Scientists have told why the Japanese live longer than other people
The whole world has not been able to solve the riddle of Japanese longevity for decades. Today, the average life expectancy for Japanese men is 80 years, and for women - 86. No country on Earth has yet reached this level. Recently, leading experts in the field of gerontology from Japan and Russia gathered in Moscow to understand the phenomenon of Japanese longevity.
It should be noted that for Russia the issue of longevity is very relevant, since the number of elderly people in our country is growing from year to year. In 2019, according to statistics, Russians set a historical minimum in terms of life expectancy - men 68.5 years, women - 78.5 years. But 100-year-old centenarians in Russia are almost 3 times less than in Japan - 20.5 thousand against 61 thousand. And this can be called one of the reasons why the population of Japan is growing, while the percentage of elderly people remains stable.
The Japanese approached this problem thoroughly. First, a large-scale study was carried out, which compared people's health, material well-being and the number of years lived. It turned out that the poorer a person in Japan, the more diseases he has and the shorter his life.
Another reason that affects life expectancy, according to the Japanese, is proper nutrition. Japanese gerontologists believe that the diet of an elderly person should differ significantly from the diet of young people. Suffice it to recall America, where the state spends huge sums on the treatment of elderly people, and they live much less than the Japanese. And all because people in old age do not change their eating habits. In Japan, this is simply impossible to imagine - food for the elderly in supermarkets is on separate shelves, as well as food for small children.
Japanese scientists argue that people of considerable age should consume food in the form of jelly. The main product for them is fish, but meat is harmful. By the way, it is not the first year that the Japanese have been saying that the Americans taught them to eat meat, and the time has passed to get rid of this bad habit.
The Japanese are also actively fighting salt consumption. And if not long ago in the daily diet of the average Japanese was 40 grams of salt per day, today, thanks to active propaganda, only 10 grams. According to Professor Endo, the Japanese will never eat food just because they like it, as the Russians do.
Another important factor in longevity is constant study regardless of age. The Japanese read for at least one hour a day and believe that this protects the brain from problems like dementia and Alzheimer's. While in front of the TV, elderly Japanese spend no more than half an hour a day. Figures for comparison: Americans sit up at blue screens for 4 hours a day, and Russians do 5.
And another important factor that prolongs the life of the Japanese is movement. For example, elderly Japanese spend at least an hour walking down the street every day, while Russians are closer to a sofa and a TV.
The fifth factor in longevity is meeting friends regularly. Japanese retirees spend a lot of time with their peers and consider this a guarantee of a boring and prosperous life. Elderly people arrange gatherings with friends at home, visit exhibitions, theaters, and meet in cafes.
And of course, it should be noted that the Japanese old people are actively supported by the state. For this, many national programs have been developed.And even such seemingly "private" moments as caring for the weak and lying, the state takes upon itself. In Japan, there is a government program for long-term home care for the elderly.
All measures taken together cannot fail to bring a positive effect: the Japanese have been the leaders in terms of life expectancy on the planet for several years now.

Two duels of Lermontov: the poet was a fatalist and did not aim at opponents
"I won't shoot this fool!" A moment later, the great poet was mortally wounded by a bullet through the air. Lermontov passed away in the same way as his brilliant predecessor, Pushkin. However, few people remember that this fatal duel was preceded by another one. A year before his own death, Mikhail Yuryevich fought on swords with a French

Malbec, Finca Decero. Argentina
What was once a bare patch of soil in the foothills of the Andes has been transformed into a remarkable single-vineyard estate. Decero, meaning "from scratch", consists of one hundred hectares of vineyard newly planted in 2000 on this favoured site. The winery is state-of-the art, having been equipped for the début 2006 vintage, and the gentle, hands-on approach in the vineyard continues throughout the process. The result is wines of elegance and sophistication; seductively textured and freshly aromatic. With such quality emerging after only one vintage, this is definitely a new name to watch.

Intense violet aromas and purity of raspberry and red fruit flavours, with a kick of white pepper, a very assured, sleek texture, and a long, energetic finish.
Located at over 1050 metres above sea level, in the renowned Mendoza appellation of Agrelo, the Remolinos Vineyard takes its name from 'remolinos' – whirlwinds which keep the grapes dry and in perfect condition before being handpicked each vintage. The soils are silty clay over sandy gravels. All the vineyard work is done by hand, without the use of tractors. Natural predators, including owls, are used to combat pests. During picking, there was a cluster selection followed by a second sorting within the small boxes.

Best Answers: What is the best way to lose weight?
building muscle burns more calories than aerobic exercise. Strength training exercise will of course build muscle. Although the adverse effect is that muscle weighs more than fat. So you may end up heavier or dead even with your current weight, however you will take on the appearance of having lost weight, possibly more than you were aiming to lose. As long as you have a toned body, the amount you weigh will not be as important.

The thermal stability of porous sol-gel phosphosilicates was studied by comparing the textural features upon calcination between 400 and 550 degrees C. A significant loss of surface area and pore volume were observed; the first is due to thermal coarsening of the nanoparticles, and the pore volume reduction was ascribed to sintering of the most external nanoparticles producing less void volume. Lanthanum addition was investigated as thermal stabilizer. For the mesoporous phosphosilicate composition, lanthanum addition enhanced the surface area, showing a 45% and 50% improvement with respect to the La-free counterpart; the effect was much less visible for the macroporous composition.

India is Asia's 'gravity point': Japanese Deputy Defence Minister
In an interview, Japanese Deputy Minister of Defence expressed conerns over growing challenges emanating from Chinese military assertiveness in the key maritime zones in the region, and said it is important for like-minded countries to expand collaboration to deal with the situation.
NEW DELHI: Describing India as "Asia's gravity point", Japanese Deputy Minister of Defence Yasuhide Nakayama has said his country would like to see India "commit more" towards the Quadrilateral coalition or Quad.
In an interview to news channel Wion, Nakayama also expressed conerns over growing challenges emanating from Chinese military assertiveness in the key maritime zones in the region, and said it is important for like-minded countries to expand collaboration to deal with the situation.
Nakayama said Japan, India, United States and Australia understand the importance of a democratic system and a free and open Indo-Pacific and hoped that the Quad will emerge as more important grouping in the future.The Quad comprises India, Japan, Australia and the US.
"I personally know India's position and I personally request India to commit more to protect the free and open Indo Pacific region. We want a strong India. India is Asia's gravity point and is very important....We love India and we want more commitment from India towards the Quad," he said, according to the interview transcript released by the channel.
Replying to a question on coronavirus, the deputy minister said the Chinese government as well as the World Health Organisation have to explain to the world about it.
"I think the Chinese government along with WHO will have to explain what is going on to the people of the world. We would want to know what happened at the original point from where the virus expanded. I think the Chinese government should put effort in explaining this to other countries," he said.
The coronavirus was first reported in Chinese city of Wuhan. There have been demands for a thorough investigation about the origin of the virus.
Asked about China's military provocations along the Line of Actual Control with India, Nakayama said Japan would like both the countries to bring down the temperature in the region, and suggested that Tokyo prefers a middle path on the matter.
"We would like to say that both countries should try to decrease the temperature and hopefully one day shake hands with each other...And hopefully, make peace at the border too. On the other hand, I know it is very tough...we in Japan, also have a lot of fear from the Chinese military activities. So, personally, I can understand India's feelings towards those matters. But I hope China and India take a new step forward to calm down and make peace," he added.

