5 apps to improve your love life
Can an app improve your relationship?
Millions of people use dating apps, but many need help when they actually embark on a relationship. The good news: There are apps to help turn romance Luddites into Lotharios.
There are thousands of apps that may improve couples’ relationships and sex lives. For couples who need help with the latter, there are apps that could teach couples new tricks, says Rick Singer, CEO of GreatApps.com, a site that reviews apps. But Singer says it’s worth approaching the subject of bringing an app into the bedroom cautiously. “I’m not sure that someone’s significant other wants to hear, ‘I downloaded this app so we can enjoy a better sex life,’” he says.
“It’s the latest instance of sex driving technology,” says Patchen Barss, author of “The Erotic Engine,” about the evolution of sexuality and technology. We’ve come a long way since the Victorian era, when gentleman carried X-rated Stanhope microphotographs in their pocket watches, he says.
And when it comes to improving couples’ relationships outside the bedroom, sometimes apps that have nothing to do with love or sex can provide incidental help: Daniel Hamermesh, professor of economics at The University of Texas at Austin, who has been married for five decades, uses CityMaps2Go ($1.99), an offline map and travel guide, when traveling with his wife, as well as IMDB’s free app for movie trivia. “They’re not designed to help your marriage per se, but they’ve saved us a lot of time and argument.”
Reality shows are changing the way you watch TV—even if you aren’t watching reality shows.
Others are skeptical about the usefulness of apps for couples. Carole Lieberman, a psychiatrist in Beverly Hills, says “apps are no substitute for real psychotherapy for relationship problems,” and adds that “there’s no quality control over the so-called love coaches who provide them.” And Joy Davidson, a psychotherapist and author, says, “I honestly can’t think of a single app that actually improves one’s sex life — except maybe Tinder — only because it might help you get a sex life if you don’t already have one.”
Moreover, most of the problems in relationships happen offline, says Nick Drydakis, a senior lecturer in economics at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge. In his own study — published by the Institute for the Study of Labor in Bonn, Germany — he found that sexual activity is negatively affected by issues like work-related stress, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, cancer, and psychiatric and psychological symptoms, while it’s positively affected by good mood (extroverted personalities) and marital status (being married, despite widely held beliefs to the contrary) and growing up in a non-religious home.

But for the technologically savvy, there is some assistance at hand. Here are five apps that could (maybe) improve your love life:
TheIceBreak
This iOS app has the kind of questionnaire you might find on dating apps, but offers daily questions for couples. They focus on a couple’s emotional and sex life: “Do you think it’s more important for a couple to be friends or lovers?” Others are more reminiscent of the questions asked on the TV show “The Newlywed Game” — for example, “What is ‘your song’ with your partner?” Others get to the point: “Can a romantic evening be complete without having sex?” Couples can also share photos and posts on their private virtual walls. It costs $1.99; some reviews complain about technical glitches.

CANNABIS TECHNOLOGIES ANNOUNCES SECOND THERAPY — CTI-091
CANNABIS TECHNOLOGIES ANNOUNCES SECOND THERAPY — CTI-091
Cannabis Technologies Inc. has developed a therapy containing a proprietary mixture of cannabinoids and non-cannabis-based active ingredients, CTI-091, for the relief of joint pain and swelling associated with arthritis and joint disease. Preliminary laboratory studies showed CTI-091 suppresses the human macrophage interleukin-6, a major biomarker of inflammation, indicating strong scientific evidence that cannabis extracts reverse the disease progression.
CTI-091 is designed to enhance retention and absorption of the key ingredients around the target site and designed for the relief of joint pain and swelling.
Currently the formulation is in preclinical stage of development. The company is also working to improve the delivery system to increase efficacy. It is expecting to go to initiate clinical phase 1 trials upon completion of these steps.
Craig Schneider, Cannabis Technologies president and chief executive officer, said: “We are extremely pleased to announce a second therapy in our expanding product pipeline. The pain and arthritis therapy takes our company to the next stage of development, reinforcing the proof of concept of our cannabinoid drug design platform. This platform is designed to effectively identify and fast-track new drug therapies. The company plans to have numerous therapies over the next 12 months within the product pipeline focusing on other areas like metabolic diseases (obesity and diabetes), orphan diseases (Huntington’s and epilepsy) as well as cancer and angiogenesis.”
Pain and arthritis market
More than 46 million Americans have arthritis or a related disease, and some experts estimate the global market for arthritis drugs brings as much as $35-billion a year in profits. The many different types of drugs used to treat arthritis and its accompanying pain include over-the-counter and prescription-only drugs, with delivery methods of injections, infusions, patches and topical agents.

