Now that we have taken a good look at What is Forex, Training, Software, Trading Times and Analysis, we need to understand what it is that we are actually trading. We should by now have understood that we are Trading Money. Now we need to understand how that money is displayed in a typical foreign exchange market.
Currency is generally an accepted form of money, including coins and paper notes, which is issued by a government and circulated within an economy. Used as a medium of exchange for goods and services, currency is the basis for trade.
When you trade forex, you will be trading a currency pair for example the GBP/USD. Directly put, 'What is the value of the GBP against the USD?' One currency normally has a greater value than the other. This is mostly reflected by a countries economic status. In the above example, the GBP is called the base currency and USD is called the quote currency.
The Bid (buy price) represents how much of the quote currency is needed for you to get one unit of the base currency. Conversely, when you sell the currency pair, you sell the base currency and receive the quote currency. The Ask (sell price) for the currency pair represents how much you will get in the quote currency for selling one unit of base currency. So in the above example, the bid or buy price represents how many USD are needed to buy one unit of the GBP. The ask or sell price represents how many USD you will pocket for selling one GBP unit.
In previous articles, I mentioned go long and go short without properly explaining. That is what It basically means to go long or go short on a currency pair.
In the above, you would buy the currency pair (go long) if you thought the GBP was going to gain value against the USD. Conversely you would sell the pair (go short) if you believed the GBP was going to lose value against the USD.
Traders buying currencies are referred to as Bulls. Traders Selling currencies are referred to as Bears.
Buy = Go Long (Bulls) (Bullish Market when price is going up) i.e. There are many Bulls for the GBP/USD pair today, meaning the price is going up. There are a lot of traders buying the GBP/USD pair and the forex chart is displaying the value of the GBP against the USD going up up and up.
Sell = Go Short (Bears) (Bearish Market when price goes down) .i.e. There are many Bears for the GBP/USD today meaning the pound price is depreciating against the dollar. It's time to join the party and sell the GBP/USD for some green. Green = Profit.
The Bid (buy Price for the broker) is normally lower than the Ask (sell Price for the broker). Bid on the left Ask on the Right. The ask price is also refereed to as the offer price. The broker or bank always buys currency at a cheaper price than they sell it. That is how they make their margin. Your broker offers the ask price, so in the above example the asking price for a trader to buy the GBP would be the value quoted on the right side. You will then Buy the GBP for 2.0466 from the broker and if you wish to sell the GBP you would sell it for 2.0463 to the broker.
If the Trader bought the GBP/USD pair @ 2.0466, they would have to wait for the value to go up and above 2.0466 in order to sell the pair for a profit. If the price remains exactly the same, they would have to sell it at a loss, because the broker will always buy at a lower price. So if the value stays the same or lowers you will be losing money if you had bought the pair. The same applies if you sold the pair and the price went up instead.
Currency quotations use the abbreviations for currencies that are prescribed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). For example the major US Dollar is abbreviated as (USD). Currency Symbols always have three letters. The first two identify the country and the third the currency.
All currencies and pairs normally have a Nickname.The Term on far right is the currency or pair Nickname. For example, the US Dollar is nicknamed Buck. These Nicknames vary from trading centers in New York, London and Tokyo.
Other currencies are classed as Minor Currencies and they are normally traded against a Major Currency.
Exotic Currency Pairs are currency pairs that are not common in the Foreign Exchange Market. Exotic currency is usually from developing countries such as parts of Asia, the Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. These often have huge spreads between the ask and the sell price. In comparing an exotic pair USD/ZAR to the popular major EUR/USD pair, the difference in spreads is about 200%.
Note: the exotics are not the best place to begin as a trader. Start with the majors and crosses first. This is some great advice for a newbie.

UK: Only one in eight teachers trained to deal with homophobic bullying
Nick Duffy July 4, 2014
A poll has found that just one in eight teachers are trained to deal with homophobic bullying in schools.
The poll, conducted by YouGov on behalf of Stonewall, found that just 8 percent of primary teachers and 17 percent of secondary school teachers had received training on the measure.
In addition, 29 percent of secondary teachers and 37 percent of primary teachers said they were unsure if they were allowed to teach about LGBT issues.
Anna Williams, deputy head of Hackney New School, told Radio 4: "Homophobic bullying isn't something that's part of most schools' programmes, and it's certainly not something that's part of teacher training programmes.
"Schools that deal with this successfully make sure that as part of their induction programmes for staff, this is one of the things that's dealt with as a priority.
"It's really about creating that culture in a school that shows this is unacceptable. You need to make sure every instance of homophobic language is challenged, [and] nipped in the bud early on.
"If you're homophobicly bullied, it's going to have an impact on your self-esteem and your education.
"We need teacher training providers to really step up, and make it part of their programme. There's nothing about homophobic language."
The poll also found that despite the lack of training, 66 percent of secondary teachers agree that homophobic bullying has a detrimental impact on pupils' achievement and attainment.
Ruth Hunt said: "Teachers are the most powerful tool that we have in the fight to tackle homophobic bullying. Sadly our new research shows that, despite some progress, the legacy of Section 28 is lives on in Britain's schools.
"We've seen what happens when schools fail to get to grips with teaching the realities of 21st century Britain.
"The Government must now make it a priority that every single teacher is trained to tackle all types of bullying and abuse in our schools."
Only one in 10 London primary teachers said they knew they could discuss subjects such as same-sex parents with students.

