Donna The Buffalo – Night Under the Stars
Donna the Buffalo returns to Inspire Moore Winery on August 28th for a concert under the stars! Doors at 5PM, music starts at 6PM with openers Woven Home and Brothers Blue. Join us for some good wine and great music! $25 advance / $30 at the door.
Donna the Buffalo offers everything you want in a roots band — songs that matter, a groove that makes you dance, an audience that spans generations, and a musical voice that evokes a sense of community. Dance in the Street, their first new album in five years, captures the dynamic energy that has earned the band the love and respect of their fans, "the Herd", for thirty years.
Donna The Buffalo is well known for their lyrics about human potential and community. Throughout Dance in the Street, Jeb Puryear and Tara Nevins, the band's co-founders, share songs of social commentary and self empowerment. "We feel the album provides an enjoyable ride between the general and the personal, from both male and female perspectives," says Puryear.
Puryear took it upon himself to write a topical song after a friend slyly commented, "We could use some songs like you used to write." That off-handed remark led directly to "Dance in the Street," which falls somewhere between Bob Dylan and Bob Marley.

Voicing assimilation in Catalan three-consonant clusters
Daniel Recasens, Meritxell Mira
Electroglottographic and acoustic data for Catalan three-consonant clusters composed of a word- and syllable-final C1C2 sequence and an underlyingly voiced C3 in word- and syllable-initial position were collected in order to verify whether a regressive voicing assimilation process operates on all obstruents placed at the C2 and C1 sites. Data reveal the presence of low percentages of vocal fold vibration during final stops and fricatives, C3-dependent regressive voicing effects occurring to some extent during C2 but not during C1, and a more robust voicing interaction involving C1 and C2 and thus consonants placed within the same syllable and the same word. Moreover, except for perceptually and/or aerodynamically conditioned cases, voicing effects were found to be triggered by sonorants rather than by obstruents and the trill /r/ in agreement with the predictions of the Degree of Articulatory Constraint (DAC) model of coarticulation. Acoustic data for three-consonant cluster pairs differing in the underlying C3 voicing status show that speakers may use C2 duration and intensity (but not C1 or preceding vowel duration) as voicing cues. Taken together these results suggest that voicing assimilation in Catalan three-consonant cluster cannot be modeled as a long-distance regressive process, and is strongly dependent on syllable/word affiliation and on the manner and place of articulation characteristics of the consonants in the cluster. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

Facebook does away with "feeling fat" emoji after complaints
Justice News Flash by vision
03/10/2015 // West Palm Beach, Florida, US // JusticeNewsFlash // Justice News Flash // (press release)
California – Following a petition asserting that the "feeling fat" emoji option for status updates encourages negative views about one's body image, Facebook has confirmed that it will have it removed. As reported by WebProNews, the social media giant has left open the option for users to type the words in as a free-form submission, but will no longer feature it as its own emoji as with "chubby cheeks and a double chin."
A petition was launched last month by a group called Endangered Bodies on Change.org, calling for the removal of the emoji. The petition reportedly garnered more than 16,000 signatures.
Endangered Bodies is quoted as writing in a blog post regarding the petition, "Endangered Bodies sees this fear of fat and idealization of thinness throughout society as a form of weight stigma, which can have a serious impact on the millions of people dealing with negative body image. Body-shaming and weight stigma are associated with lower self-esteem and disordered eating, an issue that Facebook – being a social platform – needs to take seriously."
The group is also seeking to have the "feeling ugly" emoji removed, but the option so far remains.
A spokesperson for Facebook is quoted as stating to WebProNews of the matter, "We've heard from our community that listing 'feeling fat' as an option for status updates could reinforce negative body image, particularly for people struggling with eating disorders. So we're going to remove 'feeling fat' from the list of options. We'll continue to listen to feedback as we think about ways to help people express themselves on Facebook."

Welcome to the 59th edition of the Carnival of Money Stories, a carnival where we share personal experiences with money. I enjoyed reading all the article submissions and have selected 16 articles in this edition. You can learn more about the Carnival of Money Stories at their home Page here. If your article was not included in this edition it probably did not have a personal story relating to money. Check out this weeks article submissions and make your financial journey smoother by learning from experiences and mistakes from others.
I applied to Harvard on a whim, … I started the application, handwritten, in black ink and when that pen died I finished in blue ink. I did it because one of my friends told me there was no way I could get in, and I took the bet.
The thing is, sometimes the banks get really tricky with the requirements. Sometimes there are obscure terms and conditions in tiny print …the banks play dirty.
So there I was at the McDonald's drive-thru with a dead check card, an over-the-limit credit card, an empty wallet and exactly fifteen cents in the change holder in my truck.
Not being one to turn down a coupon, I sorted through them, and found that most of them were for things we don't buy or use.
In fact, it is more like gambling than investing!
Thats it for this weeks edition of the Carnival of Money Stories. You can submit your money stories using this form here. If you are interested in hosting a future edition of the Carnival of Money Stories please go to the carnival home page under hosting.
It's that time again for another year of gift opening, eggnog drinking and spending time with your loved ones. This day a year ago was the first edition of the carnival of money stories and I am very glad that it has made it this far. I want to thank all the hosts and story submitters for their hard work and efforts.
As for todays edition, I will be extending the deadline for another week so that we can get more stories. We had plenty of awesome entries, but most of them were not stories dealing with money or experiences so I could not include them. Please remember that this carnival is specifically just for stories and experiences. So it will be hosted here on January 2nd here at Money Walks. You can use this submission form to submit your stories.
Have a safe and a joyful break!
Welcome to Moneywalks and the 83rd edition of the Festival of Frugality. If this is your first time here, I encourage you to browse the archives after the festival and if you like what you see you can subscribe to my feed.
I think this is a great definition of frugality. That is why I have chosen this definition as a baseline for this festival and have broken down into 7 strategies for frugality. This way, reader can pick what part of frugality they want to read about. But before we start, I want to thank all the contributors for their submissions, I learned so much from reading all the posts. I hope you can get out as much information out of this festival just as I have. Many great tips and suggestions here, also I made an asterisks(*) on the ones that I particularly enjoyed.
Buy American – Frugality Strategy?
Do My Frugal Ways Harm Workers?

