According to a circular published in the official newspaper of the Mexican government on 10th September, banks delivering crypto-related services and crypto exchanges are now required to obtain permits from the Bank of Mexico (Banxico).
The letter explains that the new rules were in line with Mexican laws pertaining to the regulation of financial technology institutions. The goal is to allow growth and innovation in the sector while preventing the associated risks.
In order to continue promoting the proper functioning of payment systems and the sound development of the financial system, as well as the protection of public interests, it is convenient to establish a regulatory framework that, on the one hand, allow the development of innovation in the payment services of the country, in such a way that the benefits of the efficiency that the electronic payment funds institutions can contribute to the provision of payment services are exploited and, at the same time, it establishes conditions adequate to mitigate the risks associated with such services.
The document, which was directed at institutions engaged in the transfer of electronic funds and titled, "General provisions for operations related to electronic payment funds", clearly spelled out the requirements businesses engaged in cryptocurrency activities have to meet.
Companies seeking the permit will have to provide a comprehensive business plan describing their operations, the fees they will be charging for their services and how they intend to go about meeting Know-Your-Customer (KYC) laws.
Specific regulations aimed at limiting money laundering and other illegal activities were also included in the circular. For example, customers of banks are not to be allowed to make crypto purchases on the same day their accounts are created. The KYC rules also require banks and crypto exchanges to identify all clients who perform cryptocurrency transactions. Furthermore, extra verifications have to be done when transferring crypto assets to beneficiaries.
The Cryptonoticias, a Mexican cryptocurrency news website, reported that the institutions affected by the new regulations were given the choices of applying by 11th September or in March 2019 after new fintech laws were passed.
The step taken by Mexican government ndicate that it is following the lead of the U.S, EU, Japan, andSouth Korea instudying the crypto landscape to produce regulations that are aimed at allowing innovation while limiting illegal activity.

Body mass index may not be the best indicator of our health – how can we improve it?
By Dr Karen Coulman, Research Fellow (NIHR Clinical Lectureship), and Dr Sarah Sauchelli Toran, Senior Research Associate, at the University of Bristol and the NIHR Bristol BRC Nutrition, Diet and Lifestyle theme.
Their article was originally published in The Conversation, 29 July 2020.
Body mass index or BMI has long been the standard for measuring health. The simple formula is widely used to classify whether our weight falls within a "healthy" range for our height. BMI provides an estimate of a person's overall disease risk, and is used around the world to measure obesity.
But BMI has come under criticism because it can be inaccurate in estimating body fat and doesn't provide a full picture of a person's health. Research also shows that relying on BMI alone to predict a person's risk of health problems can be misleading.
The formula for calculating BMI was first invented in 1832 by Belgian mathematician and astronomer Adolphe Quetelet. To calculate it, you divide weight in kilograms by height in metres squared (kg/m2). In adults, BMI is categorised as follows:
BMI categories to define weight status. Sarah Sauchelli Toran and Karen Coulman, Author provided
BMI is a quick, easy, and cheap way of diagnosing overweight or obesity needing only a weight and height measurement. Since obesity carries an increased risk of disease, including heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, BMI can identify those at greater risk of developing health problems. It's also sometimes used to make decisions about who gets certain treatments, and to evaluate how effective certain weight loss interventions are.
But BMI alone doesn't give a full picture of a person's health risk, as it's simply a measure of body size – not of disease or health. BMI doesn't actually measure body fat, a key element when establishing health risk. Although it provides a rough indication of body fat, it doesn't distinguish between weight coming from fat versus muscle.
High-performance athletes – such as rugby players or sprinters – would be classified as "overweight" or "obese" by their BMI because of their greater muscle mass. Looking at BMI alone would make it appear athletes are at a similar risk of the same health problems as someone who's overweight – even though research shows active people have better cholesterol, blood pressure, and lower blood sugar levels than someone who's inactive.
BMI also doesn't tell us anything about where body fat is distributed. Body fat stored around the abdomen (an "apple" shape) poses a greater health risk than body fat stored around the hips. This "apple" shape is associated with an increased likelihood of developing metabolic syndrome. This is a combination of related conditions – such as high blood pressure, high blood glucose, and high cholesterol levels – all of which increase the risk of heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes.
BMI categories are also somewhat arbitrary. A study of 13,601 adults showed the prevalence of obesity was much lower when defining obesity using BMI instead of body fat percentage. Using BMI categories, less people were found to have obesity – though many would have been diagnosed as such because of their body fat percentage.
These categories may be even less accurate in predicting health risks in people from ethnic minority backgrounds and older age groups. For example, Asian people are at greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes and heart disease at lower BMIs than Caucasian people. This may be due to a higher body fat percentage at similar BMIs, and/or a greater tendency to store fat around the abdomen.
Research also shows that in adults aged 65 and over, having a BMI within the "overweight" category wasn't associated with a greater risk of death whereas a BMI below 23 was. So normal ranges may not work well for predicting health risks in older people.
People can also have a "normal" BMI but have an increased risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes, depending on factors such as their blood pressure or body fat distribution. Measuring waist circumference and body fat percentage may be more useful in such cases.
Reliable, affordable and accurate indicators of health status are important. BMI is easy to measure and provides a rough estimate of disease risk. But while it's a good starting point, BMI needs to be used alongside other measurements to get a fuller picture of a person's unique health risk. Lifestyle factors (such as smoking, physical activity, diet and stress levels), and blood pressure, blood sugar and blood cholesterol levels should all be considered alongside BMI to establish health risk.
Waist measurements (such as waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio) can estimate abdominal body fat – but they can be difficult to undertake and less accurate in people with a BMI higher than 35. Tools that break down body composition – such as bioelectrical impedance analysis and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry – work better. But these can be very expensive, time-consuming and complex to use – and wouldn't be practical for everyday use by GPs.
Staging tools may provide a more tailored assessment of health risk and early death in people living with obesity. These are scoring systems which take into account metabolic, physical and psychological health to classify health risk. They're designed to be used alongside BMI to identify people who would benefit most from weight management interventions.
While BMI provides a convenient and simple tool for understanding disease risk, it doesn't provide a full or entirely accurate picture of everything that influences our health. Using other measurement tools alongside BMI can provide a more complete picture of health and disease risk – and may also help guide decisions about the best health interventions to use for a specific person.

