Gold (XAU/USD) - A Report Brought to You by Q8 Trade
Gold is one of the most important metals on earth. It is a precious metal because of its precious value and importance in our daily life.
In addition, it is one of the most important metals that play a pivotal role in the rate of the global economy and therefore has an important impact on monetary policies in many countries while it was used in ancient financial transactions instead of major currencies.
A brief history of the importance of gold
China ranks as the world's largest producer of precious metal, producing about 450 tonnes annually.
Gold is introduced into many industries and products such as jewelry thanks to its characteristic properties such as drag capacity, roads, electricity conduction, and corrosion resistance. It is also used in many applied industries especially in electronic fields.
The yellow metal was found in nature so people came to acquire it for its distinctive properties such as softness, ease of treatment and non-corrosion, and its scarcity, weight, and ability to form alloys. All of these factors raised the value of yellow metal over time.
It is located in its free form and also comes in the form of pieces of rocks in the rivers usually coming from the ground or in the silt or metal veins that rarely exist within the precious metal because they are trapped between layers of quartz.
The use of this metal or decorative purposes dates back to ancient times. In the 1980s, golden artifacts were found in the region of the Levant, dating back to the Bronze Age. Some 3,000 golden artifacts were found in the form of funerary attachments dating back to that era around the fourth millennium in a graveyard near Varna Necropolis in Bulgaria and this is the oldest golden assets in the European continent and found about 7000 golden artifacts in the area surrounding the Black Sea dating back to the period of Maykop civilization in the copper age as well.
Other ancient golden artifacts found in Central Europe and date back to the Bronze Age (around the 2nd millennium BC).
According to the data, about 75% of the supply of the precious yellow metal currently being traded has been extracted since 1910. According to the World Gold Council, the total amount extracted in the world is about 190 thousand tons and can be represented with a cube with a length of a side up to about 21 meters.
On the other hand, if the price of the trophy is about US$1.5, the total amount extracted is equivalent to about US$9 trillion.
How is the value of the yellow metal determined?
The global prices of the precious metal are determined as any other commodity in our daily lives, according to the rate of supply and demand, where the price of the metal is determined by trading in the market and the price is determined by a process called "gold price stabilization" first applied in 1919. This theory provides the markets with fixed prices until the process is reconciled with US markets while the price was fixed in 1968.
In 2005, the World Gold Council estimated the global supply at 3.859 tons while global demand was estimated at 3.754 tons with a surplus of about 105 tons.
And the price of the precious metal rose during 1980 remarkably where the price of an ounce then about $850 but it has fallen sharply with the end of that year for up to $252, and since 2001 the price of gold started rising at a fast pace to exceed about $850 an ounce when it reached its highest level in 2008 at $1023.50.
By the end of 2009, the precious metal rose to $1217.23 an ounce and it rose again in 2010 coinciding with the European debt crisis that prompted investors to buy physical ounces of the precious metal as one of the most important safe havens.
Gold continues to rise in 2011 coinciding with the Arab Spring crisis that hit the Middle East and North Africa region hitting a new record high of $1432.75 per ounce in March of that year. The price of the yellow metal soared significantly during that year to reach $1913.50 per ounce during August of the same year, the highest record value reached.
But it began to decline between 2012 and 2018 to settle at a level of between $1200 to $1300 an ounce.
What is makes gold interesting to trade?
Apart from the fact that this metal is very attractive and was used in financial transactions, it has no intrinsic value other than that shown by humans. It is used in some other fields such as electronics and electronic chips.
The yellow metal is still used in the manufacture of coins and the minting in Perth, Western Australia is one of the most important manufacturers of this type of currency.
These coins are not traded among people but are kept by those wishing to collect and acquire this type of currency.
In addition, about a quarter of the amount of gold extracted from the earth in history has been formed in the form of solid alloys designed to form a real wealth and remain in the vaults of banks where the United States holds in the coffers of banks most of the yellow bars in the world.
About 80% of the supply currently extracted is used in the jewelry industry. Although the United States holds the largest amount of gold bullion in its banks, most of it in the world jewelry today is in India.
Gold retains its luster because it is unaffected by water and air which is key to the corrosion of other metals such as iron. Gold foil is characterized by unusual properties including metal reaction with light. When it is converted into thin sheets, the metal becomes transparent.
In addition, it is resistant to bacteria so doctors use it to repair or replace damaged teeth. In the past few years, it has emerged as an ideal metal used to make parts implanted in the human body such as small wire tubes used to strengthen veins or arteries.
Is trading in the precious metal profitable?
Investment in the yellow metal is one of the most important trades in the world. The trade is available in many banks and platforms that can be dealt with in the import, sale and purchase of it through money markets, investment funds, mutual funds, and future. Gold can be stored and saved by forming gold bullion for investment purposes or expensive jewelry sold at the time of need.
Many investors and individuals around the world purchase it to invest in it by storing it in the form of gold bullion of different weight ranging from five grams and ending at a kilogram and it can be stored in the form of jewelry and gold jewelry for decoration but anyone who accepts investment in gold to pay attention to the operations of the monument and piracy that could be exposed to, which leads to the loss of a lot of money.
Despite the economic crises that have affected the world in recent times, which affected many commodities, the yellow metal is the only one that has not been affected and of course, it was not affected by those who put their wealth in investing in it. And because it is demand at all times and places, it is always a winning trade that drives investors especially to those who have been hit hard by the changes in the world of investment and trade. To accept to trade all their wealth or part of it to invest in the precious metal because it is a guaranteed trade, as a safe haven for many people around the world.
However, before deciding which currency pair you would like to trade, we highly encourage you to learn more about what would you get from the platform that you choose to trade with and what are the advantages you will be getting from choosing a certain platform over another.
What factors affect the performance and price of gold in the markets?
The price of the US dollar is one of the most important factors affecting the price of the precious metal, as in the case of the rise in the price of the dollar significantly fall immediately gold prices and vice versa, and this is because many people in the market are afraid of weak dollar resort to invest in gold bullion, as demand for the metal rises because people tend in the event of a devaluation of the dollar to hoard gold. And like any other commodity, gold is affected by the price of supply and demand.
World gold prices are also affected by the policies of China and India as the world's largest buyers of precious metal. For example, a decision was made in 2004 to give Chinese citizens the ownership of gold for the first time in history, which has played a role in influencing global gold prices worldwide. 2009 witnessed a 32% decline in the demand for gold and jewelry due to the global economic crisis which led to a decline in world prices but only slightly.
In addition, the monetary policies of central banks in inflation situations mainly affect global gold prices. Interest rates in banks remain low because people move away from investing in banknotes and turn to invest in gold in the hope of better returns. When banks give interest rates, gold prices are falling significantly.
The deterioration of the political situation, the sharp increase in oil prices after the Iraq war and the September 11 attacks have also been factors for its price movement. The decline in gold production in the last five years while the continuous increase in the world's population increases the demand for investment in gold bullion. There's also the natural desire of some people to acquire the metal.
What are the advantages of gold trading via CFDs?
CFD or contracts for difference is a contract between two main parties in any transaction, namely the seller and the buyer.
The value of the contract shall be based on the value of the underlying asset at the end of the contract or at the end of the transaction at the discretion of both parties. If the value of the underlying asset exceeds the price at which the transaction was initiated, the seller shall pay the difference between the current price of the asset and the agreed price. The buyer pays the difference between the base price of the asset and its current price.
CFDs are a powerful tool of financial trading where profit is possible through the movement of the value of the underlying asset. Purchases can be opened through a change in the value of the asset depending on many factors. The movement of contracts changes depending on the change in the value of the underlying asset and the change of the causative factors at the same time.
CFD is, however, the best instrument of financial trading and has many tools that distinguish it from others.
The contracts for the CFD, like any other contract, carry profit and loss when buying or selling assets but offers abundant opportunities for trading on the real assets as profit without owning them is actual ownership of the tool you want to work on the contract.
Example: If you want to buy 1,000 gold shares in a well-known global company such as Freeport-McMoRan, the world's largest gold and copper trading company, you pay 50% of the total value of these shares. The remaining part of the shares will be paid out. All these costs can be eliminated by buying CFD 1000 shares from the same company and you will not pay such money. All you will pay is to deposit a margin of up to 2.5% of the total value of the shares of the company.

