Big Picture – A Deep Dive Examination of Smartco
Smartco Snapshot
Charles Breese
In the early 1980s Charles Breese, the developer of SMARTCO Select, had the insight that the economic turmoil which started around 2008 would come - people behaving as though they were wealthy supported mainly by ever rising property prices was unsustainable. Accordingly he developed a behavioural investment tool to identify SMARTCOs likely to thrive throughout longer term economic cycles (including periods of turmoil) and is based on an analysis of the principles applied by people who build businesses to compete on the basis of value rather than price ie companies with pricing power.
Key Features of SMARTCOs
- commercialising game changing technology with the potential to provide solutions to global problems ie exporters.
- providing economic benefits to their direct and indirect customers i.e. competing on the basis of value rather than price, through improving customer productivity.
- pursuing a 'product as a service' business model thereby generating a growing stream of predictable income, resulting in less resource needing to be deployed on ongoing lead generation (which provides no value to customers) and more resource on product development (which benefits customers).
- potential to be grown to a value of at least £100m, and significantly beyond that figure with successful ongoing execution of the strategy.
- the business must have the ability to build partnership relationships with customers based on a) exceptional knowledge and b) being prepared to work with customers at the product development stage through to volume manufacturing.
- a team containing senior industry relevant experience gained within a large corporate

Yesterday Australia swore in it's first female Prime Minister. Julia Gillard, welcome to the top job.
I heard Julia Gillard speak once, long before she was deputy or shadow anything. She was good. She'd done her homework, knew her audience, understood our issues. She stood out from the other politicians. I liked her. First impressions tend to stick and I think she'll be good for the job. Here's hoping that she'll continue to talk politics and the media will continue to listen and we won't see a replay of superficial discussions about her hair-cut, wardrobe and decision not to have children.

School closed as Naveen holds meeting at school ground
It was like an undeclared holiday at Ramachandi Bijoyananda high school at Ramnagar village in Kendrapara district.
Over 400 boys and girls had turned up at the school premises for their classes. To their dismay, they found the school closed in view of chief ministers meeting.
The school had turned into temporary shelter for gun totting cops in violation of Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, child right activists and legal experts aid.
We were forced to suspend the classes as police forces were stationed in the campus. Besides, holding classes was not possible because of noise generated from the public meeting. We were also asked to vacate the school building for the day in view of the CM's meeting, Headmaster of Ramnagar Bijoyananda High School, Subhash Ghadei, said.
Though schools in the proposed Posco project site had remained closed for housing police, the force was later removed at the instance of the Orissa High Court and National Child Rights Commission.
There was disruption in classroom teaching in yet another government-run primary school as the helipad for the landing and takeoff of Chief Minister's chopper had come up in close vicinity of the school campus.
Kendrapara District Collector, Durga Prasad Behera, however claimed that he was unaware of the incident. I am not aware of such misuse of school premises. It is yet to be brought to my notice. However the matter is being inquired by district schools and mass education department, he said.

As if racism in the real world wasn't enough...now we've got racist robots? Oliver Cohen reports on racism in the technology sector, and the underrepresentation of minority groups in training data.
Race isn't usually a topic that is discussed in a calm technical matter void of emotion. In fact, that's why I was all the more surprised to learn the perpetual flame war had moved to the realm of the tech sector. You'd be forgiven for thinking that the realm of an AI, a mechanical computer processing that doesn't usually encompass the emotion and foibles of its human creators, had inherited the sins of the parent and is now being accused of the very same prejudices.
The algorithms were better at correctly identifying a white male face than that of a dark-skinned woman.
What I'm referring to is a study that recently was published by the MIT media labs by Joy Buolamwini as part of their thesis. It is a long, detailed document that is too complex to fully explain in a short article, however well worth the read if you have some spare time on your hands. The crux of it was looking at facial recognition algorithms for gender classification and their performance across a variety of modalities with a particular emphasis on skin colour and gender of those being identified.
The results are "interesting". Looking at the classification algorithms, there was a large discrepancy with the error produced by the algorithms when tested on light skinned versus darkly skinned data and also in males vs females. The algorithms were better at correctly identifying a white male face than that of a dark-skinned woman. It was not by an irrelevant margin either. The error discrepancy for males vs females was between nine and twenty percent for the various algorithms and for skin shade, between ten and twenty-one percent. These were also not algorithms confined and only used in the labs. The algorithms surveyed included ones from Apple, IBM and Microsoft. The chances are that most people reading this have no doubt used one at some point in the recent past.

The obvious question might be, while this is an issue, is it a big deal in the whole scheme of the racial problems persisting today. The answer, in my not so important opinion, is a resounding yes. The problems that cause such issues are certainly not limited to facial recognition. In fact, from cases of inappropriate chatbots, to a court risk assessment algorithm that was biased against black prisoners; this is an issue that pervades a lot of past, current and worryingly, possible future AI. Artificial intelligence in its current form starts as an empty vessel and is programmed by its creators. This means whatever it is, is nothing more than a mere reflection of an environment that created it.
This is not to say I categorically believe all of Silicon Valley/ the tech sector are a huge bunch of white cloak wearing, 1960's racists. Like most issues of the present day, the situation at hand is a lot more nuanced. I think a lot of the situation can be looked at through the facial recognition example.
It hammers home the point that an algorithm of this sort is only as good as it's training data.
Firstly, however, I need to explain how such an algorithm works, very briefly of course. The exact mathematical process whereby you teach a computer how to recognise a woman's face versus a man's is not just complicated but well over the realm of this authors understanding. One of the key details that I think is quite simple, is the starting point, training data. It's an important concept and one I'll come onto later. Essentially the process is such that once you have the algorithm to "train it" you show it examples of data and the correct classification. I.e. if you were training it to recognise shapes you would show it many squares while telling it what it's looking at is indeed a square. This is a gross oversimplification, and other algorithms work in varied ways. However, it hammers home the point that an algorithm of this sort is only as good as it's training data.

