We all know that Steven Spielberg's JAWS is the best shark movie ever made. That's the one all others are judged against. But what's the second best? I'd like to posit that the answer to that question is 47 METERS DOWN. Let's be clear about something – Spielberg's film is a work of art, whereas the one directed by Johannes Roberts is exploitation schlock. That said, the Roberts picture has a couple elements that help it rise above your SHARKNADOs and your DEEP BLUE SEAs and your SHARK NIGHT 3Ds. Sure, it's schlock, but it's darn fine schlock!
In case you haven't seen it, the story concerns two sisters, Lisa (Mandy Moore) and Kate (Claire Holt). Lisa was supposed to vacation in Mexico with her boyfriend, but they broke up, so she brought Kate with her instead. They get the bright idea to go cage diving in order to see some sharks up close. While submerged, the boat's winch breaks, sending them to the ocean floor. How far down are they? If you said "47 meters" then, duh, it's right there in the title.
The thing about most shark movies is that there's usually some kind of "escape" for the characters. As soon as they get out of the water, they're safe. In JAWS, Roy Scheider calls everyone out of the ocean. Only those who stay in get chomped. In THE SHALLOWS, Blake Lively climbs up on a rock where the shark can't get her. By comparison, 47 METERS DOWN offers no escape. Lisa and Kate are at the bottom of the ocean in a busted cage. They have nowhere safe to go in order to get away from the sharks. The women are stuck, with no refuge. Realizing this gives the movie an immediate edge because you know their chances of survival have dropped precipitously.
Such a twist would, on its own, be enough to distinguish 47 METERS DOWN from other shark thrillers, but there's a second ingenious twist. This movie offers two potentially fatal demises for its characters. Obviously, they stand to become shark food. If they can somehow avoid getting eaten, though, they risk running out of oxygen when their tanks empty. This complication gives the story a ticking clock quality that makes you bite your fingernails clean off. Can they somehow dodge the sharks long enough for a rescue team to bring them back up before they can no longer breathe? Between these two perils, the survival odds drop yet again, to virtually less than zero.
Part of the movie's beauty is that it forces you to think about which of those two ways you'd rather go. I know what my answer would be, and it's not suffocation. If you died from lack of oxygen, people would only discuss how tragic and unpleasant your death must have been. Expire the other way and they'd tacitly acknowledge that there was something badass about how you met your demise. "They got eaten by a freakin' shark!"
47 METERS DOWN is not as artful as JAWS. Nevertheless, it presents you with sisters who are in a dire situation from which there is no easy escape, and they are facing two deeply horrific fates. The movie doesn't need artfulness when it has the ability to drive you nuts by mentally putting yourself in their shoes (or, more accurately, flippers). From start to finish, 47 METERS DOWN conjures up a feeling of dread that overtakes you. With the majority of shark movies, you know the heroes are probably going to survive at the end. In this case, you're pretty certain both women will end up dead.
Even people who like the movie admit that it should have ended a minute sooner. That would have given the audience a nihilistic gut punch. Instead, there's a coda that offers at least a semi-happy ending. It's not completely happy, but neither is it as dark and disturbing as the story clearly wants to be. You can easily rectify the problem by shutting it off with 60 seconds to go. Then again, maybe Roberts thought it needed a small ray of light after so much unrelenting bleakness.
It's doubtful that anyone will ever top JAWS as the best shark movie, which is okay. 47 METERS DOWN does its own thing, and it brings something special to this particular sub-genre of horror. Johannes Roberts has made the first great shark attack flick of the 21st century, as well as one that deserves to be held in high esteem by fans of cinematic exploitation.

Residents of Manchester are being urged to do their bit to help improve children's literacy across Greater Manchester.
A campaign called 'Gift Of Books' is aiming to get the printed word into the hands of children who have never owned a book – and donations are open in Manchester NOW.
People can simply drop off their favourite childhood book at Summerville Primary School in Salford and it will be given to a child who needs it.
The campaign was launched following research from The National Literacy Trust earlier this year that revealed 40,000 schoolchildren throughout Greater Manchester aren't fortunate to own a single book of their own.
12 collection points are currently accepting donations across the region, allowing local book lovers to share their love of the printed word.
The donated books will then be redistributed to children across the region who attend schools identified by the National Literacy Trust as being in deprived areas where low levels of literacy are seriously impacting on people's lives.
Books have already started to be redistributed to the children at these schools across Greater Manchester, including Crossacers Primary School, Barlow Hall Primary School and Gorse Hill Primary School.
The initiative is a joint partnership between Stockport business cartridgesave.co.uk and the National Literacy Trust.
To take part, visit https://www.cartridgesave.co.u
Schools, local groups and community centres in Manchester can also register as a collection point by filling in the sign-up form.
Ian Cowley, managing director of campaign organisers, cartridgesave.co.uk explains: "We are looking to change the future of school children in Greater Manchester one book at a time by calling on the surrounding areas of the city to help us donate as many books as possible.
"It is simply wrong that in 2018 so many children have don't own a single book, a clear sign of imbalance in our society. This spring we hope that the simple act of sharing the book that made a difference to your childhood, will make a critical difference in the lives of the most disadvantaged."
How donating a book will make a difference: five key facts
1. One in eight of the most disadvantaged children in Greater Manchester say they don't have a book of their own at home.
2. In England the median hourly wage of workers with the highest levels of literacy is 94 per cent higher than for workers who have the lowest levels of literacy.
3. Reading for pleasure is more important for children's cognitive development than their parents' level of education and is a more powerful factor in life achievement than socio-economic background.
4. Low levels of literacy cost the UK an estimated £81 billion a year in lost earnings and increased welfare spending impacting on the economy as a whole.'
5. Literacy has been found to have a relationship with depression. 36 per cent of those with low literacy were found to have depressive symptoms, compared to 20 per cent of those with the highest levels of literacy.
Director of the National Literacy Trust Jonathan Douglas says: "The "Gift of Books" campaign is an absolutely brilliant way to encourage children in Greater Manchester to fall in love with reading. It will really help to ensure the next generation are better equipped to tackle education, work and life."

