A new agreement on the transfer of EU air passengers' personal data to the US Department of Homeland Security was approved by the Civil Liberties Committee on Tuesday. The deal sets the legal conditions for the transfer of this data and covers issues such as storage periods, purpose of the data use, data protection safeguards and administrative and judicial redress. The agreement is intended to replace another deal applied provisionally since 2007.
Passenger Name Record (PNR) data are collected by air carriers during the reservation process and include, inter alia, names, addresses, credit card details and seat numbers of air passengers. Under US law, air companies are obliged to make these data available to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) prior to passenger departure. This applies to flights to or from the US.
The EU-US PNR deal was approved with 31 votes in favour, 23 against and one abstention. The EPP and ECR groups voted in favour. In a debate last February, a number of MEPs said that it was better to have an agreement, albeit not entirely satisfactory, than to have no agreement at all. The ALDE, Greens/EFA and GUE/NGL groups voted against, because they consider that data protection safeguards foreseen in the agreement do not meet EU standards. S&D MEPs were split.
Following the vote, rapporteur Sophie in'T Veld (ALDE, NL) explained: "The results of the vote show clearly that there are very strong reservations against this agreement. However, the US made it very clear that a "no" vote would be answered by suspending visa-free travel to the US. Many colleagues - understandably - did not want to make this sacrifice. But it is highly regrettable that the fundamental rights of EU citizens have been bargained away under pressure".
Under the new agreement, PNR data would be retained by the US authorities in an active data base for up to 5 years. After the first 6 months, all information which could be used to identify a passenger would be "depersonalized", meaning that data such as the passenger's name or her/his contact information would be masked out.
After the first 5 years, the data would be moved to a "dormant database" for up to 10 years, with stricter access requirements for US officials. Thereafter, the agreement says, data would be fully "anonymized" by deleting all information which could serve to identify the passenger. Data related to any specific case would be retained in an active PNR database until the investigation is archived.
PNR data would be used mainly to prevent, detect, investigate and prosecute terrorism and serious transnational crimes. Transnational crimes are defined as crimes punishable by 3 years of imprisonment or more under US law. PNR data can also be used case by case in the event of a serious threat or if ordered by a US court. The agreement negotiated by the Commission in 2011 says that PNR data could also serve "to identify persons who would be subject to closer questioning or examination".
Sensitive data such as those revealing the racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, physical or mental health or sexual orientation of a passenger could be used in exceptional circumstances when a person's life is at risk. This data is most frequently tied to a religious meal choice or requests for assistance due to a medical condition. This data would be accessed only case-by-case and would be permanently deleted after 30 days from receipt, unless it is used for a specific investigation.
Within 2 years of the agreement's entry into force, all air companies would be required to transfer PNR data to the DHS using the "push" method, meaning that carriers send the data themselves. However, in certain cases, if a company is unable for technical reasons to send the data timely, the US authorities could require access to the carrier's data system ("pull" method).
To prevent any accidental loss or unauthorised disclosure of data, PNR would be held in a secure environment protected with physical intrusion controls. Should their data be misused, EU citizens would have the right to administrative and judicial redress in the US. They would also have the right to access their own PNR data and seek rectification by the DHS, including the possibility of erasure, if the information is inaccurate.
The agreement will be put to a plenary vote on 19 April. If Parliament gives its consent, the Council will adopt a decision concluding the agreement, which would then be in force for seven years. If approved, the new agreement would replace the current one, which has applied provisionally since 2007.
If Parliament as a whole rejects the 2011 PNR agreement, the 2007 deal would continue to apply provisionally (its expiry date is July 2014). In May 2010, Parliament postponed its vote on the 2007 agreement and called on the Commission to negotiate a new text. So if the 2011 deal is rejected, Parliament might have to vote on the 2007 deal too.
The European Parliament adopted in October 2011 a deal with Australia on the processing and transfer of PNR data. The EU is currently negotiating a new PNR agreement with Canada.

