Why the incidence of AIDS is headed south in Tamil Nadu4 min read . Updated: 30 Nov 2009, 11:11 PM IST
Why the incidence of AIDS is headed south in Tamil Nadu
Chennai: Inside a bylane in central Chennai, up a narrow flight of stairs of a two-storeyed building, erstwhile Bollywood star Madhuri Dixit's comeback movie's title song Aaja Nachle is blasting from a television set as two boys in their 20s enthusiastically mirror her moves and expressions.
"The reason for Tamil Nadu's successful reining in of HIV/AIDS lies in innovative actions such as police advocacy, which has improved their understanding of our population (MSM), reduced harassment and created an enabling environment," says Jayasheelan, a confident and vocal peer educator at the centre, in Tamil.
The police advocacy programme, one of the several interventions and education efforts supported by the Tamil Nadu government to mainstream AIDS education, has so far trained at least 17,000 police personnel via presentations by the high-HIV-risk groups that are frequently targeted by the police—MSM, injected drug users and female sex workers.
Tamil Nadu, once grouped with Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra as a high HIV-prevalence state, has in recent years earned the title of being a "trailblazer" for successfully reversing the AIDS epidemic by measures that include educating small store owners and increasing the number of outlets selling condoms in the state from 15,000 in 1999 to 35,000 today.
This southern state, populated by about 70 million people, has seen HIV prevalence among pregnant women, a key indicator, drop to 0.36% in 2006 from 1.59% in 2000, according to the National AIDS Control Organisation, or Naco. Adult HIV prevalence in 2007 stood at 0.34% in Tamil Nadu, compared with 0.62% in Maharashtra, 0.69% in Karnataka, 0.97% in Andhra Pradesh and 1.13% in Manipur.
"Tamil Nadu's politicians did not turn a blind eye to the issue or deny it. Instead, they proactively allocated funds for the cause," says S. Vijay Kumar, project director of Tansac, who is also a medical doctor.
Today, the number of integrated counselling and testing centres, which were pioneered in Tamil Nadu for HIV/AIDS, has soared from 65 in 2004 to 835, the highest in the country, according to Tansac data. Several Indian states are benchmarking and replicating practices embraced in Tamil Nadu. The success of its measures is also attributed to partnerships with close to 94 non-profit groups which work with sections of society vulnerable to the disease.
A key objective for non-profit educators such as Jayasheelan of Sahodaran is to patrol hot spots such as Marina Beach in Chennai for MSMs who are commercial sex workers. He usually befriends them and casually requests them to visit a drop-in centre. The HIV/AIDS education happens only after they come into the infotainment area and get comfortable with the environment that induces a willingness to learn about key preventive measures such as condom usage.
At another drop-in centre at Perambur in north Chennai, injected drug users are pouring in. Around noon, about 15 of them converge in a small room on the first floor of a building, at least two of them HIV-positive, most of them frail, and some dizzy and nodding off.
G. Gasper, a former drug addict and now president of Hopers Foundation, which runs the Perambur centre, has the job of offering drug users new syringes in exchange for old ones. Often, he goes out and collects used syringes from dark street corners where drug users inject themselves.
"We've also started a harm-reduction programme using opioid substitutes, where we offer them an oral form of the drug to get them off the injections that are rife with risk and also create abscesses" when they hit the wrong spot, says Gasper, a one-time air-conditioning mechanic who became an HIV/AIDS counsellor more than a decade ago.
One area that Tamil Nadu still grapples with is the education of female sex workers. While Kamathipura in Mumbai or Sonagachi in Kolkata are demarcated as red-light areas, Chennai's sex workers are largely married women from low-income families dispersed in various parts of the city.
"Usually clients are unwilling to wear a condom, so we sometimes cajole them like kids lovingly mentioning the safety of their wives or children or sometimes we lie that we are infected to scare them into putting on protection," says a 32-year-old former flower seller and mother of two children. She picks her stock of free condoms from a drop-in centre in south Chennai that she heard of from a friend.
Constant overtures from auto drivers who used to buy flowers from her, coupled with an alcoholic and suspicious husband who refused to support the family, pushed her into the trade. Her family doesn't know about it.
Though Tamil Nadu has recorded a drop in HIV infections among commercial sex workers, spreading the word is getting more challenging.
"It is getting tougher to organize and educate the commercial sex workers in Tamil Nadu using peer education as more and more of them use cellphones to solicit clients instead of hanging out with their friends to pick up customers," says Bimal Charles, project director of the Chennai-based AIDS Prevention and Control Project that gets funding from the United States Agency for International Development. "So we are looking at sending text messages in Tamil to bring them to a central place for distribution of condoms or to update their information on sexually transmitted diseases."

Painters and Decorators Services in Kildalkey
Are you considering giving your home or business a new look? Do you need to repaint after a tenant has vacated your property? Do you have to repair water stains on ceilings and walls or over walls in which mold has been removed? It could be tempting to do the job yourself, which can result in cost savings. But, there are many reasons you should consider selecting a professional painter and decorator support.
Costs of Equipment
Good painting of interiors or exteriors necessitates an investment in gear — brushes, rollers, sprayers, tarp to protect surfaces and surfaces, ladders, scaffolding, sanders, compound knifes, patching materials, solvents, the listing can quickly become long and expensive. Hiring a professional painter and decorator usually means that the painter comes will all of the tools that they will need to do the job correctly, will clean up those tools whenever they are completed and will require them away to be saved elsewhere.
