How many times have you heard someone tell you to "start the story with action"? I know it's something I've heard a lot. In fact, I've read that the average new writer really ought to be starting their story with their current chapter three in order to get rid of all the unnecessary waffling and backstory.
Sometimes, this is absolutely true. One of the most important things a good beginning must accomplish is hooking the reader, and what easier way to do this than with some intense action? But sometimes, the "big moment" isn't the place to start the story.
Think about it. Does Harry Potter start with Hagrid arriving to tell Harry he's going to Hogwarts? Does The Hunger Games start at the Reaping? Yes, some stories can get away with plonking the reader right down in the midst of things, but others, especially those set in a world very different from our own, need a few pages to orientate the reader, first.
Also, the trouble with a high stakes beginning is that we don't know the characters well enough to care. The Reaping would have been sad even if we didn't know Prim and Katniss, but think about how much more it hurt after having read the scenes of Katniss hunting and striving so hard to care for her family. Collins had already given us enough backstory for us to really understand the depth of the bond between the sisters and the true impact of Katniss's offer to take her sister's place.
Likewise, if Harry's suffering at the hands of the Dursleys had been summed up in a sentence or two instead of shown us, then the relief and magic of Hagrid showing up wouldn't have hit us as strongly. Starting with the most exciting part of the story is all good and well, but sometimes, you need just the right amount of backstory to put that excitement in context and ramp it up even more. One of the important parts of the hero's journey is the beginning, when the hero is still at home. We can also call this the World Before, since not every hero actually physically moves. The World Before is…well, the world before. Before the Reaping that changed everything. Before Hagrid. How can the reader fully appreciate the effects of the Inciting Event unless he gets a glimpse of how things were before?
Of course, I'm not saying you should have a chapter of info dump before getting to the "good part." There should still be action. But it should be a smaller blip in the radar, something exciting, but not so exciting that there isn't time or space to slip in some backstory. The most exciting parts of a story are all about moving forward. You don't want to slow down a gunfight with background information. Collins didn't waste time during the Reaping scenes explaining how close Katniss and Prim were, or how horrible the Hunger Games were—all that had already been accomplished.
Weaving in backstory and keeping the story moving forward can be a tough balance to keep. But lately, I've been hearing so much about "starting the story right in the midst of things," that I just wanted to put a little reminder out there: sometimes less isn't more. Sometimes a little breath before the storm can be a good thing.

I've heard it preached again and again to begin with action or drop the reader into the middle of the story, but my favorite books don't do that. I like a little wine before dinner so to speak. Best wishes to you and congratulations on your upcoming books!ReplyDelete

I really cannot agree more! Starting with action doesn't necessarily means dumping the readers into your Inciting Incident (although it can be that, certainly). It means starting at the best possible place for the novel -- where you can hook the readers. Sometimes, it's the time before that's appropriate.ReplyDelete
Thanks, guys! :)ReplyDelete

See Kal's 510+ stage hero's journey work over at http://www.clickok.co.uk/index4.html ; it's really a fascinating study of story.ReplyDelete
This is a great point!ReplyDelete
In fact I've never started my stories with the "big moment" simply because I had to deliver my character to it's gates first (usually happens in the middle/end of the first chapter).
The purpose of this "delivery" is for a reader to care for the character and fully dive along into the BIG trouble/adventure.
Both James Scott Bell in Plot & Structure and Christopher Vogler & Michael Hauge's in The Hero's Two Journeys, each say that "inciting incident" should come somewhere between 20% and 25% of the way into the story.ReplyDelete
With a novel that can vary, but the reader has to care about the character prior to that. But the beginning has to be interesting to the reader - draw them onward into the story.
Al that verbiage from me really just says I agree. LOL
Yes, great post. And while I may shock you and grab your attention in the first sentence or two, I refuse to drop my characters on a battlefield right out of the gate. I hate to say it, but I think a lot of literary agents tend to perpetuate this problem by giving new writers the impression that everything must blow their skivvies off in the first two paragraphs. For example, "prologues are not necessary" "delete chpts. 1 & 2, start with 3", or the ever popular "it starts a little slow". Just saying...ReplyDelete

