If you're a fan of Harry Potter, you know who Luna Lovegood is. Most know about Luna, but less know about the actress that plays her. Evanna Lynch is more than just a character, she's a pretty darn interesting human being! Did you know this was her first real acting gig? Read on to find out more about her.
Before she played Luna, her younger self loved the book series. She connected with them and Luna's character so much that it helped her overcome her struggle with anorexia.
Her cats' names are Luna and Dumbeldore. She also had a cat named Crookshanks who has since passed away.
She frequently visits the Harry Potter fan site MuggleNet. She also called in to a Harry Potter podcast called PotterCast. She is definitely involved!
She made the radish earrings that Lunua wears in Order of the Phoenix. In a special feature on the Half-Blood Prince DVD with Jany Temime, Evanna revealed that she also made a bracelet that Luna wore at the Slug Club Christmas Party.
Evanna is a wonderful human that was put on this earth to entertain us and to spread the love. She endorses, and has stood up for, homosexuality.
"Please don't for a second pin the intolerance and hatred you spread on 'religion' for no religion endorses the darkness you're spreading."
Evanna wrote to J.K. Rowling and told her she came from a sleepy place called Termonfeckin, and Rowling wrote back encouraging her that she came from a very sleepy place too.
Although she did have a connection with J.K. Rowling already, she auditioned for the role along with 15,000 other girls. She beat the competition all by herself.
Not only has J.K. Rowling been a major influence and help to Evanna's life, but she has inspired Rowling as well. J.K. has said that Evanna is the only actor/actress who has influenced her writing.
She has used her experience battling anorexia to help and inspire other women.
"Being someone who makes people feel okay about themselves, being able to make people accept things they went through, accept themselves more, that makes me feel way better about myself than any diet has ever done."
She's a vegan! For a long time she was vegetarian, but she recently made the transition.
"Becoming vegan was always something I wanted to do, but I didn't want it to feel unpleasant or like I was depriving myself or sacrificing, which some people do. Someone gave me very good advice about going vegan: crowd out your old habits with new ones, before you start cutting out lots of food, start learning new recipes."

Vein of Galen aneurysm
Vein of Galen aneurysm is a rare form of arteriovenous malformation in which a particular vein at the base of the brain, the vein of Galen, dilates causing too much blood to rush to the heart and leading to congestive heart failure. Sometimes the defect will be recognized on an ultrasound before birth, but most often it is seen in infants who experience rapid heart failure. In less severe cases, a child may develop hydrocephalus because the enlarged malformation blocks the normal flow or absorption of cerebrospinal fluid. Although the exact cause remains unknown, this condition appears to be a result of a defect in early fetal development.

West Ham manager Zola witnessed a stunning performance from Green in Monday's 0-0 draw at Liverpool, which lifted the Hammers to 13th in the Barclays Premier League table.
It also produced their third consecutive clean sheet. Zola said: "I have told Robert that if he continues to perform the way he is, he will be back in the England squad."
He added: "The England manager (Fabio) Capello knows what is the right thing to do, and Green knows he must continue to perform every week like he is now, and then he will be rewarded.
"I am delighted with Robert. He is looking very comfortable now. He was getting some stick but now he is getting the rewards he deserves. He is working very hard during the week and I am very pleased with him."
West Ham are unbeaten in three games and Zola said: "My ideas are starting to produce results.
"When I first arrived I wanted to improve the way we played, to be more offensive. But we discovered that we needed to improve in defence, and that is what we are trying to do.
"Our objective is to keep clean sheets and to score more goals. We will be working on that.
"The team is responding to what my staff and I are saying. They are keen to react and follow what we want, and that gives us hope for the future.
"My players are going through a good spell, we must not lose this momentum. Things had not been going well but things are now improving on our side of things, we must keep it going."

Judith Gere
Postdoctoral Training:
Center for Healthy Aging, Penn State University
Research/Graduate Area:
Does Dr. Gere plan to recruit a doctoral student for the next incoming class?
Personality and Individual Differences, Social Psychology
Research Interests:
I am primarily interested in understanding factors that contribute to higher levels of subjective well-being. High quality romantic relationships and the ability to pursue personal goals are both strong predictors of well-being; thus, most of my research has centered on these topics, especially the interplay between relationships and goal pursuits. For example, I have examined the effects of conflict between relationship partners' goals (on the goals, the relationship, and well-being), the strategies partners might use to resolve or minimize goal conflict, how romantic partners can facilitate each other's goal pursuits, and the accuracy of partners' perceptions of each other's goals and motivations. I have also been doing some work recently investigating self-growth, specifically, how relationship dynamics may affect self-growth and how individual differences related to well-being (e.g., mindfulness, resilience) and self-growth influence relationship experiences and dynamics. Additionally, I am also interested in quantitative measurement and methodology, especially SEM (structural equation modeling).