A Quick Guide to Common Issues With GuttersJun 25, 2019
Having an idea of the common issues that afflict gutter systems can help you prevent them from worsening. Quality Home Exteriors, your go-to company for home exterior siding in the state, lists them below.
Clogged Gutters
This is perhaps the most common issue faced by homeowners. If your gutters aren't cleaned regularly, foliage and other debris might accumulate in them and cause rainwater to overflow. This, in turn, may cause rainwater to spill onto parts of your roof and lead to widespread moisture damage to other parts of the house.
Sagging Gutters
Debris clogging your gutters can also be a culprit of another common problem—sagging gutters. The combined weight of the debris and rainwater may loosen some of the mounting hardware and cause the gutters to sag. Left unattended, the burden of the added weight may cause parts of your gutter system to fall off and damage the fascia board, which your gutters are attached to. The resulting damage may even require a residential roof replacement.
Corroded Gutters
Not regularly cleaning your gutters leads to another problem—corroded gutters. Rust will inevitably form on your gutter and corrode its metal surface over time, leaving room for leaks to happen.
The life span of your gutter system usually depends on the acidity and alkalinity of rainwater. However, infrequent cleaning can speed up the corrosion process. In particular, you need to be wary of dirt, chloride and sulfate deposits, as these can cause atmospheric corrosion.
Shingle Overhang
Sometimes, your shingles block part of your gutter's opening, impeding their ability to efficiently divert rainwater away from your roof. It also increases the risk of damage to your shingles. This type of problem usually stems from installation issues.
To head off gutter problems, only hire qualified and reputable contractors. Quality Home Exteriors offers gutter system and insulated siding system installation services. We've been included in Remodeling Magazine's Top 550 and Qualified Remodeler's Top 500 companies. To set up an appointment, call (402) 401-4505 or fill out this form. We serve homeowners in Omaha, NE, and Kansas City, MO.

Dear Miriam MY best friend phoned last week to ask if I'd mind if she went out on a date with my ex-boyfriend.
She caught me off guard and I said she could do whatever she liked - but I do mind a lot and I don't understand why.
I went out with him for 10 months and he was the one who decided to break up. That was more than a year ago and I have a great new boyfriend.
However, the thought of my ex kissing her and having sex with her makes me weirdly uncomfortable and jealous.
She will feel his naked body close to her and he will touch and fondle her in the way he did to me.
I really believed I was over him but now I'm not so sure. I even thought of sending him a secret Valentine. What's wrong with me?
YOU have moved on since the break-up but this doesn't mean every ounce of feeling you had for him is dead and buried.
If you hadn't had sex with him, or you'd only dated for a short while, it might have been easier to take but you have a long history together and that's why it's so uncomfortable.
You know she's going to see him at his best and have experiences with him that you enjoyed before it all went wrong between you.
You may also be anxious he'll compare the two of you and you feel upset because you know them both so well.
You need to be honest with yourself and your friend, who must have great respect and concern for you as she rang to ask if you mind her seeing your ex.
Show her similar respect and resist the temptation to muddy the waters with a Valentine which is likely to cause trouble.
You may not really have a right to tell her not to see him but, for the sake of the friendship, she needs to know you gave your decision too hastily and you're not cool about this.
Even so, tell her you realize you can't dictate to her and, if she does decide to go out with him, you'll find a way to be OK with it. Say you're also open to any of her suggestions on ways to make this go more smoothly.

That very day in the woods they were eating their lunch then they heard tiny little voices behind a tree and when they peeked around the corner there were tiny little elfs. They also saw this little man that whose reaching for the bag next to an elf and as he was reaching Joe yelled " STOP THIEF " and the elfs ran for the man and tackled the little man and picked up the bag that was on the ground.
Two weeks after they saw the elfs they went back to the woods and went up the faraway tree and went to the top with their new friend Moon-Face, Sauce Man and Silky where they were waiting For Joe, Beth and Frannie for Beth's birthday .

Duchess Kate's Morning Sickness Cure? Paddington Bear!
Duchess Kate has been battling morning sickness now that she's expecting baby número tres, and I'm sure the Queen's sunrise gin fumes aren't helping matters. But that didn't keep her from pulling a Nicole Kidman and getting personal with another dude in front of her man at Paddington Station this morning!
People reports Kate, Prince William, and Prince Harry made a surprise appearance at the London train station with the cast of Paddington 2 for a children's charity event. Kate has had to pull out of several public appearances because of her sickness, but it's hard to pass up a good bear (wink wink), so she showed up to the platform. Back in the day, Princess Diana turned heads and slayed our hearts when she danced at the White House with John Travolta. Considering she wears the People's Princess's ring, Kate has a reputation to uphold and so she also danced with a big bear.
Watch: Dancing queen? Kate is taken for a dance by Paddington bear before she waves off a vintage train pic.twitter.com/sfxqwUg089
— Simon Perry (@SPerryPeoplemag) October 16, 2017
Kate did a little do-si-do with the bear before he twirled her around and the whole thing was over. In my head, Kate then looked at her husband and said, "Next time you touch a Swiss piece's waist, just remember: I'm not above furry play."

