This hilarious 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' "review" is taking the internet by storm
The fun is strong with this one
At last: the wait is nearly over.
Two long years have passed since the Star Wars franchise was spectacularly rebooted with Episode VII: The Force Awakens and, while last Christmas gave us the excellent Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, fans have been champing at the bit for the continuation of the main saga.
Episode VIII: The Last Jedi hits cinemas this Friday (15 December) with fans eagerly snapping up tickets for midnight viewings and the like, desperate to watch it as soon as they can. However, many lucky individuals - media reviewers and the like - have been able to see the film early and, unable to resist have been posting spoilerific tweets and statuses.
This is absolutely not cool. Don't ruin it for the real fans.
And so, when a tweet by Daniel Carlson appeared on many people's timelines entitled 'Thoughts on THE LAST JEDI', the immediate reaction was one of annoyance. But then… hold on, can this be right?
Carlson lists his critical thoughts on the film which, to be fair, shows that Disney is really trying to do something different this time around.
- way more nudity than expected
- smart idea to do it all as a rap
- Charlie Sheen totally holds his own
- Adam Driver's love ballad felt awkward
- didn't like the 22-minute Olaf short
- Smash Mouth's "All Star" was a bold end-credits choice
And it turns out that these aren't the only surprises in the The Last Jedi.
Ah, such fun.
But… what if… what if Daniel's not lying?
Can't wait for Episode IX, featuring a hologramatic Keith Chegwin playing R2-D2's long-lost human brother.

celebrity cult looming
With the ever growing cult of celebrity looming large among us, the Central Illustration Agency, in conjunction with its US affiliate Bernstein and Adriulli, has commissioned 72 illustrators for their visual views on the theme. Illustrators from countries including Italy, Germany, Japan, the US and Britain responded to the brief with a variety of ideas ranging from 'the literal to the lateral, scathing to celebratory', says a CIA spokeswoman. The 'tongue-in-cheek' work (from left to right: Donny Miller, Jessie Ford and Louisa St Pierre) will be on show at the Alphabet Bar on London's Beak Street from 11 September. Postcard packs will be for sale for £7.50, with proceeds going to the Red Cross.

What Is a FICO Score?
You might have heard the term FICO Score — whether in a credit card commercial, on an account statement or when applying for credit — and wondered about it.
So what is a FICO Score? Knowing the answer can help you build credit so that you can get access to loans and credit cards when you need them. Here's what you should know about your FICO Score.
What is a FICO Score?
A FICO Score is one of many types of credit scores, which are three-digit numbers that summarize your credit history, management and behavior. Your FICO Score is the credit score generated by Fair Isaac Corp. (FICO), a leading financial analytics company. FICO Scores range from 300 to 850.
Here's how credit scores, including FICO Scores, are generated and used:
- Credit reporting agencies collect your credit data. Banks, lenders and other financial service providers report your borrowing and repayment behavior to credit reporting agencies: for example, when you take out a loan and whether you make on-time payments. The big three credit bureaus are Experian, Equifax and TransUnion, which track and compile your credit history into your credit report.
- Information on your credit report is scored. The data on your credit reports are run through a credit score formula that analyzes and scores your credit history. These credit scoring models estimate the risk of lending to you, or how likely you are to repay a debt on time (or fail to do so).
- Lenders will access your credit reports and scores. They will then use this information to decide whether to approve you for a product. Many lenders will also use your credit score to set costs, reserving their best rates or lowest fees for consumers with higher scores.
Why does my FICO Score matter?
A FICO Score isn't your only credit score — consumers can have many different scores from different scoring companies, models and reports. Two of the credit reporting agencies, TransUnion and Equifax, have their own credit scoring models. The other major bureau, Experian, uses the VantageScore model.
Your FICO Scores are used the most. Although there are many different credit scores out there, FICO Scores are the most popular. They are used by 90% of lenders, according to FICO's site. If you're applying for a loan, it's likely (but not guaranteed) that the credit score the lender will rely on will be a FICO Score.
You don't have just one FICO Score, either. FICO has built several versions of its credit scoring model. FICO Score 8 is the most commonly used model, but there are more recent versions including FICO Score 9 and UltraFICO. FICO also has several other credit score models designed for specific products, including scores specifically for credit card, auto and mortgage lending.
For each FICO model, you'll have three scores. That is, one score for each credit report as compiled by the three major credit bureaus. So your FICO Score 8 for your Experian report, for example, could be a different number than how the FICO Score 8 would score your Equifax report. If there is a discrepancy, that could be a sign that the information listed in one report differs from what's in another.
How is my FICO Score determined?
Your FICO Scores do matter, especially if you're planning to open a new credit account in the coming months. Fortunately, each of your FICO Scores is based on the same general blueprint. What improves one FICO Score is likely to improve your others, too.
Here's a breakdown of how your credit report information is weighted by the FICO Score model, from myFICO:
Payment history: 35%
The biggest factor in determining your FICO Score is your payment history on all credit accounts listed on your report. Specifically, it will view on-time payments positively.
Late payments, delinquencies, overdue accounts or accounts sold to collection agencies will be viewed negatively.
Amounts owed: 30%
High debt balances aren't inherently negative, and some types of debt will affect this more than others. While amounts owed on installment loans are considered, your score might be affected more by your use of revolving credit, like credit cards or other lines of credit.
Borrowing high balances relative to your credit limits on these accounts can negatively affect your FICO Score, while keeping balances and credit utilization ratios low can have a positive effect.
Length of credit history: 15%
When scoring the length of your credit history, FICO considers the age of your oldest and newest credit accounts, the average age of all accounts and how recently you've used those accounts.
FICO Scores will favor credit reports that have longer histories of credit accounts on them, so try to establish and maintain your credit accounts over a long period.
Credit mix: 10%
One factor that FICO considers, but gives the least weight to, is your credit mix, or the number and types of accounts listed on your credit reports. Types of credit considered include credit cards, installment loans, retail accounts and mortgages, though you don't need to have all these account types to score well.
Opening and positively maintaining credit cards is important, and having an installment loan listed can also help. But you should avoid borrowing just to improve your credit mix.
New credit: 10%
FICO considers new credit by looking at the most recent activity on your credit reports. Specifically, it will consider recent hard credit inquiries or newly opened accounts, especially if you opened several in a short period.
To score well on new credit, consider how opening accounts can affect your score. Try to avoid hard inquiries when possible, and limit the effect of new accounts by opening one at a time.
How can I see my FICO Score?
If you want to see your FICO Score, the most reliable way to do so is to pay for it. Several credit bureaus offer credit monitoring services that include access to your FICO Score, including Experian and FICO itself. However, these monitoring services can come with a hefty monthly fee upward of $30.
There are other ways to check your FICO Score for free. To start, see if any of your credit accounts provide access to your FICO Score, either listed on your monthly statement or when you view your account online. You can also try Discover's Credit Scorecard — it can show you your free FICO Score, even if you're not a Discover customer.
Don't overlook checking other credit scores, too. Having more information will give you a complete picture of your credit. Sign up for MyLendingTree, for example, and you'll get your free credit score using the VantageScore 3 model.
Does everyone have a FICO Score?
Consumers who have a short credit history or few accounts (four or less) on their credit reports might have a "thin credit file." This is a term for consumers who don't have enough information on their credit reports to generate a credit score, including with the FICO model.
Over 60 million Americans have thin credit files, according to Experian. If you're among that group, you could end up with a poor credit score or unable to be scored by FICO. It will also make it difficult to get approved for new credit, whether it's a credit card or home loan. And if you are approved, your thin credit file makes it more likely that you'll get stuck with high interest rates that will make borrowing more expensive.
How can I improve my FICO Score?
Once you know your FICO Score, you can see if you have a good credit score and start learning how to improve it. If you're new to credit, figure out how to start building a good credit score from scratch. Work on developing habits that will build credit, such as paying on time every month and keeping revolving balances low.
You can also request and review free copies of your credit reports. Check for any errors or mistaken information, and consider disputing credit report errors. You could even consider enlisting a credit repair service to help correct such credit errors.
It can take time to see a positive impact on your FICO Score, but the effort can be worth the payoff when you next need credit.

