Water and Sewer rate increases are astronomical!
It is absolutely amazing to see the town council dump these sorts of astronomical costs to the citizens of this island! With all of the neglect to properly maintain the "aging" water and sewer systems in years and administrations past, now WE have to pick up the tab, and in short order! I currently live in the old "Wilmington Beach" area of the island and just got through paying, in cash, a $5000.00 assessment for 50 feet of pavement, forced storm sewer installation and water system upgrades. Now, I have to pay again for what has already been done in my area?
I think it serious time for the voters to consider who they are voting for in the upcoming elections! This secretive, 58 million dollar endeavor and the method to collect it has been in the works for some time now and was NEVER divulged to any of us in any of their campaigns! The method (or lack thereof) of handling this expenditure would have greatly influenced who I would have voted to put in office. I can guarantee you it will have a serious effect in the next election!
I don't think it ever proper to fleece the people over obviously neglected infrastructure management. Had these issues been addressed in a timely manner, it wouldn't have to be done all at once. It probably doesn't all need to be done at one time now.
This will most likely turn out to be another of the town council and town managers boon-doggling, classic screw-ups that will shadow the "Road-Diet" fiasco, the DOUBLING of the price of the Firehouse upgrade because no project manager was assigned and the never-ending, open checkbook Cape Fear Blvd makeover! There are members still in place that contributed to those classic and expensive failures! There are some in place that contributed to the neglect of the water and sewer system going back many years.
I firmly believe that the new boardwalk, as nice as it is right now, will fall victim to the very same sort of management and the very same sort of resolution!


Unlike traditional organisations that define themselves by the products or services they produce, agile and adaptive organisations define themselves by the value they create which leaves them free to develop new and innovative products and services. This requires structures, practices and people that can continually sense and respond to the most appropriate emerging customer needs before your competitors do.
The talk will provide a down to earth humorous look at the transition from the agile workplace to business agility and adaptation.

BNEF says Auxin misinterpreted its research in calling for solar tariffs
Researchers from BloombergNEF say Auxin Solar used data inaccurately in petitioning the Commerce Department to consider new tariffs on imported solar panels.

The tariff circumvention inquiry that has brought U.S. solar installations to a shuddering halt is predicated at least in part on a misinterpretation of data, Canary Media has learned.
U.S. solar-panel manufacturer Auxin Solar relied heavily on research by BloombergNEF, a respected clean energy analysis firm, when it successfully petitioned the U.S. Commerce Department earlier this year to investigate potential circumvention of tariffs on solar cells and modules. Auxin cited BNEF solar-manufacturing research as it attempted to build a case that Chinese manufacturers are funneling components through factories in four Southeast Asian countries to get around U.S. solar import tariffs. It mentioned BNEF 38 times in its petition.
And the Commerce Department, in its March memo initiating the inquiry, repeatedly noted Auxin's use of BNEF research to build the case for the inquiry. The memo mentions BNEF 19 times.
The problem: The authors of that research say Auxin misinterpreted it.
"We do not think Auxin's use of our data accurately reflects our research and certainly does not reflect our house view," BNEF solar analysts Jenny Chase and Pol Lezcano told Canary Media in an email Tuesday.

The Commerce Department states in its memo, "Auxin notes that it does not have access to the confidential data of producers of solar cells and modules in the third [party] countries under consideration," meaning Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. In lieu of direct evidence to support its claims, Auxin provided "industry publications" to demonstrate that the solar-cell manufacturing underway in those four countries is minor relative to the production of precursor materials in China.
Many of those "industry publications" were authored by BNEF.
Chase and Lezcano highlighted one example of their research being misused. From the Commerce Department's memo (curly brackets are in the original):
Auxin also points to a statement in the BloombergNEF Report that "the majority of goods the U.S. imports {i.e., solar panels} arrive from Southeast Asia post assembly," but "70% of the actual value of that equipment {solar panels} accrues to China where key, pre-assembly steps in the making of the equipment take place, including production of solar-grade silicon, ingots, wafers and cells."
The BNEF researchers told Canary Media that the 70% data point refers to the "cash cost" of the components making up finished solar panels. It does not include the investment in and depreciation of factories that produce solar cells and modules in the four countries in question, not to mention the general and administrative expenses of operating them.
"It still costs a lot of upfront capex to build a new factory, regardless of where you site it," Chase and Lezcano noted.
In other words, the value of raw ingredients and components produced in China does not change the fact that manufacturers invested significant capital to build factories in the four other Asian countries. Those factories take materials that are incapable of turning sunlight into electricity and transform them into finished products that are capable of doing so.
In order for the Commerce Department to determine that circumvention of tariffs is happening, it must find, among other things, that work taking place in a third-party country be only "minor or insignificant." Auxin used BNEF's research to try to make that point. But with BNEF stating that its research does not support that conclusion, Auxin's case looks weaker. Still, Auxin did succeed in kicking off the inquiry, and now it's up to the Commerce Department to decide if it finds the company's theory persuasive.

Home Wonkette The Washington Post Calls MLK Jr. 'Conservative.' Wonkette Calls Washington Post 'Bullsh*t'
The Washington Post Calls MLK Jr. 'Conservative.' Wonkette Calls Washington Post 'Bullsh*t'
OK, sure. He's been called worse things.
It's Martin Luther King Day again, which means it's time once more to explain to wingnuts that, no, he wasn't a registered Republican, and also there was more to the "I Have A Dream" speech than the one line about dreaming that one day his children would "not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character" — also, no, that was not an argument against affirmative action, either. Happily, none of that nonsense is at work in the Washington Post's dopey MLK Day editorial "Martin Luther King Jr. was a true conservative," which is still pretty much wrong, but is at least wrong in some novel ways.
So, no, at least the WaPo editorial isn't attempting to warp King into a Tea Partier who hated Big Government. Instead, they're trying to redefine "conservatism" so at least some parts of King's thinking will fit inside that box. Here's the gist of their argument, such as it is: King was a conservative, you see, because
in his way, Dr. King did a lot to preserve, protect and defend the best of our principles and values. Just as Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was despised by many conservatives of his day, helped keep American society from succumbing to the radical ideologies that brought death and devastation to much of Europe and Asia, Dr. King worked to turn back extremism, violence and racial nationalism at the height of the civil rights movement, and to keep the cause of essential and long-overdue change in the American mainstream.
Translation: Since King thought America could end segregation and actually live up to the ideal that all of us are created equal, without a violent revolution like the black radicals who saw him as insufficiently willing to overthrow the existing system, he was a conservative. Or at least a Very Nice Radical. The comparison to FDR is telling — as my beloved radical-ish high school U.S. History teacher Mr. Wallace liked to say, Roosevelt saved capitalism from itself. So yes, if "conservative" means "satisfied with incremental changes," you can make that case, WaPo, although it probably applies far better to Barack Obama than to King, who was never, ever satisfied with incrementalism. That's why he was a far more polarizing figure in life than after he was assassinated and his image could be much more carefully managed. Murdered heroes are pretty convenient that way, since they can't get on Twitter and insist you know nothing of their work.
Martin Luther King wasn't only calling for an equal opportunity for everyone to pursue an MBA and screw others — he was about radical restructuring of the American economy, which is what his idea for the Poor People's March on Washington was all about: Yes, voting rights and the end of segregated restrooms were nice, but King didn't think America was working, not at all, for entirely too many Americans. There wasn't a hell of a lot that was conservative about King's vision of a radical remaking of how wealth was distributed, that's for certain. But instead he was assassinated, the Poor People's Campaign — hastily organized by the SCLC as a combination protest and memorial to King — turned into a fiasco, the New Right came along in reaction to the '60s and '70s, and then Ronald Reagan finally killed off the Great Society and led us to the corporate promised land where we live today.
And do we even want to get started on King's opposition to the war in Vietnam? We probably need to, if only to make it clear to Sarah Palin that no, Martin Luther King would not agree that Our Troops are "a force for good in this country, and that is nothing to apologize for." What King actually said about Vietnam went well past saying it was something we should apologize for; he considered it a fundamental betrayal of American values:
[What] we are submitting [our troops] to in Vietnam is not simply the brutalizing process that goes on in any war where armies face each other and seek to destroy. We are adding cynicism to the process of death, for they must know after a short period there that none of the things we claim to be fighting for are really involved. Before long they must know that their government has sent them into a struggle among Vietnamese, and the more sophisticated surely realize that we are on the side of the wealthy, and the secure, while we create a hell for the poor.
Not exactly a conservative call to Support The Troops, was it? Unless by "support" you mean get them the hell out of there and rebuild the country we helped break.
How To Fix: Crepey Skin
Beverly Hills surgeon explains at home fix for crepey skin around the arms, legs, and stomach.
But yes, King definitely did good things, and reminded us of the promise — still very much unfulfilled — of America's best ideals, so let's call that "conservative." All you have to do is redefine "conservatism" into "something no modern conservative believes but that sort of describes some parts of Martin Luther King," and the Washington Post has perfectly nailed it.

