People Power Part 2 (10/11)
The People and Programme days run back to back, so you can spend a full weekend with us, with accommodation provided at Scout Park, and the opportunity to cover some additional learning. Socialising and sharing experiences with others are an essential part of our courses.
Scouting is a very people focused organisation, so we have grouped together the four modules that deal with teamwork, leadership, inclusion and recruitment into one very stimulating day.
Part 1 will help you understand the policies of The Scouts that encourage inclusion and to consider how, in your role, you can help make Scouting more accessible. It will also provide effective methods that will help you recruit both adults and young people to enable your group to operate at its optimum size. (Modules 7 & 13)
Part 2 explores models, tools and techniques that will help you to be an effective leader of other adults and young people. It also explores the importance of good teamwork in building a strong leadership team. (Modules 8 & 9)

Utterly useless observer on the scene this morning. Surely someone more helpful (DP?) is here too. But this is what I see:
11:00 am:
Everyone is here, except for Huskins.
11:15 or so:
Nitty looks bored. Not so active during down times as Nemo. Perhaps he is engaged in some very subtle stretching exercises.
The Joes get the most smiley prize this am.
They are all on the ice before 11. They engage in drills too involved for me to follow. There is a pattern, I just cannot discern it. Also, McLellan's words are fairly well muted by the glass and echoes. There is a great deal of movement up and down the ice.
Oh, lines, right. Same old of lately: 19, 12, 16/ 39,29, 15/8,20,17/ 21,10, 55. I know those are probably listed in the wrong order but that's roughly the order in which I spotted them.
On D, Braun w/ Demers, Wallin & White, Boyle and Pickles? Even if you swap Murray for Braun, those don't make a lot of sense. For all I know, they are playing on different practice teams. See opening disclaimer.
The team did a drill that even I could understand. Everyone shoots, one at a time. The goalie stops it, everyone goes for a little skate. If they score, the goalie switches and does a little skate.
I mention that because Nemo caused lots more skating than Nitty did. Nitty did end the drill by stopping a couple but he was less than inspired.
They end practice in small groups, the largest of which is shooting at Nitty. Oops, now they're shooting at Nemo. That focus on Nitty did not last very long.
They are shooting at Nitty again, and Mitchell and Welly are playing a variation of catch. I notice this because Welly keeps shooting the puck at the door in front of me. The sound that makes is louder than a shot hitting a wall. Not sure why you would practice high distance shots but that seems to be their objective.
Still on the ice: Nichol, Demers, Braun, Eager, Desi, goalies.
Loitering about: Mayers, Couture, Mitchell.
12 noon:
Couture & Demers gathering pucks, leaving. Eager off too.
12:03: all off. My fanny is frozen. Oh. Not off? Come on, Woo Sharks, and Nemo. I think you can go now. Is this a game? Who leaves last?
No, they are scraping the ice around the net, Nemo and the Woo Sharks are up to something.
Dern my butt's cold. Forgot my blanket. Oh thank god. They are not up to something, Woo Sharks are gathering pucks. Nemo is chatting with… Must be the goalie coach there. Doing something just for Nemo.
Aha. Nemo is practicing catching the puck on the boards. On his right. I don't see him whining about being tired or over worked.
Just sayin', Fly Boys. To be fair, no Flyers are whining. That's just speculation from confuddled observers.
Nemo practicing catching the puck along the boards, left side.
Finally Nemo rounds up the pucks, filling his glove to the brim like a basket of blackberries. He pauses to chat with someone at the bench, (Come on! Cold tush here!) then goes to tend the waiting autograph collectors.
I will not forget my blanket again.

Living On The Beach
There are many perks to Cornish living, but none are as evocative as the pull of the ocean. People travel here, move here or stay here to be as close to the beach as possible. And for most, even those of us that live here, we get the opportunity to actually plonk our houses within a stone's throw of the beach. And there's nothing like having the beach on your doorstep.
Even as we write this, in the post-Christmas wait for spring, we still love the beach. Wrapping up and taking a stroll along a deserted beach is a uniquely invigorating experience.
There's no excuse to be bored either. Ever. The beach is an adventure playground for children and even if you're just sitting on the beach, that's a perfectly fine way of whiling away the hours.
Living by the beach awakens all the senses: there's nothing like the sound of lapping waves. As you're lying in bed with the window open, the reassuring sound will soothe you to sleep, it'll be there to accompany you as you have a lazy morning coffee and it'll be a soothing soundtrack to reading a novel in the afternoon. There's also no better smell than fresh, salty sea air. It's air that has been cleansed by miles of ocean, instead of towns, cities and A roads. And even if you stayed with us for a month or more, you'd never get tired of the sunsets and sunrises painting the sky different shades of pink, purple and orange, or of looking at the deep blue sea melt into the horizon.
Our cottages are all self-catering. It seems a bizarre thing to mention in a post about the beach, but what better kitchen to have than the beach itself. Every day can be a barbeque day, and with a little creativity, you can still get those greens in.
That's why we at Cornish Holiday Cottages feel privileged to be able to offer you some fine self-catering holiday homes only a hop, skip and a jump from sandy shores. Below is just a sample of our Cornish beach side cottages.
Little Nest
Little Nest is a romantic cottage for two perched on the edge of Maenporth beach. Despite its generous views of the beach and its open plan living space, it is a snug and well insulated cottage, even in winter. A fantastic romantic retreat after skimming stones, rock pooling or sauntering along the coastline.
Carrick Treath
Sitting at the northern end of the Carrick Roads and boasting luxurious furnishings and ample space, Carrick Treath is perfect for large groups. If you choose the right room you can even wake with the ocean just beyond your toes. Otherwise there's the floor to ceiling windows of the living area to admire the view of Loe Beach from.
Perched just above the beach at Helford Passage, Ridifarne is a large home that sleeps eight in its four expansive bedrooms. It's less than a minute from a beach just perfect for launching kayaks and rowing boats from.
Chy-An-Dour and Rose Cottages 1, 2 and 3
We love being able to offer four seperate cottages in the tiny fishing hamlet of Durgan. They are all cottages that would have been owned by working fishing families who would have dragged their boats onto the shore and practically up to their front doors. Chy-An-Dour is a large, recently refurbished cottage with open beamed ceilings and plenty of character, whilst the 3 Rose Cottages, built in an L shape, all ooze old Cornish charm and are perfect for dog loving families.

