The market this past week was reminiscent of my ride on the roller coaster at Coney Island in Brooklyn, N.Y., when I was a youngster. Markets are both anticipatory and responsive.
Any time a change, whether perceived or real, in either supply or demand is added to the formula, an imbalance occurs. That imbalance is what fundamentally moves markets. Of course, the ball is then picked up by the technicians who proceed to exacerbate the particular direction by adding an inordinate volume of trades on one side or the other. Contrarian traders tend to watch for such extremes and attempt to take advantage of them on a trading basis. How to identify extremes is a complicated procedure that weighs all the evidence as exemplified by current known data and directional momentum, adding probabilities, and making an educated determination of the next potential directional move.
One major factor, which has emerged of late, is the impact of the U.S. Federal Reserve on all aspects of human life on the planet. If in fact, the direction of a futures contract is determined by the underlying cash price for a commodity, and the direction of the cash price of that commodity is determined by the interest rate. It makes no sense to me to chart the futures contract. It would make more sense to chart the direction of the rate. In other words, the tail does not wag the dog. Since at this moment in time, and for the foreseeable future, the action of the Federal Reserve will determine the direction of rates as dictated by the condition of the economy. The direction of the U.S. as the most prominent consuming nation in the world also determines the economic activity of our trading partners. Currently, markets are directed to some extent to the ongoing debt crisis in Europe and the real possibility of a breakup of the Eurozone currency.
In recognizing the role the Federal Reserve plays in the overall picture of international industrial and economic health, one must try to analyze the probability of their next action. The impact of their actions on the U.S. dollar for instance, determines the competitiveness of U.S. products in the world marketplace. Consequently, their actions determine the earnings and spending capabilities of its citizenry, the people who buy products such as automobiles, appliances, hardware and everything else that is either manufactured domestically or imported and comprises the trade balance. Current improvements in the trade deficit figures, in my opinion, do not reflect an improvement in trade but rather a decline in overall activity. Percentages, I would offer, do not change with declines in overall activity so the reported trade deficit figures tend to incorrectly define such activity. Now for some actual information...
Interest Rates: June Treasury bonds closed at 141 31/32nds down 8/32nds as money made the "trip" back to equities on Friday. Traders took profits after recent gains in anticipation of next Federal Open Market Committee meeting. We have recently suggested a trading range between 135 and 145 and as we are approaching the higher end of the range we would look to sell futures or calls if the market posts additional gains. As prices moved higher yields declined. The yield on the 30 year bonds settled at 3.128%, which, due to the light selling in bond futures, was up 0.019%. We continue to view the bond market as a trading affair.
Stock Indices: The Dow Jones industrials closed at 13,029.26, up 65.16 tied to quarterly earnings reports fom Microsoft and General Electric. The Dow gained 1.4% for the week. The S&P 500 closed at 1378.53, up 1.61 and for the week gained 0.6%. The tech heavy Nasdaq, impacted by the decline in Apple shares which were down 2.46% closed at 3000.45, down 7.11. We are in the midst of earnings season and the markets tend to gyrate at each report. We continue to suggest implementing hedging strategies for holders of large equity positions. We have strategies tied to the weighting in each of the indices.
Currencies: The June U.S. dollar index closed at 79.313 down 39.4 points as the better than expected U.S. earnings reports prompted the shift from the relative safety of the dollar to equities. The beneficiaries of the "transfer" based on increased funds available for "bailouts" by the IMF, were the June Euro gaining 83 points to 13219, the Swiss Franc 76 points to 11007, the June british pound 52 points to 16103, the Canadian dollar 27 points to 10057, and the Austalian dollar 43 points to 10306.
The loser in the group was the Japanese yen closing at 12263, down 20 ticks. The IMF indications of additional funds available to problem Euro currency countries prompted the shortcovering and new buying in the Euro but as we have stated in prior commentaries, adding funds to the "bailout" capability is tantamount to "throwing money down a well". We continue to favor the dollar and would add to call positions or futures on any further declines.
