More than ever now
I want you.
Each day that passes
Surpasses its predecessor
In contentment
You are my salvation
Remembering the time before us
Leaves me cold
You brought me home
Into the warmth
You tended to my heart
Restored my faith
Pacified the torments
More than ever now
I need you
Each day that passes
Eclipses its predecessor
You are my miracle
Banishing sorrow forever
Replenishing my love
Refreshing my spirit
Tending my flesh
More than ever now
I want you.
I need you
I love you

The Value of Content
For the past few weeks, I've been obsessed about building a technology blog for my organization. But this past week I had a sobering wake-up call that has made me rethink what types of content readers find valuable. It turns out, if you look at the metrics for the site, that the blog isn't hardly read at all. Instead, many people read the forums and help content.
Really? Yes, I think in comparing content value, an informative set of help topics is more valuable to a reader than an ephemeral blog post on a random topic.

Pilates & New Client FAQs
How often should I do Pilates?
How do I make Pilates a habit?
What do I need to do to take a class?
Can a friend and I get personal training together?
Can I try taking classes or getting private instruction before I buy a membership?
Do you offer special rates for students?
Can I register for classes or training sessions online?
Do I NEED to take a private lesson?
Who was Joseph Pilates?
Joseph Pilates was a physical trainer who invented the Pilates exercise system. We think the video below, produced with funding from Taube Pilates of Australia, tells his story well.
What is Pilates?
Pilates is a method of body conditioning that develops the body uniformly, corrects posture, restores vitality, invigorates the mind and elevates the spirit.
How often should I do Pilates?
That depends on what kind of results you want. You can reduce back pain with one session. You can relieve stress at the end of a long week with one session. But if you want to get a six pack, run a marathon without injury, get back into pre-baby shape, or simply tone up… make the commitment to Pilates 2-3 times a week.
One of Joseph Pilates' most famous quotes is …. "In 10 sessions you will feel the difference. In 20 sessions you will see the difference. And in 30 sessions you will have a whole new body." He says in his book, Return to Life Through Contrology (which is a quick and entertaining read since it was originally published in 1945 and gives you a peek into the mind of this genius!):
"If you will faithfully perform your Contrology exercises regularly only four times a week for just three months, you will find your body development approaching the ideal, accompanied by renewed mental vigor and spiritual enhancement." Ideal body… mental vigor …. spiritual enhancement! Who wouldn't want all that with just 4x a week?!
Consider what kind of results you want from Pilates. Even once a week Pilates can:
- rehab injuries
- retrain muscular imbalances
- improve sports performance
- improve posture
- increase muscle flexibility
- increase joint range of motion (ROM)
- increase body awareness
- reduce stress
- build muscle tone
Be wary, however, of claims that Pilates is great for burning fat. If you expect a 1x week Pilates session to get you thin… you may be disappointed. But adding Pilates to a fat-burning regimen of cardio and healthy eating can keep you injury free while helping to sculpt and tone. Or, look for a Pilates fusion class that combines Pilates-based moves with fat-burning cardio.
How do I make Pilates a habit?
Ideally, Pilates is something you do 24/7. Joseph Pilates was all about the mind body connection. Ask google how long it takes to create a habit and you will get an answer around 21-28 days. (Though there seems to be little scientific proof!) Focusing on Pilates concepts everyday can help change old postural habits (e.g., slumping in our seats, rolling our shoulders forward, standing in one hip) The more you do it… the more natural positive postural habits become.
My favorite client feedback is when I hear, "I stood all day and had no pain." "What normally would have been an unbearable plane ride was just fine." "I found myself sitting taller." "I noticed I was in neutral spine."
Pilates builds a body awareness that translates into everything you do. So my response to the question "How often should I do Pilates?" is this:
Once a week is great … 2 times a week is better … and 3 times a week is amazing! And remember, Pilates doesn't have to be your only exercise. Commit to movement everyday! Pilates just happens to be a very fun and effective way to do it!
To help you, Joy of Pilates has a variety of private, small group, and classes to make Pilates part of your life everyday! Check our schedule for a a class that fits your lifestyle!
Ask yourself … Are you a Sarah or a Martha?
Can men do Pilates?
To answer your question, please visit Buzzfeed's article: "29 Pictures That Prove Pilates Isn't For Men"
Have a question this page didn't answer? Email us at email@example.com.
What classes do you offer?
Joy of Pilates offers a variety of classes for all fitness levels. Our small class sizes allow the instructors to focus on your personal needs and goals. Visit our Mat class descriptions and Reformer/TRX class descriptions to see the wide range of classes offered at Joy!
Our Pilates classes fall into the categories of Mat group classes or Reformer and TRX series. See the calendars on those pages to find out what classes are currently being offered.
What do I need to do to take a class?
Before you attend any classes at the studio, you must complete our new client packet, which contains our studio policies, waiver of liability, fitness history and health history. The forms can be downloaded in PDF format or you may pick up copies at the studio.
Also, if you are new to Pilates, you must take one session of private instruction before you can attend any of our group classes.
Can I get private training?
Yes. Private training is ideal if you are new to Pilates, are recovering from an injury, or have specific fitness goals. Our trainers look at posture, body composition, lifestyle and general movement habits to build a custom session for optimum results. Private sessions are made by appointment only with your desired trainer.
Can a friend and I get personal training together?
Yes. We call two-person training sessions "Duets." They are a great way to stay committed to a regular workout schedule, because your friend will be counting on you. Duets work best when you and your partner can commit to the same schedule every week and have similar physical abilities and goals. If you are new to Pilates, we recommend attending a couple of private Pilates sessions before you team up for Duet sessions.
Can I try taking classes or getting private instruction before I buy a membership?
Of course. Feel free to enroll in our Mat classes, Reformer/TRX series classes, or private instruction sessions. See our Studio Prices page for our current rates.
Do you offer special rates for students?
Yes. By showing us your college student ID, you can take one Mat class for $11. Teens are $8.
Can I register for classes or training sessions online?
Yes. We use an online registration and scheduling system called MindBody Connect. Start using it by setting up an online account. You can also use the MindBody Express app to schedule your next visit using your Android or iPhone.
Do I NEED to take a private lesson?
YES. To ensure understanding of Pilates Method, the equipment and to be placed in the proper level of class in order for you to achieve your fitness goals.

