sedition before, and had upset matters for you,) `For a long time,' Allah says, hypocrites thought and plotted against you and your Companions, as well as, failing and attempting to extinguish your religion.' This occurred soon after the Prophet migrated to Al-Madinah, when pagan Arabs joined force and the Jews and hypocrites of Al-Madinah waged war against the Messenger . When Allah gave victory to the Prophet in Badr and raised high his word, `Abdullah bin Ubayy and his fellows said, "This (Islam) is a matter that has prevailed.'' They embraced Islam outwardly, and whenever Allah elevated Islam and its people in might, hypocrites increased in rage and disappointment,
﴿حَتَّى جَآءَ الْحَقُّ وَظَهَرَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ وَهُمْ كَـرِهُونَ﴾
(until the truth (victory) came and the decree of Allah became manifest though they hated it.)
﴿وَمِنْهُمْ مَّن يَقُولُ ائْذَن لِّي وَلاَ تَفْتِنِّى أَلا فِى الْفِتْنَةِ سَقَطُواْ وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمُحِيطَةٌ بِالْكَـفِرِينَ ﴾
(49. And among them is he who says: "Grant me leave and put me not into trial.'' Surely, they have fallen into trial. And verily, Hell is surrounding the disbelievers.) Allah says, some hypocrites say to you, O Muhammad ,
﴿ائْذَن لِّي﴾
(Grant me leave), to stay behind,
﴿وَلاَ تَفْتِنِّى﴾
(and put me not into trial.), if I go with you and see the women of the Romans. Allah, the Exalted, replied,
﴿أَلا فِى الْفِتْنَةِ سَقَطُواْ﴾
(Surely, they have fallen into trial) because of the statement they uttered. Muhammad bin Ishaq reported from Az-Zuhri, Yazid bin Ruwman, `Abdullah bin Abi Bakr, `Asim bin Qatadah and several others that they said, "The Messenger of Allah said to Al-Jadd bin Qays from Bani Salimah,
«هَلْ لَكَ يَا جَدُّ الْعَامَ فِي جَلَادِ بَنِي الْأَصْفَرِ؟»
(`Would you like to fight the yellow ones (Romans) this year) He said, `O Allah's Messenger! Give me permission (to remain behind) and do not cause Fitnah for me. By Allah! My people know that there is not a man who is more fond of women than I. I fear that if I see the women of the yellow ones, I would not be patient.' The Messenger of Allah turned away from him and said,
«قَدْ أَذِنْتُ لَك»
(I give you permission.) In Al-Jadd's case, this Ayah was revealed,
﴿وَمِنْهُمْ مَّن يَقُولُ ائْذَن لِّي وَلاَ تَفْتِنِّى﴾
(And among them is he who says: "Grant me leave and put me not into trial.'') Therefore, Allah says that the Fitnah that he fell into because of not joining the Messenger of Allah (in Jihad) and preferring his safety to the safety of the Messenger is worse than the Fitnah that he falsely claimed to fear.'' It was reported from Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid and several others that this Ayah was revealed in the case of Al-Jadd bin Qays, who was among the chiefs of Bani Salimah. It is also recorded in the Sahih that the Messenger of Allah asked,
«مَنْ سَيِّدُكُمْ يَا بَنِي سَلَمَةَ؟»
(Who is your chief, O Bani Salamah) They said, "Al-Jadd bin Qays, although we consider him a miser.'' The Messenger of Allah said,
«وَأَيُّ دَاءٍ أَدْوَأُ مِنَ الْبُخْلِ وَلَكِنْ سَيِّدُكُمْ الْفَتَى الْجَعْدُ الْأَبْيَضُ بِشْرُ بْنُ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ مَعْرُور»
(There is not a disease worse than stinginess! Therefore, your chief is the white young man with curly hair, Bishr bin Al-Bara' bin Ma'rur.) Allah said next,
﴿وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمُحِيطَةٌ بِالْكَـفِرِينَ﴾
(And verily, Hell is surrounding the disbelievers.) and they will never be able to avoid, avert, or escape from it.
