Volunteering for a Cause
This post was written by Shivani P. in response to the Day 24 Challenge: Schedule a time to volunteer and commit to seeing it through.
Volunteering, more often than not, is an engaging and fulfilling activity. However, when taking college into account, volunteering becomes more of another item on your list to excel at and less of a charitable act. There is a constant pressure to volunteer enough hours and volunteer for meaningful organizations, essentially pressuring us to weigh the true worth of the organizations we volunteer for. With college applications sent out, the pressure has significantly decreased, and it is safe to say that volunteering is a much more enjoyable activity. I have taken several steps to support local causes.
Earlier this month, all of the leads in SACA (Students for Asian Cultural Awareness), including me, decided to get together and have a fundraiser for a local charity in honor of this challenge. The charity we selected is called Anubuthi. Anubuthi is a charity that focuses on providing children in India with a welcoming atmosphere, allowing them to thrive educationally. Their main focus is instilling lifelong learning habits and providing them with technical resources that enable them to succeed. Anubhuti strives to enlighten children about inherent perfection to create a better society and believe that "education is a journey to character building and [is a] process that does not stop at school." They aspire to remove any financial constraints that may keep children from pursuing an education and simultaneously empower families to become self sufficient. Another focus of Anubhuti is to empower women. Anubhuti runs a self help group called Kamdhenu for stay-at-home home mothers that focuses on helping these women market and sell products.
In addition to this charity, I began trying to volunteer for some more local events. I signed up to help out the musical for the past few shows a few weeks ago for NHS. While this was a local cause, it was still through an organization I had to fulfill a volunteer requirement for, so I looked into volunteering at the local food pantry. I'm excited to keep searching for more local causes I can volunteer for!
A Conscientious Community
This post was written by Rachel B. in response to the Day 18 challenge action: Share your ideas about what it means to be a responsible citizen in 21st century America.
In our society it's easy to get caught up in the capitalistic materialism of mainstream America, especially in today's age with social media's grip on the American community. Unfortunately, the results of materialistic America are detrimental to what it means to be a responsible citizen, in that many people forget to treat others fairly and with kindness. However, I believe that we can change American society if more people become involved in trying to be a responsible citizen. In 21st century America, citizens who promote equality and support a community in which conscientiousness and kindness is the norm, I believe that more people will understand what it means to be a responsible citizen, and change American society for the better. The 30 Day Challenge exposes students to what it means to be a responsible citizen, so that we will be equipped with the tools we need to understand equity, moral goodness, and respect, furthering the goal of creating an accepting community.
Within our community, there are many traits that make up what a responsible citizen should be, such as someone who is fair, understanding, cooperative, and loyal. These traits are important, as it is easy to get caught up in the constant arguments of today's divided society, especially when politics are involved. However, I have experienced the conversations between responsible citizens regarding politics, from two citizens with opposing views, and it was respectful and calm, and both parties were willing to listen to the other. This experience was eye-opening, as many conversations about politics result in ruined relationships, anger, and hatred, especially from two opposing political parties. However, each side let the other speak, and I asked questions, to clarify some points that were being made. I encourage others to participate in this experience as responsible citizens, because we can show the rest of the community that politics don't have to result in arguments from opposing political parties. Responsible citizens are able to have these intellectual conversations, or at least work hard to learn how to have them. I believe that if more people have polite conversations, then American society can eliminate a factor that provokes violence and hatred in the community.
Furthermore, responsible citizens are aware of the divisions within America's society, and as citizens we can promote a community that is a whole unit so that hostility can be avoided. An issue within American society is the lines that divide citizens such as political parties, races and ethnicities, regions and locations. Thus, responsible citizens see through these lines, and rather than dividing people into groups, we understand how to form a community in which no one person feels threatened for their beliefs, customs, or way of life. Thus, I believe that responsible citizens can look through the hostility, and put an end to racism and discrimination.
Ultimately, responsible citizens must understand justice, equality, community, diversity, and liberty, and know how they can use these ideas to make society a better place. In a perfect world, everyone would agree on everything, there would be no discrimination, and people of all races and religions would be able to experience equality. Unfortunately, perfect worlds don't exist. However, I believe that with the work of responsible citizens, we can create an environment in which people of American society can feel more comfortable being themselves, and put an end to the divisions that separate Americans and create hostility. The 30 Day Challenge shows students what it means to be a responsible citizen so that we can begin our experience of helping others to create an inspiring and loyal community.

