Sułków  (), is a village in southern Poland, in Opole Voivodeship, Głubczyce County, Gmina Baborów.

The name of the village comes from the Old Polish male name Sulisław. The oldest known mention of the village dates back to 1340, when it was purchased by Euphemia of Racibórz, local Polish princess of the Piast dynasty. Between 1871 and 1945 it was part of Germany, however, in the late 19th century the local population was entirely Polish and predominantly Catholic. In 1936 the German administration changed the name to Zinnatal to erase traces of Polish origin. The original Polish name was restored after the village became again part of Poland after the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II in 1945.

Notable people
 Feliks Steuer (1889–1950), Polish linguist, born in the village

« A Surprise Pairing at Dreyer & Reinbold
Things Have Changed Over a Dozen Years »
Here in the Oilpressure household, we have reached that point in the year, where I will push away from the keyboard for a couple of weeks. I've always enjoyed the Christmas season my entire life, partly because it offers a break from reality – whether that be school, work or blogging – and gives me a time to reflect on all of the good Christmases I had growing up, and then getting to watch my kids make their own memories.
This time of year also gives us a chance to look back on the current calendar year. Since this will be my last post of 2021, I'll take a few paragraphs to look at the high and low points of the 2021 IndyCar season.
The season began much like the 2020 season – with a COVID-relayed postponement. St. Petersburg was moved to late April and Barber was made the season-opener, after it was moved back one week. We thought we had witnessed a fluke at Barber, when Alex Palou won his first career IndyCar race in his first outing with Chip Ganassi Racing. Even after that win, I don't think many people were picking Palou to win the championship.
The Month of May started with the double-header at Texas, with Scott Dixon winning the first race. Colton Herta had just won the re-scheduled race at St. Petersburg and most people figured the season would be a battle between Scott Dixon and Colton Herta. Dixon would ultimately go winless the rest of the season and finish fourth in the championship. Pato O'Ward won Race Two, signaling that 2021 would be the year for youth to be served.
In the GMR Grand Prix, Rinus VeeKay continued the youth movement by being the fifth winner in five races, and the fourth winner under the age of 24 to win a race. The youth movement came to a screeching halt momentarily, when 46 year-old Helio Castroneves defied time and won his historic fourth Indianapolis 500, to become only the fourth member of that very exclusive club. Alex Palou gave him a run for his money, finishing a close second and leaving Indianapolis as the points leader.
Marcus Ericsson became the fourth driver in 2021 to earn his first-ever IndyCar victory at Belle Isle, while Pato O'Ward became the first driver to win multiple races for the season in Race Two at Belle Isle. Palou benefited greatly from Josef Newgarden's misfortune at Road America to take the lead with a couple of laps to go, take the race win.
Josef Newgarden finally broke through for his first race win of the season at Mid-Ohio, after suffering heartbreak in the last two races. After a five-weekend break, many thought Newgarden's momentum would carry over to his hometown race in Nashville. It didn't. Newgarden was lucky to finish tenth in a crash-filled race on the tight streets of Music City. Marcus Ericsson came away with his second win of the season at Nashville.
The series returned to the grounds of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway the next weekend, but ths time in the role of being an almost uninvited guest. As soon as we arrived, it became perfectly clear that this was a NASCAR weekend that had an IndyCar race in a support role. Instead of occupying the familiar Gasoline Alley garages, IndyCar was relegated to operating under tents and tarps in the museum parking lot. Will Power finally won his first race of the season as Team Penske won only their second.
One week later, the series traveled a couple of hours west to Gateway, just across the river from St. Louis. Newgarden won his second race of the season and made everyone wonder if he was going to steal the championship from the two young pups at the top – Palou and O'Ward.
When Palou won his third race of the season at Portland, with Newgarden finishing fifth and O'Ward finishing fourteenth – it looked as if Palou would end up winning it all in only his second season. It became even more apparent when Palou collected second-place points at Laguna Seca, finishing behind race-winner Colton Herta as Newgarden finished seventh and O'Ward finished fifth.
Heading into the season-finale at Long Beach, all of the usual scenarios of who had to finish where to win all pointed to a likely Palou championship at the end of the day. It was all but cemented when O'Ward went out early and finished twenty-seventh. Newgarden gave it his best shot by finishing second to Colton Herta, who won his second race in as many weeks. Palou took care of business by finishing fourth and wrapping up the championship in a season that ended far from where most people thought it would in April.
Will the youth movement carry over to 2022, or will drivers like Josef Newgarden, Scott Dixon, Will Power, Simon Pagenaud, Alexander Rossi and Romain Grosjean have more of a say-so in the 2022 championship than they did this past season?
Sadly, barely more than six months after Helio Castroneves became the fourth member of the four-time winners club – the group suffered its first loss when Al Unser succumbed to a seventeen-year battle with cancer earlier this month. We also lost his colorful brother, Bobby Unser in May. Another driver we lost in May was 1995 Indianapolis 500 starter and four-year CART veteran André Ribeiro.
We also lost two icons who never drove in IndyCar, but made huge marks in the sport. Broadcaster Bob Jenkins passed away in early August, after having been diagnosed with brain cancer just a few months earlier. Barely more than two weeks later, legendary journalist Robin Miller lost his four-year cancer battle. Just this past Monday, we also learned that longtime Honda Racing Communications Manager, TE McHale, passed away. You may not be as quick to recognize McHale's name as some of the others, but to many in the IndyCar paddock – he was as big as anyone in the sport.
Some have lamented what a terrible year this was. On a personal note, 2021 was a very good year for Susan and me. The year started off with Susan completing her last round of chemo on January 8; as she continued her fight against the pancreatic cancer she was diagnosed with the previous July 7. We traveled in a snowstorm to the University of Louisville for a two-week stay as Susan underwent surgery on Feb 4. The surgery was a success as we got good news regarding her health all through the year (except for her COVID diagnosis in March). She completed all oral chemo and six weeks of radiation treatments in June and she has undergone clear scans twice since then – the most recent being just last month.
Only 8% of those diagnosed with pancreatic cancer survive beyond five years, and the majority of those patients die within three months of diagnosis. She's not out of the woods yet; but her hair, her weight and her strength have all come back – and all indications are very positive so far.
Quite honestly, we both assumed that last Christmas would be her last. To have her not only still here, but thriving, is nothing short of a miracle – which is the exact word her oncologist has used, although her surgeon doesn't seem surprised at all. We understand how blessed we are, and we are hopeful and terrified at the same time as we look ahead to next year.
So I will close with our most recent photo, our Christmas Card, if you will – from a NASCAR event, of all things. NASCAR held its Championship Banquet here in Nashville on Dec 2, and we were fortunate enough to be invited by a good friend (who will remain nameless). As we were leaving, we did a selfie on the red carpet.
This was a nice offseason diversion that made me anxious for more IndyCar races for us both to attend together in 2022.
Susan and I want to wish everyone here a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and prosperous New Year! We hope that our 2022 will be as good for you as 2021 was for us.
Susan and George Phillips
Please Note: As mentioned above, I will be taking time away from here for the Christmas break. I will return on Wed Jan 5. Enjoy the holidays, everyone – GP

