Frequently Asked Questions
Q. I have completed a share trading course previously - how is Wealth Within different?
This has to be the number one problem for people learning to trade - they get big promises only to find that the company does not deliver. In the end it costs you money, time and you still cannot trade.
Wealth Within specialises in helping people who have attended these types of educational courses. In fact the vast majority of our clients have been elsewhere to learn, only to come to us asking for help.
Our promise to you is that no matter where you have learned or what you have done in the past, we can and will be able to help you achieve your goals in the share market.

Q. I've traded before but my results have not been that great. Can Wealth Within help?
Many traders don't know where to start or how to apply the knowledge they may already have - and mistakes can be costly.
Our goal at Wealth Within is to not only enhance your knowledge but to fill in the missing pieces to make your trading simple, easy and effective. You'll receive comprehensive, interactive support and guidance from professional traders to ensure you not only improve your knowledge and skills, but also increase your profits.
Q. I know how to buy shares but I have a lot of trouble knowing when to sell. Can Wealth Within teach me the right time to sell stocks?
This is one of the things that separates successful traders from those who are not, and is a common problem among traders who know how to get into a stock but don't know where to get out.
Not knowing where to get out will cost you in two ways - one in lost profit because you get out too early or two in bigger losses as you get out too late. Through our comprehensive education and support system we will show you how to confidently determine the best place for you to exit your trades. What we share with you will enable you to dramatically increase your profits and reduce your losses.
Q. Why does my current trading plan always have lots of little losses?
This often happens because of a lack of understanding about the direction of the market. Quite often traders find they buy a stock only to see it fall in price after they bought it. Knowing the direction of the market is the primary objective of a trader. Our expert traders will show you how to simply and easily determine the direction of the market and trade with the trend.
Q. I seem to always be getting stopped out of my trades. Why is that?
This is quite common for traders who have been taught ineffective techniques and strategies. Often traders use the wrong technique for the market they are trading. We show you the right type of stop loss to use for the market you are trading, as well how to use it for your style of trading.
Q. I have read heaps of books. Why is my trading still not profitable?
Many traders start out by reading books in an effort to trade the market. However, most books are designed to give you only enough information to get your attention, not necessarily to trade.
Our uniquely designed educational programs give you the necessary education you need to trade like a professional. You will interact with professional traders who will work with you to comprehend and apply the information taught.
Wealth Within will also provide you with extensive ongoing support throughout the program to assist in developing a trading methodology that suits your style of trading to ensure you are consistently profitable.

District Profiles
Current MLA: David Morse (PC), Minister of Community Services, Minister responsible for the Disabled Persons' Commission Act, Minister of Emergency Management
Riding Profile: Kings South includes the southern part of Kings County, the Cambridge and Horton Reserves, and the town of Wolfville. Wolfville is home to Acadia University with 4,200 students and the Grand Pre National Historic site.
It also includes much of the shopping and manufacturing corridor between Wolfville and Kentville; these sectors are the main employers in areas such as New Minas and Coldbrook. Unemployment was less than five per cent last November but climbed to eight per cent early this year.
The university and the chicken co-op are the largest employers. Educational levels are higher than the provincial average with 17 per cent of residents holding a bachelor's degree or higher. But double that number have not obtained a high-school diploma. Creating enough well-paying jobs to keep university and community college graduates in Kings County is a major issue.
The population is 19,870 and the average income is $24,750.
Issues: The twinning of Highway 101 to Coldbrook, a shortage of family doctors, environmental issues over land use and water, a date for natural gas distribution to the Valley.
Political History: Kings South has been won by all three political parties in the past 15 years and in at least three instances, the margin of victory has been less than 10 per cent. This often makes for dramatic results on election night.
Voter Turnout: 68 per cent in 2003.

