DescriptionBlue Gudgeon Dartfish (Ptereleotris heteroptera)
Quick Care Facts
Care Level: Easy
Temperament: Peaceful
Maximum Size: 5"
Minimum Tank Size: 30 gallons
Water Conditions: 72-80° F, dKH 8-12, pH 8.1-8.4, sg 1.020-1.025
Diet: Carnivore
Origin: Indo-Pacific
Family: Ptereleotridae
Species: Dartfish
Aquarium Type: Reef Compatible
Species Information
Blue Gudgeon Dartfish are an attractive and slender species endemic to tropical reefs throughout the Indo-Pacific. Blue Gudgeon Dartfish generally have an aquamarine to gray-blue base coloration with a black, horizontal blotch at the end of the caudal fin; there are usually yellow-hued areas just above and below the caudal blotch. Blue Gudgeon Dartfish are extremely peaceful and are known to be rather shy at times, although they are a social species that prefers to live in small groups. Blue Gudgeon Dartfish often dart around in the water column while searching for plankton, but they also like to spend their time weaving in and out of rockwork. Blue Gudgeon Dartfish are an active species that make excellent reef inhabitants and they are a great choice for hobbyists of any experience level. Blue Gudgeon Dartfish were once considered to be rare within the hobby, but have since become a lot more popular and more readily available.
Aquarium Care
Blue Gudgeon Dartfish require an aquarium of at least 30 gallons and should be provided with a sand to crushed coral substrate, open swimming space, and and plenty of live rock for play and shelter. They will sometimes jump if started and their aquarium should be equipped with a sealed hood or tight fitting top. They should be housed in an established system, utilizing quality biological and mechanical filtration as well as a protein skimmer. They would benefit from a colonized refugium where they could have a constant supply of fresh amphipods and copepods in addition to other live zooplankton treats. Blue Gudgeon Dartfish are a very peaceful and active species that can be observed swimming at the mid to bottom levels of the aquarium as they dart around looking for planktonic snacks within the water column; they also enjoy hovering above substrate and weaving through rockwork while continuing their quest for zooplankton.
They prefer to be in groups of 2-4 (conspecifics should be added at the same time) and will generally stay close to each other and swim together. A variety of heterospecific tank mates are suitable, but they should be similarly peaceful and must not be a species that will harass or bully the Blue Gudgeon Dartfish. They are completely reef compatible and make an excellent choice for a "nano" system as well as a much larger reef setup.
Feeding & Nutrition
Blue Gudgeon Dartfish are carnivores, which in the wild, can be found darting through the water column and among the reefs in search of planktonic food items (i.e.; amphipods, copepods, larvae, and other zooplankton). In the aquarium they should be supplied with a variety of live, frozen, or freeze-dried, vitamin enriched brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, ghost shrimp, bloodworms, chopped krill, chopped crab meat, and other meaty food items. They will also accept quality flake and pellet foods for carnivores, omnivores, and herbivores. Ideally they should be feed twice a day an amount of food that they will consume within a few minutes.

text: Challenger Brands These 3 Challenger Brands Have a Bigger Purpose Than Just Profits and Growth Values and business can mixBy Ann-Marie Alcántara|February 22, 2019It's not always a balancing act to align a purpose with a brand. Sean T. Smith for AdweekShare By Ann-Marie Alcántara|February 22, 2019Share In today's advertising and marketing landscape, there's no shortage of brands taking a stand for something bigger than the bottom line. For some, like Patagonia or Nike, those messages become iconic cultural moments. For others, like upstarts Bombas, Naadam and Encantos, they serve as a different way to connect with consumers.At the Brandweek: Challenger Brands event in New York, these three companies spoke about the values the brand embodies and why it's still so important to remind each of their customers what they stand for.Part of the brand's mission means never forgetting to tell the origin storyBombas, a sock company, originally started out with a mission to help an underserved community. The co-founders realized that homeless shelters are in need of socks—since according to Randy Goldberg, co-founder and chief brand officer of Bombas, they can't accept used socks because of hygiene issues. So, in Bombas' quest to remedy that need for homeless shelters, they set out to create a new sock with a model like Toms Shoes: buy a pair, donate a pair."We got a little bit obsessed with socks," Goldberg said. "We realized there was a lot of white space and a lot of features and a lot of ways that you could bring comfort to something that was an afterthought in the marketplace. It was an afterthought for donation, and it just seemed like the perfect marriage." Five years later, Bombas has donated 15 million pairs of socks. While the number is definitely great for the company, part of Goldberg's job as chief brand officer is to make sure consumers are still understanding what the company stands for. Part of that entails collaborating with the in-house creative team to come up with the right messaging and experiment with it."When we went to market, we were focused on two things: the mission and the product," Goldberg said. "These are always the two pillars of our company. We struggle with always with what we tell first—the mission or the product. We just did a lot of testing. If something didn't work, it got pulled and then a new line or a new visual or a new cut of a video." "We struggle with always with what we tell first—the mission or the product. We just did a lot of testing. If something didn't work, it got pulled and then a new line or a new visual or a new cut of a video." -Randy Goldberg, co-founder and chief brand officer, Bombas Down the pipeline, Bombas will continue expanding into more socks, as well a new category: T-shirts, with the same philosophy of donating one for one. The company also plans on expanding internationally and looking into wholesale and retail. If consumers feel part of the brand and the mission, it's a win-winNaadam, a direct to consumer cashmere company, first started out internationally in Mongolia. Co-founder and CEO Matt Scanlan quit his job, tried to find himself in the middle of the Gobi desert and ended up on the other side of that experience with a business and non-profit mission. Naadam's core business value is sourcing the cashmere material directly from Mongolian growers to better assess how well it's growing and what can be changed. "[W]e realized in the process of purchasing the material [that] the most value we could create was owning the end-to end supply chain," Scanlan said. "The way we think about the business we built is we don't want to own machinery and manufacturing."The proof that it's working? Naadam sold 100,000 $75 cashmere sweaters three months after the product debuted, said Scanlan. "For us, it really typified our brand value, which is affordability, sustainability and really high quality," Scanlan said. "And if you can make sustainability—and I don't love that word, I'm really not married to it—but if you can make it accessible, you can equalize it. You can offer it to everybody. You can make it something that everyone feels like they should be a part of." "If you can make [your product] accessible, you can equalize it. You can offer it to everybody. You can make it something that everyone feels like they should be a part of." -Matt Scanlan, co-founder and CEO, Naadam Naadam is planning on opening up more retail shops, as well as a new category—the Naadam ultra thin-ribbed cashmere.The company also has a non-profit arm that supports people in Mongolia via projects like building a soccer field for kids and fencing off grasslands to avoid desertification. Because the community is highly dependent on goats for its means of income, the non-profit also supports the goats by providing veterinary care. To date, Scanlan said, the organization has given vaccinations to more than a million animals in the country. "It's always been our first and primary role to support these communities," Scanlan said. "I don't assume to know everything or do everything or assume to know more from the people who have lived on this land for thousands of years. But every year, we're going back and putting back hundred of thousands of dollars back into the communities. We think it's the way to do non-profit work. A symbiotic approach so that they benefit, we benefit [and] we can grow and give more back."Diversity isn't that complicated of a brand mission Despite the ongoing conversations around companies trying to become more inclusive and diverse, it's not always a top priority. But for Encantos Media Studios, a children's media company, it is—not only because the company focuses on a multilingual market, but because it's just not that hard. "When you have authentic creators who know what they're doing with multicultural, who know how to build world-class brands, you can really transcend that barrier and appeal to everybody." -Susie Jaramillo, co-founder and CCO, Encantos Media Studios "I come from advertising, and over and over again, I heard the same thing, which is: 'We don't want to alienate our general market.' … I preach as loud as I can—multi-cultural done well does not alienate everybody. It has universal appeal," said Susie Jaramillo, co-founder and CCO at Encantos Media Studios. "When you have authentic creators who know what they're doing with multicultural, who know how to build world-class brands, you really can transcend that barrier and appeal to everybody." That mindset is particularly important for Encantos, which is attempting to reach both the "fragmented" hispanic community that's made up of a diverse set of customs, cultures, and countries and non-Hispanics who are watching the program for a completely different set of reasons. "We hold ourselves to the bar of what's really good, and we put out content that we think is authentic and that does a little bit more. It goes the extra mile," Jaramillo said. "The idea is to pivot a little bit more so that our audiences are getting extra value for what we're putting in front of them today."

