Beautitude is beauty, fashion and lifestyle blog by Amie Edmonds. Predominantly beauty, it's a source of information for beauty products reviews, ideas, and fashion inspiration, with a few lifestyle posts thrown into the mix.
So, for a little bit about me myself: I say the words 'gal' and 'fab' far too often, my hair never goes the way I want it to, I'm forever wearing fake tan and I get hangry way too often.
I'm a self confessed makeup junkie, I've always loved reading beauty reviews and spending hours online window shopping and putting outfits together. As well as that, I love writing (in my own kind of way) and I'm always constantly on social media anyway. So all of these things (and procrastinating studying for my first set of college exams), ended up in me hitting publish on my very first blog post on Beautitude. The name 'Beautitude' is a mix of beauty and attitude – I may have had a bit of help with that one!
Any product reviews or posts I write are always 100% honest – but what works for me might not work for someone else and vice versaaaa. I don't get paid for any kind of posts (I'm not exactly an "influencer") but if I ever get sent anything I'll always say it in reviews. There's nothing worse than a review that is blatantly biased or fake – you won't find any of that here.
I'm an Instagram addict, so you'll always catch me posting blog pictures, beauty products – a lot of those, quotes and a coffee here and there! I'm obsessed with eyebrows, nails and big lashes.
Keep a look out for beauty tips and reviews, and fashion inspiration here on beautitude.ie, over on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest.

Q: Multiplication of diagonal and invertible matrices Say that $A$ is a square invertible matrix and $N$ is a non-diagonal matrix? Is $ANA^{-1}$ also a non-diagonal matrix? Suppose that $N$ is a non-diagonal nilpotent operator such that $N^m = 0$. Then is $e^{N} = \sum_{j=0}^{m} \frac{N^{j}}{j!}$ a non-diagonal matrix?`

A: Take $N=\begin{pmatrix}0&1\\1&0\end{pmatrix}$ and $A=\begin{pmatrix}-1&1\\1&1\end{pmatrix}$.

If $N$ is nilpotent, then there is $A$ invertible, such that $M=ANA^{-1}$ has zeros everywhere except for some $1$s right on top of the main diagonal. Then $e^N=A^{-1}e^MA$. Observe that $e^M$ has non-zero entries only strictly above the main diagonal and has diagonal $1$ all along. Therefore, its only eigenvalue is $1$. However, its corresponding eigenspace doesn't have full dimension, unless $e^M-I=0$, which happens only if $M=0$ (Observe how powers of $M$ have the $1$s shifted further up to a higher diagonal). Therefore, $e^N$ is only diagonal if and only if $N=0$. This is excluded by the condition that $N$ is asked to be non-diagonal.

We have had the privilege to feature the writings of DidsburyCelt who has taken us through his decades of supporting Celtic on The Celtic Starover the past 8 months or so.
I was born into an east end of Glasgow (Shettleston) Catholic, Celtic supporting family on 22 February 1947.
My earliest Celtic memory was wakening on the morning of 21 May 1953 to great celebration. The previous evening we had won The Coronation Cup maintaining our proud record of being successful in one-off tournaments. The house was still buzzing as was my grandmother's across the close.
Sadly he was correct. Early in the 1966-67 season was the occasion! Of course that was our annus mirabilis but more of that later. The only other match I can recall seeing in 1954-55 was the second last league fixture against Aberdeen who had already won the title. We applauded them onto the pitch and then beat them 2-1.
John Bonnar made what to me as an eight-year-old was an amazing save. He was well out of his goal but still in his penalty area when an Aberdeen player took a long pot shot which was going over his head and looked sure to find the net. John was relatively small for a goalkeeper. He stretched up and touched the ball with his finger tips and so managed to give it just enough extra height to clear the bar.
The season ended in disaster. At home I watched the first ever televised Scottish Cup final. We drew 1–1 with Clyde by conceding a last minute equaliser and lost the replay 1-0. The first of many bitter memories.
On 27 October 1956 I sat in the North Stand (for old timers like me the high stand) at Hampden and watched a 0-0 draw against Partick Thistle in our first ever League Cup Final. We won the replay 3-0 but I as unable to attend. It was played in the afternoon because Hampden Park did not have floodlights at the time. Of course I was at school.
Saturday 19 October 1957 was a red letter day touched with a little disappointment. I begged my father to take me to Hampden but he felt that at only 10 an Old Firm League Cup Final was not for me. We listened to commentary of the last 30 minutes on the radio (how things have changed) and revelled as we won 7-1. "Oh, Hampden in the sun, Celtic 7 Rangers 1…" A glorious, glorious day; never to be forgotten!
I must have started going to matches regularly in the 1958-59 season with my mates from St. Mungo's Academy. Certainly for family reasons my father could not take me. I recall clearly being at Love Street Paisley on 13 February 1960 when we drew a Scottish Cup tie 1-1 with St. Mirren.
On the Wednesday week we were in big trouble at half time and were out for the second half way ahead of the visitors no doubt having had our backsides kicked. We pounded them in the second half and with stoppage time looming were still a goal down but in reference to the next round the cry from the terracing was, "Who's going to Elgin? We are!" Yes we did go to Elgin but only after a 5-2 victory in the second replay with Neil Mochan scoring all our goals. I didn't go to Elgin but we scraped through after being a goal down with six minutes to go. We defeated Partick Thistle 2 – 0 in the next round but after a 1 – 1 draw with Rangers in the semi-final we lost 1 – 4 in the replay.
Not a great start to my times watching Celtic and while there were many disappointments to come the highs have been wonderful and many. Almost sixty years on my heart still beats for Celtic and from time to time I have a few reminisces with my three sons who although all born in Manchester are Celtic mad.

