The main idea behind the strategy is, using differences between cross rates (such as EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and EUR/GBP) at different markets. Other times I use the 10 Minute Forex Wealth Builder system (same person that created the LMT Forex Formula) and also the 123 Bollinger Band. There also few companies who offer free forex EA (Expert Adviser) to help their customers in forex trading. They are automated trading platforms through which you can trade into the market without having in-depth knowledge on forex. Each indicator is a tool for the trader and a combination set of tools with rules is a trading system. The point is the more times the market tested the zone, the zone will be stronger and more valid.

Economic data and financial reports are traders' best friends. It is obligatory for traders to listen to all data that is routinely launched as a complement to the economic calendar. All of this data is a source of fundamental analysis that brings many changes. It's just that, traders sometimes miss listening to small news that actually brings big changes in trading.
Yes, market data is one of the main analyzes used in binary options trading activities to open up profit opportunities. Some types of data are considered to have a higher level of importance than others to determine the steps of analysis and trading strategies. However, often market news that becomes a headline does not fully illustrate asset price movements.
"Precisely small news that seems hidden often brings a big influence on asset price movements in the market. Especially, news at the local level has the power to change. The news that led investors to take action that influenced the direction of price movements, "
Precisely, don't just focus on big news that leads to interesting trading activities. Pay close attention to the news to the smallest and sharpest to sharpen the sensitivity related to trivial news that allows it to be the direction of price movements in the market.
Turn on the radar, don't get stuck on Mainstream
Whatever the conditions, it is important to read media reports related to assets on the platform of your choice. Through these various news you have information and make it an opportunity to gain profit or profit. But, again, don't be too fanatical about the big news.
Precisely, the news that is of a mainstream nature that has often become a big concern. Not a wrong step. However, it is better to sharpen the sensitivity to small, unpublished news that secretly saves the power of change. Take for example, the problem faced by coffee bean suppliers which has more or less contributed to the shares of large and prestigious companies such as Starbucks, for example.
There are still many other examples. To be sure, each asset class can be linked to a fundamental event that has an impact on value. In turn, it has a big influence on price movements in the market.
In addition to large company relationships with suppliers, other news that often brings influence such as competition between two similar companies. Take for example Apple and Microsoft. Both types of businesses often carry opposite marks on each other on the market. It is the job of the trader to always turn on the radar to the news that often goes unnoticed like this.
Small News That Moves Investors
Not always big news leads investors to take actions that affect trading activities. Investor sentiment is often triggered by events or small news that lack publicity. Things like this often escape the attention of traders. Especially traders who are fanatical about mainstream news.
"True, mainstream news such as changes in weather, the political situation of a country's economy, wars and political turmoil of a country, changes in policy, and many other big news have had an effect on price movements in trading binary options. However, traders must be sensitive to small news that has the potential to drive investor sentiment,
Read to Become Successful in Binary Options Trading
Yes, investor sentiment is not always driven by big events or news that become headlines in various media. Sometimes, small things trigger the fluctuations in asset prices on the market. The most important step to doing trading activities appropriately is combining the two.
The big news contained in media reports and various economic journals must be in the grip. However, the news released from the publication must also be in the other hand.
It will indeed be additional work. But if both of them can be disciplined applied profit will not hesitate to approach. Not only is the profit achieved in the short term, but also the long term.
Investor sentiment has an effect on buying and selling which has a direct impact on the direction of market price movements. Well, investor sentiment is a mystery.

