The New Moon of August 2nd is characterized by a Mystic Rectangle that begins July 30th and persists until August 4th. Mystic Rectangles are comparatively rare, but we note that 2016 has an abundant supply of them. (Click Here to compare other New Moons of 2016. And click here to compare the Full Moons of 2016.)
Hillary Clinton also has a Mystic Rectangle in her natal chart.
Here is the chart of the New Moon, filtered to identify the Mystic Rectangle:
The question remains: WHAT IS a Mystic Rectangle? A variety of comments have been made, but analysis of astrological patterns is not discussed much elsewhere (that I have found) and I am left with the impression that it is a late 20th Century / early 21st Century innovation. (I am sure someone "out there" has evidence to the contrary. But, so far, I have not seen it.) Here are some of the links we have found:
Cafe Astrology on Aspect Patterns
J Buss on Mystic Rectangles We note that Buss also calls these "Golden Triangles"
Kelli Fox on Mystic Rectangles
Kepler College on Lucifer's Rectangle
Lunar Living on Mystic Rectangles
Real Astrology Academy on Mystic Rectangles
These all say the same thing: (1) they describe the pattern (two oppositions tethered together by sextiles and trines and (2) it is a rare but benevolent pattern. On #2, some variance exists with some saying that it is merely "helpful" while others describe it as "golden." We think that it may include important lessons learned since we have seen it tied to certain traumatic events this year.
In any case, a window is open containing one from July 30th until August 4th of 2016, and the Leo New Moon is contained within that window. Since what we call a "Kite Key" is also present (two interlaced Kites that are often associated with a Mystic Rectangle), we think that a rare window of opportunity is present here. We suggest you seize it.
This New Moon also has a Hele (long term alliances) and Rosetta (short term alliances that might include treachery) present. We present the New Moon filtered first for the Hele and then again for the Rosetta:
We think these patterns mostly speak for themselves and need little explanation to regular readers of this site. But we will recap: the Hele (Venus / Uranus + Mars / Chiron) is about long term alliances and choosing between one side or the other. (For this reason, we consider both the Hele and Rosetta as "polarizing" influences that lead to conflicts such as The Police (as a collective) versus the Black Lives Matter movement (as a collective).) In this case, one side (leg) is Venus / Uranus (unusual romances or innovative finance, take your pick) and the other is Mars / Chiron (the Wounded Healer (health, education) in alliance with The Martians (Warriors such as police, military, and similar)). You can pick one side or the other but not both.
The Rosetta has Mars / Chiron on one leg (and we note that is RATHER similar to Mars / Neptune) and Astraea / Vesta on the other leg (law and lawyers aligned with traditions and "the way we have always done things). We think, among other things, this might involve the privacy battles between, on one side, Apple and the EFF (and most of the tech community), and, on the other side, the NSA and FBI (and most of the police and intelligence agencies). Needless to say, elements within each "side" do not trust other elements within the same side. Presenting a "unified front" is tricky.
This complex and sophisticated New Moon has more to offer. Upon filtering for Kites, we found what we call a "Kite Key." This is a pair of interlaced Kites, and it represents a rare and incredible opportunity for those with "eyes to see it." Here is the same New Moon, filtered for the Kites (and "Kite Key"):
We note that the Apex of this pattern is found in Vesta in Cancer: traditions and "how we have always done things" particularly with regard to home, oceans, graves (and graveyards), and anything having to do with water or any kind of "final resting place."
The underlying Grand Trine is composed of asteroids, and if you do not use those then you can disregard much of what we are saying. (But, we think most of the audience DOES want to here what we have to say.) Here is the same chart, filtered for the Grand Trine underlying the Kites:
Finally, a Yod is present. That means you MUST make an important decision. You can choose one side or the other, but you cannot choose both. Here is the same New Moon, filtered for the Yod:
The last time we had a New Moon on August 2nd was 1970. If you were born on that date (August 2nd of 1970) then this NM represents a special turning point for you. We would argue that the same is probably true, also, for those born on August 1st or August 3rd.
Next is a list of Leo New Moons from 1950 until 2050.