Watch: Shipwreck Hunter Discovers 500-Year-Old Treasures
After 500 years lost at sea, explorer Vasco da Gama's Esmeralda shipwreck has been discovered. A team led by National Geographic grantee and… more
After 500 years lost at sea, explorer Vasco da Gama's Esmeralda shipwreck has been discovered. A team led by National Geographic grantee and shipwreck hunter David Mearns has excavated the site and recovered the infamous ship's remarkable treasures.
"This is the earliest pre-colonial shipwreck ever discovered. This is from the European Golden Age of Discovery when Columbus, Magellan, and Vasco da Gama are going around the world," says Mearns. His company, Blue Water Recoveries Ltd., in collaboration with the Omani Ministry of Heritage and Culture, found the shipwreck off a remote Omani island in the Arabian Peninsula in 1998. After extensive logistical planning, excavation began in 2013. Spending more than 1,000 hours underwater, the team recovered over 2,800 artifacts that help tell the story of this fateful ship's journey.
"There's coins, there's armaments, there's munitions, there's personal objects, there's organic objects. And we're bringing in archaeologists and other experts to study the entire collection, so it will ultimately be in a museum and displayed for the public in a way where you're really spelling out the entire history," Mearns says.
That history is monumental to the beginning of globalization, where East met West for the first time. Vasco da Gama became the first European to reach India by sea, establishing the globally significant trade route Carreira da India, or India Route. The Esmeralda was one of twenty ships in da Gama's second voyage to India, but this time the fleet was quick to use naval power to force trading relationships. Da Gama would then order his uncle, Vincente Sodré, to take a fleet of ships—including the Esmeralda—to protect Portuguese factories along the Indian coast. Sodré decided to take the squadron to loot Arab ships instead.
Sodré's squadron ended up on the Omani island of Al Hallaniyah and remained there "for quite a number of weeks, possibly two months, making repairs and things," Mearns says. "The locals who lived on the island knew the weather patterns and said, 'Listen, a storm is coming. It's best that you go to the leeward protected side of the island.' The Portuguese being quite arrogant said that, 'You know, we've got very strong iron anchors, we'll be okay.' And sure enough, the storm came and wrecked this ship and Vincente and all of his crew died."
The Esmeralda's colorful history continues to come to life as Mearns' team pieces together the ship's story artifact by artifact. This became an urgent story to tell as the once remote region of Al Hallaniyah began experiencing infrastructure development to support tourism. "We could actually see the road being carved through the rocky terrain and explosives were going off as we're diving. We're seeing big booms and rocks being thrown everywhere and big clouds of smoke. This road is ready to be built right to our site. Anybody could drive down and start diving around and take these artifacts," says Mearns. "That made the decision for us that the excavation had to go ahead. Without having the artifacts together as a coherent collection they start losing their meaning and their importance."
One such meaningful artifact is a metal disk thought to be part of an age-old navigational device called an astrolabe. "It has the Portuguese coat of arms and an emblem called the esfera armilar, which is the personal emblem of Don Manuel I, the Portuguese king at the time," Mearns explains. "It is obviously what we'd call a high-status object because it has these two important emblems on it, but its function is not quite clear. These astrolabes are incredibly rare and, to have one from this early period, it would be the first of its type. Exactly what it is, people will ponder it and that will be the fun bit."
The ship's bell was also recovered and in remarkably good condition for having been stuck under a boulder in the sea for over five centuries. Believed to be the oldest ship's bell ever found, it is engraved with the year 1498, which "matched the date that Vasco da Gama found the sea route to India," Mearns marvels. "I'm not Portuguese, so I can't speak for the Portuguese people, but I would say that's probably one of the most important dates in their entire history, 1498. To have that on our bell was just a stunning discovery."
Coins may be a common object that comes to mind when thinking of shipwrecks, but Mearns' team found a coin that is anything but common. "One coin in particular, the Indio, was amazing because there's only one other one in the world. They call it the ghost coin of Don Manuel I," Mearns says of a coin commissioned by Don Manuel I for trade with India. "They were a terrific discovery and a very powerful dating device.
"To find something, whether it's 500 years old or 200 years old, that has a great story behind it—that's what's really fantastic about the Esmeralda shipwreck. It's an important period in history. It's connected with legendary characters like Vasco da Gama and Vicente Sodré, and—let's be blunt—a brutal period of Portuguese involvement in the Indian Ocean. But that's also one of the most colorful periods in terms of the history and this ship was at the heart of it."

Konica Minolta Recognized as #1 Brand for Customer Loyalty in the MFP Office Copier Market
Ramsey, N.J. – March 4, 2008 – Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. (Konica Minolta), a leading provider of advanced imaging and networking technologies for the desktop to the print shop, today announced that it was awarded first place in the 2008 Brand Keys Customer Loyalty Engagement Index in the "MFP Office Copier" category. Each year New York-based marketing consultancy Brand Keys publishes its Customer Loyalty Engagement Index, which surveys 24,000+ adult Americans to determine how brands rank in customer loyalty.
Brand Keys research identified Konica Minolta as number one in the "MFP Office Copier" category for the first time this year based upon the company's ability to engage consumers and create loyal customers when measured against the "ideal" office copier. The Brand Keys data paints a detailed picture of the category drivers that engage customers, engender loyalty and drive real profits. Brand Keys formulates the "Ideal" for the category by asking respondents to characterize their perfect product – MFP, major sports league, computer, pizza, etc. The result – the category "Ideal" – sets the standard for excellence within the category.
"Konica Minolta is honored to be recognized as the top office copier manufacturer for the first time by Brand Keys, which validates our dedication to serving our growing customer base with advanced imaging and networking technologies," said Kevin P. Kern, vice president, marketing and product planning, Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. "This award shows that our award-winning bizhub™, magicolor® and pagepro™ brands are ranked highest in the category for meeting customer expectations, and further intensifies our commitment to providing the highest quality technology solutions for our customers and business partners."
"At a time when providers and services are fast turning into "category placeholders", it is a testament to the vitality of the Konica Minolta brand that they are able to engender these levels of loyalty," noted Robert Passikoff, Brand Keys founder and president. "With loyalty comes both preference and profits and we offer our congratulations to Konica Minolta for this success."
Brand Keys can accurately predict which products and services people will buy in the coming 18 to 24 months. Since the early 1980s, Brand Keys has been developing and refining a proprietary customer-listening system that goes beyond traditional methodology, providing clients with measures that show where their brand equity lies, and what customers are thinking about.

