Samsung is gearing up to add new smartphones to its revamped Galaxy A Series. The South Korean tech giant has started sending out invites for an event on April 10, where it plans to announce the new phones. The event will be live-streamed and the company will be hosting press events in Bangkok, Milan, and Sao Paulo. Samsung has not specified the name(s) of the smartphones that will be unveiled next month, but Samsung has made it clear that more than one Galaxy A-series smartphone will be introduced. And with what we've seen in leaks and official listings, we expect the Galaxy A90 to finally make its debut, possibly alongside the Galaxy A60, Galaxy A40, and the Galaxy A70 smartphones.
Samsung's official invite states that the company will "unveil its latest Galaxy A devices" at the event on April 10, which makes it almost certain that more than one Galaxy A-series smartphone is in the pipeline. As for the smartphones that are expected to be unveiled, the Galaxy A90 and the Galaxy A40 are the prime candidates as both of them have been spotted on Samsung's official website recently. However, the presence of three different tiles on the launch invite indicates that Samsung might launch three Galaxy A-series smartphones next month.
The Galaxy A90 was recently listed on the official Samsung US website alongside some Asphalt 9 content that will be available to the buyers. It is rumoured to sport a sliding and rotating camera. However, concept renders and another leak indicate that the Galaxy A90 might feature a pop-up selfie camera and sport the New Infinity Display without a notch or hole-punch. It is tipped to feature an optical in-display fingerprint sensor and a 6.41-inch display. The Galaxy A90 will reportedly be powered by the Snapdragon 710 SoC, while One UI based on Android Pie will handle things on the software side.
As for the Galaxy A40, the support page for the upcoming smartphone went live on the company's German website as well as the Samsung UK website earlier this month. Moreover, the Galaxy A40 has already received its FCC certification, which means an official launch is on the horizon. The Galaxy A40 is rumoured to feature an in-display fingerprint sensor as well as a ToF 3D sensor, and will reportedly be powered by the in-house Exynos 7885 SoC, paired with 4GB of RAM.
The Galaxy A60, which has reportedly received its Bluetooth certification, is another smartphone that might be launched at Samsung's event next month. The Galaxy A60 is tipped to come with a 6.7-inch full-HD+ Infinity-U Display and will reportedly be powered by the Snapdragon 6150 SoC, paired with up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. The Galaxy A70 and the Galaxy A20e are the two other smartphones that have appeared in leaks recently and might be introduced at Samsung's event next month.

DAF Receives New 9 Heavy Tractor/Trailer Order from Belgian Defence
Following on from its previous order for 879 all-wheel drive CF Military trucks, the Belgian Defence has placed a new order at DAF for 9 heavy tractor/trailer combinations for the safe and swift recovery of vehicles in zones of operations and conflict. The vehicles are scheduled to be delivered in 2024. The order is for complete combinations consisting of four-axle and all-wheel driven CF Military tractors and thee-axle, extendable flatbed semi-trailers from Broshuis. The tractors will be fitted with a state-of-the-art armoured cab that offers maximum protection to the occupants when transporting and evacuating vehicles during military operations.
"We are very proud to have received this second order from the Belgian Defence," says Harry Wolters, president of DAF Trucks. "It is further proof that DAF is also capable of providing advanced transport solutions for military applications. We look forward to making the unique quality of DAF CF Military trucks available to other armed forces as well in the future."
DAF is working closely with the renowned TATRA TRUCKS in the Czech Republic. This results in a unique chassis concept with a world-class driveline, central backbone tube and independent suspension of half-axles. This offers the CF Military unequalled off-road capabilities and exceptional driver comfort, even on the most challenging terrain. The recovery vehicles ordered by the Belgian Defence will be powered by the 12.9 litre PACCAR MX-13 engine with an output of 340 kW/460 hp. The state-of-the-art armoured cabins will be supplied by TATRA DEFENCE VEHICLES using components from the cabs of the DAF CF series produced in Belgium.
Defence and DAF will take care of the maintenance of the CF Military combinations in close collaboration, in which the professional DAF dealer network in Belgium plays a crucial role. The DAF dealer network with more than 1,100 locations worldwide is available for maintenance outside the Belgian borders, as is the unparalleled DAF ITS road side assistance service. The DAF dealer organization can count on the support of PACCAR Parts for market-leading parts availability. The new order by the Belgian Defence follows on a previous order earlier this year for the delivery of 879 4×4 and 8×8 vehicles between 2022 and 2025.

Stay on top of my notes (review them over the weekend): I did a good job of keeping on top of the material as we went along.
Save 75% of my work paychecks for my move: I'm still committed to saving all I can (between 70-80% of my paycheck) for my move!
Start studying for tests a week in advance: Although some of my tests overlapped with work for other classes, I did my best to check my understanding of the material as we went along and looked for supplementary sources to futher my understanding.
Use social media less: I have been using Facebook and Twitter slightly less, but exploring blogs more (does that count?).
Don't nap as often: I started off strong, but the quarter wore me down.
Stay on top of this blog with five posts a month: I'm really proud of all the posts I've been doing and how active I've been on here, finding new blogs!
Listen to new music (two albums a week): With less in-lab research (either doing it at work where I can't listen to music or it was cancelled altogether), I didn't listen to as much new music as I'd like.
Apply for scholarships (one application a week): With finals, I haven't had time to apply for many scholarships.
Apply for summer jobs (one application a week): I started off strong but similar to the scholarships, school took over all my time and focus. However, I did end up getting a paid summer internship at the Arizona Game and Fish Department that I applied for a few months ago!

