The dog days of summer are ahead and that can only mean one thing– summer baseball is right around the corner. If you are trying to decide what showcases or events to attend, what team to play for, and how to balance development, exposure, and rest this summer, this 3-part mini-series is for you! We start off by exploring showcases and camps in this article, we follow up by tackling how to decide where to play in Part II, and Part III brings everything together with a discussion on balancing development, exposure, and rest.
For each of these summer baseball decisions, your skill level and financial situation will dictate the options available to you. Your goals as a ball player and knowledge about each option will help you make educated decisions about what's best for you in the short and long-term. Let's explore some of these ideas and help you figure out what's best for you.
First, consider your skill level. Are you getting invited to invite-only events? Have schools already expressed interest? Are you one of the better players at your school or in your league?  If the answer to these questions is yes, then you are well on your way in the recruiting process. If you are still working hard to get noticed and improve your game, that's okay too. There are good summer options for players at every stage of the recruiting process. It's important to remember that the D1 recruiting rules have changed. Since you will be unable to visit with college coaches on campus tours prior to junior year of high school, really pushing the exposure envelope in the underclassmen (freshman and sophomore) years of high school doesn't make sense. You won't be able to make a fully informed decision until junior year at the earliest. This is a big difference from summer's past when top tier players could commit with all the information they needed at any point of high school. With these changes in mind, let's look at how you can decide on showcases and camps.
Health Notice: You should never go to a showcase if you have not been throwing regularly and/or do not have your arm in mid-season form. This is a recipe for injury.
About Showcases: As we discuss at length in The Truth About Showcases, attending showcases are a recruiting luxury, not a necessity. Despite all the hype that showcases can create, there are many events that will do little more for your recruitment than drain your pockets. The idea that all exposure is good exposure or that you can't get recruited without attending these events are flat out wrong. Because there are many people trying to use showcases to profit from parents and players who don't know any better, doing your research before signing up is a must. If you are worried because you can't afford to attend showcases or camps, take a look at our article on useful free alternatives that can be just as effective.
If you are planning to attend a showcase, make sure you know the total cost and what you are getting for your money. Does the cost include only a pro-style workout (running, defensive skills, batting practice, bullpen) or does it include game play as well? Pay-to-play pro-style workouts by themselves should be substantially lower in cost, showcases with game play are always best if you have the option. Take a close look at the refund policies for weather or other reasons. Make sure you know if the showcase is intended mostly for exposure or mostly for evaluation. If it is meant for exposure, is there a list of college coaches attending? If it is for evaluation, who is going to do the evaluation? Seeking honest, objective feedback in the recruiting process is a must, but for-profit showcases who rely on your happiness and attendance to exist have little incentive to tell you the truth about where you need to improve and where you are falling short. They are likely to tell you what you want to hear and encourage you to come back again. Other things to consider – what do you get for going (hat, t-shirt, video, etc) and is there downtime in the schedule? Showcase video packages usually cost extra and they can be very expensive. We've explained why you should have a skills video, and with a little effort, you can put the same thing together with your iPhone and a YouTube account.
Our Suggestion: We suggest that you always do your homework on showcases and limit the pay-to-play showcases you attend to events that you know will put you in front of schools that interest you the most. Invite-only showcases (where you have been selected/invited for being a top player in your area) are often better attended than random showcases because coaches want to hone in on the better talent pool. Younger players (underclassmen particularly) should focus on development rather than exposure and save showcases for later in the recruiting process. Developing into a player with recruitable skills must come before showcases will be of any use to you.
Why:  Showcases are expensive and provide college coaches with only a snapshot of what you are like as a player. Most of the time, they give coaches a feel for a player's tools and whether they should follow up to see that player in game play. Video can do the same thing. Be smart and check out any showcase before you go. If you have the money to go and you are ready for exposure, pick a showcase that will allow you to show your tools to a variety of schools you are interested in. Showcases turn out best for players who have at least one above average skill or tool to show off. This is where honesty about your ability can really save time and money. If none of your tools will allow you to stand out in a potentially large group of players, you may not be ready for or benefit from a pay-to-play showcase yet.
If you decide not to play on a team or spend the summer training and instead go from one showcase to the next, you are really missing the point. Running a good 60-yard dash, hitting the ball far in BP, and throwing a ball hard across the infield or outfield are all great skills, but doing that over and over doesn't make you a better baseball player or mean that it will translate to game play. Remember, college coaches want baseball players who can help a team win; they are not looking for showcase robots.
About Camps: Camps can be a great way to get in front of college coaches while focusing on your development. Instructional college camps are often a fraction of the price of "showcases" and are more likely to provide valuable feedback and instruction. Camps are good for players of any age because they expose you to college level drills, college level instruction, college facilities, and college coaches. All that is great preparation for later in the recruiting process.
Go to local college camps and be a sponge.
Why: Camps can be a tremendous learning experience and give you insight into what college coaches are looking for. Pay attention to details and notice the way college coaches want things done. Learn from the instruction, ask questions, and ask for feedback. It's a great time to interact directly with college coaches and learn. Don't be scared to speak up, after all, you want to leave a strong impression and set the tone for your upperclassmen years.
Our Suggestion for Upperclassmen: Look for camps at your schools of interest (for exposure) or schools where you really want to learn from the coaches (skill development). Develop an understanding of what these coaches want to see from players they recruit and put your best foot forward. Be a sponge and ask questions. Stand out from the group of campers in a good way by being more invested, being more focused, out-hustling, and getting to know coaches on a more personal level. Take advantage of the facetime with the coaching staff and make sure when camp is over, you've used the time to learn as much as you can, show the coaches the best version of yourself, and make sure the coaches know who you are.
Why: This will be a good chance to learn and get in front of the coaching staff to show what you can do. Make sure you introduce yourself to the coaches on day 1 of camp and let them know you are interested in their schools. Each day at camp, make it a point to seek out and greet the coaching staff with a good firm handshake and ask if there's anything you can do to help. If you are attending a camp to leave an impression, be realistic about your ability and show up knowing the type of player the school is most likely looking for.
Now that you have the resources to play the showcases and camps you may consider attending, we can take a look at things to consider when deciding what team you should play for. That's coming up in Part II. Be sure to check back for it later this week!