I have suffered immeasurable losses. Sure, my losses can be quantified; their ratios rationalized to juxtapose the impressions left as scars. But the mass that weighs on my soul can not be scaled or justified.
Sometimes it feels like an endless battle, denied enough time to wipe the blood off our eyes before the bell rings. Perpetually caught in a whirlpool; digging and digging at the spiraling wall, never able to climb out.
The fortitude to fight such an absolute force seems futile. No matter how hard you paddle, you are just stuck in the same place, in the same current, still pulling you down the same path.
The brutal whirlwinds blind our eyes with swelling punches. We have no choice but to keep swinging in the dark; the thought of trusting the emptiness brings a feeling of vulnerability, leaves us open for attack.
Counter intuitively we continue to fight, connecting with our strength. Our struggles a testament to who we are and what we have been through, proudly branded as a badge to identify ourselves. Afraid to rip off the lamenting labels for fear we would be discarding a piece of our selves, we hold tight to our struggles; cutting our palms with handfuls of stubbornness. After all, this scar is evidence to the life that I have lived and the battles that I have had to face. Can't we see that our scars are reminders of our strength and not the source of it?
Neglected children, survivors of abuse, conquerors of cancer, they all earn a title belt as prize fighters. So proud of my stats and the strength it took to win all those bouts, I stood tall as an advocate for those who needed help fighting. This is the gift I can give the world. That even when I felt like giving up, somehow I always manage to stay upright in the ring just one second longer than my opponent. I was a heavyweight champion; skilled from battling the mass of my mistakes and regular reps of carrying those misfortunes around with me.
So I just keep spiraling down this whirlpool of sadness; caught in an endless washing cycle, ironically incapable of cleaning my wounds. Maybe, just maybe, the real courage and strength comes from letting go and trusting the fall.
In sports Kayaking, there is a maneuver called the mystery move. The kayaker purposely submerges themselves under water, spinning around in the current, and then pops back up above the surface down the river. This mystery move captivates me every time. Beneath the surface, the clash with the current slows and the kayaker dances with the flow of the water. A special place few are brave enough to know. These thrill seekers gravitate towards the whirlpools and strong currents; seemingly energized by the knowledge that a secret worm hole exists that will thrust you out on the other end safely.
Sometimes you can go around, avoid the pull; but avoidance only robs you of those experiences. You miss the rush from facing the obstacles in front of you. You miss the blanket of faith comforting your soul. You miss the reward at the end when you shoot out past your problems, more experienced and prepared to handle the next obstacle in front of you.
Sadness is a necessary emotion in processing loss. The tears lubricate the wounds helping them to heal. It's natural and essential to nourish our hearts with the spectrum of emotions, even the painful feelings. If you don't let them out, you will continue to carry them deep inside you, to remain hidden behind thick skin. To fight the fall only prolongs the inevitable and beats you up longer in the wash.
If the layers of grief are static, all you have to do is open your arms, lean back, and let gravity propel you through the painful process quickly. Sometimes it's more beneficial to stop fighting so hard and just let go, trust the fall.
Is it possible that depression polarizes a person differently? That instead of shooting out to the safe side of the spit, you are drawn to a bottomless black hole? The magnetic attraction to strong to overcome. Maybe that is the case. Maybe it's not safe for me to just trust the fall.
Our losses are seldom felt by us alone, even though it so frequently feels that way. Loss is hard on everyone. If you can stop spinning long enough, you might see that your loved ones are revolving around the same whirlpool, fighting to keep the same pain at bay.
So don't go it alone. There is no denying that love has the most powerful pull of all the human conditions. Together, the bond from your chemistry will be strong enough to prevent you from being attracted to that black hole. When the grief from loss and the struggle to stay afloat is just too much, grab your loved ones and let your attraction steer you towards a path of healing. Dance with your partners in the whirlwind of emotion and trot the secret worm hole to happiness.
Disclaimer: the worm hole to happiness may have a layover in Las Vegas. Be careful not to get stuck in the quicksand and detoured down the road to Fear & Loathing, Las Vegas.