Objective: We examined the process that South Asians undergo when managing their hypertension (HTN).
Method: Using grounded theory methods, 27 community-dwelling English-, Punjabi-, or Hindi-speaking South Asian participants (12 men and 15 women), who self-identified as having HTN were interviewed. Transcripts were analyzed using constant comparison.
Results: The core category was "fitting it in". First, the participants assessed their diagnosis and treatment primarily in the context of their current family/social environment. Participants who paid attention to their diagnosis either fully or partly embraced activities and attitudes associated with successful management of hypertension. However, those who did not attend to their diagnosis, identified other familial/social factors, stress of immigration, and not having symptoms of their disease as barriers. The longer the time since diagnosis of HTN, the more participants came to appropriately manage their HTN.
Conclusion: Healthcare providers may use this information to enhance their cultural understanding of how and why South Asians manage their HTN.
Keywords: South Asian, hypertension, grounded theory, health management

Carpets of Purple
by Nina Joan
New Farm Park, Brisbane
In October every year, New Farm Park in Brisbane comes alive in a glorious display of purple. The avenue through the park is aligned with a canopy of Jacarandas on either side. The leaves fall to the ground and creates a carpet of purple flowers. The jacarandas only blossom for a short time and invades the beautiful park with the powerful purple. I have always loved the display of colour in October, the sometimes dull and dreary streets come alive in with the colours of springtime and you can't help but feel alive too. If you are ever in Brisbane make sure you visit New Farm Park, located only a few minutes away from the CBD and the Brisbane River.It is truly one of the icons of Brisbane.

Defining Your Photographic Vision
July 30, 2016
If I asked you right now what your goal with your photography is, would you have an answer?
I've been thinking lately about what my motivations behind taking photos is for me. Sometimes I feel like it's nothing more than an impulse, taking pictures for pictures sake. Not even in an effort to document my experience of the moment, simply the physical action of taking the photo.
I don't think I'm the only one either. I think that more than a few of us have defaulted to going through the motions, creating beautiful images that are devoid of any heart, or meaning.
Not that there's anything wrong with beautiful images, but something inside is gnawing at me, whispering softly that it's not enough, that we could be aspiring to, if not outright achieving so much more through our work.
So what are we aiming for?
Photography has long been something of a pariah in the world of serious art, the newcomer on the scene that has yet to find it's place in the crowd. In a medium where the barriers to entry are practically nil, practically anyone can call themselves a photographer. And with digital images (arguably) becoming the default mode of conveyance for our images, we can all share our work with the world instantly, collecting likes, comments and followers on the way to a seriously inflated ego.
I don't think the fact that anyone can call themselves a photographer is necessarily the reason why photography still often feels like it's on the outside looking in to the world of serious artists and what their work stands for. I do think however that the ease with which we share our images and the visually polluted culture we live in might have something to do with it.
For example, no one would contend that painting is a serious form of art. Anyone can pick up a pencil or a set of paints and a sheet of paper or canvas. Just because anyone can draw or paint a scene doesn't mean anyone will consider them a painter or an artist, nor would they probably consider themselves one.
Now I'm (definitely) not a painter, but my guess is that when an aspiring painter finishes a new piece, she doesn't instantly upload it to five different social media platforms and wait for the thumbs up to fly.
I'm starting to think that one of the key factors that differentiates pros, real artists - of any craft - from the wannabes is the fact that the artists are striving for a grander vision with their work. The artist is aiming to move people, to evoke emotion, to affect change in society, bring people together, to tell a story that needs telling.
Maybe this is just grandiose thinking, but shouldn't this be something we as photographers should be striving for? I bet you the greatest of the great
photographers, if you asked them, were not content to simply capture the world around them for the sake of creating a beautiful photograph. I'm pretty sure there was an idea, a vision behind each and every one of their finished prints, and that vision probably ran throughout their collected work.
For the record I don't think that "satisfying our clients" is a valid vision for our work. I know we all need to do what we have to to make ends meet, keep the doors open and so on. And yes, I believe that if a client chooses to work with us it's our duty to provide them with the best results we're capable of, and giving them a positive, memorable experience, but I think at some point we need to cut out clients that don't contribute to our vision as artists.
I believe that our vision is what should draw people to us. The story we tell through our craft should be bigger than one client. Sure that client may be a unique and vital thread, but it should be part of a rich and cohesive tapestry of art that speaks to our view of the world, both as it is, and as we would like it to be.
Is it too much to ask to dream bigger? To set the bar higher? To aspire to more through our work?
Am I the only one who want's to change the world through my art?
I hope not.
So let's do it, set our sights for the stars as see where the journey takes us.
And hey, if we fall short, we're bound to come away with some pretty epic photographs.
What do you think? Can we as photographers change the world through our vision as artists and humans? How can we go about doing it? What do YOU hope to achieve through your work? Let me know in the comments.

