"RNC Chair Demands (And Receives) Apology From Ebony Editor For Attack On African-American Staffer".
This is from the Truth Revolt, which talks about Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus demanding an apology from Ebony Magazine "not just for making assumptions about his race but more importantly for dismissing black Republicans and the validity of their opinions in public discourse."
Then over at Da Tech Guy blog we have this take on the incident. "What That Ebony Mag-RNC Thing Was Really About" by Juliette Ochieng (AKA baldilocks).
This week's racial controversy involved Ebony Magazine senior editor Jamilah Lemieux and RNC staffer Raffi Williams—son of Fox News commentator Juan Williams. When you're reading the conversation, stop seeing red and try to see green.I think baldilocks has a point. We make (or miss) clues about people, often based on names and physical appearance. We need to do better.
To sum it up, Law Professor Ann Althouse looks at a New Yorker article titled "The Fourth Quarter, Kobe Bryant confronts a long—and possibly painful—goodbye." Per the Althouse blog the article is by Ben McGrath, and contains this paragraph (on page 45 of a piece that goes from 38 to 49):
When I brought up LeBron James posting online a photo of the Heat players dressed in hoodies, with their heads bowed, in solidarity with Trayvon Martin, as political expression, Bryant seemed nonplussed. "I won't react to something just because I'm supposed to, because I'm African-American," he said. "That argument doesn't make sense to me. So we want to advance as a society and as a culture, but, say, if something happens to an African-American, we immediately come to his defense? Yet you want to talk about how far we've progressed as a society? Well, if we've progressed as a society, then you don't jump to somebody's defense just because they're African-American. You sit and you listen to the facts just like you would in any other situation, right? So I won't assert myself."I think that Mr Kobe Bryant is on to something.
Regards — Cliff

How dumb a presenter to suggest a Toyota as a project than Lamborghini, Im sure 11 year old would have answered this nicely. 3 months old video @tjsingh your son is not alone for Aventador love. Now you can have another new hobby too. I was pretty impressed with your son's idea - to sell all your car to get 1 Aventador, smart kid. 1 2 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow.

Hostels are not just for horror movies, in fact, hostels are the complete opposite to what these scary movies depict them as. A hostel is somewhere to meet amazing, like-minded people. Learn about different countries and cultures without even going there. You can share stories about the countries you've travelled and learn about the places you should visit next.
Not only are hostels waaaaaay cheaper than hotels, villas and homestays, but they are a lot cleaner and modern than you ever thought in the past. The hostels reputation is getting better and it's becoming the place to stay for backpackers alike.
On Gili Trawangan there are many dive shops that have hostels connected too them, this is because the backpacker world is becoming more adventurous and more social, so why not become a part of it? Why not be a backpacker and a scuba diver?!
Meet lots of like-minded people
Due to hostels being very social places, I mean you're basically sharing a room with two complete strangers, (they're going to turn in to your best friends) so its bound to happen that you will have something in common, especially if you're both here for diving and it just takes a "so where are you from?" to start a conversation that will turn into a friendship.
Most people you meet in your hostel have been travelling around the world or have plans too, thus meaning you both like an adventure. You also are interested in diving, this is something that a very little amount of people have ever had the pleasure to do. But now you have found him or her, or both!
Great, you have someone to talk to about your travels and your diving experiences and now your solo travelling can become travelling for two, or three, or four! And the best part is if you want to go your separate ways eventually, you can. They will understand, its part of the backpacker lifestyle. You make some of the most amazing friends in such a short time, but you know, even when you hop over to different countries, you'll meet again somewhere. Hey! You may even end up in their hometown!
Laid back, chilled vibe
Gili Trawangan is known to be the party island, but if you want to relax and be away from the peer pressures of the party goers for a few nights a hostel with a dive shop is the place to be. Everyone is relaxing between dives and taking it nice and easy. There will always be a pool to float about in an here at Compass Divers Hostel we have the most comfortable beanbags on the island to read your book in or top up that tan.
Not saying that divers don't know how to party, but we also know how to chill when it's needed. So really the hostel vibe is great, you'll have the best of both worlds if that is what you want.
You might just find a dive buddy for life
The best thing about diving and staying at a hostel is the "stranger" you met on your first night in your dorm will, by the second night be a very close friend and they will be persuading you to extend your stay so you can dive Shark point together and share more amazing memories together. And you will stay longer! And you'll be so happy to come up from the dive with your new friend and now dive buddy (for life) and be so excited to talk about everything you've just seen.
Also, making friends in your hostel before diving gives you a little more confidence when completing your buddy check and whilst diving, you can trust them to make sure you both have an awesome dive. If not, you can give them shit for it! ;) That's what friends are for right?!
So now that you have decided that YES staying in a hostel whilst diving in Gili Trawangan is very YOU, we have another lovely surprise for you. You can get a 10% discount off on your accommodation when you stay and dive with us, that is either at Compass Divers or Broken Compass Hostel. So hostel it is then, it's win-win, no doubt about it!

