Options Alpha Review
Option Alpha offers loads of different features. They have everything from podcasts, options trading courses to backtesting software, live trade alerts and more. Instead of presenting each of these features separately, I will divide the features into three categories: free, pro and elite. Those are the three membership options at Option Alpha and with each, you get access to different features.
Option Alpha is an options trading platform started by Kirk Du Plessis. The site covers a broad swath of options trading strategies, but the site is mostly focused on the more quantitative based spread style of options trading, as opposed to something more directionally-minded like buying long-term LEAPS.
The site is run by Kirk Du Plessis who got started his career finance not as an options trader, but as an investment banker working on M&A deals at Deutsche Bank. Later, he moved onto BB&T Capital Markets, where he worked as a REIT analyst. Given his resume, it's safe to say that he knows the markets pretty well.
Kirk's dream of becoming a full-time trader started when he was working on Wall Street and trading his own account on the side.
There are three different memberships at Options Alpha, the Free Membership, Pro Membership, and Elite Membership. The free membership at Option Alpha is much better than many of the paid ones. It comes with lots of quality training, but we did find it to be rather slow and boring.
The Pro Membership costs $99 a month and comes with daily option trade alerts, trade reviews, and forum access. This allows one to follow Kirk's trades and ask questions to other members.
The Elite Membership costs $299 a month and gives you access to all the other membership options, plus weekly strategy calls, coaching, and software discounts. For the price of $299 a month, I would expect the software to be free, not just discounted.
In addition to their monthly subscriptions, Option Alpha sells lifetime licenses to their web-based tools like backtesters, strategy optimizers, and scanners.
Trading Alerts
Kirk and his team at Option Alpha are transparent about their trading track record, with a page on their website dedicated to tracking their performance and various metrics like which trades perform the best, and their probability of success on a given trade.
I think the elite membership is much more valuable than the pro membership. The pro membership posts no research so not sure what or why the trading is happening. At least with the elite membership, it ties in the options trading education, unlike the pro membership. The weekly strategy calls and monthly live Q&A calls are there to help you understand options, strategies, and other concepts. The Q&A calls give you the ability to ask questions and receive instant feedback.
With that being said, I still think that it is quite pricey. $299 per month is definitely not cheap. I can't tell you if this is worth it. You have to decide that by yourself, but we feel there are better options out there. You have to find out how much you value regular small group coaching.
Rather than selling training courses for a one-time cost, Option Alpha runs on a subscription model with two paid tiers. Instead, the site offers a vast array of courses for free as a funnel to generate more paying members. The goal is if you join their free training they will convert you into a customer for their alert service.
Their training is fairly good for free, but it is certainly not as good as some of the other paid training services we have received. A coupe of the paid training services we have reviewed are phenomenal, easy to watch, and really really force viewers to understand. The Options Alpha training was good, but we could not wait for the video to end.
Over a sample size of 4,211 trades, Kirk has an expected value of $36 per trade. If the last 30 days is at all representative of an average month for Kirk and Option Alpha, then taking every trade that Kirk takes in the same size and fill prices should net you about $2,124 per month, and about $25,000 per year. Our test was about half that, so although results were still good, not as good as one would like to believe.
While I've been a bit critical of Option Alpha and Kirk Du Plessis throughout this review, this doesn't mean I don't see any value in their services, just that I think they're flawed. It's important to remember that Kirk is a transparent, consistently profitable trader, a very rare thing in this trading education industry.
My main gripe with Option Alpha is that, if you were to follow Kirk's trades, it would only be side income for you, especially given that you're probably trading in smaller size than Kirk. Taking into account that you'll only clear a small amount post-tax, and you have to pay for your Option Alpha subscription, one has to wonder what their hourly rate comes out to when trading this style.
A subscription to Option Alpha isn't for everyone, but there is certainly a demographic of people who will steadily grow their accounts alongside Kirk and the community.

Hop Against Homophobia
The International Day Against Homophobia, held on May 17 every year, is a rallying event offering an opportunity for people to get together and reach out to one another.
2011 was marked by a series of breakthroughs at the United Nations concerning the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) persons. On 17 June 2011, the UN adopted the first ever resolution on the human rights of LGBT persons, followed by the release of the first UN report last December.
I quote from this report: "The findings and recommendations of the report will support the strengthening of the legislative environment for rights protection of people most-at-risk, vulnerable and living with HIV, including MSM and transgender persons.
"As we mark the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia, UNDP expresses its solidarity with the LGBT community in claiming their rights and denouncing human rights abuses against them.
"Despite these developments, a number of countries still have laws that criminalize same-sex relations between consenting adults. In the Philippines, while the society may appear tolerant towards LGBT, stories of stigma and discrimination among members of the community still persist."
What troubles me today is that Filipino superstar boxer, Manny Pacquiao – a man whose fights I will NEVER watch again – came out against same sex marriage. In a landmark week when US President Obama spoke passionately about his changed views and endorses marriage equality, Pacquiao had to come out and say something stupid.
I am proud that we have a President who can come to a new, compassionate realization based on actual people he knows, friends and staffers who are suffering under DOMA. One by one, those who don't know same sex couples, will, I hope, actually befriend a same sex couple and care enough about them to champion their plight.
Ignorance is not bliss. It breeds misunderstanding, fear…and stupid boxers.
Pacquaio's comments are especially troubling considering UN's recent report from the NGO Philippine LGBT Hate Crime Watch.
"It is estimated that over 160 LGBT-related hate crimes have been documented since 1996. The prevailing stigma associated with homosexuality and sexual diversity drives members of the community to situations that place their physical, mental and social well-being at greater risk.
"This has resulted in an escalating epidemic of HIV among men having sex with men (MSM) and transgender persons in that country. As reported by the Department of Health, about eight out of ten reported cases of HIV each day are acquired through same-sex transmission. Experience has shown that when people are stigmatized because of their sexual orientation or identity, they are less likely to access the HIV services they need. Therefore, this leads to new HIV infections and AIDS deaths."
Pacquaio was quoted as saying gay men should be put to death. I don't read Tagalog but I know Manny and he's no rocket scientist. He was quoting from the Bible and claims he was misquoted. Whatever…
I Google Translated his quotes but since his initial statement he is now saying he is not against gay men, just same-sex marriage. I am saddened that a man who has the power to do so much, to teach a tide of change, is making public statements like this.
One day, blogs such as this and days like today will no longer be necessary…
Until then, I live in passionate hope.

