At 10pm on the 24th April 1918 the British artillery opened on the village of Villers-Bretonneux as the two brigades of the AIF, the 15th Brigade to the north and the 13th Brigade to the south, prepared to counter-attack and to encircle and then regain the village. Within five minutes the German barrage started to fall on the assembly positions and at 10.10pm with all battalions in position the attack commenced. For the 51st Battalion of the 13th Brigade they had to pass a wood on their left which had supposedly been cleared by the British earlier in the day but flares were soon in the air and German machine-guns enfilading their advance. Pressing on to their objective at Monument Wood would have been futile at this stage so the local decision was taken by Lieut. Sadlier (photograph below) to attack the wood and bomb the guns out. His attack for which he was awarded the Victoria Cross was extraordinarily bold taking the German machine-gunners by surprise and with the Western Australians fighting wildly in the dark and amongst the trees. By this audacious attack all the machine guns along the edge of the wood were eventually silenced and a great danger was removed from the flank of the advancing brigade. To the centre and right better progress was made, but in one incident they ran into a party from the 2nd Devon and 1st Worcester who unaware of the counter-attack thought that they were being attacked by Germans from the rear. As the 13th Brigade advanced they had to now negotiate the diagonally running wire entanglements that had been erected to stop the Germans, who by now had positioned their outposts on the other side of the wire. By morning the wire was lined by the dead of the 52nd and 51st Battalions. Some 500 yards beyond lay a stronger line of defenders but once having engaged with their Lewis guns the Australian line rushed yelling and shouting and the Germans, newly arrived from the eastern front and not used to this ferocity, turned and ran as the 52nd chased the fleeing parties into the dark between the Monument and Hangard Woods The 51st on the left, whose progress had been hindered earlier by the fire from the woods plus the railway embankment that ran to the south of the village, reached a quarry in which several British wounded who had lain there since the previous morning were found, along with a German tank lying on its side. However the objective at Monument Wood was becoming less achievable as the attack moved forward with the Germans to the left and rear in the village, and the 7th Bedford’s on the right not in contact with a flanking company so a decision was made to establish a defensive line on the high ground behind the quarry. Although short by between a quarter and a mile from their objective, they had still pushed forward a mile and in a position to squeeze out the Germans in the village if the 15th Brigade to the north were able reach its objective. | <urn:uuid:0325947f-6e40-4f11-9952-66a1b6602eb7> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://anzac-22nd-battalion.com/2018/04/24/24th-apr-1918-australians-launch-counter-attack-at-villers-bretonneux/ | 2022-10-05T09:02:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337595.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20221005073953-20221005103953-00679.warc.gz | en | 0.991033 | 605 | [

Y’know when you have those mornings where you don’t know what to make and also last you for a couple hours? SAME.
Back last year when I was on Slimming World, I was googling recipes to try out instead of having cereal or toast all the time it came up with the breakfast bake. It has now become one of my fave dishes and can be made to be as filling as you want and put together in less than 10 minutes. Ooooh, it is also just a little three step method so this can literally be done so quickly too.
The Main Ingredients
Other Additional Ingredients
#1 – Cook any meat until it is browned and set aside.
#2 – Place the bake in any order you preferred (even though it will probably be mixed all together once its cooked anyway). My order starting from the bottom was beans, bacon, cheese, beans, egg, cheese then sausage. This would also be the time to add in any other ingredients you like such as mushrooms to make it more filling for you.
#3- Place in the oven for 13 minutes on 200oc – this might vary from oven to oven as I like to have a runny egg but hard to keep track by looking through the glass.
#4 – Voila! | <urn:uuid:c4e2f475-ff49-48bf-a3de-8917458e5c1b> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://louisegyoung.com/2019/03/24/how-to-breakfast-bake/ | 2022-10-05T08:33:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337595.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20221005073953-20221005103953-00679.warc.gz | en | 0.969593 | 299 | [

The Financial Reform Bill, which I’ve nicknamed The Let’s Not Allow Our Largest Donors To Embarrass Us Again Act of 2010, is not a total failure, but it fails miserably to address perhaps the worst part of the crisis – Too Big To Fail.
The bill doesn’t really address the Hexopoly of Too Big To Fail Banks. I’m also calling these The Systemic Six.
The big six banks (Goldie, Morgan, JP, B of A, Wells and Citi) will be limited in their hedge fund investments and trading activity, but not very limited. The interconnectedness, however, is unchanged, and this is the very crux of the matter.
Citi was saved to prevent it from dragging Wells down, Wachovia, Merrill, Morgan were all “assisted” to prevent Goldman and JPMorgan Chase from going down, and on and on. We were told that the dominoes were already falling after Lehman and so emergency measures (bailouts) were necessary.
And for arguments sake, let’s say this was true at the time or was the best option to prevent the Depression. OK, fine. But so why doesn’t the new legislation address that and seek a change for the fact that these six banks (and others) can cause such a massive chain reaction? It’s a shocking gap in the provisions of the bill.
And don’t even get me started on the Fannie and Freddie omission (consider those cans kicked down the road). If Finance Reform were a wedding, Fannie and Freddie would be placed at the farthest table from the action, over by the kitchen doors like the ugly cousins of the banks that they truly are.
Oh well, maybe we’ll get it right after the next economic evisceration. For now, The Hexopoly or The Systemic Six are here to stay. | <urn:uuid:7fa0857a-48cc-4578-8aec-54605a8efaab> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://thereformedbroker.com/2010/06/28/which-has-a-better-ring-the-hexopoly-or-the-systemic-six/ | 2022-10-06T16:54:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337853.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20221006155805-20221006185805-00679.warc.gz | en | 0.955279 | 401 | [

The second of Barnardo’s ‘Believe In Me’ awareness-raising adverts launches today, highlighting the issue of child sexual abuse.
The advert is designed to shine a spotlight on Barnardo’s tireless work; every year they support thousands of children and young people who have been sexually abused and exploited. This crucial work wouldn’t be possible without the support of the public.
The advert, which focuses on Barnardo’s specialist support for young people affected by sexual abuse or exploitation, will air for the first time tonight. It shows a young girl looking nervous and ill at ease in a masculine-looking bedroom. As she sits on the bed, a computer-generated Komodo dragon emerges from the bathroom and makes a slow and terrifying advance towards her. Through the advert the audience is shown that she is the subject of online grooming; whose abuser coerces or manipulates her into a sexual relationship that she feels powerless to escape from.
The komodo dragon represents the feelings of abuse the young girl has suffered. Using an animal as a metaphor keeps the focus on the child at the heart of the story and allows the audience to connect with the feelings she is experiencing. It also allowed us to avoid depicting an abuser in a particular way; adults who sexually abuse children come from all walks of life. The powerful and indifferent way the dragon moves in the film is a reflection of how helpless and vulnerable she is; it helps to give a singular focus to her story and experience.
At the end of the 40 second commercial, it is revealed to us that the girl is recounting her story of abuse to a specialist Barnardo’s counsellor and she is receiving the support she needs to move forward positively with her future.
Creative agency FCB Inferno created the films in partnership with production company Rogue Films, award-winning director Sam Brown, VFX experts The Mill, and sound studio Factory. It is the latest instalment in Barnardo’s ‘Believe In Me’ campaign, and was preceded by ‘Hyenas’ which aired last year.
Owen Lee, Chief Creative Officer at FCB Inferno said:
“You don’t often see fantastical elements in charity ads and the quality of the CGI in this film is stunning – which makes it simultaneously difficult to watch yet impossible to tear your eyes away from. The komodo dragon is deliberately disturbing but it allows us to draw the viewers’ attention to the horrors of sexual abuse. Barnardo’s do amazing work and we are very proud to help tell the stories of these incredible young people.”
The stories are depicted by actors but are based on real-life experiences of some of the children supported by the UK’s largest children’s charity. Staff working in children’s services for Barnardo’s have been consulted to ensure emotions are represented authentically and a child sexual abuse services representative was present during filming.
Barnardo’s Chief Executive Javed Khan said:
“There’s no doubt that ‘Komodo’ is a harrowing advert to watch. But it was really important for us to reflect the feelings of children who have suffered this kind of abuse, and the life-changing work Barnardo’s does to support them.
“At Barnardo’s we believe all children can recover from trauma and go on to achieve a positive future. But to help keep children safe we need better awareness and understanding of child sexual abuse, among parents, professionals, government, and the public, so children at risk are identified earlier and given the support they need.”
Barnardo’s has been supporting children and young people affected by sexual abuse for more than 25 years and now delivers specialist services across the UK. Their practitioners support young people’s recovery by rebuilding their confidence and self-esteem, and by helping their families, schools, and social networks make sense of what has happened. It is often long-term and complex work. Barnardo’s also work in partnership with other voluntary sector and statutory sector organisations to promote joined-up responses for children and their families, and create strong support networks. | <urn:uuid:689a7131-a9a2-4d85-954b-06ecc28c592a> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://ethicalmarketingnews.com/barnardos-and-fcb-inferno-launch-new-believe-in-me-awareness-raising-film | 2022-09-26T06:59:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030334802.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20220926051040-20220926081040-00079.warc.gz | en | 0.958044 | 871 | [

Maple Trees – Buying & Growing Guide
Maple trees are ubiquitous in the continental U.S., found in countless back yards and lining urban streets. There’s a good reason for that: they are attractive, yes, but they are also tough and easy to grow. They grow easily from seeds, cuttings, or established saplings, and they reward the gardener with an attractive shade feature for the garden as well as spectacular fall color.
How to Grow Maple Trees
How to plant Maple trees
Although you can plant a maple tree any time the ground isn’t frozen, early fall is the best time, as they will begin to establish themselves until the ground freezes and then have winter to rest before growing actively in the spring. Choose a location that gets full sun (6-8 hours daily) or close to full sun, and with well-drained soil. Maple trees can grow to 100 feet tall, so keep them well away from buildings or overhead utility lines.
Dig a hole that’s three times as wide and just as deep as your sapling’s root ball. Unpot or unwrap your tree and tease out any roots that are encircling the root ball, as they may suffocate the plant. Amend the soil on the bottom of the hole with compost, and place your tree on top so that the top of the root ball is even with the soil line. Fill in the hole with topsoil that’s been mixed with compost.
Tamp down the soil to eliminate air pockets and water your tree deeply. Add a layer of organic mulch around the base of the tree, being careful that it doesn’t touch the trunk. Mound the mulch up into a low berm at the outer edge of the root zone so that water will stay inside and soak in by the roots rather than running off.
How to achieve maximum results
Choosing the right site for your maple tree is the first step toward achieving maximum results. It may not seem that your tiny sapling could grow to great heights, but maples are a tall tree with a broad canopy, so give them lots of space to spread out. They like a soil of between 5.0 and 7.0 pH — a quick soil test will tell you what you’ve got. Some maples are more tolerant of shade than others, but generally, maples will thrive as long as they have four or more hours of direct sun a day.
How to Care for Maple Trees
Watering and nutrients
Your sapling will need more water (about an inch or so a week) when newly planted; once it is established and has worked its roots into the soil, you shouldn’t need to do supplemental watering unless you’re experiencing drought conditions. Keep your eye on the leaves, though — if you see wilting, that may be a sign it needs more water.
Don’t fertilize your maple tree at planting time. Wait until the following spring, and then give it a feeding of a slow-release, balanced fertilizer. One annual feeding is sufficient. Adding a layer of well-rotted compost under the mulch once a year will also help spur growth.
Maple trees produce small pale flowers in the spring. These are wind pollinated, although the trees may also be visited by nectar-loving insects such as bees. The flowers fall from the trees by mid-summer, leaving behind v-shaped seed pods that are often called “helicopters.” These are spread by the wind and can travel quite a distance on a good updraft.
Prune your maple tree in late winter, before the buds break. Remove any broken or diseased branches, as well as those that mar the form. Take out branches that are rubbing against each other, as well. If the center of the tree seems crowded, take out a few branches to allow air and light to circulate freely through the tree.
Pests, diseases, and animals
Mites and pear thrips may bother your maple tree, as well as aphids, which can be dealt with organically by purchasing ladybugs, which eat them and will also tackle scale infestations. A general insecticide will also help, although a healthy maple tree can fight off a minor infestation with no help.
Diseases of the maple include anthracnose and bacterial leaf scorch. The best way to handle anthracnose is to plant a resistant variety, but spraying with a copper fungicide will also help. Leaf scorch can be avoided with good horticultural practices: keep the area around your tree free of debris, ensure good drainage, and water at ground level. | <urn:uuid:25317f58-c236-4ba9-adfa-4179c6f98ce5> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.trees.com/maple-trees | 2022-09-26T07:14:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030334802.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20220926051040-20220926081040-00079.warc.gz | en | 0.954924 | 1,209 | [

As Harold Wilson said, ‘a week in politics is a long time’, and these past seven days have certainly proved his point.
David Cameron, George Osbourne and their team have departed Downing Street, and we have a new Prime Minister. Theresa May has surrounded herself with an interesting team. Although there are the odd exceptions, she has been remarkably shrewd in some of her appointments. A man to watch is Nick Timothy, one of the PM’s closest advisors and destined to become her chief of staff. He has obviously been very influential in her selection, and wrote the speech she gave on the steps of Downing Street.
Mr Timothy, who was a strong supporter of Brexit, has a very healthy distain for the ‘establishment’, the long term results of which will be interesting to watch.
Boris Johnson as Foreign Secretary was inspirational. He is highly intelligent, he has a deep knowledge of history, and our relationship with the rest of the world. This role will suit his character and ability far better than had he by default, ended up as PM.
His ability to charm, and his diplomatic negotiating skills, will, along with his fellow Brexiteers, David Davis and Liam Fox ensure Britain’s relationship and dealings with Europe and the rest of world are successful and work. They believe in Great Britain and see the advantages and opportunities awaiting as we unshackle ourselves from the crumbling EU, and the collapse of the Euro.
Andrea Leadsom has replaced Liz Truss at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, and George Eustice who remains in post, will be a formidable team, and will reassure farmers and related agricultural industries. They understand their task, and have a plan of action ready to make a success of Brexit. They have been working towards this possible outcome for years.
“The majority of British people want a Britain”, as former MP Michael Ancram said some years ago, “where people count, are free to control their own lives, and to enjoy the fruits of their own efforts, with their rights protected, and where local communities matter and being ‘the Good Neighbour’ comes naturally”.
“A Britain where the State does only what it must, where quality replaces dogma in the provision of public services, where low taxation is an established objective and where regulation is the exception. A Britain where the family within the community is valued, where the distinction between right and wrong means something, where the legitimate and historic rights of minorities are defended and the Rule of Law is respected”.
“And a Britain where defence of our sovereignty is paramount, where pride in our country is encouraged, and where our Union Jack becomes again a symbol of stability and of hope in an increasingly turbulent world”. His wise words are now deeply relevant, let us hope these are the principles which the new Prime Minister, will champion with her new team, now that we are once more truly in control of our destiny.
Summer has arrived, and the sunshine is lifting the spirits. Although we have now almost filled the barns with sweet smelling meadow hay, having dodged the recent torrential rainstorms; unfortunately the relentless wet conditions have taken a toll.
The incessant rain throughout the winter which continued until only recently, has hugely affected the arable crops, particularly on the heavier land. With the help of our agronomists farmers have fought valiantly against diseases and the scourge of Black Grass, but ground conditions and the high humidity have proved challenging this year. Our crops which earlier in the season looked terrific and looked to yield well, now appear disappointing. Commodity prices remain low, which make our diversification enterprises increasingly important to sustain a regular income. | <urn:uuid:a12669ff-5fce-48c5-a8e7-e4589d2cdfba> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.carolagodmanirvine.com/blog/a-week-in-politics-is-a-long-time-20-july-2016 | 2022-09-30T06:13:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335444.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20220930051717-20220930081717-00079.warc.gz | en | 0.974612 | 769 | [

It is almost that time of year again. When we put on a hat and gardening gloves, we go out to bask in the sun and play in the ground. Gardening has always been an interesting piece of my life, as a child I cried if I had dirty hands and gloves were not my favorite fashion accessory. So when I moved to Erie I knew that I had to learn to overcome the phobia of dirt and grow all the beautiful flowers and produce what I dreamed I could do. So I came up with some tips that I learned through trial and error and some education.
The 8 best gardening tips:
1. Plan ahead. Determine how much space you have and where it is located, preferably sunny and free from any disturbance as a child or pet. Plan what you want to plant, draw an image to help you understand where things will go and how. Don’t forget to include the different sowing stages in early spring, late spring, early summer, late summer and autumn.
2. When planning, think about quality, not quantity. This was the most difficult lesson for me to learn. My first year, although I had planned the space, I didn’t know how much each plant would produce. As a result, I had more tomatoes than I could eat or give away and not enough of some of the other items, such as cucumbers because the quality of the plants was not as good as they could have been. Quality plants may be a little more expensive but they will provide quality products.
3. Plant complementary plants to help your garden be the best. This can be to help each plant grow better or perhaps to repel pests. We all have complementary friends, so your plants should too!
4. Think outside the box! Not all gardens need to be in perfect rows. If you are short of space, think about taking it vertically or use some different types of containers and the results will amaze you.
5. Work with your soil. Poor soil quality will damage your efforts. There are many things you can do to help, but the first step should be testing a soil pH. The kits are available online or even in your home goods store.
6. Recycle waste to help give your garden a little miraculous encouragement. Composting is an excellent way to go. In my experience composting can be complicated or as simple as you do. I think if something is simple you are more likely to do it, so start from there and then progress if you want. If composting isn’t your thing, you can always do just a few things like adding coffee grounds and egg shells. Both have great nutritional properties and deterrence for parasites.
7. Pest … Well, as a city girl, one of the hardest things for me was to treat parasites. My husband jokes that we spend a lot of time and effort in making parasites disappear for me. However, in gardening there are good pests that are certainly in demand! So my advice is to provide your garden with good and useful pests such as ladybugs, wigs and ground beetles that will feast on aphids, snails and mites that make a garden sad. If you find a praying mantis in your garden, it will also help you keep those annoying pests away. Finally, don’t forget those big earthworms to mix the soil. Anyway the lesson has learned for me that not all bugs are bad!
8. Have fun !!! The most important advice about gardening. Even if you can’t follow any of the other suggestions mentioned, just go out and do it! The health benefits go far beyond that great flower show or produce the harvest! Gardening is an excellent form of physical activity, it improves mood and helps reduce stress. It is also a great hobby to do with children.

Washington, D.C. is home to some of the most amazing museums in the world. Even better, most of them are free. This is my first feature on specific works of art that I find interesting and want to share. I love art of all kinds, and if this particular piece isn’t your cup of tea, don’t worry, all types of art will be featured here.
First up is Snails Space with Vari-Lites, “Painting as Performance” by David Hockney. It was created between 1995-96. Hockney was born in Bradford, England but adopted California as his home. Many believe that Snail Space summarizes his career and his belief that art should “overcome the sterility of despair.” Hockney used to arrange canvases around his studio, paint the floor, and invite guests to step into the world of his paintings. This installation does much the same.
Below, this is actually just one single painting. The angle of the light, and the hue of the light, changes and transforms the painting. Here are highlights of the changes:
I passed this painting by many times. It is set in this huge box of a black room with a single bench in front. Often I didn’t have time, or dismissed the image as another abstract. Sometimes the intimacy of young couples sitting on the bench, transfixed, arms around one another, head on the other’s shoulder, made me feel as if I were intruding.
After more than twenty visits to this museum, I finally had a chance to sit and fully experience it last week. The change of colors is beautiful. It reminded me of all the times I’ve bought a paint color for my home and it looked different than I’d imagined. It reminded me of the light shows in my own garden as the sun moves over the trees, causing each in turn to be spotlighted for a few seconds — so incredibly beautiful.
I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I did the installation! | <urn:uuid:6720dcaa-8420-435f-bc14-854693032ed0> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://topsecretwashington.com/2016/04/25/museum-mondays-snail-space-by-david-hockney-at-the-smithsonian/ | 2022-10-01T13:42:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030336674.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20221001132802-20221001162802-00079.warc.gz | en | 0.978574 | 426 | [

...must come to an end. This includes Commercial union House that has houses our LoRaWAN station.
As a result of the ongoing redevelopment in the city we have been given notice and will be moving out of the building by mid-September at the latest. At some point in September the station will be taken down and will remain offline for a few weeks while we move everything.
We have a backup location for it that will cover the centres of Newcastle and Gateshead, but will have nothing like the coverage it has at the moment. That said we are still looking for a better location and we might find one. If you can help then please make contact.
If you were interested we are receiving over 38,000 messages a month.

