List of common questions with relative answers and resources
One of the most complete resources about Monero. If you have a question which is not in this FAQ, you will likely find the answer on the Monero StackExchange.
A collection of documents to help users interact with the Monero network and its components.
Guides and resources for developers.
The subreddit dedicated to help monero users. Basically community members helping each others. Use the search option.
Old and known resources with a good number of guides and howto's
The terminology used in Monero can be quite complex, for this reason we have the Moneropedia. A comprehensive list of terms that you often see and their explanation. If you don't know what a word means or you would like to have more info about it, just visit the Moneropedia. Some example of often searched terms are: node, fungibility, view key, pruning.
Monero is an open source community project. Meaning that there is no company who runs it and there is no CEO who hires people. Everything is built by volunteers or community-funded contributors who dedicate their time to the project. There are many ways to contribute:
Translations. It's easy and anybody speaking a language beside English can help. Translations happen mostly on Weblate.
Contact a Workgroup. Almost everything in Monero is managed by workgroups, which are groups of contributors (often lead by a coordinator) working on some specific aspect of the development. Some examples are: the localization workgroup (translations), the community workgroup, the GUI workgroup, the Outreach workgroup and so on. Workgroups are mostly independent and have their own structure. Contact the workgroup that interests you and ask how you can help. For a list of contacts see the Hangouts.
Do what you can do best. Are you a designer? Create Monero related images and spread them around. Are you a writer? Write about Monero. The only limit is your imagination. Find what you like to do and do it for Monero!
The Outreach workgroup wrote a useful article to help newcomers: Getting started with Monero.

In past, you needed Bitcoin to buy Monero, but that's not the case anymore. You can directly trade Monero for national currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, etc) or other cryptocurrencies on many exchanges. Some require KYC (proof of identification); others do not, like decentralized exchanges. On this website is available a list of exchanges where it's possible to buy/sell Monero (XMR): 商家 & 服務.

門羅幣使用三種不同的技術來保護隱私:環狀簽名、環簽保密交易 (RingCT) 與隱匿性地址。這些技術可以隱藏發送者與接收者在交易中的資訊。所有的交易在網路上都是強制保護的,你無法意外地發送一筆透明的交易,這是門羅幣獨特的功能,你不需要信任任何人來保護你的隱私。
More Info: 關於門羅幣
門羅幣並不是基於比特幣所開發,它是基於 CryptoNote 協定所開發。比特幣是完全透明的系統,人們可以完整看見資金與金額是如何從一個使用者發送至另一個使用者。門羅幣在所有交易中都對這些隱私資訊提供了保護。它也擁有動態區塊與手續費系統、抵抗 ASIC 礦機的工作量證明 (proof of work) 演算法、尾發行與一些其他的改變。
貨幣替代性 (Fungibility) 是錢幣的基本特性,代表兩個相同單位的錢幣之間沒有差異。如果兩個人交換了一個 10 與兩個 5,沒有人會有所損失。但是,若假設所有人都知道那筆 10 曾被用在一場勒索軟體的攻擊事件中,那其他人還會願意接受這筆交易嗎?很可能不會。即使該持有者與該勒索攻擊事件無關。這就產生了一個問題,接收錢幣的那方將必須持續檢查是否不小心收到了贓款。門羅幣是滿足貨幣替代性的,因此人們再也不需要擔心這個問題。
沒有所謂的百分之百匿名。 正常情況下,門羅幣能提供的匿名程度就是相對於不使用門羅幣能提供的保護程度。門羅幣也有可能出現 bug,即使沒有,還是有可能存在著一些在門羅幣使用中推測出些許隱私資訊的方法,不論是現在或未來,對隱私的的攻擊力道只會越來越強。舉例來說,即使你有繫安全帶還是有可能在車禍中重傷致死。請使用常識思考,謹慎面對威脅並作出一定程度的防禦。
After you have downloaded the Monero software (GUI and CLI alike), your antivirus or firewall may flag the executables as malware. Some antiviruses only warn you about the possible menace, others go as far as silently removing your downloaded wallet / daemon. This likely happens because of the integrated miner, which is used for mining and for block verification. Some antiviruses may erroneously consider the miner as dangerous software and act to remove it.
The problem is being discussed and solutions are being elaborated. In the meantime, if you get a warning from your antivirus, make sure the software you downloaded is legitimate (see the guides linked below), then add an exception for it in your antivirus, so that it won't get removed or blocked. If you need assistance, feel free to contact the community.

Monero is an Esperanto word which means 'coin'. Initially Monero was called 'Bitmonero', which translates to 'Bitcoin' in Esperanto. After the community decided to fork from the original maintainer, 'bit' was dropped in favour of simply 'Monero'.
在門羅幣中,每一筆交易輸出都會帶有一個金鑰映像 (key image),每個映像只能被該筆交易輸出組合所產生。重複出現的金鑰映像將會使得該筆交易被礦工視為雙重花費 (double-spends) 而拒絕加入區塊中,當每筆新的交易出現時,礦工將會驗證其金鑰映像不得出現在先前的交易中以確保該筆交易不是雙重花費。
即使在交易中的金額是被加密隱藏 (僅有接收方能得知交易金額),我們也可以驗證每筆交易金額是否有效,因為金額是透過 Pedersen commitments 進行加密表示,意思是沒有外部觀察者可以得知交易輸入與輸出的金額,但是他們可以透過計算 Pedersen commitments 以確認沒有門羅幣是被無中生有的產生。
只要加密後的輸出金額相等於輸入金額總和 (包括發送給接收者的輸出、回到自己錢包的找零輸出、未加密的交易手續費),那你就可以確認這是一筆有效的交易,沒有門羅幣在這之中被無中生有,Pedersen commitments 使得金額總和可以被驗證是否相等,但每筆交易輸出個別的金額仍然得以維持在未知的狀態。

No. Monero uses a completely non-interactive, non-custodial, and automatic process to create private transactions. By contrast for mixing services, users opt-in to participate.
Yes, you can, but you probably shouldn't. Importing an external blockchain is very resource intensive and forces you to trust the entity providing you with the blockchain. It's usually faster to download it the normal way: running a node and letting it synchronize with the other nodes in the network. If you really need to import an external blockchain, you can download one in the 'Downloads' page of this website. Follow the guide below if you are using Windows. If you are a linux user, you can use the tool "monero-blockchain-import", which is included in the archive when you download the GUI or CLI wallets. Start syncing the imported blockchain with this command: "monero-blockchain-import --input-file blockchain.raw".

