I can’t fall asleep unless I’ve torn through the pages of an excellent novel first, and I probably read three or four books a week. I devour commercial fiction in all different genres, and it’s not easy to narrow down my favourites. But the following twelve books, in no particular order, are the reads that I just can’t get out of my mind because they’re that spectacular.
The Arrangement, by Robyn Harding
I’ve inhaled all of Robyn Harding’s books, but The Arrangement really hooked me right from the first line. Take Natalie, a desperate art student; a sugar baby website; Gabe, a rich, older man; add in a murder, and you’ve got the most tantalizing story-line. It's a fantastic, emotional, twisted, perfectly paced read, set against a vivid New York City backdrop, and is so seductive I couldn’t put it down.
Hurry Home, by Roz Nay
Roz Nay is a remarkable writer. In her forthcoming novel, Hurry Home, which will be released in July, 2020, she weaves a taut, stunning, suspenseful, gripping tale about two sisters, Alexandra and Ruth Van Ness, forever connected through their lies and losses. It delves into child protection, the bond of sisterhood, and how two people deal very differently with a past trauma. Captivating and brilliant twists and turns, expert plotting and pacing, and an emotional, incredibly satisfying ending, it’s a must-read page turner.
Still Mine, by Amy Stuart
Amy Stuart’s debut, Still Mine, which released in 2016, is extraordinary. Set in the remote mining town of Blackmore, Still Mine has one of the snappiest titles I’ve ever seen. With a deft hand, Stuart tackles heavy and important themes of drug addiction and domestic violence, and small-town secrets and lies. With a cast of extremely well-drawn, unreliable characters, the one I connected to most is the protagonist, Clare, who’s on the run and becomes tasked with finding Shayna, a missing girl. Full of brilliant twists, gritty and atmospheric, this novel is unforgettable and sensational.
The Last Resort, by Marissa Stapley
I’ve devoured all of Marissa Stapley’s books and each has affected me deeply. The Last Resort takes place against the gorgeous setting of the Mayan Riviera at The Harmony Resort—a couples’ retreat run by married doctors Miles and Grace Markell. I had just returned from the Mayan Riviera when I read this powerful, haunting book and could completely immerse myself in the pages because Stapley describes the location so authentically. More than the geography, though, it’s the layered, very real characters I was so intrigued by. Each has their own struggle to grapple with, and as their intricate stories unfold in chilling and twisted ways, a deadly tropical storm is heading straight for them. It’s an emotional and explosive read that hooked me from the first line to the last.
Natalie Tan's Book of Luck and Fortune, by Roselle Lim
The stunning cover of Roselle Lim’s debut is just the beginning of its beauty. From the lyrical prose that evokes so much emotion to the sprinkling of magic in the pages, Natalie Tan’s Book of Luck and Fortune is stunning. And the food! A novel about love, loss, family obligation, and finding oneself, it’s an astonishing read.
The Choices We Make, by Karma Brown
Every Karma Brown book has made me cry. She excels at creating real, fully fleshed out characters working through extremely difficult situations, and The Choices We Make made me sob. Hannah and Kate, best friends since childhood, would do anything for each other. When Hannah and her husband are unable to have a baby on their own, Kate offers to be their egg donor and surrogate. All is wonderful until a gut-wrenching tragedy hits both families, threatening to tear them apart and destroy their happiness. What unfolds is both devastating and hopeful, and ultimately heart-breaking and beautiful.
Sister Dear, by Hannah Mary McKinnon
I’ve read all of Hannah Mary McKinnon’s suspense novels and loved them, but her forthcoming book, Sister Dear, releasing May 26, 2020, takes her mastery of character development to a whole other level. When Eleanor Hardwicke loses her beloved dad, she’s shocked to find out he wasn’t her biological father. Grieving and untethered, Eleanor sets out to find this man who is. She’s stunned to discover she also has a half-sister, Victoria, seemingly perfect and poised, everything Eleanor is not. Layer by brilliant layer, McKinnon captures the essence of twisted sisters in this slow-burn domestic suspense that hurtles to a shocking, fiery climax you won't see coming.
Secret Lives of Mothers & Daughters, by Anita Kushawa
Ottawa-based author Anita Kushwaha is a phenomenal talent. I was mesmerized by the early copy I read of Secret Lives of Mothers & Daughters, releasing on January 28, 2020. It’s a stunning, gorgeously written intergenerational tale about Veena, Mala, and Nandini, three very different mothers, each harboring their own secrets, and a young woman named Asha, who links them all. A layered, emotional, powerful story about duty, desire, and the secrets we keep in the name of love, it’s a book I savored through every word.
The Jane Austen Society, by Natalie Jenner
The cover for The Jane Austen Society, the debut novel by Oakville author Natalie Jenner, which releases May 26, 2020, is stop-in-your-tracks exquisite. And while the title might make readers assume that they need to be die-hard Jane Austen fans to enjoy this charming, beautiful novel, you don't even have to have read her. Because this book is really about what connects and bonds us all. Jenner does such an impressive job of introducing eight very different main characters, four men and four women, each of them grappling with how to find hope and purpose in post-WWII England. I loved how imaginative, moving, and witty this book was, often all at the same time.
Jar of Hearts, by Jennifer Hillier
From the intriguing title and stunning cover to the killer premise, Jar of Hearts is simply unforgettable. It’s a dark, intense, captivating, and terrifying story of obsession and lies. Fourteen years after sixteen-year-old Angela Wong disappears, her remains are found near her childhood best friend, Georgina (Geo) Shaw’s home. Angela’s other best friend, Kaiser Brody, is now a detective who’s sure Geo knows what happened to Angela the night she went missing. When more bodies turn up, killed in the same manner as Angela, the trail leads to alleged serial killer, Calvin James, Geo’s first love. Gripping, shocking, and absolutely riveting, this is a book that I still think about often, months after finishing it.
Sorry I Missed You, by Suzy Krause
I love quirky books that make me laugh, cry, and inspire me all at the same time. Books that make we want to have dinner with the author because I know she must be a special person. Such is Sorry I Missed You, out June 2, 2020, by Saskatchewan-based author Suzy Krause. Quirky, original, hilarious, and poignant, it’s an unforgettable read with a knockout premise. With ghosts from their pasts, and perhaps real ones in their present, four strangers connect through one rental unit, and their combined searches for someone who has disappeared from each of their lives. Inspiring and heart-warming, this novel is a delight.
The Couple Next Door, by Shari Lapena
There’s nothing scarier for a mother to read about than a couple enjoying a dinner party next door only to come home to find their infant daughter missing. It’s that terror that made me whip through the pages of Shari Lapena’s explosive debut,The Couple Next Door. Delicious, superbly drawn characters Anne and Marco Conti, and Detective Rasbach make this a nerve-wracking, addictive, fully satisfying read.
A moment on the subway platform changes two women’s lives forever—a debut thriller that will take your breath away.
A total stranger on the subway platform whispers, “Take my baby.”
She places her child in your arms. She says your name.
Then she jumps...
In a split second, Morgan Kincaid’s life changes forever. She’s on her way home from work when a mother begs her to take her baby, then places the infant in her arms. Before Morgan can stop her, the distraught mother jumps in front of an oncoming train.
Morgan has never seen this woman before, and she can’t understand what would cause a person to give away her child and take her own life. She also can’t understand how this woman knew her name.
The police take Morgan in for questioning. She soon learns that the woman who jumped was Nicole Markham, prominent CEO of the athletic brand Breathe. She also learns that no witness can corroborate her version of events, which means she’s just become a murder suspect.
To prove her innocence, Morgan frantically retraces the last days of Nicole’s life. Was Nicole a new mother struggling with paranoia or was she in danger? When strange things start happening to Morgan, she suddenly realizes she might be in danger, too.
Woman on the Edge is a pulse-pounding, propulsive thriller about the lengths to which a woman will go to protect her baby—even if that means sacrificing her own life.
Samantha M. Bailey is the author of Woman on the Edge, a gripping debut thriller about motherhood, gaslighting, and paranoia. Samantha is a Toronto-based novelist, journalist and freelance editor. She was a writer-in-residence for Kobo Writing Life at Book Expo America 2013. She is the co-founder of “BookBuzz,” a promotional and interactive author-reader event held in New York City and Toronto.

