We all know that washing your teeth at least twice a day is of upmost importance, specially for little people's teeth. It is commonly known that, for some odd reason, our teeth can cause heart problems (yup, bad teeth will cause heart issues). I must say I am not the best when it comes to oral hygiene. I brush my teeth once a day and never floss. Never had, OK maybe a few times? But I still have not had anything done to my teeth (except for having to wear a retainer for a year). I guess I am lucky, or it could be due to my distaste of chewy candy and caramel. They like it so much that you can find them walking around the house brushing their teeth! We used to use the popular brand of toothpaste for kids but we soon switched to The Natural Dentist line of toothpaste and I must say we all love it! This does not mean my boys have strong teeth like mine. I still have to take the best care of my boys' teeth. since not doing so can harm their adult teeth. Lucky for me, both my boys love to brush their teeth!!
The dentistry sent us a great pack full of oral care goodies, toothpaste and mouth wash to help us take care of our teeth! This is what we got:
- Sensitivity. I have always had sensitive teeth. Eating a popsicle will hurt my upper teeth and I'll make silly faces as if I had just eaten something sour. Thanks to this toothpaste my teeth feel so much better! I can bite into a popsicle with barely any pain. I guess I have to keep brushing my teeth with the sensitivity toothpaste so they don't go back to their old selves.
Contains fluoride to strengthen teeth and prevent cavities.*
- Whitening. I love this toothpaste! Without using any bleach it helps you whiten your teeth. At first I was not so into the flavor since it is not as minty as strong as the other brands have. But I got to like it the more I used it. I have noticed that my teeth hurt way less than they used to (I alternate days between the sensitivity and the whitening toothpastes). I have noticed a change in shade on my teeth. They are not as white as when I used the whitening strips (which cause my gums to get sensitive) but there has been a change. My teeth look whiter and they might look even whiter if I would just stop drinking coffee!! Oh well, coffee wins!
Contains no peroxide or other harsh chemicals; and like all Natural Dentist toothpastes, does not use SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate).*
- Kid's Cavity Zapper. It comes in two flavors: Berry Blast and Groovy Grape. And the boys love, love, LOVE them!! I read that Birmingham Dental Specialists have suggested that, kids have their own tooth paste, seperate from their siblings and parents. This makes it more special to them, they take more responsibility for it. Knowing that, it's only normal that they each have their very own toothpaste now! A. always brushes his teeth with the Berry Blast and would brush his teeth 3 times in a row if you let him! J., on the other hand, prefers to use the Groovy Grape.
An all-natural gel-like formulation delivers cavity zapping fluoride every time they brush. No artificial dyes, sweeteners, or preservatives.*
- Healthy White Pre-Wash. I don't use it 100% of the time (like when I am running late) but it is awesome for pre-brushing with the whitening toothpaste. It is a great combo and works great (again, insert the fact that I like my
morningcoffee). I do not like the taste at all. It is a bit bitter and odd, but nothing too bad, it is just different (and natural). The taste is well worth the results!
Healthy White Pre-Brush Rinse uses a gentle non-abrasive bamboo silica to get your teeth whiter.*
- Healthy Gums. I have never had irritated gums, except that one time I used the whitening strips for two weeks, they got sore, but besides that I must say that my gums are pretty healthy. This doesn't mean that I can't take precautions and this is what the Healthy Gums from The Natural Dentist does to me. The flavor is way better than the whitening pre-wash. This rinse comes in Peppermint Twist (the one I tried) and Orange Zest.
Healthy Gums has been subjected to numerous clinical studies and is considered effective treatment for serious conditions by periodontists and dentists.*
- Cavity Zapper Fluoride Rinse. This mouth rinse was made specially for kids. We have never used it since it is a mouth rinse for kids 6 and up and my boys are still little. But I must say that I love the idea of a fluoride rinse that will help make my boys' teeth stronger and cavity free.
ADA-accepted and recommended for children 6 years old and up.*
I must say that I love The Naturak Dentist. Their prices range from $6-$7.50, well worth the price. IF you are looking for a natural alternative to toothpaste and mouth rinses The Natural Dentist is the way to go.

The bulk of Red Cross aid is being planned for Pakistan. But agency officials say that, as the possibility of war looms, more Afghans might try to flee to Iran and other neighboring countries.
Red Cross spokesman Denis McClean says it is vital to get the relief items in place as quickly as possible, before winter sets in.
He said "We are anxious that we have in place sufficient winter clothes, blankets, adequate winter tents to ensure that those people who do decide to leave Afghanistan in the coming weeks are adequately looked after for the coming winter. But the winters are bitter and cruel in that part of the world and we are particularly concerned about the plight of the elderly and other vulnerable groups who might be at risk in the event there is a massive displacement and that this winter is particularly bad."
The United Nations and other aid agencies are preparing for a so-called worst case scenario of one-and-one-half million refugees fleeing Afghanistan. Mr. McClean says there has not as yet been any significant influx of refugees into the countries bordering Afghanistan, but he says the Red Cross is obliged by the lessons learned in recent years to be prepared for the worst.
The Red Cross spokesman said: "If you recall 10 years ago, the crisis in Kurdistan where you had a very untenable humanitarian crisis on the mountains bordering Turkey. And very few humanitarian agencies were ready. Something similar happened during the Great Lakes crisis on the border with Zaire and Rwanda, when over half-a-million people poured in in the space of a few hours. We were all caught unprepared. We do not want that to happen again." The appeal will be used to provide shelter, clean water, and sanitation as well as basic health care for those leaving their homes. Mr. McClean says that in Pakistan alone, the International Red Cross will provide shelter for up to 250-thousand refugees. (Signed)

Guy Cisternino gives the world a reality check.
The internet is truly a double edged sword. It can be used to connect with people more often and spread new creative projects and ideas. It has helped bodybuilding grow tremendously over the last decade. But it can also be used to show the worst side of human behavior. Mockery, "trolling," and nasty things can be easily thrown out into the comments section of any website or social media network on a daily basis.
This weekend saw a truly horrific moment when Dallas McCarver collapsed on stage during the Arnold Classic Australia prejudging. It prevented him from competing… and ultimately led to a mix of support and criticism from fans on the internet. Well, Guy Cisternino wanted to clear the air in regards to the negative comments – and remind everyone that while Dallas is a truly massive competitor and bodybuilding star… he is also a human being. And one that suffered a very serious health issue that weekend.
You can check out his heartfelt and honest statement below:
Ok so with all the BS I have been reading about @dallasmccarver I want to clear the air. This picture right here isn't something to mock, laugh at, make fun of. There are more important things in life than just bodybuilding. Someone's life and health is way more valuable than any competition or first place trophy. Why am I making this post because I was in Dallas's shoes 2 weeks ago in Columbus except I collapsed as soon as I walked off stage where Dallas wasn't as lucky. As professional athletes we have a level of integrity we try to keep. No matter how bad we feel, sick we get, adversity we face, we put so much into dieting the last thing we want to do is give up. Fuck, we could probably get hit by a Mack truck and keep going. We have friends, family, fans, that come to see us compete, buy tickets to shows, airfares, hotels all just to support us to the last thing we want to do is let them down. I saw Dallas start to collapse onstage I ran over to him and grabbed him, helped him backstage, I laid him down on the ground, his body started to convulse I thought he was seizing so I grabbed a small towel to stick in his mouth (anyone who knows about seizures knows why) as I grabbed his head he grabbed my hand. I said "Dallas it's Guy buddy, you gotta breath bud and relax!" He took 2 big deep breaths and his body relaxed, I lifted his head and made him drink some Gatorade. Then the medics came and gave him oxygen. After his body and mind came to, he threw up for almost an hour then was hooked up to IVs almost 2 liters worth. So why am I posting this? I'm not posting this to show what I did, but to show this mans will and integrity! He finally made it back to the men's dressing room still hooked up to IVs, sitting in the chair with the sheer look of disappointment on his face. After 20 minutes sitting there with his eyes shut, he turned and looked at me and goes "Am I still allowed to compete, i wanna finish this show!" I told him buddy you have nothing left to prove, you pushed yourself to the max and still kept pushing until you literally had nothing left. When he said he wanted to finish my respect for this kid went up 1000% because that's a fucking warrior!