Respecting and Honoring Life
by Nichole, Magical Marketing Millenial
November is one of my favorite months, but personally also one of the most tragic. It's a celebratory time of my birth and many other members in my family, but it is also one of heartbreaking loss. And this reminded me, especially in November, about honoring all life, including animal life. We all come from the Earth and we all go back to it.
If you've ever had a pet that you've loved you'll understand the heartbreak that comes with losing your companion. Raising animals for food, letting them live happily and peacefully, then humanely harvesting them bears a similar disposition. There's a cacophony of juxtaposed feelings. You feel happiness, sadness, love, discomfort, and more all at once. It is raw and real, like life.
Tara Couture, from @slowdownfarmstead, says it the best: "Something happens when we die. There is a moment when a spirit leaves. It's not obscure. You can feel it, watch it happen. Call it what you will. Attribute it to what you will. I call it real and I call it peace.
We approach the harvest of every animal with solemnity, responsibility, and the deepest of gratitude. There is sadness and there is joy. There is discomfort and there is celebration. It is, as all the toughest of things are, the full richness of being. We could relieve ourselves of the hard parts by avoiding them, but all that we gain would be forever lost, too. Ease and comfort are sometimes the most expensive things of all."
So, just remember, this holiday season, especially if it's a hard one, that the feelings of discomfort and celebration together are okay. These are often the hardest parts of life we have to face, but they are also the ones in which we grow the most.
P.S. Don't forget to support your local farmers, if you can, especially in regards to turkey and pigs. Those creatures lived far better lives than anything that was factory farmed.

"Thank you for all you've done. My family is so grateful, and we've told everyone we know how you helped us out." – Alex G., El Monte, CA
Flash flood warnings in Los Angeles County have become more common, but even before this, water damage was a real issue in the area. After all, water damage can come in many forms; burst pipes, slow leaks, sewer backups, and many other problems can cause flooding and water damage in the home. Homeowners insurance may be able to cover the damages, but it will rarely just pay the cost of repairs. This is where Alliance Public Adjusters can make the difference between a minuscule settlement and one that actually helps you repair your home.
As a city within Los Angeles County in California, El Monte has a population of more than 113,000 residents and is often known as the end of the Santa Fe trail. The community is situated between two rivers: the San Gabriel and the Rio Hondo. Its Mediterranean climate means that temperatures are fairly constant year-round.
Even with moderate temperatures, pipes can still burst. Corrosion can weaken a pipe wall or a joint; pipes that aren't properly secured can rattle and weaken joints over time; sudden increases in pressure can cause pipes to rupture.
And while malfunctioning pipes may be the most obvious sources of water damage, any place that water can pool will gradually damage walls, ceilings, floors, and more.
Homeowners insurance will cover many of these issues, but the average homeowner doesn't have the experience necessary to successfully navigate the claim and settlement process to get a fair settlement. That's where having Alliance Public Adjusters on your side can make a big difference.
At Alliance Public Adjusters, we work for you to complete insurance paperwork, document damage, get professional estimates that will hold weight with insurance companies, and work as advocates in your settlement process. Many insurance owners believe that their claims agent is going to find a fair settlement between the homeowner and the insurance policy. In fact, they work for the insurance company, and their job is to pay out as few claims as possible.
Your best chance of getting a fair settlement is to have all of your documentation in order and to have an advocate on your side every step of the way.
When you contact Alliance Public Adjusters, we will meet you at your site, whether it's a business or a resident. We will survey the damage, look over your policy information, and help you understand what the insurance company should be paying. We will fight for you until you receive a settlement that you are happy with. We receive no upfront fees; we only receive a small percentage of your claim settlement.
If you've experienced water damage in El Monte, reach out to Alliance Public Adjusters. We'll help you determine the best course of action to get your business up and running or get back to your life. Reach us through the contact form on our website or by phone 818-720-2366; we're ready to help you get the claim you deserve.

