Mizar Review | Is The Upcoming Mizar Bot Trading Platform Worth Your Attention?
The cryptocurrency market is finally gaining traction after a dismal year. Coins such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin, which are large-scale coins, are at the forefront. But there are other "hidden gems" in the cryptocurrency market that usually trade for under $1. However, there have been instances in the past where such coins have exploded in value. Today we look at seven of these coins that have the potential for massive gains. The list includes some projects that have attracted investor attention in recent days, such as Dash 2 Trade, RobotEra, Calvaria, and IMPT.io.
Overview – 7 Best Cryptocurrencies to buy under $1
Here are some of the best cryptocurrencies under $1 that are primed for massive gains.
Dash 2 Trade – Best Crypto Project to Invest in Now with Informed Trading Data
RobotEra – Robot-building sandbox-style Game
Calvaria – Best Crypto Project with the Highest P2E Potential
IMPT – Best Coin for Environmentally Inclined Investors
ChiliZ – Sports and Entertainment Project
Hedera Hashgraph – Improving Corporate Blockchain
Vechain – Supply Chain Platform
Let's now take a look at each of these projects one by one.
Dash 2 Trade – Best Crypto to Invest in Now with Informed Trading Data
Dash 2 Trade is one cryptocurrency platform that is making waves in the cryptocurrency market. Its native token, D2T, is the best token with on-chain analysis. Along with a very successful presale, Dash 2 Trade has a wide range of features to back it up. It uses the power of data and analytics to assist traders in making informed trading and investment decisions.
The D2T token powers the ecosystem and is required by users to unlock the full potential and all the functions of the platform. There are three tiers of subscriptions for the Dash 2 Trade platform – free, starter, and premium. As more and more functionalities get used by token holders, the price of D2T is expected to rise by many folds in the coming months.
Dash 2 Trade is coming closer to the first exchange listings since LBANK, BitMart and ChangellyPro confirmed they will list the token after the presale ends. As of now, Dash 2 Trade raised more than $9 million, and it's rallying toward the final goal – $13 million raised and the end of the presale.

RobotEra – Sandbox-style P2E Game
RobotEra is a new crypto presale project that has attracted the attention of investors ahead of its 2023 launch. It combines P2E gaming with NFT ownership and metaverse world-building. This opens up several avenues for generating passive income. The main aim of the game is to rebuild a planet called Taro which was destroyed by a cataclysmic event.
Players can either build structures or buy ready-made structures on the open market. They can also charge admission fees for events they host on their structures. To do all this, no previous coding knowledge or experience is required to build on the metaverse land. RobotEra has developed custom in-game editing tools that allow for 3D interaction.
TARO is the native token of the project, which players can stake to generate passive income. The staked tokens can also be used to gain voting rights in the DAO. RobotEra is now on the verge of developing virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) functionality and hopes to release it by 2023.

Calvaria is another new cryptocurrency project that is making waves thanks to its unique gaming model. It is a P2E cryptocurrency game where players have to build strategic decks of NFT cards and battle against each other. The native token, RIA, is the main driving force behind the ecosystem and is used by players to purchase the Calvaria NFT cards as well as for staking and governance purposes.
Each of the cards featured in the game is an NFT which the players can buy and sell in the peer-to-peer marketplace. Players earn rewards in RIA when they win a battle. RIA can also be used for crypto staking and provides holders with a vote in the Calvaria DAO.
Just like Dash 2 Trade, Calvaria is wrapping up the presale. The token raised more than $2.5 million in the presale, ahead of the first exchange listings.
>>>Buy Calvaria Now<<<
IMPT.io is one of the new environmentally-focused crypto projects that is making waves in the market at the moment. It is the best blockchain and NFT-based project for purchasing, selling, and retiring carbon credits.
Through the platform, users can buy carbon credits to offset their carbon footprint. IMPT tokens can be converted to carbon credits and used to fund a number of international conservation projects. The project has already partnered with a multitude of brands and has experienced a successful presale despite the bear market.
After it raised $20.5 million in the presale, IMPT was listed on the first exchanges. ChnagellyPro and LBANK listed the coin, and its price exploded by 200% in 24 hours.
The newest listing on CoinGecko was confirmed, and the IMPT team is in talks with other exchanges and plans to list the token on seven exchanges in the upcoming month.
>>>Buy Impt Now<<<
ChiliZ enjoyed the upward pull of investors thanks to the fan token frenzy. It is essentially a digital currency for sports and entertainment, bringing with it a unique function where fans can interact with their favorite sports teams.
ChiliZ has already become popular with European football teams, as evidenced by the fact that both Juventus and AC Milan have produced fan tokens using this project. Fan tokens also provide supporters of clubs and teams with a tokenized share of influence on club decisions.
Hedera Hashgraph is a project that is on the IBM partner list of blockchain projects. It has helped IBM add interoperability for corporate blockchain networks that aim to seek the openness of public networks while retaining the anonymity of permissioned networks. The partnership with IBM has allowed Hedera to consistently deliver important technologies for corporate blockchain sustainability and improvement of capabilities.
Vechain is a blockchain-based supply chain platform that aims to create an ecosystem that solves common issues associated with the management of supply chains all over the world. It works to improve the affordability and efficiency of supply chains.

The cryptocurrencies mentioned above are currently very cheap but have the makings of becoming the next big thing in the market. Of these, RobotEra, Dash 2 Trade, IMPT.io, and Calvaria have the highest potential of exploding in value, thanks to their real-world utility, tokenomics, partnerships, and blockchain infrastructure.
If you are looking forward to building a powerful portfolio, then this is the right time to invest in these coins ASAP.

José Ivacy – Poetics of Time
Karla Osorio Gallery presents the solo show of the artist José Ivacy (MG/BR), presenting artworks from the last 30 years all using mainly wood and metal as support which are influenced by time passage. The curator is Bené Fonteles and the show occupies Galleries 1, 2, 3 Pavilion 1 and the open garden, with several outdoor sculptures.
According to the curator words, "the amalgamated wood by the force of time spurs the veiled color of the painting, it unveils in discret patina and holds its materiality alight, the clear texture, the energy of sun, rain and wind, providing it an angular poetics. The remarkable patina in the master and informal craftmanship, enlightens the artist, who transforms things and beings of Cerrado into his precise source to inaugurate with mastery, the reinvented form. The result is a daring sensitive geometry, in a profound dialogue with time passing over such matter which it is not only the support. It is also the symbiosis and the breeze of the color on the flatness. It is a relief granting a breath of the essential in order that the matter vibrates with a solid force, dancing at the same time with a vast delicacy. It scoops between the objects like cement and wood in a powerful conversation of architectural construction of "invisible cities" which touches us and retouches the infinite imagetic field. The cuttings José Ivacy makes in the wood and the way he incorporates/paints it with a singular purity exposes it to the merciless voracity of time. It is an experimental contribution of extreme liberty for us who fears the ephemeral and the impermanence, instead of taking advantage out of them. What we learn is a unique constructive project in this works, outside and inside of any exhibition premise, unique and transcendental rare contributions as did Celso Renato, Emanuel Nassar and Marcone Moreira. Artists who know what it's like to fear the ownership and the "time king", transformer and transmuter. From the form they exploit its deconstruction and reinvent themselves, reinventing the painting so it doesn't fall into the formalist trap. Ivaçy releases the painting as an object with extreme courage and boldness, making out of the time and matter a Unity in Poetry".
José Ivacy (MG/BR) – Was born in 1962 from Morada Nova/MG, since the 80's he works intensively with artworks that have artcraft characteristics in to it and the manipulation of a diverse range of materials, mainly wood and metals. In his paintings and objects, we perceive a complex set of geometric and organic forms, wandering its own path in the grounds of inventiveness. He participated of many group shows in Brasilia and more recently he dedicates himself in his studio in Brasilia, where he lives and runs one of this artist projects, gallery ManOObra
José Ivacy – Poetics of time (Galleries 1, 2, 3 Pavilion 1 and open garden)
Opened until November 20th.
Monday to Friday, 9AM-6:30PM | Saturday 10AM to 2PM, always upon booking