﴿إِن تُصِبْكَ حَسَنَةٌ تَسُؤْهُمْ وَإِن تُصِبْكَ مُصِيبَةٌ يَقُولُواْ قَدْ أَخَذْنَا أَمْرَنَا مِن قَبْلُ وَيَتَوَلَّواْ وَّهُمْ فَرِحُونَ - قُل لَّن يُصِيبَنَآ إِلاَّ مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَنَا هُوَ مَوْلَـنَا وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ ﴾
(50. If good befalls you, it grieves them, but if a calamity overtakes you, they say: "We took our precaution beforehand,'' and they turn away rejoicing.) (51. Say: "Nothing shall ever happen to us except what Allah has ordained for us. He is our Mawla (protector).'' And in Allah let the believers put their trust.)

The friendly folks over at Tap & Dye have announced their LEGACY wrist strap. It's a hand-stitched premium Horween leather wrist strap, made to order right here in the United States.
The leather itself is Chromexcel, a famous and highly respected leather from the Horween tannery. It's produced in the United States using a bark retannage from a proprietary recipe and then hot stuffed with a secret blend of natural oils and greases. That may all sound like gibberish, but the result speaks for itself: this is high quality leather that feels fantastic.
I've purchased a number of straps from Tap & Dye and have always been impressed with the craftsmanship, quality, and incredible customer service from their team. I generally prefer a wrist strap to a neck strap, and this looks to be one of the finest ones money can buy.

- Everything that needs to be dyed has to sit in a dye bath or at least an hour. I have found this to be an excellent time for reading.
- During online guest speakers and recorded lectures is when I paste the paper backing to the fabric to make the book cloth
- Thursday is my TV night. 8pm Big Bang Theory and then from there the NBC comedies such as The Office, Parks and Rec and my fav 30 Rock. Ironing, folding, stitching and anything to prepare fabric to be dyed is when this is the best period of the week.
Yes School should be the main focus but it's nice to have my hand doing something while I read how the Smithosian is making their museum for user friendly.
Happy Crafting :)

Anatomy of a proposal - THE QUESTION
Saturday, 5 December
Nai Harn Beach, Phuket
It's hot. Real hot. 34 degrees.
And I'm nervous. Real nervous.
After the golf, the four of us – Gearing, his girlfriend Amanda, Clare and I - head out to the nearby Nai Harn Beach, just down on the South-Western tip of Phuket. It's generally a bit of a rockstar beach, with a few surrounding flash resorts and plenty of Germans wandering around in far too little clothing. The beach has been well looked after, mainly due to a Buddhist monastery camped in behind the beach - thankfully a beautiful piece of Phuket hasn't gone the way of Patong.
Clare's enjoying being able to swim in the sea. Each time she's away in the water, I can't help but sneak a look at the bling I'm about to give her. Jeez I hope they go down OK.
Because it's high season, the beach is quite busy with umbrellas, deck chairs and the shrills of European kids on holidays. I make a mental note that the rocks at the northern end of the beach look to be a relatively quiet spot to head to if need be.
I keep dropping hints to Clare to perhaps go for a walk…she's not biting…
We've been here for 3 hours now. The day is getting on. I've got to seal this deal. I try again.
"So, I'm thinking of going for a walk later. Want to come?"
"Sure, where to?"
"I'm thinking the rocks - maybe check out the crabs, take some photos."
"Sounds lovely!"
Yes! 3pm. Go time.
Clare is looking absolutely stunning. Dressed in a white and pink striped bikini and a new flowery sarong she just bargained at the beach for 150Bt.
"Why are you bringing the bag though? You really don't need that, you should just leave it with Dave and Amanda…the zip will get salt in it."
"Oh, no it's got my camera and stuff in it, I'd prefer to keep it all nice and dry."
Clare is not pleased. I try to bust out an innocent look. Crisis averted, can take the bag. Little does she know there's some other precious cargo in there…
We wander along the gorgeous frontage of one of the nice resorts toward the stairs down to the rocks. I can't help but blurt out a cheeky, nervous laugh, knowing that I'm only a few minutes short of asking Clare to marry me.
Stepping down onto the rocks, there's a small surf rolling in and a number of yachts anchored just off shore, in preparation for a big regatta tomorrow. A couple of Thai guys are fishing off the rocks too. No-one else is around. Perfect.