Mass. housing boom about to encounter turbulence
Colin A. Young and Michael P. NortonState House News Service
Mar 26, 2020 at 10:08 AM Mar 26, 2020 at 11:53 AM
BOSTON — The long-soaring Massachusetts housing market is now on a collision course with a different type of dynamism.
The monthly median sale price of a single-family home here has been climbing since March 2016, but real estate market watchers said Wednesday the record-setting streak could soon come to an end due to the coronavirus pandemic.
"With economic uncertainty perpetuated by COVID-19 and Massachusetts essentially at a standstill, we can expect the number of single-family home sales and the median sale price to take a hit in the coming months," Warren Group CEO Tim Warren said Wednesday.
The Warren Group reported that the median sale prices for single-family homes and condominiums increased to all-time highs for the month of February -- $380,000, up 4.1 percent from $365,000 in February 2019, for single-family homes and a 16.6 percent increase to $400,000 for condos.
Total single-family home sales dipped in February to 2,673, a 5.3 percent decrease from February 2019. The 1,402 condos sold in February represented a 13.6 percent increase and the greatest number of transactions recorded in the month of February since 2007, the Warren Group said.
On the group's podcast, Warren said the data for March will likely show "fairly normal and consistent trends" because it will mostly reflect homes that went under contract before the coronavirus pandemic really upended life. The real effects of the "economic chaos" will show up in second-quarter data.
"A slowdown is inevitable," Warren said. "People who feel that their jobs are at risk, have been also seeing their investments and retirement accounts shrink, those people are not going to be home shopping aggressively in the second quarter."
Hours after the group released the latest housing data, Gov. Charlie Baker, who has been making major news announcements daily in response to the pandemic, outlined a series of measures to protect low-income renters and homeowners and to prevent people from becoming homeless due to reduced or lost income.
The Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) is temporarily suspending terminations of federal and state rental vouchers under its purview, MassHousing is transferring $5 million to DHCD for a COVID-19 Rental Assistance for Families in Transition (RAFT) fund to assist families facing rent insecurity, and the Division of Banks has issued new guidance to financial institutions and lenders "urging them to provide relief for borrowers" and informing them that the division "will advocate for a 60-day stay on behalf of all homeowners facing imminent foreclosure on their homes," according to the Baker administration.
In addition, DHCD is issuing guidance recommending that all owners of state aided low-income housing, including housing authorities and private owners, suspend both pending non-essential evictions and the filing of any new non-essential evictions. The guidance "urges operators to establish reasonable payment plans, notify Section 8 or public housing residents about interim income recertification to adjust rent payments, and to consider offering relief funding for residents ineligible for income reassessment."
Stefanie Coxe, executive director of the Regional Housing Network of Massachusetts, applauded the new measures announced by the governor.
"But we need to think about what happens when a moratorium lifts," Coxe said. "Thousands of Massachusetts individuals and families face reduced hours, lost wages, and unemployment and when the dust settles, may potentially owe thousands in back rent. To keep folks in their homes, we believe ultimately we will need additional resources and will be asking the Administration and Legislature for an additional appropriation for RAFT, while lifting certain income eligibility requirements, and an additional appropriation for Housing Consumer Education Centers, which administer RAFT and help residents navigate housing options in a crisis."
Coxe said relief is also needed from regulatory requirements that "make it impossible to both meet clients' needs and safely practice social distancing at the same time."
Community development corporations on Wednesday called on the state to take immediate action, by using cash reserves and borrowing, to address "growing and urgent needs for small businesses, tenants, homeowners and nonprofit organizations" impacted by the public health crisis.
The Massachusetts Association of Community Development Corporations is requesting a $150 million investment in loans, grants, and technical assistance to help small businesses survive and recover; the creation of a Massachusetts COVID-19 Small Business Response Task Force to guide the ongoing response, and the expansion of unemployment insurance criteria to cover sole proprietors, independent contractors and micro businesses.
The group, which represents 88 community-based nonprofits across the state, is also seeking $25 million in emergency funding to help tenants impacted by the COVID-19 crisis pay their rent, and initiatives to help nonprofit organizations, including community-based cultural organizations, youth programs, and CDCs.
"The economic fallout from the COVID-19 public health emergency is likely to hurt just about everyone, but it will have a particularly significant impact on lower-income communities, communities of color, Gateway Cities, and distressed rural areas," Joseph Kriesberg, president of MACDC, said. "We need the state to step up immediately with significant and equitable investments to help our small businesses survive and recover from this unprecedented crisis."

11/23/17 – A Wisconsin Lottery ticket sold at a Beaver Dam gas station hit the jackpot this week. Lottery officials say two players matched all five numbers in the Badger Five drawing from Tuesday. One of the winning tickets was sold at Coyote Gas and Liquor on North Spring Street in Beaver Dam. The winner from Beaver Dam will split $129-thousand dollars with the winner of a ticket sold in Burlington. The winning numbers were eight, nine, 12, 13 and 30. Winners have six months to claim their prize by mail or in person at the Lottery's Madison or Milwaukee offices. The jackpot went back down to $10-thousand dollars with the win. The odds of winning the Badger Five jackpot are one-in-170-thousand.


Pregnant woman ditches 911 to call for help on Facebook.
Surrounded by 12 feet of rising water and stranded, Chiwoniso Luzolo is turning to Facebook for help. Attempts to get through to emergency services by calling on her phone failed in her hometown of Cypress, Texas. Priority going to victims who's home interiors are flooded first. Luckily, at last check Chiwoniso's home on stilts is just barely dry inside and she still has some food on hand.
She knew things were getting serious as the water started lapping over her 12 foot high deck. When she failed get help through to 911, Chiwoniso grabbed her phone and went live with this video call for help on Facebook.
Chiwoniso says "a lot of people who've been reaching out" through her Facebook page are trying to help. What she needs most of all right now is a rescue boat. You can her the frustration in her voice as she narrates her experience of being stuck in her flooded neighborhood. She shares how neighbors on either side of her are also in need of help.
She points out that she does not live on a river or body of water and that what you can see through her facebook video calling for help is normally a dry street.
Other friends are joining in by passing along her message for help but we are not aware if any rescue attempt has been up to this point.
In her video Chiwoniso says there are two goats, two dogs and two adults that need to be rescued. Her cry for help is just one upon thousands from stranded residents in various Texas communities.
Update: August 31, 10:35AM CT – Subject in this story goes by Chiwoniso Luzolo although her legal name is Teila Robinson. She is no longer asking to be rescued and has turned to focusing her posts on politicizing her experience in Cypress, Texas.


