text: Resin-dentin relationship degradation is a major cause of repair failures. in Rhodamine B for 24 h. Confocal laser scanning microscopy was used to evaluate the permeability of cross layers to Rhodamine B. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukeys honest significant difference (HSD) checks. After four weeks, all BRM specimens exhibited a significantly smaller fluorescent area than SBF specimens, indicating a remineralization of the cross coating (P0.05). A clinically applicable biomimetic remineralization delivery program could decelerate connection degradation potentially. Keywords: Remineralization, Dentin, Adhesive resin, Biomimetic analog, Changed collagen, Confocal laser beam checking microscopy (CLSM), Fluorescence 1.?Launch The balance from the cross types level is compromised through the bonding of resin and dentin inadvertently. First of all, etching and rinsing can degenerate the denuded collagen fibrils inside the cross types level (Carrilho et al., 2007). Second, demineralized collagen fibrils might collapse via inter-peptide hydrogen bonding if they are air-dried during bonding, restricting the SNX-2112 infiltration of adhesive resin monomers (Pashley et al., 2007; Mai et al., 2009). Finally, due to liquid movement inside the dentinal tubules during resin infiltration, frustrated by the current presence of an optimistic pulpal pressure frequently, monomers just inadequately infiltrate the dentin (Wang and Spencer, 2005; Hashimoto, 2010; Lin et al., 2010). These procedural road blocks speed up in vivo degradation of cross types levels (Kim J. et al., 2010). Degradation takes place as soon as half a year after preliminary intraoral function (Kim J. et al., 2010). It really is prompted by hydrolysis of polymerized hydrophilic resin elements and degradation of water-rich suboptimally, resin-sparse collagen matrices by matrix metalloproteinases and cysteine cathepsins (Tjaderhane et al., 1998; Pashley et al., 2004; Liu et al., 2011). Subsequently, the affected cross types level causes leakage in the nano-space from the collagen fibres, leading to recovery failing (Li et al., 2000). Many strategies have already been created to stabilize the connection between amalgamated resin RAC1 and dentin and therefore prevent restoration failing (Liu et al., 2011). Biomimetic remineralization is normally a recent strategy using analogs of matrix protein to steadily replace drinking water with intrafibrillar and extrafibrillar apatites to be able to exclude exogenous collagenolytic enzymes and fossilize endogenous collagenolytic enzymes (Zhang, 2003; Tay et al., 2007; Pashley and Tay, 2008). Many biomimetic remineralization research have used transmitting electron microscopy SNX-2112 to judge the user interface between adhesive and resin and the amount of remineralization (Kinney et al., 2003; Carrilho et al., 2005; Wojtowicz and Trebacz, 2005; Tay and Pashley, 2009; Gu et al., 2010; Kim Y.K. et al., 2010b). Confocal laser beam checking microscopy (CLSM) using Rhodamine B uptake by demineralized SNX-2112 or incompletely resin-infiltrated collagen fibres appears to be a appealing new solution to assess remineralization results (Kim J. et al., 2010). Therefore, the current research aimed to make use of CLSM to judge three industrial representative bonding adhesive resins predicated on three different functioning systems. The null-hypotheses in regards to to Rhodamine B uptake from the cross types layers to be tested were: (1) there is no difference between a two-step etch-and-rinse adhesive resin, a self-etching one-step two-bottle adhesive resin, and a self-etching one-bottle adhesive resin; (2) the placement of the experimental specimens inside a remineralization medium has no effect in comparison to a control group; and, (3) the period of immersion has no effect. 2.?Materials and methods 2.1. Tooth preparation Ninety-six undamaged human being premolars were extracted and stored in 0.5% (5 g/L) thymol-saturated isotonic saline solution at 4 C. The teeth were collected after the individuals informed consents were acquired under a protocol authorized by the Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Dentistry in the Zhejiang University or college, China. All teeth were used within three months after extraction. A flow chart of the experimental process can be found in Fig. ?Fig.11. Fig. 1 Experimental set-up used in this study The occlusal enamel was eliminated perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of each tooth using a slow-speed diamond saw (Isomet, Buehler, Lake Bluff, IL, USA) under water cooling.

What will happen at Christmas? The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, was asked about this issue during a press conference after the approval of the new state of alert to stop the expansion of the coronavirus in our country, one of the most affected in the world by the pandemic. At the moment, according to his intervention, it is unclear to what extent the new standard could affect the festivals in Madrid.
During his speech, the Chief Executive did not respond directly to this question, although he stated, first, that the Government “does not intend to be on high alert for a day. more or a day less to contain the virus. “Sánchez indicated that the state of alert” is a constitutional instrument in the hands of the Congress of Deputies, as well as its extension. ”
“The Department of Health will appear every fortnight in Congress to report on the progress of the pandemic,” said the president, who also urged communities to “do their own work in their regional parliaments, while they “It will be the delegated authorities and, consequently, those who manage daily life in a much more direct way.
Sánchez assured that “the responsibility is guaranteed and the balance of fundamental rights”, and added: “What the Spaniards need to know is that this decision to prolong the state of alarm for six months obeys to scientists and technicians “. All with the objective, as he continued, of “bending the curve, keeping the virus at bay and entering a much more favorable scenario with conditions different from those we will have in the months to come”.
He recognized that “the state of alert restricts several fundamental rights, such as the limitation of night mobility”. This measure “would last in principle six months, but could be modified depending on what is happening with the pandemic”. It will also depend “on the ability of the communities to demarcate the enclosure, as has been done so far”.
Thus, he concluded in this regard that “the Interterritorial Council will be the space where these types of decisions are taken, but the limitation to fundamental rights that affect the entire territory will remain in force throughout the state of alert”. Unless “the Congress of Deputies decides otherwise in the coming months”.

