An Explanation of Dollar Price Averaging Versus Simple Averagingby InvestorGuide Staff
Never confuse dollar price averaging with simple averaging. For instance, let's say an investor purchased 1,000 shares of Microsoft stock at $40 per share at the first interval and another 1,000 shares of stock at the next for $25 a share. That would make the total investment $65,000 and the average stock price $32.50. However, this is not dollar cost averaging - it is simple averaging. The average cost of the stock will not trend towards the current market value if you do not remain consistent in your investment strategy. Using dollar cost averaging, a person would invest a fixed amount - say $33,000 per interval. Thus, when buying the same Microsoft stock at the first interval, a person would end up with 825 shares of stock at $40/share and 1320 shares at $25 each. This adds up to 2,145 shares and an average cost of $30.75 - closer to the current market value of $25 than the simple averaging strategy.

The 2015-2016 admissions lottery will be held on Monday February 2, 2015. The results can be found here.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who may apply?
An application may be submitted for any child who turns six (6) years old before September 1, 2014 OR if the child is or was enrolled in another school in the grade that precedes the one for which application is made. By law, the student must currently reside with a parent or court-appointed legal guardian in North Carolina to apply.
I believe that my child is currently assigned to the wrong grade. Can I apply for a spot in any grade I wish?
Willow Oak Montessori administration may not discuss the specifics of a child's situation until s/he has been enrolled at the school. Once enrolled, Willow Oak Montessori administration will determine the appropriate grade placement for each student based on factors such as age, maturity, and past academic background. Please see the previous answer for guidance on which grade you should apply for.
My child is home schooled. What grade may I apply for?
According to the State of North Carolina Department of Non-Public Education, the grade level of home-schooled students is determined by the Home School Administrator. As such, you may apply for a spot in the grade that follows the grade that the child is currently enrolled in. Once enrolled, Willow Oak Montessori administration will determine the appropriate grade placement for each student based on factors such as age, maturity, and past academic background.
How will I know that you have received my application?
We will acknowledge all applications via the preferred e-mail provided in your application or via US Mail if no e-mail address is provided. If your application was complete, the acknowledgment will include your lottery entry number. Please retain this number, as lottery results will be posted by number only.
How will you conduct the lottery?
We plan to use a publicly available random number generator (www.random.org) to create a randomized list of lottery entry numbers. The number generation process will be projected onto a screen so that all present can see the steps taken and the results as they become available. In accordance with our Admissions Policy, at least one impartial community member will be present to observe the lottery.
Do all siblings get a spot in the school if one child is selected in the lottery?
Only multiple birth siblings are treated as one entry in the lottery. Any other siblings are each entered individually.
Does anyone have priority in the lottery this year?
Priority is given to the siblings of currently enrolled students, children of faculty members, and children enrolled within the previous two years who left for an academic or parent's vocational opportunity, in that order.
Students of the Willow Oak Montessori Children's House program do NOT receive any priority for a seat in the public charter school.
How long will I have to accept an offered spot in the school if my child is selected in the lottery?
You will have seven days to accept an offered spot after notification via the preferred phone number and e-mail address provided in the application. If you do not contact us within seven days, the student's name will be placed at the bottom of the waitlist. A copy of the student's birth certificate, proof of residency, and immunization record will be required at the time of enrollment. Please contact us before the lottery to discuss any questions or concerns you might have so that you have the information you need to make a decision in the timeframe available.
Willow Oak Montessori Admissions Policy
Updated 11-14-2013
302.1 Admission
As required by state law (G.S. 115C-218.45), any child who is qualified for admission to a North Carolina public school is qualified for admission to the school. Admission shall not be determined according to the school attendance area in which a student resides.
The School shall not discriminate against any
student on the basis of ethnicity, national origin, gender, or disability. Except as otherwise provided by law or the
mission of the School as set out in the charter, the School shall not limit
admission to students on the basis of intellectual ability, measures of
achievement or aptitude, athletic ability, disability, race, creed, gender, sexual
orientation, national origin, religion, or ancestry.
302.2 Admission Priority
For the purposes of this section, the term "siblings" includes any of the following who reside in the same household: full siblings, half siblings, stepsiblings, and children residing in a family foster home.
The School will give priority in this order:
1. Siblings of currently enrolled students who were admitted to the School in a previous year.
2. Children of the school's full-time employees.
3. Students who were enrolled within the two previous school years, but left the school (i) to participate in an academic study abroad program or a competitive admission residential program, or (ii) because of the vocational opportunities of the student's parent.
Preference may be given to the children of employees so long as the percentage of students does not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the school's population.
302.3 Open Enrollment
The School will hold an annual open enrollment period of at least 30 days. At the conclusion of the enrollment period, if the number of applicants for a particular grade does not exceed the number of available spaces for that grade level, all eligible students who have properly applied by the deadline will be accepted. At the close of the enrollment period, if the number of applicants for a particular grade level exceeds available spaces for that grade level, a lottery system will determine admission eligibility. If multiple birth siblings apply for admission to the School and a lottery is needed, the School shall enter one surname into the lottery to represent all of the multiple birth siblings. If that surname of the multiple birth siblings is selected, then all of the multiple birth siblings shall be admitted.Students who are not offered enrollment will be placed on a wait list. After all spaces for a grade level are filled, the lottery will continue until all applying students have been assigned a number on the wait list. The wait list will not carry into the next School year, but will remain and be used for admission should a space become available during the current School year for which it was conducted.
Attendance at school every day, particularly at the beginning of the school year, is critical. In the event that an enrolled student does not attend any orienting events prior to the start of the school year, the school will make an effort to contact the family via telephone and/or email to ensure that the student still intends to attend the school. If a student does not show up for school on the first day of school, the school will again contact the family via the telephone numbers and e-mail addresses provided on the student's enrollment paperwork. The family will have three days (72 hours) to respond to these inquiries to confirm that the student still intends to attend the school before the student's space is offered to the next student on the waiting list.
Students offered a space from the wait list will have seven (7) days to accept the space after being notified that the space is available via telephone and/or e-mail by submitting completed enrollment paperwork in person to the School's office. If a space becomes available within one week of the start of the school year or after the school year has started, the family will have three days (72 hours) to accept an offered space. If an offered space is declined or is not accepted by the applicable deadline, that student's name will be placed at the bottom of the wait list and the next person on the waitlist will be offered the space. This process will continue until all spaces are filled or the wait list is exhausted.
After admission and during the School year, serious and/or repeated deviations from the policies and procedures defined by the School will result in an evaluation of the student's placement in the School, as allowed by law.