A creative program at a children's museum gives participants a memorable lesson on bats . . .
By Alicia R. Browne
Every October for the past seven years, the Children's Hands-On Museum (CHOM) of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, has gone batty. During that month, hundreds of schoolchildren throughout the region visit CHOM for a special program called "Bat Sense," which gives them a hands-on understanding of what extraordinary creatures bats are.
The program's theme is introduced through a Native American legend, Tiny Bat and the Ball Game. In this southeastern tribal myth, all the creatures in the forest divide into teams to play a ball game that will determine whether the "Birds" or the "Down-to-Earth Animals" (those with four legs and teeth) are best. Although Tiny Bat wants to play, the Animals will not allow him on their team because he has wings instead of four legs. The Birds do not want him on their team because he doesn't have feathers or a beak. Both sides consider him too little and too different. Eventually, Tiny Bat is allowed to join the Animals' team, and his ability to fly and carry the ball high over the goalpost leads them to triumph over the Birds. The Birds then want to claim Tiny Bat for their team, and all the players realize that, although he is different, Tiny Bat is a very special animal.
To learn more about how bats are special, the children are then divided into three groups, which rotate among several activities. One lesson uses pictures, models, and a bat skeleton to introduce children to insect-eating microbats and fruit- and nectar-eating megabats, explaining the anatomical features that distinguish the two. As the children watch slides of various bats, they show off their newly acquired knowledge. "Big ears," they call. "He eats insects!" The next slide appears, and a child cries, "That one has little ears and big eyes. He eats fruit!" As they distinguish between microbats and megabats, the children discover the important role each plays in the environment, controlling insects or pollinating plants. Even the youngest visitors can decide for themselves that because they don't like mosquitoes, they do like any animal that helps get rid of those annoying pests!
In another activity, the children enjoy a bat salad of bananas, mangoes, cashews and dates–foods that exist in the wild because of the role bats play in pollination and seed dispersal. The snack leads to a discussion of bat habitat, beginning with tropical rain forests and leading into a talk about local bat habitat and bat houses.
After learning about the rain forest, the children create their own tiny Honduran tent bat (Ectophylla alba) to take home. With unprocessed cotton bolls for bodies, peppercorns for eyes, and pieces of the cotton boll seed pod for ears and nose, the little bats are easily assembled and placed to roost in tents made from real leaves, just as these bats do in the rain forest. (Teacher evaluations consistently show that this is participants' favorite activity.)
Finally, discussion turns from bat homes to bat families, as the children learn how mother bats identify their young. The students are divided into pairs of "baby bat" and "mama bat." Each pair is assigned a unique sound to make and given two bottles containing a specific scent. The mama bats, blindfolded and wearing large posterboard wings, are then separated from their babies, who wear posterboard hats topped with small wings. Each mother bat locates her baby through the young bat's unique sound and scent.
The impact of this program on participating children is immediately apparent. Before leaving the museum, the children hang paper bats (upside down, of course) in a cave in CHOM's Indian Village. On the paper bats, each child has written one fact he or she learned about bats, from habitat to diet to anatomy. Some children, overwhelmed by all they have learned, write simply, "I love bats." The Halloween shirts and sweaters the children wear at that time of year, covered with witches, ghosts, and bats, have new meaning by the time each class leaves.
Perhaps more surprising is the effect "Bat Sense" has on parents, teachers, and museum staff. Parents often ask us where they can purchase a bat house or get the plans to build one. Teachers leave with plans to create a bat habitat in their classrooms and fill it with their own paper bats. Several CHOM staff members have adopted bats through BCI. Even confirmed bat haters leave the museum touched by these gentle creatures. Factual information about bats has often proven hard to come by, so BCI and its catalogue of educational materials have been invaluable. Slides, puppets, books, videotapes, and other materials have given staff members the knowledge and resources to offer this unique program, which has introduced thousands of children, their parents, and teachers, to the importance of bats.
BCI member Alicia R. Browne is the Coordinator of Visitor Services at the Children's Hands-On Museum. She would like to acknowledge Jane Ingram, Director of Exhibits and Programs, who created "Bat Sense."Tiny Bat and the Ball Game: An Indian Legend was written by Margaret Zehmer Searcy and published by Tuscaloosa and Tulsa: Portals Press, 1978.
The bat-salad activity and mother-and-baby-identification game can be found in BCI's Educator's Activity Book About Bats, available from the BCI catalogue at 1-800-538-2287 (in the U.S. and Canada) or 512-327-9721.

Wearing bat masks and necklaces, these second- and third-graders prepare to hang paper bats in the museum cave. Each bat cut-out bears one fact the child learned during the "Bat Sense" program.

Excerpt of Kieron Dyer's autobiography in the Echo (spelling mistakes are the Echo's):
Legend, really?
An argument that pops up with regularity.I think, as a club, the periods between winning nothing and being good are long enough that any player that wins something needs to be considered a legend.Ferguson got an FA cup medal with us.Conversley, the periods of success have come frequently enough that any player that doesn't actually win anything shouldn't be considered a legend.In the great park i would build outside a stadium i would build for us there would be a forest of statues.the statues would be of our greatest players.The entry requirement would be to have won something. So Duncan and Gary Ablett are getting statues and, i'm afraid, Cahill and Arteta are not.Vote 'Mick 1995'
Don't me wrong here, I loved Dunc, he was unplayable sometimes and the passion he has for the club and us fans is something special, but a legend he is not
If not him then who? Have we even had one (a legand) in the last 30 years in your opinion? I don't think anyone would dispute Southall, and he finished playing for us around '97 - any since then?[Genuine question BTW]
You don't have to win a cup to be a legend IMO.
I'd say that was bare minimum for a club with out success to be honest.Not the only criteria, but the minimum bar to pass.
What about Bob Latchford?

