The biggest change I had to make recently is that I started to watch the 1h and 5m charts for taking intraday positions. (1h for trend, 5m for entry/exit tactics) The reason for this is that due to my job I cannot limit my screen time since I'm in front of my trading screens more than 10 hours a day.
I know it sounds like failure at patience but I had to accept the fact that I need to keep myself entertained in order to endure the provocation of the charts.
Another change is that I reduce the number of pairs that I'm monitoring to EUR/USD, EUR/CHF and EUR/GBP. It doesn't mean that I would not take a position in GBP/USD or USD/CHF if I see a good signal.
I put up Keltner channels on the trend charts for trend filter. I still aim to use as few indicators as possible. Keltner channels are constructed by a central line (typically an EMA) and upper and lower bands are that are drawn at an equal distance defined as a specified multiple of the ATR. I use EMA20 for the central line and 1 x ATR(10) to calculate the bands. I will not use KC to generate buy/sell signal just seeking visual feedback that the underlying trend is valid.

Difficult times in Portugal
Portugal's neighbour Spain has gained considerable international exposure and its cinema and is well known worldwide. Names such as Pedro Almodovar and Luis Buñuel amongst others are immediately recognised. But Portuguese cinema is regarded to be of minor importance internationally, and Portuguese movies have so far had limited international exposure, apart from at festival screenings.
Unlike the Spanish industry, that manages to distribute productions internationally with great results, Portugal has never had the capacity to succeed in the same way. The Portuguese have never had a nomination for an Oscar in any category – ever.
These poor results, of course, derive from the lack of investment in Portuguese cinema. Not only does it lack state funding, but also private investment. Some tentative moves have been made, but none has so far ended on solid ground. This situation is also due the critically reduced number of spectators going to watch movies: at the moment less than one percent of the total Portuguese cinema audience. So there is no business in the industry for distributors and producers to be interested in investing in cinema.
The only source of film finance comes from the National Film Institute, which supports eight films per year to the tune of €600 000 Euros each. This is the maximum for a major production, and is away too low to produce a high quality feature. The majority of films are author genre type productions, attracting only a very limited audience. The mainstream audience therefore seems to have little interest in Portuguese films.
There have been some exceptions recently from the private sector. Digital has reduced the cost of production considerably and there are some investments, mainly in the comedy area to attract audiences, but this does not move the Portuguese film industry forward. Even though it is good that there is strong will from at least a few to try to make cinema into a business.
The industry both reveals and reacts to the lack of interest by the Portuguese public, who have not got the habit of watching their own stories on the big screen, but rather prefer watching foreign films with subtitles. It seems that the audience have gained aversion to listening and prefer to read. There are some filmmakers who consider that Portugal has made a mistake by adopting the subtitling instead of dubbing. The Spaniards have chosen dubbing and the result of that is that Spanish audiences are used to listening instead of reading subtitles, unlike the Portuguese. It is just a theory, but the truth is that Spain has a real film industry with studios in Madrid, Alicante and Barcelona.
The result of having better production is that Spanish cinematographers have a much better perspective over their careers. We can see by examples such as Jose Luis Alcaine AEC, Javier Aguirresarobe AEC and others, who have international careers, and we see that none of the Portuguese has ever made it. Unless they have emigrated, like Eduardo Serra who fled to France in the late '60s from the Portuguese dictatorship. Eduardo today is a prominent member of AFC and has made a very interesting international career, nominated twice for the Oscars. However, the result of this success has had nothing to do with the Portuguese cinema, but rather with the French.
These examples illustrate very clearly what is at stake in the Portuguese industry for a cinematographer's career, and the difficulties caused by the irregular production of feature films. TV series are just nonexistent. In the last decade Portuguese TV has produced maybe ten TV films, an average of one TV film per year. A one-hour show per year.
Of course, there is the commercials industry, which gives cinematographers a means of living, and there are maybe six cinematographers who make a living exclusively as directors of photography in advertising. Most other cinematographers survive by working in different occupations.
The cinematographer faces another major problem in Portugal. The Portuguese cinematographer is not regarded as an author of a feature production, and within in this experiences a lack of respect for our profession. A cinematographer in Spain, Italy or in any other country is respected for their skill and knowledge. In Portugal cinematographers are regarded as technicians. This situation came about because Portugal never had a tradition of filmmaking and when the first film school appeared, in 1973, it was already very late. The cinematographer was a craftsman working in the studio as a technician and therefore did not have the opportunity to develop the sense of artistry as others did abroad. The history is the reason that the cinematographer has little power to impose rights on to the producers.
It could all be changed if cinematographers could understand that there is time to change: to claim moral rights of the craft and to lay out the conditions of performing the job. Some do it on certain productions, but it is not a norm. If one or two, who are already better known in the industry, can impose some artistic respect and therefore can get better conditions to perform the job, it is just an exception. The cinematographer is still seen as a technician, and someone costly for the production if they request too much lighting, additional camera assistants or focus pullers.
Some of the most prominent and active cinematographers could themselves make the change to benefit all cinematographers, whilst also improving the image and the quality of work of cinematographers, but the situation is difficult. In 2011 Portugal was financially rescued by the IMF for a period of three years. The situation imposed a high degree of austerity and a brutal raise on taxes, something that was never seen before in the country. The film fund was cut to zero in 2012. No film was funded that year and the following year the number of films funded didn't increase.
The lack of work plus the brutal reduction on salaries, due in part to the digital revolution, has made it more difficult to make a living solely on cinematography work, with the exception of those half a dozen DPs doing commercials and the odd feature every two or three years.
There is little courage amongst cinematographers to change the status quo in regard to the producer, because everyone is afraid of retaliation. In the small business as it is in Portugal, a bad reputation quickly spreads. There is fear, a lot of fear about getting together and implementing a change to the situation, and with little or no growth, very little optimism either. So with this backdrop, all one can do is to wait for better days.

There I am, right up there with camera in hand! Finally, got the thrill of shooting Courtney Act (Global Ambassador for Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras) perched on the highest sail of the Opera House. Amazing experience! With limited time and tight technical restrictions you were more concentrated on getting the shot than taking in the remarkable view. However, it will be something I'll remember for a long time to come. Courtney was the consummate professional and, as always, a joy to work with. Thanks to everyone involved in making the shoot happen, particularly the amazing staff at the Opera House for pulling all stops out to facilitate the shoot.
I had the best start to the morning, this morning.
I had to be at the stage door of the Opera House at 6.30am. Myself and a couple of comrades prepared ourselves for an exceptional climb. We were to view the location of a proposed shoot.
After weaving our bodies through the internal structure of one of the sails and along it's spine, we squeezed through the last trapdoor to ascend upon the highest sail of the Opera House. As you climb out, the view almost takes your breath away.
It took a couple of minutes for the realisation that, "I'm on top of the sail of the Opera house…..outside!", to sink in. How fabulous!!
Here's a shot (below). I can't wait for the shoot date!
What a wonderful way to start the morning…..