The Center for Research and Security Studies (CRSS) conducted its sixth Pak-Afghan Youth Dialogue under its Afghan Studies Center initiative on Friday, November 24, 2017, as part of its ongoing series of monthly dialogues aimed at enhancing people to people contact between the youth of Pakistan and Afghanistan. The theme of the dialogue focused on 'Addressing the Issue of Extremism in Pakistan and Afghanistan' which was attended by 26 participants, comprising young Afghan and Pakistani students and activists belonging to Kabul, Islamabad, Ghazni, FATA, Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gujranwala, in addition to other areas.
Ms. Ammara Durrani, an independent polymath professional and management consultant with 14 years of leadership experience working with international, regional and national organizations on a range of strategic programmatic initiatives in areas of conflict, peacebuilding & counter-violent extremism, was the chief guest, while Mr. Aized Ali, Project Director at CRSS, moderated the dialogue. Ms. Durrani, in her presentation, extended a warm welcome to all the young Afghan and Pakistani participants present, stating she felt excited to be in the same room with Afghan and Pakistani youngsters sitting side by side and showing their goodwill gesture for a positive future. She expressed her grief over the deterioration of the once strong connection of affiliation the two nations held, hoping optimistically for the improvement of their bilateral relations soon in the coming times.
Speaking on the theme, Ms. Durrani, categorized the different shades of extremism existing in the present world, delineating that some is religiously motivated, some politically while some even economically, in addition to other contributing factors. She said it was important firstly that the Pakistani and Afghan youth make clear these distinctions between the different types and factors behind each type of extremism to be able to grasp the root cause of growing extremism in the South Asian region and then work towards curbing its various forms from proliferating and intensifying. She also urged the youngsters not to necessarily repeat the state narratives as their narratives but to build their own according to their understanding, discretion and research as responsible citizens. She said this was the only constructive way forward for the youth of both countries to achieve a peaceful and prosperous future in both countries. In this process, she affirmed, it was also the duty of the elders to be truthful to the younger generation so they are not misled.
To gauge the understanding of the youth present, Ms. Durrani put forth some thought-provoking questions. These included firstly whether the issue of extremism is about clash of ideologies or whether it is nationalistic in nature? Furthermore, since the global war on terrorism was waged on Al-Qaeda and its ultra-extremist ideology, what has replaced Al-Qaeda today and why is extremism still on the rise? She also asked the participants to share their views on what compels the youth towards extremist narratives in the contemporary world.
Some Afghan participants were of the view that extremism has nothing to do with the religion of Islam and that it rather appears to be politically motivated since decades. What we need to understand is that the youth need to disengage with interest-based leaders and politicians and only engage for positivity, a participant said. Pakistan and Afghanistan have several bilateral issues to resolve, but there is always a way out and the youth can act as a launching pad for that, he said.
Several Pakistani participants also highlighted the issue of extremism creeping in educational institutes across the country, pointing out that the concern is not limited to addressing the issue of extremism through spreading awareness and educating the masses but the way education is imparted in institutions. Hence, the responsibility also lies with teachers to inculcate peaceful narratives to students so youngsters are not incited towards extremism and violence. Other participants pointed towards the role of the media in shaping perceptions of the general public by the way the media portrays certain groups or countries or plays a role in fueling hatred and hostility between people, inciting them towards intolerance and violence in the process.
Frank Sun, a Chinese researcher also present in the dialogue, shared his views about the theme of extremism and how China has dealt with it. He said that conflicts within a country or with neighboring states feed extremist ideologies. He recalled that when China emerged as a power in the region, the first problem it faced was in dealing with its neighbors most of which were in US bloc of capitalism in the Cold War period. What China did to deal with the situation was to engage with neighboring countries on the basis of common interests and set aside their disputed matters for some time to build on trust first, he said. Consequently, they converged on more common interests, achieved harmony in the process, and, as a result, extremism was able to be controlled to an extent for the greater good.
At the end of the discussion, the participants commended the efforts of CRSS in bringing together the youth of both countries through such constructive dialogues that instill critical thinking in them for the good of both countries and expressed that such conferences and platforms would help young Afghans and Pakistanis to reconstruct their perspectives regarding issues such as 'extremism' and consequently play a positive role in their respective circles of influence. Mr. Aized Ali, CRSS Project Director Beyond Boundaries, also apprised the participants on CRSS' efforts in contributing to the improvement of relations between the two neighbors under its project Beyond Boundaries which has recently entered its third phase.
To conclude the dialogue, Ms. Durrani stated that it was time Pakistan and Afghanistan focused on the many common grounds for cooperation that they share, and get united in countering the common enemy of terrorism as well as work on mitigating the factors that create extremism to begin with. As has been CRSS' tradition, at the end Mr. Aized Ali nominated Ejaz ul Haq Ateed, a participant from Afghanistan, as CRSS-ASC's sixth Pak-Afghan Youth Ambassador who was awarded a shield as a token by Ms. Ammara Durrani. Previously, Sarfaraz Ahmed Orakzai from Pakistan was nominated as Youth Ambassador. The session ended with group photo and refreshments.

The town says Utica Bakery, located in a neighborhood on Apex Barbecue Road, is in violation of code.
Philip DeSimone, the father of the bakery owner, said he feels Utica Bakery, is almost like a speakeasy because appointments have to be made to pick up orders at the location, and they can't sell on site, but they can ship or deliver.
The Town of Apex told ABC11 these are the stipulations under their permit - which is called a "home occupation."
"We're in the process of setting up online sales," DeSimone said, "so it'll be easier for the people to order online and we can deliver to them, or in our parking lot it's actually a separate address."
He said their family started the bakery because his son, Vinny DeSimone, 22, gets seizures, can't drive and this is his way of making a living.
"This was a way for him to still have an opportunity in his field," Philip said, "plus we're able to monitor him and make sure he has a safe environment."
The Town has found them in violation of zoning laws for selling there before and said their commercial oven has to go if they want to stay in compliance with building codes.
The bakery, which has only been around since November, posted a survey online to see if it has support from its neighbors.
The Town told ABC11 that the bakery is no longer violating zoning laws as it stopped selling on site, adding:
"We echo the support that the community has for Utica baker - we want this home-based business to succeed. Town staff is working with the bakery to help them comply with State building code ... This is the same way we treat all businesses, whether home-based or located in commercial spaces, throughout Apex."
"We want to work together as a community," Philip DeSimone said. "We want to work together with the town. So I just hope we can come to a solution and just work together."

