Ideas for Group Discussions
Those who read a great deal of popular thrillers are likely to enjoy Snake Eyes and groups can be encouraged to draw on their expertise to assess the value of this genre and to compare Oates's novel to others they have read. They could measure Oates against the standard for these novels to see whether or not she surpasses that standard.
1. How terrifying is this novel? Can you describe in what ways it is terrifying?
2. What other images of the snake do you find besides on Lee Roy's arm? How does the image connect to the idea of evil? Who is evil? How do people become evil?
3. How well does Oates capture Michael's gradual breakdown?
4. Is Michael's revenge against Lee Roy justified? Would you call him a murderer?
5. Was Michael responsible for his twin's death? Why does Oates make him a twin? What does the fact of Michael's twinness tell us about his sons?
6. Why does Oates have Michael find the quote from The Book of Matthew about an "eye for an eye'"?
7. What kind of a mother is Mrs.
O'Meara? What kind of a father is Michael?
8. What kind of a marriage do the O'Mearas have?
9. Why does Oates make Janet O'Meara a television personality?
10. Besides the twins and the image of the snake eyes, what other images of the double do you find in the novel? Why is Oates so fascinated with the double?

Techniques / Literary Precedents
Given her grounding in realistic fiction and her fascination with the obsessed or disintegrating mind, it is quite in keeping with her work that Oates has chosen to write a series of thrillers. She wants these to be popular novels, thus she writes linear, suspenseful plots that build tension by slowly increasing the level of madness in the characters. Precedents for Oates's techniques include Edgar Allan Poe's madmen in stories like "The Tell-Tale Heart" (1843), "The Black Cat" (1843), and "The Cask of Amontillado" (1846), and Henry James's invaded children in "The Turn of the Screw" (1898). Oates also draws on various religious and cultural beliefs in such images as twins, cats, and snakes and in concepts embodied in such abstractions as the nemesis and the soul.
(The entire section is 123 words.)
Snake Eyes and the three other novels Oates has written under the pseudonym Rosamond Smith can all be classified as thrillers. What distinguishes them from the thrillers of other novelists is their insistence on the idea of the double. Oates may be drawing on the work of Julian Jaynes, her colleague at Princeton, whose book The Origins of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind argues that the human mind once consisted of two parts, the speaking part and the hearing part. The mind, in other words, evolved from a split or double brain, with one part having an authoritative, commanding function and the other part an obeying function. Jaynes suggests that the schizophrenic brain may still be divided this way and Oates writes enough passages in each of these thrillers to suggest that she is using this theory to develop her artistic portrayal of the psychopathic mind.
Like Snake Eyes, Lives of the Twins, Soul/Mate, and Nemesis all use images of doubles and of commanding voices. Twins appear in Lives of the Twins, Nemesis, and Snake Eyes; the title Soul/Mate captures the idea of the double; images get doubled in tortoise shell cats, which have an unborn twin integrated in their genes (Lives of the Twins); the minds of characters retreat from themselves into an imagined Blue Room (Soul/Mate); and fugue-states provide an impulse to murder (Nemesis). These are terrifying novels...

The never-ending battle to keep drugs from flowing in
In its March 29 access response, the Ministry of Corrections and Policing confirmed two overdose deaths involving inmates between 2012 and 2018. There has not been a confirmed overdose death since the beginning of 2019, according to the ministry.
The ministry also provided Postmedia with records of contraband seizures at its four adult facilities. In the 2018 records, each instance in which a seizure occurred, the substance or substances seized and the date of the seizure were included. For the purposes of comparison, each individual entry was counted as a seizure.
At the Regina Correctional Centre in 2018, there were 305 seizures — an average of almost one per day. At Prince Albert Correctional Centre in 2018, there were 139 seizures, while there were 18 at Pine Grove Correctional Centre. At Saskatoon Correctional Centre, there were 14 seizures — down roughly 94 per cent from the 240 seizures two years earlier.
Only the Regina jail features a dedicated substance abuse treatment unit, which launched in 2008 as a partnership between the jail and the Regina Qu’Appelle Health Region. The unit works with a maximum 20 inmates at a time for five weeks.
A study published in the Journal of Community Safety and Well-Being in 2017 analyzed seven years of data compiled from inmates who went through the unit’s treatment program. The study found those inmates had substantially lower rates of recidivism and re-contact with the system than people who would be eligible for the program but didn’t take part. Program participants had a nine-per-cent lower rate of re-contact at six months, 11.7 per cent lower at 12 months and nearly six per cent lower at two years.
Drew Wilby, the assistant deputy minister, community engagement within the Ministry of Justice and Ministry of Corrections and Policing, said the evaluation showed the unit has achieved “significant” and “successful” results. He said that as part of this year’s budget and the gang violence reduction strategy, the province is planning to expand the program to Pine Grove Correctional Centre by the end of the fiscal year and then to other facilities.
The ministry also has contracts with the Saskatchewan Health Authority to provide addictions services at its youth and adult facilities, including the Saskatchewan Hospital in North Battleford, where treatment beds are available, Wilby noted.
A challenge with inmates on remand is that corrections doesn’t know the length of their stay. The inmate could be at a jail for a day, a week or two years or even more, all depending on charges, court appearances and how the court process plays out. It’s different with a sentenced inmate, whom corrections can “wrap” addictions treatment programming around, Wilby said.
Wilby said people on remand have access to some addictions programming, though sometimes it’s dependent on availability of the program. Medical staff are trained to deal with anyone presenting symptoms of withdrawal and correctional officers are trained to recognize signs as well, he added. He said the province is piloting standardized withdrawal protocols at White Birch Remand Unit in Regina and Pine Grove Correctional Centre in Prince Albert, with plans to roll it out across its other facilities.
About 75 per cent of sentenced males and approximately 90 per cent of sentenced females present with some form of substance abuse — creating a huge challenge since there may be more than 2,000 inmates in the province at any given time.
Wilby said the ministry is considering a formal method of tracking suspected overdoses. Another approach taken by the ministry has been an increased focus on preventing drugs from getting into facilities.
The government is spending $1 million this year on an anti-contraband strategy that includes body scanners and specialized “drug toilets” that can clean drugs that were stored in a person’s anal cavity. A scanner was installed at Regina’s jail, and the facility will be the first to have a drug toilet. The ministry also has plans to install body scanners and drug toilets at the other adult facilities.
The list of ways drugs are brought into the jails is always growing. One popular method is through “suitcasing,” which involves packing plastic Kinder Surprise egg containers with drugs and inserting them into a transporter’s rectum. Provincial legislation does not allow for full body cavity searches but if correctional staff believe someone is hiding something in a body cavity, that person can be taken to a hospital where a doctor can perform a search (though that can happen only with a suspect’s permission).
Sometimes, someone may go so far as getting arrested for the express purpose of bringing in drugs to disperse among other inmates, Wilby said.
“When someone is caught bringing contraband into the facility, that’s a significant issue. And it’s a significant issue for our staff in particular,” he said.
“We have seen that where people have brought contraband in, they’ve taken it and they’ve died in our correctional system. So, we need to take that seriously and we need to ensure we have the proper structure and rules around that if someone is caught with contraband and they’re in their person.”

