Syria's Kurds declare de-facto federal region in north
ZEINA KARAMMarch 17, 2016 GMT
BEIRUT (AP) — Syria's Kurds on Thursday declared a de-facto federal region in Kurdish-controlled areas of northern Syria, drawing sharp condemnation from both the Damascus government and its opponents who decried the unilateral move as unconstitutional and setting a dangerous precedent.
The declaration further complicates the situation on the ground in Syria even as peace talks press ahead in Geneva. The main Syrian Kurdish party has been excluded from those talks — perhaps an indication of why the Kurds chose this particular moment for their move.
In Syria's civil war, Kurdish fighters have emerged as the most effective fighting force against the Islamic State group and are backed militarily by the United States. More recently, Russia has backed them politically.
But despite Russia's insistence that they should be part of the talks that started this week in Geneva, they have not been invited because Turkey considers the group to be a terrorist organization.
"Everybody rhetorically appreciates the Kurds, they all acknowledge the Kurdish fight against ISIS and that they are great warriors, but this is not being reflected in the diplomatic spectrum," said Mutlu Civiroglu, a Washington-based Kurdish affairs analyst, using an alternative acronym for the Islamic State group.
Thursday's announcement triggered fears that a Kurdish federal unit would lead to a partition of the war-shattered country — a formula that may make sense in principle after five years of devastating fighting but one that would be messy and unpalatable to most parties.
Some 200 Kurdish officials, who met in the town of Rmeilan in Syria's predominantly Kurdish province of Hassakeh, insisted they are not partitioning Syria nor seeking secession — but rather making sure the country remains one nation.
"A federal and democratic Syria is a guarantee of coexistence and brotherly relations," said an online posting from the conference.
Nawaf Khalil, an official with the Democratic Union Party, or PYD, said participants at the Rmeilan meeting included Turkmen, Arabs, Christian and Kurds.
They all approved a "democratic federal system for Rojava-Northern Syria," he said. Rojava is a Kurdish word that refers to three distinct enclaves, or cantons, under Kurdish control in northern Syria: Jazira, Kobani and Afrin.
The Kurds, a longtime oppressed minority under decades of Assad family rule, have taken advantage of the chaos of the civil war to advance their goals of autonomy. After overstretched government troops withdrew from Kurdish areas to focus on fighting insurgents in other parts of the country, they declared their own civil administration in those three areas in 2013.
It was not immediately clear how the declaration of a federal region would change the situation on the ground.
"The idea of a decentralized Syria is becoming every day more and more common," said Civiroglu, the analyst. "I see that it can be a real system for all of Syria in the future, something tried on the ground."
Syria's Foreign Ministry rejected the move, describing it as "unconstitutional and worthless" and warned against any attempt to encroach upon the integrity of Syrian territory.
The Syrian National Coalition, one of the main Syrian opposition groups, also said it rejects such unilateral declarations and warned of any attempt to form autonomous regions that "confiscate the will of the Syrian people."
The idea of a federal region appears to have gained some traction lately as world and regional powers grapple with ways to end the conflict.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov this week said a federal system is one possible option if the Syrian people agree to it. The United States has also been an ardent supporter of the Kurds in Syria and in the wider region but has not commented on Thursday's declaration. Turkey said Wednesday that such unilateral moves carry no validity, but did not comment Thursday.
The plan could make sense in a country that has a multitude of sectarian and ethnic minorities for whom it would be difficult to share a unifying national sentiment.
But Syria's war, with its changing front lines, has also created a geographical chaos.
The government, dominated by President Bashar Assad's Alawite sect of Shiite Islam, controls Damascus, the Alawite heartland along the Mediterranean coast, and other cities and connecting corridors in between. The Kurds run their own affairs in the northeast.
The militants of the Islamic State group control much of the Sunni heartland in the east. Other Sunni rebels control pockets in the north and south. Members of the Muslim minority Druse, who make up about 5 percent of Syria's prewar population of 23 million, have also started talking about autonomy in their southern areas.
But any move to carve up the country could risk yet more violence, including ethnic or sectarian cleansing.
Kurds control an area along the Turkish border stretching from eastern Syria, near the Iraqi border, to Afrin in the west, interrupted only by a stretch of territory controlled by the Islamic State group.
"Only a Kurdish federal region is definitively possible since the Kurds control most of their territories in Kobani and the Hassakeh province," said Wladimir van Wilgenburg, a political analyst with Jamestown Foundation specializing in Kurdish politics.
"The only problem they have is that they have not connected nor linked their administrations from Kobani up to Afrin," he added.
Meanwhile, the U.N. envoy for Syria emerged from the fourth day of peace talks in Geneva to tell reporters that significant gaps remain between the two sides.
Staffan de Mistura said he'd host both sides separately on Friday to accelerate the process. He said there were "no discussions about federalism" — a reference to the Syrian Kurdish declaration.
In other developments, 61 trucks with aid from the International Committee of the Red Cross and the United Nations began entering four areas besieged by government forces and insurgents, said ICRC spokesman Pawel Krzysiek.
The U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, or OCHA, said on its Twitter account that aid is on the way to the rebel-held towns of Madaya Zabadani, near the border with Lebanon, and the government-held villages of Foua and Kfarya in the northwestern Idlib province.
A U.N. aid official, Jan Egeland, said the world body has given the Syrian government its plan to deliver humanitarian aid to 1.1 million Syrians by the end of April. But he said Damascus still has not granted authorization for aid to six of 18 priority areas the U.N. hopes to reach.
From Moscow, Vladimir Putin warned that despite the Russian drawdown in Syria — a surprising move the Russian president announced this week to bolster the Geneva talks — Russia can again build up its forces "in a few hours" in the Mideast country if necessary.
Putin said that Russia has kept some forces in Syria to support the Syrian army's action against militant groups and would continue striking them.
The statement underlined Russia's intention to maintain a strong military presence in Syria to keep its gains after a five-and-a-half-month air campaign that has helped turn the tide of war and allowed Assad's forces to make significant advances.