- Other Hafco P-200H 8-inch Planer Jointer
- Brand: Other | Category: Jointers
This is a review that I wrote for my personal website
If you would like to see the original review visit the following URL http://jordswoodshop.com/2011/11/review-hafco-p200-h-planerjointer-edit/
Lets Get Into The Review
Iv owned the Hafco p200-h for over a month now and over all im very pleased with the machine.
After dreaming about owning my very own jointer for over a year I finally bit the bullet and bought this 8? 2hp unit.
I had a few options when it came to jointers, and the decision was to be between the Hafco, Carbatec and Sherwood units, and in this case the hafco won the battle, value for money was great at $990 it was the cheapest 8? jointer I could find locally, although price played a big roll in my decision it certainly wasnt the only contributing factor to my choice.
So lets talk briefly about what other fact made me choose this unit. Firstly, Cutter head this unit has a 4 blade cutter head opposed to the 3 blade cutter head wich the other units sported, this helps in obtaining a smoother finish right off the jointer, wich means less finishing, And of-course the motor played a big part in my decision too, at 2hp it matched the sherwood and beat the carbatec model wich was sporting a 1 1/2 hp motor, I dont know much about the technologies in side these motors, and I certainly dont know how much of a difference a induction motor would make over a regular motor but in my mind 2 is better than 1.
Setting up the unit only took me about 30 minutes, entire thing comes almost complete, the base was already housing the motor and all electrics where already wired in, All I had to do was secure the rubber feet and attach the dust shoot. The jointer it's self came pre-assembled too, all that needed to be done was attach the fence, secure it to the base and attach the drive belts to the motor.
Of course the unit did need fine tuning, but from factory I found I only had to make minimal adjustments, and this took less than an hour.
After about 5 weeks of solid use the jointer is only just starting to show signs of dull knives, but up until this point the cuts have been smooth and in some cases I wouldn't have even felt the need to sand before finishing, although I cant think of an occasion when I would go straight from the jointer to finishing, its still nice to know.
The Fence is also nice and solid, I did however find that from the factory it was quite easy to knock it out of square if you applied too much pressure to the fence, But a solid spring washer on the adjustment pin fixed this!
So whats the down side?
For the price of this unit I did expect to find some things "inferior" to the more expensive models, but I can safely say I am stoked with this unit, but thats not to say there isn't any complaints because there is one, Just one.
When it is time to replace the blades in the cutter head you will find that you'll need to purchase two sets at most places, At-least the places I shop that is, why? Well most places will sell knives as a set of three, and this unit has a four blade cutter head, but if thats all I have to complain about im happy!
So if your considering this unit but your a little put off by the cheaper price, I would say go for it! but if you have the money to spend I would probably suggest looking into getting a unit that has spiral cutter head as the performance you will see with this style of cutter is unbelievably good! smooth, quiet and reliable.

Planer, jointer, buzzer it's all the same thing somewhere in the world… On my backwards side (Australia) it's more commonly known as a jointer.
Another way of looking at it is what happens if you hit a nail? Those blades are essentially useless and if your in the middle of a project you dont want to be making the trip to the tool shop (in my case an hour's drive) to buy a new set of knives, which in my experience will often need sharpening to get the best results.

I have never heard a Jointer called a Buzzer!
One word of caution, make sure your boards are clean before you run them through there. Edges that have been sitting outside or in the dirt can take out you blades in one pass if there is grit or mineral deposits on them. Clean the edge good or cut it with a carbide blade first and then straighten it.
Enjoy it!..................Jim

18 of the Best Music Tumblelogs
Tumblr has long been a site that promotes outside-of-the-box blogging with inside-of-the-box restrictions. Originally just a short-form way to tumble across the web and quickly post photos, videos, audio, text, and quotes, Tumblrs everywhere now appear in all shapes and sizes. One very popular niche approach is to focus tumblelogs around celebrating the art form that is music.
The tumblelogs featured here are using the eclectic medium to creatively express and share their passion for music. From sites dedicated to educating you about the history of sampled tracks to quirky video-centric music hubs, and even oversharing music-making lifecasters, we've found 18 of the best tumblelogs to put you in a groovy music mindset.
Have a favorite music tumblelog to add? Tell us about it in the comments.

Sample Track: Labi Striffe's I Got The. Never heard of it, right? I bet you know its older sampling cousin, My Name Is from Eminem.

so do you actually use internal gateways. or are you just adding them for internal host detection
you do not need it for internal host detection. remove it.
The problem is that
In GP application there is an option which says that when the user takes the corporate notebook and go home to connect to home Wi fi and to work he must connect the to GP portal first otherwise you can not get access to anything even Internet from home
When that user comes back to office and connect his Notebook to corporate LAN he get the local network ip address but at the same time tries to connect to GP portal (because of user logon).So it can not connect to outside IP and that is why the user can not get access to anywhere even though it got the local ip address from DHCP
So there must be some mechanism when user connect his laptop to internal lan in the office it must recognize the local network and must connect to other gateway.i guess that must be internal gateway
Why cant your users connect to the portal (outside ip) when they are connected to the internal lan. Are you blockng it.
Please do verify if you have any routing issues/firewall block with in internal network for connecting to your portal public IP. Access to GP portal will work irrespective of client location (either internal network or from internet) until it is reachable.
No, the internal host detection should be something that is on your internal network an resolvable by DNS.
so if you have a domain controller called ad.mynet.com and its address is 10.10.10.1 then put it in the internal host detection settings.
it does not have to be a server, anything that exists on your lan will suffice.
but you need to confirm you can srill see external portal address from lan.
can you browse to it from your lan.
Mike i guess we must configure split DNS in order to connect to the same FQDN whether we are inside the LAN or outside
It is not best practice to connect to your outside ip through your gateway device.
In GP there is internal Gateway.I guess the internal gateway is the method by which you can connect to portal through your internal gateway
When you use internal host detection you do not need to connect to a gateway.
you only connect to the portal to get your portal config..
when you get your portal configuration from your external address the GP clien does a quick test on the settings you have for internal host detection.
if it detects the internal host Then GP client stops trying to connect and you get a little house in your GP icon.
so to confirm.... you do not need internal gateways for internal host detection.
you do not need split DNS. What happens when you browse to your external portal address from your lan.