Full Moon 2016-07-19 Diamond Pattern

The Full Moon of July 19th of 2016 has a rare diamond pattern in it.
We will have more to say about this FM as it approaches perfection, but you need to know now that this indicates we are in a window of rare and powerful importance. Diamond patterns are rare, and we had one on the Winter's Solstice of 2012 (when many people predicted the end of the world). We are not at the "end of the world," but we (collectively) are facing major change, and this diamond pattern confirms that.
This is likely the most pattern rich lunation we have seen since we started the blog in 2008. (But, you might want to compare this to the Full Moon of May 21st, also an important lunation this year.) The following patterns are included in this particular lunation:
Rosetta (several)
Hard Rectangle (has been associated with violence when not properly channeled)
Mystic Rectangle (a sign of rare opportunity and present in Hillary Clinton's birth chart)
Kites (two, interlaced; signs of powerful opportunity)
Thor's Hammer (aka God's Fist, a pair of them in an incredibly rare configuration resembling a Star of David)
Grand Cross (sometimes associated with violence as we saw in late June of this year)
A Yod (sign of a decision; a "fork in the road" where we must decide with no turning back)
We will have more to say in the hours that come as this FM perfects, but we are just getting the basics out there for anyone else interested in patterns. Let's face it: we live in unusual times, and the days really are bringing new, and sometimes disturbing, events.
The Rosetta is a sign of quick alliances that might turn to treachery or deceit later. Pick your "friends" carefully at this time. This chart has SEVERAL of them:
We have seen the Hard Rectangle previously associated with violence this year. (Compare the Hard Rectangle of April 22nd.) This FM has one of those, also:
The Mystic Rectangle is also particularly rare. We note that Hillary Clinton's birth chart has one of these. They bring special gifts and opportunities to a person, and they bring the same to a window of time and the events in that same window of time.
We note that in addition to containing the Full Moon itself (Cancer Sun opposed by Capricorn Moon), that the Mystic Rectangle also contains Astraea (law and lawyers) in Virgo (healthcare and accounting) opposite Chiron (the Wounded Healer and Teacher) in Pisces. I bet major changes are happening that involve BOTH the legal system and the healthcare system. (We may not be publicly aware of them, but they are happening. The story will eventually come out.)
On a personal level, it is best to take care of either set of matters (legal system, healthcare, accounting / record keeping, and educational) at this time. This is, clearly, a turning point.
We have two interlaced kites present. This could be considered to be a "kite key" or something similar. These are not just "kites" (windows of opportunity), they are "super kites" (huge windows of opportunity, if you have the eyes to see it).
We note that these Kites CONTAIN the Mystic Rectangle WITHIN them! Open your eyes: something special is waiting for you! We note that a similar pattern occurred with the Winters Solstice of 2015.
An incredibly rare pair of Thor's Hammers are also present. These are INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS, but they also contain the power to "get things done." Channel that energy (and anger) into a constructive process that harnesses the opportunity (opportunities, really) that are present.
We call this unusual pair of Thor's Hammer patterns a "Thor's Hammer Star." (But, if you like to call them the "God's Fist" patterns, then we would call this the "Star of God" pattern. Truly this signals that God / the Universe / your Higher Power is speaking to you now. Please listen!) We note that each of the nodes ("Rahu" and "Ketu") are each at the apex of each Thor's Hammer pattern. The nodes are considered "fate" or "karma" by many astrologers.
Also present is a Grand Cross. The mutable grand cross of late June was discussed much by a number of astrologers. The consensus was that it was associated with the shakeups and violence of that period.
We note that this is a CARDINAL Grand Cross. The Mutable Grand Cross was about ENDINGS and cleaning things out. This one is about launching new things, though we may still want to do some "cleaning out" during the next two weeks of the waning moon.
A Yod is also present:
Yods are places where we MUST make a decision. Even "deciding not to decide" (abdication) is a decision. We are at a fork in the road. We must choose and never look back. The other path will always "look better," but it, too, had its difficulties. The time to decide is at hand.
Finally, we note the presence of a Grand Trine. It is contained within the heart of the pair of kites we mentioned earlier. It brings "good times" and can make us lazy when we should be working. Do not let the opportunity slip by you.
We will add more, later, as we approach perfection of this FM. But, for now, we have covered "the basics." And, in this case, those "basics" present to us very much to consider and act upon.

2016-03-31 Mercury Conjunct Uranus (Kite + Hele + Mystic Rectangle)

This is the kind of day that will pass you by in the blink of an eye if you do not take a moment to capture the insights and images that present themselves. Camera, video recorder, cell phone, notepad, and whatever can benefit you greatly when you see that one fleeting moment that you may never see again. Today is all about insights, powerful insights, and the patterns here tell us that "somebody" can benefit greatly from them.
Surprises and accidents can happen as well. Be on top of what can be learned from them.
The obvious source of the benefit is a "kite" pattern in play, and we show perfection of Mercury Conjunct Uranus (Aries) filtered for that pattern:
The key issue here is one of trust (Juno) v. "how we have always done things" (Vesta). They can (and do) oppose each other, but they "might" can be integrated. Moon and Jupiter (in grand trine with Vesta) complete the Kite, and we have a situation where lawyers and police officers may benefit from disgruntled wives, mothers, sisters, aunts, and similar. (Do keep in mind that in these kinds of situations where someone "wins" usually someone else "loses." Sometimes this is called a "zero sum game.") Do keep in mind that, despite what Hollywood would brainwash us to believe on television, that not all lawyers and not all police officers are honest. (And, if you are on the "wrong side" of this, standing to lose despite total innocence, you better get on top of it quickly.)
The kite COULD be the "end of things," but a Hele and Mystic Rectangle are present. The Hele tells us that "long term alliances" are likely to form today, and people will polarize (or continue to polarize) on one side of the issue. Be certain you know who your friends are and who they are not.
The Pluto / Uranus Square (dissolving) form one part of the Hele (it seems to insert itself into almost everything!), and Jupiter (long distance travel, higher education, law and legal) and Astraea (law and legal) form the rest. Looks like these alliances are likely to involve legal battles.
And THAT could be the "end of it," but it is not because we ALSO have a Mystic Rectangle present at time of perfection of this aspect:
If you DO NOT LIKE the cards you have been dealt with the Kite (it seems a bit lopsided), you have a "way out" with the insights of the aspect combined with the Mystic Rectangle. The Jupiter / Neptune opposition gives you a doorway to find certain insights and change the outcome.
But, in any case, capturing the thoughts and doing the work of the Magician to channel those thoughts in the ether (or, since the Physicists do not like that term, the "Higgs Field") into manifestation.
Here is a list of Mercury / Uranus conjunctions (past and future):

