China Aviation Oil Inverted Head and Shoulders Neckline Testing

Expect more testing of the red bold neckline of the inverted head and shoulders formation. Support failure here will see a drop towards 50 days EMA support line. If this support line does not hold a test of low of the right shoulder at $1.57 is next. Conversely, a successful rebound of the neckline will propel price above the immediate 200 days EMA resistance line and test the $1.92 to $1.98 resistance zone. Clearing this resistance zone will push price upwards towards the next resistance at $2.15 followed by $2.40 .

China Energy Shooting Star Closing Below Ascending Triangle Resistance

A closing above the 50 days EMA and horizontal ascending triangle resistance line would have been a bullish signal that boost confidence to breakout above the black downtrend line and head for the next resistance at 70 cents. However. this was not to be as price closed below the 50 days EMA resistance line and the horizontal ascending triangle resistance line forming a shooting star candlestick bar. Immediate support is 20 days EMA followed by 53.5 cents and 50.5 cents.

Nikon DSLR D60

One of the smallest Nikon digital SLRs ever, the D60 makes it fun and easy to take breathtaking pictures while also offering plenty of features for those who want to deepen their interest in creative shooting.

With a split-second shutter response, the D60 captures pictures that cameras with longer time lags miss. Ease of use and creative options both come standard with the D60, whose exclusive Nikon technologies help deliver high-quality pictures with vibrant color and stunning, edge-to-edge detail. Such superior results are achieved through a high-resolution image sensor utilizing 10.2 megapixels, world-famous NIKKOR lenses delivering razor-sharp pictures, and many cutting-edge Nikon features to further enhance your picture-taking experience.

New Insight into the Genetics of Schizophrenia

The findings highlight the role that rare duplications and deletions play in disease.

New research suggests that a number of rare DNA deletions and duplications contribute to schizophrenia, potentially providing a new model for the genetic basis of the disease. The findings also highlight the importance of new technologies that allow scientists to efficiently scan the genome for small structural changes.

According to the New York Times,

Experts said the study, while not identifying the cause of the disorder, provided a striking demonstration of how new gene-scanning technology can open a new frontier in the quest to understand the biology of mental disorders.

While scientists have long known that schizophrenia has a genetic component, pinning down specific genes has been difficult. The new findings may explain why. Researchers compared genetic duplications and deletions in healthy people's genomes with those of people with schizophrenia. They found that these changes were three times more likely to appear in the genomes of people with schizophrenia. But each individual mutation was rare, with some seen only in single individuals or families.

From the New York Times:

The new study suggests that, if anything, the genetics of the disorder are even more complex than many had presumed. But if replicated, experts said, the study's results will significantly alter the course of psychiatric research.

"This paper represents a paradigm shift in the way we think about identifying genes in schizophrenia," said Dr. Matthew State, director of the neurogenetics program at Yale University School of Medicine, who was not involved in the research. "That is what the authors say in the paper, and it's true."

The findings were published online in the journal Science.
