World Cup song Three Lions Football's Coming Home is UK No1 on Big Top 40
THREE LIONS (Football's Coming Home) has topped the UK charts as No 1 again after 20 years. Check out the lyrics here.
Frank Skinner, David Baddiel with The Lightning Seeds have done it again.
An incredible 22 years after it's original release at EURO 1996, Three Lions is UK No 1 once again.
The World Cup anthem topped last week's chart winner Solo by Clean Bandit and Demi Lovato.
Three Lions was only No 33 when it entered the Top 40 last week, but has risen to the very top after England's 2-0 quarter finals win against Sweden.
World Cup song Three Lions Football's Coming Home is UK No 1 AGAIN after 20 years
Three Lions was last UK No 1 20 years ago
Vodafone Big Top 40 radio show revealed the news yesterday afternoon, after Three Lions was 3-1 to top the charts.
The figures include radio airplay and streaming figures from iTunes and Apple Music only.
Three Lions first hit the top of the UK Singles Chart when it was released in 1996, where it remained at No 1 for two weeks.
Come the 1998 World Cup the song was re-released as 3 Lions '98 and was top of the charts for three weeks that time around.

IT'S COMING HOME! #ThreeLions is officially Number 1 ������— The Official Vodafone Big Top 40 (@BigTop40) July 8, 2018
Congratulations to @baddiel, Skinner & @Lightning_Seeds who have the BIGGEST song this week from streaming, downloads and radio play!

It's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming
Football's coming home
Everyone seems to know the score
They've seen it all before
They just know, they're so sure
That England's gonna...
Throw it away
Gonna blow it away
But I know they can play
'Cause I remember...
Three lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
Thirty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming
So many jokes, so many sneers
But all those "Oh, so near"s
Wear you down through the years
But I still see...
That tackle by Moore
And when Lineker scored
Bobby belting the ball
And Nobby dancing…
Three lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
Thirty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming
I know that was then
But it could be again
It's coming home, it's coming
Football's coming home
(Repeat to end)
I know that was then. But it could be again
It's coming home, it's coming. Football's coming home(Repeat to end)

Description of problem:
When I choose to partition MANUALLY through anaconda the end result
respect my wishes for partition sizes but the layout I get is both
different than the one I gave and IMHO grossly suboptimal.
Tracks in the outer ridge (low numbered tracks) have more blocks than
tracks in the inner ridge. For that reason they are faster and should
be used for the partitions who will see the heaviest use.
But when I partition with anaconda I find the boot partition at the
very first (that is OK since it is an architectural constraint) and
partitions I consider unimportant at the beginng while the important
ones are at the end in the slowest part of the disk. (it seems to use
a kind of LIFO stack)
When user selects to partition manually Anaconda should step aside
since it cannot guess what will be the important partition (/usr for a
developer machine, the one containing the database for an Oracle server)
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install any RedHat or Fedora version
2. Choose to partition manually through Disk druid
Actual Results: Partitions in LIFO order
Expected Results: Partitionning accrding to my wishes
Additional info:
Partitions are ordered by size (with exceptions) so that growing can
fill the disk in a sane fashion. If you want more explicit
partitioning, you can choose to edit the free space and set partitions
in explicit cylinder ranges.

Is it time to retire Jakartass?
I ask because I've now got something else to do with my 'spare time'.
The lass in Carrefour had a very seductive way about her. It wasn't her smile or her come-hither eyes. Oh no, Jakartass is beyond that sort of thing when shopping for the weekend's supply of Bintang.
What attracted me was her special offer; a FREE satellite dish from Indovision. Yep, Jakartass is a sucker for freebies. Above all, I'd missed the pleasure of watching neanderthals doing grievous bodily harm to each other as they smack each other down. There was also last night's England match to look forward to. Or not, as it happened.
Our Kid is happy with the 50 or so channels as he can now watch SpongeBob Squarepants in English. I'm not sure if I should give him unrestricted access to the remote however as, according to James Dobson, founder of the right-wing Christian group Focus on the Family, SpongeBob is seen as an icon for adult gay men in the US, apparently because he regularly holds hands with his sidekick Patrick.
Still, no problems with 'Er Indoors as I suspect she'll stick with her regular diet of cinetrons (soap operas) on local TV.
Another reason for retiring is that over the past few months here in Indonesia more folk have joined the blogging fraternity. I'm not referring to the 'I kissed my cat, hit the boyfriend and went shopping tribe' but to those of us who have assumed a role as citizen journalists.
I've already linked to A. Fatih Syuhud who uses his allotment of hyperspace to create a mini-directory of Indonesian and expat bloggers who focus on Indonesia.
I'd love to see many more Indonesian bloggers blog in English, the most-widely-understood world language. So that the world knows and understands more about Indonesia by reading anything written by Blogger Indonesia.
One commentator Fatih has yet to discover is Thang D. Nguyen, a Jakarta-based columnist and a prolific and provocative writer, Thang pens frequently on Indonesian and Asian affairs for international and major Asian newspapers. He is also the Director of the United in Diversity Forum.
He is also a blogger in that he has posted some of his columns online – here.
The British scientist Francis Bacon once rued: "Knowledge is power." The ignorance of your rights, therefore, becomes somebody else's power that can be used against you.
Rights on, Thang.
I have the feeling that we are reaching a critical mass of critical commentary. The Indonesian blogosphere is being monitored by the mass media and my referrers include the Guardian and the BBC who kindly commented that the excellent Jakartass blog is well worth a read for coverage of events in Indonesia.
Aw shucks but why stop there?
There is still plenty to keep me going and more praise to accrue. I've also now got Indovision to rail against. Well, not yet, but I would like to know why they don't offer broadband Internet access.
I'll keep you posted.

