S&P 500 - the technical picture
By David Morrison | 15/03/2018 16:34
This article considers the fundamentals behind recent equity moves but argues that any change in sentiment ultimately shows up in the chart
US indices recover
At the end of last week, it felt as if there was nothing that could derail the bounce-back in US equities. Trump's imposition of tariffs on steel and aluminium imports, the subsequent resignation of his chief economic advisor Gary Cohn, inflation concerns and the inevitable tightening of monetary policy from the Fed were all brushed aside as investors took the opportunity to increase their long-side exposure. Then a stronger-than-expected Non-Farm Payroll release together with a pull-back in Average Hourly Earnings provided the catalyst for a buying surge which saw the tech-heavy NASDAQ 100 end the week at a fresh record high and brought the S&P500 to well within 4% of its own all-time closing high, hit at the end of January.
Better fundamental news
So far, so good. But in the same way that a few analysts warned traders not to get too carried away by last month's unexpected surge in Average Hourly Earnings (which proved to be a prescient warning given Friday's pull-back), it's wise to treat the strong payroll number with a bit of caution as well. Granted, the six-month rolling average has risen to 186,000 from 160,000. But there's still a big question over why wage growth is so tepid, given that, at 4.1%, the Unemployment Rate remains at a 17-year low. The answer could well be that previously discouraged workers (who didn't count in the prior data) are now coming back into the workplace and keeping a lid on wage demands. If so, then it could be a long time before US employees enjoy a significant bump up compensation.
Rally seems to be fading
This week has seen the US majors pull back from their best levels. Ostensibly, the reason has been Trump's sacking of his Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. There's certainly a worry that Tillerson's replacement, Mike Pompeo, is far more hawkish in his worldview, citing China as a bigger threat to US security than Russia, and in his aggressive attitude towards Iran. Add in Trump's insistence that Singapore-based chipmaker Broadcom drop its proposed bid for US tech giant Qualcomm, and it suddenly looks as if the US under the Trump administration is flexing its protectionist muscles and closing its doors to cross-border deals. We had more evidence of that this week after the White House said it is looking to reduce the annual US trade deficit with China by $100 billion, or around 26%.
News as an explanation
But there's a danger of trying to explain away every market move by reference to news headlines and Tweets. For a start, such explanations are always "after the event" and often inaccurate or contradictory. And while headlines do drive short-term market behaviour, it takes considerably more than a news item (however big) to change market sentiment to such a degree that a multi-year uptrend morphs into a downtrend, or ends in a crash.
Shifting sentiment
Obviously, sentiment does change and sometimes it appears to shift overnight, although that's seldom the case. That's why it's important to watch price action across key markets. A case in point is the S&P 500 which has been looking quite messy of late. However, it looks as if the index is forming an ascending triangle with resistance coming in around 2,785/90. Following an uptrend (which has certainly been the situation for the past nine years) an ascending triangle is typically seen as a bullish pattern which is often resolved by an upside break and a continuation of the trend. However, that's not always the case and a break below the upwardly ascending line of support, particularly on increased volume, can also signal that the long-term trend is over. Looking at the daily chart below it's fair to say that the situation is developing. We could soon see a resolution, although working out which way the index could break is the problem, particularly as a big move in US indices will affect everything. So, make sure you have stops in place whatever you're trading.

If your home has an HVAC within it, then you know just how crucial it is to keep the system up to snuff. If your HVAC is running poorly, this will cost you. To better understand what you need to do in order to have an HVAC system in perfectly good condition, keep reading for many solid tips and ideas in the following article.
Hvac Contractor
Know what work you want done before you select an HVAC contractor. It will be difficult for an HVAC contractor to provide you with an estimate on the phone without knowing what your current setup is. If you do not know what you want, the process can become tedious, especially over the phone. Know the right information ahead of time.
Clean the fan blades and coils prior to summertime. Make sure your power is off before doing more than cleaning, such as working on the unit. Additionally, it's important to clear out leaves and other debris from the outside condenser unit.
Clean the fan blades and coils on the condenser fan every spring. Before you do so, shut off the power to ensure that none of the parts will move while you work on it. Take the grill off and pull the blades out to clean them.
Make sure that you do not cover your outdoor components with grass clippings when you are trimming the grass. Make sure the grass does not get in your unit. Make sure you move around the unit and blow the leaves away from it while blowing your leaves.
Hvac System
This advice should assist you in maintaining and repairing your HVAC system. A poorly operational HVAC system can become cumbersome as your electricity bills rise and maintenance costs increase, so having the right information is key to success. By using these excellent tips, your HVAC unit will function correctly for many years to come.