POLITICS is one helluva nasty business!
You're suddenly surrounded by groupies all trying to paint you as God's gift to humanity, but clearly just enjoying the free food you serve after every campaign rally.
Then you have your family members at one point, trying to dissuade you from pursuing your candidacy for fear of your safety and that of the family's. But when your victory seems inevitable, they quickly entertain thoughts of which interior designer to call and measure the windows in your new office for the new drapery.
You also have close friends giving you all sort of contrarian advice just to add more to your confusion on what policy measures to adopt once you are declared the winner. Of course, all these so-called buddies will probably be the first to line up and try to get appointments in your government, or at least get a business contract or two even before you've warmed your political seat.
Politics is all about relationships: forming new ones, letting go of those that don't work, and trying to make the most advantage of the ones still remaining —all in the pursuit of power and administering control of governments or businesses.
And amid the cementing of alliances, there will also be treachery. Two major candidates in the last elections have already publicly experienced that bitter truth. The six-month exercise showed exactly who their real friends and supporters were, and who had stabbed them in the back for the backstabber's own selfish goals.
For one, you had a presidential candidate who junked his own godfather's political party which he was to inherit at some point, in favor of his President's party of thieves. Unfortunately, the presidentita's own consort supported another presidential candidate in a bid to protect their own family's financial interests and secure their protection from possible lawsuits.
Then you had a vice presidential candidate who gave his all-out support to his party's standard-bearer, only for the latter to leave him by the wayside to his own devices. And despite the standard-bearer's own half-hearted announcements of support to his VP candidate, he declined to whip his own family members and groupies in line who supported a corrupt candidate instead.
IN my own case, I'm glad the electoral exercise is over.
As usual, we had to contend with the megalines, hot heads complaining about their missing names, and suffering teachers that seem to be part and parcel of every election. Thank God, the polls were generally flawless, and the results quick enough to determine clear winners, although as of this writing, the House Committee on Suffrage and Electoral Reforms is still hearing allegations of electoral fraud.
But it's understandable how many of us were simply putting our lives on the hold, declining to make major business decisions or even taking trips despite it being the summer vacation season, as we were all uneasy about the elections.
I, too, had to bump off a few appointments, and my standard response to lunch/dinner invites from friends would be "after the elections na lang ha?" just to drive home the point how much the run-up to the political exercise was dominating my life.
For another, I wasn't able to sleep my usual eight-hour beauty rest because I was tethered to my Mac updating a blog aimed at informing the public with news, surveys and other data about their favorite candidates. Stress eating and lack of exercise were also taking its toll on my health, e.g., a three-month cough that wouldn't quit until I finally managed to catch up on my sleep starting last weekend.
MY own relationships with idiot relatives and some so-called friends were also getting caught up in the heat of the debates, especially since we had supported different candidates.
How I wish I belonged to an entrepreneurial family where members gather and agree to support different candidates to protect their business interests. For instance, in one political/business family with interests in the banking industry during the Marcos regime but are also considered power brokers today, two brothers supported the fake impoverished presidential candidate, while their youngest brother placed his bet on the candidate whose only claim to fame is having famous parents.
So no matter which presidential candidate wins the election, this family's businesses are safe. They've kept their eye on the bigger prize, and the entire family won. With such an understanding, no one gets hurt if one brother airs his views favoring his own candidate over his other brother's bet, and vice versa.
Unfortunately, as I discovered in my case, some family members turned out to be users and were only loyal to whoever gave them the most funds for their campaign, instead of being grateful to the one who nurtured their careers in the first place. Yes, I hear you...that's politics. But I simply detest such hypocrisy and their defense of the crooked politician they had attached themselves to. I now wonder if it'll ever be safe for me to go home to my province after this.
Some of the campaign issues also divided a few buddies and me and have resulted in some irreconcilable differences. I know, I know, people always say that the safest discussion is nonpolitical talk.
On Facebook alone, a couple of long-time friends have been unmasked as traitors to the cause, and have thus been either deleted/blocked or walled out by my extremely high-privacy settings. (It's silly, I know, but on Facebook, it's much easier to detect who is being true to his word, or just giving you a whole lot of BS for the sake of friendship.) Some I caught telling me one thing privately, and seeking alliances and, right on their wall, saying exactly another.
I've been spied at bitched at, and lied to, but then, yes, I only have myself to blame for being so vocal about my own opinions.
Perhaps, when we've all become too busy again to care whether the President-elect takes his oath before a barangay captain or a ship captain, some of these broken fences will be mended again. Then again, maybe not.


nights, resequencing them as she pleased.
of desire and of brutality.
from eternity that does not begin.
just a weak light that touches its own blood.
that lived in them during vintage dreams.
the cold of its collapsing height.
which is about to lose its neutrality.
the ability to read its destiny.
aware of what its memory wrote.
title, whose choice exhausted her.
covers her smiling face, and goes away.

If it means only feasting and jollity
'My
dear, they have a foolish fancy that it is the time when Christ was born; and so in Romish times a special Popish mass was said on that day; and from that the twenty-fifth of December got its present name--Christ-mass; that is what it is.'
'Then He was not born the twenty-fifth of December?'
'No, nor in December at all. Nothing is plainer than that spring was the time of our Lord's coming into the world. The shepherds were watching their flocks by night; that could not have been in the depth of winter; it must have been in the spring.'
'Then why don't they have Christmas in springtime?'
'Don't ask _me_, my dear; I don't know. The thing began in the ages of ignorance, I suppose; and as all it means now is a time of feasting and jollity, the dead of winter will do as well as another time. But it is a Popish observance, my child; it is a Popish observance.'
'There's no harm in it, papa, is there? if it means only feasting and jollity, as you say.'
'There is always harm in superstition. This is no more the time of Christ's birth than any other day that you could choose; but there is a superstition about it; and I object to giving a superstitious reverence to what is nothing at all. Reverence the Bible as much as you please; you cannot too much; but do not put any ordinance of
man, whether it be of the Popish church or any other, on a level with what the Bible commands.'
The colonel had finished his toast, and was turning to his book again.
'Pitt has been telling me of the way they keep Christmas in England,' Esther went on. 'The Yule log, and the games, and the songs, and the plays.'
'Godless ways,' said the colonel, settling himself to his reading,--'godless ways! It is a great deal better in this country, where they make nothing of Christmas. No good comes of those things.'
Esther would disturb her father no more by her words, but she went on pondering, unsatisfied. In any question which put Mrs. Dallas and her father on opposite sides, she had no doubt whatever that her father must be in the right; but it was a pity, for surely in the present case Mrs. Dallas's house had the advantage. The Christmas decorations had been so pretty! the look of them was so bright and festive! the walls she had round her at home were bare and stiff and cold. No doubt her father must be right, but it was a pity!
The next day was Christmas day. Pitt being in attendance on his father and mother, busied with the religious and other observances of the festival, Esther did not see him till the afternoon. Late in the day, however, he came, and brought in his hands a large bouquet of hothouse flowers. If the two had been alone, Esther would have greeted him and them with very lively demonstrations; as it was, it amused the young man to see the sparkle in her eye, and the lips half opened for a cry of joy, and the sudden flush on her cheek, and at the same time the quiet, unexcited demeanour she maintained. Esther rose indeed, but then stood silent and motionless and said not a word; while Pitt paid his compliments to her father. A new fire flashed from her eye when at last he approached her and offered her the flowers.

