Pls improve ReadCloud
Thanks for the idea behind the app, but the way that the app delivers is really disappointing. It constantly lags when we swipe across pages or try to zoom in or out.
The only reason that I use it is because the school I go to doesnt put the textbook anywhere else, and there is no way to download the textbooks onto the iPad and work from there.
Either fix the lag or make an option to download documents and PDFs from ReadCloud onto the device
So laggy
When you try to scroll, it just lags back to the page you were on prior. If you even manage to get to the page you want, the information takes 3 minutes at least to load in. The sign in page has intermittent issues, and sometimes the page gets locked and you can't do anything

Hello fellow editors. I know that a lot of us are still using the Legacy Titler for our titling duties in Premiere Pro.
While "change" is never fun, my impression is that some people just have not taken the time to learn or become fluid or fluent with the tools, and that's understandable.
I've found the new title tools pretty compelling. I've swtiched to them. I found that some people are not even aware of the tools or how they function. Surprisingly, making a simple .mogrt is something many have not even tried. Sound familiar? No problem, here's the documentation.
Please respond here as to why you are using Legacy Titler below and I will pass along the feedback to the Premiere Pro team. Not here to judge, just to provide good feedback.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Very helpful, thanks. Haven't been able to figure out Rotation or Scale Lock
Copy link to clipboard
What about rotation and scale lock?
Copy link to clipboard
I couldn't figure out hover rotate at first so I was looking for a keyboard shortcut, but I got it to work now so that won't need one. It'd be nice to have one to toggle the scale lock

I don't know what it is like in other countries, but in Japan, it's extremely common to decorate text with gradation. That was the number one advantage of the legacy title. As you said, I don't think it's good to continue using legacy titles forever. However, if they can't produce the same quality, Essential Graphics Text will continue to be rated lower than Legacy titles (in Japan). It takes too much effort to prepare an asset for gradient and process it with a mask. By all means, I want the Essential Graphics panel to be able to be set quickly like a legacy title.
Copy link to clipboard
I've been pushing for some time that we get more shape options and capabilities, such as being able to set say an angle of a vertice so no matter whether you scale both axis, or scale one, the angle of that vertice would not change.
You can make most shapes by creating several shapes, some used to mask parts of something else so the result is the shape you want. Then use the "pinning" controls so the mask shapes stay where they need to for any motion or scaling.
But I want vertice angle controls, along with several other shapes pre-built.

I hope the programers are reading this thread. Like everyone else I want more creative options for the EGP but putting titles in the bins has to be top priority for me.
Copy link to clipboard
If you move to a Productions based operation, which for me even in my one-man shop is pretty awesome ... they suggest you discontinue using bins.
As you use folders on disc to organize the Job sections, and project files to hold the Job assets ... so you use project files as you would have bins before. This breaks the total job into much smaller project files that, within a Production process, can pull from each other without 'opening' the other project and loading every asset record of that project to RAM/cache.
You would essentially then have say a project file with nothing but your graphic elements in it with that workflow. But if you organize the browse panel of the EGP, then ... all graphics you've turned to mogrts are available quickly also. From any project file.
Copy link to clipboard
We do read this thread and others like it. Putting Graphics into Project Panel Bins is the number one reason we hear about from users who still use Legacy Titles. I can't say for sure what changes we plan for the future, but I can echo what Kevin and others said erlier on this thread... It's a good idea to start using the EGP Browse tab for storing and applying titles (mogrts) now in preparation for a time when Legacy Titles might not be an option at all.
Copy link to clipboard
I'll add something that to me seems pretty obvious ... mogrts added to the Browse panel of the EGP are available from any project on that machine or (if in CC libraries) any machine sharing that Library.
Graphics in a bin are only ever accessible within that project.
Copy link to clipboard
I'll add something that to me seems pretty obvious ... using the EGP Browse tab for storing and applying titles (mogrts) is not the problem, what's gone missing is the means to sort/browse/filter 'timeline instances' of EGP titles.
For what its worth, I rolled my own 'Timeline Index' panel for Premiere years ago, and it works a treat for the above issue ... maybe its time Adobe played catch up and provided a properly integrated Timeline Index panel for all users.
Copy link to clipboard
Would you confirm whether or not Legacy Titles in years old projects will be properly interprited by the EGP when the LTM is removed?
Why has the "Essential" Graphics Panel never been renamed to indicate that it is now the primary interface for titling?
The "Essential" moniker was to indicate analagous and more streamlined controls, but I think we're off the rails there
Copy link to clipboard
I've posted this or something similar, several times but no one has addressed it yet. If you are not going to create a better titling product than legacy, why replace it? Essential is not even in the ballpark with legacy. It comes off like a prosumer product to me (prefab templates, etc). For instance, in legacy you can easly add a graphic image of any format with the click of a button. and it automaticly scrolls with your rolling titles. In essential it is next to impossible. Fix this and add a simple gradient feature and you'll be on your way to at least approching legacy. don't know for the life of me why you would want to put off so many professionals, when you already had a great titling program in legacy.

They've been as clear as humanly possible in many blog posts, replies here, and presentations at NAB and IBC and MAX. There is no way to simply transfer titles from the old titler to the EGP/motion graphics process, nor do they expect this to ever happen. While all of us would wish this otherwise, it ain't gonna happen.
I think the reason they've carried the Titler along this far is primarily because of carrying along the old projects still using it. And when it seems that those projects are so old to be ancient by broadcast standards, it will cease to exist. They have all sorts of ways for creating metrics, and I think that from comments at MAX last fall, the Titler is not used all that much as a percentage of the user base. And dropping.
As to the name, I'm not sure where you got the assumptions about the name. They used the same pattern as for the Essential Sound panel ... not as a temporary item in any way shape or form, or transitional ... but as the "home" for graphics tools in a Panel, as the Essential Sound Panel is for sound. And though named differently, as the Lumetri Panel is for color.
If you note, in all three panels, you do not need to apply an effect to a clip on a sequence before using the controls. With a panel like the ESP, EGP, and Lumetri open, when you touch the controls they are applied to any currently selected clip. That is where a Panel applying sound, graphics, or color differs from an effect used to apply sound, graphics, or color differences.