This post was written by Meghan M. in response to the Day 22 Challenge Action: Commit a random act of kindness.
On Day 22 of the BHS Responsible Citizenship Challenge, students were asked to commit a random act of kindness. This challenge action was incorporated into the 30-Day Challenge in order to promote community and spirit throughout our high school, town, and beyond. As a participant of the challenge, I reflected on my daily routines and decided that in addition to holding the door for someone, giving a compliment, or granting an act of kindness that is just part of daily interactions, I would do something different. After thinking about what it meant to grant a random act of kindness, I decided to participate in the challenge by paying it forward and buying a coffee for the car behind me in the Dunkin' Donuts drive thru. After completing this action, I was able to see just how easy it was to improve someone's day. When driving away, I noticed the woman smile and wave appreciatively. Paying for a stranger's coffee took little time out of my own day and knowing I did something nice for someone is a pleasure in itself. I felt prideful when I saw how my simple action changed someone's day for the better, as well fascinated as to how a simple, random act of kindness connects to the upholding of democratic values in America. My hope is that the woman behind me did the same and bought a coffee for the car behind her.
Simple actions as such do a great deal in the promotion of community. Seeing that others care about you enough, care about the idea of community enough to treat people with kindness is inspiring. Seeing others' reactions to these acts of kindness exemplifies the importance of community. When people feel part of a caring community, part of a group that's all working together, all trying to achieve the same thing - happiness - we can make an actual difference. People's lives and attitudes can be changed. Acts of kindness aim to support unity. By lightening up someone's day, we work to break down the negativity and separation individuals are facing in today's world. The BHS 30-Day Challenge aims to promote interaction with others in order to advocate for the advancement of social justice. Through small acts like this, we can see the impact of treating others with care. We can see how seemingly trivial actions have big results. We can work towards building a better community.
Talking is Caring
This post was written by Sidra A. in response to the Day 9 challenge action: to engage in a respectful dialogue with someone who holds different political views than you do.
This challenge required students to engage in conversation with people of differing political views, or any views in general. Our English class went down to the lower library to complete this action by participating in the "conversation stations" activity. These stations included questions and discussion prompts that were designed to help us talk about important issues without immediately focusing on the politics surrounding them. For example, one of the questions asked: "What are the most important factors in maintaining a well functioning society? What does it mean for a society to function well?" Others inquired about our feelings on art, technology, and the environment. Though each topic is one currently being debated in the political arena, the questions asked us to really consider what we think about these topics before we attach them to politics. It helped to prompt thoughtfulness and discussion.
We attended each conversation station with different people and were able to hear their views and present ours as well. It was a safe and friendly environment where students felt comfortable to speak their minds. We may all be different, look different, think different, but we all bleed red. In essence, we all are the same, equal. We must respect our differences and overcome them in order to gain friendship rather than allow them to become obstacles in our lives. Having conversation is the most engaging way to learn about someone, to find similarities and understand differences, and to determine how to work together. Talking is caring.
Going Green
This post was written by Melanie S. in response to the Day 17 Challenge: Go Green. Be vigilant about limiting your ecological footprint.
In this day and age, attention to the environment is critical; however, many people fail to think about their ecological impact. Carelessly throwing away excess food, plastic, and paper products, the accumulating landfill has certainly taken a toll on the world around us. Many do not realize that recycling, buying fewer consumer products, or even using washable containers in lieu of plastic bags can drastically reduce our ecological footprint on the planet. Let me backtrack a little so you may understand the concept of an ecological footprint. This concept is the amount of human impact on the planet, which is measured individually or as a community. The more eco-friendly an individual is, the smaller footprint that individual has on the environment.
On March 17, St. Paddy's Day, the challenge action was to go green and be vigilant about your ecological footprint. Burlington High School students were encouraged to be aware of their impact on the environment and research environmental scientists who examined the ecological footprint. This day was a more difficult day for me because I already recycle plastic and paper products so I had to think of new and innovative ways to reduce my ecological footprint. I looked up an ecological footprint calculator and began my exploration. As the website asked me questions, I began to realize how simple it was to reduce my impact. For example, buying locally grown foods, eating lower on the food chain, and even starting a compost in my backyard can lower Carbon Dioxide emissions from transporting the products, reduce excess waste from bones and fat, and adding nutrients back into the soil. Other things such as making fresh squeezed fruit instead of buying juice (throwing out the container) and turning off the lights when certain rooms are not in use greatly reduces your environmental impact.
This challenge encouraged thinking outside of the box and being aware of yourself and everything around you, which is something that we learned when reading The Reluctant Fundamentalist. Though this novel does not address environmental issues at all, it does highlight the importance of awareness, of being conscious of your beliefs and behavior, of understanding your impact on the people and places around you. The novel - one that addresses issues of class; echoes Gatsby in its presentation of the dangers of nostalgia; and provides a critical view of racism, Islamophobia, xenophobia, and patriotism - really helped to open our eyes. Thinking about how we develop our beliefs, as well as our habits and behaviors extends beyond the thematic topics of the book. What we do as individuals impacts others. Our actions can make a difference.
The Go Green challenge action was interesting, informative, and beneficial. It served as an important gateway to making the world a better, safer place. More importantly, it prompted thought about how we live and how our decisions affect others.
I Scream/Ice Cream for Equality
The following post was written by Erin H. in response to the Day 16 Challenge Action: Attend an event that promotes equal rights for all.
Day 16 of the 30 Day Challenge was to attend an event that promotes equal rights for all. On this day, the Devils' Playlist teamed up with us to host an equity event in the cafeteria where anyone and everyone could come and be part of the community as we shared ice cream, listened to some music, and talked about equality. Students who attended the event also had the opportunity to sign our pledge committing to act as a responsible citizen and to promote the values of equality, justice, diversity, liberty, and community.
While attending this event I was pleasantly surprised by the number of people who came to support our cause. As I looked around the room I noticed that there were so many different people - people from different backgrounds with different ideas and different thoughts. There were people there who I have never seen before, and people who I have know for all four years of high school. We were all together in one place to support the same cause. In such a diverse school I think it is important to know that so many people do support equality and are committed to understanding what it means to be a responsible citizen. When waiting in line to sign the pledge I found myself talking to the people next to me even if I did not know them. As we talked about the music, what kind of ice cream we liked, and what we think about equality, I realized we had more in common than I thought. Even with so many different students it was easy to find similarities with people who used to be strangers to me. By acting on this challenge action we were able to share a nice moment with people we might not have talked to otherwise, and discuss why we were there. It was comforting to learn that our efforts to promote responsible citizenship wouldn't end with this project, that the students of BHS really want to continue the work.
When I asked people what they thought about the event, they all said that they support the cause. In fact, when I asked one of my friends about it, her response was: "I think it's great! Doesn't everyone support equality?" This response made me start to think; it is just about everyone's assumption that we all support equality, but that's not necessarily true. There is a lot of injustice in the world and a lot of work we need to do. I soon realized how lucky we are to be in this high school and this town where we can express freely what we think. I started to ask people if they believe that we moving towards a more equal world today. Most people agreed, while others argued that though we might see more movements towards equality today, there isn't equality everywhere. Inequities exist. We are becoming more aware of them, but we need to do more. As responsible citizens we need to support events like so we can become more conscious of our world, engage in conversations that make us think and determine how we can best work to make our world a place that is equal for all.
Food with Friends
The following post was written by Will W. in response to the Day 15 Challenge Action: Sit at a different table in the cafeteria at lunch. Break social boundaries and maybe make some new friends.
For Day 15 of the Responsible Citizenship Challenge, I was tasked with sitting at a different table at lunch with a new group of kids. I decided that not only was I going to sit with kids from a different social group, I was going to sit with kids from an entirely different culture. This year at BHS, we have a handful of students who have transferred here from different countries. We have two students from Italy, one student from Brazil and one student from China. Interestingly, they all choose to eat lunch together. Despite coming from different corners of the globe, they all find a common ground in their experiences as newcomers to America.
High school cafeterias are a perfect illustration of the cultural division in society. While it may seem like everyone is merely sitting with their friends, a quick observation will reveal the clear social groups. Students subconsciously group themselves by ethnicity, academic ability, extracurricular activities, or perceived "popularity". I found myself guilty of this grouping myself, as I tend to sit exclusively with students from the band. The goal of Day 15 was to break down these divisions, even if just for a day. In my 20 minutes with a new set of students I realized I had more in common with them than I could have ever imagined.
Honestly, I went into lunch bracing myself for forced conversation and long, awkward silences. To my relief, the students were friendly and welcoming. Each lit up when I asked them about their lives before moving to Burlington and their plans for the future. Much like myself, academics play a major role in all of their lives. Even more surprisingly, we all have pretty similar interests. All four of them hope to have careers in science. We spoke about our experiences in Burlington, and shared our favorite spots in Boston. I realized that, despite growing up thousands of miles apart, we were not very different. We are all teenagers, and we are all people, so why do we assume that we are so different? This challenge may have only been for one day, but I have found myself in the midst of new friendships that will last far beyond today.
Art as Expression
This post was written by Gabby D. in response to the Day 12 Challenge Action: Reflect on politically or socially motivated artwork.
We all have to admit that with the high and rising tension produced by the most recent presidential election, responsible citizenship has most likely not been a priority for the majority of Americans. The 30 Day Challenge helps us to stay on track and start small. As a school, the challenge allows us to focus on what we can do both as individuals and as a community to maintain responsible citizenship throughout this difficult time. Art, is a wonderful way to express feelings and open up about a particular political or social issue. As a creative outlet, art is a technique for relieving stress as well. So, if you are ever feeling angry, upset, uncomfortable, unsafe, or just about anything, but cannot find the words to show how you feel, art just might help you voice your opinion.
Christina Galbiati is a designer, educator, and contemporary artist who resides in the northeastern region of Pennsylvania. She works in collage and makes efforts to express her opinions and feelings on almost anything that occurs in her life. On her website, there is a "Social Art" section that welcomes people to view her series of collages reflecting on controversial social issues as well as tense political situations. One piece that caught my eye is entitled "A Nation Divided" (pictured below). Galbiati based this image upon her feeling following the 2004 Kerry/Bush election. Motivated by the strict divide that emerged in the United States at the time of the election, Galbiati successfully used contrast to express the spilt feelings of Americans. While this particular collage was created not in reference to the Trump/Clinton election, it remains very relevant today.
Galbiati's piece conveys the splitting of citizens of the United States based upon political views that followed a highly controversial election. She uses a cluster of words such as "out of touch," "greed," and "money" to form the silhouette of the United States. Galbiati uses those particular phrases to suggest that Americans do not seem to be on the same page and elaborate on why there is such a disconnect. While the overall message of Galbiati's "A Nation Divided" is rather frightening, it is still beautiful that she was able to expresses her feelings through the creative outlet of art.

