MAM Forex trading – what's inside?
"MAM" stands for Multi-Account Manager.
MAM is a feature offered within a trading platform. This feature allows managers, e.g. experienced Forex traders, trade on behalf their clients on multiple accounts.
Forex brokers benefit from offering MAM options to clients, since one manager gathers many clients around him/her, as well as keeps activity on clients' accounts, hence continuous profits for a broker.

Not all Forex investors trade themselves; some prefer hiring a money manager. Money managers trade on behalf their clients through different types of managed accounts: MAM, PAMM and LAMM.
The difference between MAM, PAMM or LAMM lies in how the Profit & Loss is divided among the investor sub-accounts that make up the whole managed account (master account), controlled by a money manager.
If we look for the characteristics of any given account, we talk about Allocation methods; the term "allocation" refers to how the total account is divided by the manager; it could be determined by percentage, by lots, or by other previous agreements.
MAM stands for Multi-Account Manager, and is a software that includes advance charts and analysis tools to help managers with the allocation methods or let them trade each account with different conditions using just one platform.
Managed accounts use software that commonly operates with MT4, MT5, Currenex, Trading Station and other webtrading platforms, and some of them even have connection to better technological solutions to ensure complete functionality.
Money managers will also charge Performance fees for their services (20-30% on average), and these fees will be deducted from the profits earned.
The same logic applies to losses and the amount of margin taken from each account to open each position.
With this allocation method, the profits, as well as the risk, are not proportional to the total funds, and for each sub-account the owner decides how much he wants to risk regardless the percentage of investment made.
I a newbees.however,if not mistaken is igofx don't gave this mam system for investor like us to used it.only the certifite trader was allow to used the system such as V God.So is was not display as above.
May i ask why IGOFX is not listed in the list above?
IC Markets does NOT offer PAMM accounts ,only MAM accounts—their Partners Program let me know earlier today.
Good suggestion! Thank you, we'll work on it.
Some brokers only allow money managers/traders run a PAMM/MAM/LAMM fund with a license. Can you add this to the columns–which brokers require money managers/traders to have a licence to trade PAMM/MAM/LAMM accounts?


One of the great treats we have as grandparents is to have grandchildren stay overnight at our house while the parents get a "break". We have a crib set up in a spare room for such a purpose. Recently, we listened on the baby monitor for Elijah to wake up in the morning. Ginger and I sat in excited anticipation—we love to see the world through the eyes of grandchildren. The little noises started. He was talking to himself in the darkened room; probably wondering in the new surroundings where the heck he was and who put him there.
I opened the door slowly and he jumped to his feet with that adoring smile; he was ready to be rescued and to greet a new day.
For a moment in his awakening, I was also awakened to how dependent these little ones are. They are put in a crib at night with total hope that someone will rescue them in the morning. They HOPE that someone will change their diapers and bath them; feed and clothe them—-to love them. In most of the animal world, the new borns are pretty much fending for themselves in a few days; although they also are blessed with loving parents (especially mothers) who nurture and train them. Still, they become pretty "independent" quickly. For a child, it takes years and years.
I am humbled by the fact that we are allowed to witness the unmatched love of mothers, the dedication of parents toward their children, and the love the children show in return as they become a family together.
In life as a whole, we would do well to take a lesson from a child's dependence and become less independent. We ought to be more willing to accept the offerings of others and not be so head-strong. Often we say "I don't need any help" or "I can handle this", or the classic teenager lines "It's MY life"….. And you fill in the blanks.
In reality, we could all use a hug when we wake up in the morning, someone to take care of us for a while, we DO often need help, and we all need the warmth of family. We could humble ourselves to accept the outreach of others and to reach out to others. Whether we admit it or not, we are dependent on these things. That's my view, as I am taught yet another lesson by an awaiting grandson in the morning hours.
I recently took the opportunity with my wife and friends to visit the original J. Paul Getty Museum in California. What a wonderful gift he created in his charitable efforts. At one time he was the richest man in America, and he gave much of his fortune to collecting and preserving antiquities and art.
I was really impressed with the facilities situated on sixty four acres across the street from the Pacific ocean. But when it came time to connect with ancient Greece and behold all of the statues of antiquity as a docent told imagined stories of their life, my simple mind wandered off to other things. I would find it a hoot to dress up as a docent and tell my own made up stories of antiquity—-but I digress. I found myself texting my children pictures of awe-inspiring statues and making a little fun of them; making up my own stories of antiquity, which was very entertaining to this ADHD mind.
This chick was an eye catcher. At least she had a nose and one eye that wasn't glazed over! I apologize to those who find deep meaning in these things; and I appreciate your passions if this is the case.
Having said that; as I was texting my personal epiphanies to my children; my daughter texted me back with pictures of taking my grandson Elijah on his first hike.
I was really fascinated by the process of discovery. Note the glory of a rock and the curiosity of the child. Note his ah-hah moment as he discovers stones are meant to be thrown in the creek.
And then of course one must retrieve the stone……discovery can have anxious moments.
I mused at this sequence as I looked at carved stones of antiquity with missing noses and other important parts. Life is really all about discovery; and we all find our own passions in finding what we seek. Museums are meant to educate and preserve history—a great form of discovery. Life itself is a discovery as I witnessed in the pictures of Elijah's first hike.
While there is much to learn of history, I prefer "living" discovery and have a passion and appreciation for this. One of the most important aspects of life is DISCOVERY; constantly learning and observing as we both live current history or observe the history of others.
I observed this dude and texted to one of my sons that he was missing something important. He texted back and corrected me. He didn't lose anything he said, he was just holding that which was apparently lost.
Enjoy your own interpretations as you enjoy life's discoveries.