Out now on Kivel Records
Lavalle are a new outfit fronted by guitarist Ed Lavalle who is backed up by an impressive cast of vocalist Carsten 'Lizard' Schulz (Domain, Evidence One), drummer Ramy Ali (Evidence One, Iron Mask) and bassist Paul Logue (Eden's Curse) for the debut album "Dear Sanity".
Fans of melodic metal ala Dokken, Ratt and Scorpions pay attention now as this may just be the best album of this style you will hear in 2013.
"Dear Sanity" is home to great songs with big hooks and commercial punch (albeit in an 80's fashion). The production is stellar and Schulz is at the top of his game whether it be belting out verses or adding depth with strong backing vocal choirs on choruses.
Ed Lavalle himself comes across as no slouch in a Lynch/DeMartini/Jake E Lee sort of style, a solid player. Logue and Ali lay down the rhythmic thrust with precision which adds the necessary groove as well.
Highlights are plentiful from opening brace of "Fading Like The Sun" and "Scared To Love", these are big rock tunes. "Don't Cry" reminded me a little of the majestic work on the second Balance album from the early 80's – no bad thing. "Cry Of The Wolf" possesses more punch than a heavyweight boxing contest. Elsewhere "Smoke And Mirrors" reminded me a little of Schulz and Ali's work in Evidence One, perhaps due to the heavy vocal layering. Power ballad fans will be well served by "One Day At A Time" and "Break Your Heart". "Rock Your World" is the only track I find myself skipping, maybe because the following track and album closer, the melodic "Wait Too Long" is another gem of a song.
Ed Lavalle and co can be very proud of their debut work, a great collection of songs which have a good running order and don't outstay their welcome. Lavalle are a name to watch and this comes highly recommended.

Hello y'all. I use mysql server on win XP professional SP3. Have created loads of database and tables, but anytime I try to find my database/tables files in windows environment, can't seen to find it. I don't know if anyone has the idea where these files are stored on my harddrive, and the extension to database files. Thanks in anticipation.
I suggest that you read the MySQL Manual. Section 2.3.1 describes the directory layout on Windows.
Is there a reason why you want to know where the data is stored? It's probably best not to access it other than through the database server.

