About Ken
Ken started trading options when the first exchanges opened in 1973. As the nation's foremost professional options trader Ken is not just an "options educator." He also actively trades his own account. Ken has been a computer science professor at Golden West College in Huntington Beach, California, where he also taught a popular course on stock options trading.
Ken is also widely quoted in publications such as Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities and Barron's. He has an MBA and has worked as a stock broker and an investment manager. Ken's options success secret is startlingly simple. It's a strategy basic to all investing. Ken only recommends cheap, underpriced options. In other words he "buys low and sells high." It's a simple theory, but hard to put to work unless you have a math genius and computer whiz like Ken Trester on your side. The trick is knowing how to find and buy underpriced options. Ken does this by using his computerized modeling system (based on three decades of real-time, real-life trading) that tells you and Ken which options are underpriced.
About Power Options Weekly
With the potential for over 255 million different stock options to be traded daily, traders face the daunting task of trying to pick the right ones, especially when you factor in risky weekly options and expensive quarterly options. In Power Options Weekly, Ken blends his 40-plus years of options trading experience and background as an educator in computer science to help you profit. He has his tried and tested stock scans do all of the heavy lifting to uncover regular monthly options that are poised to move and make you money.
Years of computer simulation and trial and error went into creating his system, which scours the market and determines which options are hugely underpriced. Only those on deep discount catch his eye.
Price is everything for any options trader. Professional market makers know nearly everything about an underlying stock days before you do. Stock splits, upcoming earnings, possible takeovers — all these variables are baked into the price.
But with Power Options Weekly, you can beat the pros at their own game. Bargain hunters consistently win in the options game. They know the fair and true value of an option in advance. When you buy a cheap or underpriced option, you immediately give yourself the insider's edge, which is what Power Options Weekly is about. We trade simple call and put options — 'buying to open' and 'selling to close' — that just about any investor with even a little experience in the market can execute.
Ken runs his scans, applies his own proprietary filter, and then every Friday, he delivers 5 brand new options trades to you before the market opens. He gives you the exact option trade to make, specific entry price, and profit targets upfront. That lets you automatically keep a laser-like focus and trade options objectively, just like the pros do.
Ken gives you sell signal prices because another key to our Power Options Weekly strategy is retaining as much capital as possible. We pare the majority of my losses to the 20%-40% range — often far less.
When we have profits on the board, the risk/reward picture is fully evaluated by the Power Options Weekly team of experts and editors to determine whether we should capture those gains for instant gratification, or whether it's better to wait until a target is hit. When a trade has significant profits of 40% or higher, all the factors are reviewed to decide if it's the ideal time to take your profits off the table. You'll never go wrong by taking profits early. So, we've got you covered there, too.
Power Options Weekly allows you to manage your trades as actively as you want. Ken gives you the blueprint for profit every Friday, and then you can set your orders once and be done with it, or you can follow the real-time alerts when profits suddenly appear. Whether you've just started trading options or have years of experience, Power Options Weekly will work for you.

ISTI is pleased to announce that Comparison of Detection and Location Capabilities of Surface Microseismic Monitoring Algorithms, by ISTI authors, will be presented at the European Geosciences Union General Assembly, being held in Vienna, Austria on 8–13 April 2018.
Authors: Ilya Dricker, Paul Friberg, Sidney Hellman
Date: Thu, 12 Apr
Time: 17:30–19:00
Location: Hall X2, X2.382
The challenge of the surface microseismic monitoring (MSM) is that small-scale seismic activity which occurs as a result of human activities or industrial processes is often hidden in surface noise on individual seismic records. MSM algorithms must detect and locate signals with average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) significantly less than 1. To improve SNR MSM algorithms compute cost function over a large set of seismic records. Maximum of such function indicates presence, time, and location of the seismic signal. Other algorithms, such as Phase Robust Statistically Optimal and Diagonal Maximum Likelihood Adaptive algorithms offer accuracy improvements of location and detection in presence of correlated industrial noise. In this paper we use synthetic seismograms and seismic observation to compare accuracy of event locations using several algorithms of surface microseismic monitoring.