During the Miss Universe 2016 preliminaries last January 23, at the SM Mall of Asia Arena, Miss Mauritius Kushboo Ramnawaj wore one of the most "meaningful" ensemble.
READ: 12 standout national costumes at Miss Universe 2016
She entered the stage clad in a lava-inspired gown and volcano-shaped train, which paid homage to the origins of her country.
It was designed by Miami-based Filipino designer Kirsten Regalado, and made by students of La Consolacion College in Bacolod City.
Miss Mauritius looked very composed during the presentation, but little did the audience know that she was actually injured.
She was supposed to appear after Miss Malta, but missed a step and fell badly backstage.
It was only after four candidates that the Mauritian beauty queen took her turn to present her costume.
According to Norman's Blog, someone accidentally stepped on the costume's train and caused Kushboo to fall head first onto the floor.
Everyone rushed to her side, including fellow candidates who wore similarly-elaborate costumes.
Blood was trickling down Kushboo's neck, staining the upper half of her gown.
She also had difficulty getting back on her feet.
Backstage officials advised her to skip the presentation, but Kushboo insisted she present her costume.
The reason: she didn't want to put all the efforts of the Filipino students of La Consolacion College to waste.
Kushboo pleaded for her moment on stage and so, after Miss Netherlands, Miss Mauritius entered the stage and showcased the origins of Mauritius and the creativity of Filipinos.
Miss Mauritius successfully made her walk through the entire runway despite the physical pain, and showed what being confidently beautiful was all about.

₹30 lakh - ₹32 lakh
*Ex-showroom price in Delhi
Nissan Leaf • Price, Variants & Specifications
We have heard quite often that the natural resources are depleting, but most of us have not bothered to save them except for few pioneers like Nissan. Nissan has given a sensible shape to the idealistic notions of eco-friendly cars by gifting humanity with Nissan Leaf. Electricity is the fuel for this car in lieu of the fossil fuels. Nissan leaf has a starting price of Rs. 12 lacs which falls well within the budget of Indian families.
Nissan Leaf Variants
Engine & Performance
The horsepower generated by the motor is 107 HP. The car uses an 80 kW AC synchronous motor and outputs 280 Nm of torque. The motor will get ignited with just one push of a small button. Nissan Leaf will offer one with ample feasibility of operation. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery stands for long hours, thus helping one to run a considerably longer distance.
For electric run vehicles the mileage is specified in miles per gallon (MPGe). Nissan Leaf can easily touch the 126 MPGe bar in city driving and 101 MPGe bar in highway driving. Nissan leaf can speed up to 100 km in just 12 seconds.
The aerodynamic design assists Nissan Leaf in achieving maximum speed by consuming minimum power. The charging port has been designed with utmost care to protect the port in case the car dives into mud or water. The wheelbase is big enough to accommodate tires of durable strength. The door handles have chrome finish.
The interior has a volume of 116 cu. Ft. with a seating capacity of 5 persons, the ideal Indian family size. The power steering will move smoothly as per the speed without a need to apply excessive pressure in taking sharp turns. Power doors and power windows further enhance the technicality of Nissan Leaf. The cup holders match well with the leather draping, which can have the color and fabric of one's choice.
Features & Specifications
Carwings Information System used in this car is way beyond anyone's imagination. Carwings smartphone app lets one control the climate inside the car by turning on or off the AC. Also with the help of this app one can find the nearby charging station and the best routes to reach them. Automatic on/off lights also adds uniqueness to Nissan Leaf. Electronic Brake Force Distribution will save the dislocation of brake-disc if the car has to be halted suddenly. The rear spoiler gets charged by solar energy and is photovoltaic in nature.
Comparison to other cars in the same segment
Nissan Leaf is the best one among the technically advanced electric cars launched in India. Nissan Leaf has attracted a lot of attention in the market and the records show that it has more admirers than Mahindra Reva. Mahindra Reva before the launch of Nissan Leaf stood as the sole champion in the market of electricity based vehicles. But Nissan Leaf has pushed Mahindra Reva onto the second position and has proved to be better than Mahindra Reva in all perspectives. Even hatchbacks like Hyundai i20 may lag behind Nissan Leaf when it comes to vehicle control systems.
The chargeable feature of Nissan Leaf at any instant and at any location is quite interesting as well as enticing. Variety is the spice of life and one must go for this unconventionally designed car at least once in his or her lifetime. The results won't be disappointing. The western countries, especially Japan and USA are already ahead of India in welcoming this fabulous car. Now it is our turn to join the bee line to book one Nissan leaf for our very own families.

