We had just enough time to digest Good Friday's free chocolate when Easter Sunday hit and the kids were showered with even more of the good stuff.
Master 6 awoke with a pretty nasty fever on Easter morning, thus the flushed cheeks and glassy eyes. He was such a trooper and put in a good effort eating a large chunk of his chocolate and managing to collect more eggs in our Easter Egg Hunt than Master 10 (much to Master 10's horror). I don't have any photos of the actual hunt (all video) so instead, here are some weird photos of the kiddo's waiting for Daddy to hide the eggs downstairs.
…yes that's a Monkey with chocolate button eyes (lucky bastard, I'd totally trade in one eyeball for a never ending supply of chocolate buttons).
Naturally the hunt took longer than expected and we found ourselves running very late for the highlight of our Easter weekend…
One crazy cab ride and a sprightly jog in heels (what was I thinking?) later and we arrived at Alexandra Palace for The Moscow State Circus.
To be honest it was a little slow going at first and it didn't really shine until the second half. Once the second half began though the ooh's and aah's abounded. Yes, the performances that involve a harness can be spectacular, but let's face it nothing beats the very real danger of watching the tight-rope walkers doing their thang with no net or harness.
Danger = Entertainment. Sad, but true!
The clowns were actually pretty darn likeable and I have a deeply ingrained distaste for clowns being within a 50 mile radius of me. These guys weren't of the creepy variety (no gigantic painted on smile and abnormally large feet). There was some slightly uncomfortable audience participation involved in their act. Fortunately for us only ring side seats were at risk of experiencing the special kind of humiliation that comes from playing an instrument with your bottom in front of a live audience.
I think this one goes down as the best circus I've been to since I was a child. I think there will always be a tiny bit of me that misses seeing the elephants (I completely understand why circus's are no longer allowed to have animals and as an adult I'm sure I'd be disgusted at the mistreatment of those glorious creatures. There's still a little niggle of nostalgia there though). It was definitely a fun day out for the grown ups and the kids and that makes The Moscow State Circus a winner for us!
After the circus we decided to wander around the enormous Alexandra Palace park to burn off some energy and take in some much needed fresh air. The boys raced up and down hills (I declined) and though we didn't get a proper look at the Palace itself we took in some of the beautiful architecture from a distance whilst waiting for the bus.
Hope you all had a lovely Easter. What did you get up to on your long weekend?
We're definitely experiencing some damp April showers here in London over the past few weeks. I didn't realise how much I'd been missing some good old English wet weather until it finally arrived and I'm loving it!

Mounir el Motassadeq is convicted by a German court after a five-year legal saga.
The Moroccan has admitted training at an al-Qaeda camp in Afghanistan and acknowledges he was close to the hijackers, but insisted he knew nothing of their plans.
Klaus Tolksdorf, the presiding judge, said evidence showed el Motassadeq knew they planned to hijack and crash planes.
He said his actions facilitated the attacks, and it was irrelevant to his guilt whether he knew of their timing, dimension or targets.
Tolksdorf said the evidence showed el Motassadeq helped "watch the attackers' backs and conceal them" by helping them to keep up the appearance of being regular university students.
"This is the day I've been waiting for for five years," said Dominic Puopolo Jr., an American co-plaintiff whose mother died in one of the planes that struck the World Trade Center in New York.
"This man's actions … caused thousands upon thousands of families untold grief, and to know that the German justice system has worked, it's a tremendously special day," Puopolo said.
Trial setbacks
There have been several setbacks in the pursuit of associates of the September 11 hijackers.
"Beyond this case, I can see now that the state of law has sufficient ability to deal with such extraordinary crimes," said Gerhard Altvater, a federal prosecutor, after the verdict.
El Motassadeq, who has already spent a total of about three years in prison, has been free since February pending the appeals process.
Altvater has considered bringing the Moroccan back into custody ahead of the sentencing hearing, which is expected to last only a few days. No date has been set for that hearing.
The Moroccan is one of only a few 9/11 suspects to have been tried worldwide. In the US, Zacarias Moussaoui, a French citizen of Moroccan descent, is serving a life sentence as a conspirator in the plot.
El Motassadeq was convicted of membership of a terrorist organisation and thousands of counts of accessory to murder in 2003.
He became the first person convicted anywhere on 9/11-related charges, and received a maximum 15-year sentence.
Ladislav Anisic, a lawyer for el Motassadeq pledged that "the defence will continue to pursue its efforts to secure an acquittal".
Hamburg authorities have said that, once legal proceedings against el Motassadeq are over and his sentence served, they will deport him to his native Morocco.