Art in a Container International Competition
This international competition, which employs the interior of a shipping container as a display space, is open to applications from the public and has been the main feature of Kobe Biennale since its launching. Shipping containers which migrate within and between countries symbolize Kobe, that has long been developing as a port city, through the constant coming and going of people, goods, and information. For the competition this year, we have received entries from various genres including design and architecture.
- ■Exhibition period
- October 1 to November 23, 2011
- ■Exhibition place
- Kobe Harborland (Main venue)
- ■Exhibition works
- 25 works (abroad:9 works)
- ■Application total
- 289 works (abroad:31 works 16countries)
- ■Judge
IKEDA Seiji
Dean of Faculty of Fine Arts at Tokyo University of the Arts MINO Yutaka Director of Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art, Councilor of KOBE Biennale 2011 NAKAYA Hide NHK commentator SAKAMURA Ken Professor of Interfaculty Initiative in Information Studies at the University of Tokyo YOSHIDA Hiromi Ikebana artist, General Producer of KOBE Biennale 2011 Yong-woo lee Executive Vice President, Gwangju Biennale (Second screening only)
- ■Judges' comments
- Works submitted to the Art in a Container International Competition, which is the main exhibition of the 3rd Kobe Biennale, showed improvement in quality and became richer in variation each time the competition was held. In addition to artistic works, there were many entries from creators in the fields of design and architecture, showing that this competition in Kobe is characterized by its expansive coverage. Among the prize-winning works this year, entries from foreign creators made a good showing, demonstrating that the competition is truly an international event. The Art in a Container International Competition is where participants compete for excellence in creating an unreal space in reality within the limited space of a container, and we are looking forward to seeing how the selected works provide excitement when they are actually installed. Meanwhile, it may be the fate of this competition to develop a fixed pattern in video works, but we hope that participants will make much more experimental attempts to defy stereotypes in the future.

Is Prepone an Actual Word?
Archived under business communication along with 0 EnglishCoach Comments
Jan 17
By Priyadarshini Mahendran
Are you nodding and saying yes? Think again. It isn't.
Yes, really. (Google quickly!)
"Prepone" is an Indian English word that has come about to explain an event that has been brought forward to an earlier time or date. It is used so often, as the opposite to postpone, that it's almost legit.
Examples of its usage:
- They preponed the last date for submitting applications.
- The deadline for the delivery has been preponed to the 15th of this month.
- Ragavan has preponed the meeting by 2 hours.
The word postpone means to push something off to a later date. It is natural for people to think that the obvious opposite of postpone is "prepone", especially given the usage of terms such as 'prepaid' – 'postpaid'; 'predated' – 'postdated'.
The word prepone is used largely in India only, and people from other countries do not understand what we mean when we use it. It is a word that has caught on, and has been accepted by the Concise Oxford English Dictionary, 11th edition (which added around 80 Indian English words).
But when we want to raise our English to global standards, it may not be prudent to use words or phrases that colleagues in London or New York can't follow.
So, what then is the opposite of the word postpone? What is the word you need to be using instead of prepone? The answer is: advance or bring forward.
The right way of using these words would be:
- They advanced the last date for submitting applications.
- The deadline for the delivery has been advanced to the 15th of this month.
- Ragavan has brought the meeting forward by 2 hours.
Ignorance is bliss, but knowledge is wealth. Make sure you never 'postpone' research for your presentation as you never know when your meeting might get 'advanced'. (wink)

For a question like this, it is really important that you seek legal advice for your specific situation. For U.S. securities regulations to apply, it does not really matter where the startup operates; what matters is the fact that the company is incorporated in the U.S. Second, whether you need to be accredited depends on the type of investors the startup is seeking. Generally, a company will pursue accredited investors if they are looking to be acquired down the road. If the company is not seeking large investments, it may raise funds from non-accredited investors such as friends and family.
In the United States, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulates how and when an investor may be accredited in regard to a U.S. corporation. Under SEC regulations, an accredited Investor is an individual who has (i) a net worth (or joint net worth with his/her spouse) that exceeds $1 million at the time of the purchase (not including the value of the primary residence); or (ii) income exceeding $200,000 in each of the two most recent years (or joint income with a spouse exceeding $300,000 for those years) and a reasonable expectation of such income level in the current year. Thus, to be an accredited investor, you must carefully review your net worth.
My company LawTrades is a one-stop platform where you can find experienced, pre-vetted attorneys to help you with all the complex legal issues concerning your investment in U.S. startups. We'll give you a free consultation and a no-obligation price quote. Good luck w/ everything!