U Win Thein, Chief Minister for Bago Region, offers opening remarks at the Lessons Learned Workshop on Land Use Planning for Bago Region.
At a one-day workshop in Bago, Bago Region, three donor-funded projects introduced findings from pilot activities examining land use planning approaches at regional, township, and village tract levels. Implemented by the European Union at the regional level, OneMap Myanmar at the township level, and the USAID-funded Land Tenure Project (LTP) at the village tract level, the three projects shared their findings with government officials from nine departments to compare different approaches.
Land use planning in Burma is at a very early stage and, historically, has occurred at higher levels of government without taking into account the perspectives of communities. Together, the pilots demonstrated how land use planning can benefit from the integration of both top-down and bottom-up land use planning techniques. For example, land use classifications determined at the regional level using remote sensing techniques need to be integrated with community perspectives on their land uses. Participants indicated that many of the data-driven and forward-looking concepts presented at the workshop were new. In particular, since community voices have not traditionally been taken into consideration in planning matters, the village tract level approach piloted by USAID LTP was considered a good demonstration of the value of community level participation. A regional official noted, "We are now in the democratic era and need to use the bottom-up approach and start implementing it. Then we can have proper and correct decisions for the public." This engagement marked an initial, but important, step toward integrating land use planning at multiple scales in Burma.
Development of inclusive land use planning approaches is essential for sustainable, long-term economic development of urban and rural communities in Burma. Effective land use planning builds the capacity of government institutions and related stakeholders to implement policy, legal, and regulatory frameworks that strengthen long-term stability and prosperity.

The Absolute Best Moisturizers for Dry Faces
Despite your best efforts (humidifiers, masks, more water, less wine), it can be a challenge to maintain a supple complexion. But it does make a big difference to find the right moisturizer for your skin type. Here are the best face moisturizers for all skin types, after much trial and error.
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Cream
This moisturizer is ideal for oily complexions and absorbs almost instantly so that your skin feels softer, nourished and not greasy at all. The consistency of the gel-cream spreads evenly, but feels more like a once-applied liquid. It is also one of the least-cost moisturizers on this list, and has nearly 5,000 Amazon five-star ratings.
Olay Regenerist Deep Hydration Regenerating Cream Moisturizer
It's not the most flashy of moisturizers, but this one has a long-standing reputation in the world of beauty — it works very well and has zero fragrance. (Almost 4,000 four-star ratings are available on Amazon, too). One swipe of the formula, which is rich in hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, moisturizes deeply for supersoft skin.
Avène Cicalfate Restorative Skin Cream
The cream is admired by those with persistent eczema for its ability to cure and soothe especially stubborn spots. It is a French drugstore discovery which contains thermal spring water (known for its healing properties), but also has clinical results which support its effectiveness in repairing the skin barrier. It is calming and can also be used on children.
Weleda Skin Food Original Ultrarich Cream
This moisturizer has got the status of cults. As a favorite of Julia Roberts, Victoria Beckham, makeup artists, models, writers, and more it has been listed several times on the Cut. People laud its thickness and the dewy sheen that it leaves behind (some people even use it rather than the highlighter). It's meant mainly for the face and body, but can also be used on hands, hair, and everywhere else.
TATCHA The Water Cream
This cream quickly became the best-selling moisturizer of Sephora over the summer, and sold out twice. It has a gel texture that on skin contact immediately becomes a smooth, silky moisturizer and it moisturizes without being greasy.

Exclusive: DeFi Year in Review by DappRadar
2020 was the year of DeFi and DappRadar covers all the major developments and milestones in an exclusive report.
Hello Defiers! Hoping you all had very happy holidays and are enjoying the very last days of 2020.
This year has been intense — wildfires in Australia and the US West Coast, an economic downturn of historical magnitude and unprecedented money printing by central banks to overcome it, Black Lives Matters protests, the US election, a deadly explosion in Beirut, royals leaving the UK royal family, even "murder hornets" made an appearance. All of this of course under the over-riding theme of a global pandemic forcing us to rethink the very foundations of how we have so far carried our lives.
Amid all this chaos, DeFi has thrived. Look at any metric; from assets in the ecosystem, to volume traded, to number of users and new applications, they have all multiplied many times over. It's the result of thousands of developers freely building and innovating on top of open-source, distributed networks —particularly, on top of Ethereum in the past five years. That innovation resulted in money applications being rebuilt from the ground up creating a global, open, financial system that doesn't care who you are or where you're based; anyone can be a user, or builder, or both.
2020 was the year where the basic infrastructure built years before met an explosion of volume and users. This explosion also pushed the space to its limits, with rising gas costs and a multitude of hacks and attacks.
Today we're reviewing the past year in DeFi, together with DappRadar, which has created a report exclusively for Defiant readers.
Both paid and free subscribers receive the full report, but paid subscribers got it early. Paid subscribers also get complete access to The Defiant content and archive, and access to The Defiant Discord chat. Join the club! Pay with Dai on this link or in fiat at the link below.
🙌 Together with Zerion, a simple interface to access and use decentralized finance, Neutrino, an algorithmic price-stable protocol that enables the creation of stablecoins tied to real-world assets, and Value DeFi Protocol, a suite of DeFi products including the Value Liquid AMM, which allows anyone to create trading pools with flexible ratio pairs.
The Year of DeFi
By DappRadar, for The Defiant
2020 was a big year for DeFi. The sector became the engine behind the crypto renaissance that saw BTC break through $24K and the industry's market cap push past $680B. Decentralized applications finally started to see sustained usage and the industry took a giant step forward in realizing its macro vision for a web3 economy.
Source: CoinGecko
Once again Ethereum led the charge, and while spiking gas prices hurt the gaming sector, DeFi became the cornerstone of its ecosystem. Nevertheless, over the course of the year, rival blockchains have started to make their presence known. With the market at stake becoming more lucrative every day, and composability unlocking new frontiers, the competition between public blockchains may only intensify.
2020 was a foundational year for the crypto proving, to both institutional and retail players, that the blockchain vision is not a pipe dream.
Prior to 2020, DeFi was stuck in a negative feedback loop: dapps needed liquidity to provide low slippage/deep market services, but without it to begin with, it could not attract enough users (and capital), who instead opted for centralized alternatives.
However, this year, teams figured out ways to incentivize users to bring over their capital, giving rise to the liquidity mining boom. Participants would effectively be paid by the protocols to provide liquidity and use their services. Synthetix was arguably the first to successfully implement it, but unlike many of its peers the dapp had a native token.
This in-turn incentivized other protocols to consider launching their own tokens in order to benefit from the model. Compound set off a chain reaction, when it started distributing its COMP token. Teams with existing projects and those building on the sidelines, saw how quickly Compound was able to capture the market's attention and grow its user base and liquidity, and wanted in.
From then on it felt like every other day, there would be a new project popping up, with a token reward from bringing liquidity and usage to its platform. The DeFi sector began to grow, quickly, and attracted both attention and capital from the industry.

