Gym Membership, Skin Membership
Congratulations – you've almost made it through the first month of the new year! While many have enrolled in new gym classes and started the latest juice trends, some are left feeling more razed than fresh at this new and exciting time of year. New Year's resolutions are all about shifting into your best self, but many fail to realize that most resolutions won't be kept up past mid-January!
While some of the top resolutions are about losing weight or getting organized, some are about achieving better skin. But staying committed to your fitness or health goals will also benefit your skin, so you can actually combine resolutions!
Read on to find out what exercise can do for your skin and your body:
1. Improve Your Mood and Your Skin: It's a fact – regular exercise can boost certain fatigue-fighting brain chemicals such as norepinephrine, dopamine and serotonin. These chemicals can help pep up your mood, and they can also boost your attitude about your skin! You may find that once you start exercising, you're no longer too tired to remove your makeup before you go to bed, or you're not so concise about the pimple or wrinkles that decided to show up when you weren't looking. Overall, healthy skin is a great confidence builder!
2. Get Natural Pain Relief: Exercise releases endorphins, the body's natural pain reliever, which can make you less vulnerable to tiny tears in muscles and tendons. This pain reliever might come in handy during extractions if you experience breakouts. Also, when you're working hard and breaking a good sweat, that very sweat helps the body to naturally detox, resulting in clearer, glowing skin.
3. Flaunt Your Inner Diva: Working out is the way to a better body image. Regardless of how much you work out, or what you do, it will make you feel positive about wearing that bikini. The same can be said for your skin – having a great home care regimen with professional skin treatments could be a reason to finally try that red lipstick you've been eyeing!
4. Shrink Unwanted Fat: Stress can cause weight gain and lead to inflammation, which can contribute to the signs of aging, breakouts and other skin issues. More studies are linking stress to adverse effects on the skin, so try yoga or a skin care night at home with a hydrating masque to de-stress.
5. Sleep Away the Signs of Aging: A study found in Sleep Journal observed that aerobic activity is an effective approach to improving sleep quality, mood and quality of life in older adults with chronic insomnia [1]. This quality of sleep can also affect your skin. Scientists believe that skin repairs itself at night, as cell renewal is enhanced in the evening [2]. Some products can even go as far as working with our bodies' biological activity circadian (24-hour) rhythms to also nourish and condition the skin at the same time as you sleep!
So while maintaining fitness goals is ideal for bodily health, it is equally important to recommend a skin care regimen that achieves results. E.J. Masicampo, an assistant psychology professor at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, N.C. who studies goal planning, states, "Goals can be extremely effective, depending on how people set and approach them…They can inspire you and help you keep the bigger picture in mind."
What's the big picture here? Skin and the internal body go hand in hand!

Time to Make a Change?
Have you ever visited a hotel and thought to yourself, "hmmm, this place is looking a bit dated, it needs a mini face lift"? These kinds of details are easy to see when it's someone else's business, but it may not be so easy when it's our own. Just as hotels date quite quickly, so do skin treatment centers. Since your brand image is sacred to you and your customers, it needs to be kept fresh and on trend!
Consider these points:
• Your image is the magnet to attract new clients. A strong, clear-branded image translates to powerful marketing.
• Your reception area offers clients the opportunity, experience and ease of buying from you. Are you capitalizing on this?
• Your image should say "we are progressive, we move forward with our customers ever-evolving needs" not "same old, same old."
• A treatment center revamp shows your customers that you care about your business and you care about them too.
You don't have to break the bank with a revamp – some simple but effective changes can make all the difference. Try these enhancements:
A new coat of paint- consider changing the color of your space, perhaps even slightly. Neutrals work well in the relaxing treatment room environment. I recommend you avoid the color pink – women seem to be over the use of pink in representing something as "feminine".
Buy new towels or headbands, maybe in a new color. Nothing feels nicer than fresh, clean laundry.
Move your posters and art work around. Clients get bored staring at the same images in both your treatment and reception space.
Get new merchandising pieces such as acrylic frames, boxes, cubs etc. to spice things up a bit.
Consider moving your "hot spots" around to again make the familiar unfamiliar.
Invest in dimmer switches if you haven't already. Mood lighting makes a HUGE difference to the overall ambiance.
Move shelves around and look at re-merchandising all your stock.
Less is definitely more. If your space is starting to get cluttered with too many pieces of furniture, plants, ornaments, dried flowers, magazines, etc., have a cleansing session.
Peruse online decorating sites or buy some home styling magazines for inspiration.
The hard bit is getting started, so as Nike says, "Just Do It!" Once done you'll feel and look amazing. Good luck!

New Year, New Goals
As a New Year comes around, the vast majority of us start making resolutions, plans and promises about what we are going to do differently. Whether it's eating more kale, breaking a sweat daily, or finally kicking that nasty habit (or person) to the curb, we all set out with the best intentions. Maybe it's getting more financially organized, having a solid marketing plan, or learning a new skill or technique. But the truth is that even though the New Year seems like the best place to start, if you are like millions of others, procrastination will get in the way. The holiday lights are still warm and the "Excusitis" has set in.
There is always an excuse – why you can't do it, why today it didn't happen, how you're going to do it tomorrow. Procrastination involves the act of replacing high-priority actions with lower priority tasks, like cleaning your treatment room one more time versus introducing yourself to waiting hair clients. Procrastination is bad for you; it results in stress, a sense of guilt, loss of productivity, as well as social disapproval. But every one needs a little motivation and some tools to help them reach their goals!
Here are some tips to keep you on track in 2013:
• Modify your goal as new circumstances warrant a change in direction or pace.
• Monitor your progress daily to keep yourself on target.
• Start with the small bites – procrastination occurs when the task is too big. Start walking every day, then begin jogging before running that 10k.
• Schedule time to work on your goals in an undistracted space.
• Look forward to the success and visualize yourself after completion. Getting started is good, but completion is the outcome you need.
• Join with others who are working hard toward their goals; it's energizing and motivating. This is why many students come to class!
Find your motivational switch. Everyone has a way to switch on their own motivation mode. Is it reward, recognition or penalty? With all goal setting it takes decision, discipline and determination, but reaching your goals boosts self esteem, gives you a sense of fulfilment, and it can actually increase endorphins, making you more personable, creative, positive and confident. So eat that kale. Put on the running shoes. Book that class and see your success clearly on the horizon!

