Currency Futures Trading
Currency Futures trading involves the buying or selling of foreign exchange futures. Futures are contracts that have a date of expiry. Contracts are priced based on their current value at the specified date in the future. The pricing of FX futures is based on the interest rate differentials of the currency pair.
For example, Great Britain currently has a benchmark interest rate of 5.25% and the United States have a benchmark rate of 2.25%. Because of this interest rate differential, the longer the expiry the cheaper the contract. For retail spot forex traders, this difference in prices is similar to the swap you would earn for an open position.
At the time of writing these are the prices for GBP/USD (British Pound) Futures.
September '08 1.9774
December '08 1.9619
March '09 1.9489
June '09 1.9370
September '09 1.9251
As you can see, the further out the contract, the cheaper the price. If the British benchmark interest rate was lower than the United States, then the prices would get more expensive for longer contracts.
Futures contracts are traded in set sizes. The British Pound standard contract is for 62,500 GBP. They all have margin requirements. The currently margin requirement for a a 62,500 GBP British Pound futures contract are:
$2,700 initial margin
$2,000 maintenance margin
The initial margin is the amount of margin you must put up to open the contract and maintenance margin is the amount of margin required to keep the position open. Self explanatory really.
Day Trade Forex Futures
It is possible to day trade fx futures, but in many cases the spot forex market has many advantages for day trading currencies such as lower margin requirements and more flexible position sizes. The spot market is also more liquid.
Forex Futures Trading is traded on margin and can be very risky. Unlike retail spot forex brokers, losses in excess of your initial deposit can occur. This will usually result in a call from your broker asking for more margin. It is imperative that you fully understand the risks involved with currency futures trading before trading.
Foreign Currency Options
Foreign Currency Options are contracts that allow the currency speculator or hedge the opportunity to reduce their risks. A Foreign Currency Option is like a currency Future, except the trader has the option whether or not they want the contract on expiry. If the contract ended negative, clearly the trader would not want it. An options contract has a premium. The maximum loss when buying options contracts is limited to the premium.
Currency Call Option
A currency call option is when you are going long on a currency pair. You can buy or sell a currency call option. If you buy a currency call option, your maximum loss is the premium. If you sell the currency option, you take the other side of the contract, so the maximum profit is the premium, but the maximum losses is potentially unlimited.
Currency Put Option
A currency put option is when you are going short on a currency pair. Like call options traders can buy or sell put options.
Strike Price
The strike price is essentially the entry price. With Options you can select your own strike price. For example if the GBP/USD spot was at $1.98, you could buy a call option at $2. At expiry of the contract, your entry would be $2. Due to the fact that in this example the strike price is 200 away from the current spot price, the premium would reflect this difference. If a price lower than the spot price was selected, the premium would reflect this and be higher.
At the money
An at the money option is where the price of the contract is equal to the strike price
Out of the Money
An out of the money option is where the contract price is before the strike price. For example if a british pound call option strike price was $2 and the contract price was $1.98, the contract would be out of the money.
In the money
In the money is the opposite of out of the money. It is where the contract would have a value if the contract was closed at this point in time.
Option Pricing
The are many factors that go into making the price of an option. Most commonly the main factors are the length of time to expiry, the expected volatility in the period and how far in or out of the money the strike price is.
Forex Options Strategies
There are literally hundreds, possibly thousands of strategies that options traders use. Some of them are extremely complex. I will just introduce a few of the basic ones here:
Long Strangle
The long strange is where a call option and a put option are bought at the same time. This strategy can be used when you expect price action to be extremely volatile, but are unsure in which direction it will move. It allows the trader to potentially profit regardless of the direction the market moves. This is where a call and a put option are simultaneously bought. The most the trader can lose in this instance is the cost of the two premiums.
Bear Call Spread
A bear call spread is entered by buying call options at a at a specific strike price and selling the same number of options at a lower strike price. The same currency and same date of expiration must be used. This strategy has both a limited loss and a limited profit.
Forex Options Brokers
Forex Options and futures Brokers
Optionsexpress this broker offers both currency options and futures contracts
Saxobank This broker offers most intruments including stocks, spot forex, futures, options and CFDs
These are brokers I have personally tried and had a good experience with. They are by no means personal recommendations by fxtradingguide.com.
In conclusion trading online fx options involves risk. A good understanding is critical to success. Options can be a good way to trade currencies where the risk is limited regardless of how much the market moves against you.