Health and Naturopathy: The best way to live your life
"A healthy mind lives in a healthy body"; if one is sick and weak, The Mind also becomes weak. Nature has given us our body; it is a perfect machine. It is our duty to keep our body in order. Like we take of our other machines, we oil them, take care and maintain them regularly so that they work smoothly, our body also needs our attention. The best way to keep healthy is through exercise and walking. Let's describe it point to point: –
How to stay fit
There are lots of advantages of staying fit physically; we will have more energy. You will look and notice an improvement in your overall health. Unfortunately, staying fit and in perfect shape is not as easy as it sounds. However, if you focus on nutrition and work, you can make lots of changes. Always remember for staying fit and healthy, positive attitude is important. Whatever you pick makes sure it includes an aerobic action that makes our inhalation and exhalation harder and expands our health level.
It is necessary to keep ourselves happy. Stress or levels of stress are not the same for everyone; it differs from people to people. As a human, it is difficult to stay stress-free, but you have to keep yourself stress-free as much as you can. In many experiments, it has been observed that many modern diseases are only due to the stress. Some people you might have seen that they become stressed even if everything is normal to them. Stress brings anxiety, depression, diabetes, high pressure and many other diseases. You can try to meditate or do Yoga to help you out of stress. The more you can make you stress-free, more mentally you will remain fit, and you will stay much disease-free life. Making assured that happiness level is giving maximum readings can supply many health welfares.
Make it habit
There are many advantages of exercise if we do it regularly. There is one perfect way to make it a habit" Strict is to pick" a form of exercise that you'll enjoy. For example: if you walk early in the morning for ten days it will become our habit to go and walk every day, but if you do not use to walk every day then you feel worse sometimes.
Go Outdoors
You will definitely love going outdoors for working out. The gym is also a great source of health and fitness, but it is costly for many around the globe. People can make a gym in their own house with low costs, but still you will have to spend some make a gym in your house, and secondly, you should have enough space make a gym in your house. And also, scientists report that exercising outdoors have greater benefits. A few benefits are as follows:
- You are going to have fresh air that you can't have indoors or at the gym.
- Greenery all around you is useful for your eyes.
- You can have free vitamin D from nature, which is good for your bone, muscle and tendon strengths.
- Running on a terrain will make your body more fit as the terrains in the park are not like straight, and they have ups and downs. Your body in a few days will automatically learn how to run on those terrains.
- You will deal with wind on your direction or from the opposite direction, which will make your exercise tougher at times, and thus you will learn how to deal with them.
- You are going to exercise with park equipment, which is as beneficial as the gym ones.
- You are going to meet new people, and some of them are going to be your friend in your near future.
- You will absolutely have to pay nothing for working out in a park.
These are only a few benefits of exercising outdoors; there are many many more benefits. Therefore, train outside in a park to get better results in an interesting way.
Chew Slowly
Never eat fast, it really does matter. A survey committed that chewing every bite for longer benefits, like for losing weight, because the stomach gets more time to send a signal to the mind about its capacity. Therefore, the slower you bite, the lesser you eat. The longer our food halt in touch with our saliva, the higher quality it gets slippery.

(VIDEO) Protest in Kavadarci on Sunday: There is neither EU negotiations date nor unconditional NATO invitation
VMRO-DPMNE leader Hristijan Mickoski in his video address stated that SDSM came to power with a promise of a better life and higher salaries..
"Before they came to power, they were the loudest that there was no justice, that there was no peace, they did not hesitate to abuse family and other personal tragedies. And it was not hard for them to crash, to destroy. To degrade the entire system. The poison that was sown in society caused hatred, envy, and intolerance. They promised wonders. And now when they are in power they are silent about the injustices, cold-blooded murders are treated as a statistical record in crime articles, for the government they are ordinary violence and not ferocious murders," Mickoski emphasized.
The president of VMRO-DPMNE pointed out that life, personal tragedies, terrified families are not as attractive and important as before, that you will not hear analysis of people dying in hospital halls, while health care is still untouched by the life that they gave promises about.
"For the government, the word is not a word, nor deeds a reality. There is neither a date for negotiations with the EU nor an unconditional invitation for NATO. And it's not because we have an incompetent government. Defeats must stop, and the answer to that is every one of you," he said.
"That's why we will continue to protest and I invite you this week at 13:00 h in Kavadarci on a protesting march that will begin from the Sasko Geshkovski ring road to the monument in Kavadarci dedicated to the formation of the first committee of VMRO after Thessaloniki. Macedonia will win, Macedonia is waking up. We are waiting for you, join us," says Mickoski in his video address.

Hey You
We all have fears and sometimes we have to face that fear so we can move forward. Recently, I had to face my fear of writing. In particular, writing in the narrative style.
I tend to be insecure when it comes to language, especially English. Firstly, cause I'm generally better at numbers and logic. Secondly, cause it's my second language and my brain gets confused by all the rules, grammar and sentence structures that are completely different form my mother tongue.
Many people had told me that I can write. A part of me believed them but a large part didn't cause my mind liked to block their affirmations and created its own story: I can't write.
Oh but I love language. I love reading and being taken to far far away lands through strings of beautiful words. I love being inspired by the stories and I too want to share my own stories and inspire others.
This desire to share my own stories had gotten more serious this year. This led to setting up this letter series and my blog as avenues to practice.
About a week ago, I was clearing my emails while getting lost in my own thoughts thinking that I want to write a book but I don't know where to start. The next email I opened had a link to a travel writing scholarship from World Nomads. The winner gets to be mentored by a Lonely Planet author, on top of getting a 10-day trip to Australia. I couldn't believe the opportunity in front of my eyes. Someone up there heard me and that was my chance to learn! So I started writing the required essay.
Oh, it was HARD.
I wrote many drafts and got feedback from two good friends. They both said I just have to be myself and let my voice be heard through my essay.
By this time I was in my own pity hole and was chanting "I suck I suck I suck."
I went nuts. What the hell is my voice? Who am I? How do I show myself through my writing? Can you tell me what is my voice? Cause I for sure don't know how I sound on paper!
Ah, meltdowns – Universe way of shaking us so we can find ourselves.
After a break, I took a deep breath and looked at what I wrote. My friend told me to not worry about my voice and to just focus on what I want the readers to get. I changed one sentence at a time to paint the picture I want them to see, so that they feel like they were there with me on my journey.
One breath at a time. One sentence at a time. And with each breath, all stress and anxiety disappeared and I finished my essay and actually liked it too!
Finishing the essay was amazing. But my biggest triumph was changing the voice in my mind that said "I can't write" to "I CAN write". In the process of writing this essay, I learned that I was scared of writing cause I was afraid of being judged. I was afraid that if my writing is crappy, people would think that I am crappy. I was also afraid to be judged by the content that I'm writing. I cared too much of what people think to the point that it limited my belief on what I can do.
THAT, my friend, is my biggest lesson in this lifetime. I have learned, and am continuously learning to not worry so much about what others think. My value doesn't come from others, my value comes from myself.
I submitted my essay yesterday and It felt good. I may not win the scholarship, but I have won in changing my own limiting belief.
So, You, fear sucks. But don't let it ever stop you from doing what you want to do. The world is too big for us to live in fear.
Be courageous and shine.