Following its recent quarterly meeting, the KPMG/Ipsos Retail Think Tank (RTT) has released its latest findings, stating that the health of UK retail fell in the second quarter of 2016.
The RTT's Retail Health Index (RHI) dropped one point to 83, the first time it has declined since Quarter 3 2014. Disappointing sales in April and June reflected flat demand and the National Living Wage came into force before productivity strategies had been implemented to lessen the damage to their cost bases.
Although consumer confidence continued to improve and the public's personal finances were strong, with both employment and wages rising, there was no real uplift from the Euro 2016 tournament and the unseasonably poor weather hurt fashion retailers.
The RTT forecasts that the RHI will drop a further 2 points in the third quarter and acknowledged that the general trend in recent months was already on its way down, and therefore, while Brexit was not the cause of this slow down, it could aggravate the existing issues that retailers are facing.
The three main drivers of retail health; demand, margin and cost, are all expected to work against retailers throughout the third quarter.
Rising costs for retailers are expected to be the strongest driver of the health decline, with sterling struggling in world markets making the importing of goods into the UK more expensive. Though most large retailers hedge funds six to18 months out, many of the smaller players don't, leaving them exposed.
The National Living Wage has not only increased retailer's wage bills, but further investment will be required to increase efficiencies in an effort to counteract the largest National Living Wage rise by 2020. The RTT discussed whether or not these rising costs would be passed onto the consumer, but it was felt that retailers would be looking to keep prices down and the additional costs would need to be largely absorbed by retailers and their suppliers.
There was also concern that energy and fuel inflation in the coming months would hurt retailers on multiple fronts, impacting not only on their costs, but also on consumer confidence as these are very 'obvious and apparent' price rises that effect people day-to-day.
The RTT said it debated at length how consumer confidence would be affected across the quarter. Wage and employment levels are still healthy and disposable income is rising, but as has been an ongoing narrative, a disproportionate amount of this money is being spent in the leisure and hospitality sector rather than in retail. The RTT agreed that it has never been more important for retailers to fight back and work hard to win more of the consumer's wallet.
Retailers selling big-ticket items such as televisions and sofas, and goods at the discretionary spend end of the spectrum, are expected to be hit the hardest in the third quarter. The RTT predicts that a softening of the housing market would have a knock-on effect on large purchases until the dust of Brexit had settled and people had a clearer view and understanding of what will happen next and what the impact will be for business.
The RTT predicts that if demand falls, retailers could well be forced into activating further discounts and sales to keep consumers spending in the quarter to come. The RTT suggested these could be prolonged and deep, which coupled with rising import costs, will squeeze margins even tighter.
If weaker demand materialises in the third quarter, fashion retailers in particular will be forced into deploying heavier discounting programmes to stimulate sales and clear stock levels in advance of Quarter 4. Post June 23rd overseas markets look a lot more attractive and members expect further expansion plans to sell more outside of the EU, with the USA, China and Australia cited as natural targets. The confusion and unpredictable nature of the market also present opportunities for retailers already in strong positions, and in a similar way to during the last recession, some retailers could benefit from a 'land grab' and take a larger proportion of the market.
The RTT recognised that whilst overseas opportunities look attractive, there is also an opportunity for retailers to take advantage of their heritage and provenance of products if positioned correctly.
Dr Tim Denison, head of retail intelligence, Ipsos Retail Performance, said: "Uncertainty is one of the most damaging bête noirs in retailing, and the spread of opinions around the table speculating about the short term impact of the 'out' vote was symptomatic of the degree of uncertainty that exists in the sector. It is possible that if retailers can connect with consumers and portray a message of 'buy now while prices are low', we could see demand maintained throughout Quarter 3. But the reported decline in consumer confidence post 23rd June could threaten the resonance of that message."
Nick Bubb, independent retail analyst, added: "Before the UK took the Brexit plunge, retailers were already struggling with rising costs, squeezed margins and softening demand. The decision to leave the EU has now aggravated these issues with Sterling struggling and uncertainty creeping into both boardrooms and the mind of the consumer. The underlying issues that retailers are facing still exist, but there is now just a greater urgency required in addressing them."
Meanwhile, Mike Watkins, head of retailer and business insight, Nielsen, said: "The Brexit vote left consumers in a state of shock and it will have had an initial impact on consumer confidence. Historically, August is a holding month for retailers with many people abroad or looking to save money upon returning from holidays. This may amplify the weak demand we have seen in recent weeks due to the unseasonable weather and could intensify with the uncertainty of Brexit still in the air. However, the success retailers have in a normally buoyant September could well be a better barometer for ongoing performance over the following six months and looking further ahead, whatever changes are made by policy makers that impact disposable income."

I have had botox several times and always like the effects (forhead) the last time I had it was six months ago and it looks like I just had it three weeks ago. How come it is lasting so well this time? I am not complaining but it does seem unusual. I had another appointment booked but canelled it for two more months. Is it possible they something else other than botox?
Can Botox Last Longer Than Six Months?
Doctor Answers 13
How long does Botox last
I have certainly seen Botox last up to 6 months for some patients. For the vast majority of people, Botox lasts around 3-4 months but there are a few people who are fortunate enough to have it last longer. In your situation, it's hard to explain without knowing the technique and dose of Botox you received. Higher doses of Botox will last for a longer duration of time. Also people who have received Botox for a long time sometimes lose the habit of raising their eyebrows or frowning, which may be why your Botox effect has lasted longer. I would wait until you see muscle movement before going for another treatment.

Muscle retraining after botox can prolong the results
Creases of the skin of the forehead are from muscle contraction / frowning. If one learns not to grimace or frown during the relaxation phase of the Botox, then even after the Botox no longer relaxes the muscles, the skin creases may stay away for a long time. If you looked in the mirror and consciously raised your eyebrows by using the forehead muscle, you would see that the Botox is no longer effective, but you were effective in not making this facial expression even after the Botox wore off.

