In Britain, we have a strange custom known as "snow days". Since we have snow so rarely, we are entirely unprepared. Once every few years, we have enough snow to make the roads treacherous, the trains unreliable and for the schools to close (since the teachers can't get to work). The snow rarely lasts more than a coupe of days, but while it does, it dominates the national conversation and throws everything into chaos. We do not have four wheel drive, snow chains in our cars or grit on every steep hill. There are not enough snow ploughs to clear every road and railway line. Offices are quiet and people go out to play instead.
This year, my son had snow on his birthday for the first time, and it brought the unexpected gift of two days off school. He, his brother, and their friends, took the their sledges to the nearest steep hill and spent happy mornings racing down the hill before coming home wet and cold for hot chocolate. It was the best birthday present of all.
Meanwhile, I had two days of important back-to-back meetings planned, and a rare opportunity for a a Christmas meal with my colleagues from around Wales, which I was really looking forward too. I was determined not to give up on my plans. My car was buried in snow, and there is a steep hill at the end of our road, so I opted to take the train. I arrived at the station to find no trains were running, since a tree was down over the line. Fortunately the train from the opposite direction turned around, and I got to my first meeting. My colleague was not so lucky – she did not arrive until mid-afternoon. After the meeting, I headed to the station for my onward journey, stepping with care since the pavements were so icy. The delayed afternoon trains were still showing as not arrived, which did not fill me with confidence. With much reluctance, I gave up on my social event, and felt lucky to make it home. The closest I got to my meal was a running commentary of everyone's journeys on Whats App.
The next day, I Skyped into my meeting – a lesson learnt.
So, what do snow days have to teach us?
- Non-attachment – on a snow day, it doesn't pay to be too attached to your plans. You need to be willing to let go of them gracefully.
- Compassion and connection – people say hello to each other and help each other out. People check on their neighbours, they talk to each other about transport delays, they help each other clear the snow from the pavements, they smile in the street. Everyone seems friendlier.
- See the world with fresh eyes – everything looks different in the snow. You can take time to see how things are right now in the present moment, rather than carry out your journey on auto-pilot.
- Remember how to play – build a snow man, go sledging, have a snowball fight!
- Think flexibly – is there another way of connecting to people? Do you really need to travel? Could you try working from home?
- Enjoy some welcome rest – if you end up staying home because the kids are off school or you cannot get to work, make the most of the time by snuggling up and getting cosy. This is a time of year when we could usually use a bit of extra time to relax and refresh ourselves.
- Gratitude! Having to do without a few things can help us appreciate what we do have – all those days when we have access to good transport, electricity, warmth, childcare, simple routines.

We have moved 11 times in close to 17 years of marriage. All have been work related and all have been with just two companies. It is expected that you will move at least once in your career. Performance reviews make it very clear that an unwillingness to move will negatively impact your upward mobility.
As a disclaimer, I will also note that all of the moves had a stable job at the end and all were paid for by the corporation. In the last 17 years, I have not packed or lifted a box. All I have done is make plane and hotel reservations.
From The Economist
That make economists fret: a nation of stick-in-the-muds could face disappointing productivity growth and more stubborn unemployment than it is used to.
On the other hand, I have only moved state to state once. I have been more likely to move country to country. I think it is good for my kids - they are pretty tough and adaptable. It is good for my husband - he is rapidly moving up in the company. It is good for me - I get bored staying in one place too long.
We said "no" once. We didn't want to move to Angola. Actually, we wanted to move to Angola, but we didn't want to expose the boys to the constant malaria medication. We gave up a lot of money, but some things are not worth it.

Quite Possibly the Most Important Photo You Will Ever See
Quite Possibly the Most Important Photo You Will Ever See
This was sent to me from HTTV volunteer copy editor Becky Long, who in 1998 was on the sidelines as UM cheerleader Becky Long. The wide-angle:
Click gets you full size, which is just 300kb or so (to a 1998 hard drive that's huge) but plenty for your need. That need is to cast this image in your head until the most Brady Hoke thing ever has claimed its rightful place next to Don't Make Lloyd Angry, and the Bo-Canham-Bump Press Conference in the Hall of Before-He-Was…
To my knowledge, until now the best Hokepoint from the Before-Time known to the internet was that overused thing with the uncharacteristic headset. Bonus: We now have a photo to use when we talk about Rob Renes and genetic nose tackles.
That is all.

The Boyne City to U.S. 31 Non-Motorized Trail Steering Committee will be hosting a community forum 7-9:30 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 16, at the Charlevoix Public Library.
The committee will be meeting with the community to seek common ground for moving forward on the trail issue.
Discussion about a possible trail linking Boyne City and U.S. 31 for use by pedestrians and bicyclists started in the 2003. Controversy erupted last fall when some residents, especially those living adjacent to the proposed route along the Boyne City-Charlevoix Road, raised concerns about the impact a trail might have on the use and value of their property, liability, costs and other issues.
Over the past six months, a task force appointed by the Charlevoix County Parks Committee developed five approaches for addressing the trail issue. Those alternatives and background information are outlined in the new Non-Motorized Trail Issue Book, available at www.charlevoixcounty.org and at the Boyne City and Charlevoix public libraries.

