The rise of the Internet, too, has led to numerous concerns about the prospects of web or email snooping by employers, web hosts, or the government. It is possible, for example, for an Internet Service Provider to track the sites a person surfs on the web. It is possible for an employer to track an individual's emails --inbound as well as outbound--and to keep a log of every website the employee visits. The FBI's "Carnivore" program can track all mouseclicks an individual makes on the Web. Web businesses drop "cookies" onto an individuals computer, and can thereafter track the individual's behavior on that site to create an online "profile" of the individual's interests, shopping and reading habits. Do these developments raise concerns about informational privacy? If so, what can, or should, be done about them?
What, if any, information should be shielded from snoopy marketers, government agencies or database-keepers? Do individuals have a right of informational privacy that should be protected? If so, how? What sorts of information do we think should be shielded from others' view, and why? Should the government be asked to create privacy rules that protect privacy interests? Or, should consumers be left to negotiate their own privacy protections? These are the sorts of questions the course will address.
The course will look at many contemporary instances in which new online technologies have increased the risk that intimate or private information about individuals can be collected, stored, sorted, manipulated, and disclosed. In addition, the course will examine the utility (or not) of current schemes to regulate these invasions in the name of privacy.

How Political Instability Threatens Iraq from Within
By Julia Zorthian
May 5, 2016 6:01 AM EDT
On April 30, hundreds of protesters stormed Baghdad's Green Zone, the heavily fortified central area where Iraq's parliament sits, demanding government reform. The unrest threatens to destabilize the country even as it faces an external threat from ISIS.
Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi had pledged to announce on April 30 a reform Cabinet of technocrats to fix the economy, after months of protests by Iraqis angry at energy and food shortages and endemic corruption. When the parliament postponed al-Abadi's vote, Shi'ite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr called for a "major popular revolution" that inspired his supporters to peacefully occupy the Green Zone.
AL-SADR'S DEMANDS
Protesters retreated on May 1 at the former militia leader's request, but he promised more unrest if the parliament fails to quickly appoint a new Cabinet. The self-positioned people's champion may not be motivated purely by nationalist fervor; on May 2 al-Sadr reportedly visited Shi'ite powerhouse Iran, which competes with the U.S. for sway over Iraq's affairs.
ORDER NEEDED
The international community agrees that Iraqi unity is crucial for coalition efforts to defeat ISIS. U.N. and U.S. diplomats have urged leaders to work together, and U.S. Vice President Joe Biden visited Iraq on April 28 to appeal to al-Abadi in person. But al-Sadr, whose followers waged violent campaigns post-Saddam against both the U.S. military and Sunni Iraqis, remains a wild card.

What 7 of the World's Smartest People Think About Artificial Intelligence

redpajama_set_name: RedPajamaCommonCrawl


7/8-OZ JOSEPH BRANT FREEMASON BROTHERHOOD MASONIC ART COIN SILVER. 925 STERLING SILVER RARE MASONIC ART COIN.
This round is a rare original in new condition. This is the coin you will receive, It is really beautiful in its detail. Besides being a great collectors item, pure Silver is up in the last 10 YEARS and art bars and coins are bringing a premium over the spot price of silver from investors and collectors.
This is a fun way to invest in silver and have a beautiful coin to boot. Great gift or add to a collection. This medal was minted by the authority of the International Fraternal Commemorative Society, founded in 1966 by a group of Midwestern Masons.
It was struck by the prestigious Franklin Mint in 1967 in a minuscule mintage of just 1,293 pieces. Many of these pieces, like many other coins and medals minted in this era, experienced severe withdrawal from the collector market into the melting pots during the "great silver melts" of the late 1970s and 1980s (caused primarily by the run-up of silver prices by the Hunt brothers). It is 39 mm in diameter and made of solid sterling silver -- larger than an old US silver dollar!
It is a Proof , Plus no one know's how many are left with all this melting, I was told It is probably less than 500 to 600 left. The medal's low mintage, the effects of the silver melts and the popularity of the subject matter makes this one extremely collectable and an interesting addition to any Freemasonry collection. Coin weighs 27.6 grams on solid sterling silver proof. See pics they show and say it all!

