The prospect of a Canadian federal election looks more likely in 2021. More than a year into the COVID-19 crisis, the country's mass vaccination campaigns are gaining momentum and most Canadians should receive their immunizations from local health authorities in the coming months. Notwithstanding the unknowns about the duration of protection afforded by the vaccines and their effectiveness against new variants, the odds in favour of a national election look better than those against. If the vaccination campaigns across the country avoid a major disruption and Canada achieves herd immunity, the broad protection against infectious disease that a population develops through vaccination or an earlier infection, the federal Liberals will be able to follow up the 2021 budget with an election call.
Three core issues are most likely to frame the election campaign when Ottawa drops the writ – the COVID-19 pandemic, sustainable development, and international mobility including immigration. The pandemic and Canada's response to it (including the country's indebtedness) will be the core issue up for debate. The social and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have been devastating. Regrettably, Canada reached a new milestone in April – 1 million COVID-19 cases and 23,000 deaths. The unfortunate reality is that pandemic will continue to test the limits of our collective resilience and adaptive capacity, even with an effective vaccine rollout campaign. Additionally, policy makers face the unenviable task of fostering a long-term economic recovery strategy that does not imperil the planet's ecological capacity.
Like several European countries and the United States, Canada has committed to ambitious climate action targets. The recent Supreme Court of Canada decision1 on the constitutionality of carbon pricing means that Ottawa can confidently advance the sustainability measures outlined in the Throne Speech including its commitment to "build back better" with priority investments in building retrofits, clean energy, and the production of electric vehicles.2 While immigration policy may not be openly debated like the COVID-19 pandemic or global sustainability, given that Canada's main political parties share a consensus view that immigration is key to the country's economic security, seamless travel in and out of the country will shape Canada's recovery trajectory and its engagement with the world.
Despite the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Ottawa recently announced its intent to raise permanent immigration levels to more than 400,000 for each of the next three years.3 Achieving this target would set a new immigration milestone. However, there are two reasons why such a commitment is unrealistic. First, many countries around the world are unlikely to achieve herd immunity by 2022, and international travel will remain fragmented for the foreseeable future. Second, Canadian cities will have trouble accommodating a sharp influx of newcomers given the housing affordability crisis and rental supply shortage. With an estimated 147,000 first-time home buyers locked out of the market since the introduction of the Canadian Mortgage Stress Test in January 2018, the decision to welcome 400,000 newcomers annually is impractical.4
Should Ottawa call a federal election this year, it will be an opportunity to reflect on Canada's recent past and to engage in a national conversation about the country's future, especially when it comes to the country's large and medium-sized cities. One of the most unique aspects about Canada is that 80% of the population is urban. This is one of the highest urban population concentrations among the G7 nations. The urban population is highly concentrated among 35 census metropolitan areas with more than 12 million people living in Toronto (5.9 million); Montreal (4.0 million); and Vancouver (2.4 million).5 In fact, the future of cities could appear as a "sleeper" campaign issue in an upcoming election. Apart from the urban concentration of the Canadian electorate, a key reason why cities could garner more attention is the indivisibility of urban governance from the pandemic recovery strategy, sustainable development, and international mobility.
In recent decades, there has been a growing recognition among academics and policy analysts that urban interventions are the proper way to address many contemporary challenges (ie., global economic competition, endemic poverty, inclusive development, environmental sustainability). The conceptual framing of contemporary policy issues is less technical and segmented and more networked and contextualized.6 Indeed, a key policy lesson of 2020 is that urban planners need to design strategies with a view to helping more people, in more places, and more often. This calls for much more holistic thinking about the multifaceted character of Canadian cities as well as the urban governance capabilities needed to secure an open and welcoming society.
For years, international observers have recognized Canada's large and medium-sized cities as some of the world's best places to live and work.7 Large cities such as Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, and Calgary consistently score high on global rankings because of their openness to newcomers and their vibrant artistic and cultural sectors. To sustain those advantages over the long-term, municipal leaders in partnership with government and community stakeholders, will need to commit more resources to the systematic analysis of urban sustainability. A signatory to the Paris Agreement and the United Nations-led 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, Canada has a moral duty to end poverty and promote inclusive development while simultaneously protecting the environment. Translating the aspirational goals of the 2030 Agenda into tangible outcomes will entail considerable investments across a range of urban infrastructure capabilities (ie., human capital, innovation, technology).
With regards to its economic competitiveness, the consensus view among national policy makers is that Canada is still disadvantaged by the small size of its cities and aging demographic. In fact, Toronto is the only city in Canada capable of competing directly with London, New York, Paris, Berlin, Shanghai, or Tokyo. This is important given that world's largest 600 urban centres, including 100 cities in China alone, are forecasted to generate as much as 60% of global GDP by 2025.8 To boost Canada's competitiveness and global influence, one domestic think tank is proposing that Ottawa consider raising the population to 100 million by 2100.9 Of course, this would place enormous pressure on Canadian cities. Although Canada's international reputation for welcoming and integrating newcomers is unparalleled, many urban planning assumptions would need to be re-examined by Canadians working collaboratively within a national dialogue framework.
In that regard, Prime Minister Trudeau directed Marco Mendicino, the Minister of Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), to introduce a Municipal Nominee Program (MNP).10 Much in the same way that the Provincial Nominee Program (1999) has helped to facilitate migration to less populated parts of the country (ie., Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and the Atlantic region), the MNP would allow local communities, chambers of commerce, and local labour councils to directly sponsor permanent immigrants. The COVID-19 pandemic derailed the MNP initiative, and it is unlikely to garner public support until the pandemic eases and Ottawa can relax international travel restrictions.
Nonetheless, this delay offers a window of opportunity to design a national urban strategy tied a broader vision about Canada's position in the 21st century global economy. This is a responsibility that Canadians should not take lightly as there are a multitude of urban models and development strategies to consider. With or without a federal election, Canada's approach to the management of its large and medium-sized cities will be a determining factor in how it prepares for and adapts to a rapidly changing world.

