There are many signs of early pregnancy worth checking out. Sure, you know some of them but there are subtle signs as well that you probably missed in all likelihood.
So, you suspect you are pregnant but you are not sure. You want to take pregnancy test or visit your OB-GYN but haven't been able to do so. The suspense is killing you. Trust me, I have been there.
Here are some early signs of pregnancy you can observe to confirm your pregnancy.
You are a healthy lady, energetic but all of a sudden you get winded when you went up the stairs. How can that be? Well, it might be a very early sign of pregnancy. The fetus that is growing inside you needs oxygen. In some cases, it leaves you in shortness of it. It may continue to grow throughout your pregnancy and become more and more severe – perks of being a mommy, eh?
Many ladies get sore breasts during their pregnancies and periods. So if it did hurt when you were putting your bra in the morning, it could be due to pregnancy. In fact it is one of the more serious signs, you should have it checked out either way. Meanwhile, wear your most comfortable bra to ease out the pain.
Shortness of breath is one thing and is caused by physical activities. Fatigue on the other hand is something long-lasting and can occur for no reason. Even though you haven't done aby laborious work, you still cannot finish your reading when you went to bed last night. You just sunk to sleep. For many women, tiredness continues through the first trimester, but then recedes in the second.
This one is a bit obvious. Many pregnant women start to feel uneasy when they are six weeks into their pregnancy. After then, almost every woman gets nausea in one form or another. Sometimes it comes in the form of morning sickness, other times the smell of a freshly baked cake can put you off. When you go in your second trimester, it starts to vanish. Meanwhile, you can eat foods that are likely to settle your stomach.
When you get pregnant, your body produces extra fluids. This makes your bladder work extra fast to compensate. Hence, you pee a lot. So if you are having to go to the toilet a lot especially during sleep time, it may be a sign that you are pregnant.
Headaches are a part of everyone's normal lives. We all get them. But things change when you start getting mild headaches very frequently. They come as a result of changes in hormones when you are pregnant. Headaches are one of the early signs and go away after a few weeks.
This one is a little bit obvious. Are you experiencing pain in your lower back when you normally don't have back pains? This could be result of loosened ligaments. You should immediately stop lifting weights. Backaches may never go away throughout the course of pregnancy. I am sorry but you would have to get used to it.
This is a strange one and yet happens to each and every pregnant woman on earth. Sometimes when you are pregnant, you start craving a particular type of food. It could be a cheesecake or a citrus. You start becoming hungry at odd timings or things could go reverse. You might start nauseating from cheesecakes even though you loved them before you got pregnant.
The less flattering side-effect of pregnancy: constipation and bloating. If your skinny jeans have stopped fitting in a matter of days. You feel a bit puffed up, there is a good chance that it is due to extra progesterone. The process slows down your digestive system. It is one of the early signs of pregnancy.
Are you feeling very moody? Do you get agitated by smallest of things? If you are feeling hormonal imbalance it could very well be, due to the fact that you are pregnant and have new hormones. So tell those around you that your "shocking" temper is temporary and won't last forever.
Many women measure their basal body temperature in order to know when they are ovulating. Normally, it the basal body temperature stays increased from ovulation until you get your period. But it is stays elevated for more than two weeks, you may be pregnant.
It is very common for newly pregnant women to become aversive to certain smells or become very sensitive about certain odors. You should simply stay away from smells that bother you as much as possible.
As far as movies and tele are concerned, this is the most famous symptom of pregnancy: dizziness and fainting. However, it is not a myth. Low blood sugar or blood pressure can cause dizziness of even fainting. Make sure you eat well, drink plenty of fluids and don't get dehydrated.
Did you eventually get your period? You were suspecting you were pregnant but now you know – or do you? Was your period very light? You might not be experiencing a period after all. When you are in early stages of pregnancy, the fertilized egg attaches to the uterine wall and it results in a very light and mild bleeding.
The biggest and perhaps the most conclusive sign of pregnancy is late period. If you are having PMS yet you are fairly regular in your cycle, it could mean that you are pregnant. If you missed your period, you should get tested straightaway, it is more than likely that you are going to be a mommy!
If you are experiences few of the symptoms we have mentioned above, take a pregnancy test. If you get a negative result and continue to feel symptoms and don't get your period, it is possible that it's too early for the test to detect.
It is a good idea to take tests multiple times just to be sure.