Who said that thing about needing to work 10,000 hours in order to be an expert in your craft? I thought it was a Renaissance painter, or someone romantic, but Google says it was Malcolm Gladwell, who is a very much alive and current journalist – does that make the quote less timeless?
Google also has many many links to articles debunking the statement. But whatever the origin or veracity of the measurement, the basic idea behind it is true: if you want to get good at something, do it. A lot. You know, practice makes perfect and all.
A writer in my prompt writing group opened her piece this past week, and I am paraphrasing: I am scared. Now to sit and do the thing that I think about all day. She was referring to writing. And I was right there with her. The idea of writing is a constant on my mind – a tangle of desire and fear, need and doubt.
Part of the doubt and fear comes from the fact that the writing idea is jockeying for position with other desires and needs: running and/or yoga, cleaning, organizing, feeding myself, showering, and perhaps most loudly, sitting passively and consuming entertainment via a screen. And this long list only gets its turn on the agenda when the children are sleeping or otherwise occupied. All in all, I have 2 to 3 hours per day to do with what I will. And I have been very grateful this summer as I have realized how rich I am with time compared to last summer, when my responsibilities included all of the above PLUS a newborn with no set schedule. The fact that Cole naps consistently and reliably, and Maya is at school three days a week, has afforded me possibility and autonomy that seemed a distant and unattainable luxury not so long ago.
Do I feel my absolute best when I am writing? Yes. Do I long for the process when I am not doing it? Not exactly. I’m too tired. The only thing I long for is relaxation, the end of the day, quiet, sleeping kids, and perhaps American Ninja Warrior. See? Even in my downtime I can’t handle plot or story. Just pure mindless repetition.
The leader of my prompt group, Nancy Peacock, wrote in a Facebook post, ” I can only write a few hours each day…” and I add phrases like this to my long list of “Why I don’t write today” – because I cannot give the time it deserves.
It is a common issue I observe with myself: If I cannot give it my all, I will give nothing. If I cannot do the project in its entirety, I will do nothing. Even when it is so obvious that just a part of the whole would be a big improvement in my life. I can’t make it to the gym for an hour class? Then would only running one mile and dedicating 15 minutes be worth it? Better than nothing. I cannot deep clean the bathroom with a toddler underfoot, but I could at least wipe the toothpaste off the counter, right? Better than nothing. That’s going to have to be my new mantra: better than nothing. Of course I can’t give anything my all – heck, Maya is watching The Lego Movie and I’m batting Cole’s hands from the keyboard as I write this – so neither the kids nor this post is getting my full attention, but hey, I wrote this, and it’s better than nothing!
Perhaps the problem is that I have it in my head that I can only be writing when I can dedicate a string of hours, uninterrupted. So therefore, never. Perhaps if I see the process as something that CAN be done in starts and fits – in 15 minute increments, then maybe I can build something. A daily practice, small bits of flash fiction, pieces of a larger story, a familiarity with my characters…something; anything is better than nothing.

As consumption increases, the number of things we purchase is also increasing. This trend is called “the disposable income effect”. It means that we are spending more and more money to buy more and more things, from electronics to clothing, and more and more food. In addition to purchasing more, we are also spending more time looking for things and buying things we don’t need.
It’s now harder than ever to find something we need. When the stock market crashed, it was like the end of the world. Now, we have to constantly search. Everything is out there—totally.
The disposable income effect is the phenomenon that occurs when people spend more money on buying more stuff and less time on looking for things that we actually need. As the effects of the recession worsen and people have less money to spend, more people are going to cut back on spending time looking for things.
Here’s where the disposable income effect kicks in. People are spending more time looking and less time actually doing. This is true whether it’s buying clothes or going out to eat. It doesn’t matter if you’re spending more time looking for a new pair of shoes or a new car or buying an app or buying a new smartphone or watching Netflix. You’re not using your time.
If you want to spend more time looking, spending less time on things like a car, having a more formal meal, and buying a new pair of shoes, then you will have less disposable income to spend. You also have more time to get more money. And you dont have to have a car to spend more time looking for things.
The only real way to increase consumption is to reduce your disposable income. To increase disposable income, you have to spend less time looking or have less time on things like a car. A car just takes time to research and plan and it takes time to actually drive. And when youre not driving, you have to look for things in ways you never would have without a car.
The new trailer starts with a brief story about the story of the two group that make up the party. When the group decides to move on, the trailer will be changed to tell us more about who was in control of who they were and whose actions they were taking. The main character of the trailer also gets to talk about her family, her friends, and her problems, but she doesn’t say much.
People who drive, and drive a lot, are not the type of people you want to be driving around. People who drive don’t have the mental ability to think “I’d rather not”. People who drive can get to the point where they think you’re an idiot and will drive through a red light because they feel obligated to. The trailer seems to be about how the car is now disposable.
A car is not disposable. It is a means of transportation, and people who are taking it can do what they want with it. That is, if they can convince enough people to accept their idea of what a car is, then it can be the thing that does the most damage. The problem is the people who buy them, the people who get them, and the people who use them are not the ones that need to think about this.
It seems like a good idea to have people in our lives that are disposable. However, the fact is that people have a tendency to get out of hand quickly. It’s not a good idea to have people you love become a drain on your life.

TriMet's July ridership numbers are in. And they don't look so good. Stats from last month show 8.5 million trips last month on buses, MAX and WES —
an 8 percent drop from July 2008.
Bus lines during rush hour took the biggest hit — with ridership down 17.3 percent from last year at the same time. Though still down overall, weekend trips suffered the smallest drop with just a 5 percent decline.
TriMet spokeswoman Mary Fetsch attributes the decline to a "double whammy"- double-digit unemployment
rates and cheaper gas
compared to July's record $4 plus per gallon
"It doesn't mean anything," Fetsch says of the ridership drop. "Transit ridership tracks what is going on in the economy ... Eight and half million is still a solid number."

Legal maneuvering over back pay continues more than six months after an arbitrator ordered the rehiring of three Will County deputy coroners fired in what was characterized as a political purge.
According to Will County labor attorney Nick Sakellariou, arbitrator Stephen Briggs has authorized subpoenas seeking the federal income-tax returns of William Ferguson, Dean Kane and Thomas Tezak.
In August, Briggs ordered the three reinstated with more than 19 months of back pay.
The tax returns are being sought to establish how much the three earned at other jobs from the time of their firings in early 1993 until their rehiring in September.
Their lost wages from the county totaled almost $200,000, but Briggs has said interim earnings at other jobs must be deducted from the final figure.
Sakellariou described as "unacceptable" the documents the three have produced so far.
He is seeking tax returns for five years, the three immediately preceding the firings and the two afterward.
The subpoenas must be answered by April 22, the next hearing date set by Briggs.
Ferguson said he does not believe the county has a right to subpoena his tax records but said he would be willing to voluntarily show the returns to county officials. "I just don't want them to copy them so somebody can pass them around," Ferguson said.
Ferguson, a Republican, has entered the race against Democratic Coroner Patrick O'Neil, who is seeking a second term in November's election. O'Neil fired the three deputies shortly after he took office in December 1992.
In ordering them reinstated, Briggs ripped O'Neil for his decision to replace the three workers with contractual employees, calling it an apparent attempt by the coroner to "reward his political allies with jobs."
Ferguson faces opposition from George R. Morgan, a forensic dentist, in the March 19 Republican primary. O'Neil is unchallenged in the Democratic primary.

