All fonts include the full CP437 (DOS/US) character range; fonts labeled "Plus" have extended Unicode versions, too. Most of these fonts were made for CRT or LCD monitors that didn't necessarily have square pixels, unlike current displays. Alongside the simple square-pixel versions, these fonts have aspect-corrected variants to reproduce the original appearance. For fonts that *were* originally used in square-pixel resolutions (or close enough that the difference is negligible), no aspect-corrected variants are provided. I. Fonts from the IBM PC & Family PreviousNext: PC Compatibles These are the original character sets provided with the IBM PC line (PC, XT, PCjr, AT, PS/2, etc.) in hardware or firmware, and with official add-on products from IBM, such as graphics adapters and certain versions of DOS. Naturally, they were also duplicated by a huge number of 3rd-party hardware manufacturers. IBM PC System BIOS With pre-EGA video, the system BIOS provides the default 8x8 font for graphics mode (the firmware contains only the lower 128 ASCII characters; the upper half has to be loaded separately). For EGA and up, IBM included the full version in the on-board video ROM, for text *and* graphics modes that require an 8x8 font. The wide '2x' version is seen e.g. in 160x200 (PCjr) or 320x400 (VGA). The '2y' version is what you get in 640x200 modes. Font/Charsets Aspect Sample IBM BIOS 8x8; CP437, Plus Square 1:1 Correct 5:6 IBM BIOS-2x 8x8; CP437, Plus Square 2:1 Correct 5:3 IBM BIOS-2y 8x8; CP437, Plus Square 1:2 Correct 5:12 IBM First-Generation Video - CGA/MDA IBM's first two video solutions shared the same character ROM, which provided the text mode font: neither CGA nor MDA could redefine it. Cards for the US market contained the CP437 character set; the non-US characters in the 'Plus' fonts were adapted from localized ROMs off cards sold internationally (most of the Greek, Cyrillic and Hebrew blocks), plus manual additions. CGA (Color/Graphics Adapter) and PCjr: The same ROM includes the 14-scanline font used by the MDA for its single mode – 80-column text. Its characters are stored as 8 pixels wide, but displayed with an additional 9th column: blank for most glyphs, but for box/block-drawing chars it duplicates the 8th. The same font was used on the Hercules Graphics Card and a host of other clones. Font/Charsets Aspect Sample IBM MDA 9x14; CP437, Plus Square 1:1 Correct 2:3 IBM Second-Generation Video - EGA/MCGA/VGA These adapters introduced fully programmable character sets, so DOS could now redefine them for international scripts - the multilingual 'Plus' versions here are based on various DOS code pages. 80-column text was evidently the main focus by this point: at 40 columns, the funny pixel aspect ratio makes the default font even *less* readable than CGA. EGA (and later): The EGA's text modes (and 640x350 graphics mode) use the new 8x14 font by default. The 8x8 font is identical to the PC BIOS one, but it gets its own version, since the narrower aspect ratio in 350-line modes is specific to EGA: Font/Charsets Aspect Sample IBM EGA 8x14 8x14; CP437, Plus Square 1:1 Correct 3:4 IBM EGA 8x14-2x 8x14; CP437, Plus Square 2:1 Correct 3:2 IBM EGA 8x8 8x8; CP437, Plus Square 1:1 Correct 3:4 IBM EGA 8x8-2x 8x8; CP437, Plus Square 2:1 Correct 3:2 When the EGA is used with a monochrome monitor, character cells receive a bonus 9th column just like on MDA/Hercules. The 14-line font even sports wider variants of some glyphs for this purpose. Font/Charsets Aspect Sample IBM EGA 9x14 9x14; CP437, Plus Square 1:1 Correct 2:3 IBM EGA 9x14-2x 9x14; CP437, Plus Square 2:1 Correct 4:3 IBM EGA 9x8 9x8; CP437, Plus Square 1:1 Correct 2:3 IBM EGA 9x8-2x 9x8; CP437, Plus Square 2:1 Correct 4:3 VGA/MCGA (and later): 3270 PC (IBM 5271): This one has some rather exotic video hardware, but also offers a basic 80x25 text mode with a distinct, (mostly) sans-serif 9x14 font. Unlike most PC hardware fonts, the 9th column is stored in the actual bitmap data. Font/Charsets Aspect Sample IBM 3270pc 9x14; CP437 Square 1:1 Correct 2:3 PGC (Professional Graphics Controller): Mostly based on CGA, the Convertible adds support for redefinable 8x8 charsets. The default is a rather elaborate serif font, which IBM also used as a basis for PC-DOS 3.20's LCD-specific codepages. The squat, built-in monochrome LCD had square pixels at 640x200 (that's 16:5 - how's that for you widescreen fanatics?), but the optional external monitor was a regular 4:3 CRT, so the aspect-corrected versions are based on that. Font/Charsets Aspect Sample IBM Conv 8x8; CP437 Square 1:1 Correct 5:6 IBM CONV-2x 8x8; CP437 Square 2:1 Correct 5:3 IBM CONV-2y 8x8; CP437 Square 1:2 Correct 5:12 PS/2 Model 30 (early revision): In the earliest variant of the PS/2 Model 30 (the 'rev. 0' BIOS dated 09/02/86), the built-in 8x16 font is slightly different from the MCGA/VGA font of the later units: "0", "O", "ß", and characters with descenders and umlauts are closer to their EGA forms. The Model 30 is MCGA-only, so there is no 9-dot-wide version. Font/Charsets Aspect Sample IBM Model30r0 8x16; CP437 Square 1:1 Correct 5:6 IBM Model30r0-2x 8x16; CP437 Square 2:1 Correct 5:3 PS/2 16-Bit ISA Models (alternate fonts): The PS/2's Japanese cousin had generously large bitmap fonts to support that language's various scripts. Since full CJK fonts are outside the scope of this collection, the version here is a CUSTOM REMAPPING to CP437 (with supplements). Internally the bitmaps are 12x24 dots. Later, they were replicated in IBM DOS/V for generic PCs; at least the half-width Latin alphanumerics appear to be exactly the same, so this version is almost identical to the "JP-24" font in the DOS/V section. Almost, but not quite: the PS/55's display adapter padded the characters to 13x29, so this font follows suit. Font/Charsets Aspect Sample IBM PS/55 re. 13x29; CP437 Square 1:1 8514/A, XGA, XGA-2, Image Adapter/A - Adapter Interface drivers: These are a bit of an exception here, since they're not really hardware fonts. IBM's more advanced PC video standards had, among other things, hardware-accelerated text output for their high-resolution graphics modes. These were accessed with an API called simply the Adapter Interface ("AI"), and the AI drivers for DOS contained some fonts for this purpose. (There's also an 8x14 size, but it basically copies the EGA/VGA font.) True text modes remained purely a VGA function, although XGA(-2) had integrated the VGA part into the chipset, so they still used the same fonts as VGA. Font/Charsets Aspect Sample IBM XGA-AI 7x15 7x15; CP437 Square 1:1 IBM XGA-AI 12x20 12x20; CP437, Plus Square 1:1 IBM XGA-AI 12x23 12x23; CP437 Square 1:1 Fonts from Specific IBM PC-DOS Versions These are NOT what most would call "the" DOS fonts, since DOS normally uses the video hardware's character set (or .CPI versions that strongly resemble it). Still, a number of DOS versions provided different fonts for specific purposes. ISO-compliant IBM PC-DOS fonts: Starting with IBM PC-DOS 5.02 (and later in MS-DOS as well), the "ISO.CPI" file included a bunch of new 8x16 codepage fonts. These were intended to comply with the (then-new) ISO standard for display ergonomics, namely ISO 9241-3:1992, "Ergonomics - Office Work with Visual Display Terminals (VDTs) - Visual Display Requirements", which went into extreme detail regarding character height, stroke width, size uniformity, spacing, and so on so forth.

Comments from the Community Posted By: JFASI about 11 years, 4 months ago Very nice pic, however, the lighthouse and the lamp are falling over. Since you're using photoshop, you might as well straighten it up a little. insightful immature Posted By: about 11 years, 4 months ago This is a wallpaper site, not a "nice scene" site. This one could be sharper. The Loupe and its small thumbnails strike again? This comment is rated: immature insightful immature Posted By: Igor Borisenko Photography about 11 years, 4 months ago This is flawless and amazing wallpaper in every aspect. "the lighthouse and the lamp are falling over"... Huh??? The commentators before me need some glasses and stop smoking the stuff they been smoking lately. There is not a single flaw with this fantastic sunset. Is it the sunset effect that gets some sunset haters into their useless rants? I stopped commenting for the most part since it's the waste of time around here but grilling a flawless image is just insane. I think I had enough. Ugh... I can't believe I had to type all this. For all the naysayers I will repeat myself once again... if you don't like this site NO ONE is forcing you to come here. Stop all your whining and grow up or find another place for your worthless comments! IronRanger thanks for sharing this amazing image. I greatly appreciate it. Kudos to the "Loupe" as well. Cheers! insightful immature Posted By: knaim2 about 11 years, 4 months ago Wonderful wallpaper and picture. I understand that it's not in the best quality because you used the kit lens, but you did do a great job. You got people with the names "JOECOOL55" and "JFASI" commenting. Just disregard and keep doing what you want to do. insightful immature Posted By: radiantstar about 11 years, 4 months ago Beautiful sunrise! I love Duluth. It's such a great city. insightful immature Posted By: fifthgearonline about 11 years, 4 months ago Awesome shot of the north shore! I need to visit up there more often insightful immature Posted By: Lostnumber about 11 years, 4 months ago @igor A long, pointless rant like that is just as bad as the people you're supposeldy complaining about. People will dislike images for different reasons, how is telling them they need glasses and accusing their views of being infulenced by drugs useful? Flawless and amazing is your opinion, i think it's a great shot but the sun itself looks a bit blurred/not as sharp. My opinion, that OK with you? insightful immature Posted By: tokio90 about 11 years, 4 months ago Amazing, just amazing. Thanks for sharing. Every time i look this one i fell relax. insightful immature Posted By: Tim Age about 11 years, 4 months ago @Lostnumber That's the way they debate in Russia so igorenko is just doing what comes naturally to him. You disagree, you go to gulag, or you're shot. Not much room for civil discussion. This forum is great, for as long people are not intimidated or outright attacked for voicing their opinions. Most of the time this Russian fella with his pointless, pompous ramble is just a bad read, but this is going way over the top. I registered just to say this. This comment is rated: immature insightful immature Posted By: nbocch about 11 years, 4 months ago Love it! Beautiful orange! I enjoy sunrises much more than sunsets, and today of all days was the perfect time for this great photo to pop up on IFL. Thank you! Sorry, Macindows, your Matterhorn photo just got bumped off my desktop ;) insightful immature Posted By: Scooter about 11 years, 4 months ago Great ! Yes, it could be sharper, but the mood of this picture is that great that the sharpness doesn´t count at all. And the bird sitting on top of the lamp makes this perfect ;-) Thanks for submitting this. insightful immature Posted By: quicksand about 11 years, 4 months ago lighthouses are not that beautiful on their own, a part of what makes them so romantic is the environment they're in....a rocky cliff, a flowery hill etc. the concrete pier that this one is on is outright unpleasant. otherwise technically it's a solid photo, smooth, clean yet sharp enough. though perhaps a little bland. insightful immature Posted By: Geosim about 11 years, 4 months ago It's a nice enough snap, technically there's nothing wrong with it, so it will please those that like to do nothing but analyse the IQ or arbitrary 'rules' of photography rather than the picture itself, but as quicksand says, it's just not very interesting. We've all seen sunsets on here before, so it needs to be extra special to stand out from the rest, and unfortunately this one doesn't really do anything for me. insightful immature Posted By: Igor Borisenko Photography about 11 years, 4 months ago You guys are pretty funny. As everyone knows each individual is entitled to their own opinion and view however what I was saying is totally different. As I stated in my previous post technically this image is flawless and that is undeniable fact. I was referring to some non-existent flaws that were brought up such as a lighthouse and lamp post falling over to name one. I think some of you need to learn how to read instead of pulling things out of context. You may like this or you may not and it's solely up to you but as any logical person would say - this image is perfectly executed. What really annoys me are the constant attacks towards any sunset images. What is the hate against sunset images I just can't understand. I see it over and over again and it's rather upsetting. Tim I just wanted to let you know that I believe in free speech so what you said is irrelevant not to mention that I am NOT even Russian. insightful immature Posted By: mostling about 11 years, 4 months ago @Igor You say: "I think some of you need to learn how to read" I say you should too, you ramble about sunsets and the image is called: First Light and IronRanger even gives som give aways in the description... That said i agree it's a nice image of a sunrise. insightful immature Posted By: JFASI about 11 years, 4 months ago Calling something flawless suggests that either the artist is using two accounts, or that you don't know what you're talking about. But anyways, this is indeed a very, very well executed image. Overall, complaints about sharpness can be offset by the fact that the image is shot into the sun, and that the high contrast makes it a moot point. The top of the lighthouse, however, is quite blurry. The lighthouse and the lamp are slightly tilted, although not enough to cause a problem in the overall composition. The subject matter has been done to death, but hey, in a vacuum this is a very pretty image. insightful immature Posted By: knaim2 about 11 years, 4 months ago I freaking love this guy Igor ROFL insightful immature Posted By: antonis7 about 11 years, 4 months ago It is interesting that almost every pointless argument in these forums begins with a comment from the "perfectionist". insightful immature Posted By: trout about 11 years, 4 months ago Personally, I can't see the "falling over" thing at all. I do certainly see an overall lack of sharpness and crispness. That's probably gonna keep this otherwise wonderful image off my own desktop. Though I do really love the colors. Oh why not. Downloaded. insightful immature Posted By: Igor Borisenko Photography about 11 years, 4 months ago Ha ha... thanks for correcting me. Yeah my post looks funny talking about sunset. I meant to say sunset/sunrise... Duh. I have been working very long hours lately... Sunsets/sunrises are usually pretty similar except some color differences at times. But I still don't see any issues with sharpness either. I would rather have a little softer image than an over-sharpened to death as it was witnessed with some of the recent submissions. When the image is a little soft you can sharpen it in your software but when it's over-sharpened it's ruined forever. I am still sticking to my original assessment as "flawless". insightful immature Posted By: stubulman about 11 years, 4 months ago As I have often said--and this applies to all of us--"Everyone is entitled to an incorrect opinion." insightful immature Posted By: VisualParadox about 11 years, 4 months ago ahh there is nothing like this time of day..well besides sunSET, both of which i have no problem seeing on the front page, and i never get tired of seeing them. I agree, this is a very well executed shot, perfect amount of sun, and just a nice horizon. I also agree with scooter, the classic bird in the lamp post makes it all that much better. what lean? blur on the lighthouse? not every picture is perfect. every one is unique in their own way, just accept them as they come. insightful immature Posted By: about 11 years, 4 months ago I like it. Guys: the pic made it through the loupe, so others must like that pic too. Everyone is entitled to comment a pic, everyone is entitled to express it's opinion, even if wrong. But please don't go flamewaring and boltthrowing in here, it's quite disturbing. insightful immature Posted By: Dhaman about 11 years, 4 months ago I think it's a decent image. Sunset looks nice. insightful immature Posted By: rejectEd about 11 years, 4 months ago I love this. I kind of wish it was a super wide panorama as sunsets and sunrise photos always look a little lacking in scale. Thanks for it. :) @ Daguul I'm more than certain that there are images that get through to the main page without ever seeing the Loupe. insightful immature Posted By: rhythmmethod about 11 years, 4 months ago nice shot with a fuzzy warm feeling to it. not all pictures have to be sharp enough to cut your eyeballs. as for Igor the guy shows a passion for other peoples shared captures/creations. those people who comment with disdain instead of something useful towards these peoples works are a sad bunch. insightful immature Posted By: willburt about 11 years, 4 months ago Nice Photo, i wish i was there to see it... by the way do any of you guys know how many votes an image needs to get through the loupe? insightful immature Post a Comment Use the form below to post a comment about this wallpaper.

Technical indicators are among the most effective tools a trader can have to make trading decisions. They work in all kinds of time-frames, and when you learn to read them, they can help you make a lot of money. Moreover, they are so versatile that even when they don’t behave how we expect, we can get signals from them. That’s the case of divergence. This event tells us that the behavior of the indicators is not the same as the price’s behavior, and that is a strong signal about where the price is going. You can learn how to use this powerful tool to your benefit to profit as many other traders do. Take a look at how this tool can help you improve your trading. What is divergence? Normally, when using oscillators, the movement of the price and the indicators are similar, but this is not always this way. Divergence is when the highs and lows from the price chart go in different directions from the highs and lows from the indicators. So there are the bearish divergence and the bullish divergence. We have a bearish divergence when the price reaches higher highs, but the indicators show lower highs. This is a sign that the trend is getting weaker, and it will reverse to start a bearish trend. Bearish divergence. Higher highs in the price chart and lower highs in RSI On the other hand, a bullish trend is the one you get when you see lower lows in the price chart but higher lows in the indicators. Bullish divergence. Lower lows in the price chart and higher lows in RSI What technical indicators to use when looking for divergence? The best indicators to use to find divergences are the oscillators. These indicators have similar movements as the price, and the high and lows generally match the highs and lows of the price chart, so when they differ, it’s a lot easier to spot the divergence. The oscillators traders use the most are: Stochastics It’s a technical indicator that compares the closing price to the prices of a certain period. It is a relative measure, and the levels of 80% and 20% are strong signals to sell and buy, respectively. Relative Strength Index (RSI) A momentum indicator measures recent price movements to determine whether an asset is overbought or oversold. MACD The MACD evaluates the relation between different moving averages to decide when to buy or sell the security Williams Percent R As the stochastic and the RSI index, Williams percent R moves in a range between 0 and 100. Below 20% of traders consider the security oversold, and above 80% they considered overbought. What does divergence tell you? Divergence can be read in at least four different ways. The traditional way signals a reverse in the trend, whether it is a down-trend or an up-trend. In addition, however, there is a kind of divergence called hidden divergence. In contrast to traditional divergence, this indicates a continuation pattern. What they both have in common are the different patterns you can see in the charts. Divergence can sometimes be a little hard to find and not always well-read. That is why we are going to give you five tips to trade the divergence like a pro. Top five tips for trading the divergence Divergence is a strong pattern, but even so, we don’t recommend trading based on divergence alone. Like any other technical indicators, the more confirmation we get, the better. Unfortunately, many traders make mistakes when using divergence. We are going to show you now the best five tips to trade the divergence. Tip 1. Indicators The correct kind of indicators to use when looking for divergence are oscillators. For divergence, we are trying to find trends that are getting weaker and oscillators reflect momentum, so they are the perfect indicators for the job. How does this happen? To find these oscillators, you simply go to your broker’s platform, choose the insert option, then indicators and finally choose the indicator you prefer. Indicators in MT5 How to prevent the fault? Only use momentum indicators with this strategy. If you try to use other indicators, you won’t get the different patterns you are looking for. Tip 2. Time frame The time frame, like with most indicators, plays a key role here. Therefore, it is not a surprise that the longer the period, the stronger the signal. Moreover, longer periods offer greater rewards than shorter ones since the trends are longer. How does this happen? We recommend using divergence in periods longer than 1-hours. This not only makes the divergence signal stronger but also the other indicators that confirm the movement. How to prevent the fault? Avoid trading in a time frame shorter than 1-hour since the volatility of the asset can produce many false signals that could lead you to losses. Tip 3. Identify the type of divergence You have to take your time to find the divergence. That’s also a reason to trade longer time frames. With periods below 1-hour, it is likely that once you identify the divergence, the opportunity is already gone. Also, you need to understand well if it is a reversal or a continuation pattern. If you don’t do it right, it will lead you to totally different ways. For example, instead of earning, you may end up losing. How does this happen? Bullish divergence: price makes lower lows and the indicator higher lows. Bearish divergence: price makes higher highs and the indicators lower highs. Hidden bullish divergence: price makes higher lows and the indicator lower lows. Hidden bearish divergence: price makes lower highs and the indicators higher highs. How to prevent the fault? It is not just about the price and the indicators taking different directions, the path each one takes matters. Tip 4. Confirm with other indicators Divergence is a strong indicator, but you can trust only in this to trade. You need to combine with other signals to be sure that your interpretation is correct. How does this happen? One of the most useful indicators to confirm is reverse and support level. It is also one of the most popular and simple, so you shouldn’t have a problem finding the levels. How to prevent the fault? The best way of avoiding false trading signals is to wait for the first candle in the direction of our guess. Once that first candle appears, we enter the position. Tip 5. Set up the trade The last step is to set up the trade. After making all the previous steps, you need to set the trade. How does this happen? After the first candle in your direction appears, enter the trade and set up your stop-loss and take profit level. The stop-loss and take profit should be established around the closest support and resistance level you can find. How to prevent the fault? By not setting those levels, you are risking more than you should. Set the stop-loss to avoid losing more than you can afford, and then take profit to look at your earnings.

When you’re new to IronMan there is a lot to learn. For example, coming to terms with the fact that it actually costs quite a lot to get the equipment for the race let alone registering for the race itself to the tune of approximately $1000. When you come off the couch, like I am doing, you will need something called a BIKE. Right now I am using my husband’s bike which is a hybrid road/off road (ish) bike that is actually quite heavy and doesn’t even have roadbike handles. My thinking is…at least I’m on a bike. If anything, training on a heavier bike should make me stronger right? That’s what I’m going with for now. I did actually go see a true triathlon bike being sold by one of the ladies in my new running group (and by new I mean ~they~ have been running together for quite some time, but ~I~ am new to IT – anyway the bike was beautiful. Unfortunately, #1 it was too small and I felt like I was a giant on a child’s very fancy bike and #2 the price tag was $4,500. Um No. For someone who isn’t going to make a career out of IronManning – I just can’t come to terms with spending the downpayment on my future Airstream. So how or when I will actually get my tri-bike – I’m not sure. I will keep it on the “list” I have entitled “How to afford all the shit I need for IronMan” on my One Note App. Stay tuned. Getting back to the line up of items and schedules – I had to figure out how and when I was going to practice swimming. My friend and fellow Ragnar team mate, Rhonda, told me about a local gym EOS that has pools. So off I went to scope it out. Turns out, its a great gym and VERY affordable. This will probably be the only time I write about IronMan and “affordable” in the same sentence. They had a Black Friday special with a no payment until January deal and I was all over it! PS – they have a MOVIE room with bikes and treadmills. Running while watching the new Star Wars???? I’m IN! Next week, I have my run evaluation with one of my coaches and I should have that improvement plan started after that. To be honest, my biggest worry is the run, because as of today I have NEVER run a FULL marathon. Emphasis “NEVER”. So running 26.2 miles AFTER swimming 2 miles and biking 110 miles – may be a bit of a stretch MMMKAY? This post may seem like a downer but in reality I’m just prepping myself for the reality of what is to come – which is a lot of hard fucking work. But I’m all in – and ready to push myself! Lots more to learn about and work towards!