Organization: Saratov State Medical University n.a. V.I. Razumovsky Research Institute of Cardiology
The purpose of the review is to characterize existing in open access bibliographical databases such as eLibrary and PubMed evidence on clinical impact of morphometric platelet indices as markers of platelet aggregation ability and turnover as a methodology and theoretical framework of further investigation. Studies results were pooled from open access bibliographic databases (eLibrary, and PubMed) according to modified PRISMA algorithm. Relevant studies were identified by systematic searches of the original studies published during the last 10 years in the Russian and English languages. Results of 96 original studies in accordance with inclusion criteria were published during the last 10 years in scientific journals indexed in eLibrary, and PubMed. The majority of publications (64.58%) consist of evidence pro diagnostic and prognostic significance of platelet indices. Studies demonstrating the significance of platelet indices as possible risk markers of thrombotic events in cardiovascular patients were predominating among "pro" publications. In 15.63% published results contradict concept of platelet indices usefulness as diagnostic and prognostic markers in clinical practice. Morphometric platelet indices can be considered as useful diagnostic and prognostic markers of thrombotic events in cardiovascular patients. Existing gaps in evidence suggest the need of further investigations.

Authors: Andreeva E.l.
Organization: Stavropol State Medical University
Aim: to study the clinical course of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in patients with type 2 diabetes and evaluation of the parameters of the esophagus 24-hour pH-metry. Material and Methods. In the examination of patients with GERD, three groups of patients were selected for 50 people each. The first group includes patients with GERD with combined course of obesity and type 2 diabetes (mean age 54.6±2.73 year; 32 females and 18 males). The second group included patients with GERD against obesity (mean age 42.3±2.11 year; 30 females and 20 males). The control group consisted of patients with GERD without excess body weight and concomitant pathology (average age43.6±2.11 year; 29 females and 21 males). In addition to collecting complaints and anamnesis, the patients and the control group underwent a 24-hour pH-metric study of the esophagus according to a conventional method. Results. Patients suffering from GERD in the background of type 2 diabetes have a clinically asymptomatic or asymptomatic course; there is a significant increase in the daily pH-metry, indicating a more pronounced nature of the changes. Conclusion. Patients suffering from GERD in the background of type 2 diabetes require a comprehensive examination of the upper digestive tract to identify GERD, even if there are no complaints characteristic of the disease.

Interdisciplinary aspects of rehabilitation of patients with oncological diseases in non-terminal situation of the disease
Heading: Health Service Organization Article type: Review
Authors: Shmerkevich А.В., Vodolagin A.V., Balakina D.D.
Medical social rehabilitation of patients with oncological diseases in the non-terminal stage of the disease is based on the principle of an interdisciplinary approach, which involves complex special treatment, providing patients and their families with various types of social and psychological support at all stages of specialized care. The authors of the review consider the solution of medical and social problems in the rehabilitation of patients with oncological diseases in the context of the synergistic effect. Weak social and psychological protection of patients with oncological pathology adversely affects the prognosis of the disease and worsens patients quality of life. The review provides evidence that patients who receive social support are best adapted to the cancer situation, while a lack of social support is a significant risk factor for increased mortality in cancer patients.