Protection of Your Property and Avoiding a Mess
A professional painter and decorator will have the right equipment and be knowledgeable and experienced with how to shield furniture, flooring, cabinets, walkways and other things which you don't want painted from any damage. If your work entails staining, a professional will have the right equipment and experience to use the stain properly to achieve the perfect finish and once attained, protect the finish.
A professional painter may also thoroughly clean the work area when the project is completed.
Planning is Essential
A professional painter and painter will know that preparation is the trick to a good looking, long lasting paint job. The walls or other surfaces which have to be painted might need to be thoroughly cleaned, patched, decreased and/or primed. Areas with mold or water staining may require additional treatment and patching before they are ready for a last paint job. It's a good deal of work and if it's not done correctly with appropriate instruments and techniques, it will not result in an excellent finish.
Skills and Patience
Painting takes patience to generate a gorgeous quality finish and it also takes skill that is developed with training and expertise. An expert will understand how to complete each of the preparation and painting jobs involved to reach the best effect.
A professional painter will also know the substances which are needed to do the job correctly. Which primer will offer the correct coverage? Latex or oil? Matte, semi-gloss, high gloss? Which primer foundation is demanded? What paint base? Should the wall be prepared with drywall compound or plaster? Spray or roller?
A professional painter will be able to recommend materials which are best to achieve the look you need, while avoiding any damage to your surfaces. With that information, you can achieve a greater quality finish that will last.
For exterior jobs, a professional will know the ideal weather, temperature and sun conditions to complete the job with the best results. Stains respond differently in direct sunshine than when it's overcast, and at several temperatures. While rain clearly affects the job, humidity and heat may also affect the quality of exterior paint finishes. A regional professional painter will know the proper materials to use to make your exterior last as long as possible in Dublin's climate.
Climbing on ladders while trying to apply paint properly is a skilled job which requires careful attention and focus to avoid serious harm and damage. The higher the website which needs painting, the higher the risk for an accident. For interior projects with high areas or exterior jobs, a professional painter will have all the resources and experience required to do the job correctly and safely, including the right dimensions and design of ladder and scaffolding.
Your time is precious and painting yourself takes a substantial amount of time. Using a professional painter and decorator deal with the job for you can save you days and times of effort, and can normally be achieved in a much shorter period of time.
A study from Trinity College Dublin suggests the average Irish man needs 28 hours per day to accomplish all his or her tasks. Avoid including a paint job into that and talk to a professional painter about your needs.

Want to know how to choose the right currency pair to trade? Realise first of all that currency pairs are different so there is no one-size-fits-all strategy. Sort them according to their level of volatility, their trading pattern and their performance then pick one according to your strategy and fits your psychology.
If you are able to pick winning currency pairs but often end up with slower moving ones, this blog post could help you improve your trading performance. If you have a consistent winning record with some forex pairs but fail to make headway with others, read on.
Currency pairs behave differently
Different performance over time
Many currency pairs appear to move together in the same direction i.e. display high level of positive correlation. Closer scrutiny however reveals that over a period of time, they deliver different levels of performance. So a forex trader might be able to ride a winning trend but end up holding a slow performer.
Tip: When you have a group of currency pairs moving in the same direction, picking the strongest pair can deliver you outperformance.
Different volatility over time
A comparison of AUDUSD and GBPUSD performance over different time durations also shows that they are very different.
These two tables show volatility in pips moved per hour of day between AUDUSD (left) and GBPUSD. This volatility is based on the average movement at each hour tracked over 10 weeks. Look at number vertical axis on left side of each table. Very prominently, GBPUSD has a higher movement in number of pips moved.
Tip: Choose a currency pair that is active in your timezone especially if you are a day trader.
These two tables below show volatility in pips moved per day of the week between AUDUSD (left) and GBPUSD. The numbers here represent average over 10 weeks. Look at number vertical axis on left side of each table. GBPUSD not only has a higher full day movement than AUDUSD, both currency pairs show clearly different performance day to day.
Tip: If you do not have the luxury to trade full time, plan your trades around your other activities.
These two charts show AUDUSD and GBPUSD weekly high – low average from 2010 to present. The clear takeaway from these tables show that GBPUSD's weekly volatility tends to be over 100 pips and at the extreme end exceeds 200 pips. Compared to GBPUSD, AUDUSD has tighter movement.
Tip: Currency pairs are different. Some are stable and some are wild. Pick one that fits you.
Some pairs are just not meant for trading
These two tables show daily price action (top) and 60-minute price action of USDHKD. Hong Kong Monetary Authority pegged the Hong Kong Dollar to the USD in a Linked Exchange Rate System or LERS so USDHKD is trapped within a managed range. There is very little directional movement; intraday and even day to day candles are most inside bars so there is virtual no room for short term trading.
Tip: Visual inspection can tell you if a currency pair is suitable for trading. Some have very little movement. Some are full of false signals.
Additional tips for currency traders 'How to pick the right pair to trade'
- Currency pairs may go through different episodes where they fluctuate wildly. These are driven by special events or policies. It could be a 'one-time deal' like Brexit or it could be cyclical like parliamentary elections. Some are fleeting while others persist for a while. Keep yourself update with these development.
