1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to cosmetic compositions. More particularly, the present invention relates to cosmetic compositions with film-forming agents for application to the skin and nails.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Desirable cosmetic characteristics of film-forming cosmetic compositions include: good application, the production of a uniform film of excellent sheen or gloss, rapid drying time, good adhesion, a certain amount of flexibility, and good film strength to avoid cracking and flaking of the film. Moreover, an often overlooked, but desired, characteristic is the absence of irritation of the skin, hair, and/or nails upon which the film-forming cosmetic composition is applied.
To achieve the above-identified characteristics, film-forming cosmetic compositions conventionally have a mixture of film forming agents. Typically, cellulose-based film formers, in particular, nitrocellulose or cellulose acetate butyrate, are used as “primary” film formers. Often, the primary film formers are combined with one or more “secondary” film formers, which increase the film-forming ability of the primary film former and improve the sheen and adhesion of the resulting films. Secondary film formers known in the art include alkyd resins, polyester resins, acrylic resins, low molecular weight polyurethane resins, polyamide resins, vinyl resins, arylsulfonamide aldehyde resins, and arylsulfonamide epoxy resins.
For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,676,935 to Mellul et al. discloses that nitrocellulose, arylsulphonamide-epoxy resin, and polyurethane have been used as film-forming materials. However, polyurethanes presently used in the art are difficult to stabilize in pigmented cosmetic compositions. Generally, combining polyurethane resins and pigments within a single cosmetic composition results in the pigments falling out of the suspension, which is clearly undesirable.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,080,413 to Ellingson et al. is directed to polyurethane nail polish compositions that have from about 0.1% to about 40% by weight of a water-insoluble, film-forming polyurethane, and a carrier having a liquid diluent. The diluent has water, and one or more volatile organic solvents.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,123,931 also to Ellingson et al. is directed to polyurethane and polyacryl nail polish compositions. These compositions have from about 0.1% to about 40% by weight of a water-insoluble, film-forming polymer, water, and one or more volatile organic solvents. However, the polymer is one or more polyacryls, polymethacryls, polyurethane-polyacryl mixtures, polyurethane-polymethacryl mixtures, urethane-acryl copolymers, and mixtures thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it has been unexpectedly discovered that a cosmetic composition, particularly a nail enamel composition, including a cellulose-based primary film forming agent, in combination with one or more high molecular weight polyurethane resins as a secondary film forming and plasticizing agent, and, optionally, one or more epoxy resins, results in increased adhesion of the cosmetic composition onto the nail, superior flexibility (displacement), durability, film strength, and no significant loss of gloss over time.
Moreover, unlike conventional nail enamel compositions where the pigmented nail enamel coating transfers coating if the nails are rubbed onto, for example, a paper napkin, notwithstanding that the initial drying time (10 to 60 minutes) has passed and the nails appear perceptively dry, the nail enamel coating of the present composition is significantly more transfer resistant once the nails are perceptively dry.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a cosmetic composition with a combination of film-forming agents for application to the skin and nails.
It is another objective of the present invention to provide such a cosmetic composition having improved gloss, wear-resistance, adhesion, and flexibility and is more transfer resistant in less time.
These and other objects of the present invention are achieved by a cosmetic composition, preferably in the form of a nail polish, comprising a ceilulose-based primary film former, one or more high molecular weight polyurethanes, and, optionally, one or more arylsulfonamide epoxy resins.
The present invention provides a cosmetic composition, preferably in the form of a nail polish or other film-forming cosmetic composition. The composition has at least one primary film forming material and one or more high molecular weight polyurethane resins. Optionally, the cosmetic composition has at least one arylsulfonamide epoxy resin.
Preferably, the primary film former is a cellulose-based film former. More preferably, nitrocellulose is the primary film former. However, many cellulose-based materials, such as cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate butyrate, and ethyl cellulose, may be used either in combination with or as an alternative to nitrocellulose.
The cellulose-based primary film former is preferably present in an amount about 5 percent by weight (wt %) of the total weight of the composition to about 15 wt %. More preferably, the primary film former is about 7 wt % to about 12.5 wt % of the total weight of the composition.
An essential aspect of the present invention is the use of one or more high molecular weight polyurethane resins, which function as both film formers and plasticizers. Preferably the high molecular-weight polyurethane resins are polyether-type, high-molecular weight, polyurethane resins having an average molecular weight (MW) in the range of about 20,000 to about 80,000. The tg (glass transition temperature) of the preferred high-MW polyurethane resins is in the range of about −4° C. to about −20° C. and, more preferably, about −19° C. More preferred high-MW polyurethane resins have one of the following structures:
wherein R is an aliphatic moiety. Aliphatic polyurethane resins are preferred because they are more stable than aromatic polyurethane resins.
The high-MW polyurethane resins on a percent solids basis are preferably present in an amount about 2 wt % to about 15 wt %, and, more preferably, about 5 wt % to about 10 wt %.
Arylsulfonamide epoxy resins may also be included. For example, tosylamide epoxy resin may be added to the composition. Such arylsulfonamide epoxy resins enhance the aesthetics and gloss of the composition, but are not necessary to the functioning of the invention. When used, arylsulfonamide epoxy resins are preferably present in an amount about 1 wt % to about 15 wt % and, more preferably, about 3 wt % to about 8 wt %.
One or more plasticizers may also preferably be included in cosmetic compositions according to the present invention, but are not essential. When used, the plasticizer preferably is present in an amount about 1 wt % to about 9 wt % and, more preferably, about 2 wt % to about 5 wt %. Plasticizers useful in the present invention are those known in the art, including, without limitation, dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and other phthalates, tributyl acetyl citrate and other citrates, ethyl toluene sulfonamide (ethyl tosylamide), n-cyclohexyl para-toluene sulfonamide, glycerol and other glycols, glycol ethers, glycol esters, hydrogenated castor oil or epoxidized oils, polyesters, polybutylenes, low-MW aliphatic polyurethanes (about 2000 to about 5000 MW), toluene sulfonamide urea formaldehyde, γ-butyral lactone, n-butylphthalimide/isopropylphthalimide, ethylhexyl diphenyl phosphate, wool fat derivatives, chlorinated paraffins, glyceryl triacetate, camphor, sucrose acetate isobutyrate (SAIB), “slow” or high boiling solvents, low tg resins and polymers, and mixtures thereof. A more preferred cosmetic composition according to the present invention has ethyl toluene sulfonamide in an amount about 0.5 wt % to about 5 wt %. Conventional nail polish compositions have phthalates, such as DBP, as an essential component for imparting flexibility to the nail polish coating. It is highly surprising and unexpected that the nail polish compositions of the present invention can possess superior flexibility in the absence of phthalates, such as DBP.
The present invention may also have a solvent in an amount about 45 wt % to about 95 wt % and, more preferably, about 60 wt % to about 80 wt %. Examples of solvents useful in the present invention include, without limitation, alkylacetates, arylacetates, alcohols, ethers, ketones, alkanes, hydrocarbons, and water. Preferably, the cosmetic composition is anhydrous. More preferably, a cosmetic composition according to the present invention has butyl acetate in an amount about 20 wt % to about 40 wt %, ethyl acetate in an amount about 20 wt % to about 40 wt %, ethyl alcohol in an amount about 5 wt % to about 10 wt %, isopropanol in an amount about 1 wt % to about 10 wt % (more preferably about 3 wt % to about 6 wt %), and diacetone alcohol in an amount 0.5 wt % to about 5 wt %.
Additional ingredients that may be included in cosmetic compositions according to the present invention include stabilizing agents and pigments. When used, stabilizing agents, such as stearalkonium bentonite and stearalkonium hectorite, are present preferably in an amount about 0.1 wt % to about 3 wt % and, more preferably, about 0.75 wt % to about 1.5 wt %. In a most preferred embodiment for a nail polish, the stearalkonium bentonite and stearalkonium hecorite are present in about an equal amount. Furthermore, pigments are preferably present in an amount about 0.01 wt % to about 10 wt % and, more preferably, about 0.5 wt % to about 4 wt %.
Moreover, the present invention may include any other suitable ingredient, limited only by the purpose to which the cosmetic composition is intended. For example, a cosmetic composition according to the present invention may include: ultraviolet light absorbers, antioxidants, fragrances, moisturizers, medicaments, humectants, fillers, or mixtures thereof.
The following is an example of a cosmetic composition according to the present invention.
Approximate wt %
primary film former
high-MW polyurethane resin
The following is an example of a nail polish according to the present invention.
Approximate wt %
tosylamide epoxy resin
Nail polish composition A was formulated in accordance with Example 2. Nail polish composition B was similarly formulated, except composition B contained no high MW polyurethane. Compositions A and B were each cast onto a substrate, such as glass, dried for twenty four hours at ambient temperature to create a film, cut into sections approximately 1 inch by 4 inches by 0.001 inch thick, peeled from the substrate and placed onto an Instron apparatus to determine their mechanical properties. Composition A film and composition B film were each stressed or pulled by the Instron at the rate of 6 inches/minute. The displacement (inches) of each film was recorded at film fracture and is set forth below.
The present invention having been described with particular reference to the preferred forms thereof, it will be obvious that various changes and modifications may be made herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