AE Pulse July 23: Marc Dorcel Dominates
Adult Empire's update lets you put your finger on the pulse of what's going on at AE! Get the lowdown on the most popular movies and stars on Adult Empire last week with our top-spot rankings:
Week in DVD summary: Interracial Icon Vol. 8's streak was halted at three by Blacked Raw V7, making for 10 consecutive weeks that either Blacked or Blacked Raw have been in the top ranking. In 2018 thus far, the number one spot has been occupied by a Greg Lansky-directed movie every single week. (The last non-Lansky movie to win the top ranking was Threesome Fantasies Fulfilled in December.) Marc Dorcel enjoyed a strong week on the DVD charts, too, thanks to Luxure: My Wife Fucked By Others, which landed at number five. Dorcel performed even better in the VOD rankings (as detailed below).
Week in Pornstars summary: It was mostly business as usual in the upper reaches of the pornstar rankings, with familiar Pulse faces nabbing most of the top spots: Angela White (third straight week at number one), Julia Ann, Alexis Texas, and Mia Malkova. Brandi Love was the sole new name, trending 14 slots thanks to her presence in Blacks On Cougars #17. (Were the Pulse rankings based on washboard abs, Love would undoubtedly occupy the top slot week in and week out!)
Week in VOD summary: Marc Dorcel's strong week was strongest of all on the VOD charts, thanks to two monster bestsellers that got a solid second wind thanks to the continuing Marc Dorcel VOD sale. Sharing My Wife, which debuted on AE as an On Demand exclusive, got a 49-slot boost all the way to number three, while Natural Beauties Vol. 6 dropped one position to number four. Please Cum Inside Me 5 rounded out the top five.

Chick Challenge #12
I'm loving my Unity stamps!! Especially my Ippity Unity stamps. Here's my card for this week's challenge at Chick Challenges with Ippity by Unity.
The challenge was to use a sketch. I used papers that I received from Rona when I won the Ippity chick challenge back in November. (fun papers!) I used one of the stamps I received from her as well. I used a nestabilities to cut my image and inked the edges.
Thanks for looking! Have an awesome day.

When starting a new business advertising is one of the most important steps a small business can do to grow their business. What's equally important is the cost, when there is not a lot of cash flow coming in small business owners must be smart with what capital they do have and make sure they are making more than what they spend. Some of the best ways of advertising don't come from spending astronomical amounts of money but from the homegrown movements i.e. Facebook, YouTube, Yelp. Today we are going to focus on Facebook and when you try to share a link it chooses the wrong thumbnail. Without fail every time you want to post a link to share with your customers or friends it chooses the worst thumbnail to display. The following steps are going to guide you through how to change your thumbnail image to the image that you desire on WordPress themed site.
Step 1:
Go to the dashboard of your website and look for the SEO tab on the left toolbar.
Step 2:
Click into the SEO tab and proceed to the Social sub tab.
Step 3:
Once you're in the social sub-tab you should see accounts, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and so forth, for this article we are just focusing on Facebook. Click on the Facebook tab and then you will be given an option to upload an image URL. This will be the thumbnail that Facebook will display.
Step 4:
Now that the thumbnail image has been selected you have to go to this link: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/. Insert the URL to your website and then click debug. This will populate to another page that will show you details about your website. The only thing we care about is the Scrape Again button. Click this Scrape Again button until you see the updated image in the debugger preview.
Step 5:
It's fixed! Post your website with no worries of it displaying the wrong thumbnail.

THERE were gales, there was rain, but the Esher May Fair on Saturday was still a resounding success.
And, to be fair, the sun did come out occasionally.
Organised once again by Ajax Sea Scouts a sea scout guard of honour welcomed actors John Bowler and Kim Tiddy, who opened the annual event.
The pair, also known as PCs Roger Valentine and Honey Harman from ITV's The Bill, were met by group scout leader George Barber and his wife Janet, who showed them around the fair on Esher Green.
Mike Long, the compere who has supported the event for more than 15 years, introduced all the activities.
Performances in the arena, which this year were sponsored by Sunrise Senior Living, included Juggling Mark, who performed a number of shows, wowing the audience with some death defying feats.
Drums 4 Fun performed and Zoe Bennet's Danzclubs' dancers got everyone's feet tapping by inviting members of the public to participate in a few routines.
The Knight Frank auction moved into the arena just as the rain started but dedicated lovers of auctions stuck it out, bidding for lots such as a VIP visit to Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, a half-term self catering holiday, tickets to the English National Opera's performance of The Marriage of Figaro and some Pamper Hampers containing vouchers donated by local beauty studios and hairdressers as well as restaurants.
Chelsea Football Club Community Development Team ran a football skills session and also had a beat the goalie competition running all afternoon. Esher's own Escola da Samba carnival samba band, based at Esher Church of England High, entertained.

