Signal for What?
A signal is a set of analyses utilized by forex traders in order to gauge and determine if a currency pair is eligible to be bought or sold at any given time. These signals, specifically for forex, may be based on the technical analysis of chart tools and events based on news regarding the market. Trade signals come in a myriad of forms; they can be in bull or bear pennants, a continuous patterns in technical analysis formed during large movements, wedges, rectangles, triangles, and lastly, head-and-shoulder chart patterns. Trading signals are either for free, come with a fee, or, if you're a good enough trader, developed by traders themselves.
Breaking Signals Down
Forex trading signals are executed in two ways, manual or automated. When executing signals through the manual system, traders are seen to be sitting in front of a computer screen, watching and waiting for signals. Once found these signals are interpreted if a currency is to be bought or sold.
The automated system on the other hand, has the trader "tutoring and guiding" the software with what signals to keep an eye out for and once found, how to interpret them. It is said that the automated system omits a key element that is important to almost majority of traders and that is the psychological element.
Both of these signals are found and can be purchased on the internet. An important thing to note is that a "perfect" trading signal exists and that traders will have to rely on what knowledge and data are made available to them.

Dan Savage overwhelmed by gay outreach's response
Dan Savage and his partner shot the first It Gets Better Project video in their Seattle home. It turned out poorly - too much about their bad experiences as teens, not enough about their good times as adults - so they brought the camera and sound gear to a local bar and tried again, focusing on their joys as a couple raising a preteen son.
Then they uploaded the message on YouTube and waited.
"Honest to God, we put up our video and thought 'Are we going to be the only ones?' " Savage, 46, said by phone.
Two and a half weeks later, the author and sex advice columnist's online experiment is a phenomenon, thanks in part to a bit of tragic timing: The high-profile suicides of several gay teens, particularly 18-year-old Rutgers University student Tyler Clementi, who killed himself after a voyeuristic video of an intimate encounter in his dorm room was allegedly made by his roommate and broadcast online. Clementi, a promising young violinist, apparently sought advice from a gay-themed online chat site after his date was cybercast and reportedly told his dorm's resident adviser about the incident. But none of that was enough to keep him from jumping to his death from the George Washington Bridge.
Focusing just on teenagers
While Clementi's suicide has evoked a flurry of media chatter about online bullying in general, the focus of the It Gets Better Project is specifically on gay teens.
Savage and Terry Miller's original 8 1/2-minute video, a message to gay teens who might be feeling discouraged or suicidal, has been followed by hundreds more, made by gay men and women of all races, religions and levels of celebrity. Savage said the success is prompting him to set up a website - by the beginning of this week, the It Gets Better Project had reached its YouTube channel limit of 650 favorited videos. (The channel is still accepting uploads for the project.)
Savage said the idea for the project occurred to him much earlier, after hearing about some less widely reported suicides. While it might be easier to be young and out near big cities, bullying and victimization are getting worse in suburbs and rural areas, Savage said.
"Every time I heard about a gay teenager dying, I thought, 'I wish I could have talked to that kid for five minutes, to tell him it gets better,' " Savage said. "I get invitations to talk at colleges all the time. But I would never get an invitation to speak at a high school. I would never get permission to talk to a gay 13-year-old boy about how great it can be to live as an openly gay adult. And then I thought, 'Why am I waiting for permission, or an invitation, when there's YouTube?' "
The response was slow at first, but has increased exponentially in the past week. "Glee" actor Chris Colfer, "Project Runway" host Tim Gunn, and "Star Trek" star Zachary Quinto have contributed. Locally, the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus produced a video, and state Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, showed up in another.
Leno's cameo appeared in a video produced by San Francisco journalist and Stop8.org founder Matt Baume, who sent out an open invitation on Facebook and ended up shooting hours of It Gets Better footage with a San Francisco theme. His three-minute, montage-style video already has more than 75,000 views, and he hopes to use the remaining footage for a more detailed film.
Baume said he was first drawn to the simplicity of Savage's message.
"He found three words that really effectively articulate what it is to have made it through a very difficult time," Baume said. "That's what I think makes it so strong and why it resonates with so many people. It's a very familiar feeling. These are words that I think we would have appreciated (hearing) ourselves."
Site's growing pains
Savage said he is thrilled by the volume and diversity of the contributions. But the project is already feeling growing pains. The writer has been contacted by school administrators, who are hesitant to use the site as a teaching tool because a few videos have a risque tone or contain sexual themes. Among other contributors, transsexual adult film star Buck Angel contributes a very touching (and arguably PG-rated) segment.
"I made it, and you can make it too," Angel said, choking back tears. "There's so much help out there today for you guys."
Savage said he would have done a few things differently, starting with his complexion. ("If I had known so many young people were going to watch it - 600,000 times at this point - I would have had better lighting and worn some makeup.") He is also worried that too many participants are repeating his initial mistake, presenting a laundry list of suffering, ending with a quick "It gets better" and a goodbye.
But Savage, whose sex advice column "Savage Love" appears in SF Weekly and the East Bay Express, said he thinks the website will solve a lot of problems, allowing for categorical searches so young gay viewers can find someone who speaks to their specific situation. Among other contributors, there is a video from a Muslim man, and multiple messages from gay men and women with Mormon upbringings.
No easy resolutions
Savage said he doesn't intend to steal the thunder from more established programs. When supporters offer donations, he refers them to the Trevor Project, which provides a suicide hot line and other services for gay teens.
"I've gotten some criticisms that these videos don't solve the problems for a bullied gay kid. And you know what? They don't," Savage said, running down a list of major issues that need to be solved in schools, workplaces and at home. "But we can't get all that stuff done by tomorrow. We can get these videos up today."

Rally tonight
Affirmation: Gay & Lesbian Mormons is planning a Stand Up to Youth Suicide rally and march at 6:30 tonight at the San Francisco Civic Center, followed by a candlelight march to Harvey Milk Plaza at Market and Castro streets. Find more information at www.affirmation.org.

