Fantasticyets posted a topic in Comics Market - Want To Buy!Will pay via PayPal. No restored copies. Thanks.
Haven't tried a trade thread for a couple of years now, but figured it was that time again. Not looking to sell. I am a collector and not a dealer nor a flipper. It is just that my collecting focus has changed over time. Also, I don't sell to buy (so no need to suggest that). When I do sell, the funds ALWAYS go to a family account; but when I trade, the books go to MY collection. We each are responsible for safe shipping of books. I package double-boxed, Priority Mail insured and well protected with bubble-wrap and shipping peanuts. Trade values based on 90-day GPA (or GoCollect and/or recent eBay sales if neither has subscription to GPA, I don't) at time of trade. I don't mind using cash/PayPal to even up a trade in either direction, but prefer focus of trade to be graded books for graded books. Members in good standing only. Here is what I have available (sorted somewhat by year). Available for trade: Fantastic Four #37 (Apr, 1965) CGC 7.5 Silver Surfer #4 (Feb, 1969) CGC 9.2 Green Lantern #85 (Aug, 1971) CGC 9.2 SS (Neal Adams) Incredible Hulk #181 (Nov, 1974) CGC 9.2 (trade-up only) Giant-Size X-Men #1 (May, 1975) CGC 9.2 (trade-up only) Marvel Feature #1 (Nov, 1975) CGC 9.6 X-Men #99 (Jun, 1976) CGC 9.0 (30-cent variant) X-Men #103 (Feb, 1977) CGC 9.4 X-Men #121 (May, 1979) CGC 9.6 X-Men #137 (Sep, 1980) CGC 9.6 X-Men #157 (May, 1982) CGC 9.6 Logan's Run #6 (Jun, 1977) CGC 9.4 Star Wars #1 (Jul, 1977) CGC 9.2 Star Wars #3 (Sep, 1977) CGC 9.4 Star Wars #4 (Oct, 1977) CGC 9.4 Star Wars #4 (Oct, 1977) CGC 9.6 SupeRichie #13 (Feb, 1978) CGC 9.4 SupeRichie #15 (Jun, 1978) CGC 9.8 Looking for: Open to trades on just about any high grade bronze Marvel 1st appearance. Also interested in low grade silver Marvel #1 issues. Top priority for Hulk #1 3.0, Hulk #181 9.6, and Fantastic Four #1 3.0. Preferred non-Signature Series. Scans to follow...

Deep discounts on books that have been offered before, shallow discounts on new offerings. Now on to the 1. The first person in the thread to post the gets it. 2. Accept PayPal, Check and Money Order 3. Shipping will be $6.50 for the first 5 RAW inside the US. I will combine shipping to equal whatever it costs after that.

Howdy folks! Got a nice set of Overstreet Quarterly' s looking for a good home. All from an original owner collection(me!)and a smoke free home. I'm not the best at grading so take a look at the pictures and ask any questions. Grades as follows: #2 - 8.5, #3 - 9.2, #4 - 9.4, #5 - looks 9.2 but has a bad printers cut on the BLC best seen from the back so I'm giving it a 8.5, #6 - 9.4. All pages are attached firmly with no tears and no seam splits to bindings. Rules: First in thread trumps any PMs. I refuse to sell to Probates or naughty people in general. Shipping & Insurance is included in the price. US only at this time. Payment: PayPal preferred, but will accept MO or check if that's your thing. Returns: accepted if not satisfied within 5 days of your receiving books or obviously if there is damage during shipping.
Apologies if this is covered elsewhere and/or if this is the wrong place to ask. I'm still a bit of a board newbie. Why are all three of these eras (gold, silver, bronze) under 1 heading in the for sale section? I could understand if it was Silver and Bronze only. But 1939 - 1985 is a long time. I do enjoy seeing all the golden age books that I might not normally come across if it was just silver and/or bronze. But it does seem weird to lump these 3 eras together. thoughts ? JL

We have reliably learned that struggling singer Lucy Austine is dating a sugar daddy. The singer is said to have hooked a light skinned guy only identified as Jong, North Korean by origin at her Cake store in Arua park.
It's also said that Lucy met the aging Korean few weeks ago in a place yet to be identified and the duo kicked off their romance immediately. It's not a week after the singer headlined Facebook for urging girls to hold a small pėnis like a cigarette stick. I can't tell what is in the thoughts of Lucy about the Korean's attacking form. Well, as usual Asian men remain the same. Their pant packages do not enhance bed appetite! We will not be surprised when Lucy publish her experience about a small Nuke.
Other reliable sources have informed us that, Lucy Austine has been promised a Korean Visa which will grant her entry into Pyongyang in the few coming months. If all go well, the singer will be announced as Kim Jong Un's in law from South Sudan.
Goodluck Lucy Austine with your sugar daddy. You chose a right path which will not only benefit you but our country in one way or another. We can't wait to be part of the nuclèar program.