You probably didn't. It's very hard to simply 'lose' your coins, since they are technically nowhere. Your coins 'live' on the blockchain and are linked to your account through a system of public and private keys secured by cryptography. That's why if you don't see your funds, it's probably because of a technical issue. Take a look at the 'Resources & Help' section at the top of this page for a list of useful resources that will help you identify and fix your problem.
Support for Tor is still in its infancies, but it's already possible to natively send transactions through the network and to run a Monero daemon on the Tor network. Better Tor and I2P integrations are in progress.

A full node requires a considerable amount of storage and could take a long time to download and verify the entire blockchain, especially on older hardware. If you have limited storage, a pruned node is recommended. It only stores 1/8th of unnecessary blockchain data while keeping the full transaction history. If plenty of storage is available, a full node is recommended but a pruned node still greatly contributes to the network and improves your privacy.
When you download the blockchain, you are downloading the entire history of the transactions that happened in the Monero network since it was created. The transactions and the related data are heavy and the entire history must be kept by every node to ensure it's the same for everybody. pruning a blockchain allows to run a node which keeps only 1/8 of not strictly necessary blockchain data. This results in a blockchain 2/3 smaller than a full one. Convenient for people with limited disk space. Check out the Moneropedia entries node and remote node for more details.
Yes. You don't need to download the blockchain to transact on the network. You can connect to a remote node, which stores the blockchain for you. All the most common wallets (including GUI and CLI) allow to use remote nodes to transact on the network. There are multiple ways to take advantage of this functionality. For example GUI and CLI offer a 'bootstrap node' feature, which allow people to download their own blockchain while using a remote node to immediately use the network. Ways to improve the usability of the Monero network are constantly being explored.
More Info: 如何讓 GUI 錢包連接至遠端節點
Because new transactions have been recorded on the blockchain from the last time you opened your wallet, which needs to scan all of them to make sure non of those transaction is yours. This process is not necessary in a mymonero-style (openmonero) wallet, a central server (which could be managed by you) does this work for you.
Running a personal node is the safest way to interact with the Monero network, because you are in full control and you don't need to rely on third parties. From a general point of view running a node is not dangerous, but keep in mind that your ISP can see you are running a Monero node.
It's always advisable, especially for privacy-conscious users, to use a personal node when transacting on the network to achieve the highest rate of privacy. Some people for convenience prefer to use remote node which are not under their control (public nodes). The convenience of not having to deal with a personal copy of the blockchain comes at a cost: lessened privacy. A remote node operator is able to see from what IP address a transaction comes from (even if cannot see the recipient nor the amount) and in some extreme cases, can make attacks able to reduce your privacy. Some dangers can be mitigated by using remote nodes on the Tor or I2P networks or using a VPN.

Jurassic World (2015)
Upon entering Jurassic World, it's hard not to share that same scared apprehension felt by Jeff Goldblum's Ian Malcolm when he stepped on to Isla Sorna at the start of The Lost World. After all, let's face it, the odds of Colin Trevorrow's long awaited forth sequel, to Steven Spielberg's game changing original, being any good were relatively low.
It's been 14 years since Joe Johnston's redundant, run-of-the-mill threequel confirmed what many of us had sadly suspected for sometime, that this was a series on the edge of extinction. A mindset understandably unaltered by many when they got their first glimpse of this new chapter, and discovered with horror that humans had somehow tamed the franchise's fiercest force, the Velociraptor. Bringing dinosaurs back from the dead was one thing, but it would take more than a miracle to breath new life in to this beast.
Thankfully though, just as Malcolm once prophesied, life has found a way. By taking the DNA of author Michael Crichton's original creation, splicing it with Spielbergian style, and filling in the gaps with threads of nostalgia & wonder, Trevorrow has finally created a sequel that, though not as strong, is a worthy successor to the unimpeachable first film.
It only takes five minutes for the sophomore director to assure us we're in safe hands. As we enter the park for the first time, John Williams' symbolic score starts to rise, building slowly as we catch glimpses of what lies within, before reaching an almighty crescendo as the doors are flung open to reveal a park that's fully functioning, and fantastically well realised. Like the late Richard Attenborough's John Hammond, this is something we've dreamed of seeing ever since we first journeyed through those iconic main gates back in '93, and the moment we're finally allowed to gaze upon it is an evocative & euphoric one.
The two tourists we're accompanying on this trip are teenager Zach (Nick Robinson) and his prepubescent brother Gray (Ty Simpkins), who happen to be the nephews of Jurassic World's operations manager Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard). However, while Zach & Gray are out enjoying the park's many attractions, Claire is at the mercy of a corporate mandate to bring in more revenue.
Enter the Indominus Rex, a powerful & predacious new GM hybrid that's been concocted in the Genetics Lab by Dr. Henry Wu (BD Wong, the only returning member of the original cast). Claire's hope is that by unveiling this deadly new dinosaur, visiting figures will rise. But all that is put into doubt after the Indominus manages to escape from its enclosure, and sets off on a murderous rampage across the park. To make matters worse for Claire, both of her nephews are unaccounted for, forcing her to head out into the World accompanied by hunky handyman Owen (Chris Pratt).
From the start its clear that Trevorrow is aware of the enormous footsteps he's following in. Unlike his debut, the perpetually patchy Safety Not Guaranteed, Jurassic World shows him to be a filmmaker who's able to compose himself with confidence. Just as Spielberg's was, Trevorrow's approach is admirably restrained. Instead of a gigantic, grandstanding opening, the story treads slowly to start with, allowing an enveloping sense of the dread to build before the full furious force of the park's prehistoric predators is unleashed.
Once all hell has broken loose though, Trevorrow makes sure that the pressure remains palpable. He handles the various set pieces with great aplomb, taking his cue, once more, from Spielberg in order to ensure that each sequence is both terrifically tense and teasingly terrifying. The Indominus' escape bracingly brings to mind the tremendous T-Rex reveal from the from the first film, while a later scene that sees a pack of Velociraptors perusing their prey conjures menacing memories of the Raptors in the long grass segment from the sequel.
Naturally, much of the film's heightened fear factor comes from the carnivorous creatures themselves. Early on Claire claims that "no one's impressed by dinosaurs anymore", but she couldn't be further from the truth. Seamlessly blending a mix of flawless CGI with practical effects, Trevorrow & the SFX team at ILM have created a remarkably well-rendered set of specimens. Don't be fooled by the trailer, the Raptors remain viciously versatile, and the sight of an approaching T-Rex is still enough to test your bladder's capabilities. But the undisputed queen of the jungle this time round is the Indominus Rex herself, a chillingly cold and calculating killing machine that immediately captures the imagination in a nightmarish way.
If Gareth Edwards' ropey Godzilla reboot taught us anything though, it's that you also need a set of engaging central characters to anchor the situational jeopardy. And thankfully, Trevorrow has learned from Edwards' mistake. Though they may be archetypes, these are people with personalities. Chris Pratt's Owen oozes charismatic charm. But crucially, he also shares a strong chemistry with Bryce Dallas Howard, who herself does a sterling job with a convincing arc that sees Claire gradually develop from a bitchy businesswoman into someone tougher as the crisis worsens.
The true revelation here though, is Trevorrow himself. Throughout, he maintains a balance between thrills & chills whilst also sustaining a solid level of humour, much of which is wryly self-reflexive & comes from Jake Johnson's control room operator Lowery.
Perhaps inevitably, Jurassic World does fail to match the monolithic magnificence of Jurassic Park. Though there some interesting thematic ideas in play here, the evolutionary argument once again resurfaces, the script lacks the cohesion & intelligence necessary to stop them from getting lost in amongst the constant bombardment of chaos.
What Jurassic World lacks in smarts though, it makes up for in pure spectacle. This is summer blockbuster entertainment of the highest calibre. It has taken 14 years to get to Jurassic World, but it's been well worth the wait.

