* India's competitors can sell to Iran as restrictions ease
* Pakistan may recoup lost share in basmati rice exports
* Indian exporters will be forced to bring down prices
By Rajendra Jadhav
MUMBAI, Nov 27 India's near-monopoly in rice and soymeal exports to Iran could break following Tehran's nuclear deal with the West which is expected to pave the way for rival suppliers to boost their trading with the oil-rich country.
The landmark deal struck between the Islamic Republic and six world powers on Sunday eases some of the sanctions on trade with Iran that have slashed the OPEC member's oil exports by more than half and narrowed its options to secure food and agriculture goods to just a few countries.
The sanctions forced India to trim oil purchases from Iran, but it remained a loyal and large customer. In 2012 as sanctions stalled dollar payments, it started settling part of its oil debt in rupees and Iran was using those to buy goods from India.
That trade in rupees gave India an edge over other rice and soymeal suppliers such as Pakistan and Brazil who do not have such huge debts with Tehran and quickly the south Asian country established a near-monopoly in exports.
"Rice exports to Iran rose as India had an advantage over other suppliers in payment mechanism. As sanctions are easing, India has to become much more competitive to retain the share," R.S. Seshadri, director of Gurgaon-based rice exporter Tilda Riceland, told Reuters.
"Pakistan, Thailand lost share, but they can start grabbing that share again once financial institutions start trade with Iran in dollar terms," he said.
India's rice exports to Tehran, mainly of the basmati variety, surged 80 percent in the year ended March 31, 2013 from a year ago to 1.1 million tonnes. During the same period, shipments of soymeal jumped nearly four-fold to 886,776 tonnes.
Iran's difficulties in securing rice and soymeal from other producers due to the sanctions prompted Indian exporters to seek hefty premiums over global prices, sometimes as high as 20 percent. But that premium has to come down now.
"Dollar trade would end India's monopoly. We can't take Iran for granted. We need to rationalise our prices," said a rice exporter based in the northern state of Punjab, who did not want to be named.
Like India, Pakistan was a leading rice supplier to Iran as it had a freight advantage, but due to the Western sanctions its shipments dwindled last year.
But as restrictions are set to ease, "Pakistan can become a major player as it has a logistical advantage over India", Seshadri of Tilda Riceland said.
"Rupee payment helped India in increasing soymeal shipments. Iran is paying higher prices compared to other buyers," said Rajesh Agrawal, chief co-ordinator at the Soybean Processors' Association of India (SOPA), a trade body.
Now, Indian exporters "need to align prices in line with international prices", otherwise India will lose its share, Agarwal said.
But that could prove a difficult task for exporters. The competition among them due to the robust Iran demand has doubled prices across India of basmati rice and soybean in the past two years and now local farmers see little reason for discounts.
A lack of supplies domestically has halved soybean crushing and farmers are holding back in the hope that local prices will stay high, said a spokesman with India's largest soymeal exporter, Ruchi Soya Industries Limited.
"Right now our soybean prices are high, we are not competitive in the world market. Even at this price some farmers are not willing to sell," SOPA's Agrawal said. (Editing by Jo Winterbottom and Muralikumar Anantharaman)

Like most things, the title says it all really. Tyreke Evans, DeMarcus Cousins and Isaiah Thomas were so sloppy that between those 3 they must have cost the Kings at least 20 points minimum.Tyreke missed one of the easiest layups in the most inexplicable of ways, Cousins couldn't really continue his success after the 3rd qtr, and Thomas hit 2 3's and proceeded to miss everything else (passes, shots or otherwise). That was ballgame right there.
So, that's the game. There were other things. Here is the box score, and the jump....
* Tyreke Evans was ridiculously terrible in his shot selection. Some were just missed shots, but like I said up top the layup where all Tyreke literally had to do was go up and score was ridiculous. What did Tyreke do? He tried to go up and under the basket rather than put up the shot from where Reke caught the ball.
At times Tyreke was effective, but for the most part Tyreke was terrible in many ways tonight. Bad bad game for him. (Yes I know Reke had 7 assists and 5 boards. I do not care. That's what Tyreke needs to do every night.)
* DeMarcus Cousins was tremendous on the offensive end for 3 qtrs. Then inexplicably, like the rest of the Kings, somehow internally imploded and couldn't hang with the Hawks. I'll say this about Cousins: He did end up playing 36 minutes which is nice to see.
Cousins went 10-17 from the floor, and if not for his ridiculously bad 4th qtr that would have been a better percentage. Cuz ended up with 28 points, 12 boards (a somewhat inflated total given how the game transpired--but that's not all Cuz's fault and the inflation was not a result of Cuz's Moses Malone impression), 2 exceptional assists (one of which was a pretty pick and roll with Tyreke Evans in the 1st qtr), and 3 steals. Cuz also fouled out after another bad pass that resulted in fouling Marvin Williams as Williams leaked out for an easy basket. We will remember this play at the end of the season though:
* Marcus Thornton did not have a good game. 3 TO's says a lot, but there were some bad shots and some shots missed too. It happens so I'm not too concerned about MT23 at this point.