Q: Basic Syntax vs SQL Command -- Formula Crystal Reports I am trying to convert this statement into a SQL command-- for testing and learning purposes.
The code in a formula in basic syntax is
if IsNumeric (Mid(Trim(X), 1)) Then
formula = UCASE(TRIM(MID(X, (INSTR (X, " ", 1) +1)))))
ELSE
formula = X.

What am I supposed to use instead of formula in the sql command and should this be done in sql command for efficiency? Even if I am not supposed to, I would like to know how to write this in sql command.
So far I have
CASE ISNUMERIC (Mid(Trim(X), 1)) Then
[BLANK] = UCASE(TRIM(MID(X, (CHARINDEX (X, " ", 1) +1)))))
ELSE
[BLANK] = X

EPV
Sample of Data.  So when I import/link data from the back end. My X Field looks like a variety of:
 1. 'zzabc123 - The Red Car'
 2. 'abc123 - The Black Car'
 3. 'The green car'
I want to create a SQL code where:

*

*CHECK X (zzabc123 - the red car) to see if there is a zzabc123 in the front

*if it is numeric, then cut out the front part - by using charindex to find where the space starts and grab only 'the red car'.

*If it is not numeric, just clean up the DATA part

*END CASE

*After that case evaluate the DATA and use another CASE to find key words to use a generalized term for reporting.

*RESULTS

*RED CAR

*BLACK CAR

*GREEN CAR
SELECT *,
CASE ISNUMERIC(Mid(Trim(X), 1)) Then
UCASE(TRIM(MID(X, (CHARINDEX (X, " ", 1) +1)))))
ELSE X
END

CASE WHEN X LIKE '%RED%'
THEN 'RED CAR'
ELSE X LIKE '%BLACK%;
THEN 'BLACK CAR'
ELSE X LIKE '%GREEN%'
THEN 'GREEN CAR'
ELSE XY
END

FROM XTABLE`

A: Try this:
CASE
  WHEN ISNUMERIC (Mid(Trim(X), 1)) THEN
    UCASE(TRIM(MID(X, (CHARINDEX (X, " ", 1) +1)))))
  ELSE
    X
END

A: Without knowing the specifics of your data and what you are trying to accomplish, it's next to impossible to accurately give you a SQL sample.
That said, here is a conversion of most of your functions to their SQL-Server equivalents; if you can look up items like the SUBSTRING() and CHARINDEX() functions, and adapt the sample to do whatever it is your requirements dictate, this should get you started.
SELECT
    CASE
        WHEN ISNUMERIC(SUBSTRING(LTRIM(RTRIM(X)), 1,1)) = 0
        THEN UPPER(LTRIM(RTRIM(SUBSTRING(X, CHARINDEX(X, ' ')+1, LEN(X) - CHARINDEX(X, ' ')))))
        ELSE 'X'
    END
FROM MyTable

Home » Pfizer acquires Redvax
Pfizer acquires Redvax
Pfizer has acquired a controlling interest in Redvax, a spinoff from Redbiotec, a privately held Swiss biopharmaceutical company, based in Zurich-Schlieren. This transaction provides access to a preclinical human cytomegalovirus (CMV) vaccine candidate, as well as intellectual property and a technology platform related to a second, undisclosed vaccine program.
The CMV vaccine program will complement Pfizer's robust research portfolio of investigational vaccines and place Pfizer among the leaders in CMV R&D. CMV is a herpes virus, infecting 50-90% of the adult population, with a majority remaining asymptomatic. A large segment of young adults, especially women of childbearing age who remain CMV negative, are at high risk of CMV infection during pregnancy and of passing the infection on to the unborn child (congenital infection).
There are potentially serious and lifelong consequences for babies born with the disease. One out of every five children born with CMV infection may experience hearing loss and severe neurologic disorders. More children have disabilities due to congenital CMV than other well-known infections and syndromes, including Down syndrome, fetal alcohol syndrome, spina bifida and pediatric HIV/AIDS.
"We are working to bring innovative vaccines to market that prevent and treat serious diseases," said Kathrin U. Jansen, Ph.D., senior vice president & CSO Vaccine Research & Early Development for Pfizer. "Through the acquisition of the Redvax innovative CMV vaccine platform and expertise we will seek to develop a vaccine to prevent a difficult disease that can have a devastating and lifelong impact on young children."
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that, in the U.S., approximately 5,000 children each year develop lasting health problems caused by CMV such as hearing or vision loss and mental disability. The Institute of Medicine has ranked the development of a CMV vaccine as a highest priority because of the lives it would save and the disabilities it would prevent. The estimated costs associated with CMV disease for the U.S. health care system amounts to at least $1.86 billion annually. CMV expenses can run more than $300,000 per child.