Pope chooses 31 new cardinals
Pope John Paul II named 30 new cardinals on Sunday. He also designated a 31st cardinal but did not name him. That man was named 'in pectore' - a term used for prelates in a country where the church is oppressed. The Pope read the list out from his apartment window overlooking St Peter's Square, to pilgrims gathered for his traditional Sunday greeting. Vatican City - along with most of Italy - was without power due to a massive blackout, but his voice was amplified with a backup generator provided by RAI state television. The new cardinals, who will be officially appointed at the consistory next month, are: Msgr Jean-Louis Tauran, France, Vatican foreign minister Msgr Renato Martino, Italy, President of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace Msgr Francesco Marchisano, Italy, Archpriest of St Peter's Basilica Msgr Julian Herranz, Spain, head of the Vatican Office of Legislative Texts Msgr Javier Lozano Barragan, Mexico, head of Vatican office of Health Care Msgr Stephen Fumio Hamao, Japan, head of Vatican office of Migrants Msgr Attilio Nicora, Italy, head of the Administration of Patrimony of the Holy See Msgr Angelo Scola, Italy, Patriarch of Venice Msgr Anthony Olubunmi Okogie, Nigeria, Archbishop of Lagos Msgr Bernard Panafieu, France, Archbishop of Marseille Msgr Gabriel Zubeir Wako, Sudan, Archbishop of Khartoum Msgr Carlos Amigo Vallejo, Spain, Archbishop of Seville Msgr Justin Rigali, United States, Archbishop of Philadelphia Msgr Keith Michael Patrick O'Brien, Scotland, Archbishop of St Andrews and Edinburgh Msgr Eusebio Oscar Scheid, Brazil, Archbishop of Rio de Janeiro Msgr Ennio Antonelli, Italy, Archbishop of Florence Msgr Tarcisco Bertone, Italy, Archbishop of Genoa Msgr Peter Kodwo Appiah Turkson, Ghana, Archbishop of Cape Coast Msgr Telesphore Placidus Toppo, India, Archbishop of Ranchi Msgr George Pell, Australia, Archbishop of Sydney Msgr Josip Bozanic, Croatia, Archbishop of Zagreb Msgr Jean-Baptiste Pham Minh Man, Vietnam, Archbishop of Ho Chi Minh City Msgr Rodolfo Quezada Toruno, Guatemala, Archbishop of Guatemala Msgr Philippe Barbarin, France, Archbishop of Lyon Msgr Peter Erdo, Hungary, Archbishop of Esztergom-Budapest Msgr Marc Ouellet, Canada, Archbishop of Quebec The Rev George Cottier, Switzerland, the Pope's personal theologian Msgr Gustaaf Joos, Belgium The Rev Thomas Spidlik, Czech Republic The Rev Stanislaw Nagy, Poland

The nickel market is so grim right now that three-quarters of global production is likely underwater on a cash margin basis, according to the chief executive of Sherritt International Corp.
"Nobody's making a lot of money at this price level, by the time you factor in your sustaining capital and your financing costs," David Pathe said in an interview.
Nickel prices briefly sank below US$3.70 a pound on Wednesday, the lowest since 2003. By comparison, prices reached a peak of more than US$23 in 2007. They were above US$9 as recently as mid-2014, but have been crushed due to weakening global demand and stubbornly high supply and inventories.
Low prices are taking a toll on Toronto-based Sherritt, which is ramping up production at the new Ambatovy mine in Madagascar at the worst possible time. Sherritt and its joint venture partners spent US$5.3 billion to get the project into production.
On Wednesday, Sherritt said it expects the mine to be written down by a whopping US$2.4 billion. Sherritt owns 40 per cent of Ambatovy and expects to record an impairment of $1.6 billion (Canadian) in its year-end earnings.
If anything, that writedown understates how ugly the nickel market is right now. The US$2.4-billion impairment assumes a long-term nickel price of US$8.50 a pound, or more than double the current level.
Cash costs at Ambatovy were US$4.24 a pound in the third quarter, but Pathe said he is confident they will move closer to US$3 as production rises.
However, the crash in nickel prices has created liquidity issues. Right now, the mine is not generating enough cash flow to service upcoming repayments due to lenders. And Sherritt has an additional problem over the short term, because its returns from the mine are limited until certain loans are repaid. Pathe said he is optimistic these issues will be resolved soon, but he could not put a date on it.
In the meantime, concerns about Sherritt's debt and the overall nickel market continue to take a toll on the stock price. It dropped 12.5 per cent on Wednesday to just 56 cents, giving the company a market value of just $165 million. Sherritt held more than $2 billion of debt at the end of September.
Just two years ago, there was a great deal of optimism around nickel prices because Indonesia implemented an export ban on unprocessed nickel. Some insiders thought that could remove close to a quarter of global output from the market.
However, inventories have remained high. The decline in Indonesian exports was not as large as many expected, and was partially offset by rising production from the Philippines. China also stockpiled a great deal of ore ahead of the ban.