Energies: May crude oil closed at $103.88 per barrel, up $1.61 and settled at $103.05, up 78c on the last day for the May contract. The June contract was up $1.58, or 1.5% to $104.30 per barrel. A better than expected German confidence report prompted the transfer of funds from the U.S. currency to those of Europe. We view crude oil pricing as a result of the "geopolitical premium" caused by the ongoing Iran nuclear concerns and the possibility of an attack on their facilities by Israel, something that has been circulating in the market for some time. Based on supply/demand considerations, we view crude oil as overpriced and expect prices to decline to the $80-85 level barring any "surprises". Once again, timing is the question.
Copper: July copper closed at $3.713 per pound, up 2.1% on Friday but still lost 4.9% for the month. Chinese demand remains the impetus for price movement in copper as China is one of the largest consumers of industrial metals. The German business confidence was a factor in Friday's rally. We continue to favor the short side of copper based on our continued assumption of a global recession.
Precious Metals: June gold closed at $1,642.80 per ounce, up $1.40 tied to the weak dollar but for the week gold lost 1%. We continue to view metals as a trading affair and would avoid new positions. May silver closed at $31.65 per ounce down 13c and remains in a tight range. Barclays forecasts a continued supply from mines and a decline in jewelry demand. While we agree with the decline in expected demand from the jewelry industry, silver is an industrial commodity tied also to the electronics industry as well as other applications that make silver more appealing to us than gold for those that persist in maintaining a position in precious metals. July platinum closed at $1,584.20 per ounce up $6.20 but was 0.2% lower on the week. June palladium closed at $676.90 per ounce, up $13.60 or 2.1% and for the week gained 4.6%. We continue to favor our spread recommendation of long palladium/short platinum.
Next page: Ags and softs outlook
Grains and Oilseeds: July corn closed at $6.02 per bushel, down 9c on profittaking after recent strength tied to reports of Chinese purchases. We favor the sidelines in corn. July wheat closed at $6.23 per bushel, down 7c on favorable weather conditions in the U.S. Great Plains. We favor the sidelines for now in wheat pending fresh fundamentals. July soybeans closed at $14.49 ½, up 28 1/2c tied to expectations of smaller South American harvests and increased demand. The buying allowed soybeans to reduce its weekly loss to 1%. Recent weakness was tied to the price gains in soybeans which could prompt farmers to plant more this year. We have favored the long side of soybeans for some time since the mid $13 level. A one dollar move is equivalent to $5,000 on a one contract basis. Stay long but raise those trailing stops.
Meats: June cattle closed at $1.1545, down 4c on continued selling pressure on increasing feed lots and cattle. We have favored the long side of cattle but after achieving our goal of $1.25 prices have come under pressure taking out some trailing stops. Hold off any new buying for now. July hogs closed at 87.95c per pound, down 1.375c on continued long liquidation. We remain sidelined in hogs.
Coffee, Cocoa and Sugar: July coffee closed at $1.79 per pound, up 3.35c on expectations of reduced production in Columbia tied to rainstorms in the world's second largest arabica bean grower. The Columbian harvest failed to recover from wet weather reduction of 32% from the 2009 calendar year. Production from Columbia may be less than 7 million bags this season from the 7.8 million the prior season. Stay long coffee and add to longs on any price declines. Use stops on the entire position. July cocoa closed at $2,260 per tonne, up $26 on shortcovering and new buying tied to continued concern of bug infestation. We continue to favor the long side of cocoa since it made a low of $2056 on April 9th. Stay long but raise stops. July sugar closed at 21.64c per pound, down 13 points and remains under pressure even against concerns over Brazilian cane production. We expect prices to stabilize in this area after having declined from the mid March highs. We would buy here but only with stop protection around the recent lows.
Cotton: Cotton is mid range between the recent low of 87c and high of 94c. We have liked cotton from its lows and continue to favor the long side but with stops. Chinese accumulation of cotton in the national reserve is a bullish factor but Chinese intentions are always of some concern. Stay long but use stop protection.