Green Lantern Animated Series One Year Anniversary
One year ago I remember sitting at home glued to the television as the one hour Green Lantern: the Animated Series pilot aired on the Cartoon Network. While recently it has been a bit of a disappointment in how the show has been handled by the channel, my love of the show burns brighter than the rage in Atrocitus’ heart. As a fan of Green Lantern since the early 1970’s I couldn’t be happier with the show and the great amount of love that has been poured into it so far. I continue to be impressed with how the galaxy spanning lore has been intricately woven into a twenty minute Saturday morning cartoon without losing anything.
So while we are waiting for the show to return for its undeserved hiatus let me say this to the many fine talented people who work on the show. THANK YOU for making Green Lantern: The Animated Series one of the highest points in the history of the characters. Thank you for paying homage to the rich history while still crafting stories which entertain an audience of any age or exposure level. Thank you for showing how great Green Lantern can translate to other mediums when the right people are involved. And thank you for being so open to the fans who have embraced this wonderful show.
January seems like such a long ways away, so if you’re like me and really missing the show, here’s some ways to pass the time. We have been more than happy to make the animated series a part of the Blog of Oa and Podcast of Oa and you can find all of our Green Lantern: The Animated Series coverage, reviews and more by clicking here.
Green Lantern: The Animated Series producer Giancarlo Volpe released today a humorous video compilation consisting of acting references they provided to the animators to aid them in putting the show together – check it out!
Speaking of Giancarlo Volpe – the guy was gracious enough to provide us with some of his time and joined us on our first anniversary podcast. You can listen to the podcast here and read a transcript here. Giancarlo regularly talks about the show on Twitter and he’s also the co-star of the tremendously entertaining Big Pull Podcast.
The Podcast of Oa is happy to present a series of DVD commentary tracks for the animated series. While we have recorded the first two at the time of this writing, more are on their way. You can find the corresponding podcast episodes here.
The first thirteen episodes have so many great scenes that it’s hard to narrow it down to just ten. Compare your favorites to the list of our top ten moments so far.
The score for the animated series is pretty darn spectacular and if you haven’t gotten it yet consider adding it to your music collection. You can read our review here and the can be found in both CD and digital formats from most digital music services. If you haven’t seen the videos that producer Giancarlo Volpe shared of the soundtrack being performed live in Spain, check them out here – they are a real treat.
If you don’t already own the DVD’s they are pretty easy to find and are one way to enjoy the show while we’re waiting for it to return. We reviewed the DVD’s here and of course you can find the episodes digitally on Tunes, both video game console marketplaces and of course Amazon.com where you can find both the soundtrack, the series and a 2013 calendar. | <urn:uuid:94ceb06b-3949-4b89-8255-8f2d8b793d61> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.blogofoa.com/2012/11/green-lantern-animated-series-one-year.html | 2022-10-04T08:00:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337480.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20221004054641-20221004084641-00079.warc.gz | en | 0.945663 | 825 | [

DENVER, CO., April 13, 2022—Natural gas produced in the United States can end Europe’s dependence…
National award highlights company’s focus on responsibly produced gas from well-head to its customers
PINEDALE, WYO., June 10, 2021 – The American Society of Reclamation Scientists (ASRS) today named Jonah Energy Reclamation Specialist Josh Sorenson as its “Reclamationist of the Year.” Sorenson is the first recipient from the oil and gas industry in the 37-year history of the award.
The annual award recognizes individuals who demonstrate outstanding accomplishments in the practical application or evaluation of reclamation technology, as well as individuals responsible for implementing innovative practices or designs for new reclamation strategies. It was presented as part of the ASRS 2021 annual business meeting held today. Sorenson was selected for developing and advancing the reclamation process on oil and gas well sites and right of ways in the Jonah Field, located in Sublette County, Wyo. He implemented a management program to control invasive plant species, while reducing pesticide applications and increasing native pollinator plants.
As a result of Sorenson’s work, hundreds of acres of land have been fully restored and enhanced over a decadent sagebrush community. The reclaimed land now has greater vegetative diversity and production, which provides a more suitable habitat for wildlife in the unique and challenging sage brush steppe environment. This success is documented by federal and state agency recognition of habitat restoration with thousands more acres in the reclamation process.
“We are proud of the work Josh has done and this award is recognition of the innovation and professionalism he brings to the important work of reclamation and habitat conservation,” said Jonah Energy President and CEO Tom Hart. “Josh’s work is an important component of our responsibly produced gas program, which focuses on environmental sustainability across our operations. It’s great to see a pro like Josh get the recognition he deserves.”
“I’m honored to receive this award and proud to work for a company that supports strong reclamation and recognizes its importance in the overall planning and production of resources in the Jonah Field,” Sorenson said. “We have an obligation to minimize our impact and preserve & enhance habitat so wildlife and future generations can enjoy it.”
Prior to his work for Jonah Energy, Sorenson spent time as a rangeland and natural resource specialist with the U.S. Forest Service. He holds a BS degree from the University of Wyoming and a master’s degree from Texas A&M University.
Jonah Energy is an oil and gas exploration and development company operating in the Jonah and Pinedale Fields in Sublette County, Wyoming. The company is one of the largest privately held natural gas producers in the US and focuses on producing natural gas in an environmentally responsible manner.
The American Society of Reclamation Sciences (ASRS) is a professional society of international prominence, including members from 20 countries. ASRS's professional interests include all aspects of land reclamation and the protection and enhancement of soil and water resources, regardless of the source of the disturbance. | <urn:uuid:eb069e85-f35a-4bf1-aae6-d46f4c3d16f7> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.jonahenergy.com/jonah-energys-josh-sorenson-named-reclamationist-of-the-year-by-asrs/ | 2022-10-05T16:14:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337631.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20221005140739-20221005170739-00079.warc.gz | en | 0.948826 | 651 | [

Can you please suggest me what to do to acheive the below setup using Cisco router.
My main objective is to be able to achieve two-stage dialing i.e. dialing into the route using the POTs/PSTN line which would be attached to it, entering the desired telephone number using DTMF, and then having the call sent to our Class 4 softswitch using SIP, for onward termination.
I have been suggested to use either of the below modular access routers with VIC2- 2FXO Card.
Do you think this setup will work. Will I be able to dial into the router by using the PSTN Line attached to it and then after a announcement/beep or any other indication dial the 2nd number which is our desired number and then that number gets routed to our class 4 switch.
Can anyone explain how this setup will actually work? | <urn:uuid:c598db73-2d09-4764-9815-6cf29fca4e1b> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://community.cisco.com/t5/voice-over-ip/two-stage-dialing-using-fxo-card/m-p/2008076 | 2022-10-06T23:51:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337889.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20221006222634-20221007012634-00079.warc.gz | en | 0.939326 | 205 | [

Memorial High's Claire Sievern also competed Friday.

Minutes from the December 17-18 meeting, after which the central bank announced its plan to reduce monthly asset purchases by $10 billion to $75 billion, could give further insight into the reasons behind the decision and offer clues about how quickly the Fed will wind down the stimulus. The minutes will be released on Wednesday.
Stocks rallied following the Fed's decision because it confirmed to many that the U.S. economy was on firmer footing and ended uncertainty over when the central bank would finally reduce its stimulus, which was the driver of the S&P 500's gain of nearly 30 percent last year.
Recent data, including Thursday's factory activity report, confirmed underlying strength in the economy, suggesting the Fed was justified in its move.
But investors will be anxious to see whether that strength also is evident in the December U.S. nonfarm payrolls report, due on Friday. The Fed has tied its policy in part to jobs data. In its December announcement, the Fed said it "likely will be appropriate" to keep overnight rates near zero "well past the time" that the U.S. jobless rate falls below 6.5 percent.
"The expectation is, we're going to hear things are good. Otherwise, why would they have tapered?" said Rex Macey, chief investment officer of Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, based in Wilmington, Delaware.
U.S. employers are expected to have added 197,000 jobs in December, down slightly from the 203,000 jobs added in November, according to economists polled by Reuters. The U.S. unemployment rate is expected to remain at a five-year low of 7.0 percent.
The Fed's decision to trim its stimulus in December came as a surprise to many investors, who had expected the Fed to delay such a decision until early in 2014.
Signs of weakness in economic data could suggest that the Fed acted too soon and give investors reasons to sell, especially as last year's huge rally left investors braced for a period of consolidation.
Stocks ended last week with modest losses, with the Dow off less than 0.1 percent and the Standard & Poor's 500 index <.SPX> down 0.6 percent. The Nasdaq also fell 0.6 percent for the week.
Besides the payrolls data on Friday, this week brings the Institute for Supply Management's December report on the U.S. services sector on Monday as well as November factory orders and a revised report on November durable goods orders.
The week's economic calendar includes the international trade deficit data for November on Tuesday and payrolls processor ADP's report on U.S. private-sector employment in December on Wednesday. The ADP report is expected to show that private-sector employers added 200,000 jobs in December, down slightly from 215,000 in November, according to a Reuters poll.
"I think the equity markets borrowed a bit out of 2014 in terms of sniffing out better growth, and now if there is some concern that it may not be fulfilled, then that might be an impetus for investors to cool their enthusiasm," said Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist of Janney Montgomery Scott in Philadelphia, which manages about $60 billion in assets.
To be sure, Ben Bernanke, in his last speech as Fed chairman on Friday, said the central bank is no less committed to highly accommodative policy now that it has trimmed its stimulus. In order to help the economy recover from its 2007-2009 recession, the Fed has held interest rates near zero since late 2008.
Bernanke is set to be succeeded by Fed Vice Chair Janet Yellen when he steps down at the end of this month. The U.S. Senate is scheduled to vote late Monday afternoon on Yellen's nomination as the Fed's next chair. She is expected to get approval, and as a result, she would become the first woman to chair the U.S. central bank.
ALCOA RESULTS DUE
Investors also will be keeping an eye on the first results from the upcoming earnings season for signs of how well they are holding up, compared with expectations. Results from Alcoa Inc (>> Alcoa Inc) and Monsanto Co (>> Monsanto Company) are both due this week.
The pace of companies reporting earnings isn't expected to pick up until the following week, when a number of banks are due to report, including JPMorgan Chase & Co (>> JPMorgan Chase & Co.).
Fourth-quarter results are expected to have increased 7.6 percent from a year ago, according to Thomson Reuters data. That compares with earnings growth of 6 percent in the third quarter. Those results are likely to help determine whether earnings forecasts for 2014 need to come down and whether stock values have become overstretched.
"If you have earnings growth and the economy is better, then stocks can go up," said John Fox, director of research at Fenimore Asset Management in Cobleskill, New York.
Some focus may turn to retailers as companies report holiday same-store sales in the coming days, ahead of the consumer and retail ICR XChange conference January 13-15.
Goldman Sachs analysts recommended buying options on the stocks of some companies, including Wendy's (>> The Wendy's Co) and GameStop (>> GameStop Corp.), heading into the events.

Server Side Includes in Shared Hosting
All of the shared hosting we offer support Server Side Includes, so you're able to add dynamic components to your static site that you host on our cloud system. By setting up a clear .htaccess file and entering several lines of code in it, you'll be able to enable SSI for a domain name or maybe a subdomain. The file concerned must be in the exact folder where you are going to use SSI and you can also discover the code within our Frequently Asked Questions section, which means you do not need any kind of coding expertise. The 24/7 technical support crew will also be in a position to assist you with enabling Server Side Includes if you aren't confident how to proceed. You should also remember to change the extension of all files which will make use of SSI from .html to .shtml and ensure that the links on your site point to the correct files. | <urn:uuid:8f5c7b50-05bf-4b36-941a-a506e6e86e98> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://bizafrica-hosting.com/definitions/server-side-includes/ | 2022-09-25T02:55:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030334332.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20220925004536-20220925034536-00279.warc.gz | en | 0.949282 | 189 | [

Panama Prepares The Final Transfer Of Cubans To Mexico / 14ymedio, Mario
14ymedio, Mario Penton, Miami, 29 April 2016 — The Panamanian Foreign
Ministry has begun to take a census of more than 670 Cuban migrants in
the hostel of Los Planes in the province of Chiriqui, in anticipation of
their transfer to Mexico in the coming days. Another three thousand
Cubans, most stranded on the border with Costa Rica, will also benefit
from this operation, the last of its type, according to the Panamanian
president, Juan Carlos Varela on Thursday.
"Starting from the completion of transfer operation of the Cubans
counted in the census, those who enter later will have to make a
decision about what country they want to return to; we can't become a
permanent logistical support for the trafficking of migrants," warned
the Panamanian president.
According to the regional director of migration, commissioner Alfredo
Cordoba, the transfer of more than 200 migrants in various shelters to
the Los Planes encampment began yesterday afternoon. "This mainly
involved pregnant women and families with children, who need to be
brought to a place with the attentions they deserve," he said.
The official told this newspaper that the purpose of this measure is to
"concentrate all the migrants in one area where their basic needs can be
met, taking into account their rights as people."
Cordoba said that right now there are 3,704 Cuban migrants in the
Republic of Panama, who should be gradually transferred to Gualaca,
where a joint task force–which includes the National Civil Protection
System (SINAPROC), the Panama National Migration Service, the State
Border Service (SENAFRONT), and the National Police–have mobilized to
address the humanitarian crisis.
"I believe we are in the final stretch, at least they are already making
photocopies of our passports, and that's something," said Angel Chale,
one of the stranded who came through Ecuador. Chale decided to abandon
the old Bond warehouse, in San Isidro, a mile from the Costa Rican
frontier, where she shared the floor with 400 other Cubans in the most
Both Angel and Leslie Jesus Barrera have spent a week at the Los Planes
shelter. "This place where we are now is pretty fun. Usually we play
baseball, dominoes or we dance," says Barrera. "We help when they ask us
to collaborate with some chore and for the rest, it's like camping." He
added that he is very grateful for the treatment he has received from
the Panama government, which right now includes free medical care.
The godmother of Cubans
Angela Buendia is the director of community organizing for SINAPROC, but
migrants have dubbed her "the godmother." As she herself says, "They
call me that because I identify with their needs and all the pain they
have gone through."
Buendia says she learned to deal with migrants from the island in the
last crisis and since then sympathizes with the plight of "these
thousands of people who have to leave their land and often go through
very intense trauma." She stresses that, even after spending weeks in
Panama, many still live in fear.
According to her, the migratory flow does not seem to stop, although
official statistics indicate a decline. "Every day we receive between 20
and 60 Cuban migrants in Chiriqui. This is why we decided to prepare
Buendia explained that Los Planes was originally built to shelter Swiss
workers who worked on a local dam. "It's a ten acre site with a fresh
landscape and all amenities," she added. She also stressed that "the
only prohibition is not to leave at night, and this is for their own
security." She said they will have free WiFi, but right now they can use
data connections on a local network.
"The biggest problem I've had with the Cuban people is that when they
come here, having come from a place without freedom, they feel
completely free and clear, sometimes confusing liberty with license,"
Not everyone wants to be in the shelter
But not everyone wants to go to the shelter in Los Planes. "The problem
that I see to this place is that it is very far away. From the Milennium
one can at least work 'under the table' and earn a few bucks," said
Dariel, who prefers to omit his last name for fear of discovery. His
work as a carpenter, a trade he learned in Cuba, allows him to cover his
expenses and at the same time, he confesses, save something "for the end
of the journey."
"Here there were even Cubans who were whoring and charge less than the
Panamanians. Those were the smart ones, because in the end, they managed
to get together the money and now they're in the [United States]," says
In overcrowded rooms, hallways, or simply in tents put up at dusk in the
doorways of neighboring houses, hundreds of Cubans have preferred to
stay near the Costa Rican border.
"It's a problem that affects communities that often find themselves
overwhelmed by the number of migrants arriving," says Commissioner Cordoba.
Many of the local inhabitants, from Puerto Obaldia to Paso Canoas, have
seen a business opportunity in the Cubans. With the flow of migrants,
businesses have flourished from hostels to simple restaurants where the
prices are usually double for inhabitants of the island.
"I don't want to go to the Gualaca shelter because it's very far away, I
prefer to stay here because I'm in a village and at least I can fend for
myself," says Yanieris, a 35-year-old Cuban woman who arrived in Panama
from Guyana. "It's hard, sure, but if I want to go with a coyote
tomorrow, there will be no one to stop me."
The coyotes prowl…
Juan Ramon is one of those Cubans stranded in Panama who decided not to
wait any longer to reach the United States. After collecting $1,400 from
family and friends in Miami, he left one night sneaking across the Costa
Rican border, along with six other companions under the guidance of a
coyote. "In each country a coyote handed us off to another, and we have
gone all the way: through the jungles, rivers, lakes… it is very hard,"
The worst thing for the young man was the moment they ran into a
military checkpoint in Nicaragua, where "a thug assaulted us, sent by
the same guide, who robbed us of everything we had. He even took our
cellphone. It was a terrible experience because it could have cost our
lives and nobody would have known about it," he told this newspaper.
After more than 12 days on the road, Juan Ramon found himself at the
border crossing station of El Paso, Texas, hoping they would process his
documents to enter the United States under the "parole" program.
To try to circumvent the army and police control on the borders of Costa
Rica and Nicaragua the migrants use unique measures such as hiding
themselves in a water pipe or hiding in a boat to pass through the
dangerous coastal regions of the Pacific Ocean.
In November of last year, Daniel Ortega's Sandinista government closed
the borders of his country to Cuban migrants using Central America as a
path to the United States.
The measure worked like a plug, leaving 8,000 people stranded in Costa
Rica, which in turn also closed its border transferring the problem to
Panama. Following an agreement with Mexico, both countries managed to
build a humanitarian bridge that allowed the orderly exit of a great
part of the migrants.
The coyotes, or human traffickers, have turned the migration to the
north into a huge business that generates millions of dollars. From
October of 2014, almost 132,000 Central Americans and around 75,000
Cubans reached the southern border of the United States.
The Cuban government has reiterated that all the migrants have left Cuba
legally and so can return to the country.

Cargo shipments and bunkering operations have been gradually returning to normal in the UAE’s port of Fujairah, the Middle East’s main oil storage and bunkering centre, following disruptions caused by heavy rainfall and floods at the end of July.
11 August 2022
Major cargo and bunker suppliers, including Gulf Petrol Supplies and Uniper, which had declared force majeure, have resumed barge loading and bunker delivery operations.
“We have nearly eliminated the consequences of the flooding, and things are getting better”, a supplier said.
The disruption has created a backlog of bunker delivery commitments which has been slowly clearing up.
The resumption of bunker supply operations has weighed on very low-sulphur fuel (VLSFO) prices and premiums. Although prompt delivery values are still at premiums of $60-80/t to forward dates, the price spread between Fujairah VLSFO and rival Singapore bunker prices narrowed significantly over this week.
Fujairah’s delivered VLSFO premium to the equivalent Singapore price narrowed to $91.83/t on 10 August from a record high of $179.25/t on 4 August, while its premium to the Singapore 0.5pc marine fuel cargo assessment, used as a price basis by Fujairah bunker traders, fell from a record high of $228.25/t to $137/t over the same period.

11 Common Mistakes Couples Make When Combining their Finances
Most couples come to me because they have a lot going on. They’re getting married, having children, combining finances and/or paying student loans. Often these pairs have been together for a while, yet they still don’t have an idea how to plan for these events together.
Or maybe they do have an idea, but they’ve reached an impasse. Sometimes one spouse is more motivated than the other (or more scared than the other). Couples may fight because of previous baggage with money discussions (that was the issue for me and Ben and why we saw a financial advisor).
I'm Pregnant. What Do I Need to Do?
If you find yourself pregnant, congratulations! Now let’s talk finances. (See that suave transition, there?) Following are The Basics of what you need to think about if you’re about to have a kid.
This is simply an overview, to get you thinking about the things that you should do before baby comes. Because Lord knows you won’t have the time or wits to do it once baby’s here. (It’s just possible there’s a bit of transference going on here.)
Five Financial Tasks to Complete Before You Have a Child
My friends like to joke that I hate kids.
They tease me because whenever anyone asks if Ben and I are going to have children, the answer is a resounding “no.” Candidly, that kind of responsibility terrifies me.
But despite not wanting kids of my own, I love being the doting “uncle” to some of the greatest kids in the world. We had our first overnight babysitting gig this past weekend with three of our most cherished kids. (I was anxious for several weeks in advance but luckily it was completely fun.) We also get to meet my brother’s first child next week. Ben and I will be her guardian if anything happens to him and his wife.
The Good Tax News About Fertility Treatments
For whatever reason; pace of life, having kids later in life etc, few couples I know seem to be able to get pregnant without some amount of help. This seems to just be a fact of modern life.
As you can imagine, the cost of help with conception can vary greatly depending on what is required. Procedures start at a couple of thousand dollars and run up to the ultimate option which is In Vitro Fertilization or IVF. Based on a 2014 study, the median out-of-pocket expenses for a couple undergoing IVF was more than $19,000. IVF may take several cycles with the probability of success increasing with each round to around 90% by the third. Each cycle typically costs somewhere around $12,000. Many providers sell packages that allow multiple attempts for one up front price. In 2016 a three cycle package can be found for around $25,000.
The good news is with that level of medical expenses, you are likely to get some help from Uncle Sam via deductions on your income tax return. That’s right! Fertility treatments including IVF are a legitimate medical expense and can reduce your income tax bill. | <urn:uuid:02c21a6b-b922-4f3d-9e95-1ada08fa5706> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://blog.xyplanningnetwork.com/consumer-blog/good-financial-reads-starting-a-family | 2022-09-27T17:54:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335054.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220927162620-20220927192620-00279.warc.gz | en | 0.968642 | 785 | [