"The God Pocket" is an interesting take on giving when prompted by the Spirit. I think it offers up some neat ideas, and really opens up our charitable giving to God's demand. The book proposes putting aside a certain amount of money, to be given to people when you feel the prodding of the Spirit. Putting the money aside ahead of time is a good idea, as it emotionally detaches us from thinking it's ours to spend. I think in the current economic times, it might be hard for people to be able to set extra money aside to do this, as most people are living paycheck to paycheck. But, I think that for those who can, they could really help bring someone closer to God through their finances. A small action, such as giving a struggling family a small amount of money, can show them that God cares, and is reaching out to them. I liked the whole premise of the book, and think that it was interesting. I would give this book a 3/5.

Locked Keys in Trunk Kitchener, Ontario – 519 Locksmith Kitchener
Only Happy Customers – EASY and AFFORDABLE
24/7 Emergency Residential Locksmith – 226-243-7803
It is a big problem and inconvenience for one to lock his or her car keys in the trunk. It is such a horrible situation. Some people who have never experienced this before would think it's a problem that could be solved easily. From experience, getting keys out trapped in the trunk is not as easy as some people think. In fact, it could put you in a serious state of confusion and worry. Whenever you mistakenly lock your keys in the trunk, do the following:
Contact Specialized Automobile Locksmiths
When you close your truck with your keys trapped in it, calling a few locksmiths that specialize in breaking into trunks is the first step to take. It is easier for a regular locksmith to open a locked car, but it is a different game with the trunk. This is because the trunk is actually designed in such a way that thieves would find it difficult to break into. Hence, you need to do the following when trying to break into your car.
If you have a smartphone, use it to search for nearby locksmiths. Call a few you're able to find to know their prices and times. This must be done first and fast. If you later got another solution, call the locksmiths back and cancel your bargain, but the most important thing is for you to take action.
24 Hour – Locked Keys in Trunk Kitchener
Most locksmiths give a very low price which could be between $15-20 for their service. However, have it at the back of your mind that this fee is just for unlocking your car. So you'd be paying more—like $35 or more—to unlock the trunk. Ask the locksmiths for a more realistic time to get to your location. Some locksmiths would give you like 15 minutes, but they will only appear after 2 hours.
Make sure you tell the dispatcher to inform the technician that your keys are trapped in the trunk. You will trigger the alarm of your car if you break into it and the electrical system of the car would shut down, affecting the trunk and cAusing a big problem for the technician. The technician will need to use many tools including a snake camera to break into the trunk. Therefore, remind the technician of the situation you're in whenever he or she arrives.
Don't be 100 percent confident that the technician will be able to solve your problem. Yes, he or she may not be able to unlock the truck. This is because car manufacturers have really made the trunk to be highly secured. The back seats' release levers are inside the trunk, and the battery protects the truck release. So if the technician is unable to open the trunk, move to the stage two.

Cooking for the holidays is a challenge, but it does not have to be overwhelming. With a little help from Google Assistant and Google Home ($ 1
And if you're ready to cook, Google Home can help here as well.
Decide What You Cook
The search is Google's bread. Take advantage of this sophisticated ability by asking the Google Assistant to track tempting vacation recipes. Of course you can do this with a smart Google Home speaker, but also with the Google Assistant app on your Android phone, iPhone ($ 1,157 at Amazon Marketplace) and iPad ($ 380 at Amazon) .
Start your search by saying "Hey google, find holiday recipes" or something similar. The wizard will display your results. In my case, three stood out. The first was deep-fried turkey with a kind of Southern maturity – I know full decadence.
I also noticed a filling with apple and sage for one side. Finally, I discovered instructions on how to raise festive sage gin cocktails. Delicious
Creating a Shopping List
Before you commit to cooking, confirm that you have all the ingredients you need. Do this by matching your recipes with the actual items or in the kitchen pantry. Make note of missing items. Next, ask the Google Assistant to add these supplies to your shopping list.
Just say "Hey google, add 15 to 18 pounds of fresh turkey to my grocery list." The same goes for all the other staple foods you need – peanut oil, paprika, what do you have? You can find this list in the Google Home app at Account> Settings> Services> Shopping List .
. Collect your ingredients
. Google Assistant can buy items on your shopping list – you need to configure it first.
Go to Account> Settings> Payments in the Google Home app. There you can confirm your delivery address, payment information and Google Assistant for payment on your behalf. The purchases are powered by the Google Shopping Platform and handled by many third party vendors such as Walmart, Target and Whole Foods.
Ready, cook!
Are you ready to cook? Google Assistant can help here too. Several recipes websites are official Google partners that provide step-by-step cooking instructions. This is done in the form of a verbal tutorial (on Google Home speakers) or as a visual prompt (on Google Smart Displays).
If a recipe found by Google Assistant (on your phone) comes from a partner site, you'll see a tab below that says "Send to Smart Display." If you do, the selected recipe will be moved to a compatible device in your home.
You should now see your recipe and how to prepare for it on the screen of your Google Home Hub ($ 149 on Google Store) . , Lenovo Smart Display or a similar Google Smart Display product. Learn more about cooking with the Google Home Hub in the gallery below.

