Scottish minister: UK in post-Empire mode needs to find a new identity

Britain's decision to invoke Article 50 by March 2017 has thrown the country into chaos, said Fiona Hyslop in an interview with EURACTIV. "The UK has lost an empire and has not managed to decide who and what it is yet over the last few decades and needs a new identity."
Fiona Hyslop is Scotland's Cabinet Secretary for Culture, Tourism and External Affairs, commonly referred to as the Culture Secretary. Her position covers culture, the arts, relations between the Scottish Government and the European Union and other international affairs.
Hyslop spoke to EURACTIV Editor-in-chief Daniela Vincenti, in the margins of the Friends of Europe annual conference. She made her comments a few hours before the SNP's Nicola Sturgeon told the party conference in Glasgow that an Independence Referendum bill would be published next week.
Since Prime Minister Theresa May said that the UK will invoke Article 50 by March 2017, do you think there has been chaos or more certainty?
I think the situation is chaotic, as the only thing that is known now is the date Article 50 will be invoked.
They are doing that without a clearly set out plan for what they want to achieve, which has been fully formulated. To date, it certainly hasn't involved Scotland or the other devolved administrations in the United Kingdom, despite the commitment from Theresa May that she would fully involve those administrations.
I think in terms of where we are now, there is still a lot of thinking and development to be done, but all that's happened is that a closing window has been set. I've strongly argued that there needs to be sufficient time for preparations to be made before Article 50 is triggered, to make sure we can get the best conditions we can.
Brexit chaos puts Scottish independence back on the table
Scotland's government will publish a draft bill for an independence referendum next week as a last resort if it cannot keep close EU ties when the UK leaves the bloc, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon warned today (13 October).
Which one is the best condition possible?
We think there are three routes that need to be explored: first, we need to convince the UK to get into the best position possible; the best position is of course to remain, but if that's not the case and Brexit means Brexit, then we need the next best possible option and get the best deal for the UK as a whole.
If that's not possible, then some kind of differentiated position, where there would be different positions for different parts of the UK.
The single market and freedom of movement mean a lot to us, so a differentiated position could be an option.
If that is not possible either, we have said that we would be prepared to present another bill for independence for Scotland.
Precisely on that point, is Scotland again on the path to independence now that there is a move towards a 'hard Brexit'?
A lot of people, and not just from the SNP government, have been asking what type of country does the UK want to be.
Some of the language and the rhetoric to come out of the Conservative Party conference was very worrying indeed.
Freedom of movement is very important to us and we will stand up to xenophobia, even if it comes from the UK government.
Our primary concern is trying to convince the UK to be in the least worst option. If that's not possible, then a differentiated position from Scotland is an option.
The road to independence is not our starting point on this matter. But if they propose something that is so against Scotland's interests, then they themselves will be putting us in that position, where the only route option will be an independence referendum. They are playing a dangerous game.
So if they choose to go for hard Brexit…
Hard Brexit increases the risk for the UK that they will be responsible for changing the UK constitution.
So Scotland would then go for another referendum…
That is by no means certain, but it is on the table. We will make sure that the UK is aware of what they are risking. There is a lot to be done on communication and we have appointed a minister for negotiating with the UK on this relationship.
It's a very important role because we are very conscious that we have to influence the UK. Within a week of the 23 June vote, I was before a parliamentary committee giving evidence on how this is a big opportunity a role for Scotland.
Those discussions have started. Now we have to hold Theresa May to her word after she came to Scotland first when she was elected.
If that's to be seen as anything meaningful rather than just a gesture, then there has to be some substance to it.
There are very practical elements to Scotland, like our financial services, but also our own justice system. The UK, I think, is the only member state to have two justice systems.
We have been transposing legislation for many, many years and have been citizens of Europe for 40 years. We have control over agriculture, fisheries and environment. These are policies that are administered in Scotland, not in Westminster.
It's a complex area to navigate. It's not just about us either, the peace process in Ireland is also problematic, and a solution is going to have to found so there isn't a return to a hard border. There need to be different positions that can be taken for different parts of the UK.
What kind of deal do you anticipate? No hard Brexit, no hard border. Do you already have a vision for the kind of agreement you wish?
It's unprecedented. No one has tried to leave the EU before and we are in uncharted territory. It's perfectly possible for the EU to be creative and flexible, it's happened in different scenarios before.
Take Belgium for an example, there is a differentiated agreement in place there, showing it's possible. We think that this could be an option for us too.
We didn't want a leave vote, Scotland voted to remain, but we have already showed leadership. Our First Minister made clear our support for EU nationals, and that they feel welcome, because they contribute a lot.
Another part of our plan was establish a standing council of experts, comprised of former UK ambassadors and other diplomats, academics and scientists. They are helping us establish what kind of options could be available to us.
Your very first question was about whether we are currently in a chaotic situation. It is more or less chaos. What we are not seeing is rational, evidence-based policymaking.
I think that there is far too much irrationality and over enthusiastic optimism of a world that cannot be, especially from those who are in ministerial positions. There are three ministers who voted to leave as the three chief ministers in charge. But you also have people who voted to remain, becoming born-again Brexiteers, with an even more hard-line attitude.
The dialogue that has emerged after the vote is very worrying and we need to get back to rational policy-making, which is in the best interests of the UK. Scotland helped bring new enlightenment to the world and we believe reason must return to this debate.
Live: EU begins to talk life after UK
The negotiations haven't even started yet, with the now infamous Article 50 yet to be triggered by Theresa May's government. Things are starting to take shape and the news will come thick and fast. Follow EURACTIV's live feed for all the latest developments and talking points.
This irrationality. It's very indicative of the rapid changes going on in the world. The UK doesn't seem to be able to cope with change. Does it? Are you confident that any roadmap they come up with will be fit to finding the proper arrangement?
I don't know. We've been in government for ten years. People across the UK, not just in Scotland, have responded positive to the leadership role we have taken to this European issue. But I'm not responsible for the UK government, we can try an influence it, but that's it.
But they have to try and find their sense of gravity. Maybe it's a case of post-Empire syndrome, the UK lost an empire and it hasn't managed to decide who or what it is yet. It hasn't managed to do that over the last few decades. It needs to find a new identity.