The BILSTEIN B4 air suspension module: the only fully functional air suspension module – offering uncompromising OE quality.
The original quality makes the difference.
Our BILSTEIN B4 air suspension module is the only air suspension module on the market that provides full functionality for all active and passive systems.
Our uncompromising quality is the reason vehicle manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW trust in us.
We tweak your knowledge via custom training courses, installation videos, and downloads.
0% old parts. 0% risk for you!
An air suspension module experiences wear in all of its component parts. The remanufacturing (reworking of old parts)may present a reasonable and cost-saving alternative to new parts. This only applies if only single components of the part are actually subject to wear.
In the original BILSTEIN air suspension module, the delicate axial bellows of the air spring provide sensitive response and behavior over the road. In contrast, remanufactured air springs use a cross-ply bellows system – requiring a significantly higher rolling radius and wearing out much more quickly.
This cross-ply bellows of a remanufactured product intended for the Mercedes-Benz W220 cannot expand and collapse as it needs to. The original road performance can't be reduplicated, resulting in increased wear. There is no way to achieve the same sensitive suspension response that is obtained with axial bellows.
The BILSTEIN B4 air suspension module packs a new, high-end, OE-quality single-tube gas-pressure shock absorber. This helps preserve the original running characteristics and avoid additional damage resulting from irregular wear.
With remanufactured air suspension modules only the air spring is replaced. The old shock absorber remains. The mileage of the shock absorber is not traceable, which in exchange lead to demonstrably worse driving characteristics and in the event of damage can mean a risk for you!
The BILSTEIN B4 air suspension module mounts a new, fully functional electromagnetic control valve. This is the only way the original driving experience with the full spectrum of functionalities is preserved as if from day one, combined with the durability of a brand new part.
the electromagnetic control valve of a remanufactured air spring module may have already logged thousands of road miles If oil leaks occur as a result, the air suspension module and other parts lose their functionality. Only by replacing all wear components with a new module is full functionality of the entire air suspension system ensured.
Competing air suspension systems often come with a functionless electromagnetic control valve. By installing a seemingly cheaper part, you remove functionality of your customer's suspension and risk reducing driver safety.
Only BILSTEIN-made air suspension modules have working chambers that are always in line with the vehicle manufacturer's specifications. This helps reduce wear and optimises suspension performance.
A peculiarity of OE shock absorbers, amongst other things, lies in the electronic damping adjustment used in the monotube gas-pressure shock absorber for the Mercedes-Benz W220. Unlike many competitors, BILSTEIN uses OE shock absorbers in all examples of the B4 air suspension modules.
Competitor products utilize a passive twin-tube gas-pressure shock absorber without a control valve. In contrast, original equipment uses a high-performance BILSTEIN monotube gas-pressure shock absorber with electronic damping adjustment.
Unlike the competition, BILSTEIN only uses new and fully functional electromagnetic control valves. This helps preserve the vehicle's road safety, and customers get exactly the function they have chosen and paid for when they bought the vehicle.
Competing products often come without a control valve, meaning there is no electromagnetic damping adjustment. The electromagnets are only installed to simulate a functioning electronic controls to avoid check engine lights and fault codes.
For nearly 60 years, Mercedes-Benz and BILSTEIN have joined forces to develop state-of-the-art innovations in suspension systems - including the introduction of the first active air suspension module for the Mercedes-Benz S-Class W220.
To enhance the typical driving pleasure of a BMW platform, air suspension technology is employed in an increasing number of models. Currently BILSTEIN's OE replacement program includes applications for the BMW 5 Touring (E39), BMW 7 Series (E65, E66, E67) and BMW X5 (E53).
The air suspension of the Land Rover vehicles automatically adjusts to loads and can be elevated or lowered (e.g. in the Discovery S). We are particularly proud of our BILSTEIN B6 4600 air suspension module for the Land Rover Discovery III.
The X350 series was the first to feature an aluminum vehicle body and air suspension modules as standard for maximum comfort. Currently our OE replacement selection includes applications for the jaguar XJ models X350 and X358.
Porsche offers optional air suspension for the Macan and Cayenne models Our applications include the Cayenne 9PA and 92A series, as well as the Macan 95B and the latest Cayenne platform – the P0536.
The premium models VW Phaeton (3D_) and Touareg (7LA, 7L6, 7L7 und 7P5) can be fitted with optional air suspension modules and freely selectable driving programmes. BILSTEIN naturally provides replacement modules of uncompromising OE quality.
Air suspension systems with multiple modi are fitted as standard with all the latest Bentley models, such as the Bentley Continental Coupé (3W_) and the Bentley Continental Cabriolet (3W_).
The Audi Adaptive Air Suspension gives large models such as the Audi A6 or A8 a supple ride and a sporty ride at the same time. Our portfolio of replacement parts includes air suspension modules for the Audi Q7 (4L).
We gear you up for the change to ensure customer satisfaction also in the future.
informative theoretical units and permanent practical impressions, which benefit your customers daily in the form of a competent service and thus increase your sales in the long term.

Sword cuts, patience, and a powerful teacher.
I bought a sword last weekend. I hadn't planned on buying one, and I certainly hadn't been looking for one. We have been working a lot more with sword cuts in my martial arts class, and I have a nice white oak wooden sword. It's light weight, it's really pretty, and it serves it's purpose.
But last weekend my husband and I took a drive up to the mountains just to get out of town, even if it was only for a few hours. I was in the mood to go exploring, so we drove up to one of the popular mountain towns just to walk around and check out the shops.
We walked past a store front, and I said to my husband, "I have to go in here". He looked at me like I was crazy, but he followed me in the store anyway. It was a knife shop, exactly the type of store I would never enter. But when I walked in, I saw what had drawn me inside. Behind the counter were several swords on display. After handling a few of them, I knew which one was for me. It just felt right. And it was pretty.
I didn't even take it out of the case for three days. Cautious and careful by nature, I waited until I was at the Dojo and Sensei could help me and teach me a few things. Handling a sword was a lot different from handling a wooden one. He did tell me that the blade was a little too sharp for training purposes and I needed to file it down. I thought he was being just a wee bit melodramatic, but I said okay. I knew I'd get around to it, eventually.
Two days later we had sword class. There were a lot of students, it was a bit chaotic, and we were moving a quickly through complicated patterns. Losing my focus for a split second, I was trying to sheath my sword in a hurry to catch up with the group and felt a sudden sharp burning pain in my wrist. Uh-oh. Sensei was right. The blade was too sharp. So much for care and caution.
That was at the beginning of class. I stopped long enough to wash the cut and put a big band aid on it. In the process of cleaning my wound I almost got stuck in the bathroom, because my sword was still in my belt at an awkward angle so my hands could be free. Thank goodness nobody witnessed that fiasco. I did have to ask one of the guys to help me with my band aid, which was demoralizing enough. If I needed help out of the bathroom, I never would have lived that down.
For the next hour and fifteen minutes, I practiced my sword cuts while the blood from my wrist saturated the band aid. I patiently listened to several of the guys giving me corrections all at the same time. I'm pretty good at taking directions, but only from two or three people at once. Any more than that and I go into sensory overload. But I smiled, bowed, nodded and thanked everyone for their help. Finally class was over. I put my sword away, took my notes and my throbbing wrist to my car, put my head on the steering wheel and burst out laughing.
I just couldn't help myself. And I couldn't stop laughing. The entire situation was simply too funny. The truth is, the reason why I love sword work is because the sword is a powerful teacher. It is honest; it always tells the truth and it never lies. I believe that I did not find the sword in the mountains that Saturday afternoon. The sword found me. It will continue to teach me patience, humility, honesty, integrity, truth, and humor. But I think I'm already good to go on that last one, don't you?