Hey Neil, I've taken a bit to come back to this reply, and my conclusion is still that the migration workflow they've proposed is untenable.
We're going to suddenly, some day in the future with no specific notice, loose the ability to make and read these titles on the same day? Ridiculous. They should be announcing things like this BEFORE it auto updates even though I've got it set not to by configuration file.
The escrow time should be multiple years of allowing people to read the titles while preventing them from being created. Not just putting "Legacy" in the title and telling us to use a half baked alternative.
I remember the messaging in 2017 around the "Essential Sound" panel being that it was analagous, faster, and easier even if it didn't have all the handles. That was how the "Essential Graphics" was brought up to me too. Maybe that wasn't the overall message.
Copy link to clipboard
The migration process is they've allowed the old one to be used for several years while the new one has been fleshed out ... and been recommending from every source they've got that users move to the new EGP and abandon working in the Legacy Titler.
You said the process should be over several years ... and it has been. I just wouldn't expect it to go on much longer.
That we've been in the migration process for years seems clear enough to me. I do realize for some, they prefer the layout of the old tool. But whether the old tool or new one is more sensible for any one user kind of misses the reality here ... the old tool is an ancient tool, and is going away at some point. We all know that ... at some point, to me, you just have to move on.
I had to leave working with SpeedGrade. Yea, I know the pain. And we dropped a TON more capablity going from then-SpeedGrade and then Lumetri than between the current Legacy Titler and current EGP.
The comparisons to the ESP are not even necessarily useful, let alone the consideration if they're valid. Each tool is a different thing. But ... the ESP was designed for the rapid use by the tons of editors who don't need to get into the weeds, just get something adequate done and that quickly. Which the ESP does allow.
Note, any effect used in the ESP then appears in the ECP, and can be modified there to suit. I know a number of editors who complained about the ESP at first ... then realized that within certain processes, it actually was a quick way to apply basic changes, and then they go into the ECP without having to grab an effect from the Effects panel first. As the ESP had applied the effect to the clip.
The ESP was designed as a quick ... substitute? ... for going to the Audio effects list, that could be used instead of or alongside working with the full Audio effects listings.
The EGP was not conceived of as a simplified shortcut, but as evolving into a complete tool for doing the graphics work. Which is why they have allowed the use of both while the EGP was brought up to specs better. And over the last four years, they have brought the EGP a long way. It's got nearly any capability of the Titler, and some things that the Titler can't.
Yea, we're all still pushing for more shapes that you can simply choose from a list than create ... and a few other things. But for the most part, the EGP is usable for most anything you can need. If it isn't, then it's work for Ae. But then, it would be work for Ae anyway at that point.

The video link should shed light on why many people still use the legacy title tool.
Copy link to clipboard
As I only see a black screen when I click the link ... it actually doesn't shed any light on the subject. It's a private video it says.
EDIT: the third time I clicked on it, the link worked ... yay!
And it can be instructive to see what someone is talking about in a video. It can also be annoying when you spend 10 minutes viewing a video and know that four quick written phrases could have encapsulated the entire content. And saved you 10 minutes of blown time.
So perhaps a summary of the preferred working steps in the Titler might be good along with a working link. As we all work differently.
For this vid, it seems that would be:
That would primarily cover the video I think.

It can also be annoying when you spend 10 minutes viewing a video and know that four quick written phrases could have encapsulated the entire content. And saved you 10 minutes of blown time.
So very true.

Listing the ability to save EGP titles in the bin would not demonstrate why bins are better. A lot of people do not know how to enable video and audio useage. I think the video demonstrates the advantage of the Legacy Titling Tools much better than a simple list.
Copy link to clipboard
You're not getting it, Andy. A LOT of people will simply never look at your video if they don't know what you're covering. And for experienced users, they want to know if there's anything interesting/worth their time in watching it.
So as I said ... do both. List what you're going to demo, and include the link.

Why do I still use Legacy Title? Because I have been using Premiere since CS3 and I have thousands of titles saved via specific folders. I use 50-70 titles per 1 hour project, but I only have to create 10 or so for any new project because of the ones I have saved, so the clunky having to reset the window every time I need a new title does not aggravate me as much since I'm mostly drag and drop. All those titles take up very little space. Yes, it takes Premiere a long time to open, worse than Dreamweaver, but that's OK. I'm kind of slow, so as far as I know there is NO way to save my titles and I can not open them or convert them with the new title maker. Can I?? I will not live long enough to save all of them to media files. When Adobe removes the Legacy Title Maker and I lose all my titles I will quit Adobe. I know, they could care less, but that is 95% of my work. If my understanding is wrong please tell me. Will I lose all my work? Is there a work around?
Copy link to clipboard
Copy link to clipboard
Thank you Andy,
No, I had not seen that video and I will have to watch it again as I did not know I could search by title. I thought (hoped) you were sending me instructions how I could save my legacy titles in the new title maker, but... Thanks for sharing the video, unfortunately Adobe does not allow us to vote. I will keep using the legacy title maker till they pull the plug. Again, thanks for the video. Searching by title might be faster than scrolling through bins. Have a great day.
Copy link to clipboard
When they drop the Title maker, we will probably loose ability to modify old titles. Might be able to use unmodified ones, we don't know of course. And yea, with a ton of saved titles to just mod a bit losing them will be painful.
Now ... anywhere you go, you'll be starting over with titles in a different titling process. So I take it you'd be "leaving Adobe" just on account of being ticked at them. Which I get. (I'm still ticked about SpeedGrade ... )
But for practical purposes, just getting work done ... it seems like you already know how to work in Premiere, and all these apps are so freaking different from each other.
I've talked with engineers at NAB about the need for converting from one to the other. They actually are sympathetic ... remember, they're all editors themselves. And they've got their store of older titles. The problem they say is it would be a very difficult job to accurately 'translate' as the codes and processes have nothing to do with each other. It isn't just it 'looks' different. I've heard of several scripting masters that were going to sort out how to do that, but none has ever been posted anywhere with a means to do so. Not for lack of trying, I think.
Yea, it's a massive pain.
Copy link to clipboard
Dont think that is ever going to happen, being able to use legacy titles as Mogrt in the Ess Graphic.

