What is important is to find the most suitable forex bonus for yourself. In general, Forex Bonus Lab recommends you to examine your trading needs before signing up for any best forex bonus promotion.

First of all, never go for a broker you don't trust. The most important thing about getting the bonus is to actually benefit from it. There are various ways to take advantage out of your forex bonus. For some traders it could be just an extended leverage, for others it could be some spread compensation and for some it could even be a premier part of their trading strategy. Still, you should stick only to a trusted broker when it comes to bonuses There are many brokers that could offer you 50% or even 100% bonus on your deposit. It is not necessarily bad, but do check if your trust the broker and if it can be consistent with your strategy.
Investopedia explains bonus as something that you get extra. This is only useful when the bonus is something extra you need. If you cannot use the bonus properly, better trade forex without any bonus.
You may have noticed that it is hard to encounter almost any forex bonus promotions with top class brokers. Such brokers as FXCM, FxPro, Alpari or XTB either do not give bonuses at all or do it very rarely. This happens because there brokers are actually operating often under Agency Model, hence they make less money than the competition. Best FX bonus promotions are usually offered by the Market Makers. Do not be afraid, there is nothing bad about market markets, unless the broker is not trusted.
With top forex brokers you usually get great trading conditions, superior platforms, transparency and security. With market makers you can get the above plus some great deposit and no deposit forex bonuses.
Forex trading market is well-known as being the biggest financial market in today's world, and enormous amounts of money are present in this sector. To be more precise, several research projects have managed to record the actual level of trading within a single day, and their findings all revolve around $5 trillion per 24 hours. This gigantic figure is a clear indication of the size of this market, and that is why millions of investors are searching for ways to join the action and hopefully grab a piece of this huge pie. However, recent changes in EU regulations will significantly affect the trading process, predominantly in the area of bonuses and trading leverage, and it remains to be seen what awaits us in the upcoming period.
Modern broker companies are offering various types of bonuses, and it can be a bit confusing and overwhelming to learn about all of them at once. However, the most important types are welcome bonuses, deposit bonus, and no deposit bonus, and all of these categories have their benefits and drawbacks. Of course, top forex bonus deals can be a lucrative reward for any trader, but the vast majority of these deals are tied with demanding terms and conditions, which can present a problem for some investors. If you do not have enough experience in the forex market, you can be surprised by some of the elements of these "gifts," such as the fact that most of them entail a relatively high number of trades that you have to perform.
Who regulates the Forex market?
As strange it may seem, forex trading market is not a centralized system, and there is no global overarching authority to govern the operations that are going on in this sector. For instance, no agency can prescribe some universal rules and regulations when it comes to issuing a forex bonus, and this can cause confusion and misunderstandings. However, the market is not entirely "out of control," and several respectable bodies are trying to put as much order as possible into this hectic and fast-paced world. Some of these regulatory agencies have established themselves as the main pillars of the forex trading world, and all broker houses that want to operate in particular jurisdictions "are forced" to apply for a license from one of these licensing structures.
For example, the European financial market is regulated by the famous MiFID (Markets in Financial Instruments Directive), and this agency has been active ever since 2007. Gaining a seal of approval from MiFID is often compared to getting a "passport" for the European Union, and this license allows the brokers to offer their trading services to this vast market.
A similar regulatory body comes from Cyprus, and their CySEC has long ago overgrown the borders of this small island country. Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission is one of the most respectable agencies in the business, and they are in charge of resolving issues and overseeing the entire trading process when it comes to forex trading, binary options, and so on.
Rules and regulations are important in any line of business, or in any human activity at all for that matter. Without a set of rules, our lives would turn to chaos and anarchy, and this would not benefit any of us. The same principle can be applied to business, and financial sector is no exception to this rule as well. Safety procedures and security protocols are crucial when it comes to dealing with large amounts of money, and forex trading world would not be so successful if prospective investors did not feel safe and comfortable in investing their funds with various broker houses. For instance, every forex trading bonus would be suspicious if it wasn't for the seal of approval at the bottom of the page that guarantees the fairness and honesty of the broker in question. Regulatory bodies are playing the role of a policeman in the forex market, and their oversight and constant alertness are immensely important for the overall quality of the trading process.
That is why CySEC has issued a new directive, and this regulatory document will introduce new methods when it comes to bonuses in the Forex world. This directive came to power on December 15th, 2016, and all brokers are instructed to inform CySEC if they are going to use trading bonuses as a marketing tactic in the future. In case the answer is affirmative, brokers have to submit evidence of compliance with the new guideline, which significantly reduces ambiguity and similar problems. Bonuses are predominantly used to entice clients to join a particular broker house, or as a retention tool, but with the new set of rules – the game is entirely changed. Forex brokers will have to disclose all information about terms and restrictions that are tied to the trading benefits that they offer, and this will mean that misleading advertising will be eradicated.
Finding the best Forex bonus offers can be a tricky task, but with just a few simple steps you can quickly obtain the perfect bonus for your trading style. Of course, it is always good to learn a thing or two about the actual types of the bonuses and how they are awarded. After that, your search starts on Google or some other search engine, and you will simply have to do your homework, i.e. by reading a lot of reviews and checking the pros and cons of certain bonuses, you will be able to make an informed decision. However, it remains to be seen if the trading bonuses will, in fact, "cease to exist," and if these trading benefits will survive the "attack" of the regulatory bodies.
Forex trading is a highly exciting and profitable area, and with the help of lucrative forex bonuses – it can be even more rewarding for some traders and investors. EU regulatory bodies are increasing the safety of the trading process, and some of the changes that they are implementing will directly affect trading bonuses and promotions. This fact can only benefit the traders since their funds will be more protected, and the risk of scams and frauds will be significantly decreased.