Once again, I want to thank all the authors for their fantastic articles and don't miss out on the next edition over at The Frugal Law Student.
Welcome to the Carnival of Debt Reduction #92. I hope everyone had a wonderful fathers day weekend.
First of all, I want to thank John of Might Bargain Hunter for giving me the opportunity to host this edition. I was really surprised to see the number of submissions to this edition, it was really low.

Stewart Hsu shares his experience on "Advice from a Billionaire".
Editors Note: Stewart's right, its not everyday that you get the chance to hear a billionaire speak about their experiences and their success stories. This article points out some useful tips from a billionaire. Stewart says "Sitting in the audience, what made him so compelling was the genuineness and warmth in which he spoke; I personally felt he was speaking from his heart".
Family Finance Blog tells us "How to get out of debt – one day at a time".
Editors Note: "Debt is one of the easiest things in the world to get into and one of the hardest to get out of. There are thousands upon thousands of tips for getting out of debt whether it be slowly or quickly". FFB is right, debt is so easy and so inviting with hard temptations and once you're in debt its so hard to get out of. Like what FFB says, take it one day at a time.
The Happy Rock posts, "Having Goals Is Great, But Having Purpose Is Better".
Golden Fleece Blog on "Bundling Cable, Phone, and Internet Costs More".
Editors Note: Amy has a debt of 72,000 and she wants to pay it off by April 2009. Now that's a great goal, shes going to have to pay roughly 3,000 each month to pay that off in time. MBH says, "I wonder why there's not the same urgency for people to pay off their mortgages".

That about concludes this edition of the Carnival of Debt Reduction. I hope you will take many tips from these articles and apply them somehow in your life. I hope you will have a great week. Submit your articles for the next edition of Carnival of Debt Reduction here.
Welcome to the 13th edition of the Carnival of Money Stories! This week we had a little over 30 great article submissions, however since majority of the submissions did not have a personal story or experience behind it, I had to omit most of it. Remember guys, Carnival of Money Stories is strictly dedicated to articles with some kind of personal story and/or experience involving finance so if your article did not have either or, then it was not included in the carnival. For awesome articles that does not fit the Money Stories, there is the Carnival of Personal Finance.
For this edition, I've decided to take the popular "Chicken Soup for the Soul" idea as my theme but instead filled with money stories with pictures. There is a total of 14 great stories and I put them each into their own perspective chapters or topics. In order to get to the story, just click on the picture. Anyway, without further delay, I present to you the Carnival of Money Stories #13 :Chicken Soup for the Financial Soul.
So that concluded this weeks Carnival of Money Stories. I want to thank all the contributors for their great work.
The next edition of Money Stories will be hosted Monday over at Frugal Law Student, don't miss it! You can submit your money stories here.
Hey guys, I'm going to be hosting the next edition of the Carnival of Money Stories #13 here at Moneywalks, so if you have any money stories please submit here.
Also, please keep in mind that you should only submit articles that are stories or experience dealing with finances. I've already received tons of articles that were just personal finance and has no personal experience/stories behind it and I'm going to have to reject for the carnival.
Anyway, have a great weekend and check back on monday for the upcoming carnival.

WINCHESTER, Va. - Jamie Hiegel and Calista Ariel both took the top spot at the ODAC Championship meet to earn the men's and women's individual titles. Their top finishes help lead both the men and the women to third place finishes at the conference meet.
The men earned 79 points to put them in third place for the second year in a row. Washington and Lee grabbed the top spot with 27 points and Lynchburg finished second with 60 points. Hiegel defends his title from a year ago to become a two-time ODAC Champion, running the 8K in 25:24.9. Hiegel's time was over 30 seconds faster than the second place competitor.
Robert Theimer also had an outstanding meet after finishing in 26:52.3 to earn 9th place and All-ODAC honors. Johnny Haizel-Cobbina was the next Eagle to finish, running a 27:52.5 for 22nd. One spot behind was Joshua Wilt in 23rd with a 28:10.8. John Denlinger ran a 28:26.5 for 28th place. Rounding out the Eagle men were Noah Howell in 37th with a 28:55.5 and Kenneth Sullivan in 41st with a 29:20.2.
The women took home third, improving from their fourth place finish a year ago. Washington and Lee also captured the women's title with 34 points followed by Lynchburg with 39 points.