Course Comments: Pine and spruce trees line most of the fairways on both the mountainous and meadow portions of this course requiring precision placement shots. Water comes into play on nine holes and sand traps are strategically placed. The view of the ponds, lush fairways and the Pacific Ocean from the elevated golf holes make Beau Pre an esthetically pleasing course to play in addition to testing your golf skills.


Section 23.155. Calculation of variation margin.
17 CFR § 23.155 - Calculation of variation margin.
(1) Each business day each covered swap entity shall calculate variation margin for itself and for each counterparty that is a swap entity or a financial end user using methods, procedures, rules, and inputs that to the maximum extent practicable rely on recently-executed transactions, valuations provided by independent third parties, or other objective criteria.
(2) Each covered swap entity shall have in place alternative methods for determining the value of an uncleared swap in the event of the unavailability or other failure of any input required to value a swap.
(1) Each covered swap entity shall create and maintain documentation setting forth the variation methodology with sufficient specificity to allow the counterparty, the Commission, the registered futures association, and any applicable prudential regulator to calculate a reasonable approximation of the margin requirement independently.
(2) Each covered swap entity shall evaluate the reliability of its data sources at least annually, and make adjustments, as appropriate.
(v) The empirical support for the assessment of the data sources.

Q: Find all images whose source attribute value ends with some string How can one find all images whose source ends with for example "xyz.jpg"?
Using jQuery?
When I do:  jQuery("img[src$='xyz.jpg']") what am I getting back?
Is this an array-like thing or not? I am confused.
Seems like I am getting a single object. How can I get all such objects?

A: jQuery('.some-selector') (or $('.some-selector')) returns a jQuery object (https://api.jquery.com/Types/#jQuery).
A jQuery objects behaves very much like an array of DOM elements. It has a length property and you can access these elements by index ($('.some-selector')[0]), but it is not a true array, and you won't find the common Array methods on this object.
So yes it return a single jQuery object, but that object might consist of zero, one or multiple DOM elements that matched your selector.
When you access the DOM elements in the jQuery collection you get "raw" DOM elements, i.e. you cannot use jQuery methods on them. Typically you would use jQuery methods on the entire collection, or rewrap individual elements in jQuery.