Alice McDermott Biography
Alice McDermott was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1953. Her first
novel, A Bigamists' Daughter, was published to wide acclaim in 1982.
That Night (1987), her second novel, was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize,
the National Book Award, and for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. In his
cover review for The New York Times Book Review, David Leavitt called
That Night "an original, a work that revels in a rich, discursive prose
style that belongs entirely to Alice McDermott." A film version of That Night
was produced by Warner Bros. and released in the spring of 1992. At Weddings
and Wakes (1992), her third novel, became a New York Times
bestseller. Michiko Kakutani of The New York Times praised McDermott's
"rich, supple prose" and Bruce Bawer called At Weddings and Wakes "a
haunting and masterly work of literary art" in his review for The Wall Street
Journal. This biography was last updated on 06/11/2011.

Summary (Magill's Survey of World Literature, Revised Edition)
The Oresteia is the only ancient Greek trilogy to survive. (Sophocles' Theban Trilogy consists of three plays that were actually written many years apart and never performed together during the poet's lifetime.) The three plays of the The Oresteia are the Agamemnon, the Libation Bearers, and the Eumenides ("kindly ones" or "furies"). The Proteus (458 b.c.e.), The Oresteia's satyr play (a humorous work traditionally performed at the end of a trilogy), has been lost; it is unclear whether the Proteus would have continued the plot of The Oresteia or, as is more likely, dealt with the encounter of Odysseus and Proteus described in the Odyssey (c. 725 b.c.e.; English translation, 1614).
A central motif of The Oresteia is the curse that has afflicted Agamemnon's family for several generations. Tantalus, Agamemnon's great-grandfather, had slaughtered his own son, Pelops, after divulging the secrets of the Olympian gods and stealing from them the nectar and ambrosia that conveyed immortality. Pelops, whom the gods later restored, betrayed and killed the charioteer, Myrtilus, by pushing him from a cliff. As Myrtilus fell to his death, he cursed Pelops and all of his descendants; that was the origin of the curse upon this household. Pelops's son, Atreus, butchered the children of his...

Summary (Masterplots, Definitive Revised Edition)
The house of Atreus was accursed because in the great palace at Argos the tyrant, Atreus, had killed the children of Thyestes and served their flesh to their father at a royal banquet. Agamemnon and Menelaus were the sons of Atreus. When Helen, wife of Menelaus, was carried off by Paris, Agamemnon was among the Greek heroes who went with his brother to battle the Trojans for her return. On the way to Troy, however, while the fleet lay idle at Aulis, Agamemnon was prevailed upon to sacrifice his daughter, Iphigenia, to the gods. Hearing of this deed, Clytemnestra, his wife, vowed revenge. She gave her son, Orestes, into the care of the King of Phocis, and in the darkened palace nursed her consuming hate.
In her desire for vengeance she was joined by Aegisthus, surviving son of Thyestes, who had returned from his long exile. Hate brought the queen and Aegisthus together in a common cause; they became lovers as well as plotters in crime.
The ship of Menelaus having been delayed by a storm, Agamemnon returned alone from the Trojan wars. A watchman first saw the lights of his ship upon the sea and brought to his queen the news of the king's return. Leaving his men quartered in the town, Agamemnon drove to the palace in his chariot, beside him Cassandra, captive daughter of the king of Troy and an augeress of all misfortunes to come, who had fallen to Agamemnon in the division of the spoils. She had already warned the king that some evil was to...

Summary (Masterplots, Fourth Edition)
Agamemnon. Clytemnestra's watchman spies a beacon signaling victory for the Greek army at Troy. Hoping that Agamemnon will restore order in Argos, the watchman leaves to inform Clytemnestra.
The chorus, the old men of Argos, laments the ten-year war against Troy and questions whether or not it was justified. It was fought for Helen, Clytemnestra's sister and the wife of Agamemnon's brother, Menalaus, who was abducted by the Trojan prince Paris. Although Paris violated a guest's obligations in stealing Helen, she was unworthy of the anguish caused by the war. The brothers' attack wedded Greeks and Trojans in spilled blood, with the first sacrifice being Clytemnestra's innocent daughter, Iphigenia. When the Greek fleet was beached at Aulis, a prophet named Calacas said the goddess Artemis had demanded Iphigenia as the price of reaching Troy. Agamemnon had complied. Now, as Clytemnestra lays offerings at her altars, the chorus, anticipating trouble, prays to Zeus for guidance.
Clytemnestra reports Agamemnon's victory, while expressing a fear that the victors, by glorying excessively, may offend the gods. The chorus, considering the suffering the brothers caused and the curses that may bring divine wrath upon them, hope the message of the beacons is false. However, a herald confirms that Troy has been destroyed, and the Greeks are celebrating their victory.
Agamemnon, accompanied by Cassandra, credits the gods...

