Big things happening in today's post, so it's a good thing that of the 28 players in this year's field,
only the Michigan State boys have any reason to pay attention to the games going on right now. NEVER MIND. And speaking as a perpetual loser, they've been so spoiled by their team that they probably won't even care about the tournament until the Final Four. SO LISTEN UP.
We've finalized the price of this year's tournament. $454 per player. That covers: all your golf, hotel Thursday through Sunday, lunch Friday/Saturday, some apps Saturday night (and hopefully a box of hot dogs), the bus, all the prizes and gifts. Again, if you want a more detailed breakdown, just let me know.
A few of the charges have already hit my credit card and the rest will be hitting it soon enough, so if you guys can start sending the money over as soon as possible, that'd be much appreciated. The massive charge is going to come early May, so at the absolute latest, please try to get me the money by May 7th. Paypal is the preferred method of payment, so just send it to my Gmail account.
Moving on…
The tKOX Draft Party is on deck! Since some of you guys have lives outside of tKO, we're going to draft the teams as close to 5PM CT next Friday as possible, so you guys can scurry back home to your less awesome responsibilities, while the rest of us hone our scramble black out drunk skills. Anyone in the Chicagoland area, let's meet up at Jefferson Tap next Friday (3/25) as soon as you can get there. Why Jefferson Tap, because it's a confirmed shit hole and right by Union Station. For those of you not able to attend, we'll try to broadcast the drawling live on the website as well as on Periscope.
Either we got an incredible voter turnout after last week's post or someone was very busy voting from multiple devices, but there was a decisive winner in the poll. Round 2 will be played with a teammate in your cart! Hopefully you don't hate each other! Personally, I think this is going to go a long way in building the comradery among the teams and really take this year's tournament to the next level.
Just a reminder, each team of four will have one player from the pools below, which we'll be selecting at random next Friday. You'll play with a teammate in a 2 v 2 match in round one. Round two will be a 1 v 1 match, but you'll have a teammate in your foursome. Round three is the flighted rounds, so who knows who you are playing with. And round four is the scramble, so you'll be with all of your teammates there. We'll release the round one and two match ups on Thursday night, tKO Eve, but since you'll know your team by next Friday, you can start planning outfits and team handshakes immediately.
You might have noticed an onslaught of fairway files posts from Chris this morning? That's because the handicaps for the pools are locked in as of this morning and he wanted out of the trash pool. Did you have a million old scores you wanted enter? Too fucking bad, you should've been sitting next to us at the Bulls game last night. And really should've been doing it all along, so cry me a river. Your official tKOX Bixler handicap won't be locked in until the week of the tournament, so if you do have old scores, still enter them in. Here are your pools, remember one from each pool makes up your team.
Alright gents, send me that money and I hope to see most of you guys next Friday. But more importantly, send me that money.

Some days you see some really arresting stuff. You just look at it and go 'what is that all about!' It happens in the universe, the world and inside businesses. You just think … really! And, sometimes the answer is, yer, really.
Intelligent design?
And now for the pseudoscientific.
The theory based, the non-specific.
Antithesis of methodical naturalism.
But not, I'm told, full on creationism.
So, you shout, what of natural selection.
The irreducible complexity connection.
What of the fit survive, the weak fail.
What of eternal life, the Holiest Grail.
Of Pandas and People, Men and Mice.
Of all the things sugar sweet and spice.
Of all things rough, textured and fine.
Look around, really, intelligent design?

Image used: M106 Across the Spectrum.
"The spiral arms of bright, active galaxy M106 sprawl through this remarkable multiwavelength portrait, composed of image data from radio to X-rays, across the electromagnetic spectrum. Also known as NGC 4258, M106 can be found toward the northern constellation Canes Venatici. The well-measured distance to M106 is 23.5 million light-years, making this cosmic scene about 60,000 light-years across. Typical in grand spiral galaxies, dark dust lanes, youthful star clusters, and star forming regions trace spiral arms that converge on a bright nucleus. But this composite highlights two anomalous arms in radio (purple) and X-ray (blue) that seem to arise in the central region of M106, evidence of energetic jets of material blasting into the galaxy's disk. The jets are likely powered by matter falling into a massive central black hole".

|Gaboon Viper
Bitis gabonica
The largest viper in Africa, the Gaboon can grow to over 7 feet in length, with an average length of just under 4 feet, and weighs 15 to 22 pounds. Females are generally larger and heavier than males. The Gaboon also has the largest fangs of all venomous snakes, about 2 inches long in a full-grown adult. The large triangular-shaped head tapers into a narrow neck and a large, thick body.
Color patterns of Gaboon Vipers form a symmetrical design that makes a unique pattern on the scales. The base color is usually brown or purple, on top of which are yellow quadrangles that are aligned over the center of the back. The quadrangles have hourglass-shaped brown spaces, and there are brown or purple triangles along the sides of the body, with yellow and purple stains between each. The ventral side is light yellow with dark spots, and the eyes are grayish with a hint of silver.
Distribution and Habitat
Gaboon Vipers are found throughout much of the tropical regions of sub-Saharan Africa, and are most abundant in rainforests and other moist, tropical habitats. There are two subspecies, based on geography -- the East African, B. g. gabonica; and the West African, B. g. rhinoceros. The two subspecies are similar in overall appearance, but the West African has a pair of "horns" between its nostrils.
The Gaboon Viper uses its coloration to blend into the forest floor and await its prey. Most of its diet consists of rodents, ground-living or feeding birds, and frogs and toads, but specimens have been found to have ingested giant rats, brush-tailed porcupines, and even fully grown royal antelopes.
Gaboon Vipers generally mate in the rainy season, which froms September through December. The female gives birth to 30-40 live offspring after a gestation period of 7 months. Already about a foot long at birth, the young are immediately on their own and receive no post-birth care or protection.
Other Information
Gaboon Vipers are most active around sunset. Except for breeding, they are solitary. They are considered extremely docile snakes, and do not usually attack humans unless they are seriously provoked.

Bitcoin Price is Expected to Increase Further
Bitcoin has recently reached more than the 5000-dollar mark in just one night. The Bitcoin price rose to 8% percent from $4780 to $5220. This is the second time Bitcoin approached more than $5000 threshold just before the sudden crash due to China's crackdown.
Bitcoin observed a small decrease from $4900 to $4780 before catapulting to more than $5000. This happened due to the sudden price surge which occurred in three days. The sudden price increase led to over $530 which resulted to the $4900. One day after that, the $4780 increased $440. The cryptocurrency had a strong momentum but only for a short term.
Bitcoin Price May Further Increase
Many factors dictate the ups and downs of the cryptocurrency. One of which is the effects of the China's restrictions on the most prominent cryptocurrencies that made the Bitcoin crash to below $3000. This happened in the second week of September. The currency value then rose to new heights a month after. The increase can be traced to other markets opening to having Bitcoin as a legal currency exchange.
Even the Japanese government has recently overtaken the USA regarding being the most significant Bitcoin market. As of now, Japan did a national licensing program for Bitcoin. On another side, Amazon brought in Bitcoin as means of payment in their platform.
Indeed, the Bitcoin price is expected to increase when the time comes for online competitors to warrant the virtual currency into their platforms. Such examples include Alibaba, the most extensive online shopping platform in Asia. There are many branches of Alibaba so even if China imposed strict restrictions, it would be no problem. Indeed, if Alibaba wants to get toe to toe with Amazon, that's one thing they should consider.
More and more organizations, businesses, and people are considering virtual currencies. If you can remember, at the start of the year 2017, the exchange was below $1000. Thus, following the trend, the Bitcoin value may even reach higher heights next year! As of writing, the Bitcoin exchange is 1 Bitcoin is to 5597.76 US Dollars.

