We have seen many images from the The Amazing Spider-Man 2, but prior to the release of the trailer, the true reveal should come at the Comic-Con panel in Hall H on Friday. Sony has released a tease for the panel with our first official footage of Jamie Foxx hooked up to the machinery that presumably transforms him into the villain Electro. I haven't set expectations for the sequel yet, but I do like the look they designed for Electro.
Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Dane DeHaan, Paul Giamatti, Felicity Jones, Chris Cooper, and Sally Field also star. The Marc Webb-directed sequel opens May 2, 2014. See the teaser after the jump, and check back on Friday for our recap of the Comic-Con panel.
Official synopsis:
In The Amazing Spider-Man 2, for Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), life is busy – between taking out the bad guys as Spider-Man and spending time with the person he loves, Gwen (Emma Stone), high school graduation can't come quickly enough. Peter hasn't forgotten about the promise he made to Gwen's father to protect her by staying away – but that's a promise he just can't keep. Things will change for Peter when a new villain, Electro (Jamie Foxx), emerges, an old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, and Peter uncovers new clues about his past.

Discussion in 'Trading Software' started by YankeeTrader, Jul 28, 2006.
Anybody have any thoughts or experiences with AIQ and/or myTrack?
Depends what you are looking for....
If you are interested in a programming language that is user friendly is the best in the business in creating markets,groups and sectors,than AIQ is your choice...
The charting package needs an update..
AIQ is also great for creating custom group and sector structures. It comes with its own sector structure called "AIQALL" but if you're willing to spend the time to create your own group structure, the rewards can be substantial. Note that this can take A LOT of time.
Expert Design Studio (EDS) is also a powerful syntax language, relative to its difficulty level.
I think AIQ Systems (the company) needs to focus on developing its strengths like its backtesting capabilities, EDS, and group/list structure.
We recently posted a bunch of FREE EDS files on our website for the built-in indicators that appear in the charts module. This code can be used to reference and 'hard code' the indicators into your system so that the parameters don't change when you change them in the charts module.
After many years of using AIQ TradingExpert off and on in btwn trying other softwar programs I finally gave up on TradingExpertPro ... even in the process of cancelling I had to interface eith THREE different companies.
Earlier on it was a good product; most of its docs are copyr 2004 or 2007 giving the impression of no updates. And they no longer provide a reference manual opting for helpfiles with NO HELP CONTEXT ...
I switched to RushGroup DirectPlus and am delighted.

Like many men who divorce, Dr Zaid Al-Saffar thinks the amount that the courts have ruled he must pay to his ex-wife is outrageous. But he has a further complaint. He thinks that "family law in this country is biased against Muslim people".
He and his wife formalised their marriage according to Islamic law, and he expected their relationship to be governed by those rules. They even made a "prenuptial agreement" which specified that, in return for his paying her a sum of money when they married, she would give up her rights to a share of their home. Dr Al-Saffar was furious when England's courts ruled that the agreement didn't count, and he had to pay his wife half the value of the house they had shared.
After all, English law allows Beth Din courts to settle disputes between Orthodox Jews according to Jewish law. Why wouldn't the English courts let Islamic law decide what Dr Al-Saffar should pay his wife? It was just another example of anti-Muslim prejudice: other religions are allowed to regulate marriages by their own rules – but Muslims are not.
Does Dr Al-Saffar make a fair point? The short answer is no. In 2010, the Supreme Court recognised the validity of pre-nuptial agreements that vary the division for marital property from the 50-50 split that the English law says should be the basis of every divorce. But they did so with important caveats: if there was evidence that one party had been pressurised into signing an agreement that disadvantaged them, or if the courts just thought the agreement was unfair, then a "pre-nup" would not be valid, and the settlement would revert to an equal division.
Dr Ziba Mir-Hosseini, an expert on Islamic family law, points out that Muslim law on marriage is "fundamentally patriarchal". "It suits the interests of men rather than women," she says. Central to Islamic marriage law is the wife's duty of submission to her husband, which he purchases by agreeing to provide for her for the duration of the marriage. He can divorce her if she refuses to submit to his will.
There's no concept of "marital property": each partner to the marriage is entitled to what they owned prior to it, and to whatever they acquired during it, but the absence of marital property means women have no right to alimony from their ex-husbands. Furthermore, fathers always have guardianship over the children. And if a woman remarries, she loses the right even to see her children without their father's permission.
Although it has only happened within the last 40 years, English law is now based on a recognition of the equal rights of husbands and wives – which is why English courts are not going to recognise a "pre-nup" based on Islamic law. The courts reject such agreements as "fundamentally unfair". If the Orthodox Jewish courts are indeed allowed to operate a system which does not recognise the equal rights of both spouses, that is a legal anomaly which should be reversed, not upheld. The correct response to a situation in which one group is allowed to violate a legal principle is not to allow another group to do so, but to stop the first group transgressing that principle.
Dr Al-Saffar's complaint against the English legal system is echoed in the increasingly vociferous chorus arguing that Muslims should be allowed to regulate their communities by their own laws: that they should, for example, be allowed to follow the requirements of Islamic religious law or sharia. This, it is said, is necessary if Britain is to treat Muslims "fairly". Unfortunately, the result would also be to systematically disadvantage Muslim women.
It is essential, if Britain is to remain a society based on equality before the law, that we do not start allowing communities to discriminate against women. Muslim men can be part of British society, and most already are, without having to suppress Muslim women. Ultimately, that's why Dr Al-Saffar has to pay his ex-wife the money that he so bitterly resents.