Rory McIlroy hoping for an up week
Rory McIlroy will try to rebound from a disappointing finish in Los Angeles when he tackles the Honda Classic this week at PGA National -- a course where he admits he's had his ups and downs.
McIlroy bested Tiger Woods to win the title in 2012 -- rising to number one in the world for the first time. Defending his title the following year he withdrew while trailing with a painful wisdom tooth.
In 2014 he was again in the thick of things, losing in a playoff, but he missed the cut last year.
"I think it's the nature of me," McIlroy said with a smile on Wednesday, when asked to account for his varied results on PGA National's Champion Course in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
"It's one of these golf courses that if you're slightly off, it can really magnify your misses a little bit, and it can make you feel as if you're playing worse than what you actually are," McIlroy said.
"If you're in control of your golf game, it's one of these coures that you can play well at and you can give yourself plenty of opportunities, and it's not like you need to go crazy low here to be in contention."
McIlroy will tee off on Thursday alongside British Open champion Zach Johnson and reigning Honda Classic champion Padraig Harrington of Ireland.
McIlroy, now ranked third in the world behind American Jordan Spieth and Australian Jason Day, is chasing his first victory of 2016.
His best finishes were a third place in Abu Dhabi and a sixth in Dubai. He was in contention at the PGA Tour's Northern Trust Open last week at Riviera Country Club, where his opening eagle in the final round gave him a share of the lead but he closed with a 75.
He said he didn't spend much time fretting over his eventual tie for 20th.
"I didn't think about it too much," McIlroy said. "I know my game is in good shape and it's there, and I hope to get into contention again this week."
This week's tournament, at a course minutes from his US residence, is a chance to bounce back and begin to build momentum going into the Masters, where a victory in April would see McIlroy complete a career Grand Slam.
"The great thing about golf is there's always next week. If you do stumble, there's the next week to pick yourself back up," he said.

U.S.-German Laser Intersatellite Link Performs Well on 2 Spacecraft
by SpaceNews Editor — June 29, 2004
Space News Business
By PETER B. de SELDING
Space News Staff Writer
— A German company that has spent more than a decade developing laser-optical communications systems for satellites is reporting a "flawless" performance of the technology, which is being used to deliver�� data between
and German low-orbiting satellites.
�In a series of tests that began in February and will continue for at least several months, laser terminals on board
's TerraSAR-X radar Earth observation satellite and the U.S. Missile Defense Agency's Near Field Infrared Experiment, or NFIRE, missile-warning spacecraft have exchanged data simultaneously at speeds of 5.5 gigabits per second, according to the company.
For Tesat-Spacecom of Backnang, the results offer the hope that, based on a U.S.-German governmental agreement and a partnership with General Dynamics of the
, its gear will find its way into multiple
government satellite programs.
The Tesat laser communications terminals�� already are being designed for use on several German and European spacecraft, but Tesat Chief Executive Berry Smutny said the big prize remains the
is our main market, that's clear," Smutny said in a March 13 interview. "That is the market we are doing this for, the market that has the most potential. Our impression is that we are five or six years ahead of others working in this field, and there are a number of
programs that could use this."
In an interview and in documentation prepared for the German government, Smutny said the Tesat terminals functioned when the two satellites were at distances ranging from 2,000 to 8,000 kilometers, including periods when the laser link had to traverse the upper atmosphere.
said it has taken less than 25 seconds, on average, for the terminals to lock onto each other and begin transmissions. A key feature of the gear is its ability to establish and maintain a link even when the sun is directly behind the target satellite.
Continuous transmissions were maintained for as long as the satellites were within line-of- sight position of each other, or about 20 minutes. Bit-error rate, the company said, has been less than one error for every 1 billion bits transmitted.
NFIRE is not producing its own imagery to send to the German satellite. Instead, the TerraSAR-X data imagery is sent to NFIRE, and NFIRE then returns the data by laser at the same time as it receives another packet of data, establishing the two-way exchange at the same 5.5 giga bit-per-second speed, in what Tesat calls "duplex" operations.
designed its current generation of laser terminals for a now-abandoned U.S.-based commercial telecommunications satellite constellation called Teledesic, which called for a transmission speed of 5.5 gigabits per� second� –��� the equivalent of 400 DVDs per hour. But the electronics is qualified to provide speeds of 16 gigabits per second, according to Tesat.
The terminals weigh less than 30 kilograms and run on less than 130 watts of power.
Smutny
said future tests with NFIRE will include sending data from the satellites to ground stations in
and��
. Tesat is building similar laser terminals for
's future TanDem-X radar Earth observation spacecraft, and for the large Alphasat telecommunications satellite being built for European governments and for mobile satellite services provider Inmarsat of London.
�Tesat also hopes to win European Space Agency (ESA) approval to place laser terminals on several of ESA's future Earth observation satellites being built to serve both government and commercial users. In addition, ESA is weighing whether to build its own data-relay network which would feature three satellites in geostationary orbit to transfer data between low-orbiting Earth observation spacecraft and ground teams, doing away with the need for regional ground-reception stations.
, DLR, is considering whether to build its own data-relay satellite, which eventually would be a component of the European system. The European project, envisioned as a public- private partnership with industry, will be one of several to be presented for a decision in November by European space ministers.
Intersatellite
communications, the company said, are "a pre-condition for numerous commercial and scientific missions but also for many security-sensitive applications –��� environmental monitoring, disaster management, border security, defense –��� that require uninterrupted connectivity."
TerraSAR
-X, built with German government and industrial financing for both government and commercial data sales, was launched in June 2007 and declared fully operational in January. NFIRE was launched in April 2007.

