nice trailer, and with gaijin screwing up warthunder, you might still have chance with thi oneReplyDeleteReplies
CGI trailers are a thing of the past, so why is WG spitting them out one by one? Promote the game not the skill of your CGI crew, this is getting very tiresomeReplyDeleteReplies
I dont mind cgi. You just need to understand its a marketing asset. Same as gameplay based video even though more abstractDelete
Soft Launch my arse, stuck in the Scandinavian Mud Launch more like!Delete
The only way one can play WoT Blitz is if one pretends to be Scandinavian, what a ruddy Joke!
Been Months now since soft launch, how many more Weeks, Months or Years do we need to wait for Worldwide Launch? Sorry Android Players you should be expecting a very long wait!
I expect the same old answer ……… Soon! Or when next Major Update released, whenever that will be!
Ah! But wait there's to be an announcement on 'WoT Blitz' at some event called 'E3' next week.Delete
Why wait? What's so special about E3, that you can't make the announcement now?
It's been one month only - launched on May 5. Not that long for an open beta / soft launch.Delete
Android is all good if it wasn't for its fragmentation
You could make the Android beta at first available only for Nexus devices. (Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 10 and Nexus 7) Fragmentation problem solved.Delete
I just came home to try it on the NA server and was curious to see how the old P-51A fared(just under 900 players at 7:15 PM EST...not good at all).ReplyDelete
Finer points of the update...
Lead-compensating aim point...it is nice for new players but damned annoying for Alphas and Betas.Should have thought to put in a way to retrograde the thing.
New maps...they have not cycled once since I played..so no comment.
New modules...making the otherwise tedious grind more so. I don't know who was asking for this crap but you guys should ignore them.
New tier VI Premium planes....not a great idea to sell stuff to a already jaded population that is shrinking while other issues remain ignored(new game modes,increasing player base,fixing MM...that skipped the NA server?!!...wtf?!!).If you want a road map on what doing stuff like this will get you...say hello to MechWarrior On-line.No one is going to buy into or invest in a game that for all purposes seems stagnate if not declining.
Cinematic countdown...again who asked for this? It would be nice if you could zoom and take pics of your aircraft like you used to be able to do.
Spectator mode,,,again who decided that this what was needed in the game? This was your priority?
P-51 balance changes..Well I only have the P-51A because there seems little point to go above tier 5-6 on the NA server due to the direction of the game and population. A plane that had already been cut back has now been effectively neutered to the point that one might as well sell it and go back to a P-40. I find this oddly curious that the US P-51 gets de-balled when all of a sudden you have the chance to buy a premium UK P-51A and Russian planes are now out-turning Japanese planes(absolutely worthless now).Bad bad bad idea.
I see this update as neither here nor there and more like slapping a new paint of coat on a rotten shed.You still have some serious problems with this game that were only confirmed to me by Chieftain when in our last meeting I asked him a question about it and got a "Glomar Explorer Breifing" type of answer(seemingly wanting to put as much distance from WoWp as humanly possible...and I can understand why).Replies
I totally agree I revisited to see if the changes were good but I just cant give a good report on it either. I literally hate the gun sounds they still sound like wash boards. Attitude Bans seems to be still an issue with this one as well truth is it need to go. You guys keep making planes unrealistic from what they were historically P51 nerf again you guys get all wrong maybe you guys need to refresh yourselfs on facts.Russian planes now out turn the Japs < this doesnt surprise me.Delete
Rad Y,Delete
more substantial changes to gameplay, including new modes, are in the works. It's not something that is easily done. Prototyping right now, which doesn't involve the entire team and doesn't mean we should stop doing anything else, including putting out new planes.
The biggest problem that these substantial changes are going to face is...who will be around to see them.If things keep heading the way they are...you might be able to deliver the game that everyone always wanted but I fear it may be a day late and a dollar short. People see the odd prioritization of "updates" coming down the pike and are just throwing there hands up in the air and leaving.I really hoped to be able to try out the new patch last night but the population just wasn't there to make it even feasible. I log in at 7pm EST...barely 900 people on....I come back at 11pm EST and now a whopping 950 people even Tier 3 matches were less than half full.Delete
I expect the weekend to be much of the same as the inept WG NA team has yet another lackluster event...most will be doing the D-Day special at WoT.
I am still barely holding out for this one(I am the last player left of the 37 I came into Closed Beta with)...but in the end you have to look at the cold hard facts.
For some reason I started playing more WoWP just a few days ago. What I found:ReplyDelete
a) The individual contribution is less than in WoT. If you are lucky your team forms a lemming train that kills everything in its path. Otherwise the enemy does it and no matter how good you fly, you get killed fast
-> Any chance to find some mechanisms that enables more tactical options than just lemming train?
b) Not all control options seem to be equal. Now and then I see people doing things with their plane that I don't think are possible with keyboard + mouse. The advantage this gives to a good player is significant if he can avoid getting killed by superior numbers.
-> Any chance to make all options equal or am I doing it wrong?
c) Ground attack planes seem to be useful, if the team is able to use them (most often it is not... ) by using them as bait or to gain superiority.
-> good development
So overall I think the game is nice and develops in the right direction. But I am not sure how you want to keep this up in the long run with the low number of players.Replies
@Any chance to find some mechanisms that enables more tactical options than just lemming train?@Delete
by all means it's not an easy fix. Player education is the key here. It's smth we are not really good at, however will be doing more attempts.
-> Any chance to make all options equal or am I doing it wrong?
Stat-wise different controls are balanced, ie for the majority of players. Expert players can achieve more using joysticks, which is ok.
NA players will expect WoT Blitz to be released in...............?ReplyDelete
Will beta testers that are Canadian get the Ram ll or maybe the T14 cause we count(what you think) as USA? Will we get something else entirely different? T34?Replies
I just got an idea that it would maybe be cool if we had sort of a free roam cam after we get killed? To watch the scene of planes fighting would be kinda cool for me.. like a move.. hell like that whole your trailer!ReplyDelete
Also to have an option to swiftly jump over to any location we want to observe, like ctrl+click on the map to jump to area
What do you think?
Overlord mate, can you please tell me the name of the song?ReplyDelete
OVerlord, please tell me the WoWP UI will mimic (completely) the WoT one...ReplyDelete
I find it hard to use. True, it is superior to War Thunder's UI, which is so bad that I will have to start using bannable language to describe it, but it is currently much inferior to the near perfect UI of WoT.Replies
Or you just get used to WoT UI that much?Delete
It is just faster to use. I have obviously gotten used to WoT, but I do know how to use the WoWP one too.Delete
I just always measure how good a UI is by how fast and logical it is to use. For an example, WT is pathetic, Mass Effect 1 is pathetic, Skyrim is bad and WoT and Call of Pripyat are Excellent. WoWP is above average.
It is considered that wot ui is not novice friendly. In wowp we attempted to create so called layered ui to cater for both newbies and veterans. Didnt exactly work out.Delete
I disagree, one of the reasons why I played WoT in Early Closed beta was the good UI. It made learning it easy and intuitive.Delete
The game DOES need an actual tutorial though.
Yup, it does.Delete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
Overlord, any word on the Asia server for WoWP? It's been nearly 7 months and I'm still having to cope with 400+ ping playing on NA server. Gaijin has already established their own server in Singapore. =(ReplyDelete
mr Overlord,ReplyDelete
I was discussing 'community' with a friend who plays LoL. He claims that LoL's community is the most toxic of all MMOs (Dota2 being the best), I of course provided ample samples from WoT ("best" stuff comes from the test server). So we started arguing and later searching for reasons behind this phenomena. Do you think it is a problem that MMO developer has to address via incentives&punishments? Do you think better tutorials would lessen the amount of newbie mistakes which often are the cause of aggravation? Or even better - does WG consider it a problem that players are leaving not because of the technical state of the game but because the bullsh!t that flows? Or perhaps you dont consider it an issue at all...?

