When we take in a pet, it is a lifetime commitment to provide for them, love them, and treat them as we would any other member of the family. It's more than just a promise to feed and water them. It's a special bond between human and animal that shouldn't be taken lightly.
But, in reality, sometimes bonds aren't enough to make a relationship work. Just as in any adult relationship, sometimes the situation is not beneficial to either party and it's best to find a new arrangement. It can be heartbreaking, but sometimes, despite a pet parent's best efforts, they may find themselves needing to rehome a pet.
No matter what the reason, it can be devastating to rehome a pet. So, before you do, ask yourself if you've explored all the options.
If you're ready to rehome your pet, here are some dos and don'ts:
Rehoming a pet can be a tough situation. But, in an era of online networking and non-profits looking to help, the time has never been better to seek a better arrangement for your cat or dog.

Congratulations to February InveStar winner, Chuck Phillips!
InveStars started off in February with a bang! Chuck Phillips from the Minneapolis center has earned the title of February InveStar with his video on "Tell us about your first winning trade". Chuck will be heading to Southern California in the summer as the winner of a free trip!
It's still not too late to help the InveStar in your center tell their story and help other students in their educational journey.
Shout out to the following centers for driving student entries!
· Charlotte
· Dubai
· Kansas City
· Minneapolis
Each month we will have a new topic:
Our next topic in March is: Tell us about your favorite instructor. How has an instructor helped take your trading to the next level?
Many of our student's lives are touched by the care and hard work of our OTA instructors. This can serve as a great way for a student to pay homage to their favorite instructor and share with the community about how OTA is not just about education, we are about people.
And remember, one entry will be chosen for a special trip to OTA Irvine for a 2-day, 3-night stay. While there, they will enjoy special VIP treatment including: a guest spot on Power Trading Radio, one-on-one time with a top instructor and executive team members, and more.
I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to all centers for driving this program forward and enabling students to "pay it forward" with their stories of inspiration and encouragement! Let's keep the momentum going!

Whether you are a Republican or Democrat; conservative or progressive, what is going on in Washington D.C. has got to make you sick to your stomach. As recent as 1970, our nation had virtually no debt but in the past 40 years we have amassed almost $15 trillion in debt, bringing us to the cusp of bankruptcy. And all our government officials can do is ask for permission to go further into debt.
Both parties—Republican and Democratic leaders—lack the courage to do what is right and drastically reduce spending. So how did we get here? Well it started in the 1960s with President Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society"—a plan to end poverty and provide a safety net for Americans. Well sadly all that has accomplished is to turn us into a nation of people who think we are entitled to anything we think we need. We are seeing third and fourth generations of welfare families and an entire nation of whiners who look to the government to provide for us.
And all the time Republicans blame Democrats and Democrats blame Republicans. But the fact is Washington D.C. is a cesspool and whenever well intentioned people go there to clean things up, they usually get sucked in to the desire for power and wealth—and they usually become part of the problem.
OK, I'm done ranting—so you might be asking "What does this have to do with us as Christians and our walk with God?" A lot. It comes down to a simple question: Who do we trust for our future? The government that controls our lives financially and socially more each day? Or God? When the financial crisis hits us hard—and it will—will we turn to the government or to God?
Look at Matthew 6:24. Jesus says: "No man can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money."
Well Christians in America may very soon be in a position where they will choose which master they will love—and which they will hate. So be in God's Word, praying continually. Dedicate yourselves to serving only God and trusting in Him no matter our circumstances. Very tough times might be just around the corner. And the faith we claim in Jesus will be put to the test. Choose this day who you will worship and trust—man or God.

Jordan's Next Protro React Yells Out in Yellow
If Jordan Brand's new Proto React model's ultra-futuristic design isn't in your face enough — this hella-yella pair will surely command your attention.
When basic block coloring like this appears, it typically leaves room for the design ethos to do the taking — but in this rare instance, it's the wild all-yellow upper that speaks louder than the design itself. Matches with an all-white sole unit, the simplified yet amplified colorway is not one for the faint of heart.
And with a colorway so damn loud, it's hard to hear myself think — so I'll let the official images below do the talking for me. So grab a look at the pair below, which will release at select stores and online at Nike.com over the coming weeks.
Tune into our Release Calendar to stay up to date with Jordan release dates, add reminders directly to your calendar and find direct links for each drop!