Donating organs
`, append : `
`, deferred: $.Deferred().done(function() { console.log('Printing done', arguments); }) }); }
Question: Is it allowed for a living person to donate an organ from his body?
Answer: It's not allowed to donate ones organs because it's not considered his property however, if donating an organ that's not harmful for the person can help save a life, then its permissible.
The ruling of fish that have no scales
Question: Is it possible that you could give us the reasons on why fish that have no scales are not allowed to consume?
Answer: There's reliable proof that makes it clear that it's not allowed to consume fish that have no scales but why Allah The Exalted has made it forbidden, Allah says in the Holy Quran (Hes not asked about what He does but they will be asked about what they do, {The Prophets verse 23})
A man imagining about a women
Question: What's the ruling on a man imagining about a woman?
Answer: Allah doesn't take an account upon what may come to one's mind due to this being outside his control however, he must not allow his imagination or thoughts reach a point to where it becomes forbidden because this he has power over.
Wife and hijab
Question: I'm going to marry soon, so is it allowed for me to permit my wife to remove her hijab inside the house, being that I live with my family and I have brothers, so it's difficult for her to wear the hijab for long periods of time in the house?
Answer: Its not in your hands to allow your wife to remove her hijab because its an obligation to carry out that which is obligatory, so its necessary that your wife wears the hijab even if your brothers are living with you in the same house. She isn't allowed to remove her hijab in front of others who are not permitted to see her uncovered. She must be patient and you should try to improve your affairs in the future by getting your own place.
Using organs from the deceased for medical reasons
Question: Is it allowed to take certain organs from the body of a deceased person for medical purposes?
Answer: It's not allowed due to the sanctity of the human whether alive or dead but if it's necessary for gaining important medical information, then the body of a non-muslim should be preceded and used instead.
Wearing socks for women
Question: Is it necessary for the wife to wear socks while wearing the Islamic hijab while amongst the husbands brothers, being that they all live in one house?
Answer: Precaution should be observed in covering them.
Question: Sometimes doctors may advise the mother to abort her fetus due to certain deformities or complications, so in these cases is it permitted to abort the fetus?
Answer: These are justifiable reasons for aborting the fetus and it will be considered killing an innocent soul which requires a ransom of blood money.
If the body and form of the fetus is so deformed that it wouldn't be considered a human, then is this case it would be allowed to abort it.
Carrying out acts of worship but not being an observant of hijab
Question: I've been praying and fasting for 15 years however I haven't been observant with hijab.
I have the desire to wear it and I want to be a good example for my children, so what can I do to strengthen my faith?
Also my mother doesn't want me to wear hijab.
Answer: The fact that you understand that wearing the hijab is from amongst the commandments of Allah The Exalted that must be observed is enough to encourage you and motivate you to wear it.
The commandments of Allah The Exalted and that which He's forbidden can't be compromised as Allah The Exalted says in the Holy Quran (These are the boundaries established, therefore don't transgress the limits)
Also the fact that your mother doesn't want you to wear the hijab doesn't mean that you're doing something disrespectful towards her because the fault doesn't lie with you but with your mother because she's not observant of the boundaries set by Allah The Exalted.
Wifes involvement in particular affairs of the husband
Question: Is it permitted for a woman to prevent her husband from going to a café or going out with his friends?
Answer: There's no justifiable reason Islamically for her to do so as long as the act or place isn't associated with forbidden things.
It should be understood by the wife that by dong such, it can cause a rift to occur between them but by strengthening the ties of love and connection will help treat this matter in a positive way.
The ruling in participating in betting in sports matches
Question: Is it permitted to participate in betting in sports contests such as horse racing?
Answer: Betting itself is forbidden and has no justification in doing so just to be able to help those who are poor because there's no obedience for Allah The Exalted when the actual act itself is forbidding, so the ends doesn't justify the means.

Secondary suite reform in central wards headed to council this spring
Jason Markusoff, Calgary Herald
Ward 7 councillor Druh Farrell.	Ted Rhodes / Calgary Herald
When council considers a mass rezoning for homes in more than one-quarter of Calgary for secondary suites this spring, it will be in the areas that could bring the biggest boost to post-secondary students.
The next big debate on secondary suite reform will be a proposal to erase zoning restrictions for basement dwellings in Wards 7, 8, 9 and 11 — the most central wards, and the ones whose councillors are most firmly in favour of allowing suites throughout Calgary.
Those wards are also home to SAIT Polytechnic, Bow Valley College and both city universities.
"A lot of the more suburban neighbourhoods are zoned for secondary suites, but it's incredibly difficult for a student to go from Cranston, for example, all the way to University of Calgary or Mount Royal," said Erik Queenan, student association president at Mount Royal University.
He lives in a basement suite — he's pretty sure it's zoned properly — in Brentwood. A proposed suite rezoning in that Ward 7 neighbourhood was one of four that council heard and approved at Monday's meeting.
"There are a lot of illegal suites in Brentwood. It would be good to see them be converted to legal and safe suites," said area councillor Druh Farrell, a member who long pushed unsuccessfully for suite reform in all 14 wards before seeking more localized change.
In those four wards, 32,334 single-family house lots are currently zoned to allow basement or backyard suites without the owners having to appeal directly to city council. This proposed change would bring in an additional 35,395 properties, though would-be suite developers would still have to make building and development permit applications for their secondary units.
Open houses for the proposed change will start later this month, before they go to the Calgary Planning Commission in March and then a hearing at council weeks later. With council mostly opposed to citywide reform, it's unclear suite proponents can secure the eight votes needed to win.
Community associations have tended to be the largest bloc opposed to secondary suites. That's more common in suburban wards, though this change would affect some neighbourhoods that are on record being against widespread rezoning, including Elbow Park and Southwood in Brian Pincott's Ward 11.
Council would likely learn at a public hearing how much resistance there is.
"I don't have community associations that speak against secondary suites to me, but I'm pretty clear on my position on secondary suites, so if there are people that are against it, they might be choosing to conceal their opposition," said Ward 9 Coun. Gian-Carlo Carra.
Queenan said a reform in the central wards would help improve affordable housing supply in a city with a roughly one-per-cent rental vacancy rate — with affordable dwellings especially scarce.
Often, he hears from students who bring up problems with their suites only at the end of a year.
"Which is telling us that students are afraid to make complaints to their landlords about their living conditions, because they're afraid of eviction," he said.