LOVE AND POLITICS: The cast of Upper Cut (pic: Bob Workman)
THE LABOUR party has a thorny relationship with black representation.
And it is this tricky subject that is deftly and humorously tackled in Upper Cut, a play written by Sky journalist Juliet Gilkes Romero.
It focuses on the love triangle between Karen, an ambitious black woman selected for a safe Labour seat before a spectacular fall from grace, her former lover Michael, a one-time black activist now fully absorbed into the New Labour establishment as deputy leader of the Labour Party and, Barry, a special adviser who wields huge influence.
Though it goes back in time to tell the story of the characters and their relationships, it also charts the rise of New Labour between 1986 and 2012.
Crucially, Romero's latest script has plenty to say about the state of black politics in Britain today.
It draws on the real life experiences of many activists who created established black sections, which then became the Black Socialist Society and now Black Asian Minority Labour Network (BAME Labour), of which I am a current committee member.
The play is loosely based on some of the experiences of the famous four – Diane Abbott, Paul Boateng, Bernie Grant and Keith Vaz who were elected in 1987 – and also Sharon Atkin, famously deselected by Neil Kinnock for calling the Labour Party racist at a public meeting in Birmingham.
As a former Labour councillor, the play resonated on a personal level as it will with many others over the years who have lobbied, campaigned and made the case for more black councillors and MPs.
Many of us have made huge personal sacrifices as part of this process, which not many in the community understand or appreciate.
The road to elected office, particularly as a black politician, can be a lonely journey, often soul-destroying, unless you have good strong social networks and personal resilience.
Although the play's primary concern focused on the dynamics of power struggles within the Labour Party, Upper Cut is also a statement of the black experience in the 1980s and life under Thatcher.
Ironically, under David Cameron, the Tories are trying to learn the lessons of the past, and are on track to have more black MPs than all the political parties together come 2015.
Even UKIP has taken notes, and are fielding more black candidates of their own.
Yet the Labour Party, for all its good work on race relations, appears to be going backwards, and the call for an all-black shortlist is still an uncomfortable debate.
Upper Cut is a timely reminder of the need for more black MPs in safe seats – a demand from BAME Labour and the recently-formed Labour Black Network.
The play also charts of the UK's civil rights movement of which the 1980s was a crucial period .
Sadly, too many young people in the UK more easily relate to Barak Obama and the history of the American civil rights movement – perhaps a side effect of Hollywood, hip hop and a narrow history curriculum.
What is missing from school lessons is the fight against the UK's 'colour bar' as well as the history of the Windrush, which is too often a footnote with little national recognition of an event which shaped modern Britain.
For the mini baby boomers, our achievements during the 80s and 90s are also erased from public memory, particularly in all those nostalgic television programmes and books that are rewriting British history under Thatcherism and New Labour.
This is another area where Upper Cut makes an important contribution.
I hope this will inspire our politicians and community activists to write their biographies and record their experiences for the next generation to learn from.
In my view, the play lays down a fundamental challenge, which is how do we establish a new generation of black politicians who can effectively navigate both mainstream and grassroots politics?
This is one of the key differences between African Americans and ourselves. Our US counterparts are aware of the legacy of the civil rights movement yet still have their eye on the prize.
In Britain we are still finding our voice, leadership style and a united front.
Upper Cut is a great platform to generate a debate on current issues around black representation, voting, manifestos of political parties and political education.
I hope it gets more shows in London, the Midlands, the South West and the North East.
Major cities with significant African and African Caribbean demographics, such as Sheffield, Nottingham, Wolverhampton have virtually have no or very levels of black councillors and MPs.
The battle for representation continues.
Upper Cut is at Southwark Playhouse until February 7.

Did you know that October 29th is officially National Cat Day? Cats have been our friends, companions, and lap warmers for thousands of years. Their adorable faces, cute and quirky personalities, and hilarious antics are definitely something to celebrate! Read on as a local Mt. Pleasant, SC vet lists suggests some great ways to pamper Fluffy on her special day.
Kitty Furniture
We know, Fluffy certainly doesn't mind making herself comfortable on your sofa. Or chair. Or bed. Or anything else in your home, for that matter. However, our feline friends do benefit from having some kitty furniture, things that are made just for them. Consider getting your cat a new bed, kitty condo, or even a cat tower. You can also save money by going the DIY route. Look online for great ideas and step-by-step instructions
Another way to activate the purr is to give your cat a special treat. You can offer Fluffy a can of tuna or chicken in water; cooked meat, fish, or poultry without the skin, bones, or fat; or some shredded deli meat.
Photo Session
This is a great time to get some adorable pictures of your feline friend. Many cats have a knack for looking cute, then moving as soon as you reach for your camera. To catch Fluffy's attention, download a pet camera app, or use a squeaky toy.
Apparently our feline friends have some fans in the technology sector, as there are now quite a few games you can download for Fluffy to play on your phone or tablet. Test out a few, and see if your pet likes them.
Veterinary Care
While visiting us probably wouldn't be Fluffy's ideal way to spend the day, your pet will be happier and healthier with regular veterinary care. If your kitty hasn't seen the vet recently, let this be a reminder to schedule her next appointment!
Window Seat
Did you know that birdwatching is one of Fluffy's favorite activities? Even the laziest housecat will enjoy watching birds and squirrels, and daydreaming about hunting. Make your kitty a comfy window seat, where she can combine three of her favorite things: sunbathing, napping, and spying on local wildlife.
Please contact us, your Mt. Pleasant, SC animal clinic, with any questions or concerns about your cat's health or care. We're here to help!

NDPC rounds up regional consultations on dev. plan
A one-day regional consultation to solicit ideas and inputs into the 40-year development plan for the nation has been held in Accra.
It was the last in the series of regional consultations for the long-term national development agenda.
Among the participants were political parties, students, civil society organisations, non- governmental organisations, the general public and other identifiable groups, including market women, associations for the disabled, the regional house of chiefs, among others.
Prominent among the areas identified by the participants, for special attention as the development plan goes through its final formulation stages, are education, health, housing, transportation, infrastructure development, agriculture, sanitation and energy.
The national development plan was launched in August, this year, in a bid to fast track the country's development drive.
The idea of the plan was born out of the recommendations of the Constitution Review Commission of 2010.
The plan, which is expected to span between 2018 and 2058, has been segmented into 10 four-year medium-term development plans to guide successive governments in achieving the development target.
Dr. Nii Moi Thompson, Director-General of the National Development Planning Commission (NDPC), the agency spearheading the 40-year plan, said the plan was crucial to the development of the country to meet the needs of its citizens.
"The future we want and desire as a people is not guaranteed, but we can work towards it and it is a collective responsibility", he stated.
He said the problems facing the country today, in all the sectors of the economy, were due to the inability of successive governments to plan.
Dr. Thompson said it remained a mystery to many countries why Ghana's growth has been stunted though the country could boast of all the ingredients that promoted development, including human resource.
Comparing Ghana's development to South Korea, Malaysia and Singapore soon after independence, Dr. Thompson said the country had a better development rate compared to those countries, and said it was still possible to catch up with them.
He said in order to tie all governments to the plan, a legislation was being worked on to ensure it was legally binding on them, adding that the progress of the plan would be reviewed every four years to monitor the implementation of the development agenda.
The Chairman of the Commission, Professor Kwesi Botchwey, on his part, expressed optimism that the targets of the development plan would be achieved as a result of the interest shown by the Ghanaian people in the plan in their regional consultations.