A new study out of the National Bureau of Economic Research shows what a train wreck do-it-yourself retirement is going to be.
Its survey of 1,500 Americans conducted during the summer of 2009 shows that many of us aren't even saving for everyday emergencies, much less retirement.
Most of us have not even thought about how much money we'll need to retire comfortably and many of us who have retirement plans have almost no knowledge or understanding about how it's invested.
Among the scary facts from the survey:
- 30% of all Americans have no savings at all.
- Half don't have enough savings to cover three months of living expenses if they are laid off or can't work because they're sick or injured.
- Only 42% of those surveyed said they have even tried to figure out how much to save for retirement.
- That figure rises to just 51% for those who are 45 to 59 years old and closest to retirement.
- Only half of those surveyed said they even had a retirement account through an employer.
- When those who have a retirement account were asked how much of their savings is invested in stocks, or mutual funds that include stocks, 17% didn't know.
- When asked if their retirement savings is primarily invested in target-date mutual funds, 37% said they didn't know.
401(k) retirement plans were supposed to replace disappearing corporate pensions.
If we empowered Americans to plan for their own retirement, supporters claimed we'd make better choices than any employer or government bureaucrat could make for them.
They envisioned a nation of empowered investors intent on building wealth and a secure future for themselves.
But we haven't saved nearly enough. And we haven't been all that smart with the money we have put aside.
We have a boat load of Baby Boomers — and Gen Xers right behind them — headed for an impoverished retirement.
And the often cited solution that they'll just continue to work?
Many workers are pushed into retirement before they're ready because they're laid off or they encounter health problems that makes it impossible to keep working.
A 2008 McKinsey & Co. study found that the median retirement age is 62.3 years old. That's not even the 65 number typically thrown around as retirement age.
They are almost certainly going to be more not less dependent on government programs for the poor and the elderly than current retirees.
Yet the debate in Washington is all about cutting — or even eliminating — those programs.
Break out the Alpo, grandma! Things are going to get ugly over the next couple of decades.

Listen to this article
The UK economy sometimes echoes one of comedian Eric Morecambe's most famous jokes: it has all the right companies, but not necessarily in the right places. While there are many great businesses in every part of the country, economic activity has in recent decades become more concentrated in London and south-east England.
The market, of course, decides where the best location is for companies to succeed. But the spotlight is firmly on regional businesses: the government wants the private sector to create jobs to replace at least 330,000 likely to be lost in the public sector over the next four years, notably in Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland and parts of northern England and the Midlands.
Corporate Britain, as it emerges from the recession, is not in bad shape. Insolvencies to date have been far lower than after previous recessions. Profitability is at its highest level since the beginning of 2009, and the corporate sector has built a substantial cash pile that can be deployed into new investment. But it has been tough, particularly for many small and medium-sized enterprises. There are difficult strategic decisions to take and the mood remains jittery.
"Bluntly, the further north you are and the smaller the region, the tougher it's been," says Lorna Moran, chief executive of Newcastle-based Northern Recruitment Group, which has offices in London, York, Edinburgh and Middlesbrough.
"A lot of our clients suffered badly," she says. "Many companies went bust, a lot did pre-packs [rapid administrations in which the operating assets are sold at a pre-arranged price] and a lot survived by the skin of their teeth."
Now they are hiring again, cautiously – in engineering, especially oil, gas and renewables, and in information technology. Turnover at NRG, which Ms Moran founded in 1976, is back above £20m ($32m) and profits rose 25 per cent in the past year.
Like many companies, NRG has had to adapt its business model. Bookings used to be split 50:50 between the public and private sectors, but now they are 80 per cent private sector. It also started running programmes for redundant executives.
At the start of the recession, many thought London and the south-east would be the worst hit, as a kind of punishment for their part in fuelling the financial bubble. But it was manufacturing and construction that felt the early onslaught, and manual workers in the West Midlands, Wales and parts of northern England who bore the brunt.
Things have evened out a bit since manufacturing started recovering, but there are signs of deterioration in some areas. Unemployment in north-east England has jumped to 10.2 per cent of the workforce, the UK's highest, with the West Midlands not far behind at 9.8 per cent.
For businesses, the geographical picture is more mixed. According to surveys by the British Chambers of Commerce, Scotland and London suffered the deepest drop in UK sales of services, while the West Midlands, Yorkshire and north-east England had the biggest fall in manufactured exports. All are at varying stages of recovery.
The problem is not the quality of regional businesses, but that they begin from a smaller base. For every private sector job generated in the north and Midlands between 1998 and 2008, 10 were created in London and the south, according to the Centre for Cities think-tank. Even if enterprise can be unleashed, it has a long way to go.
"The regions have actually performed relatively similarly, but sectors have performed very differently," says Sir Michael Bibby, managing director of Bibby Line Group, the Liverpool-based conglomerate. "The customer bases for a lot of businesses are more spread now, nationally and internationally."
Bibby Line Group's shipping and offshore businesses were hit, but its UK distribution and financial services businesses made record profits over the past year, while its Costcutter convenience-store chain has grown steadily. According to Sir Michael, demand for the company's debt factoring services by SMEs has been "astronomical" because of constraints on bank lending.
Sir Michael is the sixth generation of the family to run the UK's oldest surviving shipping company, which he has diversified into a group with a turnover of £1bn and interests ranging from logistics to supermarkets and burial sites. Of its 5,500 staff worldwide, fewer than 200 work in Liverpool and 4,800 around the UK. Over the long term, he is optimistic about job creation in the north but fears that a state-dependent city such as Liverpool will struggle to absorb public sector redundancies.
He says all UK businesses should have a contingency plan for surviving a double-dip recession. "It's going to be quite a tough time in the UK economy, but we are seeing strong growth still from overseas demand," he adds.
The recession has not so much changed Sir Michael's strategy as improved the chances of implementing it: he wants to make more acquisitions in areas such as logistics, and prices of target companies have come down. Bibby entered the recession debt free, having already sold its ships, but will gear up as bank debt becomes available.
Malcolm Edge, head of markets at KPMG, says the professional services firm advises medium-sized companies on debt restructuring – a big problem, with many needing to refinance this year and next. He tells clients to negotiate early.
"The supply of money is still tough. We find banks are quite aggressive in exiting markets, and when they do decide to stay in, the rate can be quite onerous," he says.
Banks say they are stepping up lending and investment, particularly to SMEs, as part of the Project Merlin deal with the government.
Mr Edge says there is a "massive nervousness" among companies about economic prospects, although he sees bright spots such as information technology and mail-order retailing. "You've got to batten down on your costs, but if you do just that, you are going to disappear," he says. "You've also got to look for new markets and opportunities."
He urges companies to plan for a range of scenarios, including rising inflation. "If you conclude under any reasonable scenario that your foundations are strong, that's a basis from which you can invest."
For John Hutt, chief executive of HTI, which claims to be the UK's biggest independent toy designer and maker, the recession has underlined the importance of exporting. Five years ago, nearly all his company's business was in the UK. Now a quarter of sales come from exporting to 73 countries, including the US and Australia, and he would like to raise that to 75 per cent over 3-5 years.
Founded in the 1950s, HTI is based in Fleetwood, Lancashire, but that has not impeded its expansion. It develops hundreds of lines, and invests in "hot" brands such as Hello Kitty as well as enduring ones such as Postman Pat and JCB.
"We feel that if we were to rely on the UK, we would be treading water for at least the next two years," Mr Hutt says. Half of HTI's 200 staff are in Fleetwood and half in Hong Kong, where it has a commercial hub. It does all its manufacturing in China but may consider doing some in Fleetwood in future for the European market. Sales grew by 12 per cent last year to £66m and are up another 10 per cent so far this year, helped by the retail sector's resilience and an emphasis on low prices.
Opportunities are there for companies with sound business models and strong balance sheets, but for some time the best prospects may lie overseas.

