What happened to the Afghanistan surge?
Obama:"Already, we have brought home 33,000 of our brave servicemen and women. …Tonight, I can announce that over the next year, another 34,000 American troops will come home from Afghanistan. This drawdown will continue. And by the end of next year, our war in Afghanistan will be over."
Judging by this speech alone, it sounded like Obama has presided over a successful and steady withdrawal of American troops in Afghanistan. One key fact was missing: he's also the one responsible for sending over the troops he's pulling out.
When Obama took office, there were about 33,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan. He allowed planned increases to continue, bringing the number of troops up to about 68,000 by the end of 2009. Then Obama went even further, authorizing a surge of another 33,000 troops in 2010.
Obama roughly tripled troop levels from those President George W. Bush had in place. And even with the drawdown plan he announced Tuesday, Obama plans to have more U.S. troops in Afghanistan through the next year than when he took office.
And when Obama talked vaguely about "the nature of our commitment" after 2014, he was referring to keeping a still-to-be-determined number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan though he never said that directly.
Troop-losses were far greater under Obama than Bush...and what for?

Re: Politico:
Where are all these liberals that screamed so when Bush kept us in wars, but said nothing while Obama kept us there. It used to be on the news every night about how many were gtting killed-until Obama came into office, that is. Then it was hardly mentioned.

Obama gets scant criticism for the "collateral damage" that the MSM excoriated Bush over.
Drone-development expanded under the Bush Administration.Unfortunately, no new era of international peace has been ushered in for American soldiers or citizens under Obama . During his presidency, our military has sustained an estimated 70 percent of the 1,987 casualties and nearly 80 percent of the 17,519 injuries that have taken place in Afghanistan.
Despite candidate Obama 's harsh criticism of President Bush's war strategies and his 2002 anti-war speech in Chicago, Obama has, "in fact built on his predecessor's national security tactics." And while the media was up in arms over those tactics when President Bush used them, apparently building on and augmenting them is no big deal.
President Obama has greatly increased surveillance of citizens, classified more government documents than any other president, preserved CIA renditions and significantly increased drone strikes.
Obama gets scant criticism for the "collateral damage" that the MSM excoriated Bush over.

Birdfair 2019 – Identification of Eastern vagrants to Britain by Per Alström
Siberian Rubythroat, Siberian Blue Robin, White's Thrush… some tantalising Asian vagrants that most British birders dream of finding on their local patch! Although often skulking and tricky to get good views of, these are easy to identify. However, some of the warblers, like Arctic, Greenish and Two-barred – as well as some close relatives of these that are not yet on the British list – are more challenging to distinguish.
In his talk at 2019's Birdfair, Professor Per Alström discussed the identification of an array of eastern vagrants, but also highlight the enormously improved knowledge in this field over the last few decades, alongside mention of some of his own struggles to learn more about these birds.

In a case potentially of interest to any dog owner, in Augsburger v. Kontos, the Wisconsin Court of Appeals broadly construed the word "owner" under Wis. Stat. § 174.02, which subjects the owner of a dog to strict liability for any injuries caused by it. The Court ruled that the owner of a home in which he did not reside but who permitted his adult daughter to live there was an "owner" of dogs kept by his daughter and was therefore strictly liable when the dogs attacked a visitor to the home.
Defendant-owner purchased a home for the purpose of eventually retiring there and, in the meantime, to provide a place for his daughter and her family to live near Defendant's ill wife. Defendant's daughter did not pay any rent. Defendant himself did not live on the property but resided in a home several miles away. Defendant visited the property on multiple occasions. At the time of the attack, Defendant was aware that there were at least five dogs living on the property and on at least one occasion Defendant was observed disciplining the dogs when they were "playing roughly". Defendant admitted that he could have told his daughter's family that they could not keep the dogs at the property. While visiting the property, Plaintiff was attacked by several of the dogs and she brought claims against Defendant (among others) for her injuries. The circuit court granted Plaintiff summary judgment and he sought and was granted an interlocutory appeal.
The Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court. Wis. Stat. § 174.001(5) defines the owner of a dog under Wis. Stat. § 174.02 as "any person who owns, harbors or keeps a dog." The Court rejected Defendant's arguments that he was not the dogs' owner because he did not exercise any custody or control over them and that he did not harbor them because he did not live in the home in which they resided.
Because it was undisputed that Defendant did not own or keep the dogs involved, the Court discussed whether or not Defendant was harboring them. The Court relied on and discussed the case Pawlowski v. Am. Family Mut. Ins. Co., 2009 WI 105, 322 Wis. 2d 21, 777 N.W.2d 67. In Pawlowski the Wisconsin Supreme Court stated that harboring "means to afford lodging, to shelter or to give refuge to a dog" and that harboring lacks the proprietary aspect of keeping. Because Plaintiff did not assert that Defendant was keeping the dogs at the time of the attack but rather was harboring them, the fact that Defendant did not exercise custody or control over the dogs was irrelevant. In addition, the fact that Defendant lived in a separate residence from the dogs was only relevant if the issue was whether Defendant was a keeper of the dogs. The legislature's use of the broader term "harbor" encompassed individuals who afford lodging, etc. to dogs even if they do not live in the same residence as the dogs. Accordingly, because Defendant permitted his daughter's family to live with their dogs in property he owned, Defendant was strictly liable for the injuries caused by the dogs as a harborer even if he did not live in the same residence as the dogs.
The Court also rejected Defendant's alternate argument that public policy considerations should preclude liability even if he was harborer of the dogs under Wis. Stat. § 174.02. The Court ruled that the injury was not too remote from negligence or too disproportionate to Defendant's culpability because Defendant had knowingly permitted a "sizable pack of dogs to reside at the property for a number of months", had been to the house on multiple occasions with the dogs present, had disciplined the dogs, did not put in place any rules or safety devices to control the dogs, did not attempt to limit the number of dogs at the property, did not inquire regarding the dogs' temperament, did not take any steps whatsoever to ensure the safety of visitors to a property he owned, and Plaintiff was attacked while visiting the property and not, for example, while Defendant's daughter had the dogs off the property for a walk. The Court ruled on similar grounds that liability would not place too unreasonable of a burden on Defendant as a mere owner of the property and would not lead to open-ended liability.
A dissent criticized the majority for its "mechanistic" and "hypertechnical" decision. The dissent noted that not a single case cited by the majority found that a person who lives in a home separate from an injury-causing dog is its owner simply because the person owned the property where the dog resided with its legal owner. The dissent argued that under the majority's stretched interpretation of the statute, any person who donates to a local humane society would be liable for injuries caused by the dogs sheltered there. The dissent was also critical of the majority's refusal to consider whether or not Defendant-owner was entitled to the exemption from liability traditionally afforded landlords whose tenants keep dogs on rented property. The majority asserted that Defendant-owner had never actually indicated that a landlord-tenant relationship existed, so it did not consider the issue. The dissent believed that Defendant properly raised the issue and it should have been considered and applied in Defendant's favor, as here, Defendant was "akin to a pro bono" landlord. Applying the landlord exemption would also have served the public policy reason of the landlord exemption of placing responsibility where it actually belongs "rather than fostering a search for a defendant whose affluence is more apparent that his culpability".