Delicious toppings and gooey, cheesy goodness make pizza one of my favorite foods of all time. With all the possible toppings that a pizza can have, it's definitely not a boring food. But when I'm dieting, I try to avoid eating pizzas because of the carbohydrate content.
Sometimes, however, I succumb to this yummy temptation, and my efforts to lose weight go down the drain. Still, because I love pizza and I need to diet, I figured that I had to come up with a food plan.
Maybe there are healthier pizzas out there? What about toppings? Maybe, by opting for more nutritious toppings, I could more or less stick to my diet regime. Luckily, deciding on pizza toppings is not an exact science. Rather, it's an exciting adventure wherein you can truly explore your preferences.
In my quest to discover healthier pizzas, I found out a few things about toppings. Let's see what food items are actually good to have on top of a pizza.
Contrary to popular belief, eating cheese is not really that fattening. Cheese is a dairy product, and dairy products contain linoleic acid that helps in speeding up metabolism. It's actually good to have about an ounce of cheese each day to increase metabolism. Also, get a boost of calcium for your bones with cheesy pizza. Great options include: parmesan, cheddar, ricotta, provolone, and mozzarella.
Seriously, vegetables on pizza? Actually, vegetable toppings are becoming really popular. Not only do veggies taste great with cheese, but these also add some crunch and texture to food. We all know that most vegetables are fibrous, and eating foods that are rich in fiber gets your juices going. Your digestive system uses up more calories to process fibrous foods. Plus, you get many essential vitamins and minerals too. So, consider having some broccoli, olives, garlic, pepper, spinach, and tomatoes on your pizza.
Fruit pizzas are fresh, healthy, and scrumptious too. You can top pizzas with fresh fruits, like pineapples, berries, oranges, grapes, or bananas. Go for canned fruits if you prefer. Do you have a sweet tooth? Why not make a glazed fruit pizza? Just drizzle your choice of fruit sauce, like an orange-lemon glaze, over your toppings.
Mushrooms are known as "natural weight loss foods." Why? Mushrooms absorb a lot of flavor, and they are low in fat and sodium. If you regularly use flavor enhancers when cooking, you won't have to use them while having mushrooms because these delectable fleshy fungi contain glutamic acid, which boosts food flavors. But be careful when eating mushrooms because there are also several types that are toxic, especially when uncooked or improperly prepared. So, only go for mushrooms that are often used in cooking, like portobello, shiitake, morel, and chanterelle.
Build more muscles and increase metabolism with all-meat pizzas. If possible, skip the ham, sausage, and bacon. Go for other healthy meats like chicken, fish, squid, and shrimp. These contain fewer calories than ground beef or pork meat and are succulent toppings too. But you can still indulge in pepperoni or bacon every now and then.