Q: Cannot execute IEDriver or ChromeDriver through TeamCity BuildAgent on Windows 7 My team is looking into using Selenium 2 for our UI testing. Our UI development is being done by an external vendor (a topic for another time) and using the RemoteDriver(server/client) would be require more maintenance than productivity on our end.
My test project is a simple maven project where I try to launch a new IE(v8 - 64bit)/Firefox/and Chrome browser and see if it will successfully navigate to some arbitrary url.  It runs locally on my machine and on remotely on TeamCity build-agent user profile (go to the source project and run mvn test).  However, when I try to execute the test through the TeamCity console (web or through remote run on IntelliJ) I get the following errors:

My tests are setup using Cucumber-JVM and within the step definitions I'm trying to execute the Selenium drivers.  I was sure to follow the setup steps outlined on the selenium site and I am currently at a lost as to why the the project does not execute through TeamCity.
I'd be happy to send my test project if that helps with the troubleshooting. Any fresh insight would be greatly appreciated!

A: Did you set the path to the IEDriverServer and ChromeDriverServer? We are using IEDriver and ChromeDriver to run the tests using Jenkins. We have set up following properties in the pom file and IEDriverServer and ChromeServer files are placed at the root of the project.
<systemPropertyVariables>
  <webdriver.chrome.driver>chromedriver.exe</webdriver.chrome.driver>
  <webdriver.ie.driver>IEDriverServer.exe</webdriver.ie.driver>
</systemPropertyVariables>

You can see the these are exe files, because we are using windows slave machine to run the tests, if you are using the linux machines as your test runner machine then you can change it.

The nude photo exhibition Emily Ratajkowski wants shut down
Ros Brennan chats to New York photographer Jonathan Leder about the racy exhibition and book that Emily Ratajkowski famously slammed as a 'violation
Emily Ratajkowski has a figure that sends both men and women into a stupor. Feminine curves, supple lips, an olive complexion and an impossibly toned core; she has an extra-terrestrial sex appeal that sizzles off the page, and she damn well knows how to use it. While the model-turned actress' career is well and truly in the clutches of Hollywood, with titles such as Gone Girl and Entourage under her belt, one of her early art-house erotica shoots is coming back to haunt her, and she's not happy about it.
Fashion photographer Jonathan Leder's latest exhibition POLAROIDS at New York's Castor Gallery features dozens of racy portraits of Ratajkowski, taken in 2012 before she hit the big time. The exhibition coincides with the release of Leder's book, Leder / Ratajkowski Collector's Edition featuring 71 scantily clad and nude Polaroids from the infamous 2012 shoot.
Ratajkowski lashed out at the book on Twitter, in a post which is still pinned to the top of her feed, saying, "I've been resisting speaking publicly on the recently released photos by Jonathan Leder to avoid giving him publicity," she tweeted on Wednesday. "But I've had enough ... This book and the images within them are a violation."
"5 out of the now 100s of released photos were used for what they were intended: an artful magazine shoot back in 2012," she says. "These photos being used w/out my permission is an example of exactly the opposite of what I stand for: women choosing when and how they want to share their sexuality and bodies."
Ratajkowski's lawyers have since issued a cease and desist order in an effort to shut-down the exhibition at Castor Gallery. Jonathan Leder says any claims of a violation are 'ridiculous and absurd'. He shares his side of the story here.
How did the shoot come about?
Back in April of 2012, I received an email from a booker I knew at Ford telling me that she had this great girl named Emily she wanted me to shoot. She had sent a link to the package which included various swimsuit shots.
It was clear that this girl had something special, she had a great figure, and a more real girl look, than some of the typical NY runway models I tend to stay away from. Also, since I always enjoyed working with Ford, I decided to propose her to a couple magazines I was shooting for at the time. One of these publications, a Swedish magazine named Darius, was interested and basically gave me free creative freedom to shoot whatever I wanted.
Back then, I was shooting a lot of Polaroids, almost exclusively Polaroids, so I explained to Ford that I didn't have a budget, but if she would fly herself to NY and come to Woodstock, I would shoot Polaroids on her, and probably get them published in Darius.
Ford quickly agreed and we set a date for the shoot, May 25 and 26 2012. Emily flew herself all the way from Los Angeles to NYC, and then took a Trailways bus to Woodstock, where I picked her up on the afternoon of the 25th. (I want to be clear on that, because since her 'tweets' it sort of sounded as if this shoot was some sort accidental occurrence, that she was somehow confused about, when nothing could be further from the truth.)
