I've removed the word PATCH from the title,since the patch was applied long ago. Bug is still open as there are still some limitations that need addressing
Small update on this one:
page-number-citation-last is currently correctly handled for fo:block, fo:inline and fo:list-block
Does not work yet for:
-> table-elements: ids not processed for table-header, table-footer, table-body and table-row; notifyEndOfLayout() is still called multiple times for table and table-cell.
-> block-containers: AbstractLM.isLast(Position) does not work reliably in this case, as the BlockContainerLM also wraps the auxiliary positions for its children's borders. Result is that the 'last' position in the iterator that the block-container receives during addAreas() is not one of its own. It is given a position index, though, which is greater than that of the last content element, so...
-> page-sequence: to be investigated
Pierre-Henri, I've applied your patch with modifications. See:
Thanks a lot for that and sorry for the delay.
I found a remaining problem with your patch. When a formatting object spans
multiple pages, forward references are not properly resolved. You can see that
in the *_basic.xml test case which I've modified and disabled. It looks like you
didn't entirely get my hint last time. The problem is that addAreas() can be
called multiple times. An example: If a block spans multiple pages, it is called
once for each page it generates area for. Since you notify the AreaTreeHandler
after each call to addAreas (and not only after the last) a forward reference
gets the wrong page number (i.e. the one of the first area). Determining the
last call to addAreas for a formatting objects might be a little tricky, however.
Furthermore, you've only addressed block-level formatting objects and
page-sequence for ID processing, but some of the inline-level formatting objects
can similarly span multiple pages (like fo:inline for example). I don't think
this is critical since you might rarely refer to an inline-level ID with
page-number-citation-last. The most important use case is certainly referring to
an ID from page-sequence to achieve reliable "page x of y" without the "empty
block with ID" hack we've used until today.
I'm leaving the issue open for now.
Ignore the precedent patch, this one applies the same modifications + new ones
Patch Explanation
OK, this is a file to help you understand the changes applied
to the source code to handle the page-number-citation-last
New Data Structures
2 java.util.HashSet in AreaTreeHandler.java :
private Set unresolvedLayoutManagers = new HashSet();
private Set alreadyResolvedIDs = new HashSet();
The role of unresolvedLayoutManagers is to keep a list of
"which formatting objects contributes IDs" as you proposed it.
The role of alreadyResolvedIDs is to keep a list of IDs already
resolved. That role might seems unnecessary, so here's a little
example that i came across while doing the modification :
<fo:block>page: <fo:page-number/>, bof2 is on page <fo:page-number-citation
<fo:block linefeed-treatment="preserve" id="bof3">page: <fo:page-number/>
<fo:block break-before="page">page: <fo:page-number/></fo:block>
<fo:block>page: <fo:page-number/></fo:block>
<fo:block>page: <fo:page-number/> of <fo:page-number-citation
<fo:block>page(-last): <fo:page-number/> of <fo:page-number-citation-last
Withouth the second Set, the problem that we come across is that the
layout of the block with the id 'bof3' is finished before the creation
of the page-number-citation-last layout manager. Due to the construction
of the PNCL-LM, the first step it does is to add the UnresolvedPageNumber
in the unresolvedLayoutManager list (there is no way to known in advance
if the page number can be resolved or not at this point). Each layout manager
is responsible of removing its ID from the unresolvedLayoutManager's list
and, at the same time to call for the resolution of the IDs its possess.
But as the ID of the block of the block layout manager is inexisting in the
list as the PNCL-LM haven't addded yet, it is not resolved when "it should".
The solution that i chose is to add each ID resolved "in advance" in a Set,
that the PNCL-LM will check to see if it can skip the "wait for resolve"
step, so it can immediately be resolved.
I hope that this little explanation helped you to understand the changes.
What have been done -> handling of PageSequence ids and Block ids + Block level
ids (as page-number-citation)
Known limits -> no handling of IDs contained in a root, flow, and the table
related ids : table-header, table-footer, table-body ...
And, i don't know if it's a problem, but when the actual UnresolvedPageNumber
object is resolved, the font associated to it is null (this is due to the
"transient" state of the object i guess...) and the IPD can't be updated (only
the case with PageSequences).
New Code
As explained above.
The source code changes are avail in the patch file.

If you don't mind, I have an additional wish: Testing page-number-citation-last
referencing an id on the page-sequence because that will be the major use case
for it. The most interesting part is then to combine that with a
page-position="last" where the last page is a blank page (see

It's fairly easy to work around.
I am a little surprised you didn't search yourself first to find some answers.
I understand how it works, but doesn't it seem a bit ridiculous that Twitter allows such an easy exploit to be utilized against (mostly) conservatives. Isn't that whole purpose of Twitter to be able to Tweet back and forth between each other? You think, once someone has appealed multiple suspensions, that it would be more difficult to utilize the spam exploit against them?