FRAMINGHAM, Mass. – October 3, 2017 – CommCreative, a leading unified marketing agency, today announced the Factory Mark Gallery's newest art exhibit, Look Here, which features the work of artists Allison Gray, Isabel Beavers, and William Van Beckum. Working in a variety of mediums, such as video, photography, appropriation, multimedia installations, sculpture, and paintings, these featured artists harness the power of observation to examine the impact of humans on the climate and environment.
The artists' have committed 10 percent of all proceeds made during the show will be donated directly to The Trustees of Reservations, a non-profit land conservation and historic preservation organization dedicated to preserving natural and historical places in Massachusetts.
In "The Problems and Possibilities of Seeing and Knowing," Gray tracks down fruit that has been endangered due to industrial farming practices. She then creates sculptures by preserving the fruit species in resin. Finally, oil paintings of the preserved fruit are completed from observation. Her work leverages the power of observation to explore ideas about climate change and current environmental issues.
Beavers creates installations using digital animation, drawing, sculpture, and light to visualize scientific concepts and knowledge related to ecological systems. Her work strives to visualize and create a method for understanding recent scientific findings related to known climate change effects, like the melting of sea ice. Beavers utilizes artificial materials to represent real landscape, and uses specific ecosystems as microcosms to study what is happening on a global scale within her art installations.
Van Beckum's newest body of work, "Scenic Kiosks," is an eight-part art installation along the New England Scenic Trail (NET) in both Connecticut and Massachusetts. The installation is made up of kiosks displaying iconic views of the NET through appropriated images that visitors to the trail have posted on Instagram. Each picture is made up of 20 to 50 appropriated images, creating a visualized record of the community's involvement with the trail.
Factory Mark Gallery, located at the CommCreative headquarters in Framingham, Mass., is a private art gallery devoted to displaying the works of emerging and re-emerging local artists. Unlike traditional galleries, Factory Mark does not make a commission and 100 percent of the sales made go directly to the artist to help support their work and ambitions. This model allows artists to be in control of their exhibitions and offer their work to the public at a reasonable price.

George McDonald Church, plus souvent dénommé George Church est un Américain , chimiste, généticien et ingénieur en biologie moléculaire, notamment connu pour un livre Regenesis, co écrit avec Ed Regis, sous titré  qui présente un futur où le génie génétique aurait amélioré la santé humaine et animale, accru notre intelligence, notre mémoire et allongé notre vie.

En 2015, il est professeur de génétique à la Harvard Medical School, et professeur en sciences et technique de la santé pour le programme conjoint Harvard-MIT  et directeur du projet PersonalGenomes.org, une base de données open-data sur la génomique humaine, les traits et l'environnement , Environmental & Trait data (GET) de 2013 à 2015 au sein du Centre pour l'excellence dans les sciences du génome (Center for Excellence in Genomic Science).

Il est aussi l'un des membres fondateurs de l'Institut Wyss  (Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering) pour l'ingénierie bioinspirée à Harvard  et d'un centre de recherche en bio-ingénierie créé en 2009 grâce à un don  par l'homme d'affaires et philanthrope suisse Hansjörg Wyss, pour notamment travailler sur les systèmes biomimétiques, les matériaux intelligent ou avancés et la robotique bio-inspirée ou d'autres sujets connexes ayant une finalité industrielle .

Éléments de biographie
George McDonald Church  dans une base militaire (MacDill Air Force Base) près de Tampa, en Floride. Il grandit près de Clearwater .

De 1968 à 1972, il fréquente l'école secondaire, à l'internat préparatoire de la Phillips Academy, à Andover , dans le Massachusetts. Il  étudie à l'université Duke où il passe un baccalauréat en zoologie et en chimie en deux ans  et où il  rencontre Sung-Hou Kim avec lequel il a commence ses travaux de recherche. Il travaillera également avec Walter Gilbert à l'université Harvard, puis grâce à une bourse post-doctorale avec Gail R. Martin à l'université de Californie (San Francisco), Church entame une carrière de recherche indépendante en tant que professeur adjoint à la Harvard Medical School en 1986.

Carrière scientifique

En 1975, à l'université Duke il utilise la cristallographie aux rayons X pour étudier la structure tridimensionnelle de l'ARN de transfert (qui décode l'ADN et transmet des instructions à d'autres parties de la cellule). C'est pour lui une période d'intense recherche, mais qui lui fait oublier ses obligations d'heures d'enseignement (a l'automne 1975 il passe jusqu'à une centaine d'heures par semaine au laboratoire) » . Ceci le met en difficulté dans l'institution universitaire qui lui retire ses fonctions (en ).

En 1977, ses travaux donnent lieu à des publications, dont l'une comme auteur principal, relative à un premier modèle pour les interactions moléculaires entre le « petit sillon » de l'ADN double brin et certaines protéines (β-ribbons of proteins), article mentionné par David Davies dans la rubrique « Nouvelles et opinions » de la Revue Nature).

En 1977-1984, Church entame une année un doctorat en biochimie et en biologie moléculaire sur la notion d'Élément génétique mobile dans les introns de levure et dans les gènes mitochondriaux de l'immunoglobuline de souris, travail conclu par une thèse publiée en 1984. Il considère avoir lors de ses années de thèse produit la première méthode de séquençage direct du génome, de multiplexage moléculaire et de barcoding moléculaire.

Juste après son doctorat, Church passe 6 mois de l'année 1984 dans le laboratoire industriel de Biogen où le professeur Gilbert accueille une partie importante de son ancien groupe de Harvard . Il obtient ensuite une bourse de recherche postdoctorale de la Life Sciences Research Foundation à l'Université de Californie où avec Gail R. Martin (membre de l'Académie américaine des sciences) avec qui il découvre une technique d'extraction de cellules souches d'embryon de souris.

À la Harvard Medical School où il entre en tant Professeur adjoint  il développe et applique ses connaissances en génétique et est nommé professeur de génétique et membre de la faculté Harvard-MIT Health Sciences and Technology basée à l'IMES (Institute for Medical Engineering and Science) au MIT. Il contribue à créer l'Institut Wyss pour l'ingénierie bioinspirée (à Harvard).

