Update for Saturday February 9, 2013.
My contact just called and said he will calling me and sharing what the results of the vote is. Yes it is in the middle of the night for me. Please watch this post as I will keep this updated. So yes they are voting on the budget.Steve
Greetings Members,
I think this week was a great week regarding news and the progress. Ray and I have spent many hours talking to our contacts and verifying the news being reported. After reading may articles, we both came to the very same conclusion, do not believe everything you read.
Many articles on this forum are causing a lot of confusion. For all of you members, I do take the time to read each and very one of them, and I truly thank you for doing that
Please remember, Ray and I are not physically in Iraq so we have to rely on my partner in Iraq and other contacts, plus all of Rays contacts he has reached out to and has come very trust worthy.
Read More Link On Right
Many just do not realize that we only share what we are being told. We have never gone beyond the facts and twisted any statement to benefit us, but rather just the opposite. We do stick our necks on the line. Heck you all know my real name and my wife's name. Can you say that for any other site? Probably not.
To my knowledge there is no prize for being first in a date prediction (you sure have me fooled), no first prize in getting the rate correct (also had me fooled), but rather we just share what we know.
I have a very large circle of friends that do tell me what others are saying but it is only to advise me that we are doing a great job of being factual rather than fictional. I will leave it at that.
Our sources did share that they were going to vote on the budget Thursday the 5th. They did not complete the vote but did in fact finish adjusting it and they did agree on moving forward.
Because Friday (our today) is their holy day, not much got done except a bunch of articles that were a misdirection of the actual facts. Each agency seemed to have their own version So you can now related to news that is not factual.
Please do not forget that each news agency is out to gain subscribers and is not doing this for the fun of it. News is a huge business, so why would Iraq be any different.
We, all of our contacts collectively are being told that they (Iraq as a country) is out of money. Ok, that maybe false, they have mega billions, but not able to access them.
I read that there are two budgets (DV concept) one budget is for the country and one is for the RV. That is so far from facts that it does not make any sense. Great for keeping members (maybe) but not so for being real.
I want you all to watch when the budget is officially posted, recorded, or whatever the case may be, I will tell you that it is now not based on $90 ppb but a different amount (higher).
So when this is over, I am not sure who will really care, but I do know for a fact who will, and that will be the Iraqi citizens.
A few more comments and then I will end this post.
Everyone says that Iraq is still under Chapter VII, and their is no HCL law in pace and the list goes on. So instead of taking bits and pieces of this post and twisting into your warped negative way, why not just let this next chapter unfold and then determine who is right and who is wrong.
Please feel free to provide any solid fact to dispute it.
For those that say there is no way it will revalue or end up being a value of over $3.00 then go find the facts, find the proof, find anything to dispute it, but if your are going to use some "will I think" concept, then do not bother.
What blows me away is all of the negative comments and the mentality of "this will never happen" or whatever you believe, so then why are you invested?
You invested with the belief that you would gain more than your initial investment and have followed this very closely. Some more than others.
So if you would rather be negative about what your are currently holding then why would you want to bring down the hopes of others? You know why, because in the back of your mind, you know it is going to happen. If you didn't you would not be bashing everyone and everything.
My final statement is this. Please feel free to have at it.
The Iraq Budget of 2013 was configured and derived with a new dinar rate (and now adjusted). The rate will be returned to a value that is comparable within its region. You should see the new rate within a reasonable time frame.
This saga will not drag on for weeks, so you all can now all write your version of how this will end.
I did all I am going to do and it is your turn to contribute to something positive. We here at Peoples Dinar will have a happy ending, but you other, start writing your final summation of this happy ending.
For all you members of Peoples Dinar and who have stuck with us, including the wonderful mods, we will finish this with integrity and with class. I love you all. Blessings, Steve

Well said Steve (and Ray)!! I could not agree more! And... thank you! I also agree with Mystery Lady... don't read everything posted... follow those you like, the positive and inspiring ones... and leave the rest behind!
2/9/2013 02:02:28 am
Thanks Steve1(Ray) to your commitment of only wanting to bring the truth and the reality of what is truly going on. I have had to stop reading the bulk of the posts in the last few days because of the negative and dismembering,and ridiculas assumptions of people......so sad that such a gift like this could bring alot of people to allow the enemy into their thoughts and of course reactions......withstrain of tongue and pen?????? Some have even gone on to bash the Christians as a whole.....where will it end?.....if this is how people are responding to not having their immediate way.....it terrifies me to think what are they all going to do when it really gets tough and money can't cure what their going through.....my favorite line after working in the fabulous Hamptons for 35 years has been.....'if money can cure your problems,you have no problems.' Thanks again

I rarely post but read nearly everything written on this site.
2/9/2013 01:44:52 am
I've asked this before but I didn't get any response for some reason- has there ever been another country that had sanctions and an artificially devalued currency- if so what happened to their currency when the sanctions were lifted? Did their money come out low and float over time or lop or any of the other "for sure" things that are being said about this situation- the global reset not with standing- thanks HT
2/9/2013 02:00:40 am
Germany was placed under sanctions. The German Mark was revalued and as I recall the story, this is how some of our wealthiest families became rich, back in the day. Here are a couple of links for reference:
2/9/2013 02:18:46 am
I have always valued your comments Steve because you bring logic and realism to this investment instead of the everyday hype that fulfills some sites. This is not about who calls it first or who gets the rate correct, who cares! When egos replace the real reason this global reset is taking place the majority of the investors lose credibility of why those are even reporting.
2/9/2013 01:50:12 am
Stevel, you're a breath of fresh air. Thanks to you and Ray and Ocrush.
2/9/2013 01:54:22 am
Excellent post!!! Well stated... and very humble I might add. Thank you for your honesty and integrity --- unfortunately, there are a few gurus that need to follow this example.
Steve, Ray and Ocrush--Thank you all for your factual (as you find it) and comments. I totally agree tht those who 'bash' should be banned, or go somewhere else. What good comes from that? Thanks for all your help and especially the last post. You have said it all--correctly. Thank God for all the great work from the optimists, Is that a good word?
2/9/2013 01:57:18 am
Thank you so much for you honesty and keeping us updated on the true facts. Ya'll are a blessing to all of us and I wish happiness and love and many blessing to each of you and your families.
2/9/2013 02:03:38 am
Hopefully this will get posted, read & I'm sure picked over. None of this is bashing towards the poster or anyone in particular. It's just stating the obvious. Steve's quote : "So if you would rather be negative about what your are currently holding then why would you want to bring down the hopes of others? You know why, because in the back of your mind, you know it is going to happen. If you didn't you would not be bashing everyone and everything."
2/9/2013 02:57:38 am
Bingo!!!!!!! Finally a worthy and factual statement has been posted
2/9/2013 04:20:51 am
Thanks to the both of you. Fortunately Recaps is a great forum where unbiased opinions & statements can be made without being portrayed as a naysayer & banned. If everyone involved would exercise one iota of common sense this investment would be a lot more enjoyable. The gurus also need to exercise a little bit of responsibility in what they choose to post. We are all adults & just hope more people in these rooms start acting that way.
2/9/2013 04:39:34 am
Excellent point(s) shaverstein! An amazing dynamic that SEEMS to get repeatedly overlooked is that often when someone new get's elevated to star-status they look down on other gurus and straight talkers and cry "foul" to further thier own good image. TO DATE: Nobody has been accurate yet, especially in a fashion offering it's own proof! So the TRUTH is 'we shall see', once the exchange has taken place, WHO was what and how often!! Until then I do appreciate folks that of their own motivation explore the news and media and bring a (thusly) informed-opinion to the table. IF everything is an estimate/rumor/speculation/or opinion anyway, NOBODY is wrong and NOBODY is right, and like you I'm hoping for the best which would appear soon & high!