On December 20th, President Trump signed the Agriculture Improvement Act, also known as the 2018 farm bill, establishing farm programs and policy for U.S. agriculture for the next five years. The next day, I posted a blog describing the key provisions of the four largest titles of that farm bill, covering commodities, conservation, nutrition, and crop insurance. In this blog, I intend to discuss some of the interesting provisions found in the other eight titles in this legislation, including trade, rural development, agricultural credit, forestry, agricultural research, horticulture, renewable energy, and miscellaneous issues.
First, I want to report on the success of Senator Mitch McConnell, (R, KY) in achieving his goal of making it not only legal for American farmers to grow industrial hemp, but to have the crop made eligible for coverage under the federal crop insurance program and allow access to federal research funding to evaluate the production and processing of this newly legal crop. In total, the 2018 farm bill included 11 different provisions in four different titles that set the stage for farmers to begin producing this crop across the country. For more information about the history of this crop in the United States, check out my blog published on July 2nd, 2018: https://www.agweb.com/blog/straight-from-dc-agricultural-perspectives/why-not-hemp/
The trade title combined several export promotion and development programs into a single program, in part to protect future baseline funding for the smaller programs. Cumulatively, the new Agricultural Trade Promotion and Facilitation Program received $235 million in new mandatory funding over five years. A little noticed provision pushed by Senator Heidi Heitkamp (D, ND) will allow U.S. trade associations and cooperators to utilize resources under USDA's trade promotion programs to develop markets and promote their food and agricultural products in Cuba for the first time.
The 2018 farm bill continued the recent trend of modest reforms to U.S. international food aid programs, while avoiding major changes. These provisions include ending the requirement that at least 15 percent of development funding under the Title II 'Food for Peace' program be monetized, which means they no longer have to sell their food aid commodities in local markets to generate cash for other activities. It also allows up to 10 percent of funding in the McGovern-Dole school feeding program to be used to purchase foods produced locally in recipient countries, to smooth the transition to local operation and funding of these school feeding programs.
The credit title includes provisions raising the total indebtedness limits for farmers borrowing money from USDA under both its direct and guaranteed loan programs for both operating and ownership loans.
The research title provides additional mandatory funding of $185 million to keep the Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research (FFAR) going, and instructs them to gear up their fundraising activities to become self-sufficient in the future. Over its first few years of operation, FFAR leveraged its federal funding to attract $1.30 in non-federal funds for every federal dollar distributed in grants for cutting edge research. The title also provides $40 million in mandatory funds for scholarships in agricultural disciplines for students attending historically black colleges and universities.
In the rural development title, authorization to appropriate funds for grants, loans, and loan guarantees to expand high-speed broadband access in rural areas was increased by nearly 15 times over the previous authorization level. It also required USDA to streamline and clarify the process for obtaining funds or loans for these purposes. It also allows re-prioritization of funding to address the opioid crisis in rural America.
A provision in the forestry title authorizes USDA to utilize resources to address cross-boundary hazardous fuel projects, to reduce the chances for devastating wildfires in the future such as the one which hit Paradise, CA last fall, killing 87 people and destroying at least 12,000 homes and buildings.
The energy title invests $109 million in new mandatory funding to encourage further innovations in biobased products manufacturing, to enable increased commercial utilize of agricultural feedstocks to produce renewable chemicals and biobased products like biodegradable plastics and construction materials.
Various titles of the farm bill, including the research and horticulture title, provide $2.4 billion in mandatory funding over ten years in support of the specialty crop sector, including block grants to states, local agricultural market programs, research, and support for pest management activities.
The miscellaneous title includes funding for the National Animal Health Network, the National Animal Health Vaccine Bank, and the National Animal Disease Preparedness and Response Program, set at $120 million for the FY19-FY22 period, plus $30 million for FY23 and each year thereafter.
It also establishes an Office and Director of Urban Agriculture at USDA, and authorizes $25 million per year between FY19 and FY23 to fund grants and technical assistance to groups supporting urban agriculture. It also formally re-establishes the position of Under Secretary of Agriculture for Rural Development, which USDA had eliminated when they nominated someone to fill the position of Under Secretary of Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs in 2017.
Several provisions across a number of titles make it easier for farmers who are military veterans to get started in their operation by getting access to operating loans, crop insurance coverage, and training.

Burial Plot of China's Last Emperor Still Holds Allure
Burial Plot of China's Last Emperor Still Holds Allure
China this week marks the 100th anniversary of the start of the revolution that ended the country's last imperial dynasty. The abrupt end of the Qing dynasty meant that when the last emperor died in 1967, there was a dilemma over where to bury him. It took decades to find his final resting place, and as Stephanie Ho reports from Beijing, the ultimate solution is an example of modern China's pragmatism.

Oh my god. This is Denver's East High School Summer Cheer Camp, a fucking torture chamber where the screams of cheerleaders are received with laughter of their teammates who hold them down as a grown man pushes on their bodies to split their legs. This video of 13-year-old freshman Ally Wakefield crying "please stop" is one of eight broadcast by Channel 9 News (see the full program here). "Ozell Williams, the East High School cheerleading coach, had to see and hear this in person over and over and over," says 9News. Wakefield claims that Williams caused her ligaments and muscles to tear at the same time. Meanwhile, throughout cheer camp, Williams has been posting team bonding photos on social media.
This morning, Denver Public Schools Superintendent Tom Boasberg announced that Williams, the principal, assistant principal, assistant cheer coach, and the Denver Public Schools' deputy general counsel have all been put on leave while the Denver police investigate.
Coach Ozell Williams is a former cheerleader of the Mile High Tumblers, known for doing insane backflips at Broncos games. (Such as backflipping over Ray Romano).
He is inspirational:
"I shouldn't have to be afraid of high school cheerleading," Ally Wakefield told 9Wants to Know. "And he just makes it so that I am."
The school is now offering trauma counseling.

Will Smith Produces "Monster Hunter"
Will Smith seems to be all about monsters these days. He battles millions of them in this week's I Am Legend, and now Bloody Disgusting reports that the two-time Oscar nominee is producing Monster Hunter, a comedy starring his Hitch co-star Kevin James. (David Dobkin of Fred Claus directs.) James will play a psychologist who can actually see the monsters under children's beds.
Admittedly, the premise sounds like Monsters Inc. meets The Sixth Sense, but I can see James excelling in this part. If you've ever seen his stand-up act then you'll know James can be infinitely smarter and edgier than what you've come to expect from The King of Queens; the guy does the lovable schlub thing well, but he deserves an opportunity to do something with more bite.
Monster Hunter is awaiting the end of the writer's strike so further work can commence on the script. That means it should be in theaters by around, oh, 2012.Read More

Google Pixel 3 / Pixel 3 XL Available in Kuwait
The Google Pixel 3 and Google Pixel 3 XL is now available in Kuwait and I belive there is only 1 retailer / shop in Kuwait who got it and no one else tried to get it or dared to get it.
it's available at chips store shop located in shuweikh Tilal branch / Avenues Branch and it's also available at their website, below you will find the prices :-
Google Pixel 3 128GB Black or White : 319.750KWD
Google Pixel 3 XL 64GB Black or White : 319.750KWD
Now this is a huge price tag compared to the Google Store U.S Price which : ( Pixel 3 64GB = 800USD = 250KWD / Pixel 3 XL = 1000USD = 275KWD) , I believe that the price in the U.S is a bargain compared to the prices in Kuwait, but if you get it from Kuwait you will get the warranty from the shop so that's a good thing I guess.
But I believe the Pixel 3 is not worth the price tag, but that's just me but if you are looking into buying it, well now you know where to buy it from.