Read an extract from the book
He'd been surprised at the sound his father's skull made when he split it with the axe.
He wasn't sure what he expected, maybe something wet, squashy. There wasn't much mess, at least not until he yanked out the blade. That had taken a bit of pulling and twisting.
He'd never seen brains before. They glistened at him through the ugly mouth that had opened up in the bald pink scalp, almost as if they were winking at some conspiracy.
The body made a dull thump as it hit the carpet, like a heavy sleeper rolling out of bed.
And he never saw it coming, not till the last second. He'd outwitted the old bastard, shown who was the cleverer. Total surprise, and the old man's easy certainties had drained away with his own blood.
He had hefted the weapon in his hand, held it up for a better look. The silver curl of the blade stood out against the jet black of the axe head.
A thick teardrop of blood crawled down the curve, slowing as it climbed lumps of jelly in its path, then speeding up until it gathered at the heel of the blade and dripped onto the floor.
Sometimes, when he was on his own, he thought back to that night, replayed it in his mind. And every time he could hear that sound of the axe going in, feel the jolt of the impact run up his arm.
It wouldn't have happened if the old bastard had just listened. But he was like the rest. Why could no one see it? He had skills. He had ambitions. Deserved respect.
He was going to be something, the strongest, the biggest, the most feared. He was going to be a big noise. And If they were all too stupid to realise then they deserved everything they got.
And the best bit was, they never found out it was him. Never found out about the others either. Granted, most coppers, most people, were thick as shit but it just goes to show. He really was cleverer than the rest.
And now, after all this time, it was going to happen, the beginning of something special. Granted, that posh twat could talk for England but his plan sounded good, bloody good.
It made sense, sort of. A mix of politics on one hand and organised crime on the other, fingers in pies above and below the waterline. Takeovers, like big business. Get into the organisation and grab it from inside, take what you wanted, cash, power, and guns too.
Something like that, anyway. The posh twat could talk the hind leg off a donkey but his plan all made sense, sort of.
He didn't like the guy and, to be frank, didn't understand half of what he said.
But he recognised someone else who wanted power and respect and that was good enough.
And Digby, bloody stupid name, needed skills, skills he could provide. He'd work with him while it suited, until he had what he wanted.
His time was coming.
There were only a few of them now, a few hundred left among the millions that had started.
They were tiring after the long journey. Their ranks thinned constantly but the leaders had crossed the cervix, travelled the length of the uterus and were now in the fallopian tube.
The leaders surrounded the egg and began bunting its jelly-like surface as they released enzymes to break down its outer layer.
Then a single sperm penetrated and the child was conceived.
At the exact moment it happened the mother was in the tinned goods aisle at the Brighton Marina branch of Asda holding two cans of soup.
She would usually pick the economy version without thinking but the labels told her the more expensive one contained less salt. And the picture on the label, with its curling wisps of steam, made its contents look tastier than the alternative.
She weighed up the tins, as if that might give her a better idea of their flavours, before dropping the economy version into her wire basket and returning the more expensive soup to the shelf.
Unaware of what was happening inside of her, the woman studied the contents of her basket, wondering how much more shopping she could manage in her backpack and the two reusable bags-for-life she had brought with her.
It was a long journey home that would be made more difficult trying to manoeuvre everything if the bus was crowded. Unsure what to do, she consulted the list she had written on a scrap of paper and weighed up what she still had to get.
As the new mother considered her options, the husband was stretched out on his sofa two miles away, his hand hovering over the crutch of his tracksuit bottoms.
If he was honest, the film was crap, some butt-ugly fat bird smothered in tattoos on all fours in the back of a transit van getting rogered by some guy with a beard and a beer gut.
The woman was making a lot of noise and tried to look keen but couldn't hide the fact she was bored shitless. Every time she lifted a slack breast in a half-hearted effort to suck her own nipple you could see her cheap implant scars.
Added to that, the picture kept breaking up and he'd had to crank the volume almost up to the max. Sod the neighbours.
He looked at the box the DVD had come in, something about nympho housewives. You'd have more fun cracking one off to the Hollyoaks omnibus.
Still, he shouldn't be ungrateful. The half dozen DVDs had been given to him by one of Eddie's guys, a "thank you". He had to hide them in his old tool box in the utility cupboard. The wife would go mental if she found them.
And, to be fair, he had to do something to pass the day. Repeats of The Sweeney and Minder were okay the first half dozen times, and all the Nazi history stuff was good, but you could only watch so many repeats.
Still, a "thank you" from Eddie was worth a lot, even if the films were crap. Like cash in the bank. Well, the next best thing anyway.
It meant Eddie knew who you were. Eddie was grateful for something you'd done. Eddie was a good friend to have. You certainly wouldn't want him as an enemy.
The husband scratched his half-hearted crotch with one hand and hit "eject" on the remote control with the other. The DVD wheezed out of the machine and the picture switched to an old cowboy film, lots of shooting in a canyon, the whine of ricochets off rock. This looked promising. As the husband stretched out and wriggled to get comfortable, the lover was lying on his sofa a mile away.
When Danny Lancaster woke, Sky News was still on and somewhere an elderly Russian-built airliner had crashed killing more than forty people.
You have a quick kip, forty die, the TV news loop goes on and the world keeps turning. One day it's your turn, random, arbitrary. A tiny ripple, then nothing, and the world goes on turning without you.
The curtains were half drawn but even in the gloom he couldn't stop himself looking at the swathes of yellow brown nicotine that stained the white stippled paper on the ceiling.
The colour and the shape reminded him of smoke rising from burning vehicles. If he looked too long he could hear gunfire and screaming. He looked away but knew he wouldn't be able to stop himself looking back again soon.
He moved his foot and felt something fall. He looked down and saw the half bottle of vodka on the carpet. Didn't matter. It was empty.
Danny sat back low on the sofa, remembering the bayonet going in, the resistance, the blade grating against ribs. He remembered the eyes of the tall talib in the black turban, knowledge exchanged in a look.
Remembered the smell of garlic on his breath. Remembered a flipflop falling from the man's foot as he pitched backwards.
Killing wasn't good or bad, it was the job, stopping them hurting a mate, getting in first. Not good or bad, but intense.
You only survived by working as a unit, one organism, like bacteria or bees, each with a place, all with the same aim, alone together.
Success depends on the completed Rubik's cube, everything planned, everything slotted into place. And when the plan fell apart, usually early on, it was down to order, instinct, training. It was down to the intensity of shared experience, the pooled adrenalin. And it was down to love.
The tall talib's eyes had bulged as he felt the blade, pink spittle at the corner of his mouth.
For Danny there was victory but no hate. Blood chemicals pumping, it was the victory of a world class athlete crossing the line. If the talib had broken the tape it would have been Tyler dead and the Pashtun with the gold medal.
He wasn't Danny's only one. He had seen men drop through the tunnel of his rifle sight. But the talib had been special, the only one close and personal.
It's what you did. What you volunteered for. What you were good at. All the training prepared you for the job they paid you for and that job was war.
It was a world apart. Different country, different culture, different everything. A world apart. No petty rules, just rules of engagement. No tick-box targets, real flesh-and-bone ones. The only performance-related bonus was staying alive, save someone else the trouble of packing your bags for the journey home.
Danny smiled up at the ceiling. And two feet of sand to stop a bullet, five feet for an RPG. God bless Jimi Heselden.
It was worth having a leg smashed to have been there, cross the line, climb the podium, know as solid fact that you were the best.
His hand fell to his leg. Danny had loved every bloody minute of it.
Since he left he'd had more jobs than he could remember. He enjoyed the physical side of working on a road crew. He liked the slick footwork needed to sell used cars, always look on the positive side, "no" is not an option.