Botox can last 6 months
Botox can last for different lengths of time in different sites for different individuals. You may have lost the habit of lifting your forehead or frowning so your Botox effect has lasted longer. The same would be true for the other neurotoxins. Wait until some movement returns before having another treatment.

Botox longevity
Everyone is different, so there may be some variation as to how long Botox lasts. I have definitely seen it last for more than 6 months in some patients. I'm not sure if there was a difference in your last treatment as to how it was injected or how much was used. Some people who have been treated over a long period of time do notice that it lasts longer. Having had the Botox can also retrain people as to how they use their facial muscles, and this may contribute to its longevity.
Continued Use Can Aid In Lasting Effect of Botox
Botox roughly lasts up to four months. There's nothing wrong if you notice your Botox is lasting longer; how deep of wrinkles and how strong a patient's muscles are will determine how well it takes and how long it will last. We have also noticed that the more regularly patients get Botox the better results they will have each time. "Dr. D"
How long can Botox last?
On average, Botox will last around 3 months. However, this can vary from patient to patient Many times, Botox can "re-train" the muscles so they do not make the movements as often causing the wrinkles in the forehead. If Botox lasts over 6 months for you, I would consider yourself lucky. Thanks and good luck!

Botox duration
Botox or other botulinum toxins (e.g. Dysport, Xeomin) generally last about 3-4 months, but this is a range with some people getting a longer duration. Many people have found that after a few treatments, with the muscles weakening/atrophying, the Botox tends to last longer such as 5-6 months. Dr. Benjamin Barankin, Toronto Dermatology Centre.
Botox lasting more than 6 months
Everyone has a different duration of effect with their treatments - and if yours is lasting this long, be glad! Repeated treatments on a regular basis often help lengthen the time between treatments as explained by both Dr. Novick and Dr. Swengel.
Repeated Treatment of Botox at Fixed Intervals and the Addition of a Filler Are Two Possible Ways To Prolong Botox Effects
In general, the effects of neuromodulators, such as Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin, last about four to seven months (typically five to six months), and most people who return as needed will typically have to do so at these intervals in order to restore correction. However, there have been reports in the literature (and corroborated by my own clinical experience) that if an individual undergoes a series of about five neuromodulator treatments at a fixed four month interval (regardless of whether there is any return of the expression lines), the interval between treatments may be subsequently significantly lengthened.
A number of explanations have been proposed for this. These include that repeated treatment leads to atrophy of the the injected muscles and hence to more prolonged improvement. Another possible explanation is that repeated suppression of particular muscle groups allows for recruitment of other muscles and a kind of retraining not to make the types of expressions that led to the wrinkling in the first place. Whatever the actual explanation, undergoing the series can prove beneficial in this way--but only if the initial series is performed at the fixed four-month intervals.
Another method for prolonging the Botox effect is to combine its use with the injection of a filler. For example, it has been found that combining Botox with a hyaluronic acid filler in the scowl line area between the eyes can result in a one year correction--even after just one combined treatment session. I have personally found this to be the case, as well, in treatment the crow's feet lines on the sides of the eyes and the forehead worry lines. I have likewise found this combination, injected as microdroplets of each, especially useful for treating those difficult crepey, prune-like crinkles on the lower cheeks.

Botox lasting 6 months!
The length of time Botox lasts does vary and I like to discuss with my long term patients why they often find they are going longer with repeated treatments. The perfect balance of Botox and muscle relaxation is between the amount of muscle(or mass) and the number of units placed into that muscle. When too little Botox is used, the muscle is able to recover more rapidly than when the balance is right on. As the dose(units used) goes higher in a muscle, the effect lasts longer. So this balance is what is always in play everytime someone receives Botox. As you can appreciate, when someone has had Botox for years and kept forehead muscles relaxed through those years, those muscles atrophy just like shoulders and biceps do when you stop going to the gym. Those thinner muscles just don't need as much. There also is the subtle effect of learning not to use those muscles. That combination often allows 'frequent flyers' of Botox to often go longer between injections over time. Lucky you!