All of this negativity that i've seen people bring here only adds to the frustration that everyone has been feeling.
2/9/2013 02:14:04 am
The only Guru's I follow are Steve, Ray and Ocrush, the others have been around the block to many times. These guys seem to have a different prospective on the Dinar, more facts and no hype. Steve, Ray and Ocrush are the only Guru's to keep coming back and informing us of what is going on. Everything may not happen at the expected time they say but these guys will come back and give you some facts on what happend. I do like the fact that their are NO AIRPLANES getting ready to land or take off.
2/9/2013 02:14:09 am
Thank You Steve :)
2/9/2013 02:20:28 am
Good post...if all the negative people don't want to be in this investment then why come on the site.Thanks for keeping the positive side
2/9/2013 02:27:45 am
Thank you Lord for Steve & Ray, For their honesty and wisdom I praise You above all. These two Men and their contacts give me hope in mankind and the glory of God. His counsel has been steady and faithful to the blessings of God. Father give us patience for the victory is Yours and may we never forget Your kindness and Mercy. Amen
2/9/2013 02:27:54 am
I want you all to watch when the budget is officially posted, recorded, or whatever the case may be, I will tell you that it is now not based on $90 ppb but a different amount (higher).

Thank you Steve, Ray and OCrush for all of your hard work and keeping us, that have no way of getting concrete information on our own, informed. Blessings to all of you.
2/9/2013 02:50:15 am
Thanks Steve, keep up the good work
2/9/2013 02:55:04 am
I dont agree with the bashing but i kind of understand where they coming from. If i had been in this for 10yrs and keep hearing its going to revalue everyday. I will be a little fustrated too
2/9/2013 07:56:49 am
Sometimes information is mistaken for bashing, I want the best information put out not rumors that get one excited thinking its going to come today or tomorrow leading to false hope. So when I see the peeps only follow a select few and think they are the messiah.
2/9/2013 02:57:30 am
This sounds really good but according to news the budget was delayed. If it was passed you would have many more people verifying it.

Thanks for the reassuring and edifying post:)
2/9/2013 03:46:43 am
The fresh winds of Steve will give us a chance to breathe and not the ne the negative aspect of a few who cant handle being on the sidelines,honestly that's where we all are , all we can do is be fans as this plays out
2/9/2013 03:51:29 am
Thanks Steve. I have been invested in this for 2+years now. Although I do read some of the other posts I really do not get caught up in the hype. I feel most of them talk just to hear themselves talk or feel important. If I feel myself feeling getting kinda disappointed I just go back over your post and get my "Feel Good" on. I feel as though you have our best interest at heart and a person with high integrity. I read the other day where someone said waiting on the RV was like watching your grass grow. You can go to bed one night and your grass had not grown but it rained while you were asleep and suddenly when you get up the next day your grass has grown overnight. I feel as though our SUDDENLY is upon us. James
2/9/2013 04:03:44 am
Steve has been my hero for quite some time. He cares for us all.
2/9/2013 04:09:50 am
Steve ( & Mods) thanks for your post today and all your work/intel you provide. Brother, there are many of us out here that say nothing and just read ... for of those like me - the readers and silent ones - thanks so much for all you do and be to bring us a reality on the dinar RV. You rock my work in so many ways. Blessings to you and your family!
2/9/2013 02:40:59 pm
Al, you can take any foreign currency into Canada but you have to declare anything of $10K or more at the boarder when you you cross. The question would be: if you exchange your dinars for US$ before you cross should you pay taxes on the gains in the US? I bet the answer would be a resounding YES. If you acquired your dinars in the states, cross into Canada and declare at the boarder then exchange do you have to pay taxes on the gains in the states? Probably but, how can the US prove your gains? Does the currency dealer report how many dinars you bought to the US? Good question. Do you have to report what you gained if you did it out of the country? Probably.
2/9/2013 02:44:47 pm
Al, another comment: if this whole thing comes down as we believe and we all end up loaded it would be a good idea to put some money in Canada, a country with no debit and a strong natural resource base whose currency is stable and not likely to devalue like the U$ dollar.
2/9/2013 04:31:56 am
I dont want to give my hair color away here, but may I ask about the "waiting on the budget approval" deal here? If that has been the issue all along, havent we wasted years looking at everything BUT that? Why now? Havent they had a budget before now?
2/9/2013 04:37:05 am
"This saga will not drag on for weeks." This is a direct qoute from your post. So...if in "weeks" this thing has still dragged out I would expect you to come on and post that you were wrong and that you were wrong to criticize those who have the nerve to question everything you and your other gurus say since NOTHING you or anybody ekse has said has even come close to being true.

I'm constantly trying new things, but I only review stuff that I actually use. That should help keep the clutter down and keep you focused on the best stuff out there. I hope these reviews are of benefit to you in your lifelong adventure of photographic fortune and glory.
Photo Software Reviews
Five pieces of software you should have
- Aurora HDR 2017 for Mac – I developed this software along with Macphun for HDR and general processing
- Photomatix Review – if you're on Windows, this is your best choice for HDR processing
- OnOne Software Review – a robust suite of products and great tools you should know
- Topaz Adjust Review – an amazing plugin to give very nice effects
Additional Software you may find helpful
- SmugMug Review – how I share my photos online… I think SmugMug is the best

