Due to this, the foreign exchange or Forex Trading market provides various opportunities when it comes to creating your own profit. But aside from becoming an Engine Forex trader, one of the most profitable ways to take advantage of foreign exchange trade is to start your very own foreign currency trading business.
The latter of which is to provide Forex trading platforms to retail Forex traders. With the influx of tourists and the growing global demand, there's good money to be made in the Forex trade industry.
To start your very own Forex trading business, here are some expert tips you need to follow:
- Set business goals and plans
Having a business plan is the first step to creating a Forex trading business. This step involves defining your business and coming up with ways on how to stand out from the crowd. Without proper planning, your Forex trading business is going to inevitably fail because the lack of direction will lead to unclear paths.
Here are some of the inclusions of your business plan:
- Securing your start-up capital
- Defining your market
- Finding your business identity
- Feasibility of the business in your area
After setting your business goals and plans, you can decide on the kind of Forex trading business you want to put up.
- Determine the kind of business
During this phase, business owners should determine what their business should focus on. Considering that the Forex market is the largest financial market of the world, it helps to fill in a certain niche that will be able to make a profit.
To stand out from the rest, consider some of these options:
- Trading Forex on behalf of the clients
- Buying and selling Forex from leading countries
- Offering brokerage services such as currency exchange and international payments to both companies and individuals
- Offering specialized consulting services
Once you know what kind of business you want to put up, you need to make sure that your company is legitimate since you'll be dealing with money.
- Establish a legal business entity
Your business entity will determine how big your business will potentially grow. In this step, budding entrepreneurs should consider whether or not they should provide service to a regional market, a national market, or even an international market.
To do this, you may have the option of choosing any of the following:
- General partnership - a business structure ideal for small scale Forex trading businesses.
- Limited Liability Company or LLC - a structure that protects you from personal liability, is flexible to operate, and does not require a board of directors or a team of shareholders to operate.
- A sole proprietorship - considered the simplest form of business entity. There is no formal list of steps to form a sole proprietorship as well as no separate tax forms.
Each legal business entity offers different advantages and disadvantages for specific situations, so make sure you take the time to find out what they are before you register your trade.
- Register for taxes
Several businesses are required to be registered for taxes, as mandated by their country's government. If you are operating in the US, you may be required to register for various state and federal taxes prior to launching your business.
For business owners operating in different countries, visit your government's website and contact your nearest internal revenue office.
- Open a business bank account
A business bank account enables business owners to keep track of their transactions by allowing one to manage their expenses and calculate tax liabilities. These accounts are different from personal bank accounts since they include special conditions for budding entrepreneurs.
When selecting the right bank for your business, consider their reputation and compare their charges, as well as interest rates.
- Acquire all the necessary permits
Depending on the country, region, state, or province you are residing in, certain business owners may be required to file a myriad of licenses and other permits from their national and local government.
Considering that requirements vary among different jurisdictions, it is important that you contact your local government to know what obligations you should need to fulfill first in starting your business.
Some of these necessary government permits may include the following:
- Business operation license either from your city or county
- Tax Identification Number
- Business Name permit
- Sales tax license
- Special licenses for online businesses
Regulation and permits are very important in making sure that you will not get into legal trouble upon operation. Make sure that you secure everything that's required in your area.
- Get business insurance
A business insurance operates as a safety net for businesses if they ever face a financial slump or problem that could potentially harm their profits and workforce.
There are various business insurances available which include:
- Professional liability insurance
- Property insurance
- Home-based business insurance
- Product liability insurance
To know which insurance best suits you, consider the risk factors that come with operating your business which may include legal liabilities and employee-related risks.
- Create a marketing strategy
No business can succeed without a proper marketing strategy. Your market strategy includes operating on both digital and traditional means. Considering that most Forex businesses operate online, you may find it better to focus your marketing budget in establishing an online presence.
This includes doing any of the following:
- Creating a website
- Formulating an online campaign
- Taking advantage of social media advertising
- Putting the best search engine optimization practices in place
- Utilizing different tricks to grab your audience's attention
If you are unsure where to start, you may want to consider hiring a digital marketing expert to get things done quickly.
Final Thoughts
A Forex trading business comes with its own number of risks and opportunities. In order to succeed in the market, one must be ready to meet certain requirements and challenges that could potentially harm their investment. To do this, remember to adapt a strong and disciplined mindset before you work.

Date & Time: Thursday, October 3rd, 2013 6:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m.
Venue: Intermediatheque 2F Exhibition room
Organization: UMUT Museum technology seminar, Music event group
Admission free
< Music & Science (3) – Sound of the Celts across the Time >
The Museum technology seminar is holding a series of mini-concerts since June 2013, as an innovative staging of the Intermediatheque's exhibition space.
Following the Venezuelan music by whistling and guitar duet, this third edition features Celtic music especially Irish dance music by all-female band "Camel" which consists of students from Tokyo University of Arts and University of Tokyo.
Four people of whistle, fiddle, Bodhrán and double base make "Sounds of the Celts" with improvisation in autumn dusk. We are looking forward to seeing you at the museum.
(UMUT Museum technology seminar, Music event group)
< Words from Camel >
In Ireland, there was uncountable melody that was passed down orally. From this large amount of repertoire, we choose melody that is suitable for the place and repeat impromptu and we combine with other melody. A dance sometimes joins. Enjoy chattering and alcohol in an interval of the music. Someone starts performance until late at night.
The pleasure of the Irish music cannot show with a word. Whenever the music is played, connection of the melody, the tempo, and the decoration are all different, so it is chance for the players to show what they can do.
And all musical instruments function as rhythm musical instruments, and also audience can join the music with standstill and shout, so the place becomes united.
This time, we are looking forward to getting different inspiration than usual from the space of museum where the present and the past crosses.
Emi Sakai (Camel)
The band named "Camel" mainly plays Irish traditional music. This unique girls band started activity with four initial members in 2009 when they were students of Tokyo University of Arts. Tokyo University student bassist player joined the band later. The band perfoms at Irish pub in Tokyo, café and they attract attention. In July 2012, they released 1st mini album (already sold out).

