ONTARIO'S NDP MPP Jagmeet Singh has been refused a visa to India and Indian Consul-General Akhilesh Mishra told The Globe and Mail newspaper in an email that the Indian government didn't have to provide any justification or explanation about it.
He wrote that those who seek to undermine Indian democratic institutions and foment contempt for them "are only misusing the pretext of human rights to pursue their insidious agenda of disturbing the social fabric of India and undermining the peace, harmony and territorial integrity of India."
Singh, who is the MPP (as MLAs are called in Ontario) for Bramalea-Gore-Malton, apparently angered the Indian government by referring to the massacre of Sikhs in India in 1984 as "genocide" and condemning the attack on the Golden Temple by the Indian Army in 1984.
In fact, all three federal parties criticized the Indian government earlier this month for the 1984 events and India's failure to get justice for Sikh victims.
The Globe and Mail reported: "Mr. Singh submitted his application for the Indian visa in November last year. Sources say his passport was returned to him on Dec. 8 without the visa, which surprised him since he had visited India in January and February. When asked by Mr. Singh at the time, Indian diplomats in Toronto would not detail any reasons for his not being given the visa."
Mishra told the newspaper that the "processing of visa applications does not depend on 'statements made by the applicant or his or her support for human rights.' … India fully respects freedom of expression, and indeed cherishes plurality of opinion and welcomes constructive criticism."
But the fact is that is exactly what the Indian government is doing: trying to suppress freedom of expression in Canada.
All political parties must speak out against this blatant attack on Canadian values.
Sikhs were fearing such attacks after the Hindu nationalist Modi became prime minister and appointed former IB (India's Intelligence Bureau) chief Ajit Doval as the new National Security Advisor because of his past role involving Sikh militants in India and Pakistan.
He took part in Operation Black Thunder in 1988 to flush out Sikh militants who had occupied the Golden Temple in Amritsar.
He worked in the Indian High Commission in Pakistan from 1983 to 1987 and Sikh sources in Canada claim that he infiltrated Sikh groups in that country.

I'm still at Republic Square today, after featuring a photo looking southeast in yesterday's post. This is the view west. The relatively new federal courthouse dominates the view, though you can see The Independent, Austin's tallest tower, to the left. More than anything, I really like the giant Live Oak tree, which somewhat softens the hard edges of the courthouse.
At the turn of the century, Intel was building an office building on this spot. It was a momentous occasion to lure a major tech company to build their $124-million chip design center in the middle of downtown, instead of the usual suburbs. The dot-com bust scratched their plans, however.
Construction on a four-story concrete skeleton came to an abrupt halt in March 2001. There, it was a blight in downtown Austin for years. A reminder of the tech bust and a failed attempt to bring in more high profile companies. The skeleton stood there until 2007 when it was demolished, and this new courthouse was built in its place.

To many nonprofits, foundation operations are shrouded in mystery. Because prospective grantees are seeking funding from foundations, there may be a perceived power imbalance. However, building strong and effective relationships with grantees can help foundations develop new knowledge and insights into issues, and to test and scale innovative strategies. Open communication, approachability, sharing lessons learned, and collaborative evaluation are key to developing strong partnerships with grantees.

