Subject: CRD/LYR: I'm Allowed - Buffalo Tom

Yesterday I posted a request for the lyrics to I'm allowed by Buffalo
Tom. Thanks to Ben McTernan (bc80233@bingsuns.cc.binghamton.edu) I'm
able to post the song (along with the chords I figured out myself).
Just like an earlier post, I know the song from a semi-unplugged album
from a Dutch radio show (2 Meter Sessies, vol.5, Radio Records
477702-2, distributed by Sony), so it can slightly differ from the

I'm allowed - Buffulo Tom

G - G/F#

Em            Am
Waited for an answer
      Am/B  C                  G       G/F#
Cause I     waited twenty-five years
Em              Am
They stopped my bleeding
    Am/B  C                    G       G/F#
But could never stop all those tears

Em              Am
Waiting for the day when
    Am/B C                         G      G/F#
You came out from beneath all that weight
Em            Am
I've tried to lift it
Am/B C                        G    Am  C
But  it seems I got there too late

Just too late

Just too late

Came to the party
But I got my own signals crossed
Thought I was welcome
But I felt like I should get lost

Know that I'm older
'Cause I feel that everywhere
I could talk to no one
'Cause I knew not one person there

No one's there
They just stared
'Cause they're allowed

As vivid as a car-wreck
Watch them dripping off highway ramps
She came to me smiling
With her heart underneath both her hands

She spoke of a French boy
At least two times through the night
It could have been the liquor
Or the music, but that is alright

That's alright
She's allowed
I'm allowed
I'm allowed
I'm allowed

Thank you for being a great Latin teacher and for all your encouragement and inspiration.

Angelo Jul 12, 2017
Latin ·

In the one year that I had Mr. Scharping, it was easy to see how much he really loved the language. Personally, I loved his style of continuous repetition in order to learn things. In class he would speak to us in Latin and we would respond in Latin, which really helped me master the language. If you ever needed help he was also very open to help you out. I would gladly recommend Mr. Scharping to any of my friends, if they wanted to learn Latin, because of his diligence and extensive knowledge of the language.

This is the first time a cookery book has been chosen for the Big Library Read and looks like they’ve selected a good one with hundreds of five star ratings online. One reviewer stated:

“This is a wonderful book, inspirational in every way. The writing is an unexpected joy, evocative and moving. Perfect for those of us who really do read cookbooks as well as cook from them. But the recipes themselves will become an important part of your repertoire. Partly because Kate encourages you to think flexibly about what you are doing – which crust, which filling, how to combine them. And the instructions are clear and empowering. You can tell that I like this book! It is well worth a place on your shelf and may even change your life”

To get involved  just go to our OverDrive website or app between the 16th-30th March and you’ll find Art of the Pie waiting to be checked out near the top of the homepage. Full instructions for using OverDrive can be found on our Your Library site.

Spending Money I Don’t Have

Otherwise known as window shopping on the internet.

My most favourite thing to do on the internet (well, after looking at people’s facebook pages) is to go to an online store, any online store and fill the basket with things I like.
I can literally, spend hours doing it.
And then I can just close the page without spending any money after I’ve done my shopping!
Way less embarrassing than doing it in an actual store. Trust me.

The danger with doing this however, is it opens up a whole world of things you don’t have but are convinced you need.
Like these:

Lets face it. They’re freakin’ cool. And I don’t even own ANY leggings so it’s not because I like wearing tights as pants that I want these babies. I just do. They are cute, ok?

And then there is this:

More specifically, I want the entire set. And probably in the navy and the light pink. I JUST. CAN’T. CHOOSE. They are all so cute. And Tattoodaddy and I have been talking about needing to get some crockery that we can put in the microwave because our set at the moment is a gorgeous set from the opshop that uh… sparks when it is microwaved on account of the silver gilding. I mean, I don’t know if these ARE microwavable but he doesn’t need to know that, right?

I also would like pretty much everything from corsets-au.com in the Steampunk section especially this:

I have one of their corsets and I love it. I need to wear it more, which obviously means I need more of them. and definitely a gorgeous skirt to go with it as well.

But the thing that I really, really want is this:

I was looking at a Kindle but I figure I may as well spend a little more imaginary money and buy something that I can hand over to the boy child to keep him entertained for a while.
And yes, it’s Android. I really don’t like Apple products at all since my iPhone decided whenever it was plugged into my laptop it would freeze both the laptop and the phone and make them unusable. And yes, smart ass, I did try turning it off and on again.

So there you have it. The things that I’m wanting most at the moment.
And no, I did not receive any free stuff for this. I’m just procrastinating my uni by online shopping for things.
Although, if anyone would like to send me any of these things…

23 Things I’ve Learned as a VC

Looking back at three years in venture
By Taylor Davidson | September 4th, 2014

For the last three and a half years, and until recently, I worked as a venture capitalist in NYC focused on early-stage enterprise investing. Through my own career path and experiences I’ve learned a number of things about venture capital investing, working with entrepreneurs, and building a career in venture capital. Here’s twenty-three things I’ve learned so far.

1) Back theses, not product visions.

Josh Miller explains it as such:

… early-stage investors should be looking for entrepreneurs who are thesis-driven and implementation-agnostic.

When I first started, I was overly tied to evaluating product visions, and made decisions based on specific implementation paths sketched out by founders. What I learned 1 was two things:

  • Markets have an indelible impact on the opportunities and available paths for startups
  • Product visions and paths will change as an entrepreneur builds experience in a space
  • People’s ability to create and execute on a theis in a market was what determined success

I quickly came to believe in two heuristics, "bad market beats great team" and "bet on technology risks, not market risks, that guided how I thought about markets, products and teams. Instead of asking about product features or product paths, I learned to spend more time learning about an entrepreneur’s thesis on how the world is evolving and what people need. I learned to look closer at the people and how they came to their theses, rather than the specific product vision they were able to articulate at the moment. And I learned to love people and markets more than products.

2) Build investment theses, invest in people.

A common consideration for VCs is whether they want to be thesis-driven or more opportunistic, i.e. do they want to create a thesis about how the world will evolve and then invest in companies building towards that, or do they want to be opportunistic around trends and just focus on backing great entrepreneurs? The difference is how you build your own skillset: do you develop a deep competence in a specific set of markets, or are you more of a generalist with a more shallow understanding in a larger set of markets? The ultimate answer is to not think of it as an either/or choice; it’s important to understand your own skillsets, personalities, and experiences to help you choose the right ways to focus your own career as a VC.

Theses matter to the extent that it determines the markets you choose to invest in and the people you work with. After that, it’s all about people.

Know what you’re building in yourself and your firm, be clear in your differentiation and value-add, and back entrepreneurs that need and can leverage what you’re building. Your work to develop a depth of knowledge and relationships in a market will be how and why you find the entrepreneurs you back. I worked hard to develop my point of views about advertising and advertising technology, particularly around the role of intent data, native advertising, programmatic advertising, web publishing, mobile messaging, and it played a direct role in how I met and was able to support the entrepreneurs I met, advised, and invested in.

3) Timing matters.