The US economy is poised for growth but at a rate that promises only a "slow reduction" in unemployment, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said Wednesday.
His comments, given in testimony to the House Budget Committee, suggest that it may be a long while before the Fed feels the urge to boost short-term interest rates because of inflation fears.
"Consumer spending is likely to increase at a moderate pace going forward, supported by a gradual pickup in employment and income, greater consumer confidence, and some improvement in credit conditions," Mr. Bernanke said. The Fed is forecasting economic growth of 3.5 percent for this calendar year and "a somewhat faster pace next year."
In normal times, that wouldn't be a bad pace of growth. But in the wake of a deep recession, with 7.4 million fewer jobs in the US today than in 2007, Bernanke warned that this recovery "would probably be associated with only a slow reduction in the unemployment rate over time. In this environment, inflation is likely to remain subdued."
Translation: Don't expect a hike in interest rates any time soon.
At the same time, Bernanke said in a TV interview this week that the Fed won't wait until the job market has fully recovered to prerecession levels before boosting interest rates. That reflects the Fed's commitment to watch both sides of a dual mandate from Congress: to guard against inflation as well as to seek maximum employment.
The Fed's forecast of slow employment growth is a tough message for the 15 million Americans who are officially unemployed. Although many economists praise the Bernanke Fed for staving off a possible depression in 2008, some argue that policymakers could do more to rev up the pace of recovery.
"We need more demand" in the US economy, says Nicholas Rowe, an economist at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada. "The question," he says, is "where is it going to come from."
Bernanke said the private sector is beginning to take the lead, after a year of intensive monetary and fiscal stimulus from the government. But he acknowledged that a consumer- and business-led recovery now looks disappointing.
Some economists say more fiscal stimulus is needed. They are skeptical that the Fed can provide much more help, given that the Fed's short-term borrowing rate is already at or near zero percent. The central bank can and should do more, say some economists, including Mr. Rowe.
"The real way to get out of this problem ought to be not through fiscal policy but through monetary policy," he says.
That wouldn't be easy. One daring idea would be for the central bank to attempt to buoy America's financial spirits by purchasing shares in the S&P 500 stock index.
Beyond the debate over that controversial idea, Rowe's basic argument is that the Fed should reframe US monetary policy as being about more than just interest rates. If the Fed can do that successfully, he argues, it might be able to give the economy a better push forward.
One sign that such a push may be needed: The US money supply (measured by the Fed's "M2" indicator) has essentially stayed flat over the past year, despite the Fed's zero interest rate.

The Project Sub-Ohm™ SauceCode™ BXDC Sub-Ohm Tank features a truly leak resistant and spill resistant top filling system that doubles as a dual action juice control system, reinforced steel framing, adjustable quad airflow, bottom crossed dual coil design for incredible flavor, and cross compatibility with the coil Aspire Atlantis Sub-Ohm Tank Series!
100% Solely Designed, Engineered, and Developed in the USA by Project Sub-Ohm™!
True Leak Resistant Top Fill System – The Project Sub-Ohm™ SauceCode™ BXDC Sub-Ohm Tank was designed with the explicit intent of advancing and reinventing the user experience for the extremely popular Sub-Ohm Tank market. One of the key pivotal features in the design and functionality of the SauceCode™ is the integration of a top filling system that not only makes the filling and refilling of the SauceCode™ easy and convenient, but also pairs with as a dual action juice control system. This system raises and lowers chimney, directly altering the exposure of juice to the wicking elements of the coil. The integration of this technology inherently makes the SauceCode™ leak resistant, as the wicking channels are completely sealed when the top filling cap is screwed off. The top filling cap also features one of the most accessible and largest filling areas of any tank in the market, allowing users to easily pour their desired amount of liquid into the SauceCode™.
True Adjustable Juice Control System – The SauceCode™ features one of the most discrete and truly coil independent juice control systems in the market today. The user can directly control and fine tune the raising and lowering of the center chimney by twisting the top cap in the appropriate direction, which in turn increases or decreases the exposure of the coil to liquid. This adjustment can be made without disassembling the tank in any shape or form, making this system completely user friendly and ergonomic.
True BXDC Sub-Ohm Coil – Introducing World's First Bottom Cross Dual Coil System (BXDC). First of its kind, the BXDC Coil System utilizes a crossed dual coil design with quad 4mm diameter airflow intake that pair directly with the quad exterior airflow, efficiently using all available airflow space to the direct benefit of the coil structure, greatly improving flavor production and quality. A full barrel diameter of 6mm runs through the entire system, maximizing flavor and airflow. Two distinct types of wicking materials are used within each BXDC Coil System. Density N2, a cellulose wick sourced from France and manufactured by Fiber Freaks, is utilized in the outside wicking elements of each coil due to its properties of faster and more efficient wicking rates. Japanese Organic Cotton is used in direct coil contact for its superior flavor recreation and production qualities. The utilization of this combination of wicking materials is one of the first of its kind in today's market in any aspect, combining the best and most effective qualities of both for the ultimate in user experience and flavor production. (Note: Please fully saturate the cotton before using)
True Coil Compatibility – The Project Sub-Ohm™ SauceCode™ is also directly compatible with the Aspire Atlantis Coil Heads, Sense Herakles Coil Heads as well as the Eleaf MELO Coil Heads, giving users the ability to use these coil heads within the SauceCode™ system. This compatibility also can be used in opposite, allowing for the advanced dual wicking and SauceCode™ BXDC heads to be utilized within the Aspire Atlantis and MELO ecosystems (Sense Herakles does not accept BXDC coils from our testing). The SauceCode™ RBA Head can also be used in the Aspire Atlantis, and MELO systems as well.