A dear friend of mine is having a baby so we threw her a co-ed baby shower. Many ideas came to mind, but a BabyQ was only fitting because 1. it was the middle of summer (and, boy was it HOT!) 2. we wanted to serve BBQ food and 3. it was something fun for majority of the guests being guys. We initially wanted to setup outside, but being it was 100+ outside, we had to stay in.
We kept the menu simple serving BBQ food; ribs, pork sliders, sausages, Macaroni salad and a baked potato bar. Everyone loved the idea of putting together their own fixings. As a favor, we gave our guests S'mores… so they can take s'more love home!

Where Was Marshall Filmed?
'Marshall' is a biographical film that centers around an early case that iconic lawyer and social activist Thurgood Marshall fought in 1941. The young NAACP lawyer went on to become the first African American Supreme Court Justice. In the movie, he takes on the case of the State of Connecticut v. Joseph Spell, in which the defendant, an African American man, is accused of rape by his employer.
The film follows the case in detail and attempts to faithfully recreate the socio-political climate of the 1940s, which further makes the case all the more important and daunting. The film's detailed period aesthetic provides a fitting backdrop to the weighty subject matter and makes for an intriguing watch. If you're curious about where 'Marshall' was filmed, we've got the story.
Marshall Filming Locations
'Marshall' was primarily filmed in the state of New York, although some scenes were also shot in the city of Los Angeles, California. The movie is set mainly in Connecticut, where the trial is held. Principal photography commenced in mid-December 2015 with some initial filming in California, after which the production team moved to New York. Filming in the Western New York area reportedly wrapped up on July 1, 2016. Let's take a closer look at the specific filming locations that have been used.
The city of Buffalo in New York was extensively used to give the film its vintage aesthetic. The city boasts of a wide variety of period architecture that gave the filmmakers a suitable backdrop for the film. Buffalo stands in for the city of Bridgeport, Connecticut, where the majority of the movie is set.
Filming took place in multiple locations of Buffalo, including Buffalo City Hall at 65 Niagara Square, Michael J. Dillon Memorial United States Courthouse on 68 Court Street, and Delaware Park on Meadow Drive. The Buffalo Central Terminal at 495 Paderewski Drive features in the film. It has been undergoing renovation and restoration work for a long time following years of abandonment. So, the production team had to work extensively on the venue to give it the movie makeover.
You might also recognize The Buffalo Club as a filming site; it is located on 388 Delaware Avenue. Additionally, Statler City's Niagara Room (the former Rendezvous the Niteclub), a wedding venue on 107 Delaware Avenue, stands in for Minton's Playhouse in Harlem.
Erie County, New York
The production crew used multiple locations in Erie County, New York, most notably the Daemen College in Amherst. A building owned by the college was used to depict Eleanor Strubing's home, where filming reportedly took place on the first and second floors. Moreover, exterior shots of the building also appear in an important scene in the movie.
The house is reportedly the presidential residence of Daemen College and is seemingly located near the college campus on Main Street. Sources revealed that adjustments were made to the house to give it an accurate 1940s feel for the purpose of filming. In addition, the town of Orchard Park in Erie County was briefly used for filming. Some important sequences at the reservoir were filmed on the Parkview Bridge in Akron Falls Park.
The Niagara Falls Public Library on 8728 Buffalo Avenue in the town of Niagara Falls, as well as the Genesee County Courthouse on 1 West Main Street in the city of Batavia, were used for additional lensing.
Filming also seemingly took place in Los Angeles, California, in the early days of production and most likely included studio filming. The filming resources found in Los Angeles are some of the best in the world. The production crew likely got most of their studio and off-location scenes shot in Los Angeles before heading to New York to shoot sequences that required period architecture.

… the plaintiff did not seek to impose liability on Domino's for failure to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0, private industry standards for website accessibility. Rather, an order requiring compliance with WCAG 2.0 was a possible equitable remedy.
As advocates for web accessibility, we'll be interested to to see what ultimately happens now that the case has been referred back to the lower court for further ruling as the ultimate result could set a precedent. With that in mind, Dominos' site is not the only one that has attracted scrutiny. Beyonce's official website had a class action suit filed against it in early January with the claim that it violated the ADA by denying visually impaired end users equal access to its products and services. The suit was brought on by a blind woman who could not browse Beyonce.com nor make online transactions on the site without the help of a sighted assistant.
As it turns out these types of lawsuits are on the rise. According to the National Law Review, there's a trend of class action lawsuits against company websites allegedly in violation of the ADA in 2019. This corroborates a report by a leading provider in digital accessibility and usability that shows a 181% increase in ADA web accessibility lawsuits in 2018 from 2017. Case in point: a blind man sued 50 colleges in November 2018 over violations of accessibility on their websites.
In a perfect world, no one would have to be compelled by the court to ensure their website is accessible, but if there is one thing that GDPR has taught us, threat of legal repercussions can be a convincing motivator when prioritizing accessibility amongst other product efforts. We believe it is vitally important that as an industry we rethink our design/development processes to include accessibility as a first class citizen from the start, instead of an afterthought, much as we have done with website performance.

Fleabag's Andrew Scott to Star in Showtime's Tom Ripley Adaptation
By Dave Nemetz / September 25 2019, 1:19 PM PDT

Will Fleabag Get a Season 3? Phoebe Waller-Bridge Says 'The Story Is Complete,' Even After Big Emmy Wins
Viola Davis to Play Michelle Obama in Showtime Drama First Ladies
Fleabag's "hot priest" is striking while the iron is hot: Andrew Scott has signed on to play the title role in Ripley, Showtime's upcoming adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's Tom Ripley novels.
Scott will play Tom Ripley, a grifter who is barely scraping by in 1960s New York when he's hired to travel to Italy to retrieve a wealthy man's son. "Tom's acceptance of the job is the first step into a complex life of deceit, fraud and murder," per the official synopsis. Ripley will cover five of Highsmith's novels — including The Talented Mr. Ripley, which inspired the 1999 Matt Damon film — with Steven Zaillian (The Night Of) serving as writer and director of all eight episodes.
"We are so thrilled to have the supremely talented filmmaker, Steve Zaillian, adapt the singular saga of Tom Ripley from Patricia Highsmith's novels as an ongoing series for Showtime," entertainment president Gary Levine said in a statement. "With Andrew Scott, whose charisma knows no bounds, inhabiting the iconic lead role, we feel confident that this will be a special one."
Earlier this year, Scott co-starred alongside Phoebe Waller-Bridge as the alluring priest in Season 2 of the Amazon comedy Fleabag, which just took home a number of Emmys, including one for Outstanding Comedy Series. Prior to that, he played villain Moriarty opposite Benedict Cumberbatch on PBS' Sherlock, a role that won him a BAFTA Award in 2012. Scott also starred in the Black Mirror Season 5 episode "Smithereens."