I love video games no matter the system. Many great games through the years with maybe more letdowns than we like to admit. I remember shopping for Miner 49er for the family Coleco-Vision. My first memory of In Home Video Game Entertainment, was that of PONG and Combat! units(each a nightmare to switch between).
If you were to tell me then that these games would be in a museum and looked at as the "Stone Age" in twenty years. I would have told you to "Is my name Mork and is this the planet Ork?" Well over 30 years later and I have seen it. I have watched those very games become one millionth of a piece of an epic journey through alien invasions. Or a devastating battle with a backwards flying dragon.
With each step forward the platforms gotten smaller and buttons are now a "choice" for some. We have handheld units that display 3d without the use of glasses. Now those handhelds we started with are embarking on that same museum journey. Your first Pokemon game is very well on its way to a hall of fame if not already declared a favorite amongst an early generation of gamers.
With the 360 and PS3 halfway through their lifespan we see some things that were not expected (by many)have come to fruition such as distribution with the lack of hardware licensing (EA V Sega)and the massive consumer support of digital distribution.
I have kept up and participated in nearly every console (missed 3DO) since video games were released for consumer purchase and I am always excited to see what companies have in store for me. I have spent (250) hours in the land of Cyrodiil. As I have thrown many Sackboys.
I cannot help but to throw praise to nearly every company that has anything to do with my favorite entertainment medium.... LONG LIVE VIDEO GAMES!!!!!
I remember the first game I've ever played was Contra on the NES when I was only 3 years old. Yeah I know young.
Even though I always Lagged behind in game consoles during my younger years with me being born in 93' but I still managed enjoying my NES, Snes, Genisis then got my Ps1 in the middle of it's cycle.
Gaming is no doubt my favorite hobby and it's changed so much over the years it's overwhelming. We keep seing innovation upon each new release like the addition of multiplayer on home consoles and motion gaming. Gaming will always evolve and I always see myself playing them.
Games were not as story driven as they are these days and it makes the experience so much better, and makes you actually care for characters.
<Gamer Of Nes, Snes, Genisis, Ps1, Ps2, Ps3, Xbox, Xbox 360, Dreamcast, Psp, Gba, Gbc, Wii, and Pc>
<3 Gaming <3
I've been gaming for 30 years. I haven't always enjoyed some of the changes. Took me years to tolerate voice acting in games. But regardless of whether I liked the changes or not, they're here and gaming is still my biggest passion.
The first game I can remember playing was Revs, a racing game on the BBC Microcomputer along with Elite and Academy on Spectrum. I think my dad regretted letting me play them as ever since then I haven't looked back. I love games. They are my passion and i'll stick with them through thick and thin.
My favourite memories are of the late 90's on PC with games like Baldurs Gate, Half Life, Thief, Deus Ex, Commandos and Total Annihilation all emerging as stone cold classics. And Hexen. I frelling loved Hexen.
Been gaming now for maybe 18 years or so. (I am 19 years old) I was practically born with a sega megadrive controller in my hand, playing the likes of sonic the hedgehog and streets of rage before I could even walk.. And yes, pokemon has taken a ridiculous amount of time out of my childhood.
I wouldn't go back and change it if you gave me £100,000. It is by far, the best form of entertainment.
My fondest memory as a child was taking turns playing River Raid on the Atari 2600 with friends, we'd sit and play that game for hours on end. Sadly that kind of game wouldn't hold the attention of the more recent gamer for a nanosecond. I despair sometimes when posters on this site complain about graphics, they really don't know how lucky they are.
For all those old enough, remember multiplayer games consisting of your triangle sprite shooting little lines at your mates different coloured triangle sprite, good times.
I agree, right now is a great time to be a gamer, I just wish people would stop arguing about sales figures.

Fossil leaves yield extinction clues
Analyses of fossil leaves provide more evidence that the mass extinction that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago was sudden and probably brought about by an extraterrestrial impact.
The demise of the dinosaurs coincided both with a major extraterrestrial impact and massive volcanism in India. Both of those events–one sudden, the other unfolding over as many as 2 million years–would have dramatically influenced Earth's climate by pumping carbon dioxide and other gases into the atmosphere. Some scientists have proposed that volcanism alone was enough to have caused the extinctions.

It's quite possible that the Christian Brothers Academy and Fayetteville-Manlius girls basketball teams could meet at an important spot in the Section III Class AA playoffs a few weeks from now.
If so, then both sides could take something out of the Brothers' 52-43 win over the Hornets in Friday night's opening round of the Central Square Coaches vs. Cancer Tournament.
For CBA, it was a near-perfect first quarter, a 20-2 blitz that saw its defense suffocate the Hornets and Leanne Ockenden find her golden shooting touch.
For F-M, it was how the rest of the game turned out – a long, steep climb to reach the Brothers that nearly proved successful.
Try as it could, though, the Hornets could not fully erase the permanent mark of those first eight minutes.
Whether it was rushing shots or having the ball swiped away by various CBA defenders, F-M constantly found trouble, forcing head coach Scott DeForest to use three different time-outs to try and settle his players down.
The Brothers were all too glad to cause this consternation. It scored the game's first 14 points, 12 of them from either Ockenden or Ellen Voorheis. Then Ockenden punctuated the period with back-to-back 3-pointers.
F-M had to settle down if it wanted any chance – and it did, slowly eating away at CBA's huge lead in the second quarter as the tempo slowed down, which made the Hornets feel much more comfortable.
By halftime, it was 29-16, and though Ockenden, with 17 points, had outscored the entire F-M roster, she would struggle in the second half, giving the Hornets the opening it needed.
Late in the third quarter, CBA saw the lead shrink to seven, 33-26, before Ockenden hit a deep 3-pointer (her only field goal of the half) and Michelle Wiese, with the shot clock winding down, banked in a 3-pointer of her own to move the margin back to 39-26.
That still didn't deter the Hornets, who spent the final quarter inching closer behind Ali Pliszka, who had 16 points, including a pair of 3-pointers. When Alexis Rios hit a driving lay-up with 1:07 to play, F-M was within five, 44-39, and it was a two-possession game.
But Victoria Johnson, who had six points in the fourth quarter, hit a jumper seconds later to seal the win. All night long, Johnson, Michelle Damico and the rest of CBA's front line contained F-M's leading scorer, Emily Trapani, holding her without a field goal until the fourth quarter as she had just eight points, not even half her average of 16.5 per game.
In Saturday's final, CBA would face Liverpool. The Warriors beat host Central Square 48-29 in the other half of the opening round.
The Brothers would beat Liverpool 56-37, doing much the same thing it did to F-M – namely, bolt way out in front in the first quarter, to the tune of 19-4.
Liverpool closed within single digits (27-18) early in the third period, but CBA answered with a 12-2 run that, capped by a Voorheis 3-pointer, put the game out of reach.
Ockenden, who finished with 17 points, earned tournament MVP honors, while Voorheis (16 points) joined her on the All-Tournament team. Katie Webster added 10 points. No Liverpool player had more than seven points.
F-M, meanwhile, beat Central Square 48-36 in the consolation game, using a 14-6 spurt in the second quarter to take control. Trapani got 11 of her 19 points at the free-throw line, while Bri Dolan had seven points and Rios got six points.

