Why Market Timing does not work
Few words characterize today's financial markets like uncertainty. When overseas economic issues can rob investors of months of gains and speeches by Federal Reserve officials cause markets to flip-flop unpredictably, investors are left wondering what they should do. In an attempt to make major market movements work for their portfolios rather than against, some investors attempt to time the market. Market timing is the strategy of trying to predict future market movements to time buying […] Read more »
4 Things you shouldn't do right now

Journalist murdered in broad daylight
MIRPURKHAS- A Thar-based journalist was murdered in broad daylight in Shadi Large town in the afternoon. Soofi Muhammad Khan, correspondent of daily "Ummat" was shot dead in a main city area, Shadi Large Mori by a person identified as Ayaz Pathan and his accomplices.
Soofi received several bullet injuries and died on the spot. After the case was lodged by deceased's brother Rehmat Khan, police arrested accused Ayaz and four others and recovered a pistol, which was used in the murder of the journalist.
SSP Badin Nasir Khan told that Soofi had developed a rift with the accused and when he saw a news item against him, the accused got furious and shot dead the reporter. Sources said the accused himself surrendered to police.
The late journalist did numerous investigative stories regarding women trafficking in Thar. He was constantly receiving death threats and a few months back some unknown people had attempted to kill him in which he was injured. However no one was arrested in this connection.
In an emergent meeting of local journalists, the murder was strongly condemned. The meeting, which was well attended by the members of Mirpurkhas press club and union of journalists, called upon the authorities to ascertain the real cause of the murder. They demanded exemplary punishment to the accused.
According to a Hyderabad correspondent the murder comes a day before the International Day of Press Freedom that is on May 3rd. Soofi, 45, has left behind a widow and nine children.

Look at these two. Ever so cute. Ever so innocent. Poor little sods don't stand a chance with Rosebud.
I don't know how she does it, but in her pitch dark room, in the wee hours of the day, she's able to wrangle these suckers around until she find that right ear, and I mean that RIGHT ear, stick it as far as she can in that little mouth, et voila.
I tried subbing out one of the three major bear suckers the other night with a dinosaur and nearly brought the house down with her screaming. Silly mommy. Dinosaurs don't have ears. Dinosaurs only have tails. NO EARS, MOM. THEY HAVE NO RIGHT EAR!! WHERE'S ONE OF MY BEARS?!?!?
Yes. She's got three. And counting.
Bear. It's what's for dinner.

I needed to take a break. I was not sure how to write about what went down Sunday night. I was kind of, sort of, rooting for the Broncos but really just wanted a good game (and boy was everyone let down with that.) That was nothing though. That was small potatoes. No, I got a good glimpse into the hearts and minds of far too many of my fellow Americans over one of the oddest things imaginable: a Coca Cola commercial.
By now you have all heard the story. Coca Cola, in what to me seemed like a revisiting of their "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" campaign, ran spot featuring a changing cast of characters singing America The Beautiful in multiple languages. I thought it was touching, a reminder of all the cultures that have formed our United States. I also knew what was coming, and the internet did not disappoint.
The explosion occurred mostly on Twitter, and friends jumped on it before I did. Tweet after tweet of xenophobic disgust took over social networks. Coca Cola's website was inundated with hateful comments. For my part, I was disgusted that I found myself in the position of defending one of the worst companies on Earth, though I realized I was less defending them, then speaking out against the bigots.
After a few hours of reading the stupidity I asked anyone who was offended by the commercial to unfriend me. To my knowledge no one took me up on that. I do not remember ever being so angry. Yes there have been injustices more worthy of my anger, and I have written about them. I suppose it just brought me to my breaking point.
Human civilization goes back twelve thousand years. Homo sapiens has been around for about two-hundred thousand. Hominids of any kind, and many of them used tools, have been around for two million. You would think over that time we would get to the point where we were no longer so willing to hate people simply for being different. You would think we past our fear of the other, but I guess that is asking too much.
So yes, I am so very angry, and I will not apologize for it. I will go one further and say that if you are not angry at these people, there is something wrong with you. These attitudes are what allows the cruel, short-sighted, greedy factions in the economic elite to pit us against each other and vote against our best interests. It is these attitudes that keep us killing each other. It is these attitudes that hold us back, and allow for people to die from starvation and exposure despite the fact that there is enough wealth to make sure that NEVER happens.
So again, yes, I am angry, because these people are making the world a worse place and too few of those who disagree with them ever say anything, at least not in any meaningful way. I know I sound like a broken record, but if you sit quietly while your friends and family spout this nonsense, then you are complicit. I do not get what it will take to shake you out of your fear of offending them, because they sure as hell do not care about offending you. Do not even get me started on so-called compassionate conservatives who refuse to call this out.
I am tired of playing nice with people who are not nice. I am tired of being patient. I want to scream and shake them and tell them what bastards they are. They make it so difficult to live up to the ideas of peace that I aspire to. Part of me feels ashamed for the way I react to this, but at what point is passivity violence? When do we admit that we are letting them shape our world, and they are doing a crappy job of it? Maybe I need to calm down, but people make that so very difficult. Maybe tomorrow, or the day after I will feel less rage. Today though, it is just too hard.