H.C. Starck develops and produces metal powders for additive manufacturing. In this interview, Dr. Rainer Leo Meisel, Senior Manager for Applied Technology Metal Powders at H.C Starck Surface Technology and Ceramic Powders GmbH in Laufenburg, Germany, talks to 3D fab+print about high market dynamics, the growing range of materials, and cooperation with system manufacturers and users in the development of new alloys.
By John Butterfield
Dr. Meisel, what role has additive manufacturing played so far at H.C. Starck, and how do you judge its potentials?
Within our group, additive manufacturing plays a large role. In our perspective, it has a lot of perspective as an application, and it is firmly rooted in our company's strategy. We started early and have managed to achieve a strong position in the market. WE therefore want to continue our strong growth. The market's enormous development is noticeable because there is a tremendous demand for suitable powders. System manufacturers have a hard time keeping up with the production of systems. And we hear from suppliers of atomizing systems that demand for their products has also risen noticeably. The reason being that this technology keeps opening up more and more fields of applications. I have just read that an underground hydroelectric power station from this region produces spare parts additively in their own system.
Which powders do you offer for additive manufacturing?
We produce various nickel, cobalt, and iron-based alloys, which, among other things, can be used as super alloys for high-temperature applications. Our cobalt-chrome alloys have been in use in medical technology for many years. We also offer various high-quality aviation alloys. Recently, we have also been experiencing a growing demand for stainless steel powders.
What about plastics or ceramic powders?
Our product portfolio does not include plastics. From time to time, we get a request for ceramic powder. Still, this market size is comparably small right now. However, tungsten and tungsten carbide, molybdenum, or tantalum are promising candidates that currently are processed in small amounts in research projects.
How do you rate chances to broaden the limited choice of materials offered on the market in the short and medium term?
This is a thing already in motion. Our manufacturing systems are well-suited for large production volumes. Additionally, we also have systems producing small amounts, which is ideal for our customers' development and research purposes. Generally, powders for additive manufacturing are atomized with an inert gas. With alternative atomization technologies like water atomization, the powders' oxygen levels result in unsatisfactory mechanical properties of the components. This would not fit the demands of additive manufacturing. Gas atomization, however, offers enough possibilities for broadening the range of materials.
The complete interview was published in the November/December 2016 edition of 3D fab+print magazine.

Couple held for milking lovesick men out of millions
Date Posted: 2003-06-14
According to investigators, the wife contacted men through a telephone-dating club. She then professed to fall in love with the men, but explained that in order to marry them she needed money to divorce her estranged husband and pay legal bills.
Police say that the couple got money from at least 20 men in the same way within a month. Hardest hit was a civil servant who reportedly was so much in love with the woman that he shelled out ¥13 million.

WTS: Muffler for Forester 2009-2013 XT: S$100
J-Subie posted a topic in Want-to-Sell (WTS)I put original muffler onto my XT, and I do not need this any more.

Please be sure the muffler meets your need before you buy. Especially compatibility to your Subaru. Inlet pipe: diameter 55 mm, distance between two holes (bolt-nut fixture) ~90 mm Outlet pipe: diameter 90 mm It created a quite "boxer" sound when I did test drive with this mufflers.