Many recipes add cheese as the finishing touch, and when we think about cooking with cheese we tend to think of using parmesan in our pasta, or some mature cheddar topped on toast.
But there are many different food ideas out there for making cheese the centre piece of your dish, and there are many different varieties out there.
In fact, in France alone, there are over 1,000 different types of cheeses made ranging from Camembert to Époisses, and, of course, the well-known goat's cheese which delights everybody's palate.
Available from the mildest soft cheese to the hardest strong cheese, this creamy cheese comes in many different flavours and textures. It tastes great too, when baked in the oven and spread on bread.
Made all over France, and especially in the Loire Valley and Poitou regions, goat's cheese tastes great and also makes a fantastic alternative for those that are allergic to cow's milk.
In the following video, chef Sophie Wright shows you just how easy it is to create a simple but tasty goat's cheese log slice, roasted beetroot and parsnip salad that you can enjoy anytime:

Last week I talked about how the body fat levels (low body fat think thin sheet, higher body fat think thick blanket) affect the definition of the body (by definition I mean visible lines or shapes of the muscles - often what people mean when they say 'toned')
Beyond aesthetics lower body fat levels mean less excess weight and so for activities like running it becomes easier, muscles don't have to work as hard to help you run at the same speed or you can run faster for the same amount of effort. Sounds great right!?
I mentioned correct training will help to shape the muscles and ensure the body is strong and has the stamina it needs, I'm not focusing on that though today, we're talking about nutrition! So how to get that thin blue sheet?
Above there are 2 pictures... the first a typical days food for myself (excluding a bit of extra veg I'd add to some of the meals, and my Dinner which I might have Salmon and green veggies, asparagus and broccoli with some soy sauce perhaps and to the right.. this is what a typical grocery shopping trip looks like.
I might add some cottage cheese and milk to that along with some fish and perhaps a few nuts. I probably eat out once or twice per week on average too, sticking with similar principles. Other than that daily Omega 3 fish oil and sometimes protein powder. I do vary my food intake depending on my training but lets keep it simple for now. Your food intake will vary depending on your weight, activity levels, muscle mass, body fat levels and a few other things (bare in mind that is the intake for an ultra runner who trains daily and is active all day)
Essentially we're looking at lean protein source (meat, fish, eggs) and a variety of veggies for each meal. The odd bit of fruit too but veggies are where it's at! The body will perform best when it has a range of vitamins and nutrients to work with, eating is a constant thing we do all our lives. All we need is right there. The body doesn't need huge doses of sugar and fat!
Ever heard someone say 'you are what you eat?' guess what!? It's true! Every part of you has been made up from food.... broken down in the body to it's components and used to rebuild cells in your body.
Eating this way will ensure balanced energy levels, nature is pretty good at watching our backs when it comes to food.
To really make a change, consistency is key. Having the occasional 'good week' wont make a lot of difference to anything, making good choices most of the time will!
Is your every day diet up to scratch? Or... to rephrase that are you in the shape you want to be in? Have you always got plenty of energy? If not.... nutrition is probably the first place you should make changes
My 3 top tips for optimum nutrition.....
1. Plan ahead... prepare your food and take it with you, you'll never need to grab something on the go that could mess your day up!
2. Natural food is best... if the ingredients list (if the food has one) has words you can't pronounce or don't know what they mean, it's probably not all that good!
3. Be consistent.... Having the occasional (ie once per week not twice per day!) meal that isn't quite perfect wont harm your results too much provided you get back on track straight away, having a weekend long binge on processed food isn't going to get you very far!

The Energy Report - Cuts, Gluts and Nuts
The Brent crude versus WTI spread has blown out to the highest levels since last October surging over $20 on a combination of gluts, cuts and nuts. As US refiners go into hibernation against a backdrop of weak demand, supplies in the US continue to rise. Refiners are cutting runs dramatically at a time when we are seeing rising Canadian oil sand production as well as shale liquids that is creating a glut of crude that seems to be getting more glutinous by the minute! Weak refining margins and the approaching shoulder season is weighing on the West Texas Intermediate.
On the other hand, in Europe they are scrambling as fears that the nuts in Iran may do something crazy in response to the tightening economic noose around their necks. Add to that a wickedly cold winter and Asian refiners hoarding supply and we have Brent crude on a tear. The latest pressure comes as reported by Reuters that Barack Obama signed an executive order imposing stricter sanctions on Iran and its central bank, saying new powers to freeze assets were needed because Iranian banks were concealing transactions, the White House said. And as reported by Pen Energy, legislation proposed by U .S. Sens. Lisa Murkowski, R-AK, and Maria Cantwell, D-WA, would bar companies who engage in business or trading activity with Iran from buying oil from America's Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The measure, co-sponsored by 16 other Senators, also calls for the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) to expose sanction violators. Bloomberg News says that, The Iran Certification and Reporting Bill, S. 2058, requires companies that want to purchase, sell or exchange SPR oil to certify with DOE that they are not engaged in any form of business activity with any Iranian entity, nor are they currently seeking to contract for any such activity. The bill follows up on concerns raised by Murkowski after the Obama administration sold oil from the SPR in June 2010 to companies known for engaging in upstream trading activities with Iranian entities. Under existing law, neither company was technically in violation of the Iran sanctions, but the Department of Energy's decision to sell them SPR oil certainly violated the spirit of the sanctions.
These tough actions are causing an oil buying frenzy especially high quality crude so coveted by the European and Asian refiners. Reuters News is reporting that Asia's imports of crude from West Africa are at record highs as sanctions on Iran cut supplies from the Islamic Republic to China, a Reuters survey of West African oil flows suggest. Asian imports of West African crude oil will hit an all-time high in the first quarter as purchases of Iranian oil decline and as Chinese and Indian refiners build stocks from alternative sources, trade and shipping sources said. North American, Asia and European refiners compete to buy West Africa's high quality, low sulphur crude oil. Increasingly it is a favorite source of fuel for Chinese, Indian and other Asian refiners. Reuters continues that the region is a natural alternative source of oil for Asian buyers who wish to avoid sanctions imposed by the West over Iran's nuclear program that the United States and its allies say aims to produce Iranian nuclear weapons. The Reuters survey shows West African oil imports by Asian countries will average 1.81 million barrels per day (bpd) in March, 1.8 million in February and 1.84 million in January. This brings the average for the first quarter of 2012 to around 1.82 million bpd, up from a previous record of 1.79 million in the first quarter of 2011 and 2011's average 1.57 million. Not all the crude oil cargoes due to load in March from Nigeria, Angola and other West African exporters are placed yet, and the totals could rise over the next few weeks, traders say. Sources close to Chinese state-owned oil trading companies say imports of Angolan crude oil are up by as much as 20 percent in March from December and the increase largely reflects a decline in purchases of Iranian crude.
Add to that, violence in Nigeria is causing supply from that region to be questionable. Another burning pipeline may lead to a disruption of exports but Libya continues to out perform.
We can also add Europe and their winter that is the polar opposite of what we have been having in the US. In fact you might feel the polar temperatures across Europe are causing a spike in natural gas and gas oil prices. In fact despite the weakness in crude oil in the US, our heating oil and even gasoline market was driven higher by the surge in European heating fuels. As natural gas gets tight Europe will demand more oil.
Yet in the big picture we are seeing supply rise and demand expectations weaken. We should see a reduction in demand from both the International Energy Agency and the Energy Information Agency. Plus the odds of a Greece default are rising and that could lead to a period of fear related demand destruction. If the cold passes and if Iran miraculously calms down, look out below.

