Uber Phone Has No Sound
Driver Issue: ★Uber Phone No Sound★
☞Your phone’s sound might be turned off. Here are some common ways to resolve that problem:
1. Ensure that the phone is not on mute by clicking up the slide bar on the slide of the phone. Additionally, make sure that the volume is up all the way on the phone.
2. If the car is newer and has a built in USB and the driver plugs the phone into the USB port in your car, the beep from the request will play through the car’s speakers. If you do do this, ensure that the volume on the speaker is up.
3. If the car is newer and the phone is connected to the vehicle via Bluetooth, the beep from the request will only play if the channel is set to Bluetooth.
If neither of these steps resolve the issue, please contact firstname.lastname@example.org for future assistance and a possiblity to have the phone swapped out.

The Savvy Shopper
SURROUND YOURSELF WITH TREASURES...
I have been writing the Savvy Shopper for almost two and a half years, three times a week....do you know how many places I have traveled! That's a lot of stores to write about. I am wracking my brain to come up with something new to tell you about. While playing cards at my club last week I asked the girls if they had any ideas. They kept coming up with suggestions but I said, been there, done that. It was getting to be a game and nobody was winning until my friend Ellie came up with the suggestion of Surroundings. Wa-la! Great idea, thank you Ellie!
So I traveled down US 41 to Naples and went to Surroundings. Wow! What a place! It is fine consignments for the home...definitely an upscale resale shop! It is like going on a treasure hunt. There is so much to look at in this large show room. Ellie said be sure to look up! The ceiling was loaded with all kinds of chandeliers, unbelievable. Everything from contemporary to very ornate and everything in-between. You could really light up your life! It was pretty amazing to see so much stuff under one roof. The walls held tons of art work of exceptional quality.
You could find just about any style of furniture that you had in mind. The white Florida inspired bedroom set by Bayside Collections looked brand new. Very attractive king bed, dresser and armoire. Other items with a Florida look, a pair of swivel chairs with sea horses embroidered on them, $395. each, a sea horse pillow that went well with them, $42. A table lamp with a coral base $88. There was a selection of wicker too in chairs, ottomans and trunks. For a one-of-a-kind tropical look, I found a custom palm leaf bed in green. It was a canopy style with the carved palm fronds running all along the rails, the corner posts to the top of the canopy with an opening in the canopy top. Very unique. The sign on it said it was originally $10,000. Imagine! Then $4485. and now a mere $1885. I have to say for such an unusual bed I thought that was a fair price.
Another unusual find was the custom made corner book case in a light finish. It was made to fit in a corner, had glass shelves and was 9 1/2 feet high. It came from a Robb & Stucky model, reasonably priced at $995.
The Hickory White gentleman's chest was outstanding with many drawers, lots of storage here. Beautiful dark wood with a matching head and foot board. Everything was so different and unusual like the huge 2 piece Oriental Goliath armoire at $1295.
Another setting that caught my eye was the beautiful, gracefully curved sofa in a soft beige on beige Damask print, $1025. There was a pair of matching chairs to complete the room, $375. each.
So much to choose from in here. Wall units, a game table with a chess board on top, a handsome ultra suede sofa and love seat in rich brown. Unusual toss pillows, floral arrangements, tapestries, an inlaid coffee table. There were many coffee and end tables in all styles. Lovely large trestle table for the dining room, again with many sets to choose from and a wide selection of bedrooms sets, I found a great padded headboard. The living room sets were in abundance in all types of fabrics from tapestry's to a light beige leather sofa, love, chair and ottoman.
The list goes on and on, huge mirrors, lamps and wall sconces, Bombay chests, rugs of all sizes and descriptions, lots of accent pieces. Even dishes. I liked the seashell dishes in aqua and white. Also a set of Lenox china, 12 piece place settings for $885. Bar stools, bakers racks, and oversized candle holders.
The sweetest thing I found was a child's bedroom set that was crackled and hand painted in delicate colors of Peter Rabbit on the armoire, The cow jumped over the moon on the dresser and bunnies on the chest, adorable!
If you are looking for a small little accent piece or table this is the place to go. It was fun wandering through Surroundings with so many different flavors. Spot on Ellie!
Surroundings is just beyond Wiggins Pass across from the Toyota dealer at 12980 Tamiami Trail N. in Naples.
Hours: 10 a.m.- 5 p.m. Mondays - Saturdays. Sundays in season.

Banja Luka, September 7, 2015/ Independent Balkan News Agency
By Mladen Dragojlovic
Bosnia and Herzegovina can be only transit country but not the target country for thousands of refugees from Syria, which for months are trying to reach the rich states on the west of Europe.
This was confirmed by police Director of Republic of Srpska, Gojko Vasic, who said that because of economy situation in BiH and some other countries, they are not the countries which will be in the interest of Syrian refugees. He told to media in Banja Luka on Monday that it is possible that refugees try to reach Croatia and “Schengen countries” over Albania, Montenegro and BiH, or that they will come from Serbia in BiH to avoid blockades and bad treatment.
“But, they know that BiH system is not able to give them the relevant social assistance, so they don’t want to stay here. In fact, a large number of them fled from their country to avoid the bad social situation and just some new suffering that can result from them staying here”, Vasic said.
He added that in BiH and Serbia have a certain number of empty facilities which can be used for their accommodation. But, as he said, refugees will take the first chance they get to continue the way toward EU countries and there is no fear of them staying permanently in BiH.
BiH Minister of security, Dragan Mektic, said for media in Sarajevo that intelligence information confirmed that refugees for long time will not use the route over BiH on their way to EU.
“All refugees are still on the route from Greece, over FYR Macedonia and Serbia to Hungary and Austria. They don’t change this route even for a kilometer left or right. That is why we still don’t expect significant arrival of refugees. In fact, the route over BiH would be a step back for them because they will have one more border to cross on the way to their final destination”, Mektic stressed.
He added that BiH takes this question very seriously and prepares for the possible arrival of larger number of refugees in the state from the East. Mektic said that, at this moment, BiH is helping refugees with humanitarian aid, such as food, water, medicine, etc. If they change their route and come to BiH, as Mektic said, BiH will have a proper answer for this cituation in accommodation facilities and humanitarian support.
Most of the citizens in BiH express sympathy with refugees but some of them are also calling on stronger action to help the refugees. Association of parents, from Sarajevo, issued on Monday announcement to call institutions for larger help and citizens to take families from Syria in their apartments. Some organizations are collecting humanitarian aid which will be soon sent in Serbia and distributed to those who are in need.


Drifting to sleep can feel like an elusive dream when allergies and sensitivities wreak havoc in the bedroom. Scratchy sheets, stuffy pillows and even the dreaded down comforter can turn your sanctuary into a minefield of sniffles and sneezes.
Well, the bamboo blanket comes to the rescue. What makes this hypoallergenic bedding popular? Let’s find out.