Perhaps you've seen the ads for Nissan's new Xterra too many times and grown cynical, saying to yourself, "This thing is targeting me too directly. There has to be a hitch." We had the same reaction, which is why we test-drove one. And we did find a hitch: All those sport-specific add-ons played up to such effect in the ads (the first-aid kit, the external gear basket, etc.) are in fact the least useful parts of this truck. What we did find useful was the pep of its V6 engine and the smoothness of its ride, even in Loveland's potholed parking lot. Best of all? These things are pretty cheap ($25,549 for the tricked-out one we drove; $17,349 for the 4-cylinder) -- a far cry from the insane Escalante mentality that dominates most of the SUV world.

I was talking to a client this week about taking the perspective of others.
I've written about this before … twice.
At one point he gave me an example that drove it home for me. It was such an obvious example of the importance of taking other's perspectives that I can't believe I hadn't heard it, seen it, or thought of something similar before.
He told me the story of the airline hostess and the passenger.
If you've heard or read this one before then bear with me, please.
I don't know how many flights in a day a member of an airline's crew does but the way the story was told to me this particular hostess was not on her first. She was tired. She had been dealing with passengers all day, and she was a little irritated.
The customer had rung the attendant call bell and asked for something. Not being completely on her game the hostess had been a little short with the customer.
For the customer, this was her first flight … ever … and she was very excited about it.
Take a moment to put yourself in the shoes of both those people. How would the behaviour of each have impacted on the other?
Imagine the enthusiasm and expectations of the passenger.
Imagine how much the hostess must have been longing for home after a long day at work.
What might you have done in either of their situations?
The experienced lecturer and the eager student.
The restaurant waiter and the patron who has had a booking for a month for this particular restaurant.
The tired parent and the excited child.
For me, this brought home, again, the importance of taking other people's perspectives. We deal with people every day, and we have an opportunity to leave a lasting impact on people. This was reinforced as I listened to the Tim Ferriss podcast interview with Adam Robinson this week. They talked about how "Suffering is an excessive focus on ourselves." When we focus on others, we are the happier for it. And when we take other people's perspectives we learn, and we develop our ability to deal with complexity by expanding our world view.
We make interpretations of events based on our experiences. Those experiences shape how we judge others. Once we have formed judgements, it then becomes difficult to suspend those beliefs and see things from others perspectives. But it can be done.
I've talked before about being curious about people. What does that look like? Ask yourself things about the other person like what jobs they've had, what their family circumstances might be like, what's important to them, what might have just happened that has shaped that behaviour.
There are a couple of points to note when doing this.
Firstly, come up with multiple options. Your first answer may or may not be correct. A variety of answers gives you more information with which to form your understanding.
Secondly, consider options that are radically different to your world view. Allow yourself to be inclusive. Have new ideas.
Finally, prepare to be wrong.
If you follow the steps above you have will have a hypothesis and a mindset that will allow you to engage with people, learn from and about them, and increase your ability to connect.
Curiosity will lead to connections which can increase our ability to build relationships. If we have a relationship with someone then we can influence them. If we can influence them then we can lead.
And leadership is the key to thriving.
So, that is my ramble done for this week. What do you think? Do you agree, disagree or does your opinion lie somewhere in the middle? I would love to get your feedback and your thoughts.
If you would like to discuss the concepts discussed in this article, or any topics relating to leadership, please feel free to get in contact with us here at Campbell Leadership Solutions. We would like to talk to you about how we may be of assistance.
And finally, thank you for reading and leading.


In case you're wondering, that's the kanji for "higashi" which you should know means "east" by now!
Yes, folks, there is a difference. This one is a .jpg file, and the quality of .jpg files varies from computer to computer, and browser to browser.
Which is why since I was able to make a good quality .gif of the above, I chose to have both file types. Being as .gif files use a palette of colors, this will look the same in any browser.