It took me awhile to understand and fully embrace how important timing is to investing: critical for a startup to understand why right now is the time for a particular business or technology to succeed, and also critical for dealmaking. Timing, the sense of why something matters right now, is important, but is matched with pace, the sense of how fast markets, companies, technologies, and people are moving. In dynamic environments, understanding timing and pace is critically important, yet it’s also hard to observe from the outside. Much technological and business progress happens behind the scenes and will never be observed by the public, so it’s very difficult for outsiders to observe and judge pace accurately and appropriately. Always ask: "Why now?"

4) Be clear in how you define "great" entrepreneurs and teams.

An easy cliche for a venture capitalist is to say that "we look for, back, and support great entrepreneurs building great teams". And while it’s true, what does "great" mean? The cleanest way I would describe a great entrepreneur is someone with a unique, differentiated reason to be better at executing this business, in this market, with their team, than anyone else, an inner capacity and ability to build a great company. "Great" is hard to define and even harder to identify a priori, but focusing on the how and why someone is uniquely qualified to win at this business provides a bit of grounding that helps one figure out greatness.

5) Listen first, listen always.

Listening is one thing I’ve always worked hard at, and one thing that entrepreneurs have said that I do well. Telling entrepreneurs what to do may feel great, but it’s more important and valuable (to both entrepreneurs and VCs) to listen first, talk second.

VCs are guides and mentors, not managers. Actively ask questions about thought processes, learnings, and goals in order to understand their situation, listen and internalize what people say, and then draw on your own experiences and knowledge to give the right guidance for the situation. And because any advice is inherently shaped by one’s own experiences, personality, and perspective, it’s important to listen first so we can assess how our advice fits the situation at hand.

Listen before you talk. If you don’t listen, you don’t learn. 2

6) Become intimately aware of your biases.

Biases are inherent to humans and impossible to completely remove. And we shouldn’t: biases, heuristics, patterns, and stereotypes are all ways to describe how we use past information, experiences and observations to process new information. They are natural, as it’s impossible for the mind to process all past and present information to make brand-new decisions, so we have to store the results of some decision processes in our memory to call on in the future.

The results of those stored processes is what we call judgment and gut, but it’s also the source of biases and stereotypes. We can’t defeat and expunge our biases without shredding our judgment ability, so instead, be acutely, intimately aware of where our biases come from, and call them out to make sure our decisions are not guided by biases. Note our inherent biases when seeing new information, when meeting new entrepreneurs, when looking at new markets, when testing new products. Pattern matching is important, but we can’t be beholden to the patterns we’ve developed. And that’s why it’s important to use a diversity of perspectives and ideas to make good decisions.

7) Lean into what you don’t understand.

Don’t discard what you don’t understand. The most interesting and valuable ideas tap into emergent user behaviors that we won’t understand at first (that’s why big ideas often emerge disguised as bad ideas or toys). Use your befuddlement over why anyone would want to do something as a signal that it’s worth learning more about. Emergent behaviors only make sense in retrospect.

I visited Las Vegas and the Downtown Project a couple years ago for a Tech Cocktail Tech Week and remember watching Tim Draper quiz the Romotive founder in their apartment as he played with a Romo robot, asking question after question, probing the founder to understand everything about the product, their thesis, and their approach. His intense curiosity stood in my mind, a reminder of why we have to work to learn what we don’t intuitively understand.

8) Ask dumb questions.

Hopefully, in every meeting you’re in, the entrepreneur will know more about their business, market, product, idea, and team than you do. Don’t let your intellectual ego stop you from asking your dumb questions; dumb questions can be good questions.

Why? For one, you can help an entrepreneur understand their own inherent biases and mind blocks in how they think about and sell their ideas. Entrepreneurs will have to explain their ideas, products and businesses to range of people, including press, prospective hires, prospective partners, and more, and it’s important to see and help how they communicate their ideas.

In addition, it can open up new avenues and new patterns in ways you wouldn’t have immediately recognized. You don’t have to know the answers, but you do have to know the questions. And you have to know how to understand and synthesize what you hear so you can give good feedback.

Since I was focused heavily on advertising and marketing technology the last couple years, I developed an expertise in the space and saw a lot of similar ideas, but found that I still had to keep a beginner’s mind; just because we’ve seen it before doesn’t mean we’ve seen it all. 3

9) Make time to learn.

Your job is to believe in things others don’t, so start by taking the time to learn what you believe and why you believe it. It’s easy to be a slave to one’s calendar, and see every free space as a time to meet someone and talk about their ideas. But at some point, you have to spend the time to develop the ideas and grounded, unique perspectives that can differentiate you as an investor. Sounds easy, but it takes a consistent, conscious effort to make the space for investigation and reflection.

I make a point to allocate two afternoons a week to researching and understanding ideas, trends and spaces that I thought would be valuable for me. Every Wednesday and Friday, 12-5, were times that I blocked out on my calendar ahead of time, and worked hard to keep clear of meetings, calls, email, and requirements so I could make the time to learn and write.

Leave open space on your calendar, just like your mind.

10) Form your own opinion.

Venture capital can be a lonely endeavor, but it’s important to decouple interpersonal loneliness from intellectual loneliness. It can differ by firm, but interpersonal loneliness is something inherent to the job that you can combat by building networks with entrepreneurs, partners, investors, press, and great people.

Intellectual loneliness is what allows you to develop non-consensus viewpoints and investments. Pursue things you think are interesting, not just things everybody thinks is interesting. 4 And being intellectually lonely is a precursor to making non-consensus investment decisions. Don’t just form an opinion, form your opinion.

11) Bias for curiosity, friction, and serendipity.

You can’t learn by staying in the office, only meeting the people you know, only reading the normal things you read, only agreeing with what you read. Be curious, find opposing viewpoints, find new people, find different networks, find new ideas. Take odd meetings to create serendipity. Reach out cold to people doing things you find interesting. Be willing to be wrong. Test, try, and learn.

When I see or read about something interesting, I don’t just read the news article about it: I research the people behind it, find their email or Twitter, and send them a note to tell them I thought it was interesting. I made a lot of great connections over the years by reaching out and saying hello.

12) The intellectual side of meeting and evaluating big, new ideas is fun and interesting, but VC is won and lost on more than intellect.

For a number of years before I came to VC I used to read about, interpret, and armchair critique venture capital fundraising announcements, wondering and analyzing and often knocking the viability of an investment. I’ve now come to realize a couple things: that there’s a lot more that goes into VC than the investments, that there’s a lot of context behind an investment that the public will never see, that deciding on investments is far harder and more meaningful than analyzing ideas, and that figuring out where valuable companies are going to be built and then actually positioning yourself to invest in them are related, but ultimately separate things.

Andrew Parker of Spark Capital explained it well when he talked about the challenge in VC:

The lesson here is that venture capital is less about identifying great investment opportunities and is far more about getting access to those opportunities. Knowing that this handful of companies would become interesting in 2010 is not what makes a great VC. It’s convincing the entrepreneurs in all these companies to partner with you on their journey; that’s the battle.

This is a part of the tactical and operational side to VC that I didn’t understand before, but have worked hard to learn over the last three years.

13) Uncertainty is a feature, not a bug.

Uncertainty is your friend. Uncertainty is what creates the opportunity for you to build things others don’t see, to make decisions others don’t understand, to learn things others won’t spend the time learning about, to invest in entrepreneurs and companies others aren’t sure will succeed. Uncertainty is what provides you the opportunity to make the non-consensus decisions required for outsized returns.