There's Always a "Secret" Backdoor…
By Vic Johnson
It took me 50 years to write my first book. I've written twelve more since. More than half of them have been legitimate Amazon bestsellers. I recently wrote one in a weekend. Yes, one whole weekend. So why did it take so long to write the first one? Lots of the same reasons that most people have. Too many responsibilities. Not enough time. Kids, work, etc.
But the real reason it took me so long is because I didn't believe I could do it. I just imagined, from everything I had heard, that it was a tough process. All I could picture was Hemingway hunched over his Corona typewriter for weeks at a time, stopping only occasionally to slug down a martini.
When I finally made up my mind that I was going to do it one way or another, I did a lot of research on the book business. What I found was amazing and very encouraging.
The first thing I discovered was that many of the millions of books sold every year are "information" books. Written for people who are looking for a solution, like How To Invest, How To Eat, How To Plant a Garden, How To, How To, How To.
There's no plot and there are no characters to create. It's much simpler than that. (1) Identify the problem(s), (2) Identify the solution(s), (3) Research the solution(s), (4) Provide the solutions in an easy-to-read A-Z format.
Then I discovered that there were so many ways to create a book other than sitting at a keyboard. For instance, you can create an outline and record a presentation like you were speaking to an audience. Then have it transcribed and turn it over to a freelance writer/editor and have them organize the information into book form.
Self-improvement legend Brian Tracy, who has more than 50 books published in 38 languages says, "Dictating your book is one of the most powerful exercises I have ever discovered, and dramatically increases the speed at which you create your initial manuscript. When you dictate you're forced to write in a conversational tone of voice. This adds warmth to your material, and makes it easier and more enjoyable to read for the reader." I've done that several times and scored with "Top 10 in Category" eBooks. I even wrote a book (that became an Amazon bestseller) showing others how to do that.
But the biggest reason I finally made the plunge and why it's gotten easier ever since is because I began to believe that I was just as worthy of being a published author as anyone else. I've read many so-called "bestsellers" and marveled at how boring and poorly written they were. I figured that if they could do it with no more than that, then I was a cinch.
The book business, as every other business, has some secret backdoors that make the process much simpler for those who know where the doors are. I can show you those doors and I can show you how easy it is to walk through them.
I can even believe for you that you can write your book if you're not quite sure yet that you can. YOU CAN DO THIS! I know that for a fact, because I've done it, I've shown thousands of others how to do it, and you can too. All you have to do is get started. As the explorer W.H. Murray said, "The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would otherwise never have occurred."
Keep Reading to for a special tip on how to find the secret back door to your dreams…
The Simple Formula to automatic cash with e-books…
"Hi Kristen, Thank you so much for all the good stuff you're sharing. Taking the time to listen to people like you is so refreshing, so enlightening. God bless you!
Quick Tip
This "secret back door" philosophy that Vic shared with us today applies to EVERYTHING. So you can start using this approach to finally do some of the things you felt were out of reach, let's look at the 7 steps you can take right now…
1. Acknowledge whatever limiting belief has been holding you back (and acknowledge that it is a belief NOT fact.)
2. Decide to "do it, no matter what!"
3. Do some research so you let go of assumptions.
4. Brainstorm "Other Ways" that you might not have thought of before.
5. Break down the "Other Ways" into small steps.
6. Take 1 Step of small action at a time.
7. Notice how your initial limiting belief has transformed into positive belief!

It's Not Just You — Those Pregnancy Pounds Are Hard to Lose
Sometimes, when I look around at all of those mothers who seemingly never gain weight during their pregnancies — you know, the moms with the stick arm and legs and the cute basketball bellies, or the moms who are back in bikinis weeks after giving birth? — I wonder, maybe I'm exaggerating how hard it is for me to lose weight.
Because the thing is, I've gained a lot of weight with my pregnancies. A lot. Over 200 pounds gained and lost so far with four pregnancies, and I'm here today — the heaviest I've been in my whole life with a 5-month-old baby and an addiction to Jillian Michael's workouts.
But still, the weight stays on.
{ MORE: What You Need to Know About Postpartum Exercise }
I've wondered if maybe it's just me. Maybe I just eat too many cookies, and I'm just trying to fool myself into thinking that I actually enjoy vegetables. Maybe if I just tried harder I really could lose all of the weight and have a perfectly flat stomach.
Luckily for me, some new reports show that I'm definitely not alone in the struggle to lose the baby weight.
According to a new study, nearly one-third of 800 low-income women who were studied that were of normal weight before pregnancy were overweight or obese one year after childbirth. Over 75% of the women were heavier at one year after baby, and just about one-quarter of the mothers were carting around a good extra 20 pounds after giving birth.
{ MORE: 4 Ways to Stretch Your Maternity Wardrobe into Fall }
Despite the fact that, on average, the women in the study gained 32 pounds during their pregnancies — a number within the normal, recommended range for weight gain during pregnancy — the study's lead doctor blamed the fact that the postpartum pounds tend to stick around on pregnant women who gain too much weight during pregnancy. "The biggest problem is that a large number of women gain too much during pregnancy," Dr. Loraine Endres explained. "The more you gain, the harder it is to ever lose that weight."
Thanks for that tip, Dr. Endres. But frankly, I am sick and tired of hearing that pregnant women aren't supposed to gain weight. What do you think nature intended? For women to stay slender and their babies to only take what is prudently necessary? Um, no. It makes sense, from a purely biological and survival standpoint, that nature would prefer if a pregnant mom — and soon-to-be-nursing mother — kept some fat on her body as fuel for that little, growing one she is supposed to nourish. Good grief.
Honestly, I'm over feeling the pressure to stay perfectly skinny during pregnancy and for it to be a point of pride to look like a Victoria's Secret model immediately after giving birth. Look, I'm all about working out and eating right and staying healthy, but I am also 100% OK with the fact that my body gains weight during pregnancy — and that the weight tends to stick around until I'm done breastfeeding.
If so many mothers gain "too much" weight during pregnancy and postpartum and have trouble losing it, here's a novel thought: why don't we consider the fact that it's normal to gain a little extra fat and focus on some of the ways that it could benefit moms and babies to just chill out, breastfeed whenever possible, and focus on enjoying that time after birth, instead of hitting the gym?
Anyone with me?

