AND/NZD - Corrective Bottom should be seen near 1.0600
AND/NZD - Corrective Bottom should be seen near 1.0600
The corrective decline in wave ii has extended, but should be close to completion. Ideally a corrective low will be seen near 1.0600 as a minor ending diagonal has been unfolding May 10 and this ending diagonal is coming to an end.
The first good indication that a low is in place is seen upon a break above 1.0702 which will confirm a quick rally back to the origin of the ending diagonal in about half the time it to for the ending diagonal to build.
However, the longer term picture calls for much more upside progress should be seen in the weeks and months ahead.
The above scenario is my preferred count and stays valid as long as important support at 1.0573 protects the downside. Should an unexpected break below this support be seen, that would shift to the alternate count call for a little more downside in wave C of a zig-zag correction from 1.1683. The ideal target for wave C will be seen at 1.0149 from where the next impulsive rally should be seen. It's important to emphasize that the alternate count only becomes the preferred count, if important support at 1.0573 is broken.
When a 1+ is highlighted in the right hand corner, more charts is available in this chart-pack 3 charts can been seen.

ABC News' Alex Perez reports:
A 14-year-old boy from Ohio says he is lucky to be alive after he was swallowed up by a sewer drain pipe and carried 1,500 feet by rising waters.
Jeff LaPorta suffered scrapes and bruises on his legs and received six stitches in his arm, but that only tells a part of his harrowing tale.
LaPorta was enjoying the last days of summer like any other kid, riding his bike with a friend in Parma, Ohio, on Tuesday during a heavy rain storm. LaPorta was riding through a parking lot when Mother Nature pulled a trick on him.
"There were big puddles and I was splashing through them and stuff having fun," LaPorta recalled.
What LaPorta thought was a shallow puddle was actually a deep creek swollen with rain water. Within seconds, LaPorta fell into the creek and was carried away into a drain pipe.
"It was dark, it was scary, it was nasty," said LaPorta. "It was like somebody is putting you in a big whirlpool and spinning you around and getting your head knocked on the ground."
The rushing water sucked LaPorta into the pipe, and carried 1,500 feet from the entrance. Along the way, the teen was gasping for air as the water rose over his head.
"…After I took that deep breath I just stayed, and I was not going to give up," said LaPorta.
LaPorta's friend, Miguel Torres immediately flagged down help, unsure what just happened to his friend.
"I started thinking the worst," recalled Torres.
The fire department arrived on the scene and searched manhole cover after manhole cover looking for LaPorta. After about 40 minutes of searching, the firefighters heard a scream. LaPorta was pulled out of a manhole cover across the street from a gas station parking lot.
"They lifted the manhole cover and I said, 'Hey buddy, you alright down there?'" said Parma firefighter David Higginbotham. "And he was crying. He was terrified."
Afraid he'd never make it out alive, LaPorta couldn't believe the moment he saw the firefighters' flashlight.
"In my head I'm like, 'Thank you, Lord.' I was praying," said LaPorta. "I'm a little bruised up, but I'm lucky to be alive."

Aldi ram raid 'shock' for business owners and shoppers
PUBLISHED: 16:29 01 March 2019 | UPDATED: 16:32 01 March 2019
Business owners and shoppers have described a ram raid by a masked gang at a supermarket in a Suffolk town as a "shock".
The incident happened at around 3.05am this morning at Aldi in Brandon, on the High Street when a white Ford Transit van was crashed into the front window of the shop in an attempt to steal a cash machine.
Four men, all dressed in dark clothing and wearing masks, fled the scene empty-handed in a white Volkswagen Golf car, with the cash machine left hanging out of the back of the van, still plugged into the wall.
Justine Snare, who runs Bunches and Bows flower shop directly opposite the supermarket on the High Street said the incident made her "nervous" to go out on the street.
She said: "It would make us nervous if we had something more expensive but it does make you nervous to go out on the street.
"It does make you a lot more aware and a lot more careful and if we sold more expensive things then I would really be worried.
"You don't think it is ever going to happen that near even though you know it does and because it is all over Facebook, but it is just everywhere and I don't understand why it is so bad now."
Many shoppers, expecting to be able to do their weekly shop at the supermarket, expressed their shock at the incident with several unsure where they were going to be able to buy their groceries.
Margaret Stonach, 81, said the ram raid came as a shock.
She said: "Yes it is a shock. You don't expect it to happen somewhere like here."
Another, Paul Earwig, said the attackers were just being stupid.
He said: "It is actually quite funny but they were obviously quite stupid. They probably thought because Brandon doesn't have a police station that it was an easy target.
"It is just someone being stupid and thinking there will be a lot of money in there."
Suffolk Police said they are carrying out enquiries into the incident and asked anyone who has knowledge of the raid or thinks that they saw suspicious activity around the ram raid to come forward.
A spokesman for the police said: "Anyone with information is asked to contact West CID at Bury St Edmunds Police Station on 101 quoting reference 37/11725/19 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
A spokesman for Aldi confirmed the store had reopened following the incident.

So, imagine you get into your vehicle and put the key in the ignition or hit the push-button start. Instead of hearing the roar of the engine, you experience silence. Your car doesn't start! A car battery is like its heart, without which you cannot start your car or let alone drive it.
However, vehicle batteries don't last forever and as time passes, they will eventually run out of juice. This is why it's important to watch out for these common battery replacement signs. Also, look at the benefits of having a professional replace your car battery:
Signs Your Car Battery is Giving Trouble
- Engine Cranks But Doesn't Start – If you turn the key in the ignition and your engine cranks but doesn't start, your battery is fading. Have an expert mechanic check your battery. If the problem persists, you might require a replacement.
- Lights Won't Turn On – A dead battery leads to the lights and horn not working, in addition to your car not starting. Your car battery powers all the accessories in the car. Therefore, if it doesn't show signs of life, you might need to replace it.
- Moody Battery – If the performance of your car varies from day to day, there can be an issue with the battery. This is particularly the case if you have to jump start your car. This could also be an indication of your battery terminals getting loose or corroding.
- Bloated Battery Case – If the casing of your car battery appears bigger than usual, you should consider battery repair or replacement.
- Cold Cranking – Batteries have a cold cranking amp that enables drivers to measure a battery's capacity to start in cold weather. If the CCA displays poor ratings, you might have trouble starting your vehicle during the winter, which means you require a replacement.
Benefits of Having Your Car Battery Replaced Professionally
- A professional will ensure the new battery is optimal for the make/model of your vehicle, guaranteeing optimal performance.
- Getting a professional to replace your battery also gives them the chance to look for other problems with your car. This ensures there are no issues with your car before you get back on the road.
- An expert will remove any corrosion and clean the battery connections to get better performance from your car battery.
- Batteries are heavy and often coated in acidic electrolyte. Only an experienced professional should replace it, as doing-it-yourself poses safety hazards.
So, if you want to enjoy the benefits mentioned above, it's time you get a professional to replace your car battery.