A Little Reunion - 1. A Little Reunion
"This is a terrible idea."
"We're just meeting with my old bunkmates."
"Correction: you are. I'll be at the 7-11 eating ice cream and fried chicken until you're done."
Miguel cast an exasperated look at Tristan. After 'The Incident', Tristan decidedly quit whatever job he had to focus on writing and was bunking and vlogging it up at Miguel's apartment. They shared rent, dinner, and responsibilities. But now, some of Miguel's friends were dropping by for a visit and some nights to themselves, and Tristan was reluctant to join them. "Tristan, they're not that bad. They're great guys. And this is just a pub."
"Miguel," Tristan similarly intoned, and wow, Tristan was a little shit when he was pissy. Miguel almost forgot about that. "What is there for me to talk about with them? I don't know anything about the military. I may as well be a bloody wallflower while you all catch up or something."
"It's just a bunch of discharged guys. Chill, will you? And we're getting to know each other, so just like meeting any stranger: basics."
"Basics," Tristan scoffed. "I don't think there was any improvement since that circuit party you dragged me to before you went on tour."
Miguel recalled seeing Tristan huddled to a corner of the bar nursing a full cup of rum and coke. Yeah, that memory was depressing.
"This is different. More relaxed. Trust me," Miguel assured him, but Tristan didn't budge one bit. "Tristan, please."
Tristan let out a long-suffering sigh. "Why can't I ever say no to you?"
"Goes both ways," Miguel murmured, but was smiling either way. "Just be yourself; you'll be fine."
"Shall I remind you of my bedroom?"
Miguel shuddered at the thought of that memory. It may have been a couple of weeks since 'The Incident', but it was enough of an image and a potential thought to run his blood cold. "That's not funny."
Tristan shrugged, not caring. "Sorry. My humor is hit and miss. Might as well shoot and see where it lands."
Tristan was being a little shit on purpose. Miguel wasn't letting him back out, however. And he knew Tristan would behave once they settled down.
Meeting with what amounted to Miguel's old team was interesting for Tristan. They reminded him of people who bullied him in high school and ignored him in college but with a look in their eyes that said they wisened up. When asked who he was, Tristan fumbled over the word 'friend' for a moment.
They sat at a booth just beside one of the windows and all had a beer. Save Tristan, who much to everyone's laughter, ordered a literal glass of milk. On the rocks.
"You sure he's over twenty, Miguel?" Robby, one of the bigger blonds in the group asked. "He's kinda small to begin with, then he orders the milk."
"Beer and whiskey aren't my thing," Tristan argued, not at all fazed; he's had this discussion before. "Plus, milk is awesome."
"Well, I like him," Jazz, a lady sporting a ponytail made from dreads, announced, ruffling his hair. "He reminds me of my brother. So good-natured."
"Yeah!" Will agreed, the smaller-but-still-big blond said around a mouthful of burger. "Heesh ador--bul Mi-. Wher- -ou ge- -im?"
Miguel made a face at his pig of a friend. "Bro, don't talk with your mouth full."
"Oh, that's what you told me last night."
Everyone choked on their drink, sputtering, coughing, snorting and laughing. They snapped their eyes to Tristan, who sipped at his milk.
Will was saving whatever remnants of burger was on the table. Jazz was cackling with the others while Miguel grinned. "Dude, I didn't think he knew sex jokes."
"What do I look like, four?" Tristan shot back, downing his drink. The milk moustache killed the serious look on his face. "I'll have you know there is nothing wrong with drinking someone's milk at a bar."
"This is going to go so badly," Jazz snickered. "Didn't think you'd know that kind of language, young'un."
"We're not that far apart in age," Tristan argued, leaning back into his seat, just the slightest bit tilted Miguel's way. "Otherwise, I can't regal the one time I turned tricks at the library."
"W-What?" Miguel sputtered, but Tristan shot back a wink. Miguel was caught between dumbfounded, impressed, and outraged. "Tristan, that was--"
"How Miguel and I first met," Tristan lied, blatantly. The entire table was crossed between believing him or not. "How about this? I tell a story, and try to piece together what isn't bullshit. Sound fun?"
Will rubbed his hands together, damp from whatever he spilled and eager to play. "Oh, this is so much more fun than our drinking games."
Tristan hunched over the table, fingers steepled like the little devil he was. "Then you'll get a kick out of this."
Miguel didn't think they could do three stories, but there it was. Tristan managed to whip out three half-baked, ridiculous stories laced with only a sliver of truth in little under an hour, each one detailed and entertaining, further exemplifying his creative imagination. Anyone who got their guess wrong had to drink a shot, and Tristan managed to get them all just a few drinks short of drunk.
Miguel was impressed, even as they settled the tab and noticed how Tristan had just finished his milk. He found his friend to be a continuous ray of light.
Tristan was beaming as he chatted up Jazz. The two were like long-lost siblings, having found each other after being decades apart. It was clear that Jazz was now fond of Tristan, and it wouldn't be long before she found him as someone worth keeping around.
They all filed out of the bar and headed for the playground, where they splayed out on the sand and the jungle gym to admire the stars, some of them falling asleep on the spot while others maintaining enough sobriety to talk.
Jazz was clearly a heavyweight. She only looked just a bit tipsy. But then again, she didn't chug down like the others did. Miguel was having trouble keeping his eyes open but he could still make sense of everything around him. Jazz and Tristan were talking more quietly than normal, but Miguel could make it out as he tried desperately not to conk out. "You must be really fun at parties."
"Not really," Tristan laughed. "I was just never invited. People don't think I'm fun just because I don't drink, and it was always something to make fun of. I stopped trying after the last circuit party Miguel dragged me in."
Jazz cooed apologetically while Miguel could barely hear Robby snicker from the bottom of the jungle gym. "He must have felt like shit."
"I left early. He only found out weeks later that I skipped out."
Jazz offered a wry smile in sympathy. "You sound bitter."
"Do I?" Tristan asked earnestly. He turned on his side as he faced Jazz. "Guess it's hard. I try so hard to fit in, but I don't, and it just frustrates me how it's so fine with everyone then give me hell for it when I don't. I got tired of standards. I think Miguel did, too, at some point."
"At some point?"
"He was frat boy material back then. Absolute fuckboy who flexed every chance he got. Only nicer," Tristan began, glancing over fondly at Miguel, who looked to be asleep, at least. But at this point, it didn't really matter. "Even back then, I loved him."
"Oh wow, you two?" Jazz asked, pleasantly surprised if her grin was anything to go by.
"He didn't mind me one bit, but his friends were another story." Tristan laid back down and stared at the stars, letting his fingers trace over old memories that played with the starlight. "I was either given the cold shoulder or messed around with because of it. I was keeping it under wraps, but when he found out, he went ballistic on them and spent a month trying to tell me that I was enough. Silly bastard."
"...Guess he loves you, too."
"Maybe, but... I don't know. There weren't any words."
"Do you need them?"
Tristan sat up to gesture more openly. "In my course, there's a thing called context. What is something for me may be something completely different for someone else. That often leads to misunderstandings."
"Don't you have a pretty good context of your best friend?"
Tristan met Jazz's eyes with a strange sense of finality. "I was there when he decided to enlist in the military. And I was just around here while he was there and no doubt keeping his troop alive with every fiber of his being, like the rest of you do. We've been years apart. How do I know I still hold so much value?"
"He came back for you, didn't he?"
"He came back for his family. I'm just a detour."
Jazz had a soft look in her eyes. Tristan watched as she sat up to level him with a look. "I don't think so. He talked about you a lot, you know. At base. Often said he had a friend always waiting for him, writing him letters."
Tristan sat up, huffing and stomping down a laugh. "Well, we were pen pals for a while. Eventually, we both wound up busy."
"I heard you two send each other letters and emails constantly."
"I was just there to answer back."
"It's still more than what some people get," Jazz argued. "Look, Tristan, half the time, he tells us you're the only reason he hasn't lost his mind yet. It was... bad, when we were out there. I was glad they even discharged him."
"And the rest of you?"
"Our psych evals didn't deem us fit to return to duty," Jazz muttered. "Not all of us, but a lot of us relied on Miguel. When he left, well, things just went downhill for a lot of us. I just couldn't seem to work well with my new squad and that put all of us at risk. Everyone else with us right now has it differently, but it basically amounts to us having a major breakdown."
Tristan was quiet as he considered that information. "I'm sorry."
"Don't be. We enlisted because we didn't really have much of a direction to go to. But I think I had some chance to think about it those last days after Miguel left. Not sure what made me think, but I did. And I guess some time with my own family will help clear up the details."
"You sound like you're still hunting down that path."
"Well, I know where I want to go now. Just need some help clearing up the details."
"It'll come to you," Tristan found himself promising, and he knew this to be a truth. "Just ring me up if you need a second opinion. I hear I help people come up with the best ideas."
"Well, you're pretty sharp. I don't doubt it."
They laid there for a while, just staring at stars. Miguel watched Tristan shift in his place before the smaller man decided to jump lithely off the jungle gym. Tristan made his way to him and pulled him up from his spot. "Come on, let's get your friends to their motel and we can go home and sleep."
"Actually, how about we all crash at Mig's place?" Jazz suggested. Miguel was overruled by three resounding votes. "Good! It's settled."
And that was how Tristan found himself helping Miguel sort out the sleeping arrangements in the living room. In all honesty, it was like arranging a sleepover for a bunch of kids. Some called dibs on the couch while others just laid on the floor with practiced ease. Even Miguel managed to finaggle himself close to the television. Tristan was about to head to his bed when he was gracelessly put into the armchair, for 'solidarity's sake'.
Miguel was by the foot of the armchair, looking up at him. "Comfy?" he asked his dear friend.
Tristan shrugged. "Been better, been worse," he answered, bringing a foot down to tap the man's shoulder. "There'll be hell to pay in the morning."
Miguel laughed softly, giving his friends one quick glance. "You were never a detour, Tristan."
It took a moment for Tristan to recognize what he meant. "A little hard to believe, but okay."
"Good night, Tristan." Miguel shuffled closer to Tristan's feet, even giving the toe a quick kiss. "Love you."
Tristan found himself smiling, stabbing his big toe on the man's cheek. "Love you, too, you goof."