Il obtient un poste de directeur du Centre sur les technologies de la bioénergie à Harvard, financé par une bourse pluriannuelle du Département américain de l'énergie   et du Centre d'excellence en génomique Science (CEGS) de Harvard, de même, financé par une bourse de type P50 de l'Institut national de recherche sur le génome humain (NHGRI), une partie des national Institutes of Health ]

Carrière d'auteur scientifique ou de vulgarisation

Avec d'autres, il soutient aussi l'idée d'utiliser dans un futur proche de l'ADN (molécule très stable une fois repliée sur elle-même) pour stocker de l'information

Controverses et questionnements éthiques
Début 2013, interviewé par le journal Der Spiegel, Church a supposé qu'il est techniquement possible de reconstituer l'ADN d'un homme de Néandertal et de modifier des cellules vivantes humaines en conséquence.
D'autres médias, dont The Daily Mail ont déformé ce propos et fait dire à Church " maintenant, j'ai besoin d'une humaine de sexe féminin aventureuse" après quoi, Church a souligné dans le Boston Herald et Der Spiegel qu'il ne travaillait pas sur un tel projet.

En tant qu'auteur de Regenesis, Church apparait à une partie de ses lecteurs ou détracteurs comme scientiste ou soutenant la ligne transhumaniste ou le post-humanisme, attitudes controversées (Valverde (2016) parle d'une  en montrant qu'on est encore loin de pouvoir et savoir construire avec les briques du vivant ou son code).
 L'idée de la biologie numérique et de la possibilité de faire « renaître » des espèces assez récemment disparues, voire d'en créer d'autres (ce qu'on a commencé à faire avec des chimères transgéniques) fait son chemin, suscitant même parfois un espoir de  (avec par exemple l'idée de réintroduire le Mammouth dans le Parc du Pléistocène en Sibérie de l'Est) (Stewart Brand a intitulé un TED Talk "The Dawn of De-extinction. Are you Ready? " (Aube d'une dé-extinction, Êtes-vous-prêt ?), mais outre qu'elle nécessite d'abord de récolter un ADN intact (de mâle et de femelle) et des mères porteuses génétiquement proches de l'espèce disparue, recréer quelques clones ou individus différents ne compenserait pas la perte de diversité génétique associée. Church laisse cependant imaginer que l'on puisse dans un futur hypothétique plus ou moins proche en quelque sorte imprimer en 3D une grande variété d'ADN via une interface automatisée de traduction. Enfin, il n'est pas certain selon Peers et ses collègues (2016) qu'une espèce recréée puisse facilement se réinsérer dans les écosystèmes contemporains où les microbes, la Nature et le climat ont déjà beaucoup changé. Il pourrait même exister des risques pour les autres espèces, qu'on ne peut à ce jour anticiper.
 La notion d'artéfact biologique telle que développée par l'éthicien allemand Johannes Achatz en  (tels que des cellules ou organismes vivant en partie ou en totalité synthétiques) pose des questions éthiques, de bioéthique et d'appropriation du vivant, questions complexes et en partie nouvelles. Nous allons faire face - ajoute M Müller (de l'Université Humboldt de Berlin) en 2016 - aux premières espèces (éventuellement brevetées) dont les parents géniteurs seront un programme d'ordinateur et une machine à synthétiser de l'ADN. J Caputi s'interroge sur les promesses biotechnologiques et les ambiguïtés sous-jacentes à la biologie digitale. Il y voit la possibilité d'une sorte de choc non plus des civilisations mais entre la Mère nature et un anthropocène qui se dote du pouvoir de créer de la vie artificielle et des machines vivantes ('Living machines') pouvant remplacer la nature et l'évolution et être mises au service d'objectifs humains. D'autres interrogent l'économie morale associée à la biologie synthétique telle que présentée par Church (ou d'autres).
 Church défend les pratiques d'éducation ouverte, de sciences participatives et de science citoyenne mais souvent de manière orientée vers le domaine du génie génétique ; il a notamment plaidé pour un accès ouvert aux données issues du séquençage du génome et des données médicales humaines partageables, y compris en ligne. Müller (2016) note que des voix issues de la biologie synthétique réclament d'audacieux scénarios socio-techniques, des objets imaginaires, et de futures expériences biotechniques qu'ils placent non plus derrière les portes de laboratoires mais dans la société même ; selon lui les biologistes synthétiques se voient en .

Researchers say they have discovered a gene mutation that slows the metabolism of sugar in the gut, giving people who have the mutation a distinct advantage over those who do not. Those with the mutation have a lower risk of diabetes, obesity, heart failure, and even death.
Researchers say they have discovered a gene mutation that slows the metabolism of sugar in the gut, giving people who have the mutation a distinct advantage over those who do not. Those with the mutation have a lower risk of diabetes, obesity, heart failure, and even death. The researchers say their finding could provide the basis for drug therapies that could mimic the workings of this gene mutation, offering a potential benefit for the millions of people who suffer with diabetes, heart disease, and obesity.
The study, which is largely supported by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), part of the National Institutes of Health, appears in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
"We're excited about this study because it helps clarify the link between what we eat, what we absorb, and our risk for disease. Knowing this opens the door to improved therapies for cardiometabolic disease," said Scott D. Solomon, M.D., a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and a senior physician at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, who led the research. He explained that the study is the first to fully evaluate the link between mutations in the gene mainly responsible for absorbing glucose in the gut — SGLT-1, or sodium glucose co-transporter-1 — and cardiometabolic disease.
People who have the natural gene mutation appear to have an advantage when it comes to diet, Solomon noted. Those who eat a high-carbohydrate diet and have this mutation will absorb less glucose than those without the mutation. A high-carbohydrate diet includes such foods as pasta, breads, cookies, and sugar-sweetened beverages.
In the study, the researchers analyzed the relationship between SGLT-1 mutations and cardiometabolic disease using genetic data obtained from 8,478 participants in the Atherosclerosis Risk In Communities (ARIC) study. The study was a 25-year-long observational trial of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular risk factors in people living in four U.S. communities.