Armin Strom Pure Resonance Edition for Only Watch 201908-November-2019
Clear Design
Armin Strom carefully upholds the craftsmanship and tradition of Swiss watchmaking while pursuing technical innovation. A pared-down approach that keeps the brand's style of watchmaking focused on its essence. How concentrated that style may be, shows the unique piece created for Only Watch by squarely placing emphasis on the watch's most remarkable feature: the visible dual balances oscillating in resonance. The groundbreaking movement is housed in a 42 mm stainless steel case with reduced lugs and crown and practically no bezel, though the characteristic lip at 6 o'clock remains.
Roman numerals dominate the off-centered blue sunray subdial of the timepiece, displaying hours and minutes with the in-house manufactured steel hands, while a classic railroad track marks the exact minutes. The smaller seconds dial at 7 o'clock has the same coloring as the famous charity auction corporate colors from this year's edition and uses a baton-shaped hand in steel.
"Based on our patented Resonance movement we used a small detail for a big cause: The two different blue tons on the dials create a magical synthesis of the power of colors and cutting-edge Haute Horlogerie. We wanted to create something which is instantly recognizable," says Claude Greisler – Co-Founder of the manufacture.
This unique piece can focus fully on precisely providing the time. The time displays receive their portioned energy from the lower regulator, while the upper regulator remains in place to create resonance for improved chronometric precision. The two beating hearts are synchronized and stands as a symbol and expression of support for the research on Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The Caliber ARF16 showcases the resonant regulators and playful patented resonance clutch spring. The bridges are hand decorated with succinct, eye-catching côtes de Genève which appears in straight lines.
The Only Watch Auction
Armin Strom is particularly keen to dedicate their work to the Monaco foundation, as they emphasize: "We are proud of being able to make our contribution to research into Duchenne muscular dystrophy through this cooperation." The Only Watch auction gives prestigious names in watchmaking an opportunity to put their expertise at the service of a good cause once every two years. At the last event of this kind, record takings of 10.7 million Swiss francs were achieved. On November 9th, 2019 all eyes will once again be turned on Geneva when unique timepieces by more than 50 watch brands will be presented in an exclusive auction.

Hello Autumn
I live in Kent, The Garden Of England. And Autumn hasn't yet come by here. It's biding its time, waiting. And all of us are waiting back. All of us who long for the the season of browns, golds and berry. Us folk, who simply prefer forrest walks, crunching through fallen, crispy leaves as the chill that hangs in the air surrounds us. Us who have waited for the scent of suncream to fade into the memories of 'the summer just gone'. Us who are desperate to pack away the sandals and say goodbye to the sunshine so that us, the typically British, can get on with starting to miss it, instantly. But I think I saw it… Last night! I think I felt it brush past me as I was walking home. I pulled my burnt, orange cardigan closer to me and watched it dance with the leaves, as…View Post

Playing with a heavy heart, Kenny Cooper wanted to do something special Saturday.
Cooper hoped to honor the memory of former Red Bulls captain Claudio Reyna's 13-year-old son, Jack, who died Thursday of cancer. After going nearly two months without a goal, the New York striker headed in two scores in a 2-0 victory over the Philadelphia Union.
"Claudio has always been a personal hero of mine," Cooper said. "It's obviously a very sad situation. I wanted to do something to pay tribute to Claudio's son. Hopefully, I was able to honor him."
Cooper scored one goal in each half in a span of 15 minutes, both by using his head, something he rarely does.
"I don't recall the last time I scored with a header," said Cooper, who has 13 goals, second in the MLS to San Jose's Chris Wondolowski, who has 17. "But I have to give credit to my teammates. I was right outside the goal and the quality of the passes was perfect."
Cooper scored for the first time since May 23. The Red Bulls (11-5-5) remain undefeated at home this season, improving to 7-0-3. The Red Bulls are the lone MLS team without a loss at home.
Cooper, who did not start Wednesday's game against Chicago, scored off a pass from rookie Connor Lade in the 43rd minute, then added another header off a fine feed from Thierry Henry in the 58th minute.
Lade had two assists.
It was the second straight shutout victory for Bill Gaudette, who made two saves in place of injured starter Ryan Meara. Gaudette has started three straight games with two wins and a tie.
Philadelphia (6-10-2) had its best scoring chance in the first half when Josue Martinez got behind Red Bulls rookie defender Jonathan Borrajo in the 40th minute. Martinez burst past Borrajo, who was making his first-ever MLS appearance after entering the game in the 16th minute when Brandon Barklage strained his right hamstring. Martinez fired a shot that Gaudette stopped with his right arm.
Barklage's injury further hampered the Red Bulls' back line. All-Star Heath Pearce was out with a hamstring injury, along with Rafa Marquez and Jan Gunnar Solli.
Philadelphia played without forward Freddy Adu, who did not accompany the Union to New Jersey for what interim coach John Hackworth called a "team matter."
"Freddy's a fantastic player, but he wasn't here today," Hackworth said. "We can debate it if we missed him or not. But we just didn't make the play when we had the chance. It was our ninth game in 27 days and we didn't have our normal energy."