Nature always beats nurture
Rearing a daughter and a son has convinced Suzanne Harrington that boys will be boys and girls will be girls
We may be coy about our baby's sex when it's still inside us, but once the newborn has popped out, so has the secret. What did you have, people ask? It's a girl! It's a boy!
And so begins the tsunami of pink or blue. The rush to stamp a gender straight on to your infant is intense, and if you resist, everyone else will do it for you. Colour-coded cards, toys and babygrows become a daily reminder of difference. Resistance is futile.
Unless, that is, you just don't tell anyone whether your newborn is a boy or a girl.
You've probably heard about the thirtysomething Toronto couple Kathy Witterick and David Stocker, who have a four-month old named Storm. By not divulging Storm's sex to anyone except their other two kids, a trusted friend and the midwives present at the birth, the couple have indeed caused a storm. A big one.
In an email to their families, they wrote: "We've decided not to share Storm's sex for now -- a tribute to freedom and choice in place of limitation, a stand up to what the world could become in Storm's life -- a more progressive place?" (Sex is what you are biologically born with; gender is what society imposes on you in relation to your sex).
They've been castigated as "reprehensible" and "immature". Some 89pc of people polled by US talk show 'Today' disapproved of what the media has termed a 'social experiment'. As a liberal Canadian friend of mine put it: "I really admire those parents for what they are trying to do, and yet it kind of sounds like child abuse."
Witterick and Stocker have two other children, sons aged five and two called Jazz and Keo, who have not been exposed to gendered ideas of what boys are supposed to look like, and so are frequently mistaken for girls as they choose colours outside the boy palette.
Stocker teaches at an alternative school and was influenced by a children's book by Lois Gould called 'X: A Fabulous Child's Story', written in 1978. It's about a non-gender-defined child who is popular among their peers and overcomes adult prejudices.
The book outlines what lies ahead for baby Storm. The problems that face the fictional Mr and Mrs Jones, who are conducting an 'Xperiment' in defining their child as an X, might well be those that Stocker and Witterick will have to tackle.
On his first shopping trip, Mr Jones tells the store clerk: "I need some clothes and toys for my new baby." The clerk smiles and says, "Well now, is it a boy or a girl?"
"It's an X," Mr Jones says, smiling back. But the clerk gets all red in the face and says huffily, "In that case, I'm afraid I can't help you, sir".
"The strong, lightning-fast vitriolic response was a shock," Witterick wrote to ABC news, insisting that Storm's sex was not "a secret" but "private". "The idea that the whole world must know our baby's sex strikes me as unhealthy and voyeuristic."
Stocker made it even plainer: "If you really want to get to know someone, you don't ask what's between their legs."
Hmmm. There are two issues here. First, gender is a crucial part of identity from very young childhood onwards, which makes refusing to acknowledge it detrimental to the development of a child's sense of self.
The second issue is how gender identity has been hijacked by market forces to such a degree that in the post-feminist West, the artificial pink-princessing of female children and the bam-bam-bam of boys' toys seem to have overtaken Janet and John-style traditionalism in its man-made gender delineation.
In a bid to keep my kids -- a girl and a boy -- away from the passive princess/aggressive computer-games menu served up from the moment they can be propped in front of a screen, I sent them to a Waldorf Steiner school. No telly and rationed DVDs allowed them to develop gender identities without being screamed at by big businesses eager to colonise their unformed brains.
At school, they did baking, woodwork, knitting and gardening. During playtime, the girls often sat around making daisy chains and the boys often ran around chasing each other with sticks. But not always, and not exclusively.
I have never consciously stereotyped. My kids do household chores in relation to ability, rather than gender. Both tidy their rooms, both feed the pets and both clear the table.
But I have learned that: groups of boys run around more than groups of girls; girls huddle together more than boys; and that while identity is far more about the individual character of the child than gender, gender is still paramount.
There is no such thing as an X, once a child recognises him- or herself as a separate being and no longer an extension of the mother.
I have witnessed my son tearing around brandishing improvised weapons while wearing a tutu on his head as a fearsome headdress; to him, it really was fearsome. Equally, my daughter had no idea that pink was "for" girls until she was four; her Barbie phase was brief and she has always hated shopping.
However, there are some preferences which I believe can be innate. When there are gangs of kids at my house, our two dogs are subsumed into their imaginative play in entirely different ways. The girls do up the dogs and enter them in imaginary shows, while the boys employ them as fierce beasts who act as props in their war games.
The imaginative play of girl groups -- and this is only in my experience -- is social situation based and quite contained, while the imaginative play of boys, which is equally complex in structure, requires more space.
"Of course gender identity matters," says psychologist Oliver James, author of 'How Not To F*** Them Up'. "But actually, it is more to do with the projections of the parents ... they need a son or a daughter. At a very deep unconscious level, which comes from your own history of siblings and parents, you have a script."
Even in rare cases of gender identity disorder (a girl stuck in a boy's body, or vice versa), the child will still be drawn to one gender or the other. X does not exist.
One of my daughter's female friends, who is 12, has worn boys' clothes -- including underwear -- since she was old enough to express a preference. She is a girl who identifies as a boy, not as a neutral being.
"Hardly anyone says they have no gender, or both genders," says James. "I'd lay money on it that even people who anatomically have both reproductive kits will think of themselves more strongly as one gender over another. Social identity has to come from somewhere."
James maintains that while the obvious disadvantage for a genderless child would be playground teasing, there is also the fundamental question of identity; crucially, what you are to your parents.
If you don't relate to your child as something -- whether it's a boy, a girl, a tomboy, a mummy's boy, a girly girl, a little man, a girly boy, whatever -- then how can the child construct their sense of self, if they have nothing mirrored back to them?
Imagine trying to think of your child as just a child, rather than a boy child or a girl child. Go on: scrunch your eyes tight and really try to imagine them as shop-dummy neutral. Impossible, isn't it?
"Of course I think of my baby as 'she'," says my sister, the mother of one-year-old Zara. "To me she is totally a girl." Yes, but how? "She just is," insists my sister.
This isn't about pink -- it's about my sister's unconscious script, the one James mentioned, which denotes 'boy' or 'girl' deep inside her head.
While James is very clear that many of the so-called brain differences between males and females is what he calls a "grotesque overstatement", he is equally clear that boys and girls are not identical.
"Anyone who has children will realise that the idea of a genderless child is a lot of politically correct nonsense," he says. "Little boys and little girls are different."
Just not as much as we have been told for thousands of years by the patriarchy, and now by marketing departments. My children are constructed of separate gender identities, despite my efforts not to pink or blue them. During their pre-school years, from the ages of zero to three, I dressed my baby girl mostly in dungarees and bought her a mixture of 'boys' and 'girls' toys, and stood well back as my baby boy played with the frillier stuff in the dress-up box.
Yet she would create complex social situations with her dollies, while he would bash his on the floor until their heads fell off. Now she is 10 and he is seven, and she is all about horses while he is all about football.
I have taken her to football matches and watched her, eyes rolling, texting her friends to tell them she wished she was dead. I have marched my son to the local stables, only for him to sulk and tell me over and over again how bored he was and how stupid horses are.
I suspect part of these preferences are peer related -- if all her friends were like the girls from 'Bend It Like Beckham', she might be more tempted on to the football pitch; if all his friends were horse mad, my son might not be so dismissive of the equine world.
"Gender-identity pressure is greater than it has ever been thanks to commercial forces," says Sue Palmer, author of 'Toxic Childhood and 21st Century Boys'. "This gender identity divide begins at birth via marketing directed at parents. Never has the divide between pink girly things and blue/black flashing gizmos for little boys been so relentless.
"Parents who work hard on the anti-pink thing are often amazed at thechange in their little girls once they go to nursery -- the peer pressure to conform ismassive, and stems entirely from market forces rather than anything inherent."
Websites such as Pink Stinks rail against the princessing of girls. The site was started by Abi and Emma Moore, twin sisters born in 1971, who have two children each -- two boys aged four and seven, and two girls, aged four and eight.
"What we noticed was all the stuff that was starting to fill up our houses, and how for the girls it was pink princess castles, prin-cess dressing-up clothes and glittery make-up," Abi says. "We're not criticising the choices of children or their parents but the non-stop marketing and advertising aimed directly at kids. Creating two separate markets -- one for boys, one for girls -- means double the profits."
Natasha Walter, in her book 'Living Dolls: The Return of Sexism', trashes the arguments written up as fact in the right-wing media -- experiments by developmental psychopathologists such as Simon Baron-Cohen about how male infants stare longer at objects while female infants stare longer at faces has been offered over and over again as definitive proof of this 'new determinism'.
Elizabeth Spelke, a world leader in child cognition at Harvard, is having none of it: "It is astonishing how much this one study has been cited, when the many studies which show no difference between the sexes, or a difference in the other direction, are ignored."
In other words, men -- and women -- are still protecting the status quo of the patriarchy, these days via spurious science. But why do we still hang on to traditionalism? The truth is, I have no idea why women would ever want to prop up the patriarchy. Except that, to some degree, we are all still a bit brainwashed.
Like many women of my generation, I have been careful not to shove either of my children down any traditional gender cul- de-sacs. If my son wanted to dye himself pink and run away with the fairies, or if my daughter became a rugby-playing truck driver, they'd have my support. So long as they are nice people, that's all I ask.
While my children swarm around in a mixed gang of mixed-age children, they still display separate gender traits which I respond to individually.
How different from 1970s Ireland, when men were men and women were disempowered. Your choices were nurse, teacher, secretary or hairdresser, all ultimately leading towards wife/mother.
These days, our children are freer to be what they want to be, because although the patriarchy is alive and well and earning far more than the frazzled, juggling matriarchy, children in the post-feminist era face less pressure to conform to gendered traditions than before.
Unlike our mothers' generation, women are not being hot-housed for automatic marriage and motherhood; some 25pc will never have children. Boys can be ballet dancers or nursery workers and still be boys.
The situation is still far from perfect. At home, children still see mummy as the toilet cleaner and daddy as the go-to guy, or mummy as the toilet cleaner/bread winner, and daddy as the long-gone guy.
This is despite an alleged crisis in masculinity, which everyone is dying to pin on mothers because a mother's place has always been in the wrong: "It may be that persecution of mothers is a permanent feature of patriarchal societies, but at the end of the millennium, contempt for the mother seems to have assumed a new dimension," noted Germaine Greer in 'The Whole Woman'.
But really, any masculinity crisis has its roots in skewed notions of masculinity itself, which is passed from generation to generation through inequality. When men soften out and take on half of all childcare, only then will this gender thing iron itself out. Meanwhile, we have well-meaning gender experiments being acted out on unsuspecting Canadian babies by parents whose primary motivation seems to be something as simple yet radical as challenging the gender status quo.
And until we desist from complying with market forces so forceful that little girls are being processed into passive princesses and little boys into pint-sized assassins, the brainwashing will continue, creating future generations of passive nurturers and active go-getters, delineated from birth according to what's between their legs.
It's enough to make you scream. Enough, even, to make you resort to daft Xperiments to remove your kids from the whole dreary process entirely.