Non-apple Festival activities
Posted on September 2, 1998 June 20, 2014 by Xpress staff
Sure, you can enjoy apple-pancake breakfasts and apple-orchard tours and apple-recipe contests and the King Apple Parade, but — in case you need a break from all those red edibles — there are plenty of Apple Festival events that have nothing to do with fruit.
Check out these festival highlights:
• Western North Carolina Air Museum Open House and Sightseeing Rides.
The museum, housed at the Hendersonville Airport, is dedicated to preserving and promoting our region's flying heritage. See and explore the Stearman N2S-4 (also known as the "Yellow Peril"), a plane that introduced World War II aviators to flight; the North American SNJ-5 Texan, a classic two-seat trainer for young combat pilots; the Piper Cub and the Aeronca Champ, longtime favorites among flying buffs; and many more historically significant planes.
The museum will offer tours and aircraft rides 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Sept. 4-7, plus an antique aircraft flyby to kick off the King Apple Parade on Sept. 7 at 1:50 p.m. Call 698-2452 for more info.
• The East Flat Rock Doll Museum.
Here, you'll find celebrity dolls running the gamut from Howdy Doody to Paul McCartney. Diane Eschenbach established the museum in her new shop, Music Box World, and believes it to be the first doll museum in Henderson County. The dolls on display are not for sale: As Eschenbach puts it, "A true collector will not sell [her] stuff."
Museum highlights include an original 1932 Betty Boop doll, an original Kewpie doll, a 1930s Orphan Annie, and Eschenbach's newest acquisition: a Diana, Princess of Wales doll wearing a replica of her pearl-and-sequin-studded "Elvis" dress, one of the princess's favorites, which fetched more than a quarter million dollars at her famous evening-gown auction. (No, the King wasn't a cross-dresser, so far as we know; it was the press who dubbed the gown, with its sequins and high, white collar, the "Elvis" dress.)
The museum will also offer collectible Beanie babies for sale during the festival.
The East Flat Rock Doll Museum is located within Music Box World at 200 Lamplighter Lane (one block off Hwy. 176 at West Blue Ridge Road). Hours during the Apple Festival are 10 a.m.-6 p.m. each day. Call 698-0340 for more info.
• Gem and Mineral Spectacular/Moon Rock Special Display.
If rocks are your thing — rare rocks, sparkling rocks, out-of-this-world rocks — the Apple Festival offers plenty of opportunities to view them. At the 17th Annual Gem and Mineral Spectacular, held at Tom's Park Activity Center on Lily Pond Road and sponsored by the Henderson County Gem and Mineral Society, you can gaze upon a 3,215 carat, faceted, smoky-quartz gemstone, plus loads of other rocks, gems and fossils. For more studious types, educational programs will be offered each day on topics such as geology, fossils and the lapidary arts. Hourly door prizes and lots of refreshments round out the event. The Gem and Mineral Spectacular runs 1-6 p.m. on Sept. 4, and 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Sept. 5-7.
As an added treat, the Mineral and Lapidary Museum of Henderson County will display a moon rock brought back to Earth by the Apollo 14 mission, under the direction of the late Captain Alan Shepherd. The museum is located at 400 N. Main St. in Hendersonville, and hours during the festival are 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Sept. 4-6, and 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sept. 7.
Call 698-1977 for more info about both exhibits.

I, for the life of me, cannot figure out BMX's rainfall forecast. Latest trends show the heaviest falling along and WEST of I-65. Their graphics are gonna bust if the mesoscale models are correct, and given the latest trends, I'm leaning toward a rainfall bust. Too low in the western CWA and way too high in the eastern CWA.
I was just going to comment on how the rainfall pattern with inland Alberto has been flipped!
We're gonna start to have problems with that squall over Bibb and Tuscaloosa Counties. Rates of 2-3" an hour are being indicated and it looks to be stalling with its westward progression into those counties.
Alberto looks great this morning! I really wish it would have tracked over me or at least about 50 miles closer.
Flash flood warning for Tuscaloosa and Bibb. This is gonna get ugly if this squall doesn't weaken or move.
Just over two inches here. I've received close to 8 inches over the past week and two days, time to dry out.
Twitter reports from Pelham police of trees down not far from where I live...I've only received 1.48 of rain since midnight!
Meanwhile, Huntsville looks to get missed completely by about 10-15 miles.
It kicks in every summer and it drives me insane. I've had MCS's break up and miss my house by half a mile on either direction only to re-solidify as soon as they pass me. I genuinely think I'm cursed some days.
Surprise! HRRR, and radar indicate significant rainfall totals, and a flash flooding threat through the morning for eastern Alabama.


