ALIEN-BROADCAST --- PROOF! It seems different civilizations from parts unknown are watching Earth and interacting -- be it by way of abductions or by a bizzaro message. This story is incredible -- beings from who knows where interrupted a news program in England and a message was heard by those taht were tuned into the nightly news program. Reader you decide, if this page is a compilation of hoaxes and lies, or this data has merit. But please be open minded about the material on this page..
Interestingly--This ENGLISH ALIEN-BROADCAST is not the first time something strange has happened as far as outer space contact, but this evidence from 1977 is the most complete or has not been erased.
What, another ALIEN-BROADCAST? In 1953 a strange occurrence happened between a tv station in HOUSTON, TEXAS and a television station and its viewing pubic in the UK.. Likewise in 1976 a strange incident happen in Santa Fe, New Mexico, but this involved a series of voices describing a live UFO episode.
Are there other ALIEN-BROADCAST incidents -- legit --- as in contact by way of television. Probably ---
Below is --- ALIEN-BROADCAST --- FROM 1977... ENJOY
Here is a full translation done by Ilse Von Jacobi from the book "The UFO Sighting Over Nuremberg in 1561," as cited by Wikipedia & EPOCH TIMES:
In the morning of April 14, 1561, at daybreak, between 4 and 5 a.m., a dreadful apparition occurred on the sun, and then this was seen in Nuremberg in the city, before the gates and in the country – by many men and women. At first there appeared in the middle of the sun two blood-red semi-circular arcs, just like the moon in its last quarter. And in the sun, above and below and on both sides, the color was blood, there stood a round ball of partly dull, partly black ferrous color. Likewise there stood on both sides and as a torus about the sun such blood-red ones and other balls in large number, about three in a line and four in a square, also some alone. In between these globes there were visible a few blood-red crosses, between which there were blood-red strips, becoming thicker to the rear and in the front malleable like the rods of reed-grass, which were intermingled, among them two big rods, one on the right, the other to the left, and within the small and big rods there were three, also four and more globes.
These all started to fight among themselves, so that the globes, which were first in the sun, flew out to the ones standing on both sides, thereafter, the globes standing outside the sun, in the small and large rods, flew into the sun. Besides the globes flew back and forth among themselves and fought vehemently with each other for over an hour. And when the conflict in and again out of the sun was most intense, they became fatigued to such an extent that they all, as said above, fell from the sun down upon the earth 'as if they all burned' and they then wasted away on the earth with immense smoke. After all this there was something like a black spear, very long and thick, sighted; the shaft pointed to the east, the point pointed west.
Whatever such signs mean, God alone knows. Although we have seen, shortly one after another, many kinds of signs on the heaven, which are sent to us by the almighty God, to bring us to repentance, we still are, unfortunately, so ungrateful that we despise such high signs and miracles of God. Or we speak of them with ridicule and discard them to the wind, in order that God may send us a frightening punishment on account of our ungratefulness. After all, the God-fearing will by no means discard these signs, but will take it to heart as a warning of their merciful Father in heaven, will mend their lives and faithfully beg God, that He may avert His wrath, including the well-deserved punishment, on us, so that we may temporarily here and perpetually there, live as his children. For it, may God grant us his help, Amen.
By Hanns Glaser, letter-painter of Nurnberg.

In 1938, Thomas Gilcrease, a native of Tulsa, Oklahoma, opened the first museum devoted to the art of the American West. A true visionary, Gilcrease was ahead of his time in understanding the importance of America's own heritage. His passion for art and history, his Native American ancestry, and his oil revenues coincided in a rare alignment. His legacy is an astounding collection of paintings, sculptures, artifacts, rare books, and documents. This lavishly produced book, featuring nearly two hundred color reproductions, tells the story of Gilcrease and of the renowned museum that bears his name.
Compiled by the museum's curators, Treasures of Gilcrease exemplifies the beauty and breadth of the museum's resources. The fine art collection alone boasts more than 10,000 American works, ranging in styles from classical to romantic to impressionist and by such master artists as George Catlin, Charles M. Russell, Thomas Moran, and Frederic Remington. The works by Native artists also span styles ranging from painted hides to twentieth-century flat-style. The artifacts—300,000-plus pieces housed in the galleries and vaults—include ceramics, clothing, pipes, and objects of utility, ceremony, and ornamentation. The archives collection contains some 100,000 manuscripts, books, photographs, maps, imprints, and broadsides. Treasures of Gilcrease offers a vivid and engaging tour through these collections in the company of the experts who know them best.

[outfit_details]Blue Cashmere Sweater, Sole Society Cashmere Scarf c/o, Leather Front Leggings (similar)
Sole Society Party Heels c/o, Black Box Bag c/o[/outfit_details]
I love the glitz and glamour of the holidays. A great pair of party heels can really make or break your outfit. After all, I personally make shoe contact before making eye contact sometimes at social gatherings. I'm partnering with Sole Society to talk about the party heels you need during the holidays. These studded and strappy heels are one of Sole Society's top-selling shoes and I can see why! They also come in adobe, which is a beautiful nude. For the holidays though, I can be partial to a good black heel. Mainly because I love to wear black tights or black leggings.
The Tiia is made of a glossy patent faux leather. You're sure to turn heads wearing these! There are two gold ankle strap closures, which I usually need to adjust, but this time I didn't! These party heels definitely make a statement. Whether you're donning a little red dress or just leggings and a sweater like I am here, these heels will add a touch of glamour. Be prepared for people to stop you and ask about them. Of course, these look incredibly similar to the ones made by a famous designer. While these are not the real deal, they are comfortable to wear and true to size!
If you aren't too familiar with Sole Society, they have a nice selection of affordable shoes and accessories. I also have my eyes on a pair of fun heels with a faux fur pom pom! Even if you're not a fan of heels, they have some great party flats, too! This velvet pair is a standout and my favorite. Almost all of the Sole Society brand shoes on their site are less than $200, which makes the price point really attainable. Of course, regardless of price, comfort is a must for me. I can say I have flats, heels and boots and they are all quite comfortable.