The European commission opened their channel on Youtube. Quote From a newspaper here:
A movie about strong European legislation on chemicals was viewed about 80 times by this morning. More succesful is a video about freeing the energy marketplace (over 29.000 hits). But that all pales by the 1.1 milion views to the images of copulating pairs with gasping background noises. 'Let's come together' is the text shown at the end.
The movie is part of a series of 4 to promote European movies. Shown are parts of award winning movies made in the EU such as Amélie and La Mala Educación. Each youtube movie is named after a human emotion: friendship, joy, sadness and love.

A MOTHER whose daughter died after contracting swine flu while on holiday has raised almost £20,000 towards organ donation.
Lorraine Richie from Four Winds, has been fundraising for NI Transplant Association since her daughter's tragic passing three years ago.
She recently hosted the Butterfly Ball for the second time in the Europa Hotel to raise much needed funds.
Corinna Richie was 21 when she died while on holiday in Spain, days after undergoing a liver transplant. The South Belfast woman had been complaining to friends of feeling sick but put it down to something she had eaten.
However her condition deteriorated and shortly after it was confirmed she had contracted swine flu.
The young woman was then moved to Barcelona to be treated and underwent a liver transplant almost immediately, however she sadly died soon after.
Since the tragedy, her mum Lorraine has been campaigning for an "opt out" organ donation system to be adopted in Northern Ireland.
Lorraine said the experience of the opt-out system in Spain, when a suitable donor liver was found for her daughter almost instantly, has convinced her of the need for change in Northern Ireland.
"I have always supported organ donation but since this happened to Corinna it has obviously become a lot more important to me," said Lorraine.
"Nobody wants to talk about dying but I think they would be horrified if they knew how many people could live
"I think it is about education as in Spain it's just considered natural. .They learn about organ donation from a young age and that is the difference between the cultures."
Lorraine has been to Stormont and spoken on local broadcast outlets in a bid to raise awareness for the cause.
The Stormont Assembly recently debated the issue with Health Minister Edwin Poots claiming the time had come for a public debate on presumed consent.
A total of 17 people died between April 2010 and April 2011 waiting for organ transplants, while almost 300 remain on waiting lists.
It also emerged that 184 kidneys were offered to Northern Ireland patients in 2010 and 2011, but had not been used.
"Around 70 per cent of people get cremated here. When I read that and then think of all those people who are dying from organ failure it makes me very sad that people are being cremated before they donate organs."
Lorraine added the Butterfly Ball is to become an annual event in raising awareness for the cause.

Partial solar eclipse!
We happened to be in the path of the partial (and annular) solar eclipse. I am very pleased with this photo, because I achieved it with my point & shoot, no tripod, and my filtering goggles held up over the lens. Do you have any idea of how difficult it is to aim a camera when you can't hold it up and look at your subject??

Where a property has more than one property classification, the levy calculation for that property shall be based only on the property classification providing the highest amount of levy.
Where a person is assessed for two or more parcels of land sharing one or more common boundaries and the parcels are occupied by that same person and are used by that same person and the parcels frontage is served by the same street or avenue the Town of Broadview may, on its own initiative or upon application by the assessed owner, the Town of Broadview may adjust the base tax applicable to the parcels with common boundaries.
A mill rate factor shall be applied to the uniform mill rate for the following classes of land and improvements:
|Property Class
|Mill Rate Factor
Following Saskatchewan Assessment Management Agency's 2013 Assessment Revaluation the Town's Mill Rate was set at 20.00 mills which is still and it is anticipated that this will remain for 2016. There will be another assessment revaluation in 2017 so the mill rate may change then. Please contact the Town Office CAO for up to date information.
The above information taken from the noted bylaws, providing for Base & Minimum Amounts of Tax and Use of Mill Rate Factors then work off the 20.00 mill rate to establish the municipal tax levy on properties.
In December 2014 the tax incentive on Commercial/Industrial Properties was increased to 100% for each of the first 3 years after construction commenced on a new building.
Should the new building be replacing or adding to an existing building the tax incentive will only apply to the increased assessment amount from existing to new assessment.