Today in this article you are going to learn how to use the Dax Robot software and how to start to make money with that software, let’s see.
So, what we did first? What I did is to deposit one thousand dollars on it, to give it a try, and basically because X profit requests to deposit a thousand dollars, we can look at the same robots and I am pretty sure that they actually tweaked something into the actual algorithm in order to like once a call, in order to have it fixed for XI or DM Forex because it’s different.
It is important that you know that it is a different type of trading technique, is not different strategies is a trading technique that you need to have for CFD that you do not have to have with binary options because, like you know, you have to have a stop loss, you have to have to take profit, so it is really complicated when it comes to Forex when you are coming from binary options.
So, basically what I did is to test right now X profit, I didn’t know how this robot works, but I was pretty sure that it was going to work the same way as min Book Pro and that it was going to take ten percent of my balance.
How much time can the robot be open?
Plus, it is more important that you know that the robot can be open for four days, not more than that, so I do not recommend you to have your robot open and then go to work or start your activities or anything like that simply because you have to have control of your trades.
What I did the Is that I logged into my account, and this is how the platform looks like:
Then I wait for a trade to be placed with X profit, then we can see the expiry price at the bottom of the platform, also we can see the take profit and the profit level, the order size, which says ten thousand.
The balance is actually moving: We are going to give it an opportunity to this software, if you see right now the balance is actually moving because of the trade is not in a winning position right now, but one of the things that I want to like point out it that you could actually close the position once you are in a winning pace and then you definitely are going to be able to like take profit before the expiry time like you do with binary options right, which is something really good, so after that I waited and see either if it closes take profit or stop loss, this is what has happened so far.
I lost a trade, but then that trade was actually placed, it was a call, it was a buy and I closed it, I could wait a little bit more before closing it, but I really wanted to try what was like to take the profit and the stop loss, and after that I made one dollar, I could have made more if I closed it at the right time.
This is about how the Dax Robot works:Plus, it is important for you to know that this is not a session about how to try to make money, basically what I want to show you is how the Dax Robot software works and how you can close the positions before they expired, even if you see that you are losing too much, you can actually close it but you are never going to lose more than 10 percent of your investment, so the maximum that you can actually lose is like one hundred dollars, and the maximum you can make is one hundred dollars as well out of my $1,000 dollars that I invested, if you have three hundred dollars is going to be fifty, and so on, so I definitely like this software and I like the fact that you can actually control the stop loss and take profit, and I love the way that you can actually close the trades before they expire, which makes this software a great software who invest with it, I am definitely going to start using it more.
In this article we’re going to talk about the Binary Living Way channel video, where they talk about five different things that you should know about the withdrawal process before get into any broker, that video would answer the most common questions about withdrawals, so, let’s start.
1. The broker doesn’t want to pay you: we all know how binary options work, so when we start making money, the broker is losing money as well, however, if they are making money from other people that is losing money, but you are making money so they are recovering it in there.
So, what will happen if in one week, 80% of the people trading with the platform to make money? They’re actually in a balance with the company, so when you come and request the withdrawal is like you are asking them to give their money, so no broker wants to give it to you, they have their financial team, and all, so depending on what broker you are working with you will not have any problem with it, such as IQ options, 24 options, they’ll give you the withdrawal with no questions asked, even BinaryMate used to have that issue but now is pretty fast when they want to give you withdrawals.
There are some brokers that are really small, we don’t know the names exactly, but it is important to know that they may have issues to give you the withdrawal, but that doesn’t mean that you aren’t going to get your money, because we're going to tell you how you can push them to receive your money, and also it’s important to know that this kind of problem is more common when is a small broker.
2. Bonus requirements: if you take a bonus, you can just forget about a fast withdrawal, you won’t need a trade from 20 to 50 times the amount you invested, so, if you had one hundred dollar investment, you’ll have to have five thousand dollars, like a turnover.
This is because if you place ten trades today of ten dollars is a hundred dollars, maybe you’re asking, you how much time it will take you to get to the fifteen thousand dollars, it’s a lot of time, also is important that you know that not all of the brokers offer you a bonus now because of the regulations, the regular brokers aren’t offering you a bonus but actually there are other brokers that offer you a bonus, and you need to be away from it and just avoid them.
If you want to take them, make sure that they pass all the requirements, because there is a lot of people that take bonuses, that trade much and then they get the money plus the bonus, which is really good because is depending on your level of experience and on your level of trading knowledge that you can do that, but if you are a beginner and if you don’t know much about the bonuses I recommend you to stay away from it immediately.
3. Required documents: this is about the documents that you need to send, like your profile identity, basically the problem with this topic is that sometimes a lot of people says that the broker is a scam because they aren’t giving them their money and they say that their withdrawal has been canceled and the question to ask them is, did you send the documentation? And sometimes they don’t answer back because that was exactly what they forgot to do.
So, you need to stay sure you send the documentation that is required as soon as you make your account, you need to send your documentation clear to avoid issues in the future, and if they disapprove it just don’t let it like for some other day, resend the paperwork, contact them son you can have your account verified to avoid this issue and to be able to get your money in the future.