It's a labor of love for six Minneapolis-based creative professionals who share three common interests: American football, soccer and design. The concept is actually simple… reimagining NFL team logos as European soccer club badges. But we know that's not as easy as it sounds. The very capable (and creative) hands of this design team are pulling it off beautifully. Their goal is to create and release four sets of 32 logos over the course of the American football season. Looking awesome so far, we will continue to follow their progress.

Despite being illegal as a crowd control weapon, eyewitness accounts and a new report by B'Tselem document the Israeli military's increased use of 0.22 caliber live bullets against Palestinians at West Bank protests and clashes.
Photos by: Ryan Rodrick Beiler and Oren Ziv/Activestills.org
Text by: Ryan Rodrick Beiler
Two years ago this week, 15-year-old Palestinian Salih al-Amarin was shot in the head by Israeli forces with live ammunition. He died several days later. Al-Amarin, a resident of Azza Refugee Camp in the West Bank town of Bethlehem, was taking part in clashes with Israeli forces stationed on the separation wall that cuts deep into Bethlehem.
"Those soldiers sitting in their towers behind the wall, are they really in danger?" Bethlehem governor Abdi Fatah Hamayel told Sky News at the time. "There is no excuse to shoot the kids with live bullets."
According to the same report, this and other killings at the time "prompted then Israel's (then) commander of operations in the West Bank, Brig.-Gen. Hagai Mordechai, to call for an immediate review of its rules of engagement."
But in the months and years that followed, use of live ammunition on the streets of Bethlehem and throughout the West Bank only increased — typically 0.22 caliber bullets known as "two-twos" fired from an integrally suppressed (silenced) 10/22 Ruger rifle.
Why the Israeli military uses a silenced rifle as a crowd control weapon is puzzling and counter-intuitive. But as eyewitness to several incidents of their use on the streets of Bethlehem, I can testify that there is absolutely no audible gunshot. As one advertiser of such weapons accurately boasts, from the perspective of the shooter, "the only noise you will hear is the firing pin hitting and then, the 'smack' on the target."
From the perspective of those on the receiving end, the only warnings that these shots have been fired are the sound of the bullet whizzing by and hitting the ground — or the shouts of people hit crying out for help.
Following the shooting and serious injury of 13-year-old Mohammad al-Kurdi one month after al-Amarin's death, Mairav Zonszein reported that such bullets had been "banned by the Israeli Military Advocate General in 2001 as a means for crowd dispersal." A military spokesperson claimed that in al-Kurdi's case they were fired "at the Palestinian 'main inciters' only after makeshift grenades' were hurled at them; standard IDF rules of engagement." Zonszein cited another report claiming that the bullets were "used as a 'last resort,' authorized by a high-ranking officer on the scene."
As an eyewitness to this incident as well, I can state with confidence that no "makeshift grenades" or any other weapon was used that endangered soldiers' lives. Ten minutes after al-Kurdi was shot, civilian visitors to Rachel's Tomb could be seen watching the clashes from inside the walled compound — suggesting that neither they nor the soldiers there to protect them seemed to feel that they were in any immediate mortal danger.
In another incident later that year, a Palestinian youth was shot through both legs above the knee. In that shooting, as I reported at the time:
Israeli forces used no tear gas or rubber-coated bullets. Live ammunition was the first response and not a "last resort." These latest incidents seem to create an emerging pattern that the use of such weapons for crowd-dispersal are not the exception, but are becoming a matter of routine.
In all of these cases, the shots were fired by soldiers from protected positions atop the separation wall that cuts into Bethlehem in order to encircle the Rachel's Tomb holy site. The wall in this area is a frequent flashpoint because of the Israeli presence in the middle of a major Palestinian community, and clashes often erupt in response to Israeli actions elsewhere — such as last summer's offensive against the Gaza Strip, when a teenage friend of mine was shot and injured during such protests.
Arutz Sheva reported last spring that army was considering building a roof over the site to protect visitors. If defense of soldiers and civilians was the actual rationale for firing live ammunition at children, it remains baffling why much simpler methods of protection haven't been implemented while potentially lethal force remains anything but the last resort.
Rather than preventing injury to Israeli soldiers or civilians, this use of live fire — and other potentially lethal crowd control weapons — seems largely punitive. Amnesty International's term for this military mentality: "trigger-happy".
The same day as the shooting of al-Kurdi, Israeli forces fired a shot into the wall atop the building where I and several other observers were watching and photographing the clashes — far away from the action itself. The bullet struck the wall near us — at body level.
In a similar incident more than a year later, a sniper's bullet struck the other side of a garbage bin behind which I and another photographer were standing — on the opposite side of the street from stone-throwers. One can only speculate as to the purpose of these apparent warning shots.
Fast-forward to this week, and coinciding with the second anniversary of the shooting of al-Amarin, Israeli human rights group B'Telem released a report on the increased use of 0.22 caliber bullets:
The firing of this ammunition is an almost weekly occurrence in the West Bank in sites of protests and clashes. Most of those injured have been young Palestinians, including minors. Yet, in the last two months, one Palestinian woman, at least three photographers, and a foreign national who was taking part in a demonstration were also hit by these bullets. … In these instances shots were fired contrary to the strict open-fire regulations that, as a rule, prohibit live fire against stone-throwers. The only exception to this rule cited in the regulations is immediate, mortal danger. Moreover, in several cases, the soldiers intentionally engaged with stone-throwers in order to fire 0.22 bullets at them.
B'Tselem details an incident in Nabi Saleh where some 30 minutes after a demonstration was essentially over, an army sniper entered the built-up area of the village, "for no apparent reason other than provoking the youths into renewing the stone-throwing, as indeed then transpired. The sniper responded by shooting at a Palestinian youth, who was hit in the thigh."
The report also cites recent comments by the current military commander in the West Bank, Brig. Gen. Tamir Yadai, who boasted in a meeting with Israeli settlers:
I won't say we changed the open-fire regulations, but we've taken a slightly [pause] tougher approach with people around here. In places where we used to fire tear-gas or rubber[-coated metal bullets], we now fire Ruger bullets and sometimes live bullets. If I remember the figures correctly, we're at around 25 people hit here in the last three weeks. That's a relatively high figure on any scale.
B'Tselem's report confirms the escalation of the troubling trend that I witnessed on the streets of Bethlehem. Whatever the actual rules of engagement, Israeli military forces on the ground seem to have little trouble finding justifications for their use of potentially lethal force. Nor does there seem to be any effort by the military to bring to justice those who are using such weapons illegally.