Farmers backed by the newly floated political outfit Himachal Lokhit Party (HLP) held a protest in front of the office the Deputy Commissioner (DC), Kangra. They were alleging that the state government had not set up any mandi in their area where they could sell their grain produce, including rice and wheat.
The farmers also heaped rice in front of the DC's office alleging that they did not have any outlet where they could get minimum support price for their grain produce. The farmers alleged that the entire policy of the state government was targeted at apple farmers. They were compensated in case their crop was damaged from natural disaster. However, farmers of lower areas faced drought and floods, but were never compensated for the damage to their crops.
Balbir Chaudhary, who was leading the protest, demanded early solution from State Govt and he also threatens with the agitation if government failed to do so.

This weekend, the Wisconsin Badgers split a series with Penn State, winning 7-4 and getting shut out 6-0.
Game 1: Wisconsin 7, Penn State 4
The Badgers opened up their series against Penn State with an exciting, high-scoring game. Six players contributed seven goals, as the Badgers downed the Nittany Lions 7-4, after dropping back to back games to PSU three weeks ago.
Will Johnson opened the scoring for Wisconsin around the nine minute mark, but it was a lopsided period in Penn State's favor. The Nittany Lions registered 16 shots on goal, including the game-tying goal three minutes after Johnson's tally.
"The first period, they kind of picked us apart," head coach Tony Granato told uwbadgers.com. "We didn't skate real well and they came out real well but we were able to survive that. Berry made some really big saves for us."
The Badgers took control through the first 13 minutes of the second period. Seamus Malone scored his tenth of the year, followed by Jason Ford's rebound jam from Jake Linhart. But once again Penn State fought back: Nate Sucese and Andrew Sturtz scored within one minute of each other to tie the game and swing momentum back in their favor. It was only when Matt Ustaski scored on a three-on-one with 12 seconds to go in the period that the Badgers took control for the rest of the game.
Grant Besse scored four minutes into the third period, followed by one final Penn State tally a minute later. After that, the Badgers locked down defensively before Ryan Wagner scored two insurance goals to seal the victory.
"I thought we played really smart with the puck as the game went on," Granato told the media after Friday's win. "When you're on the road and you have a lead, with especially how dynamic they are offensively, that was a heck of a period for us not giving up many chances."
That win along with Minnesota's loss put the teams back tied for the Big Ten lead.
Game 2
The second night was not as successful for the Badgers. The Nittany Lions scored a total of six goals and held the Badgers off the board completely.
The Wisconsin offense fired 36 shots at the net, but goalie Peyton Jones was up to the task, saving every last shot.
"I think their goalie made big saves when we had chances to get back in the game," Granato told uwbadgers.com. "We had plenty of chances around their net, obviously, we would have liked to start better but they came at us pretty good and deserved to win."
David Goodwin scored twice and added two assist for the Nittany Lions and was a +3, a night after being -3.
One of Goodwin's goals came in the third period, a period in which Penn State scored three goals.
"We tried to open up more offensively as the game went on and that led to more mistakes defensively," Granato told the media after the game. "We didn't make the most of our chances… and in the third we tried to open it up more and it led to their goals."
The Badgers are now one win, and three points, behind Minnesota in the Big Ten standings. They face a tough Ohio State team at home next weekend in their final regular season series. The Badgers can finish no worse than third in the Big Ten, and hold hopes of making it back into the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2014.

Well, if all goes well today, the Kindle Fire I bought for my wife should arrive from UPS. She really wanted a tablet. What was the main reason? She wanted to easily sit in her recliner and browse the Internet. She won't have to worry about "lugging" her laptop over to do that anymore. It seemed like a small problem to me, but who am I to argue? Besides if it makes her life happier, I'm all for it.
As a way to celebrate the release of the Kindle Fire and my wife being able to easily browse the internet in her recliner, I thought I would run a small promotion on Miscorrection: Book 1 (Sunrise to Sundown). From now until November 30, 2011 the eBook will be only $2.99. That's a 40% savings off the regular price. You can't beat that.
For everyone getting a Kindle Fire today or in the near future, I hope you enjoy it. And if you decide to buy Miscorrection: Book 1, I hope you enjoy that, too!