Schroders Plc (LON:SDR) today reported that pre-tax profit for the three months to October have risen 14 percent on an annual basis to £148.6 million, despite net outflows of £500 million.
The firm's assets under management (AUM) had fallen 4.9 percent in the last quarter to £294.8 billion. The drop was primarily driven by a £14.6 billion loss in investment returns.
Still, net revenue for the third quarter was 0.4 percent higher year-on-year at £395.3 million, while adjusted pre-tax profit, which excludes irregular items, was up 3.2 percent at £147.5 million.
"These results reflect the resilience of our diversified business at a time of heightened market volatility," chief executive Michael Dobson said.
Investors welcomed Schroders' report, with the firm's share price gaining 0.57 percent to 3,021.00p as of 10:55 GMT, as compared with a 0.5 percent loss for the FTSE 100.
On a nine-month basis, the firm's results were markedly better, with profit up 21 percent at £438.9 million, while net inflows were up 18 percent at £8.3 billion.
Analysts attributed the discrepancy to the downbeat quarter for the stock market in general, with the FTSE 100 losing seven percent.
Bloomberg noted, however, that Schroders' results compare with Henderson Group which reported net inflows of £1.3 billion for the quarter. Henderson also logged a drop in AUM, however, "with market weakness outweighing new business gains".
As of 11:14 GMT, Thursday, 05 November, Schroders plc share price is 3,020.50p.

The Story of a Monkey and a Lion
Posted August 12, 2011on:
Okay. I can't study yet. So I was browsing through my photos and found this funny moments captured on my camera. It was around February, when Valentine's Day is around the corner and it is still cold (especially if you have no other half to cuddle with :P). So this is what happened:
On one fine (cold) day, there is a Lion who make his rare visit in front of a university full of girls. He quickly gained popularity because of his unusual cuteness and cool behavior (just look at how he sit on that thing =_=).
But then on the other side of the road there stood the Lion's old rival, Monkey. He openly flirting with girls by handing out his big business card that makes any women flattered and speechless.
Seeing that the Lion decided to face the Monkey, saying how could he done that after he helps him with his house chores the other day. His heart hurt so much he decided to leave the Monkey in confusion.
'I may have a big head but I will not betray my friend who is the biggest rival in-terms of appearance. So long Monkey, hope we will not see each other again,' said the Lion. The Monkey, left in confusion seems too confused to think. But then with the commoners support (and a bit of explanation of what the Lion said because he still confuse why the Lion being overly dramatic), he chased after the Lion.
'As much as I love the girls, I love you more my friend (plus I still need your help with my house chores). Lets not fight. I can't handle the girls alone. Lets share like old times…' said the Monkey.
So both of them make peace and continues to filling up the girls heart with their warm love.
Okay I go a bit too far here. Can't study, can't concentrate and why the hell did I do this? Well for what it's worth, it is fun making up stories with photos. The Lion is actually Mister Donut's mascot who was distributing coupons and of course, promoting their donuts. And the Monkey was… who knows? According to their school jacket, they are from Yonsei University, trying to advertise their contact number. Maybe to get girls because of the coming Valentine Day? We've seen this kind of act from other students who clearly ask the girls out by holding a big banner in front of our school… it's cute, isn't it? haha~ Seeing that, the cheeky Lion mascot trying to outshine the Monkey and they make us laugh with their spontaneous act (especially when we was so tensed about our coming exam).
It is good to laugh, isn't it? (^_^)v
Yummy Grilled Fish!
Posted August 12, 2011on:
This is our favourite grilled fish restaurant. I bet if you lived around Sinchon, or Yonsei University, or Ewha University, or even Hongdae this place is quite famous. It is near U-Plex and Hyundai shopping complex area but the thing is, I can't exactly draw the map to the restaurant. It's quite confusing because this area is full of restaurants and 술집, and the fact that this restaurant from outside doesn't look like a restaurant (unless you see the signboard above). Well I hope the picture above can help if you wanted to come here though :D
From the left is the standard 반찬 (banchan) you get if you dine in any Korean restaurant but except for the kimchi, the other two is always changing (I must be coming to the restaurant a lot to know about that). Anyway, we ordered 오징어 볶음 (spicy stir-fried squid), 생선 구이 (grilled fish) and 된장 찌개 (soy-bean paste soup).
The grilled fish is pretty much the same with other places' grilled fish, but I guess it is bigger and cheap for that size. Usually we ordered one grilled fish, 2 servings of stir-fried squid and one 찌개 (to be eaten for 4-5 persons) and it cost around 5,000-6,000 per person. Unlike other places, the soy-bean paste soup is full of clams and some sort of snails (siput sedut…?) not quite sure what it is and it is a bit spicy, I guess to make balance with the grilled fish 'fishy' taste. The grilled fish is tender and juicy, and people here ate it with soy sauce mixed with wasabi. But I like it with the spicy sauce from stir-fried squid dish. Yum~
To compliment the fish, they served cool tea and don't be surprised if they don't give you any cups for that. Instead they used some sort of bowl (that look like a normal korean rice bowl) to drink the tea. The staff look scary-looking but they are actually friendly and serve you fast enough you can't even complaint (나쁜 남자 처럼 T.T). The restaurant is full with pictures of the staff and customers which makes me feel warm enough and cozy despite the limited chairs and tables (especially during the peak hours).
There. It almost makes me feel hungry. Need to study for my final Korean Language test next week… OTL