Assistant Professor Alicia Au, MD, has been awarded a Mentored Patient-Oriented Research Career Development Award (known as a K23 award) from the National Institutes for Health for her pediatric neurological morbidity research. Entitled "Mixed Graphical Models for the Prediction of Neurological Morbidity in the PICU," this exciting research stands to revolutionize the field of pediatric critical care by identifying ICU-related neurological vulnerability and preventing ICU-acquired neurological morbidity. She will use an approach that combines big data, biomarkers, and machine learning.
Dr. Au's mentors include Robert Clark, MD, Professor and Vice Chair for Pediatric Critical Care in the Department of Critical Care Medicine and Takis Benos, PhD, Professor and Vice Chair in the Department of Computational and Systems Biology at the University of Pittsburgh.
Dr. Au received her MD from Jefferson Medical College and did a pediatric residency at Children's National Medical Center. She then moved to Pittsburgh to undertake a Pediatric Critical Care Fellowship at Children's Hospsital of Pittsburgh of UPMC and most recently was a T32 Scholar in the Safar Center for Resuscitation Research where she studied neurointensive care and resuscitation research. She also holds an MS in Clinical Research from the Institute for Clinical Research Education at the University of Pittsburgh.
The K23 award provides support for the career development of investigators who have made a commitment to focus their research endeavors on patient-oriented research. The K23 provides support for a three-year minimum up to five-year period of supervised study and research for clinically trained professionals who have the potential to develop into productive, clinical investigators.

New information has surfaced on the Amazing Spider Man 2 3DS page on Nintendo's official website which indicates that the 3DS version of the game will be developed by U.S. based High Voltage Software and not the Beenox Studio as everyone was expecting previously.
The studio is very well recognized for their work on Wii shooter The Conduit and The Conduit 2. Recently, the studio has been working on the contractual bases with the games like Ben 10 Omniverse 2 and the PC and PS4 versions of the Injustice: Gods Among Us.
So far it is confirmed that the game will take nothing from the upcoming movie and will have its own unique storyline and play-style that will suit both the players and the Spiderman himself.
However, villains from the movie and some new ones will be making an appearance in the game as Spiderman tries to free New York City from the biggest threat yet. Like the previous title, the game will be completely open world and you will be able to free roam around the Manhattan area.
It must be good news for the fans of the franchise as one of great developers are now working on the game. We just hope that the game stays true to the roots of the comics and delivers a great gaming experience.
Amazing Spider Man 2 launches on 3DS on 29th of April in North America and May 2nd in Europe.
Do you think High Voltage Software is capable of making a great Spider Man adventure? Let us know in your comments!

Healthy Meals - Cooked Lebanese Lentils
This is soul food for me. My grandparents immigrated from Lebanon at the turn of the century. My grandmother was the best cook around. She explained to me that the poor folks in Lebanon would always eat lentils because it would fill them up, was a healthy meal, and was inexpensive to make. It was a staple in their diet. But, here in the US, she typically would make them on Fridays because it was a non-meat day for the family. Now, as a vegan, I have come to appreciate them even more!
The Lebanese name for this dish is Mujadara (cooked lentils). This is the recipe my grandmother taught me to make. I make this dish for my family often. Everyone loves it!
This recipe serves 4. I will typically make a double batch because they are just as good after being in the refrigerator overnight
Mujadara - Lebanese Lentils
1 cup of brown lentils – soaked overnight (they will expand to about double)
½ cup of brown rice
2 yellow onions – peeled and chopped
¼ cup of olive oil
Ground Cinnamon to taste
Ground Cumin to taste
Garlic powder to taste
Dehydrated mint leaves – crushed – 1 teaspoon (optional)*
3-4 cups of water
3 vegetable bouillon cubes
In a large pot, sauté the onions in the olive oil until they are translucent (about 5 minutes).
Add the lentils and the rice to the onions and sauté for 5 minutes.
Add the remaining ingredients and stir well.
Bring to a boil and lower heat
Let the lentils simmer for about an hour or until all the liquid is absorbed.
The lentils should be soft and opened.
The consistency should a little bit mushy but not watery.
*We used to grow mint in our garden. My grandma would dry the leaves and give them to us to include in our cooking. It is a great in salads, soups, and lentils!
Lentils are a great side dish. They can also be served as a main dish with salad on the side. When we went to my grandparents house, she would serve them with a big tabouleah salad, kalamata olives and pita bread. This is one of my favorite yummy healthy meals!

I actually thought I would miss summer more, that it would be harder to transition into being back at school, and back in an actual classroom, but it wasn't that bad.
This morning I started out with my online courses. It was mostly just set up today, meeting my teachers (All I think will be wonderful at the subjects they are teaching) and making sure you have everything and setting up the technical side of things. I am super excited about some of the classes I'll be getting to take this semester (Photography, here i come!) and some of the units we'll be covering in certain classes (Biology units about the circulatory system, the heart and enzymes in the body, yay!)
And then, this afternoon, I went to actual school. I went about a half hour early just so one of the teachers could show me around, introduce me to my teacher, show me where my class was and help me get my text books. The teacher that showed me around was actually my brother and sister's teacher last year, and she was so great. She told me the door to her office is always open if I ever need anything.
When the bell rang for my class, a stampede of people came out of every room with a door. Apparently I haven't been in a school setting for a while because my first instinct was to run. Making my way through the sea of people and to my classroom isn't the easiest thing I've ever done, and it was actually pretty intimidating. I kind of felt like this:
My class has 6 students, including myself. There's 3 boys, and 3 girls, and today we all sat either at the back or in the middle.
My teacher for Physics is named Ms. Bluemink, and she teaches barefoot, which means I already like her. She's really nice, and laid back. I have her for both my classes next semester as well, which I am excited about, as it means I only have to introduce myself to one teacher and only remember my way to one classroom.
So that was my day. And all in all it was a pretty good first day. I have a feeling this is going to be a pretty good year :)

We need to organise a time and place where we can all meet and pair off into sexual partners for the evening.
Maybe we should do it like the mixtape exchange where everyone puts their names into a hat and you find out when you get there. We could even theme it too?