A faint twinge of excitement floated through my body that night. A hint of anticipation of the coming day could not be suppressed; yet to be overcome with anxiety would not do at all. I arduously forced those pernicious thoughts from seeping in and overcoming my body and mind. I still wonder that I slept at all that night.
But I did. I slept soundly and comfortably as those nervous deliberations crept into my defenseless, unsuspecting mind, pilfering my calm composure. When I awoke refreshed, I found my mind swarming with jumbled exhilaration. The adrenaline was flowing already.
After a quick breakfast, I pulled some of my gear together and headed out. The car ride of two hours seemed only a few moments as I struggled to reinstate order in my chaotic consciousness and focus my mind on the day before me. My thoughts drifted to the indistinct shadows of my memory.
My opponent's name was John Doe. There were other competitors at the tournament, but they had never posed any threat to my title. For as long as I had competed in this tournament, I had easily taken the black belt championship in my division. John, however, was the most phenomenal martial artist I had ever had the honor of witnessing at my young age of thirteen. And he was in my division. Although he was the same rank, age, size, and weight as I, he surpassed me in almost every aspect of our training. His feet were lightning, and his hands were virtually invisible in their agile swiftness. He wielded the power of a bear while appearing no larger than I. His form and techniques were executed with near perfection. Although I had never defeated his flawlessness before, victory did not seem unattainable. For even though he was extraordinary, he was not much more talented than I. I am not saying that he was not skilled or even that he was not more skilled than I, for he most certainly was, but just not much more than I. I still had one hope, however little, of vanquishing this incredible adversary, for John had one weakness: he was lazy. He didn't enjoy practicing long hours or working hard. He didn't have to. Nevertheless, I had found my passage to triumph.
My mind raced even farther back to all my other failures. I must admit that my record was not very impressive. Never before had I completed anything. I played soccer. I quit. I was a Cub Scout. I quit. I played trumpet. I quit. Karate was all I had left. The championship meant so much because I had never persevered with anything else.
In the last months, I had trained with unearthly stamina and determination. I had focused all my energies into practicing for this sole aspiration. Every day of the week I trained. Every evening, I could be found kicking, blocking, and punching at an imaginary opponent in my room. Hours of constant drilling had improved my techniques and speed. All my techniques were ingrained to the point where they were instinctive. Days and weeks passed too swiftly. . . .
I was abruptly jolted back into the present. The car was pulling into the parking lot. The tournament had too quickly arrived, and I still did not feel prepared for the trial which I was to confront. I stepped out of the car into the bright morning sun, and with my equipment bag in hand, walked into the towering building.
The day was a blur. After warming up and stretching, I sat down on the cold wooden floor, closed my eyes, and focused. I cleared my mind of every thought, every worry, and every insecurity. When I opened my eyes, every sense and nerve had become sharp and attentive, every motion finely tuned and deliberate.
The preliminary rounds were quiet and painless, and the championship fight was suddenly before me. I could see that John looked as calm and as confident as ever. Adrenaline raced through my body as I stepped into the ring. We bowed to each other and to the instructor, and the match began.
I apologize, but I do not recall most of the fight. I do faintly remember that when time ran out the score was tied, and we were forced to go into Sudden Death: whoever scored the next point would win. That, however, I do recall.
I was tired. The grueling two points that I had won already had not been enough. I needed one more before I could taste triumph. I was determined to win, though I had little energy remaining. John appeared unfazed, but I couldn't allow him to discourage me. I focused my entire being, my entire consciousness, on overcoming this invincible nemesis. I charged. All my strenuous training, every molecule in my body, every last drop of desire was directed, concentrated on that single purpose as I exploded through his defenses and drove a solitary fist to its mark.
I was not aware that I would never fight John again, but I would not have cared. Never before had I held this prize in my hands, but through pure, salty sweat and vicious determination, the achievement that I had desired so dearly and which meant so much to me was mine at last. This was the first time that I had ever really made a notable accomplishment in anything. This one experience, this one instant, changed me forever. That day I found self-confidence and discovered that perseverance yields its own sweet fruit. That day a sense of invincibility permeated the air. Mountains were nothing. The sun wasn't so bright and brilliant anymore. For a moment, I was the best.
What I like about this essay from the point of view of an admission officer is that I am convinced that the change in attitude described by the author is real. I do believe that he will carry with him forever the hard-won knowledge that he can attain his goals, that perseverance and hard work will eventually allow him to succeed in any endeavor. This is an important quality to bring to the college experience. Especially when considering applications to prestigious institutions, the admission committee will want to feel sure that the applicants understand the need for hard work and perseverance. Many times the strongest-looking applicants are students for whom academic success has come so easily that the challenges of college come as a shock. I always like hearing stories like this, of students who know what it means to struggle and finally succeed.
Struck with sudden panic, I hastily flipped through the many papers in my travel folder until I spotted the ticket. I nervously thrust it toward the beaming stewardess, but took the time to return her wide smile. Before stepping into the caterpillar tunnel I looked back at my parents, seeking reassurance, but I sensed from their plastered-on grins and overly enthus-iastic waves that they were more terrified than I. I gave them a departing wave, grabbed my violin case, and commenced my first solitary journey.
Seated in the plane I began to study the pieces I would soon be performing, trying to dispel the flutterings in my stomach. I listened to some professional recordings on my Walkman, mimicking the fingerings with my left hand while watching the sheet music.
"Where ya goin'?" smiling businessman-seatmate interrupted.
"To the National High School Orchestra," I answered politely, wanting to go back to the music. "It's composed of students chosen from each state's All-State ensemble." After three days of rehearsal, the orchestra would be giving a concert at a convention center in Cincinnati. I focused back on the music, thinking only of the seating audition I would have to face in a few hours.
Soon all of the performers received an audition schedule, and we went rushing to our rooms to practice. I had an hour until my audition, and repeated the hardest passages ad nauseam. When my time finally came, I flew up to the ninth floor and into the dreaded audition room. Three judges sat before a table. They chatted with me, futilely attempting to calm me. All too soon they resumed serious expressions, and told me which sections to perform. They were not the most difficult ones, but inevitably my hands shook and sweated and my mind wandered. . . .
I felt giddy leaving the audition room. The immense anxiety over the audition was relieved, yet the adrenaline still rushed through me. I wanted to yell and laugh and jump around and be completely silly, for my long-awaited evaluation was over. After dinner the seating list would be posted and I would know just where I fit in with the other musicians, all of whom intimidated me by their mere presence at the convention.
Solitary, having been unable to find [name] or any of my three roommates, I entered the dining room. I glanced feverishly around the giant room which swarmed with strangers.
I gathered up all of my courage and pride for the first time ever, and approached a group I had no preconceived notions about. I sat quietly at first, gathering as much information as I could about the new people. Were they friend material? After careful observation of their socialization, I hypothesized that these complete strangers were very bright and easy to talk to, and shared my buoyant (but sometimes timid), sense of humor. I began to feel at home as we joked about S.A.T.'s, drivers' licenses, and other teenage concerns. I realized then how easy it is to get along with people I meet by coincidence. I became eager to test my newfound revelation.
The flutterings returned to my stomach when I approached the seating lists which everyone strained to see. "I knew it; I got last chair," I heard someone announce. My flutterings intensified. I located the violin list and scanned for my name from the bottom up. My tender ego wouldn't let me start at the top and get increasingly disappointed as I read farther and farther down. "There I am, seventh seat. Pretty good out of twenty," I thought. . . .
Every day at the convention seemed long, only because we did so many wonderful things. We rehearsed for at least seven hours each day, made numerous outings, and spent time meeting new friends.
On the second day, during a luncheon boat ride on the Ohio River, [name] and I sat together, both dreaming of Japan. Looking over at her as we talked, I remembered that in two days I would be torn from the young, promising friendships I had been building. When some friends-including a few I had met at the dinner table on the first night-approached us, bearing a deck of cards, I became absorbed in a jovial game and quickly forgot my sorrow.
Rehearsals were magical right from the start, because everyone rapidly grew accustomed to the strangely professional sound of the group and began to play without reserve, with full dynamics. I continually gazed, wide-eyed, around the large, bright room, watching others, admiring their skill. We were surrounded by pure talent, and the sky was our limit. We blossomed under the conductor's suggestions, using our pre-developed technique to its fullest.
Each time the orchestra played, my emotion soared, wafted by the beauty and artfulness of the music, bringing goose-bumps to my skin and a joyful feeling to my soul. I felt the power of the group-the talent and strength of each individual-meld into a chorus of heavenly sound. I was just where I wanted to be. I had everything I'd ever need. I was no longer doubting myself among strangers; I was making music with friends.
This essay contains a good example of wowing the committee with a good closing sentence. Last lines are usually hard to manage. However, this essayist does a great job with hers, and the panel definitely noticed.
The last sentence of the essay is wonderfully composed.
The last line of this essay captures what I think are the two strong points of this piece. First of all, the author is an accomplished musician. No matter what sort of institution you are applying to, be it a music program, a liberal arts university, or a technical institution, strong musical ability will always be a big plus with the admission committee. This is because they know that proficiency in music requires self-discipline, a desire to improve and a willingness to learn. If you have achieved a notable level of accomplishment in some area of music, and have also succeeded in maintaining good grades, it tells an admission officer that you can manage your time well and set your priorities. The second strong point of this essay is the author's description of how she made friends and became completely immersed in appreciating and enjoying the entire experience. This tells an admission officer that she will almost certainly take to the college experience the same way, that she will overcome initial shyness, throw herself into a new situation, and soon extract every ounce of pleasure and personal growth from the experience. She will certainly be an asset to the incoming class.
Good essay, well written and heartfelt.
This was a nice essay. The writer took her time to formulate her ideas about this experience and was keen to stay focused on telling her story succinctly. She took this very important opportunity in her life and was able to tell the reader a vivid account without overdoing it.