Job Search Secrets: Targeting Done Right
If your job search centers on your resume and scattershot networking, you may never find a new job, says career coach Vicki Brackett. Here, she proposes the targeted job search as the most effective job hunting strategy in a recession.
By Meridith Levinson
CIO |
What's the best way for job seekers to land a new job in this dismal market? Target specific employers and network your way into them, career experts say. It's sound job search advice. Unfortunately, most job seekers go about this the wrong way (or they don't do it at all), says Vicki Brackett, a career coach and president and CEO of Make It Happen Consulting.
[ CIO.com's IT Job Search Bible ]
Job seekers make many mistakes in their job searches, including over-relying on networking with people who can't offer much help in this job market, such as recruiters and HR managers, says Brackett. But their biggest misstep is conducting their job search backwards, she says. In other words, they start by updating their résumé, which they then send out to their network, hoping those people will pass it on.
Such a scattershot approach to networking and to the job search doesn't work when thousands of unemployed professionals are using the same approach and job opportunities are so limited, says Brackett.
[ 10 Secrets for Searching for a Job in a Recession ]
Instead, she advises job seekers to think of themselves as a product and market themselves like an agency.
"If we were going to sell an energy drink, we wouldn't create the energy drink and then go to stores hoping they'll buy it," she says, adding that's the cart-before-the-horse approach job seekers take with their résumés. "We'd first do research. We'd find out who would drink the energy drink, what they're looking for in an energy drink, how it would help them, how we'd get it to market, and what the packaging looks like. Once we understand that, we perfect the beverage and go to market."
So in a job search, adds Brackett, job seekers should first identify the industries and the companies where they'd fit. If they identify any movement in a company—whether it's the stock price going up or down, talk of merger or acquisition activity, an executive resignation or a new executive hire—that signals a potential opportunity, she says.
[ How to Conduct an Employer-Centric Job Search ]
The job seeker's next step: learn everything you can about the industry and your target employer(s). You need to know the industry's and the company's pain points and business goals so that you can communicate exactly how you're going to solve the company's problem. Employers want to hear your strategies for making the company money, saving money and minimizing risk, says Brackett.
Read on for the most important part of the story, about learning to speak the prospective employer's language and NOT targeting the hiring manager. "Executives need to speak a new language in their résumés, cover letters, marketing letters and bios," she says. "They have to speak to how they're going to move a company in a recession, how they've cut costs and increased market share. Employers want to know specifically what you're going to do for them. Your successes from 10 years ago when everyone was making money is not what the company is going to need."
Once a job seeker has developed a list of target companies and customized his marketing materials for each one, he can start sending out his résumé, but he still shouldn't send it to just anyone, warns Brackett.
Many career coaches recommend that a job seeker sends his résumé directly to the hiring manager. Many job seekers try to find anyone in their networks or in their friends' networks at the target company to whom they can send their résumé. Brackett suggests a different approach.
She tells job seekers to send their marketing materials not to the hiring manager but to the individual who is one level above the hiring manager. For example, if the hiring manager is the CIO, the person one level above may be the CFO or the CEO. Brackett also advises job seekers to send their résumés and cover letters to people who are peers of the hiring manager or one level above the hiring manager in other departments. If some or all of them then show the job seeker's résumé to the hiring manager, the job seeker has a much better chance of getting in, she says.
Brackett doesn't mean to say that job seekers should stop contacting recruiters, HR managers, hiring managers and network contacts altogether. She just thinks a more concerted, organized approach is more effective in this economy. She also wants job seekers to ask themselves whether traditional job search strategies are working.
"If not," she says, "do something else."

It would be incorrect to state that "most" Christians do not view Mormonism as a Christian religion. A 2007 survey by the Pew Research Center reported that a majority of Catholics (52%) say that Mormons are Christian; 29% say they are not. Among all Protestants, more say Mormonism is a Christian religion than say it is not by a 49%-to-34% margin. This includes 62% of white mainline Protestants who say Mormons are Christians.
Of the major Christian groups, white evangelical Protestants are the most likely to say Mormonism is not a Christian religion: 45% say Mormons are not Christians, while 40% say they are Christians.
While many Christians see Mormonism as a Christian religion, most Christians do not see their faith having much in common with Mormonism. Among all non-Mormon Americans who express a religious preference (most of whom are Christians themselves), fully 62% say that Mormonism and their own religion are "very different." This opinion is held by 67% of white evangelical Protestants, 61% of white non-Hispanic Catholics and 56% of white mainline Protestants.


Serena Williams will resume her quest for a record-equalling 24th grand slam title at the Australian Open in January after organisers on Wednesday confirmed her entry to the tournament she won for a seventh time on her last appearance in 2017.
The 37-year-old American achieved her victory over sister Venus in the final two years ago while eight weeks pregnant with her daughter Alexis Olympia, who was born the following September.
Williams reached the Wimbledon and U.S. Open finals after her return last year but lost both, leaving her one short of Australian Margaret Court's tally of grand slam singles titles.
Williams is scheduled to play an exhibition tournament in Abu Dhabi in the final week of the year before heading to Australia to warm-up for her assault on the Melbourne Park title at the Hopman Cup in Perth.
Also among the 102 women and 101 men to have confirmed they will compete in the first grand slam of 2019 is five-times runner up Andy Murray, who missed three of the four majors last year because of a hip injury.
Reigning champion Roger Federer will be gunning for a record seventh men's single crown from Jan. 14-27, while Caroline Wozniacki will embark on her maiden grand slam title defence at Melbourne Park.

The first college in what would become the United States was Harvard, founded in 1636. The first state to establish a public university was Georgia, in 1785. (North Carolina managed to get one up and running first, however.) The first college to win a Rose Bowl was the University of Michigan, squashing Stanford 49-0 in 1902.
Maybe you knew all that already. But do you know which college was the first to adopt a live mascot, to go co-ed—or to look on, aghast, as students dashed naked across its campus?