What was interesting was that of the reasons the MIT study hypothesised for the differential inaccuracy was the training data specifically. Along with the benchmarks that are used to test such algorithms, both were found to be inherently underrepresented in minority departments. The issue could lie in the fact that although people of colour are an inherent minority in the US (around 12.6% according to the 2010 US census), training data that mirrors this percentage is never going to produce algorithms that achieve an accuracy of the white counterparts.
With a future that will no doubt amplify the present, where mortgages, loans and insurance are all decisions made based off of AI like talked about here, as students we must be mindful. We are a generation where we could be the ones both creating and being the victim of inherent biases of the prejudices that will pervade our machine counterparts.

There is more salt water on Earth than freshwater, says the water mavens from Green Water Technologies. But for all its benefits, including recreation, there is one important thing saltwater simply can't do and that is sustain human life.
Q: Why can't humans drink salt water?
Green Water Technologies: While salt is a necessary nutrient, too much or too little can wreak havoc on the body's operating system. It can essentially cause the body to dehydrate and shut down.
Q: Doesn't the body have a way to stabilize sodium?
Green Water Technologies: At a cellular level, yes. The body is capable of stabilizing some salt and prevent excess from entering our cells since each cell is outfitted with a semipermeable membrane. However, semipermeable is not impermeable and, under enough pressure, salinated water can replace the cell's water content.
Q: But why is drinking saltwater fatal?
Green Water Technologies: If you consume saltwater in lieu of freshwater, your body is essentially experiencing a net loss of hydration due to the above-mentioned semipermeable membrane of the body's cells. As the body tries to compensate for this fluid loss, your heart rate increases and blood vessels constrict in an effort to maintain each organ's blood pressure.
Q: What are some signs of dehydration?
Green Water Technologies: The first indication that the body needs water is simply thirst. Beyond that, dry mouth and fatigue are common. Other effects of excess sodium intake include muscle cramps and, eventually, organ failure. Dehydration is treated only by replenishing the body's store of usable water. If you are dehydrated, avoid drinking coffee, tea, and other diuretic fluids. Instead, opt for plain water or sports drinks enhanced with electrolytes.

Cale Schupman
Leadership Scholar
Project: Evolving Video Games as an Artistic Medium
Cale Schupman is a senior in Digital Arts and Experimental Media. His focus academically has been on the practice and theory of creating art in new and experimental media. His goal is to bring social awareness, strong storytelling, and a new level of artistic merit to the young, emerging medium that is video gaming. Cale wants to create video games that provoke critical thinking, explore the human condition, and foster unique opportunities for learning. He is currently working on a video game project outside of school that will ideally achieve some
of these goals and generate enough funding
to create a stable studio.
Receiving the Mary Gates Leadership Scholarship has been an experience that has galvanized my spirit and given me another layer of confidence to achieve my goals. The financial support has been essential in keeping loans under control and hours at a part-time job to a minimum. Writing the application and interviewing was very important to my development as a leader; it forced me to articulate my goals to an audience unfamiliar with my field, which I had not been used to doing. The application process also forced me to take a hard look at where I was in my development as a leader, and asked me articulate a path for improvement, which has turned out to be useful guidance. Finally, the process of applying and the award of the scholarship helped me to build the confidence to define myself as a leader: as someone who inspires and guides.

The examples and perspective in this article deal primarily with the United States and do not signify a worldwide view of the topic. Below organic requirements, natural cows should eat a 60% recent grass based mostly diet or hay/silage (conserved grass). I believe in organic animals raised in humane conditions, which incorporates dwelling in a free-vary habitat and consuming a extra normal weight loss program. Hormones: The problem with milk is that many conventionally raised dairy cows, in contrast to organic ones, are injected with bovine development hormone (BGH, the artificial model of which is known as either recombinant bovine development hormone, rBGH, or recombinant bovine somatotropin, rBST) to extend their milk manufacturing.
Higher meat quality from diminished stress & being raised 'naturally'. You may enhance this article , talk about the problem on the speak page , or create a new article , as applicable. Standard and organic farmers can do little to keep away from the DDE residues in milk. I, myself, would slightly reduce on some animal consumption and/or pay something more (not outrageous, of course) because I don't consider we have to go there if we simply educate extra as to why moderation in consumption is the best avenue, health being simply one of the causes.
Elaine Gordon, an authorized well being training specialist, affords her picks for every little thing from breakfast to dessert. We are diligent to ensure the farms and ranches meet our quality standards that provide meat not mentioned above. Pork season is in the late fall after the pigs feed on late-season fruits and nuts. I'm in no way affiliated with entire food markets however studying some if the comments I couldn't resist posting.
We deliver your meat in wool-insulated chilled boxes which keep issues cool a very good 8 hours. Of course, I don't wish to consume antibiotics and eat development hormones but essentially the most imporant factor was the humane remedy of farm animals during their life and throughout the finish of their life. Pasteurization fails some of the time, permitting milk contaminated with bacteria to get into the food provide, however there are no studies evaluating sicknesses caused by organic vs. conventional milk.
Don't be misled by packages of meat, eggs, and dairy merchandise" with pictures of completely happy animals running close to quaint country barns and reassuring labels proclaiming natural" or free-vary." Animals on typical organic and free-vary" farms often spend much of their time confined to crowded sheds or mud-filled pens, simply as animals on typical manufacturing facility farms do. Whereas the U.S. Division of Agriculture (USDA) requires animals on so-referred to as free-range" farms to have entry to out of doors areas, it would not specify how much time they should be allowed to spend outside or how a lot area they should be given.