Scientists confirm rift in space-time continuum
Scientists have confirmed the first known rift in the space-time continuum, which may have irreversibly altered the fabric of the universe about a year ago. The discovery was made by Dr. Emmett Brown of Hill Valley, California and confirmed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Though the full effects are not yet known, Brown opined on the possibilities. "Imagine waking up one morning and everything you know is suddenly different: your spouse, your job...Hillary Clinton might not even be President." A local Upper West Side resident downplayed the news. "It makes for good sci-fi, but it's too far-fetched to believe."
Toxic levels of testosterone detected in UWS apartment
Three male residents of an Upper West Side apartment were safely evacuated after lethal levels of testosterone were discovered. Emergency personnel responding to complaints of Axe body spray odors found three unresponsive males, all sitting at laptops with headphones on, unshaven, and wearing boxer shorts. A pile of empty Coke Zero cans were found near one, while empty chocolate Nesquik bottles were discovered near another. An ungroomed Spaniel was found in the kitchen near an overturned trash can full of Shake Shack wrappers. "There were multiple mobile phones with dating apps," said a visibly shaken EMS responder, "I've seen MMA locker rooms with less testosterone." The residents were treated and released in time to go water skiing.
Middle-aged man sings along to 10 consecutive songs on oldies station
A local resident wowed family members recently by reciting the complete lyrics to ten consecutive songs on the oldies station, shattering his previous mark of nine. The self-described "child of the '80s" was listening to his favorite radio station while driving to a waterpark with his sons when he began singing along to "Uptown Girl." That was followed by "I'll Be Watching You," "Double Vision," and "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun." By the time "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" ended ninety minutes later, everyone in the car knew they had witnessed history. "My kids think it's the end of the world as we know it," said the unnamed man, "but I feel fine."

Brad Pitt and Javier Bardem Now Confirmed for Ridley Scott's 'The Counselor', Angelina Jolie "Very Likely"
Posted on Friday, April 13th, 2012 by Angie Han
It seems like Jeremy Renner's been up for every juicy role in Hollywood these past couple of years, but apparently even he's no match for Javier Bardem. Both went up last month for Ridley Scott's Cormac McCarthy-scripted thriller The Counselor, with Bardem said to be the preferred choice, and indeed, the Spanish star has now officially sealed the deal. Also just locked is Brad Pitt, who was first rumored for the picture a few weeks ago. The pair join lead Michael Fassbender, who — despite all the A-list interest in Scott's latest project — was the only confirmed star up to this point.
Meanwhile, it's looking increasingly likely that Pitt's Mr. and Mrs. Smith co-star / real-life partner Angelina Jolie will board the cast as well, in a more significant role than we previously suspected. More details after the jump.
McCarthy's first original screenplay centers around an attorney (Fassbender) who decides to dabble in the drug trade, but quickly falls in much deeper than he ever intended to go. As expected, Bardem has been cast in the role of Reiner, a shady but wealthy acquaintance who pulls the main character into the underworld and eventually becomes the story's main villain. The Counselor marks Bardem's second time in McCarthy territory, after his Academy Award-winning turn in the Coen Brothers' adaptation of No Country for Old Men. Bardem made an indelible impression as menacing hitman Anton Chigurh, so I can't wait to see what he does with Reiner.
Pitt is set for the supporting role of enigmatic, slimy Westray, who aids in the Counselor and Reiner's criminal dealings. The Counselor is scheduled to begin production in June.
Interestingly, Twitch says that Jolie is "very likely" for the female lead, though Vulture reported earlier this week that she was only considering a "small part." I'm not sure whether the two outlets are referring to different characters, or whether the female lead simply isn't that big a role (i.e., all the central characters are male). Since Natalie Portman is said to be circling the part of Fassbender's wife, and we haven't heard anything about Jolie displacing Portman, Jolie is probably negotiating to play Reiner's lover Malkina. The character actually sounds like a pretty perfect fit for Jolie: a mysterious, sexy, femme fatale type who's "probably the meatiest part in the script," according to The Playlist.

Diamond earrings are always popular & a small set with F/G colour diamonds made £500.
Several of the other more general household entries caused a little surprise notably a small box of linen attracting both room & internet support at £200 & a few modern used game bags made £170. A small collection of play worn Dinky toys had interest also at £170 & two miniature tool chests made £160. One buyer is clearly planning early for their Christmas roast with a 19thC. roasting dish making £120 & a 20thC. longcase clock somewhat defied current downward trends at £150.