With liquidity present, users were now able to enjoy the benefits of DeFi such as: wallet control, accessibility (no KYC), wider listing options and composability. By removing the key roadblock, projects were able to replace a negative feedback loop with a positive one: liquidity begets liquidity.
The DAO Model
Teams introducing native assets needed to find a way for their tokens to have value. At the same time, with the regulatory landscape still undefined, there remained a need for greater decentralization.
In this context issuing a governance token, one that would allow the token holders to control the project through voting, made a lot of sense. Teams would decentralize the platforms by giving up control to the community, and token owners would benefit from ownership of the protocols.
While initially, some teams tried to focus on the governance utility of the token, the market quickly realized that tokens have at least a potential revenue stream. Since many of the DeFi projects charge a fee, protocols generate revenue that could potentially be distributed to its users. This could give the tokens some quantifiable value. Curve became one of the first projects to do that.

Problems with governance token centralization have taken some of the shine off of the initiative. However, both the governance models, distribution mechanics and incentive models continue to evolve.

Gastronomical Delight
One of the core tenants of the blockchain industry is that everything should open-sourced. That in turn means that everything can be forked. When the market realized that the key driver for liquidity may not necessarily be utility or brand power, but mining incentives, forks of established projects began popping up left and right offering the promise of quick riches from the yield.
Instead of waiting for listings on centralized exchanges, teams opted for Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs), on platforms such as Uniswap and Balancer, meaning that they could deploy quickly, at little cost, and allow anyone brave enough to participate.
In order to draw attention to themselves, they choose food-related names, which after YAM and PASTA quickly materialized into a food-meme frenzy. The DeFi buffet offered everything from fruits and vegetables to sushi.
A number of these projects did not last very long, but for farmers who were active across the ecosystem, the offered yields were often high enough to compensate them for the risk of things going wrong in a few of them.
Still others became prominent enough to battle for dominance with the old core. For instance, SushiSwap famously "vamped" liquidity from Uniswap, prior to the latter's release of its own governance token UNI. However, when Uniswap's mining program expired SushiSwap once again attracted away a significant amount of liquidity.
For now, the industry maintains its friendly community feel, but the events may be foreshadowing the liquidity wars yet to come.
One Metric to Rule Them All
With liquidity being the key driver of growth, Total Value Locked (TVL) became the chief metric in the industry. The statistic measures the amount of capital (typically in USD) locked in a given dapp.
As TVL rankings began popping up, for a project able to grow its liquidity quickly, TVL became a sort of marketing instrument. A high TVL instilled (sometimes false) confidence that a project was solid because others believed in it and were using it.
The original TVL caught on partly due to its simplicity, but it is that simplicity that made it so deceiving. For one, calculating growth in USD introduced price-driven volatility. TVL may change not because assets are locked or withdrawn, but because the prices of the locked assets changed.
At different times during the year, it fueled excessive optimism and unwarranted panic. TVL would appear often in the headlines, without always revealing the true nature of market dynamics.
To remove the price effect, DappRadar developed adjusted TVL (aTVL), which more accurately depicted the flow of assets.
Others also found that classical TVL double-counted synthetic assets like cTokens. So DeBank created its own metric True TVL in order to remove them from the calculations.
Still, basic TVL appears to be the most quoted metric in DeFi, which may, from time to time, obscure reality.
The Stack Deepens
With liquidity approaching useful levels, developers were now free to experiment and expand functionality. The efforts fit broadly along three vectors: composability, new features, and retail.
One of the key benefits of DeFi is that protocols are easy to integrate with one another. Teams began to incorporate multi-project incentive models, and developers began to develop platforms that optimized yield farming.
Source: yearn.finance
Yield optimization efforts led to the emergence of Yearn, a project started by Andre Cronje, whose governance he passed to the community with one of the most radical token distribution schemes to date.
As synergies began to emerge projects began to integrate, both at an aggregator and basic protocol levels.
As part of that, flash loans began to play an important role. This particular type of instrument enabled users to borrow enormous amounts of capital as long as the loan was repaid within the same transaction. This has reduced capital restriction on a lot of inter-dapp operations.
Further extension of the stack came with Aave's delegated loans, which enabled greater flexibility for capital deployment.
With trading volume growing, new market needs materialized. For instance, teams began working on derivatives products. While CeFi had exchanges that offered futures and options markets, DeFi had few options for hedging and thus controlling risk.
Over the course of the year the emergence of Hegic and projects such as Auctus and Deriswap laid the foundation for such markets.
On the retail front, it became possible to offer users simple, friendly UX that offered attractive yields, but abstracted away much of the complexity of DeFi. Projects such as Dharma and Idle offered fixed revenue streams for users by utilizing various DeFi protocols.
The appearance of liquidity enabled the sector to grow both horizontally and vertically.
The Price of Growth
While DeFi has seen tremendous growth it has come at the cost of quality and security in the industry.
The food-meme introduced a quick-launch model by which projects went to production without a full audit. This shifted the risks to the users of the application.
Moreover, many of the projects were launched by pseudo-anonymous teams, which significantly reduced options for recourse in the event of malicious behavior or oversight.
Expectedly, the industry saw a number of costly bugs, hacks and "rug pulls". While the damage varied by protocol, the threat of a major negative event continues to hang over the sector. With the protocols taking advantage of composability the danger of a domino effect event only increases.
Furthermore, with flash loans affording attackers access to an enormous amount of capital exploits have become lucrative and cheap to execute.
Even more alarming is the growth of the number of algorithmic exploits. The exploits don't use a backdoor, or try to break the protocol, but rather manipulate protocol inputs to a favorable outcome. Often these rely on oracle inefficiency and use flashloans to create imbalances and then capitalize on them.
However, algorithmic events may not always be intentional. In fact, in March MakerDAO nearly collapsed because of an algorithmic event that was set off by price volatility and unfortunately coincided with network congestion.
Algorithmic events are hard to test for. In fact, recently many of the projects under attack were previously audited. The issue is not relegated to small startups and has put even major projects such as Compound and Aave at risk.
This further increases the risk of a potential domino effect moment.
The sector has tried to address the issue with a growing number of decentralized insurance solutions, but going forward testing and quality standards will need to be addressed in order avoid painful setbacks.