- With a sharp, heavy knife, cut off the top one-third of the artichoke, which consists of inedible leaf tips. Pull off any short, coarse leaves from the bottom, and cut off about 1 inch of the tough stem. With a paring knife, peel the remaining stem.
- Don't cut an artichoke with a carbon-steel knife; it will turn the cut parts black. Rub the cut parts with lemon juice to keep them from darkening.
- In a large pot or steamer bottom, bring 2 or 3 inches of water to a boil. You can add herbs or other seasonings to the steaming water to impart a subtle flavor to the artichokes as they cook. Some good choices are rosemary, lemon juice, white wine, garlic, bay leaves, fennel seeds or tarragon vinegar.
- Place the artichokes, stem-sides up, in the steamer and set over the boiling water. Cover and cook until tender, 30 to 45 minutes. To test for doneness, stick a small, sharp knife into the stem where it joins the base of the artichoke.
- Remove the artichokes and let them cool slightly, upside down. Serve them warm, at room temperature or chilled.

The Bank of England has appointed one of China's "big four" banks as the Chinese currency clearing bank in London.
The China Construction Bank will be the London renminbi clearing house.
The appointment is part of a plan to make London a hub for Chinese currency dealing.
Standard Life chair Sir Gerry Grimstone said renminbi trading is the most important issue facing the City of London at the moment.
In March, the Bank of England signed a memorandum of understanding with the People's Bank of China setting out the deal.
The banks have said they want to encourage the cross-border use of renminbi, or yuan, to rebalance the global economy.
Bank of England governor Mark Carney said the appointment was an "important milestone", because the Chinese bank would "play a valuable role in facilitating greater use of the RMB (renminbi) for trade, investment and other economic activities in the UK".
Mr Grimstone, who chairs financial services trade body The CityUK and Standard Life, helped broker the memorandum.
He said the deal could help to secure City jobs for decades.
"We're moving down a track very rapidly where London is going to become … the offshore centre for trading renminbi," he told the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).
Two-thirds of Chinese currency traded outside of China is already done in London, he added.
On Tuesday, Prime Minister David Cameron announced that trade deals worth more than £14billion had been signed during a state visit by Chinese premier, Li Keqiang.
Mr Li said the yuan clearing house deal "will further consolidate and promote London's status as an international financial hub" and help "promote trade and investment liberalisation and facilitation".
During Mr Li's visit, the London Stock Exchange (LSE) said that it had signed agreements with two of China's biggest banks to develop UK renminbi trading.
The LSE deal with the Bank of China will see the two firms design clearing and financing processes for financial products.

Davis pens new Crewe deal
Crystal Palace boss Ian Holloway has laid into the press for
suggesting that Wilfried Zaha could be on his way to Arsenal.
With the January transfer window looming, the 20-year-old
striker was recently linked with the Gunners.
But when a journalist asked Holloway on Friday about reports of
his possible departure from Selhurst Park, Holloway was having none
of it.
He said: "I'm fed up talking about Wilf. We have some great
players here.
"Why not talk about Andre Moritz or Mile Jedinak or Yannick
"Wilf's our player, he's on a four and half year contract and it
would take a lot more than one player to de-rail us.
"We have many good players. It's all because he was called up by
England lately."
The Eagles are currently second in the Championship table and
Holloway added: "I thought it was unprofessional of Arsenal to
mention Zaha.
"I like Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. He would help our promotion
push. And what about Theo Walcott, he's out of contract at the end
of this season.
"I bet you wouldn't start the speculation that way around."
Gerrard became only the sixth England player to reach 100 caps
in Sweden last month and was regarded as one of the stand-out
performers at Euro 2012, when Roy Hodgson's team were knocked out
in the quarter-finals by Italy.
The 32-year-old won the award in 2007, and has finished in the
top three on three other occasions, highlighting his consistency
over an international career that now extends over 12 years.
Gerrard is joined on the list by Liverpool team-mate Glen
Johnson and also Joe Hart and Ashley Cole, who won it in 2010.
In addition, Manchester United's Danny Welbeck is also amongst
the nominees after emerging as top scorer in 2012 with five

