We have written to the European Commission arguing that there is no proven need for the UK's Capacity Market – and that as designed, it favours coal and gas power plants over cleaner technologies.
Our observations come as the European Commission is deciding whether to re-approve the Capacity Market as a State aid. It is totally inappropriate for the scheme to be approved at a time when the UK Parliament has declared a climate emergency, and when the UK's Climate Change Committee has called for a net zero greenhouse gas emissions target by 2050.
A legal quagmire: the story so far
The Capacity Market was originally approved by the European Commission in 2014 and was the first such scheme ever to receive State aid approval. It covers most of the United Kingdom, but not Northern Ireland (and so is more accurately referred to as Great Britain's Capacity Market; for simplicity, we refer to the UK throughout this piece).
The Commission's State aid approval was challenged in the EU courts by Tempus Energy, a 'demand-side response' management company. Tempus argued that the Commission had rushed through its State aid approval without properly considering whether the Capacity Market discriminated in favour of fossil fuels (gas, coal and diesel generators), and against cleaner technologies, such as storage and demand-side management.
We agree with Tempus's arguments – the Commission only spent one month investigating this huge scheme, and did not listen to any third parties, only the arguments of the UK government.
It refused to conduct an in-depth investigation, which could have lasted up to 18 months, and would have considered the views of market players, technical experts, and civil society groups, who provide an alternative well-informed perspective.
In November 2018, the General Court found that the Commission had breached its legal requirements and annulled its decision to approve the Capacity Market. The UK government suspended its operation – and was forced to ask the Commission to re-assess whether the scheme was lawful. This time, the Court ordered the Commission to run an in-depth investigation, and open a consultation.
Capacity markets: theory vs reality
Capacity markets allow 'capacity providers' – electricity generators, demand-side management providers, and others – to bid for contracts, awarded by national government.
Under these contracts, providers commit to provide capacity in specified future 'delivery years'. In return, these capacity providers receive huge subsidies – in the case of the UK's Capacity Market, potentially as much as £24 billion, collectively, awarded over a period of ten years.
The theory behind the Capacity Market is that market forces alone are not enough to ensure that there is enough electricity supply at times of peak demand – and without additional incentives, there is a risk lights will go out. Capacity agreements reward operators who make electricity capacity available – and the same operators can make money by using that capacity to sell electricity to the grid. This theory is fundamentally flawed.
Our analysis
Our legal and technical analysis shows that the UK has not established any need for the Capacity Market – any capacity concerns should be addressed by the market reforms that the UK has already implemented, and there should be no real risk of lights going off. Rather, the Capacity Market helps prop up carbon-intensive coal and gas power plants, and suppresses opportunities for cleaner technologies to grow their role in the UK's electricity market.
The scheme must not be approved unless it complies with the new rules on capacity mechanisms adopted under the Clean Energy for All Europeans package (in force as of 1 January 2020).
Regardless, if such a scheme is to be implemented, it must be redesigned so that all technologies (including demand-side response, storage and interconnection) that can provide capacity are able to participate effectively.
The Commission must complete its assessment of the Capacity Market by summer 2020. In reality, we expect the UK to push the Commission to speed up the process and issue a final decision by autumn 2019.
This decision could take one of three forms. It could re-approve the Capacity Market and give the UK the go-ahead to implement it. It could prohibit the scheme altogether, on the basis that it is anticompetitive. Alternatively, as a compromise, it might force the UK to make changes to the scheme to ensure it supports cleaner technologies.
ClientEarth will be following the assessment process closely, and will be checking that whatever decision the Commission makes is strictly in accordance with the law.

Games aren't just things we play to amuse ourselves, they can also be powerful psychological devices. They are designed to make people feel good by rewarding competency. But this can have a downside…
In a recent Game Developer Conference session "Gaming, Gambling or Addiction: F2P Scientific and Legal Perspectives" psychiatrist Tyler Black and his legal expert brother Ryan Black looked at how free-to-play games might face future legislation, due to the potentially damaging methods they use to try to compel players to play more and to buy in-game items.
The brothers stressed that they are lifelong gamers and that they believe self-regulation would be more beneficial to game-makers and to consumers than government involvement.
Tyler Black, medical director, Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Emergency Unit at British Columbia Children's Hospital, said that games trigger desires that can sometimes be difficult to control. Some behaviors, like excessive gambling or compulsive sexual activity, are based on relatively harmless activities that become harmful to the addict through over-use. Black said that gaming falls into this category. He added that he has treated children and young people for addiction to games.
The addiction is based on a desire for rewards. Most games offer fixed rewards, like points for scoring or upgrade economies for good play. Other games offer variable rewards, such as loot drops and rare spawn items, that are more like jackpot wins, and that's where the issue lies as these types of rewards can foster compulsion and addiction.
"Psychologically, the rarer the reward, the harder it is to stop the behavior," he said, adding that it is a kind of conditioning, not unlike Ivan Pavlov's experiments. "It doesn't matter if you say this is good or bad," said Black. "But the fact is, video games definitely shape behavior." Game designers try to make the feedback "as exciting and rewarding as possible."
He added that this can lead to "unhealthy behavior," especially among children, whose brains are still developing. Kids are not good at making sound judgments or at resisting urges for instant gratification. "Children are fantastic at adapting and learning, but that also means they are easy to deceive and can make bad decisions," he said.
Black believes that game companies can mitigate against promoting unhealthy behavior through some basic design methods. Games that include some element of chance should feature a clear indication of the odds of winning. They should offer a consumer-friendly returns policy. They should also include cues about the real world that discourage extended periods of play, as well as the ability for parents to restrict play hours.
Free-to-play games should also include an easy-to-find guide for parents and they should include features that self-exclude players who have no intention of buying micro-transactions, or who are parents wishing to protect their kids from in-game marketing.
But the real question is, will they? This type of design changes could deter people from playing their game, thus affecting the bottom line.
Ryan Black, a partner and co-chair at McMillan, specializing in technology, spoke about how some of the ideas his brother had suggested were already being passed into law, or are on the books in various countries. He said that all behaviors have their upsides and downsides, and that governments all over the world always find ways to legislate on entertainment forms. Gambling, for example, is restricted in most countries.
He said that demonstrating sensible self-regulation, as the game industry had done with ESRB ratings, would help to push back legislation that might be onerous or have unexpected repercussions.
Tyler Black concluded by saying that game designers should take responsibility for the power of their products to envelope impressionable minds. "It's not a great idea to reward compulsion, instead of rewarding fun and challenge," he said.
How do you feel about this? Let us know in the comments.