It was a day of unforgettable divine encounter at a powerful vigil organized recently by Christ Apostolic Church Youth Fellowship (CACYOF), Babalola Region, Oyo Centre.
The programme which was held at CAC Oke-Ado, Oke Ibukun DCC headquarters with the theme "And He Shall Come, That Owns It" was centered on prayers for restoration to the rightful Owner, every virtue, glory, honour, position, power, dignity, destinies etc. the enemies have forcefully or cunningly taken from the supposed rightful owner.
Special Guest Minister was the CAC Youth Officer, Pastor Samson O. Gbuyiro who was ably represented by Pastor Christopher Ademuyiwa the Babalola Region Youth Coordinator.
The programme had different prayer sessions. Prayer session 1 was anchored by Pastor Mathew Efi from Oke Ado DCC, prayer session 2 by Evang Bukola Oyedeji from Ogbomoso Unit, prayer session 3 by Pastor J.O. Oluwasanmi from Ibadan Unit and Prayer session 4 by Pastor Oke from Iseyin Unit.


Since he was a child, my son has been aspiring to go to Japan. When he was in junior high school, he convinced me to buy him a CD-Rom at Books-A-Million so he could learn Japanese. I played along with his dream, assuming it, like my junior high dream of becoming a surfer girl like Gidget, would change as he grew older. It did not.
I have no idea where my son's fascination with Japan came from unless it was the old photo albums, the kind with black pages and triangular corner stickers that held the black-and-white photos to the page, pictures Daddy took with a Kodak during the Korean War when he was stationed in Japan. Or maybe from the anime and manga my son's age group was enthralled with. After all, I do still have the surfer's cross I wore when I was thirteen.
This spring break, John David finally made his trip to Japan. He didn't go with a tour or even a travel buddy. He took off on his own, hoping his self-taught Japanese would help him survive. As I write this column, he is on his way back to Auburn from the Atlanta airport, and I am breathing a sigh of relief, but am also thrilled that he got to fulfill his dream.
He has sent photos along the way: sleeping in a pod during a long layover in the Beijing airport, packed in therapeutic black sand on a beach in Beppu, having shōchūwith smiling new Japanese friends, and gazing out over the beautiful rice fields in Uchinari. I can hardly wait to hear the stories behind the pictures.
With cherry blossoms fair/And charming manners rare.
I guess DNA runs deep. Now if I could just explain why I still have that 50-year-old surfer's cross tucked safely away in my jewelry box.

Gorgias of Leontini
Gorgias was born around 380 BCE, in the Greek city state of Leontini, on the East coast of Sicily Northeast of Syracuse, the storied site of the first rhetoric. He emigrated to Athens with a Sicilian delegation in 427 BCE. He may have been a student of Empedocles. He was known for his high style and for importing poetic figures from the drama into oratory. His extant texts are demonstrations from his Technai, and include The Encomium of Helen, On the Nonexistent, Defense of Palamedes, and Epitaphs.

I've been spending the past week saying goodbye. Goodbye Mary. Goodbye Jane. Will we ever meet again? Yes, we will.
I think that's why it hasn't really bothered me too much saying goodbye to people. I know I'll be back and I know when that will be. When people find out how long I'll be gone for, I hear the same refrain of, "Twenty-seven months? That's a long time." It is and it isn't. I like to look at it this way, by the time I get back those twenty-seven months will be about a twelfth of my life. Every day I'm home after that will make it a smaller portion of my life.
Plus, with the state of technology I don't think I'll actually ever be away. Physically yes. But I guarantee you that you'll be able to get your fix of Danny online almost any time. The Peace Corps tries to mentally prepare us for not having access to the internet, but I think I one upped them. They won't have to worry about my worries. I'll have the internet on my Kindle. Emails will be easiest for me, but I'll still be able to post blogs and even Facebook. I'll just do it slower.
There will be a Jane or a Mary that I've been preparing for never seeing again. But that's life. People get old and they die. Accidents happen. People move with no intention of coming home. I get that. I'm hoping I don't have to deal with it, but I get it.
I've caught myself intentionally not thinking about leaving people behind . It makes me sad knowing that in a week, I won't be seeing them for quite some time. It's an inevitable fact. About a week ago, my mom expressed her surprise that she hasn't started crying yet. The tears finally came this past Saturday at my going away party. Eventually, they'll come for me.
And now I'm off to do my last bit of scheduled goodbyes. Just know goodbye is not forever.


The practice won a limited competition to masterplan the college's residential campus around Princes Gardens. There are vacant sites between the remains of the Victorian stuccoed terraces and Sheppard Robson's huge Corbusian hostels, both of which are now listed. The scheme currently being negotiated is for 170 student rooms above a new underground sports centre design by Arup Associates. mjp has carried out feasibility studies for adaptation to the listed 1960s buildings and for other infill sites around the gardens.
The need for the masterplan for the East site resulted from the merging of Queen Mary with Westfield College and land acquisitions. More than 400 student rooms and communal facilities have been designed and built in four phases since 1986. Some of the residential sites are quite deep, hence the massing idea which puts five-storey buildings in the hinterland looking over and between three-storey pavilions, thus enabling all to share the prospect to the Grand Union Canal and to Mile End Park. The recently planted College Green extends this idea even deeper into the campus, giving surrounding sites a foreground setting as well as prospects to the park.
A modified design-and-build procurement route was chosen for these projectsto achieve tight cost control with a low budget.

