Up to 80% forecast win rate.
Binary Options Signal is a binary options alarm of good market conditions according to a binary options trading strategy.
It is well-known that before making a trade any trader has to make an analysis of the market and the asset. That information can help him to understand the market conditions and make a good trade.
The more information he gets from different binary options indicators or sources – the more chances he has to make a correct decision in making a trade and win it.
We developed a custom-made strategy that makes a technical analysis of the market and sends that information to our visitors.
As any forecast, the binary options signals cannot be 100% correct.
ISO Signals service has up to 80% forecast win rate working on the calm and mid-volatile market.
*Remember that during other market conditions ISO Binary Options Signals service will not give such great results.
We strongly recommend using additional indicators that will help you to filter bad signals and ignore trading on trend and high volatile marketT.
The binary options signals sent by ISO Signal Service contain full details that you can re-check with any third party system and analyse.
Active binary options signal contains the time when the signal was sent; the price(current price) that the asset has when the signal was sent; the strike price or the minimum price you need to make a trade from; expiry time or the time when you need to close the trade and direction of a trade.
Expired signals have more information: the expiry price or the price that the asset had at the expiry time; status of the signal i.e. was it won or lost; high and low prices, time and etc.
Our custom made binary options system gets the quotes from the worldwide finance market and makes technical analysis of the asset's prices in an automatic way.
That means that our binary options system can work and works 24 hours per day.
Please note that the real binary options market doesn't work on weekends and our binary options system also doesn't work that time.
All new forecasts issued by ISO Binary Options Signals contains all information you need to make a trade. It is very easy to understand what each signal means. From the example, you can see two signals.
The first one that was sent at 12:20:03 means: the price for the asset GBPJPY at 12:30:00 will be lower than 152.322. When you will see that the price for the asset during current 15 minute period (candle) higher than 152.322 you need to make PUT trade.
The second binary options signal issued at 12:20:25 means: the price for the asset EURGBP at 12:30:00 will be higher than 0.87362. In that case, if you see the price lower than 0.87362 you need to make CALL trade.
Of course, to make the correct binary options trade you must close it exactly at 12:30:00. Not a second earlier or later, because the price can differs.
All binary options signals have one expiry time – end of the current 15-minute candle (period).
That means that all trades opened during the signal was active must be closed exactly when it is written in the signal.
Why is that so important? That type of expiry makes all traders have at least one point that they can compare and analyse.
In other types of expiry, for example after 60 seconds or after 2, 5, 10, 15 minutes all traders have different entry and exit points, they simply do different trades and they cannot compare and analyse results.
Actually, you can do any type of trades with our signals, the trades with fixed expiry is just recommended.
ISO Binary Options Signals Service issues all signals in GMT / UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) timezone. That time zone is commonly used among all traders, brokers, scientists and even military.
We strongly recommend to use it. Special for new traders, we have implemented the possibility to convert all signals to the local time zone, depending on the settings of your device.
Remember that your device will change the time in the signal if your device has wrong timezone setting – you might have a problem with that. Use raw signals with GMT/UTC timezone in that case.
One of the advantages of using fixed expiry is that you do not need to react fast. You do not need to be in a hurry to make a trade right after you see the signal on the screen.
As usual, the good time to make a trade is between one minute to 5 minutes. Best price is generally reached within 2-5 minutes after the signal was sent.
So when you get the signal do not run too fast.
TIP: Add the signal to the chart in the software you use too analyze the market, check for other indicators, think and wait for the strike price or better price.
Check for the time when the best price was reached. If the market didn't change the next signals will have similar "best price" time.
Even with 120 seconds delay, you can trade signals with profit.
Of course, without that delay, you will have 120 seconds more time to react and analyse.
Paid Best Binary Options Signals have full detailed statistics for all signals that were sent! You have a lot of useful information that you need to analyse.
Check the stats day by day, find the time when the signals work better, compare results with third-party charts and do not forget to check for the type of the market that was when the service sent good signals.
Remember Free Binary Options Signals do not have long stats history!
The information on this website must be used only for education. To avoid potential risks Imexpert-Ltd© recommends you to trade only on binary options demo accounts.
After years of reviewing various brokers we have found a couple of trustworthy brokers that offer a completely FREE demo account without limitations or strings attached.

The Outlaws lost 53-42 to Seaside, the No. 2 seed, in the first round of the 4A state playoffs on Saturday, March 2.
Sisters played tough defense in the first quarter, but on offense missed several good looks at the basket and had some costly turnovers. At the close of the period the Outlaws trailed 10-7.
Jack Berg picked up two fouls in the first quarter and a quick third in the second and had to sit out the remainder of the first half. The Outlaws worked hard to stay with the Gulls and at the half were down by just five, 23-18.
In the second half, the Outlaws went down by eight and from there struggled to get back in the game. The Gulls slowly extended their lead and beat the Outlaws by 11.
Sisters had 13 turnovers, most of which were due to forced passes and over dribbling in the half court. The numerous turnovers were costly against the quick-pressure Seaside team.
Brad Eagan, Ryan Waddell, and Zach Anderson all took turns bringing the ball up the court against the Gull's full-court man-to-man press, and Coach Rand Runco told The Nugget he felt they all did a great job.
The Gulls beat the Outlaws on the glass, and scored over 10 of their points on the offensive boards. Runco noted that the Gulls were a bit stronger, and their quickness and aggressiveness took its toll.
Noah Richards led the Outlaws squad with 13 points. Ryan Waddell scored nine points and Zach Anderson and Jack Berg each scored eight points.
"We are really proud of the boys," said Runco. "They played hard the entire game and never let it get away, but kept battling back. It was a really tough loss and disappointing. Our goal was to go further, but we played well against a really good team. The game really could have gone either way."
"This is a great group of seniors and they will be missed," added Runco. "They are not only great basketball players, but are quality young men that represented the Outlaws well."

