The 15th Mumbai Film Festival had an amazing choice of films and continuing over coverage of the same here is a look at the penultimate day of the festival i.e day 6. (Also check out the highlights of day 1, day 2, day 3, day 4 and day 5)
Day 6
The Strange Little Cat
This strange little film may not be for every taste but it must be sampled by the discerning viewer. There is no story to speak of. Just a few hours inside a household with a large family as they go about their daily chores. Anyone else would have preferred a hand held camera but director Ramon Zurcher goes for an unflinching steadycam. In the cramped confines of the house, most frames end up choppong off part of the actors' bodies, giving you an intimate look at the action. Count among the actors a dog, a cat, a moth, few sparrows and an off screen rat. I kid you not.
Bad Hair
After five days of maxing out my daily quota of films, sleep is now my critic. If I stay awake throughout the film, I give it the thumbs up. If I doze off, it's a thumbs down. And I did catch forty winks during Bad Hair. A small boy of Afro-Latino parentage is obsessed with straightening out his curly hair while his mother thinks that these are early signs of homosexuality. She tries everything to make him snap out of it, even if it means giving him a demonstration in heterosexuality. It is a telling comment on how parents fail to read their child right. There were a few beautiful moments but otherwise it was like a half hour idea stretched to an hour and a half.
This film is shot in B & W. I thought maybe the colour green will be brought in at some point but not everyone thinks like Shakespeare. An actor manages to earn just about enough to afford a small apartment with his girlfriend. The girlfriend, an actor herself, but out of work, pines for a more comfortable life. The best bits are scenes featuring the actor's 6 year old daughter from a previous marriage. She is so good; I would like to see her in a leading role in a film of her own. I couldn't catch her name though. Director Philippe Garrel ended the film abruptly, so will this review.
This famous sci-fi Spanish thriller about time travel at 88 minutes wonderfully keeps the audience engaged. Timecrimes is a classic example how a director can make a good sci -fi film in low budget.
Katiyabaaz (Powerless)
Excellent subject,very good cinematography, some stunning footages, very interesting characters but lost in narration. It is hard to criticize a documentary, where one can see the hard work of the makers. But this actually ends up in making mockery of a very sensitive topic, may be knowingly or unknowingly. Power/electricity is a very sensitive issue. It is very depressing not to be able to work, study and do business, when one desperately wants to. Though there is mention of it in the documentary, it never makes us realise the intensity of it. And that too it comes the middle of the docu. It should have started with it. Well there is no set standard of editing a documentary. But it should have started with a character, with his/her personal life and how power fits into it. It could well have started with a common person, or Loha singh, the maverick katiyabaaz, or the rebel IAS officer, Ritu Maheshwari.
It starts haphazardly. Filmmaker looked indecisive, as to which side to lean more on. Namrata Rao is an excellent feature film editor, but editing of this documentary is average. Well it might be a collaborative effort and hence no point blaming editor. But it is the structure that is disjoint, may be because of the edit, or may be because it wasn't shot with a narrative in mind. We see more about protagonist's personal lives at the end. The film jumps from one topic to other, without any purpose or sense. The film also appears cheap at some places, where sole aim of the makers, is to make people laugh. Even though the opening song is lovely, the music is irritating. Well the music is not bad, but it is used at the wrong places. Riot scenes are shot very well. The scene of beating an electrician is also shot very daringly. So there are lots of good things but it fails on one basic thing that is narrative. And it spoils what would otherwise have been a very beautiful and provoking subject.
All About Eve
Are you a struggling actor or filmmaker? If you are then you should watch this film right away. And there is reason for it, and it is the character of Eve Harrington. First thing you will instantly like about this film are the terrific written dialogues, witty and emotive, which gels with each character to its core. Second thing you will like are the characters, and good thing is you keep discovering them till the end. Sometimes hating them and sometimes loving them. And after more than 50 years the film still remains fresh. This is a restored version which you won't get on #youknowhere. It was a delight to watch another restored classic in MFF.
A Touch of Sin
This Chinese film written and directed by Zia Jhangke won the Best Screenplay Award at Cannes this year. Its a film that talks about 4 independent stories with some random act of violence bringing in a defining moment in each of these acts/stories. The film is disturbing and makes you pause and reflect thanks to some really interesting moments. The performances are top notch and this is one film that you cannot get enough of. Definitely a recommended watch.
Shield of Straw (Wara No Tate)
Takashi Miike is one of the more popular contemporary Japanese filmmakers and some of his films especially the ones with a lot of action and violence have earned him a cult following. Nominated for the Palme d'Or at Cannes this year, Shield of Straw is more of an edge of the seat thriller rather than an action film. A dangerous criminal Kunihide Kiyomaru wanted in a case pertaining to sexual abuse and murder of a 7 year old girl surrenders himself to the police, fearing for his life. The rich grandfather of the girl complicates matters by offering a 1 billion yen as reward for anyone who can exterminate the criminal. A crack team led by Mekari and Shiraiwa is deputed to escort Kunihide safely to Tokyo by a bullet train. But the journey is not safe as there are enough and more people trying to kill Kunihide on the way. An arresting story (though you can predict the flow), this one largely keeps you on your toes till the very end.
Before Midnight
Richard Linklater's 3rd film in the "Before" series of romantic dramas (Before Sunrise and Before Sunset being the other 2 films), the film once again revolves around Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Celine (Julie Delpy). Nine years after Before Sunset they are now a couple and parents of twin girls. Jesse is also trying hard to maintain his relationship with his son from his previous marriage. Jesse and Celine are now on a holiday in Greece along with the kids. Their hosts and other friends decide to gift Jesse and Celine a night at a hotel so that they can spend some precious time together. What happens throughout the evening is what the film is all about. Similar to the previous 2 films this one two works mainly due to the terrific chemistry between the lead pair and the witty conversations. Its a worthy 3rd film in a series that has almost gained legendary status by now. For a more detailed review read this and this.
Ilo Ilo
Yeh Ilo Ilo kya hai, yeh Ilo Ilo? Ilo Ilo is proof that good writing can elevate the most mundane of stories to the level of a classic. The story need not be too profound. The thought, the minor details behind every scene is what matters most. The basic structure of Ilo Ilo reminded me of A Separation. A Filipino maid is hired by a family in Singapore. The small boy in the family initially gives her hell but gradually a bond develops between the two, much to the discomfort of the mother. Alongside, the family is facing an economic crunch, reflecting the state of the Singaporean economy. This makes having a maid a luxury they can ill afford. The film touches upon many such issues while keeping the mood light and jovial. Ilo Ilo is a film of the quality achieved when the director has also written the screenplay. A memorable debut by Anthony Chen, this film won the Camera d'Or at Cannes this year.