Temple vs SMU NCAA Football Betting Guide
Written by Alex Murphy on November 5, 2015
The Temple Owls will look to get back in the win column after suffering their first loss of the season last weekend. Now, let's find out if the big-time bowl game hopefuls can cover the college football spread as a double-digit road favorite against the lowly SMU Mustangs.
Betting the Owls vs Mustangs NCAA Football Spread & Game Info
When: 8:00 PM ET, Friday, November 6, 2015 Where: Gerald J. Ford Stadium, Dallas, Texas TV: ESPN2 Football spread: Temple -12.5 Over/Under: 55.5
Sean Chandler went from living in homeless shelters to being a scholarship football player for @Temple_FB. WATCH: https://t.co/Qd5dR9ehmH
— ESPN (@espn) October 31, 2015
How To Bet on the Temple Owls (7-1 SU, 6-2 ATS)
The Temple Owls had their seven-game winning streak snapped but played well in their narrow 24-20 home loss against Notre Dame in Week 9, although the Owls did cover the spread as a 12.5-point home dog just as I predicted. "It was a tough and hard fought football game against a very good Temple football team," said Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly. "I was proud of the way we played in the fourth quarter, making the plays when we needed to." Quarterback P.J. Walker completed 13 of 30 passes in the win with one touchdown and one interception while gifted running back Jahad Thomas added 82 yards and one score on 21 carries. The Owls also picked off Notre Dame signal-caller DeShone Kizer twice in the gut-wrenching loss. "Notre Dame is a great team and they made one more play than we did," said Temple coach Matt Rhule. "A lot of things went against our guys and we kept battling and battling. Even to the last play I thought we had a chance to come back and win the game." The Owls are ranked 58th in scoring (30.8 ppg) and ninth in points allowed (15.8 ppg).
How To Bet on the Southern Methodist Mustangs (1-7 SU, 4-4 ATS)
SMU has lost six straight games including its humbling 41-30 home loss against Tulsa as a 1-point underdog in Week 8. Quarterback Matt Davis completed 19 of 29 passes for 236 yards and three touchdowns to lead SMU but the Mustangs were held to just 84 total rushing yards in the defeat. Defensively, the Mustangs allowed Tulsa to go 3-for-3 on fourth downs while giving up 179 rushing yards and four touchdowns. The Mustangs are ranked 68th in scoring (28.8 ppg) and 124th in points allowed (43.6 ppg).
My Expert Temple vs SMU Game Analysis and Betting Pick
While a convincing 72 percent of the betting public likes Temple to get back in the win column and cover the spread against the lowly SMU Mustangs, I say it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. The Owls are very good on both sides of the ball and will undoubtedly want to unleash all of their frustration for losing at home against Notre Dame last week, out on the lowly Mustangs. The Owls are 4-1 ATS in their last five conference games, an identical 4-1 ATS in their L/5 road games and an encouraging 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games following an SU loss. Conversely, the SMU Mustangs are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven conference games, 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games and a discouraging 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall. The Temple Owls win going away! My Betting Prediction: Temple 35 SMU 14

Bolga Municipal Assembly sharply divided by politics; reason for delay in electing PM – Yorogo Assemblyman suggests
Despite six previous attempts, the Bolgatanga Municipal Assembly has failed to elect a PM. The Assembly is scheduled to meet again in the upcoming days to try again.
Lack of agreement among the political factions that have formed within the Assembly may be the cause of the Assembly's inability to elect an Assemblyman.
The situation might continue unless the political groupings step back and allow for concessions and consensus. This was said in a recent interview with the Assemblyman for Yorogo Electoral Area, Desmond Aniah Awine.
"The assemblyman should not be partisan. The concept of an assemblyman is getting someone to represent you as a community on a non-partisan basis. But you know, we are in a society where we eat with politics and wine and dine with politics."
"We have allowed politics to eat too much into our system. That is why we think that if 'A' would not get it, 'B' would not also get it. There has not been a fertile ground for us to compromise."
"If somebody says no [there is no politics in the Bolgatanga Municipal Assembly] it should be a lie. I even want to believe that across the country, such issues are there. Bolgatanga is not an exception," he said.
In the coming days, there would be another try for the Assembly to elect a PM.
"Just last week, we went to vote and none of them secured a win. That was on the 28th of September, 2022. In the next 10 days, we are supposed to reconvene for the election with the same candidates. If they do not get it, it means they would also step aside for others to take over."
"If it is not because of the politics in our blood, what could be the cause of this?" he asked.
Meanwhile, Daniel Awuure Nyaaba, Assemblyman for the Bongo Soe-Awukabiisi Electoral Area in the Upper East Region's Bongo District, is particularly worried that the election of a presiding member for the Bongo District Assembly will continue to fall short until Rita Atanga, the DCE, and other key players within the Assembly structure accept a crucial proposal put forth by elected assemblymen.

\section{Introduction}
Quasi-periodic pulsations (QPPs) have been observed during solar flares for many years in many wavelengths, from radio to hard X-rays \citep{Nakariakov09} and even gamma rays \citep{Nakariakov10}\footnote{This identification is questioned by \citet{Gruber11}}. The observed periods range from fractions of a second to several minutes. Recent work reflects this diversity in time scales and wavelengths of observation: \citet{Foullon10, Kupriyanova10, Reznikova11}.

\citet{Nakariakov09} divide the current interpretations into two classes: periodic load/unload mechanisms of non-thermal electrons produced during the flare (i.e. an intrinsic property of the reconnection mechanism that leads to a quasi-periodic behavior) or modulation of the electron beam or of parameters of the emitting plasma by magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) waves. \citet{Fleishman08}, for example, interpret their observations in the framework of quasi-periodic injection of fast electrons, while for \citet{Asai01}, the injection is modulated by an oscillation of the flaring loop. \citet{Inglis08} favor an MHD wave, but do not exclude a quasi-periodic injection of the fast electrons.

In this Letter we investigate this question by comparing the signal observed in different wavebands during a solar flare. We pay particular attention to the time delays and focus on short time scales fluctuations ($\lesssim 30$~s).
\section{Observations}
Many instruments observed the X2.2 flare that started at 01:44~UT on 15~February~2011 in AR~11158 \citep{Schrijver11}. We focus here on the instruments that provide high time cadence (cf Table~\ref{tab observations}).

The Large Yield Radiometer \citep[LYRA;][]{Hochedez06, Benmoussa09} on the Project for On-Board Autonomy (PROBA2) spacecraft observes at up to 100~Hz in four channels. We focus here on the Zirconium (Zr) and Aluminum (Al) channels, which both include contributions from soft X-rays (SXR) and Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV); see Table~\ref{tab observations} for details. LYRA's two UV channels, Lyman-$\alpha$ and Herzberg-continuum, contained no significant fluctuations, probably due to the degradation of the filters of the unit in use at the time of observation \citep{Dominique12}.

The Nobeyama RadioPolarimeters (NoRP) measured for this event solar fluxes at 1, 2, 3, 9, 17 and 35~GHz.
We also used reconstructed images from the Nobeyama RadioHeliograph (NoRH) at 17~GHz\footnote{available at \url{http://solar.nro.nao.ac.jp/norh/images/event/20110215_0154/steady_fujiki/}}.

The Euv SpectroPhotometer \citep[ESP;][]{Didkovsky12} is part of the Extreme ultraviolet Variability Experiment \citep[EVE;][]{Woods12} instrument suite onboard the Solar Dynamic Observatory \citep[SDO;][]{Pesnell12}. It comprises five channels: one SXR and four EUV channels.
The 18~nm waveband contains line emission that mainly comes from a plasma around 1--2~MK.
The 26~nm and 30.4~nm channels mainly contain \ion{He}{2} lines.
We subtracted an offset to correct an artificial jump in instrument bias that appeared beginning at 02:00~UT in all these channels. (We did not use EVE's 36~nm channel because of a technical problem with that channel.)

The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) provides SXR fluxes in a ``short-wavelength'' bandpass (0.5--4~\AA{}) and a ``long-wavelength'' bandpass (1--8~\AA{}).

The Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager \citep[RHESSI;][]{Lin02} observes from 3 to 20000~keV.
We restricted our analysis up to 300~keV, the emission being absent above that limit.

We also used the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly \citep[AIA;][]{Lemen11} EUV imager onboard SDO for context identification.
\section{Results}

   \caption{Time delays for the detrended irradiances calculated with respect to the detrended irradiance of the ESP 0--7~nm channel (a negative delay means that the channel is leading the reference channel). Only channels with correlation coefficient larger than 0.4 are shown. Errors bars are based on the sampling time.  }
	\label{fig time lag}
\end{figure*}

Panel~A in Figure~\ref{fig light curves and detrended} presents the light curves we observed in several different channels.  The Nobeyama 17~GHz channel, like the RHESSI channel (not included), shows the impulsive phase of the flare. The other channels peak with different delays, depending on their respective waveband and temperature response. Panel~B shows several irradiance curves with the large-scale trend removed, which we achieve by subtracting the corresponding signal smoothed with a 20-s boxcar.  For simplicity we omit channels from each instrument that feature similar properties.

Clearly, short time-scale fluctuations appear during the impulsive phase for each of the plotted channels. Some fluctuations of smaller amplitude are also present during the declining phase, for example, in the SXR channels.  In most cases, the fluctuations have a small amplitude relative to the overall increase in signal during the flare (Table~\ref{tab observations}).

Panel~C shows an enlarged view where we superimpose every channel (black) over the ESP SXR channel (red). Although the curves of total irradiance have different shapes, especially the radio channel, the short term fluctuations ($\lesssim 20$~s) are strikingly similar.

In most cases, time delays appear between similar features.  We investigated further by measuring the time delay that provides the maximum correlation between a channel and the ESP SXR channel, which we consider our reference channel; best correlation coefficients are shown in Table~\ref{tab observations}. We used linear interpolation to match the time cadence of the detrended signals (spline interpolation produced similar results).  We also smoothed each signal using a 1-s boxcar to reduce the effect of noise. This smoothing has a negligible effect, but the curves of correlation coefficient as a function of time lag are noisier and contain some spurious local maxima without it. Additionally, we verified that the best lags were not significantly different when using smoothing boxcars with widths from 5 to 30~s to remove the large-scale trend. We also cross-verified the optimal correlation lags by using several different channels for reference.

It is clear that some local extrema in the RHESSI channels are nearly in anti-phase with those in ESP SXR, while some other extrema are in phase. As most extrema in the RHESSI channels from 3 to 100 keV coincide, the effect of Poisson noise can be ruled out. Nevertheless, it is difficult to distinguish between the effect of signal integration over the 4-s rotation of the spacecraft, instrumental noise, and real differences with the ESP SXR channel due, for example, to different contributing processes. Such differences could also be the result of the fact that soft and hard X-rays (HXR) originate in different parts of the flaring region.

Figure~\ref{fig time lag} synthesizes the delay times with respect to the ESP 0--7 nm channel for channels whose best correlation coefficients were larger than 0.4.
There are three intervals over which the fluctuations exhibit clearly distinguishable behavior. Interval~1a lasts from 01:48:00 to 01:50:15; interval~1b lasts from 01:50:15 to 01:59:00. These intervals correspond to the early and late impulsive phase of the flare. Interval~2, from 01:59:00 to 02:10:00, corresponds to the portion of the declining phase where fluctuations are significant.

The main difference between intervals~1a and 1b is that some radio channels lead the reference channel during interval~1a, but do not during interval~1b. In fact, considering  possible offsets of the various instruments' clocks (believed to be $<1$~s), it is possible that the radio and ESP~0--7~nm channels are actually in phase during interval~1b. RHESSI time series also contain different lags during these two intervals as well. Thus we note that this behavior occurs particularly in wavebands characteristic of the impulsive phase.

All the other channels retain roughly the same lags throughout the impulsive phase. The three EUV channels are nearly all in phase and lead all the SXR channels. Within the EUV and SXR channels we find, roughly, that harder spectral components contain larger lags. Additionally, both LYRA channels slightly lead the ESP reference channel, which is likely due to combination of EUV and SXR emission that contributes to these wavebands.

During the declining phase (Interval~2), fluctuations appear in all SXR channels (but sometimes with correlation coefficient slightly smaller than 0.5), but not in the HXR, EUV or radio channels.

The bottom panel shows wavelet coherence between both channels (without detrending). The overlaid arrows indicate the phase difference between the SXR and the EUV channels in the given time scale. They follow the trigonometric usage: $0$ (or ``in-phase'') and $\pi/2$ (lag) correspond to arrows pointing to the right and the top, respectively. 	}
	\label{fig cross coherence}
\end{figure*}

This method used above disregards the frequency composition of the signal and, moreover, only responds to short time-scale fluctations. Computing the wavelet coherence between the signals, using the method of \citet{Torrence99}\footnote{software available at \url{http://atoc.colorado.edu/research/wavelets/}} may return additional information and can be performed without removing the long-term trend, but this method also has limitations. In particular, no useful information can be recovered for signals that are very similar on long time-scales, such a flare pulse, because all periodicities are found to be coherent and therefore cannot be distinguished. Nonetheless, it did prove useful for some of our data.

Figure~\ref{fig cross coherence} shows the wavelet coherence between the ESP SXR and 18~nm channels. The signals have been first normalized by subtracting the average and then dividing by the standard deviation (top panel). The detrended signals are only shown in the middle panel for comparison with the previous method. The bottom panel shows the correlation coefficient as a function of time and period. Arrows are overlaid to show the phase difference between the channels. The cross-hatched area correspond to the so-called ``cone of influence'', where results are influenced by edge effects.

Not surprisingly, we find enhanced wavelet coherence during intervals~1a and 1b for periods between 8 and 32~s.  This shows that those fluctuations are broad-band, like for most QPPs \citep{Nakariakov09}. We also find common oscillations during the impulsive phase in the 1--2~minutes range (lasting at least 2 periods).
In both ranges of periods, the phase delay is close to $-\pi/2$; that is to say the EUV is leading the SXR channel by about a quarter of a period.
During interval~2, we find common oscillations with periods of 3--5~minutes. This time, it is the EUV channel that lags the SXR channel up to  $\pi/2$. This range of periods is reminiscent of the \emph{p}-modes.\footnote{\emph{P}-modes have been analyzed with the ESP SXR channel by \citet{Didkovsky11} for ``quiet'' (nonflaring) time periods.}

We also find lagging and leading behaviors in wavelet coherence for other channels during intervals~1a and 1b (not shown). In particular, the RHESSI 3--6, 6--12, 12--25, and 25--50~keV channels show matching wavelet power in the 1--2~minute range with the ESP SXR channel, and all lead this channel by about $\pi/2$. As a cross-verification, the wavelet coherence analysis shows that they are nearly in phase with the ESP 18~nm channel in the 1--2~minute range.