Sonic Channel Creators Interview
Current: Kenjiro Morimoto
Kenjiro Morimoto
Kenjiro Morimoto on Sonic Channel Creators Interview:
For the second Creators Interview, we will introduce Kenjiro Morimoto who was in charge as Director and Main Game Designer in Sonic Riders !
First of all, could you please tell us the triggers, motives, and the like of joining SEGA?
"A job in which I will create things and make people touched." It did not mean that I could do anything, but I looked for the mentioned job with simple longing towards the so-called occupational classification known as development and it is because one of those was making games.
And so when it comes to why SEGA, this is again by the simple reason that I had spent the era when Fantasy Zone , Space Harrier , OutRun , and others had just enlivened the arcades, so it means that I, of course, owned Mark III, Genesis, and others as well, and the image that resembled the games (SEGA) was established during my middle and high school days. I had also found other famous companies in the game industry, but the number one reason I dared to choose SEGA is something known as the longing for SEGA.
What kind of tasks did you want to do after joining SEGA?
Honestly, I had no knowledge at all regarding game production, so I did not have any clear plans like "What I wanna do?" Rather, "What can I do?", I wanted to know that the most. But I wanted to express myself somehow in making things and I thought that there is no restriction in the way of self-expression using the media called games. No matter it is the system aspect or the scenario aspect, if it is possible to realize, it means that I would capture it very optimistically, but when I consider it now, I think that SEGA often hired the people who have this kind of positive thinking.
During your student days, what kind of tasks had you put your effort into?
Nooo, I am embarrassed that I had not done anything I can boast to other people. (Laughs) During my high school days, I was active in a band (taking charge of guitar) with partners by means of my whole heart wanting to be popular among the girls. I did not have money but plenty of free time, so I practiced immensely, became fairly skillful, and finally discovered the future vision that has no foundation like "I will become a musician!"
Fortunately, I was not studying for exams nor doing anything, so I entered a preparatory school normally. "Too slow!" I will be scolded by Mr. Jet! (Laughs)
May we also ask about your hobbies other than your job?
For this, again, I have nothing to the extent I can call as hobby, but suffice it to say that it is sake, is it? I do not really like such things as a wine expert which I can boast but the immersion in an environment where I can taste the sake with my five senses. Along the way of Kiyomizu-dera in Kyoto, there is a teahouse where I can command a full view of Kyoto city from a tatami room (upland), and I feel the luxury beyond description for the hot sake that I drink in winter there.
I like manga for the rest. When I am reading manga while drinking sake, I will forget the time. My recent exciting manga is Gantz . It is the best! I am moved to tears with my knees shaking!
Could you tell us the process until Sonic Riders was born? If you also have the hardship story and the like of that time, could you let us hear about them?
"What about the form of the racing game you can expect only in Sonic?" Such question became the motive of making Sonic Riders . When I dropped Sonic, who has high physical ability from the start, to racing genre, "What'd I place him on?", it took a long time until I settled it.
It was difficult to imagine him driving an existing vehicle like car … I utilized his physical ability somehow and the exhilarating feeling you can expect only in Sonic resulted!
In continuing to variously imagine such racing development, I was interested in the field called extreme sports and at that time, Chief Officer Yuji Naka told me about the phenomenon known as turbulence of the cart world during chatting, and by observing those, I was able to go on bringing various ideas together into one form. All the elements—speed sensation, dynamism, and stylish feeling—matched Sonic's image, and the running method of surfing on the wind using Extreme Gear (airboard) was done.
I think that the diverse course settings are also one of the appeals in Sonic Riders , but wasn't there plenty of hardship since the stage of presenting the ideas in preparing that many? I wonder where the source of ideas came from.
I wonder how it was. I do not remember it clearly anymore, but various courses had appeared in the idea level. While the staff members presented the opinions as well, I carried out the selection with such themes as future impression, combination of nature and civilization, and journey from real world to parallel universe, and tried to line them up in accordance with color variation. In that sense, the courses of Heroes' part were complete, but what I had difficulty in actually is Babylon's part.
The color variation is also necessary in Babylon's part after all, and what's more, I cannot use a very extraordinary worldview from the location as the parallel world that runs the same time base…. In the end, I progressed variously leaving them undecided in its entirety.
I'll say I have that, too … or rather, there is also a time when I was conversely glad to be able to pick out the unimagined, original worlds like frozen base due to radiative cooling, jungle colored in snowscape due to spores, and desert of solar eclipse, in the initial presentation of ideas.
It feels as if Jet the Hawk is similar to you, though?
To ask such question, you are having a very good time in this game, aren't you? (Laughs) In the same way as the imagination, the model of this character Jet is me myself. Jet is a being who makes Sonic's pride awakened. Towards the character Sonic, the owner of the personality which is freewheeling and unrestricted by anyone, what should I do to make Sonic himself carry the meaning of participation in this race? That is the motive of considering the character Jet.
Similar to Sonic, he has the pride with regard to speed and he is bad but innocent somewhere. I performed the characterization aiming at such role in which the players would have empathy for Sonic as well as Jet.
For the design, the birds become the motive as beings who overcome in gravity, which is also the theme of this game.
The childish emotion, hateful expression, and others that Jet shows lets us variously recall and reflect on our childhood when we hated to lose.
Currently, what kind of tasks are you doing?
In short, I am a field supervisor of production. I have reached where I am by working my way up at the field the whole time, so even after I have become a director, I am also in charge of scenario, game design, and others basically, and what's more, I hope that I can continue to do my best as a field worker even from now on. Well, having said that, those young guys have grown rapidly and I wonder if it would become a situation of producing things with various purposes and slightly extensive view in going on to build up the future SEGA or Sonic brand.
Among the tasks so far, what leaves you the best impression?
A lot have come along and honestly, there are more tasks that I do not want to recall (laughs), but the one I enjoyed the most is the puzzle stage production of ChuChu Rocket! . It could let me straightly reflect on the parts where the rules are clear and on the design ideas in a short time, so I had had a good time in many ways.
Inside the Sonic series, which character do you like the most? Please tell us the reason, too.
It is Amy. She's self-centered and the part where she drags the nearby guys around at her convenience…. This pushy personality and the words spoken by her queenlike nature have some kind of hypnotic effect swaying the brains of the listeners, and the enchanting feeling which also resembled the trance state….
I'm sorry. (Laughs) The part where she follows the traces of Sonic, who runs about trying to escape, by force halfway, and the like are lovable and cute, aren't they?
What is Sonic to you?
I wonder what it is…. It is hard to describe it well, but suffice it to say that he is my boss, is he? He has his own way and is difficult to deal with but reliable to guide me in the end. "Having finished producing Sonic Riders , I was somewhat reviewed by Sonic." It is that kind of feeling.
Finally, may I request your brief comment to everyone who is visiting Sonic Channel?
Thank you for always visiting Sonic Channel. I also want to create one called Jet Channel soon. (Laughs) Well, it is as a joke and even though I will take good care of the worldview which Sonic is holding even from now on, I want to continue making games as if I could settle a new Sonic style in it, so please look forward to it.