As Saint Petersburg bids a fond farewell to the Petrovsky, it remembers the fallen
08/04/2017 by Daniel Armstrong
The stickers became more frequent and thicker as I ascended the Saint Petersburg metro escalator, forming a static conveyor belt of lurid decorations. They were emblazoned with caricatures of hooded young men clutching flares and wearing garishly coloured tracksuit tops, trainers and seductively menacing grins. The figures posed next to slogans: "Our name is Zenit" read one.
Although each sticker told its own layered story, they were unanimous in the unmistakable message they harboured which rang loud from the silent scribbles: "This is Zenit, This is Our Patch."
Walking out of Sportivnaya metro station, in the city's north-west, the air carried from the Neva River struck my lungs. Smatterings of people in sky blue and crisp white scarves scurried toward swathes of police forming lines ahead of chunky, armoured trucks. Bleating matchday programme sellers were heard among the chants of "Forward Zenit, Forward for Petersburg'. This was matchday in Saint Petersburg.
It was September 2013 and, as a fresh-faced 22-year-old, I was beginning my study year abroad and had decided to fill the vacant weekends that came as a byproduct of being unable to watch Manchester United by watching local side Zenit Saint Petersburg. That day they were home in the league to Terek Grozny.
I'd been in Russia a week and had become acquainted with some of the breathtaking scenery the city had to offer. The history of Russia's one-time capital is intriguing. Built by Peter the Great in 1703, it was intended to be the gateway to Europe and leans to the west in more ways than simply geography. Peter travelled as far as Holland, Denmark and even Manchester to learn craft techniques before creating Saint Petersburg; the result is a city sculpted by the man's idiosyncrasies, each building carrying an insight into the mind of a pioneer craftsman.
One quirk that made its way from the very practice of building to the present day is ingrained in local vernacular: if a Petersburger invites you for drink, they will deftly raise their chin to one side and flick a finger into their neck. This originated from when builders working on the who were paid in drink and would point to a stamp on their neck when ordering in the city's watering holes to verify their authenticity.
Going to watch Zenit threw up the opportunity to visit a further landmark less celebrated, but no less spectacular – the Petrovsky stadium. Accessible only by bridge and nestled almost precariously into a meander of the Malaya Neva River on the city's north-west Petrograd district, the ground holds a shade over 21,500 and hosts Zenit home games.
Although the city's architecture itself is influenced by European elements, the stadium is rudimentarily Russian. It was built 1925, the same year as Zenit's inception, three years after the creation of the USSR and one year after the death of Lenin, with the Soviet Union taking its first steps under Stalinist rule. The ground, like the country, has undergone several reconstructions since; it was annihilated during World War II, rebuilt and then rebuilt again for the 1980 Olympics.
Its current form carries a quintessential Soviet sporting feel, as if you've been transported back to the times of short shorts, tight perms and 'taches, of gymnasts in dusty gymnasiums and chain-smoking coaches.
Walking up to the ground on a clear September day, through the tangle of police and towards the bridge that leads from the island on the island, it is easy to be overawed by the beauty of the Petrovsky. Glistening, clear water almost seems to cradle the ground. It flows just feet away from short, sandy walls that hold brilliantly blue seats separated from the pitch by a strip of running track. The four floodlights that tower in each 'corner' of the oval resemble oversized versions of early satellite television aerials.
Read | A World of Ultras: Zenit Saint Petersburg
By the time I made it into the ground, the atmosphere was electric. Groups of fans at opposing ends of the ground were organised by one loan drummer at the foot of the stand, beating out orders to rhythmically shout, sway and goad one another into more raucous support. The ground was bubbling when Aleksandr Kerzhakov put Zenit 1-0 up on 21 minutes, intensifying further when captain Danny netted a second minutes before half-time. The score stayed the same to send Chechen side Terek, whose chairman at the time was Head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov, the 2,500km back home without anything to show for their travels.
Petrovsky stadium ranked worthily alongside the jewels of Saint Petersburg's skyline. It could well keep the company of famous Petersburg landmarks like Isaakievskiy Sobor, the Church of the Saviour on Spilled Blood and Kazan Cathedral but would hardly ever be named in a travel guide.
Nevertheless, it is a stunning setting that has provided a stage to five Russian title-winning sides and the team that won the 1944 Soviet Cup, the first since football in the USSR was suspended due to the outbreak of war and the same year the Siege of Leningrad finally ceased, which had ravaged the city and its citizens.
On 8 April, the club will bid farewell to the Petrovsky. Zenit were finally given the green light to move to the68,000 Stadium Saint Petersburg on Krestovsky Island, whose name conjured nothing of the emotions and imagery Petrovsky does, but is at least still in keeping with tradition in being situated on an island. The game against Anzhi Makhachkala will be the last.
Petrovsky is just one nugget of Petersburg identity that runs deep into its denizens, hardened through generations that lived through communism, war, a siege and witnessed the fall of the USSR and the rise of Russia. Many in Saint Petersburg consider themselves to live in the country's cultural capital, a place ahead of the rigid curve set by Moscow in terms of the arts, music and fashion, and prides itself on a liberal outlook and vibrancy.
Identity becomes important when those with a birth year before the fall of Soviet rule in 1991 were born when their town and country had different names to what they are now. When titles cease to have importance, ethos assumes primary importance.
This unique character shone through when a blast ripped through the metro in early-April, killing 14 people and injuring dozens more. The city united in the face of terror and strangers offered the needy water, food and shelter. It was a cruel blow to a city that has been through its fair share of hardship, but it was not one that would shake it, not one that would defeat it.
In a commendable, touching act, Zenit pledged to donate the proceeds of tickets sold for the game against Anzhi – which were intentionally increased in price due to the occasion – to the victims of the blast. Zenit players travelled to the site of the tragedy in hoodies with the hashtag 'You Will Not Break Us' in Russian on the front. The message was different from those stickers on the metro wall, but it still represented an important side of the club, the only club in the city.
Both the club and the city will say goodbye to an iconic piece of architecture after that game against Anzhi. On an occasion shrouded by tragedy, it will also remember those who perished. As new life begins and Zenit look forward to a new era, the past and a place to remember will be left at the Petrovsky, such an integral part of the city's identity, and into which the club will engrave the memory of those fallen forever.