Ben & Jerry's to Launch CBD Ice Cream
Ben & Jerry's recently announced on its website that it wants to launch Ben & Jerry's CBD infused ice cream as soon as it's allowed "at the federal level." Currently, the Food & Drug Administration has prohibited adding CBD to food and beverages, although many companies are hoping the FDA will fully review CBD and approve it soon for human consumption via food & beverages.
CBD, also known as cannabidoil, is a phytocannabinoid discovered in the 1940's, and is a compound derived from the cannabis plant. There is anecdotal evidence that is may contain a variety of health benefits. However, sellers of it cannot claim such until the FDA fully reviews it and decides what claims can be made regarding its benefits. The FDA is currently deciding on the future of the naturally occurring compound.
CBD is said to be used for a variety of reasons, some of which include better sleep and stress relief. CBD has similar properties as THC, but is not psychoactive and will not produce a high like THC will.
Although CBD is legal due to the passage of the farm bill, public hearings are beginning at the FDA as to whether it can be reviewed and approved for the usage in food and beverages. If and when it's approved, expect Ben & Jerry's CBD Infused Ice Cream to be available at a store near you!
CBD Infused Ice Cream & Other Potential Uses - Explained
CBD can be taken directly through liquid tinctures, capsules, balms, creams, salves & more! It is also found in a wide variety of products worldwide, including lotions, oils, tea's, gummies, bath oils, cat & dog treats, and more!
Ben & Jerry's CBD infused ice cream plan should come as no surprise, as a variety of U.S. food retailers have expressed interest. In fact, Carl's Jr. just last month tested out a CBD infused burger in one of their Denver locations and it has been hyped as a huge success and very popular among consumers.
There are many other companies lining up to infuse CBD in their food or beverage products, so don't expect Ben & Jerry's CBD infused ice cream to be the only big CBD-related announcement when it comes to food! The FDA is facing increased calls from businesses and consumers alike to evaluate CBD and hopefully, after a thorough review, regulate its sale among many different products along with restrictions and guidelines that can serve as a roadmap for businesses to follow.
Ben & Jerry's CBD Infused Ice Cream – Keeping Up With Current Trends
Ben & Jerry's CBD infused ice cream plan is keeping up with one of the hottest trends in 2019 in terms of infusing CBD with food and beverages, along with a variety of other products. The statement from Ben & Jerry's regarding CBD infused ice cream cited a National Restaurant Association survey which found that 75% of chefs named CBD-infused food as a hot trend in 2019. Ben & Jerry's went on to further say that they want to give their customers what they are looking for in a "fun, Ben & Jerry's way."
Ben & Jerry's has long supported cannabis & CBD, and this is not the first time it has given support to the issue. They are hoping that their public statement, as well as prior support, will make an impact on CBD hearings scheduled soon; the first one actually being held today!
If and when Ben & Jerry's CBD infused ice cream eventually rolls out, they plan to source the CBD from their home state of Vermont. They believe in sourcing products according to values, and make up an integral piece of every product they develop. They source products from companies they believe in; ones they feel have social policies that they believe in and are working for the social good.
Do you have additional questions about Ben & Jerry's CBD infused ice cream or anything CBD-related? We believe in fully educating our audience and are here to help! We enjoy talking about all-things CBD. Please call us at 502-209-8808 or you may Contact Us here. We look forward to hearing from you!

"Leave all to Him; all you need do is pray, pray!" (St. Elizabeth Ann Seton)
Sometimes we may think that the Saints state the obvious when we are looking for something profound and deep, but even their simplest statements are chock full of the truth. When we are worried about an issue, we may say that we leave all to God, but for the most part we are probably fairly impatient with ourselves, with our lives and with God, too. I will leave it to another more qualified than I to expand on Mother Seton's statement:
"Above all, trust in the slow work of God. We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay. We would like to skip the intermediate stages. We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new. And yet it is the law of all progress that it is made by passing through some stages of instability-- and that it may take a very long time.
And so I think it is with you; your ideas mature gradually-- let them grow; let them shape themselves, without undo haste. Don't try to force them on, as though you could be today what time (that is to say, grace and circumstances acting on your own good will) will make of you tomorrow.
Only God can say what this new spirit gradually forming within you will be. Give our Lord the benefit of believing that his hand is leading you, and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself in suspense and incomplete." Teilhard de Chardin
Today, let's offer our lives and our situations up to God once again, truly believing that He is leading us in the details of our day. Let us be open to accepting what comes, knowing that we are being formed constantly in His image; and let us never miss the opportunity to "pray, pray!"
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, pray for us!

