Enough of the jargon – what do I need to know about dividend dates?
The language of trading and investment is littered with examples of esoteric terms and confusing acronyms. This is also true for dividend investors and it is essential to understand the signifance of the various dates effecting your dividend entitlements. It may mean the difference between being eligible for the next dividend and missing out. This article will clear the jargon to clearly outline the meaning and purpose of basic dividend date terms.
The important dates that effect dividend entitlements and payments are the:
- ex-dividend date;
- the record date; and
- the date payable or payment date.
Record Date
When a company declares a dividend, generally at the same time as its biannual trading results announcement, it also announces a record date (sometimes also known as the books closing date). Dividends are paid to all investors listed on the company's share register at 5:00pm on this record date. Changes to registration details also need to be made by this time.
Ex-Dividend Date
The date on or after which a stock trades ex-dividend. At this point, the person who owns the security on the ex-dividend date will be awarded the payment, regardless of who currently holds the stock. After the ex-date has been declared, the stock will usually drop in price by the amount of the expected dividend.
The ex-dividend date is determined by the ASX by working forward from record date. The ex-dividend date is 4 trading days prior to the record date. Therefore the investor MUST have purchased the shares at least five trading days before the record date or by the close of trading on the day BEFORE the ex-dividend date.
The moment the trade is executed the investor becomes the legal owner of the share. However, it is not until three business days later that the funds are transferred and the stock is transferred from seller to buyer on the share register. Fortunately, share investors do not have to determine the ex-dividend date from the books close date as the ASX automatically does this and ex-dividend dates are readily available in the financial press and the ASX website.
Payable Date
Most Australian companies pay dividends between two and eight weeks after the ex-dividend date. This varies and some companies are noteworthy for being consistently slow It is worth checking the payable date as some companies are serial offenders when it come to late payment of dividends. The company posts out the dividend cheques on the payable date Alternatively, if you have requested a direct credit, the day the funds will be transferred to you. Investors who participate in a dividend reinvestment plan (DRP) will receive shares in lieu of cash around this date.
Cum-Dividend vs Ex-Dividend
You will note that in the financial press that shares are often annotated CD and XD. If you buy a stock before the ex-dividend date, the stock is cum-dividend, and you're entitled to the dividend. The share is considered to be cum-dividend. If you buy it on or after the ex-dividend date, then you will not receive the current dividend as the stock is considered ex-dividend.
Never forget, that in order to receive the dividend you must purchase the shares before the ex-dividend date.

I still can hear my professor's voice from grad school echoing through my head repeatedly… "What gets measured gets done." I am not going to say that this mantra is full proof nor will I say that things that are not measured do not get done, but it is amazing how if you are willing to go through the process of measuring things… to keep track of them, that they often seem more likely to get done.
In work, that is why it is important to not only have things that are measured but to think about the implications of what may be ignored due to the items that are chosen to be measured… Often in the workplace, whether a small business or a large corporation, this has led to the arrangement of a balanced scorecard where different things are measured to hopefully alleviate not having one important thing sacrificed for the sake of another.
In financial planning as it exists today, there often are tendencies to try to focus on one thing in terms of looking at priorities. Though there is definite power in focus, especially if one is willing to sacrifice other areas of one's life to achieve something, this may not always be practical or advisable. Often it is not.
In goal setting, many may have made New Year's resolutions as it related to health and wealth. These may include a goal to lose so much weight by such and such point, or to be able to complete a certain activity by a certain point of time, or to have accumulated X number of dollars.
I have completed a number of marathons. It involves a lot of training and a lot of time. I had to sacrifice other things in my life to be able to do these things. Though I reaped a number of benefits, including feeling better physically and in the training for one of them, losing a fair amount of weight, I also had less time that I spent on my relationships and some of them may have suffered accordingly.
Part of the beauty of planning is in trying to find the balance of what should be measured. What should be priority? What should we make certain is kept in the picture so it does not suffer? How often will we check in to make sure that we are going in the right direction? Are we prepared to readjust if our goals have unintentional side effects?
What measured does get done… and it can be used for significant benefit. It is also important to remember that there is more than just one thing that most of us face.
As always, please send your questions and comments to firstname.lastname@example.com