Who has time to dampen a little bit of cotton wool, pop some dried mung beans or mustard seeds into it and wait for their beansprouts or cress to grow?
In this speed obsessed, impatient world, nobody. We want our stir fry NOW, not in two days time. We need our egg cress sandwiches for tomorrow's lunch, not next week.
Anyway, if there are producers out there who want to produce cress for 30p a punnet (end cost to the consumer) or bags of beansprouts for £1.50, why shouldn't we pay them to do so? The cost is negligible to us and important to them. It is little payments like this that keep farmers in production. It's our social duty to buy, buy, buy. And we don't have the time, right?
Wrong. We have the time, but we're not organised. We're not doing what our parents' and grandparents' generations did: planning meals for the week ahead; using storecupboard stock like seeds and beans and flours to ensure that we had the breads and cakes we all love to eat. We're wondering what we want for tea in the middle of the day, or on the way home from work, or as we're staring desperately into the fridge.
Wrong on another count, too. The farmers don't rely on us to buy their packaged beansprouts. "There is no supply without demand." This is a real quote I heard hiphop artist, Snoop Dogg say on a BBC Radio 1 interview last night. It was one of the only sensible things he said. If we don't demand the beansprouts, the farmers will find something else to produce.
Mass production has its benefits. It isn't Magpie's intention to endorse self-sufficiency; it is an impractical non-solution unless you are young, rich and jobless. Soy sauce, rice, vinegar, flours and many of the fruits and vegetables that are the staples of a varied healthy diet in the West would be impossible without cheap, mass produced exports from around the world. How bored this bird would be on a winter diet of kale, potatoes and beef.
The point is that the E.Coli outbreak in Europe this month could have been avoided. If adults did the things that they learn in year one infants, and grew their beansprouts on cotton wool at home, because they knew on Monday that they were going to have stir fry on Friday, all those people wouldn't have become infected.
Bags of beansprouts smell most peculiar when first opened anyway, even uninfected ones. And Magpie noted when buying cress for the first time ever about a month ago, that the label purported it to be a mixture of mustard cress and rapeseed. Rapeseed? Since when did mustard cress become so expensive to produce that something cheaper needed to be mixed into it? How much profit are producers really making?
Magpie vows here and now to document the growing of cress and beansprouts this week.
With any luck, she'll be eating stir fry and egg sandwiches by Friday.