The Minister at the National Policy Summit on Tuesday said though the Mahama administration failed to ensure competitive bidding in awarding power contracts, the NPP administration will take an entirely different approach to ensure value for money.
"We know what happened when we went into the power crisis from 2012 and in the indecent haste that followed, we were procuring emergency power left, right and centre and therefore the guidelines or the proper shopping methodologies that ought to have followed were not. These things are best done on competitive tender.
"We had an open book in terms of the power purchase agreement so the supplier then came and said we will negotiate this price and PURC gave it a blessing and so for the same commodity; electricity, one producer is selling to us at 10.14 cents a kilowatt tab, another is selling at 19 cents a kilowatt tab, some are proposing 22 cents a kilowatt tab for the same commodity, electricity. In our emergency, our first respondents gave us anything and we had to take it that is why going forward all power will be procured on competitive basis…"
The Minister also revealed that power generators will be required to carry their own "fuel risk" and reduce the price at which government purchases power.
"We propose that power generators carry their own fuel risk. We also propose that we cap the price at which we will buy power from anybody. We are looking at 10 cents. If you can provide ten cents we buy from you. If not sorry. Electricity is a commodity and it has to be treated as a commodity."
The Mahama administration has come under intense criticism for securing power deals believed not to be in the best interest of the country.
The NPP administration in a bid to ensure value for money tasked a 17-member committee to review of one of those projects, Ameri power deal.
Future power deals will be strategised
The Minister, at the same event, indicated that government will strategise future power deals.
He argued that most of the agreements with Independent Power Producers failed to fully address the energy needs of the country.
He therefore pledged to employ some strategic policies to guarantee the efficient generation and distribution of power across the country.
"We will also use standardized procedures and documentation so that all the liquidity and security documentation that comes with power procurement will be standardized. Investor A faces the same standard document as investor B," the Minister added.

Sprekelia Bulbs (Jacobean Lilies)
Sprekelia isn't totally predictable. It will sometimes bloom twice (or more) in one year, and possibly won't bloom at all the next. However, it's worth taking a chance – Sprekelia's extraordinary dark red flowers are stunning, and planting a few will give you a good chance of getting at least some of them in flower every year. Sprekelia, sometimes known as the Aztec, Jacobean, St James' or Mexican Fire lily, capture the spirit of those names. Three separate upright petals rise like plumes at the back, while the other three curl together at the base and point downward. Sprekelias are suitable for gardens, containers and as houseplants, these plants are full grown at about 30 to 45 cm (12 to 18in).

Collecting Past-Due Board Without The Song And Dance
Boarding stable owners sometimes feel pressured by ever-increasing costs of hay, shavings, and feed, while their clients resist rate increases and sometimes fail to pay. What can a stable do? Many stable owners believe that non-paying boarders are a reality of the business, but boarding contracts can help the stable in these situations. For example:
The contract can allow the stable the option of raising rates by giving each customer notice of an upcoming raise, such as thirty days or more. The contract can also allow boarders the option of giving the stable notice of termination within that time so that a boarder unhappy with the increase can plan to move out before it takes effect.
My Leased Horse Appears Neglected – Now What?
Equine leases can generate several kinds of legal disputes, many of which have been addressed elsewhere in this blog. One dispute involves this scenario: The lessee (a "lessee" is the party that is allowed to use the horse owned by the "lessor" for a certain period of time under certain terms and conditions) is accused of neglecting the leased horse, and the lessor wants the horse returned as a result.
These disputes can be more complicated than they seem. For example, the lessor and lessee might disagree over the central issue of whether the horse was abused or neglected. Also, sometimes, the lessor might demand to have the horse inspected by a veterinarian, but the lessee might refuse to allow this to occur. If the lessor tries to haul away the horse, the lessee might accuse the lessor of trespassing, or even theft. Legal expenses can be significant to resolve these disputes. Read More ›