What’s the Big Idea?
There’s a revolution going on in neuroscience, says science writer Kayt Sukel, and it’s happening on two fronts. One way the science is changing: researchers are finally beginning to include both male and female subjects in their studies. Another is epigenetics, a new way of understanding the centuries-old nature versus nurture debate.
Watch Kayt Sukel discuss epigenetics:
Epigeneticists look at the different ways a gene is expressed over an individual organism’s lifetime, rather than the way they’re passed along over an epoch. In the epigenetic framework, your genes are seen as predilections, not as destiny: switches that can be turned off or turned on by your environment, without changing the underlying DNA sequence. For example, some people have a predisposition to get psoriasis, an autoimmune disorder of the skin. But it takes a traumatic physical or emotional event for the disease to actually appear.
What’s the Significance?
We’re not slaves to our biology, and neither are we shaped entirely by our circumstances. Instead, we’re the product of a complex process of interactions between our bodies and environment. So what does that tell us about the neurobiology of love?
“In the studies that have been done thus far, there is a unique signature for passionate love, for attachment, for maternal love, and even for unconditional love,” she says—meaning that these emotions can be traced through functional magnetic imaging. Researchers show subjects a photo of their beloved during an MRI scan, and trace the area of the brain that lights up. But like all biology, the full story is more elaborate, and far more interesting.
It’s possible to measure it that way, but again, we have to go back to that idea of, what are these neuroimaging studies really telling us? Right now, [MRI tracks] oxygen molecules as they move through the brain. And the idea is, the more blood that flows through a particular region, the more it’s being used. So we say that a neuroimaging study tells us this part of the brain is responsible for that. But it’s correlational. We’re now learning that it’s not just an area, it’s how a group of areas work together and how these circuits work together that are more important for particular behaviors.
In other words, if you’re looking for proof, you’re not going to find it. If you’re interested in the discovery, that’s exactly what Kayt will be writing about in her new blog, World in Mind.

Croatia to Cut Employer Health Contributions to 7% by 2016
Croatia plans to cut employers’ mandatory health-fund contributions by almost a half to seven percent by 2016 to boost the country’s competitiveness, Finance Minister Slavko Linic said.
“We plan to have this done by the end of our mandate,” Linic told entrepreneurs at a conference in Zagreb today.
The nine-month-old government of Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic reduced health contributions to 13 from 15 percent earlier this year.

My work is about creating a pictorial language that uses illusionism and artifice to question value, hierarchy and notions of identity, specifically gender. In referencing the traditional language of sculpture I am interested in exploring the role of the sculptural object and its relationship to the viewer.
The act of making is fundamental to my practice. I like to fetishise materials to the point where they become overloaded with colour and surface, making them distracting and highly theatrical. This is combined with materials that have a low-fi quality, such as duct tape and plastic bags, giving the appearance of materials being literally ‘thrown together’, adding a DIY quality to the work.
This visual device employs the concept of the masquerade, the notion of concealing something for a pleasurable purpose. Rachel Harrison’s work can be read in a similar way, as Gilles Deleuze writes “simulation designates the power to produce an effect (…) it is in the sense of ‘costume’, or even better, of masks, expressing a process of disguise where, behind each mask there is still another”.
The juxtaposition of order, process and immediacy disrupts the formal hierarchy of the work and attempts to create a visual discord that plays on the viewer’s aesthetic sensibility.
Humour is integral to the work. Sexual innuendo and the notion of the ridiculous is a necessary tool in order to question the role and identity of objects. By playing around with monumentality and scale I’m trying to subvert notions of sculptural legacy and conventional ways of reading art. I consider my work to function as props within our world of consumerism, popular culture and its fetishisation of objects.

Dental bonding is a quick and non-invasive way to improve the appearance of your smile. Dental bonding uses composite resin, the same material we use for fillings, to add to your existing tooth structure, changing the shape of your tooth or repairing it after a chip.
Composite resin comes in a wide variety of shades so we can match it precisely to your natural teeth. Composite is incredibly durable and will last for many years, barring secondary decay or teeth grinding.
Are You a Good Candidate for Bonding?
Do you want to make small improvements to your teeth?
If you have a narrow gap or small chips, you might benefit from dental bonding. While dental bonding cannot solve every cosmetic issue, it does allow us to complete treatment in one dental appointment without the removal of healthy tooth structure. This is why it stands out from other cosmetic dentistry options.
Are your teeth as white as you want them to be?
If your teeth are as white as you would like them to be, you might be ready for dental bonding. If you would like a whiter smile, you might consider professional teeth whitening, which we offer at Ruggless Dental, before getting started. Composite does not whiten like your natural teeth do, so addressing the color of your smile first is important.
Do you take care of your teeth and gums?
Brushing and flossing is the best way you can take care of your teeth at home and is essential to good overall health. Other preventive dentistry options include fluoride, sealants, and wearing a nightguard, when necessary. Bonding can break and chip just like your natural teeth, and even if your tooth has a significant amount of dental bonding, it is still susceptible to decay and gum infections.
Contact Us to Learn More!
For more information about dental bonding in Springfield, give us a call. The best way to determine if a certain treatment is right for you is to schedule an exam with Dr. Ruggless. We are here to help!