Modern medicine has made huge strides in the past decade in the detection, awareness, and treatment of traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Until recently, however, the majority of non-invasive imaging tools were not suitable or able to produce useful results on living brains and patients. Diffusion tensor imaging measures different properties of brain tissue than traditional MRI or CT systems, and is well-suited to detecting even mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs), such as those resulting from auto accidents or falls, in living patients. Previously, the only way to positively diagnose an mTBI was through post-mortem examination of the brain tissue.
How diffusion tensor imaging works
While MRIs and fMRIs use magnetic resonance, and CT scans utilize x-rays, diffusion tensor imaging detects and analyzes how water travels through the white matter of the brain. By using similar techniques to an MRI, combined with advanced mathematical equations studying how the brain's white matter shifts water across various axes, diffusion tensor imaging allows for study of processes of the brain, rather than composition, electrical activity, or structure. It has also been extremely useful in diagnosing and managing diseases such as multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease and traumatic brain injuries.
Mild traumatic brain injuries are less visible, but equally problematic
In any traumatic brain injury, mild or otherwise, the brain which normally rests in a fluid and tissue protective coating inside the skull, moves suddenly and impacts the skull. This can lead to obvious defects, whether the brain is physically damaged, or has suffered more subtle injuries, where all the structures of the brain appear fine, but the functionality is impaired. Traditional TBIs are visible on some types of scans, while mTBIs often are not, making ultimate diagnosis challenging. Symptoms associated with mTBIs are not unlike those associated with TBIs in general, such as:
- Headaches or seizures
- Memory loss, confusion, or slowness of thought
- Mood changes, such as depression and poor concentration
- Sensory problems, like visual issues, loss of sense of smell, or unusual sensitivity to light and sound
- Fatigue, balance trouble, and sleep disturbances
These symptoms often appear after a delay from the originating trauma, meaning the person may appear to be fine for hours or even days after a head injury, and then later present with even mild versions of a few of these symptoms, signaling that his or her brain has suffered impairment. Prompt diagnosis through this new type of imaging could reduce disregard or errors in diagnosis and hasten treatment, improving patient outcomes. For patients who are suspected to have an mTBI from an auto accident or other injury, DTI can assist with diagnosis and understanding the extent of the damage to the brain. In cases where legal responsibility is being assessed, or compensation allotted, knowing more about the scope of the TBI can lead to more fair outcomes.

Treetops Clouds Sky daily painting
6"x6" oil on masonite. "From my Backyard" The kids are out of school for summer, yeah! We have already been "fun" busy with baseball, swimming, a little camping, the drive in theater. I am hoping to stay disciplined with getting at least one little painting done 5 days a week. I will get up early and paint before the kids are up or while they are having breakfast or as I did today, painting from my backyard, while my daughter plays with a friend.

Agile observations with eduScrumBack
Agile observations @ co-create! #3
eduScrum op co-create The Agile Consortium shared its booth at the exhibition floor with eduScrum, an organization aimed at implementing Scrum within secondary schools. The enthusiastic initiator of eduScrum and chemistry & physics teacher Willy Wijnands, introduced a team of four students scrumming their chemistry lessons.
The students showed their planning, their burn down chart and their definition of done. They also invented a new scrum item; the DoF. Definition of Fun. In a mini-interview they commented on their learning process with scrum. "Yes, we enjoy it, but we are also happy that that we have ordinary lessons as well! Why? Because it is very intensive to be responsible for your own work all the time, hahaha."
Students: Leonie, Islam, Julia-Bella en Lindy.
Ashram College in Alphen aan den Rijn.
The results of the students using scrum are excellent. As a group they achieve a significant higher average grade than their peer group attending classes with traditional teaching methods. Willy: "One of the teachers commented that it was unfair, because he worked very hard to get them high grades. And that underlines the essence of scrum in the classroom. As a teacher helping students to let them do the hard work!"