Where is the recipe?????
Although this doesn't sound bad, I do have my own way of making beef stew. After reading some of the reviews regarding a lot of liquid, with the wine, beef broth and also the juices from the beef, it could be rather on the liquid side. Suggestions: I also add potatoes which will thicken the sauce, however if you choose not to do that, then there is other ways. Cornstarch with cold water can be used which is what a lot people do, myself included if needed. You can also use instant potato flakes. You don't need a lot so use a little at a time until you get the desire consistency. These are just some helpful suggestions since beef stew is a meal all it's own and don't see the need to serve it over anything.
My family loves this recipe! Don't let the cook time fool you... It's very easy to make. I'd never used turnips before making this stew and almost substituted potatoes, but I stuck to the original ingredients. So glad I did! My husband actually thought the turnips *were* potatoes. They have a mild flavor, withstand the heat very well, and don't get mushy. I actually use 4 turnips so that everyone gets some. This delicious recipe makes me feel (and seem) like a much more experienced cook than I am.
I loved this....the adjustments I made were to use two large turnips and went heavy on the read wine. Next time (and there WILL be a next time!) I will also add onion--just because I like it!
I wish I had read the reviews before making this. My family sorely missed having potatoes in this stew. Yes, definitely add diced potatoes to this meal and then maybe it would get a better rating from my family.
I have a ? This is my first time cooking this I don't want to mess it up do u add water to your pot or just the wine and what brand do I use
This stew was absolutely delicious. Followed the recipes closely. Instead of turnip I used cubed potatoes. I also made Bisquick dumplings and cooked them in the stew as directed on the box then put a dumpling in each dish and served stew over it. The dumpling added so much more to the stew. No need for bread to dip. Definitely a very satisfying dish.
a perfect healthy winter staple...
I love the turnip alternative to potatoes. Great flavors as is but needed more veggie to make it substantial. Added 1 tbl of tomato paste with wine. Used 2 turnips, 4 cloves of garlic, and more mushrooms. Also added a tbl of Worcestershire sauce while thickening the sauce. Served over white rice with a simple cesar salad.
This was super good and worth the effort! Like others recommended, I doubled the turnips, and used whole fresh carrots. I added sauteed onions and garlic and will add some celery next time for some crunch. I was *certain* it would not be tender, but it is!!!! My mom, husband and me all heart this recipe. A keeper! So glad it freezes because it does make a lot. I served Mom's over Uncle Ben's quick rice packets and will have mine over egg noodles tomorrow. thanks for a great recipe!
Yum! I added the whole bag of turnips from my local grocery store. Everyone thought they were potatoes. Great flavor. Served with crusty bread and a nice red wine. My young kids love it.
Delicious and hearty rich stew. I added 3 TBSP tomato paste and an assortment of fresh mushrooms. I think when I serve it tonight, I'll make good ole' Southern biscuits to go along. I saved out tonight's portion and froze 4 more for a later date. Definitely a keeper recipe!
This stew is just about perfect. I doubled the mushrooms, reduced the salt, thickened the gravy a little more and next time will add another turnip. It was fantastic on a cold, rainy night and a 5 star hit in our home.
This stew was so pleasing to the palate, the meat and vegetables just melted away in my mouth. Next time I might increase the gravy as the temptation to soak it all up with french bread is irresistible. The only slight changes I made were increasing the mushrooms and turnips, and using chopped whole carrots.
Yummy! I altered this recipe a little... -Floured/Seasoned the Beef, browned it and then threw everything else in the crockpot... ended up adding oil and thinly chopped red onion to make a pan sauce out of the browning beef leftovers... added that too. -For liquid I used: 1 1/2 cup wine, 1 can of reduced sodium beef stock and 1 can of no sat added diced tomatoes (I'm on a low sodium diet) -Didn't love the large pieces of mushroom... next time I will chop them very small so they'll be a nice accent... also I would add more carrots. -Also didn't end up going with the turnips, wish I had seen the suggestion for celery root before making it, sounds good for next time! Overall... delicious flavor!
Also known as Boeuf Bourguignonne. I seared the uncut roast on the grill to save time and pot washing, then cut it into 2" chunks. I am sure it could be cut up first and then grilled quickly over a very hot flame for a minute or two.
I am the stew maker in the family since my dad passed on. I make his stew recipe throughout the winter months. I never thought I would like another one although they are quite different! This was delicious! I would make just a couple of changes: instead of turnips try celery root! large carrots are sweeter and more flavorful than the baby carrots Definitely comfort food!
This was my first time making a meat recipe...and it came out great!! I substituted red potatoes and whole carrots cut up; it was dinner for two, so I probably screwed up the measurements a little, I think that's why the sauce didn't thicken up so much. Served it with rice, my boyfriend loved it.
This was the first beef stew I have ever made and it was delicious. I halved most of the recipe (meat, broth, salt, etc.) but kept the veggies and thyme the same as the original recipe. Although there is a lot of cooking time, the prep is minimal. I will make this again when I've got a few hours to kill! As noted - it is really great paired with crusty bread.
Amazing beef stew! Rated this a 9.5 out of 10. I skipped the turnip and used a red potatoe instead. Also added fresh onions in with the other veggies. Had whole carrots on hand so I chopped those up instead of the baby carrots. This is just a wonderful recipe and well worth the wait. Even though it is time consuming, it is a very easy one to make. Will make again several times this winter.
Pretty easy to make, I didn't have red wine, but I used red wine vinegar which worked very well for flavor. The sauce didn't thicken up quite as much as I anticipated, but I liked to thinner sauce for bread dipping. Delicious!
Fabulous stew! I left out the red wine and used beef stock instead. It was perfect! It was thick (but not too thick), hearty and completely full of flavor. I served it over rice and with crusty bread, but it would also be great on it's own. The turnips were my favorite part. I'm getting ready to make this stew again, and I'm going to add more turnips this time! This recipe is definitely a keeper!
This is the best beef stew recipe ever! It makes the whole house smell wonderful, and makes enough to feed an army. Don't omit the red wine!! I serve it over risotto rice, but also try thick slices of homemade cornbread. Be sure to make copies of the recipe when you serve it - everyone will want one!
Absolutely delicious! My husband and I couldn't stop saying how wonderful it was and it heated up great the next day as well. I did substitute the broth for the wine and it was so good!
Wow! I used a merlot to prepare this amazing stew, but otherwise followed the recipe to the letter. I served the stew over wide egg noodles, but even then still wanted a piece of crusty bread to take advantage of every drop of the rich gravy. A very hearty dish to cook on a chilly day while doing chores between the cooking phases.
My family -- and I -- love this recipe! It has such terrific flavor.
Very good. I had a box of baby portebella mushrooms in the refrigerator, which were perfect in taste and eye appeal. I fixed it in a cast iron dutch oven and also added about a cup of saute'd onions and used a combination of beef and fresh venison. I served it with warm, crusty bread and a side of tart cranberry relish/salad. Recieved rave reviews from my husband and friends who joined us for dinner.

