The Improbable Rise of Singularity Girl looks at artificial intelligence in an unusual way.
The novel follows the 'life' of Helen Roderick, a young scientist who uploads her brain into a bank of computers. What follows is a tale full of humour that examines what it means to be alive, unique and human.
Enjoy the references – it's one for geeks
References to Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett and a host of other works abound throughout this book. To me, this is a great plus point of the novel. It gives you a better sense of the author and of the main character. The worry is that those who don't get these references would be turned off. I wouldn't worry about this for two reasons:
- If you haven't read Adams or Pratchett then you should rectify the situation now.
- There is more than enough going on in The Impossible Rise of Singularity Girl to keep you entertained regardless.
Please don't think that drawing on Pratchett and Adams makes The Impossible Rise of Singularity Girl derivative. It's just a writer having fun and being brilliant in a way many of those who stumble across a site like Stranger Views will appreciate.
It's AI – but not as we know it
At the core of this novel is an interesting study of what makes a human unique and whether this spark of humanity would survive being uploaded into a virtual world. Through Helen Roderick's adventures, it's impossible not to speculate as to her humanity. If your mind and personality were uploaded into a machine perfectly, would it still be you? And would it be as much fun as this book makes it appear?
Bryce Anderson's work alternates between cynicism and optimism in a most human way and wraps some interesting philosophical questions in a very funny book.
We liked this work so much it's on both our list of best books about AI in science fiction and funniest science fiction books.

The way that it works is that many amateurs will run a client that will monitor received traffic for callsigns (the pattern 'de callsign callsign') and, when seen, will report this fact. This is of interest to the amateur who transmitted adn they will be able to see where their signal was received. The pattern chosen is typically part of a standard CQ call. The duplicate check is to make sure that the callsign is not corrupted.
The way that this would be used is that an amateur would call CQ and could then (within a few minutes) see where his signal was received. This can be useful in determining propagation conditions or in adjusting antenna and/or radio parameters. It will also provide an archive of reception records that can be used for research purposes.

Standard Light Bulbs, also known as incandescent, create light by passing electricity through a metal filament, when the filament becomes hot enough it glows.
Incandescent bulbs give off about 90% of the energy they consume in the form of heat, leaving only 10% used to produce light. This equates to about 85 BTUs/hour.
The average lifespan of an incandescent bulb is between 750 to 2500 hours.
CFL Light Bulbs, also known as Compact Fluorescent Lighting, creates light by passing electricity through a tube containing gases. This reaction produces ultraviolet light that is transformed into visible light by the phosphor coating inside the tune. CFLs use approximately 50 to 80% less energy than incandescent bulbs and last 10 times as long. They also run 75% cooler.
CFL bulbs contain mercury, which is considered a toxic metal. While present in small amounts, burned out or broken bulbs must be treated as hazardous waste material when disposed of.
LED Lighting stands for Light Emitting Diodes. LEDs are small light sources that become illuminated by the movement of electrons through a semiconductor material.
LEDs are cool to the touch and 90% of the energy they consume is given off in the form of light, with less than 10% given off as heat. They use up to 90% less energy than incandescent bulbs.
LEDs are rated to last between 35,000-50,000 hours, which is at least 20 times that of an incandescent bulb. LEDs, however, don't "burn out" as an incandescent or CFL bulb would. The lifetime of an SSL lamp is generally considered to be the point where the light output has declined to 70% of its initial output, measured in lumens. So instead of burning out after 35,000 hours, the bulb will only be slightly dimmer.

We've been focusing on time-management and productivity strategies in this blog for a while now, and this week, we want to shift gears a bit to an equally important subject area — communication skills. Going forward, we'll be sharing thoughts on all things communication, and this week, we wanted to dive into why these skills are so important for professionals to strengthen. Here are several areas where strong communication skills can give professionals the edge they need to succeed:
Working with other professionals can go in a variety of ways. Some people love it, while others dread it. Whether or not this is your preferred work style, being able to work productively with other professionals is a valuable skill. Collaboration can lead to new ideas, creative solutions, and growth for all parties. Perhaps it's interacting with coworkers in the office or building a partnership with someone in a complementary industry. To get the best results from working as a team, you need strong communication skills to facilitate the partnership. From understanding who is responsible for what to clearly defining your common goals, clear communication should be at the foundation of all collaborations.
If you want to grow your business and discover new opportunities, networking is a must. A strong web of connections is a powerful tool for professionals, and it's no surprise that communication is key to building it. A network isn't just about having connections though, it's about building relationships. To maximize the potential of your network, you need to engage with the people in it. Get to know them, share valuable information and connections, ask for advice. When you have strong communication skills, it becomes easier to form these kinds of relationships that make up a great network.
Customer Service
If your work has you engaging with clients, communication should probably be in your top three most important skill sets. The client experience we deliver largely depends on our ability to successfully communicate. Of course, we need to be able to clearly and articulately deliver information. But it's more than that. We need to tune into tone and body language, we need to ask good questions, we need to listen well. When we strengthen these aspects of our communication skills, we're able to provide better service to our clients.
Marketing is all about communication. It's how we express who we are and what we do as a professional to a large audience. Good marketing requires that we know what we want to say and how best to say it. You might be writing a post on Facebook or composing a blog entry for your website. Whatever the activity, when your marketing efforts are built on a foundation of strong communication skills, they tend to be more effective.
Communication skills are essential for professionals who want to build strong businesses. Whether you're writing, speaking, reading, or listening, most professionals exercise these skills frequently throughout the average workday. If there's a communication-related topic you'd like to read more about, leave a note in the comments. I'd love to hear from you.

MIAMI, FL -- Nearly 50 South Beach condo units in a variety of well-recognized projects such as the Setai Resort & Residences (top left photo), the Murano Grande (top right photo), the Portofino Tower, and the Flamingo South Beach (middle left photo) are headed to court-ordered foreclosure auctions in the next 30 days, according to a new report from CondoVultures.com.
The 48 units are slated to be auctioned off in an attempt to resolve nearly $14.5 million in final judgments of foreclosure against the individual borrowers and debtors, according to Miami-Dade County records.
A combination of banks and condo associations initiated the process for the foreclosure auctions, according to the records.
CondoVultures.com is scheduled to profile the latest trends in the fourth quarter of 2011 in the seven largest coastal condo markets in the tri-county South Florida region of Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties.
Since the week of Jan. 16, the Condo Vultures® Market Intelligence Report™ has been publishing a seven-part weekly series analyzing new condo sales trends in Greater Downtown Miami, South Beach, Sunny Isles Beach, Hollywood / Hallandale Beach, Downtown Fort Lauderdale and the Beach, Boca Raton / Deerfield Beach, and Downtown West Palm Beach and Palm Beach Island.
South Beach is defined as the stretch from South Pointe Drive north to the 24th Street, and the Atlantic Ocean west to Biscayne Bay. The market is comprised of the Oceanside, Art Deco District, and Bayside areas, according to the Condo Vultures® Official Condo Buyers Guide To South Beach™.