Intern Voice: Emma
The Standard of Love
Nearly everyone struggles with the question, "Do I measure up?" We wrestle with this as long as we live. What is the standard for our lives and work, and do we measure up? We are all stewards: of time, money, energy, responsibilities, and even our minds and hearts. This is not just a question for individuals--I think constantly about the stewardship of CEM. After all, the stakes are high. It is not an exaggeration to say, as we have heard from a multitude of students, that the stewardship of Christian Encounter is a matter of physical and spiritual life and death.
People and organizations are measured in many ways, but the greatest standard is given to us by Jesus. It is summarized in what He described as the greatest commandment: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind." The standard is love! Love of God, and, as Jesus says next, love of neighbor as oneself. Love, therefore, must be the foundation, the motivation, and the result of Christian Encounter's existence.
Student Profile: Rocky
Rocky entered the world with the theme song of Rocky playing in the background. His name at birth, Rockford, was quickly shortened to Rocky by his movie aficionado father, and when Rocky's younger brother was born, he was given the name Maverick, after the lead in another well-known film. Movie nights with the family characterized Rocky's earliest memories with his father before his parents' divorce when he was five. After his father left, a year passed before Rocky heard from him, with only sporadic phone calls after that.

When the iPhone alarm sounded at 4:15am I could hear it raining but I pulled myself out of bed and as planned and this was my reward. It was a beautiful sunrise over the city this morning.
The photograph was a no brainer – just a little negative exposure compensation.