Mutiu Adepoju (Ibadan, 22 de dezembro de 1970) é um ex-futebolista nigeriano que se destacou no futebol da Espanha, sobretudo no Racing Santander.

Carreira em clubes

O começo
Adepoju iniciou sua carreira na Nigéria, nos times do Shooting Stars e do Julius Berger. Saiu do país em 1989, quando foi contratado pelo Castilla (filial do Real Madrid). Começava aí a aventura de Mutiu (como passou a ser mais conhecido) em terras hispânicas.

Na Espanha
Mutiu jogou pelo Castilla entre 1989 e 1992, ano em que foi contratado pelo Racing Santander.

Pelo clube da Cantábria, atuou até 1996, tendo disputado 123 partidas e marcado 26 gols. Sem espaço no Racing, transferiu-se para a Real Sociedad, sendo o segundo não-basco e o primeiro negro a jogar no segundo time do País Basco (antes dele, o primeiro jogador não-basco a ser contratado tinha sido o anglo-irlandês John Aldridge). Ficou por lá até 2000.

Passagem apagada pela Arábia, volta à Espanha e final de carreira
Após 11 anos na Espanha, ele recebeu proposta do Al-Ittihad, mas sua estadia no time saudita não duraria mais que uma temporada. De volta à Espanha, assinou com o Salamanca, também jogando por uma temporada (14 jogos, nenhum gol).

Foi jogar na Turquia, pelo modesto Samsunspor, mas também não teve êxito e foi jogar pelo AEL Limassol, um dos principais clubes do Chipre, tendo jogado apenas cinco partidas, marcando um gol. Aposentou-se pela primeira vez depois de seu contrato com o AEL se encerrou. Voltou novamente à Espanha em 2004 para encerrar a carreira, jogando pelos inexpressivos Eldense e Cobeña, seu último clube como profissional.

Seleção Nigeriana
Adepoju estreou na Seleção Nigeriana de Futebol em 1990, num amistoso contra o Togo, e a Copa das Nações Africanas de 1992 foi seu primeiro torneio oficial. Ele também jogou as Copas de 1994, 1998 (foi dele o gol que iniciou a reação nigeriana na partida contra a Espanha) e 2002, nesta última estava completamente fora de forma, não tendo entrado em campo em nenhuma das três partidas das Super Águias, que caíram na primeira fase. Também atuou na Copa Rei Fahd de 1995.

Be sure to stop in for a beautiful, fresh bouquet of flowers for the long weekend. Botanica will be closed Monday, May 26 for the Memorial Day Holiday.
Easter has arrived at Botanica! While Winter and Spring battle on outside, the store is jam-packed with gorgeous hydrangea, hibiscus, lily, begonia, azalea and gardenia plants. The cooler is almost overflowing with locally grown cut tulips and lilies, amazing roses, delphinium, iris and so much more. Whether you are hosting dinner this Sunday or need a bouquet to take as a gift, we have the best selection to usher in Spring.
Time to place your Valentine's Day orders for pick up or delivery next week. You do not have to wait until Friday the 14th, as we will have a great selection of flowers available all week long. Let us help you create the perfect bouquet or arrangement to make your Valentine's Day special.


Quepos is located less than 100 miles (160 km) from San Jose, on the Central Pacific coast of Costa Rica.
There are no set arrival and departure days for trips to Quepos.
We base our guests out of a hotel called Villas Mymosas. This is our favorite location to fish from when staying in this area as it has all the facilities needed to make the stay a comfortable one. The hotel has a restaurant and bar, pool, A/C, cable TV, and is ideally situated between the town of Manuel Antonio and Quepos boat docks (about 5 minutes in either direction). Each of the suites have two comfortable beds, along with a functioning kitchen with fridge and a large sitting area with couches. There is plenty of storage space and large a large closet for cloths and gear. The hotel has an excellent restaurant run by a British expat named Steven. The meals are outstanding and are prepared right in front of guests in an open kitchen format. Steven has formally trained as a chef and his culinary skills are exceptional! Breakfast is served at 6 am on the days that guests fish and the taxi is waiting at 6:45 am for the short ride down to the boat dock.
The Quepos area is world renowned as a "must fish" destination and there are several compelling factors that make this such a great place to fish. The optimal time to come is December through April, when the weather is nice and the sea is calm. A couple of our guests last year commented on how surprised they were at how flat and tranquil the Pacific Ocean is off the coat of Costa Rica during the winter months. There are stretches during the season when this beautiful cobalt blue body of water scarcely has a ripple on it. This means that the 25 mile runs are done in the blink of an eye and the flexibility that this allows the boats in terms of getting to wherever the fish are, without dealing with rough seas, is a real plus. Another great aspect to this fishery is the outstanding diversity of species that can be caught in the waters off Quepos. Guests can expect to target sailfish, roosterfish, snappers (pargo), wahoo, marlin, tuna, dorado, grouper, and snook. The sailfishing in particular is excellent, this is an outstanding location for those who are looking to land their first sail on the fly. Guests can choose either inshore days or head offshore, depending on what they are most interested in chasing that day? Inshore the targeted species are rooster fish up to 65 pounds, pargo, jacks and grouper. Offshore, it's a steady diet of sailfish, tuna, wahoo, marlin and dorado.
The methods used for fishing include, trolling lures, fishing with live bait and fly fishing. Not all boats and skippers are comfortable with guests throwing flies so please let us know if fly fishing is part of your plan so that we can secure the right captain and boat for your trip. While the fishing takes place out of the Quepos Harbour, guests stay in the town of Manuel Antonio, which is situated about a 7 minute taxi ride away. MA is a great little town with lots of lively bars and restaurants and a fabulous beach that draws people from around the world. If socializing is an important part of your trip after fishing, you will enjoy our Slipstream Guide to Manuel Antonios best restaurants and numerous watering holes.
The two main sizes of boats we use in Quepos are the 26 foot center consoles powered with single and twin 4 strokes and the larger, 31 and 32 foot boats with fighting chairs. Captain Chris runs one of the 26's and he has equipped his boat with twin 4 strokes, making it the fastest charter boat in Quepos. While speed is not always needed, it's nice to know that a 20 mile run out to the tuna blitzes can be done in a hury. Both the 26's have the latest in marine communications systems. The 31's and 32 foot boats are equipped with marine heads (a good idea if ladies are coming) twin diesel engines, modern marine navigation systems and fighting chairs. Captain Ross skippers our favorite 32 and if you plan of fly fishing for all or part of your trip, booking this boat should be a priority.
Guests will fly into the capital city of San Jose where you will be met by a Slipstream Angling representative as soon as you've cleared customs. You will then be driven into downtown San Jose where you will spend the night at the Sleep Inn, located in the heart of San Jose's entertainment district. The next morning our driver will pick you up in the lobby of the hotel and bring you to the domestic air terminal which is located just down the street from the International Airport. The 30 minute flight from San Jose to Quepos is a breathtaking experience, the flight goes over the Western Mountain Range. The scenery is sunning! Upon arrival in Quepos, a taxi will take guests directly from the airstrip to the hotel in Manuel Antonio for check in. The rest of the day is open for relaxing or exploring.
A valid passport that does not expire for at least 30 days from your departure from Costa Rica.