Mini-Concert Series "Music & Science (3) – Sound of the Celts over the Time"
The third edition of our mini-concert series was dedicated to Celtic music. Celtic music is a folk music we casually hear in outdoor scenes of TV travel series, but it is rather unusual to see Celtic musical instruments or live concerts. This was a rare opportunity to experience such a performance. As the day went down the museum hall was quiet, but in the second floor, visitors formed a large ring, waiting for the apparition of the musicians.
Backed by the jaunty rhythm of Yukari Narita's Bodhrán and Yumi Iwasato's double bass, Emi Sakai's fiddle and Shoko Takanashi's Irish whistle played melody. Usually, Celtic music does not refer to scores. It is transmitted from person to person, each performer giving his own interpretation of a song. During this performance too, musicians walked, sat down on specimen stands, sometimes looking at each other, and they made music while enjoying conversation with visitors. As they watched the performers, the whole audience started smiling naturally, and began to share the music's rhythm. Unconsciously, we tend to concentrate on the performance, but turning our gaze away from it and listening to music while facing a specimen is a particular experience. Even the specimens seemed to start dancing.
The program covers a wide range, from standards to original pieces. Takanashi, who learns composition at the graduate school, is composing original music for "Camel". She composed a song entitled "Kari Kari Konsome" about sweets she loves. They heated up the hall with life-sized Celts music. Finally, visitors hand-clapped along the performance, the floor becoming a concert hall.
The "Music & Science" mini-concert series is organized by the UMUT Museum technology seminar's Music event group. This time was first time that we introduced ourselves. Yusuke Kimoto learns conducting, Mei Hashimoto learns piano, and Ayaka Kuroki who is writing this article learns clarinet, each as an extra-curriculum activity. This event was planned by people sharing a musical experience. This time, on behalf of seminar students, Kuroki partly participated in an encore with a clarinet performance.
The next concert is "Komaba Memorial Cello Orchestra," led by Yusuke Kimoto. As indicated by its name, this is an ensemble consisting exclusively of cellos. 15 cellists will gather to play Villa-Lobos' "Bachianas Brasileiras No.1" conducted by Kimoto.

