Hey everybody, I am off to Washington, DC tomorrow for President's Day weekend. I love the nation's capitol a little more with every visit. It is especially meaningful to be there for American-specific holidays. I was there last year for Memorial Day.
I am taking the Boltbus and am first going to visit the Smithsonian's National Postal Museum, which is conveniently across the street from Union Station. The NPM has an exhibit of Lincoln certified plate proofs that I have wanted to see for awhile. Their website says its closing in "Summer 2012," which doesn't leave much wiggle room if one is trying to plan ahead. I have not been to the NPM in about seven years. Also on the agenda is the Corcoran Gallery of Art for the Shadows of History: Photographs of the Civil War from the Collection of Julia J. Norrell. It is not all Civil War. The real reason for the trip is to see my niece for the first time. Her three month birthday will be tomorrow.
If you live in the Big Apple, or are here for the weekend, remember that President's Day is a Holiday Monday at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Last month I wrote about my visit to the New American Wing on the day of its re-opening after a four year renovation. Among other treasures in the maginficent new galleries are numerous works by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. When I visited last month I saw his Standing Lincoln. As it turns out this was a recent purchase by the Met, who announced the new acquisition on Lincoln's Birthday this past Sunday. Something tells me Harold Holzer had a hand in this. Thankfully.
If you are looking to read the book on Lincoln as depicted in bronze and stone check out James Percoco's Summers with Lincoln: Looking for the Man in the Monuments, which I bought at the National Gallery of Art the day after I proposed to my wife in a Washington hotel room.
An added bonus of the visiting the Met would be the chance to see the Romare Bearden exhibit, which I am going to scramble to catch before it closes on March 4.
Whatever you choose to do, have a safe and enjoyable weekend.

John Brennan is terrified after William Barr launched one investigation to destroy him
Since the election of President Trump, former CIA Director John Brennan has made it his life's mission to destroy President Trump.
He regularly takes to his Twitter account to accuse Trump of treason.
But now he's terrified after William Barr launched one investigation to destroy him.
William Barr is dedicated to getting to the bottom of the fake Russia Collusion Scandal.
That's why he has U.S. Attorney John Durham investigating the origins of the investigation witch hunt.
And Brennan, for the first time, commented on the investigation, stating that he is "concerned" about it.
The Washington Examiner reports:
Former CIA Director John Brennan said he is "concerned" about the Justice Department's review of the origins of the Russia investigation.
The "investigation into the investigators" has been underway since the spring, and reports this week showed Attorney General William Barr has taken a more expansive role in it than previously known, pressing foreign leaders to cooperate with the DOJ.
During an interview Wednesday, Brennan said he is "supposedly" going to be interviewed by John Durham, the U.S. attorney tasked with leading the review. Brennan said by all accounts Durham is a man of "integrity" but added Barr has proven himself to be the "president's attorney."
"Given that Barr is now accompanying Durham on these things, it really makes me think that the hand of politics and of Trump are now being used to massage what this ongoing review quasi-investigation is. So I am concerned," Brennan said on MSNBC.
Brennan has good reason to be worried about the outcome of this investigation.
Former Rep. Trey Gowdy has hinted that Brennan will be implicated for wrongdoing in the investigation, urging Durham to look into emails between Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey.
He believes those emails will prove that both Brennan and Comey did not see Christopher Steele, the former British Spy who compiled the infamous Trump-Russia dossier, as a credible figure.
Despite that, Steele's dossier was used as the primary piece of evidence to obtain FISA surveillance warrants against Trump officials, and to eventually form Robert Mueller's special counsel.

When I posted a deliberately over the top rant about last wek's court case in which a leftie judge who knows less about law than he does about agenda driven politics ruled it was illegal to say prayers before concil meetings I was prompted largely by the nauseatingly smug gloating from supporters of the National Secular Society who hailed this non event as a great victory in the war against "religion, superstition and magical thinking."
If there is one thing more repellent than a bunch of smug religionists it is a bunch of smug, secularist twats who cannot see they are turning secularism into a religion.
Well I will get around to writing an existentialist rebuttal of the "Secuarism as religion" cult's crackpot world view sometime (and if you think existentialism is a secular philosophy try reading Soren Kirkegadd or Ludwig Wittgenstein), but for now here's a link to an excellent article on the topic by Jennifer Lipman who as the better informed among you might have guessed is Jewish, though by her own definition something of a part time Jew.
She bases her arguement on the fact that nobody is forced to pray and not all religion is fundamentalist.
It is easy to exercise one's right not to pray. If I can't make an excuse to be not present, family weddings, funerals and such like, I simply don't join in.
When I was a young knobhead (all young men are knobheads) I used to make a great show of not joining in but maturity taught me there is nothing to be gained by embarrassing everybody else. Sometimes we have to put the feelings of others ahead of our own.
It is not just religion I try to be a non participant in. When I worked for the National Nuclear Corporation in the early 1980s and had been part of the team that designed and implemented high tech systems for a new office complex we were told we would be meeting Princess Anne at the official opening.
A few days ahead of the ceremony I managed to find a very urgent reason to be at a nuclear power station a couple of hundred miles away on the day.
It's just pointless to make waves when there is nothing to be gained.

Big and beautiful Rio is ready for a second chance at a new life! This handsome former stray is a kind and gentle soul. Rio is independent and although he gets along well with the other cats here at the shelter, he prefers to stick to himself and will often retreat back to his condo for an early nap. Rio likes to gently have his head and neck scratched, especially when he is relaxing on a soft blanket or cat bed. In a new home, Rio will probably like to have an area to call his own but we think this friendly guy will love to soak up attention from kind, new guardians.

This month is all about Halloween (in our heads, at least) so we couldn't be more excited about all the scary hair tutorials out there! One of our favorite Halloween hairstyles has to be the Bride of Frankenstein look. It's big, it has grey bits and it's so much fun to both style and wear!
Top tip - You may as well start any Halloween hairstyle without shampooing first because, for most of them, you'll need to use a deep conditioner to detangle your mane the next day anyway.
How to style it
Step 1
At the crown of your head, braid a piece of hair, then lay it in a circle and pin it around your crown to secure it. Over the top of the braid, pin a large bun maker insert, securing it onto the braid.
Step 2
Spray the loose hair liberally with L'Oréal Paris Advanced Hairstyle BOOST IT High Lift Creation Spray.
Step 3
Curl all of your hair with a 1 1/4" iron, then, when each piece comes off the iron, spray it again and tease with a comb to mess it up. After that, go ahead and pin each curled section over the bun maker.
Step 4
Keep curling, spraying and pinning until the insert has been covered, then pile the remaining ends over the top and pin those down, too.
Step 5
Take a piece of hair on each side of your face and curl it, then spray with a white color spray. This will create the grey streaks that make this look so recognizable. Once you're happy with the color, pin them along the sides, arranging them in a defined squiggle.
Step 6
Spray your hair all over one last time with Advanced Hairstyle BOOST IT High Lift Creation Spray and you're all set!