8 October 2021 - The National Coronavirus Command Council (NCCC), established at the declaration of the National State of Disaster on March 15, 2020, over 570 days ago, acts as a super-legislator, abrogating the role of parliamentary oversight. The National Coronavirus Command Council (NCCC), established at the declaration of the National State of Disaster on March 15, 2020, over 570 days ago, acts as a super-legislator, abrogating the role of parliamentary oversight. For this reason, and others set out below, the IRR believes it is time for the Command Council to be disbanded. To this end, the Institute has launched a petition – https://irr.org.za/campaigns/disband-command-council – to enable South Africans to endorse the call for the disbandment of the NCCC and the restoration of democratic accountability. The Command Council was irregularly constituted. At its inception, President Ramaphosa repeatedly described the function of the NCCC as making “decisions” but then backtracked to say it only made “recommendations”, despite persisting evidence of its rulings over how South Africans live and do business. The Command Council is non-democratic, as the effects of its decision-making amount to de facto laws that severely limit rights enshrined in the Bill of Rights without transparent justification. It abrogates the role of parliamentary oversight. Even if it was temporarily acceptable for the Command Council to trump democratic norms, this cannot be allowed to continue while South Africa enjoys “green-light” low levels of Covid-19. The Command Council is set up to last forever. The scientific consensus is that, on the balance of probabilities, Covid-19 is destined to become “endemic”, meaning that it will remain in circulation indefinitely. All current vaccines are non-sterilising, the virus has exhibited the capacity to evolve “escape mutations” that render convalescent protection non-sterilising, and no sterilising vaccine is on the horizon. Absent “zero-Covid” – a utopian policy that countries like New Zealand and Singapore have been forced to abandon – the Command Council has no criterion for self-termination. Therefore, if Covid-19 becomes endemic the Command Council will continue to trump the norms of constitutional democracy permanently. The Command Council is unscientific. From the ban on sales of open-toed shoes and cigarettes, and the current prohibition on midnight travel and funerals above 100 mourners, to permission being granted for political gatherings of up to 2 000 people, the Command Council presides over decisions that limit rights irrationally. The Command Council is an arm of a corrupt state. The Digital Vibes scandal is just one indication that the level of maladministration that South Africans have sadly learned to expect from national government has been no less prominent in its response to the pandemic. For these reasons and more, the IRR opposes the Command Council and encourages South Africans to petition against its indefinite contribution to the erosion of the country’s constitutional democracy. To sign the petition, and read more about the IRR’s disquiet at the risks associated with allowing the Command Council to continue – go to: https://irr.org.za/campaigns/disband-command-council

Sadhguru: A few hundred years ago, John Wilmot, an English lord, said something significant about parenting: “Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children. Now I have six children and no theories.” So what should you do in terms of parenting? Look back at yourself when you were a child – what kind of parents would have been the best? Remember what it was like to be a child, and you will clearly know. Unfortunately, people have been made to believe that children are all born improper and we have to correct them, which is not true. If you look at parents and children, generally, at least children below ten years of age are definitely more joyful. Then who should be the consultant for life – those who are more joyful, or those who are falling apart within themselves because they do not know how to handle their offspring? Children want to emulate what you do. If you set an example as someone worth looking up to, you do not have to do much parenting. #1 Evaluate Yourself Before you decide to have a child, you must evaluate yourself in every aspect – the way you sit, stand, speak, and react to situations. Ask yourself, if you were a five-year-old, would you like and look up to this person? Another thing you could do is spend sufficient time with children to see if they like you, and if you like them. This way, a lot of wisdom would blossom, and fertility clinics would close down. #2 Create the Right Atmosphere If you already have a child, all you have to do is create a loving, supportive, and invigorating atmosphere. There is really nothing to teach. You came here a few years earlier than the child. What you know about life that the child does not know are just a few tricks of the world, how to survive and how to make a living. But you do not know a deeper dimension of life. These tricks need not be taught to children too early. They will learn them later on. Right now, when a child enters your life, it is time to learn, not to teach. Children may not know what is dangerous, what is nice, and things like that. But hopefully you have a certain wisdom about life around you, which children may not have. If they are moving towards danger, exercise your wisdom. Otherwise, children are able to conduct life more joyfully than you. Learn those aspects from them. Do not teach them commandments that have not worked for you, and that you yourself could never follow. In every society, there are some kinds of commandments. If everyone practiced them, the world would be very different. Obviously no one practiced them, but still these commandments survived because people teach them to their children. If you want your children to be better than you, the first thing you have to do is to establish integrity, because wherever they go, this will sustain them. If you try to teach your children things that you are not able to follow yourself, obviously they will see through that after some time. Your words and your behavior should match. If you create a loving and vibrant atmosphere, they will be fine. #3 Skip the Toys, Climb a Tree You have to physically nourish and mentally ignite children about things. The simplest way is to take them out into nature, where everything, from an insect to a flower, is exciting. But most parents today want to buy some stuff, throw it in the children’s room, lock it – everything is padded so that they cannot hurt themselves – and the parents can go to a party. That is not parenting. Billions of dollars are spent every year on toys for twenty to thirty percent of the children on the planet, while the remaining seventy percent never get a toy in their lives. Those who are bought these toys are the ones who suffer most, on a mental and emotional level. The others may suffer because of lack of nutrition and other basic requirements. But the affluent ones are going through inner turmoil. If instead, you take the trouble of taking your children out, making them climb a tree, walking somewhere with them, taking a swim or some such thing, the child will grow up physically and mentally healthy. #4 Prepare Yourself for a 20-Year Project Once you have a child, it is a twenty-year project – if they do well. If they do not do well, it is a lifelong project. If you are not ready for that, you should not get into it. Unfortunately, many couples think that for their marriage to survive, they have to have a child. A child is not a personalized project. We are creating the next generation. In some way, the next generation should be at least one step ahead of where we are. If we do not aspire and work towards that, we should not have children. What is the point if the next generation is going to be just like us, nothing more? Unfortunately, many couples think that for their marriage to survive, they have to have a child. A child is not a personalized project. We are creating the next generation. And above all, humanity is not on the verge of extinction – there is no need for everyone to reproduce. It almost looks like we are trying to compete with the insect population in terms of numbers. It is time we slow down in many respects. Those who decide to have children must have dedicated time for them, because this is about making the next generation better than who we are. And above all, you must fix yourself. You must be a kind of a person the child will look up to and love to be with. Then, even time can be adjusted. If they are really looking up to you, five minutes of contact can be worth five days. The responsibility of having a child requires involvement. Suppose you made the mistake of having a child without being able to offer the necessary involvement, please hand over the child to someone who is loving, caring and joyful, someone who is able to give his or her life to the child. You can provide the financial support. Whether they are the biological parents or not – the child does not care. Whoever is most loving, most joyful, is the one who children would like to hang around with. #5 Explore the Positive and Wonderful World Nowadays it’s not uncommon to find three-year-old kids glued to the television or smartphone screen. And we don't know what they are taking in and how they understand what's shown there because even you can't figure what's going on. One moment, somebody is talking about creating a beautiful world, the next moment there is a bombing happening, the next moment something else. Every parent needs to think about what they want to expose their children to. The exposure that they have had is what will stick with them for life, not a moral teaching. You must expose them to all the positive, wonderful things in life. Positive things do not mean right versus wrong – simply life the way it is. This may sound extreme, but I think if people want to have children, they should be ready to withdraw with them to a natural space for at least two months in a year, rather than living in city burrows or bird nests of apartments. Even if you have to live in a tent somewhere, children need to be in nature if you want them to be physically and mentally healthy and balanced, which is the most important thing.

In the European Union for example, which has enjoyed economic wellbeing for much of the last two centuries, thirty-eight percent of the population has psychological problems. This is mainly because they grew up in conditions where they were uncared for. There was emotional insecurity even about their parents. They did not know if their mother or father would leave them at some point. Now as adults, there is serious emotional insecurity about their spouses and partners. That man or that woman may leave you anytime. When there is no emotional security, human beings become psychologically imbalanced. If you want a generation of people to be productive, they either must be conscious or they must have emotional security – otherwise, they will go crazy. We have destroyed all these things, and then we wonder why we are not living well, why our children are acting crazy, why our children are shooting someone or shooting themselves. This is so because right from childhood, there is no emotional security. Emotional security is absolutely important, because emotions are still the largest dimension of most human beings. For most people, I would say emotions make up at least eighty percent of who they are. Being such a big power, if you do not harness your emotions, if you do not make them into a positive force in your life, they can smother and destroy you. Today, being emotional is equated with having negative emotions. When we say someone became very emotional, it means he went a little crazy. We have to change this concept in the world. Why do we not acknowledge that joy, bliss, love, devotion and ecstasy are emotions? Emotional security is absolutely important, because emotions are still the largest dimension of most human beings. If one becomes really conscious, then emotions do not matter. But until then, emotions play a significant role. So, if we want to bring up our children well, there should be a loving atmosphere around them all the time – not just at home, but also in school and on the street.

India’s rivers, the nation’s lifeblood, are facing an alarming crisis. Sadhguru outlines what we can do to breathe life back into the rivers before they leave us high and dry. Read in Telugu: భారతదేశంలోని నదులు….. Sadhguru: We are who we are because of our rivers. India has essentially grown along the banks of major rivers. Our ancient civilizations like Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa were born along the waters, and they died when the rivers shifted course. Today, our rivers are depleting at such a rate that they will become seasonal in 20 years’ time. In the last 10 to 12 years, I have seen a dozen rivers going dry in Tamil Nadu alone. Today, the waters of the Cauvery, the Krishna and the Godavari, the most significant rivers of southern India, flow to the oceans only for a few months in a year. The Flipside – Excess Rain As global warming causes temperatures to rise, the southern peninsula, with oceans on both sides, will naturally receive excess rainfall. We already see the coastal regions of Andhra Pradesh going mostly underwater during the monsoon. And after the December floods happened in Chennai, people have become afraid of rain. Two days of rain in Chennai is enough to put all the rescue boats on the alert! Excess rains will turn the southern peninsula into desert much faster than if there was no rain. It will leach the land and make it completely unsuitable for cultivation over a period of time, which is already happening very rapidly in Tamil Nadu. Bore wells that used to hit water at two hundred feet are being dug to 1000 feet, and still there is no water! Source: CC-BY – Factly.in How long are we going to run the country with water trains and trucks? It is not possible to feed the thirst of this country with trains or pipelines. I do not want to be alarmist, but everyone should think about the real problems we are creating with our treatment of the rivers. With more than a billion people, if rivers dry up, what will people do? The rivers in this nation are essentially forest fed. Even a Himalayan river like Ganga is only ten percent glacier fed; the rest is from the land and the forest. People want emergency solutions and are trying to move the policy-makers to try to connect the rivers and deliver water to more areas of land. That is going to be even more disastrous. We will only spend enormous amounts of money and create an even bigger ecological disaster. Trees for Life! What is needed is a broader solution which starts by creating an awareness about what we are doing to the rivers and what we should do instead. Simply inspiring people to take action is not sufficient. Only if we offer profitable solutions can we convince people to save our rivers. One thing we need to understand is, people think because of water there are trees; no, because of trees there is water. For one kilometer along either side of the river banks, we need to create a plant buffer for our rivers. In land belonging to the government, plan for afforestation. We can employ 100,000 people to plant trees and nurture them for the next ten years and bring an enormous amount of land under green cover. For private land, let farmers go for horticulture and tree-based farming. The governments can provide education, and subsidize these efforts for three to five years, and help develop a whole new system of high-quality organic horticulture. Farmers will not mind giving up their regular crops, nor will they be coerced to migrate to cities for other work because their land will still continue to yield a living – even better than what they had before.

This is a comprehensive solution, and it will not cost more than 10% of what linking the rivers will cost. Source: CC-BY – Factly.in A Plant Buffer Governments have to create river-friendly policies. The Madhya Pradesh government, with input from us, and the Maharashtra government, with whom we have signed an MoU, are taking initiatives in this direction. We are also making a project recommendation to present to the government of India, as to how this method of farming is more profitable than what is being practiced by most farmers right now. Today, too many people have become a totally defeated population because they believe nothing will change, irrespective of what they do. But now is the time to make a change. Ten years later will be too late. In our economic lust, let us not forget that it is our land and rivers that sustain us. Our rivers have been on for millions of years. Let our generation not kill them. We urgently need to shift from thinking of how to exploit our rivers to how to revitalize them. We have to make everyone in the country aware that there is an express need for action to save the rivers.

Business Continuity Remote Working Digital Transformation / DX Artificial Intelligence / AI Internet of Things Microsoft Kordia Cloud Security Azure Cybersecurity Microsoft 365 Kordia achieves Microsoft Gold Security Competency status By Ryan Morris-Reade, Tue 24 Aug 2021 Cybersecurity and connectivity company Kordia has become a certified Microsoft Gold Security Competency holder. Kordia has achieved competency by demonstrating expertise in designing, implementing, and managing customer security programs. "Microsoft cloud solutions are universally used by local and international businesses, making security competency vital for Kordia customers," says Kordia chief digital officer, Aaron Olphert. "Security threats are a constant and evolving reality that every organisation must mitigate. The best weapons we have against cybersecurity include appropriate technology and processes, backed by the knowledge and experience of qualified personnel. "Becoming a certified Microsoft Gold Security Competency holder highlights the combined specialist expertise of our consultants across Kordia Group, which comprises Aura Information Security, EMRGE, Base2, and newly acquired SecOps NZ. "It also recognises the level of protection we provide our customers and highlights our commitment to accelerating the move of Kiwi businesses online in a secure and customer-centric way," he adds. Microsoft introduced the Security Competency in 2019, recognising that while security risks are higher than ever, the skills needed to mitigate them are in short supply. Among other criteria, Gold Security Competency requires a certification from multiple staff members on Microsoft 365 Security Administration and Microsoft Azure Security Technologies. A further requirement is the practical demonstration of these skills on customer sites to specified levels of monthly consumption. "In today's environment, with more people working from home or flexible workspaces, and more of us using digital platforms to shop, communicate and do business, having the right security tools and processes has never been more important," says Olphert. "That's especially the case when you consider the rise in cyber threats we've seen as criminals take advantage of the massive digital shift that's occurred as a result of COVID-19." Microsoft New Zealand partner director, Matt Bostwick, says Kordia's Gold competency demonstrates it's a leader in its field when it comes to protecting vital data maintaining business resilience, and building trust. Achieving the status comes off the back of Kordia's cybersecurity expansion. With a dedicated cybersecurity team of more than 75, Kordia recently acquired managed security services provider SecOps NZ. In 2020, Kordia acquired container and security consulting specialist EMRGE (then Emerging Technology Partners), bolstering capabilities in cloud migration and consultancy, and in April 2021, it also acquired Base2, a provider of managed IT and modern workplace solutions. Olphert says the latest development is part of Kordia's vision of becoming the 'go-to' technology partner for New Zealand organisations. "We're going beyond security and executing Kordia Group's wider strategy of delivering complete cybersecurity, cloud, and modern workplace solutions to customers," he says. "Security permeates every aspect of the modern organisation. This positions Kordia with a unique value proposition where every customer has the assurance of reliable, stable, and secure business services across the cloud, security, and connectivity."

There are many factors, environmental and otherwise, that can have an impact on a man’s fertility. Genetic or medically diagnosed infertility typically can’t be changed by lifestyle alterations. If your infertility is a result of genetics or an illness or medical procedure, then should consult a fertility specialist to learn about “assisted reproductive technologies” that are appropriate for your particular case. These assisted technologies are things like IVF, ICSI and IUI. As for the second category, environmental, you may be able to significantly impact your fertility just by altering your lifestyle. In this article we describe some of the most common environmental factors you should be aware of, and things you can try to help your journey to pregnancy along. Factors Affecting Male Fertility Illness – mumps, malaria, cancer, cystic fibrosis Injuries – trauma to testes or surrounding area Lifestyle – drugs, alcohol, smoking, obesity, strenuous and/or prolonged seated activities (horseback or bicycle riding) Medications – chemotherapy treatments, anabolic steroids Age – contrary to popular belief, male (paternal) age matters Genetic defects – i.e. Klinefelter’s Syndrome Fertility and Smoking Male smokers have a 30% higher chance of being infertile. Smoking is particularly damaging to sperm cells and destroys them at the DNA level. If you needed another reason to quit smoking, THIS IS IT! Some things you can do to prevent infertility Don’t smoke! Avoid heavy marijuana and alcohol use Avoid excessive heat and compression to testes Wear protective equipment in sports to protect testicles Eat a healthy, balanced diet full of fruits and vegetables to provide necessary vitamins and minerals Drink plenty of water Male Fertility and Diet We’ve talked about things to avoid in terms of fertility, now what are some things you can do to improve it? It is difficult to compile hard data on dietary substances that improve male fertility. However, improving overall physical health is definitely the first step before undertaking more intense fertility treatments. And the good news is you can make these chances for free and the earlier the better! Some things to add to your diet: Fruits and Vegetables: These are rich in Vitamins A, B, C & E. The antioxidant properties of these vitamins can protect sperm’s DNA. Vitamin A is found in leafy greens, carrots and apricots. The B vitamin folic acid has fantastic antioxidant properties and will keep the sperm free of chromosomal abnormalities. Vitamin C is found in citrus fruits, broccoli, strawberries, and liver. Wheat germ and almonds are excellent sources of Vitamin E. What is a way to get ALL of these in one amazing super food? The sweet potato! Oysters: We’ve all heard that oysters are an aphrodisiac, maybe this is why! They are packed with zinc, a mineral known to increase the production of sperm and testosterone. Other foods that contain zinc (although not in as high quantity) are beef, poultry, dairy, nuts and beans. Pomegranate Juice: Another super food. The pomegranate is an antioxidant-rich fruit shown to boost sperm count and quality. Plus it tastes great! Pumpkin Seeds: These have a double benefit. They are a great source of zinc which increases sperm count and testosterone, and also of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3’s stimulate blood flow to sexual organs and improve sexual function. Everybody wins here! (hee, hee!). Other great sources of omega-3’s are flaxseed, almonds and fatty fish like sardines and salmon. Water: Yet another benefit of drinking plenty of water. A man should drink half of his body weight in ounces of water per day. So, a 180 lb man should consume 90 ounces of water a day. Drink up! And of course, more things to avoid: Processed foods: While this goes for ALL people, it is especially important in men focusing on a fertility-friendly diet. Refined sugar and flour and fatty, fried foods should be avoided. Soy: Studies are preliminary at this point, but some have shown a decrease in sperm count in men with a lot of soy in their diet. High Mercury Fish: Mercury is linked to infertility in both men and women. The common culprits are swordfish, mackerel, and tuna. Trade these out for some of the omega-3-rich fish like salmon or zinc-rich shellfish for your seafood fix! Caffeine: Are you a caffeine-addict? Most of us are. Research shows that too much caffeine, whether from coffee or energy drinks, can decrease sperm count. Try to cut back to no more than 2 servings a day. The bottom line on diet is that every part of you is healthier, livelier and more functioning when you are filling your body with the high-performing foods it needs. With the addition of a couple of fertility boosters like zinc and folic acid, following the healthy living guidelines for all adults today will help protect your fertility. These are claims based on general health guidelines and non-medical research. They are not meant to be treatments for infertility, and do not replace assisted reproductive technologies if required. Talk to your doctor before making any dietary adjustments.