Rescuing Our History from the Ashes
Smithsonian Institution's Preparedness and Response in Collections Emergencies (PRICE) workshop at the National Fire Research Laboratory

What strikes terror in the hearts of museum curators everywhere? Budget cuts, surely. But worse yet, the prospect of precious, irreplaceable relics being damaged or destroyed in a fire. The Sept. 2, 2018, fire at Brazil's National Museum, estimated to have consumed 90 percent of its 20 million cultural and scientific artifacts, underscores the reality of this danger.
So, how does the Smithsonian Institution, steward of over 150 million artifacts — from the spacesuit Neil Armstrong wore on the moon to Dorothy's ruby slippers — prepare for such disasters?
As "The Incredibles" icon Edna Mode would say (paraphrasing Louis Pasteur), "Luck favors the prepared."
Click here to read the full blog post about this collaboration between the NFRL and Smithsonian Institution.
Is it over yet? A pottery mask from, amusingly, the "MacGuffin Collection" awaits the burn.
Shelves inside a storage cabinet are filled with a variety of different objects. The shelves and cabinet doors were closed before the fire began.

The experiment was part of a Smithsonian Institution Preparedness and Response in Collections Emergencies (PRICE) workshop held at NIST's National Fire Research Laboratory (NFRL). The fire was ignited using an 'electric match' placed in a trash can filled with shredded paper and plastic bottles and spread to involve a cardboard box filled with packing peanuts and neighboring materials. The fire was extinguished manually using an overhead sprinkler prior to compartment flashover at an upper layer gas temperature of approximately 750 C. The spherical camera used to record the video was housed in special enclosure developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

The American section at Lycée International of St Germain-en-Laye is a private association within the Lycée International, a public school that is structured to receive both French and foreign students. The American Section is managed by an Executive Board elected by the parents, and by an American Director under the overall authority of the French Proviseur (Headmaster) of the Lycée.
The Lycée International has a French national curriculum centering on mathematics and the sciences, humanities and modern languages. The American Section offers complementary courses in language arts, literature, and social studies from Pre-Kindergarten to Terminale (12th year), taught by North American teachers in American Section classrooms for six to eight hours per week. All graduating students earn the OIB - the Option Internationale du Baccalauréat Français. OIB exercises are the final exams for the Lycée, often permitting advanced placement at American universities.
A co-operative program has been established in another primary school (the Ecole Schnapper) for Grades 1-5 and for the middle school, grades 6-9 at the College Marcel Roby, both in St Germain-en-Laye. American Section classes are taught there by American teachers and the curriculum is parallel to that of the Lycée. Some elementary school children are also enrolled in their local schools and attend only the language classes at the Lycée two half-days per week in an 'externé' program.
Students at Lycée International of St Germain-en-Laye whose written and spoken French is not fluent follow a program of intensive French for approximately 15 hours per week during the first year. They also study together as a group in mathematics and science and eventually integrate into their normal grade level in the Lycée for French, math, science, etc., while continuing their American grade-level curriculum throughout in English and social studies.
The Lycée International of St Germain-en-Laye school day is from 09:00 -17:00 Monday through Friday, with Wednesday afternoon free in the Primary and Middle School. A hot meal is served daily, and a wide variety of sports and cultural activities is offered, most notably primary activities and library skills and, in the secondary school, Model United Nations, drama, yearbook, current affairs magazine, student council, and various musical activities.
The main criteria for admission are academic ability, as judged by samples of English work, standardized test results, and previous school transcripts. Fluent English, but not fluent French, is required.