Marc Andreessen explained the process as:

"We think you can draw a 2×2 matrix for venture capital. …And on one axis you could say, consensus versus non-consensus. And on the other axis you can say, successful or failure. And of course, you make all your money on successful and non-consensus. … it’s very hard to make money on successful and consensus. Because if something is already consensus then money will have already flooded in and the profit opportunity is gone. And so by definition in venture capital, if you are doing it right, you are continuously investing in things that are non-consensus at the time of investment. And let me translate ‘non-consensus’: in sort of practical terms, it translates to crazy. You are investing in things that look like they are just nuts.”

Embraced in a conscious, repeatable manner, the uncertainties you choose to invest in will define your investment thesis.

14) Entrepreneurs are more important than VCs.

Don’t waste an entrepreneur’s time. Be prepared. Be present. Be on time. Follow-through. Check your ego. Call out your biases. Mentor, don’t preach. Know when you can give advice, but also know when you can’t. Allocate success (and failure) appropriately.

For the last couple years I surveyed every entrepreneur I met to solicit their anonymous feedback so that I could find out what I was doing right and wrong. I leveraged Phin Barnes’s approach and asked a set of structured and open-ended questions, which I reviewed regularly to understand what I was doing right and wrong. I worked hard to integrate the results into my work, making sure I was clear in my follow-ups, explained our process and thesis clearly, followed through on my introductions and feedback, and made meetings valuable for entrepreneurs regardless of the investment decision. In 2013 I explained the process and published the results, and still regularly run and review the survey.

15) Be clear in your decision process.

"Saying no" is a controversial topic among entrepreneurs and VCs; entrepreneurs generally want to hear decisions quickly and efficiently, while VCs are incented to wait to make decisions in order to observe more information and reduce the risks behind investing. Writing "pass notes" to entrepreneurs is one of the first things Darren Herman taught me to do, spending the time to teach me at first, and then giving me the room to develop my approach and voice. I take the approach of:

  • If it’s a no, say no.
  • When I say no, I make a point to say why.
  • If it’s a no, be open to talking again in the future.

I make an effort to be clear about the decision process and timeline, and to follow-through with entrepreneurs on information and decision points proactively. To do that effectively, it’s important to define your process, communicate it with entrepreneurs, and do what you say you will. Being clear, constructive, and being open to having conversations about decisions helped me build productive, closer relationships with entrepreneurs.

16) "What do we believe without question that will be proven mistaken in the future?"

Peter Thiel famously asks entrepreneurs:

“What is something you believe that nearly no one agrees with you on?”

In a related way, I’ve held the belief for a long time that at any point in time, there exists a belief throughout society, so deeply held that it’s never questioned, that will ultimately be proven wrong or mistaken. Whenever you look back at time and think about the widespread beliefs that people held that seems ridiculous now, remember that someone will say the same about you in the future.

That’s why I hold the thought question "What do we believe without question that will be proven mistaken in the future?" in my mind as a reminder to always look for innovation and be open to changing my mind. "Strong opinions, weakly held."

Thiel’s question asks you to explain something you believe but everyone else doesn’t; my question asks you to explain something we all believe but shouldn’t. While Thiel’s question is perhaps more instructive for evaluating entrepreneurs and forcing people to explain potential startup ideas, my question is a bit different, and focuses the attention on questioning current truths.

17) "To know what you think, write it down."

"To know what you think, write it down" is true. I’ve always used writing as a way to crystallize my thinking, and over the last couple years, writing in public has been a critical way for me to learn and connect with people. Writing has helped my career tremendously, and has directly led to introductions, relationships, talks,panels, keynotes, and even investment deals.

Start a blog. Don’t focus on what it looks like, or what platform to use: focus on thinking and writing first. As you build your voice and relationships, you can create a more complex content strategy using social media, newsletters, guest posts, and media publications to aid in distribution, but it all has to start with your own writing.

I’ve used writing as a core output of the learning time I allocate each week; writing about a topic is how I force myself to develop and express a viewpoint on a topic that I’m curious about or need to know. Lately for me, those topics have been mobile apps, computational photography, deep linking, unbundling, card architecture, native advertising, and much more: /categories/perspective.

18) Focus on trendlines, invest in step-changes.

Bill Clinton used a quote in his closing speech at CGI 2013, which was close to a thought he’d expressed in the past:

Focus on trendlines, not headlines.

It’s been interpreted in a number of ways, but at the core is the thought that behind the immediate headlines are often years, even decades, of hard work with little recognition, and that you have to build the trendlines to get the headlines.

Venture capitalists focus their time and efforts in understanding the underlying trendlines behind market shifts, changing consumer needs, and the state and growth of companies, and in many ways these changes won’t hit the headlines; but when it comes time to invest, it’s important to focus on the step-changes behind the trendlines. Predicting that a change will happen in "3-5 years" is easy, but it’s more rewarding to think about what events will create the changes. Step-change events signal investment opportunities that lead to exponential growth, rather than trendline growth, and provide the foundation for outsized returns.

19) In the short-run, judge a VC by how they play the game; in the long-run, judge a VC by their successes, not their failures.

Venture is a long-term, multi-turn game with long memories and long feedback loops. When you make a number of investments, your failures often come first and your successes take time to mature. Successes and failures are events subject to incredible environmental distortion, and for a VC, often outside their ability to impact.

A good exit isn’t necessarily proof for a good investment decision (and vice versa). (link)

If there are about 200 startups each year fundable by top VCs and 15 companies that will generate 95% of all economic returns, that means that we’ll invest in a lot of companies that fail. But given the distribution of returns and the massive wins that come from the 15 winners, it’s more important to invest in a winner than to have a high average of successes. It takes quantity to get to quality, and you have to make a lot of investments (and fund a lot of failures) to find winners. The required sports analogy: judge a VC by slugging percentage, not batting average.

20) Know how you can uniquely best help your investments succeed, and execute on that.

Early-stage investing is drastically different than late-stage investing. Lead investing is different than follow investing. Angel investing is different than Series A investing. Know the game you’re playing and understand how expectations and rules change, and build your knowledge, relationships, and skillsets accordingly. And it’s true: networks, relationships, and the ability to help entrepreneurs succeed through connecting them to solve needs are the keys to building a successful career in the space.

How you are able to leverage your experiences and expertise to support your portfolio will define your reputation with entrepreneurs. Be clear about how you can help an entrepreneur upfront and build that relationship from the beginning. Reactive, sporadic support is less valuable than proactive, consistent support. Build clear lines of communication. Leverage platforms and tools and define clear ways to provide value-add to do more than the semi-regular and reactive "catch-up". 5

Every firm will be different. For us, we undertook a number of efforts to make us a corporate venture capital investor that knew where and when we could be valuable for entrepreneurs and for the firm. We created and published a book about entrepreneurship, we created an educational program to teach people at the firm about entrepreneurship and venture capital and help build relationships between the firm and startups. We created events, panels and talks to bring people in the advertising industry together.

Would that be the strategy for all firms? No. But it fit our particular focus, the kind of startups we backed, and the goals of the larger organization.

21) Doing the right deals is more important than doing the best deals.

While the amount of capital raised is the most public news about new funding announcements, price (i.e. valuation) is the most-rumored debated aspect of financings. In practical terms, valuation should be looked at only around the context of financing, i.e. the price an investor paid to invest capital into the business, and not a market-clearing determination of a company’s value compared to other private or public companies. Even beyond that, without evaluating the broader terms of the deal, which will never be public, prices of investments are not strictly comparable by the public.