The other key issue has been transaction costs and congestion. As transaction activity on Ethereum grew so did gas costs. This was tolerable for whale farmers, whose transaction volumes make any fees appear negligible, but it pushed out small retail users and decimated sectors reliant on small transactions such as gaming.
Source: Etherscan.io Gas Price
This has shined a spotlight on layer 2 solutions such as Plasma (Matic Network) and Rollups (StarkWare and Optimism), but these still require integration, introduce complexity and reduce composability.
The sector and the industry will need to address these issues, or continued growth will start to undermine the structural integrity of the space.
The Currency Question
While BTC and ETH maximalists have continued to argue whose asset deserves to be considered a digital currency, stablecoins have been expanding their presence to fill that void.
Stablecoins offer a chance to denominate, transact and settle with much less volatility than any of the major cryptocurrencies. That is why they have become the lifeblood of the DeFi ecosystem.
Still, as with almost everything else in the industry there are custodial and DeFi solutions. For now custodial leads, with Tether USDT being far and away the dominant stable coin on the market. However, with counterparty risk being a concern and the ability of centralized players to freeze assets by blacklisting wallets, these solutions may eventually lose their appeal.
MakerDAO's DAI is the clear leader among algorithmic stablecoins, and its attempts to integrate with the gaming sector show a vision that goes beyond DeFi.
However, with the stablecoin space becoming lucrative, enterprises and government players are looking to enter. With Diem (formerly Libra) and CBDC (China currently leading the effort) coins, these projects aim to reassert the dominance of traditional powerhouses.
Network Effects and Competition
DeFi allowed Ethereum to reassert itself as the dominant blockchain for dapps. The sector provided yield that enticed other communities. The biggest inflow of capital came from Bitcoin. For those not wanting to sell, but still desiring the capital to work, wrapping BTC and putting it on Ethereum offered a door to a lot of opportunities.
As more and more dapps began to accept wrapped forms of BTC, its value on Ethereum, as well as the number of centralized and decentralized bridges, skyrocketed. This in turn, enticed other communities to cross over into Ethereum, with Zcash, Dash, Ethereum Classic and Filecoin being among those with wrapped versions of their native currency launching on Ethereum.
Source: btconethereum.com
If capital proves sticky, this may become a moat for Ethereum as its rivals try to wrestle away its crown.
The line of projects wanting to do so has grown long. As DeFi proved that the market for decentralized services is real and expanding, rivals began to race for a chance to grab a piece of the pie.
With Ethereum's scalability woes painfully on display, rival ecosystems highlighted their scalability benefits to try to entice away developing teams. Since Ethereum has, by far, the largest development community in crypto it became vital to offer EVM compatibility in order to be competitive. Furthermore, a number of projects launched programs to try to financially incentivize development, Binance's $100M being one of the biggest.
Projects tried to follow Ethereum's blueprint and so a number of MakerDAO, Uniswap and Compound alternatives launched on rival networks.
Still, so far, very few platforms have been able to establish organic developer interest. In fact, for many the DeFi boom has realigned the ranking of projects behind Ethereum. EOS and even Tron (despite its DeFi efforts) have fallen behind, while Polkadot, NEAR Protocol, Cosmos and Solana have stepped up. Polkadot in particular has generated a lot of buzz with its growing DeFi ecosystem, despite not having launched its parachains yet.
With interoperability, becoming key it will be important if rivals are able to attract capital away from Ethereum. With Ethereum 2.0 Phase 0 launch complete, the window of opportunity appears to be closing, but time remains.
Source: Beacon Chart
As DeFi continues to grow and expand it should catalyze growth in other sectors. DeFi provides infrastructure for transacting value, and now that it is in place that should help value creating segments take steps forward.
The arts and collectibles sector is already starting to integrate into the stack, with projects like Aavegotchi and NFTfi combining collectibles and decentralized finance. NFT art pieces are attracting increasing sums at auctions, making it feel as if it is only a matter of time before these assets are accepted as collateral within DeFi.
Source: NFTfi.com
Moreover, there appears to be growing momentum to tokenize real world items. As real estate finds its way to the blockchain it should also appear within the DeFi space.
As the market grows in value, competition should only increase both at layer 1 and layer 2 levels. With the recent merger spree by Yearn it is already possible to see DeFi camps forming. Competition should be good for the end user, as it will hopefully address quality and security issues as well as increase feature scope.
In 2020 DeFi proved that it belongs, but it must continue to move forward in order to drive the bigger web3 vision.

An elderly resident of the area recalls an Acoustic Detection Post located at the Buthkollidar corner during the early part of World War II, in the Bullwood area approximately two miles south of Dunoon.
The equipment was described as having two large sound collectors, which looked like giant megaphones. The post was described as being used to constantly scan the sky and detect the sound of aircraft approaching from the distances.
Acoustic detection of approaching aircraft was all but defunct by the start of World War II, having been developed first during World War I. Although the technology had shown promise to begin with, by the time of the second conflict aircraft speed had advanced to the extent that the time between detection and arrival of enemy aircraft was down to a matter of minutes at best, and ultimately of no real value. The systems were 'blinded' by any ambient noise near the detectors, which would drown out the distant sound, and the development of radar finally rendered them obsolete.
A possible explanation of the post identified above would be that the plausible story about aircraft detection could have been deliberately leaked and perpetuated, while the intended target for the observers would have been the approach to the Firth of Clyde. The system would have been much more effective over the shorter distances involved, and where the normal patterns of background noise would have been familiar to experienced operators. Under such conditions, it is possible that they could have monitored the area during hours of darkness, when a U-Boat could have attempted to penetrate the area and its defences unseen. Any uncharacteristic sounds, motors, bubbles/divers etc could have signalled an alert.

Chapter 6. "The Objectivity of Moral Judgements" by G. E. Moore
Ideas of Interest from Ethics
The Reading Selection from Ethics
G. E. Moore, Universitá di Pavia
G. E. Moore was a Fellow of the British Academy, Professor of Mental Philosophy and Logic at Trinity College, Cambridge, and editor of the philosophy and psychology journal Mind. Bertrand Russell, a colleague, wrote about Moore's reputation for honesty, "I have never but once succeeded in making him tell a lie, and that was by a subterfuge. 'Moore,' I said, 'do you always speak the truth?' 'No,' he replied. I believe this to be the only lie he ever told."
In his Ethics,[1] G. E. Moore clarifies in conversational style whether "good" and "right" have any common characteristics. His arguments are easy to understand, if the reader is willing to follow the natural flow of the rather long sentences. Moore is such a clear and careful writer that he is almost always better understood when he is read slowly and patiently. The central purpose of his Ethics was to draw attention to some confusions in utilitarianism. In this short selection from Chapter II, Moore argues against ethical relativism based on an emotive theory or consensus gentium.
"…it seems also to be often supposed that, if our moral judgements were developed out of feeling—if this was their origin—they must still at this moment be somehow concerned with feelings…and this is an assumption of which there is, surely, no shadow of ground."
The emotive theory of ethics bases rightness and wrongness on emotions. Explain Moore's characterization of the theory.
Explain how the two steps Moore describes indicate that the emotive theory of ethics is inconsistent: (1) his argument from emotivism and (2) his argument from moral progress.
Explain how personal feelings as to moral approval and disapproval in different persons might not be contradictory.
Explain Moore's argument against relativism based on the meanings of the words "right" and "wrong."
Why is ethics not sociologically based according to Moore? I.e., why is not ethics based on measures of social approval?
What is Moore's argument that ethics is not based upon what most people think?

Topics Worth Investigating Up The Reading Selection from Ethics


Move over critics, a fruit has more power than individualized opinions.
As of late, two simple words have had an enormous effect on the film industry — "rotten" and "fresh." Rotten Tomatoes is a website that generates a rating percentage for films based on critic reviews. If a film is rated higher than 60 percent, it's rewarded with a positive icon of a "fresh" tomato. If a film has a rating less than 60 percent, it's accompanied by a negative "rotten" green splash.
With moviegoers relying on a tomato's health to determine whether they want to see a movie, it is important to understand what the rating means. Jon Partridge, Austin Film Critics Association member, said the Tomatometer oversimplifies what a movie is.
Every single tomato-certified review has an impact on the film's score. Partridge said this hard, 60 percent cutoff makes a large difference to films straddling the border.
"You are working with arbitrary cutoffs, if you've defined fresh as being 60 percent, you'll have a film with 59 percent that's rotten or 61 percent that's fresh. You can have a single critic make that difference," said Partridge, a molecular biosciences assistant professor.
Instead of falling under "fresh" or "rotten," film reviews instead highlight various aspects of a film and how they contribute to the final product. Ed Travis, a Tomatometer-approved critic, said critics often choose the tomato for their review.
Since Rotten Tomatoes is heavily based on critics' opinions, it is important to ensure the pool of reviews is diverse and objective. Partridge said Rotten Tomatoes' critic makeup has been broadening in terms of diversity.
While Rotten Tomatoes may have some faults in its overall makeup, it is clearly a heavily used medium for film fans and critics. At the end of the day, whether a Tomatometer rating is positive or controversial, it will only help to engage people with the art of cinema.
"(Rotten Tomatoes is) a lightning rod in a way, it oversimplifies, but it does draw attention to the film," Partridge said.