(you know, it's for you)
So this one goes out to all the best friends in the world. The ones that smile for you when you excitedly fall in love with some new, unknown boy. The ones that sit through a pack of cigarettes with you at two to five in the morning listening to you cry about said boy who cheated on you even though they've got to be up at six for work. The ones that take time off work / school just for a little naughty afternoon shopping and eating on weekday. The ones who drag you to social events just to distract you from a broken heart. The ones who respond to every facebook, every twitter status update, just so you don't feel so alone and ignored. The ones who recognize you have a right to feel as shitty as you do about the boy who hurt you even though they'd spent the last two years telling you he was nothing but trash, the ones who don't tell you you're a fool, the ones who tell you you've a right to hurt. Because they're also the ones who have the strength and the love enough to tell you to snap out of it, that he was never worth it, because they're also the ones who have the courage to be honest enough to tell you you'd be a fool to take the manipulative creep back. The ones who bombard his messenger account with warnings to leave you alone, the ones who tell him behind your back to leave you well and alone, to stop messing with your mind when he's already with someone else. The ones who introduce you to new and wonderfully normal and loving boys.

This is an eclectic compilation of resources found to be helpful by staff, family and friends. Although we do our best to keep up, we do not always have the opportunity to read all the selections. Therefore, we have indicated titles that have been personally recommended by our staff and instructors by marking them with an asterisk.
The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference
Why did crime in New York drop so suddenly in the mid-90s? How does an unknown novelist end up a bestselling author? Why is teenage smoking out of control, when everyone knows smoking kills? What makes TV shows like Sesame Street so good at teaching kids how to read? Why did Paul Revere succeed with his famous warning? In this brilliant and groundbreaking book, New Yorker writer Malcolm Gladwell looks at why major changes in our society so often happen suddenly and unexpectedly. Ideas, behavior, messages, and products, he argues, often spread like outbreaks of infectious disease. Just as a single sick person can start an epidemic of the flu, so too can a few fare-beaters and graffiti artists fuel a subway crime wave, or a satisfied customer fill the empty tables of a new restaurant. These are social epidemics, and the moment when they take off, when they reach their critical mass, is the Tipping Point.

Building Champions: A Guide for Parents of Junior Golfers
Must reading for all parents of junior golfers. From Dr. Bee:
Several years ago the father of one of my junior clients, said "There is no simple advice or guidelines available for parents whose children play golf competitively." He had asked me for advice on how to encourage his son without being overbearing. "At junior tournaments," he said, "I've noticed some parents are far more involved in their kids golf than others. He wanted to find the right balance so his son would have fun with golf while still wanting to play his best. He suggested I write this book. My experience working with juniors as young as 5 to touring professionals has taught me that parenting has a huge impact on both short term and long term success.

Google once again have entered the same business with Apple, it is so hard to ignore the fact that the 2 computing giants are competing in almost every fields of business! From Phones, Tablet/Slate, Operating System, TV Devices to now iMovie for iPhone with Youtube's Video Editor.
Youtube Video Editor can be access via browser, no installation nor programs needed. You can simply go to youtube video editor and drag and drop any video you have uploaded to your Youtube Account. In the Video Editor, you will see thumbnails of the videos in your account, and you can trim those videos with the scissors icon.
Although the YouTube Video Editor is very primitive compare to iMovie, or even iMovie for iPhone, but it is the first step for Google in the video editing business. Honestly, looking at YouTube Video Editor seriously reminds me of Window's Movie Maker. [YouTube]