I have fallen in love with San Francisco. The energy and life is everywhere. You can see the history in the old buildings, cracked pavements, and confusing streets. There is amazing food everywhere and you can usually see the ocean or the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance.
I live for discovering and experiencing new things. Right now I have so much to explore. I want to continue to explore this city and see all that it has to offer. I want to meet new people and understand their perspective, so I can broaden my own. Lastly, I want to learn more about myself.
The past two weeks I have had the pleasure of working with Linda Ning Jia. She is an amazing photographer with a great eye and artistic vision. I have had so much fun collaborating on projects with her. Be sure to follow her @nn_linda and check out her website jia-ning.com.

Breaking into a particular writing market can be difficult. One thing that can help you break in is to establish a good relationship with an editor. To build such a relationship, you have to get an editor to notice you for the right reasons. The right reasons include more than just being able to write well; they include being professional and cooperative in your dealings with editors. The following steps offer advice in how to get noticed by an editor for these qualities.
Read and follow the publication submission guidelines. Publications create submission guidelines to make it easier on both writers and editors. By reading and following the guidelines, you're producing work that the publication is looking for, making it easier on you as a writer, in a format that its editors can more easily vet for suitability and quality.
Most publications with an Internet presence offer their submission guidelines on their websites. For those that don't, you can obtain the guidelines by writing to the publication at the address given.
If you blog, consider writing your blog posts according to the guidelines of the publication you plan to submit to. You can then invite the editor to review your posts at the time you contact him or her. Not only will the posts show your expertise in the subject, but by matching the publication's style, it makes it easier for the editor to see how your work will fit with the publication.
Develop a working understanding of the publication's audience. While the submission guidelines often provide a short description of the publication's target audience, you should try to gain a better understanding by reading at least a single issue of that publication and possibly also issues of competing publications. If you can show how your submission will benefit the publication's readers, you stand a better chance of getting noticed by an editor than by filling your correspondence with flattery or big words.
This working understanding should also include an understanding of the publication's necessary lead time for seasonal material. You'll gain an editor's notice and respect if you learn to anticipate when a publication needs certain material to run in the spring, summer, fall, winter, or holiday seasons.
Develop and be able to pitch a number of ideas effectively. To be noticed by an editor, you need to develop your skill at pitching story or article ideas to him or her. You can do this through any of the methods listed below, but if you can master more than 1 of them, you stand a better chance of being noticed and accepted.
Query: In either letter or email form, this is the most common and often the best method to contact an editor. Your query should be focused on your story or article, your background that qualifies you to write it, and your relevant past writing experience.
Cold calling: If you're more extroverted than most writers typically are, you can pitch your ideas to editors over the telephone. You may find it frustrating to navigate through the publication's voice mail directory, but if you have several ideas ready, you can pitch 1 and then the other if the first is rejected. You can also use the telephone as a follow-up to a query or letter of introduction.
Networking: You can approach editors with your ideas and credentials directly at networking events. You may meet editors for local publications at events sponsored by local businesses or chambers of commerce and those for national publications at writer's conferences and conventions for fans of a particular genre, such as romance, mystery, or science fiction.
Play to your strength. You may be good at several forms of writing; however, because of the number of manuscripts editors may review, you stand a better chance of impressing them with your single strongest skill than a large number of good, but not great skills. If you know 1 subject better than anyone else, look to write about that subject first and foremost; if, in writing fiction, you excel in dialogue, write a story where the dialogue stands out.
If you, in fact, are very strong in several areas, then find other publications that play to those strengths and direct your strongest work in each area to the publication best suited to it.
Keep at it. None of the above steps are a magic formula to getting an editor to notice you or to get your work published. However, by persistently directing work of consistent quality, you will gain an editor's notice and respect and eventually see your work in print.
Address your correspondence to the right editor, by name. Small publications may have only a single editor, while larger publications may have an editor for each department in which they publish. Learning who the right editor is and addressing him or her by name will earn you that editor's notice and show you as a writer who cares about detail. Editors are listed under their publication's listing in the current "Writer's Market" or on the publication's website.
If you are looking for a specific editor's name on a publication website and it's not given, you can often derive the editor's email address by looking for the email address for one of the publication's other representatives. Note the format the identifier component of the email address is in; common formats are "Firstname.Lastname," "Firstname_Lastname," "InitialLastname," or "LastnameInitial." Generally, all email addresses for the same entity follow the same format, except when someone goes by his or her initials or when more than 1 person at the publication has the same first and last name. If you have any doubts as to who the right editor is, you can always ask them via Twitter, LinkedIn, or other social media connection.
Communicate in a professional tone. Although electronic communications such as email and instant messaging have made written communications easier and less formal than letters, you still need to maintain a professional tone. You can use "Hello" or "Hi" in your salutations, or even the "Dear" used in written letters, but not something like "Yo" or "What up, dude." You need to spell out every word correctly in your message; you can't get by with textspeak shorthand. You also need to follow the rules for capitalization and punctuation, unless you plan to market yourself to a poetry magazine as the next E.E. Cummings.
The professional tone should extend to your website and social media pages as well. If you make it a practice to include the URLs of your website and social media pages in your email signature, which you should, the content of those pages should be as well-written and professional as the content of your emails.
Be succinct and direct. Your correspondence with an editor should be focused and short. Queries should be about a page (5 to 6 paragraphs) in length, and letters of introduction running 1 to 2 pages, not including any accompanying referrals. Leave out any personal information that doesn't relate to your expertise as a writer in general or to the subject you plan to write about.
When communicating by email, make the subject line pertinent to the purpose of your email. While "Hello" is an appropriate salutation, it isn't specific enough for an email subject line. If your email is to introduce you to the editor, a better subject line would be "Interested in writing for [name of the publication]." If the email is a query, something like "Proposed article:" followed by either the subject you plan to write on or the title you have in mind.
Reply promptly to requests. Prompt replies show you as a writer the editor can depend upon with a time-critical assignment. If you don't have an answer right away, reply by saying that you don't have the answer but will have it by a certain time � and then deliver by that time, if not before.
Feel free to take the advice Scotty gives Geordi LaForge in the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episode "Relics" and deliberately quote a longer period of time (within reason) to deliver than what you think you actually need. You may well find you'll need that extra time, and as long as you deliver by the date you promised, no one needs to know that you can deliver in much less time than that.
Are there any websites that can edit my manuscript?
Yes, there are many. Websearch for "manuscript editorial service."
While actively targeting several publications and editors you want to get to notice you, join a few writing groups, either professional guilds or online groups such as those on LinkedIn.

