This morning we left the Victorian High Country after coming third in the Merrijig Hunt Club trivia night, winning and enjoying a free pizza and enduring a couple of days of rain. We left Merrijig, went to Mansfield, then made tracks to the Thoona Pub. Thoona is a very small town and we decided to visit the pub there as it is owned by Ziggy's family and he wanted to visit them on the way through. We stopped there for a beer and some lunch and then continued on to Cobram. Most of the roads on our journey, were long and straight and would be dangerous if you were tired.
It took us a little while to set up again but we are now sitting by the Murray River in Cobram. There is something about the Murray that feels like home. I have been coming here since I was a child and it is beautiful, familiar and a unique part of our country. We wanted to camp at our normal camp ground Dead River but due to recent flooding the road to that spot was corroded and inaccessable. We then tried to get the Big Tom's, which is another popular camp area here but this road is also blocked off due to flood damage. So, here we are at Little Tom's, it's less roomy and different to Dead River but it is still nice. We have friends and family coming to meet us here during our two week stay to say a final goodbye to us before we head off on the rest of our trip.

Current Status
Last Updated: June 15, 2022
The Bureau of Reclamation announced on May 3, 2022, two separate urgent drought response actions that will help prop up Lake Powell by nearly 1 million acre-feet (maf) of water over the next 12 months (May 2022 through April 2023). To protect Lake Powell, more water will flow into the lake from upstream reservoirs and less water will be released downstream:
- Under a Drought Contingency Plan adopted in 2019, approximately 500 thousand acre-feet (kaf) of water will come from Flaming Gorge Reservoir, located approximately 455 river miles upstream of Lake Powell.
- Another 480 kaf will be left in Lake Powell by reducing Glen Canyon Dam's annual release volume from 7.48 maf to 7.0 maf, as outlined in the 2007 Interim Guidelines that control operations of Glen Canyon Dam and Hoover Dam.
The plan can be found at the following website: https://www.usbr.gov/dcp/droa.html.
For additional information, see the following news release: https://www.usbr.gov/newsroom/#/news-release/4196.
The Department of the Interior is conducting the fifth experimental flow at Glen Canyon Dam since implementing its Long-Term Experimental and Management Plan (LTEMP). The goal is to provide enhanced habitat for the lifecycle of aquatic insects that are the primary food source for fish in the Colorado River.
Experiments under LTEMP consist of four different flow regimes: high flows, macroinvertebrate flows (bug flows), trout management flows, and low summer flows. Collaborative discussions among technical experts resulted in a decision to begin this fourth consecutive year of the bug flow experiment on May 1 and continue through August 31, 2022. It will slightly modify the schedule and flow rates of water releases from Lake Powell through Glen Canyon Dam, Arizona. The normally scheduled monthly and weekly release volumes will not be affected.
Flows during the experiment will include steady weekend water releases with routine hydropower production flows on weekdays that include normal hourly changes in release rates. Those steady weekend flows are expected to provide favorable conditions for aquatic insects to lay and cement their eggs to rocks, vegetation, and other materials near the river's edge. Steady weekend flows will be relatively low, within two inches of typical weekday low water levels. It is unlikely casual recreational river users will notice the changes in water levels. Hourly releases in June 2022 will fluctuate from a low of approximately 8,600 cfs during the early morning hours to a high of 14,582 cfs during the afternoon and evening hours. On weekend days in June 2022, releases will be steady near 9,350 cfs. The Glen Canyon Dam Implementation Team will closely monitor the condition of resources during the experiment and may terminate implementation at any time if unanticipated negative impacts are observed or are likely to occur due to ongoing drought and low lake levels.
Insects expected to benefit from this experiment are an important food source for many species of fish, birds, and bats in the canyon. Beyond expected resource benefits, this experiment will also provide scientific information that will be used in future decision making. Although every effort will be made to match the design of the experiment described above, Reclamation will continue to exercise the operational flexibility described in the LTEMP ROD. Additional information can be found on the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management website here: https://www.usbr.gov/uc/progact/amp/ltemp.html

The unregulated inflow volume to Lake Powell during May was 1,381,500 thousand acre-feet (kaf) (67 percent of average). The release volume from Glen Canyon Dam in May was 598 kaf. The end of May elevation and storage of Lake Powell were 3,531.69 feet (168 feet from full pool) and 6.34 million acre-feet (maf) (26 percent of live capacity), respectively.

