I think I may never get around to updating everything, so I'll just ramble off some of the things that have been happening in the last couple of weeks.
We celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary by running some errands and doing Christmas shopping. Our aim was to finish all our shopping before I deliver. It may be an everyday thing for a lot of people, but having a whole day to hang out, just the two of us, is something Jon and I don't get to do that often. It turned out that our anniversary took on an 'old school' theme by accident. It started with lunch at Wishbone, a restaurant that's been around since I was a little girl. My Mum had a cooked food stall opposite, and between plucking tao gay and picking tau suan, my brother and I would hop over to buy ice-cream from Happy Kappy, their dessert arm.
Dinner was at Shashlik, a Russian restaurant at Far East Shopping Centre. It's a place with special meaning for us cos Jon once brought me there for a surprise dinner. It was one of those times that he really really managed to surprise me :) Things haven't changed at all in the intervening nine years. The place looks the same, and the food was just as good. The Borsch was heavenly and the Shashlik, of course, was great too. As for dessert, we just couldn't resist ordering the ever indulgent baked Alaska. How things have changed for us personally though. We're now married with one kid, and one more on the way!
Day 2 of our wedding anniversay (our wedding was spread over 2 days, so we have an excuse to celebrate more!), we had lunch at the chicken rice stall on the top floor of Far East Plaza – another old school joint. Somewhere we both went to as students.
For me it felt like we were dating all over again, and it was just sweet and romantic in an everyday, ordinary way :)
Now that we're both on leave too, we've been settling stuff in the day while Asher's at school. We haven't had so many afternoons out together since we were students! So we caught Narnia, and I'm hoping to catch the sneak of Gulliver's Travels tomorrow.
As for Asher, he's settled very well into his new school. Although initially he'd protest a bit when I left, now he walks off to join his friends and blows us kisses as we head off :) He always seems to happy when we pick him up, and I love how he runs to us to greet us with a big big hug :) Things really took a turn for the better when Jon started dropping off and picking up Asher together with me. I think that helped him adjust more quickly. I was worried that if I continued to drop/pick Asher alone, when Baby comes Asher would feel abandoned or neglected if I suddenly stopped sending him to school. So these last 2 weeks we've been doing it together, and it has come to the point where Asher's ok even if Jon picked him up by himself.
Jon's been more hands on these last two weeks at home, and that has helped me lots, and is great for Asher. From helping with laundry to bathing Asher when I need a rest. Asher's now even closer to Jon, and it's evidenced by requests from Asher for Daddy to read to him, even though storytime is usually done by Mummy. I'm really happy to see them bonding :)
Asher's also eating SO much better. I was reading up on picky eating sometime last month, and found that kids who are not pressured to eat end up getting all the nutrients they need anyway. I think that perhaps in my anxiety about his weight loss and his poor food in-take, I was unconsciously making meal times stressful for him. I decided to let go, to not press for him to "take another bite", to just offer him a wide variety of healthy options and let him pick when he wants to eat from that selection. I decided to let him be in charge of his intake, afterall they say breastfed kids know how to regulate their food intake well. And the results were quick and satisfying. Within a day or two he was eating more, and he started drinking milk again (yes, he had rejected even that! At it's worst, he could go an entire day with less than 200ml of milk and just 2 tablespoons of rice!). He now generally eats heartily, even though there are some meals where he just picks at the food. But that's ok. I've come to be very zen about it, especially cos I now adopt the mindset that it's just one of many meals in a week. He's still more of a vegetarian/fruitarian, not liking to eat meat that much, but I've found a pretty decent list of almost full-proof food that he'll take, some of these he ate even during his picky phase. Some things are, well, fast-food, but I've also come to think that if he will eat it, let him be. It's still food afterall. At home offer him the healthier stuff, outside, close one eye.
So here's the list: all fruits, veg (esp carrots and corn), my bolognaise sauce, fish fingers, chicken nuggets, egg tofu, rice (esp if he helped to cook it), roti prata, tortillas, eggs (in one form or another – but you must give it to him in the form he wants or he won't eat it), and the KFC breakfast platter (he esp likes the biscuits). Besides these, the cuisine that seems to work almost all the time is Indian food. So far, he has without fail (to my memory at least) eaten well whenever we have Indian food. Roti prata is one case in point. He will happily munch on egg prata, and sometimes even dips it into the curry. He loves briyani rice, he eats dahl curry, has munched up palak paneer (a mild spinach and cheese curry) with gusto, likes vegetable korma, eats dosai and apun jala (pancakes which look like spider webs), and enjoys papadum no end. I think he likes their stronger flavours, and I'm not surprised, given how much Indian and Malay food I ate when I was pregnant and breastfeeding.
So it was a very happy Selena tonight as we left Samy's curry. He ate very well, eating half a good sized piece of dry curried fish (he actually ate fish without me having to sneak it in!), dahl with briyani, papadum, and a cup of mixed fruit (this is something I didn't know they offered until today!). I have always liked going to Samy's curry, and we've brought him there before, but tonight I left thinking, "I love Samy's!". The staff are always so friendly to him, saying hi as they walk by. He likes having his own banana leaf to eat off, free flow of papadum and dahl, fab lime juice, and now there's even fruits to end the meal!! And for the parents – great teh tarik too :)
We weighed him tonight, and I was very surprised and happy to see that he's finally broken 12! He's 12.4 kg!! What a vast improvement from a month ago when he fell back into the 10 range!
So I'm very very happy to see Asher happy at home, at school, at meals. He's really been a jolly fellow these few weeks with Mummy and Daddy being available to him. I hope it keeps up when Baby comes, and when Jon goes back to work.
Speaking of Baby, we've decided on the name already, but we'll keep it under wraps until he arrives. Asher's been refering to Baby by his name for the last several months, and I suppose we can't change it now else he'd be so confused when Baby is introduced with a different name. Anyway, it's a name we like very much, and in fact was the first name we considered many many months ago when I was about 3-4 months pregnant. We deliberated several others in the last few months, but nothing quite sat as well with us. Anyway, I'll elaborate more on the name when Baby arrives.
Asher's been very sweet though. He talks about Baby as part of the family. A few days ago when playing with blocks he built a house for Baby. He has also in his new school played with a baby doll, and called it by Baby's name. He carried the doll, brought it for a stroll around the room in a stroller, fed him milk, and included him in storytime :) (I've some pics, will see if I can upload when I move to a new site.) He says that Baby loves him, and he loves Baby. I just hope that this good feeling keeps up!
I've been getting him prepared for the arrival of the little one. Asher chose to give a toy to Baby, and he's picked out which toy. He knows I'm going to be in hospital for two days, and he'll stay with Por Por. He knows it tiring to deliver and Mummy might be sleeping a lot after. And the most recent piece of info I've introduced is that Mummy doesn't know when Baby is coming. Only God/Jesus knows. I realised I had to tell him this last piece of info too in case Baby comes in the middle of the night and we're not around in the morning when he wakes up! Right now Asher's not the most reliable predictor of when Baby will come. Every time I ask him whether Baby is coming before or after Christmas the answer changes :)
And as for Christmas, I can't wait! :) Where will I be celebrating it? At home? At a friend's house? In hospital? Let's just see how it goes!