- Lucis Pro Review – wonderful for adding sharp detail and pop

Photo Software Coupon Codes
I also have a complete list of the best coupon codes for photo editing software.
Camera Equipment Reviews
Below is a list of cameras I recommend that should work for any skill level or budget. In addition, I have a more complete list of Camera Lens Reviews that covers all the lenses I use for my photography.
Good Camera: Sony a5100
This Sony mirrorless camera is highly recommended if your budget is keeping you around the $500 level.
- Check price of the Sony a5100 on Amazon
- Check price of the Sony a5100 on B&H Photo
If budget is not a concern, I suggest you jump down to the "Better" or "Best" or "HARDCORE" recommendations. However, if budget is your principal concern, then no worries; this Sony is the way to go! One great thing about it is that all the lenses that you get for this camera can also be used if and when you decide down the road to upgrade to the Sony a7Rii model below.
Better Camera: Sony a6300
Starting at below $999 for the body.
- Check price of the Sony a6300 on Amazon
- Check price of the Sony a6300 on B&H Photo
The A6300 is the latest evolution of the high end Sony APS-C models. It features, amongst other great features, enhanced autofocus speed and 4K movie recording. You can read my complete Sony a6000 review, it is the model the A6300 replaces and has many of the same specs. The a6000 series has a number of advantages over the lower-priced a5000 models. It has a built-in electronic viewfinder, more focal points, and faster continuous shooting (11 fps vs 6 fps).
Best Camera: Sony a7R II
Starting at just over $3198
- Check price of the Sony a7R II on Amazon
- Check price of the Sony a7R II on B&H Photo
A full-on Sony a7R Review is here on the site that is full of a ton of sample photos. The Mark 2 is faster, 42 Megapixel (instead of 36), and, most importantly, it has in-body stabilization. AWESOME. I used this camera ll the time before getting the Hasselblad X1D below. It's a great camera and much more affordable than the Hasselblad. I absolutely love it even though I'm not using it any more. It has all the power of the giant DSLR systems at a fraction of the price and size. Its Full-Frame goodness combined with a small mirrorless form factor gives you everything you need. Plus, the camera smarts inside are absolutely insane. Check on the review there to see even more!
HARDCORE MODE: Hasselblad X1D
Starting at the low low bargain price of around $9,000.
- Check price of the Hasselblad X1D on B&H Photo
What a beast! You can read the full review over here which has loads of sample images. The key points are that it's medium format and mirrorless, which means it's got a much bigger sensor than the Sony and is not that much bigger in size. 50 megapixels. Beautiful and Sleek. I have the 30mm, 45mm, and 90mm lenses and they are all outstanding! The only downsides I can see so far is it is a bit slow (like 2 frames per second) and the software is a tiny bit buggy. I think the latter will be fixed with firmware. Either way, the images it produces are phenominal.
Camera Lenses
Sony a7R – First Three Lenses
Note these work for all the Sony A7 cameras! 🙂
- Sony FE 24-70 f/4 (Amazon | B&H Photo) – A great mid-range lens the covers wide to mid-range zooming. See more on the Sony 24-70mm review.
- Sony FE 24-240 f/3.5-6.3 (Amazon | B&H Photo) – This lens is great. What a range! It's not super-fast, but that's not a problem for me.
- Sony FE 16-35 f/4 (Amazon | B&H Photo) – I'm so excited about this lens! This is the first full-frame wide angle lens that fits the eMount on the Sony a7 line of cameras.
Sony a7R – Other Goodies!
- Sony Alpha Adaptor (Amazon | B&H Photo) – So that you can attach the other Sony full-frame Alpha lenses to your Sony a7R
- Novoflex Leica Adaptor (Amazon | B&H Photo) – Fantastic for attaching any lens that uses the Leica lens mount. WARNING: Do not get the cheaper adapters. I tried them, thinking it was just a piece of metal, but it was not and many of my photos, especially at infinity, were out of focus. Check out my Leica Lens Buying Guide for more info.
- Nikon F Lens Adaptor (Amazon | B&H Photo) – To hook up your Nikon DSLR lenses
- Canon EF Adaptor (Amazon | B&H Photo) – To hook up your Canon DSLR lenses
Sony A5100 / A6300 Camera – Two Great Lenses
If you are just getting started and want recommendations on your first couple of lenses, here they are. Often times a camera will come with a "kit lens" that is pretty versatile and can get you a long way. The Sony a6300 comes with a 16-50mm lens that produces great pictures. But there are many lenses that are better for more specialized situations.
- Sony 55-210mm (Amazon | B&H Photo) – This lens is a little big but its versatility is perfect for mid-range stuff like landscapes, birthdays, sports, etc.
- Sony 10-18 F/4 (Amazon | B&H Photo) – A great lens that gives you maximum wide-angle flexibility for landscapes and architecture. To find out more, read my full Sony 10-18mm Lens Review. Note: This is also a great lens for the Sony A7r Mark 2, giving you the full range of 12-17mm. The edges get a bit ropy, but only hardcore camera nerds look at the edges.

Come check out my Camera Bag page for more details!
Over the past year few years, I've been partnering with Peak Design to build five incredible camera bags. And now you can see more! See our current Kickstarter here and/or check out our first Everyday Messenger here!
Leica Lens Buying Guide
I'm really getting into using Leica lenses with the Sony a7R. You have to manually focus but you still get focus peaking and all of the other sweet features of the Sony mirrorless system. I've created a Leica Lens Buying Guide where I'll chronicle what I learn and recommend.
More Lens Reviews
I only write reviews for lenses that I use and recommend. Here is a complete list of camera lens reviews.
DJI Phantom and Inspire 1 Quadcopters
I recently got a quadcopter and I LOVE it! You can get amazing photos and videos from previously unattainable perspectives.
I have now upgraded to the Phantom 4 Pro and it is now my go-to Quadacopter (that's what my daughter Scarlett calls them!). Here is my Phantom 4 Pro review.
Tripod Recommendations
I've recently switched tripods, then switched back, then switched again. I'm like the Caitlyn Jenner of tripods, and I'm not proud. But I'm ownin' it girl.
- High End — The TQC-14 Tripod from RRS – I love this tripod. Again, I've switched around a lot… but this thing honestly fixes all the gripes I had with previous RRS tripods.
- Budget — Any 3-Legged Thing Tripod – These are also nice tripods. Yes, they are still pricey but with good quality. There are some very inexpensive tripods out there, but they are so flimsy and you should not waste your time.

The New York Knicks could trade Iman Shumpert sooner rather than later, reports Marc Stein of ESPN.com.
More and more folks around the league see some sort of Shumpert deal materializing sooner rather than later, given that he's New York's only real asset of value to make an in-season move and with the Knicks increasingly confident that they've got enough at the position to handle Shumpert's exit now that J.R. Smith is back and with rookie Tim Hardaway Jr. looking good early.
Word is that the Nuggets do have a level interest — just not if the Knicks keep asking them to part with Kenneth Faried in exchange — while Sacramento is also said to be gauging how Shumpert might fit in.
The reality, though, is that the Knicks had no chance of getting the Nuggets interested in a Shumpert-for-Faried swap without picks to send Denver, too. And the Knicks are essentially bereft of tradeable picks for years.
The Knicks are 3-5 with Tyson Chandler expected to be out at least a month. But they don't have a first round or second round pick to trade until 2018.
Shumpert, who finished with five points, nine assists, six rebounds and four steals in the Knicks' 95-91 win against Atlanta, was upset with the trade rumors after the game.
"Yeah, it pissed me off, but that's what the New York media does," Shumpert said. "It's not the first time. It happens. … [Woodson] told me not to worry about it. He said that if they put you in trade rumors, other people want you and you should smile about it. Whatever."