Convert area surface measuring units between homestead (hstd) and ∅ one yard spheres (∅ 1yd) but in the other reverse direction from ∅ one yard spheres into homesteads.
|conversion result for area surface:
|1 homestead
|∅ one yard spheres
|∅ 1yd
Converter type: area surface units
This online area surface from hstd into ∅ 1yd converter is a handy tool not just for certified or experienced professionals.
First unit: homestead (hstd) is used for measuring area.
Second: sphere one yard diameter (∅ 1yd) is unit of area.
246,499.18 ∅ 1yd is converted to 1 of what?
The ∅ one yard spheres unit number 246,499.18 ∅ 1yd converts to 1 hstd, one homestead. It is the EQUAL area value of 1 homestead but in the ∅ one yard spheres area unit alternative.
How to convert 2 homesteads (hstd) into ∅ one yard spheres (∅ 1yd)? Is there a calculation formula?
First divide the two units variables. Then multiply the result by 2 - for example:
246499.175861 * 2 (or divide it by / 0.5)
1 hstd = ? ∅ 1yd
1 hstd = 246,499.18 ∅ 1yd

With the above mentioned two-units calculating service it provides, this area surface converter proved to be useful also as a teaching tool:
1. in practicing homesteads and ∅ one yard spheres ( hstd vs. ∅ 1yd ) values exchange.
2. for conversion factors training exercises between unit pairs.
3. work with area surface's values and properties.

Abbreviation or prefix ( abbr. ) brevis - short unit symbol for sphere one yard diameter is:
∅ 1yd
One homestead of area surface converted to sphere one yard diameter equals to 246,499.18 ∅ 1yd
How many ∅ one yard spheres of area surface are in 1 homestead? The answer is: The change of 1 hstd ( homestead ) unit of area surface measure equals = to 246,499.18 ∅ 1yd ( sphere one yard diameter ) as the equivalent measure for the same area surface type.
In principle with any measuring task, switched on professional people always ensure, and their success depends on, they get the most precise conversion results everywhere and every-time. Not only whenever possible, it's always so. Often having only a good idea ( or more ideas ) might not be perfect nor good enough solution. If there is an exact known measure in hstd - homesteads for area surface amount, the rule is that the homestead number gets converted into ∅ 1yd - ∅ one yard spheres or any other area surface unit absolutely exactly.

Why DIY Video Isn't Your Best Option
Featured Blogger:
Michael Foucault
You and your company may have tossed around the idea of making a video and thought why not make one on our own? Next came the simple web search: "How to create a marketing video" that gave you a ton of results with lots of tips that may or, more than likely, may not be helpful to you. I cringe every time I see someone legitimately suggest using a smart phone to create a video for their business. With so many variables and bad advice across the web, maybe it's time to rethink the DIY approach to your business image.
Here is a short list of 3 things to think about when considering DIY video.
There are lots of elements to creating and executing a good video. Do you know them and have the ability to manage them all?
Video production is no small task; when you set out to make a video to showcase your business, it's so much more than just pointing a camera at yourself and putting it on YouTube that afternoon.
There is a lot that is involved, such as planning your video and deciding its use. Setting ways to track your goals. Pre-production, scripting, shooting, lighting, editing, graphics, and animation. The ability to identify which of the aforementioned are necessary and being able to execute on them are both necessary to create a video, and they all require expertise to do well. A video professional will have that expertise, and can help make sure that everyone gets to see you in your field of expertise and see it well.
It takes a long time to create a video project in general, and longer still when you're working on running your normal day-to-day business.
So now that we know video production is no small thing, it's easy to see that it will take time to complete all of the tasks. Good video is not something that can be quickly thrown together in time for the next marketing meeting. You probably have an inbox full of things that need attention, and your work that has to be done will obviously take your time away from creating an amazing video. It's very likely that your timeline for creating that video you're planning will end up being much longer than anticipated. If you need good video done correctly, hiring a video professional will more than likely be a good option for you.
Poor quality can cost money in lost sales. So how much are you really saving?
Quality is key in video. With quality comes consumer engagement, increased visibility, increases user time on sites, and, most important, can increase sales.
When considering DIY for your business and its image, can you truly create engaging, quality content that will do all that? Can you create quality video with your smartphone or handycam that consumers will want to watch? Put yourself in the seat of your viewers; would you sit and watch a poor quality movie, with bad lighting, unintelligible audio, and a shaky camera? How long would you watch that video? And how would it form your opinion of the company that put it out? Sure, you can save money on video production if you do it yourself--you can probably save a lot of money, actually--but can you afford to put something on your website that will paint your company's image in a bad light, possibly turning prospects away from engaging with your brand? How much would it cost in lost sales? If your video is subpar, it will do more harm than good, driving viewers away in search for content worth watching, and that will ultimately cost you more than the money you saved on making that video yourself.
When your business reputation is at stake, don't take chances at getting it wrong. Make sure you have the best first impression from the start. DIY video marketing sure sounds like a great idea, but if you lack the skill sets and the time to do it right, it will harm your company image more than help it, and that will cost more than anything you would have saved. You stand to gain more when you trust and invest in a company that is there to make your business look good. It takes the guess work, the worry of doing it right, and the workload out of it.
So how do you know which company is right? Here are Five Questions to Ask Your Potential Video Vendor.

As far as Welly beaches go, Island Bay is pretty awesome. The fiance and I have been spending a lot of time there recently, and neither of us can get enough.
Apart from being gorgeously rugged with a little pontoon to jump off, an island to kayak to, some crazy big seaweed, and super clear (and freezing) water, it is a beautiful place to ride our bikes through and even has a little aquarium with a 'touching pool' so you can touch weird squishy anemones and sea cucumbers (not everyones cup of tea I admit).
Basically, if you are in Welly I recommend going there!