Vietnam's benchmark VN Index gained for a fifth day on Tuesday, closing up 0.51 percent to scale a high of more than six years and boosted from buying in blue chips.
The index in Ho Chi Minh City, Southeast Asia's biggest gainer this year at 24 percent growth, reached 629.06 points at the close, its highest level since March 2008.
Property firm Vingroup led the climbers at 6.21 percent to 57,500 dong ($2.7), a record high close.

Foreigners have been net buyers of Vietnamese stocks for four straight sessions. They were net sellers between Aug. 5 and last Wednesday, exchange data showed.
Offloading of other blue chips kept the market from a stronger rise. Among them was PetroVietNam Gas , the biggest firm by market value, with a 0.81 percent retreat from its record close hit on Monday.

From bloomers to Golden Globes red carpet, a brief look at the history of protest fashion
Fashion, and clothes in general, have had a longstanding relationship with protests and revolutions
You may be forgiven for mistaking it for an elitist gesture. Or, on the other hand, for being completely on board with it. The all-black dress code at Sunday night's (7 January 2018) Golden Globe Awards had many detractors. After all, how much of an impact would a room full of rich people wearing expensive black dresses while dripping with million-dollar jewellery make, for the everyday women outside Hollywood? It's honestly okay to be on either side of the debate, as long as we acknowledge and fight for the cause — which in this case, is fighting against gender inequality, oppression, abuse, harassment, and injustice. And while some people couldn't reconcile the thought of the actresses and the media discussing fashion at all, when there's the larger and much graver #MeToo movement building around us, there were those that took heart in the overwhelming display of solidarity between the women and some men while also keeping the glitz, glamour, beauty, and (let's be honest) frivolousness of the fashion intact. Once again, it's okay to feel either way.
Fashion, and clothes in general, have had a longstanding relationship with protests and revolutions, and while the red carpet or the runway are obvious showcases for protest fashion, there are plenty of everyday men and women, over the decades (even centuries), who've used the clothing they wore and other sartorial choices to make protest statements. How many of them have been truly effective is a good question, and one that's a little bit harder to quantify. But one thing's for certain: human history is peppered with instances of clothing (fashionable and the regular conventional kind) being used as a form of protest, and it makes for a pretty interesting look at the way our history has shaped the culture of protest fashion and the way protest fashion, in turn, has made a mark on our collective consciousness.
Nineteenth Century Protest Fashion
What the Suffragists wore:
Know why a certain type of women's clothing worn as sleepwear, lingerie or loungewear is called "bloomers?" Long before French women used hats and accessories as a way to stand against Nazi occupation during WWII, there was a suffragist named Amelia Bloomer, who in the 1850s urged women to ditch their long skirts and dresses, and instead wear the loose and baggy "divided" skirts that were later referred to as bloomers. It's a bit surreal to imagine such a simple piece of clothing acting as protest fashion, taking on the patriarchal society of the times and the confining and oppressive garments of that period. But it did exactly that. "Bloomers" were named after Amelia Bloomer, and are pretty much the progenitor of modern jeans!
Twentieth Century Protest Fashion
Sandwich boards worn by humans:
If you thought sandwich boards were something that minimum-wage restaurant employees have to wear on a rotational basis, think again! The humble sandwich board has been used as protest clothing for ages. What began in 19th century London as a "human billboard" used for advertising, subsequently evolved into something that was worn at protests (most notably in British labor protests of the 1930s, where workers used sandwich board signs to express their discontent about subpar working conditions) and is still used at protests to this day.
American photographer Charles Harris' archive of of photos that he captured at various US protests using sandwich boards (including anti-segregation protests) is a remarkable chronicle of this rather peculiar-but-popular type of protest fashion.
Slogan t-shirts:
As the pioneer of t-shirts with political slogans, designer Katharine Hamnett's oversized t-shirts have became the focal point of her entire career, and while many of her designs/slogans created quite a stir (including the one that Naomi Campbell wore in 1993, that said "USE A CONDOM" across a sheer top or the "WORLDWIDE NUCLEAR BAN NOW" shirt that Roger Taylor of Queen wore at a music festival in Brazil), it's been her "CHOOSE LIFE" t-shirt (the one that George Michael famously wore in his video for 'Wake Me Up Before You Go Go') that's made the most controversial political statement. This slogan was, predictably, used by pro-life activists in the US, even though Hamnett herself supports women's right to choose and believes that "the US anti-abortion lobby attempted to appropriate her slogan, which was inspired by a Buddhist exhibit, and is meant to be a comment against war, death and destruction."
In 1984, she took her fashion statement beyond the runway and celebrity news stories by wearing her "58% DON'T WANT PERSHING" t-shirt to meet then-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher at Downing Street, in reference to "polls showing public opposition in the United Kingdom against the basing of Pershing missiles (a US short-range surface-to-surface ballistic missile, capable of carrying a nuclear or conventional warhead) in the country", and in 2003, models at her show in London wore t-shirts with the slogan "STOP WAR, BLAIR OUT", a reference to the UK's support of the US in the upcoming Iraq invasion and subsequent war.