HUDSON - The end is near and Dick Lawrence wants state lawmakers to take note. Far from a grim prophet foretelling an impending doomsday, Lawrence, a 57-year-old cycling enthusiast from Hudson, deals in a different kind of soothsaying: petroleum production.
A 'peak' at oil's future
By Dan McDonald
HUDSON - The end is near and Dick Lawrence wants state lawmakers to take note.
Far from a grim prophet foretelling an impending doomsday, Lawrence, a 57-year-old cycling enthusiast from Hudson, deals in a different kind of soothsaying: petroleum production.
To rouse awareness and educate local lawmakers about the economic ramifications of reaching peak production oil status - and the subsequent downward spiral of such production - Lawrence, along with politicians and economic experts, is meeting with legislators at the State House on Monday.
Lawrence hopes at least one legislator will work to form a Peak Oil and Gas Caucus in the Legislature. The caucus would start planning for peak oil mitigation in the event oil production reaches an apex and starts an inevitable decline.
"We have to look at what kind of industry we're encouraging in the state," said Lawrence.
The Connecticut General Assembly has such a caucus.
He will be joined by Roger Bezdek, co-author of the Hirsch Report, a document that examines the peak oil conundrum. It was made per the request of the U.S. Department of Energy earlier this decade.
Both Lawrence and Bezdek say the demand for oil is quickly outdistancing the increase in oil production.
International powers with burgeoning middle classes, like Russia and India, consume more petroleum every year.
Mix in the finite nature of the resource and you have a recipe for economic turmoil, Bezdek and Lawrence say.
Meanwhile, less oil is being discovered every year. Last year, said Bezdek, 5 billion to 7 billion barrels of oil were discovered - a number which pales in comparison with the 28 billion barrels of oil consumed worldwide, he said.
"That ratio has been worsening for years," said Bezdek.
The solution is complex. Bezdek and Lawrence hope legislators will start thinking of ways to encourage measures like smart growth and higher emissions standards for vehicles. People should start to wean themselves off petroleum dependency, particularly regarding transportation, whether private or public.
Bezdek encouraged the use of biomass fuel, oil shale and "anything else we can think of."
The development of nuclear energy, wind power, geothermal energy, as well as soy and algae-based diesel sources, should continue to be encouraged, said Lawrence.
However, it is unlikely any one energy source would prove to be as dense and portable as oil, said Lawrence. Bezdek pointed out that airplanes have no viable alternative fuel option to petroleum.
"There's no silver bullet, but there are many shotgun pellets," said Bezdek. "Part of solving the problem is being aware it exists."
Should the world's oil production tumble downward, the shift to an alternative source of fuel is "potentially a problem the world has never seen before," said Bezdek. A decline in global petroleum supply would carry dire consequences like recession, economic depression and high unemployment rates, said Bezdek.
Past energy shifts, like wood to coal, have been much more "gradual and transformational," he said.
As co-founder of the Association for the Study of Peak Oil and Gas in the United States, Lawrence is concerned the world's petroleum production will take a nose dive within the next five years - significantly sooner than some well-accepted projections made by federal authorities like the Energy Information Administration, he said.
"Once the downward trend starts. it will pretty much be irrevocable," he said.
The Energy Information Administration thinks the world has 25-35 years before oil production drops off, said Lawrence.
He admits his conclusion is controversial.
"It's got an apocalyptic stigma we're trying to erase," he said. "They think there's a bigger supply than I think there is and they're grossly optimistic in their estimates of the ability to produce that supply."
Oil production may have already plateaued, he said.
Lawrence said the world's daily consumption of oil has been hovering around 85 million barrels since 2005. As far as the price of petroleum, Lawrence said "barring a worldwide recession," the price of oil would continue to escalate.
Bezdek, meanwhile, used the price of a latte to put the current price of gasoline in perspective.
"We've been used to a relatively cheap price of petroleum," he said. "It's equivalent to 15 cents a cup. People will spend four dollars on a cup of coffee at Starbucks. Then they spend three or four bucks for a gallon of gasoline and they think it's outrageous."