As Alex Wayne first reported last night, the Obama administration is sliding back next year's open enrollment period by one month. Open enrollment will begin on Nov. 15 rather than Oct. 15, shifting it exactly 11 days after the 2014 elections.
There's also a policy story. One longstanding complaint from insurers has been they'd have to set rates for 2015 by the start of April. With open enrollment ending on March 31, it'd be really difficult to know how sick of a group they got--and how they should factor that into next year's rates. What this decision also does, then is shift the deadline back from April to May for when insurance companies need to file their rates. That gives them an extra month to crunch the numbers on who bought their products.
This, then, begs a question: Does a delay in the insurance filing deadline necessitate a delay in the open enrollment period? You could imagine a world where insurers file their rates in May and the marketplace still opens in October, leaving about a six-month period for rate review.
The other important policy angle here has to do with a possible extension of this year's open enrollment period. If the administration wanted to extend open enrollment past March 31 and into April, that would be a whole lot easier to do if rates weren't due until after April. The administration hasn't done that yet, but it could be seen as cracking a door open to that possibility.

Last July, Dr. Carmine Mellone, an endoscopy physician who is very well known in Val di Chiana, joined the medical team of UPMC Institute for Health Chianciano Terme. Graduated in Medicine and Surgery at the University of Florence in 1978, Dr. Mellone then specialized in Gastroenterology and Digestive Endoscopy at the University of Perugia, and in Emergency General Surgery and Emergency Medicine at the University of Siena, where he also specialized in Surgery of the Digestive System and Surgical Digestive Endoscopy. Since 1980, he has been working with digestive endoscopy at the former health care center Val di Chiana Sud. He was a regional councilor of the Italian Society of Digestive Endoscopy, and has participated in several national and international conferences, also as a speaker. Dr. Mellone has published numerous scientific works on surgery and gastroenterology.
In just three months, Dr. Mellone has performed 100 endoscopy procedures at UPMC Institute for Health, taking advantage of the operating rooms and highly advanced technologies available at the Institute. Many patients who have undergone gastroscopy and colonoscopy procedures with Dr. Mellone have expressed their full satisfaction with his professionalism and dedication. The UPMC Institute for Health digestive endoscopy program is part of the prevention programs provided by UPMC in Italy. Colon-rectum and gastrointestinal cancer prevention are a significant part of UPMC care and research, and are available in all its centers in Italy (IRCCS ISMETT, UPMC Salvator Mundi International Hospital, UPMC Hillman Cancer Center at San Pietro FBF. and UPMC Hillman Cancer Center at Villa Maria).

'Pruitt Is the Swamp. Drain It.' Fox News's Laura Ingraham Really Wants Trump's EPA Head to Go
The criticism against EPA administrator Scott Pruitt is piling up.
Just a day after a Washington Post report said Pruitt had pushed aides to help him find a six-figure job for his wife and CNN reported that he had asked Trump to fire Attorney General Jeff Sessions and put him in his place—among other revelations, Fox news host and Trump supporter Laura Ingraham added her own voice to the growing condemnation of the administrator.
On Tuesday, Ingraham tweeted, "Pruitt is the swamp. Drain it."
While Ingraham has been a staunch and consistent supporter of the Trump administration more broadly, her criticism of Pruitt is nothing new.
The host had already called for Pruitt's firing in mid-June, tweeting, "PRUITT BAD JUDGMENT HURTING @POTUS, GOTTA GO: Pruitt had aide, GOP donors help wife find job: report."
That earlier tweet came in response to another Washington Post report that detailed Pruitt's attempt to find a job for his wife through donors.
The scandals surrounding Pruitt are plentiful—including lavish spending on office furniture, a soundproof booth, first-class flights, and now pushing his assistants to pay for his hotel reservations with their personal credit cards.
And Ingraham is not the only prominent conservative who has called for Pruitt's firing: several Senators, including Jim Inhofe, Charles Grassley, and Joni Ernst have railed against the EPA administrator. In early June, Sen. Ernst similarly referred to Pruitt's 'swampiness,' saying that he is "about as swampy as you get" in D.C., and calling on Trump to "look at his own Cabinet" if he "wants to drain the swamp."
Thus far, however, President Trump has remained publicly supportive of Pruitt.

- Typonine
A typeface is a tone of voice, an utterance that lingers on a page. Like speech, it exhibits qualities that differentiate it from others. Those qualities also suggest ways that its features can be parlayed in the service of typographic precision. Typonine does exactly that with Marlene High, its brand new series of display fonts.
While Marlene High maintains the brisk and resolute features of Marlene, its elder relative, it amplifies the already striking features of that Modern series. Its wispy hairline serifs, large x-height, true italics, and taut, squarish curves save space; its high contrast, its rectangular hooks and finials make for warm, enthralling headlines that rival the best industrial faces of yore. High also exaggerates an existing feature to great effect: alternating wedge and hairline serifs in its uppercase and small capital letters. Like its low-contrast yet thundering and diaphanous coequal, Marlene Display, High stands on its own as a competent and eminently useful addition to an outstanding anthology.

Deuteronomy 4:29 - Finding God. Deuteronomy 4:29 (KJV) ... Seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. Deuteronomy 4:29 (NCV) ... Look for the LORD your God, and you will find him if you look for him with your whole being. DEVOTIONAL PEARL Israel's falling away and exile were foretold long before it happened. God knew when He made His covenant with the Israelites that they would not be able to keep it. Moses presents the consequences as an if/then proposition - as though their apostasy is a hypothetical possibility at any given point in history - but the wording implies that it's going to happen. Unaided, human nature tends to rebel. Even so, God gives a sweeping promise in the midst of Moses' warning. In the place of exile - in our times of deepest, darkest alienation from Him - a desperation - induced search for Him will be rewarded. Though He hides Himself from casual or proud observers, His purpose is always to be found by those whose hearts are ready for Him. A chastened, humble soul is perfectly primed for the Presence. And God obliges as though all offenses have been forgotten. If this is God's reward for the rebellious who have rejected Him and then turned back, imagine how He responds to those who already belong to Him, already follow, and want to seek Him at a deeper level. If He is willing to bring close those who have strayed, He certainly brings close those who are already there. But those who are far away are aware of their need to seek Him; those who are in a good relationship with Him often don't realize how much better the relationship can be if they press in even further. Awaken to the opportunity of coming even closer - of seeking the One you might think you've already found. However familiar you are with Him, He invites an even greater familiarity. Always seek it. Lord, how do I seek You? My heart is turned toward You. I'm grateful for Your Presence, but I want more. Let me find You in new and deeper ways today. [The One Year Experiencing God's Presence Devotional by Chris Tiegreen] DEEPER STUDY: Do you want to know God? God promised the Israelites that they would find him when they searched with all their hearts and souls. God is knowable and wants to be known--but we have to want to know him. Acts of service and worship must be accompanied by sincere devotion of the heart. As Hebrews 11:6 says, "Anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." God will reward those who pursue a relationship with him. [Life Application SB] So often we feel that God isn't present in our lives. But it's not because he doesn't want to be there. Maybe it's because we haven't made a place for him inside of us. We are so filled up with our addictions and compulsive activity that we leave no room for God. Reading the Bible, praying and serving Him help us start creating a place for God. [Recovery Devotional Bible mod] If you will seek the Lord and be converted every day; ... all your murmurings will be stilled, all your difficulties will be removed, all the perplexing problems that now confront you will be solved. MB101 The whole heart must be yielded to God, or the change can never be wrought in us by which we are to be restored to His likeness. By nature we are alienated from God. The Holy Spirit describes our condition in such words as these: "Dead in trespasses and sins;" "the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint;" "no soundness in it." We are held fast in the snare of Satan, "taken captive by him at his will." God desires to heal us, to set us free. But since this requires an entire transformation, a renewing of our whole nature, we must yield ourselves wholly to Him. SC43 A union with Christ by living faith is enduring; every other union must perish. Christ first chose us, paying an infinite price for our redemption; and the true believer chooses Christ as first and last and best in everything. But this union costs us something. It is a union of utter dependence, to be entered into by a proud being. All who form this union must feel their need of the atoning blood of Christ. They must have a change of heart. They must submit their own will to the will of God. There will be a struggle with outward and internal obstacles. There must be a painful work of detachment as well as a work of attachment. Pride, selfishness, vanity, worldliness--sin in all its forms--must be overcome if we would enter into a union with Christ. The reason why many find the Christian life so deplorably hard, why they are so fickle, so variable, is that they try to attach themselves to Christ without first detaching themselves from these cherished idols. After the union with Christ has been formed, it can be preserved only by earnest prayer and untiring effort. We must resist, we must deny, we must conquer self. Through the grace of Christ, by courage, by faith, by watchfulness, we may gain the victory. 5T231 CONCLUDING THOUGHT: In the midst of playing baseball in the backyard, Jim's six-year-old son's best friend, and next door neighbor, came out of his house. "Dad, can I go play with Brad?" he asked. "But son, we're playing baseball. Don't you want to play with me?" Jim asked, not really wanting to hear the answer he knew was coming. "Nah, I'd rather play with Brad," his son replied, all too honestly. Jim had a rival for his son's affection, and he was a six-year-old. As he struggled with that thought, knowing that he'd better get a handle on it because it was only going to escalate, he suddenly was reminded that God felt the same way about him. He jealously desires our affection and attention as well. It breaks his heart when we show more interest in cars, sports, newspapers, television, yard work, hobbies, books, and family activities than we do in reading his word and prayer. It saddens him when we are more committed to serving ourselves and pursuing our own interests than we are in serving him. If God were to examine your heart today, what rivals for his attention would he find? Remember! Idolatry makes anything but God the highest priority in life.