Hey Everybody here's another piece of writing that talks more in depth about what I do at the hospital I sent this article to the people who put together the Chicken Soup for the Soul books but it didn't make it. Enjoy!
One thought on "The Unexpected Visitor"
Rachael, I read some of your blog and I must tell you though I don't consider myself to be "pious" or "devout" to anything, your stories of you and your family are inspiring and remind me of the kind of love and compassion that my own family and a lot of others LACK. The Christian church does not seem very appealing to me nowadays because of all the contradictions that go on inside of it, and I understand that we're only human. What you've said in your blog about Jesus Christ himself, however, I think is one of the best commentaries I've read in YEARS about the nature of his being and how the whole thing works, because believe me, I'm one of the biggest "backsliders" you'll ever meet, and so the term "Christian" is definitely not one I can wear with confidence, if at all. Truth be told, I consider myself to be a lot like the Apostle Paul who, if you were to paraphrase, basically says that Heaven is a place that not any one of us DESERVES because people are CRAP, and I know it sounds negative when we say it this way, but if you really want to talk about Scripture and the relationship of human beings to God here on earth, this is what it's really all about! So for myself, I would say that I have met Christ by receiving a visit from the Holy Spirit, and I would say that Christ, in His own way, has showed me that His way is really that easy, but because I've made it complicated as a stupid human, it's become complicated, and it's no one's foolishness to blame but my own. So now, when we we're kids growing-up and you tried to talk to me about "God," my natural response back then was, of course, "Nope, I can't see him!" Over 20 years later, I see the destruction that my own backsliding has caused, and I see that my family is jacked-up because there is no "Spirit" there. I think it's bull and I don't want to believe any of it, until I read your stories here on Blogger and see the kind of joy and true satisfaction that you and your family have. Then I look at your family and I compare them to me and mine, and I see that you and your family are much more "together" than we are! My kid sister is pregnant with a guy who's illegal, my mom left my dad for my cousin's ex-husband, my grandparents on my mom side are divorced after 45 years of marriage because my grandfather was a wife beater who molested his children, I smoke pot on a regular basis and when I first moved to Woodland Hills I had an affair with a married woman. So what it all comes down to, I guess, is this: Is Rachael wrong for talking about Jesus Christ, or am I the one who's wrong for following Satan without even realizing it? After we die, we may not go anywhere; the whole battle between good and evil, heaven hell, might have just been a great myth the whole time! There may be no "Satan," and the whole "born-again" thing may just turn out to be a waste of time. All of this may turn out to be true in the very end, but at least I can look back to earth after I die and say, "Wow, Rachael and her family followed this whole "Christ" thing and I thought it was pretty funny, but looking back… look how much better Rachael and her family were as people than MYSELF!" Food for thought…

Miles Kane interview - Reading Festival 2011
'Our show was amazing, buzzing - I was a bit surprised'
Daniel Fahey - 27 August 2011
We caught up with Miles Kane following his Reading
Festival show to talk about the show, writing new songs and which he'd prefer out of The Strokes and Pulp.
Speaking about his performance, Kane called it: "Amazing, totally buzzing. It's probably one of the best festivals we've done."
He added: "For half one [1.30pm], we got booked a while ago, and it was rammed out. We got a circle mosh pit […] and it kicked off. It was amazing, buzzing, I was a bit surprised."
He also put a call out to the girls at the front of the crowd in the Radio 1/NME Tent who had made the 'Inhaler' signs saying: "If you're watching girls, I want one!"
Miles Kane performed at Reading Festival 2011 on Friday and will play Leeds Festival 2011 today (Saturday).
Virtual Festivals are live from both Reading and Leeds Festival 2011 this weekend and you can keep up to date by heading to our Don't Miss section or following us on Facebook and Twitter for more action.

The Holy Spirit in the Life of the Church
Jump to: About Endorsements & Reviews Contributors Bio(s)
In the midst of today's change and reform, Christians everywhere are rediscovering the tremendous vitality that results from the continuing activity of the Holy Spirit in individual lives and in church bodies. In The Holy Spirit in the Life of the Church, experts in the area of biblical, historical, and doctrinal theology describe this expanding awareness of the Spirit's renewing work. The doctrine of the Holy Spirit is reexamined and a sound rationale is provided for the Spirit's continuing activity throughout and beyond the church.
Endorsements & Reviews-
"A great deal of the church's weakness and lack of effective leadership in society springs from a failure to recover a deeper and wider vision of the workings of the Holy Spirit."

Vodafone is a trusted connectivity partner with many successful automotive customers. We help them enhance existing in-car services for new vehicle owners. Our customers seek our expertise and technical competency and in turn we offer a truly connected car experience, on top of the existing services offered today through Vodafone Automotive by enabling a car to become a Wi-Fi hotspot. However, the hurdle, which is often seen through the introduction of new technologies; was a hurdle that neither our customers nor Vodafone could not foresee - the changing landscape for telecommunication consumers in Europe. The continued threat, caused by extremists, is filtering into the everyday life. Where once there was freedom to buy a pre-paid mobile SIM and to walk out of the store without any questions asked have gone.
As a Product Manager I work closely with each country to present the product to a wide audience on how a consumer can successfully and legally register for an active Wi-Fi hotspot, which allows the driver and passengers to use the connectivity. Our Internet in the car is a pre-paid connectivity product – positioned as a Wi-Fi product – but categorised differently in every market by the nature of the use of the SIM card.Vodafone's internet in the car service is live across 17 countries in Europe with a further 5 more to be added by Autumn with 3 Automotive customers and will be extended to other Car Brands as the service evolves.
Senior leaders within various network operators are educated on how a vehicle becomes a Wi-Fi hotspot. The due diligence performed during product development ensures that automotive customers can have a legally compliant service offering for consumers – be it a car or a scooter (Bolt AppScooter launching in 2018).
Our secure and fast connection keeps us ahead of the competition and allows us to deliver an innovative consumer product to the market.