Keratoconus: Causes, Symptoms, & Treatment
Keratoconus is a medical condition related to the eye. This eye disease is progressive and affects the cornea over time. The cornea is the part of the eye which is clear and forms an outer lens. This disease causes the cornea to thin and bulge, developing into a cone-like shape. When the cornea obtains this cone-like shape, light is not properly reflected as it enters the eye. Instead of absorbing the light the cornea then deflects the light which in turn leads to distorted vision.
What causes Keratoconus?
Keratoconus usually begins when a person is in their teens or early 20's. In some cases, it begins in childhood, and less often it occurs in people over the age of 30. It can affect one or both eyes. There are small fibers of protein in the eye known as collagen. The collagen helps the cornea stay in place and maintain its shape. If the fibers are weakened, they can then fail to hold the cornea in its proper shape.
If there is a decrease in the necessary antioxidants that help protect the eye, the cornea cells become slightly defective and produce a by-product that is damaging to the eye. While the antioxidants would normally clear out this by-product if they are absent, they cannot.
Newer research suggests that the weakening of the corneal tissue may be due to an imbalance of enzymes in the cornea. The imbalance of enzymes causes the cornea to become more susceptible to the damaging by-products that are released and not cleared by the antioxidants.
Keratoconus has shown to be genetic. It can progress quicker in those who suffer from certain allergic conditions and other medical problems. If keratoconus runs in your family, you should have your child's eyes checked by their Arlington optometrist while they are young.
The riskk for Keratoconus has also shown to be higher when paired with overexposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun, as well as chronic eye irritation and excessive eye rubbing.
What are the symptoms of Keratoconus?
Keratoconus is most often caught by a doctor during an eye exam, which is why it is so important to regularly visit your eye doctor for checkups. The symptoms associated with Keratoconus include:
- A sudden change of vision in one eye
- Distortion of objects, close or far
- Double vision when looking with one eye
- Halos appearing around bright lights
- Streaking lights
- Seeing double or triple ghost images
- Blurry vision
How is Keratoconus treated?
Keratoconus treatment is generally initiated with proper eyeglasses or contact lenses. In some cases, rigid gas permeable contact lenses are recommended. If the case is mild, vision can be addressed via new eyeglasses.
In order to prevent the condition from worsening, there is a treatment called cornea collagen crosslinking. This procedure is completed in order to help strengthen the corneal tissue. There are implants that can be placed underneath the cornea, called intacs, that can help reduce further deformity of the cornea's shape.
The most important thing you can do if you are at risk to have Keratoconus, or if it runs in your family, is to visit your optometrist regularly. This is very important to ensure that your doctor is able to catch the disease early on and treat it before it progresses and leads to irreversible damage.

Denny McCabe as a high school senior in 1961Dennis Michael McCabe was born in Chicago on August 7, 1943, the son of William and Theresa Boden McCabe. He first took up amateur wrestling at age 11, continuing his mat career at Maine East High School in Park Ridge, Ill. in north-suburban Chicago. He placed third in the 165-pound bracket at the 1961 Illinois state wrestling championships held at the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana.
McCabe then headed further south to continue his education at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale (which no longer has intercollegiate wrestling). One of his Saluki teammates: heavyweight Larry Kristoff who wrestled for the U.S. freestyle team at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.
While wrestling for the SIU Salukis, McCabe participated in the first Midlands, the now-classic Christmastime tournament established by then-Northwestern coach Art Kraft, first held at the LaGrange (Ill.) YMCA in December 1963. McCabe captured the 190-pound crown at the inaugural Midlands event.
While at SIU, Denny McCabe was one of the top-ranked 191-pounders in the U.S., expected to be in the hunt for the title at the 1964 NCAAs with wrestlers such as eventual finalists Jack Brisco of Oklahoma State, and Ohio University's Harry Houska. Sadly, just two weeks before the national championships at Cornell University, McCabe blew out his knee, and was forced to watch from the sidelines.
McCabe served in Vietnam, where he won All-Army and All-Service wrestling titles in 1968.
Returning to the U.S., McCabe settled in the Tucson area. He earned his Bachelor of Science Degree and Master of Arts Degree in Rehabilitation Counseling at the University of Arizona which led to a career as a substance abuse counselor.
Denny McCabe with Dan GableAlthough McCabe also played football and baseball in his youth, as an adult he found his calling in sharing his knowledge of wrestling in unique ways. He was a popular fixture on various online amateur wrestling forums as "denny" and was the subject of a number of interviews with this writer for historical features for InterMat on topics such as the Midlands, wrestling strategy, and wrestling gear of the past. McCabe's obituary also indicates that he "supported and aided Arizona high school and college wrestling teams."
In addition to his wife Dyann and son Phillip Mayer, Denny McCabe leaves behind two stepsons, Bill Clemons and Mark Clemons, as well as his sisters, Maureen Schaedel (Robert) and Theresa Rothe (Steve); sister-in-law Ruth McCabe; and a number of nieces and nephews.
A graveside service to honor Denny McCabe will take place Thursday, Feb. 28 at 11:00 a.m. Mountain time at Evergreen Cemetery, 3015 N Oracle Road in Tucson followed by refreshments and remembrances at St. Odilla's Parish Hall at 7570 N. Paseo del Norte in Tucson.

