- Performance
Note: This performance review was created when the 2014 Ford Focus was new.
Auto writers say that the 2014 Ford Focus offers fuel economy that's good for the class, as well as athletic handling and a refined ride. The high-performance Focus ST garners even more praise, and reviewers report that it offers sprightly acceleration and even better handling, as well as a fantastic-sounding exhaust note.
The 2014 Ford Focus comes with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 160 horsepower. A five-speed manual transmission is standard, and a six-speed automated manual transmission is optional. The EPA reports that the base Focus gets 26/36 mpg city/highway, which is slightly better than what the base Chevrolet Cruze and Volkswagen Jetta get. The Focus achieves its best fuel economy estimates of 28/40 mpg when equipped with the optional SFE package.
The high-performance Ford Focus ST comes with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 252 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 270 pound-feet of torque at 2,500 rpm. A six-speed manual transmission is standard.
Test drivers say that the 2014 Focus offers can be a bit slow from a stop, but they also write that it offers ample power at higher speeds. Most critics prefer the five-speed manual, noting that it makes the Focus a bit more fun to drive. Still, one reviewer says that he wishes the manual transmission had a sixth gear, while another notes that clutch and shifter take time to master. One test driver writes that the automated manual transmission will sometimes allow the Focus to roll backwards on steep inclines, while another notes that it shifts to higher gears quicker than he would like. In contrast, the Focus ST wins unanimous praise from test drivers, who say that it offers ample power and a slick-shifting six-speed manual transmission.
Whether they drove the regular Focus, or the high-performance Focus ST, reviewers agree that the 2014 Focus offers responsive handling and a refined, comfortable ride. One test driver notes that even the base Focus offers communicative steering and capable brakes, while another reports that the Focus ST excels as an athletic hatchback that's still comfortable enough for daily commutes.

Making a living from building and selling apps is bloody hard work. Most apps fail to make a return on the cost of development, let alone sustain a lifestyle. The chance of failure is very high and the odds stacked against you. If you followed your passion and your app does fail, at least you'll have shipped something that you can be proud of.

Building an app or even something is fun but to make it even more meaningful, it would be great if someone uses it. It would be even better if someone pays for it. For that to happen, we need to let people know of our service and that is through marketing.

Agadir is the main beach resort in Morocco, though it didn't always enjoy suc...
Morocco vacations can revolve around a number of unforgettable pursuits, and travelers will be keen to enjoy as many experiences as possible. The diverse culture and fascinating history of Morocco make it a wonderland for travelers who enjoy cultural endeavors, and the breathtaking landscape appeals to nature enthusiasts. In addition to stunning mountains, Morocco is also home to desert terrains that can be explored by camel. At desert attractions like the Erg Chebbi near Merzouga, the sands can range from red to pink, with all kinds of violet and golden hues in between.
Adventure travel is very popular in Morocco, and a number of tour operators offer guided adventure excursions that feature destinations like the Erg Chebbi. Other adventure activities that can be at the heart of Morocco vacations include hiking, mountain biking, and birdwatching, to name a few. Morocco is an excellent bird watching destination, as more than 460 species are found here. Some of the best places in the country to go birding include the national parks, such as Toubkal National Park near Marrakech and the Souss-Massa National Park. The former is an excellent side trip destination for Agadir visitors.
Agadir isn't just ideal for side trips into the Souss-Massa National Park. It's also a good place to go when beach time is at the heart of a Morocco vacation. Morocco is already a top beach vacation destination for Europeans, and other international travelers are starting to take notice. Numerous watersports activities can be enjoyed on a Morocco beach vacation, including surfing. Surfing has been growing in popularity in recent years, much like Morocco travel on the whole, and destinations such as Taghazout are prime places to hang ten.
Those who wish to do some hiking or mountain biking can take to the Morocco mountains, which provide the setting for many of the country's most enjoyable adventure activities. Since this is a compact country, visitors can easily pair some time in the desert or on the beach with some time in the cooler highlands. This can be especially rewarding during the summer months, as the lowland heat can be oppressive. Thankfully, the coastal cities are often cooled by consistent trade winds. These winds not only keep the summer heat at bay. They also make for excellent wind and kite surfing opportunities.
While enjoying the great outdoors is rewarding in Morocco, it isn't the only thing that makes Morocco vacations attractive. Many of the country's cities are home to fascinating historic districts, which are most often called medinas. These old districts are in turn home to historic structures such as mosques and their dazzling minarets. The medinas figure among the most iconic Morocco attractions, and two of the best can be found in Marrakech and Fes. In addition to being ideal for general sightseeing, the vibrant medinas in Morocco are also great places to go shopping. Few destinations in the world are as attractive as Morocco when it comes to shopping, and hunting for rugs, leather goods, ceramics, and a host of other things is best done at the medina markets.
There are tons of possibilities when it comes to the list of things to do in Morocco, and travelers will be happy to know that there is not shortage of good places to stay. For some, staying at a riad, or Moroccan-style guesthouse is the way to go, and for good reason. These hotels offer what is arguably the best overall lodging experience. That being said, a Morocco vacation rental on or near a beach can prove just as appetizing. Some of the country's best riads can be rented out as villas, and they are worth considering when it comes to vacation rentals.
Renting out a riad isn't the only option for those who wish to book a stay in a Morocco vacation rental. Most of the vacation rentals in this northern African nation come in the form of apartments or condos. The bulk of these are well-equipped and can be found within close proximity of a beach. In addition to looking in Agadir, travelers who are interested in staying in a Morocco vacation rental might also try Tamuda Bay. Both of these beach resorts are family friendly, and families that book a vacation rental will have a convenient kitchen at their disposal. This can make mealtime less of a headache when the kids are tired.
Whatever travelers have in mind for their Morocco vacations, checking out the available travel packages is worth considering. The Morocco vacation packages tend to include accommodations, airfare, and ground transportation. Some even include tours on the side. Most Morocco vacation packages offer good deals on everything that they cover, which is one of the reasons why they are worth keeping in mind.
Whether Morocco travelers have weeks to spare or just a few days, planning things out in advance can be an easy task. This is especially true for those who decide to book one of the Morocco vacation packages, as many include more than one featured activity on their itineraries. The vacation packages for Morocco come in a full range of shapes and sizes, some even revolving around cruises, and it shouldn't take long to find one that has all your Morocco vacation needs covered.