The primary objective of this proposal is to facilitate my development into an independent research scientist. This objective will be accomplished through a combination of active mentorship, didactic training, enrichment activities, and research. 100% of my time is committed to research. The mentorship phase is well described by my mentors and includes weekly contact and formal course work. The core of my research focuses on the pathopharmacology of the maternal-placental-fetal unit. Intrauterine infection is a major threat to mother and fetus. It is associated with more than 50% of women who deliver prematurely and is implicated in fetal / neonatal neurological and respiratory damage. Antibiotics are the primary treatment for infections during pregnancy, but because of poor placental transfer, fetal concentrations achieved are subtherapeutic. How the placenta regulates the transfer of antibiotics to the fetus is unclear, as is the impact of infection on drug transport. My preliminary data indicate there is up- regulation of the drug efflux transporters, multidrug resistence protein 1 (MDR1) and breast cancer resistence protein (BCRP), in the placenta of women with infection and associated chorioamnionitis. MDR1 and BCRP induction at the placental barrier could result in altered fetal drug exposure due to their broad substrate specificity and high level of expression in human placenta. The progressive research proposal addresses three core question: First, how does intra-amniotic infection affect placental MDR1/Mdr1a/b and BCRP/Bcrp1 (Mdr1a/b, Bcrp1, murine homologs of human MDR1 and BCRP)? Second, how do changes in MDR1/Mdr1a/b and BCRP/Bcrp1 activity affect the placental transfer and efficacy of antibiotics? Third, can drug delivery be manipulated by inhibiting the pathways that regulate transporter expression? In Specific Aim 1, I test the hypothesis that infection alters placental Mdr1a/b and Bcrp1 using a relevant mouse model of Ureaplasma infection and quantifying placental transporter levels.
In Specific Aim 2, I test the hypothesis that modulation of Mdr1a/b and Bcrp1 alters the fetal distribution and therapeutic efficacy of antibiotics by measuring fetal drug levels and neonatal outcomes in wild-type, Mdr1a/b-/- (knockout) mice, Bcrp1-/- (knock-out) mice, and infected (Ureaplasma) mice.
In Specific Aim 3, I propose to inhibit several prostaglandin (PG) E2 cascade elements, using pharmacological inhibitors and siRNA to test the hypothesis that prostaglandin (PG) E2 differentially regulates placental MDR1/Mdr1a/b and BCRP/Bcrp1 expression. The results will help predict how pathophysiological responses to infection in pregnancy affect the placental transfer and therapeutic efficacy of antibiotics. By the completion of these studies, I will have greatly expanded the scope of knowledge in efflux transporter mechanisms relevant to pregnancy and achieved independence as a research scientist.
These studies will increase our knowledge of transporter mechanisms relevant to pregnancy and help predict how pathophysiological responses to infection in preterm pregnancy will affect the placental transfer and therapeutic efficacy of drugs.

What a breath of fresh air — for me, anyway, and I hope for you: a new design for my website! It's still not fully functional with all the capabilities of the new template, but it's at least as functional as the last. All things in good time.
This week I got some good news, following my application and interview for exhibiting (full) membership at Cooperative Gallery 213 in Binghamton: I was accepted! I am SO looking forward to working with this group of serious and highly skilled artists to show our work in the heart of the Binghamton Arts District. Also eager to get involved in some of the public arts projects connected to the gallery, with friends old and new who are already members.
Last night, Sweetie and I went to the opening reception of the Members Only group show at Windsor Whip Works Art Center. It's an unjuried show, so the quality varies widely, but there's some stunning work there. (The show runs through March 1.) And it was a fun party — a full house, shoulder-to-shoulder, a really nice refreshment spread, and a really fun bunch of people, several of whom are my new colleagues at Cooperative 213.
So while a forecast major snow storm envelopes us over the next couple of days, I'll be getting further into the first of a new series of paintings — top of this page — so far untitled. Looks like this will be a satisfyingly productive year for me; hope it is for you as well!

The truth, Grenth forgive us, is something much worse. One of our Order, a promising Necromancer named Verata, has been experimenting with new ways to enhance and maintain summoned minions. Normally this would be a good thing, however, in his lust for power Verata has been kidnapping Ascalon citizen for use in his experiments! He was also spotted waylaying travelers coming up into the mountains from Ascalaon. We must stop him, quickly and discreetly, before anyone can link the disappearances with our Order."

I have promos in 2 weeks and I'm writing this blog post. Excellent… Anyway I wanted to write this since this is kinda relevant for now, so here goes,
"Doing your best", it means give your all, 100% dedication. Sounds easy, but easier said than done. We are often encouraged to do our best, and we'll be fine. But are we really putting in 100%, ALL of your effort, making use of anything possible? Even when we do, sometimes our best isn't good enough. Even when we pushed our limits, it doesn't make the cut. There are 100 athlete out there trying to break Usian Bolt's record 100m timing of 9.58s, but they can't, because they reached their limit. So is your best good enough?
We learn that there is always something that it is impossible to achieve, something something is able to do, but not yourself. And when our best fall short of expectations, we slump and do even worse because we think that our best isn't good enough, so why try? It's a matter of pushing your own limits, because there is never a fixed 100%, it is how you push your boundaries. It's about believing that you can do it, and putting your words into action. Having the right mentality is good, but if you think you are going to achieve it by dreaming about it, well have fun in your limbo.
3 years ago, I was at a low point of my life. I screwed up my life, I screwed up anything possible of what's left with it. I had no limits, because I didn't have something in mind. Thanks to the support of my faggy classmates, I managed to get back up. Even when I failed miserably before, if you put in effort, things will happen. When I got back my results of my EOY, I was happy even though I'm the last 25% of the cohort (<–LOL). I passed all my subjects, something I never achieved before. I know this is really noob compared to the other smartass people in my school, but I did it. I did something which I would not believe I would have done. With a positive mindset and a never-say-die attitude, nothing is impossible.
I've got a theory that if you give 100 percent all of the time, somehow things will work out in the end. ~ Larry Bird
Fast forward to this year, if you asked me at the beginning of the year if I could play the drums, let alone be in a band, I would laugh at the thought. Thanks to Dillon, I managed to join Guitar even though I failed the audition. So here I am with 47 other guitarist, all supposedly better than me because they did one thing I couldn't pass, pass that fucking audition. Dillon wanted to form a band, and I was the obvious choice for playing the drums since I had a little experience with the drums in CO. My first experience with a real drum set was awful, I played the drums like I was hitting the chinese drum, my foot was inactive as practically stoning there. But after six months, I played at 4 performances, had a drum solo, and won 1st place in Dunman High's centerstage, defeating past year champions along the way. Miracle much… I believed I didn't really put in my 100%, maybe 80%… But I believed I could do it. Confidence can do wonders. Now, I'm even more excited to learn more about drumming, even if I never gotten professional help before. Take Cobus for example, 3 years ago he posted his first video, now his videos has 50 million views, and everywhere around him is practically sponsored, his drums, his cymbals, his mikes. And for someone who hadn't had professional help as well and self-learn drums himself, it's godly. Passion is what drives him, even when he had all those nasty blisters, he just wrapped them and continue. When I had one blister, I would complain, and now I feel like a pussy. If you have the determination to push your boundaries, they will be broken. This is what make people successful, because they are not afraid of the consequences, and even if they fail , they will try again until they succeed.
Life doesn't require that we be the best, only that we try our best.
~ H.Jackson Brown
I have come to understand that I have nothing more to offer than, simply my best. I learnt to stop comparing others around me, as it is illogical for a someone who's failing all his subjects to becoming the top all of a sudden. But I'll try to achieve that goals, one small step at a time, and in this journey, sacrifices are definitely needed.
No Sacrifice, No Victory ~ Sam Witwicky (Transformers)
I'll end this post with a story Mr Ng showed us before, which I actually saw the day before with my dad. It's about this guy in China who lost both his arms in an accident, yet he chose not to let his disabilities be a negative factor and managed to play a beautiful piece on the piano… with his TOES. God some people require years to play it with their fingers. Losing both his arms did not deter him from his ambition of being a great music producer. He started practicing the piano at the age of 19 and admitted that it was tough at first. Although, he suffered from cramps and abrasion, he persevered. Life is never, never a smooth journey. His performance left one judge speechless and Liu Wei was asked how he was able to do it. His response? "I think there are only two roads that I can choose in my life. One is to give up which would lead to a hopeless death. The other is to live life wonderfully. Nobody says that to play a piano, one can only use his hands."
No complaints from me for this year. Push yourself and fight hard, people. This includes me, who would go back to his Economics after this post…
Sorry I couldn't resist posting a SNSD picture haha
P.S. I would change to a nice theme after my Promos, it is getting kinda dull in here.