The Perth side face Cowdenbeath in the Scottish Cup on Monday
night after the fourth-round match was rearranged following a
second postponement.
While the full focus for 90 minutes will be on getting three SPL
points, Davidson accepts St Johnstone will have to begin preparing
for the cup tie as the final whistle blows.
Despite the fifth round being almost two months away, cup rules
mean the game is to be played on Monday after a second
postponement, and Cowdenbeath have been handed a possible advantage
after their Irn-Bru First Division clash with Partick Thistle was
Davidson said: "It's not ideal. It's probably the first time in
my career that I've done it.
"I know myself, and a lot of the boys – on the Sunday you feel
okay and the Sunday comes and you feel a lot more stiff.
"So as soon as the game finishes on Saturday, more than any
other game, we have got to make sure we are doing the right things
to get ready for Monday. Ice baths, eating right, drinking right,
getting everything back in your body to make sure you are as close
to 100 per cent as you can be.
"There is nothing we can do about it and we have to make sure we
are as best prepared as we can be.
"It doesn't matter if it's Tuesday or Wednesday – you have got
to prepare right, but obviously being Monday it's going to be
"There has to be a reason for it being Monday – I'm not sure
why. You have got to just accept it."
Manager Steve Lomas added: "It's a strange one. I have never
heard anything like that before.
"You would have thought Tuesday night would have been ideal, but
I don't know what the rules are.
"It does seem strange when you have got a free week that you put
it on the Monday, 48 hours after a game.
"It will be a challenge, two away games, and Arbroath did
brilliantly at Celtic Park so they will fancy their chances of
causing an upset.
"It's a tough couple of days but it could be a good couple of
days with two wins."
St Johnstone will face another trip to Paisley in the fifth
round if they beat Cowdenbeath and Lomas expects to face a St
Mirren side desperate to continue moving forward following a
six-game losing streak. Danny Lennon's team are now unbeaten in
Lomas said: "They are probably looking at it like us. After the
first five games we probably thought we should be sitting on eight
points rather than the two we had.
"That's football. It all boils down to the two different ends of
the pitch.
"Can you keep them out and can you take your chances when you
get them? They are the small margins."
Now the skipper wants to see the Highlanders go a step further
by taking maximum points when the two sides meet again
County earned a credible goalless draw in their first ever SPL
fixture when they played host to the Steelmen in August.
Brittain said: "There was a lot of emotion going into that game,
a lot of nerves.
"It was our first game in the SPL but I thought we stood up to
the task very well against a side who were still in Europe at that
"We knew ourselves that we could handle life in the SPL.
"Don't get me wrong, it's very difficult in the SPL and results
are hard to pick up, but I thought that game made a few people sit
up and realise that we're not just here to make up the numbers.
"We held our heads up after that game and hopefully we can do
the same on Saturday.
"It's the return fixture at their place and hopefully we can
play to the same standards and possibly come away with something
from the game."
Tomorrow's long trip south sees County make their first visit to
Fir Park.
The midfielder added: "It's a game we're looking forward to.
It's a new venue for us and one the boys will hopefully enjoy.
"Hopefully we'll put on a good show and get the three
Brittain was on the scoresheet as the Dingwall outfit fought
back from behind to earn a draw with high-flying local rivals
Inverness in last week's William Hill Scottish Cup tie.
He said: "We've got to take the positives from that game.
"We scored three goals, played really well and showed grit and
determination to hang on when we went a goal down.
"Not many teams come back from a goal down against Caley this
season, that's why they're up there are the top end of the table
and rightly so.
"They deserve to be there but we've got to focus on ourselves
and keep taking the positives from the games and we'll continue to
do that."
A solitary victory has left the Royals second from bottom in the
table and they face a critical relegation showdown with 18th-placed
Southampton at St Mary's on Saturday.
McDermott admits he fails at any attempt to divert his attention
away from planning Reading's escape from relegation, but the
51-year-old believes the challenge facing him has honed his
managerial skills.
"I play the guitar now and then and read books, but I'm always
thinking about the next training session, player I need to talk to,
our next game. It's all about football and where we have got to get
to," he said.
"I'm a better manager this season than I was last season.
Results wouldn't suggest that, but I think I will be a better
manager for this experience.
"I've learnt that I'm very resilient and the only way to deal
with a situation is to look at the present, not the future nor the
"In the last two years I've had to deal with the play-off final
defeat and success of winning the Championship.
"In it's own way they have their own difficulties and that's a
funny thing to say, but there are interesting dynamics with both of
Reading's precarious position has left McDermott fourth in the
Premier League sack race, despite spending little money on
strengthening his squad during the summer.
A 2-1 victory over Everton in mid-November raised hopes of a
change in fortunes at Madejski Stadium, but three successive
defeats heading into this month's hectic schedule has restored the
McDermott has embraced the most difficult period of his
managerial career, but suggests that Reading are perhaps being
judged too harshly as speculation over his future mounts.
"As a manager I'm working hard to get the solutions and this is
where you earn your money," he said.
"This is where you find out about everybody and everything and,
believe it or not, I'm relishing it. Would I say I'm having a great
time? No.
"It's an experience I've not really had before because we have
had nothing but success.
"Is this success for Reading right now? Doing what we are doing
with what we have spent – that is a discussion you could have.
"I knew the questions I'm being asked would come, they're
obvious when you haven't won for three games. It's 2012, it's where
we are."
A run of eight points from five games has eased the pressure on
Saints manager Nigel Adkins, dropping him beneath his friend
McDermott his the sack race.
"I know Nigel really well. He's done a fantastic job over a
period of time, performing miracles to get them into this division
with two promotions in two years," McDermott said.
"I have nothing but admiration for Nigel, he's a terrific
manager. They've invested a lot of money in the summer so they've
brought quality."
The Brazilian limped off during Saturday's win at Reading.
It came at the end of an impressive recent period for the former
FC Porto star, who has brought added energy to Red Devils'
However, after a succession of major injuries, Anderson has now
picked up another one that will keep him out for the remainder of
the month.

Davis succeeded club legend Dario Gradi in the Gresty Road
hotseat last November and led Alex to League Two play-off final
glory over Cheltenham, crowning a phenomenal 19-match unbeaten
The Railwaymen lie 14th in the third tier ahead of this
weekend's trip to Preston and Davis has only presided over 13
defeats in his 58 games at the helm.
His impressive work led to links with the recent managerial
vacancy at former club Burnley, but the 47-year old has now
committed his future to the Railwaymen.
Despite reports suggesting an 18-month rolling contract, Crewe
did not confirm the length of Davis' new deal when announcing the
news on their official website on Friday evening.

Hello everyone,
I know this forum is more about asm86 but I thought maybe someone knows enough about assembly in general or had some expirience in asm51 as well and can help me with my questions(wich are simple),
I needed a 16bit(word) counter and I didn't have appropriate register for that in 89S52,so I wrote the following code in asm51 for the 89S52 microcontroller:
ORG 50h
counter DW #0FA0h
DEC counter
JZ counter,label3
(the "..." comes instead of large pieces of code,"label3" is a label later in the code) my questions are:
Is my code correct,
can I use a defined memory cell the way I used it?
Am I decriecing the word correctly or I need special instructions for that?
Thank you,
Arctic wolf.

Well i've been playing TFT for a bit of time and now im trying to see if my tactics are good to yours XD even tho their might be some difference but i would like to see how other ppl opperate their tactics Normally i play the Undead race...
Undead : i would firstly build a crypt, altar of darkness and a ziggurat (in any order but ziggurat will be in the front). After that i would start building 2 alcolytes. Once my altar of darkness comes out i would choose the death knight (becoz he has death coil). Once the crypt is built i make 2 ghouls. Once the hero is out i would select one ghoul and go training (amount depends on what map it is). Once i have enough gold to build a graveyard i build it XD. Then build another zigg (so that i dont have to wait for food). Then the rest is how good you control your army as well as upgrades. NOTE: training on creeps is very important at the start especially in a small map ur opponent may take your creeps b4 u get thereXD!!
Okay now its your turn please explain your guide :)
ah man...i just DOTA....and now this?....
quite honestly the right way to do wrong.
i havent played ladder..
for over 3 years.
In Your Pants. Rofl. Jk. MSN.
o i used to be pro with undead... letseee what i did was either a crypt fiend and Abomination combo, or a frost wyrm and gargoyle combo
I'm a complete nub I only play for fun with some friends but we seem to win more then we lose when we all get the Naga Sea Witch and go harass people all together. Haha I don't think I could give you a real strategy though
Holy.. I haven't played ladder in like 3 years.. LOL but yea my last accounts where ''[email protected]'' and ''[email protected]''.. I was good with all races still.
Crying out for me?