AFC Rushden & Diamonds return to FA Cup action this weekend with their season well and truly up and running.
Having suffered two defeats in a row to kick-off the new Evo-Stik Northern Premier League Division One South season, an unconvincing 4-3 success over United Counties League side Sileby Rangers in the preliminary round of the FA Cup proved to be the spark they needed.
Diamonds followed that up over the bank holiday weekend with back-to-back league wins as they ran out 3-1 victors at Carlton Town before defeating Bedworth United 2-0 at the Dog & Duck on Monday afternoon.
They are now back in FA Cup mode as they prepare to entertain Ryman League North Division outfit AFC Hornchurch in the first qualifying round tomorrow (Saturday).
Having reached the fourth qualifying round, where they were beaten in a replay with Northern Premier League Premier Division side Barwell, last season, Peaks is keen for more success in the competition.
"We have given ourselves a good foundation to build on in the last three games," Peaks said.
"Now we have to refocus and be ready for the FA Cup on Saturday.
"We know it's going to be another tough game but we will train tonight (Thursday) and ensure we are in good shape.
"The game with Sileby was always going to be a bit of a banana skin with them being from a division lower but we got through it.
"We had a great run in the competition last season and we want to try to do that again if we can.
"We have done a bit of homework on Hornchurch. I have had some reports on them and they will come here and make it hard for us.
"But I am more interested in what we do. In the past couple of games we have shown what we are capable of.
Peaks is confident midfielder Ross Oulton will be fit for Saturday's clash after he was withdrawn during Monday's success.
But Jake Newman and Joe Curtis are unlikely to be involved, although they are making progress in their recoveries from injury.
"Jake and Joe aren't far away but it will more than likely be another couple of weeks before we see them," Peaks added.
"But I am fairly happy with the squad. I was able to change things around on Monday, which was good with us having two games in a short space of time.

Q: SSIS Package is only importing a small number of rows from large excel worksheet I am working with an SSIS package that was built for us to import an excel sheet into a database.  Usually, if there are any issues the package will error out and we have to figure out where the error is in our data set.  Today I encountered a new issue, where the package appears to be completing successfully, but it is only importing about 200 rows out of 9000.  I have looked at the last rows that were imported and I don't see anything unique on those rows in our excel file.  I was curious if anyone has seen this issue and might have some suggestions for things I can check in the excel file that might be impacting the SSIS package.
Again normally the SSIS package is very quick to error out, so it is odd that we are seeing it say it is successful when it is only importing a fraction of the total rows.


You are an FY2 (junior doctor) doing a rotation in General Practice.
During your morning clinic you receive a call from Deborah Hunt, who is concerned about her father, and wants to speak to a doctor. She tells you that her 74-year old father, Robert, has had problems with his memory for a few months. He often forgets conversations or events in the recent past, although his memory of his youth are as good as ever. He is less caring about his appearance - he sometimes does not put on clean clothes, and forgets to shave. She has been meaning to call the doctor for a while, and finally decided to after seeing him last night.
The night before when she came around to see him, the flat was in a mess, there were dirty plates and spoiled food left out in the kitchen, and dirty clothes on the floor. He was dressed for bed, but she thought he had not got out of them that morning, and had not washed. He had also wet himself a little. He seemed to be more confused than before; at first he thought Deborah was his cleaner, then his wife. She gave him a bath and tidied up, but even when she put him to bed he seemed agitated.
She is going to visit him again tomorrow, but she thinks he has dementia and wondered if there is anything that you can do about it. You quickly pull up Mr Hunt's details on the computer. He has been generally fit and well, only coming to the surgery for his blood pressure, for which he takes bendroflumethiazide.
You agree that Mr Hunt may have dementia, and you would like to see him in clinic, tomorrow afternoon if possible, and with her present, to check if anything else is causing these problems.
You agree that Mr Hunt may have dementia, and you will arrange an appointment for him at the new memory clinic at the hospital in a week or two.
You agree that Mr Hunt may have dementia, and you would like to visit him today, with her present if possible, to check if anything else is causing these problems.
You agree that Mr Hunt may have dementia, and you will arrange an appointment for him at the new memory clinic at the hospital in a week or two. If he gets any worse, she can call you and arrange an appointment sooner at the GP clinic.

