*2: Splashdown results of the HTV Small Re-entry Capsule will be announced on the JAXA homepage.
Today, I would like to announce that the H-II Transfer Vehicle "KOUNOTORI7" (HTV7) has successfully completed its de-orbit maneuver and re-entered the atmosphere as planned.
After successfully docking to the ISS on September 28, 2018, "KOUNOTORI7" had stayed aboard the ISS for approximately 41days. While docked, resupply items and utilization cargo which are inevitable for ISS operations were transferred to the ISS, and after being loaded with trash material, the "KOUNOTORI7" had successfully re-entered the Earth atmosphere today. This marked the seventh consecutive mission success.
"KOUNOTORI", with its world's largest resupply capability to the ISS, owes a substantial role on the sustaining of ISS operations as a logistics vehicle. "KOUNOTORI7" became the heaviest resupply mission, carrying a total of approximately 6.2 tons of cargo. This includes the new ISS batteries using Japanese Lithium-Ion batteries, large experiment racks provided by U.S. and Europe, which are all large cargos that could only be transferred to the ISS by the "KOUNOTORI".
"KOUNOTORI7" had carried 3 CubeSats that were successfully deployed from the ISS and an experiment system which is currently being tested outside the "KIBO" to demonstrate highly efficient heat dissipation technology which is planned to be used on JAXA's Engineering Test Satellite-9 (ETS9).
In addition, fresh food from various prefectures in Japan such as Hokkaido, Miyagi, Okayama, Ehime and Saga were brought to the ISS kept fresh, although the launch of "KOUNOTORI7" was delayed for approximately 2 weeks.
Momentarily, we will be recovering the HTV Small Re-entry Capsule after its splashdown in the ocean. Towards the goal to acquire Japan's first cargo recovery capacity from the ISS, the Small Re-entry Capsule will be demonstrating its guided lift flight capabilities that will enable the capsule to descent under reduced G-forces, as well as its heat protection capability of the ablator while its re-entry into the atmosphere. We expect that these efforts will lead to securing flexibility in our future space flight activities.
Lastly, I would like to express my appreciation to all of the organizations concerned, both domestic and overseas and to the people of Japan, as well as the extended support on the HTV Small Re-entry Capsule technical demonstration mission.

Far far away, behind the word
vapour around me, and the meridian sun strikes the upper surface of the impenetrable foliage of my trees, and but a few stray gleams steal into the inner sanctuary, I throw myself down among the tall grass by the trickling stream; and, as I lie close to the earth, a thousand unknown plants are noticed by me: when I hear the buzz of the little world among the stalks, and grow familiar with the countless indescribable forms of the insects and flies, then I feel the presence of the Almighty, who formed us in his own image, and the breath of that universal love which bears and sustains us, as it floats around us in an eternity of blist.
They live in Bookmarksgrove
The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli, but the Little Blind Text didn't listen. She packed her seven versalia, put her initial into the belt and made herself on the way. When she reached the first hills of the Italic Mountains, she had a last view back on the skyline of her hometown Bookmarksgrove, the headline of Alphabet Village and the subline of her own road, the Line Lane. Pityful a rethoric question ran over her cheek, then she continued her way. On her way she met a copy. The copy warned the Little Blind Text, that where it came from it would have been rewritten a thousand times and everything that was left from its origin would be the word "and" and the Little Blind Text should turn around and return to its own, safe country.
its own, safe country. But nothing the copy said could convince her and so it didn't take long until a few insidious Copy Writers ambushed her, made her drunk with Longe and Parole and dragged her into their agency, where they abused her for their projects.
The Big Oxmox advised her
Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they
Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named.

The Atlantic Politics & Policy Daily: Trump's 92 Million Dollar Baby
Trump's November military parade will reportedly cost $92 million, $80 million more than initially estimated.

Today in 5 Lines
Omarosa Manigault Newman, a former aide to President Trump, released a recording of Lara Trump offering her $15,000-a-month job after she was fired from the administration. Manigault Newman told NBC the offer was an attempt "to buy my silence."
In a blistering op-ed for The New York Times, former CIA Director John Brennan called Trump's claims of no collusion "hogwash" and said Trump revoked his security clearance to scare "others who might dare to challenge him."
Jurors began their deliberations in the fraud trial of former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort.
Trump criticized the "fake news media" as being "the opposition party" after hundreds of newspapers around the country published editorials condemning his attacks on the press.