I have looked at quite a few vacuum sealing systems in recent articles, but most of them were from the Food Saver line of machines. This is, of course, because Food Saver is one of the leading brands in home use vacuum sealing systems. But, Food Saver is not the only brand that offers vacuum sealing systems for your home food storage needs. So I have decided that it is time to give some of those other systems a look. The Waring Pistol-Style systems are an interesting twist on the traditional channel sealing system; they offer handheld control of the sealing process.
Pistol Style Systems by Waring Put Control in Your Hands
Handheld systems are usually battery powered and may have limited suction power. Handheld vacuum machines are very convenient for use while traveling or living in small spaces. These little units can be stored away in a drawer when not in use or kept in a car or suitcase for easy access while traveling.
Most of the handheld systems work only with zipper bags that have a built in valve or compatible containers. Some handheld vacuum devices will only work with specific bags, thus, you may be limited as to the brand of replacement bag you can use. The Waring Pistol Vacuum Sealers are more of a crossover vacuum sealing system, with the power of a countertop system and the convenience of handheld portability.
Below I've reviewed Waring's handheld pistol style vacuum systems for use with the Waring recharger and storage bags:
Convenient and Rechargeable With a Powerful Vacuum: The PVS 1000 HandHeld by Waring
Waring Pro PVS1000 Pistol Vac Professional Vacuum Sealer System
Waring WVS50 Commercial Pistol Vacuum Sealing System
Waring WVS50 Commercial Pistol Vacuum Sealing System
If you are in love with the idea of a powerful handheld vacuum sealer but prefer the convenience of an every at the ready counter top unit, you should consider the Waring Commercial Pistol Vacuum Sealing System.
This vacuum sealer is a battery-powered rechargeable unit, but it can handle up to 50 seals before needing a recharge.
The Waring Commercial Pistol Vacuum Sealer is a true power user's delight. If the battery is out of juice, you can plug the charger's adapter directly into the vacuum sealing pistol and keep going!
You can start and stop the vacuuming process with precision using the trigger-pull operation of the Waring Commercial Pistol Vacuum Sealing System. The Waring Commercial Pistol Vacuum Sealer is an excellent choice for quickly sealing bread and other soft foods to preserve their freshness.
The Waring WVS50 Commercial Pistol Vacuum Sealing System is a restaurant grade machine with a NEMA 5-15P grounded electrical plug. It is also NSF listed, meaning that it meets the organization's health and safety requirements. Keep your sealing system clean and ready to go with the Waring commercial unit's covered charging station. The charging station also serves as a holder for the Zip Tool and the Waring resealable storage bags.
Manufacturer's Tips and Tricks
The Waring manual provides the following guidelines for using the Waring Pistol Vacuum Sealing Systems:
- Do not use the Waring Pistol vacuum sealers for sealing soups or other liquids.
- To prevent foodborne illness, do not reuse Waring storage bags. You can reseal a bag after removing a portion of the stored food inside, but do not reuse the bag for different foods.
- To seal powdered foods, use a filter to prevent food particles from entering the sealer.
- To make sure all the air is removed during the sealing process, gently press the storage bag while vacuuming.
- To keep the juice from moist foods from entering the sealing system's motor, seal these bags while they are held upright.
- Do not overfill storage bags. The sealer must be able to rest flat against the patented sealing valve. Overfilling also increases the chance of food particles entering the sealer's motor.
- Wrap foods with sharp edges or protrusions before bagging them. Punctures to your storage bag will result in spoiled, unsafe foods.
- Separate individual items such as meat cuts or tortillas with parchment paper before bagging and freezing them. This will make removal later easier.
- Leave an inch or two for expansion when bagging unfrozen foods that are intended to be stored in the freezer.
- Waring food storage bags are FDA approved for use in cooking, and may be used for microwaving, boiling, or freezing.
- Keep the suction base of your vacuum sealing unit clean at all times to prevent foodborne illness. Remove the suction base by rotating it to the unlock position; then wash the base and inner suction nozzle with warm soapy water. Make sure the parts are dry before reassembling the unit.
Whether you go with the household unit or the commercial unit, the Waring Pistol Vacuum Sealing System offers an affordable alternative to traditional channel sealing systems. The handheld portability means this unit can move from room to room or even place to place with you between recharging. The Waring system may be too limiting if you prefer to make your own bags in various sizes. But it is a sure bet if you prefer using pre-made zipper bags and want portability and control.

Has anyone else noticed that Paula Deen, a celebrity chef who is known for creating things like a cheeseburger sandwiched between two donuts, has gone low carb? And lost 40 pounds? She and her family are on the cover of People magazine this week. After developing Type II diabetes, she cut way back on carbohydrates. Now a half slice of bread is a big treat. One of her sons' comments in the article that everything he used to eat with bread he now eats with lettuce instead. Sounds at least less-carb to me. They mention other factors, like portion control.
Portion control and low carb eating go hand-in-hand. It's much easier to control your portions eating in a low carb style. It's very hard to drastically overeat meat and vegetables, whereas it's easy to eat an entire box of cookies or a whole loaf of bread. Not sure the Deens realize it, but they've joined the low carb club.

Meeting writers is always so disappointing. I got over wanting to meet live writers quite a long time ago. There is this terrific book that has changed your life, and then you meet the author, and he has shifty eyes and funny shoes and he won't talk about anything except the injustice of the United States income tax structure toward people with fluctuating income, or how to breed Black Angus cows, or something.

Also cut two rectangles, roughly the same size, out of the magnetic sheets with the adhesive. They have to fit on the paper strips.
Remove the foil on the back of the magnetic sheet and attach them on the edges of the paper strip as shown on the picture.
Once the two magnets are attached to the strip of paper, cover both sides with duct tape.
Cut any excess duct tape with scissors. You could also use decorative scissors to give your magnetic bookmarks some extra flare and interest.
Decorate with your magnetic bookmarks with stickers. Now they're ready to place into a book.
The possibilities for decorating your magnetic bookmarks are virtually endless!

What is real Christian leadership? What is true Christian discipleship? Can we truly have one without the other?
Leaders love to be followers. Jesus always did what the Father told Him to do–and Jesus is the greatest leader in history. He told us to become leaders who make disciples who follow Him. But are we pointing people to follow Jesus–or us?

Today, Dave Wager joins us for an interesting discussion on why discipleship no longer seems to be an important aspect of American Christianity. He points out that it is all about relationship, and we've lost this focus in our culture today, even in the church.
To pursue biblical discipleship, start with loving God, spending time with Him and obeying His Word. Another thing to do is to go to your pastor and ask him if the church has a plan to disciple the members. What are some other ways we can all pursue biblical discipleship?