I absolutely love these pants. I went out and purchased them in 3 colors. But after only 1-2 washes, they had shrunk an INCREDIBLE amount. I can deal with a tighter fit, but the inseam literally shrunk from 34" to 31". That is astounding.
For that reason, I do NOT recommend these pants.
Really comfortable pants. Fit real nice especially the stretch waist. Will buy another color.
So this is a 6-month review for one of my most recent purchases. I have these pants in several colors, and have been buying them for years. The ones I bought over 5 years ago started to tear so I got the new versions. They are still extremely comfortable as prior years. They move well and are great for work, sitting or standing. My only complaint is that they grey pair I have seems to fade really easily, which has been an issue with my grey pairs in the past. It is taking the shape of things I have in my pockets like my phone and keys. I wear the grey pair more than any other color, so it is sad they look this bad after only 6 months. Could be why they don't seem to offer the grey in these anymore.
Other than that, they are great. Takes maybe 1 or 2 washes to get them fully broken in. I will just have to wear the other colors more and hope they also don't fade.
These are absolutely fantastic pants, very versatile, can wear in the office , works with with a T-shirt and a semi business casual look. My new replacement for the very expensive Lululemon pants I've worn before, thanks under armor. I will get more !
I bought several golf pants including shorts from underarmour. Apart from quality and design, there is one question. Why do underarmour keep spare buttons when buying pants? I am very curious.
Fits extremely well, tapered just right. Very thin, breathable material that dries extremely fast!!! Definitely one of the best pair of pants I have ever had!
I originally ordered my regular pant length, 32". They were a bit short so I returned them and ordered 34" length. However, after washing they have since shrunk to be much too short. I measured approximately 2-3" in length lost due to washing. Not sure what the problem is with quality control, but I should not need to order a 36" length when I am 32" length by all other standards.
I am a bigger guy and was worried they may not fit, not the case at all, so comfortable and look good!!
These chinos are everything I expected based on the product description. They are comfortable, stretch nicely, and breathe well in hot temperatures. I enjoy the fit, I only wish the taper was a bit more prominent. I wear these for work mainly, and promptly bought four more pairs after giving the first pair a test run. Highly recommended! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
I am a Firearms Instructor and Strength & Conditioning coach and these pants are phenomenal for both. Whether I'm bending down, stretching or just standing for long hours the feel super comfy. They have a sturdy build, but are stretchy. Incredible buy and so far I have purchased them in every color accept for the static blue. Every pair that I have fits the same, so there is definitely consistency with the fit.These pants do run a bit small in the waist (33 x 32-is usually my perfect fit) but I figured that from the previous reviews. The length is on point as well. These pants in my opinion are amazing!

**Are you interested in becoming the face of all things soccer at NEO Sports Insiders? Read more about a potential sponsorship here.**
Columbus, Ohio — This week, the Ohio soccer community rallied behind the movement to Save the Crew. A large contingent of FC Cincinnati fans joined up in unison at MAPFRE Stadium this past Saturday in solidarity with the movement. Future events are now planned with the Columbus Eagles and Cleveland SC in the coming weeks. It's clear that the Ohio soccer community is eager to keep the Crew SC where they belong: Columbus.
This Saturday, June 16th, the Columbus Eagles FC will host a 'Save The Crew Night' in honor of the Columbus soccer community. Kickoff is scheduled for 4 p.m. on June 16 at Otterbein University's Memorial Stadium. Parking is free and tailgating is permitted in the main stadium lot. Gates will open to the public at 3:15 p.m.
On Sunday, June 24th, Cleveland FC will host their own Save The Crew match against FC Syracuse at Don Shula Stadium on the campus of John Carroll University. Gates open at 2:00 pm with a 3:00 pm kickoff.
With two MLS teams, and other clubs at all levels of soccer, Ohio is truly represented by an impressive soccer community. From the beginning, #SaveTheCrew has sought to show just how powerful a community can become. With clubs across the state banded together with us, we are MASSIVE.
Community is a cornerstone of the MLS brand, emphasized by one of the stars on the MLS shield. The Ohio soccer community is strongest when banded together. Following Crew SC's renewed commitment to Columbus, the #SaveTheCrew movement looks forward to encouraging a more cohesive soccer community in Ohio for decades to come.
For more information on the "Save The Crew Movement", you can contact David Miller/Save the Crew email@example.com