Visual theater is one of the terms in which a creative act - performed for an audience or with its participation - may be described as an act the language of which is first and foremost that of visual images. This language is not limited to the creation of a visual image.
In its wider sense, it is a material, physical language that addresses all the senses and evokes mental images, a language in which every component - space, object, movement, voice or sound - may be equivalent to the actor and the human character. In contrast one may regard traditional theater based on the written drama, that is indeed presented visually but centralizes verbal discourse and its meanings.
In this wide space of action, visual theater defines itself as a form of expression that inherently rejects definitions, an area that subverts the delineating of areas.
Perhaps this is why it is associated with such numerous definitions and modes of performance:
performance art, installation, multimedia, puppetry, theater of objects, dance theater, theater of images, total theater, experimental theater and alternative theater.
Visual theater sheds medium definitions or distinct genre headings in favor of interdiscipline, the combining and fusion of arts, skills and materials. Therefore a framework of studies geared to facilitate this must offer such a wide range of subjects: space design, sculpture, drawing and painting, directing, acting, puppet design and animation, street theater, bouffons, movement, dance and release techniques, music, voice training and singing,dramatic writing, lighting and video. At the same time, students touch directly upon interdisciplinary performance art, from focused etudes to the finalized work presented to the audience. In addition, this framework offers workshops facilitated by artists, active and known both in Israel and abroad. Experiential work is matched by theoreticalstudies linked to the practical aims of visual theater. Issues of performance art, the history and theory of stage design, art history, philosophy, film history etc.
In these and other dynamic and varied means visual theater defines itself as a goal to be pursued.
Personal or collective exploration is to be aspired, seeking new and effective ways of expression and communication, and their spatial, physical, material, formal, musical, verbal or technological realization.
Visual theater is the goal to be pursued, and to no lesser extent, the actual daring to explore.
Defining the moment when visual theatre fully articulated itself as a genre is difficult: beyond Western theatre, Indian Kathakali or Japanese Noh are traditional forms that don't fall easily into simple divisions of dance or drama, emphasising costume and gesture above the word, and mime, most famously codified into an easily recognisable costume by Marcel Marceau, became popular in the early nineteenth century.

Some of you have asked for my recipe for my Buckeye/Bars. You can make them either way or even leave the chocolate off for the best Peanut Butter Fudge!
I usually make these as buckeyes every year for Christmas because my Dad and Brother love them so much but this year I am having a lot of pain and was not looking forward to all the rolling and dipping that goes along with buckeyes. I decided to just try and make them as bars. They are so easy to make!
You will need:
*1 1/2 cups peanut butter
*1/4 cup butter
*4 cups powdered sugar
* several tablespoons off milk
*3 cups milk chocolate chips
*1 tablespoon shortening
Mix together pb, butter and sugar. Pour tablespoons of milk in to moisten as needed to make it easier to stir or dig in with your hands like I do. Once it has reached a fudge state you can pack into a 13 x 9 pan or roll into balls for buckeyes. Place in freezer for around an hour to let it sit. {I went to the store last night and forgot about them and they were in there for hours and they were fine, lol}
Place chocolate chips and shortening in microwave safe bowl for about 1 minute. Take out and stir till all chips are melted. Pour chocolate over top of fudge and spread with a spoon or spatula so it is even. To make buckeyes dip fudge balls into chocolate with a toothpick and set on tray and place in fridge to let set.
You will need to spread the chocolate quickly, it will start to set and harden very quickly. You will want to cut into candy size pieces before chocolate starts to harden so that t will not crack and separate from fudge. If it does separate just softly press down on chocolate to bond it with fudge.
Enjoy your sugar coma and have a very Merry Christmas!