HomePod Now Shipping in Canada, France and Germany
on June 18, 2018 at 12:00 pm
Apple HomePod is now shipping in Canada, France and Germany just about a year after the product was first announced and four months after it first became available in the U.S., U.K. and Australia. Pricing in France and Germany is set at €349. That is equivalent to about US$405. HomePod's retail price in the U.S. is US$349 so the device is selling at a premium in France and Germany.
HomePod Canada is English-only for Now
Pricing for Canada is C$449 which is is about US$10 less than the U.S. model. Also, HomePod in Canada today is only shipping with English language support. A note on the Apple.com/ca website says that French language support will come later this year despite the fact that it is already supported in France. The English-only rollout highlights that having language recognition is not sufficient. The automated speech recognition (ASR) must be adjusted country-by-country to support language variations and the natural language understanding (NLU) must be tuned to account for cultural differences.
When Amazon Echo went on sale in France earlier this month, a company spokesperson said Canadian users could set French as their default language but the device would be localized to France. The same is likely true of the HomePod as you can set your preferred language. Below is the current country and language localization availability of smart speakers from Amazon, Apple and Google.

North Korea says US bomber flights signal pre-emptive nuclear strike – Coercion Code – "Dark Times are upon us"
North Korea is accusing the United States of pushing the Korean peninsula to the brink of nuclear war after a pair of strategic US bombers flew over the area in a training drill with the South Korean air force.
The two supersonic B-1B Lancer bombers were deployed amid rising tensions over North Korea's dogged pursuit of its nuclear and missile programs in defiance of United Nations sanctions and pressure from the United States.
The flight of the two bombers on Monday came as US President Donald Trump said he was open to meeting North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in the appropriate circumstances, even though Pyongyang suggested it would continue with its nuclear tests.
North Korea could have a 10-kiloton weapon capable of striking the US west coast and killing 100,000 people within four years, according to a former CIA officer.
South Korean Defence Ministry spokesman Moon Sang-gyun told a briefing in Seoul that Monday's joint drill was conducted to deter provocations by the North and to test readiness against another potential nuclear test.
North Korea said the bombers conducted "a nuclear bomb-dropping drill against major objects" in its territory at a time when Mr Trump and "other US warmongers are crying out for making a pre-emptive nuclear strike" on the North.

Egypt: Protesters Call for Destruction of Enemies
The anti-Israel protesters in Egypt not only called to cancel the peace agreement but also called for the destruction of the Jews.
Elad Benari, Canada
Protests Egypt-Israel
The demonstrators who gathered for protests outside the Israeli Embassy in Cairo on Friday not only called for the cancellation of Egypt's peace agreement with Israel and for the expulsion of the Israeli Ambassador, but also called for the destruction of the Jews.
The protesters shouted the following:
"Jews, remember the Battle of Khaybar (an oasis north of Medina which was inhabited by Jews who were murdered by the forces of Muhammad –ed.), the Army of Muhammad is already here"; "Oh Zionists, please be patient, there's an Egyptian digging your grave,"; and "There is no god but Allah, Zionism is the enemy of Allah and so are the Americans".
The protesters also demanded to "open the borders (for Jihad) to the Egyptian people."
While the protests were far short of a "million man protest," as was originally called for, hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside the Israeli Embassy in Cairo. The turnout was far short of what organizers had hoped for perhaps because the Muslim Brotherhood announced its Freedom and Justice Party would not be participating in the demonstrations.
The protests came amid tensions following the deaths of three Egyptian security officers apparently shot inadvertently by IDF troops pursuing the terrorists who carried out last week's lethal terror attack near Eilat that left eight Israelis dead.
The website of the Egyptian daily Al-Masry Al-Youm reported Friday that thousands of Egyptians had protested against Israel in the six different governorates.
According to the protest, about 300 residents of Alexandria participated in a demonstration outside Leader Ibrahim mosque after Friday prayers. The protest then turned into a march which headed toward the Israeli Consulate in the Kafr Abdu neighborhood.
Another protest took part in Sharm el-Sheikh, said the report, with hundreds holding banners demanding a serious investigation into the incident and the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador.
The incident was also protested by dozen of youths in Suez.

why is there sudden jump in value after 32767 any explanations??
I am using linux(32 bit) os.

