sometimes, you need help
Sometimes, we get in over our heads. It's a natural, human thing to go through. I would know because I was once an overzealous trader in my teens. Sometimes we think we can just learn things on our own and not seek help when we keep making disastrous mistakes one after another.
I'm a student of life. I'm a student of things I want to learn more of and this includes trading. Even after 15 years of trading, I still do not know everything and I don't presume to ever do so. I know I have a whole lifetime of learning and adapting to the ever changing trading game. This is why I believe firmly in our mentorship program. It's our way of giving back to the young and new traders out there the knowledge we've amassed all these years. It's a way to avoid making the same mistakes.
However, there's a stigma for trader education. I don't know where this stigma originated from but it should be removed. Just like you need to take flying lessons to be a pilot, you need to learn how to trade to be a proper trader. I did not get to where I am without my mentors in my younger, formative years.
Most people dismiss trader education as a cost or something useless. I always laugh at this because most are willing to lose thousands of dollars making bad trades but not spend a few thousand dollars to really get a proper education and mentor.
I leave you with the wise words of my mentor: you can never put a price on knowledge especially when you know you come out a better, wiser person.
God speed!
** 1 Spot Left for our December mentorship Program. Inquire Inside **
You're there, making hundreds, if not, thousands of dollars in profits and you're feeling like the luckiest man in the world. An hour later, you're back at it again trying to make more - only to see your profits get eaten away by losses. Then the unthinkable happens, you lose your profits of the day on another trade that you thought could've made you more money. What just happened? You just got PWNED!
The situation above is way too common in the trading world. It's called overtrading. What is that? It's when you didn't quit while you're ahead. Familiar with that saying, "quit while you're ahead?" That's what happens when you don't get out at the peak. What makes people not get out while they're ahead, you ask? GREED.
Overtrading is one the leading causes of trader implosions. If you go into a trade not knowing where to take profits - you're already violating the most important rule of all: No exit, no trade. Knowing how much you want to make on each trade is very crucial because it keeps your trade simple and mechanical - free of emotions.
Take the trade above for example. The entry was clear and my target as the 672 area however, we never get what we want on most days so I planned to get out should things change. In every trade I make, I always know where my exit levels are whether they make or lose me money. The problem with most traders is that they hope each trade is the 10 bagger which in reality, it never always is. You'll never get a KBIO or a VRX every time.
It's important to know how much you want to make. Say you agree to make $1,000 a day - that's $20,000 a month assuming no losses and a straight 20-day trading month. So if you've made $2200 on one day, wouldn't that already tell you you've met your goal and you should stop? This is where most people fail badly. Most people will go back and trade some more with the hope of making more. This is GREED. You should always know when you've met your target and move on. Tomorrow's always a new day.
You have ALL the control in the world when it comes to making or losing money in the world of trading. How much you make is of course up to you. How much you let the market take from you is also up to you. Most people who tell you the market is cheating them are not only lying to you but lying to themselves as well. No one else is clicking on the BUY or SELL button but you. Think about that really hard for just a second the next time you blame the markets for being manipulated. Perhaps when you are on a losing streak, you only need to look in the mirror and blame the person staring back at you.
Good luck on what really will be hell week for everyone!
kbio trade
There are those of you who would call me late in this KBIO epic short squeeze and that's okay. I'm not some guy risking his farm to make millions. I've already gotten my millions. I'm just a simple guy making some money from whatever moves in the market.
Friday presented a great opportunity to finally jump in on this stock because of what Shkreli did - not leding out his shares anymore. That sparked an epic short squeeze that started in the pre-market session (shaded area). The lack of volume follow-through during the day could be attributed to people out due to Black Friday. Monday will be more epic.
In any case, you only need to go to my Twitter Page to see how much I made. It's by no means as epic as the other twitter twats making $10K or $30K on this but for a trade that I barely did nothing on and the risk was super low, I can't complain.
No doubt I will be watching KBIO in the coming days and weeks. Let's however not forget that this product they're creating - Lenzilumab - it's still in the development stage. So this is going to be another useless biotech company until it actually creates something. You can start your bio research here.
Please remember, unlike Turing where they actually have a drug being sold, KaloBios has NOTHING except for a lot of HOPE. Last time I checked, hope is not profitable. But for those of you who are only in for the short squeeze and the massive pump and dump - indulge and enjoy!

CHICAGO – Senator Martin A. Sandoval (D-Chicago) has called for an audit of the Chicago Public School system and a more forceful response to sexual misconduct allegations after the district's CEO skipped a meeting addressing the matter this week.
The meeting was called in response to a Chicago Tribune investigation which found 72 Chicago Public Schools employees were accused of misconduct over a 10-year period and not properly reported to authorities. Several went on to commit abuses at Chicago Public Schools and many were hired again elsewhere even after being investigated.
"When the second largest school district in the nation fails at protecting its students, it falls on the shoulders of the CEO," Sandoval said. "The fact that Janice Jackson skipped this meeting is proof that the district still doesn't understand the depths of this failure."
CPS was represented by a safety administrator, deputy general counsel and a personnel official at the meeting. Those representatives discussed a vague plan for moving forward and pledged to work with the Children's Advocacy Center. Legislation has also been filed in the Senate to address the shortcomings of current law.
"It's fine to be solution-focused and to put proper protocols in place going forward. It's a conversation we must have," Sandoval said. "But we are discussing this at the state level because of a failure of Chicago Public Schools, and the CEO didn't even have the decency to attend the meeting."
Sandoval said the absence of top officials was even more appalling in light of the testimony of two brave victims at the hearing.
"I was pulled from class to sit alone in a room with an old man who asked not how I felt or what they could do to make me feel safe in my school again, but what I was wearing when I had been assaulted," said survivor Morgan Aranda, now 22. "Do you know what it's like to be made to feel like a criminal when you are in fact the victim?"
Testimony showed victims were interrogated without parents present and they were kept in the dark about the status of their investigations. The Chicago Police Department was not notified by CPS administrators in either case.
"Students were wronged by the people that were supposed to protect them, and they were never given justice," Sandoval said. "That continued yesterday when the top-ranking authorities in the city deemed this hearing unimportant enough for them to skip."
Sandoval said he is encouraged that his Senate colleagues plan to host continued hearings to discuss the matter.
"We need to pinpoint these failures, give victims their right to redress and rebuild the integrity of the Chicago Public Schools system," Sandoval said. "Hopefully Janice Jackson will find the time to attend."