The highest priced foreclosure judgment slated for auction is against a high-floor condo with nearly 1,300-square-feet in ultra-luxury Setai project on 20th Street in Miami Beach.
Lender Bank of America has a final judgment for nearly $2.5 million against the Setai unit, according to Miami-Dade County records.
The next two highest priced foreclosure judgments are against high floor units in the Bentley Bay condo complex on West Avenue in South Beach.
Lender JP Morgan Chase Bank is owed nearly $1.5 million for the nearly 2,000-square-foot unit on the 14th floor. Lender U.S. Bank is owed nearly $1.05 million for a nearly 2,000-square-foot unit on the 16th floor of the project, according to the records.
Rounding out the top five highest priced foreclosure auctions scheduled for the next 30 days are a more than $950,000 judgment against a unit in the Bentley Beach condo on Ocean Drive and a nearly $673,000 judgment against a high floor unit in the Floridian condominium on West Avenue.
On a project-by-project basis, the oceanfront Roney Palace condominium on Collins Avenue has five units scheduled for auction in the next month, according to government records.
A trio of separate projects - Bentley Bay, Cosmopolitan Residences, and the Floridian – each have three units scheduled to be auctioned in the next 30 days, according to the government records.
The Waverly on South Beach and the Flamingo South Beach (lower left photo) projects each have two units scheduled for auction, according to government records.
In the first three weeks of 2012, there have already been 60 condos in South Beach auctioned off in an attempt to resolve nearly $12.1 million in final judgments of foreclosure.
An additional 27 condo units were slated for auction but the dates have since been canceled, according to government records.
The scheduled auction of four dozen South Beach units comes at a time when distressed condos represent 15 percent of the available condo inventory in the internationally known neighborhood of Miami Beach as of Jan. 24, 2012, according to an analysis by the licensed Florida real estate brokerage Condo Vultures® Realty LLC.
Condo Vultures® LLC is a real estate consultancy and marketing company based at 1005 Kane Concourse, Suite 205, Bal Harbour, Florida, 33154. You can reach Condo Vultures® LLC at 800-750-0517.

Superior Court of Maine, Cumberland
March 3, 2017
LESLIE FISSMER, Individually and as Trustee of the LESLIE S. FISSMER REVOCABLE TRUST, PATRICIA and REED GRAMSE, KAREN and WILLIAM BURKE, and ROBERT SIEGEL, Plaintiffs,v.DAVID D. SMITH and CUNNER LANE, LLC, Defendants.
Plaintiffs-Kelly McDonald, Esq. Defendants-Alan Atkins, Esq
& Aaron Mosher, Esq.
Lanee Walker Justice, Maine Superior Court.
case involves a dispute over the location of a deeded right
of way -Cunner Lane- and the boundary lines of neighboring
properties in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. Plaintiffs Leslie
Fissmer, individually and as trustee of the Leslie S. Fissmer
Revocable Trust; Patricia and Reed Gramse; Karen and William
Burke; and Robert Siegel bring this action against defendants
David Smith and Cunner Lane, LLC seeking a series of
declaratory judgments and other remedies that would preserve
the location of Cunner Lane as it currently exists.
Procedural History
August, 19, 2016, plaintiff Fissmer filed a verified
complaint and motion for a temporary restraining order
("TRO"). The court granted the motion and issued a
TRO effective until the final resolution of this case.
Defendants did not file a response to the complaint, but did
move to modify the TRO. On September 9, 2016, the court
granted the modification to allow installation of a water
line on defendants' properties. Prior to the
modification, defendant Smith, in the presence of his
counsel, removed a wooden post on the subject property in
violation of the TRO. In response, plaintiff sought contempt
proceedings for remedial sanctions. On October 4, 2016, the
court found defendants in contempt and issued sanctions.
November 7, 2016, Plaintiff Fissmer filed an amended
complaint, which added as plaintiffs the owners of three
other properties that are accessible only via Cunner Lane.
Defendants filed a motion to dismiss pursuant to M.R. Civ. P.
12(b)(7) arguing plaintiffs failed to join all necessary
parties, including the fee owner of the right of way and the
owners of other lots benefitted by the right of way.
Plaintiffs object to the motion arguing defendants failed to
demonstrate that there are third parties with an interest in
the litigation; to the extent that any third parties do
exist, they are not necessary parties; and if third parties
are necessary, the proper remedy is joinder, not dismissal of
the action.
Fissmer owns real property situated at 20 Cunner Lane in the
Town of Cape Elizabeth, Maine. Plaintiffs Patricia and Reed
Gramse own the property located at 12 Cunner Lane. Plaintiffs
Karen and William Burke and Robert Siegel own lots on Brooke
Road, which are only accessible by way of Cunner Lane.
Defendants own the properties located at 19 and 21 Cunner
Lane. Parties' properties are all benefitted by a deeded
right of way over Cunner Lane. Defendants assert the Harry E.
Baker Company owns in fee the land burdened by the Cunner
Lane easement.
Lane has been in its present location since the 1920s.
Defendants acquired their property in 1998 and shortly
thereafter defendant Smith paid to have Cunner Lane paved.
This dispute arose when defendants hired a company to survey
their properties. The survey found the current physical
location of Cunner Lane is not the location of the deeded
easement. Defendants argue the survey proves the paved road
is on their properties, while the deeded easement runs across
property plaintiff Fissmer asserts is part of her lot.
wish to relocate a stone wall built on their properties to
the boundary between their lots and the deeded easement as
shown on the survey map. The wall would block the paved lane
and access to plaintiffs' properties. Shortly before the
initial complaint was filed, defendant Smith began drilling
holes in the road and installing cones that blocked Cunner
Lane. He also represented to plaintiff Fissmer that his
contractors were going to remove stones, vegetation, and
earth from land she believes to be her lawn, but the survey
shows as part of defendants' properties.
For the
reasons discussed below, the motion to dismiss is denied in
part. The owners/possessors of any servient estates or
properties abutting Cunner Lane and any unnamed lot
owners/possessors with a right of way over Cunner Lane must
be joined in this action as necessary parties.

Eagles have answer to beat Shells
ROXANA — The mark of a good team is how a team responds when the opposition is able to counter-punch and gain an edge.
For the Civic Memorial Eagles, after getting down against the Roxana Shells following a lead early in the game, there were a series of knockout punches delivered by the Eagle bats.
CM responded to Roxana's three-run fourth that gave the Shells the lead momentarily with a seven-run fifth. It was highlighted by a Cory Howard two-run single and capped by Connor Melton's bases-clearing two-out double as the Eagles made it seven wins in eight tries to start the season in a 9-5 victory against the Shells Wednesday afternoon at Roxana Park.
CM (7-1) got five-plus innings out of Tommy Flack (3-0) on the mound and the Eagles continue to tally up runs in bunches. They were able to send 11 batters to the plate against Logan Reardon (2-2) after the Shells (5-6), who were down 2-0 in the fourth, scored three times to momentarily gain the lead.
"We just talked about that; they didn't put their heads down," said CM coach Gary Bruening. "We haven't been behind very often, and I didn't know how they were going to respond. They scored three to make it 3-2 and we made a couple mistakes, they got a big hit in there (RBI triple from Nelson Martz) and got it to 3-2, and then we hit them with seven.