Getting in shape isn't easy, so I can't say that I blame them for exploring their options, but why go down these bizarre paths?

If fear were tangible,
something far more formidable than thick clouds,
if it didn't seem to flee from every breeze,
would I listen?
Would I find that fighting against what I want,
what I know will make me miserably happy,
would become a fight I don't want to win?
Except that I do.
I want to fight, I want to dig in my heels and bang my fists against the wall.
I want to forget about everything I've worked for before this.
I want to find myself tied and tangled and strapped down
so that I have no other choice,
no options to turn back toward clarity.
It makes no sense, not even to me,
but I want to take everything I have shining and new,
and I want to cover it with the mud, muck, and mire.
I want that.

WATCH: RNC Launches First MS-13 Ad Featuring Nancy Pelosi, And It's Absolutely Savage
Pelosi deserves this.
The very moment House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi came out and more or less defended the MS-13 gang after President Trump referred to the vicious group of psychopaths as "animals," the Democratic Party knew it was going to have problems, especially since this is a very important election year.
Well, the Republican National Committee has released its first advertisement using the whole debacle from Pelosi as ammunition for driving folks away from voting Democrat this election season.
Which isn't too lofty of a goal considering the California Democrat defended a gang whose motto happens to be "Kill, Rape, Control."

Trending: AOC May Have Committed 'Major Ethics Violation' After Startling Discovery Uncovered
The MS-13 fiasco began with the media falsely reporting on President Trump's condemnation of the notorious gang as "animals," which the media distorted to be a condemnation of all illegal immigrants, despite the transcripts of the incident clearly showing that was not his intent. Even after the Associated Press and a few other outlets publicly admitted to misreported his comments, several Democratic leaders continued to claim disingenuously that Trump was "dehumanizing" all illegal immigrants.
The unfortunate star of the ad is none other than Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, whose "spark of divinity" lecture directed at Donald Trump earned instant infamy. Here's the key excerpt from Pelosi's defense of all "undocumented immigrants," which includes murderous MS-13 members:
We believe — some of us who are attracted to the political arena, to government and public service — that we are all God's children, there is a spark of divinity among every person on earth, and that we all have to recognize that as we respect the dignity and worth of every person and as we recognize our responsibilities with that spark of divinity within us. And so when the president of the United States says about undocumented immigrants, "These aren't people, these are animals," you have to wonder, does he not believe in the spark of divinity, the dignity and worth of every person?
Using Pelosi's self-serving rant as its focal point, the RNC released the following ad on Facebook Tuesday:
This, ladies and gentlemen, is going to severely hurt Democrats right where it matters most: the polls.
Stupid comments like the ones made by Pelosi are the price one pays for placing politics and agenda over human decency, a move that Democrats have repeated over and over with disastrous consequences, proving they are out of touch with the average American voter.
It seems they have no plans of learning from their mistakes, which means it's imperative that conservative candidates seize on these opportunities to expose progressive ideology for what it is.

BOMBSHELL: Anti-Semitic Dem Represents 'Terrorist Recruitment Capital' of U.S. [Report]
Hey, MSM! Check this out…
Freshman Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar represents Minnesota's fifth district.
A new report claims it is the "terrorist recruitment capital" of the United States of America.
As if Omar wasn't dealing with enough at the moment, given her anti-Semitic leanings.
Check out Fox News's headline:
From Fox News:
More men and boys from a Somali American community in Minneapolis have joined – or attempted to join – a foreign terrorist organization over the last 12 years than any other jurisdiction in the country.
FBI stats show 45 Somalis left to join the ranks of either the Somalia-based Islamic insurgency al-Shabab, or the Iraq- and Syria-based ISIS combined. And as of 2018, a dozen more had been arrested with the intention of leaving to support ISIS. Both numbers are far higher than those of alleged terrorist wannabes who left or attempted to leave the country from other areas in the country where Muslim refugees have been resettled.
With by far the largest Somali American population in the United States – estimates of up to 100,000 – the insular ethnic community in Minnesota offers a rich recruiting ground. Investigators told Fox News that early on, al-Shabab recruiting was almost exclusively word-of-mouth. One family connection to a contact in the terrorist group would be pulled in as a recruit, in a process that was repeated as the ranks of the al-Shabab grew.

— Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) February 10, 2019
Omar blamed the United States of America for a terrorist attack in Africa that left 70 people dead.
200 others were injured.
Imagine if Omar was a Republican.
There would be pandemonium and she'd be called to resign.
Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar once described acts of terrorism as a reaction to "our involvement in other people's affairs," in the wake of the brutal al-Shabab attack on a Kenyan shopping mall in 2013.
Omar made the comments during an obscure local television appearance just weeks after four armed al-Shabab jihadists stormed the Westgate mall in Nairobi in 2013, killing nearly 70 people and wounding 200.
Host Ahmed Tharwat: "When are we gonna decide or realize that terrorism is a reaction? It's an ideology, it's a means of things, it's not an entity, it's not a place, people. It's a reaction to a situation."
Omar: "Yes. What you're insinuating is what nobody wants to face. Nobody wants to face how the actions of the other people that are involved in the world have contributed to the rise of the radicalization and the rise of terrorist acts."
Omar: "Usually most people want to not look internal and see what their actions that makes another react. For us, it's always 'I must have not done anything. Why is it happening to me?' Nobody wants to take accountability of how these are byproducts of the actions of our involvement in other people's affairs."
WATCH (start at the 11:35 mark):
Omar showed no shame after responding to a series of tweets from journalist Glenn Greenwald.
GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy threatens punishment for @IlhanMN and @RashidaTlaib over their criticisms of Israel. It's stunning how much time US political leaders spend defending a foreign nation even if it means attacking free speech rights of Americans https://t.co/It1fGm1b70
— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) February 10, 2019
Equating @IlhanMN & @RashidaTlaib's criticism of Israel to Steve King's long defense of white supremacy is obscene (McCarthy said it's worse). In the US, we're allowed to criticize our own government: certainly foreign governments. The GOP House Leader's priorities are warped.
— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) February 10, 2019
Sorry, but you're not going to turn the two first Muslim women to serve in the US Congress into overnight Jew-haters because of their criticisms of Israel. What's actually anti-Semitic is conflating the Government of Israel with Jews, so those of you doing that should stop.
— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) February 11, 2019
Enter Omar with the anti-Semitic stereotype:
It's all about the Benjamins baby 🎶 https://t.co/KatcXJnZLV
— Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) February 10, 2019
If not immediately obvious, here's the problem with her tweet:
"It's all about the Benjamins baby," Rep. Omar said, a reference to Jewish people and money. A typical antisemitic stereotype.
Omar then retweeted a "hook-nosed" tweet:
@IlhanMN retweeted this comment in response to her "Benjamins" tweet. (She's since deleted it.) pic.twitter.com/kT0VVdOnqS
— Brandon Conradis (@BConradis) February 11, 2019
Congresswoman, do you not realize what you're saying here or do you not care? https://t.co/fh8a1OWhhz https://t.co/jcCvQuWXdC
— Yashar Ali 🐘 (@yashar) February 11, 2019
Defending Israel from antisemites is "all about the Benjamins"? Really? It's about money?
Another antisemitic trope for @Ilhan Omar? She's like an antisemitic pinball machine that spits out old canards as the ball bounces around her brain.
She's the gift that keeps on giving! https://t.co/w5HWhLqyWd
— Dov Hikind (@HikindDov) February 11, 2019
This is really disappointing, Congresswoman.
It makes me incredibly proud to see you in Congress. I believe you are a good person. Attempts to silence you are shocking and un-American.
But I'm starting to lose faith given your uses of anti-Semitic tropes. Please do better.

You are an anti-Semite.

CONFIRMED: Nigerian Brothers Admit Smollett Paid Them to Stage 'Hate Crime' [Details]
Game over. Jussie Smollett lied to the entire nation.
It was planned.
It was rehearsed.
It was nothing more than a cry for attention.
"Empire" actor Jussie Smollett thought he'd get away with staging a hate crime, probably due to how the media would attempt to cover for him throughout the process.
He was wrong.
From CBS News:
The two Nigerian brothers arrested in connection with the assault on "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett are no longer suspects in the attack. They're now cooperating with police.
A source close to the investigation confirms to CBS News the brothers told detectives Smollett paid them to participate in the alleged attack on January 29 and that they purchased the rope — which was found around Smollett's neck — at a nearby hardware store. The source said detectives have evidence to corroborate the sale, something the men's attorney alluded to Friday night.
Smollett has not spoken publicly about the arrest and subsequent release of the two brothers. Earlier this week, Chicago police said Smollett was still being treated as a victim, not a suspect.
Donald Trump Jr. weighed in:
They actually REHEARSED it so they could create the most outrage and stoke as much hate as possible?!? Terrible.
Jussie Smollett Case: Brothers Questioned By Police Were Paid $3,500 To Stage Attack, Which Was Rehearsed Days Before, CBS Chicago https://t.co/oX3W19Epub
— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) February 17, 2019
Chicago has around 3x the murders of NYC, and a PD less than half the size.
People need to understand just how egregious @JussieSmollett taking a dozen detectives off those crimes to waste time on his hoax was.
He must be prosecuted. #JussieSmollettHoax
— John Cardillo (@johncardillo) February 17, 2019
Cory Booker originally called the "attack" a "modern day lynching."
Now, he's singing a drastically different tune.
Sen. @CoryBooker wouldn't comment on latest #JussieSmollett developments, instead pivoting to right-wing attacks and white supremacy. pic.twitter.com/wlhdoz1E4f
— Andy Ngo (@MrAndyNgo) February 17, 2019
Smollett even reimbursed the brothers for buying the "noose" that "went around his neck."

— Steve Lookner (@lookner) February 17, 2019
Originally, the report was that Smollett was attacked by two men who yelled, "This is MAGA country."
Smollett also told authorities that his attackers were white.
Not long after, Smollett's neighbors doubted his story and ABC Chicago said Smollett may have staged the attack.
On Smollett's neighbors, via New York Post:
CHICAGO — Nearly two weeks after "Empire" star Jussie Smollett claimed he was the victim of a racist, homophobic attack, cops have yet to identify any suspects — and some people in his tony Chicago neighborhood are growing skeptical.
"I've been in this neighborhood five years. I don't believe it, not around here … Half the people are gay and the other half are black."
From ABC Chicago, who noted that Smollett staged the attack with the help of others because he was being written off the show.
From ABC 7:
Multiple sources have told ABC7 Eyewitness News that police are investigating whether Smollett and the two men staged the attack allegedly because Smollett was being written off of "Empire."
ABC's Robin Roberts interviewed Smollett, where he proceeded to stick to the lie.
Jussie said he was baffled that people didn't believe him. Apparently, he's just not that good of an actor, huh?
If Smollett was being written off the show prior to this insane "hate crime," what will happen to him now?
Will social justice warriors voice their support? Will he maybe get his own spinoff?
How about Smollett pays for his crime and serves his time? That seems like the most appropriate response.
Don't hold your breath waiting for lefties to say they were sorry for jumping on the Jussie bandwagon, though.
They'll hold strong togetther and attempt to steer the conversation toward "racism in America." They'll make it seem as if Smollett is the true victim.
Count on it.

How a farm credit provider connected with a new generation
Connecting with a changing generation of consumers can be challenging. When your core constituents are farmers, the tactics and strategies you use to engage an audience spread across remote parts of the country adds a new layer of complexity to getting your message out and heard. This was the challenge Lake One helped AgStar Financial Services tackle.
AgStar Financial Services is an $8 Billion Farm Credit provider serving 67 counties in Minnesota and Northwest Wisconsin. As Farms across their service area began transitioning to a younger generation of owners and operators, AgStar needed a new way to connect, engage and communicate with a younger, farm demographic.
The Plan
AgStar's executive team wanted to take a learn, plan and execute approach. So Lake One was first commissioned to provide a custom, onsite workshop for AgStar's 12 Member Executive Board.
The workshop was tailored to AgStars questions: how has technology changed the way consumers interact with brands, what are other financial firms doing, what are other farm credit providers doing, what can we learn from other industries and what should our immediate next steps be.
Following the workshop, Lake One continued as a strategic partner as we moved forward an "AgStar as Publisher" strategy. Our goal was to position AgStar as a publish of rich content relevant to AgStar's core constituent, farmers, on multiple levels. The financing, operation and daily life of farming in America. We wanted AgStar to be seen as an advocate, the storyteller behind what's taking place on Midwest Farms.
"Not only did Lake One help us achieve our goals during our digital planning, they made our team look good in the process!"
– Terry Fast Sr. Communications Specialist AgStar Financial Services
Lake One provided research and insight into the audience, content ideas, blog structure, guidance on blog development, internal content production workflows and provided support as AgStar launched the initial version of AgStar Edge.
One of the core features of the blog was thematic elements focusing on industry topics like commodities or issues including ongoing features like the Hog Blog or chronicling the role of Women in Agriculture.
In the first month after launching, AgStar saw a 240% increase in traffic to their original content, a 350% jump in organic search and continues to advance a thoughtleader position as an advocate for Rural America and Farming culture.