Supreme Court of Mississippi
May 10, 2018
D. W. CALDWELL, INC.v.W.G. YATES & SONS CONSTRUCTION COMPANY
This Court adheres to the widely recognized standards
providing for a trial court's amendment of an arbitration
award under limited conditions. Importantly, those standards
provide that a court may modify an arbitrator's award to
correct an evident miscalculation of figures before entering
its judgment. See Miss. Code Ann. § 11-15-135
(Rev. 2004). However, this Court has yet to determine what
qualifies as an evident miscalculation and to what
extent a judge may inquire to determine whether such a
miscalculation exists.
Through the analysis below, we find first that the
miscalculations alleged in this matter are not evident from
the award itself, nor are they apparent from the agreed-upon
record. Additionally, we find that the judge erred when he
allowed the parties to present witness testimony regarding
the extent of any alleged miscalculations, rather than
relying on the award and the arbitration record as the
relevant law suggests. Finding error, we reverse the circuit
court's decision and remand this case to the circuit
court with directions to confirm the December 8, 2015,
arbitration award. Furthermore, because the subcontract
between the parties provides that each contractor will be
responsible for his own fees and costs, the Court declines to
assess costs to one party over the other, and instead,
enforces their bargained-for agreement.
Yates Construction, LLC, and D.W. Caldwell, Inc., entered
into a construction sub- contract for the roof installation
on a residential dormitory at Auburn University in Auburn,
Alabama. Caldwell-the roofing subcontractor-began work on the
roof in October 2012. Early on, Caldwell employees identified
structural issues with the building, preventing the company
from moving forward with the roof installation. Caldwell
notified Yates of the issues, and after some discussion about
the repairs needed, Caldwell agreed to repair the building
prior to installing the roof. Rather than amending the
existing subcontract or creating a new contract for the
repair expenses, Yates urged Caldwell to bill against
"unperformed work" for those costs related to the
extra work completed. Although the arrangement was
unconventional, Caldwell orally agreed to the billing scheme,
requiring that it be paid weekly, on a "cost plus
overhead and profit basis."
When Caldwell completed both the repairs and the roof
installation, it had yet to receive total payment for the
structural repairs. The companies disputed the scope and
expense of these repairs and quickly negotiated their way to
an impasse. Thereafter, Caldwell filed a claim against Yates
for causing delay and increased costs by failing to pay for
work performed, which was in breach of the agreements between
the parties.
The parties proceeded to arbitration. Although the
arbitration record was neither recorded nor transcribed, the
parties concede that the arbitrator considered arguments,
reviewed evidence, and heard witness testimony over the
course of three days. He then reopened the proceedings for
additional documentation, before issuing his thirteen-page
award on December 8, 2015. Shortly thereafter, Yates timely
filed its motion for clarification and/or correction of the
arbitration award, which was summarily dismissed by the
arbitrator. Noting that the award included no clerical,
typographical, technical, or computational errors, the
arbitrator determined he lacked the authority to re-evaluate
the merits of any claim already decided, under the
Within two weeks of the arbitrator's decision to deny
Yates's motion, Caldwell requested that the circuit court
confirm the award under Mississippi Code Section 11-15-125.
One month later, Yates moved the trial court to alter, amend,
or vacate the award under Mississippi Code Section
11-15-25.[1] With the understanding that Yates would
provide oral argument on its motion at the award confirmation
hearing, Caldwell filed a request to limit the presentation
of proof before the circuit court.
The hearing on all three motions was held on December 1,
2016. The circuit court judge began by requesting arguments
on Caldwell's motion to limit proof. Throughout the
presentations, the court asked questions of the parties'
representatives and heard arguments on several issues under
discussion. Believing that an evident miscalculation was
present as it related to the retainage amounts[2] included in both
the subcontract and the final award, the court overruled
Caldwell's request to limit proof and permitted the
parties to proceed on Yates's motion to alter, amend, or
vacate the arbitration award. During this second phase of the
hearing, the trial court allowed the parties to introduce
evidence and witness testimony. Though Caldwell's
attorneys objected on the basis of whether such evidence was
on the record during the arbitration and whether such
testimony was considered by the arbitrator in his ultimate
decision, the court allowed counsel for Yates to continue
with his witness examination and evidence presentation.
Ultimately, the trial court reviewed fourteen exhibits and
the testimony of one witness in making its decision. Based on
this evidence, the court issued its order modifying the
arbitrator's award on January 10, 2017. Under Mississippi
Code Section 11-15-135 and the Federal Arbitration Act, the
court determined that the award contained a "facially
evident miscalculation which permitted . . . Caldwell to
receive double payment." Finding that the arbitrator had
duplicated the labor costs for shingle installation in its
award-once under the original subcontract and once under the
oral agreement to repair the structural damage (referred to
as the Repair Agreement)-it amended the award, reducing the
total by $104, 507.
On appeal, Caldwell argues that the trial court erred when it
denied the motion to limit proof and allowed Yates to present
evidence and witness testimony. Caldwell also contends that
the trial court erred in finding that the arbitrator's
award contained a facially evident miscalculation. We agree.
Based on the analysis below, this Court finds that the
arbitrator's award contained no evident miscalculations
which would merit modification. Moreover, the circuit court
erred by allowing Yates to present witnesses before the
court. Therefore, we reverse the decision of the Neshoba
County Circuit Court and remand for the court to confirm the
arbitration award.
This matter involves a contract's choice-of-law provision
and the applicability of federal and state statutes, as well
as trade-association regulations. Caldwell (a Georgia-based
company) and Yates (a Mississippi corporation) entered into a
subcontract in Mississippi to be performed in Alabama. It is
undisputed that, between the two companies, their employees,
and their distributors, both labor and materials crossed
state lines. Unquestionably, these facts affect interstate
commerce, creating the need to continue under the mandate of
the Federal Arbitration Act. See 9 U.S.C.A.
§§ 1, 2. Therefore, Yates correctly argues that the
Federal Arbitration Act applies to this matter. See MS
Credit Ctr., Inc. v. Horton, 926 So.2d 167, 173
(Miss. 2006) (quoting Guinness Harp Corp. v. Jos.
Schlitz Brewing Co., 613 F.2d 468 (2d Cir. 1980)
(requiring that "[w]hen a commercial transaction
involving interstate commerce includes an agreement to
arbitrate disputes, federal law controls the
enforcement of the arbitration agreement."
(emphasis added))).
However, "[w]here . . . parties have agreed to abide by
state arbitration rules, enforcing those rules according to
the terms of the agreement is fully consistent with the FAA .
. .". Volt Info. Sci., Inc. v. Bd. of Tr. of Leland
Stanford Junior Univ., 489 U.S. 468, 469 (1989), 109
S.Ct. 1248, 1250, 103 L.Ed.2d 488 (United States Supreme
Court determined that the parties' contractual agreement
to pursue arbitration under their state rules of arbitration
was not preempted by the Federal Arbitration Act when those
rules did not "undermine the goals and policies of the
FAA.") Article XIV of the parties' subcontract,
titled "Dispute Resolution, " begins as follows:
This Subcontract shall be deemed entered into in
Philadelphia, Mississippi, upon execution by the parties. The
laws of the state of Mississippi govern this Subcontract . .
. .
the FAA applies directly to the matter, the parties knowingly
and willingly contracted for the laws of this state to govern
any disputes related to their agreement. Furthermore, neither
party objected to the role of Mississippi law in the
contract, nor did either insist on adherence to the FAA prior
to the arbitration award's disclosure. Because this Court
previously has provided that parties may limit contractually
the issues which they will arbitrate (see Doe v. Hallmark
Partners, LP, 227 So.3d 1052, 1055 (Miss. 2017)), this
Court will not hesitate to extend that provision-as the
United States Supreme Court has-to allow parties to specify
by contract the laws and rules under which that arbitration
will be conducted. After all, "[a]rbitration under the
Act is a matter of consent, not coercion, and parties are
generally free to structure their arbitration agreements as
they see fit." Volt Info. Sci., Inc.,
489 U.S. at 479, 109 S.Ct. at 1250, 103 L.Ed.2d 488.
Based on their agreement, the parties' intent to proceed
under Mississippi law is clear, and this Court therefore will
apply the same. As a result, we continue our analysis under
the provisions in Mississippi Code Sections 11-15-101 through
143. Titled "Arbitration of Controversies Arising from
Construction Contracts and Related Agreements, " this
section of Mississippi's Arbitration Act applies "to
any agreement for the . . . engineering, construction,
erection, repair or alteration of any building, structure,
fixture, . . . or any part thereof . . . ". Miss. Code
Ann. § 11-15-101 (Rev. 2004). Because the underlying
dispute concerns the installation of a roof and a subcontract
between two contractors, the laws under this section control
the discussion below.
Whether the trial court erred in finding that the
arbitrator's award contained an
"evident miscalculation" of figures, justifying the
award's modification.
A defining characteristic of arbitration is its finality and
the binding disposition of a controversy. See Schaefer v.
Allstate Ins. Co.,63 Ohio St.3d 708, 590 N.E.2d 1242
(1992). Parties to an arbitration enter the process knowing
that the arbitrator's award will signal the factual end
of their dispute, rather than leaving open the door to the
possibility of future appeals. With this in mind, courts
asked to review, confirm, or modify an arbitrator's award
do so through an extremely limited lens. See Wilson v.
Greyhound Bus Lines, Inc.,830 So.2d 1151, 1155 (Miss.
2002). In this regard, "[t]he scope of judicial review
of an arbitration award is quite narrow, and 'every
reasonable presumption will be indulged in favor of the
validity of arbitration proceedings."' Id.
(quoting Craig v. Barber, 524 So.2d 974, 977 (Miss.
1988)) (see also Hutto v. Jordan,36 So.2d 809, 811
(Miss. 1948)). Specifically, judicial review of an

