Formlabs is a leading global developer of industrial 3D printers used for R&D, rapid prototyping, small batch custom production, and making jigs and fixtures for manufacturing. Headquartered in Massachusetts, the company also has operations in Ohio, North Carolina, China, Germany, Hungary, Japan and Singapore. In 2019, Formlabs was looking for a cloud-native CAD and PDM platform to streamline communication between its teams spread across the world. The file-based data management system they had been using required engineers to check in and check out design files from a vault, forcing them to work one-person-at-a-time, significantly slowing down their product development process.
Onshape’s real-time CAD collaboration tools enable multiple Formlabs engineers to concurrently work on a design versus being forced into a serial workflow.
Onshape’s built-in PDM system enables teams around the world to work with a single source of truth, eliminating version control issues during the collaboration process.
The Formlabs product development team no longer experiences delays due to software crashes or corrupted files due to Onshape’s cloud-database architecture.
When scaling up projects, Formlabs can grant immediate CAD access to new hires, contractors or external partners by just entering their email address. Waiting days or weeks to purchase new CAD licenses is no longer necessary.
Instead of mundane serial numbers, Formlabs nicknames each printer with a randomly chosen animal and adjective. Some of the whimsical names, which sound more like exotic pets than additive manufacturing tools, include: SMILING WOMBAT, FLIPPANT RAVEN, BREEZY SHARK, HEAVY BUNNY, MACHO CLAM and PRETTY PACKRAT.
Quirky names aside, Formlabs is a leading global developer of industrial 3D printers, and its own high-performance materials that enable “anyone to make anything.” Headquartered in Massachusetts with offices in Ohio, North Carolina, China, Germany, Hungary, Japan and Singapore, Formlabs aims to be a “manufacturer’s Swiss Army knife.” Its family of printers and post-processing solutions are used not only for R&D and rapid prototyping, but also for small batch custom production, making jigs and fixtures, and to quickly resolve supply chain problems (i.e. making machine replacement parts on demand versus waiting for them to be shipped from overseas).
Formlabs customers include Ford, Google, New Balance, Gillette, Lush Cosmetics, Hasbro, Sony and Marvel Studios, which uses 3D printing for movie props such as Thor’s hammer.
“3D printing has completely changed the way that we think about manufacturing,” notes Matt Lipsitz, Head of Sustaining Engineering and Quality for Formlabs. “Using the traditional subtractive approach, you start with a block of material and you chip away at it in order to make a part. With the additive approach, you build it up layer by layer (with powder or resin) without the same kind of material waste you would have with traditional manufacturing. And what that means is companies can turn more of their raw materials into the finished product than they could ever do before.”
“All our printers are readily accessible, relatively inexpensive, can fit on a desktop, and can ramp up the manufacturing process quickly on a modular level,” he adds. “What really excites me is how Formlabs is making mass customization truly accessible across a wide range of industries.”
In the toy world, action figure pioneer Hasbro (which introduced the first poseable G.I. Joes in 1964) recently used Formlabs printers to rapidly create a “mini factory” near their Rhode Island headquarters for production of its on-demand “Selfie Series” figures. Hasbro enables its fan base to scan their faces into an app, choose their hair color and preferred body type and order a fantasy action hero based on their likeness. The toy company urges collectors to “Make Room on Your Shelf for Yourself.”
On a much more personal level, Formlabs Dental Resins and printers are now being used by dental labs and practices to quickly produce biocompatible surgical guides, splints, fixed patterns and models, clear aligner models, and full dentures. In the healthcare industry, Formlabs BioMed Resins and printers are used for a variety of biocompatible applications, including models for medical implant sizing.
“When we think about manufacturing something for a person’s body where everyone is very different, or manufacturing for a particular consumer taste or desire, 3D printing is the perfect solution and can deliver so many valuable benefits,” says Lipsitz. “Additive manufacturing enables product developers to have tangible examples of their designs faster. That means the speed of iteration can accelerate because there are physical prototypes to test and validate earlier without the same kind of time and financial investment required by traditional methods.”
“The world is moving from automated manufacturing that makes the same exact thing many, many times over to automated manufacturing that can make different things many times over – but with comparable efficiency and relatively little investment,” he adds. “And Formlabs is at the forefront of bringing that kind of mass customization to industry.”
To design its 3D printers and post-processing machines, Formlabs relies on Onshape, a cloud-native CAD platform with built-in Product Data Management (PDM) and real-time collaboration tools. Formlabs switched to Onshape from its old file-based CAD and PDM systems in 2019 because their legacy on-premise software slowed down its collaborative design process.
When multiple engineers are working on the same file-based CAD model, they are required to check their work in and out of a PDM “vault” to prevent version control issues – denying visibility to colleagues until they are finished editing. File-based data management platforms force serial workflows, requiring engineers to work one-at-a-time instead of concurrently.
In contrast, cloud-native Onshape’s real-time data management allows multiple engineers to simultaneously work on the same product model, seeing each other’s design changes (or proposed design changes in experimental branches) as they happen. A comprehensive Edit History tracks every design change, who made them and when – allowing the team to instantly revert back to any earlier stage of the design if desired.
“It's critical to reduce waste in any design process,” notes Lipsitz. “And one of the great ways to do that is to know that when you're looking at something, you can trust it is the latest iteration. So any time you have to go back and rebuild a model or redesign something because it wasn't saved correctly, that's a waste. It's hugely valuable for our engineers to know that what they're looking at is the latest version.”
“In my current role, I need to collaborate with people globally. My colleagues or partners might be in the Far East, Europe or across the United States. So I need to be able to show them the latest CAD model in a matter of seconds – and it’s imperative that we’re all working from that same single source of truth,” he adds.
According to Lipsitz, another huge benefit of cloud-native Onshape is the peace-of-mind that design work won’t be lost because of data corruption or computer crashes, issues common with on-premise, file-based systems.
“The way Onshape is designed, there is no need to remember to save our designs mid-workflow,” he says. “It's always being backed up automatically. If a computer crashes, you can just move to another computer and continue right where you left off. The stability of the software has been a great boon to us.”