Current Operations
The operating tier for water year 2022 (October 2021 through September 2022) was established in August 2021 as the Mid-Elevation Release Tier consistent with Section 6.C.1 of the Interim Guidelines. The August 2021 24-Month study projected the January 1, 2022, Lake Powell elevation to be less than 3,575 feet and at or above 3,525 feet and the Lake Mead elevation to be at or above 1,025 feet. As previously mentioned, in light of the prolonged drought, low runoff conditions, and depleted storage at Lake Powell, the Department of the Interior implemented an action under Sections 6 and 7.D of the 2007 Interim Guidelines specifically reducing the Glen Canyon Dam annual releases to 7.0 maf in water year 2022.
As previously mentioned, in light of the prolonged drought, low runoff conditions, and depleted storage at Lake Powell, the Department of the Interior implemented an action under Sections 6 and 7.D of the 2007 Interim Guidelines specifically reducing the Glen Canyon Dam annual releases to 7.0 maf in water year 2022.
In addition to daily scheduled fluctuations for power generation, the instantaneous releases from Glen Canyon Dam may also fluctuate to provide 40 megawatts (MW) of system regulation. These instantaneous release adjustments stabilize the electrical generation and transmission system and translate to a range of about 1,100 cfs above or below the hourly scheduled release rate. Under system normal conditions, fluctuations for regulation are typically short lived and generally balance out over the hour with minimal or no noticeable impacts on downstream river flow conditions.
Releases from Glen Canyon Dam can also fluctuate beyond scheduled releases when called upon to respond to unscheduled power outages or power system emergencies. Depending on the severity of the system emergency, the response from Glen Canyon Dam can be significant, within the full range of the operating capacity of the power plant for as long as is necessary to maintain balance in the transmission system. Glen Canyon Dam currently maintains 30 mw (approximately 800 cfs) of generation capacity in reserve in order to respond to a system emergency even when generation rates are already high. System emergencies occur fairly infrequently and typically require small responses from Glen Canyon Dam. However, these responses can have a noticeable impact on the river downstream of Glen Canyon Dam.
Inflow Forecasts and Model Projections
The forecast for water year 2022 unregulated inflow to Lake Powell, issued on June 3, 2022, by the Colorado Basin River Forecast Center, projects that the most probable (median) unregulated inflow volume this year will be 5.61 maf (58 percent of average).
In addition to the June 2022 24-Month Study based on the Most Probable inflow scenario, and in accordance with the Drought Response Operational Agreement (DROA)), Reclamation has conducted model runs in June to determine a possible range of reservoir elevations under probable most, maximum and minimum inflow scenarios. The probable minimum and probable maximum model runs are conducted simultaneously in January, April, August, and October, or when necessary to incorporate changing conditions. The probable minimum inflow scenario reflects a dry hydrologic condition which statistically would be exceeded 90 percent of the time. The most probable inflow scenario reflects a median hydrologic condition which statistically would be exceeded 50 percent of the time. The probable maximum inflow scenario reflects a wet hydrologic condition which statistically would be exceeded 10 percent of the time. There is approximately an 80 percent probability that a future elevation will fall inside the range of the minimum and maximum inflow scenarios. Additionally, there are possible inflow scenarios that would result in reservoir elevations falling outside the ranges indicated in these reports.
The DROA coordination will continue until either (i) the minimum probable projected elevation remains above 3,525 feet for 24 months or (ii) the process moves to the next step when the most probable projected elevation indicates Powell elevations below 3,525 feet and a Drought Response Operations Plan is developed. This 2022 Plan is described above and available for review here: https://www.usbr.gov/dcp/droa.html.
The June forecast for water year 2022 ranges from a minimum probable of 5.04 maf (52 percent of average) to a maximum probable of 6.61 maf (69 percent of average) with the most probable forecast for water year 2022 of 5.61 maf (58 percent of average). There is a 10 percent chance that inflows could be higher than the current maximum probable forecast and a 10 percent chance that inflows could be lower than the minimum probable forecast.
Based on the current forecast of 5.61 maf unregulated inflow for water year 2022, the June 24-Month Study projects Lake Powell elevation will end water year 2022 near 3525.79 feet with approximately 5.98 maf in storage (25 percent of capacity). Note that projections of elevation and storage for water year 2022 have significant uncertainty at this point in the season. Projections of end of water year 2022 elevation using the minimum and maximum inflow forecast results from the June 2022 model run are 3,521.64 feet and 3,534.05 feet, respectively. The annual release volume from Lake Powell during water year 2022 will be 7.0 maf as determined under Section 6.C.1 and 7.D of the Interim Guidelines as determined by the Department of the Interior.
Upper Colorado River Basin Hydrology
Upper Colorado River Basin regularly experiences significant year to year hydrologic variability. During the 22-year period 2000 to 2021, however, the unregulated inflow to Lake Powell, which is a good measure of hydrologic conditions in the Colorado River Basin, was above average in only 5 out of the past 22 years. The period 2000-2021 is the lowest 22-year period since the closure of Glen Canyon Dam in 1963, with an average unregulated inflow of 8.46 maf, or 88 percent of the 30-year average (1991-2020). (For comparison, the 1991-2020 total water year average is 9.60 maf.) The unregulated inflow during the 2000-2021 period has ranged from a low of 2.64 maf (28 percent of average) in water year 2002 to a high of 15.97 maf (166 percent of average) in water year 2011. In water year 2021 unregulated inflow volume to Lake Powell was 3.50 maf (36 percent of average), the second driest year on record above 2002. Under the current most probable forecast, the total water year 2022 unregulated inflow to Lake Powell is projected to be 5.61 maf (58 percent of average).
At the beginning of water year 2022, total system storage in the Colorado River Basin was 22.80 maf (38 percent of 59.60 maf total system capacity). This is a decrease of 5.97 maf over the total storage at the beginning of water year 2021 when total system storage was 28.77 maf (48 percent of capacity). Since the beginning of water year 2000, total Colorado Basin storage has experienced year to year increases and decreases in response to wet and dry hydrology, ranging from a high of 94 percent of capacity at the beginning of 2000 to the now current level of 38 percent of capacity at the beginning of water year 2022. Based on current inflow forecasts, the current projected end of water year 2022 total Colorado Basin reservoir storage is approximately 19.56 maf (33 percent of total system capacity). The actual end of water year 2022 system storage may vary from this projection, primarily due to uncertainty regarding this season's runoff and reservoir inflow.