Institutional Investors
Price:3241 rub.
Book Summary:
One of the most important recent developments in financial markets is the institutionalization of saving associated with the growth of pension funds, life insurance companies, and mutual funds. An increasing proportion of household saving is now managed by professional portfolio managers instead of being directly invested in the securities markets or held in the form of bank deposits. With the aging of the population and its adverse impact on public pension systems, the shift of individual savings to institutional investors is likely to become even more marked in the coming years. This book provides a comprehensive economic assessment of institutional investment. It charts the development and performance of the asset management industry and analyzes the implications of rising institutionalized saving for the development of the securities trading industry, the financial sector as a whole, and the wider economy. The book draws extensively on international experience,...

Scotland's new leasing round for offshore wind projects is likely to fully launch in October 2019, Crown Estate Scotland, the public body responsible for leasing Scotland's seabed, has announced. It will be at that point that applications for developments can start to be received.
There will also be a 'pre-launch' in the summer which will provide further details about the leasing and ensure that the people and organisations involved have the information they need ahead of the final launch.
This aligns with previous commitments to ensure that ScotWind leasing is launched in 2019.
In addition to a target launch date, Crown Estate Scotland has today (Monday 29 April) provided further information outlining the proposed process and timelines to help developers and communities gain a fuller understanding of the next steps.
The final timings of the leasing are directly linked to the development of Marine Scotland's Sectoral Marine Plan for Offshore Wind.
John Robertson, Senior Development Manager for Crown Estate Scotland, said: "Scotland has the potential to be a major focus for offshore wind activity in the coming years. This can bring with it the development of a world class supply chain and an economic boost for communities across the country, in addition to providing an ideal route to help us further decarbonise our economy and meet our climate change targets.
"We want to provide clarity around our leasing proposals. We'll continue to liaise closely with the industry and others in the coming months, and we'll confirm the exact launch date in due course," he added.

Gyasi Williams, a member of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Monica, has won the 2007 Major League Baseball (MLB) S.T.A.R. Award, presented to Boys & Girls Club members throughout the country who have demonstrated an all-around positive attitude in after-school sports, fitness and recreation programs.
He was recently presented with a certificate of recognition at a club ceremony and is now eligible to advance to state competition.
The Major League Baseball S.T.A.R. Award program operates on local, state, regional and national levels. Each of the approximately 1,300 Boys & Girls Club organizations throughout the country has been charged with selecting just one overall S.T.A.R. youth from ten to 18 years old who exhibits the characteristics of a leader.
The award recognizes club members who lead by example, demonstrate sportsmanship, team spirit, achievement and responsibility on the playing field, at the swimming pool, in the game room or in the dance studio, club officials said.
Williams, a 14-year-old student attending New Roads Middle School in Santa Monica, excels in the classroom and on the basketball court and has been a member of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Monica for four years, club officials said.
"Gyasi Williams is a great kid with excellent sportsmanship and he displays excellent leadership qualities, and compassion for his teammates," said Brandon LaBrie, Santa Monica Boys & Girls Clubs athletic director.
Williams now qualifies to compete for the state S.T.A.R. honor. The 50 state winners and one military winner will be honored by Major League Baseball and vie for six regional spots, earning them the opportunity to attend the Major League Baseball All-Star Game in July.
One national winner will be invited to a World Series game in October, where they will be introduced to Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig and recognized for their achievement. The Major League Baseball S.T.A.R. Award program is the latest addition to the decade-long relationship between Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Major League Baseball.
Over the past ten years, Major League Baseball has recognized Boys & Girls Clubs of America as the league's "official charity," resulting in an annual public service announcement campaign valued at more than $75 million to date.
During this time, Major League Baseball has also showcased outstanding Boys & Girls Club members during the All Star Game and World Series.

Gold price climbed to more than $1,350 per ounce, touching a 14-month high and gaining for the fourth straight week — the longest run since January. Hopes of a Fed rates cut and investors' flight to safety fueled by a myriad of woes fueled the rally in the metal.
The Fed early this month hinted at interest rates cut if needed, given the implications of trade tensions on the economy. Speculation increased all the more with the latest weak job data and subdued inflation. Lower rates will continue to weigh on the dollar against the basket of currencies, raising the yellow metal's attractiveness as it does not pay interest like fixed-income assets (read: ETFs Set to Soar on Rate Cuts Signal).
Global growth worries driven by deepening U.S.-China trade tensions, disappointing economic data across the globe, and geopolitical tensions spurred demand for safe-haven assets. The attacks on two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman sparked fresh concerns of U.S.-Iran conflict as Washington blamed Iran for attacks, while Tehran refused.
Further, factory activity contracted in the United States, Europe and Asia last month while China's industrial output growth slowed to a more than 17-year low of 5% in May. The World Bank recently slashed its global growth outlook from 2.9% projected in January to 2.6% -- the slowest growth in three years -- citing trade conflicts, financial strains and unexpectedly sharp slowdown in wealthier countries.
Against this backdrop, gold is considered a great store of value and hedge against market turmoil. Moreover, investors poured into exchange-traded funds backed by gold, with holdings rising to the highest since late February (read: Gold Close to Touching Six-Year High? Leveraged ETFs to Play).
ETFs to Tap
Given this, investors could tap the rise in bullion price with the help of ETFs. We have highlighted five gold ETFs that could be excellent plays for investors, who believe that gold will continue to move higher amid rocky fundamentals.
SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD - Free Report)
This is the largest and most-popular ETF in the gold space with AUM of $33.2 billion and average daily volume of around 7.7 million shares. The fund tracks the price of gold bullion measured in U.S. dollars, and kept in London under the custody of HSBC Bank USA. Expense ratio comes in at 0.40%. The fund has a Zacks ETF Rank #3 (Hold) with a Medium risk outlook (read: ETFs to Win After Soft May Jobs Data).
iShares Gold Trust (IAU - Free Report)
This ETF offers exposure to the day-to-day movement of the price of gold bullion and is backed by physical gold under the custody of JP Morgan Chase Bank in London. It has AUM of $12.4 billion and trades in solid volume of 14.6 million shares a day on average. The ETF charges 25 bps in annual fees and has a Zacks ETF Rank #3 with a Medium risk outlook.
Aberdeen Standard Physical Swiss Gold Shares ETF (SGOL - Free Report)
This product also tracks the price of gold bullion and is backed by physical bullion under the custody of JPMorgan Chase Bank. It has amassed $892 million in its asset base and trades in lower volume of 48,000 shares per day. The product has an expense ratio of 0.17% and a Zacks ETF Rank #3 with a Medium risk outlook (read: 4 Reasons to Go for Gold ETFs).
SPDR Gold MiniShares Trust (GLDM - Free Report)
This product seeks to reflect the performance of the price of gold bullion. Being a low-cost product with expense ratio of just 0.18%, GLDM has gathered $739.2 million in AUM within a year of debut, while trading in solid average daily volume of 836,000 shares.
GraniteShares Gold Trust (BAR - Free Report)