High-Fiving Isn't Easy
The following post was written by Sarah P. in response to the Day 13 Challenge Action: High-Five a random person in the hallway.
Today's challenge was to high-five a random person in the hallway. The theory behind the action it is that it will help us to initiate a connection with another student and possibly make someone's day a little brighter.
What this challenge did for me, personally, is to make me more aware of other students passing by me in between classes. Usually I just walk to my next class as quickly as possible, without really paying attention to others. On this day, I looked around, and as I was looking for a potential high-five recipient, I noticed how hard it was. I expected to just walk down every hall with my hand out, high-fiving everyone. But, it wasn't as easy as that. Hallways are chaotic; kids don't stay in their lane. It was difficult to walk up to someone moving past me and give them a high five.
Another obstacle to the challenge I found particularly difficult is that most people are looking down at their phones while they walk during passing periods; they are blocking out the world. Students aren't taking even these small opportunities in between classes to look around, to see who is in our school community. Making connections with people is hard when they are staring down at their phones, basically signaling others to stay away.
Something more personal that I discovered about myself from trying this challenge action is how anxious I get in even simple social interactions. Whenever I saw a person who I could high-five, I got too nervous and missed the chance. I did manage to high-five a few people, but they were people I knew so I felt more comfortable interacting with them.
Though high-fiving a stranger who isn't expecting it isn't really your standard social interaction, it still serves as a reminder that we would all benefit from more opportunities to interact with each other. It would help people to become more comfortable with others, and to be more open to putting themselves out there. This challenge was a nice way to encourage people in our school community to engage with each other more.
The following post was written by Alex D. in response to the Day 5 Action Challenge: Read an article that expresses a different opinion about a political or social issue than the one you hold, and reflect on the argument presented.
The article I chose to read for this challenge was "After Orlando We Need More Pro-Life Christians" by Kevin Wright. The article refers to the shooting at Pulse, a gay club in Orlando, FL. In the shooting, 49 people were killed and 53 more were injured. Wright argues that attacks such as this one can be prevented with the help of Pro-Life Christians. He believes that pro-life Christians have the power to put an end to this gun violence, and since they value life enough to stand up against abortion, they should also stand up against guns. Wright makes the distinction between pro-life and pro-birth anti-abortion activists. His thought is that if one is simply pro-birth, one is not necessarily standing up for the rights of those who are alive.
I found this article to be close-minded. Though the point is to open the minds of pro-life activists, the argument is limiting. While Pro-Life Christians may be against gun violence, this article excludes all other people who want an end to gun violence. Refusing to allow women access to abortions has absolutely no effect on the rate of gun violence. There is no correlation with the two issues. The argument seems to connect these things for no reason. I believe that women should have the right to decide what they want to do with their body, especially in instances when pregnancies are caused by rape. A woman who has had an abortion can be just as helpful as a Pro-Life Christian in acting out against gun violence.
While the objective of the article has merit and aims to remind people to stand up for their values even when it is hard, even when it might prompt an internal conflict, I don't like how it does so by reinforcing a national divide. It is time that people all joined together in order to stop such acts of violence, rather than singling out certain groups and claiming them to be either particularly obligated or unworthy of striving for a better world.

Parted wisdom…
For all those who were jealous of my wisdom, be informed am one less..have parted with my wisdom…tooth that is..so level playing field, eh??
It all started when I accompanied my pain er pain with pain che..wife with a tooth pain for one of her routine dental visits and here, I am one tooth less and that too- wisdom. One sure shot way of my association with wisdom..sigh..sigh..
Just bcos it was a young lady doc, I strutted out an O (open mouth)and said proudly, I have never went to a dentist and am fine..she sneaked in and one look- told me, there is a slight decay, there is a wisdom..yeah wisdom and me closely associated yet again, for one last time! And that too its growing in some vague angle (defying all gravity and other sciences) and they make u believe it..she gave me the same gas they are taught in 8th semester- u can either do it now or later when the pain increases inordinately and then it shall be an emergency..'its ur choice' and that smile that is taught much earlier,in 8th standard? U buy it immly and so the next thing u do is fix up an appointment with surgeon..
For once 2 days went off in pain and my wify was so happy I hardly spoke for 2 days..so u know who connived on the level playing field now??
And as the pain subsides we are off to Madurai to visit some interesting projects of Dhan, a great NGO..so off to MDU: Dear sir, as Iam suffering from tooth pain and travel please grant me leave for 3 days;-)
Update: BTW did you note the update on full video for the prev post here