Many of us grab the latest tabloid off store shelves with starry eyes when a new celebrity couple ties the knot -- which glamorous designer did the bride choose to make her dress, and how fabulous was her bling? The world of the rich and famous is mesmerizing on any average day of the year, but it's even more exciting when a celebrity wedding is the topic of conversation.
Starlets not only marry the rockers or actors the rest of us can only fantasize about, but they often have unlimited wedding budgets and multiple designers knocking down their doors at the chance to create their one-of-a-kind wedding day looks, too. What would it be like to have the wedding day of your dreams, complete with an A-list of stylists and designers in tow? Although competition was stiff, we've narrowed down the list of stylish celebrity brides that stand out among the rest. Dripping in diamonds and covered in several yards of ivory chiffon and silk organza, here are 10 gorgeous celebrity brides.
Salma Hayek
Actress Salma Hayek tied the knot to French businessman François-Henri Pinault on Valentine's Day 2009 in a quiet civil ceremony in Paris, France with only a few close family members present. Later that spring, the couple hosted a lavish reception in Venice at the La Fenice opera house. Despite the gorgeous venue, the bride was the main attraction. Hayek looked ravishing in an ivory Balenciaga wedding gown designed by Nicolas Ghesquiere, complete with a flowing full skirt and delicately embroidered V-neck bodice. The bride accessorized her gown with a bouquet of orchids, stephanotis and crystals and a fingertip-length veil cascading from her sleek updo.
Nicole Richie
Reality star and fashion designer Nicole Richie married musician Joel Madden in a winter-themed wedding at her father's Beverly Hills mansion in December of 2010. The bride wore three different wedding gowns throughout the event, all designed by Marchesa. The skirt of the gown -- a creation featuring more than 100 yards of hand-draped tulle petals and silk organza -- could be removed to reveal a full-length, figure-hugging dress with intricate lace detailing. The bride's final look of the evening was a slinky, sexy black number draped in black rhinestones -- a dress perfect for a night of dancing and celebrating.
Jacqueline Bouvier
Before she was First Lady, Jacqueline Bouvier married future President John F. Kennedy in 1953 in Newport, Rhode Island. A fashion icon in the making, Bouvier looked stunning on her wedding day dressed in an ivory silk taffeta gown designed by Ann Lowe. The dress, believed to have required approximately 50 yards of fabric, featured a portrait necklace and cinched waist. The bride accessorized her dress with an heirloom lace veil she borrowed from her grandmother, rounding out her timeless and romantic wedding day style.
Nicole Kidman
Actress Nicole Kidman married singer Keith Urban at Sydney, Australia's Cardinal Cerretti Memorial Chapel on St. Patrick's Estate at Manly in 2006. The bride wore an ivory silk-chiffon one-shouldered gown with an empire-style, puffy sleeve designed by Nicolas Ghesquiere for Balenciaga. Kidman accessorized her gown with pearl drop earrings and a floor-length silk tulle veil. She carried a bouquet of white freesias, carnations and gardenias and wore Christian Louboutin shoes on her feet.
Portia de Rossi
Actress Portia de Rossi married comedian Ellen DeGeneres in 2008 at their Beverly Hills mansion. De Rossi looked like a princess in a sweet gown with a ballerina-inspired light pink tulle skirt designed by Zac Posen. The backless dress showcased the bride's sleek frame, and she wore her hair up off her shoulders in a loose updo, completing her elegant, feminine look.
Gwen Stefani
Singer and fashion designer Gwen Stefani married rocker Gavin Rossdale in 2002. Staying true to her punk rock roots and signature off-beat style, the bride chose a custom-designed dress designed by John Galliano for Christian Dior. The white gown was dip-dyed silk faille gown in pink, making it truly a one-of-a-kind frock. Gwen accessorized her look with an antique lace veil and bouquet of phalaenopsis orchids.
Alicia Keys
Singer Alicia Keys married producer Kasseem David Dean, also known as Swizz Beatz, in the summer of 2010. The mother-to-be looked like a Greek goddess in a modern gown made of ivory silk designed by Vera Wang. Keys wore crystal-encrusted sandals and rhinestone headband draped elegantly across her forehead to complement the intricate jewel detail of the dress's back shoulder. As a finishing touch, the bride carried a bouquet of purple calla lilies to add a bold splash of color to her wedding day ensemble.
Mia Farrow
Actress Mia Farrow married singer Frank Sinatra in Las Vegas 1966. The bride nixed the idea of a traditional white wedding gown and chose to wear a mod pale minidress instead. She paired her trendy short dress with a cropped, matching jacket with three-quarter length sleeves. Farrow wore her hair in a fashion-forward pixie cut that showcased her delicate facial features, completing her modern and feminine wedding day style.
Katie Holmes
Actress Katie Holmes married actor Tom Cruise in November of 2006 in a medieval castle near Rome, Italy. The bride wore an off-the-shoulder ivory gown embroidered with Swarovski crystals and Valenciennes lace designed by the couples' close friend, Giorgio Armani. The stunning dress featured a dropped waistline, a flared, a-line skirt and a train made of ivory silk. Katie accessorized her gown with a floor-length tulle veil and a bouquet of calla lilies wrapped in leaves of steelgrass and galax.
Grace Kelly
Actress Grace Kelly married Monaco's Prince Rainier in 1956. Her long-sleeved, fitted bodice was studded in seed pearls and made from Brussels lace that was more than a century old! The dress was designed by costume designer Helen Rose and was a parting gift from MGM, Kelly's former movie studio. The ivory peau de soie dress, made by more than three dozen seamstresses over a period of six weeks, was made of 25 yards of silk taffeta and 100 yards of silk net. Kelly's classic wedding day style wouldn't be complete without including something blue, satisfied by the many tiny satin blue bows that covered her petticoats.

Thanks for the video. Those are really neat. You make it all look so simple, but I have a feeling it takes some practice.

Thanks for your comments.
Although mine is a western saw, you can do it with a Japanese pull saw if your handsawing skill is a bit rusty. It is a nice and non-intimidating project for those who want to try a bit of traditional woodworking.
Of course, no one says you can't cut the tree blanks on the tablesaw or scrollsaw.

So Tell how do you keep the curly bits to stay on. I tried this 3 times after watching Paul's video and every time during the cutting of the trunk and splitting off the trees all the curly bits fall off.

he cutting of the trunk and splitting off the trees
I suppose you followed the sequence of the cuts as shown in his video: i.e. resaw, chisel and split.
How deep did you cut into the edges to form the branches?
Perhaps also look at the video closely to see what kind of angle Paul used and see if you could copy his chiseling.
Hope this helps.

Finally I caught a coyote on the Truth Cam.
Years ago before I had a digital camera, I would sneak off into the field, usually crawling in the tall grass, to take photos of the fox families that lived there.
Years ago before I had a digital camera, I would sneak off into the field, usually crawling in the tall grass, to take photos of the fox families that lived there.
The first three pictures are copies of the photos I took long ago. I came across this little guy just walking in the woods, he came up quite close to me.
With the Truth Cam these last 10 months, I've gotten lots of shots with fox in the picture, but no coyote. Just once there was one blurred shot of what looked like a fox flying through the air and the backside of a coyote. These pics are a little bit better, at least I can tell it is a coyote.
From the Truth Cam
It really is amazing what lives here in our woods. Here are a few more animals I've caught in the last few months.
People often think when we are out wildflowering that we are looking for morel mushrooms, rarely do we see morels. Mike mowed the lawn for the first time this year on Saturday and he kept coming in bringing me morels that were growing right there in the lawn.
We have never eaten morels. Growing up I ate plenty of stump mushrooms. I looked up the best way to cook morels, and Mike put a steak on the grill. Here are some shots of the morels.
They were good but the slugs I cleaned off them sort of turned my stomach.
So many adventures (I'm NOT complaining), so many posts to create, so little time! I find I get more done if I stay away from this computer!
Real life, not virtual life - right? :)

All theses structures are filled with refurbished computers, running the Emmabuntüs distribution, supplemented by free culture data like Vikidia, Wikipedia, children's book in epub format, etc.
As a reminder, this version includes the UEFI support for the 32 and 64bits architectures, and integrates the essential "Debian beginner's handbook", updated for the Stretch version by our friends of the 3HG Team led by our mate arpinux ;), this handbook being available in both French and English versions.
Also included are our latest presentation and installation tutorials already published on the Developpez.com site, as well as the one concerning the printer configuration under Debian, also available in both French and English languages.