Just for fun this time!We all love bycicles.Enjoy nature, loose some kilos or just having some fun with the kids.I even like to ride if I find the time and the right weather.But what about those courier riders in the city?Those fitness fanatics riding in a pack of 30 and surprising you on a winding mountain road by fully blocking it...The guy hitting you from behind on the traffic lights because he was only looking on his phone...Or maybe this drunk guy in the middle of the night not even realising that he uses the entire road...What is your worst nighmare experience with someone using just legs to get two wheels moving?And: What is your worst nightmare experience as a cyclist yourself?The guy cutting you off while turning and running over your bike?Someone "accidentally" opening their door when you ride past their car?Or maybe these parks constantly blocking the bike lanes and forcing you to go into the traffic?

Or the appliance has some protection against this? (my worry is that such on-off flipping cause some surge or arch). It's said that in modern PC LCD monitors like mine (where the power switch is just a touch sensitive area of the front bevel) most of the actual circuitry remains on all the time so I have nothing to worry about, is that correct?

Cautionary Tales - How not to do it!
We were discussing electric shocks in one of the threads and I thought it might be interesting to share some cautionary tales. I have had quite a few accidents, made (to many) stupid mistakes, and had some pretty near-misses in my life. I have also heard about and witnessed many happening to other people. Have you experienced any near-misses (or hits for that matter)? How about sharing your cautionary tale with the rest of us - it might just save someone from making the same mistake.

Motor Music! I accidently got a motor to play music and I dont know how it works. Help?
I was trying to make a motor spin to the beat of the music by plugging it into my ipods headphone jack. But alas, poor Yorrick, it failed, and instead the motor barely spun and the motor vebrated like crazy. Then I noticed that the vibrations were in time with the music. Curiosity overtook me and I put my ear to the motor and heard the music! I could actually hear the guy singing! Apparently I had turned the motor into a speaker, but how? If you might have a solution to my problem, please leave a comment below.

How can I fix my damaged table veneer?
There has been an accident with our kitchen table. We accidently cut something on the table with out protection. This has left some pretty obvious gashes in this table. The main problem is we live in a rented accommodation, and this table was supplied with the house. I can see 3 options. 1. Own up to the letting agent and pay an unknown amount for the damage. 2. Replace the table. 3. Try to repair the table some how. Ideally I'd like to get this sorted as cheaply as possible. I have tried buying some coloured pens, but couldn't find the right colour and wax that seemed to be the right colour, but wouldn't apply correctly. Any suggestions?

My Palm pda z22 screen resolution is low after a wet accident! can anybody help to fix it?
Hai I recently got a palm z22 to organize my life. It was really helpful until after a week it got wet in my bag. I didn't know initially it is wet. So I tried to use it the next day it was not working. So I try to charge it. Still it was not on. Then I saw that inside the palm cover is wet. So I used blow dryer on low heat setting. Then I tried to on the power button. I got little success. It was on but the screen resolution is very low. I can barely able to read it. Then I reset it. Still it was in the same condition. I let it dry as it is for a day. Then I opened only the back and blow dry it again. Still it was the same condition. The battery is fused to the back cover. I haven't tried to open the front. Today I am trying to charge it to see whether that will solve the problem. My question is what I can do to get the screen resolution back?
I've greased my GORE-TEX hiking shoes by accident - how can I get the grease back out of the pores?
The GORE-TEX material is waterproof but still breathable so your feet don't get too hot while hiking - problem is, I forgot that you're not supposed to use grease on that material b/c it will fill the pores so the material can no longer breath. What now? How can I get the grease back out? I thought about putting them into the washing mashine but than I thought this might harm the GORE-TEX, too...?!Help!PS: The shoes are LOWA hiking shoes, the outside LOOKS like leather (which is why I thought I could use grease), if this is any help!Thanks a lot!

In a capacitor bank for a coilgun, must all the capacitors have the same farads and voltage?
I am wanting to create a coil gun, however I accidently picked up two polorid disposible cameras. Now, I have 5 330v and 120uF capacitors, and 2 330v 80uF capacitors. Will this work, and what will be the voltage and amperage going through the coil?
What size fuse would I use for a 12 volt 5 amp/hour sla battery. Better yet, are there breakers for same battery. I am wiring an electrical system for a bike. As the complexity increases I accidently short the battery more often.

What would be a good way to record video while driving and allow for driver and or sensor input?
How about this then, to throw another wrench in the system. My last question was " Could I run a webcam directly from a HDD without a computer?" How could I or what would be a good way to set up a system to record video while driving and have user or sensor input? Basically, like before, I am trying to re-create a Drivecam device. The drivecam records 24-7 but only stores video to a flash card when the driver is involved in an accident [by a g-force sensor] or hits a panic button which is located on the bottom of the camera. I have no problem using a video camera or a flip cam but how to make it work to record in certian situations like and accident or if I see an accident in front of me, or if someone hits my car while I am not in it. Like I said, I would just buy one, but they do not sell them to the retail off the street person and it would be too expensive to make a fleet to get one camera. My company uses them and they are about $700 a piece and now the new ones upload the video via cell, which I do not want for my use. So if I can build something that is in all practicality a drive cam, but not, I am all game. I just thought a webcam would be easier, but it doesn't have to be a webcam. It looks like the easiest set up is going to be a ITX mobile computer with some sort of user and or sensor inputs. Any other ideas?

Q: Authors fields in domino DDS REST api I am building a Javascript Web application with a Domino back end, using the Domino DDS REST api to do POST, PUT, and GET operations against the database.  I want to use Authors and Readers fields in documents to control which users can see which documents and to give users with Author access in the ACL  the ability to edit documents they have created.  When doing a POST of a new document (implemented by the save() method of a new Backbone model) is there a way to designate one or more fields as Readers or Authors?
Doing a GET on an existing document returns a JSON object with an attribute named '@authors' containing the names and roles in the Authors fields.  Is this attribute read/write?
Can I populate @authors with the desired values before doing a POST to have these values control author access?
My colleague says the Domino REST api makes no provision for setting Authors and Readers fields, and that this functionality can only be done through Java servlets.  Is this right?