Buttercream is, fundamentally, an emulsion made up of a mixture of fats and liquids. As with all emulsions, if the conditions aren't right, the liquids and fats might not bond together to form a stable emulsion. When you see your Buttercream break, you see it fall apart into its constituent parts.
What does broken buttercream look like?
If your buttercream is too cold, the butter and meringue will split apart. Typically this will make it look sort of curdled. You might see small clumps of butter with white liquid oozing around it. To fix split buttercream, all you have to do is gently heat the buttercream.
Is it safe to eat split buttercream?
Assuming it split while mixing, and all of the ingredients were fresh individually, yes it is safe. You can use it, although it may be unsightly.
Why has my buttercream split?
If your buttercream frosting has split that will be due to it being too hot or too cold. The same goes for your cream cheese frosting, except cream cheese frosting will split much quicker if overbeaten. If it is too hot or too cool you can help matters by cooling or warming the mixture gently.
How do you stiffen buttercream icing?
Steps Chill the frosting to thicken it without adding more ingredients. Use powdered sugar to easily thicken the buttercream frosting. Add cornstarch in 0.5 tsp (2.5 ml) increments to thicken sweet frosting. Mix 1 US tbsp (15 ml) of butter into the frosting to thicken it without altering the taste.
Why is my buttercream not fluffy?
Sometimes floppy-looking buttercream has happened simply because your cakes haven't cooled down enough so that the heat from them rises up and begins to melt your swirls of frosting. Allow your cake or cupcakes to cool fully.
How can I thicken buttercream without icing sugar?
If you are trying to avoid adding more sugar to an already sweet dessert, try adding a flavor-appropriate thickening agent to your frosting. These thickening agents include: cornstarch, gelatin, cream cheese, cocoa powder, cold heavy cream, tapioca, arrowroot starch, flour and even butter.
Does buttercream icing harden in the fridge?
Simple buttercream frosted cakes (mixture of confectioners' sugar and butter): Store at room temperature about 3 days or up to 1 week in refrigerator. If storing in the refrigerator, it's best to chill the cake uncovered for about 20 minutes in the freezer or refrigerator to let the frosting harden.
How do you color buttercream without it splitting?
The simplest way to prevent your buttercream from separating is not to use liquid colorings at all. Liquid colorings, especially those from the supermarket, are relatively weak and are best used a drop or two at a time to create pastels and gentle hues.
Can I add flour to buttercream?
First off, there are two ways of making this buttercream. Some people, including The Pioneer Woman, make it by combining flour and milk in a saucepan and cooking it until it becomes a thick paste. Once cool, this paste is beaten into softened butter with a whole lot of granulated sugar.
Why is my buttercream watery?
Simple (American) Buttercream – A runny American buttercream is usually caused by adding too much milk (or other liquid ingredients). If your buttercream has additional ingredients, such as sour cream, it will have a softer consistency than frosting made with butter alone, but extra sugar can still help thicken it up.
Can I leave buttercream frosted cupcakes out overnight?
Buttercream frosted cupcakes are good for up to two days (they are fine at room temperature) and cream cheese frosted cupcakes need to be refrigerated if kept for the second day. How should cupcakes be stored? Always keep them in an airtight container to prevent contamination and to prevent air from drying them out.
Why does my buttercream taste weird?
If you use too much extract, your icing can become bitter. I actually use emulsion and extract in my buttercream and it works perfectly! I really like this one , especially if you use all shortening or don't use all butter. This one is really unique and has a light almond-lemon flavor to it.
What can I add to buttercream to make it less sweet?
The best way to counteract this flavor and make it less sweet is to take your butter, melt it, and mix it with powdered sugar, salt, and milk in a stainless steel bowl. This helps to remove the metallic taste, and the salt helps to keep the sweetness down to a level that people enjoy.
How long can buttercream sit out?
How Long Can Buttercream Sit Out at Room Temperature? A buttercream made with a recipe consisting of butter and shortening can generally sit out at room temperature for up to 2 days. We suggest covering your treat with plastic wrap or placing it in a cake carrier to prevent your buttercream from crusting too much.
What to do if you run out of icing sugar?
If you have run out of icing sugar or can't find any to buy, you can make your own by whizzing granulated or caster sugar in a food processor, powerful blender, standard blender, coffee or spice grinder, or more laboriously, in a mortar and pestle.
How do you harden icing?
Chilling and adding sugar are the two tastiest ways to harden tub frosting. Simply place the tub in the refrigerator and chill for a few hours, depending on the size of the tub, to firm up the frosting. Add sugar to the frosting by first scooping the desired amount of frosting from the tub and placing it in a bowl.
How do you make homemade frosting thicker?
Most frostings contain powdered sugar, or icing sugar, and the most common way to thicken a runny frosting is by gradually mixing in a bit more powdered sugar to offset the liquid ingredients. Sprinkle in 1 to 2 tbsp (15 to 30 mL) of powdered sugar at a time, then stir it in and check the consistency.
How long can buttercream icing stay in the fridge?
When stored properly, buttercream frosting can last in the fridge for up to a month, and in the freezer for up to three months. Why would you want to make buttercream ahead of time?Apr 6, 2019.
What is the best food Colouring for buttercream?
I recommend using Americolor Super Black to color your buttercream.
How do you keep vegan buttercream from splitting?
How to stop it splitting. If your buttercream starts looking soft and floppy, just stick it in the fridge (or freezer if it will fit) for 15 minutes. You'll see it stiffen up and be able to work with it again.