5 Facts About Beethoven
By Susan Alexander	 On Dec 14, 2020 0
1. Ludwig van Beethoven was born 250 years ago this week.
Born in Bonn, Germany, the actual date of his birth is unknown, but he was baptized on December 17, 1770.
2. His musical talent was apparent at a young age.
He began lessons at age 5, and published his first composition, a set of keyboard variations, in 1783.
3. At age 21 he moved to Vienna to study under Haydn.
Shortly thereafter, his hearing began to deteriorate. However, he continued to conduct orchestras. He was almost completely deaf by 44 and gave up performing in public.
4. He wrote music for wealthy patrons.
In all, he wrote nine symphonies, 32 piano sonatas, one opera, five piano concertos, and many chamber works including some ground-breaking string quartets.
5. He died in 1827 in Vienna, after being bedridden for months.
But his works remain mainstays of the classical music repertoire. Both a monument and a museum have been erected in Bonn to his memory.

Aviation History Book Review: Bristol F2 Fighter Aces of WWI
By Barrett Tillman
Bristol F2 Fighter Aces of World War 1
by Jon Guttman, Osprey Publishing, Oxford, England, $20.95.
Jon Guttman's latest offering is a long-awaited title, since the Bristol F.2B is easily the most popular World War I two-seater among buffs and historians. As with all Osprey titles, the Bristol entry contains a wealth of illustrations: 105 photos plus 42 color profiles and excellent line drawings.
Like the S.E.5, the "Brisfit" (a nickname popular with the general public but detested by its aircrews) was a 1916 design that had unusual longevity: Both entered combat in April 1917 and remained competitive more than 19 months later. In fact, the Bristol F.2B remained in squadron service into the early 1930s. The big Bristol got off to a poor start, however. The F.2A's debut on April 5, 1917, resulted in a debacle wherein Manfred von Richthofen's Jasta 11 tore apart a formation of No. 48 Squadron led by Victoria Cross recipient Captain William Leefe Robinson. The Zeppelin killer proved no match in fighter combat, himself becoming a POW while four of his six planes were downed that day.
Despite its inglorious start, the Bristol quickly proved its worth, flying with at least a dozen squadrons in Europe and the Middle East plus air defense units "at home." Along the way the type produced 121 ace pilots and 126 observer aces, the best known being Canadian Andrew E. McKeever (31 victories) and Londoner Charles G. Gass, the war's leading gunner with 39 kills. Guttman describes the careers of some intriguing fliers, including American brothers Paul and Thayer Iaccaci plus Wilfred Beaver, an Englishman often misidentified as a Yank in the RAF when in fact he gained U.S. citizenship much later.
The most intriguing chapter is the last, illuminating the tremendous records of No. 111 Squadron, Royal Flying Corps, and the unit to which it passed on its Bristols, No. 1 Squadron, Australian Flying Corps. Those units proved a force multiplier in Palestine, effective far beyond their surprising number of aerial victories. Exploiting the F.2B's range and speed, they excelled at deep reconnaissance and intelligence gathering, and contributed heavily to the annihilation of the Turkish Seventh and Eighth armies in the Third Battle of Megiddo.
After finishing Bristol Fighter Aces, any red-blooded reader will want to man his Brisfit and go strafe the Bray-Corbie Road.

Q: Can we filter out just the domain name from a link in a TextField object using urlize and a custom method? Is it possible to use urlize and a custom filtering method in a TextField object to filter out the domain part of the URL, leaving the suffix and the prefix? For example: in, "hey this is a link https://www.google.com" we filter it out and the result looks something like this "hey this is a link google". I would really appreciate it if someone can help, thx!

Salvatore Bocchetti (Nápoles, Ciudad metropolitana de Nápoles, Italia, 30 de noviembre de 1986) es un entrenador y exfutbolista italiano que jugaba de defensa. Es primo del también futbolista Antonio Bocchetti.

Trayectoria

Como jugador
Salvatore dio sus primeros pasos como profesional en el ascenso italiano, haciendo su debut en primera división en el Ascoli Calcio donde disputó 2 partidos en la temporada 2006-2007, para luego ser transferido al Frosinone Calcio de la Serie B, a cambio de 1,5 millones de euros, logrando continuidad y mostrando un gran nivel.

Su paso por el Frosinone no pasó desapercibido por el Genoa, quien se quedó con su ficha a cambio de 2,2 millones de euros, club donde logró posicionarse como titular y donde a base de buenas actuaciones logró ser convocado a la selección italiana, formando parte del plantel que disputó la Copa Mundial de Fútbol de 2010.