Harvard University in the US is going to remove the word “master” from academic titles, after protests from students who claimed the title had echoes of slavery.
House masters, in charge of residential halls at the university, will become known as “faculty deans”.
Harvard Law School is also deciding whether to change its official seal, because of links to slavery.
US campuses have faced a series of protests over allegations of racism.
Harvard has not accepted that the use of “master” was a link to slavery, but it has responded to a campaign for a name change.
It will mean a change in job title for 24 members of staff – but will not affect other uses of “master”, such as a master’s level degree.
Student campaigners are also calling for a change in the official seal of Harvard Law School, with a sit-in being held this week.
The seal includes the coat of arms of 18th Century college donor Isaac Royall, who as well as establishing the college’s first professorship in law, was a notoriously brutal slaveholder.
A decision on whether to change the seal is expected to be made soon.
Disputes about race and identity have affected many US campuses.
Last month, Amherst College, in Massachusetts, accepted student demands to drop links with its informal mascot, Jeffery Amherst, an 18th Century general accused of advocating infecting native Americans with smallpox.
And there have been sit-ins at Princeton in a bid to rename a school named after Woodrow Wilson, because of claims the former US president held racist views.
The protests by US students are part of a wider international campaign challenging historical titles, statues and emblems.
But further demands for “safe space”, where some students have called for the right to study away from attitudes or behaviour they find offensive, have been rejected by university leaders and others who have argued for the importance of protecting free speech.
In South Africa, a statue of Cecil Rhodes was removed from the University of Cape Town, with protesters attacking the statue as an emblem of colonialism and apartheid.
But a call to remove a statue of the 19th Century politician from Oriel College in Oxford University was rejected.
Louise Richardson, the university’s vice-chancellor, said students needed to be able to debate and confront “ideas that make them uncomfortable”.

For gender illusionist aficionados, this year’s Mummers Parade just got to be a lot less of a drag. The centuries-long Philadelphia tradition, in which local clubs create elaborate costumes and sets and parade through town, will include professional drag queens for the first time in the event’s history.
The Mummers are no strangers to dressing in women’s clothes -- it’s been a customary part of the parade since the 1800s. However, this is the first time that nightclub performers will be involved. This New Year’s Day, ten queens will introduce the “Fancy Brigade” division at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Finally, drag is de rigueur in Philly -- if only for one day. It’s sure to be a fun, fierce and glamorous occasion. Mum’s the word!

Work with LifeSpan to design a custom immunohistochemistry to address your specific biological question. Outsource the entire localization process without having to
worry about finding and characterizing target specific antibodies, sourcing and validating difficult-to-find tissues, and having the ability to interpret the resulting
immunostaining in relation to complex human pathologies.
TCR Screening Services
Test your therapeutic antibodies in immunohistochemistry against a broad panel of normal frozen human tissue types in order to determine potential unintended binding.
Our non-GLP TCR services are designed on the FDA recommendation outlined in their "Points to Consider in the Manufacture and Testing of Monoclonal Antibody Products for Human Use".
Less than 1.0 EU/µg protein (determined by LAL method).
Lyophilized from 0.2 µm filtered PBS, pH 7.4.
It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 µg/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in ddH2O. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.
Lyophilized protein should be stored at less than -20°C. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-7°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at less than -20°C for 3 months.
CDH11 / Cadherin 11 is a type II classical cadherin from the cadherin superfamily, integral membrane proteins that mediate calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion. Mature cadherin proteins are composed of a large N-terminal extracellular domain, a single membrane-spanning domain, and a small, highly conserved C-terminal cytoplasmic domain. Type II (atypical) cadherins are defined based on their lack of a HAV cell adhesion recognition sequence specific to type I cadherins.

Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) in Limpopo is concerned about new infections in unborn babies as pregnant women are not being tested due to the shortage of HIV test kits.
Pregnant women not being tested
The local TAC branch has confirmed that several clinics in the Vhembe and Mopani districts are without HIV test kits, resulting in patients being sent back or referred to other institutions without being tested. Hospitals have also been impacted, with Elim Hospital – the oldest public health facility in the province among them. Here too patients are being sent away without being tested, despite their willingness to know their HIV status.
“We are worried about the shortage of HIV test kits in government medical centres, which include hospitals and clinics. It is negatively affecting our fight against HIV as pregnant women are not being tested, which might lead to babies being born HIV positive. And the worst part is that the Department of Health has kept quiet and they are not doing anything to address the situation,” said TAC Provincial Manager, Moses Makhomsani.
He said they have been trying to address the situation with the provincial department of health “for quite some time” without success, as no one from the department is willing to take responsibility.
'I was so disappointed'
“We are also concerned about people who are being raped and sent home without being tested for HIV due to the shortage of kits at the clinics, as this might lead to new unnecessary infections. The department is failing the nation as they cannot encourage people to get tested and know their status, but then fail to supply test kits. This is a crisis we do not need as a country,” he said.
“I was so disappointed when I went to Elim Hospital hoping to get tested for HIV, only to be told to come back another day. I was told that the hospital was out of the testing kits, which left me asking myself how come a hospital as big as this one can run out of the kits. I am still shocked even now,” said Sylvester Mulaudzi.
Earlier this year Health-e reported on poor service and shocking conditions at Elim Hospital, and how this was negatively affecting thousands of residents who rely on the hospital for medical services as it’s one of the more easily accessible hospitals in the district.
“How can a hospital be out of test kits, whereas they keep on encouraging people to get tested? How do they expect us to get tested when the hospital does not even have test kits?” said Mulaudzi. A spokesperson at the hospital said they did have a few test kits, but they were extremely limited and reserved for pregnant women only.
However, Limpopo Department of Health spokesperson Thabiso Teffo refuted the TAC’s allegations, saying that the institutions have enough stock.
“I can assure you that all these claims are not true. We have enough test kits at all those mentioned clinics and hospitals. It is just that we no longer do confirmatory tests if a person tests negative. We have never received any complaints from any of our institutions regarding stock shortages,” said Teffo. - Health-e News.