It is just patently absurd to say women are more emotional than men. Men commit 25 times the murders; it's shocking what the numbers are. And if anyone ever sees a woman with road rage, they should write it up and send it to a medical journal. -Ben A. Barres
Men are too emotional to have a rational argument
What I want to talk about is how emotional outbursts typically more associated with men (shouting, expressing anger openly) are given a pass in public discourse in a way that emotional outbursts typically more associated with women (crying, "getting upset") are stigmatized.
I wish to dispel the notion that women are "more emotional." I don't think we are. I think that the emotions women stereotypically express are what men call "emotions," and the emotions that men typically express are somehow considered by men to be something else.
This is incorrect. Anger? EMOTION. Hate? EMOTION. Resorting to violence? EMOTIONAL OUTBURST. An irrational need to be correct when all the evidence is against you? Pretty sure that's an emotion. Resorting to shouting really loudly when you don't like the other person's point of view? That's called "being too emotional to engage in a rational discussion."
Not only do I think men are at least as emotional as women, I think that these stereotypically male emotions are more damaging to rational dialogue than are stereotypically female emotions. A hurt, crying person can still listen, think, and speak. A shouting, angry person? That person is crapping all over meaningful discourse.
What egg donation taught me about being a dude
During this whirlwind tour of human hormonal states, I got a pretty good idea of what it might be like to be a dude. And it was awesome, and involves some useful realizations about living with your lady-hormones. Here's what happened, in order:
• I had to take birth control pills for 10 days or so. They made me feel fat, stupid, and suicidal; my boyfriend at the time drove me all around Brooklyn in the middle of the night in search of rice pudding, the only food I could tolerate. We found some in a gas station in Fort Greene. Mmm, delicious gas station rice pudding!
• Then, I stopped the pills and felt better within a day; I started taking Lupron, which shuts down estrogen production. Egg donation is an overwhelming panoply of drugs and schedules — I had signed off on a medication regimen diligently explained by a nurse, I had been through injection lessons in which I plunged a syringe into a rubber thigh (kinky!), and I had just recently been obsessed with rice pudding and with wanting to die, so I didn't really pay attention to what I was suddenly shooting up with. For some reason, I had to talk to a nurse from the California, and I became very angry about something very trivial, and actually yelled at her on the phone. She said, "Jennifer! Shut up! Your estrogen's in the toilet, that's why you're angry." I shut up.
• Over the next couple of days, though, I became the happiest I had ever been. Any hate I would normally have turned inwards, I turned outwards towards others. I walked around feeling calm, content. Confident. As though I had a protective bubble around me, and whatever silly things people on the outside did were just little noises and motions emanating from a dim, faraway television that was easily ignored. I became gruff; I barked at servicepeople. But even when I was rude to others, inside I was deeply content.
• The boyfriend and I broke up. Gloriously, I didn't care very much. Yet, having a reasonable theory of mind, I was aware that I normally would care very much. I thought to myself, "Wow, I have been poisoned by estrogen for a decade," and "Can I keep taking this stuff?" It was easy to see how the calm, content, protected bubble could be a huge advantage in nearly every profession that doesn't involve infant care.
• In the final stage of the egg donation process, I began injecting estrogen itself, at which point I became a walking sexist stereotype. Imagine a lady Jesus who, instead of taking on everyone's sins, took on the PMS of all of the women in the world. That's what happens when you put a healthy 25 year old woman on extra estrogen. In my real life, I cry maybe twice a year. Not often. After a week on estrogen, I wept (not just cried — wept!) on an airplane when served an undesirable variety of peanuts.
After the eggs were finally extracted from my swollen, overstimulated ovaries, I couldn't let go of the idea that so much of what we consider our personalities — our true, inner selves — is really just hormones.
What if women ran wall street?
Here are a few things we know about testosterone: Both men and women produce it, but men make fifteen times as much of it as women, on average. It causes all sorts of physical differences—in body hair, muscle mass, jawlines, and so on. Behaviorally, it does all the things that one would expect: It is linked to increased aggression and dominance, confidence, hostility, violence, sensation-seeking, and the searching out of mates ("I felt like I had to have sex once a day or I would die," Drew—formerly Susan—Seidman told The Village Voice, after having testosterone injections as part of his transformation from a woman to a man). One of the most fascinating things about testosterone is the way it can be influenced by the environment. A man who stays home with his kids, for example, is likely to see his testosterone level drop over time. Testosterone varies throughout the day, peaking in the morning and gradually ebbing through the afternoon. Perhaps not surprisingly, single men have higher levels than married men. If you eat more meat, it tends to be higher. As it does when a man is in the presence of an attractive woman, or looking at the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. Or in a highly competitive environment with other guys, like a rugby game—or the Bear Stearns trading floor.
Another study Dreber has in the works will look at the effects of the hormones in the birth-control pill on women, because women having their periods have been shown to act more like men in terms of risk-taking behavior. "When I present that in seminars, I say men are like women menstruating," she says, laughing.
A self-described math nerd, Nancy Davis was head of Goldman Sachs' proprietary derivatives-trading desk for five years. "I think generally, women are more likely to admit that they're wrong, faster. I think there's less ego for whatever reason with women traders, the ones I know at least," she says. She made a habit of keeping her boss in the loop on every trade—something she calls having "buy-in." "If there's a position going sour on me, I'm not going to sit and say, 'I know what's best.' It would make me want to raise my hand and get advice from other people. It's like asking for directions when driving."
During the IPO heyday of the late nineties, before he became a full-time scientist, Coates was running a trading desk at Deutsche Bank. "Male traders were acting odd during the bubble," he recalls. "They were displaying what we call clinical symptoms of mania. They were delusional, euphoric, overconfident, had racing thoughts, a diminished need for sleep." One of his colleagues—a "kid" with a general-arts degree and $500,000-a-year salary—quit his job to start a nebulous Internet company. "I asked him what the Internet company would do, and he said he didn't know yet," Coates says. Meanwhile, the few women on the desk seemed mostly unaffected by the frenzy. "The guys had their eyes rolling back in their heads, desperate to get involved in what some genius was up to, and the women just didn't buy into it."
Positioning himself as a sort of endocrine whisperer of the financial system, Coates argues that if women made up 50 percent of the financial world, "I don't think you'd see the volatile swings that we're seeing." Bubbles, he believes, may be "a male phenomenon."

Sailing news: Great white sightings are rare
LARGE sharks have been in the news lately due to a couple of tragic events in northern New South Wales.
While great white sharks are known to frequent Sunshine Coast waters, divers rarely come across them underwater.
I've dived off the Sunshine Coast for almost 40 years and I've never seen a great white shark.
Local divers wishing to see them underwater choose to travel to South Australia where they can join a regular shark diving tours.
What we do know is that humans are not the natural food for sharks. If they were then we would never enter the water.
As far as I'm aware there has been no recorded shark attack on a scuba diver in Queensland.
This should give comfort to the thousands of scuba divers who take to the water each year to explore the undersea world.