John Hunter (29 August 1737 13 March 1821) was an officer of the Royal Navy duri ng the eighteenth
and nineteenth centuries, rising to the rank of vice-admiral. He succeeded Arthur Phillip as the second governor of New South Wales, Australia and served as such from 1795 to 1800.[1] Both a sailor and a scholar, he explored the Parramatta River as early as 1788, and was the first to surmise that Tasmania might be an island. As governor, he t ried to combat serious abuses by the military in the face of powerful local inte rests led by John MacArthur. Hunter's name is commemorated in Hunter Valley, Hun ter River, Hunter's Hill and Hunter Street. Contents 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Family and early life American War of Independence Explorations around Australia and Tasmania Governorship Later life and legacy Further reading References External links
Family and early life John Hunter was born in Leith, Scotland, the son of William Hunter, a captain in the merchant service,[2] and Helen, ne Drummond, daughter of J. Drummond and nei ce of George Drummond, several-time lord provost of Edinburgh.[1][2] As a boy Hu nter was sent to live with an uncle in the town of Lynn in Norfolk, where, and a lso at Edinburgh, he received the classical education of the time. Hunter was se nt to University of Edinburgh, but soon left it to join the navy as a captain's servant to Thomas Knackston in HMS Grampus in May 1754.[1][3] In 1755 he was enr olled as able seaman on HMS Centaur, became a midshipman and served on HMS Union and then HMS Neptune.[1] While aboard Neptune he was present at the Raid on Roc hefort in 1757, and afterwards served during cruises off Brest in 1758 and the c apture of Quebec in 1759.[3] Serving aboard Neptune at this time as her first li eutenant was John Jervis, who became an acquaintance of Hunter's.[3] Hunter spent the rest of the war as midshipman on several of Admiral Phillip Dur rell's flagships, serving aboard HMS Royal Anne, HMS Princess Amelia and the 100 -gun HMS Royal George, the latter in the Bay of Biscay until the Treaty of Paris ended the war in 1763.[3] Hunter passed examinations and qualified for promotio n to lieutenant in February 1760.[1] He was not, however, appointed lieutenant u ntil 1780. Hunter remained active in the navy during the years of peace, going o ut to Newfoundland aboard the frigate HMS Tweed and then serving as master's mat e aboard HMS Launceston during her time in North America in 1767 with the fleet under Commodore Samuel Hood. Hood gave Hunter an acting-order as master in 1768, and after passing his exams with Trinity House in 1769, Hunter had the order co nfirmed.[3] His first appointment was to the 28-gun HMS Carysfort for service in the West Indies. Hunter spent his time there making charts and plans of parts o f the coast and of the Spanish fortifications at Havana, which he sent back to t he Admiralty.[3] Carysfort was nearly lost after running aground on Martyr Reef in the Gulf of Florida in 1771, while being sailed by a pilot, but Hunter's exer tions allowed her to be saved with the loss of her masts and guns.[3] Hunter served as master of HMS Intrepid in the East Indies between 1772 and 1775 , after which he became master of HMS Kent. The Kent was at this time commanded by Captain John Jervis, Hunter's companion from HMS Neptune. Jervis took Hunter with him to his next command, HMS Foudroyant. Also serving aboard Foudroyant at this time was Evan Nepean, then the ship's purser, but later a leading civil ser vant and First Secretary to the Admiralty.[3] From Foudroyant Hunter was moved i nto HMS Eagle in 1776, at the request of Admiral Lord Howe, who was then going o
ut to North America as commander-in-chief of the fleet, with Eagle as his flagsh ip.[3] American War of Independence The American War of Independence having broken out, Hunter served under Howe for the duration of his time in command, acting virtually as master of the fleet. H e was active in the Chesapeake raid and the expeditions on the Delaware, as well as the defence of Sandy Hook. On Howe's recall, by now out of favour with the S andwich administration, Hunter was not able to have his request to be made lieut enant honoured. Instead he joined the 74-gun HMS Berwick as a volunteer in 1779, under her captain, Keith Stewart.[3] He was appointed lieutenant of HMS Union b y Sir Charles Hardy, but the Admiralty refused to confirm the appointment and Hu nter returned to the Berwick as a volunteer in 1780, and went out the West Indie s. There he received a commission from the commander in chief, Sir George Rodney . Hunter returned to England aboard the Berwick in 1781, and was present at the Battle of Dogger Bank on 5 August that year.[4] Howe appointed him third lieuten ant of his flagship HMS Victory in 1782, and was advanced to first lieutenant by the time she took part in the relief of Gibraltar and the Battle of Cape Sparte l. Following these engagements Hunter was appointed to his first command, that o f the 14-gun sloop HMS Marquis de Seignelay, on 12 November 1782.[4] When the preparation of the First Fleet was in progress, Lord Howe, by then firs t lord of the admiralty, arranged for Hunter to be promoted to post captain on 1 5 December 1786, and appointed to command HMS Sirius. The fleet was under the ov erall command of Commodore Arthur Phillip, was going out to take up his post as governor of the new colony of New South Wales.[4] Hunter carried a dormant commi ssion as successor to Phillip if he should have died or was absent.[1] Explorations around Australia and Tasmania The expedition arrived in Port Jackson in January 1788. Hunter led an expedition to explore the Parramatta River early in 1788. This expedition explored and mad e soundings as far as Iron Cove, Five Dock Bay and Hen and Chicken Bay on the Pa rramatta River. The Sir William Dixson Research Library at the State Library of New South Wales holds the original copy of the chart of the expedition, entitled "Chart of the coasts and harbours of Botany-Bay, Port-Jackson and Broken-Bay, a s survey'd by Capt.n John Hunter of H.M.S. Sirius". The expedition was significa nt because it may have marked the first contact to take place between the Britis h and the Indigenous owners of the land, the Wangal Clan, in 1788. William Bradl ey's log says that this contact took place while Hunter was having breakfast and is remembered in the name of the suburb, Breakfast Point. Hunter was ordered to the Cape of Good Hope for supplies in October 1788. He sai led around Cape Horn to the Cape of Good Hope, and from there back to New South Wales in May 1789, thus performing the circumnavigation of the globe. The voyage was made more difficult by leaky state of the ship, which rendered continual pu mping necessary. Sirius was then refitted and sent to Norfolk Island with a larg e party of convicts, but was caught in a violent storm while anchored there. She was driven onto a coral reef and wrecked.[4] A number of the crew returned to P ort Jackson aboard the brig HMS Supply, the remainder, including Hunter, waited for nearly at year on the island before being taken off. Hunter and some of his men returned to England aboard the chartered vessel Waakzaamheid after a long an d arduous voyage. Finally arriving at Portsmouth in April 1792, Hunter was court -martialled for the loss of the Sirius but was honourably acquitted.[4] Hunter t hen prepared for publication his interesting An Historical Journal of the Transa ctions at Port Jackson and Norfolk Island, With the Discoveries That Have Been M ade in New South Wales and the Southern Ocean Since the Publication of Phillip's Voyage, published at the beginning of 1793. An abridged edition appeared later in the same year. In the first edition of this work is found the earliest refere nce to the possibility of there being a strait between the mainland and Tasmania . On page 126 Hunter says: "There is reason thence to believe, that there is in
that space either a very deep gulf, or a straight, which may separate Van Diemen 's Land from New Holland."[2] The French Revolutionary Wars having broken out during Hunter's time in England, he went to see again as a volunteer aboard the 100-gun HMS Queen Charlotte, the flagship of his old patron Lord Howe. Hunter was present at the Glorious First of June on 1 June 1794, and remained in the ship until 1795. With Arthur Phillip 's resignation from the governorship of New South Wales in July 1793, Hunter had applied for the position in October and was appointed governor in January 1794. Various delays occurred, and it was not until February 1795 that he was able to sail. Hunter arrived at Sydney on 7 September 1795 on HMS Reliance and took up the office of governor on 11 September 1795.[1] Governorship Hunter's difficulties began before he arrived back in Sydney. Phillip left the c olony in 1793, at the end of his term as governor, and for the following two yea rs the military were complete control. During the lieutenant-governorship of Fra ncis Grose, who unmercifully exploited the convicts, a great traffic in alcoholi c spirits sprang up, on which there was an enormous profit for the officers conc erned. They had obtained the control of the courts and the management of the lan ds, public stores, and convict labour. Hunter realised that these powers had to be restored to the civil administration, a difficult task. And in John Macarthur he had an opponent who would ruthlessly defend his commercial interests. Hunter found himself practically helpless. A stronger man might have sent the officers home under arrest, but had Hunter attempted to do so he likely would have preci pitated the rebellion which took place in William Bligh's time. Anonymous letter s were even sent to the home authorities charging Hunter with participation in t he very abuses he was striving to prevent. In spite of Hunter's vehement defence of the charges made against him, he was recalled in a dispatch dated 5 November 1799 from the Duke of Portland, one of the three secretaries of state.[1] Hunte r acknowledged this dispatch on 20 April 1800, and left for England on 28 Septem ber 1800, handing over the government to Lieutenant-Governor Philip Gidley King. When Hunter arrived he endeavoured to vindicate his character with the authorit ies but was given no opportunity. Hunter was obliged to state his case in a long pamphlet printed in 1802, Governor Hunter's Remarks on the Causes of the Coloni al Expense of the Establishment of New South Wales. Hints for the Reduction of S uch Expense and for Reforming the Prevailing Abuses,[1] which has become a valua ble document in early Australian history. Hunter was courageous, and a good officer, but the circumstances in which he was placed made it very difficult for him to be completely successful as a governor . As his successor Philip Gidley King said, his conduct was "guided by the most upright intentions", and he was "most shamefully deceived by those on whom he ha d every reason to depend for assistance, information, and advice." Of his sojour n in the colony Hunter said that he "could not have had less comfort, although h e would certainly have had greater peace of mind, had he spent the time in a pen itentiary". Hunter did good work in exploring and opening up the country near Sy dney, and also encouraged the explorations of Matthew Flinders and George Bass. Hunter continued his interest in Australia for long after he left it, and the su ggested reforms in his pamphlet were of much value. When the platypus was first discovered by Europeans in 1798, a pelt and sketch were sent back to the United Kingdom by John Hunter[5] Later life and legacy Hunter tomb in St John's Church Gardens In summer 1804 Hunter was given command of the 74-gun HMS Venerable, serving wit h the fleet off Brest under Admiral William Cornwallis. While sailing out of Tor bay on the evening of 24 November, a sudden fog came down. The ships of the flee t, unaware of each other's positions and their own location became disorganised. Hunter twice narrowly avoided colliding with other ships, but ran aground at 8p
m on the cliff near Paignton, and soon afterwards bilged.[4] A gale then struck the area, and with Venerable fast going to pieces, her crew were evacuated with little loss by HMS Impetueux. Hunter again underwent a court-martial, and was ag ain fully acquitted.[4] Hunter was promoted to rear-admiral on 2 October 1807, and then to vice-admiral on 31 July 1810 but never hoisted his flag at sea. Vice-Admiral John Hunter spen t his final years at Judd Street, New Road, Hackney, London; where he died on 13 March 1821.[4] His tomb can be seen in the churchyard of St John-at-Hackney. The Hunter River and Hunter Valley north of Sydney are both named after him, as is the suburb of Hunters Hill in Sydney, and (partly) the John Hunter Hospital i n Newcastle. In 1986 he was honoured on a postage stamp depicting his portrait i ssued by Australia Post.[6]

The numbers that you are about to see will not be included in Obama's State of the Union speech. They don't fit the "narrative" that Obama is trying to sell to the American people. But all of these statistics are accurate. They paint a picture of a middle class that is dying.
The Swiss Want Bars.. Of Gold Not Chocolate!