"Vulnerable" Series - A.I.R. Studio Paducah
Jul 15, 2018
Below, is the complete set of self-portraits done during my residency at:
A.I.R. Studios of Paducah, KY. (7.2-7.16.18)
Each Self-Portrait was made with charcoal pencil, washes of ink, and colored chalk pastel. They are all approximately 25 x 27" in size, and (shown below) accompanied by the letters I wrote to my grandfather.
The Letters I wrote to him reflect the two weeks leading up to his passing. They were intended to accompany the portraits they stood next to, but also were a response on my part. A written response to the reflections I was making internally as I swallowed the pain and mustered the courage to finish this series. It was so hard to keep attention to the task at hand during tragedy, and as you can see the dates of execution of portraits, Phase 1 and Phase 2, took many days. They hold a nucleus of raw response I was having internally, but also gave understanding to my pose and gaze within each portrait.
This Residency tested me; It tested my faith, my emotions, my family, my skillsets, and my studio practice. The circumstances around these past two weeks, made my journey the toughest stretch in life I have ever experienced on my own. However, I learned valuable lessons quickly; I learned to restore faith in your neighbors, to embrace change, to stay positive during tragedy - and (eventually) take the opportunity to reflect on those experiences through ANY form of art. One side of the coin is the process of grieving, but the other side of the coin is obtaining the chance to reflect, express, and learn from what you're feeling. Both pieces are equally vital.
He was my rock, my best friend, and my guiding light as a young man and as a professional. I will always hold those memories of happiness together, at the forefront of what I do.
Phase 1: July 1-July 4
How is it that you see me? Do I give you the sense that I am far from home, or do I give the impression I have grown up here. Do I spew confidence like few can, or do I seem to fold like a cheap tent. As I sit here inches above you I get to judge. To be the one behind your screen and in a cloud. I get to be the gaze on the wall casting from afar in hopes to cover up my feelings of
Phase 2: July 5-July 10
As the world feels at a standstill, I struggle to focus. I feel a struggle to keep direction, a clear mind or even sanity at best. I gave my grandfather everything: My time, my love, my affection, and my helping hand. He was my best friend in life and always will be. Once I meet him in the sky I’ll be able to tell him, face to face, how much he meant to myself and others. How much he meant to my friends, my childhood, and the betterment of the people in his community.
Until then, I will spend every waking day thinking of you and looking forward to the day that our family can reunite with one another. I have no choice but to let the pain of mourning a loss run its course and try to muster the courage to return home safely. As my mind is in shambles, I have no one to comfort me. It is truly dark in here even with all the world’s lights on.
Phase 3: July 11
Head back on its pivot. I had buried the hatchet at home and rid myself of as much pain as I could feel losing my best friend. Now as I return to silence, it has gone from being melancholy to nurturing. With a deep breath, chin up, and feet down on the floor - I look out the front windows with a new feeling in my heart.
I now remember what his wishes are for me.
Phase 4: July 12- July 13
Coming home brought me to a state of temporary comfort. With every passing hour after he passed, I find it slightly more doable to manage through my future. However, as I sit here, (battered but unbroken) I gain anxiety knowing I will have to conjure the fortitude to carry the weight of life when I return home. With so many moving parts, it scares me to believe that I have been relatively LUCKY up to this point. And with tragedy just being another fact of life, I start to recalibrate life’s expectations ever so slightly.
Rhapsody in Blue may have a second verse...
Phase 5: July 14- July 15
Sitting in the coffee shop, I watch all the people inside and outside enjoy their mornings together. This is what it is all about. I sit here isolated knowing what I come home to.
But that is okay. The mountains have been climbed in my mind. I come back to the valley, on even footed ground. When I stare above, it is nothing but clear blue skies.
Clear blue skies.
With that I want to give a special thanks to Alonzo Davis, Michael Terra, and Tanya Gadbaw for reaching out and helping me during my time in need. I also want to thank the people of the Lowertown Arts District for welcoming me in to their community with open arms. Wonderful studios, galleries, and organizations run by caring people who do great work.

INCENTIVES for new ventures that will create jobs and boost business activities in the countryside are among the promises made under the 2017 Investment Priorities Plan (IPP).
Approved by President Rodrigo Duterte, the IPP is a list of priority investment activities that may qualify for incentives.
The new IPP has a broadened coverage to attract new capital in sectors and regions, and address the inequality of growth and employment.
For instance, under the newly approved IPP, the BOI is giving incentives to new IT-BPM projects that locate in other regions where investments are badly needed.
“We wanted these incentives to trickle down to the sectors and to the members of the society who needed it most,” said Fe Del Rosario, officer-in-charge of BOI’s Investment Policy and Planning Service, during the agency’s 2017 IPP Regional Roadshow-Cebu leg yesterday.
Another updated feature of the 2017 IPP is the entitlement to income tax holiday equivalent to 100 percent of training expenses for IT-BPM and shipping industries that help their workers update their skills.
“Our human resource is our natural magnet for investors (to come). The government would like to help industries equip their workforce with the right skills to be at par with the neighboring countries,” said del Rosario.
She added this incentive will help the country solidify its position, particularly in outsourcing, which now faces tougher competition from India. Another target, the shipping industry, is also seeing more advanced technology being used.
A recent Tholons report predicted that more than half of the workforce in IT-BPM in leading outsourcing locations, including the Philippines, may become irrelevant in the next few years unless significant re-skilling is done.
The IT-BPM industry is embarking on a six-year plan that targets nearly $40 billion in revenues and 1.8 million more jobs by 2022. By the end of 2022, the industry is seen producing 1.8 million jobs, of which more than 500,000 will come from outside the National Capital Region.
New priority activities outlined in the IPP are in the fields of manufacturing, including agri-processing; agriculture, fishery and forestry; strategic services; infrastructure and logistics, including those of local government units and public-private partnerships; and health care services, including drug rehabilitation.
Mass housing, inclusive business models, environment and climate change, innovation drivers, energy and export businesses are also included.
Del Rosario said the new IPP also gives incentives to ventures that employ or partner with micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), for the sector to become part of the larger production network.
The BOI remains on track toward reaching its P500-billion target. Investment projects registered with the agency already reached P272.7 billion, up by 30 percent from the P210.4 billion recorded in the same period last year. (KOC)

I will be having my new townhouse painted the same color throughout. What brand of paint do you recommend? My painter likes Benjamin Moore.
Go with your painter's suggestion. Keep in mind that BM sells various grades. You might want to request upgraded quality. Your painter likely receives discounts by dealing with the BM store, and probably has an account there. Its certainly a brand I have had success with for both application and durability.
best paint brand???????????????
texcote or elastomeric paint ?