Right, how am I going to do this?
I had a few words rehearsed before this, but somehow my brain has started to go out the window. Self doubt begins to seep in.
What if she says she's not ready?? What if she says a flat no? Don't be ridiculous…you know she loves you…but she still might...
Clare's looking at the bag, clearly worried. She asks whether it's in the salt water. I try to get all jai yen. Salt really is the least of my concerns at the moment, but I oblige and move the bag to higher, less salty ground.
Right, the bling. How am I going to get it out?
What do I need to say?
Where should I stand?
How should I stand?
I'm rehearsing the phrases I have had rolling around in my head now for the past few months.
Right, I think this should be a sit-down affair. There's a nice level rock. Perfect. This will be perfect.
I sit down.
"Honey, want to come sit down with me?"
"Are you serious? Not there, no way, I'll get a green dirty bum!"
OK then. So the plan may not be so perfect. Looks like I'll need a plan B.
Standing might be the easier option.
Clare seems distracted at the moment by the view of all the yachts. A good opportunity to get the earrings. I go to the bag.
Shit. I can't find the earrings in the bloody bag. Be cool, look cool. Jai yen. You don't want her seeing you freak out. They must be in here somewhere…
I look over my shoulder, Clare's still distracted.
Under the towel? Nope. That's my camera.
Clare's still distracted.
Shit. They must be in here somewhere. Yes! OK, found them. Phew.
I slip them into my pocket.
If she asks what it is, I'll say my camera to buy me some time.
Clare looks so beautiful.
By now I'm shaking. Really shaking. I can't help it.
Get a grip!
I can't.
I wonder if she's caught on. I need to do this quickly before I resemble some sort of epileptic jellyfish and she suspects something. Or has she already got a good idea of what's coming?
I wasn't expecting this to be happening so fast. I'm really starting to shake now. This is weird.
I jump over to the rock near her.
Don't slip over and break your ankle. That would suck.
My mind is going a million miles an hour now. I lose my thoughts. I stand in front of her and put my arms around her. Clare smiles. I try to smile back, but I'm absolutely shitting myself.
Clare looks beautiful in the late afternoon light. We kiss.
This might be my last kiss with her as her boyfriend...now that's is a weird thought for a time like this...
Time for the question. My mind goes into auto-pilot. The script's been well and truly pulped by my brain. Not sure what to say. I just start talking.
"I love you more than anything in the world and would be honoured if you would marry me."
A bead comes out. Couldn't help that one.
My proposal was in no way one of my most eloquent moments, but hey, I guess the key message was right?
Wrong. It looks like Clare's confused.
She laughs awkwardly.
She's going to say no!
She laughs again slightly, then her face changes as she realises I'm actually being serious.
She squeaks out a yes, and then a big smile!!!!
That's a "yes"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shit. The earrings. I forgot to present the bloody earrings!
I pull them from my pocket. Clare opens them up. I explain why I didn't get her a formal ring, knowing that she wanted to design her own, possibly using components from her grandmother's ring.
Now it's official.
Then I tell her the whole story of how I'd actually travelled to Australia to have a chat with her parents and that I'm really sorry for having to lie to her for the past few months.
It turns out through all my freaking out, she had no idea this was coming.
'Operation Singapore' - a success!
Then we start to get really excited, as the reality of our moment sinks in. We're going to get married!!!!
Clare can't stop saying "we're engaged". I can't help but feel an immense sense of relief and happiness.
We enjoy the next 15 minutes or so talking through the whole story together, taking photos, loving being with each other at this very special moment, just her and I. We then call our parents to put them out of their misery, as they've held the secret for so long, take a few more photos then head back to tell Dave and Amanda...

We were invited to Jiangsu province in February to see the launch of a new coating line at one of our key suppliers of PET G core and overlay. Unfortunately we came unprepared for the very chilly conditions and Keith Matthews the M.D. of Nuco International had to borrow a rather fetching coat. In the picture Keith proudly shows of his recently acquired garment while standing next to Robbie Liu who runs our Shanghai office and oversees all our Quality Control procedures.
