The AUD/USD pair attempted to rally on Friday, but was turned away at the 1.03 level again for the second time in 48 hours. The candle shaped is a shooting star, and it is at the bottom of the previous consolidation area.
This suggests to us that we will see some type of breakdown in this market. If we can close below the 1.02 level, we think that this pair continues much lower, perhaps as low as the 0.97 handle.
With the Reserve Bank of Australia looking to cut rates a couple times between now and the end of winter, there is a good chance that the Australian dollar continues to lose its luster. The one thing that will keep the Australian dollar somewhat bullion is the fact that the gold markets are in such a bullish attitude.

Qatar: $41m tyre recycling plant now operational
Qatar's $41.3m Modern Recycling Factory in Mesaieed Industrial City will be used to recycle used tyres and rubber materials
Qatar's Modern Recycling Factory (MRF), based in Mesaieed Industrial City, is now operational.
The $41.3m (QAR150.06m) facility was financed and endorsed more than two years ago by Al Khalij Commercial Bank in support of Qatar's green-technology business sector.
At 20,000m2, MRF is one of the largest Greenfield recycling projects in the country. The plant will be used to recycle used tyres and rubber materials to make new products.
Akram Ibrahim, chief executive officer of MRF, said: "[This] is [a] first-of-its-kind project for recycling used tyres, which pose [a] serious threat to the environment.
"The project is a unique greenfield facility, which became a reality due to the vision of the promoters in line with Qatar National Vision 2030. MRF is thankful for the continuous support of Al Khalij Commercial Bank, government authorities, environmental agencies, technology partners, and suppliers."
Members of Al Khalij Commercial Bank were given a tour of the facility following the commencement of operations.
Speaking during the event, Fahad Al Khalifa, the bank's CEO, said: "As part of our 'Generation Green' programme […] the MRF project contributes to the production of environmentally friendly, value-added products for commercial and industrial use, while creating economic opportunities that contribute to diversifying state revenues."
MRF stakeholders are confident that the facility will serve to conserve energy, preserve natural resources, and reduce Qatar's need for raw materials.

When Mr. Sun Yat-sen was the Grand Marshal of the Chinese Revolutionary Government in Guangzhou, he felt that the suit style was cumbersome and inconvenient to wear; and that Chinese clothing had practical shortcomings, so he entrusted the owner of the Hanoi clothing store Huang Longsheng to design a beautiful, simple and practical Chinese clothing. Huang made reference to Western European and Japanese clothing styles, combined with the corporate collar jackets and student clothes that were popular among overseas Chinese at the time, and designed a garment that was Zhongshan. Sun Yat-sen suits were advocated by Sun Yat-sen, and because of their simplicity and practicality, they became popular with suits since the Revolution of 1911. 1912
Stand-up lapels, placket, five buttons on the front, four patch pockets and three buttons on the cuffs; These forms are actually exquisite, according to the etiquette and other contents of Zhou Dynasty in Yijing.
Zhongshan suits are rich in colors, in addition to the common blue and gray, there are camel, black, white, gray-green, beige and so on. Zhongshan suit has many advantages. It is mainly balanced and symmetrical in appearance, elegant in appearance, elegant and stable, convenient in movement, free in movement, and warm in body. It can be used as both a dress and casual clothes. Its disadvantages are tight neckline and stuck neck. Zhongshan outfit has attracted the favor of middle-aged and elderly people and overseas Chinese with its unique calm and sophisticated style. Especially intellectuals still regard Zhongshan outfit as their daily clothes.
Since the founding of New China, since the revolutionary leaders and revolutionary cadres all wore Zhongshan suits, the people also used this costume to express their welcome to the new era. Therefore, Zhongshan suits became widespread in society and became an iconic garment for Chinese menswear . Even on today s T-shaped tables, fashion clothes evolved from it can still be seen.

text: Rosyweb 3 Posted October 9, 2019 Hello all, so the problem is that the emails generated from the contact form are ending up in peoples spam folders, but the order emails direct from the system are getting through fine. I'm trying to work out why the filters differentiate these emails and if there is anything I can do to stop this. Has anyone else come across this problem? I wondered if it is because the contact form emails have a return path that is from the person filling in the form - rather than the return path being the website the email originates from? I'm using v188.8.131.52 CE but its not the version that is the problem its the email headers I guess. Many thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

|You are in: Programmes: Breakfast
Wednesday, 11 December, 2002, 06:49 GMT
Your ticket to the galaxy
This morning on Breakfast, a double helping of Star Trek.
The USS Enterprise's first and most famous captain, James T Kirk - alias the actor William Shatner - was a live guest on our main programme at around 8.40am.
And he stayed on to answer your emails, in a special 15-minute interactive forum.
William Shatner is in Britain to publicise the "Star Trek Adventure" which takes place at Hyde Park" from 18th December to the 31st January 2003.
He's the star of the original Gene Roddenberry Star Trek series, which began in the late 1960s.
And - in the programme's title sequence, he utters one of the most famous split infinitives of all time - "to boldly go where no man has gone before."
Find out how well William took that little nugget of information, by watching our interview with him on Breakfast.
Facts about William Shatner
His character Captain Kirk invariably solved intergalactic conflict between entire civilisations by slugging a lone bad guy across the jaw and kissing a *good/bad alien/human black/green (*delete as applicable) woman.
Impress your friends with the following Star Trek trivia
Star Trek obviously solicits all-out suspension of disbelief but it won't work. It was an incredible mess of dreary complexities and confusion at the kick-off.
Just how wrong can a critic be?
Over time the original cancellation of Star Trek has transformed itself from the unhappy ending of a story into the opening chapter of a far bigger tale, an astounding tale that's unsurpassed in the history of entertainment...