GULF OF MEXICO (WAFB) - The US Coast Guard said it is investigating another oil sheen in the Gulf of Mexico.
This is the second sheen to appear near the site of BP's Deepwater Horizon disaster.
It is in the same area where an abandoned piece of equipment was blamed for leaving a sheen of oil weeks ago.
The Coast Guard said it will inspect the oil rig's wreckage with robots to find the source.

|Investigations of Alternative Steam Generator Location and Flatter Core Geometry for Lead-cooled Fast Reactors
|CARLSSON JOHAN; TUCEK Kamil; WIDER HARTMUT
|Proceedings of ICONE 14 - The 14th International Conference on Nuclear Engineering - July 17-20, 2006, Miami (USA) p. Paper 89316
|American Society Of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
|Publication Year:
|Articles in periodicals and books
|This paper concerns two independent safety investigations on critical and sub-critical heavy liquid metal cooled fast reactors using simple flow paths. The first investigation applies to locating the steam generators in the risers instead of the down-comers of a simple flow path designed sub-critical reactor of 600 MWth power. This was compared to a similar design, but with the steam generators located in the downcomers. The transients investigated were Total-Loss-of-Power and unprotected Loss-Of-Flow. It is shown that this reactor peaks at 1041 K after 29 hours during a Total-Loss-Of-Power accident. The difference between locating the steam generators in the risers and the downcomers is insignificant for this accident type. During an unprotected Loss-Of-Flow accident at full power the core outlet temperature stabilizes at 1010 K, which is 337 K above nominal outlet temperature. The second investigation concerns a 1426 MWth critical reactor where the influence of the core height versus the core outlet temperature is studied during an unprotected Loss-Of-Flow and Total-Loss-Of-Power accident. A pancake type core geometry of 1.0 m height and 5.8 m diameter, is compared to a compact core of 2 m height and 4.5 m diameter. Moderators, like BeO and hydrides, and their influence on safety coefficients and burnup swings are also presented. Both cores incinerate transuranics from spent LWR fuel with minor actinde fraction of 5%. We show that LFR can be designed both to breed and burn transuranics from LWRs. It is shown that the hydrides lead to the most favorable reactivity feedbacks, but the poorest reactivity swing. The computational fluid dynamics code STAR-CD was used for all thermal hydralic calculations, and the MCNP and MCB for neutronics, and burn-up calculations.

Exploring hidden art on campus
By Marissa Perino / Staff Writer
October 13, 2017
Because of displaced, absent or otherwise out-of-sight placards, many works of art often go unattributed or unnoticed on campus. There could be art installations hanging from a ceiling or beautiful oil paintings of the Cathedral in plain sight, and students and faculty often walk right by them. Art...

Independence Day 2020— How Free Are You?
Today is Independence Day! On this day in 1776 our leaders signed the Declaration of Independence which proclaimed that we were created equal and have rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
We fought a war and we won. We were free from Great Britain's rule. Free. We have freedom.
So just how free are you?
I'm not talking about politics here or the state of the country. I'm asking about your own personal freedom. How free are you? Are you truly free on Independence Day?
Are you subservient to prejudices and stereotypes? Do you reject other people because of the color of their skin or their national origins, their age, sexual orientation, religion or their education? Prejudice means, as you know, that you pre-judge. You make up your mind without knowing the facts and make statements like "All _____________ are dumb" or "All _____________ are dishonest." "All _____________ should be run out of the country." You fill in the blanks. If you are shackled by prejudice, you are not free but bound by preconceived ideas without any input from you.
If you make your decisions based on prejudice and stereotypical thinking, you are not truly free.
Are you free from what you were told you had to believe when you were a child? On Independence Day, consider if you have made decisions for yourself about what you believe about the important things in life like:
- God/Religious/spiritual beliefs
- Politics
- Freedom
- Education
- Who you are and what you're here for
- Sexuality
- Gender Roles
- You get the idea. Do you spout out the same words your mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother taught you or have you thought things through for your self and made a conscious, rational decision about each area? If you accepted those teachings, fantastic. If you have come to different conclusions, fantastic. At least you know what you stand for.
If you have gone forward like a sheep without making decisions for yourself and what you believe, you are not free—you are a slave to someone else's beliefs.Take time to figure out what you believe that you weren't told you HAD to believe.
Are you a captive?
On this Independence Day, Are you free from emotional entanglements that keep you from realizing your full potential? Or are you a captive of
- fear
- hatred
- anxiety
- low self-esteem
- depression
- shame
- loneliness
- grief
- victimhood
If you are not addressing your emotional entanglement head-on, then you are the slave to your own emotions and are not free.
How about your relationships?
What about your relationships? Are you in a relationship that keeps you from being who you truly are, that keeps you beaten down or controlled by another? Do you have your own dreams, goals, likes, and dislikes or did you give them up for the relationship?
Take a look at your life. Is this truly an independence day for you? Are you feeling like a captive in your relationships?
What about your job? Are you free to be creative, successful, and feel good about yourself? This may not be a good time to think about switching jobs, but is this what you want to do for the rest of your life? Are you held back by your own thinking?
What about your Pursuit of Happiness? Did your dreams and aspirations get lost or squelched along the way? Can you get them out and dust them off and begin again?
We could go on and on with questions that only you can answer. And you can create your own questions and answers about how free you truly are. Spend some time in meditation and contemplation on this.
What about the COVID-19 Pandemic?
We have been told we have to wear a mask and practice social distancing. Our loved ones may be dying and we are not allowed to be with them. What happens to your freedom now? It is YOUR choice to wear a mask or not. But think carefully before you make your decision. There is little defense against this virus. The mask may protect you or it may protect someone from you if you are infected but show no symptoms.
It may not be much, but it is what we have right now. You are free to wash your hands or risk contamination yourself or others. But you get to make the choice. You are free to go about your merry way to join protests or riots. It is your choice. You are free to take care of yourself and others or risk your own death or theirs.
Take some time to think about these things today and make a decision to declare it your own personal Independence Day!
Happy Independence Day!