The Nobeyama 3, 9 and 17~GHz radio channels also show matching wave power with the ESP SXR and 18~nm channels in the 1--2~minute ranges; they are nearly in phase with ESP SXR, but lag ESP 18~nm by about $-\pi/2$. For the 8--32~s-period range, their phase is different during intervals~1a and 1b ($\approx -\pi/2$ and $\approx 0$, respectively), but consistent with the analysis of the time lags presented in Figure~\ref{fig time lag}.

To determine the spatial localization of the QPPs emission, one must use images of the solar atmosphere.
Unfortunately, in most of the bandpasses (e.g. SDO/AIA, \emph{Hinode}/XRT, RHESSI) the cadence of the image acquisition is too low. The only exception is the NoRH data at 17~GHz, which have 2~s cadence, sufficient to detect the sources of QPP.
Figure~\ref{fig pos sources} shows that a radio source was present during interval~1a (upper left panel) and progressively moved to the West at 01:51. It progressively faded, but was still visible during interval~1b (lower left panel). Such motion is not unusual, e.g. \citet{Zimovets09}.
A second source started to be resolved at 01:53:08; before, both sources overlapped within the instrumental resolution. From the comparison of the detrended light curves of both sources and that of the full Sun, we conclude that the fluctuations during both intervals~1a and 1b are then emitted by distinct structures.

\section{Discussion and Conclusions}
We analyzed fluctuations on time scales $\approx$~8--32~s during the X2.2 flare of 15~February~2011. Their fine structure was similar in EUV, radio, SXR and HXR channels during the impulsive phase, but with time delays up to $\approx 9$~s. During the declining phase, the presence of fluctuations is less certain; they are only visible in the SXR channels, but still with time delays between channels.

There have been many studies of time delays in fluctuations during flares; for example between radio wavebands and HXR \citep[e.g.][]{Kaufmann83, Cornell84} or between HXR channels of different energy \citep{Aschwanden97}.  To our knowledge, this is the first time that EUV fluctuations leading SXR fluctuations have been observed on these time scales. We note, however, that \citet{Emslie78} measured lags $\lesssim 5$~s in EUV radiation relative to HXR for pulses on similar time scales as those we analyze.

Time shifts between clocks are of concern, but do not affect our general conclusions because there are significant time delays between channels of the same instrument, like the EUV and SXR channels of EVE/ESP.

A key question is the emission mechanism at work in the different wavebands. There is no doubt that HXR are emitted through bremsstrahlung (thermal or most probably non-thermal). But in the absence of observations with both high spectral and time resolution ($\approx 1$~s),
we have no evidence of whether the SXR or EUV fluctuations occur in  emission lines (through collisional excitation of the ions, mainly by thermal electrons) or in the continuum (implying bremsstrahlung).

Three physical mechanisms can produce time delays in the range of HXR energies \citep{Aschwanden04, Holman11}: time-of-flight (TOF) dispersion of free-streaming electrons, magnetic trapping with the collisional precipitation of electrons, and cooling of the thermal plasma \citep[Neupert effect,][]{Neupert68}.

Electrons of higher energy have smaller TOF from loop top to the chromosphere, where they typically produce hard X-ray photons. Therefore, the TOF effect introduces 10--100~ms delays in the 25--50~keV light curves as compared to 50--100~keV \citep[][]{Aschwanden95}.
As a consequence, TOF delays cannot explain our observations: first, we observe larger delays than expected between the HXR channels ($\approx 1$~s); second, the 50--100~keV channel should lead the 25--50~keV channel during interval~1b.

Due to magnetic mirroring between the loop footpoints, electrons of higher energy precipitate later because they are less likely to escape the magnetic trap.
\citet{Aschwanden97} finds typical delays of 1--10~s between HXR pulses at 200~keV and 50~keV and model them with trapping effects. The $\approx 1$~s delay between the two HXR channels during interval~1b is compatible with their results. The mismatch in the order of the channels in interval~1a could be explained by the effect of uncertainties, especially as this interval is shorter and contains fewer peaks for cross-correlation.

Radio signals at 17 and 9~GHz are delayed with respect to the 25--50~keV signal by about 2~s during intervals~1a and 1b. This is expected for trapped highly relativistic electrons (100--1000~keV) that produce gyro-synchrotron emission in those wavebands \citep{Dulk85}.
The variation in delay from interval~1a to 1b shown by HXR and radio channels coincides with  different spatial locations of the radio sources (Figure \ref{fig pos sources}). It is likely that the physical conditions (loop length, magnetic field) changed so that trapping times differ during those time intervals. As explained above, results in interval~1a must be interpreted with caution, though.

Cooling effects introduce delays in the peak times of channels more dominated by thermal effects (e.g. SXR) with respect to channels that present a more impulsive behavior \citep[microwaves, HXR; e.g.][]{Aschwanden07, Jain11}. Cooling effects are compatible with short-period fluctuations in SXR channels lagging those in the impulsive HXR channels, as we observe.
However, the same cooling effects are responsible for the flare peak to occur first in the GOES 0.5--4~\AA{} then in the GOES 1--8~\AA{} and in ESP 0--7~nm channels (see Figure~\ref{fig light curves and detrended}). Paradoxically, we observe exactly the reverse order in the short time scales fluctuations (Figure~\ref{fig time lag}).

\citet{Dennis85} reports on nearly simultaneous ($<1$~s) pulses in UV and HXR, as a result of chromospheric heating by precipitating electrons. We suppose that the EUV fluctuations during intervals~1a and 1b also originate from chromospheric heating, which explains the observed simultaneity with HXR channels ($\lesssim 1$~s during interval~1b).

Can the observed fluctuations be modulated by MHD waves?
\citet{Vandoorsselaere11} used PROBA2/LYRA to observe oscillations with two distinct periods during a flare: both $\approx 8.5$~s and
$\approx 75$~s period oscillations appear in the Zr, Al and Lyman~$\alpha$ channels. They interpreted the shorter periods in terms of the standing fast sausage mode and the longer periods in terms of the standing slow sausage mode. It is tempting to interpret our observations similarly as standing fast and slow sausage modes for the shorter (8--32~s) and longer (1--2~minute) periods respectively.
However, apart from the similarity with the mode periods, our observations cannot confirm or invalidate the modulation of the electron beam by MHD waves. Besides, MHD waves alone can hardly explain the observed delays between the signals in HXR, EUV and SXR channels.

In summary, we suggest that the fluctuations observed during the impulsive phase (intervals~1a and 1b) were produced by a beam of precipitating electrons, possibly modulated by MHD waves. When electrons reached the denser layers, they excited EUV as well as HXR emission in lower energy channels (12--25 and 20--50~keV).
Higher energy electrons were delayed by trapping effects: the higher the energy, the longer the delay to escape the trap. Therefore, the fluctuations appeared a few seconds later in 50--100~keV HXR and then in 9 and 17~GHz radio channels.

The case of the SXR channels is more puzzling.
The delays in these channels compared to EUV and HXR channels could be due to the Neupert effect, although the relative delays between the SXR channels are in reverse order than what is expected in this case.
This point certainly deserves more investigation and modeling.