With a multibillion-dollar market cap, why do people pay hundreds of thousands of dollars, and in some cases, millions for digitally stored avatars, pictures, art, GIFs, tokens (and the list goes on)? Kevin Roose covers NFTs, crypto, AI and social media as a columnist for The New York Times. In 2021, a PNG of his NYT column sold for over $500,000. He joins to discuss the value proposition of blockchain-based assets, the role of scarcity and speculation in determining value and the future of cryptographic assets in a metaverse focused future.
Note: This is a rough transcript — please excuse any typos.
Kevin Roose: It's the quality that gives most offline objects their value. The reason that real estate is valuable is because there isn't all that much of it relative to the demand. The reason that Picasso paintings are valuable is because you can't copy them infinitely. And we know who owns them, and there's a record of their ownership. So NFTs in some sense are just taking this concept of scarcity that we see everyday in the offline world and making it possible to do online..
Chris Hayes: Hello, and welcome to Why Is This Happening with me, your host, Chris Hayes. Today's intro is gonna be short and to the point. I don't understand what nonfungible tokens or NFTs are, except at the highest level of conceptualization. If you have been following me on this podcast, and if not, welcome to Why Is This Happening Where I, Chris Hayes, interview people to learn things basically, to figure things out.
That's basically the intellectual project of the show. We did a show with Joe Weisenthal of Bloomberg on cryptocurrency, which was really helpful in clarifying for me. But at one point, I was, like, "Well, could we do NFTs too?" He's, like, "I'm not really ready to d-- (LAUGH) do an NFT thing."
And I was, like, "All right, well, I'm gonna bookmark that." Because I feel like once, (LAUGH) as happens to people, you know, when you age and technology happens rapidly, like, the second that you're, like, "All right, I got my head around this thing," then there's a new thing that you don't have your arms around.
And again, it's not, like, high-level math that, like, I struggle to work through. It's not linear algebra, you know, that I was trying to do in college. (LAUGH) It just takes someone with the patience to walk you through it. And part of the thing that's weird about the crypto discourse is it's a combination of bizarrely polarized.
There's the, like, psychotically pro-crypto camp and then the, like, "Crypto is garbage camp." So it's very hard to get a perspective in between those two, and then it's also, like, you kinda feel like everyone's talkin' their book, which is finance speak for when people are talking up the stocks they own.
It's, like, "I have all my money in NFTs and think they are the future, and you should buy lots of NFTs, maybe some for me." It's, like, "Well, I'm not sure if I (LAUGH) really want to, I'm really gonna believe that." So I found the perfect person to do today's, like, what's the deal?
That's really what this podcast is. It's just my way of doing what's the deal with what's the deal with NFTs? Kevin Roose, whose work I've read and admired for a very long time, in fact, I think I reviewed his second book in the New York Times book review, if I'm not mistaken.
He's a New York Times tech columnist. He writes about NFTs, crypto, AI, social media. He's got a great book called Futureproof, which is all about the age of automation, which I've actually just been going back through for something that I'm working on now. He's just a smart guy and a mensch and just a decent and enlightened individual in a world (LAUGH) in which those people can sometimes be hard to come by. Kevin Roose, welcome to the program.
Kevin Roose: What an intro. Thank you for havin' me.
Chris Hayes: I mean, I hope, like, I don't know you that well. I hope, like, after the week after this publishes something horrible about you doesn't come out (LAUGH) after it's out.
Kevin Roose: I have--
Chris Hayes: Always dangerous to vouch for people.
Kevin Roose: --dark skeletons in my closet.
Chris Hayes: So okay, so let's do the 101. Nonfungible token is what an NFT stands for. Walk me through what that means.
Kevin Roose: Sure. So let's start with just the words themselves. Something that is sort of not new to crypto but has been around since the invention of money is this concept of fungibility. Fungible assets are assets that can be exchanged for any other type of that asset. So dollars are fungible because I can trade you a dollar, and you can give me a dollar, and we both have a dollar with the same spending power. It doesn't matter which serial number is on the dollar.
Chris Hayes: Right. The particular dollar doesn't matter. A dollar is a dollar is a dollar. And sometimes you'll hear about the "fungibility of money," which is a phrase you'll hear about. You sometimes hear it in the context of, like, budget decisions, you know, where it'll be, like, "Is the government paying for abortion?"
And it's, like, "Well, they gave the state $20 million, but you can't pay for abortion." But then the state paid $20 million for abortion. Like, does that mean that it paid for abortion or paid for birth control in the case of a Supreme Court case, right? Because the dollars are fungible, right. You give $20 million, so the degree to which you can sort of earmark or hive off different sources of funds is a question you might have heard and a context you might have heard of fungibility in the past.
Kevin Roose: You're totally correct. And bitcoin, the first cryptocurrency is a fungible cryptocurrency. There's no difference between one bitcoin and another bitcoin. You know, people will gladly trade you their bitcoin for your bitcoin. It doesn't really matter which one you have.
And then in 2015 or so, this cryptocurrency called Ethereum came along. And Ethereum was different from bitcoin, in that it allowed people to create what are called smart contracts. So instead of just using it to, you know, trade money, although it does have its own cryptocurrency, Ether, the Ethereum blockchain lets you essentially program little bits of code onto this blockchain, this distributed network of computers that keeps track of all the transactions.
And so what that allowed for is the creation of these so-called nonfungible tokens, these little snippets of code, these contracts that lived on the Ethereum blockchain and that could essentially be used to denote ownership, to say "Chris owns this token, and it can't be exchanged for any other token."
And you can see it on the blockchain ledger, and it's permanent, and it can't be revoked or counterfeited. And so that sounds like a fairly straightforward and simple, incremental technological change. But what it allowed for was this kind of scarcity that previous to this, you couldn't really have on the internet.
Like, the internet is a giant copying machine, and what we've seen since the dawn of the internet is that once something is on the internet, you can copy it an infinite number of times with no discernible difference or loss in quality.
An MP3, you can copy it a thousand times. Each copy is, sounds exactly the same as the original. And you can't tell the difference. You can't tell which one was the first one. But this nonfungible token, this Ethereum smart contract, it allowed for the kinds of scarcity that we see in the offline world.
You could have one of a thing. You could have a special, you know, certificate almost that would say that you own some asset out there in the digital world, and that no one else could claim to own that credibly. And that you could buy and sell it as if it were, you know, an offline good. So that is sort of the theoretical basis for NFTs. Now what they have become is, like, a giant industry, and we can talk about that.
Chris Hayes: Right. So let's just stop there and keep going with the conceptual part, 'cause I think if we go back to the blockchain, right, and the idea of cryptocurrency, the fundamental interesting intellectual question here is how you build an architecture that's public and distributed that can trace who has a dollar if I pay you a dollar, right?
And there's a relationship between that and NFTs, because the idea you need is, "I'm gonna transfer the ownership of my dollar, my bitcoin to you, Kevin Roose." And there's gonna be a ledger that's distributed on the internet, doesn't involve the government, that traces the bitcoin I used to have, you now have.
In the same way, if I took out a $100 bill and passed it to you, it would physically move from my wallet to yours. And when we talked to Joe Weisenthal, like, the sort of brilliant hack the inventor of the blockchain comes up with is essentially a kind of very clever way to distribute this process that produces a public record that can't be sort of messed with that will trace that 100 dollars or that one bitcoin moving from me to you and evades the copying problem, right?
Which is, it evades the copying problem of, like, "Oh yeah, I paid him $100, but, like, I really kept the $100." You can't do that with a physical $100 bill, but because the internet is a copying machine, well, how do you get around that? So at the root between "I've transferred that $100 to you," now let's talk about a Picasso painting. (LAUGH)
The same idea. I have a Picasso painting. It's the only one of its kind, you know, verified. It's not a copy, and you're gonna buy it from me. So you transfer the money, and then I transfer the painting to you. Now again, you don't have the copying problem there. I mean, actually you do in the art world, (LAUGH) so we can get to that in a second.
Kevin Roose: Right, there's forgeries.
Chris Hayes: Right, well, that's actually what's very interesting. But given that I'm gonna hire an insured art shipper and I'm gonna pack it up in a crate and it's gonna go, then it's physically gonna be in your museum or it's physically gonna be in your collection, right?
So NFTs are replicating in the digital world that exact kind of thing, the scarcity and the transfer and the tracking of ownership for only one person or a set of limited prints by Chuck Close, right. There might be ten, or there might be 100 lithographs, right? It's creating the digital equivalent of that in the internet space of something that we have had in the offline world forever basically.
Kevin Roose: Right, and it's the quality that gives most offline objects their value. I mean, the reason that real estate is valuable is because there isn't all that much of it, you know, relative to the demand. The reason that Picasso paintings are valuable is because you can't copy them infinitely. And we know who owns them, and there's a record of their ownership. So NFTs in some sense are just taking this concept of scarcity that we see everyday in the offline world and making it possible to do online.
Chris Hayes: I definitely am a person who has the kind of, like, "This is ridiculous, what are these people doing feeling" when I read NFT stories. But, like, that's just true of a lot of things people spend a lot of money and swap back and forth, right?
So, you know, when I was growing up, baseball cards were a big thing. There was this Pittsburgh Pirates player named Honus Wagner. I think he was a second baseman in, like, 1916 or something. And for some reason, I don't know why, I think it was relative to the scarcity that, like, the Honus Wagner baseball card was the most expensive baseball card.
And at the time I thought, like, "Oh, that's kind of funny and eccentric," but I knew this fact. I also knew other cards that were really expensive, and it was just a market for rare goods. I mean, there's antique books, there's art, there's a million different things that are traded on these markets.
In some ways, all of their prices are irrational. (LAUGH) Like, I mean, you can say, like, "Guernica's a frickin' dope painting, so it should be worth a lotta money." But I mean, like, you know, I don't know, taste is in the eye of the beholder. Like, (LAUGH) really who's to say? I think that, like, it's important to ground the discussion in that base level of what real-world versions of these markets look like before going to NFTs. Because I think without that reminder, they truly do look ludicrous.
Kevin Roose: Totally. I mean, the people that I've found that actually understand NFTs the best, who sort of have the mental architecture to process what's going on are artists. You know, talk to artists, and, like, they're used to rich people showing up to art fairs and galleries and just paying absurd sums of money for things of, like, dubious, real-world value.
Chris Hayes: Like, used tissues or Marcel Duchamp's urinal, yeah.
Kevin Roose: Totally. I like that thing, so here's millions of dollars and I want to put it in my house. So, like, to them it's sort of intuitive that, yeah, you have this thing that allows internet objects to be scarce like physical world objects, so naturally rich people are gonna use them to not only, like, display their personal tastes but to speculate and to, you know, show off.
I love talking about this, because I find it so fascinating. I think we forget how much of the economy just, like, runs on, like, very wealthy people signaling their status through the consumption of scarce goods. Like, the third richest man in the world is Bernard Arnault, the chairman of LVMH, which is the Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy company, like, a company that sells status objects for rich people.
It is a huge industry, and so I don't think it should surprise us that NFTs have become as popular as they are. The thing that people like about NFTs is that it's very easy to determine authenticity. You just look it up on the blockchain. There's a record and a durable record of whether something is authentic and whether the person using the cartoon avatar on their Twitter profile actually owns that or not.
Chris Hayes: So, okay, so that's the grounding. And again, like, my priors going into this discussion is neither more nor less ridiculous than many other ridiculous things that people with lots of money spend money on. Okay, but you just mentioned the avatars. What's the deal with these, (LAUGH) like, I'm sorry, excuse me for a moment, dumb-ass-looking cartoons? (LAUGH) Again, no accounting for taste.
There are some people who think Guernica's dumb-looking, and there are some people who love All In with Chris Hayes at 8 p.m. There are some people who really don't like it. That's just, there's no accounting for taste. Some people don't like me. (LAUGH) Some people just, they hate the sound of my voice, they hate the way I look. Hey, you know, we all like different things, so I don't want to yuck anyone's yum.
From my perspective, I don't get it really, but, like, I also don't get why there's such this, like, what is the deal with this very specific aesthetic that has grown up around these, like, ape-looking cartoons that every tech bro now has. And they're buying and trade, like, what is that?
Kevin Roose: You know, I wish I knew, but you're right. I mean, there is a developing aesthetic around NFTs. Like, a lotta the most popular projects are, like, these, you know, pixelated CryptoPunks or these, you know, ape cartoons. They're called PFP projects often, 'cause they're literally profile pictures.
Like, they're designed to be shown off in that specific way. And I really didn't get the whole, like, sometimes they're called community NFTs, 'cause what happens is they'll sorta make thousands of them at once. And then that's sorta, like, the limited edition.
Like, there are only 10,000 of these, and so you gotta go collect 'em. And so earlier this year, I was, like, very confused by this. And so I just decided, you know what? I'm gonna join one of these. I'm gonna, like, pick up one of these ridiculous cartoons, join the community, and see what it's all about. And so I got this thing called a Pudgy Penguin, which is not the Louis Vuitton of PFP NFTs. It's more like the Coach. You know, it's up there.
Chris Hayes: It's nice.
Kevin Roose: It's nice, but it's, like, no one's gonna be impressed by it.
Chris Hayes: Now does the New York Times pay for that, (LAUGH) or do you pay for that?
Kevin Roose: No, I actually borrowed that from someone who's involved in the project. Like, he sent it to me, and I had it in my crypto wallet. And then before I published the story I sent it back. So I didn't make any money. It was a total. (LAUGH)
Chris Hayes: Just doing a little ethical audit here.
Kevin Roose: Exactly. No it's important, because a lotta the people writing and opining about crypto, as you mentioned, like, do have skin in the game. So we have to be careful about that. So I get this Pudgy Penguin, this, like, ridiculous cartoon penguin. And I'm, like, "Okay, so now what?" And then I enter this Discord, this chat room where all of the other Pudgy Penguin owners are hanging out and talking. And it's, like, a community. And I changed my profile picture--
Chris Hayes: Sure. Wait a second. Do you all have the same Pudgy Penguin? Meaning, like, all people have different copies of, like, a limited edition? Or do you have different Pudgy Penguins?
Kevin Roose: We have different Pudgy Penguins. So, like, (LAUGH) my--
Chris Hayes: I'm absolutely gonna lose it the more times we say this phrase. (LAUGH)
Kevin Roose: So, like, some of them have hats, and some of them have sunglasses, and some of them, you know, have rare ones that are more valuable within the, you know, sort of spectrum of Pudgy Penguins. And there are more common ones. Like, baseball cards, or Magic: The Gathering cards or Pokémon cards or whatever.
So I, you know, make it my profile picture, and then I just get flooded with, like, jubilant penguin avatars who are, like, "Welcome," and "We're glad to have you." And "Let's talk, and let's hang out." And it's, like, this whole social scene.
And so I think that really, like, sort of made sense to me, as someone who, for example, like, has played online games for a very long time. Like, the idea that you would pay money to, like, get into a community of likeminded people and have something to talk about with them and sort of a fun exercise to do on the internet.
Like, that doesn't seem all that strange to me, and so I think that's a piece of it too that we're seeing with these profile picture NFTs is, like, people just want to be part of something. And they're willing to pay a lotta money to do it.
Chris Hayes: Yeah. And I was about to say a thing that I stopped myself from saying, because it's self-refuting, which is, like, wealthy people buying art I sort of get. Because you can put it up in your home, you know, or other places. Then people come in, like, "Oh wow, that's beautiful."
And I was about to say, "But I don't get this." But the answer is, like, well, they put it on their profile picture, which, like, way more people see than any amount of foot traffic in even the most visited home. So in that respect I guess I get it too, right. That's not that different.
Kevin Roose: Yeah, I mean, and that's the kind of bull case for not only NFTs but for this whole, like, sort of digital metaverse economy. It's, like, as we spend more of our lives on the internet, like, the objects in our physical homes become less valuable. The objects and avatars and hairstyles and things in our virtual environments become more valuable.
Chris Hayes: So I do think here is where there's just a profound economic question about what value is and what price is, right? And, like, there's different traditions of this. There's sort of the kind of neoclassical tradition where it's, like, "Well, value is just determined by where the lines for demand and supply intersect."
And there's other theories of value, classical economics and then Marxist labor theory of value that essentially, like, institutional ownership relationships that produce the value and what profit is. And there's a sort of profound question here about what we're dealing with, right?
So it's, like, so let's talk about real estate, right. So, like, real estate in the real world has this feature that is like the Dutch tulip boom or, you know, these NFTs, right. Like, certain real estate markets get super hot. People can flip houses, and they can buy the house with the knowledge they could sell it to someone else, which is part of its value.
But also at the same time, like, the home I'm in right now really does keep the rain off of me. (LAUGH) It does provide a warm space for my family to live in, and there is an actual use of it. It's not all baseball cards, right? It's one thing where I get in the world where, okay, where art or these, like, essentially versions of Pokémon trading cards.
But this vision now of the metaverse, where, like, someone's paying however much money for, like, a plot of virtual real estate, that is a hard bridge for me to cross conceptually. This idea of this stuff that's purely virtual, that offers no tangible thing.
Like, you pay money for a car, you pay money for a house, you pay money for your kids' education. You pay money for whatever different things that people spend a lot of money on. You're gettin' somethin' out of it, you know. The sheer amount that you use for collecting or speculating tends to be pretty small, but now there's this vision of a full economy around that that I find a little harder to understand.
I will say, like, if you talk to people in the NFT world about this, they'll point to, you know, the fact that some of these NFTs have actual utility to them. Like, if you buy a musician's NFT, you get backstage passes to their concerts. Or you buy some museum's NFT and you get admission to the museum.
So there are tangible benefits to some of these projects, not all by any means. But those do exist. So there are tangible benefits. But I think that the bigger issue that you're pointing to here is real, which is that I actually don't think that the metaverse and NFTs are, like, going to substitute for all areas of offline consumption, all asset classes.
I think it's best to kind of view it as, like, the financialization of culture. Like, we can take these things that have qualities that get people's attention or entertain them or make them feel something, and we can turn those into financial instruments that can be bought and sold on a 24/7 market.
There's a saying in crypto that, "It's only a bubble if it bursts." You know, there is this feeling that this can keep going on for a very long time. But I think most people in crypto would acknowledge that the NFT thing has gotten totally insane.
And that there is no way that all of these NFTs that people are paying hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars for are going to be worth nearly that much in the future. So there's definitely speculation going on. There are definitely scams. I get pitched these insane, even by NFT standards, projects every day. My email inbox is just flooded with, like, garbage, nonsense NFT pitches.
Chris Hayes: You did a great thing, a very valuable service for the paleolithic New York Times readers like myself.
Kevin Roose: The olds. (LAUGH)
Chris Hayes: Who I can no longer make fun of as them, 'cause it's now an us. I want you to talk about the NFT that you created, speaking of speculative mania, right after we take this quick break.
Chris Hayes: You wrote a great column about NFTs where you also made an NFT, so walk me through that. Because I found that quite useful just as a pedagogical tool.
Kevin Roose: Yeah, well, it started off as kind of a joke. I was talking to my editor, and I was saying, "You know, I should really write about these NFT things. They seem to be taking off. You know, celebrities are making them. They're selling for millions of dollars."
And so what if I wrote a story about NFTs and explained the whole phenomenon and then turned the story into an NFT and, like, sold it for charity, for the Neediest Cases Fund? Which is the New York Times sort of internal charity. And to my great surprise, my bosses said, "Sure, go for it."
And I think part of their willingness to let me do this crazy experiment was that no one thought it was gonna sell for anything. Like, there was this Slack that I had where, like, my colleagues are just betting on, like, how little money this sale is gonna bring in.
Because, like, who wants an NFT of a New York Times column that you could read for free on NYTimes.com? So I write this column. I go through this process called minting, which you have to go through a platform. So there are lots of NFT minting platforms.
The biggest one is called OpenSea. I used one called Foundation. And you essentially take your artwork or your picture of a newspaper column or whatever you're minting, and you upload it through their site. And then you pay what's called a gas fee, which is Ethereum's basically, like, sort of congestion tax.
And then you create this piece of code on Ethereum blockchain that corresponds to your uploaded asset. And then you create a smart contract on that blockchain that governs the auction itself, that says, you know, these are the terms. This is how long it runs for.
When it's over, the top bidder, the money goes to this wallet, and the asset goes to that wallet. And it sort of automates the auction process. So in my case, I set up a 24-hour auction. I set the reserve price, the kind of minimum acceptable price at half an Ether, which at the time I think was, like, $800 or something like that.
And I was, like, very skeptical that it was gonna bring in even that much. And so I watched and sort of crossed my fingers and saw to my great surprise that people started bidding on it almost right away. I mean, the first bids were $1,000, $2,000, $5,000.
And I was thinkin', like, "This is cool. Like, we're gonna make some cash for charity. This'll be a fun column. I'll have something to write about next week." And then I went to bed and woke up the next morning, and a bidding war had broken out. In the closing hours of the auction, the price went from, like, $30,000 to $50,000 to $100,000. And then ultimately when the sort of virtual gavel fell (LAUGH) the top bid was 350 ETH, which at the time was, like, more than $500,000--
Chris Hayes: Geez Louise.
Kevin Roose: --and I think today is, like, $1.5 million.
Chris Hayes: Okay, but, like, why? Like, why? The actual asset was a JPEG, right or an image file?
Kevin Roose: Technically, it was a PNG, but yes, same diff.
Chris Hayes: It was just a file of the column. And at some level it's, like, okay, I can see the logic of the first NFT made by the New York Times might be a really cool, important and valuable historical artifact basically someday. Right? I mean, I guess that's the logic--
Kevin Roose: Yeah, I mean, I tried to convince my editor that everything I write should be valued at $1.5 million, but it didn't work out. But I did do a followup column where I basically called up all the people who had bid on this auction, and I asked them exactly that question, like, "Why?" (LAUGH)
"Why are you spending, you know, hard-earned money, like, hundreds of thousands of dollars on this, like, thing that you could read for free?" And it was sort of interesting. Like, there was a group of people, mostly kind of the lower end bidders who said, like, "Look, this is just, like, a marketing expense for me basically. Like, I've got a crypto startup or I'm, you know, an NFT artist. And if I get my name in the New York Times, you know, through bidding on this auction or winning this auction, like, that's basically advertising for me."
So that sorta made sense on, like, a purely economic transaction level, until a certain point at which, like, it would just be cheaper to take out an ad in the New York Times to promote whatever you wanted to promote. So the higher dollar bidders sort of had different reasons.
Some of them said, you know, basically "This is speculative. I think this is gonna be worth a lot of money someday if, you know, NFTs take off. And maybe I'll be able to resell it for much more than I paid for it." And then there were kind of more heady explanations, like, "I wanted to signal my belief in this space and basically, like, vote of confidence for NFTs as a thing, as an asset class, and get people interested in it." And the bid itself kinda becomes, like, marketing for the enterprise.
And then, you know, the guy that actually won the auction, this, you know, sort of pseudonymous person in Dubai, who only goes by the name 3FMusic sent me this little statement over DM that was, like, you know, "We just believe in the NFT space, and it's gonna revolutionize art. And, you know, we want to support creators." That was all I could find out.
Chris Hayes: I mean, that in some way is even truer of the NFT space than the crypto coin space, which is just the evangelical zeal. The almost religious or, like, deep cause movement, cause-related language around it as a project that binds together identity with ideological affinity with faith about what the future will be that feels different than other spaces.
And can make it I think feel a little like, how about every calm down? Are you trying to screw me here? And I think as a New Yorker, like, I had to teach myself not to feel that way with, like, actual evangelizing religious people. (LAUGH) Like, my instinct when they, like, you know, want to talk to me about God or Jesus is to be, like, "Whoa, is this a scam?"
And it's, like, no, this is just, like, how they evangelize. And I can't tell which it is. And I know this is something actually that you've written about in a sort of past life actually interestingly enough. But how should I think about the character of the culture around NFT and its zealousness and its sort of evangelical quality?
Kevin Roose: Yeah, it's a really good question. And I thought about that a lot. A couple weeks ago, I went to this, like, big NFT conference in New York that was, like, the biggest conference to date. Thousands of NFT, you know, collectors and artists and fans.
And you sort of, like, look around something like that, and you see the kind of, like, subtribes of this movement. There's, like, the people who are just in it to make a profit, like, the pure speculators, and there are lots of those. And they sort of stand around the perimeter of the room.
And they're wearing, like, Patagonia vests, and they're, like, sort of jotting notes to themselves. And then there are the crypto wealthy, the people you mentioned who just, like, have tons of money and want to spend it on something that feels cool to them.
I do think there is a core of sort of true believers, like, people who believe that NFTs are solving something fundamentally wrong with the economy, especially for artists and musicians and creative people. Which is, like, it kinda sucks to be a musician on the internet today.
You have to be on Spotify, because that's where everyone is, and you get millions of streams, and then you get a check for $17. You know, your record label rips you off, and you get into contract disputes. And it's, like, not a great status quo for a lot of creative people. And so I do think you have people, and I've talked a lot of artists and musicians who, like, genuinely do think that this is going to be sort of the salvation of creative pursuits in the digital economy.
Chris Hayes: Right. So in the same way, like, Joe when we were talking about crypto was, like, "What's a use case?" Right, and the use case is, like, if you want to, you know, move cash, you want to make a payment without the interference of government or any laws anywhere, right.
And obviously there's a lot of, like, black market use cases, so you want to run drugs or you're trafficking people or you're buying weapons. But there's also, like, you want to deposit money into a dissident group behind the curtain of an oppressive regime, right?
So that's, like, an interesting and possibly socially really important use case for crypto. In this case, like, let's talk more about this. Which to me the one sort of persuasive real use case here is returning power of ownership. Like, the intellectual property, the power of ownership, the specificity to stamp a thing as "I made this thing," go out into the market yourself without relying on someone else to sell that thing, and get the full value of it back is profound and powerful. And right now because the space is so unmediated is the promise, right, here of NFTs.
Kevin Roose: Right. I mean, we talked earlier about the financialization of culture, and there's an addendum to that, which is that culture has been financialized for a long time. It's just that the people keeping most of the profits were record labels and movie studios and Mark Zuckerberg and, you know, the people who currently serve as, like, intermediaries on this whole market and strike the deals and find the talent and, you know, sell the ads.
And they reap most of the benefits of this so-called creator economy. And so what excites people about NFTs is the possibility that instead of, you know, paying a 97% tax to Spotify every time you stream a song, or instead of creating content on YouTube, and maybe it goes viral and you get $28 in ad revenue, that you could actually keep a much bigger percentage of the pie. That the artists and musicians and actors and YouTubers and gamers and whoever else could have a much more direct relationship with the people consuming the things that they create.
Chris Hayes: I guess I'm gonna sound sort of cynical here or just jaded. But I think that Tim Wu's great book The Master Switch always guides my thinking here, which is I think sometimes people will confuse the liberatory potential of a technology for its newness.
Which is to say, like, when something's new and a market is immature, small operators have more power. And what ends up happening is that it consolidates, and then you get very mediated forms. So it's, like, YouTube felt that way in the beginning.
It felt like it was giving a lot of power to these individual YouTubers. Then that consolidated over time. As Tim Wu writes in The Master Switch, this happened with things like radio. It happened in fact in movies, which before the studio system was just, like, thousands of people with cameras across the country makin' movies and passing the reels around. Part of me feels like I'm a little skeptical that to the degree that that's happening with NFTs now that that's a feature of the technology and not just the immaturity of the market. And some big players are gonna come in and consolidate it.
Kevin Roose: Totally, and to be clear, like, I know I sound like a booster of NFTs and crypto right now. But really, like, the scenario that you've outlined could be totally correct. It could be a market that is just immature, that's going to centralize over time.
I am not, like, making the case that this is bound to happen or destined to happen. But I do think the difference that people in this community see comes down to, like, things like custody. Like, YouTube, yes, it allowed anyone to upload videos.
Chris Hayes: You didn't control it or own it.
Kevin Roose: They were on YouTube servers somewhere. YouTube was the gateway by which people could discover it, and YouTube got to sell the ads. And it was, like, there was a similar dynamic in TV and radio. Like, someone had to own the airwaves. Someone had to put the things on the air.
Like, the media required intermediaries to work. And I think in the case of NFTs, what's different is that there is this, like, decentralized ledger behind everything so that no one really can shut off the access to it. Like, you know, there are lots of technical ways that, like, NFTs can get messed up after the fact. But the basic token, this thing that lives on this Ethereum blockchain, like, that will be there as long as that blockchain exists. And there really is a way for people to kind of own the media directly.
Chris Hayes: It's a really useful distinction actually on the technical side. I mean, I think that you see in Facebook's rebranding, for instance. Like, obviously large entities are gonna try to move very quickly into these spaces and try to extract all the profit from it and also stamp out anything that allows this distributed nature.
And I think, you know, that's the promise of what people call Web 3, right, which is the blockchain architecture is kind of a return to Web 1, which is the kinda pre social media architecture of the web, which was very distributed. Usenet boards, it was protocols that were not controlled by a single company.
It busted outta the walled gardens of AOL and Prodigy and CompuServe into this set of distributed architectures that anyone could join. And then that got brought back into these sort of gated communities of the social media companies we know now and the social networks. And the promise in some ways of the blockchain as a tool, right, is to bust back out of that again.
Kevin Roose: That's what people think in this community. They think that this is, like, sort of a return to a more primitive state of the internet before we had these giant billion user platforms that took over the ad market and commandeered all of our attention everyday.
So that's what they see in it, and I think that's, you know, some amount of consolidation just seems to me inevitable. Like, there's going to be a Facebook NFT store, and those NFTs will be sold by Meta now. They will keep a fraction of those sales. I'm sure I'd have this reported. I don't know that this is happening for sure, but I can just imagine that happening.
I think what people like about this asset class now is the decentralization. I actually think that if you centralized it, they would become a lot less attractive assets to people. Because part of the appeal is, like, portability, right? There's this whole idea that in Web 3 or whatever you want to call it, the metaverse, like, you will be able to take your crypto wallet and all of the token in it, and you will be able to use them in various different ways, like, across proprietary systems.
Right now, like, if you buy a fancy sword in, you know, some video game, like, you can't take that to other video games. It won't work. And so the thing that people talk about all the time in crypto is this concept of interoperability. The fact that you could have an asset that you could take into any number of digital environments, some of which are owned by big companies, some of which are open source or whatever, and you could still use those assets.
Chris Hayes: I have an assumption and a mental image of the people in this space that is very stereotypical and I don't know if it's true or not. You know, it feels to me, like, something makes my skin crawl a little bit about this sort of language of, like, David versus Goliath when, like, the Davids are all, like, really pretty affluent and privileged people with (LAUGH) lots of money.
And I feel like that's kinda the vibe I get from the rhetoric in this space. But maybe I'm wrong. Like, who are these people, like, at the conference? Like, who are they? Who are the people who are bidding who are not the pseudonymous guy in Dubai or woman in Dubai?
Kevin Roose: It's funny. It was sort of, like, a tech world reunion. Like, I went there and I was, like, "Don't, you, like, live in San Francisco?" It was, like, all of San Francisco had, like, migrated to New York for the week. So yeah, it's a lotta the same people.
It's, you know, venture capitalists. It's sort of early adopter engineer types. But it's also artists and musicians. And it was funny, just to your point about sort of the contradictory rhetoric of some of this stuff. Like, I was in line.
There was a party, one of these crypto groups, what they call a distributed autonomous organization called Friends With Benefits. Through this party in Greenpoint in Brooklyn, the way that you got into the party was by owning the token of this group.
Like, you needed a certain number of tokens. You would scan your phone at the door. If you had enough, they would, like, let you in. And these tokens, like, are quite expensive. Like, you know, cost hundreds of dollars to get into this party.
And at one point, they, like, sort of ran out of room in the party. And so they auctioned off an NFT. And the NFT, like, the winner of the auction was gonna be able to bring in, like, five friends and skip the line. And it was, like, the VIP pass.
So here I am in line outside this club, like, waiting to get in, hearing people, like, tell me about the liberatory, democratizing potential of NFTs. Meanwhile, they're stuck because they don't have enough of the crypto token to get into the party.
And the auction for the NFT that allows you to skip the line starts. And, like, someone pays $55,000 to get into this party. And it's, like, "Weren't you just saying that this is gonna, like, open up culture and democratize everything and, like, isn't this just the velvet rope all over again?"
Chris Hayes: Perfect. Yeah, and you mentioned distributed autonomous organizations, and maybe we can sort of segue to those, just since we're doing all the alphabet soup. People may have seen this story about one of these groups bidding on an early copy of the constitution. And again, I've got, like, the four-line answer to what one of these are that would check the box of, like, I quote "understand" it, but I don't really. So explain it to me.
Kevin Roose: Sure. So a DAO, as they're called, is a sort of emerging collaborative sort of co-op run on crypto tokens. So if you can imagine, like, a group of people, they buy these crypto tokens. It makes them a member of this, think of it like an LLC.
It's leaderless by design, and the way that decisions are made within the organization is to vote, you know, most times using these tokens. So you mentioned the constitution DAO. That was something that popped up very quickly, in, like, a week raised something like $50 million and bid on a copy of the U.S. Constitution, which they did not win.
But the whole sort of premise behind the organization was that people who contributed to this would get governance rights over this copy of the constitution and would get to help decide, like, where it was displayed and which museums exhibited it and things like that.
So that's sort of an emerging form. A lot of the DAOs that exist right now are actually, like, sort of groups of investors who are basically pooling their money to bid on NFTs and other digital assets. So you can think of it like a syndicate, like, private equity firm, whatever analog comparison you want to make. They're these new types of groups that basically kind of run like co-ops on the blockchain.
Chris Hayes: Co-op on the blockchain.
Kevin Roose: They've also been described as group texts with bank accounts.
Chris Hayes: Huh. Yeah, I mean, but the question for decision making, the key one is that they vote. Or is it the way that company stock votes is that Zuckerberg's got a majority of the share, so he controls the company? That's not the case here, right? They are equitably distributed among the members?
Kevin Roose: No. People can own more or fewer tokens, and each DAO sort of gets to set up its own, like, rules. Like, is it one vote, one token? Some of them have been saying one vote for every wallet, like, so that sort of evens out the playing field a little bit so that the whales don't just get to make all the decisions.
Chris Hayes: That's just corporate structure though. I mean, it's just a corporation. It's a different way of thinking about it. You can have nonprofit corporations, you can have for-profit corporations. But when you talk about incorporating, you're basically saying, "There's a group of people who are going to collaborate under these bylaws," right? And that's what we're talking about here.
Kevin Roose: Yup. And a lot of what DAOs are doing, you could do in any other corporate form as LLC or a corporation. The difference is I think that instead of having bylaws that a lawyer writes up and people approve and shareholders sign onto, a lot of it's encoded in the actual code, in these smart contracts that govern how this organization works. And some people think that's an innovation.
Chris Hayes: I want to pretend that I understand that, but I don't. (LAUGH) So try to get me there. Like, what does that mean when you say "the bylaws are encoded in the smart contracts?"
Kevin Roose: So at a basic level, let's just make up a hypothetical DAO. You know, you and I and eight of our friends, we decide that we want to pool some crypto and go buy some NFTs. So we set up this DAO, and we build it into the smart contracts that, you know, every time a new NFT is bought, the ownership is distributed in this way.
You get this many percent according to how many tokens you own. And, you know, our friend gets twice as much because he has twice as many tokens or whatever it is. We set it up so that there's a way that proposals can be made and voted on and approved for how we're gonna spend any proceeds that we make from that. And this is all happening transparently on the blockchain. Anyone can go, you know, look up or audit our smart contract and figure out what we're doing and how much money we have and how we're dividing it.
Chris Hayes: Right. So all those bylaws function as code that automate the processes that, like, a person might, like, oversee at a meeting if we had, like, the IRL version, right?
Kevin Roose: And that's the dream. And I should say, like, that that's not always how it works in practice. Like, for example, this DAO that tried to buy the constitution. Like, they didn't--
Chris Hayes: Yes. There's a lot of, like, you know, the Oscar Wilde line about, like, "the problem with socialism is it takes up too many evenings." Like, (LAUGH) it seemed like that was taking up a lot of evenings. Like, it definitely seemed, like, I'm familiar with this dynamic of a bunch of people in a fairly flat horizontal group structure fighting over what to do.
Kevin Roose: Exactly. (LAUGH) It's one of the slowest ways you can make decisions is by consensus. And so, you know, I think that in that case, they did have to make a lot of compromises. They did have leaders. They actually, you know, were going to set up an LLC that would have legally controlled this copy of the constitution.
There was some vague notion that people would be able to vote on it. But, like, it was sort of, like, a, you know, hastily pulled together thing. So in practice, these DAOs, some of them are pretty indistinguishable from more traditional companies and corporations and LLCs.
But that's the vision is, like, you could have a totally leaderless organization of people and capital in which, like, all of the rules are set in stone on the blockchain. And everyone inside and outside the organization can see what's going on.
Chris Hayes: I guess the final question is, like, this is a real thing, right? I think about Second Life a lot, which if people don't remember is this sort of virtual world where, like, for a while it was, like, all the rage. And people were, like, having, like, lecture events in Second Life and, you know, meeting people in Second Life.
And there was a million trend stories about Second Life. You know, Second Life was gonna be the, you know, the universe we were all gonna be in. And then all those did not age particularly well. And I guess my question is, like, what's your gut about ten years from now on this?
Kevin Roose: I'll answer this by way of saying what I think about this space in general, which is that I'm not necessarily, like, pro crypto or anti-crypto or pro-NFT or anti-NFT. I am definitely pro-understanding these things.
Chris Hayes: No, that's my point. I just want to understand them. I find it weird how polarized it is. I don't care. (LAUGH) I mean, I don't have a dog in the fight. It's not like--
Kevin Roose: Spoken like a no-coiner, Chris.
Chris Hayes: Yeah, well, I guess, like, it's not like is a person gonna get healthcare or not? Are we gonna, like, continue to, like, fund the Saudis bombing the Yemenis or not? Are we gonna vaccinate people or not? Like, I have real dogs in those fights, I feel like moral claim.
Like, are a lotta people gonna buy NFTs or not I don't feel some strong stake in from a political, moral, ethical. I'm just sort of curious in the whole thing. It seems to me that there's, like, all sorts of ways that terrible mischief can be done with this.
It also seems to me, like, the politics of a lotta people in this space are, like, really bad. But that seems maybe separable from the technology. But again, I agree. Like, the whole conversation seems very polarized to an outsider in a way that I don't quite get.
Kevin Roose: Yeah. And it sort of reminds me of the early days of social media when, like, the question that everyone was asking was, like, "Will Facebook and Twitter ever make money?" Like, are these viable businesses or not? Are these fads? Will people log onto Instagram to see photos of their friend's avocado toast? Like, is this just a fundamentally stupid endeavor?
And it took a while to, like, understand that this was going to work and that actually there was a whole different set of questions that maybe we should've been asking earlier, like, how will a global speech regime governed by Mark Zuckerberg work, and what, you know, trade-offs will that entail?
And, like, how should we regulate this stuff? And, like, we treated it as a joke until it was already too big to change, in any meaningful way. And so I think the mistake that a lot of skeptics of crypto are making now is sort of falling back on this question of, like, "Will it work or not?"
I think a much more useful question would be, like, "What if it does work, what do we do then?" Maybe it won't. Maybe it all blows up, and this is a giant Ponzi scheme, and we all feel very silly for having wasted our time talking about it. But I think the chance of it working is not zero. And if it does work, it will be a massive transformation that we're going to need to deal with.
Chris Hayes: Kevin Roose is a tech columnist in the New York Times who writes about NFTs, crypto, AI, DAOs I guess too, social media. He's author of Futureproof, a book all about the age of automation, as well as some other books. Kevin, that was exactly what the doctor ordered. Thank you very much.
Kevin Roose: Thanks for havin' me. I'll see you in the metaverse.