Our Quest for the Best sometimes takes us to unexpected places. Recently, I was wandering around Whole Foods in San Antonio. My mission was to buy organic cotton balls. Cotton balls have nothing to do with food, but let me just say, those SOFT little white things would make the crustiest person feel pampered.
Getting back to food. My meanderings took me to the huge cheese department, which naturally made me think of pizza. The next thing I knew I was staring at their hot pizza case and thinking about letting Whole Foods prepare our dinner for the evening. That's when I noticed their sign about the Thursday $10 special.
Fast as a locomotive, I assessed the size of their 16″ pizzas, added up the six enormous pieces, and concluded at least 3 people could enjoy an incredible pizza for only $10 on Thursdays. My brilliant math mind calculated roughly $3.33/person, which left extra money for a trip to their unforgettable fresh salad bar.
No matter what ingredients you choose, I guarantee you will LOVE this stuff. Though each bite is robust with flavor, each ingredient is delicately distinguishable. All ingredients are found on their store shelves and the wheat pizza dough is made from scratch with organic flour.
I usually recommend a favorite of whatever I sample at the restaurants we visit. However, I have to say that choosing a favorite here is pretty challenging. Previously, the "Grilled Vegetable" pizza (fresh grilled zucchini, yellow squash, eggplant, onions, bell peppers and four cheeses) was my fav. Last night's samples crumpled my clarity and now I can't decide which ingredients I prefer. I know for sure the peppadew peppers on the pizza pictured here were especially memorable. Whole Foods provides a menu of pizza choices, but I usually buy with my eyes and order up what looks good in the hot case.
Take-out isn't necessary. If you haven't made a trip to Whole Foods, they actually have a Cafe where you can very casually "dine".
So, have a seat. Close your eyes. Imagine you're in a really cool pizza joint, and think about the flavors as you munch on your hot, healthy piece-a-pizza pie.
Going it alone? Try two pieces for $5 any day! Vegan available, too.

Ok it's not that extreme, but the Brightcove service is an extremely important service to the world of online video. I cannot confirm the exact time that their videos went offline, but it appears to be on many of their networks. Yes Discovery, G4TV, qubo, and our own player are as of this posting time all offline. Brightcove says that it knows about the issues and is working to solve them.
On Sunday, June 8, 2008 at 4:00am ET Brightcove began maintenance on its servers that was scheduled to last up to 6 hours. This may actually have some cause to the current outages.
Brightcove's Chairman and CEO Jeremy Allaire said on Brightcove's forum that there will be new updates to its service sometime in 2008.
This event brings up the point that using a third party service is actually risky business. In this web 2.0 world, at any moment a company that you or someone else depends on could go bankrupt and disappear forever. I believe there is definitely a new bubble going on, much like the dot-com bubble in the 90s. So many new companies are appearing daily and yet they aren't clearly defining and achieving ways to become a profitable company.
It is definitely cheaper in the short term to rely on a third party company to solve one's own technical problems. But remember to never put all your eggs into one basket – especially if you don't have 100% control over the basket.

What If I told you you can be a travel blogger without announcing it to the entire planet? Did I just blow your mind?
In case you're wondering how to do it, I'll provide you with some helpful suggestions.
To start off, most people don't really care if you're a travel blogger.
Screaming about your travels into their ear doesn't help much either.
When you travel and experience something new, it's normal to want to share that with the world.
But when you're marching around with a $10,000 dollar camera, a Mac-book, and a smug expression, not many people want to listen to what you have to say.
The stereotypical travel blogger is kind of like a Starbucks's Hipster.
They somehow always manage to look like they haven't showered in years.
And what's with the ripped up rucksack they carry around full of clothes and Apple products?
These travel bloggers visit other countries – don't do anything special – and use their high-tech cameras to take pictures of food.
When they get home, they write about their amazing time, upload the food pics, and hit publish.
Rinse and repeat.
But hey, at least they're not begging on the streets asking locals to support their journey around the world.
Yeah that's a thing – I saw it with my own eyes in Tokyo!
I think the official term is "Beg-Packers" and they're a disgrace.
Just my two cents, if you can't afford to travel… maybe don't travel?
Let's get back on point here.
Why are You Traveling?
Are you traveling for the sole purpose of finding content to write about?
Or do you just want something cool to share on social media?
We all have friends who travel to a city for one day, take a million pictures, and share them all over social media with hashtags like #wanderlust and #ILoveTravel.
Did you actually do anything in that city or did you just go there to take pictures?
I think traveling should be an education experience for yourself, a chance to learn something new about a different country and culture.
But most people travel just to tell their friends that they travel.
I mean, think of the Facebook likes!
Planning to be a Travel Blogger?
There are millions of travel blogs out there and most of them die out in a few months.
The main challenge you'll face when making a travel blog is making money.
Most people have no idea how to make money from blogging in general.
The easiest way is to promote something as an affiliate or offer a service.
For example, I make money online as a writer and editor, and I also promote different products as an affiliate.
Use your website as a platform to advertise something and you should be able to make some cash.
Assuming you write the kind of articles people want to read, of course.
Read this to learn more about how to bring in website traffic.
What Type of Travel Articles do People Want to Read?
The age old question.
Before writing an article, ask yourself this question: how does it help my readers?
For example, if you found yourself struggling with something in a specific country, like transportation, I would like to hear how you solved that problem.
I would also like to know what to expect when I first arrive in a country, first impressions matter.
When I arrived in Tokyo my first impressions were the cool dry weather and the stillness. But I also noticed not many signs are in English and very few menus are in English too.
Be honest.
You don't need to gush about how amazing a country is, especially if you have only been there for a couple days.
Long story short, from my experience, the type of articles people want to read are the ones that provide a solution to a problem.
In a Nutshell:
Feeling the urge to tell someone you're a travel blogger? Hold on!
Before you upload a thousand pictures to social media, take the time to ask yourself: does anyone really care?
Chances are not many people do!
And that doesn't matter.
What matters is what you learned and experienced on your own.
Good luck and I wish you the best.

P.S. Here's if you're looking for a proper web-host, I would go with this company.