What's the theory behind my economic forecast? In simple language, it's complicated. My forecast is judgmental rather than coming from an econometric model. I begin with a "bottoms-up" prediction of major sectors, followed by a top-down reality-check. This article will explain my basic economic thought process.
The classical economists are in the back of my mind. They viewed the economy as self-regulating. The Pigou effect is one part of the process, but not the only one. I certainly believe we would have business cycles even in the absence of bad government policy, but I think the classicals were right that if the government took their hands off the levers of policy, the economy would come back to full employment. My judgment is that the speed of adjustment would be fairly rapid, but the slow-adjustment argument is worth considering.
I read John Maynard Keynes' General Theory as a skeptical undergraduate, but I really took to it after reading Axel Leijonhufvud's splendid On Keynesian Economics and the Economics of Keynes. He said that textbook Keynesian economics had become mechanical, losing some key points. I took away two lessons. The first is that the basis for many spending decisions is soft. We can teach MBA students how to find the optimum capital expenditure, but the calculations are based on a host of unknowns: future prices and future costs and future interest rates. The second lesson is that in an environment of unknowns, decision-makers often take on a herd mentality, leading to swings of optimism and pessimism. When forecasting business decisions, I look at the fundamental factors that should be driving capital spending, but I also recognize the possibility of these mood swings.
The monetarism of Milton Friedman and others heavily influenced me early in my career. I'm less a monetarist now, partly because it's so hard to find a measure of money supply for which demand is fairly stable. Nonetheless, I take monetary policy to be powerful, but not completely determinative for the economy.
"Real business cycle" theory shows that swings in new technology development can trigger booms and busts. For their work on this, Finn Kydland and Edward Prescott were awarded the Nobel prize in economics. Read the prize description for more about their work at the layman's level. When the tech sector develops new business models, there can certainly be a boost to capital spending—so long as the technology does not reduce the need for capital in total. I keep this in mind, but most of my effort focuses on other areas.
The dominant macroeconomic theory today is "new Keynesian," which emphasizes the business cycle consequences of market imperfections, such as wages and prices that adjust to new circumstances only gradually. I take this seriously, though with the proviso that when it is profitable to change wages and prices more quickly, that will happen.
That idea brings us to rational expectations, the notion that people make decisions using all of the information available to them. The idea is frequently criticized, even to the point of being laughed at, but let's state it a different way: You can't fool all the people all the time. Robert Lucas argues that economic policy which depended on tricking people would not long work. Think of government spending to stimulate the economy. The stimulus comes only if people do not boost their savings so that they can pay a future tax bill. As more and more people worry about the federal debt burden, I think that policy is less effective.
I'm often asked about Austrian business cycle theory, which I studied both as an undergraduate and in my Ph.D. program at Duke. The simplistic version of this theory is that easy money policy from the Federal Reserve (or other central bank) causes more capital spending and more roundabout production processes than is warranted by the underlying productivity of capital and consumer time preference. Eventually the misallocation of resources is corrected, resulting in a recession or depression. The downturn is necessary to correct the errors of the past. Although there are many insights from the Austrian school that I use regularly, I find the specifics of the business cycle theory less useful.
I also find a good bit of overlap between the economics of Keynes, with its emphasis on decision-making under uncertainty, and the Austrian view. This seems odd to those who see Keynesians as proponents of activist government and Austrians as opponents. The two schools are united in their emphasis on decision-making under uncertainty. (Although Hayek and Keynes are sometimes portrayed as antagonists, they were cordial colleagues. During World War II they walked the streets of Cambridge together as air wardens, checking that blackout curtains were in place.)
My economic theory is a mongrel, using a variety of insights developed by different theorists. The most important basis is old-fashioned supply and demand, applied to different sectors of the economy. For instance, when I look at consumer spending on durables goods such as cars, I examine incomes and whether there might be pent-up demand. When business spending is surging, I'm concerned about supply-chain limitations.
In practice, forecasting is heavily judgmental. Some folks have computer models that they let run on autopilot. But each model is based on judgements about what factors to include and what to ignore. The world is too complicated—and data too limited—to utilize all possible explanatory factors, so economists pick and choose. Whether with a computer model or a purely judgmental process, the economist makes his best guess in an atmosphere of uncertainty.

Apple has seeded a new beta of the third Snow Leopard maintenance update set to iron out compatibility issues and crashes in over 90 system components.
Multiple Mac publications reported last week that the Californian firm seeded the first beta of Mac OS X 10.6.3 (build 10D522) to a limited set of developers. The 666MB download allegedly addressed over 90 system components, fixing compatibility issues with third-party applications and various stability issues within the system, AppleInsider has learned.
The release notes accompanying the download documented fixes for issue with iTunes, Display preferences, ColorSync Utility Filters, and application updating. AppleInsider has discovered that Mac OS X 10.6.3 will also focus on AppKit, CoreMedia, Desktop Services, FileSync, Fonts, HIToolbox, iCal, Mail, MobileMe, and QuickTime Player X, in addition to improvements to Snow Leopard's automatic spell correction, and fixes for crashes while printing and using AppKit, the Dock, iCal, Mail, Photo Booth, Rosetta, Spotlight, Screen Sharing, and Software Updater. MacRumors cited "people familiar with the matter" claiming the release addresses approximately 225 issues.
The new update emerges nearly two months after Apple posted the second Snow Leopard update mid-October 2009. Mac OS X 10.6.2 fixed a nasty Guest account bug that wiped the entire contents of the home folder for a small portion of users. It also improved graphic performance and fixed nearly 150 issues found in other areas of the system, including QuickTime, iChat, iDisk, Safari plug-ins, and graphics drivers.
The first Snow Leopard update arrived just two weeks after Snow Leopard went on sale. The initial Snow Leopard release was plagued with various compatibility issues with third-party Mac applications and a vulnerable Flash player plug-in. Snow Leopard comes preloaded on every Mac along with iLife digital lifestyle suite. The operating system represents a top-to-bottom code overhaul – nearly 90 percent of system projects have been re-written from the ground up. New Snow Leopard technologies allow application developers to tap the power of multi-core CPUs more easily, use GPUs for computing tasks, like crunching numbers, manipulating large data sets, and more.