The Institution of Construction has decided the demolition of the 28-store apartment building that was erected to the first line of the Golem beach, in Durres.
The building has many problems and it is even unsafe. The construction permit has also been violated.
For this reason, engineer Agron Hysenlliu was threatened by Enver Shala, the owner of the building. He is on the run after the police started looking for him.
The building, which also has residents, was full of problems. The metal construction at the additional stores that were built illegally put the lives of the workers at risk, and also that of the residents.
He had another building that was demolished, the Kamelia Complex in Durres, in 2013.
He has also built another 30-store building near the Durres port, eight stores of which are ilegal. The authorities have tried several times to interfere, but they have never acted. | <urn:uuid:ba3a718c-bb05-4a71-ac9f-db394b0f8c91> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://top-channel.tv/english/28-store-apartment-building-by-the-golem-beach-will-be-demolished-builder-who-threatened-engineers-wanted-by-police/ | 2022-10-01T17:41:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030336880.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20221001163826-20221001193826-00279.warc.gz | en | 0.993358 | 195 | [

You own me, because you are me.
Overexposing my innards to careless hearts and hands is a practice I am prepared to stop performing.
Men always complained I had a lot of boyfriends. I never agreed, or disagreed. I was too busy kissing to care. I disapproved of jealous complainers and had not an opinion on their opinion of me.
You know, and I know, just how much we defy.
When we are in love, we are convinced nobody else will do. But as time goes, others do do, and often do do, much much better.
I wore your promise on my finger for one yearI'll wear your name on my heart til I dieBecause you were my boy, you were my only boy forever.
...just friends, over and over you said it again -then you kissed me.
I think there were times when I was so afraid of losing you that I forgot I even had you at all.
Love is not of value when this superficial contract must be drawn up, representing the two worlds that enclose us.
You can only use someone for so long before you dry them out. How long does a muse last? When do you let them loose?
I never want to arrive. I love the ride.
Our stations in life, our difference of cultures, the pain-laid men who raised us forbid us to be us. They have brainwashed us. We feel we should believe the polarity between us.
She stopped caring...and started laughing.
What I knew, adored, and fell for was a fantasy. He did not exist in human terms.
Life is wonderful when you're the one to write it.
..plainly put, I loved the way he effortlessly forced my pen to act savagely, to swerve course without warning.
I near felt bad he choose to be so evil. I am a forgiving woman, but my pen... oh my wicked wicked hormonal she-pen.
[Happily broken] arms unlocked. Eyes wide open.Eager. Torn apart. Heart explosive.Fingers composing [Happily broken].Come in, come in. I am ready. I am open.Happy to be open [Happily broken].
She has been trying to pull her worth from him for so long. She has been trying to extract her beauty from his skin. She has been dying to be loved by him again...but he will always leave her empty

Basketball is obviously one of the most popular sport in the entire planet. Almost everyone knows its basic rules. But North Korea has decided they want theirs to be a bit more intense by changing their point system.
The late Kim Jong Il has decided that he would rewrite basketball’s scoring setup. So it’s not just the plain old 2 pointer or 3 pointer scheme. That’s just too boring for him. After all, who’s going to contradict him in his hermit kingdom where everyone is obligated to applaud his ideas. But before we judge his alterations to this beloved sport, maybe it’s worth knowing what these new rules are:
A slam dunk is 3 points
Because why just give the player 2 points for his effort of an awesome slam dunk? It’s definitely worth more than that, right?
3 point shots will be counted as 4 points if it’s a perfect net shot
Everybody loves a perfect net shot. It’s as if the player’s throw was well calculated before it was made. So give him an extra point for that.
1 point deduction for every missed free throw
You’ve been given a chance to shoot the ball without any obstacles. That’s privilege according to Kim, and people who don’t use their privilege properly deserves a minus 1 in this game.
Any successful field goal shot in the last 3 seconds is worth 8 points
This makes the climax of the game more exciting. Imagine the losing team is down 7 points and they’ve only got 3 seconds left. In an ordinary basketball game, that team would have just given up and accepted defeat. It’s just physically impossible to win that game. But North Korean basketball offers hope with an 8 point score made in the last 3 seconds of the game. | <urn:uuid:20947a1e-1039-4bd7-a3b3-d1aa459b1a7a> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | http://world.quedank.com/asia/north-koreas-basketball-point-rules-makes-their-game-more-insane/ | 2022-10-04T11:17:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337490.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20221004085909-20221004115909-00279.warc.gz | en | 0.969153 | 379 | [

ATLANTA (AP) — U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler is quarantining after receiving mixed results from recent coronavirus tests, a day after she campaigned with Vice President Mike Pence and U.S. Sen. David Perdue in the state’s hotly contested twin Senate races.
The Georgia Republican took two rapid COVID tests on Friday morning that came back negative, a spokesperson for her campaign said in a statement Saturday night.
She received another test Friday evening and the results came back positive, the statement said. Loeffler tested again Saturday morning and the results were inconclusive.
Her campaign says she doesn’t have symptoms. Loeffler is following CDC guidelines and informing those with whom she was in direct contact, the statement said.
Loeffler appeared at a campaign event with Pence and Perdue in Georgia on Friday. She has held several rallies in recent weeks with crowds packed into close quarters and many audience members not wearing masks.
Loeffler is facing Democrat Raphael Warnock in a Jan. 5 runoff election — one of two races that will determine which party has control of the Senate.
The other race will feature Perdue and Democrat Jon Ossoff. Having won 50 Senate seats in the new Congress, Republicans need one more for control. A Democratic sweep of the Georgia runoffs would yield a 50-50 Senate, giving Vice President-elect Kamala Harris the tie-breaking vote to tilt the chamber to Democrats.
With a little over a month until the runoff election and all the candidates intensely campaigning, it wasn’t immediately clear what impact the tests would have on Loeffler’s ability to campaign. Warnock tweeted Saturday night that he was praying that her test results come back negative.
Two staff members for Loeffler tested positive for COVID-19 last month. At the time, a subsequent test for Loeffler came back negative, according to a statement from her office. | <urn:uuid:4dc0c820-351e-45e1-8808-40242076944d> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://wintergames.ap.org/timesleader/article/sen-loeffler-quarantining-after-mixed-covid-19-test-results | 2022-10-04T09:20:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337490.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20221004085909-20221004115909-00279.warc.gz | en | 0.970602 | 410 | [

Captron Co., Ltd.
Enterrise Co., Ltd.
K2 Co., Ltd.
Capcom Co., Ltd. (Japanese: 株式会社カプコン, Hepburn: Kabushiki-gaisha Kapukon) is a Japanese video game developer and publisher. It has created a number of multi-million-selling game franchises, with its most commercially successful being Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, Street Fighter, Mega Man, Devil May Cry, Dead Rising, Marvel vs. Capcom, and Ace Attorney. Mega Man, himself serves as the official mascot of the company. Established in 1979, it has become an international enterprise with subsidiaries in East Asia (Hong Kong), Europe (London, England), and North America (San Francisco, California).
Capcom's predecessor, I.R.M. Corporation, was founded on May 30, 1979 by Kenzo Tsujimoto, who was still president of Irem Corporation when he founded I.R.M. He worked concomitantly in both companies until leaving the former in 1983.
The original companies that spawned Capcom's Japan branch were I.R.M. and its subsidiary Japan Capsule Computers Co., Ltd., both of which were devoted to the manufacture and distribution of electronic game machines. The two companies underwent a name change to Sanbi Co., Ltd. in September 1981. On June 11, 1983, Tsujimoto established Capcom Co., Ltd. for the purpose of taking over the internal sales department.
In January 1989, Capcom Co., Ltd. merged with Sanbi Co., Ltd., resulting in the current Japan branch. The name Capcom is a clipped compound of "Capsule Computers", a term coined by the company for the arcade machines it solely manufactured in its early years, designed to set themselves apart from personal computers that were becoming widespread. "Capsule" alludes to how Capcom likened its game software to "a capsule packed to the brim with gaming fun", and to the company's desire to protect its intellectual property with a hard outer shell, preventing illegal copies and inferior imitations.
Capcom's first product was the coin-operated arcade game Little League (1983). It released its first real arcade video game, Vulgus (May 1984). Starting with the arcade hit 1942 (1984), they began designing games with international markets in mind. The successful 1985 arcade games Commando and Ghosts 'n Goblins have been credited as the products "that shot [Capcom] to 8-bit silicon stardom" in the mid-1980s. Starting with Commando (late 1985), Capcom began licensing their arcade games for release on home computers, notably to British software houses Elite Systems and U.S. Gold in the late 1980s.
Beginning with a Nintendo Entertainment System port of 1942 (published in Dec. 1985), the company ventured into the market of home console video games, which would eventually become its main business. The Capcom USA division had a brief stint in the late 1980s as a video game publisher for Commodore 64 and IBM PC DOS computers, although development of these arcade ports was handled by other companies. Capcom went on to create 15 multi-million-selling home video game franchises, with the best-selling being Resident Evil (1996). Their highest-grossing is the fighting game Street Fighter II (1991), driven largely by its success in arcades.
Capcom has been noted as the last major publisher to be committed to 2D games, though it was not entirely by choice. The company's commitment to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System as its platform of choice caused them to lag behind other leading publishers in developing 3D-capable arcade boards. Also, the 2D animated cartoon-style graphics seen in games such as Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors and X-Men: Children of the Atom proved popular, leading Capcom to adopt them as a signature style and use them in more games.
In 1990, Capcom entered the bowling industry with Bowlingo. It was a coin-operated, electro-mechanical, fully automated mini ten-pin bowling installation. It was smaller than a standard bowling alley, designed to be smaller and cheaper for amusement arcades. Bowlingo drew significant earnings in North America upon release in 1990.
In 1994, Capcom adapted its Street Fighter series of fighting games into a film of the same name. While commercially successful, it was critically panned. A 2002 adaptation of its Resident Evil series faced similar criticism but was also successful in theaters. The company sees films as a way to build sales for its video games.
Capcom partnered with Nyu Media in 2011 to publish and distribute the Japanese independent (dōjin soft) games that Nyu localized into the English language. The company works with the Polish localization company QLOC to port Capcom's games to other platforms; notably examples are DmC: Devil May Cry's PC version and its PlayStation 4 and Xbox One remasters, Dragon's Dogma's PC version and Dead Rising's version on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
In 2012, Capcom came under criticism for controversial sales tactics, such as the implementation of disc-locked content, which requires players to pay for additional content that is already available within the game's files, most notably in Street Fighter X Tekken. The company defended the practice. It has also been criticized for other business decisions, such as not releasing certain games outside of Japan (most notably the Sengoku Basara series), abruptly cancelling anticipated projects (most notably Mega Man Legends 3), and shutting down Clover Studio.
On August 27, 2014, Capcom filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Koei Tecmo Games at the Osaka District Court for 980 million yen in damage. Capcom claimed Koei Tecmo infringed a patent it obtained in 2002 regarding a play feature in video games.
On 2 November 2020, the company reported that its servers were affected by ransomware, scrambling its data, and the threat actors, the Ragnar Locker hacker group, had allegedly stolen 1TB of sensitive corporate data and were blackmailing Capcom to pay them to remove the ransomware. By mid-November, the group began putting information from the hack online, which included contact information for up to 350,000 of the company's employees and partners, as well as plans for upcoming games, indicating that Capcom opted to not pay the group. Capcom affirmed that no credit-card or other sensitive financial information was obtained in the hack.
Artist and author Judy A. Juracek filed a lawsuit in June 2021 against Capcom for copyright infringement. In the court filings, she asserted Capcom had used images from her 1996 book Surfaces in their cover art and other assets for Resident Evil 4, Devil May Cry and other games. This was discovered due to the 2020 Capcom data breach, with several files and images matching those that were included within the book's companion CD-ROM. The court filings noted one image file of a metal surface, named ME0009 in Capcom's files, to have the same exact name on the book's CD-ROM. Juracek was seeking over $12 million in damages and $2,500 to $25,000 in false copyright management for each photograph Capcom used. Before a court date could be made, the matter was settled "amicably" in February 2022. It comes on the heels of Capcom being accused by Dutch movie director Richard Raaphorst of copying the monster design of his movie Frankenstein's Army into their game Resident Evil Village.
In its beginning few years, Capcom's Japan branch had three development groups referred to as "Planning Rooms", led by Tokuro Fujiwara, Takashi Nishiyama and Yoshiki Okamoto. Later, games developed internally were created by several numbered "Production Studios", each assigned to different games. Starting in 2002, the development process was reformed to better share technologies and expertise, and the individual studios were gradually restructured into bigger departments responsible for different tasks. While there are self-contained departments for the creation of arcade, pachinko and pachislo, online, and mobile games, the Consumer Games R&D Division is an amalgamation of subsections in charge of game development stages.
Capcom has three internal Consumer Games Development divisions:
- Division 1, headed by Jun Takeuchi, with Resident Evil, Mega Man, Devil May Cry, Dead Rising, and other major franchises (usually targeting global audiences).
- Division 2, headed by Ryozo Tsujimoto (who also the heads Mobile Online Development Division) with Monster Hunter, Ace Attorney, Onimusha, Sengoku Basara, and other franchises with more traditional IP (usually targeting audiences in Asia).
- Division 3, with Street Fighter, Marvel vs. Capcom, Lost Planet, Dragon's Dogma, and other online-focused franchises (games focused on online multiplayer and/or tournaments).
In addition to these teams, Capcom commissions outside development studios to ensure a steady output of titles. However, following poor sales of Dark Void and Bionic Commando, its management has decided to limit outsourcing to sequels and newer versions of installments in existing franchises, reserving the development of original titles for its in-house teams. The production of games, budgets, and platform support are decided on in development approval meetings, attended by the company management and the marketing, sales and quality control departments.
Branches and subsidiaries
Capcom Co., Ltd.'s head office building and R&D building are in Chūō-ku, Osaka. The parent company also has a branch office in the Shinjuku Mitsui Building in Nishi-Shinjuku, Shinjuku, Tokyo; and the Ueno Facility, a branch office in Iga, Mie Prefecture.
The international Capcom Group encompasses 15 subsidiaries in Japan, rest of East Asia, North America, and Europe. Affiliated companies include Koko Capcom Co., Ltd. in South Korea, Street Fighter Film, LLC in the United States, and Dellgamadas Co., Ltd.
In addition to home, online, mobile, arcade, pachinko and pachislo games, Capcom publishes strategy guides; maintains its own Plaza Capcom arcade centers in Japan; and licenses its franchise and character properties for tie-in products, movies, television series and stage performances.
Suleputer, an in-house marketing and music label established in cooperation with Sony Music Entertainment Intermedia in 1998, publishes CDs, DVDs, and other media based on Capcom's games. Captivate (renamed from Gamers Day in 2008), an annual private media summit, is traditionally used for new game and business announcements.