Cape Breton fiddling underscores a genre of playing music using a fiddle, which is commonly on the Cape Breton Island. Cape Breton music can be defined as a form of traditional music that borrows much of its songs from the Scottish culture. The origin of the music can be traced from numerous Scottish immigrants to Cape Breton Island in the 17th and 18th centuries when the Highland Clearances were implemented. We will write a custom Research Paper on Music: Cape Breton Fiddling specifically for you for only $16.05 $11/page 301 certified writers online Learn More The immigrants carried with them their culture to the island and established this form of music later on. The fiddling has so far received a warm welcome by people from all over the world. Although Canada has lost its culture today, it is still preserved in Cape Breton. The music is played in Cape Breton Island located in Sidney, and it has unique features that distinguish it from all other forms of music. Step dancing and the highland style are the two common styles of dancing that the Cape Breton musicians invoke in their dancing. Scottish immigrants living in Cape Breton thus went with their traditions to the island and established the dance, which attracted millions of fans. The dancers have their way of presenting their music by integrating different styles into one unique style that is then used to achieve the intended purpose. Persons residing on this island are mostly the Scots and the Irish who have established this popular style of dancing. Scotland has most famous fiddlers among them being “Aly Bain and Bruce MacGregor, Douglas Lawrence, Catriona MacDonald, Alasdair White, Aidan O’Rourke and many more including a burgeoning number of fine young players” (MacGillivray, 1981, p.82). Donegal also has played a role in shaping the Cape Breton fiddling. The Donegals – who also came here as immigrants, turned out as fiddlers in the dance and there is a close relationship between the fiddlers from Scotland, and the Donegal as many of them share names as evidenced in the music played by the two ethnic communities together. However, the Scots are the main dancers, but they have borrowed a lot from the Donegals. The island has numerous entertainment centers, which have favored the growth of this traditional music. The Doryman pub located on the island offers live local music during weekends. This live performance has boosted the fiddlers who dance both as a career and for entertainment purposes. The pub also offers a good resting point for tourists who visit the island for purposes of listening to traditional music. Composers of the music Popular traditional Scottish and Irish artists compose the music. The most popular Scottish composers include Niel Gow and James Scott Skinner. The two are the main composers though there are other artists too who have published their music and are being used by the musicians from Cape Breton. The fiddlers, who also incorporate dancing to make the songs interesting and lively, then redo the songs. Get your 100% original paper on any topic done in as little as 3 hours Learn More Tourist attraction With most of the countries in the world having dumped their cultures, the Cape Breton music provides a better opportunity for culture commemoration. Cape Breton has turned out to be a stronghold of Gaelic culture in the modern world and one of the few places in the world where traditions thrive. Tourists visit the island in large numbers to experience the culture of the Scottish people. People travel to the island to see for themselves the popular traditional dance. Those who specialize in dancing are paid to perform the unique styles as tourists visit the island in large numbers and pay to be entertained. The entertainment business has so far flourished due to the large number of tourists who visit the island for the sole purpose of entertainment. The popular Highland styles of dancing have flourished. The dance has attracted many fiddlers who come to the island to do the music as a form of employment. McMaster is just a good example of fiddlers who have been in the frontline in ensuring that the reputation of this traditional music reaches every corner of the world. He has been into the music industry for quite a long time, and he has emerged as a kingpin figure in the industry. He has established a workshop to help in nurturing the talents of the many fiddlers who intend to join the industry and reap the benefits that accrue. Music Styles The players of this dance mix different styles. Some of the styles incorporated in the dancing are not new, but they do them in creative and innovative ways, which make the dancing unique and different from any other form of dancing. Music is done by other artists, if redone by the Cape Breton musicians, comes out as completely different from the original and more often than not, the dancers play the music in bedding and bowing movements that are attractive and entertaining to the audiences. The dancing is characterized by bowing, and the dancers tend to exercise uniformity in their slow, but sure movements. Timing carries the order of the day, and every dancer is expected to follow the movements of the other dancers in a stylistic and uniform manner. The songs are played in different languages, but the common one is the Gaelic language. The music is characterized by the rising and fall of the voice as the music continues to play. We will write a custom Research Paper on Music: Cape Breton Fiddling specifically for you! Get your first paper with 15% OFF Learn More As the dancing commences, the voice is low, but as it continues to play, the director hikes the voice in a systematic and creative manner. The songs and the creative dancing most often attract big crowds from all corners of the world. The songs commonly played at festivals are documented in history books and the performers practice them in advance before the actual performance. The music borrows much of its songs from several traditions ranging from the Scottish traditional songs to Irish traditions. However, the music not only comprises the traditional forms of music but also it borrows some bits from modern music. The tune styles are commonly derived from special books published by famous traditional and modern composers. Instruments in Cape Breton Music The traditional musicians tend to add flavor to the music by incorporating certain types of instruments to make the music lively. The instruments commonly used today are the guitar and piano. The piano has replaced the popular pump organ that was previously being used during performances. Special groups, who are conversant with the styles of dancing and aware of when to alter the style of playing the instruments to suit the various intonations, play the instruments. The playing of the instruments in this traditional music is far much different from playing in other types of music. This aspect is an excellent distinction factor between Cape Breton music and other forms of music. Before the introduction of the piano, the dancers invoked special movements and banging of the floor with their feet to make the music lively and maintain the rhythm. There seems to be specialization in the roles each one of the stakeholders is assigned in the music, and the dancers are different persons from the instruments’ players. Ornamentation is not left behind in the music. All dancers are in beautiful traditional ornaments (trebles and drones), which gives them a completely different look from the ordinary dancers. The music is played using musical instruments, which keep the whole music alive. Instruments such as pump organ and recently piano are well matched with the intonations during the performance. The Music and Dance Cape Breton Island is a delightful world full of time-honored music. The astonishing number and quality of performers are in line with the well-informed keenness of their spectators. In Cape Breton, a good number of residents understand well the gigantic repertoire and are aware of the different traditional music performed by different artists since time immemorial. On the island, there is a well-organized venue where anyone interested in learning the music is afforded the chance to join the fiddlers during their performance, and they are allowed to contribute tunes that they are conversant with for the mutual benefit of the fiddlers and the audience at large. Not sure if you can write a paper on Music: Cape Breton Fiddling by yourself? We can help you for only $16.05 $11/page Learn More There is a well-organized music session known as “Ottawa” where every interested member of the public is allowed to join the fiddlers as they perform their music. The sessions are open to all who can play the common traditional tunes, and it is organized in such a way that the talents of the performers are identified and nurtured to produce more fiddlers in the future. At this point, people are in a position to show their ability to dance the unique styles adopted by the dancers. The music has maintained a form of a traditional Scottish style of dancing known as step dancing that the Scots have forgotten in their homeland. The dance is well established as the fiddlers spend quite a reasonable amount of their time practicing the styles. The dance is non-discriminatory, and it has no age limit. Persons between the ages of 12 to 90 are allowed to gather in one hall and practice together. In most cases, the villagers walk for long distances to the parish, for example, the Glencoe Mills parish just to go and practice the music styles with other fiddlers. In such cases, the fiddlers spend up to 5 hours of continuous dancing to test the endurance of the popular and experienced fiddlers. Distinction from other music Cape Breton has maintained the Scottish culture far much better as compared to Scotland. Most scholars attribute this aspect to the historical isolation of Cape Breton. Although the music played in Cape Breton is derived from the Scottish culture, the music is conservative, and it has more of Scottish culture in it than the original songs performed by the Scots themselves. Scottish musicians flock Cape Breton Island for the sole purpose of relearning the Scottish music and dancing styles that were dumped long ago in their homeland. The Cape Breton music is also unique as even when there are no performers at the stage, and the music is playing; the audiences are aware of when to stamp their feet on the grounds. As the music is playing, the audience remains calm, but all of a sudden, they stamp their feet in uniformity at a certain point. This factor distinguishes the music from the ones played in Scotland and Ireland despite the songs being derived from the two countries. Another distinguishing factor is the style of music. Cape Breton Music is done slowly, with varying tones, as opposed to the fast playing style in many other songs on the island. Additionally, audiences in other types of music are seen clapping their hands as a show of follow up. This scenario is not common with audiences of Cape Breton music. In the Cape Breton music, audiences stamp their feet on the ground as opposed to clapping their hands. The rhythm is another distinguishing factor. The Cape Breton music is done in such a way that the tone rises and falls in different stages of the song. The experienced fiddlers achieve the best rhythm, thus moving the crowd to dance even when their mood seems to be down. Cape Breton Step dancing Step dancing carries the day as far as the Cape Breton music is concerned. Dancers of this music are conversant with this unique style of dancing, and in most cases, they perform the music in uniform movements. The style involves slight and slow uniform bowing. This style is the most commonly used though there are other styles such as the square dancing style used as supplementary to the step dancing style. Modalities of Cape Breton music The Cape Breton traditional musicians tend to play the tunes in a special and unique manner. They incorporate a variety of tunes to their music. They do not just use the major and minor keys, but they invoke other keys in a bid to vary the music tone. This aspect bestows the song with a unique sound and makeup. Those not conversant with the music may wrongfully think that the performer mistakenly played a dull tone. However, this dullness is deliberate, as it is aimed at demonstrating a Gaelic susceptibility to the tunes. The tone and the rhythm of the Cape Benton music are closely linked to the Gaelic linguistic. Conclusion Cape Breton fiddling is a traditional type of playing music incorporating traditional songs and traditional styles of dancing. The Scots and the Irish dominate the music. However, the Scots are the founders of this type of music. The music is played in the Cape Breton Island under the guidance of both the Scots and the Irish. On this island, traditions have been maintained for a long period now, and the music has become a tourist attraction. The Scottish immigrants, who left their country in search of refuge, first introduced it on the Cape Breton Island in Canada. They came with their culture to the island where they developed it by incorporating different styles of dancing to present their work in a special and unique manner. Most of the songs played are of Gaelic language since most immigrants from Scotland the Cape Breton were from this community. Reference MacGillivray, A. (1981). The Cape Breton Fiddler.

William Ralph ‘Dixie’ Dean rose to fame in the 1920’s as the most prolific goal scorer of his generation. Dixie’s record of 60 league goals in a season for Everton FC (1927-28) is unlikely to ever be broken. In contrast to his modern day contemporaries, he was very much part of his native community. His story has the hallmarks of the great sporting narrative (Babe Ruth, Jake La Motta). ‘Dixie The People’s Legend’ is not just a portrait of a footballing hero, but of a sporting era long lost to history. The documentary will utilise traditional interviews as well as dramatic re-enactments of key moments in his life. An atmospheric narration and extensive use of archive footage, stills and audio will tie the two styles together. The dramatic imagery will meld the traditional documentary content and location shooting, building a more intimate portrait of the man and his times. Despite his reaching mythic status in the world of football at the age of 21, he was never a wealthy man. His story is largely untold.

Ikebana (生け花) is the Japanese art of flower arrangement that dates back to the 15th century. Ikebana emphasizes natural beauty of flower materials including the stems and leaves as well as the shapes, lines, and forms. It expresses the beauty of flower materials using an asymmetric composition, empty space, and the principle of minimalism. Ikebana is also known as “kado” (華道) (the way of flowers), involving the spiritual practice of understanding nature, tranquility, harmony between all living things and oneself. Each workshop introduces you to a different style of flower arrangement. This workshop will cover Shoka Shimputai/生花新風体. Beginners are welcome. Workshops are held at the instructor's home in U-City (address and directions are emailed upon payment confirmation). Larger workshops are held in SSB 331 at UMSL.

VPS stands for Virtual Private Server, VPS hosting is basically shared hosting that uses virtualization techniques to mimic environment like a dedicated server within the hosting environment. In short, it lies between dedicated and shared hosting but provides a much more flexible environment. Each VPS has an operating system of its own and does not depend on other virtual servers. With VPS you have full root access like a dedicated server plus you will have your own resources like RAM that you won’t be sharing with others. This technology is based on time sharing and resource sharing methodology. It is very popular among fast-growing businesses as it is quite easy and simple to manage websites that are hosted on virtual private servers. How Does VPS Hosting Work? In VPS hosting, a physical server is maintained by a web hosting company in which there are many dedicated virtual servers. These virtual servers are made using virtualization techniques and have their own operating system. Each VPS act like an independent server and can be individually rebooted. One can fully control their VM’s but not the physical servers. Benefits of VPS Hosting Easy to Manage: Days of using complex hardware for hosting websites are long gone, all you need to do for hosting a website is uploading their files on a VPS and you are done. You get an admin panel from where you can easily manage and customize your website. Cost Efficient: VPS hosting is very cost efficient, one can get benefits of a dedicated server at a very low expense. There are many companies that provide affordable VPS plans, one can choose a plan according to their requirement. You can get one here at JavaPipe. High Performance: Unlike shared hosting, no one uses the dedicated resources allocated and hence system performance is on par when compared with shared hosting. Easy Customization: You can choose your plan or easily customize it in accordance with your needs. You don’t have to pay for the features that you think are of little to no use for you. You can abandon them while choosing the right plan. There are two types of VPS’s out there in the market, Managed and Unmanaged. Choose the one, which is more beneficial to you. Secure: Data is highly protected in VPS hosting. Everyone has their own dedicated virtual servers and hence data is very much secured. Privacy is well maintained in VPS hosting. Full Authorization: In VPS hosting, you get root access as well as administrator level access. Hence you have complete sovereignty over your virtual server. Customer Support: Some VPS hosting companies provide 24/7 chat support, which allows round the clock customer facilitation. You can contact them anytime whenever you face a problem. How to Select a VPS Hosting? Choosing the right VPS host is very crucial for the growth of your business as it could become a double-edged sword in the long run. So all the deciding factors must be taken into consideration before finalizing the VPS hosting that satisfies all your needs perfectly. Following are the pre-requisite essentials while choosing a virtual private server. Cost: This is the deciding factor while choosing the right VPS for your business. You should thoroughly compare the prices and features of all the hosting plans available in the market. Service: Efficiency of a VPS greatly depends on how it is managed by the host company. In order to earn more profit, a company can increase the number of VPS’s in a physical machine which can ultimately result in the lack of performance. So choosing the right hosting partner is important. Operating System: You need to choose the right OS for your server for optimum results. You can choose either Linux or Windows. Managed or Unmanaged: There are two types of VPS available in the market. In managed VPS hosting, the host manages everything for you but yes you have to pay a reasonable amount to them. In Unmanaged, the host manages core features and rest you have to manage by yourself. Compatibility: If you are seriously in need of a hosting partner and confused about which one to choose then opting for a renowned VPS company is a good idea. Bottom Line VPS hosting is great as it shortens the gap between shared and dedicated hosting and is reasonable in price. Feel free to comment below if you have any questions!

Unlike some other siterips-themed sites speaking exclusively in clickbait, we can’t promise you the fact that you’ll “cum in two minutes or less.” With that being said, we CAN promise you that everyone will be able to find something they will enjoy within this selection of paysites porn siterips and adult videos. Since this here is a porn tags index, one can easily judge the scope of our XXX library. It really is impressive, isn’t it? There are JAV siterips, AV pornstars pack files, and ODay videos for just about every taste (yeah, even for the folks that enjoy Loreen XXX siterips). Day in and day out, we have brand-new content coming in and that’s the biggest reason why this list of pornographic tags continues to grow. Some Japanese siterips and ManyVids releases are very clear-cut in what they’re trying to achieve, but some cover multiple fetishes/kinks, so this list is growing at a fast rate. Please note that behind every tag, there’s a handpicked collection of porn stream siterips, tube siterips, K2S online videos, what have you. There’s a very strict quality control policy that prevents us from uploading porn siterips that are, how to put it… subpar. If some OnlyFans chick is not giving it her 110% in the Loreen porn videos, then her porn pack is not going to make the cut. The same goes for any other type of XXX stream siterips, incest siterips, PornhubPremium compilations, etc. One of the last things that we would like to mention, in addition to variety and quality control, is the fact that you can easily download all the porn you can stomach. Yeah, even the latest or highest-rated Loreen vids/rips are available for either K2S download or K2S stream online. No matter what kind of Chaturbate or Pornhub exclusives you want to enjoy, we are letting you enjoy them for free and in the highest possible quality. Some folks out there prefer downloading and some will settle for the good, old-fashioned streaming. It’s our duty to make sure that you can do both. Happy viewing! © 2021 javtop.asia.

I tidied and blocked Relax2. It looks big enough to accommodate both me and an elephant. But I tried it on before blocking, to see in which directions I might want to tweak it, and it was perfect. And felt wonderful next to the skin. Once blocking was in action, I found that width-wise it was exactly size Medium; length-wise, a couple of inches long. How did that happen? It’s the third sweater finished this year – Ed’s Gardening Sweater and Relax1 being the others. Doesn’t sound like much. I have also nearly finished the BSJ. It occurred to me that I could kill two birds with one stone by practising mattress stitch on the seaming, which would justify me in returning to Franklin’s Craftsy lessons on Heirloom Lace Edgings. That didn’t quite work, because the shoulders of the BSJ seam a selvedge edge to a cast-on one. The result of the mattress-stitch attempt was very impressive, but so slow that it would clearly have taken me until Thursday to finish. I switched to overcastting. Then I had to knit an edging for the neck. I did a broken rib, like the bottom of Relax. It’s not entirely successful, but I’ll leave it. And I decided not to go with double-breastedness this time. It doesn’t fold properly, despite the nice drawings provided with the pattern. I’m going to fold it as you see in the picture. In the left-hand column of buttonholes I will sew buttons that don’t attach to anything. The right-hand column will have real buttons that button, sewn to the layer below.. And, incidentally, when I had the object in my hands, cast off and sans stitch markers, it took me a while, even now, to figure out how to fold it. I mean to set out on a shopping expedition this morning, light-weight wind-and-rain-proof jacket from Tiso, maybe new shoes from Ecco, probably lunch to carry home from Marks & Spencer. But I doubt if I will be strong enough to go on to John Lewis for buttons. I have to go back up there later in the week for insulin, anyway. So what about knitting this evening? Will I cast on the Milano? Helen CKS is back, always a treat. And she says – Helen knows everything – that we are about to have (=starting tomorrow, Wednesday) a three-part series on BBC4 about the Golden Age of Knitting. Who’d ‘a thot it? Time runs out – I won’t look up the proper credits for this one – but FiberQat & Another, you’re absolutely right that Lizzie must see a major league baseball game. In my day, Kansas wasn’t included. The major leagues were circumscribed by the distance players could conveniently travel by train from one engagement to the next – St Louis was the westernmost outpost, and they weren't very good. I’ll tell her. I gather Detroit has lost everything – but we’ve still got the Tigers? Posted by Jean at 9:05 AM 5 comments: Mary Lou 2:33 PM Oh and the Red Wings - they win often! I have meant to comment on the design of the Baby Surprise. (Yours is sweet. I like the color.) I can't remember what book EZ told the story, but she talked about trying to make one of these http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/norwegian-sweet-baby-cap---djevellue wit with no luck. She threw it down in disgust, it looked like a little jacket, and the rest is history. I have made a few of the little hats with a pattern a Norwegian woman gave me. She said every baby in Norway wears one. ReplyDelete Replies Reply FiberQat 4:00 PM Detroit still has the Lions in football and the Pistons in Basketball. Not doing as well as the Red Wings but still something to be behind. I love the color of your Relax2. Can't wait to see it on you! ReplyDelete Replies Reply Anonymous 6:10 PM Your Relax2 looks wonderful! Could the longitudinal stretch be because the Madtosh is superwash? The BSJ looks great, too. I've taken to seaming the shoulders with attached i-cord, and continue around all the edges (wrists, fronts, bottom, neck), either with the same or contrasting yarn. And I always have to fiddle a bit to fold it properly into shape! Anne C. (loooong-time reader!) ReplyDelete Replies Reply shandy 9:22 PM re Dressing for Shetland. You will need warm layers. We spent our honeymoon there in August 2000 and found ourselves wearing both the thick and thin jumpers we had taken - at the same time. The Relax looks interesting - I'd like to see it on.

So as I’m writing this, we have literally a whole week left of National Novel Writing Month, and I…kind of feel like it’s kicking my butt. But that doesn’t mean I’m not still determined! We’re 7 days away from the end of the month, and I’m currently sitting at 15,826 words written in this novel. Which, in terms of NaNoWriMo, especially at this point of the month, is a little scary! However, in terms of even writing a novel at all, that’s absolutely incredible! I’ve motivated myself to write almost 16k words of a novel in about two weeks. That’s wild. Whether I get to 50k by the end of the month or not, I’ve still gotten a decent start to this novel, and that’s huge. Some people rarely even get that far when they start, well, anything, so to get this far in just a couple weeks feels absolutely amazing. This is the mind-frame I’m trying to have during this last week, knowing I’m so far behind when it comes to NaNoWriMo. While I could get anxious and panic about the possibility of not meeting the goal, I’m trying to shift the focus to the fact that I’ve even made it this far, at all! At this rate, I could have the writing process of this novel done by early next year. If I really strap myself down and get to it, it could even be in January of next month! That sounds lofty, but hey, stranger things have happened. So while I’m definitely nervous about whether or not I’ll make the goal, I’m trying to stay positive, and trying to remind myself that I finally started this novel after wanting to start it for so long. I’m motivated to finish it, and I know I plan to see it through. It’s not just important for me to get it out there, but I feel like the story I’m writing could be so important for queer youth. I know it’s the story I would have not just wanted, but needed when I was a baby gay, to feel a little less alone when it came to developing my identity. If you want to support the creation of this novel at all, I want to say that your support on my Patreon page would mean the absolute world to me! Even if you can only spare $1 per month on becoming a pledge, that would be a big help with helping me reach my writing goals. If you can’t support monetarily though, that’s absolutely okay! Sharing this blog post, the Patreon page, or even just some of my writing, that would also be such a big help! If this entices you a bit more, though…this will be the last week that novel excerpts will be available at the $1 tier! If you’re interested in seeing bits of the novel I’ve been writing, and you want to support, this would be the week to do it! After this next week, excerpts will be moved up to the $3+ tier. A big thank you to all who have supported, whether it’s financially, by sharing my content on any of your social media sites, or by just leaving a comment saying that you’re excited about my writing. Every little bit helps, and I cannot stress how your support goes a long way. Keep kicking ass and being magical, friends. You’re all incredible.

“I have worked with and around Jeff for over a decade. Jeff is a tenacious business leader and attacks challenges with a no-nonsense, thoughtful, innovator’s mindset. Equally important, he is an expert at the “human-factor,” which can completely undermine an academic approach to problem solving, and he interlaces his understanding of psychology and sociology with his many years of practical experience to produce results.” Todd Greer CEO, SpotRight, Inc. Ryke Dismuke “The task of taking vision to a reality seemed very daunting at first, but Jeff Standridge enabled, coached, and gave me the confidence to enthusiastically push through that process. His insight is always structured, clear, logical and most of all, effective. I could not have navigated this process as efficiently without his help. “ Ryke Dismuke CEO, Golf IQ Will Spero “Jeff is amazing. His sales acceleration program was not only spot on, and customized for our way of business, it motivated the salespeople to put more effort into their craft.” Will Spero CEO, Mailer's Haven Eduardo Ramalho “Jeff is an outstanding person. He has a unique capability to address and overcome professional challenges without losing the human face of the business. His international expertise is amazing. He manages and respects cultural differences and knows like anybody how to make the business grow and become profitable, all with a great sense of humor and friendship. He is a natural leader who motivates his people to work and focus on solving difficult business problems.”

