diagonal update
BITFINEX:BTCUSD Bitcoin / U.S. Dollar
404 views
i hope your right if $320. this will put us on the green.
user100000 altcoinbonanza
the minimum target for the whole expanding diagonal is 332.93. the market must reach 332.93 if the expanding diagonal is the correct interpretation. but im expecting 408.81 as the "ideal" target for wave 5
altcoinbonanza user100000
i'm with you on wave 5. i hope wave 5 is big enough for me and my surfboard.
nice analysis. now that the longterm downtrend has been more or less been broken...what potential bull run do you see btc having in 2015?
user100000 kenzboard
the bull market started at 166 as far as im concerned. the whole pattern is one giant expanding diagonal. wait for the market to print USD4,800 per bitcoin
So no 28k anymore?
user100000 rivet.popper
lets see what happens as the market approach 4800. if you can see two impulse waves separated by a correction the expanding diagonal pattern is most likely complete and we should get a correction from that point forward. it's too early to tell
You predicted it at least a month ago. Now it's too early to tell?
user100000 rivet.popper
yes, that was based on a semilog scale chart which is still possible. my 4800 target is more conservative/less speculative arithmetic scale target. we'll know how the market behaves as it approaches 5K
ok, so at the very least you are predicting 4800 USD per coin by march 27th? thanks for your replies, btw.

SpeakOut! Email Petitions allows you to easily create petition forms on your site.
When visitors to your site submit the petition form, a copy of your message will be sent to the email address you specified e.g. your mayor. They can also choose to have the email BCC'd to themselves (default). The petition message will be signed with the contact information provided by the form submitter. After signing the petition, visitors will have the option of sharing your petition page with their followers on Facebook or Twitter.
Signatures are stored in the WordPress database and can be easily exported to CSV format for further analysis. You may set a goal for the number of signatures you hope to collect and then watch as a progress bar tracks your petition's advance toward it's goal. Petitions may also be configured to stop accepting new signatures on a specified date.
This plugin is a fork of the speakup plugin that was quite good but had been abandoned. Current versions of SpeakOut! include an importer to migrate from speakup.
- Improvement: You can now add some signer details to the petition message that is sent to the target e.g. "%first_name% would like to send you a message"
- Improvement: Country flags can now be hidden in signature list.
- Improvement: Updated all language files
- Improvement: Postal Code can now be positioned before city for EU style address. Change this option in settings
- Improvement: added Bulgarian language
- Improvement: Updated all language files
- Bug fix: Custom field wasn't displaying in top position in widget – Thanks Bahman
- Bug fix: removed duplicate definition of variable
- Bug fix: replaced jQuery .attr() with .prop() when retrieving form properties. Thanks @pinguluk
- Improvement: Added Arabic language – it is auto translated so might be a bit odd in places.
- Improvement: Updated the WP dashboard plugin page link to the support forum – https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/speakout/
- Improvement: Added class dk-speakout-count to numbers before and after bar graph so they can be styled. Thanks David
- Bug fix: jquery shouldn't be called when loading style sheet – broke styles on signature page
- Improvement: Cleaned up some translation code
- Improvement: Translated signature dropdown strings
- Improvement: Language file updates
- Improvement: Cleaned up plugin meta Header Fields
- Improvement: Clarified location of custom CSS file in settings page
- Improvement: added plugin version number to internal (.js, .css) script links as cache buster
- Improvement: Signatures action button disabled until either petition or signature is selected
- Bug fix: Missing close div tag around recaptcha – Thanks Mo
- Bug fix: Prevent force confirm if no petition selected so that action always works
- Bug fix: If signature had been deleted and signer tried to confirm it would loop. Now goes to home page.
- Bug fix: Signature drop down text working better for send reconfirm process.
- Bug fix: select reconfirm and select delete didn't work if there was more than 1 petition
- Bug fix: recaptcha still wasn't working.
- Improvement: If manually forcing confirmation of signature, petition will be sent to target – use this option wisely grasshopper, it has the potential to undermine the validaty of your petition.
- Improvement: If collecting honorific is disabled, don't display honorific field in signature list. This fixes if they were collected for a while and the setting was disabled – thanks Robin Y.
- Improvement: Tweak of CSS for recaptcha
- Bug fix: Recaptcha wasn't working – thanks to those who reported this
- Bug fix: Undeclared variable broke ability to manually confirm signatures – thanks to those who reported this
- Improvement: Signature actions now include option to resend confirmation to selected signatures
- Bug fix: CSS file not included in 2.0.0 resulting in HUGE icon 😛
- Bug fix: Reconfirm signatures wasn't working
- Bug fix: Exported CSV file had missing and redundant values
- Bug fix: Delete petition wasn't working
- Improvement: Option for redirect URL after signing to have target='_blank' added to link. However this tends to trigger a popup warning in modern browsers and there doesn't appear to be a way around it. Thanks for the idea @jeka2365
- Improvement: The actions to apply on the admin signature page have been combined into a dropdown rather than a growing number of buttons.
- Improvement: As part of the signature actions, it is now possible to select multiple signatures to delete or confirm – thanks Michael Guy for the idea and donation…sorry it took so long 😛