For her service learning project, Faith organized a conference entitled "My Island, My Heart" on March 14th, 2014. It explored three themes: island fragility, island sustainability, and island community. The goals of this initiative were to develop an event for students and community members, involve them in the realities of their environment and make them aware of their own importance within it. The event consisted of several speakers who delivered a mixture of presentations: Dr. Jim Randall (Island Studies), a student panel made up of Island Studies Master's students, chaired by Dr. Jean Mitchell (Department of Anthropology), Laurie Brinklow (Island Studies), Deirdre Kessler (children's writer, poet, editor, and instructor), and Millefiore Clarkes (PEI filmmaker).
Faith's tasks involved making all communications and requests to guest speakers, answering any and all queries about the event, creating a schedule, book the location, promoting the event using a PSA and posters which included her own original graphic design, and organizing equipment and refreshments.
During the UPEI Stories Showcase, Faith was awarded the UPEI University 100 Verner Smitheram and Andy Robb Excellence in Leadership Award for her Service Learning project, "My Island, My Heart". Congratulations, Faith!
For their Service Learning project Teagan and Alyssa completed a placement at the Upper Room Soup Kitchen in Charlottetown, PE. The Soup Kitchen serves lunch daily at 11:30 am, and supper on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 4:30 pm. Many volunteers, church groups, and other non-profit organizations prepare the meals throughout the week, on weekends and during special occasions. Teagan and Alyssa volunteered for a total of 10 hours. They assisted in the kitchen at meal time with preparation of food and drinks, directly served individuals, and cleaned up after the meal.
Teagan says, "I had always wanted to volunteer at a Soup Kitchen but Service Learning finally gave me the push I needed to do so. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly. I felt as if I was in a room amongst friends, simply helping them prepare supper and serve it. Volunteering at the Soup Kitchen was such a fantastic opportunity that I will cherish forever. I hope to continue volunteering at the Upper Room in the future".
These volunteer experiences were beneficial to the University 100 students as they both aspire to careers involved with helping people and are currently taking courses in Psychology and Sociology at UPEI. Teagan and Alyssa felt as though this opportunity provided them with the foundation they need to have a successful understanding of people and further their knowledge outside of the classroom while reassuring them that they are on the right track with their studies and future career goals.
On November 9th, 2013, Alysha and Danielle volunteered at the International STOP Cyber bullying Youth Summit held at the Confederation Arts Centre. This one day event aimed to raise awareness about the harmful effects associated with cyber bullying. Their host for the day was Parry Aftab, an advocate for all aspects of cyber bullying. The event also consisted of a panel made up of a variety of leaders from well-known companies including a representative from Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and Build A Bear. Throughout the day, their job was to make sure that the event proceeded as smoothly as possible. Some of the tasks they were responsible for included; registration, maintaining structure of the event area, as well as assisting participant's and young children with any questions or concerns they had. As the event was taking place, Alysha and Danielle were able to observe some of the speakers address the situation on cyber bullying.
Through this experience they felt they were able to deepen their understanding on how various leaders use their abilities to grasp the audience's attention. Alysha and Danielle also learned the benefits of using different leadership styles. Reflecting back on this experience, these students felt they were able to further develop their own personal leadership skills and were exposed to positive role models which they believed would help guide them toward becoming the leaders they want to be in the future.
Veronica completed her Service Learning project with Curl PEI where she organized a "Sports Day in Canada" event for curling clubs on November 30, 2013. This event included an open house at curling clubs across the Island where anyone could come out and try the sport for free. Veronica's duties included proposing the idea to the club representatives and executive members of the Curl PEI board, creating curriculum for each club, answering questions about the event, emailing countless organizations to get the word out and was present at various curling clubs to help with the on-ice portion on the day of the event.
Veronica says, "I was able to learn a lot from this project regarding the information we covered in the course. I was able to see what kind of leader I was and how I liked to interact with people. I am also someone who loves to plan and organize events so this was a perfect fit for me. I was able to create a network of contacts as I was working many people in curling community and local organizations." Here is what Veronica felt as she reflected back on her Service Learning Experience, "This experience is one that I will never forget. I was able to give back to the curling community and raise awareness about the sport." Veronica plans on continuing this event while working with Curl PEI in the future.
For his service learning project, Adam, volunteered at Birchwood Intermediate School. Birchwood houses students in grades seven, eight and nine and is located near downtown Charlottetown. During his time at Birchwood, Adam assisted various teachers in different subjects. He handed out assignments, assisted with students' questions, and helped with classroom management.
Adam says, "I learned many things from my time in the classroom and furthered my experience dealing with students of that age group. This experience is particularly valuable to me because I am pursuing a career in education in the future. By meeting the staff at Birchwood, I had the opportunity to network with Island educators, increasing the likelihood for future substitute teaching positions." Adam learned how to deal with talkative students in the classroom without distracting their classmates. He believed this project helped the students of Birchwood because they had another person in the room who was able to answer their questions and provide one on one interaction they may not have had otherwise.
Nathan's Service Learning initiative was entitled the Leadership Against Bullying Project. The L.A.B.P. is based on club members from the Boys and Girls Club of Summerside learning and creating their own anti-bullying campaign.
With assistance from the Summerside Capitals, club members from all over Summerside were able to raise funds at a "Pink at the Rink" day for their newly developed "Pick with Me" program that combines both music and bullying discussion. Club members also developed anti-bullying game rooms, anti-bullying bracelets, and encouraged teachers in the community to open up discussions about bullying.
For Nathan, this project has opened up job opportunities and most importantly has offered an opportunity to give back to the community while discussing a very important issue. The L.A.B.P. won the Verner Smitheram and Andy Robb Leadership award last year and continues to draw attention. "The L.A.B.P. is one of my greatest accomplishments and hopefully it will continue to encourage people to take an active stance in a very important issue," says the recent UPEI Graduate.
Nathan has been invited to numerous schools over the past 6 years to speak about bullying and will continue to do so passionately. On February 26, 2014, Nathan will be speaking to the Boys and Girls Club of Summerside and Greenfield Elementary School and will be on 102.1 Spud FM at noon to discuss the success of last year's L.A.B.P.
Chloe completed her first placement with a former teacher, Stephen Gallaway, at Bluefield High School in Hampshire, PE. She had the opportunity to help students in the classroom and even taught a few lessons on her own. Chloe also learned a variety of skills that you may not initially associate with teaching such as learning how to use the photocopier, how to take attendance, and how to create report cards.
Over Simone's 25 hours of volunteer work she volunteered at Vernon River Consolidated School, which she attended from Kindergarten through to Grade 9 in the past. Simone was able to volunteer with her former 6th Grade teacher. Vernon River is a very small community between Stratford and Montague; there are approximately 150 students from Kindergarten to Grade 9. Simone says, "The school and staff are amazing and most of the teachers teach a variety of classes." The classroom Simone volunteered in was very small, only 18 students enrolled. In the classroom she learned a number of skills such as how to mark tests, assignments, and helping students learn through different modalities such as auditory and visual.
Recently, Simone has had the opportunity to go back to Vernon River Consolidated School. This time she was assigned to the Junior High helping Natalie Bulger with her Language Arts and Health classes. It was in these classes, that Simone started a Reading Club which gives the Junior High student a chance to a book they are interested in and then discuss what they have read. Simone says "Growing up I hated to read. I think it was the thought of someone telling me to read this 200 page book that didn't interest me. It wasn't until I was in Grade 10 that I liked Romantic novels. Doing the Reading Club gives the students a chance to discover their interests then improve upon their skills in reading and group discussions. This could help them in the future. You have to know the meaning behind what you are reading not just the words on the page." She is hopeful that the Reading Club will continue over the next few years.
Simone says, "Being given this amazing opportunity, allowed me to see if I really wanted to become a teacher. It helped open my eyes and encouraged me to pursue my dreams. From a young age, I would make my sister and cousins play school with me. Teaching them helped me to learn the material from school that day. After thinking about it, my sister would be in grade 1 learning grade 5 division and now she's a math genius."Simone is thankful for this experience. She loved the interaction with students and teachers, in the classroom and out on the playground. She is not 100% sure if teaching is for her, but she does see herself working with children in the future.

This book presents an exhaustive overview of electrochemical sensors and biosensors for the analysis and monitoring of the most important analytes in the environmental field, in industry, in treatment plants and in environmental research. The chapters give the reader a comprehensive, state-of-the-art picture of the field of electrochemical sensors suitable to environmental analytes, from the theoretical principles of their design to their implementation, realization and application.
The first three chapters discuss fundamentals, and the last three chapters cover the main groups of analytes of environmental interest.


"Aquafaba" means "bean water" — the water that is drained off neutral-colored beans like chickpeas, navy beans and cannellini beans.
The discovery of aquafaba has blown open the world of vegan baking. Things that were once considered impossible are now possible, and the options are endless. The chemical properties of eggs were thought to be integral to binding and leavening baked foods, and replacing them was a challenge that was difficult for vegan bakers to solve. But aquafaba is the perfect substitution for eggs, as its protein mimics their chemical magic. And since it is neutral in flavor, you don't need to worry about your dishes tasting beany.
This incredible cookbook will be treasured not only by vegans but also by anyone who is allergic to dairy and eggs. It provides ample proof that you can go egg-free and still enjoy all of your favorite foods. Rebecca's delicious recipes will convert even ardent egg lovers, and you will never miss eggs again!
The general rule of thumb is that 3 tbsp (45 mL) of aquafaba equals 1 egg. By mixing in some sugar and a pinch of cream of tartar, you can even mimic meringue. You no longer have to live without the culinary wonders that eggs and egg whites produce. All you need to do is open up a can of chickpeas, drain the water, and you're good to go.