Brandy Jensen, The Outline's Power editor, has made a lot of mistakes in her life. Has she learned from them and become a wiser person as a result? Hahaha oh gosh no. But it does leave her uniquely qualified to tell you what not to do — because she's probably done it.
Dear Fuck-Up,
My brother, who is turning 30 this year, has started to date an 18-year-old. I wholeheartedly disapprove of this relationship. It's not that I think it's inappropriate for him to be dating someone younger than him, but I find it predatory that he would entertain being in a relationship with someone who is basically still a child (I mean, he hangs out in her freshman dorm room). He's very defensive about her age the few times I've brought it up with him, and now shuts down any conversations about it.
Some additional backstory — my brother was recently in an abusive relationship that lasted a little over four years, which ended with me flying to him and calling a mobile crisis unit to get him out of it. Since the end of that relationship, he's gotten back to his normal self — going out with friends, traveling, spending more time with our family.
I want to give him some leeway since I know he recently got out of that terrible situation but I just can't find any silver lining in him dating someone this young. Similar to his previous relationship, no one in my family approves, but also no one knows how to confront him about it. I don't want to push him away now that our relationship is in a much better spot. Is it wrong for me to keep bringing it up with him? Am I supposed to let him figure it out on his own?
Dear Concerned,
I think anyone who is even passingly familiar with me and my whole deal would be able to confidently guess that I dated a lot of older men when I was in my late teens and early 20s. Of course, at the time I thought it was a sign of my stunning wit and advanced intellect that men with prostate concerns wanted to be in a relationship with me. And while I still maintain my wit was stunning and my intellect advanced, I must concede it had much more to do with my perky tits.
Were all of these men predators? No. My college professor certainly was, but in addition to the age gap he was leveraging a built-in power dynamic to his advantage. And of course there are many young women out there perfectly capable of making their own sexual decisions who are ill-served by the infantilizing desire to protect their virtue. But, as you correctly point out, your brother's new girlfriend is quite literally barely legal. I'm completely comfortable making a blanket rule against 30-year-olds dating teenagers, no exceptions.
I think you should continue to talk to him about this, but I would avoid broaching the topic from the position of firm, ethical disapproval. Few people react well to being told they are creeps — least of all creeps themselves. Instead, I would start by asking him what he sees in this girl, er, woman. It is very understandable, given his last relationship, if he was left feeling vulnerable and fragile. So perhaps a relationship he can view as a bit of harmless fun seems safe to him, for now.
What is not acceptable is taking comfort in someone who is pliable, someone who is not yet a fully formed person able to articulate her needs or desires. If you can get him to open up about what, precisely, he is getting from this arrangement, you might be able to lead him to the conclusion that whatever benefits there are for him will likely come at some sort of cost to her. You don't specify how recently his abusive relationship ended, but I think it's quite reasonable to let him know you have some concerns about how it may still be affecting his judgment.
Failing that, you can probably still rely on one bedrock truth: while the concept of older men dating much-younger women is only sometimes unethical, it is always deeply fucking corny. I can guarantee you some of her friends have very funny nicknames for your brother. One or two times being asked if she's seen Manhattan and she will invariably realize that rather than continue to date him, she can just get a fake ID and buy her own booze.