"Outdated and in some cases obsolete."
That's how Pleasanton Unified School District Superintendent Rick Rubino summed up the state of the facilities that serve approximately 15,000 students and hundreds of teachers and staff.
It's the conclusion reached by district officials years ago that prompted research into local schools' infrastructure needs and how they could be addressed. Years of consideration culminated with the school board's unanimous vote in July to place a $270 million facilities bond measure on the ballot for the Nov. 8 General Election.
That initiative is Measure I1, also known as the "Pleasanton Unified School District School and Classroom Safety, Renovation, Construction and Modernization Measure," and it's asking voters this central question:
"To repair and upgrade aging classrooms and facilities at local schools; provide 21st century learning technology and facilities; improve school safety and security; update science labs; improve energy and water efficiency; renovate, construct, and acquire classrooms, equipment and facilities, and construct a new elementary school, shall Pleasanton Unified School District issue $270,000,000 in bonds, at legal rates, with independent citizen oversight, annual audits, all funds used for local schools, and no money used for administrators' salaries?"
If more than 55% of Pleasanton residents who vote on the measure check "yes," the bond measure will pass, imposing a new tax of $49 per $100,000 of assessed value on Pleasanton property owners.
For example, a family that owns a home with an assessed value of $500,000 would pay an additional $245 in taxes each year. A property with an assessed value of $800,000 would see $392 in taxes each year resulting from Measure I1. Senior citizens would not be exempt from the tax.
If Measure I1 succeeds and all the bonds are issued and sold, the current best estimate is it would cost the district $540.5 million to repay the bond debt, according to the ballot measure.
With the tax rate determined, the school board whittled down a list of possible projects to fit within the $270 million in revenue that such a bond is expected to generate.
The projects fall into four categories: modernizations and new infrastructure at a cost of $139 million; safety and security with a roughly $29 million allocation; creating 21st century learning environments including new science and technology facilities for $97.8 million; and energy and water improvements that would cost $10 million.
Projects range from the installation of site fencing and video cameras at all schools to modernizing Lydiksen Elementary School to the construction of a new elementary school on a site to be determined.
While the board's final approved project list contains budgeted amounts up to $270 million, the ballot measure itself does not include cost estimates. It states that the final cost of each project will be determined "as plans are finalized, construction contracts are awarded, and projects are completed."
It also notes that the school board cannot guarantee the bond will generate enough money to complete all listed projects. Regardless of funding availability, inclusion of a project on the list is not a guarantee that it will be completed, but only projects on the list could be funded by Measure I1 revenue.
As of June 30, the district reported it had an estimated $5.7 million available for projects, most of which comes from developer fees.
It's been 20 years since Pleasanton voters passed Measure B, the last school bond, which generated $70 million for facilities improvements. Roughly $42 million in outstanding general obligation bond debt remains from that measure. That debt will be completely paid off in 2023, according to the district.
In the two decades between the two Pleasanton bond measures, neighboring school districts have seen funding come in from multiple bond initiatives.
Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District voters have passed three school bonds in the last 20 years, as have San Ramon Valley Unified voters. Dublin Unified has seen two such measures pass. During the June election, Livermore passed a $245 million bond with 67% voter approval and Dublin passed a $283 million bond with 60% approval.
That fact plays into Rubino's rationale about the need for bond funding. Pleasanton school facilities and infrastructure in their current state are not meeting the needs of students and teachers, Rubino said, putting youth at risk of not being able to compete adequately in the workforce.
"It's clear if the bond doesn't pass, our students are not going to have a competitive advantage," Rubino said. "They're not going to have the tools they need to prepare for college and careers in the 21st century."
That concern is part of what's driving proponents into action.
The ballot argument in support of Measure I1, authored by five local residents, encourages voters to "keep Pleasanton schools among the best." A Yes on I1 campaign has also been launched with a Facebook page and a website that includes a frequently asked questions page and links for volunteering and donating. PUSD employees can participate in the campaign, but not during work hours and not using district resources.
No ballot statement was submitted in opposition of Measure I1.
While bond proponents schedule precinct walking and phone banking, district officials are doing what they can to educate voters about the need. Next month, they will start giving school tours to interested community members who will learn about the current conditions of schools, items on the bond project list and taxpayer information.
District officials took this reporter on a tour of Amador Valley High, Lydiksen Elementary and Pleasanton Middle schools to demonstrate some of the changes that would be made with bond funding.
Administrators pointed out an array of what they say are necessary improvements, some of which the schools shared in common, such as replacing heating and air conditioning systems from the 1980s and modernizing science labs.
There are also signs of aging and disrepair evident in the nooks and crannies of campuses, from dry rot outside the kindergarten pod at Lydiksen to water intrusion at Pleasanton Middle.
One of the marquee items on the bond project list is the proposal to demolish Lydiksen's pods, the five circular buildings on campus that house the school's classrooms, office and library. In their place would go a two-story structure, as outlined in the district's facilities master plan.
The estimated $30 million overhaul would free up more playground space and lead to a better learning environment, according to Jacob Berg, Lydiksen's principal.
"It would be quite drastic for Lydiksen," Berg said.
Pleasanton teachers and school administrators say the current facilities inhibit them in a number of ways. The Lydiksen pod classrooms, for example, are pie-shaped, meaning one end is significantly narrower than the other. That makes furniture configuration tricky, according to Berg.
The Lydiksen classrooms also have limited storage and thin walls, so students can get distracted by a noisier classroom next door, said Kylene Calvo, a fourth-grade teacher at Lydiksen.
"(The space) is very limited," Calvo said. "My kids either have their desks or they're on the floor."
For science teachers at Pleasanton Middle School, living with the current facilities has meant making do.
Andy Su, who teaches sixth- and eighth-graders, uses water pitchers and buckets for students' experiments because his classroom lacks sinks. Jad Gaytan, an eighth-grade science teacher, eliminated an experiment from her curriculum because it requires the use of gas and her classroom has dealt with leaks in the past.
These problems, Rubino said, will not remain stagnant if the bond fails. There are no alternative funding sources identified aside from Proposition 51, the $9 billion public school facilities bond on the California ballot this fall. PUSD would have to provide matching funds to qualify for state assistance should Prop 51 pass, according to Rubino.
"We would continue to decline, and all the effects of a deteriorating school and the absence of a 21st century education for our students are bound to have a negative impact," he said. "Our wonderful teachers, staff and parents do the best they can to provide for our children, but we are now in a desperate time."

IDC Research Shows 80% of Asia/Pacific Banks Still Create Inconsistent, Unpredictable Customer Experiences
IDC Financial Insights' recently completed benchmarking of the maturity of Asia/Pacific banks (excluding Japan) confirms that more than 80% of these banks are still in early stages of the maturity model — the ad hoc and opportunistic stages. These banks are lagging behind their global peers when it comes to strengthening experience excellence for their products and services.
The symptoms of this deficiency are varied, ranging from their inability to keep pace with the changing needs and requirements of their demanding customers to how the current business and IT digital initiatives are disconnected and poorly aligned. To be sure, most of these banks are attempting to offer an omni-experience, but these are inconsistent and half-hearted and are prone to give way to other seemingly more important strategic imperatives (cost management or preservation of legacy processes, and so forth).
Thus, highlights the need for Asia/Pacific banks to improve their omni-experience by adapting better to the demands of the customer and technology changes.
Customers today are engaging in a myriad of omni-experiences involving social interactions, work relationships, and commerce, all enabled by personal and business digital interfaces. IDC Financial Insights expects that around 86% of the financial services customers in Asia/Pacific will be active on digital channels, of which 15% (a threefold growth from 5% in 2015) will be exclusively transacting on their channels by 2020. This has been nothing but a wakeup call for banks to improve these channels. Banks that disrupt or meet their target customer needs repeatedly will be able to attract and grow allegiance across the entire ecosystem — customers, employees, and partners.
"Several customer trends in the Asia/Pacific region will drive the pursuit of omni-experience excellence. Certainly, financial institutions must respond to the big shift toward multichannel interactions and how these interactions are increasingly integrated to customer lifestyle," says Michael Araneta, Associate Vice President of IDC Financial Insights Asia/Pacific.
"Omni-experience is in the top 3 priorities of the banking sector in Asia/Pacific. Still, we see more than 80% of these banks in the early stages of the maturity model, much behind the United States, indicating that there is a large opportunity that can be captured by investing in digital transformation and creating superior customer engagement. Customers today expect banks to deliver easy, convenient, and consistent interactions across multiple channels," adds Sneha Kapoor, Senior Research Manager for IDC Financial Insights.
This study is a supplement to IDC MaturityScape: Omni-Experience Digital Transformation in Retail Banking 1.0 . These two reports provide a comprehensive overview of IDC's MaturityScape framework for omni-experience DX in retail banking, which identifies the stages, dimensions, outcomes, and actions required for banks to deliver impact and business outcomes.