A dream come true?
This month we saw the largest gross increase in the history of the market. To begin, I'll reflect on last month's sketch of what was to be expected.
I cautioned in October that it was not yet the time to sell due to Bitcoin's surge towards 10k in anticipation of Bitcoin CME futures listings. I tried to prepare for the wave which would come as a result – I wrote:
I think we'll have two waves to consider next:
Wave 1: Wave of buying leading into launch (what's happening now);
Wave 2: The rush of new money when Bitcoin products hit the major stock markets.
Right now I think wave 1 makes sense towards 250b, but to prepare for a possible second wave of buying I need to imagine how to value the market in the near term if prices continue to climb.
Bitcoin basket: makes sense at 250b (alone)
Ethereum: makes sense at 50-100b (as the "platform" of the sector)
Everything else: makes sense 50-100b (~50 promising applications)
I also wanted to be mentally prepared for a wild upward swing, so I tried to rationalize what "made sense" if prices started to run – I wrote:
Bitcoin basket: makes sense at 250b (alone)
Ethereum: makes sense at 50-100b (as the "platform" of the sector)
Everything else: makes sense 50-100b (~50 promising applications)
My mind can stretch to ~400b for this market, beyond that is speculation beyond my wildest dreams.
And now let's look at what happened in November:
The dream of $10,000 Bitcoin came true and it drove the market wild. The media coverage was global and drove record search volume for buying Bitcoin. Here is the Google search volume for "buy bitcoin" compared to "buy gold" across the last 90 days.
The activity crushed the systems again, everyone crashed or stuttered along to keep up with the activity.
The bump in search activity seemed to mark another tipping point. You can see this as a sea-change in the global trade volume which rapidly doubled – I've noted it in red in this chart of 2017:
This year we've grown from $500 million average daily trading volume to 10 billion average trading (20x). On the peaks of November 12th and 30th we saw $25 billion change hands per day. Compare this to the NASDAQ which trades $75 billion daily meaning we've reached 33% the liquidity of NASDAQ. That makes the Cryptocurrency market impossible to ignore.
However this is a global market and so we must compare to other global markets. For example, the global fiat currency market trades over 5 trillion a day and so we are only 0.5% of that market. What happens if we break 1% of FX volume? The price of the market (roughly) tracks the trading volume so it's time to think big, again.
A trillion dollar year?
I'm surprised I have to reflect on this for the second time this year but here was my 10 year goal written up in this fund's January letter:
This week I noticed my 10 year pipe dream became a conservative estimate by multiple parties in the national media. If I know anything about markets, it's that they love the predictions of rich, bald white men. Suddenly it's not a question of IF we will reach a trillion but how many trillions…
The other thing I know about markets is they like to run ahead and touch analysts predictions way before they are justified. People will say to themselves "if it's a trillion by 2020, why not buy it up now?". Rapid upward price movements are easier when you have a growing pool of buyers entering a market, and it's these new buyers I want to pause on and consider.
I believe we should think about all the people who entered the market in a bucket from late July through early November. They bought into the market around $170 billion on average, and have almost doubled their money today.
I saw evidence of the appetite of these buyers when early adopters (such as myself) took profits when the market ran way past 300 billion. I personally cashed in 15% of fund on the morning of Nov 29th to secure 6x ROI. I wanted to take the pressure off and I didn't want to hold through the first sell-off. The sell-off happened about 6 hours later and the market dropped ~50 billion from ~330 billion to ~280 billion.
I was honestly shocked that the market didn't fall back to 220 billion. Instead we only corrected 15% which is quite small for this market (where 40% drawdowns are normal). My current theory is the "new early money" was propping up the market as I saw more buying pressure than I'm used to during the last pullback. From their perspective this was the first big "dip" they've experienced and saw it as a buying opportunity. I personally heard positive Bitcoin and Ethereum chatter in the waiting line for a driver license at Service Canada last week. Word is getting out – the network effect seems to be growing another layer deep to the friends of the friends of the early adopters.
Now we need to prepare for the network of buyers to (at least) double very soon. Google trends data and waiting line small talk don't lie. While it's hard for early adopters to imagine, we have to start thinking about the near future on the 1 trillion scale.
Next I'm trying to imagine new buyers entering this market above 300 billion after seeing Bitcoin stabilize above 10k USD. These folks are looking to "double or triple" their money as the market runs to 1 trillion (and Bitcoin runs to $25,000). On the downside I'm still prepared for 200 billion to get tested. Especially if we get a post Bitcoin futures sell-off. It seems pretty clear to me that we will run upwards into 18th of December when Bitcoin futures go live and we are officially in a "post IPO" Bitcoin world – a world where the Bitcoin price is on every financial ticker/newspaper on Earth alongside the price of gold.
When considering these two moves (running to 500 billion vs. testing 200 billion) I like to following the old adage from Reminiscences of a Stock Operator: "the market tends to follow the movement of least resistance", and right now the direction of least resistance is still upwards (due to rapidly increasing supply of new buyers).
Looking ahead:
I'm doing a slight reallocation to prepare for a continued bull market. I'm thinking about about the coins in three main buckets.
- Bitcoin – The coin everyone is going crazy over right now.
- Coins new buyers will look to after getting exposed to Bitcoin (Ethereum/Litecoin)
- Coins early adopters will consolidate profits into (such as established ERC20 tokens such as Golem, Auger, Sia, OMG)
Right now I'm:
- slightly underweight bucket #1
- currently holding 50.25% Bitcoin against 56.5% market weight
- overweight #2
- currently holding 22.5% Ethereum against 13.5% market weight
- currently holding 4.8% Litecoin against 1.6% market weight
- mix of underweight/overweight #3
- slightly overweight projects such as: DGD, BAT, ZEC, NEO, GNT, EDG, GNO, SC, ZRX, PAY
I also reduced my Bitcoin Cash position to 4.5% when it hit 1700 USD. I feel like the case for Bcash is harder to make with Bitcoin about to enter the spotlight on December 18th. I'm still holding a market weighting of Bitcoin Gold.
At a high level I noticed a biased developed in the fund towards North American coins and smart money should be heavier (or at least market weighted) into Asian coins – you can see these coins correlate into two distinct price patterns. This is something I will address in a future letter.
We look ahead with the following high level allocation:
December is shaping up to be an exciting month (is there ever a dull one?) all eyes are on Dec 18th…

EEPLIANT is project funded by the European Commission's Horizon2020 programme. We wrote the proposal, which received grant funding of €2.4million, and we are the lead coordinator for the project that began in March 2015 and will run until June 2017.
The key objective of EEPLIANT is to help deliver the intended economic and environment benefits of the Energy Labelling and Ecodesign Directives by increasing the rates of compliance with them. This will be achieved through coordinating the monitoring, verification and enforcement activities of 13 Market Surveillance Authorities (MSAs) across the EU Single Market.
We designed the project to be a highly visible demonstration to all stakeholders that the marketplace is being policed – something that both the supply-side and consumers have campaigned for. It is creating capacity in MSAs where, in some cases, none existed before and it is very much improving the harmonisation of enforcement actions between MSAs in different Member States.
More information about EEPLIANT can be found here.