On April 6 in New York City, we rallied runners, walkers, and supporters for a 4-mile run in Central Park to raise awareness, hope, and $100K for 83,000 people in Cité Soleil, Haiti.
Cité Soleil
Known to some as the "Western hemisphere's worst slum," we know Cité Soleil as a resilient, proud, vibrant community in the heart of Haiti's capital city, Port-au-Prince. Chronic poverty and a vulnerability to natural disasters and climate change have combined to create massive obstacles to health, education, and livelihoods. But relative peace has settled over a once-violent landscape. It's a place where people are committed to changing their own lives for the better, and we're committed to helping them.
1) Clearing polluted waterways to fight disease and destruction
Cité Soleil sits precariously at the very bottom of Port-au-Prince's hilly terrain, on a floodplain bordering the seashore. The city's garbage chokes the canals that are meant to channel floodwaters away from the community, leaving Cité Soleil vulnerable to disease and disaster.
We'll use excavators and new garbage trucks to clear out that deadly waste from polluted waterways, and we'll construct new ones: bridges, paths, and channels to prevent even minor rains from needlessly flooding homes, schools, and streets.
The outcome: cleaner water, less disease, and more stable lives.
2) Using life-skills, vocational, and emergency training to build secure futures
The focus on educational needs in Haiti has often justifiably centered on primary-age children. After all, the damage caused by the 2010 earthquake alone was on a generational scale: at least 4,000 schools were destroyed. And, in communities like Cité Soleil, poverty, poor health, and lack of infrastructure compound the problem.
We have a long history of working to improve primary education, but our efforts in Cité Soleil focus on adults. We are aiming to help build a generation of workers and entrepreneurs through cash grants as well as training in sewing, cooking, and use of heavy machinery. Those who are not able to read and write are receiving literacy training, which is literally transforming lives.
Resilience is not just about building secure livelihoods, however. We'll also make sure adults are ready to protect their families and communities in the next emergency, and supply them with first aid kits, flashlights, whistles, and other necessary supplies.
3) Peace building
Concern has a two-decade tradition of cultivating peace in communities where violence once reigned.
"Concern changed my whole attitude to life. I went from a negative person to a positive person."
— Bien-Aimé Marconel
Cité Soleil had been among the most violent, but today, old neighborhood rivalries have been put aside. It requires hard work and the credibility that comes with a commitment to listening and empowering communities to change their own futures. It's about fostering dialogue within and between communities, and gaining the support of local and national government. Most importantly, it's about protecting the most vulnerable — women and children — by ensuring all parties have a stake in their health and safety.
Progress is evident, but we cannot forget the thousands who continue to live in unimaginable poverty.
While we directly reached 700,000 Haitian people over 9 years through emergency and recovery programs, hard work lies ahead to reverse one the world's worst humanitarian crises.
The Spring Run
The Spring Run for Haiti, a 4-mile run/walk in Central Park on April 6, brought together 1,000+ supporters who raised $100,000 to reach 83,000 people in Cité Soleil. You'll receive updates throughout the year to see your contribution in action.
Our history in Haiti
We've operated in Haiti for over 25 years, through a series of disasters and crises beginning with Hurricane Gordon in 1994. After the 2010 earthquake, we were on the ground responding immediately, working hand-in-hand with communities. Here are a few of the things we've been able to achieve in just the past 9 years:
- Provided small cash grants of $75 or more to help 7,500 women restart their market businesses after the 2010 earthquake
- Built hundreds of bathrooms, sanitation facilities, and 55,000 shelters
- Created 8 outpatient therapeutic centers screening and treating thousands of sick and hungry children and their mothers
- Established 5 learning centers and trained 80 teachers and 5 directors
- Provided rental support to over 7,000 families for one year after the earthquake
- Cash-for-work programs, including one that hired 250 families to rebuild more than 4,000 miles of road
- Organized an association for 1,500 mango and avocado farmers, doubling production and increasing the price of their goods fivefold
- Helped 7,600 men and women to protect local fisheries and improve income, sustainability, and food security
- Hundreds of thousands of distributions, including water, food, shelter repair kits, hygiene kits, sanitary napkins, tarpaulins, jerry cans, mosquito nets, water purification tablets, tents, and more
- Helped remove millions of tons of rubble and trash