Following Blackouts, California and PG&E Battle it Out
By William Atkinson
Published In November 2019
Following the unprecedented power blackout by PG&E during the week of Oct. 7 that affected almost 800,000 homes and businesses, up to a total of 2 million people in the state, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) issued a scathing letter to the utility on Oct. 14 and scheduled a special meeting on Oct.18 with PG&E to discuss the problems associated with the blackout and expectations for the future.
In the letter, CPUC President Marybel Batjer ordered PG&E to take a number of immediate corrective actions after it encountered significant problems with communication, coordination, and management during the state's largest Public Safety Power Shut-off (PSPS).
"Failure in execution, combined with the magnitude of this PSPS event, created an unacceptable situation that should never be repeated," said President Batjer. "The scope, scale, complexity, and overall impact to people's lives, businesses, and the economy of this action cannot be understated."
President Batjer and CPUC officials outlined seven major areas where immediate corrective actions are required.
accelerating the restoration of power with a goal of less than 12 hours
enhancing efforts to minimize the size and magnitude of future PSPS events
developing systems and protocols to ensure that public information through call centers and PG&E's website is available during high-volume critical times
establishing a more effective communication structure with county and tribal government emergency management personnel to allow for emergency personnel to receive support and information required to properly respond
improving processes and systems for distributing maps with boundaries to impacted counties and tribal governments that correspond to the latest PSPS impact information being provided
developing a list of existing and possible future agreements for on-call resources that can be called upon in case of an emergency
ensuring that PG&E personnel involved in PSPS response in Emergency Operations Centers are trained in California's Standardized Emergency Management System
Batjer also directed PG&E to perform and file a review of the incident by Oct.17 as well as file weekly updates until the concerns have been addressed.
During the Oct. 18 special meeting, PG&E stated, "We've made this decision a handful of times in the past couple of years, and unfortunately we will likely need to continue doing so in the near-term for the sake of public safety. So, we need to keep getting better at doing it. We need to make it as minimally disruptive as possible by making it more targeted and restoring power more quickly. We operate an electric system in a growing tinderbox."
PG&E also noted that it could take certain actions to minimize future disruptions, such as sectionalizing equipment, particularly on sub-transmission lines, using different materials to coat power lines, increasing vegetation management, and installing more microgrids in its system.

Modular Construction Gets a Reboot

Once experimental, modular construction could lower costs, meet tight schedules and reduce waste. Planned flagship projects—such as the AC Hotel New York NoMad in New York (the world's tallest at 21 modular floors)—illustrate where owners and builders want the construction industry to go.

No meeting of Celtic and Rangers is ever knowingly undersold in terms of intrigue and anticipation in the build-up.
Even last season's League Cup semi-final between them, despite a patently obvious gulf in class which was underlined by Celtic's facile 2-0 victory, held a degree of fascination as the first Old Firm showdown since Rangers' financial collapse in 2012.
As Ronny Deila's Scottish champions prepare to re-engage with an Ibrox outfit revitalised and significantly improved under Mark Warburton this season, the crucial sporting ingredient of uncertainty of outcome is back in the mix.
Celtic again merit their status as firm favourites to win tomorrow's Scottish Cup semi-final, albeit at much less restrictive odds than were on offer for last year's one-sided affair at Hampden.
But Rangers will line up at the national stadium with a collective belief among both their players and supporters that they are capable of winning, in stark contrast to 14 months ago when their minds were focused on minimising the margin of defeat.
It has been billed as a match which carries far greater significance to Deila than Warburton, with many regarding failure to defeat Rangers as a potential tipping point for the Celtic manager's job prospects beyond the end of this season.
The Norwegian remains typically phlegmatic on that front and, while he expects Rangers to represent a far stiffer test for his side this time, he is confident Celtic at their best will still prove too strong for the newly crowned Championship winners.
"It's a different team from the Rangers we played last year, they play in a different way," said Deila. "So that's why it's going to be a different game this time around.
"But, at the same time, it's a good game for us. I think it's going to be open and attacking, which is a good thing.
"I don't think the build-up has been so much more intense, personally, than it was last time. But yeah, maybe Rangers have bigger expectations than they had last year. That's because they've done better this season, obviously. That is something I understand.
While Warburton did not exactly attempt to downplay his ambitions of adding the Scottish Cup to the Championship and Petrofac Training Cup silverware his team have already claimed this season, he insists the task of closing the distance between Celtic and Rangers in terms of strength and quality will not begin in earnest until next season.
"If you were a neutral you'd think Celtic must have a stronger squad," said Warburton. "They are top of the Premiership, they've been in Europe for a number of years, and benefited accordingly, so they must have a stronger squad.
"That is not a derogatory statement by anyone, that is just a fact. They've got a squad packed with international players and I've said from the outset we are very respectful of that.
"We have played to a consistent level of performance all season, and we've got our rewards in terms of winning the league, and the Petrofac was a bonus of course. So we are in good shape. But the strongest squad undoubtedly is Celtic right now.
"Our job, our bigger picture job, is to make sure that on 2 August, when the Premiership season starts, we've closed the gap. That is the key. This game is great, and I'm not in any way reducing its significance, it's a cup semi-final. But the bigger picture has to be us gearing up for the new season.
Conventional wisdom suggests that midfield is the key area in defining the outcome of an Old Firm clash and there is no doubt that Celtic captain Scott Brown's experience and drive will be crucial for the favourites in that department, as will how newcomers to the fixture such as Andy Halliday and Jason Holt can handle the occasion.
But there is also a strong sense that the reliability of the respective defences could prove the deciding factor this time.
Deila reported that Danish centre-half Erik Sviatchenko has returned to training and should be available to line up in a back four which has not always been convincing this season.
Warburton has maintained faith in his combination of central defenders Rob Kiernan and Danny Wilson, flanked by full-back James Tavernier and Lee Wallace, all season but many observers believe it is a clearly vulnerable part of his team.
With Tavernier and Wallace encouraged to venture forward at every opportunity as part of Warburton's expansive style of play, Kiernan and Wilson can often be left exposed.
But Deila, whose most recent trip to watch Rangers in the flesh saw them surrender a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2 at Falkirk, does not expect Warburton to try to adapt to a more cautious strategy tomorrow.
If Celtic find their optimum form, they should prove too strong and experienced for Rangers. That said, unlike last year, it does not require such a vast leap of imagination to envisage the odds being overturned. The only real surprise this time would be if it is not far more keenly and genuinely contested.

Let me start by noting that, although Bluetooth technology has existed for quite some time now, it is not yet 100% mainstream when it comes to the average Joe's earphones. I give Jabra credit for creating a durable wireless headset that's also affordable, but users don't just buy headphones because they are tank-proof, we buy them for the pleasure of the music which we listen to… to be able to experience this pleasure even while doing smashing a hill or burning a lap… a pleasure scientifically proven to give us a performance advantage.
The box is quite cool, with Ironman athlete Craig Alexander on the front. The packaging has clean lines and the product looks professional on the shelf. Too-small a box would make me feel I am spending too much for too little, but too-big a box would evoke the marketing-averse-rebel in me. Jabra has got the first impression just right. The box contains a great "getting started" guide as well as a charger cable (USB only – no 220V adapter) and MANY rubber knobblies which you can use to customise the in-ear fit, all neon-yellow.
The right-earpice is where the magic happens. This earpiece contains a multi-function button as well as the volume button (which can be used to skip tracks or tune radio stations) as well as an FM button. The headphones' straightforward set of onboard controls and mini-USB charging port are all relegated to the right earpiece. The a multi-purpose key can be used for powering up and down, Bluetooth pairing, play/pause, answering and terminating phone calls, and even calling up Siri.
The headset is military-grade tested for durability and does feel premium in terms of build quality.
A nifty feature is a free three-month trial of the sports app Endomondo, which does work very well with these earphones.
Bluetooth works great when you do manage to pair the device. I got up to 15 meters distance between myself and my phone before it starts to distort. The problem is in the pairing though. I have found that on Windows Phone 8.1 and Android I have to "Forget" the device from my recent devices and re-pair in order to connect. On my Ipod touch (16GB) I am yet to successfully play music via Bluetooth. I manage to pair the devices, but the music transfer from Ipod to headphone evades me.
This is the part where I am going to put myself out there. The sound quality is really flat. Sure, the volume will blow your eardrums, but it's all treble. It might be because of the earbuds, although I tried them all, or because of the fact that these babies do not fit very snugly into your ear… Either which way, sorry to say guys, but if you are even a slight audiophile you will be disappointed. Unless you go jogging on Mozart, in which case your opinion does not matter.
Jabra has done well in terms of creating a very durable, practical product. The Bluetooth is great when it works, and not tangling in wires has its obvious benefits. The multi-function button works well and it is nice to even have the FM radio option, all packed into this little device. Thus, it comes down to choice and sacrifice. If you are all about convenience, this is the product for you… If you care more about the quality (as I do) of your music, and prefer not to suffer in silence, you will have to stay wired for the time being. I recommend giving a product in the Sennheiser suite a go, or even something in the Beats range – known for their BASS.