A2P SMS Market – Increased Consumer Preference to Online Banking Services Boost Demands
Massive proliferation of application-to-person (A2P) messages in areas such as mobile banking, mobile payments, and mobile health services has led to significant expansion of the global A2P SMS market in the past few years. SMSs are extensively used as effective tools for customer engagement, customer service, activation and authentication, and as service delivery functions by enterprises and organizations.
A2P SMS is one form of service in which SMS is sent from a web based application to a mobile subscriber. Owing to the provision of a secure and reliable operator channel and improvement in end-user experience, A2P SMSs are being widely used in industries such as tourism, banking and financial services institutions, ecommerce, entertainment, and healthcare.
On the basis of application, the global A2P SMS market is categorized into interactive services, pushed content services, promotional campaigns, inquiry related services, and customer relationship management (CRM) services. Of these, the segment of CRM services is expected to emerge as one of the key consumers of A2P SMSs owing to increased demand for billing and transactional services across the E-commerce and BFSI industries.
Obtain Brochure For Latest Technology Advancements @ https://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/sample/sample.php?flag=S&rep_id=3474
Geographically, the markets in Asia Pacific and North America, respectively, held the two leading spots in the global market in 2015. The leading position of the Asia Pacific market is chiefly attributed to the region’s large population base and the continuous increase in the number of mobile subscriptions. The thriving BFSI and E-commerce industries in developing economies in the region have also contributed to the increased demand for A2P SMS services.
Some of the leading companies operating in the global A2P SMS market profiled in the report are Syniverse Technologies, LLC, AMD Telecom S.A., Fortytwo Telecom AB., CLX Communications AB, Ogangi Corporation, Silverstreet BV, Tanla Solutions Ltd., Symsoft AB, Cybercomm, Infobip Ltd, Route Mobile Limited, Angkor Data Communication Group Co., Ltd., tyntec, nexmo, and DIMOCO.

ReviewI've had my car in the shop now 6 times to fix the front suspension. There is a huge clunking noise whenever I go over bumps. The entire front suspension has been replaced (1 control arm, both struts and all the linkage) and the problem is still there. Did I mention that I only have 30K miles on the car. I miss my 2004 Grand Prix GTP, hands down a better car. As soon as the suspension is fixed I am getting rid of this car.

Yvonne Rempel faced trauma from the day she was born. Her childhood left her with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
At 17 I was kicked out of the house, and I went on a very destructive path because I didn’t have options. I had no structure. I didn’t know who I was, other than raising my brothers and sisters, other than trying to please my mother.
Following a difficult upbringing, she experienced a life transformation in her early 20s.
She’s come a long way since then and now helps others break free from their past to become the person they were meant to be.
Yvonne is this week’s guest on my podcast, Bleeding Daylight. You can hear her story on Bleeding daylight wherever you find podcasts or use the audio player below.