Editors Note:
The S&P fell -13 points intraday but rebounded from support to close flat. The dip buyers are alive and well but they waited until just before the close to jump into the market. The S&P recovered from a 13-point decline to close only fractionally lower. The Dow fell 90 points at its lows, which came at 2:30 but rebounded 54 points to close only modestly lower.
The Nasdaq Composite fell to nearly a four-week low at 6,309 (-61) but rebounded to lose only 18 points. Tomorrow will be decision day. If the markets rally, the decline was just a knee jerk reaction. If they move lower, it means the sentiment was damaged and the August decline may be beginning.

ITW - Illinois Tool Works - Company Profile
No specific news. Shares declined slightly with the market but strong support at $140.
Original Trade Description: Aug 5th.
Illinois Tool Works Inc. manufactures and sells industrial products and equipment worldwide. It operates through seven segments: Automotive OEM; Test & Measurement and Electronics; Food Equipment; Polymers & Fluids; Welding; Construction Products; and Specialty Products. The Automotive OEM segment produces plastic and metal components, fasteners, and assemblies for automotive-related applications. The Test & Measurement and Electronics segment provides equipment, consumables, and related software for testing and measuring of materials and structures. This segment also offers equipment and consumables used in the production of electronic subassemblies and microelectronics. The Food Equipment segment provides commercial food processing, warewashing, cooking, and refrigeration equipment; and kitchen exhaust, ventilation, and pollution control systems, as well as related services. The Polymers & Fluids segment produces adhesives, sealants, lubrication and cutting fluids, and fluids and polymers for auto aftermarket maintenance and appearance. The Welding segment produces arc welding equipment, consumables, and accessories; and metal jacketing and other insulation products for various industrial and commercial applications. The Construction Products segment produces engineered fastening systems and solutions. The Specialty Products segment provides beverage packaging equipment and consumables, product coding and marking equipment and consumables, and appliance components and fasteners. The company distributes its products directly to industrial manufacturers, as well as through independent distributors. Company description from FinViz.com.
ITW reported earnings of $1.69 that beat estimates for $1.63. Revenue of $3.6 billion missed estimates for $3.62 billion. Shares fell from $147 to $139 and traded sideways for two weeks. They guided for Q3 for earnings of $1.57-$1.67 and analysts were expecting $1.68. For the full year, they expect earnings of $6.32 to $6.52. Shares had risen 20% in 2017 and the minor miss caused some profit taking.
The company said on the earnings call that revenue was driven by the automotive sector plus some cyclical areas like welding, test and measurement. Organic revenue rose 2.6%. GAAP earnings rose 16%.
They guided for full year organic growth of 2%-4%, up from 1.5%-3.5% in January. They did guide for slower growth in Q3 because of the slowdown in the automotive sector. Vehicle sales have plateaued the last several months and there is always a pause in August while the manufacturers retool the plants for the next model year vehicles. ITW expects a 6% decline in auto builds in Q3 and a 2% decline in Q4. However, even with that decline, ITW is still predicting the 2% to 4% organic growth rate for the full year with a 1% to 3% growth rate in Q3.
Earnings expected on Oct 23rd.
On Friday, they announced a regular quarterly dividend of 78 cents payable Oct 10th to holders on September 29th. Shares rose $1.45 on the news to close at a two week high.
I am recommending ITW because it has already reported earnings, was punished for the revenue miss and was starting to tick higher before the dividend announcement. This is a good company and even with the auto slowdown, will continue to grow. The dip and the low cost of the option gives us a little insurance against a market decline. Support is $140.
Position 8/7/17:
Long Dec $145 call @ $3.90, see portfolio graphic for stop loss.
VAR - Varian Medical Systems - Company Profile
No specific news. Shares posted a minor gain in a weak market.
Original Trade Description: Aug 2nd.
Varian Medical Systems, Inc. designs, manufactures, sells, and services medical devices and software products for treating cancer and other medical conditions worldwide. It operates through two segments, Oncology Systems and Imaging Components. The Oncology Systems segment provides hardware and software products for treating cancer with radiotherapy, fixed field intensity-modulated radiation therapy, image-guided radiation therapy, volumetric modulated arc therapy, stereotactic radiosurgery, stereotactic body radiotherapy, and brachytherapy. Its products include linear accelerators, brachytherapy afterloaders, treatment simulation, verification equipment, and accessories; and information management, treatment planning, image processing, clinical knowledge exchange, patient care management, decision-making support, and practice management software. This segment serves university research and community hospitals, private and governmental institutions, healthcare agencies, physicians' offices, oncology practices, radiotherapy centers, and cancer care clinics. The Imaging Components segment offers X-ray imaging components for use in radiographic or fluoroscopic imaging, mammography, special procedures, computed tomography, computer aided diagnostics, and industrial applications. It also provides Linatron X-ray accelerators, imaging processing software, and image detection products for security and inspection purposes. This segment serves original equipment manufacturers, independent service companies, and end-users. In addition, the company offers products and systems for delivering proton therapy; and develops technologies in the areas of digital X-ray imaging, volumetric and functional imaging, and improved X-ray sources. Company description from FinViz.com.
Expected earnings October 26th.
On July 26th, Varian reported earnings of $1.04 that beat estimates for 95 cents. Revenue of $662.4 million just barely missed estimates for $663.2 million due in part to currency translation issues. They sell their high dollar imaging systems all over the world.
The guided for the current quarter for earnings of $1.15-$1.23 and analysts were expecting $1.18. This should have been positive but the stock fell $6 because of the minor revenue miss.
If the market is going to be historically weak in August, shares that have already been beaten up will fare better than the rest of the market. I am choosing the $105 strike instead of the $100 strike for reduced cost/risk going into August.
Position 8/3/17:
Long Nov $105 call @ $1.75, see portfolio graphic for stop loss.
VIX - Volatility Index - Index Profile
The VIX spiked to 12.63 intraday and right to downtrend resistance. The index rolled over when the market rebounded late in the day. Plenty of time with our November option. We still have to get past the budget battle and the debt ceiling fight.
Original Trade Description: July 12th.
The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX Index) is a key measure of market expectations of near-term volatility conveyed by S&P 500 stock index option prices. Since its introduction in 1993, the VIX Index has been considered by many to be the world's premier barometer of investor sentiment and market volatility. Several investors expressed interest in trading instruments related to the market's expectation of future volatility, and so VX futures were introduced in 2004, and VIX options were introduced in 2006.
The VIX closed at a 24-year low on July 14th at 9.51. The index has been spending a lot of time under 10 over the last three months and this is highly abnormal. The VIX typically trades up to 20 or more three times a year or more. That has not happen since the days before the election. This period of abnormal volatility WILL eventually end.
With the Trump administration getting more desperate to achieve some legislative goals there is always the risk they will go to extremes to get them accomplished. Add in the unknown but rapidly expanding Russian probes and anything is possible. We saw the Dow fall triple digits intraday on just the release of 5 emails from Trump Jr. If the probe actually uncovered something material, it could cause a major market meltdown.
The debt ceiling and the budget expire on Sept 31st. If Congress cannot get a budget passed and raise the debt ceiling, the government would shut down on October 1st. We have seen this before. The last time it happened the U.S. lost its AAA credit rating and the market declined sharply for more than a week.
What about North Korea? Military force could be used at any time but North Korea seems dead set on testing another nuke and expanding its ICBM tests. If fighting breaks out between the U.S. and North Korea it would cause a significant market decline because of the geopolitical concerns and the potential loss of life in Seoul, South Korea.
Even if none of those events occurred, there is always the risk of a 10% market decline just because we have not had one in a very long time. With August and September the worst months of the year for the market, the potential for a correction this year could be higher than normal. The Nasdaq is already up 18% and the Dow 9% for the year. The FAANG stocks are at record highs, which many say are unsupported by fundamentals.
There are so many potential opportunities for a market disaster. It only makes sense to take out some protection while the volatility is at record lows. I am recommending a November call to get us past the Aug/Sep period and the potential for a debt ceiling event in early October.
Position 7/20/17:
Long Nov $15 call @ $1.85, no stop loss. Target $22 to exit.