5 Things to Keep in Mind When Visiting Producers in Burgundy
- Published in Blog
Sadly, time has marched on, since the fantastic Bourgogne Immersion Trip I took with the Wine Scholar Guild lead by Andrew Jefford, October 23 – 28, 2016. Everyone on the trip was definitely a "wine nerd" but the group was composed of a mix of wine industry professionals, wine students of all levels that had "day jobs" and just wine appreciators. I had been on a few wine trips previously that were organized by friends or non-winegroups like Backroads (biking and wine). However, I had never gone on such a blockbuster, action-packed wine trip as this one. So for future participants here are 5 items to keep in mind so you have an incredible trip.

Lebanese Forces leader, Samir Geagea, sternly rejected, in a statement on Tuesday, any plan allowing the settlement of the displaced Syrians in Lebanon, whether provisionally or permanently.
"Lebanon is not a land without people; we flatly reject any step towards keeping the displaced Syrians in Lebanon, even temporarily," Geagea said in response to "some unsound western positions."
He continued that the next government's foremost mission would be to devise a clear plan on the Syrians' return to the war-free zones next door.

How brave are you? Brave enough to slide down the back of a dragon? If so, you may land in a berry patch filled with the boldest of berries: the dragon berry. Also, hidden among those powerful dragon berries you may find small gemstones of kiwi. If you dare to be so brave, then you shall be rewarded so boldly by The Ripe on Ice Collection's Kiwi Dragon Berry on Ice E Liquid. The dragon berry flavor brings to mind the flavor of fruit punch, with an added boost of boldness, to eliminate any lackluster reservations you may have towards this typical, boring flavor. Perhaps, you may even like to think of it as a fruit punch 2.0. If you're a little intimidated by such a powerful fruit to be named, "dragon berry", don't be discouraged, for the sweet kiwi expertly blends in with this fire-breathing fruit. It is the sweet kiwi serenade that tames the mighty dragon and prepares the mixture for the magnificent threshold of your mouth and lugs. Once the flavor is inhaled that familiar fruit punch flavor fills your lungs and surprises your taste buds with a hint of added melon twist. You may have thought this was it but the sweet kiwi creeps up on you and brings out the best tannins and flavors in the dragon berry. To further ensure a fresh inhalation of this tropical tornado, cool menthol is sprinkled in the mix and serves its purpose, expertly, on the way in, as well on the way out. There you have it: fruit punch with an extra melon-like boldness, superfluously infused with the sweet taste of kiwi, and spread evenly with an icy menthol blanket. What more could you ask for? The Ripe on Ice Collection's Kiwi Dragon Berry on Ice is giving you a bold flavor intended for kings with the sweetness of a princess. Mixed and manufactured by The Ripe Collection E Liquid.
Primary Flavors: Dragonfruit, Mixed Berry, Kiwi, Menthol

Under the Childcare Volunteering Program in India, participants work at local daycare centers or "Anganwadis", as they are locally called, located in and around the region of Palampur, Dharamsala. Since the area is rural, there are not many qualified and well-trained caretakers for the children.
Our volunteers play a significant role in providing children with much-needed attention, love, and care. Volunteers provide one on one attention to each and every child and help in the overall holistic development of the children. Volunteers also help the daycare center staff by helping in daily jobs, such as feeding, cleaning, clothing, teaching and playing games with the children.
Since the inception of the volunteering for childcare in India, we have seen a gradual change and development in the working of the daycare centers in the area of Palampur. Volunteers have played a big role while working for the children towards their welfare and development by lending a helping and caring hand.
The project is suitable for those looking for short term volunteering programs abroad and, also, for those on a gap year, summer placement or interested in volunteering with their family. This project is very much recommended for family volunteering in India wherein the family members can volunteer together. The accommodations are located in close proximity to the projects which would also be convenient for any children joining their parents on their volunteer program. Volunteers are assisted by the local staff and team for any kind of help they need in their work.
Typical volunteer activities under the childcare volunteering program in India include;
Volunteers are welcome to bring any resources which can be useful for them and help them in their volunteer work with the children. The day care centers do not have adequate materials and supplies and any supplies that you can bring would be welcome.
Volunteers joining the childcare program in India are required to follow a basic routine on a daily basis. This covers everything from meals to volunteer work and back. It must be noted that every placement functions at a different pace and on separate time-lines making the schedule slightly differ at times. A generic daily schedule for volunteers is as follows;
The same volunteer work schedule continues from the second week onwards
Weekends : Free to explore the city
Note: Please note, the schedule may vary depending on the particular project the volunteer is participating in.
We do not compromise on your living standards and tour arrangements. From arranging airport pickups to taking care of your volunteer placement, to putting you at the right volunteer house and helping you take up weekend travel, we help you plan and execute everything in a structured way.
Airport Transfer
Volunteers are picked up from Gaggal Airport in Dharamsala by a member of the local coordinating team. The airport is served with daily direct flights from Delhi. For those participants choosing to travel from Delhi to Palampur by bus, they will be picked up from the bus station and transferred to the volunteer home base.
You would be provided accommodation in our volunteer home base in Palampur. The accommodation offers spectacular views of the Himalayan mountains and provides a safe living environment for the participants. At the house, we provide same gender sharing dorm style rooms with attached western style toilets, lockers, TV, hot water, internet and a large common area for the volunteers to enjoy their free time. The volunteer house has a huge front and backyard with beautiful gardens where the volunteers can relax and even play outdoor games and activities such as badminton with other participants during the free time.
An orientation and briefing session will be provided by our staff in Palampur. We cover areas like culture, safety, locations, transportation etc. Volunteers also have the option to start their program by joining the 1 week Language & Culture Orientation week in Delhi.
The volunteer homebase in Palampur has full time cooking staff for preparing fresh meals for the volunteers. Volunteers are provided with three meals a day for six days a week. A sample of the meals you can expect are below:
Breakfast - Parantha, Bread, Tea (chai), Jam, Butter, Porridge etc.
Lunch/ Dinner - Dal (lentils), vegetable, rice, roti (Indian bread), pickle, yogurt may be provided along with some sort of curry.
Volunteers can go and explore the market in Palampur and take long pleasant walks. The area in and around Palampur is very safe and volunteers generally prefer to walk down the nearby locations. You can also visit the beautiful tea gardens, temples and Tashi Jong monastery which is located in Palampur. Volunteers are also given a tour of the Palampur market, Tea Garden and Tea Factory and a Yoga class once a week.