ASTROPHYSICIST Carl Sagan once described science as a "candle in the dark", a painstaking process of trial and error where rational, objective methodology attempts to light a pathway for our species to investigate the great unknowns of the surrounding universe. However, this centuries-old quest for enlightenment and technological advancement has often been tainted by ignorance, superstition and fear of the unknown. We are, perhaps, still affected by the hangover of ancient metaphorical warnings that consuming the fruit from the tree of knowledge would lead to the "fall of man" - rather than providing the only realistic opportunity of turning all of our most optimistic hopes for the future into reality.
Over the past six months, The Herald's STEM campaign – in partnership with the top tier of Scottish industry and academia – has attempted to shine a similarly positive, progressive and informative light upon the achievements and hopes of those working within the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. We have also explored how those working within these various sectors are striving to inspire the next generation of scientists, inventors, engineers and academics to embrace STEM subjects in their learning – with the aim of making young people aware of the wealth of opportunities on offer if they choose to dedicate their lives to societal advancement, technological progression and the search for knowledge.
Choosing STEM subjects at an early stage in life not only means the sky is the limit for pupils' careers, but also serves to strengthen Scotland's future role in helping find solutions to current global issues – such as climate change, poverty, renewable energy and the fight against disease.
We hope the young stars of tomorrow find that the trailblazers and dreamers profiled within these pages inspire them into Scotland's next era of enlightenment.

I really struggled yesterday- the emotional part mean i woke up and instantly had a 'wobble' with the OH
Had a day where I felt unsupported and I find it's easier when it's just me & the toddler during the week, then i can deal with my mood swings/cravings by myself instead of having to explain myself to anyone!
At work last night I thought about the cigs i was selling- but didn't feel the need to buy any, and treated myself to a dvd instead( yeah, another one!)
I thought it got easier after the first few days, but I've found the complete opposite!
I went to the docs yesterday and got a prescription, so was able to get 4 weeks worth of varying strength patches for about £7
I am VERY pleased today is the last day in my first week!!!!!!
How are other 'Day 7-er's' doing??