"The Thing have all sorts of insulting terms for us. They call us a cult, a corruption, an internet. We call ourselves Memorialists. If nothing else, we are the ones, in this ruined place, who can recite the names of the dead."
This dystopian future is depicted in Hari Kunzru`s novella "Memory Palace" and has been transformed into an exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum running until October 20th. Kunzru's story unfolds in a non-linear way by focusing on the memory of its protagonist who has been imprisoned for being a member of "The Memorialists". The V&A commissioned over 20 graphic artists to create a walk-in story by choosing a passage of Kunzru`s book and transforming his text into a work of visual art.
© Victoria and Albert Museum, London
The result is "Sky Arts Ignition: Memory Palace" at the V&A, an astonishing attempt to cross the boundaries between literature and art by transferring words into images. Visitors of the exhibition can experience a wide range of illustration techniques. Some of the artworks exhibited inside this walk-in story are as haunting as the novel that inspired them.
For example Némo Tral's installation of the dead city ruins gives a first glimpse of the dystopia the novel`s protagonist grew up in. His visualisation of an overgrown future London is striking and disturbing at the same time.

German illustrator and graphic designer Henning Wagenbreth takes the exhibition to another level with his brightly coloured tower constructed from wooden blocks. Onto these blocks he has painted images and words. We can read them, but do we understand their meaning? Wagenbreth`s tower seems to be a semiotic system on its own and succeeds in echoing one of Kunzru`s basic themes: the construction and deconstruction of knowledge.

Johnny Kelly gives the exhibition an interactive finale by allowing visitors to contribute one of their own memories through a new web-based drawing app to a digital Memory Bank – like the story`s main character who in the end is allowed to add one of his personal memories to be remembered for future generations.
The exhibition brings together an illustrious crowd of graphic artists who all try to create a meaningful and artistic interpretation of the storyline. Does the concept of transforming literature into art work? It does in some ways, although after seeing "Sky Arts Ignition: Memory Palace" you instantly want to read Kunzru`s story to get a better understanding of its themes.

Almost everyone has heard of a story about someone walking into their apartment and realizing they've been robbed. But have you ever heard of a story where they stole the bed, the curtains and everything in between? Well that's what Upper East Side resident, Nilay Shroff, is claiming he experienced in October 2013, when he found his apartment stripped of almost everything in an apparent "mistaken robbery."
Mr. Shroff, a 27-year-old software maker alleged that late one night in October 2013, he entered his Yorkville apartment to find the shock of a life time; almost everything was gone. Once police arrived, Shroff and the officers became suspicious of the incident since the apartment burglary did not fit the details of a usual occurrence in multiple ways.

Hotspot Shield makes enormous cases about the execution of its Sling Hydra convention, however, does it satisfy the publicity? We looked at the administration with Netflix' Quick, Speedtest and different sites to discover.
Interfacing with our closest UK area returned rates of around 68 to 69Mbps, everything we could anticipate from our 75Mbps fiber broadband test line. On the off chance that your association is quicker there's a decent possibility you'll get more.
Associating with the US saw our download speeds fall and turn out to be eminently less predictable, with execution running from 42 to 60Mbps.
Strangely, the more removed servers ended up being quicker. Brazil, India, Japan, and Singapore all basically maximized our association with velocities of up to 69Mbps. Australia couldn't exactly coordinate that, yet at the same time found the middle value of 55Mbps with nothing lower than 50Mbps, a superb execution by any benchmarks.
We're uncertain why the US gave us the most reduced download speeds - appeal, possibly - however actually even they were great, and the execution somewhere else was stellar. On the off chance that you plan to consistently associate with far-off servers, Hotspot Shield might conceivably be extraordinary compared to other VPNs around.
Understanding a VPN's security, as a rule, begins by taking a gander at its convention support, encryption and verification points of interest. This can be massively muddled, yet simply observing that an administration bolsters a safe convention like OpenVPN can give you consoling input about its security.
Hotspot Shield is harder to evaluate, on the grounds that it doesn't bolster OpenVPN, or IKEv2, or L2TP/IPSec, or any of the other standard VPN conventions. Rather it utilizes its own restrictive Sling Hydra innovation.
This isn't as stressing as it may sound. Launch Hydra's emphasis is on enhancing execution, and the encryption side of the convention utilizes many indistinguishable norms from every other person.
For instance, the Hotspot Shield site reports that Sling Hydra depends on TLS (Transport Layer Security] 1.2, with AES-128 encryption, 2048-piece RSA testaments for server validation and keys traded through Elliptic Bend Diffie-Hellman (ECDHE) for flawless forward mystery (keys keep going for just a single session, with new ones created next time.)
One issue with restrictive advancements like Launch Hydra is there's no simple method to perceive what else is going on. OpenVPN is open source and any engineer can take a gander at the code, make sense of how it works, maybe discover issues or propose upgrades, something which isn't conceivable here.
That doesn't mean you should accept Hotspot Shield's cases completely based on previous experience, however. The organization brings up that Launch Hydra is utilized by 'the larger part of extensive cybersecurity organizations that offer VPN administrations from inside their applications, for example, McAfee, Bitdefender, Cheetah Versatile and numerous others.' what's more, 'transporters, for example, Telefonica and KDDI additionally utilize Sling Hydra to give VPN administrations and Wi-Fi security to their clients.'
Accordingly, however, the code isn't openly accessible, that doesn't mean its usefulness hasn't been checked on. These corporate clients need to comprehend Launch Hydra to appropriately actualize it themselves, and Hotspot Shield says the convention has been 'assessed by outsider security specialists from over 60% of the world's biggest security organizations that utilization our SDK to give VPN administrations to their clients.'
Protection isn't just about the low-level details. Customer usage is additionally vital, particularly with regards to blocking DNS and WebRTC spills which may give away your genuine personality. Luckily, testing Hotspot Shield's customers and program connections at ipleak.net and dnsleaktest.com didn't uncover any issues, with the administration shielding us from snoopers consistently.
Your IP address could likewise spill if the VPN association all of a sudden drops, from a certain perspective. Some of Hotspot Shield's applications incorporate an off button to keep this by closing down your web until the point when the VPN is back up, however, does this truly work?
We ran some snappy tests on the Windows customer and discovered it by and largely adapted exceptionally well. In the event that the association dropped, the customer alarmed clients very quickly and attempted to reconnect. Indeed, even with the off button killed, our IP address was uncovered for commonly close to several seconds. When we turned the off button on, our IP address wasn't unmistakable in any way.