If you would like to request or contribute a specific translation not listed above, visit the SpeakOut! Email Petitions website and use the contact form.
Emailpetition Shortcode Attributes
The following attributes may be applied when using the '[emailpetition]' shortcode
The ID number of your petition (required). To display a basic petition, use this format:
'[emailpetition id="1″]'
This sets the width of the wrapper '
div>' that surrounds the petition form. Format as you would a width rule for any standard CSS selector. Values can be denominated in px, pt, em, % etc. The units marker (px, %) must be included.
To set the petition from to display at 100% of it's container, use:
'[emailpetition id="1″ width="100%"]'
A petition set to display at 500 pixels wide can be achieved using:
'[emailpetition id="1″ width="500px"]'
This sets the height of the petition message box (rather than the height of the entire form). Format as you would a height rule for any standard CSS selector. Values can be denominated in px, pt, em, % etc. The units marker (px, %) must be included.
A few notes on using percentages:
Using a % value only works when the "Allow messages to be edited" feature is turned off—because the petition message will be displayed in a '
div>'. When "Allow messages to be edited" is turned on, the petition message is displayed in a ", which cannot be styled with % heights. Use px to set the height on petitions that allow message customization.
To set the message box to scale to 100% of the height of the message it contains, use any % value (setting this to 100%, 0%, 200% or any other % value has the same result). Use px if you want the box to scale to a specific height.
'[emailpetition id="1″ height="500px"]'
'[emailpetition id="1″ height="100%"]'
Sets the width of the outer progress bar. The filled area of the progress bar will automatically scale proportionally with the width of the outer prgress bar. Provide a numeric value in pixels only. Do not include the px unit marker.
To display the progress bar at 300 pixels wide, use:
'[emailpetition id="1″ progresswidth="300″]'
Adds an arbitrary class name to the wrapper '
div>' that surrounds the petition form. Typically used to assign the alignright, alignleft or aligncenter classes to the petition in order to float the petition form to one side of its container. To assign multiple classes, separate the class names with spaces.
'[emailpetition id="1″ class="alignright"]'
'[emailpetition id="1″ class="style1 style2″]'
Signaturelist Shortcode Attributes
The ID number of your petition (required). To display a basic signature list, use this format:
'[signaturelist id="1″]'
The number of signature rows to display in the table. This will override the default value provided on the Settings page. To display 10 rows, use:
'[signaturelist id="1″ rows="10″]'
Format of values in the date column. Use any of the standard PHP date formating characters. Default is 'M d, Y'. A date such as "Sunday October 14, 2012 @ 9:42 am" can be displayed using:
'[signaturelist id="1″ dateformat="l F d, Y @ g:i a"]'
The text that displays in the previous signatures pagination button. Default is <.
The text that displays in the next signatures pagination button. Default is >.
signaturecount Shortcode
Display the number (as text) of signatures collected for a given petition:
The ID number of your petition (required).
'[signaturecount id="3″]'
signaturegoal Shortcode
Display the number (as text) of goal for a given petition:
The ID number of your petition (required).
'[signaturegoal id="3″]'
Use the automatic installer. Or…
- Download and unzip the the plugin zip file.
- Upload the 'speakout' folder to your '/wp-content/plugins/' directory
- Activate SpeakOut! Email Petitions through the "Plugins" menu in the WordPress admin.

During the past couple of weeks I have enjoyed watching the Olympics in Rio. Rio is one of the places I pray to see because of the statue of Jesus over looks the city much like we can imagine He overlooks this world. I come from a long line of athletes that are in my family. I have a little athleticism in me, not very much, but I do enjoy watching those that have an abundance in most sports. It has always amazed me what a person can do athletically when he puts his mind to it.
During my youthful years, and many adult years, before I knew my Lord, I thought very highly of a person who had a great work ethic. I lifted a person up in my mind and heart who followed their dreams, and accomplishing what they set out to accomplish own their own by their own strength. I thought very highly of a person who could create their own work ethic, and followed it by His own strength. I was inspired by those who pushed themselves past where they had been spiritually, physically, and emotionally through their own power and grace or acceptance they received from others in the world.
I admired them and who they set out to be with all their gifts and pushing themselves to the highest level they could possibly get! I boasted about them, gave all credit to them and those that encouraged them. I worshiped some as an idol, and they inspired me to move past where I had been. It did not matter what dream I was living at the time in my own life I used them to inspire me to accomplish it. I thought if they can make a dream come true they wanted I can too, if I work hard, and if I believe in myself; I can do it!
Then I met my Lord and Savior and my heart and mind completely changed direction as I was willing to let Him change them every day because of who He was by the presence of Him I received from the Cross. As soon as I received Him my whole thought process changed by Him through the Holy Spirit. He became the person I lived for and I became the person He lived in and through.
He took me where I had never been in my mind, He gave me gifts, gave me a work ethic that went past my own ability, and gave me a strength and acceptance that inspired me further than I had ever been. He also has given me other true children of God that know Him as I do. We give Him all the glory and praise with our mouth, Him being our Lord on any platform we are given, and with our hearts walking as He did.
Now when I see an athlete, or any other person that has gifts, and accomplishments I know where they get all the gifts, the work ethic, the passion, the ability, and the grace or acceptance to accomplish all they dream or want to accomplish. What hurts me now that I know Him, and all He is that gives us life, is not many confess His name as Lord with their mouth when given a platform to glorify Him, nor do they show He is the treasure they hold most dear to their hearts. What hurts me now is what hurts Him because He is within me through His Spirit.
I am sure I hurt Him, and His true children when I did not acknowledge Him as Lord of my life. When a person receives Him they know His forgiveness and mercy he gives them to begin with Him for the first time being their Lord or begin again with Him being their Lord. Today may be your day to begin for the first time or begin again as Him being your true Lord of your life filling your heart and mind, and confessing it with your mouth!
Luke 12:8 "I tell you, whoever acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man, will also acknowledge him before the angels of God. But he who disowns me before men will be disowned before the angels of God.
Matthew 5:20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and dust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
John 15:15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.
A persons worldly accomplishments, their own work ethics, passions of this world, fulfilling their dreams, wealth, fame and acceptance from others will all pass away, and they will come to the end of their life without true love, peace, and joy that never fails. I know this because before I knew Him I did know His love, peace, and joy that went past my own natural human understanding. His peace is Him that goes past this world and past our dreams, past our own way, and working out our own accomplishments own our own.
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
A person without Christ will be missing out on God's favor, and acceptance from His gift of grace that takes any person past whatever they can accomplish on their own through their natural or spiritual gifts here and now. I know because I know the person I use to be before I knew Him. What good does it do if a person gains the whole world but loses his very soul?
Matthew 16:24-26 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life (soul) will lose it, but whoever loses his life (soul) for me will find it. What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
If a person is not losing their soul for His sake they are missing out on His will, His wisdom, His grace, His faith, His path, plans, and His future for their life that can take them past themselves and this world now into the next for eternity.
He will get all the glory and praise when a person truly has given their life to Him now and for eternity. A person who has given Him their heart knows He is their most gifted treasure. They know He has given them a platform to glorify Him!
Romans 10:8-10 But what does it say? The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart, this is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: This if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the death, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
Today are you giving Jesus glory by confessing with your mouth He is your Lord no matter where you are or the platform He has given you to speak from, and are you revealing He is the most gracious treasure of your heart from your way of life changing into His ways, thoughts and desires? If you are then you are already praising Him by way of your mouth being your Lord, and giving Him all glory from your heart as you being His child. You have lost your life for His sake, and found your true one!
If not, today you can begin being His true child by going to the cross and repenting of not acknowledging Him in all your ways, by confessing with your mouth, "Jesus Christ is Lord" every day, and living through His heart in all ways He has given you on any platform in life every day! He loves to prove who He is in your life everyday as you surrender yours to His when you speak and walk. He wants to take your soul and spirit past yourself and this world now into total freedom from yourself and this world into Heaven for His Kingdom!