As a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform, Onshape regularly releases updates in the cloud every three weeks, adding new features and functionalities requiring no downloads or installs.
“With Onshape, there's always continuous improvement. Our engineers get excited to see what new features have come out in the last release and what features we may have requested that were recently deployed,” Lipsitz says. “That iterative cycle is refreshing. It feels like there's always something new – as opposed to an on-premise system that may be updated only once a year.”
“Any time engineers are not actively working on design projects, they’re not adding value to the company. So we want to pursue any ways to eliminate downtime,” he adds. “And cloud-native software takes servers, maintenance and other IT tasks out of our hands, saving time and reducing the burden on our engineers.”
As Formlabs continues to develop new additive manufacturing technologies and expand its worldwide business, Lipsitz maintains that Onshape will remain especially valuable for helping to accelerate the onboarding process for new engineering hires.
When scaling up a project, Onshape users can grant immediate access to colleagues by simply entering their email address – versus waiting days or weeks to obtain additional CAD licenses with on-premise vendors and requiring assistance from IT.
“Onshape really reduces the barrier to onboarding engineers,” Lipsitz says. “The fact that it's based in the cloud means that we don't need to install any software, and we can add a new user with the click of a button, as opposed to having to install and link to a PDM system, and then teach somebody how to access it. Onshape runs right in your browser so somebody is good to go and can start designing parts right away.”
“We recently realized these same benefits on a project with an overseas supplier who was willing to adopt Onshape for joint engineering development of a new product,” he adds. “The ability to integrate an external partner into our engineering toolset shifted the traditional relationship from a transactional one to a collaborative one.”

US 7298406 B2
A ground referenced pixel reset circuit is disclosed. The ground referenced pixel reset circuit supplies a pixel with a reset signal such that when the reset signal is asserted high, the reset signal is at a ground referenced reset voltage independent from a supply voltage. The pixel includes a photosensor, such as a photodiode, that is coupled to a ground having a same potential as the ground of the reference voltage supply. In this manner, noise caused by fluctuations in the supply voltage is reduced.
1. An image capture system, comprising:
a plurality of rows of pixels, each row comprising:
a reset line for providing a reset signal;
a plurality of pixels, each pixel comprising:
a first FET having a gate terminal coupled to a reset line, a drain terminal coupled to a supply voltage, and a source terminal coupled to a readout node; and
a photodetector coupled between a first ground and the readout node;
a switching device selectively coupled to one of reset lines in the rows of pixels;
reference voltage source coupled between a second ground and one of the reset lines via the switching device, wherein the reference voltage source generates a reset voltage that is independent of the supply voltage and the first and second grounds have the same potential; and
an operational amplifier buffer comprising (1) an output coupled by the switching device to one of the reset lines, (2) a non-inverting input coupled to the reference voltage source to receive the reset voltage, and (3) an inverting input coupled to the output in a feedback loop, wherein the feedback loop does not pass through the readout node.

The present invention relates generally to a method and apparatus for digital image capture. In particular, the present method and apparatus provide for reduced row reset noise in image sensors, such as active pixel sensors.
Image sensor circuits are used in a variety of different types of digital image capture systems, including products such as scanners, copiers, digital cameras, and the like. The image sensor typically includes an array of light-sensitive pixels that are electrically responsive to incident light reflected from an object or scene whose image is to be captured.
The performance of an image capture system depends, at least in part, on the sensitivity of each individual pixel in the sensor array and its immunity from noise. Pixel sensitivity relates to the ratio of a change in the pixel output voltage to the photogenerated charge in the pixel. Noise may be defined as small fluctuations in a signal that can be caused by a variety of sources. Image sensors with increased noise immunity tend to yield sharper, more accurate images in the presence of environmental and other noise.
Improving the noise immunity of each pixel permits a reduction in exposure time, which in turn allows the capture of images at a greater rate. This may allow the image capture system to better capture motion in the scene. In addition to allowing greater frame rate, greater noise immunity may also help to resolve detail in images captured under low light conditions.
Integrated circuit imaging devices typically include an array of light detecting elements interconnected to generate analog signals representative of an image illuminating the device. Within such an integrated circuit, each image-sensing element contained in the integrated circuit usually contains a photosensor, such as a photodiode or phototransistor, as a light-detecting element. In one example, charge is collected or dissipated in accordance with the intensity of light illuminating the photosensor. By storing the resultant charge, an analog signal is thus generated having a magnitude approximately proportional to the intensity of light illuminating the light detecting element during an exposure interval.
During one common mode of operation, each pixel has a photo-sensitive diode, or photodiode, that is first reset by placing a charge across the photodiode. Then, the photodiode is exposed to incident light, which causes the charge stored on the photodiode to be dissipated in proportion to the intensity of the incident light. After a predetermined time period during which the photodiode is exposed to the incident light and charge is allowed to dissipate from the photodiode (i.e., the “integration” or “exposure” time), the charge at the node of the photodiode is read out. This value is the integrated voltage and may be sampled, such as onto a capacitor, by opening a switch or by other means.
After the charge at the node of the photodiode has been read-out, the photodiode is reset by asserting a reset signal to a reset transistor within the pixel. The amount of incident light that is detected by the photodiode is computed by subtracting the integrated voltage level from the reset voltage level.
Due to fluctuations in the power supply voltage, however, the reset level varies between resets. Thus, the noise present in the power supply affects the reset level. Because entire rows of photodiodes are typically reset at the same time, the noise generated tends to affect all the photodiodes in a row. This may result in each row having a different variation in noise that appears as row noise in an image. This noise may be manifest as row-wise coherent noise in an image captured by an array of pixels.
Additional background information is disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,133,862, 5,841,126, 6,147,846, and 5,345,266, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
It is desirable to have a method and apparatus of using current pixel designs to achieve improved noise performance using electrical circuitry available with standard MOS fabrication and other suitable processes.