With flavorful pork, rice, black eyed peas, and veggies, these Hoppin’ John bowls take about 30 minutes to make and will really fill you up in a healthy way.
You just can’t beat good old fashioned Southern cooking, but as you may well know, it’s not known for being very time friendly. And right now, with all the spring activities starting up I need time friendly meals so I can get everything done! Today I’ve taken one of my favorites, Hoppin’ John and turned it into a easy 30 minute meal in one dish. You might think of Hoppin’ John as a just a New Year’s tradition, but we enjoy it all year round. Maybe it brings us more luck that way?
Of course these Hoppin’ John bowls have black eyed peas and rice, but I’ve also added sauteed Smithfield® Garlic and Herb Loin Filet, green peppers, cherry tomatoes, and green onions. With flavorful pork, rice, black eyed peas, and veggies, these colorful bowls have all the important food groups and will really fill you up.
Have you guys ever tried any of the Smithfield® marinated fresh pork loins before? What’s nice about these pork loins is how versatile and how quick they are to prepare. Even on a busy night, you can get dinner on the table in 30 minutes. The majority of the work for this dish is simply in the prep work of chopping the veggies and cutting up the pork loin filet, which is done as the rice is cooking. Here’s the easiest way I’ve found to cut down a pork loin filet. Always trim away the tough silverskin first. After the silverskin has been removed, slice the loin in 1 inch thick slices. Then trim the fat off each slice and dice into bite size pieces. When you are done, you’ll have small lean pieces of pork that will brown quickly and yet remain tender.
What’s your go to meal for busy nights? I’d love to hear your meal in one combinations. If quick meal options are something you’d like more of, be sure and check out Smithfield’s website for inspiration.
- 1 cup long grain white rice
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 2 (15 ounce) cans black eyed peas, drained and rinsed
- 1 Smithfield® Garlic and Herb Loin Filet
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 4 green onions
- 1/8 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- In a medium sized pan, bring the rice, broth, and cajun seasoning to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cover with a lid. Simmer 15 minutes.
- While the rice is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Dice the green pepper. Cut the cherry tomatoes in halves, and finely slice the green onions. Set aside.
- With a sharp knife trim away the silverskin from the Smithfield Garlic and Herb Loin Filet. Cut the loin into 1 inch slices and then into bite sized pieces.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the pork loin and brown in the oil for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally so that all the sides are browned evenly. At this time add the drained and rinsed black eyed peas to the rice mixture and cover again to heat through. Add the green peppers and tomatoes to the pan with the pork. Season the veggies with 1/8 teaspoon of cajun seasoning, if desired. Saute for 4-5 minutes.
- To serve, layer the rice and peas in the bottom of the bowls, then add the pork and veggies, and top it off with the sliced green onions. Serve with hot sauce if desired.

"IN GRAVITATION" (CD + DVD)
In this album, Joseph Loibant provides his music with a visual dimension, also created by him. The CD contains the audio recording (only music). The DVD contains the video album version (music + animations).
In the CD, Loibant skillfuly utilizes elements from Rock, Techno and Synth-Pop to combine them into a result that has little to do with his previous works. In the video album, music and image mutually enhance their artistic strenght; for many music lovers, there is an additional impact when the music is complemented with the suitable images.
The music is mostly rhythmic, even though there also are quiet passages. The rhythms tend to be based on the percussion typical of Rock as a general rule. Powerful bass lines increase the strength of the rythms. The sound effects that come and go throughout the entire album are also an important part of rythm and melody. The compositions also have Ambient traits and some light touches of Jazz.
The animations on the DVD are kaleidoscopic, even oneiric, with ethereal images, cosmic textures and a subliminal futuristic aesthetics that make of this video album an ideal vehicle to let imagination soar through unearthly worlds.
The choreographic style of the animations, full of spectacular metamorphosis and hypnotic colors, always bringing to the mind of the observer the sensation of seeing The Impossible.

The tale of a successful capital campaign is often told by the numbers. And by that yardstick, UMBC’s Exceptional by Example Campaign was a success.
The campaign exceeded its $100 million goal by $15 million – and strengthened UMBC in ways that improve access to the university, attract and retain the best students and faculty and support vital research.
But look past the spreadsheets and statistics and you’ll find stories of individual people – those who gave to the campaign and those whose lives and education were advanced in the effort.
Read the full story in UMBC Magazine‘s Fall 2011 issue, as well as an interview with four prominent alumni, including past (Anita Maddox Jackson ’80) and present (Bennett Moe ’88) presidents of the UMBC Alumni Board, a long-term donor (Emmerson Small ’74), and UMBC’s vice president of Institutional Advancement (Greg Simmons ’04).
On May 23, UMBC’s alumni community grew by more than 2000 members at the university’s 41st annual spring commencement ceremonies. UMBC Magazine would like to introduce you to four graduates who have joined the select ranks of Retriever alumni – Phillip Fitzgerald, Donna Viola, Michael Young, and Brian Mathew Courson – and encourage you to check out more at our Class of 2011 website.
Eduardo Gonzalez ’06, Aaron Merki ’05, and Alicia Wilson ’04, all political science graduates, were named to The Daily Record’s 2011 list of “Twenty in Their 20s” award honorees. Merki was also the recipient of the 2010 UMBC Rising Star Award for young alumni service and is an associate at Venable, LLP. Wilson was the (inaugural) 2009 UMBC Rising Star Award winner and is an associate at Gordon, Feinblatt, Rothman, Hoffberger & Hollander, LLC. Gonzalez writes for the Daily Record’s “Generation J.D.” blog.
Read more about Merki and Wilson on our UMBC Alumni Awards page:
Benyam Kinde ’10, biological sciences, is one of 10 students in 2011 to be named a Gilliam Fellow by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI). Kinde, who was UMBC’s 2010 valedictorian and a member of the 18th cohort of the Meyerhoff Scholars Program, is in the Harvard-MIT combined MD-PhD Program.
In just over 40 years, UMBC has progressed from a fledgling university to a nationally renowned institution of higher education. And when it comes to areas such as undergraduate teaching or encouraging diversity in scientific and technological disciplines, UMBC is now regularly mentioned in the same breath with Harvard University, MIT and Stanford University.
But that growth didn’t happen without a lot of help. And an important element in helping UMBC rise in national prestige has been the university’s successful Exceptional by Example campaign.
This year, the board of UMBC’s Alumni Association has recognized the key role played by its alumni in the campaign by awarding Gene Trainor ’86, health science and policy, the 2010 Distinguished Service Award.
“People know what NPR sounds like,” says Vikki Valentine ’96, English. “But they don’t really know what it looks like. And on the Web, it’s what you look like that’s important.” That’s the daily challenge for Valentine, who is a senior editor in NPR’s science division – and recipient of the 2010 UMBC Alumna of the Year Award in the Humanities.

