The funds you transfer to the Dasset Custodial Bank Account will be pooled with funds transferred into it by other Approved Users.
We undertake to you that the credit balance of the Dasset Custodial Bank Account will at all times be an amount equal to the aggregate value of the amount of Legal Tender transferred to and received in clear funds to that account by all Approved Users at that time, less the amount of any fees at that time.
You will have no right to earn interest on the amount of Legal Tender reflected in your Legal Tender Account. Dasset will retain the amount of any interest earned on the balance of the Dasset Custodial Bank Account to cover costs incurred in operating the account and providing the Services.
Once Dasset confirms receipt of Legal Tender from you in cleared funds into the Dasset Custodial Bank Account, the value of the transferred Legal Tender less any applicable fees will be credited to your Legal Tender Account as soon as is practicable.

Dasset currently supports the list of Digital Currencies reflected on our exchange site, accessible here. However, the nature of the Digital Currencies that Dasset supports is subject to change, and could change without notice to you if this is required as a result of law, any order of a court of governmental agency, any change to the operating rules in the underlying Digital Currency ’s network, or any technological issue outside of our reasonable control.
Dasset supports only the “advanced protocols” reflected on our exchange site, accessible here. It does not support any other protocols such as metacoins, coloured coins, side chains, or other derivative, enhanced or forked protocols, tokens or coins which supplement or interact with a Digital Currency supported by Dasset.
Dasset will charge the Transaction fees set out in the Fee Schedule, accessible here.
In addition, all Transactions need to be confirmed by ‘miners’ which group transactions into ‘blocks’ and add those blocks to the relevant network underlying the specific Digital Currency. When making a Digital Currency Deposit, you may need to pay the applicable ‘miner fee’ (i.e. network fee) to confirm the transaction on the network. To do this, you need to make sure your transaction includes a sufficient miner fee to be confirmed. Insufficient fees will delay the processing of a Transaction. Dasset may charge miner fees to process a Digital Currency withdrawal on your behalf. If we do so, Dasset will calculate the miner fee in our discretion and notify you of the amount of the fee at or before the time you authorise the Transaction.
We will send you an email confirmation of all transactions relating to your Digital Currency Wallet.
Dasset securely stores all Digital Currency private keys in our control in a combination of online and offline storage. As a result, it may be necessary for Dasset to retrieve certain information from offline storage in order to facilitate a Digital Currency Transaction in accordance with your instructions. This may delay the initiation or crediting of the relevant Digital Currency Transaction for up to 48 hours, or longer in some circumstances.
Dasset will process your Transactions in accordance with your instructions, and you should carefully verify all instructions before placing any Orders. If there is an error in those instructions, then that is your risk and Dasset does not accept any responsibility or liability.
When you transact with another Approved User through the Site (a Counterparty), there is a risk that the Counterparty may cancel the Transaction before the order is executed. You understand that Dasset cannot require a Counterparty to complete any Transaction and is not responsible for liable for any such Counterparty default. If you believe a Counterparty has behaved in a misleading or fraudulent manner, or otherwise in breach of these Terms and Conditions, please notify us immediately at support@dassetx.com so that we can determine what action, if any, to take.
Your Digital Currency Wallet is available only in connection with the Digital Currencies that Dasset supports at any time, in its discretion. As set out in clause 4.3 above, these supported Digital Currencies are subject to change. Dasset assumes no responsibility or liability for any attempt to use your Digital Currency Wallet for Digital Currencies that Dasset does not support at that time.
Dasset does not control or own any of the underlying networks or software protocols that govern the operation of the Digital Currencies supported by Dasset.

Digital Currencies are a risky asset class and trading in Digital Currencies increases those risks. You confirm that you have read the Risks of Use set out here and agree to accept those risks.
The amount or value of the Digital Currencies in your Digital Currency Wallet is not guaranteed or underwritten by Dasset nor by any other person, and you could lose the Digital Currencies, or the value of the Digital Currencies, stored in your Digital Currency Wallet in a short period of time.