- Choose a forex pair that fits your psychology. If you are risk averse, a pair with tighter movement hour to hour or day to day will make you feel more at ease than a pair like GBPUSD that has wider movement. Being at ease means that you are less challenged to make mistakes. If you are not averse to risk, high volatility pairs like GBPUSD could be just for you. There are other pairs such as GBPCHF and GNPJPY that have even higher volatility.
- Since each currency pair is different, there is no one-size-fits-all trading strategy. If you have a strategy that uses a fixed 50 pips stop loss for example, it is clear that 50 pips stop loss might be adequate for a tight moving pair but inadequate for a currency pair that has wider volatility. Choose a currency pair that fits your strategy – high volatility, high potential for gain, high potential for loss, requires higher tolerance or lower volatility, lesser potential for gain, less potential loss, lower tolerance and more at ease.
- Traders should have a clear plan and choose the right pair to execute the plan. If you are a day trader and use a trend following strategy, choosing a pair that has a lot of intra-day movement may be the right thing to do. Choosing a pair that is inactive could just make you tear your hair out.
- Keep track of relative performance between currency pairs. If you find pairs that have very high correlation, put them into a group and track their relative performance. Make use of performance tools to separate them by performance. Being able to go long the strongest or short the weakest all the time will deliver you outperformance. This topic is covered here in more detail.

Violins, cellos, violas and the double bass have always been Priscilla Hallberg�s life passion, and she�d like to hear more people playing them in southwest Kansas.
Hallberg is the executive director and lead teacher of the String Academy of the Plains, a school dedicated to teaching aspiring string musicians of all ages throughout southwest Kansas.
Through the academy, Hallberg has been able to share her love of music and teach others. More than three years ago, in March 2012, she took her passion one step further when she started the Strings and Friends Concert Series.
Her hope was that by bringing professional string musicians to Garden City, it would do even more to inspire her students, as well as entertain area music lovers.
Hallberg said part of the intent of the Strings and Fiends Concert Series was to bring high caliber musicians to Garden City, something she felt was lacking in the community.
�I found it was possible to bring people out here,� she said.
But Hallberg also saw the opportunity to make instruction a part of the concert series by having the visiting musicians work with local string music students.
�When I started (asking people to come), I knew it would be a good thing to have classes with master artists and to allow students to make connections with them, some who were college professors,� she said.
She and her husband, Gordon, attended the Roland Fiddle Camp in Colorado in 2012, and were so impressed with the group Run Boy Run that she invited them to Garden City.
She attracted the Harrington String Quartet of Texas, and lined up a performance with her trio, Las Tres Gitanas, and all three performed at the same event.
That local concert was the first of many that Hallberg has helped organize.
Over time, she was able to convince Ohio jazz violinist Christian Howe and his trio, fiddle player Dan Levinson, concert violinist Brian Lewis and Fort Hays cellist Ben Cline to travel to and perform in Garden City.
She also was able to attract Elizabeth Suh Lane from Kansas City and Beau Bledsoe from Arkansas, who teamed together Oct. 10 to play classical and Spanish music.
The most recent concert, on Nov. 14, featured cellist Stephen Feldman, an associate professor of cello at the University of Central Arkansas. Hallberg performed on the violin and Linda Adams, a local resident, was the pianist at Feldman�s performance.
She said local string players and her students were able to see Feldman perform, and 10 students performed for him.
Next up for the concert series is a special visit on Dec. 19 by Grammy Award winning and world renowned conductor John McLaughlin Williams.
For this event, Hallberg is seeking community participation as she is hoping to assemble an orchestra of string musicians from around the region to be led by the famous conductor, who has received critical acclaim for his interpretive abilities and engaging podium presence.
Hallberg thinks Williams� presence could entice string musicians to come together to create an orchestra. She said she needs at least 25 performers, and so far, she has 12.
�I hope it fosters a series of community players,� she said.
Hallberg is hoping that the combination of her string academy and the concert series will get more young people interested in string music.
While most public schools in Kansas have bands, the only high schools in southwest Kansas that use string instruments are in Dodge City and Garden City, which, she said, is a little disheartening.
�Learn to play at a young age,� she said. �It�s really good to play young.�
When there is a shortage of funds in a musical program, the strings portion is almost always the first part that is cut, she said.
�We don�t have a real strong classical drive here, and we should,� she said. �Kids don�t have anything and have never heard of a concert violinist.(Classical music) is the bedrock of culture.�
As for the upcoming concert with Williams, Hallberg hopes to find interested musicians from Finney County, southwest Kansas, and even surrounding states. She said the question is how to build an orchestra by the time Williams comes to Garden City.
�We will go after everyone we can find,� she said.
She said the Dec. 19 Christmas concert will include songs celebrating the holiday season. The concert is free, but donations will be accepted, and those will be used for string academy scholarships.
Hallberg does not know where the concert will be held, saying it depends on the size of the orchestra. She said it could be at Garden City Community College or Garden City High School, since school will not be in session on Dec. 19.
People interested in joining Hallberg�s orchestra can contact her at either (620) 275-4379, (620) 290-3168 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Future Strings and Friends concerts include Texas violinist Brian Lewis returning to Garden City in February and Toronto violinist Erika Raum visiting in May.

Learn more from those who know us best—the people who live at Duncaster. Then come see for yourself!
"Phil and I really like Duncaster. After 45 years in our 10-room house in West Hartford, it is a relief to downsize and just enjoy our sunny apartment, pleasant views, interesting activities and delightful companions. The beautiful dining venues provide a lively setting for good food and conversation. We have always enjoyed being involved with fascinating people in organizations, politics and families, so a move to the congenial and stimulating community of Duncaster seemed like a natural next step. We have never regretted the decision."