Channel Control: Stars Walk Red Carpet for New 'Dallas'
Eric Shirey
The new series premieres Wednesday, June 13 on TNT. It revolves around the continuing family infighting of the Ewings. However this time around, J.R. (Larry Hagman), Bobby (Patrick Duffy), and Sue Ellen (Linda Gray) are the referees to the scheming battles between their sons John Ross (Josh Henderson) and Christopher (Jesse Metcalfe). Their significant others are caught in the crossfire and no doubt add to the trouble the dysfunctional family makes for themselves.
They say everything's bigger in Texas and that goes for red carpet events as well. The Winspear Opera House in downtown Dallas played host to a special star-studded VIP sneak preview screening of the first two episodes of the new show. Major press outlets including Fox and even Warner Bros. themselves packed the red carpet walk as Larry Hagman, Patrick Duffy, Linda Gray, Brenda Strong, Jordana Brewster, Jesse Metcalfe, Josh Henderson, and Julie Gonzalo all took turns greeting them and answering questions. Executive producer Cynthia Cidre was also in attendance as well as other cast and crew.
The celebrities showed up in their luxury shuttle buses and limos and were greeted by hundreds of fans. People lined up on both sides of the red carpet as others sat on blankets enjoying a live band. A monolithic "Dallas" promotional "wall" was erected in the middle of the opera house's lawn. As they began arriving, the fans stuck out their memorabilia from the television show to get autographs and asked to snap a picture with their favorite actors.
You could immediately tell that each of the veteran actors from the original show were incredibly excited to be back in the roles that made them famous.
Patrick Duffy shared where his character Bobby Ewing is at mentally 14 years after the last TV-movie.
"He's the patriarch of the Ewing family now. Think back to the original "Dallas." (Remember) Jim Davis and Barbara Bel Geddes sitting at the table together and that's me. I am now the combination of both of those. That's my role. Cynthia wrote me as that moral compass for the show. I'm the go-to arbitrator, peacemaker, and the sounding board. He still has the passion and everything, but he also has patience," Duffy said.
Linda Gray shined a little light on what we can expect out of her as an older Sue Ellen Ewing.
"She's divorced from J.R. Ewing. She's richer than J.R. Ewing (smiling). She still has some guilt about the way she raised her son. There's some motherly guilt. She's a very powerful, creative, wealthy woman living very well in Dallas, TX," Gray commented.
Larry Hagman was very quick to respond to the question of what's changed about J.R. Ewing in the past 14 years.
"There's not a damn thing different about him. You can't change your spots at that age," Hagman proclaimed.
The new members of the cast were grateful to be given the chance to become a part of such an iconic legacy like "Dallas." Each one was very vocal about how fortunate they are to be a part of such a legendary revival.
"This intertwines the old generation and the new generation. I think it's really exciting to see how much they've screwed up their kids and how they're interacting," Jordana Brewster (Elena Ramos) remarked.
"It's humbling and an honor. Everyone has been so lovely. Patrick, Linda, and Larry have been so welcoming. They want to make this show as successful as the original one," proclaimed Julie Gonzalo (Rebecca Sutter).
"It's exciting (and) a pure joy for me," stated Jesse Metcalfe (Christopher Ewing).
"It's a ton of fun. (It was) a little intimidating and nerve-wracking. I knew that John Ross really needed to be on his toes and try to stay a step ahead of everyone, whether it was Sue Ellen, J.R., Bobby, or Christopher. I'm just having a blast," said Josh Henderson (John Ross Ewing III).
Each actor did their very best to get to as many fans as they could and sign autographs, take pictures, and chat with them. Security and event organizers had to physically usher some of them into the building and away from enthusiasts to get them to the advance screening on time. That's not surprising, since Texas is also known as a friendly state. Ironically, I don't think we'll be seeing much friendliness in the Lone Star State on Wednesday nights when "Dallas" airs.

It was the villages of Binn, Ernen and Grengiols that started the project of the Binntal Nature Park in 2002. Nine years later and extended by the villages of Bister, Blitzingen and Niederwald, the Nature Park got the official label of «Regional Nature Park of National Importance». The Binntal Nature Park is thus the first regional nature park in the entire Canton of Valais.
Binntal is known as «the valley of hidden treasures» and for its wealth of mineral resources. Flora and fauna are utterly diverse, too. The villages and hamlets with their sun-kissed houses are in such a well-preserved condition that they have been recognised as townscapes of national and regional importance. They are located in a sound cultural landscape, which has always been treasured with a lot of effort and love.
What is a Regional Nature Park?
According to the Swiss Nature and Cultural Heritage Protection (schweizerisches Natur- und Heimatschutzgesetz NHG) the Binntal Nature Park is a «Regional Nature Park of National Importance». Regional Nature Parks connect protection and upkeep of valuable habitats and extraordinarily beautiful landscapes with economic development. Agriculture, tourism and industry can benefit from these scenic advantages but at the same time should treat them with care. The aim is to have a harmonious balance between preservation and development. The residents of the park regulate the direction of the development.
They are thus actively involved in the process. The parks help to ensure the economic, social and cultural autonomy of the villages and regions in the future. The aims of the Regional Nature Parks are:
Quality preservation and appreciation of nature and landscape
Strengthening of sustainably operated economy
Sensitisation and environmental education
Management, communication and spatial protection
Swiss Parks Network
The small wonders of the world in the Swiss Parks
A label for Swiss Parks
Besides the labelling of products like «AOC» or «Bio», the labelling of regions has become more and more important. Regions like Binntal hope to gain new economic impulses from the label «Regional Nature Park». Hence, the domestic resource wood, for instance, shall regain a higher significance and be processed and used in the area.
In May 2005 the sponsors of the parks and park projects of national significance have united and formed the «Network of Swiss Parks». Their aim is to achieve a cohesive appearance thanks to the national label «Swiss Parks», coordinated marketing and advertising campaigns and also the national and international transfer of knowledge amongst parks and park projects.