Terfel, Bryn, 1965–, Welsh bass-baritone, b. Pant Glas as Bryn Terfel Jones. One of the most acclaimed singers of his era, he has a voice of rare warmth, richness, and power.

Live Streaming: D14
5 June, 2014 by Benny
On 29 and 30 May 2014, the digital and creative sectors came together at the SECC in Glasgow to explore ways to collaborate through an day-long programme of keynote presentations, seminars, networking, and an interactive showcase.
Inner Ear were asked to provide a live stream of the entire day long event, streaming video content from the main auditorium and the various studio sessions which took place throughout D14, Scotland's flagship digital summit. We also hosted our own stall in the networking area of the conference, complete with a selection of iPads demoing the apps we have produced, a big screen displaying the live stream and Inner Ear showreels, and a prize giveaway with 2 exclusive tickets for both the SAY Award and Sound To Sea events up for grabs. Winners of the competition will be informed via email.
On the evening of Thursday 29 May, Inner Ear and Radio Magnetic DJs took to the stage to provide the soundtrack for the introductory networking event, complete with speakers, interactive stalls and many fine foods and drink on offer. As part of our set, we projected (and played) some music videos and live music sessions we have produced in recent years up on the big projector, audible and visible to all attendees of the evening event.
On the Friday morning, prominent speakers from Interactive Scotland (Mark Bell, Head of Enterprise and Innovation, and Alisdair Gunn, Project Director) welcomed the delegates in the main auditorium. They then handed the microphone over to Microsoft's Chief Envisioning Officer, Dave Coplin as he spoke about "Envisioning the Digital Future" with reference to his book, 'The Rise of the Human' and why we should sometimes put down our phone/tablet/laptop and enjoy being human and our real life, away from the screen. The morning session also saw Tony Ageh from the BBC discuss Thinking Knowledge" with delegates, and from the Glasgow School of Art, Professor Irene McAra McWilliam spoke passionately on "Designing Towards Innovation".
Watch the morning session of talks from D14 on demand below.
After a break for coffee and some more delightful food, the afternoon studio sessions took place in the main arena at the SECC, set up to house talks and discussion on various different digital themes, including Digital Health & Care, Education, FinTech and Retailing. Amongst the experts leading these sessions, we heard from representatives of organisations including people from the BBC, NHS 24, Standard Life, PA Consulting, and many more.
We provided a live stream from the retail tent on the day, with all other simultaneous talks taking place, captured and recorded for later release (stay tuned to this page and twitter.com/innerearuk for announcements in the near future). These afternoon studio sessions saw an interesting retail talk from Richard Unwin from Backbone IT on how Scotland could improve it's approach to e-commerce and do more in the way of online selling, focussing on sales as opposed to likes. This sparked some interesting discussion amongst delegates, as did John Andrews from International Omni Retailing Markets Association, talking about driving omni commerce markets and more.
Watch the afternoon Retail studio sessions back anytime on Livestream
After another break for teas, coffees and more networking, delegates returned to the main auditorium for further talks and presentations from key speakers in the digital sphere. These closing afternoon sessions featured a varied array of organisations and speakers, including Johnston Press and the founder of the Government Digital Service.
Jeff Moriarty, chief digital and product officer for Johnstone Press spoke convincingly on the dissemination of information and how his organisation works to reach audiences in most effective, convenient and progressive manner. This closing session also saw Roger DeAth from UK Search and Google speak informatively on the definition of a digital enterprise and Chris Aitken alongside pupils from Wick High School taking delegates through innovative apps the young people had invented and produced and the benefits of doing so.
The final produced video content from the event will be published very soon, and posted on this page once publicly available.
To find out how Inner Ear can help increase your reach and bring in new audiences for your event, get in touch to discuss live streaming possibilities and the kind of services we can offer you and your organisation.