Blowers and Backers are back again by popular demand! The two rogues are doing a handful of special Autumn performances after their hit 2016 Spring extension tour, 'Rogues on the Road' – crammed full of even more wonderful (and occasionally outrageous) anecdotes from two extensive careers. We're delighted that they've chosen to bring their tour to the inaugural Gloucester Comedy Festival!
Henry 'My Dear Old Thing' Blofeld is one of Britain's most loved and recognisable broadcasters, while legendary producer of TMS Peter Baxter has been corralling lost passports, misplaced visas, and errant broadcasters for over 34 years.
Bastions of the beloved Test Match Special with over 80 years in the commentary box and touring the world between them, Henry and Peter have some tales to tell. The fun, games and outlandish characters from Ian Fleming to Noel Coward spread well beyond the confines of any cricket ground or studio.
"An hour of laughter... Everybody will leave satisfied" 5 stars (British Theatre Guide)
"The duos antics on the road are rip-roaring... Makes for hilarious viewing" (Evening Standard)
"All that's missing is the distant knock of leather on willow" 4 stars (Times)
"A show that is not so much about the cricket as about what happens in the commentary box and beyond" (Telegraph)

In the East Jerusalem neighbourhood of Silwan, Palestinian children play surrounded by heavily armed officers and large Israeli flags fluttering on top of the nearest settlements. Silwan is a highly militarized area due to the presence of Jewish settlements in the occupied neighbourhood, where around 500 settlers live among 45 000 Palestinians.
According to the Israeli human rights organisation B'Tselem, the settlements "infringe the right of the local Palestinians to freedom of movement, privacy and security." The constant presence of security forces "intimidate the residents" and limit their movements, even of children wanting to play near their homes. Bashar Jamal, advocacy offer for Defense for Children International, warns that children in Silwan are "subjected to various forms of violence". Experts are concerned about the psychological toll of the violence in the neighbourhood, as children suffer from fear and anxiety.
At Madaa, a community center founded in 2007, volunteers organize sport, art and creative writing activities. The center is aimed at offering children a safe place to gather, and providing them with educational and recreational activities.
Words by Marta Vidal, Jerusalem, February 2016.
"When I go to school the soldiers are always there. Once there were clashes close to my school, there was a lot of tear gas. I don't like the stun grenades, the sound is frightening. Sometimes when I have to pass by soldiers I am afraid one of the boys will do something and the soldiers might arrest us," says 12-year-old Amjad.
"I don't like it when I see other children getting arrested. I'm afraid every time I see soldiers", Kadar, 8 years old.
"Life in Silwan is beautiful, but it is dangerous for children because of the army and settlers", Mala, 13 years old.
"I organize activities for children, and when I ask them to draw something they draw soldiers and children being arrested," says Tala Serhan, librarian and youth coordinator at the local organisation Madaa Creative Center. "I ask them to draw other things, but they say this is what they see and it impacts them a lot," she says.
"My dream is to become a famous doctor. I want to heal people here in Silwan", Omar, 10 years old.

Why Should You Care about PSD2?
The revised Payment Services Directive (PSD2) is major payments legislation in the European Union (EU) that is intended to provide consumers increased competition, innovation, and security in banking and payment services. PSD2 specifications were released by the European Banking Authority in November 2017 and requires all companies in the EU to be in compliance by September 14, 2019. Earlier this year, the European Banking Authority had refused a request by numerous stakeholders in the payments industry for a blanket delay of the regulation, citing a lack of legal authority to do so, although it announced it would permit local regulatory authorities to extend compliance deadlines a "limited additional time." In the United Kingdom, however, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) announced on August 7 that it was deferring general enforcement of the PSD2 authentication provisions until March 2021, and allowing the industry an additional six months beyond that to develop more advanced forms of authentication. The Central Bank of Ireland has also granted an extension that is expected to be similar to the FCA's, but one has not been announced as of this writing.
The PSD2 has two major requirements: offer open banking and strong customer authentication (SCA). With open banking, consumers can authorize financial services providers to access and use their financial data that another financial institution is holding. (Application programming interfaces, or APIs, allow that access.) The FCA had mandated that open banking for U.K. banks be in place by early 2018 while the rest of the EU kept the open banking compliance deadline the same as that for SCA compliance. While open banking represents a major change in the EU's financial services landscape, the rest of this post focuses on the PSD2's strong customer authentication requirements.
Generally, PSD2 requires financial service providers to implement multi-factor authentication for in-person and remote financial transactions performed through any payment channel. As we have discussed before in this blog, there are three main authentication factor categories:
- Something you know (for example, PIN or password)
- Something you have (for example, chip card, mobile phone, or hardware token)
- Something you are (for example, biometric modality such as fingerprints or facial or voice recognition)
PSD2 compliance requires the user to be authenticated using elements from at least two of these categories. For payments that are transacted remotely, authentication tokens linking the specific transaction amount and the payee's account number are an additional requirement.
The regulation provides for a number of exemptions to the SCA requirement. Key exemptions include:
- Low-value transactions (under €30, approximately $33)
- Transactions with businesses that the consumer identifies as trusted
- Recurring transactions for consistent amounts after SCA is used for the first transaction. If the amount changes, SCA is required.
- "Low-risk" transactions based on the acquirer's overall fraud rate calculated on a 90-day basis. Transaction values can be as high as €500 (about $555).
- Mail-order and telephone-order payments, since they are not considered electronic payments covered by the regulation
- Business-to-business (B2B) payments
Since PSD2 does not apply to payments where the acquirer or the issuer is not based in the EU, why would understanding this regulation be important to non-EU consumers and payment system stakeholders? From 2015 through 2018, the Federal Reserve established and provided leadership for the Secure Payments Task Force as it identified ways to enhance payments security, especially for remote payments. One critical need the task force identified is stronger identity authentication. So far, the United States has avoided any legislation concerning authentication, but will actions like the PSD2 create pressures to mandate such protections here? Or will the industry continue to work together through efforts like the FedPayments Improvement Community to develop improved authentication approaches? Please let us know what you think.