Ready-made reunion dinners come into vogue in China

BEIJING — Diners in China turned to ready-made dishes for their annual reunion dinners on the eve of the Lunar New Year holiday, as busy schedules and new offerings from restaurants and supermarkets prompt a shift in traditions.
The reunion, on Monday this year, is customary for many Chinese-speaking communities around the world. Families traditionally get together for a freshly prepared feast to mark the end of a year and welcome another.
But in China ready-made dishes or meals, which are pre-prepared and can be warmed up in a few minutes, are now coming into fashion as time-starved urbanites seek quick solutions. Shortcuts are especially welcome for complicated traditional dishes like braised "Dongpo Pork Elbow" or "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall," a meat-and-seafood stew that can require up to 30 ingredients.
Concerns over COVID-19, due to a spate of new clusters, are also prompting some families to avoid holding reunion dinners at restaurants.
"Last year I had to spend days to prepare the New Year Eve dinner," said Li Wei, a 32-year-old teacher who decided to pre-order dishes for her family's reunion dinner from a well-known Beijing restaurant.
"I learned from media reports that ready-made dishes are popular, and that sounds a perfect solution to me as I am not a good cook anyway."
Supermarkets and restaurants are rushing to meet the demand.
Alibaba Group's Freshippo supermarket chain is offering Lunar New Year ready-made meal sets priced from 688 yuan ($108.17) to as much as 3,888 yuan ($611.42), and Dingdong Maicai, another fresh-food delivery platform, sells easy-to-cook dishes for the holiday, such as sweet rice pudding.
Earlier this month, the Shanghai Restaurants Cuisine Association said places it recommended for takeaway or delivery of Spring Festival meals had more than tripled to 1,616 restaurants, from 434 last year.
In Beijing on Monday afternoon, staff at the Red Chamber restaurant packed braised lobster into takeaway boxes as customers arrived to pick up their orders.
"Due to the pandemic, a certain proportion of our customers want to have their reunion dinners at home," said Jack Zhang, deputy director of food and beverage at hotel China World Summit Wing, Beijing which houses the Red Chamber restaurant. "So our sales performance is still steady and growing."

Illinois Bird Removal Company provides commercial bird control and bird removal for residential customers in Wheeling , IL. At our company we can handle any type of removal control problem, many services provided! Our Wheeling bird removal pros provide a complete solution fast, safe and clean.
That's why we work with you to inspect your property, the type of bird, and their habits to determine the best solution. If the piping is exposed it is the perfect cubby for a variety of critters, especially birds. This is one DIY project that you should skip. We provide a variety of effective bird removal services to prevent and deter birds from infesting your home or building. They probably invite all the neighborhood girl pigeons to come and "hang out" in there too. This allows the starling parents to easily locate their babies and continue to feed them until they are ready to fly on their own. Strong, tough, burly, manly men. Habitat modification usually is the best long-term solution to bird control. Once the babies have been retrieved, they are placed inside a protective container with some of the nesting material we have collected from the vent. That's why when birds come calling you should call on us. In this article we will review what we consider the proper steps to follow to best eliminate this very common problem.
When operations take place for a longer period in unpredictable patterns, the birds will consider the area as unsafe and avoid it. Actually the point to understand here is that birds have a strong and very well developed nervous system and for them reaching the place of interest is never difficult so even if you are going to release them at a far off place they are going find their way back easily. In all cases it is strongly recommended that keeping birds trapped inside a cage is not going to work in your favor no matter what the main cause is. Wire barriers are best for long, uninterrupted ledges and are effective in areas where gel applications aren't enough. You then run the fish in and out of the vent pipe until all the debris comes out, you can turn the vent fan on to help dislodge the nesting, however be careful, it can all break free at once and blow into your eyes. The alternatives will largely depend on the area where the pigeons are causing the problems. Given their location off the ground away from predators and their enclosed protection from the elements, vents are attractive places for birds to build nests. Allowing birds to congregate around these exhausts is especially dangerous because the humidity released by showers and other bathroom activities incubate the growth of histoplasmosis fungus found in bird droppings. In fact, the mere presence of birds can be cause for audit failure or inspection, leading to shutdowns and lost revenue. Once you find the nesting and other obstructions, you can then purchase a "fish". You simply extend the hook and line into the pipe, and run the fish in and out of the piping until all the nesting and other debris comes out.
Their droppings can stain and rot building materials as well as create unhealthy living conditions for residents. This can be found in the electrical isle from the same big box store. Expensive repairs and constant cleaning do nothing to solve the problem. The Rentokil Steritech Integrated Bird Management solves your nuisance bird issues through an innovative and comprehensive approach of trapping, removal, and targeted exclusion techniques in critical areas. Their bright colours and unique songs make them a welcome sight in any backyard. Their droppings may create slip and fall hazards, spread disease and damage property. Alternatively, if the pigeon infestation is within the building such as in an attic, there are exclusion measures and repairs that can be used to get the pests out of your home or commercial building. Your vent might be damaged. Laundry, bathroom, and kitchen vents appeal to birds for different reasons, but the problems that arise as the result of birds living and getting trapped in these openings are similar. The vent pipes that the birds infest are usually the upper floor bathroom exhaust vents and dryer vents. Seagulls can feed on food-plants, and they roost and nest on large flat roofs with crushed stone.