Jacques Tati - The Height of Comic Discretion
- Tony McKibbin
- 4 November 2009
Retrospective part of French Film Festival 2009
Nobody put it better than the French critic André Bazin when describing Jacques Tati thus: "he himself seems unfinished; one might speak of his 'discretion of being'". Born in 1907, Tati was certainly educationally incomplete. David Bellos in his excellent biography of the comedian notes Tati nicely replying to a teacher who congratulated him on his fame: "I've forgotten everything you ever tried so patiently to get into my head…I do remember you as a kind and gentle teacher". A colleague of Tati's noted he even had a few problems with simple arithmetic.
Tati's genius for logic lay elsewhere, and numerous commentators have admired the accumulation of detail that led either to wonderful pay offs or a deliberate refusal to let a gag have the expected conclusion. In Monsieur Hulot's Holiday there is a lovely moment where a child walks with two ice creams in his hand along the street, up some stairs and hands one over to the little girl and keeps the other one for himself. Do we expect a mishap? We may anticipate it, but that isn't what Tati delivers, as what we assume is a going to be a gag about a child's misfortune, becomes no more than the very mild amusement of watching a boy protect his precious bounty. Tati offers us a benign observation that denies the malign pay-off – the cruel humour that insists the ice cream must fall out of its cone; that the boy trip up on the stairs.
On other occasions Tati very much follows through on the joke but again plays with our expectations. Near the end of Monsieur Hulot's Holiday, Tati shows us Hulot during the day chased out of an estate by a dog, and then cuts to another situation altogether as though the gag has been completed. But then it is evening and we hear the sound of the yapping dog and that Hulot is still being chased. This leads into the film's major set-piece, where Hulot, hiding out in a shed, sets off the fireworks that start to fly in all directions – including at the hotel Hulot's been staying in, and where he has already over the course of the film been involved in numerous minor mishaps.
There is a consistency though, whether Tati astutely observes the boy with the ice-cream, or offers a literally running gag that leads into the film's set-piece denouement, and it resides in a subtle distrust of conventional comic logic. Bazin again proves useful: "Burlesque, French as well as American, is based on the gag, and the gag always supposes the exhaustion of the situation." When Tati refuses the gag or extends it, he seems to be denying the logic of form for the discretion of being, for a gentleness of comic moments that denies what is central to cruelty in humour: schadenfraude – the pleasure gained from watching the mishaps of others.
Indeed there is another element of this gentleness that Bellos notices, and he talks of the three ways to reveal a sight gag based on somebody taking something for something else. The first is to let the character realize himself that he's made an error of judgement, the second, is where another character points out the mistake, and the third where only the viewer notices. In Monsieur Hulot's Holiday for example Hulot's about to give a character a kick in the backside for what he assumes is spying on somebody else, only to notice that he's actually taking a picture of his family. The scene is set up in such a way that we like Hulot assume the man is a voyeur, only for both the viewer and Hulot to see at the last moment that Hulot and we have misread the situation. Bellos reckons that gags of the second type "are almost entirely absent from Tati's work" and that usually we see characters noticing the error of their own perceptual ways, or the viewer observing them even if the character does not. What Tati rarely practises is a sort of perceptual one-upmanship: where a character gets to laugh at or be superior to another character's misfortune – the sort of humour that can make slapstick so cruel.
Critics have also noted that one reason why such superiority of one character over another isn't acted out is that characters rarely interact. And how could they when dialogue is noise more than communication, where characters speak because they have mouths? It is a variation on Heidegger's babble, yet this is less social critique than perhaps a benign acceptance that often what we say is of no more consequence than how we say it. Near the end of Jour de Fete it is true that after the central character, the postman François, careers into the river on his bike, that the village locals express in words that Francois should relax. Just because he has seen an American film showing high levels of efficiency in postal delivery; it doesn't mean François has to emulate it. But most of the expression comes through intonation and body language; the words almost superfluous – as they would increasingly become in Tati's work.
Sometimes Tati's genius for the unexpressed in language allows for the brilliance of comic expression elsewhere. In one scene from Playtime Monsieur Hulot sits on one seat while another character sits nearby. Here we do have a scene of potential rivalry as the other man seems to see Hulot as potential competition for a job, and we notice how every gesture resembles an animal marking its territory: Tati amplifies the sound so that the man taking out his pen, writing on paper, or even the sound of his finger touching his face, comes across as low-key aggression. Like the waiter in Monsieur Hulot's Holiday, or the woman who tells Hulot that they're not looking for acrobats in Mon Oncle, this is the tyranny of the fastidious, of people who assume that their purpose in the world is somehow more significant than those of others – and especially more important than the likes of the socially incompetent Hulot.
This nevertheless doesn't result in the low-key aggression of much comedy; instead it brings out the forlorn tenderness of those who live not so much for work, nor especially leisure – though critics have noticed how central even to Tati's titles is relaxation (Jour de Fete, Monsieur Hulot's Holiday, Playtime) – but the capacity for observational remove. For a critic like Noel Bürch, such moments would seem to fit into the rhythmic consistency of the film: that it moves between "strong and weak moments, between deliberately action-packed, screamingly funny passages and others just as deliberately empty, boring and flat." But surely a couple of early moments in Monsieur Hulot's Holiday, like the one where we see the young boy's head poking out of the bus driver's steering wheel or the two umbrellas colliding with each other, while not incredibly funny aren't boring either. Maybe it is more useful to think of casual observation and accumulated observation, of the accumulated gag that leads to the fireworks going off in Monsieur Hulot's Holiday and François racing around trying to deliver mail in Jour de Fete, as opposed to the isolated moment that observes the funny in everyday life but doesn't build towards a comic set-piece. This still allows Bürch's rhythmic comment to hold, but from a slightly different perspective.
What is certainly true is that Tati's work absorbs boredom as a human state. Whether it is some of the holidaymakers in Monsieur Hulot's Holiday who seem merely to be killing time or the three workers in Playtime who get in their car almost simultaneously, Tati captures a certain tedium in everyday life. In the scene in Playtime he does so partly, as in much of his work, through the ingenuity of sound, as the car doors click one after the other. Yet at the same time as showing boredom, few comic filmmakers more clearly illustrate the potentiality in escaping it, as Hulot is a greater observer of human behaviour, and seems to find the world endlessly fascinating. Where other major filmmaker of the period (Antonioni with Red Desert; Godard with Two or Three Things I Know About Her, even John Boorman with Point Blank) show the architecturally contemporary as problematic, Tati's reservations in Playtime are contained by observations. When the literary critic James Wood said "Nabokov's fiction is always becoming propaganda on behalf of good noticing" the same could be said of Tati. Burch may see dead passages; but others will see 'good noticing'.
Tati's ambition however was to make such noticing as open as possible, and often critics talk of the democratic comedy especially of Playtime, where there are several planes of action, and a number of potential gags going off within the frame. Some have questioned this, including Lucy Fischer in an influential article in Sight and Sound, where she talks of Tati's use of sound and colour to indicate where the humour lies. But as Jonathan Rosenbaum said in reply to Fischer's claim that Tati was "a marvellously benevolent despot", "Tati functions rather less as a 'benevolent despot' and somewhat more as a duly elected official". What seems clear is that Tati wasn't interested in bullying in form and content, but wanted a discreet comedy of unassuming perception. Whether that was true on the set is another story altogether, and there are plenty tales of Tati's bullying ways and caricaturing of amateurs that usually made up his cast. But that is an issue for biographers more than critics. Bellos says at the end of his book that Tati's funeral was a deliberately unassuming affair, with less than a dozen people in attendance. If it had been "left entirely to Tati's discretion, he would have had his body stuffed into a bin-bag and put out with the rubbish". We might add that Tati might have wished it to be so to see if anybody would have noticed: a final sight gag for the keenly observant.