There were some very angry New Jersey Devils' fans on Sunday night and it may be that they are going to get even angrier today.
On Sunday night the Devils were facing off against the Winnipeg Jets at the MTS Center in Winnipeg, Manitoba and unfortunately for the Devils the game did not go the way they had foreseen. By the time it was all said and done the Jets had put up 5 goals on goaltender Cory Schneider who only managed to stop 23 of the 28 shots fired his way for a save percentage of .821 on the night. It was a frustrating night for Schneider and by extension Devils fans who have seen their number one goaltender look shaky over the past several games, but that wasn't the real reason they were up in arms.
Neither Scheider's recent strings of poor performances nor the loss are what truly grated on Devils fans last night, instead it was a massive hit delivered to beloved National Hockey League veteran Brian Boyle that really riled up the fan base. Boyle was absolutely leveled during the game by a massive hit from Winnipeg Jets defenseman Dustin Byfuglien, inarguably one of the most physically dominant players in the entire NHL. Now Boyle is no small man himself so some of the outrage likely stems from the fact that Devils' fans were surprised to see one of their tougher veterans get leveled by such a hit.
The real outrage however stems from whether or not you believe that the hit from Byfuglien targetted the head of Boyle. Now to be fair to Byfuglien he is a massive mountain of a man so even at the best of times his body is going to cover significantly more surface area on a body check than a body check from an average NHL player would, but in spite of that it did not like he made contact with Boyle's head. To be clear Byfuglien did appear to drive the hit through the shoulder as well, but based on the replays for the MSG Network it does look like there was head contact.
The Devils obviously wants the NHL's Department of Player Safety to investigate the hit, and you can tell that the Devils broadcast was furious about the body check, but there's been no indication thus far that the hit will be reviewed.

Top ranked girls from Greece and Israel win with OTZ bands on their racquets
02/08/09- Winchester, VA:
Own the Zone Sporting Goods, LLC reported that its OTZ band vibration dampeners were used this past week by several top players at the Junior Fed Cup for Girls 16 and under tournament in Kfar Saba, Israel. This was a highly competitive group with Israel, Ukraine, Russia, France Greece, Turkey and the Czech Republic competing to qualify for the final round.
"Coaches and players from the various teams received OTZ bands and showed great interest in our dampener," said Julius Stockfish, co- President of Own the Zone. Before the teams took the court the #1 seed from Greece, Despoina Papamichail, had already tied a green OTZ band to her racquet and was wearing an OTZ band on her wrist. She did some hitting with the band on her racquet and said she was ready to play with the OTZ band in her next match."
Despoina Papamichail from Greece playing for the first time with an OTZ band edged # 2 seed Solene Ficheux of France 6:2, 2:6, 6:4. Liat Zimmerman ranked #1 for Israel and playing with a green OTZ band defeated #1 seed Teresa Smitkova of the Czech Republic 3:6 6:4 6:2. Liat has been playing with OTZ bands for more than a year.
Qualifying group winners Ukraine and Russia will be joined by teams from Hungary, Slovak Republic, Romania, Belarus, Croatia and Germany at the final rounds of the Helvetie Cup from 03-05 August in Leysin, Switzerland.
"We were very fortunate to get the bands to various teams on the last day of the tournament," said David Marcus, Co-President of the Own the Zone. "The fact that these top seeded girls played and won with OTZ bands is very exciting. OTZ bands are quite popular with Junior players worldwide as indicated by our 2009 sales."

Sabi ko na nga ba e. Hindi ako SMART.
After having getting my phone line disconnected, I immediately went to the nearest SMART wireless center to pay my dues and shove at SMART's ass that I can pay them my overdue amount of 500 big ones.
I didn't have my account number with me, nor did I have my billing statement (hence not knowing that I was already overdue) - so I just gave them my phone number. Apparently, the phone number I knew was not mine. I have been giving out the wrong number to people in my email correspondences, and perhaps egroups. Yaiks!
So to all, my apologies for giving out the wrong number. And much more so to the owner of the number I have been giving. I'm sure those pesky foreigner suppliers of ours must have had a field day looking for me.