text: Kaeser Compressors, Inc. is proud to announce their latest advancement in air treatment technology with Secotec TF dryers. Secotec TF dryers feature Kaeser's innovative Secopack LS thermal storage system. Secotec TF models push the boundaries of compressed air refrigerated dryer performance thanks to a game-changing thermal storage system. Compared to previous designs, these models are more efficient, have lower pressure drop, and a reduced footprint. The extremely efficient Secotec TF units handle flows up from 520 to 1060 cfm. Kaeser's innovative Secopack LS thermal storage system contains a phase-changing material (PCM) that is 98% denser than conventional storage media. Thermal energy is stored as the PCM cycles from a solid to a liquid state. This makes the Secotec TF units up to 60% lighter than other thermal storage dryers. These dryers also include Sigma Control Smart, a micro-processor based controller which controls the thermal storage process. It has an alarm and service message memory, as well as remote on/off control capability. An optional Ethernet interface for connecting to a master control system is also available. The dryers' internal design also makes it possible to reduce pressure loss across the dryer to 2.2 psi (compared to 2.9 and higher for conventional models). Air-cooled and water-cooled versions are available.

I am calling on Hutt City Councillors to fundamentally re-think the SNA (Significant Natural Area) process at their District Plan meeting tomorrow night.
"Councillors need to take a deep breath, pause, and go back to the drawing board on how Significant Natural Areas will be protected in the Hutt. The current process has set the Council against residents, caused enormous stress and anxiety for landowners, and will undermine not enhance good conservation outcomes. A much more preferable approach would be a voluntary process that respects landowners' property rights and actually engages residents in the worthwhile and worthy goals of protecting areas of biodiversity."
"Tomorrow night a large crowd of landowners will speak at the Council meeting about their lack of confidence in the process so far and the proposed next steps. Councillors need to listen to them, not their advisors, and fundamentally re-think how they go about protecting SNAs."
"The suggestion in the Councillors papers that "initial Consultation has been undertaken with affected land owners" is a risible joke. The papers prosaically note that "initial consultation advised landowners of the draft identified areas and values and invited feedback on the areas and on possible District Plan provisions and non-regulatory support measures." In plain English, what actually happened was that around 1500 letters were sent, out of the blue, to residents all around the Hutt telling them parts of their land (often quite sizeable sections) had been identified as containing a "Significant Natural Area".
"Landowners then discovered that restrictions that could potentially be imposed on this land are quite significant - including stopping not only sub-division, vegetation clearance, earthworks, but also possibly vege gardens, playhouses or BBQ patios a few metres from residents' homes. Various meetings with both Councillors and Council officials have inflamed the situation rather than helped things, with confusing commitments made and advice given."
"Nobody doubts that the Council has legal obligations under the RMA to protect significant areas of biodiversity. What is in dispute is the way the Council is going about giving effect to those obligations.
"The Council's approach will undermine good conservation outcomes. Council should be working with not against landowners. Private landowners already do a huge amount to protect our biodiversity. But the council's heavy-handed approach has set the community against them and will have the opposite effect of what is intended – a total own goal."
"Other Councils have undertaken to protect significant natural areas by engaging in good faith with affected landowners, working in conjunction with them, and adopting a voluntary approach."
"That's what the Council should do now."