I Don't Even Lift T-Shirt
This is the coolest t-shirt I've seen all week. I saw it featured in the latest training YouTube video from CT Fletcher, where he trains an 18yo wrestler named Kaz (who rocks the t-shirt in the video below).
You can grab it in a variety of styles of course. My personal preference is white text on a black t-shirt.
For Men
The regular 'I Don't Even Lift' t-shirt comes in 11 different colors! The green one below is just an example.
The orange tank top below is just an example as well. There are 8 different colors available for that one.
And the sleeveless t-shirt is a must, if you live in the woods somewhere and were raised by wolves. It's so awful it only comes as a medium in black. Not like it matters… you're probably color blind from huffing paint thinner and inhaling air duster, if you buy this one.
For Women
For strong-ass females that pretend like they don't even lift, because they don't want to get too bulky, the t-shirt is also available for women. This one comes in 17 different colors. I had no idea that many colors existed. Again, the pink one below is just an example. Is it sexist that I'm posting a pink one for women? Maybe.
The tank top below for women comes in three different colors (sky blue as pictured below, black and white). The white one actually looks kind of cool, even though the text on it is also white. I didn't think they could pull that off. It's all subtle and shit. And yes, the sky blue one below is just an example. I know you were wondering about that!
I'm a t-shirt salesman now. That's probably a good thing, because I don't even lift.
Gym T-Shirts
Here are some t-shirts you could consider wearing to the gym. A few of them are awesome in a stupid way and the rest are just badass all around.
DYEL? (abbreviation for Do You Even Lift?) T-Shirt
This one is a true classic in the lifting community. It's kind of douchebaggy, but not really… I think anyone can rock this one.
Punisher T-Shirt
I personally own one of these. I usually wear it when it's time to set a new personal record in the gym and celebrate the funeral of the old one.
Under Armour T-Shirts
Rather than wearing a regular cotton t-shirt, the UA Heat Gear t-shirts will keep you a little cooler when you're sweating a ton. I don't think the difference is that huge, but it's still a little noticable. They're pretty thin, durable and comfortable t-shirts. These are what I wear to the gym most days.
Superman T-Shirt
Batman T-Shirt
I'm Batman.
Camo Muscle Tee
If you don't own one of these bad boys, you probably don't even lift, bro. Bro… do you even lift, bro?
Eat. Sleep. Lift. T-Shirt
If these three things are most important to you, then you obviously need a t-shirt that says so!
Wife Beaters
The ultimate scumbag shirt. You may know them as tanks or A-shirts, but they're still wife beaters to me. The ones from Dockers shown below have awesome reviews. Sun's out, guns out!
Or maybe you want some black and grey wife beaters?
V Neck T-Shirts
Let me set the scene for you: You're Vin Diesel in one of the numerous Fast & Furious movies. You wear a V neck t-shirt because you're a badass and you even lift.
Obviously there are more options, but those should get you started! Now go kill some weights at the gym.
You Lift, Bro? Stop Lion to Yourself, Bro
Lettuce bee cereal. Do you even lift?
Do You Even Lift? Video Prank

Find out about how it all got started
Kivo-ebiz was a bit of a "light bulb" moment in 2005 when one of the Trustees, Steph Hryschko, decided to clear out her garage and sell the contents on e-bay. A little daunted by all she didn't know, Steph thought there would be hundreds of others in the community that felt the same - they would like to sell things on e-bay but didn't have the confidence or skills.
So Kivo-ebiz was launched as a service selling goods for the local community but also providing training classes on buying and selling on e-bay. Until 2009 it was completely managed by volunteers who go out to peoples' homes, photograph their items, list them on e-bay and package & post them once sold.
The enterprise won £15,000 in a "dragon's den" event shortly after its launch and in 2008 went on to win a number of other awards.
From the publicity of this, community groups from all over the country ask us to help them set up similar business models, train their volunteers or share top tips. Much of this consultancy work is facilitated by the DTA (Development Trust Association).

Hot oil treatments are a great way to show some love to your hair, especially when it feels dry and brittle:
- Regular hot oil treatments keep your hair healthy with less breakage during the cleansing process.
- A hot oil treatment also makes detangling a breeze and, with less breakage, the hair is able to retain more length.
- For those living in countries with cold seasons, hot oil treatments are a saviour in the winter months.
- Ladies with coloured tresses can benefit heavily from hot oil treatments especially in combating breakage due to the dryness caused by chemical colouring systems.
1. Warm your oil mixture by heating plain water on the stove. Wait until the water is just about to boil and remove the pot from the stove.
2. Put the oil in a separate container (I use an applicator bottle) and place it in the pot of warm water until the oil warms up.
>>>Don't heat the oil in the microwave because it will lose the nutrients.<<<
3. Test the oil on your wrist before using so you don't burn yourself.
4. Section your hair into 4-6 sections to make distribution easier and less messy.
5. Use the applicator bottle to distribute the oil throughout each section.
6. Carefully massage the mixture into your scalp; be sure to coat your ends!
7. Cover your hair with a plastic cap and let the oil treatment sit in your hair for at least 30 minutes.
8. a. (OPTIONAL) For added moisture, wet a towel with warm water and wring it out. Wrap the warm towel around your head for 20-30 minutes. I sometimes put a damp towel/tshirt/kanga/lesso/scarf in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds to warm it up. Don't worry if the towel cools down, the process is still working.
b. Sit under a heat source like a heating cap or steamer. This will help lift the cuticles, allowing for better nutrient and moisture absorption.
9. Shampoo & condition as you normally would. (PS: shampooing isn't mandatory; for those who prefer not to, you can simply co-wash/use black soap etc.)
Consistently doing these treatments will allow for softer and stronger hair with less breakage. How frequently you use hot oil treatments depends on the texture and condition of your hair.

