As Rose Hamid, an American Muslim, waited in line to enter a campaign rally for GOP frontrunner Donald Trump in Rock Hills, South Carolina, she was pleased to find that people were very kind to her. She had wondered if they would even let her in with her hijab, but Trump supporters at the event did more than that.
"The people who were around me were kind. They were very welcoming. They were taking pictures. People offered popcorn," Hamid told INSIDER.
But that sense of welcoming did not last long for Hamid, 56, a flight attendant who said she went to the Jan. 8 rally to protest the candidate.
Before Trump took the stage, the announcer introduced a song for President Obama. He played "Big Girls Don't Cry," a song that Hamid interpreted as a jab against the Democratic president who shed tears while remembering the young lives lost at Sandy Hook Elementary as he announced his executive action to make changes to gun laws.
"Whoever had the mic said, 'Mr. Trump supports the first amendment almost as much as he supports the second amendment,'" Hamid said.
She also recalled that Trump supporters were told to shout the candidate's last name over and over as a way to point out disruptors.
Hamid attended the rally as part of Go Yellow Against Hate, a group whose stated goal is "to counter the recent increase in Islamophobia and attacks on Muslim institutions." According to Hamid, some of the members of the group have been forcefully ejected from Trump rallies in the past, but they continue to show up to protest what they perceive to be Trump's divisive language.
Hamid, who was sitting several rows behind the candidate, said she was removed from the stadium after standing and putting on a yellow star — the group's adopted symbol — when Trump started talking about the problem of radical Islam in the U.S. and the world. People around her started yelling "Trump, Trump, Trump!" after other members of her group, who were protesting more vocally, were kicked out, she said.
"When you start demonizing other people, when you start planting these seeds of fear in other people, that fear is what leads to hate," Hamid said. "And when you start saying things like see how they hate us, then they say, 'well if they hate us, I'm going to hate them right back.'"
In fact, in his speech that day, Trump spoke of hatred right after Hamid was ejected.
"There is not hatred on our behalf. There is hatred against us that is unbelievable and it's their hatred. It's not our hatred. It's their hatred," Trump told the crowd. In a video captured by a Trump supporter and posted on YouTube, Hamid is seen being escorted out by guards. She stops to respond to each person who is yelling at her. One man asked her if she brought a bomb to a rally, Hamid said..
"How do you get decent people, to behave in a way that is unacceptable, and is murderous at times? It's that whole mob mentality that takes over," Hamid said. "The language is very dangerous."

Let your resume work for you, not against you.
Picture this:
You've found it. The perfect job. The listing is everything you've been looking for in your next position and you've got the right set of experience to get it done.
You scramble. You find the hiring manager's name and email, hastily slap together a cover letter, and unearth your resume from your last job search. Quickly, you add a few lines about your most recent job and save the file.
You attach everything in an email and hit send. Then you see it.
The typo.
OK, it may be a bit dramatic, but we've all been there. The job search is stressful and it's rare to come across something that actually feels like a great fit. Each application you make requires time, effort, and customization of your resume and cover letter to fit the specific role or company you're applying for.
Typos and grammatical errors are common mistakes job seekers make, but the margin for error isn't limited to those two things. Chances are that your resume is rampant with other issues, including outdated formatting and mission statements, a format that isn't ATS-friendly, or gaps in employment that have gone unexplained.
Even more likely is that your resume just isn't an impactful depiction of what you've done in your career and why you'd be a great fit for the next role.
Mistakes are natural in the job-search process, but the reality is clear: If you've committed them, you've wasted an opportunity for a job that could have been an otherwise great fit.
Address these common pitfalls and maximize the potential of your next application with a professional resume rewrite today. Your writer will work with you one on one to make sure you have a document that puts your experience in the best light for any role you apply for and communicates to employers that you'd be an ideal addition to their team. Your writer is an expert for a reason, and they will also make sure that your resume meets all other industry standards and gets past applicant tracking systems with ease. Only then you can let your skills and experience impress.

The Irish division of one of the world's largest funders of small business — Bibby Financial Services — has announced details of €70m in working capital facilities available for SMEs through invoice finance.
A 70% increase on its 2014 credit facility availability, Bibby said its decision to make increased credit available to Irish businesses reflects both strong demand for alternative sources of finance, and deepening evidence that economic recovery is under way.
According to the Asset Based Finance Association, over 2,000 companies availed of invoice finance in Ireland in 2014, with the majority of Bibby customers requiring capital support ranging from €100,000 to €5m.
"More and more Irish businesses are opting for alternative sources of financing, like invoice finance, to fund their businesses as it offers more flexible options for growth. We know it is difficult for SMEs to access finance and their financial advisers are increasingly making them aware of alternatives," said Ronan Horgan of Bibby.
"Last year, we provided credit-approved invoice facilities of over €41m, with business owners seeking working capital facilities ranging from €200,000 to €5m to cover day-to-day operation costs of their business. We see this demand continuing in 2015."

Looking for the perfect prom outfit? To be a princess for one night is an expensive undertaking. As high school proms have changed over the years, students -- especially girls -- are spending more.
To be a princess for one night is an expensive undertaking. As high school proms have changed over the years, students -- especially girls -- are spending more.
"You want to be like Cinderella," said Sarah Payne, a Zeeland East High School senior. "You spend the money because you want to have a dress that stands out, that's one of a kind."
Payne spent $400 for hair, nails, makeup, jewelry and a dress this year.
She is one of several marketing students at Careerline Tech Center putting together "Glittering Dreams Prom Expo," which will offer 500 used and new dresses for $5 to $40 today and Saturday.
"That's part of the reason we do this ... to get to see their faces as they try on these dresses that are affordable to them," marketing instructor Nicole Gitler said. "A lot of girls don't necessarily have the money to spend $200 on a dress."
Girls also will be able to try out for free up-dos, makeup and nail treatments with Careerline cosmetology students. A seamstress, flower, tuxedo and other vendors will be on site.
"Especially with the economy, a lot of the social things are the ones that get cut from your budget," Gitler said.
Last year Holly Roelofs spent nearly $350 on prom -- that's $150 for a dress, $50 on shoes, $30 to $40 to get her nails done, $50 for an up-do, $20 to $30 for jewelry to match and $35 for tickets.
"I got my prom dress from our expo this year -- way cheaper ($20)," the Hudsonville High School-Careerline Tech student said.
"Glad I'm a guy," Justin VanRhee, 17, interjected when he heard the expensive ritual.
The tuxedo, vest, tie and shoes still aren't cheap. The guys' gamut can run $60 to $165, local tux shops said.
"You get all glammed up and it makes you feel like somebody," said VanRhee, a Zeeland West student.
Then there's the limo, dinner, flowers and other expenses.
Prom hasn't always been a rite of passage -- or so expensive.
"Even the concept of dating is a creation of the early 20th century," Grand Valley State University History Department Chairwoman Gretchen Galbraith said. "This idea that a young man and young woman would go out in public on a date is a modern convention."
Prom is changing, especially for young women, she said.
"They're dressing more sexually, more adult, and yet they're given less freedom," she said. "Now there's a lot more supervision and a lot more expectations of kids."
When students are dressed nice, they act nice, Zeeland West High School Principal Colleen Johnson said.
"We don't have huge fears of kids drinking," Johnson said. "I don't hear of kids going to hotels, I think parents have gotten smart in those regards."
Prom hasn't changed that much from when Johnson went to parochial high school in the 1970s, she said.
"I would say it's a little fancier," she said. "It's an extreme memory maker for juniors and seniors."
If you go
WHERE: Careerline Tech Center activities room, 13663 Port Sheldon St.