Industries. Financial Services. Solutions
Case Study
Reduce workforce and increase productivity
BEDMAS helps customers work smarter. Our team was called upon to assist a financial services industry client when it identified its main challenge as inefficiency. The workforce in place was unable to manage the high volume of incoming workflow and the company had considered adding additional employees to accelerate production.
Based on a thorough up-front analysis of this business's objectives and operations, we determined that a move from a paper- and fax-based system to an online interface was a simpler and more cost-effective way to accomplish their goals. The scope of the work included the design and execution of a Unix based (Solaris) operating system that would determine the approval status for basic leases and final on-site testing of the system.
The project timeline was set as 24 months; however, due to increasing our internal resources for the project, BEDMAS delivered and implemented the interface within just 16 months. With the BEDMAS solution in place, the new system could determine whether or not to approve a lease in 60% of basic cases. This effectively reduced the need to add new employees and increased the number of leases written by 53%.

Bello Family Vineyards was founded by proprietor Michael Bello in 2004. Michael comes from Orange County in Southern California where he founded Bello Construction Co., a residential home sub contracting business. Two of his dreams were to make world class wine and get into the horse racing business. He began to take steps towards the former of these two interests in 2000 when he purchased a piece of premium vineyard real estate in Rutherford (near St. Supery winery). Soon after, he built a beautiful French styled farmhouse and began to plan on making wine. He hired some of the most sought out individuals in the valley to help him pursue his goals. David Abreu managed their original estate vineyard and Aaron Pott was hired to make the wine (Aaron is no longer the winemaker).
Michael has been involved in horse racing for many years; in 2001 he located and purchased a small thoroughbred racehorse in the UK called Megahertz. He brought her back to the USA; this filly became a winner from her first race in 2002 at Santa Anita Park and would ultimately win 14 races before retiring. And every year they produce a wine in this horses honor. Today, Michael remains heavily involved in horse racing and owns a number of race horses.
The focus of their wine-making has always been on Cabernet Sauvignon (with a focus on the Rutherford Appellation in Napa Valley) – however they also produce Chardonnay every year – and in years past produced a delicious Marsanne.
The 2009 hillside grown Marsanne is blended with 25% Viognier. Aromatically this is a pretty wine, revealing stone fruit – white peach, honeysuckle, vanilla and just a hint of oak on the bouquet. The entry on the palate is rich – this is a balanced wine with no trace of oak on the finish. It has good acidity, is not too crisp and not too heavy either.
The 2009 Megahertz Cabernet Sauvignon is reasonably priced by Napa standards with fruit from several premium area vineyards including from Michael's own estate in Rutherford. The nose is very aromatic – somewhat floral with a hint of smokiness. The palate is lighter in style, notes of cranberry and raspberry with delicate tannins anchor the clean finish.
The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon is blended slightly with Petit Verdot and Malbec. This wine is dark in the glass with a sweet nose featuring ripe dark fruit – blackberry, black cherry. There is a core of sweet fruit throughout the palate – with a finish decidedly bigger than the Megahertz. Smoke, leather and dark fruit show on the palate. This wine is well layered on the palate and as it opens it becomes much more expressive on the bouquet.
During the first few years of their production most of their wine was sold through their mailing list and select restaurants without a retail outlet. That changed however, in August 2012 when Bello Family opened an opulent tasting room and retail outlet in the south part of the town of St. Helena – however Bello Family closed and moved out of this tasting room in early 2016.
Michael's former wife, Nancy had her own food line under the label "Nonna Nunzi" and these items were available at one point for purchase via their website including olives, tomato basil spread, artichoke spreads and more.
Today, Michael's son Christopher has taken over as the winemaker and manages all the day to day operations. His wife Chloe runs Alexandrie Cellars – and in Spring 2017 they released their first wine, a sparkling brut – for more information visit: www.alexandriecellars.com
NOTE: the former St. Helena located Bello Family tasting room was purchased by Yao Ming of Yao Ming Wines. Tastings at Bello Family are now by appointment only – after the sale of their tasting room, we heard very limited tastings were being held at their estate in Rutherford (but as of our most recent update, we heard their property has since sold and have noticed the sign on the gate at the entrance to the properties' olive lined driveway has changed names).
This review has been identified as needing a **major** update.
The total production each year of Bello Family Vineyards is around several thousand cases. For more information and or to join the appropriately named Megahertz Wine Club, visit: www.bellofamilyvineyards.com