Capcom started its Street Fighter franchise in 1987. The series of fighting games are among the most popular in their genre. Having sold almost 50 million copies, it is one of Capcom's flagship franchises. The company also introduced its Mega Man series in 1987, which has sold almost 40 million copies.
The company released the first entry in its Resident Evil survival horror series in 1996, which become its most successful game series, selling more than 100 million copies. After releasing the second entry in the Resident Evil series, Capcom began a Resident Evil game for PlayStation 2. As it was significantly different from the existing series' games, Capcom decided to spin it into its own series, Devil May Cry. The first three entries were exclusively for PlayStation 2; further entries were released for non-Sony consoles. The entire series has sold over 20 million copies. Capcom began its Monster Hunter series in 2004, which has sold more than 70 million copies on a variety of consoles.
Although the company often relies on existing franchises, it has also published and developed several titles for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii based on original intellectual property: Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, Dead Rising, Dragon's Dogma, Asura's Wrath and Zack and Wiki. During this period, Capcom also helped publish several original titles from up-and-coming Western developers, including Remember Me, Dark Void and Spyborgs, titles other publishers were not willing to gamble on. Other games of note are the titles Ōkami, Ōkamiden and Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective.
In 2015, the PlayStation 4 version of Ultra Street Fighter IV was pulled from the Capcom Pro Tour due to numerous technical issues and bugs. In 2016, Capcom released Street Fighter V with very limited single player content. At launch, there were stability issues with the game's network that booted players mid-game even when they were not playing in an online mode. Street Fighter V failed to meet its sales target of 2 million in March 2016.
Capcom compiles a "Platinum Titles" list, updated quarterly, of its games that have sold over one million copies. It contains over 100 video games. This table shows the top ten titles, by sold copies, as of June 30, 2022.

The return of Jesus Christ heralds a RECKONING–not only for the world, but for ALL of the men who dwell in the world.
Many do NOT know what a reckoning is.
a settling of accounts
as in a day of reckoning
A ‘settling of accounts:’ that may be the ONE aspect of the last days which is–regardless of what men might claim–understood.
God’s Word declares that MOST men will have their day of reckoning on the day they depart this world; i.e., they die.
“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment”
Some men, however, will have their day of reckoning during the time when Jesus Christ returns to earth.
So, the reckoning is a JUDGMENT.
And what is a JUDGMENT but a ‘settling of accounts’?
“And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.”
God’s Word relates that the men who dwell upon the earth will NOT be a happy lot when they see Jesus coming–primarily because Jesus Christ is coming to settle accounts–and except for the FEW who are members of the kingdom of heaven, all other men will be found wanting on that great day of reckoning.
“Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.”
A few years ago, it was popular in some quarters to display posters and statues of “Buddy Jesus” or “Buddy Christ.”
Buddy was even a star of his own movie!
The icon consists of a statue of Jesus, smiling and winking while pointing at onlookers with one hand and giving the thumbs-up sign with the other hand. Buddy Christ was later produced as an action figure and a bobblehead. The image has since been turned into a popular Internet meme.
(One reason Buddy was popular is because so many thought of Jesus Christ as a loved-up Buddy Christ.)
Actually, Jesus Himself painted a completely different picture.
“Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.”
God’s Word paints a much more somber picture of Jesus the Judge.
Jesus will begin His judgment of God’s enemies at the battle of Armageddon.
“And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.”
“Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat? I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment. For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.”
So, through all of the chaos and confusion surrounding the last days, one thing stands out: it will be a day of JUDGMENT.
A day of reckoning.
“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.”
Many men believe stories they have been told that they will NOT have to EVER face JUDGMENT or a time of reckoning for their behavior in this life.
These men are deceived.
One of the most terrifying times as a human has to be (believing that there will be NO reckoning or settling of accounts for one’s behavior), seeing Jesus Christ return, and waiting one’s turn to be judged.
God’s Word is CLEAR–at least a half-dozen times or more: all men will be judged by God through Jesus Christ and will be held responsible for their actions, good or bad (mostly bad).
There will be judgment.
There will be a reckoning.
“In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.”
IS the reader prepared to face his time of reckoning?
DOES the reader believe Jesus Christ is the Perfect Judge–OR, does the reader believe that Jesus Christ is your buddy?
It is not YET too late: there is still a little time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.
DOES the reader believe he is saved?
DOES the reader believe he is NOT saved?
THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”

An investigative report behind the recent lack of success for the Yankees. Could the reason be a Rabbi from Brooklyn?
Bronx, NY- As Yankee fans watched the Marlins celebrate their World Series victory; they were left to wonder what is wrong with the Yankees- other than the fact that they wear pinstripes to play baseball and sweatpants to business meetings. Some fans blame it on the Yankees pitching, who seemed to be Marlin fans at the most inopportune times. Others blamed it on the cool Yankee bats, which made the North Pole feel like a Miami shul without air conditioning.
One self-describe huge Yankee fan, Mary Groys blamed it on Aaron Boone: “Look at him, he’s just plain ugly. Even with that Jeter cutie on the team, it is still too ugly. Does he even get manicures?!?”, she said while devouring the last bite of her nine foot hero.
According to one unnamed Yankee starting third baseman it is the fan’s fault: “Our fans didn’t step up for the big game. Jeffrey Mayer (who helped the Yankees turn an out into a home run a few years ago) didn’t come to the game and Steve Bartman didn’t interfere with a Marlin’s foul ball. Where is the passion by our fans?”
But one fan, Tal Mudovich, a former student at Yeshiva Torah Vodath, is certain he knows the source behind the Yankee woes since the 2001 World Series meltdown. He blames it on “The Curse of Rebbi No”.
“I never believed it, but seeing the Yankees meltdown three seasons in a row, when they were clearly the superior team leaves me with no doubt,” Mudovich said. “Only the Mets, and The New York Ranger are skilled enough to lose because they have too much talent.”
According to Mudovich and unnamed sources, Rabbi Noach Norensburg, a rabbi at Torah Vodath, cursed the Yankees when student constantly discussed the Yankees during the 2001 season instead of learning torah. The next year “Rabbi No”, as he is known to his students, made his curse permanent when more Yankee talk detracted from torah talk. “As long as you continue to let your torah studies down, the Yankees will let you down.” he was quoted as saying.
Rumors circulated that Rabbi No, a Kohen, set his hands in the traditional Birchas Kohanim formation when he annunciated the curse. Rabbi No was not available for comment. We didn’t pursue him, not wanting to risk being cursed.
Curses in baseball are quickly becoming in vogue. The Cubs have “The Curse of the Billy Goat”, the Redsox have “The Curse of the Bambino” and now the Yankees have their own curse. Even though the Yankees, who were once considered the class of the league, won’t win a World Series again, their fans can take comfort in knowing that their curse is now the class of the league.
According to sources, Steinbrenner is contacting the Vaad Harabonim of Flatbush to annul the curse. If the Vaad doesn’t comply he has threatened to fire them and seek Rabbis in Teaneck. | <urn:uuid:d22d738f-e45a-4357-95fc-24088c4248de> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | http://www.jewcentral.com/the-curse-of-rabbi-no/ | 2022-10-07T04:00:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337906.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20221007014029-20221007044029-00279.warc.gz | en | 0.972204 | 709 | [

Who we are
Our purpose is: to know God and to make Him known through sound doctrine, genuine fellowship and fervent prayer.
Where we come from
Faith 2 Faith Church started in 2006 with Bible Studies. Many students from the local colleges attended.

The inaugural service began June of 2007 at the Hampton Inn Hotel in Duncan SC. After being there six months, Faith 2 Faith was able to move to a building on the west side of Spartanburg and began growing in fellowship and relationship with God and each other.
Where we're headed
At thirteen years old, Faith 2 Faith's desire is to continue to cultivate relationships with people of as many nationalities and backgrounds as possible. We seek to build a multi-cultural environment that teaches us how to embrace differences as well as discover our similarities.

Passes and penalties give Southgate's new England familiar notes of torment
Penalties. It just had to be penalties.
Having grown immeasurably as a football manager and a statesmanlike public figure over recent years, Gareth Southgate might one day consider himself a specialist in exorcisms.
Demons have been slayed from 12 yards and now here are another legion of them to haunt poor Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka – the latter remarkably taking the first penalty of his career.
English football, 55 years of hurt and counting, allows these events to stick to the collective consciousness.
When England beat Colombia in a 2018 World Cup shoot-out, Southgate let out a guttural roar; a cathartic celebration to banish memories of his decisive miss against Germany in the semi-final of Euro 96.
Except they needed snuffing out all over again when Germany arrived back at Wembley in the last 16. Then there was all the tension of a Wembley semi-final against Denmark. England's demons arrive in Whac-A-Mole form.
But there was another more subtle and ever-lurking tormentor for Southgate's excellent team as they came agonisingly close to immortality.
Dream opening scripted by Southgate
The absence and then avalanche of pre-penalties substitutions brought understandable questions over Southgate's decision-making, but the opening to the match felt like Pinewood Studios transplanted across town – a perfectly scripted demonstration of a coach's every call coming up trumps.
Luke Shaw's quickest goal in any European Championship final gave emphatic answers to all of the pre-match quandaries over Southgate's tactical plan for Italy, effectively ticking off all the of the key plot points like a neatly crafted screenplay.
How was Harry Kane going to deal with the formidable central defensive duo of Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci? Would he be effective dropping deep to occupy the Azzurri's slick midfield operators? Before the England captain's tournament took off with that late goal in the last-16 win over Germany, his lack of penalty area involvement became a source of concern and conjecture.
He came into his own half to receive a Shaw pass, turned smoothly into space and released Kieran Trippier – opening up the whole pitch and a field of dreams.
Yes, Trippier. The experienced Atletico Madrid defender was introduced in place of livewire Arsenal teenager Saka as Southgate reverted to a 3-4-3. Would that end up being an overly defensive note sounded by the manager, leaving Italy's centre-halves untroubled and undercooked left-back Emerson without examination?
Well, here were England flying at their opponents in the second minute. Kyle Walker, the right-sided centre-back, clattered past Shaw on the overlap like a freight train full of Gatorade. Trippier measured his cross to perfection.
But with this defensive formation and Kane as the deep-lying forward, paying an audacious tribute to his opponents by turning in a fabulous Francesco Totti impersonation throughout he first half, would England have enough players attacking balls into the box? Oh, there was Shaw, up from left wing-back and measuring a superb finish to spark pandemonium in the stands.
Azzurri's pass masters tame Three Lions
Two hours later, the mood music was sharply different as Southgate's men headed into extra time somewhat bedraggled.
Roberto Mancini's decision to remove Ciro Immobile after the centre-forward did 55 minutes of great work in the name of nominative determinism was key. With the electrifying Federico Chiesa leading an attack without a fixed focal point, Italy were a team transformed.
The Juventus forward sent a blistering left-footed drive just wide in a rare moment of first-half defiance from the Azzurri and he remained their main threat. Behind him, Jorginho and Marco Verratti were enjoying Wembley's green expanses amid wearying legs. During the first half, they looked more like tourists trying to shove their way through the impromptu pre-match revelry in Leicester Square.
Italy's equaliser came courtesy of the artisans rather than the artists – Chiellini manhandling John Stones at a corner and Bonucci on hand to scramble in the rebound after Jordan Pickford saved from Verratti's diving header.
Southgate changed shape after that leveller, introducing Saka for Trippier. Jordan Henderson followed in place of Declan Rice, whose influence had declined sharply along with that of Mason Mount.
Mancini's in-game intuition, honed through seasons of elite club management, proved more decisive in terms of changing a story told by a final pass count of 823-424 in Italy's favour. Before his thunderous penalty, Harry Maguire made the most England passes with 66. Five Italy players attempted more, with Verratti and Jorginho clocking 119 and 99 respectively.
As Italy's battery of playmakers shuffled into the ascendancy, Phil Foden's injury absence felt cruel for Southgate. For all the exciting talent in his squad, for all England's improvement in terms of game management and tactical flexibility, faced with a technically superior midfield there were problems beyond the footballing capabilities of the men in white.
It felt like Mount remained on the field too long, but Southgate does not have a Verratti or a Jorginho up his sleeve, however effective Rice and Kalvin Phillips have proved over the past month.
The world-leading academy system in England and the manner in which it feeds St George's Park suggests those players will come.
Imagine, even five years ago, an attacking midfielder such as Leicester City's James Maddison not being in the England squad because the likes of Jack Grealish, Foden and Mount already are. Talent will continue to bloom. Just think how good Jude Bellingham will be by Qatar 2022.
Midfielders to dictate alongside those who create are the next requirement if a team taking giant strides in the right direction are to make the final step towards glory and away from those gruesome trials by combat from 12 yards. | <urn:uuid:daedd98d-064e-4839-b25a-8fd2bb8418b4> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.livescore.com/en/news/passes-and-penalties-give-southgates-new-england-familiar-notes-of-torment-2021071123290632504/ | 2022-09-26T12:49:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030334871.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20220926113251-20220926143251-00479.warc.gz | en | 0.958392 | 1,295 | [

OMAHA, Neb. (NCBWA) – After leading Notre Dame back to the NCAA College World Series for the first time since 2002, head coach Link Jarrett has been named the 2022 National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Mike Martin National Coach of the Year.
“Coach Link Jarrett is very deserving of the 2022 NCBWA Mike Martin National Coach of the Year Award,” Bo Carter, NCBWA Executive Director said. “He has done an exceptional job in his short time as the Notre Dame skipper, providing leadership and developing a championship-level baseball squad. One thing I have noticed is that coach Jarrett goes about his business and strives to instill all the same qualities and characteristics that Mike Martin had in his Florida State squads.”
Jarrett led the Irish to their first 40-win mark since 2006 and back to Omaha for the third time in program history. Jarrett is one of two coaches (Mike Bianco, OIe Miss) in the eight-team field to reach the College World Series as a player and coach after going three times as a player at Florida State.
Notre Dame is one of two teams in the College World Series to earn its spot in Omaha after winning the Regional and Super Regional rounds on the road. The Irish swept the Statesboro Regional with a 3-2 win over Texas Tech, a 6-4 win over host Georgia Southern and the regional-clinching 2-1 win over the Red Raiders. Notre Dame claimed the Super Regional opener against top-seeded Tennessee 12-4 and clinched its spot in Omaha with a 7-3, comeback victory in the series rubber match, to become the first team to win a series in Knoxville all season.
“A ton of credit needs to go to Jarrett and his staff for leading his 2022 Fighting Irish baseball squad to the NCAA College World Series, not only winning the regional at Georgia Southern, but the Super Regional at Tennessee, knocking off one of college baseball’s all-time great programs.” Carter added.
Jarrett, in his third season in South Bend, has led the Irish to a 40-15 overall record, including a 16-11 mark in ACC play this year. Notre Dame won all three games at the Cambria College Classic in Minneapolis in March, claimed conference series wins at No. 17 NC State, at No. 5 Florida State, Clemson, Wake Forest, Boston College and Pitt and added two more wins over Florida State and Virginia at the ACC Conference Tournament.
Under Jarrett this season, three players were named All-Americans; starting pitcher John Michael Bertrand was named to the NCBWA All-America Second Team, two-way standout Jack Brannigan earned third-team honors from Perfect Game and lefthander Jack Findlay earned Freshman All-America honors from Collegiate Baseball. Bertrand was also named the NCBWA District Five Player of the Year and ABCA Midwest All-Region First Team.
About the Mike Martin National Coach of the Year Award
The National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Coach of the Year Award, introduced in 2008, is voted on by the NCBWA Board of Directors, and chosen from a list that includes all Division I conference coaches of the year and the coaches of the eight NCAA College World Series teams.
In 2020, the NCBWA board of directors voted unanimously to name the annual award after Mike Martin, the winningest head coach in NCAA Division I baseball history after he retired at Florida State in 2019 with a 2,029-736-4 mark over 40 seasons in leading the FSU program from 1980-2019.
“When I heard about it,” he said with a smile, “I was simply flabbergasted. It is such an honor to have my name associated with this award, and it is a tribute to all the players and coaches who worked with me at Florida State.”
"We could not think of any other coach, historically, to associate a name for this annual award besides coach Mike Martin," said NCBWA executive director Bo Carter. "He has meant so much to college baseball as it has continued year-by-year to gain additional national popularity."
NCBWA membership includes writers, broadcasters and publicists. Designed to promote and publicize college baseball, it is the sport's only college media-related organization, founded in 1962.

You adore your suede shoes, and you probably paid a bundle for them. It's worth learning how to maintain and properly care for your suede shoes to give them the longest possible life in your closet. Here are five tips you can use to keep them in good shape.
- Seal the Suede
Before you wear your new shoes out on the town, take the time to apply a sealant to protect them from the elements. Even if you only wear them to the office, they can still be exposed to rain, dirty streets and puddles. You'll need to reapply the sealant every few months, so mark on your calendar when you do it to keep track.
- Brush Out Your Suede
Every few months, suede starts to look a bit worn. Bring it back to life with a vigorous-though-not-hard brushing with a suede brush or toothbrush. You want to help the fibers on the material look lively again.
- Use Only Special Suede Cleaners
The fastest way to ruin a pair of suede shoes is to clean them with water, soap or anything else other than suede cleaner. Use this cleaner immediately if you get any stains on your shoes, such as ink blots or blood.
- Use a Shoehorn to Get into the Shoes
Suede can pick up marks and creases easily. Using a shoehorn can help you avoid such marks on your shoes. It also limits contact with your fingers, which carry natural oils that can hurt your shoes.
- Use Shoetrees
Your shoes need a short break when you arrive at the end of the day. Allow them to air out for 15 minutes, then put shoetrees inside them to help them retain their natural shape.
FOLLOW THESE FIVE TIPS ON PROTECTING SUEDE SHOES
Now that you've read our maintenance tips for protecting your suede shoes, you may need to purchase some of Furniture Clinic's suede footwear products, including Suede & Nubuck Cleaner and Protector or a Suede Cleaning Brush. We also offer a Shoe Stain and Water Repellentwhich is perfect for any item of footwear, clothing or accessory! When you spend $25 or more, we'll also throw in free shipping.