In the opening chapters of the Bible it becomes apparent there are two ways of life – the "give" way and the "get" way. This powerful theme is followed through in the rest of the Bible -- in the Words of God, in the words and examples of His servants. We see the opposite of the "give" way -- the "get" way -- in the lives of those who lived in disobedience to God and reaped the consequence of the devil's way.
When God calls us He draws us to His way of life in a very ingenious way. He demonstrated the "give" way to us in the most convincing way He could. He "gave" His only begotten Son, that "whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).
The greatest gift from God was sending His Son as propitiation for our sin. He died in our stead and took the ultimate penalty of our sin in Himself. In doing this He demonstrated how great is His love, (for God so loved the world). There is no greater love than this, Jesus would say, than for one to lay down his life for his friends (John 15:13). Later, He gave His people the gift of the Holy Spirit. This is essentially the mind of Christ that infuses us with this new way of life.
God is the great giver. This is the best way and perhaps the only way to really teach us the "give" way of life. He does it to us first, without requiring that it be returned. There is no trade here. He simply does it out of, in this case, the deepest love that one can have for others.
The devil's way is to "get" for himself. He even became violent, the Bible tells us, to have his own way -- a way that, in his own demented way of thinking, would make him the most powerful being in the universe. It's not hard to see that because of the violence in the world that man has followed the "get" way. Those who are best at perpetrating violence falsely believe they will be the most powerful. The interest of others is not a part of their thinking.
The "get" philosophy will have terrible consequences. Jesus understood that the devil's way of life would mean the end of existence of humanity and was able to confidently predict such an end if He did not intervene (Matthew 24:22).
The mind of Christ is described in this striking way: "Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than themselves." This wonderful way of life is expressed further: "Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus" (Phil 2:3-5).
When we turn to God, we turn to His way of life. The example has already been given. Christ also said we are to "love others as ourselves." God indeed is the giver, and He will make it possible for us to assist others. But we have to be convinced that His way of "give" is the best way for us -- and others. Sometimes it takes sacrifice. In fact, it always takes sacrifice. We deny ourselves to do for others. The Bible discusses many principles about this way of life. We must be wise in what we are able to do, and all must be done in measure.
We live in a dangerous world and, as time goes on, we will become more and more vulnerable. There will be greater needs and our efforts will be needed in a variety of ways. We know God will provide a way for us as we pursue the "give" way.

The EU's €26 million campaign to sell itself
Commission proposal aims to boost 'understanding' of its political priorities.
By	Ryan Heath
Updated 9/9/15, 12:25 PM CET
European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker wants to spend nearly €26 million on a massive new publicity campaign to promote the EU in 2016, according to a draft plan seen by POLITICO.
The campaign would be the biggest-ever EU communications effort and is built around the theme of "A New Boost for Jobs, Growth and Investment." Its budget of €25.75 million is slated to be spent on a full suite of communications ranging from billboards to web advertisements, and possibly exhibitions and TV and radio air time.
The overall goal of the spending, according to the document prepared by Juncker and his vice president in charge of the EU budget, Kristalina Georgieva, is "To achieve a better understanding by European citizens of the EU, its priorities and activities; To inform and engage different target groups of European citizens about the EU's political priorities."
Since the onset of recession and economic crisis in 2008 the EU has become associated with policies that create financial pain. Alongside mounting Euroskeptic campaigns, this has left the Commission struggling to sell the public on the benefits of its laws and projects.
The funds required for the campaign would be pooled and spent centrally rather than by individual Commission departments, marking the latest stage of the Commission's increasing centralization of political decision-making.
The high price tag could cause at backlash at a time of budget tightening across the continent, but is billed as part of a "budget focused on results."
The money is available based on "spontaneous financial contributions by certain Directorates General," Juncker and Georgieva state in their plan. Currently in consultation between the various Commission departments, the authors hope to achieve approval from their Commission colleagues in coming weeks.
The new combined fund is considered essential to push a project like the Juncker Investment Plan, which is a top political priority for the Commission but does not have its own separate communication budget. The centerpiece of the plan is a fund that would boost investment in the EU by €315 billion over the next three years.
Commission sources told POLITICO that Juncker's team have insisted that the Investment Plan act as an umbrella under which other communications efforts sit, in order to explain an overall picture of the EU's policies.
So while in practice the Investment Plan's projects and impacts are set to feature prominently in the new publicity campaign, the Commission's accounting books will book communications costs to projects such as the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (€7.75 million) and the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (€3.375 million).
Operational decisions on where to buy media space, for example, will be taken by the Commission's communications department and be overseen by a "Steering Committee" composed of representatives of the departments involved in a given policy.
According to the 2014 Annual Activity Report of the Commission's communications department, contracts have been in place since June 2014 "for a corporate pilot campaign, operationalising for the first time a pooling of financial resources from different programmes." The goal is to reach 15 million Europeans in 2015 with the pilot messages.
A related ongoing campaign, "EU: Working for You," tries to simplify the complex ways of the EU into project-based case studies showing how individual communities have made use of EU funds.
The European Commission declined to comment on the new proposal.