This week back was not as bad as I expected it to be but still, the fatigue after each day was pretty bad. I got an efficient amount of sleep due to my New Year's Resolution of sleeping before midnight but last night was the worst night, sleeping at 1 AM. Let me rephrase that, I knocked out at 1 AM because if I went on with my AP Psych studying, I would do terrible and die out throughout the day. While I initially thought that I made the wrong decision, I did pretty well on my test in sixth period. It would be one of my best tests all year so far with a 90% 36/40 on multiple-choice with 5 points for the free response question, assuming I got it correct. That would make my score 77/85 and that score is fine with me. I am happy and satisfied this week is over, but there is a lot more to come and I am excited for it, yet stressed about it since time is passing by so fast. Whatever happens, my first initial goal is to sleep as much as I can in order to prepare to the best of my ability the upcoming competitions for DDT and finals week. With all of it coming up so fast, I think rest would be my key to success. Already having at least six hours of sleep a night on average this week, I think I can do better and sleep even earlier without having to procrastinate on any of my assignments. I managed to get ahead for Psych and finish my 20 point project due on Wednesday, but there's my research paper due on Tuesday, extra credit due on Friday, Econ project due Wednesday, and so on. However, I would say this first week back was decent.
With a new phone, there is a new me and I am going back to learning Korean again as part of my goal. I have my apps and I am doing my best to spare some time in order to practice hearing the audio and writing it down. Although it's a formal dialect, I'll someday have the informal speech down by the end of the year as well and I'll be okay. Right now, it's the commitment to learn along with my commitment to the 30-day challenges and studying for my permit test. It's been a while since my parents started nagging me to get my license so I should get on it and start working for it. Along with learning Korean, I would add permit test studying and less procrastination on my list of accomplishments before the semester ends and Spring Break. Let's see how I do.
For DDT, besides the usual practice hours on Tuesday and Thursday, we are preparing for competition season more than ever and for the most part, I can say it's going well. I've been doing my part and taking the corrections more seriously and going over my moves, listening to my music, everything that the coaches told me to do starting way back when. The countdown is officially one week left and it's time to get it all together now. It looks fine now as a whole picture, but now it's the details I need to work on still. But to tell you the truth, I think All-Male and Co-Ed looks nice at this point. I still need to review and go over my moves and changes as always, but I feel like the team is at a good spot before we take the floor at West Covina next week. There will be practice Sunday at 10:30 AM since we need to finish our Novelty Madagascar set, but I'll let you know next week.
Lastly, for Multimedia, the art-portion of the week, it became more of a productive class this week than most of first semester. I was able to learn how to design sketch certain products such as today's camcorder, yesterday's projector, and either Monday's or Tuesday's printer. Mr. Cepeda is teaching us the basics for design sketching and he says that it'll take a while for us to be experts at the concept, but I feel like I am getting the hang of it already. Transitioning from t-shirt designs and resume cards that we made before break, I am enjoying the familiar pencil and paper sketches. It's what I do best and it's great to go back to my comfort zone although I am learning something new. You would start with a box and make the design of a product one side at a time in its three-dimensional form. After you draw the outline, you fill in the rest of the details and shade in what's needed and you're good to go. It's pretty simple and doesn't take much time or effort and Mr. Cepeda has been telling us, "You have to draw according to the lines of the box and make them parallel." With that in mind, everything he asks us to draw is quite feasible and it wasn't bad at all in his class. Very chill and easygoing and I am looking forward to next week's plans.

I wrote earlier about the Swedish 2-2-1 set up and quite aggressive forecheck, if you then look at the World Champions in hockey Russia, you find almost the opposite, very defensive 4-1 or V set up. When the forecheck is started they have almost a 2-2-1 set up, that is transferred to a wall or trap when they stop the attack from the opposite team. Not maybe fully transferrable to floorball, but I hope this post still will create some thoughts outside the box…
Tag Archives: V-Set up
1-2-2 Floorball Set up / System
1-2-2 Floorball Set up / System – Normal or Offensive
In a 1-2-2 floorball system, for me the D2 player will be the most important both in defense, but also in building up your offensive plays.
1-2-2 Defensive Floorball Set up / System
1-2-2 Floorball Set up / System securing the centre / middle
If you have centrally strong opponent, you can try to pull in your players more centrally to force out the other team to the sides.
1-2-2 Floorball V-Set up / V-System
1-2-2 in V-formation will close the borders and force the opposite team in to the middle. Situations in the middle will be really tight and you need to be careful with the positioning of your teams players, be on the right side all the time between your own goal and your opponent.

Researchers from RMIT University in Australia have developed a new artificial enzyme that leverages light to kill bacteria. The artificial enzymes could one day be used in the fight against infections, and to keep high-risk public spaces like hospitals free of bacteria like E. coli and Golden Staph.
E. coli can cause dysentery and gastroenteritis, while Golden Staph is the major cause of hospital-acquired secondary infections and chronic wound infections. Made from tiny nanorods - 1000 times smaller than the thickness of the human hair - the NanoZymes use visible light to create highly reactive oxygen species that rapidly break down and kill bacteria.
Lead researcher, Professor Vipul Bansal who is an Australian Future Fellow and Director of RMIT's Sir Ian Potter NanoBioSensing Facility, said the new NanoZymes offer a major cutting edge over nature's ability to kill bacteria.
"Our NanoZymes are artificial enzymes that combine light with moisture to cause a biochemical reaction that produces OH radicals and breaks down bacteria. Nature's antibacterial activity does not respond to external triggers such as light. "We have shown that when shined upon with a flash of white light, the activity of our NanoZymes increases by over 20 times, forming holes in bacterial cells and killing them efficiently.
The NanoZymes work in a solution that mimics the fluid in a wound. This solution could be sprayed onto surfaces. The NanoZymes are also produced as powders to mix with paints, ceramics and other consumer products. This could mean bacteria-free walls and surfaces in hospitals.
Public toilets - places with high levels of bacteria, and in particular E. coli - are also a prime location for the NanoZymes, and the researchers believe their new technology may even have the potential to create self-cleaning toilet bowls. While the NanoZymes currently use visible light from torches or similar light sources, in the future they could be activated by sunlight.
The researchers have shown that the NanoZymes work in a lab environment. The team is now evaluating the long-term performance of the NanoZymes in consumer products.
"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed."
"Envy comes from wanting something that isn't yours. But grief comes from losing something you've already had."

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Jamie Benn had a goal and an assist and the Dallas Stars hung on for their fourth consecutive win, a 3-2 victory over the winless Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday night.
Steve Ott and Michael Ryder also scored for the Stars, who seemed in complete control until Kris Russell pulled Columbus within one with just under three minutes remaining.
Vinny Prospal nearly tied it in the final seconds, redirecting the puck slowly past a goal post with goalie Kari Lehtonen, who finished with 38 saves, leaning the other way.
Supposedly in rebuilding mode with the NHL's lowest payroll, the Stars, behind Lehtonen, who earned his league-best fifth win, have won five of six to start the season.