CTI BioPharma Corp. announced that the full clinical hold (February 2016) implemented by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on all clinical trials conducted under the Investigational New Drug (IND) application for pacritinib has now been removed. The Company's new trial, PAC203 plans to enroll up to approximately 105 patients with primary myelofibrosis who have failed prior ruxolitinib therapy to evaluate the safety and the effectiveness of pacritinib. The Company expects to start the trial in the second quarter of 2017.
A company spokesman communicated "We are pleased to resolve the full clinical hold through working diligently with the FDA to provide a comprehensive response to their requests," said Richard Love, Interim President and CEO of CTI BioPharma. "We look forward to discussing with the FDA the future development of pacritinib. We believe pacritinib can ultimately address the unmet need of patients with myelofibrosis who are ineligible to receive or are not benefitting from the approved JAK1/JAK2 inhibitor, ruxolitinib, as these patients have limited treatment options."
About Myelofibrosis
Myelofibrosis is a type of blood cancer known as a myeloproliferative neoplasm. It involves the abnormal development and function of bone marrow cells that produce blood cells which leads to the formation of scar tissue in the bone marrow. This can cause anemia, enlargement of the spleen and liver, fatigue, and other problems. In some patients with myelofibrosis, the condition progresses to acute myeloid leukemia.
About Pacritinib
Proteins known as JAK1 and JAK2 may play a role in the development of MPNs, including myelofibrosis, by causing the body to make the wrong number of blood cells. Drugs that suppress JAK1 and JAK2 are used to treat different forms of MPN by reducing the number of abnormal blood cells associated with these disorders. JAK1/JAK2 inhibitors can, however, result in too much suppression of the bone marrow's production of blood cells. Known as myelosuppression, this condition can negatively impact patient health and quality of life.
Pacritinib is designed to fight myelofibrosis by interfering with the kinases JAK2 and FLT3 to potentially keep tumors from developing. Unlike other JAK inhibitors, pacritinib does not cause myelosuppression, which, if safe and effective, could offer an advantage to patients.

Gluten-Free Sweet Potato and Molasses Muffins
This recipe was adapted from a cookbook full of scrumptious southern style recipes mother-in-law gave me after a visit to Atlanta – Sweet Auburn Desserts. It's been adapted to be gluten free as well as a reduction of sugar. I've learned over time not to be scared of traditional recipe cook books – while most of them are full of ingredients we need to stay away from for MJ, with a little creativity you can substitute and adapt almost any recipe to suit your dietary needs.
These don't last long in our house – as my daughter says "Mmmm.. These are my kind of muffins).
Gluten-Free Sweet Potato and Molasses Muffins
2 medium sweet potatoes
1/2 cup molasses (note if you use blackstrap and not fancy, you may wish to slightly increase sugar content)
1/2 sunflower oil
2 eggs
3/4 cup cane sugar*
1 1/4 cup rice flour
3/4 cup buckwheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tbsp ground flax
1 tbsp infant rice cereal (extra iron and nutrients)
*Note I use Agave instead of sugar when I have it on hand, or you can also use 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce and 1/4 cup cane sugar. When mixing your wet ingredients be sure to add wet to wet and dry to dry when choosing your substitution.
Bake the sweet potatoes at 375 degrees F for 1 hour (be sure to poke holes in them, and place a drip pan underneath in the oven to catch the ooey gooey goodness).
Cool, peel and mash the sweet potatoes with a fork and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease your muffin tins or line with papers/silicone cups.
Combine molasses, oil and eggs and mix well (here's where you would add agave or your applesauce at this point also). Add your mashed sweet potatoes and stir well.
Combine your dry ingredients – sugar, flours, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg in another bowl. Add in the flax and cereal. Add this to your sweet potato mixture and stir until just combined – your dough may look a little undermixed here – that's ok.
Spoon batter into muffins cups and bake for 20-25 minutes until firm and/or toothpick comes out clean.
Note – depending on the size of muffins you want and your sweet potatoes used, this recipe yields about 12 – 24 muffins. I usually find it makes about 18-22.

With the hit Korean drama "My Love from the Star" sweeping China, its government is keeping a wary eye on the frenzy the drama has created in the nation.
The U.S. daily Washington Post reported Friday that the Chinese government officials discussed the popular Korean drama's success with envy at the ongoing China's National People's Congress, where the country's highest governing bodies meet annually to discuss legislative issues.
In a committee of China's political advisory body (CPPCC), the Korean soap opera reportedly topped the agenda. The delegates from the culture and entertainment industry spent a whole morning lamenting "why China cannot make a show as good and as big of a hit," the U.S. media outlet said.
The popularity of the drama in China is, in fact, more visible than ever. After the show's female lead mentioned "beer and fried chicken" in an episode, eating them instantly became a fad among Chinese fans.
|Customers line up in front of Korean restaurants in the Korea town, Shanghai. (Yonhap)
Korean restaurants in Minhang, the Korean concentrated district of Shanghai, are reaping benefits from the buzz. Since they started selling beer and fried chicken, Chinese customers have flocked to the restaurants even when they have to queue up for tens of minutes.
"I frequently buy Korean foods such as beer and fried chicken to eat when watching Korean dramas at home," a Chinese person told Korean news agency Yonhap News. "My friends and I often talk about Korean dramas and celebrities."
"My Love from the Star" features an alien who arrived in Korea by traveling through time from the Joseon era 400 years ago and ends up falling in love with a modern-day actress. The romantic comedy series has garnered more than 2.5 billion views online and achieved the country's highest viewership.
|Kim Soo-hyun (left), Jun Ji-hyun (Yonhap)
Kim Soo-hyun, the male lead in the show, also captured hearts in China with the drama's soaring popularity.
Kim, who recently appeared on Chinese variety show "Super Brain," reportedly arrived on a chartered plane hired for him by the Chinese broadcaster. According to Chinese news reports, the price of the show's admission tickets skyrocketed to as much as $5,000.
Many government officials in China view the explosive popularity of the Korean drama as a heavy blow to Chinese confidence in their culture. "It is more than just a Korean soap opera. It hurts our culture dignity," the Washington Post quoted a CPPCC member as saying.
But more than the cultural dignity is at stake. The bitterness about the Korean drama's success is linked with the regional rivalries, according to the U.S. daily.
China, who has long considered itself "the source of East Asian culture," is now facing challenges from Japanese comics and Korean soap operas in its pop culture, the paper concluded.