"That's the mark of a pretty good team. There are some things defensively that we still can work on, but I really like the way they responded."
The inning began with an error on Shells shortstop Chance Foss, who had a tough day at shortstop with three miscues in the game. Melton reached base to lead off the inning and would score on a RBI double from Ben Walker.
Howard's two-run single to left put the Eagles up to stay, and Melton administered the knockout punch with a drive to right-center field that cleared the bases.
"We're hitting the ball well. I think we're averaging right at nine runs a game," Bruening said. "You look at some of our averages, they're hitting the ball well. Up and down the lineup we had good at-bats. (Jansen) Helmkamp probably hit the ball harder than anyone today and he goes 0-for-4. I really like the way we're swinging the bats right now."
Reardon allowed nine hits and nine runs, but only three of them were earned and it's been a sign of problems for the Shells in the early part of the season. Miscues and giving the opposition more than three outs has typically spelled trouble for coach Nathan Smay's group. This after Martz, Kyle Roberson and Matt Hargrave delivered RBI at-bats to get the Shells a 3-2 lead in the home half of the fourth.
"We did it to ourselves," Smay said. "You can't come out here and make errors and expect to play a good ballgame. Three errors in the game and we're giving up unearned runs. That's what's going to happen. They're big kids and they're going to hit the ball hard. And when they're hitting them right at us, we're not making the plays."
Flack allowed three hits and four runs (three earned) with two walks and four strikeouts before getting bullpen help from Jake Buhs and Helmkamp to close it out.
"His ball moves fairly well and he's got a good curve," Bruening said of Flack. "He's not going to overpower you. I think you saw that. He's not going to blow it by many guys, but his curveball's good, he's got some movement on it. He's 3-0 and he's having a good start for us.
"We were hoping to get innings out of Tommy today and we got five out of him."
The Shells chased Flack from the game and scored in the sixth to make it 9-4 and had the opportunity for a bigger inning. They loaded the bases with nobody out, but Buhs came on and shut the door, inducing a forceout at home and a pair of popouts.
"I got the bottom half of my lineup and it kind of fizzled out," Smay said. "We'vegot a pretty good one through five going and all of the sudden, the bottom of my lineup just caved in. … It's one of those deals where we've got to get some balance one through nine and we're not getting that."
Both teams will get acquainted with one another again today, as CM will play host to the East Alton-Wood River Oilers at 4 p.m., then the Shells come into Bethalto for a 6:30 p.m. game at the Bethalto Sports Complex.

The 2019 Challenge is over! Stay tuned for info for the 2020 one.
Started in 2016, the Three Speed October challenge is a way to not only get folks out on their three speeds, but to get them excited about them!
The premise is simple: Ride your three speed during the month of October! Here are the basic stipulations of this challenge:
- Ride a three speed bicycle
- Three times a week
- At least three miles (5 km) each trip
- For at least three weeks during the duration of the challenge
- During a five-week period that centers around the month of October
And those of you who successfully complete the challenge will qualify to get something! If you are not already a member, successful completion of the challenge will qualify for a discounted SoTS membership.
For 2019, the Three Speed October Challenge will run from Friday September 27th to Sunday November 3rd. All times local.
You will need to sign up! See form at bottom.
Okay, simple enough! But you've got questions. You want details. So here goes:
- Why October? For many in the northern hemisphere, it's the last good month before cold and unsettled weather really settles in. For some, this will be the last time they regularly ride a bike before spring. Or, if you live in a place like Phoenix, it's the first tolerable riding weather since April! And if you live in the Southern Hemisphere, it's spring. In any case, it's generally an OK time to be riding a bike in most places on this planet.
- Why three speeds? If you are already here do I need to answer that? Okay, it's because three speeds are totally reasonable and practical bikes for many an application. This challenge is to encourage you to think about them in this way, rather than a "show" bike for your Tweed Ride.
- Is this just limited to three speeds? Mostly. A three speed internally geared hub is what should be ridden for this challenge. We'll also accept four and five speed internally geared hubs, hubs that were available from Sturmey-Archer by the mid-70's. But no more or less speeds than that! To be clear, it doesn't have to be a Sturmey-Archer hub, it can also be a Sachs, Sram, Shimano, SunTour, Hercules, or (insert brand here.) But it can only have three, four, or five speeds!
- Any exceptions? We'll allow Bromptons that have that infernal Sturmey-Archer with deraileur combo, but that's it. If you do have a Brompton, you must promise and make every effort to NOT use your derailleur during a ride.
- How do you define a week? Starting with the 2019 challenge, you do not have to follow a traditional calendar week. It just has to be a seven day period. For example, if you started your first ride on a Wednesday, your week ends on the following Tuesday. Weeks cannot overlap, so your next "week" won't start until the following Wednesday. You just need to fill up three non-overlapping "weeks" during the duration of the challenge.
- What if I ride more than three trips in a week? Great! And you should. But these trips don't count towards anything. You can't use "extra" trips towards another week.
- What if I ride more than three miles in a trip? That's great as well, but all that matters is hitting three miles in a single trip. And you can't use "extra miles" towards another trip.
- To be clear, you need to ride three separate and distinct trips in a week, each ride on a different day.
- Can I do more than one ride a day? No.
- What if I try to ride three times in a week, but something comes up and I can't do it? Can I make it up somehow? Yes! The final weekend of the challenge, Friday November 1st through Sunday November 3rd, is designated as a Make-Up Weekend. During this "make up weekend" can only do one ride and one ride only to make up for a missed one for any previous "biffed" week. So you'll still need to ride two rides during a previous week. Please note you can still do part of a regular week during this time too, if your final week happens during November 1-3.
- What if all else fails? Or the weather turns? If you've successfully completed two weeks but certain things happen to cause you to miss completing the final week, you can file for a "Hardship Exception". I will only consider the exception for:
- A personal issue (medical, death in the family, jail, etc)
- Real weather issues (see below)
- Bike issues (mechanical failure, crash, spontaneous combustion, etc )
- You won't be considered for a Hardship Exception if you forget to follow through or got too busy with other things in your life.
- A word about weather: I know that winter can come early in certain parts of the world. For those of you who live in early winter locales (like, say, Winterpeg, er, Winnipeg), I urge you to do your three weeks of riding during the first three weeks of the challenge timeframe. If something weather related comes up that prevents you from fulfilling the challenge in the time constraints given, contact me about the Hardship Exception. But the weather has to be something real. It can't just be "well, it sprinkled a bit today". The British rode their three speeds through all sorts of miserable weather, a little rain ain't going to kill you. Just get out your rain cape and brake before you need to stop!
- What if my ride starts on the last day of the week and continues into the next week? It will be considered one ride for the week that it started in.
- I bike commute to work. Would each individual segment (one to, one from) count as a separate ride? Or would the commute count as one ride? The commute will count as one ride. Though this is in your favor if you have a commute less than three miles, hopefully each segment is at least 1.5 miles, so you can hit that three mile threshold easily!