Blackpool's lifeboat among busiest
Volunteer lifeboat crews based in Blackpool were among the busiest in the North of England last year.
According to figures from the RNLI they made 92 launches and rescued 23 people.
Across the North, RNLI crews made almost a fifth more lifeboat launches in 2012 compared to the year before.
About half the rescues were to recreational craft, 22% were to people ashore, 15% to people in the water and 8% to fishing or other commercial vessels.
"The figures show that our volunteers dedicate a huge amount of their time to saving lives at sea. To know that they are on call 24/7, every day of the year is reassuring for all of us who venture out to sea around the UK and Ireland. "And it's not just our crew who are committed to our charity - they wouldn't be able to carry out their lifesaving work without the incredible generosity of the public and I would like to say a huge 'thank you' to all those who support the RNLI, whether by giving up their time or by making a donation."

Looking for a summer read for your young dancer? "Fancy Nancy Budding Ballerina" tells the story of Fancy Nancy, who loves her ballet class so much that she decides to teach her own classes to her family at home.
The story isn't particularly riveting. The illustrations on the other hand are quite good. We love that Nancy not only goes over the 5 positions of ballet, but also includes the terms:
- Arabesque
- Pirouette
- Plie
- Jete
Overall, we're giving Fancy Nancy, Budding Ballerina 3.5 stars.
Recommended for dancers ages 4-8. At $3.99 on Amazon it's hard to go wrong. The Salt Lake County Library system also has 28 copies in circulation.

Altron unit suspends three execs for irregularities allegations
Three senior executives of Altron Nexus, a subsidiary of JSE-listed technology company Altron, have been placed on precautionary suspension following an investigation that has revealed potential internal irregularities.
However, the company did not mention the names of the suspended executives.
Nonetheless, on its Web site, Alton Nexus has Brett Nash as managing director; Noel Watermeyer, sales executive; Sanjay Maharajh, sales executive; Mandla Booi, sales executive; JT Engelbrecht, operations executive; Kobus Greeff, finance executive; Sheethal Maharaj, human capital executive; and Mongezi Skosana, marketing executive.
The JSE-listed company says after receiving information from a whistleblower in June 2018, Altron appointed independent investigators to look into alleged procurement irregularities among a few senior executives within Altron Nexus.
The investigation found no evidence of irregularities but made recommendations on procurement process improvements and reporting obligations, which were implemented.
In June this year Altron says it received a second tip-off from a whistleblower on similar allegations. The company immediately initiated another investigation conducted by forensic services company, Naledi Advisory Services.
It says the preliminary findings have revealed potential deviation from procurement processes, involving an estimated R23 million, and early profit recognition of approximately R20 million in the 2018 financial year.
"We view these allegations in a serious light. Accordingly, this investigation is in line with our zero-tolerance to unethical conduct, despite the amounts not being material to Altron's financial position. Over the past three years, we have been steadfast in building a culture of good governance driven by our values of openness, honesty and integrity. Our employees are now able to come forward with any claims of misconduct without any fear of retaliation," says Altron group chief executive Mteto Nyati.
He adds: "We are following due process and the three executives may go through a disciplinary hearing, overseen by an independent chairman. While the investigation is on-going, we would like to assure our customers, partners and employees that plans have been put in place to ensure business continuity at Altron Nexus," Nyati says.
Tshwane broadband project
In June, Altron Nexus lost a court battle launched by the City of Tshwane over the city's multibillion-rand broadband project.
The City of Tshwane subjected the multibillion-rand broadband contract to judicial review after discovering what it says were serious irregularities, which "taint the legality of the deal".
Altron Nexus holds a jointly controlled interest in Thobela Telecoms, a special purpose vehicle through which the City of Tshwane contracted for the procurement and installation of a fibre broadband network in 2016.

Afghanistan's Islamic clerics have recommended that the Taleban leadership ask Osama bin Laden, a prime suspect in last week's terrorist attacks in the United States, to leave Afghanistan voluntarily.
The clerics issued an edict today (Thursday) after two days of meetings in Kabul to discuss the fate of Mr. bin Laden and the U-S threat of retaliatory military strikes.
The edict does not set a deadline, but says the Saudi exile should should leave within a reasonable time.
The edict says the clerics expressed sadness over the loss of life in the United States, but hope that Washington will not launch attacks against Afghanistan.
It says if the United States attacks Afghanistan, a jihad or holy war will become incumbent on all Muslims in accordance with Islamic law (sharia)
The clerics called for independent investigations by the United Nations and the Organization of Islamic Conference into terrorist attacks on New York and Washington.
Wednesday, the Taleban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar said Mr. bin Laden should not be extradited without proper evidence. He accused Washington of using the allegations against the Taleban "guest" as a pretext to destroy the Islamic government of Afghanistan.
President Bush has repeatedly said the battle against terrorism is not a war against the people of Afghanistan or the Muslim faith. But he said the United States will hunt down terrorists and also punish those who shelter them.

[Rescheduled] Brown Bag Seminar | Dr. Lydia Tymon | Powdery Mildew On Evergreen and Deciduous Rhododendron: Speciation In The Backyard*
October 14, 2019 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pmFree
Due to conflicts in scheduling, this lecture has been moved from October 9 to October 14.
Dr. Lydia Tymon, Associate in Research and Plant Pathologist at WSU NWREC. In the Pacific Northwest (PNW), both deciduous and evergreen rhododendron occur sympatrically as landscape plants, and given their distinct overwintering strategies, it is possible that the number of powdery mildew fungi colonizing and infecting Rhododendron species in the PNW has been underestimated. Powdery mildew fungi infecting deciduous and evergreen rhododendron were collected from western Oregon, Washington, and Canada and morphologically and molecularly characterized. Analyses of concatenated ITS and 28S sequence data showed that powdery mildew fungi separate into two clades, suggesting that isolates infecting evergreen rhododendron are distinct from those infecting deciduous rhododendron.

