Getting Back to the Basics in 2006
Dear Subscribers,
Now that Guidant has accepted Johnson & Johnson's acquisition offer of $24.2 billion, is it time to take a hard look at Boston Scientific? One of my concerns about investing in Boston Scientific had been that it may be overpaying for Guidant - and while BSX can still come back with a higher bid next week, my guess is that this is not very likely to happen. While its trailing P/E of 36 would scare any value investor away, readers should keep in mind that the calculation of this P/E consists of many non-recurring charges. The forward P/E of slightly over 13 gives investors a better picture of BSX's true valuation. Given that Boston Scientific is one of the better companies in the healthcare/medical devices field (an industry which this author likes in both the short and the long-run) - it is definitely a company to keep track of in the weeks ahead.
We switched from a 25% short position in our DJIA Timing System on the morning of October 21st at DJIA 10,265 - giving us a gain of 351 points from our DJIA short on July 14th. On a 25% basis, this equates to a gain of 87.75 points. As of Sunday, January 15th, this market is now becoming very overbought. Readers who have not gone long should refrain from entering the market at this point - especially in light of the fact that we are only two weeks away from the January 31st Fed meeting and in the beginning of earnings reporting season. Our position on the DJIA does not change from last week. Should the market continue to rally into the January 31st Fed meeting (our target is the 11,200 to 11,300 level), there is a good chance we will go 50% short in our DJIA Timing System (our maximum allowable short position) sometime in the next few weeks. Like we have mentioned before, history suggests that the stock market tends to underperform (on average) during the year after the peak in short-term interest rates compared to the year leading up to the peak in short-term interest rates. That is, if history holds true and if the Fed stops hiking right after the January 31st or the March 28th meeting, then the performance of the S&P 500 in 2006 should end up faring worse than 2005. This should not come as a surprise, as the Fed has historically tended to stop hiking only after the economy is showing signs of a slowdown. For now, we remain completely neutral in our DJIA Timing System.
One of our themes for 2006 is "getting back to the basics." In other words, all our predictive models and sentiment indicators are fine - but ultimately, our mission is not only to help our readers make outsized returns in the stock market - but to do that in the least stressful way and in to help our readers in their financial educations and to keep tabs on upcoming economic and social trends. Over the long-run, having a basic idea of where the global and U.S. economy is heading and which individual industries and stocks to invest (or to avoid) is the key to long-term success.
So what are you saying, Henry? Are you saying that you won't give us a week-to-week run-down of sentiment indicators anymore?
No, that is not the case at all. Over the last two years, our most popular sentiment indicators (such as the AAII, Investors Intelligence, and the Market Vane's Bullish Consensus) have been immensely useful in helping us navigate this range-bound market. But while these indicators (just like other overbought/oversold indicators such as the NYSE ARMS Index, the equity put/call ratio, etc.) can be very useful in timing entry points for individual stock purchases - it is essential to keep in mind that the key to long-term success in the stock market is to selectively purchase undervalued equities (whatever your metrics may be) and to hold them for the long-run. Moreover, there have been many periods in the stock market when using overbought/oversold indicators to call tops/bottoms just plainly did not work, such as during sustained bear markets and the great bull market of the late 1990s. In other words, this author is not going to kid himself - and I want to let our readers know now: There will come a time when tracking the sentiment indicators on a consistent basis will be a fruitless task.
Look - the greatest investor in the world did not make his fortune by trying to forecast where the markets are heading next year. Nor did he ever try to "outwit" the stock market by getting out of stocks ahead of everyone else just because he thought the stock market was getting overbought or because he foresaw a recession ahead of time. No, Warren Buffett did all this by sticking to the basics - by studying companies and their businesses - and buying their stocks when their share prices were undervalued or when the general market sold off. The only time he liquidated his entire portfolio was in 1969 - and that was only because he could not find any undervalued stocks to buy at that time. Sure, Buffett made other plays as well, such as equity arbitrage during the 1980s and buying junk bonds in 2002 - but those were mainly one-time plays (during those times when he actually took advantage of extreme investors' sentiment or inefficiencies in the financial markets). At the core, Buffett remains a value investor. More importantly, he also tried to make sure that all the businesses that he owns are run as efficiently and as low-cost as possible.
And this is the second part of our "getting back to the basics" theme that we want to touch on further. In other words, it is not sufficient to be a good stock-picker or good investor (note that being a good investor also means knowing which stocks or industries to avoid). It is also not sufficient to "merely" be able to pick the right career for yourself or hoping your kids will pick the right careers for themselves. Being able to do well financially in the long-run basically means that you need to have some kind or organization when it comes to running your own finances or your family's finances. A company cannot be successful if all it can do is increase its revenues without controlling its costs. Studies have shown that the profession with the least ability to retire comfortably is doctors. Now, that is definitely saying something.
Now that we have that out of the way, I want to reiterate that our mid-cycle slowdown scenario remains in play for 2006. How this will affect the S&P 500 specifically, however, I am not going to say - but it is important to keep in mind what I have previously mentioned. At this stage of the bull market, a mid-cycle slowdown will affect the most cyclical industries - along with the industries that have witnessed the most speculation. Going into 2006 and 2007, this author is bearish on (in no particular order) energy (including natural gas), homebuilding, steel, copper, precious metals, along with emerging market stocks. Remember, it is crucial to keep in mind that avoiding the worst stocks is as important (if not more important) than finding the right stocks to invest in. Such a mid-cycle slowdown may or may not lead to a general sell-off in the non-cyclical shares of the S&P 500 - stocks such as WMT, MSFT, DELL, KO, C, MCD, IBM, HPQ, AMGN, and so forth. In fact, history suggests that anytime we have a peak in short-term interest rates, industries such as financials, healthcare, and consumer discretionary tend to outperform the market significantly.
It is also important to keep in mind that some of the large cap brand names such as KO, BUD, WMT, etc., are now trading at valuations not seen in over ten years. While we may not be at an optimal buying point yet - given all the risks that I see in 2006 which I outlined in last weekend's commentary - we are definitely getting pretty close. Case in point: At the beginning of 2005, Berkshire Hathaway was sitting on $43 billion of cash - equivalent to 46% of shareholders' equity - which is historically unprecedented for Warren Buffett unless you go back to 1969 when he liquidated all his portfolio holdings and returned all the money to his shareholders. During the first three quarters of 2005, Buffett actually found some equities to buy, including a $900 million stake in WMT, a $2 billion stake in BUD, and additional stakes in Wells Fargo as well as a stake in a European liquor company called Diageo PLC. All in all, Berkshire Hathaway spent $5.7 billion on equities in the first three quarters of 2005. Should the market suffer a general sell-off sometime in 2006, then there could be a huge buying opportunity in large cap, brand name stocks.
But Henry, isn't the S&P 500 still trading at a historically high valuation as indicated by the P/E and price-to-dividend ratios? Yes, and that is why it is so important to look at specific individual stocks and asset classes. Readers who have kept track with our commentaries should know that this author is a cautious optimist at heart. While I have outlined and acknowledged the significant amount of economic risks that we should experience in 2006, I am also optimistic that any subsequent market sell-off will lead to a buying opportunity in many of the large cap, brand name stocks that I like. As I have outlined in many of our previous commentaries, not only have domestic investors been shunning U.S. large cap stocks since 2000, international investors have been doing the same as well - even as large cap stocks in Europe and most of Asia continued to rally in 2005. At the same time, equities and mutual funds held by U.S. households as a percentage of their total assets is now at a low (excluding the 2002 and early 2003 bear market bottom) not seen since the second quarter of 1995, as shown by the following chart:
Please note that as of the end of the third quarter of 2005, the percentage of household assets that are invested in equities "only" stood at 15.34% - approximately 0.9% above the 50-year historical mean of 15.43%. While this percentage could of course decline further, it is important to keep in mind that as a percentage of market capitalization, the U.S. large cap, brand name stocks have been declining on a relative basis since 2000 - relative to mid caps, small caps, and international equities in general. Moreover, much of the rise in the market in the past couple of years could be attributed to the rise in cyclical stocks such as energy, steel, and precious metals. Case in point: Six of the top ten best-performing stocks in the S&P during 2005 are in the energy sector. Bottom line: Unless investors believe U.S. households are entering a prolonged period of balance sheet recession, any general market sell-off this year could lead to a huge buying opportunity for some of the large cap, brand name companies.
And while the expected decline in mortgage equity withdrawal could be significant (as I have discussed in our January 2nd ad hoc commentary), it is important to keep in mind that while a significant amount of mortgage equity withdrawal have directly gone into consumer spending over the last few years (as much as one-half to two-thirds), general consumer credit growth over the same period had also declined significantly - as exemplified by the following monthly chart showing the annualized growth of consumer credit (both on a revolving and non-revolving basis) from January 1989 to November 2005:
More importantly, it should be noted that consumer credit growth has been less than nominal GDP growth since the middle of 2002. This has two immediate implications:
A significant number of households have been using their mortgage equity withdrawals to pay down their debts - especially debts that have historically had the highest carrying costs (e.g. revolving debt such as credit card debt).
Given that 70% of American households did not experience a boom in housing prices and given that 30% of households still do not own their own homes, this lackluster growth in consumer credit suggests that many households have been "saving for a rainy day" in the aftermath of the March to November 2001 recession and the stock market crash of March 2000 to October 2002.
In other words, any upcoming decline in Mortgage Equity Withdrawal on GDP growth may be muted simply because U.S. households - in recent years - have improved their balance sheets and should subsequently have a better ability to take on debt in order to support consumer spending going forward. This is a major reason why this author is only calling for a mid-cycle slowdown sometime in 2006; and not a major recession.
But Henry, isn't the savings rate in negative territory right now?
Good catch; but as always, what you see in economic statistics is not usually what you get. According to the Federal Reserve's Flow of Funds data, U.S. households' net worth has continued to grow, and is now at a level much higher than it was at the previous peak in 2000. Moreover, Americans contributed approximately $650 billion into savings products in 2005. Money market assets also grew from $4.9 trillion to $5.3 trillion in the same year. And all this in the face of historically high oil and natural gas prices!