Although I was determined to only choose $18 menus for Dine Out Vancouver 2013, I still ended up accepting an invitation to Bistro Sakana. They'd had impressive and tasty offerings previously, and I figured this year wouldn't be any different. I was just there this past October for the Taste of Yaletown, in fact.
If you went to the Taste of Yaletown, last year, more than half the Signature Sample Platter will be familiar (how many signature dishes can a restaurant have, after all). The ones that stood the test of time are clearly among their tastiest offerings, and still consistently delicious when prepared by the chefs. Moreover, the samples on the Dine Out Vancouver menu continue their tradition of a wide variety of tastes and textures, making Bistro Sakana still one of the best choices for sheer food experience.
That said, because so many items are the same as before, if you still clearly remember the Taste of Yaletown offerings and want to try something different, you might consider skipping the Dine Out prix fixe menu and just getting the few items that are different by ordering a la carte.
Bistro Sakana Dine Out Vancouver 2013 Menu
$38.00 per person (beverages, tax, and gratuity are extra)
- Wild Sockeye Salmon Miso Chowder - a rich creamy salmon & miso chowder
A Signature Sample Platter including all of the following: (picture)
- Wild Sockeye Jalapeño Aburi "Hakozushi" (2 pieces) - sockeye salmon layered with rice, box pressed, flame torched, and topped with jalapeño slices
- Toro Red Chili Aburi "Hakozushi" (2 pieces) - albacore toro marinated in Junmai sake & miso, layered with rice, box pressed, flame torched, and topped with red chili and key lime slivers
- Teppan Roll (3 pieces) - fresh tomato, Hotate scallop sashimi, fresh bocconcini mozzarella & home-made shiso-basil pesto, rolled up with rice, lightly sauteed and plated with a rim of aged balsamic reduction and unfiltered extra virgin olive oil
- Tuna & Avocado Crepe: Diced albacore tuna sashimi blended with fresh avocado & our spicy wasabi mayo sauce, wrapped in a delicate freshly made savory crepe, and drizzled with our spicy teriyaki sauce
- Triple "A" beef Tenderloin Tataki: Slices of tender beef tenderloin, seared on the edges and served with thin slices of crisp fuji apple, baby arugula, garlic chips, freshly shaved parmesan, and a unique yuzu kosho vinaigrette
- Oka San's Rich Chocolate Brownies - rich dark chocolate brownies served warm with dark chocolate sauce & vanilla bean gelato
The hakozushi and teppan roll I'd had before, and still haven't tired of them. Nice light spicy buzz on the sushi; and the light searing on the teppan roll (without making the rice go all super-chewy) gives it an interesting flavour in addition to the ingredients. The soup-like chowder and the brownies were also on the Taste of Yaletown menu last year, and still solid choices for a delicious meal. Overall, for the best item on the platter, I'd still have to go with the Teppan Roll.
Tuna & Avocado Crepe
Tuna & Avocado Crepe
- This was basically too soft to pick up with your chopsticks, so I recommend using the knife and fork provided to cut it into more manageable chunks. There's a bit of spicy sauce on the side. Not too spicy, unless you can't handle anything more than mild. Just watch out for it if you want to go easy on the heat.
- Overall it was an interesting taste and had a creamy texture on the inside. Definitely worth a try no matter what.
- The recommendation is to eat the beef with a little bit of everything included. It's a bit tricky to do that with chopsticks, so you might want to try the fork here, and maybe chopstick the various bits on to assemble a full bite. Maybe because I didn't quite get enough of everything into every bite, this had a variety of tastes but was strangely uninteresting to me. If you do try it, maybe work more carefully at assembling each portion to get a little of everything each time.
- I seem to remember this being much warmer last time I had it, and it was so much better for it. It's probably the case that the mass-preparation for Dine Out Vancouver left this detail overlooked. That, or our extra orders of stuff threw off their timing.
- When it's warmer, however, you have the drawback of the ice cream melting into yuck much more quickly, so there's definitely a tradeoff there.
- Still composed of large cubes of their extremely delicious brownies. Available on the regular menu if you just want to go for the brownies.
- We also tried a curious crunchy filo prawn item. This was three large prawns covered in what looked like a dense coat of very fine/thin noodles. It came with a lightly sweet dipping sauce and a small side of crunchy red beet (?) cubes.
- Everyone else seemed to like this very much, but for some reason I thought prawns were prawns. And at $12 for 3 prawns, this seemed a bit steep, though I'm sure there was quite a bit of work involved in assembling it, since it's more than just dipping the prawns in batter to make the ubiquitous ebi mayo.
Yuzu Black Sesame Encrusted Tuna Tataki (not part of the Dine Out Vancouver menu; picture)
- I remembered this interesting item from two years ago, when a couple of slices were on the Taste of Yaletown platter. Our table had a regular order of this, which was about six (?) slices, topped with a mess of interesting fried and crunchy extremely fine wires of something red that tasted like yam fries. Definitely get some of that on each bite.
- Overall I found this to be best shared. Just a couple of slices are all you need. More and you might get a bit bored with it -- which is probably the same that could be said of whole rolls of sushi. It's really best if you share it and try a few types.