I have two end-of-year round-up posts to make, and this will be the first. Usually I wouldn't compile a list of least favourite films because I've always gone to great effort to avoid going to see films I will dislike. However, this year marks my first full year of film blogging, and I started it because I had invested in an 'unlimited card' from a major cinema chain (focusing on mainstream releases), allowing me to see as many films as I wanted there. As a result, I think I've seen enough disappointing films to put together this list, although like any, it's not entirely fair as I haven't seen all this year's releases — nothing from such heavyweights at this calibre of filmmaking as Vince Vaughn (The Internship) or Adam Sandler (Grown Ups 2), for example. With that caveat, here goes.
Action films always traditionally make a strong showing in this category, but to be honest, I generally feel relatively fondly towards the generic and retrogressive pleasures of the action flick. They usually have the sense not to try and make any grand statements and just focus on fights and chases, as is right. There's plenty of that in this film, about a terrorist takeover of the White House, but everything it does is grounded in cliché (i.e. Die Hard), and when it touches on the terrorists, it can only come up with racist stereotypes (Chinese and Koreans are essentially interchangeable, is the film's lesson). Gerard Butler makes a decent fist of being Jason Statham (a true superstar of the genre), but the film he's done here is just a nasty, unpleasant mess.
4. Man of Steel
It's been a big year for big-budget franchise-ready science-fiction/fantasy action films. I could easily have included Star Trek Into Darkness in this list as well, so much did I dislike it, but perhaps a residual fondness for that franchise has made me relent. Man of Steel, though, feels like another level of lazy, loud, boring filmmaking. In truth, I found the meandering backstory of the first third perfectly diverting, but by the time it reached its pummelling city-destroying and massively overlong denouement, things had already gone pretty rapidly downhill. A lot of flash, a lot of noise, an appropriately square-jawed and wooden performance from its star, and very little of substance.
3. Kick-Ass 2
I didn't hate the first Kick-Ass, but it had some pretty weird and unpleasant vigilante politics. This one takes those and just pushes them to extremes. There's a nasty strain of misogyny and rape culture, some weird (perhaps because incoherent) racism, an apparent enjoyment at the slaughter of innocents (and the police), and just too much reliance of maladjusted foul-mouthed teenagers being violent, and confusing that for heroism. I mean, I concede that maybe that was the point — to critique the politics of most cartoon-based action films — but what was on screen was just plain mean and nasty, and even the wonderful Chloë Grace Moretz was sidelined for most of the running time.
On the one hand, it feels a little mean to put a comedy amongst my least favourite films, not least because it doesn't set out to be unpleasant, and truth be told, if I'd seen any of the most (un)feted American comedies of the year, it's almost certain they'd be in this position instead; the best I can do is that I didn't really like The Heat, but it at least tried to do something interesting with its lead female roles, even if I didn't laugh much. I laughed even less, though, at this lazy British comedy, which pokes its fun at a married couple and their friends. The couplings were formulaic to say the least, and the performances generally boring (except for some small side roles for Olivia Colman and Stephen Merchant). Nobody in the film was likeable in any way. But mostly I give it my #2 spot because I didn't laugh.
I've seen some end-of-year lists that put this film amongst the best of the year, and I wanted to like it, I really did. There were even some fairly memorable scenes (the 'sex' between Cameron Diaz and Javier Bardem on either side of a car's window comes to mind), but all of them are in service of a nasty, violent, racist and hatefully misogynist fantasia of American mythologising on its frontier. Maybe it's a satire, or some kind of dystopian allegory, but it's all just so much ugliness masquerading as art.