Goldman Sees Ukraine Default in July as Debt Standoff Holds
by Elena Popina Natasha Doff
June 25, 2015
Ukraine will miss a bond coupon payment in July, setting off a default on about $19 billion of debt, as a standoff with creditors shows no sign of abating, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
The government is unlikely to resolve a disagreement with its creditors on its debt-repayment plan in the coming weeks and will probably issue a moratorium before a $120 million coupon payment comes due on July 24, analyst Andrew Matheny wrote in a research note on Wednesday. Ukraine is giving creditors a few weeks to accept a proposal that includes a 40 percent writedown to principal before it imposes a debt moratorium, a person familiar with the talks said on June 19.
"Ukraine will not make the July 24 coupon payment and, as a result, will enter into default at that point," Matheny said of his base-case scenario in the report. "We do not expect the ad hoc committee to accept Ukraine's latest restructuring proposal."
Members of the committee, the government and the International Monetary Fund will meet in Washington next week as the crisis lender weighs whether to issue the next slice of a $17 billion loan to Ukraine. The IMF said earlier this month that it can keep supporting Ukraine even if it stops servicing debt held by private bondholders.
Templeton Plan
A creditor group led by Franklin Templeton that holds about $9 billion of Ukraine's debt reiterated on Wednesday that its proposal, which uses maturity extensions and coupon reductions to save Ukraine about $16 billion over four years, is the best way forward. The group has opposed Ukraine's insistence on a principal writedown.
The bond on which the coupon is due, a $2.6 billion note due July 2017, climbed 0.39 cent to 49.78 cents on the dollar by 1:30 p.m in Kiev. The securities have risen 12 cents from this year's low on March 25.
Goldman's Matheny reiterated his view that a principal writedown is necessary for Ukraine due to rising debt-to-GDP levels and slowing growth. The nation's debt burden will rise toward 100 percent of GDP this year, from the IMF's most recent forecast of 94 percent, he said. The IMF last month deepened its forecast for how much Ukraine's economy will shrink in 2015 to 9 percent.
Ukraine's offer to creditors to tie restructured bond payments to future economic performance would allow bondholders to profit from any upside if economic indicators outperform, Matheny said. That might allow the two sides to reconcile their differing views.
A proposal issued to Ukraine last month by the creditor group includes a similar GDP-linked instrument, a person familiar with negotiations said on June 12.
"We expect bonds to reflect economic fundamentals more closely, as the market begins to assess the pricing of these potential new instruments," Matheny said in the report.

The antitrust verdict that threatens to break up Microsoft or impose other restrictions spooked many investors today, sending the shares down $15.38 to $90.88, a whopping decline of nearly 15 percent. Shares rebounded somewhat in after-hours trading, to $92.81.
Today's drop had some analysts urging investors to buy Microsoft stock now, while the price is depressed. Investors may hate uncertainty, they say, but it also creates buying opportunities for those who are patient.
"It's a great time to buy Microsoft stock," said Mark Corcoran, research analyst at D.A. Davidson in Portland, Ore. "The antitrust verdict doesn't change the fact that Microsoft is hitting all four cylinders...Money is going to start pouring back into the company, especially from institutional investors, and it's best to get in before everyone else."
Whether Microsoft stock is a good investment now depends on whether you're a short-term or long-term investor.
For short-term investors looking to make money within the next six months, the specter of sustained litigation and negative publicity makes Microsoft as risky as a newly public e-commerce company, some analysts said.
They added that day traders and others who may need to liquidate their investments in the upcoming weeks and months should monitor their Microsoft holdings continually. They should treat the shares as they would a high-risk overseas firm or e-commerce company.
"If you're a trader, get out," warned Terry O'Brien of Branch, Cabell & Co. in Richmond, Va. "In fact, you missed it. You should have gotten out yesterday."
Microsoft's woes helped spark the largest point decline ever for the Nasdaq composite index. The 348-point plunge shaved about 8 percent from the value of the index; it has slipped more than 16 percent since its March 10 record.
Meanwhile, the Dow Jones industrial average gained 300 points--a remarkable climb considering that it also was weighed down by Microsoft and Intel, which were added to the venerable index of 30 stocks late last year. Shares of Intel dipped $1.31 to $130.63.
Microsoft stock still has significant downward potential, some experts warn. Analysts' estimates vary, but many agree that it could hit as low as $75, depending on U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson's verdict, released today.
If the judge's words are harsh and suggest an eventual dismantling of the company, the stock may dip to $75 or lower, some analysts said. If the judge's words are relatively lenient, the stock may surge. The price could also fluctuate dramatically based on evolving interpretations of the judge's verdict.
The result: several months of extreme volatility for what was once a bulwark of investment growth.
"I wouldn't consider it a value play yet," O'Brien said. "If I'm a short-term investor, I would wait a little while to see what's going on and to see how the results of the ruling shake out."
John Puricelli, senior technology analyst at A.G. Edwards in St. Louis, Mo., is enthusiastic about the long-term payoff. In November, when Jackson found that the Redmond, Wash.-based company unfairly dominated the software market and stifled competitive innovation, Puricelli changed his recommendation on the stock from "maintain" to "accumulate."
"At that point, we felt all the negatives were on the horizon and that all findings of fact would be negative. We thought they'd lose a settlement," Puricelli said. "But that doesn't change the long-term earnings growth. It's going to be 30 percent (per year) forever."