6 Ways To Cope With A Wedding Crisis
There is usually a little perfectionist in all of us who believes our wedding day should be utterly flawless. The funny thing about life, though, is that it rarely abides by imaginary laws of perfection! Challenging, unexpected, and even upsetting events are part and parcel of the journey, and that goes for your wedding day, too. If a crisis arises in any form, be it large or small, it's important to remember that it's not necessarily the event itself that creates the issue, but your reaction to it.
Here are 6 ways to ride out the storm and cope with a wedding day crisis:
1. Be realistic
When planning your wedding, be sure to also prepare for the unexpected. A part of this includes not over-planning! Remind yourself that your day doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful, and try to be flexible throughout the process. This will help a lot, if a physical, emotional or organisational crisis occurs.
2. Breathe
Before reacting to a situation, such as being let down by a caterer/venue/family member and becoming overwhelmed by stress, learn to immediately bring your attention to your breathing. Taking a few deep, slow breaths is a powerful way to ground yourself, keep focus, and diffuse panic.
3. Practice gratitude
If something happens to dampen your day – whether it's plans falling through, events not happening on schedule, or tensions between relatives – it's important to broaden your mind and take in the full picture. Noting five things you are grateful for is a great way to shift your focus from the negative and see things in a more balanced way. A crisis may have occurred, but you're also getting to marry the person you love, spend time with loved ones, and celebrate a special occasion together. That's definitely something to be grateful for!
4. Ask for support
If your stress levels are rising and you feel overwhelmed, don't be afraid to ask for help. Friends, family members, and venue staff will often be happy to support you and help find a way to manage any challenges. There's no need to take all the responsibility on yourself.
5. Accept what you can't change
While it's useful to make changes where you can, such as rescheduling arrival plans, fixing the tear in your veil, or having someone escort that very drunk aunt home, it's helpful to remember that there are some things we just can't change. Make amendments where possible, but accept what can't be done and choose to realign your focus on the rest of the day.
6. Laugh!
Most importantly, keep a sense of humour! If something goes wrong – and definitely if everything goes wrong – laugh about it. At the end of the day, a good giggle shared between loved ones is often the best remedy to a tough situation. Try not to take it all too seriously and enjoy these moments, no matter what the day throws at you.

Another one bites the proverbial dust. Windows RT, when announced, represented a bold new direction for Microsoft software on the ARM platform. The whole ordeal was greeted with great fanfare, and rightly so, as it opened up a whole new dimension for the Redmond based company.
Needless to say the response has been lukewarm at best — and plain unenthusiastic at worst.
Partners like Samsung, Acer and others jumped off the wagon at the first opportunity. Other large hardware vendors have also said they will avoid the operating system for now.
And now Asus has once again reiterated its plans of scaling back Windows RT products in favor of products that run the full version of Windows 8 — this practically leaves Dell as the only major Microsoft partner that still plans develop Windows RT tablets and devices.
Talking to AllThingsD, Asus chairman said that the company has not seen the response it expected from Windows RT devices like its VivoTab RT. Jonney Shih noted:
"The result is not very promising."
The senior executive commented that users still enjoy traditional desktop apps, which are not available on Windows RT. Nevertheless, the company will not rule out Windows RT products completely in the future, even though it is shifting its focus towards Intel powered devices running Windows 8.
Shih also added that his company is evaluating its options in terms of tablet sizes, and the fact that there are programs to bring back the traditional Start Menu to Windows 8 exemplifies the mistakes Microsoft made when developing the newest version of Windows.

Sancti Spiritus, Cuba
The peaceful capital of Sancti Spiritus province was, like Trinidad, founded by Diego Velazquez in 1514.
It became the military, political and economic centre of the area in the colonial period which has led to the city being embellished with elegant 17th and 18th century mansions.
It is located deep in the heart of fertile agricultural countryside and its compact and attractive colonial centre is similar to Trinidad's but receives far fewer visitors.

