"Shakespeare reloaded: Macbeth" is a journey for students and others who are studying Shakespeare in English, and is designed to help them understand and enjoy the play without getting stuck in the old language of the text.
My goal during the sessions, is that the students experience a safe workshop where they know they are not going to be pulled out to perform, and that they are able to relax and enjoy the play in a new way. I find that by achieving this, I have enthusiastic students who will want to learn more themselves.
We start with a very brief look at the background: it was a dangerous time in England and Scotland in 1606: the new monarch wasn't popular, there had already been at least one rebellion, and yet Shakespeare chose that moment to write about killing a king. Why?
Who was behind Shakespeare: was he writing what his powerful backer wanted to hear?
Who was the real Macbeth, and who was the real King Duncan? Were they really like the characters in the play?
And why, just after Macbeth kills Duncan, does Shakespeare suddenly decide it is Cabaret time?
After the foundation of the background is laid, and we understand what was happening at the time I tell the story of the play, so that we get to enjoy the story instead of getting bogged down with the archaic English.
When we reach a scene like the Witches tempting Macbeth, the Murder of Duncan or the Banquet scene, we will look at the text in detail, with the background knowledge we gained in session one, so that we can understand what is happening.
This is designed to take a double session, or ninety minutes. This can be the end of the workshop or we can have another 90 minute session.
This can be a writing exercise in English where we rewrite a a scene from the play in a more modern style, or a creative piece based on one of the characters.
If the group prefers a more active workshop, I have a role play setup. based on ascene of the play. Normally I'd suggest this should be in German: this reduces the stress levels ald allows people to relax and have fun, which I see as a very important part of helping people appreciate the text.

She wanted what she wanted despite protestations to the contrary. Why the protest? Because she wanted very low profile. And large diamonds. And double halos. Large diamonds and double halos with significant sized accent diamonds usually don't make for low-profile rings. Did I mention she wanted it low? I'm proud of this ring.
It's an architectural wonder and I can't wait until he proposes.
Follow Up: She loves it! All is well in their engaged world. Now, on to the wedding ring!

People buy gold coins for two reasons, for investment purposes, or for collecting. Collecting old gold coins is often because of their intrinsic beauty as works of art and sculpture. Rarity and condition of these coins determine their value. The metal market prices determine the value of investment gold. There are several ways for buying gold coins.
The Best Way To Buy Gold Coins
Whenever buying gold coins, the collector should purchase what they like. Price guide books give information such as approximate prices and mintage numbers for specific coins. Investor gold coin prices fluctuate according to metal market prices like any other metal or commodity. Rarity and condition are the key factors that determine collector coin prices. The best way to buy is from gold coin dealers that have a return policy. This should apply to buying gold coins online. This allows the buyer to send the coin to a grading company to verify the grade. If the gold coin isn't as advertised, the buyer should be able to return it and get their money back. It isn't recommend buying gold coins from a seller that doesn't have a return policy.
Gold Coin Condition
Anyone that buys gold coins should have a basic understanding of the numismatic, or coin, grading system. As in all collecting, condition is everything. Collecting gold and silver coins is no different. The importance of grade and condition when collecting coins cannot be overstated. Condition and rarity determines a gold coins value. Condition is the most important facet of collecting coins. Money may be lost when buying or selling coins because of the coin's grade. The American Numismatic Association (ANA) has a system for rating coins based on the amount of wear. The American Numismatic Association for Grading United States Coins is a book used to determine a coin's grade. There are other books published that adhere to the same grading standards and methods. It is called the Sheldon system and works on a alpha numeric system to rate coins condition. A mint state (MS) coin is uncirculated, and an about uncirculated (AU) shows some wear on the high points of the coin are two examples. A MS 70 would be a perfect coin. A MS 65 may have a strike that wasn't quite as good, but no wear or dings on the coin. The grading system classifies wear from perfect to unreadable dates that makes the coins basal or scrap metal without collector value. Proof coins are coins by the United States mints minted to exacting specifications for collectors. Proof coins are subject to the same grading system and have a PF designation. All serious gold coin sellers and buyers should be acquainted with these books and have some practical experience in grading. There are reputable grading companies that grade, encapsulate, label and certify the coin for grade and authenticity.
Collecting Gold Coins
There are several ways for buying gold coins to collect. Collectors can buy United States coins, or those from other nations. The collector can use one of these methods or devise his own depending on likes and dislikes. By mintmark. The collector chooses a coin such as a 20-dollar gold piece and collects a coin from each of the different mints. By design type. Choose a design type, such as Saint Gaudens, and collect one denomination of each type regardless of date. By year. Pick a year and collect one each of coins for that year. Key dates. Key date coins are those minted in low numbers. These coins are harder to find that those of higher mintage numbers. As a rule key dates are higher priced. A person may devise their own system after looking at the gold coins varities.
Gold Coins to Buy
The best coin to buy depends on the collector. They should buy the best quality they can afford, preferably a coin graded and certified by one of the reputable grading companies. The gold coin dealer should guarantee his coin and stand behind it.
Those buying or selling gold coins for investment isn't ruled by the grading and condition restrictions. Gold coins made for investment purposes are bullion. Bullion value is determined by the fine gold content and quoted in US dollars per troy ounce. Gold is part of the commodities market and follows that market's prices. This is what determines the gold coins value for investors. Several countries over the world make bullion coins for investment. Buying gold coins such as the Canadian Maple Leaf, Chinese Panda or South African Krugerrand are easy ways to buy world gold coins.

Sen. Michael Bennet on Obama's victory
Democrat Michael Bennet was an early supporter of Barack Obama, signing on in early 2007 when many Colorado bold-face name types were supporting Hillary Clinton.
Bennet, then Denver's school superintendent and now a U.S. senator, relentlessly stumped for Obama, thought Mitt Romney's choice of a running mate was a disaster and on Tuesday celebrated a victory that came as no surprise to him.
"I think the Washington Republicans — and it's not everybody, but there is a group of them — who have a lot of influence over the policy positions that are taken don't represent Colorado Republicans, much less Democrats or independents," he said. "I think that contortion is one of the reasons the president won."

… apparently, to track you down.
In 2006, the New York Times tracked down a woman in Georgia using only her search history. AOL, as part of a research project, had placed online a 3-month search history for 650,000 users without user names or any other identifiable information – or so they thought:
No. 4417749 conducted hundreds of searches over a three-month period on topics ranging from "numb fingers" to "60 single men" to "dog that urinates on everything."
And search by search, click by click, the identity of AOL user No. 4417749 became easier to discern. There are queries for "landscapers in Lilburn, Ga," several people with the last name Arnold and "homes sold in shadow lake subdivision gwinnett county georgia."
It did not take much investigating to follow that data trail to Thelma Arnold, a 62-year-old widow who lives in Lilburn, Ga., frequently researches her friends' medical ailments and loves her three dogs. "Those are my searches," she said, after a reporter read part of the list to her.