Victor Moses put Chelsea ahead early in the 2nd half but ten minutes from time, Pedro was sent off for a tackle on El Neny leading in an equalizer from Sead Kolasinac scored off a header from the resulting free kick.
In the ensuing penalty shoot outs, Tibault Courtious surprising took Chelsea's second kick and sent it way wide and then new boy, Alvaro Morata hit the post in his.
Olivier Giroud then went on the score the winning penalty kick as Arsenal won 4-1 to grab the first trophy of the season.
This is Arsenal's 3rd Community Shield trophy in 4 years and their 15th overall.

I am excited to tell you about myself and my passion for photography. I love what I do and I am so lucky to have picked up a camera back in high school. It's been a wild ride and I am incredibly grateful for the amazing opportunities I have had along the way.
My love for photography started when I was in high school. I could not wait until 5th period, because I was about to spend a full hour working in a dark room, creating test strips and developing images to perfection the old fashioned way. I never wanted the hour to pass, I could hardly wait until the next day. It was then I decided I wanted to make a career in photography. Along the way teachers both in high school and college recognized my talents and encouraged me to continue to pursue my dream. My journey has continued as we evolved into the digital era of photography.
"If you do something you love, you'll never have to work a day in your life." After high school I made this my motto, working day and night setting my path. I have photographed weddings, concerts, families, pets and corporate events for over ten years professionally. During this time I have met and worked with many AMAZING photographers, promoters, business owners and families. Collectively they have all left impressions which I have incorporated into my skills. I continue to learn and develop my techniques so I can provide the BEST experiences and memories for my clients.
In reflection, amongst my many accomplishments, my proudest moments undoubtably amount to simple compliments including, when my sisters best friend called to ask me to photograph her wedding or when someone I went to daycare with called to have me take family portraits for the holidays.
I consider myself an artist truly blessed with an eye to capture reflective moments. I am privileged to take pictures which will preserve memories forever. I absolutely love what I do, it's not work to me and would feel honored to capture your next event. Whether an engagement, a wedding, maternity, newborn, shower, family portraits, Sweet 16, headshots or concerts...I am here to photograph forever memories for you! Contact me today for more information!

STEP 1 OF 4: Select Your Lens
STEP 3 OF 4: Select Lenses Type
STEP 4 OF 4: Choose Lenses Material
A high index lens provides a number of benefits to the wearer:
- Are thinner and less noticeable in the profile of the glasses.
- High index lenses reduce eye distortion. (also known as the "coke bottle" effect)
- These lenses are more lightweight making the glasses more comfortable to wear.
Customer Reviews
Thrilled with my Pronto frames! I have always worn very expensive glasses and was concerned about quality. These frames are top notch! I was also apprehensive about purchasing glasses (with prescription lenses) online but the process was very smooth. The only drawback is that they need to be adjusted slightly. Vint and York has effective customer service and was always available to answer my inquiries. I am going tell all my friends!
Classic frames for everyday wear and for professional attire.
These are by far my favorite pair of glasses. I bought the honey color and it's absolutely beautiful. So nice that I will most definitely be purchasing another pair or two in the future depending on how long I can take care of this pair. Lastly, I have never received so many compliments on my glasses and requests to know where a purchased them from! Thank you and please keep it up!
I like the glasses, they are bold, but they slide down my nose too easily, and are a bit heavy so I can't give them a five star review. I am not sorry I bought them though, but they are "fun" glasses not every day glasses because of this issue.
Just the BEST frames! Especially with my legally blind in the left eye prescription. You can't tell my vision is EXTREMELY poor. So fashionable!

DETROIT – Gary Sayers, the owner of the toxic green ooze site in Madison Heights, is now in a legal battle over possible contamination at his property in Detroit.
MORE: Photos, records show Madison Heights building at center of toxic ooze case has been unsafe for years
Sayers just got out of prison. He fought every step of the way to keep investigators out of his properties, and now he's doing so again.
Last year, a Madison Heights building owned by Sayers leaked toxic green ooze onto a roadway.
Officials want his Detroit property cleaned up so they can test to see if contamination has spread into the ground. The Detroit dump is filled with debris and chemicals, which causes concern for the city, the state and environmental watchdogs.
State officials want to go onto the property. They also want Sayers to clean up so critical testing can be done.
But investigators said Sayers is blocking them through is attorney.
Officials with the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy asked that the property be cleared of machinery, materials and debris in order to be assessed. To date, Sayers' attorney hasn't responded to requests for access.
That is keeping EGLE from investigating possible soil and groundwater contamination.
"A complete assessment of this site is extraordinarily important," an EGLE spokesperson said. "Commonwealth has a history of heavy industrial use spanning 100 years. We are currently weighing available options that would allow us to move forward. Protecting the environment and public health remains a top priority."
Sayers has also been working to block the demolition of his Madison Heights building. A court appearance scheduled for June was delayed by his attorney until July. That could be another stall tactic, experts said.

Title: Network of Deceit
Author: Tom Threadgill
Genre: Christian Suspense
Release Date: February 2, 2021
After her rescue of nearly fifty kidnapped children made international headlines, Amara Alvarez gets what she's worked for: a transfer to San Antonio's Homicide Division. Reality sets in quickly, though, as her first case, the suspicious death of a teenager at a crowded local water park, brings chaos to her personal life.
As the investigation moves forward and she increases the pressure on the suspects, Amara finds herself under attack by cybercriminals. Her every move is being potentially watched online, and she's forced to resort to unconventional methods to find the killer. With few leads, she fights to keep her first murder investigation from ending up in the cold case files.
Tom Threadgill is back with another riveting page-turner featuring the detective who is willing to put everything on the line to see that justice is served and lives are protected.
Book Review:
Tom Threadgill does it again with this twisting adventure of Amara's. His characters are diverse and unique, and the action keeps packing a punch. Amara's drive to solve her first homicide case makes her push through any obstacle that might be put in her way. I found her determination admirable, and she surprised me with how intense she became. That's in no way a bad thing. The plot itself kept me interested and reading way into the night. Highly recommend Network of Deceit. To get a better understanding of the characters, I do recommend you read book one, Collision of Lies, first. I received a copy of this book from RevellReads. I was not required to leave a positive review. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

