I've been using the learning content on their website for a while now and they seem pretty well organised. I guess one important question is how much it costs and have people found they improved alot? Any comments on other courses are welcome too, I am looking for a focus on useful conversational korean rather than alot of grammar pr writing.

Back to top Tiger BeerJoined: 07 Feb 2003 Posted: Tue May 27, 2003 8:56 pm Post subject: I studied at SOGANG for 10 weeks.. i also really looked at Yonsei, Ehwa, and a couple others.. I chose Sogang because its mostly conversationally oriented.. whereas i heard Yonsei and others are very grammar oriented.. i also heard that alot of yonsei students know all kinds of detailed korean stuff but sometimes have no idea how to actually speak korean.. (kind of like some of the koreans who teach english here).. - having said that though.. if you can use your knowledge from Yonsei, etc.. maybe u have a girlfriend or something.. its probably the best education-wise.. Sogang is all conversation.. but.. this was my experience.. i was there 4 hours a day for 10 weeks and i was so overwhelmed.. i knew how to read/write korean characters.. and now maybe a few dozen phrases before going in.. so kind of a basis.. but i was very overwhelmed with how much information we were getting in a very short time.. everyday there were entire new conversations and dialogs and whole new sets of vocabularly to learn.. if you can't keep up on it on a daily basis.. you will fall far far behind extremely quickly!! so make sure you have alot of free time to absorb and study what you learn!! I did fairly well the first few weeks.. then the middle few weeks i couldn't keep on top of it anymore.. and the last few weeks were so overwhelming that ultimately i dropped out maybe the 9th week because i really didn't want to face the exam at the end.. All in all though.. its a great course.. i like the books.. and it is extremely useful korean that you would use on a day-to-day basis.. if you know another foreign language (are language-literate) and have some strong korean basics.. you might do well the entire course.. but be warned.. its ALOT of work!! I mean i studied every night for hours and hours and hours.. but unfortunately i spent most of my time just memorizing vocabarly words rather then the whole dialogs/discussions that we'd be using the next day.. kind of overwhelming.. on the plus side.. its 9am-1pm.. or you can pay less and study 10am-1pm.. its around 1 million won (maybe more now)? and its a great social environment.. i was the only native-english speaker in my class.. half were from japan (half of those were korean-japanese), and the others were from china, taiwan, mongolia, turkey, and portugal.. nice mix of people!! Also, most things that no one knows are described in english.. which is a great advantage to us.. particularly compared to the mongolian and turkish guys in my class which didn't know any english - actually they were basically learning korean and english at the same time.. The other thing.. Japanese students will walk circles around everyone else.. next being the chinese and mongolian students.. but japanese will pick up phrase and every phrase with incredible ease (although they can't pronunce all the syllables - they don't have the consonant ending sound on syllables).. but they will appear to be speaking fluent korean almost on the first day which gets annoying around week 3 or 4.. its kind of like english-speakers studying spanish.. half of the words are so familiar, etc. Back to top the_beaverJoined: 15 Jan 2003 Posted: Tue May 27, 2003 9:11 pm Post subject: Don't bother to PM me, I'll let it out here. Yonsei is great if you have an insomnia problem. . . I studied in Yonsei's A program to level 5 (didn't quite make it to the end of that level) and I've never worked so hard to stay awake. Overall the teachers were good, but the textbook and study style -- ugh! If you're the kind of person who tends towards a logical/analytical approach to a language then you'll fit into Yonsei's grammar/vocabulary style. Few people actually learn effectively this way, so that's where Yonsei's B program (a mere shadow, I'm given to understand, of Sogang's program) and Sogang come in. I'm presently studying in Sogang at level 5 and it's an adventure in enjoyable, task-based, communicative learning. Getting up and going to school everyday is fun (of course, that depends on your classmates and teachers, but, as any off-center language student will try to do, I've molded the class to suit me). In Yonsei my development after level 1 was hard to detect, but at Sogang I can feel improvement daily. While it really depends on your study preferences as to which school you will think is better, I personally recommend Sogang over Yonsei -- no contest at all. I don't know about Yonsei's tuition, but Sogang is running around 1,290,000 for the four-hour a day semester, and 1,1350,000 for the three-hour a day semester. Go for the four-hour because it's not that much more and it's a nice, comfortable way to start your day and to incorporate writing into your learning.