All eyes were on the prize, an Egyptian crest. The emblem appeared to be made of gold. There was a picture engraved on it, a man with a ram's head holding a screaming child above the Nile.
Jeremy Elliot planned on purchasing the mansion as an anniversary gift for his wife. They didn't have any property on the west coast and the Malibu location was the very definition of status. Not to mention the fact they were in dire need of a change of scenery. Last year, they took their protesting fifteen year old daughter to an exclusive Easter egg hunt in upper Manhattan. It blew up in their faces when the bus they were riding on was hijacked by a couple of thugs wearing rabbit masks! They had managed to survive the incident but the Easter holiday had seen better days. He hoped a retreat in sunny California would cure those ills.
Jeremy checked his watch. The realtor was supposed to meet him a half hour ago. He needed to be at the airport in two hours. Traffic would be murder. He told himself to calm down. The place was a steal. Some movie star had gone crazy on the property, committing a murder. What's a couple of extra minutes when he knew he'd be saving close to a million dollars? Sure, the place needed a makeover. The star's tastes had been extreme, burgundy carpets and black marble floors with a fully stocked bar on every level. There was a four lane bowling alley in the basement and a back yard pool fashioned with stones from Egypt. With tastes so eccentric it was no wonder the man was dead.
A red Mercedes convertible pulled into the driveway and Jeremy knew his realtor had arrived. A stocky grey haired man in his mid '50s rushed up and offered his hand.
"Dale Briggs, Property of the Stars. Sorry I'm late."
Jeremy eyed the man dubiously. Although the realtor was adequately dressed, he looked shabby like he'd been sleeping in his clothes. An earthy scent hung about him as if he used lake water as aftershave. The guy stumbled through the house like a puppet on strings. If he wasn't in California, Jeremy would have certainly been suspicious.
"Aren't you supposed to give me full disclosure?" Jeremy asked anxious to tie things up.
"Whatever do you mean, Mr. Elliot? There was a murder. I am sure the tabloids can provide you with any gruesome details you desire. The bank has stated the asking price is non-negotiable."
"I'm not looking for a better price Mr. Briggs. I'm looking for answers. I want to know exactly how Mr. Grant killed his assistant and where he died. I can't find that information anywhere."
"Why would you need this information?"
"Because if this is going to be my place of residence, morbid curiosity compels me to know if the bedroom I'm sleeping in is the place where Seth Grant cut his assistant's head off!"
"There was no beheading Mr. Elliot."
"I know that! I was told they both died of some kind of drowning but you get my point?"
Dale Briggs nodded.
"So, tell me what I need to know."
"Very well, Mr. Elliot. Seth Grant murdered his assistant with a pitcher of water."
Jeremy raised an eyebrow "You mean he drowned her?"
"No. It was water intoxication."
"Water intoxication? That's absurd. I've never heard of anything so silly."
"I'm surprised you've never heard of water intoxication Mr. Elliot. Andy Warhol died from it. Egyptian slaves died from it when the pyramids were being built."
Jeremy scoffed at the thought. "Such a strange way to die, how did he give her so much water?"
"He forced a funnel down her throat."
"Christ! What kind of god gave him that idea?"
The relator raised an eyebrow "Poseidon or would you prefer Neptune?"
"Not funny, Briggs. Where did Seth Grant commit suicide?"
"Well, Mr. Elliot. It wasn't exactly the suicide they claim. Mr. Grant died of something known as 'dry drowning'. A rare occurrence, when water is introduced into the lungs and the larynx closes. The diaphragm cannot be filled with air so the person suffocates while trying to breathe."
"Horrible, suffocation while breathing! How in the world did that happen?"
"It was theorized Grant took a swim a short time after the murder. Adrenaline may have played a part in his accidental intake, the delayed effects of the injury were not known until it was too late. He was taken to the police station where he blamed, Khnum, the Egyptian God of the Nile for the deed."
"Khnum? God of the Nile, huh?"
"That's correct. Mr. Grant believed Khnum was living in his swimming pool. He died handcuffed to a chair in a police interrogation room while the detective in charge was using the restroom."
"So, he died at the police station and blamed the murder on an Egyptian God?"
"That's correct Mr. Elliot."
Jeremy reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a pen "I'm ready to sign."
Four days later the happy family finally arrived at their new 'summer' home. Apprehensions about the looming Easter holiday appeared to be in the past as the conversations centered on the future.
"What an amazing anniversary gift!" beamed Melissa as she burst through the front door.
Tasha rolled her eyes at the emotional façade.
"Remember, my sweetie. No changes have been made." said Jeremy "I left the decorating to you. The previous owner was a dreadful action film star and a bit of an oddball. Every floor has a fully stocked bar!"
Melissa twirled around in the foyer. "A bar on every floor? How drool! Alcoholism is so out!"
The happy moment was abruptly interrupted by an unexpected doorbell ring.
"We haven't been here five minutes, who in the hell can that be?" boomed Jeremy.
"Not nosey neighbors! After the press in New York, I don't think I can take it." added Melissa.
"Don't worry, I'll handle it." answered Jeremy.
He swung open the door to find a sixteen year old gothic girl standing on the front stoop.
"Who in the hell are you?"
The girl rolled her eyes in response. Tasha quickly stepped between them.
"Dad, this is my friend Claire Patterson. Remember? She moved to LA last year? We've kept in touch on Facebook. I asked her to come over."
"Oh right! Welcome Claire." said Jeremy his face turning red.
"It's nice to see you again Claire." beamed Melissa with a façade as thin as paper.
"Whatever." responded the perceptive teenager.
Tasha let a huge scowl form on her face, "I don't know any of these people! The moving truck isn't coming till Tuesday! I look like shit. I smell like shit. I doubt anyone will like me."
Claire threw her hands up, "Are you kidding me? You're a legend already! I told people about what happened in New York, now you own Seth Grant's house, people are dying to meet you!"
"Who's Seth Grant?"
"He was a big time action star who murdered his assistant then committed suicide in this house. He supposedly called his agent to tell him what happened, the poor guy ended up in an insane asylum, rambling about Egyptian Gods."
"Egyptian Gods? Woah! That's warped. When did all this supposedly happen?"
"Five years ago." Claire switched to a spooky tone, "The house has been vacant ever since."
"That's not funny."
"I wasn't trying to be. Everything I told you is real."
"I'm not so sure I want to have this party."
"Are you kidding me? Do you know how hard it is to make friends here? You have a story that will hand them to you on a silver platter, I'm not going to let you fuck it up."
Tasha stuck her tongue out.
"Make all the faces you want, people expect you to be weird after the shit you've been through."
"What did you tell them?" asked Tasha in a curious tone.
"Just enough to make you irresistible. Relax! All we are going to do is have a few drinks, smoke a little weed and swim in your new pool, how bad can it be?"
"It's a movie opening and dinner. Your mother has always wanted to attend one." said Jeremy. "I expect to be gone three or four hours. I know you're hosting a 'get together' tonight with Claire. Please use your best judgement. Don't burn the house down while we're away."
Tasha rolled her eyes. "I know dad. Can we please use the pool tonight?"
Jeremy wanted to say no. He'd intended on checking out this pool with the mysterious Egyptian God tomorrow but his wife quickly intervened.
"Of course sweetheart! I unpacked some towels, they're in the linen closet."
Melissa hugged her child, "You are getting so big." She started to cry, "I'm sorry about last year. Those evil men, I'm so glad you're safe!"
"I'm fine mom, that was a year ago, everything's ok now."
"Alright. We'll celebrate Easter tomorrow." said Melissa not entirely ready to let her child go.
"That's fine mom." said Tasha as she gently pushed her away.
"See you guys later! Don't be late. Have a good time!"
Forty-five minutes later the guests began to arrive, gothic kids as pale as powdered donuts entered the home with little more than a shrug to their host.
"Are they all zombies like this?" asked Tasha.
"This is California, what'd you expect?" answered Claire.
A wiry gothic boy with long jet black hair approached Tasha.
"Hey, I'm Josh! Do you mind if I make myself a drink, I heard there's a bar on every floor?"
Tasha smiled. "Sure, pick whatever bar you like, just don't make a mess."
Josh smiled back then headed for the nearest bar. Liquor boosted his confidence. He downed a couple of mixed drinks and gazed out the window at the lame pool party. All the kids were just sitting around. Everyone was afraid to swim. They had all heard the tales of the Egyptian God and the haunted pool, there was a reason a kick ass house like this had been vacant for so long.
Josh thought it was all bullshit and now was his time to prove them wrong. He decided to head outside and mix things up. "This is a pool party, why isn't anybody swimming?" he asked.
"We all know the legend Josh, why don't you go for a plunge?" responded Claire.
Josh felt his buzz as he eyed the pool. The water was crystal clear, a faint aroma of chlorine hung in the air. There's nothing to be afraid of, he thought.
"You weak bitches really think some punk Egyptian God is going to drown me?"
The group was silent, everyone but Tasha looked away. He caught her eyes and winked.
"Well, fuck you all then!" screamed Josh and he dove into the pool.
Josh swam through the clear water. He touched the bottom and decided to pull a prank by sprawling himself out and pretending to be unconsciousness.
"Hey! He's not moving." said Josh's best friend Mike Wallace, a short fat kid with spiky hair.
There was an enormous splash as several boys and a few girls jumped into the pool to save Josh.
Just as they reached his body, he rolled over in the water and started to laugh.
"You dick! You tricked us into coming in here!" screamed Claire.
Josh grinned back. "It worked, didn't it? You bunch of babies! There's nothing to be afraid of!"
The other kids felt stupid and reluctantly joined in. Drinks were poured and music blared.
The teenagers started to splash around and have fun.
"This party is definitely improving!" cried Claire between splashes.
"I know! I am so happy!" wailed Tasha.
Josh gathered a couple of boys at the shallow end of the pool. "Let's have a race underwater to see who can touch that crest on the deep end first."
"What about the others?" asked some skinny long haired kid with bad acne.
"Consider them obstacles." answered Josh.
"What do we get if we win?" asked Mike.
"Fifty bucks." said Josh. "My old man pays me to go out so he can get busy with his new wife."
The boys all nodded their heads in agreement.
"Alright, let's do it." said Mike.
The boys lined up at the edge of the pool, one hand clasped to the side. All eyes were on the prize, an Egyptian crest. The emblem appeared to be made of gold. There was a picture engraved on it, a man with a ram's head holding a screaming child above the Nile.
"On your marks, get set, go!"
The race was on. The group streaked full throttle towards their shimmering prize while the rest of the party goers remained unaware of the chaos about to ensue.
"Hey! Something just brushed past my leg!" said Tasha moving away from the pack of boys.
"What the hell, is this some kind of a race?" asked Claire speaking to no one in particular.
Josh and Mike were neck and neck. The crest was in full view, seemingly dancing in the reflecting moonlight, enticing them to touch it.
Josh grabbed a quick gulp of air then forced his body down towards the crest.
Mike was next to him in a flash but Josh was faster, he touched the crest just ahead of his friend.
Josh was giving Mike the finger when the crest unexpectedly dropped away! A black hole appeared in front of them. It was about the size of a garbage can lid.
Mike swam up cautiously to investigate. A spear suddenly flew out of the darkness and impaled him. Blood mixed with water as Mike's corpse began floating to the top. Josh moved to help his friend and caught a glimpse of a figure leaving the hole!
It was the Egyptian God come to life! A man's body with the head of a ram began swimming towards him. The eyes of the God glowed red. He could feel the malice in its inhuman face!
Josh burst through the pool surface, "Quick! Everybody out of the pool!"
But it was too late. The bottom of the pool suddenly felt strange to their toes, the ceramic tile replaced with the muddy floor of the Nile!
The water level lowered as they sunk down into the mud. Vegetation appeared out of nowhere and began populating the pool. The temperature started rising as the water began to boil. The helpless children became a human stew fit for a god!
"Sorry Tasha!" cried Claire just before she exploded. Her remains dropped back into the boiling pool like charred cutlets of meat.
Tasha shrieked. Her eyes turned white as poached eggs then popped out of her head, falling helplessly into the bloody broth she now stood in.
Josh took his own life with Mike's femur bone. He knew there was no chance of escape. Khnum was known to show no mercy.
The God watched his death with glee. Soon his flesh milk would be ready for consumption. He would be assured a longer existence, his servant had done well.
"Has everything been to your liking, my Lord?" asked a voice.
Khnum turned to face his servant Dale Briggs.
"Yes." answered the God.
"What shall I do with the owner of this house and his wife?" asked the servant.
"Nothing, the unexplained will drive them mad. Offer to sell the home when they are gone."
"As you wish my master."
Dale Briggs stared at the God. The Egyptian deity had treated him far better than Seth Grant. The arrogant action star had been foolish, sending him to Egypt to procure decorations. His time in the asylum had given him time to think and apply for a real estate license. The God's offer had been too tempting to reject…
"Leave me." Commanded Khnum.
Dale Briggs nodded. It was time to find another family stupid enough to purchase this property.
Khnum turned to face his flesh milk. The aroma of boiling blood and broken bones was intoxicating. Nothing was better than feeding on the suffering of others! The salivating God pulled a special straw made of Nile reeds out of his tunic and began to drink.