University Park, Pa. -- Several Penn State centers with a focus on the sports industry will present an interdisciplinary panel discussion with Pittsburgh Steelers' Chairman Dan Rooney, son of the Steelers' founder Art "the Chief" Rooney, from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Monday, April 7, in 110 Business Building, University Park.
The panel discussion, "Sports Governance and Equal Opportunity: The Life's Perspectives of Pittsburgh Steelers' Chairman Dan Rooney," commemorates the recent publication of Rooney's autobiography, "Dan Rooney: My 75 Years with the Pittsburgh Steelers and the NFL."
Panelists will discuss the Rooney family's role with the NFL from several different perspectives: Penn State Athletic Director Timothy Curley will address the similarities and differences between the Rooney's role in NFL governance and the role of an athletic director in governing the Big Ten Conference; Vice President for Educational Equity Terrell Jones will discuss the Rooney family's acts and promotion of NFL rules designed to increase diversity in front office management and coaching, and the implications of these initiatives for broader concerns about diversity and equity; Director of The Penn State Institute for Sports Law, Policy and Research, Law Professor Stephen Ross will tackle the Rooney family's role as extraordinary owners in governing the NFL, and whether the league's structure is well designed in light of the behavior of typical owners.
The panel discussion was initiated by the Penn State Institute for Sports Law, Policy and Research, as part of its mission to promote dialogue between students of sport and major industry participants, aid scholars in policy-oriented research and facilitate the dissemination of this research to policy makers and industry participants, and serve as resource for journalists, lawyers and others concerned about sports and public policy. This mission is enhanced by the program's co-sponsors, the Center for Sports Business & Research in the Smeal College of Business, the John Curley Center for Sports Journalism, and the Department of Athletics.
For more information about the sports law institute, visit http://www.dsl.psu.edu/centers/sportsinstitute.cfm. Information about the journalism center can be found at http://comm.psu.edu/sports/index.html. For information about the launch of the new business center, see http://live.psu.edu/pstory/28123.
Copies of Rooney's autobiography will be available for purchase at the event, which is open to the public free of charge. A book signing will be held from 3 to 3:30 p.m.