Review: The Thousandfold Thought by R. Scott Bakker
Review: The Blood Knight by Greg Keyes
Having finally learned of her uncle Robert's coup of her father's throne Anne Dare sets about gathering a force strong enough to challenge him. However there are those who may wish to use Anne as a figurehead to further their own ambitions. Strange forces are at play and Anne begins to realize that she and her unique new powers may be pawns in a much larger game. Stephen meanwhile is embroiled in a rather delicate situation of his own. Forcibly separated from his companions the foundations of his understanding of the world is tested again as he learns that different factions are in operation in the church. Stephen finds himself charged with the task of recovering the dairy of Virgenya Dare herself. Aspar and Winna set off to try rescue Stephen. This soon turns into a fight for their own survival when a chance encounter with Fend and a woorm lead to them being poisoned by the beast.
Keyes uses the same technique as the previous two installments of ending most chapters on a cliff-hanger before switching view points. Again I feel that this works well in terms of pacing and you can't really complain about it when the next chapter addresses an earlier cliffhanger. The focus is very much on Stephen, Anne and Aspar on this book with Muriele and Leoff, and to a lesser extent Neil and Casio taking back seats. All three characters are forced to confront aspects of themselves that they don't necessarily like.
Having laid the ground work in the first two novels Keyes takes this one in a bit of a different direction; turning some aspects on their head. Where before it seemed obvious where good and evil lay in these books I'm now left wondering whether the 'good' characters are in fact doing the right thing and visa versa with the 'evil' characters. I am certainly anxious to see where Keyes takes this in the final installment.
Overall yet another strong offering from Keyes. 8/10.

It's probably occurred to you that you should save for retirement, but for those without any idea of how they'd like to go about it, here's an overview of some popular options.
The five dollars you have today will not be able to buy as much for you in twenty years as it does today. This is called inflation. The way we get around this issue in saving for retirement is saving our money in a way that the five dollars we put away for the future now will grow and become the amount that we need to buy the same things the five dollar bill could get us today.
These are popular ways of doing this, they include 401k accounts, IRAs, Cash balance plan and purchasing real estate.
A 401k is an employer sponsored savings account. Your employer will usually offer a small match for your contributions, typically up to a certain percentage of your income, around 1-3%. This is very helpful savings bonus that is unique to this type of account. Your savings will then be invested in a plan you choose that involves stocks, bonds, money market accounts, and various other kinds of investments. Over the years your account will hopefully earn you returns, which when combined with the 401k match, should help you avoid inflation and ensure that you save enough for retirement.
An IRA, or independent retirement account, is similar to a 401k except that you set it up on your own. You can go to a bank, credit union, or other financial institution and set one up on your own. You have a lot more control over this type of account. There is no employer match, but you have a lot more freedom in choosing what kinds of investments you're interested in pursuing.
Like a traditional defined benefit plan, a cash balance plan provides a future benefit amount at retirement. Similar to a defined contribution plan, but unlike traditional pension plans, the promised future benefit is shown as a separate account balance which can then become a monthly pension benefit or a lump sum payout at retirement. Typically, lump sum distributions are available upon termination, death, retirement or attainment of age 62 even if still actively employed. Learn about cash balance pros and cons.
Another popular option, down a very different route, is to invest in real estate. This is an investment you can get some use out of, buying a vacation home, or using it as a rental property and earning money that way over the years. The idea here being that when you go to retire you can sell the property you own and then have cash for your retirement.
When making a retirement plan it's often best to consider a mix of these types of options to hedge your bets a little and have a variety of investments working for you. This gives you the best of all worlds for saving for retirement.

Curious…what team under the salary cap do you think has better depth than the Mets?
You do appear as another fan said, of becoming a Meys basher rather than a fan.
I would note you failed to include Dom Smith, who you have been praising, as depth either at IF or OF.
I hardly think having our longtime starting catcher, who is still young, as second string speaks to weak depth. We have four strong starters, who combined for a lot of starts last year, with 2017 all star Vargas, 2015 all star Santiago, and a few others in the run for fifth,never mind Lugo for spit starts. Yet you identify that as a weakness?
Yez, you posted that even tho one minute later I changed it to luxury tax.
I reply when I see them because I try to give every comment a reply.
Who is deeper and under the luxury tax?
Off the top of my head, the Yankees, Dodgers, Brewers, and Cardinals are deeper. We will also have to see what the Phillies, Rockies, and other teams do.
I'm being fair and honest, and I'm not going to allow my fandom to change my opinion.
As for not including Dom on IF depth, it would've been superfluous when I commented how they have admirable IF depth. As for OF, he's no more an OF than Davis, which is to say, they're not outfielders.
As for catching depth, if you have two injury prone guys and a guy who can't hit, you don't have sufficient depth.
Just having four strong starters isn't enough. Also, I'd note while citing Vargas as an All-Star, I'd note since that All-Star Game, he's been terrible.
With respect to Santiago, 2015 was four years ago. In the time since, he's performed so poorly, he was moved to the bullpen and could only obtain a minor league deal this offseason.
If Lugo begins the season in the bullpen, he's a reliever. That's it. He's not bouncing back and forth.
Overall, I'd note while accusing me of being a basher and not a fan, you forgot to include how I complimented the bullpen depth.
Way to go complimenting the bullpen depth, my bad. And since then they signed Wilson.
As far as Santiago…who knows. You are right, 2015 was a long time ago.But it was for Bryce Harper too, and you seem to think he is worth his 10 WAR 2015 value rather than his 2 point something average since.
And your certainty is impressive, but Lugo started five games last year after starting in the pen. He has been a starter all his career. If some of the candidates for fifth starter don't cut it ans drop to the pen, the team will be thinking Lugo.
Not "maybe." He is signed. He might be considered for atarting, like last year, if needed.
1. Harper is 26 years old, has amassed the 10th highest WAR since his MLB debut, and he's a year removed from a 4.7 WAR. Santiago will be 32, and he has never had a full season with a FIP below 4.29.
2. The Mets have talked about not treating Lugo the same way next year, which means, in part, if Lugo is a reliever, he's not going to start.
He's a year removed from a 1.3 WAR and three years removed from a 1.7 WAR. Which one is showing up as he declines?
In that three year period, he has a 133 OPS+, and he's getting faster. He just led the league in walks. So no, I don't see evidence he's truly in decline.