Anita it is good to see you are still posting. Often your words are encouraging, healing or thought provoking. In these words there is a new experience for me ….
I seem to find myself in a similar place, quite by 'accident' and with minimal (self) effort. Reading your words I took a little contented breath in and then out and felt an inner smile in my being – so different from previous tensions. Perhaps this is the joy you speak of. I hope it is contagious.
How lovely, Andy. Thank you.
I did take an unintentional break from blogging. Being told I had a 60% chance of being alive in 5 years meant I needed to take time out to ascertain what I wanted to do for the rest of my life, whether 5 or 50 years.
I have been writing though, and have built up words per day, and am now into the rhythm of writing 500 words a day on my memoir. Don't yet have complete clarity on what God wants me to do/I want to do on the blog, but am sure I am called to blogging. Am slowing easing back into it and discovering a new rhythm for it.
Thanks for taking the time to reply, Anita. I feel you are becoming a virtual friend and I am privileged to have you share your life in this way. I am not on Facebook though, mainly because life is already full enough. Perhaps one day. God bless.
I'm so happy to hear that you are feeling "full of energy, good spirits, health and, yes…joy!" Joy in the difficulties of life is a beautiful paradox, isn't it? Hard to put to words, but so real. Praying for you, Anita.
It is a joy to read your stories. I am very thankful that you are doing so well and will continue to remember you in prayer. In 2013, I had a near-miss with a stroke. God was good. I believe it was a message for me, as well. I've finally accepted working the OA program after around 3 years or so dabbling. I have a conviction I have never felt before. Nothing dramatic, just a feeling of it's time. The prospect of turning 60 this year may have been an eye opener also! The word for me this year is Life is Short. (Ok, it's 3 words.) But when I see it, think it, or say it, it becomes a reality check.
Blessings to you and your family. May your joy overflow.
That's a lovely phrase. Life is short–to live each moment fully.

Vandals, Huns, and Visigoths
Jonathan asked: "Have you ever done anything on graveyard vandalism? Forgive me if you have and I missed it. I know you like the uprights, but they invite wackoes to knock them over."
No, Jonathan, I haven't; and I've been pondering that ever since you asked: "What could I say about vandalism"? Other than it's fucking stupid?
For the purposes of the blog or Flickr, I don't record vandalism, other than occasionally. It tends to be a given in any cemetery to one degree or another. The most successful cemeteries on combatting vandalism are Jewish cemeteries (at least around here) which often have resident caretakers; the surest protection known. Larger, more expensive cemeteries have a degree of immunity, but are not entirely safe. Every cemetery is at risk. Small, unattended, rural cemeteries are ripe fodder for disenfranchised youth (vandals are most often young).
If the vandals are not young, I'd suggest that a more sinister motive is in play: bigotry. Certainly, bigotry can be a motive for the young, as well, but sheer indifference and mischief making are heavy factors, too. Tell the Jews about bigotry and cemetery destruction.
The practical question is how to combat it. Punishment is probably ineffective and pointless and, at best, after the fact. If one is always paying for the pound of cure, one never gets to the ounce of prevention. There are many practical steps one can take to make one's cemetery less inviting to vandals, such as trimming up the bushes and keeping lines of sight open, which are undoubtedly good advice. In general, the better the maintenance, the less vandalism. Vandals are less likely to target places they think are under observation.
For rural and pioneer cemeteries, your best bet is to make the communities "own" the cemeteries; and by "own," I don't mean "have physical title to," I mean "own" in the sense of "having, with pride, accepted responsibility for." Involve the community in making the cemetery a place of community, not just a repository for dead people. Get the community to care about the cemetery. Have classes and school clubs take up maintenance. Do things in the cemetery. Have art shows, plays, concerts. Hire local graffiti artists to do art/promotions. Bring your history to the cemetery. Do whatever you can to involve the neighbors in believing they have both a treasure and a sacred place on their hands. You're never going to win it all, but you can make a big dent.
The tougher problem is altering one's views on the origins of vandalism, in the first place. Or, for that matter, the origins of social deviance and what to do about it. One's views determine one's response.
One response is punishment for acts of transgression. Punishment has two components: revenge and behavioral modification. Our legal system, if I understand it correctly, operates almost entirely on punishment as a response to transgression. In theory, both components, revenge and modification, are justification for the punishment.
Revenge, as a punishment component, has the unfortunate effect of multiplying itself. Revenge turns to revenge and cycles are set in motion that are almost impossible to eradicate, witness Turkey-Greece, Israel-Arab, Sicily, Hatfield-McCoy, and on. Old scores die hard. The only way to stop revenge is to stop it. There's no compromise out of it. It simply has to be stopped. Revenge is counterproductive.
With that out of the way, we can concentrate on punishment as behavioral modification, as deterrent, as reprogramming.
But, perhaps, it's better to begin by asking, not how effective punishment is, but what do we know about behavioral modification and how can it most effectively be achieved? If we were serious about reprogramming criminals, we'd be a lot further along than we are. The most that can be said for our behavioral modification program is that it relies almost exclusively on fear (of further punishment which could well extend into the afterlife, if you believe the believers); but it's long been known that positive reinforcement is much more effective than negative. Punishment that doesn't include community building and the integration of the transgressor into society is pointless, useless, and expensive. It does, though, provide for a lot of jobs.
Just offhand, I'd put all cemetery vandals on cemetery maintenance patrol. I'd have a few classes on what cemeteries mean to people, what they do for society. Maybe I'd have the vandals assist with a few funerals. Maybe involve the vandals with putting on a community art show in the cemetery. You get the idea.
Just keep it in mind that nothing solves everything. Be realistic.
Labels: cemeteries, vandalism
Jonathan said...
Thanks for the follow up, Johan. Yes, a lot of cemetery vandalism is by the alienated young, has been for decades. I wrote a paper to one of the local papers years ago pointing out the potential loss of heritage when a bunch of stones at a pioneer cemetery were toppled. Such events would be less likely in a more cohesive place such as Japan (though the markers there tend to be smaller inscribed slabs for "cremains"). Yes, cemetery vandals indicate wider problems than just the impact to dark graveyards with little or no security.

