Banks report increasing levels of card transactions
More evidence of the increasing use of card and contactless payments instead of cash has come in reports by UK Finance, the trade body for the banking and finance industry, and by Barclaycard Payments.
Card and contactless payments continued to increase in 2019, with card payments accounting for more than half (51%) of all payments for the first time, according to the latest UK Payment Markets report from UK Finance.
Debit cards were the most used payment method in the UK with 17 billion payments, of which seven billion were contactless. Consumer use of credit cards also rose during 2019, up by 7% to 3.3 billion payments, driven partly by the increase in contactless credit cards issued last year with 1.3 billion credit card payments made via contactless in 2019.
The number of contactless payments across debit and credit cards increased by 16% to 8.6 billion.
Cash payments continued to decline in 2019, falling by 15% to 9.3 billion payments, although cash was still the second most popular payment method in the UK after debit card. The number of people who were not using cash or using cash just once a month has more than doubled in two years (3.4 million in 2017 and 7.4 million in 2019).
Stephen Jones, CEO of UK Finance, said: An increase in ways to pay coupled with the change in people's payment habits may have inadvertently gone some way to prepare the nation for the impact of Covid-19 on their daily lives. With consumers already using contactless payments and remote banking more than in previous years, these technological advances have allowed many people to shop and make payments safely from home or in store. The impact of Covid-19 may accelerate these habits for many customers; however, we are fully aware that not all customers are digitally-enabled which is why we are working flat out to ensure people have access to cash and everyday banking services remain available to help the country through these difficult times.
Natalie Ceeney, chair of the Access to Cash Review, said: In 2019 we saw a further decline in cash use of 15% – although the fact that over nine billion payments were made in cash in 2019 shows how many people still depend on it. This UK Finance data was taken before the impact of Covid-19, which has accelerated the shift to digital payments and further challenged the viability of the cash infrastructure. It's essential that we ensure that everyone is included in our economy, and until digital payments work for everyone, we need to maintain people's ability to access and pay with cash."
Barclaycard Payments, which handles almost 40% of all credit and debit card transaction in the UK, released data that revealed:
• Since the introduction of the new £45 contactless limit in the UK, Barclaycard Payments has processed more than 25 million contactless payments above the previous £30 limit;
• The total value of these 25 million contactless payments is more than £900m, with an average transaction value of £36.29;
• Overall, more than 90% of face-to-face transactions are now made using contactless;
• Barclaycard processed 23% more contactless transactions in 2019 compared to 2018;
• 57% of in-store transactions at small businesses between £30 and £45 are now made using contactless;
• Barclaycard Payments handles half of all contactless transactions in the UK
Rob Cameron, CEO of Barclaycard Payments, said: "Just as consumers are becoming more comfortable with contactless and digital payments, we've also witnessed this same behavioural shift with our merchant clients. Not only are they placing more emphasis on their payments systems, they're also considering how providing a quick and easy payments process improves the overall customer experience.
"Coronavirus has only accelerated this trend, with many traditionally face-to-face businesses switching to online and distance selling for the first time in order to adapt and grow, and it will be interesting to see how card payments continue to evolve in the months ahead."

I truly love discovering beautiful hidden gems in Sydney. Being creatures of habit after a long week of work - one tends to eat at the usual local diner, order the regular cocktail and hang out at the same pub on the corner. We don't like to be disappointed so we stick to what we know so we play it safe. I made a conscious decision this year to explore more of Sydney - eat at places which were unfamiliar, visit art galleries and exhibitions, and familiarise myself with this place I now call home.
Often we travel - to get away from the familiar. But in doing so we forget the cute and charismatic charm of the city which we're from. I stumbled across this bar when walking past the Pullman Quay Grand Sydney Harbour. It's tucked away from the streets. With luscious vegetation hanging from the ceiling, a fit out of pink and green armchairs, the bar gets its inspiration from Cuban plantation architecture and the Miami of the 1950s. With an incredible view of Circular Quay, looking out at the harbour, the city's newest hotel bar offers tropical cocktails and delicious nibbles with a strong focus on Latin American flavours. I'd highly recommend the chicken sliders, waffle fries and pork neck!
So if you're keen for a good meal and a round of tasty cocktails, Hacienda is definitely the place to be! Get to know your city a little more and don't be afraid to visit that new bar or eat somewhere you haven't eaten before!
Walking Dead Cocktails : Rum, Grapefruit, Passionfruit Puree, Cinnamon Syrup, Angostura Bitters and Pernod Absinthe.