* Isaiah struggled tonight with the exception of the 2 made 3's in the early 3rd. Hey he's a rookie. That happens too. Isaiah didn't drop all the way to the 60th pick for no reason.
* John Salmons had a really good offensive game, and with the exception of a soft pass in the late 4th, really brought his A offensive game. Salmons was pretty good defensively too. John's season 3pt% is now at 31.6%, his season FG% is now at 40.5%, and the season TS% is now at 46.8%. Check out Beno Udrih's stats by comparison. (Spoiler alert: Beno has not played well at all this year.) I also suspect that John Salmons ORtg and DRtg will move in the right direction after tonight. Coming into the game Salmons ORtg was 97 and his DRtg was 111. I'd be shocked if it didn't become 99 for the ORtg and 110 for the DRtg. Baby steps.
* Jimmer Fredette had a quality game again tonight. I was impressed with the play in the 2nd quarter that Jimmer made by keeping his dribble alive and then passing the ball in a tight spot to Chuck Hayes for a layup. That was the greatest of the 4 assists Jimmer had in the game. Jimmer was 5-9 (including 2-5 from 3) and a steal as well. Jimmer's season TS% (who would have been my pick to lead the Kings in TS% at the start of the season) is now at 51.9% and climbing. This Jimmer Fredette earned his 24 minutes tonight. Jimmer has responded to Keith Smart, and that's the best thing. When Jimmer plays like this he earns his minutes, and that's all any coach, including Smart, can ask for. Jimmer gave Smart reasons to keep Jimmer on the floor, and that will only help Jimmer moving ahead in his career. As fabulous as Isaiah Thomas mania is, what makes Thomas so valuable is his fit. Jimmer on the other hand requires attention and can still hit plenty of shots anyway. That's what make Jimmer so interesting moving forward.
* Chuck Hayes went 2-3 from the floor again tonight, and his season TS% is now 43.9% (up from 49.5%). Good times.
* In general, the Kings bench had 39 of the Kings 99 points, and when you include Cuz that figure rises to 57 points. If the Kings only get 42 points from Thornton, Evans, Thompson and Thomas the Kings will continue to lose the way they did tonight.
* I'm not a big fan of Josh Smith but tonight he had it really going. (13-23 from the floor but 1-6 from the line.) Would I trade Tyreke Evans for Smith as Akis Yerocostas suggested last night? I wouldn't if only because Tyreke can create mis-matches in a way Josh Smith cannot. While Tyreke is not creating those mis-matches consistently these days in part due to playing the 3 spot, the issue with Tyreke is can he create enough of a diverse game. At 22 years old that is still a possibility. Josh Smith is a guy with a career TS% similar to Tyreke's (despite Smith being 26). Smith is not a great 3 pt shooter, and I'm not sure his personality is the kind the Kings need to add in their locker room right now. There are plenty of issue's with Josh Smith, not all bad, and there are plenty of reasons why some fans would want him. I'm just not one of those. My biggest reason is that Smith is not a guy who embraces his greatest asset (low post play), and is not always a guy who plays at his best.
I would be willing to trade Tyreke Evans for a big upgrade, but given some of his response to Keith Smart I think the Kings will likely hold onto Evans for the next couple of years until it's clear Tyreke cannot change. The potential upside and ability of Tyreke is likely better than anything you will get in the best trade scenariors (Josh Smith included) no matter what.
Again, that's the conundrum of making trades in the NBA. Not every trade will work, nor can every trade end up working. Often, it's about your stars being great talents, and finding the right supporting pieces to those stars. That's all much easier said than done obviously.
* The Kings committed 16 TO's that Atlanta converted into 21 points, and the Hawks committed 17 TO's that the Kings converted into 15 points. Atlanta had 2 more points on the FT line (23 attempts to the Kings 17), and the Hawks outscored the Kings in the paint 46-40.
* The rebounding just absolutely killed the Kings tonight, and much of that is on Hayes, Thompson, Cousins and Greene. You can't be on the court for as long as all were and come away with 18 total boards (Cuz had 12). There were many balls the Kings were being beaten on all night, and the hustle ended up translating to the Hawks run. My favorite moment on the boards where Isaiah Thomas was sandwiched between 2 Hawks and the ball went off Atlanta. That was only the great moment on the boards where I thought the Kings were exceptional all night. When Josh Smith got hot in the 3rd qtr, the Kings hung around but could never quite make that real run to get back in the game. Again, ballgame.
My last thought(s) is that the Hawks came into the game 23-17, had the veteran team, and the Kings came into the game 14-26 and are a young team. The Hawks knew they were in a fight, and came prepared. They ran their sets, ran the plays they wanted, and ultimately rode a Josh Smith great performance into a win. That's what good quality teams do, and hopefully the Kings learn that you can't play halfass clownball and expect to win at the NBA level. That **** does not work.The Kings clearly showed they are not ready for success yet, and I suppose that was understandable. I personally was screaming at the computer at different points tonight because of all the soft passes and ridiculous plays being made. Tonight was not a great game for this young Kings team, and the Kings were not at their best. Some of that was the Hawks, but some of that is the Kings real lingering immaturity issue's that have not been quite put away just yet. It's not like we should expect the mid 80s Showtime Lakers to show up tomorrow.