Saw a YouTube video of this new assembly from e3d. Wondering if there are any thoughts around it. Is it a potential improvement over the stock Taz unit?
I was just considering starting a thread about it. I like the idea of having one extruder for both hard and soft filament. I don't know enough about extruder design to know if their claims are worth anything though.
Its an interesting geared design. I like the compactness of the extruder. The replaceable guide for printing both 1.75 and 3.00 is interesting also… and seems to extend close enough to the bearing and hobbed gear to work with flexible filaments.
I'd give it a shot… but would require a mount for the x-carriage.
I ordered one and it arrives today. Once I get it installed and run some quality tests I'll post my results (and any custom parts I may need to print)
I have one on the way as well. I think it might need a half height motor to fit on the carriage without pushing the nozzle tip forward of the stock location.
I'm curious to see what people think of it, the ideas seem decent, but real life sometimes doesn't cooperate. I've seen people suggest the short stack NEMA 17s to reduce weight saying that the gear reduction should still have plenty of torque.
Wonder if one could mount the Hexagon stuff to it… Then I wouldn't have to build a wiring harness… Just me feeling lazy.
So I just got it installed into the printer and it's heating up to 285 for the final nozzle tightening. It was a LOT of work, requiring a whole new X carriage - I think thats the proper term - the piece that the motor, gears, etc all mount to with the 'blade' at the bottom that self centers on the X axis.
I went with a design that has the motor flush with the back of it, touching the X carriage piece. I figured that this way, as much of the motor weight as possible as as close to the X rails as possible. The farther out you put it, the more it could cause the rails to twist, giving you some sag. Closer center of gravity.
Because of that I had to move the fan that cools the print to the other side (and reverse it's angle).
The stock fans that come with it to cool the heatsink are 12v, I decided to connect them to the Extruder 1 Fan output, and if you run that at 50% speed, it gets 12v, and works great. An added side effect is I can turn the fan off when not printing.
It was a LOT of work. I'll post pics and stuff in a bit once I get this going and do a few test prints.
My TAZ extruder had extra crap on it - a capacative leveling system, an extra fan on the heat sinks. It weighed 762 grams.
The new one, with the Titan, with the same/equilivant equipment on it weighed in at 611 grams - 20% less weight. That's using a standard NEMA17 motor, NOT one of the shorter ones. Didn't spend the money on it yet. If I switch up to that smaller motor, I'll probably knock off another 20% in weight.
I'm not sure how much reducing the X carriage weight by 20% will effect print quality/max speed, but at 20% less mass to accel/decelerate, it HAS to be a decent improvement.
Welp, I'm pretty sure I was shipped 12v heating elements with my E3D nozzles instead of 24v.
I was about to post that I was shocked how quickly the hot end heated up, it was making 9 degree jumps at a time. I got it up to 285 and realized I couldn't reach the nozzle to finishing tightening it, so I jog the Z axis up a few times, then it stops. What? I look at the LCD - thermal runaway protection error. Probably because of the 285 I'm trying. So I reset the printer, hit 280 this time, and it doesnt heat. At all.
Fuse still works (the extruder fans are on).
Pretty sure I just killed the 12v heating element. Looks like I'm going shopping. I'll post a test print update once I finally get a print done.
My Titan arrived last weekend. I am looking forward to seeing your mount.
Ok, made a mount which had issues and I'm now printing v2 of that mount (using the v1 to do it! I love how meta that is - the main issue was support for the motor/hotend. It had some sag, so I added some supporting structure.
The files and details are available here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1523837
Here are two very prototype pics of v1 of my mount. Excuse the wires everywhere - I keep modifying things and learned a long time ago not to clean it up and make it pretty until I know I'm not tweaking anything else. Like I said, version 2 in the link above has extra support structure to it to keep the motor/hotend from sagging. Those supports are not in the pictures below:
How does the forward / aft position of the nozzle compare to stock with this setup?
At least the height of the stepper motor… unless mounting backwards, then could be pretty close to stock.
I've been working on a dual side by side for a friend, using the half height motors is about 40mm+12.5 for the hotend.
Ohhh…that sounds like it might then be possible for 3, or even 4 extruders?
I was thinking… if you turn it 90 deg CCW, you could get the hotend pretty close to the stock hotend.
As for 3-4 extruders… definitely possible, but then you'd need a different control board.
You could, but then getting the faceplate off to swap hot ends or to clear a jam would be a major pain in the butt. Thats why I mounted it front facing - but - it's all personal preference.
Even with it somewhat off on the X axis and much further forward on the Y, it was simple enough to loosen, shift, and retighten the bed so it's centered, and I still have 100% of the bed to use.
Front facing would be my preference also.
One of the attractive aspects of the Titan is access to the hotend. Making dedicated hotends for filament types feasible.
I love the Titan. Reduced my extruder weight by 20%, I can go 1.75 or 3mm without hassle, and can print flexible without a $300 upgraded extruder.
My only complaint is I wish it were easier to swap hot ends. A quick release system would be great for a v2 Titan. I may even try modding my Titan for that. Only need to reengineer the front plate. Hmm. Looks like I have a new project for today!
Also planning to add a self adjusting sled for my capacitive probe to further reduce weight, plus auto accommodate different head heights.
Swapping hotends should be pretty easy… put some thumbscrew caps on the 4 M3 socket cap screws for toolless cover remval. I'd ungroup the connectors for the for the hotend (heater, and thermistor) and fix it on the mount so that it can easily be disconnected for swapping.
After a few revisions on the dual extruder idea, it looks like we're going to put the extruders face to face. The mount will allow for the extruder assembly to be removed for servicing and swapping for dedicated filaments. Keeping the hotends centered on the mount will hopefully reduce the need to level the nozzles individually… Still early, but seems feasible if we can find the space under the mount for blowers.
Very interested in purchasing one of these. I have a taz 4 with an e3d v6. I bought another e3d v6 to make a flexystruder, but this looks to be the ticket. Has anyone compared the flexystruder vs. The titan? Also not to change topics but Ive been wanting to get a palette http://www.mosaicmanufacturing.com , and now with titan being able to swap easy to 1.75 mm filament, I can. Has anyone used the palette?
Any chance you finished a dual titan dual e3d v6 carriage/mount? I am desperately searching for one. Also looking for a chimera mount for Taz 5.