Four months since the deadly Ebola fever broke out in western Uganda, there is still no clear explanation of where the original victim contracted the virus from. But government now believes the outbreak may have come as a result of people eating monkey meat.
Officials in Bundibugyo district were by press-time still noncommittal about what sparked off the current outbreak. Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Elias Byamungu, said that investigations were continuing, while Resident District Commissioner (RDC) Samuel Kazinga, who chairs the district's Ebola Task Force, promised to make the information public once investigations were complete.
Tracing this "index case" is important to scientists trying to understand exactly where the Ebola virus hides between outbreaks. Knowing this natural reservoir would help the country cope better with any future outbreaks.
Initial reports said that the first victims had eaten a dead goat suspected to have been bitten by a monkey. But speaking in Kampala last week, President Yoweri Museveni cast doubts at monkey-goat theory, suggesting instead that the initial victims might have eaten a monkey.
This appears to be the official view. The minister of State for Health, Emmanuel Otaala, said early this week that investigators had failed to find any trace of the goat suspected to have been bitten by the monkey.
"We tried to trace for the skin of the said goat but in vain," Otaala said by telephone. "So we think the victims actually ate the monkey. And you see Ebola is not known to stay in goats but it can affect primates like monkeys."
The Ministry of Health says the strain of Ebola in Bundibugyo and Kabarole is different from previous types identified in Zaire, Ebola Sudan, Ebola Ivory Coast and Ebola Reston (USA). Medical authorities suggest that this latest strain of Ebola may not be as lethal as previous ones and should not be hard to contain.
Ebola is a highly infectious viral disease without a cure - characterised by fever, joint pains, vomiting and bleeding, among other symptoms. In most outbreaks, up to 70 percent of those infected die.

not sure that the new U2 album is Magnificent, at all…
Posted on April 23rd, by spillly in Uncategorized. No Comments
Just bought the new U2 CD, (free birthday gift voucher!)
I decided to buy it as It's a pre-requisite to have in any decent collection
and I went thru a massiv! U2 phase, like in the 90's!
So listening to it and yes its bono, and yes it sounds like U2 but am I
moved ?
Moved like hearing the last Kings of Leon Cd?
Ah.. sadly I have to say No!
So my advice: don't bother putting a few more Pounds into the famous
foursomes accounts..

By Mandela Wells
Eddie Redmayne last year surprised many with his immersive and candid performance as Stephen Hawking In the Theory Of Everything. Even going as far as portraying his Motor Neurone Disease that plagued him for most of his life. Redmayne would go on to win the Oscar this year for Best Actor. Now Redmayne is back to give us a performance that is even more daring than Theory of Everything. The Danish Girl sees the 33 year old British actor playing Lili Elbe formerly known as Einar Wegener who was the first person to go forth with sexual reassignment surgery going from a man to a full fledged woman.
The trailer for the movie has been released and we are first introduced to Einar Wegener and his wife Gerda Wegener (Alicia Vikander) and their happy marriage. Gerda is a skilled painter and asks her husband to stand in for a female model in one of her paintings. The portraits turn out to be a hit and leads to Gerda continuously painting her husband in further pictures as a woman. As we see int he trailer Einar slowly begins to enjoy the idea of a female physical appearance. Einar begins putting on lipstick, fixing up his hair and wearing dresses. Einar fully becomes Lili Elbe and unfortunately it causes a strain between him and his wife. Even going as far as kissing another man (Ben Whishaw).
At the same time a suave young man named Hans Axgil (Matthias Schoenaerts) also takes a liking to Lili which complicates things even further as a love triangle forms. Gerda realizes that in more ways than one her husband is not the same as when she married him. We then go to scenes were they show the couple preparing for the surgery. The trailer ends with several colorful shots before showing one last shot of Lili Elbe.
The movie which is based on a true story is directed by Tom Hooper who collaborated with Redmayne for Les Miserables. Amber Heard and Sebastian Koch also round out the cast. Lucinda Coxon wrote the script and the movie will be set to hit theaters November 27th. Scroll down to check out the trailer.

Thank you for visiting our website in your search for "The Affluence Network International Experienced Marketers" online.
Anyone can become a Bitcoin miner running applications with specialized hardware. Mining applications listen for broadcast transactions on the peer-to-peer network and perform the appropriate tasks to process and support these transactions. Bitcoin miners do this because they are able to make transaction fees paid by users for quicker transaction processing, and new bitcoins in existence are under denominated formulas.
Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact cash and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in an identical way, but in addition they take part in more complicated smart contracts. Multiple signatures enable a trade to be supported by the network, but where a particular number of a defined group of people agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This permits progressive dispute arbitration services to be developed in the foreseeable future. These services could enable a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their cash. Unlike cash and other payment systems, the blockchain consistently leaves public evidence a transaction happened. This can be possibly used in a appeal against businesses with deceptive practices.
Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which implies the cost a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. A lot of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This restricts the variety of bitcoins that are truly circulating in the exchanges. Additionally, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Therefore, even the most diligent buyer couldn't purchase all existing bitcoins. This scenario is not to imply that markets will not be vulnerable to price exploitation, yet there is certainly no requirement for large sums of money to transfer market prices up or down. The smallest events on the planet market can affect the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive.

The physical Internet backbone that carries information between different nodes of the network has become the work of several companies called Internet service providers (ISPs), including companies offering long distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local conduit, which ultimately links in families and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only happen through one of these ISPs, players like amount 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP runs its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private companies, and occasionally by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to transfer messages across the network. Many ISPs have agreements with suppliers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and companies who desire to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network causes it to be possible for the data to flow without interruption, in the appropriate location at the right time.
While none of these organizations "owns" the Internet together these companies decide how it works, and recognized rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's happening to discover how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for instance, one needs permission from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to attach to and with her. Concern over security issues? A working group is formed to focus on the issue and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you've got someone to phone to get it mended. If the problem is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in position and service level agreements, which govern the manner in which these problems are solved.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain is not governed by any centralized business. No one can tell the miners to update, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a dedicated advocate badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet works. But as you comprehend now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works current constitutional difficulties to the consumer. Blockchain technology has none of that.
For most users of cryptocurrencies it isn't essential to understand how the process operates in and of itself, but it is simply crucial that you understand that there's a process of mining to create virtual money. Unlike currencies as we understand them now where Authorities and banks can only select to print endless amounts (I am not saying they are doing thus, only one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining software, which solves the complex algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation.
Ethereum is an incredible cryptocurrency platform, yet, if growth is too fast, there may be some issues. If the platform is adopted quickly, Ethereum requests could rise dramatically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the entire platform of Ethereum could become destabilized due to the raising costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether can result in an adverse change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based business that may lead to business being unable to continue to operate or to discontinue operation.
Many people choose to use a currency deflation, especially people who need to save. Despite the criticism and disbelief, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Fiscal solitude, for instance, is excellent for political activists, but more debatable when it comes to political campaign funding. We need a steady cryptocurrency for use in commerce; in case you are living pay check to pay check, it'd happen within your wealth, with the rest earmarked for other currencies.
When searching on the web for The Affluence Network international experienced marketers, there are many things to think of.