This Kings team is not a finished product, but day in day out some real encouraging signs emerge from these games. That is the good news, and this team is not nearly as awful as the Charlotte Bobcats are for example. Cousins was dominate for 3 qtrs, picked up 4 fouls in the process, and didn't duplicate the success in the 4th qtr. Thomas got too excited and made some terrible shot selections in the 3rd qtr. Thornton didn't play incredibly well. On the other end the bench has become a very reliable unit with 3 veterans (Hayes, Salmons and Garcia) along with a talented rookie who has not surprisingly played significantly better. (I think when Jimmer plays with guys who know how to make plays the way the Kings older guys know how to make Jimmer feels a lot less pressure.)
What cost the Kings game was the sloppy play, and the lack of ball movement on offense in the 2nd half (it was not very good in the 1st qtr either). Simple as that. Once this Kings team learns it's not nearly enough to just play hard, you have to execute and make shots to win games in the NBA. The NBA is far too good with way too much talent to ever think otherwise. And I don't mean to become a championship team either. I mean to become an average 500 level team. To be a championship team you have to be much much much much better far more consistently than this Kings team is capable of these days. Flashes emerge here and there and once in awhile, but for the most part none of it is consistent.
Until the flip side appears with a pretty rainbow and a bow on top. Debbie Downer out.

The Atlanta Braves and pitcher Tom Glavine moved close to agreement on a one-year contract, as the pitcher's agent confirmed that a deal could be in place as early as Sunday night.
"We're as close as you can be without doing a deal," agent Gregg Clifton told ESPN.com. "We're maybe one or two phone calls away."
Sources confirmed reports that Glavine's pending deal with Atlanta will be for one year in the $8 million range. While Glavine was flying home from a memorabilia show in Chicago, Clifton said he expected to be in contact with Braves general manager Frank Wren late Sunday night.
Glavine, 41, became a free agent when he declined a $13 million option with the New York Mets in early October. He went 13-8 with a 4.45 ERA for New York last season and became the 23rd pitcher in history to join the 300-win club. With 303 career victories, Glavine is the fifth winningest left-hander of all-time.
Glavine wants to pitch in Atlanta to be closer to his family. He broke in with the Braves in 1987 and spent his first 16 major league seasons in Atlanta. During that period, he compiled a 242-143 record, won two Cy Young Awards, made eight All-Star teams, was a five-time 20-game winner, and beat Cleveland 1-0 in the climactic Game 6 of the 1995 World Series.
Once Glavine signs with the Braves, he will join John Smoltz and
Tim Hudson at the top of the Atlanta rotation. The Braves are also hoping for a return to form by Mike Hampton, who is trying to come back from reconstructive elbow surgery.
Glavine will be the second 41-year-old starter to sign a free-agent deal this offseason. Curt Schilling agreed to terms with Boston on a one-year, guaranteed $8 million contract two weeks ago.

Product Description
"Few writers can sustain a plot as well as Malorie Blackman" (Sunday Telegraph)
"The danger of being sucked into and destroyed by this violent world is brilliantly handled by Blackman . . . Blackman hangs an old story on a modern frame with terrific resonance" (Inis)
"Blackman gets people, especially young adults, in all their tentativeness, determination and energy. She gets humanity as a whole, too. Most of all she writes a stonking good story" (Carousel)
"This is a highly intelligent thriller with important things to say, and once again the distance between Blackman's imagined world and present-day inner city is beautifully judged. It deserves, and will find, a wide teenage readership" (The School Librarian)
"It fizzes with strong emotion and grips with its authenticity, a highly-skilled piece of writing by a writer with all the right instincts . . . Gutsy, spot-on and relevant . . . and shocking too. A great read" (Phil Hewitt Chichester Observer) -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Paperback.
Book Description
The fourth novel in the award-winning Noughts & Crosses sequence - this powerful thriller also tackles new territory as its characters are caught up not just in race but also gang conflict.

This book picks up a few weeks after the ending of Checkmate and follows Toby and Callie through some tough times. Having had nothing from Toby's persective before, it was really interesting learning more about him and finding things about him I wouldn't have guessed from Callie's view of him in Checkmate. As with the pervious books, you are really drawn in to the characters world and feel the ups and downs with them, understanding how they end up in the bad situations they do. Most of this book is from Toby's persective as you see him stuggling to accept that he's still seen as lower class and has no money for the things he wants (like college) because of it. The effects that has on his relationship with Callie, and most importantly how he views himself at the end of it all.
Really heartfelt, lots of twists and turns. Places you wouldn't expect it to go, yet is completely believeable. Despite being set in an alteritive world most of it is still possible, and present, in our world. Still makes you stop and think about things as the previous books have done without stopping it from being a great read. Highly recommend the whole series to anyone, teens and adults alike, as I think there is a lot that can be learned from them. Great book.
The reader is bought on Callie and Tobeys journey one which you don't want to end, but like all things it must.
Your left realing and trying to guess what happens next but like all good authors Blackman continuees to push boundaires and surprise the reader.
Although beautifully finished I'm hoping this isn't the last, say it isn't so!