Migrate confusing Win32 apps with tiny controls to touch first mobile apps with large fonts and UI elements while including gesture support and proper spacing.
The advent of a mouse connected to every computer gave users a pixel-precision pointing device. Coupled with ever-growing computer monitors and higher resolution screens, UI elements got smaller and smaller. This wasn't a problem until mobile devices with their small screens became popular. The developers that crammed lots of small buttons and data grids on big PC screens brought those bad UI habits to mobile.
At first, these new mobile developers got away with it because personal digital assistants (PDAs) like the Palm, Handspring, Zaurus and Pocket PC used a stylus with plastic, resistive touch screens. Until the touchable iPhone was released in 2007, many smartphones used a stylus as a replacement for the mouse's precision pointing. This facilitated tiny, touchable UI elements that were hard to see.
When developing today's mobile apps (native + web), touchable UI elements like buttons must be finger-friendly and at least 44 x 44 pixels in size. To prevent the "fat-finger" problem, they must also be at least 20 pixels apart from each other. This will vary based on screen size and pixel density. Implementing responsive design principles is also a must. UI elements must scale smoothly to different smartphone and tablet screen sizes and support gestures like swiping. They must also reorient themselves when a device shifts between portrait and landscape and implement "hamburger" menus to conserve screen space.
Improve user productivity by creating touchable apps that are easy to use to get employees up and running while reducing training requirements and expenses. What is your organization doing to improve app productivity?