Virginia Tech's director of the Center for Power Electronics Systems takes on grand challenge /
Current page: Virginia Tech's director of the Center for Power Electronics Systems takes on grand challenge
Dushan Boroyevich
With rapidly increasing populations and energy consumption, the world is facing the challenge of building a sustainable energy future. Over the next 30 years, present electrical grids are projected to quadruple.
Virginia Tech's new director of the Center for Power Electronics Systems (CPES) Dushan Boroyevich is working toward solving this challenge.
"Dushan is synonymous with innovation at Virginia Tech," said Theresa Mayer, Virginia Tech's vice president for research and innovation. "As the director of the Center for Power Electronic Systems, I believe he is poised to continue Virginia Tech's global leadership in this field and other disciplines that are dependent upon these systems."
For more than four decades, the center has been at the forefront of numerous core power conversion technologies and research, including the powering of information technology and transportation.
With an expertise in power conversion, Boroyevich centers his research on the modeling and control of high-frequency switching power converters, now used for the analysis, design, and control of hybrid AC/DC power conversion systems. As director of the center, Boroyevich is exploring cross-disciplinary research and education at the intersection of engineering, architecture, and business, among other disciplines.
"This exploration will enable pervasive changes in the way electricity is used," explained Boroyevich, who is a U.S. National Academy of Engineering member.
According to Boroyevich, by combining CPES expertise with the vast experience of Virginia Tech's power systems faculty and a global industry consortium of companies and government research sponsors, his team will be seeking solutions and additions to the workforce for the new power grid of the 21st century.
Boroyevich is confident the center will continue to build upon previous work in order to transform living and working spaces into enjoyable, healthy, efficient, and attractive environments without the clutter of electrical cables, air ducts, electromechanical switches, and power outlets.
Similarly, low-cost versions of these technologies could revolutionize rural electrification in the developing world. The key is using local, renewable, and distributed generation without connection to the national grids.
This is what Boroyevich calls a "bottom-up-grid" approach to overcoming the "grand challenge."
The envisioned Intergrid could utilize electronic energy-routers instead of the old power substations, as well as novel underground DC power networks instead of the overhead AC transmission lines. This Intergrid could ideally accommodate any form of electrical energy generation, storage, transmission, and delivery, providing over 80 percent of human energy consumption, compared to the less than 50 percent in the developed world today.
This "top-down-grid" expansion and rebuild will make the energy infrastructure better integrated into natural and built environments. It will also be much more resilient to natural and human-made disasters. The grid could supply 100 percent renewable energy with ever-increasing efficiency to everyone, while generating high-quality jobs around the globe.
In addition, Boroyevich's foremost task is to keep the center's family thriving. Over the next five years, at the Blacksburg and the National Capital Region locations, the goal is to increase total external funding to $10 million annually and expand into new cross-disciplinary areas.
"While keeping our program strong, we will work with the Virginia Tech administration to develop physical and organizational infrastructure for the growth of CPES, increasing to 10 professors, 10 staff, over 100 graduate students, and more than 100 companies in our consortium," said Boroyevich, a University Distinguished Professor.
As co-director of the center, Boroyevich's past efforts to expand CPES' burgeoning portfolio have not gone unnoticed. Since the beginning, "Boroyevich has been the integral part of the center's early development and success," said Fred Lee, the founder and former director of the internationally acclaimed center. Lee retired in September 2017.
"For CPES to continue playing the leadership role on the world stage, the center has to reposition itself to establish as a global alliance with government agencies, industries, and universities," Lee said. "My colleague, Professor Dushan Boroyevich, served as the center's co-director for the past 20 years and is considered to be one of only a handful people in the world with both the breadth and depth to undertake this grand challenge."

'Insecure' star Kendrick Sampson says he was shot with rubber bullets 7 times during George Floyd protest
Posted: May 31, 2020 11:46 PM EST
Actor Kendrick Sampson said he was shot seven times with rubber bullets by police in Los Angeles on Saturday during a protest over the death of George Floyd. By Leah Asmelash, CNN
(CNN) -- Actor Kendrick Sampson said he was shot seven times with rubber bullets by police in Los Angeles on Saturday during a protest over the death of George Floyd.
"He pointed the gun DIRECTLY AT ME," Sampson wrote on Twitter, linking to an news report about his experience. "I actually got hit 7 times with rubber bullets and many with batons. My boy has stitches."
Sampson, a vocal activist, was among thousands of people across the US who protested Floyd's death this weekend.
Floyd, a 46-year-old unarmed black man, died in Minneapolis last week at the hands of police. Four officers were involved in the incident and all have since been fired from the Minneapolis Police Department.
One former officer, Derek Chauvin, is seen in a video with his knee on Floyd's neck for over eight minutes. He was charged with with third-degree murder and manslaughter on Friday. Protesters say they want to see charges for all four police officers involved in the death of Floyd.
Video of the event Sampson described was posted to Twitter by a friend of Sampson. The actor reshared the video to his own social media.
The Los Angeles Police Department did not immediately respond to CNN's request for comment.
"If LAPD didn't know cameras were on they would've done much WORSE," Sampson wrote on Twitter about the incident. "They're organized crime, continuing the legacy of slave catching."
Sampson said he went to the emergency room after the incident for his injuries, photos of which he also posted on Instagram.
Sunday marked the sixth day of protests. Though many of the nationwide protests began peacefully, some turned violent. At least 40 cities have imposed curfews and National Guard members have been activated in 15 states and Washington, DC.


NOW IT STARTS TO FIGURE !!
Here we go again in what for some, will be a year of living dangerously. Not so if you are a vendor living in Mosman and surrounding suburbs, or if you are an agent and for a number of reasons.
Since 2002/2003 the total number of houses sold in Mosman has been on the decline with just 291 house sales recorded in 2005. Thus far the total number of recorded sales in 2006 is currently at 354 and given the "hopeless" way that property sales are recorded this would not yet include sales made in October, November and December. The total number which will not be available for a few months yet should be up there with 2002 – 392 sales and 2003 – 376 sales which was also when the market was booming. In 2002/2003 the median sale price was $1,690,000 and in 2006 it is $1,850,000. This should climb even higher to be the highest ever recorded, median sale price.
December 2006 was a great trading month as we posted seventeen sales, the last being on December 22. To date, in 2007, we have exchanged eight properties – yes the investors are back buying up the apartments to take advantage of a very over-heated rental market.
The news for those renting goes from bad to worse as like dams, it will take a significant time to replenish stock levels. On average, leases are granted for a period of twelve months and on expiry, tenants can now expect another rent review and it won't be going down! With just nine weeks to the polls, the major political parties continue to dodge tax reductions and/or removals. The vacancy rate within a ten kilometre radius of Sydney CBD was 2.5 per cent in 2004, 2.5 per cent in 2005 and in 2006 it crashed to 1.4 per cent.
Housing Industry Association Executive Director of Housing and Economics, Mr Simon Tennent said "that it is a sobering thought when you think that on average $5.6 billion worth of rental properties were added to the stock in the six months to July 2006 yet vacancy rates fell in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane". The only reason we are seeing investors buying back, is because they believe apartment prices have bottomed.
The federal government introduced GST on the platform that it would result in reduced taxes. They are now being increased so, in fairness, it should now hold off on GST payments to the states until it is satisfied that this is happening. Then we would see some results although the states prefer to see cents not sense.
Already in 2007, we have unsolicited reports of an offer on a Mosman home for $50,000,000 and we expect to see a very strong trading market this year. We are seeing vendors withdrawing properties from early 2007 campaigns as they are frightened that once they sell, the market could kick and they could then be left out. Based on this we do expect to see a strong trading year in both houses and apartments with prices back over the 2003 price points.
In 2002 Mosman traded 725 apartments with a median price of $452,000 and in 2006 it traded just 412 (will improve slightly when November/December figures are released) with a median price of $499,500. This is a classic example of missing investors and whilst a school of thought is to replace the government in NSW, problem is, that the replacement could be just as hopeless! If the federal government can do it with water there is a very strong argument that it should follow suit with state taxes.