If you don’t know already, I started a Classics Challenge this year. I actually miss reading classic books so, with that in mind, I made it my mission to read several classic books over the course of 2020. So far I’ve read Little Women and Emma . Last week, I finished another of Jane Austen’s novels Pride and Prejudice. The novel follows the Bennet family, specifically the five different sisters, and the parents quest to see them all married. Of course, even those of us who haven’t read the novel will know, this is really the story of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy. I fared better with this Austen novel than I did with Emma, but not by much. The characters were interesting in their own ways, and definitely more interesting than the characters in Emma, but halfway through I found myself lost in the very elaborate and detailed words so much so that I’d forgotten who most of the characters were by the end! I’m a sucker for brilliantly written books but, even with a degree under my belt, I struggled to keep an interest in the plot, dialogue and characters. It felt hard to follow after a while as there were so many different characters being introduced around every corner. Another thing I wasn’t wowed by was the romance. I had it in my head, despite knowing full well what the outcome was, that Elizabeth would end up with Mr Collins or even George Wickham (either of whom I think would’ve been a better match). Instead, I had to sit through a trope I’ve become used to in several YA novels I’ve read in the past love-to-hate. Even though it was obvious what the outcome would be, I just didn’t get involved with their romance. Mr Darcy fell into the category reserved for other Byronic heroes, endearing to some but a complete horror where I’m concerned. Saying that, I think the romance between them was a great form of revenge against meddling parents and strict social classes. I wanted to like this book, I really did, but something about it just didn’t click with me. What are your thoughts? Are you reading any classics at the moment? I’d love to chat in the comments! 😊 Share this: Twitter Facebook Like this: Like Loading... Published by jenrosewrites Hi! I'm Jen, 24 and from the North West of England.

It was one of the first classics I’ve ever read and I read it when I was 14 so it holds a special place in my heart. I read Emma and I struggled more with that than with any other Jane Austen books. (Sense and Sensibility was tough for me as well, though). I know the “enemies-to-lovers” trope is very common in todays literature but for that era, it was something revolutionary and new. That’s the only thing I don’t quite agree with. I’ve literally just purchased Little Women (after I read it in my own language when I was… 12? 13?) and I’ve just seen the movie so I’m really excited to start it!

On April 14, 2018, Jensen’s little sister, Mila Rae, came in the world at 1:14am, kicking and screaming. Hearing her cry was one of the sweetest sounds I have ever heard and the moment they placed her on my chest is indescribable. The first hour of her life was surrounded by family and full of love. She was introduced to her big brother in that first hour by seeing his picture and his Jensen bear. I never wanted that hour to end. Pregnancy after loss has been the second most anxiety/paranoid-filled journey that I’ve been on, only behind losing Jensen. I tried not to take a moment for granted with her. There were a lot of ups and definitely downs, but we made it. Jensen has another thing to check off his to-do list. I truly believe he sent her to me. They are the only ones who know the sound of my heart from the inside. I made them with all my might and will love them for the rest of my life and beyond. Although there is so much more I want to say, I’ll write on a different day. Today I wanted to introduce you to my rainbow, Mila Rae, little sister to Jensen Grey.

The one where I thank all the bookbloggers who joined Hedgehog Hollow’s blog tour – Jessica Redland Author Skip to content Open Menu Home Hello from Me! My Books Pinterest Instagram BookBub Search Search for: Close Jessica Redland Author Welcome to Yorkshire and an uplifting world of love and friendship Blog Tours The one where I thank all the bookbloggers who joined Hedgehog Hollow’s blog tour July 15, 2020 July 15, 2020 Jessica Redland Author7 Comments The blog tour for the publication of Finding Love at Hedgehog Hollow has just finished and what an epic tour it has been. Across 13 days, there have been a whopping 37 stops. 36 of the bloggers gave reviews and one provided an extract only. What fabulous exposure! Those damn nerves… Image by Mirko Sajkov from Pixabay It’s exciting but also a little nerve-wracking when one of my books goes on a blog tour. The dream is that every single participant has loved it, waxes lyrical about how amazing it is and insists that everyone simply must read it. The reality is that there will be mixed opinion because we don’t all like the same things. I just have to hope that those who don’t love it don’t hate it either. When I see the names of familiar bloggers on the schedule, there’s a momentary feeling of relief – they’ve loved my other books so they’re bound to love this one – followed by panic – what if they think this is the one where I’ve lost my touch and they say it’s okay but not a patch on xxxxx? When I see the names of new-to-my-books bloggers on the schedule, there’s a mixture of hope – they could become a new ‘fan’ with a huge following who highly recommends my book and reads my back catalogue – followed by that panic once more – what if they regret trying a different author and they don’t like my voice or what I write? So there I am with this fission of nerves, waiting for the first review to come in. Please let the first one be a nice one! With all this turmoil, who’d be an author, eh? Did they like it? Image by autumnsgoddess0 from Pixabay Overwhelmingly yes. Phew! Not all bloggers give ratings. On this tour, 21 (60%) of the 36 reviews included one and they were all positive with the majority at the top end: 14 x 5-star (66.5%) 1 x 4.5 star (5%) 6 x 4-star (28.5%) What did they think of the main character? A consensus was that everyone loved the main character, Samantha, and were rooting for her right from the start of the book. I love Samantha. She’s a genuinely kind and caring person but she is taken advantage of for this. I worked hard on developing a rounded, realistic character and was conscious that I didn’t want her to come across as a complete pushover who could not stand up for herself. I was thrilled that nobody saw her that way and understood that the problems lay with those around her rather than Samantha being weak. If they wanted to shout at someone, it was those who used her rather than Samantha. Another common thread was the love for Samantha’s relationship with Thomas, the owner of dilapidated farm Hedgehog Hollow. I love creating inter-generational relationships. I first did this with Callie and Ruby in Making Wishes at Bay View and it was such a pleasure to create a very different relationship between Sam and Thomas but with a similar age gap. What did they think of the antagonist(s) (baddies)? Most books will have one or more antagonists – the person(s) who make the hero’s journey difficult. This could be a deceitful partner, an ex, a sibling, a parent, a bully, a friend, their boss, a neighbour…. the possibilities go on and on. This is reflective of real life where we simply cannot get on with everyone but some relationships affect us more negatively or hinder our growth more than others. Image by Tom und Nicki Löschner from Pixabay I loved how passionate some of the bloggers became about Samantha’s family – specifically the female members – and my absolute favourite quote ever comes from Ginger Book Geek who called them ‘numpties’ (one of my favourite words) and said she wanted to give them ‘a darn good slap with a wet flip flop’. I actually laughed out loud when I read that. I was particularly nervous about how bloggers would react to how Sam’s family treated her because I had a couple of scathing comments about this over on NetGalley including a reviewer who gave the book 3-stars and wrote, ‘I devoured this book but honestly the relationship between Sam and her mum was so painful to read about that I cannot recommend this as an escapist read… I would remove [that plot line]… disgusted me… can’t rate higher due to the nastiness’. Eek and ouch! Hence my nerves ahead of the blog tour. The thing is, Sam couldn’t have gone on the journey she went on without those ‘baddies’. The story wouldn’t have been the story. And then I’d have received criticism for it being bland or nothing happening. Also, fiction is based on reality and, sadly, the reality is that there are people out there who behave like Sam’s family. I know we would all love the world to be a happy place where everyone is kind and tolerant and considerate. But they aren’t. Family feuds and toxic relationships exist and a couple of bloggers proved this by sharing personal insights into how they could relate to Sam’s plight based on difficult relationships with their own families. For those in this situation, I send you my best wishes. Despite a couple of other negative comments about the toxic relationships on NetGalley, the bloggers on the tour seemed to understand the whole premise of the story: that sometimes blood is not thicker than water, that the real meaning of ‘family’ can be found in unexpected places, and that sometimes there are people in your life who don’t deserve to be and being kind can mean being kind to yourself by walking away from those who continually bring you down. What about the romance? Image by Ben Kerckx from Pixabay The title of the book ‘Finding Love…’ relates to so many aspects of this story and it’s not just about a romantic love; it’s about loving your family, your friends, and yourself. I like to mix up the way I tell my stories. Some of them are very much driven by the romance such as New Beginnings at Seaside Blooms whereas other stories are much more about friendships and/or family such as The Secret to Happiness and Finding Love at Hedgehog Hollow. There will always be a romance story but it’s not always the main premise. On the tour, one blogger thought the romance was ‘a little shoehorned in’ and the book could have done without it but thankfully most loved the romance and felt it rightly took a back seat while the other themes had the opportunity to shine. Were they reaching for the tissues? Image by Alexas_Fotos from Pixabay It was fascinating to read how emotional bloggers found the book. I sobbed my heart out while writing a few of the scenes but I confess that I’m a sobber. Everything makes me cry! Would others have the same reaction to Finding Love at Hedgehog Hollow? It seems it certainly did draw on the emotions from bringing a tear to the reader’s eye to them crying rivers with comments such as ‘this book just hit me hard in the feelings’ (Books and Bookends), ‘I laughed, I cried, I felt like I was there’ (Reading Girl Reviews) and the most gorgeous accolade from Book Reviews by Shalini who called me the ‘queen of hearts’ – ‘the story unfolded so brilliantly that at times my heart shattered into a million pieces where each piece was laden with so many emotions that I didn’t know where one began and the other ended’. Hugs to you, Shalini ❤ And did they love the hedgehogs? Yes, overwhelmingly the hedgehogs were a hit. Which is just as well because the next two books in the series will have LOADS of hogs in them. Image by Ryan McGuire from Pixabay Thank you so much… Thank you to everyone who participated in the tour. It goes without saying that I love reading the reviews where it’s the dream I described earlier – you’ve loved my work, you wax lyrical about how amazing it is and recommend it to all your followers. Anyone who has described it as a ‘page-turner’ and/or stated ‘I couldn’t put it down’ – including the fabulous anecdote from Yvonne at Me and My Books who wrote ‘I started it as I got in the bath, 2 hours later I decided I really need to get out the bath! I then got dry, warmed up in PJs and finished reading the book, it was that good!’ – has filled my heart with joy. As I said at the start, we don’t all like the same things and I equally value the opinion of those who have liked but not loved my work. I find it most helpful when there’s a reason given for this because I don’t think writers ever stop learning. If something is raised by one blogger on a 37-stop tour, I’m going to put it down to personal tastes. If something is raised by several bloggers, then this gives me something to think about in future books. In my previous job as a trainer and coach, there was a saying, ‘feedback is a gift.’ That might sound a bit cheesy but I do agree with the sentiment. The gift is one of learning and, as a writer, I can only continue to improve if I continue to learn. Image by Michael Schwarzenberger from Pixabay Here’s the rub… The thing about gifts is that some are thoughtfully packaged in shiny paper with a pretty bow and presented to the recipient with care and, even if the gift inside may not be exactly what the recipient might have hoped for, the recipient still feels the kindness and the overall experience is positive. Other gifts are poorly-wrapped in barely-stuck-together newspaper or not wrapped at all and are tossed towards the recipient like a hand grenade. I’m fortunate that I’ve received 37 beautifully-packaged gifts on the blog tour for Finding Love at Hedgehog Hollow for which I am ever so grateful. And very relieved! Thank you to everyone who has shared their reviews on Twitter, Insta and/or Facebook and RT’d those that others have shared, helping spread the word. And my final thank you goes to my amazing publisher Boldwood Books and Rachel Gilbey of Rachel’s Random Resources for organising and executing such an amazing tour. I’ve worked with Rachel on several blog tours as an indie writer and was absolutely delighted when Boldwood engaged with her to deliver all the BW author tours. She is brilliant at it! I look forward to seeing what my next (now full) blog tour brings – a joint one for the refreshed re-released Christmas at Carly’s Cupcakes and Starry Skies Over The Chocolate Pot Cafe starting 8th September when Starry Skies is released.

Cosy, comforting and full of warming spices, this easy Pecan Pie recipe is the perfect Autumnal dessert. Serve warm with a scoop of salted caramel ice cream for extra indulgence! 3 reasons to love this Easy Pecan Pie Recipe The ‘pastry’ couldn’t be easier. It’s made using my shortbread ‘pastry’ recipe, instead of a traditional shortcrust pastry. There’s no kneading, chilling or rolling required, believe me when I say it’s as easy as pie to make 😉 The filling is flavoured with cinnamon. This time of year I turn into a total cinnamon nut, I put it in everything! Adding a teaspoon of cinnamon to the filling really does enhance the flavour and adds a lovely warming spice. I’ve added an extra ingredient…white chocolate chunks! Not your typical Pecan Pie filling but I love the combination of white chocolate, pecans and cinnamon. How do I make the shortbread ‘pastry’? Okay so I’ll let you in on a secret…making pastry from scratch is just not my thing. If there is a shortcut or a workaround, I’ll take it! This easy Pecan Pie is made using my shortbread ‘pastry’ that takes a matter of minutes to make. It’s buttery and flaky but still holds the filling perfectly. Here’s how to make it: Mix together the ingredients. Melted butter is stirred into the dry ingredients to make the dough. Press out into the tart tin. Use your hands to push the dough into the base and sides of the tin. Bake until golden. Prick the base all over with a fork and bake for 15 minutes until golden. Top tip: If the pastry has puffed up in the oven, just use the back of a spoon to gently press it down. What’s in the pecan pie filling? Traditional pecan pie has 5 staple ingredients, but I’ve added 2 extras to make this recipe super special! Pecans. The star of the show! Chopped pecans are baked inside the filling and whole pecans are used to decorate the top. Unsalted butter. Gives the filling a buttery delicious flavour. Light brown sugar. The natural caramel flavour of light brown sugar paires beautifully with the pecans. Golden syrup. Sweetens the filling and gives it that signature sticky texture. Eggs. Binds the filling together. Cinnamon. My secret ingredient. Cinnamon adds a warming spice throughout. White chocolate chunks. Another secret ingredient, I love the extra layer of flavour and texture they add. Equipment & ingredients used for this recipe Easy Pecan Pie Cosy, comforting and full of warming spices, this easy Pecan Pie recipe is the perfect Autumnal dessert. Serve warm with a scoop of salted caramel ice cream for extra indulgence! Print Recipe Prep Time 15 mins Cook Time 1 hr Total Time 1 hr 15 mins Course Dessert Cuisine Baking Servings 8 Ingredients For the shortbread pastry 200 g Plain flour 45 g Icing sugar 0.25 tsp Salt 160 g Unsalted butter melted and cooled 1 tsp Vanilla extract For the pecan filling 25 g Unsalted butter 50 g Golden syrup 75 g Light brown sugar 2 tsp Cinnamon 2 large Eggs 150 g Pecans 75 g White chocolate chunks Instructions Start by making the pastry case Preheat oven to 160°C (fan oven). Lightly grease a 9-inch round tart tin (preferably loose-bottom) with a bit of butter. In a large bowl stir together the flour, icing sugar and salt. Add the melted butter and vanilla extract, and mix together until it comes together to make a dough. Press the dough out in the bottom and sides of the tart tin and prick the base all over with a fork. Bake for 15-18 minutes until light golden brown. If the pastry has puffed up, use the back of a spoon to gently press the pastry down. Now make the pecan filling Melt the butter, sugar and golden syrup and cinnamon together in a small saucepan set over a low heat. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes. In a separate large bowl whisk the eggs together. Pour the melted ingredients into the whisked eggs and stir everything together until combined. Roughly chop up 120g of the pecans (saving 8 whole ones for later) and add these to the bowl along with the white chocolate chunks. Mix everything together. Pour the mixture into the pastry case and arrange the whole pecans on top around the edge. Bake for 20 minutes at 160°C, then reduce the temperature to 140°C and bake for a further 15-20 minutes or until the filling has set on the outside but is still slightly wobbly in the middle. If you find that pastry is browning too much, carefully place a piece of foil over the tin. Leave to cool down for 30 minutes or so, before slicing and serving with ice-cream. Notes Store your Pecan Pie in the fridge, wrapped in foil, for up to 3 days.

I have always found writing to be something incredibly cathartic. However, I never realized the writing could have given me the opportunity to connect with people I would have never met otherwise. To have the opportunity to exchange stories and insights with people from all around the globe, who are from all walks of life, is truly fantastic. I would like to consider myself to be a bit of an introspective person who loves to share how I am feeling and learn about how others are feeling. I view sharing deep feelings and thoughts to be, in a way, like sharing part of your soul with another person. I feel really lucky to have been given the opportunity to take some time self-exploring thanks to the lovely nomination from Journal of Dawn. Dawn has a beautiful outlook on life and some amazing stories, so I would totally recommend checking her out! Thanks again, Dawn! ~~~ So this is the Blue Skies Tag and the rules are as follows: Thank the person who has nominated you. Answer their questions. Create 11 questions for your nominees. Tag your 11 nominees. (I really only know one person in the blogging community so I will be nominating her…sorry rules) ~~~ So without further ado, here are Dawn’s questions: 1.Is your Life, today, half-empty, or half-full? I am currently in a life situation that has been causing me a lot of anxiety and stress, and up until lately I would have probably said half-empty. However, I am a strong believer in the saying “what you believe is what you receive” so I have chosen to see my glass and my life to be completely full and awaiting an abundance of things I am waiting for. 2. How have you found goodness from the bad situations in your Life? Example, please :)) I always try to look for goodness in bad situations. I have lost a few friends over the course of college for a variety of reasons, however, I managed to find goodness. Instead of wallowing in the loss of a friend who was no longer serving me, and in many cases putting me down, I began to celebrate the fact that new people were entering my life and filling the spaces in my heart. I like to see every ending as a way of leaving room for a new beginning 🙂 3. Which relationships have been the most challenging for you, and what strategies have you created to improve them? I think the number one most difficult relationship I’ve had the most trouble with is my relationship with myself. I feel like, if anyone has put me down the most, it has been me. I have created my own little strategies to improve that relationship though. My first strategy is to listen to myself. Communication with yourself is ultra important. Knowing what you want and how you’re feeling and expressing that to yourself really helps you stay mentally in check. I also have worked on positive self talk. I give myself pep talks in the car and whenever I put myself down I think to myself, “would I want anyone to talk to my best friend like this?” and if the answer is no then odds are, I shouldn’t be saying that stuff to myself either. 4. What causes you angst, and how do you overcome it? Well I have anxiety, so a lot of things cause me angst. Thinking of the future, thinking of the past, deliberately apathetic people, condescending people, people who rest their coffee cups on their laptops in bed, my current working situation, and so on and so on. I have found meditation to be a good angst squasher. Or just deep breathing and quiet (or gentle music). I also like to distract myself when I am angsty. Yoga is probably my number one go to anti-angst activity. 5. Have you ever written your own jokes???? Memorized them, and tried them out in a long, boring line at the Post Office . . . Did anyone chortle??? (ie — do you have a good joke ready for a sour circumstance :)) (I had a lot of fun writing my Cow Jokes.) No, but I feel like this is a sign from the universe (and Dawn), that I should start, haha. I’m more of an “on the spot” humor person than a “I write my own jokes” kind of person. I feel like I’m funnier when I don’t try to be than when I do. 6. What challenges are you facing in your Life right now? Right now, I feel at odds with my career. I just don’t feel like I am doing what I would really love to be doing and I am trying not to get discouraged because I’m only 22 and there are larger problems in the world and I have so much more life to live, but I’m just in a slump. I am also struggling with the whole “only 24 hours in a day” thing. Like I want to spend adequate time on my personal projects, my friends, my health, yoga, cleaning my room, earning money, making big moves towards a career I want, managing my long distance relationship, rehearsing for the show I am in, and a heaping list of other things…I just can’t find all the time. 7. What do you obsess over? How do you rein in your obsessions? The past and the future, money, my success, things that haven’t happened yet, things that may not even happen ever…I obsess over a lot of super silly things. I try to rein in my obsessions by reading. I have been especially into personal growth books, but I am always down for a cool distracting story too. I also try to tell myself to stop being silly and to snap out of it. Also, yet again, meditating helps. 8. What strategies do you employ for stress relief? It really seems like the answer to all my problems is meditating or yoga… yeah meditating and yoga. I also love writing (obviously, which is why I blog). I have journals dating all the way back to when I was in elementary school of just my thoughts and feelings and stories and dreams and plans. Writing helps me de-stress and get all of my thoughts in one place. 9.What other-wordly phenomena have you experienced? (Intuition, dreams, deja vu, ET, communication with lost loved ones, etc.) What have your learned from them? My intuition is pretty great sometimes. I have even been told by some mediums (whether or not you choose to believe in them) that I have a strong connection to the universe and higher energy. I have also experienced a haunting which was really scary at the time but makes for a really awesome story now! I can’t name anything specific that I learned from either experience, but I guess all in all the experiences taught me that there is so much in life and death that we will never even fully understand, but it plays a large role in our lives every single day. 10. How do you make new friends, or strike up a conversation with a stranger? I’m really shy, so talking to new people is incredibly nerve wracking for me. However, I like to start with a compliment. I feel like people are immediately more open and friendly which you take notice of something specific about them. Once I get talking, I am comfortable. I love talking about obscure topics and feelings. I am one of those “full disclosure” kind of people who will talk to anyone about anything. 11. What do you love to create? How do you motivate yourself to do more of what you love to do??? I love this question. I love to create anything and everything. I feel like the most beautiful gift we are given in life is our ability to create. I love to write and sing and take pictures and draw and color and decorate and express myself through clothing. I love to be creative and create as many new things as I can each day. I want to leave my legacy on the world. I stay motivated by reminding myself of the very reason I do the things I do, which is to better myself and leave a mark on the world in anyway I can. When I feel discouraged I always remind myself that my mark will be my mark. ~~~ So now it is on to the tagging time! I tag my friend Devan to do this. Devan is one of my best friends and I would love to see her speak about some really hard hitting questions. I would also love to see your answers too, Dawn! I also tag anyone who is reading this who would like to answer these questions (and tag me so I see them!) Now we are on to the hard hitting questions: You have the chance to talk to your past self. You can’t change any decisions they will make, but you can tell them one thing you want them to know. What would you tell them and why? What inspires you to write? When finding motivation or inspiration is hard, what do you do to reignite your creative spark? If you wrote about book about your life, what would be the title of the chapter you are currently living? Explain 🙂 How do you feel you have changed within the last year? Where do you hope to see yourself within the next year? What is your most irrational fear and why? What is your most rational fear and why? (hittin’ you with that two part question) If you could go back and relive one moment in your life, what moment would you relive and why? What is the best book you’ve ever read? What made it stand out to you and why would you recommend to others? What has been occupying your mind lately that you can’t seem to get out of your head? Do you believe in the practice of manifestation? Do you believe that the energy you put into the universe cycles back to you? why or why not? How do you handle feeling trapped in a certain circumstance or situation? What is the most valuable thing you’ve learned from someone else? (It could be an inspiring quote, a valuable lesson, or a life changing skill, anything you want!) So flex that blogging muscle and be honest! Looking forward to reading your answers!