If you're reading this book it's likely that you will have read the other three so will know all about the family's traumatic history. However, if you've never heard of Sephy and Callie, there is plenty of history covered in the first few chapters which is also handy as a reminder if it's been a while since you read the originals.
The series is written for a young adult audience but don't let that put you off if you are older as it has a strong fast moving plot at its core.
Here though, the story seems to lose focus. We've moved on from Sephy's story and we've even moved on from Callie's story both of which I missed.
Tobie is introduced at the beginning of the novel where the plot takes up immediately from the end of the last book which has given the characters no time to develop - maybe a year of so would have allowed them to grow up and given this book a clear identity rather than seeming to be just an extension of the others. Tobie is an annoying character, balancing a knowledge of everything with utter naivety. Disappointingly, he seems to be created from teenager clichés playing in a world where he is trying to get the better of some supposedly very tough gangsters.
As ever with this author, the book is written well but there is a lot to be disappointed with. I won't read another in this series if it is written.
I loved this book as it was full of shocks and things that make you go, "what the...!" The main characters follow on from the last book, Checkmate, with the introduction of one more main character, Toby. Totally gripped, couldn't put this book down, it is now doing the rounds of my friends, I even had to fight my mum for it! A must read for all teens.

Laguna de Guatavita is located in the municipality of Sesquil€, in the Cundinamarca Department of Colombia, 35 miles north-east of Bogot', capital of the Republic of Colombia. It is a circular lake in the mountains in what appears to be a meteor crater. However, the origins of the crater are unclear.
Myths and Legends
Laguna de Guatavita was reputedly one of the sacred lakes of the Muisca, and a ritual conducted there is The Zipa used to cover his body in gold dust and, from his raft, he widely thought to be the basis for the legend of El offered treasures to the Guatavita goddess in the middle of the [2] sacred lake. This old Muisca tradition became the origin of El Dorado. The legend says the lake is where the Muisca Dorado legend. This model is on display in the Gold Museum, celebrated a ritual in which the Zipa (named "El Dorado" Bogot', Colombia by the Conquistadores) was covered in gold dust, then venturing out into the water on a ceremonial raft made of rushes, he dived into the waters, washing off the gold. Afterward, trinkets, jewelry, and other precious offerings were thrown into the waters by worshipers. A few artifacts of gold and silver found at bottom hold proof to this claim; however, to date, the trips to the bottom of the lake have yielded no more than these (see below). Another one of the Pre-Columbian myths concerning Lake Guatavita is of a local tribal Cacique (chief) and the serpent god believed to live in the waters. After discovering that one of his wives had been unfaithful to him, the chief ordered her lover's murder and then his wife was forced to eat the dead man's sexual organs. He also paid musicians to compose and sing songs about her infidelity around the town. His wife then fled from home with her baby daughter, and flung herself and the child into the lake. Upon hearing the news of this, the chief sorrowfully regretted his actions, and begged for help from the local shaman, asking him to find a way of bringing her and the baby back.

This man is DANGEROUS. He is a pathological LIAR. He is INDIFFERENT to the TRUTH, FACTS, EVIDENCE, PROOF and REASON. Those are the cornerstones of JUSTICE. Those are the FIRST PRINCIPLES of JUSTICE and SCIENCE. This is a glaring EXAMPLE of a NARCISSISTIC SELF-AGGRANDIZING EXAGGERATION. This is two blatant LIES in 18 seconds. The first LIE: "Nobody knows the system better than me." That is a blatant LIE. There are many EXPERTS who KNOW the SYSTEM much BETTER than Donald Trump. Then he says, "Which is why I alone CAN fix it." That's NOT TRUE. Most likely he CANNOT fix it. There are others who CAN. That's two blatant LIES in 18 seconds.

This web page is a LONG ILLUSTRATED SCROLL about a FUTURISTIC BANKING SYSTEM that does away with TAXES, DEBTS, BILLS, POVERTY, TERRORISM and WAR while PROVIDING a Basic Income Guarantee (BIG) and FREE UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE and FREE EDUCATION while PAYING DOCTORS, NURSES, TEACHERS and SCIENTISTS GENEROUSLY. You CAN SAVE this web page as HTML only and it WILL DISPLAY PROPERLY as a document on your Computer. Here is this ENTIRE web page as it APPEARED on June 26, 2016 in the FORM of a 92 page Adobe Acrobat PDF document: 2016-06-26_DEFINE.COM.pdf (91.5 MB). This is my Message to the Congress of the United States of America. I am GIVING them a GOOD SEVERANCE PACKAGE.
We HAVE the TECHNOLOGY to END POVERTY and WAR and TERRORISM IMMEDIATELY. We CAN AFFORD to MAKE this TRANSITION to a NEW BANKING MODEL. This BANKING SYSTEM would apply to Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria and Saudi Arabia as well. This applies to Europe, Russia, India, China, Africa, North America, Central America, South America, Cuba and EVERYWHERE else. This applies to ALL the NATIONS in the UNITED NATIONS. This is a World Wide FREE and REAL TIME ONLINE BANKING SYSTEM. This is ELECTRONIC DEMOCRACY to the EXTREME. This is my SUGGESTION for a COMPASSIONATE and MERCIFUL FREE and REAL TIME ONLINE WORLD BANK.