Vivienne Westwood, who has always used her fashion to be an active political commentator and an avid campaigner for climate change, introduced a rather-gruesomely-pointed t-shirt that read "I AM NOT A TERRORIST - PLEASE DON'T ARREST ME", in 2005.
As recently as last year, Maria Grazia Chiuri's first collection for Dior featured t-shirts with the now-made-famous-by-Jennifer-Lawrence-and-Natalie-Portman-and-Rihanna slogan "We Should All Be Feminists" (originally the title of an essay by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie).
Going naked, to make a statement:
Even a lack of clothing can make a point, sometimes a bigger statement than clothes do. Besides designers like Vivienne Westwood, Stella McCartney and a few others, PETA has probably made the deepest dent in the anti-fur fashion market. Especially back in the early '90s, when they revolutionised this space by releasing an ad that featured some of the biggest supermodels of the time (including Naomi Campbell) naked and stating that "they'd rather go naked than wear fur", an ongoing campaign starring Alicia Silverstone, Pamela Anderson and many others and that has, according to PETA, brought down the use of fur to its lowest point in history.
The 20th also century had many other celebrated designers using their clothes to make massive political statements, including Alexander McQueen who, for his AW'95 show, created the Highland Rape collection, protesting against domestic abuse in the UK (his sister had suffered abuse in her marriage, and hence the cause was close to McQueen's heart). This collection was also meant to illustrate England's "rape" of Scotland, referring to the ethnic cleansing committed by the British army in the Scottish Highlands during the 18th and 19th centuries. It was a protest that was unfortunately misunderstood when it was first made, but which seems very poignant and necessary in hindsight.
Twenty-first Century Protest Fashion
In a lot of ways, protest fashion and clothing in the 21st century has followed in the footsteps of the earlier century, for e.g. the protest t-shirts made famous by designers at Dior and by Prabal Gurung, or even mass market ones like the "BLACK LIVES MATTER" t-shirts worn across the US or the handmade and homemade plain white t-shirts that said "MUSLIMS UNITED AGAINST TRUMP" written in permanent marker that were worn by pro-Muslim protesters who showed up to a Donald Trump rally in Chicago. Or even the the Occupy Wall Street slogan t-shirts that protesters wore at various protests in 2011 and 2012, with slogans highlighting the corruption of the top 1% of the nation's wealthiest people.
Nudity too is still often used as means of protest fashion, like at the SlutWalk, where massive groups of women took to the streets fully clothed, wearing underwear, or wearing nothing at all. The message of the SlutWalk stood out, possibly because of the completely non-gratuitous nudity involved: women own their own bodies and deserve to be respected despite what they wear, or don't wear. Protest slogans like "Never without my permission" or "Still not asking for it" were written across bare or almost-bare bodies of women of all sizes, shapes, and colour.
Protesting with a certain colour:
This year's Golden Globes may have been all-black, but black isn't necessarily the only colour of protest. The suffragists wore white to emphasise purity back in the 19th century, and in 2004-05, Ukraine experienced the Orange Revolution, "a series of protests and political events that took place in Ukraine in the immediate aftermath of the run-off vote of the 2004 Ukrainian presidential election, which was claimed to be marred by massive corruption, voter intimidation and direct electoral fraud." The protests were between two groups, each supporting either one of the two leading candidates, Viktor Yushchenko and Viktor Yanukovych, and in a way, turned "orange versus blue, with orange being the color of the media-savvy Yushchenko protesters, blue the color of the pro-Yanukovych government supporters" because "apparently, in the post-Soviet era, nobody wants to be red!"
Feminism and protest clothing:
Whether it's balaclava-clad models showing solidarity with Pussy Riot (and therefore LGBT issues, feminism, and opposition to the near-dictatorship of Vladimir Putin) or female actors wearing pussybow blouses in support of Hillary Clinton (after Donald Trump's, erm, tape was released, ugh!) or women's rights activists wearing the red robes and white bonnets from The Handmaid's Tale "to protest the gender discrimination and the infringement of reproductive and civil rights of women" and appearing at demonstrations or at a Roy Moore campaign rally, feminist protest fashion in the 21st century is going pretty strong! It's impressive in a way, but also disheartening because, well, it's 2018 and we're still...where exactly in the grand scheme of things?
There's always some doubt about protest fashion, especially when it's rather fashionable, because it can come dangerously close to being meaningless as more number of people jump onto the ethical bandwagon (a risk that seems high in the social-media-saturated age of millennials). But that's a risk we must take, because the injustice, inequality, oppression, racism, sexism, bigotry, and ignorance that these protests address, are much more harmful and toxic compared to a few not-quite-sure-why-they're-doing/wearing-something folks. Almost always, protest fashion and clothing are a mark of the liberal and progressive, who find themselves thrown in the midst of oppressive and unjust times. There's some beauty in it, at times. But protest fashion is meant to ignite and incite, and eviscerate bigotry and hatred, so it's okay if it's not always the most fashionable or the most aesthetically pleasing.
The more uncomfortable the opposition feels, the more successful that particular protest fashion is!