Nusa Lembongan
Nusa Lembongan is a small island off the southeast coast of the main island of Bali and is approximately 8 square kilometres in size.
Fast becoming one of Bali's most popular attractions this island paradise is a world away from the pollution, hassles and hectic pace of Bali. There are no hawkers, no traffic, magnificent scenery and is the perfect place to put your feet up and relax. Popular with families weary of travel warnings this island is a safe spot to enjoy that perfect Bali Holiday. Main activities include surfing, diving and snorkeling. Some tourists may find the island a little slow after the pace of southern Bali.
The water is some of the clearest you can find and aqua blue in color; good for diving and snorkeling with abundant marine life and live coral. Surfing is crowded but nice waves. White sand beaches. Learn about the seaweed farming industry on the island.
There are two main beach areas which have traditionally attracted visitors. Jungut Batu in the north is the bigger of the two with a myriad of hotels, restaurants and cheap eateries and traditionally used to attract the backpackers, families and surfers. Now with the development of the higher Bukit area the latter is fast becoming the main attraction and provides some of the best accommodation on the island. The views from the Bukit are second to none on Nusa Lembongan and probably Bali. Sunsets are best viewed along the beachfront.
Mushroom Bay to the south-west of Jungut Batu is a quaint, attractive and sheltered bay. It is a nice spot after 3pm when the day trippers have gone home and it has a great white sandy beach along with some cozy little restaurants that line the beach. Further south the lesser known beaches either side of the Devil's Tear outcrop are increasingly drawing more visitors [2].
Get in
The only realistic way (although you can charter a helicopter) to reach Nusa Lembongan from Bali is by boat. There are several options according to budget and speed. Most of the scheduled services leave from Sanur Beach at the end of Jalan Hangtuah and involve getting your feet wet. The exact departure and arrival point on this beach depends on the tide. Other services run from Benoa Harbour and there is apparently a local public boat service to and from Padang Bai in East Bali but details of this are hard to find.
From Sanur Beach:
From Benoa Harbour:
If you have limited time a good option is to take a one day cruise: on a twin-hull boat under sail you'll reach the island within 1.5 hours (drinks and snacks are available on board). On the island you can take part in a mangrove forest trip, snorkeling, banana boat ride, glass bottom boat ride, sea-kayaking. A lunch and swimming-pool are also available. The approximate price is $60 USD.
Get around
This is a nice place to walk. A rocky coastal path links nearly all the guest houses and hotels. Most trips will take you less than two hours. The south-western area of the island has some spectacular coast paths which provide easy walking. Bicycles can be rented at many places and the mainly flat roads are quite well surfaced. Motorbikes are also available but may be unnecessary given the short distances involved - the island is only 4 km end to end. You can cross on foot or by bike to the small neighbouring island of Nusa Ceningan via a scenic suspension bridge.
Visitors have commented in the past that a good accurate map of Nusa Lembongan is hard to find. In July 2009 a new free map was made available. Details of how to obtain a complimentary copy are in a blog post here [11] or from the map owner here[12].

As much as Texas Tech wants to get out and run this season, sometimes you have to slow it down to get back on track.
Dejan Kravic scored eight of his career-high 20 points in the first three minutes of the second half Wednesday night, helping turn to a six-point halftime lead against Nebraska-Omaha into a 91-63 rout inside United Spirit Arena.
All of Kravic's early second-half scores came inside the paint, as Tech made a brief, yet effective, departure from its run-and-gun style to develop an inside presence.
Tech coach Chris Walker challenged Kravic near the end of the first half to take advantage of the mismatches he had against Omaha's smaller interior players.
"The No. 1 thing I said (to Kravic) was, 'Pinch me. I guess Shaq is here; I guess Shaq is playing inside,' " Walker said. "There wasn't a shot blocker in there. My thing was, 'Why aren't you going in there? They're not going to foul you. They're not going to block you're shot.'"
Kravic got the message, scoring on a couple of tough layups inside and a pair of short jump shots in the early stages of the second half. Tech (2-0) opened the period on a 21-8 run and never looked back.
"It was just a matter of finishing and being aggressive," said Kravic, who was a perfect 8 for 8 from the field in the second half.
After Omaha (1-2) trimmed a 12-point lead down to six in the final minutes of the first half, it was all downhill for the Red Raiders, who outscored the visitors 48-26 during the final 20 minutes. It was another balanced effort for Tech, which had three players score at least 15 points.
Jaye Crockett netted a career-high with 22 points off the bench, and he added 10 rebounds for his first double-double of the season and the fifth of his career.
Crockett checked in three minutes into the game and scored nine quick points, playing with the high energy a clean bill of health has granted him.
"I told Jaye, 'You can be the best spark we have coming off the bench,'" Walker said. "Jaye has embraced that role, never complains, and I'll always have him out there in crucial situations because he presents matchup problems."
Crockett and Kravic combined to shoot 18 of 23 from the field (78 percent). It was the first time two Tech players scored 20 points in the same game since March 6, 2010.
After sluggish second-half performances in its exhibition game and season opener, Tech put together perhaps its best stretch of the young season during Wednesday's second half. The Red Raiders shot 55 percent from the floor during the period and forced 10 Omaha turnovers.
"I'm glad that we came out and put the hammer on 'em," Crockett said.
Tech coach Chris Walker cited rebounding and reducing turnovers as two areas he wanted to see his team improve in its second game of the season, and the Red Raiders excelled in both. Tech secured a 48-27 edge on the boards - 21-6 on the offensive glass - and committed only eight turnovers.
Point guard Josh Gray put together a solid all-around performance with 15 points, seven rebounds, four assists and two steals. He turned the ball over only once after coughing it five times in his college debut last week.
Walker believes Gray will only improve as he continues to understand what his role as point guard means to the team.
"Today's basketball game, with AAU and high school, it's always, 'Me, me, me,' when you're a good player," Walker said. "It's all about you and you scoring. Now it's a situation where you're running a team. He's still learning every day. We're just chipping away. He's watching a lot of film, dissecting his game and becoming a student of the game, and he's learning from that."
Tech's win was the 2,000th non-conference victory for the Big 12 Conference since the league was formed in 1996.

Energy heavyweight Chevron (NYSE:CVX) disclosed an in-line 32% slump in fourth-quarter profits and weaker-than-expected revenue on Friday amid tumbling upstream earnings at home and abroad.
Continue Reading Below
Shares of the blue-chip energy company fell about 1% in premarket action on the mixed report.
The No. 2 U.S. energy company said it earned $4.9 billion, or $2.57 a share, last quarter, compared with a profit of $7.2 billion, or $3.70 a share, a year earlier. Analysts had called for EPS of $2.57.
Revenue fell 4% to $54 billion, widely missing the Street's view of $64.93 billion.
"Global crude oil prices and refining margins were generally lower in 2013 than 2012," Chevron CEO John Watson said in a statement. "These conditions, as well as lower gains on asset sales and higher expenses, resulted in lower earnings."
Chevron's upstream earnings dropped to $4.85 billion last quarter from $6.86 billion the year before. The drop-off was caused by lower oil production and higher expenses in the U.S. and the absence of a $1.4 billion asset gain in international operations.
Downstream earnings slumped to $390 million from $925 million. Domestic downstream profits were lower due to higher operating expenses, while international operations were hurt by lower margins, fewer asset sale gains and tax implications.
Chevron said it repurchased about $1.25 billion of its common stock during the fourth quarter, bringing full-year buybacks to $5 billion.
Shares of San Roman, Cailf.-based Chevron retreated 1.53% to $114.76 ahead of Friday's opening bell. Chevron's shares had already dropped more than 6% this year as of Thursday's close.