DIA - Dow ETF - ETF Profile
The Dow fell to 22,000, which became support and traders bought the dip at the close. Futures are down again so it will be interesting to see if the decline continues or a rebound appears.
Original Trade Description: July 27th.
The SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust seeks to provide investment results that, before expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (the "Index"). The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is composed of 30 "blue-chip" U.S. stocks. The DJIA is the oldest continuous barometer of the U.S. stock market, and the most widely quoted indicator of U.S. stock market activity. The DJIA is a price-weighted index of 30 component common stocks.
The Dow closed at a new high in an ugly market solely because of big gains in Boeing, Disney and Verizon. If the rest of the market continues lower, the Dow will eventually crater as well. I am recommending we enter a put position on the Dow ETF at the current high.
Position 7/28/17:

FTNT - Fortinet - ETF Profile
No specific news. Big drop at the open. Prior support at $37 is holding and there was a rebound into the close.
Original Trade Description: July 29th.
Fortinet, Inc. provides cybersecurity solutions for enterprises, service providers, and government organizations worldwide. The company offers FortiGate physical and software licenses that provide various security and networking functions, including firewall, intrusion prevention, anti-malware, virtual private network, application control, Web filtering, anti-spam, and wide area network acceleration; FortiManager product family to provide a central management solution for FortiGate products comprising software updates, configuration, policy settings, and security updates; and the FortiAnalyzer product family, which offers a single point of network log data collection. It also provides FortiAP secure wireless access points; FortiWeb, a Web application firewall; FortiMail email security; FortiDB database security appliances; FortiClient, an endpoint security software; and FortiSwitch secure switch connectivity products. In addition, the company provides FortiSandbox advanced threat protection solutions; FortiDDos and FortiDB database security appliances; and FortiSIEM family of products to provide a cloud-ready security information and event management (SIEM) solution for enterprises and service providers. Further, it offers security subscription, technical support, training, and professional services.Company description from FinViz.com.
Expected earnings October 25th.
The company reported Q2 earnings of 14 cents that beat estimates for 8 cents. Revenue of $363.5 million also beat estimates for $361 million. All the normal metrics were good to great but their guidance failed to impress. Full year guidance was higher but Q3 guidance disappointed.
They guided for revenues in the $367-$373 million range and analysts were expecting $372 million. Earnings guidance for 22 cents matched estimates. Investors normally do not want a match, they want a raise. The lower level on the revenues is also a caution. Shares fell $3 over the last three days and are right on the verge of breaking through support.
The entire cybersecurity sector has been weak despite the recent attacks. This is another weight on FTNT.
Position 8/1/17:
Long Sept $36 put @ $.90, see portfolio graphic for stop loss.
IBM - International Business Machines - ETF Profile
No specific news. IBM only declined -$.34 today despite the weak market. After two days of $1+ declines, I am still satisfied.
International Business Machines Corporation provides information technology (IT) products and services worldwide. Its Cognitive Solutions segment includes Watson, a cognitive computing platform that interacts in natural language, processes big data, and learns from interactions with people and computers. The company's Cognitive Solutions segment also offers data and analytics solutions, including analytics and data management platforms, cloud data services, enterprise social software, talent management solutions, and solutions tailored by industry; and transaction processing software that runs mission-critical systems in banking, airlines, and retail industries. The company's Global Business Services segment offers business consulting services; delivers system integration, application management, maintenance, and support services for packaged software applications; and business process outsourcing services. Its Technology Services & Cloud Platforms segment provides cloud, project-based, outsourcing, and other managed services for enterprise IT infrastructure environments. This segment also offers technical support, and software and solution support; and integration software solutions. The company's Systems segment offers servers for businesses, cloud service providers, and scientific computing organizations; data storage products and solutions; and z/OS, an enterprise operating system for z systems. It has a strategic collaboration with ABB Ltd to develop industrial artificial intelligence solutions. The company was formerly known as Computing-Tabulating-Recording Co. and changed its name to International Business Machines Corporation in 1924. Company description from FinViz.com.
Expected earnings October 17th.
IBM reported revenue of $19.29 billion, down -5% annually and the 21st consecutive quarterly decline. Analysts were expecting $19.49 billion and that was already on the low side. Earnings were $2.97 and beat estimates for $2.74 thanks to a lower tax rate of 9.2%. Full year guidance was reiterated for "at least" $13.80. Several years ago, they made a big deal out of forecasting $20 a year in earnings. That is not likely to happen in this decade. All five of IBM's reporting segments posted revenue declines.
The problem with IBM is the lack of a light at the end of the tunnel. There is no way out of this problem without major changes which could include splitting the company up or going on an acquisition spree. Shares hit $182.50 in February but hopes have now been dashed twice with Q1 and Q2 earnings. The outlook is dim.
If the market were to roll over and the Dow decline materially, IBM would be a leader in that decline. It has been losing ground even when the Dow is setting new highs.
With earnings Oct 17th we can use the Oct options which expire on the 20th. They should hold their premium well.
Update 8/5/17: Wedbush initiated coverage with a neutral rating saying IBM is going to face "structural headwinds" and free cash flow will continue to be consumed by "aggressive M&A." The analyst said the world has moved away from the labor intensive model of IT services with cloud computing and cloud software replacing those IT consultants. Legacy IT services contracts are going to see margins decline due to "pricing resets" and an industry wide "skills mismatch." He said IBM's lack of transparency about its current business models suggests they are lagging the evolution curve.
Update 8/7/17: A judge in Indiana ruled IBM must pay the state $78 million for failing to complete the automation of much of the state's welfare services system. The court case came after the state cancelled the $1.3 billion automation contract because of numerous complaints about long wait times, lost documents and improper rejections. An appeals court found that IBM had committed a material breach of its contract by failing to deliver improvements to the welfare system.
Position 7/31/17:
Long Oct $140 put @ $3.10, see portfolio graphic for stop loss.
PCRX - Pacira Pharmaceuticals - Company Profile
No specific news. Minor decline.
Original Trade Description: August 7th.
Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a specialty pharmaceutical company, develops, manufactures, and commercializes proprietary pharmaceutical products primarily for use in hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers in the United States. It develops pharmaceutical products based on its proprietary DepoFoam drug delivery technology. The company's lead product includes, EXPAREL, a liposome injection of bupivacaine, an amide-type local anesthetic indicated for infiltration into the surgical site to produce postsurgical analgesia. Its development pipeline comprises DepoTranexamic Acid, a long-acting local antifibrinolytic agent, which is in Phase II clinical development for the treatment or prevention of excessive blood loss during surgery by preventing the breakdown of a clot; and DepoMeloxicam, a long-acting non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, which is in preclinical development for the treatment of acute postsurgical pain. Company description from FinViz.com.
Pacira reported a loss last week of 29 cents that missed estimates for 28 cents and was well over the 2 cent loss in the year ago period. Revenue of $70.9 million ros eonly 1.9% and misses estimates for $74 million. Rising revenues for their top product, Exparel, were offset by falling revenues elsewhere. Exparel revenues rose 6.1% but DepoCyte and other product revenues declined -81.1%. Research and development costs rose 10`% and G&A costs rose 9.4%. Revenues slowing and expenses rising are never a good combination.
The company reaffirmed their full year revenue guidance for Exparel in the range of $290-$310 million.
Shares declined to a 6 month low after earnings.
Expected earnings November 3rd.
The optimistic outlook faded in late July when a Phase III trial of Exparel did not produce the desired results in treatment of total knee arthoplasty or TKA. Pacira is trying to expand the uses for Exparel as a way of expanding sales. This was a blow for the stock in July and the weak earnings is causing further declines.
Support is well below at $30.
Position 8/8/17:
Long Sept $35 put @ $1.44, see portfolio graphic for stop loss.
SPY - S&P-500 ETF - ETF Profile
The S&P dropped 13 points in the morning but held over support at 2,465 and rebounded to the flat line at the close.
August has been down 5 of the last 7 years and up only 5 of the last 20 years. If the historical trend is going to appear, I wish it would hurry.
Original Trade Description: July 24th.
• The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust seeks to provide investment results that, before expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the S&P 500 Index (the "Index") The S&P 500 Index is a diversified large cap U.S. index that holds companies across all eleven GICS sectors.
The S&P is marching slowly towards a date with destiny and 2,500. Since the median estimate by the top 16 analysts was a 2,450 yearend price target on the S&P, the arrival at 2,500 could be a tripwire that triggers an August correction. We have not had a 5% drop in a year and it has been 9 months since a 3.5% decline. With earnings rapidly playing out and most of the high profile companies will finish reporting by next Wednesday, I am going to recommend a bearish position for August/September.
I am going to set an entry trigger for a SPY put with the S&P at 2,495. Since aggressive traders normally want to anticipate a particular number, I want to enter the position just before we reach that level.
Update 7/26/17: The Dow was up +100 points, Nasdaq +10, Nasdaq 100 +20 and the S&P only gained 70 cents. The Russell 2000 lost -6 and the S&P-400 lost -15. We may not get to that 2,495 level. I am going to add another trigger/strike in case we get a failure from this level.
Position 7/27/17 with a S&P trade at 2,465:
Long Oct $243 put @ $3.65, see portfolio graphic for stop loss.