– Phil & Katie Reynolds (former Mayor of West Hartford)
"Why am I at Duncaster? Getting older can mean loneliness, boredom, declining health, dependence on busy family members. But not if you give that all up and move to Duncaster. We have special programs from art and authors to history and world affairs, bridge groups, movies and lectures. There are exercise classes, a 75-foot pool and state-of-the-art exercise machines. So you see it is hard to be bored. We have a Hartford Hospital health clinic on campus and a highly rated nursing center. Family from near or far can visit and stay whenever you invite them. Make an appointment to take a tour and see everything Duncaster has to offer. I love it here. Bet you will too."
– Mrs. Barbara Gibbs
"There is never a dull moment at Duncaster, with the movies, book clubs, university courses, arts and crafts, swimming pool, gym, and best of all — new friends."
– Mrs. Jane Carpenter
"One of the things that appealed to us about Duncaster was the fact that it is a true community. It's small enough to know everyone. It's so special when your neighbors become your friends."
— Marcia Hincks
"The staff is amazing. When we moved in we met Pearl, a wonderful housekeeper. She said, 'Hincks—I used to know a Hincks who lived here!' Well that was my mother! There is something wonderful about an organization that can hire bright, cheerful people and keep them on the staff for 25 years."
— John Hincks
"Duncaster is beautifully laid out and well-built, just the place for us to live in our retirement, with a friendly, caring staff, varied activities and a medical clinic protected from any inclement weather under one roof. And our far-flung children don't have to worry about the possible need for long-term care in our declining years."

We've been fixing our foreheads and smile lines for years and years with Juvederm and Botox, but the newest filler on the market, Belotero, is the solution for saggy, aging necks. And word on the street is that it ain't bad for saggy chin action, either.
A telltale sign of aging, neck lines and creases begin to form as the skin starts losing its elasticity and natural collagen production is reduced. Skin loses elasticity through years of sun exposure and normal changes in hormone levels. Aging skin also becomes thinner and dryer, leading to wrinkling of the neck through repetitive movement and positioning. Without enough collagen and elasticity, the skin is unable to fully return to its normal position.
"Dermal fillers are often used to treat lines and wrinkles of the face, and now it is also possible to rid the neck of creases as well," says Joseph Eviatar, M.D., Oculofacial Plastic Surgeon and Surgical Director of Chelsea Eye & Cosmetic Surgery Associates in NYC. "Belotero, the latest dermal filler from the UK which has recently been approved for use in the US is the perfect option."
Belotero is a unique, hyaluranic acid, dermal filler that seamlessly integrates with the skin and adapts to skin contours and plumps and adds volume to lines and creases of the neck. Because Belotero is made of the same volumizing and moisturizing component of the skin and spreads evenly in the neck folds, Dr. Eviatar has found it to be a natural fit for neck rejuvenation.
"The difference is both related to the composition of Belotero, and the technique of injection," explains Eviatar. "Injections with Belotero are performed more superficially. A"tyndell effect" (a darkening of the skin or blue hue) can sometimes occur with other HA products if they are injected superficially and this effect is less likely with Belotero." Additionally, Belotero has a thinner consistency which allows the doctor to gently and instantly fill the finest of lines. One treatment of Belotero was shown in clinical studies to last from 9 to 12 months.
A good candidate for Belotero is someone between the ages of 30 and 60 with neck creases and lines without overly lax or hanging skin. "Belotero is an exciting option for those who do not need a surgical necklift or who want some instant improvement," says Dr. Eviatar.

Liam Neeson is back to his revenge-havin' ways, albeit with a twist. Summit Entertainment has released the first trailer for the upcoming thriller Cold Pursuit, which is a remake of a 2014 Norwegian thriller called In Order of Disappearance. Neeson plays a mild-mannered, well-liked family man who drives a snowplow and lives a nice life with his loving wife (played by the incomparable Laura Dern). But his very nice life is suddenly upended when his son dies of a heroin overdose—or at least that's the story. Neeson's character becomes embroiled in a drug cartel as he seeks revenge for his son's death, kickin' ass and takin' names.
While that sounds familiar given Neeson's post-Taken output, the trailer actually does offer something of a unique twist: this movie is funny. Indeed, there appears to be an undercurrent of dark humor running throughout the film, made perfectly clear by the striking use of Blue Oyster Cult in this here trailer. If you want to see Neeson back in a meaty dramatic part check out Widows later this year (it's great), but while Cold Pursuit teases his return to the action-thriller genre, at least he's doing it with a sense of humor. Moreover, the film is directed by Hans Petter Moland, who helmed the Norwegian original.
Check out the Cold Pursuit trailer below. Written by Frank Baldwin, the film also stars Emmy Rossum and Tom Bateman. Cold Pursuit opens in theaters on February 8th.

How to Convert Emails Into Blog Post ContentYour Website
So you've finally decided to start blogging for your nonprofit.
You've done the research about different blogging platforms, and had even outlined a strategy for topics that are based on what your supporters want and how people search for you on Google.
But you've got one small problem: Who's going to write all of these blog posts?
This is a question most nonprofits have when starting a blog, so you're not alone.
The good news is that, hidden within in the thousands of emails you've sent over the past few years, exists fodder rich in blogging nutrients.