Sweet baby M was an absolute angel for his newborn photography session. I just fell in love with him and all of his blond hair. This was such a special session because his aunt purchased his newborn photos for his mommy and daddy as a very special gift. I can not think of a more treasured gift one could receive after having a child. I know they will cherish these images for years to come.


Researchers from the UC Irvine plan to use the Kerckhoff Marine Laboratory for a new project to study coastal and ocean health. The building, shown here in this 1928 photo is possibly the oldest non-residential building in Corona del Mar.
Researchers from the UC Irvine plan to use the Kerckhoff Marine Laboratory for a new project to study coastal and ocean health. The building, shown here in this 1929 photo is possibly the oldest non-residential building in Corona del Mar.
Nestled on the China Cove beach, seen more often by boaters than by those on land, the Kerckhoff Marine Laboratory is possibly the oldest non-residential building in Corona del Mar.
The building, constructed as a beach club in the 1920s that fell into bankruptcy, could be seeing new life as researchers from the University of California at Irvine plan to use the facility for a new project to study coastal and ocean health.
Chace Warmington, a program representative for Initiatives for Sustainability and Empowering Women at the School of Social Ecology at UCI, has been corresponding with Corona del Mar residents as a community outreach liaison between UCI and the community. UCI Oceans will occasionally use the Kerckoff lab, he said in an email, and will provide the research and teaching there on occasion.
A California Institute of Technology spokeswoman said that conversations between Caltech and UCI have been ongoing, and that details about changes in the lab's use are still being discussed.
But residents, including some at a recent Corona del Mar Residents Association meeting, have expressed interest in the facility, including hope that it would one day be revitalized.
The lab began as the Balboa Palisades Club and once was envisioned as part of a much larger resort community, local historians have said.
Duncan Forgey, a longtime Newport Beach resident and hobby historian, once wrote an article about the club that said it was founded by 100 members in 1925.
Corona del Mar saw its first homes in the early 1900s, and by the 1920s was a beach-destination, particularly after Pacific Coast Highway was built. Visitors included Duke Kahanamoku, the Hawaiian surfer and Olympic swimming medalist, and silent-film actress Dorothy MacKail.
Three years later, a group of Pasadena members purchased the club and tried to save it, but the stock market crash and the Great Depression doomed their efforts, he wrote.
Legal papers list an inventory of items in the former club, offering a glimpse of the activities offered there during its heyday: 28 records, a panatrope, three bridge tables and six packs playing cards, a cigar counter, a croquet set, two baseball bats — as well as lamps, towels, brass beds and kitchen gear.
In 1929, Caltech purchased the building, using $50,000 contributed by William G. Kerckoff, a tycoon who made his fortune in lumber, gas, oil, electricity and land development.
A Caltech website page states that the lab has "what may be the world's best egg-to-egg culture system for Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, the California purple sea urchin which is the major workhorse of the laboratory of embryonic gene expression." That website lists "eminent Caltech scientists who have worked there," including T.H. Morgan, G.E.McGinnity, Heinz Lowenstam, Charles Brokaw and Roy Britten. The lab is located at 101 Dahlia Ave.
A Caltech spokesperson said in an interview three years ago that the lab's research focuses on sea urchin DNA, which researchers use to unravel genetic codes and genome mapping.
Michael Toerge, a Corona del Mar resident who lives near the lab, said he has personally polished a Newport Beach Historical Society marker that notes the date the building was constructed and turned over to Caltech.
About two weeks ago, he said, he was invited to tour the facility with researchers.
"They have thousands of specimens down there," he said. The lab has 24-hour access to fresh ocean water, he said, making it an ideal facility for marine researchers.
But to Toerge, and to others, the building's history also is important.
The China House, which gave China Cove its name, was built in 1927 by a Pasadena man whose wife was enchanted with Chinese architecture. The home was demolished in the 1980s.

This bag is terrific for making sprouts. It is made from a combination of natural, chemical-free, untreated hemp, with a small amount of linen (flax) fibers.
People often assume sprouts are best grown in jars. Indeed, in the hands of a diligent gardener, jars can successfully grow several varieties of sprouts.
But jars were never designed for sprouting. Their popularity has more to do with their wide availability and free cost than with their merits as a gardening tool.
Any serious sprout grower will soon run into the many limitations of jars as sprouting devices.
While there are other types of sprouters available with different features, the sprout bag is a perfect substitution for the jar, with several advantages.
Sproutman's® Sprout Bag makes sprouting easy.
Just dip 'n hang! Dip the bag with sprouting seeds in water twice per day. Hang the bag on any hook or knob over your sink so it may drain. It takes less than a minute!
Grows mung, lentil, chickpea, green pea, adzuki, wheat, barley, rye, spelt, Kamut, quinoa, sesame, millet, broccoli, alfalfa, clover, radish, chives, arugula, cress, and psyllium.