A small update before I disappear for a while.
Firstly I'm going to take a break from the blog until early September. I intended to do that last year and it didn't really happen. It probably won't happen this year either – good intentions usually get wrecked by reality. But it's summer – time for the family and for holidays and having fun, not writing blogs. Let's see how long that lasts, shall we?
I probably will be writing in the background anyway because… OK a lot of people I follow on Twitter have been tweeting their top 50 debut albums and having read a lot of them it struck me I could create something similar. Only it isn't as obvious as that. I hate having to be definitive – this is the best album ever? It may be different tomorrow – so what I'll do is pick 40 debut albums and write about them, sometimes it will be a long one and sometimes it will be shorter. At least that's the plan anyway. They won't necessarily be all my favourite debut albums, but I'll make a case for each of them to be worthy of your time. I certainly won't be putting them in any order other than alphabetical. At the moment I'm not sure how it will turn out – maybe one post per album as and when I write it, or maybe group them up into threes or fours. It depends how much I write about each LP I suppose. I've got a short list of about sixty LPs to whittle down and I'm sure I'll think of more as time goes by.
So that's all in the future. As for the next few days, I'm heading for my friendly local softplay centre and quietly hoping they don't play "Let it go" over the tannoy again.
Have a cool summer, boys and girls. 😎

A Death Twice Avenged
- £1.99
- £1.99
Publisher Description
From the top of the stairs, a little girl of five overhears an argument in the sitting-room below, between her father and a late-night visitor. Frightened and uncertain she dared not descend the staircase but sat trembling at the top, unable to return to bed. Her father is killed. She did not see the killer and cannot remember clearly the content of the conversation, but she remembers the killer's voice. Twenty years later she recognises the voice, identifies its owner and sets out to take her revenge. The first part of her plan succeeds, and her quarry goes to gaol for six months, but in putting into action the second part, she disappears. Her husband reports her missing, a search is instigated. The police authorities in Worcester believe that Inspector Wickfield is the best man for the job, but he seems to do nothing but stumble from one blind alley to another. His investigation leads him and his sergeant, Spooner, to interview a businessman in Spain, a dotty clergyman, a cashiered army major, a gushing hypnotherapist, a horsey countrywoman and a seedy cabinetmaker, in an attempt to unravel the sequence of events – oh, and there is an important interlude in Scotland - but enlightenment comes only when Wickfield's wife cracks a philosophical joke. In this work of detective fiction, Julius Falconer delights his readers yet again with a deliciously teasing and ingenious plot, laced with comments on life, the universe and everything – and that, of course, includes revenge.

PepsiCo 'on back foot' as bid to catch Coke hots up
PepsiCo is plotting a fresh assault on the UK cola market after admitting that it has been caught on the "back foot" by the launch of Coke Zero last summer.
Speaking exclusively to Marketing Week, Bruno Gruwez, marketing director Pepsi UK, says: "We believe there is growth in the category. But we have been caught on the back foot and we need to become a little better on innovation."
He says that innovation in the soft drinks category must go beyond new flavours and should focus on developing and launching completely new products.
It is understood that the launch of a new cola could come as early as this autumn. It is unclear if it will be a global or UK specific launch. PepsiCo's cola portfolio consists of core brands Pepsi, Diet Pepsi and Pepsi Max across the UK.
Gruwez says there is urgent need for innovation across the carbonates sector, and points to lack of product launches in comparison to the non-carbonates segment.
Coca-Cola launched Coke Zero last year in the hope of taking market share from Pepsi's sugar-free competitor Pepsi Max.
Retail sources suggest Coke Zero has had mixed success, with some saying it has cannibalised sales of Diet Coke.
Gruwez claims Pepsi's market share across the cola market has grown since the arrival of Coke Zero. He adds: "We believe we have the better proposition."
Gruwez took over as UK marketing director last summer, replacing Caroline Diamond (MW 11 May, 2006). He is responsible for strategic direction of its brands and works in collaboration with Britvic Soft Drinks, PepsiCo's UK bottling partner.
He had worked on the Tropicana juice brand since 1994 and held a variety of roles before becoming UK marketing director.

