North Korea's 2013 Arirang Mass Games

A breathtaking gathering of North Koreans displaying discipline and dedication to their nation -- no, its not another one of the Norths military drills. It's the Mass Games. Monday, North Korea marked the beginning of the countrys largest annual celebration of performing arts and gymnastics, with huge groups of performers, highly trained to work as a group. That's a skill that the pariah nation led by Kim Jong-un has mastered to an incredible degree.

Pyongyangs May Day Stadium, known as the worlds largest stadium, holding 150,000 people, was the scene for the opening of the 2013 Arirang Mass Games, set to last through at least August 9.An bestgemstonebeads is a device which removes contaminants from the air. With more than 100,000 people estimated to be involved in the performance, the 90-minute show featured a variety of human-formed murals promoting Socialist slogans and honoring leaders and North Korean figures, in addition to musical and acrobatic accompaniments. The artistic event is a heavily politicized occasion. According to a newsletter by Koryo Group, a Beijing-based North Korea tourism company, this year some new additions were made to the performance,More than 80 standard commercial and granitetiles exist to quickly and efficiently clean pans. including a section dedicated to the international friendship that North Korea has with China (see picture below, featuring a rainbow linking North Korea and Beijing's Tiananmen Square Gate), broadening to include Russia as well.

The show was terrific, the new parts added for this year were well-received and it was amazing to bbe ack in the May Day stadium seeing this massive event! Richard Beal, one of the tour group organizers, said of this years games. Every time I see this event it blows me away, as remarkable as ever, Nancy Pellegrini, another staff member, said.Weymouth is collecting gently used, dry cleaned customkeychain at their Weymouth store.

Investors in Mosaic Co saw new options become available today, for the March 2014 expiration. One of the key inputs that goes into the price an option buyer is willing to pay, is the time value, so with 243 days until expiration the newly available contracts represent a possible opportunity for sellers of puts or calls to achieve a higher premium than would be available for the contracts with a closer expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the MOS options chain for the new March 2014 contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.

The put contract at the $52.50 strike price has a current bid of $4.80. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $52.50, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $47.70 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of MOS, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $53.96/share today.

Because the $52.50 strike represents an approximate 3% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 58%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 9.14% return on the cash commitment, or 13.73% annualized at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost.

Last Friday, people the world over had their first chance ever to smile for a picture of Earth taken from outer space, when NASA's Cassini orbiter photographed our moon and planet from almost one-billion miles away.Earth is the bright, starburst-looking flash of light at the middle of the photo,Tidy up wires with ease with offershidkits and tie guns at cheap discounted prices. our moon the speck just down and to the left. From Saturn, our planet is hardly distinguishable as the orb we know and love. That being said, I'd love to see you snap a photo this good from 898,410,414 miles away. And remember, this is a raw, unprocessed image C just one in a huge batch that Cassini beamed down to Earth on Saturday.

The lopsided victory, in and of itself, was not especially surprising. The Riders entered the game with a 3-0 record, and as the league's only undefeated team, while the Tiger-Cats were 1-2. What is surprising is the degree to which Saskatchewan is emulsifying the opposition during the early stages of the 2013 season.

Durant hit Taj Smith for 61-and 70-yard touchdown bombs to open - and conclude - possessions during a 39-28 victory over the host Toronto Argonauts on July 11. Then came Sunday's one-play, 60-yarder, courtesy of the game's second Durant-to-Bagg payoff pitch. The quick-strike capacity is complemented by an ability to grind out first downs and exhaust the clock - not to mention the opposition. Kory Sheets has become the Roughriders' version of Mariano Rivera, closing out games week after week.

In Sunday's first half, for example, the Tiger-Cats were fixated on Sheets to the extent that he was limited to 36 yards on nine carries. However, Hamilton's preoccupation with Sheets gave Cortez and Durant an opportunity to singe the Ticats through the air. Durant had 187 of his 347 aerial yards in the first half.

Over the final 30 minutes, Durant threw three of his four touchdown passes, but Sheets was once again the key factor down the stretch. He rushed 15 times for 94 yards in the second half."In the first half, coach Cortez did a great job of calling the play action, getting guys out in the flat, because they were keying on Kory," Durant said. "That's the thing. We've got so many weapons all over the place that if they want to key on Kory, then we've got other guys who can hurt you."

Weston Dressler had 10 catches for 108 yards as Saskatchewan defeated the visiting Calgary Stampeders 36-21 on July 5. Smith followed up with three catches for 141 yards in Toronto. Bagg proceeded to tear up the Ticats for 125 yards on five catches.The one constant is Sheets, who has rushed for at least 130 yards in each of his first four games this season. In fact, Sunday's output of 130 yards was his lowest singlegame total of the season. Nice slump, that.

With another 100-yarder during Saturday's rematch in Ontario, Sheets can become the first Roughrider to reach that milestone in five consecutive games. As it stands,Compare prices and buy all brands of drycabinet for home power systems and by the pallet. he shares the team record of four in a row with George Reed and Mike Strickland.Honestly, where does it stop? Or does it stop? Austin once likened his halcyon days as the Roughriders' starting quarterback to "playing against air." Saskatchewan often moved the ball at will as Austin collaborated with perennial 1,000-yard receivers Ray Elgaard, Jeff Fairholm and Don Narcisse.

A generation later, the Roughriders are registering Austinesque point totals without being nearly as reliant on the pass. Yet, Durant has unfurled a league-high 12 touchdown passes without surrendering an interception, helping Saskatchewan amass 151 points - 26