Modena, Italy (PressExposure) July 14, 2008 -- With onset of industrialization in laundry system, the need for mass production with less labor at low cost to compete with other production unit has become mandatory. Now all the people have to switch to fully automated laundry systems. Montanari Engineering Constructions SRL, a pioneer in designing and building manual and automatic systems for industrial laundries has come out with a innovative solution for industrial laundry system.
For the Industrial Laundry sector, Montanari SRL provides automated solution through:
Laundry sorting and counting stations
These tools assist the laundry in the process of sorting and counting incoming linen from its clients, both before and after the washing cycle. There are two different versions of the piece counter that can be installed, which depend on the work mode: manual or automatic. Their modern Sorting systems for laundries have helped to reduce the time consumed into half. Through their Counting systems for laundries they captured a bigger market share.
Gravity-operated overhead storage systems
In Industrial laundry systems, the Overhead System is the linen storing and handling system that optimizes space management in laundries by aerial store of goods. It offers a range of solutions that encompass all the various phases of linen handling encountered in a laundry:
* Primary overhead system
* Secondary overhead system
Tertiary overhead system (Logistics)
Transfer shuttles between ironing press, dryer and a variety of laundry solutions. Tertiary overhead systems is used for the transportation of clean linen, which features electronic management. The clean linen is carried on conveyor belts straight out of the washing machine and into the sacks, and then taken to the upper level of the gravity-operated overhead system, without the intervention of operators.
Some other process in laundry system:
* Belt conveyors for outgoing linen from dryers
* Automatic linen packing lines
* Manual and automatic linen warehousing units
Customized management software
By controlling the flow of information at all levels, the software solutions allow clients to maintain constant control of their systems and provides them with real-time indicators of the profitability of the various work cycles.