Even his brief experiment with burglary had produced a few memorable adrenalin highs. Danny was always absolutely certain that something would turn up but even his glass-half-full philosophy could take a beating at times.
He missed the feeling of doing something the best way it could be done. And he missed the adrenalin.
Now he was out. He missed Pogo, Si and Dave. He was bored and broke. He was lonely.
Making a fist, Danny hit himself hard in the stomach twice. The six-pack was still firm but he could feel a thin layer of fat creeping across the contoured muscle.
He knew his mind was softening as well, felt the absence of that total certainty and determination that had been hard-wired into his brain not so long ago. He was a blunted knife.
Danny knew he had to get back into his training routine. He needed to cling to his fitness, it was what he knew, what he used to be. The future was enemy territory. And he had to try harder to find some work, seize the initiative.
He was not good at doing nothing. Hard choices had to be made but at that moment he couldn't be bothered to get off the sofa. Too much effort.
Civilian life was hard, so much time frittered away on crap, no focus. Danny was mystified by TV shows and newspaper articles of people banging on about their problems. People who didn't think they'd had their fair share.
People who didn't think they'd been treated right. Men drinking themselves into an early grave because everything they'd been taught was redundant and all the TV ads made them look like fools. Women unhappy because they had their careers and their babies and it wasn't the dream they had been promised.
People fretting over the designer logos on their clothes when the most important ones he'd ever worn were his para wings and his blood group.
There's nothing on the birth certificate that promises you anything. You get up and face each day the best way you can. Not being dead at the end of it is a result.
He had seen people living in crap, in mud huts, drinking bad water. Kids cried for lack of food, not lack of PlayStation.
Just keep it simple, expect nothing and give it your best shot. A day without being shot at is a good one. A day without pain is even better.
He hadn't slept properly since he couldn't remember when. Usually it wasn't a problem, head down for a catnap whenever the chance presented.
But for the last week or more he'd only dozed. It was the noises, the sounds of static and shouting. It might be easier if he could hear what the shouting was about but it was urgent and garbled.
Then there was the twitch. The corner of his left eye would suddenly start. It drove him mad. He'd tried pressing down on it with his finger but he could still feel the muscle beneath tapping out some random message he couldn't read.
A gull screeched outside. Danny took a packet of cigarettes from the arm of the sofa and lit one, watching the smoke rise to deepen the stains above him. He had to get back into running again, maybe lift a few weights. If he didn't, he'd end up as some lardy housebound wreck, shouting the odds, putting the world to rights from an armchair, boring people with war stories.
For some reason, the thought flashed up an image of his grandad. Danny didn't know how old he had been when he'd last seen him but it was a long time ago.
The old man had seemed strange and exotic in the small Edmonton tower block flat, like some sort of alien or minor deity.
Old Stan always sat in the same armchair, the one with elbow indentations in the arms that had worn through the fabric.
His forearms were dotted with tattoos. The loose leathery skin made them look as if they were melting.
He spoke in short gasps and his belly quivered when he laughed. The table by his chair was always laid out the same, big old valve radio, that week's Radio Times, Capstan Full Strength and a bottle of Mackeson that Nan always insisted sat on a coaster so it didn't mark the wood.
His breath smelled of tobacco and old age and he kept his dentures in the tray from a large household match box behind the radio.
Sometimes Danny would visit after school. OnNan's baking days the smells made his head swim. It was a sort of game they'd play where Danny would dip his fingers into the thick cake mixes for a taste. Nan would cuff him round the head and tick him off, then when she had filled her baking trays she would leave him the empty bowls to scrape clean.
On other days he would sit cross-legged on the rug in front of the flame-effect gas fire listening to the old man's stories.
He didn't understand much but somehow he knew it was important to sit still and listen. Grandad's watery eyes would shine with a strange light when he told his war stories. Danny never tired of them, no matter how many times he heard them.
Stan talked of battles and comrades and seemed to be driven by a new energy as he groped around the small shelf beneath his table where his campaign medals were kept in an old biscuit tin painted silver.
Grandad talked a lot about the family, an uncle who had emigrated to Canada and cousins who'd gone to Australia in the 1920s. Others had spent years at sea, the earliest of them sailing under canvas, times that Grandad spoke of as "wooden ships and iron men."
There were photographs too, yellowy brown images on thick card with cracks across them and chunks missing around the edges.
As Grandad held them out Danny was fascinated by the whirls and folds of his weathered, aged skin.
The pictures were of serious-looking people in tight clothes all buttoned up. Some stood bolt upright in studio portraits that always seemed to include a potted plant. Others showed seaside outings with the family dressed in beachwear that was more substantial than the clothes most people wore to go shopping now.
Grandad reeled off the names and they meant nothing to Danny but sometimes a nose, eyes or a smile would remind him of someone.
Still, he knew it was important. Different lives, different people all linked down the centuries by an invisible steel thread of kinship. He was being watched. There were expectations to be fulfilled.
Danny drew on his cigarette and exhaled hard at the ceiling. The screen of rising smoke made the nicotine stains look as if they were billowing. He pictured the whorls and loops of wrinkles that had covered Grandad's hands. They were the intricate, natural patterns that you saw in the texture of wilderness viewed from a helicopter.
Danny looked at the ceiling again. He was broke, the only money coming in was from that Chinese business. It wasn't really worth the effort but people in need of a detective were not exactly fighting to get through his front door.
He stubbed out the dying cigarette in the saucer on the floor and picked up the vodka. A last trickle burned his throat and he swallowed hard before dropping the bottle back on the carpet.
Danny levered himself up off the sofa with a grunt and padded into the kitchen. The fridge was almost bare, a couple of foil trays and a yellowing lump of old cheese in a fold of plastic. He pared away the mould with a knife and slapped what remained between two slices of dry bread.
He bit into the sandwich and chewed. A bit stale but it filled a hole.
There were still two large cans of lager in the fridge. He took one out, popped the ring pull and wandered back into the living room. It was growing dark as the weak daylight faded but the TV was still on, still illuminating the furniture with the flicker of Sky News. Danny dropped onto the sofa and watched as the ticker at the bottom of the screen announced breaking news. He glanced towards the sound of rain lashing at the window.
Gripping his lager, Danny sat forward in the sofa to watch.
The axe was curved, balanced, perfectly weighted. It was a beauty but it was a tool, a tool for a job. First link in the chain. It would help him towards the guns. Guns were good, precision tools. Just the sight of them could have people shitting themselves. And that was before they whacked bits of metal out at the speed of a jet fighter. No one could argue with that, no matter how hard they thought they were. Guns were sexy. Not like the axe, that was personal, you could see the result, right up close, hear the noise, feel the vibration. The axe was a fucking work of art but guns gave you range. A second step. And they would be his. He couldn't wait.
MITTE DISTRICT,BERLIN
Lunch had been excellent, really excellent. For all his faults, Clive was always a wonderful host, always did you proud.
The cream of Bavarian smoked trout was delicious, the Brandenburg beef had been done to perfection and the wines were superb.
Sir Charles prided himself on being something of a trencherman but he had eaten so well that the dessert trolley had beaten him.
And it wasn't just the food. The setting had been quite breathtaking with panoramic views across the city taking in its classical buildings, extensive woodland and the forest of cranes hard at work rebuilding and renewing.
Afterwards, they had stepped outside for a cigar. Beside them stood Norman Foster's glass dome, a hemisphere of shining crystal standing on the thick, dark stones of a building from another age. Inside, beneath its spiral walkway, you could look down into the parliament chamber below.
It really was hard to credit that a building drenched in so much dark history could be transformed into a place that drew millions of visitors to queue for hours in all weathers.