Three storefronts along two shopping centers on Sunset Boulevard in Lexington have been shuttered as changes take place inside.
In the Publix-anchored Lexington Place shopping center at Sunset Boulevard and Old Cherokee Road, two adjacent businesses have closed. Hot 4 Wings/Filippino Flair has permanently closed and the location is listed for sale, according to a sign on the door. Next door, one of Lexington's two GameStop locations closed as well. A nail salon is slated to fill that space. In addition to Publix, the shopping center is home to TJ Maxx and Rack Room Shoes.
The second GameStop — located in the East Towne Centre strip in front of Walmart Supercenter on Sunset — will remain open. Also in that center, Dollar Tree has taken over the space recently vacated by Shoe Dept. and is expanding to nearly double its size. East Towne Center is also home to Buffalo Wild Wings, CATO and Miyabi Jr.

When working to build support for the Continental Divide Wilderness and Recreation Act (CDWR Act - an effort to protect about 60,000 acres of the White River National Forest in Eagle and Summit Counties), I'm often asked, "Why do this, what's wrong?" I answer, "Nothing, nothing is wrong," and that's the point. The lands contained within this bill are home to unique wildlife habitat, contain valuable water sources, and are important to the outdoor recreation economy. I often compare the campaign to taking care of one's health: it's best to be proactive, and not wait for illness to strike. The same applies to these areas: let's not wait until a logging project, for example, is proposed before we mobilize to protect these landscapes. Overall, the CDWR Act is about ensuring that we keep select areas free of the impacts of human development so that others can share in the multitude of benefits offered by Nature's beauty.
Since its inception about 9 years ago, the CDWR Act has evolved in a dynamic, community-driven process. The boundaries for the units were crafted through many hours of deliberations, taking into account a variety of interests, including wilderness preservation, mountain biking, fire mitigation, and protection of water resources and wildlife habitat. All of this has been taking place as the Colorado front range population grows and grows, relentlessly increasing demand on our mountain resources.
My job involves visiting businesses - hundreds of them - explaining the CDWR Act and seeking support for it. I also organize hikes into the proposed landscapes, and plan a variety of events to increase awareness and continue building support. Along the way I meet people with a broad range of opinions on land conservation, and they are usually impressed once they understand the collaborative compromises that have gone into creation of the Act.
Finally, another unique land designation - one of my personal favorites - is slated for Camp Hale; Senator Michael Bennet wants to make it our nation's first National Historic Landscape. Although not finalized yet, this designation will protect all existing uses while honoring and protecting the lands that birthed the modern ski industry, and served as a training ground for the 10th Mountain Division in World War II.
I'm sure you're wondering what's next. The bill remains in committee, and it is not clear at present when it will be sent up for a vote. I'm often asked, "How do you expect to get this bill passed through an anti-conservation-majority-Congress and a Trump White House?" The answer is through widespread community support. This is a win-win proposal, and we must highlight this fact in order to gain bipartisan support.
You can help me in my efforts at grassroots outreach, education, and organization. The most urgent need is securing additional business support, and identifying business owners and employees willing to advocate for this effort. We need folks willing to write letters to the editor, place phone calls to decisions makers, and periodically meet with elected officials. If you're able to help with any of this, please contact me (firstname.lastname@example.com).
When I'm weary of making phone calls or knocking on doors, I'm reminded of something that Margaret Mead said: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." I hope you'll join me in this effort. To learn more please visit www.continentaldivide.org.
ABOUT JOSH KUHN: When I made my first trip into the wilderness 25 years ago, it didn't seem like a great fit for the awkward, pudgy kid I was then. My first experience in a Wilderness Area occurred at summer camp, where I was encouraged to sign up for a multi-night canoe trip into Minnesota's Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. I had watched the cool older kids head off on their trips, and I wanted to be like them, but I had no idea how difficult a portage is, how monotonous a paddle across a lake can be, or how many mosquito bites I'd receive. When the trip ended, I wasn't chomping at the bit to sign up for another trip.
However, as summer turned to fall, I began to appreciate the experience. For example, when playing soccer I knew I could push myself a bit further, or when working on a math problem I had a bit more confidence to stick with it and see it through. The following summer I signed up for multiple trips, and although I didn't know it at the time, I was igniting a passion that would help define my life.
Twenty-five years later, I'm the Wilderness and Public Lands Organizer for Conservation Colorado. I wouldn't be the person I am today without wilderness. For me, being in nature is the only time I'm not distracted by some other aspect of life. It gives me an opportunity to be with my thoughts and challenge myself both physically and mentally. When I need motivation to make another hour of phone calls or visit another block of businesses, I think about the fact that I'm working to protect something that will have lasting effects for generations to come.
Last summer, my wife and I gave birth to our first child. This has added another layer of meaning and motivation to my work, because those "future generations" now have a face and a name. We've already had our first successful family camping trip, and I feel confident as Jack grows so will his appreciation of the natural world. After the political landscape shifted last November the future of the CDWR Act became a bit more murky. Passing this piece of legislation will be more challenging, but as I think back to the challenges of my first camping trip and then about my son's future, I know that we can't give up fighting for the protection of the Continental Divide landscape in Eagle and Summit Counties. I encourage you to join us for an FENW-sponsored trail project on Aug 11th, and please don't hesitate to contact me to learn more about how you can help support this effort (firstname.lastname@example.com).

Chevrolet Cruze Fleming, GA
4 Things People Love about the New Chevrolet Cruze Sold at a Dealer Near Fleming, GA

Minature colour TV from Ellesmere, Shropshire to Rugby/west midlands or RWB
Good afternoon,
Could some kind soul travelling in the Shropshire area pick up a small miniature colour television from Ellesmere, Shropshire and be able to get it to either Rugby, Warwickshire or West Midlands or to RWB next month. I am happy to pay any expenses incurred. There is no time limit for its delivery though a 200 mile round trip to Shropshire to pick it up is a little excessive!!
Many thanks in advance,
Christopher Capener