Dino Crisis – ★★★½
It's 22 years since things went a bit wrong at "Jurassic Park" but the park has now had a complete rebrand and "Jurassic World" is now one of the top tourist destinations in the world. It now covers much of Isla Nublar, the island off the coast of Costa Rica where John Hammond built his park all those years ago. There's increasing pressure from its board to keep things fresh so (supporting player from the 1993 film) Dr. Henry Wu has cooked up a brand new hybrid for park operations manager Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) and owner of the park Simon Masrani (Irrfan Khan). It's an enormous, unpredictable "Indominus Rex" which has been spliced together from a range of top dinosaurs, with the precise cocktail remaining secret to everyone but Dr. Wu.
The film stars Chris Pratt as Owen Grady, an Indiana Jones-type traditionalist working at Jurassic World as a raptor wrangler. He's been training velociraptors to follow orders, under the jealous and watchful eye of Vic Hoskins (Vincent D'Onofrio), the head of security operations who sees a lot of money in using trained velociraptors as tools of war. Yes, seriously.
The Indominus Rex inevitable escapes from its compound and Claire's two nephews are loose in the park as it goes on the rampage. Cue high-heeled Claire and Owen Grady heading out to rescue them as things get increasingly out of control and Hoskins tries to get his militarisation plans underfoot.
Universal Studios have plucked director Colin Trevorrow from indie obscurity and unlike with Marvel films, it feels like he's in control here having been allowed to re-write a script that had been knocking around for years. Once we get his first 45 minutes of establishing plotting out of the way we're able to settle into a highly enjoyable, though increasingly implausible, adventure – though we're talking about re-introducing dinosaurs to earth so its seems silly to level any criticisms of implausibility at the work.
As with Guardians of the Galaxy, Pratt is ridiculously likeable and drags the film along when things start to sag. He's come a long way from "Parks and Recreation's 'Fat Andy'" and there's now no doubting his A-lister credentials with him fulfilling that old thing that studios pay millions for – "you'd like to be him or be with him". Much like the original film, a lot of fun also comes from the supporting cast, notably a great turn from TV favourites Jake Johnson ("New Girl", also Treverrow's Safety Not Guaranteed) and Lauren Lapkus ("Orange is the New Black").
Some criticism was levelled at the film's poor early trailer and clips for its gender stereotyping but the franchise was never about empowering women and by the film's end Bryce Dallas Howard is a damn-sight tougher than Laura Dern's Ellie Sattler ever was in the original. She is focused on her career with no time for dating or family and that's fine. Dallas-Howard and Trevorrow have developed a really interesting character and apparently it was her choice to keep the high-heels on Claire throughout. After all the talk, she's actually not the worst role-model for any younger female audiences seeing this 12A adventure.
There is tremendous affection for Spielberg's 1993 film and you can feel both his influence and blessing all over Jurassic World. One of the film's biggest successes is in how it handles the shadow of the original, beginning at first with a series of subtle nod, and then eventually climaxing with a massive bombastic moment that isn't a hundred miles away from the kind of fanboy freakout thrill you'd get while watching Sharknado or Godzilla. Like the film as a whole, the final act is ridiculous and not all that original, but gives the audience exactly what they want.

In many ways, selling your products on Amazon.com is an eCommerce dream. You have a huge platform available to you with advanced setting options, and best of all, a built in consumer audience. Last year during the holidays, Amazon captured almost 40% of all eCommerce spending online. In fact, Amazon did more business than the next 21 retailers did combined.
One of the advantages of selling on Amazon—but also one of the potential pain points—is the sheer number of choices. You'll need to deal with shipping, advertising, and page element options, not to mention a whopping three different seller platforms: Seller Central, Vendor Central, and Vendor Express. To help you along in your decision making process, we'll summarize these three platforms below. We'll walk you through the elements of each so you can pick the one that best fits your business model.
Seller Central is by far Amazon's biggest selling platform. It's open to everyone willing to set up a new account and pay the required fees. If you are putting products on Seller Central, than you are doing so as a third party seller. Think of Amazon as a large, open market with thousands of stalls. On Seller Central, you rent out one of those stalls yourself. You're fully responsible for keeping the stall stocked with goods, and you have complete control over your own prices.
If you desire, you can have Amazon ship your products through FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) services. However, you still manage your own inventory levels and make decisions on how much to keep in stock. When you rack up sales, Amazon pays you out for your success every 14 days.
Key points:
Vendor Central is Amazon's invitation-only selling platform. In this scenario, rather than a third-party seller, you are acting as a supplier. You send goods to Amazon, who then sells them for you under the Amazon name. So when a customer goes to purchase one of your products, they are choosing the "buy from Amazon.com" option.
In exchange for your cooperation, Amazon will let you put extra work into making your product sell. This includes Amazon Vine, where top reviewers write reviews for your product before the product page even goes live. It also includes A+ content, such as videos, graphs and charts, and extra formatting for your images and product descriptions. You'll face less competition, as Amazon almost always wins the "buy box".
In this scenario, you are the supplier bringing goods to the stall that Amazon runs. Because they are in charge of the whole marketplace, it's a bigger, fancier stall than you could run yourself. However, you also don't have control over how the stall is set up. Amazon makes the decisions on the pricing and the inventory levels. In addition, Vendor Central doesn't pay you as quickly as Seller Central. Instead of waiting 14 days, you'll need to wait 2-3 months between disbursements.
Key points:
The third option for selling on Amazon is a relatively new platform called Vendor Express. At it's heart, it's basically a mix of the two other platforms available. Like Seller Central, it's open to all. Like Vendor Central, Amazon manages your inventory for you. However, it does not have the full range of options that Vendor Central provides, such as Amazon Vine and advanced marketing choices. In addition, you'll typically need to provide Amazon with free samples of your products, and you'll face longer disbursement terms.
Key points:
If you're invited to Vendor Central, it may seem like an obvious choice; the exclusivity alone makes it attractive. However, it's not necessarily a great decision, depending on your business model. Not being able to control your prices can affect your margins and damage your brand.
If you are a large company, and Amazon sales are not your primary source of income, then Vendor Central has a lot of potential. You can sell your products without having to worry about managing your inventory, and you'll get some big bonuses on marketing. However, if you're already well established on Seller Central, and depend on Amazon to do your business, then moving platforms and relinquishing control of your well-honed strategy might be a big mistake.
As for Vendor Express? It's a new experiment, that could prove to be the best (or the worst) of both worlds. Since it's open invite, you might consider trying it out with a single product and reviewing the gains after a few months.
Ultimately, you want to carefully look at your own company and make sure whatever you choose best suits your end goals.
Emily Bell is a marketing expert who has worked extensively with several third-party Amazon sellers recording over $10 million in sales per year. She now works regularly with Amazon consulting agencies such as PPCScope and Egility. Her writing has appeared in Forbes and around the web.
Seller Central is a good place to start, especially if you're starting small. Drop-shipping is a great option when you don't have a huge starting capital.
Great tips here! I agree that picking the product according to the business model plays an important role. It is like a base for any Amazon business.