Tuesday, February 28th: Mars conjunct Uranus in Aries – you need change in your life and you act spontaneously to provoke it. "But I've strayed so far from normal now, I'll never find my way back. And the truth is, I no longer want to" (Alyson Noel)
Monday, February 27th: Mars in Aries opposite Jupiter in Libra – you need to learn how to deal with negative provocation. "Lay not the blame on me, O sailor, but on the winds. By nature I am as calm and safe as the land itself, but the winds fall upon me with their gusts and gales, and lash me into a fury that is not natural to me" (Aesop)
Sunday, February 26th: New Moon in Pisces (Sun conjunct Moon in Pisces) – it is time for spirituality, prayers and meditation. Some of us will need some time alone with their own thoughts. "Loneliness expresses the pain of being alone and solitude expresses the glory of being alone" (Paul Tillich)
Saturday, February 25th: Mercury enters Pisces – he mind is directed by emotions, dreams, visions and intuition. The logic is not very important, when Mercury transits Pisces. We become good and empathetic listeners. "The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me; my eye and God's eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing, one love" (Meister Eckhart)
Friday, February 24th: Moon in Aquarius sextile Venus in Aries – we learn to cultivate emotional well-being and to enjoy life. "The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience" (Eleanor Roosevelt)
Thursday, February 23rd: Mercury in Aquarius sextile Saturn in Sagittarius – after some agitated days, we succeed to calm down and to be more diplomatic. "When you reach a calm and quiet meditative state, that is when you can hear the sound of silence" (Stephen Richards)
Wednesday, February 22nd: Mars in Aries square Pluto in Capricorn – fast and radical changes aren't recommended, today. "Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together" (Vincent Van Gogh)
Tuesday, February 21st: Mercury in Aquarius trine Jupiter in Libra – today, we are more honest and straightforward in our relationships. "Women are always true, even in the midst of their greatest falsities, because they are always influenced by some natural feeling" (Honoré de Balzac)
Monday, February 20th: Mercury in Aquarius sextile Uranus in Aries – the secrets are revealed, today. "The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart" (St. Jerome)
Sunday, February 19th: Moon in Sagittarius trine Venus in Aries – you become more generous, finding new opportunities to help a friend, neighbor or a relative. "You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you" (John Bunyan)
Saturday, February 18th: Sun enters Pisces – you become more empathic, more sensitive to others' feelings. You cultivate empathy and you spend more time helping others. "Empathy is the faculty to resonate with the feelings of others. When we meet someone who is joyful, we smile. When we witness someone in pain, we suffer in resonance with his or her suffering" (Matthieu Ricard)
Friday, February 17th: Moon in Scorpio trine Neptune in Pisces – sometimes (like today), daydreaming has its benefits: you become more creative, open-minded and understanding. "Nothing makes time pass or shortens the way like a thought that absorbs in itself all the faculties of the one who is thinking. External existence is then like a sleep of which this thought is the dream. Under its influence, time has no more measure, space has no more distance" (Alexandre Dumas)
Thursday, February, 16th: Mercury in Aquarius sextile Mars in Aries – we feel confident about our ideas. We also learn how to keep a promise. "Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth" (Jalaluddin Rumi)
Wednesday, February 15th: Moon conjunct Jupiter in Libra – we develop a strong sense of empathy and become more altruistic. "I slept and I dreamed that life is all joy. I woke and I saw that life is all service. I served and I saw that service is joy" (Kahlil Gibran)
Tuesday, February, 14th: Sun in Aquarius sextile Saturn in Sagittarius – we learn to distinguish between an impulse and an intelligent decision. "Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come" (Robert H. Schuller)
Monday, February 13th: Moon in Virgo square Saturn in Sagittarius – we are overcritical and stay focused on negative. "If we had no faults we should not take so much pleasure in noting those of others" (François de La Rochefoucauld)
Sunday, February 12th: Sun in Aquarius trine Jupiter in Libra – you give something willingly and happily, without expecting anything in return. "You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give" (Kahlil Gibran)
Saturday, February 11th: Full Moon in Leo (Sun in Aquarius opposite Moon in Leo) – is time for self-expression, with creativity and originality. We fully understand the meaning of Herman Melville's affirmation: "It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation"
Full Moon Calendar 2017: https://tarot-astrology.co.uk/2016/05/09/moon-phases-in-2017-full-moon-calendar/
Moon in Leo: https://tarot-astrology.co.uk/2016/01/26/moon-in-leo-arrogance/
Thursday, February 9th: Sun in Aquarius sextile Uranus in Aries – break conventions and think creatively! "Conventional people are roused to fury by departure from convention, largely because they regard such departure as a criticism of themselves" (Bertrand Russell)
Wednesday, February 8th: Moon in Cancer opposite Pluto in Capricorn – you have to recognize the signs of emotional blockages and to release them. "One thing you can't hide – is when you're crippled inside" (John Lennon)
Tuesday, February 7th: Mercury enters Aquarius – you can discover unconventional ways of thinking and problem solving. You also become very friendly, with no difficulty in meeting new people and initiating relationships. "One's duty is to feel what is great, cherish the beautiful, and not accept all the conventions of society with the ignominy that it imposes upon us" (Gustave Flaubert)
Monday, February 6th: Jupiter retrograde in Libra (until June, 9th) – you have to discover what doesn't work in your marriage and in any other important partnership, including the business ones. You need to focus on meeting your spouse's needs, instead of focusing on why him/her isn't meeting your needs. "The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed" (C.G. Jung)
Sunday, February 5th: Ceres enters Taurus – Ceres was the Roman goddess of plenty, the bearer of fruits and grain that nourished the world. Having Ceres in Taurus, this can be a time of growth and abundance. "Plant seeds of happiness, hope, success, and love; it will all come back to you in abundance. This is the law of nature" (Steve Maraboli)
Saturday, February 4th: Moon in Taurus trine Pluto in Capricorn – we find emotional power even in the most difficult situations. "Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will" (Mahatma Gandhi)
Friday, February 3rd: Venus enters Aries – you enjoy flirting and short-term relationships, no-string-attached. Love at first sight becomes possible, during this transit of Venus. "Those moments of play that we do get in meta-life, like playing music, or golf, or word-play, or flirting – those are some of the best parts about being alive" (Stewart Butterfield) Venus in Aries for each zodiac sign
Thursday, February 2nd: Mercury in Capricorn square Jupiter in Libra – you have a tendency to exaggerate every little bad thing that happens. Try to see the bigger picture! "Don't, Sir, accustom yourself to use big words for little matters" (Samuel Johnson)

After five years of chemotherapy and one year in remission, a 78-year-old female cancer survivor was ready to smile again.
She went to see Missouri-based dentist Dr. Jack Griffin about restoring her severely decayed teeth. Dr. Griffin rebuilt the woman's smile with crowns and ACTIVA BioACTIVE-CEMENT, a revolutionary new product from Pulpdent Corporation. Dr. Griffin shares the case study, complete with his treatment plan, clinical outcomes, and images, in a recent article.
Patients undergoing cancer treatment face a variety of oral health challenges, including xerostomia (commonly referred to as dry mouth). Without sufficient saliva to neutralize acids and support the natural remineralization process, patients suffering from dry mouth can be more susceptible to the acids that cause tooth decay. Such was the case of the cancer survivor who presented at Dr. Griffin's office with rampant root surface decay.
Dr. Griffin fitted the patient with seven dental crowns. To help protect her teeth against further decay, he cemented the crowns with ACTIVA BioACTIVE, a dental material that is biomimetic, meaning it imitates the physical and chemical properties of teeth. ACTIVA BioACTIVE releases and recharges calcium and phosphate (the basic building blocks of teeth) as well as fluoride ions. In the process, the material becomes integrated with the tooth, forming a protective seal.
According to Dr. Griffin, materials like ACTIVA BioACTIVE offer a "promising alternative" to their traditional counterparts, adding that the material "results in excellent tissue health and long-term prognosis."

This question How to oil/treat a solid beech table top that will be used as a computer desk? [duplicate] was marked as a duplicate of How do I prepare and take care of a wooden countertop?
While they were similar topics, they were substantially different, requiring and receiving different sets of answers. The original question was asking about finishing a counter top, a surface in which moisture resistance is an absolute requirement. The question marked as a duplicate was simply for a desk or table top for which preventing water damage is not a high priority.
Clearly not duplicates.
How do we go about requesting the removal of the duplicate mark?