Vufold is the UK's leading manufacturer of bifolding doors. For over 25 years, the company has been at the forefront of designing and making wooden doors, leading the way in the manufacture of "engineered timber", a method of binding wood with adhesives and other performance-enhancing materials to maximise strength and durability. In 2005, we noticed a growing trend in the UK market: many people were looking for something different from the standard sliding patio doors or French doors, with more versatility in terms of indoor/outdoor living. In response to this trend, we began making our own brand of bifold / sliding folding doors.
Our Bifold doors and folding sliding doors work by folding back in a concertina effect as they are slid open, meaning that the entire space occupied by the door can be opened up. This makes them very desirable as external doors, as it allows indoor and outdoor space to meet without any glass panels getting in the way, as would be the case with traditional French or patio doors. They can also be used inside the home, maximising the space between rooms, letting in light and offering the option of open-plan living.
All Vufold's external bifolding doors and folding doors are available in a range of sizes, ranging from 6ft to 16ft and 2 panels to 6 panels. All are factory finished for maximum UV protection.
External Folding Sliding Doors
The Master range
The Master range features a hardwood veneer in a pristine white finish and stainless steel hardware that will look good in any home. The quality of the materials ensures that this affordable range is nevertheless highly durable. The choice of doors folding open to the left or right is up to you, while there is also a single access door for everyday use. View the Master range.
The Elite range
The Elite range, in beautiful pre-finished oak-veneer, is our most popular range of external folding sliding doors. They can be used as external doors or as a link between a house and conservatory. With slim frames allowing for a larger glass panel area, these bifolding doors are designed to let as much light as possible into your home. View the Elite range.
The Prestige range
The Prestige range is made from engineered solid European oak for unparalleled quality of design and performance. The top-hung roller system ensures that the folding doors will glide open with a smooth, effortless movement, while an oak-covered aluminium sub-cill allows rain water to drain away without coming into contact with the wood. View the Prestige range.
The Supreme range
New for autumn 2013 is the beautiful all aluminium, Supreme range of external bi-fold doors. The sleek and stylish look of the doors, in a choice of contemporary grey or stunning white, will complement any home.

The Inspire range
The Inspire range consists of 3 or 4 doors, offering you the option of using the two centre doors or folding both sides back against the walls to maximise the space between rooms. When closed, full-length glass panels let the light flood in. As the doors are unfolded by releasing bolts at the top, there is no need for a track at the bottom, meaning that floor space between rooms becomes seamless when the doors are open.

We are exceptionally pleased with our doors as they are robust, look fantastic and have an exceptional u value which has vastly improved the comfort to these rooms. I'm even more thrilled to know that I can now purchase blinds for these doors too."
"We are so happy with the new doors. We were wary about buying on-line without viewing the product, but they are so well made, sturdy and strong. There is no movement when the doors are closed and they fold back perfectly and smoothly. The fitter told us that they were easier to fit and better quality than similar folding doors that he has worked with. We are really happy and they completely enhance the area where we have installed them."

Wednesday, May 16, 2012
About a month ago I bought a cute little succulent from Eastern Market here in DC. I've always been very bad at caring for plants, but the nice old man who sold it to me said I shouldn't have any problems since it only needs water when it looks like it's almost dying (i.e. very dry soil). He told me to dig my finger into the pot, and if it's all dry around the edges, that's when it's okay to water. Luckily for me, the only time I remember to water a plant is after it has already died, so this has been a total no-brainer thus far! Woo-hoo!
The little guy already grew out of its planter though, so I figured it was time for a transfer. Andrew and I walked to the hardware store near my house and picked up a bag of cactus mix from the garden section. When we got home, I sat out on the balcony and started to pick it up out of the dirt, but I'm guessing I was doing it wrong because Andrew quickly came outside and took over. Is it terrible that I've never really gardened before? Would you believe me if I told you my dad went to college for Horticulture? (Sorry, dad.)
I bought a little blue pot from a thrift store a few years ago thinking I'd buy a plant and use it, but that never happened and it sat around until it eventually turned into a place to store spare change. I'm glad I finally have a good excuse to use it now!
I have a feeling I'll have a nice little succulent collection sooner or later. They're just so cute and you really can't beat how low maintenance they are.
Do you have any succulents/plants?

I was so bad with keeping plants, but now I have a ton around the house. I love the way they look! I have a table full of them by a window which makes it easy to remember to care for them. And I don't water them very often, really once a month unless they look droopy.
I started out with succulents and orchids, those are both easy to care for and beautiful.
xx, COh God Im like the Grim Reaper of Greenery haha I once housesat for a family member while they were overseas for 6 months and I killed half their houseplants and then had to spend a small fortune replacing all of them LOL I have been planning to do a little succulent collection on my patio because thats about as close to a garden Ill ever have. : )