Real manhood: Black & white, not Fifty Shades of Grey
This is the final post in a three-part series about "What's a real man do with Fifty Shades?" The second post, "Man up to Christian Grey and Fifty Shades," offered ideas about what you can do to reflect real manhood: Be a man of integrity, love your wife unconditionally, and show your daughters their strength. This post picks up that list with four more suggestions.
4. Raise men of honor.
The way a young man treats a young woman tells her what he thinks of her, and even feeds into how she thinks of herself. We need to remind our sons to value young ladies like we value their mom and treat them with the same honor and deference. The same axiom I mentioned earlier works in reverse: "Be a gentleman; get a lady."
We also need to remind sons that they need to take responsibility for the self-discipline of the relationship. Just because of how we're designed, we men are more likely to be the pursuers in a relationship. We will advance as far as we are allowed, and even push the boundaries to find out how solid they are.
As dads, we endeavor to raise our sons to be men of honor and integrity. And our desire is that they date young women with high moral standards as well. But we know that, as romance and hormones blossom, the tendency is for those physical boundaries to get mushy. In generations past, a young woman might put on the brakes if the passion got too high. Today, though, young women are just as likely as young men to be the aggressors.
We need to remind our sons (and the guys who date our daughters) to not let the passion rise to those hard-to-stop points, even if their dates seem to be giving the go-ahead. When things have settled down, she's likely to appreciate him taking the leadership, and more trusting that he's watching out for her.
5. Warn the women in your life about pornography.
At one time, porn use among married men wasn't something "polite" women brought up. In recent years, women have bravely begun to speak up about how it hurts them and makes them feel inferior to the sex objects on the pages of magazines and computers. But at the same time, strangely, pornography has become more accepted among women.
Men who have battled porn addiction should be the first to speak up to warn and protect women. We know firsthand how pornography lures us with the promise of sexual fulfillment and release, but it eventually dominates our thinking. Advances in neuroscience have confirmed what we already knew from experience: the more we give ourselves to porn, the more our brains are trained to want more of it, more often, and more graphic. Eventually, we're more drawn to the instant fulfillment of a sexual fantasy than to work through a real relationship with a real woman.
The same thing is beginning to happen to women. Many are becoming obsessed with pornography and erotica and the fulfillment it offers. They become trapped in a world of fantasy where they attempt to meet emotional and sexual needs with a fantasy man. They may not be as attracted as much to the visual stimulation as men are, but they do notice the beautiful, sexy women in porn and imagine those women as themselves, the objects of desire.
With the power of the smartphone, young women have discovered they have the ability to create their own porn in the form of nude selfies and videos. They do it to connect to a love interest or to get noticed. With all the increase in women's use of porn, the bottom line is that they seem to be willing to put up with objectification and debasement in order to find a way to be desired and fulfilled.
6. Be open with your wife about romance and intimacy.
Many married women defending the book often say it has improved their sex life. Certainly a film like Fifty Shades that blends heavy doses of romance and flesh can't help but awaken many women's sexual desires. It's the same reasoning a man might give for watching pornography with his wife—to jump-start their sex life. But that's trying to create a reality based on fantasy.
There is a much healthier way to jump-start romance and intimacy in your marriage. It's called communication. Open, honest conversations about intimacy and sexual fulfillment keep romance and passion alive through years of marriage.
Talk honestly about how each of you assess your love life, frequency, likes, dislikes and wishes. Maybe you can start with some simple questions that you answer together.
On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate our intimacy?
What things that I do make you feel most wanted and fulfilled?
What would you change about our love life?
God has designed marriage as the place to enjoy a lifetime of intimacy between "the wife of your youth" and her "beloved" (Proverbs 5:18-19; Ecclesiastes 9:9; Song of Solomon 7:6-10). Talk and explore together how to get out of the intimacy rut and together create a more fulfilling sex life. Not sure what's okay and what's not (especially in light of all the junk passed off in Fifty Shades of Grey)? Here are some helpful guidelines borrowed from Marriage Today:
Is it forbidden in Scripture?
Does it violate your conscience?
Does it violate your wife, or is it against her conscience or will?
Is it physically safe or might it cause health risks?
Does it treat your wife in a disrespectful way or damage your relationship?
7. Understand submission God's way.
What is presented in Fifty Shades of Grey is being called submission, but it's actually subjugation. Subjugation is defined as "defeating or gaining control of a person for their obedience." Submission is when a person voluntarily places themselves under the authority and guidance of another.
The Bible teaches women to submit to the God-given leadership of their husbands in the same way that Christ submitted to the will of God the Father. But here's a reminder, guys: God doesn't command a husband to remind his wife to submit. Instead He calls the husband to unconditionally love his wife as Christ loved the church and gave his entire life for her. Subjugation is the furthest thing from God's design in the marriage relationship. Our wives are His gift to us as our completers, and we are God's gift to them as shields of protection.
Out of reverence to Christ, both husband and wife are to put their personal desires aside to serve each other (Ephesians 5:21). That brings out the best in a man and a woman. It brings us together in mutual trust and fulfills the deepest longings of our souls.
When you rely on God's word to guide you on how a man should treat a woman, it's easier to see black and white. Thankfully, a real Christian doesn't have to muddle through fifty shades of grey.