4. The difference between a scam and a delay on a withdrawal: when you are going to accuse a broker for be a scam they can actually take legal action on you if you don’t have enough proofs about what are you saying, so before knowing if it’s a scam or a delay you need to know if that never give any withdrawal to anyone in the world, then it’s a scam, but if they have given at least one withdrawal it’s just a delay, and you need to know how to find that.
Because the problem when we withdrawal the money is that we need the money right now, but when we have a delay there are some excuses like the salesperson hasn’t approved it yet, or we haven’t received the approve from the finance department, so many excuses that the brokers are going to give you, is just like to delay the process and maybe they are waiting to recover it in the next week so they can pay you money, but the problem is that lot of people find this as a scam but it is not, you have to remember that the broker doesn’t want to pay your money.
Basically, what you need to do is to complete with all the requirements such the paper works and minimal trades, and get the approve from the salesperson directly and if they are taking so much time you can push the, the way to push them is not to tell them that they're a scam, it’s just to say them the problem.
So, it’s important that you understand that brokers don’t want to get in any trouble with any trader because they don’t know who is in the other side, they don’t know if you have a website, a blog or a YouTube channel where you can expose them to thousands of people, because if you do that they’re going to lose a lot of opportunities to work with other traders, so what they’re going to tell you is here is your money back, they prefer to give you a few thousand dollars instead of losing a bunch of thousand dollars.
Plus, you need to be careful when you trade with brokers and if a problem happens to you, in the Binary Living Way channel they can help you to expose that brokers because they have done that before, because when they talked with the brokers to get these people money back, they gave the money back because they know the people behind the Binary Living Way channel and they know that they can affect their reputation and even when these people get the money back they expose them as a not trustworthy broker.
5. The bigger the amount is, the longer time it will take: this doesn’t happened with all the brokers, like IQ options, Binary mode, or 24 options, they don’t have this issue, they just give it the money back, but they handle millions of dollars daily so they don’t have a problem if you withdraw ten thousand dollars or if you withdraw one thousand dollars they don’t see it, they see withdrawals over one hundred thousand dollars and then they freak out.
But, you need to understand that if you trade for three months and then you get like one hundred from ten thousand dollars and you want to withdraw those ten thousand dollars is going to take a while, because they’re going to put bunches of excuses, like documentation, and all of that, they’re going to tell you that to delay the process and maybe to make you change your mind and to allow you to keep on trading.
The recommendation is that you have to be smart, if you don’t want to have issues with withdrawals try to withdraw small amounts, if you deposit one hundred dollars just withdraw two thousand dollars.
You need to know that these is a recommendationbased on the people who is behind the Binary Living Way channel, is not a financial advice, it’s just a recommendation, also if you have any question you just need to write them on their email and they’re going to help you.
Look, if you are looking to be successful, rich, wealth, financially free, work from home, millionaire or whatever target you have, it involves sacrifice. Why do I say that? Because I receive this a lot: "Sunday is the day I take off"
Fine! I actually do it too! I don't answer as many emails on Sundays as I do during the week days. But, do I just avoid all type of work? Hell no!
Education is also part of my job!
You probably, or most likely do something to learn something new everyday. This includes trading, money management, market analysis or anything else. From Monday to Friday you are dedicated to your learning process. The real question is: What happens during the weekend, when the markets are closed? Are you just forgetting about everything you learn? Well, you shouldn't.
Sundays are the perfect day to LEARN! Trust me, it is way harder to learn while you are trading. Reading books, watching videos and practicing are the best ways to become a successful trader. During the week days, probably watching videos and trading will be the best alternatives to improve your trading skills. Nevertheless, during the weekend, is the perfect time to put a book in the middle of your learning process.
There are many books you can read that will help you become a better trader. In fact, I posted a video about the books I read a long time ago. The video is below.
Those are not the only books in the world, and probably not the best ones. The point here is to keep that learning habbit alive. You don't like reading? Fine, watch more videos! The target is to keep the brain awake during the week.
Believe me, if you do this, your main and skills will be so much hungry, clever and ready than ever on Mondays, when the time to make money is here. See you on the next one!
What the what?! Yes, I have made $20k with this simple and free software. Is it a scam? Please, you only have to see my numbers and my videos to judge that...
I did receive many threats from scammers saying I needed to stop promoting Maximus CryptoBot or I would be blacklisted. Sadly for them, I found out that they were promoting scams like Option Robot, The Bitcoin Code, The Ethereum Code, 30k in a week or even Blazing Trader 2,018. All of those SCAMS were exposed on this website, and let's face it, that must have hurt them.
Anyways, the porpuse of this blog is to let you know how I did it, and more importantly, how you can do it too. I know there are many users making money with Maximus CryptoBot, and even Maximus Edge AutoBot, which is the first and original version of Maximus. But the truth is that you could be making way more money by now. Remember that the software works 24 hours a day, so as long as you avoid news, you can easily be placing 50 trades a day...
HOLD ON! I didn't say you should be placing 50 trades a day. I said you COULD, but I wouldn't. This is actually one of the main secrets of my success. Believe me, I used to place 100 trades in one single day when I first started trading, but that is so not the way to go. How many do I recommend? It may very depending on the temper of each trader, but I would say 3 - 5 a day. You could do more, but then your emotions come into place.
The majority of emails I get everyday are from beginners, so a beginner should never place more than 5 trades, period. If you do have some experience, you can do more, but always remember that the main target is to be profitable. If you are profitable placing 10 trades a day, then kudos on you and keep it up. However, if you are losing money with 5 trades, because the first 3 trades were wins and the last 2 were losses, then we have a problem.
My best advice is the following: If you lost money with 5 trades today, don't try to recover it today, please. Tomorrow is a new day, and the market will there. It's not the end of the world, it is just a bump on the road. So if you are OTM today, close the windows, grab a beer, a cigarrette, a book or anything that relaxes you, and enjoy it. Go to bed if it is night time, watch a movie and forget about today.
You have to be optimistic about the future, always. If you are negative, you will only attract negative results. Is that what you want? I don't think so...
For now, this is your only task: Regardless if you won or lost money today, look the future with a positive mind. Weekend is coming and your friends and family need to spend time with you, not the trader, but the real YOU. We will talk on Monday and we will see what is your next task. These blogs, slowly, will make you a better trader, trust me.
We know Maximus CryptoBot is a Crypto Trading Software that provides with up to 93% accurate signals. We also know that it is 100% FREE. But, is there more to know? Yes there is. In this article, I will cover the important information that is not covered in all of my videos and that I know that are very important for you and for everyone. You can join Maximus CryptoBot HERE.
The Maximus CryptoBot's story is quite obvious, for us that already know the roots of the system. However, if you are new at trading, or you never heard of the "parent" company of this software, you are about to know the truth. Maximus Edge AutoBot is the original version of the Maximus CryptoBot. It was launched in 2,017 and it quickly became the best Binary Options autotrader in the world. Yes, as you can see, it was a BINARY OPTIONS SOFTWARE. Sadly, Binary Options is fading slowly, which is why we are all trading Crypto Currencies now. Maximus CryptoBot was designed specifically to stay updated with the new trading world. Nevertheless, they never forgot their roots. The brand new software comes with both Forex Pairs, as well with Crypto Currency pairs to trade.
Wait a minute! What? Have you ever seen a software that does that? Absolutely not. Maximus CryptoBot is the first software that has the courage, the willingness and the capacity to offer a feature like this. You are probably wondering how the hell is this possible! I asked myself too. But the answer will take us to the second point of "What you need to know about Maximus CryptoBot".
The first version of Maximus, Maximus Edge AutoBot, was created with the following indicators combined:
The five of them are really popular, profitable and accurate. I am pretty sure they tested these 5 indicators with Maximus CryptoBot, and for some reason they decided to change 2: RSI and CCI. They were replaced with Finobacci and EMA. The formula of these 5 indicators combined is what makes Maximus CryptoBot to be so accurate, according to the creators. What we really have to focus on, is that, just as in 2,017, we are dealing with people that know what they are doing. We are talking to real traders. The scams that are out there talk about how to become rich and how their "magic software" will make them rich. However, they never mention anything about the trading strategy. That is one of the most powerful reasons to trust Maximus CryptoBot.
3. The Platform
The beauty of Maximus Edge AutoBot was the simplicity of its process to trade. This time, Maximus CryptoBot offers the same simple trading platform, with just a couple of clicks needed to make money. In fact, since it is not 100% automated, Maximus CryptoBot gives us the opportunity to choose what trades to take and which ones to ignore. It is 100% up to us. That my dear reader, is called POWER!
I hope this article helped you get to know a little better the brand-new and BEST trading software of 2,018. You can JOIN HERE and begin the journey to the profits you've been wanting for years now. Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube Channel to watch all of my live sessions! Thank you for reading.
If you are in the US or in Canada, you should read this entire article. Even though it has been frustrating during the last year or so, watching how all trading opportunities have been blocked for you, there are really good opportunities to make money from home. In this article, I will talk to you about one. First of all, welcome to the “US and Canada – Making Money Opportunity” series. I took the time to make a deep investigation of several making-money opportunities online in order to help you get on your feet. Many of these programs have been very popular online, and some of them are having a great initial success. I recommend you to read them with an open mind.
The best thing about these programs is that they are extremely cheap, so there is no need to choose one and stick to it, as you can try more than one. Remember how hard it has been to watch other people making money online, while you are sitting on a side without the opportunity to profit like them. Now you will have the opportunity.
WHAT IS ACCELERATED INCOME?
Accelerated Income is an Online Marketing program that will teach you how to make money from the comfort of your home. Working from home is not that complicated nowadays. You can be a freelancer, a graphic designer, etc. But, how much money can you really make with those types of jobs? Not much and we all know it. Making $5,000 on a weekly basis is not far from reality now. That is over $800/day. Accelerated Income is, like I mentioned, an Online marketing training. If you are not familiar with Online Marketing, you don’t have to really worry, since Accelerated Income is a training that covers all levels of knowledge.
YOU HATE ONLINE MARKETING?
Many people might be closing this window now that I said this is about Online Marketing. Many people think Online Marketing is like Network Marketing, which is a good system, but requires a lot of work from our end to build our network, and start making a decent income. Accelerated Income is not about that. With Online Marketing, the better you do, the more money you make, and the less time you have to invest. The best thing about Online Marketing is not having a schedule to control our lives. You can either work all day, part time, nigh time or even from your bed with a laptop. Isn’t that the life you wanted to achieve when you started trading Binary Options?
It is a fact that we can make thousands of dollars with Binary Options in one day. With Online Marketing might take some time for you to make thousands of dollars in one day, but the difference is that you will build up a steady high-income. Both options are great ways to make money from home. I know Binary Options was your priority, but since it is not available for you, wouldn’t you give an opportunity to another billionaire industry to help you build the life you wanted?
My personal recommendation is this: Accelerated Income is only $27, and will give you the training you need to start making money online. This is as low as one single trade in Binary Options. You can visit their website here, and you will be more than happy, I guarantee it to you. Let us know your feedback as well on the comments to help other visitors to get an idea of this great program. If you are not in the US or Canada, and you want to try the Accelerated Income program, you can click on the image above and see if your country is accepted. If not, then go to our Trusted Systems, as you will find a good software to make money there. Thank you for reading.
Crypto Point is a shady SCAM. They are a “the latest and most cutting-edge service delivering trading in crypto currencies”, according to their website. Sadly, the truth is that they are another Crypto Trading FRAUD, such as many that we have blacklisted on this website. In this article we will review why we are sure this is not a trusted robot, and why you should stay away from them. If you are really interested in a Crypto Trading Software, go to our Trusted Systems section and you will find a variety of options to make money online, in a safe way. Let’s get to the review.
What is the Crypto Point SCAM?
They were recently launched, with the promise to make us money with their revolutionary app. Although this software is not viral, there are many novice traders falling into their trap. The reason why, is because the Crypto Point SCAM is offering us to do a market analysis, and trade on our behalf using their “perfect” algorithm, which in reality, is nothing but a gambling system that will make us lose money. The most “attractive” feature of their site, is the lack of information, which leads many newbie traders to “try it out”. We decided to do a research and find out if they are indeed legit, but, unfortunately for them, they are not.
What brokers do they work with?
That is in fact the biggest concern we had when registering with the Crypto Point SCAM; we did not get any information as to whom will we be working with. Why? What are they trying to hide? We are not sure, but the only option we had was to deposit money. The Crypto Point SCAM failed to be transparent, as they are hiding the broker we get assigned. It can be either a blacklisted broker, or no broker at all. We are very confused as to what type of fraudulent scheme is this, but we decided to continue looking for signs that would lead us to determine whether if they are a scam or not.
Even though we have access to the Trade room, we don’t completely understand how does the Crypto Point SCAM work in regards to brokers. We assume that the software itself will manage the funds of the clients, but, wouldn’t that be very dangerous for us as traders? The same person that handles the charts and trades handles our money? This looks really bad to us.
Who should we trust?
We have uploaded many videos and articles about trusted auto traders that might be of your interest, such as BitBubble Tech, Maximus Edge or Crypto Advantage. We recommend you to use any of those, since they have been tested and they have proven the accuracy of their signals. Something shady, like the Crypto Point SCAM will never bring anything good to our lives.