The Bamboo Blanket Advantage
When it comes to a good night’s sleep, comfort is paramount. Bamboo blankets effortlessly check that box. These blankets offer a silky-smooth feel against the skin, thanks to the natural sheen of bamboo fibres. The secret lies in the structure of the fibres, which are round and smooth, ensuring a luxuriously soft touch that rivals even the most high-end cotton options.
Breathe Easy with Bamboo
One standout feature of bamboo blankets is their breathability. The porous nature of bamboo fibres allows for superior airflow, regulating body temperature and keeping you cool during warm nights. This breathability also aids in moisture wicking, drawing away sweat and ensuring a dry and comfortable sleep environment. Say goodbye to the discomfort of waking up drenched in perspiration.
A Sanctuary for Allergy Sufferers
For allergy sufferers, finding suitable bedding can be a perpetual struggle. This is where bamboo blankets emerge as a light of hope.
The natural hypoallergenic properties of bamboo make these blankets resistant to dust mites and other allergens. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with sensitive skin or respiratory conditions, providing a sanctuary where they can rest without the worry of allergen-triggered discomfort.
In an era where sustainability is paramount, bamboo blankets take the spotlight as an eco-friendly choice. After all, bamboo is a renewable resource that needs only minimal water and no pesticides to flourish. Choosing bamboo bedding aligns with an environmentally conscious lifestyle, offering a guilt-free way to indulge in comfort.
Choosing Your Bamboo Blanket
Selecting the perfect bamboo blanket involves considering various factors, including weave, weight and design. Blankets with a twill or sateen weave provide added durability and a lustrous finish, while the weight can range from light and breathable to heavier options for colder nights.
Whether you prefer a solid colour or a stylish pattern, there’s surely a bamboo blanket to suit every taste and bedroom aesthetic.
Caring for Your Bamboo Blanket
Maintaining the allure of bamboo blankets is a breeze. These blankets are machine washable, but it’s crucial to follow care instructions to preserve their quality. Using a gentle cycle with mild detergent and avoiding harsh chemicals will keep your bamboo blanket soft and luxurious wash after wash.
With their silky touch, breathability and allergy-resistant qualities, bamboo blankets are an easy choice for those seeking a blissful night’s sleep. Embrace the allure of bamboo blankets and transform your sleep sanctuary into a haven of tranquillity—one where you can rest easy, free from allergens and wrapped in the soothing embrace of nature’s finest fibres.
Rest assured knowing that your bamboo blanket promises a sleep experience like no other. Have you tried using one before? How’s your experience?


(Home heating, aerating, and also a/c; likewise heating, ventilation, as well as air conditioning is the innovation of interior as well as car environmental convenience. Its main objective is to offer thermal comfort that is acceptable indoor and provides air high quality. The HVAC system design is a subdiscipline of mechanical design.
AIR CONDITIONING is used in medium to huge industrial office buildings. It’s also used in aquatic atmospheres such as aquariums.Aerating or air flow (the V in COOLING AND HEATING) is the process of “exchanging” or changing the air in any sort of area to give high indoor air top quality. That entails temperature control, oxygen replenishment, elimination of moisture as well as co2.
Air flow consists of both the exchange of air to the outdoors along with the flow of air within the building. It is one of one of the most important aspects for maintaining appropriate indoor air top quality in structures. Techniques for ventilating a building could be split right into mechanical/forced as well as natural types.
Brief for home heating, ventilation, and a/c. The system is used to provide cooling and heating solutions to buildings. HVAC systems have ended up being the required industry requirement for the building of new buildings. Before the development of this system, the three aspects were usually split in between 3 or more tools.
The three central features of heating, air flow, as well as air-conditioning are interrelated, especially with the must supply thermal benefit along with acceptable indoor air top quality within reasonable installation, operation, and also maintenance costs. A/C systems can provide air flow, decrease air invasion, and also sustain stress partnerships between spaces. The methods of air delivery in addition to extraction from locations are called location air distribution. Individual systems
In modern-day structures the design, system, and regulate systems of these functions are included right into one or more AIR CONDITIONING systems. For extremely little frameworks, professionals generally approximate the capacity, developer, along with choice HVAC systems and also equipment.
For bigger frameworks, creating solution designers, mechanical designers, or building services designers examine, style, as well as define the AIR CONDITIONING systems. Specialty mechanical professionals then make and appoint the systems.
Although COOLING is implemented in specific structures or various other encased spaces (like NORAD’s below ground head service), the devices entailed is in some cases an expansion of a bigger area home heating (DH) or location a/c (DC) network or a consolidated DHC network.
In such situations, the operating and upkeep elements are structured as well as metering winds up being had to prices for the energy that is eaten, along with the sometimes power that is gone back to the larger system. For instance, at an offered time one structure may be using cooled water for air conditioning.

David Vieau's company A123 Systems has a financing deal with China's top auto-parts maker. But two Senators don't like it because the electric-car battery maker has taken money from the U.S. government.
An American company making the key component of electric and hybrid cars has taken on a huge investment from a Chinese firm, and two Senators don't like it.
A123 Systems (Nasdaq: AONE), which lost $83 million in the second quarter, has reached a financing deal with China's biggest auto-parts maker, Wanxiang Group Corp., worth as much as $450 million.
Sounds great for a struggling company like A123. Problem is, some representatives of one of A123's other creditors—the United States—aren't too thrilled.
The Watertown, Massachusetts, company received a $249 million grant in 2009 from the Energy Department. About half that money, meant to encourage the development of hybrid and electric vehicles, has been paid. Senators Chuck Grassley and John Thune have sent a letter to Energy Secretary Steven Chu questioning whether the rest of the grant should go to the company.
"Billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars have flowed to foreign companies through the Recovery Act, and we are concerned that the recent announcement could lead to even more taxpayer dollars going overseas," Thune and Grassley wrote in the letter.
Grassley and Thune are Republicans. The presumptive presidential nominee of their party, Mitt Romney, has criticized tax credits for wind farms, and his advertising has questioned stimulus spending that has gone to overseas companies.
A123 is one of a handful of companies that make the batteries that are key to electric and hybrid automobiles. But the company, like electric automaker Tesla (Nasdaq: TSLA), has yet to make a profit.
Which brings up the election-year question whether the government should be financing so-called clean technology companies, especially when they have to borrow from the Chinese to stay afloat.

A few weeks ago, I have just watched the last episode of season 3 for Game of Thrones. It was a brilliant season and I am glad to have finally watched it but it just angers me so much that I have to wait a whole year until the next season for this beloved series to begin. Just for the record: no, I have never read the books, and no, I am not planning to despite a lot of people, I know, insisting me to. I love this series so much that I want to experience the shock and horror of the story by watching it first on my TV screen.