The Song: A film for the restless man
"There is nothing new under the sun."
As we men strive to find meaning and purpose and to make meaningful connections in our fast-paced, consumer-driven, anything-goes culture, the words of Solomon ring truer now than ever.
"I have seen everything done under the sun. All of it is meaningless, a chasing after wind."
Three years ago Richard Ramsey and City On a Hill Studio set out to make a film that would speak to modern-day audiences through Solomon's lifelong quest for real love and true meaning. The writer and director wanted a theater-worthy film that believers and the unchurched alike would want to see and talk about. As Ramsey says, it is a film for the restless man.
The script and directing are remarkably intentional, making use of biblical allusion, symbolism, parallels and imagery to bring the life and teachings of Solomon into today's realities. The story line follows Solomon's relentless search for meaning through wisdom, pleasure, and power, only to find that the elusive answers are not distant, but as close to home as the heart.
The Song, which debuts on September 26 in theaters across the country, uses narratives from the Song of Solomon, Ecclesiastes and Proverbs, masterfully woven into the tapestry of a modern-day story of love, marriage, and meaning. The movie follows the career of Jed King (played by relative newcomer Alan Powell), a struggling musician who's blessed and cursed to be the son of beloved country music star, David King (yes, the symbolism starts early in the film and poignantly shadows the plot throughout).
The first five minutes show the rise and fall, redemption and untimely death of his father in a gritty sequence that is foreign to many faith-based films. While not graphic, the sequence (which parallels the failures of King David) lays the legacy for Jed King and offers a foreshadowing of difficulties to come as he follows in his father's footsteps.
Jed believes he's meant to be a singer, not just because of his father's legacy but also because it's a gift and mission given to him by God. Struggling to find a breakthrough after being cut from his record label, Jed takes a gig at a local hometown festival where he meets Rose (Ali Faulkner, another relative newcomer).
The two fall in love and marry (no, that's not a spoiler, because you know the Song of Solomon) and begin their George-and-Mary-Bailey wonderful life. But as with all marriages, the infatuation gives way to distance as the two are pushed away by the busyness of parenthood, extended family, career, and the ever-present search for self-fulfillment. As their emotional and physical distance grows, Jed becomes frustrated and begins searching for fulfillment outside the home in the most obvious place—his music career.
Solomon's woman of Proverbs 7-9 makes her appearance in the form of Jed's opening act, fiddle player Shelby Bale (played by Caitlin Nichol-Thomas in her movie debut). Shelby is there when Rose is not, and his heart is further pulled away from home.
Throughout the movie, the dialogue is punctuated by Jed's narration, directly from Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, and Proverbs. We follow the story through the bliss of Solomon and his love, and through the search for meaning and pleasure. Each promise of fulfillment ends up empty and takes Jed on his journey further and further from home and his first love.
The Song contains the most extensive use of Scripture of any film I've seen except for Jesus, which uses only Scripture. Yet it is far from preachy because it's Jed own words, narrating his own story of love, loss and futility, a story that ultimately finds redemption and purpose.
This movie will not be the "feel good" movie of the fall season. Ramsey, in his writing and directing, intentionally leads the viewer through the messiness of life and the soul-searching of Solomon. It is heavy and frequently dark, but it needs to be. The man watching this movie needs to feel the weight of foolish, short-sighted decisions.
As a film centered on music, the songs are significant elements in revealing the characters, their struggles, and values. Powell and Nichol-Thomas perform their own songs quite capably. In fact, Powell is a member of the Christian vocal group, Anthem Lights, and Nichol-Thomas is a professional fiddler. One song that won't be new to moviegoers is The Byrds' 1965 classic, "Turn! Turn! Turn!" This musical rendering of Ecclesiastes 3 is a favorite of Rose, and plays a prominent part later in the movie.
Although the film ends on a happier note, the heaviness remains with you through the final credits, which is appropriate. Choices have consequences, and foolish choices leave a heart-wrenching aftermath, particularly when it comes to the closest human relationship—marriage. The Song is a cautionary tale for couples. Between the pace of life, the lures of our culture, and the deceitfulness of the human heart, marriage relationships naturally grow apart unless you're intentionally moving toward oneness.
A selfish act, an unkind word, a bitterness unresolved have caustic results. But authentic love also carries the power of forgiveness and redemption. It is the very thing that has the power to draw someone from the depths of despair to a life that's truly meaningful.
In an unplanned, deeply personal message to a concert audience, Jed voices this realization:
"You know, when you're always under bright lights, you can't see the stars. You forget things. You forget that somebody put the stars there, and that they love you enough to die for you. And it's that kind of love that makes songs worth singing and life worth living. I had that kind of love and I threw it away. Because I am a fool. I'm sorry."
Jed was referring to Rose, but what he says applies equally to our relationship to a loving Father, who gave His Son on our behalf. The Apostle Paul (who may be Solomon's wise New Testament counterpart) reminds us that in the midst of our rebellion, it's God's kindness and patience that bring us to repentance (Romans 2:4). He also reminds us that when we're most unlovable, God's love reaches out to us (Romans 5:8), whether it's for salvation or forgiveness.
The marriage relationship is the optimal environment where we can show the undeserved, unconditional love of Christ. It's probably the hardest place as well. Who knows us better than our spouses? Who can put together the longest laundry list of offenses? On the other hand, who have we let closer to our hearts to see the beautiful and honorable, the vulnerable and needy? Besides God, who better knows the depth of our need for grace and companionship?
And that is the dual message of The Song. As Solomon draws his conclusions in Ecclesiastes:
Enjoy life with the wife whom you love, all the days of your vain life that he has given you under the sun, because that is your portion in life and in your toil at which you toil under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 9:9)
The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil. (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14)
That's a message everyone needs to hear.

Gait Analysis is a scientifically-based and technically-precise process. It is highly individualized, and reveals a lot about how you will hold up to training and, ultimately, perform. It is used to assess, plan, and treat individuals with conditions affecting their ability to walk. It is also commonly used in sports biomechanics to help athletes run more efficiently and to identify posture-related or movement-related problems in people with injuries. Gait Analysis is modulated or modified by many factors, and changes in the normal gait pattern can be transient or permanent.