Steve's Outdoor Adventures
This story really started several years ago, when Nunami Outfitters closed its doors and left my customers standing on the tarmac in Montréal without a hunt, forcing my company to refund thousands of dollars in hunting fees we had paid to our Canadian "partner" only to have them go out of business in the middle of hunting season. The following years, we heard about steep declines in caribou populations across the region, and while most reports were poor, we received some good news from time to time as well. As I deciphered the information, I learned that the George River herd was nearly gone: shrunken from a high of 700,000 animals to only about 12,000 animals at last count. With all hunting for the George River caribou herd closed, I had assumed the same fate for the infamous Leaf River herd, only to find out that I was likely incorrect.
I run a booking agency and host two TV series on the Outdoor Channel in the United States. I make my living hunting and booking hunters on quality big game hunts. That said, I don't take chances with my reputation and book hunters only with outfitters that I have personally developed relationships and hunted with. This ensures my customers have the best possible hunting experiences. And because caribou hunts are in high demand, I needed to find out if there was a huntable population of caribou in the Leaf River herd. So I started contacting various outfitters that operate in the area, and after many phone calls, emails and hours of research, I decided to schedule my hunt with Richard Hume and Jack Hume Adventures. Since we would also be filming the hunts for our TV series, we worked with the Department of Tourism and the Québec Outfitters Federation to be sure we had obtained all of the correct permits and made the proper travel arrangements.
The hunt was scheduled for the week of August 21–28 at the start of their season. We first flew into Montréal and spent the night. Early the next morning, we checked our gear with the staff and caught a flight north to Pau Lake (Caniapiscau), where we had a short wait to catch a flight in a floatplane to our camp. I was joined on the hunt by my good friend, police officer Cody Bowen, as well as camera operators Dan Thorstad and Warren Robertson. Our camp was rounded out by two other hunters, John Hand and Bobby Clark.
After arriving in camp we checked the zero on our rifles and settled in for the evening. And while we spotted only three caribou on the horizon, we knew others would be here soon. We just didn't know how soon.
The next day, we took a boat to the far end of the lake with our guide Jamie Nadeau and immediately started seeing dozens of caribou. By mid-morning, we had seen over 300 different animals and a few dozen bulls. Around 2 p.m., I spotted a huge bull cresting the skyline and coming right at us. I told Cody that he should take this bull. Because you get only one bull caribou tag, you want to "make it count," and this bull was incredible, with big tops and even bigger shovels and bez. After a short stalk to intercept the lone bull, he spotted us and took off for the horizon. We got set up, and at 350 yards, the bull gave us one last look. Cody put the 300-yard crosshair in the Burris scope on his back and squeezed the trigger on his .30-06 Bergara B-14 rifle. The bull ran a short distance and piled up. As we got closer, the rack got larger, and I knew we were looking at a special beast.
With Cody tagged out, it was my turn to hunt. I have been fortunate enough to take several caribou in my hunting career, so I was looking for something very special. And after passing up literally dozens of bulls, I found what I was looking for three days later. The bull had incredible top points, and I was able to stalk to within 125 yards and take him with my CVA Accura V2 muzzleloader. The velvet bull was completely developed and hard-horned under the soft exterior. I was impressed with how skillfully the guides caped and cared for the trophies and meat.
For the next few days, we enjoyed amazing fishing for brook and lake trout and watched caribou walk past our camp almost daily as we waited for our floatplane ride back to Pau Lake and return to Montréal to catch a flight home. We had hit the caribou migration flush, and while I have no idea how many caribou we saw, it must have been in the hundreds; likely a few thousand. I interviewed the hunters who had been in all of the other camps, and most of them had had the same experience. We had been scattered across hundreds of miles of the vast tundra, and everyone got to fill their caribou tags with bulls of all sizes. After returning home, we found out that while my bull was not large enough to qualify for the B&C record books, Cody's was. We are scheduling an official measurement date for entry into the all-time record books with a score well over the 400 B&C mark.
I came "seeking truth," and I saw firsthand that the Leaf River herd, while not as plentiful as it once was, still has a more than viable hunting population. I was told by more than one reliable source that the Leaf River herd numbers between 300,000 and 350,000 animals, which is more than enough to support a 1% sport hunting harvest. We are now offering caribou hunts to our clients through Jack Hume Adventures and look forward to both working with Richard and his family and the TV show that will be featured in January 2017 on Outdoor Channel's hit program, "The Adventure Series."

The carriers include Nextel Communications, Sprint PCS and Verizon Wireless. AT&T Wireless and Cingular also won delays, but only for portions of their networks using a certain phone standard, according to the FCC ruling released Friday. The FCC's enforcement arm is mulling over possible punishments, which could include fines, against these two carriers.
The FCC has also delayed deciding the fate of smaller carriers, mostly in rural areas, which have not filed any waiver requests. The enforcement delay, however, is "only for a brief period of time," the FCC noted.
The delays allowed by the FCC don't push back the deadlines to have in place a system to locate 95 percent of those that dial 911 from a cell phone. That deadline is still Dec. 31, 2005.
Instead, the FCC granted delays for carriers to meet certain steps in the process. AT&T, for instance, was given a month more time to begin building its network. Nextel won the biggest of the delays. It was supposed to begin selling cell phones that are E911-ready by Oct. 1, but it now has another year to do so.
The first deadline in the complex, five-year series of steps was Oct. 1, and for many it meant the date that carriers had to begin building their systems. The deadline passed without a single U.S. carrier coming into compliance. Sprint came closest, however. On Monday, it began selling handsets that would work on the system, although it didn't have the network in place.
In its Friday order, the FCC vowed to keep a close eye on the carriers as they begin to work on the extended time schedules. According to the FCC, the carriers will have to start filing quarterly updates on their progress, beginning next year.
The waivers came with a stern warning from FCC Commissioner Michael Powell.
"I am disappointed and unsatisfied with the progress we have made," the commissioner said in a statement. "I know and respect that carriers have made concerted strides in this area, but those efforts must be redoubled. It goes without saying that there is a new sense of urgency around using mobile phones as important safety devices. They have become indispensable tools for calling for help and for delivering help.
"Thankfully, we are only at the beginning of the implementation of this process and not at the end."
Ritch Blasi, a spokesman for AT&T Wireless, said that the FCC has done a "good job in recognizing the technological challenges the E911 system posed." Representatives for other carriers were unable to comment.
This is the second time carriers have won delays from the FCC to implement the E911 system, which the FCC first demanded in 1996 after realizing police were able to determine the location of those dialing 911 from traditional landline phones using software on the telephone network, but they could not locate those using cell phones. Instead, emergency operators had to ask questions, which delayed rescue efforts with sometimes-fatal results.
The FCC originally set a 1998 deadline for carriers to begin building their E911 systems. That was delayed until Oct. 1, 2001, because the technology was not available.
FCC Commissioner Michael Copps was the only commissioner opposed to granting the requests. He saved his harshest criticism for carriers Nextel and Verizon.
Nextel, he notes, said it won't even begin selling phones with the appropriate hardware to let police know where a cell phone caller is located until Dec. 2002. The carrier also said it will wait until 2004 to make every phone it sells compliant with the FCC directive, Copps noted.
That leaves Nextel two years behind carriers Sprint, AT&T and Cingular, which now have promised the FCC that every phone they sell by Dec. 2002 will be compliant with the E911 system.
Verizon also indicated it will continue to sell phones that won't work on an E911 system until December 2003. That's a year later than Sprint promised, even though both companies will be using the same technology. Verizon won't have some hardware placed into its telephone networks until March 2003.
Nextel has told the FCC it is relying on Motorola for the phones and network hardware, which Motorola said is delayed in shipping. Verizon has told the FCC that it's original E911 technology failed, and it had to switch to the Motorola gear as well.
"The country cannot afford to go down (this) road," Copps wrote. "I hope instead that carriers and manufacturers will not seek further extensions."
FCC Commissioner Kathleen Abernathy, who supported the waivers, wrote "while I am disappointed....(a) denial would not lead to the miraculous introduction of equipment by manufacturers or any other silver bullet solution."