There are several types of citrus fruit grown on trees. They can make a great addition to your garden depending on where you live. Citrus trees mainly grow in mild to warm climates. If they can be grown in your area, you will need to provide a bit of extra care if you want them to produce quality fruit.
Orange Trees
Orange trees originated in China and reach heights of 30 feet. They need full sunlight, but can tolerate cool temperatures. Soil should be well draining and kept moist. Freezing weather, however, is not good for the trees and can affect fruit production for the year. The trees provide a pretty white flower in the spring before fruit are produce, and it is at this time that the tree is most susceptible to frost damage. If you can keep the flowers from being damaged, the fruit should be fine.
Lemon Trees
Lemon trees are easy to take care of, and can be grown in the ground or in a container. Soil should be well draining and slightly acidic with enough water to keep it damp. If you are growing the lemon tree inside, remember that height can get around 7 feet for indoor growth. Place in a location that gives them lots of sunshine, and if indoors, bring them outside on warm days so the bugs can help with pollination. Pruning is not needed unless you have an issue with height. If you do need to clip a limb, wait until after fruit production.
Lime Trees
All lime trees produce fruit that when ripe is actually yellow, not green. Key-lime trees grow a lime fruit that is a bit different in taste than a basic lime, and is the only citrus tree that drops the fruit when it is ripe. Some lime trees are not tolerant of cool weather and are best grown in climates that have mild winters. Plant them in full sun with well draining soil that is slightly higher than the ground around it. Give fertilizer every couple of months and water at least every other day to keep the ground damp.

Bhutan Tour
Bhutan is known as 'The Kingdom of Dragon' and the Buddhist Kingdom that may be the last Shangri-La of the world. Bhutan is home to a great concentration of mountains and is a living heritage of Buddhist culture and philosophy. Trekking and tours in Bhutan is only land in the world where Mahayana is the state of religion and accepts only limited tourists.
The culture is deeply Buddhist. Unlike Tibet, the temples and monasteries have not become tourist attractions. The most remarkable feature of Bhutan we can mention here is its view of life. Rather than striving to join the modern world, Bhutan is allowing it to enter only in measured doses, careful to preserve its underlying doctrine of promoting the country's "gross national happiness." It revels in its isolation.
Package trips to Bhutan can be arranged from Nepal with twice a week flights to Paro from Kathmandu.
Featured Trips
Duration: 04 days | Grade: Easy | Region: Thimphu
In Thimphu the capital of Bhutan, we shall show you the Memorial Chorten, the Painting and Wood Craft school where traditional art and craft is still kept alive, and take you on a guided tour of the National Library where ancient manuscripts are preserved.
Duration: 08 days | Grade: Moderate | Region: Paro
As you approach Paro, the view from the left side of our plane will be unforgettable. You will see many of the major peaks of the Himalaya, including Everest, Makalu and Kangchendzonga, three of the world's highest mountains.
Duration: 10 days | Grade: Moderate | Region: Paro
Bhutan often revered as the 'Land of the Peaceful Dragon' is still regarded as one of the last 'Shangrilas" in the Himalayan region because of its remoteness, it's spectacular mountain terrain, varied flora and fauna and its unique ancient Buddhist monasteries.