Welcome to our stop on tour for Love Between Enemies. This tour is hosted by Chapter by Chapter.
Zoey Handler is ready to put an end to her decade-long rivalry with Gordon Meyers. They've traded top spot between valedictorian and salutatorian for years, but all that's over now. Right? But after a crazy graduation speech prank gets out of hand, suddenly their rivalry turns into all-out war. Time to make peace with a little friendly payback. Step one? Make him believe they're now friends. Step two? Show him the time of his life at an epic graduation party. Step three? Don't fall for his tricks. Step four? Absolutely, positively, do not kiss him again. So what if he's cute? (Okay, hot.) So what if he's charming? (Heaven help her, tempting.) So what if he apologizes? (That has to be fake.) She knows the real Gordon. And no matter how much her heart begs her to stop, there's no turning back. Disclaimer: This Entangled Teen Crush book contains one epic party, complete with every high-schoolers-gone-bad shenanigan, and two rivals who discover maybe they could be something much more…if only they'd stop fighting long enough to notice it.
I don't know if your high school was the same but in mine there was always this obvious but unspoken tension between the top two students. Gordon and Zoey come from different statuses but are both hard workers nonetheless. Zoey is seeking revenge towards Gordon and did she take things too far? Maybe, but I'm here for it. If this was real life I'd hate her but I only ended up being slightly annoyed by Zoey. Gordon on the other hand I just absolutely adored.
Love Between Enemies was exactly the read I needed right now. Something light and fast. And although it's a YA novel it borders that NA line and I'm all about that style. Lee wrote this so perfectly that you'll pick it up and put it down in one sitting. Who isn't a sucker for that whole "falling for the enemy" thing am I right?
The ending was perfect and wrapped everything up so well! Zoey takes Gordon for such a wild ride and in the end redeems herself. This is definitely one id be reccommending from now on!

Goodbye Kim Fabricius
Kim Fabricius has been a genuine theological treat since I discovered his work a couple of years ago via the excellent Ben Myers blog Faith and Theology. Today, via a Tweet by British Baptist Andy Goodliff I discovered that Kim had unexpectedly died over the weekend, aged a mere 69, and despite the current UK heatwave, I went cold with the news!
I cannot begin to tell you the sheer joy a theological realist can give. Kim had a gift that I think was quite unique, one of those people who would definitely be on those Dinner Party Guest Lists that we knock up every know and then. His love for God and the centrality of Christ was totally inspiring. He knew in Whom he believed and it inspired genuine faith in so many others.
For the sake of time, and in honour of Kim's work, here is a list of his short and alarming sayings he so often wrote, called 'Doodlings' over at Faith and Theology. These ones have been copied from Andy Goodliff's post from 20th July 2015:
If there were cameras at Calvary, Christianity would be a cliché.
Sermons are like basketball games: everything is won or lost in the last five minutes.
Jesus said, "Where two are three are gathered together in my name, there is the C of E in 50 years."
To all ministers troubled by a sense of failure – and your point is?
What is heaven like? A lot like jail: no rich people.
People often talk of church planting when they mean church cloning.
The best sermon I've ever preached is probably the worst sermon they've ever heard.
So you're a minister. Do you have an office? If you do, you're not a minister. A CEO has an office, a minister has a study.
A woman once asked me why I never preach on taking Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour. "Because, ma'am, I preach on the Bible."
Any preacher who brandishes a book and declares "God says …!" can only be waving the Qur'an, not the Bible.
Sermons are like apples. They come in sharp and sweet, crisp and soft, dry and juicy, and they ripen at different times of the year. And no one likes the core.
The difference between a Barth and a Piper is that the former glorifies God, the latter deifies Glory.
For some complementarians, it's wasn't Adam and Eve, it was Adam and Jeeves.
A Methodist friend of mine asked me if I would help him with a talk he was preparing on Arminianism. I said, "Only if it's a eulogy."
For a quintessential oxymoron, "successful church" ranks right up there with "smartphone".
God invented the church to give atheists a fighting chance.
Contemporary translation of Mark 14:26b: "On the way, Jesus paused to check his Facebook page. It said: 'You have 0 friends'."
"Cognitive Therapy"? You mean "preaching"?
Creationists do not disbelieve in science. On the contrary, creationists believe only in science – crap science.
A proposal for the translation of ekklesia: "kindergarten".
Prosperity Gospel Jesus: "I am the Alpha and the Romeo."
We pray for Kim's family, his followers and for his close friend Ben Myers, whose book on the Apostles' Creed I just bought this very morning! We mourn with you.
RIP Kim Fabricius. The most alarming, realistic, hilarious, hopeful, inspiring pessimist I ever read!

Elswick Pool protesters turn out to vent fears as facility is set to close
Families in Elswick are pleading with cash-strapped Newcastle City Council to change its decision to shut the Newcastle pool
Keiran Southern
A meeting at Elswick Pool in Newcastle to discuss plans to march in protest over the proposed closure of the pool
Desperate families have warned the heart will be "ripped out of the community" if the council closes their swimming pool.
Newcastle City Council announced the closure of Elswick Pool earlier this month, saying it could no longer afford to keep it open due to Government cuts.
The news followed a three-year fight from residents, who turned up outside the pool on Saturday to protest against the closure.
Diane Tait, 31, part of the group Parents Against Cuts Newcastle, who organised the meeting, said: "It went well. There was a lot of emotion but we tried to keep that to a minimum so we could discuss a plan of action. Everyone is angry.
Elswick Pool, which is under threat of closure
"It would mean a lot if we could save the pool. My child is starting school in September and if the pool stays open that's where she will learn to swim. It means a lot for this community.
"The park is already falling into disrepair. I am a single mum and if the swimming pool building gets mothballed I would not feel safe in the park.
"We have a strong community and everyone knows each other. If the swimming pool goes, the heart will be ripped out of the community."
Diane, who is studying health nutrition at Northumbria University, has said the group are not sure yet if they would take over the running of the pool, due to concerns over funding.
The mum, of Cruddas Park, in Newcastle's West End, added: "It says a lot about health inequality. The council are not making it easy for people to have a healthy lifestyles.
"A lot of the minority community use the pool as it has women's only days and older people come to exercise.
"Schools go there for trips but how can children learn to swim without a pool?"
The council said it "bitterly regretted" its decision to close the pool and revealed that none of the operators bidding to take over the running of other facilities - which include All Saints Sports Centre; Centre for Sport; East End Pool; and Walker Activity Dome - had plans for the site.
Councillors Ann Schofield and David Stockdale have announced their opposition to the closure and Coun Dipu Ahad said he was "gobsmacked and devastated" at the news that his childhood pool would be shut.
Geordie celebrities Ant and Dec have also added their support to the campaign through Twitter, and it is thought Dec used the pool when he was growing up in Newcastle.
Elswick Pool is due to close in October.
Newcastle City Council said it will continue to work with any party interested in running Elswick Pool as a community project, similar to those in Fenham and Jesmond.