'John Wick: Chapter 3' Will Shoot You in the Face on May 17, 2019
Posted on Thursday, September 14th, 2017 by Jacob Hall
"People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer…but yeah, I'm thinking I'm back."
Seven months after John Wick: Chapter 2 arrived in theaters and promptly blew everyone's faces off with its distinctive blend of action movie mania, Lionsgate has set a release date for John Wick: Chapter 3. And this release date finds the little series that could graduate to the big leagues.
Lionsgate and Summit have announced that the third entry in the greatest American action series of the 21st century (I'll go there) will open in theaters on May 17, 2019. The first John Wick opened in October 2014 and its sequel in February 2017, where they took advantage of less crowded movie seasons to clean up at the box office. The first film made $88 million at the international box office. The second made $171 million. It seems that the public got wise to these movies' genuine greatness in the time between entries.
In any case, it appears that the Hollywood powers that be think that Keanu Reeves' un-retired hitman is a powerful enough force to stand alongside the much larger movies that tend to call the summer home. With Star Wars: Episode 9 fleeing May 2019 in the wake of its directorial shake-up, the month was wide open…and the filmmakers behind the world's most skilled killer and dog lover and wife mourner and headshot enthusiast saw an opportunity.
Chad Stahelski, who co-directed the first film and helmed Chapter 2 solo, is set to return alongside screenwriter Derek Kolstad. The second film ended with a major cliffhanger, with John finding himself the most wanted man on the face of the planet and no allies left in his corner. But if there's one thing we know about John Wick, it's that he doesn't go down smoothly. As long as he access to bullets (or even a pencil), he will kill anyone and everyone to survive and exact brutal vengeance.
And most importantly, this means another opportunity for Stahelski and Kolstad to build on the fascinating and increasingly complex mythology they constructed in the first two movies. Come for the exquisitely choreographed action, stay for that weirdest, wildest world-building you've seen in any mainstream action movie.
Although there have been rumblings that Chapter 3 will be the final John Wick movie, Lionsgate sees this as a world they can continue exploring. A television spin-off set in the John Wick universe is in the works, along with a movie set in the same world and a prequel comic book. While details are scarce, here's everything we know about the sequel so far.
I've written thousands of words on why the John Wick movies are remarkable cinema. So bring on part three. Bring on more scowling Keanu and cute dogs. Bring on more mysterious assassin hotels and awesome character actors. Bring on more bone-crunching stunts and outrageous action scenes. I'm ready. Let's do this.