The first approach to criticality in the second unit of the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant near here started at 7.52 PM today, KKNPP site director R S Sundar said.
The Atomic Energy Regulatory Board had already given its nod to the Nuclear Power Corporation of India (NPCIL), a PSU under the Department of Atomic Energy that operates the plant, to go ahead with the criticality process.
The reactor would attain criticality gradually during the next 48 hours, KKNPP sources said.
Unit 1 and 2 of the KKNPP VVER reactors are being built with the collaboration with Russia. Each reactor has the capacity to generate 1000 MW of electricity.
The first unit started generating power in October 2013. But the plant saw several breakdowns during its operation following which it had to be shut down for sometime to undertake repairs work.

The t-bar row is a bent over row variation which primarily targets the latissimus dorsi, but also recruits the rhomboids, teres major, rear deltoid head, and the arm flexor muscles.
Because the athlete is bent over during the t-bar row, it may not be a suitable exercise for those with posture issues, lower back problems, or inflexible hamstrings. Such athletes may find a seated row a better suited alternative.
Form is important during the t-bar row. Always aim to move the weight with the target muscles, avoiding any movement of the hips or lower body. If the athlete begins to drive the hips during the exercise it is a clear indication that the weight is too heavy (either for the target or the stabilising muscles).
Whilst this exercise profile discusses the use of a t-bar row station, many athletes also perform the t-bar row with a barbell, albeit often in a less safe manner depending on how the barbell is secured. This is done by loading one end of the barbell with the required load, whilst the other none-loaded end is pinned into the corner of the gym. The athlete then performs the t-bar row by grasping the loaded end of the barbell.

10 Best iOS Mapping Applications for Your iPhone or iPad
10 Best iOS Mapping Applications for Your iPhone or iPad
iPhone and iPad users have, in addition to Apple Maps, a number of fine mapping apps from which to choose. Here are 10 of the best navigation tools for your iOS device.
Google Maps Is Always a Favorite
Google Maps has earned its position as a leading mapping application by delivering outstanding turn-by-turn directions. The free app includes a simple searching feature, support for points of interest, arguably the best map designs in this roundup and real-time traffic updates. Google Maps has become a favorite for online users and is the most popular third-party mapping app in Apple's App Store.
MapQuest Offers New and Improved Features
MapQuest has had a long and storied history, but now it finds itself trying to compete in the mobile market. MapQuest, a free download, offers turn-by-turn voice navigation for both walking and driving. Users also get estimated arrival times and information on a particular road's speed limit. MapQuest includes support for Uber and car2go, for those who want to book a ride through the app.
Verizon Tries Its Luck With VZ Navigator
Verizon Wireless might be best known as a cellular provider, but it's also competing in the mapping world. The company's VZ Navigator app includes points of interest as well as travel services such as gas stations and restaurants, along with turn-by-turn directions and weather tracking. VZ Navigator is free for 30 days, but then comes with a $5 monthly subscription fee. Those who don't want to incur that charge can pay 99 cents for 24 hours of use whenever they need it.
Google Keeps Improving Waze
Google-owned Waze continues to improve. The free app includes standard features such as turn-by-turn directions, but it relies on app users to deliver up-to-date travel information, such as where traffic is slow, locations of roadwork or accidents, where police might be active and more. More recently, the app has added suggestions on where to park to get to an event or an appointment more quickly.
Citymapper Calls Itself the 'Ultimate Transit App'
Citymapper lets users store their address to get home more quickly and see the best routes for getting to a location via everything from cars to buses. The app also suggests the best routes when riding in a taxi so drivers don't rip off riders. However, the app, which is available for free, only works in select cities. Those who want Citymapper to come to their city can vote for it on the Citymapper website.
Get Through Big Cities With Here WeGo
Similar to Citymapper, Here WeGo is designed for those who want to get around big cities. The app, which is available as a free download, comes with detailed routes, turn-by-turn directions and live traffic information for major cities around the world. It also offers offline map support, so users can get directions even when they don't have an internet connection.
Project the Way Forward With Sygic
Sygic's projection feature makes it one of the more popular free mapping apps in this roundup. By placing the iPhone on the dashboard and setting it to project, the app can display information on the windshield, including directions on when to turn and road speed limits. Sygic relies upon TomTom for its built-in maps, and offers free map updates all year long.
Quick and Easy Directions With Moovit
Moovit has quietly built a name for itself in the mobile-mapping industry by offering a nice software design and easy-to-understand directions. The free public transit app and mapping service updates directions in real time based on information it's collected. It can provide information including how many stops are left, how long users should expect to wait at certain intersections and arrival information based on traffic conditions. The app also has a Favorites feature to store oft-traveled locations. It works in more than 850 cities worldwide.
Garmin USA Is a Favorite of Many
One of the few appealing paid apps in the App Store is Garmin USA, a $50 program. The app essentially takes Garmin's familiar software design and maps and plops them into iOS. The result is a full-featured app that includes maps for places around the world, suggested ways to get around detours and traffic information. Garmin's app also has speed and red light camera alerts baked into the software.
Apple Maps Is Slowly but Surely Getting Better
Apple Maps is by no means the best app in this roundup, but those who don't want to deal with a third-party application can try out Apple's option. The app has received multiple upgrades in recent years, including the ability to find points of interest, suggestions on places to go and support for third-party app extensions. But most importantly, its accuracy has been improved, so now users can feel comfortable knowing the app won't lead them astray. Apple Maps comes bundled with iOS at no additional charge.