Southern Legitimacy Statement: Born in Chicago with maternal grandparents, who went back to the drawing board for childcare, probably saved me from a stint in Joliet. Mom was a "wild-child" in the late 1930's and early 1940's. Nana solved that by hiring two strong-willed black nannies from the South. Miss Roberta then Miss Betty were given total authority over mom and her sister. These ladies were rehired when I showed up. Well before the Marine Corps, the first words out of my mouth were Sir, Ma'am, Please, Thank-you, You're most welcome, and May I?. Miss Betty taught me to cook oatmeal, grits, "dirty gravy" with greens over toast, and a myriad of vegetables for entree's. We had garnet yams growing on the South-facing kitchen window 13 floors up. I learned the classic variations of "Uhn, huh, hmm…" with accents like Chinese to have a conversation or show you were paying attention before it was known as Black English. I was a Yankee boy lucky to be "Raised and Praised up right."
Ecumenical Challenges
In September of 1960, the first day at St. Joseph's Military Academy consisted of checking in, a proper haircut, and an initial indoctrination. I lugged my duffle bag with a complete uniform issue through check-in. A senior eighth grade cadet pointed to a doorway for my next station.
Inside, a line of new cadets aged from first to eighth grade formed along the wall. At the far end of the hall, a barber snipped away clumps of wavy hair from a startled newbie. His clippers buzzed as a cadet swept the scattered locks up from the dull green linoleum floor into a waste bin.
Quiet conversations droned among the boys in line. A number of new wee tykes had tears in their eyes. A young novitiate in a black-over-deep-blue habit consoled them. They were homesick already. Subjecting first and second grade children to a military boarding school seemed odd to me. Maybe they were Spartans who survived the mountaintop.
Experienced returning cadets were already in their recreation halls by grade level. They had arrived in uniform with military haircuts. Small groups of them with their parents and siblings were chatting among teaching nuns. Smiles, shoulder pats, and occasional laughter trickling throughout the hallways helped the time pass. Observing the black and white habited Sisters bantering informally with cadets and parents assuaged some of my fears.
However, one caveat kept me on guard. These friendly dialogues surrounding me were among Roman Catholic families and the Vatican's own version of Women Marines, the teaching order of the Sisters of St. Joseph. My parentage was half Irish and half Brit/Canuck. I was also an Episcopalian. That sort of made me an Irish wolfhound among the Vatican lions.
* * *
My priest, Father Mainor, had been appalled at my parents' decision to send my brother Ricky and me to a Catholic military boarding school. Since we were already enrolled and our complete uniform issues were packed, he went ahead with a game plan to ease my transition. It rivaled any strategies the Chicago Blackhawks had to handle the Toronto Maple Leafs.
For a couple of hours a day during my remaining week before leaving, we reviewed prior catechism lessons and New Testament highlights. Since my little brother was going into fourth grade, he was too young for any religious academics. On the other hand, I was already confirmed.
I was also considered a bit iconoclastic due to my questioning some of the religious authority and historical events. Father Mainor welcomed these exchanges in our discussions. But he cautioned me that any such inquisitiveness during, or even outside of, classes at St. Joseph's would be viewed dimly.
On our last day, Father gave me a folded note to study before arrival at the academy. He told me it contained two important things to learn and remember about the Sisters.
"First, Flip, always remember they really do love you. These women have taken a lifetime vow to ensure your well-being…whether you want it or not."
He smiled, winked at me, and dipped his head to signal if I'd understood his meaning. I nodded in agreement, so Father Mainor continued,
"Ah, that brings us to the second issue you'll deal with. You already know Roman Catholics consider Episcopalians, along with Lutherans, to be temporarily astray theologically. Many of the Catholic clergy are convinced it is their primary duty in life to help us return to the Vatican family. Because you're confirmed, they'll ask if you want to be excused from any catechism classes. Do not take that option, Flip. Tell them you wish to stay in those classes. It will help you to understand our faith. It will also earn you respect from your teaching nuns. Hold your doctrinal questions until weekends for discussions here. The Sisters of St. Joseph won't be receptive to any contrasting viewpoints evolved from the Protestant Reformation. Don't even think about it. Got that, kid?"
"Yes, Father."
"Good. Now that note…don't deviate from the two scripted responses I've written for you. They already know you're confirmed as an Episcopalian. Soon after your arrival an experienced Sister will contact you. It will be just light conversation for introductions. Once that's done, the real purpose will come out. This Sister will politely let you know about their duty to help you return to the authentic or true teachings. Don't get miffed about it. It's just her sworn duty.
Be polite, articulate, and go by the script. You were in theater at Parker so you'll know your lines. Give the nun your best Irish smile, look her right in the running lights, dot your 'i's, and cross those't's. So, are you ready for tomorrow?"
"Yeah, Father, I guess so."
"Flip, I know what you're thinking. Look at the bright side. Not having any young ladies to chase for the school year will have you all rested up for next summer."
"Yeah, and there's always the benefit of my having fewer adventures to bore you with during Saturday confession, huh, Father?"
He smiled and then we shook hands. I put the note in my blue jeans' pocket and headed up the block for my last supper of a cheeseburger, crispy fries, and a black-and-white malt from Johnny at Cotler Drugs on the corner.
* * *
I leaned against the wall, pulled out my steel comb, and realigned my blond
Brill-Creamed mane. My attire consisted of cuffed blue jeans, high-topped black and white Converse sneakers, and a leather jacket. My father wasn't too keen on the James Dean look so the jacket was a dark orange-red Western-styled affair.
I grinned at a punch line for an Irish joke whispered by a seasoned Polish cadet beside me. He decided to forego the required haircut and was promptly sent to our line. I learned later this, and other rebellious endeavors, had been his modus vivendi since his parents dropped him off in first grade. He definitely was a Spartan survivor and was also in my sixth grade class.
An elderly nun in black and white strolled toward us with her arms clasped behind her. My clothing and pompadour must have prompted her attention. She stopped and turned with military precision to face me. The Sister looked me up and down then broke into a broad smile. Her aquamarine eyes glittered like Austrian crystal through her wire-rimmed spectacles.
I smiled back at her.
The Sister rocked back and forth on her feet then spoke, "Well, Cadet Hollywood, it looks like you're finally going to get a decent haircut."
The reception hall fell silent except for the buzzing of the barber's clippers at the far end. The veteran Polish cadet next to me sidestepped two strides away quietly while looking down.
I grinned and replied, "Yeah."
I came to, after a sharp crack accompanied by a white flash, on the floor by the wall with one leg over my duffle bag. The other cadets snickered along their line.
The nun stood over me with her arms again clasped behind her. Her head tilted while she still grinned. The left side of my face throbbed and burned.
She leaned down toward me and whispered, "It is Yeah, SISTER."
I was still holding my face and replied, "Yes, Sister."
She nodded and quipped, "Ah, and you're a quick study, too. What is your name?"
I jumped up and faced her. I wasn't really angry. Curiosity overtook any reactions I may have had. Just who was this lady? This Sister strolled up to me and joked about my hairstyle like Pat O'Brien.
Then I came to at her feet as she grinned down at me like James Cagney. Funny…she didn't look Irish, but she hit like one.
I smiled and told her my name, making darned sure to add the Sister.
The nun nodded again then spoke, "I'm Sister Pietro. My class is the eighth grade and I have other duties regarding behavior throughout the upper grades. Your name is on the sixth grade roster. You and your younger brother are listed as non-Catholics. May I be impertinent in asking what faith your family is?"
In my best formal use of the King's English, I answered according to my script,
"My pleasure, Sister. We are Episcopalian and I am confirmed in the records of
The Church of Our Saviour at Fullerton and Clark Street on the North Side.
My priest is the Right Reverend Father Mainor from Toronto, Canada."
Sister Pietro chuckled, "… and a bright heretic, to boot. You are probably aware it is my sworn obligation to attempt your conversion back into our community."
I paused, remembering those dotted 'i's and crossed 't's, served up my deepest stare right into her aqua crystals, and repeated the second phrase of Father's note, "Oh, yes, Sister. I am looking forward to any ecumenical challenges."
Her eyes twinkled as she laughed. She reached up with her right hand and gave a gentle tug on my left ear lobe followed by a faint tap on my left cheek. Then Sister Pietro murmured, "Me too, Cadet Hollywood. I'll introduce you to your teacher, Sister John Mary, after all these formalities are concluded."
In that moment, we became joined at the theological hip.
Sister Pietro turned on her heels, stepped off, and resumed patrolling the haircut line. The other newbies stared at me. By the end of the afternoon, my nomme de guerre would be The Heretic to many of the cadets.
Sister Pietro called me Cadet Hollywood the rest of that year.