Chinese also has two cases (the one in front of the verb and the > one after) but marks none by morphological processes. Ah - we're talking at cross-purposes. You are using 'case' in the sense it is used in Government-Binding theory; as the late Larry Trask says under 'case' in his "A Dictionary of Grammatical Terms in Linguistics": "2. In GB, a putatively universal abstract property of noun phrases which is an extension of 'case' in sense 1. Every overt NP, in this view, must be marked by the grammar as bearing exactly one set of abstract 'Cases', the names and nature of which are reminiscent of some of the traditional cases in sense 1: Nominative, Accusative, Genitive, etc." Being just a plain ol' empricist, I do not subscribe to the GB theory nor to concepts such as 'deep case'. By 'case' I mean what Larry Trask gives as meaning 1. I quote from him again: "1. A distinctive, overtly marked form which can be assumed by an NP to indicate that the NP bears some identifiable grammatical or semantic relation to the rest of the sentence. In English, overt case marking is confined to a few pronouns ( I/me; they/them), but some languages, such as German, Russian, Latin, Basque and Finnish, exhibit elaborate case systems typically involving about three to six different forms, but sometimes a dozen or more. Among the most frequently distinguished cases are the nominative, accusative, absolutive, ergative, dative, genitive, instrumental, comitative, locative, allative and ablative, but many others exist." Clearly, if you accept, as you apparently do, meaning (2) above, then Chinese has two cases: nominative and accusative. If, like me, you accept _only_ meaning (1) then clearly Chinese has no cases. To me a skeptic like me, meaning (2) seems to me to confuse verbal argument with case. IMO all that Chinese shows IMO is that: (a) it possesses verbs that may have two arguments, i.e. has transitive verbs, one argument being the subject and the other the object (b) it shows the difference between the two arguments by placing the subject before the verb and the object after the verb. I know of no evidence that Chinese has 'case' in the sense of meaning (1). > In contrast to > your intuition, I find it counterintuitive to speak of zero cases, > since with no case, you cannot talk. :-) It wasn't helpful of me to speak of 'intuition'. I don't think bandying about terms like 'intuitive' and 'counter-intuitive' is going to advance debate at all. It is, to me at any rate, quite apparent that we do not mean the same thing by the word 'case' and, therefore, are not going to agree about whether a language can have zero cases. >> I think it only becomes meaningful to speak of noun/pronoun cases >> when there are at least two contrasting forms as, e.g. in Old French >> & Old Provençal (nominative ~ oblique). > > Agreed. But is it necessary to have contrasting forms or would you > say, as I did above, that Chinese has two cases? (In some verbs even > three (the typical 'give': 'Wo3 gei2 ni3 shu1')). Ooh - so 'gei2 ni3' is dative case? Sorry, I do not agree. I've explained the reasons above.

Thus the name AllNoun." >> >> It seems to me fairly obvious that Tom was starting with semantic >> concepts >> broadly analogous to nouns. > > Ok. But although intuitively clear what he wants to say, 'noun' would > still be a misnomer, since it is a syntactical category. 'objects' or > 'entities' or 'thing made of matter' would probably be better. Er - but, according to Trask, even in GB theory case is "a putatively universal abstract property of noun phrases", i.e. if you have case, you have 'nouns'. Above you stated: "I find it counterintuitive to speak of zero cases, since with no case, you cannot talk. :-) " This doesn't, as far as I can understand, tie up with what you said in your previous email of 22nd April: "And if you only have one class of things, I'd consider it arbitrary whether to call them nouns or verbs. ........... He [Tom Breton] just has one open lexical class (plus a few tree-structuring particles) as many other conlangs (and even a few natlangs, e.g. Nootka (cf. Mithun)), too." If, as you say, you cannot talk without cases, and case is a property of noun phrases, then, surely, it must mean that you cannot talk without nouns. Therefore, if it is agreed that a language has only one class of things, that class must be 'noun' as you cannot talk without nouns. Now - let me stress, I do _not_ agree with the first premise "you cannot talk without cases", so the above paragraph is not my position. I'm trying to understand your position and failing to. As far as I can understand, either Trask has not properly defined 'case' in terms of GB theory, or you are defining 'case' in a meaning not given by Trask. Either way, it is still clear that you and I mean different things by 'case'. > I > don't think he starts with nouns like 'work' or 'lonelyness', but > rather with 'pencil' and 'food'. 'Jo', 'dog'. 'wife' in fact, but he moves quite quickly to 'act-of-howling' , 'act-of-throwing'. He does make it clear that the hyphens are not really part of AllNoun but just an expedient because he uses English and hasn't developed a vocabulary for the language. If AllNoun has its own lexicon, 'act-of-howling' would be a simple monomorphemic word. > But ok, it's (quite) clear why it's 'AllNouns'. > >> That you'd have to take up with Tom; he named the language.

Another misunderstanding, I regret. I thought you were speaking about names of languages which are misnomers. I meant that in the case of the language we commonly call "Hittite", we now know that it's rather as if we called English 'British'. In fact, we know that English has nothing to do with the ancient British languages which survives now in Welsh, Cornish & Breton. Similarly, we now know that the speakers of "Hittite" called the language _Nesili_. i.e. which would be anglicized as 'Nesian' or 'Nesite'. The language of the original Hittites was the non-IE language we call 'Hattic'. > It's sometimes hard to find the right term for me when > learning linguistical nomenclature for there is often some confusion > and I don't find the *current* agreed on terminology immediately.

The backlash against Skype is gathering momentum with the announcement of a product that hunts for and aggressively blocks communication from the program.
Ipoques new add-on filter for the companys PRX Traffic Manager PRX-250 system is another symptom of a change in attitude towards the ever-spreading VoIP client among some businesses.
According to Leipzig-based Ipoque, Skype posed a number of security problems for networks. These ranged from published vulnerabilities that opened networks to security risks, the consumption of bandwidth, and the fact that the current client used strong encryption an information and regulatory risk in certain environments.
Company CEO, Klaus Mochalski, said that the latest version of Skype had deliberately been engineered to be as difficult to track as possible using a serverless P2P design, and this had required Ipoque to invest time in recognising the way that Skype calls initiated client connections. Despite the difficulties, he was confident the module would stop Skype traffic in every instance.
Skype was also adept at bypassing firewalls, using unusual ports and ports used by legitimate traffic such as https.
The Traffic Manager hardware could be used to manage a range of other P2P programs in addition to Skype, including instant messaging, SIP-based VoIP clients, and a plethora of file-sharing programs. Being based on a transparent bridge-based approach, the system imposed no configuration or latency issues for network administrators.
The module had been sold to undisclosed customers, already, Mochalski indicated.
We have had enquiries from companies doing work for US government agencies, he said. He suggested - but could not confirm sources that the US government was looking for ways of reliably blocking Skype traffic in times of national security as a way of stopping terrorist communication.
Pricing started at $2,971 for the PRX-250 unit with 1-year's updates, with additional software blocking modules priced individually.