I'm sorry to hear about your son. Autism seems quite common among our kids. Do you have any other options as far as therapists go? To quote another forum parent, bad therapy is worse than no therapy. If you don't have any other options, consider putting him on a therapy break while you search for alternatives.
By the way, I have edited your post to remove your name. Feel free to add it back in if you like; most of us prefer to post anonymously so that we can speak more freely and protect our kids' privacy at the same time.

I am new here and would like access to other forums.
Its been a while since I have been on Fourms so please be patient with me.
My Child school recommended a therapist with little experience.
His one session with him seamed to trigger a complete Autistic meltdown.
Police were involved and he ran away for over 7 hours.
part of his justification was the "therapist" congregated on figuring out he has gender dysphoria.
I don't see how a 16 Autistic boy or a nondoctor "Therapist" can tell him he has a medical condition.
Please point me to a forum that can help.
At least people I can talk to about this.

In this week, lecture is given by Asst. Prof. Dr. Bilge İmamoğlu on the history of the profession in Turkey
In the lecture, we started with the definition of profession, professional, and professionalism. We mentioned the issues that is related emerging process of 'profession'. Profession means 'meslek' in Turkish and it is a combination of skills and abilities that one person has in the nature of being able to benefit other people in order to produce a job. However, in society, it is confused that the meanings of profession and occupation. Occupation (iş) is that a person's principal job in life to earn money.
Later on, it is talked about the process of being professional. The process starts with the production and circulation of the knowledge specific to occupation within centralized educational institutions. He mentioned about the early educational institutions of the Ottoman Empire such as "Mühendishane-i Bahri-i Hümayün", "Mekteb-i Mülkiye"or "Darül Fünun". Then, he talked about the institutions coming with the republic such as "Güzel Sanatlar Akademisi", then "Mimar Sinan Üniversitesi". Through end of the lecture, it is mentioned the movements to professionalism in the field of architecture such as the "Arkitekt" magazine by Zeki Sayar.