So, I drove over to the town green, where the bus stops, and it was a lovely warm May afternoon and that is when I met Emily. She was nice, polite, more petite than I had imagined, very friendly and well spoken. She seemed pleased to meet me and excited to work together. She said she was a huge fan of my work and loved Polaroids.
Tell me what went down that night?
We drove back to the house, I cooked a light dinner, and we started to get ready to shoot. In terms of clothing I just had some odds and ends of things lying around. Some vintage Givenchy and Kiki pieces from other shoots. I wasn't too concerned about the clothing since part of the brief with Ford was that she would be fairly exposed.
I would say that within 30 minutes of taking the first Polaroids, she was naked. I had worked with over 500 models by that point in my career, and I can tell you that Emily Ratajkowski was one of the most comfortable models I had ever worked with in terms of her body. She was neither shy nor self-conscious in any way. To say she enjoyed being naked is an understatement. I don't know if it empowered her, or she enjoyed the attention, but I can say, out of the 100 or so Polaroids we shot those two nights, only in a handful does she have clothes on.
In any case, it was a great shoot. I mean a fun shoot. We had great time, good conversation, worked late into the night. We had a lot of discussions about music, art, the industry, the creative process. She was very pleasant to speak with, and very intelligent and well spoken , and cultured. That, more than anything in my opinion, set her apart from so many other ' models'.
The pictures we did those two nights came about extremely naturally. Very easy going. Sometimes on a shoot things feel a bit forced and you are searching for the next shot. Not in this case. Not at all. That was just two people doing a photoshoot the way it should be done. She got to perform, and I recorded it on film.
.She was neither shy nor self-conscious in any way. To say she enjoyed being naked is an understatement
Was she happy with the photos after the shoot?
Yes, very happy. She was the one who reached out to me in 2012, I guess at that point in her career her agency thought shooting with me would benefit her career.
Emily has famously called your book a 'violation'. Why do you think Emily is publicly denouncing the shoot now?
My guess is that she was under a lot of social and industry pressure to respond. Sadly,
our country has very polarised views about sex and nudity and women. Emily is undoubtedly a very intelligent young woman, who used her sex appeal to launch her career. Now, however, it is that very sex appeal which is holding her back from being taken more seriously as an actress. So, at this point in her career, now established as a household name, she wants to try to disown the very thing that caused her to become famous. I think it is very understandable. I also think it is very sad we live in a society where a woman cannot be both a sex symbol, and taken seriously as an actress, or human being for that matter.
Regarding her recent tweets, I don't have much to say. I think it would have been smarter for her to get behind the photos and embrace them. I know many many people love these photos and in my personal opinion, many of them are very beautiful. The people that love these photos are her fans. She looks great, and it was a special moment in time. In the end, the photos are very human, and I think that is what people respond to.
There are lots of articles claiming that publishing the book without Emily's permission is tantamount of the extreme objectification of women, what are your thoughts on this?
That's just ridiculous and absurd.
Your exhibition opened recently in NYC, what has been the reaction so far? There were whispers of feminist protesters turning up, did this happen?
The reaction was great! Were there protesters? No. Hardly. I mean not at all. The opening went very well. Good crowd and many people were genuinely enthusiastic about the photos. Quite a few women of different ages came up to me and were really enamoured with the photos. It was flattering.
Your images often pre-date the fame of your celebrity subjects, including Emily and Allie Leggett. Do you prefer to work with models who are lesser known to the public? Why?
I have always preferred to work with lesser known models. Something about working with the same model everyone else is shooting is a bit of a turnoff. I guess I prefer to take a more original direction. I really do prefer to work with someone unknown if possible. If they become famous later, sure that's great, but I don't want to be just following a trend. I prefer a challenge.
Why are you so interested in Polaroids?
The interesting thing about working in Polaroid is the fact that each frame is a one of a kind object. Something that can never be reproduced. It is different than having a negative, that you can make countless prints of. It is a tactile object in and of itself. It is also very beautiful in a way that normal film cannot compare to.
After this exhibition, what else can we expect from you in 2017?
Hopefully some more interesting books and a film.