Nationals get 3 sac flies, beat Pirates 5-4
Nationals get 3 sac flies, beat Pirates 5-4Washington Nationals' Ryan Zimmerman (11) scores ahead of the tag by Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Russell Martin (55) on a sacrifice fly to right field by Washington Nationals' Tyler Moore in the ninth inning of a baseball game at Pittsburgh Saturday, May 4, 2013. The Nationals won 5-4. (AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar)
PITTSBURGH (AP) -- It took a rare team meeting for the Washington Nationals to get what lately has been a rare victory when Stephen Strasburg starts.
Strasburg struck out eight in seven innings and the Nationals won one of his outings for the first time since opening day by beating the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-4 Saturday.
''I was absolutely happy about getting through the seventh inning,'' Strasburg said. ''The biggest thing is to give your team a chance to win the ballgame. Not every game are you going to be lights out and hitting every spot.''
Strasburg remained winless since his first start, though. He allowed four runs and five hits - all of Pittsburgh's offense coming on two-run homers by Starling Marte and Clint Barmes.
Strasburg is 1-4 with a 3.45 ERA in seven starts this season.
''I thought (Strasburg) threw really well,'' Nationals manager Davey Johnson said. ''He made one good pitch after another. He only made two bad pitches all day, a couple over the heart of the plate that they hit out of the park. But he held us in the game and did a good job.''
Tyler Moore hit a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the top of the ninth inning off Tony Watson (1-1) to score Ryan Zimmerman, who was on third after an unlikely double steal.
Zimmerman and Adam LaRoche had combined for 36 steals in 2,219 games and none this season when they took off and got good enough jumps that Pirates catcher Russell Martin didn't even bother throwing.
''We know who has what times (to the plate), what guys are slow and what guys are fast and what guys give a guy like me an actual chance to steal a base,'' said Zimmerman, whose steal of third was the first of his career.
''When you're looking at a pitcher that takes 1.8-2.0 seconds to get the ball to the plate, I should be able to steal off him.''
Johnson said the Nationals were being more aggressive on the bases in an attempt to jump-start a lethargic offense that had scored three or fewer runs 14 times in its most recent 20 games.
Before the game, Johnson called a team meeting with the same goal in mind.
His primary message: Relax. For the first time since the franchise moved from Montreal eight years ago, the Nationals entered the season with extremely high expectations. The NL East champions began the game with 239 strikeouts by their batters, second-most in the NL, and whiffed 14 times during Friday's series-opening loss.
In an effort to loosen the team up, the 70-year-old Johnson even took batting practice - getting about 40 hacks - for what he said was the first time in 25 years.
The results were mixed most of the afternoon: The Nationals scored more than three runs for the first time in seven games, but had only six hits.
Pirates starter Jeff Locke allowed three of those during his five-plus innings, allowing four runs, three earned, with three walks and three strikeouts.
''Well, we got a few more guys on base,'' Johnson said. ''We didn't get many in - but it's a start.''
Ian Desmond's sacrifice fly in the third snapped a 15-plus scoreless inning streak by Locke. Adam LaRoche drove in Zimmerman with a fly to right an inning later after Zimmerman led off the inning with a triple.
''Everything felt pretty good today,'' Locke said. ''I just need to be a little bit more efficient early in the count.''
A day after striking out four times upon being activated from the disabled list, Zimmerman scored three runs. Wilson Ramos' RBI single in the sixth tied the game at 4 after Pittsburgh built a two-run lead.
Tyler Clippard (2-1) pitched a scoreless eighth and Rafael Soriano got his 10th save with an unconventional 1-2-3 ninth. Martin was thrown out at second trying to extend a leadoff single, then Soriano got Pedro Alvarez to pop out and Jordy Mercer to strike out to end the game.
Marte's homer was his fourth of the season. Barmes, who scored two runs and doubled his RBI total on his first home run of the season, improved his season average from .173 to .192.
''It's definitely always nice to help out on the offensive side of things,'' Barmes said. ''Hit a ball hard and finally got something out of it.''
NOTES: Washington OF Denard Span was not in the lineup a day after fouling a ball off his right foot. The Nationals are without OF Jayson Werth (right hamstring) for the series. ... Pittsburgh had a four-game home winning streak snapped. ... All of the Pirates' seven runs in the series have come by way of home run. ... Pittsburgh CF Andrew McCutchen extended his hitting streak against the Nationals to 17 games. ... A pair of left-handers start in the series finale Sunday. The last time Pittsburgh's Wandy Rodriguez (2-1, 3.91) faced Washington's Gio Gonzalez (2-2, 3.54), it was a 1-0 pitcher's duel won by Gonzalez on April 17, 2012.