I've been doing a little more playing with dyes - more monochromatics and tones of colours this time. Sometimes, I want to mix up brand new colours specifically for a project in mind and this strong red with a hint of burnt orange was where my head was at. Unfortunately my washed fleece didn't seem to take the dye the same as the sock yarn at all. What should have been more of a flame red like the yarn below, turned into more of a ruby/deep red umber. But a happy surprise, I like it a lot. It did felt a bit more during this process so it'll be 'interesting' trying to card that lot out;-) I'll have to be more careful next time!
The sock yarn came out spot on for colour though. I wanted to try and get some intense solids for smaller projects like cabled gloves or detailed lace scarves that would be killed using a strong variegated yarn - like tootiefruitie:-) I'll have to knit it up to see if I've been totally successful but it looks a smooth, strong, vibrant colour which is just what I was looking for.
Cinnamon spice is an experiment in subtle variegations, tonally very close but just enough variance to give a subtle sock. Well, that's the theory! Again it'll have to be knitted up to see the effect but I think it will be a subtle enough colour to use a detailed lace sock pattern. After the green and orange stripey yarns fighting the lace, I'm hoping this will have a better balance.
So, that's as far as I've got dyeing this week as I ran out of re-sealable freezer bags for the microwave! But I got some more last night as well as a couple of casserole dishes - £1 each in Asda! - that hold 2 litres and small enough to fit in my teeny microwave. The theory is they will be better to use than the freezer bags, washable and I won't have to throw away so much plastic every time I dye. I'll tell you how I get on.....:-)


text: In the beginning of the twentieth century, women were demanding more freedom. What could bring more freedom than a chance to fly? Women went up in those early wire-and-fabric contraptions to gain independence, to make money, or to make their names as pilots. They sought to prove that women pilots could do just as well as men--and some did far better. Flying High: Pioneer Women in American Aviation tells the story of Blanche Stuart Scott, who made $5,000 a week and broke forty-one bones; of Harriet Quimby, who flew the English Channel handily and then fell to her death in five feet of water near Boston Harbor; of Ruth Law and Katherine Stinson, who set American distance flying records--all before any of them were allowed to vote. Flying High: Pioneer Women in American Aviation also tells the tales of women behind the scenes--the financiers, engineers, and factory workers--from the earliest days of flying to victory in World War II. These stories of the first female flyers are told in rare, vintage photographs, many previously unpublished, from the archives of the Glenn H. Curtiss Museum.

Cardiovascular Reflexes and Regional Blood Flows Part 3
This is the third installment in our “Cardiovascular Reflexes and Regional Blood Flows” blog series. In each of the papers examined previously, we discussed the muscle metaboreflex's different effects on distinct regional blood flows. Through strategic instrumentation, the experimental model distinguishes mechanistic variations in the systemic and the ischemic (active muscle/exercise) vasculatures.
In “Cardiovascular Reflexes and Regional Blood Flows Part 1” the authors conclude a net vasodilation prevalence over vasoconstriction on the systemic/peripheral vasculature during metaboreflex activation. In “Cardiovascular Reflexes and Regional Blood Flows Part 2” the experiments uncovered a neurogenic vasoconstriction within the active ischemic muscle.
In this third and last installment of the series, we will review the publication “Muscle metaboreflex activation during dynamic exercise vasoconstricts ischemic active skeletal muscle” (available with open access - we recommend you view it alongside this blog). In this publication, the vasoconstriction/vasodilation balance and its mechanistic processes are evaluated under pathological conditions. Since heart failure (HF) is marked by an increased sympathetic activity, the study evaluates how this pathological sympathetic overactivity interacts with the metaboreflex-induced vasoconstriction previously described.
Background and Rationale
- Muscle metaboreflex is activated by increased O2 demand and metabolite accumulation in the exercising ischemic musculature.
- Activation of the metaboreflex mechanism increases sympathetic activity, heart rate (HR), cardiac output (CO), ventricular contractility and blood pressure all aimed to restore adequate O2 supply to the active ischemic muscle.
- Metaboreflex activation induces epinephrine release, resulting in β2-adrenergic-mediated vasodilation in the systemic and within the active ischemic muscle vasculatures.
- Metaboreflex activation also induces sympathetically mediated vasoconstriction within the active ischemic muscle vasculatures.
- The active muscle metaboreflex-induced vasoconstriction limits blood flow restoration to the active muscle, therefore continuously activating the reflex via the balance in O2 demand/supply and O2 delivery/ washout.
- Since HF is marked by increased sympathetic activity, it is possible that the muscle metaboreflex-induced vasoconstriction of the ischemic active muscle is exacerbated in HF and could be partially responsible for exercise intolerance observed in HF patients.
Using a similar design to what we saw in Experimental Puzzles 2, this study describes the instrumentation of mongrel canines used to independently evaluate the vasoactivity of systemic and regional blood flows.
- An ultrasound transit-time flow probe placed around the ascending aorta provided CO.
- A second ultrasound transit-time flow probe was placed around the abdominal aorta to provide direct information regarding hindlimb blood flow. This blood flow is directly related to the muscle metaboreflex activation via ischemia, which is induced by gradual occlusion of the abdominal aorta by occluders during treadmill exercise.
- Arterial pressure was obtained directly from two catheters: The first pressure catheter was positioned in the abdominal aorta cranial to the occluders to provide mean arterial pressure. The second pressure catheter was positioned in the abdominal aorta caudal to the occluders, or in the femoral artery to provide hindlimb blood pressure.
- Blood pressure and flow data provided vasoactivity index expressed as resistance (calculated as blood pressure divided by blood flow) and conductance (calculated as blood flow divided by blood pressure).
- Once the muscle metaboreflex was activated by partial inflation of terminal aortic occluders during moderate treadmill exercise, the hindlimb blood flow can be described as the ischemic vasculature.
- The assessment of the vasoactivity in the non-ischemic vasculature was expressed as conductance (non-ischemic vasculature conductance NIVC), and was calculated as CO (total blood flow) minus the abdominal aorta blood flow (ischemic vasculature) divided by mean arterial pressure.
- The assessment of the vasoactivity in the ischemic vasculature, calculated as hindlimb blood pressure divided by hindlimb blood flow, was expressed as
- Experimental procedures: The muscle metaboreflex activation protocol was performed under the following conditions:
- α1-adrenergic receptor blockade: Prazosin was administered on the day of the experiment.
- HF: Experiments were performed after HF induction (via continuous rapid ventricular pacingfor approximately 4 weeks).
- α1-adrenergic receptor blockade in HF: Prazosin was administered on the day of the experiment, once HF was established.
Results and Discussion Highlights
- As previously and extensively described, the activation of the muscle metaboreflex, achieved by gradual reductions in hindlimb blood flow (abdominal aorta occluders), drives characteristic increases in cardiac output and blood pressure (see publication figure # 1).
- Results described in table 1 of the paper show the expected metaboreflex induced increases in MAP, CO, HR, NIVC and ventricular contractility (first data column in table 1). It also includes, as expected, α-blockade reduced MAP and further increased CO, HR, NIVC and ventricular contractility (second data column in table 1).
- The same table also shows the HF effect in lowering MAP, CO and ventricular contractility at rest and during reflex activation. Also, in accordance with the sympathetic overflow in HF, there was a significant vasoconstriction in the nonischemic vasculature shown as decreased NIVC (third data column in table 1). Metaboreflex activation under α1-adrenergic blockade increased CO, HR, NIVC and ventricular contractility in HF animals (fourth data column in table 1).
- The study focused mainly on the mean arterial pressure and hindlimb resistance calculated as hindlimb blood pressure divided by hindlimb blood flow, which is graphed and analyzed by a dual linear regression model. The model shows three distinct characteristics: initial slope, threshold, and pressor slope. Once the reduction of the hindlimb blood flow reaches the metaboreflex activation threshold, the characteristic reflex increase in pressure is clearly shown. The two slopes and threshold profile are also present in the hindlimb resistance data (see publication figure #2 and 3).
- The pressor slope of the hindlimb resistance is analyzed in control and α1-adrenergic blockade experiments before and after induction of HF (see publication figure #4). The accentuated slope (higher gain) after HF induction signifies an amplified vasoconstriction, which in theory, under continuous stimulus (exercise) presence, would sustain a progressively higher vasoconstriction towards a hypothetical total vasoconstriction.
- This sympathetic overdrive, also observed in cardiac sympathetic afferent fibers and chemoreflex activation in HF, could contribute to the exercise intolerance observed in this condition.
We hope that you have enjoyed this series and the pathophysiological mechanisms behind exercise-mediated vasomotor regulation in the canine model. Dr. Kaur, the author of the papers discussed here, will be presenting a live-webinar where she will give a more in-depth view of the protocol development, data analysis and answer questions. We hope to see you on May 11th!