The National Transportation Safety Board and the National Safety Council will host an expert panel and roundtable from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 27, at the NTSB Board Room and Conference Center, 429 L'Enfant Plaza, S.W., Washington, D.C.
The event, Reaching Zero Crashes: A Dialogue on the Role of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, will be streamed via live webcast. The link to the webcast will be available shortly before the event begins.
Motor vehicle crashes continue to be a leading cause of preventable death in the United States, and they are on the rise. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, motor vehicle fatalities were more than 7% higher in 2015 than 2014 – the highest year-over-year percentage increase in 50 years. All of these deaths were preventable. Advanced driver-assist technologies can play a significant role in saving lives.
The NTSB and NSC have identified the need for a broader discussion on ADAS as the driving landscape shifts and vehicles of all types are increasingly equipped with technologies that can save lives but also confuse drivers. On Oct. 27, the NTSB and NSC will convene researchers, government officials, media, associations and industry leaders to discuss these issues.

Q: Best method to calculate the characteristic polynomial Is there a "gold" standard for computing the characteristic polynomial of a given $n \times n$ matrix in finite precision arithmetic on a computer?
There are fast methods running in $O(n^3)$ or even $O(n^\omega)$ :

*

*An $O(n^3)$ algorithm for the Frobenius normal form by Storjohann

*Nearly optimal algorithms for canonical matrix forms by Giesbrecht

*Fast algorithms for the characteristics polynomial by Keller-Gehrig

These algorithms are quite fast but were developed for finite fields and require randomness and matrix inversion, which in finite precision arithmetic can cause numerical problems.
On the other hand there is the Faddeev-Leverrier algorithm which only requires matrix multiplication but runs in time $O(n^4)$.
Does anyone have experience using these algorithms for numerical calculations?

Oliver Platt holds court at the Apple Store.
One of the great things about the Tribeca Film Festival is that most of the movies in the lineup aren't bloated studio blockbusters with millions of dollars of marketing budget to burn (tough break, Michael Bay). They're smaller independent films that rely on word of mouth and dedicated tub-thumping stars to get the buzz going, which ultimately results in cool events where said tub-thumping stars mingle with the public and promote the everliving crap out of their movie.
That's exactly what happened at the Apple Store in SoHo last night, as recognizable actors Oliver Platt (A Time to Kill), Rebecca Hall (Vicky Cristina Barcelona), Thomas Ian Nicholas (American Pie) and acclaimed writer-director Nicole Holofcener (Friends With Money) gathered to chat about their new flick, Please Give, as part of TFF's "Meet the Filmmakers" series.

Amazon Kindle Oasis Ergonomic E-Reader, 7-Inch
Last updated date: January 18, 2022
Our E-Reader Buying Guide
Our E-Reader Tip and Advice
We looked at the top E-Readers and dug through the reviews from some of the most popular review sites. Through this analysis, we've determined the best E-Reader you should buy.
Update as January 13, 2022:
Checkout The Best E-Reader for a detailed review of all the top e-readers.
This e-reader has a bigger screen than some other models and a sturdier aluminum casing. An ambient light sensor automatically adjusts brightness for easy reading in different lighting conditions.
In our analysis of 95 expert reviews, the Amazon Kindle Oasis Ergonomic E-Reader, 7-Inch placed 6th when we looked at the top 16 products in the category. For the full ranking, see below.
No more soggy pages with the Kindle Oasis—it's IPX8 rated to protect against immersion in up to two meters of fresh water for up to 60 minutes. And it's built to withstand getting splashed at the beach or dropped in the bathtub, hot tub, or pool.
12 expert reviews
Combines amazing 300 ppi high resolution display,sleek design, effortless page turn feature and adjustable built in light.
The new Kindle Oasis maintains its slim design while adding a sturdier aluminum back and a larger 7-inch, high-resolution E Ink screen. I
Amazon has added water-resistance to the Oasis' list of features. An IPX8 rating means the Kindle Oasis (2017) will happily survive being submerged in water for two hours – which is more than most phones boasting an IP67/8 rating.
- Trusted Reviews
October 1, 2018 | Full review
Unlike its predecessor, the Kindle Oasis (2017) doesn't just do ebooks – it also works with Audible audiobook titles. If you use the audiobook service from Amazon you'll be able to listen to them on your Oasis with the use of Bluetooth headphones or a speaker.
I appreciated the bigger display, which could fit more text on one page, meaning fewer page turns were required per chapter. It's still as beautifully crisp and easy to read, and now has automatic front-light adjustment.
There's also an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts brightness, like most modern phones. As you'd imagine, text on the Oasis looks crisp, and I particularly like the fact that the display is flush with the body. You'll also be able to invert the colors — turn the background black and the text white, making it easier on your eyes at night.