In British folklore, a boggart (or bogart, bogan, bogle or boggle) is a household spirit which causes things to disappear, milk to sour, and dogs to go lame. Always malevolent, the boggart will follow its family wherever they flee. In Northern England, at least, there was the belief that the boggart should never be named, for when the boggart was given a name, it would not be reasoned with or persuaded and become uncontrollable and destructive.
It is said that the boggart crawls into people's beds at night and puts a clammy hand on their faces. Sometimes he strips the bedsheets off them. Sometimes a boggart will also pull on a person's ears. Hanging a horseshoe on the door of a house is said to keep a boggart away.
In the folklore of North-West England, boggarts live under bridges on dangerous sharp bends on roads, and it is considered bad luck for drivers not to offer their polite greetings as they cross.
The Farmer and the Boggart
In one old tale said to originate from the village of Mumby in the Lincolnshire countryside, the boggart is described as being rather squat, hairy and smelly. The story goes that a farmer bought a patch of land that was inhabited by the boggart. When the farmer tried to cultivate the field the boggart got angry, and after much arguing they decided to work the land together and share the bounty. The farmer, however, being greedy, began to ponder a way to cheat the boggart out of his share. When they were debating what to plant, he asked the boggart, 'Which half of the crop do you want for your share, the part below the ground or the part above it?' The boggart thought for a while before answering 'The part below the ground.' The farmer sowed the field with barley. At harvest time the farmer boasted a big pile of barley while all the boggart had to show for his work was stubble. It flew into a rage and screeched that next time it would take what lay above the ground. The next time the farmer sowed the field with potatoes. At harvest time the farmer laughed as he claimed his massive pile of potatoes while the boggart was yet again left with nothing to show for his efforts. Simmering with rage, the boggart stormed off, never to return again.
Popular culture
There is a large municipal park called 'Boggart Hole Clough,' which is bordered by Moston and Blackley in Manchester, England. Clough is a northern dialect word for a steep sided, wooded valley; a large part of Boggart Hole Clough is made up of these valleys and are said to be inhabited by Boggarts. Supposed mysterious disappearances over the years, particularly in the early 19th century, were often attributed to the Boggart of the Clough.
Boggles are evil creatures in the Chronicles of Narnia, a series of fantasy novels by C. S. Lewis.
On Puck, a moon of Uranus, there is a crater named "Bogle," in deference to the system of nomenclature on this satellite, whose features are all named after various mischievous spirits.
Hairy Boggart is in the Monster in My Pocket series. He is very skinny, hairy, and carries a scythe, as per a particular folktale in which a human farmer steals the Boggart's land and comes up with various ways to keep the Boggart from farming it.
Tasha Tudor's Corgi-related picture books feature friendly brownies which will, if neglected, turn into a nasty household boggart.
In the Harry Potter books, boggarts are creatures that lurk dark, damp areas in magical buildings and shape-shift (into the terrifying form of whatever the person who sees them fears most) to scare humans into leaving them alone (see Boggart in Harry Potter(.
In the The Wardstone Chronicles series of books by Joseph Delaney (known as The Last Apprentice in the US), boggarts are potentially dangerous creatures which can be bound or used helpfully.
In Chile, a young journalist from the University of Santiago, uses the Boggart name as a signature for his works. He publishes personal commentaries, photographies and reflections on the use of computer tools and the internet. His real name is Fernando Olmos Galleguillos, born 30th June 1985 in the coastal city of San Antonio.
In The Spiderwick Chronicles, when a brownie gets angry, it turns into a boggart.
Bogart is a family name, of which the most well-known is the actor Humphrey Bogart.
In the most recent block of Magic: The Gathering, named "Lorwyn", Boggarts are a new version of the series staple, Goblins. They differ from normal goblins in that they are predominately black aligned as opposed to red. Facevaulter
Boggart is a friendly creature living in a bog in the Septimus Heap series written by Angie Sage beginning with Magyk.
The author Susan Cooper has written two children's novels based around a Boggart who lives in Scotland, 'The Boggart' and 'The Boggart and the Monster'.
The White Wolf game Changeling: The Dreaming contains Boggans as a playable race (or Kith), which are portrayed as helpful, gossiping creatures occasionally found in Hearths who enjoy housework

Harlem Globetrotters Star Fred 'Curly' Neal Dies at 77
Fred "Curly" Neal, one of the most well-known members of the Harlem Globetrotters thanks to his almost superhuman dribbling skills, died Thursday morning at the age of 77. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Neal died in his home outside of Houston. "We have lost one of the most genuine human beings the world has ever known," said Globetrotters General Manager Jeff Munn in a statement on Twitter. "Curly's basketball skill was unrivaled by most, and his warm heart and huge smile brought joy to families worldwide." Between 1963 and 1985, Neal appeared in over 6,000 games in 97 countries for the team—and even appeared on shows like the The Ed Sullivan Show, Love Boat, Gilligan's Island, and Scooby Doo. Neal, known as a ball-handling wizard on the court, was recognizable by his shaved head and wide smile. The team retired his number 22, one of the only five the team has ever retired. "Hard to express how much joy Curly Neal brought to my life growing up. RIP to a legend," Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr wrote in a tweet.