Results from the 6th Asia-Pacific Wholesale Market Conference
February 10, 2015
The 6th Asia-Pacific Wholesale Markets Conference took place in Beijing from 29 January to 1 February, with the support of the WUWM Asia-Pacific Working Group and the leadership of Zengjun Ma, President of the Chinese Association of Wholesale Markets (CAWA).
This year the 30th anniversary of CAWA was celebrated and a review of the achievements made in China over this period. Awards were granted to those wholesale markets, wholesale market managers, and wholesalers having had remarkable performances or achievements in the past year.
It is remarkable to note that between 1984 and 2014 the number of Chinese food wholesale markets has increased from 862 to 4,400 (with 4,532 wholesale markets in 2012). Over 700 delegates from 25 countries were present during this conference, which included participation from wholesale market managers, wholesalers, farmer organizations, and e-commerce companies as well as ambassadors and commercial counsellors from a number of foreign embassies in Beijing.
In contrast with other countries, in China there are many wholesale markets specialized by the kind of products sold, including for example, frozen food, grain and oil, seafood, fruit and vegetables wholesale markets.
Along with the programme of technical presentations made by both Chinese national and international delegates, a trade exhibition of food products was also held.

U.S. physicians want to have a say if Medicare ends up shifting to more of a "voucher-based" or "defined contribution" system.
Members of the House of Delegates of the American Medical Association (AMA) decided Tuesday at a meeting in Honolulu to adopt a set of Medicare defined contribution program principles.
The vote tally was not immediately available.
The AMA's Council on Medical Service developed a report that calls for the United States to replace its current Medicare program — which combines a large, government-run program with some access to private Medicare Advantage plans — with a new program that would put much more emphasis on use of private plans.
The government should be able to try to shore up the Medicare program's finances by using a fixed federal subsidy payment to encourage enrollees to shop for private-plan coverage based on price, the AMA House members agreed.
The AMA House said any defined contribution Medicare program should:
- Give enrollees the option of choosing a plan comparable to the traditional Medicare plan.
- Provide higher subsidies for low-income enrollees and enrollees with chronic health problems.
- Adjust the defined contribution amounts to reflect increases in health care and health insurance costs, not on changes in gross domestic product, overall inflation, or other indicators that are not directly tied to health care costs.
- Require participating health plans to meet guaranteed issue and guaranteed renewability requirements; prohibit those plans from rescinding coverage except in cases of fraudulent representation; and require the plans to meet uniform marketing standards.
- Be designed in such a way that private alternatives to the remaining traditional Medicare plan option would provide coverage that was at least actuarially equivalent to the traditional plan benefits package.
"The Council is aware that implementing a Medicare defined contribution program should be done gradually, using a phased-in approach," Dr. Donna Sweet, the chair of the council, said in a written report on the measure. "A complete transition will involve significant, coordinated efforts by all stakeholders, including the federal government, private insurers, patient advocacy groups, and the AMA."
Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., Mitt Romney's running mate, has been a visible backer of efforts to set up a defined contribution Medicare program.
Alice Rivlin, a Democratic economist, also supports a defined contribution Medicare program.
Opponents of the defined contribution approach, including President Obama, have argued that opponents of Medicare could use the defined contribution approach to impose severe benefits cuts, and that such an approach would lead to antiselection pressure that eventually would kill the traditional Medicare plan option.
AMA members who oppose the AMA defined contribution plan measure persuaded the AMA House to include a provision calling for the AMA House to continue to study the possible effects of a shift.

Rockford school officials and police stated that a tire did not break loose from a Rockford bus as witnesses and early media agencies originally reported during a three-vehicle crash that seriously injured a woman.
"A car struck the front tire of the bus, knocking off the lug nuts on the front tire, traveling down the side of the bus, scraping it and then hitting one of the outside tires and knocking it off," said Dr. Michael Shibler, Rockford Public Schools' superintendent.
According to Shibler, the driver of the white Ford Taurus was ticketed and responsible for crossing the centerline during the early morning accident that ended up involving three vehicles on Thursday, April 19.
Early media reports and witness accounts stated that a tire came off the car, but police clarified that this was not the case. The bus was eastbound on Belding Road when the Taurus, which was westbound, drifted into the eastbound lanes and struck the front bus tire and side of the bus.
Shibler said the car spun around colliding head-on with the eastbound vehicle, a Volkswagen Passat, which was traveling behind the bus.
The driver of the Passat was taken to the hospital by AeroMed helicopter, Shibler said.
Officials confirmed that the woman's condition had stabilized as of Monday, April 23.
The woman's child who was restrained in a car seat was taken to Helen DeVos Children's Hospital as a precaution to be checked out but was not injured.
The bus had not yet picked up students, so there were no children on the bus. The bus driver was not hurt in the accident, which occurred near the Bostwick Lake Inn. The driver of the Taurus had minor injuries.
The accident occurred on Belding Road near Kitson Road shortly before 8 a.m. as the bus driver was preparing to pick up the first students.
"A tire did come off the bus, but only after the car sideswiped the bus and hit the back tire," Shibler said. "The driver of the white car was ticketed. The driver of the bus was not ticketed or at fault. The bus driver was totally in the right and there were no maintenance issues."
The car hit the bus hard enough to shear off two lug nuts on the bus' left front tire and then damaged the side before taking out one of two tires on the back of the bus.
While Shibler said the tire did fly off into a nearby yard, it did not strike any vehicles.
Rockford school officials notified parents in a brief e-mail of the accident and later, as rumors surrounded the accident, that the accident was not caused by a tire coming off the bus and hitting a vehicle.
After the accident, a different bus was sent out to pick up students for school.
The reason that the Taurus crossed the centerline is unknown and is being investigated.


text: I already did a voice post about the very disturbing but strangely funny Q&A for this film, "Danny Roane, First Time Director" , the pseudo-autobiographical comedy by comedian Andy Dick. The film itself was funny, but the pace was a bit uneven, with some of the alcoholism scenes dragging on. Of course, I can't really think about this without associating the real life behavior of Dick. He's got a very bizarre character, and it's really hard to tell what's him acting and what is really him. I'm not even sure that Andy knows anymore.