Host Child *chapter 1*
Published by groovybananas in the blog groovybananas's blog. Views: 57
"I want to see Kanook."
"No, you saw him yesterday."
"I want to see Kanook."
"I told you no."
Robert sighed. Refusing her was like breaking a leg. You could only do it so many times. He turned around to the mansion, the snow crunching underneath his feet.
No reply.
"You are so difficult. I like you."
He nodded, pleased with the unusual comment, and proceeded on. Though if anything could be usual about her he would be surprised. Ever since he brought her to the estate that
November she had his undivided attention.
However, that made people talk, and talk was what they do best. Soon the giddy gossips of girls were all about Mr. Parker's mysterious guest. Many thought this was a hideous scandal with some foreign woman because no one has seen the girl, only heard of her.
But not of her baby. The horrifying detail that this child was pregnant was kept to the utmost secrecy on penalty of death, or fatal injuries.
Scowling to himself and wondering how long he could keep this up Robert trudged up to the stable. Inside, with the smell of manure and hay, was a young man probably of seventeen years. The withered but warm coat covered most of his dark Indian skin, while the cold froze his thick ebony hair in short choppy waves. He looked up as Robert came in and stopped brushing the horses. Though it was preposterous to have such a feeling for a person with no connections or money, Robert was jealous. This mere stable boy captivated many of the young ladies, though they won't admit it, with his strong, silent, and unintended charm. This charm had also taken one who he wished all to himself, the girl.
Robert need not say anything, Kanook simply bowed and walked out of the stable to where the girl waited for him.
"Ah! Kanook!" She displayed a breath taking smile for him. And though he rarely smiled, he did. How could anyone resist her?
"Come on Kanook! I want to walk!" She pranced up to him through the snow. Even though she carried a baby her agility was astounding.
"If you wish." Kanook bowed.
"Rin!" Robert quickly said before she could frolic away.
"I'll see you at dinner," she answered his unasked question.
"No, Rin. You will come to tea," Robert firmly stated.
"But Robert! I will have tea with Kanook," She complained.
"You have been out in the snow for half an hour now, it is not good for the baby. You want a healthy baby don't you?" He said hoping that she will change her mind.
"The baby does not mind the cold. I don't either."
"But you need food," he said desperately. Robert did not want to be without her for so long. He did not want her to be with Kanook for so long. "What will you eat?" He asked exasperated. But all she did was smile mischievously and wrap her arm around Kanook's and stat to tug him towards the woods.
"Tea, Rin!" Robert called after her. Knowing that she heard, he turned to the house.
The icy crystallized forest loomed hauntingly above the little girl. But Rin weaved in and out of the barren tree trunks as if it were a game. Kanook trailed behind her letting her skip this way and that.
Soon they reached a tiny opening with a single, lonely, snow covered bench. Kanook strode over to the bench whipping all the snow off with two strong swoops. The bench was clean as it was yesterday. Rin picked a brittle brown leaf from a sad looking tree. Twirling it between her figures, she sat down.
"Tea time Kanook," she said as if it as music.
"As you wish, Rin." He pulled off a poor, thin glove. Rin smiled and crushed the leaf letting the dead pieces flutter to the white ground, tainting its pure surface. She clutched Kanook's dark callused hands in her tiny mittens. "The baby will like you Kanook." She pulled his hand to close to herself with surprising strength. Rin cupped his hand to her face. "Oh, I am hungry." She smiled showing her perfect untainted teeth.
It was no surprise when Rin did not show for tea. This made Robert very upset. She never did seem to get enough food. He heard his office door open, Rin never cared for formalities.
"I am ever so sorry!" She cried running to his side. "You must be ever so angry at me, I know you like to have tea with me. I am sorry." She hugged him, her round belly pressing against his leg. He cringed at its touch.
"Four hours," his voice was cold and hard.
"It was pretty outside, Robert! You must walk with me!" Rin offered excitedly and oblivious to his scolding.
"You mustn't be out for that long," he said in a low voice trying to keep his temper in check. "For all I know you could be frozen!" His tone was harsh, but he softly pushed her away.
"Frozen?" her eyebrows furrowed at this word.
Robert sighed. "Frozen, dead, surrounded by snow, covered by ice," he quickly explained, not in the mood to indulge her curiosity.
"Dead." Rin would now repeat that word throughout the day to remember it, along with frozen. "I will have tea with you to-marrow. I promise." She hugged him tighter, nuzzling her face into his shirt. He didn't argue for that was what he wanted.

1. Background and Data Sources
2. FHA Lending in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware
4. FHA Delinquency Status One Year After Closing Date
5. Conclusion and Implications
FHA Lending Patterns Nationally and in the Third District States (27 pages, 858 KB)
The HMDA data indicate that overall lending volume for FHA loans for Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware has largely followed national patterns over the past decade.9 As in the national case, total activity for FHA lending peaked early in the decade, fell to its lowest level mid-decade (2005 and 2006), and rose sharply after the onset of the housing crisis in 2007 and continuing through 2009 (Table 1).
While the Third District states, in general, follow national patterns, there are similarities and differences between the FHA's lending patterns in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware that are worth noting.
FHA home purchase lending was at high levels in the three states in 2000 and 2001 and fell mid-decade. New Jersey and the nation both experienced their lowest levels of FHA home purchase activity in 2006, while Pennsylvania and Delaware experienced their lowest levels one year earlier in 2005. In Pennsylvania, there were 22,998 FHA home purchase originations in 2000, but this number fell to 9,355 in 2005 (a decrease of 59.4 percent) at the FHA program's lowest point. FHA home purchase activity then began a sharp rise in 2008 and 2009, ending the decade at 39,081 (an increase of 318.7 percent from the low point). Similar patterns are evident in New Jersey: There were 20,030 home purchase originations in 2000, 4,566 home purchase originations in 2006 (a decrease of 77.2 percent), and 23,847 in 2009 (an increase of 422 percent). Similarly, in Delaware, home purchase loan originations were 2,331 in 2000, 810 in 2005 (a decrease of 65.3 percent), and 3,206 in 2009 (an increase of 295.8 percent). As this discussion indicates, fluctuations in FHA home purchase activity were less extreme in Pennsylvania and Delaware than in New Jersey (Table 1, Chart 1).
The Third District states largely follow the national trend for FHA home refinance activity. As in the nation, FHA refinance activity in the Third District states hit a peak in 2003,10 then dropped through mid-decade in each state. Refinance activity turned around substantially after 2006 and was at new highs in each state in 2009. In New Jersey, the number of refinance loans in the FHA program was the highest for the three states in all years except 2008 and 2009, when the Pennsylvania count was slightly higher (Chart 1, Table 1).
In the nation as a whole, only in 2003 was the total number of refinance loans in the FHA program higher than the number of FHA home purchase loans. FHA trends in the Third District states, however, varied from those in the nation. Of note, in New Jersey in 2002 and 2003, and more recently in 2007, 2008, and 2009, more mortgage borrowers used the FHA program to refinance a house than to purchase one. Even in the intervening years of 2004, 2005, and 2006, FHA refinance activity was nearly as large as its home purchase activity in that state. In 2008 and 2009, this phenomenon is present in Delaware as well. In Pennsylvania, the ratio of refinance to home purchase has fluctuated from a low of 4.5 percent in 2000 to a high of 92.75 percent in 2003, so that the FHA home purchase share has remained dominant in all years; overall, trends in Pennsylvania more closely resembled national trends than did those of the other two states in the Third District. (See Chart 1 and Table 2.)