The news is good: According to a recent report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the percentage of sexually active U.S. high school students has declined over the past 10 years, as have certain risky sexual behaviors. Talking to your teen openly and honestly about sex, being sure to cover everything from oral sex to STDs, is one way to ensure your child's health and well-being. Here's how:
1. Admit that sexuality is positive. (Perhaps the hardest thing to admit to a child on the brink of lust and love.) If you cast sex as negative, as in "Don't do it!" then your child will simply tune you out.
2. Don't give boys short shrift. Broaching sexuality is easier with girls, because you can start with menstruation. With boys, talking about wet dreams and ejaculation is far more disquieting. It's hardly surprising then, that surveys show girls get far more information about their bodies and sexual urges than boys.
3. Define sexual behavior as a romantic progression. Explain that sexual attraction begins with a smile and proceeds along a path from kissing, to touching and onto intercourse. Remember first base (kissing), second base (petting above the waist), third base (petting below the waist)? Ask if kids still use this home run lingo. A step-by-step approach ensures that a child can stop at any time. Make that point.
4. Girls and boys require different instructions. Take the issue of consent, for example. Girls need to learn to say no firmly looking a boy straight in the face. Sometimes girls look away or say nothing; this can be misinterpreted by a boy who continues making sexual advances. Boys need to be warned of the danger of assuming consent. He may be liable for charges of date rape or sexual abuse.
5. Listen carefully to your child's comments. Each generation has different sexual expressions and values. Think back to the 60s or 70s. Remember your parents' take on free love? Begin to learn today's lingo and norms. Then you know where to start.
6. Clarify the danger of oral sex. In today's culture, oral sex is considered casual and convenient. Raised in the shadow of AIDS, our children seize upon oral sex, thinking its safe sex and, technically, doesn't undo virginity. Explain that any exchange of bodily fluid can result in STDs or HIV. Define abstinence.
7. Offer a checklist for sexual decision-making. How does someone decide it's right to have sexual intercourse? Discuss typical reasons. Love. Boyfriend or girlfriend pressure. Pressure from peers. Lower inhibitions after drinking or using drugs. Here is where you inject your values — when and why one would take this step.
8. Link sex to emotional consequences. Sex is a physical drive, but with emotional connections. Put sex in a loving context. Explain how it bonds people deeply. Once sex happens people are more vulnerable. Broken hearts hurt more. Reputations get juicier. Regrets happen.
9. No parent gets off the hook. Mothers and fathers each bring important perspectives to sex talks. Boys need to hear from their fathers about what is appropriate and what's not. Only mothers can demystify women to their sons; only dads can explain men to their daughters.
10. Take advantage of all the help you can get. TV, movies, magazine articles, newspaper stories — all provide teachable moments. Use everyday opportunities to comment and listen to opinions from your young adolescent. The sex talk is an ongoing educational conversation.Advertisements Advertisements

Certain Medicare Conditions to Be Tossed
WASHINGTON (CN) – The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services plan to make rule changes "to increase the ability of health care professionals to devote resources to improving patient care," and "reduce procedural burdens on providers."
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Service have published proposed rules getting rid of regulations the CMS have identified as "unnecessary, obsolete, or excessively burdensome on health care providers and beneficiaries," so the rules are not in the way of health care professionals providing quality care, according to CMS.
Other proposed rules would revise the requirements that hospitals and critical access hospitals must meet to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs, to reduce procedural burdens on providers, according to CMS.

The highly anticipated sequel to IT has cast the gay characters left out of the TV mini-series.
In the hit Stephen King novel, Adrian Mellon and Don Haggerty are a gay couple living in the town of Derry, Maine, but during their time in the town they experience homophobia and hate crime.
Although, they are only supporting characters, their tragic storyline is the reason why the Losers Club return back to the town – now as adults – to face off against the terrifying, child murdering Pennywise the Dancing Clown.
In the novel, the couple are attacked by a group of teenagers who throw Adrian off a bridge where Pennywise drags him out of the water, bites and kills him.
Despite the vicious clown being seen killing Adrian by two of the attackers, during the trial Pennywise is not mentioned.
It is not known whether these characters will have a bigger role in IT: Chapter Two - which is slated for release in 2019 - but their storyline is important to the rest of the narrative.
The characters were omitted from the 1990s TV mini-series – which starred Tim Curry as the role of Pennywise – but now director Andy Muschietti has revealed the characters will appear in the upcoming sequel.
French-Canadian actor Xavier Dolan and director Taylor Frey will play Adrian and Don alongside the likes of Jessica Chastain, James McAvoy, James Ransone, Andy Bean and Bill Skarsgard, who will return as Pennywise.

Quote:So, for continental groups, using Mt/YDNA you get great differences. Using microsatellites and common methods such as Nei's or Weir and Cockerham's Fst, you get lower-end moderate ones. Using Jost's D or other similar measures which correct for Hs, you would get, by this scale, great differences. Using SNPs, the more relevant loci, you get upper-end moderate ones. Only by cherry picking -- AMOVA applied to microsatellites -- do you get the results you desire. How about that? And of course those results are misleading because (a) Wright discussed Fst, not AMOVA -- thus rendering problematic the use of Wright's Fst based scale, (b) using typical statistical scales, the 3.8% is out of < 30% max -- thus rendering problematic a straightforward percent comparison -- we actually are not dealing with percents, and © the whole genetic differentiation comparison is misleading, in context to discussions of quantitative trait differences, because between group differences are out of inter+intra individual ones.
No, you get the very low figure I posted by calculating the mean from virtually every study and using all neutral genetic/phenotypic markers. Overall it is under 10%. See Barbujani (2013) who has compiled 10 studies and calculated an overall mean: 9.0%. There are though many more markers, and the figure I calculated is under 9.0% and is closer to 5%.
Pelvic shape (males) 2.6%
Pelvic shape (females) 3.3%
serum proteins and red blood cell enzymes 9% (Latter, 1980)
X chromosome STR's Ramachandran et al. (2004) 4.9%
Alu insertions Romualdi et al. (2002) 8.9%
642,690 atDNA SNP's Li et al. (2008) 9.0%
HLA 7.0% Meyer et al. (2006)
Craniometrics is 14.6% as calculated by Relethford (1994, 2002).
The traits that show strong climatic selection obviously have very high Fst.
Limb ratios are around 38% Fst.
Skin colour is 87.9% Fst (Relethford, 2002) based on reflectance spectrophotometry.
Yet compare to dental non-metric from Hanihara, which is 11%.
Metric is lower.
Dermatoglyphics (e.g. finger ridge counts) is 20%.
You talk about cherry picking but you don't calculate a mean from all these studies. I take them all into account and there is more than above. A lot more genetic markers have very low values of under 5%. Obviously those traits like skin colour and limb have to be excluded because they are not neutral genetic/phenotypic markers.