When you need to have electrical wires and circuits repaired in your home or office building it is a good idea to enlist the services of a professional electrician. Having a professional carry out the repair work gives you several benefits, such as the assurance that the job is done correctly, optimal safety for you and your property as well as a guarantee on the work done. The only way to ensure that you can enjoy all of these benefits is by hiring a quality technician to carry out your electric repair in Fishers. Use the following simple tips to help you find the best electrical contractor available to carry out your repairs and service.
Ask For Professional References
To improve your chances of selecting the right electrician to carry out your repairs or installation, it is a good practice to request a list of professional references from each available option. You can contact several people or businesses on the list to ask about their experience with the contractor and how satisfied they were to gauge the quality of the services.
Check Insurance and Licensing
It is very important for any electrical contractor you choose to do business with to have a full insurance coverage policy before they begin the job in case of any mishaps or accidents that lead to the damage or loss of you or your property. It is also essential that you verify that the contractor has the licensing necessary to carry out the repairs you need and do them correctly.
Get Quotes From Several Contractors
One of the most effective ways to hire the ideal electrician for your needs is to compare several of the options you have available. After you perform an initial search and have a handful of electrical service providers to choose from, ask each one for a detailed quote and compare them to each other to find the one that offers the best overall value for your money.

Daylight can be used in buildings to reduce the energy spent on electric lighting and create aesthetically appealing interiors. Design decisions that affect the success of daylighting in a building span every phase of the design process, from site selection to the application of interior finishes. This unit discusses the role of daylight in indoor illuminated environments. Calculations to predict the quantity and distribution of daylight in spaces and predict the effects of shading devices are covered. Students learn about the local and global variables that influence daylight availability, recognize the challenges and opportunities with daylight in interior spaces, and the appropriate use of daylighting technologies. Modelling tools (Radiance based) will be used in order to assess the efficacy of selected daylight strategies.

On November 1, Göksu Güler took over the management of the export business at Homapal, a laminate manufacturer belonging to the Formica Group and mainly focused on wood and metal laminates.

His tasks include expansion into new geographical markets, whereby cooperation with the other laminate manufacturers belonging to Broadview Holding is also to be intensified.

A round-up of the recent Digital Workplace Summit including standout sessions, networking opportunities and key takeaways. The event was attended by leading organizations such as ANZ, Coles, Atlassian and Transurban - who provided an intriguing glimpse into their digital workplace solutions.
Last Wednesday, a team from GreenOrbit attended the first day of the Digital Workplace Summit - a great event at Maia, Docklands in Melbourne.
We were lucky enough to attend the conference but even more thrilled to be a sponsor!
What Did it Cover?
The Digital Workplace Summit was a two-day conference with two tailored streams running simultaneously. The digital workplace stream focused on:
Discussing the core challenges in achieving a flexible and collaborative digital workplace
Implementing a technology strategy to support the future of a digital workplace
Who Was There?
The session drew 129 attendees who were a mix of IT professionals in roles such as:
Heads of Digital Workplace
Digital Experience Managers
Enterprise Technology Specialists
Chief Architects
All looking to undergo a broader digital transformation in their organisation.
Throughout the event we heard engaging talks from leaders of top organisations such as NAB, ANZ Bank, Coles, Monash University, Atlassian, SpaceOS, Tabcorp, NextDC, Transurban and REA Group on key insights, experience and their success stories on topics ranging from:
Business cases for investment
Improving UX through technology
Aligning technology, people and place
Collaboration tools and platforms
Driving operational efficiency through technology
Future of work
Stand Out Session
A highlight of the conference was hearing from key note speaker Miranda Kovacic, Domain Lead, Employee Experience ANZ Bank.
Miranda emphasised how important it is to embed employee experience into the heart of workplace technology strategy.
She explained how ANZ Bank put adaptability, curiosity, learning and customer centricity at the core of their initiatives and take a human centred design approach.
Remote Work Round Table
Our own CTO, Josie Mangano, ran a round table discussion backed up by Lesley Maea, Director of Customer Success.
The topic was 'Using technology to engage a distributed workforce - the challenges of remote and mobile workers'.
Josie encouraged attendees to open up about the obstacles they have trying to engage their remote workers. Surprisingly, some organisations are still struggling to put their HR documents and leave requests online. It seems so simple but this is still a real issue for many companies.
Josie shared tips and solutions that the attendees could implement in their own digital workplaces. We got so much out of this session - stories about what happens on the ground from a range of user perspectives. Insights that help us to understand how work is changing and the ways GreenOrbit can help.
Networking Opportunities
The morning session was broken up by getting all attendees and speakers to participate in an exercise called Speed Networking - similar to speed dating without the awkwardness!
It was an effective way to break the ice, network and to understand what people wanted to get out of the conference.
Key Takeaways
The biggest takeaway from the conference was learning what hurdles people and organisations are still facing with their digital transformation. The common trends across the board are:
Engaging a mobile workforce
Getting senior buy in, changing mindsets and improving adoption of technology
Measuring the ROI and the success of a digital workplace
Moving to the cloud – implementation and security
This was such an engaging and informative conference.
It was inspiring to get a glimpse into how the boldest and brightest are designing and implementating amazing digital workplaces.
I highly recommend you get yourself to the next Digital Workplace Summit by ForeFront events - particularly if you want to keep pace with the ever-evolving future of work!