* Mishap could spur management changes-analyst
* Search and rescue still ongoing (Adds quotes from analysts, details, previous incident under current CEO, AirAsia deal and updates share prices)
By Yantoultra Ngui
KUALA LUMPUR, March 10 (Reuters) - The disappearance of the Malaysian Airline System (MAS) jet could dent the national carrier's plan to return to profit by end-2014, equity analysts said.
Flight MH370 disappeared early Saturday about an hour into its flight from Kuala Lumpur after climbing to a cruising altitude of 35,000 feet (10,670 metres).
MAS, which saw its net loss expand 171 percent to 1.17 billion ringgit ($359.12 million) in 2013 from 2012, could see a loss in bookings due to the missing airliner and some analysts believe it could lead to a change in management.
"We do not discount the possibly of changes to MAS top management, given the existing disappointing financial results and the severity of the current incident," Daniel Wong, equity analyst with Kuala Lumpur-based Hong Leong Investment Bank, wrote in a note on Monday.
MAS officials declined to comment on any possible changes to management, saying their primary focus was to care for the families of the passengers on the missing jet.
The latest incident is the second mishap for MAS after a Twin Otter aircraft belonging to MASWings, a unit of MAS, crashed while attempting to land in October 2013, killing two.
"This could last for some time, even months," said Pong Teng Siew, head of research at Kuala Lumpur-based Interpac Securities. "There will be some apprehension among travellers whether they should take MAS flights in the immediate future.
"Passengers and regular travellers of MAS will watch carefully how the top management handles this crisis situation. It means a lot to the future of the carrier."
MAS has been aiming to turn around since it last posted an annual net profit of 237 million ringgit in 2010, but loss-making routes and competition from budget airlines like AirAsia have hurt the company.
It is only recently that it started to see its turnaround plan gain traction after a series of corporate exercises that helped improve cash flow and cut debt. The airline also gained the support of its 20,000-strong employee union following an aborted share swap with AirAsia in May 2012.
Eleven out of 12 analysts who cover the stock have either a strong sell or sell rating, while one recommended a hold, according to data compiled by ThomsonReuters.
The shares have slumped almost 66 percent since 59-year-old power industry veteran, Ahmad Jauhari Yahya, joined the state-controlled airline in 2011.
Malaysia Airports Holdings, the operator of Kuala Lumpur International Airport where the Boeing 777 last took off, saw its shares fell 3.34 percent to 8.10 ringgit.
Shares of AirAsia remained unchanged at 2.52 ringgit a share, while long-haul budget airline AirAsia X rose 0.62 percent to 81 sen.
Malaysia's benchmark index declined 0.49 percent.
($1 = 3.2580 Malaysian ringgit)

Is face permanently swollen?
Doctor Answers 3
Persistent Swelling after revision of Cheek Augmentation
Hi Laura,It is unfortunate you continue to experience persistent swelling for all these years. Are you swollen equally on both sides? In addition to a thorough examination have you had any imaging studies performed? Are your implants still in place and what type of implant was used? Have you ever been treated with antibiotics or cultures sent to rule out infection. There can be several reasons for this swelling - from chronic infection to implant related inflammation. With a complete understanding of the time course and treatment you have had a possible solution can be made.