Create a logo that embodies your brand & communicates your story
Share Post Now
GlobalLinker Staff
13 Aug 2020, 12:28 — 4 min read
A company's brand is one of the most important assets when it comes to distinguishing it from competition and standing tall in a crowded market place. Logos are an integral component of the brand of an enterprise. They are the emblems of a company that embody the name and other important elements of the business. As the company's major graphical representation, a logo anchors a company's brand and becomes the single most visible manifestation of the company within the target market. The giant arches of the letter "M" are synonymous with the popular fast-food chain McDonalds and an apple with a bite taken out of is instantly recognizable as the technology giant – Apple. This type of immediate recognition is the hallmark of a great logo.
A logo must essentially communicate the unique story of the company and brand. Good logos are the reflection of the company's image and must have the necessary qualities and appealing graphics incorporated into their design for them to generate business. Simple logo features like text style, font, colour and graphics play a major role in determining a company's image.
Here are some qualities that a good logo must embody:
Represent the company's identity
Customised logos are the embodiment of the company's identity. They are a visual representation of a company's nature, quality, attitude, and character. They give the business credibility and establish immediate recognition for the company. There are various examples of clever customised logos that have made companies and their products famous. It is vital for a company to have a logo that sets itself apart and that which does not look like the competition.
Engaging & visually appealing
Credible logos have the power to persuade. Customised logos project the image of the company in the market. If the image projected is engaging, it draws customers. For instance, the Apple logo represents the "forbidden fruit" from the "Tree of Knowledge" and has a biblical reference. Apple as a brand is synonymous with design excellence and the logo aptly conveys the same. The logo is a creative and clever representation of the high brand quality and the company's enduring commitment to innovation.
The success of a logo is often determined by its scalability. To get the maximum mileage out of a logo it should be useable in various sizes and in multiple media. A good example is how the Nike "swoosh" logo can be found on a variety of items that include exercise wear, shoes, and clothes.
Effective use of colour
The effective use of colour is a common factor in most well-known brand logos. Some of the most memorable brands (like Nike, Adidas and Lacoste) have generated huge sales largely based on the strength of their logos. These logos consist of simple, solid primary colours like red, blue, green and white. It is imperative to use colour in a logo, in a way that enhances brand value and recognition.
Most importantly, a company logo must be original. It must be equipped with a registered trademark and should directly reflect the uniqueness and brand value of the company.
Created by an expert
Since logos are such a critical element in defining a company's identity, one must employ the services of an expert to create a customised logo. SME Design Services is the ultimate solution for your logo and other corporate design requirements. Our designs are innovative, contemporary and elegant. We pride ourselves on delivering designs that are tailored to the requirements of our clients and partners.
A well-designed logo is considered the cornerstone of a company's branding and advertising strategy. A good logo should be "immortal" and able to stand the test of time as the enduring symbol of the company's identity.

Free Allies by William Shawcross Essay Sample
In March 2003 the United States, England, and their coalition allies took massive perils in attacking Iraq. They jeopardized one of the most thriving coalitions in history. They jeopardized both the United Nations and themselves. And they periled forming a new marsh in which terrorists could breed and prosper. Allies by William Shawcross is an investigation of the risks taken in Iraq, the motive for them and the ways in which the confrontation posed by Iraq was different from anything faced by the post-war Western accord. Perhaps for that rationale, the choice to go to war in Iraq endangered, and to some level still intimidates, to obliterate that accord.
William Shawcross, a notable foreign writer with an unrivalled viewpoint on international associations, shows why the United States had to take the path; why Britain-and many other countries pursued; and why Franco-German fabrication and hindrance had to be brushed aside. Without reducing the realism of the continuing risks or rejecting that blunders were made along this most tricky of journeys, Shawcross disputes fervently that going to war in Iraq was the correct thing to do.
William Shawcross first came to fame with Sideshow, a buzzing denunciation of Henry Kissinger and Richard Nixon's measures in Cambodia. This time he vigorously supports the armed forces actions of the United States administration as it attacks Iraq and overthrows the government of Saddam Hussein. Preventive war is not the uncharacteristic approach that some of George W. Bush's detractors might propose but rather an essential plan in dealing with perilous dictators. Shawcross tramples calmly on the argument over the reality of WMD (weapons of mass destruction) and the anxious setting of post-Saddam Iraq while telling at length the human rights offenses committed by Saddam Hussain and his sons Qusay and Uday to make the point that that the war was necessary. France and Germany are cast here as ungrateful opportunists for their antagonism to Bush. Jacques Chirac, in particular, is on the receiving end of much hostility by Shawcross who never lets pass an opportunity to mention nicknames like "The Crook" or "Super Menteur" to illustrate the president of France. Strangely, given the book's title and cover photograph of United States President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair, there is slight inside information on the bond between the two men and the American and British decision makers that hasn't been well recorded in conventional news channels reporting of the war. This inconsequentiality widens to the rest of Allies as well.
I wished for some ground-breaking examination or radical study but Shawcross frequently just presents his view: that Saddam was treacherous, the Americans were correct to eliminate him, and that the UN and much of Europe were incorrect to object. Another dilemma with Allies is how fluid the condition in Iraq was as the book went to press. As a consequence, Shawcross's examination runs the possibility of being obsolete and inappropriate within a moderately short period of time. Allies is a swift read and Shawcross is a very good writer but one desires that he could have given more profundity to such a complex situation.