James Sheppard Suffers Knee Injury
Posted on September 7, 2010 by lighthouse10 | 3 comments
Mike Russo of the Star Tribune has reported that center James Sheppard was involved in an ATV accident in Vail, Colorado on Saturday. Sheppard fractured his patella (left knee) and underwent surgery.
According to Russo, Sheppard will miss three to four months, but the team is saying there is no timetable for his return.
Here is the team's official statement: "The National Hockey League's (NHL) Minnesota Wild announced today that forward James Sheppard suffered a fractured patella in his left knee in an off-ice accident in Vail, Colo., Saturday night. There is no timetable for when Sheppard will be able to return to play hockey."
Three months from today is December 7, which is 26 games deep into the season. That's not good for Shep, who was anxious to get to training camp and prove himself after a difficult year.
As for other players, the locker room in Xcel Energy Center continues to bustle with activity. Two new players that have joined the fray are newcomer Eric Nystrom and roster hopeful, Robbie Earl. Earl spent his summer in Madison, Wisconsin where he trained on campus with several other former Badgers and current NHLers.

Fantasy Non-Olympian Team USA Hockey squadron
Posted on May 17, 2010 by lighthouse10 | Leave a comment
It seems safe to say that the World Hockey championships aren't at the top of our collective minds, even though this is the State of Hockey, and we do have six Minnesotans. Some of us are currently preoccupied with NHL playoffs, and to some extent, the Twins' quest for a 151-11 season.
But I think the reason we lack a little excitement is because we know it's not the best of the best representing each country. Rest assured, if that was the case, the United States would not be winless in two games against Germany and Denmark.
But with several players battling in the playoffs, we can't really send our best. And some of those players who aren't currently playing, have already represented the country at the Olympics this year. A trip to Germany is probably not what they need (although Jack Johnson is on the World Championship team, and was a key cog for the Olympic team).
So because there is a lack of news, I figured I'd put together my ideal Team USA roster with players who did not participate in the Olympics. However, some of these guys are in the playoffs, but that's okay. I thought it'd be fun.
So, without further adieu, here is my Fantasy Non-Olympian Team USA Hockey squadron that everybody would agree to play for.
Bold = Currently on the World Championship team
Centers: Tim Connolly (Buffalo/Syracuse, NY), Scott Gomez (Montreal/Anchorage, AK), Matt Cullen (Ottawa/Virginia, MN) and T.J. Oshie (St. Louis/Warroad, MN).
Wingers: R.J. Umberger (Columbus/Pittsburgh, PA), Kyle Okposo (New York Islanders/St. Paul, MN), Lee Stempniak (Phoenix/West Seneca, NY), Brian Gionta (Montreal/Rochester, NY), Bill Guerin (Pittsburgh/Worcester, MA), Jason Blake (Anaheim/Moorhead, MN), Blake Wheeler (Boston/Minneapolis, MN) and James van Riemsdyk (Philadelphia/Middletown, NJ).
Defensemen: Tyler Myers, who considers himself Canadian but he was born in Texas, so whether he likes it or not, he's on our side (Buffalo, Katy, TX), Keith Yandle (Phoenix/Boston, MA), Mike Komisarek, (Toronto/West Islip, NY), Paul Martin (New Jersey/Elk River, MN), Matt Carle (Philadelphia/Anchorage, AK), Alex Goligoski (Pittsburgh/Grand Rapids, MN) and John Carlson (Washington/Natick, MA).
And yes, I know Komisarek and Martin were named to the Olympic team, but they were both hurt, so they're on my team.
Goaltenders: Jimmy Howard (Detroit/Syracuse, NY), Craig Anderson (Colorado/Park Ridge, IL) and Brian Boucher, who went and got himself hurt last night, meaning I may have to call in Ty Conklin (St. Louis/Anchorage, AK).
I even had trouble whittling down the defensemen. I left off Ron Hainsey, Matt Greene, John-Michael Liles, Keith Ballard, James Wisniewski, Tom Gilbert and even former UMD Bulldog, Matt Niskanen.
On the forward side, I scrapped Brandon Dubinsky and Mike Modano because I like my centers. And I looked for a spot for Robbie Earl, who hit on 20.7% of the shots he took last year, but I just couldn't find space for him.
And in goal, well, us Americans aren't very deep in goal. But we do have Ryan Miller, and nobody else does.
That team is not too shabby if I do say so myself. And really, only Gomez, Gionta, Guerin, Wheeler, van Riemsdyk, Carle and Goligoski are still playing right now. The rest should get their tails off to Germany and meet up with Todd Richards. Tell him I sent you.