In the movies, pistol silencers are usually associated with spies and villains with a classic 'pew pew' report when fired. In reality, paired with the right subsonic ammunition, this category of suppressor can turn your favorite handgun into a relatively quiet lead slinger. In the ninth day installment of TFB Christmas, I am also including silencers designed for submachine guns and pistol caliber carbines.
When shopping for your new un-noise maker, make sure to include your the proper attachement system/mount. Like forgetting to buy batteries for little Jimmy's new remote control car, you may be disappointed when you (eventually) get to go play with your new toy.
Did I miss something? Send it to the comments section below.
Pistol Silencers
Dead Air Wolf SD –
Old school styling combined with new technology. The Wolf-9SD is what your 9mm subgun has been missing. The solid welded core is built to withstand the abuse of full auto fire and keep going for years of service. Extreme silence is epitomized in the long configuration, or unscrew the removable front module and embrace the thrill of making your subgun more compact.
The Wolf-9SD features a removable front module for full length and compact configuration, and is compatible with Ghost and Pyro Pistol Comp accessories.
CGS/ZEV Kraken –
ZEV Technologies and CGS Suppressors LLC teamed up to design and produce the lightest, quietest, and most versatile 9mm handgun suppressor currently available. The ZEV/CGS Kraken has a shielded baffle stack comprised of 7075 T6 Aluminum that has been Type III Hard Anodized to Military Specifications.
Rugged Obsidian 9 –
ADAPT™ Modular Technology
ADAPT™ Modular Technology allows the Obsidian 9 to be configured in a standard 7.8″ or short 4.85″ configuration within seconds.
Dual Taper Lock™ Mounting System
Patented quick detach mounting system ensures wobble free firing. We strategically place the engraving on the thickest cross section of the 17-4 stainless steel mount for fast and easy replacement should the suppressor become damaged beyond repair it also serves to make the Obsidian infinitely upgradable in the future.
Non-Slotted Piston Design
A common problem with pistol caliber suppressors is the gas blowback associated with slotted pistons. The Obsidian 9's non-slotted piston system solves this issue by creating a full circumference gas seal.
Material Selection at its Finest
Constructed of aluminum and 17-4 PH Stainless Steel, the Obsidian is completely user serviceable and Belt Fed Rated for 9mm and subsonic 300BLK.
Gemtech Lunar 45 – $799
The GEMTECH Lunar-45 is the pinnacle of silencer innovation. We have created the lightest and quietest modular 45 caliber suppressor available that is able to be completely taken apart and cleaned. The Lunar-45 is crafted from military grade aluminum and titanium for the utmost in durability and strength. GEMTECH offers a variety of mounting options for the Lunar-45, allowing it to be used on a variety of platforms and calibers. The Innovation, Accuracy and Quality is what makes GEMTECH the Professional's Choice for Decades.
Bowers Vers 45 and ASP 45
This silencer is also suitable for 9mm and subsonic .30 caliber applications such as the .300 Whisper and .300 Blackout. It is 11.25" overall and 1 3⁄4" diameter. It is strong and light, weighing approximately 18 oz. (varies depending on the selected insert). The matte anodizing is applied over a tumbled finish.
The Bowers Group Vers 45 features the proven AIMS™ Adapter Integrating Mount System, which comes with one Versadapt™ thread adapter of your choice. Additional inserts may be ordered separately.
Please consider the purchase of a Griptastic™/SUPCOV™ high-temp insulating silicone silencer cover for use with this silencer. Any of our 1.75" diameter covers are appropriate for the Vers 45. Model GT1.75X10.5 will provide full coverage.
The ASP is 1.5" in diameter by 7" long, and as such is one of the smallest .45 pistol silencers offered. Weighing a scant 5 ounces, everything but the insert is aluminum to keep weight to an absolute minimum. The finish is tumbled and matte anodized.
This silencer will provide excellent performance on the HK USP Tactical and MK23 SOCOM, on standard-length 1911 variants, some Sigs, the occasional carbine and even Beretta 92Fs. The ASP is intended to cycle on .45 ACP pistols using full powered ammunition and 230 grain bullets. We recommend the brass cased CCI Blazer ammo as a budget conscious full-powered round. The can will continue to perform well using weaker rounds and calibers, but the firearm will not cycle in most cases due to a lack of sufficient recoil being generated by the round.
Freedom Munitions Hush 9mm
Avg Vel: 870 – 9mm HUSH suppressed 125.8dB. This ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, in reloadable brass cases. Affordability, accuracy and reliability are built into each HUSH subsonic round we manufacture. Every round of HUSH is proudly loaded …

A combination of 17-4 stainless steel, titanium, and anodized 7075 aluminum materials in all the right places ensures rugged reliability and minimum weight.
*Weight and length will vary with various attachments (piston/spring, fixed mounts, 3-lug)
Surefire Masterfire Holster – $169
The revolutionary SureFire MASTERFIRE® Rapid Deploy Holster (RDH) is a lightweight, durable holster that provides a tactical advantage with its ergonomic, one-of-a-kind design. It securely holds most any railed handgun equipped with a SureFire H-Series WeaponLight, positioning it at an advantageous angle for a fast, consistent draw stroke. A proprietary lug-and-cam system locks the firearm in place with Level 3 retention, utilizing both a primary and secondary locking system, which is released by an ergonomic thumb-break for rapid weapon deployment. The holster's open design also accommodates most any red-dot optics and/or suppressor.
Unlike most holsters, the MASTERFIRE RDH interfaces with the WeaponLight, not the firearm,—so you can use one holster for multiple handguns. But what truly sets this remarkable holster apart is its unique light-activation switch, which can be set to automatically activate any of the H-Series WeaponLights when the handgun is drawn, saving valuable time in high-stress situations and making one-handed manipulations easier. This feature can also be de-activated when automatic light activation is not advantageous.
This versatile holster is also customizable and can be outfitted to fit most any hand size thanks to two included release-button adapters. It's also adjustable to fit up to 2 ½" duty belts. For sheer versatility; a secure hold; smooth, rapid weapon deployment; and the ability to accommodate most any handgun or handgun accessory, there's no other holster like the MASTERFIRE RDH.