With the snow coming down and the slower pace of January and February, I took some time and sorted through my UFOs. I decided it was time to try and finish up Lenore's Day Dress and Slip. This was a class I took with Cindy Foose several years ago. I decided to add a simple shell edging to the slip and of course that turned into a tutorial. There is both a video tutorial and written directions below.
Shell edging is a traditional heirloom technique that can be applied to finish the edge of a garment. It must be used on a lightweight fabric such as a batiste, lawn or voile. It has the advantage that it can be applied to the straight of grain, cross grain, or a curved edge which is on the bias as I did here.
To begin, press the edge to the wrong side by 1/8" and then press again by 1/8".
Using regular sewing thread that has been run through beeswax and a sharps or embroidery needle, take a few stitches in the seam allowance to anchor the thread. Stitch 2-3 running stitches along the folded edge to the first mark. (I have marked the hem every 1 cm).
Once the mark is reached, take the needle to the back and bring it from the back to the front, wrapping the thread over the fabric and pulling until just taught.
Repeat the previous stitch wrapping the thread a second time over the top and coming out at the same point.
Then give a gently tug on the thread to form the scallop.
This will form the scallop. Continue along the entire hem. Below is a video tutorial showing the process.
I love how Lenore's Day Dress and Slip turned out and am glad I have one less UFO!
I hope you give the Shell Stitch Edging a try. It is such a beautiful technique.

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Scones
Let it be known: school has officially started again. And that can only mean one thing: coffee, lots of coffee, is essential. But, to further help me get through the first week, I decided to throw together a giant batch of scones to go with my coffee that will further give me the strength needed to take in that beginning-semester rush. And, because my usual breakfast consists of either peanut butter toast or oatmeal, I decided to put those two together and make an offspring. A fantastic offspring.
Start by combining lots of flour, oats, a little sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
Stick that bowl into an electric mixer and add A LOT of diced cold butter. As in A POUND of butter. As in these scones are going to be SERIOUSLY flakey. Then turn the mixer on low speed and mix until the butter is in pea-sized lumps.
With the mixer still going, pour in the buttermilk/egg mixture and, when it’s about halfway combined, drop in 2/3 cup of peanut butter. I used chunky peanut butter because I like to live life on the edge.
Roll the dough out on a floured surface until it’s about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Then, cut out 3-inch rounds . . .
These scones are unbelievably light and flaky, it’s hard to eat just one! Yet they are extremely hearty and comforting which makes them great for facing those rainy Pacific Northwest mornings that make you want to just close the curtains and pull the covers over your head. But, with these scones waiting for you on the kitchen counter, it might just be a little easier to peek an eye open and groggily greet the day.
Peanut Butter Oatmeal Scones
Yield: about 20-22 scones
Source: All Things Sweet original recipe
4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup old-fashioned oats
2 tablespoons baking powder
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 pound cold unsalted butter, diced
1/2 cup cold buttermilk
4 eggs, lightly beaten
2/3 cup peanut butter
Peanut Butter Glaze:
1-1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 – 1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the flour, oats, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Blend the cold butter in at the lowest speed and mix until the butter is in pea-size pieces. Combine the buttermilk and eggs and add quickly to the flour-and-butter mixture. When halfway combined, add the peanut butter and mix until just blended. The dough may be sticky.
Dump the dough out onto a well-floured surface. Flour your hands and a rolling pin and roll the dough 3/4 thick. You should see lumps of butter in the dough. Cut into 3-inch rounds with a cutter and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown and flakey. Let cool completely.
Meanwhile, for the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Add the peanut butter and combine completely. Top the cooled scones with the glaze.