Told you it had nothing to do with anything.
Charles' article deals with money supply and the velocity of money. Familiar terms for Automatic Earth readers, though we use them in a slightly different context, that of deflation. In our definition, the interaction between the two (with credit added to money supply) is what defines inflation and deflation, which are mostly -erroneously- defined as rising or falling prices.
I don't want to get into the myriad different definitions of 'money supply', and for the subject at hand there is no need. The first FRED graph below uses TMS-2 (True Money Supply 2 consists of currency in circulation + checking accounts + sweeps of checking accounts + savings accounts). The second one uses M2 money stock. Not the same thing, but good enough for the sake of the argument.
In his piece, Charles seems to portray the two, money supply and velocity of money, as somehow being two sides of the same coin, but in a whole different way than we do. He thinks that the money supply can drive velocity up or down. And that's where I think that just ain't so. I also think he defeats his own thesis as he goes along.
Before going into details, two things: One, he doesn't mention the term deflation even once, though he shows money velocity has been going off a cliff like a mountain range and a half full of lemmings. I find that curious.
Two, he doesn't mention consumers in the context. That can't be right either. 70% of US GDP is consumers. You can't ignore that. You can't just look at financial markets, at investors, even though they use up most of the stimulus, and think they are the main factor determining money velocity. Not when they're less than a third of GDP.
Moreover, and this I think is crucial, the velocity of money talks to you about consumers in a way that the money supply never could.
There may be 'positive' reports coming out of the BLS on jobs numbers, but with 94+ million Americans not in the labor force, with the quality of jobs diminishing so fast and so profoundly that the middle class is all but disappearing, and with 40+ million US citizens on foodstamps, the impact of the deteriorating spending power of 'consumers' on money velocity had to be so enormous you can't ignore them.
I'll get back to that, but no, it is not true.
That the velocity of money has been crashing while the money supply has been exploding doesn't seem to bother the mainstream pundits. There is always a fancy-footwork explanation of why whatever is crashing no longer matters. Take a look at these two charts and tell me money velocity doesn't matter.
No argument about that from me.
First, here's money supply: notice how money supply leaped from 2001 to 2008 as the Federal Reserve pumped liquidity and credit into the economy, and then how it exploded higher as the Fed went all in after the Global Financial Meltdown.
Notice how the velocity of money remained in a mild uptrend during both good times and not so good times. The inflationary peak of 1979-1982 (Treasury yields were 16% and mortgages were 18%) generated a spike, but velocity soon returned to its uptrending channel. The speculative excesses of the dot-com era pushed velocity to unprecedented heights.
Given the extremes in velocity, it is unsurprising that it quickly fell in the dot-com bust. The Federal Reserve launched an unprecedented expansion of money, credit and liquidity that again pushed velocity up in the speculative frenzy of the housing bubble. But note that despite the vast expansion of money supply, the peak in the velocity of money was considerably lower than the dot-com peak.
OK, that's the core of why I started thinking I was sure it just ain't so. What Charles asserts here is that an expansion of the money supply lifts the velocity of money. In other words, that the velocity of both the pre-existing supply AND the additional supply increases as more supply is added. Even BECAUSE it is added. The more money, the faster it moves. The bigger you get, the faster you run.
And I don't see that. To me, it's counterintuitive. This implied correlation does not exist. The velocity of money doesn't rise when you pump more of it into an economy, it rises because people feel more confident about spending it. For whatever reason that may be.
What's happening today, and what Charles neglects to mention, is that huge amounts of Americans simply no longer have money to spend. And no matter how much extra is pumped in through QE, it fails to reach them. Moreover, they're all maxed out on debt. So even if they would get some extra, it would go towards debt repayment. And it does.
That's what the money velocity graph tells us. Velocity began to tank around 1997, and apart from the housing bubble borrowing boom, has kept tanking until now. Beware of the differences between the graphs: the first one, money supply, runs from 1986 to 2015, while the second one, velocity, covers 1960 to 2015. So you can focus on the second part of graph no.2 to get them to line up.
Since the collapse of that speculative bubble, the Fed's all-in expansion of money, credit and liquidity has failed to stem the absolutely unprecedented collapse of money velocity. Clearly, expanding money, credit and liquidity no longer generates any velocity.
That's because it never has. Expanding money, credit and liquidity has never generated any velocity. It's always been only about confidence – and private debt levels.
Rather, the inescapable conclusion is that Fed policies have effectively crashed the velocity of money.
No, that conclusion is not just not inescapable, it's flat out wrong. Unless perhaps you would mean that the policies have greatly impoverished the consumer, but that's not what Charles is saying. He doesn't mention consumers. His point seems to be that in earlier days, increases in supply did indeed lead to increases in velocity, ostensibly in the financial world.
To the extent that policies, Fed or otherwise, have tempted Americans to enter the 'investment casino', one might claim that down the road, such policies have crashed velocity. But the money supply was not rising all that much when the dot.com bubble was happening, and when the real big supply kahuna came, velocity crashed.
Not because of Fed policies, but because of debt, and of people being maxed out. And one could, if one were inclined to do so, blame that as much on the repeal of Glass-Steagall as on the Fed.
"You know how you say that the economy is locked up in fiefdoms, and they're picking winners and losers, as part of colluding the prices? Well this adjustment of prices locks out certain people, like say, the young from housing. So houses don't sell, they stagnate. But what are we really looking at? Velocity.
Velocity is an indicator that buyers and sellers agree on a price, that the price is "right" and not an outlier. That's why you see a stock move on high volume "confirming" the move, because it means the price wasn't "right" at the previous level, while more people agree the new price is fair.
If prices are allowed to go where they need to without pressure and manipulation, you will always have velocity, as the most buyers and sellers will always agree at some price. Because this is true, low velocity cannot happen in a free market.
That is half right, but only half. because it suggests that there's always a price at which people will buy. There isn't if people have no money to buy with. That's why the housing market crashed the way it did, and would be much worse to this day without ZIRP tempting people once more into foolish purchases (foolish because ZIRP distorts markets, but can't do that forever).
Which means the only reason for low velocity (in this or the previous Depressions) is that someone has somehow managed to get an edge that prevents them from selling, from liquidating, at the true price, i.e. the one the buyers will agree to.
This has another corollary, that the measure of velocity on the Fed's own chart is the measure of the level of unnatural price manipulation on the market. We can watch this aggregate indicator of their failure in real time, by the Fed's own hand, and we can know the manipulation is ending when it rises.
Sort of right, but… You can't even begin to understand the velocity of money without including what consumers have to spend. That's essentially what the velocity of money measures. What they have to spend plus how confident they are of having it to spend (again) tomorrow.
And you can throw in price manipulation, but that's not the core, though it can't be said to have zero influence. What's certain is that the connection to Fed policies is very weak, if not tenuous. The Fed didn't blow the housing bubble (money supply remained just about flat from 2005-2008), politics did.
Sounds about right, but ignores the role of millions of Americans with nothing left to spend. To repeat: 94+ million Americans not in the labor force, the quality of jobs diminishing so fast and so profoundly that the middle class is all but disappearing, and 40+ million US citizens on foodstamps.
There's what's the velocity of money graph reflects. And that part of that is due to manipulation, sure. But without including debt, the whole argument rings kind of hollow.
Thank you, Eric, for an explanation that intuitively rings true. Manipulating the PR optics (i.e. perception management) as a substitute for an open market doesn't make you omnipotent, it makes you a hubris-soaked fool.
No argument on the last sentence, but that is not the core of what 'just ain't so' here. You essentially can't tell anything from the US velocity of money without looking at the American people.
Velocity of money does not rise because -or when- the money supply does, it rises when consumer spending does. And that happens when people feel confident. No additional supply is needed for that, just for money to move faster. And money doesn't move faster just because -or when- there's more of it.