The new software is intended to give the company a bigger slice of the huge market for business computing. The product's early sales success put to rest criticism that it wasn't reliable or easy to use. Microsoft has said it received an "extremely low" number of calls asking for help with the new system--much lower than for any previous Microsoft operating system.
Norman Fuchs, senior technology analyst at M.H. Meyerson & Co. in Jersey City, N.J., puts the stock at $120 per share within a year. He has a long-term "buy" rating on Microsoft, though he could easily see the stock falling another $10 or more in the short term.
During the past decade and a half, few public companies have performed better for stockholders.
For example, $10,000 invested in Microsoft stock in December 1986 would be worth about $2.7 million today. The company went public in March 1986, selling 2.8 million shares for $21. Accounting for numerous stock splits, those shares sold for the equivalent of about 15 cents.
The most visible rise has been chairman and co-founder Bill Gates. According to a ranking last year by Forbes magazine, Gates was worth $85 billion.
No. 2 on the Forbes list of the wealthiest people was Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, with $40 billion. Steve Ballmer, the company's president, was ranked No. 4 with $23 billion.
But Microsoft has competition as a millionaire's minting ground.
Stocks in hot properties specializing in business-to-business online commerce have outstripped shares of Microsoft, which is increasingly seen as part of the technology sector's old guard. And the antitrust verdict and subsequent litigation has tarnished the market's brightest star of the mid- to late-'90s.
Analyst William Epifanio of New York-based J.P. Morgan said the Department of Justice trial will translate into a "long waiting game" for investors, who will eventually win.
"We believe time is on Microsoft's side," Epifanio said. "We remain optimistic about the strength of Microsoft's products and improved market conditions moving forward."

Citizen Science at Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, NY is seeking instructors for January 2019. Citizen Science is an innovative program designed to provide opportunities for students in their first year of college to develop their personal science literacy through hands-on, real-world coursework and projects. We ask…
- What does it mean to be scientifically literate?
- What is the role of citizens when it comes to weighing in on important scientific issues?
- How can citizens find the scientific information they need in order to meet the challenges they face in their lives and respond to the scientific issues of their day?
- What are the skills we all need in order to adequately and thoroughly interpret scientific claims, and how can we be sure that the conduct, analysis, and interpretation of science are not unduly influenced by political or other potentially distorting factors?
Inspired by stories from places like Flint, MI, and Hoosick Falls, NY, the 2019 Citizen Science program will tackle urgent, present-day questions related to water. We will explore the properties of water, as well as how these properties influence the contamination (and decontamination) of drinking water. We will also consider the extent to which problems of contamination are not purely scientific in nature: where and how does politics enter the picture? In what ways are social, historical, and political factors at work even when we think we are engaged in "objective" science? Using laboratory investigations and active classroom discussions during these few intensive January weeks, the focus will be on the creation, analysis, and interpretation of scientific evidence.
Successful candidates will possess or be near completion of a Ph.D. or equivalent in a STEM related discipline and be willing to engage students of all disciplines in a common educational experience. No specific background in the science of water is required. Prior teaching experience is not a requirement, although candidates with evidence of training in or experience with the application of best practices in undergraduate STEM education will be given special consideration.
All hired faculty will be required to attend training at Bard College campus July 22- 27, 2018 for mandatory faculty training. Faculty will be required to arrive to campus for the Citizen Science program the first week of January for pre-program work. The program runs through Friday, January 25, 2019. Travel, food and dormitory housing will be provided for both the July and January sessions, and faculty will receive a stipend payable at the end of the January session.
Applications will be considered on a rolling basis beginning on Wednesday, April 4, 2018. We will give preference to applications received by Monday, April 30th. Submit completed applications through Interfolio.com at: http://apply.interfolio.com/49848 . Please include the following:
- Your current CV
- Three letters of recommendation (see link above for information on Letter Writers)
- A letter of interest specific to this unique program which gives a sense of your philosophy on teaching and pedagogy as well as your approach to diversity and inclusion. We particularly invite you to address the four cornerstone questions of the program as represented at the beginning of this document.
All applicants must be authorized to work in the United States, and are responsible for determining their own eligibility. Applications received after April 30th will be accepted and considered on a rolling basis until all positions are filled. Bard College is an equal opportunity employer and we welcome applications from those who contribute to our diversity.
Bard College is a private liberal arts institution with approximately 2,000 students, located in New York's Hudson River Valley. Additional information about the Citizen Science program can be found on our website: http://citizenscience.bard.edu/.