A red grape variety that probably originates in Corsica, and which has been used historically in Tuscany with the name Mammolo. It is used to make soft and spicy red and rosé wines with pleasant levels of alcohol and acidity, especially in the Corsican capital of Ajaccio.
Until the 1960s, the variety was very popular in Tuscany, with Soderini referring to it in 1600 in both its red and white varieties (the latter of which either no longer survives or refers to a different grape). It is still dominant in the south of Corsica, where 783 hectares were grown in 2008. It is mid- to late-ripening, and grows best in dry soil.

Nokia has extended its partnership with Tribal DDB for the launch of its new Lumia 720 and Lumia 520.
"We decided to appoint Tribal DDB with this campaign because they showed the initiative and aggressiveness that we felt suited the brand, moving forwards," said Eda Lim, head of marketing, Nokia Malaysia and Brunei.
The campaign is made based on the insight that consumers are becoming more socially inept and suffer disconnection from the real world.
The campaign was thus created by parodying this insight dubbed "Socialitis", which is a 'disease' of social ineptness that is the result of excessive use of smartphones that can be 'cured' by the design and functions of the Nokia Lumia.
"A great insight and a great product entails what we all feel will be a great campaign for Nokia and we're all very excited about the launch," said Lola Chin, general manager of Tribal DDB.
The campaign can be viewed on lumialivecentre.com.

Where all can a logo placed?
Your logo has places to be to represent you and your business. It works well on your website, you business cards, and print materials. However, a certain amount of your social content should also have your logo or your business picture. This will help to keep your company image in people's mind.
Your current and potential clients will have an easier time recognizing you, as well as associate your message with your business colors or your face. When it comes time that they need your services or to recommend you, they will have an easy time remembering you. It's a basic psychology principle, this is how our brain works. We are easily able to place in memory visual information which resembles objects, places, animals or people in a mental image. Did you know that 90% of information perceived by our brain is visual? You'll be competing for how well people will retain your logo and business colors, so why not provide it on a regular basis?
How can you start branding?
My second favorite content when posting for my business clients after video is a branded visual. It could be a favorite quote, a new service offer, or what this business is about, the options are limitless. I recommend you implementing this strategy to your social media efforts, and you'll see results. We all know how easy and tempting it is to repost a viral video or other third party post. The truth is people value originality, so your original content plays an important role in your Facebook, Instagram, Twitter feeds. One of my favorite (mostly) free tool to create is Canva. I have it open and ready to go on my computer as I'm writing this article.
Any comments? I'd love for you to add your thoughts so others can benefit from it.

Euchen Glen is likely to bid for a famous York double next month following a dominant front-running victory in the 59th John Smith's Cup.
After being denied by a nose in the two-mile Northumberland Vase at Newcastle on his latest appearance, Jim Goldie's charge was back at a mile and a quarter for this £200,000 contest and jockey Alistair Rawlinson was intent on making it a good stamina test from the moment the stalls opened.
Euchen Glen bowled along merrily at the head of affairs and as he gradually raised the tempo, one by one his rivals began to feel the pinch.
It was clear halfway up the home straight that the chasing pack were struggling to bridge the gap and Goldie's 20-1 shot passed the post two and a quarter lengths clear of Thundering Blue, with Kynren third.
Goldie is eyeing a return to York for next month's Sky Bet Ebor.
"He's a fair horse and although he's been running over further, I always had it at the back of my mind he could do something like that," said the Scottish trainer.
"We were going to sidestep this and go for a two-mile race at Newbury next week, but I said to the owners we'd have a look and the more we looked the more we liked the look of it."
He added: "I knew the mile and a quarter wouldn't be a problem, he had a good draw and we decided we'd take a chance and go forward.
"The plan was to come back here for the Ebor (August 25), so that's where he'll go, all being well.
"It was Ali's first ride for me. He made it look easy, but he had a willing ally."
It was a timely winner for 26-year-old Rawlinson, who welcomed a son into the world little over two weeks ago.
He said: "I had a lot of faith in what Jim told me and it worked out really well.
"We felt coming back in trip wouldn't be a problem and in fairness they've let me at it in front.
"I've won the Scottish Sprint Cup twice, but this is the most valuable race I've won, which is nice, as it will help pay for the nappies!"

What Is an HTML Body Tag
HTML is an acronym for Hypertext Mark-up Language and is the language to develop webpages. HTML is a tag based language. The tags of HTML are instructions that are embedded directly into the text of the document. An HTML Tag is used to indicate the browser that some operation is to be performed before just displaying a blank webpage on the screen. All HTML Tags begin with an open angle bracket ().
HTML tags are of two types:
Paired Tags: A tag is said to be paired if both, the open tag i.e. <> and the closed tag (called the companion tag) i.e. are there. For e.g. :
tag is a paired tag. The
tag with its companion tag
is used to output a paragraph on the webpage. Some other examples include,……tag is used to indicate start and end of the main body,
tag is used to display a table of desired rows and columns on the screen, etc…
Singular/Standalone tags: is the one which has no other companion tag i.e. only a single tag is used. For example,
tag, inserts a line break.
A number of attributes are also used with the HTML tags, which helps in making the webpage attractive by changing the background colour (using BGCOLOR), inserting an background image (using BACKGROUND), and links (using LINK) etc… The values of the colour can be specified in hexadecimal notation. Attributes such as colour, font size, text etc… can be used with the BODY tag. Like this a number of tags and their attributes are available in HTML language.
An example showing how an HTML page is created using basic HTML tags is shown below:
<head> ABC</head>
<body bgcolor="red"
<title> Hi, How r u?</title>
Inspite of all these tags there are also many tags which are useful for this u can refer to www.w3schools.com. and there are many other forums where you can get solutions to most of your querries
There are many benefits of using the HTML tags or making a webpage using this mark-up language. It is widely accepted language for making webpages. It is the base language for creating the webpages. It is free as well as very much easy to use.
Some cons of using HTML includes improper mark-up structure used by the user, the limited security features of HTML and if used alone, produces static output only.