Most younger NASCAR fans know Darrell Waltrip as one of the television voices of NASCAR and the guy who exclaims "Boogity, boogity, boogity!" at the start of each race on Fox. But back in 1989 he won a long-forgotten race that looked so amazing, NASCAR should bring it back.
In the fall of 1989, in association with the Goody's 500 at Martinsville Speedway in Martinsville, Virginia, some of the drivers participated in a go-kart race.
While many NASCAR drivers are no strangers to go-kart racing, this was a full-fledged go-kart race held on the Martinsville track. The race even used karts that looked like miniature NASCAR cars with the drivers heads sticking up out of the roof!
Unfortunately, all we have are 13 seconds of footage aired by Fox Sports 1 during a recent episode of "NASCAR Masters of the Clock."
It was fitting that the race was won by Waltrip, who grew up racing go-karts and was a short-track master in his career. Of his 84 career wins, 11 came at Martinsville, not including this go-kart race.
However, Waltrip did admit to some pre-race shenanigans with the engine device that regulates speed on a go-kart and that helped him win the race.
"I grew up racing go-karts," Waltrip told FS1. "I knew a little bit about them, so I kinda knew how to bypass the governor the go-kart had on it. And so, just before we got ready to race, I tweaked mine just a little bit and it seemed to really help."
Sure enough, there was Waltrip in his familiar orange and white Tide car finishing first and going around the track with the checkered flag.
It is unclear why this isn't still an annual tradition in NASCAR, but it would seem that Martinsville is one of the only tracks where it could be held.
At just a shade over a half-mile, Martinsville is the shortest track on the NASCAR circuit. If NASCAR tried to do something like this at Daytona, it would probably take 5-6 minutes to get around the 2.5-mile track just once, not to mention the karts probably wouldn't be able to handle the 31-degree banking in the turns.
NASCAR does have an annual go-kart race for a hand-full of drivers called The Little 600. But that is with more standard go-karts and on an actual go-kart track in front of a small crowd. It just doesn't seem as fun and it is often impossible to tell which driver is which.
But if NASCAR ever wanted to have something akin to the Home Run Derby or the Slam Dunk Contest, a go-kart race with miniature NASCAR cars on an actually NASCAR track should absolutely be at the top of the list.