Here is a sneak preview of the latest photoshoot from our recently completed bespoke kitchen in Putney London. Take a look at the beautiful, soft contemporary, hand painted bespoke framed kitchen.
This recently finished kitchen in the heart of Putney in London, is a perfect example of the our 'soft contemporary' shaker style kitchens. Blending the best of the traditional style, with the convenience of all the modern appliances. The contemporary colours from Farrow and Ball, combined with the large Bi-ford Patio doors and modern kitchen bar stools, sit harmoniously with the original Aga and the Blue China. The Shaker Style is a timeless design, which is why it continues to thrive. It allows you to put different design elements together, which is why it continues to evolve.
Open the Bi-fold doors, fire up the chiminea and suddenly the patio becomes instant al-fresco dining. On warmer nights you can even take a dip in the pool to cool off.
This kitchen island has a built-in sink, Quartz countertops and a Siemens cooking hob. There is also plenty of storage for all the pots and pans you will need. At the breakfast bar, you can sit and enjoy the views out to the garden.
The lighting design plays a key role in the space without being too fussy. Select a setting depending on the time of evening, mood or task and the space suddenly transforms. The use of subtle under cabinet lighting set away from the walls help to evenly distribute light discreetly, whilst up lighting illuminates the ceiling adding warmth and depth. While pendant lights suspended above the island and breakfast bar, create an intimate focal point.

YCC legacy
Yonkers canoe club
YPRC was established by recreational paddlers after the Yonkers Canoe Club ceased active operations. After the YCC stopped active programs, several paddlers were allowed to store their boats in the clubhouse and served as the nucleus around which the YPRC was formed. YCC and YPRC shared the historic boathouse until 1999 when Westchester County leased the grounds to the newly incorporated YPRC. The Club has now grown to a 150 members, three locations, and multiple programs that serve the sport of paddling and the community. YPRC holds the legacy of the earlier Canoe Club dearly. We maintain their trophies in the conference room and are working on the historic archives in preparation for moving the papers to the Westchester Historical Society or the Yonkers Historical Society.
The Yonkers Canoe Club was founded in 1886, and incorporated in 1888. John Reeves was the first Commodore. The first regatta was held Saturday, September 25, 1886, and consisted of four races; a singles event in bucktail, a singles event in deck canoe, a tandems event in deck canoe, and an event for sailing without centerboard. It was raced over a one and a half mile course. This was an era when, according to Alex Poletsky, sportwriter for the Herald Statesman in the 1970's: "…the river was literally filled kayacs (sp), canoes and other self-propelled racing vessels. Weekend outings along the Hudson were commonplace occurances…"
The boat house was initially located at the Haberstraw site, on the top floor of a railroad company building just north of the present location. The first members were a mix of local Yonkers boys and older members of the Yonkers professional community.
According to veteran member and Olympic gold medalist, Steve Lysak, the boat club eventually moved to its present day location in 1938. Executing a design by Architect H. Lansing Quick, a founder of the club, members moved the building plank by plank to it's present site, an unused Westchester County dump. Each member had to contribute a barrel filled with stones to create footings for the clubhouse.
The club has had a proud history of competition on the local, regional, national and international levels. Until the 1980's it had active racing members. The YCC also ran youth programs to train young people affiliated with local schools and scouting troops how to use small boats such as canoes and kayaks safely, and how to race in them. At various times, Gorton High School, Saunders High School and Sacred Heart High School participated in these programs. The youth programs were quite active through the seventies and early eighties. Races were held on the Hudson, at Tibbets Brook Park, and the American Canoe Association facility at Lake Sebago in Harriman State Park. Twice the Yonkers Canoe Club participated in a bridge to bridge race from the Tappan Zee Bridge to the George Washington bridge.
On the level of National and international competition, the YCC has had an extensive track record. Until 1936 Olympic Flatwater Kayaking and Canoeing was an exhibition sport only. In 1936, the first year that it was an olympic event, the YCC sent John Lysak and Jim O'Rourke Sr. to compete in the 10,000 meter K-2. They placed 7th. According to a seventies era Herald Statesman article by sportwriter Alex Poletsky:
"…The Club has won 14 National Championships, the last being in 1958. During it's years of supremacy, the Yonkers Canoe Club was national champion from 1937-1940 and 1955-1958. But it's reputation for producing excellent teams did not stop at these shores.
Since the 1936, members of the Yonkers Canoe Club have competed in six Olympic Games. In 1948 Steve Lysak and Steve Macknowski took the gold medal in the 10,000 meter two-man singles and a silver medal in the 1,000 meter two-man singles.
Other club members to see action in the Olympics were: John Lysak and James O'Rourke, Sr. (1936); John Justin Anderson, Paul Bochnevich and Michael Budrock (1952); Russell Dermond and John Pagkos (1959 and 1960); and Joseph Dronzck and James O'Rourke Jr. (1964)."

Association of Exercise Capacity with Physical Functionality and Various Aspects of Fatigue in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease
Alexandra Nagy, Eszter Szabados, Attila Simon, Béla Mezey, Barbara Sándor, István Tiringer, K. Tóth, K. Bencsik, Árpád Csathó
The aim of this study was to examine associations between exercise capacity—indexed as the metabolic equivalent of the task—and various aspects of subjective fatigue, physical functionality, and depression in patients with coronary artery disease. A cross-sectional design was used. Patients with stable coronary artery disease (N = 240) underwent an exercise stress test and completed self-report assessments of depression, subjective physical limitations, vital exhaustion, and the impact of fatigue on physical, social, and cognitive functions. Associations between exercise capacity and these self-report variables were assessed using bivariate correlations and a series of multivariate regressions. Exercise capacity was negatively associated with vital exhaustion, physical limitations, and impact of fatigue on physical and social functioning but not on cognitive functioning. There was a marginal association between exercise capacity and depression. The associations between exercise capacity and fatigue remained significant even after controlling for effects of age, body mass index, gender, education, and comorbid diabetes mellitus. The main conclusion of the study is that in patients with coronary artery disease, exercise capacity has the strongest predictability for physical fatigue, but, importantly, it also independently predicts the feeling of loss of energy and malaise.

The Denver Broncos are going to the Super Bowl! Hooray for the home team!
It was sheer joy all across social media last night for Broncos fans — and the Broncos — as Peyton Manning and the gang beat (big time!) Tom Brady and the Patriots!
I loved the original ROCKY. The first sequel not so much. All the following sequels? I refused to watch them, as the magic was gone.
The ROCKY magic is back, only it now goes by the name of CREED.
My grandsons are sporty little squirts, but as a long-distance grandma, I have few opportunities to see their games and other athletic endeavors. Last week, though, I had the pleasure of attending one of Bubby's basketball games.
I was filled with pride at what a great team player Bubby is as well as how truly awesome the kid is on the court.
I'm pretty sure Mac would add to Edison's adage a fourth essential for achievement: frozen yogurt afterward!