A: Signed integer overflow is undefined behavior. Your program pushes i beyond the bounds of what can be stored in a short, so the program is free to do absolutely anything.

A: A signed short ranges from -32768 to 32767 and an unsigned short ranges from 0 to 65535. So you are exceeding data size for signed int short.

The unemployment rate in the US is nearing 10 percent - that's more than a 5 percent rise from pre-crisis figures. The data was published in the Labor Department unemployment report.
Job creation had primarily been coming from the federal government, and these were temporary jobs that are now being lost. A hundred and fourteen thousand of them were shed in August.
There are several negative economic conditions that are causing small- and medium-size businesses to continue to shed jobs. In addition, there have been job losses in industries, such as manufacturing and construction, that the US really relied on and which many economists believe are not coming back.
They believe these jobs have been lost permanently and that could be one of the reasons why the unemployment rate has been above 9 percent for the last 16 months.
Economist Max Fraad Wolff from New York claims the real figures are worse.
Speaking on the approaching mid-term elections, Wolf emphasized that Obama's administration has little time left to change the situation.

Nevada's Caucus Could Implode Like Iowa: 'They Were Handed a Complete Shit Sandwich'
LAS VEGAS — Nevada's Democratic caucuses begin Saturday, and no one seems quite certain how — or if — things are going to work. As they watched Iowa's caucuses melt down last week, Nevada Democrats made the quick decision to scrap an app designed by the now-notorious Shadow, Inc, whose technology failed on election night…
LAS VEGAS — Nevada's Democratic caucuses begin Saturday, and no one seems quite certain how — or if — things are going to work.
As they watched Iowa's caucuses melt down last week, Nevada Democrats made the quick decision to scrap an app designed by the now-notorious Shadow, Inc, whose technology failed on election night and left Iowa Democratic officials unable to provide vote and delegate counts for days.
That decision solved one problem — but it created a bigger one. Nevada spent the better part of a year planning out an even more complex process than Iowa around the app, including the release of multiple results (like Iowa) as well as a system to include four days of in-person early voting with those results then relayed back to voters' original caucus sites to be included in same-day caucus vote totals.
With early voting starting Saturday and the official caucuses just over a week away on Feb. 22, the party is scrambling to design a functional caucus system in less than three weeks.
"We've been put in a difficult situation," said a source with the Nevada Democratic Party. "What was once a backup plan is now our main plan and now we're having to develop additional backup plans and test them. We're working around the clock to make sure what happened in Iowa doesn't happen in Nevada."
It doesn't help that Nevada is trying to pull off perhaps the most complicated statewide caucus ever attempted.
READ: Here's Nevada's plan to save its caucus from catastrophe
Like Iowa, Nevada Democrats will for the first time release not one but three sets of numbers: Who caucus goers backed in the first round of voting, who they supported in the second round after candidates who don't reach 15% of the vote in the first round are eliminated from contention at each caucus site, and a third number which actually calculates how many delegates each candidate gets. That created major problems in Iowa when glaring math mistakes by precinct captains, once kept private, were exposed for all to see.
But that's not even the hard part. The Nevada Democratic Party is allowing early voting for the first time.
That's a good pro-democracy reform — it if works. But counting those early votes is harder than it sounds. Those votes have to be tabulated back to the caucus sites where they would have voted on caucus day, and early voters' second, third, and even fourth or fifth choices will have to be taken into account in case their top candidate doesn't reach the 15% threshold required to receive delegates at those sites.
The early voting part was enabled by the Shadow app, which Nevada scrapped last week and replaced with a Google form on party-issued iPads.