While we start our internal debates on what the best (and worst) games of 2014 were, we thought it might be fun to also shine the light on some other games that might not make their way on to the GOTY discussion list... but still deserve a nod of some kind.
Over the next couple of weeks, leading up to our official Game of the Year Awards, we're going to be releasing a series of articles themed at noting some of the last years highlights and lowlights, hopefully with a bit of humor.

Q: I hired someone to paint four rooms. He gave me a bill for $1,200, but I remember the estimate as being $1,000. What do we do?
A: To avoid disagreements of this sort, it is advisable to get a written estimate. In this case, however, there is no evidence to resolve the dispute.
Since the painter claims $1,200 and the homeowner admits that he owes $1,000, the homeowner is modeh b'miktzat (i.e., he admits partially to the claim). Therefore, the homeowner must pay the $1,000 that he admits and take a severe oath in court that he does not owe the remaining $200. (SM"A 89:17) However, most batei din nowadays refrain from imposing oaths and encourage reaching a compromise instead.
If the homeowner does not remember clearly whether he agreed to $1,000 or $1,200, he must pay the full sum. This is because he is unable to take the severe oath in which he is obligated. (C.M. 75:13)
However, if the homeowner already paid the $1,000, or is prepared to pay immediately, the nature of the oath is subject to a dispute beyond the scope of this column. (See C.M. 89:4 and Shach 89:10) Furthermore, in this case, if the homeowner does not remember, he cannot be made to pay the extra $200 – but it is meritorious for him to do so. (C.M. 75:9 and Shach 88:36)

My "Start with a Square" TechniqueWednesday, June 9th, 2010
Lindy wrote me recently to ask about my unusual toe-up sock start. I like this method and use it in many of my patterns, although I keep changing it in small ways each time I write it into a new pattern. She saw the photos of my upcoming Summer Striped Socklet pattern and asked this:
A question: I have had some problems with awkwardness using your "rectangular" or "square" toe start to begin a toe-up sock. Any suggestions?
This was my response (edited a bit):
I've taught a lot of people this toe. A few do struggle at the beginning. In my experience, these factors can contribute:
- Dark yarn makes it hard to see where to pick up stitches.
- Splitty yarn and pointy needles combine to frustrate things.
- Some people really benefit from reading glasses for fine work.
- It helps to have excellent lighting when picking up.
Consider trying this first with larger, smooth, light-colored yarn and switch to fingering after you have figured it out. Once you are clear what is supposed to happen, it should be easier on smaller yarn and needles.
For the record, my First-Time Toe-Up Sock pattern uses 8 stitches and 8 rows for the starting rectangle. This means some fudging to get one of those corner stitches in tight quarters.
In my recent patterns starting with this method, I've added a few extra rows in the starting rectangle. This means it is easier to find spots to pick up stitches, but also means there is a little gap where one could pick up one more stitch. The gap disappears after a round or two, but it is bothersome to some knitters. My new striped socklet will have this extra set of rows for wiggle-room in the pick up row.
My best hints:
- Use good, smooth yarn that is spun firmly.
- Use needles that are not super pointy.
- Sit by a window during daytime or a work light otherwise.
- Wear your best glasses (for me that means bifocals) or get some drug store magnifying reading glasses, to see the stitches better.
- If you have a version where there are the same number of rows as stitches, in the starting rectangle/square, add two more rows to give you a little more wiggle-room.
In my experience, there is one single round that is a struggle for some people. It's that one fiddly pick up round. See if this information will help.
For the record, I have used this method for items other than socks. The Topper-Down hat, Buttons & Beads Bowl, and ZigBagZ (mini collection, bottle or sport) all use this start method in slightly different ways.
The first photo today is the Summer Striped Socklet I showed you here a handful of days back (it uses this toe). I finished one, just in time to take photos for an upcoming advertisement on Ravelry.
I wish you could feel this pink/green sock. It's sleek but a bit springy. Bamboo and nylon: On Your Toes Bamboo by SR Kertzer Co., sock/fingering weight. I think this would make an incredible tank top or tee, as well as socks.
The second photo shows my Hot Waves sock, a pattern found in the book "The Joy of Sox." It also uses the start-with-a-square method. What a fun pattern this is!
The final photo is a pair of socks I finished in April 2006. The pattern is my First-Time Toe-Up Socks. The yarn used was Opal fingering weight. They were the 128th pair of socks I knit. (I am up to pair 179, to date.) I still wear this pair rather regularly, they are some of my favorites.

Former President of the Senate, David Mark on Thursday, December 24 2015 urged Nigerians to persevere under the current security and socio-political challenges.
In a press statement signed by Paul Mumeh, the Media Assistant to David Mark called on both Christians and Muslims to embrace one another in the spirit of the season to commemorate the celebration of Chrismas and Eid-Malaud which calls for peace, love, unity and good neighbourliness .
He said " this period calls for sober reflection and a resolve to support the efforts of government to overcome the challenges."
The former Senate President stated these in a message to Nigerians to mark this year's Christmas and Eid-el- Maulud in which he canvassed for citizens to imbibe the true teachings of Jesus Christ and prophet Muhammad(SAW).
He pointed out that the current security, Economic and socio-political challenges facing the nation are surmountable if every one contributes positively towards finding a sustainable solution.
Mark reminded Nigerians not to allow political affiliations undermine national interest saying that irrespective of different political parties .

"We must remember that Nigeria is one nation of a people with a common interest and welfare of citizens remain the ultimate goal," he stated.
He also advocated for positive synergy between the executive and legislative arms of government without compromising their separate constitutional mandates in order to facilitate the delivery of dividends of democracy to the ordinary man.
The former President of the Senate stressed that collaboration between and among the separate arms of government is inevitable because " it makes for a healthy and smooth working relationship for public officers to deliver the goods to the people."
He however counselled that all actions and policies of government must be people- centered in order to achieve the target of uplifting the living standards of the citizens.
Mark in the same token urged citizens to reciprocate government's good intentions by being law abiding and supporting constituted authorities as a needed partnership to promote democracy and bring development.

America's New Working Class Topic of IBC Keynote Speaker Series Wednesday
The first installment of the International Bank of Commerce 2016-2017 Keynote Speaker Series at Texas A&M International University (TAMIU) is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 19 at 7 p.m. in the TAMIU Student Center Ballroom.
Admission is free and open to the public.
There will also be a reception at 6:30 p.m.
The lecture series is presented by the TAMIU A. R. Sanchez, Jr. School of Business Center for the Study of Western Hemispheric Trade and sponsored by IBC Bank.
Featured speaker, Tamara Draut, is author of "Sleeping Giant: How the New Working Class Will Transform America," and vice president of policy and research for Demos, a policy organization focused around issues of equality and the economy and champions of debt-free, public higher education.
"Sleeping Giant" is the first major examination of the new working class—female, racially diverse and employed by the fast food, retail, healthcare and other service industries—and the role it will play in our economic and political future. Blending moving individual narratives, historical background and sophisticated analysis, Draut argues that this newly energized class is far along in the process of changing America for the better.
A member of the executive team at Demos, Draut is responsible for developing and advancing the organization's goals through research, idea generation and policy development. She joined Demos in 2001 and has developed their groundbreaking work on household indebtedness, middle-class insecurity and the economic challenges facing young people.
Her writings and her research have been covered by several newspapers and magazines and she is a frequent television commentator on shows such as the "Colbert Report" and the "Today Show."
Her "Strapped: Why America's 20- and 30-Somethings Can't Get Ahead," was published by Doubleday in 2006.