New Zealand's largest all-weather Glacier Centre and Indoor Ice Climbing Wall at Franz Josef has opened its doors!
The only one of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere and one of only 7 in the world, the Hukawai ice climbing wall is a unique 'must see' for all visitors to the West Coast region of the South Island.
The centre offers a unique, all weather opportunity to surround yourself with the sights and sounds of our spectacular glacier region.
"Hukawai Glacier Centre and Indoor Ice climbing wall will bring new life and energy to Franz Josef on the West Coast" - Canterbury and southern today – April 07
Click here to see what the Sydney Morning Herald had to say about us.
Winter time on the coast is full of sunny, clear and cold days. It is the best time to enjoy the spectacular scenery and reap the benefits of the icy cold nights. A short walk from one of the local huts is a unique formation for this area, a frozen waterfall. A few of the Hukawai instructors entered this area to have a blast on the walls and found that its not only glacial ice that makes this a great ice climbing area.

"Dragon Wizard" by S. Andrew Swann is a fun and wacky story with plenty of odd occurrences and tongue-in-cheek humor. The role reversal and gender swapping that results in Frank Blackthorne occupying his princess wife's body and her residing in a dragon is mind-boggling to begin with, but when even more magic is conjured, things get delightfully complicated.
I loved the oddity of this story and had no trouble getting involved with these characters despite not having read the previous books in the series, and I was laughing out loud at the descriptions of the attempts at moving a body that was under the control of two different consciousnesses not used to working in concert with each other. There are vivid characterizations and a fun mix of action and slapstick, even though there is a thread of evil and viciousness that provides impetus for the adventures. I think this was a very entertaining and exciting tale, and was fascinated at the dexterity with which the author conveyed the different voices located in atypical hosts.
Grab this book if you are a fan of fantasy quests with a twist, and enjoy the adventure!
This fantasy novel is the third in a set of books that follow the princess of Lendowyn and the thief who has captured her heart. Princess Frank and Lucille the dragon are about to celebrate their anniversary with pomp and pageantry when a guest sabotages the festival and causes yet another body swap. Unfortunately, things have not improved, and now time is running out for the kingdom of Lendowyn and maybe even for the entire human race, while Frank and Lucille are forced to learn how to work even closer with each other and maybe with a trickster god as well.
It has been a year since former thief Frank Blackthorne became Princess of Lendowyn and married a dragon. He's coming to terms with his new life, but during the royal anniversary banquet, an elven prince reads a scroll of evil magic and Frank's world is turned upside-down. Again.
The scroll's spell causes a murderous rampage in a palace full of noble dignitaries, so it's no surprise Frank's visitors are angry. The Elf-King Timoras threatens war but Frank can't do anything about it: because of the same bit of scroll magic, the ex-Dragon Lucille has taken over the princess's body, unaware that Frank is still there, locked in her skull. And worst of all, the fate of everyone may soon rest on the shoulders of the man responsible for the whole mess, someone who should be safely dead...

Scam Alert: Keep Your Credit Card Info Safe While Traveling This Summer
Did you know summertime is prime time for credit card scams? Due to the rise in travel during the summer months, consumers are more vulnerable to fraud. Just recently, Consumer Reports found that 19.5 million consumers had charges placed on a credit card by an unauthorized person. A June 2012 report from Javelin Strategy & Research found that credit card fraud has increased an alarming 87 percent since 2010. The result has been a cumulative total loss of approximately $6 billion, reports Retail Info Systems News.
Here are some credit card safety tips:
- Call your credit card company and let them know you are traveling and where. You don't want your card frozen due to suspicious activity while you're in Jamaica. Also if charges are made elsewhere, they will be on alert.
- Before you go, make sure the customer service number is usable overseas. If not, ask the issuer for a number you can use while out of the country.
- Don't carry a lot of cards with you. Black America Web (BAW) advises, taking just two cards max. Before you travel make a photocopy of all your identification and leave it in a safe place at home.
- Don't check your credit card balance or bank information on a strange computer. You cannot be sure your personal and financial information won't be pulled off. Even using your laptop overseas to pay for things online may cause a problem because your issuer will take note that the transactions is being made out of the country.
- Don't be a victim of "skimming." According to BAW, skimming is when crooks use a concealed spy camera or an electronic device to record your card number and secret PIN code, and then drain your checking account reports Black America Web. Don't use sketchy standalone ATMs and cover your your pin while entering it.
- Be wary of contactless cards. Contactless cards are equipped with an embedded radio chip, and that radio frequency identification, or RFID, that allows cardholders to simply hold their credit or debit cards in front of a card reader to complete a transaction, explains BAW. While this is more convenient, it means you don't need to hand to a sales clerk who in other cases with check your signature and in some cases ask for additional ID. To check if you have a contactless card, look for one of the "contactless" RFID logos: Chase Bank's is Blink, Visa uses payWave, MasterCard has PayPass, Discover calls it Zip, and American Express's is named ExpressPay. There's also the universal "wireless" symbol: a triangle of nested arcs.
On top of everything else, BAW says there is a free Android app that can be used to read credit card information from a nearby card even if it's not visible. If true, this means anyone with a smartphone can read card information without getting close, even through wallets, pockets and purses. While we're at it, be careful about using your Android phone to make online payments. According to Forbes, hackers recently demonstrated they can use an Android app that can wirelessly steal credit cards' data.
Of course, you should be closely monitoring your account activity online.

Next-generation Lexus IS spy shots – Click above for high-res image gallery
Much like the larger GS sedan that we recently spied, Lexus is apparently working on a substantial overhaul for its smaller rear-drive IS, as well.
Though still in early test mule stages, the next IS is expected to ride on a shorter version of the GS platform, which could give it a slightly wider stance than the car currently on the road. Expect the usual sedan and convertible variants to be on hand, as well as a forthcoming IS coupe set to battle the BMW 3 Series and upcoming Mercedes-Benz C-class two-door.
The reworked IS sedan will likely bow sometime in 2012 and the coupe is pegged to arrive shortly thereafter with the usual V6 powertrains as well as an eventual high-performance F variant in at least one bodystyle. The only question we have is, will a force-fed four powerplant also join the party?