Colchicine is a treatment that's designed to prevent or treat gout attacks, sometimes referred to as flares. Gout is brought on when there's too much uric acid in the blood. When uric levels in a persons blood are very high, then the uric acid can cause hard crysals to form in a persons joints. Colchicine is able to work by minimizing swelling as well as lessening the build up of these uric acid crystals that can lead to pain problms in impacted joints.
Colchicine has additional uses as well like being able to stop attacks of pain in a persons abdomen, chest, or joints that can be the result of specific inherited diseases. The way this works is the drug can lower the body's production of a specific protein (amyloid A) that can build up in people with conditions such as Mediterranean fever. It can also be used in order to reduce swelling and inflammation of the sac that covers the outside of the heart. This is a condition known as pericarditis.
What are some of the common potential side effects?
Abdominal pain
Vomiting may occur
What are some of the more serious potential side effects?
Muscle weakness or pain
Numbness/tingling in your fingers or toes
Pale or gray color of the lips/tongue/palms of hands
Signs of infection (such as fever, persistent sore throat)
Unusual weakness/tiredness
Fast heartbeat
Shortness of breath
Signs of kidney problems (such as change in the amount of urine)
Serious allergic reactions
What are some things a person can do to make Colchicine work better?
When you get a medication such as Colchicine the doctor is giving it to you in order to reduce pain and inflammation brought on by gout. It's also given in order to help reduce the frequency of such attacks. However, a person with a serious problem such as this shouldn't rely on the drug alone in order to treat the problem. In order for it to work the way it's supposed to it's best that a person follow certain steps to increase it's effectiveness.
This doesn't mean increasing the dosage or adding other prescription drugs, but making simple changes to your lifestyle that will help greatly. These aren't really big changes, but you will have to be consistent with them in order to ensure you get the full benefit of using a medication such as Colchicine. The main thing people need to focus on here are changes they will need to make to their diet.
Making simple changes to your diet along with using Colchicine is the best way to ensure you decrease the amount of gout attacks you might go through and the severity. Here's some simple changes you can start making now.
Decrease the amount of alcohol you consume. It would be even better if you were able to eliminate it altogether. However, for a lot of people this is going to be tough to do.
Be sure to consume lots of water as well as other non alcoholic fluids. This is going to ensure when you take a drug such as Colchicine it will go through your system effectively.
Try to increase the amount of low and or non fat diary products you consume and be sure to stay away from high purine foods. This would include certain organ meats such as kidneys, liver, sweetbreads, fish that are really oily such as sardines, anchovies and herring. You should also stay away from foods such as asparagus and cauliflower, beans and mushrooms.
Decrease the amount of meat you eat and focus instead on plant based proteins like beans and legumes.
Eat more complex carbohydrates like whole grain breads, fruits and vegetables and stay away from high sugar sweets and other refined carbohydrates such as white bread.

Podcast 27: Choose the Bigger Life, Identify Your "Tell"–and I Reveal Whether I'll Get a Dog.
It's time for the next installment of "Happier with Gretchen Rubin."
I'm just back from vacation, this minute! But before I unpack, I want to post about the latest episode.
Update: In episode 24, Elizabeth talked about her beloved "Blankey," her childhood blanket that she still sleeps with every night. We loved hearing about other people's childhood "comfort objects" (such a bad phrase for such precious items). The books I mention are Rebecca Caudill's The Best-Loved Doll and Dare Wright's Make Me Real and The Lonely Doll. Oh, how I love the uncanny work of Dare Wright...I've collected all her books, including the ones that are out of print.
Try This at Home: Have trouble deciding whether or not to choose a course of action? Like -- whether or not to get a dog? Try this: Choose the bigger life.
In this discussion, I reveal the answer to the question first posed in episode 24: Should Gretchen and her family get a dog? See if you can guess the answer.
We heard from so many people — it has been fascinating, and so helpful. You can listen to what people had to say in a montage of opinions. Also check out happierpodcastdogs.tumblr.com, to read people's comments and see the photos of people's adorable dogs.
In this answer, I mention that I'm an Upholder, which is one of the Tendencies in my Four Tendencies framework. To learn more about that, and to take the Quiz to see if you're an Upholder, Questioner, Obliger, or Rebel, read here.
Know Yourself Better: What's your "tell?"
Listener Questioner: "I can't answer the question, 'How are you?' in a light, positive manner...I always throw in a complaint....I genuinely love what I do, but I seem incapable of just saying, 'I'm fine, thanks.' I'm either a complainer or rude. Can you help?"
Gretchen's Demerit: I don't really have a summer. Yes, we have family vacation, but I don't really have a "summer."
Here's the quotation I read: "Every man makes his own summer. The season has no character of its own, unless one is a farmer with a professional concern for the weather. Circumstances have not allowed me to make a good summer for myself this year…My summer has been overcast by my own heaviness of spirit. I have not had any adventures, and adventures are what make a summer."
— Robertson Davies, "Three Worlds, Three Summers," The Enthusiasms of Robertson Davies
Elizabeth's Gold Star: Elizabeth gives a gold star to the extremely polite stranger who held the door open, even though he was in a tremendous rush.