Dasset does not make any warranty or representation in relation to any Counterparty and cannot confirm that a Counterparty will perform its Transaction obligations.
Please note: A Transaction is not complete while it is in a pending state. Funds associated with Transactions that are in a pending state will be designated as such and will not be available to conduct other Transactions (including withdrawals).
We can impose any conditions or restrictions on your access to the Transaction Services at any time without prior notice. These may include limits on the number or value of Transactions.
We may impose Transaction limits from time to time. In particular, we reserve the right to review any withdrawals and to request further information before releasing funds for regulatory and fraud prevention purposes.

dasset has the right to refuse to process or to cancel any pending order or transaction at any time if it is required to do so at law or in response to a court or government order, or to enforce transaction limits, or if any suspension event occurs.
digital currencies are a risky asset class and trading in digital currencies increases those risks. you confirm that you have read the risks of use set out here and agree to accept those risks.
the amount or value of the digital currencies in your digital currency wallet is not guaranteed or underwritten by dasset nor by any other person, and you could lose the digital currencies, or the value of the digital currencies, stored in your digital currency wallet in a short period of time. in that case, you will have no recourse to dasset or to any other person for your loss (including loss of profit), or any liability or inconvenience that results.
dasset maintains a private exchange ledger (the dasset ledger) to track each approved user’s legal tender account balance and the digital currencies reflected in his or her digital currency wallet.
entries in the dasset ledger are not recorded on a blockchain or otherwise published. only transfers of digital currencies into, or transfers of digital currencies out of, your digital currency wallet will be confirmed and visible on a blockchain.
dasset does not currently offer any margin trading, options trading, or shorting.
dasset does not make any warranty or representation in relation to any counterparty and cannot confirm that a counterparty will perform its transaction obligations.

we can impose any conditions or restrictions on your access to the transaction services at any time without prior notice. these may include limits on the number or value of transactions.
we may impose transaction limits from time to time. in particular, we reserve the right to review any withdrawals and to request further information before releasing funds for regulatory and fraud prevention purposes.
you cannot revoke or cancel an order once you have placed it. however, you can submit a request to cancel the transaction to which that order relates by clicking on the ‘cancel sells’ or ‘cancel buys’ or ‘cancel all’ button (as appropriate) on the dasset exchange dashboard (a cancellation request).
the cancellation request will only be effective if you submit it before the order is filled.
it is required to do so by a court order or government agency.
dasset maintains the records of these offers in our order book. when dasset’s trading engine matches buy and sell offers in our order book, we record the trade on our dasset ledger. this transfers ownership of the seller’s traded digital currencies to the relevant buyer.

you can place an order to buy digital currency (a buy order) on the dasset exchange. by doing so, you authorise dasset to initiate debits from the applicable dasset wallet and initiate a transfer to your digital currency wallet.
when you place a buy order, the full amount of purchase price and associated fees in currency will be placed on hold or marked as pending in your legal tender account. this means you cannot withdraw or use those funds for any other purpose until the buy transaction settles, expires or is cancelled.
after your buy order has been placed, we will send you an email when it has completed, or if it has only been partially filled, as applicable.
we will use all reasonable efforts to fulfil any buy order. however, if we cannot fulfil your buy order, we may notify you by email and seek your order to fulfil the buy order at the market price.

Technical Abstract: Black-tip (BT) present in wheat kernels is a non-mycotoxic fungus that attacks the kernels wherein any of a number of molds forms a dark brown or black sooty mold at the tip of the wheat kernel. Three spectrometers covering the spectral ranges 950-1636nm (Spec1), 600-1045nm (Spec2), and 380-780nm (Spec3) were evaluated for the ability to predict the presence of black-tip. Kernels with different levels of black-tip damage (BTD) were quantified into four levels: sound (A), low (B) or high (C) black-tip symptom (BTS), and black-tip damaged (D). Discriminant classification models were developed to evaluate combinations of levels. The combinations were 1) A, B, C and D separately; 2) A, B+C, and D; and 3) A+B and C+D. The spectral data for 2,760 kernels obtained from 23 hard red winter wheat samples composing of visually selected thirty kernels for each of the four levels of black-tip severity (A, B, C, and D) were collected with each spectrometer. Discriminant calibration models for each spectrometer and classification category were developed based on (a) three combinations of 17 samples with the six remaining samples used as independent validation, and (b) combinations of 20 randomly-picked kernels from each of the 23 HRW samples as calibration samples with the remaining ten kernels used as validation samples. Discriminant analysis was based on five wavelengths for each model. Spectra pretreatment was the standard normal variate (SNV). Results showed that all three spectrometers were capable of detecting BTD on wheat kernels. BT classification accuracy was observed to have been affected by wheat varieties for Spec1 and Spec2 (both with NIR wavelengths) but not for Spec3, which was purely in the visible region. The 2-category classification (A+B, C+D) provided higher accuracy than 3-category (A, B+C, D) and 4-category classifications (A, B, C, D). Based on percent correct classification and Youden’s index, Spec2 performed better for detecting sound and BT wheat kernels with classification accuracies of the best 2-category classification calibration model ranging from 85.6 to 87.5% compared to Spec1 at 74.8 to 78.4% and Spec3 at 76.7 to 79.2%.