Do you enjoy riding a bike? Want to have a capable ride wherever you are? To most of us who are looking for something to use in the grueling commute, a folding bike is a practical choice.
They allow anyone to enjoy biking even if they can't own a full-sized bike for various reasons. Want to bike to work and still ride the train or a bus? You can only do that if you have a folding bike.
Gone are those days where folding bikes are known as flimsy, laughable rides. Today's folding bikes have come a long way. Some have powerful motors and ranges that rival full-sized ebikes.
You can have the same amount of fun that also offers great convenience at the same time. Folding bikes often have shorter wheelbases and higher handlebar heights, making them more maneuverable and more comfortable on commutes with plenty of turns and stops.
Note that not all electric folding ebikes are made equal. We already did the hard part and present to you the best folding bikes on sale now. Make sure you don't miss them!
The GB750 Fat Tire Full Suspension by GreenBike USA
Fat tires are becoming more common in folding bike models, like this GB750 Fat Tire. This bike sports a 750-watt motor and distinctive 4-inch wide Fat Tires that ensures good grip and cushion on the road or trail.
It has a mid-folding heavy-duty aluminum bike frame with a clasp and a locking mechanism. One feature often overlooked is the integrated fenders, which ensures that your crisp work clothes are protected from splashes.
Being a folding bike model, the GB750 Fat Tire is notable for its speed. It can easily travel 20 miles per hour on throttle alone, so you can easily maneuver through traffic and speed up to be on time.
It has dual disc brakes so you can stop safely. The GB750 FT packs very good features such as 9 levels of Pedal Assist and a large LCD screen that is easy to read under daylight. It has mindboggling range, making it very ideal for the daily commute.
The Emojo Lynx Folding Electric Bike
A stylish and eye-catching electric bike featuring a sporty paint scheme, the Emojo Lynx is for those who want to look smart in their commute. Plus, it has a steel alloy mid-folding bike frame with a quick-release locking mechanism.
It is like being able to fold a high-performance bike to carry with you in the car or public transport.
Emojo Lynx sports 4-inch wide Kenda fat tires, a 500-watt brushless DC motor, and a high-tech lithium-ion battery pack that charges to full within 6 hours. The fat tires make it capable of riding offroad, on dirt, snow, or wet surfaces.

The Emojo Lynx has a nice set of Tektro disc brakes (front and rear) and a reliable 7-speed Shimano transmission that offers excellent performance.
The BackCountry Stalker 750 by BackCountry eBikes
If you want a folding bike that does something a little bit more, this BackCountry Stalker 750 might be for you. It features a corrosion-proof 6061 aluminum alloy mid-folding bike frame with a special camouflage paint scheme, so no more worrying about getting your bike rusted.
As mentioned by its manufacturer, this Stalker 750 is a hunter bike.
This bike sports an impressive 750-watt hub motor, which offers much better performance compared to other folding bike models. It also has 4-inch wide Kenda fat tires for excellent grip, so this is the bike you would like to bring in the woods or on the trail.

The GB1 500 Watt Folding Electric Bike by Green Bike USA
Get around in style with this GB1! This folding bike features a smart-looking design. It has a 500-watt mid-drive motor that gives it excellent performance. This particular model is packaged with 20-inch fat tires, so you can also enjoy riding on the road or offroad.
The GB1 has dual disc brakes and a front fork shock absorber that softens the ride. The frame features a mid-folding aluminum frame with folding handlebars and quick-release locks on the frame and seat to make it even more compact.
Due to its unique folding frame, you can easily bring it on the bus or subway and have no problem finding space to store it.
A lot of ebikes are pretty dismal when it comes to actual range. If you are a rider that covers a lot of miles on a single ride, be happy to know that this GB1 has a very impressive range of 50 miles on a single charge.
This folding bike has more range than many full-size electric bikes. The bike is powered by a large 48-volt lithium ion battery made by Samsung. Note that the bike has an excellent nine levels of pedal assist, so you can have more options in selecting more power or conserving the battery.
The bike has plenty of convenient features. There is a big LCD screen on the center of the handlebars that displays the battery, pedal assist, speed, and time. The bike has a magnet that keeps the folded frame secured together, which is useful when carrying it on the train or in the car trunk.
There is no need to purchase or install roadworthy lights. The GB1 Fat Tire comes with front and rear LED lights for added safety, plus integrated brake lights and turn lights (left and right).
The Enzo Folding Electric Bike
Love riding the looks of a traditional bike? Some riders are still hooked to the nostalgia of riding bicycles based on a centuries-old technology. However, it is hard not to get impressed with the thrill and 'oomph' offered by well-made modern ebikes.
There is this bike, a folding one, that does not have the 'eyesore' battery pack and the motor housing. This is the Enzo Folding Electric Bike.
This bike has a mid-folding aluminum alloy frame with collapsible handlebar stem and pedals. This particular Enzo model is equipped with a 350-watt motor and a Samsung lithium-ion battery with a 10.4 ah capacity.
The folding bike has a maximum range of 40 miles, which is quite impressive for its size.
The Enzo features a very ingenious design where the battery pack is hidden inside the bike frame, presenting a sleek and seamless silhouette not seen in other electric bike models, even the full sized ones.
The folding bike also has a rear hub motor that fits smoothly in the rear wheel. No one will notice it is electric in a glance. Another ingenious design is the seat post, which has an integrated tire pump.
According to the manufacturer, the Enzo has a waterproof frame so you can use it in salty or humid environments safely. The bike has a molded wiring harness with waterproof quick connecting plugs.
The bike has durable 20-inch cast wheels with 2.25-inch wide Kenda tires.
The Enzo has 160 mm hydraulic disk brakes made by Shimano, offering excellent and effective braking for a long time. The frame has a well-designed rear rack, high enough to enable the addition of panniers, and yet flush for folding.
The Emojo Lynx Ultra Pro Folding Bike
Another great folding ebike is the Emojo Lynx Ultra Pro, which packs many features found in full-size high-performance bikes in a small folding bike frame.
The bike has a 500-watt brushless DC motor, giving the bike excellent uphill and offroad riding abilities. Have the confidence to go downhill or tackle twisting trails with the Tektro disc brakes on the front and rear tires.
Go over sand, snow, gravel, or loose ground as the bike has 20-inch Kenda fat tires that give you lots of grip.
Since the Emojo Ultra Pro has a mid-folding aluminum frame, you can easily put it in your car or take it with you on a bus or subway. Bring it to your favorite nature trail or use it as a daily ride. The bike has a rated range of 30 miles on a single charge.
In addition, the Emojo Ultra Pro has creature comforts such as leather grips that aid a lot during long rides, a 7-speed Shimano transmission, thumb throttle and three levels of pedal assist.

In this video we know that the last time Trump's tax returns were public he paid zero and was proud of it. So we want to put this guy in charge of a government that he doesn't want to contribute to while the rest of us pay our fair share?