How to add custom validation logic to validate a phone field in SharePoint
Tallan's SharePoint Practice Lead, Reddy Kadasani, shows you how to add custom validation logic (UI portion, and code) to validate a phone number field.
How to add custom validation logic to validate a phone field (UI)
- On the UI, go to List Settings
- Click on Column that stores the phone (code below assumes the field is called Business Phone. Note that Business Phone is a built-in field in SharePoint)
- Expand the Validation section
- In the formula area enter the following code: format being checked is like (111) -111-1111
=AND( LEN([Business Phone])=14, IF(ISERROR(FIND("(", [Business Phone],1)), FALSE, (FIND("(", [Business Phone]) = 1) ), IF(ISERROR(FIND(")", [Business Phone],5)), FALSE, (FIND(")", [Business Phone], 5) = 5) ), IF(ISERROR(FIND(" ", [Business Phone],6)), FALSE, (FIND(" ", [Business Phone], 6) = 6) ), IF(ISERROR(FIND("-", [Business Phone],10)), FALSE, (FIND("-", [Business Phone], 10) = 10) ), IF(ISERROR(1*CONCATENATE(MID([Business Phone], 2, 3), MID([Business Phone], 7, 3), MID([Business Phone], 11, 4))), FALSE, AND( 1*CONCATENATE(MID([Business Phone], 2, 3), MID([Business Phone], 7, 3), MID([Business Phone], 11, 4)) > 1000000000, 1*MID([Business Phone], 2, 3) <> 911, 1*MID([Business Phone], 7, 3) <> 911, 1*MID([Business Phone], 7, 3) <> 555 ) ) )
- In the custom message field enter the message you would like the user to see when there is a validation error
- Save and close
How to add custom validation logic to validate a phone field (Code)
To do this through code (Visual Studio), in the field definition file put code similar to the following code. Code below assumes the field is called Work Phone.
<Field Group="Custom Columns" DisplayName="Work Phone" ID="{56D153DB-5882-492F-9495-87C58B6C7DE2}" SourceID="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/v3" StaticName="WorkPhone" Name="WorkPhone" Type="Text" Required="TRUE" MaxLength="255" Description="Work Phone"><ValidationMessage="Please enter phone number in this format: (###) ###-####">=AND(LEN([Work Phone])=14,IF(ISERROR(FIND("(",[Work Phone],1)),FALSE,(FIND("(",[Work Phone])=1)),IF(ISERROR(FIND(")",[Work Phone],5)),FALSE,(FIND(")",[Work Phone],5)=5)),IF(ISERROR(FIND(" ",[Work Phone],6)),FALSE,(FIND(" ",[Work Phone],6)=6)),IF(ISERROR(FIND("-",[Work Phone],10)),FALSE,(FIND("-",[Work Phone],10)=10)),IF(ISERROR(1*CONCATENATE(MID([Work Phone],2,3),MID([Work Phone],7,3),MID([Work Phone],11,4))),FALSE,AND(1*CONCATENATE(MID([Work Phone],2,3),MID([Work Phone],7,3),MID([Work Phone],11,4))>1000000000,1*MID([Work Phone],2,3)<>911,1*MID([Work Phone],7,3)<>911,1*MID([Work Phone],7,3)<>555)))</Validation></Field>
Note: The validation formula should return a boolean, otherwise you will get an error when adding this column to a list. Also, the formula should reference the field using the display name of the column
using the format [Display Column Name]. If you don't do so, you will get an error adding this column: "Formula references an unknown field"

Since gathering members of the press and getting them excited about an upcoming show is the best way to get good things written about it, on Nov. 12, Madison Square Garden opened the doors of a rehearsal to this year's A Christmas Carol. Playbill On-Line was there:
The event took place not at MSG but in a rehearsal room on the third floor of the Ford Center -- currently the home of another Lynn Ahrens show, Ragtime. We were ushered into a small rehearsal room, complete with a black dance floor and colored tape spike marks, indicating for the actors where the set pieces will move in and out during the show.
Rehearsal props are strewn about each side of the stage with dummy chains, gravestones and presents cast about as well. Because of space and money considerations, most rehearsals aren't accompanied by the lush orchestras we're used to seeing in a large venue like Madison Square Garden. Instead, a piano and a scaled down drum sit sat huddled in the stage left corner of the room.
Bedecking the stage-right walls is a collection of virtual mock-ups of the sets and lighting. They may be cardboard and colored tape right now, but they give the actors an idea of what the stage will be during the actual production.
The Nov. 12 presentation begins with speeches by the MSG executives and the introduction of adapter/director Michael Ockrent, choreographer Susan Stroman, conductor Paul Gemignani, and of course, the star of the show: former frontman of The Who, Roger Daltrey. The presentation begins with the scene where the audience is first introduced to Scrooge. Daltrey pushes through the others actors with a cane and book in hand, commanding things like, "Cratchit, Hurry up will you!" and the traditional, "Christmas is a humbug!"
Three charity collectors enter urging Scrooge to donate some money for the poor of England, for "they have nowhere to go for Christmas." In perfect character, Daltrey replies, "Are there no prisons or workhouses?"
The second presented scene features the popular number from years past, "Link by Link," where not only is Scrooge haunted by the ghost of his dead business partner, Jacob Marley (played by Paul Kandel), but by other ghosts who are burdened with the "chains of their past." The entire ensemble is featured in this one, banging and clanking the chains strewn about the necks of each actor. The number ends with Scrooge being chained up just like them.
The Ghost of Christmas Present (Roz Ryan), makes her debut in the next segment, where the Cratchits are all sitting around the dining room table and Bob cuddles his crippled son, Tiny Tim. Daltrey sings a solo where he begins to find compassion for the sorrows of others. The Ghost of Christmas Present reveals two children to Ol' Ebenezer: "Ignorance and Want." Scrooge asks if they have a home, and she replies using his own words against him, "Are there no prisons or workhouses?"
Christine Dunn, a principal dancer with the American Ballet Theatre, begins the fourth segment as The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Be, in a number titled, "Dancing on Your Grave." The number begins with four male chorus members digging a grave in the background while the Ghost pirouettes through gravestones and coffins.
The finale to the Yuletide favorite is "God Bless Us Everyone," which Daltrey just recorded with The Harlem Boys Choir as a benefit for their school. "God Bless Us" has the entire cast facing the audience, in a setting reminiscent of a grade-school class photo, with a grinning Daltrey set at top center nestled in between the Ghosts and Tiny Tim.
After the presentation, PBOL had the brief opportunity to speak with choreographer Susan Stroman and Roger Daltrey.
Stroman told PBOL that working on the show has been, "A great experience; it's the fifth year in a row and still fun. The show has great deal of opportunity to dance. We have ballet with the Ghost of Christmas Future, musical comedy numbers, and the Fezziwig Ball, which is very much like a square dance. Everyone who auditions has to be able to move, and then I get to throw some dancers in the mix."
When asked about the show and his reasons for doing it, Daltrey had this to say, "The show is a great family show, a tradition, and in ninety minutes you get all the main parts that Dickens is trying to get through. That's what I think is fantastic about this adaptation".
"Bad Guys are always fun to play, because you can't just be 'bad', but there has to be that sense of fun," said Daltrey.
"The only "Christmas Carol" I can remember seeing is the Alastair Sim film, which is a classic. I vaguely remember reading it as a boy, but after the sixties, I'm surprised I can remember anything."
When asked about the persistent rumors that another Who rock opera and film, "Quadrophenia," might be turned into a stage adaptation, Daltrey laughingly said, "No, no plans whatsoever. I might be wrong, who knows what Pete [Townshend, The Who's guitarist and impetus behind bringing Tommy to the stage] has in mind. I don't think it could work because it's all about youth, rock and rebellion, and Broadway singers can't sing like that eight performances a week. I don't think anything more can be done with that than what The Who already did."
PBOL also asked Daltrey about the Broadway version of Tommy and his feelings about it -- considering he sang the role of "Tommy" on the record and played him in the Ken Russell film. He found watching the Broadway adaptation, "Difficult. Very difficult. I thought the cast was brilliant, but I had a lot of problems with the show, with the changes that were made for Broadway. But, again, there's no way to sing like I did in "Tommy" eight times a week".
Madison Square Garden's A Christmas Carol, starring Roger Daltrey, runs November 27 - December 27. For tickets ($19-$58) or more information, call (212) 307-7171.