When she was just seven years old, Amy Watson’s mother left her in the care of two notorious serial killers. She spent several years in a children’s home and later her abusive husband tried to kill her.
Amy has faced unimaginable trauma but her story is also one of healing and forgiveness.
Sandy Phillips Kirkham is the author of the book Let Me Prey Upon You. It details how a youth pastor preyed upon her, a betrayal that left her broken, with a shattered faith, and the ultimate shame of being blamed and forced from the church she loved.
From their very first meeting, the new youth minister slowly and methodically turned the sacred relationship of a trusted spiritual leader to one of abuse: sexual, emotional, and physical. When his actions were discovered, he was simply moved to another church, leaving Sandy to pay for his deeds. She was not his first victim, nor would she be his last.
Despite a successful and happy life as a wife, mother, and friend, Sandy successfully concealed her abuse for twenty-seven years until a trigger forced her to face the truth. Sandy’s story will take you on her journey of healing which began in 2004, first by seeking justice and closure from both the pastor and the church. Her strength and courage will inspire you.
It’s a story of sexual abuse which may be confronting for some people. It’s also a story of hope and healing.
Mary has written Not Marked, an honest book that provides a way towards healing for abuse victims and their families.
Sexual abuse does NOT need to mark you.
It did mess with me. For far too many years. Flashbacks invaded my sleep. I startled far too easily. Sex within marriage became scary and complicated. I often wondered if I’d ever be normal. I even disconnected from those I loved the most.
The mark that sexual abuse gave me felt indelible, permanently inked with a Sharpie pen. And no matter of scrubbing erased it. (Have you ever felt this way?)
The problem was, I felt that I should be “over” it (and well-meaning people said those same things to me.) After all, I became a Christian, and I heard all those sermons about everything being made brand spanking new. I believed that when I met Jesus, all those scars and marks and fears would instantly leave.
This book has amazing potential to help those who feel they’ve been marked by sexual abuse but Mary needs help to fund the publishing of the book.
Mary needs your help now to reach her goal so that others can be be helped and healed. Please visit her indiegogo page and consider making a contribution.

I’ve been thinking recently about all the fractured people I know. I know people who have messed up badly in the past and are still paying the consequences, sometimes years after the event. They’ve made life choices that have made circumstances difficult, not only for them, but for people close to them and many others around them. Their actions have triggered splashes that will still be causing ripples for a long time. They’ve destroyed relationships, torn families apart or caused deep divisions between friends.
I know people that are incredibly sorry for the pain that they’ve caused others and some who still don’t really care or who try to justify their actions.
Many of these people are very dear to me and I consider them to be close friends. Why do I stay close to such people? I look at myself at times and see a person that I don’t always like all that much. I’m fractured too. I’ve hurt people and let people down. It’s never been my intention to do that, but like you, I’m fractured.
Part of life
Pain and disappointment seem to be a natural part of life and I think it does us well to remember that. Not so that we can sit around feeling sorry for ourselves or letting the bitterness destroy us. We must also resist the temptation to use that as an excuse to carry on hurting others. We need to remember that hurt is a part of life so we don’t spend our days yearning for something that’s not going to happen. There isn’t going to be a time when we won’t have to deal with struggles. Some will be caused by ourselves and by those close to us. Other struggles will come through external circumstances or people we don’t know.
We often can’t control our circumstances but we can control how we react and what we turn those circumstances into.
I know many people whose lives have been fractured by the mistakes and carelessness of others. My heart goes out to them and I wish I was able to heal their hurts but while I can be there for them at times I can’t change the past for them.
Let the healing begin
Thankfully, while it can be hard to hide the scars, there can be healing. I’m glad that the more I explore issues of faith, the more I discover a deep forgiveness and healing. It’s not the forgiveness that comes from a glib ‘sorry’ but a deep, heartfelt, internal knowledge that the past is over and I can start again. It’s not the kind of healing that comes from time, that’s just denial. It’s a healing that goes deep and touches each hurt.
If anyone has tried to offer you any kind of Christianity that accuses instead of heals or brings guilt instead of forgiveness, let me assure you, they’re selling a forgery.
The kind of faith I’m talking about is the type that connects you to a person named Jesus, not to a list of rules and doctrines. The kind of faith that I’m talking about lets me know that no matter what happens and no matter what struggles I’m facing, I’m not facing them alone. And in the good times or the bad times, I know I’m right where I need to be.