MILAN, Italy — If the Hadid sisters are the current gold standard for celebrity influencer placements, high-end jewellery brand Bulgari could be considered quite fortunate to call Bella its accessories ambassador.
At Milan Fashion Week this past September, the younger Hadid co-hosted a high-wattage party in celebration of the house's handbag collaboration with accessories designer Nicholas Kirkwood. However, Bulgari was not the only brand to benefit from Hadid's appearance that evening. While she arrived at the event's step and repeat clad in Bulgari emeralds and diamonds, her shoes, revealed by the thigh-high slit on her floor-length black-velvet Ester Abner gown, were not Kirkwood, but instead a pair of pearl-strap pumps borrowed from the Italian footwear house René Caovilla.
It may not be a name so well known outside of Italian fashion circles, but René Caovilla's sparkling statement sandals are currently popping up on the red carpet with a frequency atypical of a shoe label. (Heels, after all, are often hidden by floor-length gowns.) And yet, as of late, a multitude of celebrities, from Rihanna to Bella and Gigi to Robin Wright and Jane Fonda, are choosing Caovilla to complement their mullet hems.
Edoardo Caovilla, creative director and chief operating officer of his family's nearly 100-year-old company, insists he doesn't "pay to play." Regardless, René Caovilla's growing celebrity fanbase underscores the brand's recent momentum, largely fuelled by the strategy the third-generation heir implemented after joining the family business in November 2009 following a stint in private equity. (The Caovilla family's financial interests extend far beyond shoes into finance, media, real estate and energy.)
"I have the oldest shoe company in the world," says Caovilla, sitting in the rooftop garden of the company's Milan offices, which in January 2015 moved from Via Sant'Andrea to a more prestigious address on Corso Matteotti Giacomo, an upgrade meant to signal the label's new global status. "The challenge is to respect that DNA, but evolve it to reflect the contemporary market."
At the time of the now-41-year-old heir's arrival, René Caovilla — named after Edoardo's father, the company's current president and longtime creative leader, but founded by his grandfather in the 1920s — was generating under $10 million a year in revenue. In 2017, sales are projected to reach between $50 million and $60 million.
So how did Caovilla get here? And how will the family, venerable players in the cultural and social fabric of Venice, Italy — just 20 minutes' drive away from company headquarters — capitalise on its newfound success?
For the uninitiated, the first thing to know about René Caovilla is that the shoes are expensive. Very expensive. For instance, a pair of d'Orsay kitten-heel pumps embellished with dozens of rows of teeny, rainbow-coloured Swarovski crystals will set a client back $1,650. A lace-covered mule flat, decorated with chunky tear-drop crystals, is $1,095. Caovilla says it's Swarovski's oldest account in Europe, and the label is heavily associated with bling. (Instead of lacquering its soles with a signature colour — it experimented with red decades before Christian Louboutin — many are now sprinkled with glitter dust.)
The house is also associated with an older consumer: the "mother of the bride," as American department stores like to reference a certain set of ladies who might be inclined to invest two or three times a lifetime in ornately decorated, special-occasion footwear.
A [high] margin allows you to set up the right strategy. This is why we're growing and why some of our best-sellers are our most expensive shoes.
When the younger Caovilla entered the fray seven years ago, his goal was to make like Chanel and continue to serve the loyal client while introducing the Caovilla name to younger generations. Price point was non-negotiable. In fact, he actually increased the price of several styles by 30 to 35 percent. "A [high] margin allows you to set up the right strategy," Caovilla says. "It allows you to be clear. When customers understand how much quality there is on the back, they realise that the price is still low. This is why we're growing and why some of our bestsellers are our most expensive shoes."
René Caovilla products are made in Fiesso d'Artico, an industry town in Veneto, one of three regions in Italy regarded for its handcrafted women's luxury shoes (the others being Tuscany and Marche). While it now only manufactures its own label, the René Caovilla archives are peppered with others. At one point or another, the maison has built shoes for designers including Valentino Garavani, John Galliano at Christian Dior and Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel.
Employees at the Fiesso d'Artico headquarters hail from more than 12 different countries spanning multiple generations, with one team member employed for more than 60 years. Each of the 38-or-so steps it takes to make a shoe is completed with precision, down to the final examination by someone whose job is to explicitly dust off each pair.
"You need to learn a new way to make the same thing," Caovilla explains during a trip to the impeccably clean Fiesso d'Artico facilities, showing off the million-euro machinery that allows him to laser cut leather. Today, the average age of a factory employee is 40, down from 60 seven years ago. (The number of employees during that period has nearly tripled to 50 from almost 150.) "We needed to learn how to teach. The quality has always been what distinguishes René Caovilla from other brands."
One way to conjure the value of the brand is to dramatise the historical significance of its headquarters, which is currently undergoing a major renovation, complete with the addition of a top-floor design studio lit by the sun and designed in the lavish Venetian style, all gold curly cues and pastel. (The company's founder was born on the property, while its namesake was raised just a few hundred metres away.) The Caovilla family's relationship to Venice, where it is heavily enmeshed in local society and cultural institutions like the Biennale, is another branding opportunity. "They could own Venice," says Mario Ortelli, a luxury goods analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein. "There are not many brands that have made inroads there."
However, before the youngest Caovilla even thought about sketching out a marketing plan, he tackled both distribution and merchandising. In 2010, 85 percent of René Caovilla product was distributed via wholesale partners. Today, 55 percent of the business is wholesale, while 45 percent is done through its 14 directly operated stores. By region, the business is split fairly evenly across the globe — a third in the Americas, a third in Europe and the Middle East, and a third in the Far East. He wants to open up more directly owned stores (and will do so in São Paulo, Brazil this November and Dubai this December), hitting 18 by February 2018 and reaching 60 within the next three years, working with Milan-based architecture and design firm m2atelier to bring modernity to the Venetian aesthetic.