The Palestinian terrorist, who perpetrated the deadly ramming at the Armon Hanatziv promenade Sunday afternoon in Jerusalem, did not any need any excuse to murder his victims. It's possible he was influenced by previous ramming attacks carried out by Islamic State supporters in France and Berlin. It is also possible, however, that he was influenced by recent threats from people close to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who warned that moving the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem — as promised by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump — would lead to an ungodly eruption of violence.
Either way, we must recognize that in Palestinian society — inundated with incitement on social media but also from its institutions — there exists a fundamental motivation to harm Israel and Israelis, and it only takes a little for this desire to bubble to the surface. The appearance of ISIS on the scene as a radicalizing element has enraptured a large portion of the younger generation in the Arab and Muslim world, only making this reality worse.
The terrorist attack in Jerusalem came a few days after U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry chose to warn Trump against relocating the American embassy to Jerusalem, as doing so would send the region up in flames.
Perhaps Kerry has failed to notice that the Middle East is already burning, for quite some time now. The flames have consumed Libya, Syria, Yemen and Iraq. But of all these places, which represent living proof of his failed policies, the outgoing secretary of state chose to focus specifically on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and repeat the same tired mantra that the region's problems are rooted in the fight between Israel and the Palestinians.
Kerry's advice to Trump not to move the embassy, therefore, is misleading and should be ignored.
Why is transferring the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem not inherently hazardous, and why is it possible to "sell" such a move to the Arab world? Because any reasonable person understands that doing so would not change the status of the city or the existing reality there in any significant way, nor would it cause a shift in Washington's fundamental positions on the conflict.
After all, Jerusalem is home to Israel's state institutions, from the President's Residence to the Knesset, and all foreign dignitaries visiting Israel, including U.S. President Barack Obama and Kerry, comes to the city to meet their Israeli counterparts. Can anyone seriously argue for forbidding a meeting between a visiting president and his Israeli counterpart in Jerusalem, because it could set the Middle East aflame?
Trump, therefore, can relocate the embassy to Jerusalem unperturbed and also make it clear that such a move, while necessary and natural, will not decide any of the fundamental questions pertaining to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, not even regarding Jerusalem. With that, it would be best for Trump to notify Washington's allies in the region and explain to them, politely but firmly, that moving the embassy is recognition of the reality on the ground, which Jordan and Egypt also accept. Doing so would help prevent any unnecessary emotional outbursts.
What Trump can learn from Kerry is that hesitation and trepidation are perceived as weakness in the region and invite pressure, belligerence and even a rejectionist approach. Russian President Vladimir Putin, on the other hand, who never sought favor from anyone, is respected and feared; certainly no one threatens to burn the region down in response to his policies.


3 members of RI congressional delegation call for EPA chief's removal Pruitt has vigorously denied any wrongdoing and blamed the accusations on political opponents of the policies he is enacting. Pruitt's tenure, she said, has been "part of the Trump administration's culture of corruption, cronyism and incompetence".

The screening in the Grand Amphitheatre Lumière at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes promises to be an event for all fans of the saga and everyone in attendance.
It does seem that Lucasfilm has faith in the movie given they are going to let it run at the film festival for almost a month before it opens to the general audience. Among them are Paul Greengrass' Norway; Jeremy Saulnier's Hold the Dark; and Orson Welles' The Other Side of the Wind, the newly completed version of a project the late director filmed in the 1970s.
As Fremaux explained, the controversial decision to allow Netflix to enter its films into competition was predicated on his hope that Netflix would secure theatrical releases for those films but he was disappointed when that ultimately didn't happen. In 2012, he directed "The Past" in French in Paris. Because Netflix originals don't play French theaters and are instead distributed directly on the digital service, that rule has barred them from the competition lineup. Unfortunately for Asghar, however, the news was slightly overshadowed by another announcement out of Cannes shortly after.
Nonetheless, the company had five films accepted to Cannes this year, with filmmakers planning to attend. It was announced in June previous year, and the duo revealed they were proud of what the cast and crew have created.
Netflix declined to comment, and representatives for Cannes did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
"The Netflix people loved the red carpet and would like to be present with other films". News that Netflix is threatening to withdraw its movies was first reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
The next film of the Star Wars franchise, based on the character Han Solo, Solo: A Star Wars Story is all set to premiere at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival next month on May 15.

Becky's Affiliated: A discussion with Calvin Ayre on today's BSV landscape
Interviews 18 April 2019
With CoinGeek Toronto just around the corner, I wanted to sit down with our Founder, Calvin Ayre, to get his thoughts on some of the latest topics surrounding the Bitcoin SV ecosystem and why our readers should consider joining him at the conference.