This years Devizes Festival is set to be one of the best yet, with its strong theatre, comedy and talks announcement, but it's the Music that really get me going.
Here's a run down of this years festival…
Kicking off the big music bookings, on Friday 5th June, will be Exeter's THE COMPUTERS. Beautifully uniting out going chairman, Ian Hopkins's type of traditional blues and soul interests a la, the Long Street Blues Club. With Devizes resident contemporary and boundary pusher Kieran Moore. We have a band that will appeal across the genres and ages.
Famed for their utterly uninhibited live shows that evoke the flamboyance of Freddie Mercury, the traditional rock n roll of Eddie Cochran with pinches of punk rock and northern soul thrown in for good measure, I can confidently, say Devizes hasn't had a show quite like this since it's 60's and 70's hay day.
We have a cutting edge, exciting, in demand band in our biggest venue the town has to offer, with a industry standard PA and lighting array. To say I'm a little excited is an understatement! You'll be talking about this for years to come, I promise.
Keeping with the festivals theme of quality, broad appeal, international music, Monday 8th June see's American bluegrass band THE RAILSPLITTERS. Booked by Ian prior to his departure, this show has his stamp of approval all over it. Coming all the way form the Colorado Rocky mountains, the five piece perform upbeat, refreshing and charming range of bluegrass and beyond-bluegrass music.
And unlike previous years, we haven't crammed 3 or 4 similar acts into the Cellar Bar – you'll have plenty of space to dance about and enjoy the authentic roots music.
Attempting to appeal to as wide a range of audience as possible, we have on Wednesday 10th June, THE RUTS DC. The agro-punk band from the late 70's dropped the harsh and abrasive nature of their music when they added the DC, and now accentuate their reggae sound.
Famed for their anti-racism & equal rights political messages, they scored hit singles such as Babylon's Burning and In A Rut, achieving a staggering amount in their career, check their Wikipedia for a run down.
Finally the big Corn Exchange shows conclude on Friday 19th June, with a genuine Mexican El Marichi band, the aptly titled, MARIACHI EL MEXICANO. This band are the ones you have seen from TV. The Piri Piri and Flybe adverts? Big Brother or Strictly Come Dancing? Nevertheless, complete with oversized guitars, trumpets and a complete lack of understanding English, this is authentic as it gets. Pete Vaughn provides a Mexican meal, all included in the price! Impressive!
As opening gambits go, that's impressive enough but there's more to come.
Sunday 7th June, in the Merchants Suite there will be a Jazz tribute to Billy Holliday from Edana Minghella whilst The Wharf makes a welcome return to our list of venues, as The Other Half make their way there on Sunday 14th June. Who are A dark and glorious mix of song and story.
I haven't even covered the Classical music here, though there will be a separate blog dedicated to the Free Fringe in due course! PHEW! – SEE SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE!!
The Festival will be hosting a stall at the Lions Mayday celebration in Devizes Market place, where you can pick up the new style brochure, ask questions and hear music from all the performers. In the meantime, check out their website http://www.devizesfestival.co.uk/ – where a much more thorough preview of each act is being added to regularly!
& if you can manage to ignore Suggs…. here's the Mariachi band…

Random Bursts of Thoughts and Happenings – 2nd Edition
Part 2:
# I had been to Flower Show at Lalbagh – solely for the reason of photographing flowers. I am not sure if I am too happy with my photos, however here are they for your viewing pleasure. Why do "Macro" mode results in photos that look as though they are painted in water colour ?
# Went to PESIT college for Independence Day, attended flag hoisting and sang National Anthem. Now, how many of you did/can do that ? 🙂 DJ's speech was not very original, he just read out a speech by Narayana Murthy. Though it made me look for it on the net link, it was not in usual DJ's style. "I always look for what is in it for me" he said, "and if one person among this audience becomes like one of the visionaries mentioned in the inspiring speech, that is enough for me". Like any dreamy eyed teenager, some of us thought he was referring to us itself ( I still have to get the feeling that I am not a teenager any longer, sigh !) . The article deserves a read.
# There were lot of flowers in the garden and I regret not having carried the camera with me.
# Another best thing done on the Independence Day was to watch "Chak De". Some detailed thoughts will follow in next post.
# Also watched Checkmate play at RS on Independence Day. Some comments will follow after Chak De review.
# RBoTaH will continue after those posts

Maura Higgins Love Island 2019 beauty channels VERY different look 'I am so pale!' | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV
Maura Higgins is best known for her summer spent in little more than her bikini on Love Island 2019, where she started her romance with Curtis Pritchard. However, there is no swimwear in sight in the reality star's newest snaps, where she looks incredible in a variety of monochrome outfits. In an exclusive interview in this week's GRAZIA, the 28-year-old went for minimal make-up and classic attire, a long way from her vibrant swimwear in the Mallorcan villa. "I've never seen a photo of myself like that," she admitted, before going on to discuss her "biggest worry" after signing up for the programme and her relationship with the brother of Strictly Come Dancing professional AJ Pritchard.
Wearing her brunette tresses down in a natural wave, Maura's toned pins were impossible to miss in a pair of black shorts.
Posing with her arms across her slender curves, she teamed her bottoms with a loose-fitting white shirt.
A second offering saw the ring girl from County Longford, Ireland, in wide-legged, high-waisted trousers.
She also chose a tight black vest while her hair was tied back into a low ponytail, as she rested on her knees.
"I've always been misjudged, my whole life," Maura commented. "I think people look at my Instagram and think of me as a completely different person – because when I meet people out, they always say, 'You're so much nicer than I expected'."
It was being "so pale" that concerned her to most about signing up for Love Island 2019, after a cruel school taunt.
She continued: "My biggest worry going into Love Island was that I am so pale and I don't get a colour. My mammy was saying to me, 'Maura, honestly, you've got more to worry about than your bl**dy tan!'
"I was thinking everyone else was going to be so tanned, and I would be a ghost. My nickname at school was Casper."
Maura revealed: "I just like nice brown skin, you know? But looking back now, there's 101 pictures of me with no make-up on, and it doesn't faze me. I'm not bothered about it."
She went on to discuss Curtis and how they will play out outside of the villa, with them being so "busy".
She added: "I feel like if we both like each other enough we will make time for each other. I'm not a girl to be on edge all the time thinking, 'I wonder what he's doing?'
"I trust someone until they do me wrong, and if they do me wrong, that's it. There are no second chances with me. You're gone."
Meanwhile, it comes just hours after Maura shared a snap of the pair kissing in view of her 2.2 million followers.
She captioned it: "Not long till I'm back in your arms."
"Toooo cute," her co-star Amber Gill replied, while Curtis told her he couldn't wait for them to be reunited.
This week's GRAZIA is on sale now.
Love Island returns in January to ITV2.