Yes, we have all seen a lot of videos about this auto trader, and hundreds of people are using it. The real question is: How are the overall results with this Binary Options software? I have made many videos about it, live sessions, withdrawals and more, but now it's time to put it all together. I am writing this article to have a full summary of my personal results. Let's start from scratch.
The Final Prize
Yes, the title of the video is right. I have reached $12,000 in my trading account. Wait, wait, what? Yes. $12K in my trading balance only using an auto trader. I have reached that in the past with manual trading, but never with an auto trader. On January 2nd I reached the 5 figures with Maximus Edge AutoBot. I didn't trade constantly everyday, but still, I was able to get a $15,000 PROFIT (including the previous withdrawals) in less than 3 months and a half.
Do you want to do that too? I am sure you do. Remember that the software is still 100% FREE and you can join using the link below. Do you want me to reach the $20K before my withdrawal? Comment below!
Is Crypto Trading the future? Should I buy Bitcoin and sit on my couch to see how my money grows? Should I stay away from it and never look back? Will USD and Euro disappear in a few years? Will Bitcoin reach $20,000 in 2,018? These are just a few of the dozens of questions I receive everyday. All of those questions are fair, reasonable, smart and appropriate. Bitcoin is now the most popular topic among online traders. Whether you are new or an experienced trader, you are, or should be interested on Bitcoin.
Is Bitcoin all? No. You should be reading about Ethereum, Litecoin, and many more. Crypto Currencies are now on the look of the richest people in the world, such as Carlos Slim, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, etc. It is completely normal to see big business owners interested on gold mines, just as crypto currencies. But, should we be interested too? Doesn't it take money to make money? How can I invest like they do? How can I buy one Bitcoin if it is now at $8,000? Is the opportunity gone for me?
No. As day traders, we have been given an opportunity to make money out of this new age, get benefits from the ones mining bitcoins and making the rich richier. We have a chance to be pioneers on a new era. That opportunity we had been waiting, where we would not have to put thousands of dollars to make a few cents, is finally here. This is the time to shine for those of use who don't care if the price goes down or up. Just as Robert Kiyosaki said: "Rich people makes money because the make money regardless if the markets are going up or down. In fact, rich people become even more wealthy when the maket crashes".
As day traders, we don't care if a price goes up like a skyrocket, or it falls down and crashes in hell. Binary Options, Forex and now Crypto Trading, are industries where we don't have to suffer by watching the market crashing. Instead, we can see how the markets crash, and we make up to 95% profit out of it. We don't live to see our money go away. We, as traders, have full control over our money.
Is Crypto Trading the future? Should I buy Bitcoin and sit on my couch to see how my money grows? Should I stay away from it and never look back? Will USD and Euro disappear in a few years? Will Bitcoin reach $20,000 in 2,018? Something to keep in mind, don't you think?
Many people ask me this question, and I always answer the same. TAI Robotic is my favorite Auto Trader so far, and yes, by far. It is not that I like money, but yeah, I love money. Don't get me wrong, because I am not greedy. But when it comes to buy nice clothing, cool cars, live in a beautiful house, eat what I want, when I want, and never look at the price of anything I buy, yes, I love that. TAI Robotic has impressed me with the tools and simplicity all combined. What surprised me the most is that they seemed to be dead, and yet they raised up and crashed the competition. This is what TAI Robotic has given me so far:
Would you not love a software that gives you this money?
Yes, TAI Robotic has given me pretty decent money. Plus...
...they haven't charged me a penny. They offered to be FREE and they have kept their promise in a very nice way. Last week I was disappointing, but it took them 3 days to shut my mouth and change my mindset once for all. TAI Robotic is...
...Yes, the best Auto Trader the Binary Options industry has. Would you hate it? Of course not....
...Do you love it? I do, and I will love it until money stops flowing...this could be your money too...

Food supplement of vitamin E, a fat-soluble vitamin, known as an antioxidant, which keeps cell membranes intact, preventing the oxidation of their fatty acids and protects against degenerative diseases and cardiovascular problems. This vitamin is also essential for the proper functioning of the nervous and immune systems. People with diets very low in fat, weight loss diets, intestinal malabsorption, or individuals exposed to pro-oxidant factors such as radiation, smoke, etc. require a supplemental intake of this vitamin. The recommended daily amount is 10mg daily for a healthy adult. Vitamin E is also a powerful antioxidant and therefore delays aging as it neutralizes the formation of free radicals, this effect is noticeable in body cells and especially in the skin. It also has a protective effect against environmental pollution and protects from the harmful action of the sun's rays.

This is a page of posts from a holiday my wife and I took in Oman, February 20 to March 3, 2019. This was organised for us by a company called Hud Hud Travels, who did an outstanding job of making sure that we had a fascinating itinerary, supported by brilliant staff and a great guide, in as much luxury as was possible under the circumstances (you’ll have to read on to find out more on that).
Oman is a fascinating country. The Times featured an interesting article about it whilst we were actually visiting. Since we were in the mountains and off the grid at that point, I didn’t read it until after I got back.

The British government is funding World Economic Forum projects pushing Africans to eat bugs, including school-age children, in widespread trials aimed at abolishing meat.
The United Kingdom Research and Innovation (UKRI) – a subsidiary of the country’s Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy – is responsible for funding the projects taking place in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Zimbabwe.

Thenationalpulse.com reports: With a roughly $320,000 grant from the aid office, researchers in Zimbabwe will be experimenting with using mopane worms in porridge served to children in schools. Poor children aged seven to 11 in the towns of Gwanda and Harare will be fed the concoction derived from the caterpillars, which researchers allege are high in vitamins and minerals.

Ultimately, a randomized trial will be carried out to compare if children consuming insects perform better in school than their counterparts.
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, researchers will use a roughly $55,000 grant to “promote the production of insects for human food and for use in the manufacture of animal feeds,” according to a synopsis from the Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office’s development tracker website. The funds are being provided by the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development (Cafod).
Among the insects being pushed for consumption are caterpillars, migratory locusts, and black soldier flies. The project, which began in March and will conclude in December, is a response to water shortages allegedly due to stress placed on the environment from animal farming.
It is unclear whether or not the conclusion from the work in Africa will be applied back in the United Kingdom, though, experts in the field interviewed by mainstream media outlets have claimed it is likely.
Dr. Sarah Beynon, for example, the founder of the Bug Farm in Pembrokeshire and an academic entomologist, claimed these aid projects were “a sure way to save lives and improve nutrition of the poorest people on planet Earth,” while speaking with The Guardian.
“We are also actively encouraging people in the developed world to include insects in their diets,” she later added.
“With a population that has an appetite set to far exceed the planetary limits, and with current agriculture decimating biodiversity and changing the climate, we have no option but to change how we produce and consume food … and our views on the topic too,” Dr. Benyon continued.
Similarly, a spokesperson from the UKRI admitted:
“We support specific research projects with funding, but we anticipate that the learnings and knowledge gleaned will benefit citizens around the world irrespective of their economic status. The protein and environmental benefits of consuming insects have been widely reported globally.”
The unearthed grant is the latest example of the environment and climate being used as an excuse to push radical changes to traditional diets and farming practices.