Evergrande Leads Crypto Selloff and Blockchain Market to Reach $37.9 Billion 2025
The volatility of the crypto market has been brought to light – this time, a massive sell-off was triggered by Evergrande. The Chinese real estate giant currently has more than $305 billion in liabilities.
The property developers had alerted banks that it would be unable to repay debts that were due this month. After that, the prices of its shares plunged to an 11-year low. The losses that began in the real estate industry quickly spread to other markets.
As a result, the crypto market lost more than 11% of its value (over $250 million) in 24 hours. The valuation of the entire crypto market dipped below $2 trillion as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, Solana all plunged.
The total valuation of the crypto market. Source: TradingView
- While the crypto market is experiencing a significant sell-off, a new market research report is bullish about the future of blockchain
- According to the report, the blockchain market size expected to grow from $3.0 billion in 2020 to $39.7 billion by 2025
Why You Should Care
The sell-off shows that the crypto markets remain connected to other real-world assets, while market research confirms that blockchain is tomorrow's technology.
Coinbase Halts Lending Program + Robinhood Could Allow Withdrawals Soon
Following an initial rejection of threats of a lawsuit by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Coinbase has cancelled its 'Lend' product launch. The SEC had sent a Wells notice to Coinbase stating that it would sue the exchange if they launched the crypto lending product.
While Coinbase played hardball with the SEC, the CEO of Coinbase, Brian Armstrong, described the SEC's behaviour as "incomplete."
- While Coinbase has hit a roadblock with the SEC with regards to its lending program, the popular exchange, Robinhood could be experiencing a breakthrough
- Robinhood is currently testing a crypto wallet that will support cryptocurrency transfer features, and users could possibly get a direct withdrawal from Robinhood
Why You Should Care
There is a growing intensity of regulatory agencies in the crypto industry. As government agencies seek to make currencies more accountable and transparent, they could impose more restrictions on crypto services.
Favorable Regulation Push in Miami, Texas, and Massachusetts
The city commission of Miami has voted to access about $5 million worth of MiamiCoin, a cryptocurrency unique to the city. Mayor Francis Suarez shared the news on his Twitter:
The @CityofMiami decision to accept the gift contributions generated by the @mineCityCoins Protocol-currently valued at $4.3M-represents a major milestone in Miami's quest to become a crypto innovation hub 🚀— Mayor Francis Suarez (@FrancisSuarez) September 14, 2021
Funds that will directly impact the lives of all our residents! https://t.co/pcrY4PwD06
The crypto-friendly trend continues in Texas, where a survey has concluded that more people are inclined towards friendly regulations of the industry. According to the survey, more than 40% of voters in Texas support crypto-friendly regulations.
Things are not so different in Massachusetts, where the Boston Blockchain Association (BBA), in conjunction with Media Shower and the Chamber of Digital Commerce, have called for regulatory clarity of the crypto industry.
The alliance has released a crypto regulatory toolkit for lawmakers in the state. In addition, the trio is looking to work with the government to ensure favourable regulatory clarity in the state.
- While countries are looking to create crypto-friendly regulations, the President of Turkey has announced that the government is at war with crypto
Why You Should Care
The push for friend regulations could play a crucial role in the adoption of cryptos in these regions. Ultimately, cryptos will need friendly regulations to reach their full potential.
NFT Artist Donates to Journalism + Football NFT Platform Raises $680M
NFTs have experienced another major boom, with their use spreading across almost every sector. In a new development, Fortune Magazine and the famous NFT artist, pplpleasr, have donated half of their auction to journalism.
In the August auction, Fortune and pplpleasr raised over 429 ETH, or $1.3 million. Half of the raised amount, approximately $658k in ETH, has been donated evenly to four journalistic organizations.
One of the most famous NFT sports platforms, Sorare, has raised the largest-ever fund to be raised by an NFT platform. The funding round was led by SoftBank Vision Fund, LionTree, Bessemer Ventures, IVP, Hillhouse and Atomico.
On September 21, Sorare announced it had raised $680 million in its Series B fundraising event. As a result, the European fantasy football and NFT collectable platform now has a valuation of $4.3 billion.
- As NFTs become more popular, there has been a growing trend of hacks on NFT platforms
- In August, one of the biggest NFT hacks played out, with approximately $3 million stolen from SushiSwap
Why You Should Care
Because of their immutability, NFTs are referred to as the future of digital art. Already, sales of NFTs have reached an all-time high, with collectables piercing through almost every industry.

Abdurrahman Mohamed Shalgham, Libya's former ambassador to the United Nations falsified to Ean Libya all rumours began circulating on social media about his participation in an Italian radio forum on ISIS role in Libya and the death of two Italians in Sabratha.
In the Italian forum, attended by Italian former Chief Commander, and former Italian President, G. Napolitano, there was a panoramic presentation of how to solve Libya's crisis in which Shalgham elaborated on Libya's political history and the absence of the state concept among politicians.
"There are so many parties in Libya that are using ISIS presence in the country, among which some of Gaddafi regime loyalists who are remaining in the scene." Said Shalgham.
Answering a question about the possible solution for the Libyan crisis, he said there must be one unity government that can fight terrorism and bring back stability and security to the country.

Twisting streets, stairs that lead into other stairs, backstreets that lead to more backstreets, ladders, elevators and secret passages, and you can even climb the giant dragon. It turns my brain to mush trying to remember every single corner I did and did not explore, but I made the effort, went in blind and had a blast. It's very fun to explore every nook and cranny of this place, and it's rewarding to even be here after so much damn buildup. Oh, everything is gold white and very pretty. This is now my favorite area in the game.ReplyReplies (1)

Why are all of the doors sealed in leyndell, and why are no civilians are on the streets at all? its quite confusing why such a big city has less civilians on the streets than any other village, and their are even more people outside of the capital than the inside. i mean it just doesnt make sense, and to me it seems that the city is pretty much completely abandoned, except for a few pages, perfumers, and a ton of soldiers.ReplyReplies (8)

I've just gotten an ash of war called thunderbolt that isn't listed here or on the map, from the avenue balcony site of grace go down the steps but don't go through the gate after the stairs going down, there is a dragon knight with a greatbow straight in front of you, I haven't been able to get far using stealth, it sees me right away and starts spamming the great bow. If you can hit him at range then duck straight back inside the doorway he will come looking for you and is easily dealt with in close quarters. There are another two of these knights but neither one has a greatbow, there is one patrolling back and forth on the far right as you walk through the gate, and there is another one standing guard behind the long building on your left, once you have killed the knights walk to the railings on the left and the scarab that drops the thunderbolt ash of war will be below you. it's stronger than the scarabs iv'e seen up to now, took two fully charged casts of frenzied burst to kill it.ReplyReplies (0)

Bypassing the Divine Bridge elevator via Taunter's Tongue invasion still works. I was lvl 46 with +7 weapon (stat-wise Faith is my highest stat at 29). All I had to do was to enable invasions by using a Furlcalling Finger Remedy and Taunter's Tongue at the top of the elevator. I had to wait around 30 minutes for this to work so be patient! After waiting around, an invader spawned in at the bottom of the elevator and activated it to rise up. I was then able to activate the elevator both up and down positions.