Cheese Pizza Pops are very cheesy and addictive. Perfect for after-school snack for the kids.
So for the final pizza recipe for this week's Bake-athon, I had quite a few recipes that I wanted to try. But with the husband travelling, I didn't want to make a whole pie and have leftovers. So when I saw this recipe on the Kitchn site, I knew I had to make these Cheese Pizza Pops for the kids.Cheese Pizza Pops are nothing but bite sized pizza or may be mini size cheese calzones. Frozen pizza bites are quite popular here in the US. There is absolutely no need to buy these from the store because they are very easy to make at home. All you need is pizza dough, pizza sauce and grated cheese.Store bought pizza dough would work in a pinch. I've included an easy to make pizza dough recipe that works great here. Double or triple the quantities to make these for a crowd. The original recipe had crumbled sausage in it. I wanted to add some veggies like broccoli or spinach — but both my kids have different tastes, so had to make something that both of them like. Feel free to add some veggies to the filling, but don't over-do it.
I made these cheese pizza pops for my kids after-school snack. My son said that the house smelled like a pizza place. My daughter loved them so much that she said she could eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Well, that is not happening — but I'm sure I will be making them quite often.
This is part of the Bake-a-thon 2017. [inlinkz_linkup id=740397 mode=1]
Cheese Pizza Pops
For the Pizza Dough:
- 1¼ cups all purpose flour
- ¼ cup Wholewheat flour
- 1 tsp Instant Yeast
- ½ tsp sugar
- ¼ salt salt
- 2 tsp olive oil
- ½ cup Luke Warm Water
For the Filling:
- ½ cup Pizza Sauce (homemade or storebought)
- 1 cups mozzarella cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- To taste kosher salt, for sprinkling
For the Pizza Dough:
- Combine all the ingredients for the dough in a medium mixing bowl. Mix and knead to form a smooth, pliable dough. Takes about 10 minutes by hand and 7~8 minutes on a stand mixer.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover and set aside for about 1½~2 hours.
Make the Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine pizza sauce and grated cheese.
Make Pizza Pops:
- Preheat the oven to 500°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Gently deflate the dough and divide the dough into 2 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ¼" thick rectangle that is 4" wide and 14~16" long.
- Down one side of the dough, place about 1tsp of the filling about 1" apart. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch it close. Cut the dough around the filling and pinch all the seams shut. Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Place the pizza pops on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with kosher salt.
- Bake for 8~10 minutes or until the pizza pops are golden and baked. Remove from the oven and serve hot. Enjoy!!

thursday- 3 miles on TM
Yesterday was a perfect crisp morning. I love getting up and needing to put a sweatshirt on before my run. I just did a nice short run and warmed right up.
It has been in the 50's here in UT and I'm loving it. I love when we actually get fall weather before the snow of doom hits. So, in honor of fall actually arriving here in UT, here are my Friday favs.
1. Reading a book by the fire while J naps. Winter is when I do all my reading, let me know what your fav books are.
2. Bundled up at the park enjoying the Sun
3. Halloween doughnuts(warning the black frosting will dye your face and teeth;))
4. I'm not sure it's a fav, but raking leaves. I'm trying to rake them up one day a week so we don't have a spring like last year when we moved in.
5. Cooking! I always seem to try new recipes in the fall. My sister in law Jessica is a wonderful cook and told me about this pizza dough and cheesy bread recipe. It was soo good, you can find it here.
Have great weekend! I'll be snuggling at home watching LDS General Conference, can't wait!
what are your Friday favs?
favorite thing about fall?

A big part of your growth will be understanding the difference between lust and love. The media has conformed much of the way we think and conduct ourselves. Part of that movement has been to socially condition you to want sex.
Sex sells as the old saying goes. Yes, it certainly does. However, you must understand this universe is built on laws. It's built on a system of light and energy.
There's false light or darkness which is an ego construct or an identity based on impurity and there's positive light which is a pureness.
There's negative energy in this world and positive energy. Lust is a negative form of energy that keeps you in a fear based frequency. Not only does it destroy relationships and the construct of societal foundations such as having well structured homes, you can never find happiness in that state.
I used to be in a game of sleeping with women. Only after I was awakened did I understand that I was in a race of significance. You look for better looking and better looking women and you try to increase your number.
You are supposed to have an alpha mentality in terms of the way you hold yourself but not in a sense of trying to conquer women. We look up to a James Bond type figure who gets his pick at any woman he wants. Successful people have their stuff together and those qualities are what people look up to, but we falsely associate the idea of sleeping around with giving us those qualities.
Real alphas understand the difference. Real alphas choose one out of the many.
Ultimately, what you do in the process of trying to conquer women is puff up your ego. You want the feeling of what the short-term flings represent. However, it's a short-term sense of triumph only until you realize you are evading the truth, which is you have to build yourself up from within without experiencing anything external to provide you with that feeling.
What you are really after is a love connection and we cannot grow into the best version of ourselves without a significant other, who is your other half. They are truly unique because they provide us with the proper emotional charge that spots out our weaknesses. Many times you will get in a relationship with someone who spots out your weaknesses, however, they hurt you incredibly in that process. I analogize it to lifting weights. If you go too heavy, you'll get injured. I believe all connections outside of your true other half are people who remind you of that person. You know deep down who you want. This is why we have a type. Your significant other is the only one who can truly be the gust of wind to your sails you are looking for.
By the way, here's a side topic. What makes someone attractive? We all have eyes, a nose, a mouth. Is it the placement of it all? Is it leanness? Humans used to think fat was attractive. It's something much deeper than that.
By changing our appearance, we are coming from a place of trying to change mechanics, which is a false construct. There's a positive attraction and a negative attraction. There is opposition in all things. The negative attraction will bring you down a path of degeneration while the positive will bring you towards progression.
Why is sleeping with someone before your spouse still cheating? Morally right and wrong comes down to the fundamental principle of choice. Odds are your partner didn't choose for you to do that. This will require forward thinking on your part. Even if your spouse is OK with it when given that information and knowledge, a good soul will never choose that. It is not a purity on your part to receive as much light/energy as possible. We like to rationalize and say it's justified, but we are giving into the ego not what we know is moving us closer to the light.