Peru’s presidential election vote count ticked closer to the end on Tuesday, but a slender margin between the two polarized candidates, contested ballots and accusations of fraud mean the winner may take a lot longer to confirm.
Socialist Pedro Castillo, who has roiled markets and miners with plans to shake up the copper-rich country's politics, held a slim lead of some 50.2% ahead of right-wing rival Keiko Fujimori on 49.8%, with almost 96% of the votes tallied.
The leftist candidate, the son of peasant farmers, had surged late in the count, driven by an energized rural vote beyond capital Lima. Fujimori, the scion of a powerful political family, started to close the gap on Tuesday, however, as overseas votes came in that favor her.
The tight gap – some 80,000 votes – and bubbling tensions, with Fujimori alleging fraud and scattered marches by Castillo supporters after he had called on them to "defend the vote," meant any final result is likely to be contested.
"Peru needs its children to rescue her," Castillo told supporters from a balcony late on Monday. "We have to be respectful of the popular will and I will be the first to enforce the will of the Peruvian people."
Fujimori said she held out hope of closing the narrow gap on Castillo. She said there was "clear intention to boycott the will of the people" by his party, though offered little concrete evidence of what she called "irregularities."
In a note, Citi said that Castillo's lead was bound to narrow as overseas ballots were counted, but that it would take a large turnout for Fujimori to overtake him again. Contested ballots, it added, could be key.
There are some 1,364 contested 'actas,' or voting tables, which is likely to equate to some 270,000-300,000 votes. They are set to be counted by a special committee set up by the electoral board, which could take at least a week.
If Castillo wins, investors will be looking to see whether he reaches out to calm the country following the divisive election, and what his early messaging is on economic policy direction and the investment outlook, Goldman Sachs said.
Castillo has promised to redraft the constitution to strengthen the role of the state and take a larger portion of profits from mining firms. Fujimori has pledged to follow a free-market model and maintain economic stability in Peru.
Azhar Hussain, Head of Global Credit at Royal London Asset Management, said that market fears about Castillo were potentially over-inflated.
“The (market) reaction to Peru is pretty muted,” he said. “For a start maybe we got trapped in the narrative that it was a binary choice… Maybe from a political point of view it is, but from a real economic perspective it doesn’t seem to be.”

Today started out with Day 61’s biceps workout. The gym was super empty this morning, so I pretty much had the weight floor all to myself 🙂 (okay, okay, there was that ONE guy over on the bench press). Even though I didn’t have to wait for any machines or anything like that, the workout still took me about an hour and 20 minutes, and so I didn’t have time to do my sprints before I had to go to my next class. So, I decided I would have to split up the workout today, and complete the sprints later.
After class, I headed home for lunch which was a pretty random (but still good) combination. I had leftover ground turkey from the tacos we had last night with some salsa, lettuce, and sour cream, and sweet potato with almond butter to go with it. If you’ve never tried the sweet potato almond butter combo…go do it. Right now.
No seriously. It’s THAT good! I have it with my lunch almost every day!
A little later, I decided to go ahead and knock out the sprints. I fueled up with a little snack of 2 rice cakes with plain Chobani and half a banana.
I have to say, I was not looking forward to the sprints today. I really had to psych myself up for it! I ended up doing them on the tredmill at home, so I watched the Ellen Show as I did them, and I must say it really made the time seem to go by faster! I love Ellen. Not to mention Sophia Grace and Rosie (the cute little British girls who sing and dance) were on the show today, and they are ALWAYS hilarious!
Done! And SUPER sweaty!
Dinner tonight was a salad from Chipotle. People don’t realize how easy it can be to make healthy choices when eating out! In my bowl, I got chicken, black beans, corn, tomatoes, lettuce and the best part of all….GUAC! Even though it is a bit ridiculous that it costs $1.80 extra just for one little scoop of guacamole, it is TOTALLY worth it! Gotta get those healthy fats in!
And that is how you eat clean at Chipotle my friends. Now tell me that doesn’t look delicious!? 🙂
Have a good night everyone!

As Anstruther residents we eat here regularly for family meals out and for special occasions and it's also a good place to meet up with friends. The Hight Tea option is always a good deal if you can eat that much! I can't manage tea/ coffee, toast, followed by a main such as local fish and chips and then cakes and scones with cream and jam. It's all very tasty but such large portions.
The staff are friendly and helpful and the toilets are clean and tidy.
I often have 2 starters instead of a starter and main, this allows me enough room for a desert. The calamari are gorgeous lightly breaded and served with salad and lemon wedges, beautiful.

Jan. 14, 2009
THE COLONY, Texas -- Pizza Inn has announced a new development incentive program for new and existing franchisees. The program is designed to ease start-up costs for new franchise locations during the first two years of the restaurants operation.
The benefits of the program include no royalties for the first full year of operation and a 2 percent royalty for the second full year of operation. The royalty for the remainder of the franchise agreement is 4 percent of gross sales.
In addition, existing or new franchisees can take advantage of discounted franchise fees by signing up for the chain's standard multi-unit restaurant development agreement incentive. Multiunit agreements under the program will be structured as follows:
- First restaurant - $25,000
- Second restaurant - $18,750
- Additional restaurants - $12,500
"We recognize that the existing economic environment will make it difficult for existing and new prospects interested in investing in the Pizza Inn brand to obtain financing," said Pizza Inn president and chief executive officer Charlie Morrison. "We anticipate that lenders will look favorably on our offer in their decision to provide funding for these prospects to pursue their desire to be a part of the Pizza Inn family."
To qualify for the incentive program, signed contracts and new unit fees must be received by June 28, 2009, and the restaurant must open within one year of the contract date. The incentive is being offered only in states where Pizza Inn is currently registered to offer franchises today.