This article brought to you by CCGcastle.com The best place to get your Pokémon singles!
I Got the Ghaz'
Hey 60Cards readers, what have you been testing for London? Is it the best deck in format? Is it busted? Is it broken? Busted… Broken… Broken? Busted?… If those words sound familiar, you most likely have come across a Seena Ghaziaskar private message! Now before I get started with this article, I want to explain why this article is relevant and how this article has the possibility to seriously change the outcome of London Internationals. It all starts with a fantastic deck builder and player, Seena Ghaziaskar, messaging many top players spreading a secret deck that is pure gas. Secret decks have always been part of the game since the beginning of competitive play, but it is rare for them to have such a unified checkmark from some of the best players in the game. This article will go through the story of Ghaziaskar at Internationals, discuss the state of secret decks in the game, and go through the actual secret deck for the tournament. Before we get too far along in this game-breaking story, let's show some credibility to Ghaziaskar.
Table of contents
Seena Ghaziaskar
Age: 28
Hometown: Columbus, OH
Years Active: 2001-2009, 2017
Notable Accomplishments:
1st Place US Nationals 2005
Top 4 Place US Nationals 2006
Top 16 Place US Nationals 2009
1st Place Origins Special Event 2017
1st Place Regional Championships 2005
1st Place Regional Championships 2006
Top 8 Place Regional Championships 2017
As you are reading, your jaw may have dropped while wondering how a player could have so many strong accomplishments in the game over a long period of time. Well, you would be correct to think that Ghaziaskar is one of the greatest players to have ever played this game. You may also want to know that he is currently banned for an indefinite amount of time. That being said, I do know what happened and I would like to share his story with you. Whether you believe Ghaziaskar has been properly punished with his ban or that you think he should be allowed to play Pokemon at some point in the future, he has built the deck that most top players are considering for London.
The Story
This story is based on what I have observed in person, from what Ghaziaskar has told me, and from other credible sources who have explained this story. This story does not represent my beliefs as a player nor does it represent the beliefs of 60Cards. This portion of the article is merely a representation of Ghaziaskar's story for those who have yet to hear it or for those who have forgotten about it over time.
As Ghaziaskar was happily sitting at table one during the 2017 North American International Championships, you can tell that he has achieved something dear to him. He had just obtained his invite to play in the 2017 World Championships. Now, to a player of Ghaziaskar's caliber, a World Championship invite normally wouldn't mean much, but it is notable to add that he has taken many years off from playing competitively. No matter if he wins out, ties out, or loses out, he will have enough Match Points to place within an amount of Championship Points to make it to Worlds! Or so he thought. As he was setting up to play his opponent, judges quickly crowd over him and ask to perform a deck check. Like any player in any tournament, Ghaziaskar quickly felt his heart sink…
Now this is not to incriminate anyone, but I personally believe that every player has fears when getting deck checked - similar to getting pulled over my a police officer, we always fear for the worst. Did he write out his deck list properly? Was he missing a card? Did he some how gain an extra card? How were his sleeves looking? He had just sleeved up in brand new Dragon Shields that morning… Clear Dragon Shields…
… And like that, Ghaziaskar was out of contention for the 2017 North American International Championships and had lost his invite to the World Championships. Ghaziaskar was promptly disqualified based on the judges stance on his use of clear sleeves. As most players should know, Pokemon cards get damaged by playing them and will have slight edge wear from playing in tournaments. Furthermore, there is a possibility of using the differentiation between wear on cards to gain an unfair advantage. That being said, Ghaziaskar has apologized for his ignorance by playing clear sleeves. He has stated that it was a careless decision, but he doesn't believe that he gained an unfair advantage. Nonetheless, as stated earlier in the article, he is banned for an indefinite amount of time based on the beliefs of TPCI.
This is where the story and the reign on Ghaziaskar should end right? Nope, not at all, he still plays the game… online, on PTCGO. Despite being banned, Ghaziaskar continues to play test for reasons that many people can only speculate on. Maybe its based on his competitive pride? Maybe its based on his yearning to help other players? Maybe he just wants a chance in the lime light again? Whatever the cause may be, he has created 'the play' for London; the deck that most top players are considering for the tournament.
Ideology of Secret Decks
Do you know what the deck is? That is, you may not even understand what players are hinting about. Well, if you aren't able to field through cryptic inside-jokes between top players, you wouldn't be able to know. As much as the consensus between top players is that Ghaziaskar leaked the deck to too many of us, the general player base has no clue on what this deck is. Here is an example of an inside joke made by my friend and fellow Pro Play Games teammate Daniel Altavilla in a Facebook Group:
This is not to take a stab at top level player or to showcase any particular player who has kept the secrecy of this deck. It is a mere look into the secrecy of the game at this particular point heading into one of the most important tournaments of the year. I do believe though that sharing the deck list and my thoughts about this secret deck should be useful to everyone going to London. It will take away the level of secrecy and possibly change the outcome of the tournament entirely.
Here is the deck:
Broken Deck
Ghaziaskar's Gardevoir
- 1x Gallade
- 3x Gardevoir GX
- 3x Kirlia
- 4x Ralts
- 3x Tapu Lele GX
- 2x Alolan Vulpix
- 1x Oranguru
- 4x Professor Sycamore
- 4x N
- 3x Guzma
- 1x Brigette
- 1x Parallel City
- 4x Max Potion
- 4x Ultra Ball
- 4x Rare Candy
- 3x Field Blower
- 2x Super Rod
- 2x Choice Band
- 7x Fairy Energy
- 4x Double Colorless Energy
Pokémon (17)
Trainer (32)
Energy (11)
If you notice anything different about this list, you would be correct. It doesn't play the standard Sylveon-GX line and it also plays four Max Potion. This sways how the deck is played when compared to other Gardevoir-GX decks in the format. I will explain all of the differences between this deck and standard Gardevoir-GX lists below in the Card Analysis section. I will be omitting a match-up section due to Gardevoir-GX being a prevalent force and well covered concept online.
Card Analysis
Going through this deck, there are cards such as Professor Sycamore and N that are mainstays in almost every competitive deck list in the format. I will be omitting them from this section to avoid any amounts of repetitive or useless information in this article.
Three Gardevoir-GX
This count in the deck has been viewed as ideal since the inception of Gardevoir-GX and I don't view that as game changing. Secret Spring is a strong Ability because it follows my personal rule, if it breaks a rule of the game, it is most likely good. That being said, Gardevoir-GX breaks the rule of attaching a single energy per turn and allows you to promptly attach another Fairy Energy. Notably, Secret Spring is a stackable Ability, meaning that you can use multiple Gardevoir-GX to attach multiple extra energy per turn. Secret Spring alone is enough to make Gardevoir-GX a viable card in the current meta game, but we have to continue to look at what else the card has to offer. Looking further, Infinite Force is an attack that reads as its name describes, it can forcefully hit for an infinite amount. Gardevoir-GX can be an absolute beast when it has enough energy attached and can actually Knock Out any threat. Let's check out how it can Knock Out some of the most popular Pokemon heading into London:
Shining Mew 30 HP = one energy needed (with or without them have having an energy)
Zorua 60 HP = two energy needed (assuming they haven't attached an energy)
Frogadier 70 HP = two energy needed (assuming they used Water Duplicates)
Garbodor 120 HP = three energy needed (assuming they used Trashalanche)
Drampa-GX 180 HP = two or three energy needed (assuming they used Berserk and depending on whether you have access to a Choice Band)
Buzzwole-GX 190 hp = three or four energy (assuming they used Absorption GX and depending on whether you have access to a Choice Band)
There are obviously countless other Pokemon available in the format to Knock Out, but these are some of the most common Pokemon and they all have different amount of HP. The best kept secret about Ghaziaskar's list is that the deck focuses on using Twilight GX to run your opponent out of resources while providing chip damage from Infinite Force. The goal is to follow this finite loop in the game to tire out your opponent's resources:
Attack with Infinite Force with limited energy attached.
Use your first Max Potion to heal damage.
Attack with Infinite Force with limited energy attached.
Use your second Max Potion to heal damage.
Attack with Infinite Force with limited energy attached.
Use your third Max Potion to heal damage.
Attack with Infinite Force with limited energy attached.
Use your fourth Max Potion to heal damage.
Now it is completely understandable that you may not have access to all of your Max Potion each game, and that is completely fine. You just need to take away one of those steps. However, if you thought the finite loop has completed, you would be quite wrong! You can use Twilight GX to repeat this strategy again:
Use Twilight GX to recover multiple copies of Max Potion, Professor Sycamore, and other cards you believe you need for the rest of the game.
Use your fifth Max Potion to heal damage.
Attack with Infinite Force with limited energy attached.
Use your sixth Max Potion to heal damage.
Attack with Infinite Force with limited energy attached.
Use your seventh Max Potion to heal damage.
Attack with Infinite Force with limited energy attached.
Use your eighth Max Potion to heal damage.
So looking at this rinse and repeat strategy, you should be able to have more resources to attack and recover than your opponent. If you are wondering how to get all of your Max Potion in play before starting this cycle, you can use Oranguru's Instruct in combination with Gallade's Premonition to gather the proper cards you need.
One Gallade
As stated above, Gallade is going to be used as your way to draw cards that you need when you need them. Alternatively, Sensitive Blade can be used to provide chip damage versus Pokemon with a large amount of HP or it can be used to OHKO a Drampa-GX! It is quite often tough to set up two Gardevoir-GX and a Gallade due to evolution logistics and board state management, but it is possible with the support surrounding the deck.
Three Kirlia and Four Ralts