For Dominique Davis, game time finds new meaning
Credit: AP (File)
Dominique Davis' life has changed just a wee bit since he took over Boston College's starting quarterback job after Chris Crane broke his collarbone two weeks ago at Wake Forest.
No longer can Davis squirrel himself away in his dorm room and play video games for hours on end. That leisure time is now consumed by tutorials with offensive coordinator Steve Logan, continuing the crash course of Collegiate Quarterbacking 101 with a big exam coming up Saturday in Tampa, Fla., against Virginia Tech in the ACC Championship Game.

At the end of each trading day (5pm New York time), your open CFD trading positions may be subject to a charge called a holding cost. The holding cost can be positive or negative depending on whether you are long or short. Indices, forex, commodity and treasury forward contracts are not subject to holding costs.
Holding costs for indices are based on the underlying interbank rate of the index (see table) plus 2.5% on buy positions and minus 2.5% on sell positions.
For share CFDs, holding costs are based on the underlying interbank rate for the currency of the relevant share (see table) plus 2.5% on buy positions and minus 2.5% on sell positions.
FX holding costs are based on the tom-next (tomorrow to next day) rate in the underlying market for the currency pair and are expressed as an annual percentage.
Holding rates for cash commodities and treasuries are based on the inferred holding costs built into the underlying futures contracts, from which the prices of our cash commodity and treasury products are derived.

A guaranteed stop-loss order (GSLO) works in the same way as a stop-loss order, except that it guarantees to close you out of a trade at the price specified regardless of market volatility or gapping, for a premium. If the GSLO is not triggered then we'll refund 50% of the original premium.

The Adventures Of A FaceLift - Morristown, NJ
I intitially went to Dr.Rafizadeh for a lip lift \ lip reduction, but he told me to come back in a year because I recently had radiesse injected into my nasal labial folds and wanted the fillers to subside so he could get an accurate measurement on what to take off. So I came back a year later and he suggested we start with the lip reduction due to previous overly done fat lip injections. I... READ MORE

In 1981, US President Reagan (and former President of the Screen Actors Guild, where he led a shutdown strike in 1960) informed 13,000 angry Air Traffic Controllers that their demands for higher salaries and better equipment would not be met. He reminded them that their contracts prevented them, as Federal employees, from striking, and that anyone who did not return to work within 48 hours would be terminated. This play, I Forgive You, Ronald Reagan poignantly tells the story of two families of Air Traffic Controllers starting from that fateful time in 1981 and then concentrating on the characters' lives after Reagan's death in 2004. Down to the renaming of the Washington, D.C. airport for Reagan, it is clear that some people will never forget these polarizing events.
In 1981, Ray (PJ Benjamin) and his wife Jane (Patricia Richardson) are having a barbecue with their friend Buzz (Robert Emmet Lunney) and talking with certainty about succeeding in their strike. Ray and Buzz know each other from serving in Vietnam, and now share a career and apparently a sense of purpose. Jane plans to leave her job as a teacher. Their daughter is three years old, they need money, and it is risky to defy the government, but since no one else but the strikers are qualified for the job, they feel they should not back down. After some projections of news broadcasts (by David Bengali) from the strike, the action jumps ahead to 2004. Ray, now working in Construction but injured, is thrilled that Reagan has died. Jane, who is still a teacher and has been supporting the family, has seen Ray through mental collapse and rage that has eroded their communication. Ray enjoys watching Taxi Driver and other movies with Jodi Foster, because the man who shot Reagan was obsessed with her acting skills. Ray and Jane's daughter, Tess (Danielle Faitelson), is a 26 year-old actress who lacks discipline in most parts of her life. She is also secretly in love with Buzz's son, a union lawyer who followed this path because of the Air Traffic Controllers strike. Tension remains between Ray and Buzz because in 1981 Buzz broke the picket lines and thus saved his job. If the two former friends are not speaking, how can their children get married? Was Ray wrong to be part of an illegal strike? Does Buzz, like Reagan, "the best friend [the union] ever had in the White House," lack integrity? Various news clips add more depth to the debate, including one of NJ Governor Christie, full of himself, telling a crowd at the Reagan Library that the firing of the Air Traffic Controllers was one of the defining moments in his life. Ray's delusions reach the boiling point, bringing violence to all. Jane must think carefully about their future.
This story was quite captivating for me, who lived through these events, as by the end I can't say either side was right. But there is more universal appeal. How good is it, even if your life was affected by the decisions of higher powers, to hang on to the hope of revenge? How much faith should you have in the unions run by your fellow veterans? Aren't you free to make your own decisions? Do you ever really know your friends? Jane has grown to dislike Ray, but has never questioned his choice to strike. They took 26 years to tell their daughter that their former friend crossed the line. Perhaps some things can never be forgotten. Playwright John S. Anastasi weaves this intricate story, and director Charles Abbott evinces sympathy for all the characters. By the end, Ray's delusional behavior became painful to watch. All the actors are believable, with Danielle Faitelson as Tess, who barely remembers the actual strike, filling in as the voice of reason. Mostly it is Patricia Richardson as Jane who tries to bring together all the people she wants so dearly to coexist.