Speed Agility Dribbling Session – Objective
We would like to improve our physical ability and reaction time. In our Speed Agility Dribbling Session, we will have short reaction time speed and agility drills, followed by small sided game in tight spaces to quickly get out of pressure.
Every practice session starts with a light jog warm up and stretching. Every time there is a small break, players should look to play a small game of rondo when they are waiting on their team mates.
- 5 minutes of light jog to activate our body muscles.
- It is followed by 2 minutes of stretching.
- Total: 7 minutes.
Speed Agility Dribbling Session – Details and Stages
The US SOCCER curriculum its best practices is followed. This methodology consists of 4 stages within our Speed Agility Dribbling Session, focusing on progression throughout.
Speed Agility Dribbling Session – Stage I – WARM UP
- The group will be split into 2 big groups.
- One half will do cardio when they are not doing the drill, the other half of the group will do speed and agility, with and without the ball.
- MAIN: No ball just yet, figure 8 agility. The coach will call a color of the flag, players will sprint full speed, and shuffle between the cones. To finish, the player will do a quick turn and sprint back to the group.
- PROGRESSION: We introduce the ball, with quick ground passing on the outside of the cones. The server can be the coach, or the goalie, with feet or hands. The coach will call a color of the flag, players will dribble full speed, and dribble between the cones. To finish, the player will have a free shot on goal.
- PROGRESSION II: Quick ball manipulation such as sole rolls or inside touches, before repeating the sequence by acceleration and dribbling with the ball, and to finish with a shot on goal.
- Total: 25-35 minutes.
Speed Agility Dribbling Session – Stage II – SMALL SIDED ACTIVITY
- We implement pressure from the opponent, direction to goal and transition from attack to defense.
- 1v1, 2v2 or 3v3 (depending on the numbers). The ball starts behind the goal of the attackers. They will do ball manipulation or quick passing, followed by a sprint sideways around the goals to start the drill.
- PROGRESSION: Limit touches for the attackers.
- Total: 20-25 minutes.
Speed Agility Dribbling Session – Stage III – EXPANDED SMALL SIDED ACTIVITY
- We require a slightly bigger field, and we have at least 1 big goal with a goalkeeper.
- Offside rule applies.
- We have bigger numbers on teams, 5v5 all the way up to 9v9, depending on the number of players at practice.
- Quick rondo passing before sprinting sideways upon the coach's call.
- PROGRESSION: limit touches for attacker.
- Total: 15-25 minutes.
Speed Agility Dribbling Session – Stage IV – FULL GAME
- All rules apply as during a regular league game.
- Players try to implement the lessons learned from practice.
- We play a full game with all players involved.
- Total: 15-25 minutes.
- After the game, we will work on our core and abs with the following drills:
- 30 knee crunches with knees and legs up,
- 30 cross crunches with elbow to opposite knee,
- 20 leg raises,
- 20 cycling cross crunches sitting up,
- 30 flutter kicks while sitting up,
- 20 heel touches,

More than 50 leaders from the Greater New Britain business and non-profit communities gathered at The Foundation Center at 74A Vine Street on Thursday, April 12, 2018, to network and learn about the work of the Community Foundation at a Greater New Britain Chamber of Commerce Business After-Hours event. Guests mingled with Community Foundation staff and enjoyed the Foundation's newly updated space, which includes a newly designed open layout, a student art gallery sponsored by Stanley Black & Decker, a large-format lobby video display featuring information about CFGNB programs and initiatives, and the Foundation's new Non-Profit Resource Center designed to provide a wealth of on-line and hard copy resources at no charge to area non-profits. The enthusiastic gathering proved yet again that philanthropy is good business.

Five days without Internet were good, interesting, would've been fine if my phone and internet weren't connected. That was a little scary. Learning I could use free wifi in the park was good — once a day, check in and make phone calls while I watch people walk their dogs and have picnics. I don't like that park much — one side of it is along the highway and there is no fence. If I were building a park there I'd sure put up a fence along that side anyway, but I'm not in charge.
I learned how much time I WASTE online. Incredible. I started wondering what is the point of Facbook? I'm still wondering that. I wondered about my blog, too. Every single day. In five years, I have written more than 2000 of these things, and while some say something, most don't.
During this interval, I also learned about radio in the San Luis Valley — several Christian stations with strong signals, lots of country music with strong signals, a couple of rock-ish stations that have to offer something for everyone so mix up hip-hop with Tom Petty (make my teeth itch, both extremes). And there's PBS which has always been far too earnest for me. It's like (for me) listening to Eeyore. BUT I got fire updates with NO national news (imagine!!!!)
I made progress on the Schneebelis writing every morning while Dusty waited for his coffee, time usually dedicated to this blog.
The smoke smell is strong today. The firelines that were doing a pretty good job yesterday were mocked and ridiculed by the fire over night and we're back to zero containment. Really NOTHING is going to do anything to that fire except humidity and rain. There is a marginal probability of rain this afternoon so anyone so inclined please pray or dance for rain in Southern Colorado. This is supposed to be the beginning of the wet season but…
Meanwhile, Bear and I discovered the golf course was closed for the fourth of July so we had some independence in where we walked. We left no trace; it's our secret. I'm now teaching myself to walk up and down hills. There are some small ones at the high school. Rehab takes a lot of time and patience and the other day at Physical Therapy I had a short sinking spell that maybe the problem isn't my joints per se but that I'm old and there's only one fix for that.
In two weeks the entire slough is open for walking and I look forward to that.
As for my blog — I'm not sure. My books are (on the relevancy scale of the Universe) only a very small positive number, but they matter to me. My blog is a slightly larger positive number, but I'm not sure about it, either. I might be running out of things of pith and moment to share with the world.

Cryptocurrency Firm Circle Raises $110 Million to Launch Dollar-Backed Token
While digital currencies backed by some tangible asset have met with only limited success (see, Venezuelan petro), that's not for lack of trying. The latest entrant is Boston-based Circle Internet Financial, which announced Tuesday that it has received $110 million in a series E funding round from Beijing-based bitcoin-mining hardware maker Bitmain.
Circle plans to use the investment to launch a "US Dollar Coin" (USDC) that uses the Ethereum blockchain and that will be backed by real U.S. dollars. According to Circle co-founder, board chair and CEO, Jeremy Allaire, the new investment lifts the company's valuation to around $3 billion.
Also participating in this financing round were existing investors IDG Capital, Breyer Capital, General Catalyst, Accel, Digital Currency Group and Pantera, along with new investors Blockchain Capital and Tusk Ventures.
According to co-founders Allaire and Sean Neville, Bitmain will become a partner in Centre and join in the effort to "introduce multiple fiat-backed stablecoins and provide financial interoperability around the world."
One of the biggest issues that digital currencies face is volatility. A cryptobuck may be worth one amount when you buy it and either more or less when you sell it. In that scenario, the currency is more like an equity.
But when it comes to transactions, when a vendor charges $1,000 it expects to be paid that amount, not a little more or a little less. By pegging the USDC to the dollar, the volatility issue is solved. But then, why not just pay in dollars in the first place?
From Circle's press release announcing the funding:
Circle USDC [provides] detailed financial and operational transparency, operating within the regulated framework of US money transmission laws, and reinforced by established banking partners and auditors. It is built on an open source framework with an open membership scheme that eligible Financial Institutions (FI) can participate in (CENTRE). USDC will be ERC-20 tokens minted, issued, and redeemed based on network rules defined by CENTRE.
Circle itself will mint USDC tokens that meet specifications for "stablecoins" set Centre, which is currently a wholly owned subsidiary of Circle. At some point in the future, Centre will facilitate the transfer of payments between fiat currencies and any number of cryptocurrencies by converting the cryptobucks to dollars, euros, yen or whatever.