All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable day. Still, there was much to think about. He wasn't sure about Clive, not at all sure. The man was always pleasant but there was something about him. Not sure what, just something.
Still, their discussions had opened doors he hadn't seriously considered before. European politics had always appeared rather sordid, a conspiracy of bureaucrats in support of failed national politicians whose sole interest was seeing themselves commemorated in statues from Cardiff to Sofia.
Sir Charles was confident he had led a full and interesting life, made a contribution, even if he said so himself. The old bones were getting a bit creaky now but that was no reason not to take on a new challenge.
Some of our greatest leaders had combined vision with maturity and a certain wisdom born of experience. If he was called to serve in some capacity it would be wrong not to do so. The liberal, social model had its place but now it was everywhere, affecting every aspect of life. There was no alternative, no counterbalance.
Not that he would represent a right wing agenda in any nasty sense, if he was asked to step forward. No, his interest lay in respect for national traditions and achievements, judging by what a people had done and who they were, not according to some airy fairy cocktail of rights under an ever-expanding central control fuelled by ridiculously high taxes.
He was ever mindful of what Margaret had said about the contributions of the English speaking nations to the security and prosperity of the world. It was a real tragedy our greatest prime minister since Churchill had been betrayed and driven out by lesser men.
In his mind's eye ideas began to take shape. He had money and contacts and the experience to mould events. Sir Charles considered himself a modest, sensible man but, perhaps, his time had come. Someone had to step up and stop the rot before it was too late, before cherished institutions and a way of life drowned in a sea of consensus politics and red tape. He could be that man.
He had conquered the world of business, politics would be new and challenging territory. Sir Charles considered the idea and smiled.
There was much to think about. He didn't usually like walking but today was a special day. When they parted outside the Bundestag Sir Charles had declined Clive's offer of a lift and set off on foot through the Brandenburg Gate and into Pariser Platz. Despite the biting Russian wind there were still crowds of tourists and a few street performers dressed as clowns or Vopo guards painted silver.
Ahead was the vast and solid shape of his hotel, the Adlon Kempinski. Clive had mentioned that its guests had included Charlie Chaplin, Adolf Hitler and some singer who had swung his small child from the balcony. That alone said a lot about the world we live in now.
He had passed the dull fortress of the American embassy and was approaching the glass fronted building that was once the offices of Albert Speer when a thought occurred to him. What harm could it do, in a spirit of historical inquiry? Decision made, he turned south and cut through to Behrenstrasse.
Filling the view in front of him was a field of huge cubes criss-crossed with paths, undulating across an entire city block.
He paused for a moment, catching the occasional colourful flash of a tourist's anorak within the uniform grey of the memorial as they explored its grid.
Of course it was necessary to commemorate such an event as the Holocaust. If you did not remember the mistakes of the past you were destined to repeat them.
That said, not everyone seemed to support the idea of something so large in the city centre. He had heard the memorial was plagued by graffiti and even a few lunatics who sneaked in to have a barbecue.
That sort of behaviour was clearly grotesque. Such a memorial was absolutely necessary but perhaps it didn't need to occupy quite such valuable real estate.
He pulled his coat tightly around him and set off through the centre of the maze, puffing as the pathway rose. Still, a little afternoon exercise would aid the digestion.
In the south east corner of the block the obelisks thinned out. Wheezing slightly, he reached the pavement and crossed the junction into Gertrud-Kolmar Strasse. A block further on he stopped, collar turned up against the biting wind. He lifted a hand to smooth his hair back down across his scalp. A few people passed by, bent forward against the elements. A small group stood on the corner, looking around.
On his left was an unattractive grey block of apartments with a red roof. Between the building and the road was a half empty car park fronted by patches of grass worn to bare earth in places.
To one side was a sign board fronted with plastic. It looked as though it might contain detail of parking charges or perhaps council notices on refuse and recycling collections but he knew it didn't.
He walked up to the board and felt strange at the knowledge of what lay where he trod. He waited until a Dutch family moved on before stepping up to study the diagrams and descriptions of the Fuhrerbunker beneath his feet.
Axe to guns, guns to money. And money would bring him the stuff he wanted, expensive stuff, and respect as well. Maybe he'd rent a yacht, one of those big ones, all smooth curves, bit like the axe. He could get a really decent tan. Maybe he'd hire a private jet, cruise in deep leather seats miles above all those tossers jammed in their package holiday jets. While they were counting their leftover Euros to pay for a tin of beer he'd be served expensive fizz by some bird with a posh accent in a tight uniform and one of those daft hats.
FOUR YEARS AGO
IF this was dying, it wasn't so bad. He didn't know what all the fuss was about.
The night sky was fantastic, bloody fantastic.
A rich river of the deepest black carried a cascade of silver that swirled and sparkled and pulsed.
He didn't know much about God, just the usual Sunday school stuff when he was a kid, although somehow he still knew the words to the hymns when he heard them. But if God was real then up there was where he'd be living.
Just the sheer bloody size of it all made you feel small, so alive, so peaceful. He could lie there and watch it forever if it wasn't for the voices and the hissing in his head.
A shooting star flashed over, a brilliant thread of silver. He was almost sure he could hear it fizzing. A second and a third followed the same gentle arc. Bloody fantastic.
Then a spray of green streaks, luminous against the night, chased by a cluster of red ones, racing after each other at tremendous speed. He felt the ground tremble.
A voice called out, it seemed a long way away. Then he heard a series of rattles and taps, like someone trying to find a beat. Something spattered the ground nearby. The earth was shuddering now. Coloured slashes split the darkness.
The voice called again. Something zipped into the dirt to his left. Then two bulky heads were blocking his view of the sky.
"Jesus, look at the state of him."
"Fuck sake, Dave, grab his weapon and let's move." The second head moved close. "Can you hear me, mate? It's Si. Just stay with us, okay, mate?" Si looked back over his shoulder into the blackness. "Pogo! Cover!"
Machine gun fire ripped the night. Si grabbed the wounded man's chest rig and hauled him off the hard earth, began to run at a crouch. "Go! Go!"
After thirty feet they dropped to the ground. An ugly noise swirled around them. The coarse, high-pitched sound grew louder, its frantic, serrated edge slicing through them.
It went on and on until Si stabbed a morphine autojet into the thigh of the screaming man. The darkness crumbled and collapsed on him, swamping the lights and the noise.
Women weren't a problem, never had been. Some were drawn, like moths, getting their kick off the danger. Others were afraid of him but just as afraid to say no. He did okay but money would make a difference, big time. You could get classy birds, fit birds, not just the usual slags. They'd do anything you wanted, anything, like the stuff in the DVDs. And they'd like it. And they'd smile.
THE ENGLISH CHANNEL
It had been a busy night. The high over the Azores was pushing a low pressure front towards theEnglish Channel.
The severe south-westerly gale began to reach Force Nine with winds of more than 50mph and swells rising up to 30 feet.
Pressed from behind by relentless force, the Atlantic storm resented being squeezed between the English and French coasts.
Driven forward into narrowing seas, billions of tonnes of water formed a tidal stream through the world's busiest shipping lanes, hunting for somewhere to escape, lashing out to show its disapproval.
Water driven forward by the wind pushed long swells up the Channel to the north east. The flood tide drove on relentlessly until two hours after high water at Dover. Then it turned.
MORE DANNY LANCASTER
I've spent most of my working life as a journalist and was pleased and surprised to win an award for my travel writing. Before that I tried all sorts of jobs including furniture removals, photography, teaching and running a magazine group.
Travel writing is not all cocktails under the palm trees but it's a fantastic job that has taken me to more than 40 countries, from the pure white wastes of Arctic Finland to the ancient deserts of Namibia.