Here is a list of the things I will miss about my lil space: What does taking care of yourself mean to you? For me, I practice self-care a lot of ways. Sometimes it's honoring my body's fatigue and staying in to recharge my social battery. Other times it is pushing myself to do things that improve my health and self-esteem, even if I'm tired. The key sign you're taking care of yourself is if you're acting consciously, with your best interest in mind💫 I feel like happiness means different things to different people. And I think it's beautiful that happiness can be experienced by a group of people in different ways. For some people, happiness is a weightless feeling. A dizzying joy filled with giddiness and energy. While, for others, happiness is a softer emotion drenched in calm satisfaction. And sometimes you can bounce between the two from moment to moment. A mix of bliss and serenity in truly spectacular moments. Excitement and peace coexisting in a single emotion. Many people living the happiness in a single moment in hundreds of different ways. The other beautiful thing about happiness is that it comes in waves and chasing it is half the fun of having it💛 Thinking about getting back into writing like I do just about every month. I miss the feeling of turning my life into content and holding myself to a posting schedule, but I am just trying to get my spark back⚡ I've used the caption "send noods🍜" too many times, now what?

Posted February 25, 2015 by Andrew Mazer Giving your home a thorough cleaning can be a time consuming task. You may be busy with work during the week, and caring for the kids, attending events, and running errands on the weekend, and not have time to maintain the cleanliness of your home. Leaving it to a professional cleaning service is one of the best things you can do. Coming in after a long day at work to a beautifully cleaned home is a great feeling and totally worth it. Every home is different in size and style, so it is impossible for cleaners to have a flat rate. There are many factors determine the cost of it. A professional cleaning service will look at how large your home is and how many rooms there are. They’ll also consider many extra services, like window washing, the inside of your refrigerator, and carpet cleaning. If you have things lying around the house like toys for kids and hair from shedding pets, that may be factored into the pricing as well. Another thing to help determine the price of a professional cleaning service is how often you desire them to come. If your home gets cleaned once a week, this would be a cheaper price per cleaning than if a service came once per month, as the home would likely need more of a cleaning monthly than weekly. There are many factors that factor into the cost of a professional cleaning service. Most services will give you your own custom price after discussing with you the details of the services they offer. They will check out your home, and go through additional services and specifications you desire to have done for your home cleaning. Chances are, especially if you have a continuously busy schedule, hiring a professional cleaning service is worth your time and money. It is not good to carry that extra stress, so let a professional take care of it for you! Simple, Quick, and Easy Household Cleaning Tips Posted January 15, 2015 by Andrew Mazer Continuing with our simple, quick, and efficient household cleaning tips, we have some more tricks to maintain cleanliness and freshness of your home that can be done in just a few minutes. Cleaning your home can be very time consuming, especially if you work all day and have to care for kids in the evening. There are some easy tricks though you can do to help keep parts of your home clean that are simpler than you would believe. The following tips focus on the stove top as that is one of the most used appliances in the home. Especially for families that cook a lot, the stove grates can get covered in grease and oil. This does not look good and it is very tough to clean off. Most people cover rags with grease while trying to scrub them clean, or load them in the dishwasher, which helps but doesn’t always seem like all the grease is off. If you have large ziploc bags and regular ammonia, you can clean them better than ever. Simply put 1/4 cup of ammonia in the ziploc bag with the grates, and let them sit overnight. There’s no need to soak them in ammonia; the fumes from it will break down the oils and grease, allowing you to wipe it off easier than ever and leaving them look brand new. If you have wood furniture in your home, you have probably noticed after putting hot food down or a heated beverage, white marks begin to appear on the wood. You may begin to worry as the wood looks damaged and unrep airable. When condensation, usually from steam, gets under the finish, white spots begin to appear on the wood. The only things you need are some linen napkins or a cotton towel, and an iron, to get rid of the marks. Put the towel down, turn the iron on medium and the steam setting on. After moving the iron around on the cloth for a minute or two, you will see the white marks disappear. When you’re done, apply a light coating of olive oil for the finish, and your wooden furniture will look good as new. Parts of your home that initially looks severely damaged or very disgusting can easily be fixed. There are so many Pro Tips and little household cleaning agents that can fix almost anything. These two tricks are important for everyone, as most people use the stove and have some kind of wooden furniture in their home. Don’t spend a fortune having a furniture repair man come out, or cover your sink and dishwasher with grease trying to clean the stove grates; these simple tricks can save you a lot of money and time. Stainless Steel Cleaning Tips Posted October 16, 2014 by Andrew Mazer Stainless steel can be one of the biggest pains to clean. The material has to be cleaned a proper way, or you are left with streaks and very noticeable marks that do not make your stainless steel appliances look as good. Some chemicals to clean steel are very expensive and are stronger than many other cleaning products, potentially making you hesitant about them if you have small children in the house. When cleaning stainless steel, whether it is an appliance or just some pots and pans, you have to actually clean it first, and then polish it to remove the streaks. Cleaning begins with a rag and a mild detergent, such as a little bit of dish soap. It is important to not use wool or a rough towel; the scrubber should say ‘non-scratch’. Scratches cost more than pocket change to fix. After cleaning the stainless steel, the next step is to polish it. Cleaning it will leave streaks, so it is important to properly get rid of them. Some appliances streak more than others, so if one method does not work, you can try another. Using a microfiber rag or paper towel, you can use olive oil, baby oil, or glass cleaner to polish it, then use the other side of the rag to buff away the excess polish. To clean your stainless steel sink, like appliances, you should not use wool or any other scrubber that may scratch your sink. To properly clean your sink, sprinkle some baking soda in the dry sink, then use a damp sponge to rub it around the whole thing. Once it is scrubbed, pour some white vinegar into it, then rinse and dry after the bubbles have gone away. Cleaning your stainless steel appliances, sink, and pots and pans is really simple if you follow the correct procedure. Many people try different methods and end up harming their appliances.

Desperate to find security amid the rising tide of violence against queer people in Cape Town, a group of activists decided to try something new last month. The black queer collective ‘We See You’ pooled their resources to rent a luxury mansion listed on Airbnb in the exclusive Camps Bay neighborhood. Since their stay officially ended in late September, they haven’t left. The collective is staging an occupation to protest Cape Town’s spatial inequalities and violence against queer individuals and communities across South Africa, especially those who identify as transgender. The crisis has reached epidemic proportions with the economic fallout from the Covid-19 pandemic. Gender-based violence and transphobia is a national emergency in South Africa. According to Women for Change, 40 percent of South African women will be raped in their lifetime. The South African Police recorded 41,583 rapes in 2018-19, which translates to an average of 114 rapes recorded every day with many more going unreported. Despite these horrifying statistics, less than 7 percent of rape perpetrators are convicted. According to the OUT, 14% of Gauteng (Johannesburg) residents support violence against gay and lesbian people. That stat is from 2016, and the support seems to have only grown. Many of the We See You activists face rejection at home. Lethabo Hanong, a non-binary transgender woman, pictured above, recounted her story to New Frame magazine from the Camps Bay mansion (seen below). After she began hormone replacement therapy, her family in Cape Town’s Khayelitsha township threw her out to the street. “My mother was okay with it at first, until my brother found out,” Hanong says. “He said my mother must do something about it, and if she doesn’t, he will stop giving my mother money. Eventually, she took his side because my brother is the one who brings income into the house, and I was unemployed, so…” Hanong found refuge in a rented home shared by two collective members. They have since transformed the space into a makeshift shelter for women and queer people left in the cold by the Covid-19 pandemic. Out of sight, out of mind The Camps Bay protest is notable because it marries gender-based violence with the ongoing challenge of spatial apartheid in Cape Town. Land occupations and informal settlements are nothing new in the city, but they generally are kept far away from exclusive neighborhoods like Camps Bay. Informal settlements are the fastest-growing household sector in South African cities, but you would never know that as a resident of Camps Bay or any surrounding neighborhood. You certainly won’t see this side of the town while looking for accommodation on Airbnb. The initial reaction to the We See You protest was centered on Airbnb and the broad contours of spatial apartheid in Cape Town rather than gender-based violence. The activists succeeded in (temporarily) breaking through the invisible barriers that separate the reality of Cape Town from the idyllic wealthy bubble of neighborhoods like Camps Bay. “From a geographical perspective, protest demonstrates the power to articulate mobility.” Bradley Rink, a senior lecturer at the University of the Western Cape who specializes in mobility, cities, and urban identities, told New Frame. “By occupying a property in an exclusive suburb of Cape Town, the occupiers have immobilized others by mobilizing themselves. They have usurped a 21st-century laager of privilege to make their point. Whether you agree with them or not, their point has been made clearly.” I have overheard conversations about the protest that are reminiscent of the 2013 film Elysium. In the near-future dystopian film (unsurprisingly directed by a South African), the wealthy have moved to an idyllic planet-like space ship in Earth’s orbit. While they live a life of luxury, the masses are left to toil on Earth, which has become a wretched hellscape of raw commodity extraction. Eventually, the masses break free and invade the wealthy enclave. Will this change anything? Airbnb refused to support the protesters saying that it was committed to facilitating trust between guests and owners. While Airbnb’s stance is hardly shocking, the response of local politicians and other NGOs has been more problematic. The Democratic Alliance, South Africa’s main opposition party that controls the Western Cape and Cape Town, rejected the protest in the most forceful terms. The DA’s Metro LGBTQUIA+ committee went so far as to say that Airbnb owners could be the real victims, noting “it is disingenuous that the group has chosen to put their interests above those of the thousands of workers employed in the Airbnb industry. It is surely foreseeable that homeowners will no longer offer their houses to-let as Airbnb tourist venue if this can result in illegal occupation.” While the DA’s response has been predictable based on its contempt for any action that challenges the status quo in Cape Town, the story has fallen out of the local news cycle. The activists have been served eviction notices and sooner or later will be removed from the house. Yet the issues they’re fighting for will remain neglected. This is a protest full of theatrics and performance, but maybe that’s what’s needed to jolt the mainstream. The creativity and intersectionality of the protest could mark a new chapter in direct actions that challenge the heart of the status quo. Until that happens, nothing will break the cycle of violence. Some things I read recently How we fooled Donald Trump into retweeting Benito Mussolini Why Arab autocracies adopt women’s rights How to read fewer books “Without food, there is no resistance”: the relationship between the Zapatista conflict and agrobiodiversity A final thought “The cradle rocks above an abyss, and common sense tells us that our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness.” - Vladimir Nabokov, Speak, Memory

"Add Josh Maxey to the long list of guitarists who have changed the music itself. His tenth CD in the last three years is enlarging the vocabulary for six-stringed jazz...it's the more reflective moments that give one pause to consider Maxey as a potential great." Mike Greenblatt Classicalite.com “Josh Maxey is at the forefront of the continuing evolution of jazz and in particular the jazz guitar. In an era where there are so many truly gifted musicians, Josh stands out because of the feeling of his music and playing...and the ability to reach the heart of the listener in a transformative way.” Rodney Jones Professional Guitarist Professor of Jazz Guitar Studies – Juilliard School of Music Professor of Jazz Guitar Studies – Manhattan School of Music "About that project… with the goal of recording six albums in a twelve month span, Maxey has offered up a series of remarkable sets, distinguishable from one another, yet clearly springing from the same creative source. Differentiation, yet maintaining cohesion. Modern jazz that’s clearly beholden to the blues, Maxey has carved out a nice little corner of the music world with his identifiable sound." Dave Sumner BirdistheWorm.com Allaboutjazz.com "Sophisticated yet demure...even sublime at times, Maxey has embodied the culture of his experiences into a captivating collection that reinvents the wheel, over and over again. This is one collection of beauty & art through jazz that will not disappoint. Even the most critical of ears will find that this is a must have."

News - Online Sales of Used Books Draw Protest. I think it's mostly a fuss about nothing. No-one's doing anything illegal or immoral. (And, coldly and bluntly, if your book sales are such that the resale of some review copies -- probably less than a hundred copies -- is going to significantly hurt your royalties, then you really aren't making enough of a living from your writing for anything to matter.) If you buy one of my books (or are sent it to review) it's yours. You bought it (or were given it). You can sell it on. I don't have any more of a problem with Amazon listing the used copies than I do bookstores having used book sections. It's their store. You can buy a book new, buy it in hardback or wait for the paperback, find it used or as a collectible. I don't mind. What I care about most is that people are reading. As I said when I discussed this at length in the piece I put up on this journal, that was quoted in Wired, last month, books don't come with single-end-user licenses, and I think that's a good thing.

To better understand the origin of these movements, we used fluorescence microscopy, image analysis and chromosome conformation capture to quantify the actin contribution to chromosome movements and interactions in budding yeast. We show that both the cytoskeletal and nuclear actin drive local chromosome movements, independently of Csm4, a putative LINC protein. Inhibition of actin polymerization reduces subtelomere dynamics, resulting in more confined territories and enrichment in subtelomeric contacts. Artificial tethering of actin to nuclear pores increased both nuclear pore complex (NPC) and subtelomere motion. Chromosome loci that were positioned away from telomeres exhibited reduced motion in the presence of an actin polymerization inhibitor but were unaffected by the lack of Csm4. We further show that actin was required for locus mobility that was induced by targeting the chromatin-remodeling protein Ino80. Correlated with this, DNA repair by homologous recombination was less efficient. Overall, interphase chromosome dynamics are modulated by the additive effects of cytoskeletal actin through forces mediated by the nuclear envelope and nuclear actin, probably through the function of actin in chromatin-remodeling complexes. Keywords: Actin, Chromosome, Dynamics INTRODUCTION All genomes exhibit multiple levels of organization. Dynamic changes of this organization are observed concomitantly with the proceeding of most, if not all, DNA-related metabolic processes, such as replication, transcription and repair. Experimental evidence points to a role of this dynamic organization in the functional regulation of these important processes (Soutoglou and Misteli, 2007). Hence, the origin of chromosome dynamics is being increasingly investigated, with important efforts aiming to characterize both active and passive mechanisms (for reviews, see Chuang and Belmont, 2007; Zimmer and Fabre, 2011). Chromatin exhibits stochastic movements that are qualitatively consistent with confined diffusion or subdiffusion and thermal agitation (Cabal et al., 2006; Marshall et al., 1997). However, evidence for active, ATP-dependent movements have also been reported in both mitotic (Heun et al., 2001; Weber et al., 2012; Zidovska et al., 2013) and meiotic cells in yeast, worms and mammals (Conrad et al., 2008; Koszul et al., 2008). In this study, we aimed at further investigating the potential influence of actin on chromosome dynamics. In the cytoplasm, actin exists in a dynamic interplay between its monomeric form, G-actin, and its polymerized form F-actin. F-actin is a complex cytoskeletal structure involved in a variety of conserved functions, including endocytosis, cytoplasmic transport and nuclear migration (for reviews, see Mishra et al., 2014; Stricker et al., 2010). The presence of actin in the nucleus, once a hotly debated topic, is now established, primarily from studies in mammalian cells (for review, see de Lanerolle, 2012). In contrast to cytoplasmic actin, most nuclear actin exists in its monomeric form. Yet, actin filaments have been found in the nucleus of certain cell types (for review, see Grosse and Vartiainen, 2013). For instance, formin–actin rods can be detected under non-physiological conditions, such as heat shock, ATP depletion or inhibition of actin polymerization with latrunculin A (de Lanerolle, 2012; Grosse and Vartiainen, 2013). Nuclear actin filaments are also formed upon serum stimulation of quiescent fibroblasts, a step that is involved in the regulation of actin-binding transcription factor MRTF (Baarlink et al., 2013). Furthermore, G-actin and actin related proteins (Arps) are part of chromatin-remodeling complexes, which are conserved from yeast to mammals (for review, see Kapoor and Shen, 2014). Nuclear actin has also been shown to modulate transcription through binding to all three classes of RNA polymerase and through regulation of chromosome movement (Chuang et al., 2006; Dundr et al., 2007). Actin nuclear import and export, mediated by the actin-binding proteins cofilin and profilin, appears to play a role in the regulation of nuclear actin (Baarlink et al., 2013; de Lanerolle and Serebryannyy, 2011). Unlike mammalian species, the yeast genome carries a single essential gene, ACT1, encoding actin. The yeast Act1 protein is found in NuA4, a histone acetyl transferase complex, as well as in the chromatin-remodeling complexes SWR1 and INO80. The INO80 complex is involved in DNA repair, replication and cell-cycle control (for review, see Dion and Gasser, 2013). In vitro, interaction of the Ino80 subunit with chromatin has been shown to require the actin module containing Arp4 and Arp8 (Kapoor et al., 2013). Targeting of Ino80 to a given locus in vivo enhances motion of the locus, through a process involving the ATPase activity of Ino80 (Neumann et al., 2012). The exact role of actin in regulating these functions is, however, unclear, notably its influence on chromosome dynamics. One of the mechanisms that links the cytoskeleton to chromosomes functions through proteins that contain SUN and KASH domains. These proteins, located in the nuclear envelope, form a linker of nucleoskeleton and cytoskeleton (LINC) complex that physically connects the cytoskeleton to chromosomes. During meiotic prophase, a dynamic reorganization of the chromosomes is ensured by the LINC complex (Horn et al., 2013; Rog and Dernburg, 2013; Sheehan and Pawlowski, 2009). In budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, these movements are driven by forces generated at the level of the actin cytoskeleton and transduced through the nuclear envelope and Csm4 to the telomeres (Conrad et al., 2008; Koszul et al., 2008; Scherthan, 2007; Trelles-Sticken et al., 2000). During interphase of yeast vegetative cells, dynamic interactions of chromosomes with the nuclear envelope are observed, but the rapid global movements described in meiosis remain specific to that cell stage. The dynamics of discrete chromosomal loci depend on their chromosomal and nuclear position, for which the nuclear envelope appears to play a crucial role. More specifically, the 32 chromosome ends of a haploid S. cerevisiae genome are tethered to the nuclear envelope through redundant pathways that involve Esc1, Mps3, Csm4, the silencing informatory regulator (Sir) proteins and the nuclear pore complex (NPC) (Bupp et al., 2007; Feuerbach et al., 2002; Galy et al., 2000; Hediger et al., 2002; Hiraga et al., 2008; Taddei et al., 2004; Therizols et al., 2006; Van de Vosse et al., 2013). As a result of their attachment to the nuclear envelope, subtelomere movements occur within a relatively confined environment (Heun et al., 2001; Therizols et al., 2010). Here, we investigate the role of actin and Csm4 in the dynamics and organization of chromosomes in the S. cerevisiae nucleus through a combination of cellular imaging and genetic techniques. We show that the diffusion of NPCs is reduced in the absence of polymerized actin, whereas the bridging of actin filaments to NPCs increases their diffusion. Such a bridge increases subtelomere dynamics but not that of an internal locus. Interestingly, the presence of latrunculin A reduces the movement of chromosomal regions located far from the nuclear envelope. Inhibition of actin polymerization also remodels the nuclear territories of subtelomeres in both wild type (WT) and Δcsm4 cells, pointing to a role of actin in actively increasing the territories explored by chromosome loci during interphase. In these conditions, contacts between subtelomeres increase. The presence of latrunculin A prevents local mobility owing to targeted complex-remodeling protein Ino80. In these conditions, targeted homologous recombination following induced double-strand breaks (DSBs) is reduced. We show that actin is required for active chromosome dynamics and suggest that motion is generated by an additive effect at the cytoplasmic level, possibly transduced to subtelomeres through the nuclear envelope and NPCs and, in the nucleus, probably through chromatin-remodeling complex functions. RESULTS Antagonistic effects of Csm4 and polymerized actin on subtelomere dynamics To investigate the potential role(s) of actin in controlling chromosome motion, we monitored the dynamics of three subtelomeric loci labeled with the fluorescent repressor–operator system (FROS) comprising a GFP-tagged tetracycline repressor and tetracycline operator (TetO/TetR–GFP) (Michaelis et al., 1997). Chromosome extremities are known to be positioned close to the nuclear periphery and in the vicinity of NPCs (Bupp et al., 2007; Feuerbach et al., 2002; Galy et al., 2000; Hediger et al., 2002; Hiraga et al., 2008; Taddei et al., 2004; Therizols et al., 2010; Van de Vosse et al., 2013), and could therefore be more sensitive to actin cytoskeleton defects. The loci were chosen on chromosome arms of different lengths, ranging from short to long (Tel14R, 157 kb; Tel5R, 430 kb; Tel15R, 705 kb; Fig. 1A; Fig. S1A). To deplete actin filaments, we incubated the cells at room temperature in the presence of 30 µM latrunculin A (hereafter referred to as Lat) for 30 min before imaging and monitored drug efficiency with actin-binding protein Abp140p. Lat was preferred over other actin depolymerizing drugs (cytochalasin, swinholide) because of its ability to bind to and trap actin monomers specifically through its insertion into the barbed end of actin (Morton et al., 2000). As a control, cells were incubated in Lat solvent, DMSO (Fig. 1A). The movements of subtelomeres were tracked using time-lapse fluorescence microscopy in 500–1500 cells, and the mean square displacements (MSD) were computed (Fig. 1B; Fig. S1A; Materials and Methods). In both WT and Lat-treated cells, the MSD revealed a consistent scaling law with time interval Δt, MSD≈ 4CΔtα described by an exponent α≈0.5 (Materials and Methods). The prefactor C characterizes how fast the chromatin locus moves, the exponent is indicative of the type of diffusion, subdiffusive if α<1 or diffusive if α=1 (in this latter case, C would be identical to the diffusion coefficient). Our finding that α≈0.5 is in agreement with previous studies on other chromosome loci, which have reported subdiffusion with similar exponents in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes (Cabal et al., 2006; Hajjoul et al., 2013; Weber et al., 2010). This shows that subtelomeres undergo subdiffusive motion. Interestingly, subtelomere dynamics in Lat-treated cells remained subdiffusive with the same exponent α≈0.5; the prefactor C substantially decreased in the presence of latrunculin, indicating a reduced motion of the chromatin locus (Fig. 1B, Table 1; Fig. S1A).