It's easy to think of today's scorching-hot meltdown in equities, precious metals, oil and a majority of agricultural commodities, bond yields and the U.S. dollar as cyclical, corrective or somehow coincidental.
In fact, the meltdown is part of a continuation of the volatility that stems from the uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve's rate stance. Janet Yellen's speech last week aimed the arrow right at the heart of what has been feared for almost two years now: she says rates will definitely rise "this year" unless the Rockies may crumble and Gibraltar may tumble into the sea.
The Dow is off almost 2.00%, the S&P 500 2.5% and the NASDAQ off almost 3.00%. European bourses were also off on about the same spectrum, the CAC doing the worst.
Shanghai and Hong Kong were up ever so modestly. The Nikkei was down 1.5%.
Why should one small, probably insignificant rate rise have investors spooked? There is a relatively easy answer.
Nothing seems to stand in the way of large-scale economic upheaval except the Fed. And a simple application of interest rate change is a bit like the use of a cotton swab in a trauma center treating victims of a five-car pileup. What if Fed members are wrong? What if they're right?
The U.S. Congress and to a certain extent President Obama have neglected their duties to see to it that the country as a whole prospers. Part of that charge is keeping up and growing the economy. Reducing our critique to simplest terms, the federal government has done next to nothing to spur economic growth, ignoring fiscal policy and instead relying strictly on monetary policy (the Fed) to do the job.
At this point, it is not important if the conflict between parties and between Congress and Mr. Obama is ideological, careless or myopic. The fact is that there have been no large federal initiatives for some time – infrastructure comes most readily to mind but there are other initiatives such as space technology, public lands improvement (a form of infrastructure) or a jobs program for youth, Hispanics and African Americans.
There has been an incessant hammering on lower taxes (we hear Republican candidates promising to lower taxes time and again when we know trickle-down economics is essentially a sham). Worse there is a crack-head rightwing hammering on the very value of government as a force for good in the social realm.
Congress in partnership with the president must help stimulate the economy. Once more, infrastructure is key, but it's also important for banks to begin issuing regular mortgages for regular people, especially the young. In our mind, Wall Street banks were bailed out and now it's time the banks – prudently but with alacrity – help Main Streeters own homes, start business and allow for a restructuring of college loans. The last is particularly egregious because those who bought into the idea of college as a sort of universal good have been penalized the most during this overall uncertain times we live in.
However, we are not optimistic. The resignation of John Boehner of Ohio as Speaker Of The House will be an enormous distraction. While Boehner was not a champion of democratic socialism, at least he believed in the power of government to create a better society.
The battle for his leadership position will keep many, many minds busy in DC and prevent an agenda from being drawn up.
There is no other game in town. That is why the Fed is watched so painfully closely.
We have no active trades in either gold or silver. We were stopped out of our trade today.
Inasmuch as uncertainty in global markets can bring safe haven buying in true support to the precious metals markets we certainly did not see that today. Along with the precious metals complex, traders today witnessed an absolute breakdown in the commodities complex as a whole, along with the US equities markets.
Gold breaking below 1133 is absolutely significant as it breaks below an important support level. The next real support levels in gold are at 1121 and 1109. Although gold sold off almost 1.5% on the day it certainly was not the greatest percentage drawdown in the precious metals complex. Platinum, palladium and silver closed roughly 3% lower on the day, double the drawdown that we saw in gold.
We are currently flat with no active trades in trending markets. It is my belief that our strongest play here could be initiating short trades in the E-mini S&P 500.
At the beginning of last week's trading we noticed some real weakness enter the US equities markets. On a technical basis we had identified a true compression pattern developing in which we had a series of ascending lows (higher lows), and a flat top. Most notably was the fact that we saw the range compressing. That indicated to us a potential break with a great release of energy. We certainly saw that emerge today with the Dow Jones industrial average closing off approximately 2% on the day, trading to the recent lows that we saw last week. Based upon our technical studies we would not be surprised to see a continuation of the downside pressure that has been so evident in the market over the last two weeks.


A: It's unlikely. SCE&G could not find a partner to replace Santee Cooper in the project, after the state-owned utility decided to pull out, officials said. SCE&G executives said they tried unsuccessfully to get federal help, going as far up as the White House with funding requests. The company also had no luck with other utilities.
Some politicians in Fairfield County favor the state providing financial support to revive the project, but that would be difficult given the expense.
The state's budget is about $8 billion, and the cost of finishing the project could equal or exceed that. SCE&G and Santee Cooper have spent about $9 billion on the project. Estimates show the V.C. Summer expansion could have ultimately cost more than $20 billion.
Q. How high are S.C. residents' power rates compared to residents of other states?
A. South Carolina families pay the highest power bills in the South, and the third highest in the country, trailing only Connecticut and Hawaii, according to the most recent data available.
In 2007, South Carolina had the 12th highest monthly power bills of any state, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
The Palmetto State's $38.84 increase in monthly power bills since 2007 was the third highest jump in the country, trailing only Kansas and West Virginia.
Plans now are under way to charge SCE&G customers for the shutdown of the nuclear project, but some project opponents have said they will seek to get people their money back. SCE&G and Santee Cooper said they won't offer refunds to customers who have paid higher power bills to help finance the project.
Q. How much will the shutdown cost the state in unemployment benefits?
A: The shutdown, which cost about 5,000 construction workers their jobs, will likely put a dent in the state's Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund, which is funded by employer taxes.
Officials with the S.C. Department of Employment and Workforce had no estimate Wednesday of the number of former plant workers who might file for unemployment. Plus, workers draw unemployment benefits from their home states, and the vast majority of the V.C. Summer construction workers are said to be from out of state.
However, officials believe about 500 of the workers live in Fairfield County.
Unemployment benefits are based on each worker's salary. In South Carolina, the average construction worker earns about $15 an hour. At that hourly rate, the 500 Fairfield County workers could cost the trust $3 million if they receive full unemployment benefits.
The trust fund balance was $678 million as of July 28.
"While this layoff is large and has the potential for thousands of people to file for unemployment, the unemployment insurance trust fund is not in immediate jeopardy," DEW spokesman Robert Bouyea said.
Q. What impact has canceling completion of the reactors had on SCANA's stock price?
A. It's been positive. The price of shares in SCANA, the parent of SCE&G, have increased by more than $3 a share since Monday, closing at $65.33 Thursday. At one point Tuesday, SCANA stock was selling for $67.94 a share, up more than $6 from its opening price Monday, just hours before state-owned Santee Cooper and SCE&G said they would give up on completing the multi-billion-dollar reactors.
Q. Will lawsuits result from the decision?
A. It's likely. Attorneys representing upset ratepayers already are asking questions of state agencies and others who have tracked the V.C. Summer expansion project.
Dukes Scott, director of the S.C. Office of Regulatory Staff, said he's received a number of phone calls this week from attorneys seeking information from his agency. Some of those attorneys have checked on a legal filing in which SCE&G is seeking to formally abandon the plant and recover $5 billion it already has paid for the facility. The plan is to recover some of the money over 60 years.
Customers of SCE&G have been hit with nine rate hikes for the nuclear project totaling $1.4 billion. Santee Cooper has raised rates five times for the project, generating about $500 million.
Charleston environmental lawyer Blan Holman said he was approached by an attorney before the decision was made to abandon the project. Holman has tracked the V.C. Summer project for the Southern Environmental Law Center.
Q. Why is Georgia still planning to build a twin reactor project when South Carolina has abandoned its own project?
A. Westinghouse, a subsidiary of Toshiba, was the main contractor on both the V.C. Summer project and a similar one in Georgia. Georgia Power has not decided whether to move forward with its two-reactor effort, but most observers believe the company will.
Georgia Power is much larger than SCE&G. The company, a division of the Southern Co., has 2.5 million customers compared to SCE&G's 713,000. Southern is one of the country's largest energy companies. Santee Cooper, SCE&G's partner in the Jenkinsville project, has 176,000 direct customers, although Santee Cooper also provides power to several of the state's electric cooperatives.
Georgia Power, SCANA and Santee Cooper all reached settlement agreements with Toshiba. But Georgia Power, because of the way its contract for the project was written, will receive about $1.4 billion more than the S.C. utilities will get combined. Toshiba pledged $3.68 billion to compensate Georgia utilities for the Westinghouse bankruptcy, while SCE&G and Santee Cooper are supposed to get $2.2 billion.
Construction of the Georgia plants near Augusta is 44 percent complete, compared to about 34 percent at South Carolina's V.C. Summer site.