A Gerhard Fieseler Werke (GFW), fundada como Fieseler Flugzeugbau, foi um fabricante alemão de aviões fundada em 1930 que, embora tenha sobrevivido alguns anos após o final da Segunda Guerra Mundial, passou a produzir apenas peças para automóveis.

Fundada por Gerhard Fieseler, a empresa tornou-se famosa por produzir aeronaves desportivas e, durante o conflito, ao desenvolver diversas aeronaves. Para ajudar no esforço de guerra alemão, a Fieseler produziu diversas aeronaves de outros fabricantes, sempre sob licença, como por exemplo o Bf 109 e o Fw 190.

Contudo, a Fieseler é mais recordada por ser a criadora da V-1, uma das Wunderwaffe (arma-maravilha) da alemanha nazi.

Cheap $200 repurposed DVD drive analyzes blood samples for HIV in mere days
in Research, Technology
In an extraordinary feat of ingenuity, a team of Swedish researchers have converted an all too common commercial DVD drive into a fully working laser scanner microscope capable of performing blood sample analysis and cellular imaging. They achieved this simply by replacing a few hardware pieces in the drive and developing a software that perform the analysis tasks. The researchers believe their technique could be scaled to produce lab-DVD drives for as less as $200, in contrast to typical lab equipment that costs at least 100 times as much.
The prospects area extremely appealing since this effective and cost efficient DVD drive lab could be easily implemented in poor areas, where staff typically can't afford expensive lab equipment and where it's actually the greatest need for it. For instance, the repurposed drive has been proven to work great as a HIV testing kit.
"With an ordinary DVD player, we have created a cheap analytical tool for DNA, RNA, proteins and even entire cells," says Aman Russom, senior lecturer at the School of Biotechnology at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. The so-called "Lab-on-DVD" technology makes it possible to complete an HIV test in just a few minutes, he says.
The basic modifications the DVD drive needs to suffer are remarkably simple: the typical optical block of the drive is replaced with a light sensor capable of reading information from blood samples, while the samples themselves need to be placed on translucent disks that resemble DVDs. The disks are paramount for this to work, since each disk is designed specifically for the task at hand. If you need to analyze blood for HIV, you'll need a certain type of disk since the disease needs to bind to it. This is far from being an issue, however, when compared to the alternative: flow cytometry units that can cost upwards of USD 30,000, excluding maintenance.
"The low cost of the technology makes it suitable as a diagnostic and analytical tool in clinical practice close to the patient," Russom says. "And because it delivers extremely fast analysis, the patient does not need to go home and wait for a response. They can get it right on the first visit to a doctor."
Findings were reported in the journal Nature Photonics.

"British Soul music has been on life support, so we're just trying to breathe some life back into it." – Don-e
Photo: Courtesy Steve Funkyfeet
Don-e has been championing British Soul Music for well over nearly three decades. As part of the orignal Brit Soul revolution back in the eighties Don-E enjoyed chart success with his hits 'Love Makes The World Go Round' and 'Unbreakable'. More recently his Future Rare Grooves solo albums and his exciting reunion with other notable UK Soul icons under The British Collective banner has put the name Don-e firmly back in the spotlight. Michael J Edwards stole a few moments with The Don, prior to his guest appearance during the second set of bass guitarist Moyses Dos Santos' gig at Pizza Express Jazz Club.
Michael J Edwards: What's the update re: the release of the long-awaited debut album from The British Collective which features your good friends Junior, Omar, Leee and Noel Mckoy?
Don-e: We've been recording the album since 2014, so we just had to get it finished. Instead of talking about it and teasing people.
Michael J Edwards: Do you have a title for the album?
Don-e: It will most likely be called 'The British collective Vol 1 – The Renaissance Begins…' However It might be called Dr. Love, but we're not sure. We could call the album 'Love Me Tonight', we could call the album 'Higher Love', we could call the album 'Stay'. All of the songs could be the title. We're not too sure but most likely it'll be the 'The British collective Vol 1 – The Renaissance Begins…' But it's nice to look across the stage and see Omar singing, Junior and Leee John and Noel McKoy all singing together.
We were in Grenada recently and the audiences were amazing! We were all there singing together; ex-pats came out, they left England years ago but they remember all the songs. I thought like, "This is crazy!" Joss Stone came on after us and people started to leave! That's how dope The British Collective were. We were singing songs they didn't know apart from our well-known songs which we would drop somewhere throughout the set.
Michael J Edwards: It must be fresh and exciting for you, because not only do you have the more mature audience who remember you from back in the day, but you're also bringing on board a new, younger audience with the new material?
Special Guest Don-e joins Moyses Dos Santos on stage @ Pizza Express Jazz Club, Dean St
Don-e: It's a situation where Junior's audience get to see me, my audience get to see the other guys, and so on; and they're all coming together – we need that right now. British Soul music has been on life support, so were just trying to breathe some life back into it. We're just trying to galvanise it and document the fact that we were here. If you go on the Internet and look at the history of Soul in this country, it's like it stops. These kids don't know about Omar… The fact that they don't know that means we have a lot of education to do. If you haven't heard of Omar, you definitely haven't heard of me! (Laughs) What we're calling our movement is the British Soul Renaissance and we're doing it independently.
Michael J Edwards: You're pulling the British Soul music scene up by its bootstraps.
Don-e: Yep! There is no big music industry machinery behind us – it's just us. We've got the will and the passion to do it. Obviously we've still got our haters and our doubters but it just makes you stronger. When they hear the album they're going to be pleasantly surprised – It's gonna be trouble trust me! When the album drops it's going to be heavy. We've also got guest artists such as Alex Charles from Funky Sensation, we've got Glen Goldsmith, we've got Roachford, we've got Donovan from Heatwave; we've got Errol Reid from Chyna Black. We've got Hughie Crawford and Sinclair and of course Rick Clarke.
Michael J Edwards: How many tracks on the album and where was it recorded?
Don-e: There are thirteen tracks and it was recorded at my place, Matrix Studios and mastered by Mark Frank , who has worked with Sinead O'Connor, The lighthouse family etc.
Michael J Edwards: When can we expect to see The British Collective touring in the UK?
Don-e: Towards the end of 2016
Michael J Edwards: On a personal level what can we expect from Don-e following on from your Future Rare Grooves Vol 1&2?
Don-e: I've got a track out with Rick Clarke called 'Don't Make Me Wait' which is doing well on the streets at the moment. And I've also got a few other bits and bobs that I'm working on. So watch this space.
Michael J Edwards: Thank you for your time.