After sending off Princess Zhang Le and arranging all the affairs in Star picking City, smoothly expanding the internal space of Spirit Breeding Ring and bringing ten thousand Long Bo people with him, Wu Qi alone stepped into a teleportation formation and returned to Meng Fortress. Then, he stepped into another teleportation formation, which transported him to the border between Great Wei and Great Zhao, inside an enormous mountain range which was no smaller than Meng Mountains, yet having a steep terrain that was much more dangerous, the He Mountains!!
Right at the heart of He Mountains was a huge lake, which measured roughly one thousand miles in circumference. Although it only measured one thousand miles in circumference, it had a shocking depth of over twenty-seven thousand miles. It was like a deep well, and the force of nature could never create such an unreasonable landmark. It could only be a man-made wonder.
At the depth of twenty-seven thousand miles, the water pressure was so immense that it went beyond anyone's imagination. Only Earth Immortals with peak-stage Nascent Soul cultivation base, and the protection from defensive magical treasures of excellent quality, could walk and breathe freely like a mortal in this realm. However, in order to fight a battle, compete with magical spells, or send out flying sword to slaughter the foes, that would require the cultivation base of Nascent Divinity realm.
At the deepest level of the lake, the water was no longer ordinary water one could find on the surface. It had turned into acquired water element essence, sticky like glue, pitch-black like ink, and several times heavier than mercury. Such acquired water element essence was a rare natural treasure, and it was an excellent material for crafting magical treasures. Yet, in the deepest level of this nameless lake, it covered an area of over one thousand miles in circumference, up to the height of nearly ten miles from the bottom.
Right at the center of the lake was a light spot shimmering with a silver light, about one hundred feet in circumference. It was actually a silver beam shooting up from the bottom of the lake, right from the front gateway of Cang Ao Immortal Abode. From the source, it measured merely several tens of feet in circumference, but it expanded to over one hundred feet upon reaching the surface of the lake. Traveling through this silver beam down twenty-seven thousand miles, and bypassing over one hundred large and complex restrictive formations, one would reach the entrance to the Cang Ao Immortal Abode.
Right next to this huge lake was several hundred acres of grassland, and there stood a city. The Emperor's Flags of the six dynasties were waving in the breeze above the city. Above these flags were another two flags: a plain white flag embroidered with clouds that represented the White Cloud Immortal Sect, and a plain green flag embroidered with a lotus flower that represented the Tranquil Vimalā Sect. Shockingly, these two flags were upper-grade magical treasures. Nevertheless, they did not possess any defensive or offensive ability, as the only function was to radiate a blinding ray and clouds, so that both the flags could be clearly seen even at a distance of several tens of thousands of miles away, even by an ordinary mortal.
This was a supposed emblem for any immortal sect. Hovering above the teleportation formation in the city and looking around, Wu Qi paid no attention to such exaggeration.
Obviously, Wu Qi was just a small potato among all six dynasties, and supposedly, he should not attract too much attention. However, right after he walked out from the formation, he was immediately greeted by many hostile glances. Some of them did not even conceal the killing intent in their eyes. Judging by the number of glances he received, there were at least over one thousand men who could not wait to crush him to shreds.
It was especially true for two Xiang clan generals, Xiang Ta and Xiang Zhuang. Bringing with them a troop of elite soldiers, they just rode into the city on a bronze chariot, with many animals hunted by them piling up in the chariots, still dripping with blood. When they saw Wu Qi, their eyes immediately shot with blood. Both men exchanged a glance, then under countless gloating glances from the surroundings, they suddenly turned the chariot and began to charge towards Wu Qi.
Wu Qi gazed at Xiang Ta and Xiang Zhuang coldly. Suddenly, he pulled out an immortal talisman that was glinting brightly with green rays from the Black Dragon Spirit Ring, and lightly tapped one of its tip with his finger. Immediately, an immense immortal pressure surged from the talisman, which made the rhino that pulled the chariot to halt its wild charge instantly. It dropped to all four legs, with his body trembling endlessly. Burning with a frenzy of rage, Xiang Zhuang gave the rhino a round of fierce beating with a whip, yet the rhino refused to get back up again.
When it could no longer stand the pain from the beating, the rhino, who appeared to have formed its Demon Core, turned its head back and roared furiously at Xiang Zhuang, "General Xiang Zhuang, it is because of the agreement signed between my ancestors and Great Chu's emperor that our people help you in the war. We are not here for a worthless death! That young lad is holding an immortal talisman, a talisman made by a Heaven Immortal! If you want to seek your doom, please do it yourself! For the sake that we've been working together for so many years, I'll help to collect your corpse later!"
Xiang Ta and Xiang Zhuang's faces turned blue with rage, while some people in the crowd suddenly laughed in a mocking manner.
Among the people laughing at them, there was a very loud and unpleasant voice. It was coming from the fatty Huang Xie, who sat comfortably in a lounge chair and was enjoying a gentle massage from Li Yueyan. Patting on his big belly, Huang Xie put no effort to restrain his laugh as he said, "Generals, why are you stopping? Aye, I thought you will risk having yourself ripped to shreds just to avenge an insult for your nominal Lord and his mistress!"
Xiang Ta's muscles were tensing up, but he could still maintain his reasoning.
But, Xiang Zhuang could no longer keep his clam. He roared and drew his sword, drawing out a blood-red trail in the air as he sprung and thrust the sword right towards Wu Qi's chest. While thrusting the sword with his right hand, he clenched his left palm tightly into a fist and smashed it viciously into Wu Qi's forehead. The punch stirred up a fierce wind, shrouded in a layer of blood red energy. Obviously, he intended to crush Wu Qi's head with the punch.
A cold gleam shone from Wu Qi's eyes. While he was about to activate the immortal talisman and kill Xiang Zhuang on the spot, a white beam came shooting from a corner suddenly. A ringing of weapon clashing was heard. Xiang Zhuang's sword was splintered by the fist-sized white beam, while it continued to pierce a see-through hole in his body armor.
Xiang Zhuang howled miserably, and immediately flew backward with blood spraying out from the wound. His blood and flesh were seen creeping rapidly near the wound, as they began to quickly heal the large hole. However, there was an extremely sharp gold element murderous energy clinging to the wound, preventing his body from healing up. Xiang Zhuang fell to the ground with his body covered in blood, and he slid on the ground for several thousand feet. He could only stabilize himself when his head slammed into a bronze flagpole.
The white beam dissipated, from which Jing Ke made his appearance. Coldly, he gazed at Xiang Ta, who had drawn his sword and was prepared to strike. With a flat tone, he said, "Great Chu and Great Yan are allied to each other. If you two do not wish to stir up a conflict between the two dynasties, you better restrain yourself. Also, the Emperors of both dynasties are now White Cloud Immortal Sect's disciples, and by attempting to murder Duke of Tianyun, who is also White Cloud Immortal Sect's disciple, don't you think that you've nearly committed a crime of deceiving the Master, trying to rebel against the sect? Could it be that you are trying to make His Majesty Qu Ping go back on his oath which he swore when he joined the sect, so that his soul would be completely shattered and disintegrated?"
In a violent wrath and nearly going berserk, Xiang Zhuang struggled to his feet, and was about to join Xiang Ta to continue the fight. It was at that moment that he heard Jing Ke's reproach and exchanged a glance with Xiang Ta. Cold sweat suddenly broke out from their foreheads. Then, a fat figure came blinking into the scene, as the fatty Huang Xie left his chair and hovered right before Wu Qi. Smilingly, he yelled at Xiang Ta and Xiang Zhuang, "It is exactly as General Jing Ke said. Duke of Tianyun is Patriarch Jiang Yun's direct disciple, yet both of you are trying to murder him right in front of us. Are you trying to make His Majesty Qu Ping a man of disgrace? Could it be that you're trying to get His Majesty Qu Ping killed for dishonoring his oath?"
Huang Xie's turn up instantly killed off Xiang Ta and Xiang Zhuang's last hope. Both men snorted, then Xiang Ta supported the severely wounded Xiang Zhuang and left, seeking a quiet place to doctor his wound.
Huang Xie nodded his head at Wu Qi with a big smile on his face. He turned and gave Li Yueyan a look over his shoulder, then teleported back to her and threw himself into the chair. Wu Qi turned back to look deeply at Li Yueyan as well, his eyes filled with a barely noticeable sneer. 'Perhaps by changing your visage, you can prevent other people from recognizing you. But how could I, Wu Qi, fail to smell the scent of your body?'
He was a qualified thief, and it was natural that he would not let even the faintest scent escape from him.
Jing Ke greeted Wu Qi, then he said in a low voice, "She is Great Chu's... well, that lady has a very complicated background. Do not provoke her unnecessarily. I think she is Great Chu's Prime Minister, Li Yuan's younger sister, Huang Xie, the King of Chun Shen's..." Twitching his lips, Jing Ke used a rather rude term to describe Li Yueyan, "B*tch."
Wu Qi laughed. Shaking his head, he followed Jing Ke and walked into the main meeting hall located right in the center of the city.
Right when Wu Qi entered the hall, all the emperors and ministers from six dynasties immediately turned to look at him surprisingly. After that, a few men who bore enmity with him were about to scold him- how could a mere Duke of Tianyun from Great Yan Dynasty, who did not own any actual power in the imperial court, be eligible to participate in such an important meeting?
Of course, Wu Qi could clearly sense the hostility from these people's glances. He laughed, then slowly walked right next to Patriarch Jiang Yun, dropped to his knees, and bowed his head. "Master, with the help from three senior brothers, everything in Star picking City is progressing smoothly. I've handed over all my tasks to other people, and from now on, I can always accompany Master and listen to your teaching." said Wu Qi.
Patriarch Jiang Yun nodded his head pleasingly, then waved his hand and said, "Rise, my disciple. Your cultivation base is still weak, so you really need to learn more from me. Do not hesitate to come and meet me whenever you have any doubts about your cultivation. Hmm, these days, you can just stay with me... Hmph…" He snorted at the end of his words, and at the same time unleashed an enormous immortal pressure. Immediately, every single emperor and minister in the hall had their hair standing on end, as they suddenly recalled that although Wu Qi was Great Yan's minister, he was also Patriarch Jiang Yun's direct disciple. The level of favor he received from the superior was far greater than any one of them here!
Very quickly, all the hostile glances disappeared. Wu Qi smiled, then he strode to stand right behind Patriarch Jiang Yun and the other Heaven Immortals. Casually, he turned to look at Lu Buwei, and saw the old fox looking back at him with a smile on the face, as if nothing were wrong.
Wu Qi even saw a look of benevolence in Lu Buwei's eyes, just like a kind grandpa looking at his own obedient grandson.
Wu Qi felt a chill surge up in his heart. Sure enough, this treacherous old fox was not someone that easy to deal with. If Wu Qi did not have a witty mind, he could have been fooled by the seemingly friendly glance.
He glared at Lu Buwei, and only then turned to look at a group of men kneeling in the center of the hall, who appeared to be restrained by some talismans on their bodies. These men had very old faces, and their old age left them with only skin and bones. From the way they breathed, it seemed they could die at any time. However, the aura of their soul was extremely powerful, and vaguely, there were various beast souls drifting and hovering behind their back. Among these beast souls, the strongest was a white horse with a pair of wings on its back. It was showing a sign of breaking through peak-stage of Nascent Soul realm.
Standing right next to them, a Nascent Divinity cultivator from Tranquil Vimalā Sect cupped his fist and bowed at the six Heaven Immortals, then said, "Ancestral Masters, this group of 135 men are the Clan Leaders and Flamen from 72 strongest barbarian clans in both He Mountains and Meng Mountains. Ancestral Masters, you can ask them any questions that you would like to know the answer."
Wu Qi's eyes shone with a bright gleam, then he cast a surprised look at these old men.
They were the leaders of the strongest barbarian clans in both He Mountains and Meng Mountains?