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme that was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018.
I'm back with another Top Ten Tuesday! (Errr- top 7 Tuesday? Seven is the most powerfully magical number *shout out Binge Mode HP*) This topic was actually really hard for me- which is why there's only seven- and most of them are either HP or Percy Jackson. Oh well, here we go!
1 Hogwarts
The obvious answer! If I had to pick one place at Hogwarts though, it'd be Dumbledore's office, cause there's so many cool things in there (Sorting Hat! Pensieve! Maaaaybe the Sword of Gryffindor?? Where did that end up?!) plus all the Headmasters' portraits!
2 Hogsmeade/Diagon Alley
I combined these two because they're kind of the same thing in terms of having shops and such. I loved visiting HP World at Universal LA a couple years ago and would love to visit Orlando one day to see their version of Hogsmeade!
3 Ministry of Magic
I think it'd be really cool to check out the Ministry. Especially if I get to start in the telephone booth and get a cool nametag.
4 King's Cross
This is on my bucket list of places I'd like to visit someday. Gotta get a pic at Platform 9 3/4.
5 Mount Olympus
Taking an elevator in the Empire State Building to Mount Olympus? Yes please.
6 The Underworld
Juxtaposed with Mount Olympus but maybe even better? Hades AND Persephone AND Charon AND CERBERUS are down there. That's a party.
7 Red London
Had to get a London in here and I think I'd be most comfortable in Red London. It's got magic and it's really lively and I feel like there'd be a very high chance of me dying in any of the other Londons lol.
Any other bookish places you would want to visit? Let me know in the comments! 🙂

Consider Pavement Rejuvenation Before It's Too Late
Think of pavement as you would skin. A baby's skin is resilient, smooth, unblemished. Over time, harmful UV rays and general wear and tear will leave unprotected skin dry, cracking, wrinkled. Pavement rejuvenation products, like properly applied skin care and sunscreen, will help preserve the resiliency of the pavement and delay the need for costly complete resurfacing.

The specification for the waterproofing was based upon the traditional bitumen sheet type system. In fact, the project had begun with 4 or 5 smaller structures completed using a 'Superma Antirock' SMS bitumen system. However for programming and other cost efficiency reasons the client opted to utilize Pitchmastic PmB International and the spray applied PmB system having worked together previously in Ireland on several major bridge projects.
About PmB
PmB is a two part, spray applied, durable corrosion protection and waterproofing material. The high performance system is 100% polyurethane containing no fillers or additives and is VOC free. Once applied, PmB has exceptional bond strength to all commonly used substrates, has excellent crack bridging capability and a life expectancy in excess of 30 years and holds British Board of Agrément approval.
The system has gained BBA approval for use as a damp proof and waterproofing membrane for internal and external tanking. The system holds approvals in many continents including Europe, North America, the Middle and Far East.

The Inspirationists emerged in the early 1700's as part of the Pietist and Spiritualist movement within the Lutheran Church in Germany. Eberhard Gruber and Johann Friedrich Rock were early spiritual leaders in this Community of the True Inspirationists.
The Inspirationists placed a great deal of emphasis on the development and nurture of the Inner Life via direct mystical contact with God. A strong commitment to church discipline and close community relationships also characterized the Inspirationists.
In 1842, 800 German Inspirationists settled near Buffalo, New York, and began to practice full communal life institutionalizing precepts concerning dress and lifestyle. For economic and spiritual reasons, however, the group bought 18,000 acres in Iowa in 1854 and called their new home "Amana," a word taken from the Old Testament Song of Solomon, which means "to remain faithful".
In 1932, the year of the "Great Change," community of goods was discontinued. Strict regulations on dress and lifestyle have also been gradually eliminated. Church life itself, however, continues with its spiritualistic pattern and simple form of worship, in unadorned meetinghouses.
Despite the large number of visitors who come to the Amana villages each year, many unique cultural traditions remain and are, in fact, affirmed and passed on from generation to generation.
The Old Order Amish of Kalona represent a very different cultural-religious community with roots in the Anabaptist movement of the early 16th century. Jacob Ammann, an early leader of the group, established an Anabaptist church with a much more negative view of the "world" than that held by his spiritual cousins, the Mennonites.
The Old Order Amish are biblicists as opposed to spiritualists. They recognize the authority of God's Word as written down in the Bible and place less emphasis than do the Inspirationists on God's giving direct enlightenment to Christians through his Spirit.
In addition, the Amish come from Swiss ethnic stock and speak a completely different German dialect than members of the Amana Society.
But most importantly, the Old Order Amish maintain their theology and lifestyle intact, almost the way it was believed and put into practice 300 years ago. The Amish have experienced no "Great Change" in the 20th century. The Inspirationists in the Amana Colonies also continue to worship God in the same manner that they did 100 years ago. Theological changes are minimal. But whereas residents of the Amana Colonies dress in the latest fashions, outside of the Sunday morning services, the Old Order Amish maintain strict dress requirements and insist that no member use electricity or automobiles. There are no telephones in their homes.
TRADITION and INNOVATION
Thus, the Old Order Amish continue, almost unchanged, the cultural-religious traditions of their ancestors. The Inspirationists, on the other hand, have allowed some changes in their traditional beliefs and practices, at least outside church life itself. An example of this openness to change on the part of the Inspirationists is their acceptance of military service. The Amish remain strict pacifists, conscientious objectors to war.
Another major difference which historically separated the two groups was Amana's communal way of life. Though the Old Order Amish believe in mutual aid and assist one another in various ways (including the famous barnraisings), they never practiced community of goods. Also, whereas the Amana colonies early on established a variety of craft, appliance and furniture industries, which today are famous throughtout the world, the Old Order Amish have insisted that members stick to farming for the most part.
Thus, Southeast Iowa has — in the Amana villages, and in the Kalona countryside — two very different, very unique religious-cultural groups, both with rich traditions, both extrememly interesting for visitors to interact with.
Isn't it interesting that today the descendents of the early Inspirationists and the progressive descendents of the Old Order Amish (many Mennonites in the Kalona area are descendents of the Old Order Amish families) compete with each other in athletic events (Amana High School versus either Iowa Mennointe School or Mid-Prairie High School).
No, do not expect to find any horses and buggies in the Amana Colonies. And no, the Old Order Amish do not make wine for public sale.
Each group has developed its own unique heritage. Both traditions enrich the lives of all who come into contact with them.
By Rod A. Janzen (1988) http://www.kalonaiowa.org/AmishAmana.htm