DHA, or docosahexaenoic acid, is a key omega-3 fatty acid that makes up a sizeable percentage of your overall brain tissue.
Just as calcium is essential for building strong bones, DHA helps brain cells develop and function properly throughout life.
Further, DHA has been shown to increase the blood flow to your brain, which is also helpful for overall brain health*.
Neurons in the brain process and transmit electrical and chemical "messages" that enable our bodies to function normally.
These neurons are rich in omega-3 DHA; therefore, a diet low in DHA may deprive the nervous system of a critical nutrient for healthy brain function*.
Nurture Brain provides 600 mg of ultra-pure and highly concentrated triglyceride Omega-3 DHA per dose to support healthy brain function* throughout life.

Q: C++ end iteration but not loop There is a loop i want to run and check for valid input, if not valid jump out the itteration and start at the beginning of the loop where i ask for input.
close = false;
int direction
while (!close){

    if (!(cin >> direction)){
        cout << "not valid: " << endl;
        continue;
    }
    close = true;
}

However when I run it I can only enter the direction one time and not reenter it when continue is reached. How can I end a itteration and let the user retry.
When adding the variable to the while loop and remove from above the while loop (it's local to the while loop and destroyed outside than right?) like
while (!close){
    int direction;
    ////
 }

it also dosn't work. I know the whole part of code could be better but I just started with c++ and am trying to understand why it dosn't work like i expect.

A: Why not use a while loop?
while(! (cin >> x)) {
    cout << "invalid input " << endl;
}

Q: Prove that K is a subgroup of $N_G(H)$. Let $G$ be a group, $H$ and $K$ subgroups of $G$ with $H$ a normal subgroup of $K$. The normalizer of $H$ in $G$ is $$N_G(H)=\{g\in G | gHg^{-1}=H\}.$$ Prove that K is a subgroup of $N_G(H)$.
Since $H$ is normal in $K$, then  $gHg^{-1}\in K$.  Does this fact help me?  How can I prove it's a subgroup of the normalizer of H in G?  Need a plan for this proof.

A: You know $K$ and $N_G(H)$ are both subgroups of $G$, so all you need to do is to show that $K \subseteq N_G(H)$.  If $k\in K$, then since $H$ is normal in $K$, we have $kHk^{-1}=H$.  This is exactly what needs to be true for $k\in N_G(H)$.


It took firefighters about two hours Tuesday to put out a fire at an electronics recycling facility near the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport.
The fire, which produced a black plume of smoke that could be seen for miles, was reported at about 5:40 p.m. at American Electronics Recycling, 1500 Independence Blvd. The business closed at 4 p.m. on Tuesday and firefighters did not know how the fire started. By 7:30 p.m. the fire had been doused, but was still smoldering in spots.
The fire was contained to hundreds of items stored outside the building on pallets, including televisions, computers and monitors. Such items can release toxins when they catch fire. Because of that, state officials were notified and a hazmat team was called in to determine any possible environmental fallout from the blaze.
No one was injured in the fire. Company officials declined to comment.

Except for specialized rocket research vehicles like the North American X and other rocket-powered spacecraftaircraft top speeds have remained level, generally in the range of Mach 1 to Mach 3.

The HyShot project demonstrated scramjet combustion on July 30, The scramjet engine worked effectively and demonstrated supersonic combustion in action.
However, the engine was not designed to provide thrust to propel a craft. It was designed more or less as a technology demonstrator. The launch was one of ten planned test flights.
It reached an atmospheric velocity of "more than 5, kilometres per hour" Mach 4 after taking off from the Woomera Test Range in outback South Australia. The test was declared a success. The XA was carried aboard a Baccelerated to Mach 4.
The attempt to fly the scramjet for a prolonged period at Mach 6 was cut short when, only 15 seconds into the flight, the XA craft lost control and broke apart, falling into the Pacific Ocean north-west of Los Angeles. The cause of the failure was blamed on a faulty control fin.
The WaveRider was dropped at 50, feet from a B bomber, and then accelerated to Mach 4.
Scramjet Engine
Twin scramjet engines were mounted on the back of the second stage of a two-stage, solid-fueled sounding rocket called Advanced Technology Vehicle ATVwhich is ISRO's advanced sounding rocket.
The scramjet engines were fired for a duration of about 5 seconds. Similar to conventional jet engines, scramjet-powered aircraft carry the fuel on board, and obtain the oxidizer by the ingestion of atmospheric oxygen as compared to rocketswhich carry both fuel and an oxidizing agent.
This requirement limits scramjets to suborbital atmospheric propulsion, where the oxygen content of the air is sufficient to maintain combustion.
The scramjet is composed of three basic components: Unlike a typical jet engine, such as a turbojet or turbofan engine, a scramjet does not use rotating, fan-like components to compress the air; rather, the achievable speed of the aircraft moving through the atmosphere causes the air to compress within the inlet.A ramjet is a jet engine that relies on forward momentum to create pressure instead of a moving piston or fan Requires forward motion to produce thrust Uses continuous combustion Incoming air is slowed to subsonic by cone Slowed air creates pressure needed for combustion Fuel injected into pressurized air Flame ignites mixture Air expands and.