One of the main reasons people voted for Great Britain to leave the EU, was the problem with Eastern Europe, something the Brits had to encounter a lot more than the other Europeans. After the United Kingdom leaves the European Union, this problem will only get worse. The Baltics and other depressive outskirts of Europe will be a much more potent stimuli for the rise in Euroscepticism and centrifugal forces within the EU than the Asia and Africa migrant quotas or the Euro zone problems. In the event of a systemic crisis of European integration for Germany and the other Euro Grands there will be no other option to save the European Union, then to exclude Eastern Europe and the Baltics from it.
For over half a century of European integration, the opposite process of European disintegration was set into motion. That, which was thought impossible happened: UK voted to leave the European Union. The leading British politicians and European Union officials didn't believe in Brexit, all of the polls showed that pro-European attitudes outweighed Euroscepticism. However, the impossible happened: 52% of the Brits spoke for leaving the European Union.
It made sense that history's first referendum on leaving the EU took place in the United Kingdom: in recent years, this country showed a record amount of Euroscepticism. The Brussels allergy was widespread among the elite and among the populace of many European countries, but only the misty Albion had more than 50% of the people vote for leaving the EU. Why do the Brits experience such repulsion to "European unity"? The reason for this is easily seen when looking at the election rhetoric of the British politicians and the main questions David Cameron's cabinet bargained for with the European Commission for the last two years, threatening the European bureaucrats with UK leaving the EU. The four main points of contention were – giving the British Parliament the right to veto European Commission directives, renouncing further increase in Brussels' power and limiting the power of national governments, equal rights when deciding economic issues for countries, who adopted the Euro and countries who kept their national currency, as well as limiting the freedom of movement, granting London the right to limit the Eastern European immigration and not allow Poles and Balts to the British Isles.
Britain's exit from the European Union was the population's reaction to the Eastern Europe problem first of all: if the problem wasn't there, then the Brexit would not get the votes that it did.
And if governments and people from most of the EU countries agree with the first three points, the Eastern European immigration is a specifically British issue. Out of all the "Old Europeans", the British felt the problem of "New Europe" firsthand. Despite the region being geographically distant from the United Kingdom, this country faced the consequences of the feverish addition of new and new Eastern Europeans into the ranks. The endless flow of Polish and Baltic migrant workers in recent years had turned into an endless headache for the people in UK.
After the UK leaves, Eastern Europe will be an even more pressing problem for the continental "core" members of the EU: in the future, the presence of the Baltics and other depressive Eastern outskirts in the European ranks will be the most stable stimulus for the rise Euroscepticism and a threat to the existence of "United Europe."
First, with the lockdown on the British border, the unending flow of Romanian, Croatian, Lithuanian and Latvian migrant workers will reroute itself and flood the work markets of the continental countries of Western Europe. The Polish and Baltic migrant influx problems, which, until now, were in Birmingham, Glasgow and Manchester, will now move to Berlin, Frankfurt and Marseille.
In addition, unlike the refugees from Asia and Africa, whose onslaught on Europe is an emergency situation and can be stopped, the flow of desperate unemployed people from Eastern Europe, who lost all hope in surviving in their home country will be a chronic and systemic issue, as a direct result of European integration. Likely, in the short term, migrant workers from the East will annoy native Germans and Frenchmen a lot less than ones from Africa and Arabia, but with years, the invasion of Romanians, Poles and Balts will undermine the popularity of "United Europe" in Germany and France as it had in United Kingdom.
Second, with the departure of Europe's second biggest economy from the EU, UK's share on filling up the EU budget will split between the remaining "donors" of the European Union. So sustaining the non-profitable East European countries incapable of financial independence will now cost even more for "Old Europe." Of course, this situation will stimulate the rise in centrifugal force: the aforementioned United Kingdom the calls to stop feeding Eastern Europe, sending over 2 billion pounds to the EU budget every year, played an important part in Brexit supporter promotional campaign.
Third, the EU founding countries will continue to face the destructive and absurd policies of the "New Europe", including ones that contradict the national interests of "Old Europe."
You need only look at the diplomatic activity of the Baltic republics, to understand the point. The unreserved support of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), not even allowing the thought that Europeans can disagree on something with Americans. Attempts to block the construction of the second branch gas pipeline of the Nord Stream, which is not just a Russian, but also a German project (meaning the Baltics are actively trying to stop money coming to the hand that feeds them). The fight to prolong sanctions against Russia, which only harm the economies of the Baltic sponsors, not to mention the economies of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia themselves.
The passionate determination of the "New Europe" elites to further expand the EU deserves a special mention.
The most important cause of the European Union's current problems is its forced expansion, when 12 relatively equal economically and culturally close European countries turned to 28 countries with huge contrasts in development.
A majority of the new countries, including the Baltics, did not meet the Copenhagen criteria of EU membership and were still accepted into the European family. Now the leaders of these countries, in their glaring Eurooptimism, bordering on Euroidiocy, are trying to promote further EU expansion by accepting increasingly poor, problematic and uncontrollable countries.
A year ago, on very day when Right Sector militants started full-fledged battles with the Ukrainian armed forces over contraband of cigarettes on the Poland-Slovakia border, the Latvian MFA Edgars Rinkēvičs spoke on Ukrainian TV, joyfully expressing his full and unconditional support of Ukraine entering the EU. What the common Europeans think of the idea of adding Ukraine with a population of 40 million, its poverty, corruption, Right Sector, war in the South-East and other specifics? That was shown in a April referendum in the Netherlands, which was deemed important enough by a third of the voters to go to on a work day, mostly speaking against associating Ukraine and the EU.
However, no social polls in Europe will force the East European neophytes to stop exporting the "European Choice": it is no accident that following the Dutch referendum, Lithuanian president Dalia Grybauskaitė recorded a TV presentation with a call to disregard the voice of Dutch population and keep dragging Ukraine to the EU. Such disregard of common sense and the interest of the common Europeans will only increase the annoyance "New Europe" is causing.
These past years, UK was Europe's lightning rod for many problems tied to East Europe.
The United Kingdom at the same time took the problem of migrant workers and was the main defender and advocate of anti-Russian phobias and complexes of "New Europe." Without London's approval and sympathy, Latvia and Lithuania would have immediately into the local madmen – countryside fools on the outskirts of Europe, seeing visions of "green men." The support in Brussels, from the UK delegates lent at least respect to the Russophobe rhetoric of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania's representatives – even the American hawks now admit, that it will be a lot harder for the Balts to push their anti-Russian agenda in the EU without London.
However, the majority of Brits said "enough!" to all of it. Handle the Latvian dirty workers yourself, pay the Romanians and Poles their social aid, send money to Brussels for donations to Croatia and Slovakia, play the Lithuanian geopolitical games, but we won't be doing any of that anymore.
So now the problems with East Europe, and the population fleeing from it, falls unto the shoulders of the founding countries of the EU. And in the future, these problems will be a fertile soil for further popularity of Alternative for Germany (AfD), the French National Front, Dutch Freedom Party, Italian Lega Nord and other Euroskeptics calling for the European Union's dissolution. They will strengthen the separatist tendencies in Europe's richest regions: Spanish Catalonia, Belgian Flanders, Italian Veneto, - the people of these regions will be presented with the necessity of not just feeding their Southern compatriots, but also some Lithuanian they have never heard of, know nothing of and can't even spell.
In the case of systemic crisis of European integration, when the prospect of the European Union falling apart is in full view, the EU founding countries will have no other choice of saving "United Europe" but to kick out Eastern Europe and the Baltics.
One could say that such a scenario of events is too radical and practically impossible. But the situation of UK leaving the EU seemed fantastical and practically impossible until 23 June. Only recently, the European Union seemed like the pinnacle of human development, a paragon of socio-political construction, a city on the hill, which can only expand, but not get smaller. Now, after six decades of European integration, the disintegration has begun: inspired by the Brits, opponents of "United Europe" can initiate referendums one after the other on leaving the European Union. Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, France – all of the EU donor-countries are experiencing a rise in anti-Brussels attitudes and those favor of disbanding the European Union can expect to find considerable support there.
Is a European crisis on such a scale that it threatens the future existence of the EU really an impossibility? But the crisis tendencies in Europe have been felt in recent years and the Brexit that happened despite all forecasts is the best indicator. In accordance with the function cycles of capitalist economy, overproduction crises happen every 10-15 years, and when another economic crisis hits the unresolved and untended problems of the EU, then the systemic all-encompassing crisis of European integration will take place.
There is no doubt, that when the systemic crisis strikes – the countries, which benefited from European integration and founded the EU, will not have time for sentimentality and time for those they tamed.
It is noteworthy that during the critical day of the British referendum results, only the six founding EU member country MFA's flew to Berlin to discuss the Brexit.
Offended by such flagrant disregard of their allies, Poland called an alternative summit of the EU countries MFAs, who weren't invited to Berlin. But it is clear that the diplomatic affront meant nothing. The Germany and France's joint plan on leaving the crisis may affect the fate of Europe, but another loud reminder of their own importance from Poland and the Baltics will never affect anything. Right now, the Euro Grands just don't have time for them, and in the future, when the situation will really come to push, they can just kick them out of the EU.