Derick Brassard scored on the power play for Columbus, which has stumbled to the worst start in franchise history at 0-5-1 and is the only team in the Western Conference without a win.
The Blue Jackets have one regulation victory in their last 28 games dating to last season.
To compound matters for Columbus, both of their marquee free-agent signings are on the shelf. Defenseman James Wisniewski has two games left in an eight-game suspension and center Jeff Carter was placed on injured reserved Tuesday for at least a week with a broken bone in his foot.
Dallas nearly scored 25 seconds into the game when the puck caromed off R.J. Umberger then hit the right post behind Steve Mason, who finished with 15 saves.
About four minutes later, Columbus defenseman Aaron Johnson thought he scored with a slapshot from between the high circles but it was ruled teammate Derek Dorsett was in the crease and the goal was disallowed.
Ott opened the scoring at 4:17 of the second period to extend his points streak to five games. After winning the faceoff in his own zone, Ott raced to the other end and fired a shot from the right circle past Mason's glove hand.
Trailing 2-0 in the third and with a man advantage, Brassard scored on the rebound from a shot by Rick Nash at 5:06 for his first point of the season.
But on the next shift after the goal, Loui Eriksson whistled a shot off the post before Ryder redirected Sheldon Souray's shot from the point on Dallas' next scoring chance to make it 3-1 at 6:27.
Russell scooped a loose puck off the boards, skated in and beat Lehtonen from the high slot at 17:05.

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) voted unanimously to raise the Federal Reserve's funds rate on Wednesday, marking the first increase in U.S. borrowing costs since 2006. The rate, which directly effects loan costs that banks charge each other, has been held to nearly zero since December 2008.
Although an historic moment, the announcement by Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen and the FOMC was expected by financial analysts worldwide, including 102 of 105 such professionals surveyed by Bloomberg News.
In real terms, the rate hike which goes into effect Thursday, indicates that Fed board members have "confidence in the U.S. economy," and is heading in the right direction.
The Fed's objective is two percent annual inflation and maximum employment.
In 2015, inflation is only expected to rise by .4 percent however, so the general consensus among the FOMC and economists alike is that future rate hikes will happen at a gradual pace (one increase per quarter), and total an effective rate of 1.4 percent by the end of 2016.
After the financial crisis of 2008, FOMC decided to lower the Fed rate to almost zero in December of that year. Around that same time, the Fed implemented a policy of quantitative easing in which the central bank purchased U.S. Treasury bonds and mortgage-back securities in order to further push down rates in other areas.
Results of these aggressive shifts in monetary policy have been mixed, as the equities market has sky-rocketed by 207 percent since bottoming out in March of 2009. Annualized U.S. GDP growth however, has not risen above 2.7 percent in that same period.
Moreover, household incomes are still lower than they were 10 years ago, adjusted for inflation. By the same token, hourly wages have increased 2.2 percent per year since the financial crisis, down from 3.3 percent yearly average gains between 1988-2008.
Wednesday's announcement will also effect consumers starting Thursday, as Wells Fargo, U.S. Bancorp, and J.P. Morgan Chase all announced an increase their prime lending rate to 3.5 percent. This will raise the cost of personal and auto loans, mortgages, and corporate credit.

Though it hasn't made the headlines here, the 7.8-magnitude earthquake that struck Nepal on April 25, 2015, killed and injured people in neighboring countries and regions, including Tibet, India, Bangladesh and Bhutan. The sudden disaster shifted worlds of happiness into sadness with so many lost lives and homes.
With continuous reports of the bad news, the health and safety of the residents of earthquake-stricken Nepal became a huge concern for their neighbors in China. It has been a long-standing tradition in China that people who are not affected by a disaster will always help those impacted.
This tradition, as well as the value promoted by Heifer's Cornerstone Sharing and Caring, was well practiced by the employees of Heifer China, project partners and beneficiaries when Heifer China launched a fundraiser for the Nepalese people.
A Heifer China project at Weichang, in Hebei Province, once hosted a Nepal project delegation, headed by Shubh Mahtato, country director for Heifer Nepal. Farmer households from the Weichang projects were also invited to visit Nepal, and they became friends during the visits.
The project farmers from the North China region were particularly concerned about their friends in Nepal, so they spontaneously launched a donation station in their communities. The earthquake came when farmers in North China were in the middle of a busy farming season. This hindered their donation station organization; however, the community facilitators were of great help. They carried a donation box to the fields to collect donations.
No matter how much or how little the amount was, every donation represented the donating farmers' concern and care for the families in Nepal. Donations from the project farmers and project partners in the North China region program office totaled 26,703.5 yuan, or about $4,300.
Other regional offices in China started their own donation initiatives. Yunnan and Guizhou regional program offices raised 17,592 yuan, or about $2,833, from 10 project partners and the project communities, as well as 1,000 yuan, or about $161, from Haidong Tsongka Charity Association, a project partner, and the project community of Qinghai-Tibet regional program office. Six project partners and project communities within the Central China region donated 17,505 yuan, or about $2819, and 5,888 yuan, or about $948, was collected from three project partners and project communities in Xinjiang Region. Project partner Wanyuan Animal and Poultry Breed Improvement Station and proect communities in Sichuan and Chongquing regions collected 2,700 yuan, or about $434.
The donation totaled 83,854.5 yuan, or about $13,500, including 12,476 yuan, or about $2,008, from Heifer China employees alone. With this gift, the donors hoped to help strengthen the confidence of those impacted to rebuild their homes.
Confronted with the colossal catastrophe, the disaster-stricken people in the project communities of Heifer Nepal still maintain their confidence. Their strength in the wake of this disaster is inspiring to many. The donations from Heifer China convey not only financial support, but also spiritual support from afar.
You can still help support farmers in Nepal who are trying to rebuild after the devastating earthquakes.

Though money is tight in the Williams' household these days, my sweet husband wanted to take me out to buy a few things for my birthday which is coming up on August 30th. (I'll be 30 on the 30th this year. Isn't that a magical birthday or something? Enchanted? What do they call that? There's a word for it...)
Anyway, I spotted a vintage-looking number on sale at a very fancy boutique called Chez Tarjay. (That's Target to you those of you who simply must pronounce things in the traditional way.) Though twenty dollars is still pretty steep, I loved this dress, so I snatched it right up.
But I admit to having a different motive. Though it doesn't look like much on the rack, when I tried it on in the dressing room, it reminded me very much of these dresses that left an impression on a certain young movie geek back in her childhood...
A layer of lace over fabric is oh-so-very 1950's and I've never seen a dress like that in a modern store anywhere before, let alone for such a steal. I've done a lot of things because they looked really appealing in movies. Thanks to "Splash", the first time I tried lobster when I was about nine, I tried to tear into that sucker with my teeth. I can safely report that THIS has been a much better experience so far.
Ever bought a piece of clothing because it reminded you of a costume from a movie? (My husband has a handful of very Dude-like shorts and sunglasses because of this little inspirational-buying-streak problem I have.)
MILESTONE! It's a milestone birthday.

The rain didn't stop Jovani and I from working out on Sunday. I LOVE watching TV, but I enjoy it even more while working out. On Sundays, the show 'Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition' comes on. This is the second time I watch it at the gym. The 2-hour show basically follows the life of an individual for 1 YEAR as they try to lose weight. In this weeks episode, Ashley tries to lose half of her 323 pounds by her 21st birthday. The finale had me crying, while on the treadmill ha ha ha. Anyways, Ashley reaches her goal! She celebrates her 21st in Las Vegas, the same day she debuts her new body to her family and friends.
This picture is not photoshop, she seriously looked like that on her 21st birthday! The show is very motivating because through hard work and dedication anything is possible!