Dallas~Toy Yorkie $2299.00
Gender: MaleAllergy Scale: 2 - Might WorkActivity Level: ActiveShedding: Will Not Shed Expected Size: 5-7 lbs.
There three in this litter, we are selling one male and one female. Mom is a black and tan Yorkie and she weighs 8#. Dad is a black and tan Yorkie and he weighs 5#. We will be selling this litter as pet quality and companion only; they are pure bred but will come with no papers for breeding rights.
About This Breed:
The Yorkshire Terrier, known also as a Yorkie, is mainly known for its long flowing and silky coat. They come to us from Yorkshire England. Although they were breed for ratting out the granaries, that is not there current function here in the states, far from it. Don't be surprised to find something at your door step, they are still a terrier. The Yorkie is an excellent companion who will bond very tightly to you. They will do well with a family environment but they will have their favorite. A Yorkie is known for picking one member of the family as their own. They do have an independent lifestyle and mindset. They are a small terrier who is afraid of nothing and thinks they are a Pit Bull. A Yorkie is brave and bold and will alert you to strangers or caution. The Yorkie is considered courageous, active if raised that way and are very intelligent. They are loving, vigilant and alert. They will make a good alarm system. A Yorkie will do well with children and other pets if you socialize them to that type of lifestyle. Due to their smaller size they will not take well to rough housing from the kids or anyone for that matter. Please instruct the children how to properly handle this small of a dog. In fact this is more of a Momma dog and not really for the kids. Most of their activity and playfulness will be met in the house. They will enjoy going for short walks but it won't be a necessity. They will also enjoy going outside very much to play in the back yard and help with the yard work. Training a Yorkie may be a challenge as they tend to be very stubborn and obstinate. Keep in mind they are independent thinking dogs, they will do it when they want. You will want to be very consistent and patient with them. Do it over and over and over and they will know what you want of them. Use praise and love for the good they do and a firm NO for the not so good. For the first time owner, puppy classes will be a must. A Yorkie is a non-shedding dog and will need to be combed out several times a week with a slicker brush or hard comb. Watch for matting on the back of the legs and around the ears. They will also need to go to the groomers about every 10 to 12 weeks so your groomer can wash, clip, trim their nails and pluck any hair out of their ears. Their hair does grow a little slower than some of the other non-shedding dogs. A Yorkie is a great companion and a wonderful dog that will be waiting for you to arrive home every time. One of my little house buddies is a T-Cup Yorkie and yes she is spoiled!

eBay's mission is to be the world's favourite destination for discovering great value and unique selection
eBay just turned in record eBay quarterly earnings with revenues of almost $2.9 billion and net profits of $670 million.
In what might be seen as a bribe against the ramifications of Elliott's letter complaining about company performance (which eBay declined to discuss in the earnings call), eBay have announce their first ever quarterly dividend of $0.14 per share from March 2019 and the expectation that they will return approximately $7.0 billion to shareholders through dividends and repurchases over the next two years. eBay expect approximately $5.5 billion to be returned in 2019.
"We delivered record earnings for the fourth quarter and full year 2018. In 2019, our focus will be on further improvements to the eBay user experience, while pursuing significant long-term growth opportunities in advertising and payments. We are confident in the strength of our business and future growth prospects, as demonstrated by our decision to institute eBay's first-ever dividend and increase our share repurchase program."
– Devin Wenig, President and CEO, eBay Inc
eBay revealed that part of their growth is due to stinging sellers for more fees. Revenue from eBay Promoted Listings has exploded with 150% growth and around $80 million revenue. Now, 600,000 sellers are paying additional fees to promote 200 million listings. To put that into perspective eBay have around 1.1 billion listings so sellers are coughing up an additional fee to promote almost 1 in every 5 listings live on eBay. eBay expect the adoption of Promoted Listings to increase further in 2019 describing the revenue stream as already 'scaling nicely' and 'we expect it to continue to scale'.
eBay promoted listings are currently displayed in the 1st, 4th and 5th positions in eBay search. This means that a seller with a low quality listing can buy the 1st position in search results and be positioned to buyers ahead of the best quality most relevant listing from the highest quality seller in natural Best Match search results. One might ask why bother trying to get a quality listing when a low quality listing can buy its way to the top… and it looks like with almost 1 in 5 listings promoted plenty of sellers are prepared to pay.
The result of these additional fees to eBay have seen their net income running at around 23% of their revenues for the 4th quarter of 2018.
*its way to the top
The problem for sellers is that Ebay's focus has shifted on increasing revenue for THEM, as opposed to increasing sales on the site, which benefits both Ebay AND sellers.
This is bad news, not just because sellers can expect the trend for sharp fee rises under Wenig to continue. But because the prospect of Ebay growing significantly in the future is nil.
Essentially, this means sellers will be paying more for less.
The best thing any seller can do is to make sure they are not 100% reliant on Ebay.
Everyone selling on Ebay needs to have a separate income source to survive.
If talk of carpetbaggers on the board trying to break Ebay up is correct, then the end for Ebay could come quickly. Once the tailspin starts it will be impossible to stop.
Spot on Andy.
Ebay….. you must offer the best service, bets price, best delivery, best everything… we insist or else we will punish you…
Then we will allow those failing on these points to under cut you and get higher rankings for a small fee, which is proberly worthwhile due to the savings they make by not having to jump through all ebays hoops.
This will be great for the buyer experience, which will plummet and we will hammer decent sellers already hitting our targets to try and hide our lack of any intelligence…
Sounds like a plan!
Ebays` get rich quick scheme is doing just fine (for themselves and for now). Lets see where they stand in 5 years time when everyone has tried promoting everything (therefore negating any advantage of doing so) and all the buyers have gone. Amazon mk2 you aint and never will be Ebay – try getting used to the idea and get back to what you WERE good at.
A new glitch on eBay for 2+ orders sent as one parcel.
"This tracking number is already associated with another active delivery. "
Anybody else seeing this problem?
@ Tyler , yes I have seen this. if you combine the orders it should allow the same tracking number for each item – this giving you "two" positive metrics.
@alan paterson
Before Christmas I was able to combine orders and manually add the tracking number to the 2nd / third order as Royal Mail updated the tracking info for the first.
So, 20 minutes going through the Contact Us page questions before it would let me call them, other than that it was ask the community.
25 minutes speaking with somebody who did not really understand English before being put through to a specialist who also did not really understand English or the problem. He
After 30 minutes talking to the specialist who seemed to think it would be ok to just mark the item as dispatched without adding tracking. He finally understood and will look into it.
I had to demonstrate the problem by showing him a combined order that I did before Christmas to show two orders with identical tracking numbers.
Unless you are able to give them an example they really struggle to understand that eBay system has a fault.
One I often get is anything returned via Parcelforce. The moment it is picked up or dropped off at a Post Office I get an email saying parcel is on it's way back to you then at the same time get another email saying parcel delivered. The problem then is eBays two day must refund buyer kicks in where a buyer can phone up and say they have not received a refund and eBay then automatically refund them without checking the Parcelforce tracking.
All we ask for is a site that works and a system that is fair.
eBay is still full of glitches on their mobile app. When I try to enter shipping information for worldwide shipping I get taken to a blank page to where I am unable to enter the Postal classification (ie First Class worldwide). I called about this and was finally able to speak to someone, but I could barely understand what she was saying. Then I was told there was nothing they could do about it.
EBay is just ripping off sellers outright now. They make more profit per item than the seller does. It's a disgrace. Pure greed.
eBay's mission is to be the world's favourite destination for discovering great value and unique selection