The well-known online magazine Cool As Leicester has really taken off within the last few years. Our founder Romail Gulzar, spoke to the woman behind it all, Gabby Miller, who tells us everything about growing up in Leicester and how she was inspired to start this great independent business.
Leicestershire is full of fantastic publications and independents supporting one another. Local hospitality and entertainment venues have come to rely on well-connected, and knowledgeable individuals to make noise for them in an already incredibly loud social media sphere. Gabby Miller found her way into this industry of online publicity after realising her own need for it.
Gabby grew up in Leicester. A lot of people will agree that there is a certain pull that the city exerts on its citizens. Similarly to so many others before her, Gabby moved away from the city to pursue her education, studying law at Leeds University. After graduating, she moved to London to study a Master’s degree in criminology and law, all the while making good use of being in the capital. Music plays a big part in Gabby’s life and it was something she couldn’t ignore, even during her studies. I love watching concerts and gigs,” said Gabby. “I spent a lot of time writing reviews in the student newspaper too. I got my foot in the door at music venues down there and those experiences within the music industry are actually what led me back to Leicester.”
Gabby worked in Press and Publicity at De Montfort Hall, finally working within the industry that she was made for, and was pulled back to a city that she loves. “Leicester is unrecognisable from when I was a kid,” she said. “We used to go rollerskating at Zanzibar! I have also always been a big football fan so going to watch the games with my dad is a great memory too. I just think it’s amazing now and I’m really pleased to work with so many local businesses and see how the city is thriving compared to how it was 15-20 years ago.
“I think the business scene has changed a lot too, although it’s not really something I paid much attention to when I was younger! I think it’s certainly changed a lot since I started working here. I’ve been doing this for 6 years now. To see the number of people that have set up new businesses in that time, even recently with everything that’s been going on, the number of people that have used that as an opportunity to create something is fantastic to see.
“I first set up Cool As Leicester after getting frustrated whilst working in PR. You’re constantly trying to gain coverage in different publications and I was really getting frustrated by the lack of media outlets in Leicester. Back then, social media was very different to now. You now have a rise of influencers on Instagram but we didn’t have stuff like that back then. There wasn’t anything online that’s bringing everything together such as food and drink, what’s on, where to go, music—so I thought, well I’ll just set it up myself. It took off really well and was popular across different venues that I was approaching about it.”
When asked what she thought of Leicester’s music scene and how well it’s currently doing, Gabby said, “I think it’s good! There’s obviously been some changes over lockdown—for example, the comedy festival has taken over The Cookie. The Cookie was probably the city’s key small music venue really, with some of the names it was bringing through there. It’s going to be really interesting to see how that works coming out of lockdown. I think there’ll still be gigs carrying on there and the people that were promoting for The Cookie will still be arranging gigs there and elsewhere in the city. But it will be interesting to see how that change develops. The city has some amazing small venues such as The Sound House, The Shed, The Musician, the people at The Y. And we’ve got bands such as Easy Life that are really putting Leicester on the map again.”
Of course, taking the plunge into self-employment is daunting at the best of times. Turning your back on a regular paycheck and looking ahead into uncertainty and possible lack of funds seems like a huge risk. When asked if she ever regretted taking this path, Gabby said, “No, not at all. I think it was difficult at the time—those first steps when you decide to do it. But I certainly wouldn’t change anything now. I think Cool As Leicester is going to grow more and more really. I think we’ve been quite fortunate with the lockdown. I work a lot on the PR side of things as well, offering those services to local businesses. This comes under the same umbrella but is slightly different to the work I do with Cool As Leicester. A lot of that took a big hit with the lockdown so I was able to really focus down and work on Cool As Leicester and build those platforms. Over the last year we’ve seen Instagram followers double, Facebook followers are going up and up, we’ve got our weekly newsletter—building on that content has been the goal. I want it to be on a level where, if a new business is opening up, Cool As Leicester will come straight to their mind as someone they want to work and be involved with.”
Taking the risk has evidently paid off for Gabby. Cool As Leicester has become a household name in and amongst venues in the music scene. When asked what advice she’d offer to those individuals contemplating transforming their ideas into the business venture they’ve always dreamed of, Gabby said, “I would say that if it’s something you can start whilst you’re still working full-time, it can feel daunting when thinking of those extra hours you’re going to have to put in. But if you can make those first steps when you’ve still got that security of work coming in, that’s a really important thing to do, just because you can build that up and it will give you that confidence to jump straight into it. I think if you’ve got a dream and you genuinely think it’s something that could work, absolutely go for it, because you don’t want to look back and regret not doing it.”

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras — Honduras’ government has declared a state of emergency due to a dengue fever outbreak that has killed 16 people and sickened 12,000.
Health Minister Salvador Pineda says Tuesday’s decree means the government is making it a priority to prevent and control the disease and fight the mosquitoes that spread it.
Pineda says more than half of Honduras’ municipalities have registered dengue fever cases.
Authorities say two Hondurans died last year from the disease and there were no deaths registered in 2011. But the country’s worst dengue fever outbreak in recent years was in 2010, when 83 people died and more than 66,000 had the illness.
Dengue causes high fever, joint pains and nausea. In severe cases, it can lead to internal bleeding, liver enlargement, circulatory shutdown and death. | <urn:uuid:dee83fea-4157-4141-ada0-4bf46e1123a4> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://endtimebibleprophecy.wordpress.com/tag/mosquitos/ | 2022-09-30T12:42:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335469.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20220930113830-20220930143830-00479.warc.gz | en | 0.963134 | 197 | [

OMAGH jockey, Simon Torrens, last season’s champion con-ditional rider, landed the featured Bar One Handicap aboard the Joseph O’Brien trained, ‘Winner Takes It All’ on the final session of Bellewstown’s Summer Festival on Saturday.
The winner, owned by JP McManus, always travelled extr-emely well prior to leading before the final flight in the £40,000 festival winner to score in style and gets an automatic entry in the Galway Hurdle for winning.
Torrens said: “That good ground is important to him and he did it really well. It was my first time riding him. I’ll leave plans up to Joseph (O’Brien) and Mr McManus and Fran Berry (Racing Manger), but I’d love to ride him in a Galway Hurdle, if he does end up going there. He was travelling so well, I had no option but go on before the last.”
Warrenpoint handler, Leanne Breen was also on the scoreboard at the popular festival, when ‘That’s Mad’, runner up at Down Royal’s Derby meeting, won the valuable sprint handicap on Thursday even-ing with top jockey, Kevin Manning again taking the mount.
Breen said: “He ran very well here last year and was beaten by a good filly in ‘A Step Too Far’. In those better races it suits him, as he has a better pace to aim at. He was very tough there today, as it wasn’t straightforward for him. He’s done it well. He’s run against a lot of those horses before and they have beaten him, so to get up today is good and means that he’s improving. We’ll see what the handicapper does, but there is plenty of races for him. We’ll keep him busy this year, as he’s getting tougher and taking his races well.”

The Duke and Duchess will start their day by visiting a photography project run by the local Mind organisation in Caernarfon. The project has been designed to give young people a voice to talk about their experiences and challenges of living with mental health problems.
They will also visit GISDA while in the town, a charity that provides support and accommodation for homeless young people in the area. William is a long-term patron of Centrepoint, a charity which provides accommodation and support to young homeless people, so it is an issue he is particularly close to.
Prince William and Kate are sure to be greeted by locals and well-wishers as they arrive in Caernarfon's Castle Square, before travelling on to an Outdoor Education Centre in Snowdonia. The centre is run by Mountain Rescue England and Wales, of which William is Patron.
William and Kate recently marked World Mental Health Day during another engagement
While at the centre, the royal couple will meet young people from a local school who have all undertaken anti-stigma and discrimination training to increase their awareness of how to address mental health problems among their peers.
Their busy day will culminate with a visit to the Men's Shed movement in Denbigh, a nationwide initiative that is acknowledged as playing a crucial role in maintaining the mental health and wellbeing of young men.
William and Kate both work to build awareness and understanding of mental health illnesses and problems, and recently marked World Mental Health day by attending an event hosted by the charity Mind at London's Harrow College.
The Duchess also made her return from maternity leave in September by carrying out a solo engagement at the Anna Freud Centre, which promotes mental health in children. | <urn:uuid:ffdca6f4-f647-4096-b019-3c0b72fae2e4> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.hellomagazine.com/royalty/2015111328229/prince-william-kate-middleton-wales-engagements/ | 2022-10-03T04:45:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337398.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20221003035124-20221003065124-00479.warc.gz | en | 0.966671 | 465 | [

International Writers Magazine - Our Tenth Year: Burma
Aung San Suu Kyi Into a Cambodian Classroom
Raising awareness of the plight of Aung
San Suu Kyi among students through music in rural Cambodia leaves
a song in their heart.
At 10:00am in early October 2008, with the dark clouds menacingly appearing
low and threatening to deliver a deluge of rain, I asked my
class of nine students, "What would you like to know about
One student raised her hand and said in a quiet, high-pitched voice,
"Teacher, who is your hero? Please tell us."
The nine students
who only a week earlier initially approached me for voluntarily
tutorials, had put me on the spot. Students have an incredible
ability to show how simple it is to be caught off-guard in the art of
conversation. However, I was glad that somebody had taken the initiative
to spontaneously ask such a question because it provided me with an
opportunity to learn how far their knowledge of the world extended and
what issues they cared about.
In a split second, I asked myself what response would provide the best
example; an iconic figure idolized across the western world, a regular
citizen in a western country who is not famous but one I can more readily
identify with, or a Cambodian identity my students would know, which
would show respect for my host nation and its people.
Without so much as opening my mouth, I simply pointed to a printed
image on my t-shirt and played the waiting game,
hoping that one student would identify the world's most famous political
prisoner, Aung San Suu Kyi, leader of Burma's opposition political
party, the National League for Democracy (NLD).
Working as a volunteer provides me with greater flexibility of material
choice and lesson creation. Later in the class, I would introduce
U2's tribute, Walk On, and highlight to the class how music can
be an effective method of raising one's social conscience.
In Cambodian villages, open conversations regarding political and social
matters are rare amongst adults, let alone in the classroom, so
my lesson plan contained a great risk of failing. However, I had
observed a small number of high school students not only being able
to identify Aung San Suu Kyi, but also cite why she is famous and
that she is currently under house arrest.
As my finger remained fixated on the image, one student declared
excitedly, "David, I know that lady," while pointing to my
"Who is she?" I asked.
"She is Aung San Suu....", and although unable to pronounce
Kyi, I had already accepted her answer as correct.
I continued by saying, "Where have you seen her face?"
"We study her for English class. I show you."
The student opened up her exercise book and pulled out a photocopied
article from an unidentified English language newspaper. It
quoted a spokeswoman claiming to represent a women's association
aligned with the Burmese military junta. The headline read, "Deport
Aung San Suu Kyi to UK."
The student's ability to identify such a public person impressed
me. Individuals with college level education from western
countries have been unable to demonstrate a similar knowledge. Several
months earlier while travelling through Laos, a backpacker from
California proclaiming to have a degree in International Affairs
majoring in Asian Studies asked me if Aung San Suu Kyi was a Chinese
is little wonder that the Burmese military junta defiantly
flout calls to release Aung San Suu Kyi unconditionally
if members of the informed international community cannot identify
political figures constantly in the global spotlight. Yet even
regional leaders have commented publicly on the need to keep Aung
San Suu Kyi out of the limelight. In 2008, then Prime
Minister of Thailand Samak Sundaravej accused the West of using
Aung San Suu Kyi's imprisonment as a tool to isolate Burma
and suggested they focus more on bilateral trade.
With the increasing
number of companies willing to invest in Burma, more companies are willing
to turn a blind to human rights for increased access to natural resources
such as gas.The class listened and re-listened to Walk On throughout
the week. I also played the song on guitar and provided vocals to demonstrate
the difficulty for native English speakers in getting the rhythm and
voice pitch correct. Together, we also worked through some of the
lyrical metaphors. The song became so popular, everybody in the class
formed groups of three and developed a roster to share the disc
outside of school time.
Upon my return to Tropang Sdok in January 2009, two students proudly
told me how they practised the tune two hours per day for an entire
month. Then suddenly they burst into song in unison, shyly
singing the first verse before apologizing. "We promise when
you come back, we will know it all," they assured me before excusing
themselves and making their way home for lunch.
I could only stand back and express my admiration as these softly
spoken teenagers broke free from the mould of being reclusive teenage
students and embraced a daunting task with much enthusiasm.
In a country where students will soon be learning about the horrific
crimes of the Khmer Rouge as part of their general education in history
class, these students may one day become versed in another part
of Southeast Asian affairs by encouraging others to speak out on behalf
of a woman who openly calls for the rights of oppressed citizens in
Burma to be respected and practised.
One day, there will be a growing movement in Cambodia on behalf of a
brave woman who provides hope and the singing bird in an open cage
will then finally fly for freedom.

The Brutal Truth About Laundry Payment – Part 2
How did coin become a dirty four-letter word in the squeaky clean business of laundry? Blame coin volume — not its use — for the backlash.
High vend prices and high capacity washers tethered to the low denomination quarter created a perfect storm for the value-added card system and set off the war against coins.
Rather than employing readily-available higher denomination coinage or surrogate round brass tokens, vended laundry manufacturers put the money behind plastic.
Valued-added cards went beyond plastic pay’s earliest iterations — machine-dispensed tickets and tokettes — by eliminating quarters. The coins may have gone away, but not the cash, as currency-to-card value transfer machines stacked bills just like changers.
For an investment of tens of thousands of dollars, an operator could replace coin acceptors and money boxes with card readers — all linked to an integrated platform and babysat by full-time staff.
The advent of centralizing collection, loading cash-to-card, counting down vends, and delivering rewards in an attended format ultimately made a bigger dent in the owner’s wallet than the industry’s revenue stream. Despite decades of advocates singing the praises of card-operated vended laundry, the platform appears to have peaked out at an approximate 10% market penetration.
While quarters continue to win, the victory isn’t being celebrated by operators caught shortchanged with high vend washers and small capacity money boxes. You’re not alone pulling that same machine vault multiple times per week.
It’s not fair to single out washers. Changers used to take ones and then fives. Now it’s tens and twenties. Funny thing, store owners happily accept bigger bills, but most still program their machines to spit out the same small quarters.
Proprietary cards did prove one thing: the money — and the narrative — of the vended laundry industry was firmly behind plastic to address the quarter collection dilemma.
Enter credit cards. Their impact on everyday life can’t be ignored. Transacting with a bank credit card or account-linked debit card is part of the payment landscape. And laundry owners understandably want in.
Retail establishments welcome plastic and invite customers to pay with whatever they have in their pocket. If they can’t and walk out the door, chances are they’re not returning. The same holds true for a laundry.
But while a big box retailer can get by with a modest number of card reader devices at checkout, a neighborhood coin laundry can’t. Think about it: Fully integrating credit card acceptance in a neighborhood laundry requires more devices than a giant Walmart.
Networking credit card readers might seem like a good idea until you consider how often they’re called into action. The price tag to purchase, install, integrate, maintain and transact payment through devices at every piece of equipment takes on new relevance when the overwhelming majority of customers will bypass them and keep plunking in quarters.
Central pay kiosks, which also link washers and dryers, again beg the question of how much initial outlay and ongoing chunk of the laundry’s revenue stream an owner is willing to fork over to avoid some aspect of collection duties.
While app-based smartphone pay — especially those enabled by the customer’s own cellular data and Bluetooth connections — brings hard costs down, the platform is in its infancy and has its work cut out in vended laundry and other industries to even reach credit card’s modest acceptance levels.
Smartphone pay in the higher profile self-service gas station industry hit a lackluster adoption rate of 4.5% in a recent national survey conducted by GasBuddy. And even the much-celebrated Apple Pay — along with Walmart Pay — remain mired in single digits.
Collecting is key
Putting aside all the bells and whistles of non-coin payment systems, their true appeal to a laundry operator is reducing — or even eliminating — coin collecting.
Go ahead and bash collecting, but there’s no denying the important role it plays in professional vended laundry management. The routine brings you face-to-face with machines — the lifeblood of your store.
You can spot something wrong in the blink of an eye and address it right then and there or get it on the to-do list, ensuring smooth operations and even smoother cashflow.
Collections are vital, but they don’t have to be brutal. If you’re imagining life with fewer coins and a magic door to credit card acceptance, have a look at my next post where a combo car wash-coin laundry dynamic duo is living the dream. | <urn:uuid:10a41121-4a6b-4e23-87ef-d3cd3974b511> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://imonex.com/imonex-the-brutal-truth-about-laundry-payment-part2/ | 2022-10-05T20:47:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337668.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20221005203530-20221005233530-00479.warc.gz | en | 0.932675 | 986 | [

Ravens guard Kevin Zeitler and defensive end Derek Wolfe were absent at practice Thursday, the team’s final workout this week.
Zeitler, who started in the Ravens’ preseason finale Saturday against the Washington Football Team, also was not present for the open viewing period at the team’s Wednesday practice. He missed time in training camp with a minor foot injury.
Wolfe sat out the Ravens’ win Saturday over Washington and hasn’t practiced in an open session in more than a week. He left a mid-August joint practice against the Carolina Panthers after suffering an apparent back injury, but coach John Harbaugh said afterward that it was “nothing serious at all.”
Cornerback Jimmy Smith (ankle), whom Harbaugh expected to miss practice this week, also remained out. He could return next week or “very early in the season,” Harbaugh said Monday. Defensive back/linebacker Anthony Levine Sr., a practice squad player who could be called up for the Week 1 game against the Las Vegas Raiders, was absent as well.
Left tackle Ronnie Stanley returned to practice after missing Wednesday’s session. | <urn:uuid:ba1eceaa-0b52-41eb-8bc6-ad59d8c5ec35> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/bs-sp-ravens-practice-kevin-zeitler-derek-wolfe-20210902-iz4wayqqbfhctptlujmwbm4754-story.html | 2022-10-05T22:19:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337668.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20221005203530-20221005233530-00479.warc.gz | en | 0.968922 | 237 | [

Snapchat under scrutiny from MPs over 'addictive' streaks
The firm behind the instant messaging app Snapchat has told MPs it may consider changes to its friendship streaks, which have been criticised for being potentially addictive.
Facebook will team up with Childnet & the Diana Award to train and empower young people to combat cyber bullying.
Facebook says tens of thousands of children in secondary schools will be taught how to counter cyber bullying by the social network.
The company is investing £1 million in helping pupils in UK secondary schools to become "digital safety ambassadors" - young people trained on how to counter online abuse.
Facebook lets anybody aged 13 or over to have a Facebook or Instagram account, but up to one in four children have experienced online bullying, according to the UK Council for Child Internet Safety estimates.
Facebook says it is providing online help on how to combat cyber bullying, and funding youth charities to carry out face-to-face training in classrooms. It has partnered with the Diana Award, an anti-bullying charity set up in memory of Diana, Princess of Wales, and Childnet International.
The social network's head of safety Antigone Davis said: "Over the last decade, we have developed a wealth of innovative resources on Facebook that enable young people to look after themselves and their peers, from our updated Safety Centre, to our online reporting tools. By offering trained digital safety ambassadors to every UK secondary school we are now taking this commitment offline too."
The company says it wants trained pupils in every school, ultimately meaning tens of thousands will be taught.

New ‘Dog Man’ Releases in the Dog Days of SummerThose who thought the big author tour had gone the way of the Hardy Boys will be glad to learn that in the run-up to the mid-August release of Dog Man: For Whom the Ball Rolls, Scholastic has announced that author and illustrator Dav Pilkey “will be appearing at arenas, military bases, ballparks, theaters, schools, libraries, book fairs and festivals—including being a featured author at the China Shanghai International Children’s Book Fair.”
This is particularly heady stuff with Netflix announcing a third season of DreamWorks’ production The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants will premiere on Friday (July 19).
The “Do Good Tour” tour in support of the seventh Dog Man graphic novel plans focus primarily on the States and Asian venues, with a start on August 17 at the Mississippi Book Festival in Jackson. By November, Pilkey will be on the way to the Shanghai show, plus stops n Hong Kong and Mumbai. Dates in 2020 are to include Australian and Canadian stops.
And the “Do Good” part involves a tour campaign that urges readers “to give back and make a positive impact in their communities.” Readers are being asked to demonstrate ways they “do good” with images and videos on social media, hashtagged #DoGood, #DogMan, and #DavPilkey.
The book is to have a simultaneous international release August 13 in the United States, Canada, the UK and Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and parts of Asia.
The prolific Pilkey has No. 8 on the way, too. Dog Man: Fetch-22 is set to release on December 10.
In a prepared statement, the author-illustrator is quoted saying, “I feel incredibly lucky and excited to have the opportunity to meet readers across the country and around the world.
“I’m humbled and grateful for the support from booksellers, parents, and educators who are spreading the important message of doing good and bringing communities together to celebrate reading.”
And Scholastic Trade president Ellie Berger says, “The Dog Man ‘Do Good’ campaign highlights the power of Dav Pilkey and his amazing ability to connect with readers. Dav’s ongoing personal mission to give all kids access to books is inspiring.”
‘Dog Man: The Musical’
All this is backgrounded by Dog Man: The Musical, which is having its world premiere run in TheaterWorksUSA’s production at the Lucille Lortel ion New York City through August 4. Jen Wineman has directed, with a book and lyrics by Kevin Del Aguila and music by Brad Alexander.
In her review of the show for The New York Times, Laurel Graeber was largely complimentary—especially because she found it to be “a family show that makes adults laugh, too, She noted as her only qualm the fact that “all the really interesting characters are male,” adding, “Although the production features women in two major roles, they’re still playing guys.”
Scholastic’s media messaging includes statistical summaries including more than 80 million copies in print for Pilkey’s Captain Underpants series, with translations into at least 25 languages.
As far as the Dog Man books are concerned, Scholastic cites more than 23 copies in print so far, comprising the first six books in the series, which is about “a lovable canine superhero who’s part dog and part policeman.”
Pilkey has more than 60 titles on the market. A part of his personal story is his second-grade diagnosis of dyslexia and “what is now widely known as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD),” as the Scholastic background for members of the media describes it.
“Because of his learning and behavioral issues in school,” the press materials remind us, “he was often sent out into the hallway by his teachers. It was in an elementary school hallway where Dav created comic books about superheroes who eventually became Dog Man and Captain Underpants.”
The Dog Man material was first published on 2016 and has been translated into at least 32 languages. Dog Man: Brawl of the Wild was released on December 24 with a first press run of 5 million copies. | <urn:uuid:eedaa5d7-b20d-416f-a08b-5886d1953fa5> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://publishingperspectives.com/2019/07/scholastic-supports-new-dog-man-with-international-pilkey-tour/ | 2022-09-26T16:03:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030334912.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20220926144455-20220926174455-00679.warc.gz | en | 0.961956 | 942 | [

Electronics industry event for New England shifts dates and adds new design and manufacturing show to the mix
Canon Communications today announced new dates and a new exposition hall for NEPCON East, its long established annual event for the electronics industry in New England at the Boston Convention Center. Originally planned for April 22-23, 2009, NEPCON East will now take place a month later on May 20-21, 2009 in a more desirable location at the center. The shift was made at the request of leading exhibitors who felt the show timing was too close to other U.S. industry events taking place near the same time.
"At the recently concluded NEPCON 2008 show, several of our most important exhibitors asked that we move our dates to resolve significant logistical issues they would face with our current 2009 dates," said Joshua Dome, Director of Sales for Canon's events division. "We are quite pleased we were able to make this happen for these key customers and the industry."
"I'm pleased that Canon was able to move NEPCON East to the late-May timeframe," said Brian Duffey, CEO for MYDATA, which is one of the show's largest exhibitors. "NEPCON East is a good show for us and the new timing will make participation possible for MYDATA in 2009. It's great to see that Canon heard the industry concerns and moved proactively to make this happen."
Along with the date shift, Canon also announced the introduction of Design & Manufacturing New England as a co-located show with NEPCON East and the previously co-located Assembly New England show in 2009. This new show joins Canon's suite of leading advanced design and manufacturing tradeshows that includes National Manufacturing Week/Design Engineering, Pacific Design & Manufacturing, Atlantic Design & Manufacturing, and Design & Manufacturing South. The overall Boston event will feature 375 exhibitors and 6,000 attendees.
"Design & Manufacturing New England will serve the highly concentrated OEM markets in New England," said Dome. "Key OEM sectors in attendance to the 150-exhibitor show will include electronics, defense, aerospace/aviation, instrumentation, industrial equipment, and medical. The cross-over of the expected 2,000 attendees will benefit NEPCON exhibitors who also target the OEM marketplace as noted above."
Canon Communications LLC, a portfolio company of Apprise Media LLC, is the leading publisher, trade show producer, and digital media company for the world's $3 trillion advanced, technology-based manufacturing industry, including medical device, packaging, design engineering, process technology, automated assembly, electronics, quality control, and plastics processing. | <urn:uuid:d7b8fab4-e0ef-4bc4-ae54-c7c0d728e938> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://smtnet.com/news/index.cfm?fuseaction=view_news&company_id=50433&news_id=5433 | 2022-09-28T00:57:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335059.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20220927225413-20220928015413-00679.warc.gz | en | 0.957685 | 537 | [

A new Israeli application, the first of its kind in the world, is allowing people who cannot speak to communicate with people everywhere, Israeli daily Walla reported.
Ola Mundo (“Hello World ” in Spanish) is an application that transmits instant messages using symbols for people whose speaking or writing ability is severely impaired. The technological breakthrough was developed by Ophir Harel, a Project Manager at an Israeli high tech firm who is also the father of a 10 -year-old autistic child, named Adam, Walla reports.
Harel created the application out of a profound sense of frustration: “I had no intention of developing an app. However two years ago, Adam’s therapy – which included speech and occupational therapy – wasn’t progressing. The few words Adam did say we had to coax out of him.” After researching possible alternative therapies for his son, Ophir realized that there was simply no solution for kids such as Adam who communicate primarily through the expression of emotions, Walla said.
Necessity being the mother of invention, Harel developed an application that allows children and adults who do not speak and write to communicate with the world around them by way of a new language comprised solely of symbols. Ola Mundo’s big leap forward is that its use is not dependent on proximity since the user of the application communicates by way of instant messaging.
After an incubation period that included the assembly of a dream team comprised of, among others, a former CEO of an Israeli start up that specializes in instant messaging technology, Ola Mundo finally went from being one man’s bright idea into an exciting reality.
Recently, Apple’s App Stores have begun selling Ola Mundo. In Israel, the version of Harel’s technological innovation that is being marketed is compatible with any iPads that are second generation or newer, as well as the iPad Mini. Due to heightened demand, it is currently possible to download the application for free – until the middle of January – and get a free one year trial.
In the near future, Ola Mundo is expected to be sold in the United States for an annual fee of 80 dollars.
According to Harel, parents are the driving force behind the growth of Ola Mundo. Therefore “…we invite parents to get involved as one community in shaping the future of our children, by way of the Ola Mundo platform,” he said.