"Failure is success in progress."
If you read the trader interviews in the Market Wizard books, all of these billionaire/multi-millionaire traders emphasize the importance of managing risk. If they had a Holy Grail system, risk management would be largely irrelevant.
You must be registered for see images attach
Here are three reasons why you'll have better luck being the first man (or woman) to reach the sun than finding a "holy grail" for forex trading:
1. No one can prepare for ALL market uncertainties.
One of the advantages of trading forex is that the bajillion factors that move currencies make it hard for any individual or group to influence price action for prolonged periods of time. Unfortunately, this also makes it difficult for traders to predict future price action.
Unless you gain a superpower that lets you know what central bankers and economic influencers will say ahead of time; warn you of the next natural disasters and terrorist attack, or prepare for similar circumstances, then you'll unlikely to find a holy grail anytime soon.
2. Humans move the market
At least for now. Though Robopip and mechanical trading systems in general have gained popularity over the last few years, humans still control the ebbs and flows of the forex market. Human behavior is one of the reasons why we still see trading opportunities, where price doesn't reflect its value based on available data and existing market themes.
Mike may be interpreting an economic release in a different light and place orders in the opposite direction of Harvey's. Elliot, who handles a corporate account, may hold on to a losing position rather than close a losing trade. Multiply these everyday scenarios and we get an unpredictable mix of potential price reaction.
3. No strategy is profitable in ALL types of trading conditions
Those who have spent some time with markets know that, like human behavior, there are patterns that tend to repeat themselves on the charts.
EUR/USD could react to stochastic signals and trade on a 100-pip range for days. Likewise, AUD/JPY could be counted on to bounce lower from a 100 SMA retest.
But what if the pattern ends and price transitions into another pattern? For example, EUR/USD could suddenly break from its range and keep stochastic in the overbought area as the pair switches to a trending setting. Stochastic, which had been reliable, is now useless while trending strategies start to make sense again.
Most trading systems only work well until price shifts into another pattern. The continuous shifts in trading conditions and the unpredictable timing of when they occur make it difficult for traditional technical tools to be reliable all day every day. It takes discretion to spot shifts in patterns and to identify which strategies would yield profits.
Just because there's no holy grail doesn't mean you can't be profitable trading forex. Many traders are already trading full-time and even more are content to be consistently profitable. The key is to control your risk. Since you can't eliminate it, the least you can do is to control it with proper risk management.

