Fire crews tackling a major blaze at the world-famous Glasgow School of Art say they have prevented the destruction of the building's structure and the majority of its contents.
Flames engulfed the Charles Rennie Mackintosh building at around 12.30pm on Friday, with firefighters battling all day to save one of Scotland's most famous structures.
The blaze has now been brought under control after what has been described as a "very black day'' for the institution.
The fire started during a busy time as students worked to complete their end-of-year assessments but everybody was evacuated from the building safely.
The institution is one of Europe's leading art schools, while the listed Mackintosh-designed building is a tourist attraction in its own right.
Construction work started on the building in 1897 after Mackintosh won a design competition while working for Glasgow architects Honeyman & Keppie. It took around 10 years to complete due to funding issues and several alterations were made by Mackintosh during the process.
More than a century later, it still operates as a working building serving hundreds of students.
Indications are the firefighters' efforts today have ensured more than 90% of the structure is "viable'' and up to 70% of contents protected, according to the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.
Assistant Chief Officer Dave Boyle said: "Crews have been working absolutely flat out throughout this very challenging incident and it is clear their effort and skill has saved this treasured building and many of the items it housed.
"While the priority from the outset was to save life we have also been working closely with Glasgow School of Art staff to ensure firefighters conducted an effective salvage operation.
Crews will remain at the scene throughout the night dampening down hot spots, a spokeswoman for the fire service said.
Flames could be seen through the scorched windows and billowing out of the roof of the sandstone building on the corner of the city's Renfrew Street and Scott Street as the fire took hold.
Large crowds gathered near the scene as multiple fire crews tackled the blaze, with several people crying as they watched the events unfold.
Broadcaster Muriel Gray, a former student and current chairwoman of the school, was among those who burst into tears when she saw the building in flames.
She said: "It's been an absolutely devastating day for everyone involved with the School of Art, students who are preparing for their degree show and all the staff.
"We just want to make it clear that we are so grateful to the fire service who responded within four minutes and there were no casualties which is the main thing that we were concerned about.
It is hoped that many of the students' work can be saved.
The fire prompted an outpouring of concern online from those connected to the school, or who hold affection for it.
Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond said on Twitter that his thoughts were with staff and students.
Fran Healy, who studied at GSA before becoming lead singer of Travis, expressed his sadness.
The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) tonight described the blaze as "an international tragedy''.
"The most important work by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, an architect of international significance, Glasgow School of Art is held in the highest regard by architects and the public alike - it was rightly judged to be the best building of the past 175 years, in a nationwide poll run by the Royal Institute of British Architects.
Alex Misick, 25, was helping his girlfriend put the finishing touches to her degree show project across the road in the school's new Reid building when they saw plumes of smoke.
The GSA graduate, now vice president of the Students' Association, said: "I think everyone is in shock. It's soul-destroying.
Earlier, chief officer Alasdair Hay, of the fire service, said: "We regularly attend significant fires but the iconic status of this building is not lost on us.
"Part of our operation is to try and salvage what we can and we worked with colleagues from the school who identified objects of significance that they would like us, if possible, to save.
He could not say what objects were saved.

One Friday night a couple of weeks ago, we converged at Les Amis together with LH, YK, Jo and Amy for a specially prepared dinner featuring a Spring menu by Chef Gunther. It turned out to be THE best meal me and Karen have ever had.
Full Menu, photos thanks to Lee Hong and his trusty D50.
- Salad of fava beans, parmesan flakes, artichoke, egg confit, asparagus (Provencale), rocket and air dried beef from Spain called Cecina de Vacuna.
If you think the food looked fab in the pictures, wait til you taste it! The burst of a surprising concoction of flavors in the mouth…heavenly!
Thanks LH and Amy for organising such a memorable (and ‘mind-blowing’ in Amy’s words) dinner for us.
The mind-blowing bit was that despite it being such a bloody expensive meal, all of us agreed that we should go back regularly.