Current use of inhalation exposure systems
So far only a few studies use computerized inhalation exposure systems for nicotine delivery. Instead many preclinical researchers investigate the effects of nicotine through intraperitoneal injections or oral consumption. Since the effects on the central nervous system (CNS) can depend on the method of administration, traditional methods of nicotine delivery such as cigarette smoke and e-cigarette vapor inhalation, provide relevant translational outcomes for clinical investigations.
Study investigates existing inhalation exposure systems
Dr. Alasmari and Dr. Crotty Alexander from the College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences of the University of Toledo and the Pulmonary and Critical Care Section of the San Diego Health Care System Institutions investigated the delivery of e-cigarette vapor and tobacco smoke through computerized machines. In addition to that, they compared the efficiency and practical applicability of the inExpose system to other nicotine inhalation systems.
Alasmari, Fawaz, et al.¹ study outcomes showed:
- Evidence that validates inhalation exposure systems as a more clinically relevant method of nicotine delivery compared to other delivery routes.
- Benefits of computerized inhalation exposure systems in terms accuracy and exposure parameters flexibility.
- The inExpose efficiently delivering high concentrations of nicotine into the brain through inhalation. Brain and plasma cotinine concentration in mice following six months of e-cigarettes exposure parallels human active smokers, validating inhalation exposure as a method for nicotine delivery into the circulatory system.
Due to its precise control over the exposure, the inExpose allows researchers to finely-tune experiments to mimic real-world conditions providing relevant and practical animal models, which can be reproduced by collaborators globally.

When it comes to vacuums, power and maneuverability are important — and so is weight. Lugging around a heavy machine can make any task difficult.
The Miele S6270 Quartz is a reminder that powerful vacuums don't have to be hefty.
A good fit for multistory homes with hardwood floors, the Quartz is easy to maneuver and doesn't sacrifice suction for portability.
Check out our analysis of this vacuum, including its scores in a variety of categories, to see if it's a fit for you.
The vacuum
The Miele S6270 Quartz, recently rebranded as the Miele Compact C2 Quartz, is a lightweight, quiet canister vacuum. Its compact, 14-pound body can handle most hardwood and low-pile carpet jobs, from the living room to the stairs. And its stainless steel wand and retracting electrical cord give it a 33-foot operating radius from the outlet.
All Mieles come with a 1,200-watt motor, so the less expensive models aren't less powerful — but they do have fewer features. For example, the Quartz comes only with standard features, such as a floor brush, a dusting brush, an upholstery tool and a crevice nozzle; the more expensive Complete C2 Limited has duo floor brushes.
When not in use, all of the Quartz's attachments can be tucked into its canister hull and held by a handy clip, called the VarioClip. It can clip onto the hose base and hold tools while they're in use, too. This gives users quick access when switching from cleaning smooth floors to cleaning the couch.
The Quartz is listed for $429 on both Miele's website and Amazon.
The Miele S6270 Quartz (or Compact C2) earned spots on three of our best vacuum lists: best canister vacuums, best vacuums for hardwood floors and best vacuums overall.
The reviews
For this article, we looked at expert opinions from review sites, such as The Sweethome, CNET and Good Housekeeping. We then analyzed user reviews to see how the vacuum performs under various circumstances, such as on hardwood floors or thick carpet, and using certain settings.
The vacuum scores run from a low of 1 to a high of 10. In addition to performance, we considered factors such as noise level and durability.
The Miele S6270 Quartz was one of our top-rated canister vacuums, earning a 9.5 overall score, an 8.5 for how well it cleans and a 9.5 for ease of use.
The pros
The Miele S6270 Quartz won high marks in most areas, especially its suction power.
Its primary attachment is the AllTeQ combination floor tool, which helps users transition from cleaning a hardwood floor to a low-pile carpet without having to increase power. If users want more suction on any surface, they can easily up the ante by using the power selector on the vacuum's body.
Many reviewers reported an improvement in home air quality after cleaning with the Quartz. Those with asthma or allergies noted that it even helped minimize their symptoms. That's because the vacuum's HEPA filter traps allergens — such as pollen, dust and pet dander — in the sealed bag.
The floor tool on the Quartz's body is another handy feature. This attachment locks the wand in place when not in use. Many users said it was nice not to have the vacuum hose falling over when they were taking breaks.
The cons
Despite its high ratings, the Quartz did fall short in a few areas. Users' main gripe was its lack of features. For example, some reviewers prefer models with a headlight on the vacuum head, which helps them see into dark corners — and the Quartz doesn't have one. Many also wished that the on/off switch and power controls were located on the handle, rather than on the body of the vacuum.
Like the vacuum itself, the Quartz's replacement bags can be pricey, though most users said that the bags and filters lasted for months. Some noted that the bag meter could be inaccurate, reading as full when the bag had room for another use.
Some users also said they had issues picking up pet hair with the Quartz.
Is the Miele S6270 Quartz right for you?
Lightweight, quiet and beneficial for those with allergies, the Quartz fared well in the most important areas shoppers consider when selecting a vacuum.
But some reviewers were unhappy with certain design aspects of the Quartz, or prefer a vacuum that works on all surfaces — especially if it costs more than $400.
If the lack of features and accessories is a concern, the Shark Rotator NV752 might be a good alternative. It's a light, powerful vacuum that comes with attachments to handle any surface.
Users who like the Quartz's lightweight body but have thick carpet in their home might opt for the Oreck Insight, which is easy to use and offers more versatility across all floor types.