PITTSBURGH - All season, the Nationals have been waiting for Michael Morse to break out at the plate, patiently riding out his early-season slump and hoping he'd get back to the opposite-field hitting and steady power he showed last season and into the spring.
He might finally be on his way to doing that.
Morse hit his first homer of the year in the third inning of today's game, ripping a middle-in fastball from Kevin Correia to left for a three-run shot. He also poked a single down the first-base line in the second inning, and is 9-for-23 in his last seven games.
I've been saying it all year, but if this lineup is going to work for the Nationals, Morse has to put up solid numbers. It's safe to say the Nationals didn't expect to be waiting until April 24 for him to hit his first homer. But he's shown an ability to carry a hot streak for a few days, so maybe he'll hit a couple in the next week or so.

Managing Stress with Diabetes
There are many factors that come into play when you are trying to keep your diabetes under control. Stress is unhealthy for anyone, however, when you are diabetic and stress is an everyday event in your life, it can affect not only your mental health but your physical health as well. Knowing about and understanding the symptoms, causes and effects of stress can give you a helping hand in keeping it under control. It is the first step in the prevention of danger.
No matter whether you are young or old, just having diabetes and trying to manage effectively can be very stressful until you get used to the idea and know how to maintain it. For someone that is not diabetic, stress has its own health risks, but for someone with diabetes, the additional risks can be life threatening. One of the biggest concerns with diabetes is blood glucose levels. Stress can cause this level to rise at a very fast pace, which can bring on shock and even coma. It can also cause bad eating habits, which, of course, will add to an already bad situation for those with diabetes. Being healthy in all aspects is more than important.
Knowing the signs of stress can help you to catch it before it becomes life threatening for you. These signs and symptoms can include being irritable for no reason, depression, crying out of the blue, not getting enough sleep or perhaps doing nothing but sleeping, or problems with your weight and unexplained gain or loss.
Although these are just a few of the signs of stress, each one can turn into something more significant later on down the road. Other signs that you may want to watch out for are frequent headaches, feeling faint, grinding your teeth, avoiding everyday activities such as school or work, and even sweating. Of course, when stress starts to take over your life, you find that your muscles are tense and this brings on additional aches and pains. This also adds to the possibility of dangerous blood sugar levels and increases other risk factors.
Managing your stress will not only help you to feel better and stay healthy, but it will also help you to manage your diabetes better. Naturally, it is easier said than done to keep stress under control, however, by being able to recognize the signs and symptoms of stress, it can be easier to get your emotions under control and keep the stress at bay. Perhaps by reading a book, taking a walk, listening to some music, or just taking some quiet time for yourself could help you to be able to manage the stress you are feeling. Everyone has their own way of coping with rough times.
For those that are diabetic, it is important to keep a close eye on your glucose levels in order to avoid a spike that could be dangerous. If you are aware of your emotions and the side effects that your emotions can have on your body, you are one step ahead of the game of control.

On Travel Channel
Original Aired On 01/14/2009
Episode: Boston
Four pound crab bake
It's ok. There is better seafood in Boston.
When there's a concert down the street at the FleetBoston Pavillion, expect the area to be extra-crowded. Your best bet is to park in the Financial District.
Quiet Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday nights are livened up with live music.
Reservations are accepted for parties of 6 or more.
The Barking Crab has some of the best -- and biggest -- seafood dishes Boston has to offer. -Adam Richman, Man v Food Nation
There may be no place in Boston better to be on a warm Summer night with someone you love. Or even someone you might someday.
Order some clams and a bucket of beers and enjoy the outdoors.
Check out the back (outside) bar!
The food is great but I waited 90 minutes for a table for 3. The staff didn't seemed concerned. It's a total tourist spot and don't expect silverware either.
I spent a lot of money here. I eat a ton of food. I regret nothing. It tasted that good.
For some great seafood, get over to the Barking Crab. The Fried Fish sandwich is yummy!
If using malt vinegar for fries/fried fish, make sure the "shaker top" is on the bottle; otherwise you'll have drowned your food in the liquid. If available on draught, try the Barking Crab White.
Definitely a tourist spot but with great food. The naked lobster roll is awesome. Lots of lobster without all the work. Beware of the bathrooms, though. They're tiny and scary.
With outdoor dining overlooking Fort Port Channel, it's a great gathering place for a celebration, and boasts thick clam chowder and a selection of fresh fish daily.