- Does the ride have to be a "standalone" ride, or can it be incorporated with another ride? Whatever ride incorporates a three speed bicycle and is at least three miles qualifies! So if you decide to do a "club" ride or a gnar MTB adventure with friends, or go on a 200K brevet, or on a coffeeneuring adventure, it doesn't matter! In fact, I'd love to see you do the 200K brevet on a three speed!
- I don't have a cycle computer/Strava/GPS. How will I know if I've done three miles? You can use a mapping program before or after the ride to figure out distance. We recommend using Ride With GPS. If not, use a paper map to figure out a rough estimate of mileage.
- Ok, I completed the challenge successfully! What do I get? Everyone who successfully completes the challenge will be able to get a small award, most likely a sticker and/or patch. This is not free, and will cost anywhere between $5 and $20. Those folks who are not already members will qualify for a discounted rate for Society of Three Speeds.
And starting in 2019, there will be some bonus prizes! What can you do to get these bonus prizes? Well, I'll be awarding one for each of the following:
- Longest single ride. This one is pretty straightforward. (Must be contained to a 24 hour period.) If two or more people tie, see tie-breakers in item four below.
- Best write up of your ride(s). Make them interesting!
- Best photo. Must include in photo a bike you rode. If you are posting pics to Instagram or flickr, tag them with #threespeedoct2019 and make sure I know about them!
- Most bikes used during the challenge. The maximum amount you can do is nine, one for each ride. (Sorry, you can't switch out bikes during a ride.) If two or more people tie, tiebreakers will include, in this order:
- "Naked" hub gear bikes will win over any bike with an attached derailleur (like a Brompton.) (Note: this does not include derailleurs used strictly as a chain tensioner.)
- Pure three speed hub gear bikes will win over four or five speed hubs.
- Age of bikes, i.e. older bikes win over newer.
- If you are mailing in your Challenge Reports, a prize for most interesting package.
Okay, simple enough! Really, I tried to make this challenge not that hard. If that doesn't satisfy ya, feel free to pull three centuries a week on a three speed!
Do you still have questions? Email me.


text: (Updates prices) By Susan Mathew July 1 (Reuters) - Most Latin American currencies and stocks made a positive start to the second half of the year on Monday as the United States and China agreed to revive trade negotiations after a long lull, spurring investment into riskier assets. U.S. President Donald Trump offered concessions to China on Saturday when he met Chinese President Xi Jinping at the G20 summit, including holding off on new tariffs and easing restrictions on tech company Huawei. China agreed to make unspecified new purchases of U.S. farm products and restart negotiations. Most regional stocks rose in line with world stocks, and currencies firmed against a significantly stronger dollar, but ended off session highs. Mexican assets led gains, with the peso - a weather vane for trade sentiment, up 0.5%, while its IPC stock index climbed 0.7%. Investors seemed to brush-off data showing Mexican manufacturing slipped to a 20-month low in June. "The G20 result was mostly as expected, but the partial re-start of exports to Huawei was a positive surprise," Citigroup analysts wrote in a note. "This should benefit EMFX, but it is unlikely to be a game changer for the trade dynamics." Fears that a drawn-out trade dispute between the United States and China will hit global growth have spurred bouts of selling this year, with MSCI's index of emerging market stocks and currencies posting their worst monthly performance this year in May. But hopes that major central banks would tilt toward monetary policy easing to stir growth, and signs of progress in Sino-U.S. trade relations have helped them recover since. Brazil's real firmed 0.1% on Monday, while Sao Paulo-traded stocks rose 0.5%. Data on Monday showed manufacturing in Brazil avoided slipping into contraction in June. The Argentine peso was boosted by the central bank's move to set a new lower interest rate floor on its benchmark "Leliq" notes at 58% for July. The weekend also saw the European Union and South American bloc Mercosur, which Argentina and Brazil are part of, agreeing to a free trade treaty and committing to more open markets. If ratified, Credit Suisse analysts said the treaty would be a boost for Argentina's trade and investment prospects over the medium term. "With this deal, Argentina would be committed to improving some legal and regulatory standards. It could also make it more difficult for future governments to implement punitive trade measures," the Credit Suisse analysts said in a note. Chile's currency and stocks, however, slipped, hurt by the price of copper - Chile's main export, ending lower. Markets in Colombia were closed for a holiday. Latin American stock indexes and currencies at 1957 GMT: Stock indexes Latest Daily % change MSCI Emerging Markets 1062.48 0.72 MSCI LatAm 2852.15 0.3 Brazil Bovespa 101458.14 0.49 Mexico IPC 43456.62 0.68 Chile IPSA 5064.69 -0.12 Argentina MerVal 41497.73 -0.71 Currencies Latest Daily % change Brazil real 3.8437 -0.12 Mexico peso 19.1230 0.49 Chile peso 680.02 -0.53 Peru sol 3.289 0.15 Argentina peso 42.3500 0.38 (interbank) (Reporting by Susan Mathew in Bengaluru; editing by Grant McCool)

He added: "Sales of netbook, laptop and wireless broadband hardware within our mobile customers is increasing rapidly. As the importance of this category increases we're investing heavily in range development and supplier partnerships to satisfy the accessory demand."
George Tennet, BullGuard COO, commented: "At BullGuard we tailor our products for the non-technical home user, small office user, who are all very aware of the daily online security dangers and who require total online protection. A high percentage of this target market are now turning to the traditional mobile phone retailers and operators for their home computing hardware also, driven by the increase in home broadband take up and some great offers in the high street. We see Kondor as the perfect partner for BullGuard in channelling our product into this tough market segment."

The summer of a Manchester United fan can usually provide as quite a frustrating period, with the club being linked to different players by numerous news outlets on a day-to-day basis. Down the years, fans continuously have their expectations built up by certain reports and transfer speculation, only for such predicted deals to not go through. Some fans are still awaiting the official announcement of Wesley Sneijder…
However, the summer of 2018 is already shaping up to be a rather efficient one for the club, having swiftly already tied up the expected deals of both Fred and Diogo Dalot before a ball has even been kicked in the World Cup. The two signings have certainly addressed depleted areas in the current side and fans are already anticipating both players to be a major hit as Red Devils.
As the saying goes however, 'begin as you mean to go on', with fans now expecting the rest of the reds summer business to be wrapped up in similar fashion.
Who is next?
As mentioned, both Fred and Dalot add that extra required quality to positions where United are currently lacking, meaning that Mourinho seems keen to address the problems from last season. If we were to apply this mindset to the boss's transfer plans, then the next key area in need of strengthening would have to be through a center half.
The main name being linked with a move to Old Trafford has of course been Tottenham's Toby Alderweireld, with many reports speculating an asking price of around £50m needed to acquire the Belgian's services. Alderweireld is unquestionably one of the best defenders in the division, establishing himself as a key cog in Tottenham's efficient backline, ever since his arrival back in 2013. With the defender being on international duty, any deal before the World Cup does however appear unlikely, but the Belgian is appearing as Mourinho's number one target to partner Eric Bailly at the back.