Deaf congregation in Aberdeen welcomes new minister
Published on 13 December 2018
Rev Mary Whittaker, who is the only Deaf* minister across the Church of Scotland, has been inducted as minister to the deaf congregation of St John's Church in Aberdeen and the North Region of Scotland.
Mary, who was originally born in Yorkshire but has lived in the north east of Scotland for most of her life, had her induction service at St John's Church on Thursday 6 December.
Her new parish covers thousands of square miles from Perth to Shetland and Aberdeen to the Outer Hebrides and Skye.
'Only when one passes through challenging moments can one find inner strength and deeper faith in God'
Speaking on how she originally felt the call to ministry, Mary said:
"I was in a college for the Deaf when I first visited a Deaf-led church in London.
"After two years, I wanted to be a minister but I was advised by a Deaf elder to get life experience first. Looking back, it was very good advice as I was only 19 years old.
"Only when one passes through some difficult and challenging moments can one find inner strength and deeper faith in God.
"After gaining a BSc (Hons) in Life Science in London, I moved to Aberdeen and became a member of St John's Church for Deaf People and have been based there ever since."
It was whilst in Aberdeen that Mary started studying Christian Studies part-time at the University of Aberdeen and completed the Auxiliary Minister Training course in 2011.
She was then ordained into Lossiemouth as the first Deaf British Sign Language (BSL) user in the Church of Scotland – and is currently one of only two deaf ministers in the whole of Scotland.
"A year later, I became a locum for St John's Deaf Church. I felt a further call to transition into full time ministry but I was advised to go back to the University of Aberdeen for two years to gain a Bachelor of Divinity (BD)," Mary said.
"In the same year after I graduated, I started as a probationer minister, mostly with Ferryhill Parish Church in Aberdeen, as well as continuing with St John's Church for Deaf People and Moray Deaf Church under the guidance of the Interim Moderator – who is able to sign.
"It was a very valuable and enjoyable challenge which would not be possible without the team of BSL-English interpreters and communication support workers."
Becoming a bridge-building and inclusive church
By the time Mary accepted the role at St John's Church and the North Region of Scotland, she felt her previous experiences had helped equip her with the knowledge of how to become more welcoming and inclusive to Deaf people in the church setting.
"I have had experiences with a hearing church even with an interpreter but it never felt inclusive," she said.
"However, a good example was shown by Ferryhill Parish Church when I became their probationer minister.
"Over time we have worked together to become a bridge-building and inclusive church, bringing both Deaf and hearing people together. It was all by trial and error, but well worth it."
Mary advises churches to consider that "there is a very wide range of deafness and each person has their own needs.
"Many questions can be raised such as the cause of deafness, the age of onset, how severe the hearing loss is, which communication tactics are the best, and the benefit (or not) of using hearing aids.
"Deafness is a complicated issue and never assume that a deaf person needs an interpreter (most don't) or to be given a copy of sermon notes (not helpful if the person also has dyslexia).
"Most deaf people lose their hearing and it can be very traumatic for them as the world is full of sounds.
"Give them time and work with only one person at a time as each person is different.
"Bear in mind that one thing that helps one person may not be helpful for another. Do not be afraid to talk with a deaf person and experiment to find the best way to include themin a service.
"Be aware that some of them find it difficult or won't accept their deafness. Remember to be sensitive and look out or listen for a clue such as 'I can't hear you without my glasses', indicating that this person needs to be able to lip-read as part of a strategy to hear better. Some people have glasses with hearing aid(s) attached, which is also a helpful indicator.
"Overall, the best person you can ask is the deaf person directly."
Mary says, in her new role, she would like to introduce bespoke training such as BSL Awareness training or a basic welcoming BSL workshop in order to help individual churches reach their full potential as an inclusive church for all.
"Jesus called us to spread the Good News to all people and that includes profoundly Deaf people who use BSL," Mary concluded.
'I believe God can use animals to help some people'
During her spare time, Mary obtained a black belt in kickboxing earlier this year, and enjoys arts and crafts as well as walking her hearing dog, Scott, during her special moments with God and nature.
Scott has been a valuable companion to Mary for over seven years, and has been trained to respond in specific ways to sounds such as doorbells, oven timers, alarm clocks and fire alarms.
"He is also a great ice-breaker when I meet new people and usually people come and talk to the dog before me!" Mary added.
"Scott normally comes with me everywhere – training courses, church services, pastoral visits, hospitals, etc.
"However, not when I'm conducting a funeral. I learned from my sister who looked after him during a funeral and told me that the emotional environment was too much for him and he 'cried' loudly.
"As Scott is a laid-back dog, people who find they cannot talk to me, open themselves up to him. I don't mind this as I believe God can use animals to help some people."
Mary's advice for Deaf people who are considering following the call into ministry
Mary's inspirational commitment to providing an inclusive space across the Church of Scotland is clear in the advice she sends to other Deaf people who are considering following their call into ministry.
"Go for it. Be prepared for the hard times life can throw at you," Mary said.
"It is important to trust in God, even when there are times you feel so far away from Him.
"It is essential to have support from your family, friends and your local church to help you, no matter how large or small the situation is.
"Don't be afraid of making mistakes and failures, for you can learn a lot from them – it is part of the life experience."
A wealth of experience and a 'highly respected' minister to the deaf community
Rev John Ferguson, Presbytery Clerk for Aberdeen, warmly welcomed the appointment of Rev Mary Whittaker.
"Aberdeen Presbytery is delighted that Mary has been appointed to St John's Church in Aberdeen and to the North Region of Scotland," John said.
"Mary brings a wealth of experience to the role and is highly respected among the deaf community in the north of Scotland and beyond.
"After a vacancy of around four years, it's great to see a minister appointed to St John's who will undoubtedly do an excellent job.
"While Mary will clearly be doing quite a bit of travelling, it is intended that full use will be made of new technology, whereby church services will be streamed online for example.
"On behalf of Aberdeen Presbytery and the many other presbyteries Mary will cover, we wish her every blessing in her new role."
Rev Mary Whittaker's induction service was attended by members of the congregation alongside Lorna Glen, Moderator of Aberdeen Presbytery, Rev Dr Nigel Parker, who led the worship, Rev Rosie Addis, Daran Golby,Partnerships and Development Secretary with the Ministries Council, and the Presbytery Clerk for Aberdeen, Rev Dr John Ferguson. Lesley Crerar acted as the interpreter.
*Capital letter Deaf implies those who were born deaf or became deaf pre-lingually and use British Sign Language (BSL) as their first/preferred language.

Back in May 2027, we had just bottled the Argentine Primera Division. In our final eight matches, we went on a three match winless streak that curtailed our chances of winning the league.
Unfortunately, this year is no different. We dominated the first half of the season and at one point lead the division by 5 clear points. But, as mentioned in our previous post, we went on a five match winless streak (including four losses in a row).
This meant that we were forever chasing both Independiente and Racing Club. And the gap was too great to surpass.
Unsurprisingly, it wasn't a case of the opposition being too good. We squandered our chance by losing to Racing Club, and a home defeat to San Lorenzo followed, ending our title hopes.
Copa Libertadores
The most frustrating element of our league form is how good we have been in the Copa Libertadores. Excluding the away leg in Brazil, we won every game and scored 22 goals in the process.
We have been drawn against Corinthians in the knockout stages of the competition to be played early next season.
Where Next?
Alejandro Hurtado, our Chilean manager, has seriously underachieved at River Plate. When we arrived at the club, it was expected that we retain the Argentine Primera Division for the third time in a row.
But we failed, finishing third in our first season. From here, anything but 1st place would be another failure.
River Plate are the biggest club in Argentine football and one of the biggest in South America. And in two full seasons we've finished third in the league twice. The only saving grace is our Copa Argentina victory in late 2027.
With a win percentage of 61% at River Plate, Hurtado has by no means been a complete failure. Indeed, the board consider his position to be secure.
But in Alejandro Hurtado's eyes he has failed. The expectation was to win the league at the first time of asking and failing to do this hurt that Chilean. Another season without league success added further pain.
The current position of our manager Hurtado is unknown. It is believed that he will remain as River Plate manager for the Copa Libertadores knockout rounds next season and see how the league season goes. Hurtado could well be on his way should results not go towards River Plate.