Over 1 million lodging choices worldwide.
New Mexicans love their traditional cuisine. Its roots go back over a thousand years to the foods of the Native American Pueblo people. These farmers were descendants of the first settlers in the area. It also greatly reflects the influence of the Spanish who arrived via Mexico in the 16th century. One of the most important ingredients found in Northern New Mexican cooking is the official State Vegetable, the chile. New Mexican cuisine, while having similarities to Mexican and Tex-Mex, displays a distinct character of its own. If you want to learn more about New Mexican food terms, read Santa Fe Dining, Experience New Mexican Cuisine.
Here are restaurants outside Santa Fe that honor local food traditions.
The Duke City has some really great New Mexican restaurants, some are local icons.
Family owned El Pinto, in the North Valley, has been serving up their version of New Mexican food since 1962. The restaurant, in a large and rambling hacienda, has eight distinct dining areas. The large patio, with its big fountain and five separate dining areas, is THE place to dine in summer. Two of these patios can be enclosed in cold weather and are used as dining rooms year round. You'll probably have to wait for a table as this busy spot doesn't take reservations (except for parties of 15 or more). Put your name on the list and head for the bar. You can treat yourself to a margarita and nibble on chips and the house salsa while you wait. Their signature dishes are the Red Chile Ribs and the House Specialty (Chile con Carne Enchiladas). They are offered rolled or the traditional New Mexican way, stacked.
Mary and Tito's (2711 North Fourth St (505-344-6266), is a local landmark. This no-frills restaurant, opened in 1963, now boasts national recognition. It was honored by to The James Beard Foundation's as one of America's Classics in 2010. According to the Foundation, restaurants that earn this honor have a "timeless appeal" and "serve quality food that reflects the character of their communities." Many locals believe that Mary and Tito's serves the best New Mexican food in Albuquerque and maybe even the world. Tito has passed on, but the eatery is still family-run. Their daughter Antoinette Gonzales Knight manages it and octogenarian Mary comes in daily to greet customers. Mary and Tito's is known for its red chile, carne adovada, chile relleno and Mexican turnover (made from sopapilla dough in the shape of a calzone). Gonzales Knight recommends the Mexican Pizza, a deep-fried flour tortilla topped with refried beans, cheese, lettuce and tomato. If you have room for dessert, try the Mexican wedding cake. They're known for it. They are open from 9am to 6pm Monday through Thursday and 9am to 8pm Friday and Saturday.
Sadie's, founded in 1950, is an Albuquerque tradition. Now located in a large building on 4th Street, which seems to be Albuquerque's New Mexican Restaurant Row, they serve some of the hottest chile in town. Locals love it. Popular dishes include green chile chicken enchiladas (either rolled or stacked) and Roberto's Special, a plate of beans and papitas (little potatoes) topped with an eight-ounce grilled beef patty that's topped with queso (melted cheese) and your choice of red or green chile or go for both (known locally as Christmas), Carne adovada is another dish they're known for. Try it the entrée version or have it in an enchilada. Adam Richman, of the Travel Channel's Man vs. Food, recently sampled Sadie's 6 ½ pound sopapailla. The giant, foot -wide puffy dough is filled with beans, papitas and your choice of chicken, ground beef or carne adovada. It's topped with cheese and the chile of your choice. This $40 behemoth will feed a crowd. If you can chow down on one by yourself (plus a half-basket of chips, a small bowl of their SPICY salsa and a dessert sopapailla with honey), it's on the house. You'll also get a Sadie's tee shirt, a certificate proclaiming you did it, your photo on the restaurant's wall and bragging rights. Five people (mostly skinny) have managed this feat. In 2009, Sadie's opened a second location in Albuquerque's Northeast Heights catering to the eastside crowd. Be prepared to wait at either location, they only take reservations for parties of eight or more.
Some of the best, most authentic New Mexican food is found in Española, north of Santa Fe. The town, settled by people of Hispanic descent over 400 years ago, has a long history of what locals call "las comidas de las abuelas" (the food of the grandmothers).
El Paragua started life as a roadside stand in 1958. It was the local version of a kid's lemonade business. Two young brothers earned pocket money serving up their mom's tacos and tamales. By 1966, the stand turned into a full-service restaurant. Order their award-winning Beef Taco Plate, the Enchilada Ranchera or the Chiles Rellenos.
UPDATE: Chimayó celebrates its 50th anniversary during October 2015.
Chimayó, on The High Road to Taos, northeast of Santa Fe, is famous for three things: its church, El Sanctuario de Chimayó, known for its reported healing miracles; its weaving, passed down through families for generations and Rancho de Chimayó Restaurante. The Jaramillo family has been serving traditional Northern New Mexican food in this restored hacienda since 1965. The restaurant is popular with both locals and visitors. It's especially busy on Sundays when large New Mexican families fill the dining rooms. Start your meal with a Prickly Pear Margarita or Chimayó Cocktail while munching on chips and salsa. Order the house specialty, Carne Adovada, or try one of the other dishes on the extensive menu. Owner Florence Jaramillo recommends the green chile stew. She says they're also known for their sopaipillas which arrive with every entree. You can also order them as an entrée, stuffed and smothered. For a New Mexican dessert treat, try the Natillas. Their version of this traditional custard is made from an old family recipe.
Wherever you chose to dine and whatever you decide to order, don't leave New Mexico without sampling the local cuisine. Buen provecho!