Cortical Plasticity Induced by Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation during Wakefulness Affects Electroencephalogram Activity during Sleep
Cortical Plasticity Induced by Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation during Wakefulness Affects Electroencephalogram Activity during Sleep - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
Sleep electroencephalogram EEG brain oscillations in the low-frequency range show local signs of homeostatic regulation after learning. Such increases and decreases of slow wave activity are limited to the cortical regions involved in specific task performance during wakefulness. Here, we test the hypothesis that reorganization of motor cortex produced by long-term potentiation LTP affects EEG activity of this brain area during subsequent sleep.
Methodology-Principal Findings
By pairing median nerve stimulation with transcranial magnetic stimulation over the contralateral motor cortex, one can potentiate the motor output, which is presumed to reflect plasticity of the neural circuitry. This paired associative stimulation increases M1 cortical excitability at interstimulus intervals of 25 ms. We compared the scalp distribution of sleep EEG power following paired associative stimulation at 25 ms to that following a control paradigm with 50 ms intervals. It is shown that the experimental manipulation by paired associative stimulation at 25 ms induces a 48% increase in amplitude of motor evoked potentials. This LTP-like potentiation, induced during waking, affects delta and theta EEG power in both REM and non-REM sleep, measured during the following night. Slow-wave activity increases in some frontal and prefrontal derivations and decreases at sites neighboring and contralateral to the stimulated motor cortex. The magnitude of increased amplitudes of motor evoked potentials by the paired associative stimulation at 25 ms predicts enhancements of slow-wave activity in prefrontal regions.
An LTP-like paradigm, presumably inducing increased synaptic strength, leads to changes in local sleep regulation, as indexed by EEG slow-wave activity. Enhancement and depression of slow-wave activity are interpreted in terms of a simultaneous activation of both excitatory and inhibitory circuits consequent to the paired associative stimulation at 25 ms.

On your wedding day, everything has to be perfect from the flowers to the color of the mother-of-the-bride dress. There are some wedding traditions you want to honor and incorporate into your own ceremony and reception. Of course, you want to be a standout bride with a wedding that shows your sense of style and flair. Some brides come up with elaborate themes while others go for awesome food menus or cutsie food stations. Here are some unique ideas for flower girls and ring bearers at your affordable Orlando wedding venue to help make your ceremony all your own.
Man's Best Friend
While you probably can't train your dog to toss rose petals onto the runner as he walks up the idea, you can attach ring boxes to his collar and let he be your furry ring bearer. Make sure that the wedding venue allows pups and alert wedding guests ahead of time in case anyone has severe allergies.
Grandmas in Flowing Gowns
If you don't have any young girls in your family, ask your grandmother and your fiancees grandmother to act as flower girls. Dress them in whimsical, flowing gowns to make them the hit of your procession. Grandmothers are as cute and well loved as little girls.
Teddy Bears
Instead of asking the ring bearer to bring down a boring white pillow with rings attached, affix the rings to a cute teddy bear. You can place them on the bow around the bear's neck. Make sure to have stuffed animal for each of you. Build-a-Bear lets you create stuffed animals and dress them in wedding clothes.
The Crystal Ballroom has several properties around Florida and offers reasonable rates for your dream wedding. Contact us today to schedule a tour.