However Adrian is correct that the ticketing and smart card system is unbelievably clunky still promoting buying tickets from the driver meaning that if a group of 20 exchange students gets on at each stop in Princes Street it can take 20 mins to get from one end to another and even without this in busy periods the Prince Street North Bridge Lothian Road Shandwick Place stretch can be a massive bottle neck. Given Edin has a minimal suburban railway network it would be GREAT if these issues could be sorted out in this supposed capital city! The electronic bus info signs are also the poorest design I have ever seen and never fitted into bus shelters add to Edin's terrible street clutter problem. Nonetheless we are still very lucky to have LRT buses and be able to experience the joh of sailing up and down The Mound or Dundas Street atop a double decker!

 The tram so far is of minor imapct unless you happen to live / work on the route and the single stop on Princes Street and not that near Waverley Station is a total joke.

Just a few comments loosely related to your blog:
As an exapt living in the UK I found it most astonishing that one has to juggle with a multitude of tickets and companies simply to get from A to B. Another aspect I found surprising was that many buses only provide one entrance and exit, making boarding and leaving the bus a time consuming process. The same, by the way, applies to many railway stations. Finally, the public transport/bus maps provided in most areas are extremely poorly designed. I particularly think of the examples from Liverpool I know. For an example of a good public transport map showing all modes of transport, have a look at the superb maps in the Ruhrgebiet:

The cure for what ails you…
Minneapolis, Minnesota quartet, New Medicine has been on the road for nearly two straight years prepping for the release of, and then is support of its debut album, Race You To The Bottom. The band was founded in 2009 by frontman Jake Scherer along with bassist Matt Brady, guitarist Dan Garland, and kit killer Ryan Guanzon.
New Medicine's dynamic sound has made the band a tour favorite, having connected with Halestorm, then Rockstar Energy's Uproar Festival, then a slot on the Avenged Sevenfold/StoneSour tour. Now the guys are back on the road with their friends in Adelitas Way, along with Emphatic and Art of Dying. It's a melodic hard rock/metal lover's dream tour.
Vocalist Jake Scherer is a prolific songwriter, and has stockpiled a ton of material for the band's next couple of albums, but New Medicine is still riding the wave of excitement over its debut. Race You To The Bottom is an 11-track gritty and raucous, melodic punk metal masterpiece. The songs mix uptempo, feel good, headbanging footstompers with socially conscious and at times personally poignant moments.
As the guys pulled the van into Jaunita's in Little Rock, Arkansas, Jake gave us a call to talk the never-ending tour, what the guys do to maintain their sanity, when we might see a second New Medicine record, along with chatter about blunts, blown tires, and Christmas carols.