Bobby Roode defeated Kurt Angle for the third time in less than six weeks after an intriguing eight-man match-up, on a special Thanksgiving edition of TNA.
The special one-off bout was arranged a week earlier when company president Dixie Carter re-lit the flame at the heart of Roode and Angle's recent feud, by challenging them to headline the holiday show with respective four-man teams.
In a tag-team elimination match, Angle selected James Storm, Gunner and Magnus to support his cause, while Roode opted for his partners in the Extraordinary Gentlemen's Organisation: Bad Influence duo Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian, along with reigning X-Division Champion Chris Sabin.
The match also presented another intriguing twist, with Storm and Roode clashing just a week after their ferocious Florida Death Match. On that occasion, Storm's tag-team partner Gunner threw in the towel, just before Roode was able to dump the Cowboy onto a bed of barbed wire.
But Storm was denied his revenge as he was the first to be eliminated from the contest. Despite rebuffing the attack of Kazarian, he was caught from behind by Sabin, who was able to pin the one-time World Champion for the required count of three.
Storm's frustrations were not helped by the actions of Gunner, for whom he already resented for his intervention in his previous match: although just mere metre's away. The Modern Day Viking failed to come to his team-mate's rescue and allowed Sabin to remove him from the contest.
Gunner himself went in controversial circumstances moments later. Mid-way through an attack on Kazarian he was taken out by Daniels, allowing the former to recover and grab the pin.
Magnus then left Angle to fend for himself as he picked up a match-ending injury when attempting to dive upon Daniels outside the ring. The Brit jumped from the canvas and connected with his opponent, only to land awkwardly on his left knee, flaring up a reoccurring problem.
Angle fought bravely against the opposing quartet. In fact, he looked set to remove both Daniels and Kazarian simultaneously when he locked them together in a double angle-lock submission hold. But as Roode approached with a steel chair, ready to come to the aid of his teammates, Angle was forced to release the duo so as to duck away from the attack.
The Olympic Gold Medallist proceeded to knock the IT Factor to the ground and steal his weapon. Despite the referee's warnings, Angle grabbed the opportunity to attack Roode, as well as Kazarian and Daniels, causing both he and his team to be disqualified.
Several questions come out of the night's action, most importantly as to whether Magnus will be fit enough to compete in his World Heavyweight Championship title tournament semi-final, which is due to take place next week against Angle.
The bout that was revealed by Carter at the start of the evening to be a 'last man standing match', as chosen by the Wheel of Dixie. It will also be interesting to see how Roode responds to his chair bashing, when he faces Jeff Hardy in a 'tables match'.
Elsewhere, Bully Ray interrupted Ken Anderson's mock 'funeral' for the Aces & Eights and warned both him and the people in attendance, that included Magnus, Samoa Joe, Kurt Angle and Eric Young, that they better be on their guard ahead of his return.
Ethan Carter III defeated another 'hand-picked' opponent, Curry Man, who was flown in from Japan to face the match.
Lei'd Tapa collected a routine victory over Velvet Sky, as she stepped out of Gail Kim's shadow to face her own match for the first time.
Finally the Bro Mans defeated Norv Fernum and Dewey Barnes in the short-lived 'Turkey Bowl' match-up, as arranged by Eric Young and ODB.

Asymmetric mustard Drape Drape top
Added Apr 26, 2013
London, United K...
This is from the second Drape Drape book, a Japanese book series with patterns provided, albeit in tiny Japanese sizes! I really love the asymmetric draping down the right side – this top is only one piece of fabric so it's easy and quick to sew, and is a great alternative to your average teeshirt!
My only warning – RAISE THE NECKLINE! I raised the original 10cm/4" to what you see here!

Part Two: Flipping the Classroom – The Role of Video
In Part One, Flipping the Classroom – Is it Really All About Technology?, I promised to return in Part Two to discuss the actual technologies that can be used to flip the classroom. This technology is, in a word: video. The capture of lectures via video, the dynamic management of video assets, and the ability to share, store, and retrieve lectures are all critical components of any strategy to create a flipped learning environment.
As you'll recall, Part One covered one of the best and most innovative high school teachers I know, Steve Hammack, a science teacher at Los Gatos High School. He fully flipped his classroom this year, and his students continue to perform well above-average both on standardized tests and in semester grades.
While Steve credits his stellar AP Biology test scores to "The Testing Effect" an article penned in the journal Science (Karpick and Roediger, 2008), the flipped classroom model is gaining enormous momentum and is probably one of the hottest topics amongst education cognoscenti today. A recent Economist article, "Flipping the Classroom," highlights this new phenomenon. Many schools are flipping the classroom to provide students with an opportunity to review class materials and lectures at their own pace, as many times as they'd like, before class takes place the next school day. This model then allows for class time to be used in active dialogue, for lab or project work, and in helping students to develop stronger critical thinking skills.
Still convinced that video would help augment Steve's audio postings, I started digging deeper into the potential impact of video plus audio in delivering information to people. One reader directed us to The Center for Non-Verbal Studies, whose goal is to "promote the scientific study of nonverbal communication, which includes body movement, gesture, facial expression, adornment and fashion, architecture, mass media, and consumer-product design."
One study showed that "To study language by listening only to utterances, say [University of Chicago professor of psychology and linguistics, David McNeill] and those who subscribe to his theories, is to miss as much as 75 percent of the meaning" (Mahany 1997:E-3).
I'm convinced that in education, as in business, to see a person's face, to witness their hand gestures, to experience the full range of human emotion is to experience full human communication, to capture the nuances of the spoken word, and to feel the complete impact of the message. In the flipped classroom, video is critical in that it delivers what pure audio cannot: the entire spectrum of communication between human beings, a way for students to connect in a more meaningful way with their teachers and with the content.
But to embrace the flipped classroom, educational institutions must develop and implement a fully thought-out strategy to capture, transform, share, store, and manage video. Otherwise, with every teacher flipping classrooms, video assets will quickly, and deleteriously, spin out of control, like many pancakes flipped half-cooked into the air, without any pans waiting to receive them. This will be the next big nightmare that will keep entire IT staffs up at night. For every teacher or faculty member who wants to flip the classroom, they need a simple approach to capturing video, sharing it with their classes, and managing that content for the long-run.
Many lecture capture solutions today focus on only one part of the equation: the capture of lectures on video. But there is a whole work flow associated with flipping the classroom: the ability to capture video on any device (iPhone, iPad, video camera, web conferencing session, TelePresence) and then to edit, publish, archive, retrieve, view, distribute, and display those videos. In the best lecture capture solution, students and teachers are able to view videos in a social media environment and carry on a dialogue about the lecture, start a chat session, or launch a virtual web conference. Luckily, Cisco has a solution to address these requirements with Cisco Lecture Vision.
Flipping the classroom would have been impossible years ago, and challenging as few as three years ago. Today, we're able not only to imagine, but to realize, what is possible in making learning more accessible for all students. The flipped classroom does just this; it increases access to the best learning experiences possible, providing students with an opportunity to view a lecture multiple times, to rewind, fast forward, pause, and absorb the knowledge. But the technology to create this type of environment needs to work effectively: it needs to be simple, scalable, reliable, and flexible. As we reach a technology tipping point in education, the time is right to pursue these types of strategies and implement new approaches in the most meaningful way possible.