Obamacare collides with religious freedom
Opinion // Open Forum

For my order of Catholic Sisters, the Carmelites, Holy Week is usually a time for quiet prayer, fasting and reflection. But this year I will be flying across the country to Washington to stand in front of the U.S. Supreme Court in support of the Little Sisters of the Poor, whose lawyers at the Becket Fund will be fighting for them before the court.
For three years, the government has been threatening the Little Sisters with crushing fines unless they betray their beliefs to fit the desires of government agencies. We cannot stand on the sidelines. If we do, what will happen to the rest of us when we try to live according to our conscience?
I have a special affinity with the Little Sisters, who were founded, like the Carmelites, by a strong and courageous woman who felt called to serve the poor and elderly. The Little Sisters were founded in France, my own order was founded in Mexico, but both have survived many trials. Until now, however, our great country welcomed both of our orders and has allowed us to serve others according to our faith.
We now face, however, a government regulation — the Health and Human Services mandate of the Affordable Care Act — that would require many religious ministries to change health care plans to include services that violate our faith.
But while the government is trying to force the Little Sisters to provide these services, it has also already exempted a third of corporate health care plans, its own plan for military families, and its health plan for the disabled.
Those exemptions cover about 100 million people, and they allow big businesses to avoid the mandate for reasons of cost and convenience. That shows us very clearly that the government does not need to force all employers to comply.
But these exemptions also show us the availability of alternatives. The tens of millions of people not covered by this mandate are people who, the government agrees, can still get these services other ways.
The government likewise could easily accommodate the Little Sisters' ability to live according to their faith, but instead it has called the Little Sisters "divisive" simply for asking the government to respect their religious freedom. Worse, it has publicly belittled the Little Sisters' faith, saying in its brief that the Sisters are "fighting an invisible dragon" that they can "vanquish with their own pen" by signing their health plan over to the government.
In particular, the government's lawyers say that the Little Sisters' conscience should be clear — even if their health plan is used to distribute the Ella pill that can end the life of a human embryo several days after conception — because the taxpayers will cover the cost. Of course this has never been about money for the Little Sisters.
It is about whether they allow their own health plan to be used in a way that violates their Catholic faith.

NFT (, ), также уника́льный то́кен — вид криптографических токенов, каждый экземпляр которых уникален (специфичен) и не может быть использован для обмена или замещён другим аналогичным токеном, хотя обычно токены взаимозаменяемы по своей природе.

Невзаимозаменяемый токен представляет собой криптографический сертификат цифрового объекта с возможностью передавать сертификат через механизм, применяемый в криптовалютах. Сам по себе токен не является подтверждением права на владение цифровым активом в контексте законодательства об авторском праве. NFT не препятствует копированию объекта, он только закрепляет за владельцем «цифровую фишку», созданную на основе одного из экземпляров цифрового артефакта. Также нет препятствий для формирования нескольких разных токенов для одного и того же файла. Но если участники соглашаются, что NFT может формировать только реальный владелец и дальнейшая передача NFT происходит только в связи с передачей соответствующих прав на исходный цифровой объект, тогда NFT может выполнять роль маркера, указывающего текущего владельца объекта.

NFT подвергаются критике из-за высоких затрат на электроэнергию и большого выброса диоксида углерода в процессе проверки транзакций, а также из-за использования NFT мошенниками. Под сомнение ставится и полезность установки права собственности на зачастую нелегальном нерегулируемом рынке.

История
Смарт-контракты NFT на блокчейне Ethereum были созданы в 2017 году.

В 2021 году впервые в мире материальное произведение искусства (картина Бэнкси «Morons») превращено в цифровой актив — создан невзаимозаменяемый токен, а оригинальный материальный экземпляр произведения был уничтожен (сожжён). Примечательно, что сама картина является авторской сатирой на аукцион картин, которые этого не заслуживают.

Ранняя история (2012—2017)
В 2013—2014 годах начались эксперименты с NFT на скриптовом языке блокчейна Bitcoin (проекты Colored Coins и Counterparty).

В октябре 2015 года был запущен первый полноценный NFT-проект Etheria, который был продемонстрирован вживую на DEVCON 1, первой конференции разработчиков Ethereum в Лондоне, Великобритания, всего через три месяца после запуска самого блокчейна Ethereum. Большинство из 457 покупаемых и продаваемых шестиугольных плиток Etheria не продавались более 5 лет до 13 марта 2021 года, когда возобновление интереса к NFT спровоцировало ажиотаж покупателей. В течение 24 часов все плитки текущей и предыдущей версий, каждая из которых жестко закодированы в 1 ETH (0,43 цента на момент запуска), были проданы на общую сумму 1,4 миллиона долларов.

В ноябре 2016 года был запущен первый NFT-проект, который хранит изображения непосредственно в блокчейне, PixelMap. Вдохновленный The Million Dollar Homepage, PixelMap был заново открыт в августе 2021 года, продав первые 3000 плиток за 3,3 миллиона долларов.

Рост популярности (2017—2021)
В 2017 году блокчейн Ethereum начал набирать популярность по сравнению с платформами токенов, основанными на биткойнах, в основном из-за того, что создание и хранение токенов было встроено в его блокчейн; это устранило необходимость в сторонних платформах, таких как Counterparty. Кроме того, компания ввела термин «невзаимозаменяемый токен». Также в 2017 году американская студия Larva Labs выпустила CryptoPunks, проект по торговле уникальными мультяшными персонажами на блокчейне Ethereum.

В 2018 году Decentraland, виртуальный мир, основанный на блокчейне, привлек 26 миллионов долларов на первичном размещении монет, а по состоянию на сентябрь 2018 года его внутренняя экономика составляла 20 миллионов долларов.

Рынок NFT пережил быстрый рост в течение 2020 года, его стоимость утроилась до 250 миллионов долларов. За первые три месяца 2021 года на NFT было потрачено более 200 миллионов долларов.

Падение (2022)
В мае 2022 года рынок NFT начал рушиться. Ежедневные продажи токенов NFT снизились на 92 % по сравнению с сентябрем 2021 года, а количество активных кошельков на рынке NFT упало на 88 % по сравнению с периодом наибольшего спроса в ноябре 2021 года.