Will Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint reprise their roles for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child film trilogy? | HELLO!
Will Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint reprise their roles for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child film trilogy?
Following the success of the stage play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, it has been reported that Warner Bros are keen to make a film trilogy based on the story, and have already approached Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint about returning to the incredibly popular franchise in their roles as Harry, Ron and Hermione.
According to historian and journalist Jim Hill, the trio who starred in the original eight films have already spoken to Warners Bros about eventually returning to the franchise. Chatting to the Unofficial Universal Orlando podcast, he said: "I have heard that Warner Bros has actually had conversations with [Emma], with Rupert, and, of course, Daniel about Cursed Child, because they want this to be, for lack of a better term, Harry Potter: The Force Awakens. They want this trilogy of movies to have the actors that we know and love from the original films, that we watched grow up, as adults and, of course, they're hiring a bunch of new, younger actors to play their children with the hope that, if we can lean on JK [Rowling], maybe there'll be The Cursed Adolescent."
Daniel has previously spoken about potentially returning as Harry Potter for films in the future, telling Hollywood Reporter: "I'm never going to close the door; that would be a stupid thing to do. But I think I'll be happy enough and secure enough to let someone else play it." He even spoke about playing an older Harry for a potential Cursed Child film, saying: "At the moment it's not even a concern because I'm too young to play the character, but even in 10 years' time I would still feel strange about going back to it. There's a part of me that's like, some things are better left untouched."


No one wants to be rejected. When it happens, we take it personally and go through stages of hurt, anger and resolution.
When your employees leave your firm, you may travel the same path. However, employees typically make a decision to "fly the nest" only after careful deliberation. Therefore, these soon-to-be ex-employees should not be treated as defectors or traitors, but rather as potential future candidates.
When I interview candidates, one of the first things I do is review their professional history with them. Often they tell me that they would like to return to a past employer, but their managers were so angry when they resigned, that they are afraid of being rejected. They would rather work for a different company than be rebuffed.
1. Tell them that you respect their decision to leave.
2. Make sure they know if they change their mind, you would be happy for them to stay.
3. If you would welcome them back in the future, tell them.
As a recruiting expert, I caution employees not to burn their bridges as they leave, neither should you do so as an employer!

How to Make an App like UC Browser or CM Browser?
Anastasiya July 13, 2020 App Ideas
Browser apps are one of the most popular categories of mobile apps on markets. They are used to access web pages and their content. Unlike some apps, browsers have always been on-trend. Users are constantly looking for new browsers to meet their needs: fast connection, easy access to information, more customization, privacy, etc. And some apps failed to do that in terms of privacy.
For example, UC Browser, Browser UC Mini or CM Browser. Both of them are the top apps with 500+ million installs each. In July 2020 these apps were banned in India among 57 other apps. The Indian government believes the apps "pose a threat to sovereignty and security" of the country. This has put the safety and security of CM and UC Browsers under consideration. But at the same time, the ban has opened an opportunity for app developers to release new browser apps and get users that are no longer can use UC Browser or CM Browser.
So what makes these browsers so good? And how can you make an app like these ones and repeat their success?
Before starting developing a browser app, you need to make the list of features. These are the most important functionalities of UC Browser and CM Browser:
1. Customization
The Browser app should allow users to customize it the way they want. It can include setting the layout with dark mode, color schemes, text scaling, etc.
2. Multi-tab browsing support
Users surf on multiple pages. It easier for user experience to switch between tabs than to open websites one by one again and again, or even using a few browsers apps for this need.
3. Download management
It's not a rare case when users download something from the web right on their phone. It can be anything: a book, a song, documents, images, etc. Users need to access downloaded files right away. Most apps have the "Downloads' tab on the menu and even offer some basic management features like deleting the files.
4. Bookmarks
It's hard to keep in mind all website addresses you need to daily life. Or how can a user save the information he found useful? In this case, every browser should offer bookmarks. It's an easy way to save website URLs and access them in 1 touch.
5. Homepage and quick access
Apart from bookmarks, your browser app should have a homepage. The homepage is the first page users can see, once they open the app. The address for the homepage can be set by default by your team and users should have an opportunity to change it to any other website. What people usually set as homepage: work website, email, local news, weather forecast, etc.
6. In-App widgets
Widgets inside browser apps become more and more popular. They present easy access to interesting information for users: a list of bookmarks, weather forecasts, a news feed, etc. Widgets are mostly used instead of the homepage.
7. Push-notifications support
To engage users you need to have a tool for direct contact. And we don't necessarily tell you to send notifications yourself. Websites can send push-notifications to engage with their users through your browser app. Imagine, a user got on a website with clothing though your browser, subscribed to the notifications, left the website. Some time later, the clothing retailer will be able to send a notification to your user through your browser. The user comes back to the app to see the update he received from a different website. It's a win-win situation for everyone.
8. High speed of connection
The browser should support any time of connection: 2G, 3G, 4G, Wi-Fi. The app should process the page loading as fast as it's possible. Sometimes it means to compress the images, disable auto-play of videos, etc. Keep in mind that Internet connection speed varies from one country to another. In the USA you may have 20 Mbps on average, in Sri-Lanka – 4 Mbps. The browser app should work perfectly at any speed.
9. Privacy and security
Users need the full privacy of their data. You need to provide the safety of personal information of your users: their passwords, addresses, names, etc.
Apart from that, browser apps can have features like add-on support, cloud boost, gestures, etc.
With or without a strong app browser concept, you need a team to develop the actual app. App development teams include:
Project manager. He/she coordinates all stages of app development, tracks the progress, helps coders and designers work intact. So far if you plan to make a browser app, you can be the project manager.
Full-stack app developer. He/she codes the app's main functionality and layout. App developers specialize in coding for Android or iOs. If you plan to make an app for both mobile OS, you need to hire 2 developers.
UI/UX designer. He/she creates a design and layout of the app. It includes designing the layout, navigation, and features.
Q&A specialist. He/she test the app to find the issues before the app release. All the bugs and errors in the app functionality should be fixed by the app developer.
If you want to make a business with your app, then you should consider having in your team: business strategist, marketing, and ASO specialists.
How much does it cost to make an app like UC Browser or CM Browser?
Developing browser apps like UC Browser, UC Browser Mini or CM Browser will cost you $15,000-$50,000. The higher level of the app, the higher the final price.
You can cut the price by up to 20% if you develop your app in the country with low incomes, for example in India. App building in the USA can cost you up to 5 times more than app development in India, Pakistan, and some other countries. Instead of hiring a company, you can hire freelancers on UpWork. App developers, designers, Q&A specialists are widely presented on freelance platforms. But be careful, sometimes the cheap work can turn into the expensive one. After hiring one freelancer for a low price, you might need to hire another one, more professional, who will fix the issues.
Cutting features can also affect the price of your app. Think of what features are not that important for your launch? Maybe having push notifications support or weather forecast is not the most important? You can always go back to add new features after the release.
How to make an app like UC Browser or CM Browser for Free?
No need to invest thousands of dollars and years of your life into browser app development. You can build an app like UC Browser or CM Browser for free without coding or any other special skills. Even if you still want to build a professional app, you can test your concept or idea with a free browser app before investing your money.