After a great session this week with Tom and Erin of the StockCharts MarketWatchers program, I am happy to follow up with my first blog article to introduce the XABCD measurement tool we discussed during the program. The XABCD drawing tool is new to the StockCharts platform, and it can outline distinct M-type and W-type harmonic price structures. These price formations represent the structural basis for harmonic patterns that can define unique levels of natural support and resistance.
I initially defined the rules for harmonic patterns in my first book, "The Harmonic Trader" in 1998. In fact, twenty years ago, I was invited to contribute articles to StockCharts.com and I would like to personally recognize the website as an important platform for me to present these initial ideas. My articles on StockCharts at this time introduced many of the initial harmonic discoveries that have now become common knowledge within the trading community. Incredibly, the harmonic measurement strategies have been embraced throughout the trading industry as more individuals apply these effective pattern recognition strategies to their existing arsenal of tools. In doing so, traders quickly realize the unique relationships that these price formations possess. More information on harmonic patterns is available on my website, www.harmonictrader.com Furthermore, I will be contributing more information and resources to learn about the foundation of harmonic pattern measurements strategies soon.
In today's blog post, I would like to focus on the new XABCD tool, how to access it and apply immediately to your chart analysis. For starters, I would like to refer you to the interview with Tom and Erin of the stock charts market watchers program where we discussed the new tool and reviewed several harmonic XABCD patterns currently unfolding in the markets.
Access the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwcbG33G4lM
To review, I would like to show how to access the tool and then how to apply it to current chart analysis. First, access the XABCD tool by clicking The ANNOTATE button for the market being considered. Let's review Baker Hughes – a stock we discussed in the session. The following shows the chart in ANNOTATE mode (left corner) with the XABCD highlighted with an arrow pointing to the W-Type harmonic price structure.
After opening the screen in ANNOTATE mode, the interactive screen will open where the user can illustrate their charts and save the analysis for later. Click the icon that is in the middle of the drawing tool bar menu and select XABCD icon. Once selected, look for price action that has an M or W structure with distinct high and low points that follow the structural rules outlined in the presentation. Simply, click the initial point to begin marking the structure and select each subsequent A, B, C and D points to mark the M or W formation. For the Baker Hughes example, we start with the recent high a few months ago back in September.
Although some basic knowledge is required to understand each pattern structure, we can simply look at the midpoint to determine what pattern type we are analyzing. We analyzed this formation in the chart of Baker Hughes during the presentation, outlining a Bearish Bat pattern. Although there are other considerations that are essential in the analysis of harmonic patterns, the basic identification strategies are extremely useful in differentiating each type. Starting with the midpoint of the structure at B, the general rule of thumb is that the ratio at this area will define the eventual completion for the pattern. This pattern marked important reversal recently and an important continuation with in the downtrend. Looking at the last six months, we see price action consolidated within an established downtrend. After, the daily chart completed the W-Type Bat formation which possessed the ideal ratios for the Bat pattern, the reversal ensued quickly. It is important to note that the B mid-point completes at a 50% level of the XA leg which results in a projected completion/reversal at the 88.6% level. The price action rolled immediately after completing the pattern.
As we discussed in the presentation, the M and W formations are specific formations that must possess a specific alignment of ratios as well as structural points. We analyzed the two basic M and W pattern types: Retracement (Bat, Gartley) and extension (Butterfly, Crab). The following weekly example in Verizon (VZ) possesses an ideal Bearish Butterfly target the area just above the $56 level as an important resistance point within the downtrend. At a minimum, we can utilize the projected pattern completion as a target for long positions to take profits and/or look to go short. For now, the trend is still up until the structure has completely tested all of the harmonic measures that define the pattern.
I will post more information regarding harmonic patterns and how to best integrate them into your trading analysis. At least now, we have an essential tool that can begin to enhance this analysis and sharpen measurement capability with powerful XABCD harmonic patterns. Finally, I look forward to sharing more information about harmonic pattern strategies to the StockCharts community. Great to be back!

Students study the Australian Curriculum for English in all year levels. English classes at Campbell High School are not generally streamed and our teachers are experienced at differentiating learning opportunities and assessment programs to meet individual students' needs. However, places are available in Extension classes in years 8, 9 and 10 for students with particular gifts, talents and interests in language arts.
Students have opportunities to:
Wide varieties of texts are utilised including novels, poetry, short stories, newspapers, online literacy, advertising materials, film, video and live performances. Novels cover a range of topics, issues and settings of particular interest to adolescents, including cyber-bullying, environmental concerns and personal journeys. We study multi-cultural texts and maintain a diverse collection from Shakespeare and modern classics to recent indigenous and other Australian fiction.
English plays an important part in developing the understanding, attitudes and capabilities of those who will take responsibility for Australia's future and the English curriculum at Campbell High School relies heavily of the Australian Curriculum and its achievement standards.
Although Australia is a linguistically and culturally diverse country, participation in many aspects of Australian life depends on effective communication in Standard Australian English. In addition, proficiency in English is invaluable globally. The Australian Curriculum: English contributes both to nation-building and to internationalisation.
The Australian Curriculum: English also helps students to engage imaginatively and critically with literature to expand the scope of their experience. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have contributed to Australian society and to its contemporary literature and its literary heritage through their distinctive ways of representing and communicating knowledge, traditions and experience. The Australian Curriculum: English values, respects and explores this contribution. It also emphasises Australia's links to Asia.
For more information on the Australian Curriculum: English and the Achievement Standards you can visit the ACARA website.
Head of Faculty: Ellie Mayne
In the Australian Curriculum, the Humanities and Social Sciences learning area includes a study of history, geography, civics and citizenship and economics and business.
Through studying Humanities and Social Sciences, students will develop the ability to question, think critically, solve problems, communicate effectively, make decisions and adapt to change. The Humanities and Social Science subjects in the Australian Curriculum provide a broad understanding of the world in which we live, and how people can participate as active and informed citizens with high-level skills needed for the 21st century.
All students from Years 7-10 study a semester of History and Civics and Citizenship and a semester of Geography and Economics and Business.