The Flick (Dorfman, National Theatre)
Annie Baker's Pulitzer Prize-winning play is a "mighty achievement", says our new critic Sarah Crompton
Annie Baker's play arrives from New York laden with prizes, including the Pulitzer – and burdened by a reputation for daunting length. "Running time approximately 3 hours 15 minutes. Interval after one hour and 40 minutes" warns the sign on the way into the Dorfman.
Yet those who ignore the acclaim and leave half-way are missing a treat. This is a play rich in humour and insight that reveals its purpose slowly but to devastating and memorable effect.
The setting is a movie theatre in Worcester County, Massachusetts, in the summer of 2012, at exactly the moment when the flicks of the title, the films captured on celluloid and screened via a projector, were about to be replaced by digital. It opens in a darkness illuminated only by the flickering light (and sound) of a 35 mm projector rolling the credits When the lights go up, David Zinn's design reveals an empty auditorium that has faded from grandeur into flea-pit squalor, rows of coral seats tipped up waiting for the next showing.
After a while, our protagonists eventually appear, Sam (Matthew Maher) is showing new boy Avery (Jaygann Ayeh) the art of the "walk through" – the act of sweeping up the detritus left by the departed audience. Their conversation is desultory, concerned with banalities and punctuated by a game in which Avery reveals a nerdish knowledge of cinema that can link Michael J Fox to Britney Spears in just six films of separation.
Nothing much happens. But in a series of short scenes, both funny and sad, we learn the story of these lives – and that of Rose, the projectionist, a woman who peppers her sentences with "totally" and "awesome" and expresses the fear that there is something really wrong with her.
There's something really wrong with everybody on the stage, yet as their anxieties and hopes are exposed, as friendship blossoms and is betrayed in half-sentences and halting prose, we come to understand and care about these people. The performances are staggering; Maher and Louisa Krause (as Rose) are from the original cast and their apparently unselfconscious naturalism, the nuance and subtlety of every glance is breathtakingly revealing. Ayeh, a recent RADA graduate, pretty much matches them each step of the way.
But what makes The Flick so original and captivating, in Sam Gold's clear-eyed direction, is the way form really does match content. Its basic story is quite simple, even sentimental – yet it smuggles into its apparent artlessness, themes of performance and reality, of dream and illusion, of the small compromises that people make that destroy them.
Above all, its quiet unfolding makes you watch and listen. Film is different from digital because it has a fraction of darkness between every frame; the viewer has to imagine the moving image. Baker and Gold achieve the same effect, conjuring a stillness that is almost like a painting, rewarding patience, forcing you to pay attention. It's a mighty achievement.
The Flick runs at the Dorfman Theatre until 15 June.

Coaches clinic scheduled Oct. 24
An American Sport Education Program (ASEP) coaches clinic will be held Sunday, Oct. 24, at Rockfords Quality Suites for anyone interest in becoming certified to coach middle or high school athletics.
The successful completion of the ASEP leader-level program is required by the Illinois High School Association for all non-faculty coaches. To register or for more information, call instructor Jeff Kyle at (217) 586-4799.
Statewide, more than 3,000 coaches were certified through this program last year, and yet many schools still struggle to fill coaching vacancies, Kyle said. Statistically, Illinois faces an attrition rate of 40 percent across the board in coaching.


A study of almost 13,000 patients shows that 31 per cent of them with the orders on or before their first day of admission to hospital.
Six in ten (59 per cent) of patients with a Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (DNACPR) decision survived the illness while one in eight (12 per cent) received intensive treatment aimed at saving their life.
This is higher than the rates reported in previous studies of conditions similar to Covid-19 before the pandemic, according to a study from the University of Sheffield’s School of Health and Related Research (ScHARR).
The research, funded by the National Institute for Health Research, found 31 per cent of patients admitted to UK hospitals with suspected Covid-19 during the first wave of the pandemic had a DNACPR decision recorded before or on their day of admission to hospital.
The study, published in the journal Resuscitation, found people with a DNACPR decision received some intensive treatments as frequently as those with no DNACPR decision, which provides reassurance that doctors were not denying patients with DNACPR decisions potentially life-saving treatment.
The research also found that people of Asian background were less likely to have a DNACPR decision on or before their day of admission to hospital.
The reasons for this are not clear and the researchers highlighted the need for further studies into the discussions that take place when people from ethnic minorities are admitted to hospital with Covid-19 or other serious illnesses.
The findings come from the University of Sheffield-led Priest study, which was originally set up to evaluate ways of assessing the severity of Covid-19 in people attending emergency departments.
The research team analysed data relating to DNACPR decisions from 12,748 adults in the study after the Care Quality Commission undertook a review of the use of DNACPR decisions in the pandemic.
In March, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) called for ministerial involvement to tackle the “worrying variation” in people’s experiences of DNACPR decisions, with some families not properly involved and others unaware that decisions had been made.
It said that a combination of “unprecedented pressure” on providers and “rapidly developing guidance” may have led to situations where DNACPR decisions were incorrectly conflated with other clinical assessments.
There were examples of good practice but the regulator also found a “worrying picture” of poor involvement of people using services, poor record keeping, and a lack of oversight and scrutiny of the decisions being made.
Professor Steve Goodacre, professor of emergency medicine at the University of Sheffield’s ScHARR, said: “DNACPR decisions are an important element of providing appropriate care for seriously ill patients but they should not be used as a reason to withhold potentially life-saving treatment.
“Our findings show that many people who had a DNACPR decision during the first wave of the pandemic received an intensive life-saving treatment.”

Texas man allegedly impersonated first responders, stole AED
EMS providers reported several encounters with the suspect, including one in which he was allegedly carrying a firearm
By Laura French
LUBBOCK, Texas — Police in Texas have arrested a man accused of impersonating several different first responders, stealing an AED and attempting to access a 13-year-old child’s medical records.
Jesse Taylor, 51, was arrested this week following multiple encounters with real first responders and healthcare personnel, including members of Lubbock Ambulance Service and staff at University Medical Center in Lubbock, according to KAMC.
Lubbock Ambulance Service personnel called the Lubbock Police Department in one instance after Taylor allegedly approached them at Covenant Medical Center and told paramedics he needed to inspect their AED. Paramedics reported that Taylor was wearing a U.S. Customs ID badge and carrying a firearm.
In another incident, Taylor allegedly displayed credentials indicating he worked for Wolfforth EMS and told a University Medical Center employee he needed an AED for a local school. The employee gave Taylor the AED, believing he was a member of the EMS agency.
Taylor is also accused of impersonating the Wolfforth EMS director and a Wolfforth and Houston firefighter. In an instance not included in court records but posted on the Wolfforth Fire & EMS Facebook page, Taylor is accused of telling University Medical Center staff that he was a Wolfforth firefighter and that the fire department had left their AED at the hospital, but staff did not give him an AED in this instance. He then allegedly asked for the codes to get into the ER, asked for the medical records of a 13-year-old patient and put a backboard from the hospital in his pickup truck. It is unclear if he left with the backboard.