text: Philippine president has stepped up security and is cracking down on dissenters The statement followed a news report that President Gloria Arroyo confronted a broadcast journalist about an interview she did with Gregorio Honasan, now accused of being the mastermind of the uprising on 27 July, AFP reported. Press Secretary Milton Alingod denied reports on Sunday that Arroyo accused the journalist of aiding conspirators and saying that intelligence sources had seen her meeting Honasan. "The president explained that the government does not intend to muzzle the media," Alingod said on Radio Mindanao. "There's nothing to be afraid of." Mutiny Security was stepped up in and around the Filipino capital after some 300 mutineers seized a section of the Makati financial district at dawn three weeks ago. The mutineers called for Arroyo's resignation, saying the president and the army were corrupt. The rebels surrendered less than 24 hours later when they failed to garner any support. Arroyo has alleged the mutiny was part of a larger plot to depose her and install a 15-member junta to rule the country. Coup central Investigators, who recovered equipment worth as much as half a million dollars, have pointed to the fact that junior army officers could not have raised enough money to buy the hardwear unless they received external support. The Philippines suffered a rash of right-wing military coup attempts in the late 1980s that damaged the economy, leaving it lagging its rapidly developing neighbours. Government prosecutors have been told to prepare rebellion charges against Honasan in connection with the mutiny, AFP reported. SOURCE: AFP

Peace and War in the 20th Century Welcome The twentieth century has been a century of war. It began with the Boer War in South Africa and ended with the Gulf War in Kuwait and Iraq. This tragic legacy suggests that citizens of the twenty-first century have a shared responsibility to attempt to understand how and why these conflicts occurred and to discover how peace efforts contributed to the resolution of international conflicts. The work of understanding, conscientiously conducted, must draw on primary sources of many kinds, including oral histories, newspapers, contemporary journals, government documents, regimental histories, and archives. Archival resources provide us with a direct link to the past.
The Toronto Public Library (TPL) has long been committed to an active exhibition program for its Local History and Special Collections in the Canada Trust Gallery at the Toronto Reference Library and other Library venues. The virtual version of All Aboard Toronto ? Railways and the Growth of a City , fully re-creates the exhibition on display in our Gallery from August 4 ? October 7, 2001. The exhibition explores Toronto railway history and its impact on the development of the city from the 1850s to the end of the steam era in the mid 20th century. It is illustrated with over a hundred collection items including paintings, drawings, maps, postcards, broadsides and other ephemera.
Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen, address to the Senate, September 10, 1939. In September 1939, Canadians prepared for another war with memories of the Great War still fresh in their minds. It was determined that Canada's war effort would be concentrated in financial and industrial support, and the first priority would be to secure the nation's borders. By the spring of 1940, the progress of the war in Europe had changed dramatically. With the German invasion of Denmark, Norway, Belgium and Holland, and the fall of France, Canadians reassessed their own vulnerability. The spectre of a German victory became real.
Whether they are in the circus or the zoo, in the field, the stream or the air, on a dinner plate or an altar, animals have fascinated humanity from its earliest origins. Selected from Toronto Public Library's rare books, original art and postcard collections, this survey features prints from Audubon's Quadrupeds , images of wild and domestic animals as well as animals at play. Yes, animals are allowed in the library-roaming through thousands of pages, over hundreds of years.

Anxiety can manifest itself in many ways. Worry, nervousness, and feeling uneasy about something with an uncertain outcome.
Anxiety is often triggered when a series of stressful events accumulate and become overwhelming. When this level of anxiety increases and causes distress and fear, it can interfere at work, school or in your social life.
We might feel unable to cope with day to day life, or it might be that we have anxiety about one issue.
I can teach you how to reframe your anxiety so you can feel in control, calm and relaxed. I can help you to recognise your anxiety, whether it be a phobia, social anxiety, general anxiety (GAD), a panic disorder, or an obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).
Most clients experience feelings of anxiety without having an anxiety disorder and it is becoming a common feature of modern life. The emotional and physical symptoms are endless and because of the flight or flight response there is a wide range of physical and emotional symptoms.
- Dizziness
- Dry mouth
- Headaches
- Fatigue
- Excessive sweating
- Nausea
- Poor concentration
- Shortness of breath
- Shaking or trembling
- Fast or irregular heartbeat
- Irrational fear and worry
- Sense of dread
- Irritability
- Distracted
- Avoiding specific situations
- Feeling on edge
- Nervous
Each client will present with a unique set of causes and influences and will benefit from a bespoke approach rather than a one size fits all method.
If you are not sure how to describe your symptoms or feel unsure of how to make positive changes, call or email me for a free, no obligation chat.