I'm so glad you guys are my friends from afar today, really this whole week. To say I've been under the weather is an understatement. My immunocompromised little self could barely handle elementary school germs, now we have middle school germs and they are pretty mean. Whew, let me tell ya. I'll be the first to say I'm a warrior, I believe anyone with chronic illness is, but this mess has been horrendous. #lupussucks
Being creative usually helps me feel better, so I decided to show my Tigers some love with a purple and orange eye look usinrg the Solar Flare palette by BH Cosmetics.
Today we play the Aggies.🐅🧡
I don't know, I feel like my look looked more orange and less mud earlier, now that I'm looking at it, the purple was a little more vivid as well, I might should have a white base or a primer. I used 4 shadows from the palette. I used Magnetic on the outer half of my lid and kept it tight under my crease. Then I packed Gamma Ray on top of that and brought it in just passed where I left off with Magnetic. I used a flat shader brush to pack Fireball on the inner third of the lid. I used the same sequence of shadows on my lower lash line. I lined my inner rim with the Loreal Infallible Long Wear Pencil in Nude and finished up the look with Hard Candy 1000 Lashes in the purple shade. This mascara did NOTHING for my lashes, so I went over that with Catrice Lashes to Kill in Black. I used the lightest shade in the BH Titanium Palette to highlight my brow bone and my cheeks. AND my nose, and my inner corners….and……..lol, to the stars my friends. To the stars. (I went back in a little later with Beam from Solar Flare and touched up my brow bone highlight.
Goooooo Tigers! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

We slowed sales from 2010 till 2017. We slowed sales because we had made a mistake, we added to many features in an unorganized manner. So we focused on serving our existing clients, and refining our systems. What had happened is we had added so many features for so many different clients in a less than organized way that our software had grown difficult to use and hard to support.
We have refined event setup so that simple events can be setup and accepting registrations in just a few minutes. Complex events that might have hundreds of classes, dozens of meal options and even more break out sessions might take a few hours to fully upload and test. However if your upload file is well organized your huge complex event could also be operational in just a few minutes.
We also simplified our white labeling technology. Before we could make our system look just like your site but it could take a few hours or even a few days. Now? it's as fast as installing the WordPress plugin and clicking activate (note you might spend ten minutes or so creating your account).
Security we only use SSL no exceptions before it was optional if you did not accept credit cards. Now the SSL is on 100% of the time and it's free.
We have also changed our billing we were $5 per registration which was fine if your tickets where in the $500+ range but a bit high if you are only charging $50 and crazy if you were charging less. Now we are a flat 2%. How that works out if your fee to your client is $100 we charge you $2. If you charge $10 then we charge you $0.20 cents.

John Paulson's hedge fund, which a little less than a decade ago was the most desired place for buyside employment on Wall Street, is imploding.
Just days after the Post reported that the firm fired its heads of equity and credit trading amid freefalling P&L as the one-hit wonder has so far failed to repeat the success of his blockbuster subprime megatrade, amid shrinking AUM which has tumbled from $38bn in 2011 to under $10bn now (of which 80% is Paulson' own money), today Paulson Capital took a decisive step to becoming a family office - or perhaps just shutting down - when, as Bloomberg reported the fund's gold and special situations hedge funds are returning client capital "as the firm narrows its focus."
Additionally, one of the firm's Credit Opportunities funds is also forcing clients to redeem, according to Bloomberg sources, although a second credit fund - arguably the better performing one - will remain open, and investors have the option of moving their money into that offering. Investors can also switch into the merger-focused Pure Spread fund and the European Event Equities fund. They probably won't.
Amid the termination of its core traders and the return of capital, Paulson hopes to return to his roots of merger arb and distressed investing, as Bloomberg previously reported.
So is the inevitable next step downsizing to a family office and returning all outside capital?
For now, he has no plans to turn the firm into a family office, and is re-focusing on distressed debt and merger arbitrage, people close to Paulson say. A representative for the firm declined to comment about changes to the funds.
"We are rightsizing the firm to focus on our core expertise in areas that are growing," the fund said in a statement on Friday, a euphemism for scrambling to do anything in our power to avoid a forced liquidation of all our positions.
For now Paulson's equity funds are said to remain operational, which is why we will save a table of Paulson's top 10 positions until the liquidation actually begins.