Robert Bentley
Robert Bentley served as the Republican Governor of Alabama, and was the 53rd Governor of that state.
Summary of Life
After graduating from Shelby County High School, he enrolled for the University of Alabama to finally major in Chemistry and Biology, in which he subsequently graduated with a Bachelor of Science after 3 years since his enrollment.
He then began to endeavor in his motivational pursuits to become a student of the University of Alabama School of Medicine to accomplish his earlier dream of becoming a medical doctor.
His goal was fulfilled after meeting Martha Dianne Jones of Montgomery, his future spouse, and after joining the United States Air Force in 1969.
He eventually became a specialist in the field of dermatology after his three-year residency at the University of Alabama, to finally become the governor of Alabama after his previous election to the Alabama State House of Representatives from Tuscaloosa County.
He faced impeachment due to ethics violations relating to his affair with a female staffer. Even though many Republicans, as well as Democrats, asked him to resign, he refused to. However, on April 10, 2017, he did decide to resign.[1]

How Ybcoin Stolen: The Affluence Network: Building Oppulence at Each Level
Thank you for coming to our site in your search for "How Ybcoin Stolen" online. The wonder of the cryptocurrencies is the fact that scam was proved an impossibility: due to the nature of the protocol in which it is transacted. All purchases over a crypto currency blockchain are irreversible. After youare paid, you get paid. This isn't something short-term where your web visitors may dispute or need a concessions, or employ dishonest sleight of hand. In practice, most traders will be wise to work with a cost processor, because of the irreversible nature of crypto currency transactions, you should ensure that security is tough. With any form of crypto currency whether it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or any of the numerous additional altcoins, thieves and hackers could potentially gain access to your personal recommendations and so grab your money. Sadly, you almost certainly will never obtain it back. It's vitally important for you to follow some excellent secure and safe procedures when working with any cryptocurrency. This will protect you from most of these damaging activities. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, The Affluence Network, and many others have now been designed as a non-fiat currency. In other words, its backers assert that there is "real" value, even through there is absolutely 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 electricity via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time frame that is worth an ever declining amount of money or some type of reward in order to ensure the shortfall. Each coin includes many smaller units. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. The individual who has mined the coin holds the address, and transfers it to a value is provided by another address, which is a "wallet" file stored on a computer. The blockchain is where the public record of all trades dwells. Most all cryptocurrencies function as Bitcoin does.
The fact that there is little evidence of any growth in the use of virtual money as a currency may be the reason there are minimal efforts to control it. The reason behind this could be merely that the market is too little for cryptocurrencies to warrant any regulatory effort. It truly is also possible the regulators just do not comprehend the technology and its consequences, expecting 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 examine a specific address for a wallet featuring a cryptocurrency, there is absolutely no digital information held in it, like in the same way that the bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It truly is nothing more than a representation of worth, but there is no genuine tangible form of that worth. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be confiscated or immobilized or audited by the banks and the law. They would not have spending limits and withdrawal restrictions imposed on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can determine how their wealth will be managed. Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put into circulation. Because there's no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to make more. The mining process is what makes more of the coin. It may be useful to think of the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are precisely the same. Mining crypto coins means you'll get to keep the total rewards of your efforts, but this reduces your likelihood of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have much greater potential for solving a block, but the reward will be divided between all members of the pool, predicated on the number of "shares" won.
If you are considering going it alone, it is worth noting the applications configuration for solo mining can be more complicated than with a pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter path. This option also creates a steady flow of revenue, even if each payment is modest compared to entirely block the wages.
How Ybcoin Stolen: I'm Showing You The Money!! – The Affluence Network
For most users of cryptocurrencies it is not essential to understand how the process operates in and of itself, but it is simply crucial that you understand that there's a procedure for mining to create virtual money. Unlike currencies as we understand them today where Authorities and banks can just select to print unlimited quantities (I am not saying they're doing so, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining application, which solves the advanced algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation. You've probably seen this often times where you frequently spread the nice word about crypto. "It is not erratic? What goes on if the price crashes? " sofar, several POS systems presents free conversion of fiat, improving some concern, but until the volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, many people will soon be reluctant to put up any. We have to find a way to fight the volatility that's inherent in cryptocurrencies. The physical Internet backbone that carries data between the various nodes of the network is currently the work of several firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes firms that provide long-distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local pipe, which ultimately joins in homes and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only happen through any 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 businesses, and occasionally by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and companies who want to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network causes it to be possible for the information to stream without interruption, in the appropriate spot at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations "possesses" the Internet together these businesses determine how it works, and established rules and standards that everyone stays. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's occurring to ascertain how things work and what happens if something goes wrong. 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 connect to and with her. Concern over security dilemmas? A working group is formed to focus on the problem and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you have someone to phone to get it mended. If the difficulty is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts set up and service level agreements, which govern the way in which these issues are solved.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain is not regulated by any centralized business. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a dedicated promoter 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 present built-in problems to the user. Blockchain technology has none of that. Many people prefer to use a money deflation, notably those who want to save. Despite the criticism and disbelief, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Financial privacy, for example, is great for political activists, but more debatable as it pertains to political campaign funding. We need a stable cryptocurrency for use in commerce; should you be living paycheck to paycheck, it would take place included in your riches, with the rest earmarked for other currencies. When searching online forHow Ybcoin Stolen, there are many things to think of.
How Ybcoin Stolen – The Affluence Network – Picking Up Where Bitcoin Left Off
Click here to visit our home page and learn more about How Ybcoin Stolen. Since one of the earliest forms of making money is in cash financing, it truly is a fact that you can do this with cryptocurrency. Most of the giving websites now focus on Bitcoin, some of those websites you happen to be demanded fill in a captcha after a particular time period and are rewarded with a small quantity of coins for visiting them. You can see the www.cryptofunds.co site to find some lists of of these websites to tap into the money of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin marketplaces have quite different dynamics. New ones are always popping up which means they do not have lots of market data and historical view for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have somewhat inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to come up with an acceptable investment strategy. Bitcoin is the main cryptocurrency of the internet: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, world-wide, and decentralized. Unlike conventional fiat currencies, there is no authorities, banks, or some other regulatory agencies. As such, it's more immune to outrageous inflation and tainted banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the protection and privacy threats. Security and privacy can easily be reached by just being clever, and following some basic guidelines. You'dn't set your whole bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be secured by removing any identity of possession from your wallets and thereby keeping you anonymous. Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact cash and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in a similar way, but they also be a part of more complicated smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a trade to be supported by the network, but where a certain number of a defined group of people consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This allows innovative dispute mediation services to be developed in the future. These services could allow 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 procedures, the blockchain consistently leaves public evidence a transaction happened. This can be potentially used in an appeal against companies with deceptive practices. Anyone can become a Bitcoin miner running software with specialized hardware. Mining software listen for transmission transactions on the peer-to-peer network and perform the appropriate jobs to process and support these transactions. Bitcoin miners do this because they are able to earn transaction fees paid by users for faster transaction processing, and new bitcoins in existence are under denominated formulas. Only a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, this means the cost a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Many people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This limits the quantity of bitcoins that are really circulating in the exchanges. In addition, 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 usually are not vulnerable to price exploitation, yet there is certainly no need for big amounts of cash to move market prices up or down. The slightest occasions on earth market can change the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency volatile.