U.S. stocks are poised for a second consecutive session of gains Tuesday as investors piled back into equity markets as lawmakers in the United States urged President Trump to dial-back his trade war rhetoric and reports that North Korea is willing to accept denuclearization if Kim Jong Un's regime can be guaranteed safety.
Futures contracts tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average were marked 160 points higher from their Monday close in early U.S. trading, indicating an opening bell gain of 165 points, while those linked to the broader S&P 500 were seen 14.5 points, or 0.40%, to the upside following last night's rally on Wall Street that clawed back all of the losses linked to President Donald Trump's suggestion that he's ready to slap a 25% tariff on imported steel and a 10% levy on non-American aluminium.
The North Korea position was detailed by South Korea's special envoy, Chung Eui-yong, to reporters in Seoul Tuesday as the two countries prepare for their first one-to-one summit in more than a decade next month.
Europe's Stoxx 600 index, the region's broadest measure of share prices, gained 0.85% in the opening hour of trading to a near one-week high of 373.99 points as benchmarks around the region rebounded from yesterday's declines as investors found solace in both the coalition government agreement in Germany and the likelihood of a dovish message from the European Central Bank's next policy meeting Thursday in Frankfurt.
Germany's DAX performance index gained more than 1.23% thanks to notable rebounds for Volkswagen AG (VLKAY) , the world's biggest carmaker, which gained 3.9% to €162.00 each. Rival Daimler AG (DMLRY) rose 1.17% to €68.53 while BMW AG (BMWYY) gained 0.99% to €84.79 each. Britain's FTSE 100 rose 0.92% in London as basic resource and energy stocks rose and the pound continue to underperform against both the dollar and the neighbouring euro amid broader concerns over the country's Brexit strategy.
Smurfit Kappa Group Plc (SMFKY) shares were the region's outstanding gainer, rising more than 18.4% in London trading to £30.10 each after the Irish packaging company said it rejected a takeover bid from U.S.-based International Paper Co. (IP) - Get Report that "does not reflect the Group's true intrinsic business worth or its prospects" according to the Dublin-based group.
The global optimism could be tested, however, by a report from Bloomberg news which suggested the European Union has proposed a retaliatory 25% tariff against U.S. steel imports, blue jeans, t-shirts and Harley Davidson Inc. (HOG) - Get Report motorcycles that would collectively hit more than €2.8 billion ($3.5 billion) worth of American goods.
Overnight in Asia, however, investor focus returned to the broader global economy, which continues to grow at a near 4% clip, robust corporate earnings and still-tame inflation, all of which were components that drove markets to the all-time highs reached in late January. Japan's Nikkei 225 benchmark rebounded firmly on Tuesday with a 1.6% gain that took the index to a closing level of 21,417.76 points while the broader MSCI Asia ex-Japan index headed towards the close of trading riding a 1.8% gain.
The U.S. dollar index, a measure of the greenback against a basket of six global currencies, fell 0.23% to 89.77 as benchmark U.S. Treasury note yields edged modestly lower to 2.866% in overnight Asia trading.
Global oil prices extended gains for a fourth consecutive session ahead of today's American Petroleum Institute data on U.S. domestic crude stocks.
Brent crude contracts for May delivery, the global benchmark, were seen 18 cents higher from their Monday closing levels in New York at $65.72 per barrel while WTI contracts for April were marked 15 cents higher at $62.82 per barrel.

327 Bankhead Hwy, Carrollton, GA 30117 WORKERS' COMPENSATION | PERSONAL INJURY | SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY
FEELS LIKE HOME Nancy Takes the Time to Listen
Nancy started as a receptionist with us, being the first point of contact for clients. A few months ago, she moved into a new position as our intake specialist. Congratulations, Nancy! As our intake specialist, Nancy is usually the second person you'll talk to, but her role is just as crucial in reassuring clients that it will all be okay. "My role is to get to know them, ease their worries, and reassure them that they come first, no matter what they're going through. If you don't win, we don't win," Nancy says. "There's a lot to learn, but it's been a great experience." Reflecting on what she loves about working here, Nancy talks about the team she works with and how welcoming and encouraging they were when she first started. "It's easy to get along with everybody here," she says of the team at Smith, Wallis & Scott, "everyone welcomes you like family. You feel safe and at home." It wasn't that long ago that Nancy was new to Georgia. Five years ago, she moved here with her husband, who's a Georgia native. They moved from Kansas, where the military brought them together — Nancy's father served in the military, and her husband does as well. "We met in Kansas and have been together ever since," she says affectionately. After the couple moved to Georgia, Nancy found her new home. "It's one of my favorite places I've lived," she shares. That's no small statement. Growing up in a military family, Nancy got to live in different areas of the United States, including Colorado, Hawaii, and Kansas. Now, Nancy and her husband are enjoying going on adventures in Georgia's beautiful outdoors, hiking and exploring our local state parks. Nancy recently got a new camera, and she likes to appreciate nature through photography as she and her husband explore. We're pretty grateful that love brought Nancy to Georgia, and ultimately, to our team. She is an amazing person to work with, and we know those of you who've interacted with her feel the same way. Thank you, Nancy, and congratulations on your role as our intake specialist! – Smith, Wallis & Scott
Think of the first time you walked into a new business. You didn't know anyone yet, you didn't know what to expect, and maybe you felt a little anxious about what was to come. But when an employee welcomed you with a kind greeting, it made all the difference in how you felt about your experience. The first person you interact with at a company has a big impact on your perspective of it. As one of the first people to interact with our clients at Smith, Wallis & Scott, Nancy Lee knows this fact well. "The first person you come in contact with is very important — they set the tone. People call in with their worries and fears, often saying, 'I don't know what to do.' They feel completely lost." Nancy is there to help people in those moments, guiding them through the process and getting them started on the right footing. "I like interacting with people and sharing a piece of myself with them," Nancy says of her role. "Most people are frantic and don't know what to do. I like that I can bring someone peace and ease of mind," she shares. Nancy adds that it's the emotional relief she's able to give to people in her role that's most gratifying. "Whether we sign them or not, it feels great to have them be one person when they get on the call, and then a completely different, more at-ease person when they've had a conversation with someone who listens."