It is however being speculated that Daniel Levy is deploying his hardball tactics on the potential deal, which could force United to look elsewhere. Another defensive name that has recently arisen has been Sevilla's Clément Lenglet, who looked impressive against United themselves, during the Champions League clash back in March. The French defender does not find himself in the national squad for the World Cup and could therefore be available for a quick summer move.
Will Woodward get his annual marquee name?
Despite both Fred and Dalot being two recruits who will improve the quality of the squad, neither player is expected to bring in the 'off-pitch revenue' when compared to other recent recruits in Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku, a factor which chairman Ed Woodward certainly likes in a player.
There has subsequently been speculation surrounding a potential 'big name player' to join United this summer, with both Gareth Bale and Antoine Griezmann's names being thrown into the mix, not to the surprise of any Red Devil fans out there. The two players seem to be linked with a move to Old Trafford every summer and this may potentially be Woodward's last chance to get his hands on at least one of the two.
Following Zinedine Zidane's departure from Real Madrid, Bale is however now being tipped to remain in the Spanish capital, despite his comments after the Champions League final about his disappointment on the lack of game time that he his receiving. The door has therefore seemingly opened up for Griezmann, with recent reports suggesting that his expected move to Barcelona has now fallen through, with the Frenchman eager to have his future confirmed before the World Cup kicks off.
Deals are inevitable
Despite the fact that transfer speculation and gossip will inevitably continue, it does seem as through United's transfer targets for this summer are relatively straight forward and new recruits will undoubtedly follow both Fred and Dalot through the Old Trafford doors. The early conducted deals suggests that Mourinho and Woodward are in no room to be waiting around for their selected targets, meaning that fans should remain optimistic and of course excited, for the rest of the summer ahead.

Top Ten Best Sniper Rifles
The Top Ten
It can shoot trough a wall, what a amazing weapon, I will buy 1 one of this day, hell yea!
the best sniper rifle in the world! I can't believe it!
the strongs gun in the world m82 barret.50 cal ultmite gun kicks butt
This gun is amazing! High fire rate and high power. Originally was built out of Ronnie Barrett's garage. This things weigh in at 30-40 pounds. Ten round magazines. Semi auto. Best 50 cal rifle around. Just pull the trigger and BOOM! Your target is GONE, nothing left. Takes out tanks armored vehicles and much of what it hits. Used by law enforcement and military AND terrorists because of its great combat reliability and accuracy. This was the FIRST.50 caliber sniper rifle EVER! And the best sniper rifle out there- just under the M107 which is essentially a M82. If you want a really cool looking and unique weapon, check out the M82A2. Bull pup rifle that sits on your shoulder like RPG!
For a sniper hitting a target, your weapon needs to have precision to hit it out of effective range and need to bring down the target must firepower, most modern weaponry does not contain these three atributos. Em terms of operational capacity, a weapon with great precision does not have an effective range as large, with very long effective range does not have much firepower and much firepower does not get much scope or precisão. O CheyTac M200 contains the three attributes together, not considering that a weapons system, 7.62mm.338 Lapua or.50 BMG are not accurate, effective range and firepower satisfactory, but only the M200 has all the extreme.. It is capable of hitting targets with precision to over 2300 meters, his bullet remains supersonic beyond 2000 meters making it the target will be reached before hearing the shot (probably after being shot will not hear anything else) and over distances of 700 meters from his bullet has more energy than a.50 BMG projectile ( 12.7 x99mm), ...more
2500 yards heres the man for the job its accurate but so heavy 31 pounds without scope but maybe future military rifle if cheytac makes a variant of this
Thirty years experience says The CheyTac M200.408 is with out a doubt, the most accurate system in the world! Any who says different is uneducated or bias. I own a Barrett 98B.338 and an Armarlite AR-30.338 Lupua mag Both amazing weapons. If you want the best of the best, and you have 12 grand to throw away, the the CheyTac M200 is the ONE and ONLY! The.408 is a custom round from CheyTac to match there sytem for presician and they got it right. Ask any one who knows what they are talking about and they will tell you the same thing.
I love the M82 Barret.50 cal and the Army adopted it for reasons they wouldn't make clear, but if you know the Army as I was in... Initial cost was a consideration, life expectancy before barrel replacement, (and also weapon system refurbishment) and finally cost and availability of ammo across many manufactures, weight of weapon and ammo for fielded soldier, followup shot while still maintaining accuracy at range for many different shooters... and finally... As the Army test ammo and then accepts bids for ammo built to THEIR STANDARDS. The Cheytec is a unique and patented weapons system, which if excepted by the Army... THE ARMY would have to PAY WHATEVER THEY (CHEYTAC) DEMANDS FOR ALL OF THE ABOVE CONSIDERATIONS. Purchasing the Barret there is more competition for support, thus keeping cost down. The weapon is only the tool... Operated for a purpose, and is only as effective as the SHOOTER and it's TRAINING makes it.
Once again soviet made. Reliable, stable and a great sniper rifle.
The svd sniper rifle is still used now. There is no question about it. Built by the Soviet Union, it is bound to be reliable, strong and an accurate weapon. The svd is like the sniper version of the ak 47, but bigger and badder. If someone were to face against you with an svd, I would suggest to hide your your wife and children because its a heck of a gun. Once again, the svd is the best there is... In my opinion!
This is a legendary sniper rifle, it has a good range for such an outdated rifle and can still hold its own against many modern sniper rifles
No doubt the best sniper rifle when it comes to quickness and effectiveness basically you get your bang for your buck but since they are a collector's you might have to pay a little more
Hundreds of dead Tangos can't be wrong. Thanks to the snipers and designated marksmen who have been trained and are proficient with these systems. Semper Fi and thank you.
I use this weapon in Afghanistan as a Marine, and it is the best I have ever used, and is more accurate than all other weapons on this list... I have used them all.
Its very simple as in the rifle is simply a rifle it is designed as a sniper rifle accurate with enough power to drop any target, and it is reliable and even if it does jam its very easy to fix, not that a marksman's rifle would ever jam as they are very well maintained
This is a great weapon and is quite accurate and just a wonderful sniper for battle. I have used it in training and I've used other snipers like the 50 cal barret and dragunov. They aren't that great for most battles, love the Barrett but M40 is my favorite weapon
A classic World War 2 sniper rifle that surely one of the bestof all time.
I've always just loved it! Adorable in every way.
It couldn't get any better
When my dad was a solder in World War 2 he carried the Springfeild. He still has it and let me shoot it a few times. One word: awesome.
Hard to choose one, as each of these guns are great rifles and unique in their own way. The Tac-50, though, is a great gun and currently holds the world record for longest kill at 2, 657 yards. A sniper rifle is meant to kill at long range, so my vote goes here.
This gun ain't just good, it's amazing. And Canadian! Thumbs up if your from Canada!
Accuracies and powerful sniper rifle
Has 2 and 3 longest confirmed kills
Hold the record for the longest kill every made! And not too three? Please!
The legendary bolt-action sniper rifle used by the british military. Should be in the the top ten!