I'm trying not to wrap this all in a blanket of Neoclassical economic thinking (mostly out of fear that Steve Keen might jump out from the shadows and whack me over the head with a copy of Debunking Economics!), but my mind drifts to the 'totem' of the Supply and Demand curve, where money velocity represents the Demand side of the equation (but only in terms of money being a medium of exchange).
Without giving it any deep thought, it would seem to me that the 'price' of money falls when Supply is increased (i.e. massive credit expansion or outright money printing), but also when the Demand for money as a medium of exchange falls (i.e. when money starts to be hoarded as a store of value).
Reversely, the 'price' of money seems to increase when Supply is decreased (i.e. debt defaults or outright destruction of money) or when the Demand for money as a medium of exchange increases (i.e. when goods and/or services becomes more desirable than holding onto money as a store of value).
If any of that makes any sense then I wonder what happens when the desire/confidence to spend more and thus increase the velocity of money occurs but the money supply is insufficient to compensate? It makes me think of a saying Nicole seems to be fond of – Demand isn't what you want but what you can afford.
Back to Neoclassical economic thinking (*looks over his shoulder for Steve Keen*), it would seem what Charles is suggesting is true based on the accepted mathematical calculation for the Velocity of Money, Vt = nT/M, where Vt = the velocity of money for all transactions, nT = the nominal value for all transactions, and M = money supply.
By that I mean that nT could be staying constant (even though I'm sure you would be right in arguing that it is declining) while M is increasing, resulting in a lower velocity of money. In a purely Neoclassical economic / mathematical sense, Charles is correct that Fed policies (which have themselves increased or at least permitted the increase of the money supply) have effectively crashed the velocity of money.
It is true that velocity and supply are unrelated, but it is it true that consumers have *no* money? It's probably more true to say they have a lot *less* "money" (cash+credit) than before, as they have no confidence and stopped borrowing. That's exactly why prices have to drop. If they don't drop to a point where the new consumer — i.e. he-who-hath-little-money — can buy them, then they don't get bought. i.e. falling sales = falling exchange of money = velocity falls. But if prices were to drop enough — e.g. US houses fall from 6x income ($200k) to 1/6 income ($5k) then very probably even the new, poor worker would be able to buy one. Actually, that's what happened in the 30's Depression: in places property finally changed hands at –ZERO– value. You could own it if you could carry the taxes. Yet at that point property finally changed hands again, i.e. velocity normalized.
But a $5k property value would require the existing owner to take a $195k "loss." (quotes because it may have been a paper gain in the first place. It is, however, someone's potential collateral) To avoid that loss and instant bankruptcy, and as many are banks who hold mortgages as collateral, they arrange a variety of tricks to prevent any attempt at market clearing, (as have other monopolies, medical, cable, insurance…) Then prices don't fall, property doesn't sell, and money then doesn't change hands. That is to say, velocity is crippled. At $5,000 houses and 50c steaks, I wager money and property would start changing hands again. Even at a median income of $30k, with 100M Americans not in workforce. Prices would fall in line with wages, because without debt, one or the other must converge.
The point is, at *some* price, everything will sell. So why are the sellers in charge of the prices? Why not the buyers? The sellers are stuck with the property and the carrying costs, without a buyer, their only option is to give it away for $0. So surely it's the buyers who have the real power whether they are freely willing to buy or not? It's buyers who make velocity and sellers who prevent it by holding out. So if you have an economy where all the political power is held by capital owners, i.e. the status quo, and little is held by the general public, i.e. workers and consumers, then the general public eventually goes on strike: they don't buy anything. Capital owners demand them to buy, to buy healthcare or else, hand over their bank deposits with bail-ins, but as in Greece, that only makes them buy less out of protection and uncertainty. So we have one side forcing prices up politically, forcing sales to occur at gunpoint, and the other side hiding from them. The "hiding from them" part is velocity, as we see in Greece. I bet there's a lot of money still in Greek cookie jars, a lot of capital tools in idle factories, a number of assets as collateral to borrow against, but everyone's in hiding. As their capital is in hiding.
These "capital hiders/hoarders" are the buyers. Until the prices fall to where the buyers feel safe buying, there is no velocity. Ever. 70 years in the Soviet Union. 700 years in the middle ages. Until you can get a fair price, one buyers agree to, who know they have property rights after the purchase, you will have no velocity. Why would you take precious capital out of hiding to overpay for assets that can be stolen because there's no rule of law? Ever? Even at gunpoint, in Kiev or Sarajevo, at swordpoint in Rome, they buried the coins and the hordes are still being dug up. Velocity will normalize when there is again a *fair* exchange of buyers and sellers, without violence, coercion or price-fixing. Until then, you no longer have markets and the economy will remain crippled, forever, until it is fixed.
As Ilargi says, you have a political problem, not a financial problem. Or put another way, you have a violence problem.
I think the velocity graph says plenty to prove the Neoclassical theory wrong. Put it this way: there's nothing that says velocity has any direct connection with supply. It can go up or down while supply goes the opposite direction.
Yeah, Charles' reader is not all wrong, there's always a point at which 'trade' can start up again. Even if increasing amounts of people are locked out, there'll be some who are not. But when homes can only trade at for example 1% of their building costs ($1000-$5000), we have a problem way beyond Houston. Detroit did it, though.. What I'm trying to say is that such a purely theoretical view is of little value out there. 'There's always some point ' means little if that point would bring down the entire economy.
I hate the word confidence in relation to economics. I'm not disputing IM when I say that it isn't confidence with drives spending and velocity, it's money. Confidence doesn't drive spending, it is the other way around. Money in hand raises confidence.
One is falling into a trap when you bring "confidence" into the discussion. The very trap Economics has fallen into. Again I don't want to argue with IM but I think it is more than just semantics to raise this point. "Confidence" is a red herring, as we say in the USA. It is a show me the money economy.
The money is trapped in the financial economy. In the old days when bank loans were the largest source of credit by far then the credit cycle did first see financial asset prices turn up first as credit expanded but the real people economy soon followed. Now so much credit goes directly into financial and other assets, and stays there. It isn't a 'confidence' economy it is a show me the money economy. Confidence is the result of more money, not the other way around.
On a deeper level it would be insane to want people in the rich developed world to want to spend more on stuff. We have enough stuff, poorly distributed to be sure. Evan at that however, and sadly borrowing a page from the reactionary right, even our poor are rich, by any historic standard. Economics isn't going to save us.
I think the reason velocity is going down is because the money supply is growing disproportionately to transactions and gnp thanks to QE.
Think about it. There's something like an extra 4 trillion dollars sit in bank reserves doing nothing thanks to the Fed. Take away that money supply and the velocity of money wouldn't be crashing the way it is.
In other words I don't think velocity of money crashing tells us much about the health or illness of the consumer.
In fact just taking another glance at the graphs above, look at the correlation between money supply growth and the crash in velocity…sorry illargi but I think chs is right. The fed has crashed the velocity of money. It doesn't matter though because there are many other stats that show that the American consumer by and large is massively suffering. Isn't the middle class now a minority for the first time in decades.
People for whom money "burns a hole in their pocket", like my son, would be the velocity folks, gunning the throttle until the tank is empty. My daughter, on the other hand, would save – be more tempered in her use. That isn't necessarily a brake. If it went into a bank, when banks actually needed deposits, it would be available for others that wanted to rent it. Credit is treated as money – and it used to be that, when its source was the savings of others.
When credit extension creates money – the item value may be overstated (list price) and the interest adds to the profit. So a dollar down gets you a new car or whatever. Cash price that day might be $500, but with credit it might be $600 or more. Worth it in many circumstances, providing you have the income to pay off the principle and interest. The old rule of 78s gave the pre-payment penalty – extension of credit has costs. Vendor financing – GM, Sears, GE made finance the profit center.
All this was useful when people managed their debt – and had savings. No over extension in terms of ability to repay. In home buying, the house was not an investment, but where you lived. If paid off by retirement, then only taxes and maintenance had to be covered. Most U.S. housing stock since the 1950's was built for single family ownership, not rental. S-F housing is high maintenance – yardwork required; not the best style for people who move. Renters, being deemed not as good as homeowners, in some cases you couldn't be on the planning commission or on a jury if you were not a property owner, that housing stock was unwanted. The high unefficiency of the American housing stock is one reason it is so expensive. Banks wanted zoning since the 1930's to protect housing value so longer term loans could be made. The separation of uses to enable this created the unwalkable distances of the now entirely automobile dependent society.
Somewhere in the 1980's – 90's, the economy shifted on debt from repay to re-fi(nance). The debt creating and recycling economy came into being. Costs rose faster than wages, so the difference was made up with credit. The more debt you had, the more you could get. As the finance fees, more than interest, was the income source, the more the better as far as the financial folks were concerned. Failure of individuals and households to be able to repay was fodder to raise interest rates beyond usury standards. That the vendors were being fraudulent in extending credit and should have had higher standards, well that wasn't even a thought for those whose PRODUCT IS DEBT. (Apologies for shouting).
So, I believe it is one of the basic thoughts of Nicole and The Automatic Earth that there is more debt, more claim on assets, than there are assets in the physical world. The living assets, debt slaves yet unaware of their condtion, will produce for quite a long time. The balance sheet method of accounting, rather than cash, can easily be balanced by the insertion of an asset valuation equal to or larger than the debt.
Treading water is the velocity? Economies will shrink to the sustainable.