I absolutely love the series Game of Thrones. A series based off of the books by George RR Martin, Game of Thrones is an amazing fantasy series that creates a cruel and inhumane world where every single person is fighting to claim power and kingship just like a strategic chess game. A world were loyalties are lost, family members are being killed by family members, honor not meaning anything, people fighting beyond the wall and swearing an oath and so on; Game of Thrones basically tells a story about how far people will go to gain true power. In Game of Thrones you either win or you die……and it doesn’t matter if you deserve it or not.
Game of Thrones has the cast of some of the most varied and diverse cast of characters I have ever seen in a Television series ever. A show where there is no good guy or bad guy, just characters with real goals and needs in the series with a good side and bad side to them. Characters that are not so much black and white but characters with hints of grey in between the good and bad spectrum. I am just going to give it a go and say what my top favorite Game of Thrones characters from Seasons 1-3 of the TV series are. There is likely going to be another list of my favorite characters in a few seasons so this list is just for now. This series is the kind of series that can change your mind on characters really quickly so it’s always good to go back and make another list later. I have not read the books so I insist on no spoilers in comments, but please say what your favorite characters are or just stuff about the series in general. This is a series were anyone can make an argument for any character being the best or the worst. There are spoilers for those who have not watched season 1-3 or read the books so be warned.
30. Ramsay Snow
The one character that makes Joffrey look like a sweet innocent kid; Ramsay Bolton is easily the most despicable and evil character in the entire series by far. Ramsey Bolton is just a plain evil sadist who enjoys causing other people pain. In season 3 he tortures Theon Greyjoy in some of the most inhumane ways I have ever seen in a story. Despite his absolutely despicable and evil behavior, I have to at least give props to the actor Iwan Rheon for playing this character brilliantly in the series. Iwan Rheon seems to make me absolutely hate Ramsay Snow but he also brings so much charisma and evil energy to the show that his scenes are just memorable as well as disturbingly troubling.
“Let’s play a game: which body part do you need the least?…’Please’ is not a body part.”
29. Joffrey Lannister
The most hated character in Game of Thrones for most people, (For me it’s Ramsay…. but Joffrey is a close second) Joffrey is the evil, whiny, and completely incapable king of King’s Landing. Joffrey is known for starting some of the most surprising and outrageous events the series has ever known and probably the most famous moment is when he orders Eddard Stark (Sean Bean) to be killed at the end of Season 1. Even though Sean Bean is kind of a living spoiler through his many deaths in movies, I was still so surprised in this moment and hated Joffrey so much for killing off a great character and starting the entire war in the story to begin.
There are so many reasons to hate Joffrey: He treats Sansa badly, he is a completely incapable king, he disrespects Tywin and Tyrion, and he executes and tortures people for no real reason, as well as whines a lot. I hope that he gets punished for all of the bad deeds he has done. At least Tyrion slaps him alot throughout the series. I know this has been kind of a rant on the character but that is really the reason why I like the character. Not many characters can generate so much hate from people and I give actor Jack Gleeson for making the character so hateful and despicable.
“I am the king. Everyone is mine to torment.”
28. Roose Bolton
Another character I hate yet there is no denying he is a great character. Roose Bolton is another vile and double crossing jerk in the series for betraying the Starks and having no sense of honor or sense of loyalty in the series. I absolutely hated him during the Rains of Castamere episode for betraying the Starks. Even though Roose Bolton has a pretty kick ass and awesome low voice, that still doesn’t excuse him for all of the bad things he does in the series. He is the father of the sadist Ramsay Bolton and even though some people may think Ramsay is a lot worse than Roose, I will have to disagree. I think both are quite evil it’s just they show it in different ways. Roose Bolton is clearly doing things just for himself and he has no sense of loyalty, honor, or any type of conscience.
“The Lannisters send their regards.”
27. Robert Baratheon
Another character I am not really fond of. Robert is a drunk king of the seven realms who is completely incapable of leadership. I like him for his friendship with Eddard Stark and a few funny lines here and there………….. but that’s about it. Robert proves a case where kings don’t have to be great leaders or smart and caring at all, they just have to be charismatic and a symbol of kingship for the people. Maybe this is the case and kings really don’t have much power or skills to lead in the world of Game of Thrones, as Tywin says in season 3: “Do you really believe having a crown gives you power?”
“I’m not trying to honor you, I’m trying to get you to run my kingdom while I eat, drink, and whore my way into an early grave.”
26. Syrio Forell
A pretty small character only seen in the first season. Syrio Forell is the sword instructor of Arya Stark at King’s Landing. He is quite a skilled swordsman and pretty charismatic giving Arya some pretty insightful and interesting quotes. A likable character in my book, as well as charismatic and entertaining.
“The First Sword of Braavos does not run.”
Not many characters in Game of Thrones are as shady or as skilled in combat as Bronn. Bronn is known as a body guard for Tyrion Lannister from season 1 and a major soldier in the battle of Blackwater of Season 2. Not much is known of Bronn except, from an amusing drinking game with Tyrion, he has killed a woman in self defense before he was twelve, his parents beat him, and he has been outside of the wall. Bronn is quite a fearsome fighting opponent by using fast speed and agility to fight others instead of just plain strength.
“I sell my sword, I don’t give it away.”
24. Jaqen H’ghar
A character with barely any screen time, yet somehow, left quite a great impression in the series. Jaqen H’ghar was a prisoner released by Arya in season 2 before she was kidnapped in Harenthel by the Lannisters. While in Harrenthel, Jaqen H’ghar disquises as a Lannister and tells Arya that he will execute any three people she chooses. Of course he follows through on Arya’s requests and is able to kill any person she wants dead.
It is quite amazing how this guy is so skilled as an assassin. He is able to kill any person no matter what. It turns out this guy is a part of the faceless men of Braavos which is a feared order of mysterious assassins able to change their faces at will. It is proven this is the case when he changes his face to Arya when she escapes from Harenthel.
“Help was not promised, lovely girl. Only death.”
(“Jaqen is dead”)
Davos Seaworth is one of Stannis Baratheon’s most loyal and reliable vassals. Davos Seaworth is someone who cares and supports Stannis’ claims to the thrones yet gets treated bad by Stannis himself, especially with fighting and disagreeing with Melisandre. A guy who is very loyal despite the way Stannis treats him sometimes. For me, I find him a very likable character.
“I’ve never known bells to mean surrender. They want to play music with us, let’s play. Drums!”
22. Stannis Baratheon
One thing to absolutely love Stannis Baratheon for is just how confident he is to his right on the Iron Throne. My favorite scene of him is definitely in the Blackwater battle where he is the the first person to land in King’s Landing to lead his army and fight the Lannisters. Stannis is a badass but he does make some pretty stupid decisions like letting himself be manipulated by Melisandre all the time; But there is no denying that he is still a badass.
“The Iron Throne is mine by right. All those that deny that are my foes.”