One part of the equation is a lot more important to FIRE proponents.
If sipping piña coladas beachside on a Wednesday afternoon sounds nice to you, you've probably also dreamt of early retirement. You're not alone.
Over the past five years, Google searches for "Financial Independence Retire Early" has increased by 94%, and there's even a catchy acronym for people who subscribe to both sides of the equation: the FIRE movement. But a recent survey from TD Ameritrade shows that we may have misunderstood the FIRE movement all along, with proponents a lot more willing to work than we originally believed.
What does the FIRE movement really care about?
People who are familiar with—but not a part of—the FIRE movement usually assume it's about one thing: retiring as early as possible so you can kick back at the beach for the rest of your life. And for good reason. There are several FIRE podcasts and blogs and out there where individuals break down the minimalist budgets they live on after moving to coastal towns where the cost of living is low and the tax breaks are high. But according to TD Ameritrade's survey (of 1,500 adults aged 45 and older with at least $250,000 in investable assets), the "FI" portion of the acronym is a lot more important than the "RE."
Financial independence defined: a state in which an individual or household has sufficient wealth to live on without having to depend on income from some form of employment.
Although one-third of those surveyed said that leaving a 40-hour-a-week job was the most appealing aspect of financial independence, three-quarters of financially independent respondents claimed that achieving that independence was more important than actually bowing out permanently from the workforce. In fact, more than 4 in 10 of both the financially independent and non-independent respondents plan to continue working after they "retire"—both because they enjoy what they do and because they don't want to live frugally in retirement.
So what's the difference, then, between FIRE enthusiasts and the rest of us? Apart from having the peace of mind that they're financially secure, the main difference lies in what they plan to do for work and who they're planning to work for. Most FIRE-ees tend to embark on a self-made career path after reaching financial independence, either by growing their blog, consulting, managing properties or monetizing some other hobby they find meaningful. In fact, the trend is so strong that one member of the movement attempted rebrand the "RE" in FIRE as "Recreational Employment."

The idea of Copper Brewing came together over a homebrewed beer. The founders, Darla Ariss and Sean White met at a mutual friends wedding. Sean, a homebrewer, made the beer for the wedding in his garage. Darla, who was intrigued by the beer wanted to know more about Sean's hobby. When he explained that he was working on opening a brewery, the plan to build began.
The brewery opened for business after a 7 month build in August of 2019 in the Landmark District of Kelowna BC. Many hours (and beers) were burnt during construction to get to opening day. After only a year of operation, Copper Brewing has found itself a great following that we can call our friends. Known to many as Darla's living room, we truly love the people that come into our space and cannot be more thankful for the support we have. Come by yourself and experience some good laughs, great times and genuinely good beer.
Originally from Salmon Arm BC, Rich's passion for brewing took him abroad to study in Sunderland, England. Upon graduation, he followed an opportunity in Ecuador to help a fellow classmate open up a brewery. After his travels abroad, he came back to Canada and moved to Toronto where he officially began his brewing career. Three breweries and five years later, Rich has found himself back in the Okanagan as the head brewer for us at Copper Brewing.
Rich's favourite styles to drink are stouts and porters due to their complexity.
With us since the doors first opened, Jess deals directly with staff and guests to ensure the taproom is running smoothly. Her love for craft beer was influenced by her family, who have been in the Kelowna beer industry for 30 years. You may often find her behind the bar serving your beer, but she is also the face behind the camera and the voice on our social media.
Jess's favourite styles are NEIPA's for their bold and juicy flavour.
What's With The Dog?
Meet Copper
The Bernese Mountain Dog on our cans is a tribute to our late mascot Copper. Four months before construction began on the brewery, Copper developed an auto immune disorder and ending up leaving us in September of 2018, he was 4 years old. His memory lives on and he continues to be our mascot on every can we produce, and at the brewery.
Rest In Peace Copper - 2018
Meet Porter
Since Copper's passing, another mascot has come into the works. You can find Porter cruising around the brewery from time to time. You will know he is in, he loves stopping by, sitting on your feet and saying hi. Not only does he love people, but he is pretty fond of the spent grain dog treats we have as well.