So we have all been through it you try to buy a house or -- apartment a get a credit -- you apply for some jobs you are subject to a credit -- Where you expect well today.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau announced that starting in September they're gonna start overseeing credit reporting companies that includes the Big Three.
Experian Equifax and Trans Union.
So that's a government they're gonna get all better.
Don't hold your breath let's bring in Derek can -- financial advisors.
-- & Associates you know what I I'm not gonna wait I I hope the government does straighten this out because we do need some oversight in this area but I'm not gonna wait for that.
Give me three things that I can do today to fix my credit report.
Well great to be with you Melissa one of the things that -- -- to realize -- your credit score dictates a large part of your financial future.
People with a better than average credit score get better rates on loans for houses cars except her.
That can save them hundreds of thousands of dollars for their entire life -- -- -- -- -- So here's my person to -- -- Number number one has to assess the damage.
Call each of those companies and asked for your free credit report once a year.
And see what's on there so many people have no idea what's on their credit -- you think that's number happens.
They have no idea they can control and influence it and how you -- number two is.
Called the credit card companies -- there is a discrepancy on that statement if you have a slow -- tape perhaps a credit issue has come up.
Call those companies you can put a note on there if there is sort of an extenuating circumstances.
Let them know what happened is they key is -- you've got to take control of this to lower your rate.
We do like Paul and he can he -- drug called the company that made the mistakes I call the credit card company or whoever it is.
Or do I call their credit reporting agency and tell them who makes the note that it's really you know an extenuating circumstance or mistake.
They know it goes directly to the supervisory.
Committee itself in other words the Experian and the -- union called them and let them know.
But trying to work out those details with a credit card company themselves.
And also make sure you keep record of who you're talking to.
Don't talk into the vacuum right down the person's name the extension have them help you guide yourself through this process.
But keep in mind if you keep your balances at 80% or below.
Of the maximum limit on your credit cards that's one way to boost your score.
Also 65%.
Of your score comes down to two things first of all.
How much you oh and your payment history if you've got a steady record of payment history and your balances -- lower.
That's going to boost your score which is going to mean a better score but also better interest rates and that's gonna save you big money over the lifetime -- that won't.
The government getting involved is gonna fix I mean I was making fun of because I have about attitude about certainly everybody watches the show knows that.
But they do need some sort of oversight do you think getting a consumer protection bureau is gonna help or does it add another layer of mass today.
It certainly Melissa depends how you interpret it certainly -- some oversight right now may be perceived as consumer protection.
But keep in mind two thirds of our economy is how all our viewers spend their money the average consumer and a large part of that spending has put on plastic.
The easier it is to do that and make sure that people's credit as good even valid.
That means the economies can be girl we think about credit sort of that Greece's kids the right progress of the economy absolutely very very important.
No one really wouldn't -- -- how can -- -- control that control this yourself.
The oversight committee will not take care of your credit -- problems.
You must do that and make sure that you're getting the best rate.
But managing this is the key to long term success and may mean bigger -- down there ought to put toward goals like education even your retirement as well.
Now you have to be proactive I mean it's so frustrating it happened to -- where it's a relative with the same name it -- -- your credit report it's obvious it's not you.
But they don't care it's so hard to get it takes so long to get corrected.
Well it take so long because of the bureaucracy that goes on but also keep in mind.
Each -- monde credit card companies update their file so you have a discrepancy.
Once that's reported to the appropriate person typically the next month that's going to -- -- the credit -- a positive way.
But let's say identity is stolen you lose and -- Social Security card.
Call your credit card company immediately yeah let them know what happened they're willing to work with you because they want to get paid -- -- -- express effort and energy they're gonna work with you can help you boost that score -- we got to run thank you so much we appreciate it I guess.