The Pitch Book: Dead Or Alive?
It used to be that if you asked most financial professionals what the single most important piece of sales collateral was, the answer would be the pitch book, of course. In the current era of tweets, email blasts, podcasts, and other media deliverables, has the old-fashioned deck of slides fallen by the wayside? I recently asked a number of financial colleagues from both the buy and sell sides to weigh in on this question. Their replies shed some interesting light on the topic.
As most things in life go, the importance of pitch books in marketing is not a black and white issue. The responses I received to whether or not the pitch book is dead were fairly evenly split between no (alive) and yes (dead), and each side included the fund managers who create them and the investors and advisors who receive them. The graphic below summarizes the general arguments both in favor and against the pitch book's relevance in today's marketing efforts.
Social media and other technological advances have played a major role in the way people both receive and exchange information. The variety, frequency, and typical length of information exchange has evolved dramatically over the past decade, with diverse formats and faster real-time delivery, while the content length of information has shrunk dramatically, to sound bites, memes, and tweets. This evolution has been so pervasive even within the financial community that a 20-page deck of slides seems archaic and quaint as a primary means of telling an investment story.
In 1964, Marshall McLuhan first coined the phrase, the medium is the message. "The content of any medium is always another medium," meaning some of the intent of a message is delivered via its format. This is even truer in 2018, as news, gossip, e......................