|Allan, J.A.
During and following the first World War in the years 1914 to 1918, extensive prospecting proved the presence of large deposits of high rank coal within the Rocky Mountains in southwestern Alberta, in the vicinity of the Highwood and Sheep rivers. The increased fuel demand during the years 1939 to 1945 in the second World War cause a revival of interest in these deposits. Since little geological information was available for this area, the Research Council of Alberta assigned a geological field party to study the coal deposits and associated strata. This fieldwork, carried on during the summers of 1945 and 1946, forms the basis for this report.

text: chronic nuisance Council likely to modify "chronic nuisance" ordinance Wednesday By Jay Hanselman • Nov 19, 2013 Jay Hanselman / WVXU Cincinnati Council will likely approve a modified chronic nuisance ordinance Wednesday that should settle a lawsuit filed against the city on the issue. "This is an agreement that the city and that particular property owner were able to work out," said Wendell Young, chairman of Council's public safety committee. "It appears that the other property owners think this is also a good deal, so there should not be a lot of controversy about this." Enforcing Cincinnati's chronic nuisance ordinance By Jay Hanselman • Oct 23, 2012 A city attorney said officials are working to aggressively enforce a tougher chronic nuisance ordinance Council approved last year. Mark Manning started in March and works in the District One police headquarters. He spoke to a Council committee last week. A property is declared a chronic nuisance once crime and disorder there reaches a certain level. The goal is to hold the owner responsible for those problems.

The Metaphysical side of Amethyst
Manganese in clear quartz produces the beautiful shades of pinkish lavender to deep purple. The name comes from a Greek word which translates literally as "not drunken". Amethyst is said to help one both avoid and recover from addiction to intoxicants. "Amethyst facilitates transmutation of the lower energies into the higher frequencies. It is representative of the principle of complete metamorphosis." Amethyst helps one identify more with the higher spiritual self than the temporary material body. It balances the intellectual, mental, emotional and physical bodies which encourages insight, stability, peace and strength respectively.
An overwhelming positive stone, helping to transform the dysfunction that aspects of modern living encourages. It has been used extensively in the treatment of addictions of all kinds as it helps not only provide insight into the complexities of the addictive condition, but helps illuminate a clear path beyond its boundaries.
Useful for meditation as it has a very calming effect, gives protection from negative psychic energy, induces flexibility in limited mental constructs, and activates the crown chakra.