Like many kids, Amir Hirsch '06, SM '07 grew up playing with LEGOs. But unlike many adults, Hirsch is still playing with LEGOs as part of his job as CEO and co-founder of Flybrix. Started in 2015, the company sells kits for kids and adults alike to build their own reusable drones out of LEGO bricks. "It lets you tinker around with LEGOs, come up with a design you like, and see it fly."
But what goes up must come down. The average Flybrix drone can stay up for five minutes. "Most of the time when I'm flying something, people ask that I crash it into the wall," said Hirsch. "Because they all want to see it shatter into a lot of pieces." All of the kit's pieces can be reused to build another drone.
To date, Hirsch has only lost one drone. "I flew one that's just above the white board [of our office]…it's not accessible unless you take down the wall."
In addition to the LEGOs, Flybrix kits come with all the parts necessary to build a drone and make it fly including a fully routed Arduino board, LiPo battery, and motors.
Learning opportunities abound. Builders gain insight into the aerodynamics of the drone's fan, the electromechanics necessary to control a motor, and the basics of flight including balance and feedback. According to Hirsch, such concepts become much clearer when actually building a drone from hand. "You really feel the feedback system trying to keep it stable," he says.
In 2016, the company sold more than 8,000 drone kits online and hopes to be in many national retail chains this December. While they primarily target kids 14 and older, Hirsch says he expects interest from other areas. "I bet you that retired pilots are our best demographic." Flybrix has sold nearly 500 units to school systems around the world including many in STEM-focused school programs in Australia.
This is not Hirsch's first startup. In 2011, he founded Zigfu, which received startup funding through Ycombinator and built an application programming interface (API) to aid developers in motion games and gesture user interfaces. Prior to that, he founded an educational iPad app company.
He recalls advice from an MIT alumnus as integral to his career, even before he caught the startup bug. "You have to think about building up a market approach for how to get customers…and how to use technology to build a defensible position," he said. He summarized the conversation in a 2013 blog post that was later picked up by Forbes. "Technology is not a prerequisite for business success, but marketing is," he concluded.

Pet Food Supplier Looks to Flies for Sustainability
Pet food ingredient manufacturer Darling Ingredients is teaming up with bioengineering firm Intrexon to mass produce sustainable nutrients derived from black soldier fly larvae.
The venture, known as EnviroFlight, will involve the construction of a new production facility designed to convert black fly larvae into protein and other nutrients for pet food and other applications. The facility, for which construction began last month, is expected to be operational by early 2018.
The use of insect-derived nutrients as a food ingredient has become a recurring subject for pet food manufacturers seeking to improve sustainability. Advances in research have made less conventional nutrient sources — such as insects and aquatic plants — increasingly viable ways to meet the demands of both animals and humans.
"Leveraging more than eight years of applied research and development, the new facility will employ our industrial BSF platform and opens the door to a sustainable source of high quality nutrients for the aquaculture, livestock and specialty pet feed industries."
— Glen Courtright, President and Founder, EnviroFlight
Despite advances in the science, many of these alternative nutrient sources still face hurdles before they are ready for market. The Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO), a group that helps to inform and shape policy, recently indicated that definitions for insect-based ingredients would need to be established before they should be deemed acceptable. So far, black soldier fly larvae are the only insect to have been defined in this way.

Last week, Melanie decided to forgo the little plastic flossing tool to better floss Whitney's back teeth before bed. We're not exactly sure what happened next, but Whitney got very scared or angry and bit down on Melanie's finger. It must have been some kind of reflex, because she bit down very hard and she wasn't in control enough to let go. Melanie shouted in pain and Whitney got even more agitated. After a few seconds, that seemed much longer, Melanie used her other hand to pry Whitney's mouth open and pull her finger out. It was bleeding and pretty sore.
I've got to hand it to Melanie, she had the presence of mind to comfort Whitney, who didn't intend to hurt her. Had it been me, I don't know if I'd have been able to hold my temper. I hope so.
Melanie also did her best to help Whitney understand what had just happened and that she had hurt Mommy. She was able to calm Whitney down and get her to go to bed.
Since then, Melanie's finger has healed and things have returned to normal. But this experience was a good reminder to us. Sometimes Whitney just doesn't realize the consequences of her actions. We're definitely back to the plastic, fun flosser tools at bed time and we're going to try harder to teach our little girl that what she does affects others. We want to do everything possible to keep Whit from hurting herself and those around her, especially when she doesn't mean to.

Couples are dreaming of a perfect wedding. Some are even planning the most important day of their lives years in advance. They cannot afford any setbacks, so every bit of detail must be properly set and no bad surprises must happen.
Ohio-based Sarah and Josh are a couple that match the aforementioned description. First of all, they have decided to get married near their home in Ohio. Then they have chosen Gabe McClintock as their wedding photographer, even though the artist is based in Alberta, Canada.
The couple convinced Gabe to come to Ohio and the photographer agreed. However, as the wedding day was nearing, things were not feeling good. The stress was too much to bear for Sarah and Josh, who realized that this was not what they wanted for the wedding.
After a lot of deliberation, the couple has decided that their wedding must take place in Iceland, regardless of what their families and friends would say. They revealed the "news" to Gabe, who said "yes" rather quickly as he always dreamed of visiting the Scandinavian country. The results cannot be described using simple words, but if it were to choose two, then we would go for "glorious" and "epic".
Photographer Gabe McClintock reveals stunning photos captured at a wedding in Iceland
A camera is only as good as the person holding it, they say. A top-notch camera does not turn you into a good photographer. However, we have to admit that you stand much better chances at grabbing great photos in beautiful places, such as Iceland.
After getting married, Sarah and Josh have hopped in a car and have driven to the outskirts of Reykjavik. The background proved to be simply amazing with majestic mountains, waterfalls, lava fields, plains, while the clouds have contributed to the project with their dramatic effects.
Gabe McClintock has created a series of amazing photos that will last forever in the memories of the newly-weds. The couple could not have been happier with how things turned out and they can be proud of some of the best wedding photos ever taken.
Sarah, Josh, and their wedding photographer have expressed their delight at the results
Sarah and Josh say that your wedding must be about "you" as a couple. Friends and family are playing an important role in your life, but you are the one getting married, so your wedding day should not be among your list of regrets in life.
These photos are proof of the "raw beauty, timeless class", and the love between Sarah and Josh, which is something they have had in mind for their dream wedding.
As a piece of advice, the couple says that you should not be spending more money than you have. They consider themselves to be lucky to have traveled to Iceland in order to unite their destinies.
Gabe McClintock is apparently sharing similar feelings, as he is claiming that Iceland has been on his "must visit" list of countries. More photos can be found at the photographer's official website.