I got a little problem after upgrading my Fujitsu's Ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04, I removed some of the kernel files and directory by hand some time ago, and it turned back as a problem after the upgrading was complete. To make it short, I can not update anything before the broken dependencies is fixed, but I can't fix the broken dependencies because all the files were already manually deleted by me. Lucky me the Synaptic Package Manager list the directories and files that were deleted, so here's what I've done
1. Created all the directories with mkdir
mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/volatile/
2. Created all the files with touch
touch /boot/System.map-2.6.27-7-generic
touch /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-7-generic
3. Fixing it with
sudo aptitude -f remove
And finally I can use the Update Manager again.

There has been a particular surge in interest following last summer's Olympic Games with nearly 52,000 schools, clubs and groups now signed up to benefit from their membership. Beckham and four-times Paralympic swimming champion Ellie Simmonds are among the ambassadors for the scheme. "Last summer showed us the power that sport has to inspire, which is why it is so important to make sure the next generation has the opportunity to get involved in sport and exercise in as many ways as possible," said Simmonds.

ARound: Augmented Reality Browser Application for Nokia N97, N86 and 6210 Navigator
Over the last year many so-called "augmented reality" applications have been popping up, specially on the Android platform. While the concept is not new (research on the proper field of Augmented Reality dates back to the '90s), it has generated some media attention lately. Unfortunately there is no mention so far of any similar application on Symbian smartphones, so Sequence Point Software S.L decided to bring this function on S60 devices. The result is ARound. This project aims to fill the gap by providing a prototype application featuring the use of sensors (GPS and compass), camera and location based services.
The application overlays the image stream generated from the camera with markers of "Points of Interest" around the user. It has been developed for the Nokia N97 and a hand full of other Nokia devices. Making use of plugins allows third-party developers to customize the application at different levels. The application is using the internet to download the Wikipedia, landmark and Twitter information.
- Showing Points of Interest using Wikipedia information, landmarks and Tweets
- Use of Data Source plugins, which allows third-party developers to add their own sources of information.
- Display different details of each point of interest, including hiperlinks to external resources.
- Being a pluggable component makes it possible for third-party developers to include it as a customized view into their applications.
This is a freeware applications I've tested on the N97 and the N86. It works fine for both devices. I've also tested this software with the 5800 XpressMusic. Unfortunetely it didn't worked.

This week's Sentiment Survey special question asked AAII members how the average consumer is fairing relative to a year ago. Approximately 45% view the average consumer as faring better or somewhat better than a year ago. A better job market, low inflation and economic growth were the primary reasons why. Slightly more than 20% think the average consumer is faring about the same as a year ago. Some of these respondents cited a lack of adequate wage growth. Nearly 15% think the average consumer is faring worse, primarily because of a perception that wage growth is not keeping up with inflation.
Here is a sampling of the responses:
- "About the same. Gasoline prices remain low, but food seems to keep getting more expensive."
- "Better. Employment is higher, interest rates remain low and inflation is still in check."
- "Better. Job growth has been steady, wages are up and inflation is low."
- "Fair to poor because income is not keeping up with real inflation."
- "I believe the average person is doing better, but not significantly better."

We've long craved the details of George and Amal Clooney's romantic meet-cute, and now, thanks to George Clooney's father, Nick Clooney, we can perfectly envision the first time they laid eyes on each other.
According to Nick, the couple met at a dinner gathering with a group of mutual friends in 2013 and sparks immediately flew. Amal arrived at the dinner, George's parents answered the door and from the beginning, they could tell there was something special about her.
"She was obviously very charming, gorgeous and so clearly accomplished, but by the time we had supper that night, it was clear there was a kindness to her and an inclusiveness," Nick recently told People.
As the evening continued, Nick and his wife, Nina, could tell their son, George, was sprung. "By the end of supper, I started looking over at Nina and saying, 'Look ouuuut, this could be trouble for this young man!'"
The proud father (and new grandfather) continued on to say, "I really think by the time that first (meeting) was over, his and her fates were sealed, both of them. She was so remarkable and he was so remarkable around her...This young woman meant something to him almost immediately. It was just amazing."
So love at first sight does exist... Excuse us, we have something in our eye. *Runs off to retrieve tissues and rewatch One Fine Day*

A publication of the Archaeological Institute of America
A cache of 63 unexploded Civil War-era mortar bombs has been discovered by sport divers in Mirror Lake, near Calais, Vermont. Arthur Cohn, director of the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum, working with Towney Anderson, a state historic preservation officer, in cooperation with other state and federal agencies, recovered the ammunition, which was still live. Three years ago the same divers found a cache of 93 bombs, which were determined to be a hazard and destroyed by the police. With support from Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont), funding was secured from the Department of Defense Legacy Program to preserve the second cache. "This time it was acknowledged that there could be a positive outcome," says Anderson. "The state police gave us time to find a team that could bring the bombs up without [later] destroying them. My hat's off to them."
The bombs, 12-pound spherical case shot, are nearly five inches in diameter and attached to a wooden base called a sabot. When such a bomb was fired, the sabot fell away and the projectile, timed by a fuse to explode after one to five seconds, rained shot down on the enemy. "Well-preserved sabots, rounds, fuses, and powder are extremely rare," says Cohn. A special Navy demolition team from Indian Head, Maryland, working with the Vermont National Guard, used a remote-controlled drilling device to remove the powder from the bombs, rendering them harmless. The ammunition will be conserved at the Maritime Museum, where it is currently on display. The Lake Champlain Basin Program has provided financial support.
How did live Civil War ammunition end up on the bottom of a Vermont lake? Records show that the state had a large arsenal at Montpelier. Lids from shipping crates, found on land owned by Vermont's quartermaster general from 1864 to 1870, bore his name and address, "General P.P. Pitkin, Montpelier, Vermont," on one side, and "Watervilet Arsenal New York January 1865," on the other. Records from the Watervilet arsenal show that 12-pound mortar bombs were produced there at the time. The bombs may have been dumped into the lake in an attempt to neutralize them.