Craig Wright is Satoshi Nakamoto
Since the creator of Bitcoin, "Satoshi Nakamoto," revealed his technology to the world in January 2009, the question of who is behind the pseudonym has been a popular debate amongst crypto enthusiasts.
Earlier this year nChain's chief scientist, Dr. Craig Wright, confirmed he is Satoshi Nakamoto, and despite some backlash from the community, Ayre has publicly stated again and again that he is 100% positive Dr. Wright is telling the truth.
"Bitcoin was invented as a direct solution to government interference and people's ability to spend their money where they want to in the gaming industry. So Bitcoin actually comes from the gaming industry," Ayre explained.
"Craig's got a background in the gaming industry, I have a background in the gaming industry and one of my close personal friends from the gaming industry actually knew Craig, another Australian gentleman, when he invented Bitcoin," he said.
"Subsequent to that, I was introduced to Craig, and Craig has demonstrated in a number of other ways so that there's no doubt in my mind that Craig is Satoshi Nakamoto and Craig is going to be proving that in court this year," Ayre revealed.
Going to court to stop internet trolling
When asked for more details on going to court, Ayre explained that in an effort to squash endless digital trolling, both himself and Wright have engaged the same law firm to assist in obtaining relief and helping to set the facts straight.
"Essentially what [the trolls] are trying to do is defraud Craig of his own legacy and defraud the rest of the planet of the truth about the true power of original Bitcoin which is now, today, BSV," Ayre said.
"Craig is forced to go to court right now to basically stop the other side from lying. Craig is more than happy to defend his technology and that's where the conversation should be, but these attacks on Craig because he's overweight or because he's a fraud of some sort, that his university degrees aren't true- that's just not true. That's just not real," he explained.
"And no amount of attacking Craig for these crazy arguments is going to make their technology work. So these people that are conflicted and have interests in other technical platforms, that are threatened by the power of real Bitcoin SV, what they need to do instead of wasting their time unlawfully attacking Craig, is go back and fix their stuff," Ayre added.
Scale it and they will come
While there are plenty of opinions flying around Wright's reveal of his true identity, no one can deny Bitcoin SV's unique ability to scale massively which has been achieved in a relatively short period of time.
"It's absolutely true. I'm a business owner and entrepreneur, and I know for a fact that I would not invest in a platform for an application development if I didn't know it could already handle the volume that I anticipate from the success of my project. And that's just business 101 and that applies to the gaming industry and it applies to all industries," Ayre explained.
"In just a few months we've got a platform that can regularly mine 128 MB blocks and if you look at the other platforms, BCH ABC's largest block is 4.5MB, BTC Segwit is 2.5MB and Litecoin is 1.5MB and original Bitcoin, BSV, is regularly doing 128. We think by the middle of the year it will be 500MB and between 1 and 2GB blocks by the end of the year," he revealed.
"So I don't know what these other platforms are going to do, but to me, instead of attacking Craig, they should focus on figuring out on how to make their technology work because right now, none of them work," Ayre added.
Big blocks: Why should we care?
While mining several 128MB blocks on the BSV chain is big news for crypto enthusiasts, the average person out there may not understand the significance.
"Everybody's looking at it from a different perspective, but scaling solves all problems. It doesn't matter where you are," said Ayre.
"Scaling removes the incentive for forking, so the technology is not going to fork anymore, scaling allows the transaction volume that will create the financial incentive for miners to continue to mine which creates the security on the network, so the security is enhanced by the scaling," he said.
"Scaling gives the confidence to enterprise and start-up development to aim their application development at that network which is going to stimulate the transaction volume that's necessary to attract the security and at the end of the day, just like there's no need to be two internets, there will only be one platform. And that platform has to, by definition, be the one that scales," he added.
"So all these business models that you can dream of, that could possibly be done with frictionless micro-transactions on the internet can only be done on BSV and I think that everyone should applaud that, its going to make our lives better," he said.
Focus on utility, not price
Despite being around for 10 years now, plenty of people are still fixated on the price of Bitcoin (and other crypto currencies) and they often mistake a higher price for a superior technology.
"The prices of tokens out there today are artificial. They are not real. Fundamental, long-term value of a token is created by utility and utility only. All this other fluff, promotional fluff that's out there, or FUD, to me they're a bunch of Ponzi schemes, they're trying to talk people into buying these things to make the price go up," Ayre explained.
"Real utility, you don't have to promote it, it goes up because it becomes in demand because it can be used for something. That's utility and that's BSV, the only one that's got true, underlying utility. I think its significantly undervalued from that perspective and I tell people that if you are interested in investing, then you invest in utility, you don't invest in price," he added.
CoinGeek Toronto
Coming to North America for the first time, CoinGeek's next conference will take place on May 29th-30th in Toronto, Canada, this time with a special focus on massive on-chain scaling.
"This is the third [conference] I've done and I'm going to be doing lots more, the next one after this of course is in Seoul in Asia, and I'm going to be doing these around the world," Ayre confirmed.
"We originally started them to talk about different aspects of platform and it dawned on us that what we really needed to talk about is scaling because that's the one area where people that are supporting these other technologies that don't work are very confused," he said.
"Craig said [Bitcoin] would scale, Bitcoin was born an adult and now he's got control of Bitcoin again and he's proving that he was right and I think that's pretty much the end of the story," he added.