–Aria encoraging her bro Ichijou.
Aria Argento(アリアアルジェント; Ariaarujento) is a supporting character in the fanfic Highschool DxD: Legacy. One of the DxD children, devils descendants of Issei with one of the original girls of his harem, in her case Asia Argento, Aria is Ichijou's mentor and Nemesis' Queen.
She's Nemesis best friend/lover and strongest Piece, the new secretary in Kuoh Academy and one of the main antagonists of the second Volume, together with Nemesis, the eponymous Crimson King.
Appearance[edit | edit source]
Aria is a tall, slender, beautiful young woman with a buxom and curvilinear figure. She has long, blond hair that she usually wraps in a single braid on her left shoulder, fair milky skin and bright aqua-green eyes, just like her late grand-grandmother Asia. She's the same height as ichijou, if not taller, and has rather thin legs according to his descriptions.
She usually wears business suits and black cardigans when teaching in Kuoh academy, but she has a more relaxed set during free days. Much for ichijou's chagrin, Aria has habit to walk around wearing only underwear when indoors.
Personality[edit | edit source]
just like Ichijou is the voice of reason for Berolina, Aria is this for Nemesis. Being descendant of issei, Aria is care-free but dutiful, hot-blooded but noble, perverted but respectful. She's usually around the more stern and violent Nemesis to avoid her to go too far, and unlike her beloved King, she can see pass mere appearances and rankings and unlock the true potential within her peers. So much that every devil in the underworld sees her as a cool big sister, including Ichijou, who has one of the worst records regarding older female family members.
She treasures her connection with the Gremory house and the Hero of the underworld deeply, yet, can't stand being called for or even mirrored with her ancestors. Also, despite her typical humble and simple persona, Aria has no qualms in hitting first and asking second, in total contrast to her most known ancestors. For her, bonds and respect for one's anteccessors are important, but they shouldn't define who we really are.
On a lighter note, Aria shows also a perverted and shameless nature typical of her Hyoodou bloodline. She doesn't mind walking around naked unless someone calls her out for it, is very proud about her measurements(but can turn pretty uneasy if is ever brought up that Nemesis's are bigger), and likes to shove awkward, quiet young men(Aka, Ichijou) into her bosom to make them blush. She took a liking in Ichijou from the start, and treasures him not only for his legacy as issei's successor, but as a true younger brother she swore to protect. She also has no problems in sneaking into her lover's room with Nemesis for a "steamy night" with them. According to Nero, Aria is very gentle.
Being descendant of a dragon, Aria naturally draws attention of both foes and allies. nemesis stated that Aria is one of the few people she really loves. According to ichijou, her speech is translated in a very archaid form of japanese, as she uses 'Warawa" to refer to herself, an outdated and extremely polite form for such.
History[edit | edit source]
Aria is one of the DxD children, devils with direct ancestry with Issei Hyoodou with one of the girls of his harem, in her case, Asia Argento. Born after the Great Apocalypse and raised in the Gremory Household, Aria became one of Nemesis best friends and mentor to other younger devils, like Berolina, who sees her like a cool big sister more than Nemesis. In some point, she was turned into Nemesis' Queen as well as the second-in-command of the Draco alliance. To stay close to her king to avoid her to go too far, she begun to work as a teacher in Kuoh academy, where Nemesis is headmistress of.
She fell in love with Nero Gladius, Nemesis' Knight, not too long after meeting him, and to avoid further conflicts with her, they decided to "share" him. Aria is also one of the few people that can directly approach Grandmaster Millicas.
Powers & abilities[edit | edit source]
Immense strength - Being born from a dragon and training since earlier years, Aria developed an absurd level of strength, compared to even lord Sairaorg Asmodeus(Formerly Bael). She can punch bolders into smitheens, destroy buildings with a kick, level grounds with a single stomp and her presence alone can push people away for meters, a punch of her capable to even forcebly deactivate a scale mail transformation.
Master Magician - In veritas of her Queen position, Aria has also a great afinition in magic. Usually relying on her own strength and wits, she is capable of using strong spells to further improve her efficiency in battle. Her element of choice seems to be fire and ice.
Master of Hand-to-hand combat - What makes her more of a threat during battles is also her level of knowledge in combat. She easily outmatches even other high-class levels, and the only way to have a chance against her during close-combat is to have a sword fight instead, since she isn't very good at it. Her combat style consist in simple punches, kicks and drops, however, combined with her absurd strength, Aria is a foe to be feared.
Holy immunity - Being descendant of Asia Argento, the devil blessed by michael, Aria inherit her grand-grandmother's immunity against holy objects. While still able to be harmed by divine weapons, Aria won't receive any drawbacks usual for devils, like sunrays, bibles, prayings or blessed items, like rosarios or crosses. She's also one of the few devils that can carry and use a holy sword without problems.
Dragon transformation - Due to her connection with Issei hyoodou, Aria can morph parts of her body with dragons scales to boost her speed, strength and senses. However, she can't morph her entire body into it, with the risk of being irreversible.
Dragon Breath - Aria can channel demonic energy down to her lungs and create fire from there, which she can spill it out of her body from her mouth and nostrils. While powerful at high levels, this ability is harmful for her since her body is still of a devil, and so she can burn her insides to almost fatal levels. the only safe way for her to execute such move is to morph her lungs and part of her air channel to of a dragon's.
Equipments[edit | edit source]
Solomon's gate - A mass-product artificial Sacred Gear created by former governor general of the Fallen Angels Azazel, which has the ability to store and repair holy/demon swords. Aria is one devil that Cohen entrusted with such ability, later she would passed down part of it to ichijou. Instead of support, however, Aria uses it more frequently in the reloaded variation, lauching her swords at high speeds to harm foes and assist allies.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Her appearance and images are based on the character Female Knight(Onna-kishi) from the Maoyuu series.
- She's named and referenced after an album of the same name by the british band Asia, her mother being also named after another album of such. aria is also a form of melody performanced by a single person.
- Just like Ichijou, Aria has the habit of punching/harming nemesis whenever the former says/do something reckless or stupid.
- Her attire during the meetings of the Draco alliance is a slingshot bikini or a black swinsuit.
- Aria makes a brief cameo during the fifth chapter of Highschool DxD: Legacy as a woman playing guitar on the mountain, even lampshading how random such event is, as a reference to Cromartie Highschool.
- Her theme song is U can do it from Domino.