Jubilee Freedom Day 2017
When: Thursday, Dec. 21
Narrative Slave Readings: Noon-3pm, Ralph Mark Gilbert Civil Rights Museum, 460 MLK Blvd.
Jubilee Feast: 6-9pm, Mt. Zion Greater Faith Church, 1629 Chester St.
Info: (912) 547-5937 or (912) 675-9639
I'VE NEVER been to the North Pole, but I dare say that Savannah at Christmastime is most magical.
The lights twinkling in the graceful arms of the moss-sleeved oaks, the super-extra Southern cheeriness in everyone's step, how it's just nippy enough to break out the good boots but no one's going to lose any fingers to frostbite. Plus, "Jingle Bells" was actually composed here!
If you've ever stood in the wintry mid-morning glimmer, it's easy to reckon why General Sherman decided to leave the beautiful houses and lovely squares intact instead of torching it all to trash like he did in Atlanta and the rest of the unfortunate towns on his March to the Sea, offering the city up like a shimmering jewel to President Abraham Lincoln.
I beg to present you as a Christmas gift the city of Savannah with 150 heavy guns and plenty of ammunition, also about 25,000 bales of cotton, he famously dispatched to Washington on Dec. 22, 1864.
OK, so it was probably the piles of weapons and white gold and not the enchanting yuletide ambience that gained Sherman's sympathy. Still, it must have seemed like a Christmas miracle to the people of Savannah subsisting on dried fish and cowering under the Confederate blockade. Mercy was surely received in part to then Mayor Richard D. Arnold, who begged the pyromaniacal Union general not to pillage the defenseless city. (The Confederate Army, knowing they were beat, cut out the night before.)
But there was no greater gift given that December than freedom. As the Union Army decimated Middle Georgia on its way east, it liberated more than 70,000 slaves per the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863, and according to the U.S. Census, 7,587 people in Savannah and the surrounding areas were released from bondage when the city surrendered.
"They thought General Sherman was Moses and talked about the Union soldiers like they were angels from heaven," says military historian Eric Saul, citing interviews with former slaves recorded in the 1930s. "It was a transcendent moment."
While many African American communities commemorate the end of slavery with Juneteenth celebrations, Gullah Geechee storyteller and tour guide Sistah Patt Gunn insists that Dec. 21 is the day to rejoice locally.
"From the minute Sherman set foot in Savannah, we were free," declares Sistah Patt, who also founded The Center for Jubilee, Reconciliation & Healing to pay homage to those freed and those who supported the cause.
The Center is once again hosting its annual Jubilee Freedom Day, with slave narratives reenacted at the Ralph Mark Gilbert Civil Rights Museum followed by a joyful feast of "soups, hot wata' cornbreads, ol' fashioned pound cakes n' more" at the Mt. Zion Greater Faith Church in West Savannah. Sistah Patt and the Saltwata Players performance troupe will sing the songs of freedom, the same ones sung by those liberated 153 Christmases ago.
She and Saul, who is the former curator of the Presidio Army Museum in San Francisco and possesses one of the largest photograph collections of African American soldiers in the country, met four years ago when he came to town with his wife, Dr. Amy Fiske, a professor at West Virginia University and a fourth generation descendant of Gen. Henry Slocum, Sherman's second-in-command and the author of Special Field Order No. 15—better known as "Forty Acres and A Mule."
"It was the Sesquicentennial of the Civil War, and we decided to follow Sherman's March to the Sea to honor Amy's abolitionist ancestor," recalls Saul. "We ended up meeting Patt and spending Christmas with her family, which was revelatory."
The couple has spent the holiday season in Savannah ever since, soaking up the camellia-steeped charm. They have also been collaborating with Sistah Patt on a traveling exhibit, "The American Abolitionists: The Conscience of a Nation," a poignant collection of portraits depicting thousands of brave activists—both black and white—who fought for emancipation, including author and former slave Frederick Douglass, Unitarian clergyman Adin Ballou and suffragette Susan B. Anthony. (An abridged version of the exhibit could be glimpsed at Sulfur Studios where Dr. Fiske gave a talk on Tuesday night and will return in full to the Beach Institute this February.)
"The abolitionist movement was the first civil rights movement in this nation," point out Sistah Patt. "We're excited to tell the story."
Saul acknowledges the Union's broken promises—not a single acre nor mule ever materialized, did it?—and let's not romanticize Sherman's treacherous trek, during which on several occasions pontoon bridges were purposely pulled up to strand the increasing number of freed slaves who joined the soldiers on their march, most tragically at Ebezener Creek, where hundreds of men, women and children perished in the swollen waters.
Yet Savannah clearly brought out a charitable spirit from Ol' Devil Sherman, who sent those appropriated bales of cotton north to Boston and Philadelphia in exchange for food and dry goods for the people of Savannah, and the Union troops delivered care packages via mules with twigs tied to their heads to mimic Santa's reindeer. At his interim headquarters at the Green-Meldrim House, the general welcomed African American clergy, including the Rev. Garrison Frazier, who characterized the gruff general as "a friend and gentleman."
Saul describes the Yankees' Savannah stay as "the most benevolent occupation by Union Army of the entire war," and although Georgia ended up being the last state to rejoin the Union, he contends that the city pledged back its allegiance before the war was even over.
"It's a great Christmas story," says the historian. "It's about reconciliation, reunion and liberation and should be celebrated."
As I kicked down the cobblestones and reveled in the reds and pinks of the camellias this week, I had a renewed awareness of the tortured souls who had toiled to build the fancy corniches and dig the gardens, and how for them, saving Savannah for Christmas meant the truest kind of deliverance.
I also mulled over the current divisions among us, and how difficult it seems to reconcile and reunite. Yet surrounded by the exquisite, enduring beauty of our city, I sensed possibility in the crisp, morning air, one that turns violence to benevolence, inspires neighbors to become allies, and allows for the kind of peace that lasts.
Wishing you and yours the most magical of holidays, and let's keep singing the songs of freedom.

The Morris brothers, Marcus and Markieff, and the Washington Wizards and Boston Celtics organizations will not have to worry about any fallout from the assault charges filed against them stemming from an incident in Phoenix in 2015 as they were acquitted of all charges according to a Maricopa County Superior Court.
A jury found Markieff Morris, Marcus Morris and Gerald Bowman not guilty on all counts.
— MC Superior Court (@courtpio) October 3, 2017
As alluded to previously, the case stemmed from an incident in 2015 when both brothers and three others were accused of beating up a man named Erik Hood outside a Phoenix area high school basketball game. The defense argued that Hood's mentor offer two men money to testify against the Morris twins in the trial. Both were of course members of the Phoenix Suns at the time of the incident.
Both are excited to move past this incident and the cloud that was hanging over them and their careers and re-join their teams for training camp. Markieff is still recovering from a sports hernia injury that can keep him out for six to eight weeks.
When they are on the court against one another this season it will be interesting to see how Marcus's addition to the brewing rivalry with the Celtics and his brother Markieff's team the Wizards will be affected.
Don't be shocked if you see some of that fake tough guy stuff that is prevalent in the NBA today (KG was the master of it), maybe even with one another.

Entertaining, I guess, but insubstantial. Perfect plane read, or vacation, or other distracted times because not much will demand your concentration and the words flow by while retaining your attention.
The Eternal Verity Generator is permanently stuck in the On position here: that little girls dream of weddings and adults are clueless and dating is flat-out awful are all trotted out. For my part that was a tiresome and ultimately deadening error. But the Stryx, the omnipotent AI aliens, are a cliche that was amusing and fairly well-handled here. An example of Stryx thinking:
It's easy enough to measure job performance, but a person could be a highly professional worker and still feel no loyalty to humanity or to EarthCent. The lower salary for the executive-track positions helps filter out those who are just in it for the money.
The cover teases but the book doesn't deliver a cheesy smexy space romp. The verdict from me, all things considered, is:
~meh~ plus...go enjoy it if silly and slight is what you're in the mood for. Women are cautioned against expecting the tropes deployed to amuse very much.