While Ghaziaskar hasn't gone into the full details of which Kirlia and Ralts he prefers, I feel like I can step in here to add in some valuable insight. If you look at my list, I decided that the Fairy Kirlia is the better option because it doesn't have a targeted Weakness of Psychic. Now, you may be wondering why I would put all of my eggs in the Metal Weakness basket, and it is as simple as Metal is going to hurt Gardevoir-GX the same as a Kirlia. That may not read as convincing as it sounds in my head, but it adds a strong opinion to the deck. If you had the Psychic type Kirlia, it is possible to make your Garbodor matchup worse while your Metagross-GX matchup would stay the same. I play the "Mumble" Fairy Ralts for similar reasons, but it is more for the additional damage. It isn't news that the 'Draining Kiss' Fairy Ralts is the most popular, but how does the additional healing provide anything positive to the deck? Quite frankly, Ralts has a low amount of HP no matter what you do to it so I enjoy the extra damage possibility from Magical Shot. Magical Shot can potentially attack an EX/GX Pokemon for 50 damage with the addition of Choice Band and that extra 10 damage may end up being the game winning move. However, don't let my pipe dream of a play let you believe that attacking with either Kirlia or Ralts is going to take precedence over the main strategy of the deck.
Two Alolan Vulpix
This card was once a staple in Gardevoir-GX decks, was taken out for the now popular Sylveon-GX line in most lists, and it has made its return in Ghaziaskar's list. I am not sure why players have given up on this card so quickly. Using Beacon to search out any two Pokemon in your deck is a great attack - and it's only better knowing it costs zero energy to use. When I went to Daytona Regionals earlier this year, I stayed with my testing partner and fellow Pro Play Games teammate Hunter Butler and he showed me other strengths of this card. It is actually possible to use Icy Snow with a Choice Band to hit a Pokemon with a Water-type Weakness for 100 damage. Most of the time, Fire Pokemon are easier to Knock Out with a Gardevoir-GX, but I did want to let everyone know that this move is possible.
One Oranguru
Whether you're using Instruct to draw a few cards at various points during a game, or drawing right after your opponent plays N to limit your hand, Oranguru is going to be your go-to Pokemon for draw support! Psychic is also a fairly efficient attack on a single-prize card Pokemon that does some decent damage, especially in mirror matches. In this deck, Oranguru can be used to gather Max Potions after using Gardevoir-GX's Twilight GX attack. If you think that this idea isn't going to work, think again! If you use Twilight GX after playing all cards that are useless to your late-game strategy, you will have the ability to draw into the cards you specifically want. This is even more compelling in combination with Gallade's Premonition Ability which really allows you to secure the cards you want, when you want them.
One Parallel City
You may be wondering where Ghaziaskar's Sylveon-GX is with the inclusion of Parallel City in this list, and that is why he is considering adding it in! I personally try to have a Stadium card in most of my lists, and in the current Standard format, Parallel City seems to be fairly strong on both sides, depending on your situation. You can limit your opponent's side of the field to only three Benched Pokemon, which can completely stop them in their tracks when it comes to playing down Pokemon such as Tapu Lele-GX or other important attacking Pokemon. You can also use the other side of Parallel City to reduce damage taken by popular Pokemon in the metagame right now such as Greninja, Volcanion, and Golisopod-GX! The true last use of Parallel City is to reduce your own bench, freeing it of weaker two-prize Pokemon such as Tapu Lele-GX or damaged Gardevoir-GX.
Four Max Potion
Ghaziaskar's main strategy in the deck! Since I have outlined the play a few times throughout the article, I don't need to go into too much detail regarding Max Potion being warranted in the deck. However, Max Potion can have other uses besides repeating its use in combination with Twilight GX. Max Potion can be used versus spread damage to null their effects at the source. I'm certain that if you have been a Gardevoir-GX player for a while, you must have fallen victim to the dreaded Espeon-EX and Po Town strategy. Rest assured, you can promptly heal your evolved Pokemon to avoid Miraculous Shine taking multiple Prize Cards at once.
Four Rare Candy
We need a way to get Gardevoir-GX and Gallade up and running very quickly and Rare Candy is currently the best way to accomplish this! With the deck being based around Brigette and Alolan Vulpix, we can quite often get a few Gardevoir-GX set up on the second turn! Ghaziaskar wanted to maximize his deck between being quick and being consistent so he included three Kirlia and four Rare Candy in his list.
Three Field Blower
This card is really our answer to Garbodor's Garbotoxin shutting off our Secret Spring mid-game, lowering our damage output. With the high chance of playing mirror matches at London, Ghaziaskar has decided to include a third Field Blower to take care of opposing Choice Bands. Field Blower can also be used to get rid of pesky cards such as an opposing Parallel City, a Po Town, or even Pokemon Tools such as Float Stone.
Two Super Rod
With this deck having a focused approach with Max Potion, you will often have more Fairy Energy in your Discard Pile than most other Gardevoir-GX. That being said, Max Potion and Super Rod go hand-in-hand to make sure that you always have a supply of Fairy Energy to use with Secret Spring to bounce back into games. Furthermore, with Twilight GX being a pivotal strategy in this deck, you can retrieve Super Rod to continue the strategy of reusing Max Potions.
Two Choice Band
This card is as simple as dealing an extra 30 damage to EX/GX Pokemon. Infinite Force's damage is partially dependent on the number of energy your opponent attaches, it is often helpful to slap on a Choice Band to do an extra 30 damage out of nowhere. This trick can either turn otherwise unavailable Knock Outs into OHKOs, or lessen the amount of energy a Gardevoir-GX needs to get a KO, freeing up energy that can then be attached to your other Pokemon. The most interesting fact about this card is that it won't get discarded when you use Max Potion to heal your Gardevoir-GX.
Possible Card Changes
As with almost any deck, players will often go through thought processes to make changes on what can make a deck better. Ghaziaskar said he has been tweaking the list with players including, but not limited to Daniel Altavilla, Benjamin Pham, Michael Pramawat and a few others. That being said, this conglomerate of a solid testing team should have the list to an ideal state and the list may or may not utilize the following additions that Ghaziaskar is still testing for the list.
This card is used as an answer to one of Gardevoir-GX's toughest matchups: Greninja BREAK! Giratina is able to shut off their Giant Water Shrunken with Devour Light and can slow the Greninja player to a halt as just a single-card inclusion in the list. Ghaziaskar hasn't fully explained where the cut would come from, but thats where I feel I can add my professional opinion. I think that possible cuttable cards from the deck include one Rare Candy, one Kirlia, one Max Potion, and one Field Blower. That being said, most of these cards make the deck more consistent and we have no way to predict the amount of Greninja BREAK decks that are expected to show up at London. If you do have a hunch that Greninja will be there to ruin your day, I think this is a fine inclusion in the list.
Counter Catcher
As a player who always enjoys trying out new cards, I think this card may eventually make it into the list. With the strategy of doing chip damage with Infinite Force and using Max Potion to heal, it is quite possible to give up a Prize Card or two in the process. This is the perfect reason to include a card such as Counter Catcher, which punishes your opponent for being greedy with drawing Prize Cards against you. Furthermore, you can always shuffle this card back into your deck with Twilight GX to maximize its usage throughout a game.
One Sylveon-GX and One Eevee
I think this inclusion is most likely the inclusion that will not be included in the final London list and for good reason - it takes up too much space! The deck already performs at an incredibly consistent rate, so why would we want to add this into the list? If your thoughts immediately went to Plea GX, I think that thought should specifically make this addition a bad idea for the deck. As much as I enjoy the Plea GX play with a Parallel City, this deck focuses on using Twilight GX to recycle Max Potion back into the deck. I would caution against using this card in this list.
Overall, these are the cards that Ghaziaskar personally messaged me as possible changes to his list. They were not in the list as of this writing and they may not make it into the finalized lists of players going to London. However, I wanted to make sure they were noted to allow for full transparency going into London. Speaking about London, I am flying there tomorrow, as of this writing, to compete later this week in the International Championships.
Across The Pond
Well, as I finish writing this article the Monday before London, I can't explain how exciting I am to have been able to deliver such an interesting piece before the big event. I would like to thank Seena Ghaziaskar for allowing me to write about his deck list for a major article website and I believe it proves that he has nothing to hide. I know he may not have the acceptance of the general playing public, but I do think we should continue to look for any and all resources when preparing for a tournament. I do wish Ghaziaskar the best as he continues to appeal his ban and I think we will see him playing the game sooner than later; at an actual tournament, that is.
As for me, I haven't fallen into the hype of Ghaziaskar's list because I picked my deck out weeks ago. I am currently playing Golisopod-GX/Gumshoos-GX/Latios, akin to the list from my Hartford article here, and I don't believe much can change my deck choice at this point. I am solely picking my deck based on my assumption that the majority of local players in London will continue to follow Tord Reklev in the ways of Drampa-GX/Garbodor. That being said, I am very comfortable in that matchup along with most of the matchups I expect to face heading into London. Either way, feel free to follow me on my Twitter: zlesage_pokemon to see if there are any changes to my lists. I am personally excited to see the results of the London International Championships and hopefully I will continue to ride the wave on top of the competitive spectrum. I wish everyone the best of luck who is living out their dream trying to compete for a World Championship invite or for those who are loving and supporting the game from a casual standpoint.
I will see everyone at the 2017 European International Championships, if you haven't met me in person or if we have just briefly met, feel free to actually introduce yourself to me because I love knowing everybody. Thank you for all of the support, I truly appreciate everyone who take the time to read one of my articles and for supporting 60 Cards.