Outcome of conservative treatment vs intraoperative air descemetopexy for inadvertent localised Descemet's membrane detachment during phacoemulsification surgery
Poster Details
First Author: T. Khanam UK
Co Author(s):
Abstract Details
To analyse the outcome of intraoperative air bubble descmetopexy post phacoemulsification versus conservative management of localized descemet's membrane detachment.
University College London Hospital NHS Trust
20 consecutive eyes of 25 patients with localized descemets membrane detachment during phacoemulsification were enrolled. First 20 eyes were managed conservatively and the subsequent 20 eyes were injected with intracameral 100% air bubble at the end of surgery.
All 20 eyes had phacoemulsification with IOL insertions. Successful reattachment of Descemets membrane and resolution of corneal oedema occurred in all cases. Mean time for corneal oedema resolution in-group 1 (conservative treatment) was 20 days versus 8 days in-group 2 (air bubble treatment). Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at 3 months in-group 1 was 0.2 log Mar or better. In comparison, BCVA in-group 2 was 0.10 log Mar or better.
Air descemetopexy appears to be superior to conservative treatment with regards to quicker visual recovery and achieving a better BCVA after localized descemets membrane detachment during phacoemulsification surgery.

3 Cool New Gadgets that Are Blowing Minds
Advancing technology has set the stage for some incredible new gadgets that make life easier, more convenient and a lot of fun. If you think your latest smartphone app is something special, wait until you see how three cool new gadgets are giving consumers and creators the opportunity to utilize their minds in ways many never thought possible.
Google Glass
This amazing eyewear can do almost anything a smartphone can do, including provide access to the World Wide Web for answers to almost any question. Even more amazing, Glass can generate visual displays that augment reality. Don't know where you are? Ask this amazing piece of Google technology for directions and arrows will appear atop the ground before your very eyes. Don't know the meaning of an Italian word? Ask Glass and it will speak the meaning right into your ears. Completely hands free, Google's intuitive augmented reality eyewear also lets you easily take videos and snap pictures, which you can send to any person, regardless of their location on the planet.
Mattel's mind-boggling mental acuity game lets opponents control tangible objects using just their minds. Competitors place sensors on their foreheads and earlobes, allowing Mindflex to sense brainwaves which it interprets as directions. Strong concentration skills force a floating sphere in the direction of your opponent, who tries to push it in your direction using only his or her mind. It may sound like something from the future; however, this incredible "toy" is already available at local department stores.
eBook Downloads
To the dismay of the publishing houses, e-Readers are quickly changing the way consumers get their books. Additionally, these gadgets have been a godsend to authors, who are now able to use self-publishing platforms to get their novels in front of readers. According to RJ Lawrence who distributes his eBooks download through Amazon.com, this technology has been hugely beneficial to both readers and authors.
"Some of the old guards in the publishing profession say that self-publishing hurts readers by letting low-quality material into the marketplace," he said. "In the past, agents and publishers acted as filters that supposedly worked to keep bad writers and bad stories off bookstore shelves. In reality, however, I think we can all agree that there were plenty of bad books available to readers long before self-publishing came about. In the end, readers are perfectly capable of keeping bad writing at bay on their own through basic word of mouth and ratings systems."
UBid, Happybidday, Pennygrab: Are All Online Auctions the Same?
Penny Auctions have grown in popularity over the past year, thanks to widespread radio and television promotion. Unfortunately, they've also come under plenty of fire for bilking unsuspecting consumers out of their hard-earned money. Sites such as UBid, Happybidday, and PennyGrab pit users against one another in auction-style online formats that promise to deliver bargain prices on brand name products. That said, although these sites seem quite similar at first glance; they aren't necessarily the same.
AARP Issues Warning
Recently the AARP issued a warning to its members regarding penny auction sites that take advantage of unsuspecting consumers. According to the organization, many people don't realize that many of these sites are unlike traditional online auctions, such as eBay, because they require consumers to pay for the right to bid. Ultimately, it doesn't matter whether bidders win an individual action or not; they must pay to participate. This means that any time an auction ends; numerous people have lost money, allowing the auction company to reap large profits at the expense of its customers.
Are They All the Same?
While most penny auctions work the same way, not all maintain the same level of credibility. For instance, while Penny Grab and U Bid are accredited by the Better Business Bureau; Happy Bid Day is not. Likewise, while pennygrab.com and happybidday.com require customers to pay money for the right to bid, ubid.com says it only charges a consumer's credit card if he or she actually wins. Ultimately, this characteristic makes uBid a traditional auction site, which sets it apart from typical pay-to-play auction sites that force consumers to put money at risk just for the right to participate.
FTC Urges Caution
Like the AARP, the Federal Trade Commission has expressed concern about the way some of these bid-and-buy websites work. According to the federal agency, even when participants win a penny auction auction; the vast majority end up paying more than they expected. Additionally, the FTC warns that some sites use automated bots to make false bids on products, which helps drive up prices to encourage higher profits for the company.
Funny Facebook Pictures Taking Over
Social networking sites are more popular than ever; however, not everyone is using them the way they were intended. Originally, designed to allow users to connect, these websites are now being utilized for a variety of other reasons, including product marketing, political campaigning and more. If you've checked your wall lately, you've probably seen more than a few funny Facebook pictures peppered throughout. While many appreciate these humorous postings for breaking the monotony of the typical day; for some, they have become a way to creatively market books and other merchandise.
The Viral Impact