It has been 25 years since commercial Internet was first made available in India on August 15, 1995.
India has come a long way over the past two and a half decades - from when accessing the Internet was a costly, time-consuming affair to today, where we have the world on our fingertips. Almost all aspects of our lives – from shopping to banking, watching movies and even learning, have gone online.
The World Economic Forum projects that 1.1 billion Indians will be connected to the Internet by 2030. Going forward, technology and the Internet are set to change our lives in a myriad, unimaginable ways.
While commercial Internet started in India in 1995, the foundations were laid close to a decade earlier in 1986, through the Education and Research Network (ERNET) Project.
Set up by the Department of Electronics (DoE) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) with funding support from the Government of India, the ERNET served the purpose of connecting different educational institutions across the country, including the five Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), Indian Institute of Science (IISc), National Centre for Software Technology and the Department of Electronics.
The ERNET funded its partner institutes to set up LAN (Local Area Network) to connect computers within the campus and then connected the LANS with a Wide Area Network (WAN), thus creating an inter-campus networking service. It hosted educational content and aided research and development across the institutions.
As the next step, IISc worked on providing email access to its various departments. Setting up an email server involved laying a more than one-kilometre long ethernet cables, connecting systems across different departments. All this evolved under the guidance of Anurag Kumar, the current Director of IISc. By 1992, different universities in Bangalore dialled in through the ERNET, India's first internet service provider.
VSNL brings the Internet to India: It was on August 15, 1995, that VSNL first brought commercial internet into India, at a time when even China did not have the net. This was at a time when VSNL had a monopoly over telecommunications in the country and private players were not allowed.
The state-owned VSNL launched the Gateway Internet Access Service with the help of a satellite link with US Telecom giant MCI International, available immediately in the metro cities of Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and Chennai. It was then made available in Bangalore and Pune by end 1995.
The launch was far from smooth. Internet connections back then were extremely unstable - the modems that VSNL used were of poor quality, would make a beeping sound every three minutes and disconnect. However, VSNL's internet service got 10,000 subscribers within the first six months.
In 1996, software services body Nasscom set up a booth for VSNL at Mumbai's Nehru Centre to showcase what the internet could do, propelling its popularity further. The Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) was introduced in 1997 and by March 1998, the internet user base had touched 90,000 in India.
By 1996, most major newspapers across the country, such as The Times of India, The Indian Express, The Hindu and the Hindustan Times had set up their websites and in 1997, Tamil newspaper Dinamani launched its website.
The year 1996 also saw the opening of the country's first internet café at Mumbai's Leela Hotel and the launch of India's first home-grown portal - Rediff.com, with its email service and early shopping service.
India formulated its broadband policy in 2005, which helped accelerate the growth of the Internet in the country. As per information from the Government website, penetration of Broadband, Internet and Personal Computer (PC) in the country was 0.02 per cent, 0.4 per cent and 0.8 per cent respectively at the end of December 2003. Internet access was also available at limited speeds of around 64 kbits/second to 128kbits/second.
The policy defined broadband as an "always-on Internet connection with a download speed of 256 kbit/s or above." Though this accelerated the growth of broadband, the government's auctioning of the 3G spectrum in 2010 and subsequently 4G spectrum, brought in a competitive wireless broadband market.
Internet's Indian evangelists:
Known as the Father of Internet & Data Services in India, Brijendar K Syngal is credited as being one of the pioneers in bringing the Internet into India. The IIT Kharagpur alumnus resigned his job with Immarsat in London to head the state-run VSNL in 1991.
In his autobiography titled, The Telecom Man, Syngal admitted to goofing up the launch of the Internet in India and publicly accepted responsibility for the disastrous launch, as the CMD of VSNL. According to Syngal, the team had not done proper research on the size of requirement and demand.
However, Syngal and his team at VSNL sorted out its teething problems, increased investment into the launch from Rs 2-2.5 crore to Rs 10-15 crore, and tried to cater to the increasing user base. Amitabh Kumar, technology director at VSNL, also played a key role in laying out India's Internet services.
Supporting VSNL on its mission was a group of software and internet enthusiasts that were among the early evangelists of the internet in the country.
The Internet Users Club of India (IUCI), was founded by the late actor Shammi Kapoor, also a tech geek, who had started using the internet even before the rest of India had. Other members included cyber expert Vijay Mukhi, Miheer Mafatlal and Kanakasabapathy Pandyan.
The Club would lug an Apple Macintosh computer from place to place, holding informal gatherings to show people how the internet worked. The IUCI helped VSNL work on their faults and provide better services to internet users.
Many more miles to go:
India's first commercially available plan came at an exorbitant price – a 9.6kbps dial-up internet line which was priced at a flat annual rate of Rs 15,000 – for around 40 minutes per day! Compare that to today, when internet speeds are available up to 100 Mbps. The country also boasts of having the cheapest data pack of Rs 5/GB (Reliance Jio).
Internet in the country has also moved on from having an elite user base which could afford to pay the exorbitant rates to penetrating into the rural hinterlands with a user base of half a billion (504 million active Internet users as per a study by Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) and Nielsen).
In 2019, rural users (277 million) also outnumbered urban areas (227 million) by 10 per cent – this has been driven by inexpensive mobile data and smartphone penetration. A major reason for this is the entry of players such as Xiaomi, the Chinese mobile manufacturer in 2016 which brought the 'poor man's iPhone' - the $100 Redmi - into India, and Reliance Jio, which brought aspects such as free voice calls and 4G at extremely low rates.
The Indian government is pushing for Digital India and building 5G networks in the country. However slow and unsteady Internet speed is hampering this dream. As per a report by Ookla, that provides free analysis of Internet access performance metrics, India ranks a low 129th out of a list of 138 countries in terms of data speed.
The average 4G internet speed in India is between 6.9 to 9.5 Mb per second (Mbps), even lower than countries like Pakistan and Sri Lanka (13.5-15 Mbps).
Gender inequality is also wide. Only 35 per cent of internet users are women. The rural-urban divide is even starker – 31 per cent of women have access to the internet in rural areas, as opposed to 40 per cent in urban areas.
The Jio phenomenon
A major Internet revolution in India was sparked off by Reliance Jio. Launched in 2018, the Mukesh Ambani-led company introduced free voice calling and dirt-cheap data services. This led to a content consumption boom on the Internet and myriad OTT platforms such as Amazon Prime, Netflix,Hotstar, Voot took off big time.
Global Internet majors -- like Google, Facebook and Amazon -- are also focussing on Indian language services to attract non-English speaking Internet consumers from rural areas.
The advent of Jio has seen India's Internet user base skyrocket as affordable data and low-cost smartphones see rural folk get on to the world wide web.
Today, India is the second-largest internet market in the world, after China. India is also one of the largest untapped markets in the world – with close to 900 million people yet to connect to the Internet. The pandemic has further increased the country's dependence on the Internet, with schools going online and a vast section of the workforce telecommuting.
However, despite the great strides that the country has made bringing the internet to the people, there are many miles to go before the country can realise its dream of Internet for all.

The Paying Guests by Sarah Waters
See The Paying Guests in our catalogue
In the aftermath of the First World War, a genteel widow and her daughter Frances are forced to take in lodgers from a lower social class to make ends meet. The friendship between Frances and paying guest Lilian Barber develops dangerously and both women become embroiled in crime and deception.
We felt particularly sympathetic towards the character of Frances, with her dislike of pretense and her need to disguise her sexual orientation. We thought that the author's decision to write the book in the third person, despite Frances being in every scene, heightened the character's sense of isolation. By contrast, we found Lilian an annoying, less sympathetic character.
Overall, The Paying Guests is a ripping yarn. The small cast of characters inhabit a thoroughly convincing setting and the book provoked a lively discussion.