CD223 (LAG-3), PE-eFluor 610, clone: 3DS223H, eBioscience™
Mouse Monoclonal Antibody
Brand: Affymetrix eBioscience 61-2239-41
Code : NEW
Additional Details : Weight : 0.23750kg
DescriptionDescription: This 3DS223H monoclonal antibody recognizes human CD223 also known as Lymphocyte Activation Gene 3 (LAG-3). LAG-3 is a 70-kDa surface glycoprotein belonging to the Ig superfamily with homology to CD4. LAG-3 binds to MHC class II with higher affinity than CD4 and is thought to be involved in the negative regulation of T cell activation and homeostatic proliferation. Surface expression of LAG-3 has been reported on activated T cells (including regulatory T cells) and NK cells. CD8+ T cells usually express LAG-3 at significantly higher levels than CD4+ T cells. Coexpression of LAG-3 and CD49b has been proposed to identify human and mouse Type 1 regulatory T cells (Tr1 cells).This 3DS223H antibody will recognize a formaldehyde-fixed epitope.Applications Reported: This 3DS223H antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.Applications Tested: This 3DS223H antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by flow cytometric analysis of stimulated normal human peripheral blood cells. This can be used at 5 μL (0.125 μg) per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. PE-eFluor™ 610 can be excited with laser lines from 488-561 nm and emits at 607 nm. We recommend using a 610/20 band pass filter (equivalent to PE-Texas Red™). Please make sure that your instrument is capable of detecting this fluorochome.Light sensitivity: This tandem dye is sensitive to photo-induced oxidation. Please protect this vial and stained samples from light.Fixation: Samples can be stored in IC Fixation Buffer (cat. 00-8222) (100 μL of cell sample + 100 μL of IC Fixation Buffer) or 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution (cat. 00-5333) for up to 3 days in the dark at 4°C with minimal impact on brightness and FRET efficiency/compensation. Some generalizations regarding fluorophore performance after fixation can be made, but clone specific performance should be determined empirically.Excitation: 488-561 nm; Emission: 607 nm; Laser: Blue Laser, Green Laser, Yellow-Green Laser.Filtration: 0.2μm post-manufacturing filtered.

Skip to 0 minutes and 9 seconds There are some views that perhaps Industrie 4.0 is a lot of hype. That following the global economic downturn it was a way of German manufacturing PR of rebranding manufacturing capability. But I think when I saw Professor Kagermann actually present at the Royal Academy of Engineers, he said something that really resonated with me. And he explained that the ICT-enabled convergence of business and technological processes will herald the next age of, he said German, but manufacturing. And for me this is absolutely critical because what it's saying, in a sense, is that the internet will enable us to actually bring together both technology and our business processes to create new and innovative ways of doing business.
Skip to 0 minutes and 56 seconds And that, for me, is the important thing about Industrie 4.0. So one of the things that slightly concerns me is that we do tend to think of Industrie 4.0 just in terms of what actually is going to happen in the factory. But actually, thinking about the Kagermann definition and the way that we redefine the way we do business, I think it's really, really important to think about the business model and supply chain implications. Historically, we have tended to look at cost as the main driver of manufacturing. Whereas, in this new world, we're really going to look at the consumer.
Skip to 1 minute and 28 seconds And I think we're in the era of consumption driven supply chains where we won't just stop at actually getting a product physically to a customer. But we'll actually try to make sure that they use the product in the way that we thought they would, and actually see them through that consumption process. The second major change is the way that we actually look at the cost base. Historically, we've tended to look at manufacturing just in terms of manufacturing costs. Actually we are shifting to a viewpoint now where we actually look at the total landed cost, or total supply chain cost. Which looks not just at the manufacturing element but all the logistics, tax and excise, the real bundle of costs.
Skip to 2 minutes and 4 seconds The third way it changes is we have had an approach to manufacturing that's been dominated by a sort of economies of scale thinking. And we're going to shift away from that. One of the essence of Industrie 4.0, or the thinking, is to actually be able to make things in a batch size of one. And I think that's going to drive a totally different way of thinking. And actually when consumers are then making decisions about purchasing a product, they're not just going to look at the cost, but they're going to be much, much more aware of both the social and environmental impact of buying that product as well.
Skip to 2 minutes and 42 seconds So there's huge, huge supply chain implications, which mean that we won't just perhaps operate, we've seen this shift towards globalisation and we'll see a shift, not necessarily totally away from globalisation, we'll still have some global forms of production. But we'll think much more carefully about what do we produce globally? What do we produce regionally? And where do we actually get some advantage from actually manufacturing things much more locally? And this will mean that we actually need to model our global supply chains in a much more dynamic way. One of the issues with Industrie 4.0 is that people are taking this manufacturing-centric view.
Skip to 3 minutes and 20 seconds I think if we want to take it forward, there's three sorts of principles we've got to think of. The first is that we're thinking about consumption driven supply chains. So that we really need to think about how are the different business models that we can create either evolutionary or revolutionary that essentially enable us to market mediate and balance demand and supply. So the second is that actually then, if you're taking a consumption driven approach, it affects your business model. So you need to think business model. And the third is use technology as an enabler to achieving that goal as opposed to the starting point.
Supply chain implications of Industrie 4.0
The ICT enabled convergence of technological and business processes will herald the new age of (German) manufacturing.
These were the wise words of Prof. Dr. Henning Kagermann, whom I was fortunate to see present on Industrie 4.0 to the Royal Academy of Engineers in February 2014. They were not documented in his presentation but have continued to motivate my work. Why they resonate with me so strongly is that they look beyond the bounds of a factory, or a technology to provide guidance on how we should look to develop new innovative ways to do business. He is encouraging us to think about new business models and supply chain implications. In essence, as the video you have just watched explains that this leads to the emergence of more consumption driven supply chain. The focus shifts from cost to customer, and ensuring products and services are used in the right way. A more customer centric viewpoint leads to a different perspective on how we view costs. It leads to the adoption of a total landed cost, or total supply chain perspective rather than a myopic view of manufacturing costs, or worse still labour costs. It also sees a shift from economies of scale, to economies of scope, as we seek to produce a batch size of 1, in a socially and environmentally responsible way, at a price comparable to mass production.
It is therefore imperative that we think of the opportunities of Industrie 4.0 from a business model perspective, whilst recognising the important role that technology plays as an enabler. These themes are discussed in more detail in the full presentation made to WMG's Supply Chains in Practice event: Supply chain implications of industrie 4.0 (17:59).