We need to learn to discern our circumstances.
Sometimes we face trials because the enemy is attempting to wreak havoc in our lives. Sometimes we face trials because we make poor decisions. Other times we face trials because God is trying to get to our heart, and is trying to train us so we can step into our promised land. When God is doing this, we can often spend time trying to put out fires in our circumstances, when really those fires are what God is using to refine our heart.
In these times, the trick is not to get the fire out of our external circumstances, it is to let the fire in to bring change to our internal culture.

Long day full of Synchronicities, observing how when you're at peace inside yourself – your external world is also at peace. There's also something to having pure intentions and innocence, where everything feels much easier. Gossipers & Conflict. Look for the best in others – don't just focus on their misgivings or where you would feel that they could improve and for yourself as well. I feel like this is my only subject on this channel. Responding to David about Russell Brand, responding to Shannon about dulling nephews shine. Ramble about how our families can teach us so much, and how navigating our unique adversities is our wisdom to share with others who are navigating their own unique adversities & challenges.

Research Overview
I have developed a unique expertise as a health communication scholar studying the role of health literacy and media influences for youth, including young adults. My research is driven by four main goals. The first is to learn how we can mitigate the negative effects of media while also investigating the use of media and new technology to improve health outcomes for youth. The second is to better understand the role health literacy plays in health outcomes for youth, and identify ways to enhance health literacy skills and the health literacy environment to improve outcomes. The third goal is to learn more about the intersection of these two areas of study, and the fourth is to improve methods used in health communication and health literacy research. To address these goals, my work incorporates theories, concepts, and methods from the fields of public health and communication. My research has addressed topics related to injury, aggression, unsafe sex, and obesity, and I am currently collecting data about new media use by parents who have children with special health care needs. I have utilized a broad range of skills and methodologies (quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods) in my work and have conducted both primary data collection and secondary data analysis. I am also beginning to use CBPR methods, and have prioritized the study of vulnerable populations in my research.

During junior year and at the beginning of sophomore year, high school students can start taking the SAT and ACT to see their college readiness as well as which area they need improvement on. Although the test is challenging many still take it for the opportunities it holds.
The SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) and ACT (American College Testing) are both standardized tests that measure a student's skills and capabilities academically. The ACT is a college entrance exam that test students in five core subjects: math, English, reading, science, and writing (optional). On the other hand, the SAT is also used for college admissions and consists of identical test sections as the SAT, except SAT doesn't have a science section, according to websites Studypoint and Princeton Review.
Students can prepare for both the ACT and SAT; the school provides prep classes as listed in CFISD curriculum and course description booklet. Students can also find free practice test online for both exams. Bookstores sale a wide range of test prep books for the standardized tests.
But some students, like junior Evin Youm who is currently taking six AP courses and is on the wrestling team, are taking a cheaper alternative DIY route for their test preparation.
"I thought it would be better to prepare by myself and spend less money," Youm said.
Junior Samantha Holcomb believes it is better to study ahead of time for yourself before doing the test because in that way you can answer questions quicker.
"I studied and mostly did my vocabulary words and tried to read more stories to have a better understanding of passages," Holcomb said.
For sophomore Anisha Patel, she took the practice SAT and studied the sections she needed the most, and found the SAT easier.
"I didn't take any ACT prep classes, but I took SAT and I felt prepared because they give you little tips of how to take the test, cause it's all made in a certain way and they write a lot of questions the same way," Patel said.

Sophomore Jonathan Cox prepares for the SAT and ACT ahead of time with Kim and Brizuela.Some of the benefits of taking the ACT/SAT are that they can connect students to scholarship opportunities by the use of National Merit Scholarship Program as listed in the website College Board. In addition, it also opens the doors for college opportunities because SAT is an admission test accepted by every U.S. college. Income-eligible SAT takers can receive college application fee waivers and more.
A perfect score a student can get on an ACT is 36 while on the SAT 1600 would be the maximum, as listed on the website CFISD web page.
"For the SAT, I think a 1350 or 1400 would be a better score because it shows you got more than half the questions right in each section and for ACT a 24 or 26 because that's where a lot of honors want," Patel said.
Although both of the ACT and SAT holds many college and university opportunities, it also puts a pressure on students that are aiming for a high level of education, as Patel claims.
"A lot of students have pressure because they feel like it's the only way to earn scholarships and its the only way to get into a good college," Patel said. "But grades, GPA, extracurricular activities and volunteering all play a factor in it. It's really difficult for many students to understand that there are other ways to get into colleges and program instead of just an ACT and SAT scores.