Within one yr, UEFA established a continental soccer tournament, the European Cup (now generally known as the Champions League). The early success within the event belonged to Spain, and particularly Real Madrid. The Spanish capital facet gained the first 5 titles, successful its sixth 6 years after that. In truth, the early historical past of UEFA's match is marked by repeat winners; the primary 25 years of the tourney featured only 11 different victors, and the defending champions gained the Cup 12 times, including three-peats from AFC Ajax (Netherlands) and FC Bayern München (Germany) within the Nineteen Seventies. US Sport played by Immigrant Communities Within the U.S., the game developed primarily among the many immigrant class. While there were attempts to ascertain a national league (the American League of Skilled Soccer Clubs) in 1894, the league fell aside inside three months. Universities declined to take up the game, and it survived largely in neighborhoods, primarily in New England, though immigrant communities in large cities like New York, Chicago, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia helped the game thrived there, and St. Louis in particular had a robust football presence. Within the 1904 Olympics held there, soccer was an illustration sport, and St. Louis' players represented the U.S. In 1912, two totally different organizations petitioned FIFA for recognition as America's football governing authority; FIFA instructed the American Soccer Association and the American Beginner Soccer Affiliation to merge, which they did, becoming the United States Soccer Association (USFA).

This Country: Charlie Cooper discusses this year's comedy hit
By Ed Gove

Wednesday, 11th April 2018
Kurtan and Kerry Mucklowe (Charlie and Daisy May Cooper) in This Country (Credit: BBC)
"Loads has happened since you've last been here," says Kurtan Mucklowe as he welcomes the cameras back for the second series of BBC Three's hit mockumentary This Country.
It's been a hectic series for the show's stars, cousins Kerry and Kurtan, played by Daisy May and Charlie Cooper. There's been fishing, tadpoles spawned in the pond, there was an incident with some aggressive sheep… A busy six weeks in the Cotswold town the pair call home – or rather it hasn't. And that's sort of the point.
"We did a pilot a few years ago and it was set in Cirencester, [but] it's too big, there was too much for them to do," says Charlie Cooper, one half of the show's brother-sister writing duo . "If you set it in a smaller village, it's suffocating. It's isolating for the characters."

The show captures the experiences the siblings had growing up. "It's part of the world that hasn't really been touched upon," believes Cooper. "I think everyone has that childhood experience of being bored and having to make your own entertainment."
That small-town suffocation is key to the show. "Kerry and Kurtan are the underclass," Cooper explains. "They've got so many good qualities but they're so uninspired. They're the product of a not-very-good upbringing and the fact that they live in a rural place with no opportunities."
The best comedies are those which combine the jokes with an emotional honesty and rawness that makes the audience love the characters – even when they might not seem that lovable. "Comedy and tragedy sort of go hand-in-hand," he explains. "The best comedies that've ever been, like Steptoe and Only Fools, they have such warmth to them because these characters are flawed but they come from a truthful place."
That truthfulness has spared the show from accusations of stereotyping, and the pair have been very careful to ensure that the audience is not laughing at the characters, but laughing with them.
"That was a huge thing [for us] when we were writing it. You want the audience to be on their side and don't want it to look like it's finger pointing and - I hate the word 'chav' – but it's sort of chav-baiting," says Cooper. It's a trap that others have fallen into, he believes. "Vicky Pollard [from Little Britain] is a good example of a character that's two dimensional and a stereotype. [We're] trying to stay away from that [by] creating 3D characters that have depth."
The success of the show comes down to their relationship. Early drafts of the series saw Kerry team up with a character (Dale), and the pair would eventually fall in love. "We developed that for like two years, and it got to the point where [the relationship] got in the way of the comedy." Neither could they find anyone with the right chemistry to play the part, so they rewrote the character, and Cooper stepped into the breach as Kurtan.
"The idea of standing up in front of people and talking was something I could never imagine," he reflects. "Ninety-nine times out of a hundred, if I lived my life again, I would never have done anything like this."
He credits his sister with giving him the confidence to take a lead role in the show, however for the pair of them, the support of their parents was key. After Cooper dropped out of university and Daisy had come to the end of her time at RADA, their parents allowed them to live at home, despite not being well off. "They're massive believers in pursuing your dreams, that sort of thing, especially creative things."
Even when money was particularly tight, the family worked hard to support Daisy's acting career. Cooper recalls his sister using the family's last £9 to get the bus to London for an audition. "We had that belief that – especially since Daisy is so talented – that we'd get there eventually. [However] that £9 probably took food out of my mouth," he laughs. "But it was worth it in the end."