Ultimate Process Killer is a small Windows application whose purpose is to help you kill running processes on the breeze.
The advantages of being portable
Since this is a portable program, it is important to mention that it doesn’t leave any traces in the Windows Registry.
You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you need to terminate running processes on the breeze, without having to go through installation steps.
Clean feature lineup
The primary panel lists all running processes and provides comprehensive information about each one, such as process name, ID, file path, parent process ID, thread count, priority, processor time, page file size, creation date, handle, creation class name, kernel mode time, OS name, private page count, Windows version, read and write operation count, virtual size, and many others.
Ultimate Process Killer gives you the possibility to kill the selected process, terminate only the selected processes, and refresh the current list with just one click.
What’s more, you can view the total number of detected processes, delete parent file, as well as make the app terminate a process when you perform a double-click mouse operation on the desired one. Tests revealed that the utility carries out a task quickly without eating up a lot of CPU and memory.
To sum things up, Ultimate Process Killer comes packed with a handy set of features for helping you manage running processes. The deletion option comes in handy especially if you have detected a malicious process running on your system, as it allows you to delete the parent virus file.

You’re reading Proglematist, a blog about software development and human factors. It was born on May 2012, its goal is to provide a simple place to read about software development, specifically the human factors involved.Porphyromonas gingivalis is the primary etiologic agent of severe and persistent periodontitis and has been implicated in the development of other systemic disorders such as cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, and respiratory diseases. The ability of P. gingivalis to cause these diseases is due, in part, to its pathogenicity factors that facilitate colonization and infection of host tissues. These include the Arg-gingipain (Rgp) family of proteins that are capable of degrading host proteins such as hemoglobin, fibronectin, and laminin, and the fimbrial serotype 2 and type 9 that promote attachment to host cells. Although much is known about P. gingivalis virulence, the genes encoding the proteins that promote pathogenicity and infectivity remain largely unknown. Over the past 4 years, we identified a number of virulence-associated genes in the P. gingivalis genome including the rgp-encoding genes rgpA and rgpB. The expression of rgpA and rgpB has been shown to be controlled by the regulatory genes bglR and bglG, respectively. In this project, we will further investigate the mechanisms involved in the regulation of rgpA and rgpB gene expression. We have made progress in the cloning of rgpB using as a probe an internal fragment of the gene. Using this probe, we have screened a P. gingivalis genomic DNA library and have obtained a P. gingivalis genomic DNA fragment of 2.7 kb that hybridizes with the bglG probe. This 2.7 kb fragment contains a gene, designated tgps1, that encodes a putative amino acid-rich protein. The gene tgps1 is predicted to be 21 amino acids in length and contains repeated sequences at its 3′-end. Preliminary data indicate that the transcription of tgps1 is regulated by a putative HspR binding site upstream of the gene. Mutations in the putative HspR binding site significantly increase the expression of tgps1, and the disruption of the putative HspR binding site reduces the | <urn:uuid:529a2766-5fe4-4571-9706-9a98fedc48d7> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | http://rsglobalconsultant.com/cpm-ebook-answers-integrated-2/ | 2022-09-30T15:46:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335491.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20220930145518-20220930175518-00679.warc.gz | en | 0.88742 | 1,470 | [

One thing that does confuse me now and again or makes me smile, are the search terms that people use, one recent one was:
was simon pegg in 4 weddings and a funaral
— James Clay (@jamesclay) May 9, 2013
The combination meant that the search query, was simon pegg in 4 weddings and a funaral, put my website near the top of the listings on the search engines.
Well in a final moment of clarity, just to note, Simon Pegg was not in Four Weddings and a Funeral, he was considered for the part of Rufus, which eventually went to Rowan Atkinson. | <urn:uuid:512f42a9-71ea-46c3-8977-e5268ddf8860> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://jamesclay.net/tag/search-engine | 2022-09-30T15:07:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335491.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20220930145518-20220930175518-00679.warc.gz | en | 0.957569 | 139 | [

Several newspaper publishers are researching a “radical plan B” for taking over the operation of the news supply chain in the event of a wholesaler collapse.
Sources confirmed that senior newspaper industry figures have been involved in examining the financial viability of Smiths News and Menzies – both of which have either closed or are consulting on closing depots in response to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
The sources described Menzies in particular as “a concern”, citing the impact of falling circulations, alleged compensation claims by publishers related to supply issues at its Coventry hub and the fallout from Aldi terminating its agreement with Menzies’ merchandising arm, Fore Partnership.
Read the latest ABC circulation figures
However, Menzies strenuously denied the reported financial concerns and cited that it was recently named by the Sunday Times in its annual list of the fastest-growing private UK firms.
The NFRN claimed newspaper publishers are looking for “a competition waiver to bring the industry together to discuss the future of the supply chain” in relation to the damage to the sector caused by the Covid-19 crisis.
One industry insider claimed the talks set the stage for potential regulatory approval for a new model with just one monopolistic news wholesaler “financed and supported” by news publishers.
Instead of a relationship with their news wholesalers, retailers would have agreements directly with publishers.
The threat of a wholesaler collapsing is seen as a major point of leverage in making the government consider the newspaper-led proposals. One publishing sector veteran explained: “From a government point of view, circulation decline or retailer margins wouldn’t be a top priority, but Scotland suddenly not having access to newspapers and magazines would be.”
betterRetailing can confirm that discussions between the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS), multiple retailers, trade groups and news publishers have taken place, with John Whittingdale, minister of state for media and data, looking into current issues within the supply chain, including retailers’ carriage charge concerns.
In response to news publisher calls for a competition waiver, the NFRN and ACS sent a joint letter to Whittingdale, calling for changes to carriage charges, requested delivery times, the regional monopolies held by each wholesaler and coupon redemption processes.
NFRN national president Stuart Reddish said these topics “must be up for discussion” as part of any collaboration between the government, publishers and wholesalers.
ACS chief executive James Lowman said the convenience sector had made “repeated attempts to engage with the industry to promote good practice at each stage of the supply chain for a number of years now. Sadly, convenience retailers are still contending with inefficiencies in the supply chain”.
Reddish said: “We stand ready to engage with publishers, wholesalers and the government to build a news supply chain that is fit for the challenges of 2020 and beyond.”
However, one senior source at a newspaper publisher warned that the trade groups “should be careful what they wish for”. They said a removal of the carriage service charge model would probably cause a severe reduction in retail margins to as little as 10%.
Industry experts added that the push for changes to the supply chain is being led by newspaper publishers due to the magazine sector being preoccupied with “severe challenges”, with warnings of cost-cutting exercises underway at leading distributors.
“Nobody is in a position to do this but the newspaper publishers,” said a senior source.
A spokesperson from Menzies responded: “Menzies Distribution is confident about our ability to fulfil the role we play in the newstrade supply chain, now and for the future. We are proud to play a part in the newstrade end-to-end supply chain and we are committed to ensuring a sustainable route to market.
“We have successfully delivered our vertical integration strategy within newstrade and we are the only wholesaler who has successfully diversified into adjacent markets supporting our core newstrade business, including logistics and parcel distribution; partnering with retailers and delivery consortiums in the delivery and collection of Covid-19 swab test kits, and the NHS in delivering vital PPE. Menzies Distribution is performing strongly; profitable and cash generative.”
Jonathan Bunting, CEO of Connect Group PLC, said: “The sustainability of our supply chain must always be paramount, but despite some understandable concerns given recent events, the current model remains remarkably robust.
“Throughout the coronavirus crisis, our operations – and those of our industry partners – have been stress tested to an unprecedented extent. And yet, by working together, we’ve maintained service and supported communities across the UK. It’s an achievement we should all be proud of and one that stands in stark contrast to many other supply chains.
“As our recent trading statement confirms, Smiths News has a strong and sustainable business model. We now have an undistracted focus on newspapers and magazine wholesaling, a commitment to investing in service and every confidence in our collective futures.”

This year’s play line-up consists of Shakespeare’s physical comedy The Comedy of Errors, “reimagined as the craziest family reunion ever,” as ASF puts it; and the comedy-drama I and You by Lauren Gunderson. Two students come together over a homework assignment but find much more has brought them together. Both plays will be performed by the professional acting company at ASF. Trip participants may choose to attend a “Bard Talk” before one of the performances. Details about the plays can be found here: https://asf.net/2019-2020-season/.
Saturday will feature a stop for lunch, a visit to the Legacy Museum and Memorial, supper at Golden Corral, and the performance of The Comedy of Errors on the Festival Stage. Sunday’s itinerary includes a boxed lunch on the beautifully landscaped ASF theater grounds and time to explore the grounds, visit the gift shop, etc., before the afternoon performance of I and You on the Octagon Stage.
The trip fee covers:
- tour bus transportation
- one night’s lodging at Best Western Inn (with complimentary breakfast)
- admission to the two plays
- two side excursions
- a background information packet on the plays
- a boxed lunch and dinner Saturday night
The trip is open to Georgia Highlands College students, employees, and their guests. Sign-up begins on Feb. 4 in the Office of Student Engagement on all GHC campuses and continues on a first-come, first-served basis until the sign-up deadline of March 9, unless tickets run out before then. A $50 deposit is required at the time of sign-up. The deposit becomes non-refundable on March 9. The balance of the trip fee is due April 1. The balance also becomes non-refundable on that date. (If someone must cancel from the trip after the refund dates, an effort will be made to find a replacement so a refund can be made, but this cannot be guaranteed.)
English classes, some other humanities and social science classes, and perhaps other classes as well will offer extra credit to trip participants. | <urn:uuid:b0bd7566-b558-48ef-a97b-329487f5b18c> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://sites.highlands.edu/student-engagement/trips/asf/ | 2022-10-01T23:25:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030336978.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20221001230322-20221002020322-00679.warc.gz | en | 0.943434 | 461 | [

“We cannot prevent all the many hardships, many sacrifices that we will face in the months ahead,” Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said in his speech to the general public on March 22, 2020.
“And while these hardships and sacrifices may break our hearts on occasion, we must not let them break our spirit and we must not let them break our resolves as Australians.”
The Australian government announced a second round of emergency economic aid, continuing what the Prime Minister himself calls an “unprecedented” series of steps taken by the federal government. So far, Australia has allocated nearly $190 billion in an effort to relieve the economic stress placed on Australians since the coronavirus outbreak began. That amounts to nearly 10% of the country’s GDP – an impressive figure to say the very least.
The Australian coronavirus economic rescue package includes:
- Support for small businesses
- Boost to welfare recipients
- Funding for people laid off as a result of coronavirus
- $550 biweekly supplement for eligible recipients
- Increased max wage subsidy for small businesses (now $100,000)
Prime Minister Morrison says that this is just the beginning, and that he expects to introduce more economic rescue packages over the coming months. Stay-tuned here for more info about the Australian government’s economic response to the coronavirus.

I want to start following Serie A next year. Games are only available on streams but I’m looking for a team to follow. Getting bored with MLS. I’m not interested in jumping on Juventus or similar and not a team that drops down on occasion. A team that plays enjoyable football and is a solid top 8 team consistently. Any suggestions? | <urn:uuid:71fb96fd-5da2-4aff-bc2e-83b002a89944> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://arsenal-mania.com/forum/threads/serie-a-thread.33708/page-163#post-5932710 | 2022-10-03T07:46:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337404.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20221003070342-20221003100342-00679.warc.gz | en | 0.95038 | 76 | [

Anyone who has been in a car accident understands how difficult it is, especially if you have been hurt. If you need one, how do you find the correct car accident attorney or a vehicle injury lawyer? You may come across dozens of attorneys who could be the perfect lawyer for you, but you must evaluate every law firm and attorney before you select one. If you have suffered an injury in a car mishap, you will need a lawyer to defend your side so that you can heal without worry. A good lawyer will ensure that all essential documentation is in place, provide you with legal guidance, calculate the proper settlement estimate, and gather evidence to support your case, negotiate with insurance officers and represent you in court if required.
When you interview potential lawyers, check for the following to ensure that you find a reliable car accident lawyer to handle your case.
A reasonable attorney will explain how they will help you win your case. They will provide you with detailed and complete information about all procedures, values, fees, and everything else that you need to know. Any questions that you have should be directly addressed as soon as possible. If you leave the lawyer’s office with more queries than answers, it is not the right lawyer. If you understand what they plan to do in the first meeting, there is a probability that you will have communication problems later.
Have An Interesting Discussion
Your situation should raise the interest of a car accident attorney. If the attorney is not engaged in your case, just putting forth the bare minimum effort, you may land up with a lower settlement than you otherwise would have. If the lawyer asks for a ton of information from you about your case, then it is the right lawyer.
Make sure that you receive a reference list from your lawyer. You should contact the references and speak to them, and these references should recommend the lawyer to you. Even if you do not get the lawyer’s references, you should trust the lawyer that you have been given the correct information. If the lawyer refuses to offer connections, do not hire them.
Well Organized Work Environment
Check out the lawyer’s desk and the staff’s work environment for signs of disorganization. If the people in the office have to go through stacks of paper to find out one form, they are not organized, and this does not reflect well their ability to handle your case successfully.
Inquire about the previous experiences of the car accident attorney. Find out if the lawyer has previously dealt with any automobile accident matters. Check the winning rate of the lawyer. If they have a successful track record of winning cases, chances are they will win your case too. Also, check how many patients have gone to court. If most cases have been settled out of court at high settlement rates, the lawyer is perfect for you. | <urn:uuid:834c80c7-2645-4180-96e6-6b3fae9b9027> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://lawyerwebcast.com/what-to-check-when-selecting-a-car-accident-attorney/ | 2022-10-03T09:13:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337404.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20221003070342-20221003100342-00679.warc.gz | en | 0.965407 | 584 | [

No matter how hard I try, I can’t get away from color. I have to restrain myself not to turn the saturation all the way up. I think I know the reason for this color hunger. I grew up in the last decades of socialism in Poland, and everywhere I turned, the obligatory color was grey, or brown, or some variation of depressing dirt. Things are much different now in my home country, but the subconscious longing for color remains in my psyche.

Some slots are known for being high volatility, while others feature smaller payouts more often. High volatility slots are popular for offering large payouts quickly. Low volatility slot machines are slower, but they offer more balanced gameplay. You should always read the payout percentage and other rules before playing a slot machine.

RIO DE JANEIRO — The tune My Update Studio and subject activities on the Rio Olympics this month will showcase elite athletic expertise and, if you look intently, creative subterfuge.
Tape, markers, elastic sleeves, and perhaps even paint will cover A few shoe emblems in an Olympic sleight of foot.
In track and discipline, the centerpiece recreation of Summer Video games, footwear is the most essential piece of gadget and serve purposes past performance: imparting advertising billboards for apparel groups and supplying financial footing for athletes. However, Some athletes no longer want the sector to look at the Trademarks on their footwear or prohibited from doing so through their sponsors if they put on competing manufacturers.
Even though United states song and discipline athletes at the Rio Games must put on uniforms bearing Nike’s familiar swoosh, a legitimate team sponsor, they’re free to wear their very own emblem of shoes, disguised or know not.
For instance, Jeremy Taiwo, a decathlete from Seattle, will put on eight pairs of footwear in his 10 activities, every with a characteristic as precise as a golf membership.
His shoe sponsor is Brooks, but the company does not make footwear designed to throw and jump events. So Taiwo additionally plans to wear footwear made through Nike, Adidas, and Asics. He needs to Cover the Logos of those competing brands, which he plans to do with tape, elastic sleeves, and cleverly shaded fabric.
“In terms of athletic performance, you have to have the right shoes so one can meet your desires,” Taiwo, 26, stated in a telephone interview earlier than traveling to Rio de Janeiro. “And ultimately, you need to do nicely so that you can get paid. in case you make it, your shoes are largely responsible for that.”

The camouflaging demonstrates the energy of the $75 billion worldwide athletic shoes enterprise, which intently video display units what athletes put on — and, with lawyers at its beck and phone, what they do now not.
Even though it is unclear what number of athletes could be disguising their footwear at the Games, the exercise is not uncommon at tune meets, with the reasons for the cover-u.S.almost as numerous because of the footwear available.
Athletes who have no shoe sponsor might not want to provide loose marketing to any employer, who prefer to sign that they’re loose agents. Taiwo called this an act of “no representation without reimbursement.”
Other athletes cover footwear because they’re transitioning from one corporation to any other and are continuing to wear their antique shoes even as new ones are perfected. Some, like Taiwo, participate in occasions for which their sponsor does no longer make footwear. A few athletes are sincerely disappointed with the tools made by way of their sponsor.
Occasionally, shoe organizations provide permission for athletes to wear another, disguised emblem. In other instances, they take umbrage, and the controversy will become public.
In an extensively stated incident in 2013, Nike withdrew an agreement offer to the Yankee record-holder inside the pole vault, Brad Walker, after Walker taped over a strap on his footwear and protected the swoosh logo.
Walker wrote on Facebook on the time that he changed into now not seeking to undermine Nike But become the use of tape to “hold collectively a shoe that shouldn’t ruin down inside 6 months.”
Nike did not say why the settlement provides turned into rescinded, handiest that Walker “did now not absorb this selection in a timely way.” Walker put his gear up on the market on eBay.
Mike Hazle, the 2011 American champion in the javelin, stated his Nike-made shoes have been too slender, causing his toenails to fall off and his toes to come to be numb. For years, he stated that he borrowed gear made by Asics and Li-Ning, a Chinese language organization, from a fellow javelin thrower. He included the one’s Emblems with tape or with slices from wristbands that bore the Nike swoosh.
It becomes by no means a problem within the little-observed event, Hazle said, till he Gained America title and a photograph of him regarded in song & discipline News. His left foot changed into raised after a throw, revealing the test-mark logo of Li-Ning on the lowest of his shoe.
Nike becomes now not thrilled and exercised an option on his settlement in 2012 to hold him from signing with any other agency, Hazle said, But provided only $10,000 and not using a risk of bonuses.
It’s far unfortunate “if someone is paying your payments and also you’re purported to put on what they provide you with, and it doesn’t work,” Hazle said from Afghanistan, wherein he’s serving in the Air Countrywide Shield. “However on the give up of the day, it’s going to compromise your overall performance, so that you’ve been given to take care of yourself.”
Nike stated it did not comment on contracts But predicted that its sponsored athletes “will always wear Nike products except there may be A few specific, mutually agreed exception.” | <urn:uuid:e72f96e8-c992-4413-8efe-1a40d593d24f> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://bloggingkits.org/olympic-cover-up-why-you-gainedt-see-some-shoe-trademarks/ | 2022-10-06T00:01:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337680.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20221005234659-20221006024659-00679.warc.gz | en | 0.958581 | 1,292 | [