But even for VCs executing deals, price matters only to a degree. Price is determined a mixture of a company’s performance and the broader market climate for comparable investment opportunities. And while it’s generally beneficial for an investor to invest at a lower valuation than a higher valuation, even that only matters to a degree. While the economic returns of VCs fit a power law distribution, the results of startups largely fit a binomial distribution: they succeed or they fail. If the startup succeeds, the valuation of an early round likely has very little impact on the financial returns of the investment; and if it fails, then a zero is a zero regardless of the price you paid.

22) Disrupt, or be disrupted.

Recognize that the market between entrepreneurs and VCs has traditionally suffered from information asymmetry: VCs are able to see the overall fundraising market at a much more macro level than entrepreneurs, and so their information about the process is typically far better than entrepreneurs. But that’s changing: AngelList, Mattermark, Crunchbase, accelerators, blogs, Twitter, and the web is providing far more information to entrepreneurs and changing how venture capital firms use information and media to build reputations and source deals.

When I first worked at a startup in 2000 and went through the fundraising process, it was drastically different: none of these sources of information existed the market was far more opaque. The market for venture capital is trending towards being more transparent, more participatory, and more efficient. Venture capital is being disrupted, because the game isn’t the same it used to be, and it won’t be the same in the future.

The examples are plentiful: many firms are adapting, hiring recruiters, community managers, business development partners, helping with press and PR, and building portfolio communication tools in order to make them more attractive to entrepreneurs and a better source of capital than other firms. And funds are investing in their own analysis toolsets, using custom, proprietary tools and platforms like Mattermark, Disruption, and AngelList to help them source and analyze potential investments.

23) Do the hard work.

It takes a long time to succeed in venture capital, as it takes a long time for relationships to build, for companies to mature and exits to occur, for hard work to pay off. Think long-term. Don’t go for "hot" deals just because they are hot. Know how you’re different from other VCs, and continue to evolve and build your value-add. Know why you’re backing the entrepreneurs and companies you’re backing. Be honest, intellectually and interpersonally. Make the time to build long-term, meaningful relationships.

It takes a long time to realize returns; as Mark Suster explained:

But the truth is only time will tell whether I’m financially a successful VC… Any VC 3 years in saying otherwise would either be exaggerating, lucky or an extreme outlier.

Stay true, consistent, and do the hard work, and it will pay off in one way or another. 6

I’ll be the first to acknowledge the range of things I haven’t talked about here: raising a fund, managing LPs, managing struggles or difficult situations with founders and portfolio companies, being a great board member, and many other topics. Always more to learn.

  1. Did I learn slowly or quickly? Perhaps the entrepreneurs I met could tell you.

  2. David Lee explains how listening is important to him

  3. David Lee (a) talks about how to deal with biases

  4. Explained deeper by Paul Buchheit

  5. I haven’t been perfect at this, but I’m working towards it.

  6. At least that’s my belief to date.

Relevance of Self-knowledge

April 1, 2013 Comments Off on Relevance of Self-knowledge

Exposition of the Soul will have its meaning and relevance only when it is related to our life, revealing clearly how the thought and realization of the Soul will impact our day-to-day life and interaction. As in the case of Arjuna in Kurukshetra battlefield, the Soul science is imparted only to free the mind of various conflicts, torments and enigmas. While emotional conflict or turmoil is a creation of the mind, rational question or doubt is a product of the intelligence. Only when both these are redressed or resolved, the seeker will have the desired peace, freedom and poise.

It is here that Self-knowledge excels. Self-knowledge is an armour which enables individuals to course through vicissitudes of life, arising from interactions with persons, places and events. It empowers the mind and intelligence to rise above the usual worldly pressures and persecutions.

This practical relevance of the science of Self-realization should be properly grasped and let known to people. Knowledge is the paramount constituent of human life. When the intelligence assimilates an idea or proposition, it inevitably passes it to the mind, and both intelligence and mind become radiant. Nothing can then stop them from expressing this knowledge in all their actions and interactions.

The Soul is the one brilliance, on which the whole spiritual science and pursuit rest. A right understanding of the Soul as well as the functional aspects of the Soul-knowledge, is bound to bring about wholesome refinement in the seeker. It is in this context that Vasishthadev dwells repeatedly on the uninvolved nature of the Soul, by explaining it variously with illustrations. These are meant to help reflect upon the subject repeatedly. Such reflection, when taken up in depth, intensifies saadhanaa.  – Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha

Detroit neighborhood improvement plan still intact

Mayor revisits neighborhoods
As initiative shows progress, Kilpatrick eyes funding for more areas of the city

Not quite 5 months old, Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick’s plan to kick-start neighborhood improvement is about to get its own makeover.

Today, Kilpatrick is expected to unveil a wealth of demographic data that he hopes will help a newly formed group of nonprofits, financial institutions and private corporations create an economic-stimulus plan that ultimately will cover the entire city.

The initial focus remains on jump-starting revitalization in six neighborhoods by beefing up police presence, cleaning streets, razing abandoned homes and bringing in new business and housing.But the larger goal is to create a blueprint for economic and community reinvestment in Detroit, said Anika Goss-Foster, director of philanthropic affairs for the mayor’s office.

While exploring ways to implement Kilpatrick’s Next Detroit Neighborhood Initiative, the mayor and his staff took a wider view, Goss-Foster said.

In May, Kilpatrick pledged $125 million in tax dollars over five years to upgrade services in six neighborhoods. He also said he would seek to raise $100 million from foundations plus additional money from the sale of bonds. But in this economy, with a financially strapped city and state, floating bonds isn’t a viable option, at least for now, Goss-Foster said.

“The mayor is now sitting at the table with 20 private foundations and financial institutions working on an investment model,” Goss-Foster said last week. “We were at this $100-million figure but realized, by really working in partnership, the public/private commitment can be limitless. This is unprecedented.”

Among those involved are the Skillman Foundation of Detroit and the Knight Foundation of Miami.

At a news conference today, Kilpatrick is expected to detail the revamped plan and highlight accomplishments made in each neighborhood since May.

He is expected to tout the coordination of at least some city services, including trimming trees and repairing streetlights and police raiding abandoned houses used for prostitution and drug dealing; and following up with demolition requests to the Building Safety and Engineering Department.

While none of the neighborhoods has had major improvements, residents of some areas said they’ve seen more police on the streets, a drop in crimes such as home break-ins and car thefts and an increase in raids on drug houses.

Kilpatrick has attended numerous community meetings in recent months, some residents said, leaving them with a sense of hope for the future.

“He’s been quite visible over here, which is a positive change,” said Tony Russell, pastor of New Covenant of Peace World Impact Ministries in the Osborn Community on Detroit’s far east side. “For a while I thought he was just a west-side mayor.

“There’s a new sense of hope in the community and an undercurrent of excitement.”

Identifying neighborhood needs

Kilpatrick picked the six neighborhoods, saying they represent a spectrum of needs.

The Osborn and Grand River/Greenfield neighborhoods had decent housing with a mix of homeowners and renters but needed more retail and attention from the city, including code enforcement and police.

The 7 Mile/Livernois area and East English Village were considered stable areas needing reinforcement. They had a high number of homeowners, a lot of property crime and a need for retail development.