Enjoying the Majestic view up high on Great Trango Tower. Andres Marin collection.
Alone on the Great Trango Tower
By Uphill Athlete on	 October 23, 2018 Athlete Stories
by Uphill Athlete Andres Marin
My recent solo of the Great Trango Tower isn't the biggest or most difficult thing I have done, but it is the most meaningful. I climb without a rope all the time around Colorado, and I have climbed mountains by myself, but for me soloing Great Trango Tower represents the next level: a 20,000-foot mountain in the middle of Pakistan, and I was up there by myself. I came back to base camp and came down from my high, and I realized the magnitude of what I had done. I had an alone moment on a huge mountain in the Karakoram. It's hard to put into words.
I'm not a naturally gifted athlete. I have always had to train and keep to a routine to see gains in my climbing. Four years ago, I decided to retire from the ice climbing World Cup circuit and shift to doing more big mountains and expeditions. I knew I would need to work on my aerobic endurance in order to be more efficient up high.
Climbing on the upper slopes of The Great Trango Tower (19,600 feet) before heading up the last head wall on our first acclimatization climb. By Anna Pfaff
Steve House is a dear friend of mine, and we climb together all the time. I'd already been picking his brain about training and how to improve when he and Scott Johnston launched Uphill Athlete. I began working with Scott, following a series of 8-week custom plans. Then earlier this year, I moved to working one-on-one with coach Carolyn Parker. I have known Carolyn for many years, from guiding and skiing, so it has been wonderful to reconnect with her on this level.
For my latest expedition, a North Face–sponsored trip to the Trango Towers in Pakistan, Carolyn got me ready with a lot of vertical, a lot of aerobic base training, a lot of rock climbing, and a lot of time at altitude. She told me what to do, and I did it. Having a full-time coach, it's crazy the improvements I have seen. It's night and day. All those mornings where I woke up early to walk really slowly uphill paid off in a big way when I reached the towers.
My teammates on the expedition were fellow North Face athletes Anna Pfaff, who spearheaded the trip (and trains with Steve), and David Allfrey. Our plan was to climb the Great Trango Tower via the 1984 American Route and the Trango Tower (Nameless Tower) via Eternal Flame—one of the biggest rock faces in the world, and our main objective for the trip.
A incredible view of most of the American 1984 route of the GTT from our bivy at 18,500 during our climb of the Nameless Tower. Andres Marin collection.
I had climbed big walls before—in Zion and Yosemite—but never as the primary objective of an expedition. Usually my expeditions take me to high-altitude alpine faces in places people have never been before. They're exploratory, often involving more snow and ice climbing than rock climbing. The fact that we were doing an existing route definitely took a bit of the edge off the whole experience. It was refreshing knowing there would be an established path to follow, and that given our collective skill level, we'd most likely get to the top.
We used the Great Trango Tower to acclimatize, then after a couple days in high camp, we pushed up the 20,500-foot-tall Trango Tower. Eternal Flame, perhaps one of the most famous routes on that formation, is a huge climb—like climbing El Capitan and a little bit more. It was on the journey between the two towers that this crazy idea started growing in my mind, becoming more and more insistent: What if I climbed the American Route on the Great Trango Tower alone and in a single push, base camp to base camp? It would be about 14,000 feet of elevation change in one day, involving a fair amount of technical climbing on a remote peak in Pakistan. The idea grew in me like a challenge. There were a whole bunch of question marks, but my curiosity and my confidence in my fitness outpaced the doubts and fear. I was recovering well after Eternal Flame, and I had energy in the tank. I decided to go for it. Something of this magnitude, a climb that would have been out of the realm of possibility three years ago, suddenly seemed within reach, like the odds had tipped in my favor.
One week after we climbed the American Route as a threesome, I left base camp super early and with minimal gear, promising Anna and David I'd keep in touch via radio. The conditions were icier on Great Trango than they had been our first time up. Where before I was able to walk sideways or high-step, I now needed to front-point. With thousands of feet of air under my heels, I had to stay focused the entire time. One mistake and I would be toast. To bring my anxiety down, I zeroed in on the basics: I monitored my heart rate, trying to stay aerobic, and I ate when I needed to and drank as much water as possible. My focus narrowed to accomplishing the day's goal, one step at a time.
A celebratory selfie on top of the Great Trango Tower. The stoked was at its highest. Andres Marin collection.
I went from 13,000 feet to 17,500 feet, where our previous high camp was and where the true climbing began, up through rock bands, ice, and snow. I was still feeling pretty good when I reached the summit. K2, Broad Peak, and Masherbrum dominated the mountains spread out in front of me, and when I turned around, there was this different landscape of massive big walls, some of the most iconic in the world. I was surrounded by one of the most majestic views nature has to offer.
Once I'd taken it all in, I began my descent, a mix of rappelling and tenuous downclimbing. I lost time when I kept getting my small-diameter rope stuck in naked V-threads, at one point having to reclimb a pitch to free the rope. These small snafus slowed me down, but fortunately they were the extent of it. When you feel really good physically, you feel really good mentally as well. You have extra energy to deal with the annoyances—the little things that can take a gradual toll on you if you aren't as fit or well prepared.
I made it back to base camp in one piece. The entire climb took me 11 hours, 38 minutes, which is extremely fast for a route like that. I let my adrenaline go down and let the experience soak in. This adventure, and the training it took to make it possible, opened my eyes and my world to a new range of opportunities and desires. I'm already dreaming of future projects I can do in a similar style. I'm stoked to resume my training because I have seen that if you put the time in, the sky's the limit. I emerged with a different mindset.