State inspectors are stepping up oversight at gas stations in Massachusetts to guard against potential price gouging.
The Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation said Sunday it sent an alert to Division of Standards field inspectors to pay close attention to what it calls unusually high prices.
Nationwide, the average for a gallon of unleaded is $3.74. State officials say it's $3.73 a gallon in Massachusetts.
Officials say inspectors will take a look at gas stations with prices that are significantly more than what's charged at stations in the immediate vicinity. Inspectors also check for product quality such as octane accuracy and compliance with advertising and sign requirements.

In 1997, the world had yet to learn of the Smiley Face Killers when Patrick McNeill went mysteriously missing from uptown Manhattan in the dead of winter and his body was found months later in the East River beside a Brooklyn pier.
On the night of November 29, 1988, near the impoverished Marlborough neighborhood in south Kansas City, an explosion at a construction site killed six of the city's firefighters. It was a clear case of arson, and five people from Marlborough were duly convicted of the crime. But for veteran crime writer and crusading editor J. Patrick O'Connor, the facts—or a lack of them—didn't add up. Justice on Fire is OConnor's detailed account of the terrible explosion that led to the firefighters' deaths and the terrible injustice that followed. Also available from Amazon
With the purpose of writing about true crime in an authoritative, fact-based manner, veteran journalists J. J. Maloney and J. Patrick O'Connor launched Crime Magazine in November of 1998. Their goal was to cover all aspects of true crime: Read More

Nutritional status and longevity study of Sanjivani (10%) prepared by utilizing different available materials.
Sourav Mohanta
The experiment was conducted during January-2013 to June-2013 at the laboratory of IRTDM faculty centre, Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda University, Morabadi, Ranchi-834008 to study on the nutritional status and longevity of Sanjivani 10% solution (an organic preparation) prepared by utilizing different based materials. The treatments were prepared by utilizing different easily available materials like-cow dung, poultry litter and goat excreta along with cow urine and water at 1:1:10 ratios. From the experiment, it was revealed that T2 (Poultry litter: Cow urine: Water @ 1:1:10 proportions) was the best treatment among all other treatments when both nutritional status as well as longevity of the treatment in respect of the nutrient content were taken into consideration. Other treatments with poultry litter as an ingredient viz. T4, T6 and T7 recorded significant result in terms of available Organic C, Nitrogen (N), Potassium (K) and Phosphorus (P) content. Although, the higher longevity with higher amount of nutrients content even after 15 days of preparation was also observed in treatments like T3, T5, T6 and T7those contained goat excreta as a based material probably due to the lower rate of their decomposition.
Keywords: Organic inputs, Cow dung, Cow urine, Poultry litter, Goat excreata.