ARIZONA : Demuestra Valle de Santa Cruz; ser perfecto para cultivar mariguana
By 19:15:00
Amado, Arizona.-Ample space, plenty of sun, relatively cooler temperatures and access to high quality well water in the Amado area are a few of the factors that attracted Tucson-based Earth's Healing Medical Marijuana Dispensary to purchase about 80 acres of land for its growing operations in Santa Cruz County this summer. "We wanted to keep our business close to home," added Operations Director William Elliot in an email Monday morning. "(Owner Vicky Puchi-Saavedra) is from Santa Cruz County, and this type of land seemed to be a perfect fit for our operation." Earth's Healing is the third medical marijuana dispensary to establish greenhouses and fields in the county since 2014, when Nature's AZ Medicine first opened up shop in Amado, followed by Elephant Head Farm in August 2015.
None of the three companies sell their products in the county – their retail operations are in the Tucson and Phoenix areas – but representatives from all three companies said the decision to locate just south of the dividing line between Santa Cruz and Pima counties was mainly based on the availability of needed resources. "Apparently it's a trend," said Mark Steinmetz, who founded Nature's AZ Medicine, during a phone interview in July. "I think you are starting to see more companies wanting to go down there … for the same reasons there's a huge tomato house across the highway: the availability of land, workforce, water, electricity."
He added that at a higher elevation than Pima or Maricopa counties, Santa Cruz County's lower temperatures are a major draw for his company's greenhouses. Gordon Hamilton, manager at Elephant Head Farm, said the weather also works well for open fields, which benefit from monsoon rains during the growing season and dry weather during the harvest. For a business that still sees a fair amount of stigma, having plenty of open space is also important, he added. "It's a new industry, so everybody's kind of learning, we're figuring it out as we go along. But the most attractive thing for us to have a lot of space around us so we don't have any problems with neighbors. We definitely want to be good citizens in the local community," he said.
The location of the three medical marijuana operations so close to the county line is convenient since it's a little closer to the markets in Tucson and Phoenix than other parts of Santa Cruz County, Steinmetz said. But Hamilton and Elliot added that they don't have a choice because federal authorities would seize any marijuana they tried to transport through the Border Patrol's immigration checkpoint on Interstate 19 north of Tubac. "We cannot travel through the checkpoints with product, so being north of the checkpoint was the only option," Elliott said. In a written statement, the Border Patrol's Tucson Sector said that while "state law allows for the possession of medical marijuana in Arizona, it does not limit, replace, or supersede Title 21 of the United States Code Controlled Substance Act.
Agents who encounter subjects in possession of medical marijuana under state law will seize the marijuana pursuant to the federal laws." That's OK for Steinmetz, he said, because his Amado farm allows him to hire employees from Santa Cruz County as well as Tucson, Sahuarita or Green Valley. "We get a really good response from people. We haven't had problems hiring," he said, adding that with a reasonable cost of living and the beautiful landscape, he has even had a number of employees from Phoenix choose to relocate to Santa Cruz County. Win-win situation? While the benefits for medical marijuana companies in Santa Cruz County may abound, there has been some local pushback against marijuana growing operations in the county.
During a meeting in May of the Santa Cruz Valley Citizens Council in Tubac, audience members spoke out against Earth's Healing's proposed operation, citing concerns over safety, water use, noise and light pollution, among other things. Many of those concerns stemmed from Nature's AZ Medicine's growing operations, which has caused complaints among neighbors in the past over trash blowing off the site, noise from trucks and generators and the potent smell of marijuana, which neighbors say lowers their property values. However, leaders from all three companies said that in addition to benefiting from the open spaces and plentiful resources available in Santa Cruz County, their businesses also provide a positive investment in the surrounding community.
The biggest upside? Jobs, said Hamilton, who said he hires locally as much as possible and has had a great experience with local workers. "There aren't that many jobs in the area, and the ones that do exist, many of them are minimum wage," added Steinmetz, who said his company pays well above the minimum wage and offers year-round employment, which is hard to find in the county. He said he thinks that as people from the Phoenix area recognize the beauty and opportunity in Santa Cruz County, there will be more companies that bring in higher-paying, reliable jobs for the local workforce, as well as coming for tourism after getting a taste of the area during work-related visits. In addition to bringing jobs, Earth's Healing also has a mission to help people better understand the medicinal benefits of cannabis, owner Puchi-Saavedra said, "so we will be having some educational events."
As one of the early medical marijuana companies to set up shop in the county, Elliott said Earth's Healing is committed to setting a high standard for future businesses as well. "We believe in doing things the right way and not cutting corners," he said, which he hopes will help the county develop its expectations for others in the business who might come in the future.

Telford child sexual exploitation inquiry to look back 30 years
Telford's child sexual exploitation inquiry could focus on cases since 1989 following a request from the survivors' committee.
Terms of reference for the inquiry have been discussed by the Telford and Wrekin Council CSE Inquiry Member Advisory Group.
A document put before the group suggested the inquiry should focus on a period from 1995 onwards, as the availability of documentation and the fact that practices may have changed would make it more difficult to examine cases from further back.
But 'Mandie' – a member of the survivors' committee – told the meeting that the committee wants the timeframe to focus on 1989 onwards.
She said: "They were quite adamant for it to be in line with the Children Act."
The Children Act 1989 allocates duties to local authorities, courts, parents, and other agencies in the UK, to ensure children are safeguarded and their welfare is promoted.
Sarah Jones, from legal firm Eversheds Sutherland, the commissioning body responsible for setting up the inquiry, said: "It was never our intention to exclude cases before 1995.
"What we are trying to do is be pragmatic about the work the inquiry faces.
"There are time and cost considerations."
She said it was hoped efforts would be made to find documentation relating to any case, although there were concerns the volume of documentation could become vast.
However, later in the meeting she said there would be no issue with changing the date.
It followed calls from members in the group that the request from the survivors' committee should be supported.
Proposals were also put forward to make minor alterations to some of the terms outlined.
It is proposed that the inquiry should examine the local taxi industry and taxi licensing, and the impact that has had on CSE, but there was a call to include the 'night-time economy'.
The terms said the inquiry would identify if there were any organisational and systemic failures, but Newport Councillor Tim Nelson suggested it should examine if there still are.
The document says the aims will include examining 'the nature, extent and patterns' of CSE in Telford and the response of third-party organisations to cases.
It will also examine the impact of CSE on victims and survivors, attitudes towards them and the 'history of changes made to practice, policy and/or legislation in place to identify and address CSE in Telford, and the sufficiency of such changes'.
The document says the inquiry will examine all reports of CSE up until a cut-off date, to be chosen by chairman Tom Crowther QC.
It also says the scope of the Inquiry is limited to those cases of CSE where there is some link to Telford, whether the survivors were living or studying in Telford or were brought from outside the town and exploited there.
The terms of reference document says: "The overall aim and purpose of this Inquiry is to raise public awareness of CSE in Telford during the period covered by the inquiry.
"It will provide an opportunity for the victims, survivors and their families to be heard. The Inquiry will be informed by their concerns, and information provided by others, to establish what recommendations can be made to ensure CSE is recognised, reported and steps taken to protect children and help prevent CSE in the future."
The inquiry will also consider whether Telford and Wrekin Council Safeguarding Children Board's 2014 CSE report, its Children and Young People Scrutiny Committee's 2016 review and Ofsted's review of the borough's children's services in the same year 'drew accurate conclusions'.
Comments from the group, which met on Tuesday evening, will now be passed onto Telford & Wrekin Council's cabinet which meets today.