A court in Cambodia sentenced Australian filmmaker James Ricketson to six years in prison for espionage Friday, prompting rights groups to slam the verdict as representative of a judicial system widely seen as beholden to Prime Minister Hun Sen's government.
Ricketson, 69, was arrested in June last year after flying a drone over a rally by the main opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP), which was dissolved by the Supreme Court in November over an alleged plot to overthrow the government, clearing the way for Hun Sen's ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) to sweep all 125 parliamentary seats up for grabs in a general election last month.
Judge Seng Leang of the Phnom Penh Municipal Court found Ricketson guilty on two charges of espionage and ordered him to spend six years in jail, without providing details about which country he had been convicted of spying for. The filmmaker had faced up to 10 years in prison for the charges.
"We have decided to convict to six years in prison for espionage and collecting harmful information that could affect national defense," the judge said at the conclusion of the six-day trial.
Speaking to reporters after the verdict, Ricketson's lawyer Kong Sam Onn told RFA's Khmer Service there was "little evidence" presented by prosecutors at his client's trial.
"The court has failed to prove that my client is a spy or that he has collected any information that harms national defense," he said.
Kong Sam Onn expressed hope that Cambodia's King Norodom Sihamoni might grant Ricketson a royal pardon, noting that his work had benefitted the country's poor. His client's health has suffered in detention, he added.
Hun Sen, who secured another five-year term to add to his 33 years in office after official results of the July 29 election were announced on Aug. 15, has made a practice of heavy-handed crackdowns on his critics in the lead up to ballots, followed by a relaxation of restrictions after facing international condemnation.
The U.S. recently announced an expansion of visa bans on individuals seen as limiting democracy in the country, as part of a series of "concrete steps" aimed at pressuring Cambodia to "reverse course" that included a decision to withdraw funding for last month's elections.
The European Union, which was the second biggest trade partner of Cambodia in 2017, also withdrew support ahead of the ballot and is currently reviewing a preferential trade scheme for Cambodian exports based on the country's election environment.
On Tuesday, King Sihamoni granted a royal pardon at Hun Sen's behest to 14 jailed CNRP activists who were serving long sentences for "insurrection" in connection with anti-government street protests in 2014 that turned into violent clashes with police and security forces.
Their release followed the freeing by royal decree earlier this month of Tep Vanny—a prominent land activist—and three other campaigners convicted for their roles in a protest over a land grab, as well as the granting of bail to two former RFA reporters who are facing charges of "espionage."
Social commentator Kim Sok was also freed in August after completing an 18-month sentence for defamation related to his suggestion that the CPP orchestrated the July 2016 murder of popular political pundit Kem Ley, although he still faces another defamation charge following a complaint filed by Hun Sen in January.
All of those freed were detained on what are widely seen as politically motivated charges brought by prosecutors at Hun Sen's bidding, and amid a far-reaching crackdown on the political opposition, NGOs and the independent media.
Verdict 'predetermined'
Rights groups dismissed the court ruling outright on Friday.
Am Sam Ath, the head of investigations for local rights group Licadho, told RFA that there was "insufficient evidence presented in the court relating to the alleged espionage charges" against Ricketson, adding that the judge was unable to answer when the filmmaker demanded to know which country he was being accused of collecting information for.
Soeng Sen Karona, senior investigator for local rights group Adhoc, also questioned why Ricketson's alleged paymasters were not named.
"On top of that, the evidence presented by the prosecution did not pass the test of reasonable doubt," he said.
Phil Robertson, deputy Asia director of New York-based Human Rights Watch, unleashed some of the most damning criticism of Friday's verdict, calling it the decision of a kangaroo court that acts according to Hun Sen's whims.
"This trial exposed everything that's wrong with the Cambodian judicial system: ridiculously excessive charges, prosecutors with little or no evidence, and judges carrying out political orders from the government rather than ruling based on what happens in court," he said in a statement.
"From day one, James Ricketson has been a scapegoat in Hun Sen's false narrative of a so-called 'color revolution' used as an excuse to crack down on the political opposition and civil society critics."
Robertson also slammed Australia's government for "let[ting] Cambodia walk all over them" by failing to consistently challenge the case and demand Ricketson's immediate and unconditional release. He suggested that Canberra's soft approach to dictators like Hun Sen in Southeast Asia is both "morally bankrupt" and "totally ineffective."
"Cambodia judicial realities indicate this guilty verdict was politically predetermined and the only way to counter that is with a staunch public defense, not deference to a judicial system that is politically captured," Robertson said.
He likened politically motivated cases like Ricketson's in Cambodia—a democratic nation in name—to those in Vietnam and North Korea, which are ruled by authoritarian governments that directly issue verdicts through their countries' courts.
Robertson called on Cambodia to "stop tormenting Ricketson and his family," immediately and unconditionally release the filmmaker, and reverse his conviction.
While on an official visit to Indonesia, Australia's new Prime Minister Scott Morrison told reporters after Friday's trial that his government will provide support to Ricketson, but urged patience.
"As usual in these types of events it is best to deal with these things calmly and directly and in a way which best assists a citizen," he said.