Dr. Hsiu-Ying "Lisa" Tseng has been charged with second-degree murder in the Los Angeles County overdose death of three patients. The Rowland Heights physician allegedly prescribed certain powerful drugs to patients even though they didn't need the medications. (Tseng is also charged with 20 counts of prescribing meds to people despite a lack of medical need.)
The Drug Enforcement Administration has been investigating Tseng for some time now. In 2010, authorities raided her office because they suspected she might be illegally selling prescription drugs to patients and that this practice may have resulted in at least one suicide and eight overdose deaths. The medications in those deaths had either been directly prescribed by Tseng or came through a dealer from her
At the time, the general osteopath denied any wrongdoing and she wasn't charged with any crime. However, the DEA did take away her ability to prescribe medications that were addictive, contending that Tseng had written more than 27,000 prescriptions in three year and, in many instances, had failed to conduct examinations. Now, the Osteopathic Medical Board of California is taking action to take away her license.
"Doctors must exercise care that they don't overprescribe, under prescribe, or prescribe the wrong medication to a patient," said Howard Law, PC Partner and Los Angeles Medical Malpractice Attorney Vincent Howard. "Whether the prescription-related medical negligence was accidental or an intentional way to make a profit, the medical professional should be held liable."
Unfortunately, there are doctors that their position of authority by prescribing drugs that they shouldn't be giving to patients. Just recently, the California Medical Board recently disciplined Fullerton doctor Jeffrey Dell for allegedly improperly prescribing a "dangerous" drug to a patient with whom he was sexually involved.
Dell is accused of sexual misconduct with someone that he first had sex with two months after he prescribed the drug Xanax for her. At the time, she was going through the dissolution of her marriage. According to legal documents from the board, Dell continued to prescribe "controlled substances" and "dangerous drugs" to her and lied when she submitted a written complaint about him by claiming that he'd never engaged "non-professional physical contact with her."
If you believe that medical misconduct or mistakes by your physician, nurse, or other medical professional caused you to sustain serious Los Angeles County injury or a loved one's death, you may have grounds for a civil lawsuit. Due to the nature of the work that they do, medical personnel will often have intimate access to a patient's body or mind, and it is their responsibility to provide a certain level of care and refrain from abusing that access and/or profiting from it.
"Our personal injury law firm is experienced in proving medical negligence and holding negligent parties liable via settlement or through the courts," said Los Angeles Medical Malpractice Attorney Vincent Howard.

Golf courses are good places to take it easy and enjoy the outdoors and friendly competition with friends. There are times when a reckless player, defective golf course maintenance, or an unsafe path can cause injury.
If a reckless driver causes a golf cart accident, an injured passenger can be compensated by the driver's homeowner insurance policy. Other golfers who are hit by the cart can also file a claim for negligent driving.
Did a golfer fail to yell "fore" to warn others on the course? If you were hit and seriously injured by a golf ball, talk to an Utah personal injury attorney about compensation for a golf ball head injury.
If a defective sprinkler system flooded a path causing a slippery hazard, an injured golfer may have a premises liability case against a negligent landscaper. A dangerous path or a poorly maintained landscape can cause injury. If it does, call us, tell us about your golf course accident, and we will explain your options.