Boy, 15, charged for bringing gun to South Kitsap school
A 15-year-old boy from South Kitsap pleaded not guilty in Kitsap County Superior Court on Friday to charges related to an incident at John Sedgwick Junior High School Thursday.
The boy was charged with second-degree unlawful possession of a firearm, a felony, and possession of a firearm or other dangerous weapon on school facilities, a misdemeanor.
The 15-year-old was arrested Thursday after a parent of another student called 911 to report that the boy was showing off the gun. A Kitsap County Sheriff's Office deputy found an unloaded 10mm semi-automatic handgun in the boy's backpack. Several students reported seeing the gun, but there were no reports of anyone being threatened with it.
Bail was set at $500 and another hearing was scheduled for 11 a.m. Monday.
It was at least the fifth time in the last year that Kitsap County students have been found with guns on school property.
Most recently, the region was stunned by the shooting of Amina Kocer-Bowman at Armin Jahr Elementary School in Bremerton. A 9-year-old classmate reportedly took a gun from the glove compartment of a vehicle belonging to his mother's boyfriend, then put it in his backpack. The gun reportedly fired accidentally, hitting Amina, when the boy put his backpack on his desk. Amina, 9, is still hospitalized at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
The boy from the Armin Jahr incident pleaded guilty to reckless endangerment and agreed to testify against his mother, Jamie Chaffin, who was charged with assault. The boy was sentenced to counseling and community service.
In November two boys, ages 16 and 15, were arrested after reports that one had brought a gun onto Central Kitsap and North Kitsap campuses and fired a round at Raab Park. Both were found guilty of unlawful possession of a firearm. One also was found guilty of theft of a firearm and for having a dangerous weapon at school. Both were sentenced to community service, and probation.
In October two 10-year-old Silverdale Elementary School boys were arrested when a .40 caliber semi-automatic handgun was confiscated from one of them. One was found guilty of theft of a firearm, second-degree unlawful possession of a firearm and a dangerous weapon at school charge. The other was found guilty of second-degree conspiracy to commit assault and for being an accomplice in the dangerous weapon charge. Both were sent sentenced to community service, probation and other conditions.
In April of last year police questioned an 11-year-old Bremerton boy after he allegedly brought an Airsoft gun to Crownhill Elementary School. A bus driver found the gun in the boy's backpack following a tip from another student. No charges were filed after the boy said he was planning to show the gun to a friend and his father said the gun did not work.
Chaffin and her boyfriend, Douglas Bauer, are the only adults charged in connection with any of those incidents.

|From property20070415
Oh my.
That WAS all I was going to say, but really, I should say more.
We visited a lot today that I really didn't have any expectations about. We were actually supposed to go look at another 300+ acres just a few hundred yards from here, that the owner was willing to divide, but first we visited the initial lot we had heard about. It was 47 acres of land that was really very affordable (because otherwise 47 acres would be out of our price range). The reason? A planned power line bisecting the lot diagonally. But after some discussion we agreed that, with 47 acres total to deal with, the planned lines and their easement would still leave tons of land available, without even needing to worry about giving birth to flipper babies.
Even so, from the photos we had it was easy to tell the land was sort of barren, not many trees. Loggers had cleared most of it back in 2000. I think Sarah was more excited than I was about this lot before we saw it, just because there was so much land so cheap. Also, a lack of trees is actually better for her plans, since it means, rather than needing to clear off a bunch of space, all we have to do is plant where we want. I wasn't terribly excited at the prospect, though, because I was hoping for at least some of it to be woodlands.
Well, forget all that. The property had more than one "oh my GOD" moment, things we weren't expecting or were so much more than we had expected. I don't think we had any conception of what 47 acres would look like. It's huge. We're still sort of curious about the western border of the property... by all the maps we have it appears to be the creek that runs along the western side, but we came across a marked line stretching across the property before we hit the stream. But the area around the line had been cleared (about a two foot wide line) and we haven't come across anything like that before. So we're beginning to think the line may be for the proposed power line.
And as far as the lack of trees goes, I was taught a valuable lesson when we got home, where the strong winds had knocked a huge tree into the house next door.
So, at any rate, we've got an appointment for a proper viewing next Wednesday. If that confirms what we believe, and assuming we can arrange the finances in time to nab it, this may be it.
EDIT: Sarah just got off the phone with someone in the Georgia Transmission office about the power lines. They will, unfortunately, be the giant metal 500-kilovolt lines. We were, however, right about those markers marking the location. So now we REALLY have to debate.

Photography by Shimano
When I was 16 and could only afford a bag of licorice, buying separate equipment for every discipline of racing was far from my mind. My SPD pedals and shoes did the job for everything (because they had to), and I never thought twice about what shoes to use since I only had one pair. But unlike my youth racing career, as gravel riding emerges into the race scene, so has the possibilities for gravel-specific equipment, and Shimano has now released a new RX8 shoe designed especially for the task.
The RX8 looks like a scaled-down version of Shimano's XC9 with the same carbon composite sole, but without any spike mounts.
But what does a gravel-specific shoe entail, you might ask?
Rather than beef up a road shoe, Shimano came in from opposite direction, scaling down the S-Phyre XC9 cross country shoe, which we reviewed earlier this month. Shimano focused on weight, eliminating unnecessary features to shave grams, but supposedly without sacrificing on-bike power transfer and overall comfort. The abrasion-resistant TPU lugs are more pared-down relative to the XC9, there's a smaller heel cup, and one of the Boa IP1 dials has been replaced with a simpler (and lighter) Velcro forefoot strap.
There's still a full-length carbon composite sole plate to keep things nice and stiff, though, and to circumvent smelly feet from hours in the shoes, Shimano also borrowed its Silvadur stay-fresh technology from its more premium models, adding the material to the insoles to keep bacteria at bay.
By making the heel cup smaller, replacing one of the Boa IP1 dials with a Velcro strap, and removing the spike mounts, the RX8s weigh 60-65g less than Shimano's XC9 and XC7 cross country race shoes, with a claimed weight of 265g.
The RX8 is available in black, with silver being available at select retailers. Men's shoes will come in sizes 40-50, and there will also be a women-specific version in sizes 36-43. Pricing is expected to be US$249 / AU$359.
And don't forget: if high-end, race performance isn't what you're after, Shimano's mid-range XC5 is also tailored toward the gravel crowd, but with a softer sole and uppers, and a more attainable price tag.