Canon celebrates second anniversary of its Miraisha sustainability programme in Africa
London, UK – 13th December 2016 – Canon Europe, leader in imaging, celebrates a significant milestone for one of its core sustainability programmes, Miraisha, as it reaches its two-year anniversary. The programme, which is run closely with Canon Central & North Africa and has trained over 2,500 participants since its inception in 2014, aims to promote job opportunities in Africa by offering workshops to photographers, videographers, film-makers and print business owners.
Miraisha, which means future livelihood – 'Mirai' being future in Japanese and 'Maisha' being livelihood in Swahili – provides people with the skills to develop their careers in professional photography or print by utilising Canon's core expertise in imaging and its network of professionals. Initiatives range from fashion and street photography classes to filmmaking workshops and print training for SMEs.
Stuart Poore, Director of Sustainability at Canon Europe commented, "The Miraisha programme truly embodies our corporate philosophy of Kyosei: living and working together for the common good. In just two years, it has already achieved impressive results and had a major impact on the lives and businesses of participants – more than 140 photographers have received work with a paid commission and more than 20 have received awards and recognition for their work. Print shop owners have also benefited, for example, one has won a contract from a large African Bank, citing the training from Canon being a winning factor for them. We are absolutely dedicated to the Miraisha programme and look forward to carrying out many more seminars, workshops, training and mentorships in the future."
A summary of key initiatives from the programme so far include:
Ghanaian Professional Print Excellence Training – Canon is currently working with local business partner, MFI Ghana, and not-for-profit organisation, Invest in Africa, to deliver training to 22 local Professional Printers in the Accra region. The training focuses on improving the entrepreneurial, business management and technical skills of employees, helping local SMEs meet the print demands of multinational companies active in Ghana, who may otherwise have looked outside of the area.
Photography workshops with Canon Master, Gary Knight – the world renowned photojournalist has run a number of workshops in Kenya and Nigeria, to not only train, teach and mentor, but build and bring together a community of photographers in Africa. Among the 57 participants who have taken part in the workshops, many have had stories published in magazines and newspapers including, Vogue Italia online and The Standard (Kenya). One student won the Discovery Award at the Recontres d'Arles 2016 for her project, 'Stranger in a Familiar Land'.
Film and Photography Excellence Programme in partnership with Kenyatta University – Canon will work closely with Kenyatta University as part of a three-year partnership, delivering practical and theoretical training to students through a structured photography and film programme. Students are able to experience hands-on time with the latest equipment during the intensive training sessions.
Film and Photography Excellence Programme in partnership with NAFTI – Canon and the National Film and TV Institute, Ghana (NAFTI), agreed to a three-year partnership, with the goal of creating new and rewarding careers for creative young professionals. Isaac Yeboath, a student who took part in a recent workshop said, "It pays to stay abreast with leading standards and champions, especially in a fast changing field such as photography – this workshop was perfect for just that!"

Most people would wish to catch trophy catfish during a lake fishing expedition. In that line, you may have tried to figure out the easiest way of finding the biggest catfish. You would have to make sure that you learn a few techniques that can allow you find the largest catfish in the lake. You would need to note that the habits of the catfish do not change whether they are in the lake, in the rivers, stream or even in the creek. You would also need to note that the size of the catfish tend to depend on the body of the water where you ae fishing. When fishing in the lake, you have even higher chances of catching a large catfish as compared to when you are fishing in a river or even a stream.
Among the places you should start your fishing with include rocks and boulders. You would do this using a fishing sonar. In a case where you find a big rock under the water, you can be sure that your chances of finding a big catfish are even higher. It would be wise to know that rocks with better hiding places tend to best harbor the trophy catfish.
The river mouths to the lake are yet other places you should consider trying your lack. It is also common to find catfish in places where the river drops in the lake. Catfish tend to be lazy in nature and hence will wait at the bottom of the lake for food to pour from the river. As a result, you would need to hang around where there are chances that you will find some big fish.
You would also need to remember that the depth tend to play a pivotal role in determining places where you find catfish. When it comes to climate, catfish tends to be more active while they search for shallower and warmer places especially during winter making summer the best time to go for catfish fishing in a lake. During winter, there are chances that catfish will be less active and hence narrow your chances of catching a trophy one. Moving slowly while fishing is also a golden rule when it comes to lake catfish fishing. Bearing in mind that catfish tend to be lazy, you would need to have a bait right at their disposal. It is also advisable for you as a fisherman to make sure that you use a smelly bait. Catfish tend to locate food based on its scent something you would need to take advantage of.

Q: Full Strength of Arzela-Ascoli We define a family of functions $\mathcal{F}$ on a domain $\Omega$ to be equicontinuous if for each point $x \in \Omega$ and any $\epsilon > 0$, there is a $\delta_x > 0$ such that $|f(x) - f(y)| < \epsilon$ whenever $| x - y| < \delta_x$ for all $f \in \mathcal{F}$.
Define a family of functions $\mathcal{F}$ on a domain $\Omega$ to be uniformly equicontinuous if for any $\epsilon > 0$, there is a $\delta > 0$ such that $|f(x) - f(y)| < \epsilon$ whenever $| x - y| < \delta$ for all $f \in \mathcal{F}$ and for all $x \in \Omega$.
The Arzela-Ascoli theorem is sometimes stated for the second class of families, but in fact it is true for both.  I am reading a book that proves it only for the second, and they make the comment that the full version is almost never needed in applications.  Since this is a complex analysis book I can definitely believe that, but I am wondering if there are any important results that have needed the full strength.
Thanks!