Santa Fe, New Mexico (PressExposure) August 12, 2011 -- Waxlander Gallery and Sculpture Garden in Santa Fe announces In Living Color, an exhibition of new paintings by Colorist painter, Sharon Markwardt.
Sharon Markwardt has a degree in Fine Art, and as the daughter of an artist, has always created things. However, a major shift in her work occurred in 2005 when she began riding horses in her 40s. Alone after a bad fall, she managed to climb back on, and it gave her a new sense of courage and boldness. Sharon moved from watercolor to oils, her color perception altered, and the subject matter was suddenly colorful, Western and Equine. "Everything clicked. I'm only half-joking when I say my horse threw me into western art!," Sharon says with a laugh.
Cowboy boots are a common theme in Sharon's work, perhaps because she is fourth-generation Texan. In addition to their interesting forms and often-wild colors, they offer a symbolic message about the American West and the pioneer spirit.
"To me, they represent boldness and self-sufficiency, an independence from the need for the approval of others. The stark, minimalist backgrounds I favor refer to the unknowns and dangers that constitute life, through which we must boldly stride," says Sharon.
She also enjoys exploring other subjects like ranch animals, and their interactions with each other and with people. Sharon perceives their personalities, and frequently seeks to express that "soul" with humor. She feels very fortunate to be able to see her neighbor's longhorns from her studio, and to have horses, dogs, and a miniature donkey in her own backyard.
Sharon's paintings demonstrate her belief that good composition and strong design are crucial to painting, as is good draftsmanship. Tight cropping encourages the viewer to focus on the areas that fascinate the artist, who allows the subject matter to determine the format of the painting. Her unusual color usage causes the same image to appear much more realistic when viewed from afar.
We invite you to join us for In Living Color from October 4th through October 17th, with an artist's reception on Friday, October 7th, from 5 - 7pm.

|Dendrobium Orchid
DENDROBIUM - Spray Orchid
Dendrobiums are among the most commonly encountered orchids in the retail trade. Like most other cultivated orchids, dendrobiums are epiphytes, or air plants. They have well-developed water-storage organs (pseudo bulbs), often called "canes" for their upright. leafy appearance. They should be potted in porous, free-draining media.
There are many different types of dendrobiums available to the specialist grower. However hybrids involving Den. phalaenopsis are what you will most often encounter. (Don't confuse this with Phalaenopsis orchids. Den. phalaenopsis is not a hybrid of Dendrobium and Phalaenopsis. Instead, it is one of many hundreds of species of Dendrobiums that resembles a Phalaenopsis Orchid.)
LIGHT: Provide bright light, even as much as 50% sun. Place near an east, west or thinly shaded south window.
TEMPERATURE: Provide night temperatures of 60-65° and day temperatures as high as 80-90°. Higher temperatures are tolerated if humidity and air movement are increased. Temperatures below 50° may cause leaf drop.
WATER: Keep evenly moist while in active growth. Allow to dry between waterings when growths are mature.
HUMIDITY: Provide between 50-60% humidity. Low humidity can be increased by using humidity trays or a humidifier.
FERTILIZER: Food should be provided during the active growth period. Water weekly with a balanced fertilizer mixed at 1/2 the recommended strength. After canes mature, stop feeding nitrogen. This will help the plant begin the bloom process.
REPOT every 2-3 years before the mix breaks down. Use a well-drained mix and a pot that will accommodate the roots and still allow for a year's growth.
Dendrobiums are occasionally available at certain holiday seasons in 4" or 5" clay pots.

RHYL and Bangor City have shelved controversial plans to leave the League of Wales and join the English pyramid system.
The Lilywhites' proposal to enter the North West Counties League next season was followed by Bangor balloting supporters over whether they should also play in England.
But yesterday both clubs announced that they would remain in the League of Wales for at least one more season, a decision warmly welcomed by the under-fire Football Association of Wales.
Bangor supporters voted two-toone in favour of remaining in Wales, with club secretary Alun Griffiths insisting the matter would not be discussed again until the end of the season.
And Rhyl - whose chief executive Peter Parry last week said he wanted the club to play in the English pyramid to ultimately achieve Football League status - also said it would consider the proposal again.
"While we have no intention of resigning from the League of Wales immediately, we're committed to our 10-year plan to play at the highest level open to us," said a club spokesman.
Griffiths said that Bangor wanted to concentrate on its league and cup campaign before discussing its long-term future again.
But he said, "It doesn't look like we'll be leaving the League of Wales because of the ballot and the fact we're probably better off staying where we are rather than joining the English system.
"However, the reason we considered leaving was because of the lack of sponsorship available in the League of Wales.
"All clubs are finding it hard financially and the sooner the FAW gets to grips with this the better."
According to league rules, any club wishing to resign from the league must give notice of their intention by tomorrow.
League of Wales secretary John Deakin said he was delighted Rhyl and Bangor had decided not to do so.
"I feel their reasons for considering going back to the English system are possibly flawed," said Deakin.
"There's no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. And the three Welsh clubs playing there - Newport, Merthyr Tydfil and Colwyn Bay - are no closer to achieving their goal of league football than they were 10 years ago.
"It is down to myself and the board of directors at the FAW to address the discontent among clubs in the league to make sure this issue doesn't rear its head again."
But the FAW will be hard pushed to stop a full-scale rebellion unless more money is made available to clubs and a sponsor is found for the League of Wales.
"That is something we're working hard on and we're confident a sponsor will be in place for next season," said Deakin.
"But a sponsor isn't going to be the answer to every club's financial problems - even if we get £200,000 a season that's only going to be around £10,000 a piece."

Patriarch condemns Pope's 'virtual visit' to Russia
The head of the Russian Orthodox church condemned a live video link on Saturday, in which the Pope lead young people in prayer in the Roman Catholic cathedral of Moscow. Patriarch Aleksiy, said the event amounted to a "virtual visit" by the Pope to Russia. The broadcast was also screened in Athens, Budapest, Strasbourg and Valencia. But the Patriarch said it amounted to an "invasion of Russia". During his speech he referred to the Polish occupation of Moscow in the early 17th century. Hundreds of young Catholics attended the service at Moscow's Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception on Saturday evening. The BBC reported that many were in tears as the Pope appeared on screen. There are an estimated 600,000 Roman Catholics in Russia, among a population of some 148 million. Many of them are ethnic Poles, Hungarians and other nationalities. The Orthodox church strongly protested to the Pope's visits last year to Kazakhstan and then the Ukraine, where there is a bitter wrangle over church property. The Moscow church threatened to cut ties after the Vatican announced in February that it was seeking to create four fully fledged dioceses in Russia. Saturday's broadcast looked in doubt at one point when Russian airport officials delayed television equipment coming through the airport.