THE acquittal of mum-of-three Jennifer O'Brien of assault yesterday is a welcome example of our courts exercising common sense.
Many people reading the account of what happened on the night of her arrest will have put themselves in her position – and would be entirely justified if they decided that they would have acted in exactly the same manner.
Ms O'Brien picked up a baseball bat in desperation as her partner was being kicked and punched by a vicious gang of yobs near their home.
She said she felt she had no alternative but to swing the weapon – which belonged to one of the gang – after she realised she was not strong enough to drag the youths away and stop the beating.
Upon acquitting her, magistrates said they accepted Ms O'Brien had used only reasonable force in the circumstances.
This followed her solicitor asking them: "What would any of us have done if confronted by the same thing?"
This case should not send out the message that it is okay to exact revenge on teenage louts by smashing them over the head with baseball bats.
Indeed, the police were quite right to arrest Ms O'Brien when they witnessed her actions. What else could they do?
And the Crown Prosecution Service had no real option but to put it before the courts.
By the letter of the law, after all, she had committed an assault – having struck a boy with a weapon, knocking him unconscious and causing an injury which required stitches.
But in too many cases we see this kind of charge going all the way, ending with a conviction and possibly jail, and there is a sense of injustice surrounding the whole affair.
On this occasion the magistrates involved have demonstrated they are human beings who can see the difference between a real criminal and an ordinary woman reacting to a terrifying event.

The real estate market in Texas had many demands but most of them were fulfilled by Marcus Hiles and Western Rim Properties. Affordable luxury is now just a phone call away. Communities with lush green spaces, spas, and swimming pools were either a rarity or too expensive for a regular working class person. Nowadays, it is possible to rent a place in such a community, thanks to Marcus Hiles. Although he has a lot of work in the real estate market, Hiles often donates money to educational purposes and shows his deep commitment to society's development. More about this on http://finance.yahoo.com/news/marcus-hiles-donates-computers-students-041353893.html
Real Estate Market
Marcus Hiles Points To Political Efforts Empowering Students
While protecting wage and job growth in the private sector is key, Marcus Hiles points out that political efforts also must promote educational opportunities that empower students. The Programme for International Student Assessment noted that U.S. school children are in the middle of the international pack for math and science, with the Pew Research Center reporting scoring 36th and 28th out of 65 countries in the study. While politicians have for decades frequently denounced the results and demanded better training, new policies must ultimately encourage more children to study math and science at the university level; The U.S. Department of Education believes that, "only 16 percent of high school students are interested in a [science, technology, engineering or math] career and have proven a proficiency in mathematics." Though changes in learning standards and curriculum must be incorporated as early as grades K-6, students finishing high school need the ability to master trade skills that equip them for jobs in the construction and health care fields. Many expect that the current presidential administration will make good on promises to provide a bigger role for community colleges in the economy, with commercial real estate and home building industry career paths readily available to students pursuing a future in development and infrastructure improvement.

Michelle Obama Hilariously Breaks Down Why Melania Trump's Inauguration Gift Exchange Appeared So Awkward
The former FLOTUS also explained to Ellen Degeneres how Barack stepped in and saved the day.
Eleven years ago today, Gina Prince-Bythewood's Love & Basketball opened in theaters nationwide. The film starred Omar Epps and Sanaa Lathan, childhood friends who fall in love thanks largely to their passion of basketball. The cast also included Alfre Woodard, Boris Kudjoe, Gabrielle Union and Tyra Banks (remember when she wanted to act?).
Love & Basketball was coming off the nineties, a heyday for Black film. Movies like Love Jones, Soul Food and Spike Lees films all performed well at the box office and received critical acclaim. Lee was a producer on Love & Basketball and the studio for the film was through his production company, 40 Acres & A Mule Filmworks.
Prince-Bythewood managed to find an entertaining balance between romance and the complexity of ignoring what has always been in front of you. While Lathan already had roles in Blade and The Best Man, her character in this movie is what made her a favorite in the African-American community.
Love & Basketball would gross over 27 million at the box office. The movie won four NAACP Image Awards, two Independent Spirit Awards and both Lathan and Epps won best actor at the 2001 BET Awards.
The former FLOTUS also explained to Ellen Degeneres how Barack stepped in and saved the day.