En la temporada 2010-2011 fue contratado por el Rubin Kazán, el cual pagó su ficha por 9,5 millones de euros, y en donde firmó un contrato de tres años. En enero de 2013 pasó al Spartak de Moscú a cambio de 4,5 millones de euros. En enero de 2015 el A. C. Milan hizo oficial su préstamo por seis meses.

Tras abandonar el conjunto moscovita al término de la temporada 2018-19, regresó a Italia para jugar en el Hellas Verona las siguientes dos temporadas. De cara a la segunda de ellas fue cedido al Delfino Pescara 1936. Al término de la misma anunció su retirada.

Como entrenador
Después de haberse retirado siguió en el Hellas Verona y en julio de 2021 fue nombrado entrenador del equipo sub-18. Tan solo dos meses después dejó el puesto para ser asistente de Igor Tudor en el primer equipo. Con la salida de este a final de temporada volvió a las categorías inferiores para dirigir al Primavera.

El 13 de octubre de 2022 fue nuevamente promovido al primer equipo para ser el entrenador. No tenía la licencia necesaria para poder dirigirlo, por lo que tuvo que dejar el cargo al cabo de un mes y siguió como asistente del nuevo entrenador Marco Zaffaroni.

Selección nacional
Fue internacional con la selección de fútbol de Italia en 5 ocasiones. Debutó el 10 de octubre de 2009, en un encuentro válido por las eliminatorias para la Copa Mundial de Fútbol de 2010 ante la selección de  que finalizó con marcador de 2-2.

World War II Snipers: The Men, Their Guns, Their Stories
This article appears in: December 2022
By Christopher Miskimon
Private Harlan J. Hinkle enlisted in the United States Marine Corps the day after the Pearl Harbor attack. After attending the Scout-Sniper School at Camp Elliott, California, he served on 10 islands across the Pacific Ocean. On one occasion he shot a Japanese sniper who turned out to be a woman, a rare occurrence for the Japanese military, which did not use women in combat roles. Harlan got to her before she died and as she lay dying, she told Harlan she lived in California for 16 years and was a graduate of the University of California. She had returned to Japan before the war to visit relatives. Once the conflict began, she was forced to join the army. This turn of fate eventually led her into the crosshairs of Harlan's sniper rifle.
Each combatant nation had its own methods of selecting and training snipers, arming and equipping them, and then utilizing them in action. This book goes over the details of these snipers, with sections covering them in action and the weapons they used. The book has hundreds of illustrations, including excerpts from wartime manuals and close-in views of various rifles and sighting systems. There are also hundreds of vignettes from the snipers themselves.

Before the Court in Qingdao Qihang Tyre Co. et. al. v. United States, Slip Op. 18-176, Court No. 16-00075 (December 19, 2018) were Commerce's determination made on remand regarding the administrative review of an antidumping duty order on off-the-road tires from China. The Court previously remanded the results for Commerce to reconsider downward adjustments made to determine export price to account for Chinese irrecoverable VAT, the surrogate value for the reclaimed rubber manufacturing input based on Global Trade Atlas data from Thailand, and the surrogate value obtained from the World Bank's Doing Business 2015 report for valuing foreign inland freight. For the following reasons, the Court sustained Commerce's remand determination.
Commerce, under protest, recalculated export price without making downward adjustments for Chinese irrecoverable VAT. Commerce was required to address any "export tax, duty, or other charge imposed by the exporting country on the exportation of the subject merchandise to the United States." The Court dismissed Commerce's protest and sustained the determination because "the record in this case does not support the notion that China imposed an export tax, or anything resembling one, on the subject merchandise." Id. at 7. Commerce also reconsidered its surrogate values and instead used Romanian import price data for reclaimed rubber, and the World Bank's Doing Business 2016: Thailand report for inland freight. The Court sustained these determinations because the sources "constituted the best available information." Id. at 8.
Before the Court in Arbed Americas, LLC v. United States, Slip Op. 18-177, Court No. 15-00095 (December 21, 2018) were cross motions for summary judgement regarding Customs denial of protest regarding the collection of antidumping ("ADD") and countervailing ("CVD") duties assessed on six entries of stainless steel plate coils from Belgium. The entries of steel in question were produced in Belgium and imported into the U.S. by plaintiff in 1999. In 2001, Commerce published an administrative reviews of ADD and CVD orders covering the period and products at issue. The reviews were challenged, but ultimately Commerce issued instructions to Customs to liquidate the concerned entries, including plaintiff's entries. The application of this instruction was challenged in further litigation. However, the litigation only included 211 specific entries, none of which were plaintiff's entries. A preliminary injunction was ordered by the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ("CAFC"), and instructions issued to Commerce not to liquidate any of the 211 entries concerned. Eventually, litigation ended and in January 2011 Customs attempted to liquidate the plaintiff's entries and receive ADD and CVD payment. Plaintiff filed a protest arguing that under 19 U.S.C. § 1504(d) the six entries were deemed liquidated six months after August 31, 2006 when Customs received instructions that implemented the preliminary injunction ordered by the CAFC. For the following reasons, the Court agreed with plaintiffs that the entries had previously liquidated.
"An entry must be liquidated within one year after the date the merchandise is entered for consumption unless the time for doing so is extended administratively or suspended by a statute or court order." Id. at 6. "The Federal Circuit has held that in order for deemed liquidation to occur by operation of law, three elements must be met: "(1) the suspension of liquidation that was in place must have been removed; (2) Customs must have received notice of the removal of the suspension; and (3) Customs must not liquidate the entry at issue within six months of receiving such notice." Id. at 7. The Court said that the instructions issued to Customs about the CAFC's preliminary injunction was an "unambiguous and public notice to Customs … that suspension of the liquidation of Arbed's six entries … orders had been removed." Id. at 15. The Court dismissed the Government's arguments regarding CBP's ministerial role because a reasonable Customs official could not have read the instructions other than applying to the 221 entries specifically named in the instructions, none of which were plaintiff's entries. The Court found that the entries were deemed liquated by operation of law on "September 13, 2006, when the 90-day period for petitioning the Supreme Court for certiorari from the Federal Circuit's decision of June 15, 2006 expired." Id. at 18.
Before the Court in Shenzhen Xinboda Indus. Co. et. al. v. United States et. al., Slip Op. 18-179, Court No. 16-0016 (December 26, 2018) was Commerce remand determinations regarding the final results in an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on fresh garlic from China. The Court had previously remanded for Commerce to reconsider the issue of surrogate country information and deferred consideration of Plaintiff's additional challenges pending the results of Commerce's remand redetermination. For the following reasons, the Court sustains Commerce determinations regarding surrogate value for raw garlic and remands Commerce's addition of delivery costs to the surrogate value for raw garlic and calculation of Plaintiff's movement expenses.
"When an antidumping duty proceeding involves a nonmarket economy country, Commerce determines normal value by valuing the factors of production in a surrogate country." Id. at 6. "In selecting surrogate values, Commerce must use the best available information that is, to the extent possible, from a market economy country or countries that are economically comparable to the nonmarket economy country and significant producers of comparable merchandise." Id. On remand, Commerce reopened the record and choose Romania as a surrogate as opposed to its previous surrogate Mexico. The Court sustained this determination because the Romanian data was "more contemporaneous than the annual data from Mexico" and the "Romanian data represented a broad market average," which could not be said about Mexico. Id. at 9. By contrast, the Court disagreed with the surrogate values for movement expenses. While calculating the cost of inland freight using the Romanian surrogate data, Commerce presumed a container payload weight of 10,000kg for the garlic. The Court said that this was unsupported by substantial evidence because there was no record evidence to support the payload weight. Only the weight issue was remanded for reconsideration.