Blogging fodder in your sent Folder
If you go back to your blog strategy, you realize that your main objective for blogging is to answer the most common questions in ways that are very specific and useful. The more specific the question, the more useful the answer will be, which means more readers and higher rankings in search.
Chances are you've already answered these questions over and over and over again in email.
Here are 8 steps to converting these emails into blog posts:
1. Select your fodder.
Find the emails that contain answers that would be useful to anyone, and not just the recipient. For example an email answering a question from a breast cancer patient about what to eat during chemotherapy.
2. Write the title.
Writing the title first helps you focus on the specific topic throughout the writing process.
3. Carve out the leftovers.
You might realize that there are actually more than one blog post with in a given email. If this is the case, simply save the rest of the email for another blog post.
4. Trim the fat.
Cut the word count down by 50%. You can do this. 🙂
5. Add subheadings.
People scan the web–they don't read it. Make sure you break up your blog posts with subheadings every 2 paragraphs (like in this example).
6. Add an image.
I've done a lot of A/B testing around images at the top of blog posts, and have generally found that images help readers stick around longer. Find an image that captures the essence of your article and place it just under the title. They'll also make your post more sharable.
7. Optimize your meta-tags.
A title tag is the main title of a webpage that search engines index. It's visible in the title bar of a browser and in the headings of search engine results (as shown below).
8. Get another pair of eyes.
Have a friend or another staff member read your blog post and ask them what to cut or add. Time how long it takes for them to read your post.
Done Beats perfect
At some point, you will need to hit the "Publish" button. Don't go for perfect. Perfect never gets done. Instead get your blog post to about 70% of where you want it. In other words, get it to where it's a little better than "good enough." Then hit publish.
What do you think?

Ijien Crater Lake
Banyuwangi - 24th September
[From: "Danny Yee" <email@example.com>] The fires were not a problem - in the morning it was clear that they were the remnants of old fires, not the harbringers of new ones. The landscape is a bit desolate, but not dangerous. It was a pleasant walk up to Ijien crater - a 500m climb over 3km - but enough to lose the Austrians. The lake is an unearthly shade of blue that I hope my camera captured , and the whole site is really beautiful. (The water is at about 50C, too hot to swim in.) We were the only tourists on the mountain, but there were lots of men carrying sulphur down from the crater. Sulphur is extracted from metal pipes placed on the waterline at the base of the crater, and from there packed into baskets and carried up to the rim, from where it is a long but downhill trek to a waiting truck. Using two baskets on a pole balanced on their shoulders, the men carry between 40 and 80kg at a time, for a wage around 100Rp a kilogram - about A$4 a day, but good money by Indonesian standards. It must be backbreaking work, but they seem cheerful enough (they all ask for ciagrettes, which can't bee good for them!). I chatted with the workers a bit and wandered around the crater, then headed back to Paltuding. There I learnt some more Javanese from the National Parks officers, and we all laughed at some middle class Indonesians who had come all the way from Jember but were too unfit to climb to the crater. Then I walked down with the suphur carriers and caught a ride with the sulphur truck through the clove (kretek) and papaya plantations. When I transferred to a bus the driver was real keen on setting me up with a prostitute, and kept asking if I liked schoolgirls - even though there were a couple on the bus with us! The Hotel Baru is good value for money - a really nice double room with a bathroom (mandi) for just 8000, and free breakfast and soap. Tomorrow I'm off to Bali. P.S. A losmen is a cheap hotel, and a warung is a streetside food stall.

Djokovic conqueror Bautista Agut targeting top 10
Roberto Bautista Agut has his sights set on the world's top 10 after a dream run at the Qatar Open.
The Spaniard clinched his ninth ATP Tour title on Saturday by beating Tomas Berdych 6-4 3-6 6-3.
Bautista Agut overcame three-time grand slam champion Stan Wawrinka in the quarter-finals and then stunned world number one Novak Djokovic in the last four to reach the showpiece.
And, on the back of one of the best weeks of his career, the world number 24 sees no reason why he cannot make his way into the top 10.

"It's always a very tough draw, very tough tournament with a lot of good players in the draw. And when I started the week, I was feeling good with the ball," said Bautista Agut.
"I was enjoying practising. I was playing match by match and since the first moment of the tournament until the last point, I felt really good on the court.
"It was a great start to the season. I wish to feel good physically, mentally, like I am now, like I felt this week.
"And if this happens, I think I can get better in the rankings, and why not be closer to the Top 10?"

My kids love to make crafts, especially for Christmas. I have been looking for easy Christmas crafts for kids that can be made out of wood because they tend to last longer and make a great keepsake, or gift. Also, since I teach art to young kids, I am always looking for new ideas that are easy enough for 3-6 year olds. My kids came up with these Christmas trees and I just love them! We decided to use different shades of green for the trees. They painted 35 small wooden cubes green, and then one yellow one for the star.
Once they were painted, they glued them in rows into the shape of a tree. (This was a great problem solving and math activity!) We used tacky glue, but white glue or hot glue would work too. Once everything was dry, they decorated their trees.
My kids used puffy paint for some of the details and then added some beads to look like ornaments.
The trees can be put together as either a 2-D tree or it can be 3-D. We later added a string so that it could be used as an ornament.
I like the fact that they are kid made. They can be put together and then decorated in many different ways. They also make a great gift from kids!