Level 4 ATK and DEF Rules
The ATK and DEF of a Level 4 or lower monster tend to be limited by two unwritten rules: the "2000 ATK Rule" and the "2300 DEF Rule". These rules state that for a Level 4 monster to have an ATK or DEF equal to or higher than these values, it must have some kind of negative effect or other restriction (such as being a Nomi monster). For example, "Meklord Emperor Wisel" is a Level 1 Monster Card that has 2500 ATK and DEF; however, it cannot be Normal Summoned or Set.
Rule of 2000 ATKEdit
The "Rule of 2000 ATK" states that if a monster has 2000 or more ATK, it must have some negative effect or other restriction to limit its playability. For example, "Thunder King Rai-Oh" has 1900 ATK and is thus permitted to have a beneficial card effect, but "Panther Warrior" and "Zombyra the Dark" have 2000 and 2100 ATK respectively, and thus have the negative effects of requiring a Tribute in order to attack and losing ATK upon attacking, respectively.
Several Level 4 Normal Monsters have 2000 ATK, outclassing monsters with 2000 ATK and negative effects. They all have either 100 or 0 DEF. There are currently 10 such monsters: "Alexandrite Dragon", "Gene-Warped Warwolf", "Leotron", "Megalosmasher X", "Mekk-Knight Avram", "Mystery Shell Dragon", "Phantom Gryphon", "Photon Token", "Shiny Black "C" Squadder", "Zombino".
Level 4 or lower Monster Cards with 2000 ATK or moreEdit
There are currently 95 Level 4 or lower monsters with 2000 ATK or more in the TCG/OCG.
Rule of 2300 DEFEdit
The "Rule of 2300 DEF" states that if a monster has 2300 or more DEF, it must have some negative effect or other restriction. For example, "Gladiator Beast Hoplomus" and "Gear Golem the Moving Fortress" have 2100 and 2200 DEF respectively, and are allowed to have positive effects, while "Big Shield Gardna" has 2600 DEF and has the negative effect of being forced to switch to its weak Attack Position after being attacked.
Currently, no cards in the OCG/TCG break this rule.
There are currently 14 Level 4 or lower monsters with 2300 DEF or more in the TCG/OCG.

I owe you the second half of my "introduceyourself". In my first post I wrote about my activities in the Bitcoin universe and as a film producer, but I am also a political animal. Over the years I have developed from a social democrat (most Germans are social democrats, don't ask me why) to a die-hard libertarian.
In 2009 I was a member of the federal board of the Pirate Party Germany and got heavily involved in the federal elections of that year. It was a fun time, with lots of great rallyes and media activities. Here is a music video we made for our election campaign - a punk rock version of an old German sailor's song:
I have always liked the articles of the Pirate Party's founder Rick Falkvinge. His ideas and the early programmatic agenda of the party are clearly libertarian, so I joined his party and got elected to the federal board just a few weeks later. The Pirates had a real boom then, growing from 1000 to more than 10,000 members in just a few months. When we presented our campaign in August 2009, about 100 journalists were present and this short documentary was produced and aired by German public TV:
During the summer of 2009 I gave numerous interviews for TV, radio and print media and I learned a lot about political campaigning. We reached about 3% of the votes in that election, not bad for a young party, but not enough to pass the 5% threshold to enter the German parliament.
The provisional agenda of the early days, which focussed on protecting citizen's rights in the digital age, had to be broadened. For me it would have been only logical to develop a party that fights against the surveillance state into a voluntarist, free-market party that fights the interventionist state in all areas. But it showed that despite its libertarian roots most of the new pirate members were socialists, so my positions were not very popular.
When I wrote some blog posts against political Islam and for Israel's right to protect itself against the nuclear threat by the Islamic State of Iran, the left wing of the Pirate Party got completely crazy. Someone even made strange caricatures of me. It's hard to understand how a portrait of me in a Hitler uniform fits to my pro-Israel stance, but left-wingers are not necessarily the most logical people.
When I left the Pirate party in May 2010, I had become notorious and fiercely hated, which surprised me, as I am not used to hate in the business realm, but it also amused me a bit.
I then tried to found a Libertarian party called "Die Freiheit" (= liberty), but I made the mistake to partner up with the wrong people. They shared my critical view of political Islam, but came from a conservative, not a libertarian background, so we did not come to a consensus on many things. Consequently, this project was a flop, it scored less than 1% at the local Berlin elections and got quickly dissolved.
Through these experiences I got a bit disenchanted about party politics. So I was happy when Bitcoin came along. It gave me the possibility to work for a highly political project without having to deal with party politics - and what could be more political than to undermine the power of banks and goverments?
I am also interested in all plans to found micro-states based on libertarian principles, such as Liberland, Seasteading or Free Private Cities. I think it makes more sense to build up new projects that prove to be better than the status quo, rather than trying to change a doomed system from the inside.
So my political activities in the future will definitely not be inside the old system of parties and elections, but in disrupting the old system and helping to build up something new and superior: things like Bitcoin or Steemit.