Sadly, you may not hear many Members of Congress speak about this important case. It will, after all, be heard less than one month before the election and the topic is touchy. Many ask themselves, "Why should I care? Aren't we living in a society where we don't need to consider a person's race anymore?" To answer this question, one must consider the fact that college diplomas still remain elusive for many minorities. White students are five times as likely as black students to enroll in a highly selective college, and two to three times as likely to gain admission -- even after accounting for income differences between black and white families. Other minorities, Hispanics and low-income Asian-American and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs), face similar hurdles. This racial disparity cannot be attributed to academic preparation, as the racial gap in preparation has actually narrowed in the last few decades, but rather to the fact that while we have made progress, we still do not live in the kind of post-racial society in which equal opportunity policies are not needed.
Considerations of applicants test scores, socio economic status, leadership skills, grades, geography, extracurricular activities, life experiences, and racial and ethnic background (and experiences that one might have as a result of that background) lead to a more diverse campus environment and better educational experiences for all students. The over 70 amicus briefs filers on behalf of the University from a wide range of groups such as military leaders, colleges and universities, social scientists, religious groups, civil rights organizations, women's groups, and many of America's largest companies all agree. I, too, agree with our nation's flagship universities and top-tier institutions that we must have the flexibility to consider all sides of an applicant for admissions.
Some think that university admissions should be decided solely on grades and test scores. They are certainly key factors to consider, but I think we all would agree that it is nonsensical to suggest that one's SAT score in high school should dictate how wide the gates of opportunity should be for the rest of one's life. However, should the Supreme Court vote against the University of Texas in favor of Fisher, given persistent achievement gaps, even after controlling for family income, this is exactly what would happen. The ruling would make the student bodies of many colleges less diverse and cause the lives of those already attending the universities to be less enriching. Less exposure to diversity is not only an issue of racial understanding and about opening up the doors of opportunity, but also one that strikes at the heart of our nation's economic competitiveness.
Our businesses rely on our higher education system to provide the pipeline of talent we need to compete globally. These companies know, through decades of experience, that students who are exposed to others from diverse backgrounds make for better workers. These benefits accrue regardless of the student's race. Diversity in our workforce is vital to getting our economy get back on its feet and crucial to the success of American enterprises as our international business grows.
I wholeheartedly believe that when a student's race is considered, it must be done in a careful and thoughtful way. Let us hope, for the sake of our nation's economic health, that the Supreme Court continues to let universities determine their own admissions criteria.

All eyes were on Paul Pogba as Manchester United returned to Premier League action with the visit of Swansea City to Old Trafford.
Pogba scored his first goal for club or country in more than four months with a spectacular free-kick in France's win over Russian Federation in St Petersburg on Tuesday, but Mourinho declined the opportunity to praise him yesterday.
"For me, it's always sad when the big players go in the direction of the end", United manager Mourinho told a news conference on Friday.
Put to Mourinho that Pogba has not been the same player since returning, Mourinho retorted: "It's nothing to do with his injury". It was a display from the Chilean more in-keeping with his form at Arsenal, but afterwards Mourinho refused to get too excited. The midfielder does, as many have noted, need to work a bit harder perhaps, but the manager needs to let him off the leash more. I can not do anything else. Mourinho was also insistent Pogba's absence with a torn hamstring for over two months has had no bearing on the player's troubles since the turn of the year. "In his case - not at all". His recovery was really, really good'.
Pogba strengthened his claims for a recall, turning in an impressive performance for France in their 3-1friendly victory against World Cup hosts Russian Federation in St Petersburg in midweek.
Mourinho's hard relationship with Pogba sub-text of Man United's clash with struggling Swansea Jose Mourinho's strained relations with Paul Pogba will again come under close scrutiny when the Premier League returns from its worldwide break this weekend.
Ball-tampering row: Steve Smith, David Warner banned for 1 year
Is putting a mint in your pocket so you can shine a ball on the field pre-meditated cheating, or just ball-tampering. Later Bancroft stated " I want to say that I'm very sorry, I'm very disappointed and I regret my actions.
"If he's available Luke Shaw is always an option", he said.
He was hauled off midway through the FA Cup quarter-final win against Brighton before the global break.
Mourinho has made a career out of trying to play mind games with both what he says and what he does.
None of Martial, Rashford or Sanchez are capable of ruffling their opponents with their physical presence, and this could hamper the club at some point, should Lukaku suffer a setback through an injury.
"A report (said) that Luke asked me why I changed him?" "The last time I spoke with him was probably when I last played against him". He didn't ask me the question. Nothing. I am the coach. "I make the changes I want to do".