A: I'm not familiar with the Domino DDS REST API, but from what I gather it is doubtfull that when POSTing a document, you get to chose the type of the fields. I suspect they all end up as text.
What you could do however is to link the action of your form to a Domino agent which, using the backend Java or LotusScript API, will be able to control precisely the final shape of your document, hereby allowing you to fully utilize the powerfull security model of Domino.
Nevertheless, keep in mind that at some point, your users will have to authenticate against the Domino Directory. Depending where your users originally log in, you may need to talk to your Domino administrator to sort out a Single Sing-On scheme linked to your other directory.
Alternatively, you could take advantage of the fact that Domino is also a web server and an application server : you can build your HTML form in there, starting with a  Domino form (simple) or an xPage (a bit more complex).
You may want to have a look here.
Some would say that you could even build your whole application in Domino, as using it as a mere back-end data repository is akin to using a Rolls-Royce to ferry potatoes, but I suppose that you and your organization have good reasons to do so.
Finally you could also completely ditch Domino and use another nosql database like MongoDB, but that would only displace your access control problem.

A: You can post data back to Domino and nominate a form to use. If you use the 'computewithform=true' parameter and the form design includes the authors/reader fields you need, this will set the field flags correctly and automatically.

Brief History of the AOH Hibernian Pipes and Drums
Armagh, Northern Ireland
The Hibernian Pipes and Drums were organized in the fall of 1998. With the help of the Ancient Order of Hibernians from Manchester, NH and Watertown, MA, the band was able to purchase kilts using the Irish National tartan as the basic element of our uniform. Though the band uses Manchester, NH as its home base, its members come not only from the state of New Hampshire but also members are from Maine and Massachusetts. The founding members of the band were George Smith, Chieftain, Patrick Boyle, Pipe Major, Mike Mone, Dan O'Neill, Sean Markey and Dan Gilday. With the recent passing of our Chieftain George, Ruthie Smith is our present Chieftain. Recently, Claire Mullin volunteered to take the position of Drum Major and Kevin Boyle is Drum Sargeant. Jack Kelleher is our Pipe Sargeant and music arranger. The band has grown from a handful of musicians to over thirty playing members plus several students, ranging in age from fourteen years to over seventy years old.
Warming up before a performance
The band has performed at a variety of functions over the years. We have performed in all the New England states, except for Connecticut.. We have also travelled to Pictou, Nova Scotia, Montreal, Quebec, for St. Patrick's and Canada's Irish Festival in Miramichi, New Brunswick, Canada. We have taken two trips to Ireland, in 2008 and 2012.The group performed in Armagh, Derry, Derrynoose, Newry, Keady and Monaghan, Northern Ireland. We also played in Dublin, Ireland and Carfinn, Scotland. Highlights of our performances include performing at the military tattoo at West Point Military Academy, and the Tartan Day Parade(2002) in New York City.
Playing at the dedication ceremony in Keady, Northern Ireland
In 2012, the band was invited to play at the dedication of the Tommy Makem Performing Arts Center in Keady, Northern Ireland. Though Tommy was born in Ireland, his family immigrated to the United States and settled in Dover, NH. The Performing Arts Center is meant to be a source for the promotion of Irish culture and music.

The SleepWeaver® Feather Weight Tube® creates a unique Flex Zone between the SleepWeaver mask and the PAP hose. Extremely lightweight and flexible, the quick-release Feather Weight Tube reduces the weight and pull on the mask while increasing your freedom to move. The added flexibility also helps to reduce mask leaks to let you enjoy restorative, uninterrupted sleep. The Feather Weight Tube is 15mm in diameter and 18″ long with a standard 22mm connection.
"I bought this along with the SleepWeaver Advance Nasal CPAP Mask with Improved Zzzephyr Seal. I probably could have skipped it but I'm glad I got it. It's lightweight and attaches to the tube to the machine giving a little extra length. There isn't as much pull as there would be if I attached it directly to the other tube which I think helps with the mask's seal."
"I replaced the SleepWeaver Feather Weight Tube because it was time. It adds just a little bit extra on the end of the slim line tubing that I have and doesn't pull on my mask at night. Glad I found this too. Thanks!"
"I like this product a lot! It is lighter and less "noisy" when I change positions during the night. It is a keeper."
"WOW!! I can finally sleep on my right side thanks to the feather weight tube. I use a hose stand and it didn't allow me to sleep on my right side without cutting my air off using a cloth mask. The SleepWeaver feather weight tube is perfect for those that have the same setup as I do. Thank you CPAP.com for your excellent service."
"The addition of the feather weight tube to my regular tube assisted in making my SleepWeaver mask easier to use when lying on my sides and kept any leaks from occurring."
"Love the extra distance and how light it is."
"I think the light weight of this tube makes sleeping more comfortable, and seems quieter to me."
"I never even knew this existed. It makes things much easier, especially given my last hose was so heavyweight that when I rolled over and it hit the wall the noise would wake me up."
"Without the feather weight tube I was having a lot of drag on my mask as the tube kept falling off of the bed causing leaking in my sleep weaver mask. The feather weight tube has been the greatest purchase!! It stays in place and helps me get uninterrupted sleep; without it I was waking up every time I turned over."
"Excellent. Actually keeps my SleepWeaver in place better than my usual hose."
"Best invention in years. Fantastic and it keeps the hard hose off your body during the night."
"At first I thought a tube is a tube. After reading more about the SleepWeaver Feather Weight Tube, I decided to try it. It is so light that I don't know it's even there and it's a great improvement over other tubes. Ordering from CPAP.com was a very pleasant experience and I will definitely order again. Customer service is still alive."
"True to its name, light as a feather, this is a necessary part of the SleepWeaver mask. Regular tubes can tug on the mask and cause leaks."
"Excellent product! Really helps with use of sleep weaver mask"
"It really made a difference. No more tube tending all night!"
"This lighter weight hose fits directly into the larger hose on my machine which is bulky and stiff. The old hose made it difficult to keep my mask in place. The new hose is less limiting and less intrusive to my movements and sleep. Combined with the SleepWeaver mask I have experienced greater comfort and better sleep. Too bad there isn't a higher than 5 rating for this product."
"I bought this for a light weight mask but it works great on any mask."
"The SleepWeaver is very light, and this light tube prevents the heavier tube from distorting the mask."
"I purchased this to go along with my new lightweight mask, and it really makes a big difference! Since the mask is so light, and just made of fabric, without this attachment tube, the big hose just pulls too much. So this is a very helpful accessory."
"I love this product! It is so much more comfortable to wear, the lightweight of it does not make anymore noise then the regular hose. I will always use this hose! I would love to have a 6 foot long one. Thanks for recommending it for me. Way to go CPAP!"
Are you ready for even more freedom to sleep? Order your Feather Weight Tube® today. You'll be glad you did!