Use integrative approach to stress-induced dry eye
Click Here to Manage Email Alerts
Dry eye is one of the most frequently encountered ophthalmic conditions, with prevalence as high as 87.5% (Fenga et al.) among computer users and 73.5% (Uchini et al.) among the elderly population.
Symptoms include fluctuating vision, tired eyes, redness, burning, foreign body sensation, excessive tearing, itching and recurring eye infections. Causes include age, menopause, allergies, medication (antihistamines, diuretics, antidepressants, birth control pills, beta-blockers and hormone replacement therapy), low humidity environments, lid disease and contact lens wear.
I believe there is another important, yet overlooked, cause for dry eye: stress, both psychological and visual. Over the years, I have seen an overwhelmingly high percentage of my dry eye patients report a high level of stress – psychological (such as depression, stress from work or family) or visual stress from excessive use of digital devices. Patients with blepharitis, meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), hordeolum and chalazia are usually also stressed.
Contributors to stress
Stress is becoming a public health crisis, according to the American Psychological Association. Most Americans are reporting more stress, depression and anxiety due to the economy, environment and job instability. Children also show signs of stress because their parents are stressed. Physical symptoms include difficulty sleeping, headaches, stomachaches and weight gain. Stress is being associated with more health problems, such as hypertension, obesity, diabetes, depression and gastrointestinal problems.
In addition to chronic stress, modern-day technology has turned us into a visual work force instead of a physical work force. Computers, cell phones and tablets are an integral part of our daily life; however, their excessive use creates a heavy visual demand, making people more vulnerable to dry eye at a younger age. The use of digital devices is typically associated with partial or infrequent blinking, which prevents the spreading of tear film evenly over the ocular surface. This causes stasis of meibomian gland secretions, resulting in blockage of the glands, inflammation and eventually atrophy.
Weakening of the immune system as a result of stress also contributes to dry eye. Overgrowth of common commensals of eyelid margins (eg, Staphylococcus aureus, coagulase-negative staphylococci and Propionibacterium acnes) have also been implicated in the pathogenesis of MGD. When questioning my patients with dry eye disease (DED), as well as other lid conditions such as blepharitis, MGD and hordeolum, I have found that the majority live demanding, chronically high-stress lives or had a recent increase in work load or psychological stress.
Management strategies
Management strategies for dry eye include a wide variety of pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic approaches such as lubricants, nutritional supplements, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs and punctum plugs. With the recognition of MGD as the most common cause of DED, it is evident that using lubricants and treating lid margin inflammation is not sufficient.
For MGD-associated dry eye, it is critical to relieve meibomian gland obstruction through warm compresses and lid hygiene. It is difficult to reach the critical melting point and maintain it long enough to liquefy the clogged meibomian glands. This problem is solved with infrared heated eye masks that also increase circulation to promote healing. The MiBo Heating Pad by the MiBo Medical Group (Dallas) and the Moisture Eyes Heavenly Heat Pad developed by the Heat Pad Company (Gilroy, Calif.) stay heated to 108°F via a USB cord.
Lid hygiene is more effective when combined with an eyelid cleanser such as ZocuFoam (Zocular), Avenova (NovaBay) or Ocusoft Lid Scrub. Topical steroids and oral antibiotics such as doxycycline are effective treatment options due to their anti-inflammatory properties, but if used on a long-term basis they have potential side effects, including glaucoma, cataracts, antibiotic resistance and gastrointestinal discomfort.
A more natural approach is ZocuFoam cleanser and moisturizer. It uses the proprietary Zokrex made from the okra plant to reduce inflammation and remove bacteria, Demodex and debris while moisturizing the eyelids with aloe.
For in-office dry eye therapy there are several excellent options that radiate heat while massaging the meibomian glands to liquefy and evacuate thickened meibum. The MiBo ThermoFlo (Mibo Medical Group) massages the eyelids with a platinum probe heated to 108°F (42.2°C). Pretreatment, I use povidone-iodine to disinfect the ocular surface and treat blepharitis. I also use LidPro (Mibo Medical Group) to exfoliate the eyelid margins to treat anterior blepharitis.
The Lipiflow Activator by TearScience (Morrisville, N.C.) is another device that effectively treats MGD by using heat and pressure on the meibomian glands at 109°F. Therapeutic motion from the patented heat and adaptive force equalization provides proximal to distal peristalsis to clear the gland contents of stagnant meibum and bacteria.
When appropriate, I prescribe anti-inflammatory agents (cyclosporine, lifitegrast, etc.) and antibiotics (azithromycin and tetracycline derivatives). Heated treatment further improves the signs and symptoms of dry eye by opening up inspissated meibomian glands, which harbor bacteria and lead to a vicious cycle that perpetuates and worsens dry eye disease.
Prescribing nutraceuticals
To improve tear quality and quantity, I prescribe HydroEye, an omega fatty acid supplement by ScienceBased Health (Houston) that was found to relieve dry eye signs and symptoms in a clinical trial. HydroEye includes GLA – a unique anti-inflammatory omega (not found in fish or our diet) that has been proven in seven dry eye clinical trials (Sheppard et al.). Together, GLA and other nutrients work together to support all three layers of the tear film. HydroEye uses a unique gamma-linoleic acid (GLA) that is not found in fish or flaxseed oil, which eliminates the fishy taste. HydroEye also contains a blend of other omega fatty acids and nutrient cofactors to decrease tear gland inflammation.
I prescribe Ultra Dry Eye TG (OcuSci Inc., Del Mar, Calif.) for my patients older than 40 years old because it has lutein and zeaxanthin and vitamins D3 and B12, which are valuable for ocular nutritional support as we age. The product uses a superior absorbing triglyceride molecular form of omega-3 from Alaskan wild-caught pollock. Most American diets are deficient in these key nutrients that support overall vision health.
The third part of my dry eye treatment includes prescribing homeopathic drops instead of artificial tears. Natural Ophthalmics (Dillon, Colo.) has two unique formulas: one with ingredients indicated for women with dryness related to hormone fluctuation and the other indicated for evaporative dry eye.
Natural Ophthalmics will be soon releasing a new formula for treating blepharitis and MGD that includes ingredients for underlying stress. This formula will also target other issues associated with dry eyes including immune support, allergies and eyelid hypertrophy.
Patient education is invaluable for compliance because seeing is believing. MiBoCam (Mibo Medical Group) and Meibox (Box Medical Solutions, West Hills, Calif.) take infrared images of the meibomian glands to demonstrate to patients anatomical changes that are associated with their symptoms, such as truncation from atrophy.
Addressing stress
The fourth, and critical, step is to address underlying stress. This prevents the dry eye that results from the cycle of a stress-weakened immune system. I educate patients about the health risks of long-term stress, including hypertension, heart disease, stroke, gastrointestinal problems, depression, obesity and lid disease. Stress management counseling and referrals help our patients stay healthy and incorporate medication, yoga, exercise, healthy diet, acupuncture and healthy sleep.
Overall, an integrative approach to dry eye treatment addresses the underlying cause of stress-induced dry eyes. Clearing the obstruction, improving tear quality, curbing inflammation, stimulating tear production and showing the patient the damage caused by MGD are all essential to treating dry eyes. Addressing the underlying stress that can lead to inflammation and dry eyes is a critical step that needs to be part of your treatment to prevent chronic dry eye.