Hanging it Up
Folks, I've decided to no longer keep this blog going. I've had a lot of fun sharing my thoughts over the last two years. My general outlook on equity markets (bearish) and precious metals (bullish) is still firm as ever. There will be a time in the future (3 years? 5 years?) where gold and silver run their course and equities bottom, but that time is not now. Thank you to all that have read and commented.
A bevy of gold and silver miners are printing 52-week highs today. I believe this is significant because miners tend to lead the physical metals. This, in turn, suggests that gold and silver are probably close to their next legs higher. As I've said before, the intermediate and, arguably, the long-term trend has turned in the bull's favor. Don't try and outsmart the market by trading all of the day-to-day noise. Sit tight and be right. This move will play out for months and probably years.
Gold, Silver, Miners, and More
Once again I'm sorry for the lack of posts recently. I've been out of town and away from a computer. To be honest, there wasn't a whole lot of action in the metals or the equities as most of the movement while I was gone fell into the "noise" category if you know what I mean. Well, at least until yesterday that is.
Two very important dates are now behind us: July 26 (Comex gold expiration) and July 27 (FOMC announcement). First, Comex gold expiration has always been a "play thing" of the bullion banks. Prices tend to get pegged or massaged in the days and weeks leading up to expiration based on max pain levels in the options markets. Very rarely do the metals rally into expiration. For that reason alone, I wasn't surprised to see gold and silver drift down in uninspiring trade. Keep in mind also that Silver trades on the heels of gold, just in a more volatile fashion. As gold goes, so does silver.
The second date, July 27 (yesterday), was the usual FOMC day where gold and silver get smashed the moment the announcement is made (the first reaction is literally always lower, regardless of the statement). FOMC days are a cluster and I would never recommend trying to trade an announcement. After the initial smash lower, there tends to be huge volatility in both directions. So it is likely that you will get whipsawed out of a position based on knee-jerk reaction trading. Also, it usually takes a day or two for the metals to settle down after the announcement.
So now that those two days are behind us, there really aren't any more wild cards in that I'm seeing in the short-term which should bode well for the PM sector. That said, let's take a look at some charts and see what's going on.
After reaching a new 52- week high of $1377 on July 6, gold has pulled back in a fairly orderly fashion on innocuous volume. Each of the last three pullbacks has now established a nice upward-sloping trend line, shown above. Yesterday, after the FOMC announcement (and the usual knee-jerk smash), gold reversed higher and jumped off that trend line, leaving a decent gap on the chart. Technically speaking, it's great for the bulls that the trend line acted as support once again. Don't be surprised if gold corrects a bit to fill that gap, but I think this chart is very supportive of a continued move higher.
Silver, to me anyway, is painting a much cleaner chart than gold. After printing a new 52-week high on July 3, just above $21, it too began to correct on light volume. For the next three weeks, it painted a beautiful pennant consolidation pattern (shown above). Yesterday it exploded higher in a no-doubt bullish breakout. I would put a conservative price target of $23.00 on the current advance based on the size and duration of the pennant formation. I'll explore the longer-term charts in a future post to see what that means in the big picture. But for now, the daily chart looks awfully bullish.
Moving on the miners, they too saw a healthy bounce yesterday post-FOMC. As you can see above, the 50 dma has been providing support for several months now. As a result, I would continue to expect this going forward. If you're looking for an entry point, waiting for a pullback to this level makes sense. Aside from a brief blip in May, the RSI mid-line has acted as support for the last six months so keep an eye on this as well if you're looking to get in. Overall, I really like the action in GDX. It's been grinding higher all year, with brief, shallow pullbacks along the way. I see nothing bearish on this chart.
Last but not least, I wanted to share the daily chart of Platinum - the much less talked about precious metal. I tweeted about this yesterday, so this chart may look familiar if you follow me. Talk about a beautiful cup-with-handle formation! Everything on this chart is working in the bull's favor. From the tight price action, to volume increases at exactly the right times, to yesterday's breakout - very, very nice. I don't post on Platinum too often, but the chart was so compelling that I wanted to show it.
That's all for today folks. Thanks so much for reading!
With the Dow Jones Industrial Average making new all-time-never-before-seen-highs, I thought a look at the Dow Theory as an acid test for the validity of the rally might be worthwhile.
For a brief bit of background, I'm going to paste a few lines from Wikipedia for those that aren't familiar with Charles Dow or the Dow Theory as it's known today:
The Dow theory on stock price movement is a form of technical analysis that includes some aspects of sector rotation. The theory was derived from 255 Wall Street Journal editorials written by Charles H. Dow (1851-1902), journalist, founder and first editor of The Wall Street Journal and co-founder of Dow Jones and Company. Following Dow's death, William Peter Hamilton, Robert Rhea and E. George Schaefer organized and collectively represented Dow theory, based on Dow's editorials. Dow himself never used the term Dow theory nor presented it as a trading system.
The Dow Theory can be boiled down to six basic points on stock market movements, each of which is summarized nicely on the Wikipedia page linked above. I'm going to focus on two of the points specifically for this post:
Let's take a look at the charts and see what they're telling us:
The DJIA rallied almost 9% over the last three weeks, ultimately breaking above it's previous all-time high set back in May 2015. From a Dow Theory perspective, the price action seen above is undoubtedly bullish. While price a huge determinant of primary market trends, there are other factors to consider, such as volume. As stated in the second bullet above, bull markets should see volume that is heavier on market advances than on corrections. Well, that's exactly the opposite of what's taking place. The DJIA broke out on absolutely paltry volume last week. In fact, volume was less than half of what it was during several weeks in early 2016 when the average was falling. This is non-confirmation red flag #1.
Now let's look at the Dow Jones Transportation Average:
This is a three-year weekly chart just like the DJIA chart above. Here is your non-confirmation red flag #2. The DJTA isn't even close to making a new high. In fact, it hasn't even made an intermediate higher high as it's still trading below it's high from April. No doubt the chart is showing a potential bottoming pattern, but at this point it's still solidly in a downtrend. Volume has been decent these last few weeks, but still below the volume seen during the declines in late 2015 and early 2016.
I understand that the Dow Theory was developed over a century ago when the U.S. was a manufacturing powerhouse - back when this country actually made things. Industrials and Rails were the Googles and Facebooks of their time. So some may argue that looking at the DJIA and DJTA as indicators is an obsolete practice. Perhaps. But I would argue that 100 years of evidence argues otherwise. The bottom line is that for this bull market to succeed, volume better accompanying rallies and the DJTA better get its act together, and soon.
Regular readers know that I prefer to focus on longer-term charts since I'm not a trader. I think daily charts reflect too much noise and oftentimes give false signals. Weekly and monthly charts filter out a lot of that stuff and do a better job at showing more meaningful trends.
With that in mind, today's post will be annotated monthly charts of gold and silver. The gold chart, shown above on a log scale, is sooooooo close to definitively breaking out to the upside. Rallies in June and July have stopped precisely at the line of resistance originating from its 2011 peak. The monthly MACD and RSI have both undeniably turned higher after a brutal couple of years. In fact, the RSI has just pushed above the midline (bullish) for the first time since 2013. Volume has been increasing on the rallies which is what bulls want to see. The final nail in the bear market coffin will come when Gold can manage a monthly close above that descending blue trendline. If and when that happens, it has a clear shot, from a charting standpoint, at recapturing its 2011 highs.
[It's worth noting that if you plot the same chart above using a linear scale instead of a log scale, gold has already broken above that descending line of resistance.]
Moving on to silver, you can see that it's bottoming process is a bit more advanced that gold's. It has no doubt broken above its long-term line of resistance. It even backtested the line in May only to explode higher the following month. Bulls couldn't ask for a better chart formation. Similar to Gold, Silver's momentum indicators are moving higher in unison. The MACD has now printed a bullish cross-over signaling that the long-term momentum has shifted in the bull's favor.
From a support and resistance standpoint, Silver has already cleared the biggest hurdle now that it's overcome the long-term resistance on the chart. I'm seeing a bit of congestion in the low $20s and then again in the low $30s. Both areas will likely act as intermediate resistance but nothing too major.
All in all, both metals are painting a very bullish technical picture. Throw in some extremely strong fundamental arguments for higher prices, and we have a winning combination.
And just for fun, I'll leave you with this 50 year chart of Silver..........
On May 16, I pointed out some gorgeous basing patterns shaping up in the bond market. Every duration I looked at was sporting a bullish setup. Almost two months have now gone by and I think it's safe to say that the bull scenario has in fact played out.
Today I'm going to provide a quick update on bond prices, focusing specifically on TLT, the 20 year treasury ETF. You can see above that TLT recently broke out of a very well-defined cup-with-handle setup on very nice volume. The last couple weeks have been a bit "gappy" with all of the Brexit uncertainty so I wouldn't be surprised to see it retrace back to the breakout point before moving higher again. Regardless, the trend is your friend, and right now the trend is unquestionably higher.
Looking at the long-term chart shows just how strong treasuries have been for the past 15 years. Even with stocks in a 7-year bull market ("officially"), TLT has powered higher, not once putting in a lower low on a correction. In fact, its MACD and RSI have never been oversold on the monthly chart. Now that is some serious long-term strength.
With price roaring higher these past few weeks, it's starting to bump up against its long-term line of resistance. As such I would expect a little pullback - or at least sideways action - sometime in the near future. By no means, however, do I expect a serious correction, much less a bear market, any time soon. As for the reason why, I direct you to the next chart.
Here I'm plotting the ratio of TLT to SPY, or bonds vs. equities. The ratio falls when equities outperform treasuries and it rises when treasuries outperform equities. As you can see above, TLT:SPY definitively broke above a well-defined downtrend that had been in place since 2009. And for the past four years it has been carving out a nice rounded bottom pattern suggesting that the tide is turning even more heavily in favor of bonds.
So what does this mean? It means that investors are buying bonds more aggressively than equities, which begs the question: "Why?" Well for starters, there is over $8 Trillion in negative-yielding sovereign debt floating around out there so the fact that U.S. Treasuries offer a positive yield makes them a no-brainer relatively speaking. Second, as Brexit has demonstrated, world financial markets are in a very precarious situation. Or as John Hussman put it, Brexit and the Bubble in Search of a Pin. Markets dislike uncertainty, so when there's literally nothing but uncertainty hanging around (US elections, negative rates, Brexit, etc), money is going to flee risk assets (most stocks) and flood into safe havens like defensive stocks, gold, and yes, Treasuries. In essence, you're seeing the double-whammy effect of yield-seeking investors and risk-fleeing investors all pouring money into the same asset class: US Treasuries. The effect, obviously, is higher prices and lower yields. That, in a nutshell, is why I believe bond prices will continue marching higher for at least the rest of 2016 and potentially many years thereafter.
Almost one year ago, I posted that the XAU:Gold ratio hit a fresh all-time low. The XAU gold miners index has been around for over 30 years, so when you see it touching 30-year lows against gold, there's probably an opportunity. If you bought the miners any time in the 2nd half of 2015, then you're likely enjoying some amazing gains.
Today I'm going to take a look at a bunch of individual mining stocks. I didn't pick these for any particular reason - you could basically pick miners at random and the charts all look the same (ie: bullish). Will they see a pullback? Yes. When? I have no idea. Right now the charts are suggesting very nice upside before any serious resistance comes into play so you might have to keep waiting for that pullback.
This is another post where I'm going to let the charts do the talking. I'm seeing extremely bullish formations across the commodities complex. While it's taken longer than I ever expected, the Fed's easy money policies of the past 8 years are finally starting to manifest themselves in commodity prices. I don't care if demand is falling off a cliff (which it is in many areas), when you print $Billions ($Trillions?) that money has got to go somewhere.
First I'll look at the precious metals, including Platinum and Palladium:
And now moving on some big-time industrial commodities:
And lastly, Copper has slowly started to turn things around. I assure you this due to central bank policies and NOT a sudden upswing in demand.
The major U.S. stock indices are all sporting a common characteristic: bearish MACD crosses on the weekly chart. If you're a bull, this is exactly the opposite of what you'd like to see. Weekly MACD crosses, either bullish or bearish, are a sign that the trend has changed on an intermediate term basis. In this case, the trend has turned bearish, helped in large part by the Brexit vote. Today's bounce is nothing more than a relief rally considering many of the major indices lost 5-10% in the previous two trading days.
Below are weekly charts of some of the big indices with prior bearish MACD crosses noted. Once again I ask the question: Will this time be different?
I have to be honest - I did not think Brexit had a chance. Apparently Wall Street didn't either because trading on Friday was a disaster for equity markets around the world, with banks taking a particularly hard beating. There was a very clear flight to safety with defensive sectors like Utilities and precious metals outperforming. Speaking of precious metals, gold, silver, and the miners had a terrific day as you will see below.
The tide is turning folks. Equity markets, depending on how one measures valuation, are at or near all-time highs. Earnings have been declining for months and yet stocks continued to march higher (at least until yesterday). Precious metals have been bottoming for over a year as both fundamentals and technicals continue to tilt in the bull's favor. In my post from Wednesday I commented, "I feel like there is going to be a huge move soon, possibly in [both equities and precious metals], but I have no idea which direction it will be." Well, I think Brexit has given us the answer.
Today's post will be chart-heavy with annotations and a few comments smattered about. My takeaway from Friday is nothing more than a confirmation of what I've been saying for over a year: equity markets are topping and precious metals are bottoming - it's time to position yourself accordingly.
First up is a look at the S&P 500 daily and weekly charts. Friday did a ton of damage to the bullish thesis. If the 7-year bull market is still intact, it's going to be a long, hard slog to repair what has happened in a single trading session. 2100 has become a very clear line of resistance - just check out the weekly chart to see what I mean.
And on to the Nasdaq. Same story, different index. Down 4% in a single day with massive volume to boot.
And a quick peek at Financials. Lots of room to fall to that lower line of support.
I specifically wanted to show you a couple charts of our old friend Deutsche Bank. It's now trading just pennies away from all-time lows. The word FUBAR comes to mind...
Now we head to the stars of Friday's show: precious metals and miners. First, we start with gold.
And now a look at gold's more volatile sibling, silver. Silver's move on Friday stopped right at big-time resistance. Look back at 2013 and 2014 and you'll see that $18.50 provided support for a long time. Once that level was breached in September 2014, it became resistance with lots of overhead supply sitting on top. Also, I would like to note the curious lack of volume on Friday. Not sure what it means, if anything. Overall, silver continues to paint a very bullish picture on the charts.
The gold miners continue to look good as well.
I'm going to end with the WTF chart of the day. Take a look at the FTSE weekly chart. If you're not familiar with it, the FTSE is a share index of the 100 companies listed on the London Stock Exchange with the highest market capitalization. In other words, it's very similar to the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Did you know that after Friday's bloodbath the FTSE still gained 2% on the week?