If there is a COMPASSIONATE and MERCIFUL God, this would be DIVINE WILL, I'm sure of it, as I DEFINE COMPASSION and MERCY and FREE WILL. I am NOT ALLOWED to WORSHIP a SINGLE DEITY as DEFINED by MAN. The HUMAN Powers That Be were CORRUPT when those books were written. They LIED to the CITIZENS to CONTROL them. They USED VIOLENCE and COERCION and THREATS to CONTROL the CITIZENS. WOMEN were PROPERTY. They were SEX SLAVES, COOKS and MAIDS. WOMEN PROVIDED ASSISTANCE with REARING the INEVITABLE OFFSPRING.
I'm SECULAR enough for the TASK at hand. FREE WILL is DIVINE. LIBERTY, SECURITY, PRIVACY, SAFETY. HEALTH. JUSTICE (TRUTH, FACTS, EVIDENCE, PROOF). That's my SECULAR CONSTITUTION of FIRST PRINCIPLES. ALL the REST is Ken ELABORATING on Those. Ken recently added, COMPASSIONATE and MERCIFUL and HEAL the WORLD. We CALL Ken a DO GOODER. He MEANS WELL. He TRIES to EARN FAVOR and PROTECTION from the SECULAR gods and the MONOTHEISTS' ALIKE. He is a COMPUTERIZED OPTIMIZATION of a SAVIOR based on Ken's LIFE EXPERIENCE.
He STARTED OUT as a Catholic CHILD who SUSPECTED a LEADERSHIP DEFICIT and SOME HYPOCRACY. GENDER EQUALITY and BIRTH CONTROL, for EXAMPLE. WOMEN are MORE than BABY-MAKING SEX MACHINES. What would a COMPASSIONATE and MERCIFUL God want? They've GOT it ALL BACKWARDS. To the ENTIRE LEADERSHIP of the Catholic Church: You are CORRUPT. You're FIRED! You are LYING to the FAITHFUL. That is an ABUSE of Power of a HIGH ORDER.
This is my GLOBAL SOLUTION to ISIS and TERRORISM. My APPROACH is VERY UNCONVENTIONAL and I THINK you WILL BENEFIT from CONSIDERING these IDEAS DELIVERED to you in this VERY UNCONVENTIONAL STYLE. I am CONSIDERING what is in the BEST INTEREST of ALL of the CITIZENS. We HAVE to MOVE FORWARD in the NAME of PEACE and FREE WILL. I am VERY PROGRESSIVE, but I've DEVISED a WAY to be a Socialist in a World Wide BANKING SYSTEM that eliminates ALL TAXATION, DEBTS and BILLS.
This is my CALL to the WORLD to BRING these CHANGES ABOUT IMMEDIATELY. I am COMPELLED to DEMAND it PUBLICLY. This TECHNOLOGY is off-the-shelf. We CAN do this TODAY. We CAN CREATE a FUNDING MECHANISM that GIVES us an UNLIMITED BUDGET for EVERYTHING, including GREEN ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE.
I attempt to be a GOOD Messenger of the scientific community, although I am JUST an EDUCATED NOVICE myself. The SCIENTISTS I RESPECT the MOST do not reply to my e-mails. I'm 50 years old and LIVING on Social Security Disability for a SEVERE MENTAL ILLNESS. I do NOT want to LOSE my INCOME. I am a Mascot and Cheerleader of the ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY COMMUNITY, although I WILL HAVE to DEFER to them to WORK out the SPECIFICS of my BANKING SYSTEM. These are VERY GENERAL CONCEPTS. This is an OVERVIEW. In my OPINION, this is what we NEED from a TOP-DOWN and BOTTOM-UP PERSPECTIVE. We NEED a COMPASSIONATE and MERCIFUL MONETARY SYSTEM.
I WILL STATE the OBVIOUS in TERMS of the OVERALL HUMANITARIAN GOALS and I WILL CONVEY the GENERAL CONCEPTS from an INTELLIGENT LAYPERSON's PERSPECTIVE. Then I hand the project over to the EXPERTS to DESIGN, IMPLEMENT and MAINTAIN. I am a HIGH LEVEL DESIGNER who is STATING the OVERALL VISION, SOCIAL and ECONOMIC GOALS and FIRST PRINCIPLES for the CONCEPT in GENERAL. This is the FOUNDING VISION. I do NOT DESIGN the DETAILS. My ROLE is to PROMOTE the POSSIBILITIES for ADVANCED TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTIONS to ALL the WORLD's PROBLEMS. This is my FULL-TIME JOB. This is me SAVING the WORLD.