Possible reason of developer tools being undocked
bass0n last edited by
I noticed that small detail while using Vivaldi, that while loading dev tools, parameter in the end of title bar called dockSide=undocked. If that's the case please make it dockable for all the web developers in the world. Attachments: [img]https://forum.vivaldi.net/uploads/attachments/25298/undocked.png[/img]
No, that's not the reason, it's just so it loads an optimised version for an undocked view.
bass0n last edited by
Can't say how much of optimisation is that, but all the browsers including Chromium that is a base for Vivaldi if I'm not mistaken, have it opening within the same window which is normal and more convenient since it doesn't overlap main window but is a part of it. At least could you please give user choice in that matter?
Vivaldi UI framework is built differently than the other Chromium browsers so it does not inherit this behaviour.
I don't know when this will be looked at.

Scientists have been left scratching their heads after a radioactive cloud of pollution from an unknown source drifted over Europe in late September.
The French nuclear safety institute IRSN said, "it was likely to be in a nuclear fuel treatment site or centre for radioactive medicine."
The cloud is currently deemed "harmless" and although experts have not yet been able to pinpoint where the radioactive pollution came from, the IRSN believes it could have originated in a nuclear facility in Russia or Kazakhstan.
Detection of #Ruthenium 106 in France and in Europe in late September: Results of IRSN's investigations and updated information on the plausibility of the origin of the release https://t.co/Y8uzAxPnpU pic.twitter.com/OP14AjwE5L
— IRSN Radioprotection (@radioprotection) November 9, 2017
The radioactive pollutant in question is said to be "Ruthenium 106", which is described as:
"A hard, silvery-white metal with a shiny surface. An isotope, or variant with a different number of neutrons in its nucleus, used for radiation therapy to treat eye tumours. It is sometimes used as a source of energy, known as radioisotope thermoelectric generators, used to power satellites."
Director for of the IRSN Jean-Marc Peres revealed in a statement, "Russian authorities have said they are not aware of an accident on their territory."
While the health director of the IRSN, Jean-Christophe Gariel clarified that now either Russia or Kazakhs is in charge of identifying where the source came from.
If neither of those authorities can successfully pinpoint the contamination location, the United Nations will intervene.
(image source: Daily Mail)
Gariel said:
"The matter is closed as far as France is concerned. It's not a problem for France, what is not satisfactory is that ruthenium-106 has been detected across Europe and that poses a question.
"We have come up with a plausible zone of where it could have come from; we can't do any more. Russia is a vast country and we're not aware of all the installations on its territory. The ball is now in the other camp.
"I have spoken to my Russian counterparts; these are people we know and they have told me in all honesty they have had no reporting of an accident."
According to the Daily Mail: "A spokeswoman for the Russian Emergencies Ministry said she could not immediately comment."

Author: Rose Marie Boyd
Publisher: AuthorHouse
Two families become as entangled as the title's pasta namesake in post-World War II New Jersey as they try to navigate marriage, births, and even murder. Sprinkled with a reasonable amount of Italian that lends authenticity to the characters, author Rose Marie Boyd's book, The Spaghetti Set: Family Served Italian Style, will make readers smile in places but will also leave those same readers feeling a little rushed. A leisurely European meal this is not.
The book opens on a ship as readers meet Teresa Camara and her brother, Antonio, as they travel from Italy to New Jersey to join their father in the United States. Having left Europe behind several years earlier, Signore Camara finally has sent for his two children and they spend the last of their journey across the ocean talking about the possibilities that life in America holds for them.
In addition to the Camaras, readers meet the Matteo family. The Matteos have settled into life in America, and the Matteo siblings do what they can to stay out of each other's hair while living together: Franco (Frank) and his wife, Geneva; Patrizia (Patricia) and her husband, Jake; Iago (Iggy) and his wife, Anna; Macbetto (Mack); and Giulietta (Juliet.) Heading the Matteo clan is the widowed Signora Matteo, who ignores her children's protests and insists on calling them by their opera-inspired names.
Predictably the two families meet when the Camara brother-and-sister duo, Antonio and Teresa, move into a home not too far from the Matteo residence. A major section of the novel revolves around Teresa and Matteo brother Mack and their love story. Despite a medical condition and an unplanned engagement, Mack doesn't hesitate to advance where his heart takes him and Teresa reciprocates his love.
Another section of the novel offers the subplot of bad boy Iggy and his shady deals. Convinced the easy road will earn him money to keep his debts down and his demanding, nagging wife, Anna, satisfied, Iggy does what he can to earn a quick buck. Eventually, however, Iggy gets in way over his head.
Other subplots focus on the remaining Matteo siblings as well as Teresa's brother, Antonio, and their many trials. While experiencing The Spaghetti Set, readers will feel like they're sitting at a long table with the stereotypical Italian family: everyone talks too loud and no one really hears everything the others are saying.
In the same fashion author Boyd's characters compete with one another for the attention of the readers, and the result is that readers don't get to spend enough time with any one character or pair of characters to develop a bond. The story rushes to get from one major plot highlight to the next without giving readers any downtime or simple narrative to adjust to each twist. The book could have used some deft editing and a more measured pace.
Part of the problem arises in having so many characters, and Boyd's story would definitely have benefited from less "pasta" and more "meat"—less characters and more about each of them. Readers don't know quite who to listen to, and the characters all talk so much that it diminishes the dramatic impact of major events. Boyd also allows her narrative to dominate when she could have let the events and characters tell the story, providing too much "tell" and not enough "show."
Also, her story in places may ring inaccurate when it comes to the historical authenticity of certain things. About halfway through the book in a hospital scene a nurse uses a defibrillator to shock a character. But according to Merriam-Webster online, the first use of a defibrillator occurred 1952, five years after the book's setting. Likewise, a few pages later, a minor character in police custody asserts, "I know my rights!" alluding, readers must assume, to the Miranda rights read to all those accosted by police. But the Miranda rights weren't first used until 1972.
These small facts don't necessarily detract from Boyd's main story, but, again, they provide examples of the need for a good editor or proofreader. Had Boyd allowed her editor to delve deeper into the manuscript, the result would have been a fantastic read. Elements of humor and some symbolism may have readers nodding along and wanting to know what happens with regards to some situations. But the story needs more cohesion and a single final climax, something this reviewer sorely missed.