A robotics team made up of students from HISD's only all-boys and all-girls schools will be heading to Louisville, Ky., later this month to compete in the 2016 VEX Worlds Robotics championship.
The team is made up of five students from the Young Women's College Preparatory Academy and four students from the Mickey Leland College Preparatory Academy for Young Men.
Competing under the name of "Roses and Knights," the team qualified for the Louisville event after winning the National Society of Black Engineers' VEX Competition in Boston in March.
The team beat out 21 high school VEX Robotics teams from across the nation, participating in seven rounds of qualifying matches before facing off in final matches to determine the tournament's winner.
The victory marked the second year in a row for the team, which was coached by Vince Hamilton at Mickey Leland and Astra Zeno at Young Women's College Prep. The students are Jarmel Brown, Evert Guzman, Marcellus Jordan, Luis Torres, Courtney Dubuclet, Diana Hernandez, Starr Morris, Guadalupe Ramirez and Janet Santacruz.
Also finishing with an award was the middle school team from Young Women's College Preparatory Academy (Chelsea Flores, Zoe Gilmore, Sydnie Harris, and Hilary Rogers), which came home with the Core Values award in its first-ever First Lego League competition. Their team is coached by YWCPA teacher Phyllicia Moore.
The YWCPA Ten80 STEM Racing team has also advanced to the national competition in Miami in May.

Eric Benoit's "Dragonflies" Foreshadows Uncomfortable Truths (premiere)
Eric Benoit fuses elements of dance, folk, and alternative styles in the experimental "Dragonflies", wherein the artist delves into some uncomfortable realities.
"When I was a child in the north New Jersey suburbs, circa 2003, I remember being terrified by the sight of two dragonflies mating," says Eric Benoit. "I've always hated insects, and here I had found two giant ones fused together in some sort of nightmarish flying catastrophe."
He continues, "I couldn't have realized at the time how it would foreshadow my own sexual experiences. There's passion in this song and sex, but not in the way you're probably accustomed to."
The NYC artist is delving into an immersive new sound on his sophomore album, Heartrender, set to be released on 26 January. Across its seven tracks, Benoit will captivate listeners with his blend of experimental dance, indie folk, and alternative styles. As is seen and heard with Heartrender's lead single, "Dragonfly", he also aims to unveil some uncomfortable truths on the record.
With a matter-of-fact dive into Benoit's views on sex, love, and the human body, the record won't be an album for the timid. It also relates to truth in all of us as he bluntly tells his story of a volatile relationship. In a way, it feels like an attempt for the artist to liberate himself as he comes to terms with sexual trauma. For all of the cinematic production and innate musical artistry present on "Dragonflies", the most captivating part of it all might well be how achingly, tangibly real it is—more-so than most would have courage or audacity to show in their art. For Benoit to have done so, it means that his art is true.

In case you can't tell, I am very open with my affections. I am full of passion. I love people. I love things. I hug. I cry. I laugh. I love!
My mom.. she is a bit more subdued. I get the emotions from my Italian dad, who cries at weddings, funeral,s movies, and memories. Mom reserves her emotions for her inner circle and extreme conditions.
So as I continue to fall in love with my babies, I have often stopped to wonder, 'Can my mom possibly love me this much?' Did she ever find real pleasure in kissing my little feet? Did she have special and ridiculous nicknames for me? Did she wonder if she'd still be able to snuggle with me in 10, 20, 30 years? Did she hope I would always find her heoric and beautiful? Does she know that I do?
Yesterday, the mom of my stepkids moved away. She has gone to South Carolina to take care of her ailing mom, to start a new chapter. The kids, for various reasons, are staying here with Rod and me. I don't know what all the next chapters hold. I do know that when Josh and Paige walked into our kitchen after saying goodbye, both crying, I never felt more like their STEPmom. I can hug, advise, comfort, write the checks, drive the carpool, register for drivers' ed, proofread the essays, cheer at the concerts, plead cases to Dad… but I will never be their Mom. There is only one 'mommy love.'
Almost one year ago, my mom's mom passed away, although she had been lost to my mom and me long before that.
There are so many examples around me, mothers lost, children lost, through death, through separation either emotional or geographical or both. This morning, in the midst of some pretty heavy guilt, I watched Miranda, right up close, as she was watching 'Lion King,' a movie I can hardly bear because it involves the separation of a child from his parents. I found myself again takng in the wonder that this beautiful child is MY daughter.
And a few hours later, I read this (written by Maddie's Gramma), and was reminded again that they aren't really ours, just precious gifts we eventually have to give back, one way or another.
I have no connecting point for all this. I just hope my mom and my kids know how much I love them.

Need a basic browser? Save $70 off the Acer Chromebook 15 and pay $179
This week's Best Buy ad shows a few discounted Chromebooks and while I normally highlight one of the newer devices, I thought to give the Acer Chromebook 15 a shout out for those on a limited budget. It's not as high performing as the latest and greatest Chromebooks out there of course, but it doesn't have a high price either.
You can nab the Acer Chromebook 15 for $179 this week, which is a savings of $70 from the normal $249 price tag.
Keep in mind that this Chromebook is what I'd call a basic or entry-level device. It's ideal for someone who just needs a screen and keyboard to check email, surf the web and other general internet usage. Yes, it can run Android apps, but I'd limit those to just one at a time and keep expectations in check.
Here's a rundown of the Acer Chromebook 15 specs:
- Dual-core 1.6 GHz Intel Celeron N3060 processor
- 4 GB of memory
- 16 GB of eMMC storage with an SD card slot for additional capacity
- 15.6-inch TFT LED display with 1366 x 768 resolution
- 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2
- Two USB 3.0 Type-A ports and one HDMI port
- 720p webcam, integrated microphone and headphone jack
- Stereo speakers
Again, these are basically entry level specs as evidenced by the older Celeron processor and 720p display which likely has limited viewing angles. And before you decide this is for you, know that the display is not a touchscreen nor is the keyboard backlit.
Even so, I'm considering purchasing one of these myself for use as a secondary device the whole family can use.
We keep an old MacBook in the living room and it's nearing the end of its useful life. But we don't need to spend $500, $1,000 or more for a communal laptop when most of the time we fire it up for some quick internet use. Instead, for under $200, we can get a basic Chromebook that's easy to share, won't require as much maintenance, can 'cast content to our television set, and boots quickly.