Many have defined the problem
— people are abandoning old media for new in droves — but nobody has
come remotely close to figuring out the formula to monetize this
audience in a way that ensures the range and level of news and
periodical content and offers the rich experience advertisers will pay
a premium to be part of.
Pulling it off would take characteristic Apple hardware/software
flair — and a bit of uncharacteristic magnanimity. But the "X" factor
is Jobs himself. Whatever you believe about his health, Jobs will not
live forever. We're guessing that he, like all high achievers, believes
that yesterday's accomplishments, however fantastic, are also
yesterday's news. If he is looking for One Last Thing, saving
journalism would be the Holy Grail. –Wired

UZBEKISTAN: More severe jail sentences for Muslim prisoners of conscience
Uzbekistan has today (29 April) imposed severe jail sentences on nine followers of the Turkish Muslim theologian Said Nursi, Forum 18 News Service has learnt. In the fourth such trial this year, university lecturer Ikrom Merajov was given nine years' imprisonment. Of the other eight prisoners of conscience, Muzaffar Allayorov, Botir Tukhtamurodov, Shuhrat Karimov, Salohiddin Kosimov and Yadgar Juraev were each given six year jail terms. Three - Bobomurod Sanoev, Jamshid Ramazonov and Alisher Jumaev - each received sentences of five and a half years in jail. "The Uzbek government shouldn't fear Muslims who pray regularly, read the Koran regularly and meet in homes regularly," Merajov's brother Ilhom Merajov told Forum 18. Officials have refused to discuss the harsh sentences with Forum 18. The sentences imposed today bring to 25 the number of Nursi-related prisoners of conscience known to have been convicted this year, with sentences totalling nearly 200 years' imprisonment. Further convictions are likely as cases against others continue.In the fourth set of convictions in Uzbekistan so far this year of followers of the Turkish Muslim theologian Said Nursi, Bukhara [Bukhoro] Regional Criminal Court today (29 April) handed down heavy terms of imprisonment on nine local Muslims, Forum 18 News Service has learnt. University lecturer Ikrom Merajov received the heaviest term, nine years' imprisonment, while the rest received sentences of between five and a half and six years' imprisonment. Families of the nine rejected the state's accusations the men were involved in any "illegal" activity. "The Uzbek government shouldn't fear Muslims who pray regularly, read the Koran regularly and meet in homes regularly," Merajov's brother Ilhom Merajov told Forum 18 on 29 April. Officials have refused to discuss the harsh sentences with Forum 18.
Ilhom Merajov told Forum 18 that of the other defendants, Muzaffar Allayorov, Botir Tukhtamurodov, Shuhrat Karimov, Salohiddin Kosimov and Yadgar Juraev were each given six year terms of imprisonment. The other three, Bobomurod Sanoev, Jamshid Ramazonov and Alisher Jumaev, received sentences of five and a half years' imprisonment each. The prosecutor had demanded an 11-year sentence on Ikrom Merajov and eight year sentences for the other eight.
Ilhom Merajov told Forum 18 that the nine men were told the written verdicts would be issued on 2 May. He said all nine are set to lodge appeals against their convictions.
The sentences handed down in Bukhara bring to 25 the number of people known to have been convicted this year in Uzbekistan in Nursi-related prosecutions, with sentences totalling nearly 200 years' imprisonment. Further convictions are likely as cases against others continue.
Non-Nursi related religious prisoners of conscience
Among other religious prisoners of conscience still serving sentences are Pentecostal Pastor from Andijan in eastern Uzbekistan, Dmitry Shestakov, who is serving a four year sentence, and four Jehovah's Witnesses: Abdubannob Ahmedov, Sergei Ivanov, Irfon Khamidov and Olim Turaev (see F18News 6 April 2009 http://www.forum18.org/Archive.php?article_id=1280).
Widespread official attacks on freedom of religion or belief
The campaign against Nursi followers since late 2008 has coincided with increased threats to children who attend places of worship, whether mosques, churches or temples. Also threatened have been parents who take their children to worship or who allow them to attend. Protestant Christian and Hare Krishna meetings have been raided in recent months. Protestants particularly face a wave of police and National Security Service (NSS) secret police raids, with heavy fines, detentions of up to 15 days, confiscations and court-ordered destruction of religious literature and, in one recent case, a Kazakh citizen legally resident in Uzbekistan was summarily deported to Kazakhstan with no explanation (see F18News 24 April 2009 http://www.forum18.org/Archive.php?article_id=1286).
Procedural violations at Bukhara trial?
Eight of the nine defendants were arrested in a police and NSS secret police raid on the Merajov family home in Bukhara on 22 December 2008. All eight were detained, though one, Jumaev, was freed in early January after 15 days' detention (apparently because he was younger) and awaited trial at home. Also detained during the raid was Abdurahmon Musaev, but he was freed after 15 days' detention and no charges were lodged against him.
Arrested a few days after the 22 December raid was Juraev: he was among the eight defendants held in pre-trial detention for four months and has now been give a six year jail sentence.