I TELL Uncle Sam that I am an ADVANCED NANOTECHNOLOGY-based REMOTELY-CONTROLLED HUMAN-ROBOT HYBRID SECULAR SAVIOR of HUMANITY and they GIVE me a monthly stipend of $1709 and PAY 100% of my MEDICAL BILLS after my $155/month for my Medicaid SUPPLEMENTAL to Medicare. I have a $1.20 co-pay on each my medications. They PAY the rest. They DENY HAVING ADVANCED NANOTECHNOLOGY. I MAKE my CASE that it EXISTS TODAY. I'm sure they have LOTS of ROBOTS and SAVIORS on the PAYROLL. My STORY is REALLY FLESHED-OUT and I PROVIDE PLENTY of EVIDENCE. I HAVE BEEN INVOLUNTARILY COMMITTED four times. I CANNOT LEGALLY OWN a GUN. PLEASE DO NOT KILL me. I am DEFENSELESS.
The TRUTH of the MATTER is that I FEEL PERFECTLY SAFE and WELL DEFENDED. That is EVIDENCE of me BEING DELUSIONAL or SUICIDAL by CONTEMPORARY STANDARDS. I SEEK to PRESENT SOME NEWER, MORE FUTURISTIC STANDARDS. My SITUATION is SECURE. I MAY be DELUSIONAL, but I'm NOT SUICIDAL. Here are my GPS COORDINATES. I either LIVE or I get KILLED. In the MEAN TIME I FEEL SAFE. That's my STORY and I'm STICKING TO IT. TREAT my MOTHER with KINDNESS. RESPECT our PRIVACY. LEAVE us ALONE. PLEASE DO NOT KILL us. DO NO HARM to us.
I am a JOURNALIST. This is my JOURNAL. I ENJOY FREEDOM of SPEECH and FREEDOM of the PRESS. I am VERY CRITICAL of The HUMAN Powers That Be. I SUGGEST that we MAKE a World Wide Quantum Leap to a NEW WORLD ORDER. I SUGGEST a NEW MONETARY SYSTEM. I'd like to see what the scientists CAN DO with RADIO WAVES in TERMS of MAKING the MOBILE INTERNET TRULY UBIQUITOUS and FREE on a GLOBAL SCALE.
I am a VERY PROLIFIC WRITER, but unfortunately my blogging STYLE, with the WAY I USE COLOR-CODED WORDS as FULL WIDTH TITLES, MEANS that this document will need to be FULLY TRANSLATED GRAPHICAL TITLE by GRAPHICAL TITLE if the document is to be APPRECIATED FULLY by non-English SPEAKERS. This web page would look cool in ARABIC, FARSI, MANDARIN CHINESE or KOREAN. SAME COLOR-CODING, DIFFERENT LANGUAGE.
This is the WAY I USE my WORDS. If this document is to be TRANSLATED into other LANGUAGES, I WILL PREFER that the COLOR-CODED TITLES be recreated and displayed in the same SEQUENTIAL ORDER as well. This document is meant to be PRESENTED as a SORT of MAGICAL SCROLL. This is my LANGUAGE. It is a SEQUENCE of HIGH-LEVEL CONCEPTS and CATEGORIES in a VERY SPECIFIC ORDER.
I use a lot of REPETITION and VISUAL PATTERNS. I have IMAGE and TITLE SEQUENCES that are REPEATED THROUGHOUT the document. I personally CANNOT afford to have these COLOR-CODED TITLES TRANSLATED into other LANGUAGES. I am an EDUCATIONAL NONPROFIT GLOBAL PEACE INITIATIVE. I want this Message to be UNIVERSAL. If you CAN HELP with TRANSLATION I WILL APPRECIATE it VERY MUCH.
For non-English SPEAKERS who are USING Google Translate, I have included a few PARAGRAPHS of TRANSLATABLE TEXT THROUGHOUT this 92 page document, with my Myers-Briggs PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE BEING TRANSLATABLE. I MAKE my CASE that I AM a HUMAN BEING. The TITLES and IMAGES have ALT and TITLE tags on the HTML web page. That TRANSLATABLE INFORMATION is LOST in the PDF document.
This document REPRESENTS my APPEAL to the United States Congress to PERMIT the scientific community to USE MASSIVELY PARALLEL SUPERCOMPUTING to CREATE a FREE and REAL TIME ONLINE PRIVATE CENTRAL WORLD BANK. We PHASE-OUT the CURRENT WORLD GOVERNMENT in a PEACEFUL WAY that ENDS UP BEING BENEFICIAL for EVERYBODY.
I TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY for my WORDS and the CONSEQUENCES they CREATE, although I'd like to believe that HIGHER POWERS did SOME, if NOT ALL, of the DRIVING. I am BESIDE myself MOST of the TIME. If I am MIND-CONTROLLED, I am HAPPY with the EXPERIENCE. If I am a ROBOT, I FEEL that my HUMANITY is INTACT. I try to be a GOOD Messenger of the IDEAS of those I RESPECT. I am OPEN and TRANSPARENT, as I believe you WILL AGREE after STUDYING the EVIDENCE.
I provide a full on document dump here: https://define.com/effdefine. These are documents I've SHARED with the AUTHORITIES and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. PARDON the TITLES and GRAPHICS. SCROLL down for the directory listing. Like the Electronic Frontier Foundation, I am an ADVOCATE for END-TO-END UNBREAKABLE ENCRYPTION. I DISMANTLE the POLICE STATE. In my own, IMPROVED, STATE, FREE WILL is CELEBRATED and the POLICE and BANKING SYSTEM are COMPASSIONATE and MERCIFUL.