As predicted by many, Blockchain technology is becoming a disrupter in business enterprise models and governmental applications. The simplicity of a shared ledger among participants that creates a safe, chronological and unalterable record of events is showing signs of success. This, in turn, attracts attention from more and more people searching for technology to improve their business model. The shared ledger of Blockchain is similar to a ledger-based accounting system as found in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). One caveat to consider: The ledger can accurately record numbers, but cannot measure the truthfulness of the transactions or the integrity of the people behind the transactions. It has always been possible, and will always remain possible, that incorrect or fraudulent numbers can be accurately recorded in the journals and ledgers. The information then flows into the financial statements. The success of GAAP accounting therefore depends on the honesty of the participants.
Open vs. Closed Blockchain models
The original 2009 Blockchain model was incorporated into Bitcoin protocol as an open-sourced ledger system where untrusted participants called Nodes evaluate and approve each transaction before being added as a new block to the existing Blockchain. In this model, the Nodes did not have to know or trust each other. Since the Bitcoin ecosystem was open-sourced, any one with access to the internet could obtain the free software and participate in the mining process for Bitcoin. The design makes it impractical, but not impossible, for sufficient numbers of nodes to band together and override the Blockchain ledger. This became known as the 51% attack where over half of the existing Nodes work together to exert control over Blockchain transactions.
Subsequent Blockchain systems using only trusted participants (Nodes) in a closed environment have shown promise in a variety of business and government applications, and have fueled the interest and growth of Blockchain. But how does Blockchain affect the world of fraud?
There is no accounting system, computer software or hardware, that can prevent fraud schemes or prevent determined people to cheat and steal from one another. Accounting systems are designed to standardize record keeping protocols to create reliable records of financial transactions. Corrupt people working together, of course, will find ways to defeat any control system to lie, cheat, and steal. To counter the fraudsters, we rely on GAAP accounting rules, government regulators, and highly trained auditors to enforce the rules to create reliable financial reports.
Blockchain cannot prevent fraud. However it can be argued that a closed Blockchain system where Nodes are chosen may be a valuable ally in preventing and discovering known schemes such as – Business Email Comprise (BEC)schemes, Email Account Compromise (EAC) schemes, employee embezzlements , theft of Intellectual Property, corrupt vendor schemes, bribery and kickback schemes, and a host of others. These schemes may escape the eyes of management or auditors by hiding in blizzards of transactions . But Blockchain may serve as a deterrent since varying Nodes must unanimously approve each transaction before being added as a new block.
A strong argument can be made that having other participants (Nodes) reviewing and approving transactions before being added to the Blockchain may make such schemes more difficult to perpetrate and more likely to be discovered at early stages.
What Happened at Enron?
The investigation of Enron exposed a massive accounting fraud causing the collapse of the seventh largest company on the Fortune 500 company list and the sixth largest energy company in the world. The $100 billion company was a financial house of cards that concealed massive debt from the Board of Directors, internal and external auditors, investors, and regulators. Attempts to compare present-day capabilities (Blockchain) to historic fact patterns (Enron)can be tricky if the past cases are no longer relevant to current conditions. However, it can be demonstrated that fraudulent financial statement abuses are commonplace today. Here are some of the main accounting abuse issues found by SEC regulators in the Enron investigation:
- Executives fraudulently used Reserves within Enron's wholesale trading businesses to manufacture and manipulate reported earnings.
- Executives manipulated Enron's "business segment reporting" to conceal losses at Enron's energy business known as Enron Energy Services (EES).
- Executives manufactured earnings by fraudulently promoting Enron's broadband unit, Enron Broadband Services (EBS).
- Executives used Special Purpose Entities (SPEs) and company partnerships to manipulate Enron's financial results.
- Executives profited from illegal insider trading techniques to sell large amounts of Enron stock at inflated prices.
- Executives made False and Misleading statements concerning Enron's financial results and the performance of its businesses. These misrepresentations were also contained in Enron's public filings that generated unlawful proceeds of approximately $63 million.
Given the advancements of Blockchain technology, some may argue that frauds like Enron may have been prevented or discovered earlier had Blockchain systems been implemented. A closer look at the above listed SEC findings indicates a strong, collusive collaboration within the top executives at Enron.
Could Collusion among Corrupt Corporate Executives Defeat Blockchain Advantages?
One would have to assume that corporate executives would be aware of the accounting procedures of a company. If executives were instrumental in designing and adapting Blockchain to their business model, could they appoint themselves as Nodes, or use complicit subordinates as Nodes to implant fraudulent information into the Blockchain? We do know that corrupt Enron executives at the highest levels of the company conspired to hide debt, manipulate profits, and falsely inflate stock prices for their selfish benefit. They successfully concealed the fraud from other company officials, internal and external auditors, bankers, and regulators. They worked hard to find the gray areas of GAAP accounting to justify their actions.
Blockchain developers are fearful of the dreaded "51% attack" that could undermine the advantages of Blockchain. The same concern could be raised by the possibility of corrupt collusion between Nodes to bake fraudulent transactions into the Blockchain, or work together to avoid the scrutiny of other participants.
Conclusion: The internal controls in the best designed GAAP accounting system remain vulnerable to collusion between fraudsters, and Blockchain may be no different. The corrupt Enron executives argued at many judicial proceedings that they were within the gray areas of accounting and therefore did not commit the alleged crimes. Fortunately, juries and judges disagreed and stiff prison sentences followed.
The lessons of Enron can provide guideposts to the applications of present-day technology: The success of any system will depend on the integrity of the participants. The numbers do not lie but liars can make the numbers.
The Ghosts of Enron will always remind us that when people are involved, fraud will find a way.

Buongiorno and benvenuti!
In August of 2013 my family packed up and moved from North America to northern Italy.
This is just filler until I can find the proper words for this page. I'm graduating from a tumblr to an actual words-on-pages blog, and it's all very overwhelming, so be patient with me.
Now if I can just figure out how to change that green text on the headline…
Anyway, welcome to my blog! I will be pulling it more together as time passes.

Stephen Maguire or Stuart Bingham
Stephen Maguire or Stuart Bingham. They have both won a similar number of events, with one Triple Crown event each. They have each earned a similar amount of career money, and have made almost the same number century breaks. They have both been ranked as high as number 2 in the world. One has certainly underachieved, whilst the other has arguably overachieved. The question is which of the two do you rate as the better player?