Thanks for reading this shorter update of VivaGlobetrotting.
The aim of this series was to win every top tier competition in South America. But this has now changed. It wouldn't make sense to go to the likes of Peru when we've managed this high up.
I like to play Football Manager in a realistic way, and therefore it wouldn't make sense for our manager Alejandro Hurtado to drop down the levels just to win the Peruvian top tier.
As such, I think a realistic aim for this save would be to win the European Champions League with Hurtado's ex-club Sevilla. Alejandro was bought by Sevilla from Deportes Puerto Montt to ignite his career before injury cut short his playing career.
It would be nice to go back to the club that gave him so much. But a trip to the United States is on the agenda for our Chilean hero and it is looking ever more likely that this will be his next step in management.

5 Proven Steps to eCommerce Success in Nigeria
September 19, 2016
|In Ecommerce, Agency Tips, SME Tips
|By Philip Ayomide
As humans, there are things we have tons of evidence for and aren't doing. And there are things we have no evidence for and we keep doing anyway. For instance, bodily exercise/workout has been proven to improve human health and well being yet a lot of us don't do it . On the other hand, there is no evidence to prove that spending more than you earn leads to riches, but a lot of people keep spending excessively anyways. These are basic, fundamental principles that most people take lightly.
The steps below also are basic and direct – no bullshit steps that if followed, leads to eCommerce success. Now whether or not they're followed is entirely up to you
1. Price
Without doubt, one of the most important decisions that drive Nigerians to buy anything online is how much it costs. Everyone is looking to find the best deals and known platform or online store for the best prices would definitely succeed. There is no point listing your item online when your price is way more than the average because buyers would check other platforms to find the best deals.
If you are looking to start an online store or you already have one that has a low conversion rate, my first point of call would be for you to do a price check and review your prices if you find them higher than the average across platforms.
2. Assortment
This means you have a wide range of products that customers can choose from. For instance, you don't want to sell just one type of bag because you have decided to sell bags. Why? Because customers get bored when they come online to see the same item over and over again. When buyers come to your store and find new items at good prices, they are compelled to buy. If you can't stuff various types of each item at the moment, you can list various colours of the same item. My advice to anyone who wants to retain customers would be to always increase assortment. This has been proven to increase customer retention. You need proof? Ask Amazon, Alibaba, Tencent.
3. Logistics
Lets assume you have got the best prices & assortment for your store, then you get an order from a buyer in a far location, next is to ensure the item gets to the customer on time. When selling online, its important to deliver to the customer on time. You would have to seek out a reliable logistics company. Thankfully, a lot of transport companies are now pivoting to "ecommerce logistics" in Nigeria because they commute to various locations across the country more often.
Tips for choosing a shipping company:
– Number of attempts: Ask them how many attempts they make to deliver an item to the customer – 3 attempts is okay.
– Remittance timeline: Ask how long it takes them to credit your account once delivery is made – 5days max.
– Returns process: Ask how long would it take to get back your item if your customer rejects it – usually 7 days.
– Number of attempts: Ask them how many attempts they make to deliver an item to the customer – 3 attempts is okay.
– Remittance timeline: Ask how long it takes them to credit your account once delivery is made – 5days max.
– Returns process: Ask how long would it take to get back your item if your customer rejects it – usually 7 days.
4. Mobile Optimization
Since 65% of internet users in Nigeria use their phones, its highly recommended that your online store is optimized for mobile phones & tablets. Usual trend for most sellers online is to create a desktop website first and then optimize for mobile later. I strongly advise that your go live on mobile first. Let Nigerians be able to place order on Opera, Chrome or Mozilla from their mobile devices. Trust me, if you are not optimized for mobile or your products appear blurry or disorganized on mobile, you are missing a lot of customers. Here's a good example from Karen Ubani
5. Social Media
Facebook & Instagram are thriving channels to bring new customers to your site. Create Facebook & Instagram accounts for your store. Post clear images & description, share tips related to what you sell. Buy Facebook ads for your store. Market your store through these channels when you have a price slash. This should be a never ending engagement platform. Take debras grace for example, they have learned over time to effectively push engagement on Instagram.
These steps are not shortcuts or easy ways to instant success, they are challenging and require a lot of time. But if I were to share the proven keys to selling online with my younger sisters, it would be this post.

Keeping track of keys at Festival Place had become a full-time job. With over 170 shops, a cinema, sports centre and restaurants, the large retail complex has an ever-changing roster of permanent staff, cleaners and out-of-hours contractors. Everyone requires secure entry on demand.
At the same time, the public needs open access to a pool and gym, retail outlets and car parks, for 18 hours or more every day. Lockdown was not an option, yet a single lost key could become a security problem for all users and tenants.
CLIQ® solution
The solution was CLIQ®, a security locking system with high-end microelectronics, programmable keys and cylinders. Installing just over 250 CLIQ® mechatronic cylinders from ASSA ABLOY drastically cut the burden that mechanical key management was placing on site security staff.
Now, cleaners and maintenance workers are issued with a key that allows entry to specific doors for a pre-defined time period. After the permitted time ends, the key no longer works. Using simple online software, site managers can immediately de-authorise and reissue a lost key, or amend any key's permissions.
A single lost key could become a security problem for all users and tenants
Only genuine CLIQ® keys with the relevant authorisation will open a CLIQ® lock, meaning security risks from copied keys are no longer an issue. Generating a comprehensive audit trail – who accessed which lock, and when – takes just a couple of mouse clicks.
Flexible, programmable locking solution
CLIQ® has also cut Festival Place operational costs. The electronics in CLIQ® locks are powered by the standard battery inside every CLIQ® key, not mains electricity. Installation was wireless, a huge saving on potentially expensive electrical work.
With CLIQ®, there is no need for keyholders to return to an administrator to change or update permissions. Everything is controlled remotely from the admin dashboard, streamlining everyone's workflows. At Festival Place, CLIQ® technology now powers a flexible, programmable locking solution. It has put security managers in control of their 102,000 sq. m premises, around the clock, without compromising security.
"We were looking to solve key management issues," explains Craig Allen, Festival Place's security centre manager. "CLIQ® enabled us to have more control. "We now have plans to phase out mechanical keys altogether, replacing them with CLIQ® within two years."