Ten things you never knew about... banks
Yesterday was a bank holiday in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Today the banks are open again, so here are some bankable facts.
Lloyds Bank plc is a British retail and commercial bank with branches across England and Wales
1. Bank holidays were introduced in 1871 by the Bank Holidays Act of that year.
2. The original bank holidays in England, Wales and Ireland were Easter Monday, Whit Monday, the first Monday in August and Boxing Day. Christmas Day and Good Friday were already traditional holidays so were not included in the list.
3. The act was replaced in 1971 by the Banking and Financial Dealings Act which gave England eight holidays, Scotland nine and N Ireland ten.
4. St Andrew's Day in Scotland became a bank holiday in 2007.
5. Some US banks employ "wealth psychologists" to aid clients with problems caused by richness.
6. There are two Wells Fargo ATM machines in Antarctica, only one of which is in use at a time.
7. In 1994, robbers who had stolen £3.5 million from a bank in Japan sent them a thank-you note.
8. There is a bank in northern Italy that will take wheels of Parmesan cheese as security for loans.
9. The vaults of the Bank of England are opened by keys more than three feet long.
10. Stealing from a cash machine is classed as theft and carries a lower penalty than bank robbery.

Binary MLM – TANI BBB
We would like to thank you for coming to our site in search for "TANI BBB" online.
Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to research possibilities for making huge ammonts of money with various forms of online marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to endure the cryptocurrency marketplaces.Bitcoin architecture provides an informative example of how one might make lots of money in the cryptocurrency marketplaces. Bitcoin is an extraordinary intellectual and technical accomplishment, and it's generated an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But very few people understand that and miss out on quite successful business models made accessible because of the growing use of blockchain technology.
It is certainly possible, but it must be able to recognize opportunities regardless of market behavior. The market moves in relation to cost BTC … So even supposing it's in a BTC trend 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 acceptable.
It should be challenging to get more modest increases (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the way to read these Candlestick charts! And I discovered these two rules to be accurate: having modest increases is more rewarding than trying to fight up to the summit. Most day traders follow Candlestick, therefore it is better to take a look at books than wait for order confirmation when you believe the cost is going down. Second, there is more volatility and reward in monies that have not made it to the profitability 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! Viewers incremental increases are more reliable and profitable (most times)
Hybrid Network Marketing – TANI BBB
The physical Internet backbone that carries data between the various nodes of the network has become the work of several firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes firms that offer long distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local conduit, which ultimately joins in homes and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only happen through one of these ISPs, players like degree 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP runs its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private firms, and sometimes by Governments, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move 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 businesses who desire to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the information to flow without interruption, in the right spot at the right time.
While none of these organizations possesses the Internet collectively these firms decide how it operates, and established rules and standards that everyone stays. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that is taking place 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 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 for connecting to and with her. Concern over security issues? A working group is formed to focus on the problem and the solution developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you've got someone to phone to get it mended. If the problem is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in place and service level agreements, which regulate the manner in which these problems are resolved.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain is not regulated by any centered firm. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that is something that as a devoted promoter badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet functions. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that regulate how it works present inherent problems to the user. Blockchain technology has none of that.
You've probably seen this many times where you usually spread the great word about crypto. It's not volatile? What goes on if the price accidents? to date, several POS programs presents free conversion of fiat, alleviating some worry, but before volatility cryptocurrencies is resolved, most people is going to be unwilling to put up any. We must find a method to struggle the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies.
Ethereum is an incredible cryptocurrency platform, nevertheless, if growth is too fast, there may be some problems. If the platform is adopted quickly, Ethereum requests could rise drastically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the entire stage of Ethereum could become destabilized due to the raising costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum stage and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether may result in an adverse change in the economic parameters of an Ethereum based business that may lead to business being unable to continue to operate or to discontinue operation.
For most users of cryptocurrencies it's not crucial to comprehend how the process functions in and of itself, but it's basically vital that you comprehend that there's a process of mining to create virtual money. Unlike currencies as we understand them now 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 program, which solves the complex algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation.

Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others have now been designed as a non-fiat currency. Quite simply, its backers contend that there is real value, even through there isn't any physical representation of that value. The value grows due to computing power, that's, 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 period which is worth an ever decreasing amount of currency or some sort of wages so that you can ensure the deficit. Each coin consists of many smaller components. 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 saved on a computer. The blockchain is where the public record of trades lives.
The fact that there is little evidence of any growth in using 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 small for cryptocurrencies to warrant any regulatory effort. It is also possible the regulators just don't comprehend the technology and its consequences, expecting any developments to act.
The wonder of the cryptocurrencies is that scam was proved an impossibility: due to the character of the protocol by which it's transacted. All deals on a crypto currency blockchain are irreversible. As soon as youare paid, you get paid. This is not something shortterm wherever your customers could dispute or demand a discounts, or employ unethical sleight of hand. Used, most professionals will be wise to use a transaction processor, because of the irreversible character of crypto currency dealings, you must make certain that security is tricky. With any form of crypto currency may it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or any of the numerous other altcoins, thieves and hackers might get access to your individual keys and so steal your money. Sadly, you most likely will never have it back. It's vitally important for you yourself to adopt some very good safe and sound techniques when coping with any cryptocurrency. This can guard you from all of these damaging events.
In the case of the fully functioning cryptocurrency, it may perhaps be traded as being a commodity. Promoters of cryptocurrencies proclaim this form of digital income is not controlled with a central banking system and is not thus subject to the whims of its inflation. Because there are a restricted quantity of items, this money's benefit is based on market forces, allowing homeowners to business over cryptocurrency trades.
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 create more. The mining process is what makes more of the coin. It may be useful to consider the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are the same. Mining crypto coins means you'll really get to keep the full benefits of your efforts, but this reduces your chances of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members will have a greater possibility of solving a block, but the reward will be split between all members of the pool, based on the amount of shares won.
If you're considering going it alone, it's worth noting that the applications settings for solo mining can be more complex than with a swimming pool, and beginners would be probably better take the latter course. This option also creates a stable flow of earnings, even if each payment is small compared to fully block the reward.