The Pros and Cons of Cell Phones in Modern Life


Remember when Trump spoke at AIPAC's 2016 Annual Conference when he was a candidate and said the following?
"If we don't come up with a strategy against Iran, we're going to make Israel go to war here pretty soon." according to CBS News.
A strategy will be surely discussed, the question is, what will it be? An all-out war against Israel's neighbors involving the 2,000 U.S. troops already stationed in Syria?
Jerusalem and the Third Intifada?
So the U.S. will have to fight a multi-front war not only with Syria, Hezbollah, Lebanon but now with the Palestinians.
The close relationship between the Trump Administration and the Netanyahu government can lead to a regional war that will involve a coordinated US-Israeli attack on Iran, but only, and I repeat, only if they can defeat Syria, Hezbollah, Lebanon and now the Palestinians. A war against Iran will be long and costly and at the expense of U.S. taxpayers. The U.S. currently holds close to $20 trillion in debt (war will significantly increase the U.S. debt total) and it keeps rising. Another war will only benefit the Military-Industrial Complex and Israel (who also plans to expand its territory to create a Greater Israel) who want total control over the region's natural resources including water, oil and gas. War is on the agenda and with Trump in the White House, Israel's security will be top priority. Is the U.S. and Israel that confident that they achieve their geopolitical agenda in a Multi-front war in the Middle East that will include Russia and China? If so, Insanity has completely taken-hold in the Trump White house.

Check out my interview on this wonderful podcast! I discuss the wild and unpredictable road of starting a small business, my first large purchase order with a national retailer, and the designer scene of women in New York City. It was a blast!


Now that it's officially that last stretch of winter, I'm getting myself pumped for spring plants!! I am a plant junkie. I confess. I've got waaaaay more than any 700sq ft apartment should ever have. And I need more. I try to keep it at only 1 new plant a year, but how is that freakin possible??
A billy button house. How cute is this??
This adorable mushroom landscape. SWOON!
I love love love all of these! I'm thinking little plastic animals and some succulents with some brightly colored painted mini-sticks. SO cute!
Have you guys made one of these before???
I made a moss terrarium last spring!
I seriously loved it, but one day I was packing for a camping trip and flipped my Coleman stove open unthinkingly and tipped the contents of it all over the kitchen table. I was pretty crushed. I saw some super cute terrariums at a vintage fair today - succulents in vintage glass jars! It's inspired me to try again!
I love the hangy one!
They are so cute! I was thinking about having them scattered around our reception venue for the wedding.. think I might have to do some googling and diy!
I love making these little guys! And I hear ya, plants are lovely. I can't wait till the snow goes away and I can start a little garden on the deck!
The teardrop shaped one is so cool. I haven't ever made one, but it's on my to do list. Hope you have a fantastic trip, and that you have the opportunity to make some memories.
I'm so in love with terrariums. I want one!
I love terrariums! That last one is my favorite.