Did a Trump Tweet Just Doom the Stock Market?
No one is watching the tape closer than Donald Trump.
The president loves to remind everyone when the major averages are spiking to new all-time highs. He can't help but tell us how his administration has improved our pathetic lives at every 1,000-point Dow milestone. Stocks are unstoppable, he says. America is winning again!
So we weren't surprised to see the president celebrate the passing of the Republican tax bill in style early Monday morning…
As luck would have it, trading started with a bang. But the stock market's big move fizzled as the day wore on. By the closing bell, only the Dow remained positive. The S&P 500 finished the day just barely in the red. But the Nasdaq rolled over, dropping more than 1% to begin the trading week.
So much for the stock market's big day…
Wall Street's tech darlings have finally found some sellers. We are seeing the continuation of the FAANG bloodbath with more weakness from the market's most recognizable stocks. Facebook and Amazon each dropped more than 2% to start the week. The semiconductors took the brunt of the damage. The VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:SMH) dropped more than 2% while industry leader NVIDIA Corp. cratered almost 6% on the day.
Tech stocks have led the market higher all year. But did Trump's cocky tweet just doom the strongest sector of 2017?
Let's break it down…
Big tech's mammoth gains and the market's notable lack of volatility have lulled many investors to sleep. But the post-Thanksgiving jolt has been a slap in the face. It's a painful reminder that stocks (even your favorite tech names) can't rocket higher every single day without encountering some pullbacks and corrections along the way.
You can see how easy it is to view this big tech beat-down as a scary and potentially bearish event for the entire market.
Don't fall into this trap!
Even factoring in the recent drop, Facebook, Amazon, and even the semiconductors are still sitting on impressive year-to-date gains. No matter which way you slice it, these stocks aren't in trouble yet. Long-term shareholders might be a little miffed — but they certainly aren't scared.
Let's not forget tech's summer swoon. Most traders are so focused on the daily action that they forget about the 10% slide the semiconductors endured back in June. Or Amazon's 8% flash-crash when the stock first flirted with $1,000 almost six months ago.
If these corrective moves we're seeing right now persist, it could be time for this winner-take-all market to share some of its spoils. In fact, we're already seeing the start of some good ol' fashioned market rotation.
Remember, a healthy bull market is like a relay race. When market leading industries and sectors become overextended, traders will move on to the next hot group of stocks. That's what's happening right now. Some of the market's forgotten groups are finally getting some love while the biggest winners of the year endure some downside action. Nothing wrong with that…
Last week, we showed you two sectors that are taking the baton and sprinting into the lead. The Dow Jones Transportation Average just went on a three-day romp fit for the history books. The group posted a massive three-day gain of more than 7% to close out November trading. It extended its gains to begin the new trading week.
The retail sector is also on a tear. The SPDR S&P Retail ETF (NYSE:XRT) just jumped to new 2017 highs yesterday. With Wall Street' focus on Amazon and the growth of E-commerce, most folks didn't see this breakout coming.
It's clear where the hot money is flowing. Tech might be slumping right now — but there are still plenty of strong trades left to hand us double-digit gains.

Fabula has a unique and colourful desire to tell stories through illustrations, moving images, objects and text. They vary in stage exhibitions, workshops, readings and performances.
Fabula Collective are a multi disciplinary collective which began from the MA sequential Design/ Illustration and MA arts and design run by independent project courses at University of Brighton. Since their exhibition in December they have had high positive research, including endorsement of Children's Laureate, Chris Riddell who handmade a poster for the show (officially made by Hove Museum)
The Story Cabinet is a piece of work that is a collaboration between seven of them. They are currently working on a response to the publics contributions that they put in a 'wish box' that has been located near to The Story Cabinet. People have wished for all sorts of things!
'We really want to connect with our audience. We're excited by the idea of the public responding to our show and joining in! We hope lots of people will come to see this lovely museum too and that when they draw the exhibits it will make their visit extra memorable – not to mention the chance to be in two exhibitions and a prize draw!'
They would like to welcome children to join them at Hove Museum for their Fabula Fun Day, Saturday 29th April. The event will be running from 12:00 – 4:30pm.
Throughout April they will also be running a drop in, of which you can draw your own pictures and display them in frames designed by Fabula artists. Your pictures will then be displayed on the Instagram gallery. Drop in to the fun day and see your drawings exhibited in the museum. There are many fun activities to embrace upon, take part in the treasure trail, prize draw and an arty-crafty workshop. You will also be able to handle museum objects for them with sticky fingers.
Fabula believes that drawings and objects are a way of expressing and a way of memorabilia. They would like to create stories from your own drawings you design, you don't even have to be good at it – this is for everyone of all ages! During the opening hours they ask for you to find an object in the museum and draw it to your own content.
So join the fun, get inspired and most of all get creative.