'I'm a huge fan of John Williams and his music, for numerous reasons,' said Lucas Richman, the music director and conductor for the Bangor Symphony Orchestra.' One cannot deny that his contribution to film music has defined the soundtrack for generations of filmgoers. And with many of his scores he's created indelible memories so that when we hear his music away from the movie theater, we're immediately transported back into the film that we first enjoyed.'
And part of the magic of John Williams isn't that he's created not just one or two masterworks. He's created dozens - decades worth of beautiful shared memories that we've collectively grown up with.
'Whenever I'm in front of an orchestra and play the opening of Star Wars,' there is such a visceral response from the audience. Very few composers have the ability to elicit this kind of reaction,' Richman said. 'It goes beyond a casual appreciation and reaches deep into a sense memory.'
Richman has been a guest conductor for orchestras across the country and the world. In addition to winning a Grammy in 2011 for his conducting the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra on Christopher Tin's album 'Calling All Dawns' for the category of Best Classical Crossover Album, he has worked with numerous film composers, including films for Academy Award-nominees for 'The Village,' 'As Good as it Gets,' 'Face/Off,' 'Breakdown,' 'The Manchurian Candidate' and 'Kit Kittredge: An American Girl.' And recently, he was personally by John Williams invited to be the conductor for the three-month national summer tour of 'Star Wars in Concert.'
'I grew up in Los Angeles and I was very involved in the Young Musicians Foundations. Initially, I was a violinist and later became a conductor for the orchestra. Mr. Williams was gracious enough to appear as a guest conductor for some of our fundraising events,' Richman said. 'It was through the YMF that we met. The first memory I have of meeting him, I was playing piano for the adventures of E.T. with John Williams conducting. That has to be almost 30 years ago.'
Since then, Richman has worked with or on behalf Williams on numerous occasions.
'At one point he invited me to assist him in concerts at the Houston Symphony and has recommended me for various conducting opportunities when he was unable to conduct himself, anything from conducting the Oslo Philharmonic to conducting the national tour of Star Wars in Concert,'' he said. 'We also continued to serve on the advisory board for the Young Musicians Foundation.'
In many cases, when you hear a soundtrack, it can enhance your movie-going experience, but may not stick with you. In the case of John Williams, the music becomes an integral part of the experience and elevates it to a whole new level.
'Each one of [his pieces] is such a gem. What is always amazing to me is that people speak of film composers as being chameleons and adapting their style to the film they're setting to music. Mr. Williams writes in such a way yes, he adapts, but he changes the film,' said Richman. 'And it's no secret that filmmakers like Stephen Spielberg go out of their way to accommodate the music that John Williams has written.'
The Pops will be celebrating not only John Williams' well known pieces such as 'Star Wars' and 'E.T. The Extra Terrestrial,' but some of his more dramatic works as well, really highlighting his range.
'There is a wide spectrum of pieces in the library of John Williams, tapping into not only his beloved space movies, but the emotionally hard-hitting works, such as Schindler's List' and Angela's Ashes.'
'We have a guest concert master Roger Wilkie [he] has several times served as concert master for recordings of John Williams. He knows [Williams'] music intimately and will be playing the solo for Schindler's List,'' he said.
Richman said people will also be able to enjoy music that hearkens backs to Williams' origins as a jazz pianist, which is embodied in the music that was written and performed for the film 'Catch Me if You Can.' Richman said that he felt that that score was one of the most brilliant in recent years.
For many people, the popular culture of film is a nexus for the arts and for many John Williams has been the gateway to orchestral music.
'The magnificent thing is when I was on the Star Wars in Concert' tour, the way the show was set up is we had an 82-piece touring orchestra that performed with film clips from all six of the Star Wars' films,' said Richman. 'It was me on my podium and Anthony Daniels (known as C-3P0) serving as narrator. And that was it. We would have thousands of people coming to the shows to watch and hear a symphonic orchestra play symphonic music. The focus was very much on the orchestra. I can't tell you how many kids came up to me after the show saying, I want to learn the violin.'
He noted that to this very day, the soundtrack for 'Star Wars' is one of the best sellers of all times.
'When you hear the low tones of the celli and basses playing two notes - an E and an F you know that a shark is coming,' said Richman. 'But when you see it in front of the people who are making the sound of the shark or the music for the shark, there's an immediate appreciation for the coloration that [Williams] puts into that music and how brilliant he is in isolating the elements and sounds of the orchestra in order to create these reactions emotional reactions. That's what I love about doing concerts like this. This music we know and love is now being put front and center and the audience can see what the musicians go through to bring this to life.'