The era of blockchain and cryptocurrency is with us. The question that remains is; Are the blockchain transactions legal? In this short journal I will try to bring out the news on the ground and what the Kenyan legislatures have commented on the topic and where they actually hold their ground.
First is to understand what blockchain and cryptocurrencies are. Blockchain in the lay man's terms is a digital ledger in which transactions made in bitcoin or another cryptocurrency are recorded chronologically and publicly. Cryptocurrency is a digital currency in which encryption techniques are used to regulate the generation of units of currency and verify the transfer of funds, operating independently of a central bank.
The niche of the cryptocurrency definition that I would like to expound on and which forms the basis for the legal structure is that cryptocurrency operates independently of a central bank.
This takes me back to 2015 when the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) released two circulars one to the general public and the other to the banks in Kenya.
The circulars had one message in common that the public and the banks should refrain from using or transaction in bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. The bank informed the public that virtual currencies such as Bitcoin are not legal tender in Kenya and therefore no protection exists in the event that the platform that exchanges or holds the virtual currency fails or goes out of business.
Among the reasons they cited by the Central Bank's stand were:
- Transactions in virtual currencies such as bitcoin untraceable and anonymous making them susceptible to abuse by criminals in money laundering and financing of terrorism.
- Virtual currencies are traded in exchange platforms that are unregulated all over the world. Consumers may therefore lose their money without having any legal redress in the event these exchanges collapse or close business.
- There is no underlying or backing of assets and the value of virtual currencies is speculative in nature. This may result in high volatility in value of virtual currencies thus exposing users to potential losses.
The CBK then cautioned the banks in Kenya and all institutions against dealing in virtual currencies or transacting with entities that are engaged in virtual currencies. They were advised not to open accounts for any person(s) dealing in virtual currencies such as Bitcoin. Failure to comply with the directive would lead to appropriate remedial action from the Central Bank.
This could well be understood from a legal aspect as the Central Bank's notice could be view as a precautionary measure protecting the interests of the bank. Mainly this could insulate the Central Bank of Kenya from any legal proceedings in relation to cryptocurrencies in the event one loses their money via cryptocurrency.
It should also be noted that the statute creating the bank, The Central Bank of Kenya Act, Cap 491 Laws of Kenya only defines two types of currencies as defined as under Sec 2 of the Act:
|· currency means the currency of Kenya or foreign currency;
· currency of Kenya means bank notes and coins issued by the Bank under section 22(1) and any right to receive such bank notes or coins in respect of any credit or balance at a bank or financial institution located within or outside Kenya;
· foreign currency means bank notes or coins which are or have at any time been legal tender in any territory outside Kenya and any right to receive such bank notes or coins in respect of any credit or balance at a bank either within or outside Kenya;
It is thus not in the Central Bank's power to regulate cryptocurrency, unless the statute is to be amended. The Bank is given the power to regulate transactions relating to currency which is physical unlike cryptocurrency which is virtual. The transactions are not traceable when compared to the normal currency transfer.
This will make one query, who then is to regulate cryptocurrencies? Which institution is to deal with these type of transactions?
These are questions in every investors mind. If I buy a coin in the initial coin offerings (ICO's), how can I protect myself against fraudsters and business vultures who are only there for the wrong reasons and not investments?
According to research done many have answered these questions with the view that liability should be on the company and/or persons who are selling the cryptocurrency. Thus the only way to regulate the Cryptocurrencies is by regulating the companies that are going into the business. This can be done by analyzing their business projections which are usually laid out in the whitepaper. The company should be kept under checks and balances to ensure that the objectives of the company and promises made to investors have been reached.
Kenya's Company law gives a company its own entity as a legal person which can own property, do transactions, sue and be sued. The company's articles and memorandum act as the guiding light for the company. Thus, regulating cryptocurrency on the company level would be the most reasonable approach in regulating cryptocurrencies.
In conclusion to this first part of the journal, it is my recommendation that we should as a country, develop an act regulating the crypto field. The act will seek to establish a body that will, as one of its duties, regulate all companies transacting on cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies.
This in my view will work to regulate the companies and the projects they are to initiate, it will deter those using companies as fronts for their illegal dealings from establishing these schemes in Kenya and finally it will work to protect the consumer in this case, investors, from losing their money on investments.
This will also see the growth of the economy as many investors and innovators in the science and technology department will come up. The misconceptions and myths of the technology will have been fully addressed thus reducing the negativity the technology is facing in the country.

EZ COE T&L Seminar 2012
2nd East Zone COE T&L Seminar – "Assessment: Principles and Practices"
Dunman High School teachers and about 100 participants from schools in the East Zone attended the 2nd Teaching and Learning Seminar organised by EZ COE T&L on 21 June 2012. In his welcome address, Dr Foo Suan Fong, Principal of Dunman High School, stressed the importance of and need for effective formative and summative assessments to better support teaching and learning.
The keynote speaker of the Seminar was Mr Toh Poh Guan, Director of Assessment and Research from the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB). In his keynote address, 'Assessment for Learning – Fit for Purpose, Effective for Learning', Mr Toh stressed that assessment supports students' learning as it is a vital tool in identifying and closing learning gaps in the classroom. He also gave realistic examples to illustrate how a teacher could use assessment to further improve on lesson delivery and address the students' inability to grasp concepts. The concrete illustrations and examples clearly helped the participants to better understand the ideas shared by Mr Toh. Many were also seen actively taking down the practical, useful pointers during his keynote presentation.
The five subject-based concurrent sessions were beneficial to those attending and those presenting as there was a lively exchange of ideas and an enthusiasm for learning and sharing. Most participants felt that the sessions were a very good platform for sharing ideas and teaching practices. They felt that the subject-specific sharing sessions were particularly useful as the ideas and materials shared were relevant to subject areas that they were teaching.
In all, it was a very fruitful morning.

Joanne Ryall
Joanne Ryall was Born in England, I am still lucky enough to live deep in the Countryside, near the South West coast, surrounded by rich wildlife and stunning scenery. Her uncle was a sculptor and artist, and awakened in her a love of art, and the details there-in. At the same time, her father was busily ensuring she developed a passion for firearms and shooting.
You would often find her in the metalwork or woodwork shop at school, rather than needlepoint, or cookery classes! When she left school, she trained and worked as a sign writer.
Other business avenues, eventually took her attention, flourished, and allowed her the luxury of returning to concentrate on her passion for both hunting and art combined.
Her hunting has taken her across the world, and allowed her to amass a store of experiences on different continents. Wanting to capture these memories and images, the detail possible with Scrimshaw and engraving has provided a natural medium for her.

The story goes that when Lynd Ward, as a child, discovered that his name spelled backwards was "draw", he determined to become an artist.
Ward self-portrait from the 1930s
God's Man, the first of six pictorial narratives that Ward completed, was published in 1929 and became a best-seller. The story is that of an artist who signs a contract with a mysterious stranger who gives him a magic brush. Using this tool, the artist creates paintings that win him wealth and fame. [The first ten pages of God's Man are reproduced here.] But the artist becomes disenchanted with the emptiness of his fame and the falsity of the things offered him. He strikes out, is arrested, breaks free, and escapes the city.
God's Man: Arrest, Imprisonment, Escape, Pursuers gloat after the Artist falls from a cliff.
Outside the city, the artist finds artistic completion, love, and family in a wilderness paradise…

Notes from the Composer
The "Waltz in E Minor" is influenced by the beautiful Venezuelan waltzes and is meant to be played with a good deal of rubato, which renders it pretty unsuitable for dancing to—at least in any unrehearsed way.
I do hope, though, that the "Five Latin Dances" are very suitable for dancing. The percussion parts are optional, but they do make the pieces a lot more fun. My flute partner and I have enjoyed playing along with the percussion tracks I created on my computer.
Where fingering is given in the harp parts, numbers above the notes are for the right hand, and numbers below the notes are for the left hand.
Heartfelt gratitude goes to Susan Purinton, flautist extraodinaire, for her help with the flute parts, her glorious musicianship, and her friendship. This book is dedicated to her.