Bitcoin is the main cryptocurrency of the web: 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 governments, banks, or some other regulatory agencies. Therefore, it is more immune to crazy inflation and corrupt banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the protection and privacy hazards. Security and privacy can easily be attained by just being intelligent, 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 in the wallets and thus keeping you anonymous.
Since one of the oldest forms of making money is in cash lending, it is a fact that you can do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the giving websites currently focus on Bitcoin, some of those websites you're needed fill in a captcha after a certain time frame and are rewarded with a small quantity of coins for visiting them. It is possible to see the www.cryptofunds.co website to locate some lists of of these websites to tap into the currency of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin marketplaces have very different dynamics. New ones are constantly popping up which means they don't have lots of market data and historical perspective for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have somewhat poor liquidity as well and it is hard to think of a fair investment strategy.
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 in addition they participate in more elaborate smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a trade to be supported by the network, but where a certain number of a defined group of people agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This permits progressive 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 methods, the blockchain consistently leaves public proof a transaction occurred. This can be potentially used in a appeal against businesses with deceptive practices.
This mining activity validates and records the transactions across the entire network. So if you're attempting to do something illegal, it is not recommended because everything is recorded in the public register for the remainder of the world to see eternally.
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 amount of bitcoins that are really circulating in the exchanges. Moreover, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Thus, even the most diligent buyer couldn't purchase all existing bitcoins. This situation is not to imply that markets will not be vulnerable to price exploitation, yet there exists no requirement for large sums of cash to transfer market prices up or down. The merest events in the world market can affect the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency volatile.

Los Angeles Warrants and the LawPosted on: August 19, 2009 at 7:37 a.m.
In Los Angeles, a warrant usually refers to a specific type of authorization issued by a judge or magistrate which gives law enforcement the ability to perform an otherwise illegal act, such as coming into a home without authorization.

The United States was founded on principles of individual liberty, and limiting the power of the federal, state and local governments from harassing citizens. Illegal search and seizure is a legitimate violation, something the courts and the citizenry should take very seriously. In Los Angeles, the legal system is structured to have checks and balances so that government power does not overstep its limits and violate both the state and federal Constitutions. When the police go to a judge to obtain a warrant, which is a clear symbol of the system of checks and balances designed to protect average citizens.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — He's a product of the Arsenal system and now he is this week's guest on the KYW Philly Soccer Show. Union striker Jay Simpson sits down with KYW's Greg Orlandini and Philly Soccer Page writer Mike Servedio.
Simpson is starting his first year in Philadelphia, signing from Leyton Orient in England's League Two. He's coming off a career year last year, scoring 25 goals for Orient . Jay talks about making the switch from English soccer to MLS and the adjustment that comes with the move to a new league and country. He also discusses what it is like so far in training camp, where he is competing with last year's starter CJ Sapong and Charlie Davies at the striker spot.
Then, Greg and Mike talk about the injury to defender Josh Yaro. The young centerback is set to miss 3 to 4 months after successful shoulder surgery. The Union do have some cover at that spot, with the recent signing of veteran defender Oguchi Onyewu.

Tell A Story
One major disadvantage for e-commerce brands around the globe is that, they never get to meet and interact directly with their customers. As a result, it becomes difficult for these brands to know what exactly do their customers expect from them. So in order to connect with your customers, as an e-commerce brand, you need to think out of the box and help these potential customers understand the value of doing business with you.
One of the best ways of doing this and get the people to talk about your ecommerce brand,your ecommerce website development and what your business does, is to narrate some great stories about your company, the work you do, your products, customers and everything else. The more you tell, the better it gets. Such stories not only help you in building trust with your customers, but also nurture the relationship and ultimately convinces the visitors to buy your products. Stories that talk about your origin, how your products are created and who are the customers who buy these products are the kinds which can be quite intriguing.