Indicators And Oscillators
Indicators are those calculations, done primarily using the price and volume of stocks to gain further insight into the price movement of a security. They help a technical analyst to confirm trends, judge a chart quality, understand volumes and thus derive BUY/SELL signals. Indicators fall in two categories
1. Oscillators: These indicators mainly show value in a range between 0-100 i.e. they oscillate between oversold (0) and overbought (100).
2. Other Indicators: These indicators do not fall in a range. They do no generate a number like an oscillator but still help an analyst in generating BUY/SELL signals.
Indicators can also be classified as:
1) A leading indicator which moves ahead of the price and is used to predict the next price movement
2) A lagging indicator lags (follows) the price movement and is used to confirm the verdict given by the leading indicator.
Note: A good analyst should not rely on a single indicator. He should derive his verdict by using other indicators, chart patterns, trends, and volumes collectively. Only then the accuracy of the verdict could be higher.
Common and useful indicators:
RSI (Relative Strength Index):
This momentum indicator is used to indicate if a stock has generated an unreasonable demand (overbought) or an unreasonable supply (oversold). It reflects a value between 0-100. It shows an overbought when it is above 70 and shows an oversold if it is below 30. This indicator was developed by J Welles Wilder who articulated that when a stock moves up rapidly it will come to an overbought point. Similarly when it falls rapidly, it will come to an oversold point. In either case, a trend reversal can be expected soon. Thus, this indicator is used by analysts to indicate a probable trend reversal. It is mostly plotted on a 14 day time frame.
Warning: RSI above 70 does not conclude a SELL. It can very well be a BUY. The same applies to RSI below 30 as well. Any conclusions based on a single indicator can be misleading and may result in missed opportunities.
Stochastic Oscillator:
This indicator is similar to RSI where it indicates an overbought above 80 and oversold below 20. The only difference between RSI and stochastic is that, a RSI reacts to price changes a lot faster than a stochastic. Thus it can predict a trend reversal quickly. The disadvantage being that since the reaction is fast, it could have an error attached to it. Stochastic is slow in its reaction, and is delayed in its verdict, but it filters the market error and provides a less distorted picture. Both the indicators have their own benefits and their usage is mostly a personal choice. RSI is mostly used by long timeframe traders while stochastic is mostly used by swing traders.
Warning: A stochastic above 80 does not conclude a SELL. It can very well be a BUY. The same applies to stochastic below 20 as well. Any conclusions based on a single indicator can be misleading and may result in missed opportunities.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence):
It is used to measure momentum in a stock and thus predict a trend reversal. It consists of two exponential moving averages(EMA) of two different time periods namely the 12-day EMA and 26-day EMA. Technically the MACD is calculated by subtracting 26-day EMA from 12-day EMA. It is plotted mostly along a signal line of 9-day EMA of MACD line. At the center line (0) the two moving averages are equal. As the moving averages fluctuate, the MACD moves above and below the zero line. In most cases a signal line crossover or a zero line crossover is used to generate buy and sell signals.
MACD Line: 12-day EMA – 26-day EMA
Signal Line: 9-day EMA of MACD Line
Warning: 90% of the people who understand a bit of technical analysis use this indicator (signal level crossover) to enter into a position. Investors are advised not to rely solely on this indicator for taking a position. It could mostly result in losses.
On-Balance Volume (OBV):
Unlike the basic volume measure, this leading indicator is a combination of price and volume and indicates the flow of money into a stock. It maintains a cumulative total of volumes by adding volumes on up days (positive volumes) and subtracting volumes on down days (negative volumes).
• A volume is considered positive when the security closes higher on that day compared to its previous close. Therefore Current OBV will be Previous OBV + Current Volume.
• Similarly a volume is considered negative when the security closes below the previous close.
• Therefore Current OBV will be Previous OBV – Current Volume.
The OBV thus tells an analyst if there is more demand or supply coming in a security and is a trend reversal in sight. Demand is evident when the OBV line is rising. Supply is evident when the OBV line falls. OBV is not a standalone indicator and should always be used in conjunction with other indicators.
Accumulation/Distribution Line (ADL):
This is a volume based indicator and is similar to the OBV with a slight difference that unlike OBV which considers only the closing price of a security, this one also considers the day's High and Low for its calculation.
1. It derives the following multiplier PosNegVol (positive or negative volume as in OBV) as
PosNegVol = [ (Days close – Days low) – (Days high – Days close)] / (Days high – Days low)
2. This multiplier will be positive or negative. It is multiplied with volume which eventually becomes a positive or a negative volume (as seen in OBV) forming 'Current Volume'
3. ADL is calculated as previous ADL + Current Volume.
Warning: ADL and OBV can sometimes contradict each other and move in opposite directions. ADL is not to be used as a standalone indicator.
Average Directional Index (ADX):
The focus of this indicator is on measuring the strength of a trend. It doesn't really care about the actual direction of the trend. ADX is comprised of +DI (positive directional indicator) and -DI (negative directional indicator). Calculations of these +-DI's are complex. The ADX is plotted on a scale between 0-100. ADX value greater than 40 indicates a lot of strength in the trend. The trend can be up or down, and it doesn't matter. Similarly a value less than 20 indicates weakness in the trend. When +DI is greater than –DI it also shows that bulls are in control of this security at the moment. ADX is mostly used along with the +-DI indicators as it alone doesn't provide sufficient insights to the analysts. Usage of this indicator requires a lot of skill and experience.
Aroon Up/Down:
Aroon indicator is used by analysts to understand and predict trends, their strength and also trend reversals. It is also used to identify phases of consolidation and corrections in stocks. It comprises of two indicators i.e
1. A X-day Aroon-Up indicator which calculates the numbers of days it has been since a X day high.
2. A X-day Aroon-Down indicator which calculates the numbers of days it has been since a X day low.
X can be any timeframe which an anlysts wishes to analyse.
The above two indicators fluctuate between 0-100. An uptrend trend can be signaled when Aroon-Up is above 50 while Aroon-Down is below 50. Conversely, a downtrend trend can be signaled if Aroon-Up is below 50 and Aroon-Down is above 50. An Aroon-Up between 70-100 and Aroon-Down between 0-30 would indicate and extremely bullish trend. Conversely, An Aroon-Up between 0-30 and Aroon-Down between 70-100 would indicate and extremely bearish trend. A consolidation can be signaled when both the indicators are below 30.
Aroon Oscialltor:
The Aroon Oscillator is plotted between a range of 0-100 and is calculated as the difference between Aroon-Up and Aroon-Down. It thus combines the two indicators into a single indicator and portrays the stronger of the two.
A positive reading on the oscillator indicates a bullish or an uptrend and a negative reading indicates a bearish trend. The higher the value above zero, the more is the strength in the uptrend. Conversely, the lower the value below zero, the more is the strength in downtrend.

Drones are becoming part of everyday-life in the area of agriculture, observation and also in sports. While successfully hosting drone racing events around the world, Drone Champions League proudly presents its latest concept yet – the Robo Drone Race.
Here, drones are not controlled by pilots with controllers, but they are flown autonomously, which means the drones are programmed with the help of GPS signal to finish a predefined track. The winner is the team or the single participant, who can program their drone to fly the track the fastest.
Robo Drone Race will be launched at the Drone Prix Lake Zurich from the 11th – 13th October 2018 in Rapperswil. The Sponsor NXP Semiconductor will provide all participants with the starter drone package, including an NXPhlite FMU with DroneCode.org PX4, JLink debugger, S500 drone frame, motors, RC remote controller, Telemetry radio, etc. Teams are allowed to add their own additional sensing technologies to this package. Robo Drone Race will be broadcasted in over 100 countries by DCL's 30 TV Partners like Sport 1, ORF, SRF etc. The main sponsors of DCL races include Red Bull, Breitling, Trilux and as mentioned above NXP.
For further information about Drone Prix Lake Zurich please visit: Drone Prix Lake Zurich
If your interest is piqued and you want to be part of something new, sign up below and be one of the first pilots to start a Robo Drone Race.

More accurately put, these are the sweeping statements that we unwittingly make about things that ultimately never happen. As human beings, I hate to say it, but we are totally and metaphorically full of shit. It's time to quit kidding yourself, son. Here are six of the smallest yet biggest lies you need to STOP telling yourself.
Picture this scenario: You've been complaining about how you have nothing to do, so your friend unwittingly recommends, I don't know, say, Game of Thrones. Before you know it, your eyes are glued to the screen, you're in a blackhole of boobs and deaths, and you're thinking, "GAH I NEED TO STOP. THIS IS TAKING OVER MY LIFE", as you start watching the next episode.
Even if you can remember the value of pi right to its last digit, chances are at some point you will have to, for the love of all things merciful, pick up a pen and write it down, especially if "it" refers to an order from the table you're waiting on.
If you didn't study then no, you're not. If you are worrying about a test, that worry is legit.
It doesn't matter how sincerely you tell yourself this every morning, it will never happen, because the following night, this will be what is going on in your head: I said I would sleep early, but I've got a ton of work to do. Also, I've got to level my character in World of Warcraft. And catch up on Game of Thrones. Hey, I wonder what Kanye West is up to these days.
[What seems like seconds later]
Hnng. Wait whaa? It's 3:30 am already? How did that happen? Man, I gotta start going to bed early.
"Only 5 more minutes. Okay, maybe 10 more minutes, and then, THEN, I'll wake-" [Falls asleep mid-sentence]
[Finally wakes up]
"Gah, what year is it?"
No, you won't. It'll probably be five commercials later, or five hours, or you'll reach the point where you're telling yourself- no worries, I'll do it tomorrow. Then suddenly it's the eleventh hour, and you're still lazing on that couch of self-deception.
But hey, we're only human. We all procrastinate sometimes. We can always spin another web of terminological sham and say that we work better under pressure anyway.