it's gonna be a fun show to watch … at least from afar
Richnewts says:
Ooooohhhhhhh more Starbuck shite
Mike Parr says:
No – Ingerland – needs to find an identity – a large swathe of south Ingerland seem to have settled on "back to the 1950s" where everybody knew their place – forelock tugging a go-go, warm beer etc. What a total bunch of wallys.
evad666 says:
It seems the concept of democracy and its serious deficit within the EU needs explaining to many voters in the UK.
The UK has been sold a lie by politicians and Business leaders who love to holiday on the Continent.
I smell a rich stench of french odour behind our current problems.
norman moore says:
England is not xenophobic if you think we are ask all the people that live in our cosmopolitan London which is in England not Scotland ?
Don't you think that people will have been spouting this xenophobic rubbish 50 plus years ago?
Funny how some people are quick to bite the hand that feeds them.
And if you want further proof that England is not xenophobic ? Ask yourself why is it that there has been no stampede to leave and why are the numbers increasing daily from outside the Uk wanting to live here?
It seems that it's only the Brexiteers that know their identity and just because we happened to be walking the same way as the EU before ….now the EU realises that they were mistaken when they thought they were leading the way and the shock of this realisation has brought out their true envy and bile talk of the U.K.
CedricH says:
Europe has been conquered by German money. Now it's time to build the Bundswehr to enforce German demands.. Europe will be taking migrants from Germany as ordered.
Power hungry Scottish politicians want to take their democratic voice with England away so they can give that power to the undemocratic despot Angela Merkel and Germany.. How dumb is that. In five years others will want their own exit from autocratic Germany. That is also why Germany needs an army. So it can enforce migrant quotas on the rest of Europe. !939 is coming back to bite Europe.

Whiplash is one of the most common injuries dealt with by Chiropractors. It can range from mild to severe, and in some cases can become chronic, causing related psychological issues. In this blog, we will look at what it is and how to treat it.
Whiplash is an injury to the muscles, tendons, soft tissue, bones, discs and nerves of the cervical spine. It is the result of vigorous or violent movement of the head either sideways, or more commonly, front and backwards. Whilst whiplash can be the result of a fall or blow to the head during contact sport, most often it is caused by a rear-end motor vehicle accident.
Recent studies have shown that the sharp forwards/backwards motion causes the lower cervical vertebrae (lower neck) are forced into hyperextension (forwards) while the upper cervical vertebrae are forced into hyperflexion (backwards). This causes an abnormal S shape to form, causing damage to the entire neck area.
Generally, a whiplash injury is acute. However, in around 30% of cases, pain persists and the condition becomes chronic. This is one of the reasons it is imperative to seek treatment for a whiplash injury quickly.
Generally, symptoms will start to develop within 6-12 hours of the accident, and may worsen over the following days. Symptoms can last for days, even up to months, depending on the severity of the injury.
In severe cases, you may start to experience numbness or pins and needles in the face, difficulty with balance or walking, fainting and problems controlling your bowel or bladder. If this is the case, seek medical treatment immediately.
WAD is more likely to occur in cases where the original whiplash injury has not fully resolved and pain is still present months after the injury. These cases are considered to have become chronic.
It is important that as well as seeking treatment for the physical symptoms of whiplash, WAD sufferers seek treatment from a psychologist or counsellor trained in pain and injury related conditions.
Generally, the severity of a Whiplash injury is classified from 0-4 – 0 being no pain, to 4 allowing for potential fracture.
Diagnosis is generally made via examination, and questioning, and then confirmed with either an X-ray or MRI.
Years ago, Whiplash injuries were treated by immobilisation. A soft or hard collar was often prescribed. It has now been proven that excessive immobilisation of the neck can actually lead to muscle atrophy (wasting) and decreased blood flow, which slows healing and reduces eventual mobility. That being said, it is important treat the neck carefully, which is why it is best to seek the advice and treatment of a chiropractor to ensure your injury is receiving appropriate care.
These days your Chiropractor will use a range of treatments, depending on the severity of your injury, and your particular physiology and symptoms.
In the acute phase, your Chiropractor will focus on pain and inflammation reduction. Ultrasound, TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation), gentle stretching, ice and anti-inflammatories will be included.
Once the pain and inflammation has begun to subside, your Chiropractor will treat your injury with gentle manual manipulation of the spine including flexion-distraction; soft tissue therapy with SmartTools; joint stretching and resistance; trigger point therapy, including dry needling; and therapeutic massage. The number of treatments you require will be based on the severity of the injury, and the way in which your body responds to treatment.
Your chiropractor will help you with what exercises you can do, whether your pillow is right for your injury, what pain and anti-inflammatory medications you can use and answer any other questions you may have.
Since Whiplash is generally the result of an accident, it is not possible to entirely eliminate the risk. You can, however, reduce the risk by ensuring the headrests in your car have not been removed, and that they are correctly positioned directly behind your head. If you do not have headrests, it is worth seeing if you can have some fitted to protect your head and neck.
If you are concerned you may have a whiplash injury, contact our Baulkham Hills Clinic on 9639 7337 to make an appointment for diagnosis and treatment with our experienced Chiropractor. If you are suffering from any of the more severe symptoms we mentioned, contact your doctor or local hospital immediately.

Flórina (grčki: Φλώρινα, makedonski: Лерин, Lerin) je grad na sjeverozapadu grčke periferije Zapadna Makedonija, Florina je i sjedište istoimene prefekture, kao i sjedište mitropolije.

Ime

Današnje ime grada Florina  potječe iz vremena Bizanta, kada se ovo mjesto zvalo Chlérinon  (grčki: Χλέρινον), u prijevodu mjesto puno zelenila. Tokom vremena ime je latinizirano u oblik Florinon  (od Latinski flora, vegetacija) do XVII st. kad se ime promijenilo u oblik Florina.
Makedonci su pak zadržali ime Lerin, koje je bliže prvobitnom Hlerion.