Belgian sport burst into euphoria after their hockey team lifted the Odisha World Cup in Bhubaneswar on Sunday after a heart-stopping shootout against three-time champions the Netherlands. Winning the country's first ever team sport world title will reportedly draw the Red Lions to a grand reception in Brussels where the mayor has invited them to appear in the city hall's balcony on Tuesday. In a sense, you could say the World Cup has made a visit to its former home.
For long, the Federation Internationale de Hockey (FIH), was based in Brussels before moving to Lausanne, Switzerland, in 2005. And for decades, Rene Frank, a Belgian, presided over the destiny of hockey as FIH president. During his tenure from 1966 to his death in 1983, hockey metamorphosed into a major sport.
Frank, was once referred to as a "benevolent dictator". Sweeping rule changes that included the change of the three-player offside rule to two, the discontinuation of the bully-off and the hand-stop at penalty corners, the hit-ins instead of the push-ins and the most revolutionary – the introduction of artificial surfaces – were catalyzed by his foresight.
It all added up to a sport, modernized and dynamic, the trappings of which were plain to see in Belgium's rise to the pinnacle in Bhubaneswar after being on the threshold for almost a decade.
It all started with a last-gasp 4-3 win over Germany in the 2007 European Nations championship bronze medal play-off in Manchester that secured Belgium a place in the 2008 Beijing Olympics and deemed their beaten opponents to take the long route towards qualification.
On Sunday, before an appreciative 15,000 crowd, the Red Lions beat their illustrious neighbours 3-2 in a sudden-death shootout after an hour's regulation time produced no goals.
They showed fine character in taking an unfavourable referral in their stride after already having broken into celebration at the end of the set of five. It broke a depressing run of silver medals – twice at the Euro Nations championships (2013 and 2017) – and the 2016 Rio Olympics.
The World Cup now has a sixth winner after Pakistan (4), the Netherlands and Australia (3 each) and India have shared titles at 14 editions played thus far with the first one in Barcelona in 1971. Belgium remained unbeaten in the competition, having come through their pool as second best after a 2-2 draw with India and 2-1 and 5-1 wins over Canada and South Africa respectively.
The Red Lions saw the positives of playing an extra match, the cross-overs, where they pummeled Pakistan 5-0. A 2-1 win over twice-champions Germany in the quarterfinals was followed by a 6-0 rout over England in the semifinals. A goalless draw in the final brought their goal record to 22-5.
Despite the absence of goals in open play, the Belgians and Dutch produced a match worthy of a major final. Belgium became the first team to win a World Cup final without forcing a penalty corner, somewhat summing up the suspect potency of the award in the tournament where, at the other end of the pitch, Dutchman Mink van der Weerden experienced a dismal World Cup.
Aurthur van Doren, emerged best player of the tournament, reiterating his status as 2017 FIH Player of the Year. Alexander Hendrickx, another key defender, emerged joint-top scorer with Australia's Blake Govers with seven goals apiece.
Vincent Vanasch, however, made the crucial difference between two well-matched sides with a heroic performance in the shootout which went to sudden-death as well as in regulation play.
There were similarities in Belgium's triumph here and Pakistan's in 1994 in Sydney. Defender Simon Gougnard stayed with team in their road to glory despite the demise of his ailing father two days before the tournament's conclusion.
Tahir Zaman did the same.
Both nations beat the Dutch in the tie-breaker in the final – Pakistan doing so in the old system of penalty strokes.
Thomas Briels, the ebullient forward captaining the side, asserted that the stupendous performance by his team was no more, nor less, than a team effort while dedicating the triumph to Gougnard and his family. "I couldn't be more proud. We are the world champions and we showed today that our best player is the team," said the 31-year-old stalwart of 315 international matches.
Briels, a podiatrist by profession, inspired to help his team to put their best foot forward. Ironically, like several of his teammates, Briels plays for Oranje-Rood in the Netherlands, the country they beat in final. So does Arthur van Doren, 24, who plies his trade with the iconic HC Bloemendaal. And in Shane McLeod, a New Zealander who loves living in Belgium, the national team has made rapid progress since he took over in 2015.
The Belgians had the personnel to execute any role in Bhubaneswar. Their draw against India in the back-drop of a 15,000 vociferous and partisan crowd showed character and ability as they played the kicking-back to perfection to equalize late in the game. Then, in the final, the team rode a roller coaster of emotions after they thought Arthur van Sloover won it for them in the shootout.
Florent van Aubel, a veteran forward of 203 international matches, showed remarkable composure to fire home past goalkeeper of the tournament Pirmin Blaak before Vanasch forced Jeroen Hertzberger to send his backhander over the crosspiece.
The celebration this time around were final. Not only were Belgium World champions, the epic win took them to No. 1 in the world rankings.