On Sunday January 19th just after 6pm, East Brandywine Fire Company along with an ambulance from Minquas Fire Company were dispatched to a residence on East Fisherville Rd in East Brandywine for a reported chimney fire.
Initial reports were that the fire was contained to the fireplace but smoke was beginning to fill up the 1st floor. East Brandywine Police arrived first and reported flames and sparks coming from the top of the chimney with a heavy smoke condition on the second floor of the residence.
Deputy and Assistant 49 arrived next and confirmed this report. Upon the arrival of Engines 49-2 & 49-5 along with Ladder 49 crews went into the residence to begin to investigate while the Ladder crew put the aerial to the roof and began to check on things from above. Crews on the interior used shovels and buckets to remove what was in the fire box. Once that task was done the roof crew began to drop chains down designed to break up any debris that may have been burning in the chimney.
This residence was built back in the 1700's and had a very small chimney and due to this made it hard to clear out all of the debris and be sure it wouldn't catch fire again. Due to that the decision was made to remove the entire fire box so it could be dumped outside. Once that was done crews on the roof were able to look down the chimney and see that everything was completely clear. Interior crews were still getting some high heat readings in the wall on the second floor and opened up the walls around the chimney to make sure no fire had extended into the walls of the structure.
Once everything was deemed to be clear the crews began to clean up and clear the scene. Members were on scene for a little over one hour.

I love this piece! Working in the industry I see many kinds of rigs and a lot are hype. This thing rips! It's super thick and smokes really smooth. I love the taster bowl for me but you will need a larger bowl for a group sesh.

Love my new pipe, solid build with super smooth hits. The one hitter bowl that comes with it is nice too, I use mine to take blunt or joint rips. The only thing that took some time was finding the right water level. Overall is great for the collection.

Birmingham development partners Galliard Homes and Apsley House Capital have achieved £70 million worth of sales at their flagship apartment scheme, Timber Yard.
Located on Pershore Street in central Birmingham, the scheme has seen high demand from local and international buyers which has prompted the early release of its final phase of apartments.
Upon completion in 2021, Timber Yard will provide 379 apartments, with starting prices from £194,995. Since the development's initial launch in November of 2018, 90% of the development's east block has sold out and 40% of the west block has also been sold.
Galliard and Apsley say that the sales success so far – 70% successfully forward sold – is a testament to the development's location in close proximity to China Town, Gay Village and Birmingham's city centre.
Buyers have also been impressed by the amenities on offer at Timber Yard, including concierge, a residents' private gym, a club lounge and a screening room.
This latest development comes at a time where Birmingham is undergoing a major regeneration programme, including the new HS2 line which will reduce the journey times to London by 40%, the city hosting the 2022 Commonwealth Games, the expansion of Midlands Metro Tram and the expansion of Birmingham City airport.
The West Midlands is also attractive to investors, with the five-year property growth forecast remaining strong.
The joint-venture partners also confirm that the construction of Timber Yard 'has made great progress' since the launch of the final phase. The concrete frame for both buildings is at roof level and the external brickwork and window installation is already commenced to the lower levels of the scheme's east block. Construction is scheduled to complete in Q4 2021.
Timber Yard is designed around a large central landscaped garden, bordered by two statement residential buildings – the 13-storey east block and the seven-storey west block. The development is designed by Claridge Architects, the studio specialising in contemporary design and architectural 'elegance and simplicity'.
Located in one of the city's most up-and-coming addresses, Timber Yard provides panoramic views from the upper floors of the Birmingham skyline, with the apartments having floor-to-ceiling windows and offering either balconies, terraces and winter gardens looking out onto the central landscaped garden or surrounding street scenes.
The studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments, including duplex residences, are complete with extensive basement car parking and an opulent reception foyer to provide residents with hotel-like services.
What's more, the location provides residents with access to a range of shops, restaurants and theatres, with the Hippodrome being just around the corner. The Chinese quarter's Asian restaurants, cafes and shops are nearby, and the sports clubs, art groups and cocktail bars of the Gay Village are minutes away.
David Galman, sales director at Galliard Homes, says: "The success of the final phase of sales at Timber Yard has been due to the fact that Galliard Homes and Apsley House Capital have created a development which provides not only an exceptional future investment opportunity but also the highest quality homes in Birmingham at affordable prices starting from £194,995. The success of the development cements the fact that Timber Yard will be an excellent addition to the Birmingham area."
Robin Norstrom, director at Apsley House Capital, adds: "The property growth in the West Midlands and the impressive five-year property forecast have combined to create a strong demand from both UK and international buyers which has led to fantastic results at the Timber Yard development, something that we expect will continue with Birmingham's regeneration."
Prices for the final phase of apartments start from £194,995 for a one-bedroom apartment. For further sales information, you can visit www.galliardhomes.com.
Galliard Homes has also launched TCRW, a landmark residential-led regeneration project fronting onto Oxford Street, and the Trilogy development in Borough.

CLUB captain GJ van Velze is set to play his 100th Worcester Warriors game at home to Wasps in the Gallagher Premiership today (3pm), writes Marcello Cossali-Francis.
The back row should seal his century of appearances in the blue and gold off the bench as Worcester look to bounce back from last week's European Challenge Cup defeat to Castres.
With Cornell du Preez set to join up with the Scotland Six Nations squad after the clash, van Velze will be poised to step up.
South African van Velze, 31, has featured in all eight Premiership games this season and is looking forward to making his landmark appearance.
"It's come around much quicker than I anticipated," he said.
"I'm excited but none of this would have been possible without all the support I've had.
"My wife deserves a lot of credit because she's been the one at home getting an earful.
"Obviously all the backroom staff at Warriors too. I've worked with some amazing people and if it wasn't for them I would not have been fit to play all these games."
Despite the achievement van Velze was keen to focus on the game in hand and said the team will use the opening hour of the match against Castres as motivation despite the end result.
"Last week we looked the best we have in a long time for 60 minutes," he said.
"I think we looked really dynamic with a lot of intent in attack and defence.
"If we can continue to do that for 80 minutes the result will come."
Wasps have struggled so far and sit two places below Warriors in ninth with just two wins in their eight Premiership matches.
Dai Young's team have just one win away from the Ricoh Arena in the league and were thrashed 27-0 at home last weekend by French Top 14 side Agen.
Van Velze continued: "They haven't had the best of starts to the Premiership but what's happened externally in the league this week (with Saracens relegated) has probably taken the pressure off them now.
"You can name a number of quality players so it'll be a tough challenge. They still are a quality outfit."
Warriors last played in the Premiership at the start of this month when they were heavily beaten by hosts Saracens but come into the weekend with just one home defeat in the league this campaign.


text: wackyserious 2.015 Posted April 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 If Angen's formation/battalion mod (or a similar feature) will be implemented, and as how wowgetoffyourcellphone stated, in the future we could be free to break the rigid player-color inclined unit texture design that is strictly being followed. And again, this throws back the question on whether the game should continue to associate itself with the AoE series. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The race is on!
On Tuesday, Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs was joined by a number of Oscar winners and nominees including Jennifer Hudson to announce this year's nominees.
The 2017 awards ceremony will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, taking over for Chris Rock, who hosted the ceremony last year amid the #OscarsSoWhite backlash. And, it seems Hollywood has finally taken steps in correcting its lack of diversity as the nominees for many of the major categories include actors of color.