February 2018: the Month of the Rebound (Conferences, Futures, Trends, and Regulation)
February should be one of the best month's on record for the cryptocurrency world. Within two weeks the Dallas SuperConference approaches and it has already completely sold out and an alternative venue cleverly named the "Soft Fork" convention, is also almost sold out. Between conferences, positive government regulation, and futures traders pushing the market North we should be in store for a rebound we all deserve.
State of the Market
The current market capitalization of the entire crypto market is approximately $430 billion according to Coinmarketcap, a sharp decline from January 7 when the market cap had just surpassed $800 billion. In the last three weeks there has been an almost a 50 percent correction. However, corrections of this magnitude, although scary, are very healthy for the market. Bitcoin (BTC) and the entire crypto market had a unfathomable growth rate for 2017.
What goes up must eventually come down. However, what goes down must also eventually go back up. Bitcoin and the crypto markets as a whole have had multiple instances where they've decreased by 30-60 percent in the last two years. These huge corrections are followed by new all-time highs (ATHs) within sixty days.
If BTC and the crypto markets continue to follow this trend the month of February shall be one of the most bullish months on record with the crypto markets hitting their new ATH between March and May. Larger corrections generally take a longer period of time to recover, but February has many catalysts that should jump-start the rebound and end the January bear raid.
Most weak hands are shaking currently. No one enjoys losing 30-60 percent of their portfolio in one month. However, those same people need to realize they were making 100 percent a month, month over month, for almost a year. Corrections do take place. They must be expected so when they occur there is not panic throughout the entire investment space. Most individuals get accustomed to their gains and refuse to expect losses. This is investing; there are many swings.
Crypto is closer to gambling than investing, and in gambling the swings are a roller coaster ride. In the crypto trading space, you have to expect to have 100 percent months but also have months where you lose 50 percent. January was the month of FUD, with horrible news coming out of South Korea, China and India to start the month. January is also customarily the month financial markets correct around the world (following their boom around the Christmas holidays). The crypto markets adopted this trend this year (and prior years) resulting in a sharp correction this prior month. However, February has many catalysts that should create a rebound of equal proportions.
February Catalysts
The strongest catalysts for February include; the futures trader betting BTC increases in value, conferences, and prior trends. Each of these catalysts individually may not have provided significant market momentum, but when all three are coupled together, it becomes obvious the amount of movement North February shall provide.
The Dallas SuperConference was sold out weeks in advance. This will be the largest crypto conference in history! The publicity surrounding this event coupled with the number of attendees will increase demand for cryptos across the entire market. However, the Dallas SuperConference is the second conference occurring that weekend. The conference taking place in Acapulco is where the more "anarchist" styled individuals in the movement will be presenting. Both conferences will be providing a significant boost in publicity.
Besides the Acapulco and Dallas conference, there are many more every weekend prior and following these two conferences. Last month the futures traders bet BTC would decrease under $10,000 and the day of option expiration the price collapsed under $10,000 allowing the futures traders to profit on their final day of expiration. This was not coincidental and was easily caused by manipulation.
However, this month they are betting BTC will increase in value, which means the manipulation we felt in January as downward pressure will, in turn, be upward pressure boosting the price of BTC in February, not collapsing it. The trend is when BTC and the crypto markets hit ATHs they retract 40-60 percent (usually in January and over summer). However, immediately following this correction new ATHs are approached within 60 days. The correction has occurred, the bull market trend should begin any day now.
Conferences in February
February is the month of conferences. Every weekend has at least one conference in a major city on a different continent for the entire month. The Dallas SuperConference is by far the largest, but the publicity around the globe the others provide will yield massive positive news coverage and publicity:
- February 1: Cryptoassets Conference, Vancouver, CA
- February 1: CryptoCon, San Francisco, CA
- February 5: Blockchain in Energy Conference, Amsterdam
- February 5: Second Blockchain Middle East Forum
- February 7: "Fintech World" Blockchain and Tokenomics 101, New York, NY
- February 8: Blockchain and BTC Conference, Gibraltar
- February 10: Cryptario Online Summit
- February 13: Blockchain Conference, St. Petersburg
- February 16: Dubai FX and Cryptocurrency and ICO Show, DUBAI, UAE
- February 16: The Bitcoin, Ethereum & Blockchain SuperConference, Dallas, TX
- February 21: Blockchain and Bitcoin Conference, Switzerland
- February 22: Blockchain and Bitcoin Conference, Bengaluru
- February 23: EnHack 2018, Essen, Germany
- February 23: Blockchain and Cryptocurrency con 2018, Dallas, TX
- February 24: NAC3 New York City, New York, New York
- February 27: Blockchain in Healthcare West Conference, San Francisco, CA
- February 28: Gibraltar International FinTech Forum, Gibraltar
- March 1: Blockchain and Bitcoin Conference Turkey, Istanbul Turkey
- March 1: International Blockchain Summit Moscow, Moscow, Russia
Have you tried counting that list of conferences? It literally is so large it takes two checks to ensure you have the number correct. It seems beyond obvious that this number of conferences in February alone, across the globe, demonstrates that blockchain is not a waning technology on its way out. But has solidified its presence. The sheer amount of publicity that should be generated by having 10+ conferences in one month is unfathomable. There is hardly a period of three days where there aren't overlapping conferences.
The price of bitcoin and the crypto markets will soon directly reflect the amount of new investors these conferences bring in while reestablishing the faith shaken from many of the weak hands in January. The conferences will be the first tangible events that bring publicity, new traders, and in turn new money into the crypto space. The biggest of them all. The Dallas SuperConference.
The Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Blockchain SuperConference in Dallas
This is expected to be the largest Blockchain conference to date and sold out so quickly that the hosts opened a second venue they are calling the "Soft Fork." People are actually paying $647 to attend the alternative conference. The tickets to the Soft Fork do not allow you to attend the SuperConference at a separate venue but is the solely "spillover" from the original conference that didn't purchase tickets in a timely manner. This shows there is extreme demand for space at the conference and Bitcoin in general.
The media is portraying a bleak situation following a 50 percent correction, but that same media at the end of December was saying how BTC was going to approach $100,000. If traders have not learned by now, it is always best to fade public sentiment. In December when there was nothing but positive news we should have been selling, to repurchase in January when sentiment was most negative. Right now sentiment is the most negative it's been in a year, with a 50 percent correction having just occurred. This is the time to purchase and enjoy the bull market rally through sold-out conferences and forked venues.
The main event is being held at the Dallas Fort-Worth Airport Marriott North. The Soft fork is being held at the Sheraton Dallas Fort-Worth Airport Hotel. These are two massive venues that intend to hold thousands and thousands of BTC and blockchain crazed individuals. The speakers at this venue are all headline names in the blockchain industry. From the founders in the collegiate landscape like Tim Draper to the most controversial names in crypto like John McAfee. There will also be many coin founders and their teams presenting during this multiple day event. The name "SuperConference" should not go without notice. There will be "super" publicity, significant money flowing into crypto markets, and thousands becoming educated week after week beginning this weekend and leading right through the Dallas SuperConference.
When hands are weak, when there is blood in the streets, the real traders accumulate; this has always been the case. Leading up to the February conferences we've had blood in the streets for a month. If you've been fleeing instead of accumulating this may not be the correct investment space for you. This space takes incredible courage in the face of volatility but requires you to stay humble during times of 500 percent gains as they can be evaporated in weeks. These conferences will hopefully create a new group of educated investors that can enter the crypto space without the with hands that plagued so many January holders. Besides the upcoming conferences which will provide a clear catalyst to a bull market, it is important to analyze upcoming trends.
Bitcoin is not unfamiliar with massive corrections. The crypto markets, led by BTC, have had multiple corrections between 40 and 60 percent in the last two years. This specific correction has been on the higher side of prior corrections but was also preceded by the largest market cap climb in crypto history. What occurs following every massive correction to date? New ATHs. All-time highs are approached within sixty days of the end of each prior correction.
The King cannot guarantee the market will turn today, or tomorrow, but what is evident is the trends following massive corrections point to a bullish market. The crypto markets move very quickly compared to the stock markets where corrections can take months, if not years to complete, the crypto space works ten times faster-earning returns in the 100s of percent but also correcting 50 percent in less than two months. BTC along with the entire crypto markets regularly have these huge corrections but also regular have bullish trends that immediately follow. The King expects this trend to continue, with a significant bull rally following this 50 percent correction.
Futures Traders
It is common knowledge the largest institutional investors are using futures as an entry point into the crypto market, specifically for BTC. What is also not surprising is they bet BTC would decrease in price from its high of $19,000 in December through January's future expiration. What was witnessed in January was on both dates of future expiration, the price of bitcoin was pushed under $10,000 allowing the futures traders to capitalize on massive trades. This was preempted by a sharp rise in price and public sentiment, before removing the rug and having everything come crashing down.
Now we have the opposite approach being taken by futures traders. There is negative sentiment, the public is scared, and they've bet BTC will rise this month compared to January when they bet it would fall. The entire month of January the market felt downward pressure from these institutions, shaking out many weak hands. However, February should be the exact opposite. Future traders bet on BTC appreciating which means instead of holding the roof down; they should be supporting it from the floor. There were green days immediately prior to massive corrections throughout January, and the King believes these current red days beginning February are exactly that. The calm before the storm.
The January storm forced the price South. The February storm being propped by the futures traders will force BTC and the entire market cap of the crypto market higher instead of pressuring it downward.
Most in crypto are scared of regulation as it goes against what cryptocurrencies stand for. However, if individuals want crypto to be considered a legitimate investment and be treated similarly to stocks there needs to be some level of protections. The only ways to enforce that founders adhere to their white papers, and that trading isn't taking place illegally is if individuals can be held liable under securities laws. However, with no securities laws in place regarding cryptocurrencies as of a few years ago, this is a rapidly developing field in law. South Korea, who was threatening to ban cryptos outright decided on a very logical approach to regulating it.
The King expects the remainder of countries to follow suit because this will allow countries to earn taxes on trading, be able to hold founders liable for scam/fraud and provide a level of protection that has not been seen in crypto. The ongoing debate between regulation and free markets is constant in the crypto space, but one thing is very clear. If you want more protections as a consumer (a trader), there must be more regulations.
If you don't mind being swindled out of the occasional ICO or having a coin turn out to be a complete fraud, continue to support lack of regulation. However, as crypto becomes more legitimate, regulations will be the foundation that allows them to enter the mainstream for hesitant institutional investors.
February should begin a bull rally that makes up for a significant portion of the correction we've witnessed in December and January. The trends speak for themselves in financial markets and crypto markets, almost every year January there is a massive correction, and February is the rebound. This year seemed no different but was more exacerbated because of the rapid climb of BTC in the months leading up to the correction.