Indy Eleven 2 : 0 Ottawa Fury FC | Saturday, September 11
A brace from Indy Eleven defender Ayoze powered the Boys in Blue past Ottawa Fury FC 2-0 at home on September 11. The first meeting saw Indiana's Team kept its net clear once again, recording the team's 10th clean sheets at home in 15 games, with their most recent clean sheet coming against Ottawa.

Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC 3 : 0 Indy Eleven | Saturday, September 28
Indy Eleven couldn't cool off the recent red-hot form of Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC last Saturday at Highmark Stadium, falling 3-0 in their battle for first place in the USL Championship Eastern Conference. Indy nearly took an early lead after forward Dane Kelly struck the post in the fourth minute, but a strike from Pittsburgh's Neco Brett and a brace from Kenardo Forbes sealed the deal for the home side.
#PITvIND: Highlights | Recap | Stats
North Carolina FC 3 : 1 Ottawa Fury FC | Saturday, September 28
Ottawa Fury FC lost for the first time in two matches, snapping the two-game winning streak the team carried into North Carolina. NCFC was able to find the back of the net three times after Ottawa's Thiago opened the scoring in the fourth minute of the match. The three goals allowed by the Canadian club mark the fourth time in 2019 the side has given up three goals or more.
#NCvOTT: Highlights | Recap | Stats
The first meeting between the two sides in the 2019 USL Championship season took place on September 11 and resulted in a 2-0 victory for Indy Eleven, courtesy of a brace from defender Ayoze. The clubs finished their 2019 season series on Wednesday night.
Indy Eleven dropped the season series against Ottawa in its first USL Championship campaign last season, losing 0-1 at Lucas Oil Stadium on July 4, 2018, followed by a nil-nil away draw on August 18.
Wednesday night reunites Indy Eleven and Ottawa Fury FC, who were "Class of 2014" mates when they entered the North American Soccer League together six seasons ago.
The Canadian club has long been a thorn in the side of Indiana's Team, which owns a 3W-6L-3D mark all-time in regular season action against Fury FC.
Last year's Independence Day loss to Ottawa was the last loss suffered at Lucas Oil Stadium by Indy Eleven, which has since set a new home undefeated streak club record at 23 games and counting, eclipsing the previous record set from 2015-17 by two matches so far.
Wednesday night's match is the final game in hand on the rest of the Eastern Conference for Indy Eleven this season.
The loss to Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC is the first time in the 2019 USL Championship season that Indiana's Team has lost three games in a row. It is also the first time this campaign the Boys in Blue have given up three goals in a match.
Despite dropping the last three games, Indy's defense throughout the 2019 season has been strong, as side has allowed the second fewest goals across the league at 26 goals. Indiana's Team has also recorded 12 clean sheets thus far, tied for the fourth most across the league and tied for third in the Eastern Conference.
Forward Cristian Novoa has begun accruing more and more minutes since arriving to the Circle City mid-August. The 28-year-old native of Caracas, Venezuela, had been a target of Head Coach Martin Rennie's since the start of the 2019 campaign. Halfway through the season, Rennie was able to get his man and he's slowly integrated himself into the squad, making five appearances, three of which have been starts.
The forward has managed to record only three shots, two of which he placed on target, but expect Novoa to find his form in front of the net quickly as he slowly acclimates to life with Indiana's Team. Novoa has netted 44 times in his career as a professional and has the potential to add more against an Ottawa defense that surrendered three goals in their last match.
Midfielder Kevin Oliveira has been an integral part of the Ottawa Fury FC midfielder this season, making 27 starts in 29 appearances for his club. The Cape Verde native's ability to transition into several different positions makes him a versatile asset, but can most commonly be found at the top of a 4-3-3, helping push his side up the field.
Oliveira only totaled 16 minutes in the loss to North Carolina FC on Saturday, meaning he will most likely start against Indy. The 23-year-old has the ability to score and create, as the forward has scored five goals and created four throughout his 2019 USL Championship campaign.
Indiana's Team will finish a four-game, 13-day road swing Wednesday evening when the club travels across the northern border to face Ottawa Fury FC. The second meeting in three weeks' time between the "Class of 2014" rivals kicks off at TD Place Stadium at 7:00 p.m.
Indy Eleven will finally return home next Saturday, Oct. 5, when it hosts expansion side Memphis 901 FC for a 7:00 p.m. ET contest. Tickets and full details on Indy Eleven's "Fall Fest" themed evening at Lucas Oil Stadium – where the Boys in Blue will look to continue their club-record 23-game home undefeated streak – can be found at indyeleven.com/promotions.