Katie Price's boyfriend Kris Boyson gropes her bum in a loved up photoshoot before explosive row about her night out with a mystery man
Since Katie was spotted on a night out with a hunky bloke last week, her relationship with Kris has hit a bum note
KATIE Price's boyfriend Kris Boyson was pictured groping her bum in a loved up photoshoot before their relationship hit the rocks.
The 40-year-old's night out in Essex with a mystery man last week caused a furious row, and now it doesn't seem likely Katie and Kris will be wowing fans with any more extreme PDAs.
In the snaps, which were taken during their romantic trip to Thailand, Katie and 29-year-old Kris look happier than ever.
He couldn't keep his hands off Katie's peachy bum and he was pictured giving it a squeeze before looking behind her to check her out.
She looked as though she was squealing with delight as he swooped her off the ground and into his arms.
Their break cemented their relationship and Katie and Kris' romance had appeared to be going from strength-to-strength.
But it all changed last week when Katie was spied leaving an Essex pub with a handsome pal on her arm.
A close pal told The Sun Online: "This could be it for Katie and Kris; the photos may well be the final straw.
"They are very close to calling it quits following hours of arguments over the pictures – and now they're unsure how to make it work going forward.
"There were talks of them going on a make or break trip over the Bank Holiday weekend but their plans had been thrown into disarray.
"It's not looking positive though and they may well end up splitting the next few days."
It has been a difficult month for the former Loose Women presenter – once worth £45million – after she narrowly dodged bankruptcy this month.
The High Court has given Katie three months to find a solution to pay off her debts after she blew her fortune on plastic surgery, luxury holidays and a £1million farm.
Katie's situation is so severe that she was even forced to sell her farmyard animals in a desperate bid to sort out her finances.

You'll love the exotic flavors of India as you enjoy this Veg Sorak Curry, rich with fragrant spices, brought to by Helene of Masala Herb.
I hope you enjoy this Authentic Indian Veg Sorak Curry Recipe that my friend Masala Herb has shared.
I am Helene, 24 years old, originally from Austria/France, residing with my husband at the moment in Goa, India.
What actually inspired me in my cooking are all the fabulous spices and herbs in this world. To me, they are the stars of all the ingredients because of the various ways one can use them. Without them, food would taste so boring and plain!
Living in India taught me so much about food and the way it is prepared. I had a serious problem at the beginning with the spice blend bombs in food dishes; I just couldn't enjoy Indian food! With time I discovered that one should never say no and that even my tastes could lead to craving a good homemade curry.
Especially Goan food culture intrigued me at the beginning. Goa is a small coastal state in India which used to be a Portuguese colony and later a Hippie paradise. The European influenced the local food scene by importing ingredients such as Cashews and by using Vinegar in their cooking. The dish's flavors are smoother and not that pungent hot as other Indian recipes are. It was the perfect start of newfound food love. Interestingly many foreigners around here agree!
That's why I came to the conclusion of sharing a traditional Goan Veg Curry with you all. The world needs to know how beautiful Indian food culture is! In Konkani (Goan language) it is called Sorak and it is mostly served in the dark monsoon months when it is storming and raining buckets outside. Usually, Goan Curries are known to include fresh fish, but the rains make it impossible for the fisherman to go out into the sea, so fish is scarce in that particular time of the year. That's how the Veg Sorak gained popularity, locals love it including me!
You can serve this Curry with either rice or chapattis (Indian flatbread). When served with chapatti it is cooked with less liquid, so that you can spoon it up easier. For that reason, I am sharing both versions with you all, so that no confusion arises. If you enjoyed this recipe, you might also like this Palek Paneer Recipe.
I made a new friend while clicking the pics for the curry and chapattis. AR. Rahman was playing and the white paradise bird seemed to like the music because he was hanging around for an hour at least. None of us has ever seen such a gorgeous bird before!

Online Test Measures Women's Risk of Cancer Recurrence or Spread After Hormone Therapy
A newly developed online prognostic tool can determine whether a woman is at high risk of cancer recurrence or spread after receiving the standard five years of hormone therapy, and whether she could benefit from extended treatment, a study shows. The tool, called CTS5, is made for women with estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer and was developed by researchers at The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust and Queen Mary University of London. "What we have developed could improve clinical practice, benefiting breast cancer patients by avoiding potentially unnecessary extended treatment," Mitch Dowsett, head of The Royal Marsden Ralph Lauren Centre for Breast Cancer Research, professor at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, and study first author, said in a press release. "Clinicians require expertise and the best tools to help them make crucial decisions on treatment for patients, decisions that can make a difference to patients' quality of life," he added. The study, "Integration of Clinical Variables for the Prediction of Late Distant Recurrence in Patients With Estrogen Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer Treated With 5 Years of Endocrine Therapy: CTS5," was published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