Who are those people who voluntarily spend all day outside in the snow at freezing temperatures? Lunatics? Maybe, but first and foremost they are the Almdudler Snowpark Sölden Shape Crew! Every day, they are working like and with machines to maintain the high quality of the Almdudler Snowpark Sölden!
Hard manual labor, early working hours and freezing temperatures - Not exactly a dream job, one could assume. But there is a special breed of people who absolutely enjoy all this: the Almdudler Snowpark Sölden Shape Crew! Have you ever wondered what these people are and look like when they are not covered in facemasks? Actually, they are very nice! Check it out:
Firstly, there is Christoph Schöpf, the park designer. Born and practically raised in Sölden's snow, it's no surprise that he eventually became one of the key figures of the Almdudler Snowpark Sölden! As a passionate snowboarder, he sure knows what he's doing! His aim is to create a perfect playground for all freestylers Home sweet home, that's what it is to him.
Our girl Adriana Olech claims that she really had no other choice than to come to Sölden! This is quite understandable considering the fact for such a committed snowboarder and successful contest rider as Ada, the snow conditions in Poland truly are no match in the long run! We're glad to have her!
Shaper Demis Lotter, has been a snowboarder for ages now! He loves this sport and he also loves the mountains in Sölden! He, too, is eager to create a park that lives up to his own expectations! Thus, a high quality Snowpark is the logical result!
Since he was 9 years old, Jannis Lampert is a snowboarder to the core! Our man from Karlsruhe is in Sölden just for the fun of it but he's also doing a great job! He's also got some interesting facts about sausages – if you meet him, he'll be happy explain it to you!
Merlin Hirsch's job by his own account is, besides wielding the shovel, also to ram away the tourists. This rather extreme care for the freestyle playground truly explains his attitude towards snowboarding! He loves it and will do everything in his power to provide an excellent Snowpark for true freestylers!
Last but not least, there's the machine head, Marco Kuprian, who's maneuvering the snowcat to prepare the ground for massive freestyle action! He's the only freeskier among these guys, but there's no reason to assume that he's using the big snowcat to compensate for something – He sure knows how to handle those skis!
As you can see, the Almdudler Snowpark Sölden is in very good hands! Big Props to you guys and thanks for braving the weather every day to maintain the high quality of this unique Snowpark!
Here you can find out about the current status and setup of the Almdudler Snowpark Sölden. Stay tuned for more news!

I'm well aware of the combinatorial variant of the proof, i.e. noting that each formula is a different representation for the number of subsets of a set of $n$ elements. I'm curious if there's a series of algebraic manipulations that can lead from $\sum\limits_{i=0}^n \binom{n}{i}$ to $2^n$.
Here's one. Let $g(n) = \sum \limits_{i=0}^n \binom{n}{i}$. Then $$g(n+1) - g(n) = \sum_{i=0}^{n+1} \binom{n+1}{i} - \sum_{i=0}^n \binom{n}{i} = \sum_{i=0}^{n+1} \left(\binom{n+1}{i} - \binom{n}{i}\right) = \sum_{i=0}^{n+1} \binom{n}{i-1} $$ $$= \sum_{i=0}^n \binom{n}{i} = g(n).$$ Here, we use the fact that $\binom{n}{n+1} = \binom{n}{-1} = 0$, as well as the binomial recurrence $\binom{n+1}{i} = \binom{n}{i} + \binom{n}{i-1}$. Thus we have $g(n+1) = 2g(n)$, with $g(0) = 1$. Since $g(n)$ doubles each time $n$ is incremented by 1, we must have $$g(n) = \sum_{i=0}^n \binom{n}{i} = 2^n.$$ | |||||||||||||
Simply use the binomial formula. $$(a + b)^n = \sum_{k=0}^n {n \choose k} a^k b^{n - k}$$ With $a = b = 1$ you have your result. | ||||
Well, here is one. $$\sum_{i=0}^n \binom{n}{i}=2^n$$ $$\sum_{i=0}^n \binom{n}{i}+\sum_{i=0}^n \binom{n}{i}=2^{n+1}$$ $$\binom{n}{0}+\left [ \binom{n}{0}+\binom{n}{1} \right ]+...+\left [ \binom{n}{n-1}+\binom{n}{n}\right ]+\binom{n}{n}=2^{n+1}$$ $$\sum_{i=0}^{n+1} \binom{n+1}{i}=2^{n+1}$$ | |||||||||