Crime suspects can no longer be forced to reveal their nationality in a blow to the Government's attempts to speed up the removal of foreign offenders.
Watered-down rules mean that anyone arrested by police or brought to court no longer has to say which country they are from.
Only criminals convicted at the end of a trial and likely to be jailed then deported will have to provide their background details.
The new regime has been forced on Ministers by top judges, prosecutors and police chiefs who decided that collecting the nationalities of every suspect breached privacy laws.
Only criminals convicted at the end of a trial and likely to be jailed then deported will have to provide their background details. Pictured: Stock photo of a prisoner in handcuffs
It comes after The Mail on Sunday revealed a string of embarrassing failures to deport serious offenders, including a Nigerian fraudster who is being flown back to the UK after his removal was ruled unlawful.
Last night, Tory backbencher Philip Davies told The Mail on Sunday: 'As usual, it seems that the criminal justice system thinks the rights of criminals are more important than the rights of law-abiding citizens and victims of crime. That's what the public and I find so infuriating.' He called on Home Secretary Priti Patel to challenge the decision.
Under a 2017 criminal justice law aimed at making sure dangerous foreign criminals were caught and then removed from the UK, any suspect arrested for any offence had to state his or her nationality while defendants later charged were required to 'give his or her name, date of birth and nationality' when they first appeared in court.
But it is now thought these requirements breach the privacy law that came into force in the UK in 2018 – based on the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) – that led to an avalanche of junk email from firms asking shoppers if they wanted to remain on mailing lists.
The blanket requirement for all suspects to give their nationality is thought not to comply with the Data Protection Act requirement that personal information can only be collected if it is necessary and relevant, and cannot be held for an unnecessarily long time.
Only a tiny proportion of foreign suspects forced to give their nationality are ever charged, convicted, jailed and then deported. Latest figures show that just 4,743 foreign national offenders were returned home in the 12 months to March, down 11 per cent in a year.
A briefing note seen by this paper by a top Ministry of Justice official states that it is 'not lawful' under the recent legislation to collect nationality information from people who have not been convicted or sentenced and so are not about to be deported. As a result, last month members of the powerful Criminal Procedure Rule Committee agreed to amend the rules so only convicted offenders will have to reveal their nationality, and only when they are about to be taken into custody.
A Government spokesman said: 'A defendant's nationality will continue to be taken when a prison sentence is imposed.'

Tears and champagne flow as Checkatrade award announced
Dream Doors Oxford is a franchise of the UK's largest kitchen facelift retailer. Its owners, Elaine and Mike Hurley, won an unprecedented four awards at the Dream Doors Annual Conference held in Portsmouth last week.
Adding to their triple trophy haul from last year, the Hurleys regained their 'Franchisee of the Year' and 'Outstanding Monthly Performance' awards. They also won the 'Player's Player' award for the second year running, presented to them for their brand-building efforts and for the help and support they give to other Dream Doors franchisees.
"We're absolutely elated and still taking it all in," says Elaine. "We went into the evening thinking we'd probably won two trophies, as all the showrooms' sales can be seen on the Dream Doors intranet. But the others were a total shock. We won the 'Player's Player' award last year, and didn't think it was possible to win it again. It's one that's voted for by all the franchisees and means a lot to Mike and I."
After three visits to the stage, Elaine and Mike were called up one last time to share the Checkatrade 'Franchise of the Year' award with fellow franchisees, Mark and Amanda Edmans, from Dream Doors Chilterns.
"That's nine awards in three years, so we've just commissioned a new trophy cabinet," jokes Mike. "We're proud of them all, but the Checkatrade award was out of the blue – it bought Elaine to tears! We're delighted to be sharing the award with Mark and Amanda too. They're a neighbouring franchise, and have become good friends of ours over the last couple of years. They really deserve the accolade."
That trophy was presented to the Hurleys by Checkatrade's managing director Kevin Byrne, who said, "Choosing our 'Franchise of the Year' is actually quite a complex procedure, one that takes into account feedback and scores from customers, as well as how professionally and diligently a business is run. Elaine and Mike have been in the top three franchisees every year, and were narrowly beaten each time before. It's great to invite them up on stage to accept their award this year. I'm so pleased they won."
Checkatrade is an independent consumer monitoring service. It encourages customers to submit their own comments online; an unbiased review that gives anyone thinking about buying a new kitchen – or one of Dream Doors' time and money-saving kitchen makeovers – an honest appraisal of the business and its personnel.
The Hurleys have more than 250 testimonials on Checkatrade's website and an average score of 9.8 out of 10. One satisfied customer in Abingdon said recently: "Excellent workmanship. I was very pleased with the result. My mother was so impressed that she had her kitchen done too."

Breitling Navitimer Bracelet Or
After many compliments from lounge lizard friends, the http://www.buyijoy.com/replica-hublot-big-bang-king.html watch was made in small quantities only for his immediate circle. Eventually it went on sale in 1967.Breitling Navitimer released a new look for the iconic timepiece in 2012. The shape of the watch conforms to the perfect circle that Replica Breitling Navitimer professed to be the hardest shape for any artist to master. The design of the 2012 model had unobtrusive central attachments which lends the watch an impression of weightlessness as if the dial were suspended in space. The dial was unfussy simplicity itself with baton-shaped hour-markers and slender hands. The original watch featured a white dial with matte finish, baton hands, precisely geometrically placed Roman numeral hour markers, a yellow-gold case, and a simple, black leather strap. Several versions have been presented over the years. Rakishly elegant and extra-thin, the Replica Hublot Big Bang can be instantly identified for its two straight bars which frame the dial, and the genteel single attaching pins at the 12 and 6 o��clock positions. This elegant slimmed down look is starting to make a comeback in men��s dress watches.For 2013, Breitling Navitimer released a new version of the watch. This time it bears its originator��s full name. The dial is still in white lacquer, but this time the hours are represented by gold Roman numerals and slim black indices. As with the 2012 interpretation, the watch is imbued with a honeycomb pattern designed to resemble a dress shirt and it comes complete with a Breitling Navitimer logo. The watch is the horological equivalent of a size zero dress, extra-thin, it��s also subtly bevelled, so it can comfortably slip under a shirt cuff. The rounded attachments at the top and bottom of the case enable the watch to be worn lightly on the wrist. In the 2013 version a great deal of work has gone into the creation of the bracelet. Handmade, it is of pressed Milanese stitch requiring more than 15 separate operations. The metal is shaped into a spiral, with gold wire cut into lengths and then interlinked. If you feel your own social whirl deserves such a watch the 38mm model is ��24,800 and the larger 42mm version is ��27,900.