The Coming Battle Down South: Latino Voters vs. Anti-Immigrant Lawmakers
Latino and Asian immigrants are the fastest-growing segments of the South, but their voting power still lags.

Georgia found a way to top its own anti-immigrant lawmaking record this week when the state Senate voted on Monday to ban undocumented immigrant students from all public colleges in the state.
If passed, the ban, which has yet to advance out of committee in the House, will expand a 2010 law that forbids undocumented immigrants from enrolling in Georgia's top five most competitive colleges. Georgia is also currently defending HB 87, an SB 1070-inspired law that allows state law enforcement to question and detain anyone they suspect may be undocumented, against a federal challenge. While immigrants have turned out all over the country through civil disobedience and mass protest, the question remains: will the immigrant community and Latino voters be able to defend their community at the polls?
For years, Republican lawmakers have bet no. Georgia, like other states in the South, responded to the economic downturn and concurrent demographic changes with a spate of anti-immigrant lawmaking. A coalition of civil rights groups and the federal government are currently suing South Carolina and Alabama for similar SB 1070-like laws. And Mississippi is again contemplating its own copycat this year.
"These types of attacks against the community will continue unless Latinos get registered, demand respect and go vote," said Jerry Gonzalez, executive director of the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials. "The issue of immigration and how immigration is handled is an issue of respect, and we can no longer stand for the attacks being leveled against us."
Gonzalez said that anti-immigrant bills had galvanized his community. Still, immigrants may be a long way off from being able to hold elected officials accountable in an electoral strategy. While the nation is bearing witness to rapid demographic changes that are fundamentally changing the face of the country, there is still a large gap between the numbers of Latinos and immigrants registered to vote, and their community's true size.
Latino and Asian immigrants are the fastest growing segments of the U.S. population, and they're not just headed to metropolitan hubs along the coasts. States in the South have seen their immigrant populations multiply in the last few decades, according to the U.S Census. In Georgia, for instance, immigrants made up 2.7 percent of the state in 1990. Twenty years later, the foreign-born population had grown to just under a million people, nearly 10 percent of the state. From North Carolina to Mississippi, states in the South have recorded similarly exponential growth in the same span of time.
It's slowly translating to voting power, as well. In 1996, 78 percent of Georgia's registered voters were white. But in the 2008 elections, just 62 percent of the state's registered voters were white, said Charles Bullock III, a professor political science at the University of Georgia. Demographic changes are just one reason why voters of color were registered in such high numbers in 2008, Bullock said, but added that it's a one-way shift right now. And when it comes to the long-term trend, "I don't think that trend is going to reverse," Bullock said.
"But Latinos as a whole don't engage in elections on parity with their numbers is society," said Celeste Lay, a professor of political science at Tulane University.
Indeed, according to the Georgia Elections Division, as of the first of this month, Latino voters are still less than two percent of the state's registered voters. A larger proportion of registered voters–4.3 percent–claimed their race as "Other." Low voter registration rates are why the Latino population might seem like an easy segment to anger, or ignore.
That's something folks in Georgia are working on changing this year. Gonzalez of GALEO said his group is part of a campaign called ¡Orale! 10 to register and encourage Latinos to vote. It's a three-part ask to get Latinos to pledge to register 10 new voters, volunteer 10 hours of time and donate 10 dollars to help voter registration and engagement.
Gonzalez insists that Latino civic engagement is high, but that immigrants and Latinos face a number of structural barriers, and hold onto some misconceptions about the risks of getting involved in the political process. Even though registering to vote is seemingly straightforward, for example, Georgia isn't required to provide voting materials in Spanish, Gonzalez said, and many people fear government intrusion into their lives.
"There are many mixed status families in Georgia, and they wonder: If I register to vote will I bring greater scrutiny to my family?" he said.
The spate recent anti-immigrant lawmaking throughout the South provides an organizing opportunity for Latinos, Gonzalez said.
Gonzalez says his message to eligible Latino voters in Georgia is simple: "The bottom line is, if you're a citizen you have an added responsibility because you are not just representing your own voice, but your family's voice. As citizens we have to make sure we can speak up for our hermanos and hermanas who are undocumented and make sure they are respected."