Ernest needs to sleep less to keep his mind sane.
We just used a regular fork / knife for that. It was the yummiest, creamiest carpaccio of anything I’ve ever tried. Not that carpaccios are supposed to be creamy, but this one was.
Interesting utensils came in at the second last course. Before it was served, the sommelier, also Randy (See), came in with two boxes of brightly coloured knives in a rainbow of colours and told us to pick one. No prizes for guessing which colour I picked.
He told us that they were Laguiole knives and perfectly balanced and weighted for the steak.
As you can tell, it was a rather eye-opening experience for us.
We must have been sufficiently intoxicated by the wines and food that night, cos even at c. $100 a pop (by far the most expensive piece of utensil in my world), I thought the Laguiole knife was worth every cent! Absolutely well-balanced so much so that it felt it could almost keep the right cutting angle by itself, and only needing the fingers to guide it along the piece of meat.

Geoffrey Kolbe obtained his degrees in physics at Imperial College, London University. He then spent ten years doing research as an experimental physicist at Imperial College, and two more years at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the United States, designing and building high precision apparatus to perform challenging and precise measurements to investigate the atomic physics of hot, dense plasmas.
Geoffrey was also a keen three-position target rifle shooter and represented the UK in many international competitions in the UK and in Europe. In 1990, Geoffrey merged his love of shooting and his love of challenging technology to start Border Barrels Ltd., manufacturing rifle barrels for target shooters, barrels for hunters, test barrels for ordnance factories, and high accuracy production barrels for sniper rifle manufacturers. The rifle barrels achieved an enviable reputation for accuracy and were used by Olympic gold medal winners (at least three) and several World champions.
In 2012, Geoffrey Kolbe sold Border Barrels Ltd. But ever ready for a challenge, he started a new company in 2015. Geoffrey had always been frustrated by suppliers of gunsmith tooling in the United States. If a new tool was needed, delivery times were always very extended, and when the tools did arrive, quality tended to be an issue too. So it was that Border Ballistics Technologies Ltd. was founded, to make reamers and gauges for gunsmiths to the quality they need and in the timescale they need.
Geoffrey has since been working hard to put together the necessary machines and other infrastructure to make chamber reamers, headspace gauges and other specialist tooling for gunsmiths. Turnover has grown steadily. Gunsmiths who knew Geoffrey Kolbe's reputation for quality will try a BBT reamer, and Geoffrey is gratified that these gunsmiths convert to using BBT as their supplier of preference.
High quality and fast turnaround are Geoffrey Kolbe's guiding principles and they seem to delivering what the gun trade needs. He wishes that BBT had been around when he had been running Border Barrels Ltd.!

in 2012, geoffrey kolbe sold border barrels ltd. but ever ready for a challenge, he started a new company in 2015. geoffrey had always been frustrated by suppliers of gunsmith tooling in the united states. if a new tool was needed, delivery times were always very extended, and when the tools did arrive, quality tended to be an issue too. so it was that border ballistics technologies ltd. was founded, to make reamers and gauges for gunsmiths to the quality they need and in the timescale they need.
geoffrey has since been working hard to put together the necessary machines and other infrastructure to make chamber reamers, headspace gauges and other specialist tooling for gunsmiths. turnover has grown steadily. gunsmiths who knew geoffrey kolbe's reputation for quality will try a bbt reamer, and geoffrey is gratified that these gunsmiths convert to using bbt as their supplier of preference.
high quality and fast turnaround are geoffrey kolbe's guiding principles and they seem to delivering what the gun trade needs. he wishes that bbt had been around when he had been running border barrels ltd.!

Winter is coming to an end — and right after is the wonderful spring, most of us will hit the gym desperately trying to work off our holiday kilograms. In this post, we take a look at one of the popular training gadgets that do not even require you to go out. Sounds too good to be true? Let’s find out.