Years ago, to effectively market their creative works, artists and humorists had to land a publishing contract or spend big bucks on marketing campaigns aimed at promoting t-shirts, hats and greeting cards. Nowadays, social networks can expose these creations to millions of people in a matter of days or even hours.
Recently, Ryan Lawrence, one of our in-house news feature writers, created WTFtoids Funny Pictures, a Facebook profile intended to market his humorous Kindle book, "WTFtoids." According to Lawrence, he got the idea from a close friend who saw great success from using social media platforms to expose his work to a larger audience.
"Not that long ago, it wouldn't have made any sense to post your work on Facebook," he said. "Without some sort of digital eBook available, users wouldn't be able to purchase anything; so you would basically be giving away your work for free."
Thanks to modern digital eReaders, authors such as Lawrence are now able to easily sell their work to consumers throughout the world, while using social media websites to bolster interest.
"A lot of people are tired of seeing ramblings about politics, religion and daily complaints," Lawrence said. "Everyone has problems, and people would rather see funny Facebook pictures on their walls than read about annoying topics that don't directly affect their lives."
HappyBidDay Scam? Penny Auctions a Bad Deal: FTC
Allowed to operate for years without much scrutiny, penny auctions have fallen under a microscope of late, thanks to some powerful organizations that have begun warning consumers about potential rip-offs. One site, called Happy Bid Day calls itself the #1 discount auction site on the web; however, there's plenty of Internet chatter regarding a supposed HappyBidDay scam. Before you play, learn what some consumer advocates are saying.
The Low-down on Penny Auctions
Just a few months ago, the Federal Trade Commission issued a report warning consumers about bidding fee auction sites similar to Happy Bid Day. According to the federal agency, since users must risk money to place every bid, they tend to come out on the losing end more often than not. Recently, both the Better Business Bureau and AARP joined the fight to educate consumers by issuing their own reports warning about the use of automated software to cheat unwitting users.
Is HappyBidDay a Scam?
According to the BBB, many penny auctions use automated bots to place bids on behalf of the websites themselves. This drives up prices, prolongs auctions and encourages bidder failure; all of which help the companies earn greater profits than they normally would. While there's no way to know if HappyBidDay.com uses similar strategies; the company is not accredited by the BBB, and the organization has currently placed a consumer alert on Happy Bid Day, because "mail sent to the business was returned by the U.S. Postal Service."
Are there Any Reputable Penny Auctions?
The FTC and ARRP warn bargain-hunters to stay away from bidding fee auction sites; however, many consumers who view the websites as contests may enjoy participating in what they see as a form of high-risk entertainment. The BBB has awarded some auction websites with an A rating, including QuiBids, which recently underwent testing by a third-party auditing company that determined the website did not use automated bots to cheat its users.
If you want to risk your money at one of these sites, but are worried about a potential HappyBidDay scam, you'd be well-advised to look for an auction site that has earned a high rating from the BBB. That said, don't expect to have a high success rate; as most participants end up losing money in the long run.
YouNeverLose Scam? Site unlike other Penny Auctions
Penny auctions have received plenty of bad press, and for good reason. Although these sites frequently offer electronics at alluring prices; consumers tend to lose money because they have to pay every time they place a bid. Additionally, many sites are known to use automated software to place fake bids on behalf of the companies, themselves. Although new sites seem to pop up every single day, most every one employs the same business model. That said, recently, a new company called You Never Lose joined the fray using a slightly different angle. If you're worried about a potential YouNeverLose scam, consider the following.
Unlike Typical Penny Auctions
YouNeverLose.com is much different from typical bidding fee auction sites in that it allows users to hedge against potential losses. Rather than paying money for the right to place a bid, users use points, which they earn every time they purchase gift cards at their face values. For instance, if you were to purchase a $50 Sears gift card using the website, you'd also receive 50 points, which you can use to place bids on additional gift cards using the company's auction platform.
This setup is great for people who don't like the high-risk, high-reward nature of traditional penny auction websites. If you squander all of your points and fail to win the auction, you still get to keep the card you bought; and if you are able to outbid your competitors, you'll get an additional card for pennies on the dollar.
Things to Consider
According to the Better Business Bureau, penny auctions are known to scam consumers by utilizing bots to place false bids on behalf of the auctioneers. That said, the BBB has given certain companies high ratings when they've taken steps to prove that they don't do this. For instance, recently the organization improved QuiBids rating when the company hired a third-party auditing service to test its operations.
Currently, YouNeverLose is not rated by the BBB; so consumers have no way of knowing if the site uses automated software to scam its users. That said, most consumers tend to lose money at even the most honest penny auction websites; so if you are planning to buy a gift card, it may make sense to do it at YouNeverLose.com just in case you're able to parlay the purchase into something special.
Just remember that you will have to pay a processing fee to claim your award, which will ultimately siphon off some of your savings. Additionally, you could get cheaper gift cards at exchange websites, which offer unused cards at discounted prices.

I happened upon a little gallery while in Bath - very near the Crystal Palace it was. I took a peek inside and was glad I did. There was interesting stuff there, all made from from stuff the artists had 'found' - like this fellow:
He had an interesting arm, he did. I say 'he' - although I could be wrong there:
I had a wee chat with Catherine who was co-organising the exhibition and a lovely lady she was too. We were the same age, it turned out.
There was a lot of Box Art in the gallery too, by the likes of Robert Lee - but I didn't get a snap of any. Too busy talking - makes a change for me.