Week 2 of Trek Remastered gives us Devil in the Dark. Don’t expect much in terms of new space effects with Kirk and a few red shirts hunting Horta. That being said this week will mark a Trek Remastered first with some redone (and possibly animated) versions of the old matte paintings. Check our listings for your station and showime (if your local time is not there then send us a tip to add it).
TrekMovie.com will have screenshots and a review up this weekend, and if you see any promos for Trek Remastered let us know.
but you don’t need to wait for that to tell us what you think of Devil in the Dark Remastered.
That promo does a great job not showing the Horta, which since CBS isn’t messing with the aliens, should still look like a big rubberized pile of spaghetti with meatballs.
Wasn’t this episode one of the episodes Leonard Nimoy was nominated for an Emmy- his monologue while mindmelding with the Horta?
Horta Hears a Who ; We are here! We are here!!
In real life, during the shooting of this episode, Bill Shatner’s father passed away. Shatner cites this episode as one of the more meaningful ones to him personally, and his acting in it is very strong. And of course, Josh is right about Nimoy’s acting in this show. FYI, Nimoy was nominated for an Emmy for each of the three seasons of the original run. How he never won an award is deeply disappointing.
Indeed this is an excellent episode and a favorite of mine. It is a huge shame that ST was passed up every year by the Emmy’s.
I just checked Leonard Nimory was indeed nominated every year: 1967, 1968 and 1969 for Outstanding performance by an actor in a supporting role.
Special effects from TOS was also nominated nearly every year and was snubbed every time.
As the Horta burned it’s way into the chamber where Kirk was waiting, we can now see a more realistic ‘rock vaporizing’ effect as the Horta emerges dramatically from the tunnel it created. That was a great spot to update, it really needed it. It’s good to see this: some interior effect shots being enhanced as well.
The ship shots looked fine with the planet and I really enjoyed the ending where the Enterprise flys by the camera in one long shot with the traditional ending of the Enterprise flying into the darkness.
So who won special effects that year over trek? Sister Batrille?
Did anyone else notice the little workers inserted in the matte painting in the office?
Those are the little touches that add so much.
Also, the tracking shot of the Enterprise at the end of the episode was glorious, and a first for Classic Trek, I was hoping a shot similar to this would be used to blend the two shots in the opening titles into one, the Enterprise approaches and instead of switching to a shot as it speeds away, the camera just follows as it zips by at Warp Speed.
I’m really looking forward to seeing the hangar bay and Shuttlecraft Galileo on these remastered episodes.
Oh hell, I love it all!
im not too sure how I feel about this, I’m generally against the “remastering” of classis media just on principle. The chessy SX are part of the appeal of TOS anyway.
I too thought the cruising shot of the enterprise at the end was great. i have to say i was looking forward to seeing more of the “chamber of the ages” oh well.
I would like a ‘middle road’ approach to alien digital enhancements.
Taking one episode as an example, after viewing the Horta in the updated clips, it seems that the original alien props, no matter how cheezy, will not be visually ‘replaced.’ I understand the reasoning behind this decision.
So, instead of entering into an “totally change vs. totally keep” discussion, I have a third suggestion.
Go ahead with keeping the original versions of, for example, Flint’s M-4, Nomad, the Horta, the psudeo Rastafarian Cocker Spaniel (“The Enemy Within” episode) and so on. However, do something with them; digitally add to, erase, airbrush…whatever the most laughable visual elements while retaining the prop’s overall original appearance.
Returning to the Horta example, the obvious, four human limbs moving under the horta prop are what make it visually cheap. So, digitally copy and paste, say, two of those intermittently buldging parts to two, additional areas of the prop as it moves. Resulting in, for example, three moving ‘limbs’ per flank.