I am asking you to root for the Dogs (as they call it) because Mrs. BIE was an athlete there and is a graduate of Butler. Now, she is as big a Dawg fan as there is. Anyone who knows her can attest. She took a bunch of Georgia banners and the Redcoat Band CD to work yesterday for a Tennessee graduate that is leaving her office, with a friendly banner that said something along the lines of "Good Riddance" and "The IQ of the Office Just Went Up." She sat in the rain in '04 against Tech the whole game. Sober. Six months pregnant.
So for her, I am asking you to root for the Butler Bulldogs. The colors are unoffensive (think Georgia Southern, without the yellow Eagle). They say Go Dogs, but will forgive you if you slip up and say Go Dawgs. A trip to the Final Four is at stake, which in basketball crazy Indiana is a big deal, especially considering her whole family are all Indiana grads. With the final four being played five miles from campus, it'll be an even bigger deal. Of course, if you have a pecuniary interest in the outcome, I'll understand. She might not, so keep it to yourself as she is back below her playing weight. Did I mention she threw shot put and hammer in college?
Now, if Butler wins, I just need Kentucky to lose so the price of Final Four tickets will plummet. I'm gonna need a couple.

I have noticed that I wake up gasping for air a few times a night for a while
Patient : I have noticed that I wake up gasping for air a few times a night for a while, but after recording myself a few times, I found that it mainly only happened between 5am and 9am- a snort then a gasp anywhere from 5 - 30 times, and no snoring. I am also very tired. For sleep apnea you have to have at least 5 events per hour and for me it doesn't happen every hour, so I'm really not sure what this could be. If I do not meet the diagnostic criteria for sleep apnea but still have some obstruction of my airways while I sleep, which may be causing my fatigue, how do they usually treat that? How bad does it have to be to qualify for CPAP and If I don't qualify, are there other treatments they might use to help? Could it possibly be nocturnal asthma even though my pulmonary function test and methacholine challenge during the day was completely normal? Just wondering about possiblities for diagnosis and treatment if this is not severe enough to be classified as sleep apnea. Thanks
Symptoms: Wake up gasping for air chronic fatigue
Tested normal for the following: echocardiogram, chest X-ry, chest CT scan, pulmonary function test, methacholine challenge
Tested normal for the following: echocardiogram, chest X-ry, chest CT scan, pulmonary function test, methacholine challenge
Doctor : Thank you for your question. The description of your symptoms does lead us to believe that you may be experiencing sleep apnea. Sleep apnea can be caused by over relaxation of the tongue which blocks breathing while you are sleeping in a supine (on your back) position. This can lead to episodes of completely obstructed breathing, leading you to wake up fearfully gasping for air. This is commonly observed in patients that are obese, or smoke, or have a family history of sleep apnea. You have not indicated that you have consulted a sleep medicine specialist and had a sleep study performed to definitively diagnose you with sleep apnea. CPAP would be indicated for persons who have several episodes of sleep apnea throughout the night, so yours may adequately be treated with a specially designed mouth guard which will position your jaw in a manner to effectively keep your tongue from obstructing your breathing while asleep. Please consult a sleep specialist. Thank you for consulting AskTheDoctor.com