Computers and Thought are the two categories that together define Artificial Intelligence as a discipline. It is generally accepted that work in Artificial Intelligence over the last thirty years has had a strong influence on aspects of computer architectures. In this paper we also make the converse claim; that the state of computer architecture has been a strong influence on our models of thought. The Von Neumann model of computation has lead Artificial Intelligence in particular directions. Intelligence in biological systems is completely different. Recent work in behavior-based Artificial Intelligence has produced new models of intelligence that are much closer in spirit to biological systems. The non-Von Neumann computational models they use share many characteristics with biological computation.

Great night at the club!
It was fun! Duane was great!
Awesome tour guide and experience!
This tour was one of the highlights of my holiday, what a wonderful night and great tour guide. The food was fabulous and the jazz club, well I never thought that with my 2 left feet that I would ever get up and dance, but so glad I did it was so much fun it still brings a smile to my face whenever I think about it.
I would do this tour again when in NYC! Our tour leader, Sylvia's soul food restaurant and the music, show and dancers at the Cotton Club were all amazing!
This was with out doubt the highlight of our trip to New York . We made our way to pickup point we're we did a ride to Harlem looking at the area. Quite nice ,some interesting places to see .Then we went for original soul food at a restaurant which was yummy.everyone enjoyed the meal . Then on to the Cotton Club we're we had a fabulous time .great entertainment dancing and singing all night . The gentlemen got everyone involved ,we loved it .There were single ladies on the tour too and they were up dancing all night. Can,t praise it enough .If you like a good evening singing and being entertained it,s the tour for you .
Guided bustrip from Midtown to Harlem with a great guide imforming us what is to know in the area we passed by. Stop at at Sylvia's in Harlem serving great soul food- chicken - ribs - fish and a delicious banana dessert. Stop at Apollo Theatre and finishing off in Cotton Club to listen to great jazz music and watchng a fantastic tap dance show. Highly recommended trip- good value!
This tour is a HUGE disappointment. The restaurant we went to gave us very little food, we had trouble sharing the portion between 12 people. The jazz bar they took us to had no cover charge. The music was not that good at all. Anybody off the street could have come in and sit down for free. We ended up leaving early because it was so boring. We just can't justify paying 175 per person for the evening.

India NDPS amendments made official
March 13, 2014 | No Comments
All the formalities are over and the Amendment of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act of India can be now seen on the Government of India's website.
The most relevant provisions are:
In section 4 of the Act, the addition of the words, "and for ensuring their medical and scientific use" is a very significant acknowledgement of the purpose of the amendment.
In section 2, the Amendment brings in the term, "Essential Narcotic Drugs" (END), which will include narcotic drugs notified by the Central Government for medical and scientific use.
In section 9, the Amendment transfers the powers for making rules regarding Essential Narcotic Drugs to the Government of India, so that the whole country will now have a uniform system pertaining to these essential opioid medicines.
The next step will be a notification by the Department of Revenue, enlisting the essential narcotic drugs, which should include morphine and other opioids used for pain relief, followed by the framing of 'NDPS Rules', which will delineate the procedure to be followed with respect to stocking, distribution, transport, possession and use of these drugs throughout the country.
The note available from the Lawyers' Collective is descriptive of the changes and while recommending that anyone interested reads that page, we also use this opportunity to thank Tripti Tandon and everyone at Lawyers' Collective, for playing a major role on this matter in addition to the government officials (particularly Mr Rajesh Nandan Srivastav, the Director of Narcotics Control in Revenue Department). So many members of the palliative care community in India worked together and contributed in various ways; everyone of them certainly deserves appreciation for the selfless work and commitment.
Though it has taken a long time, we are all immensely happy that the Amendment spells out the purpose of the Act as inclusive of medical and scientific use and that the whole country will now have a uniform procedure through Central Rules, which will be fairly simple.
Thank you every one, for making this happen.