The Science Of Liquid Smoke
"Liquid smoke is made by a distillation process similar to making whiskey, so if you hate it, back away from the bar and put down that single malt, pahdna." Meathead
Most barbecue sauces contain liquid smoke or "Natural smoke flavor", and some commercial meats, like hams, jerkies, and sausages are created with liquid smoke. Barbecue purists (snobs?) detest the concept, but I see it as just another flavoring in my arsenal. Because I have several smokers, I rarely need it, but if you live in a hi-rise or a dorm, it can bring some of the outdoor flavor indoors as we did in our indoor ribs recipe.
If you are among the haters, please note that it is made by a distillation process similar to making whiskey, so back away from the bar and put down that single malt, pahdna. In fact, it is made in a similar manner to making barbecue!
As shown in the illustration from Colgin, hardwood sawdust or chips are heated in a tank until they smolder but not burn (1). The gases and particles are cooled so that they condense and liquefy usually with the help of water (2 - 3). It is then refined (5 - 11) and filtered (12) to remove impurities, and then aged in oak barrels (14). This is, in fact, similar to the way smoke flavors food. It condenses on the food which is cooler than the smoke. You can read more about the process in my article on wood and smoke.
Above are three beer cans I painted white. The one on the left was filled with ice water and the middle one was empty. They both went into a smoker for about an hour. The one on the right sat on my desk. As you can see, smoke is attracted to cool surfaces, a process called thermophoresis.
I asked the AmazingRibs.com science advisor Prof. Greg Blonder to describe the differences between smoke vapors and liquid smoke. He said "Wood combustion smoke contains hundreds of chemical compounds. A few with sweet pronounced caramel notes, others smoky and clean like an autumn campfire, but many are bitter and acrid. Some are carcinogenic and others antibacterial and others act as a preservative. Most of the smoke is in the form of gases that cannot be captured and bottled in liquid form, or rapidly degrade into flavorless molecules. Enough stable smoke compounds are either water or oil soluble and they can be condensed, filtered, and washed out of the smoke and then sold by the bottle.
"Liquid smoke, at least the better grades, is designed to minimize bitter flavors and known carcinogenic compounds, while maximizing smoke-like flavor and color. Because liquid smoke contains only a subset of all the combustion products produced in a wood fire, and in different proportions, the bottled flavor is not a perfect reproduction of a fire pit. However, combined with herbs, spices, sauces, and even charred veggies, the results can be close to real barbecue."
Liquid smoke is quite strong and if you wish to use it in a sauce or slow cooker, add just a few drops at a time. There are two major brands, Colgin and Wright's. Colgin adds water, vinegar, molasses, caramel coloring, and salt. Wright's adds only water to most of its flavors, but the applewood flavor also contains apple and maple flavors. There are noticeable taste differences between them, and we slightly prefer Wright's. Can you tell the difference between foods flavored with liquid smoke and with vaporous smoke? Yes. But I'll bet there are people who prefer the liquid smoke! Here's a link to the different liquid smokes on Amazon.

This shirt is very cool,comfortable & pretty!
I have been wearing UA for over 10 years and have to say this is not UA quality that I'm used to. I have worn this shirt twice, washed twice (I hang dry) and it looks like I've had it for a year. I will not be buying anymore of the Streaker line. I with we had the utility material like the males do, that is holding up amazingly! (Hint hint UA).
Comes to a decent length and looks cute. Dries quickly. It's a bit transparent (the pink one) and you can see your sport bra through, but I like that about the shirt. I'm 5'10", 158 lbs and it's long enough in medium size. I'd buy this shirt again.