However, key markets — including the US — are taking longer than first anticipated to tap. In New York City, for instance, the cost of a lease in a "prime" retail location — such as the Upper East Side, the brand's most natural home — does not guarantee productivity. (The goal, right now, is to open New York by June 2018.) Caovilla's willingness to wait and see signals a wider desire to achieve results first and glory later. "The new generation is not interested anymore in the moment of purchase," Caovilla says, laying out store renderings on a coffee table. "A store used to be a place where you were producing turnover. Now it's a place where you build relationships."
In terms of the product itself, Caovilla — who assumed the role of creative director from his father in 2011 — has worked to diversify (and modernise) the offering by adding more trend-driven pieces each season, from a white leather tennis shoe — Caovilla-ised with crystals — to a black combat boot, updated each season with new rhinestone embellishments. At the same time, its signature styles — like the jewel-encrusted sandal that snakes up the leg — have attained new relevance. Caovilla produces 200 to 250 different SKUs each season, with 10 to 12 carried-over styles, some of which have been in the collection for nearly 20 years, accounting for half of the business.
For repeat customers, the proven quality of the shoe — which many in the market say is not currently rivalled — validates the price. "I think Caovilla is one of the most interesting and convincing high-end footwear brands in the market," says Luca Solca, head of luxury goods at Exane BNP Paribas. "They stand head and shoulders above the rest in terms of quality, and have been able to build a clearly distinct brand position. Their idea of 'scarpa gioiello'" — which translates to "jewelled shoes" — "is unique and fits very well with their Venetian heritage and DNA."
But René Caovilla has also benefited from the rise in footwear as a status symbol. Shoes are the fastest growing category in the luxury market, reaching €18 billion ($21 billion) globally in 2017, up 10 percent from last year, according to an October 2017 report from Bain & Co. That jump is, at least in part, due to the continued increase in the average cost of a pair of designer shoes, the result of a combination of actual inflation, margin driving, consumer perception and market demand. In 2016, the number of high-net-worth individuals — those with assets that amount to at least $1 million — reached 16.5 million, a 7.5 percent increase from the previous year. This means that there are simply more people who can afford to pay a premium, and René Caovilla has capitalised on this.
However, Caovilla believes an even greater opportunity remains untapped. His goal is to hit $100 million in revenue in the next five years. At that point, he may entertain a public flotation. He says selling a part of the company to a luxury group or private equity firm — both of which generally prefer to take majority stakes — is not something he would consider at this time.
"I am full of friends in the private equity system. Once they came and asked if they could buy the company, now they come and ask what we suggest they should buy," he says. "I have two daughters and a boy. Maybe they would love to work in the sector. If we are going to take some sort of visibility, it would be the listing."
In order to reach that $100 million hurdle, Caovilla is now enacting the third stage of his plan: modernising the brand. Like any label with a strong heritage, he feels an obligation to preserve that legacy; given that the company is privately held, he has been able to move slowly. But now, with on-point product and an optimised distribution network, the heir to the Caovilla throne must communicate exactly what his brand means through a modern lens.
That includes refreshed advertising — shot in black-and-white by photographer Giampaolo Sgura and starring model Giulia Maenza, who was styled by Viviana Volpicella — and a new store concept, which will play to the brand's Venetian heritage with sea-blue walls and gold accents. Caovilla recognises retail as his greatest marketing platform.
Caovilla is very attractive acquisition target for the luxury groups.
Like many brands, the label has also focused on creating exclusive product for each location in the hopes of offering the consumer a compelling reason to walk through the door. Caovilla wants 40 percent of product in every store to be unique.
"I really believe in the concept of crossover. Nowadays, in the market, crossover describes what is happening in distribution — online, offline — and in products, like designer sneakers," he says. "With the store, it's that crossover again, between transaction and the relationship and service."
He also sees designer collaborations in the brand's future, although he is less interested in the approach taken by rival Ferragamo — enlisting an outside designer, Paul Andrew, to oversee the house's visual identity — and is instead eager to mentor young designers. (In September 2017, René Caovilla announced a project with Italian Vogue to bring in young designers for three to six months of training .)
"Many times, companies hire new designers and they become famous while the company does not do so well," he says. "I'm really proud of being the third generation, and that I've been able to interpret the DNA in a contemporary way."
The approach is not entirely unlike that of fellow Italian heritage brand Moncler, which has seen continued success by consistently delivering on a strategy of opening new stores in markets where wholesale has thrived, driving awareness through collaborations and frequently refreshing "hero" products that remain popular for decades. In 2016, Moncler posted sales exceeding $1 billion for the first time in its 65-year history, with net profits of nearly $230 million, just three years after it went public on the Milan stock market.
Of course, René Caovilla still has a long way to go before it gets anywhere close to matching the success of Moncler. For one, the company needs a more extensive brand revamp, likely including updates to its logo and packaging, which remain firmly traditional.
But with a strong brand equity and global awareness fairly limited, the potential is clear. While Caovilla insists he is not open to the advances of a conglomerate, it's understandable why such groups would remain interested. "It's a very attractive acquisition target for the luxury groups because it has heritage, iconic products, expertise in manufacturing a small quantity of products at the very high end, and it's vertically integrated," Ortelli says. "I call it a little gem — they have a very strong niche positioning."
Regardless, potential abounds. There are opportunities not only to expand regionally, but also into new categories, including jewellery and handbags. However, Caovilla vows not to rush. After all, his family has been in the shoe business for nearly a century. "Time," he says, "is the perfect judge."