Review for Begin Again
Struggling Record Producer Dan is desperate the find the next big thing and he thinks he has when he sees Gretta playing a song at an Open Mic and is completely captivated with her and her music. Gretta had come to New York with her boyfriend Dave who had just hit big with a movie and is recording his solo album. While recording he cheats on Gretta and she leaves, moving in with fellow Brit Steve who is also a singer.
On hearing her, Dan takes Gretta to his studio who are unimpressed and want a demo before they will consider her. He decides to forget the contract and studio and to record the entire album in and around New York. This results in them playing in subways, alleys, rooftops and more and brings Dan the hope he needed and closer to his estranged wife and daughter. It also gives Gretta the chance to prove that she never needed Dave to make great music.
I loved this movie. I simply adored it. I will not whinge about the pretentious opening that tells the same scene from different points of view or the inconsistencies of the plot with Dan going from being poor to affording to pay people to play. Or indeed why when he asks the help of Troublegum (played by Cee Lo Green) who lives in a mansion, why instead of just asking him to fund the album, he only asks for use of a few of his musicians. I won't query what exactly Dave did to get this fame, as it's never really explained whether he starred in a movie or just made a song... or...
No... I will simply say that if you want to watch a movie that makes you smile. This is that movie. Mark Ruffalo is excellent as the down and out Dan and his interactions with everyone from his wife played by the wonderful Catherine Keener to his former partner played by Mos Def are just perfect. Keira Knightley as Gretta is your typical English out of water character, but it works and though I don't know whether she was doing the singing, if it was it was pretty good in an Aimee Mann-way. Adam Levine (from Maroon 5) as Dave is perfect as the self-centred singer who dumps Gretta for a character so bland that when he says her name Mim, I will defy anyone who can even remember what she looks like.
The plot moves quick and this is not a film that outstays its welcome. In fact there were times when I really wish I could see more and it is a shame that there are no other deleted scenes or anything else from these characters to watch. What you get is a very simple, nice and watchable movie that is not going to set the world on fire, but not going to harm it either. This isn't the awful sappiness of a Nicholas Sparks' movie, but love as it really happens and I loved every minute of it.
Included in the extras is a Making of, which is fine, but this is not a film that really needed how it was made explained to me. It has a few interesting points about certain parts, but overall just a filler extra. But it does include music videos from this film and that is something that I will commend the movie on as this is the first film in a long time that made me seek out its album (which is amazing if anyone wanted to know). The videos are simply just the sections from the film, with fancy lyrics on the screen and this is a great way to do this when music is a big part of what made the film so perfect. I do wish more had been made of this or if there had been a feature on the creation and writing of the songs. I would not be surprised if an amazing song like Lost Stars or the Music in general doesn't sweep the Awards this year.
Begin Again is a film that I will be recommending to everyone who just wants to enjoy a happy film. Sure there are the bleak moments (it is a romantic film afterall), but it is these moments that make you enjoy and appreciate the happiness the rest gives you. If you are a couple and want a nice film to snuggle on the couch to, then this is the movie. If you are inviting that special someone to your place to watch a movie... put down Predator... and pick this one up, you will thank me later.

Hello everyone. I know that cheat engine have a function which can help us check what access a memory address. Are there any way to do it in GameGuardian?
Thank for your reply. I dont want game dev increase security too. So keep it secret.
Hello everybody. GameGuardian have been the best memory editor for android I ever saw. I use it to hack many game. And I have though it use ptrace to edit memory for a long time. But recently, I knew it can be used to hack pubg mobile which have a separate process attach to it. So we can not use ptrace. But GG still can search and edit memory easily. How can this happend? I am so curious about it. Did it use /proc/{pid}/maps, and /proc/{pid}/mem ? Someone know please help me. Thank you very much.
Hello everybody. I am try to hack pubg mobile with gg. I know there were many script for this game. But I have a question: Did they get some hard to find value(recoil, character render, wall hack, ..) by luck or they actually can extract game code to get that kind of value? Some unity game which I can analysis game code to get the value effect gameplay but I can not do it in pubg mobile ( unreal engine 4) . It is too hard for me.
open a file in directory /proc/pid/.thank you.
open a file in directory /proc/pid/.Hi. I am doing script with need access file /proc/pid/maps to get some information. I use this code local pid = gg.getTargetInfo().pid local file = string.format("%s%d%s", "/proc/",pid, "/maps") local inp=io.open(file, 'r') and when I execute script I got this error: io error: /proc/3811/maps:open failed: EPERM(Operation not permitted) I run this script in root devices. Can you explain me why this can not work in root devices? And are there any solution? Thank you very much.
Oh, thank you.
Oh. I didn't read the editAll in API help carefully. Sorry for that and thank for your help. Btw, What happend if I ignore space character when put hex value like 'h5CE30B' instead of 'h 5C E3 0B'
Search and edit a big hex number.Hello. I am learning to write lua script for GG. I have a question. If you know please help me. I want to search a big hex number for example: 02390D000000026FC90801066FAB0701A66B2A22000000402A and then edit it to 00000000000000000000000000000000000000220000C8422A in memory. To search I use this : gg.clearResults() gg.clearList() gg.searchNumber('h02390D000000026FC90801066FAB0701A66B2A22000000402A', gg.TYPE_BYTE) But I dont know how to edit results to 00000000000000000000000000000000000000220000C8422A. Please help me. Thank you.
Thank you very much. I think this speed is enough for me. I know more about lua script and GG because of your help. I hope this script will useful with other people. [added 1 minute later] reverse_dump.lua
Oh it worked. I actually save much time than use loop. [added 3 minutes later] If we use 4 byte what happend if the binary have size which is not divide by all for 8? [added 4 minutes later] and in that case can I use data:long()
I got problem at this. It is not a table. It is a number. Should I put a loop to assign the value to table or are there any better choice?
Thank for help me. Finally I wrote a working script. Its still slow when work with large binary file. Please tell me if there are any thing can improve script speed. reverse_dump.lua
Thank for your reply .When I try to read and write one by one byte it take really more time for do it even with a small binary file. I need read a bigger chunks than 1 byte but how many is the best choice? This is the edited script for read and write one by one byte. reverse_dump.lua
I dont know if it work or not. I just try doing it. My full idea is: In game memory, there are some region to save game code. For example, in a unity game there were a special memory range (which wont change) allocated for Assembly-CSharp.dll. I just search that address for one time only. And then extract that file from game package, edit and reserve dump it to the address which I found before. I completed the lua script for that but the problem now is: that script work fine with small file. But for the bigger file (20MB) GG will crash. Can you give me some cue to increase script performance? I actually want to try doing it even after all it will not work. Please help me. Is the problem at file:read("*a") when read a large file? reverse_dump.lua

The AspenRidge Mission
The overall mission at AspenRidge Recovery is to cultivate a thriving and nurturing community to empower those in our care to achieve self-determination and emotional clarity. We want individuals who enter our care to understand that true recovery is actually attainable.
This requires dedication and commitment, along with a support network that constantly encourages you and guides you in the right direction. Moreover, it's AspenRidge Recovery's goal to ensure your safety and comfort at all times in our care. Without this comfort and safety, it may be more difficult to completely focus on your recovery journey both in the present and ahead of you.