Subdiffusive motion of loci examined in this study View Large During yeast meiotic prophase, the actin cytoskeleton drives movements of the nuclear envelope LINC complex (Conrad et al., 2008; Koszul et al., 2008). To test whether a similar interplay determines subtelomeric dynamics during vegetative growth, the imaging analysis was performed in Mps3 and Csm4 mutant strains, two members of the LINC complex whose absence impairs meiotic movements (Conrad et al., 2008; Wanat et al., 2008). ΔN1-75mps3 mutants quickly accumulate aneuploid chromosomes. This phenotype can be rescued in a mutant of the NPC, Δpom152 (Fig. S2; Witkin et al., 2010). Yet, Δpom152 itself has an effect on subtelomere organization (Fig. S2), making it difficult to non-ambiguously interpret the role of ΔN1-75mps3 in subtelomere positioning in the double mutant. Therefore, this mutant was discarded from further analysis. In contrast, Δcsm4 did not accumulate chromosomal defects. Subtelomeric subdiffusion appeared to be faster in Δcsm4 than in WT (Fig. 1B). Further analyses of subtelomere organization in this mutant revealed a release from the nuclear envelope (see below, Fig. 1C, Table 1; Fig. S1), confirming and extending previous observations of a delocalization of the long chromosome arm subtelomere Tel14L in the absence of Csm4 (Hiraga et al., 2008). Our results show that Csm4 is important for subtelomere positioning and for constrained dynamics. Interestingly, in the presence of latrunculin, subtelomere dynamics were decreased in Δcsm4 (Fig. 1B). This indicates a synergistic rather than an epistatic influence between defects in actin polymerization and the Δcsm4 mutant. Altogether, these results point to an influence of actin filaments on subtelomere dynamics during interphase that is distinct from that one observed during meiotic prophase. Csm4 and actin differentially modulate the characteristics of subtelomeric territories To determine the impact of the decreased chromosome mobility on their overall organization, the territories occupied in the nuclear space by the subtelomeres were computed from thousands of cells using nucloc, an automated image analysis program (Berger et al., 2008; Fig. 1C; Fig. S1B). Briefly, for each nucleus, the relative position of a fluorescently labeled locus with respect to two nuclear landmarks was determined from three-dimensional (3D) microscopy images. Analyzed in over hundreds of cells, these positions were then aggregated to generate two-dimensional (2D) probability density maps. Here, the spindle pole body (SPB; the yeast microtubule organizing center) was used as one of the two nuclear landmarks (the second one being the center of the nucleus), instead of the nucleolus as center of mass as initially used by Berger et al. (2008). The Spc29–mCherry fluorescently labeled SPB appeared as a diffraction-limited discrete fluorescent complex facing the nucleolus (Fig. 1C). Data acquisition was performed on G1-phase daughter cells that had been recovered through centrifugal elutriation to avoid potential nuclear deformations resulting from hormonal treatment (Marbouty et al., 2014). As expected, these cells exhibited a single discrete fluorescent SPB that was used as a landmark to generate high-resolution probabilistic 2D maps (Fig. 1C; Fig. S1B,C). Furthermore, the three subtelomeres were positioned on average in the vicinity of the nuclear envelope, with the chromosome arm lengths influencing the average angular positions with respect to the SPB–nuclear-center axis (Fig. 1C; Fig. S1B; Therizols et al., 2010). To reduce subtelomere mobility, cells were then incubated at room temperature in the presence or absence of latrunculin B (see Materials and Methods). In the presence of latrunculin B, the subtelomere territories remained at the nuclear periphery and were correlated to chromosome arm length (Fig. 1C; Fig. S1B). Yet, statistical tests revealed that territories occupied by long and middle arm subtelomeres (i.e. Tel15R and Tel5R) were significantly modified [P-values of 9.7×10−7 (long arm) and 1.8×10−4 (middle arm) between WT and latrunculin-B-treated conditions; see Materials and Methods, and Duong et al., 2012]. Interestingly, the volumes occupied by the territories were also significantly reduced in the presence of latrunculin B (2.3–1.5 µm3 and 2.5–2.1 µm3 for Tel15R and Tel5R, respectively; Table S1; Berger et al., 2008). For the short arm Tel14R territory, no significant effects were observed (Fig. S1A; P=0.425), perhaps reflecting the stronger mechanical constraints exerted on small chromosome arms as a result of the higher density of chromatin in the vicinity of the SPB, where all chromosome arms are tethered (Wong et al., 2012). To test the effect of actin depolymerization on untethered subtelomeres, we characterized subtelomere territories in the absence of Csm4 in the G1 phase. In a Δcsm4 background, territories occupied by the middle and long chromosome arm subtelomeres drifted away from the nuclear membrane, as shown by computing the median distance between the center of the territory and the nuclear envelope (shift from 0.192 µm to 0.186 µm, 0.179 to 0.205 and 0.197 to 0.245 for Tel14R, Tel5R and Tel15R, respectively; Fig. 1C; Fig. S1B; Table S1). Interestingly, treatment with latrunculin B in the absence of Csm4 further reduced the volume and increased the confinement of Tel5R and Tel15R territories (by −8% and −14%, respectively; Table S1). Therefore, actin depolymerization affects subtelomere organization independently of nuclear envelope targeting during G1-phase vegetative growth. Actin-mediated subtelomere dynamics determine subtelomere–subtelomere interactions Collisions between subtelomeres involve more frequently chromosome arms of similar sizes (Hoze et al., 2013; Therizols et al., 2010). Using genome-wide chromosome conformation capture (3C) experiments, we quantified the average contact frequencies between subtelomeres in populations of cells under WT and latrunculin-A conditions (Material and Methods; Duan et al., 2010; Marie-Nelly et al., 2014). Contacts between subtelomeric regions (i.e. 30-kb windows starting from the telomere) were computed and maps generated with the subtelomeres sorted according to their chromosome arm length (Fig. 1D; Fig. S1D). In untreated cells, two groups of subtelomeres displayed enriched contact frequencies among themselves, corresponding to short (<150 kb) and long (>300 kb) arms (brown squares, Fig. 1D, left; Duan et al., 2010; Therizols et al., 2010), whereas lat-treated cells reproducibly exhibited a substantial increase in subtelomere–subtelomere contacts (by about 10–30%, Fig. 1D, right). Therefore, the reduced dynamics associated with the presence of latrunculin A correlates with an increase in contacts between the subtelomeres of chromosome arms with similar sizes. Nuclear pore dynamics decrease in the absence of actin filaments For the actin cytoskeleton network to influence subtelomere motion, mechanical forces have to propagate through the nuclear envelope. Because Csm4, which plays such a role during meiosis prophase, did not appear to do so in G1, we examined NPC dynamics under conditions that affect actin filament formation. We characterized the mobility of wild-type NPCs in both tropomyosin mutants and under latrunculin-A-treated conditions. Tropomyosin stabilizes actin cables and is encoded by the paralogous genes TPM1 and TPM2 (Drees et al., 1995). At 34.5°C, actin filaments are destabilized in the thermosensitive strain Δtpm2 tpm1-1 (Pruyne et al., 1998). Actin cables were labeled using Abp140–GFP (Riedl et al., 2008). Cytoplasmic actin cables were depleted both in tropomyosin mutants at the non-permissive temperature and in the presence of latrunculin A (Fig. 2). NPC diffusion was visualized with nucleoporin Nup49 fused to GFP (Nup49–GFP) and by fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) of a region of the nuclear envelope (Materials and Methods) in WT cells and under actin-depolymerizing conditions (Fig. 2A). To compare quantitatively different situations, we considered the fluorescence recovered after 30 s. In WT or tropomyosin mutant cells, grown at 30°C, 30%±3% fluorescence was recovered after 30 s. Nuclear pore mobility was compromised upon addition of latrunculin A to a WT culture (20%±3%, Fig. 2B) or in tropomyosin mutant cells at the restrictive temperature (20%±1.5%, Fig. 2D). Deletion of nuclear envelope components, Δcsm4 (Fig. 2B) or members of the NPC (Δpom152; Δnup170) did not result in significant effects on nuclear pore diffusion (Fig. S3, see Discussion). Furthermore, nuclear pore dynamics remained unchanged in a background in which the chromatin-remodeling complex INO80 was compromised (Δarp8, Fig. S3). These results show that actin cytoplasmic filaments are required for nuclear pore diffusion. Fig. 2.

Artificial tethering of actin to the nuclear envelope increases NPC diffusion and subtelomere dynamics Having shown that lack of actin filaments impairs NPC and subtelomere dynamics, we sought to obtain direct evidence of the mechanical link between nuclear pore diffusion and subtelomere dynamics. In order to see if increasing the nuclear pore dynamics would result in an increase in chromosome mobility, we anchored actin to Nup49. To do so, the actin-cable-binding domain LifeAct (Riedl et al., 2008) was fused to Nup49–GFP and put under the control of the wild-type NUP49 promoter (LifeAct–GFP–Nup49, hereafter named LGN) in a Δnup49 background (Fig. 3). Given the fact that NUP49 is essential for cell survival, we first constructed two shuffling strains in which Δnup49 was complemented by two plasmids, one expressing wild-type Nup49 and another expressing either Nup49–GFP or LGN. If LGN can efficiently complement Δnup49, it should be possible to recover cells that express only LGN. This was the case with a frequency of spontaneous loss three times more efficient for Nup49–GFP (40% and 13.5% for Nup49-GFP and LGN, respectively). The respective division times were 1h 45 min and 2 h 20 min for cells expressing Nup49–GFP and cells expressing the LGN fusion protein. As observed with fluorescence and confirmed with structured illuminated microscopy (SIM), LGN concentrated into bright discrete structures at the NPC that colocalized with another integral component of NPC fused to a red variant, Nup159–mCherry (Fig. 3; Hayakawa et al., 2012). Interestingly, the nuclear envelope exhibited important deformations, with elongated structures reminiscent of those observed in an Δndj1 mutant during meiotic prophase, where subtelomeres are detached from the LINC complex, but actin cables keep pulling on the nuclear envelope external membrane, leading to nuclear envelope deformations (Koszul et al., 2008). In LGN-expressing cells, the nuclear envelope deformations were lost upon treatment with latrunculin A (Fig. S4). We conclude that LGN is a functional NPC protein and that its ability to connect to actin filaments modifies the morphology of the nuclear envelope. Nup49–GFP and LGN diffusion dynamics were then followed by using FRAP. FRAP experiments first revealed an increase in NPC diffusion in the strain expressing LGN compared to the strain that did not (+ and −LGN, respectively; Fig. 3B). NPC diffusion was greatly diminished in the presence of latrunculin A (Fig. S4). These observations indicate that LGN favors actin filament attachment to the nucleus and consequently Nup49–GFP diffusion in the nuclear membrane. Fig. 3.

We then tested whether the LGN construct had an effect on subtelomere dynamics. The MSD of subtelomere Tel15R was characterized in the presence or absence of LGN. Subtelomere dynamics remained subdiffusive with a power of law of α≈0.5, the subdiffusion coefficient increased significantly (P-value Kolmogorov–Smirnov test=0.0065; Fig. 3). In addition, subtelomere dynamics decreased in the presence of latrunculin A (Fig. S4). Altogether, these results establish that NPC association to the cytoskeleton influences both NPC and subtelomere motion, pointing at the nuclear envelope as a regulator of subtelomere dynamics. Internal chromosome loci dynamics are reduced in the absence of polymerized actin but not in the absence of Csm4 The links between actin cytoskeleton, NPC and subtelomere dynamics prompted us to analyze the motion of other chromosomal loci distant from the telomere, in the presence and absence of filamentous actin. A position within the right arm of chromosome IV, known to be preferentially positioned away from the periphery (735 kb from the centromere; Wong et al., 2012) was tracked by using time-lapse acquisition as described above, with or without latrunculin A (Materials and Methods). In the DMSO control, all loci exhibited similar prefactor C values in agreement with previous results (above and Hajjoul et al., 2013). Interestingly, in the presence of latrunculin A, a marked decrease in subdiffusion was observed both in WT and Δcsm4 cells (Fig. 4A; Fig. S1, Table S1). However, in the absence of treatment with latrunculin A, the movement of the middle chromosomal arm site was unaltered in Δcsm4 (Fig. 4B), indicating that this putative KASH ortholog is not involved in chromosome dynamics in general.

The effect of latrunculin A on the dynamics of chromosomal loci in interstitial regions points to two possible scenarios. Either the influence of actin inside the nuclear space results from the forces generated at the level of cytoplasmic actin filaments that are transduced to chromosomes, extending from subtelomeres to the entire chromosome, or alternatively this effect could result from the sequestration of nuclear monomeric actin by latrunculin. Indeed, the size of the latrunculin A molecule does allow its diffusion into the nucleus (Morton et al., 2000). The former scenario appears unlikely given that the dynamics of an internal locus is unaffected by the expression of LGN (Fig. 4B). Therefore, a likely effect of latrunculin A is that it impacts on the chromosome dynamics of all interstitial loci studied through the sequestration of nuclear actin. Actin is required for chromosomal movements induced by fusion of the chromatin remodeling protein Ino80 to LexA To address whether nuclear actin plays a role in chromosome mobility through chromatin-remodeling complexes, we implemented the LexA–Ino80 system described previously by Neumann et al. (2012; Methods). This system allows us to affect the mobility of a locus by targeting it with the Ino80 protein, the ATPase of the chromatin-remodeling complex INO80. As expected, the mobility of a centromeric locus was increased when Ino80 was targeted into its vicinity through the use of the LexA–Ino80 fusion (C=4.76×10−3±2.84×10−4 µm2/s0.5 versus 6.3×10−3±3.94×10−4 for LexA and LexA–Ino80 transformed strains respectively; Fig. 5A, left). Following addition of latrunculin, the locus dynamics induced by LexA–Ino80 decreased and became similar to a control in which LexA alone had been targeted (C=4.4×10−3±1.19×10−4 µm2/s0.5 for LexA–Ino80 versus C=4.3×10−3±1.21×10−4 µm2/s0.5 for LexA alone; Fig. 5A, middle and right). Altogether, these results indicate that actin is essential for the Ino80-dependent increase in chromatin mobility. Fig. 5.