21. Sansa Stark
Alot of people hate Sansa Stark! Being a hopeless whiny romantic who wants to marry Joffrey in season 1, and someone who wouldn’t stand up to Joffrey after her sister almost gets sliced in half by him, it is easy to see why she gets a bad reputation. However I am going to defend Sansa Stark’s character, especially because of her actions in season 2. Let me elaborate: Sansa is someone who was a hopeless romantic in season 1 basically wanting to marry Joffrey because he was heir to the throne. She didn’t think Joffrey was the nicest person on Earth but she would still put up with him if it meant her being queen. However, after Eddard Stark is executed by Joffrey after he promised Sansa he would spare him, Sansa realizes what a horrible human being Joffrey is but is trapped in kings landing destined to marry Joffrey. Sansa, of course, wants to kill Joffrey and get back at the family that executed her father, but instead, she puts up with Joffrey by listening to him and getting bullied and beaten up by him in order to survive. Sansa is someone who has strength in a really tough position. Sansa is a character in one of the worst spots in Game of Thrones and I am rooting for her to get out of it and have something good happened to her.
“I don’t want someone whose brave and strong I want him!”
20. Jorah Mormont
Jorah Mormont is one of the coolest characters in Game of Thrones by having a calm, knowledgeble and relaxing voice, being a skilled combatant, and being one of the most loyal and trustworty characters in Game of Thrones, being the advisor for Dany. Jorah Mormont is someone that would do anything for Dany, since it is hinted that he has a thing for her. Unfortunately, Dany doesn’t really feel the same way for him and according to season 3, has a sort of thing for Daario Naharis. Come on Dany, at least show some gratitude for Jorah in this scene in season 3. You are driving me crazy.
( His heart is broken into a million pieces)
‘No-one can survive in this world without help.’
19. Thoros of Myr/Beric Dondarrion
Another shared spot on my list, yet these characters are very similar personality wise. Thoros of Myr is kind of the Jack Sparrow in the series by being a drunk with a wacky and charismatic presence. He is a priest of the lord of light and actually was ordered to convert King Robert to the Lord of Light but failed. Because of this he became a drunk. Thoros of Myr is one of the most entertaining characters in Game of Thrones for me. His interactions with Arya and his reviving of Beric Dondarrion are some of my favorite parts of season 3.
“You’ve got nothing to fear from us, son. The Lords of Westeros want to burn the countryside; we’re trying to save it.”
Beric Dondarion is the leader of House Dondarrion and the lord of Blackhaven. He is being revived over and over again by Throros of Myr and gets a scar everytime he is advised. He is one of the most amusing characters in the series as well as the weirdest.
“That’s what we are: ghosts. Waiting for you in the dark. You can’t see us, but we see you. No matter whose cloak you wear: Lannister, Stark, Baratheon, you prey on the weak, the Brotherhood Without Banners will hunt you down.”
18. Samwell Tarly
Samwell Tarly is such a lovable and innocent guy in the world of Game of Thrones. He is one of the only characters who really doesn’t have any character flaws except that he is not very physically strong or skilled in combat. Samwell Tarly is a member of the Night’s Watch who is one of Jon Snow’s best friends. He is a great friend as well as a great protector when he protects Gilly and her new born baby in season 3.
“I always wanted to be a wizard.”
17. Brienne of Tarth
A character I am really starting to like in season 3 because of her interactions with Jaime; Brienne is one of the most strong women in all of Game of Thrones. While she has a rough exterior and kind of a tough and stubborn personality, she shows a gentler side as well as an understanding side throughout season 3. Seeing her helping Jaime to become a better person in season 3 was an absolute joy to watch. The two characters have really good chemisty and it made some really great scenes to watch in season 3.
“All my life men like you’ve sneered at me, and all my life I’ve been knocking men like you into the dust.”
16. Catelyn Stark
There is only one thing I hate about this character: She hates Jon Snow. On the other hand, she had a reason to be and she actually felt sorry about it later on in the series so I forgive her for that. Other than that, I love Catelyn Stark and I am so sad to see her go in season 3. Catelyn Stark is the wife of Eddard Stark who is quite a strong willed and tough character as well as a caring parent. Catelyn Stark is someone who would do anything for her kids. Catelyn releases Jaime in order to get Sansa and Arya back from the Lannisters as well as getting her husband’s body back. Catelyn also is an advisor for Robb Stark and she is quite a caring advisor, being his mother and all. Her character is one of the most tragic characters in the series, as her husband dies, her son dies, and she dies while being betrayed. Michelle Fairley is one of my favorite actresses in the show and she plays Catelyn Stark with wonderful presence with determination while being a caring and loving mother.
“On my honor as a Tully. On my honor as a Stark. Let him go, or I will cut your wife’s throat.”
Yes, she is a little low but bear with me, please. Daenerys is really awesome and is one of the best developed characters in all of Game of Thrones. Seeing her become an innocent naive school girl into a badass competent leader and the mother of dragons was awesome. Scenes like her dealing with the death of Khal Drago, her eating stallion hearts, Her at the House of Undying, and her saving the slaves at slavers bay are all awesome scenes and give her great character development, but there is one issue I have with her character, and that is her personality. To me, Daenerys is a very cold and not a fun character to watch in Game of Thrones. She is a great character but not an interesting character, if that makes any sense. I don’t want to bash her because I think she is awesome, but……… you know. She is a pretty good looking character and some people say she is the best looking female in Game of Thrones. To me, not quite. One thing to add is that Daenerys would make an excellent king because she is clearly king material. She could make almost anybody to follow her because of her kind attitude and ability to care for people in the lower class. Would she be a great leader?: hmmmm, maybe not. But she would make a great king, or queen. Sometimes kings and queens are basically a symbol for the people to follow. Daenerys is clearly that. Do I have to mention the Tywin quote again?
“When my dragons are grown, we will take back what was stolen from me and destroy those who wronged me! We will lay waste to armies and burn cities to the ground!”
“Yes. All men must die, but we are not men.”
14. Oleena Tyrell
Oleena Tyrell is quite the charismatic and witty character, that she even gives Tywin and Tyrion a run for their money when it comes to knowledge and wit. Oleena Tyrell, to me, is basically a female Tywin for her wit and knowledge. She is one of the most entertaining characters in all of Game of Thrones.I have to say that Oleena Tyrell is played by Diana Rigg, who played the bond girl, Teresa di Vincenzo, in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. GMS will surely like this news.
“She might think we have some wits about us, one of us at any rate.”
“Loras is young, and very good at knocking men off horses with a stick. That does not make him wise.”
“We mothers do what we can to keep our sons from the grave.”