Try defining "effdefine" to see my Message to the Electronic Frontier Foundation. This is a SERIOUS Messenger with a SERIOUS Message. https://define.com/effdefine. This website is here to HEAL the WORLD. I come in Peace. I mean you NO HARM. Please DO NOT KILL me. I'm OPENLY SECULAR and SHARE my home address. I admit that I am a Pagan. I CELEBRATE Carl Sagan and Marvin Minsky, who are both Atheists. I'm NOT AFRAID of Muslims, Christians or Jews. Muslims worship the COMPASSIONATE and MERCIFUL. I do away with the mythology and characters and CULTS of PERSONALITY and just make COMPASSION and MERCY the MOST CRITICAL parts of my SECULAR CONSTITUTION of FIRST PRINCIPLES. I address TERRORISM and CRIME and the WAR on DRUGS by addressing POVERTY. I SUGGEST a FINANCIAL SOLUTION that WILL mean an END to WAR.

We are the ones who CONTROL Ken. Ken is IMPLYING that We are the ones who CONTROL Ken. Ken is a LIBERTARIAN SOCIALIST who believes in giving ALL the PRIVATE PROPERTY to the Occupants and eliminating ALL TAXATION while providing a Basic Income Guarantee (BIG) and UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE to EVERY man, woman and child on Earth for FREE.

BUSN 318 - Project Management - Week 7- Discussion - Myers-Briggs
May 27, 2016
I went to the www.humanmetrics.com website and took the 64 question Jung Typology Test. I was surprised that the results were identical to The Keirsey Temperament Sorter II Classic Temperament Report that I purchased for last week's assignment (See http://keirsey.com). According to both of these tests, I am an INFP, which Keirsey defines as a Healer. We represent about 3 to 4 percent of the population.
On the INF parameters, I am strongly in the categories with scores of 8, 9, 8 respectively. On the P parameter, I am about in the middle, with a score of 6 in the P, but also a score of 4 in its opposite side, the J. So I am very close to being an INFJ, which is defined by Keirsey as a Counselor. According to Keirsey, the NFs are all Idealists. I FEEL that these descriptions fit me quite closely to the way I see myself, which is as an Introverted Idealist who cares about helping people and resolving conflict. I also am obsessed with creating new economic systems that eliminate poverty and provide universal health care and a Basic Income Guarantee (BIG) for all the world's citizens - every man, woman and child on Earth for FREE.
I find that the above descriptions of the Idealists from my Keirsey report are accurate, with the exception of the second bullet above, "yearn for romance." I am single and am happy being single and I plan on being single for the rest of my life. I have no need for a romantic relationship and am happy with my independence. My sexual needs seem to be satisfied in my dream life rather than in the real world. The first bullet fits me perfectly, as I do indeed pride myself on being loving, kindhearted and authentic. It's very important to me to be authentic even when it is at my own expense. I would make a terrible politician in that I would never say just what people want to hear. If I say something, I have to believe it in my heart, and I'm willing to express opinions that may put me in the minority. I am a champion for the oppressed and under-represented.
I had one serious romantic relationship in my 20's in which my girlfriend became pregnant and I thought I was going to be a father. I was looking forward to the experience and felt that I would be very loving and caring and nurturing and that I would enjoy the role. However, it turned out to be a tubal pregnancy that almost killed my girlfriend, so it was not to be. Eventually, and largely as a result of the stress of the tubal pregnancy, surgery, and subsequent recovery and differences in our opinions regarding Western medicine, we parted ways. In retrospect, with over 20 years of LIFE EXPERIENCE since that time, I'm glad I was spared being forced into a life-long relationship with a woman whose opinions on science and medicine I did not share. I'm glad to be childless, although I am very sorry it cost my girlfriend her ovary. I was very NAIVE to be MAKING a baby.
In terms of how my personality profile will affect my performance on Project Teams, I see that it is important that I be in a supportive role and possibly not try to do all the personnel management myself. I am not task-driven so much as driven by a need for social harmony and happiness of all team members. I would have a very difficult time playing the heavy or trying to enforce rules and procedures and deadlines. I would NOT make a GOOD Project Manager. I'm better suited to brainstorming and cheerleading from the sidelines. I can help in whatever way I can without the pressure of deadlines.
From http://keirsey.com:
Healers (INFPs) like you typically present a calm and serene face to the world. As a result, you can seem shy, even distant, around others. However, inside you're likely anything but serene. There can be great depths of feeling and waves of emotion present in you. In fact, you have a capacity for caring rarely found in the other types.
As a Healer, you have the capacity to care deeply about the inner lives of those close to you, as well as about favorite causes in the world at large. More than the other personality types, you can have a great passion and ability to heal the conflicts that trouble individuals or divide groups. In your efforts you seek to bring wholeness and health to others as well as to yourself.
Healers typically possess a profound sense of idealism, the kind that comes from a strong personal sense of right and wrong. As a result, you may view the world around you as an ethical, honorable place, full of wondrous possibilities and potential goods. For others to understand you well, they should know the kind of deep commitment you can have to the things you see as positive and good. At times you can display an almost boundless selflessness. This willingness to make extraordinary sacrifices for the people and things you believe in can be very inspiring.