EMS training (aka electrical muscle stimulation) has been around for a while. However, recently it’s been massively on the rise in the fitness world. In part, because major athletes like Usain Bolt and Cristiano Ronaldo have admitted to using electrical muscle training themselves. And in part, because we’re all secretly hoping there is a method out there that will help us get in shape without spending a lifetime at the gym.
Truth be told EMS training has been receiving mixed reviews. However, some of the most recent studies have shown that it does have positive effects after long-term use — both as a primary source of exercise for sedentary adults and as an effective addition to an organized fitness routine. In fact, the use of electrical muscle stimulation has been proven to increase muscle strength and was called “a relevant and efficient complement to voluntary resistance training” in a 2011 American study. Whether you’ve already been using muscle stimulation training or just want to see what all the fuss is about, choosing the right EMS machine is key to seeing proper results. In this post, we take a look at the basic EMS muscle stimulator and take you through its main features, functionality, strong and weak points and the basics of use.
The EMS Muscle Stimulator comes with 6 main components. You will have 3 soft hydrogel pads: a large pad for the abdomen and two smaller ones that you can use for arm training, leg training, etc. There are also 3 host/control panels in the box — so you can use all the 3 pads at the same time with the control panel attached to each one of them. Note that you will need 2 AAA batteries to start the workout and these do not come included in the packaging. There’s also a clear English manual so you will have no problem learning how the muscle stimulator works.
How does the EMS Muscle Stimulator work?
Using the muscle stimulator is very easy. All you need to do is insert 2 AAA batteries (not included, will need to be purchased separately) into the host and then attach the host to the hydrogel pads that you want to use. Tear off the back sticker and then attach the hydrogel pad to the part of the body you want to use it on: abdomen, arms, legs, etc. Then press the ON button on the host and watch the indicator lighting up in red. You will feel the pad vibrating — note that it will automatically turn off in about 5 seconds if it is not attached to your body.
Two of the key factors when using a new exercise machine are safety and comfort. Using the EMS muscle stimulator is absolutely safe and while you may experience a strange feeling at the beginning, it is also pretty comfortable — especially when compared it to hours of sit-ups at the gym.
? The EMS stimulator is made of quality material and that’s a very important factor to look at when it’s something you’re going to be wearing on your naked skin. The gel pad is odorless and does not cause any discomfort. So, after a few days of training you will probably not even notice it’s there.
You have training flexibility: the muscle stimulator comes with 6 training modes, so you can adjust between various levels of intensity to match your fitness goals and comfort level.
You can use the stimulator on several parts of your body at the same time. So you can work on your upper abdomen, lower abdomen, arms, hips, ankles, and more.
The best thing about the EMS machine is that you can use it absolutely anywhere. The gel pads are very discreet when worn under clothing so you can even have them on at the office. As the host and gel pads can be separated, wearing them won’t prevent you from doing household chores, relaxing with a book on the sofa, watching TV, and more.
The muscle stimulator is a great way to get your daily portion of activity if you can’t go to the gym or have health issues. It is also a great first step for getting back into shape.
Some EMS machines tend to be on the pricey side — but that’s not the case with the muscle stimulator we are talking about today. It can be yours for just $22.69.
The EMS Muscle Stimulator is a good way to complement your daily exercise routine. Let ’s be honest: it’s not a magical solution for couch potatoes or a miracle device that will get you a six pack in a week. But paired with smart training and a healthy diet, the EMS stimulator can work wonders in getting your muscles more toned and stronger.

Michael Jordan’s empire has expanded vastly since its beginnings in 1984. From the original Jordan 1 to now, Jordan Brand has grown into a complete lifestyle brand. While offering shoes for multiple sports and off the court, the expansion has led Jordan into the realm of fashion.