Your postcard in the trash with the other mail is not doing you any good.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a postcard that stands out in the pile of mail motivated sellers receive each and every day? Something that will make them pause and take notice. Something that will entice them to read the whole thing and really take the message to heart.
That's the point isn't it. For them to get the message and take action. That's what we want.
Here are three postcard ideas that are sure to do that for you. I dug them out of my old files where I keep marketing ideas.
The first two are not inventions of mine. I wish I could claim them as my own, but they were picked up over the years from some course or forum or just a conversation I had with another investor. The third one is an idea I got from other general marketing materials that I adapted to buying houses.
Not many people know about these and I'm happy to bring them out and share them.
First, have you joined our private FlippingJunkie facebook group? Come network with us!
Picture of their House Postcard
This one is absolutely guaranteed to get their attention. This is where you find vacant or really beat up houses and write down the address and take a picture of it. You then find out the owners address from the tax appraisal district (most are online – search for '[your county] appraisal district'). Go online to a postcard printer (vistaprint.com or similar) and create a postcard with the picture of the house for the front of the postcard and put your message on the back.
Your message can be as simple as, "Did you realize your house looked like this?" You could then go on to be empathetic and let them know that it happens to a lot of people. Let them know that you want to help. You can pay cash and buy the house as-is, etc.
You can have the postcard company mail it directly to them after it's printed!
When the homeowner opens their mailbox and sees a picture of a house they own, you better believe they are going to be curious. It might even darn well freak them out. That may be a problem for some people but for others, it is a revelation. They may not be aware of the state of the property. Or, they may have just been ignoring it because they didn't want to deal with the problem.
This puts the problem in the forefront of their mind and you are there with the solution to their problem. Talk about timing.
The Handwritten Postcard
This one can be done in batches for several properties or personalized for each one. It is simply a handwritten message on one side and your marketing message typed on the back with a call to action.
Just use a black sharpie marker and write a quick and simple message that will grab their attention. Some ideas are things like, 'That problem property doesn't have to cause you any more headaches. I want to buy it, CASH!', 'Don't let those tenants take advantage of you any longer', 'I'll buy your house today and pay cash for it.'
Don't put a lot of stuff on here, just something that will make them have to take notice. Remember to keep it within 4″x6″ or 5″x7″ or whatever size postcard you are going to use. Resizing images can cause them to look "fuzzy" and digital. You want it to look like you actually wrote the message on the card yourself.
Take your written message and scan it with the highest possible settings. Take that image and upload to the postcard printer's website. Type up your message for the back of the card and don't forget the call to action. This is something like, 'Be sure to call today as I am only buying a certain number of houses in the area. Call now.'
Click here to download the Handwritten Postcard example.
The Advertorial Postcard
I'm awfully proud of this one. This one is basically made to look like a newspaper article.
What you do to make it look like a newspaper article is type it up as 2 columns of text and have a headline at the top. Put a border around it or simulated paper tear graphics to make it look like it was torn out of the paper or cut out.
The headline should be an attention grabber that seems newsworthy. For example, 'In a slow housing marketing, local couple buying houses fast.' or 'Unwanted house? Local company paying cash for houses.'
The message should be written as though you were interviewed by the newspaper. You would think this would be difficult to do. That's what I thought. But, as soon as I got the idea for the article, the wording just flowed. Read the newspaper for examples and ideas.
If you have testimonials, be sure to include one or a couple. You can do this by stating, 'Mr. Smith happily sold his unwanted house to Danny. This is what he had to say, '[insert testimonial here]'.
You could print this one at home with thin card stock. I just don't like to recommend printing cards at home because it just takes up too much time trying to get everything right….and I always had trouble with printers getting all clogged up.
The great thing about this one is you can probably use it pretty much as-is for a press release. Check out PRWeb.com. That can be a great way to have local news pick up your story.

Tennis Ball Hopper Reviews:Whether you teach tennis at your local park or just want an easy way to pickup and store tennis balls, ball hoppers are the way to go. I often go to my local court and practice my serve. Having a ball hopper next to me to hold the balls is a great convenience. I just reach into the basket and take out the next ball. When the hopper is empty, I reverse the legs and go pick up the balls. The ball hoppers are setup so that the balls can fit through the frame if you push the frame over the ball but they are not able to fall back out (except out the top). I've seen some parents bring their kids to the tennis courts and they bring along ball tubes which allow children to gather up the balls after hitting some. Tennis ball tubes are long, slender tubes which again allow the bottom to collect the balls and once they are filled up, you can empty the balls into a basket by turning the tube upside down and having the balls fall out that way. Gamma makes a variety of tennis ball hoppers - tubes, baskets, and carts. Other top brands include Hoag, Unique, and Wilson.
What size do you need? You can get the tennis tubes which hold up to 21 balls, the Gamma Risette which holds 50 balls, and teaching carts that carry over 300 balls. Stability is an issue with some of the basket type models which have reversal legs that turn into handles when you want to carry them. The construction of the ball hoppers isn't always very good quality so the metal bends and eventually the product doesn't stand up straight anymore and has a tendency to fall over quite easily. If stability is an issue, you can always go with the larger carts like the Gamma Brute Teaching Cart (325) which sells for $160 on Amazon.com and will serve you for years. The wheels make this cart easy to maneuver on the courts and the heavy duty wire basket holds over 300 tennis balls. The issue with these carriers are that they can be bulky and not easy to get back and forth to the tennis courts if you are teacher. You find these mostly at tennis clubs where professionals hold clinics and teach dozens of children or adults. For the average person, owning a smaller bucket, or basket type tennis ball hopper is the best choice. Ones that hold between 50 to 80 balls are probably plenty for your needs. Most beginner to intermediate tennis players aren't going to be able to hit more than about 70 balls without needing a little break. That gives you the chance to collect the balls that have been sprayed around the court and get ready for the next hitting game or routine. Even if you want to just hit serves, your arm will get tired after 30 or 40 and it's good to give it a rest for a few minutes like you would in a normal match environment when your opponent is serving. Where should you buy a tennis ball hopper? We found some excellent prices on Amazon.com for almost all the models listed below. Sportsauthority.com, Dickssportinggoods.com, and Midwestsports.com also carry ball hoppers for tennis and often you can find specials on their websites, but pricing is competitive as we found. Wal-Mart carries the Wilson Tennis Ball Pick Up Hopper ($20) and they have reviews listed by customers, similar to what you find on Amazon.com.