How common is it?
When we count how many we think are sexually abused in Sweden, we use the statistics from BRÅ (The Crime Prevention Council). Their figures confirm what we already know; it's hard to talk about sexual abuse, both for adults and for children. BRÅ's statistics show that two out of ten sexual offenses are reported. Studies conducted on children suggest that it's even harder for children to tell and that only one of ten child victims tell someone. This makes it impossible to know exactly how common it is.
BRÅ's statistics show that about 18,000 sexual offenses are reported to the police each year. 3,000 of those reports include child rapes between the ages of 0-17. Just as many – 3,000 rapes – are reported by adults every year. The figures available indicate that children are three times more likely to be raped than an adult.
If you count with the unreported cases, meaning that 2 of 10 sex crimes are reported, we land on figures of 90 000 sexual offenses, 30 000 rapes every year. That gives us almost 250 sexual abuse or exploits of children or adults, every day in Sweden.
If you look at the global statistics, Sweden ranks as the country with the second-highest number of rapes committed in the world. We believe those figures are very misleading. Because, after all, it is relatively easy to report sexual crimes in Sweden, compared to many other countries.
If we look at information coming from the different organizations that work with human rights, we see that sexual violence is prevalent all over the world. The people who are most vulnerable are women and children in conflict areas.
Anyone can be abused
People from all backgrounds are exposed to sexual abuse. The most vulnerable are women and children, but men are also subjected to sexual abuse. To live in a conflict zone, or to have a functional disability increases the risk of being subjected to sexual abuse.
Statistics from the Södersjukhuset's emergency room for raped women in Stockholm, and from studies, such as ACE – Adverse Childhood Experiences show that the risk of being raped as an adult increases if you have been sexually abused as a child.
Who abuses?
The vast majority of offenders are male, although women can also abuse. Brå's statistics show that amongst the reported sexual crimes, 98 of 100 offenders are male. It also shows that children and teenagers abuse other peers or younger children. Experience indicates that many of those who subjected others to sexual abuse themselves have been subjected to various kinds of violations in the past.
Often times the offender usually knows the person they're abusing. And that applies to both adults and children.
From the outset, you can't see on a person that he or she abuses someone. Offenders can be found across all social classes and cultures, and they have, just like any other person, many different sides. Many are seemingly very kind. If you don't have sufficient knowledge about sexual abuse, it's easy to think that a person who is nice and charming wouldn't expose someone to sexual abuse. But sadly, this is a mistake. It would be much easier if these perpetrators were generally unpleasant and aggressive. Sometimes it can be so. No matter their personality, it's always wrong to subject someone to sexual abuse, however nice the person may be.
The abuse that is targeted to divide and disrupt families and communities, to achieve economic or strategic objectives is called conflict-related sexual violence. It is common in war, or when different groups want to gain control of valuable natural resources. It is usually women and children who are exposed, but men are also affected. Conflict-related sexual violence does not replace the sexual abuse that occurs in peacetime. They are rather placed on top of that and become an additional stress for first and foremost women and children.

California, especially Santa Monica and Venice, is one of the most "lax" states when it comes to marijuana consumption. But that doesn't mean you can wander down the Venice Boardwalk with joint in hand and not expect to receive the attention of the boys in blue. And let's be candid, smoking weed in a joint format is one of the least healthy ways to absorb THC into your system. So if you're gonna imbibe in the drug while on the go, you need something like the Stealthvape. We are always looking for the best vapes and this is a good one. If you want to compare this to other options, take a look at one of the best online vape stores too. For another incognito way to smoke, check out our review of the Vaprwear, lets you vape semi-discreetly.
While we don't have an official confirmation, we believe this is the only portable, battery powered, handheld vaporizer on the market. Now, to be clear, Stealthvape doesn't endorse or suggest that you use this to vaporize marijuana, but we don't see why you wouldn't be able to do so since it can reach a temperature of 250°C in a matter of seconds. That's more than enough heat to vaporize the drug, though it will work with menthol-eucalyptus, lavender, chamomile, peppermint and "other useful vaporizable materials." That all said, the Stealthvape, as the name suggest fits in the palm of your hand, weighs 1oz, is powered off one included rechargeable AA battery and uses a casing made from a non-conductive material so you'll never get burned, though they say you will feel a bit of warmth in your hand during the vaporizing process.
You can buy the Stealthvape for $99, though it's sold out and will ship in the 4-6 weeks.