GTA IV EraEdit
The Grand Theft Auto IV Era refers to a current and ongoing canonical era of Grand Theft Auto games. These games are grouped together mainly because they have interlinking characters, storylines, and locations, specifically GTA IV's rendition of Liberty City and the state of Alderney. This is also known as the fourth generation of GTA games released from 2008 to present.
Locations in the GTA IV Era[1]EditEdit
State of Liberty[2]EditEdit
State of Alderney[3]EditEdit
State of San Andreas[4]EditEdit
State of Florida[5]EditEdit
Chronological release list[7]EditEdit
- Grand Theft Auto IV (2008)
- The Lost and Damned (2009)
- Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars (2009)
- The Ballad of Gay Tony (2009)
Chronological plot list[8]EditEdit
- Grand Theft Auto IV (2008)
- The Lost and Damned (2008)
- The Ballad of Gay Tony (2008)
- Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars (2009)
Games in the GTA IV Era[9]EditEdit
Grand Theft Auto IV[10]EditEdit
Grand Theft Auto IV (2008) is set in Liberty City in 2008. It was the first GTA game to be released simultaneously for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles. In August 2008, Rockstar announced that they were going to publish GTA IV for PC. GTA IV's game engine is the Rockstar Advanced Game Engine (also known as RAGE) used in Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis and the Euphoria physics engine. The game takes place in a redesigned Liberty City that very closely resembles New York City, much more than previous renditions. The protagonist is Niko Bellic, a 30 year old war veteran from the Balkans.
Grand Theft Auto: The Lost and Damned[11]EditEdit
The Lost and Damned (2009) is the first of the two episodes for GTA IV. The DLC version of TLAD requires the original GTA IV to play and is also available on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. It is included in Episodes from Liberty City, which does not require GTA IV. TLAD's storyline runs alongside the main GTA IV storyline and the protagonist is Johnny Klebitz, Vice President of the Alderney Chapter of The Lost Brotherhood.
Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony[12]EditEdit
The Ballad of Gay Tony (2009) is the second episode released for GTA IV. Like TLAD, the DLC version requires the original GTA IV to play, but it is also included in the standalone Episodes From Liberty City. TBoGT's storyline also ties in with the main GTA IV storyline, as well as TLAD. The protagonist is Luis Fernando Lopez, and the story follows him and his boss Gay Tony, who is losing his proprietorship in his clubs in the city. This game completes the GTA IV Era trinity.
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars[13]EditEdit
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars (2009) is set in Liberty City based on the GTA IV rendition, in the year 2009. It is the first Grand Theft Auto game to be released on the Nintendo DS, and was announced at the E3 Nintendo Press Conference on July 15, 2008. This game has several new features, such as touch screen mini-games. It is also available on the Sony PSP and Apple iPhone/iPod Touch. The PSP version features drastically improved graphics.
The game focuses on the Triads, and protagonist Huang Lee, the twenty-five year old nephew of Lee Family head Wu Lee. The game's storyline does not intertwine with those of GTA IV and its episodes, nor is it part of the trinity that connects them, leading some to question its canonicity.
- All of the protagonists can swim.
- So far, the GTA IV Era has only featured Liberty City as a playable location.
- All of the GTA IV protagonists (Niko, Johnny and Luis) can be killed in a cross-over mission by one of the other protagonists. Niko can Kill Luis in Three Leaf Clover, Luis can kill Niko in Ladies Half Price, and Johnny in Not So Fast. Niko and Johnny can kill each other in Museum Piece and Collector's Item respectively.
- But, Johnny cannot kill Luis in any mission in The Lost and Damned despite being in the same game.

Although we've never met
yet your loss has placed in my life a permanent dent.
The brief time I heard of you and seen you on screen,
has made me believe in humanity once again.
Your debates, your speeches, your points of view,
though I disagreed with some but respected your truths.
I've recently come to Canada and made it my home,
out of all the political figures I've followed, you've stood out the most.
You put a human face to a business that's been known to be full of lies and deceit,
and put our faith back in a system which lots thought was obsolete.
With these few humble words on paper I say farewell to thee,
for it's because of people like you that I feel like I belong with my new kin.
Farewell Mr. Layton may you rest in Eternal peace,
And may God give strength and patience to your family, close friends and all those who loved you deep……..

According to the Mayo Clinic, Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is chronic inflammation and deep lesions of the skin, particularly in sensitive areas of the armpits and groin. Possible causes are thought to involve a combination of genetics, hormones, and other factors. HS may impact 1-2% of the population, but absolute numbers are uncertain. Given how relatively rare this medical condition is, our attorneys at Hoglund Law Offices have successfully represented a surprising number of clients with Hidradenitis Suppurativa in Social Security Disability benefits claims. Our clients have typically worked for over ten years or more with symptoms before succumbing to the progressive lesions and pain despite surgical intervention. How does Social Security Disability evaluate Hidradenitis Suppurativa? Social Security verifies the diagnosis first.
In my experience, records usually carry ongoing primary care treatment for recurring boils that require in-office lancing. Of concern, I have seen some medical record histories that initially fail to specifically diagnose HS until these lesions have persisted in various forms and locations for a few years. There are possible reasons for this that I address below. Social Security reviews Hidradenitis Suppurativa claims under a special definition of disability called a listing.
Here is the "listing" that Social Security applies to claims based on Hidradenitis Suppurativa:
8.06 Hidradenitis suppurativa, with extensive skin lesions involving both axillae, both inguinal areas or the perineum that persist for at least 3 months despite continuing treatment as prescribed.

Learning to DJ is now considered part secondary education and counts toward a student's General Certificate Secondary Education (GCSE) in the UK.
According to , the new qualification is now possible due to turntables, CDJs and other DJ gear now being recognized as formal instruments by examination boards.
In light this, two pressional DJs in Austen and Scott Smart have developed a DJ curriculum that is inspiring students to pursue music.
Austen and Scott are finding that music is helping students become more interested in the overall learning process schooling: "We're also seeing a lot students who are not just maybe disengaged from the music department, but potentially disengaged from the rest the school. I believe that we are able to connect with them, with the music that they get."
This education business, which is called , is currently sending pressional DJs to tutor kids throughout the UK. Their mission "is simply to get more young people into music, and in turn more students taking GCSE and A-Level Music."
Watch the video below to see how the classes are impacting youth in the UK.