Zemljopisni položaj

Grad Florina nalazi se na krajnjem zapadu povijesne pokrajine Egejska Makedonija, na znatnoj nadmorskoj visini od 663 m. Grad leži na južnom obodu doline Pelagonija, na mjestu gdje se iz ove kotline odvaja put ka Prespanskom jezeru. Leži 13 km južnije od granice sa Sjevernom Makedonijom u šumovitoj kotlini. Kroz sam grad protiče rijeka Sakuleva. Grad je okružen visokim planinama, na jugozapadu se uzdiže planina Verno a sa sjeverozapada Baba-Planini (Varnous).

Klima u Florini je zbog nadmorske visine grada i zatvorenosti ovog područja uticajima egejskog mora izrazito kontinetnalna. Nju karakterizira izuzetno toplo ljeto i hladnija zima s čestim snježnim padalinama.

Povijest

Iako je okolina Florine bila naseljena već za neolita i antike, prvi put se grad Florina spominje za vladavine srpskog Cara Dušana 1334. g. kada je on svojim ukazom proglasio nekog Sfrancesa Palaeologusa komandantom utvrde Hlerenon.

Grad Florina s cijelom okolicom potpao je pod otomansku vlast 1385. g. i ostao pod njom tijekom sljedećih 5 stoljeća. Tijekom ovog razdoblja grad je imao upravnu važnost, tako je u otomanskom defteru za godinu 1481. popisano 243 kuća. Grad i okolina izgubili su grčku osobenost - u gradu su živeli Turci, Grci, Makedonci, Židovi i Vlasi a po okolnim selima najviše (slavenski) Makedonci.
Krajem XIX i početkom XX st Florina je poprište borbi dviju crkava, Grčke ( na čelu s Carigradskim patrijarhom) i Bugarske ( osnovana 1870.)
1886., 78.4% kršćanske populacije iz Florinske kaze (provincije) - dijela Bitoljskog vilajeta - izjasnilo se da se osjeća dijelom Ekumenskog Patriarhata ( grčke crkve), a 21.6% da se osjeća dijelom  Bugarskog Egzarhata, no kod popisa iz 1900. procent kršćanskog stanovništva koji se izjasnio dijelom grčke crkve pao je na 50.9% dok su Egzarhisti ( za bugarsku crkvu) narasli na 49.1%.

Tek 1912. g. nakon I. Balkanskog rata, grad potpada pod vlast suvremene Grčke. Nakon Prvog svjetskog rata i Grčko-Turskog rata, masovno je iseljavano tursko stanovništvo, a doseljavano grčko izbjeglo iz grčkih maloazijskih i crnomorskih kolonija (Smirna, Trabzon). Tijekom Drugog svjetskog rata u logorima i pod represalijama gotovo je istrijebljeno židovsko stanovništvo.
Nakon Drugog svjetskog rata, tijekom Grčkog građanskog rata, grad Florina bio je važno uporište ELAS-a, i NOF-a, tako da je po završetku tog sukoba bila iseljena i većina Makedonaca iz grada. Tako je taj nekada nacionalno i vjerski vrlo mješovit grad postao gotovo isključivo grčki. Posljednjih desetljeća u grad i okolicu uloženo je dosta, osobito u ceste i obrazovanje, ali je i pored toga Florina ostao grad na rubu glavnih tokova života u Grčkoj, što je izazvalo masovno iseljavanje stanovništva, naročito iz okolnih sela.

Gospodarstvo

Sam grad je sjedište trgovine za čitav taj kraj. Privreda prefekture Florina najviše se oslanja na poljoprivredu i turizam ( zimski i ljetni) a i na prirodna bogatstva okoline (stočarstvo, voćarstvo, šumarstvo), pa su razvijeni drvoprerada, tekstilna industrija, planinski turizam i prehrambena industrija. Florina ima i tradiciju kožarskog i krznarskog obrta.
Tijekom 1950-ih i 1960-ih godina Florinski kraj bio je područje masovnog iseljavanja u veće grčke gradove ali osobito u Njemačku i prekomorske zemlje ( Australija, Kanada).

Category games in Spanish are a fun way to practice vocabulary. I play several games that review vocabulary by grouping words in different ways. I call the printable Spanish vocabulary game below Nombra 3. You can find a free download of 70 game cards at the end of the post.
In this Spanish vocabulary game, players draw a card and name 3 things in the category the card specifies. Groupings words by a common characteristic gives students the opportunity to think about vocabulary they know in different ways. Some of the categories fit thematic units, such as Nombra 3 frutas. Others, are not so obvious. For example, some of the first words my students learn are mano, manzana and mamá, but kids don't usually think of them as palabras que empiezan con la letra m.
Spanish Playground has other printable word games, too. Check out this Basta game for Spanish vocabulary practice. It has printable game boards with categories for Spanish learners.
This printable Spanish vocabulary game where players look at pictures and determine what is missing is another option. Also, this Spanish word-building game is a fun way to practice weather and natural world vocabulary.
In addition, we have two Spanish vocabulary games based on Go Fish with an added component of place. One is a printable Spanish card game for house vocabulary called Buscando por la casa and the other is a Spanish game for kids called Encuentra los animales.
To play Nombra 3, first choose cards with categories your students have the vocabulary to answer and clarify words they don't know. There are 70 cards and some of the cards may have unfamiliar vocabulary even if they can answer the question.
For example, Nombra 3 prendas de ropa que llevas cuando hace frío. Students may know words for clothes, but not the word prenda.
If that is the case, you can underline the word and list it on the board with a definition or translation. You can also reword the question or provide a translation on the card.
We play in groups of 3 or 4, but you can also play in pairs. To play, place the cards face down in the center. Also, decide how many cards you will answer in each game if you are going to declare a winner.
Players take turns drawing a card, reading it aloud and naming 3 things. I have students read their own card, but you can also have them read to each other.
If a student can name 3 things, they keep the card. If they can't, the card goes back to the bottom of the pile. You can use a timer to keep the game moving faster if you like.
You can also play this Spanish vocabulary game in teams as a large group, giving each side 30 seconds to confer before they answer. When I play this way, if a team can't answer, play passes to the other team.
Below you'll find a list of the categories on the on the cards (in no particular order). There are also blank cards on the printable PDF so you can make your own questions for the Spanish vocabulary game.
The cards for this Spanish vocabulary game are handy for other activities too. You can use them with board games or to fill a few minutes at the end of class. You can also ask for just one item in the category and have students write their answers on individual white boards. How do you use categories in your classes? Share your ideas in the comments below, or let us know on our Facebook or Twitter. We love hearing your suggestions and how our materials work for you!
Thank you for the fun ideas. I needed something to break up the monotony in my class.
I know what you mean! Can't you sense when they need a change so you can keep them motivated? I hope the game is a hit!
Isn't it funny how some groups really don't like games? I'm glad this activity worked for you! Thanks for letting me know.
What a good way to start a Spanish group! I'm glad the game was helpful.