You're probably asking yourself "What's this?" 🙂
We're starting a one-month (at least) challenge: using only 10 words in our posts.
No more "see more" captions on your screens.
It all began with a conversation between me and our "Lieutenant of Words", Diana Gheiceanu. She has a way with words, aiming straight at the target, in order to engage with you, dear follower.
As long as I remember myself – my brightest ideas always strike me out of the blue. It can happen at any time, in any place: in public transport, while having a lunch break or reading something.
This time around, I had a brainwave while texting Diana.
I wanted to challenge her. She immediately accepted 🙂
We sat down for a brainstorming session with our Designer, Ana-Maria Eftodi, throwing ideas like lightning bolts, looking for the perfect tagline and visual concepts. We created 12 of them but will be using only 6.
It seemed to me that I found the perfect way to empower the digital world and make a bold move on social media.
Why are we doing this?
Short texts make for a positive reading experience.
It's a win-win situation: for you – the reader who is busy and is fed up of too much content and for us – those who convey the message.
The companies are in a constant chase for reach and followers but forget about quality and the actual intention of social media presence.
Why 10?
Just think about it: count from 1 to 10; 10 helps in bringing projects to completion, when we say: well done – a 10 points project; Pythagoreans believed that 10 is the holiest of numbers, in mythology – it took 10 years to Odysseus to return to his family from war. And the list can go on!
So, we challenge you to join us!
Be clever with your keyboard, type less and use the #10wordschallenge hashtag every time you post.
Bottom line:
Challenge your team. Be the first one – set the trends.
Let's cherish the time. Yours and ours.
Global Marketing Manager,
Patricia Baran

Precisely because Forex is a relatively new market it becomes a little more difficult to assess which institutions are consecrated reliably to the point of obtaining reliable information.
To ease this situation, Spectre is offering one lands on trading portal which works without a broker. So, you are free a lot from fraud. In addition, you can earn one more on the Affiliate program offered by Spectre.
Furthermore, what I am going to explain is a simple and easy way to avoid all this headache and you'll see that makes a lot of sense.
First, never invest in that market by third-party management, that is, let others operate for you. As long as we do not have a credible institution offering this type of investment this will never be a wise choice. This leaves only the option of operating in this market for yourself, but you still have the risk of choosing a serious and honest brokerage that when opening your account and depositing money you are not just being robbed.
Part of your process of learning how to trade in the forex market is closely linked in evaluating possible brokerages with which you can work.
To operate in the Forex market, you need to be familiar with the trading platforms that are offered by the brokerage firms; they basically have the same functions but are different from each other. All serious and honest brokers who take pride in letting you learn to operate on their platforms before asking you to open an account with them. This is done through a virtual count where you can operate in simulation mode, in fact the only difference that exists between a real account and a virtual account is that the money is a lie.
Other factors are such as professionalism of their websites and customer service department in the evaluation of the brokerage house.

5 Ways Listening to Well-Produced Music Can Improve Your Design
By Oleg Mokhov
Need some fresh inspiration? Listening to well-produced music can improve your design. Sometimes the best inspiration is found in something completely unrelated to what you're doing. If yet another design book or article — or studying your favorite designs — isn't helping much, listening to well-produced music can give you fresh, much-needed insight and greatly improve your design.[fblike]
(Image by Joel Bedford)
Just like how performance garment manufacturers look to nature for ideas, or shoe makers study how animals run, so too can you take away lessons from how well-produced music is made and why it sounds the way it does.
Here are 5 ways listening to well-produced music can improve your design:
1. Don't Overload With Too Many Elements
In music, there's limited space. A 20Hz-20kHz frequency range, a stereo spectrum, and volume that can't go too loud lest unpleasant-sounding distortion happens.
Each element of the tune takes up space in all 3 categories. By itself, a guitar or synth sounds clear has maximum impact - it's the only sound playing, after all. But once you add some drums, then these two instruments share space in those 3 categories. Some of the impact of the guitar or synth was taken away by the drums. Throw in a bass, some harmonies, vocals or other lead hooks, and effects, and now all these parts are fighting for space - and each addition lessens the impact of all the existing sounds even more.
If you have too many sounds, you diminish the tune and make it messy.
A well-produced tune will not have any more instruments than needed to maximize the intended emotional, energetic, and musical impact. And it will have them all spaced out so no frequency, stereo, or volume range is overloaded with instruments.
Just like a tune overloaded with too many instruments becomes a mess and loses impact, so does a design with too many elements.
Having too many elements is a bad thing. Only include enough elements to make the desired impact - not a single element more.
(Image by Julian Kleyn)
As the overused yet true saying goes, too much of a good thing is bad. And, as another overused yet true saying goes, less is more. Don't overload your design with too many elements and details. Have only the amount of elements needed to maximize your intended impact - not a single element or detail more. Remember: there's limited space, and every new element takes away from existing ones.
The less elements you have, the more impact each one has.

2. Put the Focus On the Main Element
People are finicky creatures with short attention spans. Something has to really stand out and hook them in order for them to pay attention.
A well-produced tune takes into account that people's ears can only focus on one thing. So it puts the focus on the riff, the vocals, the bass line - whatever the hook and main element is. The rest of the elements — the drums, harmonics, harmonies, effects, melodic flourishes — are mixed into the background, rightfully delegated to supporting role. It's done so by lowering the volume of them in the mix, panning far left or right, or muting the brightness of the sound with an equalizer.
A well-produced tune knows that not elements can be equal. The focus is put on the main element of the tune, and the rest of the elements support and flourish it. Otherwise, the details distract from the main hook and diminish the impact of the music: the vocals, the riff, the melody, or the bass line.
And just how people's ears can only focus on one thing, so do their eyes. To have maximum impact and catch people's attention, you have to put the focus on the main element.
(Image by Julian Kleyn)
Not all of your design elements can be equal. If a design is a bunch of evenly-balanced elements with nothing standing out, then people's attention is as good as lost. Put the focus on the main element, and have all the other elements and details support it by pushing them into the background. Any distractions from the main element will diminish the impact.
Otherwise, if the details distract from the main element, your design loses impact and people's attention is lost.

3. Be Thematically Consistent
A well-produced tune achieves a certain balance, vibe, and direction with the sound: dark, roomy, airy, suspenseful, energetic, summery, oceanic, futuristic, chill.
All the elements — the tones, textures, notes played, effects used, lyrics — are thematically consistent with the intended sound.
You wouldn't hear a bouncy banjo in a darker, moodier tune for example, unless it was delicately treated or ironically used to be consistent with the vibe (sort of how circus music can be creepy when certain notes are used - often heard in a horror or nightmare soundtrack). Do the same with your design: be thematically consistent.
(Image by Julian Kleyn)
In order to convincingly deliver an intended style, mood and emotional response, you need to have all of your elements be thematically consistent. Too disparate of elements, when combined, will be jarring and confusing to people.
Decide on the intended mood and emotional response you're trying to create, and make your design consistent with it to convincingly deliver that mood and emotion. Everything should be aligned with the same direction: the font, color choice, effects, element arrangement, icons used, and even the copy (the "lyrics" if you will).
Otherwise, that unbalanced goth/rainbow/grunge/balloon design will confuse and turn away practically all people.