identifying the owner isn't selfish
Company name opinion. Thank you.
Dream Planet, Nestor Planet Games, North Star Games,????
Nestor's Dream?
One thing: Will people (publishers, printers) have trouble understanding the word "Nestor" over the phone? I owned a game store called Golden Mean Games. You'd think that it wouldn't be a big deal, but people (wholesalers, etc.) had frequently trouble with understanding that name on the phone.
Them: "Golben Mead Games?"
Me: "No. Golden, like 'made out of gold'. Then Mean, like 'average'..."
Them: "Huh?"
Me: (ugh)
...and so on.
Heck, people sometimes have trouble with Invisible City.
No, and actually, I rather like just "Hidden Agenda" without "games" or "publishing" in the name.
Next Great Game, from Hidden Agenda.
I like the feel of that, assuming people already know that you're making games.
Next Great Game, from Hidden Agenda.
I like the direction or meaning of hidden agenda games, but I don't think it has a vary nice ring to it for a game company name. Might as well say "M.O. games". I don't know if this has been asked but what is your intent or idea you want your company to represent. I could help generate ideas with you much better if I know what your trying to say with the name. I mean can you give me a clearer sort of idea?
So cool, Sidd! But registered! :((
hiddenagenda registered
hiddengames registered
hiddenlab registered
Maybe Hidden Agenda Games but it's a bit too long.
We are so close!!
Hidden agenda sounds suspiciously wicked. When some one says you have a hidden agenda it means your being dishonest. So no loss that it's taken.
You can still keep that mysterious feel and come across as a friendly & family safe.
Worlds Edge has an adventurous sound to it, exciting, and unknown but without any attached stigma.
Worlds Edge Games
Worlds Edge Design
Worlds Edge Entertainment
Or you go with a lost civilization sort of feel to capture the same kind of energy.
Lost Civilization Games
This would be good for you line of abstracts you plan on releasing. You could theme them all as ancient games with the back story that archeologists found them in the Amazon or some other remote location.
On the other hand you may wish to drink from the well of the unknowable future. The word future, and even time travel has been used in game company names already. Still there is room here.
Temporal Rift has a nice ring to it.
You said 'dream' was important to you. Some suggestions (add Games, Board Games, Labs, Workshop, etc. as appropriate):
Dreamland, Dreamworld, Dreamscape, Dreamplane, Dreamrift, Dreamsky, Dreamrealm, Dreamstate, Dreamspace, Dreamshift,
Dreamcraft, Dreamspun, Dreamweaver, Dreamsmith, Dreamforge, Dream Machine, Dreamatorium
Dreambeast, Dreamhunter, Dreamseeker, Dreamwalker, Dream Master, Dreamlord
Dreamcycle, Dreamsaga, Dreamlife, Dreamflight, Dreambound,
Dream Small Games (as opposed to everyone telling you to "Dream Big!")
Wild Dream Games
REM Games
Lucid Dream (a dream where you are conscious of it being a dream, and can therefore control events)
Oneiromancer Games (oneiromancy is performing magic/fortunetelling based on dreams)
Oneironaut or Oneironauta (thus, an oneironaut would be one who voyages in dreams)
Morpheus Games (Morpheus is the Greek god of dreams, and can take any shape he wishes)
Ludomancy Games (Ludo = game, mancy = magic/divination)
And just a few Spanish ideas (I actually speak Portuguese, not Spanish, so some of these might not be right). Unfortunately, 'sueño' and 'juego' are both unreadable by the average English speaker. But below are some names that have a Spanish flavor and are pronounceable by Americans. They might not know what they mean, but may feel positive connotations.
Miralargo Games
Avista Games
Tierra Distante Games
Rio Grande Games (oh, wait...)
If it were my company: "Time Tiles Publishing" or "End of Time Games". Mind you, those names hold meaning to me. It's not enough to say "it sounds cool!"
unknowable future.
Ah! The future! I wish I'd know what's there. Maybe the name of my company!
Thank you, David. Keep kicking my **** at Cannon.
Nestor, considering your situation, I could understand that you've got your business together, and now you're sumped for a name. Since we suport eachother on this forum, I won't say get out a thisorous. But I do want to make a serious sugestion. Take it or leave it.
In creating a company, get out of the box! It's cliche to say that but I don't think most poeple that say that really understand what they're talking about. It would be a great asset to you as bussiness owner if you really aquainted yourself with your subconscious mind as a tool for your success. This is a fun thread, but you really don't need everyone doing something for you that you could take care of in a moment.
I will say this about my answer to what I'm quoting above. The most ingenious prolific creators, learn to go to the future. That is where they get their ideas. They learn to acces the future in their mind, and bring back their ideas.
I don't care if you listen to any of this. From what I see though is this, if you stay in the box, you are subject to chance, social rules, ........etc. If you break free, you make the rules and nothing will stand in your way. As long as your deturmined, you will suceed against all odds.
I'm not trying to give a pep talk. It's just after 77 posts, you still have no name. Only you can know the best name. If you become aquainted with your subconscious mind, you can pull anything brilliant up in no time. I wish you the best Nestor!
I keep looking for a name because not all of the company issues are still solved. I need to test a couple of production processes (printing and laminating methacrylate) and get a quote from a local printer (everything this coming week). If everything goes as I expected, I'll make the web site and will start the whole thing. If not (materials not working as I expected or too expensive), I'll need to investigate a bit more so the thing will be delayed a bit.
As the web site will be focused on the games, and the games depend on production, I can't design the web site without the production being solved.
So that's why I keep this thread alive. Because I have the time. When you have time you can use it to improve things, including your name. And most of the ideas exposed here may be used by someone else. That's why this site is so great.
I'll probably name it 'nestorgames', as things can change in the future (future again) but only 2 will stay: Me and the games. I wanted to avoid being selfish, but thanks to your opinions I see this is not a problem. This throws away most of your efforts to help me, and I'm very sorry for that.
Thank you again. You've really helped me, even if you thing you've not.
Prepare your prototypes.
This sounds so cool Nestor! I'm excited for you and am looking forward to seeing your new site. I don't think that I didn't help you. It's not your name I wanted to have influence on. I just want to root your challenging ambitious project on...root you on- give you my suport.
Here's something else that may help and is something that helps me to remember constantly. As far as disapointments go or if something doesn't go quite how you wanted it or planed it, something better than you expected is likely on it's way.
If you want to publish little games that are fun and cheap, why don't you try calling it
...like the small portions of delicious food I used to find in my vacation in Madrid?
Or, if you like DIAMOND, why don't you use the Spanish word for it (is it "diamante", like in Italy, right? "Diamante Games"?).
Or, to be event more stereotypical, let me add a simple: "LOS GAMES".
"Dream Golem" sounds bad to me. Maybe with something more abstract and short, like "Blue Golem" or "Go Golem" or "Mad Golem" or "Los Golems" (again!) ?
My two... uhm ... eurocents.
I would prefer with Games in the name because it conveys what you do.
*How about Black Pearl (with or without Games)? Hard to find, rare, valuable, worth it to look for.
*Abstraction or Abstrakt (all games are abstracted to some degree).
*Player's Choice (Gamer's Choice)
*Nestor Bradley (lol)
*Eden (bountiful, luscious, remote, paradise, hidden, ect)
*Jetstream (focusing on your 'on demand' and quick convenient over the internet service), maybe Gamestream
*Gamescape (mixing game with landscape) taking in a broad range of attractive games. Landscapes have fairly positive connotations. Might also be Gam Escape (not sure what kind of meaning that would have).
*Lucidity (seems Spanishy in my mind) and sounds pretty cool. Would also suggest clear, concise, pure types of games.
That's what I have so far. Hope some of those help and aren't registered.
Oh so you want us to brainstorm, check if its registered and...run your company for you?
LOL, I actually work for an Internet Service Provider and deal with Domain registration.
I find http://www.networksolutions.com/ to work well. Do you prefer a .com or could you do .net, .org, .biz?
Gamescape Publishing, Gamescape Games, GamescapeBG (boardgames), GamescapeInc, Gamescape Online (although that kind of makes it sound like an online game).
edit: even gamescapegames.com was registered, seems like you will have to get further out of the box!
do you have a list of contenders at least or are you still at square one?
hey...wait a minute...Square One Games!! That's pretty good...and fitting. would have a nice logo too.
So, you can write also a little card game about a company trying to register a new name for itself. :)