Kate Mosse's books are available for download at Audible.com. Read excerpts of Labyrinth and Sepulchre at Kate Mosse's website.
CLICK HERE FOR MORE TITLES BY KATE MOSSE.
Kate Mosse's Labyrinth has one of the best premises for a novel I've heard in a long time: two women, one from the past, one from the present, both caught up in a search for the Holy Grail. The former is entrusted with one of three books leading to the Grail's hiding place, whilst the latter becomes entangled in a conspiracy concerning its rediscovery.
Kate Mosse's Sepulchre is a historical fantasy — historical fiction with fantastic elements. I enjoy both genres, and this novel features a female graduate student (somebody I can relate to) as one of the main characters, and it's available for download at Audible, so I thought it would be good entertainment on my commute. I got about ten chapters in before quitting.
Citadel by Kate MosseI have a strange relationship with books by Kate Mosse. On the one hand, I love the atmosphere and descriptive qualities of her work — it transports you to the south of France in vivid prose; filled with the sights, sounds and smells of another time and place. She clearly loves the history and ambience of the Languedoc, and every page is filled with sensory detail.
On the other hand, Mosse's plots are slow and rambling, packed full of extraneous details and unnecessary subplots. Often chapters can go by where nothing particularly interesting or important happens, and with a little ruthless editing I'm sure each book's length could be halved.
First of all, it's important to note that Kate Mosse's The Winter Ghosts is nowhere near the same length as her other works, particularly her best-known books Labyrinth, Sepulchre and Citadel. It's best described as a novella, one which can probably be read in one sitting (it took me two). Your enjoyment will probably hinge on knowing beforehand that this isn't a dense holiday read, but a thinly-plotted though atmospheric story about a man's brush with the supernatural, told predominantly in his own words.

Google to Build Headquarters in Mountain View
While Google may be a leader in business and technology, the company wants to lead in sustainability as well. Preparing to build their new headquarters in Mountain View, California, they've hired the award-winning German architecture firm Ingenhoven Architects. Their first project in the U.S., Ingenhoven was given a specific and direct mandate from their newest client: build the greenest, most sustainable building possible. It's likely Google has found the right match with the German firm, as Ingenhoven maintains a world-class reputation for sustainable design, having won numerous environmental awards for buildings like the Main Station in Stuttgart, Germany, a train terminal that is zero-energy, meaning it's a carbon free structure that requires no heating, cooling or any sort of mechanized ventilation. Construction on the new Google headquarters is scheduled to begin in 2012. via: ArchDaily

If, like me, you enjoy nothing better than to be outside (especially in glorious weather like this!) then YOU NEED ONE OF THESE!
Last month we were sent the JJ Cole picnic blanket to review - and we have pretty much used it every day since it arrived.
The JJ Cole blanket is much larger than any others I've seen - 5ft square in fact - which makes it big enough for the whole family - plus it's made from a durable and waterproof outer fabric (great for damp grass in slightly cooler weather), with a wipe clean inner lining which is perfect when little people make picnicky messes on it. Which happens a lot when you have children that are obsessed with houmous. It's also brilliant now that Evie has started to crawl, as it's slightly padded and so is super soft for her hands and knees.
We opted for the multicoloured stripey lining, which has a grey and red exterior, and I'm totally in love with it.
It's small enough to fit in our stroller basket (or it can be hung from the handles) and it is so lightweight that you genuinely don't notice that it's there, even when you're carrying it on your shoulders. This is probably why it has been on so many outings with us! We just keep it in the basket so it's with us whenever we're away from home - and it really has proved to be super handy!
It's been out for picnics in our local park, to Daisy's sports day, to Richmond Green to watch the cricket, to Legoland and to the beach - and we've been using it in our back garden too.


For all of you who ordered the Comma Sutra and Writer's Clock purses, the beagle wants you to know that she has glue where a lady shouldn't have glue. She always was an ingrate.
I, however, thank all of you and hope you enjoy your new purses and draw LOTS of attention. After all, is that what writers aspire to?

No One's Sonata director Goldberg said it felt like "a gift" to have the collaborators back at the O'Neill. "We've just begun the very first exploration of this new piece that fuses these songs with this psychological story of a family haunted by their devastating past. Also, to hear the songs of Mahler get 'Sheikified' yesterday in rehearsal was particularly exciting," she added. Also on deck and "very much alive" is Alice By Heart, Sheik and Sater's musical based on Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" that is directed by Lear deBessonet (Good Person of Szechwan, The Tempest) and features a book by Sater and Jessie Nelson (currently collaborating with Sara Bareilles on the Broadway-aimed Waitress).
Following a 2012 U.K. developmental premiere, the piece was workshopped by Theatre Aspen last summer and additional closed readings followed this past winter and spring. The team is hopeful that Alice By Heart will find life at a regional theatre next season. Read more about it here.
Returning to the news of Spring Awakening's Broadway return, Sater said that he and Sheik were rather hands-off during the LA run of the Deaf West production – which they attended several times – but intend to be "very much involved" in the revival's New York transfer, including auditions.
Sater praised the work of director Michael Arden and Deaf West Theatre, who retell the story with a cast of deaf and hearing actors.
"It's quite an affecting production," Sater said. "It's so beautiful how it's being expressed and the physical realization of the story. I've seen Spring Awakening translated into so many languages, but I wasn't really prepared to see it translated into silence and the language of silence. It was such a moving experience.
"When the opportunity came for it to come back to New York, it opened our hearts again in a way. Everything is happening so quickly. We're re-arranging our schedules to be part of this."
Spring Awakening begins previews Sept. 8 at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre.