Hard Rock is planning to build eight new hotels in different parts of Brazil.
Brazil.- While the world awaits the regulation of gambling in Brazil and the likely arrival of casinos, companies are already positioning themselves to set up operations in the South American giant.
Hard Rock has announced the construction of eight hotels in different cities in order to expand its position in the Brazilian tourism sector.
Hard Rock’s new properties in Brazil
According to the company, it will develop eight hotels with approximately 3,000 rooms each. They will be located in Sao Paulo, Fortaleza, Ilha de Sol, Campos do Jordão, Foz do Iguaçu, Jericoacoara, Natal and Recife.
“The addition of these properties to Hard Rock’s diverse hotel portfolio marks the brand’s continued international expansion with an increased emphasis on the best locations in South America,” Hard Rock said in a statement.
According to Todd Hricko, senior vice president of hotel development for Hard Rock Hotels, Brazil “is poised to become a major player on the global tourism scene, with 10 Hard Rock Hotels slated, in collaboration with three different partners, VCI SA being the largest of the three.”
Samuel Sicchierolli, president of VCI, Hard Rock’s main partner in Brazil, said: “The next eight years will mean a new era for Hard Rock and we are honored to be able to assist in the development process.”

IN a stable society, such as nowadays exists nowhere in the world, people live and die in the place and condition of their birth, and social custom is inculcated by precept and example from earliest childhood until it seems to be instinctive. Each nation, religion, class, and trade has its own traditional etiquette — the label frankly proclaiming a man’s social status. Such a society has no need for written manuals of etiquette. They are needed by restless and rootless people who have to adapt themselves to strange ways — in fact by most people today.
by EVELYN WAUGH
Mrs. Millieent Fenwick, in Vogue’s Rook of Eliquette (Simon and Schuster, $5.00), has accomplished a clever feat of editorship. The large volume is clearly arranged, illustrated and cross-referenced. She has, moreover, achieved something unique in the literature of etiquette. She has written a book that is not funny. I mean it is not “funny-ha-ha”; it is “funny-peculiar in many respects, as when (p. 42) she states that debutantes with wise parents are “allowed not to drink ; but she nowhere provokes the deep laughter for which we treasured her predecessors’ works. Such lapidary ordinances as: “If you break a glass, apologize, but do not offer to pay and Never touch the fruit; a practiced eye should easily discern the best on the dish, have no place in this studious work. Moreover she professes a different motive from her predecessors’. Their task was frankly to instruct people of low origins in the social habits of their superiors. Not so Mrs. Fenwick, who claims that “the new standards of behavior are based on what, millions of people have accepted as right and wrong. Etiquette is a forum of citizens open to anyone who cares about the amenities of living.”
On the face of it this seemed to be exactly the kind of book which I, as a foreigner who wished to render himself inoffensive in a strange land, particularly needed. I studied il earnestly and learned much. For example, in England we employ ihe toothpick unashamedly. Mrs. Fenwick teaches me that it is intolerable to touch the teeth at all. In England, too, we speak of “the bathroom” as the place where we have baths, and employ the euphemism “lavatory” for the privy. Mrs. Fenwick gives welcome advice against this habit. As I read more deeply, however, I found myself increasingly disconcerted by the contradiction between Mrs. Fenwick’s avowed aims and her accomplishment.
One does not have to travel far in the United States to observe that millions of good citizens who care about the amenities of life do in fact outrage Mrs. Fenwick’s rules every hour of the day. They say “highball” for whisky and soda, “home" for house, “phone” for telephone, and pronounce tomato, “tomayto.” Then there is the matter of hand-shaking. In a few days visit I have had my hand seized and squeezed by the cutter at a tailors shop, the desk clerk at the hotel, and by an intoxicated master-baker in an elevator. Here I thought was a friendly, egalitarian habit which I must cultivate. But on turning up Mrs. Fenwick’s passage on the subject I learn that even in the case of social introductions it is wrong for the man of inferior rank to be the first to offer his hand. Well I daresay master-bakers and novelists are on an equality, but I cannot help thinking that a customer in a shop or hotel must (so far as their particular, temporary relationship goes) rank above the employee.
Then in the matter of men’s clothes: in my youth London, Eng., was the seat of authority. Now we are in shreds and patches, and looking about me it seemed that the United States, freed from convention, is well on the way to developing a distinctive, indeed a flamboyant, style of national dress. But Mrs. Fenwick’s chapter on the subject reads like the regulations issued to officers of the Brigade of Guards by their adjutants, for correct plain clothes during the season of His Majesty’s residence in London. Almost the only eccentricity she allows is the odd one of instructing valets to lay out an evening tic on the back of a chair instead of in its normal place on the dressing-table.
Slowly, as I read, a suspicion grew that Mrs. Fenwick was really following traditional lines. All the preliminary talk about the forum of millions of citizens was mere appeasement. Her task was still that of her predecessors: to impose the habits of a small upper class upon ihe humble majority.
This opened a new line of inquiry and I read more critically, with the result that I flushed some very grave mistakes. On page 587 she writes: “the widow of a Viscount is Angela, Viscountess of Avonmore.”Now this is an entirely impossible title. There is not the smallest reason why American citizens should bother about such archaic minutiae but if they are to be told, let them be told correctly. You cannot be Viscount of anything. You can be Viscount (or Viscountess) Fenwick or Viscount Fenwick of Manhattan. You cannot be Viscount of Manhattan.
So also of heraldry. An American citizen can, of course, embellish his writing paper with any device he chooses and describe it in whatever words he likes, without reference to the Earl Marshal of England. But if he derives his coat-ofarms from a grant made under the English Crown he presumably prefers to be correct in speaking of if. The sentence: “A widow uses her father’s shield and her husband’s; the lozenge is divided in half vertically and the husband’s shield is impaled at the left, the father’s at the right ” is frankly out rageous.
A much graver sin is committed in the treatment of wine. The ravages ot prohibition still afflict the American palate and it is welcome to find Mrs, Fenwick assuming (as I know with pain is far from being the case) that wine is always served at dinner. But having gone so far into the right way, she should really have gone a little farther — or rather should not have strayed so wantonly. She confuses Amontillado with Tio Pepe and Manzanilla. She writes fatuously of the Sauternes, which include four or five of the finest chateaux in the Bordeaux, as less useful than white Burgundy. She supposes, as many do, that, all Graves are white; in fact, most of them, and the best, are red. Worst of all, she describes Rhine Wine, which includes the very heaviest and richest wines in the world (fortified wines excepted), succinctly as “very light.”Elsewhere she remarks of foreigners that they are so peculiar as to drink for taste.” Could not she, who is so severe about the pronunciation of “tomato, have shown a little more rectitude in this matter?
And then, browsing happily, I came on the startling sentence: “It has been generally agreed that conversation is a lost art,” and suddenly I thought, “Then what on earth is the reason for giving a party at all? Why all these elaborate rules for invitation and acceptance, for serving and eating if, when your guests are assembled, they know nothing of the fundamental delight of social intercourse?”
Bod forbid that os a guest in this country I should insult my hosts by hinting at even the faintest agreement with Mrs. Fenwick. But one thing I will note. Americans seem to listen very little. They talk brilliantly and wisely, with deep knowledge and apt illustration, and I think, looking round the table, how lucky we are to be here. And looking round I notice on every face except the speaker’s a rapt nun-like contemplative calm. They are paying no attention at all. Surely here is an amenity of living with which the citizens forum might concern itself? All good conversation depends on timing and agility, not on the importance of the subject. Each contribution must be sharply apropos and must develop the theme. To ensure that, keen attention is necessary. But in all Mrs. Fenwick’s 650 pages I have found no suggestion of this.