Best Beaches in Barcelona, Beach Holidays in Barcelona
July 27, 2009 by bestvacations
Filed under Beach Vacations, Spain Best Beaches, World's Best Destinations
If you're a sun and sand lover, Barcelona is definitely the right city for you. It has a coastline 4.5km long and offers you a wide range of fun and beautiful beaches. So head to a Barcelona beach when you travel to this bustling city. Here are the more popular beaches in Barcelona.
Barceloneta, favorite among foreign visitors, has one of the longest coastlines in Barcelona (1.1 km). This beach is also one of the most traditional and oldest beaches in the city. Barceloneta's dimensions make it suitable for leisure equipment, including volleyball courts and a table soccer area located on the Eastern side, facing the Hospital del Mar. It also has a children's play area located on the Western side, beside the Gas breakwater. You will also find here gym and ping pong areas. Barceloneta also comes equipped with a skating area.
Sant Sebastià
San Sebastià is situated in the Ciutat Vella district and is the beach most closest to the city proper on the coastline's Eastern end. It is the beach most frequented by local residents, especially residents of Ciutat Vella. San Sebastià is also popular among foreign tourists. Because of its proximity to the center of Barcelona, many tourists come here by public transport or on foot. There is also a metro stop that connects the area to other parts of the city.
Nova Icària
Nova Icària is located in the center of Barcelona's coastline. The people who frequent this 400-m long beach are locals from nearby towns as well as foreign tourists. It is the beach where tourists stay the longest, perhaps because it is well-known for its being the quietest in Barcelona. Nova Icària is frequented mostly by groups of friends and also families with children. Many beach goers reach the beach on foot.
Bogatell is a 600-m long beach revitalized when the city's seafront was restored in the 1990s. It is very much appreciated by Barcelona coastal visitors. This is, among other reasons, because of its safety. A cycle track borders the Bogatell beach so you can easily reach by bicycle.
Mar Bella
Mar Bella is a 500-m long beach situated in the East of the city coastline. It came into existence after the coastal area became part of the urban redevelopment as part of the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games preparations. At the Western end of the Mar Bella beach is a nautical base where activities related to the sea are performed. What's more, it also has a beach area designated for nudists.
Top 10 Things to do in Barcelona, Barcelona Best Destinations, Best Europan Cities for Vacation

Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, is the second largest city in Spain. Barcelona's magnificent architecture is dominated by the work of the great Antonio Gaudi. Shopping, art, dining, and entertainment also feature prominently in this lively city. Here are 10 things not to miss in Barcelona. If you plan to European cities as a holiday destination, the capital of Catalonia and Spain's second city should be on the top of the list of your visit.
1 Sagrada Familia Church
With its soaring, expressionist towers, Sagrada Familia is Antonio Gaudi's most famous creation. And it is not yet finished! Begun in 1882, construction on the church continues, and is funded by Barcelona's tourism industry.
2 Casa-Museu Gaudi
In his later years, Gaudi lived with his niece in this pink house that looks like something straight out of a fairy tale. The rooms in the house are themed, containing furniture, drawing, and portraits made by Gaudi himself.
3 Bishop's Palace
A new structure begun in 1889 to replace the original palace, which had been destroyed by a fire, the Bishop's Palace had a storied history during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Gaudi abandoned the work after the Bishop Juan Bautista Grau i Vallespinós died, and the palace was not occupied until 1961. Read more

When you go to Barcelona, you feel like being a city other than Spain. With its rich culture, this country is like an open air museum. They introduce themselves as Catalans. They will tell that there was Catalan culture before Spain was established. They will say that they are more cosmopolit than Madrid and more European than Spain. They regard Spain as a union including many provinces other than a country.
The best known symbol of Barcelona is the Temple of the Holy Family which is located in the boulevard of Catalan Governor Office. It was started to be built in 1882 by Villar with a gothic shape, but then Anthony Gaudi went on its building till he died. The structure is still being built. In Barcelona, modern structures show differences with the effects of rich culture of Barcelona. The cause of this difference is the combination of Gothic, Islamic, Renaissance, Romansk, and Byzantine styles. Glass and brick used in ornation was designed by Gaudi to form a modern style. It is possible to see the other structures of Gaudi in the city like The Quarry.
Barri Gotic is an popular place of the visitors despite not being a touristic village. Here is a small village of Spain attracting many tourists who wants to learn more about the culture of Barcelona. The painter was born in Barri Gotic and his impressions of the village are reflected in his art.
Barcelona can nat be imagined without Picasso. Picasso was born in 1881 in Malaga. He lived in Barcelona and was inspired by Barri Gotik and Barri Xines regions. He dealt with empresyonizm and sembolizm. Picasso returned to Barcelona in 1901 and till 1904 he created his best arts. In 1904 he went to France and died 1973 in France. The art pieces of Picasso was begun to collected in a museum in 1962. Museo Picasso is in Barcelona with its art pieces more than 2,500.
The famous Las Ramblas Street is only a mile away the harbour. There is the famous Christopher Colombus Statue just beside the harbour along the Mediterranean Sea. The other boulevard where concerts and dramas are held is Plaza of the King. After returning his voyage to Barcelona, Colombus entered the presence of Isabella and Ferdinand in this place.
Bull fighting can not be imagined apart from Spain. For watching bull fighting, you are supposed to buy your tickets two days ago. Ticket prices may vary according to the fighting, but it is generally between 1000 and 6000 Peseta. The fights of the bulls whose age are 3 is always less than 1000 Peseta. Before entering the arena, do not forget to buy flower for throwing to matadors. Undoubtedly, the favourite colours of Spain is red and black. In the boulevard of Sagrada Familia and katalan office, you can watch the show of Serdana dancers and have a fun there.