'Time is running out'
After Iowa, Nevada Democrats know failure is not an option.
"It's been complicated from the beginning — we're trying to be more transparent, be more accessible, and bring in more people. This is the first time you've ever had early voting for a caucus, it's this hybrid primary-caucus, which adds to the confusion," said Rep. Dina Titus (D-Nev.), a top Joe Biden surrogate in the state. "Time is running out. They're scrambling and trying to do it right."
The main reason Democrats aren't in full-out panic mode is the Nevada Democratic Party is widely considered by operatives in both parties to be the most capable Democratic state organization in the country. A number of alumni from former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's network have stepped in to try to help. But even Reid admitted to VICE News earlier in the week he was "concerned" things would run smoothly.
The presidential campaigns are sympathetic to the state party's plight — but are growing increasingly fed up with their lack of details on how things will work, and panicked that the party won't be able to pull off a smooth election.
READ: Nevada is now do or die for Joe Biden
"They were handed a complete shit sandwich, they had a dumpster of crap dumped on them. We know them very well and I know they're trustworthy, diligent, committed to a fair and smooth process," said a Nevada-based source from one presidential campaign. "We still have a lot more information we want to see."
The party sent a memo with new updates from the party on Thursday, including more information on how early voting is supposed to be counted on election day.
"We understand just how important it is that we get this right and protect the integrity of Nevadans' votes. We are confident in our backup plans and redundancies," Nevada Democratic Party Executive Director Alana Mounce said in the memo.
That update calmed some nerves. But multiple Democratic campaigns expressed frustration that the party hasn't been more forthcoming with details — the Thursday memo and similar three-page bullet-point memo from Tuesday sum up most of the concrete information they've been provided. And they still have plenty of questions about how things are actually going to function.
One Nevada-based presidential campaign operative told VICE News that their team was "absolutely not" feeling any more confident about the process after the latest update from the state party, pointing out that there are still few details about how the early vote data will be tabulated.

Hats Off To The Ascot Royals!
March 8, 2017 March 8, 2017 Keith Sharp
By Keith Sharp
If the name Ascot Royals has a British connotation, that's because band lead singer and keyboardist brothers, Jimmy and Ben Chauveau are both native Londoners who immigrated to Canada 12 years ago when their mother remarried a Canadian native.
"It's a pisstake on Royal Ascot, a posh horse race that's staged once a year in London and is always attended by the Royal Family," says Ben Chauveau, calling from Toronto's St Clair Subway station as he waits for brother Jimmy and guitarist Tal Vaisman who are currently completing a writing session at Slaight Music's in-office recording studio.
"When we used to go to school on Ascot Day , Jimmy and I would see all these men in their top hats and all these dressed up ladies but when we came back home from school, those same people would be punching each other in the streets, totally pissed," laughed Chauveau. "So knowing how challenging it is to come up with an original band names, we came up with a twist on Royal Ascot."
The genesis of the band was formed after Jimmy Chauveau, guitarist Tal Vaisman ( a former Israeli soldier) and drummer Sam Stark all attended sound engineering/production classes offered by Metalworks Studio, a Toronto area recording studio owned by former Triumph drummer/vocalist Gil Moore.
Although only Vaisman actually completed the course, the trio, along with Ben Chauveau and bassist Scott Page formed Ascot Royals six years ago. "Jimmy and Tal are our key songwriters and their influences are all over the place," noted Chauveau. "Jimmy and I were brought up on British classic rock bands like The Beatles, Stones, The Who and Queen and both Jimmy and Tal are big on Scottish rock band Biffy Clyro. I think these influences kind of merged together when we recorded our debut EP, `New Skin'.
This seven-track EP (released in late January) was kickstarted by a friend of the band who entered a band track, "Wolves" in Slaight Music's 2014 "It's Your Shot" talent contest. "We didn't know we had been entered when we received an email from Slaight Music congratulating on our track making top 10 in their contest. Then we received another email saying we had made top 4 and although we didn't win the contest, Slaight Music were sufficiently impressed that they offered to get involved with us."
Founded in 2011 as a music entrepreneurial partnership between legendary radio mogul Gary Slaight and former Spoons drummer/record executive Derrick Ross to promote and develop domestic music talent, Ascot Royals have grown and developed under Slaight Music's direction.
"People like Ali Slaight, Derrick Ross and Jim Campbell have been like family to us," mused Chaveau. "They have worked with us in all aspects of our development."
Under Slaight Music's direction, the Ascot Royals released a debut single last year, "The Best Is Yet To Come" which received strong radio support and their new EP release, `New Skin' has been developed with top production support from the likes of Gavin Brown (Metric, Billy Talent, Three Days Grace), Eric Ratz (Big Wreck, Monster Truck) with Walk Off The Earth's Gianni Luminati contributing vocals to the record's closing track "Empires".
Slaight Music also teamed with band manager Casey Marshall and the Feldman Agency to set up a major tour supporting Big Wreck which is winding down after touring Canada from January 25th until March 17th. "It was Slaight Music who pushed us to release `New Skin' prior to the tour, we needed product out there to go to radio and sell at our gigs."
As for touring with Ian Thornley's Big Wreck outfit, Chaveau calls the experience "surreal". "Big Wreck are not only great guys but they are also the greatest musicians we've ever been privileged to play with," he enthused. "Their demographic has proven to be ideal for us, we have received a great reception from their audience and we are encouraged by the radio airplay and cd sales we have generated so far."
Chaveau understands that it is still early days for the band. They are hopeful that the initial buzz generated by their Big Wreck dates will translate into key summer festival dates and a further national tour and hope that word of the band's current success will permeate across the Atlantic to the UK- a market the Chaveau's would love to target.
"I have been talking to a music contact in the UK and I have told her that it should be mandatory for every new British band to tour Canada,"enthused Chaveau. "If they can spend eight to 10 hours a day traveling to gigs in Canada, they can do this anywhere. Touring the UK then would be a piece of cake."