Want to know why Tim Geithner is getting rolled by Sheila Bair?
The new Treasury Secretary is still at a huge disadvantage when dealing with his Washington DC rival in matters related to the finanical bailout. Bair, the FDIC boss, is one of the few financial regulators who has stayed in place through the change in administrations, which means she has her team in place and working to build the bad bank she plans to run. Geithner is still trying to assemble his team, which means he is distracted from poilicy matters and lacks crucial support.
The Wall Street Journal's Real Time Economics blog has an item on who Geithner is trying to recruit. It's a long list, which shows just how far away the Treasury is from having a fully operational staff.
Among those said to be under consideration for the key position of Treasury Undersecretary is Suzanne Nora Johnson, a former vice chairman at Goldman Sachs Inc. But Ms. Johnson, who headed Goldman's global investment research division, may not have an easy time being confirmed. Between her ties to Goldman and the fact that she sat on the board of American International Group, Inc. — which was taken over by the government this fall — Ms. Johnson could face an icy reception in Congress.
Others said to be in the running for the job are Annette Nazareth, a former Securities and Exchange Commissioner. Both she and her husband — Roger Ferguson, head of TIAA-CREF and a former Federal Reserve governor — know Mr. Geithner well.
Mr. Geithner is also said to be considering Caroline Atkinson as his undersecretary for international affairs — a critical post given the global economic turmoil. Ms. Atkinson knows the building at 1500 Pennsylvania well — she was an advisor to Treasury secretaries Robert Rubin and Lawrence Summers.
Peter Henry, an international economics professor at Stanford University, is said to be Mr. Geithner's pick for assistant secretary for international affairs.
Mr. Geithner is also expected to tap Al Fitzpayne, a former advisor to Rahm Emanuel, as his deputy chief of staff.

Vouchers status are not backed up with the configuration as is not the user login status.
#2 Updated by Klaus F almost 7 years ago
This is not true.
The voucher status is backed up with the configuration. At least in Version 2.0.2.
But the status is not restored from the backup.
I think this is a bug.
#3 Updated by Doktor Notor over 6 years ago
To sum this up, I posted about the mess at the forum: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,72418.0.html
Additionally, this causes an "invalid payload" error every time you reboot a box in a setup when you have slaves syncing vouchers from the master.
#4 Updated by Viktor Gurov about 2 months ago
- Status changed from New to Resolved
no such issue on 2.4.5 and 2.5
active vouchers status successfully restored

You are hereCommon Dreams: Reliably, Irredeemably Wrong: The US Chamber of Commerce
Common Dreams: Reliably, Irredeemably Wrong: The US Chamber of Commerce
March 22, 2011- What if I told you I'd found a political group that for a hundred years had managed to be absolutely right on every crucial political issue? A political lodestone, reliably pointing toward true policy north at every moment.
Sorry. But I have something almost as good: a group that manages to always get it wrong. The ultimate pie-in-the-face brigade, the gang that couldn't lobby straight.
From the outside, you'd think the US Chamber of Commerce must know what it's doing. It's got a huge building right next to the White House. It spends more money on political campaigning than the Republican and Democratic National Committees combined. It spends more money on lobbying that the next five biggest lobbyists combined. And yet it has an unbroken record of error stretching back almost to its founding.
Take the New Deal, which historians have long since credited as saving capitalism in the U.S. FDR was dealing with a nation ruined by Wall Street excess—a quarter of the country unemployed, Americans starving and hopeless. He gave his first fireside chat of 1935 on April 28, and outlined a legislative program that included Social Security. The next morning , a prominent official of the Chamber of Commerce accused Roosevelt of attempting to 'Sovietize' America; the chamber adopted a resolution "opposing the president's entire legislative package."
Fast forward to the next great challenge for America. FDR, having brought America through the Depression, was trying to deal with Hitler's rise. In the winter of 1941, with the British hard-pressed to hold off the Germans, FDR proposed what came to be called the Lend-Lease program, a way of supplying the allies with materiel they desperately needed.
Only 22% of Americans opposed the Lend Lease program—they could see who Hitler was—but that sorry number included the Chamber of Commerce. The lead story in the New York Times for February 6, 1941 began with the ringing statement from the Chamber's president James S . Kemper that "American business men oppose American involvement in any foreign war."
It's not just that this was unpatriotic; it was also plain stupid, since our eventual involvement in that "foreign war" triggered the greatest boom in America's economic history. But it's precisely the kind of blinkered short-sightedness that has led the US Chamber of Commerce astray over and over and over again. They spent the 1950s helping Joe McCarthy root out communists in the trade unions; in the 1960s they urged the Senate to "reject as unnecessary" the idea of Medicare; in the 1980s they campaigned against a "terrible 20" burdensome rules on business, including new licensing requirements for nuclear plants and "various mine safety rules."
As Brad Johnson, at the Center for American Progress, has detailed recently, the US Chamber has opposed virtually every attempt to rein in pollution, from stronger smog standards to a ban on the dumping of hazardous waste. (They're hard at work as well trying to relax restrictions on US corporations bribing foreign governments, not to mention opposing the Lily Leadbetter Fair Pay Act). If there's a modern equivalent of World War II, of course, it's the fight against global warming. Again a majority of Americans want firm action, because they understand the planet has never faced a bigger challenge—but that action's been completely blocked in Washington, and the US Chamber is a major reason why. They've lobbied against every effort to cut carbon, going so far as to insist that the EPA should stay out of the fight because, if the planet warmed, "populations can acclimatize via a range of range of behavioral, physiological, and technological adaptations." That is to say, don't ask a handful of coal companies to adapt their business plans, ask all species everywhere to adapt their physiologies. Grow gills, I guess.