Q: Create a second css transition before next page loads Im using css transitions to show animated lines on pageload. To initiate the lines Im using a jquery script to change class on the line elements.
I would like to reverse the CSS transitions when I load the next page. On pageload the lines draw up - for next page I want them to draw out before the next page draw them in again. I guess  I would need to Load the pages with something like ajax to get a seamless transition between pages to start with?

  }

Script:
$(function () {
$('.v-line, .h-line').addClass('ready');
});

A: You can use the transitionend event, there is fired when a CSS transition has completed.
You have also to prevent the navigation when clicking on the link.
//Add listener on  nodes
$('a').click(function(e){
    //cancel the navigation.
    e.preventDefault();

    //take a reference of the clicked link
    var linkNode = this;

    $('.v-line, .h-line')
        //remove the classe (you have also to add reverse transition)
        .removeClass('ready')

        //add the "transitionend" event.
        .one('webkitTransitionEnd otransitionend oTransitionEnd msTransitionEnd transitionend',
            function(e) {
                //navigate to the href on clicked link.
                document.location.replace( linkNode.href );
            }
        );
);

About a seamless transition, yes you couldn't avoid it if you load a new page,
ajax is a good way to update the needed content of your page without a complete reload.

A: This solution uses Event Delegation. In this case Jquery captures the click on the element then removes the CSS class.
If you use the code below when the user clicks, the animation will play in reverse and the page will change. Although the page change interrupts the animation.
Goto your page, paste the code below into the browser console and then click a link to see it work.
$("body").on("click","a",function( event ){
$('.v-line, .h-line').removeClass('ready');});

In order for you to allow the whole CSS animation to complete before changing pages you may need to use Event Prevent Default. This function stops the original click from occurring. This means you'll need to fire the event manually after the animation is complete.
Goto your page, paste the code below into the browser console and then click a link to see it work.
Please note since the default behaviour is prevented the page does not change, but the animation now has enough time to complete.
$( "body" ).on( "click", "a", function( event ) {
event.preventDefault();
$('.v-line, .h-line').removeClass('ready');});

Here's Russ with Team of the Week for game week 26 of The Premier League.
So here's my team if the week. Special mentions for Ivanovic who has probably been the leagues most consist defender for bloomin' ages, and a goal to boot.
Also, what a difference a Toure makes. Struggling City suddenly find 5 goals and a much needed win not long after the return of king Toure from the African cup of nations. A coincidence? I don't think so.
And, Harry Kane might just be the greatest English footballer since the last one we all got excited about. But good. And with goals to back it up.


Can someone help me? My cacti and succulents get this weird fungal growth on them. It looks terrible and eventually they become quite unhappy. What is it and how do I go about curing it?
I came back from holiday to find this beautiful cactus flower. How nice!
One of the scaffy cacti I rescued a while back has returned the favour by providing a crown of purple flowers, just in time for Christmas!
My mom was getting rid of this box of scaffy cacti and, as I hate to see a pot plant go to waste, I decided to rescue them. A pair of gloves, some cheap ceramic pots (R16.00) and a bag of gravel later, they were as good as new!

Q: how to change apache superset's chart's background color? Per How to Change Apache Superset Template from the Superset User Interface? , I was able to change the CSS template for Superset dashboard. But the charts inside the dashboard are not affected. e.g. most of the charts have white colored background(e.g. Piechart) and some people dislike it. How to change the chart background color? I mean change it for all charts or for one chart.

A: Disclaimer: This should work, but is a bit hacky and could have long-term support implications:
I've been fiddling with a "dark mode" dashboard just to kick the tires on this. Here's a screenshot just for fun:

So... what did I do?

*

*Click "Edit Dashboard" in the top right of your screenshot

*When in edit mode, the top right menu has an option to "Edit CSS"

*Use your browser's inspector to hack away! That said, here are a couple of key ingredients:

*

*.dashboard-component{ background: whatever} - sets the main background of each viz card, but you'll still see many components still have white backgrounds within these wrappers.

*.slice_container  svg{
background-color: transparent !important;
} - this overrides the white background of the components I ran into (including Pie charts!).

If viz components use SVG you can get pretty clever with inspecting/overriding various bits. A couple of gotchas with the above:

*

*If a viz component contains multiple SVG elements, this may have side effects.

*If a viz uses canvas instead of svg you will run into more trouble

In the worst case scenario, you may need to check out the superset-ui-plugins repo and make tweaks. This dev process isn't super straightforward, but some of us are working to improve that.

A: Easiest solution for me is using dark reader extension.