Can the Ward 5 Councilmember fend off a pair of strip clubs?
by James Jones May 24th, 2007 August 29th, 2020
Strip Maul: Graham?s club-moving bill threatens Thomas? political standing. Credit: Photograph by Darrow Montgomery
D.C. ward councilmembers can usually catch a break during their first year. Laying low, keeping quiet, and attending every meeting back in the ward is pretty much all that is expected of a rookie.
Ward 5 Councilmember Harry Thomas Jr. won't get that luxury. Less than half a year into the job, Thomas is facing a career-defining issue that will make or break the judgment of his constituents.
The test is about nudie bars—fighting them off, that is.
Thomas is tasked with killing a bill that would clear the way for several adult entertainment venues to set up shop in his ward. The issue has been brewing for some time: A number of adult clubs have been displaced by the construction of the new Washington Nationals baseball stadium in Southeast.
They need a new home, and Ward 1 Councilmember Jim Graham is playing the role of real estate agent. He's championing a measure that would allow for a one-time look-the-other-way on alcohol regulations so the clubs could become Thomas' newest constituents. The bill would permit establishments that allow nude dancing to transfer their licenses to areas zoned for commercial use. The real-world effect would grant the clubs a license to ply their trade in a warehouse district near Ward 5's Ivy City and Trinidad neighborhoods.
At a May 16 community meeting in Ward 5, residents living near the proposed club zone made it clear the nudie clubs are every bit as big an issue today as the dreaded trash-transfer stations were back in the '90s. "We expect you are going to take up for us," said Ivy City activist had a different take on the project: He considered it economic development. Ray got rolled.
Kathryn Pearson-West, another Ward 5 community activist, offered an analysis that would challenge any macho ex-jock like Thomas. "Did they think our councilmember was the weak link because he was new to the council?" she asked. "I am insulted. Mr. Graham wouldn't even allow a homeless shelter in his ward," she said, referring to Graham's successful fight to prevent the Center Union Mission from relocating from Logan Circle in Ward 2 to south Georgia Avenue in Ward 1.
There will be no calming words from Thomas. "I'm going to take up the fight," he promised the crowd gathered in the Bethesda Baptist Church in Trinidad. During that meeting and from the dais, Thomas portrays the battle over the clubs as an unprecedented effort to shove undesirable but legal businesses down the throats of presumably powerless residents.
"You can not look at any other ward councilmember…and say that they're being asked to accept the total relocation of clubs…due to the stadium," Thomas told his colleagues during the May 15 council session. "There is no fairness in this."
When Thomas is in a mellower mood, he exchanges the passionate rhetoric for direct shots at Graham. "We have special interest legislation being drafted for business owners, some of which have purchased property already," says Thomas. "We are in a very dangerous situation where we are writing legislation to give somebody a break, based on a business owner's existing location."
The councilmember is referring to adult entertainment mogul Bob Siegel, who essentially ruled the area near the baseball park. Last year, he purchased at least two properties in a warehouse district on West Virginia Avenue NE, right in Thomas' ward—one at 2120 West Virginia for $2.6 million, and another down the road at 2046 West Virginia for $3.95 million.
In order to migrate his nudie biz to these locations, Siegel would need approval to transfer his license into a zone not contemplated by current city regulations. In other words, he needs Graham's bill. The entrepreneur had no such approvals before buying the buildings. He didn't even wait until Graham's bill was in motion.
Graham's bill says the clubs have to be more than 500 feet from one another—a provision aimed at calming fears that the establishments could cluster into a new red light district.
And when Graham brought the bill up for a May 8 vote in his Committee on Public Works and the Environment, At-Large Councilmember Kwame Brown shopped an amendment at Thomas' request. Brown proposed pushing the buffer zone out to 1,000 feet. According to Brown, Graham refused to consider the amendment. "He said that would mess everything up," says Brown. Translation: The 1,000-foot plan would have put a crimp in Siegel's vision for West Virginia Avenue NE. Siegel did not return calls seeking comment.
The Gay and Lesbian Activists Alliance (GLAA) is framing the club relocation bill as a piece of social justice legislation. In a May 6 letter to all members of Graham's Committee on Public Works as well as Chairman Vincent Gray, GLAA presses old buttons that hark back to the days gay-oriented establishments were harassed by the authorities. "The city's gay club zone occupied the site off South Capitol Street for more than three decades, after being chased there by then-MPD Chief Jerry Wilson," writes the group's president, Barrett Brick. "The city, having caused their dislocation, is honor bound to facilitate their relocation," he says. He refers the proposed Ward 5 club sites as "suitably zoned areas."
Thomas feels unbound on this piece of legislation. "I will not allow us to be distracted by arguments about sexuality," he says. Thomas notes that during the May 16 community meeting, participants never once uttered the words "gay" or "homosexual" during their speeches denouncing Graham's bill.
But the Ward 5 councilmember is finding out that it may be too late to argue about the merits of the bill.
Groups like GLAA may politely cite the city's previous history of ghettoizing gay establishments, but gay activist Philip Pannell—who once served as Mayor Anthony A. Williams' gay liaison—puts the issue more succinctly. "The opposition to the clubs in Ward 5 is sheer homophobia," says Pannell. "[Opponents of the clubs] don't fear gay people, they just hate them."
Red Letter Day
Tag, I'm It: Low numbers, high visibility(Photograph by Darrow Montgomery)
The obnoxious D.C. tradition of issuing low-numbered license tags to the politically connected is now a little more garish.
A redesign of the tags—which are requested for favored constituents of the mayor, council chairman, and councilmembers—has rendered an eye-grabbing white plate with a red low number surrounded by a red box. A red-and-white depiction of a D.C. flag is on either side of the low number.
The new look is a sharp departure from the old tag, which simply displayed the low number in the same color and scheme as plates issued to the proletariat.
The Department of Motor Vehicles was responsible for the new design, which according to spokesperson Janis Hazel was not ordered by anyone in particular.
"The low tags are redesigned annually for reissue," says Hazel. "Designs differ each reissue year so enforcement agencies can differentiate between prior years." That won't be a problem with the jarring 2007 version.
The only issue now will be filling the requests pouring in to D.C.'s top two elected officials. Sources tell LL that neither Mayor Adrian Fenty nor Council Chair Gray have any interest in the elitist-tag-issuing process. One source close to Gray says the chairman considers the scramble for low tags "stupid."
Political Potpourri
• With five new members of city council, there were bound to be some changes in the halls of the John A. Wilson Building.
The first clue that a new generation of members had taken over were the flags: a D.C. banner and the Stars and Stripes on either side of the door to Ward 6 Councilmember Tommy Wells' office. Apparently, he decided that the building needed more of a federal feel.
When LL inquired about the flags, he was directed by Wells' staff to take a look at the offices of the U.S. House of Representatives. Each morning, a large number of House staffers plant their state flags—along with Old Glory—outside their boss' doors.
It's supposed to convey some sense of officialdom and importance. So when newcomer Ward 4 Councilmember Muriel Bowser moved in next door to Wells, her staff couldn't resist the urge to display the colors just like our congressional overlords.
It wasn't long before At-Large Councilmember Carol Schwartz, a patriotic Republican, hopped on. Sources say she's displaying both the American flag and the D.C. stars and bars. Around the corner from Schwartz, the nationalist momentum apparently overwhelmed rookie Ward 7 councilmember Yvette Alexander, as well. That leaves At-Large Councilmember Phil Mendelson alone as the only politician on the fourth floor to buck the trend, but his staff is reportedly lobbying him to flag up.
• It's not every day that you get a chance to see Cora Masters Barry compliment her estranged husband, Ward 8 Councilmember Marion S. Barry Jr. But the feisty executive director of the Southeast Tennis and Learning Center accepted an invitation from the Ward 8 Democrats to recognize the councilmember at the organization's 25-year celebration and prayer service last Saturday. Every politician ever to hold office in the ward was feted at the event. According to attendees, Cora Barry was short and sweet during her presentation, pointing out that over the years, she and the councilmember had some differences. But when she presented the councilmember with his token of appreciation, Cora Barry offered this closing remark: "He is still my husband." Marion Barry was spotted later at the Players Lounge with his current steady companion, Chenille Spencer.