It's a real precision rifle. For instances the barret is not a sniper rifle. It's an anti-materiel weapon. The dragunov can't hit a head at 300 mts. The only rifles that deserve to be on the top ten are the m24 and m40
Hard to choose but in all round stats this is the best sniper rifle to have. Everything else excels at something and usually fails otherwise but you can't go wrong with this beauty.
Probably one of the toughest and most accurate military rifles ever. I have two 91/30's that shoot 1"-2" groups at 100 yards with open-sights. I hand-load a variety of different loads and I have yet to find one that the rifles won't group well with. This rifle was designed to be accurate and tough.
Length of service, and a stand out long range shooter in it's time. Mosins still factor in long range rifle competitions today.
I have one of these, and a Finn with the slightly longer barrel, both go toe to toe with modern bolt rifles.
Wonderful Rifle well made Durable long barreled and with care last forever. Accuracy for a Rifle Made in 1937 as mine was is amazing to say the least I put a Scope Rail over the open Sight and A Leupold Scope. I have no trouble grouping 5 rounds within A 1-2 Inch Circle at 1400 Yrds The Best $120.00 I Ever Spent I have since bought 2 more for myself and 1 each for my brother and Son for Birthday Presents lets just say come deer season the tags get easily filled and soft tip ammo is available and very accurate at ranges to 1000 yards with a scope and 150 yards on an open sight if you have the chance at the price they are selling for get yourself one it's a great gun and a great piece of pre-WW2 Gun History Also mine came with Bayonets a plus for Collectors who want a Useful piece of history
The confirmed kills speak for themselves with this rifle. Record setting snipers and marksman throughout the course of time have etched their names in the history books using this weapons system. The soviet union didn't get many things right. However when it came to the battle rifle, there hardly is no equal.
WA2000 is the best sniper rifle ever made. Light years before its time. Not many produced because of its high dollar cost. More than 30 after the WA2000 sniper rifles are just starting to see what Walther already knew about the.300 Win Mag. That was the main caliber the WA2000 was built around. Now they are fetching more than $75, 000.00
Without question. More R&D dollars were spent on the WA2000. It was built from the ground up as a sniper rifle and was a total departure from any other rifle ever designed. The only issue was the WA2000 high price.
Walther has two versions of the WA2000. First version had problems with the gas system, fluted barrel and flash hider, The second and more desirable version was a Hugh improvement and vastly more accurate. They did away with the fluted barrel, improved the gas system and flash hider. Making the WA2000 second to none. Since the WA2000 was designed in the 1980's and in.300 Win. Mag, No other sniper rifle in this caliber to date comes close. Did I forget.. the WA2000 is a bull pup and semi-auto to boot. Anything on her business end is going to meet their maker at extreme ranges to boot.
This is a great sniper rifle for long range. Better than the R-700. Good for sniping in combat and a little shorter than the M82 Barret 50 CAL.
Best ever! That's all that's needed to be said!
Fantastic firearm all around, very smooth action, comfortable to use and consistently shoots 1 1/2 inch groups at 300m (I know because I own one! ). Used by many military's around the world; the Finns know a thing or two about making sniper rifles, regarded as one of the best along with the accuracy international. Not as affordable as a R700 but remember, you get what you pay for
I just got it and I hit all target straight out of the box with a night force scope
Silk action and comfort shooting deadly accurate rifle sako trg22. I own trg22
Perfect example of Finnish craftmanship
The Contenders
the biggest isn't the best (m85 barret 50. cal) you can get the same results from a smaller and quieter rifle like the M110.
This Sniper Rifle was adopted by The U.S. navy Seals including Seal Team Six. It's 7.62x51mm round can blow off a head at 750 meters! Also it's a version of the proven M4/M16 weapons
I have one of these and it is such a great gun. Tough as nails, high powered, accurate, et cetera. They're really affordable too! An amazing gun.
I think it is the same as #3.
Most respected sniper rifle, thanks to vassily
I 💛 this gun
A good looking, good handling, good shooting 308 sniper rifle that's good for Call of Duty as well
Great all around work a day unit accurate reliable and relatively quiet gets the job done with no muss or fuss
Favorite of many Anti-terrorism forces.
It sets the standard
The Barrett Model 98B in my opinion is one if not in the top ten best accurate sniper rifle system in the world up to date. It has flawless precision up to 1500 yards. When it comes to accurate shots at long range targets this S-R delivers. The reason to that is the design of the weapon Barrett manufactuers and designers nailed it by making the weapon bolt action. Yes I like to have that option of semi-automatic fire when you are shooting at multiple targets but most semi-auto rifles aren't as reliable in accuracy do to the kick or recoil of the weapon. As every true compition shooters or weapons experts know, reduce the recoil increase the accuracy. This can back fire badly if the system is not put correctly, but if you design the ammuntion to level out the gases in the chamber and barrel of the weapon it should work out perfectly. Sounds easy but its a lot of hard work to prefect the pefect or close to perfect weapon in this case the Barrett Model 98B should take the spot in top ten ...more
Probably the best replacement, or equal to the Barret 50 cal. Although it is bolt action, it's muzzle velocity is high and it looks good. I believe that this sniper rifle DESERVES to be number 2 or even number 1.
This the most accurate tool I've ever used. Once it's dialed in there isn't much that throws the shot once you let it go. My only complaint being that there is a lot of induced movement and dust from the muzzle break which makes it a challenge to stay hidden after you take the shot. But then again, with the Bravo, you only need one shot.
I think the best sniper rifles (bolt action) are made by Barrett. The M98b is the best sniper rifle and one of the most accurate sniper rifles in my opinion. I say put it number 2 to 4 on list.
Great rife, dependable and accurate. Being semi auto its easier to get that all important second shot if needed at the original target or a secondary target.
It's actually an M14 EBR which stands for Enhanced Battle Rifle. It was first used in action but the US Navy SEALS. It is now the preferred Semi Automatic sniper rifle and used by more military and police forces around the world than any other rifle, including the H^^K G3
I used one in Viet Nam. I loved mine. If it had been a woman, I would have married it. In the harsh conditions of that hot, humid country my XM-21 rifle never failed me once. I used it for sniping and downing a wild pig while on one patrol. That pig fed a large number of people to include American G.I.s and local villagers. My XM-21, the predecessor of the M-21, helped me win a sniper versus sniper gunfight one night. I learned to shoot that rifle from zero to 900 meters with no problem at all. It was a sweet rifle with great accuracy and great stopping power.
This is probably the best sniper in the world. Semi-Automatic, can be used with or without a scoper, powerful, and best of all... MW2
They made new ones of these but for this list this is the best unless you want to snipe long ways through a car window windshield to hit someone or to stop a car then you want the TAC 50 it will pit a hole in a engine block from a long way out cheytac will do the same
This is the most accurate rifle in this list. Yet has all the power one needs from 50 cal all the way down to a 308
Should be #1 hands down. Best rifle in this list
Best rifle on list. Most accurate and only true sniper rifle
Compact sniper rifle, great accuracy I would say
Said to be the shortest sniper rifle and their claims are they make more accurate rifles then both accuracy international and sako, witch are known to make some of the most, if not the most accurate and reliable sniper rifles in the world
The DTA is top of the line and is comparable to the AI. Look around, and you will not find many complaints if any about the DTA. Desert Tactical is also innovative coming out with more calibers conversions everyday.