Why More Students are Turning to Community College Today
We look at why millions of Americans are choosing community college over a traditional four-year school today.
Why Don't More Community College Students Transfer to Four-Year Schools?
Many students enroll in community college with the intent of transferring to a four-year school. Of those who do, many succeed, and yet traditional colleges and universities continue to overlook them. Read on to learn more about why more community college students don't transfer schools and to receive some tips for making the transfer yourself.
What Can Community Colleges Learn from this Year's Aspen Prize Winners?
Community college is the only option for many students who either can't afford a traditional four-year university or who need a more flexible school environment.

Q: What does "short brake" mean? I am reading the datasheet for a TB6612FNG dual H-bridge and see the term "Short Brake". I would like to stop a single motor for an extended period of time. Can (or should) I do this with the short-break function?
What does the term "Short Brake" mean? Is it short, like a short circuit? Or short like momentary?

A: It is "short-circuit" -- the Control Function table on page 4 says that you can make it actively drive both outputs to the same level by either driving both inputs HIGH, or driving one input HIGH and the other LOW while commanding the PWM low.  This shorts the motor out via the power or ground rail.
You should be able to do this continuously -- the main limit is the temperature of the motor windings and FETs as that's what dissipates the brake energy if something is trying to spin the rotor at the time.

A: Short brake is when the rotation speed creates back EMF in kV/RPM and is short circuited by a shunt FET across windings with suitable logic control on inputs Hi or Lo i.e. both to V+ or both to V- or both to 0V in bipolar supplies.
No power is applied to load at this time.
However I once had to stop a servo/circular sin/cos pot in 1ms without re-design... so my solution was short circuit the bipolar supply to the miniature motor for 1ms directly between V+ and V- to motor to Gnd thus creating a momentary short to 0V across motor coils stopping it instantly without excess heat. This was all done using serial SCADA commands to servo and it worked perfectly.
But in your case with only single supply. It can safely shunt to V+ or V-(0V) without supply drain.
The trick is to know the inertial mass on motor and BEMF and compute I* ESR*t  energy absorbed during fast brake then Energy pulse width vs SOA of component for margin.
If you had a large inertial mass like a flywheel, one could burn out the Driver FET or BJT unless you pulse the Brake like PWM to regulate the Fast braking current. Of course this also means you need PWM to soft start or use VFM method with V/f pseudo sine wave methods in other applications.

HP Wants to Cash In on Cloud Deployment
By Andy Patrizio | April 01, 2009
With momentum growing behind cloud computing as an alternative to traditional enterprise software, HP's looking to take steps to make sure it's got a dominant place in the cloud as well as the datacenter.
The company on Tuesday announced HP Cloud Assure, a project to help companies convert Web applications to a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform, while promising that such a move could provide the performance, security and availability that are foremost in customer concerns.
The move is aimed at capitalizing on burgeoning interest in cloud-based services, even as the trend may seem to run counter to HP's historic foothold in the datacenter. But HP (NYSE: HPQ) said it had been motivated to launch Cloud Assure after finding that customers were turning to cloud computing as a way of freeing themselves from the headaches of operating a costly, maintenance-intensive datacenter.
"We see some customers talking of the 'zero datacenter,' where they are going to move all their apps to the cloud," said Tim Van Ash, director of the Global Service Portfolio at HP SaaS. "It'll be interesting to see if they make that transition, but it's something I've actually heard from a number of Global 2000 companies. They don't see their core expertise at running infrastructure any more."
However, that kind of step doesn't mean simply taking a VMware virtual machine image and uploading it to Amazon EC2. "Of course, the problem there is the security infrastructure and security in the enterprise have to be created in the cloud if you take that move," Van Ash added.
That's where HP aims to come in.
Cloud Assure consists of HP services and software. On the software side, the offering includes HP Application Security Center, HP Performance Center and HP Business Availability Center, which are meant to address the three most common concerns of customers when deploying SaaS applications: availability, scalability and security.
"For some customers, while there's a lot of promise, the cloud paradigm also feels like a leap of faith," said Robin Purohit, vice president and general manager of HP's software products told a conference call in announcing the offering. He said it's meant for both large and mid-sized companies looking to save money over internal software deployments.
"Our ultimate goal is to take guesswork out of the confidence levels people have about deploying in the cloud and feel as confident about deploying in the cloud as they do in the four walls of their IT organization," he added.
All three are delivered SaaS-style and customers will also get a team of HP engineers to perform security scans, test performance, and monitor availability. The contracts have security assurances and HP backs them up with its own promises, according to Van Ash.
"The key thing from an assurance perspective is that we guarantee our services will be available 99.99 percent, and they include service penalties if we miss that," he told InternetNews.com.
[cob:Special_Report]HP software will scan the customer's networks, operating systems, middleware layers and Web applications and perform penetration testing, including some of the most common Web errors, like cross-site scripting and SQL injections. They will monitor performance and alert the customer if bandwidth and connectivity requirements are at their limit, and finally, HP will monitor the applications to isolate performance issues.
Because of the nature of the network and application scans, Cloud Assure is pretty much limited to Web applications, according to Van Ash. You won't be deploying a database or old client/server applications this way. It can service both internal-facing applications, the ones used by employees within a company, or external-facing apps that the Internet community can access.
HP Cloud Assure is available immediately and will be offered through HP's SaaS reseller program. HP expects that it will eventually become an offering through its EDS enterprise services company as well.