As we approach September the vacationing Europeans and Americans will return to their posts and get back to work. We have some excitement to look forward to this coming week, thanks to the Fed's Jackson Hole confab. So what will QE3 really do? Initially, we will have a rally but then reality will sink in we will drift as we have done for most of the summer. It will be an upward tilting drift supported by the large dividend paying securities. The question of the tax treatment on those dividends will be on the Congress agenda but even if they do not continue with this favorable treatment of dividends, so long as risk free money remains a negative investment, these stocks will continue to move higher.
Happy Labor Day to all, wish our underemployed had better jobs, and that the economy was on the brink of expansion but alas that is a wish. The brilliant academics will gather and try to figure out how to fix an economy even though they do not have the life experience to understand the real mess. Yes several of the FOMC member do have life experience but unfortunately very few. You have an academic incubator trying to solve real life problems and that has been, to date disastrous. Nothing much is getting better and the public knows it. Then we have the Euro-mess which continues as the leaders pass the buck or the euro to the next meeting or whatever.
After last week's consolidation, the US Dollar index drifted southward towards the bottom side of the short term channel that has held the index for the last month. The US Dollar index paused at our first support line, 81.556 and then went on to briefly poke through and then be caught by our lower support line at 81.387, closing the Friday session at 81.603. The Bollinger Bands are expanding and we have been below the lower band from Wednesday original breech to the Friday close. The upper band is at 83.33 and the lower band at 81.55. The index is currently below the 5-period exponential moving average (which is at 81.75) and the 20-period simple moving average (which is at 82.45). All indicators that we follow on a daily bases are issuing clear buy-signals. The index will likely move to the upside and back and fill for a bit. A break above the upper channel line would likely bring us into last week's congestion zone. The index might find resistance at the upper channel line on the way up. On the downside we see liability for this week down to 81.024.
The 60 minute .05% x 3 point and figure chart shows we have met and exceeded the two targets of 81.445 and 81.55. There are no new targets in either direction and the index seems to be making its way back to the internal downtrend line.
The longer term daily .5% x 3 point and figure chart shows that while we are still clearly in a long term uptrend, the index is falling back towards the internal support line at 80.56. There are no new targets this week as we still have two activated upside targets at 85.96 and 91.72, and one activated downside target at 66.65. The Bollinger bands show this to be an Index that has been riding the upper band and that was in need of some rest.
The weekly candle chart shows the index to still be in a triangle going back to September 2011. The buyers are coming in at higher and higher levels and this week the index broke below support that dated from June which was at 81.389 though it did close above it. All indicators that we follow are issuing sell-signals the uptrend line, that has marks the lower end of this triangle, will continue to act as solid support.
Putting the pieces together, we are riding the bottom Bollinger Band on a daily time-frame and in need of some consolidation and a brief move up. We feel that the index will likely bounce around in a rectangle and drift towards 81.024 (even if it moves back into last week's consolidation zone first). The triangle drawn from the weekly candles is getting awfully narrow and we have not visited the lower bound since May of 2012 and we feel that is exactly what the index is doing.
The S&P 500 futures have remained within the up trending channel lines and, inside the Bollinger Bands. During this past week we burned off some of the overbought condition and have, as of Friday, set ourselves up for a rally. The stochastic indicator, our own indicator and the RSI all are issuing a buy-signal. The 5-period exponential moving average is at1408.36. The top of the Bollinger Band is at 1427.48 and the lower edge is seen at 1367.48. We are above the Ichimoku Clouds for all the time-frames. When looking at the Market Profile chart there is no overhead supply and there will be little resistance as this market rallies. The weekly Market Profile chart shows us that we are in the upper edge of the range between 1252.48 and 1417.28. The point and figure 1% three-box reversal shot has several unfilled upside targets and no recent downside targets. The 60-minute 1 by 3-box chart shows that there are two downtrend lines with an upside target of 1435. What is also clear on this chart is that the volume is very light at the upper prints. Well, it is vacation time.
The NASDAQ 100 chart looks like a bull flag is forming. The 5-period exponential moving average is at 2769.76. The top of the Bollinger Band is at 2823.81 and the lower edge is seen at 2609.46. The stochastic indicator is issuing a fresh buy signal at the 77.73 level. Remember this indicator has been overbought since the beginning of August. Our own indicator is about a day away from issuing a buy-signal. The RSI is pointing higher at 70.06. We are above the Ichimoku Clouds for all time-frames. We noticed that the NASDAQ 100 made a higher taking out all previous highs from February of 2001. The Market Profile chart shows that there is no overhead supply to hold down this market and that above 2796.80 we will likely melt to the upside. We do have a doji candlestick on the weekly continuation chart. The stochastic indicator, the RSI and our own indicator are pointing higher for the monthly time-frame but are overbought and issuing a sell-signal on the weekly chart. We also have a nine count on the weekly chart. It has been our experience that once a nine-count is seen, you will go sideways for up to 12 more days but then, you will fall victim to profit takers. Once that nine appears, the caution flags go up.
The Russell 2000 has been the laggard in this 2012 rally season. This index has not removed the March highs and seems to be having some trouble gaining traction to the upside. We are above the Ichimoku Clouds for all time-frames. The 5-period exponential moving average is at 808.33. The top of the Bollinger Band is at 824.75 and the lower edge is seen at 771.48. If the market retreats, this index will retreat more than the S&P 500 and more than the NASDAQ 100. The stochastic indicator is bending to the upside at neutral levels, our own indicator is doing the same, the RSI is bending slightly to the upside and the Thomas DeMark Expert indicator is issuing a sell-signal. The Russell 2000 has not broken the uptrend line dating back to June that is a good thing. So long as the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ 100 continue to rally, this market will follow. It is not a leader to the upside but will likely be the leader to the downside. The point and figure 60 minute chart has some upside targets but more troubling are the downtrend lines.
Crude oil left a doji candlestick on the chart as a result of the Friday session. We are above the Ichimoku Clouds for the daily and the monthly time-frames but in the clouds on the weekly chart. The 5-period exponential moving average is 96.12. The top of the Bollinger Band is at 99.00 and the lower edge is seen at 87.46. The stochastic indicator has issued a sell-signal that said, if it doesn't fall below 58.6 level and reverses to the upside, it will have been a retreat in a larger up trending market. The RSI is pointing lower but the bend is slight and seems to be trying to curl over. The 1% by 3-box point and figure chart has an upside unfilled target at 118.65. Unless and until 98.29 is removed that is a dream for the crude bulls. The Market Profile chart also indicates to us that the 97.82 level will likely present some problems for the crude oil bulls. Once that resistance level is removed, if it is removed, we should quickly rally to the equilibrium level of 104.52. The up trending channel lines are support at 92.82 and resistance at 102.44.
Gold broke out of the rectangle and left a breakaway upside gap on the chart. Although Friday's session left an inside day on the chart, this is a bullish chart. The stochastic indicator and the RSI are both overbought but the stochastic continues to issue a buy-signal. We would expect to see some backing and filling and perhaps a test of the gap, within a few days. The point and figure chart shows an unfilled upside target at 1696 or so. The Market Profile chart shows that we are in thin trading areas and that should we rally above 1688.40 that there will be little overhead supply and we will likely quickly move higher. The 5-period exponential moving average is at 1652.96. The upper Bollinger Band is at 1661.97 and the lower edge is seen at 1576.52. We are above the upper band and it is likely that we will return to the inside of that band. On the other hand, if the volatility continues, then the band will expand to accommodate the trade. We noticed that the silver chart is gappier than the gold chart, because of less volume and even crazier than gold. We continue to stay with the liquidity of the gold market and do not trade in the silver futures market.