Board of Supervisors Gives More Support to Consumers
San Diego - In the latest in a series of efforts to fight the dramatically escalating energy prices, the Board of Supervisors is lending its support to a federal measure aimed at eliminating the preferential treatment now given to public power agencies and municipalities. Led by Chairwoman Dianne Jacob and Supervisor Greg Cox, the Board unanimously voted to support the Fairness in Electricity Supply Act of 2000 authored by Congressman Brian Bilbray (CA-49) and designed to bring a long-term solution for San Diego County consumers.
Noting that Congressman Bilbray's bill will help address the long-term needs of San Diego County consumers, Chairwoman Dianne Jacob stated, "San Diego County is on the brink of human and economic disaster! We have an emergency and time is of the essence. It's important that we do all we can to stop this gouging. Congressman Brian Bilbray's bill, The Fairness in Electricity Supply Act of 2000, will provide another option to help save consumers," she added.
Over the last few months, San Diego County residents and business owners have seen an unprecedented increase in their electric bills.
"There is an urgent need for action from our federal government to address this crisis," said Supervisor Greg Cox. He continued, "what we're talking about is not a quick fix, but a well thought-out and permanent solution to help San Diego County residents." Supervisor Cox also made note of the steps the County is taking to reduce electricity usage to lower costs for "a user where the taxpayer pays the bill."
Congressman Bilbray, speaking on behalf of the Fairness in Electricity Supply Act of 2000 stated, "I'd like to thank the Board of Supervisors for taking this proactive step in helping me to help the consumer."
The Fairness in Electricity Supply Act of 2000, authored by Congressman Bilbray, would give private-and investor-owned utilities like SDG&E the same purchasing advantage already enjoyed by public power agencies. The measure will soon be introduced and is expected to move quickly through Congress.
The Board of Supervisors action today is the latest in a series of efforts to seek a long-term solution to the outrageously high and dramatically increasing energy prices experienced by San Diego county consumers. On July 25, 2000, the Board declared a State of Emergency due to escalating energy rates. Chairwoman Jacob and Vice-Chairman Roberts were part of the local delegation that appeared before the California Public Utilities Commission last week.

Discover the Alzheimer Village in the Landes
This year a village dedicated to people affected by Alzheimer's disease should open doors in France
- January 07, 2019 09:30
- Aseniya Dimitrova
An innovative project seeks to make the lives of people affected by Alzheimer's disease in France more bearable. As the first activities were undertaken in 2014, it is until the end of 2019 that the Landais Alzheimer's village should be opened. Oriented to those who cannot afford to go to a private institution or cannot stay at home, the village will offer several assets to ensure the well-being of people suffering from the mental illness.
According to preliminary estimates, the Village Landais Alzheimer will welcome 120 residents, including 10 under the age of 60, accompanied by 120 staff and 120 volunteers. The staff will have multidisciplinary profile, including doctors, nurses, gerontologists, psychologists, etc., who are normally in the process of recruitment.
The aim of the ingenious project is to transform the social perception of the disease, which concerns a significant part of the elderly. The village will therefore offer a welcoming architecture, fostering close ties with the family continuously and allowing integration into the urban city. The city of Dax where the village is located is well developed economically and socially and is accessible by railway from Bordeaux (1h15), allowing residents, staff and volunteers to maintain the link between the village and the outside world.
The non-medical activities available in the centre will make it possible to better preserve the cognitive capacities of the inhabitants, by supporting an active, social life and at the same time - supervised by an authorized staff. Residents can therefore perform regular activities freely, such as going to the hairdresser, going to the restaurant, visiting cultural programs. The absence of reminiscences to medical institutions and medical symbols makes the place even more pleasant and unique.
The project in the Landes department is inspired by a similar village De Hogeweyk already exists in the Netherlands, mediatised in 2013. The former is realized with the help of 10 partners and its cost is estimated at 28.8 M euro in constructions and 6.7M euro per year.