Othman Al Omeir: A pioneering Voyage by Adel Darwish*
See our full magazine here
PARLIAMENT NEWS MAGAZINE
Online and Printed Editions
London - United Kingdom
When British Biologists at Roslin Institute in Scotland introduced Dolly the sheep, proving that mammals could be cloned in February 1997, Othman Al- Omeir broke with the tradition of Arabic language media and splashed the story on eight columns as a front-page lead of the prestigious Asharq-Al-Awsat. It was an audacious editorial revolt. It challenged the unwritten ethical code set by the influential Muslim scholars against hailing "ungodly" scientific experiments; it also departed from Arabic papers traditions pf leading with the head of the state activities.
Although the 1978 launched Asharq Al-Awsat was a leading international Arabic language printed in several centres world-wide, it was associated with Saudi Arabia and its Saudi publishers. When Al-Omeir became its first Saudi born editor in 1987, he surprised media observers by not following Arabic editors tradition in toeing the official line. He irritated the officialdom by showing great independence. Within weeks of moving from his three years editing the weekly Al-Majalla to Asharq Al-Awsat he arranged a long-term sharing syndication service with the newly launched The Independent, Fleet Street first independent daily published by the journalists themselves, and with The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and The Wall Street Journal. Two years later, Al Omeir launched a Sunday edition of Asharq Al-Awsat and signed a syndication deal with The Sunday Times and The Observer.
Those deals provide his broad readership with translated reports and features by the Crème de la crème of the Anglosaxon reporters and writers. In exchange, foreign news desks, especially the London Independent, benefitted from Asharq Al-Awsat Arabic speaking reporters' first-hand account on the ground. Always believing in cross-culture sharing of knowledge and information, Al Omeir invited big names to contribute columns and features to his pages. Among them former American Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Senator George Mitchell of the Northern Ireland peace fame, and the American commentator Thomas Freedman. The latter's contribution was his gateway to visit Saudi Arabia and interviewing the then Crown Prince Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz (1924-2015), throwing light on the latter's ideas of a comprehensive settlement for the Israel-Palestinian conflict. Long before Abdullah IV became the Kingdom's sixth king (2005-2015), Al Omeir had interviewed him as a crown prince.
A courtier was surprised by Al-Omeir "western line of questioning Arb leaders", still alien to regional reporters. But Al-Omeir, to the envy of many journalists, was a seasoned reporter who interviewed leaders like lady Thatcher (1925-2013), and Prime Minister John Major at Downing Street, the German Chancellor Helmut Kohl (1930-2017), President Jacques Chirac (1932-2019), President Mikhail Gorbachev, King Fahd of Saudi Arabia (1921-2005), President George Bush Snr (1924-2018), King Hussein of Jordan (1935-1999). He interviewed leaders of Gulf states, China, Pakistan, Iran, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, and many more, published in two books. He also penned the introduction to the Arabic edition of lady Thatcher's memoir and edited and prefacing his late friend King Hassan II of morocco(1929-1999) memoir.
His next pioneering project was the first Arabic online daily combining newspaper and website concepts, Elaph, meaning solidarity, in 2001, attracting liberal-minded, democratic and free-thinking writers. Since Elaph has been and remains committed to totally free speech, its readership overtook the widest circulation pan-Arab dailies within three years. Despite being repeatedly blocked by several Arab governments, including in his birthplace, Saudi Arabia, in the first 10 years of its life, Elaph became the most widely read Arabic daily, as certified by The Audit Bureau of Circulation of 1.8 Million visitors, even after the scores of other big names launched their websites. Elaph, which was given the Artistic Creativity Award by the Arab Thought Foundation in 2007, was reported by Forbes in 2012 as the tenth most visited daily website among hundreds in the Arab world.
Described as a champion of free expression and one of the most influential journalists in the middle east, the dual British Saudi national Al Omeir was named as the Media Personality of 2006 by the Arab Media Forum "for his contribution to the industry in the Arab World"; and in 2009 he was awarded The New Media Future Prize by the Anna Lindh Foundation. Al Omeir continued to innovate in media with pioneering projects, especially in the multilingual field.
In 1991 he initiated a partnership in OR media producing the first comprehensive documentary on the first Gulf War and continued providing documentaries for the Middle East, Britain and the Americas.
In 2004 he became the publisher in control of the oldest newspaper group in Morocco, Maroc Soir group in Casablanca, earning him the amusing title "The Murdoch of The Middle East", ironically in a magazine he edited 20 years earlier.
However, adding the group, which published The French Maroc Soir and Le Matin, the Arabic Assahra Al-Maghribiya, and the English Morocco Times newspapers to Elaph and OR Media was another milestone on his multilingual multi-cultural media journey. Al Omeir played a more prominent role in modernising political thinking in the region. As a chairman of the Dubai based board of directors of Strategic Communications Group, he proved to be one of the most influential strategic thinkers in the Middle East region.
He often played the unofficial but pertinent role of special envoy and messenger between several East and West leaders. You can have a glimpse of this little-known part of his contribution to forging a better understanding, cooperation and working for peace If you attend Al Omeir power -lunches or dinner-discussions with former and present senators, British, American and European parliamentarians, top commentators and working diplomats. In the last dinner I attended before the covid-19 spring 2020 isolation, Al Omeir hosted a minister, American senators, two MPs, and top British, European and Arab diplomats and journalists comprising six different nationalities. His London abode's location is symbolically telling the story of his career and its multi-faceted aspirations. A penthouse overlooking the iconic Saint Clements church on Strand, the law courts, with one balcony overlooking Fleet Street where he started 40 years earlier, another, on a clear day, gives a view all the way to Whitehall and the top of The Palace of Westminster. Another location of his ongoing contact and work where he frequently visits friends in the House of Commons, linking politics with peace and journalism. His office and apartment are like a modern gallery exhibiting classic arts, paintings, and vintage photographs of American and British newsrooms, rare books, and manuscripts. He is a classical music fan with good taste and encyclopaedic knowledge, and a great collection of records. In a small dinner party he gave to visiting middle-age German couple Wagner was playing in the background; he corrected the visitors dating of the piece. His popularity and endless calls make it difficult to escape to the world of his beloved classical music when in his library-like living room by the Strand, so he escapes, when he can, to Ammoun of London. Ammoun, a 2000 built 31-meter yacht, is his summer retreat for short holidays where he can really relax, either listen to classical music or watch football on TV but mostly gather his thoughts to think of a next journalistic and media project. Ammoun affords him the privacy he never experiences in a resort, where he can work too. Ammoun is not his first yacht; he had smaller ones before it as he loves the sea, although the time he spends sailing is limited geographically to the Mediterranean between the southern French coast, Spain, and Morocco, just a few days in between engagements. But there are more open leagues to explore on the Odyssey, which he started since he became the youngest Saudi editor of a major daily, Al-Yum, in 1980. Even in his sixth decade, Al-Omeir was adding video and multimedia service EMM to Elpah in 2012, and in 2019 he was in negotiation with a European consortium to launch an English version of Elaph hosting British politicians' intellectual writings and to be expanded to two other languages for international readers. Unfortunately, with Covid-19 pandemic hitting Europe, the project was put on ice for the time being. But there is more to come from this unstoppable captain of letters and headlines.