Sunderland v Southampton who are you?: Kevin, Kenwyne and all things Saintly
January 16, 2014 January 15, 2014 by malcolm
Jake demands answers
Malcolm Dawson writes…..Sam Dobson* is a real football fan. By that I mean he watches his team in the flesh, rather than via television and dodgy internet streams. That's not to say that I think those who have no alternative but to follow from afar aren't just as passionate, devoted and genuine as the ones you'll find in the ground, but the observations of a fan who sees his or her team week in, week out (not to mention the youth and reserve sides) reflect the aspects of the game that can only be seen first hand. I suspect many Sunderland fans will identify with Sam, until that is they read his views on club colours and simulation. Sam's answers to M Salut's comprehensive questionnaire reveals a die hard Saint who will make the long trip from the South Coast for a 12.45 Kick Off.
(** MD: As you will all have realised this WAY was posted just hours before Nicola Cortese announced that he was leaving the club.)
Everyone outside Southampton, and a few within, seemed outraged by the sacking of Nigel Adkins but Nicola Cortese has probably proved his point. Agreed?
Absolutely. I've always been a fan of Cortese's, so I was willing to see how it panned out when the decision was first made, even if I was somewhat sceptical. It did come as a shock, and I said at the time it was a massive gamble, but as with so many other big decisions, Cortese has been proven right. Adkins was improving, and he would have probably kept us up, but Pochettino is a level above. The team has a much clearer identity now.
But doing away with red and white stripes – there'd be a riot if Sunderland did that. Was it hard to take?
I certainly don't speak for everyone here, but it didn't bother me that much. Technically it is still a red and white kit, so it's not quite on the level of what Cardiff have done. I think the design of this kit and the previous one was ugly and unimaginative. If it were up to me we'd be playing in stripes, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. It's not something that I feel particularly strongly about, but I can understand those that do. It hasn't really been met with much resistance. A lot of the same people that spent all summer moaning about the shirt went out and bought it anyway.
Tell us what it has been like to watch the transformation of your club so that "established" and ""Premier" and "club" no longer seem a far-fetched set of words to string together.
It's been an incredible ride. It shows what can be done with sensible decision making and a long-term vision. Having a fair bit of money to spend has obviously helped too, but the club is run exceptionally well these days.
Are you too young to have enjoyed past, pre-St Mary's glories and the extraordinary parade of great players who have turned out for you?
I've been following Saints since the late 1990s, so I saw the 2003 FA Cup run, but obviously missed the great sides of the 1980s and the 1976 FA Cup final win.
However you answered that, who have been the finest players you've seen – or wish you'd seen – in Saints colours (any variety) and who should have been allowed nowhere near them?
I saw Matt Le Tissier in what was probably his last good season (1997/98), but it would have been nice to see him a few years earlier when he was really in his prime. Most of my favourites are playing right now, people like Morgan Schneiderlin and Adam Lallana.
I'm reluctant to single out any individual players for criticism. I try to be supportive and give everyone the benefit of the doubt. I pretty much love everyone in the current squad, and can't think of any former-players that I really despise. Most of the really bad ones don't last very long. If we're talking managers then Harry Redknapp is the obvious choice.
Jake hopes for hot stuff on Saturday
And who most impresses you from the current squad?
It really has been such a team effort this season. All the regulars have played their part, but Schneiderlin is still crucial. He's pretty much got everything – passing, tackling, energy, skill, vision, shooting and so much more. He's looked good since we signed him in 2008, but has added something different every season and is now one of the most complete players in the league. I honestly believe he wouldn't look out of place at any club in Europe. The same could be said for right-back Nathaniel Clyne. He's ridiculously consistent, and rarely lets anything get past him. His crossing ability is superb too. Lallana is a club legend, who has stepped it up even further this season. Rickie Lambert has had his ups and downs recently, but will always be a hero to Saints fans. Steven Davis, Jay Rodriguez, Dejan Lovren and Luke Shaw have been impressive too, as have many others.
Links between us include McMenemy (good for you, disastrous for us), Kevin Phillips (wonderful for us, less so for you) and Kenwyne Jones (pretty frustrating for both). Any thoughts of these or other people with ties to both SAFC and Saints?
Lawrie McMenemy had his day long before I was born, but obviously he is our greatest manager ever (in terms of results at least). He had a spell as Director of Football in the 1990s and also did some ambassadorial work, but didn't appear to contribute a hell of a lot in either role. He occasionally pops up with the odd inane remark in the media, but I think the game passed him by long ago.
I always liked Kevin Phillips as a Saints player. He scored a cracker on his debut at Leicester, but then went on a bit of a drought. Nevertheless his performances were usually good, and by the second half of the season he regained his scoring touch. He did pretty well in 2004/05 too, even though we got relegated. I think there was a fall-out with him and a few others at the club, which led to him being dropped at the end of the season. He said he wasn't happy with how things went at the club, which was understandable given the state it was in at the time, but I think a lot of fans took that the wrong way. For years afterwards he was booed whenever he came up against Saints. He actually got a fairly decent reception when he played for Palace at St Mary's earlier this season after being very complimentary about Saints in an interview. I've never really had a problem with him to be honest. How could you hate someone who scored a winner against Portsmouth?
Kenwyne Jones' departure was pretty acrimonious, and I don't think he or the club covered themselves in glory. I think we were happy to cash-in on him, despite publicly declaring that he was not for sale. It was pretty obvious that the club was trying to make themselves look as good as possible with the fans, and make the player look bad by forcing his hand. Jones certainly did that by threatening to go on strike. He definitely could have handled it better. As a player I think he was developing quite well with us. I remember in his final appearance at Norwich in 2007 he was such a handful, but I'm not quite sure he's quite fulfilled his potential since then.