The Hemingway Curse
By Romina Monaco
It was a balmy afternoon in Havana. The streets were bustling with people; tourists on horse and buggy lured by the charm of a bygone era, Cubans selling wares and souvenirs on behalf of the regime, children in tattered clothing skirting about with energetic anticipation and also with the hope of enticing a sympathetic passerby to give them a dollar…or maybe two. I, on the other hand, sat at a table in the dark coolness of the El Floridita Hotel Bar. Enjoying a Mohito, I glanced over at my dear friend leaning heavily against the mahogany bar. He looked old now, solemn and beaten. No longer was he the exuberant, dashing man of his youth.
I wanted to make my way to him and ask a simple question, 'Why did you give up on your extraordinary life?' Was there a simple answer? Many have said it was the chaotic life of celebrity or perhaps the alleged notorious genetic bi-polar disorder, nicknamed the Hemingway Curse that led him and several of his immediate family to their deaths.
I glance down at the biography on the table. On the cover, Ernest Hemingway is middle aged and standing proudly on his prized boat, The Pillar. These books on his life offer several analytic perspectives of his shocking and sensationalized suicide. In my opinion, biographies have an air of bias where the reader can be easily influenced by the views of the author. By reading these narratives I am told that Ernest was an egocentric, ill-tempered alcoholic, bordering on a narcissistic personality disorder. He is also depicted as a pathological liar and a homophobic who suffered from a confused sexual identity. He battled with friends and family members, cutting off ties cold-heartedly and leaving a stream of casualties behind him. Biographers seem to agree that his mother is solely to blame for all these problems as it is no secret that he despised her.
However, there are several aspects of the author's life that seem to be overlooked by biographers, all of them too keen to write about his romantic escapades, noted male chauvinism and tumultuous relationships. Other than his early cross-dressing, when his mother dressed him in girl's clothing until the age of five, they skim over his childhood as something uninteresting and irrelevant. His nostalgic autobiography, A Moveable Feast, flawed in my opinion, was written in his latter years. Can anyone reviewing their life be objective when they are still emotionally affected by the outcome of altering events?
I didn't begin to develop my own amateur psychoanalysis until I read The Letters of Ernest Hemingway 1907-1922. The personality expressed through his correspondences does not correlate with the destructive and addictive personality biographers depict in Ernest's later years. However, there is evidence everywhere of his mental instability and I do not argue the events recorded in history. The most noted were the electro shock treatments he received at the Mayo clinic in 1959.
It seems Ernest Hemingway's greatest aspiration throughout his youth was simply to escape the clutches of his dogmatic and abusive father. His father was an inexorable disciplinarian and his weapon of choice was the whip. It was used in harsh military fashion. Ernest had a profound hatred for his mother and blamed her for his father's suicide. Or did he blame her for not protecting him as a child? 'I hate her', he would say. The world has concluded this animosity stems from his early years when she dressed him in an array of frocks and ribbons. This was a common custom at the turn of the 20th century.

The world has concluded this animosity stems from his early years when she dressed him in an array of frocks and ribbons. This was a common custom at the turn of the 20th century.
In his later years Ernest ceased all communication with his siblings except one, his sister Ursula, but then she too succumbed to the curse years later, as did his brother Leicester. The curse has been described as a genetic predisposition to manic depression. However, my belief is that it is a dysfunction with its inception lying in child abuse. As a young boy Ernest spent many a night sleeping and reading in solitude in his tent outside the Hemingway home. I wonder if it was to escape the clutches of an austere, extremely religious and violent father. His sister, Marceline acutely described the physical abuse of the Hemingway children in her book, At the Hemingway's.
Ernest married several times and was known for having affairs within his marriages. The affairs he had all ended in marriage, even converting to Catholicism to appease one of his brides. Seen as womanizer, I would argue that his romantic history does not seem to be different than that of any man of stature and fame in today's world. He was not known for the one-night –stand and oddly enough he lost his virginity in his twenties. It seems quite clear that he was attracted to the euphoric sensations of love. Evidence of this is found in letters written to all four of his wives.
He was an aficionado of the bullfight and hunting. His novel, Death in the Afternoon sparked controversy for its graphic portrayal of the Spanish bullfight. His intent with this book was to describe death and the fear that accompanies it. However, it was viewed as a literary outlet for the pleasures of animal brutality. This opinion was further reinforced because of his frequent African Safari hunting trips, critics ignoring the fact that he was raised by a father who was an avid sportsman in an era when hunting was socially acceptable. He was indeed fascinated by death but I believe it finds ground in his NDE experience during WWI. Despite being one of the greatest Americans novelists who ever lived it seems that poor Ernest always got the short end of the stick, on many accounts.
I glance over at my friend and I think of all the disillusionment he created for himself and his loved ones…all born from the pain within his tortured soul. Ernest was a complex man permeating a paradox of characteristics and ideals. I remember a wonderfully insightful article in American Psychiatry written by Christopher D. Martin from the Menninger Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas entitled Ernest Hemingway: A Psychological Autopsy of a Suicide. American Psychiatry further reinforces Martin's theory of extreme child abuse within the Hemingway family:
'The accumulating factors contributing to his burden of illness at the end if his life are staggering' writes Martin, listing Hemingway's bipolar mood disorder, depression, chronic alcoholism, repetitive traumatic brain injuries, and the onset of psychosis. But it seems clear that the defining problem of his life was the experience of his childhood. His confusion over gender, his Oedipal desire to kill his father for beating him, together led to what Martin calls 'a retreat into a defensive façade of hyper-masculinity and self-sufficiency'.