Govt seeks talks over cheese industry future
The Tasmanian Government wants a meeting with National Foods about the planned review of its cheese factories.
The multi-national has factories in Burnie, King Island and Launceston and operates the Heidi Farm near Deloraine.
The State Opposition believes up to 370 jobs are now under threat.
Premier David Bartlett says the Department of Economic Development plans to meet the company shortly.
"I would much prefer this situation where we can work with National Foods over a period of time to understand their cost inputs, to understand their other business drivers, to understand their longer term plans so that we might make the proper investments and the proper assistance available," the Premier said.
The Federal Member for Braddon, Sid Sidebottom, also wants more information about the planned review.
Mr Sidebottom wants clarification from the company on how jobs in the region might be affected.
He says the company should have contacted local stakeholders before announcing its review to the media.

Despite previous reports that EliteXC middleweight fighter
Smith confirmed the news himself when he appeared on MMAWeekly Radio Wednesday night.
"I got x-rays yesterday, no breaks, no cracks, nothing. My foot's good to go," he stated.
After the fight ended, Smith limped to the post fight press conference and, at the time, he thought he was dealing with a broken foot, but upon further examination the injury will heal up fairly quickly.
"The night of the fight, I could barely walk on it. By the next day I was walking pretty good, and I'm completely walking normal now," said Smith. "It's black and blue all the way above my ankle and pretty swollen, but the doctor said no breaks, so he just said, 'quit kicking people in the elbow.'"
Following an epic fight with Lawler at the first ever CBS-EliteXC Saturday Night Fights card, Smith says he will take a week off to spend some time with his children and then he will head back into the gym to prepare for his rematch with the champion.
While no official announcement has been made, EliteXC Live Events President
"They said for sure we're rematching, we'll be a main event at a CBS card type thing. It will be good," he commented. "September, October is what I'm told."
After a brief break from action, Smith also said he would be traveling to Thailand to train and get ready for his rematch with Lawler where he hopes this time to go home as the new EliteXC middleweight champion.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
A great wave of immigration to the New World was the result of the enormous political and religious disarray that struck England at that time. Families left for the New World in extremely large numbers. The long journey was the end of many immigrants and many more arrived sick and starving. Still, those who made it were rewarded with an opportunity far greater than they had known at home in England. These emigrant families went on to make significant contributions to these emerging colonies in which they settled. Some of the first North American settlers carried this name or one of its variants: Richard Jessen, who sailed to Philadelphia in 1852; Henry Jesson to Philadelphia in 1865 and George Jesson, also to Philadelphia in 1866.