Click here to visit our home page and learn more about The Affluence Network international experienced marketers.
You are able to run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. Anytime you learn to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you purchase the uptrend will never drop! Always will go down! Viewers incremental profits are more reliable and profitable (most times)
It should be hard to get more small gains (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the best way to read these Candlestick charts! And I discovered these two rules to be true: having little gains is more lucrative than trying to fight up to the peak. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it's better to have a look at books than wait for order confirmation when you believe the cost is going down. Second, there is more volatility and compensation in currencies that never have made it to the profitability of sites like Coinwarz.
Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to investigate possibilities for making substantial ammonts of money with various types of online marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to brave the cryptocurrency marketplaces.Bitcoin architecture provides an informative example of how one might make lots of money in the cryptocurrency marketplaces. Bitcoin is an incredible intellectual and technical achievement, and it has generated an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But very few people understand that and miss out on very lucrative business models made available because of the growing use of blockchain technology.
It's definitely possible, but it must have the ability to recognize opportunities regardless of market conduct. The market moves in relation to cost BTC … So even if it's in a BTC trend down can make money by buying the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you'll be acceptable.
The transactions of Bitcoins are recorded in ledgers which are referred to as Blockchains. The ledgers use extremely complicated technology about them to work. The idea is quite simple than you believe. The Blockchain allows two parties to create a smart contract. The contract can be created between two businesses in a platform understood If you are looking for The Affluence Network international experienced marketers, look no further than TAN.

Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others have been designed as a non-fiat currency. In other words, its backers claim that there is "real" value, even through there is no physical representation of that value. The value climbs due to computing power, that is, is the lone way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU power via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time frame that is worth an ever decreasing amount of money or some kind of benefit in order to ensure the shortfall. Each coin includes many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each component is called a satoshi. The blockchain is where the public record of all transactions dwells.
The fact that there is little evidence of any growth in the utilization of virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal efforts to regulate it. The reason for this could be merely that the market is too little for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory effort. It is also possible the regulators just do not comprehend the technology and its consequences, anticipating any developments to act.
Here is the coolest thing about cryptocurrencies; they don't physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you look at a particular address for a wallet containing a cryptocurrency, there is absolutely no digital information held in it, like in the exact same way that a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It's only a representation of worth, but there is no genuine palpable type of that worth. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be seized or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They don't have spending limits and withdrawal constraints enforced on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can decide how their riches will be managed.
The wonder of the cryptocurrencies is that scam was proved an impossibility: due to the dynamics of the process by which it's transacted. All deals on the crypto-currency blockchain are irreversible. After youare paid, you get paid. This is not anything shortterm wherever your visitors may challenge or require a refunds, or employ unethical sleight of palm. In practice, most dealers could be smart to make use of a transaction processor, because of the irreversible dynamics of crypto-currency transactions, you should make certain that protection is difficult. With any kind of crypto-currency whether a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or any of the numerous different altcoins, thieves and hackers might access your individual recommendations and so steal your cash. However, you probably will never obtain it back. It's vitally important for you really to undertake some very good safe and secure procedures when working with any cryptocurrency. This may protect you from many of these unfavorable events.
Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put into circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to produce more. The mining process is what makes more of the coin. It may be useful to consider the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are exactly the same. Mining crypto coins means you will get to keep the full rewards of your efforts, but this reduces your likelihood of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have higher possibility of solving a block, but the reward will be divided between all members of the pool, depending on the amount of "shares" won.
If you're thinking of going it alone, it's worth noting the software settings for solo mining can be more complex than with a swimming pool, and beginners would be probably better take the latter path. This alternative also creates a steady stream of revenue, even if each payment is modest compared to completely block the benefit.
In the case of a fully functioning cryptocurrency, it could actually be traded as being a commodity. Advocates of cryptocurrencies announce this form of virtual money is not controlled by way of a key banking system and it is not thus susceptible to the vagaries of its inflation. Because there are always a limited variety of items, this coinis value is based on market forces, letting owners to deal over cryptocurrency transactions.