It's a safe bet that Elon Musk is the coolest guy in the world and anyone who argues clearly doesn't like good things.
Between building electric cars, sending said cars into space or selling flamethrowers online, it has been revealed that Elon finds his inspiration from none other than Kanye West.
Speaking with TicToc by Bloomberg during the weekend, Musk was asked the simple question of what/who inspires him, to which he "obviously" answered with Yeezy himself. Check the snippet from the interview below:

Now, we know Elon has a taste for sarcasm, so before you carve it out in stone that he loves Yeezy just know he may very well be taking the mickey with us all, but hey, it's good enough for me.
While we have you, check Space X's official recap video from their Falcon Heavy launch below.

In a bizarre incident, a parrot accused of hurling obscenities at an elderly woman was summoned to a police station at Rajura in Maharashtra's Chandrapur district on 17 August. This happened after a complaint against its owner for allegedly tutoring his caged pet was filed.
The police was at its wit's end after 85-year-old Janabai Sakharkar accused her stepson Suresh of teaching his parrot 'Hariyal', to shower abuses at her whenever she passed by his house.
In order to verify the agitated woman's complaint, the police called all the three involved, including Janabai, her stepson Suresh and Hariyal the parrot to the police station.
However, the parrot, conscious of khaki clad policemen, kept mum when his cage was brought near Janabai, to see if it would hurl any obscenities at her.
"There is a dispute over land and property between the woman and her stepson. We watched the parrot carefully but it did not utter a word at the police station after being confronted by the complainant," said Police Inspector P S Dongre.
Although Hariyal never showed any alleged penchant to abuse the woman, the police decided to hand it over to forest department officials, after taking into account the harassed mental condition of the aged woman.
Previous bizarre incidents
- In July, 2015 a chicken, owned by a Hindu family, had triggered off communal violence when it had pecked at the leg of a Muslim youth in Kanpur. The chicken was charged with rioting, breach of peace, and assault.
In May, 2015 a "spy pigeon" had been detained in India who was believed to have been carrying a secret message from Pakistan.
In April, 2015 an elephant was pumped with 34 bullets by the Bangladesh Border guards for cross-border infiltration. The elephant had strayed into Rajsahi district of Bangladesh from Murshidabad district of West Bengal.
- In February, 2014 a dog was booked by the Uttar Pradesh police for biting Police Inspector Vijay Yadav. The dog had been booked under section 289 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) which holds the owner of the animal responsible for negligent conduct with respect to animal that can cause harm to humans.

Dropbox is one of the most impressive startups now a days, not because they've built anything terribly prescient or awe-inspiring, but because they've come up with an online storage product that I might actually use regularly.
The idea behind Dropbox, which officially enters into private beta today is that little to no effort should be put into keeping your desktop files synced with "the cloud". So the three founders have built a Python-based desktop client (available for both PCs and Macs) that acts like a regular folder on your machine. You can manage files within this folder just like elsewhere on your machine (add, edit, copy, and delete them) and changes will be automatically synced to Dropbox's Amazon S3-backed storage, and very quickly at that. See a screencast here.
Here's how to get the most out of Dropbox:
- Put files in your Dropbox folder
These files will automatically be synced and backed up online. Then you can access the files in your Dropbox from anywhere by logging into the Dropbox website.
- Install Dropbox on other computers you use
Computers linked to your Dropbox account automatically sync and always have up-to-date copies of your files. You won't need to email attachments to yourself or carry around USB drives ever again!
- Share folders in your Dropbox and invite people to them
Sharing lots of files (even large ones) has never been easier.

LMPD escorts teens out of Jefferson Mall
LOUISVILLE, Ky. —
A disturbance involving teens was reported Tuesday at Jefferson Mall.
Mall security called LMPD's 7th Division to help escort a small group of youth who were allegedly being loud, unruly and cursing in the mall.
Police said they made no arrests and no crimes were committed, but they assisted mall security in escorting the youth out of the building and taking them to their TARC bus stops.
Mall management issued a statement Wednesday, saying:
"A code of conduct is posted at mall entrances and on the mall's website.
On Tuesday evening, a group of teens were disruptive and escorted off the property without incident."

I am creating a table with bearings and distances, I have roughly 170 points of a shoreline traverse, when I select all the table does not populate some points in sequence. IE in a point range of 1-20, it'll populate the list 1-13,18-20(being points 14-6),14-16(being points 18-20)
is there a way to correct this outside of selecting and adding each point individually?

Where was this course when I finished my degree!!!???
Strathclyde University - MSc Business Analysis and Consulting
OK, so when I completed my degree I wouldn't have given this course a second look, but now... yeah sounds like a good MSc.
Definitely couldn't do the Full Time course at the moment, and with work and family life the Part Time course would be difficult. So for the moment it's a no goer.
Just need to stick to my degree and MSc.

Rabbits, like squirrels and other small animals, sometimes find their way into holes in your house. Rabbits can find a new home in a wall, or under a garage or home addition. Whether it's your pet bunny run amok or a wild rabbit, you can successfully and safely remove it after it finds its way into your house with the right bait and a bit of patience.
Things You'll Need
- Live trap
- Bait
Video of the Day
Examine the outside of your home for holes under porches, additions and garages. Look for places the rabbit might have entered. Even small holes could provide a point of entry. If your indoor bunny has gotten loose, check walls, crawl spaces and behind appliances for openings.
Locate the hole and set a live trap. These traps don't harm animals and are commonly found at hardware stores and major retailers; some animal-control agencies will rent or lend them, as well. Use celery, carrots, lettuce or rabbit pellets as the bait. Place the trap outside of the entry hole and remain patient; it might take several hours for the rabbit to emerge. When the rabbit is hungry enough, it will find its way out of the hole. Rabbits are most active at dusk and dawn.
Check the trap every 12 hours. Once the rabbit comes out of the hole and trips the trap, he'll be safely held in the cage. Like any animal, the rabbit often will be scared, so approach the cage slowly and put a large towel over the cage to limit the rabbit's visual stimulation. This will help calm the rabbit while you transport it to a safe location for release.
Properly repair the hole so other rabbits or small animals can't re-enter your home.