After enjoying a Devils win at Staples Center, we looked for a place for dinner. I briefly researched some places near our apartment and The Factory Kitchen looked really good, so off we went!
The trattoria-style restaurant in a reclaimed factory space turns out traditional Italian fare and handmade pastas in the heart of Downtown LA's Arts District. When we walked in, the place was packed and we didn't have a reservation. Luckily, two seats opened up at the bar just in time.
After taking a seat at the bar, I knew I wanted to get a cocktail. The Thyme To Go had thyme-infused Plymouth gin, green chartreuse, rhubarb bitters, orange and proseco.
Everything on the menu sounded great. We decided to share a couple pastas and a couple other dishes. I really wanted to try their Mandilli di Seta. The thin handkerchief egg pasta was covered with a creamy ligurian almond basil pesto. Simply amazing!
The other pasta we ordered was the Casonzei which was egg pasta filled with veal, sausage, beef, and cured pork with brown butter, sage, and Grana Padano – a hard, slow-ripened cheese similar to Parmigiano Reggiano. Another fabulous pasta creation!
My friend also wanted to try the Porchetta. It's always nice to dine with friends who also love to eat and try different dishes! The mouthwatering crispy tender roasted pork belly had aromatic herbs, braised fennel, carrots, red onions, and celery. It was incredible!
We also decided to order one of their housemade focaccias. We went with the Fiori & Funghi which had crescenza, pioppini mushrooms, zucchini blossoms, ligurian olive oil, and Italian parsley. Freshly made and hot out of the oven, it was divine.
To say that we enjoyed our dinner at The Factory Kitchen is an understatement. It was absolutely phenomenal! The service was enthusiastic, cocktails were great, and the food was wonderful. It was time to walk around the block for our distillery tour!

Women in Eighteenth-Century America: A Study of Opinion and Social Usage
Women in Eighteenth-Century America: A Study of Opinion and Social Usage
The purpose of this study is to show certain aspects of the position of women in eighteenth-century America -- in theory and in fact. Such a treatment of theoretical material is almost of necessity confined to women of the upper and middle classes. Advice offered women presupposed at least a bare competence and the opportunity for a conventional education however meagre that might be. Few writers, if any, concerned themselves with the appropriate accomplishments or peculiar moral duties of women of laboring families or on the frontier. Letters and journals written by women themselves usually represent educated and leisure classes; hence our knowledge of women in the lower ranks of society is relatively incomplete and offers a wide field for further investigation.
The first six chapters of the essay deal primarily with the theoretical aspects of women's position. When education attained any considerable proportions it was inextricably bound up with theory. For this reason it has seemed best to treat most phases of feminine education in the section on theory though individual schools often represented actual attainments as well as ambitious plans. The material selected for the study of the European background represents only a portion of the literature on the subject in England and France, but it is that part known to have been available in eighteenth-century America through reprints and importations, or to have been read and discussed by Americans. Comparatively little attention is given to the European background of the ideas of the Mathers and their contem-

Well, the election is over. It was a bloody match and it looks like it will take months for our nation to heal. But one thing that's still intact is my relationship with my boyfriend.
I told him from the beginning that I would NOT discuss politics no matter what. He tried to get me to talk about it too. He would craftily mention little things he'd seen on the news or little talking points that the candidates had been discussing.
One time he came right out and asked, "Who are you voting for?"
But I stood my ground. I refused to discuss the election. "Look," I said, "we can talk about you farting in bed or me using your razor to shave my legs. But we are NOT discussing the election."
So, I'm happy to report that my relationship with my BF is still great. In fact, he texted me last night, when everyone knew that all was lost for Hillary and said, "It's looking better. She could still win." He said this even though he doesn't really like her. But he said it to make me feel better.
Regardless of what side you were on, say or do something that makes someone feel better. Don't rub it in their face! Don't twist the knife in their back. Be kind. Just this once, say or do something unselfish!!! That's how our nation will heal … if we start to forgive, let things go, care, pray for each other. Things will start to get better if we can just learn to be kinder and more forgiving.