A FORMER hospital porter became obsessed with a waitress he met at a cafe, Mold Crown Court heard.
Raymond Price, 61, started sending her letters which she found frightening and threatening.
He made a threat to rape her and subject her to extreme sexual violence – saying other men would hold her down while he had sex with her.
Price, who worked as a porter at the Countess of Chester Hospital for 27 years, wrote that if she told anyone about the letters then she would 'come off worse'.
But the victim told police and forensic tests on the letters led police to arrest Price, who admitted what he had done.
The defendant, of Sandy Lane in Saltney, admitted a harassment charge and Judge Niclas Parry told him it was a very serious case.
"It was repeated and it involved threats of extreme sexual violence," the judge told him.
Judge Parry said that it was a disturbing case and told Price: "You clearly have an unhealthy interest in women.
"I consider that you do pose a risk to women that needs to be addressed."
The court heard Price was a man of previous good character who was lonely after the death of his wife and suffering from mental health issues.
The judge imposed a 52-week prison sentence, suspended for two years.
The judge also made a restraining order that Price is not to approach the victim, he is not to go within 100m of where she works or enter Llangollen.
Elizabeth Bell, prosecuting, told how the victim received four letters between March 10 and March 29 in which threats to rape her were made.
Gareth Roberts, defending, said Price admitted straight away that he had sent the repulsive and threatening letters to an entirely innocent lady.
"He knows he has caused her distress, embarrassment and fear," he said.
The court heard Price lost his hospital job about eight years ago.
A couple of years after that his wife died and he had suffered from depression.
"Since then he has been a rather vulnerable and lonely man with few friends," said Mr Roberts.
He added: "My client is extremely sorry for what he has done. He understands the consequences of his actions upon her. He is someone who needs help.
"He will never act in this way again."

Amid the ruckus surrounding the Australian women's 4x100m freestyle relay world record and teen Taylor Ruck's monster 200m freestyle Canadian national mark was the triumphant return of Maddie Groves.
The 22-year-old 200m butterfly Olympic silver medalist has had a rough year, having had to contest a potential suspension from competition due to missing 3 doping tests over a 12-month period, as well as having undergone surgery for endometriosis.
Although Groves competed at the Australian Commonwealth Trials last month, she was still in the 'getting back in the groove mode', that is until tonight in the Gold Coast where she hammered home a monster 100m butterfly. After scoring a prelims top seed with her morning effort of 57.77, the only morning swimmer under 58 seconds, the Griffith University athlete powered to a semi-final clocking of 57.22. That's Groves' 2nd fastest time ever and lowers the Games Record of 57.40, which was the gold medal-winnig time of Canada's Katerine Savard back in 2014.
Groves will still need to hold off teammate Emma McKeon, Canada's Rebecca Smith and others in tomorrow night's final; but the fact that she is already over a second faster than the 58.45 produced at the Aussie Trials just a month ago is a very good sign the Maddie Groves of old is back.

Harry Bosch might be facing retirement—DROP stands for Deferred Retirement Option Plan—but there's still a lot of evil for him to bring to justice. The story opens with him being assigned to an Open-Unsolved case that gets a hit when old DNA evidence—a drop of blood—is run through the database. What should be a nice break instead complicates things, since the match is for someone who couldn't have committed the rape/murder twenty-two years ago, which calls into question the lab's entire evidence-handling process.
Before Bosch can make much progress, he gets a fresh case involving a jumper at the famed Chateau Marmont. This one is full of "high jingo"—internal politics—since the body belongs to the son of Irvin Irving, the former deputy chief of police and current councilman who hates Bosch and has long tried to derail his career. Did George Irving commit suicide, or did someone with a grudge against Irving père murder him? Bosch juggles both cases, while also working in dates with an attractive psychologist and spending time with his fifteen-year-old daughter, Maddie, who now lives with him full-time after the events in Nine Dragons. The work leads him to horrific places, revealing things that will change him forever.
That's one of the reasons I keep reading this series—Bosch changes, for better or worse. Some series authors hit the reset button as soon as one novel ends, with the next one showing no consequences from previous incidents. Connelly paints his detective more realistically. Bosch is dealing with advancing age, the cumulative effects of his years on the job, and being a single dad. This doesn't mean he's slathering on Ben-Gay or baking cookies with his kid. He's just questioning whether he's lost his edge to be a cop, if he should retire to be a full-time father. But how can he when there are still so many monsters to fight, so much more he must do to make the world a safer place for Maddie? It's a dilemma that's perfectly understandable, especially after what he encounters in this novel.
I had worried a teenager might cause unwelcome headaches in Bosch's life, but Maddie is evolving into a young woman who's sharp in thinking and shooting. Bosch has taught her how to use and respect guns, develop excellent observational skills, and she wants to follow in her father's career footsteps. It's a clever turn because if Harry does retire, it looks like there's another relentless Bosch waiting in the wings.

Trustees will consider applications for grants, loans, underwriting or other forms of financial support.
Previous organisations supported include:
SUSTAIN, which received a grant of £75,000 for a concerted three-year campaign, drawing on the support of many people and organisations to achieve changes in government policy and industry practice to create a million good jobs though better farming and land-use.
ECHO, a trading network of over 500 organisations in East London that uses time as the currency, rather than money. This project received a grant of £140,000 and aims to develop and refine the infrastructure for local, sustainable Echo systems at national scale.