A Pinch of Cuteness
It was recently my cousins 10th birthday and I'd heard that she might like one of my aprons. So I toddled off to look for material with my sister and came across this ADORABLE cupcake stuff!
So I got to work. Aprons are pretty much second nature to me now after the mounds of them made for christmas and so it was pretty easy going, but as usual I seemed to leave most of the work until the last minute. I'll learn one day i'm sure.
My grandparents also commissioned me to make her a bracelet and necklace.
When she opened up her present she was very pleased, especially as it matched a cupcake cookbook she'd got earlier on in the day! I need to find some time to go visit and bake some cupcakes with her I think.
Just a couple of days ago I went to a Conference/Awards Ceremony at my boyfriends work. Partly because I wasn't doing anything else, partly because I barely see him with the hours he works. His office decided all to wear Maroon ties so I went to town and found some sale bargains so I could fit in with their colour scheme! This whole outfit cost less then £30 (Not including my shoes). I think the bag was the biggest bargain of the day, reduced to £8 from over £20.
There were lots of speeches which were actually very interesting and quite inspirational, some of them were even giving off the same message as 'The Penguin Theory' from earlier on in my blog. There was only one speaker who I started dozing off too which I think was pretty good going. Then there was talk of a 'guest speaker'. We figured it would end up being maybe the owner of the company or something. Needless to say, we were very pleasantly surprised when out walked James Caan (of Dragons Den fame)!
He talked about how he got into business and how he got onto Dragons Den. It was very inspirational and he truly seems like a likeable, hardworking man. Apparently his first investment on Dragons Den was a Doggy Treadmill.
After the conference I asked Ash if we could go on a little date as we'd barely seen each other. We ended up going to a Giraffe restaurant. I had a posh Chicken Kiev which was very tasty. It was really nice to just be able to speak to each other and have fun, it felt like we hadn't had some 'us' time in ages. Even though we now live together it's doesn't really feel like it as he works so much…He's just a teddybear I cuddle at night (once he arrives home).
But he is a very cuddly teddybear so i'm not complaining.
For now though I'm having to rely on my Gromit (of wallace and gromit) hotwater bottle cover to cuddle as i'm back in the north. Not for long though as i'm just picking up the last of my things (including all of my craft things!) before going back again tomorrow.
I've missed my crafts far too much so i'm ridiculously excited to finally be able to pick them up!
Till next time!
Stay Happy!

Closed Sun. & Mon.
The Brand Art Library Galleries is pleased to present a group exhibition featuring artwork by Sophia Allison, Autumn Harrison, Li 'n Lee and Jaime Ursic. Through installation, painting, printmaking, and sculpture, Landskin explores emotional and psychological environments, both observed and imaginary.
Sophia Allison's art is inspired by the organic environs of her childhood home in the Blue Ridge mountains of North Carolina and her neighborhood in Los Angeles. Her sculptures and installations reference specific places and points in time, both physical and psychological. The "Blue Ridge" series consists of structures built from cardboard scraps. Their forms undulate like abstracted mountain ranges. Untitled (Shadows) is comprised of watercolor paper from which abstracted shapes are hand cut; their cast shadows are based on local vegetation around her Los Feliz neighborhood. Allison's work addresses the connections and disconnections that result from revisiting the past, including the fragmentation of memories and experiences that meld and shift over time.
Autumn Harrison is interested in the discarded, decaying and abandoned materials of city life. She is influenced by the scaffolding of an unfinished construction, a half-eaten cake in its decorative box, or puckered balloons pulling each other across a sidewalk. Together these elements create an aesthetic language that conveys something about a city's hidden emotional landscape. Her current sculptures and installations borrow from the colors, shapes, and physics of city detritus and are created from a variety of materials including plastic sheeting, acrylic paint, wood, cement, latex balloons and bakery foil.
Li 'n Lee's over-life-sized paintings-cum-sculptures evoke mythical islands full of impossible canyons, valleys and roiling waves, but also draw upon the very real setting of Los Angeles and all that it entails, including but not limited to palm trees, the people, the ocean, freeways and urban graffiti. This most recent body of work began as a translation of Lee's longstanding pen-on-paper drawings of miniature, imaginary cityscapes motivated by a fascination with maps and the complex juxtaposition of chaos and order within metropolises. For her new painting-sculpture hybrids, Lee first begins with a free-form paint pour onto linoleum flooring which she eventually cuts out and adheres to wood. Drawing on her paper-making background, Lee cultivates a new process in which thin sheets of dried latex paint are treated like paper as she meticulously cuts, tears and pastes tiny organic shapes. Lee explores the manipulation and potential of the material, including experimenting with frosting bags to pipe out acrylic paint. Lee's new works, with their multi-layered references and meanings, are like the city of Los Angeles itself—full of disparate people, places and things that are seemingly contradictory but ultimately complementary.
Jaime Ursic takes her inspiration from her environment; the phenomenon of the mundane vista and timeworn surface connected with the places she inhabits. In her recent body of work, Ursic reinterprets the SoCal landscape by drawing on her introspective observation of a location distilled to its most microcosmic elements. Working in a variety of media including painting, drawing and printmaking, Ursic's work demonstrates an emphasis on process. Each mark serves as a visual homage to her craft— building up surfaces, layering subtle color tonalities, printing and embossing textures. Her images invite the viewer to peer closer and discern the drawn marks and delicate patterns incised, pressed and layered as surfaces.

Exploration has lead me to discovery, of the most epic pair of leather bracers! Over the last few days, I have been visiting the Limited Bazaar event, waiting for the new designer releases to come on show. Bored of the no show, I cruised the sim & discovered such a amazing store called .Shi. The designer, Joy Laperriere, designs fashion for both in world and RL (real life) – from 3D to wardrobe!…She is so creative (click on her name for her FB page). .Shi make the epic bracers. Remarkable Oblivion (RO) created the menacing Louisville Slugger bat. 🙂
All the rest of my outfit can be viewed in my previous post … that's all for now folks…peace. 🙂