Trends demonstrate without other catalysts the crypto markets should recover significantly in the next few days to the next few weeks. When one considers that the conference schedule is almost a page long for one month, with most already sold out, it becomes evident there are catalysts to facilitate this bull rally.
Institutional investors have manipulatory powers that cannot even be fathomed unless you spend days gazing at the charts, or look what they do on the days' futures expire! This month instead of manipulating downward, they will be manipulating upward.
Regulations coming together to allow traders to actively participate in these markets without outright bans is also another huge success for the industry. February has many catalysts; futures traders, conferences, trends, and even regulation that should lead to it being the beginning of a major bull rally! The King expects the $1 trillion market cap, of all cryptos, to be approached and surpassed prior to the following correction which statistically (and historically) occurs over Summer.

This weekend starts the Easter Cycle, with Septuagisma Sunday.
7 Things about Septuagisma Sunday
The name Septuagisma comes from the Latin for 70th, which means 70 Days Before Easter. It's not really 70 days before Easter, but it's the 3rd Sunday before Lent, which is 40 Days Before Easter. So, it's Three Weeks before the beginning of Lent.
In some places it's called Circumdedérunt Sunday, because of the 1st word of the Entrance Antiphon.
Ps 17:5; 17:6; 17:7
Circumdedérunt me gémitus mortis, dolóres inférni circumdedérunt me: et in tribulatióne mea invocávi Dóminum, et exaudívit de templo sancto suo vocem meam.
Ps 17:2-3
Díligam te, Dómine, fortitúdo mea: Dóminus firmaméntum meum, et refúgium meum, et liberátor meus.
Circumdedérunt means "about", "around", "encircling"… Which is why you rarely hear it referred to these days as Circumdedérunt Sunday. Because unlike "Rejoice Sunday", during Advents and Lents, "Around Sunday" doesn't have quite the same literary appeal.
The full translation of the Entrance Antiphon is:
Ps 17:5-7
"The terrors of death surged round me, the cords of the nether world enmeshed me. In my distress I called upon the Lord; from His holy temple He heard my voice."
Ps 17:2-3
"I love You, O Lord, my strength, O Lord, my rock, my fortress, my deliverer."
The 17-day period beginning on Septuagesima Sunday is a preparation for the season of Lent. "In many countries, however, Septuagesima Sunday marked and still marks the traditional start of the carnival season, culminating on Shrove Tuesday, sometimes known as Mardi Gras." (via Wikipedia.)
However Carnival Season, as we all know, starts on Epiphany, with the celebration of the Three Kings bringing our precious Lord the gracious gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.
There is a close correspondence between the pictures in the Roman Catacombs, and the readings which occur from Septuagisma Sunday through the 2nd Sunday of Easter. We're talking ancient here.
In some places, the custom of the "Burial of the Allellulia" still takes place after Septuagisma Sunday, usually the Sunday before the first Sunday of Lent, as the Allelulia is not said during Lent.
Via St. John Cantius, The Burial of the 'Alleluia' is a beautiful custom repeated each year at St. John Cantius Parish. On the Sunday before Ash Wednesday, we bid this sacred word a fond farewell for the duration of Lent.
At the end of Mass, a placard with the 'Alleluia' in ornate gold letters is taken from the Sanctuary and processed to Mary's Altar where it is "buried"—placed under the altar cloth. The 'Alleluia' will only emerge again at the Easter Vigil after the 40 days of Lent, we hear the Church proclaim the Resurrection of Our Lord.
And via the New Liturgical Movement:
"On Saturday before Septuagesima Sunday all choir boys gather in the sacristy during the prayer of the None, to prepare for the burial of the Alleluia. After the last Benedicamus Domino [i.e., at the end of the Vespers service] they march in procession, with crosses, tapers, holy water and censers; and they carry a coffin, as in a funeral. Thus they proceed through the aisle, moaning and mourning, until they reach the cloister. There they bury the coffin; they sprinkle it with holy water and incense it; whereupon they return to the sacristy by the same way."
This burial of the Alleluia was nicknamed the deposition (i.e., "the giving on deposit"). Curiously enough, gravestones in Catholic cemeteries traditionally had the inscription Depositus, or simply "D," to indicate a Christian's burial. When this term indicates the burial of the Alleluia or of the faithful departed, the Christian belief in resurrection is clear. As we bury those who have been "marked with the sign of faith," (Roman Canon), and as we enter into the fasting of Lent, we do not silence our tongues because of despair or permanent loss. Rather, we do so with confidence that what has been deposited into the earth—our dead, our Alleluia—will rise again."
Origen has an interesting Homily on the Gospel of the Day:
"Observe if you can that the first order stands for Adam, and for the creation of the world: for the Householder going out in the morning early as it were hired Adam and Eve to work in the vineyard of His justice. The second order of workers means Noah, and the Covenant which He established with him. The third order signifies Abraham, and those who, following him, were Patriarchs, until the time of Moses. The fourth order is Moses, and all who went with him out of the land of Egypt, and the Law that was given in the desert. The last order, about the eleventh hour, means the Coming of Jesus Christ. The Householder was but one, as the parable records: He went forth five times, and He went forth that He might send into His vineyard workmen that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth (II Tim. ii. 15), who would labour in His service. And One is Christ coming frequently among men, ever providing what is needed for the calling of His workers."
The entire homily is edifying.
Septuagisma Sunday is this coming Sunday ~ lots to be done before the Lenten Season.