SHIN, known as ex-ViViD vocalist, held his very first solo oneman performance on Christmas Eve! Here is a message and some live footage from that show!
Message from SHIN:
"I want time to stop.
It was a time that I thought like that from my heart.
Many thanks to everyone who couldn't come but supported me anyway.
This is the beginning of SHIN.
There are many scary things,
and there are many painful things but
when I think that from here on out there will be many days which are deeply moving like yesterday was, I feel as though I can overcome things no matter how painful they are.
I want time to stop.
I thought like that but
If time were to stop I'd never be able to advance further from before.
Beginning today, I'm moving one step at a time towards the day I can meet all of you again.
It's a promise.
It's okay.
We can meet soon.
Thank you so much for the beautiful flowers.
And, I just want to say over and over again.
Thank you for coming to meet SHIN."
"ODESSA, TX (December 26, 2016) – SHIN, formerly the vocalist of ViViD, held his first come-back performance in Tokyo at EX THEATER ROPPONGI on Christmas Eve. His first oneman show as a success, with tickets completely selling out. The venue was filled with fans who gathered at there to take in the experience. With the conclusion of this performance, his goods will be made available for mail order to fans all over the world.
Following SHIN's come-back show, he released a statement written in his own words. Since most of his social media hadn't been made public before the show, he hopes that he can convey what he thought after the performance.
For now, it hasn't been announced what type of activities SHIN will continue to do, but fans should definitely expect more news.

Quantum entanglement. Quantum entanglement happens when two systems—such as two particles—interact.
They develop correlations between their properties that are maintained even after they are separated by large distances in space. An observer measuring one system could perfectly predict the corresponding measurements of a second observer looking at the other system far, far away. An example of an interaction that generates entanglement is the decay of a particle into two other particles: Due to conservation of momentum, the decay products must be entangled in a state where their momenta are correlated.
If we measure the momentum of one particle, we know the momentum of the other. Albert Einstein disparaged the possibility of this prediction, calling it "spooky action at a distance," but Erwin Schrödinger, and later John Bell, recognized it as an essential feature of quantum mechanics. Entanglement isn't just a feature of esoteric experiments.
IDEAS. WEB. VIDEOS. Do Not Despise Your Inner World: Advice on a Full Life from Philosopher Martha Nussbaum. Gaia hypothesis. The study of planetary habitability is partly based upon extrapolation from knowledge of the Earth's conditions, as the Earth is the only planet currently known to harbour life The Gaia hypothesis, also known as Gaia theory or Gaia principle, proposes that organisms interact with their inorganic surroundings on Earth to form a self-regulating, complex system that contributes to maintaining the conditions for life on the planet.
Topics of interest include how the biosphere and the evolution of life forms affect the stability of global temperature, ocean salinity, oxygen in the atmosphere and other environmental variables that affect the habitability of Earth. Introduction[edit] Less accepted versions of the hypothesis claim that changes in the biosphere are brought about through the coordination of living organisms and maintain those conditions through homeostasis. In some versions of Gaia philosophy, all lifeforms are considered part of one single living planetary being called Gaia.

They enjoy the occasional pub time, conversation, and exploring Louisville while on a bike. Their membership is completely open to every type of person with any type of bike. Currently, members include people from downtown, Clifton area, and St. Matthews. All ages are welcome. In the summer months they ride 3-4 times a week. Members post when and what type of ride on their Facebook group site. The lengths of rides are from 10 miles to 20 miles with stops as needed.
Falls City Community Bikeworks is Louisville's community bike shop. This is a place to learn and do bike maintenance and repair. The shop has tools and parts, and volunteer bike experts will show you how to work on your own bike or on one of ours. FCCBikeWorks serves a two-part mission: providing the space, tools and expertise to any community member wishing to learn and practice bicycle maintenance; and channeling the donation of refurbished bicycles (and related equipment and skills) to Louisvillians in need of reliable transportation. The overriding goal is to make bicycling more affordable and widespread.
The Kentucky Wheelmen are dedicated to preserving and celebrating the history of the bicycle. "It is the goal of the Kentucky Wheelmen to bring back the glory days of early Kentucky cycling through the use of historic writings and research, recreations of the early cycle "runs", commemorations of long gone bicycle race tracks, celebrations of talented Kentucky cyclists who became national and international cycling stars, and emphasizing the importance of Kentucky's past as a National leader in cycling."
Black Girls Do Bike local Louisville Chapter advertises rides and events on their Facebook Page.

Graphic designers the world over probably groaned at the news that First Lady of the United States Melania Trump designed the logo for her new "Be Best" initiative, which New York Times journalist Julie Davis reports came about because the First Lady likes "clean lines" and "wanted something that would appeal to children."
The logo is part of a campaign aimed at "encouraging children to BE BEST in their individual paths, while also teaching them the importance of social, emotional, and physical health." Cue eye roll. Many people find it hard to imagine the FLOTUS spearheading a campaign about emotional and social health when her partner, the President of the United States, regularly disparages and humiliates people, while constantly lying about issues both major and minor (CNN recently reported that Donald Trump had lied more than 3,000 times in 466 days).
Let's remember that FLOTUS has an originality problem, so it seems only fitting that the Be Best pamphlet is an almost exact copy of a document published by the Federal Trade Commission in January 2014 — h/t @RMac18. Of course, this isn't the first time she's cribbed from the Obama administration, or event the second. Perhaps we'll soon discover that she copied this logo, too.
Everyone is an artist and designer nowadays, whether we like it or not, so it shouldn't be a surprise that Melania Trump has thrown her hat into the ring.
Tell us what you think about the FLOTUS's Be Best logo.