Beloved U.S. Tv lawmaker Judge Judy has become a grandmother for the 12th time.
The former family court judge's son, lawyer Gregory Sheindlin, and his wife Laurie recently welcomed their first child together, Daniella Grace Pila Sheindlin, and Judy couldn't be happier.
Judge Judy, real name Judith Sheindlin, tells the New York Post's Page Six column, "Welcoming this beautiful little girl is a treat, but whoever said it's cheaper by the dozen... hasn't had a dozen grandchildren."
Judy and her husband, Judge Jerry Sheindlin, are parents to five children.

I had the pleasure of attending a wedding in Raglan today! Legolas Caewlin and Blodwynna Smalls are a couple in RL who will be getting married next month...They decided to share the fun and their joy by inviting the tiny community to a medieval-style ceremony in Raglan!
The ceremony was so sweet and here they are with their wedding cake!
At the reception, we tinies got our groove on with medieval dances made just for the occasion by Peaches and Apollo! The tiny community is fun-loving and accepting of tinies (and biggies) of all shapes and species! I had a really good time. Thanks for sharing this with us Legolas and Blodwynna!

Staged in a Cafe Chimique style, with refreshments available throughout the evening, Prof Poliakoff first gave a short talk on his work and career covering his research interests focused on supercritical fluids, continuous reactions and their applications to Green Chemistry. He also talked about the Periodic Table of Videos, which he hosts.
Prof Poliakoff then answered questions from the audience for over an hour before further informal questions at the end. Our audience for the evening ranged from six to seventy and an excellent time was had by all.
During the evening we took a collection to support our Norman Lloyd Scholarships at Cardiff University and raised a further EUR 200 for the fund. Many thanks to all who contributed.

The Story: I was cleaning the house one day, listening to a little Snoop Dogg, thinking that my 5 year old daughter Alizay could not hear because I had it turned down pretty far and she was in her room playing. I seemed to have forgotten that kids hear everything you don't want them to. I was reminded when she came in and informed me that she knew the words to that song and sang me her version. I breathed a big sigh of relief that she didn't get the words quite right. I thought they were pretty funny though. - Submitted by: Amber Adamson

The Story: This was my brother's. I was singing the 'ain't no funk' version when it was plahing on my computer when out comes my brother going 'what's this anal funk thing?'.

An album you can sit back and sip a little whiskey to.
Paradise Valley, the sixth full length of John Mayer's career is the work of somebody who has proven a certain amount of acumen and ability, and seems tired with needing to be what everyone thinks he needs to be, he just is, and now it seems that Mayer is a little bit country and a little bit rock'n'roll. This time, Mayer asks you to sit back, erase your mind, and let you and you're glass of red wine breath. This is a time for redemption.
This record- Paradise Valley with its rootsy undertones and Frank Ocean subtle duet, is still distinctly John Mayer but with an underlying sense of growth. He's given up the bravado of the pop star that he felt he needed to be, given up the need to prove himself in the industry, which may be because he has reached a certain level of success that allows him this freedom, but also perhaps because of the onslaught of negative press he has gotten over the past few years for, well, for just being himself. Known more in the press for the slew of celebrity women he has bedded and the confusingly dickish interviews with magazines like Rolling Stone where he called former fling Jessica Simpson "Sexual Napalm" then for his music, Mayer needed to take a break from life for a while. So when a serious vocal chord injury hit him last year, and not only threatened his career but had him not singing and not speaking for over 6 months - a significant stretch of time for the outspoken 7 time grammy award winning singer, Mayer was forced out of the limelight and onto a ranch in Montana for a self-conscripted year of solitude and reflection. A remedy that proved to be just the medicine John Mayer needed for John Mayer.
This newest release is a testament to not only his virtuosic chops but his own music as well. Recorded live on the studio floor, this album belies a sense of maturity, and soul that we haven't heard before. Maybe it's because unlike his overly antiseptic previous releases this time his music is much more organic or as he calls it "warts and all". He recently sat down with CBC's Gian Gomeshi for his radio program Q (which if you haven't yet had the pleasure to hear is a Canadian Radio golden-child and rather sexy if I do say so myself) and gave a great interview about the album (stream here). Gomeshi is known for pushing his interviewees to be brutally honest with him, without ever pushing them too far. He displays incredible journalistic integrity and is never too fan-girly, even when he is a fan, which he clearly is of Mayer in this interview. Take a listen to the podcast below (go to about 20 minutes in to hear the interview with Mayer) where they touch on topics from the culture of outrage all the way to the mistakes he made on the mixing room floor.
Below I've attached the album available for streaming on Youtube right now. My favourite track is I Will Be Found (starts at 24:22) which is the first piano heavy track that Mayer has recorded on any record. If you're looking for more traditional Mayer crooning look to Wildfire (first track) or You're no one to someone let you down (starts at 29:51).