In this podcast interview with Bruno de Gama, aka The Brazilian Health Nut, we dig into the mechanisms of auto-immunity, why it's so rampant these days, and how it can contribute to weight gain or stubborn weight that refuses to come off.

text: Dispute Between Friends Downtown Leads To Violence By James Stanley January 14, 2012 11:45 AM Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Tyler Watts, SPD Booking Photo A Webster Parish man is behind bars this morning accused of stabbing one of his friends. At approximately 3:35 a.m. on January 14, 2012, Shreveport Police patrol officers were dispatched to the 200 block of Texas Street relative to a stabbing. Upon arrival, officers found Austin Irons suffering from a laceration to his thigh. Irons was transported to LSUHSC by the Shreveport Fire Department with a non-life-threatening wound. Detectives responded to the scene of the crime and, upon further investigation, discovered Irons and 28 year old Tyler Watts, who have been friends for some time, were rough-housing when Watts apparently lost his temper and produced a knife, cutting his buddy on the leg. Watts, of the 300 block of Audleman Road in Doyline, Louisiana, was taken into custody without incident and booked into the Shreveport City Jail on one count of aggravated battery.

Nintendo's messaging efforts began this year with their very first mobile offering, Miitomo, which while short-lived, took the world by storm generating beaucoup revenue out of the gate. Miitomo's user base was also a force to be reckoned with when it broke chart numbers on the iOS and Android stores. The same thing seems to be happening with Pokemon Go, which is pretty much it's own religion at this point. Pokemon Go has been so popular that the mobile application alone increased Nintendo's market value surpassing Sony's earlier this year. That. Is. Ridiculous.
Many people have been using the success of Pokemon Go as obvious reasons as to why Nintendo would make a killing as a third party developer. While that may be true naturally because their properties would be accessible to more people, the success they have had this year, not including the continuously under-delivering Wii U console, showcases that Nintendo still has a brand identity, messaging power, and intellectual properties that get people engaged and excited. I think this alone means that Nintendo could still have what it takes to continue on as a first party developer, but only if their messaging is effective and ideally generates mass excitement.
Nostalgic Messaging Versus a Simpler Approach
With new Nintendo Global President Tatsumi Kimishima at the helm, a business man by literal definition, we're already seeing small changes being implemented that'll turn Nintendo's brand back into one people recognize. On Nintendo's social media networks and Nintendo kiosks in stores like Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and GameStop, Nintendo is going back to the iconic red and white banner we recognized growing up. Their handheld and console items are now being sold under a singular moniker – Nintendo. No more Wii, Wii U, or 3DS split – simply Nintendo. The consolidation of all of their products has been very apparent and could be a visual indication of what is to come. Nintendo's messaging here gives thought to a few things: 1) Red is a strong color and it's eye catching; aggressive. Maybe Nintendo is ready to play ball again. 2) Nintendo is going back to what worked when they were on top of things. Although Nintendo's home consoles began declining in sales in comparison to their competition during the Nintendo 64 era, their brand was still quite favorable because they were delivering products people wanted.
One of multiple criticisms of Nintendo's methods is that they try too hard to cater to the nostalgic crowd. The reception behind newly introduced NES Mini, proves that people do still care about those hit classics that kept them in business. This November, we'll be seeing the NES Mini on store shelves. Pre-equipped with 30 old school classics like the original Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros., and Metroid, this box of retro goodness will be sold at $59.99 retail. The NES Mini has been well-received based on reactions from gamers online and it'll be interesting to see how well, or not-so-well, it sells after it releases at the end of this year. Nostalgia aside, fresh IPs like Splatoon prove that Nintendo can still create new experiences that people of all walks of life can get behind – largely due to successful messaging.
In addition to products launching and what they represent, they are also experimenting with a new slogan that hearkens back to the 90s era – "There's no play like it". Although there were mixed reactions to this slogan, which we honestly don't know will stick around as it hasn't been used since the 2DS price drop announcement in May, it definitely does show signs that Nintendo is revamping the way they message the products they release referencing a simpler format pre-Wii. Or they're at least thinking about it.
Will Nintendo's Messaging Build a Bridge Between Gamers and their Products?
The biggest question, however, is how will Nintendo's messaging affect the upcoming NX console supposedly launching next March? Will the nostalgic approach work again for the 9th generation in a row or does Nintendo need to come back with another approach that incites anticipation? Though everything seems to point to Nintendo playing on the nostalgia strings again, a second look could also infer that Nintendo is going back to simpler times where the messaging was precise and the products were self-explanatory. The Wii shook up just as many people as it brought into gaming and the Wii U's muddled message ultimately lead to it's demise. Wii U disappointment aside, Nintendo's messaging for mobile and the handheld space have been well-received by many. If the NX is what I think it is, a hybrid, I don't see them having much of an issue communicating it to the masses based on history.
Reeling back in, Nintendo of Canada president noted that we should be hearing more about the NX console this fall and I'll definitely be watching to see if Nintendo sends that pinpoint message that gamers find palatable. For Nintendo's sake I hope that the product itself matches that message. If it does, they could once again take the world by storm.
As a gamer and potential consumer, how could Nintendo's messaging assuage your anxiety, if any, about their future products (including the Nintendo NX)? Let us know below!