Alexander: Coping with the desolation, and silence, of empty seats
Players who use the roar of the crowd to generate energy and get themselves pumped up now are on their own
Due to the Coronavirus Pandemic fans aren't allowed at the ball park, but for a price fans can have their picture or a picture of their pet placed in a seat in the stadium with proceeds going to charity. They expect to have around 10,000 fan cut outs in the seats when they are finished at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on Thursday, August 6, 2020. (Photo by Keith Birmingham, Pasadena Star-News/ SCNG)
By Jim Alexander | jalexander@scng.com | The Press-Enterprise
As we watch on TV, high-level games in empty stadiums and arenas almost seem normal now. If you squint, and if you forget that the crowd noise is artificial, not much seems amiss.
But to a player, it's still weird. With no fans, and thus no cheers or boos, the charged up atmosphere and the adrenalin it creates no longer exist. Generating that energy has become a DIY endeavor.
Kind of like the old days on the sandlot, but with much more at stake.
"At some point, you play a football game growing up like that," the Rams' Cooper Kupp said back in April before it became pretty well certain that games without spectators would be the new normal. "You might have had your parents watching, but that was it. There wasn't crowd noise. There wasn't any of that. So part of this all has a nostalgic feeling to it, that, I don't know, you're back to just playing ball, which it should be all the time."
Operating without the roar of the crowd may be the greatest challenge in a world where home field, home ice or home court is now essentially meaningless, and the players and teams who navigate this best will succeed. That may especially be true in the NBA's bubble, which shrinks the game to its basic elements and gave us two 8-over-1 upsets Tuesday night, Orlando (20 miles from its home arena) over Milwaukee and Portland over the Lakers.
"That's part of the great challenge of the bubble, finding out how you can create your own energy and how you can create your own sense of urgency that comes with playing in front of 15,000 or 16,000 fans and having that built-in adrenalin already there," ' Alex Caruso said before the Lakers' series began.
"That's been one of the things that I've been trying to focus on for the last couple seeding games and then the last couple weeks or so, just focusing on how I could get myself to play at the highest level possible with just two teams on the court."
The Lakers don't have that wave of noise that a fully engaged Staples Center crowd can give them at key moments. Likewise, the Dodgers have lost a home-field edge – edginess, actually – that in recent years has made their ballpark a very tough environment for a visiting team, which may be a surprise to all those out-of-towners who still believe the "arrive late, leave early" trope about L.A.
"I mean, it's real," manager Dave Roberts noted in an interview last year. "That noise that comes in the eighth and ninth inning when we present stress to the pitcher, you feel that pitcher tighten up … You look back the last few years at home, what we've done, and a lot of it is a byproduct of pitchers not throwing strikes. And I think it's because the fans have a lot to do with it, too."
That helps explain why the Dodgers have played .646 ball at home from 2016-19 (214-111), and why their run differential in the Ravine last year was a whopping plus-170. Still, even with louder artificial crowd noise than most parks, and with Dieter Ruehle still on the organ and DJ Severe still handling the walkup music, it's not the same.
"Man, it's hard," reliever Kenley Jansen said earlier this month on a Zoom conference. "I'm not gonna lie about that. Either fans are cheering you, or they're booing you and you come out there and shut it down. It's so much easier to pitch when there's fans in the stands … That's the one thing you don't feel, how when you come in (to a game) Dodger Stadium's shaking. But you just gotta go through it."
"Don't try to find it, to dig in to find that adrenalin," he said. "Just let it happen. That's all."
Not everyone navigates that successfully. Before his pitching was shut down for the year, the Angels' Shohei Ohtani had acknowledged he had difficulty dealing with pitching in an empty stadium. Hansel Robles, who lost his closer's role with the Angels, has had similar issues while pitching before only cutouts, and Dodger reliever Pedro Baéz seems to have struggled with it as well.
"We have to manufacture a lot on our own that fans normally bring to bear on a daily basis," Angels manager Joe Maddon said earlier this season. "I think it's fair to say that. I'll also say this: It just seems that the ends of these games that get kind of tight, with or without fans, feel kind of normal … As it gets in the tighter moments, you're not even concerned about fans or no fans. When the games kind of get slow sometimes is that I think you're really aware of it even more."
Bob Corb, a clinical psychologist and retired director of the UCLA sports psychology program, said much of the response and reaction depends on the individual athlete, and his or her inner strength and belief.
And he noted there's an incongruity here.
"Sports like basketball or football, where the crowd – especially in basketball – is right there, right beside you, courtside, screaming and yelling, all your career you've tried to focus on how to keep them out of your head," he said. "Now all of a sudden they're not in your head and you miss them. It's kind of ironic: You finally got what you wanted, but it's not the way you wanted it."
Coaches, in stressing attention to detail and focus on the process, can help, he said. So can leadership from a strong-willed, self-motivated individual, someone like a Michael Jordan, a Kobe Bryant or a Magic Johnson, whose desire came from within and overpowered any external factors.
"They don't care whether the gym's full or empty," he said. "They don't care if it's one-on-one or five-on-five. They're gonna beat you. They're gonna do whatever it takes."
The Lakers have one of those alpha players in LeBron James. But so do the Trail Blazers in Damian Lillard, as he demonstrated so vividly Tuesday night.
That alone makes for compelling TV.