Q: Hook ZwDeviceIoControlFile with patchguard enabled on Win 10 x64 I need to change the output buffer whenever a call to ZwDeviceIoControlFile is made. Is it possible to hook ZwDeviceIoControlFile from within a kernel mode driver in Windows 10 x64 while Patchguard is enabled? If not, could I maybe use ObRegister callbacks to change its output buffer?
Would like to know if someone ever succeeded with this on Windows x64 while PG is enabled.

A: I ended up writing a Hypervisor and using EPT to hide the actual hook when PG does a read operation on the region. I am able to fully hook kernel APIs without PG noticing on Win 10 x64.


I've been meaning to set up my own blog for a long time, but it never happened until now. The reason is simple: all popular blog engines are inherently insecure. Take WordPress as an example of one in which major flaws are found almost on a weekly basis.
The solution is of course obvious: create static content and store it as xhtml on regular web space. Unfortunately, there aren't many tools around that do that sort of thing and none of them satisfied my expectations.
Consequently, I've written my own static blog engine in Haskell which generated this very page you're reading right now. It's still rather basic but will be extended as I get around to implementing missing functionality.

Historical Background: Prior to the 9th century, Russia was populated by Slavic tribes, which were the ancestors of the following modern ethnic groups: Moravians, Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Serbs, Croats, Slovenes, Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians. In 980, AD Vladimir I became ruler of Kievan Rus (pre-cursor to Modern Russia). He eventually converted to Orthodox Christianity and made this the official religion of the region. This significantly linked Russia with the Byzantine Empire spiritually, culturally, and economically; in effect, this union sheltered Russia from the influence of the Western Latin Church or Islam. After Yaroslav the Wise's rule in the 11th century, the Kievan Rus became splintered, especially during the 12th and 13th centuries. This was the turbulent time of the Mongol invasions, the establishment of the Golden Horde and a variety of attacks from the West. From the mid 13th century until the reign of Ivan III Vasilyevich, Ivan the Great, Russian princes submitted as vassels to the Golden Horde. In 1480, Muscovy stopped paying tribute to the Golden Horde and the rulers began to refer to themselves as Russian tsars (this would not be an official title until the 16th century). After the fall of the Byzantine Empire in 1453, the Muscovy emerged as the only remaining Orthodox state and established its own army. Ivan IV Vasilyevich, Ivan the Terrible, conquered the khanates of Kazan and Astakhan and developed trade relations with England, but his rule deteriorated as he became increasingly violent and irrational, leaving the state in an economic crisis after his death. Between his death in 1584 and the rise of the Romanov tsars in 1613, leadership was uncertain in what came to be known as the Time of Troubles. The Romanov tsars ruled until the revolution of 1917. Russia's primitive agricultural economy changed with the reign of Peter I, who sought to westernize the economy, the military, and expand Russia's influence. Increasingly, in the later half of the 19th century, the tsars implemented totalitarian policies and sought Russification of the diverse cultures encompassed by the Empire. In the early 20th century, Russia government met increasing protests and uncertainty. In 1914, Russia reluctantly joined the WWI effort against Germany and its allies. In 1917, the Russian Revolution began, which overthrew the Russian Empire and eventually led to communist rule in 1922. From then until 1991 Russia was a part of the communist rule, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, USSR. In 1991, Russia became an independent state and since experienced the pains of rebuilding. Russian President Boris Yeltsin faced political, economic, and regional instabilities in his term from 1991 to 2000. Yeltsin's chosen successor, President Vladimir Putin, now faces the challenge, as Russia moves into the 21st century.
Understanding the trends and social issues of a particular country should always take into consideration the opinions of persons within the country.