How to build CCNP lab on your own?
Certification: IBM Technical Sales Specialist - c762
The actual Cisco CCNP science lab is among the most challenging labs to develop as it highlights on a wide variety of items. When you find yourself building your own Cisco CCNA science lab, it is rather simple seeing that three Cisco router along with three Cisco turns will fit you in a decent placement at the rather affordable price. Absolutely less next the buying price of going to any Cisco CCNA education school along with you get to maintain the equipment to practice on for as long as you prefer. While building a Cisco CCIE science lab, you concentrate on one particular discipline for instance CCIE Security, Tone of voice, Service provider, Safe-keeping or Course-plotting along with switching which means you just have to invest in Cisco equipment for your area of expertise.
Basic approach for building the CCNP lab
For anyone who is definitely not authentic sturdy around the features, pluses and minuses of the various routers, you might want to examine our Cisco CCNA science lab recommendations. Not just are there recommendations on building a Cisco CCNA science lab, although most of us furthermore cover the majority of the features along with pluses and minuses of the various Cisco routers along with Cisco turns. System designers have to be capable of touch up the experience involving planning ahead pertaining to stuff like capability along with infrastructure enhancements. In such cases, you've planned in advance to your Cisco qualification profession. So if you have reached the actual Cisco CCNA amount along with will be ready get a CCNA science lab although you wish to make certain it machines very well for a upcoming Cisco CCNP reports, well then examine our Cisco Sophisticated CCNA/Starter CCNP sets. These were created to offer you the most beneficial practical knowledge possible from your Cisco CCNA viewpoint with all the knowing that that equipment is going to be employed being a base in your case CCNP equipment.
Requirement of real routers in place of switch
You might need a real router, as the simulators merely don't manage to provide the "hands on" it is advisable to observe what happens once you detach any cable TV or fit any cable TV inside the incorrect area. You might visit uncover speedily which mistakes you create on Router 1 usually are impacting on Router 5 all since you also would not twist in a cable TV appropriately. Not any simulator can easily simulate which.
Total routers required for setting up the lab
A couple routers actually have to observe when anything functions. Should you have an extremely limited spending budget, you are able to be given price through just investing in a individual router more than using the services of any simulator. However, you do not be capable of observe the main thing most of us making the effort to complete. The actual propagation involves route dining tables. The only method you can view should your options function, is to get at the least 2 routers. For that reason, we recommend that you get a twin router equipment that is included with each of the components you'll need. Usually you are able to invest nights attempting to find each of the very little more parts it is advisable to get the science lab ready to go.
Total number of switches required for setting up the lab
We all imagine some changes are a great quantity on your CCNP science lab. Which gives an individual the ability to configure a variety of predicaments which often demand numerous changes for instance trunking throughout multi-layer traded networks, multi-casting, QoS, VTP principles for instance pruning, generating loops as well as controlling these individuals together with STP, controlling main connection elections, numerous occupying shrub situations, Uplink Fast as well as Spine Rapid, Ether Channel as well as Layer 3 by way of 7 transitioning. A couple Layer 3 changes in addition a pair of stratum a pair of changes often perform pretty well while becoming charge scrupulous.
Layer 3 switch and its importance in the lab
This can be a change which could in addition accomplish course-plotting! Thus no need to rebound the particular site visitors outside the change, to your router just to get it dispatched right back to the very same change considering that the desired destination can be with a various subnets. These changes will certainly way which site visitors within the change as well as spend less important bandwidth as well as time! We all realize that in a very great entire world, you'll have a pair of such changes, although you can obtain simply by together with one particular.
Best ways for setting up your own CCNP lab
When you meet the lowest demands regarding CCNP science lab workbooks there isn't any very best solution to build the particular science lab. What genuinely is necessary can be your spending budget as well as long term Cisco aspirations. A lot of people wish to take advantage of this science lab to help after that enterprise away from straight into Safety measures, Voice, Cellular, for example. Therefore it is most of these tiny tips, ticks as well as skills to help an individual develop a effective CCNP science lab. While I've got definitely not included every single module you may easy use in a new CCNP science lab, I think you can view which to a certain extent you intend to customize the CCNP science lab for a ambitions as well as plan in the future. Bear in mind, the particular science lab is an excellent destination for a help make problems with no reducing the production community!
And will you want to promote the science lab as soon as you complete the official certifications, you possibly can often bargain an amount using the vendor that sold it to you personally, or perhaps you possibly can promote it yourself upon auction web sites. It's my knowledge which 95% regarding job hopefuls that gain their particular CCNA go on to help go after their particular CCNP within just twelve months, though, consequently don't promote it prematurely. In the end, you would spend only some $ 100 or so us dollars, and you achieve crucial knowledge as well as information that may help you each in your official certifications pursuit whilst your work overall performance. Possessing proved helpful my means from your CCNA to the CCIE, I am able to inform you will learn far more via really setting up as well as cabling your own gear in comparison with an individual ever before will certainly via any kind of simulation regarding genuine.

I honestly could not recommend Sandy highly enough." Lisa B on Google

We grow like trees in the daylight
We move like pines on the floor
When the wind in the evening carries us our hearts
We decide on the find that we're given unto.
Love is a forest in the moonlight
Love is the pines on the trees
Love is the heart the will (does) carry us through
It is the pine and the needle gone through
Heart is the organ of suffering
The one pine that the needle won't show
Half of this life is spent moving it's glow
Heart is the wind and the snow
Soul is the moon in the evening
It is the wind in the sun and the snow
It is the breeze that does move all these pine needles along
It's the fear of the love that will go
Sometimes I feel like you know me
Others I feel like you don't
The heart that does pump blood between us
Get's stuck as a lump in my throat
Half of the evening has left us
Half of the blood moon has dawned
Some of the people in Italian streets
Are the ones who would give us our dawn
Sunlight still shines on the paving stones
Even though we are not there
The clock striked 11 and it turned to the 12
My love left her love in the air
Sundays have turned into saturdays
Then back into Sundays again
The rift that has gone inbetween us
Still exits as it does from my head
The fallow golf struck in the morning
The deer that is far from it's home
The bird that is sat in tree smiling
Singing songs of a lover that's gone
Farewell to I
Farewell to you
The snow sits so soft in my womb
This heart is pumping
The mellow dry bloom
and it sometimes reminds me of you.

Sometimes you just have to erase the messages, delete the numbers and move on. You dont have to forget who that person was to you but you just have to accept that they arent the same person anymore.

It is so true. If we dont erase or delete the messages or numbers and when we see them again, they will make us sadder and more painful. It was in my situation.
Beautiful, meaningful proverbs
So true I need to do this
So simple. Don't hang onto the "what-if's". Freedom is within that DELETE button!

Behind the scenes, the kind of negotiations that lead to big deals that can get through Congress, like the wheeling and dealing that made Biden a kingmaker on the fiscal cliff, haven't even begun on gun control.
Just getting the parties to the table was a challenge. The NRA was not invited to a meeting with Biden until Friday, after the vice president already began meeting with other groups. Wal-Mart originally said it couldn't make it.
And Biden's meeting with the NRA might get awkward since Richard Feldman, a former gun lobbyist who wrote an NRA tell-all, will also be there.
All of this has left even staunch supporters of gun reform laws pessimistic that a big deal will head through Congress, even after the mass shooting in Newtown, Conn., last month that left 20 children dead.
"I hope a tragedy like this one will get more and more people who've kowtowed to the gun lobby to rethink that, but it's hard to be very optimistic," said former Rep. Mike Barnes (D-Md.), who duked it out with the NRA as head of the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence in the early 2000s. "It's very hard to see anything meaningful passing in this House of Representatives."