11 Responses to "Tehran after a summer rainy day"
What a sad situation we have today. Every time I view the photos here, or read the commentaries, I realize of all the middle-eastern countries, we have more in common with Iran than any other.
Although I am an American sitting in California right now, I was there just a few days ago in Tehran for this summer rain. I miss it every time I leave your beautiful country. I say that even thought I understand the "sad situation" described earlier.
I always enjoy your pictures. Reminds me of the holiday I spend in your beautiful country a year ago. I have traveled the world but never came across so many friendly and welcoming people! Something we in the West can learn (among others) from Iranians.
Keep up the good work.
Greetings from the Netherlands.
Iran is the most beauriful contry in the world. People are warm, hospitable, loving, sensitive, emotional, kind with a rich culture and customs.
I love to receive e-mails from people of Iran: men and women
PLEASE write to me directly : email@example.com
ELENA ( Greek who lives in USA). Honddafes
The Tehran climate is warm during the summer 84 F (or 29 C, in July) and relatively cool 39 F (or 4 C, in January) during the winter months. Tehran's rainy season is between November and May; snow falls between December and February. The amount of annual rainfall is eight inches.

Playing cards have been with us since the 14th century, when they first entered popular culture. Over the centuries packs of cards, in all shapes and sizes, have been used for games, gambling, education, conjuring, advertising, fortune telling, political messages or the portrayal of national or ethnic identity. Their popularity is undoubtedy due to the imaginative artwork and graphic design which is sometimes overlooked, and the "then & now" of how things have changed.

Taking the approach of Angel Investments to another level, Voltage230, a shark-tank style pitching opportunity for budding tech start-ups got under way at the recently held Disrupt Asia 2016. HUTCH, Sri Lanka's fastest growing 3G network,came on board to support the event as the Gold Sponsor.
Five individual investors from industries such as technology, finance and telecommunications had lent their interest and expertise into turning this into a support platform for growing Sri Lankan entrepreneurs in the field of technology.
Thirukumar Nadarasa- Chief Executive Officer of HUTCH was a member of the elite panel of judges, giving valued feedback and advice on how best young entrepreneurs can improve on their go to market strategies.
Commenting on the stance that HUTCH has taken with Voltage230, Nadarasa said, "HUTCH believes in the great potential ofSri Lankan youth, particularly in the digital economy of the future. We are privileged to have been presented with the opportunity to be a part of the esteemed panel of judges advising local start-ups in further commercialising their product to make them more "market ready". This will in turn attract funding from angel investors to further grow their business and valuation. HUTCH is pleased to be able to play a role in supporting local Sri Lanka digital start-ups with our deep experiences as a Fortune500 global multinational."
Voltage230 allowed start-up representatives to open the floor with a five minute pitch aimed towards the panel of investors. The pitch involved a breakdown of the start-ups intro, financial enforcement and how much of an investment the entrepreneur is hoping to achieve from any of the interested parties. Eventually, the successful candidate was to be picked on the spot or be turned down, depending on the situation.

Tourism as a primary axis for regional cooperation in the Balkans and Black Sea region dominated the second and last day's sessions of the inaugural Balkans & Black Sea Cooperation Forum (BBSF), which concluded in northeast Greece city of Serres on Friday.
Most speakers' main points echoed the UN's declaration of 2017 as the International Year of Sustainable Tourism, as the session itself was entitled "Cultural & Sustainable Tourism - Cultural Tourism, a key to Sustainable Development", with both UN World Tourism Organization Secretary-General Taleb Rifai and UNESCO Director-General of Irina Bokova sending video messages.
The Deputy Mayor of Tirana, Brunilda Paskali, briefed delegates over a joint tourism package being promoted in the Japanese market by Albania, Serbia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (fYRoM), Montenegro and Bosnia. Based on the holiday package, as she said, tourists spend a week in each of the aforementioned countries.
On his part, the president of the Geo Routes Cultural Institute, Giannis Balakakis, focused on what he called the "traditional" tourism models, which for decades were the mainstay in Greece and other regional countries, but which in many cases led to the "all inclusive" phenomenon -- whereby local communities reaped little or no tourism revenue but bore the brunt of whatever negative impact.
He added that alternatives to "mass tourism", such as models emphasizing cultural heritage packages with several destinations included, is an answer to where tourism should be steered in the future.
The managing director of the Thessaloniki International Fair-Helexpo, Kyriakos Pozrikidis, presented the new products that Greece's biggest exhibition and trade operator is investing in, as well as upcoming conferences and exhibitions organized by Helexpo.
Finally, Ahmet Oguz Demir, the director of the EU Research Center in Istanbul, reminded that in the current digital era consumers can reserve a hotel room with one "click" and at the same time read other travelers' experiences and critiques.
He noted that citizens should strive to avoid technological "illiteracy' in order to enjoy more alternatives and choices in terms of the tourism and holiday packages they desire.
The forum was organized by the Geo Routes Cultural Institute (GRCI), under the auspices of various international, European and Black Sea region organizations, in cooperation with the Serres regional unit.
BBSF's official partner was the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC) organization, with strategic partners being the European Bank Federation (EBF), the Black Sea Trade and Development Bank (BSTDB) and the Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions of Europe (CPMR).
The event was supported by the Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA) and its affiliated Praktoreio 104.9 FM radio station.