This is the second installment of Tales from the Tirol.
So what do the Tirol and fly fishing have to do with one another? Nothing, as I painfully learned. I am a fly fisherman by birthright and 60 years of uninterrupted practice. It is a practice that has not made me perfect by a long shot but one that has nonetheless provided my soul with needed restoration throughout my life.
When we arrived in our new home in the South Tirol twelve years ago, I brought a complete complement of 16 fly rods and at least a half dozen of every fly pattern known to man. I figure that at least 15 percent of our entire shipping weight was comprised of fishing stuff. And now, it has all been re-shipped back to the United States. What happened in between? The answer in short is that I learned three very important things.
The first lesson was simple. I immediately learned that people don't fly fish in Europe to any real great extent. Yes, there are a few but very few indeed. Why? The answer is simple: It costs too much to fish. One has to obtain a lifetime fishing license which is easy enough, but then comes the kicker. You also have to buy a Tageskarte or permesso di giorgno (day permit) in advance for each section of each river you intend to fish. These day permits range from 15 to 20 Euro ($20 to $26) apiece, so after I did the math I was able to answer the question very quickly. Nobody including me has the dough!
The second thing I learned is that comparing northern Italy's waters to those of our previous home in Oregon is like pitting David against Goliath sans the slingshot. The streams in this part of Italy are very steep and were stripped of most of their native fisheries centuries ago by greedy counts and feuding municipalities. Stocking programs are scarce and are reserved for the most part for plunking lakes where a fellow in his eighties can go to sleep in a chair and eventually awake with dinner on the end of his line. There's nothing quite as yummy as a factory fish after all!
The third thing I learned was a bit more complex. Often after coming home from an unproductive day hurling flies at stubborn European trout, I would muse at memories from my past in California and Oregon and specifically the many streams that I had fished in both locations. It wasn't just the raw juxtaposition of fishing venues; rather, I was beginning to see a heretofore unseen path on which my fishing had taken me. By my recollection, I began to fish when I was perhaps four or five years old. Fly fishing in particular was the name of the game and I was instructed by one of the very best, my father. In my new home in Italy, my mind shuffled through the years that I had spent with rod in hand. The things that immediately jumped out of these thoughts were not the fish but rather the people whom I had spent time with while fishing. This may seem like a silly epiphany to arrive at after over a half a century but I was bolstered by finding my way on life's path again and so I set about writing a new book, The Blackest of Canyons, to convey the trip I had been on but had only recently fully appreciated. Here, high in the Tirol, the footsteps of my past finally found the hidden path. Sometimes, you just have to get out of your own way to understand.
This book is available on Amazon.com as an e-book for only $2.99. The print version will be available internationally in the fall of 2014. You can reach me anytime at www.allenrizzi.weebly.com where you can also find a complete book listing and other information.