The upper arms are a major problem area when it comes to excess fat accumulation. While diet and exercise are the ideal means of getting rid of unwanted body fat, these measures are sometimes not enough. In such instances, the best solution is BodyTite. BodyTite RFAL Arm liposuction treatment is a safe and popular option now that provides surgical results without the scars. This is a minimally invasive procedure that can be done under local anesthesia and eliminates the need for an anesthesiologist. This InMode RF system utilizes radio-frequency assisted lipolysis (RFAL). Reliable plastic surgery practices in NYC are offering this effective cosmetic procedure to shape, tighten and lift the arms, providing a more youthful appearance.
With the increasing popularity of this procedure and with many prospective patients requesting more information regarding the procedure and its effectiveness, leading plastic surgeons are providing educational sessions on BodyTite procedures. bodySCULPT® plastic surgeons Dr. Spero Theodorou and Dr. Christopher T. Chia were invited by Inmode Aesthetic Solutions to speak at the RFAL – Aesthetic Surgery Workshop seminar last December. There was a BodyTite RFAL livestream arm treatment session during the event with Dr. Chia performing BodyTite liposuction and Dr. Theodorou presenting the program.
These plastic surgeons also spoke at an aesthetic surgery panel workshop seminar this March. The workshop included an O.R. surgical LIVE feed and the surgeons gave an educational live surgical lecture for physicians on BodyTite procedures. This time, the treatment was performed LIVE from the OR by Dr. Nicholas Nikolov in Beverly Hills, CA and presented by Dr. Spero Theodorou.
Improves saggy skin after weight loss, or due to aging.
Those considering BodyTite RFAL ArmTite treatment should schedule a consultation with a trained and experienced plastic surgeon in NYC. The right surgeon, an AAAASF-accredited plastic surgery facility, reliable after care and follow-up are all very important factors to consider when undergoing any cosmetic surgery procedure. Only a good plastic surgeon who is sensitive to patient requirements and attaches top priority to patient safety and care can ensure you attractive and long-lasting body sculpting results.