The metal case also has some surprisingly sharp edges around the edges. It's not the sort of thing that could cut you, but it makes some noticeable impressions on your skin when you hold it for a while.
October 31, 2017 | Full review
Audiobook integration works perfectly.
- Wired
Amazon says the 2017 Oasis can run for up to six weeks on a single charge, assuming a half-hour of reading each day. Reading on our test unit for an hour or two a day over the course of a week, with Wi-Fi on, the battery still hasn't dipped below three-quarters of a charge.
- PC World
Everything about this device, including its machined aluminum back, excellent automatic lighting adjustments and very well-lit screen (using 12 LEDs) screams perfection.
January 2, 2019 | Full review
The center of gravity always rests in your palm, no matter which hand you're reading with. An accelerometer rotates the page when you switch hands, and the page transitions are the fastest I've ever seen on an E Ink display.
Lighter waterproof design with flush screen.
- ARS Technical's
It's a costly model.
The big caveat is that the new Kindle Oasis doesn't come with a case.
The aluminium sides jut out slightly above the display and the edges are sharp. It's a colder, less welcoming product, and I'm not entirely sure everyone will like it.
There's no 3.5mm headphone jack, which means you won't be able to listen to audiobooks over wired headphones, and that will be disappointing for some people.
Expensive alternative way to consume books that may fit better with your commuting patterns
The device lacks a headphone jack, you'll have to pair a Bluetooth speaker or headphones to the device to listen to your favorite audiobooks.
The new Oasis is also the first Kindle with Audible support built in. To listen to audiobooks, though, you have to connect the e-reader to a Bluetooth speaker or headphones. While it sounds like a practical feature on paper, though, I found it to be pretty pointless.
Oasis comes with one big downside, which in some ways undoes its wonder wherever-whenever-however vibe: It's just too big.
Exposure to larger amounts of liquid causes false screen taps to be registered
Oasis does not support immersion reading. You can read your book, or you can have the Kindle read to you through your Bluetooth speakers, but you can't do both.
Kindle doesn't support all e-book file formats.

An Overview On E-Readers
E-readers have changed the way people consume books, magazines and articles. Instead of choosing between one or two physical books to bring with you on vacation, you can bring hundreds of options along in one sleek device. E-books tend to be cheaper than paperbacks, so it's less expensive to expand your mind and check out new authors and titles. They're also environmentally friendly; downloading e-books instead of buying hardcover books saves plenty of paper and cardboard.
The popularity of e-readers has spawned a large industry of digital reading devices, and finding the right one for your needs requires some research. One of the first questions you'll want to ask yourself is how you plan to use your e-reader, and whether you might benefit from purchasing a tablet that can double as your e-reader, says technology expert Molly Thornberg, a parenting and tech blogger.
"Basic e-readers allow just reading. These are great for focused reading, and for kids," says Thornberg, the brains behind the Digital Mom Blog. "More advanced e-readers are typically tablets offering more options like web browsing and a music player."
Understanding the technology behind e-readers can also help you make your decision. E-readers take e-book files and make them accessible to readers by storing them on a small computer. Their optimized portability, readability and battery life make them great literary companions. Many models today are designed for easy reading in sunlight.
Staring at a computer screen to catch up on your reading list might sound like a headache, but e-reader technology reduces eye strain. Large screens, backlights and adjustable fonts and text sizes all make ebooks easier to read than ever.
Before you buy, you'll want to consider whether you prefer an e-reader experience that closely mirrors the one you'd have with a regular book, or whether you're up for a more lively display.
"E-readers offer either e-ink (electronic ink) or LCD display," says Thornberg. "E-ink offers an electronic paper-like display. LCD screen displays offer color and typically more touchscreen capabilities. Some devices offer both."
Older e-readers needed to be charged regularly, but newer models have extended battery lives for more reading freedom. The Kindle Oasis can go weeks without a charge, so you won't have to go hunting for power outlets at stops on your next road trip.
If audiobooks are more your speed, you can still listen to them on some e-readers. The Kindle Oasis and Waterproof Kindle Paperwhite are compatible with Audible, a massive library of audiobooks and original content.
You don't need to worry about squinting to make out the words on your e-reader's screen, either. The Pixels Per Inch (or PPI) of modern e-readers eclipses their predecessors.
Thornberg says you'll also want to consider what e-book stores and libraries your new e-reader will have access to as well.
The E-Reader Buying Guide
Will you be traveling a lot with your e-reader? If you regularly jet set for work or play, you'll want an ultra-portable e-reader that fits easily in a carry-on bag.
How frequently do you plan on using your e-reader? All four of our top picks have improved battery life over their predecessors. They can go for "weeks" without a charge, but that's dependent on how frequently you use them. Give your e-reader's battery life a test run at home before you take it on any long trips.
E-readers can download books via WiFi or over your cellular network. Downloading over your home WiFi network will save you some cash, but you'll be out of luck if you want to check out a new title on the go. Using a cellular network is convenient, but the data charges might drive up your cellular bill. Talk to your network provider before you dive into this option, and make sure you budget accordingly for your bookworm habit.
How many e-books, audiobooks and graphic novels do you plan on reading? You'll need more memory if you want an extensive collection. The Kindle Oasis comes in 8 GB or 32 GB versions, while the Kobo Clara HD 6-Inch Touchscreen E-Reader comes with 8 GB of built-in memory.
What type of controls are you most comfortable with? Touchscreen controls are effortless. However, some older e-readers still use buttons to help you scroll through pages.