This may sound very odd .. and contrary to the consumer uptake worldwide since so many people want an iPad as their Christmas gift ..
I bought an iPad recently
And it sits more or less as it is
Even my tech savvy seven year old has abandoned it for his PC
I was a fan of iPad from a commercial sense see a previous post Tablet sizes and sales: One size fits all? 10 inch screen vs 7 inch screen – insights and perspectives
There are two problems:
1) The ten inch screen is NOT mobile .. Mobility has a premium which I love (ex more compact laptops cost more, I do a lot on my blackberry etc). The iPad sits on my desk keeping the PC company
2) I thought I could read RSS, research papers or other media. But there is no disk and no USB drive. So 'out of the box' its pretty much useless
I am now reduced to trying to find apps for the iPad using links like techradar ipad apps
and shock horror! I even bought a 'iPad app directory' from WH Smith in a desperate attempt to salvage my investment (see above image – it has no web site!)
In retrospect a 7 inch tablet would be GREAT since its MORE mobile.
THAT ALONE would have helped for me since I dont see myselves buying magazine subs(except maybe National Geographic or similar) and even if I did I think I could read it on the 7 inch screen
So, it seems I may have made a mistake buying an iPad. I should have either bought a kindle(since I read extensively) or I should have bought a 7 inch tablet since its more mobile and has more access to content (if its Android based especially)
Any thoughts?
What I am saying is – a device which would be smaller and more compact would be more mobile and that alone would have helped since I genuinely see a space for a 'tablet' if I can carry it!!

With the conclusion of Pawn, Kitty, posing as Lila Hart, had just killed Augusta Hart and found out that Daxton Hart, the Prime Minister, had been Masked just like she had. He was not the real Daxton Hart; he was an imposter. With the political upheaval and Daxton's imperial power, Kitty is supposed to be acting under Knox's orders like carefree Lila. However, we all know Kitty can't possibly following directions when they're given. Knox, for good or ill, tries to take care of things while leaving Kitty to be a symbol, but Kitty wants her own responsibilities and respect. Fearing her own identity has been compromised and needing leverage to use to convince Knox and the Blackcoats, she sneaks into Daxton's quarters to find the information on his true identity as well as her own. The plan being exposing his true nature would free the kingdom from under the Hart iron fist. Instead, she is easily captured and sent to a special area of Elsewhere watched by a married couple, the Mercers, who run the sector with mortal threat. The "citizens" of the sector are heavily guarded and play certain roles, knowing the consequences of disobeying are only cage fighting or immediate death. Kitty can't process her new surroundings and constantly tries to buck the rules, causing new friends and acquaintances to be murdered. Then, a chapter of the rebellion in the sector brings her in and gives her a task: get security codes from the Mercers to prove her value. With everyone's lives at stake and not just her own, Kitty must succeed or the country has no hope of overthrowing the power of Daxton Hart.
I will certainly say that I like the ending much better this time. Since reading the first novel, much of the plot and characterization comes across as forced. Kitty is so boring and stupidly predictable that it's almost ludicrous that she isn't already dead, what with constantly disobeying every order given to her even when she must be smart enough to do otherwise. She should be dead at least 10x over! It could be a drinking game for every time Kitty does something undeniably asinine, especially for an 18 year old. There's the rub.
Still, there was still no love for Benjy and Kitty's relationship or, come to think of it, Kitty herself. What I liked best about this book is the Sector and the twists of fate that pulled Kitty through, oh say, about half into the book. A few interesting secrets were revealed, so I'll probably read the next. May not want to blog it though.
Maybe middle grade suitable, except for the torture and violence.

Narrowleaf Stoneseed, Hoary Puccoon, Fringed Gromwell ~ Lithospermum incisum Plant Care Guide
Family Boraginaceae
Lithospermum incisum Lehm. fringed puccoon, narrow-leaved gromwell, narrow-leaved puccoon
Lithospermum: from Greek lithos, "stone," and sperma, "seed"incisum: cut
Plant: erect, perennial, 4″-20″ tall forb with many branches; woody taproot Flower: pale yellow, 5-parted, 1/3″-3/4″ wide, funnel-shaped, petal lips fringed; inflorescence with short-stalked flowers crowded in the upper leaf axils; blooms May-June
Fruit: white, shiny nutlet with a few pits many, long, narrow, grass-like
Habitat: dry; prairies, barrens; in rocky, sandy soil
Hoary Puccoon
Lithospermum canescens
Boraginaceae (Borage family)
Description: This native perennial plant is about ½-1½' tall, branching occasionally. It has a tendency to sprawl across the ground. The stems are covered with long white hairs. The leaves have sparse white hairs on their uppersides, ciliate hairs along their margins, and a white pubescence on their undersides. These characteristics give the plant a slightly hoary aspect, hence its name. The alternate leaves are about 1-2″ long and ¼-¾" wide, with a prominent central vein, and absence of serration along the margins. They are oblong or oblanceolate, with rounded tips, and are sessile at the base.
The flowers occur in showy clusters at the ends of major stems. They are bright yellow or yellowish orange, narrowly tubular, with 5 rounded lobes that flare abruptly outward. Each flower is about ½" across and has no noticeable floral scent. The blooming period occurs during late spring and lasts about a month. The root system consists of a central taproot.
Cultivation: The preference is full-sun in mesic to dry conditions. The soil can contain significant amounts of loam, gravel, or sand. It has a reputation of being difficult to germinate from seed. Nonetheless, this puccoon is probably the easiest to grow in the average wildflower garden if transplants can be obtained.
Range & Habitat: Hoary Puccoon occurs throughout Illinois, except in some SE areas of the state (see Distribution Map). This plant is found occasionally in high quality habitats, such as virgin prairie remnants, otherwise it is rare or absent. Habitats include mesic to dry black soil prairies, sand prairies, hill prairies, Bur Oak savannas, sandy Black Oak savannas, and limestone glades. This is the most common Lithospermum sp. in Illinois.
Faunal Associations: The flowers attract long-tongued bees, butterflies, and skippers primarily. Among the bees, are such visitors as bumblebees, Miner bees, Nomadine Cuckoo bees, and Mason bees. Some spring-season bee flies visit the flowers, including Bombylius major (Giant Bee Fly). Among the skippers, Erynnis spp. (Duskywings) and Pholisora catyllus (Common Sootywing) are attracted to the yellow flowers of this plant. There is little information available regarding Hoary Puccoon's relation to birds and mammals. Because the leaves are not known to be toxic, it seems likely that they are eaten by such animals as groundhogs and rabbits.
Photographic Location: The photographs were taken at Loda Cemetery Prairie in Iroquois County, Illinois.
Comments: The flowers are really bright and conspicuous, but remain on the plant for some time even after they turn brown. The word 'puccoon' means that this plant was once the source of a dye – a reddish color that was used by Amerindians for pottery, basketry, and personal ornament in various ceremonies.