Metra passengers who leave from the north suburban Winnetka station will no longer be able to buy tickets at its ticket office after Feb. 22, the transit agency said.
Instead, they can use the Ventra smartphone app or pay cash to on-board conductors for one-way tickets, according to a Wednesday news release from Metra. The free app can be downloaded through Apple's App Store or Google Play.
Other ticket offices in the nearby Wilmette, Evanston Davis, Evanston Central and Highland Park stations will remain open, Metra said.
Metra cited low use of its Winnetka's ticket office, which sells the fewest tickets at a staffed station of the entire system.
The closure follows other shutterings of suburban ticket offices as those sales decline amid the rise of the Ventra app, Metra said. About 43 percent of Metra passengers buy tickets through the smartphone app now.

Application All pertinent documentation is obtained. Fees and down payments are discussed and you will receive a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) and a Truth-in Lending (TIL) statement which will itemize the rates and associated costs for the loan.
Loan Submission Once all the necessary documents are submitted, your completed file is submitted to a lender to approval.
Loan Approval (Underwriting) This step generally takes 24 to 72 hours and all parties are notified of the approval and any loan conditions that must be received before the loan can close.
Closing Once all parties have signed the loan documents, they are returned to the lender. If all the forms have been properly executed, the lender sends the loan funds by wire transfer. At this point, the borrower finishes the loan process and actually buys the house.

Q: ASP GridView with Hover Menu, determining row that calls popup I have a GridView bound to an object datasource and a hover menu extender over that. On the panel that pops up I have two buttons - one for delete and one for edit. The problem I'm having is identifying which row triggered the hover menu so I know what to delete. I've searched all over the site and found similar issues but I wasn't able to apply them properly. I followed this video, and was able to get a hidden field to maintain the ID but only of the last row that was created, so my delete button always removed the last entry. I hope that was somewhat clear..
Here is my gridview code:
            <asp:GridView runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False"

Q: Fire Serverside event from javascript i have hiddentfield whose value is changing on javascript.
I just wanted to fire serverside event valuechanged event of hiddenfield when its value changed from javascript.
I tried with :
__doPostBack('hfLatitude', 'ValueChanged');

But giving me error :
Microsoft JScript runtime error: '__doPostBack' is undefined

Is there any other alternative for this?
Please help me.

A: In javascript, changes in value to hidden elements don't automatically fire the "onchange" event. So you have to manually trigger your code that is already executing on postback using "GetPostBackEventReference".
So, with a classic javascript approach, your code should look something like in the example below.
In your aspx/ascx file:
    <asp:HiddenField runat="server" ID="hID" OnValueChanged="hID_ValueChanged" Value="Old Value" />
    <asp:Literal runat="server" ID="litMessage"></asp:Literal>
    <asp:Button runat="server" ID="btnClientChage" Text="Change hidden value" OnClientClick="ChangeValue(); return false;" />

    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

        function ChangeValue()
        {
            document.getElementById("<%=hID.ClientID%>").value = "New Value";
            // you have to add the line below, because the last line of the js code at the bottom doesn't work
            fValueChanged();
        }

        function fValueChanged()
        {
            <%=this.Page.GetPostBackEventReference(hID, "")%>;
        }

        // the line below doesn't work, this is why you need to manually trigger the fValueChanged methiod
        // document.getElementById("<%=hID.ClientID%>").onchange = fValueChanged;

    </script>

In your cs file:
protected void hID_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    litMessage.Text = @"Changed to '" + hID.Value + @"'";
}

A: First way is to use HiddenField.ValueChanged Event.
If you want to also watch this varible in Client Side just use this:
    $('#hidden_input').change(function() {
     alert('value changed');
});

Second way is to assign value to Varible:
$('#hidden_input').val('new_value').trigger('change');

A: Quick and Dirty:
Simply put a asp button on form. Set it display:none.
<asp:Button id="xyx" runat="server" style="display:none" OnClick="xyx_Click" />

On its click event call any server side event.
protected void xyx_Click(o,e)
{
   //you server side statements
}

To call its from JS use as below:
<script>

function myserverside_call()
{
var o = document.getElementById('<%=xyx.ClientID%>');
o.click();
}

function anyotherjsfunc()
{
   //some statements
   myserverside_call();
}
</script>

Q: How to trigger a javascript function when "Processing Math" in MathJax reaches 100% I would like to call a javascript Print() function when the js library MathJax finishes to process the visited web page.
At the moment the Print() function is triggered using onload but it seems to stop the Processing Math task of MathJax (demo here); users need to dismiss the browser's Print pop-up to lets MathJax finishes its processing.
I would like to be able to call Print() just when Processing Math in MathJax reaches 100%.
Any ideas?

A: The MathJax message area has a delay before it is removed so that you can actually read it.  The Print() call apparently blocks the javascript that would have removed the message.  So you need to add a delay of your own before running Print().  I think the message delay is 600 ms, so if you change your
MathJax.Hub.Queue(Print);

call to
MathJax.Hub.Queue(
  ["Delay",MathJax.Callback,700],
  Print
);

then that should delay your Print() call until after the message is removed.
Davide

A: Push the Print command onto the MathJax processing queue so that it will be called after MathJax finishes typesetting the page.  E.g.,
MathJax.Hub.Queue(Print);

or
MathJax.Hub.Queue(function () {
  // do stuff here
  Print();
});

See the documentation at
http://www.mathjax.org/resources/docs/?queues.html#the-mathjax-processing-queue
for more details.


A simple theoreticalanalysis shows that the linewidth of the conjugate wave produced in four‐wave mixing in semiconductor lasers is equal to the linewidth of the probe plus four times the linewidth of the pump. Experimental results in good agreement with the theory are presented. This result implies an enormous enhancement in the phase noise of the conjugate wave and sets a limitation on some practical applications of four‐wave mixing.