How you’ll know if it’s time for a market crash
Last week, U.S. equities dropped 2{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} to 3{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce}, depending on what index you monitor. That had the financial columns full of crash warnings about the coming plunge. Now to be fair, we have seen these headlines for a while now, so it’s not like they just suddenly began to appear, but the fact that there actually was some selling added a little credence to the crash worries. Sure there were a few voices of reason, but for the most part, the coming declines were all but set in stone as far as most commentators were concerned. But is that really the case? Is it finally time for a crash?
A year ago, almost to the day, I penned a piece here on MarketWatch that outlined the technical structure that precedes a crash. You can read that original column here and the follow-up column as well. Back then, the crash chorus was rising as well. The most important points of the columns were:
-
Market crashes have a technical structure that forms prior to the crash
-
Significant market declines (not crashes) also have the same exact structure
-
The technical structure is a necessary but not a sufficient condition
That last point is a salient one. What it says is that given historical data, large declines and crashes have a structure we can identify, but just because the structure is present does not necessarily mean those declines will be realized.
What is the structure? It is the break of multiple swing points on multiple timeframes across the major indexes and, in case you are wondering, we don’t have that yet . In fact, we haven’t seen that since that piece was penned a year ago. We came close a couple of times — once late last year and again earlier this year, but so far, nothing yet. Remember, even when we do get the breaks and the trend transitions that they imply, it still doesn’t follow that we will necessarily get a large decline or crash — it just raises the possibility and the resultant odds.
So what would it take to get a larger decline at this juncture? If you take the weakest index, the Russell 2000, it would need to decline another 3.7{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce}, which is equal to another decline of equal size to last week’s push lower. that would bring it to the brink.
The same is true of the S&P 500 as a decline of another 3.5{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} from Monday’s closing levels would also bring it to breakdown levels.
Although we can always postulate what may or may not happen, as has been said in this column many times in the past, if you stay on the right side of the market in the short- to intermediate-term timeframes, you don’t have to worry about the long term as you will be where you need to be when you get there. There are far too many variables that affect the long term. There are literally thousands of factors that could come into play between now and then, so quit worrying about it. Just focus on what is in front of you, reduce risk when appropriate (when larger declines have a higher probability of happening) and stay with the trend as long as the trend stays with you.
To even set up the possibility of a larger decline (bear market and/or crash possibility), the markets would need to suffer another loss equal in size to what has been suffered so far. For traders and investors who are more inclined to protect than to risk, the current bounce that began Monday should yield important clues as early as today about whether further declines are likely because many indexes and sectors are in the midst of bearish retest and regenerate sequences on their daily timeframes as seen here on the S&P 500.
If equities cannot trade over and hold above the 1943 area on the S&P 500 for a couple f bars, then either removing some risk or hedging off some of the risk would make sense as that would leave more options on the table should the intermediate term swing points lows are threatened in the coming days.