Cheetah vs. Leopard
The main difference between Cheetah and Leopard is that the Cheetah is a large feline of the genus Acinonyx and Leopard is a species of mammal.
The cheetah (; Acinonyx jubatus) is a large cat of the subfamily Felinae that occurs in Southern, North and East Africa, and a few localities in Iran. The species is IUCN Red Listed as vulnerable, as it suffered a substantial decline in its historic range in the 20th century due to habitat loss, poaching, illegal pet trade, and conflict with humans. By 2016, the global cheetah population has been estimated at approximately 7,100 individuals in the wild. Several African countries have taken steps to improve cheetah conservation measures.It is the fastest land animal. The only extant member of the genus Acinonyx, the cheetah was formally described by Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber in 1775. The cheetah is characterised by a slender body, deep chest, spotted coat, small rounded head, black tear-like streaks on the face, long thin legs and long spotted tail. Its lightly built, slender form is in sharp contrast with the robust build of the big cats, making it more similar to the cougar. The cheetah reaches 70 to 90 cm (28 to 35 in) at the shoulder, and weighs 21–72 kg (46–159 lb). Although taller than the leopard, it is notably smaller than the lion. Typically yellowish tan or rufous to greyish white, the coat is uniformly covered with nearly 2,000 solid black spots.
Cheetahs are active mainly during the day, with hunting their major activity. Adult males are sociable despite their territoriality, forming groups called coalitions. Females are not territorial; they may be solitary or live with their offspring in home ranges. Carnivores, cheetah mainly prey upon antelopes and gazelles. They will stalk their prey to within 100–300 m (330–980 ft), charge towards it and kill it by tripping it during the chase and biting its throat to suffocate it to death. Cheetahs can reach speeds of 112 km/h (70 mph) in short bursts, but this is disputed by more recent measurements. The average speed of a cheetah while hunting is about 64 km/h (40 mph). Cheetahs are induced ovulators, breeding throughout the year. Gestation is nearly three months long, resulting in a litter of typically three to five cubs (the number can vary from one to eight). Weaning occurs at six months; siblings tend to stay together for some time. Cheetah cubs face higher mortality than most other mammals, especially in the Serengeti region. Cheetahs inhabit a variety of habitats – dry forests, scrub forests and savannahs.
Because of its prowess at hunting, the cheetah was tamed and used to kill game at hunts in the past. The animal has been widely depicted in art, literature, advertising and animation.
The leopard (Panthera pardus) is one of the five species in the genus Panthera, a member of the Felidae. The leopard occurs in a wide range in sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Asia. Leopards are listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List because leopard populations are threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation, and are declining in large parts of the global range. In Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuwait, Syria, Libya, Tunisia and most likely in Morocco, leopard populations have already been extirpated.
Contemporary records suggest that the leopard occurs in only 25% of its historical global range.
Leopards are hunted illegally, and their body parts are smuggled in the wildlife trade for medicinal practices and decoration.Compared to other wild cats, the leopard has relatively short legs and a long body with a large skull. It is similar in appearance to the jaguar, but generally has a smaller, lighter physique. Its fur is marked with rosettes similar to those of the jaguar, but the leopard's rosettes are generally smaller, more densely packed and without central spots. Both leopards and jaguars that are melanistic are known as black panthers. The leopard is distinguished by its well-camouflaged fur, opportunistic hunting behaviour, broad diet, and strength (which it uses to move heavy carcasses into trees), as well as its ability to adapt to various habitats ranging from rainforest to steppe, including arid and montane areas, and its ability to run at speeds of up to 58 kilometres per hour (36 mph).Fossil parts dating to the Late Pleistocene were excavated in Europe and Japan.
Cheetah (noun)
A distinctive member (Acinonyx jubatus) of the cat family, slightly smaller than the leopard, but with proportionately longer limbs and a smaller head. It is native to Africa and also credited with being the fastest terrestrial animal.
Leopard (noun)
Panthera pardus, a large wild cat with a spotted coat native to Africa and Asia, especially the male of the species .
The clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa), a similar-looking large wild cat native to Asia.
The snow leopard (Panthera uncia), a similar-looking large wild cat native to Asia.
A lion passant guardant.

'Aussie sheik' Feiz Mohammed: "If you allow your woman to attend a Western university, you are a cuckold"
January 1, 2012 sheikyermami	6 Comments
"If a Muslim wife, sister, or daughter sits in a classroom with a male professor and other men all around her, it's as if she were cheating on you."
The little creep is becoming increasingly unhinged. He's also put on a fair bit of body-fat. When you watch this, remember that Jooliar & co are feeding lunatics like him with your tax-dollars.
Thanks to BNI for keeping an eye on this mug:
How do you assimilate a 7th Century lunatic into a 21st Century world? You don't. You won't change the Muslims who are already there, but you can ban more Muslim immigrants from coming in. In virtually every civilized nation in which Muslims reside, the majority do NOT want to assimilate, because their religion tells them that eventually, Islam will dominate every country on earth.
Our old "friend" Iftikhar Ahmad also left some of his droppings on the BNI thread, always good for a laugh: here he claims that all Islamic terrorists in the west were educated in the public school system. If we would pay for  proper Islamic indoctrination they would be peaceful and not hate us like they do….
Nice try……. but it doesn't stop there:
AUSTRALIA: Muslims demand federal government permit Islamic law…even though they are already using it
In a submission to a parliamentary inquiry into multiculturalism, the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils (AFIC) also requested that taxpayers help fund the expansion of Islamic schools and halal food outlets. (BNI)

Open Your Eyes Australia says:
As an Australian Grandmother I feel absolutely offended that our government lets people like this into Australia and then allows them to stay. This man and all his fellow followers of islam scare me so much that my health is being affected. I can't sleep or eat properly and I am fearful all the time. I feel like an outcast in my own country. At one of my local shopping centres I am unable to buy meat that is not slaughtered by islamic slaughtermen, where is my choice? If I speak out against islam like followers of mo speak out against our Western Judeo/Christian Democratic values I would be labelled a bigot and more than likely suffer some sort of legal consequence. Who is going to take the blame when the inevitable happens and violence is committed against non muslim Australians? Perhaps we could go after sarah hanson-young and lee rhiannon as they seem to favour the islamic community. As a woman I feel totally betrayed by those who are supposed to defend my freedoms, how dare they put me in the position of having to go out into MY community and see followers of islam and submission to islamic demands every where I go. I feel sick.
I would like to see the government advisors who read this blog (and they almost certainly do) justify why this islamic parasite has not been deported or executed. He is a terrorist, he is speading violent dischord between communities, and he seems to be protected because he is a muslim. Are you gutless bastards so cowardly that you are unable to prosecute muslims thugs because of their threats???
rojhoward says:
My advise to the Australian grandmother is, if you haven't already, to arm yourself- even though gun ownership in your country is regulated almost to the point of being illegal. Get you and yours some heat any way you can!
If the Islamo-appeasing authorities won't enforce the rule of law; you have the right to defend yourself against savages, like the Muhamadens who are plagueing your country and elsewhere. Will suggest a .38 snubnose with a silencer. Find you some woods in the countryside and practice at least once a month, don't brag about being a gun owner, but be prepared to defend yourself.
Suggest this to your kids and grandkids as well…
gsw says:
All that is required is that ALL females stand up and tell these 'muslim-men' (his words), logically, rationally and using common sense that slavery has been abolished in this country and they therefore have no authority AT ALL over adult females.
Any attempts to impose slavery by force must be prosecuted. Women/girls who are in fear of their families must be protected by the law, regardless of culture.
Any man (muslim or otherwise) unable to accept that marriage/relationship does not equal ownership must be taught otherwise.
Yes, loss of citizenship can be used as an incentive, however, loss of money works too.
No doubt about it, these islamic wimps are so insecure and gutless,they can only blame girls for their own inadequacies,mo would be proud of his spawn
Rossco says:
I've seen these muslim 'men' around the place…don't they wear dresses?