When you think of "military" workouts, what comes to mind? Demi Moore as GI Jane cranking out endless pushups? Recruits crawling through barbed-wire mud pits or climbing over sky-high walls? No doubt, military training—or boot camp, as it is broadly known—has long been synonymous with body-weight exercises performed to complete exhaustion.
But basic training is moving beyond the cinematic drill-sergeant cliche, says Tee Major, our stud of an instructor. So rather than, say, test upper-body strength with pushups or endurance with a long run, today's troops are getting tougher by being smarter: They're incorporating mobility exercises, speed work, and explosive power moves, all designed to make them stronger, faster, less fatigued, and less prone to injury.
"We're training our military more like top athletes," says Major. "We still need to keep them on their toes and improve physical and mental toughness, but it's more about building them up—not breaking them down."
What's in it for you? This total-body routine, which Tee created exclusively for WH. It's how he trains his "everyday" military athletes (i.e., those not currently deployed), as well as troops in areas with limited resources. Your biggest opponent here: the clock. "By using the stress of a 30-minute time limit, this workout requires you to stay focused and grit through those moments when you want to give up."
The workout: Two or three times a week, perform the exercises in the order instructed as one circuit. Your mission: Complete three rounds in 30 minutes or less. You'll need to move quickly, stopping to rest only when absolutely necessary. But the payoff is worth it—a more flexible, more powerful, more sculpted you. (If you're looking for your next challenge, check out Women's Health's new Ignite routine, created by Next Fitness Star Nikki Metzger.
1. Inchworm
Stand with your feet hip-width apart, then fold forward and place your hands on the floor in front of you, bending your knees slightly if needed (A). Walk your hands away from your feet, keeping your core tight (B), into a pushup position, then slowly drop your hips and raise your chest toward the ceiling (C). Pause, then press into your hands and raise your hips toward the ceiling, keeping your legs straight (like you're in downward dog), then return to pushup position and slowly walk your hands back toward your feet and stand. That's one rep. Do five.
2. Deep Lunge With Rotation
Step your left foot forward and bend your left knee to lower into a forward lunge, then bend your torso forward and place your hands on the floor on each side of your left foot (A). Keeping your right leg nearly straight, rotate your torso to the left and raise your left arm toward the ceiling (B); pause, then slowly reverse the movement to return to start. That's one rep. Do 10, then switch sides and repeat.
3. Burpee
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms at your sides (A). Push your hips back, bend your knees, and lower your body as deep into a squat as you can, then place your hands on the floor in front of you and shift your weight onto them (B). Step or jump your feet back into a pushup position (C). Quickly reverse the movement to return to start. That's one rep. Do 10.
4. Sprint Shuttle
Find an open space (like a court, field, or long driveway) and place two cones or markers 50 yards apart, then position three additional markers roughly equidistant between them. Standing at the first marker, sprint to the second marker and bend your knees to touch the ground there with your hand, then immediately sprint back to the first marker, touching the ground again. Repeat this pattern without stopping, running as quickly as possible to the third marker, then back to the beginning, and then the next farthest marker and so on, until you have run to the last marker and back.
5. Kettlebell Swing
Holding a kettlebell with both hands at arm's length in front of you, stand with your feet slightly more than hip-width apart and push your hips back, bending your knees slightly to bring the weight between your legs (A). Squeeze your glutes and thrust your hips forward to swing the weight to shoulder height, keeping your arms straight and core tight (B). Reverse the movement, bringing the kettlebell between your legs, and continue swinging back and forth for 10 total reps.
6. Kettlebell Goblet Squat
Standing with your feet slightly more than hip-width apart, hold a kettlebell at chest height with both hands, elbows bent and pointing toward the floor (A). Sit your hips back and bend your knees to lower your body until your thighs are parallel to the floor (B), your elbows brushing the insides of your knees. Pause, then press through your heels to return to standing. That's one rep. Do 10.
7. Dumbbell Deadlift To Curl And Press
Stand with feet hip-width apart, knees slightly bent, and hold a pair of dumbbells at your sides (A). Keeping your chest up, push your hips back and bend your knees to lower your body toward the floor (B). Press through your heels to stand; bend your elbows to curl the weights toward your shoulders (C), then press them directly overhead until your arms are fully extended (D). Reverse the movement to return to start. That's one rep. Do 10.
8. Renegade Row
Get into a pushup position with your hands resting on dumbbells and your feet slightly more than hip-width apart (A). Brace your core and keep your hips parallel to the floor as you pull one weight toward the side of your rib cage (B). Slowly lower the weight, then repeat with the other arm. That's one rep. Do 10.

All eyes have been on Meghan Markle and Prince Harry since their adorable engagement announcement earlier this month. And though the date and location of the big event have been publicly released (there was surge in hotel bookings in London over those dates), the world is more interested in what Meghan's dress will look like.
The bride's outfit is a big deal for any wedding, and the Royals have even more traditions than most. Right now, it's looking like long sleeves.
Israeli designer Inbal Dror is one of the three fashion designers who are reportedly in the running to dream up the future princess' wedding gown, and TMZ has gotten their sticky hands on some of her sketches. The designs are ethereal, statement-making and perfectly appropriate for a wedding full of the most regal guests — and the world — to gawk at.
Long, lace sleeves with gauzy V-necks and delicate detailing on the shoulders are some of the key fashion elements from Dror's sketches, which is very much true to her design aesthetic.
Based in Tel Aviv, Dror is known for her elegant and boundary-pushing, hand-woven gowns with plunging necklines and intricate laces. (Beyoncé rocked a Dror dress at the 58th Grammy Awards in 2016.)
According to a Dror spokesperson, the leaked sketches were commissioned by the royal palace last week, but may not be the finals that were submitted by the brand. In any case, it's fun to imagine Meghan in one of these options.
Can you picture the future Duchess of Sussex in one of Dror's intricate gowns? It's certainly no Kate Middleton wedding dress — her Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen piece was much more classic and reserved — but that doesn't mean Meghan shouldn't take a fashion risk that shows off her personal style. Surely the Queen herself will approve of whatever sartorial choices the actress makes.
While Dror is of course just in the running and none of the designs are final, her whimsical creations are certainly worthy of a princess walking down an aisle to meet her prince. Brides-to-be, take note, this live action #weddinginspo is better than any glossy mag can offer.

The requirements for getting a vocational license will often be very different, depending on your local state or jurisdiction, and the type of job you are interested in. The first thing to do is to check for the agency in charge of issuing the license and the requirements for the license. Some may require you to pass a test, have experience or a certain minimum number of educational hours or credits. Some states may not require any vocational license at all for certain jobs.
In order to apply for a vocational license, check with the governmental agency in charge of the licensing. Some jurisdictions or states have a professional licensing division that will handle all types of vocational and professional licenses. Others may leave the licensing up to a particular governing entity. For example, physicians and nurses may be licensed through a state's medical licensing board, rather than a general state licensing board.
If you need a certain amount of education, the licensing application packet or accompanying documents should detail all of those mandates. If you have already achieved the education requirement, then you will likely be required to include proof with your vocational license application. Transcripts, official or unofficial, may also be required.
A vocational school could offer you an advantage when it comes to receiving a vocational license, even if a formal education is not required. Often, these schools will spend a great deal of time preparing you for the test, and then helping you fill out all necessary paperwork for the license. This may make the tuition and time investment worth it, especially if the application process is confusing or seems overwhelming to you. Before choosing a school, it is important to make sure it is accredited and accepted by your licensing board.
If a test is required, it is up to you to register for the test and prepare accordingly. Some tests may be offered on a walk-in basis, but many will require you to register for a certain testing date before a deadline. If you miss that registration deadline, it may be months before the test is offered again. A schedule of tests and deadlines for registration is often found on the licensing board's Website, or you may call the agency in charge for that information.
Once you get your license, there may be certain things you must do to keep it. Very few licenses last indefinitely, and many will come with continuing education requirements. It is up to you, as the license holder, to understand these requirements, and to make sure that they are met before renewal takes place. Some may also demand that you actively stay engaged in your chosen profession.