Sons of Anarchy's Kim Coates – behind those blue eyes
Kim Coates photographed by Tommy Garcia
There isn't much about Kim Coates professional life that you can't learn with the click of a button. Such is the life of a celebrity in today's technological world. However, when I got talking to Kim on the phone, I didn't hear a celebrity but rather a humble, grateful, down to earth, Saskatchewan farm boy living large and lovin' it.
Don't know who Kim Coates is? Let me refresh your memory. He is a Saskatoon, SK native who discovered a passion for the arts during his time in university.
"I miss the people of Saskatchewan," he said.
His acting credits are numerous and those ice blue/green eyes a familiar sight on screen and stage. However, it is his role as Alexander 'Tig' Traber – the off-centre biker and Sergeant at Arms of SAMCRO in Kurt Sutter's FX television series, Sons of Anarchy, that seems to have solidified his name in lights.
Ryan Hurst and Kim Coates in SONS OF ANARCHY
As an actor, to commit yourself to a seven year contract and build a character having only been offered the very beginnings of a story, is a career gamble and one that Coates reflects on, "The power of television I never understood and when I committed to SOA, it was a commitment which I have never done."
Having become addicted to the series myself, I can't imagine any other actor who could have played this role, brought the character to life and made him so real in such a way that allowed us to watch his family trials and tribulations unfold in ways that we couldn't even imagine and see it as that family's normal.
Kim Coates as Alex 'Tig' Trager and Walton Goggins as Venus Van Dam
Take for instance the introduction in 2012 of transgender character Venus Van Dam played by Walton Goggins. Step aside Caitlyn Jenner – it was SOA creator Kurt Sutter who brought transgender women to the forefront. He wrote this character into the show, make her desirable, treated her with respect and built the relationship with Coates' character TIG and Coates made it normal.
"TIG..," said Coates, "like all of us leads on that brilliant show, wasn't written for all the time. But when Sutter did write for TIG I got the best stuff. If I wanted it to be easy or to just hit my mark I would have done CSI Saskatoon. The TIG / Venus stuff was incredibly hard to do. Challenging. Emotional. And thank Christ, Sutter gave that arc to TIG. No one else in that club would have been believable. TIG became the moral compass of the club in a way. Right till the end of that epic tale."
During our banter I asked Coates to tell me something that I couldn't find on the internet. Tell me something about Kim Coates that fans might not know. After a brief moment of silence he responded, "I'm not TIG. All parts that you play, you need to pull from who you are so parts of me are drawn into the character but I am not that guy."
Kim is a husband for the past 31 years to "Diana, my rock, who lets me go, and then reels me back in and lets me go again and reels me back in." He is a father of "two beautiful daughters." He loves the Okanagan, likes to golf and run but could do without the compression socks.
Sons of Anarchy may have wrapped the final ride, 95 episodes over seven years – but Coates has always been behind the bars – in the dirt since age 9 and "I got a job at Safeway when I was 15 and I bought a purple Kawaski but once I got on a Harley-Davidson, I haven't looked back." He continues making philanthropic appearances raising money for charity at just about every motorcycle event he is invited to because "As Paul Newman once said . . . That is the way we all should be."
You can meet Kim Coates and fellow actor Theo Rossi this Saturday, August 15 at Konquer Customs on McCurdy where proceeds of the event will go to Okanagan charity Kids Care. You can get tickets at Konquer and enjoy an adult evening of music and fun.

Q: How to have AJAX trigger the browser's loading indicator I'm making an ajax-enabled lab scheduling program, and some of the ajax operations aren't exactly quick.
In Gmail, when you go to your inbox, send a message, etc. the browser acts like it's loading (In FF the stop button becomes enabled, the progress bar appears), but it's not on a new page, it's done via AJAX.
How do they do this? I have a little spinny indicator, but it would be a nice touch to have the browser act like it's loading. Any ideas?

A: I think this is your answer. (Reverse-AJAX or "Slow Load" technique from Obviously.com)
Looks like the GMail and Facebook method (browser is showing page as "loading" with loading icons etc. - it is just simulating, because there is a background ajax request) :)

A: I found a related answer here: Browser continues 'loading' after ajax request finishes.
You can create an iframe and open and close its contentDocument which seems to start and stop the browser's native loading animation. See an example here: http://jsfiddle.net/KSXkS/1/.