Book Tee Times
Tee Times
Input Score
18 hole regulation length course
71 par | 6,265 yards | 116 slope
69.3 rating | Bent grass
Suggest Edit
The 18-hole "Pebble Creek" course at the Pebble Creek Golf Club facility in Colts Neck, New Jersey features 6,265 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 71. The course rating is 69.3 and it has a slope rating of 116 on Bent grass. Designed by Hal C. Purdy, the Pebble Creek golf course opened in 1996. Raymond Longobardi, Jr. manages the course as the General Manager.
This course offers a nice variety to challenge all skill levels. Lots of small ponds throughout, greens that rolled true, fun dog legs & long par 3s. A bit pricey for what the course offers, but the staff is always really friendly.
Had a great time! Course was in excellent condition. I am a beginner so I found the longer Par 5s challenging. The hot dog after the 9th hike hit the spot!
Not worth the money
As other people have said, it's a good course for the newer/average golfer. The greens are good enough and the par 4s are short enough for those of us who struggling with distance to have a good time. From the white tees, it's only 6002 yards or something. I love going here and you can't beat the weekend greens fees of only $27. Plus, the one time my buddy and I went there, they gave us free beers, which we didn't even ask for. Now, I don't really drink when I play golf, but I don't really turn down free beer either. I doubt they do that every time, but they definitely won me over when they gave us an ice cold six pack on the first tee. Fun round for sure. However, this place is polluted with crappy golfers, so you may be in for a long round if you get stuck behind a herd of hackers. Nice scenery though.
A nice challenge for the average golfer. The greens and fairways were in excellent condition today and the people that run the place are some of the nicest you'll encounter. Well worth the $.
Course was in excellent shape tee to green. Greens were perfect. Would recommend to anyone.
New ownership last few years ... nice course and nice staff.
Fun course with a fairly low level of difficulty. Excellent value with the "Super Twilight" rate. Good place to get 9 holes in after work.
Short course but fun.
Wasn't impressed....Heard a lot of people ranting and raving about this track. Played it and said "Nothing to write home about!". Gave it another try and same reply...Pricey for what they offer, greens were "so so".
Interesting course, nice people.A fun course to play. The front is different than the back. The back has some short risk/reward water holes. There are a couple of long par 5's that account for a good chunk of the course yardage. The people working there are about as nice as you can imagine. Always a good round of golf at Pebble Creek.

Sales of Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs) will exceed $17 Billion annually by 2014, but Intel-based products will take a minority share, according to Mobile Internet Devices: Heavyweights Do Battle For $17 Billion Prize, just released by the Strategy Analytics Connected Home Devices service. MIDs represent the latest attempt by computing, mobile and consumer electronics companies to create a market for handheld gadgets that support the complete range of Internet applications familiar to PC users. This report predicts that global sales in 2008 will reach 1 million units, and will continue to grow at an average annual rate of 102% to reach 69 million units by 2014.
"Intel's Moorestown system-on-a-chip will be critical to the company's MID strategy," says Peter King, Director, Connected Home Devices. "But until this arrives in 2009 or 2010, ARM-based vendors will use this window of opportunity to establish market leadership positions." The report concludes that the proven advantages of the ARM ecosystem in mobile devices will eventually outweigh those of the Intel platform and that ARM devices will comprise the majority of MID sales thru 2014.
Strategy Analytics expects most MIDs will feature multiple wireless radios, including Bluetooth, WiFi and cellular 3G. The report also identifies Wimax and GPS (Global Positioning System) as features that will prove increasingly popular.
"Mobile Internet Devices will play an important strategic role in extending the Connected Home Ecosystem into the mobile world," notes David Mercer, Vice President of the Strategy Analytics Digital Consumer Practice. "The wireless connectivity of MIDs will allow users to access their digital content libraries wherever they happen to be."
Executive Summary
The recent emergence a new device segment, Mobile Internet Devices, represents the latest attempt to create a market for digital consumer devices that straddle the traditional divide between home and mobility. Our research concludes that high prices will restrict sales initially, but that global demand for MIDs will eventually build towards annual sales of 69 million units exceeding $17bn by 2014. While wireless connectivity will be supported universally by WiFi and Bluetooth, and optionally by cellular and Wimax, inevitably it is technology platform developers such as Intel, Qualcomm, ARM, AMD, TI and Via which are fighting for mindshare with consumer device vendors during this early stage of market fragmentation. This report presents an in-depth survey of the challenges and opportunities facing the PC, CE and cellular device vendors as they address this emerging market. It assesses drivers of future demand, and provides a six year global market forecast, segmented by volume, revenues and wireless technology, with regional breakouts for the European, US, Japan, Asia-Pacific and Rest of World markets.

Small-scale living may be a "trend" throughout the country, a way for us to reclaim back our quality of life and be less house poor, but in New York (particularly Manhattan), it's a normal way of life. Let's take Jennie Cohen's 450-square-foot Greenwich Village apartment, for instance. Here, she perfectly balanced big style with a small space to create a home that feels open, personality packed and perfectly livable. Check out these four lessons you can use in your own home that make Jennie's pad work so well. READ MORE »

Here I oppose three different ways to export modules on node.js
Lets say we want to export three functions from a file called count.js
var counter = function(arr){
return 'There are '+ arr.length + ' elements';
//This can be done by using backticks
var adder = function(a,b){
return `The sum of two numbers is ${a+b}`;
var pi = 3.142;
module.exports.counter = counter;
module.exports.adder = adder;
module.exports.pi = pi;
Here are some css selectors you can use to make your own wonderful html tables.
.table-1{} .table-1 th{} .table-1 td{} .table-1 tr:first-child{} .table-1 tr:last-child{} .table-1 tr td:first-child{} .table-1 tr td:last-child{} .table-1 tr:nth-child(odd){} .table-1 tr:nth-child(even){}
If you don't won't to use the default html buttons it's easy to create your own styled buttons. Below I oppose two examples. You can additionally add border-radius and other styles to make it look nicer.
At the examples I chose div elements for the buttons, but you can easialy use span elements, so you don have to make the display inline-block.

Personalised Leather Passport Cover And Luggage Tag Set With Name
Customer Reviews
Two luggage tags arrived promptly as ordered. They are generally good although on both, there are marks on the leather. It's a shame really as your eyes are drawn to the marks. Both items were very well packed so the marks would have been very noticeable when they were dispatched. Disappointing as these are expensive items at £55.00 for two luggage tags.
Lovely wallet. Bought it as part of my wife's present for her successful PhD defence. This hasn't happened yet and am sure she will like it as much as I do when she sees it!
I bought two of these as presents for my twin son's thirtieth birthdays. Both loved the gifts and we're happy with the quality.
Thank you! Super!
I bought a personalised luggage label for my Mums 92nd birthday. It's a lovely quality product to go with her new suitcase. You're never too old for a travel adventure!