Living in Mountains versus Trekking
It's one thing to live in proper towns in mountains and totally different thing to actually trek to the mountain tops. To understand this better, one has to challenge oneself to try doing it once. Travelling is my way of knowing life closely. Trekking is a new addition; it's difficult though. But now that I have tasted the flavour and tested myself enough, certain goal setting has been done. In this post I am going to share five treks in Himalayas that I am determined to go on before I turn Forty- Shrikhand, Kinner Kailash, Chandernahan, ManiMahesh, Churdhar!
Shrikhand Mahadev
This peak lies in Kullu region. Shrikhand is a pilgrimage place for Hindus and is associated with the legend of Shiva. It is said that at this place Ravana, the staunch devout of Shiva, decapitated his heads to attain a boon of immortality. Shri Khand could be the deviation of 'Sir Khandan'. There is a 75 feet long natural Shivlingam at top. The Peak is at an elevation of 5227m or 18570 feet above the sea level.
PC: himachaltouristplaces.com
The trek is 35 km long and starts from Jaon village in Nirmand. Because of the critical weather conditions the trek officially opens only for a limited time period of 15-20 days i.e. 15 july to 31 july. Shrikhand Trek is said to be one of the toughest treks in Himachal.
Kinner Kailash
Situated in Kinnaur district of the state, the peak is said to be the winter abode of lord Shiva. There is a 79 feet natural Shivalingam on mountain top.
PC: hotelrollingrang.com
Annual Yatras are organized for the natives to seek blessings of lord Shiva in the monsoon season (July end to August end). Kinner Kailash peak is situated at an elevation of 6050 m. The trek to mount Kinner Kailash is pure ascent of 35 km which makes it quite a grueling affair. It is ideally a two-day trek from Reckong Peo, the head quarter of Kinnaur district which can be reached by road easily.
Chandernahan lake trek
The origin point of emerald river Pabbar, Chandernahan Lake is located in the inner mountains of Shimla district at an elevation of 4200 m (13860 feet). The trek is advised during the period between mid April to mid October.
PC: himlayanfootslog
The 20 km long trek to Chandernahan lake starts from village Tangnu near Rohru town and is ideally completed in 10 hrs. The lake is associated with Goddess Kali.
Mani Mahesh Lake
Manimahesh Lake, this lake is situated in Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh and holds a high place for the natives due to it's connection with Shiva and his consort Parvati. There is a peak called Mount Kailash which is said to be the home of lord Shiva again and is possibly invincible i.e. no one has scaled it till now and those who have tried as per legend, lost their lives in one or the other way. Annual Yatras are officially organized to the holy lake and many adventure enthusiasts also join the religious folks to ManiMahesh lake.
PC: birbilling.com
Trek to ManiMahesh Lake starts from Hadsar village (13 km from Bharmour) till there one can use road facility. The lake is situated at a height of 4080 m (13000 ft) whereas the peak is 18564 above the sea level. Every year the holy Yatra starts on the day of Rakshbandhan. The trek is 13 km long and requires two days to be done.
Churdhar Peak
Churdhar peak is the highest peak in the outer Himalayas at an elevation of 3655m. It is the abode of Shirgul Mahadev, locally also known as Chudeshwar Mahadev.
There is a 500-year-old temple dedicated to the deity in the lap of the mountain range. The peak can be approached from more than one side. I feel proud to say that this peak has been conquered recently. A detailed post will soon be up.
Basically, out of the five, I have started with moderate trek of Churdhar trek first and that too with a kid. Believe me, it wasn't painless and I still become uneasy when the thought of unending ascent crosses my mind. But the realizations post the trek has changed something within and out.
Here is to new heights.

"When I first began to design our multiple scale (fan fret) guitars, logically I thought it would increase the depth of bass response - similar to the way a grand piano does due partly to the longer string length. Some folk had mentioned to me that the tuning would be more accurate. I had trouble seeing how that could be and when the time came to test it out ….. the tuning accuracy was similar to a normal single scale guitar but the bass response was indeed deeper. Then of course logically I began to think a Wee Lowden with the smaller soundbox (already voiced for extra bass) would be even better as a fan fret and the bass would be even deeper than our single scale Wee Lowden. It has turned out to be true - not a day and night difference - more subtle but definitely there!"

CHRIS PHILP: Madness to lose expertise of Royal Free stroke unit
Every year, 250 people are treated by the Royal Free s specialist stroke Unit. It is one of the best in the country. In fact, according to a recent study by the Royal College of Physicians, it is the best unit in the UK. The Royal Free has developed a uni
Every year, 250 people are treated by the Royal Free's specialist stroke Unit. It is one of the best in the country. In fact, according to a recent study by the Royal College of Physicians, it is the best unit in the UK.
The Royal Free has developed a unique new approach for stroke and heart attack patients - basing treatment around tackling the underlying 'thromboembolism'. A paper submitted to the Royal Free's board last month said their approach is "novel, highly effective and could be a future model for every local hospital". And let's be clear about the importance of this: strokes are the third largest killer in the UK, causing 60,000 deaths per year.
So what are the Government plans for the country's leading stroke unit, which is pioneering a whole new way of treating one of the country's biggest killers? Expand it? Use it as a model for other hospitals? Give it more funding? No. None of these things. The Government plans to scale it down, and move the most important parts of the service - the crucial initial treatment - elsewhere. To UCH, to be precise, in the south of the borough. Needless to say, UCH's stroke unit is not as highly-rated as the Royal Free's.
This plan is worrying for several reasons. Let's start with the two most obvious. Firstly, it's staggering to learn that the country's most successful stroke unit is about to be downgraded. Secondly, it means that journey times for patients in places like Hampstead, Highgate, West Hampstead and Fortune Green to their first treatment will be much longer. Patients coming in from Barnet and south Herts (as some do) will face even longer journeys. This is critical when every minute makes a difference.
There is a third problem too. Under the Government's plan, London will have eight specialist stroke centres. The Royal Free will not be one of them, despite its incredible track record. London will also have three or four new specialist trauma centres, and it may be that the Royal Free is not one either. If this happens, the Royal Free's status as a leading research, teaching and general hospital may be uncertain. It would be easier for future bureaucrats to argue that the Royal Free is no longer a centre of specialism and cutting edge medicine, and withdraw further services, leaving it vulnerable.
It is important that we have a leading hospital in our area. Many residents, especially our more elderly neighbours, depend on it. And we have paid for this service. I estimate that residents of the north half of Camden pay a total of about �2.2 billion per year in tax. I think that's enough to justify keeping cutting-edge stroke services local.