Hello, book lovers.
Welcome to my blog.
I hadn't really thought about the possibility of starting a book review blog before, though, through starting University, I met someone who is a little bit of what I call a movie genius (and I've told him so plenty of times, he thinks I'm slightly insane for it!) and has a movie blog which he is very much dedicated to. He loves everything about movies and he enjoys all of the time he spends on his blog, so the cogs started whirring in my mind and I decided, hey, why not start my own blog, but about something more personal to me? And here we are, on my very own book review and writing related blog.
My name is April O'Sullivan, I'm a 21year old final year Creative Writing degree student at the University of Bedfordshire and a huge book fanatic!
I adore books of all kinds; both reading and writing them. This is my blog, where I will be sharing my personal opinions of books of all kinds and genres and discussing anything and everything to do with writing.

Public Relations and Strategic Communication
If your desire is to shape and influence how people receive information about a company or organization, your career path into public relations should begin at St. Ambrose University.
Our graduates work at Greater Des Moines Convention and Visitors Bureau, YASH Technologies, Community Health Care, Family Rescue, Inc., and many others.
Ambrose Advantages
- Classes Pair Theory and Hands-On Learning
- Internships Encouraged With a Variety of Area Organizations
- Experienced Communication Faculty
Our professors give you breadth of perspective, experience, and adaptability needed to help organizations manage their image in the community and through multiple media channels. When you've completed your degree, you'll be fully prepared to take on the challenges of a career or graduate school.
See Our Strategic Communication Major Fact Sheet (pdf)
More Information on Public Relations and Strategic Communication
You will develop skills in advertising and public relations techniques and strategies. Examples of courses include Principles of Public Relations, Media Writing, Public Relations Techniques, Media Theory and Ethics, Advertising Copywriting, Business and Professional Speaking.
Then, put it all to work. For the capstone class during your senior year, you become an associate of the Ambrose Public Relations Agency (APRA). Your work – on behalf of the agency and in tandem with your classmates – will result in a meaningful and enticing communication campaign for a local organization.
Through APRA, our students have worked with and contributed to more than 25 organizations including River Music Experience, Figge Art Museum, and the Rock Island Arsenal Joint Manufacturing and Technology Center.
We don't want our students to sit still. Instead, we want them to learn by doing.&
Here's examples of what you can accomplish at SAU to strengthen your writing and better understand the nuances of working with media:
- Get involved with The Buzz, SAU's student-run newspaper. When you join the staff, you make decisions about content; report and edit stories; handle design and layout pages; take pictures; and sell and design advertising.
- SAUtv is a 24/7 TV station that offers programming on education and technology. Our students produce a weekly newscast, operate cameras, edit video, broadcast live sporting events, and work as on-air talent. Check out the SAUtv YouTube Channel.
- KALA-FM Radio broadcasts and streams 24/7 on 88.5 and 106.1 FM, featuring everything from blues to gospel to urban to rock. We also have The Stinger, an online radio station featuring the latest hits. Best of all, our students choose the shows, program music, edit news specials, volunteer at community events, and broadcast live sporting events under the direction of a staff advisor.
- Our faculty encourage creativity, tenacity, and professionalism – and as a result our students soar. Check out the awards KALA and SAUtv students earned from the Iowa Broadcast News Association on the Digital Media Production/TV-Radio page.
- Intern! You will get marketable experience, learn from professionals, and network with your future colleagues while still in college. Our Communication Department faculty have deep connections in the media world, and working with the SAU Career Center you have plenty of opportunities to learn in the field. For instance:
- Public Relations and Strategic Communication majors have interned with Quad City Mallards, Genesis Medical Center, The District of Rock Island, Quad City River Bandits, and several advertising and public relations agencies.
- Journalism students have interned with local NBC, ABC, CBS and FOX affiliates, and newspapers including the Quad-City Times and The Dispatch/Rock Island Argus.
- Radio and Television majors have interned with local NBC, CBS, ABC, and FOX affiliates, and with many area radio stations.
Strategic communication professionals work in virtually every industry: business, entertainment, government, tourism, education, and healthcare.
Our graduates find rewarding positions in public relations and advertising agencies, as social media directors, in public affairs positions, nonprofit fundraising, promotions, and in broadcast and print news departments.