Применение
Невзаимозаменяемые токены используются на нескольких платформах для подтверждения факта владения цифровыми активами и права их использования. Чаще всего речь идёт о цифровых предметах, таких как экземпляры произведений компьютерного искусства, коллекционные цифровые предметы, онлайн-игры.

Технология невзаимозаменяемых токенов не подразумевает проверки авторских прав при создании токена, поэтому участились случаи, когда авторы рисунков обнаруживают, что их работы использовались посторонними лицами для выпуска токенов без их ведома и разрешения. Площадки для торговли невзаимозаменяемыми токенами заявляют о борьбе с воровством цифровых активов, но не могут решить проблему полностью. Онлайн-галерея DeviantArt оповещает пользователей, если их изображения используются в каком-либо невзаимозаменяемом токене.

Жоржи Столфи сравнивает невзаимозаменяемые токены с : «все понимают, что реестр предлагает только мнимое владение, и не даёт реального права владения звездой». Американский куратор и историк искусства Тина Риверс Райан, специализирующаяся на цифровых работах, заявила, что художественные музеи не убеждены в том, что NFT представляют собой «длительную культурную значимость». Райан сравнила NFT с модой на сетевое искусство до появления пузыря доткомов.

Цифровое искусство

Цифровое искусство является распространенным случаем использования NFT. Полностью цифровое искусство (только в форме цифрового файла без иного физического носителя) стало одним из первых вариантов использования уникальных токенов. В феврале 2021 года работа американского цифрового художника Майка Винкельмана (известного под псевдонимом Beeple) «Каждый день. Первые 5000 дней» стала первым произведением цифрового искусства, выставленным на аукционе Кристис. Несколькими днями ранее GIF-анимация Nyan Cat была продана на интернет-аукционе за 590 тыс. долларов США.

Некоторые коллекции NFT, включая EtherRocks и CryptoPunks, являются примерами процедурального искусства, где множество различных изображений может быть создано путем сборки набора простых компонентов картинки в различных комбинациях.

В цифровой файл, связанный с уникальным токеном, была конвертирована работа художника Бэнкси «Morons (White)», которую блокчейн-компания Injective Protocol купила у галереи Taglialatella Gallery в Нью-Йорке за 95000 долларов США, а потом сожгла, организовав трансляцию. Это первый известный случай превращения физически существовавшего произведения искусства в виртуальный актив, заявил представитель Injective Protocol Мирза Уддин. Созданный уникальный токен планируют продать на аукционе за криптовалюту.

Игры
NFT могут использоваться для представления внутриигровых активов, таких как цифровые земельные участки, которые, по мнению некоторых комментаторов, контролируются «пользователем», а не разработчиком игры, позволяя торговать активами на сторонних торговых площадках без разрешения разработчика игры.

CryptoKitties была ранней успешной онлайн-игрой на блокчейне, в которой игроки усыновляли и обменивали виртуальных кошек. Монетизация NFT в рамках игры позволила привлечь $12,5 млн инвестиций, при этом некоторые котики продавались более чем за $100 000 каждый. После успеха CryptoKitties была добавлена в стандарт ERC-721, который был создан в январе 2018 года (и окончательно утвержден в июне). Аналогичная онлайн-игра на основе NFT, Axie Infinity, была запущена в марте 2018 года.

В октябре 2021 года компания-разработчик Valve запретила приложения, использующие технологию блокчейн или NFT для обмена ценностями или игровыми артефактами, на своей платформе Steam.

В декабре 2021 года Ubisoft анонсировала Ubisoft Quartz, «инициативу NFT, которая позволяет людям покупать искусственно дефицитные цифровые предметы с помощью криптовалюты». Объявление вызвало значительную критику, с коэффициентом неприятия 96 % по отношению к видеоролику объявления на YouTube, который с тех пор был удален с канала. Некоторые разработчики Ubisoft также выразили свою обеспокоенность по поводу этого объявления. В декабре 2021 студия GSC Game World сначала объявила о планах добавить в игру S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl NFT, а затем, после критики от пользователей, отказалась от этой идеи.

В ежегодном отчете Game Developers Conference за 2022 год говорится, что 70 процентов опрошенных разработчиков заявили, что их студии не заинтересованы в интеграции NFT или криптовалюты в свои игры.

Другие способы применения
В 2019 году Nike запатентовала систему под названием CryptoKicks, которая будет использовать NFT для проверки подлинности физических кроссовок и предоставления виртуальной версии обуви покупателю.

В начале 2020 года разработчик CryptoKitties, компания Dapper Labs, выпустила бета-версию NBA TopShot, проекта по продаже токенизированных коллекционных предметов из лучших моментов НБА, проект был построен на основе блокчейна Flow. Позже в том же году проект был обнародован, и по состоянию на 28 февраля 2021 года общий объём продаж составил более 230 миллионов долларов.

В 2021 году бренды LVMH, Bvlgari, Cartier и Prada создали свою блокчейн-группу Aura Blockchain Consortium, благодаря которой покупатели могут отслеживать происхождение товаров люксовых марок и подтверждать их подлинность.

Ряд интернет-мемов был связан с NFT, которые создавались и продавались их создателями или субъектами. В качестве примера можно привести Доге, Nyan Cat и Disaster Girl.

Некоторые порнографические произведения продавались как NFT, хотя враждебное отношение торговых площадок NFT к порнографическим материалам создает значительные трудности для создателей.

30 марта 2021 года адвокат Станисловас Томас создал невзаимозаменяемый токен для видео, снятого в 2019 году в Вильнюсе, на котором он кувалдой разбил мемориальную доску Йонасу Норейке, которого литовские власти считают национальным героем, боровшимся с коммунистами.

В ноябре 2021 года режиссёр Квентин Тарантино выпустил семь NFT, основанных на неснятых сценах «Криминального чтива». Впоследствии компания Miramax подала иск, заявив, что их права на фильм были нарушены.

В мире уже несколько вузов приступили к выдаче выпускникам документов об образовании в формате NFT, что делает невозможным их подделку. В их числе корейский  (с 2022 года). В 2022 году выпускники магистратуры Московского физико-технического института по программе «Блокчейн» получили дипломы в форме NFT, созданного на платформе OpenSea с использованием Ethereum. Массачусетский технологический институт (с 2017 года) в качестве пилотной программы выдаёт цифровые сертификаты на блокчейн технологии Blockcerts, не имеющей отношения к NFT.

Стандарты
Для поддержки использования блокчейна в игровой индустрии были разработаны особые стандарты токенов. К ним относятся стандарт Ethereum ERC-721 для CryptoKitties и более новый стандарт ERC-1155.