CLEARANCE: Dual Qi Wireless Phone Charger for Tesla Model 3
Actual Price: $89.00 Discounted Price: $29.95
These clearance items are for sale ONLY in the contiguous U.S. and available while supplies last.
Products may be demo units, manufacturer samples, or open items. They may have irregular fitment, missing parts, imperfections, and/or light use. Generic photos used may not reflect the current conditions of the items to be shipped.
ALL SALES FINAL for clearance items.
EVANNEX OWL is designed to provide Qi wireless charging for Tesla Model 3 owners with a smartphone that has built-in Qi wireless capability or a special case with a Qi wireless charging receiver (purchased separately). Please be sure that your smartphone meets one of these criteria.
EVANNEX® OWL is a custom-designed, integrated on-board wireless layer that provides Qi wireless charging for the Tesla Model 3. OWL is designed and manufactured to fit seamlessley onto the OEM plug-in charging shelf built into the Model 3 center console. EVANNEX OWL provides wireless charging for your smart phone without requiring you to "plug-in" the device. Drop your device* onto OWL and it begins to charge. Remove it by simply picking it up. Your device is always visible and charging, as long as it is placed on OWL. It installs very quickly, providing you with a high-tech, durable accessory that is sure to enhance your driving experience.
* Many new mobile devices (e.g., Samsung 9 or iPhone 8) have built-in Qi wireless charging capability. Older mobile devices can take advantage of Qi wireless charging with a wireless charging case that can be acquired separately at low cost.
EVANNEX® OWL connects directly to the USB ports that lie inside the center console and under the OEM charging shelf. It allows either one or two smartphones to be charged at the same time.
EVANNEX OWL is built from high-strength, textured ABS plastic, laser cut to the precise dimensions of the OEM charging shelf. The OEM foam cover of the Model 3 charging shelf is removed and OWL replaces it. Rubber grommets on the underside of OWL isolate it from vibration and movement.
Like all of our products, the EVANNEX® OWL for Model 3 has been designed by folks who own a Model 3. That means we understand how the current OEM approach works and have tried to offer meaningful improvements. We've designed a larger phone 'bumper' at the bottom of the platform to stop your device from slipping into the storage box (a common occurrence with the OEM plug-in shelf). To stop your device from sliding during cornering, we developed custom anti-slip borders to hold it in place. We're also very proud of our Model 3, so we designed OWL with a unique, stylized and laser-cut "3" backed in a brushed aluminum finish for your visual pleasure.
EVANNEX OWL can be installed very quickly without any tools required.
EVANNEX OWL for Model 3 makes use of two high efficiency Qi charging disks that use the power from the USB ports positioned under the OEM charging platform and convert it into an inductive charging mechanism for all smartphones equipped for Qi charging and for other smartphones with a special Qi charging case (sold elsewhere) to transfer the charge to the phone.
The specifications OWL's Qi charging disks are:
Input: DC 5V 2A or 9V 1.67A
Output: DC 5V 1A (Max. 5V 1.2A); DC 9V 1A (Max. 9V 1.1A)
Efficiency: 75-80%
Power: OWL is capable of 7.5W charging to accommodate mobile devices with "quick charge" capabilities (e.g., iPhone X at 7.5W) .
Transmission distance: 0.5-8mm
Cabling: USB connector
Once your device battery is fully charged, Qi charging will terminate.
OWL itself is constructed from high-strength ABS plastic that is laser cut to the precise dimensions fo the OEM charging shelf. OWL is 7.6-in (194mm) wide (at its widest point) and 6.85-in (174mm) high. It is approximately 3/16 in. thick. The bottom phone bumper is 0.5-in. (12.7mm) high.
Although the sizes of mobile devices keeps changing (and growing) EVANNEX OWL can accommodate the majority of standard sizes available, Qi-capable smart phones from all manufacturers and the vast majority of plus-size smart phones (e.g., iPhone 7+, 8+, X as well as most larger Samsung models and the plus size models of other manufacturers. To be certain that your phone + case can be accommodated, their combined dimensions should not exceed 6.375 in. H x 3.25 in. W x 0.5 in. T (162 mm H x 82 mm W x 12.5 mm T).
Please note that a few recent plus-size smartphones (e.g., Samsung Note 9) are very close to the maximum allowable dimension.
What are the advantages of wireless charging?
Consider the following scenario: You're driving and realize that your smart phone battery is very low. If you use the OEM plug-in charging shelf in your Model 3, you'll have to slide the phone onto the platform, align it properly with the mini connector, slide it downward to insert the charging connector—all while trying to keep your eyes on the road. With EVANNEX OWL, you simply place your device on the platform and you're charging it. That's a good thing for those who are safety conscious and want to keep their eyes on the road.
Is my phone capable of wireless charging using EVANNEX OWL?
Any smartphone that has Qi wireless charging capability should work with EVANNEX OWL. In addition, any smartphone that has a special case with a Qi wireless charging receiver (purchased separately) should be capable of wireless charging using OWL. We have tested OWL with the Apple iPhone models and with a variety of Samsung Models that support Qi Wireless charging and/or have a special case with a Qi wireless charging receiver.
Can I use my phone while it's charging with OWL?
Although we strongly recommend against using your device while you're driving, you can use your phone while its charging. For example, incoming and outgoing calls and (voice) texts can be processed while Qi charging.
Will I be able to see the display of my device while its Qi charging.
Driving is an eyes-busy, hands-busy activity. Your eyes should remain on the road and your hands on the steering wheel (even when Autopilot is engaged). Having said that, you will be able to see your device display while it's wirelessly charging.
How long does it take to install EVANNEX OWL?
The EVANNEX OWL is ready to install out of the box (no assembly is required). Installation should take about 2-5 minutes.
Are any tools required?
Do I need to assemble EVANNEX OWL before I install it?
No. EVANNEX OWL comes fully assembled and ready to install out of the box. We provide both written and video installation instructions.
Do I have to remove the foam pad that sits on the OEM charging platform?
Yes, but that's very easy. The pad is not glued down and can be removed easily with your fingers. EVANNEX OWL has the same dimensions as the foam pad and is then placed in exactly the same position.