I know, I know. I've gotten emails from y'all and I will reply to each and every one. It's been a mad-scramble to get everything ready to go to BBW (Boardwalk Badness Weekend) so that we didn't have to work while we were there… And that tended to be very brilliant because there was only dialup (WTF, right? I didn't even know dialup still was around! Ah, well) at the hotel and the 3 Starbucks we tried in Atlantic City were internet no-gos. So I apologize, but not that much. My hands, as they say, were tied.
Back to the fun stuff: bragging about the spanking party YOU GUYS didn't get to go to. 🙂 I plan to make you green with envy, so watch out.
First of all, it was the best weekend ever. I still haven't come "down" from how amazing of a weekend it was. From Thursday morning until we caught the plane on Monday, it was non-stop joy, spanking style. There was even a "Strap of Joy", as Pandora Blake called it, but I digress.
BBW was amazing, and this is coming from someone who normally doesn't come out from under her rock. I'm an agoraphobic, admittedly. I don't 'party'… Normally. But there was something about the whole thing that made me party my ass off. I think spankings have to be involved for me to rock. It wasn't my first spanking party (it was my third), but I think I have to say it was my favorite. I loved meeting up with all my old friends while adding so, SO many new ones. It was so well organized, the energy everywhere was intoxicating, and there was so much to do that boredom was impossible.
And there were so many hot guys at this party you could get a crick in your neck from all the head-spinning you'd be doing just to check them out. It doesn't matter the age, there were just so many attractive people–men and women–that it made me a little giddy.
Many of you, my lovlies, haven't even heard of a spanking party because I haven't announced I was going much except in passing. Let me break it down for you.
Spankings everywhere, all the time. I have a LOT of voyeuristic tendencies, so there was so much eye-candy I swear my brain got a cavity. Strappings, canings, otks, some in private, some out in the open in the middle of the ballrooms, some in hallways of hotel rooms. Girls acting like brats. guys acting like they could fix the brattiness, and good times had by all. In the day you go to dinners and activities and all sorts of goofy events to spank or get spanked as much as possible or just meet a ton of new friends, and then at night you go upstairs and party with them in whole floors of hotel rooms that the hotel sectioned off for us. You go into one hotel room, then out and into another, chatting, eating, dancing, goofing around, and of course, getting spanked…. Or seeing it. You watch it everywhere–amazing panties, bare bottoms, and of course, so many implements I could talk about them all day.
And you know what the best thing was?
Even if you're just having a conversation and chilling out, you're having the conversation with another spanko. Do you know what that's like? Being excepted already about your deepest, darkest secret before you even form a friendship with that person? Knowing they struggled to hide it like you did, that they used to look up spanking in the dictionary when they were kids, too, that there's something about it that makes our little brains obsessed by it, etc… It's relieving, actually, to know that there's so many people like yourself out there and to be surrounded by them. This party had over 240 people in attendance. Holy moly… It was like being in a huge 4-day-long frat party, where you're a card-carrying member to a secret club. Nowhere else can a spanko be so truly accepted.
I don't have any pictures, which sucks because I so wish I could show you what was going on. BUT not having pictures speaks for itself–you don't have to worry at these things. The BBW organizers were absolutely amazing about jumping in there like rule-ninjas whenever someone was taking out a camera in a main room. You can go to these things and feel 100% safe about your identity staying perfectly secret.
Memories were made. James gave me a discipline spanking in our room with about 10 observers at one point. I think when I look back on it in a few weeks–without blushing uncontrollably at how many people saw my full nakie-ness and how many people could see my embarrassment and exposure–I think I will consider that as really, really hot. 😉 It'll be one of those awesome things I'll be looking back and blushing about until I'm in my eighties!
There were so many friends there–some I'd met before, and some not–and I feel so strongly about them right now I feel my heart might give birth to a fuzzy bunny rabbit or something. I can't describe how amazing these people are. And playing with them–some I got to 'play' with a few times–was no less than a privilege. I felt like a kid in a candy shop.
God, except the internet, I can't think of anything to complain about. It's weird… I love to complain, so not being able to bitch and moan about something is saying a lot. Oh! I thought about something! I didn't get into the schoolgirl's party–they capped it at 14 girls or something and I didn't even come close to getting my name on the list in time. Urggh. I wanted to go so bad! Grrr!
One thing I need to work on–my tolerance. It's so weird–there are parts on my body that are sooo resilient to pain. Not my ass, though. My ass is extremely sensitive to touch. Poor Mike Tanner had to spank me like a 10 year old child (he was so nice because when he's spanking regular, it's like–wow. It can stir up stomach butterflies big-time) with his strop and still I whined up a storm (don't get me wrong, it was totally fun and I would have been so sorry if I'd missed it. I'm just a whiny person). If there was a wimp-award I would have won it. Other girls were taking it like pros, full force, and coming back for more. I wish I could have played four times as much as I did, at least.
Anyway, folks–I'll brag more later. I have 2 books to complete by June 21st somehow, and unless I get a fearie godmother soon, that means it'll have to be me. I'm also the correspondent for the Cherry Red Report on this party so I'll go into even more specifics about this party's particular flavor of awesomeness. 🙂

I've gathered up some Galentine's Day gift ideas to spark some inspiration for your girls night out this year because who says you can't have fun flying solo? Girl… You don't need anyone to make you happy, you've got YOU. And as far as Valentine's day goes, well, that's just overrated if you ask me!
Spreading love is an everyday action, not just once a year. But what's even more important is that you love and do YOU first above anyone else. So let's just make this day all about celebrating self-love with your queens.
So grab your awesome wine tumbler, your favorite clean wine (slap a label on it!), and your Girls Night Out Game and have a Galentine's Day blast!
While you're at it, recite your Badass Affirmations together and remind each other that you're there to help fix each other's crown if it needs fixing, lift each other up if you need lifting and remind each other that true love starts with YOU.
And, by the way, don't forget to pick up a friendship pillow or remind your bestie how much you care with a best friends throw or a wine gift set to make her smile.
Post a pic of your fun night and tag me on Instagram so I can see!
Shine on, beautiful queen!