In accordance with one embodiment, a reset control circuit provides a reset signal that is independent from a supply voltage. A pixel reset line is coupled to a reference voltage source via a switch to provide a high level reset signal at the reference voltage. The reference voltage is referenced to a same ground as an anode of a photosensor, such as a photodiode, of the pixel and is independent of the supply voltage. The reference voltage may drive the reset line through an operational amplifier buffer.
An image capture system according to one embodiment includes a pixel having a photodetector coupled to a source terminal of a reset field effect transistor (FET). A gate terminal of the reset FET is coupled to a reset line for receiving a reset signal and the drain terminal of the reset FET is coupled to a supply voltage. A reference voltage source is provided and is coupled to the reset line via a switch to selectively provide the gate terminal of the reset FET with a reset signal at the reference voltage. The reference voltage is independent of the supply voltage. The reset FET may comprise an n-channel enhancement mode MOSFET.
According to another aspect of the present apparatus and method, an operational amplifier buffer is coupled along the reset line between the reference voltage source and the gate terminal of the reset FET.
Hence, pursuant to an aspect of the present apparatus and method, because the reset signal level is independent of the supply voltage, a difference signal generated by an associated column circuit is substantially independent of variations in the supply voltage. Since the reset signal level does not substantially change between resets, noise caused by differences in reset signal level between resets is reduced or eliminated.
In one embodiment, a first reset signal is initially provided to a pixel, the first reset signal being equal to a reference voltage. Next, a first voltage value generated at the pixel following a light exposure interval is read, the reference voltage being independent from the supply voltage. A second reset signal is then provided to the pixel, the second reset signal being equal to the reference voltage and a second voltage value is read from the pixel. Lastly, a pixel value is generated using the first and the second voltage values.
Additional details regarding the present apparatus and method may be understood by reference to the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Common reference numerals are used throughout the drawings and detailed description to indicate like elements.
In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof, and in which are shown by way of illustration specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. It is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and structural changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
The column circuit 108 may comprise, for example, a column circuit similar to that disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,471,515, which is incorporated herein by reference, or other suitable column circuit. The column circuit 108 may also be referred to as a “sample and hold” circuit. The row decoder circuit 106 provides row signals for selecting a row of pixels for readout and may comprise a row decoder circuit similar to those described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,133,862 and 5,841,126. The row reset circuit 104 and the row decoder circuit 106 may share decoding logic.
The pixel array 102 includes rows 110, 112, 114 of pixels 120, 122, 124, respectively. Row 110 includes pixels 120A, 120B, 120C, and 120N. Row 112 includes pixels 122A, 122B, 122C, and 122N. Row 114 includes pixels 124A, 124B, 124C, and 124N. The number of rows of pixels and the number of pixels in each row may vary and the rows 110, 112, 114 of pixels are merely illustrative of one example. The pixel array 102 may be configured in conformance with the VGA (Video Graphics Array) standard or other suitable standard.
As illustrated, pixels in a common row of pixels may share a common row line and a common reset line. For example, the pixels of row 110 share row line 130 and reset line 140. Likewise, the pixels of rows 112 and 114 share row lines 132, 142 and reset lines 134, 144, respectively. Further, each column of pixels within the pixel array 102 is connected to a common column line 150, which electrically connects the pixels of the associated column with the column circuit 108.
An operational amplifier 208 is disposed along the reference voltage line 204. The operational amplifier 208 receives the reference voltage via the reference line 204 at one input and the operational amplifier output voltage via a feedback line 210 at the other input. In this configuration, the operational amplifier 208 serves as a non-inverting unity gain amplifier and a reference voltage buffer.
A switching device 212 receives the output voltage of the operational amplifier 208. The switching device 212 selectively supplies the reference voltage to the reset lines 140, 142, 144 and connects the reset lines not being supplied with the reference voltage to ground. In one embodiment, the switching device 212 comprises a multiplexer, although other switching devices and switching configurations may be employed.
As shown, the switching device 212 includes switches 220 and 230 associated with line 140. The switches 220 and 230 operate opposite each other so that when the switch 220 is in an open position, the switch 230 is closed and connects the reset line 140 to ground 240. When the switch 220 is in a closed position, the switch 230 is opened such that the reset line 140 is supplied with the reference voltage, as amplified by the operational amplifier 208.
Similarly, the switches 222 and 232 operate opposite each other so that when the switch 222 is in an open position, the switch 232 is closed and connects the reset line 142 to ground 242. When the switch 222 is in a closed position, the switch 232 is opened such that the reset line 142 is supplied with the reference voltage, as amplified by the operational amplifier 208.
Likewise, the switches 224 and 234 operate opposite each other so that when the switch 220 is in an open position, the switch 234 is closed and connects the reset line 144 to ground 244. When the switch 224 is in a closed position, the switch 234 is opened such that the reset line 144 is supplied with the reference voltage, as amplified by the operational amplifier 208.
Further, since the switching device 212 typically supplies the reference voltage to only one of the reset lines 140, 142, 144 at any given time, when the switch 220 closes, the switches 232, 234 are closed and the switches 230, 222, and 224 are open. Similarly, when the switch 222 closes, the switches 230 and 234 are closed and the switches 220, 224, and 232 are open. Likewise, when the switch 224 closes, the switches 230 and 232 are closed and the switches 220, 222, and 234 are open.
The switches of
The switching device 212 is one example mechanism for supplying the reference voltage to the various reset lines 140, 142, and 144. Other mechanisms may alternatively be employed. For example, a separate reference voltage source (not shown) may alternatively be provided for each of the reset lines 140, 142, and 144.
As shown in dashed lines, the row reset circuit 104 may optionally include a level shift circuit 209 and a bootstrap circuit 211 for implementations where the generated reset voltage at node 213 is bootstrapped to a level greater than or equal to the supply voltage Vdd. The level shift circuit 209 may be implemented as a source follower or as a capacitive divider to shift the bootstrap voltage down to equal the reference voltage. The bootstrap circuit 211 boosts the reset voltage at 213 above the reference voltage and may be implemented, for example, as a switched capacitor circuit.