Kyle Dennis is a 26 year old multi-millionaire trader who runs his own stock trading educational service, BioTech Breakouts. His service focuses solely on stocks within the biotechnology sector, which can provide massive opportunities for profit on catalyst run-ups. This type of focused approach allows his members to learn the strategy inside-and-out, and apply it on a relatively narrow group of stocks on a daily basis. Overall, his strategy is extremely simple for anyone to understand, and best of all – it's effective.
This is arguably the most important aspect of Kyle's strategy. A catalyst is a reason a stock might move in one direction or the other. When it comes to the biotechnology sector, these catalysts typically come in the form of Phase 1/2/3 data releases, PDUFA's, AdCom meetings, presentations at conferences, etc. Leading up to such events, speculation and hype can build around the drugs being produced by various companies, resulting in an uptrend in share price as the particular event approaches. The best catalysts are ones with set dates, meaning they are scheduled to take place on a specific day (not month or quarter).
Once a quality catalyst has been found, it's time to perform some technical and fundamental research on that particular ticker. You can check recent news, view analyst reports, analyze insider activity, etc. If all that checks out, a candlestick chart can be used to evaluate potential entry and exit points. Within this same step, risk vs. reward can be calculated. Using simple support and resistance concepts, you can decide on potential areas to buy and sell. The more criteria that adds up, the better: good catalyst, solid financials, insider buying, bullish chart pattern, etc. It's at this stage where a detailed trade plan can be created and then put into action.
The catalyst events that Kyle and his members are trading around provide a specific timeframe for which the trade can pan out. But holding through the event itself can be extremely risky. If data is good, stocks can potentially double in value, but on the flip-side if data is bad, stock value can potentially be cut in half. Holding through the catalyst itself isn't part of Kyle's strategy. His approach is to take advantage of the speculation leading up to such events, with the idea that a run-up will occur. Holding through events is essentially a 50-50 gamble – not the odds Kyle Dennis and his members are looking for.
Conclusion – Does the Catalyst-Driven Strategy at BioTech Breakouts Work?
Over the course of the past few years, Kyle Dennis has captured over $2,000,000 in profits utilizing the strategy outlined above – clear proof that it works. Of course there's more concepts that he covers within his newsletter, but this is a broad explanation of how he has made millions in the markets. Overall, it's not all that difficult to understand, but most individuals aren't motivated enough to actually learn how to implement this strategy on their own. They're merely focused on "hot picks" or blindly copying others.
Bottom Line: Kyle Dennis is one of the best teachers on Wall Street. He might even be a better teacher than trader – and that's saying a lot. His supreme focus is on education and making his members self-sufficient. He openly shares every aspect of his strategy and creates video lessons to share with his members on a consistent basis. It's no surprise that his educational service has quickly become one of the best available on Wall Street.
Hello Matt. I used to be interested in binary option trading, but I realized it wasn't for me and I came across online business to pursue instead. I can honestly say that trading isn't for everyone, but for the people that are into trading stocks, I recommend that they read about Kyle Dennis and his approach. Based on Kyle's success, members should be successful too if they follow his 3-pronged strategy to trading biotech stocks. Sounds like it would work with much more consistency than binary options.
He's 26 and a millionaire? He has my respect. I'm curious how much of his knowledge have you been able to profit from. Has he made you any money?
I know nothing about biotech or the biotech industry. To be honest, the terms intimidate me. Having said that, I wouldn't know a catalyst in the biotech realm if it stared me in the face.
I'm not being cynical. I'm being honest. At this point, I'm not sure I'm even interested in learning about it. The steps you've provided are simple enough but the subject matter is more advanced than I'm up to at this time. Perhaps I'm in my own way.
I wish you and all who delve into it all the best.
Hi Bob – that's correct. Kyle Dennis just recently turned 27 and he's a multi-millionaire stock trader. He's best known for taking $15,000 and turning it into $1,000,000 as a member of Millionaire Roadmap, but he's well past the $3,000,000 profit mark at this time. Just about two months ago, he decided to drop his typical trading portfolio down to $25,000 with the goal of turning it into $1,000,000 yet again. So far, That Portfolio is up Over 200% in what Kyle has dubbed the Million Dollar Mission.
Before learning about Kyle Dennis, I didn't know much at all about the biotech industry either. But he has a defined strategy that works on a consistent basis, and best of all, he teaches it to his students with patience and discipline. He teaches exactly how to scan for ideal technical setups using Finviz, search for catalysts in the sector using BioPharmCatalyst, and every other aspect of his "bread and butter" strategy. He's always an open book when it comes to answering questions, in addition to Live Streaming His Trading Screen during market hours for his Nucleus members. There's absolutely no better way to learn how to trade than watch a successful trader's every move day-in and day-out.
It can certainly be intimidating trying something new, but the services that Kyle Dennis has to offer can provide expert guidance for even the least experienced traders. That's mainly because the focus is primarily on education. Producing a community of traders that have a clear understanding of concepts, can pinpoint opportunities in the markets, and execute on them completely on their own. It's not about blindly mirror alerts. A lot of the time that's what people think they want – alerts. But blindly mirroring anyone's buys & sells is a dangerous game without the proper education and risk management.
Kyle's Biotech Catalyst Swing Trading strategy is one of my favorites and I've certainly made some nice profits using it. Check out some examples of trades I've made in this Biotech Breakouts Review. Unfortunately, I don't have a breakdown of all of the biotech catalyst swing trades I've made thus far (and haven't made many lately with my focus on a couple other services currently under review), but Kyle's own success and hundreds of client testimonials can do most of the talking. Take care!
This is a good read. Im recently reading more and more about stocks and this is a well informed write up and has filled in a lot of blanks for me. As others have said though, I was also in the opinion that biotech stocks and pharmaceuticals are a volatile area generally so im curious about Kyle's input here too.
Hi Chris. Biotech and pharmaceutical stocks certainly tend to be volatile, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. What Kyle puts into practice, and teaches his students to do as well, is to take advantage of that volatility to the upside while reducing the risk to the downside.
For example, his main strategy involves capturing profits on run-ups into various FDA events and data readouts. He reduces risk by never holding through the event itself (that's merely a gamble), but takes advantage of the excitement and hype leading up to it. He also performs fundamental and technical analysis in order to understand company history, past performance, how executives are compensated, institutional interest, average daily volume, and more. He puts the odds and volatility (increased profit-potential) in his favor with research and discipline.
If you want to get in contact directly with Kyle Dennis in order to ask him questions, he's active on Twitter and his Blog. He's open to answering all questions regarding his trading strategies. Take care!
Hi Neil. Biotech is certainly similar to pharmaceutical companies – those terms are pretty much synonymous. As far as catalysts go, Kyle's main strategy includes run-ups into phase 1,2, or 3 data readouts and not so much earnings plays. Within his Biotech Nucleus program, he certainly trades and alerts options plays in addition to stock trades, but I'm unsure if he uses a strangle strategy. In all honesty, I've never heard of that term (I mainly stick to stock trading), but feel free to reach out directly to Kyle to ask. Contact Kyle Dennis.
It's refreshing to have someone in the financial industry be honest like this. It's a good sign when someone shows vulnerability like that. So many people feel the need to be the expert that has all the answers all of the time. Kudos to you and thank you for the quick and honest reply!
I have always been fascinated with stock trading. Just don't know how to begin. But you have shown me where to start. I understand the Twitter account, But where do I find Seeking Alpha? & BioTech Breakouts? are they from a website or facebook? Id like to track the information before I make any decisions.
Hi Brian. It seems like you're referring to this article: 3 Ways to Follow and Learn From Kyle Dennis For Free. The Twitter, Seeking Alpha, and BioTech Breakouts links are all available there.
Seeking Alpha is a website full of financial articles and research – Kyle Dennis is a frequent contributor of biotech reports on that platform. BioTech Breakouts is his personal website, which offers a free email list that anybody can sign up for, as well as a blog containing video lessons, webinars, portfolio summaries, and various other educational content. Hope that helps – Take care!