a. Read your policy carefully. This outline of coverage provides a very brief description of the important features of your policy. This is not the insurance contract and only the actual policy provisions will control. The policy itself sets forth in detail the rights and obligations of both you and your insurance company. It is, therefore, important that you READ YOUR POLICY CAREFULLY.
b. Limited benefit disability and unemployment coverage. Policies of this category are designed to provide, to persons insured, limited or supplemental coverage.
c. The policy pays you a one-time cash benefit of $1,500 to $9,000 (depending on the amount you chose in your application) for:
- Job loss due to layoff, job elimination, business closing or other employer-initiated separation not specifically excluded.
- Illness or injury that prevents you from working at your job for at least 30 days.
d. What Job Losses and Disabilities are NOT covered by the policy?
There is no coverage for:
- Disability or job loss that occurs in the first 180 days of coverage.
- Job loss you knew about before you applied for coverage or if you quit, retire or are fired.
- Disability that occurs in the first 6 months of coverage if caused by a condition you were treated for within the 6 months before you bought the coverage.
- Normal or routine downtime for seasonal or other jobs (like construction).
- Job loss or disability due to acts of war, or nuclear or natural disasters.
You can get only one job loss claim and one disability claim paid each policy year.
There is also a lifetime benefit maximum of $24,000. This amount is the most you can get under the policy during your life. If you own more than one of these policies, this is the most you can get from all those policies combined.
e. Is the policy renewable? When can it end? Can the terms or cost of the policy change?
Your policy is issued for a one-year term. It will automatically renew each year unless you or we choose not to renew it.
You may choose to end your policy at any time.
We may choose to end the policy ONLY on your policy anniversary date.
The policy will end if the required premium is not paid or when the lifetime benefit maximum has been paid to you.
We can change the policy terms or raise the premium only on the policy anniversary date and only if we give you 60 days' advance notice.

Engagement is more important than price
Conventional supply/demand wisdom tells us that price will predict sales. What makes a bigger difference? Engagement with your audience. The geniuses behind Indie Game: The Movie spent a full year communicating directly with fans through Twitter, Facebook, and email before they even launched pre-orders. This meant their audience was super excited and knew exactly what to expect from the film — so they were more likely to buy. Engagement is not something you can fake, so get started early and engage often!

The Mighty Microbe
The Diet Myth: The Real Science Behind What We Eat
By Tim Spector
Weidenfeld & Nicolson 318pp £14.99 order from our bookshop
It's not often a book changes my life in a mere three chapters, but a quarter of the way through The Diet Myth I went out to buy some natural yoghurt for breakfast. A hundred pages or so later, on learning of the benefits of intermittent fasting, I decided to have it for lunch instead.
Given my usual reluctance to jump on any passing nutritional bandwagon, I reckon this makes Tim Spector's work a rather compelling read – the more so since, unlike many of the current crop of shiny-haired and dewy-skinned 'nutrition experts', he is a professor of genetic epidemiology at King's College London and has over seven hundred academic papers to his name. Even more reassuringly

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' most recent data, there are currently 10.2 million unemployed persons in the U.S. That not only equates to a 6.6 percent unemployment rate, but for job seekers, tough competition when it comes to landing a job.
And isn't the job search already tough enough? Sifting through job boards, company career pages and social network profiles just to find available (and suitable) positions. And then taking skills test, assessment tests, and perfecting resumes and cover letters just to apply for the openings. Add the fact that many job seekers never hear back from employers after applying for a position and it's pretty clear to see how the job hunt can easily becoming discouraging.
What are job seekers to do?
Well, according to Kelly Walsh, creator and owner of 1 Smart Life, LLC, a great way to boost your job search efforts (and successes) is to get a life coach.
For 18 years, Walsh has successfully coached individuals and business leaders to reach their highest potential. And she and her team at 1 Smart Life offer personal coaching for a range of areas from careers and relationships to spirituality and money.
Recruiter.com had the opportunity to gain insights and advice from this life coach expert. Read on to discover what she had to say about being successful with today's job search and the benefits of investing in a life coach.
1. How can a life coach help you with your job search?
A coach can help you clarify what you want to be, do, and have. Once we crystallize our desires, a coach will help you plan multiple pathways for achieving those goals.
2. Can a coach help you get 'unstuck' and what are the steps one would take in finding the right coach?
Coaches live to help people get 'unstuck'! Finding the right coach can be a matter of asking friends, researching local resources on the internet, or doing a search on the ICF (International Coach Federation) website. Finding a coach with the right chemistry, background, and experience you need is critical; don't rush it.
3. Is it a costly venture to invest in a coach?
Prices vary with the coach, and are often based on their experience and expertise with the subject area. Some charge hourly rates while others charge a retainer fee by the month. It is reasonable to invest at least $1000 if you really want to accomplish big change. Most people who have experienced coaching will tell you that they have received tremendous value from their relationship with their coach.
4. The job forecast came out for January with economists expecting the Labor Department to report the economy added 181,000 jobs. From your experience, are there any tricks to standing out when applying?
Yes, absolutely! If you are looking to be hired by a large company, it is sure to use an applicant tracking system (ATS), so beware of the filters and tailor your keywords and phrases to each opportunity.
A stylized infographic resume can be the right choice for a small, entrepreneurial firm or a creative position, just make sure your resume has substance as well. Above all, get help if you need it. It can be very hard to "brag" about yourself and a coach can often help you pinpoint your key strengths better than you can on your own.
5. Can you help a job candidate negotiate salary?
This is a very important coaching point to address prior to the initial interview. Determining your worth when you are dying for an offer does not result in negotiation from a position of power. While a coach typically does not tell you what to accept or reject, we may help you determine what you want or need and suggest negotiation points you may want to utilize.
6. What is the difference between a life coach and an executive coach or is there one?
Life coaches work with people in all areas of their lives such as relationships, transitions, and any area where someone wants to thrive rather than just survive. An executive coach is typically more business focused and has education and/or work experience in business matters. Executive coaches often work with top leaders and middle managers to help them improve leadership capabilities and overcome challenges in their work arenas. Since our work and the rest of our lives are linked, many coaches overlap into both areas.
7. What are some quick tips you have to update your resume?
- Create a powerful "impact statement" near the top to brand yourself.
- Use power verbs when describing your work experience (try "developed" instead of "responsible for").
- Clean it up: don't try to tell your life story, just the highlights.
- Include results to show that your work had impact (did it save money, improve customer satisfaction?).
8. Is now a good time to start a job search and if not, why not?
It's always beneficial to be prepared for a job search. The economy is picking up, so that's good news for the job market. With social networking, job boards and referral networks so active, job opportunities can appear at any time and you want to be ready. We also live in a world where work can change quickly and you want to know what's happening in your field. Even if you are not in an active search, it's a good idea to be prepared for when opportunity knocks!
9. Final thoughts?