3 Secrets of Successful Midlife Reinvention
Author Mark S. Walton made these discoveries while interviewing some remarkable men and women
By Mark S. WaltonApril 30, 2012
By Mark S. Walton
Credit: courtesy of Mark S. Walton
A half-dozen years ago — when I was in my mid-50s, with two successful careers under my belt — I set out to settle some questions that friends, colleagues, clients and I had begun to wrestle with:
After a career of 20, 30 or 40 years, am I a done deal?
Is it true that success is a younger person's game?
Might I have talents or brainpower that I'm unaware of?
Can I make money and make a difference doing something I love?
Many people I knew around my age had already seen their previously "invulnerable" jobs, companies and even industries derailed by technological or global change. Others had grown restless or burned out in their businesses or professions. A few had "flunked retirement," finding the so-called golden years mind-numbingly boring.
With the onset of the Great Recession, even the most fortunate among us found that our financial nest eggs and long-term plans were much shakier than we had ever imagined.
Although we arrived at this conclusion in different ways, we all began to realize that in life's new second half — extended by medicine's miracles yet filled with unprecedented uncertainties — a bewildering new challenge was staring us in the face: What should I do next?
My 3 Discoveries About Reinvention
Crisscrossing America to interview people who had reinvented themselves and researching the latest breakthroughs in brain science, psychology, human performance, creativity and happiness for my new book, Boundless Potential, I made three life-altering discoveries about what we need to do to reinvent ourselves at midlife and beyond:
1. We need to stress our brains. In the past decade, state-of-the-art neuroscience has revealed that, after age 45 or so, our brains are programmed to generate extraordinary new creative skills and intellectual powers that were unavailable to us earlier in life.
Neuropsychiatrist Richard Restak wrote that "the brain of an older person is not inferior to that of a younger counterpart; instead, the brain of an 80-year-old is organized differently. In practical terms this means the mature brain possesses strengths and assets that it lacked decades earlier."
The secret to uncovering and unleashing these capabilities is to work our brains beyond their usual comfort level. (As one Next Avenue article explains, you can even train your brain through video games.)
2. We need to think and act entrepreneurially. A growing number of men and women are learning how to successfully leverage this inborn potential after 50. But rather than subjecting themselves to the vagaries of the job market, they're creating long-term success by inventing profitable new careers, businesses and avenues for social impact that can — and do —extend well into their 70s, 80s, even 90s.
In Boundless Potential, I tell the tale of Mark Goldsmith, who had retired from his career as a sales and general manager in the cosmetics and beauty industry and was climbing the walls. But at 74, after spending a few years mentoring former prisoners from Rikers Island on his own, Goldsmith launched a nonprofit — Getting Out and Staying Out — that offers job-readiness training and employment assistance to current and former Rikers inmates. Goldsmith told me: "If you find a passion or a direction, you have to get out there and try something. After you think about it, then go out and begin."
3. We need to "pay it forward." Longevity experts are increasingly convinced that doing the kind of work that "pays it forward" to future generations also pays us back through our own long-term health and happiness.
My Boundless Potential interviews with men and women who reinvented themselves confirmed this.
For instance, Marion Rosen, a former Berkeley, Calif., physical therapist who started a tiny therapeutic training group when she was in her mid-60s, continued successfully spreading the "Rosen Method" to 17 counties over the next three decades.
Not long before she died at 97, Rosen, who had escaped Nazi Germany in her mid-20s, told me: "I always feel when you have a potential, you really have to use it. We all have potential inside of us. When we are at the height of our knowledge and the height of our lives, why give that up? Why should we not use what we have gotten in 60, 70 or more years and hand it on to where it is wanted?"
Mark S. Walton is chairman of the Center for Leadership Communication, an education and communication enterprise with a focus on leadership and exceptional achievement at every stage of life. He is a leadership educator, management adviser, and award-winning journalist (CNN's first chief White House correspondent) whose work has spanned nearly four decades. His most recent book is Boundless Potential: Transform Your Brain, Unleash Your Talents, Reinvent Your Work in Midlife and Beyond (McGraw-Hill, 2012).

The Love That Moves the Sun and All the Stars
« From the Himalayas to the Heartland
#2022, #SouthsideSaturday, Contemporary Art
https://mouprojects.com/exhibitions/the-love-that-moves-the-sun-and-all-the-stars/
MOU PROJECTS
Gong Bin
MOU PROJECTS (formerly known as MINE PROJECT) is pleased to present "The Love That Moves the Sun and All the Stars," the solo exhibition by Chinese artist Gong Bin (b. 1992, Yiyang, China). The show features 11 paintings that depict the merging and collision among the fantastic worlds imagined, traversed, and mapped by the artist. Taking the visceral, relatable, and truthful experiences in life as a departure point, the exhibited works harbor intimate and irreducible universes. It is the artist's first solo exhibition with the gallery as well as in Hong Kong.
Venturing out in colors, Gong paints in an introspective mode, which for him resembles a "spiritual odyssey." In his paintings, images and imagery originate from his mindscape, where memories, imagination, and dreams interweave and coalesce. Drawing visual metaphors and analogies from fairy tales, fiction, poems, and recalled personal experiences, Gong's works resist the constricting—and at times misleading—assumptions of realism and reality. Without referencing photographs, his painting process reveals an active meditation on the nature of memory, which negates, encompasses, slows down, and simultaneously intensifies the flow of experience.
From the sienna-hued horizon that vanishes beyond the playful hills in Banana Valley (all works 2022), to the road that leads to a heart-shaped cloud alongside the magenta mountain in The Dusk of Valentine's Day, some of the depicted scenarios are constructed and distorted based on the artist's childhood memories, while others are completely fictional yet resemble real-life scenes. Situated within the expansive landscape fabricated by Gong, an array of irregular geometries scattered across different canvases looms large; their ambiguous shapes linger between rocks, figures, or other indescribable beings, which seem bewildered yet curious, lost yet adventurous. Passing by a succession of painted, fictive terrains in the exhibition, one feels enveloped in the pictorial world, almost detached from reality, and is only provided with visual hints to guide oneself out of the magical, vibrant labyrinth embedded in Gong's works.
Driven by an urge to illustrate the intensity and depth of emotions, Gong activates various dramatic emotions in his paintings for viewers to empathize with. In a warm and expansive manner, he narrates stories about hope, romance, daydreaming, poetics, and elation with vivid imagery. On his canvases, a neon orange smoke comes out of Aladdin's lamp (Miracle); an oasis uprooted from the desert is placed under the luminous aurora (Oasis); a boy incarnates as a tree made of dark purple clouds (Boy). Together, the paintings present myriad worlds that lure and prompt viewers to imagine the marvelous probabilities of numerous narratives. In the paintings' most expressive and sublime moments, viewers are permitted to love with no peril, to experience with no constraint, and to partake in where they are not and may never be.
As abstractness frees him from the need to comment on or imitate some versions of reality, Gong hopes to provide a sense of comfort and solace in an alternative world, where excitement can be dug up in barren lands. More than merely offering a temporary escape from the chaos of reality, Gong's works eventually lead one back to reality with a more informed, attentive, and enriched understanding of human emotions. In his effort to discover love, in all its possibilities, Gong finds a way to translate and sublimate the often deemed abstract and intangible things into the shimmering colors and dynamic shapes on canvases for us to stargaze at.
Gong Bin (b. 1992, Yiyang, China) seeks for an escapist mentality in his practice, hoping to capture and deliver a sense of solace with his works. Melding expressive colors and semi-abstract shapes, Gong's vibrant, playful paintings depict imagined scenes and landscape. With a background in illustration and printmaking, he is interested in the possible narrative connections between images, which transform his oeuvre into a visual labyrinth of romantic puzzles. Often naming his works after poems, characters, and fabricated locales, Gong animates and enlivens the objects and beings encapsulated within the vast, expansive environment on his canvases, endowing them with varied personas as well as the capability to love and be loved.
Gong received his BFA in Illustration from the Hubei Institute of Fine Arts in 2014.
The artist currently lives and works in Beijing.