Cricket matches to highlight diversity
At the age of six, Martin Koen learned how to play street cricket in South Africa. He played heavily during the summertime, testing his friendships as games became competitive.
Now a professor teaching a liberal arts UNIV 101 course, Koen said reading the required book "I am Malala" brought back vivid memories.
"It reminded me of my childhood, reading about how Malala played cricket with her brother," the assistant professor of criminal justice said.
Malala Yousafzai, the author of the book, is a Pakistani activist who is now attending her first year of college at Oxford University.
"The book showed how important cricket was to (Malala,)" Koen said. "If it wasn't important to her, she wouldn't have mentioned it."
After reading the book, Koen spoke to Michael Dixon, associate liberal arts dean, about playing cricket with his single UNIV 101 class.
"(Dixon) said let's kick it up a notch," Koen said. He and Dixon began preparing for Cricket on the Quad, scheduled for October 20.
Koen will teach the liberal arts UNIV 101 students as well as anyone passing by the basics of cricket on the university quad.
"I would say cricket is easy to learn," Koen said. "The best way to learn is just to play."
He'll provide all of the equipment, and Sodexo will cater international foods.
"The UNIV class emphasizes diversity," Koen said. "The more educated you are, the better you'll be."
He said too often, people only think of Malala's home and surrounding areas as breeding grounds for terrorism.
"They're regular people just like us," Koen said. "I hope this experience helps (students) learn more and make better decisions."
Dixon said he's looking forward to the event and has enjoyed planning with Koen.
"We started over the summer, and we want as much involvement as possible," he said. "There are 270 students currently enrolled in (liberal arts) UNIV 101. If we got just half of them out there, I'd be over the moon."
Dixon said the selection of the book "I Am Malala" for the liberal arts students was part of the college's effort to focus on diversity.
"It talks about education and access to education," he said. "Malala is a first-year freshman. These are first-year freshmen. They're peers in that regard."
Dixon said although Malala's background is much different from most university students, he hopes the students will see their similarities to her and be open to diversity.
"Everyone has challenges," he said. "This is about how we overcome those challenges."

Products and Care for Healthier AirThe Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ranks poor indoor air quality as one of the top five current public health risks in America. Poor indoor air can contribute to the development of infections and chronic lung diseases such as asthma. But did you know it can also cause nausea, fatigue, headaches, and dizziness? If your home has pollutants, such as mold, viruses, and bacteria, count on DuctWorks Heating & Air Conditioning to eliminate these irritating conditions with professional products and services.
The Products That Can Make the Most Difference in Air Quality: Humidifiers & Dehumidifiers
Most homeowners aren't aware that regulating humidity can make the biggest difference in a home's air quality. Maintaining normal humidity levels is a simple, relatively inexpensive way to solve a lot of problems—improving the air quality, providing whole-home comfort, and potentially reducing energy costs.
In the winter, low humidity makes the air feel colder than it actually is. Add a humidifier to make things a little more comfortable and save wear and tear on your furnace. That means installing a humidifier can save you money over time, both in utility bills and prolonged system life. Daikin humidifiers are the best way to ensure refreshingly comfortable air. In the summer, the process is reversed and you will feel cooler by taking humidity out of the air with a dehumidifier. Ask us about our whole-house humidifier and dehumidifier options, designed to work hand in hand with your central heating and air conditioning system.
More Products That Enhance Air Quality
The quality of your indoor air is just as important as the temperature inside your home. That's why we offer a number of indoor air quality products that will be installed by one of our NATE-certified (North American Technician Excellence) specialists in your Minnesota home.
With products like Daikin's whole-home purifiers, the air inside your home is purified, not just filtered, as often as eight times an hour. Daikin's ultraviolet lights kill potential contaminants at the source before they reach the air you breathe. Ventilators bring fresh, prefiltered air into your home without losing heating or cooling energy or efficiency. Ventilators offer a fail-proof alternative for introducing fresh air into your home and a way to reduce odors, smoke, and other pollutants.
Ask us about permanent, washable electrostatic air filters for your furnace and air conditioner, which can be up to 10 times more effective than standard disposable filters at removing microscopic dust, dirt, soot, smoke, and other pollution. These filters clean the air by using self-charging static electricity to attract the airborne particles and hold them until the filter is washed. They contain an antimicrobial material that inhibits bacteria and mold on the filter surface.
Providing the Care for Healthier Air With Installation, Repair, and Maintenance
As a Daikin Authorized Dealer, we understand that today's world isn't necessarily just about product lines; it's also about service for those products. We offer fast and friendly service for indoor air quality products, installed by NATE-certified technicians.

Hot Spring Festival Preparations Underway!
In Hokkaido, preparations are underway for the Sapporo Snow Festival as the cold weather continues.
And here in Noboribetsu, plans for a "hot" event are also underway to heat things up during winter. The Noboribetsu Onsen Yu Festival, sponsored by the Noboribetsu International Tourism and Convention Association.
The festival is to show our gratitude for the Yu or hot water that makes Noboribetsu Onsen such a wonderful place. The abundant, high quality water is truly fantastic, and by showing our gratitude, we also extend our wish that the water continue to flow to keep us all healthy and happy.
At the festival, as in the photo above, men gather outside in the extreme cold and gather buckets of hot water across from Dai-ichi Takimotokan. The Hot Water Battle then takes place!
Details of the event will be updated on the website of the Noboribetsu International Tourism and Convention Association.
We look forward to sharing this great event with you!

A fake AIG who had 11 ATM cards, 10 cheque books on him, has been arrested at a bank in Kubwa, a satellite town in the Federal Capital Territory.
Olawale Olatunji, the 59-year-old man posing as a retired Assistant Inspector-General of Police, was paraded in Abuja on Wednesday by the FCT Commissioner of Police, Bala Ciroma, who disclosed that the fake AIG has been defrauding unsuspecting members of the public by promising to assist them in getting contracts at the Police Airwing department.
The police boss said;
"On December 10, 2018, Police operatives from the Command arrested Olatunji who has been parading himself as a retired AIG.
"The suspect had under the same pretext defrauded unsuspecting members of the public by offering to help them secure contracts at the Police Air Wing.
"In the course of the investigation, fake Police Air Wing receipts, fake contract documents, 11 ATM cards, 10 checkbooks and letter headed papers of different companies were recovered from him as exhibits."
The suspect who asked the police to charge him to court, noting that he was not a criminal, admitted ownership of the exhibits including the fake Police Air Wing receipts, but denied defrauding people.
"A pastor introduced me to someone as a retired AIG, but I didn't defraud anyone. The ATM cards and checkbooks were for my bank accounts which were opened for my business with different companies," he claimed.