I have had a BLAST collecting 12 days of giveaways.. let's get to Day 2!
My friends at Kaleidograph Pattern Design toys sent me two of thier new Kaleidograph kits.. WHAT FUN!
You might find this to be VERY addicting for designing Quilt pattens without a computer! Every pattern of the Kaleidograph is a quilt pattern in miniature and the billions of geometric designs that can be made are super fun to try!
No batteries, no plastic, totally creative... and for ALL ages. When was the last time you found a toy that speaks to everyone and is creative?
The Kaleidograph Pattern Design toy was on WIRED magazine's Wish List, in Martha Stewart's Holiday Gift guide, it's the Hipster toy for sure!
And I have a BUNCH of them to giveaway! THREE winners!... oh the possibilities!
And another winner will receive my stack of 3 mini charm packs!
Leave me a comment by 8pm my time Tues Dec 9 telling me
Have you ever Designed your own quilt,
and if you did what was it?
3 Kaleidographs to
Laurie R who said - The first quilt I ever designed is almost finished. It's a selvage star. It's a combination of several different designs that I've seen. I will post as soon as I get it bound.
Deborah who said -I have made quilts mostly from patterns or pictures, but I always make the backings: I piece them, carrying on parts of the top's design elements, and lots of times I like the back just as much as the top!
and Kim who said - The one and only quilt I have ever designed was for my then 4 yr old nephew. A little background first. My friend and I had bought a bolt of batting from a store in a huge city where my family all lives. The bolt was ready to pick up so my brother in law and his then youngest son when out to pick it up for us before coming up to visit. When they walked into the store, all the Christmas fabrics where on display. My nephew then told his dad, he needed to make him a snowman blanket.
Well my brother in law told him he needs to talk with me. So as soon as my nephew saw me, the first things out of his mouth was "I want a Snowman blanket". This was in September. So I proceeded to look for cute patterns for snowmen and didn't find any that would be too hard/time consuming to make. I was not having much luck. I was looking at a colouring book that had cute snowman and decided to make my own. I blew up a colouring book picture with a light projector, onto brown parcel paper. Drew the picture on the paper, cut it out and then appliquéd onto some background fabric. I made the whole thing out of minkee, found cool buttons to act as the mistletoe berries and botton up frosty's belly. Turned out fantastic. My nephew is almost 9 and he still drags that blanket with him everywhere and sleeps with frosty all year round.
And the MINI Charms go to Mary who said - Mant years ago I made quilts for my mom and mother in law for Christmas. I traced all their kids & grandkids hands, appliqued those on a square and then embroidered each name next to the hand. I had never made a quilt before those. I tied them because it was easy to do. Both are stll in use after 35 years, many washings, and lots of cuddling.
Thank you for this opportunity to win some wonderful quilting goodies.
Can't wait?

Personally, my kids and I attend a lot of playdates, where everyone brings a bag toys for everyone to play with. Often times, we bring the same toys, or someone's toys get placed in the wrong bag when we're cleaning up, so I found the labels especially helpful in avoiding those situations. Really, the applications are endless, and as our kids get older and enter daycare and school, I can only see these products becoming more helpful.

Dean Gallion's Class Ring, 1950
Hart High School
Dean's Ring 1950
Gwen & Dean's Rings
Gwen's Student Council Pin
Dean's CIF Championship Bauble
Gwen (Class of 1949) and Dean (Class of 1950) Gallion's Hart High School Class Rings,
side-by-side for comparison of girls' and boys' ring sizes. (Gwen's is upside-down in this photograph.)
Gwen Booth was a member first class to attend and ultimately graduate from the Santa Clarita Valley's first high school, William S. Hart High, in 1949.
When she entered as a ninth grader the year it opened, 1945, the school was located on the campus of Newhall School (which went through eighth grade) at Walnut and 11th streets, and it wasn't called Hart.
It was called Santa Clarita Junior and Senior High School — Santa Clarita being the diminutive form of the local river's name, by which the valley was known.
The school district, created by a vote of 1,184 to 7 earlier that same year, was called the Santa Clarita Union
High School District. Its only school opened with one grade level (9th) and added a grade each year until the freshmen of 1945-46 became the seniors of 1948-49.
Gwen, a cheerleader, would go on to marry her high school sweetheart, an athlete from Saugus named Dean Gallion of the Class of 1950. But first, there was work to do.
Gwen was a member of the student council and the committee tasked with selecting the mascot and school colors. The committee picked maroon and grey
for the colors — which changed, according to Fred Trueblood III, in 1964 to red and black because the maroon hues were too hard to match in sports
uniforms and cheer outfits. According to Nanette Lagasse Gaither (Class of 1968), it was June of 1966 when the colors changed, on a vote of the following year's
juniors and seniors (Classes of 1967 and 1968).
Back in 1946, after surveying the mascots of other
high schools in nearby communities, Gwen's committee settled on "Indians."
"In the late 1940s all the mascots were animals or people," Gwen explained in a 1997 interview. "We thought about the Panthers,
but there weren't any panthers around here. We wrote on a chalkboard all the school colors and nicknames of every school that we might be in a league with,
and nobody had 'Indians.' We wanted a name that would sound good in a yell, too, and with three syllables it was an easy one to put in a cheer."
Gwen said the committee felt the name was appropriate because "the Indians were our explorers, and there was certainly nothing wrong with being Indians.
There was an Indian settlement at Castaic, and at the Highway 126 junction, and at Agua Dulce."
Minor grumblings over the mascot pertained to the notion it was "too common," according to editor Jerry Wiles, writing in the first edition of the school newspaper,
The Smoke Signal, in March 1946, long after the selection was final.
Next came the school's renaming.
"Santa Clarita" was a new grammatical contruct recommended by historian A.B. Perkins in the 1940s while the school district was forming. You really
couldn't have two "Santa Clara" high school districts in California — there already being one up north, complete with a "Santa
Clara High School" that opened in 1872. We'd have lost in a boxing match to our northern namesake, so we gave up our claim.
But "Santa Clarita" took forever to catch on. Folks didn't like it. So in August 1945, as the first school
year was starting, the school board approached cowboy actor William S. Hart, who had donated money and land to the construction effort, and asked permission
to use his moniker. Newhall's most famous citizen initially felt unworthy but ultimately acquiesced.
Gwen remembers that the school and the district officially changed their name in March or April 1946, just a couple of months before the actor's death on June 23.
By that time, Gwen's committee had already settled on "Indians."
The mascot came first, before the school became "Hart."
And that's whey they aren't the "Hart High Cowboys."