Q: Using multiple mapped types for objects key/values. Need only one value from union? Having some trouble trying to get the type to work correctly here.
I want to specify in an object that each top-level key is one of the strings from a union, and the value is a nested object that has keys of one of the strings from another union, and its value can be the string from the first union (kind of like a state-machine).
Eg:
type Status = 'idle' | 'loading' | 'error' | 'view'
type Actions = 'search' | 'search_success' | 'search_failure'

const app = {
  idle: {
    search: 'loading'
  },
  loading: {
    search_success: 'view',
    search_fail: 'error',
  },
  error: {
    search: 'loading'
  }
  view: {
    search: 'loading'
  }
}

My attempts to type this have been:
type States = { [key in Status]: { [key in Actions]: Status } };

Though this doesn't work. Could somebody explain how I could make use of some utility types possibly to allow the nested object key to not require ALL values from the Actions type?
Thanks!

A: I simplified your code a bit.
This definition
type Status = 'idle' | 'loading'
type State = { [key in Status]: any}

is equivalent to
type State = {
  idle: any;
  loading: any;
}

Therefor, the following code is invalid
const foo: State = {
  idle: true
}

because it's missing the prop loading.
A solution - make the props optional
type Status = 'idle' | 'loading' | 'error' | 'view'
type Actions = 'search' | 'search_success' | 'search_failure'

type States = { [key in Status]?: { [key in Actions]?: Status } };

const app: States = {
  idle: {
    search: 'loading'
  },
  loading: {
    search_success: 'view',
    search_failure: 'error',
  },
  error: {
    search: 'loading'
  },
  view: {
    search: 'loading'
  }
}

playground

A: The answer from @MoshFeu looks like it'll work fine, but as I've written this up, I'll post it to say that you can get more or less the same thing with a Partial:
type Status = 'idle' | 'loading' | 'error' | 'view'
type Actions = 'search' | 'search_success' | 'search_failure'

type States = { [key in Status]: Partial<{ [key in Actions]: Status }> };

const app: States = {
  idle: {
    search: 'loading'
  },
  loading: {
    search_success: 'view',
    search_failure: 'error',
  },
  error: {
    search: 'loading'
  },
  view: {
    search: 'loading'
  }
};