Стандарт ERC-998 позволяет объединить разные NFT в один составной NFT, а ERC-875 — передать несколько токенов новому владельцу в одной транзакции.

В 2021 году объединение компаний-разработчиков компьютерных игр Blockchain Game Alliance разрабатывает новый стандарт Blockchain Bean Asset (BBA).

ERC-721
ERC-721 был первым стандартом для невзаимозаменяемых цифровых активов. Это унаследованный стандарт смарт-контрактов Solidity. Его пользователи могут создавать новые совместимые с ERC-721 контракты, импортируя их из библиотеки OpenZeppelin.

ERC-721R
ERC-721R — смарт-контракт, который позволяет отправить NFT обратно создателю и при этом вернуть затраченные средства.

ERC-1155
ERC-1155 привнёс в мир NFT идею полузаменяемости, а также предоставляет расширенный набор функций для ERC-721, что означает, что актив ERC-721 может быть построен с использованием ERC-1155.

Реализация
Создать уникальный токен и связать с ним медиафайл можно самостоятельно и бесплатно на сервисе opensea.io. Для этого потребуется адрес в Ethereum. Если его нет, для генерации можно воспользоваться множеством сервисов криптовалютных кошельков, одним из вариантов которых является MetaMask в форме расширения для популярных браузеров или мобильного приложения, не требующий регистрации и передачи каких-либо персональных данных.

Передать уникальный токен на другой Ethereum-адрес, вне зависимости, принадлежит он тому же человеку или другому, возможно только по процедурам обработки смарт-контрактов, что подразумевает уплату системе (сети узлов Ethereum) комиссии.

Токены, представляющие цифровое искусство, чаще всего не хранят изображение или видео непосредственно в блокчейне из-за большого размера таких файлов. Такие токены содержат веб-ссылку на изображение или видео цифррового искусства, что делает их уязвимыми из-за вымирания ссылок.

MEGXIT - Prince Harry, Meghan move to Canada 🇨🇦
Re: megxit
Hence the name: Frogmore?? I was curious as to where that came from. Apparently Meghan did get a voice over part in some Disney schtick. but wanted here salary to be contributed to some cause. Meghan can probably find a job on her own.............but what will Harry do for "work " He is a college grad.......but what is his skill set that can translate into a job??

Harry loves Lesotho. He set up the charity Sentebale. Sentebale supports the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people affected by HIV in Lesotho and Botswana. He's often visiting that small southern African country. Maybe he will now fulfil his dream of becoming a tour guide, maybe in Lesotho or neighbouring South Africa or Botswana.

She's a US citizen, why doesn't she return to the USA??
If my grandmother killed my mom and hated my mulatto wife, I'd move my wife and kid to another continent too.
I think he has the personality for "Tour Guide"..............but not sure the income that kind of job would yield could come close to what their lifestyle demands. they would have to make some major lifestyle adjustments for that to work.It could also be seasonal. But I do think that the structure of a working week...........would be good for him........ He seemed quite happy in the military.........where there is a lot of structure. Structure provides security..
I guess we just wait to see what he comes up with. Hard to say if it will bringin the salary he/ they have been accustomed to.
at the moment they are living in a millionaires mansion in Bc ( Vancouver Island.......near Victoria) that was arranged for them by David Foster. She travels by float plane from the island to the lower mainland to do her ...........whatever it is she does. The two places she visited had barely anhr advance notice that she was coming. The ferry ride from Van Island and the mainland...takes about 1hr and 45 min.

Any idea what class of drivers license Harry has? I'm assuming he can pass a criminal record check & has a valid passport. We're hiring. He'll have to pass the pre-employment drug screening and stay clean, but he could enter the exciting world of international transport hauling RV's from the plants where they're made in the US to dealerships in Western Canada where they'll be sold....if he qualifies.
We use the Eco-Friendly Unicorn Fart powered Kenworth T370's for the most part. Actually, what comes out of the tailpipe on these is potentially cleaner than the air going into the engine depending on where it's traveling. Unfortunately even Unicorn Farts can gel up in this current spat of Global Warming/Cooling/Changing that we're currently experiencing. We where thinking of converting one of them to run on rendered Polar Bears like David Suzuki's bus but bio-fuels just don't do well in our winter climate (unless diluted with at least about 96% real Western Canadian Winter Diesel).

After Ricky Gervais, another British actor has attacked the woke crowd and the lefty liberals. Whilst doing so, Laurence Fox has been lobbing some of their favourite insults back at them.
Once again, the Twitterati are in a tizzy, attacking him from all fronts as he just bats them away like flies.
The row comes after Fox, 41, accused university lecturer Rachel Boyle of 'being racist' on BBC Question Time after she called him 'a white privileged male' for denying the Duchess of Sussex was hounded from Britain for being mixed-race.
On BBC's Question Time, Laurence Fox -
who has also attacked wokeness in women under 35 and said he would never date a woman under that age - said 'throwing the card of racism at everybody... [is] really starting to get boring'.