Estate Planning Round-Up July 2020
Will COVID Change Long-Term Care Planning?
Sunday, January 24, 2010
A Grantor Retained Annuity Trust (GRAT) is an advanced estate planning tool sanctioned by the IRS. GRATs are a great vehicle to benefit both you and your heirs. With a GRAT, you typically put an investment asset in this trust. Your heirs receive the investment earnings, and you receive the principal back, all while avoiding any gift tax consequences. Like loans, GRATs mature after a number of years.
GRATs are grantor trusts. As such, they allow you to pay capita -gains and income taxes on the investments in the GRAT on behalf of your heirs. Because the IRS doesn't consider such tax payments a gift, they are another way to transfer wealth to the next generation free of gift and estate taxes.
But there are drawbacks. Because GRATs have to pay you higher rates than short-term and medium-term family loans, they pass along slightly less to your heirs. The biggest risk is that you might die before your trust ends. In that situation, it's as if the GRAT never existed: Its entire value -- including returns -- is generally included in your estate and subject to tax.

- CO2 Emissions (Scope 3)
- Initiatives in Production

Our Approach to Climate Change
Subaru's business requires much energy at the production stage and also at the stage when Subaru products are used, and most of the energy we use currently depends on fossil fuels. Governments such as Japan, the United States, Canada, Australia, Europe and China, which are the main markets of Subaru, have established automobile fuel efficiency regulations and CO2 emission regulations, which directly and continuously impact our use of energy. Similarly, the energy consumed by factories and others in the process of production is affected by the Energy Conservation Law and others.
In order to contribute to the realization of the 2°C Scenario, Subaru revised in April 2017 for the first time in about seven years the "Environmental Policy," which is the basis of our principles. The revised Environmental Policy declares that we tackle climate change from a medium- to long-term perspective in order to achieve sustainable growth of Subaru and society. Based on this policy, we announced specific targets to achieve in the New Mid-Term Management Vision "STEP" announced in July 2018 and the business report in the same year. We have begun formulating striving towards these goals.
As part of our efforts, we announced that we aim to reduce our direct CO2 emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 30% on a total emissions volume basis by FYE 2031 (compared with FYE 2017). We have also announced the direction of our efforts towards low carbonization of Subaru products, such as electrification of our products, in the New Mid-Term Management Vision "STEP."
Risks and Opportunities Related to Climate Change
At Subaru, we believe that introduction and strengthening of environmental regulations for products are the major risks in the business environment. For example, demands to improve fuel consumption such as exhaust gas regulations and the CAFE standard (Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standard) and introduction and strengthening of standards related to percentage of units sold to sales of next generation environment-friendly vehicles including EVs (e.g. ZEV regulations) are some examples.
Subaru's automobile sales volume in Japan, the US, Europe, etc., where these regulations are being strengthened, accounts for 80% or more of the total, and there is a possibility that the loss of revenue opportunities and the cost increase may be affected if we do not comply with regulations.
On the other hand, AWD, which is a major strategic vehicle 90% of which Subaru is introducing to the market, has a great opportunity to cope with recent climate change, compared to FW and FR automobiles of 2WD. The main reason for this is that traveling stability unique to AWD is very good compared to 2WD on rough road after torrential rain and snowy road surface due to heavy snowfall. There is a possibility that the recognition that it is a automobile that can run safely and with peace of mind expands and leads to an increase in sales opportunities.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions Related to Subaru Group
Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the Supply Chain
Greenhouse gas emissions in the supply chain for FYE2018 were 29.25 million t-CO2.
Subaru participated in the Ministry of the Environment "Support for Calculating Supply Chain Greenhouse Gas Emissions toward an Environmental Information Disclosure Infrastructure," and received assistance from NTT Data Institute of Management Consulting, Inc. in Scope 3 calculations. We will continue to promote identifying and managing GHG emissions.