"It was in the Communication Department that I learned one of the most important lessons during undergrad. It's not about getting things right the first time; it's about what you learn along the way. The professors I had for my Public Relations major taught me more than just what was in the books. I was taught and encouraged to think outside the box, express creativity, and take risks with my writing."Read about another Communication Department graduate, Tim Bladel '14

An internship can reaffirm a career passion or challenge a student to consider another direction – as was the case for Shelby. While she was hands-on working in broadcast journalism, she discovered it was not the career she wanted. She refocused her efforts and discovered a new field that perfectly fit her education and goals. Today, Shelby is the Human Resources Coordinator for BITCO Insurance Companies in Davenport, Iowa.

Spectral Methods in Quantum Field Theory

Part of the Lecture Notes in Physics book series (LNP, volume 777)
This concise text introduces techniques from quantum mechanics, especially scattering theory, to compute the effects of an external background on a quantum field in general, and on the properties of the quantum vacuum in particular. This approach can be succesfully used in an increasingly large number of situations, ranging from the study of solitons in field theory and cosmology to the determination of Casimir forces in nano-technology.
The method introduced and applied in this book is shown to give an unambiguous connection to perturbation theory, implementing standard renormalization conditions even for non-perturbative backgrounds. It both gives new theoretical insights, for example illuminating longstanding questions regarding Casimir stresses, and also provides an efficient analytic and numerical tool well suited to practical calculations. Last but not least, it elucidates in a concrete context many of the subtleties of quantum field theory, such as divergences, regularization and renormalization, by connecting them to more familiar results in quantum mechanics.
While addressed primarily at young researchers entering the field and nonspecialist researchers with backgrounds in theoretical and mathematical physics, introductory chapters on the theoretical aspects of the method make the book self-contained and thus suitable for advanced graduate students.