Home › Forums › Discussions › Support Portal › Service doesn't work after sleep › Re: Re: Service doesn't work after sleep
All attempts to get the service to reactivate itself failed. All attempts to get the restart service option to do the job resulted in a hung service manager thread with a status of "Stopping". In order to restart an application, I would normally pass control and a handle to a second program or script to kill the application, wait an appropriate period, restart the application, and then kill the second application itself. Being a service, this approach was not too appealing, but the following code did the job after it detected no ethernet traffic:
Service1.Connect 'This command stops the service?
Shell ("net start ServiceName") 'This command starts the service!
The System event log shows the service being stopped and then started with the same time stamp. 2 seconds later, my own log file shows the service actually being started. This is the first time I have ever got an application to restart itself, and I can't explain how or why.

Soggy Guys are enemies that appear in Paper Mario: Color Splash. They are created when a Shy Guy falls in water. Their appearance is that of a Red Shy Guy, but the colors are blurry and the Soggy Guy is folded a bit at the top, and they don't move their arms when they walk. When they see Mario, they try to chase after him. They attack like a Shy Guy in battle.
However, not all Soggy Guys are enemies. One gives Mario an extra card slot in Cherry Lake for defeating a stack of Shy Guys who have been harassing him.
Soggy Guys appear in levels such as Cherry Lake, Indigo Underground or Violet Passage.

Thyroid hormone is responsible for the regulating the metabolic rate of every cell in the body Since every cell in the body depends on its metabolism to perform its function, when the thyroid system is malfunctioning it can affect every system of the body. Thyroid malfunction is very serious. It can cause death whether it is too high or too low. Low thyroid is by far the most common. Low thyroid function causes lowered body temperature, weight gain, elevated cholesterol, increased rates of atherosclerosis, heart failure and heart attacks. It is a common cause of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndromes. It can cause menstrual irregularities and difficulties (heavy flow, irregular flow, painful menses), as well as fertility problems, problems getting pregnant and difficulty staying pregnant to term. If low thyroid function is severe and left untreated, it can even cause coma and death.
In response to a hormonal signal from the brain, the thyroid gland makes and releases thyroxine into the blood stream This thyroxine molecule is also known as T4 because there are 4 iodide ions attached to it. Thyroxine (or T4) is not very active in telling your body cells how fast to run their metabolism. T4 circulates until it leaves the bloodstream and enters the fluid space around the body cells. There is an enzyme which removes one of the iodide ions to turn T4 into T3. T3 is the active form of thyroid hormone and is very good at binding to the cell thyroid hormone receptors and telling the cells how fast to run their metabolism.
Most physicians were taught to measure TSH from the hypothalamus and T4 or free T4, and to balance this relationship. However, this approach may miss many patients with low functioning thyroids. T3 is the active form of the hormone and does 95% of the work at the cellular level. Often patients with hypothroidism are treated with levothyroxine (Synthroid® or Levoxyl®) and lab testing may show normal TSH and T4 levels, yet the patient continues to not feel well. At SARAH, LLC we measure TSH, bio-available free T-3, free T-4, Reverse T-3, Total T4 and T3, anti-thyroid antibodies and, sometimes we measure the amount of thyroid carrier protein, TBG as well.
We understand that in a high percent of cases the Adrenal glands may be underperforming as well, and unless this issue is addressed, the correction of the thyroid problem simply is not going to occur.
Vitamin D deficiencies can also complicate this issue, as well as iodine levels. In most parts of the US, iodine is deficient in the soil plants grow in, thus it is deficient in our foods. Fluoride and Bromine both have greater affinity for the serum protein binding sites than iodine. It is interesting that when it was determined we may be getting to much Iodine in our diets and Iodine was taken out of foods, the rate of breast cancer started rising, a suspicious relationship.
When we approach Thyroid Issues we not only evaluate iodine levels, but also look at adrenal function as well. We were created with an incredible harmony in the function of our bodies, and we are looking to simply recreate that symphony, without causing bigger problems.
Detection of Thyroid Disease
The problem is, much thyroid disease is not detected in the United States. Most doctors are trained to only check TSH and T4 levels and rely completely on those values no matter what symptoms the patient may be having. Even many endocrinologists often say that, "If the TSH is normal, the patient does not have hypothyroidism. Period." this despite the fact that multiple studies have demonstrated that TSH by itself is a lousy indicator of thyroid disease.
There are several ways to have low thyroid function. The thyroid gland could produce too little thyroxine, (Actually, there are several causes of not enough thyroxine production.), the body could be bad at converting T4 to T3 (either by not converting it, or converting it incorrectly into reverse-T3, a form not metabolically active), or the body could have a problem that in some way prevents the T3 from working properly in the cell (Secondary Hypothyroidism). The problem with the "standard" thyroid tests utilized by most physicians, is that it will only detect low thyroid function if there is too little thyroid hormone in the blood. It will pick it up if the TSH is elevated, but the TSH is usually only elevated if the thyroid hormone in the blood is very low anyway. The other ways to have low thyroid function are usually not tested for by physicians traditionally trainned to look only at the TSH and T4 tests.
Thyroid Replacement Therapy
The best form of thyroid hormone replacement therapy would include both T4 and T3, and have a natural, physiologic ratio between the two. Levo-thyroxine (Synthroid®, Levoxyl®) whether generic or brand name, is a synthetic form of T4 only. Liothyronine (Cytomel®) is a synthetic form of T3 only. However, there is a thyroid hormone replacement that is bio-identical (natural to the human body) and comes in a natural T4/T3 ratio. These are the dessicated porcine products, of which Armour Thyroid is probably the most famous. However, porcine means from the pig. If someone has a religious reason for not consuming pig products, or if someone has Hashimotos Thyroiditis (an auto-immune condition where antibodies are formed against the thyroid), then synthetics are the only choice for thyroid HRT.
Dessicated porcine products (Armour, Nature-Throid, Westhroid) are superior to the synthetics for most people. This is my clinical experience as well as that of many other physicians. This conclusion was also backed up by a study published by the New England Journal of Medicine in 1999. This study showed that when patients were switched from synthetic to Armour, most had symptom improvement across multiple symptoms assessed. No one was noted to have improvement in any of the studied symptom categories when being switched away from Armour to the synthetic. Your doctor may prescibe a form of T3 (T3SR) which is sustained release as an alternative to immediate release T3 (Cytomel) so as to provide a longer and more consistent level of the T3 hormone. Sustained release T3 must be prepared by a compounding pharmacy.
No food for two hours before, or one hour after taking this medicine. Thyroid hormone should be taken with water only. Coffee and other drinks can interfere with the absorption of thyroid hormone as well as the iodine which the body needs in sufficient quantities for proper thyroid hormone metabolism and function.