Yeppers, kale and quinoa come together for the win in my latest kitchen creation, packed with essentials like protein, whole grains, calcium and Vitamins A & C.
Tons of nutrients, exotic Mediterranean flavors, and a simple cooking process make this recipe an instant hit. So, you know, go ahead and sneak it into your "Speedy Weeknight Dinner" rotation (shhhh…the kids won't even know they're eating kale!). You're welcome.
Quick note for any vegans or vegetarians: this recipe includes scallops, which you'll obviously need to omit when recreating in your own kitchen.
Kale & Quinoa Superfood Salad — yields 4 servings
3 cups Kale (chopped)
1 cup Scallops
1 cup Quinoa
1/4 cup Feta (crumbled)*
1/4 cup Dates (chopped)
1 clove Garlic (diced)
1 tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tsp. Coriander (ground)
Sea Salt (to taste)
*Looking for a dairy-free feta substitute? I'd recommend trying out this vegan recipe from The Happy Herbivore!
1. Fill a large pot with Quinoa and 2 cups Water, then pre-heat on a high stovetop setting and bring to a boil.
2. Reduce the heat to low, then cover the pot and let simmer for approx. 15 minutes or until the moisture has mostly been absorbed.
3. While the Quinoa is cooking, prep the Kale, Dates, Garlic and Feta (or dairy-free substitute), then set aside temporarily.
4. Coat a small saucepan with Cooking Spray and pre-heat on a medium stovetop setting, then add the Scallops.
5. Saute the Scallops for approx. 2-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they have cooked thoroughly.
6. Remove the Quinoa from heat and stir in the Coriander, Garlic and Olive Oil, then combine this Quinoa mixture with the Scallops.
7. Arrange the Kale on a serving plate, then spoon the Quinoa and Scallops mixture over the Kale.
8. Sprinkle the Dates and Feta (or dairy-free substitute) on top, then add the desired amount of Sea Salt.
9. Allow this Salad to cool slightly (approx. 1-2 minutes) before serving.

KCP has been treating me, my husband and our two daughters, ages 18 and 23, for 6+ years. Even though each of us have been treated for different problems ranging from lower back, shoulder, ribs and neck problems, we have all been very pleased with the lasting relief we have received from their treatments. If you are looking for a physical therapy group that will provide effective and professional care in a warm and caring environment, we highly recommend KCP.
Betsy B.
"We are a family that love sports and are very physically active! So seven years ago , when our son, a distance runner, suffered a foot injury at a critical point in his cross country season, we were thankful to be referred to KCP Physical Therapy! The quick assessment and treatment of the injury enabled him to continue running through his high school and college years.
Since then, every one of us has come to KCP to see Joy and Joyce for help when we experience issues that prevent us from participating in the sports that we love. Even my parents, who live five hours away, come to Charlotte to see Joy and Joyce . I tell anyone who talks to me about something that causes them pain about how much KCP has made a difference in our lives. I say, "Just call KCP!""

Vlašská 5, Praha 1
History of the building.
It's a complex historically named as "The house of the Three Red Hearts", situated in the heart of "Mala Strana"; it consists of four buildings divided in 13 elegant flats with terraces, gardens, courtyards with fountains and green. The complex has been realized over the centuries, throughout the Roman, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical and Modern periods. A rigorous and homogenous high level restoration made the house historically identical to its origin, comfortable and charming at once. Exceptionality of this property is highlighted by its attractive location: in "Mala Strana", but in an independent quiet and unique site, between Vlasska street and the green park of the Petrin Hill, near to several important Embassies, the St. Nicholas Cathedral, the Charles Bridge and the Prague Castle.
It's a luxury and charming historical house, restored between 2000 and 2003: 3 storeys apartments and, upper, 2 storeys, including beautiful double level attics, with a magic view on the Prague Castle and the Petrin Hill. In the surrounding you can find the public parking, bus stops, the underground station, food shops, coffee-bar, pubs, restaurants, concert-halls, jazz bars, antiques shops, a tennis club around 800 m away and a golf club around 1500 m away.