I still don't see why the Canadian taxpayer should foot the bill for their security.
Especially since he abdicated!
Harry and Meghan: PM says the country wishes them well for the future
The Queen smiled broadly as she was greeted at St Mary the Virgin Church in Norfolk this morning
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the whole country will want to wish the Duke and Duchess of Sussex well for the future as they give up royal duties.
It came as the Queen went to church near Sandringham in her first public appearance since it was announced the couple were giving up their HRH titles.
In her statement yesterday she wished them "a happy and peaceful new life".
But Thomas Markle, Meghan's father, accused them of "cheapening" the Royal Family.
Speaking briefly to reporters at a summit in Berlin, Mr Johnson said he had been confident the Royal Family would find a way forward for Prince Harry and Meghan, adding: "I think the whole country will want to join in wishing them the very best for the future."
The Queen was met by about 100 well-wishers outside St Mary the Virgin Church in Hillington, Norfolk, where she arrived with the Duke of York.
Announcing the decision over the duke and duchess in a statement on Saturday, she said she was "particularly proud" of how quickly Meghan became one of the family and said she, Harry and Archie would always be "much loved".
The new arrangements, which will begin in the spring, mean the couple will no longer use their HRH titles and will not formally represent the Queen.
HRH, an abbreviation of His/Her Royal Highness, is used as part of the title of some members of the Royal Family.
The duke and duchess will receive no public funds for royal duties and intend to repay £2.4m of taxpayer money used for the refurbishment of Frogmore Cottage.
The house in Windsor, for which they will pay rent, will remain their family home as they divide their time between the UK and Canada.
Prince Harry and Meghan said they wanted to "step back" from their role as senior royals after both speaking about the media scrutiny.
The duchess is suing the Mail on Sunday for publishing what she says was a private letter to her father, raising the prospect of him testifying against her in court.
In comments for a forthcoming Channel 5 documentary which emerged on Sunday, Thomas Markle said the Royal Family is "one of the greatest long-living institutions ever" and accused the couple of "destroying it, they are cheapening it, making it shabby".
"Every young girl wants to become a princess and she got that and now she's tossing that away," he said. "It looks like she's tossing that away for money."
The announcement about the couple's future comes after they held talks with the Queen on Monday.
The Queen said following "many months of conversations and more recent discussions" she was "pleased that together we have found a constructive and supportive way forward for my grandson and his family".
In its statement, Buckingham Palace said: "The Sussexes will not use their HRH titles as they are no longer working members of the Royal Family."
BBC royal correspondent Daniela Relph told BBC Radio 5 Live: "When they first issued that statement about what they wanted, (on 8 January) they talked about forging this progressive role within the Royal Family, about stepping back from royal duties. This isn't stepping back, it's stepping away entirely."
She said the question that will "hang over them" for the next year is what their commercial life will look like.
Buckingham Palace said the duke and duchess understood they were required to withdraw from royal duties, including official military appointments.
"While they can no longer formally represent the Queen, the Sussexes have made clear that everything they do will continue to uphold the values of Her Majesty," it said.
The statement added that the pair would continue to maintain their private patronages and associations - the duke currently holds 16 patronages, including the Invictus Games Foundation, the Royal Marines and the Rugby Football League; and the duchess four - the National Theatre, the Association of Commonwealth Universities, London-based animal charity Mayhew, and women's charity Smart Works.

The Rugby League has said it is delighted Prince Harry would continue as its patron. He held the world cup draw at Buckingham Palace on Thursday.
Rhino Conservation Botswana also welcomed his ongoing support.
Probably doesn't want her pussy grabbed by the orange clown. lol

I saw a clip on the internet of Harry chatting to some Disney bigwig, trying to persuade him to give Meghan a voice part in an upcoming Disney movie, but he didn't seem that interested.
I don't know what's going to happen but Harry should have listened to his big brother's advice and got to know Meghan better first before marrying her. As for her, she seems out of her depth marrying into the Royal Family. I don't think she knew what she was getting herself into. This is unlike Catherine, who was prepped by the wiser William and even her family before they married.
Just to point out, Frogmore Cottage is in Windsor, Berkshire, to the west of London. It was built in 1801 on the direction of Queen Charlotte, George III's wife and Harry's great-great-great-great-great-great-grandmother.
The cottage was originally known as Double Garden Cottage, but took its current name from when Queen Victoria (George III's and Charlotte's granddaughter) had breakfast at the cottage on 28th June 1875 and noted an "immense number of little frogs" which she found "quite disgusting".

The two brothers are working in co-op, but you, a single player, are controlling both of them. The control scheme is frustratingly addictive. Seeing as there are only two controls: movement and 'interact', this game would be TERRIBLE as a true co-op. The puzzles and gameplay are simple, and I could imagine them becoming a little redundant were the game any longer. They are there more to advance the story, than to challenge you. Despite the areas where Brothers: A Tale of Two Songs is lacking, it is incredible what Starbreeze Studios has packed into three hours of gameplay. Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, formerly known as P13, was developed by Starbreeze Studios and was the first game to come from the publishing partnership with Games. The game uses Unreal Engine 3, and was developed in collaboration with Swedish award-winning film director Josef Fares.

What Are the Drug Penalty Groups in Texas?
By Keith G. Allen December 18, 2021 December 20th, 2021 No Comments
Texas has some of the strictest drug laws in the country. Even possessing small amounts of a controlled substance can lead to expensive fines or potential jail time. The penalty for a drug offense relies on the drug's type (or "schedule") of the drug and the quantity of the substance. If law enforcement has arrested you for a drug-related offense, contact a trusted Pearland criminal defense attorney right away to ensure your rights remain protected. In the meantime, it's helpful to understand the basic drug penalty groups in Texas so you know more about what to expect in the weeks and months ahead.
Understanding the Four Drug Schedules
The Texas Controlled Substances Act identifies four drug schedules, ranging from Schedule I (the most addictive) to Schedule IV (less prone to addiction but still considered dangerous). Each schedule corresponds to a penalty group, which articulates the criminal penalties for possession, manufacture, or delivery. Penalty Group 1 substances include opioids (oxycodone, hydrocodone), heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, and other hallucinogens. Penalty Group 1-A consists of LSD and any of its isomers or salts. Penalty Group 2 includes hallucinogenic substances like ecstasy, PCP, and mescaline. Penalty Group 3 contains certain opioids like benzodiazepines and Valium, as well as prescription drugs that carry the potential for abuse. Penalty Group 4 refers to a wide range of prescription medications that may have the potential for abuse.
Penalty Groups and Consequences in Texas
The specific penalties for a drug offense depend on the schedule of the drug and the amount in question. In general, the higher the classification and the larger the amount, the more severe the consequences. For instance, possessing less than 28 grams of a Penalty 4 substance may be considered a Class B misdemeanor, carrying a $2,000 fine and up to 180 days in county jail. At the other end of the spectrum, possessing between 200-400 grams of a Penalty 1 substance is considered a first-degree felony, punishable by 5 to 99 years in state prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
Defending Your Future and Your Freedom
Texas prosecutors take an aggressive approach to drug-related offenses. As soon as possible, contact an experienced Houston criminal defense lawyer who can fight to defend your rights and your freedom. Your attorney will examine the specifics of your case, looking for any violations of your rights during the arrest process. Together, you can work hard to keep your future as bright as possible. Now is not the time to leave your fate up to chance—discuss your situation with a skilled attorney today.