Jay-Z & Beyoncé Give Powerful LGBTQ Acceptance Speeches At GLAAD Media Awards!
Last night at the 30th annual GLAAD Media Awards in L.A., Beyoncé and JAY-Z spoke about their relationship with the LGBTQ community while receiving this year's Vanguard Award. In accepting the award, which recognizes "allies who have made a significant difference in promoting acceptance of LGBTQ people," the couple touted the importance of speaking up for those around you, as well as addressing "the stigmas in black families towards accepting queer black and brown men and women around the world."
After JAY thanked his mother, Gloria Carter, for her role in his 4:44 track "Smile," Beyoncé praised her uncle, "the most fabulous gay man I've ever known," who helped raise her and Solange. Her voice cracked as she added, "Witnessing his battle with HIV was one of the most painful experiences I've ever lived. I'm hopeful that his struggle served to open pathways for other young people to live more freely." Watch excerpts of the speeches below.
Other artists nominated at this year's GLAAD Media Awards include Janelle Monáe, Christine and the Queens, SOPHIE, Troye Sivan, BROCKHAMPTON, and Brandi Carlile. A second ceremony takes place in New York City on May 4. Last year, Gloria Carter was honored for her appearance on "Smile," in which she came out as a lesbian.

As long-term transitions continue around the increasing market dominance of mobile and cloud apps and the adoption of faster software development life-cycles, testers in 2016 are taking on an increasingly critical role in software organizations.
The mobile domain is growing rapidly. Mobile Applications cover mostly all domains from video streaming consumer app to highly secure banking apps. We all know that testing mobile app is quite a complex process. Android & iOS are the most popular mobile operating systems. App stores are setting higher acceptance thresholds, which places greater demand on companies to increase the breadth and depth of their mobile app testing, especially with regards to device and platform compatibility.
Therefore, a key trend in mobile app compatibility testing is the rise of mobile device farms in-house or in the cloud. The latter is increasingly popular as the matrix of models, OS versions, carriers and platform configurations continue to expand exponentially. Maintaining a highly dynamic infrastructure in-house is simply unattainable for all but the largest enterprises.
Mobile Application Testing is the process in which applications that are designed and developed for mobile devices (smartphones, tablet PCs or phones) are tested for its functionality, consistency, and usability.
Functional Testing: Basic type of Testing used to check functionalities of the application as per requirement specification.
Performance testing: Performed for testing client application performance, server performance, and network performance.
Memory testing: Mobile devices come with limited memory as compared to computers. This type of testing is performed to test the optimized memory usage by an application.
Interruption Testing: Used to check interruption due to incoming call or SMS, low memory warning, low battery warning etc. while running the application.
Installation Testing: Installation Testing is used to check for the easy and smooth installation process includes updating and uninstalling as well.
Usability Testing: As always it used to check efficiency, effectiveness, and satisfaction of application.
Best Mobile App Testing Tools.

The Wüsthof Gourmet 4.5" Utility Knife is precision cut from a single piece of Chrome-Molybdenum-Vanadium steel, into a blade longer than that of a paring knife, but more narrow than a chef's knife. The "in-between" length of this knife makes for highly versatile, multi-purpose use throughout any kitchen. Useful for small and detailed tasks with its compact size and pointed tip, the length of the blade is still long enough to handle larger work. Ideal for peeling, paring, slicing, mincing and cleaning vegetables or fruit, it is also well-suited for use with herbs or small cuts of meat.

Q: InvalidKey at Kraken API with JS, not with Python My code to get my Balance from the Kraken API does work in Python (based on the krakenex library), but not in the JS version (based loosely off the kraken-api library, but with the crypto library substituted for crypto-js). The error is always: Invalid Key.
Even when I copy the headers and the nonce sent by the Python client into Postman, I get Invalid Key.
I believe the signature and nonce to be valid, because when they are not, Kraken retorts that either the signature or nonce are invalid.
Is there anything else that Javascript's fetch does differently than Python3 requests? Because the body and headers are otherwise identical.
JS code that generates auth data:
const getMessageSignature = (path, request, secret, nonce) => {
    // API-Sign = Message signature using HMAC-SHA512 of (URI path + SHA256(nonce + POST data)) and base64 decoded secret API key
    const message = qs.stringify(request);
    console.log(message);

    const secret_buffer = btoa(secret);
    const hash = CryptoJS.algo.SHA256.create();
    const hmac = CryptoJS.algo.HMAC.create(CryptoJS.algo.SHA512, secret_buffer);
    const hash_digest = hash.update(nonce + message).finalize().toString(CryptoJS.enc.Hex);
    const hmac_digest = hmac.update(path + hash_digest).finalize().toString(CryptoJS.enc.Base64);

    // CANNOT USE ORIGINAL LIB CODE (Buffer, got and crypto not supported)
    // const secret_buffer = new Buffer(secret, 'base64');
    // const hash = new crypto.createHash('sha256');
    // const hmac = new crypto.createHmac('sha512', secret_buffer);
    // const hash_digest = hash.update(nonce + message).digest('binary');
    // const hmac_digest = hmac.update(path + hash_digest, 'binary').digest('base64');

    return hmac_digest;
};

Update:
In fact, the following observations are weird:

*

*correct key + correct signature = "incorrect key"

*incorrect key + correct signature = "incorrect key"

*incorrect key + incorrect signature = "incorrect key"

*correct key + incorrect signature = "invalid signature"

what gives?
Update2
Seems the requests are identical (other than the signature and nonce of course, which will and should change with every request).