The recently released Federal Transit Administration (FTA) FY 2019 New Starts Report provides interesting insight into several locally competing projects seeking federal funding from the same source. President Trump proposes eliminating this program and reassigning funding toward his proposed $1.5 Trillion ten year infrastructure program.
This new program would provide $200 billion in federal funds over ten years. Uncle Sam would provide 20% of project costs.
Washington hopes these funds will leverage other city, state and private investments to cover the remaining 80% project costs. There will be negotiations between the White House and Congress on this proposal which will probably result in some sort of compromise.
The FTA New Starts program may end up preserved but funded at a reduced annual level. It is doubtful that funding would be increased. Existing Full Funding Grant Agreements (FFGA) will continue to be honored. Competition for remaining dollars to support new projects seeking FFGA will be more intense. Projects such as the $1.6 billion Portal Bridge, $13.2 billion Hudson River Gateway Tunnel and $6 billion Second Avenue Subway Phase Two will be competing against each and others sponsored by Governors, Senators, Congress members and transit agencies from 48 other states. This will result in fewer winners and far more losers.
Justification for replacement of the Northeast Corridor Portal Bridge has been discussed since the 1980's. It is really the first phase of the $29 billion Gateway Tunnel project. Numerous New Jersey Transit commuter rail lines, along with Amtrak, pass over the 100 year old Portal Bridge to access existing Hudson River tunnels and Penn Station.
The project has been in the development stage since July 2016. Environmental review process was completed in July 2017. The Gateway Development Corporation is seeking entry into Engineering along with approval of a FFGA in 2018. The $1.56 billion cost would be comprised of $772 million New Starts, $119 million Federal Highway Administration Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality dollars transferred to FTA and $682 million in local dollars. Completing both final design and engineering along with approval of a FFGA within 12 months appears overly optimistic. This is based upon past history of other New Starts projects. Final design and engineering completion in 2019 with an approved FFGA assuming funding availability in 2020 is more realistic.
NJ Transit, on behalf of the Gateway Development Corporation for the full $29 billion Gateway Tunnel project, is managing the environmental review process. This began with publication of a draft Environmental Impact Statement in June 2017. NJ Transit anticipates completion of the environmental review process in March 2018. This would be followed by permission to enter the Engineering phase by June 2018 with approval of a FFGA in early 2019. The total $13.6 billion funding package would be made up by $6.7 billion New Starts, $3.6 in Federal Rail Road Administration Rehabilitation and Improvement loans and $3.1 billion in Port Authority and other sources including "project revenues." This FFGA schedule is known as "Fast Tracking" in the transit industry and is overly optimistic. Completion of final design and engineering may require two or more years resulting in a 2020 date. Approval of a FFGA assuming there are available dollars in 2021 is more realistic. This FFGA would have to be amended at a later date for funding the remaining $14 billion balance of work to pay for the full $29 billion Gateway Tunnel project.
The Gateway Development Corporation case for fully funding the Gateway tunnel is hurt by the lack of significant local dollars from both New York & New Jersey. NY Governor Cuomo $1.75 billion loan from the Federal Rail Road Administration has not been approved. It would have to be paid back by annual debt service payments. NJ Governor Murphy $1.9 billion loan has also not been approved. It would be paid back by a surcharge on riders fares starting in 2021 and ending in 2038. The only real local funding is $1.9 billion provided by the Port Authority. Murphy should use the New Jersey Transportation Trust fund for his share. Cuomo should program funding in his proposed $168 billion 2018 – 2019 budget. The MTA East Side Access FFGA in 2006 provided $2.63 billion in federal funding .
It remains the largest in FTA New Starts history. The odds of a $6.7 billion FFGA for this second phase of Gateway Tunnel are slim. This amount would exceed the total annual authorization and appropriation by Congress and the President for the full national program.
It is interesting that Governors Murphy, Cuomo and the Gateway Development Corporation no longer emphasis the total Gateway Tunnel $29 billion project. They appear to be concentrating on the Portal Bridge and new Hudson River Tunnels portions rather than the full scope and cost of work.
The FTA has made clear they are not enthusiastic about accepting other federal dollars under its New Starts program local share financing requirements. They appear to view this as double dipping using Federal Rail Road Administration funding toward local share to obtain additional dollars from the FTA.
Contrast the Gateway Tunnel project with MTA Second Avenue Subway Phase Two. The MTA completed the environmental review process for all four phases of Second Avenue Subway in 2004. They expect to complete an environmental update in early 2018. The project would then enter the Engineering phase in late 2018 and receive a FFGA in 2020. This schedule is also known as "Fast Tracking" in the transit industry and is overly optimistic. Completion of the environmental process may not occur until late 2018. Completion of final design and engineering may require two to three more years. Approval of a FFGA assuming funding availability in 2021 is more realistic.
The MTA has approved $1,735 billion to support preliminary environmental, design, engineering and utility relocation work for Phase Two north from 96th Street to 125th Street. There is still the need of $4.265 billion in total funding for actual construction of Phase 2. The MTA has to find $2.265 billion in local dollars in the next MTA Five Year 2020 – 2024 Capital Program. This would bring the total local funding commitment up to $4 billion. This is necessary for the MTA to count on any chance of the FTA New Starts program providing $2 billion in additional federal funding for a total of $6 billion. The MTA local share is not dependent on other federal loans, provides more real local dollars and is significantly higher than those supporting the Gateway Tunnel project.
At the transportation funding project Olympics, bet on the following results. Portal Bridge will win Gold, Second Avenue Subway Phase Two will get Silver and Hudson River Tunnels Phase Two may show Bronze. NYCDOT's Woodhaven Blvd Bus Rapid Transit project at $231 million with a $97 million federal share will be lucky to come in fourth. This may be dependent on any crumbs left over from the New Starts program table after these three and other national projects are funded first.
This report is available on the FTA public website under New Starts. It makes interesting reading for those who wish to have a better understanding of how this federal process works for funding potential projects. You can learn about current status, schedule and budget for these and other competing projects from 48 other states and transit agencies.

01 July 2019: This summer, Pandora celebrates Disney's "The Lion King," directed by Jon Favreau, with the new Disney x Pandora jewellery collection. Launching in July 2019, the collection welcomes the beloved characters back to the big screen with distinctive pieces designed to give you a way to showcase yourfond connection to the classic story.
Created to encourage everyone to let their style roar, the beautiful film -inspired collection features a bracelet and selection of silver and Pandora Shine charms, including a stunning limited edition Simba carm. Designed to be worn separately or combined to create a truly stunning look, each piece is shaped by the film's breathtaking setting, unforgettable music and the spirit of the characters we fell for 25 years ago.
The collection celebrates the themes reflected in the film: bravery, empowerment, curiosity, strength, wisdom and friendship. Knowing that every piece of jewellery is infused with meaning and memory, Pandora invite you to merge personal style choices with a love of Disney's "The Lion King". Picking and choosing to curate your own signature collection, jewellery is used as a form of self-expression to shine a light on your individual choices.
Favreau brings the iconic characters to life in a whole new way this summer in Disney's "The Lion King." The movie journeys to the African savanna where a future king is born. Simba idolises his father, King Mufasa, and takes to heart his own royal destiny. But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub's arrival. Scar, Mufasa's brother –and former heir to the throne – has plans of his own. The battle for Pride Rock is ravaged with betrayal, tragedy and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba's exile. With help from a curious pair of newfound friends, as well as his long-time friend and ally Nala, Simba will have to figure out how to grow up and take back what is rightfully his.
Utilising pioneering filmmaking techniques to bring treasured characters to life, Disney's "The Lion King" opens in theatres on July 19th, 2019. The all-star cast includes Donald Glover as Simba, Seth Rogen as Pumbaa, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, Billy Eichner as Timon, with Beyoncé Knowles-Carter as Nala and James Earl Jones as Mufasa.