Fifty-two summers ago, Martin Luther King challenged our nation with these words: "Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia."
Today, some dream of placing a freedom bell on that mountain.
I have another dream today:
I have a dream that one fine day a little black boy and a little white boy will stand together side by side on top of Stone Mountain;
I have a dream that on that day they will pee together down the face of Stone Mountain;
I have a dream that their pee will flow together down the face of that mountain and stain the graven images of three men who dreamed a dream that was a nightmare;
I have a dream those graven images will dissolve away and this nation will wake from that nightmare;
I have a dream . . .

So if the truth doesn't exonerate Trump and/or his administration and

I think the truth is going to be very painful for you.

Any true-blue fan of Tony Randall who is hoping for a tell-all autobiography filled with the actor's most intimate secrets will be sadly disappointed by this book. "Which Reminds Me" is like nothing so much as a long evening with a theater nut "cursed with almost total recall." "I remember not only those (stories) in which I was personally involved, but every one I have ever heard," the author writes (or dictates, as the case may be).
This modesty is most becoming for a man of the theater, and a boon to readers. Here are classic stories on such actors' nightmares as blanking out on lines. Ethel Barrymore, in the middle of confiding a secret on stage, whispered to the other actor: "Don't move." Then she furtively slunk to the wings, got her line, and crept back, assuring her interlocutor: "It's all right, she's not around." Then there was the young method actor who refused to whisper Sir Laurence Olivier his line. "I don't work that way," he explained.
In a chapter on Hollywood, Randall reports a memo from Jack Warner to his top staff: "It's time I started thinking about the possibility of someone replacing me as the studio's head of production. I need your help. If there is any such qualified person presently working at the studio, I want him fired."

The Hateful Eight
Considering how rarely movies open with extended credit sequences anymore, Quentin Tarantino probably feels a particular amount of puffed-up pride about taking his sweet time with the credits at the start of The Hateful Eight, his fiery wild west chamber piece that's as slow a burn as anything the filmmaker has yet done. And he should feel such pride, because the opening sequence is like a little masterpiece all on its own. Fuelled by the heavily sinister bass tones of Ennio Morricone's delicious score, Tarantino sets the stage as only a master can.
We're in a white world, snow having engulfed practically everything. The silence and tranquility of the landscape is broken ever so slightly by the image of a stagecoach moving sinuously through the spaces where no visible passage exists, making its own route. Credits flash on screen for an eternity as we just watch that stagecoach advance through the snow in the background, while the foreground is dominated by a shrinking shot of a frostbitten wooden crucifix.
Robert Richardson's film photography, Morricone's music, and Tarantino's patient pacing all combine to create a beautifully haunting portrait of the wild west in winter and they set the tone for what will be a damning depiction of racial tension in microcosmic form. We can't possibly know what's yet to come at this point, but the sequence is so rich with taste and texture that it generates a sense of excitement and anticipation that is soon well rewarded.
Once the credits are done, Tarantino eases into a delectable serving of his trademark dialogue. At their best, Tarantino's words crackle and listening to The Hateful Eight's characters converse is akin to sitting by a wood-burning fire, the flames lashing out so you never get too comfortable. We close in on the stagecoach as it stops in front of a mysterious figure blocking the way. He and the three corpses he has in his possession need a ride to escape the impending blizzard, but he'll have to smooth talk his way aboard.
The man turns out to be bounty hunter Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), who once had dinner with the stagecoach's primary inhabitant, fellow bounty hunter John Ruth (Kurt Russell), who in turn is trying to transport nasty villainess Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh) to nearby town Red Rock for a proper hanging. Tarantino unveils the scene with meticulous precision, letting every inch of the conversation ooze out slowly as the movie's main themes of trust, paranoia, and racial conflict all make their first appearance.
Tarantino has made clear his dislike of John Ford in the past, but it's hard not to feel like he's consciously responding in some way to Stagecoach with the first chunk of The Hateful Eight. Maybe he's trying to parody it or maybe he's making the point that great chunks of a movie shot inside a stagecoach, the actors all cozy and crusty, shouldn't be a cinematic memory that belongs only to Ford. Who knows, really. What matters is that Tarantino has Jackson, Russell, and Leigh all stuck in that stagecoach for a good while, but he's not just spinning the coach's wheels.
There are a lot of seeds planted in this first chapter of the story, character moments and interactions that will bear fruit much later in the movie. There's even a MacGuffin that Tarantino coyly employs in a manner reminiscent of the glowing briefcase from Pulp Fiction. It's all a grand amount of oddly anxious fun even before we get to Minnie's Haberdashery, a famed one-room pit-stop where Tarantino plants his characters and adds several more. The Hateful Eight is just getting started and yet this will remain the location for the rest of the movie, a bold move for a director whose stories often involve great amounts of activity and a wide scope of geography.
Tarantino loves to take his time with a scene, but he also loves to juggle multiple narrative threads while leaping liberally through time. Setting the vast majority of his nearly three-hour western inside a one-room building leaves little space for such play, but he makes this challenge work in his favour, creating a cesspool of simmering conflict and comedy that feels endless and inescapable.
His trademark dialogue is as snappy as ever and he's gathered a delightful cast to rub together and cause some friction. Joining Jackson, Russell, and Leigh at Millie's Haberdashery are a motley crew ranging from past Tarantino favourites Tim Roth and Michael Madsen to Tarantino newbies Walton Goggins and Demian Bichir. Add in Bruce Dern as an old Confederate codger who spends his entire time in the Haberdashery sitting in a chair by the fire and you have a great group of performers capable of striking that unique Tarantino tone between dangerous and absurd.
The Hateful Eight revels in the tension and excitement of so many gun-toting strangers all holed up under a single roof and Tarantino knows that we'll question the intentions of every character long before he gives us a specific reason to do so. When the plot morphs into a whodunit, it feels like a natural progression since we've been suspecting one or more of these people from the start, only without an actual crime to suspect them of.
It's all richly comical and crazy, but Tarantino is gnawing on some blood-red thematic meat here. In this post-Civil War wasteland populated almost entirely by villains, where the innocents are relegated to a violent flashback, the ugliness of racial tensions that continue to this day is left harshly exposed. If there's someone to cheer for in this rogue's gallery, it's Jackson's Major Warren, who gets the best lines, the best moments, the best use of comeuppance, and the best performance to go with it all. His arc becomes a tale of survival and revenge, Tarantino mainstays on the thematic menu and attended to here with a viciously venomous bite.
Watching Jackson navigate the hostile territory that is this mysterious group is quite electrifying because he's at his absolute best as an actor and spewing out some of the greatest lines he's ever been given. This makes for a thrilling juxtaposition with the long drawn-out approach that has become Tarantino's trademark. When the filmmaker is on, this is where his style feels most unique. His movies buzz with visual energy and aural activity and yet they're tied tight to an inching pace in terms of plot progression because Tarantino loves to take the time to observe his characters.
It's a style that I've criticized in the past because it can feel awfully self-indulgent and ultimately unnecessary in certain situations, but The Hateful Eight boils all the conflict and themes and style down to a single significant location and as a result becomes entirely about character observation. Trying to figure out who's telling the truth and who's peddling a pack of lies is a large part of the fun, made all the more intriguing with the loud subtext of stewing racism in post-slavery America.
Everyone in the cast is tremendous, making this one of Tarantino's best ensembles to date. Jennifer Jason Leigh's wild turn has to be seen to be believed, especially in a third act where makeup maestros Howard Berger and Greg Nicotero practically transform her into a monster so that her physical appearance matches her uncaged animal attitude. It's Jackson who steals the show, though. He's often the centre of attention and he's in peak form when teasing out those juicy Tarantino monologues.
Jackson's character is the closest thing we get to a moral compass and it speaks to the movie's grim outlook that Major Marquis Warren is so intimidatingly violent in his actions. He's doling out justice, but it's clearly on his terms. The Hateful Eight climbs deep down into a pit of depravity and Tarantino lets his characters soak in it (along with some brain splatter), except even if there's little hope to be found, there's at least a sense of some wrongs being righted.
The cinematic west is rarely so wild as this and rarely so flavourful, either. Jackson's presence, Tarantino's voice, Richardson's winter wonderland imagery, and Morricone's instantly hummable score make this a chillingly haunting trip to the cinematically sumptuous past. The opening credit sequence is like a tasty little appetizer that leads into the greatly filling main course. So dig in, as long as you like it bloody. Tarantino cooks his cinema rare.