Cllr Johnny Mythen has said that it is evident now that the policies of austerity implemented by successive governments are failing. Cllr Mythen and Sinn Féin have called upon the government to abandon the failed policies of Fianna Fail and to instead concentrate on a real job creation strategy and much needed reform of the tax system.
"Sinn Féin has long warned that aggressive austerity measures will do more harm than good to our crippled economy," Cllr Mythen said. "New Central Bank projections released last week show that the government is set to miss almost all of its economic targets, published only a few weeks ago. The Central Bank projections predict that consumer spending will remain below zero in 2012. Is it any wonder when Fine Gael and Labours plans for economic recovery involved removing more money from citizen's pockets through new taxes, fewer local services and lower wages? The retail industry is already on its knees. How could a monstrosity like the new household charge improve that sectors plight?"
"New figures from the CSO show that unemployment has now reached 14.3%. 447,900 people are now out of work. Of course this figure does not include those who are not entitled to social welfare due to having been self employed or owning land that is probably unsellable. It also fails to include those who have been forced to emigrate. Sinn Féin warned both the previous government and the current one that extreme austerity measures would lead to increased unemployment and emigration. Unfortunately, we were right."
"It's time for this government to abandon the failed economic policies of Fianna Fail which they once fervently condemned, and to embrace a progressive, realistic job creation strategy. The government's jobs initiative failed in comparison to pre election promises from Fine Gael of 100,000 new jobs, and Labours promised €500 million job fund. They must recommit themselves to solving the unemployment crisis. They must also look at progressive taxation and implementing a policy of 'those who can afford to pay more should do so'. Tax reform must also be addressed as the misuse of taxbreaks by wealthy individuals continues to cost the state revenue in a time when a weekly tax is being placed on old aged pensioners."

Thank you so much for visiting The Affluence Network International Ltd in search for "The Affluence Network Distributor agreement" online.
It should be difficult to get more modest increases (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the way to read these Candlestick charts! And I found these two rules to be true: having small increases is more profitable than trying to resist up to the pinnacle. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it's better to look at publications than wait for order confirmation when you think the price is going down. Second, there is more volatility and compensation in monies that have not made it to the profitableness of websites like Coinwarz.
You are able to run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. Anytime you learn to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you acquire the uptrend will never drop! Always will go down! You will discover that incremental increases are more reliable and profitable (most times)
It is definitely possible, but it must have the ability to recognize opportunities regardless of market behaviour. The market moves in relation to price BTC … So even if it's in a BTC tendency down can make money by purchasing the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you'll be okay.
Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to explore possibilities for making substantial ammonts of cash with various kinds of online marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to brave the cryptocurrency marketplaces.Bitcoin architecture provides an informative example of how one might make lots of money in the cryptocurrency marketplaces. Bitcoin is an outstanding intellectual and technical accomplishment, and it's generated an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But not many people understand that and miss out on very lucrative business models made available as a result of growing use of blockchain technology.
technology due to the many benefits associated with it. This is the reason the new technology is about to change the world from the way we view it now. Bitcoins opened the door through use of Blockchains as the first cryptocurency. Ethereum is expanding the horizon in the field of smart contracts.

Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are placed into circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to create more. The mining process is what produces more of the coin. It may be useful to think about the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are just the same. Mining crypto coins means you will really get to keep the total benefits of your efforts, but this reduces your chances of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members will have a 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 thinking about 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 probably better take the latter course. This option also creates a steady stream of earnings, even if each payment is modest compared to completely block the reward.
Here is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they usually do not physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you examine a particular address for a wallet containing a cryptocurrency, there is absolutely no digital information held in it, like in the exact same manner a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It really is simply a representation of worth, but there isn't any actual tangible form of that worth. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be seized 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 decide how their riches will be managed.
Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others have been designed as a non-fiat currency. Put simply, its backers contend that there is real worth, even through there is no physical representation of that worth. The worth increases due to computing power, that is, is the lone way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU power via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time period which is worth an ever decreasing amount of money or some type of wages so that you can ensure the deficit. Each coin includes many smaller units. For Bitcoin, each component is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are exactly to authenticate other trades, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant alternative, which is one of the appealing aspects of the coin. Once created, each Bitcoin (or 100 million satoshis) exists as a cipher, which is part of the block that gave rise to it. The one who has mined the coin holds the address, and transfers it to a value is provided by another address, which is a wallet file saved on a computer. The blockchain is where the public record of trades resides. 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 attempts to control it. The reason behind this could be merely that the marketplace is too little for cryptocurrencies to warrant any regulatory attempt. It is also possible the regulators simply don't understand the technology and its consequences, awaiting any developments to act.
In the case of a fully functioning cryptocurrency, it might also be exchanged like a thing. Proponents of cryptocurrencies announce that kind of electronic money isn't handled by a main banking system and it is not thus subject to the vagaries of its inflation. Because there are always a restricted amount of goods, this cashis price is dependant on market forces, enabling entrepreneurs to business over cryptocurrency exchanges.
The beauty of the cryptocurrencies is the fact that scam was proved an impossibility: due to the nature of the protocol by which it is transacted. All exchanges on a crypto currency blockchain are permanent. As soon as youare paid, you get paid. This is not anything short term wherever your visitors could challenge or demand a concessions, or use unethical sleight of palm. In practice, many dealers will be wise to make use of a transaction processor, due to the permanent nature of crypto currency orders, you have to be sure that safety is tricky. With any kind of crypto currency whether it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or any of the numerous additional altcoins, thieves and hackers could potentially get access to your private keys and therefore take your cash. However, you probably can never have it back. It is vitally important for you to follow some excellent safe and secure procedures when coping with any cryptocurrency. This may protect you from many of these unfavorable events.

Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact cash and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in a similar way, but they also take part in more elaborate smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a particular number of a defined group of folks agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This enables progressive dispute arbitration services to be developed in the future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their cash. Unlike cash and other payment procedures, the blockchain always leaves public proof a transaction happened. This can be possibly used in a appeal against businesses with deceptive practices.
This mining task validates and records the transactions across the entire network. So if you're trying to do something prohibited, it isn't recommended because everything is recorded in the public register for the rest of the world to see forever.
Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which suggests the price a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Lots of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This limits the number of bitcoins that are truly circulating in the exchanges. Additionally, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Consequently, even the most diligent buyer could not buy all existing bitcoins. This situation isn't to imply that markets usually are not vulnerable to price exploitation, yet there is no need for substantial sums of money to move market prices up or down. The merest occasions on earth market can change the price of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive.
Since among the earliest forms of earning money is in cash financing, it really is a fact that one can do this with cryptocurrency. Most of the giving sites now focus on Bitcoin, a few of these sites you are needed fill in a captcha after a particular time period and are rewarded with a bit of coins for seeing them. You are able to visit the www.cryptofunds.co site to locate some lists of of these sites to tap into the currency of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have very different dynamics. New ones are constantly popping up which means they do not have a lot of market data and historical view for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have fairly inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to come up with a fair investment strategy.

The physical Internet backbone that carries information between the different nodes of the network is now the work of several companies called Internet service providers (ISPs), including companies that offer long distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local pipe, which finally links in families and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only happen through any of these ISPs, players like level 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP operates its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private companies, and sometimes by Governments, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to transfer messages across the network. Many ISPs have agreements with suppliers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for last mile-consumers and companies who desire to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network causes it to be possible for the info to flow without interruption, in the appropriate place at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations possesses the Internet collectively these companies decide how it operates, and established rules and standards that everyone stays. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that is occurring to discover how things work and what happens if something goes wrong. To get a domain name, for example, one needs consent from a Registrar, which has 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 for connecting to and with her. Concern over security issues? A working group is formed to work with the problem and the solution developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you have someone to call to get it mended. If the problem is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in position and service level agreements, which govern the manner in which these issues are resolved.
The benefit of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't regulated by any focused business. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that is something that as a dedicated supporter badge of honour, and is identical to the way the Internet functions. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works present constitutional problems to an individual. Blockchain technology has none of that.
Many people would rather use a currency deflation, especially those who desire to save. Despite the criticism and disbelief, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Monetary solitude, for example, is great for political activists, but more problematic as it pertains to political campaign financing. We need a stable cryptocurrency for use in trade; should you be living paycheck to paycheck, it'd take place included in your riches, with the remainder reserved for other currencies.
You have probably heard this many times where you usually spread the great word about crypto. It's not erratic? What happens when the price accidents? sofar, many POS programs provides free transformation of fiat, alleviating some concern, but before the volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, most of the people will be hesitant to keep any. We have to discover a way to fight the volatility that's inherent in cryptocurrencies.
For most users of cryptocurrencies it isn't crucial to understand how the procedure functions in and of itself, but it is essentially crucial that you understand that there's a procedure for mining to create virtual currency. Unlike currencies as we understand them today where Authorities and banks can only select to print unlimited quantities (I am not saying they're doing thus, only one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining program, which solves the complex algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation.
Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, however, if growth is too fast, there may be some difficulties. If the platform is adopted immediately, Ethereum requests could increase dramatically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the whole platform of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the increasing costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Instability of demand for ether may result in an adverse change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based business that may result in business being unable to continue to run or to discontinue operation.