Ticket scalpers hit Fargodome eventsFargo, N.D. (WDAY TV) -If you're planning to buy seats for a show at the Fargodome , watch out for scalpers looking to scam you.
By: Kay Cooley, WDAY
Fargo, N.D. (WDAY TV) -If you're planning to buy seats for a show at the Fargodome , watch out for scalpers looking to scam you.
Just this last weekend at Pink, about a half-dozen concert goers had to leave without even making it inside the gates. The reason: fake tickets.
Rob Sobolik, Fargodome General Manager: "Sporting events and concerts."
Michael Ruth, ticket buyer: "I came over to buy these tickets for Lady Antebellum.
Sobolik: "Those high demand events."
It's not a one-size fits all problem. People out to secure a seat at one of our area's biggest shows.
Ruth: "I always would go to where you actually buy the tickets."
But a few are running into roadblocks online where scammers flock to get you to buy into their false admissions.
Sobolik: "It's very frustrating, especially for the person who shelled out maybe upwards of hundreds of dollars."
It happens most often when concert goers avoid the box office and turn to the internet for purchases.
Ruth: "You can scalp your tickets. You go out there and you're buying a ticket, and you don't know if that ticket is real or not. You're hoping that little laser thing or that hologram is real."
Whether you print off at home or buy at the box office, what you're really buying is this barcode. Each barcode can only be scanned once, so if someone makes a copy, it's first come first serve getting through the doors.
Ruth: "You don't know until you get to your seat."
Sobolik:" Nobody wants to deliver the news to somebody that the ticket you bought isn't a real ticket."
So if you don't want to be the one stuck on the wrong side of the gate
Sobolick:"There's nothing that can be done."
The best thing to do is steer clear of second hand sellers.
There are still tickets available for all of the Fargodome's upcoming events including the Lady Antebellum concert this weekend.