13. Margeary Tyrell
Another smart character, Margeary is a very manipulative and smart character that clearly knows how to play the Game of Thrones. Margeary is the future wife of Joffrey in season 3 and uses her kind attitude and versatile social skills to control Joffrey’s sadistic impulses and stupid decision making. Margeary is someone that wants to be queen but she does it by making friends. The world is cruel and I guess people need friends in the Game of Thrones.
“No, I want to be the queen.”
One of the most hated characters in Game of Thrones, yet, why do I like her so much? She is clearly an incapable leader, is sometimes a bitch, is quite cold, and is the mother of Joffrey. Why do I like her? Well, it is really her pessimistic and realist personality, as well as her interesting presence she brings to the show thanks to the wonderful job the actress Lena Headey does playing this character. A lot of my favorite scenes in Game of Thrones usually have Cersei in them. Her interactions with Tyrion, Tywin, Joffrey, Sansa are all awesome to watch, even though she is seen as cold and quite the jerk. There are reedeeming factors to her character however: She clearly cares about her family and would do anything to protect them. Even though she thinks that she is way smarter than she thinks she is, as Tywin points out in season 3; Cersei is one of the most entertaining and most interesting characters to ever be seen in Game of Thrones.
“Everyone who isn’t us is an enemy.”
“When you play the game of thrones you win, or you die. There is no middle ground.”
11.Sandor the Hound
A character very taciturn and brutal but not without compassion; Sandor the Hound is one of the most misunderstood characters in Game of Thrones while also being one of the most likable. Sandor the Hound was the personal body guard of Joffrey, before he decided to hell with it at the battle of Blackwater. He shows a compassionate side to Sansa at King’s Landing as well as an unlikely fatherly relationship with Arya in Season 3. Sandor the Hound has a very tragic past where his brother pushed his face in fire because he played with one of his toys. Sandor has some pretty badass scars and a tough exterior yet shows a lot of goodness throughout the series.
“No, it gives me joy to kill people. Killing’s the sweetest thing there is.”
‘If any man dies with a clean sword, I’ll rape his fucking corpse!’
10. Robb Stark
A character I miss so much after the tragic scene of the red wedding, and it’s a shame, because Robb Stark was one of the most competent and potentially good leaders to have been on the iron throne. His only downfall was that he was young, and when you are young you are naive and when you are naive, you make stupid decisions. Robb Stark is a competent leader that actually defeated Tywin in a few battles. Tywin respected Robb as a pretty formidable oppenent so he took drastic measures in the Rains of Castamere episode. That episode was absolutely horrible to watch seeing him witness his pregnant wife, Talisa, being stabbed in the stomach. He died long after he was already dead on the inside witnessing Talisa and his supposed son, Eddard, die right before his eyes. Eddard Stark died because he let his honor get in the way. Robb died because he let his heart get in the way. The Starks never get a break….. but they will be back…..I hope.
“I won every battle. But I’m losing this war.”
9. Ayra Stark
Surprisingly, this is a young character that is actually many fan’s favorite female character, and rarely are little kids liked in TV series and movies. Many girls crave to be pretty or romantic or rich beyond their wildest dreams with a kind loving husband on the side. This is not the case with Arya. Arya is one of the most independent characters in Game of Thrones who is sort of tomboy with knack of learning how to fight and face the world. Arya Stark is clearly one of the toughest characters in Game of Thrones, through her quick thinking and willingness to do anything to protect herself and her family and friends. Arya has killed people in the series, despite her age, and is proven to be very smart and able to survive all alone in the world. She is played by a brilliant actress named Maisie Williams. One of my favorite scenes in the whole series is her interaction with Tywin in season 2. The two actors play off each other seamlessly.
“Joffrey… Cersei… Ilyn Payne… The Hound… Polliver… The Mountain…”
Theon is one of the characters that I clearly feel sorry for more than any other character in Game of Thrones. He has the most painful and grueling story arc out of any character, has some understandable intentions, yet made some stupid decisions and unfortunately, he gets punished for it in the most grueling ways possible. Okay, yes, I agree that his decision to go against the Starks was stupid, but he did it because he wanted to work with his father and gain acceptance from him. Yes, it was wrong to kill two kids to prove to the people of Winterfell that he is someone to be feared and respected, yet he feels completely sorry for it and admits that everything he did against the Starks was wrong (and even mentions Eddard Stark as his real father). He gets captured and tortured, he is rescued by a mysterious figure who saves him only to give him a false hope that he will be safe before he is brought back to be tortured again by Ramsay Snow. I have to ask: Does Theon really deserve this much torture compared to the other characters in Game of Thrones? Yes, George RR Martin clearly made one of the most captivating and cruelest story arcs in all of storytelling history with the character of Theon. Basically his torture from Ramsay Snow is not only a physical torture, but a mental torture, where he is commanded by Ramsay to forget his real name and go by his new name Reek. It is a mental development where Theon learns how he has completely destroyed himself and his name through the stupid and horrible actions he did, despite his intentions to find acceptance from the Starks and his father. Will Theon ever be reedeemed, and will his torture come to an end soon…. and will he ever find acceptance and a real identity for himself, probably not from the looks of it.
“What is dead, may never die.”
7. Little Fingers/Varys
These characters are two sides of the same coin. These are both very manipulative characters and they are both some of the creepiest characters in Game of Thrones.
Little Fingers: One of the main instigators of the war of the five kings because of his betrayal to Eddard Stark and the setting of Catelyn’s hatred toward Tyrion and the Lanniters; Little Fingers is one of the most skilled players in the game of thrones. Little Fingers operates on the side of King’s Landing by being a cold and calculating manipulator. Little Fingers is one of the scariest people of Game of Thrones because he is a smart manipulator that has only his interests in mind. Little Fingers has a crush on Catelyn Stark and it seems the only people he ever cares about are Catelyn and himself. Little Fingers is different from Varys because he clearly manipulates others to improve his standing. Varys on the other hand is the complete opposite.
Varys: Varys is a lot like Little Fingers because they are both creepy manipulators but he is different from Little Fingers because he clearly does stuff for the good of the realm and not so much for himself. Varys is quite a creepy looking character. He has a creepy voice as well as a creepy look.
Varys, in my book, is a good guy while Little Fingers is as a bad guy. Both characters are very entertaining characters to watch in the show. I love there verbal sparring they have towards each other and their interactions towards other characters in the show. These characters are clearly up to something big in the future. These characters are characters that others should clearly watch out for.
Little Fingers: Chaos is a ladder speech
“You know what I learnt losing that duel? I learnt that I’ll never win. Not that way. That’s their game, their rules. I’m not going to fight them: I’m going to fuck them. That’s what I know, that’s what I am, and only by admitting what we are can we get what we want.”
Varys: “Storms come and go, the big fish eat the little fish, and I keep on paddling.”
“I’ve always hated the bells. They ring for horror. A dead king, a city under siege…”
“Power resides where men believe it resides. It’s a trick. A shadow on the wall. And a very small man can cast a very large shadow.”