The breeds displayed above are referred to as "Basic Breeds." However, it is possible to create dragons even from the most fundamental breeds. But keep in mind that no breed is guaranteed. You can explore with a variety of new breeds.
Breeding Dragons in Generation 2: Rare Breed
The generation 2 dragon breeds that are feasible from generation 1 are listed below. Please be aware that not all of these chances will be successful; there may be other ways to successfully breed the Dragon City dragon you're after. For your convenience, we have utilized the symbol () to indicate the fundamental component for each individual Generation 1 dragon.
Dark + Mud (Terra + Sea) = Poop.
Pirate is Medieval (Flame + Metal) + Alpine (Ice + Terra) or Soccer, Pearl, Armadillo, or Flaming Rock Neon (Dark + Electric).
Oil = Zombie + Mud (Terra + Sea).
Dandelion (Nature + Ice) + Laser (Flame + Electric) = Gummy, Fluorescent, or Laser.
Special Notes About Dragons:
Laser (Flame + Electric), Dandelion (Nature + Ice), Firebird, and Ice can also be used to obtain Cool Flame.
Additionally, you can get armadillo by combining mediaeval and alpine, pearl and alpine, jade and star, zombie and mud, and pearl and burning rock. dragon
Firebird + fluorescent, Firebird + star, Jade + star, and neon + nenuphar are more ways to obtain gummy.
Other combinations that can produce a pirate include rattlesnake + lanternfish and neon + cloud.
It should also be highlighted that the Medieval + Alpine dragon breeding formula is one of the greatest in Dragon City because it can produce a variety of hybrid rares.
The "Generation 2" dragons that were bred above. However, there is no restriction on reproduction. Breeds from generation two can be crossed again.
Generation 3 Dragon Breeding – Legendary
The legendary rank's dragon breeding list is…pretty scarce. To even have a chance of landing one of these dragons, you really have to rely on luck. We do not yet know the exact formula for these Dragon City breeds because the elements connected to these unusual breeds are highly intricate.
Cool Fire Dragon and Soccer Dragon are both legendary dragons.
Soccer Mirror Dragon – Gummi Dragon – Crystal Dragon – Cookfire Dragon
Soccer plus Cool Fire Dragon, Gummi Dragon, and Wind Dragon
A fully fledged adult dragon is what Dragon City refers to as a "Pure Dragon."
However, since feeding a dragon is extremely expensive, you can produce a pure dragon straight away.
Generation 4 and 5 Pure Dragon Breeding – The Pure Dragons
The most recent update in Dragon City employs all of the legendary dragons you have acquired: the pure dragon. Because of its unicorn-like appearance, some individuals also refer to the Pure dragon as the "Unicorn" dragon. The Pure Dragon, however, is Dragon City's official name. This particular type of dragon has its own Pure and Pure elemental home. The steps for obtaining these pure dragons in Dragon City are listed below.
Pure and Pure Element ranking creation has been purposefully divided. Before you can begin breeding Pure Elements, you must first have Pure Dragon, which effectively puts Pure Elements one generation behind Dragon City Pure Dragon.
It should be emphasized once more that there is a probability of Pure Dragon not breeding. Based on our limited testing, we predict that there is a 30–50%, or possibly lower, possibility of breeding the Pure Dragon. When you breed two legendary dragons together, you have a chance of getting any possible dragon combination as a result.
Dragon of Generation 4: The Pure
Simply Dragon – any crossbreeding of legendary status dragons, including Legendary, Crystal, Mirror, and Wind. For instance, Crystal + Mirror, Crystal + Legendary, and…
The Pure Element Dragons are from Generation 5.
Once you acquire the pure dragons, you can cross-breed the pure element dragons with their elemental equivalents using the pure dragon from Dragon City. A list of every single one of these dragons is provided below.
Dragon plus nature equals pure nature.
Pure Dragon plus Flame Dragon equals Pure Flame.
Pure Dragon plus Terra Dragon equals Pure Terra.
Sea Dragon + Pure Dragon equals Pure Sea.
Pure Dragon with Electric Dragon equals Pure Electric.
Ice Dragon + Pure Dragon equals Pure Ice.
Dragon + Metal + Pure Metal = Pure Metal
Pure Dragon plus Dark Dragon becomes Pure Dark.
Advice Particulars on Pure Dragon Breeding and Hatching Period:
The pure dragon breeding combo takes a whopping 48 hours to complete. Special advice on pure dragon breeding and hatching time. Any "pure" dragons from the City hatch in 48 hours as well. The total time required for pure dragons to breed and hatch is 96 hours, or 4 days. Make sure you have adequate backup dragons before breeding these because they will clog up your breeding and hatching queue. Your available legendary dragons won't be able to fight for the first two days after being placed in breeding areas.
Notes: Rarity Booster for Dragon City Breeding
Breeding Rarity Booster is a new tool that the Dragon City developer just launched last week and may be utilised to increase your breeding chances. We have calculated the rate to be around "double" the initial breeding chance based on the early tests we conducted.
This implies that, "if," you now have a 30% chance of obtaining legendary-ranked dragons, the rarity booster will increase your chances to 60%. However, using the same logic, Pure and Pure Element combinations really don't benefit much from rarity boosters. We put the likelihood of breeding Pure rated dragons at 5–10%.Thus, the rarity enhancer only effectively provides you with 5%–10% more (nevertheless it still doubles the chance which helps you get them twice as fast, or even faster). Please take note that we do not precisely know what percentage of breeding opportunities exist; all we know is that the rarity booster depends on the original "rare" opportunity.
Update for Dragon Breeding Times
By giving the dragons varying breeding schedules over the course of the last week or so, Social Point appears to be conducting some testing. The bulk of players now appear to have received this test, which we now refer to as a breeding time update.
Prior to the update, the dragon pair's parents alone would determine when to breed. The Dragon City breeding period is now directly correlated with the rarity of the egg hybrid offspring as a result of this upgrade. For instance, producing legendary and pure level eggs may need up to 24–48 hours. It typically takes 4 to 16 hours for generation 12 hybrids. This upgrade is beneficial in that it allows you to complete more breeding attempts in a shorter amount of time. This indicates that if you play continuously throughout the day, you can acquire your rares more quickly. Failed non-rare eggs will just require less time to breed.