Initiatives in Production
Based on the Act on the Rational Use of Energy, Subaru has set the mid- and long-term targets and has been making efforts to reduce CO2 by quantitatively replacing equipment and devices such as lighting with energy-conserving equipment.
Energy Conservation Initiatives
Introduction of cogeneration system
A gas cogeneration system was installed in the Subaru Training Facility in December 2015 to use energy more effectively.
By making use of the cleanness of city gas as the fuel for gas cogeneration and by effective utilization of waste heat, we have the effect of reducing CO2 emissions by approximately one-third compared with conventional systems.
Installed latest energy-saving equipment
In the automobile painting process, it is necessary to repeat "warm up" and "cool down," which requires much energy. Thus at the Yajima Plant of GunmaPlant, we introduced a highly efficient heat source system centered on the heat pump in 2018 and efficiently produce hot and cold heat compared to conventional technology (individual heat source system).
With these improvements, we will continue work on energy conservation and reduction of CO2 emissions.
Initiatives in Distribution
Reducing the Environmental Impact of Transport of Subaru Automobiles
Subaru will review the transport of Subaru automobile from time to time, and establish optimal standard transport routes, promote modal shift, change the composition of completed automobile model to be transported, improve loading efficiency by flexibly responding to larger automobile size, and introduce digital tachograph that contribute to energy saving. We will continue its efforts to reduce environmental impact by promoting efficient transportation.
In recent years, we have been able to reduce the amount of fuel use (improved fuel efficiency) and CO2 emissions from completed automobile transportation by effectively using the improved Tokyo metropolitan highway network.
In FYE 2018, CO2 emissions during transport per Subaru automobile decreased by 8.3% compared with the target of 1% reduction from FYE 2007 level. We will continue its efforts to work on further reduce CO2 emissions.
Reducing Environmental Impact on Exports of Subaru Automobile Overseas Production Parts
Introduction of round use
Round use is to convert empty maritime containers used for import into exports without returning them to the port, by directly transporting from importers to exporters, or by utilizing neighboring inland container depots. It is a mechanism to reduce the empty container transport from the port. Subaru Logistics Co., Ltd., which exports overseas production parts of Subaru automobiles, introduced this initiative in July 2017 and will continue to reduce CO2 emissions.
Concept of Container Round Use
Improvement of container filling rate
Subaru Logistics Co., Ltd., (SLCO) which handles packaging and transport of complete knockdown (CKD)* parts of Subaru automobiles has been carrying out activities to improve container filling ratio to reduce unnecessary space inside containers by improving packaging such as through slimming of and reducing weight of packaging material. As a result, the filling rate (weight) in FYE 2018 reached 98.4%, and the filling rate (volume) improved to 88.3%. SLCO will continue to improve the container filling rate and work on improving transport efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions.
Changes in Container Filling Rate
Optimizing parts supply
Subaru had established four domestic area parts centers between October 2013 and October 2016 with the goal of making part supply more efficient.
By consolidating the parts warehouses that had been scattered among the 44 Subaru domestic dealerships throughout Japan into four centers and reviewing the transport routes from there, CO2 emissions during transport were reduced by 64.8% in FYE2017 from the FYE2013 level.
Introduction of natural gas vehicles
Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc. (SIA), the US production base of Subaru automobiles, in cooperation with Venture Logistics, a company in charge of parts delivery, is proceeding with the introduction of natural gas vehicles.
Compressed natural gas (CNG) has a lower environmental impact than diesel fuel and is superior in terms of cost efficiency and reliability. One significant hurdle to CNG was that there were no supply stations for natural gas close by. SIA financed the Venture Logistics with CNG truck installation fee of more than $ 1 million in 2014 and established a natural gas stand at the SIA property site to promote the introduction. As a result of introducing CNG fleet trucks, 1,097 tons of CO2 emissions per day were eliminated (corresponding to 85% of emissions before the introduction). Energy costs were also reduced by a total of $389,136 compared to using diesel fuel.
Initiatives in Sales
Energy Conservation Initiatives in Domestic Dealerships
In order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Subaru Domestic dealerships are sequentially switching to LED lights and high-efficient type air conditioners at the timing of renovation.
Initiatives in Offices
Introduction of Environmentally Advanced Building
The New West Building in Gunma Plant completed in April 2016 had introduced various environmental technologies for reducing environmental impacts. Solar power panels generate 20kW of energy, and solar heat from solar heat collection panels is used to provide hot water for the kitchens. In addition, a new-generation lighting system combining individual address type control and image sensing type human sensor is introduced in the high-efficiency LED lighting. The air conditioning uses high-efficiency air-cooled heat pump chillers.
It has also introduced low-emissivity glazed window glass with high heat shielding and heat insulating properties, and a cool heat trench that takes outside air from a ventilation tower through an underground isolation layer to pre-cool or preheat the air and supplies to each floor. The building plans also introduced several innovations such as providing balconies to create a solar radiation shielding effect while creating rest areas, contributing to both energy conservation and a comfortable working environment without relying only on machinery.
The new headquarters building and training center of Subaru of America, Inc. (SOA), completed in April 2018, is designed with consideration for the environmental impact based on the LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) certification system (Environmental Performance Evaluation System operated by US Green Building Council). SOA plan to promoting activities with the aim of acquiring LEED certification next fiscal year.
Basic Concept regarding Energy
Based on the Law Concerning the Act on the Rational Use, etc. of Energy, we are working on energy conservation through switching facilities and equipment including lighting equipment and through use of renewable energy.
Energy Consumption
Energy consumption in FYE2018 increased by 6,841 ㎘ from the previous year.
The main reason for this is an increase in the production volume of automobiles. We will continue aiming for further energy conservation by introducing the latest energy-saving equipment and renewable energy.
Related information
Introduction of Renewable Energy
Subaru installed solar power system facilities at the Subaru Research and Experiment Center building constructed in FYE 2018 and the Oizumi Plant of Fuji Machinery Co., Ltd. Utilization of renewable energy such as solar power system is becoming an increasingly important option as an energy source that does not emit CO2. It is also effective for securing stable supply by diversifying energy sources. At the Gunma Oizumi Plant, we are planning to reduce CO2 emissions of about 2,370 tons of CO2 per year by installing the Japan's largest-scale solar power generation system (for an annual output of 5,000 MWh/year).
In the Tokyo Office, two 10kw solar power generation systems in December 2009 and March 2014 and one 5kw facility in January 2014 on the main office building roof, one 2kw system in March 2014 in the guardhouse, and one 2.7kw facility in 2016 in the special high-voltage substation were introduced. We now generate 33,809.7 kWh per year, and effectively utilize it as part of the electric power of the Tokyo Office.
In 2014, we introduced solar power system with a rated output of 420 kw (corresponding to 100 detached houses) as a power distribution project in Kiryu City, Gunma Prefecture, and we started a project to generate and sell electricity of 427,706 kWh per year.
Establishment of Environmentally Conscious Parts center and Training Center
Subaru of America, Inc.'s Parts and Training Center in Florence, New Jersey opened in June 2013 has awarded LEED certification for environmentally conscious buildings. This facility has a solar power generation system with 1 MW power generation capacity is installed on the rooftop, and a new server with about half the power consumption compared to the conventional one is being introduced.
In FYE2018, SOA switched the lighting fixtures to LED light bulbs, reducing the total electricity consumption by 13.13%.
Introduction of Micro-Hydroelectric Power Generation System using circulating water
In January 2014, the Tokyo Office installed micro-hydroelectric power generation system (2.9 kW) as an energy recovery system using cooling circulating water at some of its research facilities, and its system is now generating about 13,000 kWh of electricity per year (corresponds to electricity use of three households). This system installs water wheel which rotates with the water's head to generate electricity. Power generated by this system is used for circulating water pump.

When he first wrote to us from Faraway Island,
he wrote, Just think in sentences, damn it.
A pink postcard, rough serrated edges.
The pinking shears again, dianthus pink,
which prevents all unravelings. The fabric of
the sentence is thus cut to match
the fabric of the world: fabricated
to be beside his all too glib,
all too pellucid poetry. Listen:
I count, I look, I write, I see. I take
no liberty. Impersonal and intimate
excoriations, Johnny China on
the shelves, rattling, about to break
both skin and shin, belabored breath, the tide
about to break the dawn…
Such sentences are indeed written from Faraway
to Farafor every day. A sentence-strength
prescription from a world so far afloat
we might have found it in a bottle. My name
is Johnny China. I'm awash on Faraway.
Send help, goddamn you, not more words, for there's
a pirate's parrot here. It eats a preposition
every day. Do you understand me? On Farafor.