Traders are keeping a keen eye on shares of BRONZE INFRA-TECH LTD. (BITL.BO). The Average Directional Index or ADX may prove to be an important tool for trading and investing. The ADX is a technical indicator developed by J. Welles Wilder used to determine the strength of a trend. The ADX is often used along with the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI) to identify the direction of the trend. Presently, the 14-day ADX is resting at 22.07. Generally speaking, an ADX value from 0-25 would indicate an absent or weak trend. A value of 25-50 would indicate a strong trend. A value of 50-75 would signal a very strong trend, and a value of 75-100 would indicate an extremely strong trend.
Some investors may find the Williams Percent Range or Williams %R as a helpful technical indicator. Presently, BRONZE INFRA-TECH LTD. (BITL.BO)'s Williams Percent Range or 14 day Williams %R is resting at -62.07. Values can range from 0 to -100. A reading between -80 to -100 may be typically viewed as strong oversold territory. A value between 0 to -20 would represent a strong overbought condition. As a momentum indicator, the Williams R% may be used with other technicals to help define a specific trend.
When performing stock analysis, investors and traders may opt to view technical levels. BRONZE INFRA-TECH LTD. (BITL.BO) presently has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of 63.89. Investors and traders may use this indicator to help spot price reversals, price extremes, and the strength of a trend. Many investors will use the CCI in conjunction with other indicators when evaluating a trade. The CCI may be used to spot if a stock is entering overbought (+100) and oversold (-100) territory.
Checking in on moving averages, the 200-day is at 1.02, the 50-day is 0.68, and the 7-day is sitting at 0.68. Moving averages may be used by investors and traders to shed some light on trading patterns for a specific stock. Moving averages can be used to help smooth information in order to provide a clearer picture of what is going on with the stock. Technical stock analysts may use a combination of different time periods in order to figure out the history of the equity and where it may be headed in the future. MA's can be calculated for any time period, but two very popular time frames are the 50-day and 200-day moving averages.
Shifting gears to the Relative Strength Index, the 14-day RSI is currently sitting at 48.76, the 7-day is 47.92, and the 3-day is currently at 44.54 for BRONZE INFRA-TECH LTD. (BITL.BO). The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a highly popular momentum indicator used for technical analysis. The RSI can help display whether the bulls or the bears are currently strongest in the market. The RSI may be used to help spot points of reversals more accurately. The RSI was developed by J. Welles Wilder. As a general rule, an RSI reading over 70 would signal overbought conditions. A reading under 30 would indicate oversold conditions. As always, the values may need to be adjusted based on the specific stock and market. RSI can also be a valuable tool for trying to spot larger market turns.
Investors may be looking for the next positive catalyst to create a solid breakout. Some may be wondering when the party will end, and it remains to be seen if excess and profit-taking rotation may create any pullbacks in the upcoming quarter. Investors may have to make a decision whether to ease-up or stay aggressive. Investors may also be closely watching winners and losers, especially in the technology sector. Understanding and researching the space may be highly important when managing the investment portfolio. The key for investors will be to try and locate the winners in the space and find the companies that are either creating new technology or adapting to it rapidly.

Note: Moving conversation to a more appropriate thread.
I said "great" since I believe any licensing is basically good news, at least until I actually see if any "butchering" has been done.
And don't worry, even if maria-sama is licensed the forums will still be open. There are lots of other subforums that are for licensed anime (Negima for example). Only posting about downloads will be restricted.

So far, broadcasters and distribution companies in other countries were lucky to acquire the titles, with mixed results, of course. Some cut them up in fear of offending the "moral values police" (i.e. the Roman Catholic Church), and others put in some questionable dubbing.
Prior to Animax Southeast Asia's version, we were the first country to have what was then official foreign-language (Tagalog) broadcast of Maria-sama, but never completed.
I've interviewed one of the voice actresses who played Yumi (and is now known as Nanami in the Tagalog version of Utena), and said that she was disappointed with the cancellation despite that they've finished dubbing the first season, and she guessed that the reason for the cancellation was partly due to pressure from the Catholic Church, pro-censorship and parents' groups, on the broadcast management.
Going back to topic, despite Geneon's pullout, I was hoping that a very competent company with a proven track record in handling anime faithfully like antique Ming vases should acquire Maria-sama... I'm betting on either Central Park or Rightstuf.