The ‘Pinnacle’ collection comes full force on the 25th anniversary of Jordan’s first NBA Title in 1991. The main release arrives in the form of a metallic gold Jordan VI, modeled after the NBA’s Larry O’Brien championship trophy and the famed “Security” jacket. The jacket is inspired by those seen in the iconic photo of Jordan exiting his Ferrari before Game 5 of the 1992 Conference Semifinals. The jackets were worn by MJ’s private security outfit, and have been repurposed for the new collection.
Rounding out the new line is a black, tonal warm-up shirt and short sleeve “1991” hoodie. These select pieces will be available Saturday, October 22, 2016, in store at RSVP Gallery. For more information email [email protected]vpgallery.com or call (773) 770-666.

...ExxonMobil’s gas sales precedent agreement — like BP’s — calls for gas to be sold into to the large North Slope gas treatment plant that would be the start of the 807-mile gas pipeline and LNG export project.
AGDC spokesman Jesse Carlstrom said the state-owned corporation is actively engaged in similar discussions with ConocoPhillips.
...In a separate but related development, Mack and Attorney General Jahna Lindemuth also on Monday signed what is being called a “letter of understanding” with ExxonMobil and BP Alaska leaders to suspend key provisions of the 2012 Point Thomson Settlement Agreement as they work on Alaska LNG.
...Specifically, it prescribes that the company choose to either increase production at Point Thomson to more than 50,000 barrels per day of natural gas liquids, or condensates, and pipe up to 920 million cubic feet of natural gas per day into Prudhoe Bay, or simply grow condensate production to 20,000 barrels per day and reinject the gas into the Point Thomson reservoir.
The current Point Thomson facilities have a production capacity of about 10,000 barrels of condensates and 200 million cubic feet of gas per day. However, the technical challenges of producing gas from and reinjecting into the ultra-high pressure field have hampered ExxonMobil’s production ability...,.
I do hope that this government-run enterprise fares better than most run by the govt.
They have spent a lot of money without laying down a stick of pipe. Spent a decade now I believe.

Yup, you read that right. Today on Strong Female Character Friday we're going to talk about a man who's all...man. Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie), aka Falcon, from the absolutely excellent Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Why are we talking about a noticeably male character? Simple. In terms of narrative structure, Sam Wilson is a female character. Or rather, he's a character who in any other story would have been female. And that's rad.
He occupies the role in the story that almost always goes to the cute girl love interest, while Natasha (Scarlett Johansson) has the role that is usually reserved for the best male friend and wingman. They've switched places, and it is glorious.
It's also not the first time we've seen something like this. You may recall back in November that we talked about how Raleigh Becket from Pacific Rim is a movie girlfriend (and a darn good one). Well, Sam Wilson fits into a lot of the same character arc-types as Raleigh, and it's even better because he's a man of color, and he's in a relationship that at the very least could never be confused for a hetero love story.
So, to catch up those five people who still haven't seen Captain America: The Winter Soldier and/or don't read the comics, here's who Sam Wilson is: The best. And also, Captain America's best friend in the present day. In the movie, he's a veteran of the Afghan war who meets Steve while they're both out exercising, and with whom Steve has such an intense emotional connection as to show up on his doorstep when he's being hunted by the government and assume that Sam will help. Which he does.
Sam and Steve first see each other in what can only be considered the "meet-cute" of the film. They're running around the reflecting pool in DC, and they banter and make jokes, and then incredibly quickly start sharing deep and meaningful facts and stories about their lives. Like, they've known each other for five minutes by now. Literally five minutes. Thirty minutes since they first set eyes on each other. And they're already talking about common interests and recommending Marvin Gaye albums to each other? And Sam is already telling Steve to look him up at work?
Imagine that Sam is a girl. It's a unisex name, so it shouldn't be hard. Now, that's the start of a romantic comedy, isn't it? Or at the very least, a romantic subplot in a film. Little cartoon hearts should be flying everywhere.