For all the profiles we are looking for, a genuine interest in technology and the startup scene is a must!
📝 Responsibilities
Your responsibilities will depend on your background and interest areas, but all of our interns will get exposure to a number of business areas. Example tasks for our Visiting Associates:
Support Antler team and our portfolio companies with operational tasks including
Company-Building (e.g. ideation, business modeling, and strategy with our founders)
Marketing & PR (e.g. manage and grow Antler's presence in the startup ecosystem)
Recruiting (e.g. support the management of our recruiting platforms)
Help our Investment team with due diligence and other investment-related tasks
Work with our Founder Scouting team and senior leadership to execute different strategies to attract world-class founders

A new deck definitely looks very alluring but this effect can wear off all too soon if you don't take proper care of your deck. The secret lies in taking measures to take care of your deck because any wooden surface tends to lose its good qualities when it is exposed to sunlight or to extreme weather for too long. If your wooden deck is un-coated, it will deteriorate fast and unsightly stains will appear. However, if you apply coating onto your wooden deck, the coating can provide some protection to your deck, keeping it from deteriorating and staining. The best way to ensure your woodwork remains protected even before you see deterioration and staining is to act even before the problem occurs. There are many methods available to you here, both mechanical and chemical, to keep your wooden deck attractive and stain-free.
For your questions and concerns, call O'Leary and Sons. Their professional services extend from deck building and design, to fence and siding repair. They bring quality services for your outdoor space.
Take a look at some ways of actually removing any stains that might already be on your deck. First, you should try to identify the actual causes of your deck surface's discoloration and attempt to apply the right solution to the problem. Various causes include ingress of foreign matter (such as bird droppings), grease, tree saps, stains from nails and iron articles, tannis or other chemical agents, fungi, algae and fading of wood due to sunlight exposure, moisture and water. Additionally, decomposition of any original coating might be causing some stains.
Bleaches are effective at lightening deck stains. Bleaches come in a wide variety. Usually, bleaches are classified into three categories: chlorine, peroxide and oxalic acids. If you know what caused the stain, that information will be very helpful in deciding which type of bleach you should use.
Chlorine is a very strong bleach that is capable of removing or lightening just about any stain. Additionally, chlorine also kills off any moss and algae. However, chlorine can damage the wood itself if too strong a concentration is used. Chlorine can also damage the surrounding environment if you're not careful. A solution of one and a half cups per gallon of water is usually best here.
Peroxide bleaches come in two types: A and B and a combination of both of these bleaches should be used for best results. If you use them individually, they won't work. The combination of the two is very effective at removing pigment stains, but they are not the best at dealing with stains caused by dyes.
Oxalic acid is an effective solution for removing stains due to oxidation. For example, a black spot caused by contact with water upon the wood can be dealt with using oxalic acids. Water has iron while wood has tannic acids. When the iron in water comes into contact with the tannic acids in the wood, this results to black spots. We might also see these black spots form around nails or other fasteners as contact with water results in a black ring. Oxalic acid is best for lightening the effects of weather exposure on the wooden deck.
Call O'Leary and Sons today to schedule a consultation and get the deck repair paint colorado springs of your dreams!