- Lisa Trifone
IFF managing director Lisa Trifone talks about her gig (a volunteer position, like all jobs at IFF), this year's lineup and the fest's new partnership with Earth House.
NUVO: In general, how do you make it all work as an organization? Are you in stable financial state? Do you get enough volunteer help?
Lisa Trifone: We're actually an all-volunteer organization; I don't even get paid to do this. We do it because it's important, and because in Indianapolis, as a world-class city, we deserve the same level of exposure to film culture as we have to fine art and music. We depend on the support of donors and sponsors to be financially stable — and we're getting there. Every year we present bigger and better events, it's an opportunity for us to prove that we're sustainable and that we're in it for the long haul. The goal is to create another thriving arts organization in Indianapolis, and it's one festival, one event at a time to try and get there. I use that word sustainability a lot, looking at organizations like Big Car, Indy Reads, People for Urban Progress and other small but quickly growing local non-profits. There's a thirst for these types of grass-roots organizations that bring something tangible to the city — whether a book store, a community center, or in our case, a film experience — and seeing the success of these organizations is a huge inspiration to keep plugging away at what we're doing, too.
NUVO: From your vantage point you see a pretty good survey of the kind of films being made any given year. Can you pick out any particular trends, styles or approaches that defined this year's submissions?
Trifone: These things are always on kind of a delay with the film festival cycle. After September 11, it took a couple years but then you started seeing all these kinds of 9/11 documentaries. Sometimes we get two great submissions that deal with the same themes, and then we have to make a tough decision to say that one film of those is the best to expose our audience to these particular issues. This year there have been a lot of stories about financial crises, especially in the documentary world. I was pleasantly surprised with the American Spectrum about where we landed, in terms of variety. People hear film festival and think of a certain type of film — low budget, amateur actors. But because filmmaking has become this amateur-friendly medium where you can find a good camera, write a tight script and knock a film out, our pool to choose from just gets better and better, because more and more people are telling their stories.
- 'The Oranges,' a 2011 TIFF premiere starring Hugh Laurie, Catherine Keener and Oliver Platt, opens Indy Film Fest July 19.
NUVO: And as far as selecting films, quality is an element, but do you try to have a spectrum of choices from across American life and throughout the world?
Trifone: Yeah, well, quality is always number one; that's never going to be compromised. We want people to go out and see a good film, so that means it's well-written, well-produced. But that doesn't always mean polished; there may well be a film that is more loosely edited or uses a familiar device, but they've created a tight enough package as a whole that the experience from start to finish is worth the price of admission.
NUVO: So you don't try to represent certain countries on a given year, for instance.
Trifone: We really don't; we don't say we have to have a film from Japan, and then go out there to find it. It's develops more as, these are the great films — and, look! — we happen to have a film from Japan. Down the road, it's my vision as a programmer to do more curating; there's all kinds of sidebar potential for different kinds of exposure — female filmmaking, films from Asia, films from Asia, retrospectives on a certain director. There's all kinds of opportunities moving forward, and I think that all plays into how we're growing as an organization, becoming more sustainable to build ourselves into a year-round staple of film in Indiana.
NUVO: You're making big use of the Earth House, where you moved your offices earlier this year.
Lisa Trifone: Yeah, we're excited to be partnering with Earth House. With our offices there now, it's been an amazing opportunity to have a venue — when your bread and butter is showing films, you need somewhere to show them. We'll start screening there on July 23 as our kind of late-night screening spot. If you take a look at the schedule, all the films that are screening at the Earth House have been at other festivals: Rubberneck was at Tribeca, Crazy Eyes at South by Southwest. You can kind of use that as an insider tip if you're looking for things that have been elsewhere and are in Indy now.
NUVO: Have you the submissions been getting better — and the quality of films — with each passing year?
Trifone: That's probably up to our audiences to say at the end of the day, but this is our ninth film festival, and every year we get more and more people saying, "Oh, yeah, I totally know you guys," and recognizing that there is this opportunity to bring their films to Indy.
NUVO: And then the icing on the cake is the opening and closing films.
Trifone: The Oranges, the opening film, was a 2011 Toronto International Film Festival selection, and it's got Hugh Laurie, Catherine Keener, Oliver Platt and all kinds of other recognizable faces. It's an under-the-radar passion project for all these recognizable faces, and that's what these actors love to do: make a really good script that does a festival run. It'll be out in the fall, but this is the first Indianapolis screening. Then we close with a film out of Austin called Somebody Up There Likes Me that's got Nick Offerman and is by a filmmaker by Bob Byington. It's quirky and funny and dry, and we're hosting a party afterwards where we'll have pizza from Hot Box and ice cream from brics, which makes total sense after you see the film.
NUVO: What else are you excited about?
Trifone: I'd like to mention our Hoosier Lens category, because we get a lot of questions about our interest and relationship to local filmmaking. It's always a balance for us: We want to promote and be a venue for all the amazing local filmmaking that's happening while bringing in all the other films from across the country and world that Indianapolis wouldn't normally see.