Likely outcome to 3 std dev + bull volatileFeb 15, 2021
As I've been saying, the group of knowledge and skill we have put together in the Trading Lab is amazing! A number our members have already partnered up and collaborated on building their own trading strategies for their own unique needs. Not to mention our live portfolio us up over 40%, and that includes the hedges we put on earlier this month in $QQQ and $GLD to protect our downside.
Today is the last day that you'll be able to join the Trading Lab at these prices, we will be doubling them tomorrow. You can lock in your price forever if you sign up today.
On to the markets...
You'll notice that I've been a lot more prolific with my emails this past week. That's because things are getting very interesting.
For the past 5 or so months I have been the most bullish guy on Wall Street. Buying dip after dip, buying rip after rip. I was telling everyone I know to buy for any reason that they could think of, buy because the market dropped, buy because it rallied, buy because the day of the week ended in Y.
That's because we were in a Bull Quiet market regime, and that's exactly how you trade it. Prices will resolve higher, so just be long and be as long as you can be. You could make a career out of finding only Bull Quiet markets and piling in, then spending the rest of the time not doing anything...and you'd still run circles around most people.
But there are some storm clouds ahead.
First, we find ourselves smack dab in the middle of a Bull Volatile market regime. Unlike Bull Quiet, the Volatile version is quite violent. The most notable feature of a Bull Volatile regime is that it is a requirement to a major market top, but doesn't signal a major market top.
If you are in a Bull Quiet regime and you get a big selloff, it will be bought back up and will be short lived. If you are in a Bull Volatile regime and you get a big selloff, expect it to go even further and be much worse.
Bull Volatile regimes generally mark a cooling off period in markets that get a bit too hot, so while you may not get a major market top, you can spend some time holding a price level to to realign everything.
Next September is historically (tested back to 1929), the weakest month of the year. Again, this isn't a complete certainty that September will be weak, but 90 years of data says that it often times is.
None of those are quite that definitive to confirm weakness ahead.
More definitive is a market closing its month above 3 std deviations. >3 standard deviations most often precedes a decent selloff. But when you stack the Bull Volatile market regime along with >3 std deviation monthly close, you get a lot more reliability.
Going back to the year 2000, this is the outcomes each time $NQ was in a Bull Volatile and closed the month >3 std deviations:
- 7/07 -10%
- 9/09 -5%
- 4/12 -12%
- 12/13 -1%
- 8/14 -10%
- 4/17 +1%
- 5/17 -7%
- 1/18 -13%
- 12/19 +5%
- 2/20 -30%
There were 10 instances, 2 were positive, and 8 were negative, 4 of which were -10% or worse (ahem CoVid19).
All of this points to the POTENTIAL for weakness ahead, but doesn't confirm it, so don't go buy a mountain of puts on $AAPL because Chris has put together this bear case.
My plan remains to maintain my long positions, possibly lighten up a little big and to hedge with options.
There is still a mountain of capital that has not yet been deployed. I spoke to a friend who has $2bn under management and he is only about 20% long sitting on 80% cash. This coincides with what Alex Barrow @MacroOps shared today in his weekly "Dirty Dozen" newsletter (which you should subscribe to).
TLDR; Hedge Funds have missed the rally, and they need to enter this market or get fired by their clients.
Like Alex, I believe they are simply waiting for an opportunity to deploy capital in big ways. They've spent the last 5 months listening to clients ask them why they aren't investing their money, why clients are paying management fee's to sit in cash. You better believe they have a plan to get long in the, ahem, historically worse performing month of the year as they need to finish Q4 strong so as not to have a pile of redemptions show up January 2021.
You can also look at this as if the market keeps pushing higher from here, they WILL be forced to buy, and you can almost guarantee that they won't be buying a lot of $FAANG stocks.
And don't forget to Join us in the lab prices will double tomorrow
If you like my work, consider forwarding to a friend or colleague as a thanks!

Chicago’s The Talking Farm is a nonprofit educational venture that teaches and provides experiences in farming for local kids, interns, and us general public types. We attended a TF “Farm Dinner” last evening to check them out and get educated. We came away impressed, edified, and with a new idea about how to help out in the fight against the urban food desert.
On two-and-a-half acres in a close-in Chicago suburb, The Talking Farm grows a wide variety of veggies, herbs, and fruit to bring the realities and benefits of local, sustainable agriculture to us all. Operating since 2006, The Talking Farm is a community-based sustainability gem, producing 6,000+ lbs of organic produce for local restaurants, a CSA, and food-for-the needy programs. Ten percent of output goes to help provision food banks.
The “talking” part of the farm’s work happens when their “farmer-educators” teach about the significance of locally and sustainably-grown food on the environmental, social justice, and health issues facing our communities. They teach how to take a personal part in a more sustainable, ecologically-balanced, and healthy future.
I hope you have a talking farm near you.

Joanna Gaines and Chip Gaines welcomed their fifth child, son Crew, in June 2018, and Joanna recently revealed that her latest pregnancy actually forced her to make a big change to her newest project.
Joanna released a children's book, We Are the Gardeners, this month, something the designer had started working on before finding out that she was pregnant with Crew. In a new post on her blog, the mom of five revealed that thanks to illustrator Julianna Swaney, baby Crew is also a part of the book, as he was included in the artwork after his birth.
"We actually started this project before we knew Crew would be joining the family, so Julianna was kind enough to add him into the illustrations after he was born," Joanna shared. "She really brought our family to life on every page."
Crew was also included in another part of the project, with his mom writing that she recorded We Are the Gardeners' audiobook with all five her kids.
"My hope for this book is that it inspires families to want to get out and connect in fun, creative ways — whether or not it’s in the garden," Joanna wrote. "It could be sewing or painting or cooking together. Whatever it may be, at the end of the day there’s always something to learn and I believe taking the time to try something new together makes it all the more meaningful."
We Are the Gardeners tells the story of the Gaines family and their garden, a place they've enjoyed together for years.
"Since they were little, we’ve always had some scope of garden in our yard — whether it was only several feet wide or much larger like the one we’re growing at the farm today," Joanna wrote of her kids. "It has always been a place where I go to retreat or unwind, or to simply spend some time in nature — and of course any time my kids would join me was always more fun."
"When I started to ask for their help in the garden, I found that, like me, as soon as their hands hit the soil they were hooked. Over the years, we’ve had to learn by trial and error because a garden is hard work — plain and simple. There have been times where we’ve all been frustrated and could have thrown in the towel, but thankfully, the garden has always called us back."1comments
We Are the Gardeners is just one of the many projects Joanna has overseen, as the Fixer Upper star also helms a shopping complex, multiple product lines, a magazine, a restaurant and more.