NATO's Libya Bombing Error Won't Help a Flagging War Effort
By Tony Karon @tonykaronJune 20, 2011
The reason there's a well-worn military euphemism – "collateral damage" – to describe incidents like Sunday morning's air strike in which NATO admits it may have inadvertently killed Libyan civilians in a residential area of Tripoli is that they're an inevitable consequence of waging war from the air. It happens so frequently in Afghanistan and Pakistan that the U.S.-allied governments in both places are forced into ritual denunciation of Western military action. And the embarrassment is that much more acute when the U.S. and its NATO allies claim to be at war to protect civilians — such as the dozens of Serb civilians killed by air strikes that struck buses, trains and residential areas in the course of the Kosovo bombing campaign – not to mention the Chinese embassy in Belgrade destroyed by cruise missiles, allegedly because of the use of an out of date map. Even in Libya, NATO has on at least three occasions mistakenly bombed rebel fighters.
But Sunday morning's debacle — caused, NATO believes, by a "weapons systems failure" that resulted in a bomb or missile missing its target — could not have come at a worse time for the Alliance, whose war effort was exhibiting signs of deep strain even before the strike that will amplify criticism from within and outside of NATO over a mission that has morphed from its U.N. mandate to protect civilians from being overrun by Gaddafi forces to a campaign of bombing the dictator out of power.
The U.S. has sought to limit its involvement to a support role in a conflict that Defense Secretary Robert Gates made clear involves no vital U.S. national security interest — but that support role has included supplying much of the ammunition, after the European countries taking the lead began to run short in April. Even then, NATO's capabilities are being stretched the political limit : Only eight member states are making aircraft available for strike missions. And a key launch platform for such strikes, the French aircraft carrier Charles De Gaulle, is to be withdrawn from the theater when the second 90-day cycle of NATO operations concludes in September — with no obvious replacement.
Nobody in NATO appears to have expected that Gaddafi would survive as long as he has done, but right now it would be unwise to bet too heavily against the regime surviving beyond September when the Alliance will have to renew its mandate. Plainly, there are enough people on the ground willing to fight for Gaddafi to prevent any decisive tipping of the military balance towards the rebels.
And whereas Western leaders hope that time is working against the dictator, whose power had demonstrably shrunk and whose regime is expected to suffer more defections, it may also be working against his adversaries. The appetite of the European NATO members for the mission is already limited, and incidents like the bombing raid in the wee hours of Sunday are unlikely to help persuade European publics, who are in the grip of mounting social turmoil over economic austerity programs, that they ought to be beefing up their commitment to an expeditionary war in Libya. The political climate is even worse in Washington, where President Barack Obama last week found himself in trouble on Capitol Hill as he sought to circumvent the war powers act by suggesting that U.S. involvement in a campaign of bombing another nation's capital city in order to force the surrender of its regime was a level of "hostilities" that fell short of "war". Legislators may push back this week with legislation to limit funding for operations in Libya, supported by many Republicans and antiwar elements in the Democratic Party, reflecting a growing ambivalence in Washington toward further open-ended regime-change/nation-building entanglements in foreign countries.
Oh, and the Libyan rebel leadership announced in Benghazi on Sunday night that it had run out of money, with donor nations failing to come through on pledges.
The Western powers and their regional allies can't allow themselves to lose in Libya, but they could lower the bar of what determines success: Short of a lucky "decapitation" strike that kills Gaddafi — and perhaps even then — the current level of NATO military commitments and the limited capabilities of the rebels point increasingly towards a stalemate in which neither the regime nor the rebels are able to deliver a knockout blow.
No surprise, then, that negotiations appear to be underway, with U.N. Secretary General reporting that he is encouraged by progress made by his envoy, former Jordanian foreign minister Abdul-Ilah al-Khatib, in brokering talks between the rebels and the regime aimed at achieving a political solution. Right now, the regime side is insisting that Gaddafi remain in power in some form, or at least remain in the country while one of his sons takes over the reins pending new elections. That's a formula that's unacceptable to the rebels — who insist that no such talks are even underway. And NATO countries are unlikely to accept Gaddafi remaining in power. But Sunday's meeting in Cairo between the U.N., the Arab League and the European Union affirmed the urgency of finding a political solution in Libya.
Dependent financially and militarily on the backing of foreign countries, the rebels have limited muscle to enforce their will if it differs from that of their Western backers. Less may depend on what Benghazi is willing to accept than on what London, Paris and Brussels are willing to accept by way of an outcome. And Western powers have already made clear to the rebels that they will be expected, as a means of ending the conflict, to share power with a significant segment of those currently in the regime's camp.
So even before Sunday's "collateral damage" incident, it was becoming increasingly clear that what remains of the war "hostilities" right — fierce as they could become in the weeks ahead — now may be largely a matter of determining the shape of that compromise agreement under which Gaddafi is eased out.