The Uber is Here: Defining Employee Status/
"They started off by operating illegally, without following any of the regulations and unfairly competing. And that's how they became big—they had enough money to ignore all the rules." -Barry Korengold, president of the San Francisco Cab Drivers Association[1]
* * * * *
In today's fast-paced, technologically savvy world, smartphones rule the way we conduct our daily lives. So when San Francisco-based company, Uber, created an app that allows a person to request transportation from their smartphone, it did not take long for the company to become wildly popular and successful.
Here's how it works: according to Uber's website, once a user requests a ride, the app finds the users location through the phone's GPS system, and once it receives a ride request it dispatches the request to a respective Uber driver who takes the app-user to his or her requested destination.[2] While Uber basically operates as a taxi service to its passengers, the main difference is that Uber drivers drive their own cars and can be anyone who passes the required background checks.[3]
Company Growth
In 2010, Uber gave its first rides in San Francisco, but by the end of 2011, the company had spread to major cities across the United States and even extending internationally to Paris.[4] By the end of 2015, Uber's services expanded so vastly, reaching all types of transportation needs and operating in countries all around the world.[5] Not only were Uber drivers replacing traditional taxi cabs, but Uber's services included bicycle delivery, carpooling, moving and delivering, and on-demand food delivery.[6] With all the explosive success, what could go wrong?
The Lawsuit
In 2013, tensions arose between Uber and its drivers.[7] A lawsuit was originally brought in California by four Uber drivers from the San Francisco area "who wanted the company to reimburse them for their business expenses. Uber claims it's not required to pay for things like gas, insurance, and car-maintenance since drivers are not employees, but rather independent contractors."[8] What started as a lawsuit between the four drivers and Uber quickly expanded to a class action suit that involved over 160,000 drivers in the state of California.[9] "Plaintiffs contend that they and all 160,000 putative class members are Uber's employees, as opposed to its independent contractors, and thus are eligible for various protections codified for employees in the California Labor Code."[10] While the court ruled that Uber drivers can bring this action against Uber as a class, trial is set for June 2016 for a jury to decide whether these drivers are employees, as the plaintiffs argue, or independent contractors, as Uber argues.[11]
Employee or Contractor?
This case turns on one crucial classification – are the drivers employees or independent contractors under California's common-law test of employment.[12] When the court applied this test "at the summary judgment stage, the Court determined that because Uber drivers 'render service to Uber,' they are Uber's presumptive employees as a matter of law . . . although the ultimate question of their employment status will need to be decided by a jury."[13]
In order to determine whether these drivers are employees, the court looked to the opinion in Borello, which "'enumerated a number of indicia of an employment relationship.' The 'most significant consideration' is the putative employer's 'right to control work details.'"[14] "Uber attempted to characterize its business as a 'lead generation' platform, claiming it doesn't have control over how its drivers provide services."[15] However, Uber drivers have argued that the reality is quite to the contrary. The drivers argue "that they have no say in how much Uber charges riders [and] . . . . [d]rivers are prohibited from making their own deals with riders or from undertaking any direct or indirect solicitations of business. Uber also conducts background checks, interviews, and preengagement tests of their knowledge and submits drivers to a detailed ranking system."[16] Based on these facts, the drivers claim the company maintains control over their work.
While the facts and case are tending to lean in favor of the drivers, it will ultimately be up to the jury to decide the classification as employees or not. Additionally, while this case involves only the drivers of California, the outcome could spur litigation elsewhere and force companies involved in the "sharing economy" to rethink their business plans, and also Uber app users to rethink their mode of transportation.[17]

Wisconsin Loses Another 54 Dairy Farms in June07/16/2018
The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection reports that 54 Wisconsin dairy farms sold out in June. That's on top of the 78 that left the business in May.
Year-to-date, 338 dairy farms stopped milking cows. Still, USDA estimates that cow numbers are down just 1,000 head from January to May (the latest report available).
The year-to-day farm exits are running about 30% higher than the same January through June farm exits in 2017. Note: The June 2018 exit number of 54 farms is six fewer in June 2017.