Alexander Zemlinsky. Part 3: dreams and the happiness that needs to be hidden
DER ZWERG
Like no other renowned conductor, James Conlon has been an ardent advocate of the 'Entartet composers' for years. In his Cologne years (between 1989 and 2002 he was chief conductor of the Gürzenich-Orchester and artistic director of the opera) he performed and recorded almost all of Zemlinski's orchestral and vocal works. I cherish his recordings on EMI (unfortunately most of them are no longer on the market) as the greatest treasures, which they probably are.
James Conlon
In 2006, Conlon was appointed musical director of the Los Angeles opera and one of his first projects was a series of 'Recovered Voices: A Lost Generation's Long-Fortgotten Masterpieces.' The series started in 2008 with a double-bill of Ullmann's Der zerbrochene Krug and Zemlinsky's Der Zwerg. (Arthaus Music 101 528)
The idea of composing an opera about an ugly man who is in love with a beauty has haunted Zemlinsky all his life, and that's how he ended up with Oscar Wilde and his The Birthday of the Infanta.
Costume design for 'Der Zwerg' by August Haag, Cologne 1922.
On her eighteenth birthday Donna Clara receives a remarkable gift: a dwarf, who is also hideously ugly. A delightful toy for the infante, especially since the dwarf does not know he is ugly himself – he has never seen his own reflection… Donna Clara makes him fall in love with her and makes him think that she loves him too, after which she puts him in front of mirrors. He doesn't survive, but that doesn't interest the spoiled princess.
Diego Velázques: Las Meninas
The very traditional and naturalistic setting is exceptionally beautiful and the costumes are dazzling. You really think you're at the Spanish court. The whole thing looks like a painting of Velazques, breathtaking.
The execution is also breathtaking. James Johnson sings and acts an excellent Don Esteban. Mary Dunleavy has everything it takes to perform the conceited infante: she is beautiful and capricious. Her voice is silvery and childishly light. As an actress she also knows how to convince.
Rodrick Dixon sings the leading role here in an inimitable way. The only singer I ever liked better in this part was Douglas Nasrawi, whom I heard singing it during a Saturday Matinee at the Concertgebouw.
James Conlon on Ullmann's Der zerbrochene Krug conducted by him, coupled with Zemlinsky's Der Zwerg:
DER TRAUMGÖRGE
"The fairy tales must become reality," sings Görge, after his dream has been laughed at by the farmers and his fiancée Grete. And so it happens: Görge finds his dreamed princess in the form of Gertraud, cast out by the farmers, and his dream comes true.
Zemlinski has provided the story of Görge the dreamer and his search for the unattainable ideal with music of touching beauty. Sehnsucht, shimmering eroticism, symbolism …. You name it and you'll find it. The work reminds me strongly of Szymanowski's Król Roger, the same long, spun-out lines in the soprano aria, the same overwhelming choral parts, swelling orchestra. I love it.
Der Traumgörge (Leo Feld's libretto after Richard von Volkmann-Leander's fairytale 'Vom unsichtbaren Königreich' and Heine's poem 'Der arme Peter') was meant by Zemlinsky as a tribute to his then beloved Alma. Due to circumstances, the opera was never performed during his lifetime; the first – considerably shortened – performance only took place in 1980.
Set design by Alfred Roller for 'Der Traumgörge'. Vienna Court Opera 1907
The first complete recording from 1999 proves that the music is not to blame. The Cologne orchestra conducted by James Conlon alone deserves an A-plus and the soloists are absolutely sublime.
David Kuebler plays a beautiful Görge with a radiant height. His voice mixes the right amount of metal with sottovoce, which is necessary for this role.
Patricia Racette, then still a great unknown, is unearthly beautiful as Gertraud (her velvet tones in 'Oh! Ich wil zu dir in die Welt' are of a Korgoldian beauty) and Andreas Schmidt has enough of a peasant to be a convincing Hans. The live recording sounds excellent.
DER KÖNIG KANDAULES
Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824-1904): 'King Candaules'.
In 1938, Zemlinsky fled to New York. His suitcase contained the unfinished opera Der könig Kandaules. Once in New York, he hoped for a performance at the Metropolitan Opera.
Unfortunately for him the libretto based on the play by André Gide (King Kandaules wants to share his happiness and [the beauty of] his wife with everyone. Encouraged by the king and helped by a ring that makes him invisible, Gyges spends one night with the queen. When she finds out what happened, she urges Gyges to kill the king, after which he himself is crowned king) was too risky for the American public. When Zemlinsky died in 1942, his opera was still unfinished.
Antony Beaumont
It was only the English musicologist and Zemlinsky biographer Antony Beaumont who completed the score. In October 1996 the opera was performed in Hamburg, with enormous success. The performance was recorded live and released on the label Capriccio (600712).
The performance, conducted by Gerd Albrecht, is without a doubt excellent and the leading roles of James O'Neal (Kandaules), Monte Pederson (Gyges) and Nina Warren (Nyssia) are very adequately cast. In the small role of Nicomedes we hear a young debutant, Mariusz Kwiecień.
In 2002 Salzburg programmed the opera and the performance was recorded live – phenomenally cast – and released on 2 CD's (Naïve 3070) in a very elaborate edition. The role of Kandaules was sung with dedication by Robert Brubacker and Wolfgang Schöne was an excellent Gyges. The Swedish Nina Stemme, who was then still in the lyrical 'fach', sang a beautiful Nyssia. The Deutsches Symphonie Orchester conducted by Kent Nagano sounds very exciting.
Our unsurpassed Saturday Matinee performed the opera in November 2007 as a concert performance, unfortunately there is no recording of it. Too bad, because the conductor Bernhard Kontarsky conducted with great dedication and Stuart Skelton and Jeanne-Michèle Charbonnet were unforgettable as the royal couple.
Gyges (or was it Zemlinsky himself?): "Der, der ein Glück hält, soll sich gut verstecken! Und besser noch, sein Glück vor Andern".