The European Accessibility requirements for ICT products and services standard EN 301 549, has recently been updated to include support for the new World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility GUidelines (WCAG) 2.1 standard.
W3C has confirmed that the update will specificly relate to Information and Communications Technology (ICT) including, web content, electronic documents and non-web software, such as native mobile apps.
In addition to the announcement being good news for Europe, it is likely to have positive implications for Australia as the Australian accessible procurement standard is closely related to the European standard.
The announcement marks a significant shift in the delivery of accessibility requirements as WCAG 2.1 requires a greater effort in the accessibility of web content on mobile devices. Additional information on the announcement can be found on the W3C WCAG 2.1 Adoption in Europe announcement page.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 3, 2017 — One of the best things about the Trump presidency is being able to tune out the media. President Trump's opponents have been going at it full bore since the election, and the media are just plain dishonest.
Thus, ignoring the news has become a fairly simple process.
President Obama is living the good life, traveling the world to prestigious destinations while criticizing his replacement from every nook and cranny of the world.
It's typical Trump vs vintage Obama, and it's not going to stop for at least another three and a half years.
Who can tell whether Trump is doing a good job or just getting by? Most of the media will not report the news accurately, and there is so much bias on both sides that it is virtually impossible to get any reliable information. Best thing to do is turn off the radio and television and accept the "white noise" that surrounds this presidency.
Speaking from another luxurious locale in Indonesia, Obama criticized Trump on the eve of the Fourth of July with remarks that were recorded by numerous media resources.
Speaking in Jakarta at the opening of the Fourth Congress of the Indonesian Diaspora, Bloomberg reports that Obama said, "In Paris, we came together around the most ambitious agreement in history to fight climate change. (It was) an agreement that even with the temporary absence of American leadership will still give our children a fighting chance.
"The challenges of our times, whether it's economic inequality, changing climate, terrorism, mass migration; these are really challenges and we're going to have to confront them together."
Obama's words sound nice, but they were the former president's specialty: empty rhetoric.
"Economic inequality"? What does a man who, with his family, lived a life of luxury courtesy of the American people and, since leaving office, has made luxury his avocation understand about the reality of economic inequality?
"Changing climate"? If climate change is so important, then why aren't the world's grand and fabulous pooling their resources to combat the problem rather than hosting and attending spectacular congresses, flying by private jet to glad-hand beneath meaningless bannered slogans? Al Gore has parlayed his climate policies into greater wealth than Obama has the White House. To what end?
"Terrorism" and "mass migration"? What did Obama do as president that came anywhere close to fighting Islamic jihad or eliminating illegal immigration?
Obama had his chances, and he blew them. Perhaps Trump is imploding as well, but who can tell without balanced media coverage?
According to England's "The Guardian," Obama said in Jakarta, "It's been clear for a while that the world is at a crossroads, at an inflection point. If we don't stand up for tolerance and moderation and respect for others, if we begin to doubt ourselves and all that we have accomplished, then much of the progress that we have made will not continue."
This is more rhetoric divorced from reality. Where have the Democrats hidden their "tolerance and moderation and respect for others" since Trump took the oath of office? Their favorite word since the middle of January has been "impeachment." "Tolerance"? "Moderation"? "Respect for others"?
George Bush went eight long years without saying much of anything about Obama and his policies. Obama, on the other hand, chooses to blast the American president while speaking on foreign soil rather than having the guts to be critical at home.
By contrast, Trump spoke at an event at Walter Reed Medical Center which included wounded soldiers. The contrast in style could not be more evident. "America is a land rich with heroes. We all bleed the same red blood," said Trump.
"Since the signing of the Declaration of Independence 241 years ago, America always affirmed that liberty comes from our Creator. Our rights are given to us by God, and no earthly force can ever take those rights away. That is why my administration is transferring power out of Washington and returning that power back where it belongs — to the people."
Tweets or no tweets, as America prepares to celebrate nearly 250 years of independence tomorrow, take time to embrace the ideals of our founding fathers and see whether you can honestly say that Barack Obama,from Muslim Indonesia, cares more about our country than Donald Trump, in the United States of America.

Interactive Option company information
Interactive Option is a binary option brand from Pegase Capital Limited, a company based in Cyprus and audited by CySEC under license number 225/14. The company is founded in 2013 and thus a rather new binary option broker. Although it's quite new, the binary option broker already has huge success in capital markets like Frankfurt, London and Paris. Out of all binary option brokers, Interactive Option has the most beautiful, user friendly and effective trading platform for PC, smartphone and tablet.
Interactive Option payout percentages
Interactive Option wants to be the best and most reliable binary option broker on the market. They currently offer more than 250 financial assets to buy or sell binary options on and pay out way higher than most other binary option brokers. A massive pay out of 90% to 92% on standard binary options is above industry average which currently lies about 85% on standard binary options.
Interactive Option binary option trading platform
Interactive Option runs on the brand new SpotOption trading platform and offers advanced trading methods like short term binary options of 60 and even 30 seconds! Long term options with expiry rates up to one year, One Touch Options, Ladder Options, Follow Me Options, Pair Options and Option Builder are all featured binary options and methods of binary option trading available on Interactive Option. Interactive Option offers the possibility to trade binary options on up to four different monitors. It's also possible to draw your own charts and graphs.
Interactive Option deposit and withdrawal information
Interactive Option is a binary option that pays out very fast, the fastest among binary option brokers at the moment, to be more precisely. Withdrawal requests by Skrill/Moneybookers, Paypal and Neteller are conducted within 2 hours and wire transfers and credit card deposits take up to 3 business days, faster than the 5 business days timeframe offered by other binary option brokers. It saves precious time to open up an account at one of these e-wallet providers. Interactive Option is one of the few binary option brokers where binary option traders can deposit using Paypal.
Interactive Option customer service
The Interactive Option customer service is available by live chat, toll-free phone number in four countries and by email. The website and support team is available in 7 languages. Each binary option trader gets his own account manager where he or she receives individual training and technical expertise from. Weekly market analysis, free trading signals and a free educational eBook all belong to the educational material available in the education centre of Interactive Option.
Interactive Option mobile binary trading
Interactive Option has designed a user friendly and clear binary option trading app for smartphones and tablets both Android and iOS. The app is literally a mobile or tablet look-a-like from the web trader but then more compact. To get the Interactive Option app, simply download it via Google play store or via the App store for iOS. Binary option trading continues 24/6, so it's good to always have your open option trades with you.
Interactive Option review conclusion
What makes Interactive Option truly unique is not only it's wide range of available binary option types and features like Roll Over, Double Up and Sell Early but also it's high payouts of between 90% and 92% on standard or vanilla binary options. Interactive Option is in my opinion also the most beautiful graphical binary option trading platform. Being regulated by CySEC and having no scam history makes Interactive Option a reliable binary options broker. Taken all this in consideration, Interactive Option is one of the best binary option brokers for both new and experienced binary option traders.