Procrastination is one of the biggest presentation traps.
From a distance, you might think it's safe and easy to pass through that tunnel.
But as you walk through, you'll slowly notice that things aren't what they seem.
Then you'll wake up, realizing how much you've been deceived.
Cramming is one of the worst habits speakers should avoid.
It not only keeps you from effectively engaging your audience.
The lack of preparation also weakens your performance.
While there are times when you might stumble because of unexpected events, it's still your responsibility to prepare.
Preparation brings more confidence, allowing you to handle your speech and engage your audience.
You never want a venue's overall setup to unpleasantly surprise you.
To get on top of unforeseen circumstances, familiarize yourself with a location prior to an event.
This helps you determine how to position yourself without distracting your audience.
It also lets you make necessary adjustments.
These can include last minute adjustments to equipment like the projector, microphone, laptop, and even your PowerPoint slides.
Arrive early to rehearse and plan for the big day.
Once the participants have confirmed their attendance, it's a great opportunity to meet with them before your actual performance.
This involves asking them questions related to your topic.
In this case, talking with your audience in advance builds rapport and establishes relationships.
The payoff comes later, when your listeners will be more attentive and pliant to your offers.
Let them notice your interest and detect your sincerity to make a good impression.
Going to other events gives you a better idea on how you can communicate with a crowd.
Observing their mood and behavior clues you in on how to interact with them.
Listening to other presenters also helps you absorb helpful information that you can use for speaking.
This also allows you to stay updated with recent public speaking trends that best engage crowds.
When it's time for you to present, match your delivery with your audience's preferences to catch their attention.
Be wary of this deadly traps that could ruin your performance.
Hollow presentations won't win people's hearts.
To avoid disturbing your audience with unwieldy pitches, visit the venue to become comfortable being on stage.
Familiarizing yourself with the stage averts unforeseeable presentation disasters.
Meeting your listeners and participating in other events also gives you an idea on how to pique their interest and build connections.
Remember, the audience is your priority.
Practice and prepare for effective delivery.
Don't let presentation traps bury you alive.
Our PowerPoint professionals can assist and offer you a free quote to craft decks that stand out!

Unreleased Peter Pan 'Disney Infinity 3.0' Figure Sold for Over $900
Jesse DeRosa
Jesse DeRosa @SecondBestRock
It looks like the unreleased Peter Pan figure for Disney Infinity 3.0 was closer to mass production than most thought.
Just a few weeks ago, a pre-release production figure of Peter Pan was sold on eBay for $995! The seller's description reads:
Final Stage Production Sample, new in the box, received from a former Disney Infinity Employee.
Part of a very limited production run to ensure final quality standards before mass manufacture.
Please note, because the content patch for this character was never released, this figure will not work when placed on the Disney Infinity base.
It appears that the figure was just about ready for market, and a handful of these figures are probably still out in the wild. Of course, as noted in the above description, the figure won't work in the game, because like many 3.0 figures, it would require a update to support it. The bottom left of the box even has a tag that notes a update is needed in order to use the figure.
For a more in-depth look at the figure, check out the latest video from YouTuber Infiniteer Adventures.
It is sad to see a figure that was so highly anticipated and close to mass production was canceled. Especially when the Finding Dory and Alice Through the Looking Glass content was still released even after cancellation.
Lover of Disney Parks, hater of ketchup. For questions or comments please contact [email protected]
Oh my god. I want to burst into tears. Why would a wonder Disney Video Game just get discontinued? Peter Pan would have been a very nice character to have. He would be flying with Tinker Bell in the game. :( Hopefully Disney will bring Disney Infinity back to life soon…. :(

Visual Sports lays the smack down on Wii Sports
I know a lot of people get the Nintendo Wii simply because of it's pack-in game and maybe a few other titles. That can be good and bad for Nintendo as it gets the foot in the door but so far attach rates on the system are fairly dismal as a lot of people just focus on Wii Sports or Wii Play. I don't personally and I have several other games and Wii Sports is fun and has also proven that simple and innovative is an excellent way to get into the market (and dominate it in terms of monthly sales). But there is a step up above what you can do with Wii Sports in the arcade thanks to technology from a company called Visual Sports. Now they can actually get you setup with one of their systems at home but where the price isn't listed on the page, expect sticker shock. But for a larger experience, they do offer these systems for entertainment venues such as arcades, FECs, fitness centers, sports clubs and shops, sporting events and more.
There are two coin-op systems currently available from Visual Sports – RealSports MAX and RealSoccer Junior. RealSports MAX is an upgrade from a previous RealSports system labelled classic where the player can choose from 6 different sports games and face off against virtual opponents. The games include Golf, Soccer, Hockey, Baseball, Football, and Basketball and it also allows for future software upgrades. This one is certainly an attraction game in part because of it's size but also because of the interactivity it offers – no handheld remotes to play with and pretend that you're throwing a ball or swinging a club – you actually can throw a ball and the tracking system will translate it onto the screen. You might recall our story some time ago on Sega's Go Go Golf which is very similar although Visual Sports has been around for a while and has been pioneering the technology for sometime now.
RealSports Junior looks like Kick It! Junior but with an HD screen and much improved graphics. I imagine that the motion detection has been improved over Kick It as well. The cabinet looks nice and although it's pretty large it's another piece that will attract a lot of attention.
The nice thing about both systems is that they don't require an attendant and they can be modified to run redemption. I don't know the pricing structure on these yet so I'll try not to speculate further on that but every time a system like this is put in at a location it becomes an instant earning tool. There is a video of the system in action but when I play it, it locks up quickly.

Meet the couple having a Star Wars-themed wedding at TCL Chinese Theatre on opening night
By Saba Hamedy 2015-12-09 03:23:54 UTC
LOS ANGELES — While Caroline Ritter has done the roughly 15-hour flight from Australia to L.A. two times before to see Star Wars films on opening night at TCL Chinese Theatre IMAX in Hollywood, this time will be extra memorable.
Before the Star Wars: The Force Awakens premieres, Ritter will be having the themed wedding of every Star Wars fan's dreams at the historic theater.

— Saba Hamedy (@saba_h) December 9, 2015
"It was the theater's idea," the 34-year-old told Mashable. "They asked if anyone was interested in getting married here on the premiere date."
SEE ALSO: There's a 'Light Side'? Star Wars used to just have 'The Force' and 'The Dark Side'
Ritter, who works in the mining industry, and fiancé Andrew Porters, also from Hunter Valley, Australia, have been engaged for eight years. The time and place just seemed right.
The two are among the 100 plus fans who joined the "Lining Up For Star Wars" tradition, which entails standing/sitting/hanging out in line for 12 nights ahead of opening night on Dec. 17. However, participants don't have to stay the whole time — they can log their hours and after clocking a cumulative 24 hours in line, they earn a pair of tickets to purchase for the opening show of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Money raised goes to Starlight Children's Foundation.
"This theater changed my life in 2002 it was the perfect spot for us," Ritter said. "I am a veteran of Lining Up for Star Wars 2002 and 2005...the family and friendships we've made, that's why I keep coming back. TCL have been fantastic to let us do this. This is a dream come true."
Ritter was first introduced to Star Wars growing up. She remembers waiting at the library to read the first Jedi book, which was almost always checked out.
Aside from the participants of Lining Up for Star Wars who will be at the wedding, a TCL employee said the event will likely draw in hoards of fans and passersby.

Plus it's going to be live streamed.
"My dad hates flying, even for my own wedding," Ritter said. "But it will be live streamed so he can still see it."
As far as outfits go, Ritter said she is wearing a classic white dress with some added Star Wars flair.
"The dress has handmade crystal x-wing starfighters on it," she said, showing a photo on her phone. "I am nervous but so excited."