Ep 23: Knowing Your Personality and Knowing Yourself Before Trading
It is February 5th, 2015 and this week we're going to talk about Knowing Your Self it's very important topic but before we get there I want to thank you for joining me on this week's Rapid Recap and I just want to let you know that the technical analysis course is coming out probably next week.
I'll have all the all that information, all the stuff next week but unfortunately because I won't be able to create the video to explain to you what it's all about to later it'll probably be launched within two weeks.
With that in mind it's going to be fourteen discs, I think its 11 hours or 10 hours and 45 minutes. It's very in-depth and the study guide alone is around 260 to 270 pages and that's not a book size study guide. That's an actual 8 by 10 study guide.
It's a massive course and I'll let you know when that comes out, alright with that in mind let's get started with knowing yourself. Before we get into the stocks, I want to talk to you about knowing yourself and before you get into this business, before you start trading, before you place a trade, before you do anything you need to know that this is what you want to do.
A lot of people are jumping headfirst or they delay getting started and they do it in the wrong way. It's kind of like people that go to school to become a doctor they they go to high school they want to be a doctor, they go to a college they want to be a doctor.
They take all the courses then they start their internship you know six to seven years later into the business and they see blood and all of a sudden a pass out and faint and now they know they can't handle blood and all of a sudden it just doesn't work for them.
The same thing happens in stocks people may study and do a lot and they never really pull the trigger and you got to pull the trigger to really know if this business is for you, yyou got to know if it fits your personality, if it fits your risk tolerance and if it fits your lifestyle and if you can handle it because if you can't handle it then sometimes it's best to just say it's not for me and move on to something else.
There's nothing wrong with that there's just nothing wrong with saying next and really you should be saying that to a lot of stocks next, it just doesn't look good but that's beside the point. With this in mind you have to look at the bigger picture and you have to look at yourself and evaluate yourself what is it that you're good at.
Some people start trading options because they want to gain the leverage and it's usually a beginner because they don't have enough money in their account other people do want to try Forex because you can make more than you got commodities then you know I mean you can trade so many things.
You got Forex commodities, options stocks, European markets and you can trade the Australian markets and there's so many things you can do in the trading world and the market gives you opportunities every day, every day you get opportunities that the market is open and even when it's not you have before market hours and then after-market hours.
You can be trading a lot but not every time is optimal for your style and for your personality or for your risk tolerance or maybe for your life lifestyle maybe you don't want to be on the computer screen all day 24 /7, maybe you have a family so you need to find the optimal trading business for you, it's kind of like what a lot of people do in business. I do a lot of businessmen touring and I write different books. I also do a lot of business coaching so its a huge passion of mine and I like picking brains and I like evolving things.
The stock market's it's really also about knowing and understanding businesses. The core is really knowing and understanding businesses. So it's tied in for me with one and really the what a lot of business folks do when I coach or when I mentor them or when I go to the seminars and when I speak at seminars,
what happens is you have these people who develop a business and they run it for three months and then they stop doing that business and they start a new one but they didn't make profits with the first one and they jump from one business to the next business.
Then they do the same exact mistakes and they repeat those mistakes in the second business. Then they go to the third business then the fourth business they keep closing down shop at their businesses hopping, their business serial entrepreneur.
They just constantly kill businesses and then they start new ones they kill it then they start the new one and I understand you do it for a little while or maybe you change career paths and this kind of thing it does happen it does because we all involved things and we learn new things.
Then again the thing is if you're getting up to the same exact point and you're stopping and you're not improving that's where the trouble lies and with stock trading it's no different. A lot of people they make the same mistakes over and over in trading and they don't learn from their mistakes because we're scared to look at our losses, we're scared to look at what's going on underneath behind our trades.
We don't get better really because it's a personal issue rather than the issue being you know we always blame it on external it's the markets but really the market is giving you opportunities all the time. It doesn't mean you have to jump in at every opportunity given to you and it's this opportunity blindness effect that happens.
There's so many opportunities most people are not selective enough in order to trade the right markets. It's habitual, it's just part of human psychology that we jump at opportunities and I know a lot of guys guy friends who you know jump one girlfriend to the next to the third to the fourth and they make the same mistakes with every new girlfriend that they date,
They're usually very similar nature or they have the same characteristics and psych you know in making the same mistake.
In stocks you need to be really honest with yourself because it's going to cost you. It's just like in business it's going to cost your time and energy and also money but you don't get to see a direct cause and effect result very quickly when it comes to business because you feel like you have physical tangible assets when you buy a new printer, when you hire someone you feel a little more arm proud I guess or you feel a little bit more real.
With the stock market it's a real direct very close connection of cause and effect. If you did something wrong you are going to have a loss, if you did something right you're going to have a profit so it's a very linear cause-and-effect relationship.
So if you're wrong then you're wrong and if you're right you're right and a lot of people don't want to be honest with themselves. With that said you're basically not choosing your trades carefully you're jumping from one to the next to the third and then you just feel like you got to make it back, I got to make it back and you need to be selective and you got to be picky.
Let's get into this lesson today and let's look at some stocks because I'm going to show you how this applies to the market and I'll give it to you from my perspective and then you can see how it applies to your perspective so I'll give it to you from mine and maybe you can relate.
If you can't relate that's okay there's plenty of other people on YouTube you don't have to follow me there's plenty of other a stock people out there not all of them are going to tell you everything though.
You know I've been through I've had looked at a lot of different people out there and that's one of the reasons why I make videos is because most traders by the way you know they're either looking for a quick buck for you or from you and that's why they do what they do.
Then you have the others that they really know what they're doing but they don't post it as often or that's very expensive because they're either a trading or enjoying their life or they're really just trying to put you through the ringer and just make a buck off of you.
For me I mean most my information is free and if you've been watching my Rapid Recaps honestly you can get so much information for free so just use it if you want to learn you're determined and you don't have the money just study everything that I have available its direct as best as I can give it to you without holding back.
Let's take a look at the markets here and just talk a little bit about how things apply to you.
Dow Jones what are we doing here? Take a look at the volume normally I look at the volume I look at how it's acting and it's behaving if it's not acting right for me again this applies to me, if it's not acting right for my system, my style, my risk-reward preference, I don't trade.
For me a market that's moving on an upward pattern on lighter volume is not something I like. I talked about it like energy, like cause and effect, if it's fake to me it's fake. If volume picks up then it becomes more real.
Now what we have going on here in the Dow Jones? We have this descending pattern, stocks popping. Doesn't mean it can't go higher, if it breaks here right here this level 18,100 you could see volume probably pick up and the stock market go higher and then I would be more long so that's kind of what I'm watching right now.
Me, personally I like longer trades I like trades that run for weeks, I like trades that run for multiple days. I don't like trades that last one or two days and the reason for that is you can only make a couple dollars on a few days run. Where if you do the right trade at the right time unit twenty to forty dollar gains in a couple months or in a month.
I look for prime opportunities where the things are in my favor if they're not in your favor step aside, you don't have to trade every day. Right here market I'm watching this top-line. Now if you are a day trader if you're a day trader, I'm not personally a day trader I will day trade from time to time.
Really that's not the bulk of my trading. The bulk of my trading where I make the dollars is swing trading. Swing trading right here wouldn't do it, day trading no problem. You can go in on a day trader and you know peel some shares and do just fine.
If we look at the SPIDERS same concept, I was looking for this market to break and if it broke you know what we could have seen. Let's take a look at the S&P it's just easier right here for the day trade this is nice a twenty one-point gain in the S&P is great and it's fantastic for the day.
Now if you talk about the break let's just say here the resistance, if we were to break and I'm just comparing relatively I was watching this line for it to break lower my reward potential was down to here and I do it based on the measured move up here, the volume and the measured move here and the lows of the swing points.
Let's just say it broke right here, this line my potential would've been 98, or call it a hundred points even. Let's just say I got in 3 days and instead of a hundred points I got 70. Say I got in really late, let's just say 60 or 50 points that's still three times more than right here in this one day.
The reward to go down here is much bigger than the reward to the upside for me. Remember it's gravity. Gravity is pushing down on the stocks when the markets' in panic it's falling, it's like a rock coming down of that ground but when going up a lot of times it's not a rocket ship, a lot of times it's just a regular car driving uphill.
It takes much longer for those stocks to go up than it does to go down because when the market goes down its trading on fear. So I'd rather wait for the bigger opportunities or the right opportunities when everything from me is in alignment.
Let's just take a look at some stocks, let me give you a couple of examples.
Wynn's a good one I traded Wynn, I posted this this one in a in a handful of critical charts and everything you can check the tweets on that one and the critical chart members as well just go back to right around December.
This stock was consolidating right here you could you could have traded right here in between this region and you could have made six dollars here, shorted it here and made twelve dollars here and it went back long maybe five dollars.
It made five bucks here but rather than doing that for me why waste my time and energy playing with these five dollars, seven dollars, three dollars or four dollars you know the these things to me are not relevant.