Doubt is something that strikes each one of us from time to time. Self-doubt, sure, but also doubt in God. Doubt that He will do what He says He'll do. Doubt that we will, one day, spend eternity with Him.
Years ago, here at Christianityworks, we received a donation of $500 from someone we'd never heard of. So I found the man in the telephone directory (that's how long ago it was!) and called to thank him.
But his voice sounded feeble. It turned out that he was in his final days, suffering with terminal cancer. He told me he wasn't even sure if he was saved anymore. So the next day I flew interstate to visit him, the trip costing more than he'd donated, something we really couldn't afford at the time. On top of which, I'm not particularly pastorally gifted, so I was nervous knocking on his door.
But when I arrived, this elderly man told me his story in his thick Dutch accent. He'd believed in Jesus all his life, but now in his final days, he had doubts. Significant doubts. Was there really a God? And if so, was he really saved through Jesus, or hadn't he lived a good enough life? Would he be condemned to the fires of hell?
Jude 1:22,23 Help those who have doubts. Rescue those who are living in danger of hell's fire.
This saint was afraid of losing his salvation but with just a few words, through me, God restored his faith. In that moment, the joy brought tears to his eyes and mine. We hugged and agreed to meet again in heaven. This little episode had turned out to be one of the greatest privileges of my life.
Help those who have doubts. Rescue those who are living in danger of hell's fire.
That's God's Word. Fresh … for you … today.

The Good Morning Britain host is making the most of his break by jetting off to California and he's been sharing snaps of his adventures.
Piers, 53, has taken time off from hosting Good Morning Britain to enjoy a five star sunshine holiday with his wife Celia Waldon.
He's staying in the exclusive neighbourhood of Beverly Hills and has been snapping pictures of his luxury house.
There's a spa-style pool surrounded by palm trees, which offer privacy from prying eyes.
He made it the perfect paradise for his daughter Elise, five, by adding an inflatable duck.
Piers has been keeping himself busy during the trip and took himself off to a beauty salon for a pedicure to get his feet ready for sandal weather.
He posted a picture of his treatment on Instagram with the caption: "When in Rome… #ManiPedi #CityOfVainStars."
Another snap from his holiday showed him sitting outdoors wearing his new baseball cap – emblazoned with the word "you're".
The former newspaper editor captioned it: "Some personal news.
"I just appointed myself Chief Superintendent of Social Media's Grammar Police Force."
Piers also showed off the swanky car he's driving by posting a picture of his Aston Martin.
Elise is standing in front of the luxury car holding a balloon and Piers revealed he'd bribed the youngster to help him with the shopping.
He wrote: "'Yes Daddy, I'll help you get the BBQ shopping – IF you get me a mermaid balloon…' #ArtOfTheDeal."
He's also been out to dinner at some of LA's poshest restaurants.
Piers shared a picture from a night at Wolfgang Puck's Spago and another at the Cut Lounge at the Beverly Wilshire Beverly Hills – the hotel featured in Pretty Woman.
Celia also shared a snap of them having cocktails at the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, and of them attending an open air jazz night at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
Piers will be back on Good Morning Britain on September 18th.

Those of us who come from the ECM world have been "business process sensitive" for a long time. We have written, designed and implemented process centric content systems for many clients around the world even if they were covered under different names. This is because we realized early on that business content is always the input to or the output from a formal or informal business process. This is true even if it doesn't have an encoded SOA, BPM or JMS structure behind it.
We called it workflow. We called it integration. That's because it was. (tweet this)
The big challenge is that business processes are as complex as human interactions. Business processes documented in Visio or some other workbench tool represent the optimal flow of information and tasks from one point to another. But exceptions to these rules are rampant. This is because humans are complex creatures and we will often do either whatever it takes or whatever is easiest to achieve a goal. The path we pick depends on a massive amount of external factors – our mood, our interest in the task, how deep is our stake in the outcome, if we've had our morning coffee… This has given rise to complex event processing (CEP) and similar systems that acknowledge this complexity. They attempt to brute-force their way through millions of contextual premises in order to work through to a single conclusive result. That result is often the answer to the question, "what is our next step?" Consequently, encoding processes for content / context centricity is often an exercise in triage and attrition rather than total state awareness with full exception handling.
The social revolution has taught us that people create the process they need at the time. (Tweet This!) They figure out the path they need or want to achieve their goal. This path is often not the most efficient but it is often the one that enjoys the most adoption. This continues to pose challenges to systems inherently based on predicting and improving human efficiency by assuming that we can become more machine-like.
I suspect that this same concept explains (in part) why legacy ECM is having its lunch eaten by the much simpler and less sophisticated cloud systems like Box, Google Docs, slideshare, Dropbox and even facebook. They focus on the goal – sharing information with others. They leave the "how to make it happen" up to the people who figure it out. It might be emailing a link. It might be a social invite via the service itself. It might be via web based plugins (e.g. via wordpress or linked in). The point is that the services leave that responsibility up to you.
This is not to say that the way the legacy ECM systems integrate and share information with processes is wrong. It works, but it's restrictive and often cumbersome. And let's face it, we chafe at things that were not our idea. We hate being told that there is only one way we have to do something. This is why systems such as cloud ECM are enjoying a heyday: they let the humans be human and simply make the content easily available. (tweet this!)