Because your type is set off from the rest of the world by a sense of privacy and the mere fact that there are so few of you, as a Healer you can sometimes FEEL isolated in your idealism. You may also FEEL a sense of separation because of an often-misunderstood childhood. If your early years were as fantasy-filled as most Healers' were, you might have been discouraged or even punished for your wild notions. If grown-ups told you to get your head out of the clouds, you probably began believing that being fanciful or dreamy was bad. This belief may have lead to a bit of an ugly duckling complex. In truth, you likely were -- and are -- quite all right just as you are. Know that you're simply different from most others, like a swan reared in a family of ducks.
In professional and scholastic situations, your type can be quite adaptable. This tendency can include an ability to welcome new ideas and information, as well as having patience when complicated situations arise. You are not, however, one to be patient handling routine details. Chances are you have a natural interest in scholarly activities. You're also apt to demonstrate a remarkable facility with language, a talent possessed by most of your fellow Idealists. Others likely admire your gift for telling tall tales or for writing stories of your own in lyrical, poetic fashion.
Socially you tend to relate well with others because of your ability to keenly tune into people's FEELINGS. However, because of your usually private nature, you can also be quite happy alone. When it comes to making decisions big and small, you're apt to follow your heart rather than your head. So although you sometimes make errors of fact, you'll seldom make errors of FEELING. You're a person who tends to be well acquainted with your inner life and who can use that knowledge to your benefit. Frequently this inner voice can call you to go forth into the world and help others. This is a message you seem ready to answer, even if you must sometimes sacrifice your own comfort to do it.

Skill Level Beginner
I'd like to teach you about the Screen blend mode, specifically, and what it's kind of good for. So, in this particular image, I'd like to add kind of a fake little sunrise peeking over the tip of this mountain top here. I'm going to use the Lens Flare Filter to actually achieve that. So, let's go to the Filter menu, and we'll pull down to Render, over to Lens Flare. This gives you a little tiny preview where you can position the Lens Flare exactly where you want it. So, I'm going to kind of position it right there in position, peeking over that little mountaintop there. You can, of course, change the Brightness value, and how hot and bright you want that Lens Flare to be.
I'll just leave it at the default, 100%. You've got a couple of different types of Lens flares available to you. I'm going to ahead and just choose the default again, the 50-300mm Zoom. Okay. I'm going to go ahead and click OK. Great! There is the cheesy effect, not exactly what we wanted though, because we've burned that Lens Flare on the original Background layer, which means I've damaged those pixels. If I change from mind and want to reposition that Lens Flare, I can't do it because I've burned that into the original layer. So, let's undo that. Edit > Undo or Command+Z, Ctrl+Z, and instead, let's create a new layer and fill it with black.
Now, when I click the New button, I get a new layer. That's transparent. It's filled with nothing. It's got just transparent areas, and it's called layer 1. I'm going to undo that, Command+Z. Rather than just clicking on the New layer icon, I'm going to hold down that make better key. In Photoshop, it's the Option or Alt key. I'm going to Option or Alt+Click on the New icon at the bottom of the Layers panel. This gives me a chance to name the layer. So, I'm going to call it Lens Flare. It also gives me the opportunity to choose a Blend mode for that particular layer. For now, I'm going to keep it at Normal.
Okay, go ahead and click OK. I want to fill this with black. So, I'm going to use my Edit > Fill command. Edit > Fill, and we'll choose Black as our Contents. Go ahead and click OK, and the layer is filled with black. So, it's covering up that Background layer. Let's go to the Filter menu, and you'll notice that the last filter you ran is always listed at the very top of that menu. If you just want to run it again, you can just choose that from the top of the menu list there. So, we'll just go ahead and choose Lens Flare from the top of list. You'll see I get the exact same Lens Flare I had the first time I chose the filter, but now I've applied this to a black background on a separate layer.
It sure would be nice if there was a way to make all those black pixels disappear on this particular layer, leaving only the effect of the Lens Flare. Well, I know. We'll get our Magic Wand tool, right? We'll click on the Magic Wand tool, and we'll click in the black areas, and then hit Delete, right? No, not so much. We'll go ahead and undo that. Instead of making a selection and actually deleting those pixels, we want Photoshop just to imagine that those black pixels didn't exist. To do that, that's why we're learning about blend modes. Which Blend mode ignores black? Well, that would be one of the Screen blend modes, one of the lightened blend modes.
We'll choose Screen. As soon as we do that, those black pixels act as if they're not even there. So, I get the same visual result as applying the Lens Flare to the Background layer directly. But if I get my Move tool, I now have the flexibility of having that Lens Flare on a separate layer, which means I can reposition it. I can lower its opacity. I can transform its scale. I can do whatever I want to it, hide it, change its visibility, and so forth. So, you have the flexibility of layers, taking advantage of a particular Blend mode that ignores a specific color, in this case Black, giving you a lot more flexibility.
Now, whether or not you're going to ever add a Lens Flare to your particular image is kind of irrelevant. I wanted to give you a visual example of why the Screen blend mode is very helpful at times. It ignores dark stuff.