The supply voltage Vdd may be greater or less than the reset voltage, as received at the gate terminal 306 of the reset FET M1. Setting the reset voltage to be greater than the supply voltage Vdd by use of, for example, a bootstrap circuit may, however, provide a more dynamic range, which may be beneficial in some applications.
A gate terminal 312 of a second FET M2 is coupled to the node PD. A drain terminal 314 of the FET M2 is coupled to the supply voltage Vdd and a source terminal 31 6of the FET M2 is coupled to a drain terminal 318 of a third FET M3. A gate terminal 320 of the FET M3 is coupled to the row line 130. A source terminal 322 of the FET M3 is coupled to the column line 150. The FETs M2 and M3 comprise n-channel enhancement mode MOSFETs.
The other pixels of the pixel array 102 may be configured identically to the pixel 120A. Other suitable pixel designs may alternatively be employed.
Operation of the image capture system 100 (
Once the voltage at node PD reaches the ground referenced reset voltage minus the threshold voltage of the reset FET M1, the reset line is pulled low (switch 230 is closed). The node PD at this point is said to be “floating.” Next, at time T1 exposing the photodiode 302 (
In some embodiments, the duration between T0 and T1 is in the range of about 0.5-4 microseconds. An optional row pulse may begin and end just before and just after the beginning and end of the exposure reset time, respectively, for glitch cancellation purposes.
At the end of the exposure time, the row signal is asserted high and the integrated signal is sampled by the column circuit 108. In particular, the row line 130 is asserted high by the row decoder circuit 106 (
FET M2 then drives the column line 150 with a level-shifted version of the voltage at node PD. As discussed below, column circuit 108 (
The voltage at node PD at time T2 is approximately equal to the ground referenced reset voltage at T1 minus the integrated signal minus the threshold voltage of the reset FET M1. The threshold voltage of the reset FET M1 may be considered to be the same from reset to reset. The exposure time, or exposure interval, typically has a duration in the range of about 1-60 milliseconds, but may be of much longer or shorter duration.
The sample reset interval begins at time T2 with the row reset circuit 104 (
At time T4, the column circuit 108 samples the voltage of node PD shortly after time T3.
The column circuit 108 may then generate a difference signal equal to the pixel reset level minus the integrated signal level where the pixel reset level is the sample taken at T4 and the integrated signal level is the sample taken at the end of the exposure time T2. Thus, the difference signal includes the signal that is proportional to the incident light plus an error term. The error term is equal to the difference in the ground referenced reset voltage during the first and second reset intervals (i.e., the exposure reset interval and the sample reset interval). Since the generated ground referenced reset voltage is the same during both the first and second reset intervals (i.e., at both T2 and T4), the error term is zero (or a negligible value) and the difference signal is equal to the integrated signal and is independent from the supply voltage.
The above-described embodiments of the present invention are meant to be merely illustrative and not limiting. Thus, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from this invention in its broader aspects. Therefore, the appended claims encompass all such changes and modifications as fall within the scope of this invention.

Following on from his Flags Mixtape, which appeared at the start of 2014, Brolin releases a brand new track, Swim Deep. The track is the first to emerge from sessions with producer Raffertie, as the two finish work on Brolin's debut album, expected early 2015.
Swim Deep is a composition of depth and yearning, eliciting the beauty of the last days of summer, and the heady intensity of freedom, love, and promise. Joyous, shimmering electronic production is accompanied by a beatific vocal performance. Swim Deep also marks the forthcoming album as wholly anticipation-worthy.
The video for Swim Deep, directed and produced by Phoebe Arnstein, features three couples as they allow cameras to capture their tender post-sleep moments. Each graceful shot captures the lyrical intimacy of the song, to gorgeous, enveloping effect.
The release of Swim Deep on October 27th will be accompanied by two remixes - from Bristol bass artist Asa. and London house collective Panda. The same week, Brolin will play his first headline London show for 18 months, at the Servant Jazz Quarters in Dalston. Tickets have just been released and are on sale now.
Speaking about the release, Brolin said "Swim Deep lyrically explores the tenderness of relationships. I wanted a video to portray that in a natural, spontaneous way. We shot real couples waking up together in their homes, sharing those moments of vulnerability normally reserved for each other, yet recognisable and totally relatable to us all. I think the video demonstrates that as we strive for individuality, we share these universal human experiences, and they're kind of what makes life beautiful."

Koks will move from the Faroe Islands to Greenland
Two-Michelin-starred o que, helmed by Poul Andreas Ziska, gained notoriety for its far-flung location on the ilhas Faroe, where guests are driven the final leg of the journey in a Land Rover from Lake Leynavatn to access the remote farmhouse housing the restaurant.
But Ziska has been forced to find a new location, and settled on somewhere even more arduous to reach: 200 miles above the Arctic Circle in Greenland.
From mid-June to mid-September in 2022 e 2023, the 30-seat Koks 2.0 will be open for diners at Ilimanaq Lodge, a 40-minute boat ride across the bay from the town of Ilulissat.
Guests at the lodge get first dibs on the exclusive eatery, but bookings opened for regular folk on 1 Março.
It will be the first Michelin-starred establishment to open on Greenland.
Ziska, who is from the Faroe Islands, contado Bloomberg of the move: “As a Faroese person, I’ve always felt like there’s a connection there [to Greenland].
“It’s a place we identify ourselves with, at least when it comes to the raw materials.”
He plans to use as much local produce as possible, foraging for wild plants like crowberry and angelica and using meat from local wildlife, such as seal meat.
“I’ve had musk ox a few times, and it’s so so good, so I want to work with that. And reindeer. Maybe even polar bear," ele disse, adicionando: "Claro, we’re not going to cook with any animal that’s endangered.”
The original aim was to transplant Koks from its former farmhouse location, whose 18th-century architectural quirks meant it wasn’t quite fit for purpose, to a new building in the Faroes.
But endless red tape prevented construction from starting; four years on, “we still haven’t gotten permission to build the new restaurant,” said Ziska.