Another post-punk Marvel mash-up has been long overdue – since 2013, in fact, when Brazilian artist Butcher Billy did it last. This time he offers us Ian Curtis as Spiderman, Big Bob Smith as Nightcrawler, Siouxsie as Scarlet and The Moz as The Hulk. There's also The Numanoid as a superhero I don't recognise – I'm really not as hot on Marvel as I am post-punk!
Hopefully in 2017 the next lot will include Robed in Desire, who I'm told are also post-punk icons….

Everyone seems to be interested in learning how Instagram can help expand their business. With so many people using the platform, it is natural to think that you should be tapping into that resource to find new buyers for your products and services. It seems easy, but you cannot win fast followers for Instagram unless you know what "Instagram algorithm" likes. Many people say that they were doing just fine on Instagram, but suddenly they stopped receiving the same feedback. If your posts have stopped working, the Instagram algorithm may have something to do with it.
Here are some useful tips of Instagram:-8 Creative Ways To Earn Money On Instagram
Importance of Hashtags to Grow Online Businesses on Instagram
Top 10 Social Media Strategies for Beginners
By learning about the latest algorithmic changes, you can plan your campaigns accordingly. It does not enough create a post and hope that it will reach new customers. That is not how things work in the real world, at least not after the latest Instagram algorithmic changes. If you do not want your efforts to go down the drain, here is how to proceed.
Learn To Create And Share Engaging Posts:-
Instagram has introduced new features after the Instagram algorithm change. Many of these changes leave a big impact on the order of appearance of posts in your newsfeed.
The posts with more comments and DMs and with a greater number of views and shares are marked as the more engaged ones and are ranked higher on Instagram. These posts are the posts with quality photos and engaging content. Similarly, the videos with more viewers and comments are considered as the most engaging ones.
You have to consider the algorithmic changes and take steps to create engaging posts. Here is what you may want to do:
Post Instagram stories daily to increase the engagement of your followers and viewers on your profile. The Instagram story is the most popular feature of Instagram and is used by approx. 300 million users daily. This feature will continue to dominate the social media in the upcoming year too so make the most of it boost your profile on the Instagram algorithm.
The Instagram algorithm also count all the likes, views and replies on your Instagram stories along with the engagement on your Instagram posts while deciding the order of your posts on the newsfeed of your followers.
Instagram also takes into account the closeness and personal interaction of the users. The followers who like your post often and comment regularly are more likely to see your posts on top of their newsfeed.
One great tactic of increasing the probability of your post to appear more often in the newsfeed of your viewers is to contact them via inbox and develop a more personalized relationship. You can also direct users on your post to DM you for more details of the product.
Interaction With Followers:-
Instagram algorithm values you when you value your audience. Along with the engagements of users on your posts, Instagram also looks into your interaction with your follower too. Therefore, you have to be very careful when trying to win followers. Also, read more about how to gain instagram followers.
Make sure to reply commenters on your post as soon as possible. Respect their opinions and show some love for their contributions. You can also reply to them with an emoji too.
Make sure to interact with your followers soon after posting especially the first hour after you post the most crucial one. If you miss this hour the order of appearance of your post in the follower`s newsfeed will be affected badly.
To keep track of comments on all your Instagram posts, you can also take benefit from Later`s new conversation feature. Later will notify you whenever someone comments on your Instagram post no matter how old that post is. You have to simply tap the comment and reply then and there from Later.
Later gives you the freedom of replying from your desktop and tab too without using your phone. This will increase your availability on your profile. It also shows the history of your engagement with the particular commenter on just a single tap which enables you to reply with more relevance and caution.
Interaction with your followers shows them your concern about your product and your respect for them along with boosting your ranking on the Instagram algorithm. So, keep these pointers in mind to make Instagram Marketing work in your favor.