§ Q5 Mrs. McLaughlin
asked the Prime Minister (1) what steps he has taken to improve the co-operation between the Northern Ireland Government and Her Majesty's Government, in view of the urgency of the need to solve Northern Ireland's unemployment problems;
(2) if he will arrange a meeting with the Northern Ireland Prime Minister to discuss further methods of solving the unemployment problem in Northern Ireland.
§ Mr. R. A. Butler
I have been asked to reply.
Ministers and officials of the two Governments, including my right hon. Friend and the Prime Minister of Northern Ireland, work in close cooperation at all times, and no formal arrangements for consultation are needed.
§ Mrs. McLaughlin
Is my right hon. Friend fully aware that in Northern Ireland there is great concern at the moment that perhaps not every stone is left unturned to find an answer to the long-term problem of unemployment? Especially in view of the statement made last night by the Minister of Labour about special requirements to solve this problem, may I ask whether means will be taken to call special meetings and if necessary a long-term committee to solve this problem as soon as possible?
§ Mr. Butler
Mr. Andrews, the Minister of Commerce and the Minister of Finance were here as recently as 10th and 11th December. Prior to that we had a debate on the Hall Report—the Report of the Joint Working Party on the Economy of Northern Ireland—on 22nd November and my hon. Friend may realise and feel that we have this matter continually yin mind.
§ Mr. Callaghan
May I ask the First Secretary whether the National Economic Development Council takes into account the position in Northern Ireland in considering its future plans?
§ Mr. Butler
That I shall investigate in company with my right hon. Friend.
§ Mr. Shinwell
Did the right hon. Gentleman observe that last night several hon. Members from north-eastern constituencies decided not to vote for the Government's Motion? If same of the Ulster Members adopted the same policy, would that make any change in the Government's attitude towards Northern Ireland?
§ Mr. Butler
No, Sir.
§ Mrs. McLaughlin
Is my right hon. Friend aware of a reply to a Written Question on 13th December by the Home Secretary in which he states that the 1083 majority of public works are the responsibility of the Northern Ireland Government? Is my right hon. Friend taking this into account when he mentions the Hall Committee's Report in which the development of public works was not recommended and yet would appear to be a satisfactory start in this effort?
§ Mr. Butler
I have my right hon. Friend's reply before me and can only endorse what he says.
§ Mr. G. Brown
Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that last night the Minister of Labour deliberately excluded Northern Ireland from the areas in regard to which special action would be taken? Will he, therefore, take into account that what is required for Northern Ireland is not more meetings and more consultations but a policy, and will he reconsider what the Minister of Labour said last night?
§ Mr. Butler
I do not think that I can necessarily take that as an interpretation of my right hon. Friend's words. What I know is that Northern Ireland is constantly in our minds and we are perpetually taking steps to deal with it.

Lugano Percussion Ensemble
Lugano is a lakeside city in Canton Ticino of Switzerland. It's an only majority Italian-speaking Canton of the country. The location has fostered quite unique cultures especially in the contemporary music scene of Europe.
Lugano Percussion Ensemble was first formed as Lugano Percussion Group at the Swiss Italian Conservatory (CSI/Conservatorio della Svizzera Italiana) by Professor Mircea Ardeleanu, known for his numerous international specialization courses and for his several recordings. The Group focused on contemporary music with a particular attention to the fusion of musical and theatrical language elements and a continuous sound research.
After various concerts on the Swiss scene (Lausanne, La Chaux-de-Fonds, Winterthur, Lugano, Murten Expo.02, Radiotelevisione Svizzera Italiana), in 2002 the Group won a scholarship in Darmstadt for the International Summer Courses for New Music. In 2004 it took part in the "Martha Argerich Project" recording together with the famous pianist for the renowned record company Deutsche Grammophon.
Over the years, the Group has recomposed a new ensemble for the concert tour of Iran in 2018 welcoming percussionists graduated from CSI percussion class of prof. Bernhard Wulff and also from Milano Conservatory.
The new Lugano Percussion Ensemble, based in Lugano, includes one principal conductor, six stable percussionists and it is often accompanied by four solo instruments: three pianos and a celeste. The ensemble mainly presents premier pieces of new composers, especially from Switzerland. In 2019, the ensemble made concert tours to Bolivia and Finland. Two new pieces by Swiss composer were performed in the tour. Benjamin Lang (Professor of composition at HMT Rostock) composed "Canyon of Ölfusà" and Mathias Steinauer (Professor at the ZHdk) dedicated his "L'arpentage des ones" to LPE. Steinauer has strongly been supporting young Swiss musicians as well as this ensemble.
The Lugano Percussion Ensemble is designated a non-profit organization by Caton Ticino in 2020. We are always planning many projects, new music commissions and masterclasses all over the world.

All eyes were on Kristin Cavallari as she made a one-of-a-kind entrance at NBCUniversal's summer dress day in L.A. to promote her TV series "Very Cavallari" yesterday.
The reality TV star showed up for the red carpet in a very confusing plaid Alexander Wang blazer dress that had a lot going on. She flaunted the look, in which the sleeves were pulled down and tied around her waist, along with a unique asymmetrical off-the-shoulder top design.
To balance out the ensemble and ensure it didn't completely go over the top, Cavallari paired it with classic pointed black pumps. As a fashionista who has her own shoe line with stylish footwear brand Chinese Laundry, there was no doubt she would get her heels right.