"You should always be able to find something where you can skew the reward risk relationship so greatly in your favor that you can take a variety of small investments with great reward risk opportunities that should give you minimum draw down pain and maximum upside opportunities." – Paul Tudor Jones
"It's not whether you're right or wrong that's important, but how much money you make when you're right and how much you lose when you're wrong." – George Soros
"Frankly, I don't see markets; I see risks, rewards, and money." – Larry Hite
"It is essential to wait for trades with a good risk / reward ratio. Patience is a virtue for a trader." – Alexander Elder
"Paul Tudor Jones [had a principle he used to use] called 5:1. […] he knows he's going to be wrong [sometimes] so if he loses a dollar and has to spend another dollar, spending two to make five, he's still up $3. He can be wrong four out of five times and still be in great shape." – Anthony Robbins on Paul Tudor Jones
"The most important thing is money management, money management, money management. Anybody who is successful will tell you the same thing." – Marty Schwartz
Traders are constantly searching for the indicator & Expert Advisors that will make them rich, but trader Rob Hoffman warns that indicators & Expert Advisors work differently for every trader and mustn't be used as a crutch.
Traders always seem to be looking for the next hot indicator & Expert Advisors or the indicator & Expert Advisors that's going to make them millions of dollars and be able to use that forever and ever on any kind of market, but is that the reality?
Our guest today is Rob Hoffman; he's here to talk about that. Rob, should I rely or go out and try to find the best indicator to use and continually use that? What's the best way to deal with so many that are out there?
You know Tim, I went through that for years, looking for the magic bullet, the secret, the "HolyGrail." While I found a lot of indicators that seemed to work a lot of the time, what I really found in the end is that it's not just indicators, because even if you have a great indicator, what do you do with that indicator?
When it says buy, do you go ahead and delay your buying decision? Do you go ahead and buy in front of your buying decision, so do you front-run the indicator? How do you start handling it emotionally when the signal is about to fire off or does fire off?
Even if you have a great indicator, what I find often in the real world is what works really well for trader number one doesn't necessarily work well for trader number two.
A lot of that is personality, personality style, and also kind of their mindset, their emotional state.
What I believe is…I'm a firm believer that the "HolyGrail," in many ways, is within a trader, their mindset.
I often talk about different mindsets that I believe to be adverse for most traders.
What happens is—and I had recently a real life example of another reason not to go ahead and rely strictly on indicators, but focus on price action, support/resistance, and mindset as well—I recently had a situation where a permissioning server that I was trading through went ahead and went down, so all the indicators that I had that were permissioned on that server all went down, so effectively I had support/resistance levels, price action, and a volume indicator, basically, a volume indication.
So I was back to the basics. No fancy indicators, no custom indicators, no proprietary "Holy Grails," just Rob Hoffman's support/resistance and price action. That trade worked out very well for me.
The point is, though, regardless of how it worked out, I had to get back to the basics, and if I was really only focused on indicator trading, I would have been paralyzed. What do I do, my indicators aren't there, I guess I'm going to have to shut down the computer for the day?
Also, indicators are very well known or giving false signals. Even the best indicators will occasionally give you a false signal.
How do you, or how in tune are you with the market to tell you at a particular time, you know, the indicator says buy or sell, but something just doesn't seem right here. I'm not feeling it in the price action; something's off, something's not right. I think I'm going to abstain from taking this particular trade, so still being in tune with price action, volumes, support/resistance, I think, are really important.
You want to be able to trade whether or not you have access to a specific tool. Because in the end at some point you're going to have just price to watch and maybe volume and the support and resistance levels, so you don't want to use it as a crutch, I guess.
Exactly, I'm very firm about that, I don't want to use it as a crutch. It's a support decision tool when I have it, but in the end, there's more than life in this search for the "HolyGrail" or the Holy indicator, that's right.
Ask any quant on Wall Street (the super geeky math and physics PhDs who create complex algorithmic trading strategies) why there is no "holy grail" indicator, method, or system to pull profits 100% of the time.
You will probably be given two reasons:
1. You can't predict the future.
Is there any way to know what a central bank head will say during a speech?
Or maybe what a super famous investor or hedge fund manager says during a random TV interview?
Do you know when the next terrorist attack will hit and cause risk aversion?
How about a natural disaster like an earthquake or tsunami?
The list of unforeseen market moving catalysts is infinite and when they happen, they can rock the markets and your forex trading system.
Understand that this is part of trading and the best you can do is be prepared to limit your losses if they occur.
Be ready to have your world rocked. And we don't mean that in the way you think it means.
2. Data doesn't move the market. Humans do.
There will be times when data or market themes do not mesh with price action.
Why is that?
Maybe the outcome was priced in ahead of time? Maybe forex traders weren't focused on the data that was released?
Maybe there was an institution covering a huge position that was on the wrong side of the market?
Would all players in the market react to an unforeseen catalyst the same way?
Whatever the price behavior may be, the decisions that lead a trader to take action aren't always logical or congruent to the information out there.
When you multiply this by the millions of players with different goals/strategies and different sized trading accounts, it becomes impossible to tell where the overall market will go every single time.
You can't quantify or calculate human behavior and unknown future events into an elegant mathematical equation to completely get rid of risk.
There will always be some level of uncertainty and there will be times when you will be on the wrong side of a currency market move.
Actually….there will be MANY times when you will be on the wrong side of a currency market move.
Perfectionists should probably stay away.
For those of you who always feel the need to be correct, we must warn you now…
Nobody can perfectly predict the market every single time.
All hope is not lost though if you decide to stubbornly not listen and continue your search for the Holy Grail.
Rumor has it that if you can find a pink unicorn standing under a rainbow, you will come across an invisible leprechaun who will give you the Holy Grail. Good luck

After working their way through Kierkegaard on Thursday afternoon, some 18 students joined prefects for a run/hike in the foothills surrounding campus. The outing was highlighted by great conversation and an encounter with a friendly cow, who attempted to follow the group for as long as she could. After the hike, all (save the cow) cooled off with a swim in the campus ponds. Others used the afternoon recreation period for yet more volleyball and Frisbee.
Then it was off to dinner, study hall, and the nightly Rosary with Exposition and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity Chapel. During this prayerful time, Chaplains Rev. Joseph Illo and Rev. Sebastian Walshe, O.Praem. ('94), generously heard confessions; and outside of the Chapel's mahogany confessionals formed two beautifully long lines of students seeking to avail themselves of the sacrament.
Following the Rosary, Prefect Dan Selmeczy — who is widely recognized in these parts as The Greatest Dance Teacher in the World — began preparing students for the end-of-the-program dance, instructing them in the rumba, foxtrot, and swing. "As I walked around, I didn't have to stop to help the couples as much I was expecting," says prefect Annalisa Tombelli. "They all picked up the steps really well, and there were smiles on every face."
Soon after curfew, the ladies of St. Monica's Residence Hall were startled to hear music coming from outside their courtyard. When they looked out their windows, they saw the men of the Summer Program singing "Stand by Me," followed by "Happy Birthday," after which they presented a cake to one young woman who was celebrating her birthday. In gratitude, the ladies gave the gentlemen a batch of freshly baked chocolate-chip cookies. The serenade made such an impression that it was the subject of conversation at breakfast on Friday.
Friday's classes consisted of stimulating conversations about Fabre and Pascal. The prefects report being very impressed with the thoughtfulness of students' classroom comments. Meanwhile, all look forward to tonight's dramatic reading of Macbeth. The photo below shows some students eagerly signing up for the parts in the performance!