A yatra aiming to prevent entry of corrupt leaders into Parliament was launched here today by some social activists. "The first phase of the Ghotala Yatra in Uttar Pradesh will expose various scams committed during successive regimes at the Centre," said Ravi Bharadwaj, a social worker, leading the campaign.
"We will also request the Election Commission to rescind its decision of increasing expenditure limit for Lok Sabha elections," Bharadwaj said.
The first phase of the yatra which will cover Mathura, Hathras, Aligarh, Gaziabad, Bulandshahar, Meerut, Shamli and Muzaffarnagar will culminate in Agra on March 14, he said.
Before commencing the yatra, the participants took a vow in front of the statue of freedom fighter Bhagat Singh in the city to fight graft.

Researchers say they hope a robotic lift system will help improve how horses recover from limb fractures and other traumatic injuries.
Veterinarians teamed up with engineers in Saskatchewan to design and build the lift designed to help rehabilitate horses suffering from various injuries. They say the lift provides mobility, weight distribution and support.
“I think it will give a lot of horses a chance that before, didn’t have a chance,” said team leader Dr. Julia Montgomery, a large animal internal medicine specialist at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine (WCVM) at the University of Saskatchewan.
Hundreds of horses are euthanized every year in North America due to racetrack injuries. A large majority of which are reportedly fractures. Horses used for other types of equine sport can also break their legs.
After a horse undergoes surgery to fix a broken leg, it’s normally confined to a stall and given pain medication. Due to a horse’s heavy weight and its strong flight response, the recovery process is complicated.
Secondary issues often arise, such as supporting-limb laminitis. That was the case with the famous racehorse, Barbaro. The Kentucky Derby winner shattered his right hind fetlock while racing in the Preakness Stakes in 2006. Surgeons successfully repaired his leg, but eight months later, Barbaro was euthanized after developing laminitis in his other feet.
Veterinarians regularly use slings to help support injured horses, but current designs significantly limit a horse’s normal activity and support all of its weight on the thorax and abdomen. Veterinarians say this leads to further problems because of compression on the lungs and development of pressure sores.
Montgomery said the new lift system allows clinicians to dynamically reduce and redistribute the weight the horse is carrying.
“We can allow the horse to move around so we don’t have issues with muscle wasting,” Montgomery said, adding that this function will also allow for more controlled rehabilitation of horses.
The lift can also be used with equine patients suffering from neurological problems.
Montgomery and her team have been conducting initial trials on three healthy horses to see how they tolerate hanging out for extended periods of time in the sling and prototype system. The researchers will then use it on horses with limb fractures that would otherwise be euthanized.
The trials will help them find out how the lift affects horse behavior and physiological parameters such as muscle enzymes and blood flow.
The team says its goal is that the robotic lift system will decrease pain for equine patients, shorten recovery time and reduce complications. This will in turn help lower treatment costs and reduce emotional distress for both horse and owner.
“It really provides a novel and unique solution to a very frustrating problem that currently doesn’t have a solution,” Montgomery said.

EUR/GBP Reverses at the 50 SMA Again
Skerdian Meta • 1 min read
EUR/GBP turned bearish by the middle of March and it has been declining since then, losing nearly 8 cents in about two weeks. During the second half of February and the first half of March, we saw this pair surge higher as the GBP/USD crashed 18 cents lower, but the GBP has retraced higher in the last two weeks and EUR/GBP has turned bearish as a result.
The decline has been quite steep, especially this month and the moving averages show that. Tha larger MAs haven’t been able to catch up with the price, so the 20 SMA (grey) and the 50 SMA (yellow) have been providing resistance during pullbacks, thus pushing this pair lower.
Today, we saw a retrace higher on the H1 chart, as GBP/USD turned bearish, after consolidating below 1.25 for nearly a week. But, the retrace ended at the 50 SMA on the H1 chart, once again. Now, EUR/GBP is turning lower again, after the 50 SMA rejected the price for the fourth time in the last several days.
We missed the chance to go short, but the price is not to far from the 50 SMA, so we might actually try to sell this pair. Although, not right now, but you can follow our signals page to see when we will open this trade, if the price retraces a bit higher again.