10 'Buddhism or biscuits? From toy designer to a Hampstead Unitarian minister'
It may suit the bureaucrats to downgrade the country's best stroke unit, but it doesn't suit local people. We don't want to have to travel further for time-critical treatment. We don't want to see the UK's best stroke centre marginalised. And we don't want our local hospital undermined.
This brings me to my main point. This episode illustrates a wider problem with the way public services have been run in the last 10 years. The Government believes its army of expensive bureaucrats know how best to run services like education and hospitals. I disagree. I think doctors and front line specialists - like the ones who created the Royal Free's innovative approach to stroke treatment - do a much better job. The choices made by users (in this case, patients) should determine which services expand and which do not. In this case, I think we'd choose to keep the UK's best stroke service open.
The same is true in education. For example, we desperately need a new primary school serving Belsize Park and Swiss Cottage. Yet central government regulations and interference make it very hard for the local council or local parents to set one up.
It's time to trust professionals on the frontline - such as doctors and teachers. It's time to trust local people to make choices for themselves. Service providers would then respond to these choices, not to the bureaucrat's diktats. If we make this change, the age of the centralised statist bureaucracy could soon be over. Our services will be better for it - the Royal Free included.

When did those awkward, tormented creatures known as teenagers first crawl out of the primordial ooze and into American culture? Believe it or not, they didn't always exist. It was not until World War II, with grown men off fighting and grown women working in factories, that adolescents were left idle and unsupervised long enough to wreak havoc. In the forties, fifties, and sixties a new breed of youth evolved -- the juvenile delinquent -- and this state of emergency was quickly dramatized in every cultural medium. In Teenage Confidential, Michael Barson and Steve Heller conduct a guided tour through three decades of teen angst, displayed in shocking Technicolor on movie posters, paperbacks, comic books, advertising art, television shows, and Top Forty music paraphernalia. From Father Knows Best to Youth Runs Wild, this unflinching survey spotlights the sordid ways of our rebel youth.

The Newly-Announced Alserkal Arts Foundation To Foster Creative Development Through Grants

In the 11 years since Abdelmonem Bin Eisa Alserkal founded Alserkal Avenue, Dubai's foremost cultural destination, the visual art scene has blossomed in the United Arab Emirates, cultivating art in the region both locally and internationally, while attracting some of the world's top creatives to showcase their work in the Middle East. The hub, a collection of industrial buildings located in Al Quoz, a neighborhood situated in Western Dubai, attracted a number of galleries when it first opened, including The Third Line, Ayyam Gallery, and Carbon 12, turning it into a cultural district. "When we founded Alserkal we wanted to create a positive social impact and make a meaningful introduction to arts and culture in the United Arab Emirates and around the region," said Alserkal in a speech on March 18.
Since 2008, Alserkal and his team have helped fund a number of visual arts collaborations between the cultural district and institutions like the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and The Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice. In 2017, it launched Concrete, a multidisciplinary space that allows for museum quality exhibitions to be shown there, and the first building in Dubai by Rem Koolhaas's Office of Metropolitan Architecture. Alserkal Avenue also invited artists and creatives from around the world to get to know Dubai and the region through its on-site residency program. Alserkal decided to put all his efforts into one place, so he established the non-profit Alserkal Arts Foundation, which was announced on March 18. "This progress led to commissions, to Concrete, to the residency, so the natural progress is to have it all under the umbrella of the foundation," said Alserkal.
"The Alserkal Arts Foundation supports socially engaged, multi-disciplinary practices and facilitates cross-cultural exchange through its four core initiatives: public art commissions, residencies, research grants, and educational programmes," reads the foundation's mission statement. "The Foundation offers cultural practitioners—either based in Dubai—or whose practice critically investigates themes pertinent to the region's artistic community—opportunities for research, scholarship, and artistic production."

Along with residencies and programming, the foundation introduces grants of up to $10,000 to both established and emerging cultural practitioners in all areas "who demonstrate a strong interest in pursuing broad, intersectional, and experimental approaches to research in their respective fields." The application period for the 2020 grants runs from October 1, 2019 until January 31, 2020. Grants for individuals will be up to $5,000, and for duos and collectives, $10,000. The first recipients of the grants will be announced in fall 2020.
"The idea was, how we can support participatory, ephemeral, conceptual work?" explained Alserkal Avenue director Vilma Jurkute. "To date we've welcomed urbanists, geographers—we had our first writer in residence. This interdisciplinary dialogue that's now been evolving is something that we wanted to grow into an official commitment."
Both Alserkal and Jurkute hope that the foundation will continue to change Dubai's reputation for being a city known for brand-new skyscrapers and a healthy appetite for luxury consumption to one that is known for being a cultural producer. "I see it as an opportunity to show that Dubai can be there at the international scene, that Dubai has the caliber, has the talent, to be on the international scene, and I think we are privileged as a team, as a family, as Alserkal Avenue, that we are playing this role, and enabling Dubai to try to among the conceptions, to give the opposite Dubai." said Alserkal. "It is also ready for a new type of conversation," added Jurkute.
"For more in depth conversation, in terms of architecture, the heritage that we are building that's of tomorrow, I think the communities that are being created here. It was always here."
"Arts and culture encourages curiosity, critical thinking, dialogue—and most importantly tolerance," said Alserkal in his announcement speech on March 18. "It enables us to build bridges at home and around the world." The Alserkal Arts Foundation will continue to build those bridges between Dubai and the rest of the world, allowing for new groups of dreamers to bring their projects to life.

