US Senate advances health care reform bill

Tuesday, December 22, 2009

The US Senate has voted by 60 to 40 votes to close debate on landmark health care reform legislation backed by President Barack Obama but unanimously opposed by Republican lawmakers. Now, the divided chamber appears to be heading towards a vote to pass the bill on Thursday.

All 100 senators were gathered in the Capitol building for a key procedural vote on health care reform legislation. All 58 Democrats in the Senate, plus the two independents who normally vote with them, voted for cloture, which limits the length of debate. All forty Republicans unanimously opposed the cloture.

The bill would extend health insurance coverage to 30 million US residents who currently lack it, and forbid insurance companies from practices such as denying coverage due to pre-existing conditions. Most residents would be required to purchase health insurance for the first time, with subsidies provided to those who cannot afford it.

“We’ll get this [bill] passed before Christmas and it will be one of the best Christmas presents this Congress has ever given the American people,” said Democratic senator Tom Harkin.

“This country, the greatest and richest the world has ever seen, is the only advanced nation on earth where dying for a lack of health insurance is even possible,” said Senate Majority leader Harry Reid.

Most Republicans, however, said they believed the bill is too expensive and would not correct the current problems with the US’s health care.

If the bill passes in the Senate, that version will have to be merged with a more liberal version passed by the House of Representatives which includes a government-run alternative, not included in the Senate version.

What Is Stock Trading

What Is Stock Trading

When someone says that they are buying shares, selling them or holding them, they are talking about stock trading or in particular, themselves as they are the stock traders. Stock traders are divided on the basis of the trading volume that they undergo.

Traders are generally traders or investors. The investors invest their money in some firm and then they tend to practically forget about any such investment. The idea is to make long term gains, avoiding every day fluctuation that the market has always been a witness to.

Traders on the other hand trade their stocks with one and one aim only. Make profits. Buy low and sell high has always been the mantra of day traders who begin their trading when the market opens and are done with it when the market closes. It has to be kept in mind that stock trading is never as easy as it seems and should always be done with ease and care.

Since stock trading has become vast to the levels that are unprecedented, people come up with a lot of different strategies and ways to make money. It is hard to define stock trading sometimes.

Still, let us answer some of the most basic questions about stock trading.

What is stock trading? :

To make the money off of the price movements that a stock may undergo in one single day, day traders will always be in a loop of selling and buying the shares. There are traders who aremore into penny stocksthat have a relatively lower price movement and there are traders who are more into the blue chip stocks that are kept in the game for the long term.

Stock trending is broadly classified into two categories.

Active trading and day trading.

Active trading:

Active trading is when the person is actively involved in trading but is not trading on the daily. Maybe more than 10 times a month but not more than that. These types of traders follow a specific strategy that they have set to make them short term profits at a particular moment in that particular tenure.

Day trading:

Here, the traders play on the daily. They are actively involved in trading and trade every day. Day traders are active as soon as the market opens and the good ones have already set their targets a few hours ago and are just waiting to execute those ideas. Their business ends as the trading day does.

Day traders buy and sell stocks multiple times a day with an aim of making money with the help of minimum risk ratio.

How can you trade stocks online?

To be a good trader, the key is to be in the game for a long time and that is the only way to make profits and money in the market. The game is to stick to the strategy that is once made and then making money with that and that only.

The step by step process to become an online stock trader can be found anywhere on the internet.

They Have artiles where they tell you to become a trader with a broker first and then open your account with the broker. Everyone knows that. The key to becoming a successful online stock broker is to be consistent and that is it.

There are brokers who put in therotten ideas of trading on either leverage or CFDs into the heads of novice traders.

The traders being new to the market always pay unwanted heed to such things and end up losing their money rapidly.

There are specific characteristics a goodtrading strategyhas always had.The survival of the trader and the success rate of the trade both are dependent on how verified the strategy is. The strategies that the novices device are not verified by anyone and hence are responsible for bringing loss to the trader. Sometimes the loss is so big that the trader quits trading altogether. The improv schemes the traders go through while trading are the reasons why trades fail.

Are you looking for a broker that can help you in trading stocks online?

Look no further

HFTradingwas established as a broker in 2019 and ever since, the broker has made a lot of noise in the market.

The fact that it is regulated with no one but two brokers makes it more than legitimate. With more than 300 tradable assets to trade with, the broker has made three thief trading accounts on which the trader can choose to trade from. The leverage that the broker provides, the preads that the broker asks, are all different for each trading account and respond to different assets differently.