Neptune: Bath Salts From The Dead SeaReviewing: Fantasy Bath Neptune Bath Salts | Rating:
Dead Sea Salts have been medically researched and proven to contain significant amounts of vital trace nutrients. When used as a bath soak, they have helped millions of people worldwide, who suffer from joint diseases, skin ailments and just sheer fatigue. People visit the Dead Sea every year to avail themselves of the relief these mineral enriched waters provide them.
But you don't have to travel to get the benefits from them. Fantasy Bath has a big range of these wonderfully soothing, relaxing bath salts available online. Each one carries one of their distinctive unique fragrances. Or, if you don't want a scented bath salt, they offer them unscented.
Last night, after a very long day and every joint in my body aching, I ran a hot tub filled with Neptune bath salts. As I watched the tub fill, the water turned an exquisite deep blue and the relaxing scent filled the room. Stepping into the tub I was pleased to feel how silky the water felt and noticed there were no undissolved grains under my feet. After soaking for an hour, I could feel the tension leaving my body and the joint pains were eased significantly.
The scent to both myself and my boys was very close in nature to Ralph Lauren's Polo Sport or Safari. We all loved it's crisp clean refreshing fragrance. I love bubbles and this one bubbled perfectly for me. If you want, for a small added charge, they'll double your bubbles, which would make this perfect for bathing together with someone you love:)
If you want super moisturizing in your bath water, you can drop in one of Clover's delectable Bath Melts. These are adorably boxed to look like a candy wrapped in foil. You simply unwrap your Melt and drop it into your warmed water. It is delicious! The added layer of fragrance sends you off to bed smelling delicious and feeling utterly relaxed. Mom's don't have many ways to treat themselves to those rare little moments of indulgence.