If there is one part of football that is consistently overlooked, it’s the defense. There are rarely huge headlines for sacks or forced fumbles, but the official addition of Canadian transfer Tavius Robinson to Ole Miss Football’s defense has potential to change that this season.
The SEC has never been accused of being an easy conference, and this year will be even more difficult. With a full season of only SEC conference games, the depth in training and health of players will be vital to the overall success of this team.
In a press conference on Sept. 1, head coach Lane Kiffin stressed the importance of making sure that all players are ready to play and confirmed that the team has had multiple players test positive for COVID-19 in the last two weeks . .
“We’ve got competition all over the place, and it’s like picking out of a hat every day. You don’t know who is going to be there,” Kiffin said. . “I get texts in the morning, these 3 people failed their COVID-19 tests. Here are some more in close contact. So it’s hard to even figure out who our first and second units are because it is changing so much.”
Kiffin did not disclose the total number of positive cases within the team.
The frustration of losing players isn’t limited to COVID-19 either. With the recent loss of expected NFL draft prospect Sam Williams, who was arrested on sexual battery charges in late July, there was a large spot to fill in the outside linebacker position. Thankfully for Kiffin and his defense, Tavius Robinson is able to fill those shoes. Over the weekend, the NCAA announced that Tavius Robinson, the six-eight, Canadian transfer would be granted immediate eligibility to play for the Rebels this fall.
“Oh man, we feel great,” defensive end Ryder Anderson said about newly added Robinson. “We’re going to go off this year. He already knows the playbook, so we’re off to the races.”
Out of all the positions on defense, the linebackers are by far the most experienced. With Jacquez Jones, Lakia Henry, Momo Sanogo and now Tavius Robinson leading the team, there is a lot of room for growth.
“This defense leans heavily on the linebackers. It needs to be a sound position, with a sound knowledge of the defense,” linebacker Mono Sanogo said about the depth of those veteran linebackers.
There are only a few weeks left until kickoff against a very solid Florida offense on Sept. 26. The ability Florida wide receivers have at making plays once they have the ball will definitely put the Rebels to work.

Why did you start out travelling?
There is a saying that Africa is in your bones, you can leave Africa, but Africa will never leave you' I think the same is for travel, once it gets in your blood it never leaves you. I have worked in travel for over twenty years in both the UK and SA curating customised private itineraries designed to make memories! With the onset of Covid, I spent a little time in health and fitness and also in digital marketing and e-commerce, however it wasn't long before I started dreaming of travel again. I found that nothing gave me the same sense of passion or drive, as planning travel and I guess the ultimate reward of sharing this big beautiful world we live in.
I realised the future of travel is changing, travel is becoming more intentional, there is a big move to responsible travel, eco-tourism and experiential travel. As a member of the LGBTQ community, it is shocking that to be LGBT is still criminalised in over 70 countries around the world. The world we live in is quite simply incredible, and the freedom to explore it, and be moved by it, should be shared by all. For LGBTQ this means the choice to not limit yourself, but it is important to know before you go. Understanding both the legal and the socially accepted norms within a destination you intend to visit will enable you to have a more fulfilling and rewarding stay.
We partner only with hotels and accommodations that pledge to make all guests feel welcomed and respected regardless of sexual or gender identity, the freedom to stay with comfort and authenticity, will always outrank a free breakfast, and allow for a smoother travel experience with less hurdles, awkwardness, or in more serious cases risk to personal safety. We work directly with the hotels and we operate with discretion allowing the traveller ultimate peace of mind and confidence.
We want to make sure that each and every traveller has the same opportunity to travel and we open the path to enable this.
It can be simple things such as requesting a double bed for a same-sex couple, – no more moving the beds together after checking in, and no more awkward questions at the front desk.
The choice of where to go and how to travel, depends on choice, as well as ease, comfort and knowledge. Example being trans may carry a whole heap of other considerations, as a trans woman transiting through the middle east, with a passport that indicates gender as male, what considerations do they need to adopt to avoid personal risk? How do they navigate safely, and with comfort the possible roadblocks to a stress free experience?
We aim to understand the individual, not all people are the same, and not all experiences are the same. We ask the right questions and with us you know you can be yourself and cover all concerns with openness.
How important is travelling intentionally to you and how does it work in the vision of Out Travelling?
Intentional travel is to immerse yourself within the destination and culture, in order to get the most out of your trip, for example if travelling to Thailand, make sure to eat the street food, it is amazing and the best tip is to check where the longest lines are...this way you know the food is fresh, cooked on demand and will not leave you with the wrong lasting memory a couple hours later.
Get to know the locals, learn a few words and explore the local hangouts. It means to make sure you understand and act within local respectful norms. This applies to all travellers, Example in Asia, one should never enter a temple without your shoulders and knees covered, in order to maintain respect. For LGBTQ+ we can take this a step further, if we are going to learn the local culture, we need to understand not only the legalities surrounding LGBTQ+ but also the socially accepted norms, surprisingly this can vary greatly with either progressive governments leading the way, or progressive social norms and slow governmental change. This can also not be generalised to a destination, for example to travel intentionally would be to get out of the big cities, into the rural towns and villages, to explore a different way of living and to bring home the gratitude of the experience. It is important to understand that social acceptance can be vastly different in metropolitan largely westernised cities, to the country where generations have lived without leaving. This guides your actions as LGBTQ+, put simply as an example, can you walk hand in hand down the street without fear of persecution or shaming?
Example, in Vietnam although same-sex activity has never been known to be criminalized in the countries history, the culture itself is very conservative and public displays of affection should be limited, regardless of sexuality. In Namibia, same sex activity is still a crime punishable by law and yet the socially accepted norms are vastly different and being LGBTQ is largely socially accepted.
What is your personal vision for the impact LGBTQ+ travel can make?
This is huge!!
it is important to us that we not only open a door to safe travel and safe spaces, but that we lead the way as a movement for change, acceptance and belonging. We have to understand that not everyone grows up in the same level of acceptance, and as LGBTQ+ we HAVE to keep travelling, we have to go to all countries, we have to be ourselves (with respect) and through continued conversation, as a global travelling community we each leave small impacts that continue to be breaking down paradigms and prior stereotyping or generalisations.
As a company it is also our duty to get involved, our vision is to work with a variety of NPO's across continents supporting specific LGBT needs. Example in SA there is one of the most progressive and free constitutions in the world and yet in certain communities, hate crimes can result in death and children are evicted from their homes for identifying as LGBTQ+. Across the continent of Africa, many LGBTQ face persecution and fear for their lives. We need to get involved, step up and speak up about enabling change.
We are creating community and have started on Facebook where we currently have over 7000 members in a private group (QueerAF) from across 122 different countries, who offer each other daily support, humour, and ongoing education...we would like to continue to expand this...to some degree to be LGBTQ+ means to have embraced yourself, to fought an inner battle and to have come out victorious to live life true to one self. A journey many never take. There is great power and vulnerability in this where as a community we can continue to be stronger together. Each and every person should be able to live as themselves and even if you are in a country where it is not safe to do so, we can at the very least create an environment through social media, that gives you this freedom. In future, we would like to expand on this vision of safe spaces, both virtual and physical.