Packing your rucksack for winter requires much more care and thought than in summer. Everything needs to be kept dry in waterproof bags, and organisation is vital as there will rarely be the opportunity to unpack and lay items on the ground while you locate something in the bottom of the sack.
Use drybags. Don't even think about relying on the rucksack alone to keep items dry.
Use multiple drybags. A single, large rucksack liner restricts the way in which you can pack and ultimately reduces the capacity of your rucksack. What's more, as soon as the top is open, rain and snow can get in. Instead, use several smaller drybags to pack individual items.
Pack the drybags into the rucksack in reverse order of when you may need them – for example first-aid kit and emergency clothing at the bottom; and your next payer of clothing and spare gloves towards the top.
This month's photo shows the view looking towards Bidean nam Bian from the summit of Stob Coire nan Lochain. Bidean, the highest peak in Glencoe, gives a fabulous walk in summer or winter, though the latter makes for a much more serious day out. In particular, navigation off the summit in poor visibility requires care. There are various options for this route, making it longer or shorter, but a popular option is to approach via the Lost Valley and take in the other Munro on the ridge, Stob Coire Sgreamhach.
Last week I was up in Glencoe and had this wonderful view from the summit of Stob Coire nan Lochain.
Availability for the winter season is now limited to late-February onwards, but that's a great time to go to Scotland.
25 February 2019 onwards. Limited availability remaining.
Skye 2019. A sneak preview. This isn't advertised anywhere yet, but I might be running a trip to Skye in late spring 2019. Depending on numbers, this could be for rock climbing or scrambling (max 2) or for adventurous 'scrambly' walking (max 4-6, depending on routes). Get in touch if you are interested.
Spring/Summer 2019. The usual range of climbing, scrambling and navigation courses will be available once again.

Money Mail investigation uncovers an array of hidden catches in travel insurance small print of some of the most prominently advertised policies on price comparison websites.
A recent article by Victoria Bischoff, Deputy Editor of Money Mail warns of the dangers of buying cheap travel insurance deals, as they often offer the worst cover. In some cases, travellers find that they will not be covered in the event they have an accident during popular activities such as cycling, horse riding and snorkeling. Martyn James of complaints website Resolver said "Travel insurance companies are renowned for relying on ambiguous contract terms to get out of paying claims. Holidaymakers should be particularly wary when using price comparison websites".
In one recent case, a 52-year-old grandmother injured herself falling off a quad bike in Greece. She was left with thousands of pounds in medical bills after her insurer refused to pay out because it excludes quad biking in the small print.
Thatsinsurance.com have responded to this problem, by not only rating policies in respect of the cover they provide, but also presenting a comprehensive in depth review of each policy, highlighting the major exclusions and any onerous terms and conditions in the travel insurance small print.
We are the only company that takes into account every travel policy available to buy online (over 160 different websites) We have reviewed hundreds of insurers and thousands of travel policies. The website ranks all travel policies according to the coverage they offer and their value for money.

Experts say that many holiday makers and travellers will be unaware that policies will not protect them or that they have to shop around very carefully to get the best deal and one that provides the cover you will need.
Thatsinsurance.com is totally independent of any insurance company. So, if you are planning a trip or a holiday in the near future, it will certainly pay to check us out.

Published March 2, 2016 | By Jill Kremer
On January 9, 2016 I applied for my first grant in hopes of financing two upcoming piano solo Cds.
The following is the Artist Statement which I submitted.
Finger crossed!
I am pleased to submit this application for a $7,500 grant from the Artist Trust. If I were awarded the requested funding, I would use it for the following projects:
I. Beloved Literary Characters
To compose a suite of piano solos that reflect classic literary characters and to produce both recorded (CD) and written (sheet music) versions of the composition(s).
Four of the pieces to be composed will exemplify the characters from Louisa May Alcott's beloved novel, Little Women. Each piece will reflect the personality of its character. Meg's solo will be in the classical style; Jo's will be an exciting march; Beth's will be a sweet, melodious song; and Amy's will be a fiery, high-spirited dance.
An additional three compositions will reflect characters and events from The Yearling by Marjorie Rawlings. The Storm will be represented by a spectacular technical whirlwind of a solo; Fodder Wing, the frail neighbor boy, will have a tender and poignant tune; Ol' Slew Foot, the dangerous lurking bear, will have a song that sounds menacing and scary.
Two pieces will feature heroines from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's epic poems. The music that reflects "Evangeline," the tragic story of a young woman who searches in vain for her lost love, will be lyrical and romantic. The music that reflects Laughing Water (Minnehaha), the bride in "The Song of Hiawatha," will be playful and sound like cascading water.
The last composition will be named for Helen Hunt Jackson's "Ramona," a tragic love story about a Scots-Native American orphan girl who lived in Spanish California in the late 1800's.
II. Women of France
The second project I would undertake with the Artist Trust grant is to compose a suite of piano solos entitled "Women of France." As in the previous project, the individual pieces within this suite will be created to reflect the personalities of the women for which they are named. An as in the previous project, I will produce both recorded (CD) and written (sheet music) versions of the compositions.
The first piece planned is a longer one in four movements entitled "Voices: A Tribute to Joan of Arc." This work will begin with phrases that sound like galloping horses, representing Joan's life as a young warrior. The next section will be somber, reflecting divine intervention, followed by the sad music of the trial and execution. After the heavenly ascent, the sounds of galloping horses will be heard again.
In addition, the CD and written music will include eight shorter piano works that represent women important in the history of France. The composition planned for Marie Antoinette is in the style of Mozart, delicate and elegant. I have planned a solo composed for Josephine Bonaparte, wife of Napoleon, which will be flowing and lyrical. Madame Bovary, although a fictional character, will be represented by a composition with a country style of carefree innocence that spirals down to sadness and despair. The work for Josephine Baker will include music representative of the Roaring 20's. Marie Curie's song, in Baroque style, will emulate her orderly, scientific mind. The song for George Sand will be the most romantic, as this famous novelist was well known for her affair with Frederic Chopin. The piece for Margaret of Valois will have a "queenly" feel to it. The final composition will be dedicated to "The Unknown Burlesque Dancer" and will be a spectacular Can-Can dance number with a grand finale.
The funds will be used to compose the piano solos, record the compositions, edit the sound recording, produce the CD, edit the written music for publishing, and publish and copyright the written/sheet music.
These projects, although more ambitious, are commensurate with the successful P.E.O. Founders project I undertook previously. (My P.E.O. chapter has sold nearly 300 copies of the CD as a fundraiser!) If I am awarded the requested funds, it would be a great privilege to debut the new piano solos at the Artist Trust Meet the Artist performances.

Release of new CD "Wonderment of Our World"
Published September 17, 2015 | By Jill Kremer
According to Webster's Dictionary, the word "Wonderment" means a feeling of being surprised or amazed.
Wonderment of Our World is a CD of piano solos which captures that feeling of surprise.
These compositions reflect the natural cycle of the year. This album begins with the Winter Solstice and ends with the October Full Moon. Each piano solo uniquely portrays these various occurrences. One example is in Fall Equinox, one can visualize the leaves blowing around while listening to happy playful phrases. In the song Zenith, riveting runs sweep up the piano and burst into silence,much like a star pinnacle in the sky.