Still tomorrow's truck?
OEMs are adamant that hybrid powertrains are the wave of the future. So why aren't there more of them on the road?
It was nearly 10 years ago when medium-duty hybrid-drive trucks first emerged in the North American market. The new powertrain offered a few fuel economy benefits, and it appeared that hybrids could evolve into more than a niche product beyond powering refuse trucks with their extreme stop-and-start duty cycles or utility trucks that could use the system as a powerful mobile generator to work quietly and efficiently in areas where noise was a factor.
In hindsight, the hybrid truck's early development was fortuitous as it provided both automobile and truck manufacturers a weapon to counter escalating fuel prices at the end of the decade. Today, research into hybrid technology is accelerating, and every month it seems yet another automotive or heavy-duty truck manufacturer is adding a new hybrid model to its lineup.
But the hybrid market remains small compared to the huge volume of conventional gasoline and diesel powertrains sold every year. Why aren't we seeing more hybrids on the road? The answer: You are – and you will.
"The hybrid truck market is definitely growing and has been over the past couple of years due to the increase in availability of these systems," says Dimitri Kazarinoff, vice president and general manager of Eaton Hybrid Power Systems, a pioneering developer of hybrid technology. "We've also been expanding the applicability of the system to different specific vocations, and that's helped to drive up adoption."
Still, Kazarinoff says, hybrid numbers remain small in terms of overall penetration. "In the past couple of years, we've seen a doubling of hybrid volume in North America," he says. "This year will probably do somewhere around a 60 to 75 percent increase on top of that. We're seeing significant growth, albeit from a small base."
That number currently is less than 1 percent of the overall market, according to David Bryant, vocational sales manager of hybrids for Freightliner Trucks. That's largely because of the higher purchase price that hybrids currently demand. "The tipping point with hybrid trucks right now is in the componentry," Bryant says. Because of the relatively low volumes being sold now, component costs remain high. "As we continue to see higher usage, the economies of scale will tip, and costs will go down."
The big payback
In some cases, hybrid trucks cost as much as 60 percent more than a truck with a conventional powertrain. That's enough of a premium to make even the most green-minded truck buyer balk.
The cost of the hybrid system and components and subsequent pricing remains a major inhibitor at the moment, says Darren Gosbee, director of electric vehicle and hybrid powertrain product development for Navistar. "The decision to purchase a hybrid truck really comes back to one thing, and that's payback." For Gosbee, that payback can be from either incentives or fuel economy – or both.
Luckily, incentives are available to help get those high initial costs under control. Certain government incentives can offset the cost of hybrids completely. State and federal incentives have improved the payback for hybrid trucks, such as a California voucher program and Internal Revenue Service tax credits, as well as Clean Cities money from stimulus funds. "Depending on the application and the customer, they have different abilities to access some of those incentives," Kazarinoff says.
As with any truck, calculating a ROI for a hybrid depends upon its application, which in turn will determine the fuel economy improvement a hybrid truck provides over a vehicle with a conventional powertrain. Because of the relatively lower cost of fuel today and the relatively high incremental cost associated with hybrids, that payback is out in the seven- to nine-year timeframe, Gosbee says.
Should fuel prices rise again, that dynamic would change radically, but as things stand now, there is no magic number in terms of fuel prices where hybrids suddenly become irresistible. Instead, there is a bandwidth of fuel pricing where hybrid ROI begins to accelerate dramatically.
"When you start talking about $4 to $4.50 for a gallon of diesel fuel, the payback time on a hybrid purchase starts to shorten significantly," Gosbee says. "The amount of money you can save rises very quickly as fuel prices continue to rise."
Kazarinoff says that in some applications, an attractive ROI already exists purely on brake savings and fuel savings. "On the other side, you also have value that some customers put a lot of tangible emphasis on that can come from other things that are a little hard to get your hands on as to how much it's worth."
In talks with hybrid fleet owners and drivers, Kazarinoff says the noise factor often is cited as the biggest advantage to operating a hybrid utility truck in urban surroundings. Lower emissions, increased brake and engine component life and the marketing cache of running a "green" business also can be factors in determining ROI.
"It's a variety of things, some of which aren't that obvious and go beyond the simple 'Just how much fuel am I saving?' kind of calculation," he says. "For some of our customers, there's been an investment they've made based on the improved environmental reputation it brings with them."
The next generation
Truck manufacturers say that as hybrid systems become more commonplace in the future, demands for increased electric performance will rise accordingly. That's why OEMs already are researching and testing the next generation of hybrid drivetrains.
Currently, hybrid trucks come in two forms. A parallel system, commonly seen today in the automotive world as well as truck applications, is essentially an electric motor/generator running parallel to the primary drivetrain – usually a diesel or gasoline engine.
In contrast, a series system features a much higher degree of hybridized systems on the vehicle – systems that no longer are dependent upon the diesel engine for operation. "In Kenworth's case with series hybrid systems, we're trying to electrify systems so we get away from launch-assist and try to hybridize as many systems in the truck as possible," says Andy Douglas, national sales manager of specialty markets for Kenworth parallel systems and series systems.
Kazarinoff says there's only a limited amount of capability for electric-only operation. "You still need power brakes, power steering, air conditioning – all those systems on a conventional vehicle are still being driven by mechanical accessories off the engine," he says. "You have issues in terms of shutting the engine off and continuing to operate those systems."
To address these shortcomings, Eaton is working on a plug-in electric-hybrid program for utility trucks that will electrify accessories such as power steering and brakes, and enable limited amounts of electric-only operation.
"That is another avenue to enhance the efficiency and functionality of the system, because even at idle or light load conditions, diesel engines run relatively inefficiently," Kazarinoff says. "If we can better restrict the diesel engine to operate in a region – a range of operation where it is more efficient – that's going to unlock a lot more value for customers."
The opportunity for hybrids to have a more significant impact on the marketplace comes into play when a retrofit system can be installed on existing vehicles with minimal effort. "If a system that uses more commonly available components rather than the costly specialty parts can be developed, it would be extremely beneficial," says Ken Gillies, truck operations manager for GE Capital Fleet Services. EMD Technologies currently offers such a solution that has potential to convert to a hybrid drive and enable a ROI of two to three years, Gillies says.
Looking even farther ahead, government fuel economy legislation may drive manufacturers to focus on ways to maximize energy recovery. "Not just energy recovery from a stop-start cycle like we have now, but things like heat recovery from exhaust systems," Gosbee says.
In this scenario, some sort of mechanical or electrical machine would take heat out of the engine, turn it into energy and return it to the drivetrain. "In the case of electrical energy, we can take exhaust heat and perhaps spin a turbine to create electricity," Gosbee says. "That electricity could then be put into the driveline as supplemental energy to run any system on the vehicle." The technology is heading in that direction, he says. "I do feel that we will see that kind of hybridization – or perhaps I should say the electrification of certain elements in the drivetrain – become apparent in Class 8 trucks."
Looking ahead, it's clear that hybrids will become more commonplace in the coming years. And despite the improvements on the drawing board, OEMs stress that hybrid trucks in their current incarnation are a viable option for businesses today. "We're not just talking about experimental prototypes anymore," Kazarinoff says. "We've got over 55 million miles of customer use on hybrid-electric systems and thousands of them in operation all over the world in many different applications. In that sense, it's really a proven 'available now' reliable product." n