From Willow's Song to Island – A Gem From The Wicker Man Soundtrack
The Wicker Man (1973) is one of the creepiest films ever made. Horror legend, Sir Christopher Lee, considered the film to be his personal best. And few horror films have an ending quite as haunting.
The soundtrack, by Paul Giovanni, is a brilliant, dark, folky, renaissance-fair sounding collection of songs that help turn the scare factor up to eleven. Each song has a melancholic, ancient quality, that is almost as spooky and unsettling as the film itself.
The true standout gem is "Willow's Song." Originally performed in the film by Magnet (a group of musicians assembled by Giovanni and Gary Carpenter) and sung by Rachel Verney (Britt Ekland's singing voice). The song appears in the film as Britt Ekland's character, Willow MacGregor, is dancing alone, naked in her room, whilst seducing the very-Catholic, Sgt. Neil Howie (Edward Woodward), with her pagan powers.
Here is the original version:
Since the film, the song has taken on a life of its own, spawning covers from Doves, Sneaker Pimps, Nature and Organisation, Faith and Musie, and The Mock Turtles.
The unrivaled version of the song came in 1994 from French band, Autour de Lucie, on their album, L'Échappé belle. The production is absolutely timeless and dreamy. The reverb soaked etherial beauty of Valérie Leulliot's voice will send shivers down your spine.
They completely reinvented the song, lyrics & title included. Their version, called "Island," is slightly less old-school than the original. It tells the tale of a girl getting ready to go out at midnight and a light shining from a window into the darkness. Listen for yourself and see which version you prefer.
Find them both on our Halloween party playlist on Spotify HERE. (Also on this playlist is our new Halloween song, Zombie Love).
PS: Don't both watching the Nicolas Cage remake of the Wicker Man unless you want a good laugh. Happy Halloween!

The hotly anticipated second round of the Irish Tarmac Rally Championship, the Clonakilty Park Hotel West Cork Rally takes place this coming weekend. A bumper entry has been received with no less than 23 R5 cars at the head of the field in what should be a superb battle. Donagh Kelly has won the event for the past five years, but although carrying number one on the door, the 2015 Tarmac Champion will find the going very tough as he gives his new Skoda Fabia R5 its debut. Conor Foley will co-drive for Donagh as usual. Carrying number two on the door but likely to run first on the road due to FIA priority seeding is Waterfords Craig Breen wit Paul Nagle co-driving. The pair will compete in a Ford Fiesta R5 and although its Craigs first time competing in West Cork, Paul is a twice winner of the event on 2004 & 2008. Third seed is the reigning Tarmac Champion as Josh Moffett looks to improve on the runner up position he has taken on the event over the past two year. Josh has Keith Moriarty on the pacenotes this year.

Clonakilty on St. Patrick's weekend is the place to be with the Clonakilty Park Hotel West Cork Rally attracting a stunning entry of over 200 cars across all categories. The rally which is the second round of the Irish Tarmac Rally Championship and the British Rally Championship as well as the opening round of PlasticBags.ie Southern 4 Rally Championship & FIA Celtic Trophy has 160 cars in the main field, although entries are still being accepted. Top seeds are Donagh Kelly & Conor Foley who will be giving their new Skoda Fabia R5 its debut and the five time winner will face his strongest competition since first competing in West Cork in 2014. Craig Breen has never competed in West Cork before, but having two time winner Paul Nagle on the notes will be a help to the Waterford driver who leads the Tarmac Championship after round 1 and will be pushing hard to make it two in a row. 2018 Tarmac Champion Josh Moffett at three has been runner up on the event for the past two years and will certainly be fired up to go one better this year.

Nobody Told Me That: Annual Town Meeting
When is Wilton's Annual Town Meeting and budget vote this year?
Wilton's Annual Town Meeting is on Tuesday, May 3, at 7:30 p.m. at the Wilton High School Clune Center. Machine voting on the town budget and two proposed bonding questions will take place immediately following that meeting in the auditorium. For those unable to attend the meeting, voting will continue on Saturday, May 7, at the Wilton High School Clune Center from 9 to 6.
What's on the Annual Town Meeting ballot?
This year the ballot includes one question about the annual budget and two bonding questions: road restoration and stadium turf replacement. The registrars of voters page on wiltonct.org contains a link to the sample ballot. Budget information is also on the town website, including the proposed 2017 budget and a list of videos pertaining to the budget. The Wilton Board of Education budget may be viewed online at wilton.k12.ct.us. This year's Annual Town Meeting will be broadcast on Wilton's Government Access Channel (Ch.79) and on the town website on May 4.
Will the Annual Town Meeting represent the wishes of town residents?
That depends on voter turnout. If voters choose not to attend the Annual Town Meeting, they are allowing others to speak for them. Voters are allowed to make motions at the Town Meeting to decrease a budget line item but not to increase it. Voters in the auditorium that night may vote on such motions which might change the proposed budget. In 2015, only 11.5% of eligible voters participated in the two-day budget voting. According to Wilton's charter, the proposed budget automatically passes if voter turnout is less than 15%. Bonding questions are passed by a majority of those voting.
Who is eligible to vote at the Annual Town Meeting?
The following people may vote:
- All registered voters, regardless of whether they own property in town.
- All U.S. citizens, resident and nonresident, liable to the Town of Wilton for taxes on real estate property — or a motor vehicle — with an assessment of at least $1,000 on the Oct. 1, 2015 grand list.
If you have purchased property in Wilton after Oct. 1, 2015, your name will not appear on this grand list. In that case, you must be a registered voter in order to cast a ballot at the Annual Town Meeting. In all cases, you must be a U.S. citizen to vote and at least 18 years old.
You may register to vote online if you have a valid Connecticut driver's license. Go to the secretary of the state's website at https://voterregistration.ct.gov to register to vote online. You may also:
- Register to vote at the Wilton Town Hall, Monday through Friday, from 8:30 to 4:30;
- Download a voter registration application from wiltonct.org;
- Call the registrars for information at 203-563-0111.
Absentee ballots will be available from the town clerk at the Wilton Town Hall beginning Wednesday, May 4, through Friday, May 6, from 8:30 to 4:30. All absentee ballots must be returned to the town clerk's office by 4:30 p.m. on Friday, May 6.