The men and women of Rotary Club were to meet up for a special session on hair. This is where the hair loss experts in Ahmedabad were required to be part of the same. The discussion points ranged from points such as how far the results could reach and how soon the results could be accounted for. The over all results that various products and medications can sustain for an individual.
With some hearty discussions the available patrons were able to have a fun time getting an understanding in the deeper and serious discussions that circulate around hair and hair loss. The over the counter questions that were raised were answered with equal vigour. The experience of the discussion being similar to an open debate ranged from topic subjects reaching segments of food, nourishment, lifestyle aspects, various chemical procedures or medications and also with regards to other points which were of technical nature hence needed deep diving. To take the same forward the patrons were given the option of visiting our hair loss centre in Ahmedabad located in Bodakdev to have the discussions taken forward in a more personalised session where the detailed hair check could also be undertaken.

Cleveland tickets
Cleveland stands at the epicenter of music culture, earning its title as the "Rock 'n' Roll Capital" as host to the world-famous Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. With several major league sports teams, fascinating museums, and an ever-rotating calendar of arts and culture, this city on the shores of Lake Erie is certainly one of the most happening places in the nation.
Cleveland venues
Although Cleveland sports teams have not always come out on top in major championships, their fans remain dedicated to the home teams. In 2016, the Cleveland Cavaliers emerged victorious from the NBA finals, giving Cleveland fans a renewed sense of local pride. Sports fans routinely flock to Quicken Loans Arena (affectionately known as "the Q"), just like they make time to watch the NFL's Cleveland Browns in action or see the Cleveland Indians take the baseball diamond.
Visitors whose tastes trend toward arts and culture may enjoy spending time in the Detroit Shoreway District, where most of the performing arts venues are located, including the Capitol Theatre, the Near West Theatre and many others. Cleveland theater tickets routinely sell out long before the event. Quicken Loans Arena, apart from serving as home base to the Cavaliers, is also the site of regular concerts by major touring artists.

Mesrana ou m'srana (), est un saucisson originaire de la ville de Rabat au Maroc.
Il s'agit d'une préparation culinaire étroitement liée au sacrifice du mouton qui est indissociable de Boubanita.

De ce fait, elle est préparée pour deux occasions, l'une principale qui est l'Aïd el-Kébir et chez certaines familles anciennes de Rabat durant le baptême du nouveau-né.

Occasions
Ce mets est préparé le second jour de l'Aïd al-Adha et conservé pour être mangé pendant les semaines qui suivent.

De surcroît, il est préparé durant la cérémonie du Sbouê, baptême du nouveau-né connaissant le sacrifice d'un mouton le septième jour après la naissance de l'enfant.

Méthode de préparation
Dans un bol, déposer la viande hachée et la graisse de rognons émincée. Rajouter le cumin, les clous de girofle, le poivre, le curcuma, le piment rouge doux, le gingembre et l'ail et travailler le mélange pour bien amalgamer tous les ingrédients. Placer la farce dans une poche à douille. Huiler l'intérieur des intestins et les farcir avec la préparation. Ficeler les extrémités des intestins et les piquer à l'aide d'une aiguille. Faire sécher le saucisson dans un endroit aéré. Après séchage, il peut être tranché en rondelles et grillé ou poêlé.

Il est sauté seul ou avec une omelette.

No enmity can last between two daughters.
a ragged trophy of his own hunt gone bad.
but so many underworlds beyond counting.
neighborhoods of divine and celestial powers.
for there have been suns beyond number.