If Labor wins next weekends election on January 31 Queensland students in Queensland are set to benefit from Labor’s plan to retain the best teachers in state school classrooms.
Opposition Leader Annastacia Palaszczuk and possible next Queensland Premier said “What we have seen over the years, is teachers leaving our profession, to get higher paid jobs in other fields of work”
Labor’s plan is to modernise the teaching profession and encourage the very best to remain where they can be most effective for Queensland’s students – in the classroom
“I want our best teachers, standing in front of the classrooms, giving the best possible education to our students.” stated Ms Palaszczuk.
Under Labor’s policy excellent experienced teachers will be able to be classed as Highly Accomplished or Lead Teachers with pay grades that properly reflect their value to students and the education system.
— AnnastaciaPalaszczuk (@AnnastaciaMP) January 24, 2015
“..a Labor Government will establish classifications for the most effective teachers that will give them the chance to advance their careers and have their abilities recognised without the need to leave the classroom.”
Under Labor the plan is experienced teachers could be classed as Highly Accomplished or Lead Teachers with pay grades that reflect their value to the education system in Queensland and to retain the best in Queensland’s education system.
Ms Palaszczuk “We have great teachers in our state and our Letting Teachers Teach policy will enable them to have a secure career path into the future.”
Labor is also determined to restore respect to the teaching profession. Queensland Labor will elevate the profession to ensure teachers have a high standing in the community. Queensland Labor has said this will enable teachers to deliver a high-quality education system to our children free from the constant threat of being sacked.
If elected Labor will hire an additional 2500 teachers in Queensland state schools over three years to cope with enrolment growth, put downward pressure on class sizes and allow high schools to hire specialist teachers.

Forklift trucks travelling at speed in congested areas put people, products and infrastructure at risk and is a major contributor to transport related incidents at work.
There are a number of speed restricting products available for forklift trucks, but the advanced radio technology created by the Davis Derby team at TruckLOG is truly unique. The innovative speed zoning technology is now available as standard option on the existing TruckLOG TK5 System and can also be purchased as a stand-alone product.
The TruckLOG TK5 Speed Zoning System uses a series of strategically located routers around the site to create a speed controlled zone. When vehicles enter these zones the system triggers a limited vehicle travel speed. The system can also be used to restrict the trucks’ reach height.
Ensuring best practice and improving health and safety standards in warehouse and distribution environments is what gives the Davis Derby TruckLOG systems global recognition, and this new product is further testament to how the company continues to put the customer first.
Dave Randle, Operations Manager at Davis Derby added: “Approved by a number of truck manufacturers we have found that many of our customers require the flexibility of being able to use speed zoning technology as part of the standard TK5 system or as a product on its own.
“We recognise that working within a busy materials handling environment presents many challenges for pedestrians and drivers and that’s why our products include speed zoning as part of the standard package. However, we have developed this product so it can be purchased as a stand-alone speed zoning system ensuring that the safety of people is the priority, rather than being potentially limited by the systems they operate.”
Davis Derby is a world leader in the design and manufacture of forklift truck access control and fleet management systems, and the designers of the TruckLOG TK5 and Speed Zoning system are reputed to continue to develop technology that marks them one step ahead of similar products.
Apart from having an in-house technical design team the company always put their customers first and customer’s contracts, new and existing, are subject to a strict quality assessment process to maintain best practice.
Davis Derby continue to develop new TruckLOG systems and they pride themselves on placing the customer firmly at the heart of design and development, this is why the company continue to be market leaders both in the UK and overseas.
TruckLOG forklift truck access control and fleet management system improves the efficienct management of forklift vehicle fleets while minimising damage to vehicles, infrastructure and finished goods and provides a complete solution for access control and fleet management:
With a growing range of software options TruckLOG provides warehouse and fleet managers the flexibility to help improve safety and productivity.

Very similar in spirit to BMD by Katatonia. The lyrical content along with the melo/death is very prevalent in the music, though it leans a bit toward progressive. The songs are varied lengths and they don't bore you. Very good listen- highly recommended.
This album is very much in the same vein as Brave Murder Day by Katatonia. It's very melodic and catchy, the vocals are great and are both harsh and clean. If your looking for some good doom metal that won't bore give this a spin! Check out their video for Lies That Bind:

Washington D.C.- The League of Conservation Voters (LCV) Action Fund, which works to elect pro-environment candidates, announced today its endorsement of Captain Mark Kelly for U.S. Senate from Arizona.
“Arizona communities are on the front lines of the climate crisis, and they deserve a U.S. Senator who is fighting for their health and their future,” said LCV Action Fund Senior Vice President of Government Affairs Tiernan Sittenfeld. “Mark Kelly is committed to commonsense climate solutions and investing in all communities in Arizona, especially the low income and communities of color that have been disproportionately impacted by pollution and environmental injustice. As an engineer, astronaut and veteran Mark Kelly knows what it takes to tackle the challenges that we face and LCV Action Fund is proud to endorse him for U.S. Senate”
“We are excited that Mark Kelly has prioritized climate change and climate justice in his Senate race,” said Chispa Arizona Political Director Gloria Montaño Greene. “Latinos, low income communities, and communities of color are on the front lines of climate change with greater exposure to extreme heat and higher levels of asthma. We need leaders ready to champion the fight against climate change, set Arizona on a course for greater sustainability and improved quality of life.”
“Between my first and fourth trips to space, I witnessed significant deforestation and other changes in our planet in just 10 years,” said Captain Mark Kelly. “As an engineer and an astronaut I value science and data, and that’s the approach I will bring to tackling climate change. Arizona is at the center of this – we are at risk of increased heat and drought as a result of climate change, but also have a great opportunity to lead in the transition to a renewable economy. I appreciate the support of LCV Action Fund, and look forward to working with LCV to protect our environment and tackle climate change for this generation and the next.”
Mark Kelly is a retired U.S. Navy officer, engineer, and astronaut. He served as a naval aviator and flew 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm, earning a number of major awards for his service. In 1996, NASA selected Kelly and his twin brother to be astronauts. He traveled to space four times serving as both the pilot and the commander of the Space Shuttle. Kelly retired from the Navy and NASA in 2011 to care for his wife, former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, during her recovery from a tragic shooting. Following the shooting, Kelly and Giffords founded an organization dedicated to promoting responsible gun ownership and common sense gun safety measures. In the Senate he will focus on investing in Arizona’s clean energy economy and ensuring that Arizonans have access to clean water for generations to come.
About LCV Action Fund
The League of Conservation Voters (LCV) Action Fund, the connected federal political action committee (PAC) of the League of Conservation Voters, works to elect leaders who stand up for a clean, healthy environment and to defeat anti-environment candidates who oppose climate action.