6. Eddard Stark
The Living spoiler in Game of Thrones because he is played by freaken Sean Bean. Eddard Stark is the most honorable character in all of Game of Thrones and is also one of the most likable. Unfortunately he dies in Season 1 and his death was basically the symbol for audience members to see just how cruel the world of Game of Thrones really is. He is the main protaganist and the famous actor and he got killed at season 1. I was so surprised at this because I love Sean Bean as well as Eddard Stark.
Eddard Stark is basically the polar opposite of Tywin. He is a kind loving father and puts honor and his conscience ahead of pure ruthlessness and manipulative decision making. Eddard Stark is the Wolf and Tywin is the Lion. If both characters mixed together you would get the perfect leader for Westeros.
“You think my life is such a precious thing to me, that I would trade my honor for a few more years…of what?”
“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword.”
There is practically no romance in the world of Game of Thrones. There is maybe lust but not really any true romance to come from the show ever. This is not the case with the character of Ygritte and her relationship with Jon Snow, which is my favorite romance in the show by far. Ygritte is easily my favorite female character in Game of Thrones (yes better than Daenerys…..I know). Ygritte manages to be not only the most entertaining and interesting female character for me but also the most genuine female character generating the closest thing the show has ever come to a true romance. The romance between Ygritte and Jon Snow is actually one of my favorite things in the show, period. It manages to be a playground sort of romance while feeling very genuine. Ygritte’s playful forwardness and Jon Snow’s naive nobility play off each other brilliantly and makes for some of the most interesting and fun scenes ever in Game of Thrones. Ygritte is hillarious with her teasing and pushy attitude towards Jon Snow. Jon Snow and Ygritte’s scenes in seasons 3 are some of my favorite scenes in Game of Thrones. The Wall Climb ending is one of my favorite endings to Game of Thrones if not my favorite. Too bad Jon Snow leaves Ygritte in season 3. I knew it wouldn’t last in the world of Game of Thrones.
“You know nothing Jon Snow.”
“Your mine and I’m yours. And if we die, we die. But first we live.”
“Do you like girls who swoon Jon Snow? Oh a spider! Save me Jon Snow.”
” Is that a palace?” Jon: “It’s a windmill” “A windmill?”
4. Tywin Lannister
Tywin Lannister is basically the leader of Lannisters (screw Joffrey). Tywin is the real decision maker and he prefers to make decisions as the hand of the king and not as the king. Tywin is one of the smartest, if not the smartest character in all of Game of Thrones. He makes decisions based soley on what is best for his family and he does an incredible job doing it. His only flaw is that he is not a very good father and this causes a lot of his children to be raised not very well (If mixed with Eddard Stark’s good parenting skills he would be a perfect leader). Tywin is played by one of my favorite actors in the entire show, Charles Dance. Every single scene Tywin Lannister is in and every line he says is incredibly bad ass. The one thing I don’t like about him is that he set up the red wedding and because of his hatred for Tyrion. Other than that this is hands down the most badass character in Game of Thrones.
Just to point out. Tywin in my opinion is not king material since I believe no one will follow him. He is leadership material, however, as it seems in Game of Thrones that mostly real decisions are usually made by the hand of the king and not the king himself. Tywin is definitely the best hand of the king for the Lannisters (Tyrion fits this bill as well).
“Any man who must say ‘I am the king’ is no true king.”
“I don’t distrust you because you are a woman, I distrust you because you are not as strong as you think you are”
“The house that puts his family first will always defeat the house that puts the whims and wishes of its sons and daughters first… A good man does everything in his power to better his families postition regardless of his own selfish desires.’
3. Jaime Lannister
How incredible is it to see a character you hated so much in season 1-2 suddenly becoming one of your favorite characters in season 3. Jaime started out as one of the biggest jerks in Game of Thrones because of what he did to Bran and because of his relationship with his sister but it later turns out in season 3 that Jaime is one of the most honest and understandeble characters in all of Game of Thrones.
Jaime is a character that clearly operates on his own ideals and beliefs instead of what he thinks would please his family or other people in the realm. Jaime was of course the king slayer but not without a good reason. The hot tub scene in season 3 is one of my favorite scenes in Game of Thrones history with him confessing to Brienne why he killed the mad king. Scenes in Game of Thrones like him saving Brienne from getting raped and him losing his hand, him saving Brienne from a bear are all scenes that show how great of a character Jaime really is. Actor Nikolaj Coster- Waldau does an incredible job playing Jaime. It is a mix of Nikolaj Coster- Waldau’s performance and George RR Martin writing that makes Jaime one of the most likable characters in Game of Thrones.
“The things I do for love.”
“There are no men like me. Only me.”
Bath scene: just about all of it.
2. Jon Snow
Jon Snow is definitely one of the most important characters in Game of Thrones since he is basically the audience’s vision outside the wall and a character that has nothing to do with the corrupt kings’ war of Game of Thrones. Yet, Jon Snow has probably my favorite character arc out of any character in Game of Thrones. Jon Snow is the bastard son of Eddard Stark who is now a member of Night’s Watch. Jon Snow is the only character that develops as a character outside of all of the madness that is going on in the war of the five kings. Watching Jon Snow develop throughout the series making tough decisions and gaining friends and romance has been awesome to watch. To me, Jon Snow is probably the most capable king to ever lead Westeros. He has the heart and care of a Stark (unlike the Lannisters) He is able to make tough decisions even when it puts those he loves in danger (Unlike Robb) he has great honor and is loyal (Unlike Roose Bolton). I am personally rooting for Jon Snow to be the new king of Westeros before the series reaches its end.
“All the best swords have names”
“I know how to do it”
1. Tyrion Lannister
Oh man, everyone saw this coming. When it comes to just plain likability, Tyrion is the most entertaining character to watch in Game of Thrones as well as one of the most interesting. What really appeals to me about Tyrion is just how smart he is and how he always makes decisions based on what would be best for his family, despite how badly his family treats him. Tyrion is a manipulator but he always seems to have a bigger conscience than Tywin. The scenes between Tyrion and Tywin are awesome scenes that show what it’s like when two of the smartest people in Game of Thrones are discussing the issues in Westeros. Tyrion says some of the wittiest lines in Game of Thrones and he is definitely the most likable Lannisters despite his many manipulations.
Tyrion always seems to use wit to make up for physical shortcomings. He knows that his father looks down on him because of what he did to his wife, yet holds a recognizable fear and low self esteem when confronting his father. Tyrion is clearly the true heir to Tywin and it is just a huge shame to see that Tywin looks down on him because of what he did to his wife. There seems to be a complete enjoyment about the two smart men being into each other’s company to discuss issues but also a huge hatred for eachother. I say it is one of the most compelling relationships in all of Game of Thrones.