The UV curing process has been in use in the printing industry for more than thirty years. LED curing technology for UV printers is replacing older technology with compelling advantages of better economics, system capabilities, and environmental benefits. UV LED curing technology is rapidly becoming the new standard for UV printing for both full cure and pinning applications.
The narrow UV-A output provides the highest curing efficiency while also providing a cooler, safer, and more stable output, allowing end users to print on a wider variety of materials with increased yield and reduced operating costs. Phoseon's broad product portfolio includes solutions for all printing applications from small and wide format digital printers, digital and flexographic label printers, screen printers, 3D printing, and others.
Most ink manufacturers include a UV LED option today, making integration and use of LED even easier. As these manufacturers continue to develop formulations to optimize both UV LED curing and specific applications, printers can expand the applications they offer to their customers. Click here to learn what one ink manufacturer is doing to further print innovations using UV LED curing.
Flexographic printing is a process of using a flexible plate to transfer the image to the media; typically used to create labels and packaging material. UV LED curing technology for flexographic printing provides faster throughput with higher yield through tighter process control. The low heat output allows the use of thinner and more heat-sensitive materials while also eliminating the need for chill rollers.
UV LED pinning technology used between inkjet heads provides just the right amount of UV energy to control dot gain and achieve a variety of printing effects at increased speeds. UV LED can also be used for full cure of digital inks in bi-directional, single pass, and 3D printers to create products such as posters, labels, signage, packaging, and 3D objects.

You read that right.
Authorities in Honolulu, Hawaii, have asked the public to take photos and videos of criminals who's illegally dumping trash in the city of Honolulu.
"Don't just watch it happen and then complain at the neighborhood board or to your favorite local media," said Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell. "Complain to the people who can do something about it."
It's not always possible or safe to take a photo or video of the culprits in action. Some locations is very dark, and the culprits has a plan in place to dump their trash in a matter of seconds.
The fact that most of the criminals aren't already caught proves the Honolulu Police Department doesn't have the resources to tackle this issue to begin with. If they don't have the time to run a simple fingerprint search, how are they going to respond to thousands of calls about illegally dumping?
Even more evidence of the city not having the resources to tackle this issue comes from the Department of Environmental Services, who warned they reserve the right to fine the nearest home or building to an illegal dumpsite up to $2,500 a day.
"When we have enforced, the adjoining property has pulled it back whether it's theirs or not," Department of Environmental Services Director Lori Kahikina stated.
Rather than put the blame on innocent citizens, smart government branches in other states utilizes high resolution night vision cameras to catch criminals in action.
Those states also forces criminals to do community service, which includes picking up trash in public locations. Just saying.

40 thoughts on "GOLD & THE DOLLAR"
Hello Mr.Gary saw your video of gold& dollar but are the both correlated that usd should fell & Gold should rise they both can run the same way as fed don't want the usd down & banks don't want the gold down
I heard that dutchess bank says that probably gold should be around 1700$ but it's not as talks are running that the dutchess bank is about to be collapse
please rectify if any mistake
mike trike
Good video Gary, The chartists are all bearish because the 50 DMA was breached on gold, silver and miners. I hear talk of $14 silver again and much lower miners and gold. Seasonally, the miners and gold should get a lift as well.
Just not gonna happen until oil can catch up. Gold and gold stocks will do diddly squat till Gold:Oil hits a 12:1 ratio, which means oil has to double first.
Gary is a big believer in regression to the mean. The Gold oil ratio is over 40% above its 200 week moving average and due for a visit there soon.
Interesting point but if you check out 2008-2011, Gold:Oil didn't come back to the 200wma til mid 2011.
Agree with Gary, presidential debates are coming up (I doubt that Hillary will do well, Trump and election uncertainty will be bearish for the dollar shorter term), we also have Debt Ceiling at the end of September again, and also the Yuan is added to the IMF-basket on 2nd October.
Not a chance in hell the Fed is going to raise interest rates in September to risk a financial and economic fall out, she's in the pocket of the Democratic Party.
If some unemployment numbers are not so well, then the Dollar will decline sharply, which could be bullish for US equities.
The dollar monthly chart looks like a long period of consolidation after a strong 18 month advance, not unlike that of the S&P.
Gary Post author
Except it is making lower intermediate lows. That is a big warning sign. It usually means the larger 3 year cycle is now in decline. If the larger 3 year cycle is still advancing inen price has no business making lower intermediate lows.
And with possibly another 5-8 weeks yet before the next ICL is due the dollar is at extreme risk of making another lower low at the next ICL as well.
if Fridays NFP exceeds expectations is $usd going down and gold up? I thought it was the reverse.
seems as usual we get divergent views. perhaps the politically correct course is for the markets to reveal the intentions on the charts while we wait for confirmation before move in (or move out).
With the anticipated, much jawboned by Fed operatives rate hike now being pushed to September but most likely in December after the election; is this delay in hiking rates help cause USD to fall into ICL by Sept/Oct?
And one would think a December rate hike could then cause a USD bounce into 2017?
If so, then the gold making a local high in Sept/Oct makes sense; and then a correction in gold after December rate hike again?
Gary Post author
My thinking as well.
Hike will be in September. With MSM pushing Clinton to win, it will be easier to blame a fall in the
markets on Trump's negative influences before the election. The increase of 0.25% is irrelevant in the scheme of things, but it is the tone or stance which is important. Increase in interest rates sets the table
for a tightening policy, which will have longer term implications after the election.
Gary Post author
The odds at the moment ar 21% for a hike. The Fed has never raised interest rates with the odds under 75%.
Unless something changes dramtically a hike is very unlikely.
If the jobs number is good it should be a sell the news event.
Trumps negative influences? Somewhere there is a Clinton joke waiting to surface.
NUGT lost almost half its value THIS month. WOW! Looking to buy in soon.
Unreal total control S&P 2175-2190 within the box
The USD is alot stronger than you thought and gold very bearish. Maybe what you meant to say is gold in a left translated cycle, about to fail and now started the decline into ICL?
Looks to me the fat cats want cheaper mining stocks to load up on been long JDST since $24 Ill flip to JNUG on Thursday before the close and go long…
Nice spike by dust for nimble players. uup beginning to stall? Gears changing from dust to nugt?
crude continues to be under pressure.