Blighted Brightmoor and the North End were in need of a complete overhaul.

The Rev. Jerome Warfield Sr., chairman of the Brightmoor Alliance, said his community has benefited from a drop in crime. According to data from police that he provided, the number of robberies, burglaries, assaults, larcenies and vehicle thefts dropped by 26% in July and August compared with a year earlier.

“That’s one of the things that’s very noticeable to us,” said Warfield, pastor of Mt. Vernon Missionary Baptist Church.

He praised efforts of the Detroit Police Department’s Northwest District to cut prostitution and step up code enforcement by ticketing for abandoned vehicles, debris and other violations.

The city also responded quickly to demolish blighted structures, Warfield said. A few months ago, a theater caught fire and the next day the city bulldozed it, he said.

“They’ve been very responsive and very proactive,” he said. “Overall, I’m happy. We always want more. But we do see progress.”

But Vicky Reyes, a University District resident, part of the 7 Mile/Livernois target area, said she is disappointed with progress so far.

The city was supposed to cut down a large number of dead and dying trees in rights-of-way and begin work to revitalize the business district on Livernois, known as the Avenue of Fashion. But the city cut down trees on only three blocks of a side street, Reyes said. The city’s arborists had to move on to other parts of the city, something Reyes said she understands. Still, she expected more.

Reyes said the city also indicated the glass covers on street lamps would be cleaned to brighten streets at night, but Reyes hasn’t seen any evidence of it.

“It’s a little disappointing to see a lot of promises and minimal follow-through,” she said.

Study results due today

Kilpatrick and his staff are banking on an extensive analysis of the city to help them tweak the neighborhood plan.

Social Compact, a Washington, D.C.-based coalition of national business leaders that promotes investment in urban areas, completed a six-month study of Detroit and is expected to present findings today.

The analysis includes demographic data but also statistics on tax assessments, building-permit activity, automobile registrations, credit-bureau information and utility use. The information is designed to highlight the spending power of Detroiters and convince big and small retailers that it makes sense to do business in Detroit.

Social Compact has done similar analyses for Chicago, Cleveland, Houston and Washington, D.C.

“The enormity of this information validates a lot of the positions we’ve taken with the neighborhood initiative, said Matt Allen, Kilpatrick’s spokesman. “It’s great for the city as a whole to have such refined and precise information to move the city forward.”

RIM’s PlayBook Push: Buy Two, Get One Free

Next Story

Is The Nook Color 2 Launching On November 7th?

RIM’s ailing PlayBook has seen its fair share of price cuts at your local big box retailers, but here’s a deal just for all you businessfolk out there. From now until the end of the 2011, RIM is running a buy-two-get-one-free deal on their tablets through their network of authorized resellers.

The announcement makes no mention of the specific PlayBook models that business users can pick up, but presumably all three are on the table. The deal is sweetened a bit by a secondary offer that gives away one premium PlayBook accessory per tab purchased, so those just dying to score a leather sleeve, charging pod, or a 6 ft. HDMI cable can rest easy.

It’s not a bad deal per se, but it obviously presupposes that you or your business actually wants 3 PlayBooks in the first place. Despite being a RIM product, PlayBooks seem to lack some of the business-savvy that made BlackBerrys so ubiquitous. And speaking of BlackBerrys, don’t forget to keep them handy; with the PlayBook OS’s 2.0 release pushed back until February of next year, you and your coworkers will have to lean on BlackBerry Bridge for trivial things like email and BBM for just a bit longer.

if you’re just tickled by the prospect of swimming in PlayBooks, feel free to check out RIM’s list of vendors, or see if there’s one within spitting distance.

ImageRanger Makes Organizing Your Pictures A Breeze - TechGeek365

ImageRanger Makes Organizing Your Pictures A Breeze

imageranger makes organizing your photos easy

How do you organize your pictures? Do you store them all in a single folder or do you create a new folder every time when you transfer new photos to your PC? It turns out most people simply do not have enough time to sort out their archives.

Year after year we get more files and at some point, there is a huge messy directory containing many kinds of photos, mixed all together. Some call this problem a “digital mess”. There are multiple tools to help you organize your image archives.

One of the best software was Picasa from Google, but it is no longer supported and is not even available for download officially. Perhaps Google wants us to have all the photos in the cloud. So, what if we want to have them locally on our own HDD or storage cards? With the new software, called ImageRanger you can sort your photos with just a few clicks.

When importing a new photo, ImageRanger will put it to the correct folder. If you shoot pictures with a mobile device, there is a good chance that your photos are GEO tagged. In this case ImageRanger can organize your photo archive using the GPS location information. Would it be nice to have a folder structure like this?

Most photo management tasks can be also very done easily with ImageRanger. Things like rating your images, assigning text keywords, filtering by capture time or location. You can even quickly sort images by number of people to quickly find group portraits.

If there are many duplicate photos on your storage drives, ImageRanger can help to find and remove the duplicated content. Isn’t it convenient to see the number of copies directly when you browse your Images?

For those who shoot images for the stock photo websites, you may be interested in tagging your images with the descriptive keywords. Adobe recommends to have at least 5 relevant keywords for each image. But how would you find the images with less keywords among your archive?

With ImageRanger you can very easily sort your photos by number of keywords. This allows you to find those files, which might require a bit more of your attention. You can view thousands of files with ImageRanger, loaded from multiple folders.

Overall, ImageRanger is a great tool to help you manage your digital image content.

Race Driver GRID
I tested this absolutely gorgeous-looking game with FRAPS, as well, and in order to keep things simple, I decided to capture frame rates over a single, longer session as I raced around the track. This approach has the advantage of letting me report second-by-second frame-rate results.

Yowza. The Radeon HD 4870 is nearly twice as fast as the 3870, which is good enough to put it at the very top of the single-GPU solutions. Two 4850 or 4870 cards seem to scale well in CrossFire, as well.

For what it's worth, I tried re-testing the 3870 X2 with the new Catalyst 8.6 drivers to see whether they had a CrossFire profile for GRID, like the 4800 series drivers obviously do, but performance was the same. I also tried renaming the game executable, but that attempt seemed to run afoul of the game's copy protection somehow. Oh well.

This exceptionally well located property has been hugely extended from its original 80m2 and now comprises 2 full bedrooms, and other smaller rooms both upstairs and downstairs, currently not used as bedrooms, but contribute to an overall interior living space of around 110m2.

Undoubtedly its greatest attribute is it corner position, with no other properties overlooking it, and tremendous views to the beach, sea and mountains, and surrounding countryside. The property offers almost total privacy and seclusion, although being one of some 60 houses in a private urbanization with gardens and communal swimming pool.

The upstairs terrace has panoramic views over La Tejita beach, and the sea, and also towards Teide and the surrounding mountains.

The kitchen which has been extended from its original size, is fully equipped and includes electric oven, gas hobs and water heater. There is one large and one smaller utility room attached to the rear of the kitchen.

There are 2 bath/shower rooms, one on each floor. Upstairs space has been interestingly converted to currently provide walk in wardrobes ?â¬? and a larger than normal main bedroom.

Entry to the house is via a private and secure door from the garage, and through a small seperate dining room, to the main living area of the property.