I knew this would be my "comeback" program as soon as I saw the official teaser video, but I didn't know just how much of a comeback I'd be having with Morning Meltdown 100.
I wanted to give myself grace because this was the first time I'd fully committed to a program since Troian was born in March. I'd not really dialed in on nutrition yet because I wanted to make sure my milk supply was established for breastfeeding. That was my priority.
I went into Morning Meltdown 100 with zero expectations.
The results I've gotten in just 20 days, I expected them MAYBE after 100. I didn't expect them so soon, but I am amazed at what proper nutrition and a wide variety of exercises can do.
I am down 5 lbs and 9 inches in just 20 days. If you couldn't tell from the before and durings, most of those inches lost came from my waist. I feel excellent and I love what this program is doing for me both physically and mentally.
Beachbody has several vegan-friendly meal plans and this one is no exception. There is plenty of variety and the included nutrition plan has quite a few already vegan recipes. Many of the other recipes can be made vegan with a simple swap of protein choice (I use tempeh and tofu often, but I'll sometimes choose chickpeas or beans depending on the recipe).
For me, a breastfeeding mother, I decided to eat in maintenance mode. I didn't want to risk messing up my milk supply, so I eat in a maintenance plan to account for the extra 500 or so calories my body is using just by creating food for baby T.
I've been eating lots of oatmeal (great for milk production) and staying hydrated as well to make sure my milk supply stays up. I have noticed no dip in my milk production.
Some of my favorite meals and snacks so far have been curried quinoa with peas and mango or peaches, tostadas, avocado toast, cashew lime cheesecake, and pumpkin spice cookies.
One of the things that makes Morning Meltdown 100 different from traditional workout-from-home programs that you might be familiar with is that you NEVER repeat a single workout. This program is filmed in real time and the cast goes through all 100 individual workouts in the same order you do!
There is such a variation among the workouts so you don't get bored. There's a good mix of weightlifting, HIIT (high intensity interval training), core work, upper and lower body lifting, MMA (mixed martial arts), and even built in yoga recovery days. Each day feels brand new because it is brand new.
Many of the moves are ones that I have never seen before, so don't think you're just going to be doing burpees and squats on repeat. There are plenty of those, but also new moves like starbursts, firecrackers, bravehearts, and "badass jumps".
I promise to keep you all updated over the next 80 days!
If you're ready to get your own results, you know where to find me.

Bazlur Rahman , the Editor of the Daily Sangbad from Dhaka says that the unfortunate event in the Dhaka University Campus which led to mass disturbance across Bangladesh proves that people are not happy with this government.
In an interview, with this reporter Rahman says that "evil force" theory which government is trying to put forward as a make belief matter is an old theory and is unlikely to work.
The message that is given to the government is loud and clear. They need to understand the reasons for the grievances and should try and address those. Bazlur Rahman also reminds the government of their commitment to hold a free and fair election.

We tried to get livestream data from an ultrasonic sensor connected to the raspberry pi 3 to Thingworx. But when we try to execute the java archive, we get an error message that the -jar main class could not be loaded or found. You find this error message attached.
Thanks in advance for every answer.
It seems like you have not specified the class-path correctly.
Read the Article to understand and setting of class path.
Since it's well know issue which anyone faces if classpath and classnames are not mentioned , I would suggesting looking for "Could not find or load main class" Error while running java program using cmd prompt" online to know more about this.
Thank you. I set the classpath right and it worked. But the output of the command does not look like it should. It appears an error that shuts down the EMS. Any further ideas to solve this issue? You can again find a screenshot attached.
Thanks in advance.
Again it throwing exception java.lang.NumberFormatException for Input String as shown in screenshot , is this input string is appkey ? Did you copied it correctly , does it have white spaces.
Also , let me know what other changes you made before running the jar on RPI
Yes, this input string is the appkey. I'm relatively sure that I copied it correctly and there aren't any white spaces.
There aren't many changes I do before. I only installed java jdk7, used chmod +x on ultrasonic.py and set the correct classpath.
The command should look like this: java –jar ultrasonic.jar ws://yourInstanceURL:80/Thingworx/WS YourAppKey pinIn pinout
and the output should look like this:
I got this from a PTC software engineer, but his mail account apparently doesn't exist anymore.
Try to use IP of the Thingworx server rather than Hostname. Not sure if this will resolve the problem here , but it resolved the similar kind of issue once for Debanjan Bose .
Also , I would suggest using same version (i.jdk1.8) while making the jar and also while running the jar from RPI.
Thanks Ravi, you already helped me a lot.
I put the IP in for the host name, but the connection was unsuccessfull. The jdk version installed on the pi should be the correct one.
Any further ideas?
Benno Haunert - I believe issue is occurring due to putting http along with ws. Can you try removing http:// in your command similar as below -
java -jar ultrasonic.jar ws://220.127.116.11:80/Thingworx/WS YourAppKey pinIn pinout
Good catch Durgesh Patel, http should not be used .
Benno Haunert Please also let us know which document are you following to create and execute the jar.
The error which you are getting now is again related to classpath and/or missing jars: "you dont have java assist in your classpath or you have dont have enough permission to dynamically load classes"
Javassist is a library for byte code manipulation.
Seems , more like environment issue or issue related with compilations and adding third party jars while making the build .
Which build tool are u using to make the jars ? if maven is being used , Please add the following lines in pom.xml and then make the jar again.
Thank you Durgesh Patel, that was a good point, the connection is now successfull.
But now I get another error that it cannot find the python script which reads the sensor data. It is saved in the correct direction /home/pi.
Ravi Upadhyay, it seems the javassist is not required to run the programme.
And I think it's build with eclipse. But that's the problem it is not my jar file and I'm not very familiar with java. I had a WebEx call with the PTC software engineer I mentioned before. In result to that he send me the jar file, the python script and a short tutorial word document. I tried since then to get a running script.
The error:

text: I hate getting new computers. Actually, that's not true - I hate migrating from a working computer to a new computer. My current machine at work is grossly inadequate and a new one is on its way. How depressing. Depressing because it means I'll have to argue for the right to use software that I have paid for and that makes me more productive. The thought of tolerating substandard software just because it is part of a common operating environment is making me nervous and stressed. And even if I get to use the software I rely on, I need to backup and restore a lot of data and config to get a functional, efficient system again... Sigh.

Everyone was in a fix. The ocean had been swallowed up and people had no other source of water (you can read about why this happened in Indian Art's Love of Abundance).
The Holy Ganges River flowed across the sky, like the Milky Way. But how could it be brought down to earth?
The same way that it was swallowed up to begin with. The superhuman powers that another saint accumulated with years of austerities saved the earth. He was a king named Bhagiratha, and he practiced the horrible pancatapas for 1,000 years (he sat under the merciless sun with four fires around him). It's as hard as buying tickets in Indian railroad stations was in the 1990's.
Even Brahma was impressed, and he granted him a wish. But they still needed Shiva's help to bring the holy river down because its powerful torrent could cleave the earth and shatter it.
So Shiva let the river flow through his hair. His matted locks broke the current's force, and the waters cascaded to the Himalayas, and flowed down to the Indian plains.
We can see some uniquely Indian ideas in this story, which are different from the ideas behind Greek temples and Romanesque cathedrals.
1. The river unifies the cosmos. It flows from the sky, through a god's hair, and through all life forms' land. All beings are thus united in a sacred river of life.
2. In the Judeo-Christian tradition, all super-human powers come from one god. But Indian mythology allows room for, not only lots of gods, but many people with super-human powers. That woman in Oxford's Ashmolean museum really would have freaked if she had known this.
3. This multiplication of sources of incredible happenings multiplies the incredible happenings. The swallowing of the ocean by a saint with incredible powers was followed by another saint's bringing a celestial river to earth. No wonder why 1960's flower children were attracted to India.
4. But in India, these stories reinforced assumptions that nature is a vast field full of life force that a saintly person can tap into. The universe isn't grounded in ancient Greek ideas of ratio, or Christian ideas of the Trinity, or of the two Biblical testaments. These ideas made the simple proportioned forms in Romanesque cathedrals meaningful. But Indians saw a vaster universe, in which great powers were less hemmed in.
This Indian vision initially converged from indigenous societys' responses to the environment (The Origins of Indian Thought), and migrating people who brought the Vedic tradition.
Both converged when both people met around 1500 to 1000 BCE. Ganges myths were spreading from 1 to 500CE, and they helped unify India with ideas of a sacred geography. But these ideas already had very deep roots with many dimensions (the two links above will give you a good introduction to them). Ganges myths reinforced them.
And these ideas were further reinforced in visual arts. So we'll return to the carvings at Mahabalipuram in the next post, and see a very different way of expressing reality than Greek temples and Romanesque cathedrals.