I've dated some toxic guys over the years, but one of the worst was the ex who told me he was going to buy me a boob job for my birthday. What the hell?
Things had been great between us up until that point.
At that point, we'd been happily dating for six months and he was actually a really good boyfriend. Of course, just like any couple, we had a few ups and downs, but our relationship was solid (or so I thought) and I truly felt like he really liked me.
It wasn't the kind of birthday gift I had in mind.
One day, we were chilling together and talking about my upcoming birthday. I was hoping he was going to surprise me with an awesome book I'd seen in the bookstore and pointed out to him, but instead, he said that he wanted to buy me a boob job. I was so shocked and I was sure I'd misheard him.
My vision went red and I immediately got up and left the room.
He smiled and acted like he was doing me a favor by suggesting this "gift." To be honest, I wanted to punch him—and I'm not a violent person. He chased me when I walked away and he tried to explain, but I wasn't having it. He claimed he was just doing something good for me because it would boost my self-confidence. WTF? Who was this guy?
Admittedly, I had low self-confidence.
Having my boyfriend point out my problems actually hurt because I didn't realize my lack of self-confidence was on show for everyone to see. I didn't feel that great about myself and I didn't like my body, but I didn't need someone who supposedly cared about me rubbing it in my face.
My self-confidence had affected my relationship.
I wasn't always comfortable being naked. I didn't really feel good about letting my boyfriend see my body. He knew I had issues with my breasts—I always hated how small they were—but that didn't mean he could suggest something like breast implants! How could he not get that?
He didn't see how inappropriate it was.
To him, it was pretty logical: I didn't like my boobs so to make me feel better, he'd buy me implants. Wow, what an amazing boyfriend. Gee, how lucky was I? In reality, I wasn't flattered at all. In fact, instead of making me feel better about myself, it made me feel much, much worse. He didn't seem to get why or even care.
He made me feel like there was something wrong with me.
After all the times my boyfriend had told me not to worry about my breasts, that he loved me for who I was and that I was perfect in his eyes, now I was getting the real truth out of him. He didn't like me for me—he only liked me because I was a work in progress in his eyes. This caused my self-esteem to take a major dive. I know it shouldn't have mattered what he thought, but I couldn't help feeling bad. Our whole relationship felt like a lie.
I'm ashamed to admit that I actually considered it.
For a few days, I really thought hard about what he was suggesting. I tried to see it from his practical viewpoint. Maybe a boob job would help me feel better about myself. It would boost my self-confidence and be good for the health of our relationship, right?
Those feelings didn't last long.
Sooner or later, I snapped out of those ridiculous thoughts. I didn't want to go under the knife to be what someone expected me to be. I didn't like everything about my body, that was true, but that didn't mean I wanted to get a different one. I wish my stupid ex had tried to understand that!
I needed support, not someone who reinforces society's ridiculous ideals.
There's nothing wrong with getting a boob job, but it's just not for me. I want to be with someone who respects me and genuinely loves me just the way I am. The only way a boob job would've been seen as an acceptable birthday present was if I'd told my ex that that's what I wanted. It's never acceptable in my books for my partner to suggest things I should do with my body, whether it's my hairstyle, weight, boobs, or anything else. My body is MY temple, nobody else's, and no one else has a say in how it looks.
The only thing I cut was my boyfriend out of my life.
I wasn't going under the knife anytime soon, but my boyfriend was in need of a good old kick to the curb. It boosted my self-confidence more than any cosmetic surgery could ever achieve.

DAVID Howell's BMW PGA Championship campaign came to a premature end at Wentworth yesterday.
The 44-year-old was again hurt by one disastrous hole, as he this time took eight shots to complete the par-four 15th towards the end of his round.
Admittedly, Howell's hopes of making the cut were slim before his 15th hole flop. But it, without question, ended all hopes of a late surge into the competition's top half.
Swindon-born Howell's afternoon got off to a positive start, though he had to show mental strength to overcome an opening-hole bogey on the par four first.
Holes two, three, four and five saw Howell shoot two-under – as he registered birdies on the second, fourth and fifth with a bogey sandwiched between on the par-four third.
Howell's topsy-turvy round continued on hole six, as he shot his third bogey of the day to place him level-par for his second round.
Though Howell birdied the eighth, his efforts were undone in the round's later stages.
A bogey on the par-four 13th ensured his uphill battle continued, that was before his woeful efforts on the 15th.
Pars followed on holes 16 and 17 before Howell rounded off his afternoon with a birdie on the 18th.