In a little municipality not so far away there was an accountant. He was given a cushy job and, less than 10 days into it, he signed off on payments of more than R2-million to companies that never provided the services they were paid for.
He was then banned from working in a municipality. But, instead of serving his ban, he landed a job in another municipality in the same position a very short time afterward.
This is not a fairy tale.
Four years ago, the Amajuba District Municipality in KwaZulu-Natal fired its acting chief financial officer, Khulekani Thusi, for failing to ensure proper procurement processes were followed when he and the municipal manager signed off on payments to dubious companies that didn't even render the services.
The municipal manager resigned and Thusi was found guilty of contravening the supply chain management policies and the Municipal Finance Management Act.
According to Thusi's appeal records, filed at the South African Local Government Bargaining Council in KwaZulu-Natal, he did not answer questions at the initial hearing held by the municipality. Only when he was dismissed did he begin to defend himself.
His defence was unsuccessful. If regulations were followed, he should have served a ban of between five to 10 years before he would be allowed to be re-employed by any municipality. This is clearly set out in the Local Government Municipal Systems Act.
It seems that Thusi has been blessed, because he was employed at the recently established Big Five Hlabisa Local Municipality, born from the merger between the Big Five False Bay and Hlabisa local municipalities on August 3 2016.
The mayor of the Big Five Hlabisa Local Municipality, Velenkosini Hlabisa, threw his weight behind Thusi, telling the Mail & Guardian that the fact that this story had come to light at this time was concerning.
He said the story had emerged now because the municipality is in the process of appointing a chief financial officer and Thusi had been one of the applicants.
"It is a painful thing when people want positions — willy-nilly they do whatever it takes to pay and destroy others to satisfy their desires," Hlabisa said. "Issues got raised in the corridors and eventually by the department [of co-operative governance and traditional affairs], which had approved his acting as the chief financial officer in the past."
He said Thusi's verification was done with Amajuba municipality and no record of dismissal was disclosed to the then Hlabisa municipality. Hlabisa argued that Thusi acting in the chief financial officer position wasn't the same as being employed in the position, hence the mayor doesn't believe that any regulations were subverted.
Back in 2011 Thusi was promoted to acting chief financial officer at the Amajuba municipality. According to the arbitration award document, he was hired on February 17 and signed off on the payments to three service providers 10 days later.
"A company search was done in relation to the three service providers … Central Route Medeia [sic] Trading was deregistered on July 16 2010. Hallelluyah Entertainment was deregistered on February 24 2011. Payment was made to it on February 25," read the documents.
A third company, Lindinhlanhla Enterprise, was also paid.
But it gets even more bizarre. All three companies were to provide accommodation, dinner and breakfast for five days for a regional sports competition that would be held in December.
"When the municipality tried to confirm the bookings […] they could not find said service providers. [It] had to make other arrangements for the accommodation, which amounted to a cost of approximately R300 000," reads the report.
"The applicant's [Thusi's] main defence was that he was not involved in the initial procurement of these services and it was not his duty to have checked that everything was in order. The municipal manager had approved the invoices and he basically instructed to pay."
The municipality suffered a loss of R2 006 759 for services not provided.
The report said that any reasonable person would have realised that there was something wrong with the payments.
For now Thusi keeps on working as though R2-million never disappeared.