The new Greenland residency will last for at least the next two years.
“It is a unique opportunity to showcase our fantastic raw materials and nature,” Palle Jerimiassen, mayor of Avannaata municipality, told local newspaper Sermitsiaq.
"Esperançosamente, it will have a lasting effect locally.”

Forex trading, in simple words, is trading of another set of instruments just like stock trading. While in stock trading, you trade the shares belonging to a company, in forex trading, the trader trades the currencies of specific countries. While stock prices fluctuate depending on the performance of the company, the currency prices fluctuate depending on the performance of the economy of a country against the other. While from a technical analysis point of view, FX trading is just another set of instruments that need study and analysis, from a fundamental analysis point of view, this presents a different and bigger challenge.
How Forex Trading Works
So how does forex trading work? Many people do not know how to get started in forex trading. In FX, the forex traders trade one currency versus the other. Like for example, if it’s EUR/USD, the trader would be evaluating the euro versus the dollar. If the trader buys this pair, then it means he would be buying one and selling the other. If the value of the forex pair is said 1.2, then it means that the value of the currency is 1.2 times the value of the base currency. In the case of EURUSD, it means that 1 euro is worth 1.2 USD.
Like other trading instruments, the forex pairs also fluctuate all through the day and the trader should aim to buy low and sell higher or vice versa. As you can see, fundamentally, the trading logic is the same which is to buy low and sell higher and vice versa and it is just that the instruments are very different in the forex market.
Forex traders should be careful about the trade sizes though, as they are likely to be very different from what they have seen in other markets. The currency pairs are bought and sold in lots of 100,000 units and so the traders need to be careful. They can buy smaller sizes of lots as well but they need to be aware of this so that they don’t get trapped in a bad position.
What is Margin in Forex Trading?
Margin is one of the forex trading concepts that one should keep in mind and make use of correctly. If you have traded, then you might be aware of the concept of margin trading. While doing day trading in stocks, the broker may have given you some margin of say 5x or 10x which means that if you have $100 in your account, you will be allowed to buy stocks worth $500 or up to $1000. This increases the potential of your profits as you can buy more and hence make more profits but it can also work oppositely as you can lose all your money as quickly as well.
So, it is important to remember that margin can be a double-edged sword and hence needs to be used carefully by the traders to make optimum use of it as and when it is necessary as one wrong move could be enough to basically blow up the account.
Risks of Forex Currency Trading
When you start trading forex, you must understand the risks involved and the types of forex market conditions that you are likely to face. Just like any other trading, you need to make sure that you trade with a stop loss. You need to be aware of when specific economic news, that moves the market very quickly, is going to be released and you need to be aware of what impact it can have on your open positions. The general advice is not to have any open positions when important news that have a big impact on currency movements, is released.
One of the main attractions of the FX market is the margin that is offered by the brokers as some brokers even offer a margin of 1:1000. Though this may sound very attractive, it is surely a path to destruction of accounts especially for new traders and it is better to be aware and make use of the margin correctly.
The traders also need to make sure that they choose the right brokers to trade with. Unlike the stock market, there is no central place where all the settlements happen and each broker settles the trades in the ways that he deems fit and this is also a risk. So the trader needs to be very careful in choosing the right brokers and platforms to trade-in.
Best Forex Trading Software
Once you have learned what is forex trading, the next step would obviously be to begin trading. For this, you need to have the right tools. Trading in itself is a difficult thing and you do not want to make it harder for yourself by choosing the wrong tools.
Most of the time, the forex broker would give all its users a set of software to trade with. This software would not only help the trader to make trades but also have tools like education, charting, etc. It is up to the trader to choose the right ones for himself. Most of the retail brokers nowadays offer the platforms MT4 and MT5 for trading for their retail traders and these are very good as far as charting and trading are concerned. They are very user-friendly and make trading very easy. Some brokers offer other software also for trading and it is totally up to the trader to trade and use those that he is comfortable with. The best person to teach you how to trade forex is yourself. No one can be better.
How to Develop a Forex Trade Plan
Experienced traders would tell you that you need to have a strategy or a trading plan before you start trading with real funds. This trading plan should have fixed and clear rules for entry into a trade and exit from the trade both for buys and sells as well. The plan should have a strategy for stop loss and when to take profits and it should be clear and objective as well. This will help to keep things clear and concise.
Developing the trading plan is one thing while sticking to it is a totally different thing. While many traders don’t even have a plan to start with and so end up trading as they please and ultimately lose their account, there is another set of traders that have a plan but do not stick to it. They find it difficult to control their emotions when they trade and so are not able to follow the plan though it may be profitable in the long run. For such traders, it may be advisable to make a bot or a robot that will trade according to their strategy which they can just allow it to run on their accounts and let it do its thing knowing that it will be ultimately profitable.

Chancellor Sajid Javid slammed for axing rates deal worth £1.6m to Portsmouth
HUNDREDS of thousands of pounds is to be snatched from Portsmouth and pumped back into the government’s coffers after Chancellor Sajid Javid scrapped a lucrative scheme.
The special measure allowed cash-strapped councils to keep more of the money collected from local companies through business rates.
Portsmouth had been among the first in the UK to join the pilot back in 2018 before it was renewed this year. It was expected to be fully rolled out in 2020/21.
But instead Mr Javid abruptly ended the arrangement meaning the council will only be allowed to keep the standard amount of money raised through rates. The rest goes to the government.
Seething city leaders have said the move will ultimately cost Portsmouth £1.6m – money councillors insisted could have been spent on new facilities for children with special needs.
Stephen Morgan, Portsmouth South MP and shadow communities minister, said the scheme’s loss was a ‘demonstration of what little respect they have for the vital work conducted by our councils’.
The city Labour leader added: ‘Government should be judged on how it treats the next generation and how it looks after those in need. In both these regards it is failing the people of Portsmouth.’
Councillor Gerald Vernon-Jackson, Portsmouth City Council leader, claimed the deal was scrapped because ‘the government’s finances were in a mess’ amid all the chaos over Brexit.