The holiday season should be filled with cheer, love and generosity. While it's true that this is the most giving season of the year, it's also true that there are less than favorable people out there willing to take advantage of any opportunity to steal. That's why Chesapeake Systems Service, Inc. wants to remind you of ways to better secure your home and belongings this holiday season for utmost safety.
Lock Your Doors and Windows
This should go without saying, but the easiest way to protect yourself inside of your home is to lock the door. This is likely the first barrier a home intruder is going to attempt entry through. The second is your windows. During the holiday season, criminals can stoop to desperate measures to get the electronics, household items or cash they desire. If you leave your door unlocked or a window open and are seen leaving your home, you could be at risk for a break-in.
Online ordering is all the rage these days for almost everything, especially Christmas gifts. Most people want to enjoy the luxury of shopping from home rather than going out in dreary weather to rub shoulders with hundreds of people at the mall. The problem is, you aren't always going to be home during business hours to protect your package by bringing it inside right away.
To ensure your packages aren't stolen by the neighborhood Grinch, be sure to request a signature on your deliveries (especially the valuable ones) so they aren't left unattended at your door. You can also sign up for text or email alerts about the status of your package, or give the delivery driver specific instruction of where to leave it so that it remains out of sight. You can also opt for your package to be held at the nearest FedEx or UPS office until you pick it up by name. Importantly, if you speculate that one of your packages has been stolen, notify the police immediately – even though they don't have a huge track record with recovering these kinds of items this time of year.
Your Vehicle
Locking your vehicle behind you isn't always enough to keep a criminal uninterested in what's inside. Make sure not to leave any shopping bags or presents in plain sight in your vehicle. Additionally, many parents opt to hide Christmas presents in their vehicles as a safe hideaway from nosey children. You never know who is watching. When you are seen leaving a trunk full of presents behind, a criminal might take notice. Better to find a safe, locked hiding place inside your home and hope for the best.

PPS 7 (Addendum): Residential Extensions and Alterations
Annex A: Extensions and Alterations to provide for Ancillary Uses
A49 An extension or alteration to a residential property to provide an ancillary use, such as additional living accommodation for elderly or dependent relatives, should be designed to demonstrate dependency on the existing residential property. Proposals of this nature should be designed in such a manner as to easily enable the extension to be later used as an integral part of the main residential property. Ancillary uses should provide limited accommodation and shared facilities, for example kitchens and be physically linked internally to the host property. Ancillary uses that could practically and viably operate on their own will not be acceptable.

`Ohi`a is a variable species, hence the species name, polymorpha meaning many forms. 'Ohi'a can be a tree or shrub or anything in between; a lot depends on where the seed came from. The blossoms may be red, orange, or yellow and the foliage may range from a waxy green to a fuzzy gray with reddish new growth called 'liko'.
`Ohi`a does best in mesic or wet environments and requires moderate water. It grows well at lower elevations with regular watering. Full sun is good for more flowering and growth in general. The variability of this species offers potential for a hedge, specimen planting or a mixed windbreak so be careful when purchasing an `Ohi`a to ensure the form you are looking for. 'Ohi'a have many surface roots so newly planted trees benefit from fertile soil in a large area around the main trunk.
Insect pests include rose beetle and may defoliate young plants, but they will soon grow out of it. Don't let ants host scale or aphids. `Ohi`a is one of the main canopy trees of the wet Hawaiian forest and also a pioneer species. There are other species of Metrosideros native throughout New Zealand and Australia.

(The Wrap-Up Magazine) The outrage over Alton Sterling's death keeps pouring out as his family and anyone who has watched the video of his murder by Baton Rouge police demand justice. Although the unfortunate incident seems to be a frequent occurrence between Blacks and police—and has been publicized thanks to camera phones and social media—Baton Rouge native, Boosie BadAzz, tells VladTV that he's been talking about police brutality ever since his own experiences.
"Black Lives Matter is the truth" he told DJ Vlad, "I've been saying f*** the police [but] they ain't believe me until technology came with all of these damn camera phones. Police killed one of our ghetto heroes in 1989. Jumped on a car and shot him down." He added, "It's been going on, I've been saying f*** the police."