Understand Your Loan Options.
Learn What They Are and Which Might Be Right For You.
With a line of credit, you can have the peace of mind knowing you have quick and easy access to extra cash when you need it, because you have an open amount of credit for your use. You apply for a line of credit at any time and are approved for a maximum amount of money you can use whenever you need it. When you need to pay for an emergency car or home repair, have an unexpected medical bill, or just need extra cash to get through to the next payday, you can get the amount you need, up to your credit limit, from your line of credit.
Here's how it works:
- You apply and are approved for a line of credit.
- When you need emergency cash, you transfer the amount you need — up to your limit — into your checking account.
- You pay the loan back over time (paying for only what you borrow and the length of time you need it).
- You can get cash, pay it back, and then get more cash as many times as you need — up to the maximum amount of your line of credit.
- Your line of credit stays open until you decide to close it.
As long as your line of credit stays open, you don't need to reapply when you need extra cash. With a line of credit the money is ready for you when you need it.
When you use your line of credit, the funds are deposited directly into your checking account, as soon as the next business day. A line of credit can help protect you from expensive bank overdraft fees, because you will have deposited funds in your checking account to cover unexpected bills and payments.
When you repay your line of credit, you're only making payments based on the amount that you borrow against the overall line of credit and the length of time you use it.
Plain Speaking — Loan Words and Terms You Need to Know.
An ACH (Automated Clearing House) is a transaction processed through an automated clearinghouse network which facilitates many electronic interbank funds transfers. An automated clearinghouse is operated for the benefit of a number of banks in order to efficiently process the transfer of funds electronically. Since an ACH typically operates only on weekdays, you may notice disclaimers like "next business day."
This process allows you to make automatic payments and not miss a due date. You provide the bank with written permission for your lender to withdraw a specific dollar amount on specific dates directly from your account.
This legal document makes a loan official. The agreement formalizes the terms of the loan between you and the lender. When you sign a loan agreement, you enter into a contract that holds you responsible for paying back the money borrowed and any additional interest and fees.
APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is the interest payable on the amount borrowed plus other fees expressed as an annual rate of charge.
If you've missed one or more loan installments, then you're in arrears. Payment overdue? You're in arrears. People in arrears can have trouble qualifying for future credit, so talk to your creditors before your situation deteriorates further. Seek alternatives for making payments if you fall behind.
Assets are anything you own that has financial value. Your cash, property, stocks and bonds, even your home electronics are considered assets.
A balance can be the amount of money in your bank account. It can also indicate how much you owe a lender to pay off your loan.
An alternative to a quick, easy, and convenient Plain Green loan. Bank loans can involve a meeting with your bank manager and are subject to approval.
A check "bounces" when your bank account doesn't have enough funds to cover payment. (See related NSF.) The bank returns the check to the payee — unpaid. Now, in addition to still owing money to the intended recipient, the bank will most likely charge you a substantial fee.
Preparing and keeping a simple budget is one of the best things you can do to stay on top of your finances. A budget tracks your cash inflows (paycheck, interest and other income) vs. outflows (rent, groceries, gas, utilities and other expenses), so you can see what, if anything, is left.
A cash advance is money provided against a prearranged line of credit such as a credit card or a loan agreement. It can also describe a small loan made over a short period of time.
Financial Institutions provide various services and customers pay for the convenience and resources made available. Fees include interest charges and cash advance charges. Additionally, if their services are misused or terms are broken, many institutions assess penalties, including overdraft charges, bounced check fees, and late payment fees.
Checks and electronic payments go through this process when paid into your account. The clearing cycle time can vary based upon the type of credit.
A credit bureau, or credit reporting agency, collects data from numerous sources and provides information on individual consumers. Lenders use this information, sometimes in the form of a credit rating, to help them assess the credit worthiness and the likely ability of someone to pay back a loan. Examples of credit bureaus in the US are TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax.
Your credit limit is the maximum amount of money that you can borrow. The lender typically determines this amount based on a number of factors.
Credit ratings (or credit scores) are typically used by financial institutions to help them assess the credit worthiness of an individual, corporation, or even a country. They are typically derived from a number of factors including financial history and current assets and liabilities. Typically, a credit rating indicates the probability a subject will be able to pay back a loan.
This document summarizes your credit history, including information from credit bureaus, banks, retailers and collection agencies. It can also include details of your borrowing, applications for credit, court judgments and bill payment behavior. You can request a free copy of your credit report from the credit bureaus.
Debt is money owed to a person or company.
Paying back a loan before the arranged due date. Some banks charge fees for doing this. Not at Plain Green — you can pay your loan off in installments or all at once, at any time, without penalties.
A fixed-rate remains the same throughout the entire loan term.
The larger of the two income numbers on your paycheck. Your gross income is the amount your employer pays you before taxes, insurance, retirement contributions, and other withholdings are deducted.
You can look at this in two ways. Interest can be the amount you earn on your savings and investments. Interest is also the amount you pay on money you borrow. Commonly expressed as a percentage, interest is often included in the total cost of a loan. (See related APR).
With a line of credit, you're given a maximum amount that you can use over a period of time, and you can borrow against that amount as you need money. When you repay your loan, you are only making payments based on the amount you borrow.
A loan is money borrowed on condition that it's paid back per the agreement. There are several types of loans, including a quick and convenient short-term installment loan from Plain Green.
The loan period is simply the length of time you borrow money. It can last any number of days, up to years, depending upon the terms of the agreement. In most cases, interest continues to accrue throughout this repayment period.
The smaller of the two income numbers on your paycheck. This is your "take-home pay", or the amount remaining after all deductions, such as taxes, insurance, and retirement contributions have been subtracted from your gross income.
Stands for Non-Sufficient Funds and means you didn't have enough money in your account to cover your payment. Unfortunately, your financial institution will most likely assess you with additional fees or penalty charges.
Online banking (e-banking or internet banking), refers to banking services available via the web. These programs typically allow you to check your balance, order checks, pay bills, make a cash transfer, and perform other services.
This is the amount that remains to be paid back on a loan. For example, when you make regular payments on a Plain Green loan, your outstanding balance goes down with each installment.
This is another term to describe a payday loan.
A payday loan, or payday advance, is a short-term loan that's intended to cover expenses until you get paid. The lender typically charges a fixed fee based on the amount borrowed, and you have until your next payday to pay it off — regardless of when you apply. Payday loans often help people who can't get credit elsewhere. A Plain Green installment loan is typically a less costly and more flexible emergency cash alternative.
These fees are typically assessed after you have broken the terms of your agreement for things like bounced checks or Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF).
This is the date that you say you will repay your loan or make a payment on your loan.
Rate refers to the level of interest charged by a lender and is usually expressed as an Annual Percentage Rate (APR).
Basically, it's the movement of money. When you withdraw cash from your account, that's a transaction. Make a loan payment — that's a transaction.
A loan payment that is less than the amount you're expected to pay on a specific date.