GULF OF MEXICO — Nearly 370 boats filled the Mississippi Sound just before daybreak yesterday for the start of this year's shrimp season.
Many boats could be seen from the beach Tuesday evening, iced down and fueled up in anticipation of the season opening.
Shrimpers showed off their catch early yesterday, and they said the large numbers pointed to a good season.
John Guidry Jr. of Carriere put his net in the water for less than an hour, and it was so heavy he needed two people to help him get it in his boat.
"This was a 45-minute haul," he said, smiling. "This is one of the best catches I've ever had in my life. The last time I caught shrimp like this, I ran out of ice."
Officials with the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources announced last week that shrimp season would begin yesterday. Scientists sampled shrimp several times a week until they reached 68-count per pound as required by state statute.
"The opening of shrimp season is a great tradition on the Mississippi Gulf Coast," said Jamie Miller, executive director of the MDMR. "Its roots run deep in our community, with generations of fishermen providing great seafood that contributes significantly to South Mississippi's economy."
This year there were 368 boats in the water on opening day, the most since June 2005, said Rick Burris, director of the Shrimp and Crab Bureau. He is optimistic that this year's season will be a good one.
"Heavy spring rains and a cold winter lead to a later opening, but a successful one by all accounts," Burris said. "From our early reports, this is one of the best openings we have had in years. Most of the fishermen we talked to were hauling in really good numbers of 30-40-count brown shrimp, and it should only get better as night falls."
MDMR's aerial survey showed most of the fleet was located from the Biloxi East channel to Bellefontaine Beach (155) and from the Gulfport ship channel to Deer Island (120). A smaller number of boats (65) were working the west side of the Gulfport ship channel.
Early harvest reports showed fishermen hauling in 300-plus pounds per trawl of 30-40-count brown shrimp. The size was slightly smaller west of the Gulfport ship channel with 40-50-count brown shrimp, but the number of pounds were the same as in other areas.
MDMR sold 729 shrimp licenses since April. Of those, 359 were resident commercial, 256 were non-resident commercial and 114 were recreational.

While some will swear on their trust fund that Crystal Charity Ball and the deb balls are the showcases for Dallas' mostest in formal attires, this year's Dallas Symphony Orchestra AT&T Gala set a standard for the upcoming soirées.
That standard was set on Saturday, September 8, far in advance by Co-chairs Jennifer and Coley Clark. Not only had they arranged for cellist to the gods Yo-Yo Ma to perform with the DSO (a first coming together for Yo-Yo and DSO star child Jaap van Zweden), but they had managed a sell-out for the dinner/concert plus 600+ for the after-party hosted by Anna-Sophia van Zweden and Katherine and Eric Reeves.
Oh, that Jennifer. In addition to getting her husband Coley to look pretty darn fabulous in white tie and tails, the brunette with hair pulled back in a bun wore a stop-traffic-yellow Michael Faircloth gown with pockets that seemed to be oblivious to wrinkles throughout the entire night. Thank heaven, her arms were just meant for the sleeves look.
And, no, it was not a coincidence for the color matchup between Jennifer's look and the French-themed decorations by Todd Fiscus, who revealed the evening's look of a French café: black and white striped awnings, reminiscent of the 1920s, with a pop of yellow. Another model was the Viceroy Hotel in Palm Springs, which does a modern take on art deco—awning stripes/greyhound dogs were popular in the deco era. But Todd didn't have time to dawdle. He was off to Palm Springs the next day, then back at work on a Cabo wedding, an April wedding for "Elaine" and a lot of other special occasions including the Wednesday night gala for the Klyde.
But this evening, Todd's handiwork provided the perfect backdrop for Dallas's most gorgeously dressed music lovers including Pat McEvoy's black lace Elie Saab and Judith Leiber bag, Kara Petersen's hot red J Mendel on the arm of Randall Goss, Tiffany Divis in a dazzling green Michael Faircloth with red hair swept up, Stephanie Fisher in an ivory and crystal Badgley Mischka, Diane Klein in a one-shoulder midnight blue David Meister, Anne Stodghill with red hair in curls in an Alexander McQueen, Linda Ivy in a Chris Cole low-cut gown with Judith Leiber bag and marabou boa from Trina Turk (husband Steve claimed the feathers actually came from Big Bird), Nelda Cain Pickens in a black lace by Oscar de la Renta, Nancy Carlson in Chanel, Margo Keyes in Armani picked out by husband Jim, Nancy Cain Marcus in beige and brown Mary McFadden, Christi Urschel in a swirling delight by Angel Sanchez with a Judith Leiber bag, Sarah Perot in a short Monique Lhuillier, Shelle Sills in a moss green Vera Wang and Brooke Shelby in another Vera Wang but dark blue with a low cut back.
As a matter of fact, low cut was the game of the night. Who could get the lowest? For front deep down there was a tie between Jacqueline Anderson and Leilani Baker. Thank heaven for those well-placed threads that crisscrossed the gowns keeping the gals PG-rated.
Regarding the lowdown on the skin revealing on the back, it couldn't have gotten much lower than Anna Sophia van Zweden's skintight tomato-red Khanh gown. As one person observed, "She spent more money on her makeup than her lingerie."
But don't go thinking that everyone shelled out wads of cash for designer dreams and Judith Leiber. Lucy Wrubel got her black-and-white shortie from a resale shop, Claire Emanuelson recycled a dress she bought for Neiman's 100th anniversary (that was five years ago) and Nancy Fisher simply bought "antique fabric and had it made" into a dress.
But it wasn't all about clothes on this night. There was a lot of chatting up about the past summer. Best story belonged to Katherine and Key Coker, who were vacationing in a rented home at an old fishing village called Siasconset near Nantucket. With rose bushes all over the place, they were taking photos one morning when a couple of bicyclists came by. The Cokers asked if the man would take their picture. Sure! Then Katherine and Key noticed that the female of the twosome looked oh-so familiar. Surely, they knew her or had seen her before. It was Katie Couric in a white t-shirt. Got pix. They were there for Katie's emceeing the Nantucket hospital fundraiser.
On the business front, Jim Keyes reported that he's acquired the Wild Oats name, and by the end of the first quarter, products bearing the name will be seen under a new venture. Think healthy.
Another reason for the evening being special was the official debut of the DSO's new CEO/President Jonathan Martin and his wife Amy. The Atlanta-born Jonathan said he's been a "Texas boy for seven days and two hours," and that he's thrilled to be here. Having traveled to Dallas over the past 20 years, he's impressed by the growth of the city and what Jaap has done here. His goal is creating a sustainable funding platform for the orchestra. In other words, he wants to match what Jaap has done with the orchestra.
After catching up, everyone took their places for a two-course dinner including salad (blended quinoa salad with dried cherries and toasted pine nuts and citrus port dressing) with 14 Hands, "Hot to Trot," white blend, Washington state (2012) and dinner (slow braised boneless short rib with natural pan burgundy sauce along with golden chive whipped potato, honey glazed baby carrots and haircot vert) with first press, cabernet sauvignon, Napa Valley (2009). A darling couple hunks of chocolate sat at each place only hinting of the dessert feast to follow the concert.
When the Meyerson bells chimed calling the elegant masses to the hall for the concert, the hosts and DSO management personalities headed backstage. While waiting to welcome the audience, Amy Martin recalled a concert in Ohio where Yo-Yo slipped in and settled in with the rest of the strings section for a concert. He was just one of the musicians and was happy as a SMU co-ed boulevarding on the Quad.
As for the concert, let Scott Cantrell and FrontRow review it, but from backstage, Yo-Yo and Jaap were observed to have worked together as well as Paul Newman and Robert Redford. Those in the audience might just have witnessed classical music's titans having a heck of a great time with the DSO.
Afterwards the masses scurried (okay, so this group doesn't scurry; they stroll) to the after-party, but a small VVIP group gathered in the east loge. Talk about a feast! No, food was not the piece de resistance. It was the faces and the power behind those faces. In one part of the loge the Arts District hotties Jacqueline Anderson and Anna-Sophia van Zweden chatted. It was a coming together of super novas. They're oh-so scary magnificent when put together. Just imagine Barbies on steroids. Quietly to the side was newlywed Jessica Olsson Nowitzki sans Dallas Mavericks hubby Dirk and buds Joyce Goss and Barbara Buzzell. However, Jacqueline and Anna-Sophia spotted the real woman of the region in their presence — philanthropist Margaret McDermott seated nearby glowing in white in her wheelchair.
As the top rollers waited their turn to have two seconds of bonding with Yo-Yo and/or Jaap, someone wisely wheeled Margaret to that area of the loge. Like eager freshmen vying for the attention of the homecoming queen, Yo-Yo and Jaap left the photo lineup to kneel at Lady Margaret's chair. She graciously smiled and accepted their attention. Then a handler commandeered her chair, someone else handed her a glass of white wine and she was gone.
While all of this was going on upstairs for the VVIP's, the gala attendees and post-party revelers were cramming into Opus for hearty partying. With Lucy in charge without last year's tot trampoline, she managed the crowd on the dance floor led by Linda and Steve Ivy, Lynn and Peter Dauterman, Hannah and Searcy Ferguson and Laura and Malcolm Ferguson. On the sidelines were Lisa Ogle, Kristi Hoyl, JB Hayes and Sally and Tom Dunning.
It was a great launch of the fundraising season. What lies ahead? Can't wait to see, hear and witness.