A trade war on and off the chart may just be beginning in Acacia Communications (NASDAQ:ACIA). But following a scud-like bombshell, bear put spread traders have the strategic advantage in Acacia stock moving forward. Let me explain.
Shares of optical device and cloud communications provider Acacia Communications imploded Monday on the heels of a surprise ban by U.S. authorities to ZTE Corp. The announced move strikes disastrous consequences for ACIA shares which tumbled 36% to finish at a new all-time closing low.
According to Reuters, the Chinese telecom equipment manufacturer failed to comply with an agreement laid out in a U.S. sanctions violation case involving illegal sales to Iran. In retaliation, the U.S. Department of commerce stated American companies will not be allowed to sell their products to ZTE for seven years. So how does that affect Acacia stock?
Monday's punishing reaction from Wall Street is due to Acacia's unusually heavy dependence on ZTE Corp. With a very concentrated 30% of its revenues tied to the manufacturer, what has been a tough couple years for the recent and short-lived IPO darling has just gotten a good deal worse.
Adding salt to ACIA's current wounds, with the U.S. and Chinese governments moving towards a full-blown trade war, another blow to Acacia stock could be forthcoming, with China responsible for about 40% of the company's revenues the past couple years.
Bottom line, top line and even when looking at the linear battle line drawn on the ACIA stock price chart, investors have better reasons to retreat than defend shares off and on the price chart.
Acacia Stock Weekly Chart
Monday's scud-like bomb courtesy of ZTE has put Acacia stock into a quick testing position of its all-time-low formed as shares debuted in 2016. Technically the price action sets up a potential double-bottom. But if it wasn't made clear above, it's a battle line this strategist expects will break to the downside and not a spot for bulls to defend ACIA.
Acacia Stock Long Bear Put Spread
Reviewing the ACIA options board and given what's been addressed on and off the price chart, the May $25/$22.50 bear put spread is a favored combination which allows for reduced and limited-risk positioning.
With Acacia stock at $25.62, the near-the-money bearish vertical is priced for $1.10. The cost limits a trader's exposure to roughly 4% of the risk associated with shorting shares. As well, compared to simply buying the $25 strike put, the cost is cut by more than 50%. And if shares fall below $22.50, there's $1.40 in profit to be captured at expiration.
Nice, right?
The one downside to this spread, if there is downside to be had in Acacia stock, is the vertical won't profit as quickly as an outright put purchase would. However, given the high premiums and the May contract only a month out from expiration; this bearish spread combination is more than a reasonable compromise on a risk-adjusted basis in our view.

Can we listen and learn from our children? Yes, we must! Just listen to the wisdom of Swedish climate activist, Greta Thunberg, age 15 years, who has sparked a worldwide children's campaign to protect our climate. Last year she became so depressed witnessing the lethargy of adults' inaction to protect our climate that she left school and spent 3 weeks protesting outside of the Swedish Parliament to spur politicians' action. Soon after she began taking Fridays off from school to continue her protest. Greta has spotlighted what she deems the greatest worldwide crisis facing us today. A crisis which severely impacts children's future.
When invited to speak to the elite 2019 World Economic Forum in Davos Switzerland, Greta scolded,
"We are at a time in history where everyone with any insight of the climate crisis that threatens our civilisation – and the entire biosphere – must speak out in clear language, no matter how uncomfortable and unprofitable that may be.
We must change almost everything in our current societies. The bigger your carbon footprint, the bigger your moral duty.
The bigger your platform, the bigger your responsibility. . . .
I don't want you to be hopeful. I want you to panic. I want you to feel the fear I feel every day. And then I want you to act."
News of Greta's Protest Has Gone Viral
Numerous other children in dozens of countries across the world have joined climate change protests with the support of their parents. At a UK protest, a nine-year-old girl exclaimed,
"Scientists across Europe say we have 12 years to get this right. The technology is there. The solutions are there. Brilliant minds across the world have been working on this for decades. And what they have said has been ignored."
A 15-year-old girl proclaimed,
"As students we don't have the vote, and it is really unfair because this is going to impact on us the most. It is our future."
We must listen to the wise words of our children and take action to protect their future starting now, before our planet is irreversibly damaged. Climate change is accepted science. The Future of Children: Children and Climate Change, published by Princeton University and the Brookings Institution, projects that extremes in temperature, rising sea levels and extreme weather patterns already threaten children's physical and mental health and will continue to do so for future generations.
What Can We Do?
We noted in a previous KIPS blog, "Climate change is a slowly advancing juggernaut and we are doing little to slow or stop it. . . . I hope that parental love might play an even stronger roll, moving us to take actions to prevent or at least reduce this fast-approaching fate" -- the destructive changes in climate that affect the health of our families, communities and global environment.
Enjoy Nature. To combat climate change we can teach our infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, as well as our older children, to love Nature so they learn early to enjoy and take care of their environment. The easiest way to begin is for parents and children to spend time in Nature -- take walks, go to the park, collect leaves, splash in puddles, and play together outdoors so children learn to explore, appreciate and take care of the birds, bees, trees and all the wonders of Nature. Simply go outside and follow your child's lead exploring the flowers, the wind and the worms. Open to the Child's Agenda is one of the 12 research-based parenting behaviors on the KIPS parenting assessment shown to improve children's development. This applies to all parent-child interactions, whether indoors or outdoors. Families can also set up opportunities to explore Nature by doing activities such as planting trees, making bird feeders or creating seed balls with children.
Read Nature Books. For indoor activities on those extreme weather days, reading children's books together that highlight our natural surroundings offers the opportunity for conversations about our environment full of plants and animals, oceans, creeks and deserts. Here are two recent books to inspire parents and children to talk about love and care for their environment. The first, Honeysuckle Hugs, is a magical book for all ages that takes you on a whimsical journey through Nature. This printed book is a delightful blend of art and poetry that guides parents and children to respect and explore the sensations of plant life and the calming influences of Nature. The second, Is This My Home, is a narrated digital book which discovers the world through the eyes of a child. It's free online and displays colorful illustrations of animals and plants encountered in different climates across the world.
Take Action to Combat Climate Change. The next steps are aimed at slowing climate change and may require changes in family or community habits. These are aimed at reducing your carbon footprint related to global rise in temperatures, extreme weather patterns, melting of glaciers, and rise in sea levels. These steps can be tailored to your own preferences and resources. If you travel a lot, try using these green travel tips.
Here are a few examples of small, but powerful actions to counteract climate change.
- Eat more vegetables, less meat. The portion of global greenhouse gas emissions from animal agriculture is estimated at 15%-51%. We can reduce those emissions by eating more vegetables.
- Buy locally produced food and materials whenever possible. This reduces the transportation carbon emissions. As an added benefit, if you can grow some of your own vegetables in pots, in your yard, or in a community garden, your children get to watch how their beans, peas and lettuce grow and be more likely to eat them. If you have access to a local farmers market, look for farmers who use less pesticides that destroy the environment along with the bugs.
- Manage your heating and cooling. We need to control the temperatures of our homes, daycares, and schools to avoid extreme temperature shifts and protect our health. However, excessive heating and cooling of these places can waste fuel. Instead, encourage moderate temperatures and put on an extra layer of clothes or take off the sweater as needed.
- Walk, bicycle, carpool, or use public transportation. Fewer gas-powered vehicles on the road mean less fossil fuel needed and more investment in public intrastructure. As an added benefit, walking and bicycling are great exercise for your bodies.
- Reuse and recycle plastics, paper and glass. Recycling has become more popular and more accessible in many communities in recent years. Furthermore, it takes even less energy if you clean and reuse materials to cut back on the volume of materials to be recycled.
- Most important of all! Use your voice and your vote to support your children's future. Individuals alone can make only a small impact. We need policy change at the local, state and federal levels to address climate change. Join the student protesters to urge community leaders, businesses, and politicians to take actions to protect the environment, limit pollutants, cut back on fossil fuels and carbon emissions, and move to sustainable energy sources. Join parent organizations like Mothers Out Front, Climate Dads or Moms Clean Air Force to combine your voice with others to be heard by policy makers.
Take Action! Follow Greta's Wise Words
Make everyday Earth Day! Step beyond hope and take action. If we all commit to change our own habits and press businesses and our governments to take responsibility for improving the climate that impacts our public health and environment, we will be able to take pride in the future we've created for our children and grandchildren.