Two-time Olympic medallist Bevan Docherty, on the back of huge hometown support, smashed a classy field and the course record to win on debut in the Kellogg's Nutri-Grain Ironman New Zealand in Taupo today.
On a day when the weather in Taupo was absolutely perfect for Ironman racing, the prospect of some record-breaking times was always on the cards, but Docherty's dissection of a class field was not predicted.
Meanwhile American Meredith Kessler produced an equally dominant performance to win the women's race over 2009 champion Gina Crawford (Christchurch) who closed the gap significantly late in the race.
Docherty, the former ITU world champion, turned to long course racing professionally last year at Panama 70.3 when he beat Lance Armstrong in the controversial snub race. Even then it was obvious Docherty meant business and Armstrong knew it, but whether Docherty thought his first Ironman title would come so soon is another thing.
"I guess I was a rookie because I went a bit hard in the swim behind Marko and I don't know why I made the break with 40kms to go on the bike because I paid for it," Docherty said.
"It was a matter of finishing as quickly as I could because the body was beginning to shut down. To get a course record was a bonus.
"This is hard. I went in to some deep dark place out there with about 10km to go. I actually walked and I suffered for 3km, got some Coke into me and got some feeling back."
From the start of the swim where Albert lead the pack, Docherty stuck to his feet and never let them out of his sight. Cameron Brown was always in the chase pack but had a good swim, however, chase was the key word in today's race as Albert and Docherty lead the bike from start to finish.
As the kilometres ticked by the lead pair just tugged away at any attempt to chase them down before Docherty made his move to open a two minute lead off the 180km bike.
While 2008 Ironman 70.3 World Champion Terenzo Bozzone made an early move to close the gap on the bike before withdrawing in the run, and 10-time Ironman New Zealand champion Cameron Brown tried to close on the run but it was Docherty who reigned supreme.
He won in a new course record of 8hr 15min 35sec, which was three minutes inside Brown's previous mark (8:18:05), on the back of a 45:44 swim, a 4:35:05 cycle and 2:49:46 marathon run.
Sceptics did wonder whether Docherty had it in him to go the long haul with questions about pacing on the bike and handling nutrition over an eight hour period but as he cruised down the finish chute everyone could see he'd got it just right.
"It was pretty amazing out there. To win first up here in my hometown was pretty special. It was a great day, the sun was shining, the people were out supporting. It really showed off Taupo perfectly.
"I hope the race stays here. And if it does I will always support it.
"Now I will have a good break and spend some time with the family. And then I will plan for Hawaii.
"I really appreciate how these guys do it. It is freaking crazy. But at the same time I see the attraction. It is a real drug. And the last 500m down the chute is why we do the sport."
Albert finished 10 minutes back in 8:25:30 but still nine minutes clear of Brown, who was trying to become the second oldest man to win an Ironman race. In the end he had to settle for third, his first loss in Taupo over the full Ironman here since 2000.
"Bevan was fantastic today. I just had nothing. I tried on the bike but he kept going away and I pushed on the run but had nothing. He deserved it for sure today."
The women's race was always going to be a bit of a two horse race with last year's 70.3 winner Kessler keen to come back to Taupo to do the job properly.
The expected close duel in the water did not eventuate with Kessler leading from the start with a brilliant swim coming out fourth overall in 47:37 to open an unexpected four-minute advantage over Crawford.
The 34-year-old from San Francisco was seven minutes ahead after the bike but Crawford came back late to finish just over three minutes behind.
"You know, when you have someone of Gina's calibre, currently seventh in the world on your tail you can never really let up but right up until the 30km mark on the run I thought I'd handled it well, it was only at 30km that the wheels started to come off and I had to dig deep," Kessler said.
Both Gina and Meredith said despite perfect weather conditions there was definitely something out there today that made for a very tiring race, "buggered" was Gina's description whilst Meredith just wanted to crawl into the foetal position as soon as possible.
Crawford said she had never felt as shattered after an ironman race, after pushing hard to close the gap on Kessler throughout.
Fellow Kiwi Candice Hammond from Cambridge stood up Kessler by a whopping 16 minutes out of the swim but managed to match the American around the rest of the course to finish third.