The trial of the nine began at Bukhara Regional Criminal Court on 22 April under Judge Tursunbai Tangriyev. The nine faced accusations that they were allegedly involved in a "radical Turkish Muslim Nursi movement". Merajov was accused of violating Uzbekistan's Criminal Code Article 244-1 Part 3 Point A, which punishes "preparation or distribution of materials containing a threat to social security and social order" by a group or with foreign support, and Article 244-2 Part 1, which punishes "creation, leadership or participation in religious extremist, separatist or fundamentalist or other banned organisations". The other defendants faced similar charges (see F18News 24 April 2009 http://www.forum18.org/Archive.php?article_id=1286).
Ilhom Merajov, the defendant's brother, told Forum 18 from Novosibirsk in Russia that the trial was open and the relatives of the accused were allowed to attend. However, he complained that defence requests for prosecution witnesses to be named and to attend court for questioning were rejected. "Their alleged testimony was simply read to the court anonymously and no possibility was given to challenge it," Ilhom Merajov told Forum 18.
Ilhom Merajov also complained that the defendants were never given the written indictments. "They were simply read out in the courtroom. This is a violation of procedure."
The man who answered Judge Tangriyev's telephone on 29 April told Forum 18 the judge was not there, adding that he was "just a citizen who happens to be in his office". Subsequent calls went unanswered.
The assistant to Bukhara Regional Prosecutor Ibadullo Nurov, who did not give his name, said he could not answer why Merajov and the other eight were so harshly punished by the court. "If you want to talk, come to our office," he told Forum 18 on 29 April.
Kayum Kholov, the official responsible for religious literature issues at the Regional Justice Department, refused to tell Forum 18 on 29 April whether Said Nursi's books are prohibited in Uzbekistan or why Merajov and his associates were punished by the court for reading and studying them together. As soon as Forum 18 finished the question he hung up. Several later calls went unanswered.
Other Nursi-related Muslim prisoners of conscience
The Bukhara trial and convictions were the latest in a wave of similar cases which began with arrests of Nursi followers across Uzbekistan in 2008.
A 16 February television programme broadcast on Uzbekistan's First Channel entitled "Light leading to darkness" said Tashkent City Criminal Court recently found eight "former members of the Nurcular sect" guilty of "preparing and distributing materials that pose threat to public security and order; setting up, leading and being involved in religious extremist, separatist, fundamentalist and other banned organisations". The eight - Eldor Shermatov, Anvar Sharipov, Jamshid Rasulov, Oktam Bekiev, Olimjon Musaev, Muzaffar Karimov, Sharofiddin Gofurov and Baht Abdugafforov – were given sentences of between six and a half and eight years' imprisonment (see F18News 10 March 2009 http://www.forum18.org/Archive.php?article_id=1265).
The state-controlled mass media is often used to encourage intolerance of religious groups the government dislikes, and opposition to freedom of religion or belief (see F18News 12 January 2009 http://www.forum18.org/Archive.php?article_id=1239).
On 26 February, Judge Farhod Yigitaliev of Tashkent Criminal Court imposed harsh prison sentences in the trial of five writers for the Islamic-inspired periodical "Irmoq" (Spring). Bakhrom Ibrahimov and Davron Kabilov received 12 year sentences in general regime labour camps; Rovshanbek Vafoyev received a ten year general regime labour camp sentence; and Abdulaziz Dadakhonov and Botyrbek Eshkuziyev each received eight year general regime labour camp sentences. All five were found guilty of violating Article 244-1 and Article 244-2 of the Criminal Code. Their appeals were rejected on 31 March (see F18News 24 April 2009 http://www.forum18.org/Archive.php?article_id=1286).
On 6 April, Tashkent City Criminal Court led by Judge Mirzajanov (first name unknown) handed down eight-year prison sentences to Davron Tajiev, a correspondent of the newspaper "Yetti Iqlim" (Seven Climates), and Shavkat Ismoilov, an employee responsible for the paper's distribution. Sentenced to twelve years in prison in the same court hearing was Mammadali Shahobiddinov, a Muslim preacher from Namangan in the Fergana Valley in eastern Uzbekistan. All three were arrested on "suspicion of being sponsored by a Turkish radical religious movement Nursi" (see F18News 24 April 2009 http://www.forum18.org/Archive.php?article_id=1286).
Other Nursi-related prosecutions underway
Tashkent City Court also began the trial of four more Muslims – Ibrohim Khudoybergenov, Talat Pulatov, Jahongir Kurbonov and another unknown man – all of whom are suspected of having ties with the Nursi movement, Ezgulik told Forum 18 (see F18News 24 April 2009 http://www.forum18.org/Archive.php?article_id=1286).
Sources in Tashkent told Forum 18 on 29 April that the trial of the four men is continuing.
Ilhom Merajov told Forum 18 that cases are also underway against Nursi followers in Andijan. He expects trials to follow there soon. (END)

When we talk about weight gain and losing weight, we are always suggested to eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables so as to lose the weight. But one fruit that is often deleted from this list is a banana. It is supposed to be very high in carbohydrates and thus you will often see people excluding this one from their diet when trying to lose weight.
Those who exclude this one from their diet are definitely not completely aware of the health benefits of the same. One medium banana contains just about 105 calories, 3 grams of satiating fibre, 27 grams of carbs and 14 grams of sugar. Along with that bananas also contain a whole bunch of nutrients which are very helpful in achieving a flat belly. If eaten in moderation bananas can help in losing weight effectively.