The people working at my local post office are getting pissed at me nowadays because I come in with 10+ packages to get scanned at a time and when they ask me for a scan sheet, all I can really say is "sorry my platform doesn't offer one". As a software developer myself, it seems like this is a simple enough feature request and required by so many users as a necessary one that I don't understand why Shopify doesn't just bake this in rather than pointing people to third party apps. Please please please add this functionality!
Hi, @phozee!
My name is Rae and I work for Shopify. Thank you for reaching out with this feedback, and welcome to the Shopify Community.
We really appreciate you sharing these details about your experience with shipping out your orders. I understand how having a scan sheet would streamline and improve this process for your business, so I would really like to share your thoughts and your specific feedback with our developers. Our teams are always working to build and improve our platform, so this type of information is really helpful for us to receive.
I will share this information with our teams today, and hopefully they can look into the possibility of offering this addition to our platform in the future. If our teams do release this feature, we will share this information on our changelog and also on our Announcements page to ensure that our merchants are kept in the loop.
Please let me know if you have any other feature requests, or if any other questions or concerns arise, and I'll be glad to help out further.
Thank you again for sharing this feedback!
I might be a little late on this thread, but I wanted to give you all a head's up in case you're still struggling with this... I have been searching for the same solution for quite some time, and have been pretty disappointed to see that only paid app options are available through Shopify. I'm with all of you in that this is a BASIC functionality that shouldn't require us to pay an outside app developer a monthly fee to be able to print a sheet of paper. But I digress...
Just now, I found that PirateShip (https://apps.shopify.com/pirate-ship) links with your shopify store and makes it easy to create the SCAN forms. They have the same rates as Shopify, but they don't charge to use the service. I am just getting my shop up and running so I haven't had to process a TON of orders, but I wanted to let you all know about this option! Hope it helps someone else looking around for this!!
Hi, @clownholeclown!
Thank you for reaching out to inquire further about this.
We're still accepting feedback on this request, and I can certainly submit another piece of feedback to our teams regarding this on your behalf. If we have any updates to share on this, we will post these on our changelog and our Announcements page, so please make sure to keep an eye out there.
If any other Community members would like to submit feedback on this as well, please reply to me here with your .myshopify.com URL. Once I submit your feedback, I will 'like' your post to indicate that your thoughts have been shared with our teams.
This is seriously ridiculous.
Shopify doesn't provide so many of the items that our 15 year old eCommerce platform used to. The only reason we switched to Shopify was that we heard all these great things about its functionality and its SEO features, and then we discovered we had to buy apps to get any of them.
Having used it for a year, I feel like it is sadly lacking in the basics and their team is more focused on creating bells and whistles that they can tout to the media than actually listening to their eCommerce customers about what they truly need to run a successful business.
They are spending more time right now on press shouting about the fact that they are a solution for enterprise customers who want to move their business online, than supporting the needs of their current customers.
I'm tired of being told there's an app for that. Why should I have to pay $50 a month every time I need some functionality that should be built in to a basic eCommerce platform.
An end of day scan sheet is necessary functionality. A pick and pack list is another. I could create a list of at least twenty items that are necessary and we need right now, but I don't have any sense that anyone at Shopify would listen to a word I have to say.
Every time I call support the answer I get is "Oh, nobody has ever asked for that".
Maybe they could try asking their customers, instead of developing in a vacuum. Has anyone here ever even received a survey about their Shopify experience or the items they need to be successful? We certainly haven't.
If you can't already tell, yes, we are actively looking at other solutions. We're on track to double our revenue this year, and frankly at this point Shopify is just slowing us down.
Totally agree, Matt.
Those items are on our functionality list also. And we have also had exactly the same experience using Shopify Apps that are supposedly approved in the APP store. Half of them don't work and we have to remove them and pay a developer to clean things up after they have screwed up the coding on our theme.
And what's with the arbitrary "You can only create 20 packing lists at a time"? And why do I have to go to create a label before I create a packing list?
It wouldn't be that hard to let me print packing lists from the first screen of orders. If you're going to show me 50 why cant I select all and create packing lists for all? Even better, why cant I just create a pick and pack list from there?
Shopify is talking so much about how they are helping small businesses get online during this Coronavirus crisis, when in reality their functionality only really works for micro businesses, or business who sell 30 - 40 items a month, not businesses that sell 200+ items a day.
USPS doesn't want to pick up from businesses with more than 35 orders that don't provide a scan sheet. That means the business has to take their parcels to a local post office and have them scanned there.
How many small businesses want to expose their team to that now that we're all try to shelter in place?
Thanks Shopify for NOT supporting small businesses that are still active and trying to provide employment for their teams while maintaining their safety.

Moving into an apartment can be daunting. There are so many restrictions and guidelines when renting, it can be difficult to make the space your own. Having recently moved into my first apartment, I discovered some basic concepts that made the pro-cess go smoothly. Here are the three key things to keep in mind when designing your first apartment!
Before you make any serious changes to your space, make sure everything is clean and in its proper place. Having clutter is never cute! Begin implementing any storage ideas you have and don't be afraid to get creative. Keeping clutter out of sight will not only make your space look better, but will reduce chaos and stress in your personal life.
When you're in a small space, working with what you have is key! Working upward, rather than outward can give you the best use of every square inch. This vertical two-tier laundry hamper from Neat Freak has two collapsible laundry hampers supplied with EVERFRESH probiotic technology, which
reduces and controls odour naturally (1). It also can be tucked away between dressers or in small corners in your space.
Bonus: By working upward, you double your storage capacity and make your space appear bigger!
No that you've cleaned your place, it's time to make it your own. Unfortunately, apartments tend to be a little bland, especially when you have renovation restrictions from renting. Often times, ripping up flooring and repainting aren't options, but don't let this discourage you. There are so many great alternatives!
When moving into my apartment, the thing that was furthest from my ideal space was the bright orangey-yellow parquet flooring my apartment came with. Rather than accepting my flooring fate, I laid down glue-less vinyl flooring on top of my previous floors. Yes, I said GLUE-LESS. Spend a day laying down the flooring and watch your space transform before your eyes. If you don't have the budget for new flooring, opt for a large carpet that covers as much dull flooring as you like.
I'm sure you've heard it before, but your home is your sanctuary. When you come home after a long day of work, there's nothing better than relaxing in your personal space that you have designed for you! Load up on soft blankets, beautiful smelling candles and fluffy pillows for your tranquil space.
To tie everything together, I believe every home needs that ultimate piece that can take your space from drab to fab. For me, that was this beautiful Sophia Media Console Electric Fireplace from Dimplex. Nothing gives homey vibes like a beautiful, cozy fireplace. Adding a fireplace can transform your apartment from an impersonal rental space to your own relaxing home. This fireplace from Dimplex doubles as a media console for my TV, and provides extra storage space on the sides!
Moving into a new space doesn't have to be stressful. Use this opportunity to revamp your life and create a space you'll always love… or at least for as long as you plan on renting!