They also provide some special varieties of aerial storage for laundry with hi-tech features. The company provides both automatic and manual goods handling systems which speed up product sorting throughout the various processes performed within the company: from checking in the goods, through the various production phases, to - at the end of the processing - storage and dispatch.
The handling systems include:
* Belt conveyors
* Roller conveyors
* Chain conveyors
* Slat conveyors
* Telescopic conveyors
Pneumatic conveyance: This conveyor system works by transferring substantial amounts of air through a rigid piping circuit The "VOLO" system is particularly recommended in situations where either space is limited or time is so short that traditional methods (with trolleys, elevator hoists or belt conveyors) are inadvisable. The loading station can be designed with fixed suction points or a collection hopper.

Weekly Updates
My thoughts on the new health care bill
Friends -
This week House Republican leaders unveiled the American Health Care Act, legislation that repeals and replaces the Affordable Care Act (ACA), or Obamacare.
In my view, the ACA has fallen well short of its own stated goals to expand choices, increase access to care, and reduce costs. That is why I voted to repeal all or parts of it numerous times. All across the country insurance providers are leaving the ACA-created exchanges, resulting in less choice and higher costs. In Virginia, premium rates may increase as much as 16 percent, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
It is clear that we can do better. And we can do better by putting the patient and health care provider - not the government - at the center of our health care system.
You can read the full text of the American Health Care Act here.
So where do we go from here?
Next, the committees with jurisdiction over health care issues - mainly Ways and Means and Energy and Commerce - will begin "marking up" or amending the legislation. This process is already underway.
Eventually a bill or bills will come to the House floor for a vote. But before we get to that point, I will be evaluating this legislation in the days ahead to determine if it will be good for Virginians. I will apply to the bill my five principles for replacing the Affordable Care Act to determine if it will win my support. I've listed them below.
1) All Virginians should be able to purchase health insurance coverage.
2) Choice and access must be prioritized and maintained.
3) We need to get serious about reducing health care costs.
4) Medicare and Medicaid must be protected and preserved.
5) We need to create a system that empowers individuals and the private sector, not one that grows government.
My initial thoughts are that while this bill contains some provisions I support, I do have deep concerns about the lack of details on how many people will be covered under this legislation and what the overall costs will be.
One thing that is very important to me is that I continue to hear from you about the ACA repeal and replace plan. You can send your thoughts to me by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com
This is a topic I expect to address in upcoming telephone town hall meetings, and so if you would like to receive a call to join the next one, click here. I also hope you'll take a moment to sign up for my weekly email updates, which will contain news on this and other topics highlighting my work on your behalf.
I look forward to hearing from you, and it's an honor to serve you and Virginia's First District in the People's House.

Maurice Maeterlinck has been called the 'prodigal father' of modern theatre. As Rilke put it, he shifted theatre's center of gravity, replacing action with inaction, events with the eventless, and dialogue with an expressive semantics of silence. This study, the first in over a decade, traces the development of Maeterlinck's dramatic vision of extraordinary originality and depth.
Patrick McGuiness's strongly argued and extremely persuasive book, Maurice Maeterlinck and the Making of Modern Theatre, follows on from the example of recent scholars, the most distinguished and influential being Katharine Worth, who have traced a line of descent from Maeterlinck via Yeats to Beckett, but McGuiness shifts the emphasis from Maeterlinck, the suggestive exemplar, to Maeterlicnk, the serious theoretician.