Dr Anne Barnes will present to all interested parties on Friday 28 April 2017 a lecture titled "Administering Sonic Shock in Samson and Delilah" from 4-5pm.
Relevant details are as follows:
Date: Friday 28 April 2017
Time: 4pm - 5pm
Location: School of Optometry and Vision Science, AOP Seminar Room Level 2 Room 2.030 North Wing Rupert Myers Building Gate 14 Barker Street UNSW Sydney NSW 2052
Presenter: Dr Anne Barnes
Title of talk: Administering Sonic Shock in Samson and Delilah
Abstract: This paper explores and focuses on a series of visual and sonic shocks that occur in Warwick Thornton's film Samson and Delilah (2009). Gilles Delueze in Cinema 2, uses's Bergson's concepts of 'recollection image' and 'world memory' to investigate the perception of time and memory. In The World and the Home, Homi Bhabha discusses the 'uncanny voice' of the 'unhomely', heard at the point where home and world become intermingled.
Using Delueze and Bhabha as a starting point and incorporating interview material from Thornton and sound designer Liam Egan, this paper investigates how the soundtrack of Samson and Delilah releases a series of shocks administered by the play between sound and image. For the audio-viewer, history and memory are open to question; another shock, a dream, an audible contested site is open to interpretation.
This paper argues that in Samson and Delilah, the audience is not bombard with information, instead the carefully constructed sound and image tracks are specifically designed to instigate emotional jolts, to create unease and to bring to the fore questions about representation, history, memory and diaspora.
Short biography: Dr Anne Barnes lectures in screen studies at the New York University Sydney campus and has taught film and media studies at the University of New South Wales. Working as a sound professional in both the New Zealand and Australian film industries, she has been nominated, and won awards for, both her location and post-production sound work. Her most recent publication, 'Administering Sonic Shock in Samson and Delilah' in, Australian Screen in the 2000's, Palgrave Macmillian, is due for release in October 2017. Anne is currently researching the history of the Australian film sound industry and working on the Sounding Bodies Project.

Economics of Intelligent Selection of Wireless Access Networks in a Market-Based Framework: A Game-Theoretic Approach
The digital marketplace is a market-based framework where network operators offer communications services with competition at the call level. It strives to address a tussle between the actors involved in a heterogeneous wireless access network. However, as with any market-like institution, it is vital to analyze the digital marketplace from the strategic perspective to ensure that all shortcomings are removed prior to implementation. In this paper, the authors analyze the selling mechanism proposed in the digital marketplace. The mechanism is based on a procurement first-price sealed-bid auction where the network operators represent the sellers/bidders, and the end-user of a wireless service is the buyer.

I was at the overlook all day last Saturday. It was a slow bird day. Very slow. The counters counted 50 birds compared to the 8,000 something two days before. It was slow.
So what happens on slow days? We make connections with visitors. We find out where people are from. We tell them about all the birds that come here (except today, because it is a slow day). We find out if they have been here before and we help them use binoculars to see the fake owl because it feels like that's all there is to see. But that isn't really true.

|Right before the Sharp-shinned Hawk release.

Slow days also give us time to appreciate tractor parades and Belgian horses. You just never know what is going to show up at Hawk Ridge - maybe it's raptors, and maybe it's not.

Say No to Competition/Jealousy - Blog
10 Habits of Happy Mothers- Habit #4 Say No to Competition
This week in Mom2Mom we discussed the issues of competition and jealousy. The world we live in coaxes us to compete with other women. Marketing and social media influences the way we feel about ourselves, and the decisions we make for our children.
Question #1. What competitive voices are shouting to you as a woman to be all that you can be and have it all?
Meg Meeker suggests we often compare ourselves to other women in the areas of weight, figure, clothes, neighborhood we live in, number of children, employed full or part time or stay at home mom just to name a few.
Question #2. In this day of the frenetic mother culture, what competitive voices are you hearing which influence the opportunities you desire for your children to get ahead? How does this affect your family life?
Meg Meeker suggests the decisions we make on behalf of our children affects the way we spend money, how we express love based upon expectations, behavior and successes, how simple or complex our family life is and even how we practice faith.
Stop and examine your feelings you have toward other women. Are you sizing up the choices she is making? What about the life she has? Are you critical? Do you find yourself competing, thinking you need that or want things based on what others have? Do you make decisions for your children based upon what other moms are doing?
Competing with other women affects us negatively in three profound ways: it ignites jealousy, it keeps us in a constant state of restlessness and it affects our relationships with others.
Five Ways to stop Competition and Jealousy and Make the Habit Stick
1) Recongize jealousy and don't be fooled
The problem occurs and jealousy spirals into a sin when we begin to compare and start to whine and are not content with what God has given us. This is a destructive behavior and the feelings will continue until we choose to stop. Jealousy begins with discomfort as it makes you feel inadequate- irritation-critical- aggitation-anger- and then a desire to gossip finding fault. (Proverbs 14:30)
2) Head competition off at the pass
Jealousy and competition with other women accomplishes only one purpose and that is to take us down. When we are jealous of another woman we often feel the need to change or improve to be more like her. Desperation follows and we become consumed with angst. Recognize the feeling, be specific, say it out loud and confess the sin. Seeking the help of a Godly friend is often helpful. (I John 1:9)
3) Give frequent verbal applause
Saying nice things, complementing other women for the attritubes you admire, and encouraging women creates relationships which are healthy and uplifting. Jealousy goes away and relationships grow. Choose to say no to jealousy-confess your sin-praise God for how He made you just how you are-and then complement women for the things they do well through God's power. (Ps. 51:10-12)
4) Focus on the fullness not the emptiness
Happy people are thankful people and fun to be around. Rarely do happy or joyful people complain. They focus on the positive. Competitive women focus on what they don't have. (Ps. 100:4, James 1:17) What fills the spaces of your mind? (Luke 6:45) When you are focusing on the emptiness, make a list of all the things you are thankful for starting with the eternal and moving to the earthly blessings.
5) Be diligent in kindness
Choose to stop being so wrapped up in your feelings. Just because you feel it doesn't make it true? Do kind things like make a call, send a card or e-mail, take a meal to someone in need, offer to drive other's children, listen to other's needs. Acts of kindness increases our love and and improves relationships. (I Pet 4:10, Gal 6:10)
Conclusion: "If we can recognize our value as mothers and treasure everything we do have in our lives, we are complete and can enjoy other mothers for who they are. We can let friendship thrive and let real joy enter our lives." Meg Meeker pg 82
Praying for you, Laura Rawden Mentor Mom