Smoking rates are the lowest in /*San Marino*/ with 5.3 percent and /*Malibu*/ with 5.8 percent of residents lighting up.
"Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in the U.S. and is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, respiratory diseases and many cancers," explains Dr. Jonathan Fielding, the director of public health of Los Angeles County.
Fielding says more than a million adults in /*Los Angeles County*/ risk their lives and endanger the lives of loved ones with their smoking. He says understanding where smoking rates are high will help officials know where to target anti-smoking programs.
The city of /*Glendale*/ says the report is based on 2007 data that doesn't reflect its anti-smoking campaign. It objects to the findings that reveal that 15 percent of Glendale residents smoke. Glendale launched a major effort to curtail second hand smoke in 2008.
The American Lung Association has given Glendale an "A" grade for its anti-smoking program for two years.

Chills with the locals.
I spotted Norman Reedus (who plays as Daryl Dixon on The Walking Dead) filming an episode of his Ride with Norman Reedus show in Hilo, Hawaii, this past Monday (January 30, 2017).
He was being recorded at a fast food restaurant on Waianuenue Ave. That was the last location I'd expect a famous celebrity to visit...
The neat thing about Hawaii is most of the residents are classy around celebrities. No one screamed or tried to hug Reedus.
On that show, Reedus explores the city's biker culture with a special guest. It's going to be interesting to see who he choose, and where they visited!
The first season of Ride with Norman Reedus consisted of 6 episodes that aired from June 12 to July 17, 2016, on AMC. I'd expect the second season to follow a similar schedule.

It is inevitable to feel anxious before your gigs, especially if you're a newbie. Anxiety can be a good thing if properly managed. It is just a reminder that you are about to perform in front of a passionate crowd who can't wait to enjoy your beautiful performance. Even the biggest and best DJs have to deal with anxiety, so it is essential always to remember you are not alone in this. Use it as a reminder that you are living your dream. Nonetheless, let's look at how to deal with anxiety as a DJ.
Reframe it.
A lot of anxiety has to do with your mindset at the time. Your heart is pounding, sweat dripping down your face. And your throat seems very dry. You can barely speak. It's normal to feel this way. If you can, try to laugh about it, tell yourself it is not the end of the world and the moment will soon pass. Try as much as possible to enjoy your performance. While performing, imagine you are a kid in your bedroom having fun. Just go with the flow. Don't try too hard to impress.
Scared of messing it up.
Trust me. Your fans are tolerant. They won't even know if you made a mistake or not. Just don't stop playing. Keep the party going and adjust along the way. Always prepare for the best but expect anything. Be Flexible and open-minded when you play. Every famous DJ you can think of as made mistakes, and they continue to make mistakes. They never stop because no one notices or cares as long as they have fun.
Even if they notice, no one cares as long as they get a chance to jump around and have fun. So never stop the party, keep it going no matter what. It is not the end of the world, and it is not the end of your career. Just have fun with it.
Prepare well, but expect anything.
There's no such thing as perfect preparation. No matter how much you prepare, some things are just out of your control. This is the industry you find yourself so deal with it. It is not always your fault. Just be ready to perform and have fun.
Remember your best performance.
This is a quick way to change your mood and get you feeling excited again. The thought of past great performances can elevate your mood. The same feeling you had during that performance will be activated. This is how you turn a moody vibe into an upbeat and excited one. If it is your first gig, think of a fond memory when playing.
Pick a target.
Another trick is to pick a target — usually someone upbeat and enjoying your performance. Feed off their energy by continually checking with them, keeping eye contact. You will be amazed at how this takes off the edge and keeps you relaxed. Imagine you are playing for them and do everything to impress them. Lockout everyone else and focus on your target. If you lose your target, pick the next one and continue with the process.
Take a deep breath.
If you feel like you are not connecting with the audience or your songs are not hitting the right spots, then take a deep breath. It might be because you feel like you are losing control or you feel like you are messing things up. Just pause, take deep breaths and continue. Anxiety causes shallow breathing leading to racing heartbeats. So slow things down and breathe slowly.
Anxiety will never disappear, unfortunately. Whether you are a pro or just a beginner dealing with anxiety is something that never goes away. Just learn to deal with it and use it to your benefit. That is what the greatest DJs have done over the years. They enjoy anxiety. It is their superpower. They can use it to take their game to the next level. Learn to do the same.