When I finally made my way back to Vancouver for a visit, it basically became my mission to make contact with Karen of Blue Heron Cheese so that I could find out what all the cheezy buzz was all about. What ended up was basically pure magic. Not only did I meet Karen and eat her cheese, I also got to spend several hours (basically the whole day) with Karen and the ZenD Lounge team (where Karen is executive chef) eating, chatting and diving deep into conscious conversation. I always say that one of my most favourite things to do when I get to a city is to explore (or in this case re-explore) the conscious businesses and plant-powered food spots. Although I was able to visit ZenD several months ago when I was last in Vancouver- I didn't get to truly experience the magic until my visit last week.
After contacting Karen (after finding out about her amazing monthly cheese subscription in Vancouver) she quickly (literally, within 5 minutes) got back to me to invite me to Zend Lounge to meet her and eat some of their delicious creations. Of course, how could I say no. So, one afternoon last week my friend Mel and I arrived at the sliding door of Zend only to be greeted warmly by new manager and beautiful lady, Ashleigh. Two and a half hours later we left with full bellies and full hearts.
Steve, The Inspiring Man Behind the Project
There are a lot of beautiful reasons why Zend is such a wonderful place. Owner, Steve Curtis, is quite an inspiring young man (hint: he's climbed Mount Everest!) and funnily enough we both attended the Summit at Sea conference- which furthered the reason why I absolutely had to go for a visit. Steve is a true believer in natural medicine and at the young age of 19 he started Zag Group, an international consumer products company with the purpose of innovating to enhance the way people enjoy their lives. In 2005, Steve was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, and in his typical curious and re-search minded way- he focused all of his energy into healing his body through natural medicine.
Kava Kava
This is also when Steve became well-acquainted with Kava, a traditional herb from the South Pacific Islands, which Steve now swears by and has dedicated his life and work to spreading awareness about globally. Kava, for those of you who don't know, is a root, that is traditionally used by Islanders as a medicine and in ceremonies for centuries. Brewed as a tea, kava has a calming effect, producing brain wave changes similar to changes that occur with calming medicines such as Valium and anti-anxiety medications. Kava is not addictive and there is research supporting it's effectiveness with muscle relaxation.
It's no surprise that Zend Lounge carries a variety of kava kava beverages, including their signature Zend blend, which you can not only order at the restaurant, you can also buy bottles of (think wine bottles) to go and enjoy at home with your people. The concept behind Zend is purely around creating a unique space where people can enjoy organic, vegan (and raw) food and non-alcoholic beverages at any time of the day and feel completely satisfied. Zend has truly created a communal atmosphere, with large booth style tables and a lot of opportunities to connect and dive deep into spiritual conversation, thanks to the Zend cards (think table conscious table topics).
So, as you can tell- a lot of thought and attention has been put into creating a space that is meaningful. As if it was not already enough, Steve Curtis has created a not-for-profit business model, and 100% of Zend profits go towards charities, which are selected every month (feel free to suggest a charity you know and love). More so, every Tuesday, Zend opens their doors to "Zend Talks", where a local speaker from the community comes in to discuss their passions and expertise to the masses (fellow Holistic Nutritionist and Meditator Master, Larry Li is one of the many amazing speakers). Again, it is all about increasing awareness and supporting conscious conversation and connection.
The Food
Ok, let's get to the goods. The food. First off, wow. Taking one glance at the menu, you can tell that there is a lot of finesse and creative innovation that takes place in it's development. Concepts such as seasonal and local are absolutely considered, and as I mentioned, you will be wowed at any time of the day. The incredible brunch menu (which I have yet to try but look forward to soon) is served till 2pm and includes items such a buckwheat pancakes, matcha crepes, a sunchoke and potato rosti benny, a featured quiche (we had and it was amazing) and more.
Mel and I were excited to sample the day menu, starting out with the amazing quiche plate. The featured quiche was a sunchoke and roasted yam quiche and it came with a vegan house-made sausage (beet, black bean and sage sausage), vegan bbq sauce, orange marmalade, coconut butter, gluten-free bread (so good) and sliced avocado. This was a true party in your mouth- and would absolutely please a carnivore in your group. The coconut butter on the gluten-free bread with the marmalade was seriously to die for.
Our next stop on the menu included a favourite (and must have at any vegan spot): The Kale Caeser. This delicious caeser salad made with oat cheese parmesan crisps, garlic amaranth croutons, and a garlicky avocado dressing. We devoured this. Being holistic nutritionists, we are quite the kale salad snobs- and it's not everyday that we give the kale salad our stamp of approval.
The tacos, was probably our favourite of all the courses. These "defried beans" raw tacos were so special. Made with a completely raw (dehydrated) "shell" that was the perfect texture (not too hard, not too soft) and contained the inner defried beans, pico de gallo and cashew queso. All I'm going to say, is that you've got to go and try these yourself.
To our surprise (and our bellies' shock) Karen came sliding out of the kitchen carrying another plate of food. Thank goodness this wasn't my first rodeo and I skipped breakfast. This was probably the most creative and interesting of all the dishes. It was a featured Sweet Potato Noodles in a kale mint pesto, topped with a really delicious and earthy celeriac puree. I was very intrigued by this dish and although surprised by the flavours, truly enjoyed it. A wonderful winter dish with the addition of the delicious and creamy celeriac puree.
Last and certainly not least, the Coffee Cheesecake. This precious raw vegan cheesecake tart had the creamiest coffee filling and was topped with a delicious coconut cream and dark chocolate sauce with additional orange notes. Despite being completely satiated, Mel and I inhaled this dessert within minutes of it appearing on our table, thanks to Chef Karen's attention to taste and plant-based detail. Yum.
We finished the incredible meal off with a shot of the ZEND blend kava as well as a blended elixir of a kava smoothie. As you can tell from Mels' expression, we truly loved it, all. What's wonderful about the kava experience is that you can ask for a kava beverage that is tailored to your current needs (energising, calming, focused, etc.). Just ask your server for guidance!
The Cheeze
As if this was not beyond enough, Karen sent me home with samples of her monthly vegan cheese subscription, which today included:
A semi-soft single cultured almond, garlic and caper cheese
A smoked cashew cheddar
A coconut & almond blue cheese (aged 2 months)
By the way, I have started calling Karen the Vegan Cheese Queen/Master. I am sure you can assume why.
The rest I will leave to your own curiosity. I highly recommend a visit (or two, or three, or four) so you can truly understand and absorb what is going on inside the doors of Zend Lounge. Also, if you are interested in joining Karen's Blue Heron Cheese monthly vegan cheeze subscription, shoot her an email at: email@example.com.
You can find out what Zend is up to through their website, Facebook page, Instagram and Twitter.

When you work in an industry that deals with industrial blending, you need to be sure that you have the right industrial machines for the job. If you are just starting out in the business, you may not yet know what the right machines for the tasks are. Just mixing things together is not enough. You might be under the impression that any industrial blender is going to do the job.
You might think that the common ribbon blender is the best of all the industrial blending machines on the market. While it is true that they are the most commonly used, they are right only for what they are right for. You might need a rotary blender or a cone blender depending on what materials you are blending. If you are not sure, you will need to check with the experts.
The ribbon blender is so commonly used because it is very thorough and precise for many materials. If you happen to be blending those materials that are on the list for ribbon blenders, that is what you will need to get. Only the experts really know. If you happen to be an expert in industrial blenders, then you do not need any special help with getting the right machines.
On the other hand, if you are just starting out in the industry that you have chosen, you do not want to make the mistake of getting the wrong kind of industrial machine for the job. Go online and find a good company that deals with all types of blending machines so you can find what is right for the materials that you are needing to blend.
When you think about it, this is going to be a big investment and there is no margin for error. Get with a good blending machine company right away.