What people consider 'wellness' is changing, MindBody CEO explains
Sandra Salathe
May 15, 2022, 9:29 AM ·5 min read
The fitness industry is recovering from the shock of COVID-19, and gyms are finding that some pandemic-era trends are subsiding while others are sticking around.
"It starts with how the consumers think about wellness," Mindbody and ClassPass CEO Josh McCarter said on Yahoo Finance Live (video above). "And we say that COVID really created this global wellness imperative where people think about wellness differently."
According to Mindbody's 2022 Wellness Index Survey of 16,000 individuals, 78% of respondents said that wellness was more important than ever and nearly half of those surveyed cited mental well-being as a top reason to exercise.
These findings suggest that the definition of wellness has broadened: It's now more about "integrative wellness," McCarter said, which encompasses other services beyond exercise such as IV therapies, red light therapies, and cryotherapy.
"So as we see that now, more and more people are thinking about things like meditation and also those type of practices that can help them with their stress management and with their mental health," he added. "And so we think that services around that area will continue to grow."

'Communal animals'
Fitness still remains a top priority for Americans, though how they seek it out may be changing again.
Virtual workouts and online fitness classes, which surged during the pandemic, are gradually becoming a thing of the past as more individuals return to gyms nearly two years after COVID-19 forced many businesses to close their doors.
"Well, we're definitely seeing a resurgence in demand," McCarter said. "About 83% of consumers now are booking in-person classes, so that's really great news for a lot of the small and medium businesses that serve the market that were closed due to restrictions over the last couple of years."

Between March 2020 and December 2021, 25% of health and fitness facilities permanently closed, according to data from The Global Health and Fitness Association (IHRSA). Additionally, 30% of studios closed, and more than 1.5 million industry jobs were cut.
While the pandemic is far from over, more Americans are getting vaccinated and states are rescinding mask mandates, leading many gyms to maintain a hybrid approach between in-person and online classes. According to McCarter, some have cut back virtual workouts to once a week "rather than four or five times like they used to during the pandemic."
Anthony Geisler, Xponential Fitness CEO, agreed that rise of virtual workouts during the pandemic hasn't permanently disrupted in-person fitness.
"I mean, look, working out at home has been around forever. I tell people my mom did Richard Simmons sweating to the oldies when I was a kid. So it's not that working out at home is new," Geisler said. "It's just a small part of the pie. And so it got a lot of attention during COVID because people had no other choice but to work out at home. But we're communal animals. People love to be inside the studios."

"There's definitely a lot that's happening," McCarter said. "Right now, it's just coming back into the physical spaces. We certainly have seen the trend with boutique fitness that Mindbody has really been part of and supported that industry ever since its inception in the early 2000s. And so we do see a move away from the larger-format gyms into more boutique fitness, whether that's spin or yoga or Pilates. That market still seems to be growing nicely."
Inflation in the fitness industry
McCarter also touched on whether or not he expects inflation to have an impact on demand for classes and wellness services.
"Well, it is concerning on one level," he said. "But on the other side, again, of our business with ClassPass, that really is a model that allows somebody to buy, effectively, a discounted service and be able to go to multiple different properties to redeem, effectively, points that they get in exchange for their membership. And so that's something that we've seen actually a nice increase on that side of the house where people are thinking about having different modalities being able to tap."

ClassPass offers an array of memberships that cater to different budgets. Memberships begin at $15 a month for 6 credits and go up to $199 a month for a total of 100 credits. Credits can be used to book a class or appointment and vary by location, class type, or popularity. Members can choose from pilates classes, gym time, meditation classes, or even book a manicure at a partnered salon.
"Being able to offer those types of services at a discount, I think, is really where the market is going right now," McCarter said. "And that's one way that we can help more consumers get into the broader wellness industry."

Shares of Carvana (NYSE: CVNA) were moving higher again today as an ongoing short squeeze seemed to lift shares of the beaten-down online used car dealer for the second day in a row. As of 10:22 a.m. ET, Carvana stock was up 26.8% on high-volume trading, following a 19.5% gain last Friday. What was also notable about today's jump is that, unlike Friday's, it came as tech stocks pulled back, meaning the squeeze wasn't correlated with any specific market news or optimism about slowing interest rates or something similar.