On last week's episode of Scandal, the world finally found out about Fitz Grant and Olivia Pope's affair when Sally Langston outed them on national TV and had the receipts to prove it. This week's episode picks up right where we left off. Fitz wants to make a joint statement with Olivia confirming their love to the world, but Olivia immediately skips town and, like Beyoncé and Jay Z, goes on the run.
After Fitz realizes that Olivia doesn't want this life, he tells Olivia that he loves her too much to ask her to throw away her whole life for him and invites Mellie Grant back into the White House. But just when you were wondering why you still watch Scandal, in a literal last-minute twist, Olivia finally and definitively came out of the dark, dingy, dusty mistress closet. When a gaggle of reporters asked her point-blank if she was having an affair with Fitz, Olivia responded with a powerful one-word answer: Yes.
This is the game changer that fans have been waiting on for four seasons and counting! Before we move on to the next leg of this drama, here are five takeaways from episode 2:
1. Olivia can't even sidepiece right. If, as Cookie Lyon told Anika on Empire last week, "You can't even dyke right," then Olivia can't even sidepiece right. After all these years she was sidepiecing, Fitz is finally able to make an honest woman out of her and Olivia has a case of cold feet? Most mistresses have been gunning for the No. 1 spot their entire tenure, but when finally given the chance, Olivia dips out of the White House and takes on a case of the week that leads her out of town as she attempts to lay low from the bloodthirsty reporters. (The case of the week isn't worth mentioning at all, but how great Olivia looked in the disguise she created from Quinn Perkins' T-shirt, leather jacket and baseball hat certainly is.)
Mellie was right when she told Fitz that Olivia is not just a mistress now, "she's America's mistress," and maybe Olivia realized that that's not what she wanted on her Wikipedia page for all eternity. Although Olivia ultimately decided to free herself from shame and stand boldly before the nation and declare her sidepieceship, it's clear that while Olivia knows exactly what she's doing as America's No. 1 fixer, she doesn't quite know how to be America's No. 1 sidepiece.
2. Jake Ballard is still the human equivalent of hoop earrings. When Jake followed Olivia all the way to an island 100 miles off the coast of Zanzibar at the end of season 3—only to follow her right back to Washington, D.C., where she went back into Fitz's arms at the beginning of season 4—I compared Jake to a pair of hoop earrings, the backup pair of earrings that you keep in your purse and pull out only to wear on those occasions when you can't find your favorite pair.
When Jake showed up to help Olivia solve her case of the week and ended up agreeing to her request that he spoon her while she cried mistress tears—which are almost but not quite as offensive as white tears—I booed at the screen. He soothed her by saying, "Loving the president isn't a crime," and encouraged her to do what felt right, which apparently was to come out to the world. Audible sigh. Jake continues to be Olivia's ultimate fallback accessory. Can Jake puh-leease get his own girlfriend this season?
3. Abby Whelan needs to lean in. Throughout this episode, Abby kept urging Fitz to make a statement to the press about the veracity of those affair rumors, but Fitz wouldn't do it without Olivia. After Cyrus Beene advised her to "Bring Mellie back to the White House. Be the adult," Abby went behind Elizabeth North's back and over Fitz's head and announced to the press that the president and first lady's marriage was intact. Abby took a stand, so it seemed …
You see, in this episode, David Rosen was reduced to "Dave the IT Guy" when Fitz asked him to scan Mellie's computer to figure out if she leaked the photos. In the process, David apparently found some interesting gems in Mellie's email correspondence, and he turned them over to Abby.
Instead of snitching on Lizzy, extorting her for money and/or getting rid of Lizzy altogether, Abby only asked Lizzy if she would just treat Abby like her equal going forward. That's all? Abby didn't even ask Lizzy to pick up her dry cleaning first? What a letdown. Hopefully the stacks of emails that David gave Abby are the new B613 files and Abby has a slick plan to use them that she hasn't revealed yet. Hopefully.
4. Love triumphs over hate. Cyrus hates Lizzy. And Lizzy hates Mellie. And all three of them hate Olivia because her sheer existence puts their relationship to the White House in jeopardy. And all three of them love power more than they hate one another. If and when these three form an alliance to take down Olivia once and for all, it's going to get ugly, and it's doubtful that Fitz, who has proved time and time again to be the weakest link, will be able to protect her. It's a good thing Jake is still around.
5. Huck and Quinn blah, blah, blah. Quinn was mad at Huck for being a psycho killer, but Huck was like, "I'm fixed," but then he grabbed a pencil and almost killed a reporter with it, and Quinn was like, "No, you're not … but that's OK … because I'm a psycho killer, too." She loves him. He hates her. She's his sister. He's her lover. We don't know … or care. I hope they put this conflict to bed once and for all.
How quickly do you think Olivia will regret coming out to the world as the president's mistress?

I LOVE TO READ!! I will read just about anything I can get my hands on… non-fiction, self-help, mysteries, dramas, comedies, oh and COOKBOOKS!! I will spend hours diving into a new cookbook. Not to mention magazines!!! Yes, I love print!!
I thought I would share some reading materials I have lately delved into. Each offering something different.
Right now, I am engrossed in this awesome young lady. She tells the true story of her life growing up in Swat, a country located between Afghanistan and Pakistan and the tragic changes her country and people went through, especially after 911.
She overcomes a lot of adversity and is remarkable in her strength at such a young age. Plus, I am really coming to understand more clearly how our government and their governments were all involved specifically. It is very interesting. (I have to go back from time to time to reread names, because some look/sound so similar.)She actually was a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize!Another book I can't put down as of late is Pretty Happy by Kate Hudson. She uses Ayurvedic practices like I do, along with practical self-help advice to be the woman you want and loving yourself from the inside out. She also mentions eating an alkaline-based diet, which I had heard about but now understand more clearly.
It is an actual workbook of sorts with four pillars to live by all going along with meditation and yoga, eating whole foods, exercising and self-love.
She has done her research ya'll and knows what she's talking about!Speaking of yoga, I bought this book that was actually written in the 60's and was so popular that is was reprinted. It is written by an actual Indian yogi that is so flexible that I had to do some double-takes on some of these poses.See what I mean. This book explains the practice of yoga, not just the physical but the mental and also explains in details, with pictures as you can see, each pose, the history behind it and how to perform it. This book also explains breathing practices, which apparently, I was doing all wrong! This is a great book that you can pick up and read occasionally like I have been doing. And, if you are into yoga, you can try some new poses and work on mastering them.My latest cookbook is this. Rourke gifted me an Instant Pot for Mother's Day and I needed help getting started. This book really explains how to use it properly with great helpful hints. It also has some delicious-looking recipes!Okay, if you haven't read any of Jojo Moyes' books, you need to! I have read every one of her books and have not been able to put them down. This book is the third in this series. The first was made into a motion picture. I can't wait to put my hands on this one!!This is the first book of this trilogy. This is basically a soap opera in book form. It goes back and forth between Chinese characters all related in one way or another. I couldn't put this down. It is comedic in showing how stinking rich these Asians are and how they live their oh-so over-the-top lives so dramatically.
I can't wait to see this movie when it releases. And, I am dying to read the next two books in this series.
This would also make a great book club read!
What are you reading this summer? Any recommendations? Always excepting new reads!!
Book details: I Am Malala, Pretty Happy, Light On Yoga, The Essential Instant Pot Cookbook, Still Me, Crazy Rich Asians