|The Poet Laureate of Oz
Bessie Wynn as Sir Dashemoff Daily, The Poet Laureate of Oz
Real Name
Dashemoff Daily
First Appearance
The Wizard of Oz (1902 Stage Production)
Created by
L. Frank Baum
Early in the first act of the 1902 Wizard of Oz stage production, Sir Dashemoff Daily, the Poet Laureate of the Land of Oz, fell madly in love with Dorothy Gale, who had just arrived from Kansas. Sir Dashemoff mistakenly thought Dorothy's name was Carrie Barry and had written a song for her. On discovering the song, Dorothy foolishly and accidentally wasted one of the three wishes granted to her by the magical Ruby Ring (which replaced the silver shoes from the original novel) she had been given by the Good Witch of the North. Suddenly, Dorothy KNEW the song and she sang it for Dashemoff. The plot at its finest!
The lyric for Carrie Barry was written by L. Frank Baum. But exactly who wrote the music is up for debate. It was either Paul Tietjens or A. Baldwin Sloane. Or possibly both. In 1902, the song was credited to Baum and Tietjens but, from 1903 on it was credited to Sloane. No sheet music for the song was ever published.
- Dashemoff, along with other new characters like Imogene the Cow, Trixie Tryfle, Cynthia Cynch the Lady Lunatic, and Sir Wiley Gyle were all created for the stage production with none ever appearing in the books. This was something L. Frank Baum grew fond of doing with other new characters (like Jesseva & Danx and Mary and her parents) appearing in later film versions of the sequels but, not their novels.

These are my favorite style of stitch markers: beautiful, classic beaded rings that look like jewelry nestled between your stitches, with a whimsical charmed "master" marker.
My Secret Garden-themed stitch markers include eight different designs. Choose your favorite at $10 for the first set, add an extra set for $8, or choose all 8 sets and get one for free ($59 in total). These are made to order, so please expect your order to ship in approximately 3 to 4 business days.
Pictured (clockwise) in the first photo are:
- Colin's Bench
- Buried Key
- Hollyhock
- Forget Me Not
- Robin Redbreast
- Honeybee
- How Does Your Garden Grow?
- Antique Rose
My Secret Garden stitch markers are made in a universal size of 10mm, which glides smoothly and easily over smaller knitting needles such as a US size 3 (3.25mm) all the way up to a US size 9 (5.5mm). You'll receive a set just like the one pictured, with one master charmed ring and seven beaded rings. You can also choose the packaging you'd like: a small glass bottle with a cork, a round tin with a Little Skein bunny top, or I can surprise you.
My stitch markers are snag- and tangle-free. They feature a single jump ring made out of substantial 18-gauge base metal, with a color-coordinated Japanese glass seed bead. The ends of the ring are secured inside the bead, so the stitch marker is completely smooth to the touch and will not snag your knitting.
Each marker is carefully handcrafted, so there may be some minor variations in shape and size. Your satisfaction is very important to me. I do my best to accurately photograph and describe the markers, but (you know the drill), colors may vary from monitor to monitor. Please let me know if you're not completely delighted with your purchase.

Ahmed Mohammed, the boy who brought a clock to school in September and was arrested for bringing a "bomb," recently made claims seeking $15 million from the Texas School District due to civil rights violations. Richard Dawkins, noted evolutionary biologist, decided to take his qualms with this to Twitter:
Don't call him "clock boy" since he never made a clock. Hoax Boy, having hoaxed his way into the White House, now wants $15M in addition! — Richard Dawkins (@RichardDawkins)
November 24, 2015
@Mukhtarishaq2 He didn't make anything. He opened a clock, took out the innards and put them in a box so they looked like a bomb — Richard Dawkins (@RichardDawkins)
November 24, 2015
Many individuals have theorized that Mohammed did not build the clock himself, but simply took a working clock apart and tried to pass it off as his own. Others have taken this further, saying that he put in a metal box on purpose, intending it to look like a bomb. Those defending him argue that even if this is true, he is only a youngkid, which Dawkins vehemently disagrees with.
"But he's only a kid." Yes, a "kid" old enough to sue for $15M those whom he hoaxed. And how old is this "kid"? https://t.co/kjzxGDs5Az — Richard Dawkins (@RichardDawkins)
November 24, 2015
Dawkins later tried to defend this comparison:
How COULD you think I was likening a hoaxer to a killer? I just meant "Only a kid" is not a knockdown defence. Remember poor James Bulger? — Richard Dawkins (@RichardDawkins)
November 25, 2015
The ISIS child executioner was brainwashed by adults. James Bulger's killers weren't & they were ten. "Only a kid" needs thinking about. — Richard Dawkins (@RichardDawkins)
November 25, 2015
Regardless of the reality of the bomb hoax theory, the Islamophobia he experienced was unacceptable, and comparing him to an ISIS child executioner is a deplorable move on Dawkins's part. He should really stick to talking about evolution.

Sorry lady, but unless you want to get handcuffed, tased and have your head slammed into the curb, then he can't help you. Later on the kidnapper was shot dead by the cops who listened to her and this asshole was actually fired.