It is hard to find a more caring and knowledgeable MD than Dr Verma. Dr Verma was my daughters physician when she was in Family Practice. And now several of my friends and family continue to see her in her integrative practice. If you want real down to earth advice to empower you to improve your health then, please, make an appointment with Dr Verma. You will be glad you did.
Love love LOVE Dr Verma! She takes the time to listen and really find the root cause of your issues. Our whole family now sees her and we could not be happier (or healthier)!
Dr Verma is uniquely committed to the ongoing well being of her patients. All medical practitioners are dedicated to addressing injury, illness and presenting conditions. For Dr Verma, identifying and treating existing challenges is just the beginning. She's passionate about her patients ongoing health and helping them maximize their quality of life. Her practice is friendly and cutting edge. Anyone who is interested in improved health and/or optimum personal performance should consider a meeting with Dr Verma.
Since first seeing Dr. Verma 4 years ago, I have seen major improvements in my health from her recommendations. I have lost 30 lbs and feel better overall. She does a variety of in-depth testing which is very insightful and also offers unique services to complement on-going healthcare such as IVs, CVAC pod, PEMF mat, infrared sauna, bioidentical hormones and more. Her preventative approach to chronic diseases as an integrative MD is what sets her apart from the traditional realm of healthcare that we are all used to. I highly recommend everyone to follow this approach to proactive healthcare.
I love Dr. Verma!! I was lucky enough to find Dr. Verma and her practice (Synergistiq) when she was opening in 2014. I'm grateful every day for Dr V. and her brilliance and heart. It was extremely difficult to navigate the world of my chronic illnesses before Dr V helped to find creative solutions to treatment issues. I'm extremely thankful, and would highly recommend anyone interested in improving their health with a caring, attentive, and holistically-focused doctor to make an appointment with Dr V. We need more doctors like her!!!
Dr. Verma was my primary care physician years ago at Baycare and I instantly loved her approach to medicine - at an initial visit she suggested testig my hormones and i was so impressed with her big picture outlook during that time. I was looking for a second opinion on a newly diagnosed condition and I was beyond thrilled when I found Dr. Verma again. At my first appointment, she was thorough and offered valuable insight into what may be contribution to my condition. In the three months that I've bee seeing Dr. Verma my health has improved and taken on an entrirely new direction. She offers not only medical advice but clear direction and suggesstions on how to live healthier and become the best healthy version of yourself. When you meet with Dr. Verma and experience the environment of her practice - you naturally yearn for a healthier way of living. I am excited about my new health journey and feeling much better with improved lab results to confirm I am on the right path with Dr. Verma.
Good morning Dr Verma, I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am to you. It's often difficult to communicate well for me--so while I feel I can, I'm sharing with you. You're a brilliant and compassionate person and Doctor! In a sea of ignorance, somehow I found you and your practice. What great energy! You have always been and continue to be happy, healthy, awesome, and inspiring. Thank you! ☀
After I gave birth to my children, my body changed and sex life was not as satisfactory. My healthcare provider recommended the Juliet laser. The effects were immediately visible for me and improved over time. One month after the treatment, I still notice continuous improvements in tightness. It’s made a huge difference, I feel like I’m 18 again, which is great.
I decided to try the new Juliet treatment. I didn’t feel any pain during the procedure and I can’t believe how good the results have been for me. It improved my sexual life and I don’t have any problems with accidental urination.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (CN) - Charles Schwab owed investors a fiduciary duty not to deviate from a set investment plan, a federal judge has ruled.
Northstar Financial Advisors, Inc. filed a putative class action against Schwab in 2008, alleging the company broke away from financial objectives tied to the Schwab Total Bond Market Fund by investing too heavily in risky mortgage-backed securities that accounted for more than 25 percent of the fund's assets.
The original plan involved tracking the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, and the deviation from that objective allegedly cost shareholders tens of millions of dollars when the housing bubble burst - an affect triggered by relaxed industry standards that led to bad loans made to homeowners who could not pay them back.
The fund suffered a total negative return of 4.80 percent as a result, according to Northstar, which notes the Lehman Index enjoyed a positive 7.85 percent return for the same class period between September 2007 and February 2009.
U.S. District Judge Susan Illston initially found that Northstar did not have standing to bring claims against Schwab because the company only purchases shares for its clients, not for itself.
She granted with prejudice Schwab's motion to dismiss Northstar's third amended complaint in August 2011
The Ninth Circuit ruled in March 2015, however, that Northstar had standing to sue Schwab even if it did not own shares of the fund itself, because a client assigned his rights to the investment advisory firm in a supplemental, post-complaint pleading.
Schwab disclosed in registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that tracking its benchmark was "fundamental," and could not be changed without the approval of a majority of the securities-holders.
Therefore, "until the fundamental investment objectives were amended by the shareholder vote, the investors had a contractual right to have the fund managed in accordance with those objectives," U.S. District Judge Edward Korman, a federal judge from New York sitting by designation, wrote for the circuit.
Schwab filed a motion to dismiss Northstar's fifth amended complaint in June 2015, and U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh in San Jose granted the motion with prejudice on six of Northstar's 14 claims.
She threw out Northstar's claims for breach of contract as third party beneficiary against the advisor, breach of contract against the trust, breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing against the advisor and trustees, breach of contract as third party beneficiary against the advisor, and breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing against the advisor and trustees.
Koh, however, preserved Northstar's claims for fiduciary duty against the Schwab defendants.
"The advisor did not operate at arm's length," she wrote in a 42-page order. "Instead, the advisor worked under the supervision of the trustees on behalf of the shareholders. As such, the advisor ultimately owed the shareholder certain fiduciary duties."
Northstar also fulfilled the requirements for its aiding and abetting claims, Koh said.
"The [complaint] and exhibits suggest that the trustees and the advisor are to have a close working relationship," she explained. "Schwab investments' 1997 proxy statement states, for instance, that the trustees and the advisor worked together in proposing new investment objectives for the fund."
She added that the statement, and others like it, "suggests that, if a breach did in fact occur, one defendant knew what the other defendant was doing, and may have helped facilitate the breach at issue."
Koh noted that "the court's decision does not foreclose defendants from challenging Northstar's aiding and abetting claims at a later stage. It is possible, for instance, that defendants will be able to show that the trustees did not actively participate in the advisor's breach of the advisor's fiduciary duties to Northstar," she wrote.

Last year we celebrated our 40th anniversary with a trip to Paris. We also inserted a trip to visit the beaches of Normandy. I mean … how could we not? Overlord Tours, http://www.overlordtour.com
, is the company that we used to book our 8-hour “Band of Brothers” Tour. Our tour guide picked us up at our hotel in Bayeux. Oliver was amazing in his knowledge of World War II history, storytelling, reverence … and dude … he had some amazing flip charts. If you are a fan of “Band of Brothers” this is the tour for you!!! We visited farm houses, a field full of cows where Dick Winters engaged the Germans and took out several cannon batteries, several small towns and churches where important things happened, a WWII museum, the American Cemetery, Pointe du Hoc and walked the beaches of Omaha and Utah where the American soldiers landed today … just 69 years ago.