COVID-19 Situation Report
As of 20 March the total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Thailand has exceeded 200 and is projected to continue rising at a rapid pace. In an attempt to slow the spread, the Thai government has begun implementing social distancing measures similar to other countries around the world. This includes the mandatory closure all school campuses, which have now shifted to online instruction.
It is highly important to note that international travel is now dramatically impacted by the policies being implemented both by airlines and governments. The United States and United Kingdom have both issued notices indicating that any of their citizens who reside in their home countries but are traveling abroad should return as soon as possible or potentially risk being unable to do so at a later date. At this time no special guidance has been given to citizens of those countries who reside abroad.
Approximately 80% of all cases continue to be mild, and more serious infections occur in those 50 years of age or older. Though the fatality rate is several times higher than the common flu, medical experts generally agree that this figure will decrease when we are able to more fully track those with minimal symptoms. Special care should be taken to protect those at the greatest risk: the elderly and older adults with preexisting conditions. While some cases have occurred in children, these represent a small number, and the symptoms are mild. If you or a family member is ill, and you were at risk of exposure, seek out medical advice, as this will dramatically improve quality of care.
COVID-19 Information & Precautions
▶ What can we anticipate will come next in terms of a response to COVID-19?
▶ How is the 14-day quarantine enforced?
- Schools are institutions dedicated to educating children, and are not equipped to act as enforcers of government policy.
- The lack of a city-wide or country-wide quarantine or travel ban means that a risk of exposure exists for all community members, particularly when in public or on public transport. This will continue to be the case given the increasing number of cases occurring in Bangkok.

Veridian recognized as Durham Region's Smart Commute Employer of the Year
Award demonstrates utility's commitment to reducing environmental impacts of commuting to work
Ajax, ON – Veridian Connections Inc. was recognized as Durham Region's 'Smart Commute Employer of the Year' at a ceremony held in Toronto last night. The Smart Commute awards ceremony was hosted by Metrolinx and is held annually to recognize employers who are leaders in helping employees to reduce their environmental impacts of commuting to work.
Accepting the award on Veridian's behalf was Kyle Brown, the company's Manager of Retailer Relations and Smart Commute Coordinator. Brown credited Veridian's 200-plus employees for the award. "The employees at Veridian have embraced our smart commute initiatives targeted at reducing congestion and focusing on the environment," explains Brown. "Simple measures such as promotions to increase awareness, fun competitions and low cost incentives have led to significant changes in employee commuting practices."
Brown points out that Veridian's smart commute initiatives have been supported by the company. "Veridian offers flexible work options such as telecommuting and compressed work weeks to reduce the amount of travel required by employees, and earlier this year introduced a bike sharing program and high occupancy vehicle (HOV) parking spaces at its corporate office located in Ajax," she said. "Among a number of other unique smart commute initiatives, the company has a video conferencing system to reduce the need for travel between the company's work locations."
"A member since 2008, Veridian has twice been awarded Durham Region's Smart Commute Employer of the Year award for its outstanding efforts in assisting employees with travel planning to reduce harmful carbon dioxide emissions," said Sandra McEleney, Smart Commute Durham Representative. "Veridian has a number of successful programs supporting alternative transportation methods for employees that are the cornerstone of building strong, sustainable communities."
The Smart Commute initiative began as a partnership of municipal governments in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA), and the partnership was expanded to include Metrolinx early in 2008. Smart Commute's goal is to reduce traffic congestion and to take action on climate change through transportation efficiency. It helps and encourages local employers to explore and promote more environment-friendly commuter options such as carpooling, teleworking, transit, cycling, walking and flexible working hours.
Recipients of the Smart Commute awards were selected by an independent panel of community members from various sectors across the GTHA. Evaluations were based on the employer's commitment to the program, leadership in their communities, innovation and results.
Veridian Connections Inc. safely and reliably delivers electricity to more than 115,000 customers in the Cities of Pickering and Belleville, the Towns of Ajax, Port Hope and Gravenhurst, and the communities of Uxbridge, Bowmanville, Newcastle, Orono, Port Perry, Beaverton, Sunderland and Cannington.

Be the first OregonLive.com user to add photos or videos of Brian's Appliance Repair
At a friend's recommendation, I called Brian more than a month and a half ago requesting service but didn't hear back. I called a couple more times over the next week and finally got ahold of him. When his tech came out, he diagnosed the problem and said he'd order the part and get back to me in a few days. After more than a week, I called again to see what the status was, and he finally came out to install the part only to discover he had the wrong part. He said he'd be back in an hour or so with the right part. That was more than three weeks ago, and I have heard absolutely nothing from him. I have left several messages and have now chosen to use another appliance repair service. Thankfully, I have not paid Brian a cent yet, and if he has the nerve to send a bill, I will certainly not be paying it. The only reason I let the drama drag on this long is because I had another washing machine within easy reach. I certainly could not have gone this long without clean laundry otherwise!
Brian was on time, completely repaired the freezer that we thought was done for, and charged us his original quoted price even though the repair took longer than he had anticipated. He was also very friendly and professional. We will call him again the next time we need an appliance repaired.
We have had Brian work on both our dishwasher and dryer. He's great. His rates are very reasonable and he is on time. Its great to find someone reliable in our area. Definitely can reccommend him!