We have had contact with BT (mirabile dictu) who point out that cashless payphones can be used even when there is no card reader. Apparently calls can be made from these cashless boxes by dialling 0800 0320023 and then following the prompts, or the instructions written on the display panel on the rear of the box – in about 9pt type so take your glasses. You will need to have your debit or credit card to hand which implies the system doesn't actually work with phone cards, though it does work with BT's own charge card, whatever that might be. Or, failing that, dial 100 and ask to reverse the charges.
The working weekend on the old quay was a great success thanks to all the volunteers – and there were a gratifyingly large number of you – and with particular thanks to Simon Read for organising the whole show. As I said last month this work was to be in preparation for the full-scale, mechanised assault on the silt originally scheduled for about now but postponed until this time next year as the funding is not yet in place. With that in mind, it has been seriously suggested that a local fund-raising effort be made so as to be able to provide match-funding for any grants on offer. This would take the form of pledges of money that would only be called in when work was about to start. Further details when they are available.
At the meeting it was announced that our Head Flood Warden, Tony Aberdein, has had to stand down for health reasons and that his place would be taken by Dr Roger Brownsword (01263 740862), an experienced flood warden with personal knowledge of what flood water can do to one's home. It is in no way a reflection on Roger's considerable abilities when I wish Tony a speedy recovery.
On the subject of seawater, the government's nihilistic approach to the public sector has included a full-frontal assault on the Coastguard Service which continues with our own Watch being stood down at the end of the month. A least we still have the lifeboats though anyone getting into trouble out there will have to rely on passing strangers with mobile phones – and a signal – to call out the RNLI. Remember also that the air-sea rescue service has been privatised, the contract having been awarded to Bristow Helicopters of Houston, Texas. The company, which specialises in ferrying crews to and from the various oil and gas rigs, have some experience of air-sea rescue having seen several of their helicopters crash into the North Sea, with fatal consequences alas. I know this government were never likely to let reality trump their right wing dogma but how it can be cheaper to pay to have a commercial company's helicopter and crew on stand-by 24/7 in place of air force personnel who are being paid anyway, is beyond my ken. Perhaps they will save money by only going out in office hours and have an answering machine for other times?
Elaine Ferguson, the Housing Development Officer from the NNDC, will be addressing the next meeting and we will no doubt have some very interesting questions for her. Her visit is particularly timely as there is a newly vacated property in Old Woman's Lane which Victory Housing Trust are thinking of selling on the open market; no decision has been made yet, and it would require Board and Regulator approval, but we can ill afford to lose any more social housing, particularly as the NNDC planners have so far blocked the only realistic proposal for new build in the village. If this, or any other, development went ahead it would be built under the Exceptions Scheme and thus would fall under the local lettings policy which means it would be offered to the people of Cley and surrounding villages on the housing waiting list first – unlike the property in Old Woman's Lane which would be available to anyone on the list. Perhaps some answers will be forthcoming at the next meeting – but please be gentle with her as we need her support in our war against the planners.
Many things may change in the next couple of months with our MP, our District Councillor and the entire Parish Council up for re-election. This is the point where I urge everyone – especially the young – to make sure they vote on 7 May. Ignore what Russell Brand says. The reason that all political parties fall over themselves to appease the old is that they know that pensioners vote; and there's a lot of them/us round here. Conversely the needs of the young are generally ignored because most of them don't bother to vote anyway so who cares if they are further alienated. Yes, the system is fundamentally and deeply corrupt – as we have been reminded yet again in the last few weeks – and parliament in session is more like a bear pit than a place of rational debate, but it's the only one we have. For the moment. Besides, if you don't vote you can't complain at the outcome.
I must also urge people to stand for election to the parish council. PCs don't have much actual power but they do have influence and they are important for their communities. We need at least eight candidates to have an election – without one there is a sense that the council doesn't have a democratic mandate (we haven't had an election for the PC for eight years so definitely time for another) – so please think about it seriously; nomination papers will be available from our Clerk, Louise Stevens (01263 713857), and then all you need is a proposer and a seconder, who must be on the electoral register for Cley.
The next meeting of the Cley Parish Council will be held in the Armes Room at the rear of the village hall on Tuesday 7 April, kick off 7.30pm. Not too literally, I hope.
Stop Press
I have just seen a copy of a letter from Defence Minister, Anna Soubry, to Norman Lamb in which the MoD concede our request that there be an all year round no-fly zone over the Cley marshes reserve. As an added bonus, this 'Environmental Avoidance' as they call it will be extended to cover the village of Cley too. So thanks very much to all of you who signed the petition and thanks too to Cllr David Young and Norman Lamb MP for pressing ahead with the campaign.

Radio astronomy is the science of observing the heavens at radio frequencies, from a few kHz to approximately 300 GHz. In recent years, radio astronomy has faced a growing interference problem as radio frequency (RF) bandwidth has become an increasingly scarce commodity. A programmable real-time DSP least-mean-square interference canceller was developed and demonstrated as a successful method of excising satellite down-link signals from both an experimental platform at BYU, and the Green Bank Telescope at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in West Virginia. A performance analysis of this cancellation system in the radio astronomy radio frequency interference (RFI) mitigation regime constitutes the main contribution of this thesis. The real-time BYU test platform consists of small radio telescopes, low noise RF receivers, and a state-of-the-art DSP platform. This programmable real-time radio astronomy RFI mitigation tool is the first of its kind. Basic tools needed for radio astronomy observations and the analysis and implementation of interference mitigation algorithms were also implemented in the DSP platform, including a power spectral density estimator, a beamformer, and an array signal correlator.