Have you been surprised at how badly Sunderland have fared this season and did you see trouble ahead with PDC?
Yes, but even without him I think you might have struggled. I don't follow Sunderland that closely, but they seem to have been lacking direction for a while now. I suspect the problems go deeper than Di Canio, as crazy as he was.
It seems hardly close enough to make it a tribal issue, but is Gus Poyet disliked with any great intensity at Southampton because of his Brighton connection?
For me that's all in the past now. Poyet said some stupid things about us when he was Brighton manager, but that brief rivalry ended long-ago. I thought some of his comments about Luis Suarez were utterly moronic too, but apart from that I don't have too much of a problem with him anymore. He seems like a fairly competent manager, and I do kind of respect some of the things he's accomplished. He'll get some stick at the game for sure, but I expect the ill-feeling to gradually die-down over the next few years, if it hasn't already.
What will be this season's top four in order, who – don't spare our feelings – is going down and where will our clubs finish if not already listed?
I said Manchester City would win the league at the start of the season, and I'm sticking to that. They've had plenty of off days on the road, but I think they've got the most talented squad. Chelsea have impressed me in recent weeks, and I'd expect them to push City close. I'm not a fan of everything Jose Mourinho says or does, but he has something about him. I don't think Arsenal will last the pace unfortunately, but they'll still finish 3rd comfortably. I've got a gut feeling Man United will just sneak the 4th spot. I keep changing my mind about who will go down. There are probably about five teams that deserve to drop; it could be any from the bottom 10. Despite recent improvements under Pulis I think Palace still have the most limited squad in the league. Fulham don't seem to have much about them at the moment. I would have said Sunderland were certainties a few weeks back, but I'm not so sure now. I would love West Ham to go down, but have a feeling Norwich might be the third team.
Earlier in the season I thought we could finish 6th or 7th and nick a Europa League spot, but I don't see that happening now. I'd be surprised if we finish any lower than we are right now (9th) either. We'll probably just pip Newcastle to 8th.
What have been you highs and lows as a Saints supporter?
Nearly everything since the 2009 takeover has been great. The 2012 promotion was probably the highlight, the culmination of a miraculous three-year turnaround. The football we played at the start of that Championship season was incredible. We really took the division by storm. Beating Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea at St Mary's last season was pretty special. As was the win at Anfield last September. League 1 was so much fun too, especially the late comeback at Brighton in 2011. Going back further, the run to the 2003 FA Cup final was an absolute blast.
Growing up I thought we were immune from relegation, so dropping to the second-tier for the first time in my lifetime in 2004/05 was hard to take. Heavy defeats at Watford and Portsmouth were particularly embarrassing. The club was a complete shambles between 2005-2009, even when we sneaked into the play-offs in 2006/07. The 2009 relegation to League One and the uncertainty that followed was pretty much as low as it got, but that also inadvertently led to the success we are now enjoying.
As a much-travelled supporter who sees reserves and youth football as well as first team, which level of football gives you most pleasure and why?
For me it's not really all about winning or losing. Obviously you enjoy the good results more, but I can't say I get too upset about the bad ones anymore. I nearly always enjoy it, no matter what the score (unless it's really really bad). If it was all about winning I would go to Chelsea or Man City. I love that we have a great side now, but I still loved it back when we were crap. It's about being a part of it all, the highs and the lows.
It's a completely different vibe at youth/development games. The atmosphere is generally a lot more family friendly and relaxed, which is a nice contrast to the vitriol which can sometimes be generated at senior level. Youth football is obviously particularly relevant at our club. You know that some of the players you are watching will at least get a chance in the first team. It's kind of cool to be able to say you saw Gareth Bale or Alex Chamberlain before they became stars. They always encourage good football above anything else at that level, which makes it fun to watch. That said, nothing beats the feeling of watching the first team.
Which aspect of the modern game most inspires you and which makes you furious?
I think most of this "Against Modern Football" stuff is a load of rubbish. A lot of the things that people moan about today have always existed, and there's a lot that's better today compared to the past. I think the standard of football is as good as it's ever been right now, due to improved conditioning, dieting and coaching. It's great that there is so much football available to watch these days, and stadiums are much safer places, even if the atmosphere has been somewhat diluted. Not too much gets me angry, but obviously I find racism and corruption of any kind deplorable. Important issues, not stuff like diving or waving an imaginary card, which really don't matter as much as many people think.
Brazil 2014 – no Theo to rekindle memories and reflected pride but are you excited, or too much of a club football fan to care about the forthcoming World Cup?
Definitely too much of a club fan to care. I lost interest in England a long time ago. While it has been nice to see Saints represented recently, I'll never have the same connection with the national team that I do with my club.
Will you be at our game? What will be the score?
Yeah, I'll be setting off ridiculously early on Saturday morning. Provided there are no more major injury setbacks I fancy us to edge it 2-1.
Sam with the Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino
* Sam Dobson on himself:
The first match I attended was in August 1997 when I was 9, a 1-0 defeat to Bolton at the Dell. It was probably a terrible game, but I loved everything about it and was instantly hooked. I went to plenty of games over the next few years, but didn't get a season ticket until we moved to St Mary's in 2001. The first away game I attended was a 7-2 defeat at White Hart Lane in the 1999/2000 season, but I didn't start travelling regularly until about 2005. I picked up the away-day bug pretty quickly. The last Saints game I missed was on 15th April 2006 at Stoke. Prior to the 2006/07 season I was planning to pick and choose about 12-15 away games to go to, but just couldn't resist any of them in the end, and I still can't. I also watch the development/academy sides whenever possible, and have even attended several U21 away fixtures. I write about Saints for my site http://thesaintshub.com/