Physical Disabilities: Education and Related Services, v35 n2 p1-22 2016
The objectives of this study were to investigate types of supportive school services received and factors related to provision of these services. We conducted a cross-sectional study to describe the school experience of males with Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies. Study subjects were identified through the Muscular Dystrophy Surveillance, Tracking, and Research Network. Non-ambulatory males with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) were significantly more likely to use an instructional assistant and resource room support when compared to ambulant males with DMD at the time of the caregiver interview. Males with DMD who received occupational therapy were more likely to use an instructional assistant, while those who received speech therapy were more likely to repeat a grade, use an instructional assistant, and receive resource room support. Males with DMD whose primary caregivers had less than 12 years of education were more likely to use an instructional assistant and resource room support. Non-ambulatory males with DMD should continue receiving appropriate school accommodations so they can keep pace with their physical demands. Males with DMD with speech deficits should be considered for various educational interventions. [This article was also written by the Muscular Dystrophy Surveillance, Tracking, and Research Network (MD STARnet).]

However, it is not possible to assess the levels of both HMW- and LMW-AGEs using any of the current approaches. Subjecting foods to browse around this link heating results in the formation of various AGE molecules, with the types of AGEs produced depending on the heat treatment method employed and the food involved. Unfortunately, most previous studies only examined the levels of a small number of AGE molecules because of methodological issues. The majority of studies of AGEs have focused on representative molecules, particularly CML. Based on assessments of CML levels obtained with ELISA, a database of food products and their AGE concentrations has been produced. Foods containing elevated levels of protein and fat, meat substitutes, and processed meats were found to display markedly increased AGE concentrations. However, discrepancies have been detected between the information in the abovementioned database and the data obtained using other approaches, which indicates that more accurate methods for analyzing AGE levels are required. As AGEs are produced when food is heated, eating processed foods, which are subjected to high temperatures during their production, results in greater exposure to AGEs. The Maillard reaction, in which sugar groups react with proteins and cross-links form between proteins, is responsible for AGE synthesis during the heating of foodstuffs. Conversely, CML is colorless and does not promote protein cross-linking or fluoresce. There are no established methods for evaluating the serum concentrations of AGEs. Whilst most studies of AGEs have examined CML levels, the role played by CML in pathological conditions is poorly understood. Although numerous other AGE structures are known to exist, little is known about which AGEs make significant contributions to disease. In previous studies, we found that the serum concentrations of Glycer-AGEs, but not those of Glu-AGEs, CML, or HbA1c, could be useful biomarkers for predicting the development of cardiovascular events and atherosclerosis. Hence, in the present study we subjected a range of foods and beverages that are commonly consumed in Japan to testing in order to determine their AGE concentrations. The present study indicates that CML is not a suitable biomarker of dietary AGE consumption. The findings of the present study indicate that people should not consume excessive amounts of particular types of food such as cereals, dried fruits, seasonings, prepared foods, and confectionery or certain beverages, particularly sugar-sweetened fruit drinks, lactic acid bacteria beverages, mixed fruit juices, sports drinks, and carbonated drinks. Interestingly, the present study demonstrated that a markedly greater number of foods and beverages contain Glu-AGEs than Fru-AGEs, even among dried fruit products and fruit juices, which contain large amounts of fructose. During glycation, the initial kinetics of the reaction are affected by the protein involved, the temperature at which the reaction occurs, the concentration of the reducing sugar, and the percentage of the reducing sugar that possesses an open-chain structure. Compared with glucose, a greater proportion of fructose exhibits an open-chain structure. Studies of glycation have found that the initial rates of fructose-adduct formation are increased in Hb; however, glucose and fructose display similar levels of reactivity with RNase A, and glucose reacts with albumin 8 times more readily than fructose. The discrepancies between these findings might be due to differences in the local conditions at the reaction sites. A Japanese study examined the amounts of glucose and fructose in various fruits. In addition, in an examination of the expression profiles of endothelial cells extracted from the latter patients' serum samples the mRNA expression levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein- 1, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, and RAGE were found to be significantly downregulated in the cells acquired after AST-120 treatment compared with those seen in the endothelial cells obtained prior to treatment. The latter results indicated that the consumption of Glu-AGEs might contribute to the development of vascular damage in pathological conditions linked to Glycer-AGE-RAGE interactions. Furthermore, they suggest that reducing the absorption of dietary Glu-AGEs might be a useful strategy for treating lifestyle-related conditions.

Knights and Warhorses, by Andrew Ayton
This has rich information on horse values, primarily in the armies of Edward III, and how they changed over time. In the 1360s, most warhorses were valued at between 5 pounds and 20 marks (13.3 pounds). The archers' hackneys were frequently valued at a pound each. This represents a significant reduction in the proportion of high quality horses since Edward's earlier campaigns in France, probably as the English men-at-arms reacted to their own increasing tendency to fight dismounted.