Editor’s Note: Individuals interviewed here have asked to remain anonymous. El Paso News is honoring their requests. This article has been updated.
The lives of the residents of the Val Verde community, like so many others, have been disrupted due to Covid-19. But some communities’ lives have been impacted more than others. Two months ago city and county agencies made the decision to house part of El Paso’s homeless population in the Val Verde neighborhood and make the Senior Citizen Center Los Hilos de Plata Senior Center located at 4451 Delta Dr., an entry location for the homeless population. The Chalio Acosta Sports Center at 4321 Delta Dr. is also being used to house the population. Aside from the numerous problems which has resulted by this decision, two long-time neighborhood grocery stores/ meat markets (tienditas) have closed.
The Val Verde neighborhood is a historically marginalized and lower middle class neighborhood south of the Medical Center of the Americas and north of Delta Avenue. The neighborhood is north of the city’s sewage treatment center and is also in proximity of other existing shelters and the Salvation Army of El Paso County, located at 4300 E. Paisano Dr. The community has experienced its share of hardship and with the arrival of the homeless community, it will be challenged once again.
El Paso News reached out to Commissioner David Stout’s office and we were told that city and county officials made the decision to convert the closed Delta Center as a triage center for homeless persons entering the system and that the site, as well as the sport center act as as an overflow space for the Opportunity Center. We were told that the decision to use the Delta Center was made because the facility had a kitchen and the building was large enough to accommodate the population. They stated that the centers were on a bus route so the population has access to downtown El Paso, the Opportunity Center, and to banks and laundromats, as well as other places requiring transportation services.
Neither the county, nor the city met with residents before making their decision to house the population at the Delta Center, but Commissioner Stout’s office stated that in the past it has been used by displaced persons as in Hurricane Rita. In the pre-Covid era, senior citizens and the community, used the center to exercise, use the swimming pool and in the summer months they used it to escape the sweltering heat by taking advantage of the center as a cooling area.
Historically, communities of color like the Valverde neighborhood have experienced the brunt of changes to its social fabric. With Covid-19 affecting El Paso perhaps well into 2021, the situation has the possibility of becoming much worse before it gets better.
Although city agencies have stated that homeless individuals in the community are being monitored 24/7, residents have reported homeless persons have been seem roaming the streets and that many of these individuals are not wearing masks. Residents reported that the homeless persons are largely unsupervised, some of them are sleeping on the sidewalks and/or shaded areas. Residents reported that certain persons have been seen drinking and urinating in the streets. They also stated that last month, a homeless person was run over by a car.
The neighborhood formerly had two operating grocery stores, the Comanche Meat Market (Carniceria) and Sanchez Grocery and Meat Shop. The Comanche Meat Market had operated for the last 18 years. This week, it closed due to the aggressive behavior by certain homeless individuals who were entering the store and wanted the owner to sell them beer on a credit basis. To comply with social distancing, the owner at the meat market was only allowing entry into the store one person at time, but certain homeless persons were not honoring the store policies. In addition, they weren’t wearing masks. Instead of dealing with these issues, the owner closed and posted signs stating she was closing due to Covid-19 related reasons. Sanchez Grocery had operated continuously for the last 40-50 years, also closed.
The removal of these two stores have compromised resident’s ability to to purchase food and other basic necessities. Not all residents have cars to be able to drive further to purchase groceries.
This is not a anti-homeless article, but an example of the failure of community development and the lack of compassion and communication with the neighborhood and the rush of agencies using Covid-19 as an excuse to abdicate responsibility. It is also a social justice issue. We will update readers on this developing story as we obtain additional information.
For further information contact Commissioner David Stout’s (Precinct 2) Office at: 915-546-2111 or via e-mail at: [email protected] | <urn:uuid:8aa98da8-d75b-4279-bc32-ddb07ce14d66> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://elpasonews.org/2020/07/15/city-and-county-officials-move-homeless-community-to-the-val-verde-neighborhood-two-long-time-neighbor-groceries-close/ | 2022-10-06T01:44:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337680.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20221005234659-20221006024659-00679.warc.gz | en | 0.977253 | 981 | [

- Poster presentations to highlight allogeneic and autologous NKG2D-based CAR-T therapies for the treatment of advanced metastatic colorectal (mCRC) cancers
Mont-Saint-Guibert, Belgium – Celyad (Euronext Brussels and Paris, and Nasdaq: CYAD), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of CAR-T cell therapies, today announced that clinical data on the company’s pipeline of candidates will be presented at the 34th Annual Meeting of the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) being held November 6-10, 2019, in Washington, D.C.
“SITC 2019 remains an important avenue for us to provide updated results of our clinical programs in metastatic colorectal cancer, and in particular, data from the industry’s first trial investigating an ‘off-the-shelf,’ non-gene edited allogeneic CAR-T candidate for the treatment of solid tumors,” commented Dr. Frédéric Lehmann, VP of Clinical Development & Medical Affairs at Celyad. “In addition, disclosing clinical and scientific data from the SHRINK and alloSHRINK dose-escalation Phase 1 trials in parallel will allow the comparison of results obtained with an autologous CAR-T and its equivalent allogeneic version. As such, this comparison highlights our efforts to understand analytical development in CAR-T space and our ongoing mission to get this much-needed therapy to people living with this deadly cancer, for which there are few treatment options”.
Poster Details:Abstract P147:Effect of chemotherapy on cellular kinetics of NKG2D-based CAR T-cells in metastatic colorectal cancer patients.
Date & Time: November 8, 7:00 am. – 8:00 p.m.
Abstract P330:Results from the completed dose-escalation of the alloSHRINK phase I study evaluating the allogeneic NKG2D-based CAR T-cell therapy CYAD-101 in metastatic colorectal cancer patients
Date & Time: November 9, 7:00 am. – 8:30 p.m. EDT
Abstract P331:Results from the completed dose-escalation phase I SHRINK study evaluating the autologous NKG2D-based CAR T-cell therapy CYAD-01 in metastatic colorectal cancer patients
Date & Time: November 8, 7:00 am. – 8:00 p.m. EDT
Background on SHRINK and alloSHRINK Trials
SHRINK is an open-label, dose-escalation Phase 1 trial assessing the safety and activity of CYAD-01 administered concurrently with FOLFOX chemotherapy in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Patients will receive six cycles of FOLFOX (combination of 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin and oxaliplatin) chemotherapy every two weeks and three administrations of CYAD-01 every two weeks.
alloSHRINK is an open-label, dose-escalation Phase 1 trial assessing the safety and clinical activity of CYAD-101 administered concurrently with FOLFOX chemotherapy in patients with refractory mCRC. Similar to the SHRINK trial for CYAD-01, patients will receive six cycles of FOLFOX chemotherapy every two weeks and three administrations of CYAD-101 every two weeks. | <urn:uuid:18e75c72-3f8a-4532-94c7-8db4f8e4c085> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://celyad.com/2019/10/02/celyad-to-present-update-on-mcrc-clinical-program-at-the-2019-sitc-annual-meeting/ | 2022-10-07T09:51:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030338001.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20221007080917-20221007110917-00679.warc.gz | en | 0.862092 | 736 | [

I got a great question about transactions by email recently about transactions.
When should you use transactions?
From what I have read online the answer is whenever you can, but I haven’t found a good why answer.
I understand that you should be using them when you want a set of events to succeed or fail. But what if you just have a single statement that doesn’t depend on other statements - why should you use transactions?
We have experienced some errors when we used them and so I was wondering what merits does it have that make it worth the code maintenance, especially since SQL Server implicitly creates transactions.
Part of why this is extra confusing is that there are three types of transactions. First up, let’s clarify a few terms.
Explicit vs. Implicit vs. Autocommit Transactions
1. Explicit transactions
This is the type of transaction where you explicitly start the transaction with BEGIN TRAN or BEGIN TRANSACTION, and later complete the work with either a COMMIT statement or undo it with a ROLLBACK statement.
As our questioner writes, if you have multiple statements that should either succeed or fail as an individual unit, BEGIN TRAN allows you to bundle them together.
2. Implicit transactions
Implicit transactions are a bit weird, and I typically only run into them when applications have been written for a different relational database and then ported to SQL Server.
To use implicit transactions, you run the statement: SET IMPLICIT_TRANSACTIONS ON;
This puts you in a mode where running a statement which accesses a table implies that you ran BEGIN TRAN. You must explicitly COMMIT or ROLL BACK when you’re done with a unit of work, whether it’s one or more statements.
I find implicit transactions confusing, and I don’t use it.
3. Autocommit transactions
If you do not enable implicit transactions, and you don’t start an explicit transaction, you are in the default “autocommit” mode.
This mode means that individual statements are automatically committed or rolled back as whole units. You can’t end up in a place where only half your statement is committed.
Our question is really about whether there are unseen problems with this default mode of autocommit for single-statement units of work.
So, to rephrase the question…
Are there times when we should use an explicit transaction for single statements, instead of relying on autocommit?
Generally, you’re fine staying in the default autocommit mode for singleton statements that are entirely their own unit of work.
I’ve fun into a few instances where creating a larger unit of work for modifications helped performance, however! Example: are you doing a lot of tiny modifications?
Sometimes you get better performance bundling multiple statements into a transaction
Way back when I was a Junior DBA, there was a project to modify a lot of data in our OLTP database. We had a big change coming up which required a lot of new data to be present, and some data to be modified for customers.
We couldn’t have much downtime for the change, so a plan was hatched to get the data all set up in production while the system was live, then to cut over to the new feature as the actual change. This was tested out in staging, and everything was great, but slow.
The staging environment was generally slow, so that didn’t mean much by itself.
But by the time we got to deploy the change to production, it was slow as well. Luckily, we had a plan to make it faster.
- Indexes had been deployed to help make the modifications as fast as possible
- The scripts to make the data changes were set up to be able to be safely stopped at any time and restarted, in case of blocking problems or any concern about performance
- The scripts had a @BatchSize parameter, which allowed the DBAs to determine how many modification statements were run inside a single transaction
- The scripts had a @WaitDuration parameter, which allowed the DBAs to determine how many milliseconds to wait between batches
Each modification statement was a single unit of work, but the script ran faster when multiple modification statements were committed at once! @BatchSize = 1 was not awesome, it was very slow.
This is because lots of tiny little commits can put a lot of pressure on your transaction log, causing a bottleneck
It’s like wanting to read someone a long story, but making a phone call for every single word.
If the person is very busy and can’t talk to only you for a whole hour, to the exclusion of everyone else, then you want to figure out how long they can spare for a call, and how many words you can fit into a single call.
Explicit and autocommit transactions show up differently in some performance counters
I don’t think this is a reason to use explicit transactions, it’s just something to be aware of.
The basics are this:
- Modifications in autocommit mode and select statements in explicit transactions both show up under Transactions/sec and Batch Requests/sec
- Select statements in autocommit mode do not show up under the Transactions/sec counter, but they DO show up under Batch Requests/sec
You can watch a demo of it on my post here.
Generally speaking, I think this is a reason to use the Batch requests/sec counter over Transactions/sec (not a reason to go adding transactions to all your singleton select statements).
What about marked transactions?
The idea behind marked transactions sounds pretty cool: you can mark a transaction as a recovery point.
Let’s say I’m releasing a big change that touches multiple databases. I could use marked transactions to allow me to restore those databases all to the mark, so that I could perhaps restore them to right before the change was deployed, or right after it was complete (depending on which I used).
The reason I’m not crazy about using these “just in case,” or for very frequent use, is that there some overhead:
- They use space in your transaction logs in each database they touch
- They use space in msdb, and if you use a ton of these, you may need to do some maintenance there
- There is some complexity around using this with multiple instances (details here)
I’m not against marked transactions if they meet a real need and the team has the time to monitor their overhead. For large releases that touch multiple databases, SAN snapshots are often more convenient (although obviously they are not tied to a transaction). | <urn:uuid:604ad8de-8124-412e-9323-1c1bcdae77b7> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://littlekendra.com/2018/02/22/when-should-i-use-explicit-transactions-for-single-statements/ | 2022-09-25T15:32:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030334579.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20220925132046-20220925162046-00079.warc.gz | en | 0.940638 | 1,408 | [

I’m not one to shy away from a fully stocked bar cart. I mean check out my growing cocktail section. But this time around I thought it would be fun to take those items typically found on the bar cart and create a Cinco de Mayo chips and salsa bar cart. Especially perfect since the holiday falls on a Thursday…I’m thinking this is just the kind of bar cart y’all can get your boss to sign off on 😉
Unless you have cooling misters and a plethora of mosquito repellent you most likely won’t find me outside in the summer evenings here in Texas unless I’m neck-deep in the pool. But Spring? Spring is my friend. Those April showers keep the temps down to a bearable warmth and the mosquitos haven’t multiplied by the thousands quite yet (granted if there is even one it will find me). So, since we are a family that enjoys the outdoors, you will find us outside quite a bit this time of year. And that calls for a little date night by the pool!
Margarita glasses, corn on the cob napkins, tequila place cards? Sounds like a fun Cinco de Mayo table setting to me! 🙂 In all honesty I think I’m just trying to make up for years of missed Cinco de Mayo celebrations. So many margarita filled days flew by without me – not cool. This year I am prepared! With my Mexican Street Corn and this fun table setting it’s bound to be a festive day that includes one heck of a siesta.
Brunch is definitely different with a kiddo. Those days of sleeping in until 11am, stumbling to our favorite brunch spot and indulging in bottomless mimosas are long gone. These days it’s more like rise and shine at 6:30, down our coffee, scarf some food down (I suggest Southwestern Breakfast Muffins :)) and then have our friends over to the house to indulge in the second breakfast of the day before putting the little one down for her nap so I can enjoy a couple mimosas. Ya…it’s definitely different but I gotta tell ya…I love my new style of brunching. Partly because I love being able to eat breakfast twice in one day but mostly because it allows me to stick to my 8pm bedtime…I am not ashamed.
So you got invited to a diaper shower huh? If you’re not a female over the age of 25 you probably don’t know what the heck a diaper shower is. And that’s ok! My husband finally just kept calling it, “that thing you’re going to.” So let me explain. Not to make you feel stupid but diaper showers are pretty much exactly what they sound like; you shower a person with diapers. The reason it’s not a baby shower is most likely because someone else is already throwing one of those for the mom-to-be so they’re diversifying or it’s not their first child and have the baby necessities. So, there goes the element of surprise with, “what could this gift be!?” If we can’t have that, why not have, “OMG! How cute!” Yes, that can be the reaction with diapers and wipes, I assure you 🙂
You know those celebs that sign up to do bikini photo shoots like three months after having a baby as “motivation” to get back in shape? And we all think they’re crazy? I mean they are…let’s all be honest. Well, I kind of had a moment like that when planning a kids Christmas cookie decorating party this year. I had had it in my head for a while and thought, “oh it can’t be that hard!” And then in looking at the dates was like, “ya! Let’s do it super early in December like right after Thanksgiving.” And then it hits me that that means the whole house would also need to be done and decorated before I even started on party prep – mind you we would be gone until the Sunday after Thanksgiving on a two day road trip with a 14 month old and a dog…motivation right? 🙂 But this adorable party was SO WORTH IT! And truly, the party prep was nothing. Especially when you blast Christmas tunes the whole time.
Get those leftovers out of my house!! Ok, maybe I’ll keep a couple of cookies and some stuffing 🙂 But seriously, we all know Thanksgiving is even better the second day around – a roll, some turkey, top it with some stuffing and a dab of cranberry? Forgeddaboutit. But if you’re having the typical American Thanksgiving, there will be enough food to feed five times the amount of people you actually have…that just means you’ve done Thanksgiving right in my book…NO SHAME. So on top of everything else you’re doing to host (or attend!!), snag some Dollar Tree bags, an armload of Chinese take out boxes from Michaels or drop down the tupperware aisle at Target and make these unforgettable Thanksgiving leftover bags to entice those guests (and yourself) that you CAN fit just ONE MORE piece of pie in there.
I’m a sucker for a good tablescape. They are so dang fun to create and there’s so many ways to make them special and unique. And you don’t have to be hosting a dinner party to have one! Creating a tablescape is an easy and inexpensive way to add a festive flair to your home. I love how mine came together this year for our Friendsgiving and am still enjoying those gorgeous colors now!
“I get by with a little help from my friends.” This has definitely been my theme song this year. I don’t know about you, but for my husband and I, our friends become our family, or “framily.” It’s taken more effort to keep up with them all once our little girl came along but opportunities like Friendsgiving are a perfect way to get everyone together for great food, good wine and some nice hearty belly laughs. Here’s some of the activities that made our first Friendsgiving a success.
It’s November!!! My all time favorite month. It’s brisk outside, you’re hyped up on candy from Halloween, you’ve finally nailed the perfect pumpkin cookie recipe (it only took me four tries) and the cuddly sweaters and slipper socks are coming out. What’s not to love? Oh ya, the huge hit your bank account is about to take because of the travel, gifts and the Christmas decorations that are on sale and you just can’t help yourself. But I was determined to get some fall spirit in this house and my husband was determined to keep me away from Michaels for a few weeks…the addiction is real y’all. We compromised…I only went once 🙂 So how do you get some fall in your house without breaking the bank? | <urn:uuid:98848cf2-93d5-48fa-8d76-a41c61365ccc> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://funyumandfrills.com/tag/colorful/ | 2022-09-28T05:36:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335124.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20220928051515-20220928081515-00079.warc.gz | en | 0.944157 | 1,500 | [

The differences between these three domain name extensions is minimal from the impacts on SEO, search rankings, and indexing. The domain name .info is a generic top-level domain in the domain name system. The .info domains are sort of a limited purpose domain type and were intended to be used strictly for informational purposes.
The .info domain appears to be a bit of an enigma. In doing keyword and site research, multiple .info domains have showed up in the top 10 of Google so it definitely can rank well as an extension. | <urn:uuid:53b448e4-2bd2-4b61-8c39-ec279d3aa49c> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.affilorama.com/forum/market-research/info-domains-t12868.html | 2022-09-28T07:23:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335124.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20220928051515-20220928081515-00079.warc.gz | en | 0.891382 | 139 | [

The following article is an excerpt from "A Study of the Teachings of Jesus Christ"
by Joseph F. Harwood.
The book may be downloaded in PDF format by clicking on the “Download” button below.
In Matthew 24-25, Jesus teaches on the end times in what is known as the Olivet Discourse. Mark records his version of the Olivet Discourse in Mark 13. Luke records his version in Luke 21.
Matthew 24 begins with Jesus walking away from the temple in Jerusalem toward the Mount of Olives. He had just issued a scathing rebuke to the teachers of the law (scribes) and the Pharisees, as we can see from Matthew 23. At this point His disciples came up to Him to call His attention to the temple and its buildings.
Jesus responded to them saying: “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, not one stone here will be left upon another, which will not be torn down.” (Matthew 24:2). Jesus here prophesied about the destruction of the temple, which did in fact occur around 40 years later in 70 A.D when the Roman army destroyed Jerusalem and the temple buildings.
In response to His prediction, some of His disciples came to him privately a short time later as He was sitting on the Mount of Olives with basically two questions: “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” (Matthew 24:3).
Apparently, the disciples believed that an event as dramatic as the destruction of the temple must surely mean that Jesus’ coming and the end of all things would follow shortly thereafter. Jesus knew that His disciples were associating both events as occurring at around the same time, and He corrected their misconception in His answer to their questions, which began in verse 4 with the words, “See to it that no one misleads you.”
In the narrative that follows, Jesus gives His answer to the disciples’ questions. However, His answer to what is essentially two questions is not clearly delineated but interwoven together in one narrative.
In verses 5-14 Jesus discusses the events that must take place before the end comes. These events are the signs of His coming about which the disciples asked in verse 3. These signs included: many who would come in His name claiming to be Christ, wars and rumors of wars, famines, and earthquakes. Jesus also said that His people would be persecuted and put to death, and that many who claimed to be Christians would turn away from the faith. False prophets would also appear and deceive many people. He also said that because of the increase of wickedness at that time, the love of many would grow cold, but those who stood firm in their faith to the end would be saved. In verse 14, He said that the gospel of the kingdom would be preached throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end would come.
In verses 15-22, Jesus addresses the destruction of the temple about which His disciples asked, but He does not answer their question as to when this would occur. Beginning in verse 15, we read: “Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains.” (Matthew 24:15-16).
The reference to the “abomination of desolation…standing in the holy place” which Jesus spoke about can be found in Daniel 9:27, 11:31, and 12:11. Some say that the first fulfillment of this prophecy was in 168 B.C. when Antiochus Epiphanes erected an altar to the pagan god Zeus on the sacred altar in the temple of Jerusalem. Jesus’ reference to a similar event occurring again as a sign of the imminent destruction of the temple in Jerusalem indicates that there was to be yet another fulfillment of Daniel’s prophesy. From reading Paul’s teaching in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4, we can assume that there will also be a third fulfillment of Daniel’s prophecy which will occur in the end times before Jesus’ second coming.
In verse 21, Jesus spoke of the “great tribulation” that would occur around the time the temple was destroyed, and then the narrative turns again to discussion of the signs of the end times. From this apparently seamless integration of these two events (the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem, and Jesus coming and the end of the age), we could interpret the destruction of Jerusalem and the great tribulation of that time as being a symbolic figure and type of the destruction of the world which will occur at Jesus’ coming and the great tribulation that will occur in those times.
Beginning in verse 23, Jesus’ reveals more of the signs that will precede His coming. He warns of false Christs and false prophets that will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect, if that were possible. Then beginning in verse 29 we read:
“But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory. And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.” (Matthew 24:29-31).
Regarding the signs that will precede His coming and the end of the age, Jesus told His disciples to learn a lesson from the fig tree: when its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, then summer is near. In the same way, when all these signs manifest themselves, then His coming is near. (Verses 32-33).
Beginning in verse 34 we read: “Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.” (Matthew 24:34-35).
There has been much discussion over the centuries about the meaning of the Greek word that is translated as “generation” in verse 34. The word from the original Greek text is the word “genea”, which can refer to a generation, or the group of people alive during a certain span of time of about 30-40 years. It can also refer to the successive members of a particular genealogy or race. It could also refer to a group of people who are very much like each other in their character and manner of living. From the context of Matthew 24, we can assume that the word that is translated as “generation” in verse 34 refers either to the Jewish race or to all believers collectively, those who are the “chosen race”. (Consider 1 Peter 2:9).
As the narrative continues in verse 36, Jesus said that no one knows the day or the hour of His coming. The angels in Heaven did not know, nor did He know, but only the Father knows. Some things in the Bible are difficult to understand, if not out of reach for men. God revealing Himself to men in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, is one example. When we consider the fact the Jesus Himself is God (John 1:1, 14) manifested to man in human form, we may struggle with the fact that being God, He did not know when He would return.
What we can know from the Scriptures is that Jesus “had to be made like His brethren in all things, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.” (Hebrews 2:17). Being like His brethren in every way during His time on the earth, He too had to walk by faith, not knowing all things as His Father knew, but walking in obedience and trusting God, as we also are called to do as believers, “for we walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7).
We previously mentioned the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem as being a type or figure of the destruction of the world that would occur at Jesus’ second coming. Jesus uses another type and figure of things that will happen at His coming when He referenced the destruction of the world in Noah’s time, as we read beginning in verse 37:
“For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be.” (Matthew 24:37-39).
As the narrative continues in verse 40, Jesus again spoke of the time when the angels would gather His elect from the four winds (verse 31), when He said:
“Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left.
Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming. But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.” (Matthew 24:40-44, emphasis added).
As Jesus is nearing the end of His teaching in Matthew 24, He emphasizes that the day of His coming will be at a time when we are not expecting it, like a thief who comes unexpectedly in the night. Therefore, He exhorted us to “be on the alert”, to watch and “be ready”.
Peter also taught about the day of the Lord coming unexpectedly, like a thief. Peter wrote: “But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.” (2 Peter 3:10). Knowing that this day is coming, Peter exhorted us to live holy and godly lives as we wait for Jesus’ return (2 Peter 3:11-14).
As He concludes His teaching in Matthew 24, Jesus contrasts two different groups of people who are symbolized by two different servants, as we see from verses 45-51. The faithful and wise servant will heed the words of his Master. This servant symbolizes all those who have been called to faith in Christ and look for His appearing. These will be found watching for their Master’s return, obediently going about the tasks that have been assigned for them.
In contrast to the faithful and wise servant, the wicked servant will not heed the Master’s words. This servant symbolizes all those who are unregenerate. These will not be found to be faithfully watching for their Master’s return, but when He comes unexpectedly, as He will, they will be found to be living a life characterized by sinful behavior.
In conclusion, as we consider Jesus’ teaching on the end times given to us in the Olivet Discourse, our focus should be on what we are to do in response to the fact that He will, at some point in time unknown to any of us, come back to gather His elect from the four winds and from one end of the heavens to the other.