Monty Python: John Cleese Quits Cambridge Union Talk Over "Woke Rules"
by Tom Chang
British comedy icon John Cleese has never shied away from controversy throughout his long career. The actor and comedian, who hasn't left full curmudgeon mode for some time, pulled out of an upcoming talk at the Cambridge Union scheduled for November 12 citing concerns over "woke rules" over Hitler impersonations he's done on his two signature series, Monty Python and Fawlty Towers, decades ago.
Byline Festival, Pippingford Park, Nutley, Uckfield, East Sussex, UK – June 2/4 2017 – John Cleese (Raphael Moran / Shutterstock.com)
John Cleese's Impression in Monty Python and Fawlty Towers
A Cambridge alumnus, Cleese responded to a decision by the Union, which is a debating society, to blacklist art historian Andrew Graham-Dixon, who performed a mock impression of Hitler ranting, during a debate last week on art and good taste at the Union. The Union president Keir Bradwell announced the Graham-Dixon ban subsequently afterward. Cleese made the announcement via Twitter. During the Monty Python sketch, the actor played the infamous German dictator under the alias "Mr. Hilter" temporarily taking refuge at a boarding home in a season one episode "The Naked Ant" alongside Graham Chapman and Michael Palin (also playing members of the Third Reich). In Fawlty Towers, it was in S01E06 "The Germans" where Cleese did another impression.
The Oscar nominee is no stranger to defending past work not considered politically correct from his days with the troupe (most famously for the 1979 allegorical satire Monty Python and The Life of Brian, which drew the ire of Catholics upon release, who accused the film of blasphemy. Cleese also opened up about his TERF views and as a cancel culture critic. Currently, the actor and Channel 4 created a documentary called Cancel Me, which explores the phenomenon. Among supporting Cleese is opportunist swine, media personality & Tucker Carlson's left butt-cheek tattoo Piers Morgan tweeting, "Bravo, Mr Cleese. (Words I never thought I'd write, but this is an admirable response to yet more absurd campus cancel culture cr*p.)"
I apologise to anyone at Cambridge who was hoping to talk with me, but perhaps some of you can find a venue where woke rules do not apply

INDIANAPOLIS -- 48 athletes were named to Team USA for the 14th IAAF World Indoor Track & Field Championships to be held Friday-Sunday, March 7-9 in Sopot, Poland.
Team USA features a mix of youth and experience, as teenage phenom Mary Cain is the youngest athlete representing the United States, while 39-year-old Bernard Lagat looks to claim his third-straight 3,000m World Indoor Championships title.
Janay DeLoach Soukup, the 2012 World Indoor silver medalist in the women's long jump, looks to make the medal stand in a different event, the 60-meter hurdles.
Team USA is looking for a repeat performance of 2012, where the United States set the gold medal record with 10 in Istanbul, Turkey. Team USA turned in an 18-medal effort in Turkey, including gold medals from five current members of Team USA (Ashton Eaton, Lagat, Ryan Whiting, women's 4x4 - Natasha Hastings and Jernail Hayes).
A full schedule of events can be found on IAAF.org. The official hashtag for the IAAF World Indoor Track & Field Championships is #Sopot2014. Join the conversation along with USATF on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.


The speed at which we want to fly an ILS in a prop-driven airplane results from several variables, and it will be two speeds: one to fly from the FAF inbound and another to use after transitioning to visual references. There's no upside to coming down the ILS or LPV slowly, down around VY. It ties up traffic and leaves no reserve energy for a missed approach climb. It's usually easy to scrub off that speed when it's time.

Q: shape recognition with Javascript/HTML For a little project it would be nice if I have the possibility to make some shape recognition. It is a Webpage which shows a Visio Diagram. It shall be possible to click on one  of the shapes (only rectangles) and then additional Information shall be shown. To areas of a picture clickable is pretty easy in HTML. But unfortunately there are tons of several diagrams with tons of several shapes. The only method I know to make areas in a picture clickable is with fix pixels. Unfortunately the Visio diagrams change pretty often and so I would need to update the pixels often. Maybe you know any possibility with the known web-languages to recognize the shapes and set the areas in a dynamic way?
So long,
Stefan

Making the decision to quit smoking may be the most important step in the process, but it's definitely not the most challenging.
Anyone looking to quit smoking with the assumption it's going to be easy is in for an unpleasant surprise. In fact, the number one rule for successful smoking cessation is to gauge your expectations realistically. Unless you're prepared for plenty of hard work and unpleasantness along the way, it just isn't going to happen.
First up, while it's perfectly possible to just decide out of the blue you're quitting right now, it's far better to set a date on the calendar and prepare accordingly. Think about how you're going to deal with the cravings, what you'll do to keep yourself busy, any people or scenarios you'll probably have to avoid for the first few weeks and so on. In addition, make sure everyone around you is aware of your intentions and can therefore provide you with their support.
Nicotine addiction can be incredibly difficult to kick. Even with all the willpower in the world, your body will be telling you for some time that you need to give it a hit of nicotine. Which you can – just as long as you do so in the form of NRT products, rather than tobacco. Nicotine replacement therapy can significantly reduce cravings for cigarettes, with none of the potentially deadly side effects of smoking.
There are certain medications on the market right now that have been clinically proven as effective in assisting with smoking cessation. One example being Champix which is available online from website pharmacies like Health Express. Champix whilst being effective also doesn't contain any nicotine or any of the toxins associated with tobacco. Research has shown that these kinds of medications can double your likelihood of successfully quitting the first time.
Particularly if you've tried to quit unsuccessfully in the past, you may benefit significantly from professional support or counselling. Simply speaking to those who know what they're talking about and having an outlet for your anger really can make all the difference. The same can also be said for getting involved in forums and support groups, taking strength from those going through exactly the same as you.
Last but not least, while it's perfectly possible for electronic cigarettes to serve as effective smoking cessation tools, they need to be approached with care. The reason being that using an electric cigarette isn't going to do anything to reduce your addiction to nicotine, or steer you away from the habit of smoking in general. An occasional 'vape' could make a preferable alternative to smoking a cigarette, but it's not to say that electronic cigarettes are in their own right considered safe or healthy.