$A drops on Federal Reserve comments
Jun 8th, 2012
The Australian dollar has dropped by more than half a US cent on commentary from the US Federal Reserve.
At 1200 AEST on Friday, the Australian dollar was trading at 98.58 US cents, down from 99.39 cents on Thursday.
CMC foreign exchange dealer Tim Waterer said that varied international news had moved the Australian dollar up and then down overnight, starting with an interest rate cut by the People's Bank of China.
"The Chinese move was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the Australian dollar, and contributed to us moving towards parity," he said.
"But (Federal Reserve chairman Ben) Bernanke's lack of mention of a QE3 (quantitative easing) served as a bit of a downer for risk currencies."
However, consistently strong domestic data meant the Australian dollar had a good chance of moving above parity in the near-term.
"Whilst the market is feeling the blues a little bit, general sentiment is looking better than it was this time last week," Mr Waterer said.
"The GDP (gross domestic product) and employment numbers really have changed the interest rate outlook a great deal."
Meanwhile, Australian bond futures prices were higher at noon on Thursday.
At 1200 AEST, the June 10-year bond futures contract was trading at 97.015 (implying a yield of 2.985 per cent), up from 96.975 (3.025 per cent) on Thursday.

Most dancers know that if they don't get all eyes on the room on them when they are dancing on the stage it is hard to make really good money. But if the room grows quiet while you are on stage you know you're doing something right. Everyone is watching and waiting for whatever comes next.
There are some girls that hit the stage like it is any other job. You can't do that if you want to be a successful dancer. You need to treat nights that you're going to be on stage like you're going to the most important event of your life. Make sure you hair looks great. Take extra time on your make up. Use lotion so that you skin is supple and smooth. Make sure that your outfit is read, looks great, and has no rips or tears. Pretend that your customers waiting for you to dance are your favorite celebrities. Give them your best.
One of the benefits to looking your best is that you feel your best, too. And when you are confident and feeling great about how you look, it plays a big part in how others see you. Make sure that you've practiced your dance steps so that when you get on the stage you won't be nervous. Don't try new things until you've practiced them so much that you can do the moves without even thinking about it. Confidence in yourself makes you so much more appealing to your audience.
No one likes to watch a dancer that looks like she hates her job. It's important to at least appear to really enjoy being on stage. If you're frowning, sulking or looking like you're just not having a good time, people simply won't enjoy watching you. Keep a smile on your face. Make eye contact with your audience. Enjoy your time up there. Get lost in the music. If you really do hate what you're doing and dislike being on stage, it's important that you can find at least some aspect that you love about it. If you absolutely can't find anything to enjoy, you might be better off with another type of job. People will know if you're faking it so make every attempt to show that you are getting some kind of pleasure from performing for your clients.
Although it is good to tap into emotions and passions as you dance, you need to make sure that you are in control of your moves and your routine. Flamboyance and crazy antics might work to get attention once in a while but it will only take you so far. In order to stay in control you need to know two things: 1) your audience and what they expect from you and 2) your dance moves. If you can get someone to record you, perhaps another dancer, on their phone, you can watch your moves later and see what is working and what is not. If you come across as awkward and unsure during certain parts of your routine, you'll know you need to practice more or replace those moves with something you're more comfortable with.
The best dancers have a great stage presence. They are confident and look like they love their job. They interact will with the audience and they know how to move to create the best visual appearance. Spend some time thinking about and working on your stage presence and you'll find that all the eyes in the room will be on you when you hit the stage.


I had yesterday circled on the calendar for quite some time. After a long summer of work - and a little bit of relaxation - I was eagerly anticipating the start of the monthly card show season.