"'If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good things of the land; but if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.' For the mouth of the Lord has... - Isaiah 1:19-20
Are you living a life of adventure? Would you describe your Christian life as abundant? Jesus promises us a full life when we hand it over to Him, but that looks different for each one of us as we become missional disciples wherever God has placed us.
Church. It's whole purpose is to bring glory to the Creator, to worship Him, and proclaim His message of hope and healing in this world. It's a community of people who do life together, who take care of one another, and who are family.
Porn. It's anything but harmless. When someone is addicted to viewing explicit images, the part in the brain that triggers sexual arousal changes: rather than being attracted to their spouse, they're attracted to an image. This can cause irreparable damage to marriages and families. Not only that, the porn industry abuses thousands of women and men in the name of profit, every single day.
The book of Acts has a lot to teach us about what a life fully committed to God looks like. Are you ready to see what the abundant life is all about? In this four part series you'll work through several sections in the book of Acts and you'll have the chance to talk to a mentor as you learn.
Many of us obsess about God's calling on our lives. We may wonder what kind of career God is leading us to; we dream about making a difference, about falling into the exact and concrete will of God. And when things don't fall into place like we think they should, we may wonder whether or not we even have a calling.
You know you should trust God. You desperately want Him to rescue you and guide you through the maze of life. Yet the phrase "trust God" can seem so trite; your mind swims with the "what if" possibilities that threaten to overtake you.
Connecting with like-minded people who genuinely care about one another is a gift we take for granted all too often. But it's not always rosy; sometimes, friendship gets messy.

I'm still pretty amazed at just how much E4 likes cars till this day because it was definitely not something we taught him. Which sometimes brings up the whole "nature vs. nurture" debate in my mind.
When E1 was a baby, my parents would buy him more "boy toys" like cars and such thinking that he would like them. But that just wasn't the case, it turns out he loves animals.
And with E4, he came out of the womb liking cars (things with wheels) and would barely look at animals.
So when it comes to toys, I believe a lot of it is nature more than nurture!
Do you have a boy? Is he a car boy or animal boy? Where do you stand in the whole "nature vs. nurture" debate?

Sustainable seafood is harvested in a way that affects the larger marine ecosystem as little as possible. Sustainable fishing practices ensure the continuing health and long term viability of the individual species.
There is a growing awareness and desire among consumers to purchase sustainably caught seafood.
Making the choice to buy and eat sustainable seafood is an easy way to be environmentally responsible. Whether you are a chef who includes sustainable seafood on your menu or an individual who purchases it, making this simple choice makes a difference. When enough people buy sustainable seafood, it sends a message to government and industry leaders that collectively, we support responsible fishing practices. Making these choices today will help ensure our children will be able to enjoy the wonders of our oceans for generations to come.
Two of the main problems facing the fishing industry today are overfishing and bycatch.
Overfishing is the biggest threat to the seafood industry. When a species declines, due to overfishing, it can have a very negative impact on the marine food chain. Large and predatory fish can become threatened as their ability to feed declines. Some scientists believe that if sustainable fishing practices are not widely adopted there will be a global fisheries collapse. It is suggested this could happen as soon as 2048.
Bycatch is the term used to describe any marine species that has been accidentally caught due to the method of fishing. These unintended catches can include small or juvenile fish, the wrong sex or even an entirely different species. Some species like whales, dolphins, seabirds, sharks and turtles are threatened and vulnerable, making bycatch an urgent issue of fishery sustainability.
These are some of the reasons Ocean's is committed to help drive an increase in sustainable fishing.
At Ocean Brands, our policy is to fish tuna only from regions that maintain sustainable numbers. We identify these regions by ensuring that governments, fisheries management organizations and international tuna fleets are working together to maintain the sustainability of these species.
What is FAD free?
A FAD or fish aggregating device is equipment used to attract ocean going fish like tuna, mahi-mahi or marlin. FAD's are often floats or buoys tied to concrete blocks on the bottom of the ocean. All species of fish and marine life are attracted to these floating man-made objects. They may use them to mark mating locations or as a means to provide some protection for their young. As many different species can be attracted to FAD's, their use can result in substantial bycatch and overfishing.
Studies on the use of circle hooks in the long line fishing industry have been very promising. For instance, circular hooks are much less likely to be swallowed by turtles than the traditional J-shaped hooks. Circle hooks can significantly reduce bycatch without reducing the rate of the tuna catch.
We are proud to offer the largest selection of pole and line caught tuna in Canada. Pole and line fishing offers several sustainable advantages. In this traditional fishing method, fish are caught one by one allowing fishermen to be highly selective. Accidentally caught species can usually be returned to the ocean unharmed. Often, species specific bait is used in pole and line fishing. This not attractive to the wrong species which keeps overfishing and bycatch to a minimum.
MSC certified seafood bears a blue MSC label which makes it easy to choose products that are certified sustainable. The certification involves a rigorous vetting process that ensures best fishing practices and chain of custody traceability. The Chain of Custody Standard ensures the blue MSC label is only displayed on seafood that's traceable to an MSC certified sustainable fishery.
These guidelines have been developed through consultation with leading scientists, conservationists and the fishing industry.
Doing our part by adopting sustainability policies is very important to us. It is our hope we will all continue to enjoy the ocean's abundance for generations to come while preserving this amazing, beautiful ecosystem.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- The United States will need foreign-owned dollar capital well into the future and the public should not be swayed by exaggerated emotional arguments of "investment protectionism," said Atlanta Fed President Dennis Lockhart on Friday. There are some legitimate national security concerns to investments, but only in certain industries, he said. Lockhart said large overseas holdings of dollars, played an important role in the recent drama in financial markets. "Liquidity conditions created by foreign-owned dollar surpluses trying to find an investment home in this country contributed to markets' recent unstable conditions," he said. China and oil-producing nations have built up large dollar reserves in recent years.