REVIEW: Walther LGV Competition Ultra Air Rifle
What do you think about this video?
Cathy Cart: Shooting an animal for fun is a sin. God will punish you.
stephen hanson: yes a very nice rifle I had the walther centuary in 177 and it was a pig big recoil a trigger that get more and more heavy even after been reset 10 shots later it was to heavy nearly 5lbs pull got rid of and I have a pcp rm8 and its shoots so much better
justliketolook: Is the barrel the walther match grade barrel .You say super accurate but you don't say match grade .
Alexandre Costa: very nice nigel
Electronicdawg: American version of this rifle is a paltry 700fps, My crosman nitro Venom .22 is 950fps and it comes scoped only $149 at walmart v/s $579 for the lgv. LGV has a spring that wears out, the Venom does not. I can keep the nitro piston roostered for a year in my closet and it will not affect its performance. Try that with a spring piston, I'd give it 3 days before the spring will be ruined. What I do like about this rifle is the recoil, or lack of it, but I think the lack of power could account for the lack of recoil in the LGV. Just my 2 cents
Electronicdawg: Same price as my Benjamin Marauder .25 PCP. Witch one do you think I'd rather own?
Robert Fletcher: All out there looking for a hunting pellet rifle and a target rifle. The brorooster .22 s6 cant be beat for hunting. It is lightweight and simple to pump up and use. You will get about 50 shots with one pump up. For target practice i use the walther lever action 177. Replace the 88g with a proton 3x.cylinder. you will get about 50 good shots with the proton. Dont pump the cylinder over 100 bar for the walther. The walther is the closest thing you will get to a real rimfire rifle
It is a pleasure to use robert fletcher. firstname.lastname@example.com
RILEY2K6: anybody hear of a new british company impact airguns wouldnt mind seeing some reviews of some of their guns
peter chessell: I despatched it with a nicely placed headshot..........wot a wangka.
David waspKL: 16 joules is a freaking crapt!!
Jürgen Truu: How much fps?
Nathan Brown: Twat
CptChunk 54: Great review thanks guys. I've just ordered the Challenger model in .177.should have it in a week.Can't wait !
Age of PC: Can you do norica spider? Please :)
aoad gamet aoasd: i have thes gun
Handsomeshooter1: At a guess 265ish meters per sec. However you could always convert the listed feet per second into the correct meters per sec. I believe there is ABOUT A THOUSAND WEBSITES that can do this for you. Good luck.
Handsomeshooter1: With a silencer the LGV shoots and sounds just like a PCP, if you don't believe me give it a go..fantastic!!! Waiting to see the LGV appear on the world stage as it was released too late for last year,the springer comes of age at the hands of the company that changed the game years ago with the original...LGV!
JosuéVoitena: How many METERS PER SECOND that gun shoots? METERS PER SECOND, not FEET PER SECOND!!!!!!!!
Olivier van Weede: could you please review the walther 1250 dominator?
Heiner Ußner: Wieder einmal eine klasse Test von euch. auch wenn ich generell keine Knicker mag, ist diese LG vielleicht doch mal eine Option. Weiter so Jungs ^^
Schools: Learn how to get phlebotomy training in California! The job pays decent money for the amount of schools needed to graduate.

How Much Restructuring did the Transition Countries Experience? Evidence from Quality of their Exports
The increase in exports to market economies is a good sign, but it is not conclusive about the extent of restructuring of production technologies experienced in transition countries. This paper explores the source of the increase with an analysis of their exports??? quality, interprets the results for the extent of restructuring, and discusses the potential factors behind them. Changes in factor intensity and unit values of both CEEC and CIS exports in different manufacturing sectors during 1992-1999 are analyzed. Although CEEC are in a significantly better position than CIS due to Europe Agreements, there is still large number of products with structural problems in CEEC. Insufficient FDI, the OPT in the Europe Agreements, and not fully exploited human capital are suggested as possible factors.

Nonprofit Web Theme and Mobile Theme
The RELIEF Foundation is rebuilding its website. This is all volunteer based and we have run into some issues that I hope you all can help. http://www.therelieffoundation.com/homepage The homepage is still under construction but all additional pages are up and running.
We are currently running on the King Size Theme. Excellent theme but on mobile the menu bar resizes when trying to zoom in. King Size does not intent to make the theme mobile friendly so we have decided to try and create a mobile version to compensate. By using the WordPress Mobile Pack we can select a different theme for the mobile version (aka instead of king size we can use twenty ten theme) Only problem is that we lose alot of functionality. Is there a way to edit the twenty ten theme separate from the king size theme? If anyone would like to see the twenty ten theme in action on mobile just let me know and I will switch it over for a designated time period.
Thank you for your time and help!

Motor Trend announced its winners for the car, truck and SUV of the 2016 model year in the lead up to the L.A. Auto Show on Monday. Top honors went to the Chevy Camaro, Chevy Colorado and Volvo XC90.
The redesigned Chevrolet Camaro topped a field of 15 cars that had been significantly updated or all new for 2016.
Motor Trend praised the sixth-generation Camaro for its "sharp" interior and cutting-edge technology, including Apple CarPlay and 4G Wi-Fi, as well as new high-tech engine options. The 2016 Camaro is powered with either a turbocharged four cylinder that makes 275 horsepower, a 335-horsepower V6 or a 455-horsepower V8. The Camaro beat out the BMW 7 Series, Honda Civic, Mazda MX-5 Miata and Toyota Mirai, among others.
The Chevrolet Colorado won Motor Trend's Truck of the Year for the second year in a row.
Following a week of on- and off-road tests, Motor Trend judges praised the midsize truck for its "effortless performance in every towing, payload and driving test Motor Trend's judges threw its way." The judges singled out the Colorado's new-for-2016 2.8-liter inline four-cylinder Duramax diesel for its best-in-class towing capacity of 7,700 pounds and fuel economy of 31 mpg highway.
The Volvo XC90 claimed the top spot for SUV of the year in a crowded field of 16 cars. Motor Trend's judges were wowed by the SUV's "stunning" design both inside and out, its high-tech entertainment and safety systems, and gas and plug-in hybrid powertrains that were both powerful and fuel efficient.
All winners were judged by a panel of nine Motor Trend judges using six criteria, including advancement in design, engineering excellence, safety, efficiency, value and performance of intended function. Tests were conducted at the Hyundai California Proving Grounds and in real-world loops conducted over hundreds of miles.