Jim Epstein and Alicia Korten
By Jim Epstein and Alicia Epstein Korten
As an investment advisor and member of the Gamble family that founded Procter & Gamble, I (Jim) am often asked to sit on nonprofit boards. I have grown uncomfortable with the term not-for-profit to describe these organizations, which often embrace business principles in their operations. For example, DC Greenworks generates income from government contracts and fees for green roof installations.
In 2002 I (Alicia) had difficulty finding graduate courses that blended business and social values. At a 2009 Net Impact conference, I was overwhelmed by the presence of over 2,000 business students interested in the common good. When a conference attendee told me his girlfriend had complained of being assigned my father's book When Corporations Rule the World, a tome on pitfalls of global corporations, yet again as part of her MBA program, I knew the world was changing.
A new sector is being born that blurs the lines between for-profit and not-for-profit worlds. Business used to be about jobs and profit. Civil society organizations were the avenues to give back beyond job creation and products.
Today an increasing number of businesses are building healthy communities, living wages and sustainable products into their corporate DNA. And more civil society organizations are embracing business values.
The Private Sector Has a Broader Mission
476 companies with $2.27 billion in annual revenue are certified now as B corporations, a designation given to businesses that meet environmental, governance and social criteria by the not-for-profit B Lab.
Certification has been followed by a tidal wave of state legislation giving such businesses legal jurisdiction. Maryland, Vermont, New Jersey, California, Hawaii, New York and Virginia are front runners. In 2012 Colorado, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan and DC will likely follow.
This legislation is significant. It supersedes a body of law legally interpreted to mean corporations must consider shareholder value before taking into account other stakeholders—including communities, employees and the planet.
Jim, who played a major role in passing two of these laws, co-founded a company that will become a B corporation called Blue Ridge Produce. The company aggregates locally grown food for sale to grocery stores and institutional buyers in the Washington DC area. With the common good built into its corporate DNA, Blue Ridge Produce aims to maintain a healthy farming community in the region and will:
- provide secure markets for local farmers;
- reduce the carbon footprint by keeping food closer to home; and
- convert conventional growers to organic producers.
Business networking organizations like the Social Venture Network (SVN), B Lab, Social Enterprise Alliance, Investors' Circle and the Business Alliance for Local Living Economies (BALLE) are further helping the trend become a global movement.
While the Nonprofit Sector is Adopting Business Principles
Change is also happening within civil society organizations, motivated in part by technology entrepreneurs grounding their philanthropy in business values. The Skoll Foundation funded by eBay mogul Jeffrey Skoll provides grantees funding to develop engines of growth. Called resource engines, some grantees are using funds to build business principles into their non-profit structures.
Created in 2009, the civil society organization Practice Greenhealth receives over half of its annual budget from membership dues paid by health providers like Kaiser Permanent in exchange for services aimed at greening their hospitals. Founder Gary Cohen built this resource engine after talking to entrepreneurs at the Skoll World Forum.
Language Is Powerful
Nothing captures an emerging trend like a name.
A name can in fact determine whether an idea or product popularizes or stays relegated to a small group of believers. Just look at the dolphin fish. Only when restaurants began using its Hawaiian name Mahi-Mahi did this fish, which has no relation to the dolphin, begin to gain popularity in the United States. After all, who wants to eat Flipper with an apricot glaze?
Social enterprise, mission-driven business and for benefit corporations are a few of the descriptors for organizations blending business principles with common good aims
We believe the movement can better communicate the power and purpose of this emerging field.
A New Operating System: The Common Good Enterprise
In our search for better lexicon, Jim came across a neglected phrase we would like to bring center stage: "the common good enterprise." Here's our definition:
A for-profit or not-for-profit organization whose primary purpose is to promote the well-being of people and/or the planet. The organization generates at least a percentage of its revenue through the sale of goods and services (adapted from Kevin Lynch; Advertising on Higher Ground).
Why "common good enterprise"?
Its power is its clarity.
Common comes from the word "commons," which describes a relationship to the community as a whole. Common good intuitively includes a regard for the planet, respect for individuals' human rights, and support of communities.
The word "enterprise" is also self-explanatory—and speaks to revenue generated from the sale of goods and services.
Common good enterprise is clearer than other terms such as its more popular sibling "social enterprise." Does "social enterprise" exclusively describe businesses? Or non-profits? Does "social" include the planet? Only leaps of the imagination can make the connection.
The labels we use for this new field matter. Easy to grasp language provides a framework to help the public co-create this emerging sector.
Clear terms can translate into financial benefit. Why not pass legislation providing government procurement advantages to common good enterprises—whether companies or civil society organizations? Could such language catalyze new capital pools?
It's time to embrace "common good enterprise"—a term for organizations using business principles in support of the common good that will help mainstream the movement and make opportunities this field opens up a reality.