Pardon the pun, but the Emerald City is a true gem of a city – a rapidly growing confluence of natural beauty, indoors artsiness, innovation and entrepreneurship, and Northwest weirdness. There's truly something to do for everybody in Seattle, and now that marijuana has been legalized in progressive Washington state, there's something for everybody to do while in an elevated state.
Even if you catch the city on a rainy day (but ask a native, it really doesn't rain that much), you won't be lacking for activities. Here are the Top 10 Things to Do While High in Seattle, and believe us, choosing just 10 really doesn't do justice to the Evergreen State's largest city.
The Cinerama offers the best seats in town for a movie, with a massive screen, crazy good acoustics, and recliners you could fall asleep in if it wasn't for the aforementioned acoustics. Be sure to check out the rotating mini-museum of movie costumes and memorabilia in the lobby.
The Seattle Pinball Museum is a living, playable testament to the cherished arcade game. 13 bucks gets you an all-day pass for the 30+ machines on free play.
If you're visiting town, you'll more likely than not make your way to the iconic Pike Place Market. A trip into the depths of the market will reveal Golden Age Collectables, Seattle's awesome stop for comics, toys, and other kitsch. Warning: you will be tempted to take home one of their life-size stand-up cutouts of Star Wars characters.
A pitching wedge and a putter is all you need to play the Greenlake Pitch and Putt, a super short 9-hole/par 3 golf course (the longest hole is 115 yards) next to one of Seattle's favorite spots to hang out in the sun. A pair can rent clubs, buy balls, and pay for a round for under $20.
Seattle is an artsy town, and that's no more apparent than during every first Thursday of the month and the First Thursday Art Walk. Held in Pioneer Square, the city's greatest concentration of galleries and art lofts, First Thursday is a great time to wander around, see works by up-and-coming talents, and (at a lot of places) enjoy some free snacks and adult beverages.
On the shores of Lake Washington, the Arboretum is 230 acres of woody marshland smack dab in one of the city's busiest neighborhoods. If you've got a couple extra bucks, the Japanese Garden is worth checking out, but otherwise you'll have no problem filling up an afternoon wandering trails, visiting other gardens, and seeing gorgeous views of Husky Stadium.
Scarecrow Video is a Seattle institution. It's got over 120,000 titles for rent across a multitude of formats, making it one of the biggest independent video stores in the country. Browsing its near-overwhelming aisles of obscure and out-of-print flicks is exponentially better than mindlessly scrolling through Netflix.
Fremont, the self-proclaimed "center of the universe," almost lives up to its billing every Sunday year round for the Fremont Sunday Market. There you can pass most of a less-lazy Sunday browsing old records, perusing vintage Seahawks gear, or checking out handmade jewelry, art, and other crafts. Hungry market-goers will definitely want to stop by the food trucks that park themselves there.
Way before Macklemore immortalized it for the world to see, Seattle has been a great town for buying cool, quirky, high-quality secondhand goods. Capitol Hill is a good place to start, with mainstay Value Village joined by Crossroads, Out of the Closet, and a host of other thrift shops. The thrift shop mecca, though, is the massive Goodwill Outlet near the International District.
Seattle's known for its music – it was home to Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain after all – and any night of the week you can find nationally-touring superstars, tiny DIY shows, and everything in between at venues all around town. Alt-weekly The Stranger keeps a good list of all the week's musical happenings.

At first, I didn't want to be the voice for Trayvon after he died but I decided I have no choice. Now, I'm called to act, and called to serve, it became clear to me there's an opportunity to turn our family's tragedy into something positive for many other families.
– Sybrina Fulton
The Trayvon Martin movement was not created to incite hate or further racial divide, but rather birthed to raise awareness to the social injustices that exist across America with regards to senseless gun violence against our young black and brown boys; the movement also focuses on the growing disparities in the lack of prosecution of the actual perpetrators.
It seems our kids are getting younger and younger, they're killing them younger and younger. There is no regard anymore for human life. There has to be somewhere where we draw the line and say, 'Listen, our kids want to grow up, too.'.
Found on CNN 6 years ago Crime
We have to change mindsets, we have to let people know that our children matter. Our sons and our daughters matter. We are hurting. This country is hurting.
I think this is shedding light to what's going on, this is not something new. It's been happening. ... But it's just been bringing light to what's happening. It's bringing it to the forefront which is why there's so much conversations. ... Because people are now realizing ... it's not just about African-American rights ... it's about human rights.
I think absolutely my son's race and the color of his skin had a lot to do with why he was shot and killed, in all of these cases, these victims were unarmed. These victims were African-American. That needs to be our conversation.
This trial speaks to me because I am that family, the family that's missing a son. I'm the family that's a victim of senseless gun violence. That's the purpose of me coming here, that's just to stand with the family, to be with the family and to show the support.

By Hilda A. Pool on	 December 31, 2021 Non Believer
LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL UNIT FOR VICTIMS – Pictured: Ice T as Detective Odafin "End" Tutuola – (Photo by: Virginia Sherwood / NBC / NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images)
*Ice-T took to social media this week to urge his fans to exercise caution amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the rise of the Omicron variant.
As reported by the explosion, the rapper and "Law & Order" star tweeted: "FYI: I have 5 friends who are fighting Covid right now … 2 in the hospital," he said, adding: "I know it's been a long time …… But it's NOT gone Stay safe people.
Around the same time last year, Ice-T shared an update on the state of health of his stepfather Steve who contracted the virus last summer.
We have previously reported… Steve had to be hospitalized in Arizona in July 2020 due to the coronavirus. Ice revealed last December that Steve was now "on Oxygen indefinitely".

FYI: I have 5 friends who are fighting Covid right now… 2 in the hospital .. I know it's been a long time …… But it's NOT gone. Stay safe people. ??
– ICE T (@FINALLEVEL) December 27, 2021
"My stepdad 'Coco's dad' was a serious 'No Masker' COVID hit him," he wrote on Twitter at the time. "Pneumonia in both lungs… 40 days in intensive care near death… Now he's on oxygen indefinitely. "
Ice-T also shared a photo of his stepfather wearing an oxygen mask, writing, "Ohhh, he's a believer now .. #COVIDisNotAGame."
The hip-hip icon told Jimmy Fallon last year, "Coco's dad is a guy who doesn't hide in Harley Davidson," he said. "[Coronavirus] put it on your back.
He went on to explain that Steve had pneumonia in both lungs and was almost put on a ventilator.
"It took her a month to get out of the hospital," Ice-T said. "Now he's home, but his lungs are damaged indefinitely. "
It took her stepfather "a month to get out of the hospital."
"There are still non-believers," he said of the public's response to the potentially deadly coronavirus. "I've been through so much in my life that I don't want to die because of it, especially with a new girl. I am aware and I am worried and I am careful.

In this session Breakout Strategy and Pullback strategy will be studied.
Breakout strategy is appropriate on the ranged market in which a trend would appear after a considerable amount of time.
Trader must draw the channel on the ranged market to determine whether it is horizontal or gradient.
Support and resistance lines should be specified, too. Breakout regions can be on the ranged or trend markets.
Trader must indicate the channel around the ranged market.
After channel is broken by the trend followed by a Pullback trend towards the channel, trader can place an order after a powerful reversal candle is formed on the edge of the channel.
This strategy can be exploited on all symbols, on ranged regions, such as EURUSD, GBPUSD, Gold, Silver and Oil.
The best symbols for this strategy are Oil and Gold.
Trader can select all timeframes, however, the best timespans for this strategy are H4 and Daily.
On the left graph, after the price fluctuated in a gradient channel, it has broken the channel followed by a Pullback trend.
Eventually, a Reversal candlestick has formed near the edge of the channel, on the Pullback point, hence, price increased towards the top.
Trader could place a Buy order over the Bullish candle that had formed completely.
A Bullish Flag pattern had formed in the channel so a trader could determine TP amount by measuring height of the first wave, H.
TP price could be H pips over the entry price, while SL price is lower than the Low price of that given Bullish candlestick.
On the right graph, after the price oscillated in a gradient channel, it has broken the channel followed by a Pullback trend.
Finally, a Reversal Bearish candlestick has formed near the edge of the channel, on the Pullback point, so price decreased towards the bottom.
Trader could place a Sell order under the Low of the Bearish candle that had formed completely.
A Wedge or Double Top pattern had formed in the channel, so trader could determine TP amount by measuring height of the last wave, H.
TP price could be H pips under the entry price, while SL price is higher than the High price of that given Bearish candlestick.
Trend must never cross the channel to inside of it after a Pullback, while candle must touch the edge of the given channel.
The example in MT4 platform on an upward ranged trend, a Triangle pattern had formed before the breakout occurred.
Then trend returned until the edge of the Triangle pattern, afterwards an Engulfing candle has formed, so a trader could place a Buy order with an entry price over that candle.
TP would be 100 pips higher than the entry price, while SL could be under that candle. Another example with the same pattern.
A Piercing Line candle has formed on the Pullback point, so a trader could place a Buy order with the entry price over this candle.
TP price was 160 pips higher than the entry price and SL was 37 pips lower than the entry price.
In a Horizontal ranged market, a Head and Shoulder pattern has formed, so a trader could draw the neckline to determine a breakout point followed by a Pullback trend.
A Shooting Star candle has formed on the Pullback point, so a trader could place a Sell order with an entry price lower than the Low price of thegiven candle and TP price would be 605 pips lower than the entry price.
On a Weekly timeframe, a Triangle pattern had formed, then the trend returned towards the Pullback point after it had broken the channel.
On the Pullback point, Piercing Line candle has formed and the trend moved towards the top.