Latest Podcasts on Eastern Spirituality
This ancient science connects us to things beyond the physical plane. This is the great field of study that connects all the mysteries traditions: from astrology, tarot, numerology, sacred geometry, hermeticism and so many other of the esoteric science are all based on an understanding of a physic that is beyond this material world of existence. Yet the proof of their reality is not in the superstitions of their possibilities, but in the realities of heir knowledge and how it has helped to evolve further our human understanding of who we are and what our place in the universe truly is. We can ask the question of metaphysics: What is our destiny and what tools do I need to fulfill that destiny?
Maybe, what we call the past, the present and the possibility of the future, are all happening now.
Like the ancient prophet Zoroaster (Zarathustra) who appeared in ancient Persia 3000 years ago, Zarathustra comes from the same land. Using a unique blend of Shamanism along with current spiritual techniques, Zarathustra has access to 5th-dimensional quantum space, where he is able to build a bridge to your inner wisdom and connection to Source Energy, removing the obstacles that prevent you from experiencing your "self" at a soul level. This can include a Third Eye Activation, physical healing or a myriad of other awakenings. Zarathustra's path towards his own awakening was the bridge that led him to serve first as a healer, where he soon discovered his calling to teach and serve others as he has been served by his teachers.
From: http://5thdimensionalhealing.com/Zarathustra's healing and self awakening path began at the age of 21. He studied different schools of mysticism such as Sufism, Buddhism, and Hinduism, and was led to a number of different teachers and healers.
His first encounter with one of the most powerful healers, Adele Tinning was in San Diego in 1989. Shortly after this Zarathustra became aware of Osho–Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, and was intrigued by his teachings. This led him to the Pilipino psychic surgeon Michaela, who performed psychic surgery on young Zarathustra in 1990
Zarathustra lived in Sedona, Arizona for nine years (1998-2007), where he was able to receive teachings and wisdom from various powerful teachers, such as Robert Adams and Wayne Liquorman.
The search for passion, self realization and healing continued, which led him to one of the most powerful healers, John of God in Brazil in the year 2008. Spending six months in Abadiania (John's of God's village, the Casa de Dom Inacio de Loyola, also known as the Casa), Zarathustra was able to experience and observe John of God's abilities first hand. During his time at the Casa, Zarathustra discovered Valentine in Gamma Brazil, another powerful healer he was able to learn from.
Traveling from Brazil to India in 2009 he explored healing practices in India's southern Ayurvedic centers. His quest then took him to Daramsala, in the foothills of the Himalayas in northern India, (which is the capital of the exiled Tibetan government) where he met and had the opportunity to observe Yeshi Dhonden, the Dalai Lama's former personal physician of 30 years.
The traveling, teachings and sitting with many masters and healers reached a cumulative boiling point in May of 2009. Zarathustra began to receive a series of downloads from entities identifying themselves as his "5th Dimensional guides". These downloads gave Zarathustra innate knowledge on how to perform psychic surgery, "x-ray vision", and turned his right hand into a high frequency transmitter. Following this he began holding 5th Dimensional Quantum Healing group events and workshops on a regular basis. These events then led Zarathustra to his path as a messenger of the truth.
ZARATHUSTRA is an internationally known spiritual teacher and a 5th Dimensional Quantum Healer, who lives his life in the truth of NOW. As a clear conduit, he is a very powerful vessel of transmission of the Truth. After years of seeking and visiting many spiritual masters and healers Zarathustra came to the realization of "that which we seek resides in our own hearts" He has created a unique blend of teachings from east and west and is able to transmit his understanding of the absolute to his audience.
Satsang (lit., "in the company of Truth") is the spiritual practice of coming together to chant, meditate, or study the Guru's teachings. It is also the practice of sharing our wisdom with one another.
This laser capability is the most pertinent piece allowing for Third Eye Activation, which his guides repeatedly told him is a crucial step for our species at this time in our spiritual development.
Masha Levina talks about her healing on many levels of reality... a fascinating synthsis....
Drs. JJ and Desiree Hurtak talk about the Future of Consciousness, the merging of technology and becoming Galactic Citizens...
Lorna has seen and talked with angels throughout her life. She says 'They were my teachers, my friends [and still are today].'
Alan Steinfeld goes into further detail about the development of the RnA Drops, who is the being called iOn. WHat his purpse of interacting with this dimension at this time. And what else it means to empty the Guf, as iOn says..

I'm out of Twinkies – low fat, mind you – so it looks like I might as well write a review. Larvaeon has arrived via The Spew Records, a label that may not fully register until I mention that they've released notable discs by Leng Tch'e, Cock and Ball Torture, and Bodies in the Gears of the Apparatus. Well, two out of three ain't bad. Anyhow, Deviant are a veritable Swedish frenzy as far as musicianship goes, while their remaining attributes showcase plenty of competence and flair.
Like Vile, these guys are polished, technical, and unafraid to incorporate all sorts of mind-bending changes within their songs. Astoundingly, however, this outfit enters the ring with the stone-cold confidence that only veterans can muster. Forming in 2002, Larvaeon is their maiden voyage into full-length waters, and the thirty-three minutes pan out wondrously. Deviant are both technical and brutal, but they refuse to be fully categorized as either though the traits are never far below the surface. After the introduction "Memento Mori" (Withered anyone?), "Fleshwork" blasts through upending the listener with two different vocal approaches, sudden tempo changes, and an intricate modern take on death metal. "Immaculate Rancidity" follows, and Alex opens with guttural growls while the troupe mimic Cryptopsy to a certain degree.
By this time, you should begin to notice that Deviant prefer bludgeoning in two/three minute increments, even though there are a couple anomalies strewn about. The closer, "Deviance," is one such exception because it lasts for over five minutes, throws in a hefty amount of tempo variance, and is more lenient with guitar leads. Attempting to declare an overall winner, in the contest of song-versus-song, proves futile since so much of this debut is littered with know-how. In short, every composition warrants praise.
Nonetheless, although Deviant are not to be overlooked, they aren't furthering anything with this release. In fact, much of Larvaeon replicates what's appeared in the past, and there are people out there who will, as a result, shove this platter across the table. Plus the group is essentially unknown…or close to it. Perhaps the guest vocalists, Ronnie (21st Impact, Enemy is Us) and Gustav (Defleshed), will lure more individuals into the fold as well as the assertion that this recording is just a notch below stunning, if taken as directed.