Guanyu Zhou has been named as a member of the Renault Sport Academy for 2019, following his departure from Ferrari's own Formula 1 junior programme.
The 19-year-old had been part of the Ferrari Driver Academy but was released at the end of 2018, having finished eighth in the European Formula 3 championship for a second successive year.
Zhou claimed a breakthrough pair of European F3 wins with Prema last year and will make the move up to Formula 2 for 2019 with the rebranded UNI-Virtuosi squad that has taken over Russian Time's entry.
Five Storylines to look out for in F1 2019
"It's a huge honour to join Renault Sport Racing as an Academy member and the Formula 1 Team's Development Driver and I can't wait to get started," Zhou said.
"Renault has big ambitions – both for the Formula 1 team and the Academy – and that's something which motivates me."
The Chinese racer tested F2 machinery with Russian Time at the post-season F2 test in Abu Dhabi prior to the takeover, which was confirmed in early December.
Zhou will combine his F2 commitments alongside a development role at the Enstone-based outfit.
Renault Sport Academy Director, Mia Sharizman added: "We're excited to reveal Guanyu as a Renault Sport Academy member and the team's Formula 1 Development Driver for this year.
"Guanyu has shown his ability as an excellent driver in the competitive European Formula 3 Championship.
"We've been monitoring Guanyu for some time and we're very happy to sign him onto the young driver programme.
"In Guanyu, we have a hard-working, talented individual and we will be aiming to further develop him this season in the Formula 2 Championship."

Hollow Laughter
Market Update by Todd Market Forecast
26861 Trabuco Rd., Mission Viejo, Calif.
Jan. 10: One of Ben Bernanke's lines made me laugh out loud. He said that in the months and years ahead, there would be a lot of discussion about what went wrong with the credit markets and what not to do in the future. Earth to Bernanke: All you had to do was check with...any citizen of Main Street with a modicum of common sense. We would have told you that negative amortization loans are not a good idea. How about loans without documentation?...Main Street also doesn't think it's a good idea to ship jobs, know-how and capital overseas, but 99% of Wall Street elites and academia think it's an excellent idea.
Now let's talk about gold. The yellow metal made an all-time high, and it looks to be going higher...there are no guarantees, but measured-move theory suggests we may be only halfway through the current up move.
-- Steve Todd
Crude and Crops Are Tops
Commodity-Based FX Basket by Brown Brothers Harriman
140 Broadway, New York, N.Y. 10005
Jan. 10: If you just looked at commodity prices, you'd be hard-pressed to see how a global growth slowdown is being priced in...Oil is hovering just below $100, while gold, corn, sugar, cotton and soybeans are all making new highs...We just put on a commodity [foreign-exchange] basket comprised of equal parts [Australian dollar, Norwegian krone and Chilean peso], all long against the U.S. dollar. These are among the best [currencies] in terms of underlying economic fundamentals, and have the benefit of high or still-rising interest rates.

Realigning Our Universe
Market Views by Subodh Kumar & Associates
Thorncrest Box 60006, Toronto, Canada M9A
Jan. 10: We see 2008 as fundamentally distinct from 2007, with volatility spillover in the first half...We believe that a more realistic global assessment for growth is 4% to 4½%, not 5% to 5½%. We see the integration of U.S. prospects and global growth as more crucial than the so-called decoupling arguments of mid-'07. Our sector-mix and geographic-mix assessments reflect as much -- with financials having moved up from Underweight to Market Weight; consumer-discretionary still Underweight due to the U.S consumer drag; [and] telecommunications now down to Market Weight, with its strong performance in recent years; and a balance toward quality growth from staples to health care to portions of industrials.

Business Leaders' Pullback
Snapshot Business Confidence Index by National City
1900 E. 9th St., Cleveland, Ohio 44114
Jan. 8: National City's Business Confidence Index dropped one percentage point to a new low of 62.5 in December. The composite number reflects a 1.7-percentage-point plunge in the economic-outlook index and a 0.2-percentage-point drop in the hiring-plans index. Businesses have a more conservative approach to forward-looking investments, such as durable-goods orders and hiring. Pullbacks in such long-term commitments reflect lackluster confidence...Durable-goods orders... [have fallen] about 7% over the last four months. Employment growth, also a signal of attitude toward long-term commitment, is similarly decelerating.

"Limpflation" Ahead
A U.K. Perspective on the Markets by Cass Business School
106 Bunhill Row, London EC1, England
Jan. 7: While a return to the stagflation of the 1970s is very unlikely, a period of limp growth and above-target inflation [or] "limpflation"... might emerge.... The possibility of this outlook for '08 relates to two key shocks the global economy [faces]: the credit crunch and record real oil prices....The eurozone looks better-placed [than the U.S.] to weather both storms, because policy rates are, arguably, still broadly neutral, and because levels of personal-sector indebtedness in the euro area are far lower than in the U.K. or U.S.