'Life-changing moments' key to giving
AUSTRALIA'S largest study into why people give and set up charitable trusts has been released by the Australian Centre for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Studies at the Queensland University of Technology.
Lead researcher Wendy Scaife said "life-changing moments" were a key factor among the 40 people interviewed who had each set up philanthropic structures.
"We found decisions to set up foundations often came from people taking stock of what life and money was about, closing chapters in their lives such as moving on from business careers, or windfall events such as gaining an inheritance,'' Dr Scaife said.
"We found too that seasoned business folk or the middle-aged or older were asking themselves 'now what?
"'We've raised our children, they're independent, we've got a capacity to give - should we?'
"People also want their life experience to be of use to others so they channel not just money but energy and contacts into something that's important to both the community and to themselves, be that medical research, the arts, indigenous needs, education - their personal passion.''
Dr Scaife said there were a variety of structures to enable people to give and the one they chose depended upon how much money they were giving, the time they had available and how involved they wanted to be in making grants.

Check out the highlights: Daily Dime Live chat wrap
Box scores: Dallas 113, Bulls 87 | Jazz 115, Rockets 94 | Lakers 103, Thunder 97
Making the best of an unavoidably depressing evening.
That was the only goal when Professor Hollinger and I reached way back into our youth Tuesday night, turning to the greatest sports simulation game of our respective childhoods to help get us through what was supposed to be opening night on the NBA's 2011-12 calendar.
I've been stuck on Strat-O-Matic, as Hall of Fame broadcaster Jim Durham would undoubtedly describe it, since I was 9 years old. I could spend hours at that age crouched on the floor, shuffling through the magical charts and player cards that, when mixed with three rolling dice, could instantly make you feel like a Major League Baseball manager.
Hollinger, not surprisingly, was the same sort of the kid, which is why we quickly and eagerly agreed to share the same coping mechanism on what was going to be a sad, sad night. Using the modern-day computerized version of Strat-O-Matic, ESPN.com could at least stage facsimiles of the three games we were all denied from watching Tuesday: Bulls at Mavs, Rockets at Jazz and Thunder at Lakers.
Kids today naturally prefer high-tech video games when it's time to recreate big league pro sports on a monitor. This is the NBA 2K12 generation. But for the two fortysomething curators of ESPN.com's NBA Power Rankings, Strat-O was the only choice. On the day after Halloween, Strat-O would give us all the tools we'd need to masquerade as NBA coaches and lose ourselves for a couple hours in the company of a couple thousands friends in the Daily Dime Live chat room who, like us, just wanted to have a little game-conditions fun to distract us from the real deal we've all been deprived of. (Click and scroll here for the highlights.)
And I'd say it worked out OK given that A) I hadn't played any form of Strat-O-Matic since our Daily Titan baseball league in college in the late 1980s at Cal State Fullerton and B) DDLers couldn't actually see what was happening and had to rely totally on their reporter-coaches to keep them updated.
Dirk Nowitzki (31 points), Jason Kidd (25) and the Digital Mavs, with yours truly assigned to Rick Carlisle duty, coasted to a 113-87 rout of the computer-coached VirtuaBulls despite 22 points from Derrick Rose and 20 from Luol Deng. Strat-O-Matic can't simulate banner-raising or ring ceremonies, but rest assured that no one in Dallas will complain if the Mavs shoot the ball anything close to the way they did digitally -- 16-for-30 on 3-pointers in this computerized exercise -- when Mark Cuban finally does get to break out those rings.
In the second game, with Hollinger stepping into Scotty Brooks' shoes as coach of the Digital Thunder, Oklahoma City fell to a 103-97 loss to L.A. despite Kevin Durant's 36 points. The electronically coached Lakers didn't miss new real-life coach Mike Brown at all, thanks to 21 points from Kobe Bryant and 19 from reigning sixth man of the year Lamar Odom.
We likewise made sure to run a computer simulation from the other game on the original schedule, since the least you deserve from this Next Best Thing experiment is a complete set of box scores from the Opening Night That Wasn't. It won't make pleasant reading for new Rockets coach Kevin McHale -- and something tells me I'm eventually going to hear from a fuming Tom Thibodeau about what happened in the Chicago-at-Dallas sim -- but don't forget that the Rockets (actual or digital) haven't yet had a chance in free agency to try to sign a replacement for Yao Ming. Jazz 115, Rockets 94 is pertinent solely because it gives you one more make-believe box to dissect.
Best we could do at a time when no one in the NBA universe can tell you how long it's going to be before we see actual humanly generated box scores on this site.

Dr. Lindner got his master degree in nano-physics from University of Wurzburg of Germany in 2006. Then, he joined the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and pursued his Ph.D. in Molecular Biophysics at the University of Tennessee Knoxville in the United States between 2007 and 2012. In 2013 and 2014 he continued his work at Oak Ridge National Laboratory as a Postdoc on projects related to his Ph.D. work. During his time at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory he got intensively exposed to scientific research in the areas of molecular dynamics simulation and modeling, theoretical scattering calculations, high performance computing, parallel programming and big data modeling and analysis, including Markov Modeling of molecular systems.
His active interest is targeted towards making use of computing to advance the methodological toolset of scientific experimentation on molecules and to advance the field of molecular medicine. Recent research activities included the study of decentralized computing platforms with embedded economic principles as a means to close the incentive gap between targeted scientific computation and the creation of an open molecular knowledge base.

This article explains backup warnings.
- Datto SIRIS
- Datto ALTO
When a Datto appliance attempts a backup, it tries three times before it errors out:
- If the first backup attempt fails, it writes a warning to the backup log and tries again.
- If the second backup attempt is successful, the backup completes, but you will get a backup warning. If the second backup attempt fails, it tries a third time.
- If the third attempt is successful, you will get a backup warning that tells you that a previous attempt failed. If the third attempt fails, you will see a backup error, rather than a warning.
The purpose of the warnings is to let you know that there was a transient issue that prevented a backup attempt, but that the backup eventually succeeded. How you proceed depends on the type of warning and how many of them you get.
If you see frequent backup warnings, attempt to troubleshoot the problem as if you had received a backup error.