Our Animals - Aoudad (Barbary Sheep)
Our Animals > Aoudad
The Barbary Sheep, Ammotragus lervia, is a species of caprid (goat-antelope) native to rocky mountains in North Africa. Six subspecies have been described. Although it is rare in its native North Africa, it has been introduced to North America, southern Europe and elsewhere.
Natural range
Barbary Sheep are found naturally in northern Africa in Algeria, Tunisia, northern Chad, Egypt, Libya, northern Mali, Mauritania, Morocco (including Western Sahara), Niger and Sudan (west of the Nile and east of the Nile in the Red Sea Hills)[4].
Introduced populations
Barbary Sheep have been introduced to southeastern Spain and southwestern United States (on La Escalera Ranch, Guadalupe Mountains National Park, and other parts of Texas, New Mexico, and California) and Mexico and to some parts of Africa.
Barbary sheep have become common in a limited region of the south-east of Spain, since its introduction in 1970 to Sierra Espuña [Regional park] as a game species. Its adaptability enabled it to colonise nearby areas quickly, and private game estates provided other centers of dispersion. The species is currently expanding, according to recent field surveys, now being found in the provinces of Alicante, Almería, Granada and Murcia.[5] This species is a potential competitor to native ungulates inhabiting the Iberian Peninsula. The species has also been introduced to La Palma (Canary Islands), and has spread throughout the northern and central parts of the island, where it is a serious threat to endemic vegetation.
The subspecies are found allopatrically in various parts of North Africa:[4]
Barbary Sheep are found in arid mountainous areas where they graze and browse grass, bushes and lichens. They are able to obtain all their moisture from food, but if liquid water is available they drink it and wallow in it. Barbary Sheep are crepuscular: active in the early morning and late afternoon and resting in the heat of the day. They are very agile and can achieve a standing jump of over 2 metres (7 ft). Barbary Sheep are usually solitary, and freeze in the presence of danger. Their main predators in North Africa are leopard and caracal.

1.5 million people still face acute food security Crisis or worse in Somalia despite improvements
294 000 children are acutely malnourished
September 2, 2018, Mogadishu/Washington – Despite improvements, there are pressing humanitarian needs in Somalia according to findings from the post-Gu seasonal assessment conducted across Somalia in June and July 2018. Assessment results indicate food security has continued to improve due to average to above average rainfall between April and June that contributed to seasonal improvements to food and income sources and market conditions and the positive impacts of sustained and large-scale humanitarian assistance. Forecast average to above average Deyr (October-December 2018) rains, off-season harvest and favorable market conditions are expected to contribute to further improvements in the overall foods security condition between now and December 2018. However, acute food insecurity is prevalent among populations who lost most of their animals and who became destitute during the 2016-2017 severe drought, those affected by flooding in April and May 2018 and others who were affected by large-scale and protracted displacement due to a combination of conflict and natural hazards. These population groups are expected to face large food consumption gaps and need humanitarian assistance to prevent further deterioration of their food security and nutrition situation. This seasonal assessment was jointly led by the Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit for Somalia (FSNAU, a project managed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations), and the Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET, a project funded by USAID) and carried out with the active participation of Government institutions and other partners.
The 2018 Gu rains started early or on time and amounts were average to above average in most areas and slightly below average to near average in the northeast. Low-lying areas along Shabelle and Juba rivers and other depressed areas were affected by river and flash floods. 2018 Gu is the wettest season in nearly two decades; favorable rainfall during the 2018 Gu season has helped end drought conditions that persisted since 2016 Gu. Favorable rainfall has improved availability of pasture and water for livestock and normal livestock migration possibilities across most parts of the country. As a result, livestock production, herd sizes and milk availability have also improved. Food access among pastoralists in many areas improved in the first half of 2018 due to increased terms of trade between livestock and cereals. However, the adverse impacts of the 2016-2017 severe drought persist, especially among pastoralists who lost most of their animals and among people who became destitute and were displaced.
In southern Somalia the 2018 Gu season cereal production is estimated at 147 200 tonnes, including 7 200 tonnes off-season harvest expected in October. This level of production is 17 percent higher than the long-term average (1995-2017) and 58 percent more than the five-year average (2013-17). The 2017 Gu/Karan cereal production in northwest, expected to be harvested in November, has been affected by erratic rainfall and is estimated at 19 000 tonnes, which is 58 percent lower than the average for 2010-17. Poor households in the crop-dependent Northwest Agropastoral livelihood zone and some parts of southern Somalia (mainly riverine) currently have little or no food stocks and limited farm labor opportunities due to low production and the extended lean season.
Data from OCHA indicates that the current total population of IDPs across Somalia is 2.6 million. Most of the 13 main settlements for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) have been classified as Crisis (IPC Phase 3). Bossasso IDP settlement that has experienced extreme food security and nutrition outcomes has been classified as Emergency (IPC Phase 4). Most rural and urban parts of Somalia are currently in Stressed (IPC Phase 2) or Minimal (IPC Phase 1), partly due to sustained humanitarian intervention that contributed to improved food security and nutrition outcomes. According to the Somalia Food Security Cluster, emergency humanitarian assistance reached 1.9 million people a month between February and July 2018.
A recent forecast issued by the Greater Horn of Africa Climate Outlook Forum (GHACOF50), indicates a greater likelihood of normal to above normal 2018 Deyr (October-December) rains across Somalia. As a result, pasture and water availability, crop cultivation, livestock reproduction, access to agricultural employment, water and food prices are expected to continue to improve through late 2018. However, the expected average to above average rains may also cause flooding in some low-lying and riverine areas.
In the absence of humanitarian assistance, food security outcomes are expected to deteriorate to Emergency (IPC Phase 4) in Guban Pastoral livelihood zone and to Crisis (JPC Phase 3) in Northern Inland Pastoral of Sool and Sanaag regions. In summary, over 1.5 million people will face Crisis or worse (IPC Phases 3 or higher) 1 between now and December 2018 which represents a significant improvement in the overall food security situation in Somalia compared to the 2.7 million people projected to be in Crisis (IPC Phase 3) or worse between February and June 2018. Through December 2018, an additional 3.1 million people are classified as Stressed (IPC Phase 2), which brings the total number of people facing acute food insecurity across Somalia to 4.6 million.
Results from 30 separate nutrition surveys conducted by FSNAU and partners between in June and July 2018 indicate that the overall nutrition situation in Somalia has continued to improve due to a combination of improved food security conditions, reduced outbreak of diseases and sustained humanitarian interventions. However, high level of acute malnutrition tends to persist in several population groups due to underlying/structural causes. The overall, level of acute malnutrition at national level has improved to Serious (5-9.9% Global Acute Malnutrition-GAM) in the current 2018 Gu 2018 (median GAM of 14.0%) from Critical in 2017 Gu (median GAM of 17.4%). There are no improvement in the overall current acute malnutrition prevalence compared to 2017/18 Deyr (median GAM of 13.8%). GAM prevalence is Critical (15-29.9%) in 12 out of 33 populations surveyed. Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) prevalence is Critical (≥4-5.6) only among Mogadishu Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) settlement and in Guban pastoral livelihood. Crude Death Rate (CDR) is Critical (1 to <2/10 000/day) in 3 out of 33 population groups surveyed. Morbidity rates remain high (>20 %) in many parts of the country. Accordingly, between August and December 2018 an estimated 294 200 children will likely face acute malnutrition, including 55 200 who are likely to be severely malnourished (total acute malnutrition burden).
Most of the 13 main IDP settlements are classified as Crisis (IPC Phase 3) between now and the end of 2018. Declining food prices and increased employment opportunities have improved food security situation in most urban areas, including those that have experienced trade disruptions due to insecurity. However, some urban areas in the north and southern Somalia affected by depreciation of the local currency and flooding are classified as Crisis (IPC Phase 3).
Urgent treatment and nutrition support is needed for approximately 294 200 acutely malnourished children, including 55 200 who severely malnourished between now and December 2018. Integrated support interventions should be sustained to maintain recent improvements as well as prevent further deterioration in the nutrition situation. Over 1.5 million people facing acute food security Crisis (IPC Phase 3) or worse need urgent humanitarian assistance and livelihood support between now and December 2018.
Livelihood support is also required for 3.1 million people who are Stressed (IPC Phase 2)
Areas and Populations of Concern Populations groups classified as Crisis (IPC Phase) or worse require interventions aimed at reducing food consumption gaps, reducing acute malnutrition, saving lives and protecting and saving livelihoods.
The following populations considered hotspots in need of urgent nutrition and health support interventions. They have Critical prevalence of acute malnutrition (≥15% GAM) or 10.7 percent or more of children have Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) below the 125 millimeters (mm) threshold:
Rural Livelihoods: Northern Inland Pastoral of Northeast, Hawd Pastoral of Northeast, Northwest Guban Pastoral, North Gedo Riverine , Beletweyne District (Reverine & Agro-pastoral), South Gedo Agro-pastoral, South Gedo Riverine, Mataban, Jalalaqsi and Bulobute districts of Hiran Region, Juba Riverine
IDP Populations: Bosaaso, Garowe, Galkacyo; Qardho, Mogadishu; Baidoa, Kismayo and Dolow FSNAU and FEWS NET will continue to monitor conditions and outcomes and report on the situation. All information will be made available through www.fsnau.org and www.fews.net.