Even before culty Canadian psych-folk band Eric's Trip broke up, singer-bassist Julie Doiron had begun penning her own quiet, stripped-bare songs and releasing them as Broken Girl. (That moniker should give some indication of the mood.) Doiron's first disc under her own name, 1997's Loneliest In The Morning, was released on Sub Pop into a climate that didn't seem terribly receptive to such gentleness. But it was a fantastic album then, and it's a fantastic album now that it's been reissued by the label that brought the world Bon Iver, whose fans might be more willing to take a chance on a record that features little more than gentle guitar and voice. Loneliest is overwhelmingly sad, but Doiron capably translates her melancholy into beauty rather than a pity party: "Tell You Again" and "Sweeter" are transcendently simple and never morose. This edition adds a few extra tracks, including a couple recorded with Doiron's fellow Canadians The Wooden Stars to provide a taste of what she sounds like with a fuller lineup.

The 4th comes and goes and then it means it is time to pick blueberries! The girls and I headed out one morning earlier this week to do just that.
The morning had started out pretty overcast so there weren't many people picking. As the morning wore on, the sun came out and we hit our stride.
We decided to go get the cash and then stop by for a sweet treat reward of frozen custard. It was de-lish.
Chocolate for the Noodle. Peach and vanilla swirl for Mei Mei and me.
Once we were sufficiently fortified, we headed back to pay, since the girl at the check-out had said that she'd hold our berries off to the side for us.
While that sounded good in theory, when we got back to pay, they couldn't find our 3 bulging bags of berries. Must have been sold off to someone else. Humph. Thankfully they had enough in their pre-picked stock so they gave us those and we were on our way.
Of course, both of them fell asleep on the way home. Ha! The Noodle did fine when she woke up but Mei Mei proceeded to have a nuclear meltdown once she got out of the car. After about 20 minutes she crawled over to where I was sitting and climbed (literally) up into my lap and settled. Then she was fine. Go figure.
I think this weekend I'm going to try to make this with some of the berries. It looks scrumptious, doesn't it?!