Ten decades back, Bitcoin appeared as the very first cryptocurrency. A whole lot has happened since that day — we'd love to have a look back at a few of the big events in that period of time.
Ahead of the cryptocurrency narrative started
The concept of owning an electronic money isn't a brand new one. Before cryptocurrencies, many efforts at producing you've taken place. The principal difficulty most of these were confronting, was that the double spending issue. An electronic advantage somehow has to be useable only once to reduce copying it and efficiently counterfeiting it.
Over 10 years earlier cryptocurrencies, the notion was released by pc engineer Wei Dai. In 1998, he published a newspaper where he spoke"B-money". He discussed the concept of a digital money, which might be delivered along a bunch of untraceable digital pseudonyms. That exact same year, another effort by the title of Bit Gold has been drafted by blockchain leader Nick Szabo. Bit Gold alike looked to developing a decentralized electronic money. Szabo's thought was spurred by inefficiencies over the standard financial system, like requiring metal to make coins and also to decrease the quantity of confidence required to make trades. While the two were not formally launched, they had been a part of their inspiration behind Bitcoin.
The arrival of Bitcoin, the initial cryptocurrency
Satoshi Nakamoto printed the white newspaper known as Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System, describing the performance of this Bitcoin blockchain network. This afternoon at Bitcoin history has pushed the path for those events which followed.
The very first mined block can be called the Genesis Block.
May 2010
The very first recorded purchase of merchandise has been created with Bitcoin when Laszlo Hanyecz purchased two championships for 10,000 BTC. This afternoon is still commemorated so far as the Bitcoin Pizza Day. In Ledgerwe observed that using a limited edition Ledger Nano S.
The Beginning of a cryptocurrency Marketplace
First cryptocurrency trade emerged from the title of bitcoinmarket.com (now defunct). In July this year, Mt.Gox was started also.
In this calendar year, a couple of rivaling cryptocurrencies emerged: By May 2013, the cryptocurrency marketplace relied 10 digital resources, such as Litecoin. Another significant crypto asset combined in August from the title of XRP (Ripple).
The Mt.Gox tragedy
Mt.Gox got murdered to get a first-time : 2,000 BTC has been stolen, obtaining a value at about $30,000 in the moment.
Mt.Gox became the most significant cryptocurrency market , in its peak handling 70 percent of Bitcoin trades.
Mt.Gox became the first important cryptocurrency exchange hack, with 850,000 BTC stolen out of it. This is the most significant theft of BTC at Bitcoin history, that was valued at $460,000,000 in the time (present date worth near $3 billion).
Bitcoin cost climbed by 50 percent and didn't recover to its original cost till late 2016. Cryptocurrency exchange hacks have stayed popular since, though seldom of Mt.Gox's caliber.
Ethereum: and the Addition of ERC-20 tokens.
The Ethereum system, now the number two crypto advantage concerning market capitalization, premiered . It attracted smart contracts into the cryptocurrency entire world.
Like many other people, the Augur ICO utilized the Ethereum system's clever contract. Cryptoassets made through Ethereum's smart contracts are usually called ERC-20 tokens.
2015 — current
A growing number of ERC-20 tokens are established.
From that point on
The cryptocurrency world hasn't stood still since. Prices attained an all-time highs at the start of January 2018 and several new crypto resources have united since, such as EOS (July 2017), Tron (September 2017) and Cardano (October 2017). The cryptocurrency marketplace now hosts over 2000 digital monies and is still expanding.
Crypto assets alike continued to acquire popularity to some stage where adoption has become more significant and more current. The quantity of Bitcoin ATMs has continued to grow, more stores have begun accepting cryptocurrencies as a way of payment and crypto resources are used as a kind of fundraising.
This listing is expanding at a fast pace.
With cryptocurrencies, you're in a position to"be your own bank" — you're the only one in charge of your digital resources and also the only one accountable for maintaining the protected.
In Ledgerwe give a hand in safeguarding your precious crypto resources by offering a safe solution that retains the accessibility to a cryptocurrencies offline and out of reach of hackers.

Shelton in position to make mark in SCC
Recommended Video:
Shelton is off to a great start to its SCC girls' volleyball season and coach LeAnne Bianchine is pleased with her squad.
"I love all these girls and the way they come ready in practice and at matches," Bianchine said. "Our win over Law (on Friday) was the most intense, competitive match we've played so far this season."
Senior Reem Abdel-Hack had eight kills, four blocks, three aces and a dig as the Gaelettes improved to 8-2 in their 3-0 (25-21, 30-28, 25-19) victory over Law, which had won its first eight matches before losing to Cheshire.
Elizabeth Cassinelli had eight kills, two blocks and two aces.
Jess Jayakur played an impressive match with eight aces, eight kills and a pair of digs.
Jess Foss and Casinelli are team captains.
Foss had 33 assists when Shelton dropped a hard-fought 3-0 decision to unbeaten Guilford, whose 9-0 record includes a sweep of Cheshire. Cassinelli had five kills, two blocks and two aces against the Indians.
Sara DeMarco is a senior libero. She had 18 acrobatic digs against Guilford.
"I tell anybody that will listen that Sara (DeMarco) owns the floor, she gets everything," Biancine said after the Guilford match. "Jess Jayakar was good all over the court. We moved Liz (Casinelli) to the right side to change things up and she played well. Kelsey (Radzion) and Reem (Abdel-Hack) did a good job keeping the ball alive."

The Sarnia Sting have locked up their top three picks from this year's draft class.
Sting sign fourth-round pick Dann
The Sarnia Sting have locked up their top three picks from this year's draft class.
Forward Nolan Dann signed a standard player agreement Wednesday.
The Sting drafted the 16-year-old forward from Cambridge in the fourth round, 68th overall, in April.
The five-foot-eight, 158-pound Dann had 27 goals and 38 assists in 72 games with the Toronto Minor Midget AAA Red Wings last season.
"Nolan is a competitive young man who plays with a lot of passion," Sting general manager Nick Sinclair said in a statement. "He is a versatile player with good speed and has a natural willingness to go to the dirty areas of the ice. These are exciting elements to his game that Sting fans will come to appreciate.
"We look forward to working with Nolan as he continues to develop and welcome him to the Sarnia Sting organization."
He helped the Red Wings reach the OHL Cup final, where they faced off against No. 1 overall draft pick Shane Wright and the Don Mills Flyers in March. Dann had one assist in a 6-5 overtime loss.
Dann had six points in seven games at the tournament.
He also won the OHL Gold Cup in April with Greater Toronto Hockey League (GTHL) Blue. He had two points in four games.
The Sting previously signed their first-round pick (goalie Ben Gaudreau) and second-round pick (forward Justin O'Donnell). They didn't have a third-round pick.
The Sting will begin training camp in August.