1/2 minute MOA can change cals in a minute super reliable just love it. Can go from a 243 to 308 and 300 win mag right up to 338 Lapua
The M-24 and the M-40 are brothers, the 24 is a long action and the 40 is a short action. No two finer 7.62x51 NATO guns exist. Their accuracy even with crappy ammunition is always one minute or less. With good ammunition both rifles consistently shoot under one MOA. Gas guns have their place, there are many that shoot extremely well, but bolt guns will always shoot tighter. A well trained sniper with either the M24 or the M40 is a weapons system that can change the entire outcome on the battlefield.
I think close but no gold ring. More opinion speaking than actual expierence with weapons. Predjuice seems to always cloud ones judgement. Correct to a degree, but still not in the park. Several weapons out there that are beyond great. I am a average, no better shooter, had a one one half inch group with good wind at 496 yards with Accuracy International AW.50 BMG. That weapon trully rocks, will out shoot a Barrett M82/107 all day. I own both. Were I given a choice between the two the AI wins hands down. I have twenty five sniper rifles and every time I set eye 's on that
AI AW.50 BGMG me heart speeds up.
Are you kidding this destroys the 82
The 107a1 is the improved m82a1 and 107. It's 5 pounds lighter and is slightly more accurate. I agree!
I think barret is most powerful snipper
This is one of the hardest-hitting bolt action sniper rifles, and is a good balance between accuracy, weight and power. While the M82 may be more accurate and harder-hitting, it's way too heavy to carry around in the battlefield. Besides, large caliber sniper rifles leave a clear vapour trail behind it, instantly revealing your position.
This is not the standard infantry sniper rifle for nothing.
This sniper rifle, although uses the horrible 7.62 NATO round, has pinpoint accuracy due to it's bolt action nature. Since sniping is also about staying stealthy and scouting, I highly doubt whether anti-material rifles like the M82 or the Tac-50 are suitable for this role anyways. Good luck going around in a ghillie suit with an M82. The American military chose this rifle for a reason: It's battle tested, it's accurate, and it's highly reliable.
One of the most reliable bolt action systems in the world
My off the shelf 30-06 drove tacks with old surplus ammo. Minus 1-MOA till the barrel got hot.
A lot depends on exactly which gun you get some are better out of the box. Also every gun has a loading it likes the best.
Being able to shoot also helps.
My mod 70 243 will put 5 in a penny 70gri 100 yards
My 2011 M70.300 Win Mag w/ 4-16X Luepold puts 5 190 gr Sierra Matchkings into.400 inch groups while providing one of the smoothest actions and incredible factory triggers ever.
Most accurat rifle I ever shot
Around the same power as the M82 but with A.50 moa which is impressive for.50 caliber. Able to penetrate through materials up to that of reinforced steel.
This is very accurate and has the world record for the largest sniper kill. It is also the Seal's favorite sniper rifle.
Impressive accuracy, great damage, great effective range and amazing design make it number one of world
Not an actual sniper. Was an anti-tank rifle, but a truly amazing gun!

It is a common notion for people to believe other people tend to have better lives than their own. Regardless of the situation, people will compare the worst part of their own life to the best parts of other peoples' lives, creating a wider disparity than what exists. Edwin Arlington Robinson's "Richard Cory" narrates a scenario portraying the cliché notion that just because someone's life appears ideal, does not mean it is. This idea is emphasized in almost every line of the poem and strengthened through subtle and obvious contrast, which is what stuck out most to me—how excessive the contrast is between the people and Richard Cory.
The first stanza introduces the character Richard Cory, and it immediately gives him an aura of grandeur. The first of many contrasting descriptions in this poem is between the "people on the pavement" and the poem's subject being a "gentleman from sole to crown". He is noble through and through without a single trace of anything less in him according to the description. Even the diction elevates his status. Using the word "crown" instead of "head" creates an image of royalty, widening the gap between him and the general population. The following line reinforces this by describing his slimness as imperial. However, in the third stanza, his status is elevated higher when he is deemed "richer than a king". The narrator describes this man as ideal and having everything anyone could desire: a perfect physical form, proper manners, and money.
There is even the contrast of the acquisition of things. The diction used to describe Richard Cory implies his fortunate state as being effortless. As previously explained, he is compared to royalty, even better than royalty. There is no mention of having to earn or work for anything, everything about him just is. Contrariwise, it is specifically mentioned how the people had to work and they still lacked basic things, such as decent meals.
The poem is also characterized by polysyndeton. The repetition of "and" creates a sense of the endless favorable traits he possesses. The majority of the poem is essentially a list of how great he is; the only flaw presented is "he fluttered pulses when he said,/'Good-morning'". Again, there is a distinguishable shift at the beginning of the final stanza. It is not initiated with "And" like the previous two stanzas, instead it starts with "So". This variance draws attention to the disparity between their lifestyles, and it signals a shift in the use of polysyndeton from emphasizing an abundance of fortune to an abundance of misfortune. This seems to create a dulling effect on the situation because the word is so overused at this point. It draws out the labors of the people, and changes Richard Cory's suicide from being a dramatic incident to just another event on the list of misfortunes.
Of all the ways Robinson contrasts Richard Cory from the people, what I found most intriguing was how he is depicted as divine. There are three stanzas used to describe him, each of which provide three positive descriptors. The first stanza describes him as a "gentleman", "clean flavored" and "imperially slim". The second stanza tells how he is "quietly arrayed", human when he talked", and "he glittered when he walked". Then, in the following stanza, he is described as "richer than a king", and good enough to be envied. There is no mistake about him being described as god-like. Three typically symbolizes the trinity and religious perfection, yet it does not hold up in this instance as Richard Cory succumbs to suicide. Despite seeming perfect, he was still flawed and evidently must have been struggling more than the common folk. Interestingly, the last stanza describes the general people with four actions: they worked, waited, went without, and cursed. They are described as nothing but miserable, and yet they have the will to continue with life. By using four descriptors, a larger number than Richard's three, it does seem to indirectly suggest how even though they had laborious lives, they still made more out of living than Richard Cory.
Despite how uninteresting the underlying idea of this narrative poem is, its presentation is engaging because of the polarity of the general population from Richard Cory. Each line emphasizes his perfection and effortless lifestyle, making him seem like a divine being in opposition to everyone else's difficult lives. While he is lauded for doing nothing other than existing, the people work hard and receive nothing. Regardless of how things appear, nothing is as flawless as it seems.

Everyone needs a Lotus! Lotus Kruse from Wildly Desirable Living is a 31/4 Lifepath (Heart Healer), who I met through Jill Genet from Infinite Grace. Jill is one of my best friends (and a fellow 29/11 Lifepath, who sees 11:11). She also founded Red Tent Australia, a thriving network of women's circles. So when she raves about someone, I listen.
It's hard to define my journey with Lotus, because it's more of a feeling (akin to jumping off a cliff, laughing and repeating). So far, I've done her Money Love program twice, and had a year of Metamorphosis sessions. Although my work with her is on hold so I can restructure my business, I have huge respect for her. Her impact has been so significant, I can divide my life into B.L. and A.L – before Lotus and after Lotus.