[156] [COVER REVEAL + GIVEAWAY] Working It Out by Rachel Renee Anderson
Author Rachael Renee Anderson
Rachael Anderson is the author of four books: Divinely Designed, Luck of the Draw, Minor Adjustments, and The Reluctant Bachelorette. She's the mother of four and is pretty good at breaking up fights, or at least sending guilty parties to their rooms. She can't sing, doesn't dance, and despises tragedies. But she recently figured out how yeast works and can now make homemade bread, which she is really good at eating.
Working It Out
A chance encounter . . .
Grace Warren's life is safe and predictable—exactly the way she likes it. But when she gets roped into going to an auction to help out a friend, everything changes. She meets Seth Tuttle—a guy who unexpectedly kisses her then disappears, leaving her flustered and upset. If she never sees him again, it will be too soon.
A chance for love . . .
Weeks later, when Seth limps into Grace's rehab clinic post surgery, she immediately recognizes him. Unfortunately, he's every bit as frustrating and annoying as she remembered. Yet there's something about him that makes her second-guess her carefully placed boundaries even though he's everything she's sure she doesn't want in a man. But maybe Seth is exactly what Grace has needed all along—assuming she's willing to risk safe and predictable for a chance at love.

Scenery Images of Amazing Boston in Massachusetts
Looking at scenery images, we well recognize that Boston is a great the capital in United States of America. It is most populous city associated with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and it is also the seat of Suffolk County. It was county government that was disbanded on July 1, 1999. Note that the city is stretched 48 square miles or 124 km2. The city had population about 667,137 in 2015, including it the largest city in New England. It is the 23rd most populous city in the United States, and it is the economic and cultural anchor of a substantially larger metropolitan area known as Greater Boston, a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA).
Based in a census, it was estimated 4.7 million people in 2014 and became the tenth-largest such area in the country. Moreover, if we make a Combined Statistical Area (CSA), this region is home to some 8.1 million people. In short, this city becomes a ranking the sixth-largest as such in the United States.

We teach English as a second language to families and individuals; both adults and children!
When you become a volunteer tutor, you will help change someone's life. You will also change your own life by having the personal satisfaction and pride in seeing someone learn English.
Become a Tutor
LVCC tutors are the backbone of the organization. We would not be where we are today, helping hundreds of people in CollierCounty learn English, without tutors. We need more people to teach English to new immigrants and low literate adults. LVCC has two different types of tutors. Those that want to tutor Family Literacy programs such as Children and Parents Reading Together (CPRT), and those that want to tutor adults. Training programs have been built for each type of tutor. Potential tutors may request the tutor training that fits the type of volunteering they want to perform.
It's easy to join LVCC as a tutor volunteer. Here's all you need to do and know:
- Be a high school graduate.
- Have a desire to help someone else learn to read, write, speak and understand English.
- Devote two or three hours a week to your student.
- Pass a background check
That's it! You do not need to be proficient in a foreign language nor have a teaching background. All that is required is that you attend an 11-hour workshop consisting of an orientation session and three (3) three-hour sessions. The workshops are held at our offices at: 8833 Tamiami Trail East, Naples, Florida 34113 (LelyPlaza).
Our tutor trainers give you the information and guidance you will need to become a tutor. The workshops are fun and interesting and prepare you to work effectively with students of all ages and backgrounds. The tutor curriculum includes topics such as working with adult learners, learning styles of non-native speakers, the reading and writing process, vocabulary, lesson planning, goal setting, cultural differences, etc.
There is a one time fee of $30 to cover the cost of the books and workbooks that are distributed at the time of the training.
Unlike a traditional teaching environment where the teacher decides what the class will learn, tutoring is student-focused. Tutors will meet with the student and discuss his or her goals and objectives and create lesson plans to help meet those goals.
At the end of the training period, tutors receive a Pro-Literacy Tutor Certification and are matched with a student. Tutors and students are paired based on information given to us about the preferred days, timeframes, and locations for both parties. Tutors and students usually meet once or twice a week in our offices or in a public place such as a library, a community building, a mall, and so forth.
Tutors are assigned a mentor to answer questions and support them in their new role. About five weeks after the workshop ends, there is a follow up session for the new tutors. The LVCC staff is always available to help tutors at any time to make this a positive and beneficial experience. For more information about becoming a volunteer tutor call the Program Director at 239 262-4448 Ext. 304.