Each spring, the Department invites admitted students to come as a group to visit the campus to meet with faculty, learn more about the academic programs and current research, explore some of the research facilities, and spend a weekend immersed in the culture of MIT. The Department typically covers partial travel costs for students (domestic and international) to visit during these weekends. The visiting weekends will be February 28-March 3 and March 14-17, 2019.
We strongly encourage admitted students to visit MIT, regardless of your initial inclination to accept or decline the offer of admission. Obviously, you will be able to make a much more well informed decision about whether MIT is right for you, after spending time with faculty, current students, and your potential classmates in the fall.
Note: These weekends are intended for students admitted to the doctoral track.
We will provide lodging for three nights (double occupancy) and all meals (Thursday evening through Sunday morning).
You will have a great opportunity to spend a weekend with a group of people with whom you may choose to share your graduate experience.
After you have been admitted, you will be asked to list a few professors with whom you would particularly like to meet on the Friday afternoon of your visit. Before the visit, we will send you additional information, including a detailed agenda of the weekend. As you begin planning your visit, please note that we ask you to arrive in Boston Thursday afternoon or evening and to depart Sunday morning.
The hassles of driving around Boston and Cambridge are infamous. We recommend that you use public transportation rather than renting a car if you are coming to MIT from Logan Airport.
We will be pleased to reimburse a portion of your transportation expenses to and from Boston. We will reimburse partial travel-related expenses including any or all of the following: round-trip coach class airfare, mileage at the IRS-approved reimbursement rate for up to 800 miles by car plus highway and bridge tolls; parking fees at airport or hotel; and ground transportation via taxi, shuttle, bus, or subway. As noted above, we will provide for your lodging for three nights (double occupancy) and will reimburse you a maximum of $8.00, $12.00, and $25.00 for any breakfast, lunch, or dinner (respectively) costs you incur between Thursday evening and Sunday morning. (Most of these meals will be provided.) Please keep your receipts for all out-of-pocket expenses as you must submit them for us to reimburse you. You are welcome to request a specific hotel roommate if you know another newly admitted student who will be visiting the Department the same weekend.
Note: in some cases, air fare is significantly reduced if you choose to fly into nearby Providence, RI, and take public transportation to Boston.

Civil rights groups led by the Rev. Al Sharpton plan to announce an ambitious advocacy agenda Wednesday aimed at flexing their political muscle in advance of the 2016 presidential campaign.
controlled Senate to confirm attorney general nominee Loretta Lynch, whose nomination process progressed and then stalled after President Obama put her name forward more than 140 days ago.
level religious objections bills, seen as discriminatory against gays and lesbians, and pressing Congress to advance reforms of the criminal justice system.
“We are already in the season of people announcing their run for president. We can’t wait until 2016 to set the agenda. We need to set that now,” Sharpton said Monday while visiting Washington, where he was attending meetings at the White House and with Education Secretary Arne Duncan and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro.
The agenda will be formalized this week at the annual convention of the National Action Network, Sharpton’s civil rights group. The meeting is the first public convening of the nation’s top civil rights leaders since a spate of police violence sparked unrest in cities across the nation, starting with the shooting of Michael Brown, 18, by a police officer in Ferguson, Mo., last August.
Sharpton said that he plans personally to petition Senate Republicans to hold a floor vote on Lynch’s nomination. He also plans trips to three states where religious objections laws have either been passed or are being considered.
Once a skeptic of the gay rights movement, Sharpton has in recent years emerged as one of its most vocal black supporters. These days, he argues that gay rights should be considered a civil rights matter. He said bringing gay and lesbian groups into the civil rights fold is crucial to bolstering the political power of those working on civil justice issues.
Such issues — gay rights and reforms in policing, criminal justice and prisons — have dominated the national discussion in recent months, opening the door for civil rights groups to claim a higher profile during the presidential campaign, some civil rights leaders say.
This week’s conference will help advance that cause, they say, and help focus efforts to define the issues to be highlighted in 2016.
Campbell is one of several leaders of civil rights organizations — including the heads of the NAACP and the Urban League — who plan to participate in a panel intended to chart a course, and to funnel energy from national protests in favor of policing and criminal justice reforms toward political action and achieving tangible results.
“We need to be working collaboratively around how we apply elevated pressure on the candidates to talk about these issues,” Campbell said.
Sharpton has been a persistent and insistent voice on behalf of reforms in policing and the criminal justice system, and this week’s convention marks the latest shift in the evolution of his tactics. Although he is a lightning rod despised by many police groups, especially the New York Police Department, Sharpton is vowing to take a more considerate line.
At this week’s convention, at least three potential 2016 presidential candidates, all dark horses, will speak: Sen. Bernard Sanders (I-Vt.); former Maryland governor Martin O’Malley (D); and Maryland’s Ben Carson, a retired neurosurgeon and so far the only black person known to be considering a run for the GOP presidential nomination.
A decade ago, it would not have been surprising for Sharpton himself to consider a presidential run. In 2004, he mounted a short-lived campaign for the Democratic nomination. He laughed off the notion that he might pursue a similar strategy in 2016.