Electric Mud — The Deconstruction of Light
(Bandcamp no#, 2018, CD / DL)
by Henry Schneider, 2019-03-28:
Electric Mud is Hagen Bertschneider (ideas, sound concepts, and bass) and Lennart Hüper (rhythm guitar). An what really struck me about their new album The Deconstruction of Light is the amount of changes they pack into three or four minutes. They do not seem content to leave anything alone for more than 20 seconds. The constant shifts in mood, tempo, complexity, etc. work extremely well, but these instrumentals can be overpowering. For example over the course of the first four minutes of the opening track, "Deadend Mind," they expose us to heavy bass, swooping electronics, followed by metal prog, orchestral hits, then a mellow piano solo, followed by a Jan Hammer-esque Miami Vice section, and then a quiet interlude. And "Deadend Mind" continues on for another eight minutes! Besides prog rock, there are elements of hard blues rock morphing into cool lounge jazz "Suburban Wasteland Blues," a David Gilmour style guitar on "Heads in Bed," and Berlin school electronics on "Deadend Mind" and "Through the Glass." These guys seem to have an inexhaustible amount of ideas. If you like your prog rock complex and constantly changing, then The Deconstruction of Light might be for you.
by Peter Thelen, 2018-12-11:
The first four nodes of heavy distorted bass that pump out of your speaker to introduce the first track, "Deadend Mind," let you know immediately that Electric Mud means business, and in a big way. The trio of Hagen Bretscneider (bass, idea, sound concept), Jennart Huper (rhythm guitar), and Nico Walser (who plays all other instruments and sound alchemy, which apparently includes drums, keys, and lead guitar) at first seems like an odd division of duties on paper, but in practice it works wonderfully as that opening track which features drums, synths, piano, electronic percussion, and huge widescreen panoramic atmospheres attests as it approaches its 12 minute conclusion. Likewise, "Canary in a Cathouse" juxtaposes a beautiful soft piano intro with shredding guitar riffing, until bass, organ, and drums join in and make an intense statement, switching between soft passages and heavy guitar-driven mania over its eleven minutes. This is old school instrumental rock of the highest order: I am sometimes reminded of Eloy at their finest (circa Floating) or soundtrack-era Pink Floyd, but there is a very atmospheric component to it all that might remind listeners of TD's Phaedra or thereabouts. The big riff is a major part of every song, incisive, heavy, and very German, but there is still plenty of space for the dreamy stuff, all in abundance. There is a brilliant jazz guitar break on "Suburban Wasteland Blues" that immediately catches your attention, then falls back on the heavy guitar driven riff. Throughout the trio utilizes samples (voices, instruments, and more, as needed) to enhance the ideas they are already driving. "Heads in Beds" starts with a beautiful atmospheric element with tasty lead guitar, not unlike Pink Floyd's "Echoes," then slowly morphs into an atmosperic jazzy section, then a couple minutes later jumps into a sequenced synth romp that slowly introduces the bass, drums, and guitars all over again. Throughout the piece at certain points one hears the sampled child's voice calling out "Daddy, are you sleeping?" The entire album, but this track especially, packs an amazing amount of brilliant ideas that call on all of classic progressive rock's best instincts.