This gives a list of the divine and demonic qualities. One should strive to develop the divine qualities and reduce the demonic qualities.
- Killing is wrong, humans or animals. Thus no meat eating, no eggs, no leather goods like sofa, car seats etc. Leather is made from cows.
- Hatred towards anyone, regardless of religion, color, and nation is wrong.
- Sex before marriage is wrong, sex outside marriage is wrong. Thus no girlfriends/boyfriends. In Vedic culture a girl with a boyfriend is called a prostitute.
- Taking intoxication is wrong. Thus no drugs, no alcohol, no tobacco chewing, and no smoking.
- Gambling is wrong. This means no betting on horses. No playing cards/games for money. One should not even visit gambling cities (like Las Vegas). By visiting a gambling city, you are supporting gambling and thus gambling indirectly.
- Having disrespect for others is wrong. Everyone (regardless of religion, color, fat, thin, good looking, ugly looking, old etc.) should be greatly respected. The eldest should be given the greatest respect.
- Not socializing with friends and relatives is wrong. This means one should visit the friends and relatives as often as possible. Even some animals socialize. So those who do not socialize are lower than the animals.
- Not being compassionate is wrong. Being compassionate is one of the most important human qualities. The first chapter of the Bhagavad-Gita is all about how compassionate Arjuna was to even those who wanted to kill him. Lord Krishna only gives divine knowledge (Bhagavad-Gita to such compassionate people.
- Not being considerate of others is wrong. One should always be considerate of others at all times. Always consider the welfare, well-being, and safety of others before yours.
- Not being charitable is wrong. One should give a portion of all income in charity to competent temples and the poor on a regular basis (whenever the income is received). Giving charity to unworthy people or to in-competent temples is a waste.
Competent temples are those that give knowledge (preach) on a daily or weekly basis and have qualified Brahmans who are based on qualifications and not because of birth. The Bhagavad-Gita clearly states that one can only become a Brahman by qualifications and not by birth.
In-competent temples are those that give no knowledge (no preaching) and have Brahmans who are based on birth and not qualifications.
The Divine Qualities
- Non-violence
- Love for all living beings
- Truthfulness
- Simplicity
- Charity
- Self-control
- Austerity
- Cleanliness
- Forgivenes
The Demonic Qualities
- Violence
- Hatered
- Untruthful
- Materialism
- Pride
- Arrogance
- Conceit
- Lust
- Anger
- Greed
- Harshness
- Ignorance
- Ego

New Zealand and Hong Kong agree to streamline trade
Significant trade benefits for New Zealand and Hong Kong will flow from a formal arrangement recognising the supply chain security programmes of both economies, says Customs Minister Meka Whaitiri.
The Acting Comptroller of the New Zealand Customs Service, Christine Stevenson, and the Commissioner of Hong Kong Customs and Excise, Mr Hermes Tang, signed the Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) in Brussels on 28 June during the World Customs Organization Council session.
"Hong Kong is an important market for New Zealand, being our 9th largest goods export market. These exports were worth NZ$1.1 billion in 2017, while our services exports to Hong Kong reached $411 million," Meka Whaitiri said.
"The signing of this MRA between New Zealand and Hong Kong Customs grows that relationship through streamlined customs procedures and tighter assurances around risk management, so legitimate trade can flow more smoothly.
"Under this arrangement, members of New Zealand Customs' Secure Export Scheme will benefit through faster clearance of their goods by Hong Kong Customs.
"The Secure Export Scheme ensures exporters who sign up are seen as a 'low security risk', ensuring their businesses greater certainty at international borders and minimal delay.
"Being a smaller economy, enhanced trade facilitation is important for New Zealand, as we are highly-dependent on the smooth and efficient flow of international trade.
"This MRA means we now have arrangements in place with six of our top ten trading partners, including the United States, Japan, Korea, Australia and China," Meka Whaitiri said.

A recent article in Inc dramatically reports:
'In 1 Powerful Sentence, Mark Cuban Just Gave Every Company in America a Harsh Wake-up Call'
It's a simple statement, with profound implications."
Goes on with:
"Mark Cuban, Shark Tank investor and outspoken owner of the Dallas Mavericks basketball team, recently took to his personal blog to comment on a major issue facing the NBA — and every employer in America.
There's been a lot of talk regarding how NBA players have really taken control of their league, with the most talented players teaming up behind the scenes to play together or asking to be traded to a different team if they're not happy with their situation."
Quotes Cuban saying:
"Some feel that the player movement we have seen … is a problem, I don't. I think it is exactly what we should expect, and it reflects what is happening in the job market across industries in our country."
"This reality has changed what it is like to be an employer. In the past, the default was that the best employees would want a long career with their employers, because that is what you did. You kept your job as long as you could. No longer."
And then, the '1 Powerful Sentence':
"Now the onus is on employers to keep their best employees happy."
Don't we guys in software industry of 1980-2010 vintage know? Talk to us and we'll tell you horror stories to fill many tomes. With attrition soaring amok, further aggravated by shortage of talent pool, it wasn't about keeping 'best employees' happy. One had to amuse whoever walked by within six feet of the front gates to lure…
Welcome to the Party, America – you're a few decades late though. Invite us to talks – we can tell a thing or two – on how we coped up, kept the show going, our customers served without disruption!
To be fair, it's not new to them either – I recall from many years ago a senior executive from HP, wise to our predicament, mentioning it was no different in those early years in California. May be long forgotten with its learnings.
The article goes on to talk about the How's of the sentence, covering all bases: coaching, empowerment, inclusivity, communication, career development…besides remuneration.
Coming back to the real subject of this post, '1 Powerful Sentence':
"Now the onus is on employers to keep their best employees happy."
You thought happiness is more for pets given to by their masters?
Sorry, am being irreverent and flippant.
Years of working with colleagues at all levels and of all hues in good and bad times has taught us one thing that I share with you here – a perspective adding to (and not in any way invalidating) the professed sentence and its How's:
Make it a journey with them – feasible, authentic, involved, worthwhile, interesting and enjoyable for them, for you and the organization. Happiness ensues and a lot more…
To cite a parallel, of relevance – Just as caring for community's safety and earning their respect and the adrenal rush of running towards (and not away from) danger to save life and property are identified as the two pure and strong turn-on's in the lives of fire-fighters who in many surveys end up high to very high in job satisfaction.
Each of those words feasible…is purposeful, non-overlapping and worthy of deliberation.
Well, I can tell you – and my colleagues out there would also vouch – it has been shown to work for its practitioners.