Back on the road we found that the roads had improved a little from the Mozambique side, still dirt and corrugated, but smoother and we were able to drive faster.
|The road on the other side of the Mozambique- Tanzania border; a bit better!
Our first stop was Lindi, a small fishing town on the Southern Tanzanian coast. We arrived as it was getting dark so had to choose accommodation fast, opting for Adela Guesthouse, not as cheap as they have it listed in Lonely Planet, but still ok at $30pn including breakfast. It was a bit late to go exploring the town so we decided to eat in with a choice of chicken or fish and rice or chips. We all opted for the fish.
|Better than it looks in the photo. My fish with beans, vegetables and rice. It was
the healthiest thing I'd eaten in about three days and enjoyed
Our first night in a new country also meant sampling the local beers and Tanzania has a lot. I tried a couple, Serengeti and Kilimanjaro, picking the later as my beer of choice.

|The weary travellers: Me, Monika, Martin and Mike (L-R)
The next day we had a look around Lindi which was quite nice and in hindsight we should have stayed another night. Instead we brought a pack of cashews for the bargain price of $3 for around 300gms and went our separate way from Monika and Martin for the first time in a week, heading north while they headed south.
|Mmmm! Cashews!
Our next stop was Kilwa Masoko, which Lonely Planet had labelled as "a sleepy coastal town" and the "springboard" for visiting the local Kilwa Kisiwani ruins. Sounded like the perfect place for another night's stopover before heading to Dar. However it wasn't meant to be; the town wasn't that nice and the accommodation was extortion, including camping! In the end we stayed at what was truly one of the most horrible guesthouses ever, so bad I can't even remember the name. But it did cost us only around $12 for the room which was cheaper than the $20 we would have paid for camping. Go figure! Food was also an issue with no nice places to eat and neither of us game enough to eat the street food after seeing a dude chopping at a hoof of sorts to go into something, not sure what. Thus, we enjoyed a dinner of yoghurt, crackers, fruit and chocolate :-)
|What $12 will buy you in Kilwa Masoko
|Plus the luxury bathroom!
|And the very accurate description of the feel to the town
itself. We laughed at this sign hanging in our room!
The next day given there wasn't anything to stay for in Kilwa Masoko, we left early for Dar es Salaam.
The road to Dar wasn't too bad, actually quite good for the most. There was around 50km of pretty bad road which left us wondering how a car that wasn't 4wd would get through, but we saw sedans along the way so they must have got through somehow. The other bad part about the road was the number of villages along the way that we had to slow down to 50km for; in some cases the villages seemingly only consisted of 2-3 huts, not really what I would qualify as a "village" but that's just me. And man, do they love their speed bumps! Out of control, but I digress…..
|The road to Dar es Salaam, or at least the worst 50km of the drive
As we approached Dar the traffic got a bit crazier and the roads a bit dustier, but nothing like what we had expected, quite tame really. We thought that maybe it was that way because it was a Sunday, however I have to say that during all of our time in Dar, the traffic, while busy, wasn't that bad. Organised chaos! The biggest hindrance to the traffic was the police who seemed to think they were doing a better job than the traffic lights, overriding them and causing major traffic jams. If we were sitting in traffic jam we could guarantee there was an incompetent police officer at the end. Yes, guarantee!
|The road heading into Dar es Salaam
In Dar we stayed at Sofia House Hotel, located in the city area and known to us through a recommendation from Zully, our mechanic in Lusaka. Tawfiq, the manager of Sophia House, immediately helped us to settle in, organising a room for a very good price of $45 a night (including air-con, hot shower, ceiling fan, free wi-fi and free laundry!!) and giving us some tips of places to go around Dar.
We didn't do a great deal of touristy things in Dar; mostly we just wondered around the city to get a feel for it. Dar has a great energy about it and although we had a lot of warnings and had been told a number of stories about petty crime in Dar, we felt very safe. Maybe we were just lucky, but although a bit smelly in parts, it was an ok city. And the market next to Sofia House was fantastic providing us with a huge range of summer fruits, cheap cashews and the tastiest apples I think I've ever had.

|The market next door.....

We made a couple of trips out to Oyster Bay, a suburb of Dar and what we termed as the "muzungu" area of Dar, providing us with tasty food including seafood on the pier (The Slipway) and good sushi.
|Lunch on the pier. My choice was grilled king fish with vegetables....
|.....while Mike enjoyed fried calamari with chips and salad
|The view at lunch, not too shabby!

After a few days of exploring Dar and enjoying the benefits of a big city we decided it was time to head to Zanzibar, one of the places I was most excited about visiting on our trip!

Riser bars are getting lower all the time, but Salsa have been making this super wide flatty for years.
Well it's nominally flat but it works best with a slight upturn anyway. The backsweep starts a lot earlier than on riser bars too so even the 5 degree here puts you a long way back and the 9 degree is a proper cruiser bar. The OS version gets even more pronounced 11 and 17 degrees.
Feel wise it's smoothly sprung without warping too much when you push on it and it's as light as most carbon risers for half the price. An £89.99 carbon bar is available if you want to go super light.

The year was 1984. The A-Team just finished saving yet another day, and Webster's chubby cheeks were up next. This was primetime TV for my 10-year-old eyeballs. Time for a word from our sponsor…
"Hey you got peanut butter in my chocolate."
"You got chocolate in my peanut butter."
Ah, the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup campaign: a classic advertising treat of the '80s. This was more than a commercial; it was permission to mix things up. It was affirmation to humankind that indeed opposites can attract, that a Democrat can marry a Republican.
The 1980s also saw the explosion of direct response TV. Gadgets and gizmos that will change lives but only for a limited time. And at just $19.95, why wouldn't you call? Especially if we throw in a potato peeler. But wait, there's more!
Phones rang. Product shipped. Tummies tightened. And traditional brand advertising threw up in their mouths over what they saw as "crappy TV ads." Never would they disgrace the sanctity of their virgin brand with a direct-to-consumer message asking people for their money. That would be selling. Shame on you.
Flash forward to 2015: No more Webster. No more ad budgets. Welcome to the age of accountability. CMOs are tasked with spending a dollar and making two. They love this thing called the Internet, because they can track everything. They can talk directly to their consumers. Consumers can order on the spot. Hmm…sounds like direct response.
So what if brand TV advertising and direct response could come together? What would that taste like?
Actually, it's already happening.
Marketing Architects was rooted 17 years ago in direct response, but we've seen an influx of business that would have been previously labeled traditional brand advertising. Major brands are looking at DRTV through an entirely new lens. And we're being challenged to be good brand stewards. Together we're building strategies to provide accountability to advertisers' budgets, while elevating their brands at the same time.Brand advertising and direct response: two great things coming together. I guess we can all learn a lot from a peanut butter cup.