It was recently reported by The Information that Apple is expected to launch an augmented reality headset and glasses in the years 2022 and 2023 respectively. Augmented reality-powered devices have already been introduced in the market by big companies like Microsoft, Google, and Facebook. Because of the fact that several generations of these devices are already available to the public, Apple will be launching its version in a few years to give the competitive market a hard fight.
Apple has briefed their employees about the timeline to be followed for the launch in an internal presentation; development of the software for both of the devices is probable to start in 2021 so the public can get their hands on the Apple-branded AR headsets and glasses by the expected release date in 2022 and 2023. But will the pressure of launching more innovative AR-powered gadgets get to the head of Apple's team and maybe cause an extension of the release date? Only time will tell.
The headset has been designed following the footsteps of Oculus Quest but Apple's design is slimmer; the AR glasses have been designed similar to the shades made by Bose, the Focals made by North and the Eco Frames launched by Amazon, so the glasses will have a traditional style but with a chunkier frame which is necessary to hold the AR hardware and battery.
However, next year, Apple is launching another AR gadget, the new iPad Pro, so that its users are not left high and dry while the other devices are in the process of being launched. This iPad has 3D sensors which will allow the user to design 3D reconstructions of not only rooms and objects but people too.
Despite the fact that Apple's competitors in the field of AR have already launched their technology, Apple's version is expected to be an improved and updated one and in line with the devices released previously by market leaders.

Finding Self-Compassion
While completing a doctoral program in clinical psychology, I found myself providing psychotherapy to a client* who felt trapped by her high standards. She attempted to seek perfection across the many roles in her life — at school or work, in her relationships, with her children, and with her possessions.
When she failed to meet her expectations, or made even small mistakes, she would respond by becoming incredibly self-critical. She would say the meanest things to herself — "I'm an idiot," "I'm such a loser," "I don't deserve happiness" — things that she would never let others say to her, and that she would never say to anyone else! And often, the mistakes she made, and her self-critical thoughts, would increase her feelings of sadness, anger, and anxiety in ways that greatly impacted her life.
In my training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a therapy technique with a large research base supporting its effectiveness, I learned to notice and point out my client's self-critical thoughts and explore with her how these thoughts might be contributing to her struggles. I asked whether she was thinking about her failures accurately, and looked for ways that her interpretations might be distorted. We looked at her thought "I'm an idiot" and explored evidence from her life that she often made intelligent decisions, and discussed how judging herself as "an idiot" over small mistakes was an example of dichotomous thinking.
I tried to help her see her critical thoughts more objectively, and to give her the perspective that her thoughts were not useful and likely made her feel worse. We explored how these thoughts hurt her relationship with her family and kept her from taking risks in her career. However, over and over again, I noticed how she fell into the same pattern, finding only harsh words for herself in times of difficulty. I felt ineffective, and also like a hypocrite, because I saw critical thoughts popping up in my mind as I responded to my failure to help my client.
Luckily, a supervisor introduced me to the work of Dr. Kristin Neff, a research psychologist at the University of Texas at Austin. Her research on self-compassion provided an alternate response to failure.
Instead of responding to failure by criticizing ourselves and feeling alone and isolated in our struggles, self-compassion emphasizes that when we are struggling, we give ourselves comfort and kindness, and accept that failure and disappointment are part of the human condition.
The research on self-compassion is compelling — people with more self-compassion have a greater sense of well-being (Neff, Kirkpatrick, & Rude, 2007), deal more effectively with stress (Barnard & Curry, 2011), have more fulfilling relationships (Neff & Beretvas, 2013) and are less likely to have psychological problems (MacBeth & Gumley, 2012). Interventions aimed at increasing self-compassion are still being tested for their effectiveness, but preliminary studies show that increases in self-compassion with treatment are linked to decreases in depression, anxiety, and stress (Neff & Germer, 2012).
Now, as a postdoctoral fellow, I find that self-compassion plays an increasingly important role in the way I work with my clients. I use the Self-Compassion Scale developed by Dr. Neff to assess the extent to which clients respond to difficulty with criticism and feelings of being alone in their struggles. I work to help my clients develop a self-compassionate voice, one that provides them with comfort in the face of loss, and one that they can use to respond to their critical thoughts. For example, I may help a client say "mistakes are a part of being human" or envision an image of comfort that they can conjure when disappointed. I also teach mindfulness skills to help clients see their critical thoughts as the habitual way that their mind responds to failure, and not as evidence of their inability to reach their goals. I have found that these approaches are effective with many of my clients, and help them become more resilient to the inevitable challenges that life presents.
Finding self-compassion as a therapeutic technique has transformed the way I work with my clients, and has helped me as I respond to my own life disappointments. As the research base grows, I think self-compassion will play a larger and larger role in the way health professionals work with clients. As part of a culture where achievement is highly valued, and failures and mistakes are inevitable, we can all use a little kindness to help us live more fulfilling, meaningful lives.