Badges to be pinned on 34 new Saint Paul police officers tonight
After enduring a 17-week academy filled with physical tests and professional training, 34 women and men will have their Saint Paul Police Department badges pinned to their uniforms tonight.
The department will hold a graduation ceremony for its most recent graduating class at
7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 15, at Harding High School (1540 6th St. E., Saint Paul).
The 34 recruits began the academy in August and spent the next several months in studying in classrooms, refining their skills through hands-on activities and preparing for their new jobs in scenario-based exercises. In addition, the group volunteered a combined 133 hours of time at community events, beyond the 680 hours they spent in the academy. While the training was required for graduation, the community service was not.
Saint Paul Police Chief Todd Axtell said he is extremely proud of the newest recruits, who hail from seven countries, speak 11 different languages and "embody determination, kindness and philanthropy."
"The recruits have worked hard to demonstrate their knowledge and skills," he said. "But they also showed that they share the values required to serve our community—exceptional character, an unwavering commitment to doing what's right and a desire to help people in need.
"These women and men are ready to deliver trusted service with respect to our diverse community."
The graduating class includes:
- People from the United States, Honduras, Cambodia, France, Somalia, Ethiopia, Laos and the Philippines
- People who speak English, Hmong, Spanish, Khmer, French, American Sign Language, Tagalog, Visayan, Oromo, Somali and Swahili
- 31 males and three females
- 19 people of color.
With more than 55 percent of the graduates being people of color, Axtell notes that this is among the most diverse class in the 163-year history of the department.
The newly sworn-in officers will begin working on Saint Paul's streets on Saturday, Dec. 17.
The police department invites the public to attend tonight's ceremony and welcome their new officers to the community.

How does it fit in with the series? Well, depends on which series. The miniseries, ok. We get the last chapter of book something or other (I think the daughter's book was the last of the previous miniseries but I'm not certain) rewritten from the star of the current book's POV in each of this miniseries. So you have somewhat of a starting point...I guess... And each story adds to the point of this book. So...this is the culmination of those books. The end of the story arch. The overall series? Honestly, after 31 books, I'd have to reread them all to say. I can tell you this much. This long running series has had more than its fair share of best frenemies with a grudge trying to kill people who trusted them. Also had quite a few serial something or others. Really, the brief interlude with the British mafia (there is such a thing?) was a welcome respite from the SOS that seems to be the theme.
Enough of that for now.
Our H, having noticed the h who has been working as his dad's nurse following the incident that is retold at the beginning of every book, also notices she's distracted and a bit worried. He resolves to find out why. And well, he's hard to resist.
Our h, the only survivor of a serial cop killer (she just happened to barge in on his desecrating her husband's body), is in witless protection. The serial killer has resurfaced and is on the move. Around the same time, the person who was behind her patient being her patient starts making moves to harass the H.
The local handler with witless protection wasn't totally witless - he wanted to move her immediately when trouble arose. Unfortunately, he was outranked by a couple of suits who wanted to...fight I guess...for the honor of catching the cop killer.
The two creeps intersect, and start working together...sortof.
They make their move the night of an AF reunion. They weren't too bright really. The serial killer grabbed and managed to relieve the H/h of the trackers, but the h got his tazer and they were able to overpower him. The stalker of sorts reveals himself, a fight ensues leading to his death, and a few minutes later, help arrives BECAUSE...genius might have removed the trackers but it apparently never occurred to him that a cell phone can be tracked.
As one might have guessed by the frenemy comment in the first paragraph, the person who'd paid a hitman to disrupt the H's daughter's wedding was the H's former partner who apparently was obsessed with the H's late wife and blamed him for her death...20 years prior. How many times has a serial killer or frenemy been right under their noses? I think every miniseries in there has featured that as the story arch. Well, except for the ones with the mob. You knew who the bad guys were; it was just a case of staying one step ahead while trying to figure out how to take them out. Why do I put up with this? Well, other than only one in 3-5 books actually having much to do with the story arch. Maybe? I dunno. Must ponder that...while I read what may or may not be book #32.

But finally, the grace notes of humanity in 1914 upward thrust above the terrors of struggle during this superbly crafted story that Echenoz tells with discretion, precision, and love.

NEW YORK — Sony Corp. said Monday that it was bringing out a cheaper player for Blu-ray discs early this summer, a crucial step in its battle to make the high-definition format the replacement for DVDs.
The BDP-S300 will cost $599 yet will have the same capabilities as the $999 BDP-S1 that Sony is currently selling, said Randy Waynick, senior vice president of the home products division of Sony Electronics.
Sony and Samsung Corp., which also makes a Blu-ray player, have been undersold by Toshiba Corp.'s players for the rival HD DVD format. Toshiba has a model on the market for $499.
However, sales of players for either format have been tepid, as consumers have stood back, waiting for the market to settle on one of the formats.