(Reuters) - An "all clear" signal was given at Patrick Air Force Base in Florida on Friday an hour after a bomb threat forced authorities to evacuate the area, the base said in a tweet.
"There is no credible threat to the area at this time," the air force base said.
The threat came hours after four people were killed and eight injured in a shooting at the Naval Air Station Pensacola. A member of the Saudi Air Force visiting the United States for military training was the suspected shooter.

Peers united in their respect for Tiger's phenomenal achievement
Outpouring of joy following victory a measure of Woods's standing in the game
Tony Finau congratulates Tiger Woods on his win after the final round of the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club. Photograph: Andrew Redington/Getty Images
It is highly rare for those defeated to take such joy from the identity of the winner at the Masters.
That Justin Thomas, Rickie Fowler, Xander Schauffele, Bubba Watson, Ian Poulter, Brooks Koepka, Bernhard Langer and Adam Scott stood to shake the hand of a victorious Tiger Woods as he headed to sign his Sunday scorecard at Augusta National proved a sign of things to come.
The world's leading players lined up to pay tribute to Woods as he donned a Green Jacket for a fifth time.
"Couldn't be happier for him, what a great day for golf," said Rory McIlroy.
Woods owes McIlroy and co a debt of gratitude as well. As the now 15-times Major champion began his journey back towards tournament golf, following a fourth back surgery, Florida's young professional golf contingent were a constant source of encouragement. Woods regularly played practice matches with them as he sought to ascertain whether his body would allow him to be competitive again.
"It's incredible," said Koepka, who shared second place at the Masters.
"I think we all knew it was going to come. I said it last year at the Open. I thought he was ready, raring to go to win a Major again and it only took him two more tries. It's impressive, it's fun to watch and, just as a fan of golf and Tiger, it's very special. The atmosphere around Tiger is mind-blowing."
The by-product of Woods's prominence is, of course, more attention towards professional golf in general. It is no surprise, therefore, to see his fellow players offer congratulations.
Incredible experience
Yet it felt on Sunday as if there was a general sense of appreciation towards what the 43-year-old had achieved during one of sport's greatest ever comebacks.
"It's an amazing story," said Tommy Fleetwood. "Not just in golf, in sport; in life."
The problem for these golfers will, of course, arrive should Woods become anything close to his dominant past. Then, one assumed, the adulation will not quite be so forthcoming.
Schauffele finished alongside Koepka and Dustin Johnson as runners-up.
"It was like a dream, honestly," Schauffele said. "It's what I watched as a kid. It's what I watched growing up. Just everything about it, and for me to be a part of it; it was an incredible experience."
Tony Finau's scenario was different from everyone else – Francesco Molinari aside – because he spent Sunday in Woods's company.
"It was great," Finau said. "To witness that, a handful of years ago I don't know a lot of people believed that Tiger would win another Major. From what I saw obviously he's not going anywhere anytime soon.
"You can't say enough about Tiger and what he's done for the game. It's great for him to be involved in the game and now he's got his 15th Major. He's going to be a force to be reckoned with these next few years, I'm sure." – Guardian

Anti-Counterfeiting Blockathon Forum Workshop
On 5-6 June 2019 the EUIPO hosted the first meeting of the Anti-counterfeiting Blockathon Forum, launched in partnership with the European Commission early this year. The forum is a follow up of the successful EU Blockathon2018 coding competition.
The 30 forum participants, that provided comments to define the use case, were invited to the meeting and represented rights holders, logistic operators, customs officials, blockchain/tech companies and policy-makers. After intensive discussion, an anti-counterfeiting use case was further developed and a preliminary commitment was made to carry out a pilot. The pilot will focus on testing the Blockathon 2018 winning solution elaborated around a digital twin principle, and it will be carried out in collaboration with key partners active in the supply chain such as logistic operators and rights holder. The detailed requirements will be shared with the forum in coming weeks and as a basis for further definition of follow-up pilots.
The forum is open to all parties interested in Blockchain based anti-counterfeiting solutions, and participation is free of charge. The forum provides a platform for exchange of knowledge and collaboration between committed stakeholders. It is aimed at supporting the building of the next level of anti-counterfeiting infrastructure based on an open source protocol interconnecting various proprietary tracking and tracing solutions as well as existing technical anti-counterfeiting tools.
The EUIPO has taken a leading role in this Anti-Counterfeiting Blockathon project as it is in a unique position to promote open collaboration and communication between the EU institutions, private stakeholders and enforcement authorities notably through the tools like the IP Enforcement portal.