During the Revolutionary War, George Washington took an unusual step for a leader: he relinquished knowledge of much of the inner workings of what would become America's first spy network, the Culper Spy Ring, to the experts he identified and put in charge. It was 1778, and the British were occupying New York City. Washington requested that Benjamin Tallmadge establish a network of spies that infiltrated the British base of operations, providing valuable information. Tallmadge, and those closest to him, Abraham Woodhull and Robert Townsend, among others, surreptitiously gathered and disseminated information through their connections, providing advance notice of British plans and activities that allowed Washington's troops to thwart plans on more than one occasion.
Arguably, George Washington is considered one of the greatest leaders in American history. Certainly his efforts during the War for Independence, and subsequent title as President, are significant achievements warranting recognition. So how could he allow something as sensitive as the subversive activities of the enemy be monitored by a ragtag bunch of folks in New York?
Easy. Washington believed in Project Based Investigation. He went to his expert, Major Tallmadge, and allowed him to work to create a network that recognized and understood the importance of secrecy, and who fought hard to protect their identities as they worked tirelessly for more than four years -- and their efforts weren't really revealed to the public until the 1930s.
Spy stories are great. The story of the Culper Spy Ring is the almost unbelievable - especially considering the fact that more than a century passed before their work was recognized by the American public. Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi would certainly identify the reason behind the success of the Culper gang as "intrinsic motivation." They clearly owned what they were doing, and were motivated to continue for the sake of the project and themselves -- as their work was largely unrecognized by any extrinsic power.
I first became aware of this bit of history when my student, Amelia, brought the story to me as her topic for National History Day this year. I watched her explore the Leadership and Legacy of George Washington and Benjamin Tallmadge, and dig deep into the primary sources of this project, eventually leading to a phone conversation with an internationally-known expert on the topic. For Amelia, it was one of the most exciting projects she's ever done. For me, it was one of the most humbling experiences, as she worked to uncover the story, and teach me what she'd learned, instead of the other way around.
Grab the buntings and flags, my friends. Put away the lecterns and lecture notes. Search, or help students search, for their passions, and let them go undercover, for the sake of the cause.
What cause, you ask? Why, Independence, of course! Student Independence!

Frequently Asked Questions
Before You Buy
You should only use video converters and extenders if it is absolutely necessary to do so. In many cases, most video converters and extenders are not necessary if you purchase the correct cable.
The following table lists the maximum length of cable for common video standards.
|Video standard
|Maximum length
|50 ft. (15.2m)
|50 ft. (15.2m)
|50 ft. (15.2m)
|200 ft. (71m)
Note: StarTech.com offers cables longer than what is listed above, including active cables, which typically include built-in active signal boosters that allow for longer cables. Active cables are specifically designed to exceed the suggested maximum lengths and are tested at the listed specifications (for example, the maximum listed resolution).
Video adapters
Video adapters passively adapt a cable from one connector type to another. Video adapters do not change the signal type, or change the video standard.
Examples of common applications for adapters include the following:
DVI-I to VGA
RCA to BNC
Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort
Couplers (female to female, or male to male)
Note: You can use a coupler to extend a cable for a short distance. However, each coupler that you use can introduce signal loss, which degrades the signal quality.
Video converters
Video converters actively process and change the signal type from one video standard and convert it to another standard. They are typically used to convert digital to analog and vice versa, but can be used to convert a digital signal to another digital video standard (for example, HDMI to DisplayPort).
Video converters work over short distances from the source to the destination: up to 15 feet or 3 meters.
Video extenders
Video extenders convert an input signal to a higher voltage for transmission over longer distances and then convert the input signal back to the original video standard. The input and the output signal will match on a video extender, as the same video standard is maintained end-to-end. If a cable is extended with adapters or converters, the signal quality degrades.
Note: For more information on using a video adapter or converter with a video extender, see the following FAQ: http://www.startech.com/faq/video_signal_converters_convert_then_extend.

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) issued a preliminary recommendation against PSA based screening for prostate cancer in October 2011. Their "D" recommendation discourages the use of screening in all men. Opinions expressed in the media ranged from outrage and disappointment to exuberant celebrations of the possible end of PSA screening in a fashion befitting the death of a tyrant. Terms such as 'welcomed", "long overdue","faith-based" or "profit-based practice of medicine" were used. Accusations of prostate cancer screening "conspiracies", "profiteering" and "media manipulation" were made by well-known influential medical editors. One on-line medical editor called the PSA test "nefarious" while the editor of a well-known text blogged that "D" is for "do nothing" and "screening for prostate cancer leads to worse outcomes and always has".
Both sides in this important public health issue should have the opportunity to select their data to argue for the benefits or the harms. However, when the rhetoric by some becomes so vitriolic against PSA screening, the use of such accusatory and incriminating language has no place in the discourse of a major health issue.
The disciplines that manage prostate cancer have been struggling with the best approach to the second leading cause of cancer death in men. To abandon PSA testing in all men will move us back to the days when prostate cancer usually presented with symptomatic, advanced disease. While we know that the PSA test is far from perfect, the USPSTF draft did not acknowledge the evidence that PSAbased testing leads to diagnosis of earlier stage and potentially more curable disease.
The task force, by design, is composed of primary care providers, including gynecologists, and was chaired by a pediatrician. This uniform USPSTF approach does bring some objectivity that is needed in these deliberations. However, it disconnects a much larger body of the peer reviewed literature from the practical needs of the physicians and their unique patients they care for on a daily basis. Participation of some specialists in the topic under study should comprise part of the USPSTF panel's deliberations to improve its credibility. The "one size fits all" evidence based medicine movement is central to the USPSTF mission. Consider this: would you endorse a panel's recommendations on the management of newborn heart disease composed of urologists, radiation oncologists and medical oncologists who cite less than 50 articles on the topic?
The two major prostate cancer screening trials, one positive and one negative, weighed heavily in the recommendation. The 25% reduction in metastatic disease and a 20% reduction in mortality are noted by the panel as "minor". The fact that almost 50% of the men in the negative trial had a PSA outside of the study that compromised its results was acknowledged but not important in the panel's recommendations. Further analysis of the "negative" PLCO data shows that in younger men with minimal or no comorbidity, there was significant reduction of prostate cancer death.
The evolution of the "thoughtful use" of PSA based screening to optimize the utility of the only test we have to identify men at risk for prostate cancer, as suggested by the American Urological Association, defines the next phase in screening for prostate cancer. Until new markers are available, PSA is the best we have. The panel's 2008 prostate cancer statistics reflect the earliest approaches to PSA based screening from the mid 1990s. They minimized the current screening focus on men with a 10 year life expectancy and failed to emphasize the growth of active surveillance. The challenge today is overtreatment and not overdiagnosis of prostate cancer.
Consider the implications of the USPSTF recommendations as a government sponsored panel empowered in the era of healthcare reform. The USPSTF assigns one of five letter grades to each of its recommendations (A, B, C, D, or I). The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act mandates that A or B recommendations must be covered. The USPSTF disclaimer states: "...clinical decisions involve more considerations than evidence alone. Clinicians should understand the evidence but individualize decision making to the specific patient or situation". A final "D" will take any individualized decision for or against PSA screening out of this equation as the service might not be covered by carriers.
Based on other recent controversial recommendations, the USPSTF now makes preliminary reports open to public comment before the final recommendations. One can only hope that appropriate, balanced and thoughtful comments will be made and the reports of the death of PSA based screening will be premature when the task force issues its final report.