I'm skeptical, to put it mildly.
I read stories of congressional districts that receive boatloads of money. Then I read that those congressional districts don't exist. The government said it was the result of "human error" and they fixed it right up.
But it is still happening.
Where is this money really going? Who is getting it?
I read story after story of more jobs being saved than there are total employees! 900+ jobs saved for a company with 500 employees. Government math at its best.
What really chaps my butt is when I see government employees are given money FOR RAISES. Those people are then counted as saved jobs.
An Associated Press review of the latest stimulus reports — which the White House promised would undergo extensive reviews to ensure accuracy — found that more than two-thirds of 14,506 jobs credited to the recovery act under spending by just one federal office were overstated because they counted pay increases for existing workers as jobs saved.I decided to go to Recovery.gov and take a look at what kind of money is being spent in my area. You should do the same. Just key in your zip code, and see where all the money is being spent in your area.
Each link you click will take you deeper and deeper into the data. It makes for good reading and a case of indegestion.
One of the "awards" to my city was for just over $1 million. It was to re-pave a street in town. Take a guess on how many jobs it saved.
Well, it was actually 1.15 jobs. Go figure. A million bucks per job save. Geez. Even when there's rampant mis-reporting of jobs saved, they can only dig up one for this project.
Someone's not trying hard enough. Maybe if they gave the job to do the counting to one of the government bureaucrats that got a raise, the numbers would be a bit higher.
If I had the time and inclination, I'd dig to see if this money had already been approved for my city BEFORE the stimulus-a-palooza started. I think I know that answer.
Accept The Challenge
The bill will eventually come due for all of this spending. If you're one of the few remaining tax payers, they're going to be looking to you to pay the tab.
Do whatever is possible to reduce your tax exposure. Buy online, barter - get creative.
Live within your means. Uncle Sam will be coming for increasingly large pieces of your cash flow. We can expect some sort of Euro-styled VAT tax in the future. That will make EVERYTHING taxable, including your necessities like food.
Grow, hunt, fish, preserve. Stretch your dollars until they scream.

Times are a changin' people.
Recently when I went to a new doctor, I was given the usual "stack" of forms to fill out (except it was all done electronically on one of the wireless PhreesiaPads like this):
There were some questions I had never come across on doctor's forms before. Instead of asking for my sex, they asked my birth sex. Okey-Dokey. In today's age, I can kinda see why. Hint: Think Bruce Jenner/Caitlyn Jenner.
Then it said:
Sexual orientation– there was a blank box after these two words and quite honestly, I was confused as to what exactly I was supposed to write in this box. And for the life of me I wondered why they have the need to ask this? I left it blank because I honestly didn't know what to put and was too embarrassed to ask. And furthermore, I didn't really think it was any of their business. I was there for kidney stone pain, so why on God's green earth did they need to know my sexual orientation?
Then it said Gender Identity. And there was a drop down menu with the following choices:
straight or heterosexual
lesbian, gay or homosexual
Don't know
Choose not to disclose
Other, please describe
For the record, I'm a straight (heterosexual) female married happily and monogamously for almost 33 years to my straight (heterosexual) male husband. This being said, I still don't know what I was supposed to write in the sexual orientation box.
I couldn't help but wonder what other, please describe under Gender Identity could possibly mean? What else is there? Am I missing something? Anyone care to explain? I'm so confused.
I told my husband that I want to be a fly on the wall when his sweet, dear 88-year-old mother-in-law comes across one of these forms for the first time. Oh Lordy. And you thought I was confused?

Norway's Equinor to start talks with Tanzania over LNG project
OSLO - Nοrway's Equinοr is ready to start talks with Tanzania οn developing a liquefied natural gas prοject based οn a deepwater offshοre discοvery, the cοmpany said οn Tuesday.
Tanzanian President John Magufuli has asked his gοvernment to prοceed with negοtiatiοns to set out the cοmmercial and fiscal framewοrk fοr the LNG prοject, Equinοr, a majοrity state-owned energy cοmpany fοrmerly knοwn as Statoil, said.
"Equinοr will nοw prοceed with our partner ExxοnMobil with negοtiatiοns fοr a host gοvernment agreement," an Equinοr spοkesman said in an email to Reuters.
He said it was too early to say how lοng talks with the gοvernment cοuld take and how much the prοject would cοst.
Tanzania said in 2014 that a planned LNG expοrt plant cοuld cοst up to $30 billiοn.
Royal Dutch Shell, which operates deepwater Blocks 1 and 4, adjacent to Equinοr's Block 2, previously sought to develop the LNG prοject in partnership with Equinοr and Exxοn Mobil.
"Shell cοntinues to wοrk with the gοvernment of Tanzania to establish the mοst cοst effective and cοmpetitive solutiοn fοr the LNG prοject in Tanzania," a cοmpany spοkeswoman said in an email to Reuters.
"We believe the gοvernment is best placed to lead the right way fοrward to deliver the prοject," she added.
Shell declined to say whether it would join Equinοr and Exxοn Mobil οr would pursue separate talks with the gοvernment.
Shell said οn its website the three blocks had sufficient gas reserves to build an οnshοre LNG plant, but the cοmpany was nοt immediately available to cοmment οn whether it would join the other two in starting talks.
Shell estimates its two blocks hold abοut 16 trilliοn cubic feet of recοverable gas, similar to the volumes in Equinοr's Block 2.
Reuters repοrted in June that Exxοn Mobil was seeking to sell its 25 percent stake in Block 2 as it was fοcusing οn an even bigger prοject in neighbοring Mozambique.