I've said it before, as much as I loving living here in sunny Arizona, I still miss Autumn in the Ozarks. I miss the trees, the changing colors, and all that goes with it. So – Hubby, Sugar Plum, Meeka and I took a day trip to Flagstaff and then the scenic ride down through Sedona, Jerome and Prescott.
First of all, the weather was fabulous, about 25 degrees lower than here in the Phoenix area. We were about three weeks late for the true Fall colors, but it was gorgeous nonetheless.
Sugar Plum wasn't the least bit interested in the ride, she would rather sleep.
Meeka was more interested, but she's just too little to see out the window!
Look ahead! The mountains are in view. We are on our way!
Look at this lovely road. I haven't seen anything like this is quite some time.
Coming toward Sedona and the red rock.
We had a great day except for the car sickness I got from the windy roads. That's why there are no more pictures! Sedona, Jerome and Precott were fantastic. Fortunately I have other photos of Sedona from past visits.
We arrived home safe and sound. The little ones in-joyed their day trip. A good time was had by all.

First of all, I have to say that anyone who still hasn't heard of cryptocurrencies simply hasn't been paying attention to what's happening in the world. If you haven't heard the terms "cryptocurrency," "Bitcoin," or "digital currency" in recent times, you have a lot of catching up to do. Cryptocurrencies have been grabbing headlines in the recent past and they have exploded in popularity as well. I genuinely think they are a modern-day phenomenon.
Cryptocurrencies are digital currencies that work similarly to the traditional fiat currencies in terms of uses and applications. However, their creation and storage vary in that they are not provided by the central bank rather they are mined. Also, they are purely virtual thus cannot be stored in the bank like the traditional currency.
You can either acquire a cryptocurrency by buying it on an exchange platform or by mining it online. The very first cryptocurrency and probably the most popular one is the Bitcoin. It was released in 2009 and today we have over 1000 cryptocurrencies available. This number keeps growing and cryptocurrencies are bigger now than ever before.
The most popular feature of cryptocurrencies is their decentralization; they are governed by users instead of a central governing body. Cryptocurrencies are legal in some countries and illegal in others depending on the government. Indeed, cryptocurrencies are very safe payment modes because they allow you to secure any currency that you may own. Crypto transactions are largely anonymous in that your identity is protected from the rest of the users. The value of a cryptocurrency is determined by the demand for that coin. The coins use cryptography to verify and record transactions.
Some common cryptocurrencies include Bitcoin, Ripple, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Ethereum, Zcash, Dash, Monero and TRON.
Although I can't say for sure, I am pretty confident that cryptocurrencies are here to stay. They have changed the finance sector greatly and I don't see them going anywhere. Another thing I can't say for sure is whether or not they will totally replace the fiat currency. I guess we will just have to wait and see.
How to Buy Cryptocurrencies?
Purchasing cryptocurrencies is not as complicated as most people expect it to be. It is not that different from acquiring the traditional currency, only that the process varies a bit. The biggest difference is that you cannot walk into a bank or an exchange bureau and the buy the coin, everything is done online. Also, you require a cryptocurrency wallet and an account with a cryptocurrency exchange. if you have no idea what that means, do not worry I am about to make everything clearer.
Buying cryptocurrencies is very simple, all you need to do is a very secure internet connection. Then you'll have to sign up for a cryptocurrency wallet, have your money ready for payment and obviously a cryptocurrency exchange platform.
So let's go through the purchase process step by step. First of all, first of all, you have to acquire a digital wallet. You either search a specific wallet online and follow the acquisition process since they vary or you choose a wallet from your exchange platform of choice. You may need to provide your personal documents for verification.
Payment is mandatory, therefore equip yourself with either a bank account, a debit card or a credit card to pay for the purchase. After you have completed setting up your wallet, you will need to place an actual order. This is where the exchange platforms come in, here you can conduct cryptocurrency exchanges directly with other buyers. So you go ahead and place your order, pay for it and within no time, you will receive the requested amount of cryptocurrency. Believe it or not, the process is that simple.
Exchanges are the most popular way of purchasing cryptocurrency. There are a few other alternative ways to buy cryptocurrencies though not as popular. Such alternatives include cryptocurrency ATMs and Peer to peer exchanges.
Cryptocurrency Wallets
You're probably wondering why a virtual coin needs a wallet. In as much as cryptocurrencies are not tangible, they still are very valuable and they need to be stored somewhere. This is where wallets come in. and I am not talking about a leather wallet that you keep in your pocket.
A cryptocurrency wallet is a type of software program that stores all information relating to a certain digital currency. A wallet helps you to monitor your balance, send money, receive money, send tokens and receive tokens.
Millions of people all over the world use cryptocurrency wallets yet they do not understand how they work. first of all, cryptocurrencies are not stored in any one locations, therefore cryptocurrency wallets do not store cryptocurrencies but they store publican and private keys that enable the user to access the coins and interact with them. Private keys stored in the wallet must match the public address assigned to the currency.
There are three main types of wallets, the software wallet the hardware wallet and the paper wallets. A software wallet can be either online or on a desktop or even a mobile phone. For a hardware wallet, you store the private keys on a hardware device such as a USB. They make transactions online but are stored offline. Last but not least are the paper wallets and these provide the highest level of security. It is a piece of software that generates private keys which are then printed out, you use this address shown on your paper wallet to conduct withdrawals and deposits.
Even though cryptocurrency wallets are generally secure it is good to take caution in order to keep your money safe. Some of the things you can do to increase the security of your wallet include backing up your wallet, updating your software and adding extra security layers. Most wallets support several cryptocurrencies thus you don't need to set up a separate wallet for each of your currencies.