Clinton and Sanders Meet to Discuss Party Unity
On Tuesday night, presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders had a meeting for the first time since Clinton secured enough delegates to becoming her party's nominee. The ill-timed meeting happened after Clinton's overwhelming victory against Sanders in the Washington, D.C., Democratic primary.
The last nominating contest leading up to July's Democratic National Convention, Clinton won the D.C. primary with nearly 80 percent of the popular vote and seemingly putting the last nail in the coffin of Sanders' hard-fought and contentious presidential bid. Needless to say, the pair's meeting was intense, but one thing remained: Sanders isn't planning on dropping out any time soon.
Clinton and Sanders were both "a little tense" due to the fervor with which they'd fought each other in the media and at the polls, according to the New York Times. Anonymous Sanders advisers told the Times that the Vermont senator is concerned about Clinton's positions going forward and worried she will take moderate stances to win more conservative states, like Florida and Ohio, "if she see thinks it necessary to win."
Clinton and Sanders were joined by Sanders' wife, Jane, and his Campaign Manager Jeff Weaver, as well as Clinton's Campaign Chairman John D. Podesta and Campaign Manager Robby Mook.
The Times article reported Clinton's camp was divided about whether or not they need Sanders; while some consider a Sanders endorsement "a significant concern," others see it as less of an issue, saying the party will unify itself against Trump with or without the votes of former Sanders supporters.
After their meeting, both Clinton and Sanders released remarkably similar statements about their meeting, providing slightly varying descriptions of their discussion on progressive issues, such as raising the minimum wage and reducing college costs. Many noted that Sanders is still in the race, and made no indication of dropping out in his statement. All the same, Sanders appears to be making moves towards closing out his campaign, and according to a Bloomberg article, his insistence on staying in the race "no longer seems to threaten party unity as Democrats once fretted it would." Instead, he hopes to use his continued substantial backing to help change the party's platform and nomination process.
While D.C. voters headed to the polls, Sanders dropped in on the Senate Democrat's weekly caucus lunch and received a standing ovation from his peers. Sanders' colleague Bob Casey, a senator from Pennsylvania, said Sanders "can, I think, and will, play a constructive role in making sure Secretary Clinton wins."
Although Sanders has not dropped out of the race, strategist Anita Dunn said Sanders is following the lead of Gary Hart and Jesse Jackson, who remained in the 1984 presidential race until the convention but stopped actively campaigning against Walter Mondale, who became the nominee.
As the nation enters the calm before the storm that will follow the July partisan conventions, there's no way of knowing what shenanigans either of the presumptive nominees (or Sanders) will get up to. As each candidate leverages the Orlando shooting towards their agendas, Sanders' and other Democrats' call for unity couldn't be more timely.

Who wants to spend a weekend in Paris? Raise your hands.
Who wants to spend a weekend in Paris on $100?
Um, I think we lost some people.
But a great city does not require great investment (of money, at least) to enjoy. I discovered that in December in New York, and I confirmed it on a January weekend in France's stubbornly – but not impossibly – expensive capital. (See related article here.)
The idea, of course, was not just to survive on ham and cheese and baguettes and sit around cafes reading Le Monde by day and Flaubert by night. It was to squeeze as much culture and fun out of 74.29 euros as I could.
Here's how I did it. (All amounts are in euros from here on out.)
My attempts to use the Vélib' (a citywide system of rental bikes) failed because my credit cards, like those that most Americans carry, use magnetic strips, and the Vélib' machines accept only cards with chips. So I mostly walked – even in the winter, Paris is very walkable – and spent 5.20 on public transportation (two Métro rides and one bus trip) when absolutely necessary.

At TalentEd, our mission is to change lives by making sure that we help high-ability disadvantaged kids reach their potential. As a small charity, for us to successfully run our programmes, we require assistance in our funding. This means that we try our hardest to secure grant funding from companies and charitable organisations who share our vision.
The latest organisation to have contributed to our cause is the National Lottery Community Fund, who, working with our fundraising assistant Kelvin, have generously given us £10,000 to help us match expert teachers with the students that need their help.
We are excited and grateful to collaborate with one of biggest suppliers in the economic state. We look forward to putting the grant funding to good use and spread our charity to more areas as we try to continue tackling the issue of the attainment gap.

Leonard Cohen told his family, in his final days, he was confident Donald Trump would be elected president of the United States.
The Montreal singer-songwriter's son Adam recalled the prediction at Saturday's Juno gala dinner, where his father received a posthumous artist of the year prize.
Cohen's son says the notion of Trump winning seemed "absurd" to everyone around his father.
"He was one of the only people I know, who had the most absurd prediction that anybody in my midst would dare have: he predicted Donald Trump was going to be the president of the United States, which of course made us all laugh hysterically."
They assumed the medical marijuana he was ingesting clouded his logic, he says.
"He was stoned out of his mind," Adam says. "What did he know, we thought. But it turns out the old man was right."
Cohen died in California a day before Trump stunned his country and the world, defeating Hillary Clinton. Though he was closely associated with Montreal, his hometown, he also lived and worked on the American west coast.
In his 1990s song, "Democracy," Cohen sings: "From the fires of the homeless/From the ashes of the gay/Democracy is coming to the USA."
His Juno win marks the second time Cohen has received the artist of the year award, after winning in 2013.
Adam says his father knew 2016's "You Want It Darker" would be the final album he produced. He recalled once asking him how he was producing such "astoundingly clear and powerful vocals."
"I'm a captive, I've got no other purpose or mission," he says.
"This is my message, this is my last message."

Workplace violence is a serious recognized occupational hazard, ranking among the top four causes of death in workplaces during the past 15 years.
OSHA recently issued a directive on Enforcement Procedures for Investigating or Inspecting Incidents of Workplace Violence. The directive establishes uniform procedures for OSHA field staff for responding to incidents and complaints of workplace violence and conducting inspections in industries considered vulnerable to workplace violence, such as health care and social service settings and late-night retail establishments.
Workplace violence is a serious recognized occupational hazard, ranking among the top four causes of death in workplaces during the past 15 years. More than 3,000 people died from workplace homicide between 2006 and 2010, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Additional BLS data indicate that an average of more than 15,000 nonfatal workplace injury cases was reported annually during this time.
A recent OSHA inspection of a Maine psychiatric hospital found more than 90 instances in which workers were assaulted on the job by patients from 2008 through 2010. The hospital was cited for not providing its workers with adequate safeguards against workplace violence and a fine of more than $6,000 was proposed. OSHA has also recently cited facilities in New York and Massachusetts where employees have been killed as a result of assaults.
"These incidents and others like them can be avoided or decreased if employers take appropriate precautions to protect their workers," said Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health Dr. David Michaels. "We have accompanied this directive with a new Web page on Preventing Workplace Violence to help employers address workplace violence issues."
Studies by NIOSH and other organizations show that employers who implement effective safety measures can reduce the incidence of workplace violence. These measures include training employees on workplace violence, encouraging employees to report assaults or threats, and conducting workplace violence hazard analyses. Other methods such as using entrance door detectors or buzzer systems in retail establishments, and providing adequately trained staff, alarms and employee "safe rooms" for use during emergencies in health care settings can help minimize risk.
Go to OSHA's new Web page on preventing workplace violence for more information.

Community helps put burglar behind bars
The Plettenberg Bay community has proven its vigilance recently when residents made swift work of providing police with credible information about a wanted suspect which subsequently led to his arrest.
Plettenberg Bay Crime Prevention Association (PBCPA) operations head Otto Olivier said local police approached them to assist with circulating information about a house burglary suspect on 29 August.
"We started circulating the suspect's picture with information and the community immediately responded," Olivier said.
He added that the police started receiving calls from residents providing details about the suspect's whereabouts. "It was not even more than half-an-hour before the suspect was located and arrested."
Olivier said home burglaries have been on the increase in Plettenberg Bay over the past few weeks, especially in the Keurbooms area, and that the suspects did not appear to be opportunistic criminals but targeted specific houses and planned their attacks carefully.
He explained that some of the incidents involved suspects gaining access to unoccupied homes through the roof. During other incidents, where suspects forced their way into their target homes in other ways, the homeowners were at home at the time of the attack.
"We urgently need all residents to make sure that their alarms are in good working order. Have your alarms tested to make sure? Also, make sure that your panic buttons work."