"These results suggest for the first time, as far as we know, that exposure to WIFI affect heart rhythm, blood pressure, and catecholamines efficacy on cardiovascular system; indicating that radiofrequency can act directly and/or indirectly on cardiovascular system."
"Several studies with appropriate methodologies reflect the capacity of electromagnetic radiations to cause adverse health effects and there are several credible mechanisms that can account for the observed effects. Hence, need of the hour is to activate comprehensive well-coordinated blind scientific investigations, overcoming all limitations and demerits of previous investigations especially replication studies to concretize the earlier findings. Furthermore, appropriate exposure assessment is crucial for identification of dose-response relation if any, and the elucidation of biological interaction mechanism. For the time being, the public should follow the precautionary principle and limit their exposure as much as possible."
"According to the results of this study, ELF-MF exposure could impair oxidant-antioxidant function and might increase oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation. Antioxidant capability was dependent on the duration and continuity of ELF-MF exposure."
"Biological effects have been reported, such as radiofrequency sickness, electroencephalographic and blood pressure changes and also cancer risks in humans and animals exposed to microwave irradiation. Some European countries (Italy, France, Belgium, etc.) have taken measures to protect their populations."
"Occupational exposure to radiofrequency EMF can result in changes of the diurnal rhythms of blood pressure and heart rate with lowering of their amplitudes and a shift of the acrophase. The clinical relevance of the present finding needs to be investigated in further studies."


text: Bit of John Wetton appreciation moment, since younger folks might not be as aware of him and he sadly died at the end of January this year, aged only 67. But boy, did he have a heck of a career, playing in a bunch of bands you may have heard of, including Family, Roxy Music, Uriah Heap, and Wishbone Ash, and that’s not counting a bunch of others and the countless times he did session work. His two most noted stints, however, were as the front-man and primary lyricist for the band Asia, and his preceding stint in King Crimson. He in fact played with the icons that are Bill Bruford and Robert Fripp on one of my favourite King Crimson albums (more on that next week, however). This was the opening song on Asia’s debut album of the same name, which came out in 1982 and was an instant hit, and it’s easy to see why with the named talent it had on it. Steve Howe and Geoff Downes of Yes (and the Buggles for the latter) and Carl Palmer of, y’know, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, formed what must have been one of the premier progressive supergroups of the era. The result was some sort of prog/power/arena rock mesh, but predominately, it is very, very eighties. And it’s great! That verse design is sick, and Wetton’s voice is absolutely ace for it. You’d have to be pretty boring to not like it even a little bit, in my opinion. Congratulations on being a true legend, John Wetton.

Caprese chicken is an easy, one pan meal ready in less than 30 minutes. It’s a fun and flavorful spin on caprese salad.
The end of Labor Day weekend is always a little sad for me because it signifies the end of summer. I’m not quite ready to completely forget summer though, so I plan on making these summery dishes as long as I can.
This dish inspired by the classic caprese salad and contains all the ingredients you’ll find in a caprese salad including fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, basil and balsamic vinegar.
Chicken is seared until golden brown and then topped with fresh mozzarella. I then let the mozzarella melt over the chicken before topping it with blistered cherry tomatoes. It’s then finished with shredded basil and a balsamic glaze.
Instead of using balsamic vinegar, I chose to use balsamic glaze which is balsamic vinegar that has been reduced until thickened. Instead of dribbling off like the vinegar, the glaze is thick enough to hold its form when drizzled over the chicken. You can buy balsamic glaze at the grocery store, online, or you can make your own by reducing balsamic vinegar until thickened. I purchased mine on Amazon.
- 1 tbsp canola oil
- 4 (4-oz) boneless skinless chicken breast halves
- ½ lb cherry tomatoes halved
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella sliced into 4 discs
- 2 tbsp shredded basil
- 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
- In a large skillet, add oil and bring to medium high heat. Add in chicken breasts and cook a few minutes on each side until chicken breasts are cooked, with a golden brown sear on both sides.
- About 2 minutes before chicken is finished, add in tomato halves and cook until tomatoes are heated and skin is lightly blistered.
- Top chicken breasts with mozzarella slices. Turn off stove and cover skillet with lid to allow cheese to melt over the chicken.
- Dish out the chicken. Top tomatoes over cheese. Sprinkle chicken with basil. Drizzle with balsamic glaze.
- Chicken breasts are quite thick, so I sliced them in half lengthwise to reduce the thickness, which makes them easier to cook and serve.
- I used this baslamic glaze which I purchased on Amazon*.

Recreating the fusion reaction occurring in the Sun’s core here on Earth; this is the mission that scientists and engineers have taken up with ITER, one of human history’s most ambitious engineering projects.
ITER, which stands for International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, involves the collaboration of 35 nations and consists in manufacturing and operating a massive experimental fusion device called a tokamak. Built of one million components and ten million parts and designed to harness fusion energy, ITER will be the world’s largest tokamak ever built, with a plasma radius of 6.2 m and a vacuum vessel of 840 m³ able to withstand temperatures reaching 150 million degrees Celsius, nothing less.
ITER’s objective is to demonstrate the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of nuclear fusion as a source of large-scale, carbon-free energy. To this intent, the ITER project’s tokamak is designed to generate 500 MW of fusion power from 50 MW of input heating power, reaching a ten-fold return on power (Q=10).
The Cantabrian company Equipos Nucleares, S.A. (ENSA) has been tasked to design and build components for the tokamak’s toroidal vacuum vessel. The project will be housed in thirty-nine buildings and technical areas under construction on a 180-hectare site in Cadarache, southern France. The heart of the facility—the Tokamak Building—is an impressive seven-story structure in reinforced concrete. As the buildings are structurally completed, equipment can be installed and assembled.
Beyond any doubt, controlling the dimensions of a 23,000-ton, 28m-diameter tokamak during the assembly process mandatary requires highly accurate 3-dimensional measuring equipment to ensure that the exact tolerances for machine operation are achieved.
This is where the contribution of AsorCAD takes its full value.
Right Partner For Exact Dimensions
Over the last 25 years, the Spain-based engineering company AsorCAD has been known for its sharp specialization in 3D technology. For this reason, ENSA asked AsorCAD to take charge of the 3D scanning, reverse engineering, and metrology work to construct the ITER project’s nuclear fusion reactor.
Since early 2015, ENSA benefits from AsorCAD’s expertise. Together, they were able to scan the lateral edges of the nine sectors of the tokamak’s plasma chamber, also called the torus. This was an essential task because, since each sector is manufactured separately, it requires designing joining pieces to connect the different sections and ensure they meet up perfectly once assembled.
Precise 3D Measurements For Perfect Fitting
To ensure a perfect fitting of the different sections of the torus, AsorCAD used the Creaform MetraSCAN 3D scanner for the toroidal components and the MaxSHOT 3D photogrammetry system for the large-scale parts. Then, some measurements were verified with the HandyPROBE CMM, also manufactured by Creaform.
Because they are free from any rigid setup requirements, this 3D measuring equipment is portable and highly reliable for on-site work. Their measurement accuracy is insensitive to the instabilities of the environment, which means that they are not affected by movement, vibrations, or changes in temperature or lighting conditions. These qualities enabled AsorCAD to perform highly accurate 3D scanning and measurements at the ENSA facilities without the need to transport enormous equipment.
Once 3D scans of the lateral edges of each torus sector were accurately captured, AsorCAD used Geomagic Design X software to create their corresponding CAD models.
Then, by reverse engineering, ENSA could design connecting elements with exact dimensions to join the different existing sections. AsorCAD used the MetraSCAN 3D scanner again to scan all these manufactured joining pieces for final inspection and approbation.
On the way to carbon-free energy
Assembly work of the tokamak’s toroidal vacuum vessel has now started in Cadarache. The first plasma tests are expected by 2025. Afterwards, the ITER project will continue until it reaches its objective, which is producing a ten-times return on energy injected in the plasma (Q=10) to demonstrate nuclear fusion’s viability as a sustainable, non-carbon-emitting global energy supply.

As the active ingredient in this drug is used Metamizole sodium, which prevents the passage of pain impulses to the brain. Analgin also increases the body's heat and reduces the excitability of the centers of pain sensitivity in the human body.
Analgin has a slight anti-inflammatory effect. Thus, the drug minimally affects the activity of the gastrointestinal tract and retains water and salt balance. The drug has antipyretic effects. Tablets have antispasmodic effect, which occurs about 30 minutes after taking the drug.
As antipyretic Analgin shows greater efficacy than an Aspirin, "Ibuprofen" and "Paracetamol".
"Analgin" can be assigned for fevers, mild and moderate pain syndromes (neuralgia, arthralgia, intestinal colic, etc.). "Analgin" is widely used to relieve postoperative, head and dental pain until a more secure means of anesthesia and analgesia.
At the moment Analgin is banned drug in most Western countries because of the increased risk of agranulocytosis, which in 7% of cases can lead to death.
In contrast to the "Analginum" "Tsitramon" is composed of acetylsalicylic acid, caffeine and paracetamol, what is the difference between the drugs. Each of the substances included in the composition, has a different effect, due to which the drug received its initial distribution.
Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) has antipyretic effect, which may be initiated by the inflammatory process. Aspirin relieves pain, improves circulation and reduces blood clotting. Caffeine helps the brain by dilating blood vessels and improving blood flow, easing pain and eliminating drowsiness. Caffeine also stimulates physical and mental activity. Paracetamol has antipyretic action and is able to act as a painkiller.
Despite its efficiency, "Citramon" has a large number of contraindications, ranging from hives, asthma or acute rhinitis, to the increased excitability and sleep disorders.
The drug is indicated for pain syndromes of different severity, fevers, acute respiratory infections and influenza. As "Analginum" "Tsitramon" is rarely used in Western countries because of its negative impact on internal organs, especially the liver.