Isn't it great when it snows during the Christmas season? Hanging out with the family by the fire, listening to all of the holiday classics while sipping hot cocoa. Sadly (for some), the holidays are behind us and now we get to look forward to the deep freeze of winter in Massachusetts. Several times per year Massachusetts residents wake up to almost a foot of snow and before we brave those slippery, black ice riddled roads, we have to shovel and salt the driveway, sidewalks and stairs. The snow can make walking, driving and even parking more challenging (especially for Boston residents, I know I grew up in East Boston). Over the years, I've seen all types of things used to save parking spots including ladders, ironing boards, propane tanks and recently a large Dunkin Donuts stand-up poster of Rob Gronkowski eating a sandwich.
While most of our largest snowstorms in the past have hit us in February, on average, we see the most snow during the month of January, averaging 10 or more inches each year. If you follow the news, it sounds like this weekend will be our first real storm of the season. If at all possible, try to avoid the roads. If you have to drive, be safe. Take your time, thaw your car out as much as you can and clear your windows of snow and ice. While on the road, drive slowly and defensively, keep an eye out for pedestrians and disabled vehicles.

Erineus or Erineos (), also known as Erineum or Erineon (Ἐρινεόν) was a town and polis (city-state) in ancient Doris, one of the towns of the Doric Tetrapolis (along with Pindus, Cytinium, and Boium). According to Andron of Halicarnassus, the founders of these cities were coming from an area that was also called Doris, in Thessaly, and that was also called Histiaeotis. It is described by Strabo as lying below the town of Pindus; it probably stood upon the river of the latter name. Recounting the ships in the Battle of Salamis, Herodotus notes the contingents of the Peloponnese, saying that the Dorians and Macedonians were originally from Pindus, Erineus, and Dryopis. Thucydides writes that during First Peloponnesian War, about the year 458 or 457 BCE, the Phocians attacked the cities of Boium, Erineus and Cytinium in Doris. The Lacedemonians came to their defense, with troops commanded by Nicomedes of Sparta and forced the Phocians to retreat.

According to Tyrtaeus, Erineus is the town from which the Spartans originally came.

Its location within what is now the town of Kastellia (Καστέλλια), Greece.

Spain's Former King Juan Carlos Arrives in Abu Dhabi
Spain's ex-King Juan Carlos has reportedly arrived in the United Arab Emirates after leaving his home country amid a corruption investigation.
A photograph published by Spanish media group NIUS appears to show Juan Carlos arriving in Abu Dhabi.
The former king made the shock announcement on August 3 that he was leaving Spain.
He denies any wrongdoing and has said he would be available if prosecutors needed to interview him.
Juan Carlos' departure has sparked a huge debate in Spain about the monarchy and intense speculation about where the former king has gone.
Local reports said the former king had traveled to the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean or to Spain's neighbor, Portugal.
However, there are now reports Juan Carlos is occupying an entire floor at Abu Dhabi's five-star Emirates Palace hotel. He was reportedly close with Abu Dhabi's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan.
As yet however his location remains unconfirmed. Spain's royal family and government have so far declined to comment on his whereabouts.
Juan Carlos abdicated in 2014 after close to 40 years in power and handed power to his son Felipe.

King Juan Carlos of Spain comes under fire for hunting elephants in Botswana as his country drowns in debt
The king's decision to give up the throne came after a corruption investigation involving his daughter's husband and a controversial elephant hunting trip the monarch took during Spain's financial crisis.
The controversies however did not stop there. In June this year, Spain's Supreme Court launched an investigation into Juan Carlos's alleged involvement in a high-speed rail contract in Saudi Arabia, after the ex-king lost his immunity from prosecution following his abdication.
On August 3, Juan Carlos announced he was now leaving his home country in a letter to his son.
He wrote: "Guided by the conviction to best serve the people of Spain, its institutions, and you as king, I inform you of my decision at this time to leave Spain."
Juan Carlos said he made the decision "in the face of the public repercussions that certain past events in my private life are generating" and in the hope of allowing his son to carry out his functions as king with "tranquility".
A statement said King Felipe VI had conveyed "his heartfelt respect and gratitude" to his father for this decision.
Juan Carlos' departure has sparked a fresh debate about the role of the Spanish monarchy and the corruption allegations against the former king.
Catalonia's parliament – which is controlled by separatist parties who seek independence from Spain – voted in a non-binding motion on August 7 to condemn the monarchy after the ex-king's departure.
Regional president Quim Torra told lawmakers: "Neither Spaniards nor Catalans deserve such a loud and ridiculous scandal on an international scale."
There have also been demonstrations calling for Spain to become a republic again.
Spain last removed its monarchy in 1931 before a devastating civil war which ended with the victory of dictator Francisco Franco in 1939.
Catalonia Independence: King Felipe VI of Spain Says Referendum Organizers Put Themselves Outside the Law
In a rare TV address, King Felipe VI of Spain said Catalonia referendum's organizers put themselves "outside the law".
The king said the situation in Spain was "extremely serious", calling for unity.
Hundreds of thousands of people across Catalonia have been protesting over Spanish police violence during the vote, during which nearly 900 people were hurt.