Receta Koeksisters
Koeksisters are basically a South African syrup-coated twisted doughnut (sounds good already!) They originally come from the Cape Malay people in South Africa where their koeksister recipe has a texture a little like cake, is spicy and is often coated in dried coconut. The Afrikaners have a slightly different koeksuster recipe that is more crispy and sweeter with more syrup on them.
The word Koeksister actually comes from the Dutch word for small cake – koekje. Nowdays they are usually eaten as a snack, often at a rugby match or possibly at a braai. Koeksisters are really easy to make and the recipe for the crispy, syrupy version of koeksisters is below.
- For the Koeksister Batter:
- 1 egg beaten
- 2 cups flour
- 6 tablespoons of milk
- 6 tablespoons of butter (margarine can also work)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- The koeksister syrup:
- 4 cups sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon of tartaric acid
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence or
- 1 teaspoon of grated orange rind or
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon or
- 1/3 teaspoon of ground ginger
- To make Koeksisters, It is best to make the syrup first and and then leave it in the fridge overnight.
- Make the Koeksister Syrip
- Very easy, just add the dry ingredients to the water and bring the mixture to the boil. Allow it to simmer for about 10 minutes or until it starts to turn syrupy. Set it aside allow to cool and then place in the fridge overnight.
- Make the Koeksister Batter
- First sift the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl (flour, baking powder and salt). Then cut or rub the margarine or butter into them, similar to making pastry.
- Add the milk to the beaten egg and then add this to your flour mixture and again like pastry it is important to handle as little as possible. Then place this koeksister dough in the fridge for at least an hour.
- Roll the cold dough to a thickness of about ¼ of an inch and cut into strips that are approximately 3 and a half inches long and about 1 inch wide. Then cut each of your strips into three lengthways, leaving one side uncut at the end, and plait the pieces, pressing the cut ends firmly together at the end. (hope this bit makes sense, but basically just imagine you are plaiting hair and you will get the idea.)
- Fry Koeksister dough
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan and remove half of the syrup from the fridge and deep-fry the koeksisters in the oil until they turn golden brown. Drain them on absorbent paper.
- Then dip the koeksisters into the cold syrup, for a few seconds it is important to do this whilst they are still hot to get the right texture as this will seal the syrup outside and leave the inside of the koeksister dry in contrast.
- As you follow this process with more koeksisters, the syrup will gradually become warmer, so when about half way through the koeksisters use the second batch of syrup that you have in the fridge.

Instagram Marketing Tips to Optimize Your SEO Effect
Since Instagram's acquisition by Facebook in 2012, the platform has grown aggressively with its introduction of advertising. As marketers, this provides businesses a great opportunity to optimize and utilize their customer's social experience and gain visibility. However, before an establishment decides to take the plunge into advertising, marketing and inviting customers over to their Instagram profile, it is imperative that they ensure an attractive account.
Below are a few tips that brands can use in order to create a clean and relevant Instagram account and ensure that their profile captures the true essence of the purpose behind their online presence:
- Ensure the bio accurately represents the brand – A bio is a brand's or an individual's introduction. When a potential or an existing client is discovering your brand, you want to ensure that you not only put your best, but also your most honest foot forward. To confirm that you do so, create a bio, which is relevant to your brand's vision and goals.
- Choose your profile image carefully – The profile image is the first thing that a user sees on Instagram, even before reading your bio. Choose it carefully. If you have registered brand logo, upload it. But, ensure that it is a good resolution image. Otherwise, upload an image that resonates with your brand.
Check out the Previous Blogging Tips :- TOP 10 DELHI FASHION BLOGGERS
- Avoid using Hashtags in your bio – Using hashtag in a bio doesn't make much sense since, they aren't clickable. However, if you want your Instagram followers to use your hashtags in their photos, you can mention the particular hashtag in your bio and a message, which indicates that you would like your friends and followers to use the mentioned hashtag.
- Alternate the usage of links – Users constantly change links on their Instagram? This is because it helps brands in directing their followers to various products, landing pages, etc. it also helps them to actively promote the particular segment of their business they want to highlight at a given point in time.
- Don't use "Official" with your username (or anywhere on your profile) – Instagram offers its users the "verified" badge, which guarantees your brand page's 'official' status. This lets followers know about your official status. Using 'Official' against your brand name or anywhere else in the profile only makes the profile look naïve and weird.
- Use your 'Location' as a plus point – When you publish a post, it asks you to select the location for your image or video. You have the leverage of customizing the location to your advantage. If you don't really care about where the photos and videos were taken, use the "location" space as a 'call-to-action'. For example, instead of adding the name of the city where your business is located, you can add "Join us on – (Your Facebook Page name)".
- Don't take the power of images lightly – You must never forget that Instagram, at the end of the day, is one of the best photography app there is. It lets users make their normal clicks look like high-quality professional images. To highlight your brand's products and services, ensure that the images and video that you upload are superior quality and relevant to your brand.