Oozes skill and offensive ability. An amazing, elusive and natural skater, he's quite cerebral and a talented playmaker. A natural center, he has converted nicely to the wing. Is extremely undersized for the North American pro game, so he could stand to get stronger (and avoid being labeled too 'soft'). Is not a great defensive player, either.
Long Range Potential: Talented, highly-skilled scoring winger.


Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) shares are a coiled spring about to pop. At least, that's what the technicals suggest. That means NFLX stock is ripe for the picking. Let's chronicle the recent action in the tech sector and identify how to best capitalize on the resolution of Netflix's triangle formation.
Since reclaiming the high ground above the 50-day moving average, the tech-laden Nasdaq has been in a holding pattern. While the pause may be frustrating late-to-the-party-Charlies who chased internet stocks at their peaks last week, it's actually a good thing.
Periods of consolidation allow the market to digest recent gains and build a base for the next ascent. Traders will be watching the $170 level closely in the PowerShares QQQ Trust, Series 1 (ETF) (NASDAQ:QQQ) because a break above it will signal a new upswing has begun.
Since notching a new record high in early-March, NFLX stock has been rangebound. Netflix bulls will argue the multi-month chop was desperately needed and has allowed NFLX shares to work off overbought pressures. I agree with the analysis.
Rather than seeing increased selling aggression, buyers have continued to sally forth on dips. Their desire to enter at ever-higher prices has formed a series of higher-pivot lows. Couple these with the equal swing highs near $335 and we've got a bona fide ascending triangle pattern.
With this week's pop, Netflix shares are now testing the high of the range once again. I think it's just a matter of time before resistance is felled and we have a breakout on our hands.
To prepare for such an eventuality, consider deploying bullish trades. Bull call spreads offer a high potential payout while giving the stock time to make its move.
Buy the July $330/$350 bull call spread for $9. The risk is limited to the initial cost and will be lost if the Netflix stock price slips below $330 by expiration. The max reward is limited to $11 and will be captured if NFLX rises above $350 by expiration.
It's not a sure thing by any means but it sure beats gambling.
As of this writing, Tyler Craig didn't hold positions in any of the aforementioned securities. Want more education on how to trade? Check out his trading blog, Tales of a Technician.

What Is The Definition Of Penalty Kick In Soccer?
1. A penalty kick is a kick that is spotted only 12 yards away from the goal line. The penalty kick is awarded to the offensive player after the defensive team has committed a foul within its own penalty area, which usually resorts in a direct free kick.
1. While dribbling the ball up the field on a breakaway, the Kroos gets pulled down from behind after he crosses into the penalty area and is then awarded a penalty kick due to the foul by the defender.