Before settling on a wallet you need to ask yourself a few questions. These questions include: Do you want to transact daily or you want to hold on to the coin? Are you planning to use several coins or just one single currency? And lastly, when and where do you like to access your digital wallet from? Having asked yourself these questions, here are some of the best wallet options
-Atomic wallet
-Bread wallet
-Ledger Nano
-Green address
-Blockchain (dot) info
Cryptocurrency Exchanges
I believe that you have heard of the traditional exchange platforms. Cryptocurrency exchanges work in a similar way, in that they enable you to buy and sell your cryptocurrency. You carry out transactions with other buyers rather than the exchange itself since these exchanges are peer-to-peer networks.
Exchanges allow you to purchase or sell a cryptocurrency using the traditional currencies or using alternative cryptocurrencies.
The best cryptocurrency exchanges
It's important to do a little research before you decide on what exchange to trade on. some of the things that you need to look pout for include the fees, the reputation of the exchange, geographical restrictions, exchange rates, payment methods and lastly, the verification requirements. Some of the best exchange platforms include:
In the US
In the EU
Gambling Online with Cryptocurrencies
Cryptocurrencies play a significant role in online gambling. Gambling sites today accept crypto currencies deposits and withdrawals from their users. Compared to the traditional banking option, cryptocurrency transactions are faster and way easier since they are processed instantly. Online gambling is the most convenient approach for people in restricted countries, people who feel that their games are rigged, people who wish to play games with high payouts, people who do not want to disclose their personal information and lastly, people who prefer to perform the transaction with zero or low fees.
Elimination of intermediaries reduces complications such as needing approval from the bank. You can send and receive cryptocurrencies from anyone, anywhere in the world. Any cryptocurrency gambling deposits are availed to you immediately. Also, gambling sites are able to send you any cryptocurrency withdrawals as soon as they are approved. This is really crucial especially in areas where online gambling is illegal or partially legal. Most countries regulate credit card and bank deposits and withdrawals associated with gambling.
Some of the most popular cryptocurrency casino games include:
-Sports Betting
-Binary Options Trading
-Forex Trading
Steps of cryptocurrency gambling
Recently, cryptocurrencies have been thriving in the online casino market. Gamblers' private information is now more secure than ever before. Also, cryptocurrencies reduce the transaction fees involved in gambling. The protection of user identity is another major advantage thanks to the anonymity feature. Some of the best cryptocurrency casinos in 2020 include Bet-Coin, Fortune-Jack, and 1xBit.
Cryptocurrency casinos allow players to use cryptocurrencies to fund their gambling accounts, thus eliminating banks from the equation. Here is an opportunity for a gambler to enjoy instantaneous money transfers, enjoy lower fewer, higher payouts, not to mention complete anonymity and play thousands of games at a single online casino from the comfort of your sofa. I'd imagine you are eager to get started, so come with me into the world of crypto casino. My intention is to teach you everything you need to know in very few words. From how to create and fund your wallet to playing your first game and finally withdrawing your winnings.
Acquiring the coins for gambling
You cannot play a cryptocurrency casino game without cryptocurrency. That essentially means that the first and most important step in cryptocurrency online gambling is buying your cryptocurrency and storing it safely in your wallet. Create and fund your wallet as I have already explained in the wallet section.
Playing at a cryptocurrency casino (create an account on an online casino of your choice)
Once you are done funding your Bitcoin, it is time for you to transfer these funds to an online casino. The good thing about cryptocurrency casino games is you can place the best without giving away any private information.
It a couple of minutes for your cryptocurrency to arrive at your casino. Can you believe that you will never need to enter your personal information while depositing?
Casing out your money
You should cash out your cryptocurrency so that you make use of real money in the outside world. All you need to do is copy the cryptocurrency reference code from your wallet's deposit section and then it on the withdrawal section of the casino. It will take a few minutes for the amount to be credited on your wallet balance after which you can either use it as it is or convert it to traditional money. you can even withdraw it to your bank account.
Advantages of cryptocurrency gambling
-High transaction speed
-Easy registration, deposits and withdrawal procedures
-Lower transaction fees
-Fairness in games
-Highest security for personal information.
Blockchain and cryptocurrencies have changed the world we live in greatly, today you can buy food and pay for several other services using cryptocurrencies which were not the case a few years back. Since online gaming jumping on the bandwagon the industry has grown tremendously. Who knows, maybe in ten years' cryptocurrencies will be the most preferred payment method on all gambling platforms.
Presently, some of the best cryptocurrency casinos allow users to deposit cryptocurrencies but soon enough I believe there might even be a dedicated betting token for all online casinos. Let's wait and see.
This is not to say that cryptocurrency casino is bulletproof, scammers do exist. Not to mention the issue of volatility, so trade carefully. In a nutshell, you need to create a wallet, then move your funds from the wallet to the cryptocurrency casino, at this point you should be able to perform deposits and withdrawals from the casino and poker sites while playing your games. The last process is cashing out your cryptocurrency so that you can spend real money elsewhere.

[ Ultimate Guide ]
How to access Netflix on DirecTV remote – So you've simply gotten DirecTV and you're loving it and you want to know that can you watch Netflix on DirecTV, can I get Netflix on DirecTV? But wait – you couldn't find a manner to access Netflix for Directv! Well, we have some bad information for you: you couldn't. Even though Netflix with DirecTV gives a ton of great entertainment, it actually doesn't let you access DirecTV Netflix.

Our houses and devices are extra connected than ever before, which means that that there are masses of other ways to look at Netflix movies on your TV.