As noted above, we offer a wide range of therapies and treatment at both of our locations. Specifically, these include:
- Dual diagnosis treatment for substance use disorder, mental health, and complex trauma
- Individual, group and family therapy
- Mental health therapy
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
- Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
- Psychiatric Support Services
- Case Management
No matter which substance you are struggling with, we can develop a custom approach to your treatment. Our staff recognizes that your addiction is unique to you, which requires a personalized plan that addresses your specific circumstances.

Update: Watch Love Trumps Hate full documentary below right now:
Millie Weaver challenges anti-Trump protesters to walk with her to see if Trump supporters are as bad as the mainstream media says. The ending is amazing and will leave you speechless.
Anti-Trump protestors verbally abused Infowars reporter Millie Weaver at a Trump rally where they called her "Nazi b*tch" and asked her if they could "grab [her] p***y," as highlighted by The Daily Caller.
Weaver even decided to expose the crassness of the anti-Trump crowd to one of its more mild-mannered protesters by escorting him to the pro-Trump gathering where the difference was night and day.
"He wants to know if he goes [to the Trump rally] he'd be safe and welcomed," asked Millie to a MAGA visor-wearing woman who immediately hugged the man originally from the anti-Trump crowd.
"I will welcome you with open arms," said the woman. "We're all one people right?"
But, before the guest could get too comfortable in the Trump camp, Weaver brought him back to the anti-Trump side to reveal to him the very different treatment an outsider gets in that camp.
"We're going to see if I get treated with love and tolerance," said Weaver while gearing up to cross the divide. "We're going to bring a Trump supporter to see what happens."
If the interlopers weren't being yelled down by megaphones or pushed around, they were having cigarette smoke blown in their face.
"They blew smoke in my face," said Weaver. "The guy just blew a cigarette in my face."
Even the man who Weaver brought on the odyssey was getting wise to the radical left's antics. They had to leave the chaotic scene.
"Wouldn't it be great if liberals actually practiced love?" asked Weaver. "All I ever see or hear from them is intolerance and profanities."
This is just one of the many videos uploaded by The Daily Caller that exposes leftists harassing police officers, more conservatives, and college students.
Tucker Carlson laid waste to Media Matters in his opening monologue about their targeting of him and other conservatives.

I joined the National Deaneries Network over 15 years ago and had the privilege of working as part of the team over many conferences. I am a Parish Priest having served 12 years in the diocese of Bath and Wells, 6 of those years as a Rural Dean and then ten years in the diocese of Newcastle 5 of those again as an Area Dean. I became Chair of the Network some four years ago and greatly value the opportunity of working with our team as we seek to find new ways in which we can reach out to the many dioceses of our Church and serve them promoting and encouraging the work of deaneries. At this exciting time with the Renewal and Reform agenda utmost in our minds, I perceive the role of the deanery ever more critical as we seek to empower all both laity and clergy to be enlivened by God's love and to respond generously to him and his Church.
Category: Steering Group
Ros Brewer
Ros Brewer a member of the National Deaneries Network Team since 2010.
I am a widow, blessed with two married sons and three wonderful granddaughters. My working life was as a nursing sister and nurse practitioner in general practice.
I have been Lay Chair since 2002 and now Lay Dean in the very proactive Deanery of Scarborough in the Diocese of York.
A member of General Synod since 2010, a member of Archbishop's Council and Vice Chair of the Diocesan Mission and Pastoral Committee. I also serve the Diocese in other committees including the recent work of 'Developing our Deaneries' and see deaneries as a gift to encourage and grow the mission and message of Jesus Christ to all.
It is a joy to be part of the Fresh Expressions Team in Scarborough, a Trustee of 'Westway Open Arms' a Christian Social Action Centre which continues to nurture those new to faith and provides sanctuary and help to those in need.
I am privileged as a Spiritual Director to walk alongside those on their faith journey and a member of the team delivering the SPIDIR Course in York Diocese.
Alastair Cutting
Alastair had the value and importance of Deaneries impressed on him by the priest who took his wedding. Having had long term experience in 5 deaneries in Doncaster, Sheffield, Uxbridge, Copthorne and then Henfield in Sussex, he now has a close working relationship with the 6 deaneries in Lewisham & Greenwich Archdeaconry in Southwark, where Alastair has been Archdeacon since 2013. He is married to Kay, and has two grown up daughters.
Phil Brown
Philip Charles Brown
Biggleswade Deanery
St Albans Diocese
Skills. I was trained as a scientist/engineer, but for much of my civil service career I worked as a programme manager. Hence I am very much the bureaucrat or committee animal.
Passion. Ministry to rural communities. I was for 12 years Lay Chair of a semi rural deanery, where agriculture fits into an increasingly dormitory structure, exemplified by the 4 large parishes (out of 19) which contain over 70% of the population. With very good north-south communications along the A1 corridor and good east-west communications between Cambridge and Bedford, many of the population work outside the Deanery and very few in agriculture.
Secondary – the environment. As an engineer, my training highlighted the need to improve efficiency and reduce waste. My passion is that EVERYONE has a personal responsibility to minimise their consumption of the resources provided freely by God.
Phil Brown
Tug Wilson
John (or Tug as he is known in church circles) Wilson is currently Lay Chair of the Lichfield Diocese and a member of General Synod. He has served as a Churchwarden and was Lay Chair of the Lichfield Deanery for over 20 years. He is one of the longest serving members (almost 30 years) on the Steering Group for the National Deaneries Network. For over 10 years now he has looked after the marketing and bookings for the NDN Conferences as well as over seeing the finances.
Tug is passionate about the role of the Deanery. He sees the Deanery as a key element in co-ordinating and deploying resources and supporting Parishes and Dioceses in their task of mission and evangelism. He speaks at events – particularly Deanery and Diocesan Synods – on the role and opportunities for Deaneries. He often comments that if you cut him he bleeds Deanery Blood!
With the publication of the Setting God's People Free report Setting God's People Free Tug is taking a lead in briefing and encouraging Deaneries to become engines of change in culture to enable lay and clergy to work together to support and give lay people confidence to be disciples in their Monday to Saturday lives.
Tug and his wife Ann have been married for 50 years and have two sons. Andrew is married to Sarah and have provided two grandchildren – Alf and Issy. Their other son is Steve who is content to be single.
Away from church Tug is an award winning chef however, he is better known as a Social Entrepreneur. He has spent almost 40 years working with charities and voluntary groups with a particular emphasis on Social Enterprise. He has headed up a number of Charities and, as a consultant, has set up significant Social Enterprises providing services for Older People and other vulnerable groups and food redistribution. For five years he chaired a National Working Party for the Department of Work and Pensions on Older people and Exclusion.
Amongst all of this Tug has found time to set up and run online businesses and develop mobile and online management information and data systems.
Music and singing has always played a key part in relaxing. This has included recording and touring both at home and aboard with pro/am musicals. He now sings with the Lichfield Gospel Choir. With over 100 voices the choir has performed in some of the worlds most prestige venues.
Tim Norwood
Tim is the full-time Area Dean of Milton Keynes, a role focussed on Church growth and the Common Good. He is passionate about collaborative ministry and social justice.
He is chair of Refugees Welcome MK which has welcomed twelve families into Milton Keynes as part of the Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme.