News has reached us of a new pair of wireless Bluetooth headphones, called, rather oddly, the Energy Earphones BT Sport.
Featuring Bluetooth 4.0 and control talk technology, the headphones will let you take calls via the built-in mic during heavy sports sessions. To the best of our knowledge, they have no affiliation with BT Sport the channel.
The in-ear 'phones use silicone ear-cushions that are available in three different sizes: S, M & L and are designed to fit snugly inside your lugholes and block out the rest of the world.
Buttons built into the earphones mean you don't have to get your phone out to turn the volume up and down or skip tracks and in case you run low on battery the earphones will beep.
You can also sync the earphones with two devices at the same time and move freely with its wide rage (up to 10 meters).
It's obviously a busy time in the world of wireless running headphones as Beats by Dre has just revealed its new Powerbeats 2 wireless headphones.
The Energy Earphones BT Sport are available in three different colours: pink, black and green, and include a carrying case.

This weekend, I popped over to San Francisco on business and caught a bit of the city's kinda underwhelming Cinco de Mayo celebration at Dolores Park (I think there was a ban on alcohol at the event. While I'm no drinker, I do concede the libation's role as social lubricant and crowd loosener-upper). The standout presentation was the traditional Mexican dance company Ensambles Ballet Folklórico de San Francisco, which gave an impressive performance of the various regional dances of Mexico.

(confirmed! register now) DONG GANG (RIVER) ONE DAY RAFTING TOUR
Join the RAS as we take an adventurous rafting tour along the scenic Dong-gang River in Gangwon province. The Dong River or Donggang is a serpentine, 60 kilometer-long stream flowing through rugged limestone terrain in mountainous Gangwon province's Yeongweol, Pyeongchang, and Jeongseon counties. Besides boasting breathtaking scenery, the Donggang is an ecological jewel–as it is the only remaining virgin territory in South Korea, boasting a wealth of rare flora and fauna. It is often compared to Guilin in China, a world famous tourist destination owing to its picturesque limestone mountains; however, the Dong River retains a more pristine and serene atmosphere, according to tourist experts.
Guided by environmentalists and conservationists this eco-tour is an extraordinary opportunity for Koreans and foreign residents alike to discover the unspoiled backwoods of the nation. The Dong River provides a natural habitat for wild ducks, herons, and such endangered feathered species as the painted gooseander or "hosa biori" in Korean. The valley also features such rare animals as the otter, which is on the verge of extinction in the southern half of the peninsula. Until recently the Dong River was relatively unknown to most Koreans. For many years, the Korean government was discussing whether or not to build a dam. However, the government has decided not to build a dam so that it can preserve the natural habitat of the area.
Our rafting course is about 14-15 kilometers long and will take about 3 and 1/2 hours of rafting including a one hour rest stop along the way. The course is rated Class II-III, suitable for novices and intermediates, and is excellent for the whole family! The course of the river that we will be taking is peaceful and not at all rough. This tour is aimed to be just a leisurely trip down the river, enjoying the scenery. The bus will depart from Yongsan Post Office (Subway line number 4, blue line, Sinyongsan Station #429 exit 1) at 8:00 a.m. On the way to Jeongseon we will briefly stop for a quick 20 minute coffee stop on the Yeongdong Highway. We will have lunch before we get on the rafting boat.
River rafting from JINTAN to SOBSE
We will arrive at Mahajintan which is south of Jeongseon in Gangwon Province. Here we will pass through some small rapids and Tortoise Rock on our way to the Eorayon Valley. After 15 minutes of rest, we will get back into our boats for more rafting through the scenic valley. We will also visit a pebble beach near Eorayon Valley to look around beautiful scenery and then we will pass Doenkkokal Rapids. The boat trip will end at about 4:30 p.m. at Seopsae where the charter bus will be waiting for us to go home. Our return time will be 8:30 p.m. in Seoul.
Participants should bring:
A packed lunch (however, you will also have the opportunity to purchase your lunch along the way), some dry clothes (you WILL get wet!!!) a towel, a pair of sport sandals, a waterproof camera, a cap and a waterproof bag to keep your things dry. Don't even bother to bring your cell phone because - they won't even work out there!
The cost of the tour will be W83,000 for members and W99,600 for non-members and includes TRANSPORTATION and the RAFTING BOAT costs only. Please remember to bring your own packed lunch or you can purchase a Korean meal at the rest stop along the way. OTHER COSTS ARE AT THE EXPENSE OF TOUR PARTICIPANTS.