He said: ‘I’m not quite sure what Portsmouth has done so wrong to this government for them to take this out on the city like this. It seems they’re taking money from Portsmouth every other day of the week.
‘What’s frustrating is this is money that could have been put towards a special school in the city. Now that money’s been taken away from us.’
The pilot was introduced to give councils more freedom to decide how they spend money. Cash generated from it was earmarked to head back into funding city developments like schools and leisure facilities.
It was hoped this would encourage councils to invest in their local economies to boost growth, so more business rates come in, helping them to protect council services.
However, support for the scheme waned, with the amount councils were able to keep dropping from almost 100 per cent in 2018-19 to 75 per cent in 2019-20. Now from 2020-21, it will only be able to keep 50 per cent of this growth.
Cllr Suzy Horton, Portsmouth’s education chief, said: ‘This is a real blow, as the extra money would have been extremely useful.
‘It's very disappointing that the rules have changed and more business rates will be kept by the government, instead of staying in the city for the benefit of local people.’
Since 2010, austerity measures have seen grants to local councils nationwide slashed by £10bn.

RBS faces big rate-fixing fines as Hester admits banking is at 'new lows'
Royal Bank of Scotland is bracing itself for hefty fines for its role in the Libor fixing scandal.
Stephen Hester, chief executive of the taxpayer-controlled bank, said he expected it to face a significant hit over the scandal, but would not speculate how much.
He admitted the reputation of the banking sector had fallen to "new lows." He said: "This is dangerous because customer trust is a pre-requisite for a successful banking sector and an effective banking sector is so important to economic stability and growth."
RBS admitted that it had "dismissed a number of individuals" over the scandal. Barclays was fined £290m in June by regulators. Analysts at Morgan Stanley have suggested RBS and Lloyds could face combined fines of £840m.
RBS said it is being investigated by three regulators in the US, the Financial Services Authority in this country, the European Commission and regulators in Canada and Japan. It also faces "a number of class and individual claims" in the US, which it believes it can defend.
"The Libor situation is on our agenda and is a stark reminder of the damage that individual wrongdoing and inadequate systems and controls can have in terms of financial and reputational impact," said Hester. "We will stand up and take any punishment that comes our way."
Computer failures at the bank during June have cost it £125m so far, and could rise further, it admitted. The bank took a further £135m hit on mis-selling payment protection insurance, taking the total to £1.3bn, and a £50m charge to compensate businesses mis-sold interest rate swaps. Pre-tax losses at RBS almost doubled to £1.5bn but that includes a £3bn accounting charge that analysts ignore for the strengthening value of its debt. Underlying operating profits fell from £2bn to £1.8bn.
Hester said that, three years after he launched his restructuring plan, "there is plenty left to do". He added: "We now have a good level of profitability from the rebuilt and ongoing bank and a lot more safety.
"We are safer and sounder than three years ago while we have been using the profits of the ongoing bank on the cost of the clean-up of the past. Eventually those profits will be available to shareholders."

A study suggests that primary care doctors don't consistently recommend genetic testing for women at high risk for cancer because of family and personal history.
The results were published online July 25, 2011 in the journal Cancer.
Most inherited cases of breast cancer are associated with one of two abnormal genes: BRCA1 (BReast CAncer gene one) or BRCA2 (BReast CAncer gene two).
Women with an abnormal BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene:
- have up to an 85% lifetime risk of developing breast cancer
- have a much higher-than-average lifetime risk of ovarian cancer; estimates range from 15% to 60%
U.S. guidelines say that BRCA testing should be considered when:
- many women in a family have been diagnosed with breast and/or ovarian cancer, particularly if the women were younger than 50 when diagnosed
- some women in a family have been diagnosed with cancer in both breasts
- there is both breast and ovarian cancer in a family
- men in a family have been diagnosed with breast cancer
- there is breast cancer in a family and either male relatives on the same side of the family have been diagnosed with prostate cancer at a young age or relatives on the same side of the family have been diagnosed with gastrointestinal cancers, such as pancreas, gall bladder, or stomach cancer
- a family is of Ashkenazi (Eastern European) Jewish descent
In this study, nearly 1,900 primary care doctors (family medicine, internal medicine, ob/gyn doctors) answered a survey about how they recommended genetic counseling and testing for women with average risk or high risk of cancer.
Only 41% of the doctors said they would refer women at high risk and eligible for genetic counseling based on U.S. guidelines to get this genetic counseling and testing.
The chances that a high-risk woman would be referred for genetic screening were affected by a number of factors:
- Age: A 35-year-old, high-risk woman would be referred by 57% of the doctors compared to 27% of high-risk women older than 50.
- Gender of the doctor: 50% of female doctors follow U.S. guidelines for genetic screening of high-risk women compared to 35% of male doctors.
- Doctor's specialty: Ob/gyn doctors are more likely to follow U.S. genetic screening guidelines; family medicine doctors are least likely to do so.
- Insurance: Genetic screening referrals are more likely if a high-risk woman has private insurance.
- Race: Genetic screening referrals are more likely among high-risk white women compared to high-risk black women.
- Ovarian cancer risk: Genetic screening referrals are more likely for women at high risk of ovarian cancer compared to women at high risk for breast cancer.
These results suggest that many high-risk women who should have genetic screening aren't having that screening done. This is troubling. Women with an abnormal breast cancer gene have a number of options to reduce breast cancer risk, as well as ways to detect any cancer that develops early, when it's most treatable. These risk reduction steps include:
- a more aggressive screening plan starting at an earlier age
- hormonal therapy to block the effect of estrogen on breast tissue or reduce the amount of estrogen in the body
- removing the healthy breasts (prophylactic mastectomy)
Some women with an abnormal BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene also may consider having healthy ovaries removed because of the increase in ovarian cancer risk. Removing the ovaries also dramatically lowers estrogen levels and lower estrogen levels can reduce the risk of hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer.