It Pays to Provide Customer Service via Twitter (Report)
Brands that respond to customer-service inquiries on Twitter benefit from doing so on several levels, according to a study conducted along with Applied Marketing Science.
Brands that respond to customer-service inquiries on Twitter benefit from doing so on several levels, according to a study the social network conducted along with Applied Marketing Science.
Key findings of the study included:
- Customers who receive responses when they tweet businesses are willing to spend 3 percent to 20 percent more on average-priced items from those businesses in the future.
- Customers who receive responses when they tweet businesses are 44 percent more likely to share those experiences, both online and offline, and 30 percent more likely to recommend those businesses.
- Customer satisfaction scores from customers who receive responses when they tweet businesses average one entire point hither, 2.66 compared with 3.66.
- Quick responses are key: When airlines responded to customers' tweets in less than six minutes, those customers were willing to pay nearly $20 more to fly with that airline on future trips. In the telecommunications industry, customer were willing to pay $17 per month more for phone plans when receiving replies within four minutes, but when that wait exceeds 20 minutes, the will only pay $3.50 more.
- 69 percent of respondents who posted negative tweets about businesses feel more favorable about those businesses when they receive replies. In the telecommunications industry specifically, conversations sparked by negative tweets resulted in three times more willingness to pay for monthly wireless plans than those that started with positive tweets.
- Aspect Research found that consumers perceive Twitter as "significantly less frustrating" than other customer-service channels , even preferring it slightly more than in-person interactions.
Wayne Huang of Twitter's research team added in a blog post:
If you need to discuss a private topic with a person who mentions your business in a tweet, reply with a direct message deep link so you can invite customers into private, one-to-one conversations. Make sure to acknowledge the person appropriately by being personal, friendly and human.
Learn and grow: Twitter's customer feedback tools let people privately share their opinions after a service interaction. Businesses can collect CSAT and NPS (net promoter score) data that can be compared across traditional service channels.
Set expectations about being responsive. Twitter has a new support indicator and message button, which allow businesses to help people understand when they can expect a response and to make sure they know they have the option to start a private conversation.
Consider prioritizing responses to negative tweets over positive tweets, but don't ignore customer praise. Any response helps increase in willingness to pay, so respond to every tweet that you can. By responding quickly to negative tweets, you can maximize your potential for impact.
Readers: What have your experiences been like when seeking customer support via Twitter?

Although it seems she has never left her country, she wanders daily through a miniature replica of the globe at the Beijing World Park.

Of course, the world reflected by today's biennials is no longer shaped by the modernist gaze of the rational, illuminated Crystal Palace of the first World's Fair, but is instead seen as an endlessly expanding multiverse.

text: NSide by Side by Sondheim | Stephen Sondheim is so far above good and beyond conventional that it's easy to see his musicals as pure art and forget their Broadway showmanship. This Theo Ubique Theatre Company version of a much-performed biographical revue supplies an entertaining reminder. Director Fred Anzevino goes in heavily for old-fashioned, hand-shimmying, boa-whipping ingratiation. Not that he ignores Sondheim's trademark ability to voice the subtle self-reflexiveness of the 20th-century urban sophisticate. But he clearly knows what his somewhat limited cast can handle, and it ain't angst. It's playful, pastiche-y bits like "You Gotta Have a Gimmick" from Gypsy. Welcome exceptions: Dana Tretta, of the big, resourceful eyes, and Danielle Brothers, who moves smoothly from butt wiggling to a strong "Send in the Clowns." --Tony Adler a Through 12/10: Fri-Sat 8 PM, Sun 7 PM, No Exit Cafe, 6970 N.

Oh, so I haven't been blogging as faithfully as I should or could. This doesn't mean that I haven't been working out! Most days I scribble notes on a pad and think, "If I blog soon I'll remember the details."
Uhm, and then I don't blog and, well, I forget the details. So there's that.
The following are a number of workouts, often not in chronological order, of just some of the workouts I've completed since I last blogged, you know, a month ago.
Strict ring dips
75# power snatches|
Strict HSPUs
I completed rounds of RD and PS in unbroken reps, but was doing single HSPUs by the end of the workout.
Time = 22:07
Parallette passthrough every 45 seconds for 55 rounds.
You know, because 55 reps for first workout. Whilst not overly challenging, I nonetheless was glad when I completed the last rep. A rep took about 5 or 6 seconds.
Every other minute, and with a minute to complete work (and a minute to rest, obviously)
Sprint 100m (50m out and back)
3 burpees
Cluster @ 135#
Increase weight of cluster until failure (w/ 3 attempts at any weight)
My goal was 155#, as my PR was 161#. Yup, was. I warmed up by completed 3 burpees & cluster with no sprint @ 95, 105, 115, 125, & 135#.
I completed clusters @ 140, 145, & 150. I failed @ 155 1st attempt (couldn't lock out elbows) and 2nd attempt (focused on push press and let elbows fall) but completed 3rd attempt. Yay! I then put 162# on bar, failed 1st attempt, but thankfully completed 2nd attempt. Yay and yay!
I completed all rounds with between 3 and 7 seconds to spare.
Bench press
I have no idea what I did or how much weight I pressed.
Mountain climbers (1 rep = l & r leg)
Fast, furious, and in unbroken reps.
Time – 4:34
10-20-30-40-50-40-30-20-10 unbroken double unders
Begin each round with 10c row
I set goal to complete row in 11 strokes, and am pleased to report that I did just that. I missed 27th rep of 40 reps of dus going down the ladder and, thus, had to start that round over. Dammit.
Time = 15:26.
32-round Tabata
American KBS, 53#
Medicine ball cleans
Holy shit that was tough. I completed 5 rounds + 18 reps. And nearly died.
Uhm, a workout that included power snatch, hang power clean, and hang power snatch, all with same hand position (i.e., neither wide nor narrow). It appears that I did 20 rounds (with burpees, maybe?) @ 65, 16 rounds @ 75, 11 rounds @ 95, and 3 rounds @ 105#. I can't recall how I came up with rep scheme.
I might have tried the Other Total. I think I did. Maybe. I recorded power clean @ 165, bench press @ 185, and overhead squat @ 125#. All weights low for whatever reason(s).
1 neg HSPU, 3″
3 C2B pull-ups
5 clapping pushups
7 jumping air squats
9 sit-ups
1 cluster (I don't know the weight)
I also don't know the rounds or time. Ha!
25 reps 10-count burpee + strict ring dips
25 reps 1-count burpee + Russian KBS, 70#
50 reps 8-count burpee + medicine ball clean
I can't read my own writing, so I don't know that time it took.
I do remember this workout, and it was tough. For example, rounds 11-15 consisted of 100m run, 10 sit-ups, air squats, & pushups, and 5 pull-ups. 'Twas quite an accumulation of reps.
Time = 39:20.
I recorded other workouts that I can't decipher. So there's that.
Other things of utmost importance to note:
I now like IPAs, but only hazy IPAs. Hazy means unfiltered. I'm also unfiltered.
I've been baking up a storm, and have even begun to create my own recipes. My favorite original recipe is lemon cupcakes with raspberry frosting. My favorite non-original recipe is orange creamsicle cupcakes. OMFG. I've also been making puff pastry, including Jeff's favorite, cream horns.
Whilst I don't like Autumn and I generally develop a slight malaise, I very much enjoy the sunflowers at The Biltmore.
Treating people fairly and treating people equally are not the same thing. I say this as a teacher and as an athlete. I am appalled at folks who are disappointed that CFHQ is going to allow trans athletes to compete in the gender category in which they identify. The comments are most often directed at biologically born males who identify as females. "It's an unfair advantages, as males are stronger than females!" "Trans females take male hormones, and those are PEDs!" Folks, most trans individuals have spent much of their lives at a disadvantage, often being made to attempt to act like the biological gender that they were born with. Is athletic prowess purely physical and not psychological? I would say not. Now imagine being born a biological woman who identifies as a man. And now imagine having to play on the "girls" team. Now imagine being born a biological man who identifies as a woman. Yup, and now imagine having to play on the "boys" team. The psychological disadvantages that many trans athletes have experienced, IMHO, far outweigh any perceived physical advantages you think or feel they may have. One last thing and then I'll be quiet for a while… There is no aspect of the CFG that is "fair" to every athlete competing. Lifting heavy weights? I'm 5'6″ and weight 145#, so I'm at a disadvantage from the start. Should I yell that the competition is unfair? That I'm not being treated fairly? What about a workout like "Murph," that includes running, pull-ups, pushups, and air squats (albeit whilst wearing a 20# weight vest). I can fucking crush that workout. Should heavier, taller, slower athletes yell that it's unfair to them? Ok, one very very last thing: life isn't always fair, so get over it.
I fear for our democracy. I hope (as I don't pray) for a blue wave come November. I also hope that the election is fair. It likely won't be. (See above.)