In her own words, she is an Alchemist, financial therapist, money coach, divorce sherpa and transpersonal counsellor mentoring women to be super f*cking powerful, franchised and financially autonomous. She's a champion for women to live with their desires and intuition leading the way.
Here's an extract from her About page:
"My life has been a ride and a half, just like yours I imagine. It has felt like a big dipper and a smooth sail boat. I have had babies born and died, I've been married and divorced, annihilated and resurrected through the ashes of the hate mail and court system.
I've been deeply in love and deeply heartbroken, stretched beyond what I thought I was capable of and, through it all, I have been an explorer of my own soulscape and what it means to be truely truely (sic) sovereign in the world as a powerful woman. It has all been a big melting pot of love, musings, f*ck ups and wanderlusting."
After Lotus and I met, we discovered she used to work for the company which helped to kickstart my psychic business. Wow! Although Lotus and I have moved on, we still believe that anything is possible when you keep creating from passionate love.
Lotus shares a 31/4 lifepath with many of my other teachers (Ian White, Hong Curley, ex-boss Cherie Barker and Carmen Low). At 31, her lifepath turning point age, she was pregnant, which makes sense as she's taught me all about powerful mothering, self-parenting and protecting your joy. In numerology, Parenting has the same vibration as Intuition (50/5, the throat chakra number). To master either field requires a balance of inner and outer expression plus massive flexibility.
Many big names are 31/4's, which is why I call this lifepath the Empire Builder. Think of people like Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Sir Elton John, Karen Jacobsen (the GPS Girl – see her reading), Kerry Packer, Marie Curie, Nicole Kidman, Oprah Winfrey, Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Richard Branson and so on. Although you might not like them, 4's are some of the most hardworking, provocative and intriguing people around. They just keep turning up until their spiritual job is done, then they turn up again, just to be sure! Find your lifepath
Join Lotus's next Money Love Program on 2 April 2019!"This program is about coming clean with your money and with yourself. It's about love. Loving yourself enough to tell the truth. Loving yourself enough to earn, save and spend money in a way that serves your highest good on the planet. It's about understanding that how you do money is an example of how you do your life. It's about having a relationship with money that feels amazing. Find out more."
Here are 4 breakthroughs I've had after working with Lotus:
1) Installing an bookings system (Acuity) for psychic readings, after years of avoidance. This was excruciating as I was holding onto my 'martyr' complex for dear life. Within hours of switching from manual bookings, I had enough new business to pay for the annual subscription twice! Talk about confirmation. Acuity has not only saved me time, it's attracted enormous interest from overseas clients. Now, almost half my readings are for people in the United States (especially New York, which I hope to visit soon). For a sole trader, the stress reduction has been out of this world. I'm so glad I bit the bullet.
FYI, I was also inspired to use Acuity after attending a talk on Aspergers Syndrome by Dr Tony Attwood and Sue Larkey (will blog on them later). They helped me to understand that my challenges with anorexia, anxiety and answering constant calls or emails could be linked to Aspergers. My need for quiet time isn't wrong, it's self-compassion, which gives me the energy I need to do incredible workshops and readings. This epiphany has been such a relief, as I've been bullying myself for years in this area. Try Acuity scheduling for yourself (please note, this is an affiliate link)
2) Launching online numerology classes, which attracted over 100 students in a few weeks, at a time when our family had many bills to pay. Again, this was something I'd dreamed about for years. Lotus teaches Money Love through Zoom, which convinced me that distance education can be as intimate as in-person work. Check out my Online Events for class one (your 2019 forecast/ 11:11 awakening/ personal year) and class two (your lifepath and name numerology). They're just $30 each and are packed with insights.
3) Launching events with my 11:11 Twin Flame Kris Anderson, including our Bayside Red Tent workshop and stall at Conscious Life. We'll be at Discovery Festival in April 2019 and have also recommenced joint readings. Lotus knows what it's like to juggle kids, a husband and a personal growth business, which can be an explosive mix. Her experience has been invaluable.
4) Asking all new clients to book a series of readings instead of one-offs. I've also gone back to phone calls. Asking people to commit to two or three readings straight-up is unheard of in the psychic field. However given the intensive preparation I do (hand writing charts and tuning in for weeks prior), it felt right to ask clients to meet me halfway.
Even so, I'm nowhere as brave as Lotus – she asks her coaching clients to commit to a minimum of a year of mentoring! The move back to phone and Skype calls was also due to the Aspergers' talk I mentioned – it's just quicker and easier for me to work this way. However I still offer in person readings jointly with Kris, as they're so much fun. As I wrote in this post, I reduced my price per hour (from $550/ 1.5 hours to $610/ 2 hours before GST), to make the transition easier. It was worth it! See feedback below:
"Having the 3 calls provided a very unique experience for me with each call being vastly different and unique. My intuition let me straight to you and I trust that things are no accident but still I can be a bit of a skeptic at times. I am so pleased with the outcome. Your gifts absolutely blew me away. The amount of information I took from these 3 calls and the healing I feel inside is astounding. With the mix of numerology, palm reading, tarot and clairvoyance things really stayed fun and interesting. I would describe the energy during the calls like chatting with a close and wise friend, very comfortable.
Each of my calls had an underlining message I clearly understood …lots of fun sprinkles in between too! Kinda like having a beautiful 3 course meal customized just for you. Separately all delicious but when put together – magical. After each one, I felt myself revisiting the previous call and just thinking "WOW. How cool was THAT?!" then looking forward to what was in store for the next. The meditations we did throughout the calls were customized and original and I still practice them often. The metaphors shared when talking STILL have me cracking up!
For me a one-off consultation would have felt rushed, especially for those interested in opportunity to really grow and heal. The new client series provides a more comfortable and relaxing space to just allow things to flow which felt so natural. No feeling pressured or focused on time. That made all the difference for me." Kristi, 33/6 Lifepath
My all-time favourite chant (also inspired by Jill Genet) is, "There's a jewel in the lotus flower unfolding, deep within my soul.
And the jewel of the lotus flower en-lightens, guiding my way home. Om Mani Padme Hum Om Mani Om Mani Padme Hum." Hear it
This is how I feel after working for the past few years with Lotus. Thank you sister, for helping me find my courage and patience during this epically busy time of mothering babies, new marriage and an energy healing business. From the bottom of my Soul, I am grateful.
It feels fitting to share Peia's Blessed We Are to close this post:
"Blessed we are to dance on this ground, The rhythm of saints to carry the sound. We hold a prayer for the earth, for the ones yet to come, 'May you walk in beauty and remember your song.' Remember why you came here, Remember your life is sacred."
Please note, this is not a paid promotion. I wrote it as a surprise for Lotus. Seeing 11:11 is a reminder that every 'one' is here to reach the sky. We all deserve the freedom to grow. I am sharing my story in the hope that it will inspire you to believe in yourself and the power of sharing your fears in a safe container. Two hearts beating together can change the world. That's the Butterfly Effect.