4. Make People Feel Ecstatic
A well-produced tune doesn't just sound great - it makes people feel great. They're not just listening but feeling ecstatic by the end of the tune. And they keep coming back for more. That's why people often have their favorite tune/artist/album they put on again and again.
The reason well-produced music can make people feel great is because, as mentioned earlier, the intended emotional impact is at its maximum level. Plus, another part of a well-produced tune is the expert pacing and structure of the music. The momentum in the music makes the tune reach a certain point that absolutely gives people goose bumps and makes them feel ecstatic. This climax can be the final chorus in a song, the hands-in-the-air peak in a dance tune, the final glorious moments in a great groove, and so forth.
You can apply the same technique to your design. Make it a sheer joy for people to use it. Not just functional, but exciting or even fun to visit the website. Make people feel ecstatic.
That way, people will keep coming back for more.
(Image by Giorgio Montersino)
Apple gets it when it comes to their hardware (and their software). People get genuinely excited to just hold an iPhone in their hand - and once they start using the thing, they feel ecstatic. Notice how first-time holders of the device just tap and slide things just for the heck of it, with a big smile on their face.
With your design, that doesn't mean adding bells and whistles or unnecessarily-flashy transition effects. It's just about creating a striking visual appeal (as mentioned in the previous points), paying attention to the little details that'll make people smile or laugh when they notice them, and making it not just functional but a sheer pleasure to use and browse around.
Assuming that the content is remarkable, if the design is enjoyable and fun enough to use, many people will want to keep using it just because of the design, creating that ecstatic feeling - no matter how big or small, but enough to warrant a return visit.

5. Use the Right Tones and Rhythm
A dissonant combination of notes or sounds and a messy rhythm section can ruin an otherwise great tune. So well-produced music uses the right tones and rhythm to create the satisfying, ear-pleasing, and musically-intended tune.
Similar to point #3 of being thematically consistent, all the sounds in the well-produced tune use the right tones to harmonically gel, and the rhythmic patterns fit like the gears in a Rolex watch. And when it all works, the listener doesn't even notice - like the best special effects. It's only when something's off that the ears perk up, and enough of those improper tones and rhythm can have the listener reaching for the 'next' button to skip the tune. The same applies to your design: use the right tones and rhythm.
In this case, tones = color tones and color schemes, and rhythm = vertical layout and typographic balance. You want all of them to be visually-pleasing and readable.
(Image by Julian Kleyn)
Just like how properly-tuned, harmonically-compatible sounds are combined to get the right tones (as well as the right notes played), and the properly-interlocked rhythm structure used in the groove to get the right rhythm, so too should you choose the right combination of color tones, and make sure the vertical layout and typography is properly spaced out for maximum readability and usability.
If an incompatible color scheme or combination of color tones is used, your design will look off. It might be a minor visual annoyance or flat out unpleasant to look at, but either could be enough for a person to want to leave and not return.
The same goes for vertical rhythm and typographic balance: if it's hard to make things out, find something, or read the words, the person can leave out of annoyance or frustration.
Don't make visitors hit the 'close' button - use the right tones and rhythm.

Listening to Well-Produced Music Can Improve Your Design
Well-produced music is like a great design, just done in audio.
So next time you're stuck on a design, put on music you think sounds great. You'll get some new, much-needed insight on how to improve your design. You can even add that music to your workflow: have it play in the background while you work.
(Image by Alexandre Normand)
To recap, these 5 ways show how listening to well-produced music can improve your design by providing some fresh inspiration:
- Don't Overload With Too Many Elements - too many details diminish the design and make it messy, so have only the amount of elements needed to maximize your intended impact.
- Put the Focus On the Main Element - to have maximum impact and catch people's attention, put the focus on the main element and have the rest support it.
- Be Thematically Consistent - decide on the intended mood and emotional response you're trying to create, and make your design consistent with it to convincingly deliver that mood and emotion.
- Make People Feel Ecstatic - your design should not just be functional but enjoyable, exciting, or even fun to use, increasing the visitors' return rate.
- Use the Right Tones and Rhythm - choose visually-pleasing and readable color tones, vertical rhythm and typographic balance.

From my perspective it seems as though the 2 Hungry Bros. live just to put previously unknown emcees on a larger stage thanks to their well crafted beats. Enter New Jersey rapper Doc Reevez, who as coincidence happens stumbled across one of their tapes in a thrift store, instantly recognizing their production talents but not being able to make heads or tails of the handwritten insert to figure out WHO they were. A friend who recognized their beats intervened, introductions were made, and now Doc finds himself in the enviable position of having an entire album be laced by the Bros. "Recipe for Disaster" is the fruits of their collective labor.
The press release accompanying this album focuses on "Frun Gru" as the lead single, so I'm going to give it that level of focus as well to open the review. "These crabs acting like girls get dropkicked/You don't want to get suplexed on these street/have you crying while the blood ooze, checking your teeth." It's a very pugilistic song that seems to borrow heavily from the worlds of pro wrestling & MMA, and also features cameo appearances from K Gaines and Reef the Lost Cauze. It's a fun track on the whole but one thing strikes me right away – Doc Reevez seems to be going to extra lengths to clearly enunciate everything in his flow. "Ac-TING" as opposed to "actin'" and "check-ING" as opposed to "checkin'." It's not that there's anything wrong with an emcee being purposefully articulate, but it comes across a little forced in the actual delivery.
With nearly an hour of music in total, "Recipe for Disaster" accidentally reflects the album's title, containing a lot of elements that are enjoyable on their own and a few that almost ruin what the chefs are trying to bake. I know how talented the Bros. are, so tracks like "Soul Collector" don't feel like their work. It sounds and feels like a knockoff Wu-Tang Clan track, complete with muddy vocals, as many Wu imitators do who try to capture RZA's intentionally "dirty" style in the early 1990's without successfully recreating the spirit of creativity that went into it. It's only more jarring when hearing how much cleaner "The Wrath" is immediately after.
Doc Reevez & Two Hungry Bros. 'Recipe for
Disaster' by Already Dead Tapes and Records
If you read the tags that Deep and Ben Boogz put on the album via Bandcamp the album is described as "eclectic" and "experimental," and I would have preferred more of the former and less of the latter. When they stick to straight up boom bap in an eclectic variety of styles the results are pleasing, such as the hard hitting "Stimuli" (not featuring Sha Stimuli – oh well), the funky funk keys of "Charred Beef" and a GOOD Wu-inspired track in "No Resemblence." On this track Doc morphs into a New Jersey version of Madchild and describes himself as a "warrior of ancient origin" and captures the right mixture of martial arts spirituality and slightly psychotic antagonist.
Doc Reevez & Two Hungry Bros. 'Recipe for
Disaster' by Already Dead Tapes and Records
The problem with "Recipe for Disaster" is probably the high expectations I have of the 2 Hungry Bros. going in more than any of the elements by themselves. Still it's a shame because I know their worth and songs like "The Movement" don't feel polished, while songs like "Heavens Way" seem overly reliant on breaks that would sound good mixed with notes that don't for inexplicable reasons. It reminds me of Gang Starr's "ALONGWAYTOGO," a song I've always considered one of DJ Premier's rare misses, because it has an irritating high pitched noise that runs all through the cut except for his expertly scratched Q-Tip breaks between verses. If it weren't for that one noise, the song would be a gem. Somehow the 2 Hungry Bros. have made the same mistake on "Recipe for Disaster" and left a lot of songs one or two elements away from greatness, leaving Doc struggling to gain an identity as his vocals get drowned in the mix. I'm surprised they let "Recipe for Disaster" come out this way and calling it "experimental" doesn't make up for the fact the experiment didn't entirely succeed. They can and will do better than this in the future.