I've been going to this same card show for over 15 years...probably closer to 20. It's not a big show in a fancy hotel conference room or huge community centre, instead it's in the main foyer of a rec centre complete with hockey rink, curling sheets and squash courts.
I've always enjoyed the vibe that this building has given me. Maybe I'm just enjoying the longevity and familiarity of it, but I look forward to going each and every time it's scheduled....and I get bummed when I can't go because of other commitments.
It used to be every other weekend back in the day - when card collecting was in a major boom phase. Now it's monthly. And while I still feel that it is a popular destination for the many regulars that head out to sift through boxes of cardboard, I always get a little antsy about the support and interest these smaller local shows have.
I fear that one day these shows will be gone, and we will be left to the odd bigger show and the constant "sitting in front of the computer" to satisfy my hobby cravings.
Support your local shows. You don't know what you've got until it's gone.
Now that the PSA is out of the way.....let's talk about the fantastic day at the show.
It was great to see some familiar faces and some new tables set up. And while many had their familiar offerings of card laid out, I did see some diamonds in the rough. A quick scan of the place would make it look like all things stayed the same.....but not so (Captain Canuck, I'm looking at you).
I managed to pick up a tremendous smattering of cards for numerous projects (I'll share them later this week) and a couple of fantastic finds that prove if you're willing to dig.....you'll get rewarded.
I'll use this post to share a small sample of the biggest haul of the day. We'll call this the "Buck A Card" table.
One seller consistently has numerous boxes filled to the max with anything from jersey cards to autos to rookies to inserts. The usual offering at many shows - but not this time.
Uh....just these couple boxes right?
No - all of them.
This Sidney Crosby black border parallel is numbered /50. It was a no-brainer. And neither were the other 8 black border parallels that included Mats Sundin, Dominik Hasek, Marty Brodeur and Jordan Eberle (jersey numbered to boot).
Pavel Datsyuk Ruby parallel from Black Diamond /50. Yes please. Goes well with the M.A. Fleury and Corey Perry from the same set.
Alex Galchenyuk red border redemption card from OPC looks good.
Cal's 'stashe is killer in this photo and accompanies a nice hard-signed auto on a card /25. Picked up a Craig Smith /25 from the same set.
I've always loved the Social Signatures concept. And this particular offering is the closest to perfection any of those sets achieved. Some good hard-signed autos. I picked up a total of 10 from the set.
Ryan Kesler retro from OPC. Beauty. You know where this is going - right?
It scan like crap but looks like gold - and it is.
This Al MacInnis ITG Draft Prospects First Round Picks card is the gold parallel - one of just 10 copies available. I couldn't get it into the pile fast enough....and was secretly hoping for more of these. But no luck there.
Still, for a Calgary Flames card of one of their all-time greats, limited to just 10, sitting in a dollar box....easy decision.
Maybe one of the greatest signatures in the game (no offense to the Beliveau's and Richard's or Howe's) but the consistent penmanship and strong elegance just shines on this Gilles Gilbert gem.
I grabbed both copies I could find. Along with a few other veteran goalie signatures.
All totaled, I stacked up a pile 80 cards high. Was not planning on that at the start of the day. But it serves many purposes.
I made the decision to set up at the biggest card show to hit the city in a number of years next month. It's been a good decade since I've sat on the other side of the table.
After designing the posters for the event, I was given the opportunity to secure a table at the show as payment for the work. I hummed about it for a few weeks thinking "Do I have enough stuff?", "Do I have time to get everything ready?", "Do I want to invest the time behind the table at the show instead of enjoying the weekend as a potential buyer?"
It wasn't until I talked to a co-worker who thought I was crazy not to take advantage of the situation. And now knowing I'll have a little help in tending the table.....I'm taking the leap.
These new additions to the trade box will help go a long ways in making my table a little more respectable. And no - I'm not looking to get top dollar and maximize my profit. Heck, if I can double my money I'll be thrilled.
What these cards will also do is give my monthly trade night trader box a much needed overhaul. It's pretty boring seeing the same stuff each time out. And yes....I am very aware of that.
So...a terrific start to the card show season. And I've got much more to share over the next little while.