Actin is required for efficient DNA repair through homologous recombination Because actin is important for the regulation of chromosome dynamics by the chromatin-remodeling complex INO80, we hypothesized that DNA repair might be impaired in this context (Bennett et al., 2013). We therefore tested the efficiency of the homologous recombination repair pathway in the absence of filamentous actin. To do so, we turned to an ectopic recombination assay where a HO-endonuclease-induced DSB is generated within a recipient cassette carrying sequences identical to a donor cassette positioned elsewhere in the genome (Agmon et al., 2013; Aylon et al., 2004). DSB and homologous recombination repair kinetics were quantified through semi-quantitative PCR amplification (Fig. 5B, Materials and Methods; Agmon et al., 2013). Repair through homologous recombination between the donor and recipient cassettes is more efficient when both loci are positioned within subtelomeres of chromosome arms of similar sizes rather than of different sizes (Agmon et al., 2013). Using a strain in which both donor and recipient cassettes were positioned within the subtelomeres of short chromosome arms (Tel9R and an artificially truncated Tel13R-f; strain NA61-B8; Agmon et al., 2013), we performed a time-course experiment to measure repair through homologous recombination after HO-endonuclease induction in the absence and presence of latrunculin A (Materials and Methods). In a genetic WT background, the HO-endonuclease-induced DSBs at the recipient cassette were efficiently repaired using the donor cassette through homologous recombination (Fig. 5B, left). Interestingly, in the presence of latrunculin, cells conserved the ability to repair HO-endonuclease-induced DSBs through homologous recombination but with a lower efficiency (Fig. 5B, right). These results suggest that, although Tel9R and Tel13R-f share overlapping nuclear territories (Agmon et al., 2013), the proximity of homologous sequences is not sufficient for homologous repair to take place efficiently in the presence of latrunculin. The drop in the efficiency of homologous recombination in the presence of latrunculin A remains to be further characterized and could result from several mechanisms that are not mutually exclusive – the established role for actin in the INO80 complex (Agmon et al., 2013; Bennett et al., 2013; Horigome et al., 2014; Kapoor et al., 2013) – or a possible role in facilitating homology search through chromosome jiggling. DISCUSSION Although it has been established that chromatin is subject to Brownian as well as active motion, how the latter active processes are generated remains unclear. We show that during yeast interphase, both cytoplasmic and nuclear actin is required for dynamic motion of chromosomal loci. First, we provide an integrated and quantitative set of evidence that the nuclear envelope can transduce mechanical forces from the actin cytoskeleton to chromosome ends, promoting active dynamics. Second, we show that nuclear actin is required for the motion of loci that are positioned away from the nuclear membrane. Nuclear actin is involved in chromatin mobility and can act in association with the chromatin-remodeling complex INO80. Finally, we identify a role for actin in the homologous repair of DSBs. Interphase subdiffusive chromatin dynamics requires actin During the G1 stage of the cell cycle, subtelomeres localize principally at the nuclear periphery, centromeres are tethered to the SPB through nuclear microtubules and internal loci are preferentially found in the nuclear interior (Bystricky et al., 2005; Jin et al., 1998; Schober et al., 2008; Therizols et al., 2010; Verdaasdonk et al., 2013; Wong et al., 2012). We show that during G1, the motion of subtelomeric, peri-centromeric and interstitial loci is subdiffusive (exponent α≈0.5). This is in agreement with previous studies, which have shown that locus motion does not obey free diffusion but is instead constrained with a subdiffusive behavior that is ubiquitously observed in bacteria, yeast and mammals (Heun et al., 2001; Marshall et al., 1997; Weber et al., 2012). The observed subdiffusive exponent is consistent with the Rouse model of polymer dynamics that assumes spring-like interactions between consecutive monomers, or alternatively with a viscoelastic response of the nuclear medium (Bronstein et al., 2009; Cabal et al., 2006; Hajjoul et al., 2013; Lucas et al., 2014; Weber et al., 2012). Although the anomalous exponent does not depend on the locus, the prefactor C shows variations relative to the genomic position, as exemplified by the reduced mobility of subtelomeres (Bystricky et al., 2005; Hajjoul et al., 2013; Heun et al., 2001). When actin filaments were depleted following addition of latrunculin A, the subdiffusive prefactor C was decreased, whereas the exponent α≈0.5 was maintained, suggesting that actin filaments do not affect the constraint that prevents the locus from undergoing free diffusion. Consistent with previous work describing active ATP-dependent chromatin dynamics in yeast, our work establishes actin as a major driver of chromosome motion (Heun et al., 2001; Marshall et al., 1997; Steinberg et al., 2012; Weber et al., 2012). We failed to find directional movements, at least at the timescale we monitored (∼100 ms; data not shown). Of note, in mammalian U2OS cells, small-sized actin filaments can be visualized, excluded from chromatin-rich regions, which lack any persistent directed motion (Belin et al., 2013). Our observations are nevertheless coherent with actin involvement in chromatin-based long-range motion that has been described in former studies in other eukaryotes (Chuang et al., 2006; Dundr et al., 2007). The 32 yeast subtelomeres typically cluster into 3–6 transient foci of 2–3 subtelomeres, suggesting that a subset of chromosome ends are not colocalizing at any given time (Hoze et al., 2013; Schober et al., 2008; Therizols et al., 2010). The decrease of the volume of subtelomere territories in the absence of functional actin is associated with significant reductions in subtelomere dynamics and with an approximately 15% increase in subtelomere contacts, as detected by using 3C analysis. Hence, in the absence of actin-dependent motion, natural transient contacts are stabilized. This suggests a role for actin motion in the maintenance of subtelomere individualization through reducing subtelomere lifespan within foci. Interestingly, a potential role for the dynamic actin-mediated chromosome movements observed during yeast meiosis prophase has been found to solve unwanted entanglements and thus facilitate homolog pairing (Koszul et al., 2008; Koszul and Kleckner, 2009). Our observations suggest that such an influence of actin in maintaining individualization of chromosomes might extend to the vegetative cell cycle as well. Interplay between actin filaments, the nuclear envelope and chromosomes The nuclear envelope is a complex structure comprising a lipid bilayer and protein complexes that separates the nucleoplasm from the cytoplasm. During budding yeast meiosis, a protein complex spanning through the nuclear envelope transmits mechanical forces from the actin cytoskeleton to chromosome ends, resulting in dynamic motion of the entire chromosome. The motion observed during interphase differs dramatically in its amplitude from the one that has been characterized during meiosis. During meiotic prophase, actin-dependent localization and dynamics of telomeres is impaired in the absence of either Csm4 (a putative KASH-like protein), the N-terminal region of Mps3 (SUN-like protein, Δ75-150mps3) or Ndj1, a meiotic telomere binding protein (Conrad et al., 2008; Koszul et al., 2008; Trelles-Sticken et al., 2005; Scherthan et al., 2007). In G1, Csm4 also influenced subtelomere organization and dynamics – in the mutant, the motion of delocalized subtelomere was increased, rather than reduced as it is in meiosis. The role of Csm4 in transducing a mechanical force from the cytoskeleton to chromosomes during meiosis prophase thus remains specific to that stage. The NPC was recently reported as being an additional intermediate between cytoskeleton forces and chromatin in the nuclear envelope. Cytoplasmic molecular motors in both S. cerevisiae and Ustilago Maydis have been shown to prevent NPC clustering and to affect chromosome distribution (Steinberg et al., 2012). We did not observe such clustering in the absence of actin filaments in our strain backgrounds, but we observed slower nuclear pore mobility under actin-depolymerizing conditions. The deletions of DYN2 or PAC11 reduce NPC mobility (Steinberg et al., 2012), and Dyn2 and Pac11, which interact with Act1 and proteins of the NPCs (Stelter et al., 2007), might therefore be good candidates for establishing a bridge between actin cables and NPCs. In contrast, Pom152 and Nup170 have no effect on NPC mobility, although interactions between Nup170 and subtelomeres have recently been documented (Van de Vosse et al., 2013). Overall, these results are consistent with a pivotal role of the NPC in the regulation of subtelomere dynamics during interphase. To test the role of the NPC as an intermediate between the actin cytoskeleton and chromosomes, two experiments were performed. First, using FRAP, we determined that the mobility of the NPC was decreased in the absence of actin filaments (both after latrunculin A addition or tropomyosin inactivation), establishing a link between actin and NPC dynamics. Second, we showed that increasing the connections of actin to the NPC increases subtelomere dynamics, pointing at a connection between NPC and chromatin. Subtelomere motion in WT cells therefore results, at least in part, from the dynamic interplay between the actin cytoskeleton, the NPC and chromosomes. Interestingly, in mammals, distinct cytoskeleton motors – i.e. the microtubules – have been recently shown to transduce a mechanical force through the LINC complex to increase the chromosome mobility of nearby damaged telomeres (Lottersberger et al., 2015). A role for nuclear actin in chromatin mobility Studying the influence of actin on nuclear processes is an intrinsically difficult task because every manipulation of cytoplasmic actin-cable depolymerization affects the equilibrium between G-actin and F-actin in the cell. This includes treatment with latrunculin A (Domazetovska et al., 2007; Schoenenberger et al., 2005). Therefore, techniques that tether cytoplasmic actin to a nucleoporin (Fig. 3), for example, appears to be a promising approach to distinguish between cytoplasmic and nuclear actin. Yet, the observation that latrunculin A affects the mobility of loci that are positioned away from the nuclear envelope (i.e. delocalized subtelomeres in the Δcsm4 mutant or interstitial chromosomal loci) suggests that the forces generated at the cytoplasm level are not the only players in chromatin mobility and prompted us to test for a role of actin in the nucleus. We found that a fusion protein comprising actin and the LexA-binding domain under the control of a conditional promoter has a dominant-negative effect on cytoplasmic actin (data not shown). We therefore exploited the fusion between chromatin remodeling protein Ino80 and the LexA-binding protein (Neumann et al., 2012) to target Ino80 to LexA-binding sites. The increase in local chromatin mobility required the ATPase activity of Ino80 (Neumann et al., 2012) but was suppressed by the addition of latrunculin, showing that actin is also required for INO80 complex function. How actin acts in the remodeling complex to increase dynamics remains an open question, but it is known that, in vitro, an act1-2 mutant has a decreased affinity for chromatin and that latrunculin A might affect actin ATPase activity by binding to actin barbed ends (Morton et al., 2000). Because Ino80 is targeted to chromatin by LexA, we propose that defective chromatin motion due to latrunculin A binding to actin might not happen through a defective binding of the INO80 complex to chromatin but rather through the inability to assemble a functional INO80 complex. Functional consequences The addition of latrunculin A during meiosis prophase impairs the proper progression of the carefully regulated meiotic program. We found that actin-dependent chromosome movements affect homologous recombination repair efficiency. This repair mechanism requires the recruitment of INO80, SWR-C, NuA4, SWI/SNF and RSC to the DSBs during S phase (Bennett et al., 2013). Interestingly, the INO80, SWR-C and NuA4 complexes contain actin in both yeast and mammals (for review, see Kapoor and Shen, 2014). Of these three remodeling complexes, only the ATPase subunit of INO80 has been found to induce a local increase of mobility (Neumann et al., 2012). It is unknown at this stage if actin is affected to a similar extent in all remodeling complexes by the addition of latrunculin. It will be challenging to distinguish whether efficient repair requires local mobility, the presence of functional chromatin-remodeling complexes or both. Drug inhibition of actin under DSB-inducing conditions leads to chromosome fragmentation, indicating another role for actin in DNA repair (Shimada et al., 2013). Interestingly, a recent study in U2OS cells shows that nuclear actin filaments are generated upon DSB induction and, in turn, these filaments are required for efficient repair (Belin et al., 2015). A role of actin in DSB repair, perhaps through its function in chromatin dynamics, appears to be an evolutionarily conserved feature. Overall, the present study shows that chromatin mobility during interphase requires actin. Our results open interesting perspectives regarding the interplay between cytoskeleton and chromosome organization, and the role of nuclear actin in chromatin-remodeling complexes. It is becoming increasingly clear that mechano-sensing mechanisms are able to transduce mechanical signals within and outside of the cells. For instance, signaling from the extracellular matrix to the nucleus has been described in mammals, and long nuclear filamentous structures that are sensitive to latrunculin A are associated with the NPCs of Drosophila oocytes, indicating intriguing interconnections that are likely to contribute to the complexity of cellular regulation (Kiseleva et al., 2004; Grinthal et al., 2010; Kumar et al., 2014). MATERIALS AND METHODS Yeast strains and plasmids All strains are derivatives of BY4741 and listed in Table S2. Strains tagged for subtelomeres have been described previously by Therizols et al. (2010). These strains were additionally marked for the SPB with SPC29-mCherry through PCR transformation and for the nuclear envelope with a plasmid containing NUP49-GFP-ADE2. Δtpm2, tpm1-1 mutant was obtained from I. Sagot Université de Bordeaux, Institut de Biochimie et Génétique Cellulaires, Bordeaux, France. Mutants (Δcsm4, Δpom152, Δnup170 and Δarp8) were from the Euroscarf collection. LifeAct–GFP and LifeAct–GFP–Nup49 fusions were constructed according to the Gilson method. Overlapping PCRs from LifeAct, GFP or Nup49, and replicative plasmids containing ADE2 or KANMX were used to transform yeast. Plasmids were purified from yeast transformants, amplified in Escherichia coli and verified by sequencing. Centrifugal elutriation For cell-cycle synchronization in G1 phase, cells that had been grown in synthetic complete (SC) medium to exponential phase were harvested and resuspended in 30 ml of PBS (1×1010−1×1011 cells) and loaded into the chamber (Sanderson elutriation chamber; Beckman Coulter) at a flow rate of 20 ml/min and a rotor speed of 602 g, at 23°C. The elutriation chamber was filled by increasing the flow rate by 2 ml/min, followed by 1 h of cell equilibration. 50 ml were collected per fraction. The cell-cycle stage was determined on a subfraction by using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) using MACSQuant (Miltenyi) and FlowJo software. For imaging, cells were incubated for 10 min in SC medium and budding was observed after 30 min. Growth conditions, live imaging and image analysis For live imaging, overnight cultures in appropriate culture medium (SC medium) were diluted 1:50 and grown for two generations. Cells were patched onto SC medium containing 2% agar. Cover slides were sealed with 1/3 vaseline, 1/3 lanoline and 1/3 paraffin (VaLaP). To depolymerize actin, latrunculin A was dissolved in DMSO at 30 µM and added to cells for 30 min. Exceptions were for cells used to generate gene maps, which were treated with latrunculin B (latrunculin B, Invitrogen Molecular Probes) dissolved in DMSO at 100 µM and incubated for 10 min. Control experiments were in the presence of the solvent. For LexA–Ino80 induction experiments, cells that had been grown in exponential phase in SC-Leu drop-out medium containing doxycycline (Dox) at 10 µg/ml, were washed once in SC-Leu drop-out medium without Dox and left to grow for 2 h. 3D images were captured as described previously (Therizols et al., 2010). Stacks with a slice spacing of 300 nm were taken at an acquisition time of 200 ms for each wavelength excitation. Powers of diode pumped solid-state laser (DPSSL) were 75% for 488-nm excitation and 100% for 560 nm. Images were analyzed with the nucloc software (Berger et al., 2008) modified to use the SPB as a nuclear landmark. All 3D distances were computed after correction for chromatic aberrations. Locus probability maps were generated using kernel density estimation, and contours corresponded to percentiles of cells (Therizols et al., 2010). When comparing two locus probability maps, a P-value was attributed for the null hypothesis that the probability densities were identical. For 2D locus tracking, cells were imaged for 100 ms at 100% for 488-nm excitation for the TetO/TetR–GFP insertions and 100 ms at 100% for 560-nm excitation for Spc29–mCherry with a Nikon fluorescence microscope (Camera Andor Neo sCMOS, software Andor IQ2 2.7.1, LED Lumencor Spectra X). At least 200 nuclei were tracked for 30 s. 2D locus trajectories were computed using an in-house ImageJ tracking plugin. The program located the locus and the center of the nucleus and corrected for the motion of the nucleus. The MSD values were computed using non-overlapping time intervals and fitted to power laws MSD=C×4Δtα using Matlab. To minimize statistical uncertainty, the fit was performed on the first third of the total duration of the experiment. Here, Δt is time interval, α is an exponent characterizing the motion (α=1 for normal diffusion, α<1 for subdiffusion) and C is a constant coefficient that corresponds to the diffusion coefficient for α=1. Because we consistently obtained α≈0.5, the power law with the exponent was fixed to 0.5 (MSD=C×4Δt0.5) to obtain C values with the same units. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching FRAP experiments were performed with an inverted confocal microscope UltraView ERS (26-01-08e). Samples were excited with a 488-nm laser at 100% for 800 ms. After recording five pre-bleach images, nuclei were bleached by the bleaching device at 488 nm at 100% for 50 ms. Post-bleaching images were taken every 10 s for 5 min. Nuclear drift was corrected by using the StackReg function in ImageJ, and fluorescence recovery was quantified using a Matlab program that computed: I norm (t)=(Ifrap(t) −I back(t))/Ifrap_pre, where I frap(t) is the intensity of the FRAP region at time t, Iback is the intensity of the background region, Inorm is the normalized intensity, Ifrap_pre is the pre-bleach intensity. DNA repair assay This assay was performed as described previously, using strain NA61-B8 (Agmon et al., 2013). This strain contains a 1.2-kb recipient cassette (KanMX::HO-cs) and a homologous donor cassette (KanMX::ClaI). The strain also contains a GAL-inducible HO endonuclease. Cells were grown in YPLac medium at 30°C to exponential phase. Cells were then centrifuged and incubated in 30 µM latrunculin A for 30 min or the equivalent volume of DMSO when 2% galactose was added. Subsequently, cells were diluted in YPGal medium, and samples were taken every 30 min for semi-quantitative PCR analysis with primers against Tel13R (Agmon et al., 2013). Control PCR analyses were performed using primers for the gene CSM4. After electrophoresis, bands were quantified using ImageJ. Generation of 3C libraries and generation of contact matrices 3C libraries were prepared as described previously by Marie-Nelly et al. (2014). Cells that had been treated with 30 µM latrunculin A or DMSO were subjected to crosslinking with 3% formaldehyde for 30 min. 3C libraries were sheared after digestion with DpnII, and fragments of 400–800 bp were sequenced using 100-bp pair-end sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq2000. Genome-wide 3C matrices were built with bins of 1 restriction fragment and normalized with Sequential Component Normalization after filtering of non-relevant events for 3D information and removing poor interacting bins. Specific subtelomere matrices were constructed by taking 100 bins, representing about 35 kb, for each subtelomeric region. Each interaction between two different subtelomeric regions is the average of interaction scores between the bins belonging to two subtelomeric regions resulting in a 32×32 matrix. For each pair of vectors i,j, the (i,i) and (j,j) elements were set to zero and the (i,j) and (j,i) elements were positioned so that both vectors had the same order in the interactions. The correlation matrix was calculated by taking the Pearson coefficient between each pair of vectors using the cor function of R with complete method. Subtelomeres were divided into three groups according to the size of the chromosome arm. The matrix representing interactions of the three different categories was obtained by calculating the average of elements of the correlation matrix between each group. To generate the plot of interactions along the subtelomeric region, genome-wide 3C matrices were built and normalized to represent the interactions between subtelomeres along this region, comprising the first 20 or the last 20 bins of each chromosome (representing about 35 kb). 3C matrices were built as described above, except that bins of five restriction fragments were used. For each bin inside a subtelomeric region, the interaction score was the average of the interactions with the bins from other subtelomeres. The final signal is the average of all subtelomeric regions. For the random set, an equal number of bins were chosen at random in the genome.

You must remember that in these mountains we have never been conquered by foreign governments. The Roman Empire claimed to have overpowered Albania, it is true, as later the Turks did, but neither Rome nor Constantinople was able to send its government into these mountains. – The Bishop of Pultit, quoted by Rose Wilder Lane, from The Peaks of Shala (1923) A (highly subjective) History of Albania in General Albanian heritage is generally traced back to the ancient Illyrians. Back when Herodotus was writing, the Illyrians were your run of the mill, fiercely independent local people. Perhaps fiercer than most, as they ended up taking on the Romans (mostly through actions piratical) and not unpredictably, losing. The Romans gained their first foothold on the other side of the Adriatic when they defeated Queen Teuta in 108 BC, finally conquering the Illyrians altogether in 168 BC when they defeated King Genti at the stronghold of Rozafa Castle, which nonetheless still stands, 2000 years later, outside of modern Shkodra. Notably, the strength of this root in ancient culture lives on in the Albanian language (or ‘shqip,’ as they themselves name it) which is one of those peculiar indo-european languages which bears little resemblance to any other living language, and which can only reliably be said to be related to Thracian, which, as far as I know, hasn’t been spoken for Quite Some Time. The Roman period seems to have been good for Albania (which is what the Romans dubbed it). Some pretty fine roads were built, including the Via Egnatia, a grandly-conceived raised stone walkway beginning in modern Durresi, connecting the Albanian coast with inland Grecian Thessalonica, which can still be walked in a pleasantly crumbly way today according to Jason Goodwin. Famous Roman visitors included Julius Caesar, Octavian (later the Emperor Augustus), and some random friend of Cicero’s who lived (t)here. After the Roman empire split (around 395AD), Albania fell under the aegis of Constantinople, thus ultimately becoming part of Byzantium. Thereafter things get a bit hazy in my mind: Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Bulgarians – who didn’t tramp across Albania? The Byzantine Emperor Justinian refortified Dyrrachium (our modern Durresi) and Tirana somewhere in the 6th Century AD. Didn’t stop the Bulgarians. In 1018, the Byzantines reconquered. Plif. The Normans under Robert Guiscard took it from Vlora in 1081. Enter the Venetians, who aided the Byzantines to take the whole sausage back in 1083, in return for certain outrageous favors (of course). Then there’s a whole bunch of even more chaotic, crusade driven to-and-fro for 300 years. Bah! Sicilians! Byzantines! Angevins! Double-bah! Get to the 14th Century, when the next most significant invasion (from the perspective of modern history) happened: Albania gets invaded by the Serbs, under the great Serbian king, Stefan Dusan. Somehow, under the chaotic conquering of the Serbs, the more-or-less modern form of Albanian cultural self-government took shape. To wit, strong local family rulers, fiercely governing their own particular balliwicks. When Dusan died in 1355, this network of independence is what remained to characterize ‘modern’ Albania. What happens next? The Ottoman Turks arrive. This gets a bit complicated. The Ottomans were invading the Balkans at the same time as they were laying siege to Constantinople. The great and famous, history-scarring and Balkan-forming battle of the Field of Blackbirds happened around this time. In Albania, the Ottomans encountered possibly the most significant figure of Albanian history: Skanderbeg. Okay: Who is Skanderbeg? Considering that he lived and died in the 15th century, it’s amazing that he’s still so living and prevalent in modern Albania. He is possibly one of the only human beings I feel simultaneously actively fond and terrified of. Gjeogj Kastrioti was the child of a traditional Albanian family of overlords based at the fortress of Kruja, also still standing, and vastly visible, an hour to the northwest of modern Tirana. He was taken as a child by the Ottomans and raised to be a peerless fighter. As he was a very good warrior (and coincidentally enormous), he was given the honorific name of “Skander” (after Iskander, or Alexander, the Great), such name being further appended with the honorary Bey or -beg. Hence: Skanderbeg. The Serbian holdings being testy and generally rebellious, the Ottomans sent troops under Skanderbeg back to the Balkans. Big mistake. Skanderbeg was no sooner back on home territory, than he raised the flag of rebellion and proved himself singularly capable of uniting the quarrelsome Albanian over-and-warlords. So much so that under his leadership, the Albanians held off an unprecidented 14 invasions by the Ottoman Turks. All of this was more than 500 years ago. Imagine, if you will, the pride that modern Albanians still have in this remarkable man. In 2009, standing about on the deck of a ferry traveling from Bari to Durresi, I met an amiable Albanian man, who delighted in quoting to me Gjeorgj Kastrioti’s height to an inch, the weight of his shield, the weight of his sword and the stunning weight of his helmet, all of which I’ve now forgotten in exactitude, but remember precisely in terms of admiring horror. Not to mention the fact that I drove past, as almost everyone on the main road to Tirana must, the Corinthian temple where Skanderbeg’s helmet (goat-headed and stag-horned) and massive sword lie to this day, visible across a wide valley, open to both the elements, and the admiration of all. He was a fearsome man, a mighty warrior, a desperate optimist, a great uniter of men and a noble figure. He died. And everything fell apart in his wake. The Ottomans conquered Albania. Overall, the Albanians didn’t fare so badly. Typically big, strong, and fearsome, they were good at being invaluable to their Ottoman overlords. Under the Ottoman law of devshirme, Albanian families gave up one of their sons to Ottoman service, and these children not infrequently rose to eminence. Ottoman rule is punctuated with Albanian warriors, leaders and viziers. Most remarkable perhaps is that given 500 years of this sort of thing, Albanians never lost their independence, sense of self, or autonomy. But go on, it doesn’t end there. What happens next? The tumultuous 20th Century, of course. – About Journey to Valbona – Contact Us – Archive (Old JTV) Want to help us with our organisation to protect the area of Valbona?

We support our LGBT+ users and staff, and we stand against any person or group that would see them further marginalized. This includes the current U.S. administration, and its recent capricious declaration that transgender troops will no longer be able to serve in the military. That this announcement was motivated in part to help fund the border wallexposes it as part of the administration’s cynical, discriminatory agenda.

Both of his previous miniatures Kickstarter's have been fantastic. This guy has talent. I won't rehash all of the details of the previous campaigns here, but here are links to my review of Delvers Lost in the Dungeons of Doom I and to a preview that I did for Delvers Lost in the Dungeons of Doom II. Those will give you a lot more detail, but just let me say that Darcy makes some great miniatures, and both previous Kickstarters have been right on time. These are excellent miniatures for any fantasy game, but I particularly love them for Dungeon Crawl Classics. If +Goodman Games is ever planning on doing an official line of DCC miniatures, then +Darcy Perry is the guy that they should look to for the sculpting! I mean, just look at these miniatures: Miniatures from the first Kickstarter Miniatures from the second Kickstarter Oh, and did I mention the Beholder with an optional party hat? Or the Dragon? Yes, if funding reaches $10k NZ, there will be a dragon add-on available... Also, there is a pledge option of around $370 US where he will sculpt a custom miniature for you! That pledge level is limited, and there are only 3 left. If someone doesn't claim those last slots, I may need to scrape together some more cash and subject my gaming group to a Skullsword miniature. ;-) Let's be honest guys. Nobody wants to see that, so hurry up and get on board while there is still time! PS: Here are some more photos that I took of miniatures from the second Kickstarter.

Posted by jrl755 at 2:13 PM No comments: Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to Pinterest Labels: Miniatures Monday, Miniatures Painting Thursday, May 25, 2017 Star Wars Turns 40 Wow. It's hard for me to believe that Star Wars is 40 years old today. I was 7 1/2 when it was released, and I was already a fan of science fiction and fantasy films. I loved the Buster Crabbe Flash Gordon serials that our CBS affiliate would run as filler for movies that didn't cover their entire time slot. I watched Star Trek reruns on Sunday afternoons, because football was boring. I was glued to the TV on Saturday afternoons to watch hokey sci-fi films from the 1950s. Monsters in rubber suits and ray guns that fired sparks were kind of my thing, but none of that prepared me for what I saw when my parents took me to see Star Wars. It was awe inspiring. I'd never seen anything like it before. My imagination didn't need to fill in the blanks created by poor special effect and black and white film stock. It was all there on the screen, and it looked real! As great as the film was, there was still another surprise waiting for us in the autumn of that year. The toys. My friend Keith had pre-ordered the first set of action figures, and I remember him brining them in to school in second grade. They were the coolest toys ever, but of course, nobody wanted to get stuck with the droids! :-) My own collection of toys started soon after. I had 4 Boba Fetts from sending in proof of purchase labels from other action figures. I had an X-Wing and lost the clear canopy somewhere. I had Darth Vader's tie fighter, and like everyone else, I struggled to keep its wings on. I had the Death Star, and I can't count the number of times that Boba Fett and his three clones shoved farm boy Luke into that trash compactor. I spent hours recreating the movies and making up my own Star Wars stories. Those were great times, indeed. More films followed. The Empire Strikes Back was a thing of beauty, even better than the original. Return of the Jedi was a little bit of a letdown though. I was almost 14 by that time, and the Ewoks just weren't cool to me. Star Wars had begun to lose a bit of its magic I guess as I got older. Other things were just cooler to a teenager I guess, but fortunately, that didn't last. Somewhere along the line, in college, I managed to recapture what I loved about Star Wars, and I'm a fan to this day. I doubt that many people would have predicted that 40 years later we would still be getting new Star Wars films, or that there would still be Star Wars action figures on my desk. The later films of course have been a mixed bag, some good, some less so. But when I hear that John Williams score, I'm reminded that even a so-so Star Wars film is still Star Wars. Happy Birthday Star Wars! Posted by jrl755 at 6:52 AM No comments: Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to Pinterest Labels: Star Wars Tuesday, May 23, 2017 R.I.P.

Ratmen are usually kind of pushovers, but this guy seems to be carrying a hill giant femur as a weapon, so I'm not sure that I'd mess with him. The sculpt is by Ben Siens from Reaper Miniatures and is 02761: Skrattle, Giant Ratman. Its still available from Reaper for just $7.99.

Though rooted to the stone floor, its flailing tentacles and gaping maw allow it to make a meal of anything unlucky enough to wander within its grasp. The figure is from Reaper Miniatures 2658: Stone Lurker ($9.99) sculpted by Bob Olley. I'm not overly happy with the way that the eye turned out. I think that I need to rework that a bit. Its been a few weeks since my last Miniatures Monday post. This isn't because I haven't been painting, but rather because I haven't been photographing my work as regularly. With the weather improving, I'm hoping to increase my output a bit.

I really love the art style used in the application. It sort of reminds me of the board icons from the Avalon Hill version of Titan. I'm a real sucker for hand drawn things. So far, the beta of Hex Kit seems pretty darned stable. A couple of minor bugs such as duplicate icons being placed in adjacent hexes, but that may be something that I'm doing wrong. It seems to be able to handle maps up to 999 x999 hexes, which is way bigger than I would ever use, so it should cover the needs of most people. In any case, based on what I'm seeing so far, the release version is going to be awesome.