Goodnight, Sweet Prince: /pol/harbour
We shall begin with a possible explanation by a fellow anon:
This claim is supported by an article from the Times of Israel:
Moot has unleashed his worst on /pol/. He has done as much as he can to the board without outright killing it. And still it holds on, clinging to life. Gone are the average /pol/ threads on miscellaneous politics and happenings. Now all that remains are the stalwart Brits.
Just as in 1941, the whole of /pol/ owes its continued existence against the tide of "SJW Fascism" to the Brits. They alone still stand against the rising tide. Those who cannot or would not stand alongside the Brits have fled to 8chan, into the welcoming arms of Hotwheels. With every passing shot that Moot fires into the hellhole that is now /pol/, more and more /pol/acks make the exodus into this last bastion of free speech.
I should like nothing more than to see the Brits survive. Unfortunately, unlike the second World War, there is no analogous America or USSR to help shoulder the burden. I fear the the Brits can only hold out as long as Moot wills it to be acceptable.
And so, a message to the denizens of Brit/pol/. Fight on. In the words of glorious old Churchill,
Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.
Now is not the time simply to roll over. Be strong my friends.
"These are the times that try men's souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman."
To those of you who post on the regular (looking at you, YKTD and others), I ask you to continue. Your hard work has not gone unnoticed. But I ask you not just to continue posting on halfchan, but to consider posting on 8chan.
To those of you who post occasionally, I ask you to ramp it up. To show Moot that Brit/pol/ will not simply die. Much has been lost, but, like those Brits who came before us, let us make our darkest hour our finest one.
I leave you with a poem.
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Danny Garcia looks to become four-time world champ next week in NY
Danny Garica is one of the biggest names in boxing right now, especially in the welterweight division and especially in the Premier Boxing Champions brand of boxing. That being said he has a contentious relationship with fans of boxing as he started his career off with an upset knockout win over super lightweight Amir Khan, which put him on the map for the masses and a few years later defeated highly touted Lucas Matthysse. You might wonder where the contention comes from, well, that comes from bouts in between such as a debatable win over Mauricio Herrera in a homecoming bout in Puerto Rico for Garcia, who a Philly native never really got "the love" in Puerto Rico one would have hoped or even worse a title defense against Rod Salka, a fighter most fight fans didn't know of until the announcement of the fight.
At Garcia's best, he is one of the best fighters in the world and capable of beating anyone in the welterweight division. The problem is a lot of fans view him as a boxing businessman, who is more interested in the paycheck than his opponent and willing to fight path of least resistance if it is available rather than consistently challenging himself against the best. I can't blame Garcia one bit if that his rational, but I also understand the frustration of the fans.
That being said, September 8th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York and broadcast worldwide on Showtime, Garcia will be in a very tough fight as he vies to be a two-division world champion.
"I've knocked out a lot of fighters for the first time, so it won't be surprising to me if I knock Shawn Porter out for the first time." said Garcia in his private gym at his media day.
Garcia, who is known for his unique bravado which is charming, confident and uniquely his own, made it clear that this fight is for all the marbles. Garcia's trainer, his father, Angel Garcia, has spent the majority of his career as Danny Garcia's mouthpiece, a proud and vocal father willing to trash talk his foe.
"Porter really isn't worried about Danny's power, but he should be. I'm not mad about it, he just better have no excuses in that ring. Because Danny's not about excuses." Said Angel Garcia.
Garcia, who bounced back earlier this year from his first career loss to Keith Thurman to pick up a technical knockout over aging former world champion Brandon Rios in the ninth round. Garcia now is looking to not just gain another world title, but enter into the conversation of fighting Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford (though due to the nature of the boxing business, the Crawford fight would be very difficult to make in theory).
"This is another opportunity to become a four-time world champion and that excites me."
Garcia's foe, Shawn Porter, is a rugged boxer and one of the most avoided as well as awkward opponent in boxing over the last fifteen or so years. Yet, Garcia feels that the aggressive nature of Porter and his volume plays right into his ability to time the counter punch.
"In boxing, they say the more you throw, the more open you are to get hit. Volume punching has to be effective. I'm the sharper boxer and I land the cleaner punches. That's more my style. We've prepared ourselves for 12 hard rounds of any style." said Garcia.
The unwavering confidence as Garcia evident throughout his workout as Garcia as Garcia is fighting for the WBC welterweight title that he won when defeated Robert Guerrero to obtain the vacant title, he would then lose a split decision to Keith Thurman a year and a half ago, but Thurman has fought since and got stripped of the title.
"I still feel like the WBC title is mine, so I'm even more ready to reclaim it."
Danny Garcia also has made the Barclays Center his home, even headlining the opening card from the venue when he knocked out Erik Morales in their rematch. Garcia is no stranger to the venue as he has made the venue his home while on top of the sport. Porter has also found glory their as well winning a world title from Devon Alexander at the same venue, but Porter has not been promoted the same way as Garcia in the venue.
Danny Garcia faces Shawn Porter September 8th from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, in which both men will be vying to be a world champion once again.

McALLEN, RGV -Each month, Matt Ruszczak, executive director of Rio South Texas Economic Council, takes a look at the latest sales tax reports from the Comptroller's Office.
Here is his report for September, 2017, which reflects the July, 2017, sales tax activity in the state of Texas.
"Looking at the September, 2017, sales tax report, which reflects the July, 2017, sales activity in the state, we have a lot of positives we can pick up.
"I regularly monitor six counties along the border, all the way from Brownsville to El Paso, to see what kind of trends are developing and what the activity is along the border. This is the first month that I recall, in quite a while, where I see positive results for all six counties.
"El Paso County was up 2.1 percent, Val Verde County, which is the Del Rio area, was up 1.74 percent, Maverick County, which is the Eagle Pass area, was up 8.65 percent, Webb County, which is the Laredo area, was up 11.63 percent, and, coming in the Valley, Hidalgo County was up 1.36 percent, and Cameron County was up 2.00 percent. So, overall, a very positive up and down the border.
"Looking specifically at some of our communities here in the Rio Grande Valley, in Hidalgo County, Weslaco continues to be a very steady, positive, performer, up 1.17 percent, and McAllen saw a positive bump for the month, up 4.75 percent. In Cameron County, our stable performer is South Padre Island, they continue to do very, very well, they are up 4.98 percent, and Harlingen continues to be a standout, up 11.89 percent.
"Looking at some of the cities that did not have a positive month, Edinburg had a very slight decline of 0.37 percent, and Brownsville was down 6.15 percent. I would put an asterisk against that number because Brownsville generally moves along with Cameron County. This might be a reporting issue. We must check next month's report.
"Overall, the region is doing strongly. Looking at Webb County, up 11.63 percent, while it is very positive for the folks in Laredo, please keep in mind the previous year for this month, July of 2016, they were down 10.48 percent. So, this year's figure is a balancing out of the figures when you look at it historically.
"Some of the drivers are the oil price and the peso exchange rate. If you look at the price of oil in 2016, the price per gallon in July was between $41 and $49. In July 2017, the price was in the range of $44 to $50 per gallon. So fairly steady.
"The peso, in July, 2016, the rate was between 18.3 and 18.9, for this year we saw an improvement. It was 17.6 to 18.0 So, a little bit less than a five percent difference but still on the positive side, which benefits some of our numbers.
"If we look at the year to date numbers for our region, Cameron County continues to trend positively, up 0.54 percent. It is not earth-shattering in terms of growth but considering how much economic turbulence we saw at the beginning of the reporting year, it is quite good to see Cameron County is up for the year, even if it is only by 0.54 percent.
"Hidalgo County is still slightly down for the year, down 1.97 percent but the number continues to improve and hopefully we will be able to drift closer towards even or maybe hit even by the end of the reporting year in the next few months."
Collaboration on economic development with the State of Tamaulipas
Ruszczak, meanwhile, was included in a recent news release from the State of Tamaulipas. The Governor's economic development office announced a collaboration it was forming with Rio South Texas Economic
Here is the news release:
The Secretary for Economic Development Carlos W. Talancon Ostos met with the U.S. General Counsel for Matamoros Otto H. Van Maerssen and with the Consul for Political and Economic Affairs Jose A. Gutierrez, to discuss the importance of strengthening ties that could lead to a stronger economy on both sides of the border.
One of the main purposes for consolidating a strong relationship between Tamaulipan and the U.S. authorities is to create a synergy with investors that will motivate the installation of new businesses that produce more sources of employment.
Also during the meeting authorities agreed to establish jointly with Matt Z. Ruszczak, executive director for the Rio South Texas Economic Council, an agenda of business development. This agenda will cover from Matamoros to Mier, which is the region where the Rio South Texas Economic Council has jurisdiction for on the Texas border.
"Tamaulipas has allies in the United States so we are making better use of this relationship; we think that the binational work will give us better results in economic development," Talancon said.
Van Maerssen has had a long diplomatic career with the U.S. Department of State. He arrived recently in Matamoros and took over the position of general counsel.
The consul's experience has been focused on the regions of the Western Hemisphere, Europe, the East Hemisphere and regions of South Asia.
Previously he served as an adviser to the Institute for Security Cooperation of the Western Hemisphere in the Department of Defense, and also held positions in Russia, Afghanistan, Switzerland, Iraq, France and Colombia.