An unresolved issue in ocean and climate sciences is whether changes to the surface ocean input of the micronutrient iron can alter the flux of carbon to the deep ocean. During the Southern Ocean Iron Experiment, we measured an increase in the flux of particulate carbon from the surface mixed layer, as well as changes in particle cycling below the iron-fertilised patch. The flux of carbon was similar in magnitude to that of natural blooms in the Southern Ocean and thus small relative to global carbon budgets and proposed geoengineering plans to sequester atmospheric carbon dioxide in the deep sea.

Guilherme de Hesse-Cassel (24 de dezembro de 1787 - 5 de setembro de 1867), foi um dos filhos do conde Frederico III de Hesse-Cassel e da princesa Carolina de Nassau-Usingen.

Os seus avós paternos eram Frederico II, Conde de Hesse-Cassel e a princesa Maria da Grã-bretanha.

Casamento e descendência

No dia 10 de novembro de 1810, Guilherme casou-se no Palácio de Amalienborg com a princesa Luísa Carlota da Dinamarca. Tiveram os seguintes filhos:

 Carolina Frederica Maria de Hesse-Cassel (15 de agosto de 1811 – 10 de maio de 1829).
 Maria Luísa de Hesse-Cassel (9 de maio de 1814 – 28 de julho de 1895). Casada com o príncipe Frederico Augusto de Anhalt-Dessau.
 Luísa de Hesse-Cassel (7 de setembro de 1817 - 29 de setembro de 1898). Casada com o rei Cristiano IX da Dinamarca.
 Frederico Guilherme de Hesse-Cassel (26 de novembro de 1820 – 14 de outubro de 1864). Casou-se em primeiro lugar com a grã-duquesa Alexandra Nikolaevna da Rússia. Morreu pouco depois do casamento. Casou pela segunda vez com a princesa Ana da Prússia.
 Augusta Sofia Frederica de Hesse-Cassel (30 de outubro de 1823 – 17 de julho de 1899. Casada com o barão Charles Frederick von Blixen-Finecke.
 Sofia Guilhermina de Hesse-Cassel (18 de janeiro – 20 de dezembro de 1827).

Condes de Hesse-Cassel


(lots of these), wardrobes (he had whole rooms devoted to clothes), kitchens, dining-rooms, all were on the same floor, and indeed on the same passage. The best rooms were all on the left-hand side (going in), for these were the only ones to have windows, deep-set round windows looking over his garden and meadows beyond, sloping down to the river.
The mother of our particular hobbit… what is a hobbit? I suppose hobbits need some description nowadays, since they have become rare and shy of the Big People, as they call us. They are (or were) a little people, about half our height, and smaller than the bearded Dwarves. Hobbits have no beards. There is little or no magic about them, except the ordinary everyday sort which helps them to disappear quietly and quickly when large stupid folk like you and me come blundering along, making a noise like elephants which they can hear a mile off. They are inclined to be at in the stomach; they dress in bright colours (chiefly green and yellow); wear no shoes, because their feet grow natural leathery soles and thick warm brown hair like the stuff on their heads (which is curly); have long clever brown fingers, good-natured faces, and laugh deep fruity laughs (especially after dinner, which they have twice a day when they can get it). Now you know enough to go on with. As I was saying, the mother of this hobbit – of Bilbo Baggins, that is – was the fabulous Belladonna Took, one of the three remarkable daughters of the Old Took, head of the hobbits who lived across The Water, the small river that ran at the foot of The Hill. It was often said (in other families) that long ago one of the Took ancestors must have taken a fairy wife. That was, of course, absurd, but certainly there was still something not entirely hobbit-like about them, – and once in a while members of the Took-clan would go and have adventures.