It's been a good while since I shared how I edit my Instagram pictures, and basically, the whole shebang has changed. I still faff around, but I guess I've streamlined the process and don't use half as many apps as I used to. For helping out with fashion blogging, these are the apps I use on a day to day basis…
Okay, quick run through on the pre-editing stuff as I get asked a fair bit about cameras and so on. For Instagram images, I currently use the Samsung NX Mini. For me, it's a handy size and does all I need for quick, but decent quality pictures. Lighting wise, I mainly try to stand in front of a big window for natural light, but having white walls does help to keep things nice and bright. I've used light boxes over the winter too, and reluctantly, that's probably what I'll opt for when the clocks change… Blogging over A/W is 10X more difficult!
Generally, I take most of my pictures by myself, using a tripod (or occasionally a selfie stick) and the timer feature. It works for me as I like the photography side of it as much as dressing up. Set up wise it means I don't have to rely on anyone else.
In my case, it's actually an 'app'. That's not to say I don't go to town when it comes to Instagram editing. Lol… I totally do, but I mostly use Enlight these days. It does pretty much all I need, I find it's the easiest to work with and the most advanced when it comes to features. I've almost said bye bye to VSCO after deciding their filters altered quality way too much, and only use Facetune if I'm having a desperately bad skin day.
Enlight mostly became my favourite because on almost all features (filters, brightening, denoiseing etc.) you can choose to apply it/remove it from certain areas. It's a dreeeam, meaning I can tan up on fake tan disasters, lighten random shadows and apply filters where they're flattering. My general routine on Enlight though is lighten, alter contrast, apply a B&W filter to backgrounds to make them extra white, smooth any skin issues and add detail/sharpen up any areas I want to draw attention to (jewellery, handbags, that kind of thing). I bother with filters less and less, but occasionally I use AD4, Lagoon or Cave which can be found on Adjust. Kayyyy, that does sound like a lengthy process, but I'm a girl taking pictures with a tripod in my bedroom… I need all the help I can get!
Other features that stand out for me on Enlight include their Heal tool and Mixer. With Heal, I can either clear up spots or use it to get rid of stuff in the background I'm not keen on – I use it most for getting rid of plug sockets! Mixer I use in a similar way – it allows you to mix two pictures together. So, say my cushion looks neater in the background of a different picture to what I'm using, I can use the better shot over the top of the original and wipe off areas I don't need. I also use it alongside Instafit to extend the background of pictures so they fit, without having to have white edges – the joys of usually going for a plain white background! I'm completely OTT when it comes to this kind of thing, but it just bugs me when things aren't quite right!
Anyway, above is an example for you. Main changes are lighting and background using Adjust and Mixer, but I've also toned down saturation (yup, tan disaster) and brought out some of the details on my face. I'm a Photoshopper's worst nightmare, so please don't analyse too closely, ha! This is just what I do from my phone on the go, so things aren't always perfect… One time I did almost upload with an overlay that meant I looked like I had three hands. Lol.
Enlight editing does sound quite confusing, but once you've had a play around on it you'll suss it out. They run live tutorials over on their Facebook page too which I'd really recommend… Some of them are completely abstract edits, but there are always tips you can take away with you.
A final thing that I've come to love recently is an app called UNUM. Have you ever tried it out?! Errrghmygahhhd it's a game changer for bloggers! It basically allows you to view what your post will look like alongside the images currently on your Instagram, so if you're loyal to an Instagram theme, download this ASAP! It helps me work out if one picture is way darker or the saturation is too high, and generally get an idea of how all my pictures look together.
Aaaand that's it. I know, there's plenty going on on the editing front, but I think it comes with the blogging territory! If there's anything out there that can make my DIY 'studio' a little more polished then I'm always up for it. I've used so many different editing platforms/cameras/lighting options over the years, but this is what I currently find works the best.

Next to winning, John J. McGraw liked feuding. During his 30 years as manager, his rough, tough, smart New York Giants won ten National League pennants and seldom finished out of the first-division money. Knockdown, drag-out feuds brightened most of those 30 years.

desire x is super faaast , good for gaming ,better camera resolution and bigger RAM
single core phone are good or dual core????
I'm confused between htc desire v and htc desire x???
plz suggest me...
Even though this phone comes with dual-core CPUs. They are based on the lower end Cortex A5 architecture. A5 lacks L2 Cache and its performance is about 60% of an A9.
So despite having dual-core, Desire X should performance about the same as the single-core One V. With a less powerful GPU, no wonder why it is priced lower than the One V.
Don't like how HTC is manufacturing its phones like Apple does. I.e. The casing is difficult to open thus making repaires more difficult.
The only difference between desire vt and this is the dual core processor, RAM size and may be slightly lesser in price compared to desire vt..
This suits for a budget minded buyer..
so this is a phone, with seemingly better spces than the one v and desire vc, and yet, how is it supposed to be priced below the one v?
Also, When is this releasing in Indian markets?
AnonD-36731, 30 Aug 2012No GSMArena are wrong as they clearly say they are referring to the specs (not the pricing).The following words are from AnandTech:
"Today HTC announced the Desire X, a device that resembles their higher end One S, but is targeted at budget minded consumers. According to The Verge, it has a 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Play inside. Unlike the Snapdragon S4 SoC we're familiar with, the 28 nanometer model with a pair of 1.5 GHz Krait cores and an Adreno 225 graphics processor, the S4 Play is a 45 nanometer SoC that uses a pair of ARM Cortex A5 cores and the Adreno 203. Performance wise, ARM says that a Cortex A5 can deliver 1.57 DMIPS/MHz. To put that into some perspective, the Cortex A8 delivers 2.0 DMIPS/MHz, and the Cortex A9 that's inside many of today's devices can pump out 2.50 DMIPS/MHz.
Qualcomm's Krait core can do 3.30 DMIPS/MHz, more than double the performance of ARM's Cortex A5."
so when GSM ARENA , techradar guys say its specs are not good enough.... believe them....n if its priced above one v then guess its over priced...
So, Dual Core, Bigger Screen, more recent and generally a better phone and its supposed to sit below a single core 3.7 inch phone?
jbitounis, 30 Aug 2012Well, judging from the similarities to Desire S, I think the release of this phone means there... morehey, ICS for desire S is already online at htc-dev site, or at xda. good luck :)
aaa, and the phone sounds good. if i had to replace my desire s, i go with this one :)
Guest, 30 Aug 2012Well actually Ace 2 and Sola have dual-core Cortex A9 CPU(NovaThor U8500) and they can handle(... moreI am even considering the price range. So I compared these.
naming, 30 Aug 2012it's sad name desire went from high end phone to budget phoneAnd I'd take THE HTC Desire over any of these wannabes any day.
Well, judging from the similarities to Desire S, I think the release of this phone means there won't be an ICS update any time soon for the S. This is really embarrassing for HTC and one of the main reasons I don't go for Android yet.
Andrei, 30 Aug 2012Why is this between the One V and Desire C? C is clearly inferior, but isn't One V as well, ha... moreYes the Desire X has superior specs to both the Desire C and One V.
Anonymous, 30 Aug 2012Its specs are well above Desire C and One VAnother sensible person.
AnonD-10068, 30 Aug 2012between One V and desire C ? how come ? desire X is far superior then the both it has a 4 inch... moreGood post. Yes you are right.