Wednesday, 11 January 2017 | The vehicular attack on Sunday in which four soldiers were killed in East Talpiot is the continuation of a wave of isolated, spontaneous or partially planned terrorist attacks that began in that same border neighborhood in Jerusalem—the rock throwing that led to the death of 64-year-old Alexander Levlovich in September 2015.
The security services term this "popular terrorism." Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas prefers the whitewashed term "popular opposition." This allows him, in his public speeches, to call on Palestinians to refrain from using firearms and at the same time legitimize—and even encourage—throwing stones and Molotov cocktails and vehicular attacks in which many Israelis are also killed and wounded.
The "popular resistance" serves Abbas and Saeb Erekat well and carries out its purpose: It reinforces the Palestinian issue in the consciousness of the international media and helps the Palestinian "political intifada" strategy as it creates a sense of urgency on the international scene.
Against this background, it's important to lay out three facts that aid our understanding of the timing and method of the terrorist attack on Sunday:
1. Last weekend, the Palestinian Authority [PA] executed a media blitz against the relocation of the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The campaign was designed to discourage US President-elect Donald Trump whose people have already begun checking out the technical details.
Abbas made a preemptive strike. He instructed Palestinian preachers, in their sermons last Friday in mosques, to upgrade the transfer of the American embassy to Jerusalem from a political matter to a religious principle that Muslims from all over the world are commanded to resist, meaning that it's grounds for jihad.
And that's not all—Abbas himself and Saeb Erekat spoke publicly and threatened a violent explosion if Trump's intentions are realized and even received substantial assistance from American Secretary of State Kerry who was interviewed by CBS on Friday and warned of "an absolute explosion in the region" if the embassy were moved. A Jordanian governmental minister added his own threats.
Since the truck driver was killed, it will be hard to know for certain if the incitement initiated by Abbas was the direct motive for the terrorist attack, but it is absolutely possible to conclude that it created the inspiration and determined the timing.
2. The vehicular attack in Berlin before Christmas and the one in Nice on last Bastille Day apparently created a model to imitate in the minds of fanatic Muslims. Netanyahu confirmed this and said that the terrorist was a supporter of ISIS according to all the signs.
A heavy truck is an available and deadly means that doesn't require special preparation. In Israel, as in Europe, many drivers of such heavy trucks are Muslims, some of them extremely devoted in their faith, but so long as they haven't committed any crimes, they enjoy freedom of action. They have complete access to their victims. Even if a police checkpoint had stopped the truck driver on Sunday in Jerusalem, he would probably have been allowed to continue on his way.
3. The neighborhood of East Talpiot, on the Jerusalem seam of the Green line, is a dangerous place. This fact must be taken into account when planning visits or events in the area. Explanations about the incredible view and the surroundings could be given instead for a place that is not so easily accessible via major transport routes.
This is true not only about the promenade in East Talpiot but also about other places at a sensitive time. We can reduce the damage of spontaneous "attacks of inspiration" by deterrence, but also with proper risk assessment and management.
The initial investigation by the commanders of the Officers' Training School and that of the investigators at the site indicate that the cadets acted precisely as would be expected of them. This can be seen in the number of bullets that pierced the truck's windshield. If all the cadets there had fired, the mass of bullets would have created mass carnage.

buyout saga comes to an end, but before that, there's a few more chapters to write. GameDaily reprints the analyst extraordinaire's latest commentary where he envisions EA will increase its bid by a "modest amount" and attempt a "friendly deal." Pachter surmises Take-Two will reject the offer, especially after it recently talked about working the Wall Street corner for other opportunities.
Pachter expects EA wants this deal done before this holiday, but that Take-Two management has an incentive to wait until after April 1, 2009, due to some stock finagling (remember, in the end, this is all about money). When all is said and done, though, Pachter believes EA will acquire Take-Two. He expects once EA walks away from the table after the next rejection, and it proves there are no other bidders salivating for Take-Two, that all parties will meet again and work something out.

Arguably one of the greatest authors of Fantasy Fiction there is is J.R.R. Tolkien, who has quiet a lot to say about Fantasy itself and the way it is viewed as escapism.
One thing he does not agree with when Fantasy and Escapism are discussed is the sense of pity and scorn that comes with the term escape and the misuse of this word, as well as the misuse of the "real world" phrase that often is paired with a discussion of fairy worlds. Tolkien often closely links "escapism" and consolation.
"But there are also other and more profound "escapisms" that have always appeared in fairytale and legend. There are other things more grim and terrible to fly from than the noise,stench,ruthlessness, and extravagance of the internal combustion engine.
There are hunger,thirst,poverty, pain, sorrow, injustice, death. And even when men are not facing hard thing such as these, there are ancient limitations from which fairy-stories offer a sort of escape, and
old ambitions and desires (touching the very roots of fantasy) to which they offer a kind of satisfaction and consolation."
-J.R.R. Tolkien, "On Fairy Stories"

Mouse Middle Button changed it's "show open windows" function
I do not know why or how, but my mouse's middle button changed the way it opens the current opened windows:
instead of opening in an all screen pane, with all the windows which are opened disposed along the pane, it shows the "alt+tab" system.
I would like to know how do i get the all screen pane again, i like it a lot more.
I hope i've been clear enough.
Can someone assist me? Thanks.

Hello Tomas, and welcome to Seven Forums.
What is the brand and model of your mouse? If we know which one you have, then someone with the same one will be able to help better.
For now, click on the Mouse icon in the Control Panel (icons view) to see if you may have a Settings type tab like in the screenshot below. This will vary depening on what brand you have, and if you installed the mouse's drivers/software.
I have a Logitech mouse, so I get this when I click on my SetPoint Settings tab. From here, I can change what the middle button function will be. This is brand specific though.
Hope this helps for now,

I still couldn't solve the problem. My mouse is a microsoft wireless mobile 3500 (i know, it sucks).
The settings for the buttons actions doesn't offer much of a choice, so i'm really thinking that i won't have much choice but to accept this suddent change.

Are you using a Aero theme?
In addition, double check the items in the red Warning box at the top of the tutorial below to make sure that you meet Aero requirements for Flip 3D to work. If not, then it would switch to Alt+Tab mode instead of Flip 3D.