Pricing: Depending on the value, size, quantity of items offered will depend on the fees/commission we will charge the vendor. For example: If you have the contents of a 30 bedroom hotel to sell including large furniture then we would charge a set up fee and a low commission. If you have the contents of a jewellery shop (say 300 pieces of quality jewellery) then we would charge a set up fee only and no vendor commission. We can discuss pricing once we have more information as every consignment of assets to sell is different.

Report on Piton de la Fournaise (France) — 18 December-24 December 2002
Smithsonian / US Geological Survey Weekly Volcanic Activity Report, 18 December-24 December 2002
Managing Editor: Gari Mayberry
Global Volcanism Program, 2002. Report on Piton de la Fournaise (France). In: Mayberry, G (ed.), Weekly Volcanic Activity Report, 18 December-24 December 2002. Smithsonian Institution and US Geological Survey.
Volcano Profile | Weekly Report (18 December-24 December 2002)
21.244°S, 55.708°E; summit elev. 2632 m
OVPDLF reported on 19 December that after effusive activity stopped on 3 December very strong seismicity was recorded with more than 1,000 earthquakes occurring per day. The earthquakes were located a few hundred meters below Dolomieu crater. OVPDLF stated that crater collapse is possible.
Geologic Background. The massive Piton de la Fournaise basaltic shield volcano on the French island of Réunion in the western Indian Ocean is one of the world's most active volcanoes. Much of its more than 530,000-year history overlapped with eruptions of the deeply dissected Piton des Neiges shield volcano to the NW. Three calderas formed at about 250,000, 65,000, and less than 5000 years ago by progressive eastward slumping of the volcano. Numerous pyroclastic cones dot the floor of the calderas and their outer flanks. Most historical eruptions have originated from the summit and flanks of Dolomieu, a 400-m-high lava shield that has grown within the youngest caldera, which is 8 km wide and breached to below sea level on the eastern side. More than 150 eruptions, most of which have produced fluid basaltic lava flows, have occurred since the 17th century. Only six eruptions, in 1708, 1774, 1776, 1800, 1977, and 1986, have originated from fissures on the outer flanks of the caldera. The Piton de la Fournaise Volcano Observatory, one of several operated by the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris, monitors this very active volcano.

On Friday October 13th, Timberland and Journeys joined together to green up a section of Philadelphia's cityscape as part of Timberland's Urban Greening initiative. This is the third year in a row where Timberland has invited Journeys to partner with them to create a green space for urban communities. This year over 100 volunteers from Timberland, Journeys, and the City Center District Foundation teamed up to turn the city's abandoned Rail Park into an elevated green space, similar to the idea behind the High Line in New York. Volunteers completed Phase 1 of the urban greening project which included laying out over 65 yards of dirt, transporting hundreds of pavers, and planting over 800 shrubs.
This effort is part of a 5 year initiative by Timberland to green up the cities where people live, work, and play. By the end of the 5 years Timberland hopes to have matched their green space footprint to match their retail footprint. Timberland, who is celebrating 25 years of their company-wide Path of Service program, asked Journeys to help green up this abandoned space that is set to open in early 2018. Journey s is proud to work with brands like Timberland that take intiative to better their communities and to provide employees a chance to volunteer and give back to their community.
On June 22, 2016, Journeys returned to New York City for the second year in a row with an even bigger crew to team up with one of our favorite earth-conscious brands, Timberland!
Timberland partnered with GrowNYC at the United We Stand Garden in the Mott Haven neighborhood of South Bronx, NY to restore 32,000 sq. ft. of green space that was recently devastated by fire. Almost 70 Journeys employees, along with volunteers from Timberland and GrowNYC, spent the day in Mott Haven building picnic tables, making raised garden beds, and filling out the entire space with wood chips, mulch, and soil. Together they moved eight tons of wood chips for pathways, 11 tons of soil for community garden use, constructed 30 garden beds, built eight picnic tables and five benches, moved one shed from one end of the park to the oth er, and created one bootprint-shaped flower bed to leave Timberland's mark.
Journeys is proud to partner with brands that do good, and even more proud of our Journeys employees that aren't afraid to get their hands dirty and show how much they care.
Read more about Timberland's giving back initiatives at www.timberland.com/responsibility.
While Earth Day is celebrated in different ways around the world, Timberland employees recognize the day in their own unique way by pulling on their boots to make a difference. In celebration of Earth Day, approximately 1,800 Timberland employees, business partners, and consumers from around the world will serve close to 13,000 hours at more than 60 community service projects in 20 countries.
This year for Earth Day Journeys partnered with Timberland to help revitalize a rundown 70,000 square foot pumping station, destroyed by Hurricane Sandy, into a usable green farm space! Thirty-two of our employees (from 6 different districts), along with volunteers from Timberland and Grow NYC, spent the day in Coney Island moving soil, building furniture, sign painting and cleaning up the garden.