Down 70%, Shopify Stock Is a Once-in-a-Generation Buy in 2023

Barack Obama says he's good with their idea of him serving only one term.
The Democrat admitted to NBC's Ann Curry that some times are more difficult than others in the Oval Office."There are days where I say that one term is enough," the aging president said in an interview broadcast the morning after the first GOP debate in New Hampshire.
Michelle and the kids are wonderful in that if I said, 'You know, guys, I want to do something different,' they'd be fine. They're not invested in daddy being president or my husband being president.
Neither, it seems, is the growing field of Republican challengers and millions of Americans expressing increased disapproval of Obama's job performance. According to Gallup, this president's average approval in 2011 so far is 46%, down from last year's 47.3%.
In the week ending June 12, Obama's job approval was 46%, down from 50% the previous week, while his disapproval was 44%, up from 42%.
Dissatisfaction with his job on the economy seems especially high with nearly two-out-of-three disapproving. It must have something to do with gas prices being up 104% since he became president, the national debt growing by 35% to $14.3 trillion and unemployment jumping from 7.3% on his Inauguration Day to 9.1% lately.
Coincidentally, in the same time period Obama's approval has tumbled from 69%.
However, Obama's one-term thinking is just TV talk. While seven debating Republicans were trying to finish a complete sentence or two between John King's interruptions on CNN Monday evening, Obama was doing three fundraisers in Miami , with another offshore Tuesday in Puerto Rico.
At the same time Michelle Obama seems pretty invested in her husband's reelection, doing a string of her own political money harvests on the West Coast.
Obama, who turns a half-century old this summer, added in his NBC interview that what keeps him going on tough days is thinking of all the many things he still wants to do on education and energy. And, no doubt, the fact that there's still a few hundred billion dollars he has yet to spend.
The president has shared some other notable ruminations. At one of those Florida funders, Obama made yet another of his promises. He vowed that 2012 will be the last time Americans see his name on a ballot.
And he claimed: "Frankly, Michelle would have been happy if I had just kept on teaching and writing books."
In recent days, Obama was also forced to step into the distracting mess surrounding the married New York Rep. Anthony Weiner, who has admitted talking and texting dirty with a half dozen women around the country and generously sharing cellphone photographs of himself snapped in unusual places.
Curry asked the president about that fellow Democrat. And Obama said if he was in Weiner's towel, he would resign.

Here is the gift, the root of the root. That You, that We all, are the Rainbow Light. We carry the rainbow of all healing colors in our heart.
Instead of holding tight it is essential to let go!
Spirit is intervening for all of us to become more and even more of our own fuller selves and to shine as the Rainbow Light. It is omnipotent, brilliant and collective. Everything is happening for all of us at once for our highest good. We are the Rainbow Light that is not shadowed by darkness. What's more, if our analytical minds can get over this huge concept, if the past can teach us this one thing, to open and yield to a brilliant future, to the infinite possibilities we can all rest assure that all will be well. However, it is essential that we get this one thing-change is the essence of life. Are you willing to surrender what you are for what you can become? And if our conscious minds can get this, we are well on our way to becoming Masters of our own Destiny. As Alan Watts wrote, "The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance".
This is the moment, the creation of a new being is at hand. We are not in the gestation period any longer. We are fully dilated and giving birth. Moreover, to birth anything new we must feel the contractions/pain to experience the gift of expansion/birth. Don't shoot the messenger! It's about the message.
It's time to practice the gifts our ancestors have given us, what the masters have written, what we have known all along to be true. Popeye said it best, " I AM that I AM!" This will never change. I am spirit. I am grace. I am the Rainbow Light. Keep repeating that. Keep that in your heart. Heaven is here. All our loved ones are here beside us. Keep practicing love, until you remember that you are nothing but Divine Love. Make it your Heart Song.
As I wrote last week, we have been in a void for so long and right now there could be no better time to finally get who you really are and what we are capable of creating. We are creating our own reality in every moment. How ever you show up in this moment determines the next, and then the next, and so on and so forth. This is how truly creative, magnificent and powerful we are. Keep shining, keep showing up and singing your song out loud. Freddie Mercury sang it best, "We are the Champions of the World." Become your own Champion. Take that leap of faith. It is indeed the most beautiful time of the year and the most exciting time to be alive!

Reflection: All will be well
By Father Chris Thomas
As we enter the new year, I can't help but be filled with hope for the future. While 2020 was dreadful for everyone, now we at least have the hope of vaccines and treatments for Covid-19.
However, I also hope that any eventual 'normal' does not mean a return to the way things were before. I do not believe we can go back to our narrow, selfish world where we put the barriers up against those in need and try to separate ourselves from poorer nations. We can't go back to the inhumane way in which we – a rich, developed nation – treat asylum-seekers and refugees and the poorest in our own society. I hope our preoccupation with celebrity status finally comes to an end as we realise what it is, and who it is, that makes society function.
At the heart of Fratelli Tutti, the Pope's latest encyclical, is the parable of the Good Samaritan. I have always loved that story because it offers a wonderfully provocative account of who is the true neighbour. Who is it that reaches out to the man robbed and beaten by the side of the road? It is the foreigner, the one who doesn't fit in. Pope Francis says this story offers the 'criterion for judging every economic, political, social and religious project'. It is a reminder that the Gospel invites us to respond to our sisters and our brothers who are in need without judging whether or not they deserve that response by superficial criteria as so many of us do. We are challenged to turn outwards, to act as neighbours, and to reach out to all those who are in need.
Also central to this encyclical is the conviction that we are called to love, and that call is not something that is only felt or lived out with our friends and families. Love is not just about personal relationships but should also be at the heart of everything we do, socially, politically and economically.
There are many people who have been wounded and broken because of what has happened in 2020 and we must never forget the pain that has dogged the lives of so many. However, that should spur us on to try and create what Paul VI called 'a society of sharing solidarity and love'.
If we take to heart the Gospel message then we can indeed face the future with hope and work to create a new type of society where the poorest are the most valuable, where economic wealth is shared and we can live in peace with one another. Pray every day that any future new 'normal' will be one in which all people are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve as Children of God – for when that happens, as Julian of Norwich wrote, 'all will be well and all manner of things will be well'.

1-Phenyl-2-pyrrolidinylpentane (also known as Prolintane or Pyrrolidinopentiophenone, and by the trade names Catovit, Promotil, and Villescon) is a synthetic central nervous system (CNS) stimulant that is structurally similar to the substituted pyrrolidine class of compounds such as MDPV and A-PVP albeit with notably attenuated effects. Prolintane was first synthesized in the 1950s, where it was found primarily to act as as a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI)[1] which is thought to confer it stimulant and potential nootropic qualities.
Historical reports show records of the preparation of prolintane for use as a mild CNS stimulant, wakefulness agent, and cessation aid for cocaine addiction. It has been marketed in Europe since the 1960s as an antidepressant (i.e. due to its anti-fatigue properties) and analeptic. It has a history of being used in neuropsychiatric research related to CNS stimulants with reduced side effects. Therapeutic uses of prolintane in Africa, Europe, and Australia include the treatment of narcolepsy, ADHD, fatigue, and orthostatic hypotension. It is not approved for pharmaceutical use in the United States.[2]
The first reports of prolintane abuse appeared in Europe during the early 2000s when prolintane was identified in tablets distributed at a rave party. Later reports documented the recreational use of prolintane in the United States, where it appears to substitute for recreational amphetamine and other stimulant use.[3]