Holocaust Survivor Earns High School Diploma at 87
"I just woke him up to tell him [that you called] and he was very excited," Leah says about her father, long time Forward reader Mordechai Miller.
For a Holocaust survivor like Miller, receiving an education during the war was unusual. "My education from Poland was nothing. I only made it to the first grade in '39," he explains. Thankfully, the now-Long Island resident survived the war in hiding with his family.
"I was a hidden child. [I was hidden] in a forest, in a bunker, by Polish people. We paid them money to hide us out," he remembers.
The only form of education Miller did receive after the age of 8 years old came at a makeshift school in Germany's Displaced Persons Camp. Eventually, his family made their way to the United States after a stint in Israel, where Miller served in the Israeli Army. When the family finally arrived on American soil, his father became sick. "Me and my brother went to work to make a living," he says.
Even without any formal education, the self-made man speaks multiple languages fluently, and was able to open up his own junkyard business, which thrived. Over the past 30 years, the optimistic survivor has travelled to different public schools near his home, speaking about his experiences in Nazi Germany. He feels it is his duty to bear witness — both for those who claim the Holocaust never happened, and in honor of those who didn't survive to tell their stories.
Miller's daughter Leah remembers, "Education was always a big priority for my father. He always pushed to ask questions and learn more. He doesn't blindly believe what anyone says just because someone is in power."
Now, at the age of 87 with a loving wife, four children, six grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren, Miller has finally been recognized for learning — he received a high school diploma from Smithtown High School just a few weeks ago.
"I was involved with the school for ten years," he said. "I felt honored. They made a big thing about it." He sounds, more than anything, excited.
His daughter Leah took to Instagram to show her appreciation to the Long Island high school for helping to fulfill her father's life-long dream of achieving a diploma. "He made it a priority to educate people about the Holocaust, something he continues to do while fighting pancreatic cancer," she wrote. "Thank you to everyone who supported him, listened to his story, and made this happen."
If you were looking for a pick-me-upper amid the latest morbid immigration news, Miller's story — a story of the triumph of truth and knowledge over baseless hatred — may be just the thing.
My dad finally got his high school diploma! Born in Poland, he wasn't allowed to get an education past first grade, because the Nazis invaded Poland and banned Jews from getting educated. He survived with his immediate family by hiding out. He moved to the US and became a self-made man, marrying a great woman, having four children and a thriving business. He made it a priority to educate people about the Holocaust, something he continues to do even while fighting pancreatic cancer. At 87 years old he finally got his diploma. Thank you to everyone who supported him, listened to his story, and made this happen. #smithtown #holocaust #survivor #graduation2018 #happy
Mazal tov, Mr. Miller! Thank you for being both a student and a teacher.

Lobster mini-season closes with satisfied, tired divers
Well, that was fast.
The 48-hour lobster mini-season, Florida's mad dash for tasty-tailed crustaceans, wound up Thursday with few incidents and a good supply of "bugs" for some. Meanwhile, in the Florida Keys, there was, sadly, one reported fatality.
Along the Treasure Coast, divers got back to "work" Thursday in an attempt to add to their Wednesday finds. After the season's first day, many reports indicated that 12-lobster daily bag limits were few and far between, but overall, because conditions were very good for diving and several large lobsters were located, it was considered a pretty good first day of diving.
Thursday offered more of the same, according to many.
"We wound up with 28 Thursday for three divers," said Pete Rich, of Port St. Lucie, who was diving with Trevor Harris and Jim Adams and using a hookah rig — an air compressor floating on an inner tube connected to air hoses with breathing regulators. That gave Rich and friends 51 lobsters in two days, which is more than enough for a good old-fashioned lobster dinner.
Rich said the conditions weren't much different between Wednesday and Thursday where they dove off Peck Lake near Hobe Sound.
"The water was a little warmer Thursday, but the visibility was a little sloppier during the incoming tide," Rich said.
Lobster roundup:Ideal conditions greet day one divers
Brandon Langel, of Fort Pierce, who was diving some spots in deeper water off Fort Pierce reported the opposite — water about 5 degrees cooler Thursday than it was Wednesday. But the lobsters cooperated, sort of.
"Numbers might not have been great this year on the Treasure Coast, but those who found them found big ones," said Steven Wood, manager of Deep Six Watersports and Dive Shop in Jensen Beach. "There were many reports of 5- to 10-pounders caught. And lots of people were happy with the conditions since the ocean was flat and visibility was great pretty much everywhere."
Wood said some of his customers and members of the Deep Six Dive Tribe reported cold pockets of water in areas down as low as 68 degrees. He added that because the visibility was good — perhaps the best it has been in the past several years of mini-season around Peck's Lake, a popular reef south of St. Lucie Inlet in Martin County — many divers saw more of the reef than usual.
Off Indian River County, divers such as Steve Maynard, of Micco, were happy with the large lobsters they caught. Matt Badalato and his crew dove off Sebastian and bagged a few lobsters up to 5 or 6 pounds.
Fort Pierce and its wide range of reefs in shallow and deep water seemed like it did not disappoint.
"I'm going out to find the lobster that stole my snapper bait Wednesday," joked Capt. Richard Hunt, of Little Adam charters in Fort Pierce, on Thursday. Wednesday, he had a charter fishing trip with clients who wanted to fish for snapper. After catching a few nice mangrove snapper, an angler started reeling up a line only to find a legal lobster on the end of it. They added another later.
Thursday, Hunt and Brandon Haynes caught a bunch of lobster using more conventional methods — diving with tanks and scuba gear in 60 to 90 feet of water.
More:Treasure Coast Fishing Report: Interesting fishing in the surf
Peter O'Bryan and Patrick Pitts, both of Vero Beach, were able to find 25 lobster up to about 6 pounds by diving in 60 feet of water off Fort Pierce Wednesday aboard the boat Bug Buster.
On a beach dive off Bathtub Beach, Jensen Beach youngster Peyton Lodato, 8, was diving with mom Amber Brandman and friend Tony Hill when they caught a rare smooth-tailed lobster. Spiny lobster are the only one with size limits, but divers can also find spotted spiny lobsters (called Spanish lobsters) and two types of slipper lobsters, said Florida Tech researcher and lobster diver John Brady, of Sebastian. He and Joe Schoettle, of Sebastian, enjoyed a good midnight dive off Pepper Park beach in St. Lucie County where they caught a few for dinner, and one for Brady's 55-gallon aquarium at home.
Alek Loudakis and friends had a disappointing trip numbers-wise off Stuart early Wednesday morning. Loudakis, of Port Salerno, was able to hook up with another group out of Fort Pierce on Wednesday afternoon, including James Walsh, Jarret Wild and others, for a much different result. The dives produced 10 lobsters, including a 12-pound beast Loudakis believes would have won any lobster tournament in Florida.
Elsewhere, conditions were not as good for visibility or sea conditions, but the numbers of lobsters may have been better. Corey Wheeler of Palm City said his crew, diving near Homestead in Miami-Dade County, encountered murky water Thursday, and numerous lobsters with eggs or shorter than the 3-inch minimum carapace length, but did wind up with two short of a three-man limit (18).