BSC für Limoncello di Capri
Not only drunk on ice or neat, also as a cocktail or over gelato, on pasta, in cakes Limoncello di Capri makes a bella figura…
A warm summer evening with a Limoncello di Capri in your hand – that's how you bring Italy home!
In order to bring the Italian attitude towards life "dolce vita" into German households during the last warm days of summer, our promoters from the PRO-VOGUE Promoter Pool carry out a tasting of the delicious Limoncello di Capri in selected cash & carry markets throughout Germany. The Italian attitude towards life should already be conveyed in the beverage markets – because now even more people can sit on the terrace, balcony or even in the living room in the evening with a delicious Limoncello di Capri in their hand and sing: "When the red sun sinks into the sea at Capri…". As a full-service promotion agency, in addition to booking the appropriate promoters, we created a tour plan, took care of all the logistics and provided the equipment and consumables.

A couple of weeks back, I shared news that the first trailer for the the upcoming Anthony Bourdain film, Roadrunner was out.
The film is a behind the scenes look at how Bourdain went from obscurity to a cultural icon. I'm definitely planning to see it once it comes out.
Roadrunner, A Film About Anthony Bourdain and Resy will be hosting A Brasserie Les Halles Pop Up for one weekend in July!
For those of you unfamiliar with Les Halles, its the restaurant "that served as the backdrop for Bourdain's breakthrough memoir Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly. Bourdain became the executive chef in 1998, and even after stepping away to focus on his television shows, he maintained a relationship with Les Halles until the location closed in 2016", according to the Resy blog.
The pop-up will take place July 9-11 at the restaurant's original location in NYC at 411 Park Avenue South at 28th Street.
Tickets for the pop-up aren't cheap at $95 for a three-course prix fix menu but I'm willing to bet they sell out pretty fast. The menu includes French onion soup, steak frites with au poivre sauce and a choice of dessert.
Tickets go on sale on sale on June 24th at 10:00AM EST to the general public. American Express card members who have their card on file on Resy receive exclusive 48 hour early access to buy tickets to the event.
While I'd love to dine at Les Halles again, $95 per seat is a bit too pricey for me.
Find out more about the upcoming pop-up and sign up for notify alerts of when tickets go on sale here.

Dependable service
This was the 2nd time I've ordered flowers and I was very happy with the arrangement. Often times what you get from the florist is very different from the photo online, and I understand to an extent why, but with French Florist the arrangements both times were very close to the photo and what I expected. The only small downside was that I paid to upgrade to a larger arrangement and it wasn't as big as I thought it would be. Made me wonder how small it would have been had I not upgraded!