Stockpicking in a bear market 14 comments
(P.S: Sorry for any disturbances the advertisements above may have caused you)
Stockpicking in a bear market can be a hazardous business, because going long in deflationary conditions is by definition an attempt to pick a bottom (whether intermediate bottom or long-term bottom) on the stock price. It is easy to be bloodied by the falling knife, especially if one attempts to catch it naked (eg. contra, no ability to hold). One could thus simply choose to avoid risk and not hold stocks altogether, which is the reason why we have a bear market at all --- risk aversion leads to lower volumes and the stock prices drop by gravity due to lack of support. But yet, if we define risk as the potential loss on investment over say 3-5 years, rather than the standard textbook definition of price volatility which I have always maintained is more appropriate for short-term leveraged players than for long-term investors (see my article on risk), then buying stocks during a bear market could be a low-risk proposition indeed (because you are buying at a lower base and hence risk of losing is lessened over the long term), assuming that the bear cycle reverses in several years.
I feel that a good model for picking stocks in a bear market would be to examine the cash bailout potential of a stock over the medium to long term. I build my ideas based on the "cash bailout" concept as espoused by Martin Whitman in his book "The Aggressive Conservative Investor", which was written in the late 1970s when stagflation gripped the US. The general idea is to view a stock with regard to its potential to allow the holder to eventually bail out; under this umbrella of "cash bailouts", selling in the open market for capital gains is but one of the bailout exits; other potential exits include dividends and privatisation.
This way of viewing a stock is especially useful in a bear market where most small-cap stocks may be thinly-traded and selling out of them may be difficult. Yet, illiquid small-caps often offer the best potential gains. I adopt a two-horizon approach to picking these stocks in a bear market.
The two horizons refer to the medium-term horizon (6-12 months) and the long-term horizon (3-5 years). Under each of these horizons, I examine the cash bailout potential of the stock. For the medium term, I naturally demand lower potential returns as opposed to the long-term horizon.
Under the medium-term horizon, two main factors to look out for are privatisation potential and dividend yield. These are the two main cash bailout avenues in a recession/bear market where liquidity and capital gains opportunities might be limited. Dividend streams tend to be more easily predictable especially for older companies, and high dividends, perhaps in excess of 5-10% yield, would be a good clearing mark for potential stockpicks. Privatisation potential is harder to judge, but on top of the usual "good earnings/business" criteria, I would expect that tight ownership under a strong cash-rich owner, an operating niche or desirable brand name and steady free cashflows (operating cashflow minus investing cashflow) would attract potential privatisation offers from parties such as the main shareholder, business competitors or private equity funds.
Under the long-term horizon, capital gains look like a more viable, and probably the most profitable, cash bailout avenue. This is of course the preferred bailout avenue of the long-term growth investor. Two main issues must be considered with respect to stockpicking for this horizon: firstly, how many times can the stock price appreciate; secondly, can the company's fundamentals survive the recession unblemished. For the former, I would consider that if one is targeting 3-5 years down the road, he should be picking a stock with the potential to be at least a 4-5 times multibagging potential. That would translate to about 30-40% annualized gains --- quite ambitious but nonetheless a good way to filter out the real bargains among the many cheap pennies floating around in a bear market. Of course, the devil is in the details: the judgment of appreciation potential is critical and clearly the selected stock might not fulfil its hoped-for potential. For the second issue, it boils down to an examination of the company's accounts and operating business. I would say that the balance sheet (complete with footnotes) is the single most important source of information to make the judgment. Things to look out for would be heavy debt, contingent liabilities (under footnotes), consistently negative operating cashflows and insider selling. As Warren Buffett says about car racing, to finish first, you must first finish.
Ideally the selected stock would be satisfactory on all counts, both medium-term and long-term. But it may be difficult to find one that has multi-bagger potential and yet has clear indications of being taken over, say. Or it might pay miserly dividends. In my view, the dividends and the fundamental strength of the business to negotiate through the recession override the other two factors in terms of importance. Ultimately, they are the ones that are most easily judged from current and past data, can be judged objectively, and provide a clear operating basis to fall back on should privatisation or capital appreciation not work out. In short, they provide a floor for the stock price. Look out for these two parameters most of all.