Yes, I am. And my computer has all the capacity needed for the flip 3D.
Though it's still something that im after.
I couldn't type the right words on Google so that was the closet I could get.
Something like that used to show when i clicked the mouse middle button (wheel button), though now it just gives me alt+tab program change.
Hope this is could get clearer ^_^'
|My System Specs

I'm not sure what may have caused this for you, but you could do a system restore using a restore point dated before the middle button action changed on your to undo it and hopefully fix it for you.

Well, I figured it out!
Didn't need to restore the PC, thankfully, but i did need to test all the possible mid button click options (and it was pretty much the last one).

This thing was really bothering me out. Thanks a lot again!

Two long-serving teachers at a Jewish day school in South Jersey are the first recipients of an annual award for excellence in education established by Eric Fraint, President and Founder of Your Part-Time Controller, and his wife, Kathie.
The Herman Fraint Memorial Award for Jewish Day School Teaching Excellence was established to honor Eric's late father and to carry forward his lifelong love of Judaism and respect for teachers. The award offers a $1,000 prize to each of two educators who exhibit teaching excellence in secular and Jewish studies.
The first two teachers to be recognized are Ellen Barmach, for secular education, and Ayala Varadi, for Jewish education, at Kellman Brown Academy in Voorhees, NJ.
Barmach, a middle school teacher, has taught world history, Jewish history and American government at Kellman Brown for 25 years, where she taught all three of Eric and Kathie's children. Varadi, a native Israeli, has taught for nine years and currently teaches Hebrew and Jewish studies to third- and fifth-graders.
Although Barmach and Varadi are being recognized for their individual pedagogy, each is quick to point out that the environment of the entire academy is conducive to quality education.
"We have an excellent faculty and any one of us could have received this," said Barmach. "To be so honored honors everyone on the faculty." Varadi echoed this sentiment. "We're all very close to each other, which makes teaching here rewarding and fun. I come from Israel, and to be recognized in America is a way to spread the love of Hebrew and of Israel," she said.
Eric and Kathie Fraint established the award as the best way to honor Herman Fraint's memory by donating to a cause that combines a love of Judaism with a commitment to education. The choice of the recipient school was a natural: Eric and Kathie's three children Ellen, Aaron and Jacob all attended Kellman Brown, and Eric serves on its Board of Trustees. The award is housed in a charitable fund managed by The Philadelphia Foundation.
"He was an avid reader, and would read the newspaper every day from
cover to cover. I don't know that I really appreciated how much he knew
until I went to college," he said. "I would come home from school and
try to impress my father with things I had learned about business and
the world, and he always knew more than me!" Herman Fraint passed away
in February, 1990, at the age of 68.
Established in 1958, Kellman Brown Academy is an accredited member of the Solomon Schechter Day School Association,
a voluntary association of Jewish day schools in 19 states and two
Canadian provinces. Offering secular and Jewish education and programs
to nearly 200 youth from nursery through 8th grade, the school is
founded upon the principles of integrated general and Judaic studies,
teaching Jewish values, and developing leadership skills in a
challenging and supportive environment.
The dual curriculum's goal is to
produce well educated ethical individuals who will enjoy success in
future study and who become valuable contributors to the American and
Jewish communities. The curriculum and religious practices are a product
of Conservative ideology, in which Judaism is studied in its historical
perspective and is viewed as a living religious and cultural heritage.
Students are taught the major features of American civilization and
Western culture, to foster pride in the United States, and to actively
promote its welfare. The Hebrew language is seen as both a second
language and an essential key to open the door to Jewish culture and
The awards were presented at the school's annual tribute dinner on May 6, 2010.

Pray and protest
Christian Solidarity Worldwide are telling us that an Iranian Christian minister: Pastor Yousef Nadarkhani is facing a death sentence for apostasy. How he could have been arrested for abandoning Islam when he has never been a Muslim in the first place, reveals the injustice of this case. Can you imagine how desperate this must be for him and his family? He is a Christian and is refusing to renounce his faith to spare his life. He is married with two children. Can you even begin to imagine some of the emotions that they are going through. He has been awaiting a final decision on the verdict of his execution for several months now but it is felt now that death by hanging could be imminent.
We can pass on the news of this through social media so that more and more people write to the Iranian judge involved. We can also pray protection for the pastor and his family.
Pray and send messages to Iran's Chief Justice Mr Sadegh Larijan at http://e-activist.com/ea-action/action?ea.client.id=88&ea.campaign.id=13092
There is a facebook page for people discussing their actions and prayers here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/nadarkhani
Here are CSW's prayer pointers
For God to stay the hand and change the hearts of the Iranian judiciary, that they would reconsider the death sentence handed down.
That the international community would swiftly take decisive and effective action on behalf of Pastor Nadarkhani.
That God would uphold Pastor Nadarkhani.
For peace, strength and comfort for Pastor Nadarkhani's family.
For wisdom and eloquencefor Pastor Nadarkhani's lawyer who is also facing legal difficulties.
That God would comfort members of Pastor Nadarkhani's church and denomination.
That Iranian Christians would not be bound by fear and would keep their eyes fixed firmly on God.
Ordained Anglican. Thinking out loud about church.

Winter might be coming, but things are certainly starting to heat up for Game of Thrones. It seems like every day we get a brand new behind the scenes video. Last time we heard about how the books were adapted for the show, and now we've been officially invited to the set. Check out the new behind the scenes video below:
(via Game Of Thrones Youtube)
Readers of George R.R. Martin's A Storm of Swords, from which part of Season 3 is based, will no doubt recognize some exciting forthcoming scenes. We get to see, for the first time, The Unsullied in action, while 's allusions to bold scenes, and 's claim that "we kill a lot of characters" can only refer to one specific scene, right? We all know what one it is...
Game Of Thrones returns to HBO March 31. We've been getting a lot of Game Of Throne goodies recently, so make sure to [[follow]] the series to get them just as soon as we do.