Sinister (2012) Review
Spoiler-free so you can read before you watch
Horrorific content by adrian on November 30th, 2020 | Movie Review | Supernatural, Demon, Haunted House - Cursed, Cursed Image
Add Sinister (2012) to your Watchlist
You need to login or register to add this movie to your horror watchlist.
It's about a true crime writer who moves his family into a house where another family was murdered, and a supernatural entity that wants to murder them too.
Sinister was directed by Scott Derrickson (who also directed Deliver Us From Evil, Hellraiser: Inferno and The Exorcism Of Emily Rose) and stars James Ransone (from It: Chapter 2, Family Blood and Sinister 2), and Ethan Hawke (from Regression, The Purge, Daybreakers and Predestination).
Once you see him, nothing can save you
Sinister is a supernatural horror movie about a guy who had his 15 minutes of fame as a true crime novelist a couple decades back. He got word of a new unsolved murder mystery and jumped at the chance to turn it into his next cash cow. So he moves his entire family into the very house where the murders happened. He doesn't tell them this of course, they have to find out the hard way.
It kinda reminded me of The Ring mainly because, like Sinister, it involves a cursed video that basically screws you the moment you watch it. There's a little bit of time for you to try to figure out what's going on and to try to stop it, but ultimately you're screwed. The Ring also centers around a young dead girl who does the killing. Sinister is similar, although explaining exactly how would offer up spoilers so I'll leave it at that.
Ellison, the true crime writer, stumbles onto an old box of antique video tapes in the attic of the murder house. As research for his new book, he starts watching through them. They're all basically snuff films starting with actual footage of the family who lived in the house before them being murdered. The rest showcase other families being murdered in various creative ways across many decades. After absorbing the shock of this footage he starts to investigate the murders and finds a common link between them all, an ancient supernatural entity called Bughuul.
When I first watched Sinister years ago I found it scary as hell. The snuff film angle makes it dark and the way the story unfolds is super intense. Ellison is basically doomed from day one and nothing he tries can stop it. Supernatural events come at him from every angle and he has to deal with other real world problems at the same time including nosy cops, an angry wife, traumatized kids and his own ambition to write one more best seller. All of these things circling him along with the concept of Bughuul, shocking visuals and a brilliant soundtrack make the movie one of the scariest horror movies I've seen in a long time.
Sinister is perfect for jaded horror fans who have seen so many movies that it seems nothing can scare them anymore. I know this has been out for awhile now already but if the twist hasn't yet been spoiled for you, this movie might grab you as much as it did me.

UNLV Researcher on the Curious Case of COVID-19 Reinfection
Biostatistician Richard Tillett from the Nevada Institute of Personalized Medicine was part of a statewide team to identify a Nevada man infected twice by COVID-19 – the first documented occurrence in North America.

By Tony Allen
Media Contact: Tony Allen, UNLV Media Relations: (702) 895-3102, tony.allen@unlv.edu
Once you've had COVID-19, you're safe from getting it again, right?
A northern Nevada man learned the hard way earlier this year that getting re-infected with COVID-19 soon after surviving it just might be possible. After testing positive in April, the man subsequently tested negative multiple times until becoming ill just 48 days later and testing positive again in June.
To figure out what was going on, scientists from the Nevada State Public Health Laboratory at the University of Nevada, Reno, along with UNLV researcher Richard Tillett with the Nevada Institute of Personalized Medicine, looked deeper into the genetic blueprint of the man's virus samples and found differences between the two cases.
In other words, he was infected twice.
"Thankfully, reinfection looks to be pretty uncommon," says Tillett. "And I hope that it remains that way."
Still, the work conducted by Tillett and colleagues uncovered the first confirmed case of a person reinfected with the virus in North America. Their research was published in the prestigious medical journal The Lancet Infectious Diseases in October.
The scientific community – in Nevada and beyond – has rallied together like never before to uncover the many mysteries of COVID-19.
Tillett, a biostatistician, joined UNLV in August after working with the Nevada Center for Bioinformatics in Reno. He studies the genome – or building blocks – of disease, and his work with the Nevada Institute of Personalized Medicine is now squarely focused on finding ways to conquer COVID-19.
We spoke with Tillett to learn more about the likelihood of COVID-19 reinfection, the team's landmark study, what's next, and his advice for what we can all do to keep ourselves and our loved ones safe.
You were on a research team that made headlines in October when it documented a Northern Nevada man who contracted COVID-19 twice in less than two months. What was your role in the research?
My role in this study was to analyze the virus genomes collected from this patient from his earlier and later positive tests, compare the genomes to one another and to genomes in circulation, and finally, either find evidence that the two viruses differed or rule it out.
How was the research team notified of a possible reinfection case?
We identified the man, a Washoe County resident, as a part of our effort to survey SARS-CoV-2 genomes across Nevada. With both public health labs in the state providing samples, corresponding author Dr. Mark Pandori, director of the Nevada State Public Health Lab with the University of Nevada, Reno, was able to identify the man.
Can you break down for us how we know the man was infected two separate times, instead of suffering from one lingering case?
We started with a basic set of facts in the testing history. We knew that the patient had tested positive via the PCR test, which is used to diagnose active infection. He had symptoms, then improved. He subsequently had two negative tests, indicating his infection was over. Then six or seven weeks after his first positive test, he felt sick again, got tested again, and was again positive.
Now, PCR test results like these are only suggestive of re-infection. In order to confirm reinfection, we needed to sequence the viral genomes from both positive tests. When we obtained those genome sequences, we found six differences between the virus in the samples, by which we were able to rule out alternative scenarios such as it being one long infection.
What was your first thought when the work came back verifying that the man had, in fact, contracted COVID-19 a second time?
Honestly, I felt fright. We had to be sure we were right if we were going to claim proof that the possibility of reinfection was more than possible, but had actually happened for this person.
Do you think this a rare case, or is this more common than we might think?
Currently, reinfection looks to be pretty uncommon. And I hope that it remains that way. Though we don't yet know how long an average person may have lasting immunity to SARS-CoV-2, less than a year into this pandemic, it currently looks like reinfection is not the norm.
Given these results, what's your advice for people reading this who may have thought COVID-19 was a "one and done" virus?
My advice is to stay vigilant. Wear masks. Social distance. Avoid gatherings. Wash your hands. And if you feel like you maybe haven't been doing a great job at enacting these suggestions, this is too important to beat yourself up over. Remember that it's not too late to start or restart lowering your exposure risk.
Why is it important that researchers throughout Nevada and the nation continue to work together to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic?
The research community here in Nevada, the U.S., and globe are doing great work together in response to the pandemic and have embraced collaboration and knowledge-sharing to help tackle this threat. Our hope is that continued study will help us understand this virus, track it, monitor unfolding outbreaks, and keep guard in the future, even after vaccines become widely available.
What's next? Given the stunning results of the reinfection study, what other areas related to COVID-19 are you and colleagues investigating now?
At the Nevada Institute of Personalized Medicine, my colleagues – including Professor Edwin Oh – and I are continuing to track and study COVID-19 genomes from Nevada patient samples.
We've begun a major effort to detect SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater, and once detected, identify the mixture of mutations found in the viruses in that wastewater. This work will give us a tremendous amount of new information on the burden and spread of this virus in the community complementary to and beyond patient samples.