Personal Cultural Immersion
Every winter the subject of homelessness and being homeless comes to the forefront. TV stations, radio stations, community leaders, everyone wants to lend a helping hand to those in need. After all it is the time for giving and helping all mankind. Every year it seems as thought the numbers are increasing, since this is an invisible group it is very hard to give you exact figures as to how many are on the streets every year, but if you live in San Diego you can see many of them every day depending on where you go. In Downtown there are a large number of visible homeless and an even larger number of those who aren't seen. The homeless are under bridges, sleeping on trolley tracks, in bushes, on the street corners begging for spare change and cigarettes. Every Winter shelters open up and for a couple nights the community pitches in to provide food and drinks to those that have no where to go and no family to be with.
On the corner of a very plain looking block in Downtown San Diego sits a small building with no banners, and no signs. It is here that is the national headquarters of a non profit organization that focuses on serving the youth and fighting homelessness before it can start. This non profit organization started in 1990 by a retired Navy officer, Richard Luca. Luca saw an episode of 48 hours three years earlier that documented street kids in San Diego, California. He was later shipped out to San Diego and began walking the streets trying to identify these homeless children to get them into shelters. A lot has changed since those days, and at the same time a lot has remained the same. Stand Up For Kids has grown nationwide and is a full non-profit organization. The message is two fold, if there are kids on the street that want help, they give them a place to go and help them out. The other is trying to cut down on homeless youth. Every minute a child runs away. This is too many. So Stand Up For Kids goes to schools and gives presentations about how un-cool it is to be a runaway. Children can be influences by their peers rather easily, if there is on child who runs away and goes to school to tell how awesome it is to not have anyone to anyone to tell them what to do. How cool it is to be free. This type of influence is not good. Stand Up For Kids goes around to schools that call and ask them to give them a hand. In this presentation the students are told the cold bitter truth about what life is like out on the streets, no warmth, no safe place to go, the people who are around might hurt them, the police who might go after them and cite them. Each student is given a card that has toll free numbers for help at any hour of the day so the kids can know where to go for help. In each presentation there really get into detail about what might be out there for both boys and girls: prostitution, rape, drugs, alcohol, stealing, and the lifestyle that can come from these things.
The idea that there are so many potential pitfalls that kids are facing now is overwhelming. Arming myself with some broad cultural immersion can only help when a young person walks into my life asking for help.
B. Personal Cultural Identity:
I am the son of a regular middle class Mexican American family. My father was born in Mexico and earned his citizenship by marrying my mother. His roots and culture run deep as he embodies the "machismo" that is the heart of Mexican culture. My father works five days a week and when he comes home he expects dinner to be cooked and hot on the table by the time he gets home, he leave the dishes in the sink so his wife can clean them. His wife does not drive, she does not have a "job", although being a housewife should count as a full time job. He believes women should not have opinions nor disagree with him. According to my father college is a waste of time, I should have just gotten into a trade and learned a skill.
My mother earned...

We've been MIA here for awhile. Sorry. No excuse other than I just get caught up in other things sometimes.
Husband commissioned me to make something that would solve the problem that WAS our pantry overflowing with plastic grocery bags, so I made this grocery bag dispenser from the tutorial on Make It-Love It. I just used a single piece of fabric to save time (she sews a few different fabrics together, in stripes)
Extremely easy.
I hung it on the pantry doorknob but it just seemed too low, so I hung it on the hinges. It's cute enough to be showing and I'm just happy the kitchen is somewhat more organized.
You know me. I don't like to make a trip to the store for anything if I don't have to, so I used lace for the ribbon, because I didn't have any ribbon. Works just fine.
I've been on a mission to do more fun things with and for my kids, so we made this goo (from Our Best Bites) that I had been promising G we'd make every day for at least a couple of weeks. We finally did it yesterday. I'm still working on the procrastination thing, but I think it's a worthy enough goal.
It entertained them for quite some time. I put a big piece of freezer paper down on the kitchen floor for them to smash it down on. They had a friend over when we made it, and they got tiny toys and cars out, to 'bury' in the goo. They loved it. (didn't get any good pics) Here's a different recipe at Tot Treasures, if you don't want to buy Borax.
We put it in a ziploc baggie so they can play with it again and again.
We put it in a ziploc baggie so they can play with it again and again.
And then there was this 'mess-free finger painting' idea, I saw on Mama Smiles. They loved this too. Put some tempera paint in a freezer ziploc baggie, tape to the counter with a piece of paper underneath, and let them go to town, without having to worry about the mess it'll make. -I- loved this one too.
We used primary colors, so we got to see how they mixed and made new colors. We just left them taped to the counter, so they can come back and play any time they feel like it. Then, when they get tired of these colors, we'll switch to something new. Maybe next time we'll make tertiary colors with a primary and a secondary in each bag.