Furi arrives on Switch this week and is tough yet enjoyable fun for action game lovers. It's also notable for being a pretty amazing conversion job, with the Switch edition looking incredibly close to the PS4 version, as you can see from the footage above.
With titles like RiME leaving us a little concerned with how future ports to Switch might turn out, it's encouraging to see a third-party developer produce such a remarkable conversion, and bodes well for future cross-platform releases.
Let us know if you'll be investing in Furi by posting a comment below.

Courteous, Fast, and Exactly On Price
My first call to Lethbridge Elite Roofing was back in the summer of 2017. I was concerned about the condition of my roof, as I could see shingles missing from my neighbor's garage and figured mine couldn't be much better. Fortunately my roof wasn't so dire, but Ruben gave me an approximate timeline of 12 months after showing me pictures, but explained that he could offer a competitive quote if completed repairs before March of 2018 (roughly 9-10 months).
We decided to use them for the repairs and take them up on their quote, and we're glad we did. Ruben's team was in and out very fast, and even with a weather delay they still rocked the removal of the old roof to get the dumpster moved in a timely fashion so I could continue using my garage while they finished their installation. Ruben and his team cleaned up their tools nightly, and were very courteous while working on our home. After the snow had melted, they even came back to magnet our lawn for stray nails (I never saw a single one), as well as blow away any asphalt from the old shingles after their repair. Ruben also included pictures of my under-roof material to show me that it all looked to be in good condition, and not in need of extra repairs, which was great for peace of mind. Our invoice came in EXACTLY what we were expecting, no hidden costs and no surprises.
Overall, the process was VERY quick and easy and I would not hesitate to recommend their services to friends or family. If you think you may need a roof in the next 1-3 years (or you'd really like to see Ruben's ADORABLE Frenchie he takes with him on quotes) then you should call Lethbridge Elite Roofing. You won't be disappointed.

Thank you for recommending us, twice! it was entirely our pleasure :)

Art practice is spiritual activism.
I like to highlight the role of creativity in the health and wellbeing of an individual and functioning societies.
Calligraphic Symbolism is a group of automatic drawings, source for further Folk design Studies.
The forecasts on the future of writing as again a competence of a small elite makes me wonder what would happen to our creativity, when writing, drawing and threading is widely suspended? What will happen if we stop using symbolic language. Will this source or symbolic storage space of the psyche dissapear? What are we evolving towards? Are our instincts going to be supressed? Is the lack of tools for communication and spaces for texteelity going to degenerate in less sensitive human individuals? There is already a Unicode for computer programming but is that language enough for human communication? What will happen to our experience of space? Are we loosing our "vestibular" textile sensibility by using less analogue threading methods for communication? Is touch technology limiting our social capacities? Communication through screens is hard, cold, empty; it doesn't include a holistic experience of the body and its environment. Will we forget or will we long for touch?