Signs And Symptoms of Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency
Diagnosis of AGHD
Until several years ago, the growth hormone stimulation test (GHST), which measures the capacity of the pituitary to produce growth, was considered the principal criteria for the diagnosis of AGHD. During the past several years, the accuracy of the GHST to determine whether a person has AGHD has been increasingly questioned because of test variability and and increasing acceptance of IGF-I being of significant diagnostic value in combination with the GHST, the phenotype (physical and mental characteristics, the medical history, as described above; and, increased understanding that, in the absence of a clearly defined organic cause for AGHD, the unique physiology of each person being evaluated, makes the diagnosis of AGHD complex and varied.
Adult growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is a multifactorial disorder in which pituitary dysfunction associated with pituitary adenomas or their treatment plays a major role. The concept of partial GHD, recognized by paediatric endocrinologists for many years, is being now being examined in adults for an association between hypothalamic-pituitary disease and metabolic and anthropometric abnormalities in persons whose GH range from severe GHD to non-GHD levels. Partial GHD, however, becomes more difficult to diagnosis in the presence of obesity, increasing age, and in the absence of additional pituitary hormone deficits.
Adults with GHD can have a variety of signs and symptoms, which include abnormality body composition with increased fat mass (especially central adiposity), decreased lean muscle mass, extracellular fluid volumn, dimished muscle strength, physical energy and stamina, lack of motivation, lethargy, lability (changes in mood), depression, and impairment of congitive functions.
Comprehensive biochemical testing may reveal the following conditions that are also markers for AGHD: lipid imbalance, athersclerosis, obesity, increased LDL cholesterol and reduced insulin sensitivity, and metabolic syndrome. An MRI scan may reveal a structural abnormality or tumor in the brain. A pulmonary function test may reveal dimished lung respiratory muscle capacity. A DEXA dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) scan may reveal osteoporosis and increased risk of fracture. All those conditions are consistent with AGHD. Hypopituitarism and GHD are associated with an increased mortality.
Comprehensive biochemical testing initally includes, but is not limited to: complete blood count (CBC) with differential platelets, comprehensive metabolic panel, thyroid panel, IGF-I, HbA1c, lutenizing hormone, follicle stimulating horomone, testosterone, estrogen (for women only), DHEAS, androstenedione. Biochemical testing can also reveal deficiences in thyroxin, testosterone, and androgenic steriods (DHEAS and androstenedione), diseases and disorders of metabolism, and genetic defects that can interfere with the secretion, uptake, and utilization of GH and IGF-I.
When the IGF-I is low, further investigation is warranted to determine the cause of the low IGF-I, which can include (1) the testing of IGF-II, and the IGF binding proteins; (2) growth hormone stimulation tests to determine whether the pituitary has the capacity to produce growth hormone; (3) the levels of zinc, magnesium, and selenium, which minerals are necessary for the proper functioning of certain enzymes that are essential for the metabolic processes involved in with IGF-I and its various binding proteins; and, possibly testing for metabolic diseases and disorders.
The diagnosis of AGHD is often challenging because of the absence of growth parameters as diagnostic factors in addition factor, and the effects of other disorders that adults acquire over time. Other markers are therefore needed to identify adults who have GHD and could potentially benefit from GH replacement therapy. Consensus guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of adult GHD include patients who have evidence of hypothalamic-pituitary disease or disorder, patients with childhood-onset GHD, and patients who have undergone cranial ablation, or have a history of head trauma. Suspicion of GHD is also heightened in the presence of other pituitary hormone deficits. Tests for GHD include measurement of GH upon conducting growth hormone stimulation tests (GHSTs) with provoking agents that have high sensitivity and sensitivity including, but not limited to, the insulin tolerance test (ITT), GHRH plus arginine or GHRH and GHRP-6. The results of several studies have found that non-stimulated serum or urine measurements of GH levels do not reliably predict deficiency in adults. Also, the ITT has some potential risks involved its administration and is of questionable reproducibility, which have prompted the development of the previously mentioned tests. Thus, in cases where ITT is contraindicated or inconclusive, the combination of arginine and GHRH is an effective alternative.
The signs and symptoms of growth hormone deficiency can be masked by testosterone or thyroxin; or caused by deficiencies in those hormones or by other hormone dysfunction or by metabolic disorders. In such cases, rhGH can cause other hormone deficiencies (e.g., cortisol), or in combination with testosterone in males can cause (1) secondary polycythemia via the hormone erythropietin, resulting in serious and even grave conditions (i.e. hemochromotosis, cardiac infarction, stroke and paralysis, liver damage). rhGH can also stimulate coagulation of prothrombin and activated partial thromboplastin time in GHD adults. Excessive GH/rhGH also causes a significant increase in the risk of cancer and the recurrance of cancer, and diabetes mellitus. It is, therefore, important to identify and rule out any such conditions before diagnosing and treating GHD/AGHD. The patient's medical history, as well as physical examination, biochemical testing and appropriate scans of the brain are critical to the diagnosis and treatment of the patient for AGHD.