The group will be tasked with evaluating how the U.S. Department of Justice handles cyberthreats aimed at elections systems, as well as threats to infrastructure, violent propaganda and corporate theft.
(TNS) — Attorney General Jeff Sessions has established a cyber task force to evaluate and study efforts to interfere with U.S. elections, the Justice Department announced Tuesday,
The "Cyber-Digital Task Force" will evaluate how the department is fighting cyberthreats and how it could do so better.
Sessions said the task force will prioritize research on efforts to interfere with U.S. elections and also study attempts to hack into infrastructure, violent propaganda, and corporate theft.
The group will issue a report by the end of June.
The announcement comes days after special counsel Robert Mueller's office charged more than a dozen Russian nationals with an elaborate plot to sow political discord and disrupt the 2016 election through false or misleading online activity.
A federal grand jury indicted 13 Russians and three Kremlin-linked companies, and charged them with a yearslong multimillion-dollar effort to meddle in the U.S. election and help President Donald Trump win the White House.
The U.S. intelligence community announced its assessment regarding the Russian campaign to influence the election in a report more than a year ago.
Intelligence leaders recently warned about Russia's intentions to interfere in the 2018 elections.
Despite the dire warnings from officials, Trump has repeatedly cast doubt on Russia's role in the hacking of Democratic National Committee emails and other efforts to influence the U.S. election.
He falsely claimed in an early Sunday morning Twitter post that he never rejected the notion that Russia interfered.
"I never said Russia did not meddle in the election, I said 'it may be Russia, or China or another country or group, or it may be a 400 pound genius sitting in bed and playing with his computer,'" Trump wrote. "The Russian 'hoax' was that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia — it never did!"

"Enough" can be a hard number to come by.
Some Thoughts from Fred Martin
In the years I've spent helping people manage their investments, I've seen it all from unbelievable earnings to inevitable crashes. I've seen people think they can beat the market and I've seen people let themselves get beat by it, giving up and going home when things looked dismal. I've met more than one person let a bad investment decision take them out of the game, and I've seen more than that never get in the game at all.
Those who know me well won't be surprised to hear me say that I'm serious about purpose. By purpose I'm not talking about some altruistic, philosophical concept. You don't have to climb a mountain to find it. I'm talking about something practical that gives you a guide in your investment and financial planning decisions. Purpose is ultimately the question of "why?"
Without it, we can never have enough.
You have to figure out what you're doing it all for. For some, it's so you can slow down and enjoy time with family. For others, it's knowing you can give generously to non-profits or humanitarian efforts. For some, it's putting kids or grandkids through college or taking care of family for generations to come. For most of us, it's a combination of these. But each one is unique, and whatever your purpose, it has to be yours.
So how much is enough when it comes to financial planning? You can add as many zeros to the end of a number as you like. It's all empty if you don't align your money and your life. Because enough isn't a number. There will always be something you don't have; something more you could have done.
Enough is found when we've aligned our money with our lives.
Join us at the Objective Measure Conference. We'll be talking about purpose and the habits we need to have in place to make enough possible.

More information about our mobility chairs
We all know that exercise – and having an active life in general – is good for you.
However, did you realise that the amount of time you spend sat down is important to your health too and that your chair could, in fact, be killing you?
According to the British Heart Foundation, sitting down for too long makes the risks from diabetes and cardiovascular disease much greater, and also has a connection to poor mental health.
That's not to say we all need to watch TV, eat meals, read and do puzzles standing up, of course! However, it does put added emphasis on the need to get up and move about regularly, and also to choose the best chair in the first place.
We could be putting undue strain on our musculoskeletal systems – our bones and joints – if we sit in poorly designed chairs for hours at a time.
One of the ways you will know that you don't have the right chair for your body shape, weight and height, is if you feel stiff, cramped or even slightly achy when you stand up. Or worse still, you physically struggle to get upright, from a seated position. Those are all warning signs that it's time to go shopping for new chairs that tick all the right boxes.
How can you choose the right chair?
Choosing the right chair for you is not all about the structural properties and long-term comfort and support it provides though. Mobility Furniture works with its trusted and specialist suppliers to offer chairs which are ergonomically appropriate, but also beautiful.
We are able to offer a wide choice of colours, fabrics and finishes, so you get a chair that looks good, as well as doing you good! For many people with physical challenges – and the elderly – this means selecting from expertly crafted mobility chairs.
Types of chairs that are best for posture and comfort
If you browse our carefully selected range of mobility chairs, we're confident you can find the right one to match your physical needs, but also your lifestyle, preferences and room décor. Incidentally, help and advice in choosing the right chair for you is always available from our friendly team.
It's simply a matter of finding a chair to match your needs, that would also look great in your home – there is no need to compromise on these twin aims.
Basically, the main mobility chair options are:
Luxury reclining chair
Our luxury reclining chairs are the ultimate in comfort. They will help you to find the exact chair position and height to match your physical frame, balance pressure points and rest with ease. You can literally sit back and relax, or stay upright with your spine in perfect alignment.
Electric Recline chairs
These fabulous looking chairs can be adjusted at the touch of a button, with seat bases and backs that rise and fall to suit you. Power recliner chairs can be adjusted to accurately reflect seat height, depth, angle of posture and spacing for your arms to rest too.
Rise and Recliner chairs
Having an adjustable chair can be important, to match your seating needs exactly. Riser recliners are even more intuitively supportive. This is because they also help you to get up, and off the chair, effortlessly. A riser recliner can be invaluable if you have issues with mobility, or you are concerned about balance when you stand up from a chair.
Orthopaedic chairs
Seat height and depth can play a major role in how comfortable, supportive and posture-wise a chair is. Our range of orthopaedic chairs have been carefully designed and manufactured to ergonomically match a range of physical needs. Each well-thought-out and expertly constructed chair supports your spine, neck, legs and arms correctly, even when you sit for long periods.