Knowing that a woman has an abnormal BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene also is important information for the other women and men in her immediate family to have; they also may be carriers and at a higher risk of cancer.
The Gail score is a standard breast cancer risk assessment tool that assesses breast cancer risk based on a series of personal health questions that women and their doctors answer together. The questions ask about risk factors such as age, child-bearing history, family history of breast cancer, and breast biopsy results. The Gail score estimates the risk of developing invasive breast cancer in the next 5 years. If you think you may be at high risk for breast cancer, you might want to talk to your doctor about your personal and family medical history. You also may want to ask your doctor to consider calculating your Gail score and then talk about what it means. You also may want to ask your doctor if genetic testing or a referral to a genetic counselor makes sense for you.

Ahead of Saturday afternoon’s clash against Kilmarnock, Steven Gerrard has been speaking about his ambitions at Ibrox, as quoted by the Daily Record.
Recent results against Hibernian and Aberdeen, have all but ended the club’s hopes of silverware in his first season.
With nine games left in the league, there’s still a semblance of hope left.
Everyone knows it would take a flawless run-in and an unprecedented blow up from Celtic, though.
If there’s no success this season, Gerrard knows what needs to happen next time around.
“I’ll never sit here and say it’s a project and I need four or five years”, said Gerrard, as quoted by the Record.
“No, no, no. I don’t want to be part of a project.”
“Of course, there has to be an element of patience. Everyone who is educated about the game knows Rome wasn’t built in a day and the size of the job I took over.”
“But we are at a club that demands we need to win now and I’m here to win the next thing that’s available. The players need to understand that and my message to the fans is that’s my thinking. If I don’t win the next three or four things that are available, maybe I won’t be here speaking to you.”
Strong words from the manager.
It’s clear he’s under no illusions about what is and isn’t acceptable at Rangers.
No matter how big your name, winning trophies is fundamental to the job description.
Therefore, if he fails to that end this season, the pressure will be ramped up for 2019-20.


Kyle Rittenhouse, Kenosha, and the Sheepdog Mentality
Rittenhouse appears to live in a fantasy world where police and car dealerships are more endangered than unarmed Black men, and where he is a warrior.
“I’d rather be judged by 12 than carried out by six.” Most gun owners have heard that nugget of homicidal wisdom, often from the person who sold them their guns. In other words: Better to attend your own trial by jury for killing someone than your own funeral for hesitating and being killed instead.
The final count on Tuesday night in Kenosha, Wisconsin, was 12 and 12: a dozen pallbearers for two homicide victims, and 12 yet-to-be-impaneled jurors for Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old who allegedly shot them with his AR-15-style rifle. The footage of their killings is grainy and sickening. It shows, amid general mayhem and gunfire, a man who appears to shoot another with a rifle, then say into a cellphone, “I just killed somebody.” Later that same man is pursued by a mob down the center of a street. They catch up with him, he falls to the ground, and one strikes him with a skateboard. From a supine position the gunman shoots two people, one fatally. The other, blasted in the right arm, had been running at the killer with a pistol drawn.
I have seen many videos like this, and not long ago I profiled John Correia, a YouTube gun-world celebrity who has seen more videos of gun violence than perhaps any other human being who has ever lived. On YouTube and other social media, the gun channels are filled with real-life videos of violence—think Cops, with all the boring parts edited out and most of the violent parts unblurred. I could say that these scenes never cease to sicken, but the truth is that one gets used to them after a while. Rittenhouse, who was arrested yesterday, was reportedly a gun enthusiast and active on social media in support of Blue Lives Matter. I don’t know whether Rittenhouse spent his free time watching people pulling guns on one another, but I know from experience that these videos are hugely popular in the gun world that he was part of, and if you watch one, you probably watch hours of them.
The availability of these videos is perhaps the biggest change in gun culture in our lifetimes, and one of the results is mayhem like this. The shift has suddenly made violence against humans (as opposed to animals) imaginable—whereas in the past, most people could live their whole life without witnessing or taking part in a gunfight. The videos emphasize the bad things that can happen to you if your draw time is too slow, or your magazine too small. Now one can watch videos and imagine oneself not stalking a deer but defending others, in improbable heroic scenarios once limited to action movies.
That is the fantasy that seemed to have motivated Rittenhouse’s trip to Kenosha. He was interviewed hours before the shooting by The Daily Caller’s Richie McGinniss. He explained his presence in Kenosha by saying that “people are getting injured, and our job is to protect this business.” He looks preposterously young for this role, not like some ’roid-crazed militiaman but like a kid who has somehow guessed that the code to his father’s gun locker is his own birthday. Rittenhouse has been called a “white supremacist,” but none of his comments during interviews at the scene mention race. (Other comments may surface later, and his social-media accounts reportedly show plenty of sympathy for cops, and none for the protesters.) Instead his comments mention what is by far the most common topic in gun-enthusiast channels, which is what to do to preserve life and property using guns.
Before the advent of these videos, to be a concealed carrier meant entering uncharted cognitive territory. If you have never walked around with a gun in your pocket, you probably have poor intuitions about how it feels—the power; the discomfort of having a hunk of metal or plastic impeding your gait and mobility; most of all, the sense of responsibility. The writer Dan Baum strapped on a .38 in the course of researching a 2013 book on gun culture and described the experience well:
Everything around me appeared brilliantly sharp, the colors extra rich, the contrasts shockingly stark. I could hear footsteps on the pavement two blocks away ... It made me more organized. Wearing the gun, I was Mr. Together. There was no room for screwing up when I was equipped to kill.
Baum would avoid trouble, because he didn’t want to be anywhere near a fistfight, unstable people, or anything that might raise the possibility that he would fire his gun. The feeling of empowerment comes with a wearying imperative of caution: You do not seek out danger, and instead you live the most boring life possible, to avoid using the murder machine you have for some reason decided to attach awkwardly to your midsection.