A work in progress
Published 6:58 pm Wednesday, June 26, 2019
Rain has been a challenge for school construction projects
While rain has affected work at Hammer Complex, both the project manager and director of facilities say Sept. 3 is still the goal for the Albert Lea Tigers' first home football game on a new Hammer Field.
Email newsletter signup
"The constant rainfall has really been a challenge," said Jeff Ryks, project manager with The Joseph Co. The company is handling construction at Hammer Complex excluding turf installation.
Ryks estimated the rain has cost them a couple weeks of progress from where he was hoping to be, but said overall, the project is still going OK.
Rain has been the biggest challenge for the softball, baseball and soccer fields, Ryks and Albert Lea Area Schools Director of Facilities Steve Anderson said.
"They've been a disaster," Ryks said. "That's where the rain has probably hurt the most."
There is currently no drainage in these fields and the soil is poor, so the rain saturates the area and makes it difficult to get vehicles out there to work.
Anderson said the goal is to have the softball, baseball and soccer fields seeded in the fall and ready for play next fall.
But the baseball and softball concession stands walls are up, Anderson said, and five of the eight dugouts have had their foundations poured, Ryks said. Additionally, the varsity softball infield is being prepped for artificial turf work, which will begin after the football field is done.
Artificial turf work began on the football field at the end of last week. The process will likely take two weeks, Anderson said.
Footings have also been poured for the ticket boxes. Anderson said the grandstand first floor is "basically up." Ryks estimated the grandstands are about 35% complete.
Much of what is left is concrete work in the plaza and entrance area, Anderson said. Ryks estimated they would start pouring concrete for the plaza in about two weeks.
The fieldhouse is closer to 40% complete, Ryks said. However, Anderson said the fieldhouse has taken a back burner to completing the grandstands ahead of game time.
"We're not focusing on the field house because we know we can't get it done," Anderson said. "… We're really trying to get the grandstand and get everything done for the games."
Other projects
Work also continues at Halverson Elementary School, where the footings and foundation for the new gym and front office have been poured.
"By this time next week … the gym walls will be up," Anderson said.
The new gym is more than double the square footage of the former gym, which is being expanded to the west and north to accommodate both the gym expansion and the office. The special education classroom previously located at the front of the building will now be moved deeper into the building to the east side of the gym. The restrooms near the gym will be expanded to hold multiple stalls, and the former office area will be used as individual office space, Anderson said.
The school will also have walls and doors put in some hallways that allow most of the school to be blocked off at night during community events in the gym.
Anderson anticipated the pool locker rooms at Albert Lea High School will be done at the end of July. They are being painted, and next week Anderson said the hope is for the flooring to be done. After lockers and doors are put in, the rooms will be done.