BobbyWasabi Goes Pro: A Teenage Portland Gamer's Quest for Glory and Riches
- Written by Tim Gillis
- Published in Features
Soccer moms load their kids in minivans, encouraging their dreams of going pro. Dads pace or squirm nervously on sidelines or in the stands. High school coaches steer young athletes toward playing sports in college or beyond.
But while competitive sports can be their own reward, those seeking big money for their efforts often do so in vain. Statistics show that very few traditional athletes that play in high school continue onto college or pro (the NCAA estimates between .9 and 9.1 percent).
Robert Wilson, a senior at Waynflete High School in Portland, is already a pro player, with a sponsor and an upcoming paid trip to Las Vegas to compete in an international competition of skill and endurance. Basketball? Nope. Football? No, he's never played.
Instead, Wilson's an eSports player.
Wilson's among the growing number of millennials who take video games to a serious, professional level. He's among those sharp enough to monetize what's often considered a mindless hobby by competing for cash before graduating.
Robert Wilson, AKA BobbyWasabi.
Wilson — or BobbyWasabi as he's known in gaming circles — recently won a tourney at the HUD Gaming Lounge in Portland, pocketing $125 in three hours. He estimates he spent 500 hours playing Super Smash Bros. to get to that level, from its Nintendo inception in 1999 on N64 to the radically improved newest version on the Nintendo WiiU. Apart from the money, the win gained him notoriety with a sponsor, Super Nova, a company that mainly offers apparel, energy pills, and some gaming news.
"They help get my name out, I help get their name out,' Wilson said. "I wear their jerseys, help advertise their merch and other teams under the Super Nova umbrella."
Ben Baker has been gaming around town since 2012, and now runs tournaments in Waterville similar to HUD's that bring gamers together to compete for moderate prizes. Baker was Super Nova's first Smash player and helped get Wilson on board. They are doubles partners now, although Baker's work schedule prevents him from the Vegas trip. He's going to Florida in June for Community Effort Orlando, another national tournament.
"Back then, I would've never thought gaming could be a career," Baker said. "It wasn't until I got more involved in fighting games that it really clicked with me that it's possible." Baker says a turning point was when he found the Maine Fighting Gamers Alliance page on Facebook. "I started getting really into Street Fighter IV , and then traveled to Calgary in 2011 for Canada Cup, a major tournament. It really started to sink in with me that it could be a career."
Super Nova is flying Wilson to Las Vegas in July for EVO 2017, a tourney which bills itself as the "world's largest fighting game event," where he will pit his Super Smash Bros. skills against the world's best gamers. For a $75 ticket (and another $48-97 ticket to participate in or watch the finals), competitors there will play on a WiiU or Nintendo GameCube decked out in game gear, sugared drinks, and junk food. Big winners will pocket thousands.
"The scene for Smash in the state has grown insanely since I joined, and even at a state level it really can be a worthwhile and profitable hobby," Baker said. "The better players with the right mindset and passion can easily take it to the next step with all these national events and such popping up."
Wilson plays as Pikachu (Pokémon) and Villager (Animal Crossing) and is considered the best in the state with these characters. Tournaments usually last anywhere between three to eight hours. Bigger tournaments like Shine and EVO span three days and attract hundreds of gamers from across the globe.
"The most unenjoyable aspect would have to be stress that comes with playing. If I'm ever in an intense match, I sometimes start to shake or get nervous that I could get knocked out of the tournament," he said. "It's a blessing and a curse though, since I find that I often play better when stakes are high."
While juggling final exams, he still gets in 30 minutes of practice daily, playing in training mode or online against gamers who challenge him on his Twitch livestream account. He does video game reviews on YouTube, and stays fresh with other games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Persona 5. Even when he's not competing, gaming is a major part of Wilson's life.
"I'm working on 100 percent completion of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and looking forward to the release of Splatoon 2 , ARMS, and Super Mario Odyssey," he says. Wilson is just a high schooler, but already making his first — albeit modest — paycheck doing what he loves.
High school sports are an essential part of the teen years, but parents and coaches who feed their children the line that their time invested in a year of sports will pay them back with college scholarships or professional jobs are often misleading.
According to Forbes magazine, the gaming industry continues to grow. As it does, those within the industry assert that more and more jobs will be available. "The economic impact of the gaming industry to the US GDP was over $11 billion in 2016, and that number is certain to grow for the foreseeable future," according to the magazine. (This figure includes those in programming and writing code — not simply professional gamers.)
One trait about eSports Wilson acknowledges is its tendency to foster an environment that is unwelcoming to women.
"It's a very male-dominated profession. This is in part due to a lot of community's sexism and discrimination towards female players and enthusiasts," Wilson says. "A lot of this plays into both the anonymity aspect of players online, as well as a long running stereotype that girls aren't that into 'real video games.'
That the gaming industry has its problems welcoming women is hardly news. The #Gamergate controversy of 2014, when a female developer was repeatedly threatened, doxed, and harassed online, exposed the deep sexism and misogyny embedded in the gaming world.
And while there's more to that story (and the political alliances behind it), Wilson and others hope the world of eSports can grow into its diversity. "The field is completely open, especially when you consider how sports are separated by men's leagues and women's leagues due to biological physicality," he says. "With eSports, that factor doesn't play a part when competing at a high level. Endurance, strong mentality, and overall skill at the game are all that matter."
As an example, Wilson says his girlfriend doesn't often play video games, yet "has a blast while playing as 'Kirby,'" an adorable ball of pink puff who was designed to be very accessible to more novice players. "The brilliance is that accessibility in Smash Bros. does not equate to hand-holding or a crutch to stand on, and that's where the true social aspect of Super Smash Bros. shines."
But securing financial dividends within the young industry is something of a gamble. While 27 million people play League of Legends each day, just 40 professionals earn salaried positions in the North American League. Players can also earn ad dollars when fans livestream their games on websites like Twitch and Azubu TV. But gamers say only a handful of players can earn enough to make a living.
Wilson wants to be one of those handfuls.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl was released two years later, and marked the first time he entered a tournament — at 13 years old, the PortCon 2012 tourney for SSB Brawl .
"I got knocked out immediately, but it was one of the first times I was exposed to a community of people who also play this game, other than my brothers (Ike and Trip) or friends from school."
Next year, Wilson is headed to Emerson College, where he can add a scholastic approach to his gaming habits. Emerson has recently started a program for eSports gamers in the Communications Department. "It's what partially attracted me there. I was also looking for journalism and communications," he said. "After seeing what they are doing with the program there solidified my decision to go."
He considered other schools — Champlain College in Burlington, Vermont, is known for its gaming design program and offers a competitive gaming community.
The takeaway of all this? There's big money out there for dedicated gamers, or big fans of the industry and its creative mechanisms. But on top of that, there are job opportunities for those looking to host gaming events like these. Production, organization, planning, coverage, commentary are also possible vocations.
"A lot of people go into game development. The gaming industry is worth more than $70 billion a year, and there aren't huge CEOs to pay that are taking most of it as a lot of those sales are in indie games and small studios," said Gabe Letourneau, founder of HUD gaming lounge, which opened in Biddeford and made the move north to Portland last year. VR and AR (augmented reality) are also growing fields and will require new creative minds to learn to program and code games and experiences for them and is sure to become a lucrative skillset in the coming years."
More eSport events would open the door to a new ripple to economies both local and national. eSports has found its home on Twitch.tv, a website dedicated to livestreams of players playing dgames either by themselves or online with viewers. eSport events are often broadcast on this site, though some major events like League of Legends , Dota 2, and Hearthstone tournaments can sometimes be found on legacy media like ESPN.
While these names may not all be familiar to the general public, Wilson's proficiency in these games is hardly esoteric. The biggest games in eSports now are League of Legends, Dota 2 , CS:GO, and Hearthstone. The biggest fighting games in eSports are the Smash Bros. suite (Super Smash Bros. [1999], Super Smash Bros. Melee [2001], Super Smash Bros. Brawl [2008], Super Smash Bros. [2014]), as well as Street Fighter, Guilty Gear , and Mortal Kombat.
Maine's eWorld was created, virtually, by Maine Competitive Gaming founders Marc Patenaude, Jordan Lovell, and Jordan Sage, whom Wilson calls "trailblazers for the gaming community in Maine."
Late last year, the guys host tournaments at Howard Johnson's in South Portland and the Maine Mall, both in collaboration with PortCon. They host doubles tournaments every other week at Arcadia National Bar, which offers Portland-area patrons arcade, console, pinball, and board games. MCG currently runs Rocket League and CSGO tournaments at HUD Gaming Lounge, and will be running a Super Smash Bros. event called "MCG Arena" in June.
Gamers going head to head in the first person shooter CS-GO.
Some of the best players in Maine can win money. The average prize pool for a monthly event can yield first placers $200. The tourneys SMCC holds every Thursday do not charge and players cannot win. Monthlies are posted Saturday night events with slightly higher stakes, turnout, and prizes.
Wilson is starting Timber Weeklies at Amigo's on Mondays, and future Timber Monthlies will be held at HoJo's in SoPo, with one planned for this Saturday, May 13. ("'Timber'" comes from a name of a move that the character "Villager" does," Wilson explained. "She or he plants a tree, grows it and then cuts it down with an axe.")
On a national scale, Wilson has an opportunity to cash in on his passion this summer. "I don't know what the prize is for EVO 2017," Wilson said. "It all depends on the turnout of the event, but the numbers have been growing every year." The prize pool last year was between $26,000 and $100,000, depending on the games. (Prizes at EVO are split between the top eight winners at a 60/20/10/4/2/2/1/1 distribution scale.)
Local eGaming merchants, too, have seen business tick up, often staying open all hours to meet client needs.
"We have seen a few players in our tournaments who could go pro — very talented gamers who blow us away whenever we see them compete," says Letourneau. "Based on our live streams, comments, and likes on our Facebook page, there are clear favorites who have tons of people rooting for them to win, by commenting and interacting with our tournaments even if they aren't playing."
And business can be good for the gamers, too.
"Just as players of football, or baseball, or basketball, etc. who are really good become professional players, people who are really good at games follow a similar path," he says. "Just as the pro traditional sports teams make money from sponsors and spectators, eSports are exactly the same, except the sponsors aren't for cars or life insurance. It's for gaming gear, computer equipment, and Doritos."