Derrick Gakuu and Kariuki Maina were attending a late-night party at Nairobi's Kilimani area when their joy was cut short when liquor ran out.
Derrick Gakuu and Kariuki Maina were attending a late-night party at Nairobi's Kilimani area when their joy was cut short when liquor ran out.
Frantic calls to nearby liquor operators bore no fruit. The party ended. But a business idea was playing on the mind of somebody as the disappointment sank in.
"Mr Maina had just joined me at a start-up where we were creating an app-based laundry solution that could facilitate pick-up, wash, iron and deliver when the new 'urgent' problem presented itself with a solution," recalls Mr Gakuu.
Mr Maina had just quit as the marketing director at a virtual mall he helped found and they immediately abandoned their laundry project for what would call BoozeIT, an app that is downloaded.
The mobile-based app was ready in late 2015, but liquor stores were hesitant about home deliveries and so they recruited boda boda (motorcycle taxi) operators.
"We targeted liquor wholesalers who would give a discount specifically for whiskies priced at above Sh1,000. This would see boda boda operators get a commission for every 'package' delivered to a customer," recalls Mr Maina.
Between August 2016 to December 2016, the duo made sales, but realised the the model was not scalable "and we pulled it down for upgrade and secure it further where customers pay upfront to the liquor stores with deliveries done within 20 minutes."
The upgraded app incorporated merchant and customer interface whereby location of the nearest store determined which store picked the order.
Mr Gakuu, the CEO met Mr Maina, the strategy chief in 2015 while studying at Moi University.
"For every transaction, we earn a commission from our co-sharing platform. Merchants also enjoy access to information about demand-driven products. Some liquor manufacturers have also been buying our data to understand which Nairobi regions love their products," adds Mr Gakuu.
Their platform was recently used by some new brands that adopted a soft advertising approach targeting specific income groups.
"Friday and Saturday are our busiest days for our 15 riders and18 liqour stores in Nairobi. In Mombasa we have three participating stores," adds Mr Gakuu.
The customer and the rider communicate via Internet ready phones that promote geo-locations.
Events and marketing firms have subscribed to their services, mostly during weekends.

John Canepa, a leading figure in Grand Rapids revitalization movement, served for many years on the Board of the Grand Rapids Downtown Development Authority, which is managed today by Downtown Grand Rapids Inc. DGRI Board Chair Kayem Dunn served on the DDA with Mr. Canepa and today issued the following statement:
"John Canepa was a man of good judgement and sound advice but more important, he was the most egalitarian person I have ever known. He didn't talk about his belief in human equality. He simply lived it and that informed all of his work in the community.
His contributions to this community are vast and I believe he engaged in so many, wide ranging efforts not for the glory but because he truly enjoyed playing a part in making good things happen. We will honor his memory by rededicating ourselves to continuing the city building work he loved so much."

- 250 grams flour
- 6 grams salt
- 150 grams water
- 100 grams butter (softened)
- 125 grams almond meal
- 100 grams powdered sugar
- 75 grams softened butter
- 2 drops bitter almond extract
- 2 eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- Pour the flour onto a work surface. Make a well in the flour and add the water and salt to the center. Knead with your fingertips to mix. Make sure the water does not splatter everywhere. Form the dough into a smooth ball and cut a cross shape on top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Remove the butter and dough from the refrigerator at the same time. Place the dough on a floured surface. Flatten each corner with the palm of your hand to form a cross. Roll the cross-shaped dough with a rolling pin, but make sure the center remains thicker.
- Wrap the butter in plastic wrap and flatten it with the palm of your hand until it forms a square. Unwrap the butter and place the butter square in the center of the dough. Fold opposite sides of the dough over the butter.
- Roll out the dough to form a rectangle 3 times longer than it is wide. Fold the dough in three like a letter: that means fold the top third towards the middle, and then fold the bottom third over the middle. Rotate the dough a quarter turn. Roll out the dough again into a rectangle 3 times longer than it is wide. Fold the dough like a letter again and rotate the dough a quarter turn. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and 30 minutes.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and repeat step 4. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and return it to the refrigerator for another hour and 30 minutes.
- Repeat step 4 again, but this time, roll out and fold over the dough six times instead of two. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 210 degrees Celsius (410 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it on a floured surface. Roll the dough out, then cut out two circles that are 24 centimeters in diameter. Place the first circle on a baking sheet covered with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond meal, sugar, softened butter, bitter almond extract, and two eggs.
- Once the almond mixture is well blended, spread it over the center of the pastry, leaving 2 centimeters of space around the edges. Place the second pastry sheet on top and press to seal the edges. Gently draw patterns with a knife. Brush the top of the cake with the beaten egg yolk except for the edges. Baked for 30 minutes, until the pastry has puffed and is golden brown.