Mary Chesnut's Civil War by Mary Boykin Chesnut (Yale, $30). An indelible, eloquent, and ferociously intelligent account of the war from an intrguing source: Chesnut was the daughter of a wealthy South Carolina plantation owner and the wife of a former U.S. senator who worked closely with the president of the Confederacy, Jefferson Davis.
This Republic of Suffering by Drew Gilpin Faust (Vintage, $17). A deeply moving, exhaustively researched, and richly detailed exploration of the myriad ways in which death entered the American experience during the Civil War as never before. While showing how Americans struggled to improvise new ways of coping with death on an unprecedented scale, Faust tracks how the effort changed the American character, the psyche of the American people, and the nature of American culture and government.
Battle Cry of Freedom by James McPherson (Oxford, $20). McPherson's Pulitzer-winning 1988 book is the best single-volume account of the Civil War ever written. It's an extraordinary book that synthesizes every salient cause, current and consequence pertinent to the four-year near-holocaust America visited on itself.
The Legacy of the Civil War by Robert Penn Warren (Bison, $14). First published half a century ago, Warren's short, incisive book deftly summarizes the way the Civil War reshaped America in multiple ways, and doesn't flinch from calling out Northerners and Southerners alike for the biases that continue to misshape our understanding of the war.
Lincoln at Gettysburg by Garry Wills (Simon & Schuster, $15). Another Pulitzer-winner, from 1992, Willis' analysis of Lincoln's seminal speech is a stunning tour de force — in its writing, in its exegesis, and in the case it makes for the permanent centrality of Lincoln's brief remarks at Gettysburg in November 1863.
Patriotic Gore by Edmund Wilson (Norton, $38). Wide-ranging, brilliant, idiosyncratic and indispensable, Wilson's view of the varied literature of the war is a classic of literary criticism, offering biographical study and cultural analysis all rolled into one. All the usual suspects, from Harriet Beecher Stowe to Stephen Crane, are here, as well as a few surprises.
— Ric Burns is a writer and documentary filmmaker best known for producing and writing the PBS series The Civil War. His latest film, Death and the Civil War, premieres Tuesday, Sept. 18 on PBS

"One sip of the mountain tea sets your mind free." - Fan Zhongyan (989-1052 CE)
A classic oolong of Fujian province grown among the cliffs of Mount Wuyi, a UNESCO World Heritage region of China. Da Hong Pao is truly an outstanding example of the terroir, or soil, topography, and climate impacting the taste and flavor. In this case its the unique organic materials found at Mount Wuyi and the minerals from the surrounding rocks that give Da Hong Pao its unique flavor and taste.
Da Hong Pao is also known as Big Red Robe, one of the Rock Oolongs. Legend has it that monkeys were trained to climb the steep mountain sides to pluck tea from wild tea trees. The Wuyi Mountains, an area 100,000 acres larger than Yellowstone National Park feature narrow canyons with very steep sides, with seemingly every area possible under tea cultivation.
Wuyi Mountains (Fujian Province, China) Oolong Tea
There are many stories surrounding Da Hong Pao. One such story has it that the mother of a Ming Dynasty emperor lay sick with an unknown illness. Tea from a group of tree in the Wuyishan Mountains was sent to the emperor and reportedly cured his mother. In thanks the emperor had the remaining bushes wrapped in large red robes.
Today six of the original tea bushes remain, dating back to the Song Dynasty or about 1,000 years old. Though tea is no longer plucked from the bushes, their clones are used to produce Da Hong Pao to this day.
Check out this short video of how Da Hong Pao is baked to get its signature taste!
Western Style: Steep 3 grams (approximately 1 tsp) per 8 oz of water at 190℉. Infuse for 2-3 minutes for the first infusion. Infuse a second time for 3-5 minutes.
Asian Style: Steep 6 grams of tea in a medium size Gaiwan for approximately 20-30 seconds and pour off into a small pitcher and serve. Infuse 6-8 times adding 5-10 seconds for each infusion.

When I was a little child,
my faith in God was strong.
The older I got,
the weaker it became.
I became my own god.
I entrusted everything
into my own hands.
I made poor choices and permanent decisions
that I clearly thought were best for me.
And when they didn't work out,
I'd turn to God and ask "why?"
Sometimes cursing at Him,
not knowing He was trying
to save me from myself
As the years go by
and I become weaker,
I'm learning to depend on God
as I did when I was a little child.

Berkshire Hathaway Assurance Corp., Warren Buffett's fledgling bond insurer, has received AAA financial strength and financial enhancement ratings from Standard & Poor's Rating Services, the top rating available.
S&P says the outlook for BHAC is "stable."
While welcome, the triple-A from S&P is not a surprise, since Berkshire Hathaway itself is rated AAA Berkshire is backing BHAC both implicitly and explicitly, through its Columbia Insurance and National Indemnity subsidiaries.
Moody's has been giving its top rating to bonds backed by BHAC, although the bond insurer itself does not have its own Moody's rating yet.
S&P also notes that "BHAC has a surplus of nearly $1 billion as of the first quarter of 2008 and is licensed as a financial guaranty insurer in 48 states and District of Columbia." (The National Association of Insurance Commissioners takes some credit for BHAC's fast-track licensing.)
In its news release today, S&P says its AAA rating for parent company Berkshire Hathaway Inc. is "based on its extremely strong competitive position, insurance and reinsurance capitalization, and financial flexibility." It is "one of the few holdings companies with insurance and reinsurance operations that maintains pricing power, cycle management, distribution, and underwriting competitive advantages."

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Santa Clara baseball is set to play the first of two matchups this season against Cal Poly on Tuesday at 6 p.m. PT in the friendly confines of Stephen Schott Stadium.
"The key to this game is keeping it simple, playing the game the right way, and doing your job," head coach Dan O'Brien said. "It's tougher than it sounds, but these guys have already shown how good they can be when they do those things, and they're already making those adjustments. I love this team."