Bottom Line:

Trading in stocks is a hard thing to do and should never be taken lightly. It has to be kept in mind that emotions never bought the food, math did.

Charlottetown, P.E.I. residents rally to support restaurant

Wednesday, March 30, 2005

The owners of the Noodle House Restaurant of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island (P.E.I.), Canada were overwhelmed by community support Tuesday when the restaurant overflowed with customers, cards, flowers, and personal pleas to not leave the province.

According to CBC News Prince Edward Island, the recent outpouring of support occurred after Tommy and Lina Ko, the restaurant owners, announced they would close the restaurant and leave the province following an incident two weeks ago, when groups of up to 200 teens from two nearby schools surrounded the restaurant, pelting it with snowballs, and threatening the Kos. Charlottetown Police Chief Paul Smith told CBC PEI that his force is ready to take whatever action is necessary to crack down on the behaviour and last week started videotaping over lunchtime when most of the misbehaviour has taken place. Police noted that they have received complaints from other businesses, pedestrians, and drivers in the busy “fast food alley” and intend to seek co-operation from the schools in identifying the main culprits.

However, a CBC PEI story from October, 2002, reported the Kos asking police to do more to stop the littering and other vandalism in the area including having signs smashed, windows broken, and fireworks set off in front of their restaurant. At that time, Deputy Chief Richard Collins told CBC PEI: “You can’t have upwards of 1,500 to 2,000 students in and around that area at dinner hour and not expect for some of them to misbehave,” but promised to continue patrols and try to teach the students respect of property.

Tommy Ko told CBC News that he was overwhelmed by the support this week and in thanks put on a surprise free buffet, though customers insisted on paying anyway. Nevertheless, after fighting the harassment for some five years, the Kos say they still are not sure they want to stay.

Athletes prepare for 2012 Summer Paralympics at the Paralympic Fitness Centre

Monday, August 27, 2012

London, England — As Paralympians ready for the Games which are set to open later this week, they have access to a world class fitness center inside the Paralympic Village which is designed to maximise their pre-Game preparations.

According to volunteers staffing the center, instead of being a single large room, as in Beijing, the building has numerous rooms. It, along with the adjacent Village Services Centre, is designed to be converted into a school after the games conclude. Rooms have been structured as a gym, an auditorium, and science laboratories.

Gym equipment is supplied by Technogym, an Italian firm that has supplied gym equipment for the Olympics since 2000. Equipment has been provided not just for for the Fitness Centre, but for gyms at all the Olympic venues. The newest equipment is oriented toward maximum flexibility, allowing athletes to exercise the particular muscles that they most require for their sport.

In addition to the equipment, the Fitness Centre also provides instructors trained in the use of the equipment, the likes of which athletes from many countries have never seen before. There are also a number of instructors available to provide motivational training.

UK company “seriously considering” GPS tracking devices in school uniforms

Saturday, August 25, 2007

The leading supplier of school uniforms in the United Kingdom, Lancashire-based manufacturer Trutex, has announced it is “seriously considering” including GPS tracking devices in future ranges of its uniform products after conducting an online survey of both parents and children.

“As a direct result of the survey, we are now seriously considering incorporating a [tracking] device into future ranges” said Trutex marketing director Clare Rix.

The survey questioned 809 parents and 444 children aged nine to 16. It showed that 44% of parents were worried about the safety of pre-teen children, and 59% wanted tracking devices installed in school apparel. 39% of children aged nine to 12 were prepared to wear clothing with tracking devices in them, while teenagers were notably less enthusiastic and more wary of what Trutex has admitted they see as a “big brother” concept.

However, Trutex has claimed the tracking devices would bring about worthwhile benefits, including being a valuable resource for parents who wanted to keep a close eye on where their children were at all times.

“As well as being a safety net for parents, there could be real benefits for schools who could keep a closer track on the whereabouts of their pupils, potentially reducing truancy levels” says Rix.

Each year, Trutex supplies 1 million blouses, 1.1 million shirts, 250,000 pairs of trousers, 20,000 blazers, 60,000 skirts and 110,000 pieces of knitwear to the UK.

It is not the first company to manufacture school uniforms with a central focus on child safety; last week Essex firm BladeRunner revealed it was selling stab-proof school blazers to parents concerned about violence against their children. The blazers were outfitted with Kevlar, a synthetic fibre used in body armour. It has already received orders internationally, including Australia.

If the Trutex tracking devices go ahead, it is unclear where in the uniform they will be located.