Ouya Android Game Console Hits $4 Million Home Run on Kickstarter and It's Still Going
Wouldn't it be great if game consoles didn't cost several hundred dollars, and if the games were free to play, at least to try them out? Well, that's the central idea behind Ouya, a new game console for the TV and powered by Android. Ouya's open-source foundation is the key cog in what the developers hope will be a game changing machine, one that revolutionizes the gaming landscape and turns the industry upside down on its head.
In less than three days, Ouya has raised roughly $4 million on Kickstarter from more than 30,000 excited backers. A discounted reward tier of $95 in exchange for a finished console and controller was capped at 1,000 donations and sold out on day 1. Over 25,000 backers so far have pledged $99, all of which will be rewarded with an Ouya console and controller sometime before it ships to stores. Five backers have pledged $10,000 or more, which underscores the excitement surrounding this project. What exactly makes Ouya so special?
It starts with the price tag. Ouya proposes to be an affordable $99 console at retail. It will come ARMed with an Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core processor flanked by 1GB of system memory, 8GB of internal flash storage, Wireless-N and Bluetooth LE 4.0 connectivity, HDMI output for connecting to your swank living room HDTV (supports up to 1080p HD), a single USB 2.0 port, and a wireless controller with standard controls (two analog sticks, D-pad, eight action buttons, a system button, and a touchpad). All this will come wrapped in Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0).
Ouya's developers aren't just looking to put out a low-cost console with capable hardware, they want the games to be inexpensive as well. Towards that end, developers have just one rule to follow: at least some of the gameplay has to be free. That can mean a free demo with a full-game upgrade option, or it can be mean a free-to-play title with in-game upgrades, subscription models, or anything else developers can think of to make this venture worth their time and energy.
It's essentially mobile gaming ported over to the living room, at least in part. The freemium model reins supreme on tablet PCs and smartphones, where games like Angry Birds and Words with Friends rule the day. If Ouya is to be successful, its developers need to think bigger and better things than mobile gaming, and they are. What they envision are games like League of Legends, Team Fortress 2, Triple Town, and other such titles.
The other part of the equation is that every Ouya console doubles as development kit.
"We've packed this little box full of power. Developers will have access to Ouya's open design so they can produce their games for the living room, taking advantage of everything the TV has to offer," Ouya's developers explain on the project's Kickstarter page. "Developers can wave farewell to the roadblocks of bringing a console game to market. Anyone can make a game: every Ouya console is a dev kit. No need to purchase a license or an expensive SDK. It's built on Android, so developers already know how it works.
That doesn't mean Ouya is an Android port. You can create the next big title in your bedroom – just like the good old days! Who needs pants!? Ouya could change AAA game development, too. Forget about licensing fees, retail fees, and publishing fees."
Ouya is nothing if not ambitious, maybe overly so. One thing you can be sure of is that publishers like Electronic Arts and Ubisoft aren't going to be gung-ho to jump on a free-to-play model when they're raking in millions of dollars on games for the Xbox 360, Wii, PlayStation 3, and PC. That means Ouya's success lies squarely on the shoulders of developers like Zynga and the open-source community at large.
The other challenge for Ouya is that success is a double-edged sword. If Ouya ends up being a hit, it will inevitably attract competition once it's proven there's a market for this sort of thing. Imagine if Amazon decided to build a similar console. Or Apple or Google or Motorola or...you get the idea.
Long-term challenges abound, and Ouya doesn't yet have a clear direction where it wants to go. In fact, it's developers didn't anticipate blowing past its $950,000 funding goal on Kickstarter, at least not on the first day.
"We are blown away by your support. With your help, we just raised $2 million. And it's only the first day. Now we want to blow you away," Ouya's developers said in a statement. "The biggest thing for us right now: we are working on our stretch goals, what we can do if we raise more money. It might take us a few days to figure that out, and we want your help."
Figuring out where to take this project might prove to be the biggest challenge, but if it's ultimately successful, it could be the biggest thing to happen to gaming in a long, long time.

Scotland's home qualifying matches for major international football tournaments will continue to be shown on subscription channels such as Sky Sports until at least 2013.
A commission last year recommended the broadcast rights for the games should be reserved for free-to-air channels.
But the UK government has now deferred a review of the issue until the conclusion of the digital switchover.
The announcement was described as "ridiculous" by an SNP MSP.
The list of so-called sporting Crown Jewels, which was drawn up in 1998, is intended to ensure viewers have a chance to watch events of "special national resonance" on terrestrial stations such as the BBC and ITV.
Among the events included on the list are the World Cup and European Championship football finals, the Olympic Games, Wimbledon, the Grand National and the Scottish and FA Cup finals.
An independent advisory panel chaired by former Football Association executive director David Davies recommended that qualifying matches played by the four Home Nations should be added to the list.
At present, Sky Sports holds the broadcast rights to all of Scotland's home qualifying matches, with rights to away matches sold to broadcasters on an individual basis by the Scottish Football Association.
SNP West of Scotland MSP Stuart McMillan claimed broadcasting the matches on satellite or cable channels prevented thousands of Scotland fans from seeing their team play on the international stage.
Mr McMillan said: "Once again the Tories find themselves offside in Scotland.
"It is ridiculous that for Scotland fans who want to see their team play the only way to watch the match is to go to the pub, leaving young footballers of the future unable to see the match and putting pressure on parents' already stretched budgets to sign up to satellite or cable stations.
"The continued failure of the BBC or ITV to recognise their obligations to Scottish sports fans and to invest in showing Scotland games as they do in other sports such as Formula One is one part of the problem, but one a place on the Crown Jewels could have solved."
UK Minister for Sport Hugh Robertson said he "fully supported" the principle of protecting major sports events for free to air coverage.
"But with Digital Switchover concluding in 2012, this will result in the widespread availability of a significantly increased number of television channels, many of which will be free to air," he said.
Mr Robertson added: "Add to this the BBC's Strategy Review, which will cover sports rights, and the Ofcom Pay TV Review, the broadcasting context for this decision is increasingly unclear.
"The current economic climate also points to us not making a decision at this time which could adversely impact on sport at the grassroots. I have therefore decided to defer any review until 2013, when we will look at this again."