Game Information
vs. Cal Poly on Tuesday, Feb. 28, 2017 | 6 p.m. PT | Game #7 | Home Game #7
Santa Clara, Calif. | Stephen Schott Stadium
All-Time Series: A series that dates back to 1956, the Broncos and Mustangs have each won 42 games, including a split in the two games played in 2016.
Probable Starters (2017 Stats)
SCU RHP Michael Bono (0-0, 0.0 ERA, 2.0 IP) vs. CP RHP Michael Clark (0-0, 9.0 ERA)
New Broncos
Santa Clara (1-5) has 15 newcomers on the 2017 squad and many of them will play significant roles this season. "We really focused on getting humble, hard working, grinders," head coach Dan O'Brien said on Feb. 14 at Bay Area Baseball Media Day.
Catcher Jake MacNichols, a freshman from Napa, California, went deep in his first collegiate at-bat on Feb. 18. He has started each of the first six games and hit his second home run against Michigan on Feb. 26. MacNichols has a .409 slugging percentage along with 65 putouts and five assists for a .986 fielding percentage.
Brandon Buckley, a freshman out of Kentfield, California, has been a bright spot for SCU out of the bullpen. He has made three appearances and pitched 8.1 innings, allowing just one earned run (two runs total) and four hits while striking out 13 batters. His 14.04 strikeouts per nine innings is the second-best mark in the league and No. 42 in the nation.
Broncos in the Field
2016 West Coast Conference Honorable Mention honoree Tyler Meditz, a senior outfielder, made 46 appearances and 41 starts for SCU during the 2016 season. The Honolulu, Hawai'i native is hitting .333 after starting all six games of the season for SCU. He hit his first home run of the season against Michigan on Feb. 26 and boasts a slugging percentage of .500. He has 12 putouts as the starting left fielder and a perfect fielding percentage.
Sophomore infielder John Cresto, a 2016 WCC All-Freshman Team member, has been hot at the plate this season. He is hitting .476 (10-21), the second-best average in the league and No. 59 in the nation. He hits 0.67 doubles per game (four total), which is tied for No. 21 in the nation. Cresto has also hit two home runs on the season and is ranked 10th in the nation in slugging percentage at 1.048. He is first on the team with five RBI as well.
Junior Jake Brodt has made 95 starts in his career, playing primarily at first base. He boasts a .364 batting average after starting all six games on the year. He has recorded eight hits in 22 at-bats and walked twice as well. He is tied for the team lead with Cresto in runs scored (3) and doubles (4). Brodt has been strong in the field for the Broncos, posting 38 putouts with seven assists and a 1.000 fielding percentage.
Junior designated hitter Niko Holm recovered from a slow start at the plate to have the third-best on-base percentage on the squad at .458. He has been walked six times and hit by a pitch twice on the season. He went 2-2 at the plate against Michigan (Feb. 26) with two singles and walked twice as well.
Santa Clara recorded 14 triples last year, the third-best mark in the West Coast Conference. SCU was also fourth in the league in stolen bases with 49. Cresto has already recorded a triple for SCU and Meditz has successfully stolen a base in the young 2017 season.
Broncos on the Mound
Two weeks into the season and Santa Clara leads the league and is No. 28 in the nation in strikeouts per nine innings at 10.2.
Junior Michael Bono is the probable starter for SCU against Cal Poly. He's pitched 2.0 scoreless innings on the year in one relief appearance. He did not allow a hit or walk and struck out one batter.
Redshirt senior RHP Jacob Steffens, now two years removed from his season-ending Tommy John surgery in 2015, has stepped into the starting rotation after being a relief pitcher in 2016 and been excellent on the mound for the Broncos. Steffens has thrown 14.1 innings, allowing just one earned run (2 runs total) while striking out 16 batters. His 16 Ks is a top-50 mark in the nation and his 0.63 ERA is No. 3 in the conference.
Redshirt sophomore RHP Eric Lex spent the 2016 season recovering from Tommy John surgery and has looked good on the mound after two starts this season. He is 1-1 on the year with a 3.0 ERA in 9.0 innings pitched. His 16.0 strikeouts per nine innings is tops in the WCC and the 13th-best mark in the country.
Freshman Grant Nechak has been Santa Clara's Sunday starter in the first two weekends of the season. He is a 6-4 RHP out of Calabasas High School. Nechak is one of seven freshmen pitchers on the 2017 squad.
Cal Poly
Cal Poly enters Tuesday's game with a 1-6 record and it has played all seven of its games on the road. Probable starter Michael Clark, a right-handed pitcher, has made three appearances with a 9.00 ERA in 2.0 innings pitched. He's allowed three hits and two earned runs without walking any batters. Josh George has hit four doubles for the Mustangs and Alex McKenna leads the Big West Conference in stolen bases with four on the season.

Jimmy Page
In the 1970s, there was no bigger rock group in the world than Led
Zeppelin and no greater god on six strings than Zeppelin's
founder-captain Jimmy Page. Nothing much has changed. The imperial weight, technical authority and exotic reach of Page's writing and
playing on Zeppelin's eight studio albums have lost none of their
power: the rusted, slow-death groan of Page's solo, played with a
violin bow, in "Dazed and Confused," on Zeppelin's 1969 debut; the
circular, cast-iron stammer of his riffing on "Black Dog," on the
band's fourth LP; the melodic momentum and chrome-spear tone of his
closing solo in Zeppelin's most popular song, "Stairway to Heaven."
Page actually built Zeppelin's sound and might from a wide palette
of inspirations and previous experience. In the early and
mid-1960s, Page was a first-call studio musician in London, playing
on Kinks and Everly Brothers dates and honing his production skills
on singles for John Mayall and future Velvet Underground vocalist
Nico. And before forming Zeppelin in London in the late summer of
1968 with singer Robert Plant, drummer John Bonham and bassist John
Paul Jones, Page had been the lead guitarist in the final lineup of
the Yardbirds.

"Choose Jewish" Jewish Education in France Gets a Boost
By: L. Azar
From when I was a wee kid until not too long ago, sweets played a prominent role in my life. I was the go-to kid for all things junk, in on all the latest candy varieties in all their gooeyness, chewiness, and sourness. (Sour lips topped the list of favorites, closely tailed by blue sour sticks and chocolate-filledcaramel chews.) Trivialities like calories and weight gain were mere specks on my radar. "Dietetic" and "healthy" were
non-existent words in my lexicon.
Well, several months ago, I gave birth to a delightful little girl. Being postpartum and all, I was officially entitled to help myself to all the junk in the world, an excuse upon which I capitalized to the max. I recall feeling guilty when kind neighbors and friends cooked dinners for me while I used my time to bake 9x13's of desserts and eat them up (thedesserts; not the 9x13 tins). Things continued this way for a few months ("It's okay – you're after birth!"), and all was well.
Until I was twenty pounds heavier than I cared to be.
Until it was time to get dressed up for work again and maternity clothing were the only ones that fit.
Until I'd dread even a fleeting glance in the mirror.
One morning, I peered at my
heavier-than-I-want-to-be reflection in the mirror morosely when a light bulb went off in my brain. Hey! I thought. This bulge ain't going nowhere!(I don't think grammatically correctly.) If I wanted to get rid of those excess pounds, I was going to have to do something about it. I'm ready!At last, I was prepared to do, what was for a sugar lover like me, the impossible: to wage war with my terrible eating habits.
You know how diets go. When you're ready, you're willing to subsist solely on water and carrots. Fresh, hot, cinnamon buns that ordinarily would have had you drooling? Hullo, I'm on a diet!The scale is your new pal and your old pals listen patiently as you chew their ears off about your diet ins and outs. You are propelled by progress and enjoy watching the numbers tumble lower and lower. You learn to say, "Yum!" about sugar-free, fat-free, everything-free yogurt with cut fruit. Somewhere along the ride, though, your diet loses its appeal and your weight loss is stagnant, but the vision of a skinnier, healthier-looking you keeps you chugging along. There are ups; there are downs. Some days, lettuce tastes better than others, and some days-sssssh! – you cheat on a peanut chew. But for the most part, you exert all your discipline to attain your goal.
While you, dear reader, know how diets go, this was completely new to me, and I learned it all on the job. And let me tell you, it was not easy business. My menu was particularly rigorous, and I felt like a grass-eating zebra. Adding some Pam spray baked sweet potato fries to my tuna salad was considered cheating. I simultaneously balked and marveled at how "sweet potato" and "cheating" even coexisted in one sentence. Plus, I learned that butternut squash is a carb, a tidbit I was totally clueless about a few short months ago. But the biggest value that came out of my diet was the pleasurable feeling of self-discipline. Nothing beat that sensation I felt when I overcame the battle to eat what I want. It felt so good to tell myself, "No!"
Today, I am three pounds away from my goal. I would have loved to write this article when I was all the way through (and perhaps I will be by the time this goesto print). However, I chose to air out my weight loss saga specifically as the High Holidays have drawn to a close.
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are days in which we repent and renew our connection with Hashem. We know how that only actualizes when we undertake something concrete such as paying attention to the meanings of the words of one prayer, learning the laws of proper speech, or removing a social media app from our phones.
However, discipline is necessary for growth. When we have the self-discipline to stick to our guns in achieving growth in a certain spiritual area, we experience the sweetest sensation.