At the sunset of his life, 21-year-old cat Tigger was abandoned by his human at a local veterinary surgery. Sad and confused, he couldn't understand why. But then Adriene Nicole came along. Nicole saw his story on the Canton Neighbors page and decided to take him home. She wanted to give him the love he needed.
Sadly, Nicole soon discovered that Tigger had kidney failure and a golf ball-sized tumor. But it didn't hold Nicole back. Tigger's story just shows how amazing it is to adopt a geriatric pet and give them the best remaining days!

ALE and SHP Arrest Two After Alcohol-Related Crash Kills Teen
BURKE COUNTY, NC (January 31, 2019) — An 18-year-old East Burke High School student is dead, and two adults are in custody after an alcohol-related accident on January 23, 2019.
Myles Bradley Davis, 18, of Hildebran was killed in a single-occupant, single-vehicle crash on Highway 70A shortly after he left home Wednesday night. Davis was found unresponsive and pronounced dead at the scene.
North Carolina State Highway Patrol suspected Davis was impaired prior to the accident after alcohol was found near the vehicle. Troopers notified North Carolina Alcohol Law Enforcement who began a joint investigation into how Davis obtained the alcohol.
That investigation led SHP troopers to Davis' residence, at 102 2nd Street Place in Hildebran, where they found three, unconscious underage individuals. ALE special agents later interviewed the individuals to find out more about the events which led to Davis' death. The investigation led ALE special agents to the Run In 114, a convenience store, located at 400 South Center Street in Hildebran, NC.
Cody Childress, 37, and Amanda Mullins, 37, of Rhodhiss, deliberately overrode the cash register's age-verification system in order to sell alcoholic beverages to Davis, who was under the age of 21 and intoxicated.
ALE and SHP arrested Childress and Mullins at the Run In convenience store earlier today. Both were charged with the sale of alcoholic beverages to a person under the age of 21, and the sale of alcoholic beverages to an intoxicated person.
"These arrests underscore the importance of checking identifications before selling alcoholic beverages to anyone who may be underage," said ALE Assistant Special Agent in Charge M. Shoaf "Additionally, clerks have a responsibility to ensure they never sell alcoholic beverages to a person who is intoxicated."
Childress and Mullins were taken before a Burke County Magistrate and each given a $20,000 secured bond. They are due in court May 1, 2019.
ALE's 109 specially trained agents have the authority to arrest and take investigatory action for any criminal offense. Their primary responsibility is the enforcement of Alcoholic Beverage Control laws and state lottery laws. ALE is a branch of the State Bureau of Investigation.

Fidelity defines a Stable-Value Fund as:
A stable value fund generally invests in investment contracts, certain types of fixed income securities (e.g., U.S. treasury bonds, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, bond funds), and money market investments.Mortgage backed securities are behind the melt-down on Wall Street!
While the stable value fund tries to maintain a stable $1 unit price, the fund cannot guarantee that this unit price will be maintained and its yield may fluctuate. The goal of the stable value fund is to preserve the participant's principal investment while earning interest income.
Article excerpts:
It's not just money-market funds that are being scrutinized. Many 401(k) plan participants and employers are fretting about stable-value funds. These products, which are generally available only in defined contribution and 529 plans, typically invest in high-quality bonds and bank or insurance-company contracts that guarantee the value of the principal and offer relatively high interest rates compared with money-market funds.Could these stable-value experts be related to the experts who missed the housing bubble and the effect its bursting would have on Wall Street financial firms such as AIG? I hope not.
The troubled insurance giant AIG is a major player in stable-value funds. The company is a provider of "wrap" contracts that protect the funds against loss of principal. AIG wraps roughly 10% of the stable-value fund assets tracked by Hueler Analytics, a stable value research firm. And that has many investors on edge.
But investors shouldn't lose much sleep over the developments at AIG, stable-value experts say. In stable-value wrap contracts, the fund assets are not held in the insurance company's general account. They're owned and controlled by the plan. And in stable-value funds that hold AIG wraps, AIG would typically be just one of many wrap providers. "If something were to happen to one of those wrap providers, it doesn't really change anything in the stable-value portfolio other than the manager has to decide to reallocate those dollars to a different wrap provider," says Kelli Hueler, CEO of Hueler Analytics.
I don't own any stable-value funds because I have never wanted to "trust an insurance company" to stay in business for me to have a good retirement. I use CDs, TIPS, GNMAs, Treasuries and a total bond fund for my core and explore portfolios. Why take excessive risk in the fixed income part of your investment portfolio when your rewards are only a few extra points of return above the safe investments I prefer? I take the risk in the stock market where the upside is unlimited!
Beware of Annuities

The Other Man Was Me is the long-awaited poetic debut from the winner of the National Poetry series 1993 Open Competition. It is a voyage of many discoveries: a people loses its homeland and finds a vast new continent, an immigrant's son discovers his cultural and sexual identities, and a physician awakens to the suffering of his patients. This collection of poems begins by chronicling the long journey from Spain to Cuba and ultimately to America that has been undertaken by so many hopeful, proud people.
The second section of this book is a telling portrait of four generations of the author's family. This time the journey is more emotional than physical, with the painful search for the lost homeland ending in the claiming of a new, empowered identity based on a loving relationship between two men, both Latino. The last section of the book explores this homosexual American identity further, in the particular context of the doctor-patient relationship on the age of AIDS. What does it mean to be "the other" in America? Whether different by virtue of ethnic background, sexual orientation, social class or HIV status, The Other Man Was Me seeks to answer this question with honesty and courage.

A whale has been spotted off the coast of Gravesend in the River Thames.
Ecologist Dave Andrews (@iPterodroma on Twitter) first saw it feeding around barges near Coalhouse Fort.
"Can't believe I'm writing this, no joke - BELUGA in the Thames off Coalhouse Fort," he tweeted.
"For anyone twitching the beluga it's been feeding around the barges (see last tweet for location) for the last hour and hasn't moved more than 200m in either direction. Still present."
The Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society tweeted: "Give the whale space.
"Unlike deep sea whales sometimes found in the Thames like the famed northern bottlenose whale, belugas do swim up rivers in shallow waters but not this far south and never all alone."
Beluga whales are easily identified by their distinctive white markings, according to the society.
While porpoises and dolphins are occasionally seen in the river, sightings of other species are rare.
Beluga whales inhabit cold, arctic waters off Greenland, Svalbard and in the Barents Sea.
There have only been around 20 sightings of beluga whales off the UK coast previously but these have occurred off Northumberland, Northern Ireland and Scotland.