Q: Running a function on comment status change I am making a review system where i need to find update rating average when:

*

*A comment gets approved from pending/trash/spam.

*A comment gets upapprove from approve

*A admin post reviews (auto approved)

*A comment gets edited (from backend or frontend custom dashboard when user wants to edit/update/remove his already made review)

Here is the code i've written:
add_action('edit_comment', 'update_business_rating_avg');
add_action('comment_post', 'update_business_rating_avg');
add_action('comment_unapproved_to_approved', 'update_business_rating_avg');
add_action('comment_approved_to_unapproved', 'update_business_rating_avg');
add_action('comment_spam_to_approved', 'update_business_rating_avg');
add_action('comment_approved_to_spam', 'update_business_rating_avg');

    function update_business_rating_avg($comment){
        //fb($comment);
        $post_id = $comment->comment_post_ID;
        $post_type = get_post_type($post_id);
        if('business' == $post_type){
        //fb($post_type);
            $args = array(
                                    'post_id' => $post_id,
                                    'status' => 'approve'
                        );
            $comments = get_comments($args);
            $total_ratings = 0;
            $avg = 0;
            foreach($comments as $comment){
                $total_points += get_comment_meta($comment->comment_ID, 'rating', true);
                $total_ratings++;
            }
            if($total_ratings > 0){
                $avg = $total_points/$total_ratings;
                $avg = (float)$avg;
            }
            $avg = roundToNearestFraction($avg,0.5);
            update_post_meta($post_id, 'avg_rating', $avg);
        }
    }

Problem:

*

*I am still missing something because when an admin post a review the function not triggered (Its gets auto approved).

*Check the function update_business_rating_avg() and how I use get_comment_meta() inside foreach. Is it performance killing? Is there a better way to do this? Custom SQL parhaps?
Appreciate your help, Thanks!
SOLVED:
Final Code
Thanks to @Soulseekah to send me to right direction. Here is final code for the solution if someone needs it in future. The SQL is a complex one because i had to JOIN both wp_comments and wp_commentmeta to compare approved comment and comment associated with the current post ID.
add_action('edit_comment', 'update_business_rating_avg');
add_action('comment_post', 'update_business_rating_avg');
add_action('comment_unapproved_to_approved', 'update_business_rating_avg');
add_action('comment_approved_to_unapproved', 'update_business_rating_avg');
add_action('comment_spam_to_approved', 'update_business_rating_avg');
add_action('comment_approved_to_spam', 'update_business_rating_avg');
add_action('comment_approved_to_trash', 'update_business_rating_avg');
add_action('comment_trash_to_approved', 'update_business_rating_avg');

function update_business_rating_avg($comment){
    if ( !is_object( $comment ) ){
        $comment = get_comment( $comment );
    }