Over the last several years, our efforts have also helped elevate climate change and clean energy as critical issues in key elections.

MedWand Allows Patients to be Examined Anywhere Online, Turns Computers into Clinics
For Immediate Release to DPC Journal
Las Vegas, NV – April 15, 2015 – Nevada-based tech startup MedWand Solutions, Inc. will be launching its highly-anticipated MedWand telemedicine examination device on crowdfunding site Indiegogo.com on April 20, 2015.
The concept is simple – to allow secure, real-time, medical examinations with patients located remotely using a compact, affordable device. Combined with any computer or tablet, the MedWand creates an online clinic with examination capability anywhere.
The MedWand was conceived and invented by Dr. Samir Qamar, founder and CEO of MedLion Direct Primary Care, currently contracted with independent DPC providers in 25 states. “As a physician, I find it challenging to treat a patient without the ability to do a basic exam or get vitals,” says Qamar, also MedWand’s President. “Up to now, telemedicine technology has been overly focused on video consultations. Adding an examination component to a telemedicine visit dramatically improves the quality and safety of care delivered. MedWand advances the entire telemedicine industry.”
The portable MedWand, located on the patient’s end, allows providers to perform or monitor the following functions from a remote location:
- Listen to heart, lungs, and abdomen
- Real-time visualization of inner ear, eyes, nose, throat, skin
- Heart rate
- Blood oxygen saturation
- Blood pressure and blood sugar via Bluetooth
Robert Rose, MedWand’s CEO and Managing Director at Cypher Scientific, has assembled a team of visionary engineers to bring MedWand to the market. With past or present roles at Masimo, Panasonic, RED Digital Cinema, Maxim Integrated, and Sanmina, the technical team has united to produce a medical-grade, yet consumer-friendly device that is going to improve access to healthcare on several levels.
“When Dr. Qamar came to me with his vision, I immediately knew we had changed healthcare,” says Robert Rose. “With MedWand, a medical provider can virtually ‘enter’ a home, an office, a remote village, a ship, or even a plane-in-flight to perform a basic medical exam, even thousands of miles away. The possibilities are endless. We’re even working on a version for pets, called VetWand!”
“MedWand’s potential to change telemedicine through its technology is immense,” says Shailendra Mahajan, Managing Director of Industrial and Medical Solution Groups at Silicon Valley-based Maxim Integrated. “We are pleased to provide ongoing support to MedWand, and look forward to exploring more opportunities with them.”
MedWand’s crowdfunding campaign will allow pre-orders for prototypes and limited editions, including a ruggedized version that can be used with satellite links in extremely remote locations. The company has already secured orders from ordinary consumers, medical practices, and telemedicine companies.
“It’s wonderful to have crowdfunding support from patrons who will help us provide medical care in new, meaningful ways via innovative technology,” remarks Dr. Qamar. “Somewhere down the road, a life will be saved by a MedWand – and we’ll have our Indiegogo contributors to thank for it. Together, we can improve healthcare for mankind.”

A series of seven waterfalls, each pouring into the next fall below, Tamarin Falls reward a challenging trek with abundant natural beauty. It's best to hire a guide to lead you to the falls; the hike can be quite difficult, with near vertical climbs, and a guide will know the best and safest way to get you there. Likewise, he or she can tell you about what you're seeing and the landscape you're exploring. The trek to the falls leads through forest and lush vegetation, around ponds, and across wide-open expanses. The diversity of this area and the exotic plant and animal life make the trip particularly special. Adventurers can walk right alongside the falls, and even jump from the top of a small fall into the pool below. Make sure to wear proper shoes for hiking. For Tamarin Falls and beyond, use our Curepipe road trip planning site to get the most from your Curepipe vacation.

Lawyers acting for a 24 year-old Harvard Law School student have filed a class action suit against Google alleging invasion of privacy after the launch of Buzz last week.
Eva Hibnick took the step after finding herself automatically opted in to the Buzz social networking service. She consulted one of her professors who put her in contact with a legal team.
"I feel really deeply about this issue and that's why I decided to step forward," Hibnick told ABC News.
The class action suit claims to represent all 31 million Gmail users, and is demanding that Google stop such practices. The action also claims financial damages.
"It is not so much that we are expecting to get millions of people hundreds of dollars," said one of Hibnick's attorneys, Gary Mason of Mason Law Firm LLP.
"What we would like to see is a commitment from Google that it is not going to do this again the next time it launches a product."
A Google spokesperson said in a statement: "We have not yet been served, so we cannot comment on the suit until we have had a chance to review it."
The launch of Buzz has been a PR disaster for Google. The service generated a huge number of complaints from users and privacy advocates and, although Google has made a number of changes, it is clear many users are still not satisfied.