Additionally, all customer funds are held at Tier 1 banks.
Pepperstone offers "unfavorable balance defense" but only for its U.K. clients. This has become a relatively crucial function that most online brokers are using these days.

Pepperstone's expenses are really competitive within the online brokerage market. New customers can choose in between the "Standard" account with minimum FX spreads beginning with one pip however no commission, or the "Razor" account with minimum FX spreads starting from zero pips but with commission added. The other instruments used by Pepperstone all have either straight spreads or some mix of spread plus commission.
For example, the broker advertises that the average spread for EUR/USD on Razor is 0.13 pips and a commission will be added on to that. The average spread for the Standard account is 1.13 pips, all in. The average spread cost with an MT5 Razor account for a finished (sell & purchase) EUR100,000 trade, where the base currency is euro, would be 0.13 pips + EUR5.23 commission. This would equate to an overall spread cost of 0.653 pips.
The site's attempt at openness regarding its spreads, while well intentioned, is confusing (outlined in the graphic listed below). Assuming that the distinctions highlighted are errors due to a lack of oversight, which there aren't differences between MT4 and MT5 with respect to FX spreads, Pepperstone's spread costs are amongst the lowest offered in the online retail forex arena.

I don't particularly care for being pregnant. Much to my relief, I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. I just don't feel a "glow". I don't enjoy the aches, the pains, or being uncomfortable. I don't enjoy the raging horrific heartburn I get that feels like my entire chest is being set on fire. I could get into great detail about the many other things I don't like about being pregnant, but I won't go there. Of all of these things, I think the biggest thing I don't like about pregnancy is my particular body during the whole thing. Don't get me wrong. I love this little boy growing inside me just as I loved my girls when I was pregnant with them. But I'm incredibly self conscious when I'm not pregnant, and when I am pregnant, multiply that by 1,000. I'm truly uncomfortable in my own skin. I hate looking in the mirror, I HATE being weighed, I hate how fat I feel and look when I'm pregnant.
Lately tons of people I know in real life and online are pregnant or just recently had babies. Most of them it's their first or second time around and they've all (almost) talked about how much they love being pregnant. They love their growing belly and dressing cute, etc etc. That is so most definitely NOT me. haha!
I always gain a lot of weight during my pregnancies. I've already gained too much with this pregnancy! I lost so much weight last year and now I'm gaining it back. It's something I've always struggled with (my weight) and lately I'm either obsessing over how much weight I've gained or what I'm eating/not eating/shouldn't be eating. And this scares me because the last thing I ever want to be is obsessed with this kind of thing. I do believe that pregnancy should be a joy (at least to an extent) you are carrying a BABY after all!
This Wednesday my kids go back to school. They've been tracked out for the past 3 weeks. When they start school Vlad and I'll be headed off to the park to walk a couple miles. EVERY day. That's the one thing lacking in this pregnancy that I got plenty of during my pregnancy with Zoe. Exercise. So I'm going to walk and this weekend I may go buy some small 3-5 pound hand weights as well. I live in a teeny neighborhood so I have to actually drive to walk, but I'm ok with that. The weather here is awesome and walking is something I like doing. In Arizona I never wanted to go outside because it's just too hot in the late Spring and Summer, and while being pregnant? Forget it!
So, that's my plan. I'm eating healthy and have an occasional "bad snack" or dessert, but I seriously gain 2-3 pounds just from eating dessert one time. NO joke. I've always joked that pregnancy is a weight gain curse for me, but it's true. I'm eating healthier now than I have my entire life and I'm still gaining loads of weight. Good thing being pregnant is only temporary and I'll be able to really diet/watch what I eat once our little son is here.
I can say that one thing I do love about being pregnant is feeling the baby move. It's my most favorite thing in the world. A reminder that a tiny human is in my belly and I'll get to meet him in 4.5 months. :) And once I'm holding my son it'll all be worth it, I know it.
So, pipe up! Is pregnancy the best thing in the world for you or are you like me?
I felt like a whale with all 3 of my pregnancies.. Loved my baby hated being pregnant!
I hated my first trimester. LOVED my 2nd and part of my 3rd. LOATHED my last month & especially the 8 days I was overdue.
I was 19 & 20 when I was pregnant. I was 109 pounds when I got pregnant and 160 full term. I lost the weight pretty easily and then settled at around 120 post. Now I weigh more than when I was full term! I think motherhood rather than pregnancy brings bigger weight struggles for me. What I wouldn't give for my post baby body! Aging, hormones, and a busy lifestyle have done far more damage.
I can honestly say that I literally hated every single one of my pregnancies. If it wasn't morning/noon/night sickness, it was debilitating heart burn, being moody, hemorrhoids, etc, etc, etc. I looked like I had wandered out of Auschwitz continually and usually had to have not one but two or three ultrasounds. Such fun, only not so much.
But, I too, enjoyed feeling that little guy or girl rolling around in my belly and knowing that I would get to meet that person in a short period of time outweighed any and all grief that I had to go through.
Do you breast feed your babies??? That helps BIG TIME with weight loss! I lost 30 lbs by my post partum check up with almost all of my babies (4). Plus, I'm don't know if you're a stress eater (I am!), but you just went through a lot of stress, with a HUGE move and I know that would have made me put some weight on! ! Congrats on this little boy!
Yep! I breastfed my youngest. Didn't lose hardly anything. I tried to breastfeed my oldest but I dried up.
Sorry to say, I actually did enjoy being pregnant. I definitely loved feeling the baby move! But I didn't even mind the rest of it. The only part I didn't like was the last couple of weeks when I was overdue with the first one and the last week of the second one fretting over the scheduled c-section to come. I had never weighed over 110 pounds in my life when I got pregnant the first time. I put on over 50 pounds and lost all but 10. Then with my 2nd one I gained 35 and lost all but another 10 pounds. Now I just can't seem to shake the 130 mark. I don't mind though because its healthier looking than I ever was before kids. I would just like to lose the muffin top. :) At least its only something that we go through a few times in our lives. You'll be back to your healthy lifestyle before you know. I looked at it as the two times in my life that it was ok to let my weight go and no one would judge me.