You can reach for my hand
Ok, so this may be off topic, but I just a quick one:
If you go to licensed thread, you'd see only topics of anime, not "threads" like this whole thread is dedicated to MariMite topics, so we can make as much topics as we want.. But in licensed thread here, you don't see any 'threads' but only 'topics' of animes.
Going Back:
If you noticed, like Sailor Moon who later on focused on Yuri, the yuri pair there (forgot who since I hadn't watched it) the supposedly 'cousins' were really not cousins. They were originally childhood friends who found love to each other. Of course, it was cut, cause in most Christian countries, these things are not widely accepted, hence some episode aren't even featured.
Inuyasha is also one example.. They 'dumbed' down the anime because the American licensors wanted to fit it for mass audience.. So rewrite, re-script and changed a lot of things so it will be 'easier to digest'.
I'm thankful Utena wasn't touched like that.. *sweatdrop* If that anime was 'butchered' I wouldn't have liked it.
Just think, if MariMite (with no plot but just character-driven development) were to have cuts, no subtle feeling into it, and interactions were dumber down.. I wonder if it would still be appealing?
I love MariMite, simply because the relationships are just wonderful.. But if it were changed for simpler.. I cannot describe my depression. It's like.. Maybe almost nothing happens!
Well, it is just a rumor after all, a terrible rumor, but if the licensor has a past reputation of 'butchering' animes, there's like 80% chance of MariMite being rewritten.. D:

For those still sceptical, just go to the main "older series" section and start browsing a few popular names : you'll find a "this show is licensed" thread stuck up in many child-boards and theirs is still here and active

You can reach for my hand
Hmm, actually I haven't receive a PM from you for a long time..
I see.. I just went to the Licensed thread, I didn't even see the animes available here that are long licensed..
Anyway, since it's already there, it's still nice to keep it alive, and I've connected the forums leading here and into another forum anyway..
Anyway, going back to topic.. If we look at Animax, the largest anime show in the whole of Asia, MariMite there have so many cuts! D:
Example was Noriko looking at Shimako.. OMG, nothing even happens there.. She's just staring at Shimako and it was cut >_<
So what more for others? Sei and Shiori story has many cuts, also Yumi kissing Sei, etc. any thoughts that will lead to 'girl love' or something like that. Now, here's the thing, what if someone never watched the subbed of MariMite? Then they would've missed a lot of things..
Some forums/boards for a certain anime mail and try to make the licensor change their mind.. Though a few are only successful, most were ignored because money is the case with them for their "dumb" down target market..
Worse nightmare would be re-scripting the whole thing..

Seriously, best news ever. It makes it all the more special that all three seasons have been licensed, and they'll be released in boxset form!
All we do now is wait for the Novel license.

Wow. It seems like I've been praying for this forever.
Preordered. If they're accepting preorders for seasons 2 and 3, I'm guessing they expect to release seasons 2 and 3 within a year? That's fantastic.
I gotta go write them an email thanking them, and then beg them to license the novels.

Just woke up this morning, read off every site I liked and checked mail, and then checked out the comm down at LJ... and, whoa, all three seasons got licensed! Good thing I managed to download all of them and preparing to archive to DVD.
It's been a very, very long time to wait for this to happen. I nearly thought of buying some bubbly and start celebrating. XD
Hope that Rightstuf does it right all the way. Will order soon. WOOT!

I would say that Spanish and Italian are the more common languages that come to mind that refer to her as Maria as opposed to English Mary and French Marie, as well.
gah. This could either be good or bad news, since I haven't seen the second or third seasons yet.

Nozomi/RS is quite good in dealing with niche titles. There is pretty much zero chance that they'd edit the video. It's also been announced that they'll be including the special shorts, as well. About the only thing missing will be a dub.

This license/rescue is certainly good news for all those R1 fans who want Marimite on DVD. While it appears that it'll be a sub-only release, I don't think that that's necessarily bad since it's hard to think of an English-language cast that can capture the same kind of chemistry that the original one managed. In any case, this along with the pick up of Emma and the earlier rescue of SuperGALS! definitely puts the RightStuf in the "Really Good Guys" column. I encourage any fellow R1 Marimite fans to give them our financial support (it's only about $100 for all three sets).
As for the rest, if it were "Maria is Watching Us/You", it'd feel like a show about a stalker by the name Maria! I think that "Maria Watches Over Us" feels much more comforting, and parses better with the original title.

People smoke for a number of reasons. Most smokers do it because they find it relieves stress and helps them relax. Smoking can also be a source of support when things go wrong and can give a feeling of pleasure. These are all reasons why many people continue smoking once they've been diagnosed with cancer.
Living with cancer and its treatment can be very difficult, and you may feel you need all the support you can get, including smoking. Nobody can force you to give up – the best reason to stop smoking is because you want to and because you feel ready to.
Sometimes your doctor may advise you on the benefits of stopping smoking in your specific situation or for your type of cancer. Having an understanding of how smoking affects your health may also motivate you to stop. Smoking increases the risk of several types of cancer, including cancers of the lung, mouth, gullet, stomach, pancreas, kidney, bladder and cervix, and some types of leukaemia. It also increases your risk of developing many other health problems, including heart and lung diseases, strokes, circulatory problems, dementia, impotence and infertility.
There's also some research that shows that smoking can make some types of cancer grow more quickly. This may be because smoking weakens the body's immunity and some of the chemicals in cigarette smoke may help the tumour to grow.
Non-smokers have fewer side effects from cancer treatment than smokers.
If you're having treatment for cancer, stopping smoking will help you with this too. It can help the body's ability to respond to treatment and heal. In general, non-smokers have fewer side effects from cancer treatment, and the side effects they do have tend to be less severe. Stopping smoking may also lower the risk of cancer coming back after treatment.