nmrshiftdb2 is a NMR database (web database) for organic structures and their nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) spectra. It allows for spectrum prediction (13C, 1H and other nuclei) as well as for searching spectra, structures and other properties. Last not least, it features peer-reviewed submission of datasets by its users. The nmrshiftdb2 software is open source, the data is published under an open content license. Please consult the documentation for more detailed information. nmrshiftdb2 is the continuation of the NMRShiftDB project with additional data and bugfixes and changes in the software.
New release 2013-09-08 12:43 - nmrshiftdb2A new nmrshiftdb2 is live on the servers. Main change is a rework of the submit process, with a hopefully much improved usability. See here for details.
Software update 2012-11-26 12:43 - nmrshiftdb2A new release of the software has been deployed to the servers. Apart from some bugfixes, the most important change is the improved handling of stereochemistry in predictions. See here for details.
nmrshiftdb2 collaborates with ThomsonReuters 2012-06-25 12:43 - nmrshiftdb2ThomsonReuters announced a new database resource at the American Library Association Conference, which links literature references with original data. It will be called Data Citation Index and will be part of Web of Knowledge. We are proud that nmrshiftdb2 will be part of this initiative alongside major data providers. We believe this is an important step to bring more visibility to our data, their suppliers and their papers. You can find the ThomsonReuters press release at here
New cooperations 2012-06-24 13:56 - nmrshiftdb2We are proud to announce more usage of nmrshiftdb2 data and software. Firstly, Jean-Marc Nuzillard from Universite de Reims Champagne-Ardenne has integrated the nmrshiftdb2 prediction mechanism into his LSD (here) and CASA (here) software. LSD is a structure elucidation software and CASA verifies a suggested structure, both using 1D and 2D nmr data. We are proud to help with this. Secondly, Chemaxon, a commercial software vendor known for its Marvin tools, has built a NMR prediction based on nmrshiftdb2 data, using their own algorithm (here). It's good to see the open data principle at work with more implementations using the data being done.
New functions 2012-06-16 08:11 - nmrshiftdb2We did a software update, which brings some new features. They include an automatic assignment (to be found on the "Assignment" tab) and the possibility to submit spectra as "private" for later publishing - interesting during writing of papers and other publications.
Software update 2011-12-31 12:51 - nmrshiftdb2Today nmrshiftdb2 was updated to a new release. It includes bugfixes and some new features. For an overview, see the changelog at here Apologies to all who experienced downtimes during the update!
Lost structures? 2011-12-20 14:48 - nmrshiftdb2In case somebody is watching the statistics closely, she/he might have noticed that the number of structures has gone down by around 70. This is not a loss of data, we are actually merging entries where duplicate structures crept in over time. So we are not actually losing data.

A fatal mistake stripped Zach Roderick of the powers that define him, leaving him a tormented shadow of the warrior he once was. Now, his teammate's life depends on Zach resurrecting the fire that once burned within him. As he undertakes a battle he has no way to win, he is derailed by a tempestuous beauty that awakens in him the dark desires that destroyed him once before.

The once-powerful guardian is facing her last and greatest battle, and failure means a return to a sexual enslavement that is far worse than death. Her intense and passionate need for the powerful warrior who has vowed to protect her threatens the very foundation of her survival, but his refusal to abandon her drags them both into a world where wild, untamed passion rages, and surrender is their only chance.

Federal budget balanced for the first time since the GFC
The federal budget has returned to its best position in more than a decade on the back of soaring iron ore prices and a strong jobs market.
Treasurer Josh Frydenberg on Thursday revealed the 2018-19 budget showed a deficit of $690 million, which in accounting terms is a balanced budget.
In April, the government was expecting the 2018-19 budget to show a deficit of $4.2 billion.
The last budget surplus, of $19.7 billion or 1.7 per cent of GDP, was in 2007-08. Thurday's budget is the first time it has been balanced since the global financial crisis.
It is a sharp improvement from 2017-18 when then-treasurer Scott Morrison forecast the following year's budget would show a deficit of $21.4 billion.
A lift in company tax receipts over the past two years, principally from skyrocketing iron ore prices, have swelled the government's coffers. At the same time, the government has underspent $6.4 billion on the National Disability Insurance Scheme, the DisabilityCare Australia Fund and family tax benefits.
Nominal GDP grew by 5.3 per cent in 2018-19, which was significantly stronger than the 2018-19 budget forecast of 3.75 per cent.
"This was primarily the result of higher-than-assumed prices for key commodities, which more than offset the softer-than-expected real GDP growth," the final budget outcome said.
In May last year, the government was expecting company tax receipts to reach $91.2 billion in 2018-19. Instead, they came in at $94.7 billion.
The stronger-than-expected jobs market has also helped Mr Frydenberg, with an extra $3 billion in income tax receipts flowing through to the budget than was forecast in April.
Mr Fydenberg committed to delivering a surplus in 2019-20.
"Our strong fiscal management has put the budget on a sustainable trajectory, ensuring that we can guarantee the essential services that Australians need and deserve," he said.
The final budget outcome shows the government did not reach the assumed expenditure estimate of $13.1 billion on the NDIS.
"This is in part because of the delays in some of the states coming on board, and also because it's taken a bit more time for the service provider market to develop sufficiently to meet the available demand it has taken," said Mr Frydenberg.
"At no point, and that is very important, at no point has our government made a policy decision to cut funding to the NDIS."
Shadow treasurer Jim Chalmers accused the government of propping up the budget by-underfunding disability services.
"Instead they give press conferences, patting themselves on the back to short-changing Australians with a disability, and they pretend everything's hunky-dory in the economy," he said.
"Walk down a main street in Australia and ask the workers and managers how they are going."
Deloitte Access Economics partner Chris Richardson said while the economy faced challenges, the factors that influenced the budget, such as commodities and tax receipts, were performing better than expected.
New figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics released on Thursday show the unemployment rate ticked up to 5.3 per cent in August, its highest rate in 12 months, while wage growth remains stubbornly low.
"It's not that the economy is better," said Mr Richardson. "It happens that the bits of the economy that drive the budget have gotten better."