Many of you may not surprised with the fact that DJI presents a new drone every half a year. This time it’s Phantom 4 Pro V2.0, which looks exactly like its predecessor which looked exactly like its predecessor which looked…
Still, Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 is significantly different than the previous model – its blades are 60% quieter and the data transmission is handled by OcuSync. The rest is the same as in the predecessor which was the same as...
1). DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2.0
The data transmission system Lightbridge, used for instance in Phantom 4 Pro and Phantom 4 Advanced, has been replaced by a newer solution, OcuSync HD. OcuSync is supposed to ensure data transmission for a distance of 7km and to automatically choose the band between 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz. OcuSync can also be connected to DJI Goggles RE.
2). DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2.0
As has been mentioned before, most of the Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 specification remained unchanged in comparison to its predecessors. The drone is equipped with the 20MP, 1’’ Exmor R CMOS sensor and a lens, with the focal length equivalent of 24mm and the light of f/2.8, adapted for the use in aerial photography. The optical system consists of 8 elements placed in 7 groups, among which 2 are aspherical lenses.
3). DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2.0
Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 registers videos in 4K with the speed of 60f/s and it uses H.264 codec. The image is recorded with the use of D-Long Cine-D profiles, which enable further modifications of the material. Similarly, the images are saved in Adobe DNG.
The Flight Autonomy system is yet another thing which won’t be new to the owners of the older DJI drones. Thanks to the system, they will not have to take their new “toy” from the tree or collect its fragments from around the tree. The ActiveTrack system is supposed to ensure that our drone tracks us, or other moving objects, in a way planned in advance by, for instance, making circles around the object.
4). DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 - Specification Comparison
People willing to buy DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 will have to pay $1500. The dedicated controller costs $300 and a set consisting of the drone, the controller and DJI Goggles costs $2,200.

Senate Takes A Look At $2 Billion Budget For DHHS
Senate budget writers turned their attention Monday to the state’s biggest agency, the Department of Health and Human Services.
The proposed budget for DHHS comes in at just more than $2 billion. It seeks to restore the CHINS program and increase payments to hospitals for uncompensated care.
The budget also lays out $24.5 million over the next two years to shore up the state’s troubled mental health system.
Senator Lou D’Allesandro questioned if the state can wait that long for a fix.
Commissioner Nick Toumpas replied there really is no choice.
“I’m not going to sit here and say there isn’t an issue. But I will also say, Senator, it wasn’t overnight that this issue was created. It’s not going to be overnight that it is going to be resolved.”
The Senate Finance Committee also questioned the agency’s $46 million in estimated savings for a transition to Medicaid managed care.
Already months behind schedule, Toumpas admitted that the full extent of those savings likely isn’t realistic.

Historical New England Patriots Milestones
The New England Patriots are an NFL team and are a part of the American Football Conference (AFC) East Division. Located in Foxborough, Massachusetts, roughly 20 miles southwest of downtown Boston, they play their home games in Gillette Stadium. Originally a part of the American Football League (AFL), the Pats entered the National Football League (NFL) in 1970 when the two leagues merged. Originally known as the Boston Patriots, the team changed their name when they made their move to Foxborough in 1971.
The Patriots have nine Super Bowl appearances, the most of any franchise in league history. However, seven of the nine have come after the arrival of head coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady. Brady got his start after an injury to star quarterback Drew Bledsoe, so not much was expected from the back-up. Nevertheless, Brady, Belichick and company put the wheels in motion for a dynasty that would span almost two decades. Since the 2001 season, they have won 14 out of 16 AFC East Division titles, set countless team records including longest winning streak (21), most consecutive division titles (8). Their first championship came in Super Bowl XXXVI as 21 point underdogs as they upset the St. Louis Rams with a game-winning kick by team legend Adam Vinatieri as time expired. Two years later, Vinatieri would solidify his status as New England hero by once against nailing the game-winning field goal as time expired to defeat the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl XXXVIII. The Patriots would beat the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl XXXIX and go back-to-back and win their third Super Bowl in four years, undoubtedly making them the next dynasty in the NFL. The Pats continued to have great regular season success, however another Super Bowl win eluded them for many years. Even after becoming the first NFL team to go 16-0 in the regular season, they lost to the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLII to continue their championship drought. The Patriots continued success is attributed to their franchise structure and consistency. This stems from their future Hall of Fame head coach and quarterback, Bill Belichick and Tom Brady. They went on to win Super Bowl XLIX against the Seattle Seahawks in spectacular fashion as Malcom Butler intercepted Russell Wilson’s attempt at a game-winning touchdown. And just when you didn’t think it could get any crazier than a game saving interception, the Patriots overcame a Super Bowl record, 25-point deficit in Super Bowl LI vs the Atlanta Falcons to win their 5th Super Bowl. The Patriots won their sixth Super Bowl in Super Bowl LIII (53) by defeating the Rams. They are now tied for the most Super Bowl titles in NFL history.
Not just one of the NFL’s most storied franchises, but in all of sports, the New England Patriots have had an unprecedented run spanning almost two decades. A part from great team success, many Pats players have reached Hall of Fame status with the team. With stars like Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, Julian Edelman, and many others, any memorabilia collection would not be complete without adding a piece of this legendary franchise.

- We’ll prioritise Nigeria in Africa, says Pfizer
Omololu Ogunmade in Abuja
The federal government has commenced negotiations with prospective distributors of COVID-19 vaccines to Nigeria ahead of their availability.
Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo Osinbajo kick-started the negotiations yesterday on behalf of Nigeria at a virtual meeting with representatives of the BNT162 COVID-19 vaccine candidate on the progress of vaccine development across the world, including Africa.
At the meeting, the vice-president told his co-discussants that Nigeria must be given priority when COVID-19 vaccine is ready for distribution.
According to him, the federal government will explore every possible option in the development and distribution of a vaccine against COVID-19 pandemic because health and safety of Nigerians is the priority of the federal government.
The vice-president’s spokesman, Mr Laolu Akande, in a statement, said the meeting was attended by the Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, and the Executive Director of the National Primary Health Care Development Agency, Dr. Faisal Shuaib, with representatives of Pfizer and Biotech, the international pharmaceutical firms promoting the BNT162 vaccine candidate.
Osinbajo said interaction between the federal government and promoters of the vaccine candidate “is an important conversation and it is important for us that we are prioritized-as the largest country in Africa-in the distribution of the best COVID-19 vaccine when it’s eventually ready.”
He added: “Our priority is the health of the Nigerian citizens. We continue to engage and intend to look at every possible option -from all manufacturers- of a good vaccine. We want to do the very best for our people in this regard.”
Akande said during the meeting, the vice-president asked several questions about COVID-19 vaccine candidate including how quickly Nigeria can get the vaccine once it’s safely ready.
He said Pfizer Country Manager and Representative in Africa, Mr. Subair Olayinka, who spoke on behalf of promoters of the vaccine, assured the vice-president that “Nigeria will be a priority,” for the vaccine supply to Africa.
Akande said although COVID-19 vaccine trials are not going on in Nigeria at present, the trials are nonetheless ongoing in some parts of Africa and will be entering the third phase, having concluded the first two phases successfully.
He said Ehanire in his remarks, disclosed that the federal government would consider quality, appropriate volume and how well and quick a vaccine could be delivered to Nigeria as the deciders of the choice of manufacturers to make the supply to Nigeria.