Tony to the back again? Wow.
I've been to, probably, 20 races throughout my lifetime and only about 4 haven't been shortened by rain, delayed by rain, or had a threat of rain!
Junior is one of if not the best restrictor plate driver in nascar right now, he will be a threat to win, he is always a threat to win on plate tracks, me or you could be the crew chief and he would contend for a win. The only way he wont run well is a wreck or mechanical failure, or spins the tires again on a restart.
I was glad Logano won but still wish things had cycled around so that Jr. would have finished 9th or 10th.
Wasn't worth the time. Everyone's strageties went out the window...because of rain.

The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has issued its recommendations for changes to P2P lending regulations for loan-based crowdfunding platforms. Based on the FCA's findings it invites responses to rule changes for loan-based firms which cover proposals to:
ensure investors receive clear and accurate information about a potential investment and understand the risks involved;
ensure investors are adequately remunerated for the risk they are taking;
provide transparent and robust systems for assessing the risk, value and price of loans, and fair/transparent charges to investors; and
promote good governance and orderly business practices.

According to press accounts, the SEC recently issued dozens of subpoenas and Requests For Information seeking details about the targeted initial coin offerings. The correspondence accompanying the subpoenas and RFIs also reportedly make an unusual offer – in lieu of producing voluminous documents the subpoena recipients may voluntarily appear at the SEC's office to answer questions.

As one year has drawn to a close it is time to look forward to 2018 and our tips for the most important 5 regulatory changes for the FinTech industry in Australia.
Increased access to bank data.
The Government has announced its intention to introduce an open banking regime in Australia under which customers will have the ability to give third parties such as FinTechs access to the customer's banking data. Treasury is currently conducting a review into open banking models, with the report which was due at the end 2017 yet to be released.
Also planned to come in to effect by 1 July 2018 is mandatory comprehensive credit reporting which will give lenders access to deeper and richer sets of data on consumers to base their credit decisions on. Comprehensive credit reporting is currently voluntary.

The announcement follows the CBB's recent initiatives, which include a Regulatory Sandbox (which four companies have entered to date), in addition to the issuance of crowdfunding regulations for both conventional and Sharia compliant services.
The proposed Fintech Unit will be responsible for the approval process to participate in the Regulatory Sandbox, supervision of licensed companies' activities and operations, including cloud computing, payment and settlement systems, and monitoring technical and regulatory developments in the FinTech field.

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has announced that will begin accepting applications under its new crowd sourced funding (CSF) regime from 29 September 2017 onwards. From this date, applications can be submitted via the existing ASIC 'eLicensing' portal.
In preparation for the commencement of the CSF regime, ASIC has released an information sheet outlining:
the expected application process and timeframe; and
its approach of assessing applicants.
During the period between 29 September 2017 and 27 October 2017, ASIC will assess applications lodged on similar dates in 'batches.' Successful applications from each batch will progress broadly at the same time. Incomplete or inadequate applications lodged during this period may be refused or placed in later application batches. Applications which are lodged from 27 October 2017 onwards will be considered individually as soon as possible.

Tagged with initial coin offering, MAS, Singapore
By Judith Rinearson and Rizwan Qayyum
On August 10, 2017, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Commercial Affairs Department (CAD) jointly published a Consumer Advisory document which urged consumers to exercise due diligence before investing in digital tokens, with particular emphasis on the emergence of Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs). In Singapore, several ICOs have taken place in the past year and this has resulted in organisations raising millions of dollars in a few days since their launch.
An ICO is a crowdfunding method, facilitated by blockchain, through which a project or venture, usually a start-up organisation, raises funding by creating and selling its own digital asset, currency or token in exchange for digital currencies or assets of immediate value such as a Bitcoin. The practice is thus far unregulated and enables a new brand of alternative finance. An ICO campaign 'runs' for a defined period during which investors are able to support the project, with the aspiration that this digital asset becomes successful and their investment reaps profit.
Tagged with Dubai
On 1 August, the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) launched its regulatory framework for loan and investment-based crowdfunding platforms, the first such framework in a Gulf Cooperation Council country. The regulations aim to ensure clear governance for FinTech businesses and provide appropriate protection for their customers. They also formalise the DFSA's approach to regulating crowdfunding platforms which had operated through interim arrangements since 2016. The framework has not been officially released as yet so we will publish a link to the regulations when available.