Gay and Lesbian Rights Policy in America: RECENTS GOVERNMENTAL ACTIVITIES ON THE ISSUE
Today the situation in the USA is improving in relation to the rights of gays and lesbians. The government takes into consideration the diversity in attitudes in relation to the rights of gays and lesbians and discusses the status of their civil rights. Although at the federal level, there is still no recognition of same-sex marriages, and there are no proper laws forbidding discrimination against gays and lesbians in the United States. However, some states have already legalized such laws. Recent governmental activity on this issue is focused on a number of significant decision and actions in the field on employment, military service, housing, health care system, etc. As the same-sex sexual activity is legal nationwide since 2003, there is an obvious change towards the rights of gays and lesbians. However, the same-sex unions are not recognized by the federal government. According to statistics, civil unions are legal in the states: Illinois, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Maine, Wisconsin, Delaware, Nevada, Hawaii, Colorado, Oregon, and California (Newton, 2009, p.23).
It is known that prior to1993, lesbians and gays were not allowed to serve in the U.S. Army. However, on December 18, 2010, The U. S. Senate enacted the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010 which permits homosexual men and women to serve openly in the armed forces of the United States. The US President Barack Obama signed the document on December 22, 2010 (Branigin et al., 2010, p.1). Today gays, lesbians, and bisexuals are free to serve in the Army openly.
One of the anti-discrimination policies is a new bill that bans anti-gay employment discrimination nationwide – the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which has been introduced in the Congress of the United States. It is known that several states have already reformed their civil rights code by legislation and under the court decisions and included gender identity and sexual orientation. The following states banned sexual orientation discrimination in employment: Colorado, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, Oregon, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Rhode Island, Washington, Vermont and Wisconsin, Minnesota (Newton, 2009, p.61).
In addition, in 2012, The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity issued a law that prohibits discrimination of gays and lesbians in specially developed housing programs assisted by the federal government. Under the law, it is prohibited to discriminate gays and lesbians in housing programs and the housing programs are open to all citizens, regardless of their sexual orientation and gender identity (Lavers, 2012, p.1).
Besides, it is known that on April 14, 2011, the US President Barack Obama issued an Executive Order to the Department of Health and Human Services in order to draft new rules for the hospitals in the United States that accept Medicaid funds. Under this order, it is required to provide visitation and medical rights to gay and lesbian couples (Stolberg, 2010, p.1).
One more important document is the Hate Crime Statistics Act of 1990 28 U.S.C. § 534, which requires the Attorney General to collect information on the hate crimes connected with the issues on race, ethnicity, religion, disability and sexual orientation. It is known that this bill was issued by George H. W. Bush in 1990. It was the first statute that �recognized and named gay, lesbian and bisexual people�� (Hate Crimes Protections Timeline, 2007. p.1).