This is what she had so say:
I first came across The Septembers of Shiraz by Dalia Sofer last year, and as I read it, I was incredibly moved by the story. The Septembers of Shiraz begins with the arrest of Isaac Amin, a Jewish businessman in Tehran, and goes on to trace the intersecting narratives of Isaac and the members of his family in the aftermath of his arrest. Throughout the novel, the interwoven voices of Isaac, his wife, son, and daughter, create a powerful and layered portrait of the family and this experience. I was fascinated by the way Sofer described a particular aspect of the Iranian Revolution and explored the dynamics of a Jewish community I knew little about. But perhaps what struck me most in reading the novel was the deep emotional connection I felt with Sofer's characters and their story. On the precipice of exile and loss, the voices of the Amin family truly seem to convey the turmoil of change and the power of memory.
I encountered The Septembers of Shiraz again rather unexpectedly. As a graduate student, I recently attended a lecture on women writers and material culture. The lecturer, a professor of anthropology, used The Septembers of Shiraz as the centerpiece of her talk. She read the novel through the lens of material culture, using her own research on the Iranian Jewish community to explore the hidden context and significance of the objects Sofer describes. She argues that material objects, such as a teapot or a ring, play a determining role in how the characters conceptualize their self-identity, their memories, their relationship to others, and their connection to Iran. Throughout the lecture, the professor analyzed the experiences and characters I had found so poignant in an entirely new way, making me appreciate the complexities of The Septembers of Shiraz even more.

Just eat it. Amid all the operas, chamber concerts, and one-man shows featuring a transvestite singing the songs of Tiny Tim and David Bowie, we tend to forget that Spoleto features a fair number of kid-friendly events, like How to Eat Like a Child, a light-hearted and music-filled romp.
For the dogs. Surely, your child at one time or another has gotten down on their hands and knees and barked like a dog. But are they doing it correctly? Thanks to the student actors at the Charleston Action Studio they'll soon know how to do it right. Oh, and they'll be taught a host of other more important lessons as well, like how to ride in the car, and some not so good, like how to stay home from school.
A class act. As any parent who has been forced to take their kid to the latest animated flick can attest, the vast majority of kiddie-oriented entertainment is pure tripe. But you can rest assured that How to Eat isn't; after all, the folks behind the Charleston Acting Studio are the same men and women that put out one quality production after another (See, Proof and Short Attn Span Thtr).

Missing EgyptAir flight MS804 and four other plane disasters in five years
A PLANE carrying 66 passengers is missing – the fourth major air disaster in recent history. Take a look back at the most puzzling air tragedies in recent times.
Flight MS804, en route from Paris Charles de Gaulle to Cairo, made no distress signal to air control before it disappeared from radar at 2.45am local time (12.45am GMT).
The plane, an Airbus A320, left Paris at 11.09pm on Wednesday night (9.09pm GMT).
It was carrying 66 passengers including a Briton and several children.
The incident has sent a chill down the spine of the international community who recently witnessed similar mysteries like Malaysian Airlines MH17, MH370, Germanwings 9525 and Metrojet 9268.
MH370 Malaysia Airlines
Missing MH370 vanished with 239 people on board on March 8 2014.
The fate of the plane, its passengers and crew remains one of world's biggest unsolved mysteries.
Reported wreckage of the Boeing 777 was spotted in the Reunion Islands, South Africa and Mauritius. But an investigation is ongoing.
MH17 Malaysia Airlines
Just four months later nearly 300 were killed – including nine Brits – after a MH17 Malaysia Airlines passenger plunged to the earth's surface in a horror smash.
The plane - the same model as the MH370 – disappeared from the radar on July 11 2014.
It was claimed that pro-Russian militants downed the jet as it flew over eastern Ukraine – something Russia's government has vehemently denied.
Germanwings Flight 9525
Another Airbus A320 was the centre of controversy after a passenger jet carrying 150 smashed into the Alps in March 2015 after a constant descent following a routine check-in with air control just a minute beforehand.
Later, suicide notes were discovered in the home of the co-pilot Andreas Lubitz who is believed to have deliberately aimed for the mountainside.
Metrojet 9268
And a Metrojet flight 9268 was downed in November last year as hundreds travelled from winter sun holidays in popular tourist hotspot Sharm el-Sheikh in October 2015.
Mariva Ivleva, 15, was on of the 233 returning from holiday when they were killed as their passenger jet burst into flames and fell from the sky.
ISIS claimed responsibility for the fatal blast but investigators have yet to confirm who was behind the tragedy.
It was an Airbus A320.

Event report
Conference 2013 - Diversifying Your Writing Career - Panel
Report published 01 August 2013
Diversifying Your Writing Career - Panel with Julie Cohen, Rowan Coleman, Miranda Dickinson, Kate Harrison, Tamsyn Murray and Cally Taylor
The panel was made up of six writers who, between them, write children's fiction, young adult, romantic comedy, mainstream women's fiction, psychological thrillers, non-fiction and robot erotica, as well as teaching writing and mentoring new writers.
Here are just a few of the main points:
• Teaching writing develops your own writing. Rowan Coleman commented that teaching encouraged her to audit her own craft.
• Writing in new genres can reignite your passion for writing. Miranda Dickinson talked about rediscovering why she "loved writing in the first place" by writing for her own amusement, while Julie Cohen described recapturing her "writing mojo."
• Take risks. Cally Taylor took a risk to write a psychological suspense novel after having two chicklit stories published, and saw the risk pay off.
• Self-publishing and digital publishing provide new opportunities. You can publish more quickly, publish independently, publish shorter work, and also work outside your normal genre. Tamsyn Murray described the experience of self-publishing as "seductive."
• We all have skills we don't recognise or use that could lead to opportunities. It's important to recognise those opportunities when they come along. Kate Harrison, who has published four books this year across fiction and non-fiction, summed this up: "Stay open to what might happen."