Stuart residents Edgar Stout and family collected a few more to add to a good two-day total while vacationing in Islamorada. Kevin Kates of Jensen Beach and his group of 10 total divers wound up tow days' of work off Pompano Beach with a group total of 194 lobsters, plus five speared hogfish and a red grouper.
According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, there were a few arrests, an accident where a 16-year-old girl diving in the Keys severed her finger while climbing off a boat, and a death of a 78-year-old Temple Terrace man who was being towed behind a boat near Bahia Honda State Park in the Keys to search for lobsters. The cause of death has not been determined by the medical examiner. More information about arrests and incidents will be available from the FWC Monday.

5 Self-Massage Techniques for Achy Feet
by Dave Pratt
One of the best things to do between massage treatments is to treat your own feet to a treatment. This is easy to do, costs nothing but a wee bit of your time (10 minutes or more if you'd like), and can help you feel both calmer and more energized. Some people like to do this routine first thing in the morning and find that it helps get them going for a busy day. Other folks find it a calming way to end a long day on their feet. Either way, you'll be happy to took the following steps:
1. Drop Everything Else
This is perhaps the most important step. Give yourself permission to have a break from hurry and worry, the past and the future, and (shriek!) turn off your cell phone. Simply follow through on this step and you will benefit enormously from whatever your foot massage session turns out to be. Begin by just sitting and experiencing that your body is breathing for a few breaths.
2. Mobilize the Ankle
Remove your socks, and give them a short soak in warm water. (Depending on the feet in question, soap may also be necessary.) You can add epsom salts to your tub if you'd like. Next, prop one foot on the opposite thigh and use both hands to move the whole foot in circles 5-10 times both clockwise and counterclockwise, then flex and extend the foot 5-10 times each way.
3. Soleful Kneading
In the same position, take one fist (gently clenched) and rest the knuckles against the sole of the foot on the heel. Place your other hand on the opposite side of the foot for support. Now move the fisted hand in a rolling fashion up and down the bottom of the foot. You can experiment with using the opposite hand for counter-pressure.
4. Tippity Tap
With both palms and fingers, vigorously tap/clap up and down the sole, being careful that your whole body is comfortable. You can do this by just letting the activity be playful and enjoyable. If you notice you are tense in your shoulders or back, feel free to shift around to a better position. You are your own therapist, so you get to decide how to adjust the treatment.
5. Fanning the Foot
You'll need a small amount of olive oil, massage oil or lotion for this one. Spread some oil on each palm, especially on the thumbs. Wrap your fingers over the top of your foot, so your thumb pads rest against the sole. Make fanning movements up and down the sole by spreading the thumbs apart - toward the edges of the foot. Adjust the depth for your preference.
Repeat all of these steps on the opposite foot. If it is more comfortable, you could alternate feet throughout. One other addition would be to take a tennis or racquet ball, put it on the floor and simply roll it back and forth under your foot. This feels amazingly good. Like the other 5 techniques, it can help increase blood flow, stimulates nerve endings and relaxes both the body and the mind.

text: Healthy Origins 7-Keto High Potency 100 mg. is a substance found naturally in the body and is primarily produced by the adrenal glands. 7-Keto is a trade name for 3-acetyl-7-oxo dehydroepiandrosterone or 7-oxo-DHEA. 7·Keto is metabolized from DHEA and similar to DHEA, 7·Keto levels have been known to decline with advancing age. However, unlike DHEA 7·Keto does not convert Estrogen or Testosterone. This lack of conversion with 7·Keto may be beneficial since overproduction of these two hormones can lead to unwanted side effects.

The Gap Visa Card is no longer available. You can review our list of the best rewards credit cards for what we think are better options.
Full Review of Gap Visa Credit Card
High rewards at Gap-branded stores
20% discount off your first purchase
Extra shopping perks
Eligibility for Gap ICON status
Sky-high APR
Foreign transaction fees
Pros Explained
- High rewards at Gap-branded stores: As a Gap Visa cardmember, you'll earn 5 points for every $1 spent at Gap-branded stores, including Banana Republic, Old Navy, Athleta, and, of course, the Gap itself. Plus, you'll get 1 point for every $1 spent on all other purchases.
- 20% discount on your first purchase: Once approved for a card online, you'll receive a 20% off your first purchase when you open and shop with your new credit card. The discount can be used only at Gap or Gap Factory, can only be used once, and must be used within 30 days of opening the account.
- Extra shopping perks: As a cardmember, you're entitled to special perks, including bonus point shopping days and a birthday gift as long as you've made one purchase at Gap in the previous 12 months.
- Eligibility for Gap ICON Status: If you earn 5,000 points in a calendar year—meaning you spent $1,000 at Gap-branded stores or $5,000 on non-Gap purchases, or a combination thereof—you'll qualify for Gap Silver status. At this level, you'll get extra benefits, such as a 20% quarterly bonus reward, free online shipping, and basic alterations on Banana Republic purchases. You'll also have access to a special customer service hotline.
Cons Explained
- Sky-high APR: Store-branded credit cards tend to have high APRs, and the Gap Visa card is no exception. The APR for this card is 25.99% on purchases. The average APR for all credit cards assessed interest was just 16.44% as of November 2021. You can avoid costly interest fees by paying off your balance in full each month. But if you tend to carry a balance, you might want to consider shopping around for a card that has a lower APR. For example, the Chase Freedom card offers 0% introductory APR on purchases. After that, your APR will be 14.99% to 23.74%.
- Foreign transaction fees: If you plan on traveling outside of the United States, pay attention to the Gap Visa card's foreign transaction fees. You'll pay a fee equal to 3% of every purchase whenever you use the card in another country or even when you're at home and you buy something from a foreign vendor. If you were to spend $1,000 on such transactions, that means you'd pay $30 in fees. Many other cards don't charge foreign transaction fees. For instance, the SavorOne Rewards from Capital One card has no annual fee, charges no foreign transaction fees, and you'll earn unlimited 3% cash back on dining and entertainment.
This Card is Best For
Resists or refuses an annual fee on principle or due to cost
Seeks to maximize points or miles earnings across spending categories
First, and foremost, fans of this fashion brand are best suited for the Gap Visa. If you enjoy shopping at Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic, or Athleta and spend hundreds of dollars on clothing and accessories per year, the Gap Visa card may be for you. It has no annual fee, so it should be painless to add the card to your wallet.
Because the card has such a high APR on purchases, the Gap Visa card is best for fashionistas who pay off their balance in full each month. Otherwise, hefty interest charges will accrue.
Gap Visa Bonus
When you're approved for the Gap Visa, you'll receive a 20% off your first purchase when you open and shop with your new credit card. You have 14 days from the date of opening an account to redeem your discount, and it can only be used on Gap or Gap Factory purchases.
That discount could help you save a significant amount of money if you're planning on updating your wardrobe. For example, let's say you added a blazer, a pair of jeans, and a dress from Gap to your shopping cart, bringing your total to $307.90. If it was your first purchase as a Gap Visa cardmember and you used your 20% discount, you'd get $61.58 off the total. You'd pay just $246.32, instead.
Rewards Earning Details
With this card, you'll earn 5 points per $1 spent at Gap-branded stores, including Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy, and Athleta. You'll also earn 1 point per $1 spent on all other purchases.
Rewards Redemption Details
For every 100 points you earn on your account, you'll get a $1 reward you can redeem in-store or online. The maximum you can redeem at one time is $250.
There is no limit to the amount of rewards you can earn. However, point are initially earned in a pending status, and after approximately 14 days become eligible to apply towards a purchase.
How to Maximize Your Rewards
To get the most value from your Gap Visa card, use it whenever you shop at Gap-branded stores. With it, you'll earn 5 points per $1 spent on purchases from Gap brands.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average American consumer spent $1,434 on apparel in 2020. If you spent that much on clothing from Gap-branded stores and used your credit card to pay for those purchases, you'd earn 7,160 points.
You'll receive a $1 reward for every 100 points you earn, so those 7,160 points would translate to $71 in rewards, with 60 points left over.
Standard Benefits
The Gap Visa card's benefits are typical of a store-branded card. Perks include:
- Bonus point shopping days
- Special birthday gift
Cardholder Experience
Like most store-branded cards nowadays, the Gap Visa card isn't managed by Gap, Inc. Instead, it's serviced by Synchrony Bank, a national credit card issuer.
Unfortunately, Synchrony doesn't have a great reputation for customer service. According to J.D. Power's Credit Card Satisfaction Study, Synchrony was ranked 10th out of 11 card issuers. The average ranking for a national card issuer was 809, while Synchrony's ranking was just 788.
You can reach Synchrony's customer service team by calling 800-887-1198. You can also chat with a customer representative through your account portal.
Security Features
The Gap Visa has basic security features that are standard for credit cards. You're covered by zero liability protection, so you're not responsible for unauthorized transactions.
Our Verdict
While the Gap Visa offers an impressive 5 points per $1 spent on Gap-brand purchases, you're limited to shopping only at Gap-branded stores to earn the higher rewards rate, and you can only redeem your rewards at Gap-branded stores. The rewards rate for anything else (1 point for $1) is pretty par for the credit card course these days.
And when you figure in the sky-high APR, the card's even less of a bargain, especially if you're the type who carries an outstanding balance from month to month.
If you are a big Gap fan, you might as well go for the Gap Visa, with its option to be used elsewhere. But if you're not a Gap devotee, you're likely better off with a retail-oriented, general rewards card that offers more rewards on every purchase and that has more redemption options. For example, the QuicksilverOne card from Capital One offers unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase you make from any merchant, and you can redeem your rewards for cash, statement credits, or even gift cards. And if you have a strong credit score, you can probably qualify for a lower rate elsewhere than the Gap Visa's high purchase APR.