How to block a user's email address?
User Help for Mozilla Thunderbird
22 posts • Page 1 of 2 • 1, 2
Hello and respect!
I ask the members of this nice forum to help me!
I opened an email account and only me, I know the right one (main password). I am in charge of that email account.
Last year, I asked you how our Hunters who have cameras mounted in the forest can use it and they all send pictures via this email of mine.
They just want to send pictures via my email so I can view their pictures and they can also get them on their emails.
These are hunting cameras that go over the phone SIM card where this (joint) email should be put first
because it is through my email that pictures are sent to their private emails. I hope you understand me...
My email is: email@example.com and I have my password where I can enter my account, I can delete, I can change etc ...
Then I asked Google to give me some code where more people (our hunters) can use my email (but it can't modify or delete anything from it).
This is this code: rpufzxemojozyoyw
I'm very happy because it works beautifully, me and my hunters are pleased. Their cameras work beautifully!
Please do not block or delete this account because we are all happy for the conservation of forests and animals ...
This is how their cameras look and their hunting camera settings:
Their hunting pictures can be seen by me and them. This has been working very well for a year now.
The problem is that our hunters gave other hunters this email with our shared code, and now some other hunters put their email in their cameras.
I do not want to receive pictures from other hunters other than ours.
I can see all their emails from where the images to my account from "SENT"
My main question is: How can I block some email addresses so I can no longer use my email?
I mark with "JUNK" but you do not block them still and they can also send their pictures from the forest every day via my email.
There must be a way that I can block those emails that are not ours and I don't want them to use my account?
We are very happy to use this email ... but just that there is some solution
that I can block some of his emails from getting pictures that are not from our hunters? Explain to me exactly what to do!
THANK YOU from the heart and hope you understand my request and help me!
Thanks in advance!
Please Help
Moving this to (hopefully the correct forum), Thunderbird Support...
Ancient Amateur Astronomer
Win-7-HP/Intel® DualCore-2.0GHz/500G HDD/4 Gig Ram/550Watt PSU/350WattUPS/Firefox-20.0-62.0-70.0/T-bird-126.96.36.199/SnagIt-v10.0.1/MWP-7.12.
(Always choose the "Custom" Install.)
I hope so, because I'm using Mozilla Thunderbird and I don't see an option in it that I can block somehow !!! I do not know! That is why I am seeking your help from this good forum ...
It is not possible to block email addresses in Thunderbird because Thunderbird must access the server and download at least message header data before it would be able to identify the sender. You can, however, set up message filters to divert messages from specific email sources, moving them to the Junk folder (or other location of your choice). http://kb.mozillazine.org/Filters_%28Thunderbird%29
You could also see if your email provider offers similar filter functionality on the server side so that Thunderbird would never even see the unwanted messages.
Auuu i don't understand everything!
Can I then somehow block myself from Gmail from an option or what to do. I bookmark (emails I no longer need) every day with JUNK ... and get them again without any problems! What other ideas do you have for this to work as before ... just so it can block some emails (so they can no longer use) my email account? Only the ones I don't want! Hope there are solutions!
Thanks a lot!
I don't understand your reference to bookmarking if you are using Thunderbird, which doesn't offer that functionality.
Since you refer to a Gmail account, you can go to the Gmail web page and review the incoming messages. They have an option to block addresses as described in this article -- https://money.cnn.com/2015/09/22/techno ... index.html
A few somewhat related questions...
You are using Thunderbird (I assume) to access your Gmail account.
1. Is it configured so that you have subscribed to the "All Mail" folder?
Normally, you should subscribe only to Inbox and folders you have created, but not the "All Mail" folder. The All Mail folder contains all the mail you have received and not deleted, whether it has a label on it (i.e. classified in another TB folder), has been declared as spam or even thrown in the Trash... as long as the trash hasn't been emptied. The only messages not present in "All mail" are those you have sent.
In other words, unsubscribe from "All Mail" folders as your mail is already present in other folders that you can see.
2. Another possibility is that you have received multiple copies of a given junk mail. In such cases, what you think is a repeat offender is in reality a different message that you see.
Michel Gagnon
Montréal (Québec, Canada)
I don't think I can block as our colleague (DanRaisch) says because I don't have them in INBOX , but SENT.
And my colleague (mgagnonlv) couldn't understand everything. I get about 1500 pictures every day from all the cameras in the woods set up to send through my account. I delete everything every day after the examination.
All these cameras send through my email account and therefore I can see their pictures. These images appear to me only in SENT. And that's good and that's what we want.
The only thing you would want to block some cameras (from individual mails). That they can no longer (some of them) send pictures via my account! If I could, it would be wonderful! I know which emails I would block, but I don't know how, because they only appear in SENT for me.
if you know and have some explanation (picturesque) that i would know exactly how to do it!
THANK YOU for your intention to help me with this. It would be good if there was at least some solution!
I think you can see why you can't "block" those senders because as far as the systems is concerned, they are all "you"!
Why not ask for new code to allow the senders to use that account and only offer it to those you feel you can trust not to pass along that information?
I've asked Google for another code twice already and again this code is used by other hunters from other cities ... and they use my email. I want to block these hunters if they can somehow and if possible !!!
Nowhere do I see such an option! Is it possible to somehow insert their emails into a filter ... and they can no longer (just those emails) send pictures through my account?
If you have any ideas or if you know ... how please help ... because for over a year I have to constantly review photos and delete (foreign photos).
I advise that you create a new email account and use it instead. Or, attempt to contact gmail about how to revoke permissions / "third party authorization", but they may not be good at responding to free customers. Make sure you don't post the code for the new account anywhere too public.
THANK YOU for helping me! I don't want to create a new account. I would like to use this one.
So there's no option for me to block them? I thought it could be blocked, but it looks like I'm not going to make it.
How do I contact Google? Don't have a single email to ask?
I can also subscribe (if not expensive) not a problem ...
There may be a way to stop people from using the permission granted by the old codes to send emails with your account. I do not know. If there is, I would looking in gmail settings, especially ones about "permissions", or by contacting google / gmail.
I do not know how to contact google, I assume there would be some way, look for a question mark or help button in gmail.
Sorry I mentioned expense and free regarding gmail support, that was misleading, I have no reason to believe they do anything for paying customers either.
If you are able to revoke the permission from the old code, then you can prevent those emails without a new account, but if you do not find the way to do so, the new account is the only way I can think of.
Ultimately, the whole issue is in the hands of your contributors with no real way to control it from the system side. If you can't stop them from giving out the code, a new account will soon succumb to the same problem as they provide the new email address and code to their friends/colleagues once more.
I know!
So I thought there was (some option) where I could block those emails I wanted!
But there seems to be no such service in any email clients.
That's why I believed that you know it here because you are all professionals, but there is no solution.
Thank you!