Incorrect Landlord Details
My husband and his business partner own a house which they let and which I take responsibility for (my husband and I own other properties so I look after all of them). A while ago I realised that our letting agent (who we used on a fully-managed basis) had put my name (only) as the landlord on the tenancy agreement, and not either of the legal owners. I brought it to their attention and they said they would rectify it and duly sent us a new tenancy agreement with the correct landlord details on. We have now left this agent having had numerous problems with them and it has become apparent that they had simply printed off a new front page for our benefit and that nothing was changed with the tenant.
The new agent was all set to arrange a new agreement with the tenant, but his contact number no longer works and he has not responded to their letters. When they knocked on the door someone else answered who says he now lives at the property with the tenant. He could not supply a contact number for himself or the tenant and the agent said he seemed "dodgy" (so much so that they are going to visit in twos from now on). To complicate things further there was originally a second tenant who moved out but of course is still on the original incorrect tenancy agreement. Our new agent says that this new person needs to move out or go on a new tenancy agreement (but there are costs to the tenant, credit checks etc which they unlikely to agree to) and failing that recommends that we serve notice. But can we do this if the legal owners are not the landlords on the tenancy agreement? (Two other details that may be relevant: 1- The rent has always been paid on time. 2- We have had a letter from the council a couple of months ago stating there have been complaints about loud music coming from the property - the previous agent says they wrote warning them about this). I would be very grateful for your advice please.

Acidity is defined as the presence of too much hydrogen (H+) in the body. Lactic acid is a normal acid because it is a one proton (H+) donor, which means that for every lactate ion there is a corresponding hydrogen proton. Most acids in the body are one proton donors. Acidity leads to inflammation which further stresses the body. A perfect example of this would be lactic acidosis.
Lactic acidosis is the phrase most people are familiar with when it comes to the presence of lactic acid in the body. The accuracy of this concept has been brought into question through more recent research as discussed at length in the article "The Lactate/Lactic Acid Debate – An Outsider's Perspective". No matter which side of the debate one chooses to believe, the fact remains that during strenuous exercise there is an accumulation of both hydrogen protons (H+) and lactate in the muscles. Since lactic acid completely dissociates in an aqueous environment and since the body is an aqueous environment by definition, it is irrelevant as to how and why both the H+ and lactate increase for the purposes of this discussion. What is relevant is that the neutralization of the H+ through elimination will decrease the burdens on the muscles, allowing them to recover more quickly and remain active for a longer period of time. It is with this fact in mind that we set out to find a solution.
Nature has provided the perfect solution to acidity – hydroxide (OH–). The formula is simple: H+ + OH– = H2O. When a hydroxide ion is introduced to the body it seeks out a hydrogen proton (ACIDITY) to combine with it and become water.
The process by which the acidity is eliminated is called transformational neutralization because the fundamental nature of the acidity is changed. A normal alkaline water has the ability to buffer acidity by adding alkaline minerals which counter the positive charge of the acidity but does not eliminate the acidity. This is neutralization through buffering. In transformational neutralization, the acidity becomes water and ceases to exist as an acid.
The product with the most free hydroxide and highest pH available is AQUA OH–!™. AQUA OH–!™ has a pH of at least 12 and yields a drinkable hydroxide solution of up to 11 plus yet it is not caustic. The pH measurement demonstrates the acid ELIMINATING potential of the hydroxide found in AQUA OH–!™. No other product eliminates acidity more effectively or to a greater degree.
AQUA OH–!™ is LAB CERTIFIED to neutralize lactic acid. Click HERE to see our lab results.

Delray Beach Marriot
Spa Trek
Unwinding: Massages at the N reagan Spa, which opens this month, start at $115 for a full hour.
Guests at the Delray Beach Marriott at Atlantic Avenue and the Atlantic Ocean have their choice of more than 100 boutiques, galleries, cafes and restaurants in a brickpaved shopping district just steps away. But the hotel is adding amenities it hopes will keep them mostly on the hotel's grounds.
This month, Marriott is opening a two-story N Reagan Spa, including a fi tness facility, his and her lounges, pool, Jacuzzi and treatment rooms.
"It adds a great value for our customers -- another amenity for them that they don't have to leave the property to enjoy," says the hotel's general manager, Bob LaCasse.
The spa is a joint project between the hotel and longtime local spa owner Nancy Reagan, no relation to the former fi rst lady. The fi tness center will offer yoga, pilates, tai chi and a business lunch deal that includes a 25-minute facial or massage.
Normal service at the spa costs $115 for a one-hour massage and $115 to $350 for a facial with anti-aging skin-care products.
Room rates range from $99 a night in summer months for Florida residents to $399 a night in season.