Um bahuvrihi (do sânscrito बहुव्रीहि, bahuvrīhi, literalmente "muito arroz", indicando um homem rico) é um tipo de composto linguístico que denota algo especificando determinada ou característica ou qualidade que este objeto ou ser possui. Um bahuvrihi é exocêntrico, o que significa que este composto não é um hipônimo de seu núcleo sintático. Um esmilodonte (smilodon, do grego antigo σμίλη, smilē, "sabre", "faca", e ὀδoύς, odoús, "dente"), por exemplo, nem é um sabre nem um dente, mas um felino que tem dentes que se assemelham a um sabre.

Nos bahuvrihis do sânscrito, o componente final do termo é um substantivo, mais especificamente um radical substantivo, enquanto o composto inteiro é um adjetivo. O acento costuma situar-se na primeira parte (por exemplo, o tatpurusha rāja-pútra, "filho de um rei", é acentuado na segunda parte, enquanto o bahuvrihi rājá-putra, "que tem reis como filhos", é acentuado na primeira parte, bem como rājá-putra- (masc.) "pai de reis" e rājá-putrā- (fem.) "mãe de reis"). A única exceção ocorre com alguns prefixos não-substantivais, como o a privativo; o próprio termo bahuvrīhí é uma exceção a essa regra.

Bithumb will no longer allow withdrawals to unverified crypto wallets
January 26, 2022 12:01 am UTC, abdelaziz Fathi
Bithumb, one of South Korea's big four exchanges — alongside Coinone, Korbit, and Upbit — exchange is moving to block the use of anonymous wallets.
Starting January 27, the leading crypto platform announced that its users will not be able to withdraw their crypto assets to unverified private wallets.
Citing the need to ensure that customers are not using crypto for illegal activities such as money laundering, Bithumb users will have to register their external wallets with the exchange. This requires submitting personal information such as full name, email addresses, and mobile phone number. Otherwise, they will no longer be allowed to withdraw their funds held at their exchange accounts.
Bithumb, however, has indicated that it will accept withdrawals to external wallets that apply stringent Know Your Customer (KYC) verification. This includes custodial wallets at centralized exchanges like Kraken, Bitstamp, Blockchain.com, Bybit and Binance.US.
To the contrary, wallets that do not have their own KYC system such as MetaMask, Trezor, and Ledger, will no longer be usable for Bithumb customers.
The move comes barely a month after Coinone, also one of the "Big Four" crypto exchanges in South Korea, stopped withdrawals to non-verified external wallets.
Exchanges without qualifications face closure
Korean regulators have taken a series of measures to curb suspicious crypto transactions. For instance, the country's crypto exchanges are mandated to various requirements such as data maintenance, internal controls, reporting illegal transactions, and performing KYC to verify customer identities.
Less than half of Korea's cryptocurrency exchanges met a legal deadline to put themselves under regulatory supervision. However, they still face challenges such as risks from legal breaches and an inability to convert coins into Korean won. On top of these stricter rules, crypto exchanges must obtain a security certificate from the Information Security Management System (ISMS).
Industry experts estimate that more than 35 exchanges will discontinue their operation or reduce services. They will have to cease their service either because they failed to register with the nation's anti-money laundering body, or because they were unable to have real-name bank accounts issued by commercial banks.
Upon completing real-name verification and partnering with a local bank, digital assets platforms are required to acquire a license from the country's Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU). This is a unit of the Financial Services Commission (FSC), the country's top financial regulator.

We are learning about two subjects about modes and keys we play them in but before we kick off with all this let's first put our minds at rest. Sounds really hard and looks really complex, also very off-putting as you may think I am no good with all this theory stuff. It is not that hard to find the key centre just read what I have written and you be well on your way. As I try to keep it very basic without any fancy stuff and such like and it is just a case of remembering thats it.
Lets have a look at the following example. The numbers represent the chords for example G would be the first chord, A the second chord and so on.
Have you got the answer? If not then I will tell you the key we are playing in G Major why? Well is the C Major in the G Major key? Yes, it is the 4th chord. Is A Minor in the G Major? Yes, it is the 2nd chord. Is D Major in the G Major once more it is been the 5th chord and we end on G Major itself the first chord.
Sometimes we can work out the key the music is played in for example if I played G Major, D Major and C Major as you can see G Major is the key as it is the first chord but some occasions music may not start on the first Chord in our case G and can start on E minor so let think about this one. E Minor, D Major, and C Major. Okay you workout what key I was playing in?
Answer is G Major why? Well each chord I played is represented in G Major scale take a look at the chart when your first read the lesson. E minor is the 6th chord, D Major is the 5th chord, and C Major is the 4th chord. Remember Major, Minor, Minor, Major, Major, Minor and diminished But they is no G Major? Well if you can remember that we don't have to start on the G Major we can start off like I did on the E minor which is apart of the G Major, along with the other notes.
Pushing on a bit more as you can see we have been harmonized the scale in triads three notes chords don't worry about the fancy name yet. We now can build up four notes chords by taking all the triads plus on extra note and these are the notes we get now (Don't worry) all that changes is the sound of the chords they are all base in the key of G Major.
A little test what key do these chords belong to?
D minor, F Major A minor, this could be in the key of Fmajor or C major they both have the D minor,,,F major,,,A minor,, in them. Can you help me out ?

PS Plus March PS4 games leak from rumor
by Alan Ng March 2, 2015, 10:56 8 Comments
We are already in March, but Sony has still not revealed the official PS Plus March 2015 games lineup on PS3 and PS4 much to everyone's shock and surprise.
With that in mind, we are due for the announcement at any minute, but we could already have the information based on a new leak that has surfaced within the hour.
We can't treat it as 100% confirmed yet, but according to a image leak supposedly from the German PSN store, the PlayStation Plus March 2015 free games on PS4 will be Octodad and Lego: Marvel Super Heroes.
If it turns out to be true, then we have to say that it's fantastic news. Lego Marvel Super Heroes is a great game to play with friends, while Octodad is one of the craziest games that you'll ever play and is something of a cult classic after becoming infamous during it's PC release.
While we wait for a confirmation on the image, give us your reaction to these games if confirmed to be true. Put it this way: Would you be happy to receive Octodad and Lego Marvel Super Heroes for March, considering that Microsoft are offering Rayman Legends on Xbox One?
Leave ur reaction to this below.