The movers and shakers of the tech and social world – Apple, Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Microsoft – employ thousands of people. Some of these employees are extremely talented. Many of them are perfectly happy working for one of those companies; after all, they are some of the best companies to work for in the US. (Really, who would turn down catered lunches and ping-pong?)
Obviously, when employees leave those companies, they take with them their ideas, skills, and all of the information they learned while working there. Many times, they start their own businesses, and that is exactly what two former Apple iAd employees did. Now they’ve got some friends from Apple’s main rival, Google.
Google Pounces on Mobile Ad Company Adelphic
According to Anthony Ha at TechCrunch, “Adelphic Mobile…has raised $10 million in Series A funding led by Google Ventures.” Adephic Mobile was founded by two former Apple employees who worked on Apple’s iAd program. The company aims to provide mobile advertisers with more pertinent targeting and better information than what is currently offered.
It’s obvious that there is little loyalty from former employees when it comes to start-ups in the tech world. But there is more to take from this story than information about Adelphic Mobile and the fact they raised lots of money from Google. (Even though I do find that interesting.)
Mobile Advertising Set to Improve?
As Anthony Ha writes, since March, “We’ve seen the launch of a number of other mobile targeting startups,” some of which were also started by former Apple iAd employees. Might we be on the cusp of an evolution in mobile advertising? Possibly.
Agencies and analysts have known for a long time that people have been utilizing mobile technology much more frequently, and much more exclusively, in the past year or so. Mobile advertising and marketing could be an important area for agencies to focus on for their clients, but currently there are problems. It’s not as easy or effective as traditional computer-based advertisements.
Nick Wingfield for the New York Times writes that the biggest roadblock for mobile advertising is that “advertisers do not know much more about the audiences they are trying to reach other than the type of cellphone they have and the wireless network they are on.” Plus, advertisers have to contend with “limited screen real estate” and much simpler, easier to navigate mobile versions of services and websites.
The Future of Mobile Advertising Might be with These Companies
Companies like Adelphic, StrikeAd, Nexagen, Admobius, and many others will be driving the development of mobile advertising in the near future. For agencies, this is something to keep an eye on because there’s no doubt mobile use is going to – at the very least – be heavily used, if not continue to become a large share of how people connect to the web.
Mobile advertising with these companies is definitely something to keep an eye on. It might not be the best place to put many resources at the moment, but as targeting and data analysis gets better, mobile ads will eventually be as good as their bigger brother on computer-based ads. There is simply too much of a market to ignore. People will develop mobile ad technology in order to garner more customers. I guess we’ll have to wait and see how things develop before mobile advertising truly takes off.
As mobile advertising improves, do you have plans to use it for your clients?

Doctors share coronavirus treatment experience with Romanian counterparts
Shanghai medical experts have stressed the importance of the timely use of oxygen therapy in treating COVID-19 patients when sharing their experiences with counterparts in Romania.
The three-hour video dialogue was organized by the Shanghai Foreign Affairs Office, Shanghai Health Commission and the Chinese embassy in Romania.
Shen Yinzhong and Qiu Zhongmin, two experts in dealing with COVID-19 in Shanghai, shared their knowledge about medication, treatment and diagnosis with nearly 100 counterparts from more than 30 hospitals and research institutions in the European country. They also answered questions raised by Romanian staff. Romania has reported 8,418 infections and 421 deaths to date.
Qiu, director of the department of respiratory and critical care medicine at Tongji Hospital, said most deaths from coronavirus in Shanghai were due to organ failure caused by insufficient oxygen supply.
He said the early use of oxygen therapy has been proved effective. Mechanical ventilation was unsatisfactory to patients in extremely critical condition.
“We should try our best to reduce the possibility of such a critical condition that extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation must be used,” he said.
He also stressed some factors medical staff should pay attention to in preventing mild cases developing into severe or critical conditions. People aged above 65 and those with underlying diseases require more attention.
Patients suffering from leukaemia or cancer should suspend chemotherapy when undergoing treatment for COVID-19 as chemotherapy may affect their immune systems.
Shen, director of Department of Medical Administration, Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center, stressed medical staff must be well trained on how to prevent exposure to the virus before entering wards.
“In Shanghai, our doctors and nurses adapt to the ward environment one day before entry," he said. "And there are supervisors who ensure they follow the correct way of putting on and taking off the protective gear."
He stressed wearing full personal protective equipment is the most effective way to prevent infection.
Andrei Baciu, the Romanian State Secretary, Ministry of Health, expressed his thanks to the Shanghai experts.