Prolintane, or 1-Phenyl-2-pyrrolidinylpentane, is a synthetic stimulant of the pyrrolidine class.
Prolintane is thought to act primarily as a mild norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor.[4] Reduced re-uptake of norepinephrine and dopamine results in higher concentrations of the two catecholamine neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft, or gap between neurons. The result of this reduced reuptake activity is an enhanced and prolonged concentration and resulting post-synaptic effect of dopaminergic and noradrenaline signaling at dopamine and norepinephrine receptors on the receiving neurons. This sudden increase in neurotransmitter concentration in the brain is thought to be responsible for the high that prolintane can induce at higher doses.
Because it acts principally as a catecholaminergic re-uptake inhibitor, prolintane could be considered more like cocaine or methylphenidate than amphetamine in its pharmacological mechanism of action [5] In contrast, amphetamine acts primarily as an agonist to release dopamine and noradrenaline indirectly via activation of the TAAR1 receptor.[citation needed]
The effects listed below are based upon the subjective effects index and personal experiences of PsychonautWiki contributors. The listed effects will rarely (if ever) occur all at once, but heavier dosages will increase the chances and are more likely to induce a full range of effects.
Abnormal heartbeat
Diarrhea or Nausea - Some experience reports describe individuals who have experienced one or more types of gastrointestinal disturbance while under the influence of prolintane, but typically only at very high doses.
Increased heart rate - Higher doses of prolintane can create a significant and often dangerous increase in heart rate and blood pressure.
Muscle contractions
The effects which occur during the offset of a stimulant experience generally feel negative and uncomfortable in comparison to the effects which occurred during its peak. This is often referred to as a "comedown" and occurs because of neurotransmitter depletion. Its effects commonly include:
Cognitive fatigue
Motivation suppression
Thought deceleration
The general cognitive effects of prolintane can be described as being similar to those of classical CNS stimulants with attenuated activity. At common dosages, the prolintane high is described as being subtle and functional, comparable to a proportionally smaller dose of dextroamphetamine with a smoother, less jittery come up and a milder comedown. Higher doses of prolintane, however, can likely intensify numerous negative effects such as anxiety and disorganized thoughts; at extremely high doses or continued use, delusions and psychosis become likely.
Creativity enhancement
Delusions - This effect can manifest with high doses, but less readily than with other stimulants.
Ego inflation
Increased libido
Paranoia - This effect can also manifest with high doses, but less readily than with other stimulants.
Time distortion - This can be described as the experience of time speeding up and passing much quicker than it usually would when sober.
Thought organization - Mainly observed with low to common doses.
Thought disorganization - This effect manifests and is also intensified with higher doses.
Erowid Experience Vaults: Prolintane
The toxicity and long-term health effects of recreational prolintane use do not seem to have been studied in any scientific context, and the exact toxic dosage is unknown. Anecdotal evidence from people who have tried prolintane within the community suggests that there do not seem to be any negative health effects attributed to simply trying this drug at low to moderate doses by itself and using it sparingly (but nothing can be completely guaranteed).
Lethal dosage
The exact lethal dosage of prolintane is unknown, and no formal studies have been carried out in humans. The typical adult therapeutic dose of prolintane has been 10-40mg daily. In therapeutic trials, 20mg prolintant is a mild stimulant equivalent to 100mg caffeine. In a study of fatigued volunteers the administration of 20mg or 40mg prolintane produced similar, but less intense effects than 20mg d-amphetamine. In experimental studies of healthy volunteers, prolintane has little cardiovascular activity following the single dose of 20mg.[6]
Unlike some of the other more potent stimulants in its class, the chronic use of prolintane can be considered mildly to moderately addictive with only a moderate potential for abuse and is capable of causing psychological dependence among certain users.
When addiction has developed, cravings and withdrawal effects may occur if a person suddenly stops their usage. Addiction is a potential risk among users of prolintane as it can cause compulsive redosing, although typically to a far lesser degree than the notoriously compulsive cathinone analogs A-PVP and MDPV.
Main article: Stimulant psychosis
User reports indicate that chronic abuse or single overdose exposure of prolintane can potentially lead to psychosis. Psychotic symptoms from prolintane can include hearing voices, visual hallucinations, urges to harm oneself, severe anxiety, mania, grandiosity, paranoid delusions, confusion, increased aggression, and irritability.
Stimulants - Prolintane can be potentially dangerous in combination with other stimulants as it can increase one's heart rate and blood pressure to dangerous levels.
MDMA - The neurotoxic effects of MDMA may be increased when combined with other amphetamines.
Cocaine - This combination may increase strain on the heart.
25x-NBOMe & 25x-NBOH - Members of the 25x family are highly stimulating and physically straining. Combinations with stimulants should be avoided due to the risk of excessive stimulation. This can result in panic attacks, thought loops, seizures, increased blood pressure, vasoconstriction, and heart failure in extreme cases.
Alcohol - Alcohol can be dangerous to combine with stimulants due to the risk of accidental over-intoxication. Stimulants mask the sedative effects of alcohol, which is the main factor people use to assess their degree of intoxication. Once the stimulant wears off, the depressant effects of alcohol are left unopposed, which can result in blackouts and respiratory depression. If combined, one should strictly limit themselves to only drinking a certain amount of alcohol per hour.
DXM - Combinations with DXM should be strictly avoided due to DXM's effects on serotonin and dopamine reuptake. This can lead to panic attacks, hypertensive crisis, or serotonin syndrome.
MXE - Combinations with MXE may dangerously elevate blood pressure and increase the risk of psychosis.
Tramadol - Tramadol lowers the seizure threshold.[7] Combinations with stimulants may further increase this risk.
MDMA - The neurotoxic effects of MDMA may be increased when combined with amphetamine and other stimulants.
MAOIs - This combination may increase the amount of neurotransmitters such as dopamine to dangerous or even fatal levels. Examples include syrian rue, banisteriopsis caapi, 2C-T-2, 2C-T-7, αMT, and some antidepressants.[8]