Looking at a T5i with a 18-135 lens. Everyone seems to have it for around 850 except 2 places. One has it for 699 and the other 599. All specs seem the same (and not refurbished). Could it be made in Canada or somewhere else? What's up?
Thanks for your question about the Canon Rebel t5i, Sal.
The old saying that if it sounds too good to be true....should give you a clue that something is amiss.
I can't comment specifically on what you found since I don't know what sources you are using to get your prices for the t5i.
Retailers all have to make some money. Competition keeps pricing in check and if you see one retailer showing a dramatic difference in price, it makes me suspect.
I can tell you that I now only buy equipment from trusted sources. When I was in high school, I purchased equipment from a camera store at the local shopping mall. When I was in photography school, I purchased through long-time trusted photography equipment catalogs.
When I started my photography business I purchased some used equipment on ebay without too many issues, a few small ones but I had very little money at the time.
for several years before the internet changed our world forever.
Now I almost exclusively use Amazon for 90% of my purchases, including household items, personal items, cameras and accessories. The other 10% I use Adorama.
Hope that helps you with making the right decision for your situation.
Canon t5i - My thoughts.

Branding is about getting to know the personality of your client and using it to charm their target audience with a great website, social media and digital marketing!


Sleep apnea can be even more dangerous for people with diabetes, stroke, high blood pressure, heart failure, and other serious medical conditions. If you recognize any of these symptoms, it is important to schedule an appointment with a sleep doctor as soon as possible. Once you have received a diagnosis of sleep apnea, Dr. Nathaniel Lim will work with you to find the most effective methods of snoring relief and sleep apnea treatment.
When you lie down at night, the airways become much more narrow than they are while you are awake during the day. This causes vibrations in the nose, mouth, and throat that create the sound recognized as snoring. While it is normal for the airways to narrow, the situation becomes dangerous when they close entirely. You actually stop breathing when this occurs. This is called obstructive sleep apnea. Your sleep partner may notice you struggling to breathe, or you may wake yourself up gasping for air.
Obstructive sleep apnea is serious. Not only does it interfere with your sleep and deprive you of oxygen, but it also causes your heart to work harder. This is necessary to pump enough blood to provide your brain with the oxygen it needs. You may end up with heart and blood vessel damage and high blood pressure as a result.
If you have central sleep apnea, it means that your brain fails to send signals to your body telling it to breathe while you're sleeping. Complex sleep apnea is when you have both types at the same time. Regardless of which type you have, it may wake you anywhere from dozens to hundreds of times each night.
Because your body doesn't get the regenerative sleep it needs, you may gain weight and develop Type II diabetes. You may also struggle with issues such as moodiness, memory loss, and concentration difficulties. For most people, loud snoring is the first indication that anything is wrong.
The CPAP mask has been the go-to snoring treatment for many years. CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. The device works by pushing air into your lungs. This ensures that your airways stay open during the night and that your body receives the oxygen it needs if you momentarily stop breathing. However, many people find it difficult to sleep with these masks on because they are so cumbersome. The hoses and other equipment that accompany them take up a lot of space and the noise of the machine can be disruptive to both you and your sleep partner. Dr. Lim works with you to find alternative methods of sleep apnea treatment.
Wearing an oral appliance is an effective and non-intrusive method of sleep apnea and snoring treatment. The mandibular advancement device, which is the most popular, repositions your jaw to provide better support to your airway tissues, so they won't close at night. An alternative to this is an oral appliance that repositions soft tissue in the throat or mouth to prevent airway collapse. While these are quite effective with obstructive sleep apnea, they don't work with the central or complex types. Surgery may be a consideration when other treatment methods have failed.