Please sign this petition, everyone has rights to express themselves and school just stops it. and i dont think this is right. and i might be getting excluded for my hair. and many other people have before because of their hair. i think it is stupid how you can't dye your hair a colour you want to without being shouted at. all i ask is for us to be able to dye our hair nothing more nothing less.
There are currently 51 signatures for this petition:
its just stupid how your not alowed dye you hair whatever colour you want, it doesnt affect your learning and it stops you from expressing yourself tbh, i love this petition its the best haha.
People should be aloud to dye their hair whatever color they want its not gonna kill any braincells by doing so also they should allow facial piercings too its just retarded what school does tbh
I think that people should be able todye their hair the colours they want, as it is their hair, they can do what they want with it and I find that no one should stop them from doing so apart from parents obviously. I find it idiotic how schools do not let pupils dye their hair because 'it interupts people's eductation' when in fact no it doesn't. Some schools allow their pupils to dye their hair how they like and even keep their piercings in, and they're fine so I don't understand why this person was going to get excluded for their hair, it's pathetic to be honest. I think it should be allowed.
School stops dying hair and wearing jewellery. Our school doesn't even have non uniform days. You can not have your ears pierced more than once in one ear.

Club Ted
"Can't afford Club Med? Join Club Ted." Fill out the form below to register your genuine appreciation
for Ted Unseth's 40+ years as Director of the Americana Classic Jazz Orchestra (ACJO). The Goal: To register at least
100 appreciators/fans who not only 'like' but 'love' a project such as this. **Make sure you leave your name
and email address so I can send you updates.
There is a handful of names that most people recognize and associate
with the History of Jazz: Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Billie Holliday; but the story of Jazz is one of epic
proportions with groundbreaking creative artists contributing masterly works of art through the Jazz idiom. For
a completely unique perspective on the Story of Jazz as told by the musicians themselves, this is the book you should
read: "Hear Me Talkin' To Ya" compiled by Nat Hentoff and Nat ShapiroIn this book, you'll find these less well-known Jazz pioneers: Fletcher
Henderson, Don Redman, Clarence Williams, Jimmie Lunceford, Luis Russell and many more. They all have fascinating stories
to tell and I've dedicated more than 40 years to the telling of these stories and others through note-for-note transcriptions
of original recordings and live! performance onstage. When conditions are right, it's
a win-win-win for everyone. But getting the conditions 'right' is problematic, to say the least. The band size
is unwieldy (12 players, 2 vocalists and myself) and the repertoire is not the typical Swing Band fare, and thus less familiar
to most. I'm trying to build a 'fan base' that will grow into a support base for future public performances. You are, of course, not obliged in any way; but I'd like you to take the time to visit the two main Websites below:
look, listen and absorb. My fascination is primarily with creative arranging techniques; but also with the players and
their unique solo contributions. I dare say that my transcriptions are 99% spot-on accurate and a true reflection of
the original recording sessions. Join me as an Associate Ambassador to Palookaville: help me hip general audiences
to these buried treasures and a broader appreciation of the Story of Jazz. Just fill out the
form and say: "I love what you're doing and I think it's worthy of wider support" or words to that effect. This
will help encourage the rest of the world to sit up and pay attention. Once given the chance to present my repertoire,
even initial skeptics walk away with a genuine appreciation of something they weren't aware of but are glad for the experience.

#DefendYourDevice to protect it from malware
April 3, 2017
Be on your guard! Malware is out there and can cause serious damage to your device. Fortunately, you don't need armour and a shield to #DefendYourDevice. Learn about the dangers of malware and how to protect yourself online.
What is malware?
Malware is malicious software that secretly infiltrates your device. It damages your device or steals personal information and money, sometimes without you even knowing. Malware can attack in various forms such as viruses, worms, spyware and Trojan horses.
Where does malware come from?
Malware can come from various online channels including emails, instant messages, and website pop-ups. Even game demos, music files, and software downloads can be malware-infected. Bluetooth or open Wi-Fi networks are other possible routes of infiltration.
How does malware affect me and my device?
Malware can do serious damage to your device and privacy by:
- Stealing personal information and putting your identity and financial information at risk.
- Taking control of your email and sending messages on your behalf.
- Reformatting your hard drive, causing you to lose all your data.
- Sending scareware pop-up messages that falsely claim your computer has a security issue.
How do I know if I've been infected by malware?
If your device is running slowly and crashing frequently, it may be infected with malware. If you are unable to open some applications or are receiving pop-up ads and spam, your device is most likely infected.
Be smart! #DefendYourDevice from malware
- Don't open or reply to emails or text messages from unknown sources.
- Download only from reputable and trusted sources.
- Be #Wise-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth when not in use.