Film Score Review – “Gettysburg”

Gettysburg Poster

As we once again find ourselves marching toward Veteran’s Day, I’ve dusted off the CD cover of one of my favorite film scores of all time. Randy Edelman’s Gettysburg is an absolute masterpiece. Not only does Edelman capture the history of the time by using period instruments such as banjos and fifes, but he also takes the deeply personal stories of each soldier and sets them to music, breathing new life into these powerful historic accounts. The result is a film score which is sweepingly epic, intimately beautiful, and absolutely haunting.

My favorite musical moment occurs as a group of exhausted Southern soldiers lie wounded around a campfire and talk about why they joined this war effort in the first place. Some explain that they were simply trying to protect their homes and families, while others say they did it to preserve their family honor. Then they receive the news that Robert E. Lee has surrendered, and their battle has been lost. As these courageous men wipe tears from their eyes, the film score plays the familiar Southern fight song, “Dixie.” But instead of an energetic march filled with brilliant fife and full of fighting spirit, the tune is played at a much slower pace. While the familiar melody remains unchanged, it is accompanied by sorrowful minor arpeggios performed by banjo. All of this reflects the deep reflection – and heartbreaking sorrow – of the moment.

“Dixie” – from Gettysburg, by Randy Edelman

Each time I listen to this powerful arrangement I begin to meditate on the battles we each face in life, especially spiritual ones. I also find myself reflecting on the very real danger of spiritual pride.

Proverbs 16:18 says that “pride comes before destruction, and an arrogant spirit before a fall.” The moment we begin to think that we have all of life’s challenges handled and are doing just fine on our own, we find ourselves in a “Dixie Moment” of our own, battle-worn and weary, and mourning another deep and painful loss.

This is why Scripture exhorts us to wake up every morning and refuse to face life on our own. Instead, we are to begin each day by running to God for help. We can put on the armor of God by finding wisdom in His Word, protection through developing a strong faith in God’s might and not our own, and praying on all occasions (Ephesians 6:10-18).

Doing life on our own only results in sorrow, but relying fully on God’s power will bring us victory. If we can learn to do this daily, then we can live triumphant lives and march to the beat of a much happier drum!

  1. Well said!
    Movies (and life) would be much less “vibrant” without a well-executed musical score.

    Thank you for the reminder to daily tune our hearts to align with the direction of the Holy Spirit 🙂

  2. Thank you for introducing me to a movie I hadn’t known of. You describe they way music is used beautifully. I grew up singing Dixie and loved it, I’m touched by your observation of “Dixie moments” and how they limit living in the future. I’m glad to be reminded today that I go forward with God’s grace.

Brain Pocket - Regular Size Traveler's Notebook

My people has been asking me this question:
"What's inside your Regular size Traveler's Notebooks?"

So, I decided to do a post about my Tan / Cream color Regular size Traveler's Notebook, the Brain Pocket.

Brain Pocket was customized by a lady crafter from Japan.
I had this Traveler's Notebook since 2010 (shortly after I purchased my Midori Regular Size TN).
I was attracted by the color of the leather, and the opportunity to choose the button I wanted to be on the leather.
I have been safe keeping it and only decided to use in this year (2014).

I purchased the corner pocket from the bookstore, so that I can keep the loose paper.
It works out well, and it soon filled up with a lot junk paper.

This set up starts with a Midori Zipper Pocket (Refill 008).
Obviously, the front portion allows me to hold bigger piece of junk paper.

I added a 6-pockets kraft paper folder crafted by my cousin, Karen (thank you Karen for making this for me).
This is where I slot all my receipts. I have tons of them in there now.

I have 2 Grid Notebooks (refill 002) inside this Traveler's Notebook.
One for daily recording - expenses, ideas, information, etc.
The other is for personal journaling (my writetherapy).

The back of the kraft paper folder.

Another accessory I have is the Midori Card File (refill 007).
This is where I keep my business card and also business cards of others.

Currently, I am keeping some cash notes inside this Zipper Pocket.

I have attached a pen holder that similar to Midori Pen Holder (refill 016).
And I carry 2 pens in this Traveler's Notebook - Hero Fountain 372, and Lamy Logo ball point pen.

  1. Nice, See are you selling insert folders?

  2. Hi Yochanan, no, I'm not. Those folders are made by my cousin.

Checker Box with Graph paper

I learnt about this new way of using the notebook during a visit to the museum.
I cant remember which historical explorer used his notebook in this manner, but I found that it was pretty neat with this way of Organising his notes.
In each box, he wrote down is discovery, and even drew little sketches inside the box.

I decided to give it a try.
In my Field Notes Original Kraft Graph paper, I divided each page into 15 checker boxes (each box is about 6x6 squares on the Graph paper).
While not all the checker boxes are perfect, I made sure that I have sufficient space within each checker box to for my "notes".

I started off with my To-Do-List.
I wrote down one to two items in each box, and then strike the item off when it’s completed.
This way makes my To-Do-List looks more organised compare to the old method (of listing them / squeezing them into a page).

Then, I used the checker boxes to list out the Udemy courses that I had purchased (but have yet attended them).
By listing them out, I know the sequences of the course to complete.
Pretty neat and organised isn't it?

As you can see, I actually wrote the title on the top left hand corner, and highlighted it with different colours.
It makes it easier for me to identify the page; for example, pink colour is for To-Do-List and Green is for notes.

Beside To-Do-List and notes, I had also used this method to list down the items I'm selling and the price.
I had even tried plotting my schedule using this method, but it's actually best to do it with pencil.
After attempted this checker box concept for about two weeks, I discovered some pros and cons.

- Save paper: There are lesser white spaces on each page, which means that I am fully utilizing the page.
- Notes are more organised: it is now easier to look at my notes with just a glance.
- Neat and Tidy: The writings are neater as there are limited space to scribble.

- Time consuming to draw lines: If you are not a fan of drawing lines, this can frustrate you a bit. For me, i quite enjoy the process.
- Small handwriting: if you hate small handwritings, this isn't for you.
- Too rigid, lack of creativity: some might feel that its too "compress", and might find this to be a headache.

I am not sure if I like this when I first tried it, but now, I am sold, I actually find this method useful for me.

Give it a try and share with us how you like it.

My Time at Pepperologie

What a fantastic month October was! I just love this time of the year, especially the fact that everything is pumpkin! I've been so blessed with so many fun opportunities. One of which has been that Ive gotten the amazing opportunity to be a part of  Pepperologie a week ago. Pepperologie is a lifestyle study course hosted by the adorable Jessie from Style and Pepper

I felt so honored that Jessie asked me to be involved. It was so amazing working alongside her and other Phoenix female bloggers like Alexandra with, who talked about the in's and outs of assembling your own capsule wardrobe collection. My friend Lauren over at helped women create a custom work out plan, and shared some pretty amazing healthy swaps for the holidays. The amazing Summer with The Girls with Glasses showed women how to perfectly wrap presents and other fun tips, and the incredible host Jessie from Style and Pepper talked about ways to embrace your inner beauty.

My segment included easy holiday hair how-to alongside an interactive demo on how to use a french twist roll. Fun right!? It was so fun and I hope everyone that attended enjoyed it.

I used to be a hairstylist educator and its been so fun educating the everyday women like yourselves through my step by step tutorials and YouTube channel. I definitely hope I get the opportunity to do one of these events again.

Above are a few pictures from the event, and if you haven't checked out these amazing female bloggers, you definitely should because you are missing out.