Authorities are now pro-natalist — but Chinese society is not.
In January 2016, the Chinese government formally abandoned its one child policy in favour of a two child law. And recent reports suggest that authorities are now considering abandoning population control policies all together.
Yet despite the government’s sudden change in outlook — precipitated by an ageing population and dire economic forecasts — authorities are struggling to encourage families to have more than one child. High living costs, long work hours and surging child-care expenses mean that many couples feel that they can only afford to have one child — or none. In 2017, there were 17.6 million births in China, representing 12.43 births per thousand people. However, that was a drop from 2016, when the one-child policy was first relaxed — a year that saw 12.95 births per 1,000 people.
Federal and provincial authorities are now mooting a range of policies designed to increase the birth rate. According to The Economist, several provinces now require women who are more than 14 weeks pregnant to secure the approval of three doctors in order to procure an abortion.
Health officials have taken to discouraging women from having Caesarean sections, arguing that they increase the risk of complications during a second pregnancy. Chinese courts are also beginning to tighten divorce rules by enforcing “cooling-off” periods after applications are filed—including, say critics, in some cases where a woman’s safety might be at risk.
The Times reported this week that the National Health and Family Planning Commission, the country’s peak health authority, is considering giving single women access to fertility services to help them conceive.
Yet some analysts suggest that even with these changes, it will be difficult to turn birth trends around. “China’s number of births will continue to drop dramatically, considering a sharp decrease in the number of fertile women and declining fertility willingness”, said Huang Wenzheng of the Center for China and Globalization, a Beijing-based think tank.

As one of the multitudes of ex-Seattleites now happily living in Tacoma, I love so many things about this city. Less traffic, friendlier people, PARKING, more space, affordability, amazing parks, beautiful views….the list could continue foreverrrr. However, there are a couple of things I miss about Seattle, and the main one is the lack of music venues here that attract mid-size, out of town bands. We’ve got the Tacoma Dome for gigantic productions, and I love going to The Valley, New Frontier, and Jazzbones for local shows, but I was finding myself commuting up to Seattle more than I wanted to (did I mention traffic and parking?!) to see live music.
But alas! Dreams really do come true: Alma Mater had their grand opening festivities this weekend and for a music fan living south of Seattle, it’s a real game changer. Opening weekend featured DJs and dancing, musical performances, art installations, an all-female marching band, burlesque, and lucha libre! The space itself is gorgeous-a huge multi-faceted buildout has changed this non-descript downtown building into a beautiful and inviting venue, restaurant and coffee shop (called Honey and open everyday for brunch!), and mini-park with an outdoor stage! Renovations are still continuing and in the end, Alma Mater will house, among other things, a lounge, an artist workspace, event space, and a recording studio.
There are only a couple of events planned so far, but in the coming months I can’t wait to see what they book and am so excited for Tacoma. For artists, musicians, and fans, this is such a phenomenal place!


If you’ve never heard of Milton Mapes, don’t show up to their live gigs expecting to find Milton. My favorite band ever, Milton Mapes, is an alt-country group formed as a duo in Austin, Texas, United States, in 1999, by singer/guitarist Greg Vanderpool and Roberto Sánchez and named after the band member Vanderpool’s grandfather. It just as easily sounds like a character from some lost Western epic.
The project was born from Vanderpool and Sánchez’s experience of Deep Ellum, in Texas. Theirs are songs not about people or situations, just the moments that we all go through as we strive to find a place to belong, easily sticking on the mind. It all began with a sunset In The Corner Where It All Began and it was the kind of thing that makes most sense when you immerse yourself in it.
After spending a year compiling songs in Nashville, Milton Mapes released The State Line, its first album, which consisted of a 7-song CD, in 2001. The band’s music was western and shot through with splashes of spiky electric guitar, which drew comparisons to Neil Young (Harvest) or Bruce Springsteen (Nebraska) and was well received by regional press. Soon after, it became a four piece, when Britton Beisenherz and Jim Fredley rounded out the group.
While maintaining their roots, the band knew the power of understatement, so they released Westernaire in 2003 on the Aspyr Media label, which sounded much less country than the title might suggest. The graceful Southwestern strum on “Silverbell” is all Vanderpool, but the fire doesn’t burn quite as bright on its debut, newly reissued by Aspyr. An electric guitar burns like the red clay, bridge and chorus outlawed, making it feel like a John Ford film.
My favorite song is This Kind of Danger and never have I heard anything like it before, inspiring integrity and loneliness in a ride of ups and downs. Two years later, The Blacklight Trap was the third of the several critically-acclaimed albums, a full-length one, on the Undertow label. The quintet added nothing to the roots-rock equation, and it borrowed from the best, which is why The Blacklight Trap songs are steeped in the smoldering guitar anthems of Crazy Horse, but what sets this music apart is the distilled poetic despair of its songwriting, reffering to the tragic fate of the Cherokee Nation, or the wistful longing of separated lovers and thus evoking a stark and beautiful landscape of the heart.
Shady Valleys was later released as a downloadable EP collection and compilation of B-Sides and Outtakes, in late 2005, before morphing into Monahans. Now, it shared bills with an assortment of its respected Texas acts such as Cowboy Junkies or Willie Nelson. It disbanded in 2006-2007 when they embarked on a new project and released their first disc, Low Pining, which steered hard into even more cinematic territory.
After ten years, the band reunited for a show at the Continental Club, for a night of sparse desert-rock, and for good reason.

Sega is putting together a new tie-in for this year’s Olympics, with nary a Mario or Sonic to be seen.
London 2012 – The Official Video Game of the Olympic Games (henceforth referred to as London 2012 because gah) is expected in June on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Thanks to motion control support, both console versions will have an exclusive event – Beach Volleyball for Kinect, and 25m Rapid Fire Pistol for PS Move only.
There will be more than 30 events in total, including some left out of previous games, like Keirin, 10m Synchronised Platform and Trampoline, all in authentic London venues. You’ll be able to work through and single player, online and offline multiplayer and party play modes.
In a first for the official Olympics series, there will be online, global leaderboards – so every medal you earn will help push your nation into top spot. Obviously a heavy video game territory like the US will have a massive advantage here – just like real life, hem hem.