VICTOR, SLP announced its release of the top new software that it has postponed since January.
I see renewed healthy move in the stock in its aftermath, so that I'll start buying it on Monday (when I expect DCL in stocks on day 49) alongside BCOV, QCOM, MASI, NLS, GIMO and oil plays ERF, SDRL and REN.
Gary — close to DCL in miners? Time to add to energy stocks?
Oil dipped quite a bit today.
could be DCL like Alexandru mentioned?
someone said: the dollar is dead.. can't even get up over the 50 dma .. its dead I tell ya.. what a bunch of baloney.
Alexandru Popovici
Victor, you're welcome!
No need for feeling guilty: we are not buying mere reward potential, rather we are buying reward/risk ratios, so that we should strive to buy dips in R/R ratio which more often than rare is not congruent with buying dips in the value of assets.
Additionally, it makes an excellent time for the company to have made a great release (issue a strong catalyst) while the market is searching for its DCL so that we can do 2 things:
1) to confirm relative strength of the stock in the wake of the new specific catalyst and
2) to make an entry, to buy a low R/R ratio.
you can bet that now R/R ratio is lower for SLP at 8.6 than the R/R ratio when the stock was 7.0 😉
Alexandru Popovici
….I will personally employ a different, non-core strategy for SLP, the kind that money managers do: buy bits of it and planning to hold at least a portion of it for over a year.
SLP will make my positioning play through this bull market.
It must be treated with care, though, because it is thinly traded –> highly susceptible to shakeouts by money managers!
I will buy today, I'm sure it's get more expensive tomorrow…, shakeout happened ulready. Thanks Alex
Alexandru Popovici
I am still 100% in cash 🙂 , still waiting…I still do not have my buying signal in yet so that i am compelled by my entry rules to stay out of the market regardless what.
PS: also pls look at what AAPL stock did back in Q1 2008 right after its announcement of iPhone release. It serves as a testament 🙂
Somthing similar occured with FB after its IPO: a dive and a surge in the wake of a much awaited news.
Everything is failing, gold and oil. Oil shouldn't have dropped so much in the beginning of a cycle, gold already broke 1310
Alexandru Popovici
I was waiting for oil at 45 as stocks were dropping to their DCL (except that things lingered a bit longer than expected).
Alexandru Popovici
a waterfall of profit taking will ensue tomorrow in stocks after a STRONG (>200k) payrolls report tomorrow and a USX testing of its 200dma
Hello Mr.Gary & all other visitor's of this blog
I'm expecting that Gold & Silver are near to there monthly cycle Low
so I would suggest to buy here for a short term period
if anybody thinks I'm wrong then surely I will like to know my mistake
which will help me in Learning a little more better
Alexandru Popovici
Victor, I dont know if oil to hit 43 🙁
45 was an easy call

which books on cycle analysis do you reco for studying Gary?

Saint Sophie's http://saint-sophies
We Could Not Be More Pleased With the Service
These past months have been incredibly difficult for most small businesses. This is even more true for Saint Sophie's Psychiatric Center. In addition to typical business considerations, we have patients who suffer from a variety of mental illnesses who need to be seen on a regular basis.
In a matter of days, Saint Sophie's [Psychiatric Center] went from having eight providers with full schedules in the building to having almost all the providers rendering care from their homes. Of course this required technical, network, and equipment needs. But it also required the highest level of security and privacy our patients need.
The NetCenter [Technologies] team, and specifically Michael R., have been incredibly responsive, fast, and accurate in this tough time. Michael and his team have been able to problem-solve so many different problems that have come up.
Also, there have been several times where the team has anticipated a possible problem, and proactively worked to keep us up and running.
Not only are they technically good at what they do, but they are also cheerful, polite, patient, and fun to work with. We could not be more pleased with the service.

NetCenter Technologies Installed, Guaranteed, And Delivered Exactly What We Asked For
NetCenter Technologies was an excellent choice for installing our audio, visual, and NEC telephone system components to our new building. The one company providing all of our technology needs really saved us time with not having to coordinate multiple vendors. They worked with us on exactly what we needed and delivered, installed and guaranteed the work they did. The whole transition was professional, smooth and seamless, thank you to everyone at NetCenter Technologies for taking care of us at VFW Post 7564, West Fargo.

One Of The Easiest Technology Upgrades I Have Ever Experienced!
"Moving over to NCT was one of the easiest technology upgrades I have ever experienced! Our day to day operations continued with little interruption. It was a refreshing change from past companies we have worked with. A major improvement in our telecommunications with the NEC SV9100 voice network. Great to work with a company that provides both Voice and Data."

NCT Provides Piece Of Mind And Communication Is Absolutely Second To None
The BIGGEST benefit NCT provides us is piece of mind that our needs are met within minutes of having any technical problems. NCT's IT help desk is prompt, efficient and EXCEPTIONAL to work with! The thorough communication in every aspect of NCT's departments is second to none.
Communication is everything when it comes down to knowing what's going on when working with any company. NCT excels in keeping our practice informed with our IT setup, what we need for our business specifically and never overselling us. NCT takes what once was a very unfamiliar area (technology) and makes us now very comfortable asking questions, reporting problems and knowing they are taken care of seamlessly. Putting 100% of our trust into a company that takes care of the "lifeline" of our business allows us to become more efficient and productive as a company.