Sydney, Australia (PressExposure) August 13, 2013 -- Think Big Online releases Shocking Secrets that SEO Companies Hide from You - the Ultimate Buyer's Guide. The guide is a great resource, released free of cost. It speaks about the Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) industry's lesser known, yet highly important information about how Google and Bing rank websites.
Australian digital marketing agency Think Big Online has released a free report into critical aspects of Search Engine Optimisation on its website. Titled Shocking Secrets that SEO Companies Hide from You, the firm has called it 'the Ultimate Buyer's Guide' into SEO.
Among the variety of diverse digital marketing services offered by the company are Search Engine Optimisation. This service is highly critical in managing a website's visibility on the Internet. Search engines like Google and Bing are highly competitive online arenas, as many websites are constantly vying for visibility. SEO can make the online branding difference by driving more traffic to a website on the basis of search engine rankings.
Additionally, Search Engine Optimisation is also critical to online reputation. People or companies can be targeted with negative content, damaging their reputation. This in turn will impact their sales and overall brand image.
However, while reputations can be destroyed quickly online, it is hard to establish and achieve a level of credible online visibility that drives traffic and sales for individuals and companies, fostering the need for SEO.
As Think Big Online mentions on the Shocking Secrets that SEO Companies Hide from You page: "The hardest part about Search Engine Optimisation is knowing exactly what changes need to be made to your site, how many links need to be built and how much fresh content added...This is why most business owners opt to work with a firm which specialises in SEO. This way they know they are working with people who live and breathe SEO."
Think Big Online has, in the past authored a variety of other reports about the digital marketing sector. These offered the best insight, gleaned from years in the digital marketing industry. Available free of cost, they can all be downloaded in PDF format from the site.
Conveniently placed in the Resources section of the Think Big Online website, they share space with other relevant offerings from the company, including Videos and Online Marketing Courses. The compact free ebooks include the authoritative '2012 Online Marketing Insights & 2013 Predictions' and '5 Essential Tips For Starting a Social Media Account'

The State Department is publishing in the April 11 Federal Register a final rule amending the International Traffic in Arms Regulations to implement the Defense Trade Cooperation Treaty between the United States and Australia. This rule also identifies via a supplement the defense articles and defense services that may not be exported pursuant to this treaty. The new regulations will be effective upon the entry into force of the treaty, and State will publish a notice in the Federal Register announcing that date.

MIAMI -- Florida Marlins left fielder Josh Willingham could be sidelined another month or more because of a herniated disc that has kept him out since April 27.
Willingham, who was also hampered by back trouble last season, underwent an MRI Monday in Los Angeles and was examined by orthopedist Dr. Robert Watkins.
"He's the Dr. James Andrews of backs," Willingham said Tuesday. "He told me it was a herniated disc, which is the same problem I have had. But I felt better seeing him."
Willingham said Watkins told him his back needs to be strengthened, and it will be 10 days to three weeks before he can resume baseball activity. A three-week layoff would likely mean it would be at least mid-June before Willingham rejoined the lineup.
Watkins didn't rule out surgery as a last resort, Willingham said.
When sidelined, Willingham was batting .341 with six homers in 25 games. The Marlins signed outfielder Jacque Jones on Monday, and he may join the team this weekend after a stint at extended spring training.

|More [Interviews]
Dan McAvinchey: Eric, let's get right to it, when did you first get interested in guitar, and how did you progress as a player?
Eric Loy: I saw The Beatles on Feb. 9, 1964 and that was the impetus to play. I did not take lessons, but played incessantly non-stop transcribing LP's on the record player. First, it was just rock, then classical, jazz and then avant garde.
Dan McAvinchey: The Beatles seemed to give a lot of players the inspiration to take up the guitar. Was your CD "What I'm Doing" self-released, or did you try to find a label that would work with you?
Eric Loy: I've been recording since the late seventies. My newest album, "What I'm Doing", was released October, 2015. Years ago, I shopped major record labels, but have always just went ahead and released them on my own and have made a living.
Dan McAvinchey: How would you describe the music found on your many album releases?
Eric Loy: My albums are solely instrumental. Sometimes, it's with a jazz/rock fusion trio of guitar, bass and drums. Often, it's solo classical guitar or harp-guitar. Style-wise, it ranges from Chet Atkins type fingerpicking to Michael Hedges type tapping with various tunings to jazz.
Dan McAvinchey: Which of the tracks from "What I'm Doing" do you enjoy playing the most?
Eric Loy: All of them, because I like jazz to classical to rock, so I can't choose just one!
Dan McAvinchey: Are live audience performances on your monthly agenda?
Eric Loy: Yes, for the last twenty years, I've usually played a dozen gigs a month.
Dan McAvinchey: Are you using any social media sites to promote your CDs and music career?
Eric Loy: No, not too much. I have ericloy.com and my albums are for sale on CD Baby.
Dan McAvinchey: From a publicity and promotion standpoint, what do you find is working best for you at the moment?
Eric Loy: A lot of word-of-mouth leads to my procuring gigs and selling albums. One gig leads to another. I do mail out promotional placards to venues, though.
Dan McAvinchey: What do you now find to be the advantages and disadvantages of being an independent musician?
Eric Loy: You can be true to yourself and not compromise musically, artistically, or morally. I really see no downside to being independent.
Dan McAvinchey: Other than guitar-oriented music, what kind of music do you like to listen to?
Eric Loy: I dig jazz and classical (and Baroque) without guitar, like Dave Brubeck, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, J.S. Bach, Henry Purcell, Maurice Ravel, etc.
Dan McAvinchey: Finally, what's up next for you?
Eric Loy: Well, The Lord willing, I'll keep on composing, recording and gigging until my final day. I've done it for 51 years now and like Pablo Casals, I feel I'm improving.