If you're trying to protect your brain, it may be time to pour a cup of tea. Turns out that those who regularly sip on tea have a significantly lower chance of developing Alzheimer's disease and other cognitive disorders. A 2017 Chinese study observed 950 adults over the age of 55 for two years and found that those consistently drinking green and black oolong tea had between a 40-50% decreased risk of cognitive decline.
What was even more incredible was that drinking tea was especially protective for those genetically predisposed to developing Alzheimer's disease, reducing risk by up to 86%.
What makes tea uniquely beneficial for brain health is the chemical components within the tea leaves. Not only do they include catechins and theaflavins, rich with antioxidants, they also contain chemical compounds like L-theanine and EGCG that improve memory, reaction time, focus and creativity. What do you have to lose? Follow these three tea tips, and your brain will thank you.
Turns out that it doesn't really matter why type of green or black tea you choose, as long as it's brewed from loose leaves and consumed regularly throughout the day.
I suggest choosing an organic brand to reduce any potential pesticide exposure. You will have to invest a few dollars in a tea infuser which can be purchased for between $3-$10.
Over-steeping, or leaving your leaves in for too long will leave a bitter taste in your tea especially with green tea. Make sure to follow the steeping directions on the bag or play it safe by steeping for no more than 3 minutes.
Don't negate the fantastic anti-inflammatory benefits of tea by adding inflammatory sugars. If you must sweeten your tea, choose organic honey or try Sweetleaf Stevia.
Adding tea to your regimen is an easy and effective way to boost brain health and protect against the damage that leads to cognitive decline. But, it's not the only tool to safeguard your brain. Any imbalance or deficiency can put pressure on the brain and increase disease risk. That's why I believe in using the best comprehensive screening tools to assess each of my patient's cognitive health. Using that information, we can create the most effective plan to support optimal brain function and prevent cognitive decline.

The pitfalls of DIY Wills
Latest figures reveal only 59% of the UK have written a Will. Of those people, 6% have chosen to write a DIY Will. While there are some advantages to 'create-your-own' Wills, there are even more pitfalls. Here, we explore some of the reasons why DIY Wills may not be the answer…
Whilst most of us have come across DIY Will kits or online Will creation websites, far fewer of us are likely to have considered whether the Wills themselves are legal. Thankfully the short answer is yes, although they must still meet all requirements of a professionally written Will.
A DIY Will kit may not provide sufficient help and guidance for the more complex circumstances in your life. This includes, for example, if you are not married to your partner, have children from a previous relationship or hold an inheritance in a trust until a child's 18th birthday. Using the services of a Will writing professional means you have access to all the assistance you need, greatly reducing the risk of mistakes in your Will.
Although a DIY Will may cut costs initially it could cost you in the long-term. All Wills must be written using the correct terms and language, and need to be 'witnessed' by the right people. If this is not done properly then the Will is invalid and could cost your heirs their estate or money intended for them. Hiring a Will writing professional helps you to avoid this pitfall; a well-written Will is more robust when faced with any potential objections.
Even if your Will is still valid there is a bigger chance that distributing assets to your heirs could take a lot longer than usual. This can come with additional fees and, in some cases, unnecessary tax. According to the Co-operative Legal Services (CLS), 38,000 families a year experience prolonged probate ordeals due to poorly written DIY Wills.
It can be daunting and stressful to make a Will if you are already going through a death in the family, a divorce or financial issues. Calling on the help of a Will writer can greatly reduce stress and the worry of whether or not your Will has been rewritten correctly.
For help and advice on amending or drafting a Will please get in touch.

|Travel Cluedo - 1997
The 1997 board game has been abbreviated for this delightful travel version of Cluedo. The tokens and playing pieces fit into the small squares throughout the board area - perfect for keeping pieces in place during bumpy travel. The board layout has changed slightly with fewer squares to move about upon. Some furniture artwork has been removed to fit the scaled down version of each room. Also, the dining room only has one door while the hall, lounge, and study have extra doors. Otherwise, the game plays as usual. The board is set into a hard plastic covering that folds in half enclosing all of the playing pieces. When closed, the case looks like a piece of luggage - complete with straps, handle, and customs tags.
An interesting note is that the weapon tokens differ slightly from the box cover as does the number of squares on the board. The reverse of the box also shows the room card as a bird's eye inside view whereas the actual card depicts an outside view. A price sticer reveals that the game originally sold for 7.95 GBP.

The Beginning of my obsession
Do you all know who Ree Drummond is? The Pioneer Woman? Some of you may know her from Food Network but I know her from 2007. When blogs were a HOT commodity and people subscribed to them left and right.... I stumbled across her blog and found some friends who had done the same thing. Soon, there was a group of us that would have monthly dinner parties where we would each bring a dish, that was derived from Ree's blog, and share it potluck style.
This... is Penne A La Betsy (Betsy is Ree's BFF!). This is one of the first things I made and fell in love with and I want you to do the same. This recipe was first posted in 2007 and I make it as often as I can.

Line chart is the easiest chart at Forex. It represents a curve, which shows closing price for a certain period of time. Line charts can be also based on the median price, opening price, lows or highs.
A line chart is the first thing, which beginners learn in the financial market.
It is simple and gives clear view of the current situation in the market.
Look at the line chart above. You can see that it is quite simple. Changes in price over certain intervals of time are displayed as the dots, which form a curve of the chart.
Use of a line graph for market analysis
A line chart is widely used for market analysis. It is usually applied in the graphic method of forecasting. A line chart helps to identify patterns and build the most accurate levels of support and resistance. Other charts are not suitable for this purpose. We can say that it is much easier to find such patterns like Head and shoulders, Double/Triple bottom, Flag and Pennant with the help of the curve, than with Japanese candlesticks.
Levels of support and resistance marked on a line chart will be more accurate. However, the line is not an analytical tool and cannot be used to predict prices. Most traders prefer to use bars or Japanese candles when they work with indicators.
Example of the line chart application for market analysis
The above screenshot displays a pattern Head and Shoulders, which can be easily determined with the help of the line chart. We can clearly see that this pattern is formed in accordance with the rules applicable to this pattern, such as breaking down the neckline and further retesting it from bottom to the top.
Pros and cons of the line chart
A line chart is a curve of a price. The chart does not have any traps or pitfalls, which makes it easy to understand even for beginners.
Applicable with the graphic method of analysis.
This method of representing a price enables a trader to depict support and resistance levels and determine patterns.
A line chart does not show price gaps, as there will be a line between Friday's closing price and Monday's opening price.
Does not give full information.
This chart gives the less information than the other charts. For example, on the daily timeframe you will see prices for the previous time intervals but you will not know what happened during each day.