I feel like I'm surrounded by a bunch of looney tunes,
With their faces squint up as if they'd eaten bitter prunes,
Then madness surrounds me it seems each and everyday,
And no one is feeling happy unless they're having their own way.
Must it be so hard to come together to get it all done?
For the pressure from all this mess inside bears the weight of several tons,
And my shoulders are weakening so I can't carry much more,
Because your venom is so poisonous, it breaks down to the core.
Negativity is so thick in the people that come around me,
Transferring quickly from body to body making it difficult to see,
Until it jumps off them upon you to take your breath away,
As you fight to break free in silence because invisibility stands in the way.
I've got to get away from the chaos that's quite difficult to escape,
And I've got to leave this web of destruction for good ole sanity's sake,
For the world in which we live today, no words can fully describe,
Yet we must journey along each God giving day, doing our best to live and survive!

Cover 'Pities to Pleasant' Journey Faster In Finances with Payday
The last minute, in fact, the very last minute remains and you are still struggling to arrange funds? Such situations are unbearable and one cannot handle it without a sudden and timely backup. Savings are the most urgent support in a financial crisis but a multiplicity of obligations leaves less possibility to save sufficiently. Not to mention the coming 29 March is already showing its impact in the market as industries are eagerly waiting for the FINAL DECISION on Brexit. The previous days that were the 'cost of living crisis' victim, express concern for the future too.
Now what? Help from near and dear ones, who are already on the struggle in their finances? Besides, it is difficult to handle the embarrassment as when you ask for financial help you are giving a clear idea about your situation. Then people make a perception and you have to carry the burden of that judgemental thinking. No, it is perhaps better to do some arrangement on your own. Maybe you are not unfamiliar with the guaranteed payday loans for bad credit by direct lenders. At least the term 'payday' is not unknown to you as its online version through FinTech has entered in financial lives of people.
When it comes to super urgent needs, payday loans become advisable. Despite the fact that the interest rates are high, one cannot avoid their rescuer image. Besides, the payday loan industry is going through several unprecedented reforms that give you reasons to take a sigh of relief.
2 Important Tips for Smart Decision On Payday –
The solution is available but everything has its dos and don'ts and payday loans are not the exception. Haste to arrange funds should not make you take the wrong decision. Below are some tips workable to choose a perfect loan deal.
'How Much You CAN Borrow VS How Much You SHOULD Borrow'
Every loan product has a minimum and maximum amount limit. If you go for the minimum, not an issue, but certainly a need, to be on your toes exists if you want to borrow more. Payday loans are instant enough to send money in your bank account in just 10 minutes. This is an exciting feature but in the hurry to get money, do not forget to focus on the precise amount you need.
It is natural to feel the urge to borrow more in the expectation (to be actual) greed of the future use of the money. But hey! Very next payday is your date to pay off the whole loan amount with interest. The best rule to control yourself is – don't see how much you CAN take but see how much you SHOULD take.
The current crisis of money gets over with time, remember to not to create further chaos for that in the coming months. Lighter the repayments, better the budgetary balance of coming days.
Bad Credit? Income Status Should Show the Commitment for Repayments
Keep a good current income status and borrow funds with no wastage of time. The next generation of online lending finds its synonym in specialized lending. Several to many lenders provide funds precisely to bad credit borrowers. Their loan products are more like tools that help people repair their ruined finances and come out from a bad credit situation. This has given birth to payday bad credit loans on the instant decision with no fee. But 'there's no such thing as a free lunch', you need to fulfill an important condition.
Your current income status should be good enough to prove your creditworthiness for the repayments. It is the necessary condition to borrow funds with bad credit. If you have a good credit score, a sufficient income is fine to convince the lender for the approval.
The last thing …..
You cannot control situations that create financial turmoil but at least you should know about the backup plans. First use your savings or an alternative to tackle any money mess, if not possible, borrow funds. Financial life grows on discipline. Taking a loan is not your failure but not repaying it on time is certainly a matter of concern. Big responsibilities become easy to manage when you learn to control the unexpected and small money crisis. It is a skill, keep polishing it and come out victorious from 'Any to Every' financial turmoil.