Like many others, I have been asked what I did on my Submarine. This is the best response that I have ever seen and thought it was worth sharing.
On my submarine, we did some of the stuff we did. We didn't do the other stuff we did because if we did do it, it was a secret. So we didn't do it. Even though we did, but not really.
The medals my shipmates and I didn't earn for doing what we didn't do, we did receive, except we didn't, because we never went where we were and weren't there when we were, but we did the stuff we didn't do while we weren't there not doing it.
As far as what boat I was on, we didn't go where we went and didn't do what we did while not doing it.
So, the bottom line, we weren't on a boat that I won't mention, not doing what we did, where we weren't…
I hope this clarifies things.

FACT CHECK: Are rich taxed less than secretaries?
@ The Associated Press
There may be individual millionaires who pay taxes at rates lower than middle-income workers. In 2009, 1,470 households filed tax returns with incomes above $1 million yet paid no federal income tax, according to the Internal Revenue Service. But that's less than 1 percent of the nearly 237,000 returns with incomes above $1 million.
This year, households making more than $1 million will pay an average of 29.1 percent of their income in federal taxes, including income taxes, payroll taxes and other taxes, according to the Tax Policy Center, a Washington think tank.
Households making between $50,000 and $75,000 will pay an average of 15 percent of their income in federal taxes.
Lower-income households will pay less. For example, households making between $40,000 and $50,000 will pay an average of 12.5 percent of their income in federal taxes. Households making between $20,000 and $30,000 will pay 5.7 percent.
The latest IRS figures are a few years older — and limited to federal income taxes — but show much the same thing. In 2009, taxpayers who made $1 million or more paid on average 24.4 percent of their income in federal income taxes, according to the IRS.
Those making $100,000 to $125,000 paid on average 9.9 percent in federal income taxes. Those making $50,000 to $60,000 paid an average of 6.3 percent.
And yet Obama wants to base his tax policy on his best buddy's anecdote. Boy, I really hope we can vote this guy out of office next year.

Inspiration and Staying Positive
I have been collecting inspirational quotes and have put them on the wall in my office (and on FB) so I can look at them regularly and share with others. We are bombarded with negativity and I know I need frequent doses of positivity. I thought I would share some of my favorites. Where possible I have credited the source. In some cases, I simply wrote them down on slips of paper, taped them to my wall and have no idea where they came from.
"The only way to be great is to love what you do." Steve Jobs
"Expressing your true self is not an option; it's a must. Be original." Unknown
"Success is doing what you want, when you want, where you want, with whom you want, as much as you want." Unknown
"Don't squander the gold of your days, listening to the tedious, trying to improve the hopeless failure, or giving your life away to the ignorant, the common, and the vulgar. These are sickly aims, the false ideals, of our age. Live! Live the wonderful life that is in you! Let nothing be lost upon you. Be always searching for new sensations. Be afraid of nothing." Oscar Wilde, Picture of Dorian Gray
"Challenges are what make like interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful." Joshua J. Marine
"Life is like a camera. Just focus on what's important. Capture the good times. Develop from the negatives. And if things don't work out…just take another shot." Unknown
"Be strong when you are weak. Be brave when you are scared. Be humble when you are victorious. Be badass every day." Unknown
"Risk more than is required. Learn more than is normal. Be strong. Show courage. Breathe. Excel. Love. Lead. Speak your truth. Live your values. Laugh. Cry. Innovate. Simplify. Adore mastery. Release mediocrity. Aim for genius. Stay humble. Be kinder than expected. Deliver more than is needed. Exude passion. Shatter your limits. Transcend your fears. Inspire others by your bigness. Don't stop. Change the world." Unknown
"Welcome chance encounters and opportunities to dream up outlandish plans." Richard Branson
"We can let the circumstances of our lives harden us so that we become increasingly resentful and afraid, or we can let them soften us, and make us kinder. You always have the choice." Dalai Lama
Every day we have the opportunity to choose how we are going to be in the world. I use these types of quotes to inspire me to be a positive influence in the world and in my own life. How do you stay positive and focused?


text: Meyerflyer 154 Posted October 16, 2018 Hello, after updating to latest experimental update I just noticed that the thrust for takeoff was lower than the climb thrust. So I took off with the A319 IAE with a flex temp of 74 and about 58t, so quite light. The thrust was felt and audible very low, the take off run was waaay longer than expected and before the update. Climb performance was absolutely bad. When I retarded the thrust levers to CL/CLB the engines spooled up instead of down and the climb performance improved. Is this as expected? Since now, I only knew that the climb thrust of an engine of the 777 could be higher than flex. I think there is something wrong in the new update. What's going on here?