As more people forego the rockers for grand adventures, trying to cross things off their bucket lists, it seems prudent to discuss the safest and smartest ways to do so. Traveling seniors are in an interesting bracket because they have learned enough about the world around them to be well acquainted with Murphy's Law and yet they also have additional concerns that must be addressed in order for their travels to provide all they are hoping for.
If they get the travel bug as intensely as Stephen Collins has over the years, then they will certainly be making their way into some incredible experiences. Perhaps they can follow in his footsteps and visit Italy, Mexico, Morocco, London, and France. Of course, they may have their own agenda. No matter where they set out to go, traveling safe and smart is an imperative.
Knowing when to go is the first step in safe and smart travel. Of course, as retirees they are free to pick up and go whenever the sightseeing itch arouses them. However, there are certainly some places that are best visited at specific times of year in order to make the most of the experience and expenditure. So knowing when to travel where is key to an enjoyable trip.
Travel Insurance– Yes, as a senior it is going to cost more for travel insurance than a younger individual would have to shell out. However, seniors are generally the people most in need of that same insurance. This is particularly important for those on Medicare because that form of health insurance is only valid in the US. Make sure to investigate the evacuation insurance included on any travel insurance plan. Read more.
Pack Light– Seniors need to ensure that their luggage is manageable. They should be prepared to do laundry wherever they intend to travel. That will enable them to pack less clothes and thereby travel lighter. The last thing they want to do is wear themselves out hauling luggage.
Medications– Taking all medical supplies in vast quantities is highly advisable. However, seniors will need to investigate the rules and regulations of their destinations. Some countries have bans on specific medications and their derivatives. Ensuring that all medications are in their original containers is a necessity as well. And, if there is a need for vitamins or supplements make sure those are included in the packing. Learn more.
Flying Advice– If the flight is not a non-stop one, then it is best to check bags. Seniors don't want to have to lug their carry-on's from one flight to the next. The walking and lugging could become quite tiresome. And no one wants to be exhausted before arriving at the destination.
Check the Accommodations– Before seniors determine where to stay on their trips they should make sure that the hotels, or other lodging options, provide adequate accommodations for people their age. Ensuring that stairs are not the only way to a room is a good idea. And, making sure that taxi's or trains are readily accessible from the lodging is advisable as well.