Aaron Rodgers' Emotional Response After Win Over Vikings
By Alex Ratliff January 2, 2023 Updated: January 2, 2023 No Comments3 Mins Read
Aaron Rodgers and the Packers were completely lost not too long ago. Sitting at 4-8, they were counted out by many, even Rodgers had his doubts.
The Packers season didn't start out all that bad. A 3-1 record had Packers fans thinking that their team was well on their way to another 13-win season. However, a five-game losing streak followed Green Bay's promising start. Shortly after their losing streak, the Packers found their footing once again and are currently in the midst of a four-game winning streak.
Aaron Rodgers Gives Heartfelt Response After Week 17 Win
Green Bay's fourth win in a row came against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. It was a blowout victory for the Packers, winning 41-17. Aaron Rodgers completed 15 of 24 passes for 159 yards and one passing TD. Rodgers also found the endzone using his legs, scoring a 2-yard rushing TD in the fourth quarter.
The victory over his division rival clearly meant a lot to Rodgers, not just because it was a rivalry game, but because of the all the obstacles he and his team had to overcome this season.
After the game, Rodgers was asked what the win and recent resurgence meant to him, despite all the noise and the uncertainty that looms for next season.
"It feels really special. It's been an interesting year. It hasn't been my best football at times. I've been asked to step up my leadership and be someone the guys can count on to keep it together, even when it seems like there isn't anything to play for, or we don't have a chance to make a run," Rodgers said.
"There's been a lot of special moments throughout the year, and it didn't look great for a while. I was resigned to some of those realities becoming possible. When I took my mind there, I had a peace about all of it," Rodgers continued. "Whatever was supposed to happen, I was surrendered to that reality with also having the mindset that we could still get back in this thing. I think that's what I'm most proud of for myself and our team. There were a lot of different things that could happen, and we stuck together. We put ourselves in a position to do something special."
This was one hell of an answer from The Quarterback. pic.twitter.com/gwAOTUDFW1
— Jason Wilde (@jasonjwilde) January 2, 2023
Aaron Rodgers has been through, and experienced a lot in his career. The way he and his team were able to fight back this season will be even more special for Rodgers if they reach the playoffs. The Packers control their own destiny now. A win against the Lions in Week 18 would complete an improbable run for Rodgers and the Packers.

Have a laugh with Chuck The Chook! - Koolamundo!
Laugh with Chuck The Chook!
Chickens are used all around the world as mascots and national marks. My favourite cereal has a cockerel, the athletic rooster is a sports equipment manufacture, Gallic rooster is a national symbol of France. Many international sports clubs use chickens as their logo's and as good-luck icons. Let's not forget the Pathé logo, which we constantly see at the movies. Even Sir Robin had a chicken on his shield from a famous British comedic film.
Koolamundo has a friendship series of rhyming books. All the characters on Klara's farm have a unique talent. Chuck the Chook is a special chicken that is being teased by his friends. As he mimics every sound that he hears. So, Chuck leaves the farm and meets up with his new friend Klara The Cow. She helps Chuck and he saves the day!
Beware, you might be laughing out loud! As Chuck's talent gets him into a pickle with his clever skills.

Apple Supplier Foxconn Pushed China To Ease Covid Restrictions: Report
The appeal, sent by Mr Gou in a letter more than a month ago, played a major role in convincing China's leadership to quickly reopen the economy and move away from its zero-tolerance COVID-19 policies.
Apple supplier Foxconn's founder-director Terry Gou had warned China that the government's zero-COVID stance would threaten the position of the world's second-largest economy in the global supply chain, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The appeal, sent by Mr Gou in a letter more than a month ago, played a major role in convincing China's leadership to quickly reopen the economy and move away from its zero-tolerance COVID-19 policies, the report said on Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.
Foxconn, which is the biggest assembler of iPhones, declined to comment, while Terry Gou's office did not immediately respond. China's State Council Information Office could not be immediately reached for comment.
The Taiwan-based company's Zhengzhou plant, which saw a month-long unrest in November, has lifted its "closed-loop" management curbs on Thursday.
The Zhengzhou plant had been grappling with strict COVID restrictions that fuelled discontent among workers over the factory conditions, triggering an 11.4% year-on-year drop in November revenue.
Some Wall Street analysts cut their iPhone shipment targets for the all-important holiday quarter as a result of turmoil at the major iPhone factory.
Chinese health officials and government advisers seized on Mr Gou's letter to bolster the case that the government needed to speed up its efforts to ease its tough COVID-19 controls, the report added.