The red brick townhouse that was once the hub of George Bush's efforts to censor official reports on global warming has changed. It now houses the brains trust behind President Barack Obama's initiative to restore science in decision-making and green the fossil-fuel guzzling behemoth that is the US federal government.
Under its chairwoman, Nancy Sutley, the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) has promoted measures to conserve energy in the White House which range from the installation of low-flush toilets and sensors that automatically turn off lights in unused areas to the introduction of recycling bins.
In George Bush's day, the CEQ oversaw a campaign to strike out references to climate change in official reports from government scientists. Sutley says those days are gone. "The scientific work was largely done but the conclusions that the prior administration had reached didn't really reflect what the science was saying," she told the Guardian. "The public [didn't] like it very much because certainly on questions of the environment they really didn't believe ... in the actions of the prior administration."
The CEQ chair defines her mission as translating Obama's green agenda across government agencies, preserving natural heritage sites such as the Chesapeake Bay, the Everglades and the Great Lakes, and putting science at the heart of decision-making.
She promises to incorporate environmental concerns into broader government policies. "If you look across the cabinet I can't think of one department where they don't view this as an important issue," she said.
She also says she will green the US federal government, which is America's single largest user of energy. The federal government, including the Pentagon, used a little over a quadrillion British thermal units in 2007 - the equivalent of 172m barrels of crude. That is enough to run the lights, air conditioning and other appliances in 28m American households. Translated into petrol terms, that is enough to drive the average US passenger car 171bn miles, according to figures complied by the government's Energy Information Administration.
Sutley, 47, is a former official of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and came to the White House after a spell as a deputy mayor for environment in Los Angeles. Former colleagues describe her as low-profile but very dynamic.
She yielded some of her influence to Carol Browner, her former boss at the EPA, who holds the newly created post of White House energy and climate change adviser. Browner led the White House effort behind last month's deal with state governors and US automakers to toughen fuel emission standards.
But Sutley is credited with a crucial part of Obama's green strategy - helping popularise the agenda by putting green jobs at the forefront of his economic plans, and recruiting a number of activists to the White House and administration.
She has pledged to conduct more rigorous environmental impact reviews - even on the rash of new projects under Obama's $787bn economic recovery plan.
Sutley has also committed to greater federal conservation effort, allocating funds to clean up the the Great Lakes and Chesapeake Bay, which lies off the eastern coast of Maryland and Virginia.
"I think that many of our great ecosystems are under threat. I think that the lack of federal attention isn't a cause of that, but certainly our efforts to restore and revive our nation's great ecosystems will be helped by a more focused federal presence."
The rigorous new approach marks a revolution for the CEQ. Under Bush, the council would vet the reports of government scientists simply to make sure they followed administration policy; the CEQ also barred scientists from speaking to the press. Sutley's arrival has opened those closed doors.

Head lice are irksome insects that no one wants to have to deal with. Whether you've had head lice or not, chances are that you've come into contact with someone who has had head lice at least once in their lives. They cause itchy scalps and an abundance of annoyances, but they do not cause much else. Despite this, most schools have a no-nit policy in place that will take your child out of school until he or she gets rid of lice and nits.
They spread quickly and silently, so it is important to know as much as you can about them if you want to treat lice quickly and effectively.
Where Do Head Lice Come From?
Head lice have been around for as long as humans have been around, but where did they originate? The species of head lice that we know today is called Pediculus humanus, and it evolved from another parasite – the body louse. Many species of the body louse started to die off when humans began wearing clothing, but those that didn't die migrated to the scalp and began evolving to be able to survive on the human head.
No one is really certain what their natural purpose in life is. But what we do know is that head lice adapt very quickly to changing situations, which is what has made them last so long. They are survivors.
How Do Head Lice move?
Many people concern themselves with how lice go from head to head in the first place because it is an essential piece of information if you want to try to prevent lice from invading your child's head. Lice cannot jump or fly. They crawl from head to head and that is only made easier through direct head-to-head contact. Lice had to learn to crawl back when humans began wearing clothing because it blocked access to the body.
Head Lice Myths
There are a lot of misconceptions surrounding head lice, and one of the most common is that lice are only interested in you if you're dirty. People believe that because they came into existence before sanitation was readily available that lice prefer to live on 'dirty' people who cannot afford the luxury of being clean. This is not true. In fact, if anything, lice prefer cleaner heads because it is easier to move around in them. But they will attach themselves to any head they can in order to survive.
Over-the-Counter Lice Treatments
When it comes to treating lice and nits, there are many options available to you. One of the most well-known lice treatment options is the over-the-counter lice treatment. Many believe that the over-the-counter lice treatments are the best ways to get rid of lice and nits. However, this could not be further from the truth.
Recent research has shown that lice have adapted to be immune to many of the chemicals present in over-the-counter lice treatments. In other words, the pesticides and neurotoxins that exist in these over-the-counter medical lice treatments do not work. It would take multiple treatments to even have a hope of getting rid of lice and their eggs.
In addition, these pesticides and neurotoxins are actually more harmful to your child than they are to the lice they're supposed to treat. Overuse of these lice-killing chemicals can cause problems within the central nervous system and affect developmental processes within your child's body. Why risk your child's health on a lice treatment that doesn't even work?
ClearLice: Getting Rid Of Lice
Because the over-the-counter lice treatments have been rendered somewhat ineffective, many companies have begun to create natural lice treatments as alternatives to the chemical-ridden over-the-counter treatments. ClearLice is the result of one company's efforts to do so. Made in Boca Raton, FL, ClearLice offers you the chance to get rid lice and nits safely, quickly and effectively.
ClearLice shampoos and conditioners are made with a unique formula that uses a combination of natural enzymes in order to breakdown the creature's protective exoskeletons making it easier to remove lice and nits. The peppermint and lavender-scented lice shampoos and conditioners offer you the chance to safely get rid of lice and nits from within your child's head with just one treatment.
ClearLice is the best option for you and your family to rid your lives of lice. It offers a safe and effective alternative to the chemically rich, over-the-counter lice medical treatments that have been used for years.
Head lice are ancient creatures that evolve every time they need to survive. They have adapted to become immune to many of the chemicals present inside the over-the-counter medical lice treatments. ClearLice is different. ClearLice allows you to treat your child's head lice naturally and effectively with just one treatment. It is the safest and most effective way to get rid of lice and nits in your child's head.