And last but not least, I want to say thanks to all of the amazing sponsors for Jessie's Pepperologie event!

With few signs of the death of the mall, small retailers deserve our support

Small retailers are doing it tough and need more government support.

The rise in internet-based retailing has inevitably generated debate on the future of bricks-and-mortar shops, and the shopping centres that accommodate them.

Despite some pundits predicting the death of the mall, there’s no strong signs as yet of the “mall lifecycle” coming to an end.

In fact many domestic shopping centres, such as Melbourne’s Chadstone and Sydney’s Bondi Junction, continue to evolve through extensions or major revamps.

Despite tough times on the high street, developers here and overseas can be seen to be raising the game – and heightening the experience – for consumers, with a new generation of super-malls.

Westfield’s Stratford City development near London, for example, proves that an alluring mix of brands, services, entertainment and promotion, housed within prestige development still holds great attraction for customers.

In Australia, a recent Productivity Commission report highlighted the challenges for retailers and centre operators in negotiating leasing arrangements. In particular, suggested that smaller retailers can experience difficulties in terms of establishing presence within established shopping centres.

“While it is possible for these retailers to vote with their feet and move to shopping strips or other locations, the alternatives sites are not always commercially attractive,” the report said.

It’s important in the current challenging retail climate not to overlook the significance of – or the challenges faced by – these smaller retailers.

Local retail plays an important role in creating differentiation and local character in what can be sometimes perceived as a retail “bland-scape”.

Key industry groups, such the Australian Retailers Association do a great job in championing small and independent retailers. Yet, a greater understanding of the challenges faced by this diverse sector is both essential and timely.

I recently attended a local chamber of commerce retail event in regional Victoria, and presented to an audience of local retail owner-operators.

Despite the presence of a mid-sized shopping centre near to the main strip, the high street traders were, overall, resilient and optimistic. They were confident in the point of differentiation that their retail mix offered, although they had experienced the consequences of the slowdown in consumer spending.

But when asked about their own professional competence and development, only a scant few could claim to have received any specific training or education in relation to merchandise management, pricing, promotion or marketing – the cornerstones of effective retailing.

A central marketing and promotion fund for the location had only very recently been approved, following some resistance from local business owners.

I wonder how much more effective and successful they could be with smarter, localised “push and pull” marketing strategies, and with the technical expertise and tools to leverage profitability within their individual businesses.

It’s great to see some active debate on these issues, with contributions being sought for the Small Business Victoria discussion paper which canvasses policy, program and service initiatives and seeks feedback on the issues and challenges facing this sector.

In the same way that shopping centres leverage economies of scale in terms of visitation, marketing, multi-channel promotion, branding and tenant education, it’s important that our other shopping centres – the strips, town centres and rural and regional destinations – don’t get left behind in the race for space or the move online.

It’s vital, therefore, that governments and associations continue to facilitate this discourse, and foster collaboration, learning and evolution to preserve, promote and grow local retail competence.

2 Singaporean Men Created A Fuss In A Taxi And Even Smoked In The Vehicle!!! - The Coverage

2 Singaporean Men Created A Fuss In A Taxi And Even Smoked In The Vehicle!!!

SINGAPORE: On 17th December, around 3 in the morning, a taxi driver was stopped by a man wearing a blue striped shirt who suddenly dashed out to the road beside South Beach Tower “popular party spot”.

Two guys and a lady rushed into the taxi, however, due to change of shifts, the taxi driver was not heading to their desired destination, Redhill.

Probably drunk to their bones, the two men refused to get off the ride and even started smoking inside.

The taxi driver said:

“A group of two guys and one lady then hopped into my taxi. They refused to get out of my taxi despite me repeatedly telling them I was not heading towards their direction due to shift change.

“I had to shut my engine and get out to avoid any further aggression or prevent any physical attack as most experienced drivers would do.

“Shortly after, as seen in the video, the two man started smoking in the cab in a disdainful manner. The man in blue got out of the cab first while the other at the back seat put out his cigarette ashes in the taxi, refused to get out and invoked the call for police.”

Though they were the ones who challenged the taxi guy to call up the police, once he did as they requested they all fled the scene before the authorities could show up.

It is unfortunate as he was told by the officers that there were no criminal offences and they would not take any action. Well, I personally think it’s about time to have such laws for hooligans to teach them a thing or two.

Taxi drivers are humans too you know! Their safety and well-being should also be taken into consideration.

And apparently during all the hoo-haa, the lady friend had actually called an Uber ride, hopefully, that Uber driver was not harassed too!

Basic Rules:

Derogatory remarks about: race, religion, gender, sexual preference, sexual orientation, gender identity, etc. whether it be in RP, on the forums, etc. is not allowed.

Role-playing sexual assault (non-consensual touching, rape, etc.) is not allowed.

No Metagaming - Metagaming is defined as: Using external factors, information, or knowledge your character would not be able to obtain through normal means of gameplay. ‘Stream sniping’ is also not allowed; you cannot be in someone’s stream while you and that person are on the server.

No recorded footage of any kind is to be used in-character unless approved by an admin.  LEO are the only players that have the ability to use body and dash cam footage in-character.

No Power gaming - Power gaming is defined as: Using mechanics or roleplaying mechanics that do not exist. This includes using third party software or hardware (monitor) to draw a crosshair or dot on your screen.

No RDM. Both parties need to know the justified reason for the deadly action that is about to/may occur.  Engagement between parties prior to firing is required.

Do not use macros to farm jobs and do not AFK jobs that utilize a timed payout system.

Do not exploit any bug or glitch.  If you are found to be abusing a bug to your advantage your access to the server will be terminated.

Combat logging is prohibited. This includes using /respawn while involved in an RP situation. Logging out of the server to avoid incarceration, or an RP situation is not allowed. If you disconnect unintentionally during a RP situation, do your best to get back to that circumstance and continue the RP. This includes medical situations.

There will be no acceptance of real money in exchange for in game advantages or actions.

Characters must be 18+ only. This is a mature server, while there will be no ERP, there are adult themes present and adult language used.

Torture is a sensitive subject and therefore approval from the victim must be obtained beforehand.

Only the person playing the character can decide if they wish to perma. You can not force anyone into killing off their character.  The same goes for torture and/or mutilation - only the victim can decide the lasting effects, if any.

As we realize this server is featured predominantly on Twitch and Youtube, we do ask that all players refrain from talking about other streamers and community members on stream. We want to promote a positive environment within the server as well as out of it.  If this rule is repeatedly broken, you will no longer be welcome to play on the server.

In-Game Rules:

Entering the military base is strictly prohibited.

Stealing military vehicles is prohibited, including but not limited to: tanks, fighter jets, infantry transport vehicles, UAZ’s, military fuel tankers, cargobobs, and armed military helicopters.

Entering the Mission Row Police Department ‘detention area’ is prohibited without police approval.

Entering Boilingbroke Penitentiary without being sentenced is strictly prohibited with the exception of LEOs, EMS, Lawyers and Therapists.

If there are no police online, player to player crimes, such as kidnapping, robbery, etc., should not be abused. An example of this would be going on a ‘strong arm’ robbery spree with no LEOs online.

Cop baiting is not allowed. DO NOT intentionally bait police into chasing you for a high speed chase or bait them into an ambush situation.