A: Many users don't even understand or notice the browser's native loading indicators. If it is really a long running load the best user experience would be to indicate it as part of your web application. Remember context is king and this is an opportunity to communicate to your user what is going on and what functionality is still available.
If your entire user interface becomes invalid at the time of the request an overlay with a loading indicator is appropriate. A slightly opaque overlay communicates to the user without a disruptive break in vision.
If you simply need to show the request has started and is working, a spinner next to the button that started the request is best. On success, the spinner can be replaced with a green check mark or other common indicator that fades out after a short period.
These are common patterns found in many of google's applications.

A: This article has details about different types of requests and whether they trigger busy indicators like the progress bar.

A: I believe you want something like this.
I have added an API to pull geo location of github.com (not related, but I think it serves the purpose of sample API).
It's simple JavaScript and JQuery code to show/hide the loading indicator while making the AJAX request.

$('#btn').click(function() {
  $('#overlay').show();
  $.ajax('https://freegeoip.net/json/github.com').then(function(response) {
    $('#overlay').hide();
    $('#country').html(response.country_name);
  });
});
body {
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
}

#overlay {
  position: fixed;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  top: 0;
  background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7);
}

.plus {
  display: flex;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

  <button id="btn">Perform AJAX Operation</button>

  Country:

A: The probable solution is to use iframe to trigger the loading. But based on previous answer, iframe method cannot work on chrome.
Your need is to show the loading icon on browser, so I think another way is to create fake loading icon.
You can update the browser icon manually. There are some tutorials about how to update browser icon.
And then, try to make icon animate. Most of browser doesn't support gif icon, so what you need to do is update icon in every few seconds.
This is demo code:
 var favicon_images = [];
 for (var i = 1; i <= 12; i++)
   favicon_images.push('./icon/' + i + '.png');

 var image_counter = 0;

 setInterval(function() {
     var link = document.querySelector("link[rel*='icon']") || document.createElement('link');
     link.type = 'image/x-icon';
     link.rel = 'shortcut icon';
     link.href = favicon_images[image_counter];
     document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(link);

   if(image_counter == favicon_images.length -1)
         image_counter = 0;
     else
         image_counter++;
 }, 150);

I create a quick demo. Demo
With this demo, you can find that the icon animation doesn't run smoothly. That is because everytime we update the icon, browser request the icon again.
So transform the image to base64 format than it works smoothly.
Base64 demo
Now you just need to find the loading icon is the same with Chrome and other popular browsers, then trigger the fake loading when you call ajax.

Here I paste some change icon tutorial:

It was the eve of the town tragedy that happened back in the 1870s, when the Stanford twins, the daughters of the town mayor, were killed at the community church. Of course Kara would want to do something scary to commemorate it. Every year, on this date, something strange happened, like mysterious pulses of light in the forest and not-quite-solid figures that appeared in the cemetery one second and disappeared the next. Leah's gut instinct warned her tonight's occurrences would be worse than usual, and her intuitions usually proved true. Stressing about it all day had exhausted her.
Maybe it would give David and Kara the chance to have The Talk, but she doubted it would happen. It would take an act of divine intervention to get one of them to make the first move. Neither of them noticed as Leah crossed the game room and made her way down the hall to the bathroom. Good. At least they wouldn't pick up on how alone, how odd-girl-out, she felt.
The cool water invigorated Leah as it splashed against her skin. She wiped her hands and patted her face dry with a towel, meeting her wide-set green eyes in the mirror. In the florescent lighting, her fair complexion shone snow-pale, even though she'd already started working on a summer tan. It was a hopeless cause.
The lights flickered, then went out. Leah jumped, startled, as darkness enveloped her. Her breaths quickened, and only then did she notice the scent of cucumber-melon air freshener. She felt for the light switch and managed to find it, but flicking it up and down did nothing. Her hand paused midway toward the doorknob as a bright flash in the mirror caught her gaze.
Drawing closer, Leah saw the images in fragments. A soft glow of white light amid the trees. A wave of a hand, and shattered glass reassembling itself. Lightning bolts of electricity from a dark, cloaked figure. A body, small and slender, falling to the floor. A hole in the ground, surrounded by headstones.
"What is that?" Leah's voice sounded small and tight to her ears in this enclosed space. The scene gave her the chills, making the room feel ten degrees colder. She rubbed her arms in a vain effort to warm herself. Goosebumps prickled all along them. Dread seized her, settling like lead in the pit of her stomach.
Leah blinked as the images disappeared, leaving her in complete blackness again. She had to get out of here. Heart pounding in her chest, she fumbled for the doorknob, barely restraining the impulse to pound the door like a crazy person when her fingers failed to find it. Wait. She would not let a little power outage freak her out. She couldn't have actually seen those things in the mirror, anyway. No, they were just a product of her wild imagination, fueled by her fears about tonight.
'Trust your instincts', Mom would say. Maybe she'd experienced those glimpses for a reason. If it meant finding out what might happen so she could protect herself and the people she loved, Leah wanted, no, needed, to know.
I love some of the spooky images you've conjured up in this opening - the threatening images appearing in the expected safety and ordinariness of her own bathroom with its cucumber air freshener, the church looming through sliding glass doors (I hated the sliding glass doors at night in my childhood home BTW - you do feel really exposed). I think the tension could be heightened by giving us a little more detail about the death of the Stanford twins. What was so unusual about the deaths that the town is still talking about it? What about the deaths would suggest alien activity to the modern mind (certainly the locals in 1870 wouldn't have perceived events that way).
I also found Leah's sudden willingness to explore the images in the mirror a little abrupt given that in the rest of the opening she is doing everything she can to avoid involvement with supernatural stuff. Does she have a strong reason to believe her loved ones are in danger? Perhaps she needs to see them being hurt or threatened in those initial mirror images.
Looking forward to learning more about your story.
First off, note to self: don't read this next time before going to bed. You have a really spooky opening! I was just creeped out enough, especially where the pages leave off. I, too, was confused by Leah's willingness to delve into the mirror, though, as up until that point, we hadn't seen any inkling that she was interested. I didn't feel like her desire to protect her friends, no matter how spooky, had been established yet (though I get that anyone would ideally feel like that). If she has that toughness in her, or that macabre streak, I think that would be good to establish when she's thinking on the anniversary of the murder in general. Maybe something about her hating the thrill of horror - and interest - that always ran through her when blah blah blah. Something like that would have made the ending here feel more plausible.
You've set up the creepiness really nicely already, but I think you could add some more tension by shortening/breaking up some of your sentences. Her breath quickened. Her hand fumbled for the door. That sort of thing. I also feel like saying the scene "gave her the chills" is unnecessary - let the goosebumps and her trying to warm herself show that for you.
I'm excited to see future versions, because I'm already interested in the book as a whole. I'd definitely read more from what I see here!
I liked Leah right off the bat. I'm a sucker for characters who are a little self-depricating, who have a sense of humor. We get a lot of information about her from this passage, including that she considers the advice of both of her parents before acting. I think that goes along way towards putting her in a real world where paranormal things are happening, rather than a story in a bubble.
I agree with Rebecca and Katy that it doesn't ring quite true that she'd seek out the images in the mirror. I'm not sure if there's a window in there, but maybe since it's so dark she could think it was a reflection of a light from outside?
I'm curious about why you chose the1870's for the deaths, and what the significance of this year would be. Is it a big anniversary year? I just wonder, if strange but presumably harmless things have been happening each year for more than 100 years, why Leah feels so strongly that *this* year will be worse.
Overall, though, I like your start! You have a lot of irons on the fire already and I'm curious to see what happens.
With the spookiness of your opening I kind of feel like we should see them watching a horror flick. Or describe a particularly scary scene she wants to avoid. And speaking of which, avoidance seems to be her MO. So, like they say above, she'd better try to escape that scary bathroom only to find the only thing left to do is watch the mirror after figuring out it won't kill her. :D You have a clear plot arc set out, but you need to provide that change in her character as well. Take it slow and easy. What would she do in each situation?
I can definitely relate to your character in the first paragraphs. I don't do scary anything! So when she saw the images in the mirror, and then decided to stay and watch them again, it seems she suddenly had a change of heart. If she's so scared, maybe she's watching it because she's frozen in fear and can't move, instead of choosing to stay and watch a second time?
Also, was she watching a reflection of something happening outside, or was it actually in the mirror?
I like the opening paragraph, with its telling and specific detail that Leah had been sitting on the couch so long that "her knees ached." Sentences three and four serve to set up expectations of action as we wonder "Why is tonight so special?" The rest of this paragraph and the next one do a great job of giving us Leah's age, situation, and desires: a carefree and easy summer. Paragraph three sets us up to know that Leah probably won't get it, because Kara has other ideas. Nice.
After that, however, things get a bit sketchy. For me to accept Leah's exaggerated dread, I need to believe there are reasons for it. Why should this year's anniversary of the twins' death be any more traumatic than other years? You say it's because Leah has an "intuition" that it will be, and her gut feelings are always right. But this critical point is glossed over in one sentence. To be convincing, I need to know a lot more.
What other intuitions has she had that have been correct? Were they scary? Did they have real and dire consequences? This early in the story, you don't want either a lot of exposition or a flashback, but we do need to know more. You might, as one possibility, let Kevin and Jenny arrive and everybody be enthusiastic about going to the cemetery, Leah hanging back, and when you've generated tension by having them argue with her, let Leah escape to the bathroom. There, do first a brief exposition of her previous intuitions, and then the mirror scene.
Here, too, you need to convince me more that she would stay for a second look into the mirror. Maybe she tries to flee but the bathroom door won't open. She screams but no one comes--the others went outside already. Leah looks for something to smash the door lock, and then she catches a glimpse of further doings in the mirror and finds herself unable to look away. That she looks again in case her parents might need protecting doesn't work, because we've never seen Leah being particularly protective, nor been given any reason why the adults are vulnerable.
To further increase tension, you might not tell us yet what happened in 1870. Just allude mysteriously to "the Sanford twins" and make us wait for the horror.
Finally, I was puzzled by the allusion to "The Talk" that Leah wants Kara and David to have. If the pair were older, I'd assume Leah wanted them to get married--but they're not that much older than she is, right? So, have a talk about what? And why is she so anxious for them to have it?
I hope the rewrite can clarify some of these points.
This is wonderfully creepy, and I like your mc and the fact that Im not entirely sure whether its going to be a scifi or a ghost story, or a combo of the two. You do a great job with the opening, getting us right into who your character is and launching us into the story. You had me right up to the intuition. Along with some of the facts about the twins, this felt a bit "told" when I would rather have it shown. For me, it also begged a question: if she is known for her accurate intuition, wouldn't she mention it to,get the others in line? Also, the "celebration" of the anniversary comes a bit out of the blue, so I wondered if you might consider making it more of a ritual, scary movie, scary food and so on. And since she isn't as into it as the others, I wonder why it is at her house? it seems as though being elsewhere could allow her more opportunity to feel pressure and want to retreat to a bathroom. Finally, bravo on describing what she sees. Slow down that bathroom scene though so that we can understand her motivation when she looks in the mirror.
Thank you all so much for your wonderful feedback! It was tremendously helpful, and it was fun to make the edits! I've incorporated suggestions from all of you and am so happy with the result. I've just sent off my revisions, and hopefully I've managed to pull it all off to fix the main issue you all pointed out in terms of making Leah's staying to watch more images in the mirror ring true.