Charcoal sketch of Anya
http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/liz-balkwill/charcoal-sketch-of-anya/129590 This is a preliminary sketch for a portrait I am about to start of a young swedish girl called Anya. Her father is a well known painter, so she is well accustomed to modelling. She was keen to earn some extra cash before continuing her travelling. I Have got most of the preparatory work done now, and feel I have got to know the typography of her face, I am ready to starting a portrait of her in oil.

|Alston to Greenhead
|Back to Pennine Way index
|Housteads to Bellingham
|9.3 miles / 14.9 km
|Total ascent:
|1873 ft / 571 m
|Total descent:
|1415 ft / 431 m
|Estimated time:
|3 hrs 38 mins
Beyond Caw gap the wall reverts to common drystone again. The land rises in the first of three waves as it approaches the highest altitude of the day's hike, the 1230 ft summit of Winshields Crag. This three-pitch ascent is gradual, spread out along a further mile, during which the wall changes nature several times between English drystone, drystone using Roman masonry, Roman wall rebuilt dry, and Roman wall built (or rebuilt) with mortar. Towards the top, at a little col a side path goes off to Winshields Farm about half a mile to the southeast, The summit, when you eventually reach it, proves to be a superb viewpoint.
Looking back to the west you can see all of the day's hike so far, and much of yesterday's walk in
addition. The profile of Wain Rigg is prominent,with
the obvious pimple of Highside standing out on the skyline. It's still just possible to make
out the trig pillar on its summit, and this is at a distance of nine
miles. Behind the Rigg and slightly to the left is the
vaster and higher sprawl of Cold Fell, and the line of the high
Pennines can be clearly seen stretching away southwards. Cross Fell itself is
vaguely visible in a dip in the skyline slightly west of south.
To the east you can see the
remainder of the day's
walk, notably the rippled profiles of Peel Crag and Housteads Crag, and
three bodies of water (Crag Lough, Broomlee Lough and Greenlee Lough.
To the southeast, about a mile off, is the lone building of Once Brewed
youth hostel, standing by a crossroads.