The Slowdown Scenario
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
IMAGINE YOU'RE A BIG portfolio manager (unless you are). You spend hours each day with executives discussing company-growth stories and listening to investment ideas from analysts and securities salesmen. And still, at day's end, the market is as unresponsive as the day before. Even after two interest-rate cuts in two weeks.
It's hard not to see the Federal Reserve's recent aggressiveness as a sign that central bankers still respond to economic conditions. The Fed's latest rate-cut statement said that "downside risks to growth remain," which followed news that gross domestic product grew just 0.6% in the fourth quarter, and 2.2% for the year.
Portfolio managers are expected to anticipate news and respond accordingly. What to do? Hiding out in the Hamptons isn't an option, at least not in this weather -- but trading options may be.
Investors who think the U.S. economy will slow despite the Fed's basis-point bellicosity might want to hedge portfolios with securities sensitive to changes in economic-growth expectations. Select Sector Materials SPDR (ticker: XLB) and Select Sector Technology SPDR (XLK) fit that bill, according to Goldman Sachs' derivatives strategists, who recommend establishing put positions.
To trade the slowdown thesis, pick options that expire in three months. Such timing captures the expected market impact from a wave of subprime mortgages scheduled to reset to higher interest rates in March. Event news likely will exacerbate investor concern about falling home prices, and associated slowdowns in consumer and business spending that drive the economy. This could whack technology growth stocks that comprise the XLK, and the XLB's basic-materials components that have benefited from demand by growing economies.
The risks to this trade include more big rate cuts, and Congress passing a meaningful economic-stimulus plan.
IT'S A SIGN OF THESE PERILOUS TIMES WHEN a deep-discount brokerage firm decides to offer its clients pricey risk-management software. Interactive Brokers Group's (IBKR) Risk Navigator platform lets investors manage risk in multiple assets. The real-time data compute a value-at-risk (VAR) figure that displays the maximum probable daily loss based on two years of performance data for each asset. It also offers tools to evaluate how such factors as volatility and changing stock prices impact options.
Interactive Brokers says that similar risk-management systems cost more than a few hundred-thousand dollars. Why give its product away? To satisfy requests from hedge funds, the company contends. Clearly, the firm wants to attract more portfolio managers and high-volume traders who are starting to talk about the trading-profit impact of high options commissions charged by investment banks. If the risk system attracts more well-heeled clients who want inexpensive, direct-access trading to the world's markets, Interactive Brokers' standout stock will add to its more than 35% gain of the past six months.

Donald John "Smart Gut" Trump's jaw-dropping absence of self-awareness is on full display this week.
He has taken aim at the man he selected this past year to lead the Federal Reserve Board. Jerome Powell took the hit for the reeling stock market, giving Trump the headache of watching people's retirement funds — such as mine — shrink before our eyes as investors sell off their stocks.
Chairman Powell is not giving anything back to Trump, the president complained. Trump said he is quite unhappy with the selection of Powell to lead the Fed.
For starters, the Fed is an independent agency that doesn't answer to the president of the United States. Trump doesn't understand that, along with all the other elements of government he doesn't understand.
Then he said he has "a gut" that tells him more than "anyone else's brain" can tell him.
Oh, really, Mr. President?
Well, did your gut tell you to invest in all those endeavors for which you filed bankruptcy before you entered political life? How did Trump University or the Trump Taj Mahal resort work out? Not too well.
Trump's "gut" let him down . . . again and again and again!

There is help
when you
need it –
all you need
to do is
ask –
it may come
as inspiration
or may not be
as you expect –
might help be
in the form
of comfort
in Love sent
from your friends?
Does not posing
the question
start wheels
turning in motion,
does not your
inner voice
wish to be
You may know
the answer
to the questions
that you have –
when you ask
for help,
do you not
give permission
to open up
and to receive?
Is not asking
for help,
a way to
let go of
the struggle
that the human
side of you
knows so well
and as it
fights so hard –
is there not help
at the edges,
in the corners
of your mind,
where your soul
speaks to you?
It may be
faint at first,
but can you
trust your
that is always
there for you?
There is Love,
there is help
from a Universe
that Loves You,
call it God,
Divine –
when you ask
for help,
are you not
asking for Love, too?
Might you receive
all of the Love
that is around
and in You?
There is guidance,
there is Love
as you are
open to receive –
the answer
may not be
what you "think"
you need –
might it be
what you know
in your heart
all along?
Thank you,
thank you,

Henry Bordeaux
Henry Bordeaux
Henry Bordeaux in 1919
|25 January 1870
Thonon-les-Bains, Haute-Savoie, France
|29 March 1963 (aged 93)
Paris, France
|Writer, lawyer
Henry Bordeaux (25 January 1870 – 29 March 1963) was a French writer and lawyer.
Bordeaux came from a family of lawyers of Savoy. He was born in Thonon-les-Bains, Haute-Savoie. His grandfather was a magistrate and his father served on the Chambéry bar. During his early life, he relocated between Savoy and Paris and the tensions between provincial and city life influenced his writings. In his professional life he observed closely the dissolution of numerous families and analysed the causes and consequences of these. From the age of seventeen he spent three years in Paris studying law. Then he returned to practice law in Savoy. He returned to Paris after the publication of his first book during 1894. When his father died in 1896 he returned to Savoy.
The writings of Bordeaux reflect the values of traditional provincial Catholic communities. One recurring theme is loyalty. Loyalty is pervasive, and it applies to family, country and God. This theme is particularly evidenced in the novels "La Peur de vivre" and "Les Roquevillard."
Bordeaux was elected to the Académie française on 22 May 1919. This elite group of writers, popularly known as the "immortals," are responsible for establishing and maintaining the grammar, usage and acceptance of vocabulary into standard French.
He was a contributor to Le Visage de l'Italie, a 1929 book about Italy prefaced by Benito Mussolini.[1]
Bordeaux died in Paris in 1963.