I would have to say my favorite part of Playland is the girlfriend experience room for many reasons! We have the Wii game system for us to have fully nude game time for extended periods of time. There's a huge TV which is great for porn, or even just laying back on the couch with some popcorn and candy to cuddle and watch a few movies. Then when you're ready to be naughty there's the Tantric Sex Chair which has up to 600 available positions on it and up to 5 people to play with them all!
Now if you really want to spoil yourself you book out every room in Playland and party in every room! We can start off in the locker room where we met for the first time and you took advantage of me, turning me into your personal slut. Then off to classroom, since you've already had me in the looker room I now have to make sure you are happy to keep my grades up, next I've graduated and you gave me a job at your new firm, and snuck a camera underneath my desk. If I want to keep my job I have make sure my boss is very, very happy and since I was a naughty little girl in school you already have me used to pleasing you just the way you like. After a long day at work my boss must be tired so of course I have to go over to your in house spa to give you a proper massage, happy ending included of course, and then to role-play the Geisha girl where I am your dirty little sex slave. After years of you taking advantage of me I end up your girlfriend, cuddling on the couch and pleasing you on our Tantric sex chair! Now that is the ultimate fantasy!

Do your patients know they can still get a flu shot?
Every year in December, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) promote National Influenza Vaccination Week, a national awareness week focused on highlighting the importance of the influenza vaccination.
National Influenza Vaccination Week takes place Dec. 3-9, 2017.
Historically, flu vaccination rates taper off after Thanksgiving. But National Influenza Vaccination Week is designed to counter this trend. Flu shots can still protect your patients even if they don't get vaccinated until late in the season.
This year, keep your pharmacy's flu shot services going throughout the winter to provide your patients with maximum protection against the flu.
As of November 2016, the CDC estimated that 24 percent of adults and almost 4 percent of children received their flu shot at a pharmacy.
Take advantage of National Influenza Vaccination Week in your pharmacy to promote your flu shot services.
Register your pharmacy with services that help consumers find vaccination sites near them, like the HealthMap Vaccine Finder. (Register your pharmacy here.)
The HealthMap Vaccine Finder makes it easy for consumers looking for flu shots to find your pharmacy. Consumers simply enter their zip code to find locations near them.
Information displayed includes:
Consider doing something extra during National Influenza Vaccination Week to make sure all your patients have the opportunity to get vaccinated.
Ideas to help patients get vaccinated:
You don't need to spend a fortune to promote your flu shot services. You can promote National Influenza Vaccination Week for free.
For example, post signs in your local public library, community center and restaurant community boards. Advertising these messages will remind people that they can still get vaccinated and that your pharmacy can help.
Or, use these 25 free resources from the CDC to promote flu prevention. Download and print flyers, posters, fact sheets, Spanish-language materials and more.
Post about your vaccination services on your pharmacy's Facebook and Twitter accounts using the hashtag #VaxWithMe. When you use that hashtag, you can connect your pharmacy with the national movement promoting flu vaccines.
Let your patients know about your National Influenza Vaccination Week celebrations. And, invite them to join in. They even can upload their own #VaxWithMe selfies.
The CDC offers health providers a toolkit of materials to help them promote National Influenza Vaccination Week
Materials in the toolkit include:
The CDC will host a chat on Twitter to address flu prevention on Monday, Dec. 4 at 1 p.m. EST.
Join in the conversation to help spread the message and promote your pharmacy. Use the hashtag #FightFluChat.
The National Foundation for Infectious Diseases (NFID) (@NFIDVaccines); Wendy Sue Swanson, M.D., MBE of Seattle Children's (@SeattleMamaDoc); and the CDC (@CDCFlu) will host this year's chat.
By partnering with the CDC and National Influenza Vaccination Week, you can help your patients stay healthy this flu season. And, you can keep them coming to your pharmacy for all of their health and wellness needs.

Vram's Professional and Personal Renaissance
Los Angeles--Vram Minassian spent 30 years behind the scenes as a private-label jewelry designer and manufacturer before launching his namesake collection, and the move was precipitated by an even greater change in his personal life.
The year prior to launching Vram, he became a father to a daughter, Elsa.
"She was my first child and, as many people know, with a newborn in the house your whole routine and perspective changes," Minassian explained. "I was experiencing that for the first time at 51 years of age and it proved to be an incredible catalyst for my creativity. Even though I was exhausted I would find myself dreaming up new designs and sketching them in the middle of the night."
His first collection came out in the summer of 2016. This year, he launched Continuum 3, his third collection.
"My designs might be equally impactful carved into wood or scaled 10 feet tall in stainless steel." – Vram MinassianMinassian is a designer who considers form before materials.
"I've been collecting sculpture for my whole adult life. My main area of interest is 20th century modernism. When I moved to my current studio I populated it with my collection so the influence is literally omnipresent," he said. "My designs might be equally impactful carved into wood or scaled 10 feet tall in stainless steel."
Minassian's initial curving, lush statement pieces have given way to more primal, reigned-in pieces in the third collection.
"This collection has an intentionally prehistoric sensibility," he said. "I deliberately kept the gold more textural and the shapes more asymmetrical. A lot of people are saying it reminds them of bones. I don't particularly think of bones, but if they see bones, then in some sense that's what it becomes, at least for them. Maybe it is something else for you. My question is—knowing it came from a million places that none of us can know for sure, does it speak to you and can wearing it help you express something about yourself?"
While materials may not be the first step in Minassian's design process, they are, nonetheless, treated with the artist's same meticulousness.
He works with his own alloy of 18-karat yellow gold and mixes in pieces in white gold, silver and rhodium plating. His third collection features rubies, emeralds, sapphires, zircons, tourmalines, agate and black and white diamonds, plus carved lotus prayer beads.
Minassian is pleased that much of his third collection, the rings and cuffs specifically, is unisex; he's been wearing one of the rings since he conceived it three years ago.
He will be bringing his decidedly unique voice to Couture for the first time this year.
Vram's Continuum 3 collection starts at $1,340 and caps off at $60,000.

These 18-karat yellow gold and diamond hoops were carefully constructed to rest at the most flattering angle to the wearer's ear.