Terry Paine is now a TV pundit in South Africa he always had a soft spot for Roker Park he played there as a representative for the National Association of Boys Clubs I think it was England against Scotland. Sunderland Saints was always a special game because of how far we were away from each other.
Yeah it was a good read, and, as another old git, can I just say my first memory of Southampton FC as a kid was gawping at Terry Paine's epic raven-haired quiff in the 60s as he waltzed up and down the right wing at Roker Park.
I'm sure he then morphed into Alvin Stardust in the 70s when adding sideburns (so big they had their own postcode)…..check out the pic at this site!! (Sorry I can't send the link).

And all achieved without the expensive deluxe "product" modern footballers can now afford. What a hero.

I was in the army with a lad who played youth team football with Terry Paine. He told me then [ middle fifties ] that TP was something special. He sure was. How much would he be worth today I wonder?
Surprized not to see any comments on Alan Shearer or even Dave Watson as an ex Saint, he was a great success at both clubs. I lived in Southampton in the 70's and loved watching Osgood and Channon.
And Alan Ball. I remember watching him at The Dell once against Liverpool. He was getting on then and had slowed down a bit, but he was different class. Best one touch player I've ever seen.
There'll be the usual utterances about focusing on the game and the commitment to the club etc but half the players will be wondering about progress made by their agents on securing a move somewhere before the window closes.
There was talk of some sort of Marshall Plan (5 year plan) at Southampton which must be always up by now.
At least Markus Liebherr's daughter is honest enough to admit she has no interest in football and therefore presumably no knowledge of the game. On that basis there isn't a lot which differentiates her from a lot of Chairmen at other clubs.
Her honesty
Pete Sixsmith
Definately so, Jeremy, definately so.
It certainly won't help them. That's for sure.
Cortese has just left Southampton , ructions behind the scenes apparently , could work in our favour.
When Nigel Adkins was sacked Southampton were 3 points above the relegation zone. At this point they are 12 points above the relegation zone, with most significantly a host of clubs separated by only 3-4 points.
I had a great deal of sympathy for Nigel Adkins and for a man to lose his job after successive promotions was appalling really. However a lot of people reviewed that decision after the immediate impact of his replacement. Southampton didn't look like a relegation candidate under Adkins but there's no question that they have made further significant steps in the right direction since NA left.
To get themselves where they have in the time taken is a really tremendous achievement. It appears that rougher times await though in the light of today's articles about Cortese leaving/not leaving etc.
I agree with Sobs on the comments on modern football. We can probably put this nonsense down to ignorance of history and a callous disregard for it.
sobs
Good read. Despite the fantastic surname, I'll have to disagree on one point – about "against modern football", but it's probably because Sam's too young to have experienced first hand the things that have been taken away from the game (and the watching of it) that we old gits miss

Indiana Lecture on Civil Disobedience
January 18, 2018 by JMC
Professor William Scheuerman will discuss his new book, Civil Disobedience, at Indiana University Bloomington.
American PoliticsIndiana University BloomingtonOstrom WorkshopTocqueville Lecture SeriesCivil disobedience
As part of the spring 2018 Tocqueville Lecture Series, a JMC partner program, the Ostram Workshop at Indiana University Blooming will host a lecture by William Scheuerman on civil disobedience, the topic of his new book.
Friday, February 16, 2018 • 12:00PM—2:00PM
Ostrom Workshop, 513 N. Park, Indiana University Bloomington
>>Learn more about the event here.
In his new book, William Scheuerman systematically analyzes the most important interpretations of civil disobedience. Drawing out the striking di erences separating religious, liberal, radical democratic, and anarchist views, he nonetheless shows that core commonalities remain. Against those who water down the idea of civil disobedience or view it as obsolescent, Scheuerman tries to salvage its central elements. The concept of civil disobedience, he argues, remains a pivotal tool for anyone hoping to bring about political and social change.

Q: Android creating a popup dialog by long click on listview item I'm a little bit confused how to handle a long click on a seperate listview item and then let a popup show for the item.
So here's my code, please ask some questions if you don't understand something.
MainActivity.java
ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView);

listView.setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {
            @SuppressLint("ResourceType")
            @Override
            public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
                PopupMenu p = new PopupMenu(MainActivity.this, v);
                p.getMenuInflater().inflate(R.layout.popup_layout, p.getMenu());
                p.show();
                return true;
            }
        });

popup_layout.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <menu
        android:layout_width="185dp"
        android:layout_height="141dp"
        tools:ignore="MissingConstraints"
        tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="96dp"
        tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="83dp">

        <item
            android:id="@+id/order_takeout"
            android:onClick="doTakeOut"
            android:title="@string/order_takeout"
            android:layout_width="delete" />

        <item
            android:id="@+id/order_eat_in"
            android:onClick="doEatIn"
            android:title="@string/edit" />
    </menu>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

viewcontents_layout.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/listView"
        android:layout_width="409dp"
        android:layout_height="729dp"
        tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="1dp"
        tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="1dp"
        android:longClickable="true"
        tools:ignore="MissingConstraints"/>

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

If anyone can help me out there I am very happy for an answer.
Stay healthy!

A: your wrong is using setOnLongClickListener
you can use :
listView.setOnItemLongClickListener(new OnItemLongClickListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1,
                int pos, long id) {

            return true;
        }
    });

A: So I solved the problem.

*

*Using another java class called ViewListContents and changed the place where my popup_layout is, I moved it into the menu and set some menu tags and not constraint tags.

*I've change the R.layout to R.menu in my onItemLongClickListener
In this class I used it like this:
    listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView);

    listView.setOnItemLongClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemLongClickListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View v, int position, long id) {
            PopupMenu p = new PopupMenu(ViewListContents.this, v);
            MenuInflater inflater = p.getMenuInflater();
            inflater.inflate(R.menu.popup_layout, p.getMenu());
            p.show();
            return true;
        }
    });