I'd rather read a book or I'd rather go do something else you know or make a good video or other people could benefit. Instead I'd wait for the opportunity right here when this stock broke this level these lows here's the volume spike right there.
It's a big down bar big one right there and I could've got in right there and I did and now we got to run for 22 dollars. You might be saying "oh I couldn't trade on that day okay", so let's say I got in that day, the second day.
Let's say 21 dollars and you still got in late. Let's say you got in the third day and you didn't even get the full move, thirteen dollars that's still more than right here ten dollar run, it's a bigger potential and that's you getting in three days late, three days late so think about that.
Here's another example TESLA. I talked about this one ABCD pattern A to B, B to C, and C to D. I posted this one in critical charts I was watching it, I was watching it like a hawk and here it is. Here was right here.
Yes, you could've tried to play it long here with these big spikes short here you could've played it intraday and maybe tried to get like a little pop here but the bigger picture it was short then long then short. So for me this B to C move is telling me it's going to calm down.
I also see that because of lighter contracting volume. For me why play around with that? I don't need the stress. Instead I'll wait for the patient opportunities. Right here stock broke gap down and came back up playing around broke down heavier volume so you get two big volume down bars right here two red ones.
The up bar is were light that's a sign, let's say there's the line if you didn't get in this first day fine, second day retesting that trend line fine then you missed it again. Third day you got in you would have made all the way down here 44 points, forty four dollars in 26 days.
Let's just say you missed that day let's say you let this stock continue going and going and let's just say you use these lows here and you went in even later you didn't see that.
Here was the volume contracting, here's another big volume spike. Let's say you got in this day you still would've made 33 points. Fine you missed it that day too, you got in the next day 38-35 to 27 points whatever that's big money.
Just multiply that times a thousand, multiply that times five thousand whatever share count you want you don't have to be in the first day and for me I'd choose my stocks carefully and I choose my picks carefully and if you're looking for the day trade if that's your personality then do those.
If you're a penny stock trader then do those, if you're an options trader than focus on options, focus on your strengths you don't have to trade exactly what everybody else is trading instead trade on the picks that are right for you, for your style, for your risk, for your reward system.
Let's take a look at some current stocks that just caught my eye, these are the ones I'm just kind of saying ah-ha! This could be interesting or wants to get into. I'm not in any of these next couple that I'll be talking about.
GRUB, right here this is a great one for the up side. It looks like here we have a weekly breaking to the upside and nice heavy volume moving. Here it is again: popping however the one thing I don't like is the gap and I also don't like that it's sold off at the end so if you're using this stock I would definitely use that 38.01, 38.23.
Right there the gap as that stop because it's got that gap and it pulled back at the end of the day, we got HA take a look BOM, broke. This stock sold off heavy, these stocks sometimes can come back up right here and then retest the gap.
Otherwise you could have a short entry point right there if it breaks 18.33ish or 18.23, it could be a nice shorting point.
Ralph Lauren, broke short or broke down majorly right here. This is why you don't play earnings you sell 80, 90, 95, or 100 percent of your shares and then you get back in it if you want. So if you're playing the stock long just for retirement since 2009 you know you don't play these stocks during earnings then you get back in them because sometimes they can be taken down.
CMG, same thing here we got major 59 points subtraction on your stock and then you could get back in right there.
Yes you may miss a few things like an Amazon on the little pops like this which was a 40 point pop, fine but you do know what Amazon's been doing lately right? It's been selling off 112 points. Sell before earnings most the time.
You could say it's a 50-50 shot but most of the time you get burned on earnings just from past experience there's no need to play them.
Here Amazon's looking good very healthy here with heavy volume popping higher. I would use right here 359 as a stop if you're moving long on the stock. You have a little better resistance here at the 380 level but in general the stock is moving pretty well even though we have a gap here.
Of course eventually those gaps act like a little suction but right now it's holding up pretty well it's holding up.
We have ESPR, also moving well and here's our consolidation pattern popping, volume can come in, couple different bars three days. Remember what I said, it doesn't matter if you're getting in first day, second day, or third day sometime.
Just when you do, if you do get into like stocks on the second day you have to give it a little more room, that's the only thing. You still have to have the same stop, the stops are based on the technical they're not based on your percentage.
It's not how much you're willing to risk in the sense of dollar amounts, in the sense of use the technical as the stop.
COST, same thing here up two days pulling back then pulling back on lighter volume, take a look right here use this line as the stop. This is Costco so be patient if it bounces here this could be an adding opportunities even though it had a pullback today so just be patient.
If it bounces, BOM add, if it sells off, sell it quickly and get out because you never know sometimes they take that stock down quick.
SABR same thing here take a look at the weekly, BOM. Nice range bar break, stop at about 20.51 maybe 20.44 but it's moving, look at that perfect clean break. On the first day nice little break, second confirmation break, third day BOM it's moving and it's cooking.
We got LWAY, same thing here but second day it's pulling it down chances are it's coming back for a bounce to retest and then it may go higher if it breaks again get out and if it bounces possibility to add or get in if you're not in it.
GMCR, here we go A to B, B to C is sideways then C to D. Then you see it A to B, B to C and C to D. So you don't have to trade this and I remember trading the stock actually right over here. Here's my trend line.
When this stock gapped up, I remember this one beautifully there was the highs right here on the previous came down. I was watching it there that was my trade K so that's 11 points, not a big trade but I remember GMCR.
Any way you look for your opportunities then you set your, trade you set up your plan and then you execute. You don't have to trade every day, you just have to be in the right trade at the right time and you only need a couple.
DFS here's the upward trend line, broke. Here, take a look, it might be coming back up for a little bit and then it'll sell off again most likely. If it goes up on lighter volume and things start contracting, chances are it'll sell back off. It's just little bounce and that's all.
Facebook same thing here I was waiting for this one to break, multiple times. I was adding to my short position multiple times here. Advertising revenue just some business inside, I mean advertising stuff is not working for a lot of businesses on Facebook you know they're hiding a lot of the likes and all this stuff within Facebook.
I noticed a lot of business owners that used to spend big dollars on Facebook and I'm saying 20,000 to 40,000 dollars a month on Facebook are not spending it anymore and that can't be good for the company.
Although they are acquiring and doing other things but we'll see what happens. Here here's the lows here, I was waiting for it to break right here and in fact if we zoom in a little bit here was our A to B, B to C and C to D, little opportunity and this is the two-hour.
Then what I was looking at was too short here and short here but normally I don't play these. I did play these this time but in general, the way my style knowing myself my best opportunity is to wait for this line to break and if this line breaks I could see some nice run right down here 63.
Also I sometimes will measure it here how long's that distance 8 dollar run or so and then here we got about a nine dollar run and so it notches the run case. Normally those runs will be equal so what I want to do is find my best opportunity but here for two cents in a day, the day or here 60 cents and 60 cents.
I'd rather wait for the eight dollars because when they start breaking they do this nine dollars quick BOM, BOM, quick, quick, quick and that's what they do. Those are some other stocks.
MasterCard the same thing, look at it right here common popping up this is what I was waiting for. This one was in the critical charts and you know I was waiting for this one to break. BOM, got in it right there didn't have the volume yet came back up here, took it out and stop then BOM now you change your direction real quick you go long.
You're watching for these different things on what's working, what's not working, where's your best opportunity and what's available to you but it's about knowing yourself.
Here's a good example for you when I was trading caterpillar here's a weekly chart, lets it to the daily. Here's your A to B, B to C and C to D right there there's your pattern. Let's just say you didn't even see this here there's your pattern it starts breaking that's a high volume spike right there.
We're at 8.4 million the top up of that bar is 8.4 million. All the other bars right here were lower, you get in it right there. Even if you got into that 105, that's a sign, even if you got in it the next day 104, 105 or 103 you're in the short, right?
Got a couple days, look at all this volume right here, look at it it's calling your name. BOM, stock continues volume still high. I move this out and look at the previous volume, right? Everybody wants that golden indicator and it's right there, there's the golden indicator. Stock continues BOM, BOM and BOM.
Caterpillar 13 points in one month and people here want to go long for two dollars, 13 points on 1000 shares how much would you make?
I hope you got a lot out this video those are just some of the stocks I wanted to cover. I was a little passionate today because I had a few emails of people just wanting to trade everything and you got to know yourself you can trade everything, you can in the sense of you can do it but are you going to be successful?
Probably not and the reason for that is because you just can't be as focused, you can't be as disciplined and you just don't have the mental clarity.
I always say, if you got a million dollars in your account you shouldn't be trading more than five stocks there's no need. Just pick 4 to 5 good ones because your mental focus isn't there. It's kind of like trying to ride a bike without holding the handle bars as you're reading a book in one hand and then exercising with a barbell in the other as you're riding the bike.
There's no way, it's so hard to focus. You're doing so many things and add listening to music to that there's just no way. Stay focused, focus on couple trades, couple of trades max. You only need a handful to make your year and you only got to figure out this business once.
Once you figure it out you got it and you got to figure it out for you. You got to figure out for you it's not about figuring out for everybody else to learn how to trade Forex, to learn how to trade options, to learn how to trade on margin, to learn how to trade a commodities and to learn how to trade European markets.
No, It's about learning what is your best trades and trading those.
Thanks for joining me and I'm sorry for the long recap. I'm trying to keep it under 20 minutes but I'm just really passionate today and I hope you got something out of it today.
Thanks for joining and sticking with me. I hope you have a really wonderful week, great week ahead for you and do something for somebody else.
I plan to do some cooking and we had some eggplant the other night, love it, love the eggplant, love the vegetable stuff.
Enjoy make it a great one and I'll see you next time! Thanks again.