Corwin TELTSCHIK, Appellant v. WILLIAMS & JENSEN, PLLC, et al., Appellees.
For more than a decade, Corwin Teltschik served as treasurer of the Americans for a Republican Majority Political Action Committee. Near the end of Teltschik's tenure, the Federal Election Commission opened an investigation into alleged discrepancies in ARMPAC's financial reporting. The investigation concluded with a Conciliation Agreement between the Commission and ARMPAC. ARMPAC conceded that it had violated federal election laws and agreed to pay a civil penalty of $115,000 and terminate operations. Teltschik was named in the Agreement in his official capacity as treasurer of ARMPAC.
Teltschik then brought this diversity suit against Williams & Jensen, a law firm that represented ARMPAC, and three Williams & Jensen lawyers. Teltschik alleged that the defendants failed to keep him informed about the Commission's investigation of ARMPAC, signed documents on his behalf without his permission, and defamed him in the Agreement. As relevant here, Teltschik asserted claims for defamation and negligence and sought general reputation damages.
Over the course of several years and several stages of the litigation, the District Court dismissed or granted summary judgment to the defendants on each of Teltschik's claims. Two aspects of its decisions are relevant here. First, applying D.C. law, the District Court concluded that Teltschik's defamation claim based on the signing of the Conciliation Agreement was barred by the judicial privilege. See Teltschik v. Williams & Jensen, PLLC, 683 F.Supp.2d 33, 53–54 (D.D.C.2010). Second, the Court concluded that Teltschik's remaining negligence claim was barred under D.C. law because a "plaintiff should not be permitted to recover damages for the loss of his reputation in a negligence action, when the alleged damage to his reputation was caused by a defendant's published communication and that communication was the basis of a failed defamation claim." Teltschik v. Williams & Jensen, PLLC, No. 08–cv–089, 2012 WL 3960607, at *1 (D.D.C. Sept. 10, 2012) (internal quotation mark omitted).
Teltschik now appeals, primarily asserting that the District Court erred in its resolution of those two issues. We review de novo the District Court's determinations of D.C. law. See Salve Regina College v. Russell, 499 U.S. 225, 231 (1991). Applying that de novo standard, we disagree with each of Teltschik's arguments.
First, Teltschik argues that the judicial privilege does not bar his defamation claim against the defendants. Under the judicial privilege recognized by D.C. law, an attorney "is absolutely privileged to publish defamatory matter concerning another in communications preliminary to a proposed judicial proceeding, or in the institution of, or during the course and as a part of, a judicial proceeding in which he participates as counsel, if it has some relation to the proceeding." Finkelstein, Thompson & Loughran v. Hemispherx Biopharma, Inc., 774 A.2d 332, 338 (D.C.2001) (quoting Restatement (Second) of Torts § 586 (1977)), overruled in part on other grounds by McNair Builders, Inc. v. Taylor, 3 A.3d 1132 (D.C.2010). The privilege also applies in certain quasi-judicial proceedings. See Arneja v. Gildar, 541 A.2d 621, 623 (D.C.1988).
Teltschik's defamation claim is based on statements contained within the Conciliation Agreement reached between the Commission and ARMPAC, and therefore is encompassed within the judicial privilege. Teltschik contends that the judicial privilege nonetheless should not apply because the defendants were not adverse to Teltschik in the Commission proceeding. But under D.C. law, the judicial privilege is not limited to defamatory statements by an attorney about his or her adversary. Rather, the judicial privilege broadly covers statements by judges, court officers, jurors, and witnesses, so long as the speaker is involved in the proceeding and the allegedly defamatory statements are made in the course of or preliminary to the proceeding and bear some relation to the proceeding. See Oparaugo v. Watts, 884 A.2d 63, 79–81 (D.C.2005). Therefore, under D.C. law, the judicial privilege bars Teltschik's defamation claim.
Second, Teltschik argues that even if his defamation claim is barred by the judicial privilege, he is entitled to pursue a negligence action based on the allegedly defamatory communication. But no D.C. case holds that a plaintiff may maintain a negligence action for a defamatory statement when the defamation claim would be barred. And the general rule in state courts is that a negligence suit cannot proceed in those circumstances. See, e.g., Lawrence v. Grinde, 534 N.W.2d 414, 419–20 (Iowa 1995). In other words, plaintiffs complaining about a defamatory statement cannot end-run the requirements for a defamation claim by pleading it as a negligence claim. We agree with the District Court that we should not recognize such a novel claim under D.C. law.
We have considered all of Teltschik's arguments. We affirm the judgment of the District Court.
So ordered.
Opinion for the Court filed by Circuit Judge KAVANAUGH.

Literary queer weirdo, different, difficult music. Cartoonist, writer, musician, Beast Daughter. Love to rattle on about tracks, huge b-side fan, I have a Skinny Puppy tattoo. Once I was walking through the city and perked up like, what's that incredible beat? And it was someone using a circular saw on a corrugated roof.
How did you become involved in the station?
First started listening to the psychedelic show on Thursday nights circa 2010 when I worked late at a petrol station.
What is the best thing about being involved in the station?
Subjecting late night audiences to Einsturzende Neubauten. Oh, also the people.
What is the strangest thing that has happened to you at RTRFM?
Can't say it's happened yet.
If you could present a show other than your own, which would it be and why?
Did a Behind The Mirror once and loved it hard – fantastic show, but I need to come up with a crazier name before they take me seriously.
What do you do in real life?