We have sure enjoyed a few (too many) sunny days this Summer. I think we've been playing out in the sun or in the water at least 4/7 days a week. It's what gets all the wiggles out and keeps us happy 🙂
My daughter is absolutely obsessed with everything you can accessorize with, including sunnies. Anything pink, sparkly, or sure to gain attention and she's sporting it! Meet these sunnies from Polaroid– she fell in love with the pink ones of course, but they double in amazingness as they also help protect her eyes from the sun.
Here are a few facts I learned from Eyecessorize (A non-profit organization that educates consumers on the fashion and lifestyle aspects of eyewear).
- 65% of children spend two or more hours per day on a digital device, putting a strain on their eyes
- About 14 million children (and teens) require prescription glasses
- Children receive about three times the annual amount of UV exposure from the sun than adults, yet only 29% of children wear sunglasses.
More info on eye care can be found on TheVisionCouncil.org
What's great about these particular sunglasses is they hit the stylish factor while also protecting your little ones eyes with UV protection (these particular ones are polarized).
I love that both fashion and functionality meet equally through these shades!

Telematics Enables Health And Safety Gains For Humac Civil Engineering
While construction sites continue to be high risk work environments, Trackunit is working with Humac Civil Engineering Ltd, to increase personnel safety for on-site plant and equipment use.
Humac is a fast-growing civil engineering and ground work company, founded in 2007 and operating nationally, it includes some of the UK's largest housebuilders and construction companies as clients. Its rapid growth has been supported by its commitment to a technology and process driven approach. Humac's contract with Trackunit has helped it to develop its highly secure and safety-first environment for employees and visitors to its sites.
Investment in efficiency fuels health and safety improvements
During the past few years the company has invested heavily in owned-plant, which now numbers around 150 machines including excavators, dumpers and rollers. Staff numbers have grown to 80 direct staff and up to 250 contractors, depending on the active projects. In terms of safety, Humac has a requirement for a plant fleet management system that would add compliance to Health and Safety codes, while creating efficiencies in its on-site machine stock across its sites. A key objective was to implement a system that would allow its human resources team oversight of user access on all machines on multiple sites.
Health and safety is of the highest priority and as the company has grown, managing access to plant by staff qualified to operate the machines has become increasingly complex. Humac management investigated various companies that offer vehicle tracking solutions, including evaluation during on-site trials. Trackunit was selected as the system that provided the most comprehensive solution and the only one that offered the right level of plant access control.
'Workers, operators and site visitors are all at risk if construction plant is not properly managed and controlled'
Frank Wilson, procurement director at Humac, takes up the story, "With an expanding stock of machines, our requirement was to implement safety features that would assist our operators and allow us to monitor the location and activity levels of our plant. Workers, operators and site visitors can all be at risk if construction plant is not properly managed and controlled. With Trackunit, we have developed a range of upgrades that add competencies to our health and safety processes ensuring we provide the highest levels of compliance."
Trackunit's solution was the only system that provided the range of capabilities that Humac required. All operators' qualifications, training plans and driver permissions are centrally held within HR and this data is accessed from laptops by site managers providing up to date details on all operators. Site managers are able to allocate operators to specific machines using individually programmed RFID cards and this information is recorded by the system.
During the system's roll out, each of the vehicles were fitted with a DualID system (combined keypad and RFID reader), which prevents the ignition from being turned on by unauthorized personnel. The operators use a Humac branded RFID card or secure PIN-code to allow access to start the machine.
It is a very simple system to use and our operators understand the benefits that the card system offers. If there is an accident or damage occurs to the machine, we can easily trace who was operating it at the time. It has increased our operators' awareness of health and safetyIan McArthur, plant supervisor
Humac has also provided other safety upgrades to their ride-on equipment, such as beacon lights linked to the use of the seatbelt to indicate whether a seatbelt is fastened during operation. A further enhancement is that the Trackunit system is connected to the seatbelts and records seatbelt use for all its ride-on equipment. These are additional safety features that Humac's customers are finding increasingly valuable when developing site proposals. These are additional safety features that Humac's customers are finding increasingly valuable when developing site proposals.
It Just Makes Sense
Embedded sensors link all the machines to Humac's Doncaster head office, feeding updates to the system. This rich data stream allows the head office team to analyse which machines are operating, where and when, providing accurate utilisation reports on a daily basis. Underutilised machines can be identified and the contracts manager can investigate and reassign machines to other sites to increase utilisation, if required. Since the introduction of the system, Humac's hired-in machine use has decreased noticeably, illustrating the benefit of the company's knowledge-based approach to machine utilisation.
The benefit of accurate business data is clearly illustrated by Humac's approach. Operating at the forefront of telematics, within the construction market, it is a step ahead using data not simply to gain operational advantage, but to develop procedures that increase health and safety awareness and compliance. Together this provides competitive advantage in an aggressive industry sector.
Moving forward, Humac and Trackunit are working to implement machine servicing procedures, which would provide another level of utilisation planning. This addition would ensure all plant is routinely maintained so that vehicles are operating at optimum levels and to safety standards.
Humac also believes that the Trackunit system has wider sales opportunities within the machine rental market. Frank Wilson commented, "Increasingly our customers want the same health and safety features that we have introduced with the Trackunit system across the site. A rental company that offers machines with these benefits would certainly have something extra to offer. For us, to rent machines that offer this level of compliance would fit seamlessly with our machine stock and ensure a consistent high level of Health and Safety compliance, security and utilisation tracking across the site.
Trackunit Delivered on Every PromiseAdrian McDonald, MD Humac
Adrian McDonald, managing director at Humac, concluded, "Trackunit delivered on every promise. This system has given us a level of control and increased visibility of our fleet that we did not know was possible. Trackunit's understanding of our industry is second to none and has really helped in the fine-tuning of the system and the upgrades we have developed together."