What distinguishes Baum, who crossed the street to avoid violence, from Rittenhouse, who carried openly and crossed state lines to find violence? One is a seersucker-wearing, middle-aged journalist, and the other is an adolescent. The other salient difference, though, is that at 17, Rittenhouse has never known a world where owning a gun did not go along with what is sometimes known as the “sheepdog mentality”—the belief that your gun exists to protect others, and that you should rush in to perform that duty. Many of the gun videos you find online emphasize exactly this, to an audience of men.
The channels are not sinister in themselves. Correia combines old-fashioned moralism—including regular reminders that you are accountable to Jesus and the law for every round you fire, and that acts of brutality toward the vulnerable are among the worst you can commit—with extreme violence. I came away from a day with Correia thinking that the world is probably a safer place because he is packing heat.
But the videos themselves are insidious. Most people in the United States, allowing for wild variation in race, class, and education, are victims of violence only very rarely. Watching the videos, however, invites you to simulate violence at an extraordinary rate, much higher than we are mentally equipped to manage. (Correia himself has seen tens of thousands of them, and he posts a new one to his channel about once or twice a day.) The effect of these videos is to habituate viewers to that violence, to train them to imagine themselves in it. Training yourself to imagine something makes it seem more likely to happen, and primes your instincts to react to it—and, I suspect, initiate that violent reaction and overdo it when circumstances could be resolved more peacefully.
Rittenhouse appears to have been living in a fantasy world where police and car dealerships are more endangered than unarmed Black men in traffic stops, and where he was a warrior and self-defender, rather than a youngster who foolishly enrolled himself in a midwestern version of the Children’s Crusade. I can only imagine his fear when he saw the crowd coming for him—and the crowd’s fear, when it saw that a near-child was wildly firing a rifle better suited to a person with judgment and good training. I do not expect that the jury will be forgiving.

- A group of suspended National Union of Metalworkers officials accused the union of cutting corners to hold their interdicted national congress in Cape Town.
- Numsa held a special central committee meeting on Tuesday, which it said would rectify the congress inconsistencies raised by the Labour Court.
- While a small number of Numsa members were seen at the Cape Town ICC in their regalia on Tuesday morning, the congress did not officially commence.

A group of suspended National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (Numsa) officials have, in an internal memo, accused the national leadership of trying to find a shortcut to continuing with its national congress in Cape Town, which was interdicted by the Labour Court.
The Labour Court in Johannesburg ruled on Saturday that the congress could not take place until concerns regarding the suspension of 31 Numsa officials were addressed. The suspended officials went to the Labour Court to challenge their suspension from the union and the court found their suspension "unconstitutional, invalid, and unenforceable in law".
Among the suspended officials is Numsa's second deputy president and South African Federation of Trade Unions (Saftu) president Ruth Ntlokotse. She says her suspension blocked her from running for the position of Numsa president at the congress.
Lawyers of the suspended officials on Monday urged the union not to go ahead with the event, as they would be in contempt of court if they did so. Numsa's lawyers responded that the union leadership would hold a special central committee meeting to address the concerns raised by the Labour Court in its order so that it could proceed with the congress on Tuesday.
But in their memo, the suspended officials point out that Numsa's Mpumalanga region remains under administration, which the court had ruled contravened its constitution. It also notes that Mpumalanga needs to have gone to a regional elective congress with its February membership figures.
Numsa secretary-general Irvin Jim told reporters earlier this month that Mpumalanga would not be able to attend the conference.
The memo from suspended officials further claims Numsa's national leadership is attempting to cherry-pick who is invited to the congress, adding that there can be "no shortcut".
It wants all delegates in attendance to be verified, subscription-paying members, with six months' notice being given before convening the national congress again.
Fin24 saw small groups in Numsa regalia gather at the Cape Town International Convention Centre on Tuesday morning, with some entering the hall where the union's national congress was scheduled to take place.
According to a statement on Monday night, Numsa mulled a special central committee meeting to be scheduled on Tuesday. But this too was threatened with legal action by the dissident group of Numsa members who brought the original interdict.
A source present at the gathering in Cape Town told Fin24 that the credentials committee started sitting after 15:00 on Tuesday.
The media accreditation centre remained locked on Tuesday morning. After reporters gathered to wait for their media accreditation, they were later told that the media would not be accredited on Tuesday. The union called security to distance reporters from the hall where the congress had been scheduled to take place and removed them from the CTICC building altogether.
A phalanx of security guards from two private companies lines the entrance to the cavernous hall 2 where tables, chairs and bottles of water had initially been set out in preparation for some 2 000 delegates.

A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja will, decide whether or not to grant the Federal Government’s application seeking protection of witnesses in the on-going trial of the seven suspected Boko Haram leaders, who were allegedly involved in the kidnap and murder of eleven foreign nationals between 2011 and 2013.
Counsel to the Federal Government, Shuaibu Labaran, in the application, prayed that the identity of prosecution witnesses should not be disclosed and that the prosecution witnesses should be protected with pseudo names in the course of the trial.
In his objection, counsel to the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th and 7th defendants, Samuel Attah told the court that part of the grounds for the prosecution’s application were offensive to the provision of the Evidence Act., adding that some of the paragraphs were incompetent and thus should be struck out.
According to him, an operative of the Department of State Services (DSS) who deposed to the affidavit in support of the prosecution”s motion said he got information from Shaibu Labaran, an external fact, which he said was not acceptable as the person who sworn to the affidavit did not carry out the investigation.
Counsel to the 3rd defendant, Elijsha Oloruntoba, in his submission, said “It is our humble submission that some of the grounds of the application are incompetent, especially ground one, which is against the Evidence Act, which he said should be struck out.”.
In his own submission, K. Abdulkarim, representing the 6th defendant was not opposed to trying the defendants in secret but was against some of the grounds and begged the court to expunge the paragraph in the affidavit that offends provisions of the Evidence Act.
“Section 150 of the Evidence Act of 2011 and Section 36 of the Constitution as amended said affidavit shall not contain extraneous facts
However, Labaran told the court that since the defendants’ counsel did not object to all the paragraphs of the application, there were still grounds for the application to succeed and urged the court to grant the applicant.