NEW YORK, Aug 28 (IFR) - A unit of billionaire Paul Singer's Elliott Management, which is Argentina's main holdout creditor, is extending its legal fight with the South American nation to China.
NML Capital served subpoenas this week to Bank of China (BOC) and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) in an effort to obtain information on US$6.8bn in financing for deals signed by the two countries in July.
"We want to understand the mechanics of these credit facilities to establish whether assets to which Argentina has a legal title could surface in jurisdictions where we would be able to attach them," a lawyer advising Elliott told IFR on Thursday.
The subpoenas are aimed at a US$4.7bn facility provided by China Development Bank, ICBC and BOC to finance the construction of two hydroelectric dams in Patagonia and a US$2.1bn loan from China Development Bank and ICBC to finance the Belgrano Cargas railway project.
Both deals were signed by Argentine President Cristina Fernandez and her Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, during an official visit of a Chinese delegation to Buenos Aires.
Elliott hopes to be able to track the payment mechanisms and time legal actions in any relevant jurisdiction accordingly.
The hedge fund is also hoping to bring to light disclosures that Argentina may have made to its Chinese creditors with respect to its dispute with the holdouts, which in July pushed Argentina into its second default in 13 years.
"We think that Argentina may have provided some assurances to the lenders that they have plans to evade the pari passu injunction," said the lawyer, referring to an injunction issued in 2012 by US district court Judge Thomas Griesa that prevents Argentina from paying holders of its restructured bonds unless it also makes holdouts whole.
The Chinese banks have about a month to provide the documents and have been asked to testify at the New York offices of law firms Dechert and Miller & Wrubel on October 8, according to subpoena documents seen by IFR.
While the banks can oppose the request, Elliott is confident that the US courts would ultimately allow its request to go through.
The subpoenas apply to any form of financing and currency swaps the banks may have arranged for Argentina or hundreds of Argentine government-related entities over the last four years.
Elliott - via its NML Capital unit - is one of the lead creditors who sued Argentina for full repayment after the sovereign's 2001 default.
The hedge fund has won a number of legal battles against the country, including obtaining a green light from the US Supreme Court to seek information about Argentina's non-US assets.
In separate proceedings, Elliott plans to subpoena international banks including Citigroup, HSBC and Standard Chartered to seize what it suspects are embezzled Argentine funds, a source at the hedge fund told IFR last week.
Bank of China declined to comment, while Industrial and Commercial Bank of China was not immediately available for comment. (Reporting by Davide Scigliuzzo; editing by Shankar Ramakrishnan and Paul Kilby)