Shift Gears: Book profits in IT space and buy metals on dips
Updated: Aug 31, 2013, 03.39 PM IST
By Mazhar Mohammad
MUMBAI: In a vicious bear market, no sector shall remain untouchable for bears and continue to make new highs day in and day out. Hence IT shall participate sooner than later in this downtrend and give up some of the gains.
It is clearly visible on the charts that bulls are getting exhausted and losing momentum at least in few IT counters. Besides, the Indian rupee might have posted a major bottom at a recent low of 68.80 and heading higher.
Post monsoon session, government will get more ambush to reign in burgeoning current account deficit by increasing diesel prices. This will further irritate the bears of INR and damages the confidence of technology bulls who would eventually prefer to log out of these counters. Hence, it is prudent to book profits and park that money in metal counters which as of now are looking as if they have completed vicious downtrend and formed a major bottom.
From this perspective we have following strategy - book profits/short IT and long metals. Albeit IT counters are looking strong, as a contrarian, we prefer to book partial profits in TCS and HCL technologies and recommend aggressive traders with high risk appetite to consider shorting other counters as chosen below.
Tech Mahindra (Last close: Rs 1,373)
In the last 14 weeks this counter sharply rallied from a low of Rs 895 - 1,428 there by gaining 59 per cent. Narrow price behaviour of this counter in the last 4 trading sessions which is accompanied by negative divergence on short term charts and sell signal on momentum indicators is suggesting limited upsides and imminent price correction which shall take it back to Rs 1,266 - 1,224 kind of levels. Hence positional traders can short this counter for initial target of Rs 1,266 and higher targets of Rs 1,224 in next 2-3 weeks with a stop loss above Rs 1,428 on closing basis.
Hexaware (Last Close: Rs 128.10)
We can apply the philosophy imbibed in the market maxim - 'Buy on rumour and Sell on news' especially in this counter. This counter briskly rallied on the back of stake sale news and had been moving in a narrow range since Monday after the announcement of stake sale.
It is clearly suggesting exhaustion of bulls in the near term pointing towards correction. Beside Daily RSI is continuously displaying negative divergence. Hence we prefer to short this counter for a target of Rs 116 with a stop above Rs 130 on closing basis.
Tata Steel (Last Close: Rs 271)
Bulls are back on their feet in this low cost steel producer of the world. It appears that this counter registered a major bottom at a recent low of Rs 195 and dramatically rallied around 40 per cent in 12 trading sessions.
Hence we recommend utilising the correction in this counter to initiate fresh long positions in the zone of Rs 265 - 250 with a stop below Rs 245 on closing basis for an immediate target of Rs 291 and a higher target of Rs 320.
Hindalco (Last Close: Rs 105)
This aluminium major appears to have hit a major bottom at a recent low of Rs 83. Hence we prefer to buy this in corrections in the zone of Rs 102 - 100 with a stop below Rs 96 on closing basis for a target of Rs 110 - 112 in 1-2 weeks.
However, on a decisive breakout above its resistance level of Rs 112 this counter can target Rs 126 and Rs 137 kind of levels.
JSW Steel (Last Close: Rs 541)
This counter tested its 2011 low of Rs 462 and registered a double bottom to gain 25 per cent in a short span of 2 weeks. Interestingly long-term trend line is also placed around the same level. Any dip in this counter towards Rs 530 should be utilised to buy for a target of Rs 603 with a stop below Rs 500.
1. Prices mentioned above are from NSE Cash segment.
2. For any reason if the market tanks and your stop losses gets triggered long term investors can still buy Tata Steel and Hindalco in cash segment close to their major support levels mentioned as we believe that long term trend is reversing these two counters.

Raymond B. Daniels 1925-2009...."these Carolina Bays are merely surface features associated with the formation of the ridge"
J. Harlen Bretz 1882-1981...."Ideas without precedent are generally looked upon with disfavor and men are shocked if their conceptions of an orderly world are challenged."
Ignatius Donnelly 1831 - 1901
Immanuel Velikovsky 1895 - 1979.... Velikovsky's ideas are mostly incorrect, but Sagan has lectured that we must not attempt to supress such hypotehsis: uTube Video from COSMOS series
Alfred Lothar Wegener 1880- 1930
..... "Reaction to Wegener's theory was almost uniformly hostile, and often exceptionally harsh and scathing"..."
Harry Hammond Hess 1906 – 1969
Carl Sagan 1934 - 1996 see also COSMOS Series
Douglas Wilson Johnson 1878 - 1944
.... "No one has yet invented an explanation which will fully account for all the facts observed"
Barry Marshall "Science needs solid research, but it also needs someone with great vision. Barry had vision."- Blaser
The inspiration for this exploration was an exhibit on the enigma of the Carolina bay landforms at the North Carolina State Museum of Natural Sciences, in Raleigh, NC.
The genesis of our solution was a single paragraph in the paper The Goldsboro Ridge, an Enigma by R. B. Daniels, E. E. Gamble and W. H. Wheeler
The Goldsboro sand overlies the Sunderland Formation conformably. The contact is always abrupt but there is no evidence of deep channeling, basal coarse material, and evidence of weathering at the contact. Even the Carolina Bays do not disturb the underlying Sunderland materials (Figure 3). The sand in the bay rim is not different from the Goldsboro sand. Therefore, these Carolina Bays are merely surface features associated with the formation of the ridge.1
If it were not for Mr. Bob Kobres posting the paper on his site, we would likely not have arrived at a solution. When located, it was the only copy that seemed to be available anywhere on the web.In 1982, two British astronomers, S. V. M (Victor) Clube and William Napier, published a book entitled "The Cosmic Serpent" . The first paragraph of that book presents an engaging concept:
Clube and Napier identify the Taurid Complex as a possible source of the Saginaw impactor, perhaps early in it's million year history within the inner solar system . "The Cosmic Serpent" is a prologue to all presented here.
In this book we bring together hitherto unconnected strands in astronomy, biology and geology, and in the early history and mythology of man.
Johán Bert Kloosterman (also Han Kloosterman) (B.1931) is a geologist, and the founder publisher of Catastrophist Geology (1976-1978), the journal devoted to the study of discontinuities in Earth history. He has worked for mining companies, in West Africa and then in Brazil, mostly in alluvial prospecting for cassiterite, diamonds, gold.
"To prefer the simplest-sounding hypothesis over the best-fitting has had just as pernicious an effect in geology as in other fields of enquiry. Together with the statement to the contrary, that reality is always more complicated than we imagine, or can imagine, it gives a knife with two cutting edges in the hands of academic authorities too lazy to think.

A rule that would compel the installation of backup cameras in new vehicles sold in the United States has been delayed until 2015. US Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced the delay in a letter to Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va. In the letter, LaHood said that more analysis of the cost of the rule is necessary before a mandate could be issued. The agency had said the rule would cost $2.7 billion or up to $18 million per life saved. Prior to the most recent delay, the agency had already delayed the three times. Carmakers have complained about the rule's cost.
They also complained that while the proposed rule would apply to all vehicles, it only makes sense for larger ones. Gloria Bergquist, a spokeswoman for the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, remarked that carmakers are installing cameras in cars for greater vision and for new driver assists, noting that only consumers should decide how "best to spend their safety dollars on these technologies."
The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers includes General Motors and Toyota as its members. The backup camera rule was required by a 2008 auto-safety law that signed by President George W. Bush. It was named for a New York boy who died after his father accidentally backed over him.
Meanwhile, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is considering giving incentives in their safety ratings to vehicles installed with backup carmakers. In a Federal Register notice, the regulator asked for comments on whether it should include incentives for backup cameras in its New Car Assessment Program. [source: Bloomberg]