If you are using any form of communication outside of game mechanics (Discord, Teamspeak, 3-way calling) you need to double bind your push to talk key.  Anything you say via 3rd party communication program needs to be transmitted in-game.

All out of character issues that occur such as rule breaks, drama or anything that is out of line needs to be brought up on the forums in the complaint section or to a staff member as soon as possible. If you are in an active situation, let the rp scenario continue then report it later on.

The help chat (/ooc) is for help only; no social chat, no calling other players out. It is considered out of character and using information from it is considered ‘Meta-gaming’.

/me command must be used for roleplay purposes and the way game mechanics are. This command can also be used to express something that cannot be said through words like showing facial expressions, actions that don’t have an emote, or details of a situation that would otherwise be unable for players to detect.

Full-Length UK Trailer For Tom Hooper’s ‘Les Miserables’

Written by on November 8, 2012

Anyone coming off a Best Picture win will certainly have high expectations for their follow-up, but as The King’s Speech director Tom Hooper takes on a classic, it’s safe to say he’s got his work cut out for him. Adapting Victor Hugo‘s classic novel in musical form, Universal is aiming for Les Miserables to be on of December’s major event and after a teaser, a new full-length trailer surely sells it.

Coming from the UK, this trailer expands further than just Anne Hathaway belting it out, as co-stars Russell Crowe and Hugh Jackman also get a chance in the spotlight, along with some of the supporting cast. Check it out below for the film also starring Amanda Seyfried, Eddie Redmayne, Aaron Tveit, Samantha Barks, Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen.

Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, Les Miserables tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption–a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit. Jackman plays ex-prisoner Jean Valjean, hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman Javert (Crowe) after he breaks parole. When Valjean agrees to care for factory worker Fantine’s (Hathaway) young daughter, Cosette, their lives change forever.

Les Miserables arrives Christmas Day.

Why it’s Important to Stick to a Set of Rules when Trading Forex

Why it's Important to Stick to a Set of Rules when Trading Forex

In this video:

00:50   Writing down a set of rules and sticking to them
02:35   An experience that I’m currently enjoying
03:25   “Life Advantages” in Forex Trading

The Importance of Setting a List of Rules in Forex Trading.

Sticking to a set of rules would definitely help you to become a formal profitable Forex trader. Let’s talk about that right now.

Hi Forex traders it’s Andrew Mitchem from The Forex Trading Coach and today is Friday, the 15th of August and I want to talk about the importance of setting yourself a list of rules.

You see trading obviously is such an emotional business. We’re trading with real money, you’re making money, you’re losing money, you’re making it again and it definitely affects the way that you feel and emotions can become such a big part of your trading. It’s very important to try and keep that under control.

There are many ways to go about that. I use low risk per trade and I’ve talked about that many times on these videos and podcasts. But also today I want to talk about writing down a set of rules and sticking to them but they need to be set of rules that work for you. Because when you have a set of rules, it may be an entry rules setup, it may be an exit rule decision; whatever it might you’ve got to be able to be comfortable with that and to stick with it.

You know we have rules as guidelines. It helps us in making stupid decisions, emotional decisions, it takes as much of the emotion away from our trading as possible. So I want you to have a think about that and set a group of rules and list of rules, pin it on the wall next to your computer,  whatever it might be and go through that list of rules every time you’re thinking about taking a new trade. Do it every day before you start to take trades.

  • Analyze that market

  • What are you looking for?

  • What setups are you looking for?

  • Are you looking at trading with the daily strength?

  • Are you looking at reversal trades?

  • What percentage of your account are you looking at risking per trade?

  • How many trades would you have open at once?

If you saw a really good setup on let’s say the Euro/U.S. Dollar (EUR/USD) to sell it and you had a setup on the daily chart, the 4-hourly chart, the 1-hourly chart and then the 15-minute chart comes along, show us a good setup.

Are you going to take that where it might be your 4th or 5th trade on the same pair and the same direction?

You might do it. If that’s your rules then go for it but you need to have that written and down in advance.

What happens if you get really close to your profit target?

Are you the sort of person that gets a bit itchy and watch the start/closing part of your trades?

Do you like to move your stops to break-even?

You know are you sitting there staring at your charts you’d say, “No, I’ve got my profit target for a reason. I’m going to walk away and leave it.” What is it that suits you? So have that set of rules.

Now, to bring that back to an experience that I’m currently enjoying is, as you probably know I’m learning to fly a helicopter right now and about an hour ago I’ve just returned from a flight. The same thing applies in helicopter flying; I have a set of rules:

  • I take off at the right speed

  • I go at the right height

  • I have the right pressure on the engine

  •  I have  the right forward momentum

  • I have the rotors going at the right speed

Whatever it might be there are set of rules for a reason. When I’m come in to land, I come in to land at a certain angle. I have radio calls for a reason. It’s all to do with safety and rules. And so the difference is:

  • In helicopters – if you get it wrong you might not get another chance.

  • In Forex Trading – you can get it wrong and have another chance, another trade.  You might even blow your account but at least you can have another go.

So Forex Trading does have some “life advantages”.

Now talking of sticking to the rules I want to share with you a text here and I’ll just quickly find that a client of mine sent through to me last weekend. Here it is. It’s from Bruce. Bruce said:

Hi Andrew I had an 8% return this week on my live account with 15 out of 16 wins. 0.5% risks, each trade (too bad it couldn’t happen each week). Have a great weekend! Bruce – from down in Christchurch in the South Island

So thanks for sending that through, Bruce. It just goes to show what can be achieved when you stick to the rules. Now like Bruce has said to me many times before he’s not stuck to the rules, he had loosing weeks obviously like we all do but this time, well, last week he stuck to the rules, made a great return and it just shows what can be achieved when you apply those rules. Have them written for a reason and apply them.

The other thing I want to talk about my own trading this week. It’s been a lot slower week this week in terms of less market movements. I’m up 1.2% for the week so far so still okay, still reasonably good but not, certainly not like Bruce’s 8% last week. But it’s still a reasonable return for the week.

Lastly if you have any topics, any questions that you would like me to discuss on these weekly videos and podcasts please do email me [email protected] –  Send through anything you’d like me to talk about – any problems that you’re having with your trading, good things, bad things whatever it might be, any questions about either the way I trade or how I can help you. Please do send through those questions and I’ll do my best to answer them in future weeks for you.

So that’s it for this week. Have yourself a fantastic weekend and I look forward to talking to you this time next week.

Bye for now.

Ulster and Ireland’s Eliza Downey bagged a brace of tries as Ireland finished of their Women’s World Cup Campaign with an emphatic 32 – 8 win over Scotland to claim 7th place in the World standings.

It was a pleasing end to the tournament for a much improved Ireland side who came close to qualifying for the top four play-off’s only losing out on points difference and, bar a disappointing reversal to the USA, the squad and management will be pleased with the overall performance.

We’ve stacks of photo’s from today’s game and post match interviews with Eliza and Lauren Day which we’ll post to their blog in the next few days.

  1. Congratulations to all the Irish Team on a tremendous world cup, delighted to hear you scored your 2nd and 3rd try against Scotland. Party hard tonight girls you all deserve a big celebration.

  2. Well done eliza a great finish to your first world cup. What a super experience for you and all the team.You are all a credit to your country,clubs and families. YOU’LL be singing tonight!!!!!!