Aids Dementia Friend Might Be Committed To Mental Institution
Post by:
July 01, 2013, 05:01:18 pm
Hello everyone,
Our friend that has Aids Dementia and PML is so out of control that his wife (also HIV Positive) was told today and had to sign a form for permission to heavily sedate him that as violent as he is if the sedation doesn't work he will be taken from the nursing home and put in a mental institution. The hospice nurse said she has never seen a case this bad. Is this common with Aids Dementia. Thank you for any advice.
This is such a heartbreaker.

I'm sorry to hear your friend is dealing with this.
I can't speak for AIDS-related dementia, but I can speak for Alzheimer's-related dementia. Anything that disrupts the normal function of the brain can bring on violent and aggressive behavior.
All it takes is for the right (wrong) portion of the brain to be affected for negative personality changes to manifest. These include reacting violently to others. Most times the violence is due to heightened anxiety related to reduced ability to function normally.
If sedation doesn't bring your friend peace, then a mental institute will be the best place for him. Nursing homes and hospice care facilities usually don't have staff trained and that specialize in handling violent patients. Even though your friend cannot help being the way he is, he will need special care to prevent him injuring himself and others.

Thank you so much for the response. They kicked him out of the nursing home took him to the hospital with a police escort. They checked him out at the hospital and released him to wander the hospital all night until security escorted him out. His son finally went and got him and took him to their house. The wife who is HIV Positive had to leave out of fear so he is alone, almost totally blind, confused and nothing can be done they said until he loses consciousness. I never thought this is how the system works.

Hi Martha . Im so sorry for the situation your friend ( all of you ) are in . I hardly know what to say in the way of constructive advice but maybe if you tell us where he is located another member may be aware of a resource in your area that can help .
In the off chance that he doesn't have a social worker in an ASO , I would call one today and let them know how dire the situation has become .
He is lucky to have family that can look after him , some aren't so lucky .

Jeff, Thank you. Each day there is another crisis. Now we all wait for the next days problems. I have talked in detail with him on the phone this last week. Sometimes he sounds like he always did and sometimes he is totally off the wall and that is where the anger lies. He was in the Hospice program and they had to drop him until the violence stops. His wife does have a Social Worker with an AIDS affiliation and since he refuses to go back to a nursing home they said he will have to lose consciousness or pass away and call 911. I gave her this web site link and am encouraging her to get involved.