"The early bird catches the worm - but the second mouse gets the cheese" - Jon Hammond
I don't really know why I'm up this early. Lately I've started waking up around 5am, lollygagging in bed 'til at least 5:30, maybe getting up to let the dog out by 6am. But I woke up the first time to go to the bathroom at 4:30, and then dozed off and on until the dog poked me just before five - what's up with that?
So, I'm up - not a bad thing, and actually probably a plus since there's so much to do today and tomorrow before my trip next week. I'm reading in Ephesians 1, where Paul writes that it's God's plan to bring everything together under Christ:
Because of the sacrifice of the Messiah, his blood poured out on the altar of the Cross, we're a free people--free of penalties and punishments chalked up by all our misdeeds. And not just barely free, either. Abundantly free! He thought of everything, provided for everything we could possibly need, letting us in on the plans he took such delight in making. He set it all out before us in Christ, a long-range plan in which everything would be brought together and summed up in him, everything in deepest heaven, everything on planet earth. (Eph. 1:7-10, msg)So much of our world seems to be falling apart, and so much time & effort is put into separating the right side from the wrong side. What will we do when we find out that God's plan has been to bring us all together? How would we as Christians impact the world around us if we stopped pointing fingers of condemnation and started living out this plan that God's already got on the table? The Law has its place, but it's not our job to judge as much as it's our opportunity to show others that we've messed up, too; that we've broken His commands and have still been forgiven in Christ. We're to show the world around us what it's like to love each other, to enjoy each other, to forgive and encourage each other. Whether we're up for the worm, or laying around and waiting for the cheese - I just hope we're big enough to enjoy being together.

SICP exercise 1.05
Ben Bitdiddle has invented a test to determine whether the interpreter he is faced is is using applicative-order evaluation or normal-order evaluation. He defines the following two procedures:
(define (p) (p)) (define (test x y) (if (= x 0) 0 y))
and a test expression:
(test 0 (p))
What behavior will Ben observe with an applicative-order interpreter? With a normal-order interpreter?
(Assume that the evaluation rule for the special form if is the same regardless of the interpreter's evaluation order: the predicate expression is evaluated first, and the result determines whether to evaluate the consequent or the alternative expression.)
When evaluating a combination, an applicative-order interpreter evaluates the combination's operands and operators before applying the resulting procedure (operator) to the resulting arguments (operands). A normal-order interpreter, on the other hand, only evaluates an operand when the procedure requires its value.
In the test expression (test 0 (p)), note that the 2nd operand, (p), is a combination. To evaluate this operand, the interpreter must invoke the procedure named by p. But the result of evaluating (p) is another combination (p), and so on, ad infinitum. In other words, if the interpreter attempts to evaluate the 2nd operand of the test expression, it will never produce a value.
An applicative-order interpreter will attempt to evaluate the 2nd operand of the combination (test 0 (p)) when that expression is evaluated, so this interpreter will enter an infinite loop and never produce a value for the test expression.
A normal-order interpreter does not immediately evaluate the 2nd operand of the combination (test 0 (p)) when that expression is evaluated, because its value is not required to expand the expression. The test expression will first evaluate to:
(if (= x 0) 0 y)
This expression is an if expression. if is a special form, one which evaluates its predicate before choosing to evaluate either its consequent or its alternative. In this case, the if's predicate is (= x 0), so the interpreter must now evaluate x in order to determine the value of the predicate. Note, however, that it does not yet need to evaluate y (the if expression's alternative) because that value is not yet needed.
x in this context is the first formal parameter of the procedure test, which is currently bound to the value 0; so the if expression now evaluates to
(if (= 0 0) 0 y)
Since the predicate's value is true, the if expression now needs the value of its consequent, which is 0, and this is the value returned by procedure test. So a normal-order interpreter will produce the value 0 when asked to evaluate the expression (test 0 (p)), because the interpreter never needs the value of the 2nd argument, (p).

Hong Kong workers in the mainland are losing their competitive edge over their local counterparts, whose skills have improved despite lower salaries, the Hong Kong Economic Journal reported Wednesday.
Mainland workers are now able to perform tasks previously given to Hongkongers and have become more familiar with local working conditions, the report said, citing entrepreneur Sum Wing-nin.
Certain lower to middle positions have been filled with trained local workers, although managerial and administrative jobs are still dominated by Hong Kong professionals, according to a 2010 survey by the Hong Kong Census and Statistics Department.
This came roughly a decade after Hong Kong workers began leaving home to work in the mainland.
China has produced 7.27 million university graduates this year, according to official data.
More than 120 million people have a college education or above, 8.9 percent of the population in 2010, up from 2.9 percent in 2000.
These graduates, together with those returning from overseas, are exerting competitive pressure on workers from Hong Kong, the report said.
Mainland graduates have a level of education comparable to those of their Hong Kong counterparts, David Zweig, a senior academic from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, was quoted as saying.
The number of Hong Kong workers in the mainland rose to 157,000 in the 10 years to 1998 from 52,000, Hong Kong Census and Statistics Department data shows.
The figure peaked at 244,000 in 2004, a year after SARS caused a severe economic downturn in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong entrepreneurs have been ramping up investment in the mainland, driven by a rising yuan.
Sum is one of them, beginning with a computer business in 1998 before expanding into the property sector.
Sum said the mainland has an even bigger potential now than 10 years ago, with people able to buy their own home unlike most of their counterparts in Hong Kong.

Reviewed for this blog by Rebecca, Case Memorial Library
A dazzling blend of historical fiction, magic realism, and Norwegian folktales, West of the Moon is the story of Astri, a 13-year-old goat girl with loads of gumption. After her mother dies and her father leaves for America, Astri is sold by her greedy aunt and uncle to the loathsome goatherd, Svaalberd, separating her from her beloved younger sister Greta. Threatened with a trip to the altar, she decides it is time to take matters into her own hands. Along with the mysterious "Spinning Girl," she escapes Svaalberd, rescues her sister, and makes her way to America.
Astri is a fierce and tremendously likeable character, despite the fact that she lies, cheat, steals, and maims to get to America. In fact, none of the characters are wholly good or bad (even the nasty, lecherous goatherd!) and there is a constant questioning of morality that ties in nicely with the fairytale aspect.
This story is less than 200 pages but it feels much longer – in a good way – due to the vivid sensory details and fast-paced action. Preus effortlessly weaves together Astri's fictional adventure with folktales as well stories from her own great-great grandmother's diary entries. The result is a rich, engaging, and suspenseful story from start to finish.
Overall, I think this is a beautiful book worthy of all five stars it's received. However, aside from a very brief threat at sexual violence, I think the subject matter and voice skew too young to be considered a Printz contender. I'm willing to bet this will receive some Newbery attention.