LILBURN, Ga. – The Georgia College women's basketball team has been nationally ranked No. 24 in the most recent USA TODAY Sports Division II Top-25 Coaches' Poll. The Bobcats received 84 votes and remained in the top-25 for a second consecutive week.
Of the four teams in the poll from the southeast, Georgia College and the University of North Georgia are the Peach Belt Conference's (PBC) only representatives. North Georgia replaced another PBC team, Clayton State University, at No. 19.
Ironically, both PBC top-25 teams are in action tonight at 5:30 p.m. in Dahlonega, Ga. UNG was ranked the highest of four newcomers to the poll that included Wayne State University (No. 20), Fort Hays State University (No. 23), and Lewis University (No. 25).
The USA TODAY Sports board of coaches is made up of 33 head coaches at Division II institutions and they are all members of the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA).
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

Francesco Pierfederici did a "python success story" industry talk on using a mix of Python and Fortran-77 (via the "ctypes" module) to eat terabytes of telescope image data in real-ish time - the requirements include picking out all new asteroids from the thousands of known moving objects during the 60 second window before the next 3giga-pixel image arrives. Approximating thousands of N-Body problems in limited time is a challenge, and that's Francesco's job.
Ned Batchelder gave his talk "Go Easier on Yourself: You don't test enough and the reason you don't test enough is because you don't write easily testable code." With good examples. No, great examples. Ned is an invited speaker this year because he is concise. His talk from last year covered the same topic I have talked on before and I kept thinking "He didn't mention X" followed by "I should have omitted that too."
My talk on "Python's Dusty Corners" earned it's more accurate original twitter title "Strange Python Shit." I scrapped my originally planned "overview of everything" and 1000-slide opus that covered comparisons, descriptors, namespace lookups, and context managers. I had to because that morning I tried to put all my well researched and thoroughly unit-tested examples into power point and it came out at .. I stopped kidding myself at 40 slides and gave up. Instead I threw up the bullet point slides on what I had and just tried to talk extemporaneously; The result was about 10 minutes of speaking and 30 minutes of Q & A. This suits me just fine - as I said about Vilnius (host of EuroPython 2008) "I love this town, it is unkempt but not ruinously so."
Most questions boiled down to asking for what purpose this "strange python shit" existed and why the stuff didn't seem more useful in the generic:
Guy: what good is [protocol X] other than that it makes it easy to implement [core python feature Y]?
The answer was usually "none" which is a compelling story by itself.
Based on feedback my final talk will include more graphics (arrow pointing at the dot in "foo.bar") and include a description of why magic can happen (and why it rarely does!) at the dot. My original code examples that implement the various features like instance lookup in pure python will end up on a blog or wiki once I get them formatted. They were way too long to fit on a slide but about right for a web tutorial.

Margaret Boettcher knows a fast stress reliever: turn upside down. "Handstands and cartwheels make people happy," said Boettcher, who has taught fellow WHOI graduate students and postdoctoral researchers her relaxation methods—even on geology field trips to volcanoes.
Her contributions (cartwheeling and otherwise) to graduate student life were recognized this spring when she received the Panteleyev Award, given annually to a graduating student in the MIT/WHOI Joint Program who best exemplifies the commitment to improving the graduate education experience at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
"She has always been helpful to other students, taking the time to explain whatever questions came her way about research, problem sets, and the finer points of doing a cartwheel," wrote one student in a letter nominating Boettcher.
The award is named for George P. Panteleyev, a graduate student who in 1995 was swept overboard and lost in an accident on a research cruise on the Ob River in Siberia.
Boettcher, 29, received the award at a reception for graduates June 1 in Woods Hole. She continues her research at WHOI as a postdoctoral investigator working with Associate Scientist Greg Hirth in the Department of Geology and Geophysics. She studies the frictional behavior of ocean faults where earthquakes occur.

It was probably not the nicest welcome back to hit the poor thing with such a tough job right away, scanning the new bookworm painting I did for Cameron Village Library. It took 7 scans to piece it all together... & the composite still isn't quite right, but close enough.
For an exhibit of my work at Cameron Village Library, Raleigh NC. An experiment in a semi normal format (huge for me, a mAniaturist at heart). It was sort of fun but I still prefer teensiness!
Acrylic on text (from an 1878 encyclopedia) on canvas, 12 x 24"

Taylor Momsen strips in Pretty Reckless video
The former Gossip Girl star is heard reading lines from the song Under the Water as the camera focuses on a series of close-ups.
Lyrics include, "Don't let the water drag you down/ Don't let me drown in the waves... Alone I pray for calmer seas/ And when I wake from this dream with chains all around me/ I've never been free."
As the verse finishes, Momsen is filmed standing nude, with soft lighting the only thing stopping viewers from seeing the star's genitals.