With the current happenings in Christianity, there is a serious need for you to explain 2nd Timothy 4:1-5.
I too believe this passage is timely, so let's look at it 'verse by verse' using the NKJV.
Verse 1: "I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom." The apostle Paul knew that he was soon to be martyred for his faith in Christ (see verse 6), and before he seals his testimony in blood he gives Timothy a most weighty charge. Paul did so "before God," knowing that God would be watching to see if Timothy would follow through on this charge. He also gave him this charge knowing it was only a matter of time and the Lord Jesus Christ would return to "judge the living and the dead." He will "judge the living" at THE BEGINNING His Millennial Kingdom (see Matthew 25:31-46) and He will "judge the dead" at THE END of His Kingdom reign (see Revelation 20:5-15). As Timothy fulfilled this charge he was to keep the Lord's appearing and kingdom before him. This holds true for EVERY BELIEVER, for Paul's charge applies to us too.
Verse 2: "Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching." Timothy was to be constantly "preaching the Word." At times it may not seem to be fitting, but that it is just the enemy of our souls whispering in our ears, "Wait for a more convenient season to proclaim the Word." Our preaching will include CONVINCING (exposing what is false), REBUKING (admonishing those who are teaching error), and EXHORTING (encouraging God's people to remain faithful to the truth). All was to be done with LONGSUFFERING and TEACHING (with patience towards those who are caught up in error with a view of instructing them and delivering them from error—see 2nd Timothy 2:24-26).

How do I succeed under poor leadership?
I am sure everyone has had a boss, superior or customer who was a "Horrible Boss" and unlike Jason Bateman and Jason Sudeikis you have been unable to do much about it but quit your job or suffer under their leadership (or lack thereof). There are a few tips I've recently learned that I have actually started to teach my teenagers as this is good stuff.
Ask yourself, am I the problem? Let me explain, do you really know what you know? Meaning, do you have evidence supporting your conclusions about their leadership abilities?
Have you talked to them about the issues? If you have a problem with someone you should always address it with them first before and/or instead of talking to anyone else about it.
When you address it with them first, bring a solution to offer along with your problem.
Believe that you can influence your boss, superior or customer to grow their leadership abilities by being an example yourself of what good leadership looks like.

We know that a 'Blue Beetle' movie is in development and now it sounds like there is a cameo for the time-traveling Booster Gold happening in the film. With how early in development the movie currently is, it is hard to say this is more than a rumor, but it sounds to have come from multiple sources who would be familiar with the production of the film.
While the movie doesn't have a director attached at this time, we do know that Zev Foreman ('Colossal','The Zero Theorem') is producing the film while Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer is putting the script together.
There are multiple iterations of this character out there and the film is said to put Jaime Reyes, the latest Blue Beetle, front and center. Not only that, but Ted Kord, the original Blue Beetle, will be there mentoring him as he becomes a hero. As the original Beetle was good friends with Booster and had a series together titled 'Blue and Gold,' it wouldn't come as a surprise to see if that is how the time traveler is introduced here.
In 2016 we heard that a 'Booster Gold' movie was in the works but wouldn't be part of the DC Cinematic Universe. At this time it isn't clear if the 'Blue Beetle' movie is going to be or if the film mentioned above is still in development. Greg Berlanti has been cited as having a script ready or nearly so for the film that just needs Warner Bros. to sign off on and if that is still the case, this could have these two heroes taking care of crime on their own version of Earth.
Are you excited that progress is being made on the 'Blue Beetle' movie? Would you be thrilled if a 'Booster Gold' cameo happens? Do you think that this movie will take place in the same world as the other DC movies or in a new world entirely? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