Olympic Sports – Weirdest of All Time
Weird Olympic Sports You Won't Believe
You may know about the typical Olympic events like running, swimming, and diving, but there are several Olympic sports that you might not be familiar with. In this list of the weirdest Olympic games, we explore some of the more unusual events that have graced the games over the years.
Part 1
In this first part of an eight-part series, we look at some of the weirdest Olympic sports of all time and detail how these sports came to be. You won't believe what made the cut!
100 Meter for Sailor
When you think Olympics, you think track and field. When you think track and field, you think sprints (100m), long jump, and high jump. And when you think sprints, what do you picture? Hurdles and hurdles. A sailor would have none of that to worry about with a 100m race in sailing. The only thing he has to worry about is staying upright for 100 seconds in the Firth of Forth near Edinburgh.
Four Swimming Events
There were four swimming events in the 1896 Summer Olympic Sports swimming program, including the men's sailors' 100-meter freestyle. The second swimming race was only open to sailors of the Greek Royal Navy. Eleven took part in the race, but only three of them actually swam. The winning time was nearly a minute slower than the open 100-meter freestyle. That has to make the weirdest list!
200 Meter Obstacle Swimming
The men's 200-meter obstacle event held on 11 August and 12 August 1900, was an obstacle swimming event at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris. There were twelve athletes who competed from five different countries. Frederick Lane of Australia was the victor, followed by Otto Wahle of Austria in second place and Peter Kemp of Great Britain in third. Lane already had the upper hand, he was the uncontested winner of the 200-meter freestyle (no obstacles).
All Round Dumbbell Lifts
A sport called All-Turround Dumbbell Lifts was introduced to athletics at the Olympics. Competitors had two minutes to lift as many 100-pound dumbbells overhead as possible, starting with their left arm and alternating arms after each successful lift. At least three people participated in each round, and a final champion was crowned with the one who lifted more total dumbbells.
- In 1904, men competed in the dumbbells all-around event. Out of the three men who participated, only one won.
American Football
The NFL likes to say it's America's Game, but fans don't really care about it until January, at which point there are only three and a half months left in their football-deprived lives. So why not come together in harmony by playing a real American sport – American football, in honor of these special winter games?
Hand Tackle
Sure, you won't be able to use your hands or tackle anyone (because that would be dangerous), but you can still run around with a ball, throw it through the goalposts, and score points by kicking the said ball through said goal posts. It may not be as fast-paced as soccer or rugby (two other Olympic sports), but it has more scoring than lacrosse and will definitely get you excited for hockey season when February rolls around.
Summer Olympic Games
American football was included in the Summer Olympic Sports program in 1904 and 1932. In 1904, college football matches were played on Francis Field as part of an Olympic demonstration program, but not in the spirit of international competitive games.
The Ancient Art of Shooting Arrows at Trees. During London's 2012 Olympics, archery made its first appearance in 1900. It's been an official event in every modern Olympics since Paris in 1924. It has taken a number of different forms over the years (compound bows replaced traditional ones in 1972). Today, archers shoot at targets from 70 meters away. There is an Olympic archery competition for both men and women.
Single Appearance
Archery had a single appearance in the Olympic Sports in 1900 and dropped off in 1912, only reappearing in 1972. At that time, the event lasted over the course of a week, with the person with the highest combined score becoming the champion, usually from the US. In 1992, the tournament switched to pitting archers head-to-head, where the top competitors go up the ladder based on their scores. That made the tournament more spectator-friendly.
Army Rifle Shooting
Competitive shooting is another of the weirdest sports that has been in existence since before even Ancient Greece. Competitive rifle shooters stand at a variety of distances from their targets and attempt to hit their bullseye. There are three different positions involved: prone, kneeling, and standing. Shooters can only hold 10 rounds in each magazine; however, if they shoot all 10 rounds on target, they get an extra five minutes to shoot as many shots as possible.
The men's 300-meter military rifle three positions (originally called individual competition with army rifle) was a shooting sports event held as part of the Shooting at the 1912 Summer Olympics program. It was the second appearance of the event, which had been introduced in 1908. The competition was held on Monday, 1 July 1912.
Did you know that badminton is a surprisingly popular sport, one that's actually featured in some Olympics? The game was invented in England. To play, players stand at either end of a court divided by a net, and they try to hit a shuttlecock back and forth with rackets.
Badminton first appeared in the Olympic Games as a demonstration sport in 1972 and as an exhibition sport in 1988. At the 1992 Games, it became a full-medal Olympic sport, with competition for men's and women's singles (one against one) and doubles (two against two). Mixed doubles were introduced at the 1996 Games.
Now, what exactly is Biathlon? It's a combination of cross-country skiing and shooting a rifle. Yes, you read that correctly: cross-country skiing and shooting a rifle. One of the reasons it made it onto the weirdest Olympics list! Competitors ski for about 10 kilometers (6 miles) with their rifles slung over their shoulders or across their backs, stopping every so often to take aim at targets along the way. The sport was first contested in 1924.
First introduced in the 1924 Olympic Games, the Biathlon would become an official Olympic sport. Officially the event was accepted as an Olympic sport in 1955, but not part of the games the following year.
One of our favorites, but still, many folks don't know that boxing is an official sport. It has been since 1904. Men's and women's boxing both became medal events in 1988. And did you know that there are weight classes? Or that boxers actually have to wear gloves? (We thought it was bare-knuckle fighting.) Even though it's not a full-contact sport like judo or taekwondo, there have been several deaths from head injuries caused by punches to the head. In fact, one of those deaths occurred at an Olympics—the 2004 Summer Games in Athens.
Cesta Punta
A bizarre sport with an equally bizarre name, Cesta Punta is a Chilean sport in which two teams try to knock a little ball through each other's basket by tossing it with long poles. Not only does it sound weird (or even dangerous), but nobody's quite sure how you score points… and nobody seems to care.
The point of Cesta Punta is simply to enjoy yourself while trying not to die. In fact, there are no official rules regarding what constitutes dying in Cesta Punta; instead, players are expected to use their best judgment when deciding whether or not they should continue playing after being struck by a pole. It may be one of the weirdest sports at the Olympics, but that doesn't mean it isn't fun!
- Cesta Punta was an official Olympic sport at the 1900 Paris Summer Games.
I hope you enjoyed this first part of the series "Weirdest Olympic Sports of All Time" Check back for more installments in this eight-part series. What do you think is the strangest Olympic sport? Do you know something that should be on this list, but isn't? Let us know in the comments below. And as always, thank you for reading!

Ethereum (ETH) is one of the worst hit cryptocurrencies this year. The token, which is currently trading at $230, is down almost 84 percent from its Jan. 2018 all-time high of $1,417. However, some traders and analysts are still surprisingly upbeat about the coin's prospects. In fact, Tom Lee expects Ethereum to rally sometime soon.
Why Tom Lee Believes Ethereum Is About to Rally
The entire cryptocurrency market is yet to recover from the huge market correction in January, and Ethereum seems to be faring worse compared to other tokens. The second biggest crypto in terms of market capitalization has underperformed in the past three months, according to a report by CNBC.
But that's not stopping Head of Research and Managing Partner of Fundstrat Global Advisors Tom Lee from making a big claim. According to Lee, Ethereum is primed for a rally.
Lee believes that the sentiment on ETH is overly negative at the moment. A combination of oversupply, which developed when EOS created its own token and sold its ETH, and what Lee called "panic selling" by ICO teams has been weighing down on Ethereum's price lately. However, Lee believes that the time is near for the token to make a comeback and that a trend reversal is about to happen.
He predicts:
"We believe Ethereum is about to stage a trend reversal and rally strongly."
As a well-known Wall Street strategist with a 25-year track record in equity research, Lee is well versed in analyzing price movements in the market. After all, his previous posts included being JPMorgan's chief equity strategist for seven years, as well as being a managing director at Salomon Smith Barney before co-founding the Wall Street research firm Fundstrat.
Satis Group Predicts BTC, ETH, LTC Will Rise But XRP, BCH, EOS Will Fall in a Year
Meanwhile, Satis Group, an advisory firm specializing in security tokens, released on Aug. 30 its own forecast on the price increase of top cryptocurrencies. While the company did not say that there is an imminent rally for Ethereum, it remains confident that within one year, the coin's price will rise to $882.
Aside from its confidence on Ethereum, the firm is also bullish on a handful of other cryptos. According to its forecast, LTC will rise to $65; XMR to $1,476; and DASH to $291. Perhaps the most surprising of all, the report predicts that BTC will skyrocket all the way to $32,914, not only recovering its lost value but even shooting past its Dec. 2017 all-time high by a wide margin.
But Satis' forecast is not all peachy as the company also predicted that some tokens would decline horribly in a year. For instance, its report says that XRP will decrease by 90 percent, BCH will be reduced by 54 percent or to $258, and most devastating of all, EOS will lose 99 percent of its value and will trade at $0.05.