Dr Ann Simon
Physicist Dr Ann Simon was Trinity Hall's first ever female student, joining the College as a graduate student in Michaelmas Term 1976. She had "an insanely good time" and loved how Trinity Hall, with its welcoming community, seemed to project a sort of "wrap around aspect" which comforted her when work and the department got her down.
She remembers wonderful parties greatly helped by Abdo's secret recipe for punch. After five years as a Research Fellow at Trinity Hall and ten years working as a physicist in the Cavendish Laboratory, Ann moved to finance, performing a host of leading roles, particularly in the life sciences and technology sectors. Success, she reminds her two children, demands that "if you want to achieve anything in life, you gotta go for it" but "try not to burn bridges".

Are the stones still where they were placed at the time of the crossing of the Jordan?
Joshua 4:7
NKJV - 7 "Then you shall answer them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it crossed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. And these stones shall be for a memorial to the children of Israel forever."
Community answers are sorted based on votes. The higher the vote, the further up an answer is.
Amos 4:4, Amos 5:5, and Hosea 4:15 all make negative statements in regard to Gilgal (which means literally "circle of standing stones"), so perhaps even this location, which was originally meant by Joshua to commemorate a miracle brought about by God, became associated in His eyes with the sin and idolatry into which Israel fell following the death of Solomon, and thus was subject to the same destruction that was subsequently brought upon both Israel and Judah as a judgment from God. I would therefore question whether any trace of those stones remains, despite an original intention on the part of Joshua in the verse cited in the question that they should remain in place forever.
All answers are REVIEWED and MODERATED.

- The Baileys - A Song For Ireland
The Baileys are
An by now, there's hardly a village hall or pub in any hamlet of Ireland that hasn't yet played host to their electrically-charged performances.
Times have changed, however. With the music industry awash with complex fusion works and variations of Irish music, demand for a truly organic Irish sound has soared. Michael and Anthony caught the crest of this wave, enjoying a success that has seen them play to massive audiences in theatres and folk music clubs across Ireland.
Where The Baileys go, true aficionados follow. Theirs is a gift that transcends national boundaries.

text: I am posting for my mother to ask some questions because she is currently too unwell to do so herself. Her surgery was 3 week ago yesterday and I am afraid that she has had a major setback. Yesterday she moved a certain way and suddenly experienced a shooting pain up her back that has been excruciating. She was unable to put any pressure on her right foot at all. Up until now she has been doing marvelously. Now it is like she has returned to day one. She was immediately taken over to her surgeons office where they told her that she may have pulled a muscle, but that it is possible that she messed up some of her surgeon's work. Did anyone experience anything like this? Is it possible that the fusion had not completely taken place and she has some how or other damaged it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am so worried. Thanks

Copyright © 2016 Accaoui Jewelry.
All Rights Reserved.
Specialized in engraving and jewelry since three generations, ACCAOUI family knew how to stand out and engrave its name in history.
All started in 1918 with Halim ACCAOUI, the grand-father, specialist in hand-engraving, and well known for his talents of engraving the portraits of great personalities, such as the portrait of Franklin Roosevelt. He is also the one who offered to the Saudi Arabian King, Abdel Aziz Al SAOUD theThrone Verse. In return, the King offered him the traditional royal costume.
Being a producer and a well-known artist in Raad& Hani Market, Halim ACCAOUI suggested to his Majesty, the King of Egypt, through the Grand Vizier, two golden jewels upon which, the name of her Majesty Princess Fadia, was engraved on the first, and the Throne Verse on the second.
His work was so accurate that his Majesty the King of Egypt appreciated it. The Grand Vizier, Tarek Omar Fathi, addressed him the following words:
" I had the honor to submit to his majesty, the gift you gave me while I recently visited Lebanon, and have the pleasure to convey his praise". This was published in an article in Al-Nahar, a daily newspaper, in 1944.
Abdallah ACCAOUI took the binding in 1954. Gifted for trade and well known for his professional engraving talents, he was also known for his kindness and efficiency. Due to his preciseness, he produced a Koran, entirely hand engraved with gold, which was offered as a present to the Lybian President Idris Sanouth. He also produced cufflinks to many personalities, among which the great box Champion, Mohamed Ali Kley, the President of Lebanon, Souleiman Franjieh and the Emir Majid Erslan.
The descendants carried on with the family tradition and its know-how, engraving and jewel art since 1993.