The cryptocurrency market has returned over 900% since the beginning of 2017 (at the time of writing this). You cannot find these kinds of return on investments in the stock market or anywhere. If you had made an investment of $500 in January, you would have made $5000 in less than a year (!). This type of strategy is known as long-term investing, and this guide is aiming to show you how to implement this investment method – to construct a long-term cryptocurrency portfolio.
Long-term investing is simply as its name says – taking a long-term view of investments. Everyone defines 'long-term' differently. In the stock market, 'long-term' normally means anything that lasts years… However, given the fact that the cryptocurrency market moves extremely quickly, we can scale that number down to couple of months or a year. If we look at stock market investment, the legendary investor, Warren Buffet, is an advocate of long-term investment because of the many advantages it has to offer.
Historical statistical data of a growing economy has proven that it works: Looking at the S&P 500 over a 5-year period, it has achieved a return of around 60%. The same can be said for the FTSE 100, which achieved a return of 25% over the same time period. Markets generally tend to trend upwards over a period of time, so with this in mind, long-term investing does have its merits. This can be said not only about the last 5 years, but for almost every 5 years throughout the history of the new economy.
Lower fees: If you take an active trading approach to investing, then it is expected that fees from exchanges will trim your profits. With a long-term investment strategy, all the investor has to do is select a few cryptocurrencies, and then wait. A long-term investor does not trade every day, therefore, they do not have to worry about trading fees.
Less risky: Dipping in and out of the market could mean that you miss days in which significant gains are made. You don't have to worry about this with a long-term investment strategy. Keeping in mind that fact, in order to reduce volatility, we recommend getting into the market using the DCA method.
Now that the benefits of a long term-investment strategy have been made clear, it is also important to consider which cryptocurrencies you want in your long-term portfolio, or how to build your portfolio. Before that, let's identify some indicators that we can use to measure the potential of the crypto project in the long term. These are just a few indicators that we have identified; feel free to include yours in the comments section below.
Market share: this can be defined as the proportion of market capitalization that a cryptocurrency has. A large market share typically indicates dominance. For example, Bitcoin's market share is currently 60% (at the time of writing) of total market capitalization of the cryptocurrency space. We can use this as an indicator to determine the long-term viability of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, in our portfolio.
Utility value: when determining if a cryptocurrency will be here in a few years from now, we have to ask ourselves, is the cryptocurrency useful? Does it have a users' market? This question is important because it is the most useful cryptocurrencies that are likely to be widely adopted. Take Ethereum for example, its utility value derives from its function of allowing developers to build Decentralized Applications (DApps) on top of its blockchain. We can conclude that, as long as Ethereum is the go-to-place for DApp development, it is likely to maintain, and possibly increase, its utility value. Therefore, Ethereum would be a viable cryptocurrency to include in our portfolio.
Transaction volume: in order to determine whether a cryptocurrency is actually being used, you can take a look at its transaction volume. In the case of Ethereum, its transaction volume per day is about 500,000 ETH. Historically, this is a number that is increasing and as long as this upward trend continues this reaffirms the long-term viability of holding Ethereum in our portfolio.
Technology development: this is a key aspect in cryptocurrency. If the technology behind a cryptocurrency is not fit for purpose, then it is likely that in the long-term, the cryptocurrency will fail. An example of a positive technological development is Ethereum's recent Byzantium hard fork. This hard fork allowed for more transactions to be processed on the Ethereum blockchain. This positive technological development increases the likelihood of Ethereum being widely adopted, and so once again makes it a viable candidate for our portfolio.
Market news: it can emerge that a cryptocurrency is having a problem, and depending on what that problem is, it can significantly affect its long-term viability. Market news will affect the price of your cryptocurrency, and the value of your portfolio, so it is imperative that you are ready to react. As well as market news, other factors can also affect the price of cryptocurrency, which can be found here. Overall, it is important to stay up-to-date with market news involving cryptocurrencies in your portfolio, so that you can make informed investment decisions.
These are just some indicators that you can use to determine the long-term viability of a cryptocurrency. With this in mind, we can now turn to portfolio construction, more specifically, what percentage of each cryptocurrency we should hold in our portfolio.
Exposure to a particular cryptocurrency is primarily dependent on your risk appetite. This can be defined simply as, your tolerance towards taking risk. Using traditional investment markets as an example, if your tolerance towards risk is neutral, then a typical investment portfolio would be 50% equities and 50% bonds. Equities are known to be riskier than bonds, but also offer higher returns as a result. Conversely, bonds tend to be a safer asset than stocks, but offer a lower return over time as a result. Combined together, a balanced portfolio is produced, not too much risk, but also not too safe.
If we apply this to cryptocurrency, we can draw some parallels between the traditional markets and the cryptocurrency market. One would typically regard Bitcoin as being less risky than an unknown altcoin. From this, we can then tailor our level of exposure to suit our risk appetite. For example, a very risky portfolio might be 80% in small-cap cryptocurrency and 20% in Bitcoin. Using the information we have gathered so far, we can now construct our own long-term portfolio.
DISCLAIMER: Recommendations and Information found on Cryptopotato are those of writers quoted. It does not represent the opinions of Cryptopotato on whether to buy, sell or hold any investments. Investors should be cautious about any recommendations given. All investors are advised to conduct their own independent research into individual coins before making a purchase decision. Use information at your own risk.
Our portfolio will be different to yours because factors such as our risk appetite will undoubtedly differ. Our portfolio has been closely modelled using the scheme below. You can use it too when constructing your own long-term cryptocurrency portfolio.
Bitcoin (50%) – When speaking about cryptocurrencies, it means speaking of Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the base asset for the other alternative coins, and is the primary decentralized crypto currency. Bitcoin was created by Satoshi Nakamoto back in 2009. Bitcoin is designed to function just like physical currency, which transfers value, and as time goes on more places accept Bitcoin as a legitimate way of payment.
Because we believe the cryptocurrency market to be quite volatile, having a defensive portfolio to counter that volatility is good. 50% of my portfolio is low risk (compared to crypto risk management), which means that it will be holding Bitcoin for the long term, because it has a lot of longevity. It is the oldest cryptocurrency in the space, and is the first coin that newcomers are likely to invest in because of the exposure it regularly gets in the press.
Bitcoin Cash (5%) – Bitcoin Cash is similar to Bitcoin in that it too is supposed to be a currency that is dedicated to serving as a medium for the purchase of various goods and services. The key difference between Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin is that the former has an 8MB block size, whereas Bitcoin has a 1MB block size. A bigger block size allows Bitcoin Cash to process transactions faster than Bitcoin, and at a lower fee.
Looking at the price movements of Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin, they are uncorrelated, so when the price of Bitcoin moves upwards, the price of Bitcoin Cash tends to dip even more, and vice versa. This strategy means that we can offset the risk of any adverse price movements in our portfolio.
Ethereum (15%) – Ethereum is different to Bitcoin in that its sole purpose is not to be used as a medium of value exchange. Instead, Ethereum allows developers to build dApps using smart contracts. The tradeable currency of the Ethereum project is known as Ether.
Litecoin (10%) – Litecoin is often marketed as being the silver to Bitcoin's gold status. Being a hard fork of Bitcoin, Litecoin shares many similarities to the original coin; Litecoin can also be used as a value exchange coin. However, Litecoin's block generation time of 2.5 minutes, compared to Bitcoin's 10 minutes, and different hashing algorithm (Scrypt), are features designed to produce a more innovative blockchain and cryptocurrency.
Monero (10%) – Monero is similar to Bitcoin in that it allows value exchange. However, Monero differs from Bitcoin in that it is focused on providing greater privacy to those that utilize their blockchain, using their stealth address mechanism. Anonymity is likely to become more and more important in a world where Bitcoin addresses can be traced. As more regulation starts entering the cryptocurrency space, an increasing number of individuals will gravitate towards privacy coins such as Monero, Zcash and Dash, that can mask their transaction activities.
Zcash (10%) – Like Monero, Zcash is a privacy coin that is focused on ensuring that user anonymity is well protected when transactions occur on the network. Zcash does this by leveraging its zero-knowledge proof constructions known as zk-Snarks, which allows users to exchange information without revealing their identities.
Investing in the cryptocurrency market is exhilarating, but it is also important to make sure your cryptocurrency is secure; there are too many stories of cryptocurrency funds being stolen because of lax security. Hardware wallets are the best way to protect your cryptocurrency, and this article provides more information on hardware wallets and how you can get secured.
It is an exciting time to get involved in cryptocurrency investing. It is a new asset class that is currently delivering better returns than the traditional markets (as of writing these lines). However, it is also important to have a strategy. Not having an investment plan for cryptocurrency investing, or any other market for that matter, can result in heavy loss of your funds. A long-term investment approach is just one strategy that you can choose to adopt. You can even vary the long-term investment approach to suit your own style. The most important thing is to have a plan for each scenario that might happen.