According to local medical officials, during the vote, 33 police officers were also injured.
In his TV address to the nation, King Felipe said the Catalan leaders who organized the referendum showed their "disrespect to the powers of the state".
"They have broken the democratic principles of the rule of law."
"Today, the Catalan society is fractured," the king said, warning that the poll could put at risk the economy of the wealthy north-eastern region and the whole of Spain.
However, King Felipe stressed that Spain "will overcome difficult times".
Spain's central government has described the Catalan referendum as illegal.
Princess Cristina of Spain Loses Duchess of Palma Title
King Felipe VI of Spain has stripped sister Princess Cristina of her title as Duchess of Palma ahead of her tax fraud trial.
Infanta Cristina, who is to go on trial charged with tax evasion, was granted the Duchess of Palma de Mallorca title in 1997 when she married Inaki Urdangarin, a former Olympic handball player who is also accused of tax evasion.
Princess Cristina had asked King Felipe to remove her title, her lawyer said.
However, the royal palace said the king made the decision before seeing her request. Princess Cristina denies the tax fraud charges.
In the year since King Felipe, 47, succeeded his father, King Juan Carlos, to the throne, he has excluded Princess Cristina de Borbon and her husband, Inaki Urdangarin, who faces a wider array of corruption charges in the case, from the royal family's official functions.
Prosecutors in Palma de Mallorca have long been investigating the business dealings of Inaki Urdangarin.
Inaki Urdangarin stands accused with 15 others of embezzling 5.6 million euros ($6 million) of public money from the Noos Institute – a charitable sports foundation he ran with a business partner. Princess Cristina is accused of involvement in the alleged scam.
It is the first time in modern Spain's history that a member of the royal family has faced court cross-examination in a major corruption scandal.
Princess Cristina, 50, is the youngest daughter of former King Juan Carlos, who abdicated last year.
Princess Cristina of Spain faces tax fraud and money laundering charges
An investigating judge recommended that Princess Cristina of Spain, sister of King Felipe VI, be charged in a tax fraud and money laundering case that has helped inflame opposition to the monarchy.
Infanta Cristina, 49, was questioned in court in February about the business dealings of her husband, Inaki Urdangarin, and could now face trial.
However, an appeal has been lodged against the decision.
The judge's ruling will come as an embarrassment to Felipe VI, who came to the throne only six days ago.
The tax fraud case was one of several scandals that weakened the popularity of the Spanish monarchy and prompted the abdication of King Juan Carlos.
Princess Cristina's appearance in court in Mallorca was unprecedented for the royal family and if she goes to trial, she could face up to 11 years in jail.
Princess Cristina's appearance in court in Mallorca was unprecedented for the royal family and if she goes to trial
The investigating judge's decision is a major development in this investigation and a huge embarrassment for the Spanish royal family.
Judge Jose Castro believes Infanta Cristina knew more than she has let on regarding the allegedly corrupt activities of her husband, Inaki Urdangarin.
This inquiry has now lasted more than three years and during that time it has heavily eroded the popularity of the royal family. Princess Cristina has already appeared in court to testify, but the door is now open for her to face trial, which would take the scandal to a new level.
Judge Jose Castro has been investigating allegations that the princess's husband embezzled millions in public funds with a former business partner.
Inaki Urdangarin, who is the Duke of Palma, and Diego Torres were alleged to have received 5.6 million euros ($7.5 million) by overcharging regional governments for organizing sporting events as part of a not-for-profit organization called Noos.
Announcing his decision, Judge Jose Castro said the princess should be tried alongside her husband and other suspects.
Anti-corruption prosecutors had already opposed his decision to name Princess Cristina as a suspect, saying there was insufficient evidence against her. Prosecutor Pedro Horrach said on Wednesday an appeal was being lodged "because there is still no piece [of evidence] against" the princess.
A final decision on whether Princess Cristina should stand trial will be made by the provincial court at Palma de Mallorca.
Felipe VI proclaimed king of Spain
Felipe VI has been proclaimed king of Spain after the abdication of his father, King Juan Carlos, in a ceremony in parliament.
Earlier, King Felipe VI received the royal sash from his father, Juan Carlos, at the Zarzuela Palace near Madrid.
He acceded to the throne at the stroke of midnight after Juan Carlos formally abdicated on Wednesday.
Correspondents say the ceremonies have been kept low key, at a time when many in Spain are suffering economic hardship.
The ceremony takes the form of a proclamation rather than a coronation. It is the first royal transition in Spain since democracy was restored in the 1970s.

King Felipe VI, 46, swore an oath promising to uphold the constitution.
Congress President Jesus Posada then proclaimed him king, declaring: "Long live Spain! Long live the king!"
In a speech to parliament, King Felipe thanked his parents and said he had "great hope" for the future of Spain.
"You will find in me a loyal head of state who is ready listen and understand, warn and advise as well as to defend the public interest at all times," he said.
"The monarch wants to be close to citizens… ensuring it can preserve its prestige and dignity."
"Now more than ever, citizens of Spain are rightly demanding fundamental ethical principles should govern our public life. The king should not only be a reference but who serves all citizens of Spain."
No foreign leaders or royal families have been invited to the event.
King Felipe and his wife Letizia will later be driven through Madrid's streets before appearing on the front balcony of the Royal Palace.
Correspondents say the new king faces a series of tough challenges if he is to restore the reputation of the monarchy.
Although King Juan Carlos won plaudits for his role in restoring democracy, his image suffered when he went on a luxurious African elephant-hunting safari in the midst of a recession.
His reputation suffered further damage because of tax fraud allegations made against his daughter, Infanta Cristina, who is reported not to have been invited to the succession party.
At the same time many Spaniards are demanding a referendum on whether to have a monarchy at all.
A demonstration is scheduled to take place in central Madrid on Thursday, the same day as the enthronement, despite a ban imposed by authorities.

King Felipe VI: Spain's parliament backs royal succession
The Spanish parliament has backed the abdication of King Juan Carlos and accession of his son Crown Prince Felipe by a large majority.
The succession had the backing of both the ruling centre-right Popular Party and the opposition Socialist party despite some Socialist misgivings.
Radical leftists in the chamber had demanded a referendum.
Madrid and other cities have seen anti-monarchy rallies since King Juan Carlos, 76, announced on June 2 he would step down.
King Juan Carlos said he was abdicating after nearly 40 years on the throne to make way for a "new generation".
The government says parliament has to approve the transition as it requires a change in the 1978 constitution.
Referendum campaigners reacted furiously to the vote on Twitter, with the topic "We want to vote" quickly trending.

The bill was passed in Congress by 299 votes in favor to 19 against, and 23 abstentions.
It will now have to be approved by the upper house of parliament, the Senate, which is expected to vote on June 17. The prince is expected to be proclaimed King Felipe VI on June 19.
Opening the debate on Wednesday, PM Mariano Rajoy defended "the continuity of the institutions", saying the "form of the state " was not up for discussion.
"We are not here to modify facts but to underline with our bill that in Spain we rely on a resolutely democratic parliamentary monarchy," he said.
Opinion polls published at the weekend give a mixed picture of sentiment among Spaniards.
A poll for the centre-left daily El Pais suggested 62% of people wanted a referendum, while 49% would favor the continuation of the monarchy under Felipe, compared with 36% who would back a republic.
Another poll, for the centre-right El Mundo, suggested 55.7% backed the monarchy and 72.9% thought Felipe would make a good king.
Felipe will inherit the throne at a time when Spain is struggling with high unemployment and growing demands for independence for Catalonia.
For much of King Juan Carlos's reign, he was seen as one of the world's most popular monarchs, but recently many Spaniards lost confidence in him.
In part, a long-running corruption investigation into the business dealings of King Juan Carlos' daughter, Infanta Cristina, and her husband, Inaki Urdangarin, tarnished the monarchy's reputation.

In anticipation of tonight's finale of "The Real Housewives of New York City," I did a little digging in the archives of social exclusivity.
Around 1872, Caroline Webster Astor and a lawyer named Ward McAllister devised a list of New York's social elite -- necessary fixtures at any of her events. McAllister is rumored to have quipped that "only about 400 people in New York society" mattered, and, coincidentally, Mrs. Astor's ballroom could only accommodate about 400 guests. As a result, Mrs. Astor's 400, the social register of these worthy guests, was created. It was comprised of old money names; no new money millionaires who'd profited from the recent Industrial Revolution were included. In particular, Mrs. Astor is said to have "shunned" the Vanderbilts.
McAllister was the savvy party planner behind Mrs. Astor's legendary Patriarch Balls. In 1892, he offered The New York Times a copy of Mrs. Astor's 400 -- it listed only 309 names. Of course, we can't assume that the list remained static from the 1870s to the 1890s; after all, people got married, died, moved and fell from social grace.
People were clamoring to get on this list, and it even served as the template for Louis Keller's Social Register. Keller had been a publisher in the tabloid industry before cataloguing society's bankable best with directories that premiered in 1887 for $1.75. A later-generation social doyenne, Brooke Astor, endorsed this list in its heyday: "It used to be if someone wasn't listed, you just didn't know them."
But by the late 1990s, the Social Register was passe. The New York Times quoted society mavens who made such claims as, "The Fortune 500 list is infinitely more valuable." In today's financial climate, it's a safe bet that list is outmoded, too. According to some sources, it's more fashionable these days to hide your assets. After all, the socially elite aren't tacky -- and spending your money at luxury retailers when the economy's tanking could be construed as tacky.
But I'm not thumbing my nose at you, Jill Zarin. As far as I'm concerned, you can do no wrong -- your BBC interview notwithstanding.
Go handbag shopping with Jill and learn some childcare tips, too.