Take A "DeploymentTest Drive"
By: Kaylie Gyarmathy on July 15, 2014
According to the Cisco Global Cloud Index, global cloud traffic is expected to grow 4.5 fold (35% combined annual growth rate) by 2017. The report also noted that 51% of business workloads will be processed in the cloud in 2014. With this type of expected growth, you need to pick a data center that is ready for your cloud-based application.Here are 4 things your data center needs to be ready for your cloud-based application:
Does your application need to integrate with other business cloud providers? In order for this to happen, you will need multi-cloud support with an architecture that is easily extensible and a data center with low latency to meet your application's requirements.
Data centers need to support public, private, and hybrid cloud environments, and different security platforms and architectures can increase the complexity. Providing multiple types of cloud environments can change depending upon the type of customer that is using your cloud-based application. Having the right data center that supports multiple types of clouds will give you more flexibility for the future.
"Gartner further suggests that a hybrid environment will entail tight integration among all environments at the data, process, management, and security layers. Eventually, a hybrid environment will likely evolve into a single cloud consisting of several cloud platforms that enterprises will selectively use as business requirements dictate", according to an HP whitepaper.
When you first move your application to a new data center, it may take some time for it to grow into a big success. For this reason, it makes sense to pick a data center that not only meets your needs of today, but can also scale to handle the resources your cloud application will need for the future. Having the ability to scale out to additional cabinets and handle the special cooling and power needs of high-density equipment is imperative.
Not all data centers are created equal. Some are carrier specific while others are carrier neutral. Carrier neutral facilities allow any carrier to provide services. This allows for better reliability, redundancy, flexibility, and lower cost of connectivity.
According to Philip Carden at LightReading.com, "What really matters are three things: server response time; network queuing (radio or IP); and the speed-of-light in fiber, which is negligible across town, about 60ms round-trip across the Atlantic (London-New York), and 120ms round-trip across the Pacific (Sydney to San Jose)."
Depending on your type of application, you may need to expand into additional geographical regions to reduce the amount of latency on your application at it grows. "So server location will become increasingly important for a sub-set of applications, while for the majority of cloud applications, the location of data centers is already very flexible, and will become much more so over time, as protocols improve", says Mr. Carden.
Several things are needed to make sure a data center is ready for your cloud-based application. These can include availability, multi-cloud support, resiliency, scalability, and for it to be carrier neutral. As more applications are moved to the cloud, data centers will be required to adapt to meet their customer's needs. Why not pick the right data center today?

Youth for Survival's Pledge for Parity
Wednesday 9 March, 2016 - 20:05
International Women's Day is celebrated annually on 8 March and in South Africa we also celebrate Women's Day on 9 August every year. South Africa comes in at eighth place on a world classification table of women in national parliament. These are all developments that deserve to be applauded as the nation is taking strides towards the ultimate goal of achieving women's rights. However, in the same instance it is never enough until we reach the peak of equality in all spheres, when women's dignity and rights can be fairly observed in our nation.

Last week, I was asked if I knew of entrepreneurs in town that had already raised some money and were having difficultly raising a second round of financing. The idea was to try and focus on this subset of entrepreneurs since they had already been vetted by investors and should have something to show. My response: I don't have anyone to recommend at this time. After thinking about it more, this is a good way to assess the progress funded entrepreneurs are making locally, specifically ones that are trying to raise more money. One idea was to work on introducing these entrepreneurs to local businesses that might have a need for their product or service with the hope of generating cash from customers, which is often the best form of funding.
Entrepreneurs need help in a number of areas. Here are a few ideas:
- More entrepreneur bootcamp programs
- Additional education around the four stages of a startup
- Pitch and public speaking practice
- Training on the importance of customer acquisition
- Managing the rhythm, data, and priorities in a business
Entrepreneurs always need help with something. More communication and collaboration in the community around these areas will make for a stronger and more vibrant ecosystem.
What else? What are some other areas entrepreneurs need help?

You worked hard to earn your professional license. Whether you are a physician, real estate professional, cosmetologist or engineer, you care about maintaining your professional licensure. That is why it is so distressing for our Ohio clients to learn that someone may have been compromising the quality and significance of their license. Unfortunately, some believe that posing as a licensed professional can benefit them – those people should be called to task. For example, a Boston-area man is now facing criminal charges because he posed as a real estate agent and took advantage of his clients.
The man, age 42, is accused of pretending to hold a broker's license and preying on people who were facing foreclosure. The man offered to help the victims by selling their homes on a short sale, but he never made good on his promise. Instead, the defendant is accused of keeping deposits that he had been paid by the desperate homeowners. He had told the homeowners that he would hold the funds in escrow pending the purchase of their houses, but he used the money for personal purchases. In all, the man is accused of stealing about $50,000 from area residents.
Your professional licensure means something for both you and your clients. Defendants like this unscrupulous man are the very reason that licensure is required in the first place for your profession. Make sure that you are not operating outside of the law like this defendant by properly following license transfer regulations and sticking to the rules when you apply for license protections. Taking care of your professional license and acting ethically means that you are less likely to end up facing criminal charges like the defendant described here.

Wedding Colors: Metallics
Once considered something of a faux pas, mixing and matching brushed coppers, sparkling silvers and gleaming gold accents is a chic, fresh approach to a sumptuous color scheme. Solomon Event Planning owner Stephanie Solomon, who is known for her elegant, refined celebrations, adds depth by varying subtle touches (such as a brass clasp on a sweet clutch) with bold accents (a textured gold cake) for a rich, autumnal palette that exudes elegance. "Adding an edited selection of metallics can be a bit industrial in concept, but comes across warm and glowing when you introduce soft accents like a textured copper cake," she says. "Metallics are timeless and are ideal for achieving an elegant look that adds a piquant aspect to any wedding."
(above) Handmade in Italy, this Rada brass-clad clutch from Anthropologie's BHLDN line combines soft gray lambskin, antiqued brass and a peach pearl flower brooch for a timeless accouterment. $320.
(above) Fremont-based invitation designer Rachel Brandzel adhered a modern graphic letterpress invitation to heavyweight copper for a stunning start to any fete. These hardy, industrial-meets-feminine beauties come in a metal tin and develop a pretty patina over time. $12–$15/100.
(above) These Jimmy Choo "India" sandals from Nordstrom have thin, sparkling champagne straps and leather-wrapped 3½-inch heels for a luminous lift. $465.
(above) This antiqued, custom-made taupe belt from downtown's Luly Yang Couture has hand-sewn embroidery and pearlescent opal beads that lend a vintage feel for your something old. $585.
(above) Inspired by symbolist painter Gustav Klimt, this highly textured coconut milk cake from Kaysie Lackey at The People's Cake in Lower Queen Anne has golden and pastel pink fondant icing molded to look like bold brushstrokes. The passion fruit curd and mousse filling is soft on the palate and oh so delicious. Serves 35, $275.
(above) Handmade by third-generation chocolatiers David and Lori Marcoe of Ballard-based Lulu Marcoux, these rich chocolate truffles sparkle with crystal sugar and fleur-de-lis embossing. Arranged in a dainty glass bowl with a gold heart emblem, this posh favor is one guests will adore. Prices vary.