It comes as no surprise after her stellar performance in Fences that Viola Davis received a Best Supporting Actress nod for her role as Rose Maxson, the under appreciated hardworking mother and wife who delivers one hell of a monologue in the film. Davis has been nominated for two Oscars, but has yet to take one home. This could be the year. Davis' costar Denzel Washington also landed a much-deserved nomination for Best Lead Actor with the film grabbing a nod for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Picture.
Moonlight, arguably the best film of the year, earned nominations for Best Picture, Best Editing, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Score, Best Cinematography, Best Film, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actor for Mahershala Ali's amazing performance.
I Am Not Your Negro, Ava DuVernay's 13th, and O.J.: Made In America landed nominations for Best Documentary Feature, while Naomie Harris and Octavia Spencer earned nominations for their roles in Moonlight and Hidden Figures, respectively. And, Ruth Negga earned a Best Lead Actress nomination for Loving.
The Academy Awards air Feb. 26 at 7p.m. on ABC.

We're partnering with various local outfits in July for a four-day programme of club nights, in-stores, radio shows and more.
Many of us have seen the headlines referring to Lisbon as "Europe's hot new art capital," but we don't often hear about the local artists who have helped build this lively and dynamic scene. For four days in July, we'll celebrate and collaborate with a selection of local crews, labels and collectives who are doing great things for all the right reasons.
RA: Lisa, named after the local slang term for Lisbon, follows on from last year's inaugural edition, RA LAX, in Los Angeles and will feature various events—talks, radio shows, club nights, in-stores—held at venues across the capital.
We kick off the series on Thursday, July 5th with a live broadcast at Lux Frágil, Lisbon's best-known club. Running from 5 PM through 9 PM, the laid-back session will feature four local acts easing us into the weekend with pyschedelic jams and an ambient soundtrack. On Friday, we head to the diggers favourite Flur Discos for an in-store with Nick Craddock, Sonja and more, before continuing the party at an unused warehouse space in collaboration with the local party mina. The lineup, which features a mix of locals and international guests, will be announced on the night.
Saturday's action-packed programme begins in the afternoon at the exhibition-space-turned-venue Zé dos Bois with Filho Único, the crew responsible for bringing Príncipe Discos to a global audience. Two live Exchanges—including one about the challenges of running events in Lisbon—will be followed by several live performances (John T. Gast, Niagara, Toda Matéria) and DJ sets (DJ Lycox, DJ Narciso). In addition, there will be a workshop with the acclaimed experimental composer Rafael Toral and an audiovisual space curated by RA Films.
For the weekend finale, we return to Village Underground Lisboa, the site of our November party. On Sunday, July 8th, we'll partner with Rádio Quântica, by many considered the beating heart of the local grassroots scene. Held from 5 PM through 8 PM, the live broadcast will include back-to-back sets from Violet and Photonz, and Caroline Lethô and Tombo, plus a live set from Bullion, who recently relocated to Lisbon.
Get full details on RA: Lisa in the event listings below, and head here for up-to-the-minute updates. Lisbon, see you front left.

I touched on this briefly the other day as I was so shocked at the number of children that go missing with nothing really done about it, you can read my post here. I suggested that maybe a picture of someone missing could be put at the beginning and end of all news programs over every channel worldwide!
I have had a few comments over my social networks and email with many of the bloggers and facilitators being more than happy to put a missing child on their website. Missing in Europe.
The figures are astounding and I am amazed that children can get so lost, especially when they first go missing but they very rarely make the news and children change in appearance as they grow. This is the time it is good if they have a birthmark that can be seen by others. With everybody's help lets see if we can find some of these children.

I chose my course because I have a keen interest in people's behaviour and interaction and will pursue a career focused on clients and working with vulnerable people in society. Studying Sociology has provided me with invaluable knowledge of the social world and skills I can use in a number of different job roles.
For my placement year I worked full time in a homeless centre in Central London. The experience I gained during this time was invaluable and I learnt so much during my time there.
My role was a full-time volunteer and worked very closely with the small team of support workers and staff there. I took on a lot whilst there and made use of my time. The centre provides primary support to rough sleepers such as a drop-in where clients can make use of the shower facilities, canteen and NHS services. As well as the basic services, we provided professional advice to clients and worked closely with outreach agencies such as JHT (working with clients with mental health issues) and HAART (working with high risk clients and offenders).
I took on a range of responsibilities such as working with the Fundraiser to raise awareness on social networking sites and helping to run groups such as Creative Writing, ICT and Art. I worked closely with the Project Workers and often took clients to appointments or helped them set up bank accounts or apply for ID at embassies. I also wrote CVs for many clients including people who spoke little English and helped them to get into work.
My work at the homeless centre was extremely rewarding. I got to live in Central London for a year and work with the most amazing people I've ever met. Every day was different and I combatted many different challenges. Working here helped me discover what field I wanted to go into after I graduate and helped me to realise my talents and strengths. It has given me both confidence and determination for when I enter the job market.
My favourite modules have been those concerning inequalities such as Race, Education and Health studies. They have given me insight into how inequalities such as race, class and gender impact on people in society and why they exist. Modules such as these helped me during placement as they provided me with a better understanding of the amount of issues vulnerable people face, the necessity of services and the importance of viewing people as individuals rather than as a group.
When I graduate I want to complete a Masters in Counselling and become a counsellor for vulnerable people. I have always wanted to help people but it was my course which has helped me to understand the issues different people face and my placement which has helped me to discover my strengths and how to use them in a positive way.