Good News for Directv Users AT&T's DIRECTV Android TV Streaming Box Will Come With Netflix
Netflix has now showed that its app can be available on AT&T's upcoming DIRECTV set-top field powered via Android TV.
Although this seems like a given, it isn't always continually the case as there are instances where, for whatever reason, a carrier prefers no longer to make its apps available on a tool. This is particularly real when the device in question is walking more of a customized working system. For example, Apple these days determined this out when Netflix refused to combine its carrier with Apple TV+.
While AT&T's solution does run on Android TV it is expected to be a enormously customized model which is essentially designed to direct users to DIRECTV. In spite of this customization, and the reality a few apps might be prohibited from installation through AT&T, the device will come with get entry to to the Google Play Store and it's miles probably this was sufficient for Netflix to comply with the partnership.

Arguably, at the side of the brand new WarnerMedia streaming service, the new non-NON version is the DIRECTV priority for AT&T in general.
The reason AT&T appears to be greater centered on the non-NOW carrier is the enterprise plans to launch a brand new streaming version of the provider in conjunction with the box. Unlike DIRECTV NOW, the new DIRECTV streaming provider may be a stronger solution and will possibly be priced at a higher point.
AT&T is especially eager on this option as it sees the streaming provider as a feasible replacement for its cutting-edge DIRECTV clients. By switching them over to the brand new streaming model, as well as pushing new customers to this model, AT&T will be able to cut prices via plenty as the container could be a self-deploy and maintained field.
Due to the diverse savings which can be there available AT&T has invested heavily in this new provider and thus far has been keen on letting purchasers now that is one to appearance out for. The enterprise these days made that argument over again whilst AT&T suggested its new service (and container) would "radically" exchange what purchasers understand TV to be.

What is car sharing?
Car sharing is a car rental service that allows individuals to use vehicles for short periods of time, often by the hour.
It can be an economical and environmentally friendly option for those who only require occasional access to a vehicle.
How it works
Drivers can subscribe to car sharing services by opening an account via the internet or by telephone. Car sharing organizations usually require an unrestricted driver's licence, a clean driving record and that drivers be at least 21 years or age.
When the required information is provided to the organization, individuals can make reservations and are given access to a vehicle (often by being given codes or keys).
Some organizations have parked vehicles in numerous locations that allow for self-serve access (after reservations are made), while others have pick-up and delivery options.
Various sizes and models of vehicles may be available and the cost will vary depending on the company, length of time rented, distance travelled, insurance costs, and usage fees.
Some organizations require drivers to sign-up as members and pay monthly or annual fees, in addition to fuel and other rental costs.
Types of car sharing options
There are three types of car sharing services available to Canadian consumers: Co-op, private and peer-to-peer.
Co-op car sharing businesses allow consumers to purchase shares in their organization, and in return are able to provide input at general meetings and elect representatives to the Co-op's Board of Directors.
Owning shares will mean the up-front cost when joining is higher, but the fees for use can be less compared to those of a private company, depending on your usage of the service.
Private car sharing companies offer car rental services but do not provide the option to purchase membership shares or participate in the governance of the company.
Another option could be peer-to-peer car sharing, where existing car owners make their vehicles available for others to rent for short periods of time.
Peer-to-Peer sharing models act as middle-men, bringing two parties together, screening applicants insurance, managing payments and bookings. With this option, the insurance is managed by the car-owner, and typically the owner has to get special coverage.
Why car share?
Car sharing services can provide drivers with various benefits:
- Drivers don't need to think about car maintenance, ongoing insurance costs, and everyday fuel and parking concerns.
- Allows 24-hour access to different types of vehicles that can be used by the hour, or day.
- Encourages you to also rely on environmentally sustainable methods of transportation including walking, biking, and taking public transit, and can help to reduce daily traffic congestion.
- Can help consumers reduce pollution caused by daily vehicle usage. Some studies estimate that every shared car could replace 15 individually owned vehicles.
Things to consider
- Car sharing services are primarily offered in urban areas.
- Suitable for those who do not need a car every day and have access to other methods of transportation, including walking, transit, carpooling, etc.
- Each organization operates differently and charges may be calculated in various ways including kilometres travelled, length of time used, fuel consumed, or some combination of charges.
Renting a car vs. car sharing
When weighing your options between renting a car and using a car sharing service, think about how often the car is required and is the distance you plan to travel.
If the car is only required once in a while, it may be better to rent a car, rather than pay monthly membership fees to a car sharing service.
Driving the car outside of your city, or going on a trip where the car is required for more than 24 hours, a car rental is usually the better option.
For short trips in the city, such as using the car for a few hours to shop or visit, a car sharing service may be your best bet.
The chart below displays the options of both:
|Car Sharing
|Renting a Car
While it is required that users have a certain level of driving experience and meet minimum age requirements, insurance for car sharing services differ from company to company.
For example, some organizations require pre-existing insurance coverage while others include insurance as part of the package fee.
In other cases, drivers who have no previous insurance record can build one by using the service.
There may also be an annual fee or a deduction if the driver is involved in an at-fault collision.
Consumers should inform themselves of the insurance costs and policies before participating in a car sharing service.