Here in Northern California the high school season is over for all but a few elite swimmers who will go to the first ever State Championship this next weekend. As is the case when a season's block of training and racing ends swimmers and coaches reflect on what went right and what went "not so much."
Discussing this with one coach we found his observation interesting. We don't keep strict track of attendance other than to note that we do absolutely know who is there "all the time" and who misses on a consistent basis.
This coach remarked that he had an athlete who swam a 56+ last year and a 57+ this year. He also pointed out to this swimmer (because he has the data) that last year the swimmer came to 95% of all workouts offered and this year to 88%. He went on to say that he had a boy last year head off to a major academic and swim school who missed 4 workouts in his 4 years of high school and a girl who did the same, missing 1 workout in 4 years.
Now lest you think that this is absurd we can assure you the data is real. Not every workout attended was high performance and not every workout attended was on 8 hours of sleep. But darn near every workout offered was attended.
If you look at any field of performance this one constant is - dare we say – always present. We know since we follow Bruce Springsteen that in his development from local hero to superstar (still relevant today after 40+ years) he played his guitar every day…not most days, every day. He still writes music every day. That is why he is still relevant.
So as we looked at our swimmers we noticed another trend. The ones who swam really well – and really fast – this block also had another characteristic readily visible. They trained really well every day. Some coaches and swimmers relate better to the word "hard" so we will use it here. These swimmers trained "hard" every day. On many days they were faster than on other days…but make no mistake, they didn't take days "off".
Were they perfect in their swims this weekend? Not necessarily so but did they shine? Absolutely they did!
So, swimmers, the question is, "are you going to the pool today or are you not?" The second question is, "Are you training or are you going for a swim?"
The same two questions apply to all coaches out there…just saying…

Live from London II
i thought it was exceptionally cool to see this on tv over the weekend. you see, in the United Kingdom it is not traditional to have the national anthem prior to a sporting event like a football game. i didn't think this clip gave it justice but watching it on the tube was electric.
there aren't any more hockey games until Wednesday night so i'm working on doing a team review for an emailer. i hope to have it ready to go as my next blog but who knows with time constraints. besides, Heroes and Prison Break are on tonight so i have serious doubts there'll be any blogging going up from this guy this evening. on a side note, if you haven't been following these two shows then start catching it now. i'd even go so far as to tell you to go rent previous seasons on DVD and spend some time.

A European Commission (EC) antitrust inquiry into Microsoft's investments in European cable companies has been wound down after the company promised to modify existing technology pacts with two digital cable operators.
'Microsoft has agreed to modify its relationship with two partner companies in order not to exercise undue influence over their choice of set-top box technologies,' the EC said in a statement, following the 10-month investigation.
The EC's investigation looked into three of Microsoft's strategic investments in the burgeoning Euro-cable market - with Dutch company UPC, the UK's NTL and Portuguese company TV Cabo.
Two of these investments - with NTL and UPC - were linked to the formation of a joint technology board that made binding recommendations related to the technology decisions of the cable company. This caused concerns about competition in the European set top box technology industry.
Although it disagreed that the recommendations of the boards were ever compulsory, Microsoft today agreed that recommendations made by the technology boards would not be binding.
'We believe that the contract terms are fair and lawful and did not provide that there is any binding decision-making,' John Frank, Microsoft's Director Europe, Middle East and Africa for Law and Corporate Affairs, told Reuters.
``But rather than disagree with the Commission about it, it just seemed easier to resolve the matter by making these changes,'' he said.
It also abolished one joint technology board completely, and will mould another into an 'industry technology forum' which will be open equally for competing set top box technology suppliers. It was not clear whether the discontinued technology board would be with NTL or UPC.
The investigation comes after Microsoft last year bowed to EC regulators and agreed to reduce a joint controlling position in UK cable TV operator Telewest to a minority investment, following a similar investigation.
'The Commission is happy with these modifications and considers them satisfactory to end the current investigation into the involvement of Microsoft in the emerging digital cable markets in Europe,' an EC statement said. 'Obviously, the Commission does not want to prevent these companies from buying the new Microsoft products for digital interactive television, but wants to make sure that new technologies are brought to the consumers on fair and equal terms.'

A medical waste treatment platform in Wallonia ?27/03/2019
AMB-Ecosteryl wants to create an integrated platform for the treatment of hospital waste in Wallonia. The Mons company is therefore looking for partners to develop its project !
Founded in 1947, AMB is a private family group originally dedicated to the design and production of specific machines for the extractive industry. For more than 15 years now, the company has focused on developing new equipment for the treatment of medical waste, to help maintain a healthy environment and promote sustainable development. The company, which exports 100% of its production, has already installed 150 machines in 50 countries around the world and its customers include major environmental companies specialised in waste and wastewater management.
AMB is therefore looking for partners to create an integrated medical waste treatment platform in Wallonia. "We have not had the chance to install our system in Belgium yet, but it should not be long now because after building a reputation all over the world, especially in neighbouring countries such as France, where we are the leader, and in other European countries, we thought it would be quite good for Wallonia's image if we could install our technology ourselves and thus treat and recover hospital waste in Wallonia," said Olivier Dufrasne, Sales Director and President of AMB Ecosteryl. The managers of AMB Ecosteryl are open to all possible options for managing this platform, and hope to be able to implement the project this year.
The machines produced by AMB use a process that is unique in the world. "All hospital waste will be put in our machine to be shredded," explained Olivier Dufrasne. "We reduce the volume of waste by 80%. It becomes a kind of confetti that we then heat with microwaves to a temperature of 100°C. It is exposed to this temperature for one hour and emerges, continuously, as unrecognisable waste. Ultimately, we turn hazardous waste into non-hazardous waste."
The company, which employs about forty people and has a turnover of 15 million euros, offers its services at a lower price than the competition, which generally treats infectious waste at almost 1,000 euros per tonne. In addition, the company has just created a new solution, Neo-Ecosteryl, which allows waste to be recycled rather than sent to landfill. The plastic materials are reused while the rest of the waste, once reduced in volume, is used as an alternative fuel for cement manufacturers. Finally, their assembly hall, located in Mons, will be expanded this year, doubling production capacity. AMB Ecosteryl will then be able to produce two machines per month.