Weekly physical activity was associated with a 27% to 41% reduction in women's cardiovascular disease risk, according to an analysis of the Women's Health Study reported online in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association.
But body mass index changes contributed only 10% of the improvements in cardiovascular risk, said Samia Mora, M.D., M.H.S., of Harvard and Brigham and Women's Hospital, and colleagues.
Surprisingly, inflammatory and hemostatic biomarkers accounted for about one-third of the reduced risk. Blood pressure effects accounted for another quarter of the risk reduction.
"Until this study, the way physical activity results in cardiovascular benefits long-term has really been a black box," Dr. Mora said in an interview with MedPage Today.
These findings should "encourage patients that even if they don't lose weight, physical activity has many other benefits on a number of different pathways, all of which combine together to lower cardiovascular events," she said.
The researchers analyzed outcomes for 27,055 participants in the larger Women's Health Study of low-dose aspirin and vitamin E for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease.
The women were apparently healthy female healthcare professionals 45 or older and free of self-reported cardiovascular disease and cancer at baseline from 1992 through 1995 and who provided a blood sample and completed a questionnaire on physical activity. Participants completed follow-up questionnaires every six or 12 months.
Over a mean 10.9 years of follow-up, there were 979 first cardiovascular disease events, which were mostly coronary heart disease events (253 MIs, 398 percutaneous coronary interventions, and 219 coronary artery bypass grafts) but also included 266 ischemic strokes.
Only modest changes were seen in individual risk factors with physical activity (about 5% for blood lipids, 3 to 5 mm Hg for blood pressure, and 1% for hemoglobin A1c).
But, there were large improvements in cardiovascular disease risk.
Compared with 200 kcal or less exercise per week, incident cardiovascular disease risk decreased linearly as physical activity increased to 200 to 599 kcal, 600 to 1,499 kcal, and 1,500 kcal or more per week (27%, 32%, and 41% reduction, respectively, P<0.001 for trend).
Overall, 59% of the association between physical activity and cardiovascular disease risk was explained by traditional and novel risk factors measured in the study. The proportion of risk attributed to each factor was:
- 32.6% for inflammatory and hemostatic biomarkers (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, and soluble intracellular adhesion molecule-1)
- 27.1% for blood pressure
- 15.5% for novel lipid parameters (lipoprotein [a] and apolipoprotein A1 and B-100)
- 19.1% for traditional lipid parameters (total, LDL, and HDL cholesterol)
- 10.1% for body mass index
- 8.9% for hemoglobin A1c and diabetes status
Less than 1% for homocysteine and creatinine
Less of the coronary heart disease risk reduction was explained by these risk factors (35.5% versus 59.0% for cardiovascular disease overall), but the pattern of contributing factors was similar.
Likewise, results were similar when activity was calculated in MET-hours per week instead of kilocalories per week, except that body mass index became a more important contributor to risk reduction (21.9%) as did hemoglobin A1c and diabetes (12.2%).
"The mechanisms underlying the chronic anti-inflammatory and hemostatic effects of exercise are not well defined and are only partially related to body weight," the researchers noted.
The remainder of the risk reduction unexplained by these known risk factors could be attributed to unmeasured factors, such as heart rate and heart rate recovery, or could be explained by the same risk factors if they were better measured, said Dr. Mora.
She and her colleagues concluded that even moderate levels of exercise-"at least 600 kcal per week, or the equivalent of just over 2 hours per week of brisk walking, consistent with current guideline recommendations"--lowers risk of clinically important cardiovascular disease events.
While the results need to be confirmed for men as well, moderate exercise "may have important downstream consequences for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease," they wrote.
|The analysis was supported by grants from the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation, Leducq Foundation, and Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. The Women's Health Study is supported by grants from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and the National Cancer Institute and philanthropic support from Elisabeth and Alan Doft and their family.
Dr. Mora reported support from the Sandra Daugherty Foundation and a grant from the American Heart Association. A coauthor reported being a coinventor on patents held by the Brigham and Women's Hospital related to use of inflammatory biomarkers in cardiovascular disease. Another coauthor reported serving as a consultant for Virgin Life Care and sitting on its scientific advisory board.

Not sure.
I am reading three. Or rather, I was. One of them I stopped because after the first few chapters I did what I sometimes do: flipped to the last chapter and read it! Yes, I admit, I do that sometimes. Bad, I know. I guess I am a "little" impatient.
Anyway, the two that I am reading... they are both by Sue Monk Kidd, a new author to me -- there's a list on the column on the right where you can get the names and links to the books: "The Secret Life of Bees", and "The Mermaid Chair". I love them, and I will make sure to read more of her books.
Now... the news to me is that The Secret Life of Bees was made into a movie! I am so looking forward to that one!
Other than that, life has been quite hectic. Today we are not selling the house anymore. Tomorrow... well, tomorrow only the Lord knows.
School is almost back! I can't wait! My timetable will be available online next week, I am very excited to be starting my second (and last) year in College!