We still support long, speculative positions, stop-loss at $550.
Bitcoin is still perceived by financial professionals as a possible bubble, a poll by Bloomberg has shown:
Bitcoins, which lost 45{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} of their value after skyrocketing to more than $1,100 last year, are poised to tumble further, according to the latest Bloomberg Global Poll of financial professionals.
55{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} of those surveyed said the virtual currency trades at unsustainable, bubble-like prices, according to the quarterly poll of 562 investors, analysts and traders who are Bloomberg subscribers. Another 14{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} said it’s on the verge of a bubble. Only 6 percent of respondents said a bubble isn’t forming. The remaining 25 percent were unsure.
This definitely shows the future of Bitcoin is not perceived as clear. And it’s not. What Bitcoin will become is still very uncertain. It might turn out to be a bubble. It doesn’t have to, though. There are numerous possibilities to use the network, so the currency is not an empty promise. It doesn’t have to go down in the future. If Bitcoin becomes accepted as a payment protocol by the general audience, we might see its value rise sharply. It’s not certain, but this is part of the investment process.
For now, one of the most important parts in the development of Bitcoin is making it safe for the customer to use. Once Bitcoin startups introduce new ideas for Bitcoin security we might as well see the perception of Bitcoin reversed.
There is also one piece of information that doesn’t support the Bitcoin bubble theory. Namely, bubbles are usually formed on widespread enthusiasm about an idea. For instance, the dot-com bubble thrived on the enthusiasm about tech companies. We don’t see this kind of frenzy in the Bitcoin market right now.
Let’s turn to the charts.
If you recall what we wrote yesterday:
As a matter of fact, Bitcoin has gone up today (this is written after 11:45 a.m. EDT). “Is this bullish enough?” the question might be knocking around hour heads. We’ve asked ourselves the exact same question. Here’s what we think.
This move of appreciation might be first in five days. The slightly more pessimistic take on the market, in which the current trend is established by the declining line ending just below $650 on the above chart, would suggest that we are still below the trend, with a possible attempt at breaking above it.
In other words, the situation might become even more bullish in a matter of days but there also are indications that the move we’ve seen today is not strong enough just yet. The volume levels also don’t support a strong move at this moment.
Caring about your investments as we do, we think that this is not the time to increase one’s positions. On the other hand, the outlook is still bullish enough, in our opinion, to keep the longs.
Bitcoin went up yesterday on BitStamp but has gone down today (this is written before 11:15 a.m. EDT). This confirms the above point of view. The thing you might be wondering about is whether there have been any changes in the market. We certainly do wonder that from one day to another. Let’s address this point.
The move down we’ve seen today hasn’t been significant and the volume remains very low. These are not typical characteristics of a significant move down. Altogether, Bitcoin is still between two hypothetical trend lines (declining black lines on the above chart). The situation remains a bit unclear but the fact that we haven’t seen a significant move down and the recent declines took place on low volume makes us more optimistic than not about the short-term prospects.

Increased Markdowns Hits Margins at Michael Kors
Luxury Lifestyle Brand Posts Strong Results, Lifts Guidance for Year
Industry insiders have said the brand risks overexposure, and fears of discounting hit Kors stock this summer. Bloomberg News
Shoppers continued to snap-up handbags and accessories from Michael Kors Holdings Ltd., but the fashion retailer said increased markdowns were a drag on its retail margins in its fiscal first quarter.
Shares declined nearly 5{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} premarket, reversing course from a double-digit percentage gain earlier in the morning.
The fashion retailer, which has reported robust bottom-line growth recently as demand in its retail and wholesale merchandise grows, has had to fend off concerns that the brand has gone too far with its version of luxury populism.
Industry insiders have said the brand risks overexposure, and fears of discounting hit Kors stock this summer after Barclays BARC.LN +1.09{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} and Citigroup C -1.66{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} published research reports estimating Kors roughly doubled in June the square footage in its stores devoted to discounted goods from a year earlier.
Kors lifted its guidance for the year and now expects per-share earnings of $4 to $4.05 on revenue of $4.25 billion to $4.35 billion. The company had previously guided for earnings of $3.85 to $3.91 a share and revenue of $4 billion to $4.1 billion
As for the current quarter, the handbag maker and retailer said it expects per-share earnings of 85 cents to 87 cents on revenue of $950 million to $960 million. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had expected per-share earnings of 89 cents and $959.5 million in revenue. Kors is also assuming same-store sales growth in the high teens.
Overall, Kors reported earnings for the quarter ended June 28 of $187.7 million, or 91 cents a share, up from $125 million, or 61 cents a share, in the prior year.
Net sales jumped 44{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} to $887 million, while total revenue—which includes licensing revenue—climbed 43{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} to $919.2 million.
The company in May had forecast earnings of 78 cents a share to 80 cents, on revenue of $840 million to $850 million.
Retail net sales jumped 47{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} to $480.2 million, pushed higher by a 24{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} increase in same-store sales and 115 net new store openings since the same period a year ago. Kors had previously forecast a 20{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} increase in same-store sales.
Retail operating margin, meanwhile, narrowed to 29.7{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} from 31.7{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce}, though the drop was significantly smaller than the nearly seven-point decline Kors posted in its fourth quarter.
Wholesale net sales climbed 40{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} to $406.8 million.
North American revenue rose 30{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} to $718.9 million, as same-store sales grew nearly 19{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce}. Revenue in Europe more than doubled to $185.5 million as same-store sales about 54{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce}.