If you're like most people, when you think of the dust at your job you're thinking about how you can avoid getting sick from breathing it in. It's not likely you're thinking that you could show up for work and lose your life in a dust explosion. But you could. In fact, combustible dust explosions resulting from poor housekeeping policies, and improper handling of combustible materials have led to millions of dollars in property damage, worker injuries, and yes…loss of life. So, what causes dust to explode?
First, let's start by understanding what causes any type of fire. According to OSHA all fires need three things, commonly referred to as "the fire triangle":
- Fuel to burn
- Oxygen
- Ignition source (heat, spark, etc.)
Consider a fireplace as an example. The wood is the fuel, the air surrounding the logs provides the oxygen, and the ignition source is the match you use to light the wood.
But for dust to explode two additional elements must be present and when they are that's referred to as "the dust pentagon"
- Dispersion of dust particles in the right concentration, and
- Confinement of the dust cloud.
Dispersion means the dust particles are suspended in air. Confinement means the dust is in an enclosed or limited space. This restriction allows pressure to build up, increasing the likelihood of an explosion.
What is Combustible Dust?
The vast majority of natural and synthetic organic materials, as well as some metals, can form combustible dust. The NFPA's Industrial Fire Hazards Handbook states, "any industrial process that reduces a combustible material and some normally noncombustible materials to a finely divided state presents a potential for a serious fire or explosion."
Things you would not think would explode do. Combustible dust can be formed by any fine material when mixed with air. For a detailed list of materials see our guide 101 Things That Explode.
According to OSHA, some materials that are not combustible on their own become explosive if the particles are the right size and in the right concentration. Therefore we suggest you evaluate your process to determine if your facility is at risk. If you need help with this process please feel free to give us a call.
Where Does Combustible Dust Gather?
Dust can collect on surfaces such as rafters, roofs, suspended ceilings, ducts, crevices, dust collectors, and other equipment. When the dust is disturbed and under certain circumstances, there is the potential for a serious explosion to occur. The build-up of even a very small amount of dust can cause serious damage.
What Industries Are at Risk?
The short answer to the question is…lots. The long answer is combustible dust explosion hazards exist in a variety of industries, including:
- Agriculture
- Chemicals
- Food (e.g., candy, sugar, spice, starch, flour, feed)
- Grain elevators, bins and silos
- Fertilizer
- Tobacco
- Plastics
- Woodworking facilities
- Furniture
- Paper
- Tire and rubber manufacturing
- Textiles
- Pharmaceuticals
- Metal powder processing or storage (especially magnesium and aluminum)
Checkout this video of our combustible dust removal service performed at Viking Yacht Company.
Dusts are created when materials are transported, handled, processed, polished, ground and shaped. Dusts are also created by abrasive blasting, cutting, crushing, mixing, sifting or screening dry materials. The buildup of dried residue from the processing of wet materials can also generate dusts. Essentially, any workplace that generates dust is potentially at risk.
Please give us a call if you have further questions about your facility.

CONTENT NEGOTIATION and basic AUTHENTICATION IN WEB API
One of the features of the RESTful service is that, the client has the ability to decide in which format they want the response - XML, JSON etc. A request that is sent to the server includes an Accept header. Using the Accept header the client can specify the format for the response. For example
Accept: application/xml returns XML
Accept: application/json returns JSON
Depending on the Accept header value in the request, the server sends the response. This is called Content Negotiation.
So what happens client request for data in a specific format
The Web API controller generates the data that we want to send to the client. For example, if you have asked for list of User Expense. The controller generates the list of User Expense, and hands the data to the Web API pipeline which then looks at the Accept header and depending on the format that the client has requested, Web API will choose the appropriate formatter. For example, if the client has requested for XML data, Web API uses XML formatter. If the client has requested for JSON data, Web API uses JSON formatter. These formatters are called Media type formatters.
ASP.NET Web API is greatly extensible i.e. we can also plugin our own formatters, for custom formatting the data.
Let us see how the request is sending to the Web Api and get the data in JSON format: Please download the Fidler from the below link : https://www.telerik.com/download/fiddler/fiddler4
Then click on the execute button:
Now Get data in the XML format: First make the request in header as content-type to application/XML
Below is the data return after executing above request which is in XML:

Sweet Potatoes!
Here below, another addition from America's Test Kitchen and NPR. Note how it does not violate any of my rules from the post before this one (except I don't own a potato masher). Plus, I love sweet potatoes and could eat them everyday. However, I'm going to cut my butter into FIVE pieces….I KNOW! I'm so craaaaaazzzyy!
And, because I can already hear a certain someone pointing out that this recipe has 8 ingredients….fuck no am I zesting an orange, so there's only 7.
Mashed Sweet Potatoes – 'Test Kitchen' Recipe
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon table salt
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 2 large or 3 medium-small potatoes), peeled, quartered lengthwise, and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
- pinch ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
Cutting the sweet potatoes into slices of even thickness is important in getting them to cook at the same rate. A potato masher will yield slightly lumpy sweet potatoes; a food mill will make a perfectly smooth puree. The potatoes are best served immediately, but they can be covered tightly with plastic wrap and kept relatively hot for 30 minutes. This recipe can be doubled in a Dutch oven; the cooking time will need to be doubled as well.
1. Combine butter, cream, salt, sugar, and sweet potatoes in 3 to 4 quart saucepan; cook, covered, over low heat, stirring occasionally, until potatoes fall apart when poked with fork, 35 to 45 minutes.
2. Off heat, mash sweet potatoes in saucepan with potato masher, or transfer mixture to hopper of food mill and process into warmed serving bowl. Stir in pepper, maple syrup, and orange zest; serve immediately.