Tyrion is not only witty but very funny. Tyrion’s best season is clearly season 2 when he prepares King’s Landing for the Blackwater. Even though Tyrion takes a backseat in Season 3, he still has very funny lines as well as a hillarious drunk scene at him and Sansa’s wedding. Tyrion is smart and manipulative, but he has a conscience while still holding his family’s ideals in minds. That is quite the challenge considering how cold the Lannisters are. Do I have to mention that Tyrion was the only one that felt bad for Tywin’s set up at the red wedding. I give props to Peter Dinklage for creating one of the most beloved characters on TV. A character who is smart and manipulative, as well as funny and with a conscience.
“All Dwarves are bastards in their father’s eyes”
“and now I have struck a king; Did my hand fall from my wrist?”
“Tyrion Lannister: It’s not easy being drunk all the time. Everyone would do it, if it were easy.”
“Drinking and lust , no man can match me in these things. I am the god of tits and wine
Game of Thrones proves time and again that it has a diverse cast with good and bad traits that can be liked and disliked by many different people. There is no perfect Game of Thrones character and there is no good guy or bad guy and that’s what makes the show interesting. Game of Thrones is definitely one of my favorite stories ever told and I am looking foward to season 4 so badly.

For immediate release: July 13, 2017
Contact: Emile Creel
STARKVILLE, Miss. — More than 50 public career and technical education teachers from around the state are at Mississippi State for a New Teacher Induction training program.
The two-week program is part of an alternate-route teacher-certification pathway in career and technical education administered by the university’s Research and Curriculum Unit. In addition to classroom management and assessment, NTI participants are learning about instructional planning and strategies through activities both on and off campus. They are spending this week on campus and will continue training through July 21 at regional locations throughout the state.
Many new high school CTE teachers come from industry and therefore do not have a traditional teaching license. The NTI program helps prepare industry experts to translate their advanced skills to the high school classroom.
The latest cohort is among more than 400 new Mississippi CTE teachers who have taken advantage of the program over the past five years, said Lois Kappler. Because many come from industrial careers, the training has been designed to help them translate their advanced workplace skills to classroom settings, RCU’s project manager explained.
“We also offer training throughout the new teacher’s first year; it’s an added level of support,” she said.
Members of the Mississippi Department of Education-affiliated unit’s professional learning team, Kappler and Leanne Long, RCU assistant research professor, are serving as training coordinators.
“Training before the school year is so important because teachers need to know what to expect when they enter the classroom,” Long emphasized. The program additionally features presentations by RCU staff colleagues and Mississippi Department of Education representatives, along with a number of current classroom teachers and other authorities, she added.
To make certain participants have the latest information on innovative pedagogical methods, Kappler said the MSU team “constantly evaluates the NTI curriculum to continue to capture best practice.”
Throughout the coming school year, continuing education training will incorporate curriculum-specific mentor teachers and instructional coaches, along with three regional sessions.
Long said the mentors are current school instructors available to guide their new colleagues through any unexpected classroom situations that might arise. RCU or MDE staff members will fill the roles of instructional coaches.
“All the coaches have classroom experience, as well as the knowledge to recommend resources and contacts to the new teachers,” Long said.
After the 2017-18 school year has ended, the current group will return to MSU in the spring for final training, a recap of the year’s experiences and a graduation ceremony.
“Having a firm foundation of training is so important in the beginning,” Long said. “We then help them build on that foundation with continued support throughout the school year, so they can have a positive impact on student learning as new teachers and throughout their teaching career.”
Established in 1965, the RCU has a mission to improve the lives of Mississippians through education by developing curricula and assessments, providing training and conducting research for K-12 schools. For additional information, visit rcu.msstate.edu.

This study investigated whether the tactics of ingratiation found by Jones and others in highly controlled laboratory experiments are used in freer social situations. Subjects were told either to get a person of the opposite sex to (1) like them or (2) dislike them, or (3) were given no instructions (control condition). Fifteen-minute discussions were tape recorded and categorized. Results showed that compared with the controls, subjects attempting to gain the esteem of another were unsuccessful and their behavior did not differ from the control subjects. Subjects attempting to get another to deslike them were successful, and differed from subjects in the other conditions primarily in their greater use of non-conformity and statements critical of the other. The results were interpreted to indicate that ingratiation behaviors are demanded in part by cultural norms, and that it is the presence or absence of the opposites of these behaviors that determine one's gain or loss of esteem.

The Saudi Arabian head of Pakistan's International Islamic University has stirred up a controversy by firing employees who spoke to women colleagues and taking action against an official for allegedly watching a movie on the internet.
Ahmed Yousif Al-Draiweesh, the president of the prestigious varsity, can neither speak Urdu nor English and is unable to communicate with students or members of the faculty without a battery of interpreters.
He recently issued instructions to fire a member of the Urdu faculty for delivering a lecture in Urdu but was subsequently forced to reconsider the decision.
Draiweesh's tenure "has been marked by language problems, cultural differences and irregularities that have increased mistrust and suspicion" between the university's management and faculty, the Dawn newspaper reported.
The president began termination proceedings against the director of the university's finance wing, a male, because he spoke to a female employee.
Action was also taken against the director of human resources, who has been working at the varsity for 30 years, for talking to a female employee.
A hostel provost was removed after a group of students accused him of "watching a movie on the Internet", an unnamed official told the daily.
Such a matter is "a minor crime in Pakistan" and the provost should have received a warning but Draiweesh removed him as the "crime is more serious in Saudi Arabia", the official contended.
Referring to the problems under Draiweesh, an unnamed official said: "There are around 23,000 students in the university, most of whom cannot communicate with the president at all."
Faculty members too claimed they had been affected, as those who speak Arabic have "managed to get close" to Draiweesh, a position from which they can influence policy. The state-run International Islamic University was once considered one of the world's leading centres for the study of Islamic thought, law and history.

For 33 months between 1978 and 1980, the nightclub Studio 54 was the place to be seen in Manhattan. A haven of hedonism and tolerance, glitz and glamor, the nightclub and its activities filled the gossip columns daily. Two college friends, Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager, succeeded in creating the ultimate escapist fantasy in the heart of the theater district, but the drug-and-sex-fueled dream soon imploded in financial scandal. With unprecedented access to lifestyle-hotel genius Schrager, who tells the whole unvarnished story for the first time, and a treasure trove of rare and captivating footage, Studio 54 constructs a vivid, glorious portrait of the disco era at its very epicenter.

Released: February 2, 2016
ZULI, an experimental electronic musician from Cairo, makes his debut for Lee Gamble’s UIQ label. Despite the newness of his name, ZULI has been a major player in Cairo’s little-seen underground scene for a while as part of the promoters bringing acts like Ben UFO and Aurora Halal to the city. The Bionic Ahmed EP is bass-heavy and sounds somewhat broken, full of slow motion grooves, disembodied vocals, and mechanical hisses.