Then, later, when Steve is feeling disconnected from the world and SHIELD and isn't sure what to trust or where to go, he goes to Sam. A dude he has known about half an hour in actual person-to-person time. He visits Sam at work and they talk, really talk, about their issues and what they want and who they are and Sam is this stabilizing influence, emotional support, and generally does everything you would expect a love interest to do at this stage. You don't even question it really, it just...is.
So then Steve and Natasha get into a whole host of trouble, track down what's really going on at SHIELD, a whole conspiracy thing, you know the drill, and they get hurt, are hunted, and wind up injured and alone, with nowhere else to go. Obviously now they will turn up at the house of the guy that Steve talked to twice.
From an objective standpoint, it really makes no sense why Steve decides to go to Sam, nor does it make any sense why Sam not only lets in Steve and Natasha, but also agrees to help them, going above and beyond what anyone could reasonably expect of him and helping to save the world. It's kind of weird, even, because, again, these two guys have spoken literally twice. Ever. At all. In their lives. And here they are.
But don't you think that's what would happen with a love interest too? I mean, it's so easy to imagine that Steve and Natasha wind up on the doorstep of a woman that Steve has been talking to. A woman that Steve could probably love. Only in this movie, that's not what happens. He doesn't wind up on a woman's doorstep. He's there to talk to a friend.
And this matters. It matters because, first of all, we don't see nearly enough representations of healthy male friendships in the media. Not ones full of emotional honestly, functionality, and truth. That's a pretty rare thing. But also because feminism isn't just about giving women the right to be physically and emotionally strong, it's about giving men the opportunity to feel things, deeply and truly, and express that.
I would argue that by making Natasha into the wingman/best friend/platonic life mate, and Sam into the girlfriend type character, the movie doing something more radical than we first imagined. It's not just giving Black Widow a much needed status boost and letting her take center stage, though that does happen and it is awesome, it's also important to show that a guy can be in that supportive, emotionally stable, relational role. That's kind of a big thing. And to make him a man of color? Even bigger.
Words really can't express how much I love CATWS. I love pretty much everything about it. It's not perfect, no, but it's awfully close. And a lot of that has to do with its revolutionary gender politics. And more. It's a movie that's actually diverse enough to have two whole African-American characters. It has more than two female characters. It has enough people to be slightly complex. That's a very good thing, in case you weren't sure.
And in case anyone is keeping track, heck yes do I think we should have a Falcon movie. I would love that. But I don't want a Falcon movie that would change Sam's established character. I don't need or want an angst-riddled Sam Wilson, nor do I think that it would be beneficial to the storyline to take away the supportiveness and general rad emotional intelligence his character already has.
I want a Falcon movie where Sam Wilson, basically Captain America's movie girlfriend, gets to have his own adventure. I fully believe that he can be both a movie girlfriend and a fully fledged character, because I believe that all movie girlfriends should be fully fledged characters.
Maybe it just takes realizing that Cap's girlfriend is a thirty year old black man to make us see it.
I haven't seen Gangster Squad or Pain & Gain, but of all the recent movies that Anthony Mackie has been in, I've loved them all. He was great in Hurt Locker, great in Cap 2, great in 10 Years, he MADE The Adjustment Bureau. Super talented guy. More....give me more!
Gangster Squad is great, and he is great in it. I haven't seen Pain and Gain. Nor am I particularly apt to?
But yeah, Anthony Mackie is a treasure.
But I don't want a Falcon movie that would change Sam's established character. I don't need or want an angst-riddled Sam Wilson, nor do I think that it would be beneficial to the storyline to take away the supportiveness and general rad emotional intelligence his character already has.
What might be interesting is to go the route of a disaster movie. Maybe have a villain - someone taking advantage of the situation - as a subplot. But the main action be against a natural disaster or major accident.
That would be really interesting. I also think it would work to have Sam up against a villain, a villain with actual superpowers, so that he has to confront the fact that, exo-suit aside, Sam is actually a normal human guy. And he has to fight this bad guy with his wits and strategy, because that's what he has to work with. Make it sort of a meditation on what it means to be a superhero. Does it mean powers? No, it means stepping up and fighting for what's good even when it costs you everything.