While many believe marijuana to be a harmless drug, marijuana addiction can lead to long-term effects to mental and physical health. Marijuana addiction treatment can aid individuals in quitting use of the drug, offer support in recovery, and foster a sober lifestyle.
While many perceive marijuana as a harmless drug which doesn't lead to addiction, decades of research shows that individuals can and do form addictions to marijuana.
Marijuana abuse does not receive the same attention as more potent illicit drugs, such as cocaine or heroin, but the drug can still be addicting and have damaging, long-lasting effects on one's health.
Treatment for marijuana addiction and abuse helps a person break free from the mental reliance on the drug, break destructive thought patterns which lead to addictive behaviors, and seek support to remain marijuana-free.
What Is Marijuana And How Is It Abused?
Marijuana refers to dried leaves, flowers, and stems from cannabis-based plants which contain THC and other mind-altering chemicals. The drug is illegal for recreational use in most U.S. states, though now legal in some states with strict regulations.
Marijuana and its chemically derived components (i.e. CBD oil) are approved for medical use in the U.S. as well.
When people abuse marijuana or use it for non-medical use, it is smoked in a cigarette-like form, in pipes, or in water bongs. The leaves may also be baked into solid foods ("edibles"), smoked within vaporizers, or taken orally in liquid extracts.
How Does Marijuana Abuse Lead To Addiction?
Marijuana is not considered a highly addictive drug. However, the National Institute on Drug Abuse reports that repeated use of marijuana can lead to problem use, or marijuana use disorder.
If a person does not quit use, this problem use can develop into addiction. Marijuana addiction leads to continued use despite any negative consequences, a mental reliance on the drug, and experiencing withdrawal symptoms when not using it.
Marijuana works in the brain by affecting brain receptors that would normally react to THC-like chemicals. Stimulating this part of the brain, marijuana causes these cells to overactivate and produce the high people feel when using the drug.
The brain responds positively to this effect, which is why many continue to abuse the drug. With repeated use, a person's brain may stop activating these receptors without the use of marijuana.
This dependence is known as a marijuana addiction and may be difficult to stop without proper treatment.
A person may be unaware they have an addiction to marijuana. Many abuse the drug for years without realizing their dependence on it.
As marijuana becomes adopted by more and more states for recreational use, it becomes increasingly difficult to identify signs of abuse and addiction.
Why Do People Abuse Marijuana?
People may abuse marijuana for a number of reasons. First, marijuana alters a person's perception, making time periods seem longer and even colors may seem brighter.
At first, marijuana may improve a person's mood, an effect which can alone be responsible for continued use of the drug.
Many who use marijuana report both euphoria (increased happiness) and a sense of calm, meaning marijuana has reactions that both stimulate and depress the central nervous system.
Finally, people may also abuse marijuana in combination with other drugs, such as alcohol, in order to amplify the effects of this drug. However, mixing marijuana with other drugs can have damaging effects long-term.
Most short-term side effects of marijuana abuse are perceived as harmless. However, lasting side effects can result from repeated use due to marijuana addiction, some of which can greatly impact a person's health.
Marijuana can have a wide range of long-term health risks, particularly depending on the way marijuana is abused.
There are no documented fatal overdose cases for marijuana alone. In other words, those who overdosed while using marijuana were also abusing another, more potent drug.
However, in recent decades, there have been an increasing number of emergency room visits due to high doses of marijuana use, especially for those abusing marijuana edibles.
These tend to have higher THC levels and can result in temporary psychosis, hallucinations, and other psychologically damaging symptoms. Psychosis can also lead a person to engage in violent or unpredictable behavior if treatment is not sought.
While a psychotic reaction is most commonly seen after a person consumes marijuana edibles, this reaction can occur with any use of marijuana. Some children have become seriously ill and in need of emergency treatment after consuming accessible marijuana edibles.
Marijuana addiction, while not as harmful as addictions to other illicit drugs, can have lasting effects to a person's health and lifestyle, including increase of risks such as heart attack or stroke.
Treatment programs for marijuana abuse and addiction work to implement behavioral changes so a person can quit use of marijuana, address cravings and other withdrawal symptoms, and support a substance-free lifestyle.
What Happens In A Marijuana Addiction Treatment Program?
Marijuana addiction treatment may begin with detoxification, ridding the body of the substance so a person's mind is clear and receptive to treatment.
After this, a person will usually enter a rehab program for marijuana abuse. While there are many types of rehab programs, some of the most effective are those that are intensive in nature. These include residential rehab programs and intensive outpatient programs.
Within these rehab programs, individuals can receive integrated care which works to address all levels of health affected by addiction: mental, emotional, behavioral, and physical. Therapy, counseling, and support all play a role in treating marijuana addiction.
The very best programs for treating marijuana addiction will be individualized to a person's needs, treating any co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders.
Not everyone abusing marijuana will develop an addiction to it, and some who have a marijuana addiction may have a difficult time recognizing it or seeking help.
For those who are ready to seek treatment and live free from marijuana abuse, help is within reach. Contact a treatment specialist today to find a marijuana use disorder program that works for you.

10 Dramatic Videos Of Euromaidan
Key Witness in Markiv Case Was Clueless About Donbas War - Journalist
EBRD's Sergei Guriev on Zelenskyy's Presidency and Upcoming Elections
Four years ago, on November 21, after the Ukrainian government suspended preparations for signing an Association Agreement with the European Union, the public rose up to protest. What started as a peaceful protest in favor of European integration turned into one of the most unprecedented revolutions in Ukraine's history, known today as the Revolution of Dignity.
Hromadske gathered together its exclusive videos to commemorate the revolution.
1. On the evening of November 21, 2013, journalist (and now Ukrainian parliamentarian) Mustafa Nayyem used Facebook to call on people to come to the Maidan and protest. This was the start of the revolution.
2. The violent dispersal of peaceful student protesters on Maidan Square on November 30, 2013, enraged the public, which began to actively gather for protests against the President Viktor Yanukovych's regime.
3. On December 1, the protests turned into a massive gathering in the city center. The rally turned into a revolution.
4. This is what a typical day of peaceful protest looked like on December 8, 2013: the pro-Maidan rally, the anti-Maidan rally, and the fall of the statue of Lenin.
5. As the protests dragged on, participants set up camp along Kyiv's central avenue to shelter themselves from the harsh Ukrainian winter weather. This Hromadske video shows a confrontation between protesters and police in the center of Kyiv near protest encampments.
6. Protesters barricaded the center of Kyiv to ward off any advancing police activity. On December 11, 2013, Interior Ministry troops began an attack in order to "beautify the area," dismantle the barricades and disperse the protesters. The attack was only semi-successful: the troops broke through some of the barricades and eventually managed to gain some ground into the Maidan protest camp, but they failed to break into the occupied Kyiv City Hall and the Trade Unions Building. The protest continued for several months after this.
7. In January 2014, the first killings occurred during a protest against the so-called "Dictatorial Laws" restricting public protest passed by the Ukrainian Parliament. Protesters Serhiy Nigoyan and Mikhail Zhyznewski were shot dead by police during this protest rally. They were the first deaths of the Maidan Revolution.
8. During Ukraine's EuroMaidan protests, a piano was set up near a line of Berkut, a regiment of police special forces. While protesters played the piano, police blasted back their own recorded music. The atmosphere between the two groups was tense.
9. February 18-20, 2014, are known as the bloodiest days of the Maidan protest. Over the course of three days, 73 civilians and 11 law enforcement officers were killed during clashes between police and protesters in Kyiv's city center. Police forces stand accused of illegally bearing arms against civilians protesting President Viktor Yanukovych, whose draconian anti-protest laws further agitated the confrontation. The protesters who were killed during Euromaidan are referred to as the "Nebesna Sotnia" (Heavenly Hundred).
10. Hromadske interviewed many friends and family members of protesters who were killed during the Maidan protests. Volodymyr Bondarchuk spoke with Hromadske about his father, Serhiy, a physics teacher from western Ukraine who traveled to Kyiv to join the EuroMaidan demonstrations.