Download Radio Friendly Unit Shifter Here.
McCain's running for President; there's a war in Iraq, and Russian aggression is inspiring a resurrection of NATO. It's the Nineties, baby, and our subway hero, Nick Catchdubs, and crew have released the soundtrack to our de ja vu. It's the Radio Friendly Unit Shifter, Catchdubs and Ducker's ultimate Nineties Mixtape courtesy of MishkaNYC. Catchdubs himself with this mission statement:
My good friend Mr. Ducker isn't a DJ, but he always wanted to make an ultimate '90s tape, something that brought a mixshow vibe to alt nation sounds. When he asked me to get down with his dream and collaborate, we delved deep into our middle and high school record collections (and used CD bargain bins) and brainstormed new ways to present all the alternative music we grew up on. We were inspired by DJ Spinbad's impossibly fun '80s pop mixes: big hits next to unexpected favorites with lots of movie dialogue and interludes for jokes, all smashed up in a dance party megamixxx. Picking from hundreds of beloved Buzz Bin jams was easier said than done (sorry Superdrag, you'll make Vol. 2!), but with the Mishka crew's annual trip to Magic in Las Vegas giving us an actual deadline, we finally finished this badmotorfinger as a giveaway CD for their new season. Even with double digit-old tunes, Radio Friendly Unit Shifter feels right on time, connecting the dots between Sonic Youth breakbeats, weeded Lollapalooza rap, gloriously fuzzed-out one hit wonders and much more. No irony, no empty nostalgia, just a lot of music we love that shaped what we do today. They used to play King Missile on the radio! In America! Download and enjoy. – Nick Catchdubs
Like Omar said, Indeed.

Protectionist measures like tariffs and trade wars threaten to undermine global economic growth and limit oil demand, the major oil organisations wrote this week in thinly veiled swipes at US president Trump's recent trade manoeuvres.
In its monthly update, the International Energy Agency noted strong growth in global trade to 4.7% in 2017, from just 2.5% the previous year, saying this likely explains a robust 1.8% increase in global gasoil demand in 2017.
Opec this week also said global economic growth "has recovered significantly" and is now forecast at 3.8% this year. "Given the improvements in economic activity across the world, oil demand will be well supported in 2018."
But both see a major potential obstacle ahead in the shape of Trump's increasingly assertive efforts to recalibrate US trading conditions with other nations.
Echoing wider fears in the energy industry over the impact of aluminium and steel tariffs, the IEA said, "recent signs of protectionism from the US are a risk to the forecast, raising the possibility of a global trade war". It added that a slowdown would have "strong consequences" for the oil market, particularly for fuel used in the maritime sector and in the trucking industry.
Opec said that "the most recent trade-related developments may provide challenges to the growth momentum as global trade has been an important factor contributing to the world economy". It also said that Trump's tariffs, and the potential consequences of the US fiscal stimulus on the nation's debt, may dampen growth momentum.
In past trade wars, oil consumption has been an early victim as global commerce stagnates, something that would be a bitter blow to Opec's re-balancing efforts.
The IEA slightly raised its forecast for oil demand this year to 99.3m barrels per day from 97.8m b/d in 2017. Noting that provisional data suggest strong starts to the year in China and India, the agency predicts a small build in stocks in Q1 and then draws for the rest of the year. "Market re-balancing is clearly moving ahead with key indicators—supply and demand are becoming more closely aligned."

Everywhere you turn, there are lists and statistics. Any business, any sport, any hobby - we will try to categorize who is the best at some component of that endeavor. It's part human nature and part technology, since we have been conditioned to have access to answers and trivial problems at our fingertips.
Don't believe me? Think of the last few searches you did online AND how you applied that knowledge, once learned.
To paraphrase the great Vince Lombardi, what does it mean to be number one?
To deviate from the great Vince Lombardi, nothing.
There is always going to be someone more successful, richer, better looking, or with a nicer car.
You cannot build a company or manage a life by chasing others, you have to find your success competing against yourself. There will always be a bigger fish. Your success has to be measured against yourself - a decade ago, last year, or yesterday. Several years ago, I met a young man who understood this component of business very well and every evening, as he got into his car to leave his office, placed a "+" or a "-" in his daytimer, depending on how he felt his day had gone.
It was far from scientific and most assuredly not objective, but he would review those positives and negatives each month and then, rate that month. His goal? He demanded that each week, then month, then year, show more positives than negatives. The whole purpose was to understand how he approached his own entrepreneurship, not someone else's version.
Did he ever end up on someone's Top Ten? Well, to tell the truth, he did. He has continued to be quite successful, but to visit his office, you would never know it. His biggest competition is the man that looks back from him in the mirror each morning as he shaves and despite his financial successes, he competes against something that many entrepreneurs fail to account for.
His potential.
Each of us has plenty of potential, but not enough of us strive to fulfill all of it. We can look back at the lives of men like Steve Jobs or Ray Kroc and discuss how they put their respective companies and industries on the map, but, had those men gone into any other business, their potential remains the same. Imagine Steve Jobs as an attorney? Ray Kroc as a military man?
Their actions, habits, and mental prowess would still afford them success since they sought to wrest every bit of their potential - and that of their chosen industries - out of each action. THIS is the important part of the point I'm trying to make here - your "expertise" (whatever it is) is no match for the mental acuity you can apply to the enterprise you seek to build. An accountant can design a software package, a restaurant owner can become a sales trainer. In any case, your success is not a condition of your experience or training, but rather a condition of how well you seek to learn how to provide a solution to a problem.
Certainly, as an expert in a chosen field, you can be more aware of issues within that field, but as a person, you experience life the same way that countless millions do every day as well. After all, rain falls on everyone, not just the inventor of the umbrella.
Quit chasing others and concentrate instead on consuming every bit of the potential that you have been given and the names on the lists will inevitably include you!