That's a good one too. And hey, they could even combine.

lowercased:
yup, you read that right. today on strong female character friday we're going to talk about a man who's all...man. sam wilson (anthony mackie), aka falcon, from the absolutely excellent captain america: the winter soldier. why are we talking about a noticeably male character? simple. in terms of narrative structure, sam wilson is a female character. or rather, he's a character who in any other story would have been female. and that's rad.
he occupies the role in the story that almost always goes to the cute girl love interest, while natasha (scarlett johansson) has the role that is usually reserved for the best male friend and wingman. they've switched places, and it is glorious.
it's also not the first time we've seen something like this. you may recall back in november that we talked about how raleigh becket from pacific rim is a movie girlfriend (and a darn good one). well, sam wilson fits into a lot of the same character arc-types as raleigh, and it's even better because he's a man of color, and he's in a relationship that at the very least could never be confused for a hetero love story.
so, to catch up those five people who still haven't seen captain america: the winter soldier and/or don't read the comics, here's who sam wilson is: the best. and also, captain america's best friend in the present day. in the movie, he's a veteran of the afghan war who meets steve while they're both out exercising, and with whom steve has such an intense emotional connection as to show up on his doorstep when he's being hunted by the government and assume that sam will help. which he does.
sam and steve first see each other in what can only be considered the "meet-cute" of the film. they're running around the reflecting pool in dc, and they banter and make jokes, and then incredibly quickly start sharing deep and meaningful facts and stories about their lives. like, they've known each other for five minutes by now. literally five minutes. thirty minutes since they first set eyes on each other. and they're already talking about common interests and recommending marvin gaye albums to each other? and sam is already telling steve to look him up at work?
imagine that sam is a girl. it's a unisex name, so it shouldn't be hard. now, that's the start of a romantic comedy, isn't it? or at the very least, a romantic subplot in a film. little cartoon hearts should be flying everywhere.
then, later, when steve is feeling disconnected from the world and shield and isn't sure what to trust or where to go, he goes to sam. a dude he has known about half an hour in actual person-to-person time. he visits sam at work and they talk, really talk, about their issues and what they want and who they are and sam is this stabilizing influence, emotional support, and generally does everything you would expect a love interest to do at this stage. you don't even question it really, it just...is.
so then steve and natasha get into a whole host of trouble, track down what's really going on at shield, a whole conspiracy thing, you know the drill, and they get hurt, are hunted, and wind up injured and alone, with nowhere else to go. obviously now they will turn up at the house of the guy that steve talked to twice.
from an objective standpoint, it really makes no sense why steve decides to go to sam, nor does it make any sense why sam not only lets in steve and natasha, but also agrees to help them, going above and beyond what anyone could reasonably expect of him and helping to save the world. it's kind of weird, even, because, again, these two guys have spoken literally twice. ever. at all. in their lives. and here they are.
but don't you think that's what would happen with a love interest too? i mean, it's so easy to imagine that steve and natasha wind up on the doorstep of a woman that steve has been talking to. a woman that steve could probably love. only in this movie, that's not what happens. he doesn't wind up on a woman's doorstep. he's there to talk to a friend.
and this matters. it matters because, first of all, we don't see nearly enough representations of healthy male friendships in the media. not ones full of emotional honestly, functionality, and truth. that's a pretty rare thing. but also because feminism isn't just about giving women the right to be physically and emotionally strong, it's about giving men the opportunity to feel things, deeply and truly, and express that.
i would argue that by making natasha into the wingman/best friend/platonic life mate, and sam into the girlfriend type character, the movie doing something more radical than we first imagined. it's not just giving black widow a much needed status boost and letting her take center stage, though that does happen and it is awesome, it's also important to show that a guy can be in that supportive, emotionally stable, relational role. that's kind of a big thing. and to make him a man of color? even bigger.