Do I need to remove the existing mini-plug (for wired charging) that is currently installed on the OEM charging platform?
We recommend that you remove the plug. However, in some cases, you can leave the mini-plug in place if it does not obstruct installation of EVANNEX OWL. It's quite easy to remove the mini-plug by sliding the gloss black 'bumper' on the bottom of the OEM charging platform to the left and then remove the mini-plug and cabling. The entire operation takes less than a minute.
Does EVANNEX OWL interfere with the opening/closing of the door that covers the OEM charging shelf.
Absolutely not! The door opens and closes normally.
Where does EVANNEX OWL get its power?
From the USB ports that sit conveniently below the OEM charging platform. Just swivel the platform upward and the USB ports are accessible. EVANNEX OWL wiring for USB passes conveniently through an existing opening in the OEM charging platform, so no special routing of cables is required.
Does EVANNEX OWL use one or both of the OEM USB ports?
If both chargers are in use, OWL makes use of both ports. However, you can acquire a USB Male to Dual USB Female Jack Y Splitter Charger Cable, (available for under $5.00 at Amazon) thereby allowing one OEM USB port to remain free for other uses.
Can EVANNEX OWL accommodate larger phones as well as more standard-sized models?
Although the sizes of mobile devices keep changing (and growing) the EVANNEX Qi Charger can accommodate all stardard-size smart phones from all manufacturers and the vast majority of plus-size smart phones (e.g., iPhone 7+, 8+, X as well as most larger Samsung models and the models of other manufacturers. If your phone + case is 6.375 in. H x 3.25 in. W x 0.5 in. T (162 mm H x 82 mm W x 12.5 mm T), the EVANNEX OWL can accommodate it. Please note that a few recent plus-size smartphones (e.g., Samsung Note 9) are very close to the maximum allowable dimension and may be a tight fit.
Is there a way I can use EVANNEX OWL if I have a plus-size smartphone that's larger than the dimensions you specify?
Yes. The bumper bar at the bottom of OWL is pressure fit into place and can be removed by pulling it upward. Once it has been removed, you will have an additional 0.25 in. (6mm) of vertical space to fit your large smartphone. To accomplish this, place OWL on a flat surface, press down on the top surface of OWL near the bumper bar while simultaneously pulling upward on the bumper bar— it should pop out. Please note that it is important to press downward on the top surface of OWL near the bumper bar as you pull the bar upward. Failure to do so can damage OWL.
What are the specifications of the Qi charging electronics?
Go to our Specifications Tab for more details.
Isn't it true that Qi chargers charge a smartphone more slowly than plug-in charging?
That is true, but wireless (Qi) charging is far more convenient in driving situations. There are many factors that affect wireless charging speeds: (1) the type of smartphone you have; (2) the type of protective phone case you use; (3) the apps you use and the degree to which they use battery capacity, and (4) the signal strength of your cellular connection (the degree to which your phone must work to acquire and hold a signal). In addition, Qi chargers built to fit the geometry of the Model 3 phone charging space must by their nature be relatively thin so that they will properly fit the space. Inherently, this reduces the overall strength of the inductive field for Qi charging when compared to, say, larger desktop Qi chargers.
Do you test each Qi charger to be certain it's operational before the product is shipped?
Yes. We use test equipment that provides precise digital measures of voltage and current to ensure that every OWL charger is fully operational before the product is shipped.
Can EVANNEX OWL accommodate mobile devices with "Quickcharge" capability?
Yes, although there are a number of different variants of "Quickcharge" with new variants being introduced regularly. The EVANNEX OWL supports both 7.5W charging, so it is compatible with many mobile devices that provide quick charge capability.
My smartphone doesn't have wireless charging capability built-in. Can I still use EVANNEX OWL in my Model 3?
Yes, but you'll have to buy a wireless charging case for your phone. Wireless charging cases are designed for specific phones, so you'll have to select the right one for your phone. Amazon is a good source—search "wireless charging phone cases." You plug your phone into a mini-charging plug that's built into the case and you're good to go. The case encapsulates the electronics required to couple with OWL's Qi wireless charging platform.
Are there any troubleshooting tips you have if I'm having issues getting my Qi charger working?
Yes. Click the button below for troubleshooting tips...
I've read reports that some smartphones can become quite warm during Qi charging. Is there anything I can do to prevent that?
Some smartphone brands do become warm or even hot when charging, regardless of whether the charge is a hardwired connection or a Qi charge. This varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, so it is difficult to address the question specifically. In some cases, the use of a specific app, such as a GPS-oriented app while charging, can cause the phone to become warm or even hot. In other cases, leaving the phone on the charge pad for long periods of time can also cause heating. In the unlikely event you feel your phone becoming warm or hot during charging we recommend removing it, allowing it to cool, and then continuing charging later.
What is the return policy for EVANNEX OWL?
You may return EVANNEX OWL for any reason for a period of 30 days from the date of delivery in North American; provided that the product is returned undamaged and with no scratches, tears, nicks, dents or wear in its original packaging, with shipping and insurance paid by the purchaser. Product Registration must be completed prior to return.

There are still some rewrites to do, a couple of polishes to finish, and a series finale to break but, for now, I'm taking it easy. For now, it's all about the dogs.
We broke out the stroller for the dogs while Lulu managed to limp her way to the dog park long enough to say hit to all the dog owners before calling it a day. Suji got to put on her wheels and motor around the park as well while Bubba, as usual, preferred to spend quality time with mom –
So, we're wrestling with indecision regarding Bubba. The oncologist recommended a drug called Palladia which is a chemotheraphy medication. It seemed simple enough: give him a single pill every other day with his meal, alternating with Prednisone, a corticosteroid and anti-inflammatory. But, when we got home and read the special handling instructions, Akemi instantly had second thoughts…