Hello people.
Good Evening all of the blue blooded ilk, hope the week has treated you sweetly so far and you're heading towards the weekend on a soft and fluffy cloud that's soundtracked by the sounds of harp wielding, Raw Denim wearing angels. It's up to you whether they're wearing boots, in my head they're not but hey-ho!
But enough of that crap…back to biz.
As you, hopefully already, know this week we have focused on our buddy Isaac from @pigeontreecrafting. On Monday we focussed on his awesome one-man '…Brand…' PTC which you can read HERE and tonight we speak to Isaac about Isaac!
For anybody that doesn't know @clobbercalm and PTC hooked up to do a collaboration belt called the PT3xC, that you can click through to below, and from the moment we nailed that we have spoken weekly about various topics and have continued to establish a true friendship, that I hope personally grows more and more as the future unfolds.
I think a lot of peeps probably only think of rad leather goods when they think of the PTC feed but on a 10@10 level this feed is so much more. Isaac is an avid denim head with an incredible eye for detail and in my opinion his personal denim interests were as much of a priority to get on the 10@10 as his one man brand.
Guys this is where I pass this shizzle over to Isaac to entertain for the next 10 minutes or so which means it's time to sit back, relax, crack open a bevvie (I'm on Pilsner Urquell right now) and listen to the thoughts of Isaac as, for the second time this week, @pigeontreecrafting answers the @clobbercalm 10@10.
NAME: Isaac Paul aka @pigeontreecrafting
LOCATION: Los Angeles, CA
OCCUPATION: Small Business Owner (Pigeon Tree Crafting)
1. So Why Instagram?
I played around with Instagram for years, mostly posting my hobby photography shots and meals that I'd cook, but it wasn't until I discovered the rich denim community on Instagram that I really found my place! I started posting pictures of my favorite denim pieces and outfits, and I found myself welcomed with opened arms into the community. I made friends, exchanged compliments, and drew inspiration.
2. Why Denim, Boots, Workwear, Ruggedness?
For me, it's ALWAYS been jeans. Since my mid teens, I don't think I ever wore anything but! Even living in Los Angeles, where it can get quite hot, I was always the guy in jeans. I don't even own shorts that aren't meant for swimming. Back in 2011 I was living in Glassel Park, a couple of miles away from Eagle Rock; that's where I discovered raw denim, in a shop by the name of Rising Sun Jeans. It didn't happen immediately however, because I couldn't afford the jeans at the time. I ended up getting a gift card for Nordstrom not long after though, and after a failed attempt of finding anything worth buying in the Nordstrom B&M, I took to online, and you guessed it- they had Rising Sun Jeans- and on sale too! I was so amazed, it felt like destiny. I ordered a pair of Straight Razors, one of their slimmer cuts, but when the package arrived, it was a pair of Blacksmith, a heritage piece with suspender buttons and all. As cool as they were, I wanted the Straight Razors; I called up Rising Sun and spoke to a woman named Khue, she told me to come in and they'd be happy to make the swap. The rest is history.
3. What are your thoughts on the rise in popularity of "Instafashion" and the community it is creating?
The Instagram fashion community, specifically the denim community, is full of interesting people who are connected by so much more than just denim; it's a lifestyle that's based on expression, individuality, and the hunt for quality. I can say with absolute certainty that I wouldn't have started my brand if it weren't for the denim community on Instagram. The community is strong and continuing to grow without dilution, brands are being pushed to create better, longer lasting goods, and the more people that get involved, the more we will all flourish, both as consumers and makers.
4. Top 3 brands to shop and why?
Rising Sun Jeans, the brand that truly started it all for me. I have so many pieces from them, it's rare that you'll spot me without at least one article from RS!
Pure Blue Japan, the first piece of Japanese denim that I've ever owned, and I love it (the type II deep Indigo Jacket). I was nervous about venturing out into Japanese denim because of possible fit issues, but if you are diligent with checking measurements, you'll be fine!
Samurai Jeans, I don't have any denim from these guys yet, but I have two flannels that are among my favorite shirts ever, and they both have indigo in them, so they're faders too!
5. Where's your favourite place to shop these brands?
I'm a huge online shopper. The amount of packages that I have coming to my doorstep is laughable. My business is based online, and nearly all of my materials are ordered online as well, so when you add in any sort of personal online shopping that I do, it's crazy. I have not yet had to buy boxes for my business, I recycle EVERYTHING. When not buying new, I love hunting vintage as well, vintage shops, flea markets, yard sales, you name it, and I'll hunt it!
6. When did you decide to voice and share your love for your threads on social media?
I had been approached by Rising Sun to do some modeling for them. Neck down, fit-type stuff for their site and wholesale. One of the things they liked about me when I first met them, was that their jeans didn't need to be hemmed to fit me! It pretty much started around then, I had access to all of these great shots of me in my favorite brand, and I wanted to help with promoting their brand, so I started posting shots that they took as well as shots that I would take of various outfits.
7. What's the secret behind your great images; Who takes them? When are they taken? How do you capture the magic your followers enjoy so much?
Most of my shots are taken with my iPhone! Every once in a while, I'll do a shoot with my Canon 5D, I have a photography background, so I have some pretty sick lenses. My girlfriend is usually kind enough to help me out with the shots!
8. What feeds do you like to follow and check in on? Who should we check out?
Some of my favorite feeds have also become some of my best friends on Instagram – people that I look forward to meeting one day, or have already met! In no particular order, and without creating a wall of text: @vorstenbos, @denimhound, @yonagrinberg, @selvedge1, @illcutz, @sennah0j (omg it took me way too long to realize it was his name backwards!), @laermkulisse (this dude made the most amazing photoshop of a bunch of denimheads to celebrate his 500th post, you should go check it out!) and @clobbercalm of course!
9. What tips would you give new starters on Instagram to help them get there feed off the ground and successful?
If you want to work your way into the community, just start posting and don't overthink it! Don't try to fit anyone else's aesthetic, be yourself and your own unique identity will speak volumes. Tag the brands that you're wearing, and use hashtags too! Be interactive, start with the InstagrammersI listed if you need help, and like photos that you like, and comment on photos that you really like. Once you get some followers, use the story feature too! It's a lot of fun.
10. And Lucky Last, it's a quick fire 10@10…
Raw denim or true vintage fades? Raw denim! I love starting with a crisp pair and fading them myself.
High rise or low rise? Mid-rise. Preferably with pockets deep enough to actually fit a whole cell phone…
Japan made or USA made? USA made denim will always have my heart, but lately I've been flirting with Japanese denim; it's exotic, and I love how the Japanese see beauty in imperfections (wabisabi), so they're usually the ones to come out with insane neppy/slubby fabrics.
Skinny fit or slim fit? Slim fit definitely. I like a slim silhouette, but I also like to be able to move around.
Slim straight or straight standard? I like a little taper, but sometimes a vintage fit is a nice change.
12oz or 21oz? 12oz. The highest weight denim I have is 16oz, and it feels substantial. Maybe if I didn't live in sunny Cali I'd feel differently.
Popcorn or chips? Popcorn if it's Kettle Corn, chips otherwise. Or do you mean french fries, because you're english? Because in that case, chips always!
Arnie or Stallone? Oh man. GOOD ONE. Gotta give it to my man Arnold, because of Predator, Total Recall and Kindergarten Cop, but Stallone absolutely kills it in Rocky and Rambo.
Goonies or Breakfast Club? Goonies all the way. HEYYYY YOUUUUU GUYYYYYYYS!
Nirvana or Guns N' Roses? I grew up listening to Nirvana, I was only 8 when he passed, but I remember when it happened. I was the kid with a walkman listening to tapes of Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, Oasis, Violent Femmes, Cake, Rage Against the Machine etc. on the elementary school playground.
Ok so in Isaac we have an ex-skater, leather craftsman who loves; The Goonies, Arnie, Raw Denim, vintage (or should I say hunting vintage) and indigo. Plus, to top it all off he's based over in the sun-soaked landscapes of LA. Sounds like a life worth living Isaac. You enjoy it bro, PTC deserves all the success it earns and hopefully we will achieve a few more PT3xC collaboration belt sales off the back of this awesome week we have had with you here on the 10@10.
Keep rocking brother, no doubt we will chat again very soon!
So moving on, just wanted to say thanks to all the dudes and dudettes that bought into all the @clobbercalm collabs we have been doing over the past 6 months. It's been an absolute blast and extremely humbling to see products we have been involved with get shipped all around the world. Very awesome!
Anyway dudes have a tip-top evening and a cracking weekend and I'll catch you all on Saturday for April's update of @clobbercalm.threadsnfades2017. A bit of a curveball heading your way this weekend regards the project so tune in and make sure to check it out.
Stay close brothers. Stay close.
Ben @clobbercalm.