Scarling. is an American noise pop band from Los Angeles, whose core members are Jessicka and Christian Hejnal-Addams. The band formed in 2002. They have released two albums, Sweet Heart Dealer and So Long, Scarecrow.
The band's name comes from a fictional word created by singer/fine artist Jessicka in 1999. In 2001 the definition appeared on Scarling's website: "Middle English, from Old English scaerlinc, from scar+ -ling, -linc -ling; akin to Old High German von scar, Latin scarnos 1. the smallest mark on your heart left by the healing of a severe injury. 2. he or she who is scarred densely almost emotionless. 3. a mentally challenged/physically handicapped sibling of a normal star. 4. a band from Los Angeles. The "S" in Scarling. is sometimes lower case and the word itself ends in a full stop or period."
Scarling. was formed by singer Jessicka Fodera (known simply as Jessicka) after the dissolution of her band, Jack Off Jill, and guitarist Christian Hejnal. They were introduced by guitarist Lisa Leveridge, and they began rehearsing and recording in a San Fernando Valley performance space; after the pair had written a number of songs together, they began a search for additional band members and eventually cemented the first and very short-lived lineup of Scarling.
In early 2002, Jessicka was introduced to Long Gone John, owner of Sympathy for the Record Industry, by mutual friend Mark Ryden. On March 19, 2003, Scarling's debut single, "Band Aid Covers the Bullet Hole" (produced by Chris Vrenna), was released on the Sympathy for the Record Industry label. Its cover featured an illustration called "Wound 39" by Mark Ryden.
In April 2004, Scarling. released their debut album, Sweet Heart Dealer, a seven-song release again produced by Vrenna and packaged by Ryden. Later that year, Jessicka was featured on the cover of ROCKRGRL magazine's vocalist issue. Scarling was then invited to join the lineup of the Robert Smith-organized Curiosa Festival, performing on select West Coast dates alongside Interpol, The Rapture, Mogwai, Cursive, The Cooper Temple Clause, and longtime inspirations The Cure. Smith described the band's music as "dark, desperate, chaotic, gorgeous pop music, the sound of the end of the world" and nominated "Sweet Heart Dealer" for the 2004 Shortlist Music Prize. While Alternative Press Magazine said Scarling. sounded like, "being French kissed by the most beautiful beings in the world, really alluring yet massive stuff." Three weeks before joining the Curiosa tour, drummer Garey Snider left and was briefly replaced by Samantha Maloney in order to perform live at a group art showing at the Copro/Nason Gallery (Santa Monica, California). Weeks later they found drummer Beth Gordon, who served as Scarling's permanent replacement. Scarling, with the help of friend and fill-in bassist Radio Sloan, continued to play around Los Angeles and San Francisco at clubs such as The Bottom Of The Hill, Spaceland and The Troubadour.
On October 21, 2004, John Peel, English disc jockey and radio presenter, invited Robert Smith to stand in for him while he was in Peru as a guest DJ on what turned out to be the last Peel Session show.[10] Smith played Scarling's Crispin Glover as one of the tracks in his eclectic set. Scarling. were also chosen by Smith to be part of his Celebrity Playlist on iTunes along with Cocteau Twins, My Bloody Valentine, Supergrass, Nirvana (band), Placebo, The Psychedelic Furs, and several bands that played on the Curiosa tour earlier that year.[12] Smith wrote a quote about each song and wrote "Beautiful shadows" next to the Scarling. track.
After a series of 7″ singles on Sympathy, Scarling announced in early 2005 that their second album, So Long, Scarecrow, would appear later that year; it was preceded by the single "We Are the Music Makers", and was released on August 23, 2005. So Long, Scarecrow was co-produced by Rob Campanella, formerly of The Brian Jonestown Massacre, at his studio, The Committee to Keep Music Evil headquarters. The critical reception for Scarecrow was generally strong: Alternative Press gave the album a 5 out of 5 rating. Simon Price from The Independent said, "In contrast to the abrasive JOJ sound, Scarling. work up a wonderfully hazy guitar swirl, reminiscent of post-My Bloody Valentine noise-pop from the Britain of the early Nineties." Chris Beyond from No-Fi Magazine described Scarecrow as "somewhere between Blonde Redhead and Sonic Youth and said "there are 13 tracks on this album, but they leave you wanting more." Scarling's was touted as resurrecting goth' by Venus magazine: "Goth isn't dead. It's just evolved into a sweeter version with Scarling's variety of distorted but, dare I say, gorgeous version of the once-dreary genre. On the band's full-length debut, So Long, Scarecrow, frontwoman Jessicka's syrupy yet cautious vocals are quite different than her former angry, self-mutilating persona in the late '90s Marilyn Manson-esque group Jack off Jill."
In December 2005, Scarling. embarked on its first UK tour, creating a buzz for themselves and selling out most venues. SLS's first single "City Noise" is featured on the compilation Alright, This Time Just the Girls Vol. 2 and 2006's Staring To The Sun. The song "Bummer" from SLS was featured on Showtime's The L Word season 3 episode "Latecomer",[18] as well as an Urban Outfitters/Filter magazine compilation. An episode of the medical drama Grey's Anatomy (season 2) is titled "Band Aid Covers the Bullet Hole".
In 2006, Scarling continued to tour in the United States and Europe, embarking on their first co-heading with UK shoegaze outfit Amusement Parks on Fire and opening for The Wedding Present and Depeche Mode later in the year.
Scarling. currently resides in the neighborhood of Silver Lake, Los Angeles, California. On February 14, 2006 (Valentine's Day), while on a break from touring, Jessicka and guitarist Christian Hejnal were engaged. Their wedding took place on October 13, 2007, at the Oviatt Penthouse in Los Angeles.
Scarling. performed at the wedding of Bravo's Shear Genius finalist Janine Jarman and Matthew Wolcott at the Houdini Mansion in Hollywood on June 26, 2010.
Jessicka has stated that, after her art show "Little Grey Secrets", Scarling. would resume. Scarling. released their single "Who Wants To Die For Art?" digitally in the US on iTunes October 31, 2013.
On May 13, 2014, Mark Ryden released an album entitled The Gay Nineties Old Tyme Music: Daisy Bell, that features Scarling along with other artists all giving a different rendition of the same song, "Daisy Bell (Bicycle Built for Two)". The album, printed on 180 g red vinyl, was limited to 999 copies, all hand-numbered and signed by Ryden. Half of the records were sold at the Michael Kohn gallery. The proceeds from the record will benefit Little Kids Rock, a nonprofit that supports musical education in disadvantaged elementary schools.

In the early 1950s, the MiG OKB was engaged in the simultaneous development of MiG-17 de-rivatives and potential successors to the M1G-17. A derivative was the SM-1, or 1-340, which mated the forward fuselage, wings and tail surfaces of the MiG-17 with a new centre and rear fuselage accommodating paired 4,850 lb st (2 200 kgp) Mikulin AM-S single-shaft turbojets. Trials with the SM-1, which apparently commenced at the beginning of 1952, were largely concerned with the engine installation as similarly paired AM-5s had meanwhile been selected to power a more advanced fighter, the 1-360. In consequence, the SM-1 did not progress beyond prototype status. Earlier, in 1951, another MiG-17 airframe had been fitted with a Lyulka TR-3 axial-flow turbojet of 10,140 lb st (4600 kgp) as the S1-16, this serving as a test-bed for the I-350, and in 1953, yet a further MiG-17 airframe, the SR-2, was to be fitted with a Kliinov VK-5F centrifugal-flow turbojet of 6,834 lb st (3100 kgp), this being the ultimate Soviet development of the Rolls-Royce Nene. No performance data or weights are available for the SM-1, and overall dimensions were similar to those of the MiG-17F apart from a length of 36 ft 11 in (11,25 m) and a height of 12 ft 7.9 in (3,86 m).

Supply chain management is the ultimate back office function. It doesn't receive as much attention as websites, marketing technology and app development. Yet improving the supply chain yields major bottom line benefits.
Walmart and Amazon are household names in retail, noted for their global presence and steady emphasis on delivering low prices. Outstanding supply chain and operations systems are a key reason for their success. What if other companies were able to achieve Walmart-style supply chain efficiencies? That's the promise of a new generation of supply chain innovators.
What's driving today's smart supply chain?
Improving the supply chain and internal operations wasn't always a top concern. Think back to the 1990s: Low fuel prices and high economic growth meant minimal returns from optimizing the supply chain. That has all changed. Anti-terrorism measures have added red tape and procedural delays to shipping. Fuel surcharges have become a normal item on vendor invoices, even when commodity prices decline. These trends have created an increased sense of urgency to cut costs.