Why Television Isn't Going Anywhere
Television is dying. There are statistics, think pieces, and articles that all say pretty much the same thing: television is going the way of taxicabs, bookstores, and the music industry.
But at least one expert dismisses this notion as more far-fetched than the final episode of Lost. Michael Wolff, author of Television Is the New Television: The Unexpected Triumph of Old Media In the Digital Age and a columnist for USA Today, The Hollywood Reporter, believes that television is healthy, and has a robust future. Here are four reasons why:
Television is a huge cultural force
"People are watching more TV than ever before. They're not only watching more TV, they're watching it in many more places; 70 percent of broadband usage is for video. Television is what we do, television is the thing that holds our attention. Television is the thing that evermore fuels and creates the culture. It's the main topic on social media."
Wolff argues that this cultural dominance makes television production a good business to be in. And if you're worried about Amazon and Netflix taking a bite out of the market, well...
Internet television IS television
"What Amazon and Netflix and everyone else are buying is television. And they're buying it from the television community. [In 2016] Netflix will pay the television industry $3 billion for television," argues Wolff.
He says the fact that people watch Netflix and Amazon doesn't mean that they're watching less TV -- they're just watching it in a different place. And these new Internet distributors just bring in more money to the television industry:
"I think that we can see a world in which all of the major digital platforms will become television outlets. For high-priced dramas, high-priced comedies, for sports. They will compete with traditional television outlets. But remember the nature of competition in this market tends to be that all boats rise. If Google, Facebook, Yahoo become television distributors, they will end up buying from the television industry. None of those companies are in a position to make television themselves, nor would they want to."
Television doesn't rely solely on advertising, but digital media does
"Advertising is literally the only bread of digital media, that's all that digital media makes its money on. Advertising, advertising, advertising. 100 percent of its revenues are advertising-driven revenues. Television, on the other hand, has over the past 20 years now, slowly converted from 100 percent advertising to now only 50 percent advertising. The rest is now made up in subscriptions, on demand payments, etc. So the television industry has taken a giant step away from dependence on advertising."
These other revenue streams make Wolff confident about the future of television. With the rise of ad-blockers, it's even more important that:
People will actually pay for television
"[Television], like digital media, will also reach and is reaching the inevitable point where most of advertising goes away. I think television now is handily prepared to deal with that. People pay for television, people are used to paying for television, people want to pay for television. Digital media, nobody wants to pay, nobody's willing to pay for it, and they have no other [business model].
Modern television might be far removed from the three channel, I Love Lucy days, but as long as people aren't content with just watching 30-second clips of cute cats, Wolff believes that television has a place in our digital lives. Though, to be fair, those 30 second cat clips are adorable.

When you choose a server such as North America, you will always compete against people who aren't even from the same nation. On several occasions, I've faced off against people from Venice, Italy, and fifty percent of the people that kill you are from an entirely different continent. There is not enough recoil on any of the guns, and no matter what armor or helmet you have, you will always get shredded in two by an AKM wielding player who is halfway across the map from you. The firearms are terribly unbalanced, and the damage needs to be tweaked. If you are moving, the hit box will morph and change until you stop moving, which is one of the many reasons why the hit boxes have a lot of bugs. If you wish to play a map other than Erengal and you ever get into gold, the queue to get into a match will take you at least five minutes. It is not possible to move while shooting or to adjust your crosshair so that it points toward the enemy. If you pressed the right fire button, it would aim in like it does in Cod Mobile, therefore one way to remedy this would be to implement that system. It is necessary for the level three helmet and armor to be more uncommon and either increase your resistance to bullets or give you more health. I don't know if these issues occur in the lower ranks, but in the higher ranks, they completely destroy the game to the point where I had to stop playing for about nine months because it was so terrible. I don't know if these issues occur in the lower ranks. This is also my favorite game, and I have it for all of the different platforms that are available.