Warning: That plunge in stocks is just the beginning
Investors brace for the return of volatility
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — If the ups and downs of the past week have taught investors anything, it’s that there are cracks in this 5 1/2-year-old bull market.
The lesson for investors? Tread carefully.
Stocks took a tumble as a raft of economic data sparked fears the Federal Reserve could speed up its timetable for raising interest rates. The S&P 500 index SPX -0.29{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} took its biggest weekly hit in more than two years, losing 2.7{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce}. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.42{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} , meanwhile, sliced through its 50-day moving average and erased the gains that had tenuously built up this year.
“It reminded people that the stock market can actually go down. It seems like a lot of people had forgotten,” said Mike O’Rourke, chief market strategist at JonesTrading.
This past week saw a number of economic indicators: a robust 4{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} expansion in second-quarter GDP suggested a resurgence in economic activity, while a jump in a highly-watched wage index was a sign that employee earnings, the holy grail of labor market growth, was finally picking up. Even Friday’s soft jobs report didn’t undo the worries about the Fed.
Bracing your portfolio
Indeed, investors should expect more volatility, not less, as the Fed moves closer to rate hikes, analysts say. The central bank is generally expected to begin raise its key lending rate in the middle of next year.
“Every time we see data really heat up, it will really spook investors and keep a cap on the equity market for the time being.” said O’Rourke.
That’s not to say all market participants are calling for a steep drop. “We see the mid-cycle rally as having plenty of room to run before we get a 10{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce}-plus correction,” said Binky Chadha, a particularly bullish strategist at Deutsche Bank, in a Friday report .

Still, the trepidation in the market may leave it open to the kind of knee-jerk reaction seen on Thursday, when the Dow skidded 317 points for its biggest one-day loss since February.
“A very small impetus can have an exaggerated effect. That may be the kind of market we are in for the rest of the year,” said Scott Clemons, chief investment strategist at Brown Brothers Harriman Private Banking.
Given that murky outlook, strategists are advising caution. O’Rourke notes investors appear to be rotating out of riskier small-cap companies back toward stalwart large-cap stocks.
That’s represented in the relative performance of the Russell 2000 index RUT -0.46{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} , which is more heavily weighted to companies with smaller stock-market capitalizations, versus the large-cap S&P 500. The Russell 2000 is down 4.2{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} on the year, while the S&P 500 is still up 4.2{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} during that time frame.