One Of The Biggest Video Game Franchises Might Come To The iPhone
Pokémon is the most successful and lucrative video game franchise in the world, second only to Mario. But despite Nintendo's firm stance against bringing its games to smartphones and tablets, the makers of Pokémon say there's still a possibility of playing the game on mobile devices in the future.
Junichi Masuda, the producer and cofounder of Game Freak, which first developed Pokémon, told the London press (via The Telegraph) that Pokemon for iPhone is a "possibility," even though the higher-ups at Nintendo don't seem in favor of the idea.
"I've got a bit of a resistance from those [safety and security] kind of points of view," Masuda said, referring to Nintendo's argument that communication between its 3DS handhelds are far more secure than other mobile devices.
"If it were to reach a stage where I would be happy to hand my iPhone to a 5-year-old and know that, actually, that device and everything about it is safe and secure and I can trust the device in the hands of a 5-year-old, then it would become in the realms of possibility."
Nintendo has, on numerous occasions, defended its decision not to port its games to mobile devices like iPhones, iPads, and Android devices: Nintendo CEO and President Satoru Iwata said earlier this year that option "is absolutely not under consideration. If we did this, Nintendo would cease to be Nintendo. [Making mobile games is] probably the correct decision in the sense that the moment we started to release games on smartphones we'd make profits. However, I believe my responsibility is not to short-term profits, but to Nintendo's mid- and long-term competitive strength."
That said, a Nintendo patent made public last week reveals the company might be planning to extend emulators for its handheld games — namely the Game Boy — to other devices like smartphones and even seat-back displays in airplanes. Though patents don't always see the light of day, the patent suggests Nintendo might be easing up a bit on its restrictive policies toward mobile ecosystems.
This move would make sense, since Nintendo is approaching its first annual profit in four years. But the famous video game company is still struggling to make money due to the intense competition in the mobile landscape — Nintendo's handheld games cost about $50, whereas most smartphone games typically sell for $1.99 or 99 cents. Porting some of its classic games, like Pokémon, to iPhone and Android would certainly provide a nice revenue bump.

Wine bottles lend themselves to a variety of uses throughout the home once the wine is gone. The attractively shaped and sometimes colored bottles can hold flowers, be made into candle holders or be used in a variety of crafts. The labels must be removed before reusing the bottles. Doing so without leaving behind sticky adhesive residue or damaging the glass beneath ensures your wine bottles look their best – no matter what purpose you put them to.
Step 1
Fill the sink or a large bowl with hot tap water. Lay the wine bottle in the water so the label is submerged and soak for 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 2
Lift the bottle from the water and peel off as much of the label as possible with your fingers, or scrape the label off with a plastic knife.
Step 3
Combine a squirt or two of liquid dish soap with the hot water. Dip an abrasive cloth, such as a terrycloth washcloth, in the water and scrub away the remaining adhesive.
Step 4
Dip a soft cloth into rubbing alcohol. Buff away any remaining adhesive or streaks with the alcohol.
Step 5
Rinse the soap and alcohol from the bottle with clear water. Air dry or wipe dry with a cloth.

Thursdays on the GETFIERCE page are all about challenging ourselves. These challenges are meant to build ourselves up, to feel good, to be strong and to grow! This week like the old drinking game goes, we're gonna think before we drink (& eat).
Ahhh….Miss Karr (& Dr. Christine Northrop), I SO HEART YOU!
Check out this short video from one of my favorite people on one of my favorite sites, FoodMatters.tv
Week 17: GET Real
What is the REAL reason you're eating? Is it really that you're hungry or are you filling a void that can never really be filled with food like love, sadness, fear,,.filll in your own reason. We ALL have things we're working on and food is an easy "comfort" for those situations, or so we think. No matter how many cookies we eat we can never fill up the space in our hearts with them.
I like being cold and asking a friend for a sweater. Your friend comes back with a Porsche. It may seem amazing at the time, but it doesn't help the fact that you're still freezing. We're our own best friends, we need to listen to what we need and give ourselves THAT. This week's challenge is about asking ourselves to start THINKING before we eat. Am I REALLY hungry? Is this REALLY what my body is asking me for? It's our job to find the appropriate answer for ourselves. Let's take this week to notice when we're eating and why. Is it because you're hungry or is it that you're "bored" or tired or sad? Just notice.

Human-in-the-Loop is the Future of Machine Learning
In this special guest feature, Lukas Biewald, co-founder and CEO CrowdFlower, discusses how machine learning will be the important enterprise strategy for 2016 and how humans still will play a central role in its success. As a former data scientist, Lukas was frustrated by the amount of time he had to spend cleaning and labeling data instead of actually using it to solve business problems, leading him to co-found CrowdFlower in 2009. Today, the CrowdFlower platform connects over 5 million data enrichers in almost every country who work around the clock to provide companies with clean and actionable data. Lukas graduated from Stanford University with a BS in Mathematics and an MS in Computer Science. Last year Fortune 500 CEOs were asking their teams "what's our big data strategy?" 2016…

Ohio-spawned Contra are a sludge-drenched doom four-piece who pack a groove-fuelled punch and, with the release of their new album, have proven they are hefty contenders within their field not to be messed with. Contra originally started life as a three-piece instrumental outfit comprising of guitarist Chris Chiera (Sofa King Killer), drummer Aaron Brittain (Rue), and Adam Horwatt (So Long Albatross) on a 4-string baritone guitar instead of having a traditional bass player. This incarnation of the band released their debut EP Son Of A Beast as an instrumental EP before enlisting the powerful lungs of vocalist Larry Brent, adding vocals to previously-penned songs and writing new material for this debut album Deny Everything, which is released on July 1st on Robustfellow
'Human Buzzsaw' is the opening track, and gets off to a no-nonsense start, kicking straight in with 70s-vibe hard rock riffage. Chiera wastes no time in delivering wailing guitar leads which in places are reminiscent of modern-day anthems by scene greats such as the late Hang The Bastard, and Brent's vocals add a bellowing, gravelly, undeniable Brian Fallon likeness to what is a pounding opening track. There's naturally going to be a comparison to Bongcouldron by the British stoner fan club, and hell, that's no bad thing. The album's namesake is derived from a line in this track which is thumping and groovy for the most part, slowing down in the final throws until it's a thick swamp of sludge for the closing 30 seconds. Pursuing the battering ram of the opening track is 'Snake Goat; perhaps a slightly cliché title for a doom track, but this guaranteed hit has earned the right to bare that title. It's a groove-laden sludge smash hit, with powerful riffs you can't help but nod your head to. Brittain drives this encumbered force while Chiera's sleek guitar hooks give the track some air guitar-ring material, and there's a saucy breakdown just crying out for some air-punch hand gesturing.
'Altered Beast' has remained an instrumental and is a serious foot-tapper, boasting groovy riffs and even featuring a fitting appearance from a cowbell, a track that clearly didn't need much tampering with since the original EP. The track ebbs and flows through a few different riff ideas and the main hook is excellent. Chiera finds ample opportunities to solo over the varying riffs that drive this chugging tune, which changes its feel at the midway point; once Brittain switches to the ride symbol the track consequently could be mistaken for the outro to an epic. But before you get too comfortable, that first riff rolls back around and carries you to the end of a monumental track.
'One Hundred Hand Slap' is another potential single. Within the first ten seconds you're hailing the riff. It's slick and simultaneously meaty. The rest of the album continues handing out the heavy, dealing polished, monolithic riffage, before coming to the monumental closer 'Shrimp Cocktail': mighty guitar and thumping breakdowns trudging relentlessly for eight sinister anticipatory minutes. The pinnacle of this track is the stoner middle portion. A steady repetitive riff drives the section with an imperturbable persistent rhythm section hammering the snare, characteristic of the heavy stoner sound. Vocals return, Chiera sprinkles the odd solo, and the band gradually returns us from the desert to the swamp.
When you've got an album cover as bad ass as two muscular gorillas fighting mythical sea monsters and werewolves with guns, you need the soundtrack to match, and Deny Everything certainly delivers. You might not have heard of Contra, but one listen to this album of stoned doom dripping in sludge, and it's clear they're ready to take a rightful place beside other acclaimed contributors of the current scene.