The abuse of an elderly nursing home resident came to light when a former employee saw a video on Facebook, recorded it and showed it to the victim's family, a lawsuit claims.
The victim's family immediately contacted the facility and is now taking legal action. The video is short but shocking. It shows staff members at a south suburban nursing home taunting a 76-year old man named Reggie—who suffers from dementia. The alleged abuse happened in July at Holland Home in South Holland.
Attorney Margaret Battersby Black represents the victim and his daughter who filed a lawsuit naming holland home and four care givers for violating the nursing home care act.
"Our client was essentially taunted and bullied by, we believe six caregivers of the facility, in a demoralizing, disgusting and demeaning way," Battersby Black said.
According to the suit, the defendants "maliciously abused Reggie through their remorseless taunts, mockery and lewd suggestions for the purpose of coercing Reggie into taking his pants off and exposing his genitals."
The suit alleges that the "defendants publicly broadcasted their exploitations of Reggie via Facebook Live so the whole world could laugh at him, just as they did."
The victim had been living at Holland Home for about eight months. It's not clear whether there were other instances of abuse.
"I can tell you in my experience if this is happening in one room in this nursing home, it's happening in others," Battersby Black said.
Holland Home did not return NBC 5's call seeking comment for this story.
It's not clear whether South Holland police will conduct a criminal investigation.

Accessible voting machine presentation
There will be an accessible voting machine demonstration from 6-8 p.m. Wednesday at the Center for Disability Rights, 497 State St.
The New York Disability Vote Network, along with the Center for Disability Rights, is working with the Monroe County Board of Elections to improve the comfort level of voters with disabilities as election season approaches. The demonstration will include a hands-on look at how accessible voting machines function.
"We are hoping that the outcome of this is that people are more comfortable voting and it will also show that people with disabilities really want to vote," Ericka Jones, a systems advocate for CDR and coordinator of the event, said in an email. "We also want to show that people with disabilities expect complete access to polling stations and voting machines."
Jones said a coloring activity will be provided for children while the demonstration goes on.

Battery disconnection, removal, and replacement should be carried out only by qualified personnel, in order to avoid any injury. Consult a retailer/authorized repairer.
Only install a battery of the same type and rating. Installing an incorrect battery may result in a fire and injury, or damage to the electrical system. If you are in any doubt when installing a battery, seek qualified assistance.
When refitting the battery make sure that no metal objects, or vehicle components, come into contact with the battery terminals. Failure to do so may lead to an eletrick shock.
Switch off the vehicle's electrical system before disconnecting the battery terminals. Failure to do so may lead to an eletrick shock.
Always disconnect the negative terminal first and reconnect last, in order to avoid electric shock.
If the vehicle's battery should require replacing, the battery must be removed from the vehicle. Consult a retailer/authorized repairer.
Used batteries must be disposed of correctly as they contain a number of harmful substances. Seek advice on disposal from a retailer/authorized repairer or the local authority.

Synchrotron based X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS), being element specific and sensitive to low molar concentrations (down to 1 ppm), is a method of choice for identifying the chemical speciation of the valuable or toxic trace metals in complex matrices such as ash. The monitoring of chemical speciation of metals in ash is crucial for indications of the risk of leaching and thus for enabling a proper ash recycling (or disposal). It is also important for evaluation of the possibility of recycling metals from the ash. The purpose of the project is to investigate and demonstrate the potential of using XAS for determining the speciation of trace metals in ash from waste incineration plants. The ultimate goal of the project will be to develop precise routine analysis methods for high throughput measurements at the BALDER beamline (MAX IV) of ash-samples, and in the long run, other environmental-related samples.

Tempo – Bidimensionale nell'Arte e nella Scienza
Le necessità del cambiamento mentale sono percepite anticipatamente dall'arte ed in seguito dalla trasformazione dei paradigmi della scienza. La tridimensionalità dello spazio e l'unicità del tempo appartengono ad un modello di percezione cartesiana del mondo nella quale si ritiene che le immagini siano una riproduzione fedele della realtà.

Precision + Guided + Seeing
A large body of theoretical work has focused on the delocalizing or deterritorializing effects of real time technologies. They are often regarded as having contributed to the evacuation of geographical space, overriding the specifics of place and distance. Virilio, for example, has often suggested that real time technologies and their accompanying dimension of "liveness" have prompted the disappearance of physical space - in other words, that "real time" has superceded "real space".
The New Dialectic of Play
As expected, the game show has received fierce criticism, especially from left-wing cultural critics and political parties. But that is hardly important. What is more important is that industrial-age definitions of play and work no longer apply to the contemporary game.
The Stuff of Culture
As culture is infusing more and more aspects of contemporary life, and the range of producers is widening but the special status of the artist and the social capital attached to this position, is being eroded. Artists are becoming, again, artisans, not fundamentally different from others creative producers.
Multisensory interactive installation
This paper presents the "Multisensory Interactive Installation," (MII) a musical interactive installation based on Kandinsky's paintings, through which a user can become a painter and a composer simultaneously. The painting's visual elements are synesthetically linked to musical elements: each color is linked to a specific instrument and chord while each shape is linked to a specific rhythm.