Investing Advice And InformationStock Market NewsWarren Buffett Admits Defeat But Still Outperforms!
NOTE: I was on CNBC this morning with Rick Santelli to talk about the new Republican alternative to ObamaCare. The Republican health care bill offers two good changes that would remove the individual mandate and expand Health Savings Accounts, but it didn't go far enough towards sound economic principles. In the interview, I discussed the A&W principles of sound economics and showed a bottle of A&W root beer as a visual aid. Click here to see my CNBC interview.
Buffett Outperforms — Elephants Can Still Dance!
In 2015, when my son and I attended Berkshire Hathaway's 50th anniversary shareholders' meeting in Omaha, Nebraska, Warren Buffett shocked the audience by admitting defeat in the battle over stock performance. For decades, he had proven that you can beat the market by carefully buying quality companies at a discount and holding for the long term. But since his investment company has grown so large, he threw in the towel and decided it was better to invest in index funds like Jack Bogle's gigantic Vanguard S&P 500 Index Fund.
Buffett also has a $1 million bet with Protege Partners. Buffett challenged the asset manager to pick a group of hedge funds that would beat an S&P 500 Index fund over 10 years. Proceeds from their wager go to charity.
So far, the $1 million investment in the bundle of hedge funds has generated a $220,000 gain in the nine years through 2016, compared with the index fund's $854,000 increase. Buffett surely will win the bet when it ends on Dec. 31. According to Buffett, about 60 percent of the gains that the hedge funds produced during that period were eaten up by management fees.
But what about his own investment company? Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK-A) stock actually has outperformed the S&P 500 Index, even when you include dividends. Click here to check it out!
While it's true that most hedge funds and actively managed mutual funds underperform the indexes, why does investing in individual stocks continue to appeal to most investors?
Simple. Index investing is boring. Nobody walks into a cocktail party to talk about how much money they made in an index fund. The thrill of victory — and the agony of defeat — is in the storytelling of individual stocks.
Subscribers to my newsletter, Forecasts & Strategies, receive recommendations of individual stocks and mutual funds. You make the call! I personally like investing in both and comparing their performance. In my own experience, my stock picks have done slightly better than index funds. To learn about my newsletter, click here.
In case you missed it, I encourage you to read my e-letter from last week about why an extreme "America-centric" foreign policy could actually hurt America.
Many financial gurus and political pundits had egg all over their faces after the surprise election of Donald Trump last November.
Nobel prize-winning economist Paul Krugman predicted that the stock market would collapse after Trump won. But the worst decision was made by George Soros, the billionaire investor who was known for his support of Hillary Clinton.
Most famously, Soros is known to be a clever investor who made a billion dollars shorting the British pound in 1992.
But what the gods give, they also take away.
According to the Wall Street Journal, George Soros lost close to a billion dollars betting against Trump. Soros is a defender of the "open society" (the name of his foundation). Many of Trump's views go counter to the idea of an open society.
Meanwhile, billionaire Carl Icahn made upwards of $700 million on Nov. 9. John Paulson reaped over $463 million on the same day. No doubt they have made even more since then.
This week, the Alpha Algorithm takes us back into Microsoft Corporation (MSFT), a stock which we recently booked a 16.39% gain in. Founded in 1975 and based in Redmond, Washington, Microsoft Corporation develops, licenses and supports software products, services and devices worldwide. The company licenses Windows operating system and related software and Microsoft Office for consumers. It also provides Xbox gaming and entertainment consoles, Lumia phones and Skype.

IOT sensors use the publish/subscribe model for communication to benefit from its decoupled nature with respect to space, time, and synchronization. Because of the heterogeneity of communicating parties, semantic decoupling is added as a fourth dimension. The added semantic decoupling complicates the matching process and reduces its efficiency. The proposed algorithm clusters subscriptions and events according to topic and performs the matching process within these clusters, which increases the throughput by reducing the matching time . Moreover, the accuracy of matching is improved when subscriptions must be fully approximated . This work shows the benefit of clustering, as well as the improvement in the matching accuracy and efficiency achieved using this approach.

French soprano Natalie Dessay is one the stars of today's operatic world, thrilling audiences as both a singer and an actress.
Born in Lyon in 1965, Natalie Dessay grew up in Bordeaux. She first dreamed of becoming a dancer, but later studied acting and singing at the Bordeaux Conservatoire. She progressed with extraordinary rapidity, completing five years' worth of study in just one year and graduating with First Prize at the age of twenty. In 1989, after a brief period in the chorus of the Théâtre du Capitole de Toulouse, she entered France's first Concours des Voix nouvelles and won second prize. This led Dessay to further studies at the Paris Opéra and also brought her to the attention of the agent Thérèse Cédelle – still her agent today – and to her first major engagements as a soloist.