Schmich: 'Even the terrible things seem beautiful to me now'
By Mary Schmich
My mother once said something that has played over and over in my mind in the few months since she died, and I hear it strongly as we get closer to Thanksgiving.
"Even the terrible things," she said, on a sunny day in what would be her last September, "seem beautiful to me now."
I rarely saw my mother cry, despite the many reasons she might have, but on that afternoon in her backyard, she cried a little, tears that I sensed were equally for the beauty and the sorrow in her life, and for the recognition that, when it's all done, beauty and sorrow are one and the same.
Even the terrible things seem beautiful to me now.
What she was saying that day, I think, was that it's all life. The things that hurt your heart, wound your pride, drain your hope, leave you lost, confuse you to the point of madness. That's life, life with its endless, shifting sensations and its appalling urgency and its relentless drive toward mystery.
What could be better than that? What could you be more thankful for than that?
At Thanksgiving there's a lot of talk about gratitude, a word that has been so merchandized — on calendars and coffee mugs and in self-help manuals — that when you hear it you may want to reach for the hand sanitizer to wipe away the goo.
In the commercial version of gratitude, life is filled with cozy meals, cozy weather, friends and relations who smother each other in hugs and greeting cards. To the extent that hard times figure in, it's only once they've been vanquished and can be toasted farewell with a glass of premium wine facing a perfect sunset.
It's easy to be grateful for such easy pleasures. Who can complain about cozy meals and friends who put up with your annoying behaviors?
But to see the beauty in the terrible things and to be grateful for those moments — that's an elusive art.
I think you have to be old to see how beautiful the terrible things are, my mother said that afternoon, and I suspect she's right.
Maybe we can't see the beauty in the terrible things until we're approaching the final beauty and terror. In other words, death: the ultimate proportion gauge.
Maybe only when you take your last step back from the canvas can you see how gorgeous all those wrong strokes and smudges look when viewed together.
All of the best times in my life have grown directly out of the worst times. What feels like manure often turns out to be fertilizer.
But what I took from my mother's remark wasn't just that good may grow out of bad. It's that the bad is its own beauty.
We all resist what's difficult and painful. We run from it. We curse it. It comes anyway, as inevitable as weather.
Most of us have gone through at least one time in our lives that we would call terrible. Everyone I know well certainly has.
A disease. A rape. A parent's suicide. The death of someone you love. The collapse of a dream.
These are things you would never wish on anyone, just as I would never have wished for my mother some of what befell her.
But as we approach Thanksgiving, I'm more grateful than ever to her for the ways she helped everyone around her understand that the hard times make you whole. They make you play the entire keyboard. They allow you to experience the full range of the most basic thing we give thanks for: being alive.


Lombroso's portrait in Radiant Dawn.
Lombroso (Japanese: ロンブローゾ Lombroso) is a Begnion army commander who fought in the war between the Laguz Alliance and Begnion. After Zelgius's defeat of Skrimir and the cease-fire between Begnion and the Alliance, he defied Zelgius's orders with the authorization of a senator and led an attack on Castle Seliora, where Ike and the Greil Mercenaries were staying, in an attempt to destroy the laguz and earn the war outcome that the Begnion Senate desired.
Lombroso is the boss of Part 3 Chapter 5 and acts as the commander of the Imperial Army units in this chapter. As the chapter is a defense chapter, Lombroso's defeat is optional, but defeating him will immediately end the chapter.
Like many of the senators he served, Lombroso saw the war with the Laguz Alliance as an opportunity to drive the "sub-humans" to extinction and was disappointed with how Zelgius's victory over Skrimir prevented that. He had very little respect for Zelgius, describing him as a "sanctimonious has-been". He readily pointed out to a senator, who outranked Zelgius, that he could ignore Zelgius's commands and authorize Lombroso to attack the laguz anyway. He believed that sheer numbers were enough to win a battle and had no real respect for strategy or skill.
— Lombroso, as the boss of Part 3 Chapter 5 in Radiant Dawn.
— Lombroso, when fighting Reyson in Part 3 Chapter 5 in Radiant Dawn.
Lombroso: Hmph, pathetic. Your tiny band of outlaws doesn't stand a chance before out might. We have more troops on the way. The onslaught will not stop until every last one of you lies dead!
Ike: Are you really the best Begnion could send?
Lombroso: What?! How dare you take that tone with me!
Ike: Or did they send you at all? Does General Zelgius know about this little excursion?
Lombroso: I don't take orders from that sanctimonious has-been. Enough questions. Prepare to die!

↑ "Senator: Gah! That insufferable fool! I cannot believe he killed one sub-human and ended the battle! Who gave him an order like that?! I don't care for such a petty victory!
Lombroso: I understand, my lord. I was hoping that this would be the end of the sub-humans, once and for all. However, can we really punish him for winning the battle?
Senator: No, you fool! That's what makes it even more bothersome! Zelgius and the apostle are both making mockeries of the senate! They're more of a threat to Begnion than those filthy sub-humans are!
Lombroso: My lord, please let me fix this painful situation. I shall take to the battlefield and earn us the result Begnion desires.
Senator: That does sound lovely, I admit. But hasn't General Zelgius ordered all forces to cease fire for three days?
Lombroso: Who is in charge here, my lord? Must you follow Zelgius's orders?