Finding knowledge on this issue is the first thing to do when solving this problem. Fortunately, many options are available when the loss of hair is the concern. In this article, some great tips will be given to help with your hair thinning.
To properly cope with hair thinning, you could try using a wig. Choose your wig before losing all your hair, so you can select a color that matches your hair. This also allows you to be prepared before your hair has all come out.
If you want to reduce hair thinning, be sure to add ample protein to your diet. A lot of foods such as fish, poultry, eggs and nuts can give your body a lot of protein that you need. This in turn will supply your hair with its own protein, keratin. With an influx of keratin, your hair will resilient and stronger; you will be able to effectively slow the loss of hair.
Do not comb wet hair. Wait until you have towel dried your hair and then allowed it to dry the rest of the way naturally. Wet hair follicles are particularly susceptible to damage. You may also see the rate of your hair loss increase if you continue to brush while wet.
If you have been taking any anti-depressants, watch out for blading. Many people find that their hair falls out while they are taking anti-depressant medicine; this is due to the ingredients these medications contain. Talk to your doctor and inquire about changing your prescription to one which doesn't cause the loss of hair.
If you find out as much as you can about hair loss treatments, you can be aware of what are in them and what the ingredients do. Once you have completed your research you may decide on a more expensive, yet more effective option.
Talk to a professional about symptoms and the treatment options available. It is important to get professional advice before starting any hair loss treatment. You could have an underlying condition or other life factors causing you to lose your hair. You need to get a professional opinion before doing anything else.
These remedies are not very effective in slowing or preventing thinning hair, and if you believe otherwise, you are sure to be disappointed. It is very possible that they will succeed, but there is also a chance that you just end up out of money without seeing a difference in your hair growth.
A great way you can work to re-grow hair, and also prevent the loss of hair, is to massage your scalp regularly. Massage your scalp with oil to augment the effects of the massage on your hair follicles.
Meditating can help you cut down on stress, and cut down on lost hair. If you are under a great deal of stress, you end up with constricted blood vessels in your scalp, and that may cause you to lose your hair. You may be less likely to lose your hair if you meditate, it helps the blood get to your scalp.
Vitamin B12 in inherent in many foods. You can take a supplement, or you can absorb it through meat consumption, such as poultry or beef.
Some documented causes of short term blading include anemia, illness, operations, stress and extreme changes in weight. The temporary loss of hair typically starts 3 months after an event and typically occurs for roughly 3 months. Keep this in mind and use this information to design a good treatment.
Researching the subject of hair loss is a smart solution in learning how to tackle this problem. There are many options that many people aren't aware of. The tips offered are just a sample of what can be used to combat hair thinning. Lots more wait out there for anyone who is looking for them.

Sewage spill in St. Pete
Hours after Mayor Rick Kriseman praised the resilience of his city's improved sewer system, the city spilled 430,000 gallons of partially-treated sewage on Monday afternoon after Hurricane Irma moved north.
A faulty sensor in a holding tank at the Northeast sewage plant, 1160 62nd Ave NE, became stuck, falsely showing partially-treated sewage at levels below what was really in the tank.
The sewage eventually spilled over the top of the tank until workers noticed at 4:35 p.m.
The partially-treated sewage was contained on the plant's property.
The plant's biological processes for breaking down sewage were disrupted during the spill. Workers hope to have it fixed by 12:30 p.m.
During the storm, under 19,000 gallons citywide spilled from lift stations that had experienced power disruptions.
Clearwater had a power-related 1.6 million gallon spill during the storm. And smaller spills occurred thorughout Tampa Bay during Hurricane Irma, according to the state Department of Environmental Protection.
Below is the city's news release:
Approximately 430,000 gallons of partially treated wastewater overflowed from a holding tank at the Northeast Water Reclamation Facility at 1160 62nd Avenue NE. The spilled water had less than the state-mandated chlorine residual of 1.0 milligrams per liter for disinfection.
The spill occurred between 4:00 and 4:35 pm on Monday September 11, 2017 during operations to hold and then re-chlorinate the water that had gone through full treatment before being released into the reclaimed water system.
While the plant was experiencing post-storm power interruptions, a faulty float sensor in the tank indicated that there was still room for additional water, but in fact, the tank was overflowing. Once workers noted the issue with the faulty sensor and detected the spill, it was stopped.
The spill was contained on the plant property and none of the water went into any water body.
The wastewater plant's biological process was disrupted causing the plant to struggle to maintain the 1.0 mg/l chlorine residual. Plant operators anticipate resolving the problem by 12:30 pm today. We are disposing the low-chlorine residual water through the injection wells at a rate of 500,000 gallons per hour as of this morning.

Anyone here dabble in crypto-currency or the soon to be "decentralizing-of-things"?
There are some really interesting projects being worked on, like sia, which uses a decentralized blockchain to store files on the uber cheap -
another project I find interesting is Golem - the only thing I dislike about this one though is how they use rendering as an example of something that would benefit from decentralized computing, which I disagree with - I can't really see cpu's from across the globe on everyone individual computers being able to render an image appropriately, especially using something like max, but w/e, it's a really awesome idea :)
Golem's site
This one, Steemit, is like Reddit, but you can earn money and use a blockchain without ever knowing its happening... When I first started using Steemit, 'Steem" coins were only worth about 20 cents... now one coin is around 2$ per and the user base is growing pretty quickly
Just wondering if anyone has any knowledge to share, or any interesting projects/currencies being watched?

Yo! Yeah, I'm really into Crypto. Got quite lot invested in there atm in different projects. Golem is a good one, I also saw that SONM had their ICO which is another super computer project, raised $42m!
I'm in quite a few atm including: Ark, Shift, Wings, MobileGo, Wagerr, Particl, Aragon, Patientory, Lbry...

Coxy what do you think of EOS?
I'm still trying to figure out what makes a currency valuable... sometimes I just don't get it - for example, there's a currency called "Useless Ethereum Token" and it's worth nearly 10 usd per token lol...
I was only introduced to Bitcoin a few months ago, as far as actually buying and trading, etc. Here's a list of cryptocurrency if anyone is interested:
As far as the basics go, I'm not sure about all the currencies that you can actually buy stuff with. Bitcoin is becoming more and more popular, for example you can buy a Tesla with it. Elon might also accept Ethereum, but I haven't looked into it.
TenX is new and is essentially a debit card you populate with Bitcoin and Ethereum, and can be used to buy anything I think - on their website they show the creator or w/e buying Starbucks with the TenX card -
I'm just in it for trading right now, ie buy low sell high... I spent 40 bucks on like 300k mooncoin when it first came out lol, maybe in 10 years a mooncoin will be worth a dollar! :P

I missed the boat on bitcoin, I was offered coins in 2010/2011 for about 5 bucks and passed on it.
As far as mining on a single computer, it's pointless unless you have a gpu farm, the block will only give you a very small percent of a coin, you'll use more electricity cost than your coin cost.

Rose 31 Solid Perfume
A model of its kind: alternating feminine/masculine with the disturbing ambiguity of the Centifolia rose, quickly picked up by a chorus of warm, spicy and woodsy notes such as cumin, olibanum, cedar and a touch of amber... In the background, the sensuality of Gaïac wood and cistus highlighted by animal notes, give this perfume a disconcerting sense of mystery.
- alcohol free, phthalate/paraben free formula is a wax (made of sweet almond oil, coconut oil and soybean oil)