Chinese Channel
Baby is watching the Chinese channel. She loves to watch this channel and claims she can understand what they are saying. I think the real draw for her is just to see so many people that look like her.
I know from experience that it is very difficult to live in a place where you look different than everyone else. I mean children literally stare at me when we are on the bus. Hubby thought I was imagining it but has had to admit that yes they are mesmerized, or terrified of my big blue eyes.
Whatever the reason it is difficult to be stared at everywhere you go. When hubby first got her started watching the Chinese channel she would not watch very long. Now we find her watching it for longer and longer periods. She also likes it when we put on Chinese music for her.
We feel it is important to help her connect with her roots. Yes she is an American now and no longer lives in China. But everyone there looks like her. That is big, as I have found. When we go places that there are more Chinese people she loves it! I think it is such a relief to her to not be in the "fish bowl" for a change.
This is part of the reason we have chosen Austin to live part time while hubby finishes his degree. They have a big FCC chapter there and we are very excited to get her involved in that. She will be starting Mandarin lessons here in October, when she turns 7.
In the meantime she will continue watching the Chinese channel and yelling out every few minutes, "she looks like me too!"

Every human being in this world has what he or she enjoys doing. On my part, I have a liking for writing and it has become my hobby since my high school years. I developed fondness towards the art of writing after having been encouraged by my language teacher. She used to do a lot of writing and had written several books and articles that were published in journals, magazines, and newspapers. She used to write on virtually every topic especially on issues that were emergent within the society.
This teacher became my role model. This paper shall give a summary of the reasons and challenges I meet during writing. Reasons and Challenges in Writing: As stated earlier in the introduction, I developed my desire in writing during my high school days and from that time I have enjoyed every bit of my hobby, writing on almost every topic in the day to day life in the society. One of the main reasons as to why I have a liking for writing is that I have a strong yearning to progress in writing.
Writing also assists me in developing new skills and advancing knowledge on various subjects. Writing also helps me in expressing my feelings (Hodges, p 9).
There are however many challenges that I encounter in writing. Extra caution is needed when writing due to the strict rules and legislations that have been established to govern writing. These acts to limit the extent to which an individual would wish to express his/her ideas (Elbow, p 12).
The Essay on Writing Reasons People Write One
On Monday nights I get together with a few friends to exchange ideas about writing and to exchange pieces that we have written. A few Mondays ago one of those friends was having the most fundamental of creative writing problems. "Why should I ever write anything" she moaned. "Why should any of us No one wants to hear anything I have to say because I have nothing new to say about any of it." After ...
Writing can also be a challenge in that finding the right words does not come easy.
Writing requires total commitment and it may be discouraging especially when you are unable to come up with the necessary words that would express a phenomenon (Elbow, p 26).
Writing can not be done in a haphazard manner and therefore requires adequate time and vast research on the topic. Writers get frustrated when some topics of interest do not have enough information upon conducting research. Conclusion: Writing is part and parcel of my life and despite the challenges that I face, I am determined to overcome them and excel.
It is only through writing that the unspoken minds can be read and understood. Just like any other field, success in writing requires total commitment. Work Cited: Elbow, Peter.

Virtual Prototyping of Distributed Embedded Systems with FERAL
T. Braun, D. Christmann, R. Gotzhein, A. Igel, T. Kuhn
In: International Journal of Modelling and Simulation, Volume 34, Issue: 2, Acta Press, 2014
Distributed embedded systems are found in time- and safety-critical domains, such as avionics and automotive. Virtual prototyping is a suitable approach for the development of such systems, since it enables early testing and early evaluation of design decisions in realistic simulated environments. Existing simulators only focus on specific aspects and application domains. However, an accurate prediction of the overall system behaviour of complex distributed embedded systems requires the consideration of multiple aspects together, e.g., communication and functional behaviour. Therefore, a mechanism for the rapid coupling of simulators is required to create holistic simulation environments. In this paper, we survey our modular simulator framework FERAL, which provides a generic solution to virtual prototyping by enabling the rapid coupling and exchange of diverse simulators, even with heterogeneous simulation models. Thus, simulators operating on different abstraction levels can be applied together. We demonstrate the adaptation of FERAL by incorporating several simulators, in particular, existing simulators (Simulink, ns-3), and our newly developed simulators for the automotive communication technologies CAN and FlexRay. We then demonstrate FERAL's capabilities by evaluating different design alternatives for an adaptive cruise control system in a real world scenario.