    $post_id = $comment->comment_post_ID;
    $post_type = get_post_type($post_id);
    if('business' == $post_type){
        $avg = 0;
        global $wpdb;
        $query = "SELECT AVG(meta_value) FROM $wpdb->commentmeta ";
        $query .= "INNER JOIN $wpdb->comments ON $wpdb->commentmeta.comment_id = $wpdb->comments.comment_ID " ;
        $query .= "WHERE $wpdb->commentmeta.meta_key = 'rating' ";
        $query .= "AND $wpdb->comments.comment_approved = 1 ";
        $query .= "AND $wpdb->comments.comment_post_ID = '$post_id'";

        if( $result = $wpdb->get_var($wpdb->prepare($query)) ){
            $avg = roundToNearestFraction($result, 0.5);
            update_post_meta($post_id, 'avg_rating', $avg);
        }else{
            // report error
            //$wpdb->print_error();
        }
    }
}

A: The comment_post hook is called with a $comment_id as the first argument.
 You can see why your function is failing. Same goes for the edit_comment hook.
Simply add the following at the beginning of your business function:
if ( !is_object( $comment ) )
    $comment = get_comment( $comment );

Do use a custom SQL query for comment metadata retrieval, as right now, with what you have there, you'll end up querying the database for each and every comment. Moreover, I would additionally suggest using the built-in SUM and AVG MySQL functions to avoid the extra loops in PHP.
SELECT SUM(`meta_value`), AVG(`meta_value`)
FROM `{$wpdb->commentmeta}`
WHERE `meta_key` = 'rating'
AND `comment_id` = '$sanitized_comment_id';

A: I found that having the $result inside the if() statement wasn't working for me.
if( $result = $wpdb->get_var($wpdb->prepare($query)) ){

So if you have the same issue, try this:
$result = $wpdb->get_var($wpdb->prepare($query));
if( $result ){ ... }

- Program Note by publisher
The Final Countdown is a song by Swedish rock band Europe, released in 1986. Written by Joey Tempest, it was based on a keyboard riff he made in the early 1980s, with lyrics inspired by David Bowie's Space Oddity. Originally made to just be a concert opener, it is the first single and title track from the band's third studio album. The song reached number one in 25 countries, including the United Kingdom, and was certified gold in that country in 1986.
The song is a favorite at sporting events, often being played to rally crowds. It has also become a staple of high school and college pep bands for the same purpose.

Jean-Baptiste Perlat, né à Croutelle (Vienne) le  et décédé à Migné-Auxances (Vienne) le , est un architecte français du , spécialisé dans l'architecture religieuse, qui a surtout exercé dans le diocèse de Poitiers.

Biographie

Jean-Baptiste Perlat est né dans une famille modeste. Apprentis serrurier, puis employé à la Poste, il suit parallèlement les cours de l'école gratuite de dessin de Poitiers alors dirigée par Honoré Hivonnait. Il y reçoit plusieurs prix, en particulier en dessin d'architecture, et les encouragements de ses professeurs.

Durant quatorze ans, il exerce le métier de professeur de dessin au collège catholique de Chezal-Benoît (Cher), où il réside jusqu'en 1851 et où il se lie à de nombreux religieux. Puis il s'installe à Châteauroux (Indre), où il commence sa carrière d'architecte après s'être formé vraisemblablement auprès de divers confrères. Le premier concours auquel il participe date de 1857 et concerne la construction de l'église Saint-André de Châteauroux, qui sera finalement confiée à l'architecte départemental Alfred Dauvergne.

Les liens qu'il a tissés à Chezal-Benoît avec des familles d'élèves lui permettent d'entreprendre plusieurs chantiers dans le Puy-de-Dôme. En 1860, il vient résider chez les oblats de Saint-Hilaire à Poitiers, où il conçoit la plupart de ses réalisations. Toujours très proche du milieu ecclésiastique et bénéficiant du soutien de l'évêque, Monseigneur Pie, il répond aux nombreuses sollicitations des curés et des communautés religieuses qui souhaitent agrandir ou reconstruire leur église ou leur chapelle pour répondre à l'accroissement de la population et satisfaire aux directives de Monseigneur Pie, qui cherche à ranimer la ferveur religieuse dans toutes les couches de la société. Dans ses chantiers, Perlat ne se contente pas de résoudre les problèmes d'architecture, mais s'implique dans la création du mobilier, surveillant de près les programmes sculptés et dessinant autels, chaires, confessionnaux, stalles... Ardent partisan du style néo-gothique, il conçoit dans la mesure du possible, compte tenu des contingences financières, des édifices à collatéraux, abside et clocher-porche surmonté d'une flèche.

Malheureusement, de santé fragile, Perlat ne pourra aller au bout de ses ambitions et devra souvent confier à son assistant, Alcide Boutaud, la tâche de terminer des chantiers. Jean-Baptiste Perlat, tout en travaillant jusqu'à la fin de sa vie, finira ses jours au couvent des sœurs de Saint-Philomène de Salvert à Migné-Auxances qu'il ne cesse d'agrandir durant des années. C'est là qu'il décède, à l'âge de 74 ans.

Chattanooga Will Ask FCC to Preempt State Barriers in Tennessee
Fri, July 11, 2014 | Posted by Lisa Gonzalez
Since January, when the DC Circuit Court of Appeals suggested the FCC has the authority to preempt state anti-muni laws, local communities have publicly supported the notion. Chattanooga's Electric Power Board (EPB) will join those communities when it petitions the FCC to preempt similar laws in Tennessee, reports The Center for Public Integrity.
Danna Bailey, vice president of corporate communication at EPB recently told The Center:
"We continue to receive requests for broadband service from nearby communities to serve them," Bailey said. "We believe cities and counties should have the right to choose the infrastructure they need to support their economies."
Chattanooga, one of the publicly owned networks that have inspired FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, has proved itself as a strong economic development tool. According to the article:
A day after his meeting with Berke, Wheeler wrote in his blog, "I believe that it is in the best interests of consumers and competition that the FCC exercises its power to pre-empt state laws that ban or restrict competition from community broadband. Given the opportunity, we will do so."
A number of other communities with municipal networks, or in the process of deploying them, have passed Resolutions that support the FCC:
Westminster, Maryland - plans for an open access fiber network are moving forward
Chanute, Kansas - the network has grown incrementally since 1994; the community is now planning for an FTTH expansion
Ammon, Idaho - the open access network serves community anchor institutions; local businesses are now connecting
Moultrie, Georgia - the community is part of a regional network in southwest Georiga, serving schools, businesses, residents, and community acnhor institutions
Vidalia, Louisiana - the community offers free Wi-Fi with the goal of utilizing its fiber resources for ecnomic development
Sebewaing, Michigan - this small town is building its own fiber network to bring connectivity to a community the large providers do not serve
Urbana, Illinois - this large city just entered into a partnership to expand the efforts of UC2B and bring FTTH to more residents and businesses
In addition to communities with firsthand experience, the American Public Power Association (APPA) also passed a Resolution in June, urging Congress, the FCC, and the Obama Administration to unequivocally support:
…the ability of local governments, including public power utilities, to provide advanced communications services that meet essential community needs and promote economic development and regional and global competitiveness.
The U.S. Conference of Mayors passed a similar Resolution at its annual meeting in June, which read:
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the US Conference of Mayors recommends that the FCC preempt state barriers to municipal broadband service as a significant limitation to competition in the provision of Internet access.
Soon after, a coalition from the National Association of Telecommunications Officers and Advisors (NATOA), the National League of Cities (NLC), and the National Association of Counties (NACo) joined together for a letter of support to Chairman Wheeler:
The importance of Internet choice at the local level has never been more important. In many places in the U.S, locally-driven projects—including innovative partnerships with private sector companies—have demonstrated that local creativity and local authority is a viable means by which new next-generation broadband infrastructure can emerge.
Fortunately, support is also coming from DC. In late June, a collection of Senate and House Members penned a letter to Chairman Wheeler, asking him to take action and begin the process. In a statement fully supported by the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, the Members wrote:
Communities are often best suited to decide for themselves if they want to invest in their own infrastructure and to choose the approach that will work best for them. In fact, it was the intent behind the Telecommunications Act of 1996 to eliminate barriers to entry into the broadband market and promote competition in order to stimulate more innovation and consumer choice. We urge you and your colleagues to utilize the full arsenal of tools Congress has enacted to promote competitive broadband service to ensure America's communities obtain a 21st century infrastructure to succeed in today's fiercely competitive global economy.
Local communities, regional coalitions, and federal leadership all recognize the importance of local Internet choice. The country is ready for the next step, Chairman Wheeler. We support you!