Just like airlines, cruise lines occasionally overbook their ships. And just like the airlines, cruise lines seek out volunteers willing to accept compensation to reschedule their cruises. But unlike airlines, we've never heard of a passenger being forcibly bumped -- until now.
In a thread posted on Cruise Critic's message boards, member Zebra explained how four days before her June 11 four-night Monarch of the Seas Bahamas cruise, a Royal Caribbean representative called to say her ship was overbooked and she was being bumped. She had booked the cruise, which departs from Port Canaveral, 10 days earlier in a guaranteed inside cabin.
Though all cruise lines reserve the right in their cruise contracts to cancel, deviate or substitute a cruise for any reason, the common practice is to seek out volunteers and not force anyone off a ship that's been overbooked.
"RCCL called to say that they apologize but they have overbooked this cruise so we have three choices," she wrote. According to a cruise line representative, she could trade in her inside guarantee for the same itinerary departing on the same day but from Miami, a four-and-a-half-hour drive from her home, on Majesty of the Seas. For her trouble, Royal Caribbean would provide an upgrade to an oceanview stateroom and an additional $100 onboard credit. A second option was to reschedule her cruise on Monarch of the Seas for a later date, with the same oceanview bump-up and $100 in onboard credit. Or she could simply cancel and get a full refund.
Whichever option she chose, the one choice she wasn't given was for her cruise to take place on the ship and on the date she booked. After Zebra requested more compensation (the line ultimately raised the offer to $300 onboard credit), she chose the Miami alternative. But in her eyes this bumping was anything but voluntary.
An effort at clarifying the issue with Royal Caribbean went unrewarded, as spokesman Harrison Liu would only tell Cruise Critic that "someone had volunteered and accepted compensation to reschedule their cruise vacation." Liu would not respond to requests for further clarification.
We're not sure if he's talking about the same person, but Zebra is sure she didn't volunteer. "We were not given the option at all to stay on the ship," Zebra told Cruise Critic in an e-mail. "They told us twice 'You have three options,' so we did not pursue the issue of staying on the Monarch."
Cruise seller Tim Martin, owner of an Oregon-based CruiseOne location, said he has never encountered a situation like Zebra's. Booking so close in and on a guarantee basis was probably a factor, he told Cruise Critic.
"If it was my client," Martin said, "I would be reviewing the cruise contract to see how much wiggle room I had."
With that said, we can't help but wonder how much wiggle room Zebra might have had as well. She didn't push her case of staying on her originally booked cruise. But what if she had? Would Royal Caribbean have forced her off? Or would the cruise line have backed down?
To learn more about bumping, and what to do if you're bumped, see our feature, Could You Be Bumped from Your Next Cruise?
Personally after 9 cruises since 2002 I have never heard of anything like this happening. People get removed from ships but its usually for bad behavior. has anyone ever heard of a passenger being bumped for overbooking?

RCI overbooks, bumps passenger. Ever hear of this before?
Just like airlines, cruise lines occasionally overbook their ships. And just like the airlines, cruise lines seek out volunteers willing to accept compensation to reschedule their cruises. But unlike airlines, we've never heard of a passenger being forcibly bumped -- until now.

For $300 on board credit and an upgrade to outside from inside, on a 4 night Caribbean cruise, I would say that's decent compensation. A typical 4 night Caribbean cruise would probably goes for between $199 to $299 per person anyway.
I am surprised that she did not ask for free transfers from the Cape to Miami, I think they would do it.
I have not seen any bumping on cruise ships either, but with a high compensation, it could be "voluntary", as in make it worth my while.
Report Abuse
I have never heard of this either. However, I think the RCI rep made it sound as if she did not have a choice to stay on the ship. She could have asked for the resolution department. I am too well acquainted with RCI's resolution department.
RCI's IT department is well known for screw ups. Just look at what happened when they renumbered some of Rhapsody's cabin numbers while it was in dry dock. Ouch!
That being said, she did "volunteer" to be bumped. She said "yes".
Report Abuse
Never heard of it done before.
Maybe because it is a short cruise ?
No reason to overbook, but it is done.
Report Abuse
How can they bump you? Isn't a cruise non refundable? So if someone doesn't show they are still paid for it. Surely they cannot "double dip"
If I had been bumped, I wouldn't be satisfied with $5000 compensation and an upgrade to the Royal Suite on my next cruise. I would have organised time off work for myself and hubby at the same time which isn't easy to to do.
I find this absolutely unbelievable.