Introducing measures of wellbeing
A number of instruments have been developed to measure the concept of wellbeing.
However, as we mentioned at the being of this course, wellbeing is a difficult concept to define and as yet there is not an agreed operationalised definition of what exactly wellbeing comprises. Subsequently, measures of wellbeing differ in how they conceptualise it.
Some approach wellbeing as a context-free concept, in that wellbeing is considered in relation to life in general. Others approach it as a domain-specific concept, where wellbeing is considered in relation to a specific environment, for example, wellbeing at school or at work (Taris and Schaufeli 2015).
Your task
Read this article on self-report measures for assessing wellbeing in adults, then answer the following question:
Which measure do the authors suggest is the most appropriate to assess wellbeing? How far do you agree with their conclusion?
Post your thoughts in the comments and 'like' or reply to posts you find useful or interesting.

Nexus Discuss the Benefits of Vehicle Management Software
Vehicle management is the administration process enabling businesses to organise their company vehicles. It includes processes such as booking vehicles, billing data, real-time MI, customer service monitoring and fines and damage management. These processes assist in lowering costs and increasing business efficiencies.
Tusker, the most awarded Car Benefit Scheme provider in the UK, utilise Nexus' multi award-winning vehicle management system. Their unique, cutting-edge software allows their customers to book vehicles, extend agreements and review their business requirements. Due to the white labelling of Nexus' rental management suite, Tusker has been able to reallocate management resource within the company, saving the business around £50,000 per year.
Vehicle management systems should be utilised by a range of business types including building contractors, utility companies and fuel delivery companies. Using a vehicle management system has many benefits, such as:
The administrative process is often facilitated by vehicle management software. This computer software enables a company to track all of its vehicles from a central location. Software capabilities vary from one system to another, but will often include features such as booking vehicles and monitoring driver behaviour, vehicle usage, break times and safety.
Nexus Vehicle Rental offer a unique vehicle management system called IRIS. The rental management and mobility system allows the user to book vehicles, extend agreements and review business requirements like never before. From full billing data and real-time MI to customer service, fines and damage management, IRIS provides everything a business needs to efficiently manage their rentals.
IRIS puts the user firmly in control. After entering rental requirements the system will scour an extensive supplier network to highlight the best possible mobility solution, taking location and delivery costs into account. As the system is directly connected to Nexus' network, booking confirmation times are exceptionally fast – under 30 seconds for most cars. Users are also able to amend orders, regulate user permissions, and analyse real-time MI all through the simple and easy to use dashboard.
The IRIS software can benefit a business in many ways, such as automatically presenting the most cost-effective solutions. Nexus constantly audit and reassess their suppliers' performance so customers are always assured of the very best service levels. The software brings exciting new perspectives to vehicle rental – its MI reporting suite provides all of the historical and real-time data a company needs at a glance, offering fresh insights and helping to identify trends and areas for improvement. All key mobility data and documentation can be cross-referenced, encouraging transparent, open relationships between themselves, their customer and the supplying branch. Underpinning this approach is their dedicated Account Management team who are always on hand to support business objectives.
A number of major companies effectively manage their fleets using IRIS. One such business, Rexel UK, is a leading supplier of electrical products and solutions operating through a national network of over 250 branches. Nexus provides technology to support Rexel's fleet needs, enabling its 3,000 employees to self-serve within Nexus' IRIS rental booking system. The smart technology automatically identifies the most cost-effective rental solutions, advising Rexel how it can reduce its rental spend.

We have known about the Earthworm Jim HD remake for awhile now that will be heading to XBLA, PSN, and WiiWare. But what about an entirely new Earthworm Jim title?
While no details have been announced, Doug TenNapel, creator of the Earthworm Jim series, confirmed that the fourth entry was still in development and that it is heading to, at least, the Wii.
According to TenNapel, Interplay wanted to make the fourth entry a quick and dirty release to make a quick buck. Thankfully, TenNapel stood up against them so more money and time is being put into development.
TenNapel made no mention of when we are going to hear about the title again or if it will be a full retail release or a downloadable title.
For now, you will just have to enjoy the HD remake when that comes out.