The Bulwell partnership in Nottingham have concentrated on developing low cost, local one- and two-night camping residentials for primary children in order to make their residential experiences accessible for all. The programme is progressive, beginning in Year 2. In this case study, a Learning Away Coordinator from one of the primary schools describes how Learning Away teachers developed methods to evaluate residential experiences with children in the Early Years and at Key Stage 1, and how these were used by the Bulwell partnership.
As part of the Learning Away project, we were asked to evaluate the impact of our Key Stage 1 residential using focus groups and surveys. It soon became clear that, for Key Stage 1, these methods were not going to enable us to collect the type of data that we needed. The children were able to tell us what they did through words, pictures and actions, but they were unable to tell us why activities worked well or not, or what impact the activities had on them as individuals. We therefore had to create a new approach to evaluation that was relevant and accessible for Key Stage 1 children.
I joined a group of Key Stage 1 and Early Years teachers working on Learning Away together with representatives from York Consulting (our evaluators) and an outdoor educationalist specialising in the Early Years. We worked for a day to explore different approaches to evaluation with children in Key Stage 1, and went on to develop a plan for evaluating future Key Stage 1 residentials. We developed two models: Model A and Model B. Model A is a simple model that enables members of staff to collect the minimum level of data that we felt was required to evaluate the residential. 'Model B', is a more in depth evaluation which uses aspects of the Mosaic Approach, and can be integrated into the curriculum around a residential. You can read more about these models in the Learning Away Early Years and Key Stage 1 resource.
Each year, we provide a residential experience for our Year 2 classes. 30 children attend the camp for one night and two days. The residential takes place in Wollaton Park in Nottingham.
We had previously decided that the overarching aim of the residentials would be to develop deeper relationships between the children taking part, which we hoped would impact on improved learner engagement and achievement.
I opted to use Model B when choosing how my school would evaluate our residential. Given time constraints, we were not able to integrate it as much as we would have liked into the curriculum and ethos of the school, but will do this in the future. Even so, it provided us with a good deal of information and gave the children a clear voice of their own.
We identified a focus group of four children and collected some baseline data, including gender, eligibility for free school meals, any additional needs, attendance and attainment. This information was held alongside a pen portrait of each child written by the class teacher. In this pen portrait we chose to comment on things that were relevant to the aim of the residential: general background information; interaction with peers and adults; attitude to learning and school; personality traits; and preferred learning styles.
The staff involved in the residential ensured that they built in time for conversations with the children prior to going. This enabled us to build anticipation and talk through any worries. As the leader of the residential, I spent an hour with the children and involved them in the planning of the visit.
We began the session by pretending that we would get a magic carpet and visit the camp site. The children were able to engage in this imaginative activity and this provided us with an insight into what they already knew, what they wanted to find out and how they felt about the residential experience. When arriving at the imaginary site, we ran some circle-time activities. I passed a soft toy around the group and each child had the opportunity to talk about what they could visualise on the campsite. Their input enabled us to gain an understanding of their thoughts of what the residential and the site, in particular, would be like. We then went on to discuss how they felt about the residential. The children commented on any worries that they had and what they were excited about. I scribed the comments of each child including, in particular, the children in the focus group.
Next we ran an activity with the children to risk assess the residential. This is something that I had not done with children before and I was interested to see how they would take ownership of the task. In turn, we discussed any risks that might be present on the residential. We then decided what we could do to prevent these risks or what to do if one of them occurred. The children enjoyed this activity and I hoped that they would put theory into practice when they were on the residential.
After the circle-time activities, I gave the children the opportunity to draw a picture of what they thought the campsite would look like. Some of the children drew pictures of their friends and whom they thought they would be with on the residential. This provided us with an insight into current friendship groups and the children with whom they currently chose to interact.
Throughout the residential, various members of staff observed the focus group children in relation to the chosen aims of the residential. The evidence collected was in the form of written notes, photographs that we later annotated, plus audio and visual recordings. We were careful to record exactly what the children had said. I felt that this form of observation was similar to how we observe children within Early Years and Key Stage 1 already, therefore it was not difficult to prepare or execute.
We provided cameras throughout the residential for the focus group children to use. Their pictures enabled us to gain an insight into their perspective and what they felt was important about the residential. Some of the photographs they took linked directly with our aims, although this was not always the case.
We planned for the children to work in pairs to collect items for a journey stick. They discussed each item; we expected them to be able to talk about these items and why they felt they were important, for example, "This stone reminds me of a … because …". The staff also took part in this activity and modelled the process. We focused particularly on evaluating communication and relationships during this activity.
At the end of the two days, the children sat around the fire circle and took part in a reflective discussion that provided them with the opportunity to comment upon the original 'magic carpet' session. They talked about what they had expected prior to attending the residential, their present feelings, what they enjoyed or didn't enjoy about the residential, and the relationships that had changed or been created. We were able to link this evaluation activity directly to the residential's aims for the focus group children. Having taken part in the discussion, the children then made a postcard, drawing a picture that they felt related to the residential.
On return to school, the children were given a few days to reflect upon how they felt prior to, during and after the residential. They then wrote a message on the postcard that encapsulated their feelings. We carried out another circle-time session which was used to evaluate the activities that were carried out, revisit the risk assessment and consider how we would carry the residential experience forward. Within two weeks of returning from the residential, we observed the focus group against the chosen outcomes and added to the original pen portrait.
When developing this evaluation model, we felt that it was necessary to evaluate the long-term effects on the focus group children. We therefore observed the focus group children two terms after the residential, again in relation to the aims of the residential. Due to the time of year, new class teachers completed these observations. These teachers added to the pen portrait and completed data for the current term to compare to the baseline data. As part of my role as the Learning Away Coordinator in school, I met with the class teacher to discuss the pen portrait and the impact of the Learning Away residential on them, particularly in relation to our aims of improving relationships, engagement and achievement.
This evaluation model enabled us to gain a greater understanding of the children, how the residential activities had impacted on them and the reasons for this impact. The approach used was time consuming; however, I believe that the benefits of gaining such formative evidence far outweighed the time spent. The guidelines that go alongside this evaluation model clearly state that schools should be as a creative as they would like to be within their own setting and within their capacity limits. This advice is something that I would consider when planning future evaluation activities.
Model B required more planning and ideally it would have been integrated into the school curriculum and ethos. Our Key Stage 1 residential took place in June and we felt that it was too late in the year to integrate this into our school ethos and curriculum. We therefore completed the evaluation in isolation, in this instance. We look forward to using a more integrated approach in the new academic year.