words really can't express how much i love catws. i love pretty much everything about it. it's not perfect, no, but it's awfully close. and a lot of that has to do with its revolutionary gender politics. and more. it's a movie that's actually diverse enough to have two whole african-american characters. it has more than two female characters. it has enough people to be slightly complex. that's a very good thing, in case you weren't sure.
and in case anyone is keeping track, heck yes do i think we should have a falcon movie. i would love that. but i don't want a falcon movie that would change sam's established character. i don't need or want an angst-riddled sam wilson, nor do i think that it would be beneficial to the storyline to take away the supportiveness and general rad emotional intelligence his character already has.

While Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have gained mainstream notoriety, it remains unlikely any Bitcoin exchange traded fund (ETF) will appear on the New York Stock Exchange any time soon.
That prediction comes from Tom Farley, the president of NYSE Group that oversees the New York Stock Exchange. While speaking with Bloomberg at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, Farley said Bitcoin ETFs still have a ways to go before clearing the necessary regulatory hurdles.
There have been a number of efforts to get a Bitcoin ETF off the ground, along with gain similar acceptance for other cryptocurrencies but none of the attempts have proven successful thus far, falling short of gaining approval from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
Perhaps the most notable failure thus far was the Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust ETF, backed by twin entrepreneurs Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss of Facebook fame. The effort was rejected by the commission after it found the proposed fund was susceptible to fraud due to the digital currency’s unregulated nature.
The concept behind the Winklevoss ETF and others like it is to create a stock fund tied to the price of Bitcoin (or another cryptocurrency), which would allow investors to purchase the currency without holding it directly. The fund would work in the same way that a person can investment money into another commodity like gold.
ETFs would have helped lower the barrier of entry that comes with the cryptocurrency, which can require some technical know-how. Currently, acquiring cryptocurrency requires people to create a unique bitcoin wallet and the ability to “mine” for bitcoin by lending their computing power to blockchain transactions.
Investors in a bitcoin ETF wouldn’t be able to make purchases using Bitcoin but would be able to buy and sell it at its listed value, which would benefit the cryptocurrency economy by creating more liquidity in the market.
The SEC is still approaching cryptocurrencies with a critical eye. Earlier this month, the commission raised a number of investor protection concerns about cryptocurrency mutual funds and ETFs in a letter to industry groups.
In the letter, the SEC asked questions about the potential for currency manipulation, challenges regarding setting an accurate value for a product tied to volatile markets, and how demand to redeem the virtual currency would be met, among other questions.

text: “EMINENTLY PROVOCATIVE AND READABLE.”—THE WALL STREET JOURNAL Sir Alistair Horne has been a close observer of war and history for more than fifty years and in this wise and masterly work, he revisits six battles of the past century and examines the strategies, leadership, preparation, and geopolitical goals of aggressors and defenders to reveal the one trait that links them all: hubris. In Greek tragedy, hubris is excessive human pride that challenges the gods and ultimately leads to total destruction of the offender. From the 1905 Battle of Tsushima in the Russo-Japanese War, to Hitler's 1941 bid to capture Moscow, to MacArthur's disastrous advance in Korea, to the French downfall at Dien Bien Phu, Horne shows how each of these battles was won or lost due to excessive hubris on one side or the other. In a sweeping narrative written with his trademark erudition and wit, Horne provides a meticulously detailed analysis of the ground maneuvers employed by the opposing armies in each battle. He also explores the strategic and psychological mindset of the military leaders involved to demonstrate how devastating combinations of human ambition and arrogance led to overreach. Making clear the danger of hubris in warfare, his insights hold resonant lessons for civilian and military leaders navigating today's complex global landscape. A dramatic, colorful, stylishly-written history, Hubris is a much-needed reflection on war from a master of his field.