Lots of people responded with encouraging tips on how to proceed using a reed that is too small for my loom, so I have barged ahead. Here's the chunky, bobbly warp…
…and here it is all threaded, sleyed etc using the 6 dpi reed.
I know you can see the ends of the reed quite clearly, but I marked them with yellow arrows to compare with the following picture of the full-size reed. It also aids comparison with the size of a seven-year-old male cat.
In fact I seem to have had a brainstorm of some kind, because the smaller reed is not 12″ as I said before, but 16″. That means there are only an additional 5½ empty inches each side and it seems to be very stable. The beater has a big central handle which is easy to grab and helps to keep me beating straight. Nonetheless, it does have the scope to twist a bit if I'm not careful and my main concern would be that the shorter reed might not provide enough rigidity to counteract that. So far, so good, however.
This is intended to be another echo weave art piece. Where Lava Flow was Earth + Fire, this is Shoreline, i.e. Earth + Water. I am planning to use a clasped weft — I have a blue & white slubby silk/cotton blend for the sea and a plain beige cotton for the sand — and to follow the curves of the design like waves if I can. At the moment, though, I am just practising… and am having to work hard simply to keep my twill advancing in any kind of order. There's a completely different rhythm to the clasped weft, and I also miss my usual signpost: "the shuttle is in my right hand and so the next pick must be an odd one."
Here's the first little bit of sampling.
If you peer, you may be able to see the colour change! Of course, I want the outline of the shape to be visible across a room; I'll need to weave rather more, and rather more accurately, before I'll be able to test the success of that plan.
One place where striking patterns are very visible is through the windows along the front of our house. It is the Time of Roof Repair and Maintenance, and we are completely enveloped in scaffolding.

O.K. Let's get one thing straight from the start. This is not a driving simulator like Forza 5 or Gran Turismo. This fits more into the category of Forza Horizon meets GTA meets Need For Speed….and unfortunately… it simply steals aspects of all these arcade games and tries to make it their own.
So the game starts off putting you in a Ford F150 with some serious grunt and running from the fuzz. But this power is short lived once you escape from the police and change cars.playing as Alex Taylor (The voice actor is the same guy from Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and sounds like the guy from 'Saints Row The 3rd '), you are apparently the best driver in the city but are not part of the "5-10" crew that every other hardcore racer is part of. You are then asked by your brother to do a job for him that eventually gets you thrown in the slammer for a few years.
I understand driving games struggle to make things original these days, but please…. At least try an original storyline. A wrongfully accused innocent driver of his brother's murder to then seek revenge??? Please….. Give the 1970's TV their storyline back. Then they simply bought back the cheesy "only in the movies" storyline of an "FBI agent wanting a criminal to help her catch a crooked CIA agent and the murder of his brother"….. That has not been original since the 70's either.
Moving on from the terrible storyline I have to say the controls have a lot to be desired. With the awful manual shifting control of using the look control (right analog stick) to go up or down, mixed with the "boost" button from pretty much every Need For Speed game this century, I'm failing to see, once again, anything new in this game. So let's move on.
The actual driving itself, Well… It's fun. And very easy. I would put it in the category of Need For Speed again but from the Playstation 2 era, where simply flooring it into the corner and hitting the foot break lets you go into a perfect drift, which gets you around the corner much faster than actually breaking…. Because in a game… real world physics have no place.
As the story progresses you are greeted before and after every race with a cut scene helping the story along. A good way to immerse you in the conversation with your crew and even the people you are trying to hunt, but it gets a bit much when every time you crash into something with considerable force, it throws you to a slow motion cut scene. At first it was cool to see how badly you crashed into the train, bus, truck, or oncoming car, but when you are at the end of a 9 minute race and you get the cut scene because you hit a pole… all it does is makes you go into a controller rage and want to throw it at the screen.
I don't want to just smash this game to pieces. there are good things about this game. The graphics of the cut scenes are actually quite clean. The detail of the cars are good in the cut scenes, but that's where it ends. during the races they just aren't clear as they try to emulate the "go fast blur". and to top it off there simply aren't enough cars to choose from.
Licensing is always an issue and generally costs a pretty penny to get all the manufactures on board, and it looks like the crew had those issues. But we still get a good 60 cars to choose from and I'm sure in the coming months they will release premium cars for us to spend even more money on even though we already spent almost a hundred dollars buying the game in the first place.
There are a heap of different race types from Street, Dirt, Performance, Raid, and Circuit. In the beginning you only have access to the street races, and as you progress through the single player story, the other race types are unlocked. One thing I didn't like was as this is a purely online game… you can't jump into a race with your mates who are well ahead in the story until you get that far through it. It's a flaw. Especially with a game, as I've said before, that relies on the fact it's supposed to be MMO. i understand that there are car levels and all that but surely opening the PVP straight away would have worked as well.
The career navigation needs work. I had often found myself finishing a race, waiting for the phone call from the FBI agent or someone else and nothing would happen. Then I had to open the map, and find some out of the way obscure race that for some reason I missed and had to drive 10 minutes to get to it. It doesn't flow very well.
The little games (or "skills" as they call it) like the Distance Jump and Slalom or Smash The Targets certainly help pass the time during the very long road trips from city to city. But it's only in the initial few hours, because once you have been to a city or driven over a road you can easily "quick jump" to any location you have been before with no penalty be it funds or some sort of points system. It's certainly helpful. But to be able to pinpoint a location to drop into removes the challenge of having to drive. (especially as there were supposed to be full servers of other drivers)
With a severe lack of players on the servers, finding people to match up with proved difficult… very difficult, seeing as this is supposed to be an online game… I hope as time goes on they either decrease the amount of servers or fix whatever the issue is with the servers, because there are way too many NPC drivers. It's certainly not what it was hyped up to be.
After a few hours you are finally available to do full-fledged PVP races…. But finding one is like watching paint dry on a wet Sunday afternoon. Without the ability to take 4/8 racers and run the faction race (which u get to join after about 3 or 4 hours of play) I was left waiting for well over 5 min with nothing to do but wait for the apparent other 4 drivers that just seem to NOT exist on my server…. Then to my absolute anger…. The server kicked me from the waiting group… Then once again I was kicked completely from the server.
I will say I haven't seen terrible servers like this since the GTA5 Online was launched where I spent a week at a loading screen before realising the online version was so buggy it was unplayable.
Eventually I came to the conclusion that in order to get a race of pure PVP, I needed to stay away from the faction races. Things are starting to change but faction races are hard to find and being in Australia makes it harder as we don't get the hordes of Americans on with us at night. But even during the day, which I tried a few times, still comes up with the same result.
So does the crew meet the standard people expect when paying almost $100 for a game? I say no. it's likely this game will be simply a "finish the story mode and trade it in" kind of game. it is disappointing, because this game had so much hype and potential.