Wirral to host Tour Series and Tour of Britain cycling events in 2019
on February 1, 2019 2 min read
The OVO Energy Tour Series and Tour of Britain will both head to Wirral this year as a part of the area's celebrations as the Liverpool City Region's Borough of Culture for 2019. It will be the first time that Wirral has hosted either of the events.
May's OVO Energy Tour Series round will take place in Birkenhead on Tuesday 21 May using a circuit based around Hamilton Square and features both men's and women's races. It will be the first time since 2010 that a round of the unique, team based OVO Energy Tour Series has taken place on Merseyside.
Wirral will also host the OVO Energy Tour of Britain, the UK's most prestigious professional cycle race, this September.
Details of the stage, one that will see the world's top teams and riders heading to Wirral, and the exact date for the race will be announced, as part of the full national launch in the spring. The Wirral stage will mark a return for the OVO Energy Tour of Britain to Merseyside for the first time since 2014.
Cllr Phil Davies, leader of Wirral Council, said: "This is incredibly exciting news. We can't wait to welcome the Tour of Britain to Wirral. To get the chance to play host to a global sporting event, in the middle of our Borough of Culture year, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity which we just could not miss. I am delighted we've been able to make it happen.
"The Tour of Britain is broadcast around the world and to have Wirral and Birkenhead centre stage is a huge honour. I know Wirral residents will share my excitement and I am just thrilled they will have the chance to see this event for themselves and make memories with their families which will stay with them forever."
Both organised and promoted by SweetSpot Group, the OVO Energy Tour Series and Tour of Britain are broadcast on ITV4 and around the world, and will attract a six-figure spectator attendance across the two days of activities.
"We are delighted to be working with our partners at Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council and are excited to have the opportunity to be a part of their plans for the year as Liverpool City Region Borough of Culture," said Race Director Mick Bennett.
"The OVO Energy Tour Series and Tour of Britain will give cycling fans from across the North West of England and North Wales the chance to see two, action packed days of cycling free of charge. We hope that the opportunity to witness first hand these events in Wirral will inspire many more people to get on their bikes and be more active, but also to celebrate the culture of their home area."
As well as being an unticketed, free-to-attend event, the OVO Energy Tour Series is unique in the world of cycling, as the focus in both the men's and women's competition is on the teams, who battle for the overall title based on the performance of all five of their riders in each round. The Series celebrated its ten-year anniversary and 100th event in Salisbury in May 2018.
Highlights of the OVO Energy Tour Series are screened on ITV4 and broadcast around the world, while event day will provide the opportunity for a range of community and cycling activities to take place on the closed road circuit at the heart of Birkenhead.
Further details of the OVO Energy Tour Series for 2019, including the participating teams and riders, will be announced in the coming weeks.

My eyes filled with tears. It's clear that he likes you. A sense of trouble ahead oppressed his spirits. Edmond gave Nils a lift to work. I don't like being shot at. I have three tickets for it. Avery said you were his friend. I think you'll have fun at Leo's party. I imagine that Cindy will eventually figure out that Izzy doesn't really like him. Is it true that Hungarians hate the number seven?
Your criticism is unfounded. Where was Rodney imprisoned? One of the boys who died was named Jisheng. This vast continent is abundant in fossil fuels. Nathan is outspoken. Where are the most beautiful sentences? Simplicity of life, even the barest, is not a misery, but the very foundation of refinement. You can tell me all about that some other time. I broke my gas-powered rice cooker so I got an induction rice cooker instead. There's nothing here for us.
I don't think Marian is going to need our help. Statutory law is written and passed by a legislature. She called him. Mass immigration enabled the United States to make use of their enormous resources and smash the industrial monopoly of European countries at the end of the nineteenth century. Your telephone's ringing. I knew you'd like that. They aren't putting on shoes. Everybody in this world has to cope with a lot of difficulties. Look at the fire. To speak frankly, I think he is a good boss.
I don't have a job. It would be better for you to stay in bed today. Elisabeth is using an external hard drive. Derailments are very rare in this country. It constantly appalls me how stupid he can be. I wanted to speak with you first. Christopher had a bariatric surgery. I'm proud of our team. Anderson was like a son to me. Noam is a fashion designer.
You know how hard it can be to convince Lucifer to do anything. He seemed unconscious of my presence. What a nice friend you are! It is not enough to defeat our external enemies, it is also necessary to exterminate our internal enemies. I've seen this happen once or twice. They are far from happy. You're tough but fair. Kerry pulled out a map. Don't move a muscle. Everybody stay frozen. There is my answer to your question.
Germania is a cold land. Look up these words in the dictionary. We're not blaming him. Grab him. Why don't you leave Sherri alone? Through his own efforts and a bit of luck, he won first prize in the contest. Also, a lot of houses were damaged; windows were often broken throughout the town. Hang on a while! A couple more! It's unthinkable that you would sunbathe, naked, on this balcony.
Phill claims that he was in Boston the night Phillip was murdered. I brought some wine. I need to find a flat to rent in Barcelona. I have to lose weight. I'm staying here for a little while. We have to turn back. I had breakfast. We stopped for a sandwich. You did talk to Prakash, right? Numerology is like schizophrenia.
I need to speak to them now. It snows there. She is unbeaten at that video game. Trevor didn't want to seem shy. The door would not open. Say no to racism. She paid the dressmaker for her dress. It is cool after the rain. Dorian is opportunistic, isn't he? Did you buy everything we need for our party?
We have a stressful day ahead of us. It's not what you say, but what you do that counts. Nadeem Jackson's new novel is very well written and I'm sure you'll enjoy reading it. Give me your hands. What a disagreeable fellow he is! By the way, do you think that when you die that's it? Hopefully, everything will be OK. The sea has risen, the sea of peoples. If you hadn't interfered, we wouldn't have had any problems. A certain girl was a prostitute but didn't want her grandma to know.
What a big boy he is! No. I have been looking for them for more than one hour. I asked Joshua what he wanted for Christmas. I want you to hear this. Are you serious? It looks to me like you're crazy. Lewis knows why Think decided not to go on the picnic with John. I'm enjoying the challenge. It's a question of will power. I could not help but state my opinion. Bet you thought we were all done talking about the lesson?