The World of Aufbau:
Hitler's Refugees in America
By Peter Schrag '53
Aufbau—a German-language weekly, published in New York and circulated nationwide—was an essential platform for the generation of refugees from Hitler and the displaced people and concentration camp survivors who arrived in the United States after World War II. The publication served to link thousands of readers looking for friends and loved ones in every part of the world. In its pages, Aufbau focused on concerns that strongly impacted this community in the aftermath of the war: anti-Semitism in the United States and in Europe, the ever-changing immigration and naturalization procedures, debates about the designation of Hitler refugees as enemy aliens, questions about punishment for the Holocaust and other Nazi crimes, the struggle for compensation and restitution, and the fight for a Jewish homeland.

HOUSTON – There's a battle brewing in the United States, and how government officials should answer to it is causing even more tension, including in Houston.
"This is a defining moment and the question is, how are we going to answer?" Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said.
At issue are Confederate monuments in public spaces and whether they should be taken down.
"You just can't all of a sudden say, 'We're going to go in and tear down everything.' That's not the answer," Turner said. "We all have values that we want to protect and we can hold to those values and we can do it in a very peaceful, respectful way."
This debate follows the deadly violence at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Like a number of cities across the country, some people in Houston are asking the city's mayor to take down Confederate monuments, arguing the monuments glorify negative aspects of American history.
One local group has started a petition to remove a statue from Sam Houston Park.
Another group is planning a protest to have it taken down.
The answer, according to Turner, is to take an inventory of all the city's monuments and present it to a group of people, including local historians that he will choose to study each one.
Texas representatives talk about President Donald Trump's latest comments:
WATCH: Reaction from Sen. Cruz, Rep. Green
Houston U.S. Rep. Gene Green and Sen. Ted Cruz are among the many politicians on both sides of the aisle reacting to President Donald Trump's latest comments on the deadly violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.
"I think there is blame on both sides and I have no doubt about it and you have no doubt about it. Either you have a group on one side that was bad - group on the other side that was very violent," Trump said.
"The president speaks for himself," Cruz said. "The Klan is evil they are racist bigots, Nazis are the very face of evil. Their hatred ... their anti-semitism is completely unacceptable."
Green said the country needs stronger leadership in the White House.
"To defend someone who is a racist or anti-semitic that is not what any president of the United States should ever do," Green said.

Nifty at 11,400: Deploy Call Butterfly Spread to take advantage of rally
On immediate basis, 11,300 now acts as key support for Nifty monthly with next major placed at 11,000. Participant data points towards the bullish bias of Foreign Institutional Investor.
Indian markets displayed stupendous rally for yet another week as Nifty50 rallied by 3.5 percent. All the major sectoral indices were in green.
BankNifty exhibited strong outperformance as it moved in uncharted territory. The Nifty future closed a tad lower than 11,500, while BankNifty future closed at 29,500.
Crude is stabilizing near 67 with Rupee/Dollar appreciating by about 1.5 percent to 69.09 level provided the necessary impetus to the rally.
Both Nifty and BankNifty saw substantial long addition in Futures. During the week, Nifty added nearly 50 percent OI to last week tally, 8.3 mn shares while BankNifty saw the addition of 0.9 mn shares, 43 percent higher than last week base.
Combine OI of BankNifty comes closer to its last one-year high seen in May 2018. Sector-wise Nifty bank was top performer led by a stellar rally in heavyweight like HDFC Bank (5.8 percent), IndusInd Bank (12 percent), ICICI Bank (6.6 percent), Kotak Bank (6.9 percent) and the State Bank of India (6 percent).
Move in stocks is supported by OI addition of 15-25 percent each. The Nifty Energy also showed buying interest led by the move of 4-6 percent in Reliance Industries, ONGC, and OMC stocks.
BPCL and IOC have seen OI accumulation of 20-25 percent in the last week. IT stocks like Infosys and TCS have seen good OI accumulation during the week.
India VIX remained range bound within 15 percent to 16 percent during the week. Volatility skew, an advance study of the placement of IV did depict the move of 11,500 at the beginning of the series, indicating underline bullishness in the market.
PCR (Put Call Ratio) OI wise is moving in the range of 1.6-1.8. Friday session saw ratio trading at 1.77. A significant move above 1.85 could see some consolidation coming in.
The Nifty Option Open interest remained relatively light on Call side, highest being at 11,500 of 23.46 lakh as fright is visible among Call writers while and Put writer showed aggression at every 100 points rally by an upward shift in Put base.
On immediate basis, 11,300 now acts as key support for Nifty monthly with next major placed at 11,000. Participant data points towards the bullish bias of Foreign Institutional Investor (FII).
They have created net longs of nearly 80,000 contracts in Index Futures in March series highest in last 13 months. In Options too their Synthetic long (Call Long+ Put Short) to Synthetic Short (Put Long +Call Short) trades at 1.44.
Clients on other end have gone net short in Index futures this week to 45,929 contracts compare to long of 7,119 contracts seen in the week gone by.
Overall data points towards inherent bullishness in Nifty with substantial long addition in futures, lower Calls resistance and upward shifting Put base to 11,300.
Thus it is prudent to deploy Bullish Strategy on Nifty. With next week being truncated and approaching expiry, Call Butterfly Spread in monthly expiry is recommended.
Call butterfly Spread is a bullish strategy that expects a positive move in underline. It's an idle strategy to play for positive bias along with being completely hedged.
Under this strategy, we are buying 1 lot lower strike Call, Selling 2 lots of higher strike Call and Buying 1 lot of further higher strike Call. The maximum profit would be made at the middle strike.

Movies I watched
1. Burn After Reading
Hmmm... What should I say?
"A movie which has hell lot of vulgar words and the story line is simply clueless"?
It is a black humor movie. Indeed the scripts etc is quite good, but pardon my English level, I can't really get some of the jokes inside this movie. I never know Brad Pitt can act this kind of character that good! However, I'm not really into this movie that much. Or maybe because I was not in the mood that time?
Oh Friends, lend me your thumbs please.
I love 'based on true story/event' kind of movies. It makes me think:"OMG, is this really happen in real life?"
Skip the story summary thing. Thank goodness I watched this after 'Burn After Reading', it was kinda relief that 'Good, John Malkovich is still a serious guy'. Angelina Jolie is great in this, and I must say, she worth an Oscar for this. But, some expressions of her is quite...'numb'? Or maybe it's because of her over-reddish lipsticks I not sure. (Makeup Artists, her lips are huge enough don't give her any red lipstick already lah) Other than that, it's superb, extra credit for her.
The story itself is really a good one, plus a good script, good actors and actresses, and also, good director. I think I was distracted by cross stitch, I didn't cry while watching this. Argh.
Those who don't like gay movies, or quite 'sensitive' with censored scenes, please avoid this film. Others, you may proceed.
The plot itself is a twist: a man stuck in between the king and queen.
I quite admire the two adult guys enjoying their sweet relationship (exclude the intimate part =.=), being with their loved ones, doing their favourite things together, having that 'sweet happy' smile on their face whenever they are with each other or thinking about each other. Awww, that just so pure love.
Please refer to this and this for more details about this movie, they generally tell you the whole story already, and it's funneh, and it's in Mandarin.
p/s: Catherine looks so 'plastic' and alike mannequin in this poster :x
After 10 episodes without Grissom, luckily I still find this series watchable.
Dr. Raymond Langston don't really take Grissom's place, at all, BUT, his involvement is not that bad after all. Plus, there are sparks between Hodges and Wendy! That's just cute! Especially in episode 20: A Space Oddity. This combination is just cute! ^^
For some reason, I don't like Riley Adams.
Oh btw, I'm going outstation this labour day holiday! Yay! ^^