UPDATED: The #exopolitics move continues . . . Politics outside politics. #gov20la
Posted on April 21, 2012 by Nigel Cameron
I first posted the discussion below in January. Couple striking recent developments to add. The Germany Pirate Party is now polling better than the Greens. And the UK's Daily Mail – very much a mainstream conservative paper – has published a clarion call to support Marine Le Pen for the French presidency. Go figure.
I'm about to discuss this in the context of Gov2.0 at #gov20la
People have pointed out that others use this term to refer to the politics of space exploration involving inhabited planets. I think it has a much more useful meaning. Sorry, ETs.
Oh yes, and @mikenelson picks up the theme in this essay: http://www.europeaninstitute.org/EA-April-2012/battles-over-digital-copyright-sopa-and-acta-and-the-rise-of-exo-politics.html
On Exopolitics: Tectonic Plates are shifting in America
So far as I can see, no-one else is using exopolitics in the sense I have been this past year on Twitter and in various blog posts to refer to fundamental shifts in American political culture. So it makes sense to lay it out here in one place, though in brief compass. The general use of the term (well, not that it is in general currency) refers to extraterrestrials and prospective engagement with them. In this new coinage, exopolitics has a lot more work to do. ETs are not in the news every day. Exopolitical phenomena sure are.
Briefly, exo means outside; exopolitics therefore, for our purpose, politics outside politics. Because politics outside politics is emerging as the core phenomenon of American culture. And on the scale at which we are experiencing it it is novel.
So: the biggies: The Tea Party. The Occupy movement. And now, what I have begun to call the Internet Party, which brought down the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and its Senate equivalent in a way unparalleled in history. There are other exo-phenomena to be noted, especially the huge rallies promoted and led by cable news stars in Washington in the summer of 2010. Point is: these forces are emerging outside of and, while influencing, largely remaining outside of the normal political processes of which they are critical. It would be a mistake to see them as essentially reformist in their orientation; in important ways they represent a turning away from government as much as an effort to get it more to their liking. These movements arise at a time when polls consistently show public confidence in Congress in single figures. Perhaps this situation was best summed up by The Onion, in one of its occasionally quite brilliant headlines. After the 2010 election: Brave Americans go out to vote, despite the fact they may be electing Congress.
Plainly, the three movements noted above differ from in each other in many respects, and even the most organized of them, the Tea Party, refuses to be monolithic in a way that fascinatingly mirrors the Occupy movement and gives something of an anarchistic flavor to them both. While their goals are plainly diverse, a Venn diagram reveals some overlaps, especially their distaste for the bank bailout. In one of the most striking (though little reported) statistics of recent years, three or four weeks into the Occupy Wall Street protest a Fox News Online write-in poll of 300,000 readers recorded 60% support for OWS. This should have been the lede in the mainstream press. And it could also have been a point of departure for an adventurous political leader's campaign.
The SOPA protest has been astonishing in its rapidity, its force, and its speed – leaving the smarter Washington insiders mulling whether it will become a regular and disruptive feature in the increasingly IP/digital focus of the policy agenda. While not naively attributing it to people power (the new-economy firms let loose their old-style lobbyists as well), the day Wikipedia went down will not soon be forgotten. The internet community, which is of course all of us but especially the younger and smarter, united to take down a proposal with wide support that included, for example, both the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and the AFL-CIO.
We can also bring into evidence the various third-party candidate movements, even though they are somewhat more traditional. And of course the striking success of Ron Paul's candidacy (with his echoes of left as well as right in his emphases) also draws on similar dissent.
But at base we are seeing shifting tectonic plates as forces are loose that have the capacity to reshape our political landscape entirely. How, when, and in what direction is unclear. But to regard them as isolated, isolable, and traditional protest efforts on "left" and "right" is naive.
Exopolitics. Things are changing at a fundamental level. They are becoming unstable. This is not business as usual.

Reposting this as it is highly relevant to the urgent need to re-orient the federal government westward: to the Silicon Valley tech/creative community, and to China. We need to start with Camp David. Then the rest of federal Washington. Shift them to the Bay Area. The question is when, not if. The longer it takes, the worse U.S. chances in C21. How about it, Obama? Romney?