Volatility has now returned to the stock market after a hibernation of several years. An explosion of volatility normally is indicative of a change of trend. The recent signals transmitted by this market have been classic and has been telling us that we have entered the final topping process of this extended and stretched economic cycle. The trading over the past 7 market sessions fit a classic pattern of market panic which corrects the excesses of a market which just completed an upside climax and had been without correction for close to two years. I believe this panic is now over and the muscle memory of buy the dip will now reassert itself. That however does not mean good times will continue as the froth has now been blown off of the bubble.
Anecdotal signs of a market top have been flashing loud and clear now for the past 6 months. Since last summer the public has finally embraced this market and over the last 3 months have been recklessly plunging head long into it. Complacency reigns supreme so that after last Friday's 666 point drop even the superstitious remained complacent.
Complacency exists due to the lack of any meaningful correction over the past 2 years and valuation levels set records with the S&P 500 trading at 26X earnings and the Russell 2000 at 150X earnings. With interest rates now in an established uptrend we now have a bubble in search of a pin…looks like it may have just found it.
We have noted before that the month of January often accommodates market tops. Gold in 1980, the DOW in 1973 and the Nikkei in 1990 are stand out examples. With the Deep State spying scandal now reaching critical mass the similarities to the Watergate bear market of 1973-1974 have become undeniable. The scandal reaching critical mass means it will now have to run its course to completion, exerting a cancerous effect upon the market.
After putting in 15 consecutive months of higher lows and two years of closes above its 50-week moving average it began to feel like the market would never go down again. After prolonged rises such as this when a correction finally comes around it can unfold quite violently as this one indeed has. Most investors actually have no idea just how extended this market had become. In late December I wrote the piece on how the DOW had entered a throw over top. Throw overs such as the DOW in 1929, Nikkei 1990 and Gold 2011 where shown. We now see the resolution of the current throw over is shaping up like others in the past.
Note how in 1929 RSI peaked at the beginning of the year and the market was able to continue to advance until Sept 1929. This argues that today's market should eventually be able to regroup and make a renewed assault at the existing highs. No guarantees that it will, but in the past momentum has peaked before price, not with price.
It is important that price immediately close up above the upper trend line or the 1929 example could develop. There is so much residual momentum in this market that it could resume its march back up towards its January highs.
What we just experienced over the past 3-6 months was a phase III mania top. It fully expressed itself in the throw-over. The retail public finally came in and threw caution to the wind. It is the final bull run that excites the imagination, however precious little money is made from entering the market at these times, but the bull mania is contagious and it is precisely these times that lambs rush to the marketplace and of course eventually to the slaughter. No money is made, or at least banked in the climatic months of a great bull episode. Serious money is coined by purchases made in bad times, not by chasing fading rainbows of a mature advance. But that is just what we witnessed. Just as winter follows summer, bear markets follow bull markets and the seasons continue.
That is the best description of the bitcoin phenomenon I have seen. Bitcoin started out as an alternative currency in response to the reckless money printing and debt monetization of the central banks. It was a legitimate libertarian attempt to address the issues of currency store of value and oppressive sovereign banking. Just like what happens to all people who get close to Hillary Clinton central bank money printing corrupts everything as well. Bitcoin morphed into a risk asset not a currency due to its violent volatility. Its store of value function has been trashed and the inherent flaw of its blockchain has been revealed to be massive electrical consumption.
If bitcoin doesn't function as a currency what can explain its moonshot rise? It is best explained as an unintended consequence of easy-money monetary venting. Like skyrocketing art prices for the rich, bitcoin became the preferred vehicle of money flows of the young tech savvy libertarian crowd. Simply another case of excess money printing having to go somewhere. It has now had a quick 70% drop, but holders are still holding as there has not yet been any capitulation. This argues for lower prices ahead.
The slaughter of the cyptos is part of the process of wiping the froth off the top of the everything bubble. This marginal investor class has now lost a lot of money and that money is not coming back into the market since it's gone to money heaven. So when the stock market resumes its advance there will be less juice in the system to fuel its rise. It is significant that bitcoin, the most speculative asset in this bubble, peaked in the historic topping window of Dec-Jan. The peaking of the cherry on the top of the everything bubble symbolizes that it's over.
The above commentary is not saying the market goes straight down from here in a bear market. There is too much upside momentum remaining to do that. Over the past week we experienced a violent correction, but it was a classic shakeout type decline. Bear markets are slow grinding declines, the action of the past week was like a fast burning prairie fire, more typical of a correction. A clean out of the Johnny come latelys.
A typical panic will have at least 4 hard down days with a 1-2 day relief rally in the middle of the down sequence. The pressure relief day typically comes after the second hard down day. The decline then resumes and the 3rd down day is typically the scariest. Finally during the 4th hard down day within the panic period an upside reversal occurs and the panic is over. This "typical" model was mentioned in the forum early in the week and is precisely what actually unfolded. Since 1000 point swings in the DOW have characterized this panic, one could continue to expect aftershocks, however I believe the worst is over and buy the dip muscle memory will now come in. The buy the dip habit won't go away until well into phase II of the bear after plungers have been burned enough to say "no mas".
The line chart shows a fledgling inverse H&S bottom starting to build out.
Gold Silver ratio announces trouble ahead.
This indicator has been steadily building since last April. Eventually the credit stress it was reflecting would reach a breaking point which it did this past week. We can see the clean break above the NL as the market imploded. One troubling thing here is how it shows the S&P in a broken H&S signaling it may want to go lower.
The European stock market put in a suspicious looking top last May. It looked done to me, however it put on an impressive recovery. Turns out it was a head fake. The double top it just put in simply looks disastrous… an implosion. Avoid the continent across the pond- it's a flame out.
The rally in the gold stocks which started in early December imploded this week. There was a decent chance it could have lasted another month but succumbed to the overall market decline. After all gold stocks are stocks too. The bigger picture to review is not the stocks, but gold itself. Gold began its bull market in December 2015. In the past 42 years gold has had 6 bull markets. In those bull markets the rally coming after the first correction following the first leg up has lasted 58, 61, 55, 55, and 64 weeks long. Our current rally since December 2016 lasted 55 weeks so its par for the course. We can now expect a retrenchment followed by the resumption of Phase II of the bull in gold. In the chart below the classic buy point will be when the CCI reaches the -100 level as depicted. Once this entry occurs gold should resume its phase II. Phase II is the longest phase where the public eventually comes to understand the bull and wants in.
Anything above $1230 remains a healthy backtest- Shake'm out.
We need to combine the above trigger indicator with my gold bottoming system for a launch signal. As of now the gold bottoming system is NOT on a buy.

15 Surprising Cat Facts + Mood Cat Photo Collection
How dogs see our world: colors
Love, devotion and protection from the most affectionate dogs...
Unlike us humans, cats are not drawn to sweets. And not because they follow the figure, but because they do not distinguish this taste.
Remember "… red, red, freckled, killed grandfather with a shovel …". The sun marked red people with freckles. Did you know that ginger cats can also have freckles on their eyelids and around their mouths.
The fact that cats have the ability to heal a person has been heard by many. Did you know that sometimes they can heal themselves by purring. The purring of a domestic cat has a frequency of 25 to 150 hertz. This range is the frequency at which muscles and bones grow and repair best.
Cats meow to talk to us, not to each other. The only reason they meow to communicate with other felines is when the kitten signals to the mother cat.
While many of us are moved when a cat drinks milk from a saucer, studies show that cats are actually lactose intolerant and should avoid it entirely.
The Cat Fanciers Association (CFA) recognizes 44 breeds.
A cat's sense of smell is 14 times better than a human's. Relying on smells, cats identify both people and objects.
Do cats sweat? Even if you never see it, these animals are born with an efficient cooling system. We have sweat glands located throughout the body, but in a cat only in certain places: on the paws, lips, chin and on the skin in the anus.
Stress can also make a cat sweat. You may have observed at the veterinary clinic that a frightened cat often leaves wet paw prints on the examination table.
In ancient Egypt, if a cat died, the owner had to shave off his eyebrows. It was such a mourning ritual. The owner mourned until his eyebrows grew back.
In ancient Egypt, there was a special law that forbade the killing of cats. Their murder was considered a civil crime, and the punishment could even be the death penalty.
We do not know how proven this assumption is, but some believe that cats have a lower social IQ than dogs. But on the other hand, cats are able to solve more complex cognitive problems, if, of course, they want to. The cognitive system is a system of knowledge based on character, education, observation, reflection on the world around. In a word – a cat is a wise creature!
If your cat does not bury his feces, look at this as a sign of aggression on his part. Thus, she hints that she is not afraid of you! Again, this is theory.
Cats can drink sea water! Their kidneys are able to filter salt from water. But we cannot do this.
Another hypothesis: cats have short-term and long-term memory. This means that they can remember some non-global events and moments for up to 16 hours (for a short time). But, as a rule, cats are more selective in comparison with dogs. That is, they remember only what is beneficial to them.