Net Metering Method
Net metering is a billing mechanism that credits solar energy system owners for the electricity they add to the grid. For example, if a residential customer has a PV system on the home's rooftop, it may generate more electricity than the home uses during daylight hours.
It allows residential and commercial customers who generate their own electricity from solar power to feed electricity they do not use back into the grid.
It makes residential solar energy system ownership even more attractive and affordable for many families.
It can save homeowners hundreds more dollars per year on their utility bills, and it makes the process of accounting for the energy fl owing to and from the utility simpler and easier to administer.
The benefits come mostly from generating electricity near the point of use, which in turn reduces strain on the grid's distribution infrastructure and minimizes energy loss from sending voltage over long distances.
Net Accounting
If the generated units of electricity using the solar panels fixed on houses/premises are greater than the amount consumed, the customer will be paid Rs.22.00 per unit during the first 07 years and from the 8th year onwards he will be paid Rs.15.50 per unit by the Electricity Board.
If the consumption is greater than the generated units, the consumer has to pay at the existing electricity tariff for the excess electricity consumed.
Net Plus
This involves getting paid for the amount of electricity generated using the solar panels fi xed on the premises.
Unlike the net metering method there is no linkage in-between the electricity consumption of the customer and the electricity generation.
The customer has to pay for the electricity consumed according to the existing tariff whilst the Electricity Board will pay for the total amount of electricity the customer generates.

The UK's Supreme Court has unanimously ruled that the current system of employment tribunal fees is unlawful and discriminatory.
Employment Tribunal Fees
The fees were introduced by the UK Government in July 2013 and have been the subject of a legal challenge by trade union UNISON since October of that year.
The fees charged for bringing an employment tribunal claim vary depending on the type of case. They started at around £160 for a type A claim (for example wage claims, breach of contract), and £250 for a type B claim (unfair dismissal, race and sex discrimination). There was also a further hearing fee of £230 for Type A and £950 for Type B claims. There was an additional £400 lodging and £1,200 hearing fee for cases progressing to the employment appeal tribunal.
Full or partial remission of fees was possible, depending on a number of factors including how much disposable capital the claimant and their partner have, their monthly income and how many children they have.
The Government had given a variety of reasons why the introduction of fees was necessary, including that they would transfer part of the cost burden of the tribunals from taxpayers to users of their services, deter unmeritorious claims and encourage earlier settlement.
However, UNISON argued that the fee system was not a lawful exercise of the Lord Chancellor's statutory powers, because the prescribed fees interfere unjustifiably with the right of access to justice under both the common law and EU law, frustrate the operation of Parliamentary legislation granting employment rights, and discriminate unlawfully against women and other protected groups.
Unlawful and Discriminatory
The case progressed through the courts and eventually reached the Supreme Court, where judges have unanimously allowed the appeal.
They found that the Government's Fees Order is unlawful under both domestic and EU law because it has the effect of preventing access to justice. Since it had that effect as soon as it was made, it was therefore unlawful and must be quashed.
They also ruled that the Order is indirectly discriminatory under the Equality Act 2010 because the higher fees for type B claims put women at a particular disadvantage, because a higher proportion of women bring type B claims than type A.
The judges said that charging higher fees for type B claims was not a proportionate means of achieving the stated aims of the Fees Order. It had not been shown to be more effective at transferring the cost of the service from taxpayers to users, and in some type B cases (such as pregnancy dismissal) the higher fee did not correspond to a greater workload placed on the tribunal.
In addition, meritorious as well as unmeritorious claims might be deterred by the higher price, and there was no correlation between the higher fee and the merits of the case or incentives to settle.
Response to the Verdict
Commenting on the decision, David Isaac, Chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission said:
"The right to justice must be based on the merit of your case not your ability to pay. Thousands may have been denied of this right and priced out of getting justice. The judgment of the Supreme Court is a damning verdict on the current regime. It is a licence to discriminate for employers and must be scrapped. The law only works if people know that it is a fair and just system and the biggest and strongest will not always win."

hi, I have made some customizations to my 1980 kz750. a 4-1 exhaust that was rusty when I got it, now I used some areosol bbq high heat paint that dried within minutes of starting the engine and heating the exhaust.
here we have a set of 2 gm hei modules that are mounted on heatsink plates back to back with the timing cover that was partially filled in with jbweld, painted and heat dried in a toaster oven.
I also used aluminum polish on the aircooled engine parts to protect them from getting dirty which would cause the engine to get too hot.

2013 Chevrolet Impala caught testing
Filed under: Spy Photos, Sedan, Chevrolet, GM
After languishing in mediocrity for far too long, the 2013 Chevrolet Impala can't come soon enough, and our shooters managed to snag a camouflaged prototype - both inside and out - for the first time.
Based on the long-wheelbase version of the Epsilon 2 platform, the reimagined Impala is set to be powered by a choice of either GM's 3.6-liter V6 or its recently revealed 270-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder. An eAssist version is also likely to be offered soon after its debut.
Inside, we get a glimpse of a reworked interior that's more plush than the current model, complete with leather dash and trim, tasteful aluminum accents and a sizable nav screen front-and-center.
The exterior is harder to gauge, but the ride height is noticeably lower, the roof and windshield more raked and the front fascia has taken on a pointed, Camaro-esque shape. We should know more in the coming months before Chevy takes the wraps off in the first half of the year.2013 Chevrolet Impala caught testing originally appeared on Autoblog on Wed, 14 Dec 2011 19:28:00 EST.