New Research Shows How Marijuana Compound Can Reduce Tumor Growth In Cancer Patients
Scientists have long known that compounds derived from marijuana have some cancer fighting properties, but a recent discovery demonstrates how exactly one compound may fight tumors.
Published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, the research reveals two previously unknown “signaling platforms” in cells that allow THC, the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis known for producing the “high” sensation, to shrink some cancerous tumors.
“THC, the major active component of marijuana, has anti-cancer properties,” Dr. Peter McCormick, a researcher from University of East Anglia in England and co-author of the study, said in a statement. “This compound is known to act through a specific family of cell receptors called cannabinoid receptors. However, it was unclear which of these receptors were responsible for the anti-tumor effects of THC.”
When the researchers applied THC to tumors induced in mice using human breast cancer cells, the interaction between two cannabinoid cell receptors — CB2 and GPR55 — were responsible for THC’s anti-tumor benefits.
“Our findings help explain some of the well-known but still poorly understood effects of THC at low and high doses on tumor growth,” McCormick added. He emphasized in an email to The Huffington Post that dosage is critical to outcome, since the wrong protocol can sometimes increase tumor growth, he said.
“So, the ideal would be either the purified THC in an effective dose provided by a health care provider to reduce the known cognitive side effects and still deliver the appropriate reduction in tumor growth, or a synthetic homolog that provides the same effects,” McCormack said. He added that the research team didn’t screen all tumors and that some types may not respond to this treatment if they do not have compatible receptors expressed.
The endocannabinoid (EC) system is a communications network in the brain and body that is involved in a number of physiological processes that affect a person’s feelings, motor skills and memory. The EC system is responsive to the body’s naturally-occurring endocannabinoids as well as the cannabinoids found in marijuana, like THC. And scientists have found that the CB2 receptor specifically is sensitive to the therapeutic properties of marijuana-based compounds.
This isn’t the first time scientists have found that marijuana can be effective at fighting cancer. Previous studies have found that THC cuts tumor growth in lung cancer in half and also prohibited the cancer from spreading. THC has also been shown to induce death in brain cancer cells.
But THC is just one of many cannabinoids found in marijuana. Others, like CBD, a non-toxic, non-psychoactive chemical compound in the cannabis plant, has also shown promise in the battle against cancer. Researchers in California found that CBD could stop metastasis in many kinds of aggressive cancer.
In the United Kingdom, a team of scientists found that six different purified cannabinoids — CBD (Cannabidiol), CBDA (Cannabidiolic acid), CBG (Cannbigerol), CBGA (Cannabigerolic acid), CBGV (Cannabigevarin) and CBGVA (Cannabigevaric acid) — showed a wide range of therapeutic qualities that “target and switch off” pathways that allow cancers to grow.
A number of studies in recent years have demonstrated the medical potential of pot beyond cancer treatment. Purified forms of cannabis has been tied to better blood sugar control, and may help slow the spread of HIV. Legalization of the plant for medical purposes may even lead to lower suicide rates.
Currently, the federal government classifies the plant as one of the “most dangerous” substances alongside heroin and LSD with “no currently accepted medical use.”
McCormack told HuffPost that the researchers are moving toward clinical trials but that it would be at least five years before those would begin.

Marijuana, now officially more expensive then gold
Shatter hash and other similar concentrates make up one of the fastest-growing facets of Colorado’s bustling marijuana industry — but shatter, which can be used for dabbing, is also still quite controversial.
Shatter can be dangerous to produce, as many have learned after blowing up their garages or hotel rooms. And it’s also an incredibly potent method of ingesting THC — hardly ideal for the inexperienced pot connoisseur.
Just how popular is shatter?
“At this point gold costs $43.50 a gram,” said Tucker Eldridge, master grower at Nature’s Herbs & Wellness, “and shatter costs $40 a gram off the shelf for medical patients. You add another 30{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} tax to that, and it ends up costing more than gold.”
Shatter can sell recreationally for $60-$90 a gram, Eldridge said in the above video, by Denver Post photographer Joe Amon.
So why do some prefer shatter to flower or edibles?
“If you’re looking for something that’s significantly more potent, has significantly less adulterant plant matter, which is what combusts and produces carcinogens, then shatter hash is going to be more your cup of tea,” Eldridge said. “If you’re not looking for something that’s that potent it can be almost psychoactive.”