Emerson Kate's Soft, Vintage-Feel Nursery
Name: Emerson Kate
Location: Alexandria, VA
Our goal was to create a bright and creative space with touches of warmth, nostalgia and subtle femininity. We knew we wanted a mix of patterns, but the challenge was finding a good combination that wasn't too overwhelming. We used pops of bright turquoise and orange running throughout the room to bring the mix of patterns together. The lamp shade from Anthropologie served as the inspiration piece of the mix of patterns and fabrics.
We have a small space (our 1930s flat is less than 800 square feet with limited closet space), so we had to be creative with how we stored Emerson's belongings. We found a small dresser that was refinished by Cassie Bustamante at Primitive and Proper. The drawers allowed for storage for changing table supplies, as well as blankets, burp clothes, towels, and wash clothes. Baskets underneath the changing table are cute and practical - they hold bath toys, extra diapers, and wipes.
Because my husband Tim uses the already-tiny closet in Emerson's room, we needed a dresser to hold her clothes. We found the dresser at an antique shop between Washington, DC and Richmond, which we painted as the dominant turquoise element in the room.
We had a big challenge with furniture placement because there are three doors in the room (main door, closet door, and door to a sunroom/office), as well as a long radiator under the window. We didn't have a lot of space for furniture, although we needed it for storage.
Drawing on inspiration from a kid's room tour on Apartment Therapy, we made a bird mobile in which our close friends made fabric birds that now hang over the changing table. We covered a bird house in fabric scraps and found a branch on a walk around our neighborhood. This has been one of Emerson's favorite elements in the room.
We pulled in vintage pieces to give the room a nostalgic feel. We picked up the whale plank at the Eastern Market flea on Capitol Hill. We found the vintage Pooh books at a yard sale, and spotted the wooden duck at an antique store in our neighborhood of Del Ray. The colors in the LOVE print from Made by Girl fit so well with the room that we decided to use that over the dresser.
Thankfully, our work paid off! This is one of Emerson's favorite rooms in our flat. The soft shag rug gives her a nice break from our hardwood floors and she finds great amusement in pulling the items out of the storage baskets under her changing table! We wanted to find pieces that could grow with her from infancy to childhood, and perhaps to her teenage years. We think we've achieved that with a lot of the pieces in the room.
Thanks Jessica! Readers, say hello at Jessica's blog, Silhouette.

Auditors reviewing a $1.75-million car leasing contract given to a company with a politically connected lobbying firm found that Los Angeles County officials had failed to create a "truly competitive" process, but that there was no evidence of improper influence.
Investigators with the county auditor-controller's office reviewed the Enterprise Rent-a-Car contract at the request of Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich. A report by KCET-TV had raised questions about the way the business was awarded.
Enterprise was given a sole-source, five-year deal in March to provide 60 leased vehicles to the county's Community Development Commission and to maintain the agency's existing fleet. Commission staff projected that outsourcing the fleet services would save about $300,000 a year.
The Nov. 28 report on KCET's "SoCal Connected" focused on the lobbying firm Englander Knabe & Allen and questioned whether its clients — including Enterprise — got an unfair advantage because partner Matt Knabe is the son of county Supervisor Don Knabe, who voted along with all the other supervisors to award the contract.

The AGGMAP ADD or REMOVE model command adds or removes a model from a previously defined aggmap object of type AGGMAP. Models are used in aggmap objects to aggregate data over a non-hierarchical dimension (such as line items), which has no parent relation and therefore cannot be aggregated by a RELATION (for aggregation) statement. See MODEL (in an aggregation) for details.
AGGMAP {ADD model TO aggmap|REMOVE model FROM aggmap}
Temporarily adds a model to an aggmap object. The model is attached to the aggmap only for the duration of the session. Even when the analytic workspace has been updated and committed, the model is discarded from the aggmap when the session is closed.
Removes a model from an aggmap.
The name of the model object that you wish to add to the specified aggmap.
The name of a previously defined aggmap object of type AGGMAP.
Most aggmap objects are defined to calculate variable values that are dimensioned by permanent dimension members (that is, dimension members that persist from one session to another). However, users might wish to create their own aggregates at runtime for forecasting or what-if analysis, or just because they want to view the data in an unforeseen way. Adding temporary members to dimensions and aggregating data for those members is sometimes called creating temporary or custom aggregates.
Example 6-34 Temporarily Adding a Model to an Aggmap
Assume for example, that you have an aggmap object named
letter.aggmap with the following definition.
DEFINE LETTER.AGGMAP AGGMAP AGGMAP RELATION letter.letter PRECOMPUTE ('AA') END
Assume also that you want to create summarized variable data for the cells that are dimensioned by the dimension values
AAB and
ABA. However, you do not want this data to be permanently stored in the analytic workspace. You just want to see the data during your session.
To perform this type of aggregation, you can take the following steps:
Create a dimension value for the custom aggregate. This dimension value will be the parent of the dimension values
AAB and
ABA. The following statement adds '
BB' to the
letter dimension:
MAINTAIN letter ADD 'BB'
Create a
MODEL object that contains an
AGGREGATION function, which associates child dimension values with the new dimension value. The following model identifies
BB as the parent of
AAB and
ABA. Note that the parent dimension value (in this case, BB) cannot already be defined as a parent in the parent relation (
DEFINE LETTER.MODEL MODEL MODEL DIMENSION letter BB=AGGREGATION('AAB' 'ABA')
Execute an
AGGMAP ADD statement to append the model to the existing
AGGMAP object.
AGGMAP ADD letter.model TO letter.aggmap
The aggmap now looks like this.
DEFINE LETTER.AGGMAP AGGMAP AGGMAP RELATION letter.letter PRECOMPUTE ('AA') END AGGMAP ADD letter.model
The model is executed only by the
AGGREGATE function like the one shown here; the
AGGREGATE command ignores it.
REPORT AGGREGATE(units USING letter.aggmap)
When you wish to remove the model from the aggmap during a session, use the
AGGMAP REMOVE statement.
To ensure that your aggmap does not become a permanent object in the analytic workspace, before you close your session issue the following statement to delete the dimension values that you added in Step 1.
MAINTAIN letter DELETE 'BB'