Score 6/10.

Once the draft is completed, unlisted players may not be added to any roster. This applies for any post-draft waiver processing as well.In the event that a drafted player is not listed after the draft has completed, a placeholder player will be assigned to the drafting team, to be replaced by the drafted player as soon as he is available.Position eligibilityExcept as defined below, a players position eligibility will be that assigned by the league hosting site.If a player is listed at one position when drafted and that position is subsequently changed by the hosting site, the manager drafting that player may elect to retain the original position. In this event, that player will keep the drafted position eligibility until he is dropped or traded, at which time the eligibility will revert to the hosting system's default position.Injured ReserveEach team will have one slot available for injured reserve. A player may only be placed on injured reserve when he is so designated by the NFL and the hosting site reflects that IR status. If a manager adds a player who is already designated as IR at the time of his pickup (either through priority claiming or free agent pickup), that team must keep the player on its active roster until the following week. Players who are already designated as IR when drafted are not subject to this limitation, and may be placed in the IR slot immediately after the draft.Once an IR player has returned to active status by the NFL, that player must be removed from the IR slot no later than the Wednesday following his activation. If an ineligible player remains in an IR slot after this time, the commissioner may forcibly drop such player after a 24-hour notice (via email) to the manager.
Priority ClaimingAll free agents (any players not on a current roster) are subject to a weekly claiming process at 7:00pm ET on Wednesday, using a blind bidding process. Each team will be allocated a budget for the regular season of $100, with a minimum bid of $1. Ties will be broken in favor of the current standings (with applicable tiebreakers), worst-to-first. Blind bidding will use the conditional setup at MFL.Starting at 10:00pm ET on each Wednesday, all free agents who have cleared waivers may be picked up by any team "first come, first served. " However, dropped players will subject to a one day lockout period, after which they will be subject to the next scheduled blind bidding period. Blind bidding for dropped players will be scheduled for Thursdays at 7:30pm ET and Sundays at 8:00 am ET.

Instead of these harsh elements, it uses things like oil from plants and water to fight the odors. These ingredients are released in the air as the gel evaporates and starts getting to work.
To get the gel to start working you have to take off the lid and the seal under it. Then just put the lid back on and set it where needed. According to the company, their 15 oz containers would work perfectly for a 200 square foot area filled with odors usually found in a home like for example pet odors.

Main Benefits
- odorless

… and I'm sure #2 is pretty happy about that.
(#2 says: Awwwww! I'm blushing! … Or maybe that's sunburn…)
I know #2 probably disagrees with me here, but I don't think your spouse or life-partner should be your best friend. If they are, I feel like maybe you're not getting out enough (and I say this as one of nature's most introverted people, ever). The cultural myth that you must marry your best friend both devalues friendships with anyone else, and also puts way too much pressure on your romantic relationship. People who believe in perfect soulmates tend to get divorced more often than those of us who know that real relationships take work.*
*This sentence is backed up by data but I am too lazy to dig out the citations from the class I took in college a million years ago. Either look it up yourself or just take my word for it. It's a blog.
Friendships are in a different category for me, and I think it's really important to have intimate emotional connections with people outside your primary romantic partnership. I wouldn't say that what I have with my partner is a friendship, though it shares many aspects: we hang out together, enjoy each other's company, make each other laugh, have in-jokes, share our feelings, are there for each other through thick and thin, are authentic around each other, etc. But it's so qualitatively different for me from a friendship, and not just because of the sex. We have a piece of each other's souls. My friends are great, don't get me wrong (hugs to #2!), and I do love them, but they don't complete me the way my lover does. They don't make me want to be a better person the way he does.
By the way, to all those people who say things like "This chocolate mousse is better than sex!", I have something to say to you:
There is nothing better than sex. Nothing. If there is something in your life better than sex, I sincerely feel that's really too bad, and I sincerely and deeply hope that you can find peace and healing in your sex life. You might want to check out Emily Nagoski, Sex Nerd. Unless you identify as asexual, in which case, rock on with whatever it is you do to recharge your spirit!
#2 offers a different perspective: I'm totally a hopeless romantic and my partner, if not my only best friend, is definitely my best male friend. And it is true that we may be a little codependent, but we're ok with that. We have been a couple for almost 17 years now and he still makes my heart pitta-pat and I still want to hear what happened in his life during the time we were apart each day. (And no, our relationship really doesn't take work, but that's only because he's perfect and I recognize that he's perfect.)
Do we think this post is controversial enough? Readers, is your romantic partner your best friend?