- Source: eBay
Offered is a reproduction of an Italian poster promoting travel to Rome and Mercato di Traiano. Probably 1930's.
It is printed in the original proportions of the graphic onto HP Heavy Weight Coated Matte Finish inkjet paper (C6569C) using HP Vivera pigmented inks (HP claims fade resistance for up to 200 years).SIZE: These old vintage graphics have non-standard proportions and so we center the image on standard size 18 x 24 inch print stock so that an off the shelf ready frame can be used. There is at least one inch of white border all around the art. The default size for my eBay store is 18 x 24 , but if you ask we can also do a 16 x 20 size for the same Buy It Now price. REQUESTS FOR CUSTOM SIZES - Most of my images can be printed at any size up to 42" in width by whatever necessary length. Call John at or see our gallery Great Graphics Charlottesville anytime to discuss your needs. SHIPPING DISCOUNTS - Generally, shipping an additional item in the same tube adds $1 to the forwarding costs. It is easiest to let me send an invoice with the adjusted totals, before you pay . INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS: Effective 1/28/13 the US Postal System raised the price for shipping via USPS International First Class by about 80%. Unfortunately, it still remains the least expensive way to send a poster tube ... read more

Bethlehem: siege enters fifth week
There was no change last night as the siege in Bethlehem entered its fifth week. On Saturday, Fr Raed Abusahlia, from the Latin Patriarchate, had expressed hope that the people trapped in the Church of the Nativity would be freed in time for the Orthodox Easter Sunday. Instead the day was marked by more violence as a Palestinian woman and two children were killed by Israeli soldiers near Jenin. An Israeli military source said troops opened fire after a bomb was detonated near an armoured vehicle. The Israelis apologised for the incident and regretted the loss of life. On Sunday, the Papal envoy Cardinal Roger Etchegaray, who is taking part in negotiations for the release of those trapped in Bethlehem, celebrated a Mass for Peace at the Cathedral of the Latin Patriarchate in Jerusalem. Peace activists who managed to slip through the Israeli security cordon around the Church of the Nativity, have said conditions inside the compound are desperate. Alistair Hillman, 30, from Porthcawl in Wales told BBC Wales, there were around 180 people inside the church, 150 of whom were Palestinian. Most of them are unarmed civilians and he said he thought none were militant. Many were very weak, living on a diet of pasta stew and lemon leaves. He said: "We have a couple of people who are injured and need more treatment than we can give." Alistair said the Orthodox section of the church has suffered heavy damage in the crossfire, with windows blown out. The ancient frescoes were ridden with bullet holes, he added. Alistair said the mood inside the building was still "hopeful."

Homicides in Manchu Banners. A Research Based on the First Historical Archives in Beijing
Qing Dynasty was the last dynasty in Chinese history. Manchus originally were riders from the deep forest in the North-East of China, who conquered and controlled territories as large as Europe for almost 300 years. Manchu people were grouped in "banners", which were crucial as military force for conquest and and long-term duration of the Qing Empire, hence privileges that identified Banner people from the common Chinese population. Banner people indeed included various ethnic minorities, not only ethnic Manchus, but also Mongolians, Koreans, Russians, Tibetans and even some Europeans, garrisoned in Beijing and some of the 18 provinces. They were different from the surrounding Chinese population by their language, their dress, and other cultural traits, and all of them tended to be designed indistinctly as "Banner people" with time. As professional soldiers with hereditary status, they were not authorized, by principle, to exert any other activity than soldiery, which became a cause of gradual pauperization for most of them. But in social status, the banner people were special no matter they were wealthy or not. Although Manchu rulers repeatedly claimed that "Banner people and Chinese people were equal ", their special status consistently raised the issue this research project is intended to examine: Did Banner people enjoy significant privileges in Qing law? This project will focus on more than 2500 cases of homicides of which either the perpetrator or the victim was a Bannerman. I collected these cases in the archives of the Board of Punishment (Xingbu), which has been recently opened in the First Historical Archives in Beijing. The archive I am using are written in Chinese and Manchu, two languages I am able to read, which allows to compare different versions and points of view. Thanks to my position as a researcher in the Manchu Language institute of Beijing Academy of Sciences, I could manage a special access to documents and to obtain scans of them (see detail below). Combining statistics with historical analysis, I intend to develop a "banner people homicide cases database," which will document three questions: 1. What did so-called "Banner legal privileges" exactly consisted of, and what was their influence on judicial decisions? 2. What were the main causes of conflict between Banner people and Chinese commoners? 3. How did Chinese traditional law deal with ethnic identities?
DR.Guan Xiaojing is currently a research fellow at the Manchu Study Institution, Beijing Academy of Social Sciences. She received her Ph.D. from Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in History. Guan put her major research interests in the Manchu history, culture and the Bannerman society in Qing Dynasty, with the diversion topics : Religionship of the Bammerman, temple inscriptions in Manchu language, Manchu-Han relationship in garrison eight-banner cities in Qing dynasty, etc.. Her recent publications are : The Temple Inscriptions in Manchu Language in Early Qing Dynasty Beijing (2014), The God System and Characteristic of Temples in Garrision Eight-Banner Cities (2014), The Ancestor Temple of Bannerman in Qing Dynasty Beijing .(2013)
She has come to IAO for conferences on the Banner system, and for participating to the research project "Legalizing Space in China", headed by Jérôme Bourgon.