Why scientists say wearing masks shouldn't be controversial
admin, 7 months ago 0 10 min read 395
To hide or not to conceal? To the dismay of several public health specialists, that stays an issue up for discussion at the USA even as the coronavirus pandemic rages on.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended that everybody wear masks when in people to suppress the spread of COVID-19. However, as lockdowns have raised, a lot of individuals have not followed this advice, as well as numbers are growing in some nations. In response, some states like California have made sporting face coverings mandatory in people. But in Nebraska, the governor has obstructed city- and – county-level attempts to demand wearing masks in public. Other nations, like Texas, advocate, but do not need face sheets in people, although some counties over the country are necessitating masks.
In the individual level, a few individuals have protested their liberty have been infringed upon being advised to cover their mouths and noses. Others are concealing up if they leave their houses.

Meanwhile, the scientists have been collecting info on if fabric masks worn by members of the public can lower the spread of the coronavirus. Science News piled up the most recent statistics and spoke to experts about how nicely these masks actually protect from the coronavirus.
Why are masks currently suggested by public health specialists?
In the start of the outbreak, public health officials believed the virus had been mostly transmitted by people touching contaminated surfaces or objects and then touching their face. Regular handwashing and refraining from touching your face were the principal meds (SN: 3/4/20). The CDC and the World Health Organization equally initially stated that healthy people did not have to put on masks.
However, it's become clear that touch virus-laden objects is not the Significant way that the coronavirus moves from person to person, says immunologist Robert Quigley. He's senior vice president and regional health director of International SOS, a firm based in Trevose, Penn., that helps devise strategies for mitigating health and health risks. Rather, researchers now believe COVID-19 is spread mainly by someone inhaling the virus expelled by another person.
That explains the rationale supporting the CDC's recommendation that everybody wear a mask in people: The covering can decrease the danger of mask wearers that do not know they are infected by passing the virus to somebody else.
"We consider now that we're learning more about this publication virus that there's transmission from asymptomatic people," Quigley says. Studies have determined that individuals are able to transmit the virus to get a few days before symptoms begin, which some men and women who not develop symptoms can be contagious (SN: 6/9/20).
In Singapore, researchers utilized contact-tracing statistics to estimate that roughly 40 to 50 percentage of COVID-19 instances from January 23 to February 26 were sent by people who were not yet experiencing symptoms. The identical team discovered that at Tianjin, China, the quantity of these presymptomatic transmission was higher. By January 21 into February 22, 60 into 80 percentage of cases were imputed to disperse before symptoms appeared, the investigators report June 22 at eLife.
Since even apparently healthy individuals are able to disperse COVID-19 if they are infected but do not understand it, health officials now recommend that everybody wear masks in public.
In most areas in the USA, face coverings have become required when out in people. Studies suggest such steps can help halt the coronavirus from dispersing. Sarah Morris/Getty Pictures
Is there any evidence that a fabric mask may obstruct virus spread?
Several studies have examined surgical masks and N95 masks and discovered they reduce viral spread, but until today, there hasn't been much evidence that fabric masks also work (SN: 4/9/20).
Matthew Staymates, a mechanical engineer and fluid dynamicist in the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Md., normally functions on inventing methods to detect narcotics and other illegal substances from the atmosphere. However, while he had been on compulsory telework, Staymates discovered he missed performing experiments. He persuaded his managers to allow him bring home some gear so he can assess whether fabric pushes cut down on the amount of possibly virus-laden particles which emanates out of people's mouths and noses when they speak, breathe or cough.
He put up the device in his woodshop and filmed himself questioning with a mask. He tested 26 forms of fabric mask, such as ones created from common sewing cloths such as lightweight flannel, cotton T-shirts, quilting cotton, cotton-polyester combinations and polypropylene from reusable shopping bags.
Staymates did not utilize any viruses within his experiments, therefore that he can not say whether one kind of mask does a much better job of grabbing viruses compared to another. But with high-energy visualizations, he can ascertain which masks obstructed the trajectory of atmosphere coming out of his lungs when he coughed or spoke.
Wearing some face covering, such as bandanas or throat warmers, could partially obstruct the cloud of droplets published in a cough, the experimentation revealed. Masks that are fitted into the nose, chin and lips did a better job of blocking droplet flow, and also, theoretically, of preventing germs, also, Staymates explains in a blog article on the NIST site.
Provided that individuals wear the masks correctly, that's. "At one stage, I pulled down my mask beneath my nose at the movie" and coughed, " he states. The movie revealed that a jet of air flowing from his nose because he coughed. "I was shocked when I saw that footage," he states. "I was very surprised by how much air comes out of your nose when you cough" When he sees individuals with their masks covering their mouths, but maybe not their noses,"that I [think]'No. Do not do this. You are beating the goal,"' he states.
Mask sporting has been controversial in the USA, even as information are piling that masks might help restrict spread of the coronavirus. Not much was known about the efficacy of fabric masks, therefore a researcher establish a home laboratory to check if these masks can decrease the quantity of possibly virus-laden substance individuals expel from their mouths and noses. Watch what he found.
Can a fabric mask stop me from catching the virus from somebody else?
Alone, fabric masks are not good at protecting the wearer," states Abba Gumel, a mathematical biologist at Arizona State University at Tempe.
Cloth masks may fluctuate widely in the number of particles, such as virus, they stop from hitting the mask wearer. The ideal fabric masks, that are fitted into the facial skin and made from best materials, like closely woven cotton, may block to 80 percentage of particles, whereas most — notably masks which are not fitted correctly, or made from flimsy material — filter out just about 20 into 50 percentage of particles," he says. But even the smallest efficacy mask,"is still better than nothing," Gumel states.
Fabric masks are for protecting different people out of youpersonally, Quigley stresses. "Let us make no bones about itthe fabric mask isn't anywhere near as successful in preventing you from inhaling the coronavirus compared using a medical-grade N95 mask," he states.
Surgical masks can block 70 to 90 percentage of infectious particles from reaching the wearer, and N95 pushes filter out over 95 per cent, Gumel states. Medical-grade N95 masks are in short supply and must be earmarked for healthcare workers and others that are elevated risk of being subjected to this coronavirus, he and other experts concur.
Masks are much better at protecting others in the mask wearer than at shielding the wearer since when somebody sporting a face covering breathes, talks, coughs or sneezes, the majority of the atmosphere carrying any possible germs is filtered through the mask, raising the odds of grabbing the majority of the infectious particles. Inhaling while wearing a mask which does not form a seal on your face can draw unfiltered air from either side, top or bottom, in addition to air filtered through the mask.