When it comes to blockbuster superhero movies, Marvel just keeps knocking it out of the park. From the various Avengers films to the Guardians of the Galaxy, they know how keep us hungry for more big-screen escapades - and here's the proof, following the success of the trailer for Avengers: Infinity War.
Credit: Marvel Studios
The teaser for the latest instalment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has smashed records for the most-viewed trailer in a single day, notching 230 million views across all media, according to Marvel Studios.
That wipes out the previous record of 130m held by this year's remake of Stephen King's It, which was released in September this year.
The studio tweeted: "Thank you to the best fans in the universe for making @Avengers #InfinityWar the most viewed trailer of all time with 230 million views in 24 hours!"
Infinity War may be billed as an Avengers movie, but it also marks the first time the superhero team have been paired up with everyone's favourite rag-tag band of intergalactic crime fighters, the Guardians of the Galaxy.
It takes place four years after this year's Guardians of the Galaxy 2, and sees Iron Man, Captain America, Starlord, Rocket et al teaming up to battle the sinister Thanos, who - as MCU fans will know, following his cameos in previous movies - has been trying to collect the Infinity Stones, six singularities that existed before the Big Bang and will allow him to bend reality to suit his wishes.
An all-star cast of Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Holland, Benedict Cumberbatch, Mark Ruffalo and Chris Pratt - not forgetting Josh Brolin as Thanos - is a pretty impressive billing too.
It's the 19th film to focus on the MCU, and the 17th film to feature the Avengers or the team's individual members - whichever way you slice it, this amounts to (I think this is the technical term) a fuckload of films in a single series. But according to Marvel Studios president, the projected Avengers 4 movie will mark a 'finale' for the characters we've come to know and love.
Kevin Fiege told Vanity Fair that the film, scheduled for 2019, will "bring things you've never seen in superhero films: a finale."
"There will be two distinct periods," he said. "Everything before Avengers 4 and everything after. I know it will not be in ways people are expecting."
However, if you're currently ironing your Spider-Man costume and making a protest banner to march on Marvel HQ, he also mentioned the studios' plans for new films, including a Guardians spin-off, so even if your there are big changes ahead for your favourite characters, there's still more to come from the MCU.

We would like to thank you for visiting us in your search for "Affluence Network Videos" online.
Many individuals prefer to use a currency deflation, notably those who desire to save. Despite the criticism and disbelief, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Financial solitude, for instance, is great for political activists, but more debatable when it comes to political campaign funding. We need a steady cryptocurrency for use in commerce; in case you are living pay check to pay check, it'd happen as part of your wealth, with the rest allowed for other currencies.
Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, yet, if growth is too quickly, there may be some problems. If the platform is adopted fast, Ethereum requests could increase drastically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under such a scenario, the whole stage of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the increasing costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum stage and ether. Instability of demand for ether can result in a negative change in the economic parameters of an Ethereum based company that may lead to company being unable to continue to run or to cease operation.
For most users of cryptocurrencies it is not essential to comprehend how the procedure operates in and of itself, but it is fundamentally vital that you comprehend that there is a procedure for mining to create virtual currency. Unlike monies as we understand them today where Authorities and banks can simply choose to print endless amounts (I am not saying they're doing so, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining application, which solves the advanced algorithms to release blocks of monies that can enter into circulation.

Anyone can become a Bitcoin miner running software with specialized hardware. Mining software listen for transmission transactions on the peer-to-peer network and perform the appropriate jobs to process and support these transactions. Bitcoin miners do this because they can get transaction fees paid by users for quicker transaction processing, and new bitcoins in existence are under denominated formulas.
Since among the oldest forms of earning money is in cash lending, it is a fact that you could do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending websites now focus on Bitcoin, many of these websites you happen to be required fill in a captcha after a certain time period and are rewarded with a small amount of coins for seeing them. You can visit 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 markets have very different dynamics. New ones are constantly popping up which means they don't have a lot of market data and historical perspective for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have quite poor liquidity as well and it is hard to think of a reasonable investment strategy.
Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact cash and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in an identical way, but in addition they get involved in more complex smart contracts. Multiple signatures enable 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 allows advanced dispute arbitration services to be developed in the foreseeable future. These services could enable a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their cash. Unlike cash and other payment methods, the blockchain constantly leaves public evidence a transaction occurred. This can be potentially used in a appeal against companies with deceptive practices.

In case of a fully functioning cryptocurrency, it could even be dealt like a product. Proponents of cryptocurrencies say that this sort of online income is not managed with a main banking system and is not thus susceptible to the whims of its inflation. Since there are a limited variety of products, this coinis worth is based on market forces, enabling homeowners to trade over cryptocurrency deals.
Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put into circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to create more. The mining process is what produces more of the coin. It may be useful to think of 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 rewards of your efforts, but this reduces your likelihood of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have higher chance of solving a block, but the benefit will be divided between all members of the pool, depending on the number of shares won.
If you are thinking of going it alone, it's worth noting the applications configuration for solo mining can be more complex than with a swimming pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter route. This alternative also creates a secure flow of revenue, even if each payment is small compared to entirely block the wages.
The wonder of the cryptocurrencies is the fact that scam was proved an impossibility: because of the nature of the protocol where it is transacted. All transactions on a crypto-currency blockchain are irreversible. After you're paid, you get paid. This isn't something short-term wherever your customers could challenge or require a concessions, or use illegal sleight of palm. In practice, most investors could be smart to utilize a cost processor, due to the irreversible nature of crypto-currency purchases, you need to be sure that protection is hard. With any type of crypto-currency may it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or any of the numerous other altcoins, thieves and hackers may potentially gain access to your private recommendations and so take your cash. Sadly, you almost certainly can never get it back. It's vitally important for you yourself to adopt some excellent safe and sound methods when working with any cryptocurrency. This may guard you from most of these damaging events.
Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others happen to be designed as a non-fiat currency. Quite simply, its backers argue that there's real worth, even through there is no physical representation of that worth. The worth rises due to computing power, that is, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU power via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a period of time that's worth an ever declining amount of money or some type of wages to be able to ensure the deficit. Each coin consists of many smaller units. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are just to authenticate other transactions, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant solution, which will be one of the appealing aspects of the coin. The one who has mined the coin holds the address, and transfers it to a value is supplied by another address, which is a wallet file stored on a computer. The blockchain is where the public record of all trades resides. Most all cryptocurrencies function as Bitcoin does.
The fact that there's little evidence of any increase in the use of virtual money as a currency may be the reason there are minimal attempts to control it. The reason for this could be just that the market is too little for cryptocurrencies to warrant any regulatory effort. Additionally it is possible the regulators simply do not understand the technology and its implications, anticipating any developments to act.

It's definitely possible, but it must have the ability to recognize opportunities regardless of marketplace behaviour. The market moves in relation to price BTC … So even if it's in a BTC tendency down can make money by buying the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you'll be ok.
Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to research possibilities for making huge ammonts of cash with various types of internet marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to brave the cryptocurrency markets.Bitcoin structure provides an instructive example of how one might make lots of money in the cryptocurrency markets. Bitcoin is an extraordinary intellectual and technical achievement, and it's created an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But not many people understand that and pass up on quite successful business models made available due to the growing use of blockchain technology.
The transactions of Bitcoins are recorded in ledgers which are referred to as Blockchains. The ledgers use extremely sophisticated technology for them to work. The thought is quite straightforward than you believe. The Blockchain enables two parties to create a smart contract. The contract can be created between two companies in a platform understood
It should be challenging to get more modest gains (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the way to read these Candlestick charts! And I found these two rules to be true: having little gains is more profitable than trying to fight up to the peak. Most day traders follow Candlestick, therefore it is better to have a look at novels than wait for order confirmation when you believe the cost is going down. Secondly, there is more unpredictability and compensation in currencies that never have 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. When you learn to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you purchase the uptrend will never decrease! Always will go down! Viewers incremental increases are more reliable and profitable (most times)