Having a clear understanding of your customers will help you increase sales and achieve a better growth rate. By understanding who your customers are and what they want, you can provide them with a better experience and keep them coming back. Learn how to gain consumer insights for your business and how to leverage the information you uncover to your strategic advantage.
Research Industry Trends
Stay on top of industry trends to find out what consumers needs are. You can read blog updates, industry magazines, or even research papers to stay updated on what's buzzing in your industry. This research is of a more general nature as opposed to some of the following methods.
Analyze Your Data
Collecting customer data is one of the most important things you should do. Using tools such as Google Analytics or a CRM such as Salesforce, you can learn everything there is to know about your customers, including their demographics, countries, interests, and much more. You should also dive deeper into your data to discover information about customers' search histories, purchases, likes, dislikes, and so on.
An important thing to remember is to track your customers over their entire lifecycle. Customer tracking will help you discover trends and fix issues that are causing declining sales rates.
Ask for Feedback
What better way to know what your customers want than to ask them? Surveys are a great way to get a feel for what's on your customers' minds, and many online tools make this easy for you. You can conduct general surveys, surveys after purchases, exit surveys, or ask customers to give you feedback via email or social media at any time.
Conduct Focus Groups
Focus groups are a great way to conduct market research. Using a sample of your customer base, you can figure out what your customers are looking for you to provide them with regarding product quality, product features, customer service, and user experience.
Split Testing
A/B or split testing is another good way to figure out what consumers want. Split testing refers to setting up two campaigns that are similar but have several significant differences. It can also be two products or services. You can then see which one performs better.
Track Your Competitors
Your competitors can serve as a wealth of information to help you figure out what your competitors want and how you can improve your business. If you see that some of your competitors are getting better results than you are, see what they are doing that you are not. If you notice that some of your competitors are suddenly experiencing either increasing or declining sales rates, see what they recently changed.
How Can You Use This Information?
There is a lot that you can do with the information that you discover using the methods as mentioned above. Let's explore some of them.
- Use it for marketing purposes: If you know what your customers are looking for, you can create better marketing and advertising campaigns. There are two aspects to this. First, you can start targeting the right people to get higher conversion rates. Second, you can craft ads that mention the right things and are more convincing.
- Create better products: You can create better products that provide consumers with what they want.
- Provide a better user experience: You can offer a better user experience by providing services that keep your customers satisfied. Make sure your customer service representatives know what your customers care about as well. This will help them be more empathetic and increase customer satisfaction.
At New Perspectives, we help customers gain consumer insights and tap into those insights. Contact marketing research consultants today to learn more about gaining consumer insights.

Group urges cordial relationship between civilians and armed forces
The Heroes and Helmets commemorative project, which was organised by Out of Nigeria (OON), an adventure and social good organisation, has been described as an 'epic and uncomfortable challenge' that moved Nigerians to work at improving the relationship between civilians and people in uniform.
Founder of Out of Nigeria, Mr. Toyin Adebola, said: "Heroes and Helmets was a fulfillment of my dream of a local motorcycle-inspired project that would resonate across the nation and the world with a soul stirring message and cause," he said, adding, "The project, which recorded almost 4,000 selfies broke the ice with Nigerian service men and women and it has contributed to achieving our goal of creating better appreciation of members of the armed forces for their role in nation building.
Founder of Lost for A Reason USA, Ron Grace who participated in the circumnavigation adventure of Lagos State and was visiting Africa for the first time also commended the initiative, saying: "I am both proud and honoured to have been a part of the Heroes and Helmets project, which was a great way to raise awareness and help to nurture a better relationship between civilians and service people."