Police believe the residents of NSW town know who killed a pit bull owner who was found bludgeoned to death in his home earlier this month and are deliberately keeping quiet.
Police found the body of Scott Hammond, 48, on July 1 in his Tahmoor home, south of Sydney, after a friend became concerned for his welfare.
He was well known to police and understood to have many enemies.
Police believe people in the local area, and especially associates of Mr Hammond, may know who was responsible for his death and say revenge or robbery are possible motives.
Addressing media today, Mr Hammond's mother, Josephine, said she was "devastated" by her son's death.
"We all don't expect to bury our children before we go," said Ms Hammond, who had travelled from Queensland for her son's funeral this afternoon.
She remembered her son as an "ordinary boy" who loved soccer and stray dogs, and said last time she spoke to him was about a month before his death.
She said during the call he didn't raise any concerns about a falling out with the local community.
Choking back tears, Mr Hammond's niece, Kylie, urged the attackers to turn themselves in to police.
"Stand up and come forward," she said.
"It was a gutless thing to do and you should be held accountable for it."
She described Mr Hammond as "loving and caring, and he was always there for me and my sister growing up".
Camden Local Area Commander Superintendent Danny Doherty said Mr Hammond probably knew whoever killed him.
He said it was very "frustrating that people have information but haven't come forward".
He said a post mortem showed Mr Hammond had been killed by blunt force trauma to the head, but didn't specify the weapon used.
Mr Hammond pleaded guilty 12 months ago to using his pit bull terriers, Chocka and Girlie, to attack and wound a teenage boy and three men in three separate incidents at Tahmoor.
He was handed a seven-month suspended sentence, ordered to pay $14,336 and destroy both dogs.
Mr Hammond was also banned from owning a dog.
He lived alone in the dilapidated home and did not appear to have any outlaw motorcycle gang connections.