Much maligned is the dick pic, and for good reason.
"It seems like such a dumb thing," comedian Aziz Ansari commented after his third full-length stand-up special Buried Alive riffed on phallus auto-documentation. At one point in his act, Ansari asked the female members of the audience to cheer. Raucous applause. Then he requested that the female members of the audience who had received a dick pic cheer. The cheers were the same. "I just don't understand the logic behind it," he said later. "A dick is a very dumb-looking, boring thing."
For the record, this author agrees with none of that, but I'll allow that the dick pic does leave itself open to derision. Many see it as comedy masquerading as erotica, or worse. During the weeks in which I have been journalistically obsessed with dick pics, individuals of all genders and sexual orientations have told me they find them "silly", "gross", "uncomfortable" – though most allowed that they had seen "good ones."
Why so little love for the cock? It is important to remember that many of our experiences with the dick pic are nonconsensual. Women and others are often subjected to the sight of penises under traumatic circumstances – the text that comes from nowhere, a strange hiccup in chat flow with a potential date on an hookup app. In real life, penises can jump out at you from beneath khaki trenches or the fists of inappropriate individuals on public transportation. Dicks can be a bit jarring.
Surely female flashers do exist in the world – a quick Google search reveals isolated incidents, like a Davis, California woman who exposed herself to bike trail passers-by last summer, though even she had a male companion photo-documenting the process. By and large – save for the amazing work being done by feminist pornographers — female nudity is regarded as something that is created for the viewer's pleasure. Self-determination is assumed only in the context of male nudity. Perhaps dick pics make us feel funny because they are the manifestation of the dick's needs, not our own.
So thank Gaia for Madeleine Holden, critic of dick pics. Holden is a 26 year old New Zealand lawyer and occasional, hyper-informed feminist hip-hop writer (her essay on Lil Wayne's contribution to the world of cunnilingus rap gave me chills). She is also the progenitor of Critique My Dick Pic, a Tumblr in which she does just that. The site is so popular that at one point she sought to stem the tide of phallic user submissions by removing her contact email from the site. That email address has since been reinstated, with a note that special consideration is given to the dicks of transpeople and POCs.
Holden gives honest assessments of dick pics based not on girth or width but rather aesthetics, tone, personality. It's a community service, she explains. "I don't find dick pics particularly significant," she wrote when I struck an Internet convo with her, my new Internet heroine. "The reason I started a blog about them is because they are generally so dismal: usually thrust at women unsolicited, and of terrible quality."
Review here.
She does think that dick pics are more than the sum of their private parts, however. "I don't think a website about vag shots would have the same impact or point," Holden continued. "Vag shots aren't a cultural phenomenon like dick pics are; they aren't thrust at men on a mass scale without men's consent. I think women are critiqued enough, anyway."
She is staunchly against what is referred to as "log" shots – close-ups of the dick, sans contextualizing body parts like a caressing hand or velvety thigh. Put yourself into your dick pic, Holden counsels. Just don't go overboard. Take heed of the warning she imparted to the hapless dick picker who sent her a shot of his penis pressed into the juncture of two mirrored walls, creating a visually striking cock flower: "Sender, you're doing too much here. It's funny, but you're definitely doing too much … You've got this symmetrical quad-dick thing going on, but I'm failing to see what's being achieved here. It's a childlike dick pic, where you make a funny face in a mirror and you want to show it to everyone because it's so funny, except it's your dick."
He receives a C+, a cautionary note to those who would value humor over eroticism in their dick pic. High marks are reserved for those who pay attention to lighting, symmetry and route of encounter with the camera. Shots in which dicks look too aggressive angled at the camera get panned.
Review here.
The blog is calmly well-written, mature, trans-positive and anti-racist. It provides feminine gaze in a genre dominated by male desire. The senders of dick pics no longer are texting their cocks into the abyss. Here, their output is collected and openly assessed. Submission is voluntary, but even for gents who would never email Holden proof of rod, Critique My Dick Pic serves as reminder that photos of your genitals should be composed with the intended viewer's needs in mind.
Holden says that there are two things that one needs to take a good dick pic: a dick, and the ability to read her Tumblr. She's a woman on a mission to better mankind. "I saw potential for them to be much more erotic than they tend to be," she writes. "And that's the point of the blog: to encourage better dick pics."

The remaining vehicles from the estate of James Petrozzini will be offered at Mecum's 2019 Chicago auction, October 24-26; to view the Chicago offerings, click here.
The late James Petrozzini was a man of discerning tastes and excellent investment sense. After getting a jump on real estate development in the city of Chicago in the early 1960s, Petrozzini founded Lincoln Park Property Management, which today is one of the largest residential development companies on the North Side. That successful career and resulting financial fortune allowed Petrozzini the ability to indulge in his keen appreciation for fine art and antique automobiles and to acquire and care for those he considered to be the best in the world. Six of his amazing autos will cross the auction block this August in Monterey, while the remaining vehicles, of which there are nearly 100, will stay in sweet home Chicago until their turn to parade across the Mecum red carpet at the Chicago 2019 auction this October.
A connoisseur and aficionado of many varying art forms, Petrozzini was also an accomplished artist himself—a musician, to be precise. As a semi-professional piano player, Petrozzini released a number of rock 'n' roll records under a stage name in his younger years, not necessarily vying for audience attention, but rather in pursuit of a healthy artistic outlet. Often, for artists and collectors alike, creating, curating or even just enjoying art is itself the point—no audience required. And for Petrozzini, he was more than content to enjoy his various collections and art curations in private, away from prying eyes.
Though Chicago may be a metropolis, teeming with life and the relentless bustling of business and busybodies, Petrozzini somehow managed to tuck his massive collection of desirable classic cars into a private storage facility at the heart of it all.
With the extensive selection of hidden treasure finally released from extended internment, several of his finest vehicles are now slated to cross the auction block at The Daytime Auction this August in Monterey. As a man possessed of both passion and means, Petrozzini certainly didn't limit himself to just six vehicles, regardless of their extreme collectability; rather, these six cars are only the tip of the ice berg.
The remaining vehicles from the estate of James Petrozzini will be offered at auction in the city that made this collection possible, at Mecum's 2019 Chicago auction, October 24-26. To view the rest of the Petrozzini estate vehicles to cross the block at Chicago, click here.

The Minister for Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation and Chairman of the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining (IMCIM), Prof Kwabena Frimpong Boateng has paid a three-day working visit to Operation Vanguard's area of operations.
The visit, was to enable him establish the progress the Taskforce was making in the fight against illegal mining and challenges personnel were facing in the discharge of their duties.
This was contained in a statement issued to the Ghana News Agency, by Captain Andy Sowatey, Public Relations Officer of Operation Vanguard.
The statement said, Professor Frimpong Boateng assured them of government's unfailing support for the Taskforce in the fight against illegal mining.
The statement said, during the tour, which took him to the Forward Operating Bases (FOBs) of the Taskforce in the Eastern, Ashanti, Central and Western Regions, Prof Frimpong-Boateng emphasised the need for effective coordination between all elements engaged in the fight.
At Akatakyieso, in the Amansie Central District in the Ashanti Region, he addressed a community gathering on some areas of concern.
He expressed displeasure both on his part and that of Operation Vanguard over unfounded allegations with regards to bribery involving some of the Taskforce's personnel.
Regarding the just launched Community Mining Initiative, he stated that government's interest was not in halting small-scale mining, but to ensure that it was done responsibly.
He extended President Nana Akufo Addo's appreciation for efforts the Taskforce was making and its success so far in the fight against illegal mining and commended the Operation Vanguard Taskforce for their professionalism and dedication to duty.