DIRTY BIRD: Despite their unsavory reputation, pigeons are much less likely to spread disease than chickens.
Image: ©ISTOCKPHOTO.COM/MCKEVIN SHAUGHNESSY
The Best Science Writing Online 2012
Showcasing more than fifty of the most provocative, original, and significant online essays from 2011, The Best Science Writing Online 2012 will change the way...
Read More »
In many cities, pigeons—to take one urban animal—are reviled as flying vermin. They whitewash ledges and pick at filthy crumbs in the gutter. And, yes, these, dubbed by some as "rats with wings," do carry diseases that humans can catch. But so do innumerable wild creatures outside city limits, the animals we eat—even our beloved pets.
Pigeons are guilty of transmitting fungal and bacterial diseases, primarily via their droppings, which pose the greatest risk to those with weakened immune systems. But cast against the recent spread of infectious zoonotic diseases—such as H5N1 bird flu, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)—experts question the degree of concern over the disease-bearing potential of the birds that have colonized cities the world over.
In principle, any animal can carry a disease that humans could catch. But Marm Kilpatrick, an ecologist at the Consortium for Conservation Medicine in New York City, which studies human-induced environmental change, species health and biodiversity, wrote in an e-mail: "In reality, the vast majority [about 99.999 percent] of pathogens that are carried by animals won't infect people."
Even so, zoonotic diseases represent a growing proportion of emerging infectious diseases; two British studies calculated that about 75 percent of emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic. (By comparison, about 60 percent of all human pathogens can infect animals.)
Real rats (the ground-hugging kind) aren't innocent by any means: Research links them with the reemergence of bubonic plague and typhus. But bats (of whom "winged rats" is more apropos) may be giving the unpopular rodents a run for their infamous reputation. Long associated with rabies, bats gained new notoriety in the 1990s after outbreaks of the Hendra and Nipah viruses killed both humans and livestock in Australia and Southeast Asia, respectively. A few years later SARS terrified the world by taking flight on commercial airlines. The virus left a trail leading back to the live animal markets in China, first to civet cats and subsequently to bats, the latter vector now believed to be the true starting point for the virus.
And, despite increasing urbanization throughout the world, people and wildlife are sharing more infections. In the Hendra and Nipah outbreaks, habitat fragmentation and increased contact between wild bats and domestic animals have been implicated. Bushmeat, particularly that of our close cousins the chimpanzee, has caused Ebola outbreaks in Africa.
In the U.S., prairie dog owners caught monkey pox from their pets. And the reforestation of Northeastern states over the past century has allowed deer populations to boom, spreading Lyme disease.
By comparison, pigeons' potential for spreading bird flu seems rather minimal. So far most of nearly 220 human deaths caused by the pathogenic H5N1 strain of bird flu have been traced to contact with poultry. And the strain has yet to arrive in North America. If a similar one were to emerge here, the result could be disastrous for industrial farm workers before anyone else, according to Gregory Gray, director of the University of Iowa's Center for Emerging Diseases.
"Exposure to domestic birds has changed markedly," he says. In the nation's confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs)—the industrial operations that have replaced family farms with at minimum 9,000-chicken or 750–large pig facilities—agricultural workers spend much more time in close contact with animals than a farmer would have 50 years ago.
These are potentially the mixing pots for the next flu pandemic, Gray argues. When an outbreak occurs undetected in a facility, viruses can mutate as they cycle through large flocks or herds. Gray and his colleagues have shown farmers, veterinarians and meat processors all had high swine influenza infection rates, and avian veterinarians carry more bird flu.