In Othello, what happens during the meeting between Roderigo and Iago at the end of Act I, Scene i?
At the end of Act I, Scene 1, Iago tells Rodrigo that, while he hates Othello, he must join him. In part, Iago is angry because Othello appointed another man as his lieutenant, and Iago plans to pretend to be faithful to Othello, but in reality will be like other servants who feign obedience to their masters but "keep yet their hearts attending on themselves" (Act I, Scene 1, line 54). In other words, he plans to pretend to be loyal while thinking about himself and his own advancement.
At the end of the scene, after he and Rodrigo wake up Desdemona's father, Brabantio, and tell him Desdemona fled to go to Othello, Iago tells Rodrigo he must return to Othello. Iago knows the government of Venice might scold Othello for stealing away with Desdemona, but the government needs Othello for their war against Cyprus because he is so talented at leading men in war. While Iago hates Othello, he will pretend to be loyal. He tells Rodrigo that Othello is likely to be at the Sagittary Inn. This way, Rodrigo will lead Brabantio to Othello, while Iago will still appear to be a faithful servant to Othello.
Having confessed and explained his hatred of Othello to Roderigo, Iago secured the help of Roderigo in his first stratagem against Othello. They go to the house of Brabantio where they awake the household with the news that Desdemona, Brabantio's beautiful daughter, has eloped with Othello. Having roused the household successfully, Iago decides to leave Roderigo before he has to face Othello, saying that although he desires to hurt and damage Othello, he is too popular at the moment to oppose openly:
Though I do hate him as I do hell-pains,
Yet for necessity of present life
I must show out a flag and sign of love
Which is indeed but a sign.
Having employed Roderigo to his dirty work for him, Iago therefore goes to be with Othello so he can appear innocent of the attack that he has unleashed on his master.


Cryogenic Tank Services
Brio Services is the leader in maintenance, rehabilitation, and painting for cryogenic and industrial tanks in the bulk gas industry and other industries. When you have tanks at your facility that store gas, chemicals, or liquids essential for your business, it’s critical that you properly maintain your tank at all times. As the premier tank painting contractors, we offer a wide range of services to ensure that your tank is well maintained and safe at all times. In addition, our tank painting services provide you with a clean aesthetic look for tanks of all sizes.
Cryogenic and Industrial Tank Painting
The right coat of paint can go a long way for your cryogenic storage tanks. Cryogenic tank coating is an essential part of any storage tank maintenance plan. When done properly, it helps tanks withstand extreme temperatures and harsh weather without rusting or corroding. Over time every outdoor storage tank requires regular painting to prevent small chips and cracks from becoming large rust spots, leading to leaks and other significant hazards. In addition, a painted and well-maintained cryogenic storage tank is more aesthetically pleasing.
For tanks that have not been cared for properly over time, we are skilled in-tank rehabilitation processes. We offer:
- Old decal removal
- Surface preparation with washing and rust treatment
- Epoxy primer re-coating
- Polyurethane topcoat
- Fresh decal and safety logo application
We focus on industrial tank painting and cryogenic tank maintenance, and that expertise and commitment to customer service are what led us to become the premier cryogenic tank painting provider in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
Air Separation Unit Painting Services
In order to remain safe and effective, air separation units need to be properly finished and painted to meet even the highest aesthetic and safety standards. The team at Brio Services specializes in air separation unit painting, offering high-quality coating for every industry. We understand how important it is to protect your ASUs from the effects of harsh weather, rust, corrosion, and leaks that compromise the useful life of your tank, and potentially the safety of those around it.
We provide full-service preparation and air separation unit painting, starting with a thorough cleaning, rust prevention application coating, and repainting to get it looking brand new again. No matter how big or extensive your ASU painting job is, Brio Services can handle the job. Our specialized knowledge, skills, experience, and extensive safety training helps us understand structural concerns and come up with solutions for any facility.
Cryogenic Tank De-Icing
Cryogenic liquid storage tanks and vaporizers require specific handling to ensure that your tank is not deteriorating and will be able to hold the liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen, liquid carbon dioxide, or other materials inside. Our de-icing services can provide you with peace of mind knowing that your tanks are not at risk for the hazards that come with ice buildup.
In addition to de-icing services for your immediate needs when you notice buildup on your cryogenic tanks and vaporizers, we can also provide maintenance and ongoing care for all the equipment in your facility. This ensures long-lasting and highly functional equipment, without the headaches and challenges that come from breakdowns or equipment malfunctions as a result of vaporizers icing over. We know how urgent it is, and have teams available to go anywhere in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico and get your vaporizers back in good working condition.
Cryogenic Tank Fireproofing
Cryogenic tanks that are not properly fireproofed can put your facility and your employees at risk. In order to maintain the highest standards of safety in your environment, you need to safeguard against the risks that come with storing flammable materials in cryogenic tanks.
The right type of fireproofing can protect against the everyday dangers and pressures that tanks are exposed to in most conditions. Whether it’s exposure to natural elements like weather, or interior facility conditions that put your tanks at higher risk, we can help. We thoroughly examine your entire facility, taking time to understand your industry and your specific situation, so we can apply the correct fireproofing solutions. We can also address necessary tank protections for everyday wear and tear to minimize all the risks you face.

Double Discovery Student Organization (DDSO)
Columbia College and Barnard College undergraduates volunteering with DDC automatically become part of The Double Discovery Student Organization (DDSO), an official Columbia University student group. These volunteers help promote DDC’s mission to increase high school graduation, enrollment and completion rates for first-generation college-bound youth from low income communities in Harlem and Washington Heights.
In addition to serving as a volunteer hub for students of all majors and interests who want to lay the groundwork for sustainable, equitable future societies, societies that place particular emphasis on their educational systems, DDSO also oversees an undergraduate education forum and pre-professional education society. Its education forum is composed of members of broad expertise and who want to learn from the ideas of their peers while contributing what they know to construct a more equitable future for all.
By holding weekly group meetings, hosting monthly guest speaker sessions with professionals ranging from classroom educators to grassroots activists, and by connecting Columbia students of diverse backgrounds and areas of study with one another, DDSO gives undergrads the opportunity to intellectually engage with the realities and possibilities of educational systems in the US and beyond.
DDSO also provides resources and networking opportunities to undergraduates interested in pursuing careers in education. But most importantly, DDSO gives undergrads the opportunity to translate their ideas and passion into concrete action through tutoring and mentoring with Columbia's Double Discovery Center. In the coming years, DDSO will work to develop partnerships with other student groups on campus in order to strengthen the coalition of groups working with and for DDC.
When you join the DDSO, you have the opportunity to step beyond Columbia campus and learn about the greater community and yourself. Being part of DDC’s 50-year legacy of exposing historically under-resourced students of Harlem and Washington Heights to the rigors of higher education while gaining a deeper understanding of the rich histories, experiences, and perspectives of low-income students and families, is an experience that stays with you for a lifetime. It is the essence of DDC’s continued success that is rooted in our double discovery approach.
Past volunteers have credited their work with the DDSO and DDC for advancing their understanding of education and igniting their passion for community engagement.