Does everyone must put on a mask?
There's power in numbers, Gumel and coworkers discovered. At simulations of epidemics using a very low speed of transmission, widespread mask wearing is"very, very capable of reducing hospitalizations and mortality," he states. If half of the people wore masks which block half particles, transmission rates could also be roughly halved, Gumel and coworkers report April 21 at Infectious Disease Modeling.
Much low-effectiveness fabric masks that block just 20 percentage of viral particles can cut transmission speeds by a third, given 80 percentage of individuals wore the caps, the investigators estimate. In locations where transmission rates are large, in the event 80 percentage of individuals wore masks which block half infectious particles, 17 into 45 percentage of projected deaths within two weeks may be prevented, the researchers calculate.
These calculations are based on estimates made by scientists. Epidemics may be brought under control if everyone wore a mask all the time when in people, even when face masks are just 50 percent successful, scientists report June 10 at the Proceedings of Royal Society A.
And though sprays tend to be less capable of shielding the wearer, private defense went as a larger proportion of individuals wore masks at the investigators' calculations. That is because"my mask protects you, your mask protects me," the investigators write, a lot more mask sporting means greater security for everyone.
Some real world data also indicate masks are good in helping curb the spread of this coronavirus. George Wehby and Wei Lyu, health policy researchers in the University of Iowa at Iowa City, monitored daily coronavirus situation counts in 15 nations and Washington, D.C., that falsified face caps to the general public in certain configurations such as grocery stores, throughout the analysis period from April 8 to May 15. The group also tracked case counts in nations that required masks just for essential employees, such as restaurant employees, healthcare providers and authorities or firefighters.

States that required everyone to put on masks found little, but continuous declines in daily case counts after instituting the mandate in comparison to counts at one to five times prior to the mandates took effect, the investigators report June 16 at Health Affairs. From the time mask dictates had been set up for 21 times, daily instance counts had decreased by 2 percentage points. An estimated 230,000 to 450,000 coronavirus cases may have been prevented between April 8 and May22 since people wore masks, the group calculates.
The investigators accounted for shelter-in-place orders along with other general health measures, but can not say for certain masks are the only reason behind its decrease, Wehby states. Requiring workers, but not the public, to put on masks did not lower case counts, the investigators discovered. But that may be because companies are frequently already requiring workers to wear masks, so the nation mandates are only enforcing measures which are already set up.
"There is a general consensus today that pushes work, and study is encouraging ," Wehby states. "Moving forward, masks are a substitute for some of the rigorous social bookmarking steps. They do not replace [social distancing], however, in which social distancing can't be enacted, mask usage makes common sense"
Gumel agrees. "If everyone wore a mask, we would do a great deal better"

Mumbai: The Kapil Dev-led Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) will interview six shortlisted candidates - Mike Hesson, Tom Moody, Robin Singh, Lalchand Rajput, Phil Simmons and Ravi Shastri - for India's head coach's job at the BCCI headquarters on Friday.
A former opening batsman for Mumbai Lalchand Rajput was coach of Under-19 Indian Cricket Team during the tour of England.
According to the BCCI, interviews of six candidates for the post of head coach will be held in Mumbai on The 16th of this month.
The Indian Cricket Team were knocked out of their second consecutive Cricket World Cup during the semi-final stage.
Shastri has been with the team for a while now, earlier as the team director and was appointed the head coach in 2017 - after Anil Kumble's departure.
Overall, Shastri's performance as the coach of India can be termed good and not to forget, Indian skipper Virat Kohli also shares a good rapport with him.
After his retirement, he was appointed as the manager of India for the Twenty20 World Championship 2007 in South Africa. Also, he the tournament in charge of Caribbean Premier League and has had coaching stints in Bangladesh Premier League as well as in Pakistan Super League.
After his contract was terminated by Afghanistan cricket board, he was named head coach of Zimbabwe in May 2018.
Former all-rounder Robin Singh represented India in just one Test and 136 ODI between 1989 and 2001. He played eight Tests, scoring 456 runs at 32.57 with two centuries, and 76 ODIs, with 1,211 runs at 23.28 and 52 wickets. A year later, he saw himself become the head coach of the Indian cricket team for the first time - for a period of two years.
He then joined as the Mumbai Indians head coach in 2010 and he is now the fielding coach of the franchise.
He has also expressed interest in the role of India's head coach and could be one of the favourites. Hesson recently stepped down from his position as Kings XI Punjab manager.
The 44-year-old was described by former captain Brendon McCullum as "the best coach the Black Caps have ever had" - guided the team to new heights across all three formats.
He is best known as the coach who took New Zealand to their first World Cup final in 2015. Apart from his work with Western Australia and Worcestershire at the domestic level, he has the experience of coaching and managing teams in six different countries. Ravi Shastri is now on a tour of the West Indies. Besides this, Simmons also played in 207 first-class matches and 306 List A games. Hesson, meanwhile, served as head coach of New Zealand for six years, the highlights being their memorable run to the 2015 World Cup final and a home Test series win over England in 2018. However, he was sacked soon after completing a year in the wake of the Caribbean side's dismal campaign at the 2016 T20 World Cup in India.