NetCenter Technologies Provides A Quick Turn Around, Sometimes Within Minutes
NCT provides us with a quick turn around when we have an IT problem. We have very few IT issues but when we do, we have a service tech on the line within minutes! It's nice when we call them, they are familiar with who we are and what we do. I like that we don't have to explain what systems we are using every time we call in.
If you are ever on the fence about choosing an IT company call me, we have been working with NCT for several years for IT services and are very happy with them. They provide competitive rates; a great service record and they give back to our Agency. I don't feel like we are just another customer and don't get put on the back burner.

The NEC SV9100 Helps Me Be More Productive And Efficient Doing My Job
The NEC SV9100 telephone system makes it very easy to do my job as a receptionist. I have worked with and helped implement the NEC SV9100 with NetCenter Technologies in two different businesses, one being a small law office and the other a large service company and, in both instances, it enhanced my job and made me much more proficient at what I do. I love being able to direct calls more efficiently using the NEC desktop suite functionality. I am able to quickly see whether the recipient is available previous to processing the call or directing it immediately to their voicemail.
The instant messaging feature is extremely helpful in trying to be discreet when a customer walks in and asks to speak with someone or if I simply have a quick question I can do so without much interruption. I also like that I do not have to take my hands off of my computer with using a headset which means I am able to continue working on other tasks at the same time I am taking phone calls. All said, I love the usefulness of the NEC SV9100 and would recommend it to others.

Going With NetCenter Technologies Has Been One Of The Best Decisions We Have Made
It's hard to separate all of the benefits we have found with NCT, as they are all very valuable. One of main benefits would include being able to contact just one company for all of our technology needs which include low voltage cable, IT, telephone system options and audio video for products and support. We know the staff at NCT, we know whatever we are calling about will be addressed quickly and efficiently with experienced technicians.
We have used several IT companies in the past and did not receive correct information based on what our actual requirements and needs were. We would receive adequate response times but end up calling them back to fix the same problems over and over. A big factor was not receiving full well-rounded advice and follow up like we receive from NCT. From a purchaser standpoint, many companies don't want to hear the cost and elements required for their business because it can be one of those intangibles, everyone just wants it to work. But if you truly want to move forward without issues, you need to seek advice, weigh all options (and multiple bids) and understand the differences in service provided and quality of that service and product.
One of the major factors to this day that stays with me is when we called NCT to discuss our equipment and support, I had 3 very competent employees from NCT in different areas of expertise show up to meet with me. In addition, I was provided their office furniture representative to assist with our furnishing needs. They truly do provide it all. These representatives listened to my needs, addressed our problems and concerns, offered solutions and ideas I hadn't considered and accepted multiple questions from me to work through all the details. I know I can contact any one of these representatives plus numerous support technicians to help me. I really feel we have developed a key vendor/client relationship that is comfortable and still professional. This has been one of the best decisions we have made!

NCT Goes Above And Beyond
I would like to compliment your Network Engineer, Dan Fischer, for the exemplary service he provided to Metro COG during our office move. Dan has always delivered excellent technical service and support, and is always professional and courteous. In this case, we believe he went above and beyond to get us connected and up and running in an
impressively short time, with little to no problems arising after the fact. Both our electrician and IT service provider refused to terminate CAT-5 cable ends for connectivity, and given what could have been a disastrous and massive setback, Dan offered to get us set-up and connected. On top of that, while Dan could have easily terminated the cables with network jacks, he instead hard-wired all of the cabling into a patch panel to get it done efficiently, correctly, and professionally. I am beyond impressed with the level of service that Dan has always offered, but I am especially grateful for his services in this instance. He is a great representative and an asset to your company.

Cradle of Culture #1
As the sun begins to rise in the east, dramatic sun rays pierce the clouds and pass through the perforated stone stupas of Borobudur
Within each of the 72 stone stupas sits a carved Buddha in peaceful meditation. A thick, low-hanging fog shrouds the lowest of the stacked platform of the imposing 9th century Mahayana Buddhist temple. In every direction thousands of trees barely peek above the fog. I feel as peaceful as I imagine the meditating Buddha statues to be – for a moment it feels like the massive site is weightless and we;re floating above the clouds. Standing atop Borobudur, with my hand grazing the cold, coarse stone of the central dome, I feel connected to thousands of years of human history and culture.
This is my fourth visit to Yogyakarta and every time I come here I learn something new, see something different and have a unique experience. This is university town after all – home to some of Indonesia's most prominent higher education institutions and perhaps it's the mingling of the classic Javanese culture and the resident student population that gives the city a fresh, hip vibe that excites and relaxes at the same time.
Around town you'll find small, quirky and curious cafes, restaurants and shops. Vibrant street art around every corner on Sosrowijayan contrasts with the traditional wayang / puppet workshops and batik galleries tucked into narrow lane-ways. The city is built around the Keraton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat, the royal palace that stands at its heart.
The Sultan still lives here, and traditional artisans still work within its walls. At the same time a number of Indonesia's leading contemporary artists and art galleries also call the city home. One of Indonesia's most influential contemporary artist, Affandi, lived in Yogyakarta until he passed away in 1990. His former home – wonderful bizzare building that he designed and constructed himself is now a museum dedicated to his life's work (www.affandi.org). Museum Affandi houses over 200 of his most distinctive abstract worls alongside his beloved lime-greem 1970 Mustang Galant right in the middle of the gallery.
If you love to explore Asian markets, Jalan Malioboro has an infinitely eclectic assortment of clothes, fabrics, fresh spices and produce, traditional trinkets, handicrafts and homewares. This is also a great introduction to the city's street food scene, with hawkers selling fresh seafood, fierce sambals, chicken, beef and mutton satay doused in peanut sauce and the city's quintessential stewed young jackfruit dish, gudeg