Today I launched my new Ghostbusters centric website ectocrank.com. It celebrates my 25+ year love affair with all things Ghostbusters. Its fairy sparse in terms of content right now but eventually it'll be filled to the brim with news, artwork and a ton of free downloads. I'm launching it today because on this day back in 1989 Ghostbusters II (aka my all-time favourite movie) was released.
Oh yeah, I also dropped the Volume II of my Ghostbusters Mixtape today, so if you dig Volume I def give it a listen.

Discovering that the ultimate health of scalp and hair is committed to aging care, uka started head therapy back in 2003 at their salons located in central Tokyo. uka Head Therapy Series is now finally complete, built upon the combined experience and opinions of the products with all kinds of complaints from customers on their scalps and hair. This hair care line is dedicated with uka's hope—for you to always have a healthy scalp and stunning hair as if you just walked out of a salon.
Brush dry hair from hairline towards the hair's whorl to lift up and stimulate the scalp. Thoroughly wet the scalp and all the hair, then rinse out any grime, sweat, or scalp grease. Apply uka Scalp Cleansing Deep&Light gradually over the entire head, moving from hairline toward the top of your head. After applying the cleanser, massage just the scalp with the balls of your fingers, then wash out. Please use it only on the scalp —it creates a rich foam that may seduce you to wash the hair, but don't as it can cause coarseness. Then take shampoo equivalent to the size of a blackberry (for short to medium hair) or a strawberry (for medium-to-long hair), and work this into a foam in the palm of your hand. Apply the foam to your hair, gently massaging it in. Then leave foam on the hair for two minutes. This will nourish your hair with amino acids to replace those lost from the hair. Last but not least, apply a small amount of treatment over your entire hair. Next, apply additional treatment starting from the mid-section to the ends, concentrating on the stranded areas, while gradually twisting the hair toward the ends in order to close opened cuticles. Leaving it in your hair for 3-5 minutes will increase the moisrutizing effect. Under the heat of the dryer, gamma-docosalactone thermally reacts with amino acids to create strength, resilience, and shine.
A set of three products from uka Head Therapy Series is perfect for travel or gym!
A set of three products from uka Head Therapy Series: uka Scalp Cleansing Deep & Light is designed with an extremely fine foam to wash away the excess scalp grease, and its formula contains high quality plant-derived amino acids as its cleansing agent.
Nighty night series is specially formulated for dry, frizzy hair and leaves it shiny, glossy and moisturized. It contains amino acids and argan oil to wash hair gently while suppressing frizziness and adding deep moisture. Main component of sandalwood conveys rich and romantically appealing woody notes, and a touch of elegance added by natural damask rose water. It is a scent that recalls a tranquil night that hugs you gently with clemency.

Question and Answer about "Life Chiropractic College West"


The deputy director of the Northwest Oregon Housing Authority has sued the agency.
A top administrator for the Northwest Oregon Housing Authority who was put on administrative leave last spring is suing the organization and its executive director.
In a lawsuit filed on Monday, Teresa Sims, the deputy director, alleges that she has faced retaliation from Todd Johnston and the housing authority for speaking out about mismanaged public funds and unlawful hiring practices.
Sims is seeking nearly $1 million in emotional and economic damages.
In May, Sims was placed on paid leave while the housing authority investigated whether she falsified records to allow her son and fellow employee, Benjamin Natividad, to receive public housing assistance while he was renting from his uncle.
Sims was placed on leave around the same time her accusations against Johnston came to light.
Krista Le Roux, a Portland attorney representing Sims, said her client's primary motivation is to restore her reputation. Filing a lawsuit was also done in part to urge the housing authority to finish its investigation, which has spanned almost nine months.
"She wants to clear her name, and it seems the only way to do this is through a lawsuit," Le Roux said.
Johnston declined to comment on the lawsuit, but noted that many of the allegations were similar to other complaints Sims has filed with the housing authority and the state Bureau of Labor and Industries.
Investigators hired by the housing authority and the state Bureau of Labor and Industries dismissed the complaints.
The agency's investigators refuted claims that Johnston promoted an employee who wasn't qualified for the position, obscured information or that Johnston and Helping Hands, a nonprofit that works with the homeless, mismanaged public funds.
A separate investigation into complaints lodged against Sims by housing authority staff is ongoing, but is expected to wrap up by March, Johnston said.
Le Roux said it did not concern her that similar allegations have been dismissed by other investigators, and believes taking Sims complaints through the court system will help facilitate a broader investigation.
"I feel certain I'll be able to unearth more evidence that will be helpful to my client," she said.

INSPECTOR KATE MARTINELLI has worked the SFPD's Homicide Detail for nearly thirty years. She knows all about how a cop builds a case, bit by bit, to create a clear story from the scattered pieces of evidence.
Until the day her fifteen-year-old daughter, Nora, happens to ask about an aunt she'd never met. Kate's kid sister died in the 1980s, a wild young woman who lost control of a car and hit a tree, end of story… except it isn't. Because once Kate begins to look, seeking to reassure Nora that it was only a senseless accident and not the suicide a small town's gossip made it, she starts to find pieces that don't fit the picture. Holes in the evidence. Mismatched fragments that change the story Kate has told herself all these years—the story that for her, was the beginning of everything.
What did happen in Diamond Lake that night? Was it an accident, or a hushed-up suicide? Or was her sister's death something darker yet?