The Art Parts set that I used has six ATC sized pieces in it, three designs, two of each. This design has the rounded corners.
I coloured the background with a green Distress Ink Pad and then stamped randomly using the main background stamp from the Artfully Said Stamp Set by Studio 490.
The pocket watch comes in two pieces and is from the Art Parts set called Pocket Watches. You get three backs and three fronts in the pack. I painted the outside edges of the pocket watch using silver paint and the background a pale blue/grey. I stamped the Thinking of You message on the background a few times, as shown, before gluing the two pieces together.
The umbrella comes from the Art Parts set called Outdoor Art and the hood of the umbrella has been coloured with Distress Ink and then stamped with black Archival ink. The handle has been painted with silver paint. The little crow and the flower embellishments come from the Embellish Your Art range.
I finished the piece by rubbing some Creative Expressions Golden Light Gilding Wax around the edges of the ATC and to highlight the bird's wing.
One more ATC still to come.

|The German Huguenot Museum in Bad Karlshafen|
History - 7. The flight of the Huguenots
1. How the Huguenots got their name
For religious freedom
On the flight with all belongings
From the outset, it is important to emphasize that the Huguenots were not driven out of France. On the contrary, in October 1685 in the Edict of Fontainebleau Louis XIV forbade his Protestant subjects to leave the country. Onle the Reformed ministers had to leave France within two weeks, if they were not perpared to convert to Catholicism.
It is also important to stress that Huguenots were not leaving for economic reasons, i.e. to find more favourable living conditions in foreign parts. As a rule, they were leaving stable financial circumstances and had no conception of what awaited them in their land of refuge.
The only reason they had for leaving was their desire to find a haven where they could practise their faith freely without being persecuted. The Huguenots were religious refugees.
Not alone on their flight
The flight of French-speaking Reformed Protestants began in the 16th century. The first refugees were Walloons from the Netherlands, fleeing from the Spanish occupation forces. They found refuge in particular along the Rhine, in Wesel, Cologne, Frankfurt, Hanau and in the Palatinate. The Polish reformer John á Lasco (around 1500-1560) founded a Dutch Reformed Congregation in the town of Emden in 1544.
The Wallons were followed by the Huguenots. They left their French homeland in growing numbers in the course of the reign of Louis XIV as the repression intensified.
When the "Sun King" revoked the Edict of Nantes in Ocotober 1685 removing the last vestiges of religious freedom, around 170,000 Protestants left France within a few months.
The next to take the road to exile were the Waldensiens in the Duchy of Savoy. They were expelled by the Duke at the behest of Louis XIV. In 1702 the Protestants of Orange had to flee when the principality was annexed by Louis XIV.
Refugees crossed the Jura Mountains
Although the borders of France were strictly controlled, most of the fugitives managed to escape to Protestant countries. Some of them wrote about the hardship and anguish they suffered en route.
They headed for various destinations. From the north of France they crossed the border into Holland. From the west they boarded ships for England.
The great majority of the Huguenots lived in the south of France and many of them fled to Switzerland. The Swiss cantons negotiated with German princes as Switzerland was too overpopulated to keep them.
Arrival in Germany
A flying Huguenot family
Many headed for Frankfurt on Main where they received assistance and could contact the agents of the German princes who were interested in attracting suitable settlers. Their destinations had to be decided and transport had to be organized.
The exertions and privations of their flight can hardly be imagined. Many refugees, especially old people and children, took ill and died of hunger, cold and deficiency symptoms en route.
The problems and deprivations of the early years in the host countries explain why the death rate continued to be high. It took years and often decades for the refugees to settle down to a normal life.

Suppose you have a position for $100000 and you have been offered a 100:1 leverage by your broker. Here you have a position worth $1000000 but the amount that you have in your account is only $1000.
Now suppose that the trade works in your favor when you get to keep all the profits that are made with that position size. But if the trade does not go as per your analysis then this can cause your capital in the trading account to start dropping. Now suppose that the loss is higher than the $1000 that you had in your trading account. When this happens then you get a margin call and your trade will get closed automatically. This event is a negative one and you will in most cases not have any control over this. A margin call can come at an unexpected time and it can also be very expensive.
How to protect yourself in the futures market
To protect yourself and not receive a margin call you should be disciplined to not take more leverage than what you can handle. When the trader starts to get greedy and only focuses on the profits they do not prepare themselves for the risk that comes with the gains. They realize this only when the market starts to go in the opposite direction.
It is important that you never use your entire leverage amount and make sure that you trade in a position that lets you withstand any adverse movements that can happen in the market. If you keep a lot of room for the price to move then this will lead to a margin call.
Place a stop loss
To save yourself from a margin call, it is important that you use stop losses and proper risk management. Read review on the importance of placing a stop loss. You should be clear on the amount of risk that you can take. The stop loss that you take on trade should never be more than 2-3% of the entire capital amount that you have in your trade account. This also includes the maximum loss that you will make when you trade using leverage. Do not ever try to win the market as there is no sure shot or quick way to get rich trading in the market. It is about being slow and steady to win successfully in the market.
If you try to win in a single trade and trade with huge leverage then in most cases you will end up losing on the trade. This can wash away your entire trade capital. The greater is the opportunity for you the greater is the risk. If you cannot take the risk then you should not use that leverage.

Handler pointed out, though, that sometimes there's a silver lining. "Even when a movie ends up crappy, other good things can come out of it," she argued. "You met your fiancé on a movie."
"On a s--- movie," Berry confirmed, referring to "Dark Tide," a $25 million thriller that came out earlier this year and grossed less than $500,000 at the box office. The flick co-starred Olivier Martinez, whom the actress has been dating since filming wrapped in 2010.
Berry, who has a 4-year-old daughter, Nahla, with ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry, has said she had "given up" on marriage prior to meeting the 46-year-old French actor. (She was previously married to baseball player David Justice and R&B singer Eric Benet.) But Martinez won her over. They got engaged in January, and Berry confirmed the news in April.
"Who knew? I swore [marriage] off, right?" she joked to "Extra." "Never say never, people!"