Man, the snake in the close-up photo looks a lot like a copperhead to me. You know your local snakes better than I do, but the BW snakes we had growing up in Florida were much darker with rounder heads and less distinctive markings. Be safe.ReplyDelete
Dude, that was awesome. She'll remember those trips the rest of her life.ReplyDelete
Brent, water snakes and copperheads do look very similar. The picture doesn't do a good job of this but you could tell by the head and color pattern that it wasn't a copperhead. We have brown water snakes here and they are huge. They make a copperhead look like a baby. I saw one on the Haw that I thought was a boa constrictor some one had releasedReplyDelete
Awesome job with the daughter! Nothing better than watching the smile on a kids face erupt after they land a fish. Those snakes are crazy. Glad we don't have a ton of those around me. I hate snakes!ReplyDelete
Looks like a couple of great trips! One thing about starting a family someday that I'm really looking forward to is the chance to hopefully pass on my love for the outdoors to my kids. I've never caught a catfish on the fly, any suggestions on how to do it?ReplyDelete
Great report as always, man. Water snakes are awesome. I used to feed them small bream I would catch all the time, just spot one on the bank and chuck him your catch. Nice fish, and well done on taking the little one with you. She's hooked for life now!ReplyDelete
Joseph, the main thing is you have to find a place where they are thick. They aren't really picky. Any wooly bugger plump style pattern will work. Certain times of the year they are easier to catch than others. In May and August they become really aggressive for some reason. Not sure why exactly. It could be their spawning times. Possibly because May is the first time the water really heats up and late August the water is at it's highest temperature.ReplyDelete


text: Currently the inventory levels for the tractor industry is around 5 weeks or 35 days. CHENNAI: Tractor sales fell 15% for the last three months forcing tractor companies to cut production.While Mahindra & Mahindra has announced it will take between 5-13 no-production days across its various automobile and farm equipment sector plants in the first quarter of FY20, others including Escorts have also reduced production .With the monsoon playing truant this year, the industry is looking at contraction in demand even if demand picks up with kharif sowing. Tractor marketers say the severe drought in key markets like Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu --where demand has gone down by 20%-40% — will impact the overall market as well."Monsoon situation is a worry though in the last few days it has been picking up speed. The reservoir levels are very low and drought is acute. In Maharashtra the market is down by 30-50% and in Tamil Nadu it is down by 20-30% already.," said Shenu Agarwal, chief executive, agri machinery & emerging business, Escorts Limited.Read alsoHeadwinds in tractor business may limit gains for M&MTractor sales plunges for fourth consecutive month in May These markets together comprise just under 10% of the tractor industry and it is thanks to high-growth markets like Madhya Pradesh that the industry has been able to counter their sales drop. As far as dealer inventory goes, he said, Escorts has brought it down to between 21-25 days in the last few years."However in February and March some extra tractors were kept in our depot to cater to the April Navratra which turned out to be a damp squib," said Agarwal. "As a result our inventory was more than we would like to keep and in April, May and June we cut production to reduce our depot inventory," he added. Currently the inventory levels for the tractor industry is around 5 weeks or 35 days."Based on the current trend , markets where demand has slowed we have optimised our stock but in markets with positive demand we have mobilized our resources and inventory," said Raman Mittal, ED, Sonalika Group."Things are not that bad right now (as in 2001-02) and most of the production correction has already been done," said Agarwal.Follow and connect with us on Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, Youtube

Bronco 1/35 SWS 60cm Infrared Searchlight Carrier "Uhu"
|One color options, several license options
|Scott Van Aken
|Includes a photo etch fret
The Schwere Wehrmachtschlepper (Heavy Military Tractor), or sWS for short, was a German World War II half-track flat-bed cargo vehicle used in various roles between 1943 and 1945. The unarmored models were used as supply vehicles and as tractors to haul things. The semi-armored version could mount a medium anti-aircraft gun while the fully armored model carried a 10 barrel rocket launcher (Nebelwerfer). Less than a thousand were built before the end of the war, but production continued after the war of an improved model in the Tatra plant in Czechoslovakia.
Among the modifications made to this vehicle was one where it carried an 60cm Infrared Searchlight. In such a role it was the 'illuminator' for IR detector Panthers. This variant of the sWS was heavily armored as was the norm for these late war vehicles. Just how many were so modified is unknown.
When I opened the box, the sprues looked rather familiar. Sure enough, when comparing these to the Great Wall kit that was released several years ago, I noted that they were identical with one exception. The kit has excellent molding and is packed with bagged sprues all within yet another bag for protection. The tan plastic is devoid of any molding glitches I could see. The kit is quite light on photo-etch, which will please those that don't like working with it. What pieces are included are limited to some detail bits and pieces that would be too fine in plastic. There is an upgrade p.e. set available for those that want to add it.
It has a nicely formed one-piece hull into which the suspension tubes are inserted. The main tires are made up of several layers of tread that are glued together to provide realistic tread depth and basically eliminates the mold seam on the front tires/wheels. Of course, it also makes each one of these a small nine piece model in its own right. As it is an open vehicle, the interior is complete and nicely done. Everything you'd see by standing outside is included and there are a lot of parts. The instructions show that the engine covers can be displayed open, and here is where the difference between this and the GWH boxing comes into play. Bronco has provided a superbly molded engine to fit under the hood. This takes into account the additional sprue provided.
The searchlight and mount take up a considerable number of parts. This is where the big pieces of photo-etch go as they are what are used for the shutters on the light. The mount is also superbly detailed and is placed on a plate that sits atop the cargo compartment of the half-track. The links for the track are separate and it seems they simply snap together, but I'll bet they need to be glued to stay that way.
Instructions are very well done and as with other Bronco kits, provides clear construction steps with detail drawings and areas in color. This is particularly nice when it comes to installing the photo etch. Most color information is saved for the full color exterior painting guide with a five view of the vehicle. Some info is provided for things like the pioneer tools, but not for the engine which I have to guess would be black or unpainted steel. Color references are for Gunze paints. The small decal sheet is for one vehicle; that one shown on the box art. Decals are nicely printed and offer two ready to go plate options plus blanks and separate numbers for a third. Instrument decals are also provided.
Overall, this looks to be an excellent kit. The subject is a bit on the different side, but with so many vehicles covered by other companies, it was probably difficult to find something that would be interesting and German for their first large size kit. I think they found a good match.