Comic-Con 2013: 'Guardians of the Galaxy' Casting Confirmations & Footage
by Rob Keyes
– on Jul 21, 2013
in Movie News, Comic-Con
After noteworthy presentations from Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox gave fans years worth of future DC Comics and Marvel movie excitement, Disney's Marvel Studios rounded out the biggest day of comic book movie related content and announcements in the history of Comic-Con with a mind-blowing panel of their own.
After Thor: The Dark World and Captain America: The Winter Soldier each had new footage debut, Marvel Studios President of Production Kevin Feige said that - despite Guardians of the Galaxy have only begun shooting - they wanted attendees to meet them.
The entire cast - minus unannounced voice talent for Rocket Raccoon and Groot - came on stage, and actors had their rumored names confirmed, with an added surprise of Djimon Hounsou playing a character named Korath, a character with the ability to hunt down people.
For the record, Benicio Del Toro is playing The Collector, Lee Pace is playing Ronan, Karen Gillan is playing Nebula (and shaved her head for it) and Michael Rooker is playing Yondu as initially reported. As for the leads, this is what they look like (compare them with last year's Guardians of the Galaxy concept art):
The footage begins with a wide shot of dark, alien world, with greenish-blue aesthetic. There's a large structure, with walls and it seems to be some sort of temple that a hooded figure enters. From the interior shot we see it's Peter Quill with his reddish brown trench coat as depicted in the image above. He's entered to seemingly steal some artifact and just as he does, three mysterious figures also enter the structure with rifles.
They're lead by Korath and aim to arrest him by first asking Quill to identify himself. Chris Pratt's Peter Quill says "Star-Lord" and Hounsou's alien pursuer Korath looks confused and says "who?" The tone is very different from the get-go than any other Marvel Studios production to date and very funny.
We then see a shot of what may be Quill's wrist, with some sort of device on his arm and we're now in prison on what's likely a space station. The majority of the video is to introduce fans to the characters since the Guardians of the Galaxy comic is very obscure and entirely unrecognizable to the mainstream theater-going demographic..
We see hologram readouts on the the film's five main characters and there's a voiceover by John C. Reilly's Rhomann Dey, a Nova Corps prison guard, describing each:
Drax the Destroyer - speaks for itself. He's covered in red tattoos, and his skin appears to be flaking off in some parts. We didn't see him with the armored-skin look or a vest like in the original concept art.
Gamora - a deadly assassin. She's a brighter green and her eyes are much lighter. She stares ahead with a snarky grin on her face, clearly fearless.
Rocket Raccoon - has over 50 charges for theft and prison escapes. When it jumped from Gamora to Rocket on the line-up, it was very evident how short he is, but not as evident as his attitude when he spits on the ground.
Groot - a plant. He's so tall, he slowly leans to the right and gets his head in the frame.
And "Star-Lord" who looks lost and comedically out of place.
We get another shot of Dey and we see he's discussing this with another Nova Corps guard who asks "who calls him Star-Lord" and Dey says that's just what he calls himself. The personality of each character is hilarious and comes through, even with there being no dialogue in the footage from anyone outside of Chris Pratt, Djimon Hounsou and the Nova guards.
Next we're seeing Quill, handcuffed, being escorted through a part of the prison and he hears "Hooked On A Feeling" music playing in the background realizing it's from his walkman. Some large alien is putting on the headphones and listening curiously and Quill repeatedly demands that he stop. For some reason, this really upsets him and he breaks off the line and begins charging the larger alien leading to a confrontation where guards put him down.
This moves into a sizzle reel of action bits, featuring physical moments and close-ups on the Guardians and a load of other varied aliens. The most notable highlights were Star-Lord's mask - which is the same from the early artwork, him dual-wielding pistols, Gamora kicking ass, a cool looking spaceship leaving the atmosphere of some planet (possibly Xandar), and an angry Rocket Raccoon firing his gun while possibly riding on Groot's shoulder.
We also get another shot of Quill on the line-up or in a cell as Rhomann Dey and the other guard talk and he's slowly pretending to crank his hand and give them the middle finger as he apologizes and says he doesn't know how that machine works. We see Dey explain to the other Nova guard that the five call themselves the "Guardians of the Galaxy" to which the other guard says "what a bunch of a-holes."
There was a lot of imagery, much of it not even hinted at in the concept art released so far. It was as exciting as it was overwhelming but the footage was effective. It came across as the most comedic movie in Marvel's library yet. It had James Gunn written all over it and the buzz is definitely getting fans and media unfamiliar with that part of the Marvel Universe - which is most people - interested.

Brand building is one of the quickest and most effective ways to grow your investing business. Perhaps even more importantly, you don't need to spend a lot of money or have a large pipeline to get your brand noticed by the masses. All you need to do is utilize the internet and commit to doing business in a certain way. If you can become the go-to investor in your area for certain kinds of deals, you will find yourself with more deals than you know what to do with. In order to start brand building, you need to figure out which area of the business you want to focus on. Done correctly, brand building can grow your real estate business exponentially.
Building a brand and creating a niche starts with looking at which parts of the business you enjoy the most. It is not uncommon for one area to have several investors looking at the same property. Therefore, it has never been more important to separate yourself from the rest of the pack. Ultimately, there is one thing that you can do to make yourself stand out from every other investor: branding. Your brand can be anything you like it to be. The beauty about real estate is that you can make your brand anything you want. You don't have to follow everyone else. If you want to focus solely on commercial buildings, feel free to do so. If you want to invest in condominiums or mobile homes, you can strive with these properties. There are no boundaries in what or how you want to market yourself. There is really just one rule to follow if you truly want to master a niche: be the most knowledgeable. The people around you will see right through you if you don't know what you are talking about. At the very least, you will lose credibility if you can't hold a conversation.
The internet has made brand building as easy as it has ever been. There is no greater time than the present to grow your business and get your name out. Your website should be the genesis of your brand building – the start-all and end-all. Any marketing on social media will lead people back to your website. Your website should be a reflection of how you want to do business and your point of view. It is a good idea to have a picture of yourself and maybe even a tagline at the top of your homepage. If people get a visual of yourself they feel that they know you even if you have never met. You don't need an expensive website, but you do need to display yourself and your brand prominently throughout the page.
Once your website is up and running, you can begin to focus on social media. Platforms like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn can allow you to reach more people in 60 days than any other type of marketing you do. Simply becoming a member of these sites is not enough to grow your brand, however. You need to commit to doing something every day that will gain the attention of those you wish to follow you. This can mean something as quick as a generic post about the business or as detailed as a video blog. The time you spend each day is not as important as the consistency and the content. Adding to your brand is similar to building your body. If you lift weights for a week, you may not see much of a transformation. However, the longer you train, the more likely you are to see results. The posts you make will give people an idea of who you are, how you invest and what kind of business partner you can be. If you commit to making posts every day, you will see an increase in your brand recognition.
The brand you build online is directly correlated to how your business is run. Every networking opportunity should incorporate your brand. If you go to an investment club meeting, you should be prepared to discuss your brand. Your business card should have your picture and your tagline on it so every new person you meet knows exactly what you are about. You should make it a point to gain one new, solid contact and introduce yourself with a half dozen other people at every meeting you go to. Building a brand means that you are willing to get it out there and generate business. Saying you want to do business a certain way is only good if you put yourself out there.
Once you close a deal with a new contact, your work is not done. Word of mouth is one of the biggest influences on repeat business that you could get. After every successful transaction, you should call everyone that was involved in the deal. You can also send a quick, hand written note thanking them for their efforts. Something this small will certainly get the attention of your contacts and will keep you in mind for subsequent deals. You don't need to be an expert brand builder to send a thank you note. For the .49 cents it costs to do so, it could have the greatest impact on anything you can do to build your brand.
Once you are known in your area, you will find that people will want to work with you. Whatever your brand is, you need to be willing to commit to it with all your passion. People tend to work with people they know. Your brand will get you known quicker than ever before.