A gunman killed 'multiple people' at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla., early on June 12, 2016.
A gunman killed 50 people inside a gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla., early Sunday morning.
Orlando Police Department Chief John Mina told reporters during a press conference that the gunman entered the Pulse Nightclub shortly after 2 a.m. and opened fire.
He said the gunman had an assault rifle, handgun and a device "on him." Mina told reporters that the gunman also took hostages.
A SWAT team entered the club shortly after 5 a.m. to rescue up to 30 people who were inside. Officers killed the suspect after they exchanged gunfire with him.
"There are multiple people that are dead inside," Mina told reporters.
Police described the shooting as a domestic act of terrorism.
Equality Florida CEO Nadine Smith expressed her organization's condolences in a message she posted to the Pulse Nightclub's Facebook page.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones of the victims," it said.
The Washington Blade will provide further updates as they become available.
Today, DC's Pride Festival will again hold the largest single public gathering of LGBTs of the year. LGBT residents and LGBT tourists from throughout the region and the country will attend.
We need to hear from Mayor Bowser directly as to what MPD will do today to insure public safety at the Festival.
We also need to hear from Mayor Bowser as to what she will do to restore MPD's LGBTLU unit to its former strength of 8 full-time officers with regular patrol duties at LGBT night spots.
We need to hear from every member of Council, too.
The shooter was a devout Muslim following his religion's teachings. But likely this will be blamed on Trump and Pat Robertson. Bet on it.
So much for saying being GLBT doesn't matter anymore in America! I just read they stopped a similar attack in L.A.. Wake up to the fact that just because we have gain many rights and freedoms like the right to marry, we still have a lot of people out there that hate us!
We need a strong community more than ever!

As a parent, the idea of anything bad happening to your child is unbearable. Mothers and fathers with young kids in particular have plenty of worries on their minds, while at the same time they don't want to restrict their children from living a good, full life. One Arizona family came up with a clever way to protect their kids from potential kidnappers, and amazingly, it worked to thwart an abductor's evil plan.
KSAZ reports that, in early November, a 10-year-old girl was walking with a young friend near a park in her neighborhood one afternoon. The two were approached by a strange man who was driving a white SUV. Reportedly, the man pulled up next to the two and told the 10-year-old that her brothers had been in a bad accident. He told her she needed to get in the car and come with him.
According to the Pinal County Sheriff's Office, the 10-year-old didn't recognize the man, so she asked him for the "code word." This "code word" was taught to her by her family, to be used in situations just like this. Incredibly, it worked. The man was flustered and didn't know it, so he drove off.
Neighborhood children said that the SUV was seen circling the park frequently and had obstructed most of his face with his hand when he approached the girl, so as not to be identified. The Sheriff's Office is investigating the incident.


Hi friends! Today I am sharing the third in a trio of paintings of my daughter Lila.
These were assignments for a figurative watercolor class I am taking to build my skills and grow as an artist. Honestly, I probably would never paint the same subject three times in a row unless it was assigned LOL! You probably remember the Monochrome and Low Key paintings as I have shared them during sketchbook sunday over the past two weeks. We wrap up this series with a high key version of the same painting. My daughter Lila likes this one best!
You can see how it all come together in this time-lapse video.
These paintings were really educational to do and I definitely see where painting the monochrome first really cemented the values on my brain so when I went to use color I got the values right instead of relying on color for distinguishing shapes and form. Since I worked on each of these over the course of a week it was also educational for me to re watch the process to see the stages of the painting as it progressed. I hope you give a series of paintings like this a try at least once, it is a really useful method for getting true values and getting to know your subject. Til next time happy crafting!
No Sketchbook Sunday Video but here is a photo or what I worked on this week!
Hi friends! I didn't film the process of this painting done for the bold figures in watercolor class I am taking because the process was so similar to the monochrome of this same image I did last week.
I am also working a high key saturated version of this painting of my daughter Lila and I am filming that one as the process is a lot different and I'll have that for you next Sunday. Honestly I thought I would have time to come up with something else for you today but I didn't. I did post several new videos on YouTube this week so check those out to see if there is something you missed that you might enjoy:) We are in peak foliage season in Maine and we are going to go see what we can see! Hopefully I'll have some photos to share with you when I get back! Have a wonderful Sunday and til next time happy crafting!


Kohtala smashed the Long Jump record with a distance of 19-feet 4-inches. That is over a foot more than she jumped earlier in the indoor season. Only Kate Hall has jumped a longer distance in Maine high school history. And, track observers were saying it's the 7th longest jump in the country this year.
Kohtala was not done though. She won the 200M and 400M events in the small school division.
Hampden Academy's Helen Shearer won the 1-Mile event (5:24.58) and the 2-Mile event (11:25.07) in the large school division.


Yuma, Ariz. - U.S. Border Patrol agents stationed throughout Yuma, Ariz., Sector arrested 14 suspected drug smugglers in three separate incidents over Memorial Day weekend and seized more than $1,000,000 worth of drugs. On Friday evening, Border Patrol agents working at the Highway 78 checkpoint south of Blythe, Calif. referred a 2003 Nissan 350Z for secondary inspection after a Border Patrol canine team alerted to the vehicle. Agents inspected the vehicle and found six plastic bags of methamphetamines hidden throughout the passenger compartment. The methamphetamines weighed nearly three pounds and are valued at approximately $55,000. The driver and contraband were taken into custody and subsequently turned over to the Drug Enforcement Administration. On Saturday, Border Patrol agents assigned to the Yuma Station detected the illegal entry of a vehicle about 20 miles east of San Luis, Ariz. As agents responded to the area, the driver of the vehicle turned around and drove back toward the border to avoid arrest. The driver stopped just north of the border and he and three other occupants fled back into Mexico.
Yuma Station agents seized a 2009 Jeep Wrangler loaded with 524 pounds of marijuana on Saturday.
Agents secured the vehicle and discovered 23 bundles of marijuana. The marijuana weighed 524 pounds with an estimated street value of $419,200. The marijuana was turned over to DEA and the vehicle, a 2009 Jeep, was seized by the Border Patrol.