The Hope & Anchor is arguably Brisbane's most atmospheric bar, especially by night when its golden lights beckon passers-by through the historic sash windows, outside tables flicker invitingly with candlelight and inside the beautiful exposed sandstock walls ooze ambience.
Taking inspiration from traditional English pubs, which are local community hubs for anyone, The Hope & Anchor brings that vibe to Paddington, as the place to drop in for a quick 'pint', meet up with friends or enjoy some tasty pub food or even a meal.
Punters can take a seat in the attached courtyard, outside, at the bar or upstairs in wood-panelled leather booths and partake in a tap, bottled or tinnie beer, glass of wine (including house wine), cocktail, spirits and some delicious bar snacks or a light gastropub style meal.
Décor is in keeping with the character English pub feel, with the odd bit of taxidermy on the wall, old sea-faring and black and white photos, flying ducks and collectibles.
Beer at The Hope & Anchor includes 4 craft beers on tap and Bottles and Tins, in true maritime fashion, come from a microbrewery in just about every port: Young Henrys, Green Beacon (Brisbane), Balter XPA (Mick Fanning's Currumbin microbrewery), Cascade (Hobart), Little Creatures (Fremantle, WA), Pirate Life IPA (SA) and 4 Pines (Sydney).
Wine drinkers will find plenty to like, starting with glasses of House Red, White, Rose & Sparkling and taking in a range of some 20 wines, with a decent selection available by the glass or bottle.
There's also a list of Classic Cocktails, including Caprioska, Espresso Martini, Margarita, Mojito, Daiquiri, Old-Fashioned and Negroni. Four specially created house cocktails.
When it comes to eats, what Hope & Anchor offers is simple yet first class. Bar Nibbles include British Classics like Potato Chips along with House-Spiced Nuts, while the English theme continues with staples including a Fish Finger Sandwich (with house-made jalapeno mayo) and a selection of delicious burgers.
Snacks and Small Bites include deliciousness like Beetroot & Goats Cheese Arancini, Crisp Pork Belly bites and Gin Cured Salmon along with a touch of retro – Farmhouse Board with a selection of house made treats like Pork & Rabbit Terrine, Pate and Cheeses.
Those after a meal can avail themselves with something from the 'Bigs" section of the menu with dishes such as Chicken Supreme with Black Garlic and seasonal vegetables, 250g Ribeye or the highly recommended Pork Loin Wellington with black pudding, white onion puree & cabbage, with Sides including Cauliflower Gratin or Shoe String Fries.
And to finish there's two desserts to choose from – Adult's only Doughnuts or Burnt Honey Yoghurt Semifreddo w/ Macadamia, Charred Peach Puree and Spiced Crumb.

Welcome to the Library!
The Clermont Northeastern High School Library is a facility offering books, periodicals and many additional items including videos, DVDs and computer work stations. Almost all items can be checked out by students. Some, however, may be on reserve or circulate overnight only.
Books are checked out for a period of two weeks and are renewable if there are no requests for that particular work. Most books on the shelves are nonfiction and are used for research purposes. Reference books are primarily for in library use but can be checked out for a period. Magazines are available for leisure reading and are located on shelves in the library. Older issues are stored and may be checked out overnight. The circulation desk handles all check outs and returns. Students with overdue materials must clear their record before borrowing again.
Lost or damaged materials must be paid for at the replacement price.
Students who have their Internet access form signed by parent/ guardian are permitted to use the computers providing they abide by the school rules. All library visitors are asked to be considerate of others' need for a quiet place to study, read and research.
As part of the Clermont Northeastern High School English Department requirements, there is required summer reading. These books are available in the library in the Spring or for review in the Fall.

A watch's frequency is measured by the number of semi-oscillations a balance spring makes in the time period of one hour (vibrations per hour, or vph), which can also be expressed in hertz. Hertz (abbreviated as Hz), named for German physicist Heinrich Hertz, is the unit of frequency defining this periodic phenomenon and is calculated by dividing the number of oscillations by the period of time in which they are measured. A watch oscillating at a frequency of 18,000vph (9,000 full oscillations) beats at 2.5Hz (9,000 divided by 3,600 seconds equals 2.5).
As a rule, higher frequency equals higher precision. Until the last decade, the one drawback to this has been the fact that higher frequency also equals faster wear and tear to the movement. Improved materials creating less friction — naturally needing less or no lubrication — have allowed watchmakers to set escapements to higher frequencies to gain more precision. Until about the 1950s, wristwatches were mainly set to a frequency of 18,000vph; since then, frequencies have been steadily rising, with 28,800vph having become the modern norm as a good precision standard.
The number of vibrations per hour also determines how time is broken up on the dial — the "steps" that a seconds hand makes. For instance, 18,000vph equals a vibration duration of one-fifth of a second, resulting in five jumps of the seconds hand per second. Correspondingly, 21,600vph (3Hz) equals a vibration duration of one-sixth of a second; 28,800vph (4Hz), one-eighth of a second; and 36,000vph (5Hz), 1/10th of a second.