Initially we expected to see Ethereum (ETH) switch to POS at some point this year, but this will most likely be delayed and no official date for the switch has been announced yet… and the interest and price of Ethereum has been going up lately once more.
You can currently get 1 MHS Ethereum cloud mining hashrate for $29.99 USD, 30 MHS for $869 USD of 100 MHS for $2799 USD as a preset packages or any custom hashrate in between with discounts for the more you purchase.

Steve Rhodes 'surprised' by T20I series win over Windies
NTV Online
Bangladesh head coach Steve Rhodes has expressed his delight after his side secured a series victory over T20I world champions Windies.
Bangladesh's tour of the West Indies began with great disappointment, losing both Test matches by heavy margins. The subsequent ODI series was successful though, where Bangladesh recorded two impressive victories to bring home the series 2-1, before winning back-to-back T20Is to come back from behind and secure a series victory in the shortest format, reports icc-cricket.com.
Windies won the first match in Basseterre before losing out to Rhodes' side in the remaining games in Florida, something which left the coach somewhat surprised. Opener Liton Das smashed a rapid 61 from 32 as Bangladesh racked up 184/5 in the conclusive T20I, restricting Windies to 135/7 in reply.
'The Test series was tough,' Rhodes said. 'We took a bit of a beating. But I am very proud of the way the boys came back strongly. Winning the one-dayers was something that we fancied. It was great to have achieved that.
'The T20s came as a bit of a surprise. We really did play well in the second and the third game. I am delighted that we have two series trophies. It was a great effort. I am very pleased for Liton (Das). He played magnificently in that final game.'
Rhodes expressed his delight at Bangladesh's ODI form ahead of the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup and the more imminent Asia Cup, which commences on 15 September.
'I think it would give confidence to the squad,' added Rhodes. 'There's nothing better than winning. We have already played pretty well in ODIs previously, so we are optimistic. We don't want to get carried away, but certainly we are very pleased. We could have won the ODIs 3-0.'
Rhodes was more realistic regarding his side's red-ball batting exploits, given that they were skittled for scores of 43, 144, 149 and 168 in the Test series, but praised the potent Windies bowling attack.
'Our batting was exposed a little bit in the Test matches,' Rhodes said. 'I think we need to generally tidy up a little bit and try to improve our Test match batting. But we have quality players. We just need to adapt to conditions and opposition a little bit quicker in away Tests.
'I think in the first Test, the toss was crucial. The wicket seamed, bounced and swung. The West Indies attack – (Kemar) Roach, (Shannon) Gabriel and (Miguel) Cummins – with the Dukes cricket ball were very useful. Most batting (line-ups) would have struggled in Antigua.
'I think both captains in the ODIs and the T20s handled the bowling magnificently. We have some quality spin bowlers, and actually the pace bowling proved to be more effective than the West Indies'. I am very happy.
'For the Test matches, we have to try to find a couple of quicker and taller bowlers who can hit the wicket, which the West Indies bowlers did.'

A 20-year-old man who confessed to police he intended to deal drugs when they caught him with a stash of cannabis has been sentenced to a curfew and ordered to carry out 200 hours unpaid work.
Police were on duty in Glastonbury when they stopped a car after receiving information that it had been used for drug dealing.
When they searched Nathan Kevin Avenell they found a quantity of cannabis and four Valium pills on his person along with some individual bags and other paraphernalia.
Avenell, of West Street, Somerton, pleaded guilty to being in possession of a quantity of cannabis (class B) with intent to supply to people unknown.
He also admitted being in possession of four Valium pills (class C) when he appeared before Somerset Magistrates.
Prosecutor Matthew Jackson said the defendant was stopped by police in Glastonbury who had received information that the vehicle he had been driving had been used for the purposes of drug dealing in the area.
"Avenell and another male were inside, but after the other male was released the defendant was searched and a bag was found with a quantity of cannabis inside (25g) along with four Valium pills in a bag," he said.
"There were also a number of other "deal" bags along with some scales and other equipment and Avenell immediately accepted the drugs were his.
Defending solicitor Ray Peters said that his client was open and honest with the police and when he was arrested admitted that the drugs belonged to him.
"When he was interviewed he admitted he had the cannabis with the intention of dealing it but gave an account of the Valium tablets saying they cost him £1 each and he used them to help him sleep," he said.
"This is a man of previous good character who complied fully with the police, and when he was stopped again a few weeks later nothing was found in his vehicle.
"He has now been offered the chance to go on courses to support his drug use and is deeply ashamed of what he has done and of the impact it has had on his family.
He said that initially Avenell was asked to leave but he had since been allowed back into the family home.
The magistrates sentenced the defendant to a 12 month community order with a requirement to carry out 200 hours unpaid work.
They also imposed a 12 week curfew where the defendant will have to remain at his home address between the hours of 7pm and 7am daily while electronically tagged.
The forfeiture and destruction of the drugs and associated paraphernalia was also requested and costs of £85 and an £85 victim surcharge were imposed.


Nous avons mis la hanoukkia ________ la fenêtre. I thought 'au coin de' meant by/near. In retrospect 'près de' sounds better. But why can't 'au coin de' be used in this case? Is it only used for placement in a room or by a building (geographical) vs by a person or object? Thanks!