For this week's Miniatures Monday, we continue the recent monster theme with several photos of this giant spider. I've always found giant spiders to be particularly horrific, and I honestly didn't expected to ever finish this figure. It's 03049: Huge Spider from Reaper Miniatures and is still available for $17.99. I bought this one years ago and it requires a bit of assembly. Each pair of legs is separate, and it took a bit of trial and error to get them in the right order. I love the end result, but it does have one drawback. It has no base. So, when used, the paint on the legs tips tends to chip off. :-( To remedy that situation, I decided to make my own base for it. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, but integrating a base with the figure does limit it a bit. I guess now it's a desert spider. So, what do all of you think? Base or no base? I'm really still on the fence about it.

Here are a couple of photos of a rather angry looking Cyclops. It's not a particularly large Cyclops, but that spiked club could really do some damage. The figure is from Reaper Miniatures and is 02953: Cyclops. You can get your own for only $5.99 U.S. Posted by jrl755 at 8:54 PM No comments: Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to Pinterest Labels: Miniatures Monday, Miniatures Painting Monday, February 20, 2017 Miniatures Monday Miniatures Monday returns with three photos of a Half-Ogre Adventurer. I made some recent touchups to this guy, but overall I'm pretty happy with how he turned out. On a figure of this size, eyes become even more important to the final result, so I'm glad that I fixed them on this guy. The figure is from Reaper, 02966: Gorevane, Half Ogre Fighter, and it's still available at their online store for $8.99. An interesting thing about this figure is that it came in two parts, but the second part was just the sword on his back, making the main figure a somewhat unusually large cast. Fearsome From the Front That's an interesting way to carry a sword... I wouldn't want to get in his way.

Well, we've got a hands on review with 3 of the miniatures! On 15 January I finally got around to posting my review of the first Delvers Lost in the Dungeons of Doom Kickstarter. Tow days later the second Kickstarter Launched! Today, I received three preview miniatures in the mail to review. So, I'm going to review these guys, but don't forget, if you like them get over to Kickstarter and pledge before the campaign ends! Full disclosure, these miniatures were provided to me to review free of charge. I have no involvement in the Kickstarter, nor with Starhat Miniatures. The opinions in this review are mine alone. I'd also like to apologize for the quality of the photos, as I had a hard time getting the lighting right for photographing unpainted miniatures. Now that we have all of that out of the way, let's get started! Just like the previous releases, these miniatures are SOLID. They have great heft in your hand and wonderful bases to prevent tipping. This is what I've come to expect from Starhat Miniatures, so while it's not unexpected, it's something that I really appreciate. The first miniature that we are going to look at is Vok Whightkicker. He's a goblin mage with a toad familiar. His staff is topped with a human skull, so don't mess around with Vok. He's got some groovy feathers in his hat too for added style. I really like the position of the toad, as it looks like he's whispering secrets to old Vok. Let's turn him around and see the other side. Here we see a belt pouch and a dagger with a skull pommel. I'm a sucker for skulls. We can also see the feather in Vok's cap a bit better. Next up we have Ailgavart the Ensorceller. This guy looks like he may have started his career as an assassin, but turned to magic later. His eyepatch is adorned with an image of an eye and perhaps it acts as a means of magical sight. His staff is no mere conjurer's staff, but rather looks as if it could double as a small pole-axe topped with a magical orb. The fingers of his left hand appear to be making the motions of a spell, or maybe it's a wizard gang sign. "Wizards only, fools!" Either way, it's awesome. From the back, we can see that he's carrying a quiver of arrows and a short bow. No doubt so that he can continue to rain damage upon his foes while his spells recharge. And finally, we have Saetog the Sorcerer. Saetog's got a fireball in his right hand ready to fling at his foes, while in his left, he wields a pretty mean looking staff. I haven't decided what's on top of the staff, but I'm thinking that it's got lenses in it for focusing various spells. He's also got a scroll tube attached to his belt, where he no doubt keeps his backup spells. To me, these miniatures have a wonderfully old school and whimsical feel to them, but with more modern sculpting. I loved the old Grenadier gold box sets from the late 1970s because those miniatures evoked a sense of wonder in me, and that's the same sense that I get from these. These aren't the boring same-old same-old, but rather represent one sculptor's unique vision. They have tons of character about them and feel like great sculpts of the types of character you might have expected to see at an RPG table in the late 70s where somebody was playing a goblin wizard, just because it sounded cool! As of today, there are still 7 days left in the Kickstarter, so I would really suggest heading over and taking a look! I'm really looking forward to Kroag when this set ships.

We started, of course, with 3d6 in order, letting the fates decide what type of characters we would play. We quickly moved to 3d6, arrange them as we wished, in order to give ourselves the ability to make character whose stats better matched the classes that we wanted to play. We tried the approach of rolling up 6 characters apiece with 3d6 in order and then choosing the one that we liked the best. Later, we moved on to 4d6 drop the lowest. We even experimented with 2d6 + 6 in our real power gaming days. These days though, I like to use a slightly different approach. I have players roll up two characters with 3d6 in order, and then allow them to swap one score from one of the characters with any one score of the other character. This allows them the opportunity to get the prime requite that they want for at least one of their characters, while still allowing fate to play a role. The caveat here is that they must equip both characters, and choose one to be their starting character and the other to be their replacement character should the first die under unfortunate circumstances (as characters are wont to do at first level). Example: Character 1: STR: 11 INT: 9 WIS: 9 DEX: 11 CON: 10 CHR: 17 Character 2: STR: 10 INT: 8 WIS: 12 DEX: 11 CON: 14 CHR: 9 The 17 in the first character's charisma is a prime target for moving, so lets say that we swap that with the strength score of the second character, ending up with one character who would make a good fighter and another who would make a good torchbearer. :-) Torchbearer: STR: 11 INT: 9 WIS: 9 DEX: 11 CON: 10 CHR: 10 Fighter: STR: 17 INT: 8 WIS: 12 DEX: 11 CON: 14 CHR: 9 I think that this presents an interesting dilemma for the player. Do you go with your best character first, or do you test the dungeon with your lesser character, expecting him or her to die and allowing you to trade up? We've had many instances where a player took their best character first and sadly wound up playing the other after the first encounter. We've also had at least one instance where the player took an obviously inferior character as their first, and through incredible luck they ended up surviving and never getting around to using the character with better stats. So what about everyone else? Do you have a method of character generation that you prefer which you think is a bit off the wall but works for you?

I finally got around to hanging my 2017 Frazetta calendar! :-) I actually didn't realize that they'd started doing these again. Twelve months of Frazetta!

The miniature is Thrud the Barbarian for those who aren't familiar with Carl Critchlow's work. This figure came from the Carl Critchlow special set for Zombicide Black Plague. I really like the sculpt, but am sad that it's plastic rather than metal. Speaking of metal, long time followers may recall that this isn't the first Thrud minature that I've painted. Way back when (2012), I did a step by step series on painting one of the old U.K. metal versions. You can see the result of that endeavor in the final post of that series here. I think that this one turned out a bit better than the first, but I had a bit of trouble getting the lighting right. :-) If you like the miniature, you can get your own from Amazon here.

Howard at 111 On this day, in 1906, Robert E. Howard, arguably the father of sword and sorcery fiction, was born in Peaster Texas. It still amazes me that even though he died at the age of 30, he had such a profound effect on the fantasy genre, and on roleplaying games. I drink a toast to his shade and to the dream of what he might have accomplished had he lived longer. May the fame that eluded him in life follow him into the next, and may all of those slain by the bloody hand of Conan stand as his honor guard in hell.

Howard, Sword & Sorcery Stabguy the Pantless: Diablo Redux (video) This morning, we played through the redone original Diablo levels on Diablo III, and we even managed to kill Diablo. It was a lot of fun even though it took me a bit of time to get used to the forced pixelization that they did to make it a more authentic retro experience. My barbarian made it through 15 levels before a pair of pants finally dropped for him. It became a running joke with our group, and I was kind of sad when a pair finally dropped. :-( All hail Stabguy the Pantless! Diablo remains after three iterations and many years, an extremely fun if somewhat mindless dungeon crawl. Here's a short video of part of our quest to give you a feel of the graphics. For those of you with Diablo III, the Diablo I levels are available in Adventure Mode through the end of January.

This week's weird adventure idea: On a wintry day you are confronted by a down on his luck swordsman near an ancient shrine. The swordsman tells you a rumor that 4 weeks ride to the east, Beneath The Ruined City of the Final Oracle lay The Labyrinthine Sewers of Tainted Dreams. Rumors say that there is hidden The Destructive Vanadium Stabbing Sword of Emasculation. The Swordsman tells you that he knows a buyer who will pay 10,000 gold coins for that sword. But beware, for the swordsman warns you that The Radiant Pain Maiden of Harm feasts upon those that dare enter those sewers!

The award provides undergraduate, graduate, and professional school students with financial support to develop fluency in less commonly taught languages (LCTLs) and expertise in the regions in which these languages are spoken. Every year the Center for Global Studies awards between 12-15 fellowships to UW students. Click here to learn more. I am a masters candidate in the School of Public Health on the Global Health general track. Over the last seven years, I have worked with a nonprofit alongside a village in rural central Uganda doing participatory community development. This hands-on work has woven itself into my academic journey through studies in Public Health and Medical Anthropology. I am focused on the interaction between historical trauma and structural violence on indigenous and local knowledge, as well as the role of indigenous and local knowledge in global health and development work. My research has evolved around emergent issues salient to the communities I work with, namely the relationships between food sovereignty and security, agriculture, gender, and maternal and child health. Moving forward, I seek to continue applied and community-driven work around mental health and addiction in low resource settings, particularly in East Africa. The FLAS Language fellowship has supported my working knowledge of the Kiswahili language, which enables me to work more closely with communities in many East African settings. I hope to use these skills to better understand constructs around emotion and mental health in East African culture, and adapt existing treatment programs to include local knowledge and meet local needs.

Gunning Fog, Flesch Reading Ease, and Flesch-Kincaid are reading level algorithms that can be helpful in determining how readable your content is. Reading level algorithms only provide a rough guide, as they tend to reward short sentences made up of short words. Whilst they're rough guides, they can give a useful indication as to whether you've pitched your content at the right level for your intended audience. [Back to the contents] Test the Readability of a Website Website address URI [Back to the contents] Interpreting the Results This service analyses the readability of all rendered content. Unfortunately, this will include navigation items, and other short items of content that do not make up the part of the page that is intended to be the subject of the readability test. These items are likely to skew the results. The difference will be minimal in situations where the copy content is much larger than the navigation items, but documents with little content but lots of navigation items will return results that aren't correct.

Reading Level Results Summary Value Total sentences 677 Total words 1221 Average words per Sentence 1.80 Words with 1 Syllable 576 Words with 2 Syllables 211 Words with 3 Syllables 146 Words with 4 or more Syllables 288 Percentage of word with three or more syllables 35.54% Average Syllables per Word 2.12 Gunning Fog Index 14.94 Flesch Reading Ease 25.69 Flesch-Kincaid Grade 10.12 Gunning-Fog Index The following is the algorithm to determine the Gunning-Fog index. Calculate the average number of words you use per sentence. Calculate the percentage of difficult words in the sample (words with three or more syllables). Add the totals together, and multiply the sum by 0.4. Algorithm: (average_words_sentence + number_words_three_syllables_plus) * 0.4 The result is your Gunning-Fog index, which is a rough measure of how many years of schooling it would take someone to understand the content. The lower the number, the more understandable the content will be to your visitors. Results over seventeen are reported as seventeen, where seventeen is considered post-graduate level. [Back to the contents] Flesch Reading Ease The following is the algorithm to determine the Flesch Reading Ease. Calculate the average number of words you use per sentence. Calculate the average number of syllables per word. Multiply the average number of syllables per word multiplied by 84.6 and subtract it from the average number of words multiplied by 1.015. Subtract the result from 206.835. Algorithm: 206.835 - (1.015 * average_words_sentence) - (84.6 * average_syllables_word) The result is an index number that rates the text on a 100-point scale. The higher the score, the easier it is to understand the document. Authors are encouraged to aim for a score of approximately 60 to 70. [Back to the contents] Flesch-Kincaid grade level The following is the algorithm to determine the Flesch-Kincaid grade level. Calculate the average number of words you use per sentence. Calculate the average number of syllables per word. Multiply the average number of words by 0.39 and add it to the average number of syllables per word multiplied by 11.8. Subtract 15.50 from the result. Algorithm: (0.39 * average_words_sentence) + (11.8 * average_syllables_word) - 15.9 The result is the Flesch-Kincaid grade level. Like the Gunning-Fog index, it is a rough measure of how many years of schooling it would take someone to understand the content. Negative results are reported as zero, and numbers over twelve are reported as twelve. [Back to the contents] Reading Level Algorithms Readability is the measure of how easy it is to read and comprehend a document. Readability tests were first developed in the 1920s in the United States. They are mathematical formulas, designed to determine the suitability of books for American students at a certain age, or grade level. Automating the process was intended to make it easier for tutors, librarians, and publishers to determine whether a book would be suitable for its intended audience. The formulas are based around the average words to a sentence, and the average syllables used per word. As such, they tend to reward short sentences made up of short words. Being mathematically based, readability tests are unable to determine the likelihood that the document is comprehensible, interesting, or enjoyable. It's possible to obtain good readability scores with gobbledygook, providing the content contains short sentences made up of monosyllabic words. We'll leave the question as to why the word "monosyllabic" has five syllables for another day. Layout and design are also important factors to the readability of a document that cannot be determined using readability tests. Documents aimed at a higher level may require background knowledge, which cannot be determined by the tests. For a document to be easily understood, the writing style should be clear and simple. This involves a writing style that is direct, and familiar to the intended reader. The structure of the document should be logical, unambiguous, and avoid redundant words. Many of these factors cannot be measured using readability tests. Instead, readability tests provide a prediction of the reading ease for a document. Sentence length and polysyllabic words do have a direct impact on the readability of documents, albeit a surface measure of the characteristics of the text. They provide an indication that the content may be too dense with a quantifiable measure. The results should be used in conjunction with good writing style guidelines.

A very warm welcome to my teeny, tiny part of the huge world of blogging. This is where I share my passion for making hand made greeting cards. So - why "Always with a Heart"? Well this is for two reasons. Firstly, it is because every card I produce carries a heart on it somewhere. This can be big and bold or small and almost hidden - the fun sometimes is just trying to find it! Secondly it is because I put my heart into everything I produce. I hope that any visitors enjoy seeing what I post. If you drop by then please leave me a comment so that I know you called. It would be nice to know that you have found my heart in what I do.

I have enjoyed watching the tennis and the ladies finals were today. Husband was happy as an Aussie girl won it. As for this last week, it has been a horrible few days. I was contacted on Tuesday from my niece to tell me that her Mum, my sister was blue lighted to the hospital. She has had a Stroke. I have put more details on my blog. I was very shocked to say the least. She is a carer for her husband who had a bad stroke a few years ago. She was also a carer for my eldest sister that has Alzheimer's and is now in a nursing home. Life is not fair!! Love and hugs, Carol XXXX 10 July 2021 at 22:19 Diane said... Lovely daisies, layers and design. Hugs diane 10 July 2021 at 23:49 craftycreationsbydebbie said...

How much time can you afford to spend on keeping your life up-to-date in a digital world? I’ve got a Minolta Dimage Scan Dual III slide/negative scanner and am working slowly (and painfully) through 30 years of photos plus to get them into my photo archive. That’s the past, but in the present there’s still all the work that needs to be done in using Photoshop Elements Organiser (v6) and making sure that the stuff is transferred from the camera (Sony Alpha 700) correctly, then organised into catalogues and more importantly stored on the new external Buffalo Drive (with its USB-linked auxilliary), connected to the BT Home Hub. [Backed-up of course using Acronis True Image s/w to another directly connected USB drive on Pegasus – the aging Dell workhorse in the den.] Then of course you need/want to share it with family so there’s the uploads to be dealt with – that’ll be Picassa, or might it be Facebook? Or should I really look into using Flickr which I dumped when Yahoo Photos was transferred upon acquisition – suppose I ought to sort that one out too! I could mount them on my own web-server of course, but … don’t go there! Managing the Internet Connection and configuring it to allow video-conferencing through to Australia is enough for the moment. So that’s another set of technologies to cope with – good job I know something about IT, or is that actually a disadvantage – you begin to wonder. The time it takes to work exactly how-to-do all of this, is then wasted unless you carefully document what it was you actually did, because when you’ve worked out what to do you then collapse back in exhaustion at the thought of the mountain you then have to climb to actually do the task! Which leads me to the current task in hand. A couple of years ago I purchased a Creative Soundblaster Audigy-2 NX external-USB connected sound card to transfer vinyl and tape cassette to digital. The actual transfer task takes long enough – but is pleasant because you can listen to long-forgotten favourites – but the actual effort expended, in understanding the new language you need to understand to work out what to do, is mind-blowing. Suffice to say, that now that I’ve worked out how-to-do it, I’ll slump back and realise that I can’t put off doing REAL work any longer, and get on with that! 🙂 Share this: Tweet WhatsApp More Pocket Email Print CategoriesEveryday Tags2008, IT, Technology, Work Your thoughts ...

Our News Contacts Clients' Funds Protection Careers FAQ Partnerships Partnerships Affiliates Introducing Broker (IB) IB Reward Program Multi Account Manager (MAM) Regional Representative White Label Payment Agent The Analytical Overview of the Main Currency Pairs on 2021.08.11 The EUR/USD currency pair Technical indicators of the currency pair: Prev Open: 1.1736 Prev Close: 1.1720 % chg. over the last day: -0.14% In Germany, ZEW economic sentiment index has sharply decreased to 40.4 in August (previous value - 63.3). The eurozone economic sentiment index also decreased from 61.2 to 42.7. With the dollar index strengthening, such a fundamental picture doesn’t have benefits for the euro currency. Trading recommendations Support levels: 1.1706, 1.1609 Resistance levels: 1.1754, 1.1799, 1.1817, 1.1854, 1.1894, 1.1934, 1.1969 From a technical point of view, the general trend on the EUR/USD currency pair is bearish. The price went below the moving average; the MACD indicator is in the oversold zone, but there are signs of a reversal in the form of divergence. There is also a slowdown in the rate of decline, which indicates a likely rebound in the near future, especially in the presence of a daily support level. Under such market conditions, it is better to look for the sell trades from the resistance levels, but after a slight upward correction since the price has deviated strongly from the middle line. Buy trades can only be considered throughout the day and only with confirmation in the form of a bullish initiative. Alternative scenario: if the price breaks through the 1.1854 resistance level and fixes above, the mid-term uptrend will likely resume. News feed for 2021.08.11: – US Consumer Price Index (m/m) at 15:30 (GMT+3); – US Core Consumer Price Index (m/m) at 15:30 (GMT+3); – US FOMC Member Bostic Speaks at 17:30 (GMT+3). The GBP/USD currency pair Technical indicators of the currency pair: Prev Open: 1.3844 Prev Close: 1.3838 % chg. over the last day: -0.04% The situation on the GBP/USD currency pair has not changed. The decline in the currency pair is associated with the strengthening of the dollar index. However, the British pound has gained a more stable position than the euro. The fundamental picture of the UK is now positive, so if there is any weakness in the dollar index, the British currency will continue to strengthen. Trading recommendations Support levels: 1.3825, 1.3772, 1.3714, 1.3676 ,1.3641, 1.3614, 1.3525 Resistance levels: 1.3886, 1.3935, 1.4002, 1.4075, 1.4101 The trend of the GBP/USD currency pair is bullish on the hourly time frame. The price has already reached a strong support level. The MACD indicator went into the negative zone, but there are signs of divergence. Under such market conditions, traders are better to look for the buy trades after buyers show initiative. Sell positions can be considered from the resistance levels within the local downward movement. Alternative scenario: if the price breaks through the 1.3714 support level and consolidates below, the bearish scenario is likely to resume. News feed for 2021.08.11: – US Consumer Price Index (m/m) at 15:30 (GMT+3); – US Core Consumer Price Index (m/m) at 15:30 (GMT+3). The USD/JPY currency pair Technical indicators of the currency pair: Prev Open: 110.24 Prev Close: 110.57 % chg. over the last day: +0.30% The USD/JPY currency pair is slowly and steadily growing due to the growth of the dollar index. The dollar index has grown to the highest level since mid-July, and taking into account the weak forecasts for the third quarter in Japan, such a fundamental picture plays in favour of the USD/JPY quotes growth. Trading recommendations Support levels: 110.56, 110.34, 109.88, 109.43, 109.19, 108.65 Resistance levels: 110.95, 111.48 The main trend on the USD/JPY currency pair is bullish. The MACD indicator is in the oversold zone, but there are signs of reversal in the form of divergence. Under such market conditions, it is better to look for the buy positions after a small pullback downwards because the price has strongly deviated from the moving average. Sell positions should be considered only on the lower time frames from the resistance level after sellers show initiative. Alternative scenario: if the price falls below 109.19, the uptrend is likely to be broken. News feed for 2021.08.11: – US Consumer Price Index (m/m) at 15:30 (GMT+3); – US Core Consumer Price Index (m/m) at 15:30 (GMT+3). The USD/CAD currency pair Technical indicators of the currency pair: Prev Open: 1.2575 Prev Close: 1.2518 % chg. over the last day: -0.46% The Canadian dollar is highly dependent on the dollar index and the oil price dynamics. The increase in oil prices caused the strengthening of the Canadian dollar and a decrease in the USD/CAD quotes. Today, the volatility on the USD/CAD currency pair will be high, because the quotes will be influenced by a lot of important news. Trading recommendations Support levels: 1.2518, 1.2471, 1.2425, 1.2370, 1.2312 Resistance levels: 1.2554, 1.2602, 1.2671, 1.2787, 1.2951 Considering technical analysis, the USD/CAD trend is bearish. The price is trading near the moving average, and the MACD indicator has become negative. Under such market conditions, it is better to look for the sell positions from the resistance levels. Traders should consider the buy positions from the support levels and only on intraday time frames. Alternative scenario: if the price breaks through the 1.2671 resistance level and fixes above, the uptrend is likely to be resumed.