Short term view - more upside expected after short living pullback.
Intermediate term view - intermediate term will be more clear in week or two.
As I wrote the traders was not scared enough to see a bottom, but three day push lower has done the job. FOMC nailed the reversal... again, why do we use other indicators when FOMC is always the reversal point:) The week did not give us the answer which scenario will play out... will just follow the market and with the strong move from the bottom SP500 will probably make ATH for DJ it is not sure.
The two scenarios which I see are - more bullish one we saw 20 week cycle low and another 3-5 weeks higher probably to 1800 before significant correction, more bearish this was just 20 day cycle low and this move will not last very long before it reverses. How to make the difference - there is more upside in the next days but the bearish scenario should top around 17 or short after that. If this move keeps moving higher the week after next the bullish scenario has higher probability. See the daily and cycle charts how the two scenarios should look like.
I am leaning more to the bearish scenario because I think important events(the debt ceiling) does not happen in the middle of a move rather they are top or bottom, the big boys use them to buy cheap/sell high and after months of a topping process am skeptical of the indexes blasting higher for a month or two.
Of course I can not prove or guarantee this so we should stay bullish but cautious until we see evidence for something bearish.
Short term - more upside probably after short living pullback... I do not see a reversal in the next 2-3 days.
Intermediate term - the lower wedge line was breached and we must exclude the candle's shadows to redraw it again, but I think it was fake break out. Green the bullish scenario and red the bearish one. The MACD divergence does not look good. Even if the bullish scenario plays out I think we will see another MACD lower high and significant correction will follow.
- Momentum Histogram/RSI - momentum has turned up short term trend is up.
Long term - MACD is struggling not to break its trend line... the bulls should master strong rally to negate all divergences.
- Momentum Histogram/RSI - momentum is trying to turn up...
The Market Breadth Indicators - are not very helpful at the moment. The big picture says the same - multiple divergences the indexes are topping.
McClellan Oscillator - moving up after oversold levels.
McClellan Summation Index - sell signal with double divergence.
Weekly Stochastic of the Summation Index - sell signal.
Bullish Percentage - sell signal with double divergence.
Percent of Stocks above MA50 - another lower high?
Fear Indicator VXO - another higher low and double divergence?
Issues Advancing - nothing interesting.
Here are the two alternate scenarios. We can not say which one is the right one, or I do not know, I am not an expert:)
The first chart the bullish one - we saw 20 week cycle low and move higher for several weeks should follow.
What bothers me with this scenario - you have the first two 20 week cycles moving higher, the third one moving sideways making the transition from up to down for the 18 month cycle and than the last 20 week cycle moving up again!!??!! It does not make sense at all... move now to the weekly chart it continues there:)
On this chart the 20 week cycle does not look finished. You can say we have very short 40 day cycle or we have 20 day cycle several days longer than the average one. If I go back through the chart I see both cases occur equally often..... and I can not say which one is more probable.
Now look back the previous three 18 month cycles - even with the very strong bull market, which we have since 2009, the last 20 week cycle was always down twice really very hard 15%-20% down and ones milder but 9 of 11 weeks down. Why the difference? - the first two 18 month cycles have started very strong, moving higher and higher with no correction, that leads to too much greed and such moves finish with sharp correction, which is very common in a bull market. The third one was interrupted twice from corrections and was moving more sideways - no excessive greed. Compare with the current one which case do we have? Why should this time be different?
Tom Demark SEQUENTIAL AND COUNTDOWN - this technique spots areas of exhaustion.
Nothing interesting on the daily chart price flips on both directions. The weekly chart is interesting the setup is still in tact at 5 now. If the bullish scenario plays out it will be finished and we should follow it closely.