Dissecting the Sectors
Market Insight by New Amsterdam Wealth Management
18 Rivers Rd., East Hampton, N.Y. 11937
Jan. 7: Here are our target trading ranges for 2008: Standard & Poor's 500, 1609.70 to 1405.6; the Dow, 14,442.94 to 12,587.15; Nasdaq, 2930.37 to 2488.09; 10-year yield, 6.48 to 3.65....
Sector selection will be the key in 2008. Don't bottom-fish financials until they have completely cleaned up their balance sheets; don't look at [them] until the second half of '08. Focus on growth opportunities and inflation-protection. Recommended portfolio allocation: stock indexes, 40%; alternative investments, 35%; fixed-income/cash, 25%; portfolio positioning, neutral to slightly bullish.

Monthly Snapshot/Mack Tracks by Mack Investment Securities

Yet Fed actions may encourage an even bigger monster...In just the third quarter, led by bets on interest rates, derivatives (due to subprime turmoil) surged 27%, to...$681 trillion! For perspective: U.S. gross domestic product is $14 trillion; the complete U.S. stock-market capitalization is [under] $13 trillion.

Watching for Insider Buying
Sy Harding's Street Smart Report by Asset Management Research

Apple Is Betting on Streaming. Here's Who Wins and Who Loses.
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Apple has been tight-lipped about its plans for enhanced streaming services, which are expected to be unveiled on Monday. But analysts are already trying to handicap who could be the biggest winners and losers from the announcement.
News reports have hinted at the details of what the event might bring, but Apple has held its cards close to its chest. It didn't respond to a Barron's request for more information.
The back story. SunTrust Robinson Humphrey analyst Matthew Thornton wrote in a note to clients on Thursday that he expects Apple will release a streaming service that includes third-party content as well as its own shows. Starz and Showtime are reportedly on board, Thornton notes. The company has also signed deals with Steven Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey, among others, for Apple's own content.
Editor's Choice
Although Apple has previously offered its own streaming TV shows, the new service is a larger step and could affect other companies too.
What's new. Thornton sees Lions Gate Entertainment (LGF.B) as being among the biggest winners from the Apple service. The premium cable channel Starz accounts for about 65% of Lions Gate's profit, he notes, and a deal with Apple could help the channel reach many new viewers. Starz declined to comment on whether it will be on the platform.
The competitive pressure isn't a great thing for Netflix (NFLX), but Thornton expects any repercussions to be relatively minor. "From where we sit today, we do not expect any impact to be meaningful to Netflix," he wrote.
It could also be a minor negative for Spotify (SPOT), but only if Apple connects the video offering to its music offering, Thornton asserted. "IF Apple bundles Apple Music with video subscriptions and news subscriptions, this would be an incremental negative for Spotify," he wrote. "From where we sit today, we would expect any impact to be manageable."
The impact to Roku (ROKU) will vary considerably based on whether Apple offers the Roku Channel on its new service, and whether Roku offers the Apple app. If the companies end up competing, Thornton considers it "a modest incremental negative as Apple is competing for Content Distribution revenue (e.g. someone signing up for Starz or Showtime via Apple is not signing up for those services via Roku)."
Looking ahead. Unlike Apple's market-moving hardware announcements, this event seems less likely to be game-changing. Apple isn't a dominant player in streaming, and its prior shows have largely been duds. Any impact is likely to play out over a longer period.
It probably doesn't make sense to buy or sell stocks based solely on fear or excitement about Apple streaming.

My faithful companion HALIBUT
An inflatable fishing kayak that brings a new dimension to fishing. Now you can enjoy fishing even in poorly accessible and remote locations. German fisherwoman Babs Kijewski tests it for the long term, how is she satisfied?
"I have been testing the inflatable kayak HALIBUT for one year. It has become a faithful companion on my fishing trips around the world. My kayak has been in Canada twice, a lot of times in Florida, Germany, France, Netherlands, Spain and the Canary Islands," says German fisherwoman Babs Kijewski.
In some waters, it is difficult to catch a big fish. Motorboats often scare away the fish. Also, fishing in very flat areas is now possible. The extra large fish are super shy and difficult to catch. If they hear engine noise, they are gone. I lay down my montages with my kayak. It is super quiet! And it works," praises Babs.
Absolute pluses for me:
- Small pack size, perfect to take it on the car or plane
- You need no big storage area
- It is super fast quick to set up
- Very robust material, very good quality
- Silently and fast on the water
Flexible in a different kind of fishing (Trolling, drift fishing, spin fishing, bring out the montages for Carp or Catfish)
A fishing boat that fits in your car. The freedom of the halibut.
Take your fishing boat with you wherever you want.