The economic calendar for the first trading week of September is packed with important events and reports which become more significant in the scope of the upcoming series of central banks’ meetings. These events may or may not change the overall decisions in the last minute, so the volatility is expected across the board for all of the major currency pairs and other assets in the financial markets.
Monday, September 3.
Despite the long weekend in the United States in Canada because of the Labour Day celebration, the first trading day of September is traditionally important to identify the trend for the whole Autumn. The economic calendar in Asia and Europe will determine the trading day price action and it starts with New Zealand reporting Exports and Imports results in the second quarter. Australian AIG Manufacturing Index, Business Inventories and Retail sales will influence the AUD/USD pair. Current expectations are rather pessimistic for both countries and there is a huge probability for Kiwi and Aussie to keep the downtrend in case of the lack of support from fundamentals. Japanese Q2 Capital Spending will be important for USD/JPY traders and Nikkei stock index. Caixin Manufacturing PMI in China is going to show how far the recent slowdown might go in the nearest future. There are two central banks officials to speak on Monday: Kuroda from BoJ and Mersch from ECB. Italian, French, German and EU Manufacturing PMI reports will answer the question regarding the EUR/USD weakness. Sterling bulls will watch British Manufacturing PMI report scheduled for release at 09:30 AM GMT in order to get some fresh support for the pound. OPEC meeting starts on Monday in the U.S. and oil traders will watch closely the reaction of oil exporters for the worldwide demand change.
Tuesday, September 4.
Reserve Bank of Austalia kicks off the series of rate decision meetings on Tuesday. The RBA Rate Statement is going to be published at 05:30 AM GMT together with the decision which is widely expected to leave the interest rates unchanged. Although AUD/USD traders will be reading every single word in the statement trying to catch the regulator’s sentiment for the upcoming months. We do not expect significant changes in the central bank dovish rhetoric due to several pessimistic economical reports published in August, so the Aussie might keep falling, most probably. RBA Governor Lowe’s speech is scheduled for 10:30 AM GMT. British Construction PMI will be important for sterling recovery, while European reports include Spanish Unemployment change and EU PPI, the impact of which is seen to be limited though. South Africa will report annualized second-quarter GDP. The recent downgrade revision lowers the chances for Rand recovery and we might see further bullish spike of USD/ZAR. The ISM Manufacturing PMI starts the busy week in the U.S. after the long weekend. The market consensus is 57.6 for the headline reading while some of the components are seen mixed. Any shift to positive or negative territory might have an influence on the greenback demand on Tuesday.
Wednesday, September 5.
Aussie will continue being in the market’s focus on Wednesday with the GDP report due to release at 02:30 AM GMT. Services PMI reports will be published for several countries across the European Union, while British Services PMI is going to identify further trend for EUR/GBP and other sterling cross-rates. European Retail Sales and ECB Praet speech will be the last events for the European session. The U.S. import and export numbers will be in focus for the American trading session, but the main event is going to happen in Canada which will report Labour Productivity and Trade balance in July. Those will be the last economic reports before the BoC meeting and rate decision, which is scheduled for 03:00 PM GMT. Although the market consensus is ‘unchanged’ for the interest rates at 1.50% level, we might expect a surprisingly hawkish move from the regulator with 25 basis points hike. This would drop USD/CAD prices below 1.2850 in a blink of an eye. Anyway, the volatility is going to be huge for the pair and BoC Statement will play a big role in it because investors will try to find the mid-term perspective for the Loonie. Three Federal Reserve officials are going to speak on Wednesday: Williams, Bostic and Kashkari. The U.S. Crude Oil Inventories report is not to be missed for the commodity traders.
Thursday, September 6.
Australian Trade balance is almost the only one report for the whole Asian trading session on Thursday. But traders will keep listening to the central banks' officials, and Bank of Japan Board Member Kataoka will hold the press conference right after the release of Japanese Foreign investments in stocks and bonds. The GDP report is due to release from Switzerland and it is going to be the last one before the Swiss Central Banks meets for the rate decision later in September. There are lots of doubts among the market players that Swiss Bank is going to step off the recent negative interest rates policy, especially in the current financial conditions worldwide. Swiss Franc remains one of the safe-haven currency despite the volume of its trading has been lowered somewhat compared to pre-crisis levels before 2008. German Factory orders and Spanish bonds auctions - these events will determine the European trading session. The economic calendar in the United States is comparatively free of major risk events. ADP Employment change and Labour productivity will influence traders’ sentiment before the main event of the week - Non-Farm Payrolls which will be published next day.
Friday, September 7.
Friday will be the biggest trading day for the greenback not only for the upcoming week but, possibly, even for the whole month. Traditionally, traders expect the Non-Farm Payrolls release and there is no huge volatility before the New York opening. So, German Unemployment Rate and industrial production together with French Trade Balance and EU GDP might have a limited impact for EUR/USD momentum. The only exception could become the Halifax House Price Index which is scheduled for 09:30 AM GMT. Sterling bulls are looking for any optimistic data from the British economy and even a slight positive chan

- Year(s): 2021
- Grant Type: Investigator
- Research Type: Basic
- Primary Tumor Site: Pancreas
- Area of Inquiry: Tumor Microenvironment and Metastasis
Kim and her research team will induce vascular normalization and study the effectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy in pancreatic NET liver metastases. The results of the research may have significant clinical implications for combination therapies that maximize anti-tumor immunity and therapeutic outcomes.
What question will the researchers try to answer?
Dr. Kim aims to understand the mechanisms underlying liver metastasis, immune evasion, and their convergence on current immunotherapy resistance in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs).
Why is this important?
The incidence of pNETs has increased steadily over recent decades, and liver metastases are found in 40% of patients at diagnosis. Furthermore, following surgical tumor resection about 50% of patients with recurring pNETs undergo liver metastasis, which is associated with poor therapeutic outcomes. Lastly, the stimulation of anti-tumor immunity by treatment of immunotherapy such as checkpoint blockade has demonstrated limited treatment efficacy in pNET patients.
What will researchers do?
Dr. Kim and her team will study whether vascular destabilization in liver metastases contributes to metastatic progression in the liver, the most common site of distant metastasis in pNET. In this study, they will identify the mechanism underlying vascular regulation of immune suppression during metastatic progression and their convergence on immunotherapy resistance in pNET.
How might this improve the treatment of NETs?
By elucidating vascular regulation of immunosuppression in metastatic pNET, their work should offer new strategies to suppress liver metastatic progression and unleash the potential of immunotherapies for pNET patients.
What is the next step?
Based on what they learn from the proposed work, her team will expand their research to learn vascular regulation of immunosuppression, liver metastasis, and therapeutic resistance by exploring human samples of pNET patients. In addition, they will identify potential predictive biomarkers (non-invasive) by testing the association of levels of circulating vascular molecules with treatment outcomes in patients who have pNETs.