A Randomized Controlled Trial Driving Clinical Utility for the Treatment of Depression and Anxiety
Enhanced Therapeutic Efficacy
Source: Bradley, et al. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28992526
Study Design Intro:
This 12-week study evaluated if pharmacogenetics can help guide therapeutic decisions for patients diagnosed with depression and/or anxiety disorders and improve patient outcomes by maximizing drug efficacy.
The trial design followed a prospective, randomized, subject- and rater-blinded approach enrolling 685 patients from clinical providers specializing in Psychiatry, Internal Medicine, Obstetrics & Gynecology, and Family Medicine. Study participants were randomized by disease and severity and allocated in 1:1 ratio to the experimental (PGx guided) or the control group (standard of care).
Patient assessments were determined using the HAM-D17 and HAM-A rating scales.
In patients diagnosed with depression, response rates (p= 0.001; OR: 4.72 [1.93-11.52]) and remission rates (p=0.02; OR: 3.54 [1.27-9.88]) were significantly higher in the pharmacogenetics-guided group as compared to the control group at 12 weeks. In addition, patients in the experimental group diagnosed with anxiety showed a meaningful improvement in HAM-A scores at both 8 and 12 weeks (p=0.02 and 0.02, respectively), along with higher response rates (p=0.04; OR: 1.76 [1.03-2.99]).
Cost-effectiveness of PGx Test to Guide Treatment for Major Depressive Disorder
A Markov state-transitions probability model was built to analyze the cost-effectiveness of IDgenetix® testing v. standard of care for MDD patients in general practice and psychiatric care settings. This analysis included moderate to severe MDD patients who were new to treatment and who were failing treatment.
The primary advantage of pharmacogenetic testing is to find an effective treatment sooner, therefore reducing potential side effects, potential suicides, increasing the quality of life (QOL), and reducing medical costs.
This analysis model found that the total cost over three years was less for moderate to severe MDD patients whose clinicians had received IDgenetix testing compared to those who received standard of care ($44,697 v $47,295, respectively)
Estimating Cost Savings of Pharmacogenetic Testing for Depression in Real-World
Clinical Settings
This study utilizes published health care costs and clinical patient outcome data to model economic impact of pharmacogenetic-guided treatment for depression in a variety of clinical settings.
The cost data was generated using the data from Bradley et al in an analysis model published by Greenberg et al in 2015, which is a comprehensive overall cost of depression and the additional economic burdens MDD patients deal in addition to their MDD diagnosis (i.e. costs of non-depression mental health, costs of non-mental health medical services, costs of medical services and prescriptions (depression and non-depression services and prescriptions), costs of missed productivity)
Our model showed a potential annual cost savings of USD$3,962 per patient tested with NeuroIDgenetix®.
Economic Evaluation of Implementing a Novel Pharmacogenomics Test (IDgenetix®) to Guide Treatment of Patients with Depression
and/or Anxiety
The purpose of this study was to estimate the cost effectiveness of IDgenetix-guided treatment choices in patients with depression and/or anxiety compared to patients treated with standard of care (SOC).
A discrete event simulation was created to compare clinical events, quality-adjusted life-years, and costs of the two treatment strategies in patients with moderate to severe depression and/or anxiety. Data for this model came from Bradley et al clinical study.
The results from this simulation predicted IDgenetix-treated patients would experience a cumulative remission rate of 78% compared to 66% in SOC patients, an estimated discounted quality-adjusted life-years of 2.09 (IDgenetix-treated) and 1.94 (SOC) per patient, and an estimated USD$535 cost savings per IDgenetix-treated patient (USD$14,124 total costs for IDgenetix-treated patients v USD$14,659 for SOC patients).
CYP2D6 Copy Number Distribution in
the US Population
The cytochrome P450 superfamily of genes is well understood for their role in drug metabolism, with CYP2D6 being the most extensively studied. Although many CYP2D6 variants have been identified that contribute to variability in enzymatic function, the gene is also known to have stably inherited gene deletion and duplication events. In this report, we provide CYP2D6 copy number variation (CNV) data on the single most comprehensive US population data set reported to date.
In a set of over 30,000 deidentified clinical samples, 12.6% had a CNV of the CYP2D6 gene.
The distribution of ethnicity among the self-reported samples closely mirrors the results of the 2010 US census, suggesting the CYP2D6 CNV frequency data obtained in this study is reflective of the relative diversity of the US population.
African Americans showed a significantly reduced frequency of the expected 2 copies of CYP2D6 (p < 0.01).
22% of African Americans were shown to possess more or less than two copies of CYP2D6 as compared to only 11-13% of other ethnicities (p<0.01).
Approximately 70% of patients with zero copies of CYP2D6 are on at least one drug metabolized by that gene.
The combined prevalence of CYP2D6 CNVs, along with their relative contributions to deleterious PM and UM phenotypes, underscores the importance of determining CYP2D6 CNV in the clinical practice of pharmacogenomics.

2. The University of Iowa's new Visual Arts Building is the second arts facility on the UI campus designed by Steven Holl Architects. The other, Art Building West, is located immediately south of the Visual Arts Building.
Here is a collection of additional interesting and/or fun numbers associated with the UI's new visual arts facility.
48 million pounds of concrete were used in the construction.
A variety of 3, 5, and 8-foot square windows are strategically sprinkled throughout to deliver natural light for the students, faculty, and staff inside.
The building features 16,000 square feet of green, energy-efficient roofing.
15 kilns capable of reaching up to 2,000 degrees are on site for the more than 2,000 students who will take an arts class during a typical academic year.
Graduate painting and drawing students have access to 20 private studios, none of which are the same size or shape or have the same amount of natural light as a result of configurations of windows that are unique to each room.
300-plus interactive performances, workshops, readings, residencies, and master classes are coordinated statewide annually by Arts Share, the UI's highly-popular campus outreach program.
The glass doors at the building's 3 entrances have handles in the shape of the building fabricated by UI art students.
The addition of 5 new galleries inside the Visual Arts Building will allow the School of Art and Art History to host more than 180 exhibitions during the fall and spring semesters.