The SHIFT Programme Leaders
Catherine Cuffley
Your Head Coach
Joanna Gaudoin
Your Personal Image Coach
SHIFT Programme Testimonial – Overview
Shabnam H – Senior Claims Adjuster
I attended the SHIFT programme designed by Catherine Cuffley to accelerate my career development as a Leader.
The result I achieved was simple – I now know I can lead.
I learnt to:-
· strengthen my presence through consistent delivery of my personal brand statement across all touch points;
· harness my potential by a shift in mindset so I act as if I already have the job;
· showcase my accomplishments in an authentic way to initiate and continue to develop supportive relationships; and
· utilise frameworks such as PESTLE and SWOT analysis to think more strategically
· through effort, good teaching and persistence I have learnt to handle my "little voice" of doubt which has enabled me to lead successfully.
The SHIFT Programme - Developing Women Leaders in the City is for current women leaders with the potential to breakthrough to more senior positions and those on the cusp of their first leadership position, in organisations across the City.
It is a five month programme based around Thinking Choices' five element SHIFT framework outlined below. There is one full day module per month, covering each element of the framework across the five months. There is also an initial half day Launch and Goal Setting module on 3 November.
Strengthen Your Presence
A strong personal brand enables you to be authentic, credible and connect with people at all levels.Your brand also includes managing your energetic presence, personal image and communication, including body language.
Harness Your Potential
Includes identifying and capitalising on your strengths as well as becoming clear about which weaker areas are 'mission-critical' and maximising time and energy. Creating a balance between work and other aspects of life is also vital for sustainable career success.
Initiate Supportive Relationships
Supportive relationships are essential within your current work setting, as well as in a wider network with mentors and coaches, friends and family. It is necessary to be able to initiate and develop these relationships, enhance your influence and handle difficult relationships.
Focus on Strategy
To be a successful leader requires developing more of a 'big picture' approach and focusing increasingly on the strategic aspects of your role and the business as a whole.
It is also helpful to take a strategic approach to your career; e.g. to align yourself with the direction of change in the business, undertake key projects to gain valuable exposure to influential stakeholders or fill in the key gaps in your knowledge or skills.
Think like a Leader
Thinking like a leader underlies all the other aspects of the SHIFT framework. It is necessary to develop a supportive mindset.
This means aligning your beliefs and values, identifying what is stopping you and learning to overcome the blockers. Handling the 'little voice' of doubt that we all have in our heads is also vital, as is learning to let go of some of what you have excelled in to date in order to take on even higher-level leadership tasks.
The real SHIFT happens through the application of the 5 SHIFT elements.
Accountability is critical to success so this is built into the programme in the form of Accountability Groups and a Buddy Process. Having a supportive community of like-minded women will enable you to make progress at speed you would not have believed possible.
The SHIFT Programme is based on the principles of applied neuroscience.
Aligning with the brain's approach to developing relationships, optimising thinking and maximising productivity, the programme allows leaders to achieve better results in a shorter timeframe.

Central London Location
Catherine's coaching helped me step up to a new and challenging role at Board level. Having had her own previous career in business she was able to easily identify with issues and problems faced at senior management level. I would highly recommend Catherine as an executive coach.
Joanna's knowledge around colour, style and how to present yourself has proven to be very useful.
Catherine's coaching helped me manage my workload differently and effectively manage my new team. She also suggested several techniques to help me balance my very busy life. As a result, I am still able to enjoy some quality time with my family, whilst working full-time and studying. Catherine was an absolute pleasure to work with.
Joanna's business pedigree, excellent communication skills and integrity quickly secured my trust and respect, but it is, I think, her unconditional commitment to a client's success that makes her such an exceptional professional.
I feel I have gained enormously from the coaching process. I no longer get so nervous when having to speak in front of a large number of people. I also find speaking at work meetings easier and believe I voice my opinions clearly and concisely.
I now regularly attend external updates and make an effort to get to know people from other banks. My coaching improved my working relationship with a key Director and I felt more able to be honest and open in our communication. I am now better able to handle confrontation and always consider if a face to face meeting aids a resolution.
We are in a time of great change at the Bank and Catherine gave me some useful advice on change management techniques. I found working with Catherine extremely easy. She is a warm and professional person. I felt free to discuss issues openly and honestly without worrying about any consequences on my work role.
Joanna was easy and totally professional to work with. She adapted her content according to the specific interests and questions of those who took part. She has significant expertise on the area of personal image.

Basically I want cool Dinos.
I think we should be able to region paint tames instead of just warpaint on official servers.
- It would be less taxing on each server to have to load and intricate warpaint than a 3 to 6 region customization.
- it helps quickly pick out tames in a larger tribe
- it could wear with damage, rain, or time even
- it would be so easy to implement guys.
- Please
- and also please fix black opacity on tame painting.
- Or at least more skins, or costumes like the bionic that can be region painted.