Black Mirror 2.03 "The Waldo Moment" REVIEW
TV REVIEW The bear necessities
By Richard Edwards published 26 February 13
Black Mirror 2.03 "The Waldo Moment" TV REVIEW
Writer: Charlie Brooker
Director: Bryn Higgins
THE ONE WHERE Comedian Jamie Salter has a successful gig as the voice of Waldo, a potty-mouthed computer-generated blue bear with a penchant for embarrassing figures in the public eye. When his employers decide they want to push the character into a new arena, Salter reluctantly agrees to take Waldo to a hotly contested by-election – and ends up playing a much bigger part in proceedings than he expected.
VERDICT The third instalment of Black Mirror 2.0 is the least sci-fi of the lot. It's also the weakest of the series, a disappointing attempt at political satire that's neither funny nor perceptive enough to stick in the memory. The Thick Of It this ain't.
Indeed, as four-letter-word-spouting iconoclasts go, Waldo isn't going to be giving Malcolm Tucker any sleepless nights. He's a fantastic premise and brilliantly executed (he really does feel like a fully interactive character), but he's way too two-dimensional (pun intended) to convince as a zeitgeist-creating TV star. So where he should be skewering politicians with some clever, Ali G-style faux-ignorance, his conversation is instead based around the sort of unintelligent trash talk you'd expect to see on Jerry Springer. He's the animated equivalent of a "your mum" joke, and it quickly becomes tedious. In fact, the charmless Waldo's got so little going for him that you almost start to sympathise with slimy Tory candidate Liam Monroe. (Almost, but not quite.)
Even if you're prepared to accept that Waldo's crude nature is essentially the character's function in the story, everything else is utterly predictable. There isn't a storytelling trope here we haven't seen before, whether it's the unwitting bystander thrust into the forefront of political life (isn't that Being There ?), or a moral vacuum at the heart of big business.
It all leaves you wondering what Charlie Brooker is actually trying to say. That idiotic things are sometimes unfathomably popular? That the general populace has become disenchanted with politics? That the major political parties are all as bad as each other? That market forces sometimes bulldozer common sense? Hardly original targets, so – in the absence of many decent gags – what's the point in telling the story?
In the moments Brooker does do something unexpected it's totally unconvincing. The CIA taking an interest in Waldo as a potential catalyst for political change around the world is as ridiculous as appointing Edd the Duck as UK ambassador to the United Nations. And that end credits sequence where Waldo has taken over the world's media? It rings even less true than the replica boyfriend in "Be Right Back" . (Surely there'd be enough sane people left to pull the plug on Waldo long before anything like that came to pass. If not, this is possibly the most dystopian vision of the future ever committed to the screen.)
I could read Brooker's newspaper columns all day – he's one of my favourite writers, possessing a venom and wit that few others can match. Alas, when after being filtered through Waldo and company, that edge has been somewhat blunted. A big disappointment.
IT'S WOTSISNAMES The episode's leading man Daniel Rigby won a Bafta for his portrayal of Eric Morecambe in ace BBC drama Eric & Ernie , but you probably recognise him as one of the annoyingly smug students in those BT ads. Prospective Tory MP Liam Monroe, meanwhile, is played by Tobias Menzies, fallen angel Richard Pembroke in Eternal Law and Edmure Tully in the upcoming third season of Game Of Thrones .
TRIVIA Jason Flemyng's character, Waldo rights holder Jack Napier, shares a name with the pre-transformation incarnation of Jack Nicholson's Joker in Tim Burton's original Batman movie.
TRIVIA 2 The episode is based on an idea Brooker and Chris Morris had when they worked on Nathan Barley .
BEST LINE
Waldo [to Liam Monroe]: "You're a joke. You look less human than I do and I'm a made up bear with a turquoise cock."

Hydro towers are seen over a golf course in Toronto on Wednesday, November 4, 2015.
TORONTO – One of the largest chambers of commerce in Canada is calling for wider privatization of electricity distribution companies to increase competitiveness in an attempt to drive down costly Ontario electricity prices over the long-term.
In a report to be released Tuesday and obtained by The Canadian Press, the Toronto Region Board of Trade makes sweeping recommendations aimed at changing the province's troubled energy sector.
In the first of several reports to be released ahead of Ontario's 2018 provincial election called "Agenda for Growth," the board urges the province's political parties to adopt its findings to fix the system.
Board CEO Jan De Silva said the one of the report's key recommendations is to privatize – by a maximum of 10 per cent initially – portions of local hydro distribution companies which are now run by municipalities. That would lead to more innovation, more efficient operation and would benefit businesses and consumers, she said.
VIDEO: Ontario government cuts hydro rates but will future generations left with burden?
"The (distribution companies) that are sitting under government control are the ones where choices get made for a number of reasons over time but they have really burdened businesses and taxpayers with an unaffordable hydro system," she added.
In 2015, the Liberal government announced it would sell 60 per cent of Hydro One shares with the intent of raising billions to fund transit and infrastructure projects. More than a year before the Liberal government announced in 2015 that it would partially privatize Hydro One, polling showed strong opposition to the idea.
Pollara conducted research at the government's behest in January and February of 2014 asking people for their thoughts on selling Hydro One, and just 25 per cent of respondents supported the idea.
De Silva conceded the recommendation won't be popular because of the large public backlash to the provincial privatization of Hydro One, but said a broader discussion of the benefits of business involvement needs to start. Ontario's NDP have adamantly opposed the sale, vowing to buy back shares of the utility and restore it to full public control if the party is elected in 2018.
De Silva stressed that the board is hearing from its members that thousands of manufacturing jobs are heading to neighbouring jurisdictions which have cheaper hydro prices. Part of the aim of the report is to combat the stigma privatization has taken on the public consciousness, she said.
The report also calls for reform of the provincial electricity pricing system, including changing how price increases are communicated numerous times every year.
The report also recommends that cap and trade costs should be broken out and explained clearly in electricity bills. That runs counter to an Ontario Energy Board ruling in 2016 which said the costs would not be reported on a separate line on a consumer's bill for natural gas, which is used to heat most homes in the province.
"We think that people need to know where the source of their costs are coming from in order for them to make decisions or have choices on what things they can do to influence the amount that they're having to pay for their sources," Da Silva said.
The report also endorses carbon pricing but says regardless of the system implemented by government it must be revenue neutral through tax cuts or rebates to businesses and consumers.

"Now I can look at you in peace; I don't eat you any more."…
Hidden in a bend of the Mississippi River just south of New Orleans, 29 concrete bunkers lie on a grid of dirt and grass roads. Some hold remnants from the past—40-year-old gas masks and biohazard signs still hang on a wall. Most of them have been abandoned for decades. But inside two of those bunkers, 15 million fish eyes stare at the walls through the glass of their jars. This is the Royal D. Suttkus Fish Collection, the largest collection of preserved fish in the world, and almost no one knows it exists…
More of the story– and explore the collection– at "A Pair of WWII Bunkers in New Orleans Contains 7 Million Fish."
* Franz Kafka (commenting on his then new-found vegetarianism)
As we ponder preservation, we might spare a thought for David Starr Jordan; he died on this date in 1931. The leading ichthyologist of his time, he was also an educator and advocate for science. He became the youngest President of Indiana University, then founding President of Stanford; he was an expert witness at the Scopes Trial, testifying for the efficacy of the theory of evolution.
His career was not unblemished however: he helped cover up the murder of Jane Stanford, and argued in favor of eugenics.