On a really basic level, no more 9-5 idea was designed as a reminder to follow your dreams, and do what you love. It doesn't necessarily mean quit your day job, but on the other hand it promotes you to create something for yourself. To me the 9-5 job is a symbol of safety. From what I've learned whenever you feel safe or comfortable, you're not growing. No 9-5 urges you to get uncomfortable! Try new things, take some risks, fail and then try again! No 9-5 is a symbol of freedom, creativity, fearlessness and hope.

OBJECTIVES: This study examined knowledge about prostate- specific antigen (PSA) screening among African Americans and Whites. Because PSA screening for prostate cancer is controversial, professional organizations recommend informed consent for screening. METHODS: Men (n = 304) attending outpatient clinics were surveyed for their knowledge about and experience with screening. RESULTS: Most men did not know the key facts about screening with PSA. African Americans appeared less knowledgeable than Whites, but these differences were mediated by differences in educational level and experience with prostate cancer screening. CONCLUSIONS: Public health efforts to improve informed consent for prostate cancer screening should focus on highlighting the key facts and developing different approaches for men at different levels of formal education and prior experience with screening.

50 Cent Associate Arrested for Assault and Robbery of Slowbucks
A 50 Cent associate has been arrested for allegedly pummeling and robbing Slowbucks of his chain at Hot 97's Summer Jam concert reports AllHipHop.com.
Mikey Fingers, who is purportedly a member of the rapper's entourage, is currently in jail for the assault and robbery of Slowbucks' jewelry.
In a tweet that has since been removed, concert promoter Mike Lighty accused Slow (of Slowbucks) of snitching to the police.
"#ShoutOut The coward @slowbucks For Snitching On the Homie Aka Tio #MikeyFingers!!!!!" he wrote. "These @slowbucks Cats talk about killing drugs and gangs But when the block Is flamming these be the same Cowards Snitching and pointing People Out... #Free my n---a #MikeyFingers!!!!"
While Lighty's tweets were directed at the wrong Twitter user, Slowbucks did respond via Instagram denying that he talked with authorities.
I [see] this #Snitching s--- is getting outta hand... Da news #Conference y'all viewed was not about #PressingCharges or anything like that it was about #Brand #Management!" he writes. "Da brand consultant was explaining Da case 2 a panel of P.R. In an attempt 2 try 2 pull some bread out 4 Da"SlowBucks" Brand.. However, the media will always show y'all what they want you 2 [see]. We not entertaining NO #Police @ all!! This is the last time I'm speaking on it...!!! #FACTS & Still #OE!"
Prior to the arrest, Slow held a press conference on Thursday (June 5) with his civil attorney to announced that he's investigating 50 Cent for brand tarnishment. Lawyer John P. Bostany of Bostany Law firm is considering legal action against the parties involved in the beatdown of Slow. Bostany says that the assault, which has been captured on video, hurts the Slowbucks brand, and that 50 Cent's clothing brand, G-Unit, is a direct competitor.
"They know he is the founder of Slowbucks, the No. 1 urban brand on the rise today," said Bostany. "They want to hurt that brand, and they are trying to hurt that brand. We are going to put an end to that. We're here. I'm a trademark attorney. I'm a copyright attorney and I fight unfair competition."