Don't Leave Your Longings Unattended
October 1, 2019
If you follow me on Facebook, you have seen my postings that start with "Consultant walks into a bar, Take 1000." This past week at a hotel bar in Southern CA I sat next to a man in a cowboy hat who took a phone call and began to share with his friend that he was doing well. Yes, it had been nine months since his wife's death. He was learning how to use the dishwasher. He was being set up on blind dates by his daughter. He mentioned he was a blessed man and thanked the man for his call.
I eavesdropped while he was talking. The sweetness and optimism of the call moved me. When he got off the phone, I admitted my listening in on his side of the call and how touched I was as he spoke about his late wife. We went on to talk about the present and the future. Life was precious.
Seven years ago this October, I was working in Palo Alto USD and, in a single moment in the middle of a workshop, I decided to move on from my role at the district. It was a Friday. That afternoon over drinks I shared my declaration and my friends took me very seriously. "You are quitting this month?" No. I wasn't going to do that mid-year. I took my leave the following June.
Now it is October 2019. Last week, I saw a Gaping Void post online: How Letting Go Can Help Your Work Life – by Marla Gottschalk. She wrote,
"Letting go of a goal isn't a defeat.
It does not a signal failure on your part.
It may mean that the goal no longer serves you.
It may mean you have committed your best effort — and the outcomes/rewards weren't there.
It is closure.
It is about shifting your energies to fertile ground…
It can mark the moment of a new beginning."
If these comments above speak to you and you need to be on 'more fertile ground' I encourage you to go for it. Seven years ago, I left the district to become a communications consultant and a 'universal teacher being.' You have only one life.
How do I tie together the widower at the bar with my leaving my school district? First off, I wouldn't have been at the bar had it not been for my leaving. I wouldn't have had an amazing conversation where we celebrated life.
I took the picture seen above at a museum I was able to see while I was working in Curitiba, Brazil which, again I wouldn't have seen had I not moved on. It says, "Don't leave your longings unattended." Clever spin of words, eh? And powerful. Life is precious. What longings have you left unattended?
If you have any questions, comments or topic suggestions, please feel free to email me at email@example.com. I look forward to hearing from you!

In the final weeks of the legislative session, California lawmakers passed major climate change measures, including Senate Bill 32 (Pavley), which extends the state's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction target from achieving 1990 emission levels by 2020 to reducing 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030.
The fate of the other big climate change bill, SB 1383 (Lara), which seeks to aggressively reduce a subset of GHGs known as "short-lived climate pollutants, was decided on the final night of the session when it narrowly passed both the Assembly and Senate, and only after a compromise was reached with dairy producers and the waste management industry. SB 1383 was amended the night before to limit the amount of methane emission reductions from dairy manure management to 40 percent less than 2013 levels, not 75 percent as the Air Resources Board (ARB) has proposed. Legislators also eliminated the highly controversial enteric emission (cattle flatulence and belching) reduction requirements altogether, unless both ARB and the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) agree that there's a proven way to reduce such emissions.
The legislative amendments require ARB to ensure that any "regulations are economically feasible" and provide adequate incentive funding to encourage project development. Moreover, ARB cannot implement regulations until or after January 1, 2024.
California's dairy farming families and their counterparts throughout the U.S. already have a tremendous track record of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Dairy farmers have significantly reduced the carbon "hoofprint" of a glass of milk through the innovative use of new technologies. A major study by the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization showed that North America – led by the U.S., but also including Canada, Greenland, and Bermuda — has the lowest carbon footprint per unit of milk produced in the world.
Further reductions contemplated by state regulators, particularly on the aggressive schedule called for under SB 1383, will be far more costly and difficult to obtain for California's dairy families. Equally important, the state's targets for dairy manure methane emissions are not just the most ambitious in the nation, but the only such requirements being placed on dairy farmers anywhere in the world.
California's "go it alone" mentality will require ARB to take a careful and thoughtful approach to how it regulates the state's dairy farms. Command and control strategies simply won't work. ARB will need to roll up its sleeves, cooperate with the industry to do the research, remove the barriers and provide financial resources needed to achieve the desired reductions. While the state allocated $50 million for dairy methane reduction projects, that allocation will only incentivize another 18 to 20 methane digesters, or about one-tenth the number needed to achieve the 40 percent manure methane reduction target. It is a good start but represents just a small down payment on the infrastructure and resources needed to achieve the state's dairy methane reduction goals.
As Governor Brown noted at last year's Paris Climate-Change Conference, "Climate change is not limited to the borders of California" and actions by California alone "won't even make a dent." ARB needs to take note of the Governor's point and work with, not against, California's dairy farm families. Only then can California hope to set an example that other states and countries will seek to replicate.

The location i reserved a rental at did not have a car available, despite my reservation. They suggested I Uber to the airport (a 20 dollar Uber), where they charged me a significantly higher rate for my reservation. On top of that, the attendants were unprofessional, and did not seem remotely interested in the fact that their horrendous service was costing me both a lot of time and money.