In 2000, the United Nations created a list of 8 Millennium Development Goals to help promote economic growth and development among developing countries. One of these goals is to combat HIV/AIDS by stopping and reversing its spread and providing universal access to drugs for those infected. While this is definitely a worthwhile goal, why is it included among a list of targets to support growth? Well it turns out, that the impact of HIV/AIDS on the economy can be substantial.
The first immediate effect of HIV is a drop in household productivity as the working members of the household succumb to the disease. One study by UNAIDS estimated that household production could drop anywhere between 30%-60% due to an AIDS death in the family. Another study from the Ivory Coast examined what implications this could have on other aspects of the families' lives. It was estimated that "families with a member sick from AIDS cut spending on their children's education in half and reduced food consumption by about 40 percent as they struggled to cover health expenditures that soared to four times their usual level." Unfortunately this leads to a vicious cycle as these countries are often already experiencing higher malnutrition rates and lower education levels.
Individual companies will be affected by high levels of HIV as well. Not only will the actual amount of workers decline due to more AIDS deaths, but their quality of work will also decline due to ill-health and increased absenteeism. Companies will incur direct costs in order to hire and train new workers. Additionally, due to an inexperienced work force, productivity will decrease and the potential for accidents will increase. Finally, as AIDS deaths increase in number, employees will experience a loss of morale and labor cohesion.
These losses in household and company productivity have important implications for the national economy. One important indicator for development is domestic savings and investment. Households that are able to save money are better able to start their own business or finance their education in the future. Additionally, companies that invest in new plants or equipment can grow at a faster rate. However, with high levels of HIV, households are forced to spend more money on healthcare and companies have less to invest due to higher costs and lower productivity. As a result, the country experiences a much lower rate of growth.
Government expenditures will also be affected by HIV. Tax revenues will drop as companies and households are earning less money. At the same time, the government will be increasing health expenditures to help those affected by AIDS. With less revenues being generated and a higher percentage being spent on healthcare, government programs to promote infrastructure and growth will diminish in quantity and quality.
Economists have developed models that predict the growth domestic product (GDP) both with and without HIV/AIDS. Most of these models indicate a rather small drop, on the order of 0.5% to 1% per year. While this may seem small, when this drop is compounded over many years, the impacts can be substantial. One study estimated that due to HIV's extensive impact on the economy, expenditures on HIV prevention would be 17 times more effective at promoting development than similar expenditures on capital investment. As a result, slowing the spread of HIV and treating those with AIDS will be an integral part of any development plan.
This is Ben Young, thanks for listening.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — TIBCO Software Inc. (Nasdaq: TIBX) today announced the successful enterprise-wide deployment of the first composite application based on TIBCO's SOA software at Qatar-based Doha Securities Market (DSM). This first application provides DSM investors a portal with a single, personalised access point to information and services for increased transparency.
"Effective use of advanced IT infrastructure has long been a key component of DSM's IT strategy, and the implementation of an Enterprise Portal supported by TIBCO's SOA infrastructure is a logical progression," said Mohsin Mujtaba, consultant, Markets Integration and Technology at DSM. "We are in a unique position in the regional securities market, and TIBCO's technology allows us to provide high-quality exchange services and manage high volumes. The use of web services through the portal allowed us to handle 10 times more transactions in the clearing settlement and depository system during a recent GCC-wide listing. We are providing a real-time streaming stock quote service to our end-users through the web, with unrivalled speed and delivery in the region."
With TIBCO software, DSM is able to minimise risk and improve productivity by automating complex business processes and procedures to help ensure the execution of transactions with greater speed and accuracy. The recent deployment delivers an infrastructure that supports DSM's need to achieve straight-through processing. Often a mix of processes and applications impedes efficiency. TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks(TM), TIBCO PortalBuilder(TM) and TIBCO Enterprise Messaging(TM) software make it faster and easier for DSM to realise the benefits of integrated applications and reusable services in a service-oriented environment. DSM can easily add, configure or modify composite applications based on the changing needs of their customers.
DSM required a web-based, enterprise-wide portal solution to support an environment for business-to-business, business-to-customer, business-to-employee and business-to-government activities. Using TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks and TIBCO PortalBuilder, DSM seamlessly integrated its back-end infrastructure applications including Electronic Trading Platform & C/SDR systems, with its front-end transaction systems to create a personalised e-Marketplace with multiple channels. This new portal forms the basis for delivering e-Commerce services and products to its users. DSM also provides easy access to brokers and banks with virtual transaction and settlements services, live stock quotes, market trends and analytics.
"Any factor that favourably differentiates one company from another is vital to promoting customer loyalty and long-term success," said Fabio Pulidori, senior vice president for EMEA at TIBCO. "TIBCO worked closely with DSM to help support its rapid growth and change with SOA. The result was increased business performance and agility from the automation of business processes, simplified access to information, and the ability to more quickly implement and change applications."

Port knocking and listening on a high numbered non-standard port. make it harder for an attacker to even start trying to hack your connection. But this also requires you connect with a machine that you have the knock program installed on. Again, less convenient, more secure.
However, once an attacker does find your port there's nothing to stop brute force password hacking. If you look in your log file, you should see people connecting to your ssh port quite frequently and trying password attacks.
cat /var/log/auth.log
If you have a secure password then it would require days of brute force hacking to gain access to your ssh account, but even so, if you don't watch your logs then it's perfectly possible somebody will gain access eventually.
Brute force attacks can be limited using fail2ban. There's a great article on setting it up here. This program will scan your auth.log for you, using a regular expression to find failed password attempts. On a specified number of failures from a given IP, it will then modify the iptables on your machine (the firewall), to lock that IP out for a specified time.
Now instead of watching your auth.log fill up with reams of failed passwords, you'll see a greatly reduced amount of brute force attacks, and you can watch your fail2ban log file fill up with the IP addresses of hackers.