A: Turns out it was the signature after all and Kraken simply doesn't give very accurate responses (which makes some sense, but is a pain if you're trying to figure something out). Finally I was able to rewrite the code using CryptoJS only:
const getMessageSignature = (path, request, secret, nonce) => {
    // API-Sign = Message signature using HMAC-SHA512 of (URI path + SHA256(nonce + POST data)) and base64 decoded secret API key
    const message = JSON.stringify(request);
    const hash = CryptoJS.SHA256(nonce + message);
    const secret_buffer = CryptoJS.enc.Base64.parse(secret);
    const hmac = CryptoJS.algo.HMAC.create(CryptoJS.algo.SHA512, secret_buffer);
    hmac.update(path, secret_buffer);
    hmac.update(hash, secret_buffer);
    return hmac.finalize().toString(CryptoJS.enc.Base64);
};

This yields a correct signature and Kraken no longer complains. Zzah.

Bacchus, the Thracian god of wine, represents not only the intoxicating power of wine, but also its social and beneficial influences. He is viewed as the promoter of civilization, a lawgiver and lover of peace–as well as the patron deity of agriculture and the theater. He was also known as the Liberator, freeing one from one's normal self, by madness, ecstasy, or wine. The divine mission of Bacchus was to mingle the music of the flute and to bring an end to care and worry.


The vacation bench of the Supreme Court today refused to quash the order passed by Karnataka by which the State had given preference to five-year, four-year and three-year in-service candidates regarding admissions in medical PG courses.
The Bench of Justices A K Sikri and U U Lalit refused to accept the petition challenging the order and said that it's the prerogative of the State to frame their own service rules. The Supreme Court accordingly refused the petition filed by Medical Officer of Krishnarajendra Hospital, Mysuru Dr Saikumar V and Dr Pradeep Kumar HD of McGann Government Hospital and Shimoga Institute of Medical Sciences who had challenged the rule passed by State with respect to admission to PG courses through Karnataka State PGET-2015.
Appearing for other successful candidates, Senior Advocate Amit Singh Chadha and Advocate Reuben Jacob submitted to the Court that MCI's rules permitted classification of the doctors, who were rendering their services at the government hospitals.
On the other hand, Advocate NIshant Patil, who had filed the petition submitted that if the classification system is allowed then it would deprive meritorious candidates.
The Court however did not agree with the contentions made by Advocate NIshant Patil and declined to accept the petition. It also did not agree to the contention that the State's rule was in violation of judgment in Sudhir N and Ors Vs State of Kerala, wherein the Supreme Court had held that merit alone should be the sole criteria for the admissions to post graduate medical courses.

Las Divisiones Este y Oeste de la National Football League, renombradas como las Conferencias Americana y Nacional en 1950 y después en las Confrerencias Este y Oeste en 1953, fueron organizadas como resultados de la disputa del Campeonato de la NFL de 1932. Los dueños de la NFL acoradron que a partir de ese año se llevaría a cabo un partido de campeonato, que sería jugado entre los equipos con mejores marcas de las dos divisiones, la Este y la Oeste. Esta estructura de dos divisiones o conferencias permaneció estable por más de 30 años, incluyendo la adición de tres equipos de la extinta All-America Football Conference en 1950 y los primeros equipos de expansión que se unieron a la NFL en la década de 1960 en respuesta a la American Football League.

My first op-ed for the USA Today appeared in last Friday's edition. The release of information seems to me to imperil the right to a fair trial.
The right to a fair trial is enshrined in the sixth amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It requires, among other things, an impartial jury. The courts have decided that an "impartial jury" consists of those who have no bias, prejudice or other preconception. The members should have no opinion at the start of the trial and should base their verdict only on the evidence presented there.
Finding an impartial jury – anywhere – seems to be difficult here. And I think Zimmerman, if convicted, will have basis for appeal.
I just don't know what the prosecutor was thinking here.
Previous Post Friday fun: what musical instrument should you play?
I agree. But it was readily apparent that this prosecutor had an agenda when she made the comment that it was her duty to seek "justice for Trayvon" — as if she knew the kid — utterly dismissing the uncomfortable and unfashionable possibility that he has already received all of the "justice" he was due.
The difficulty faced here is that Sanford PD and the local prosecutor initially did a very poor job articulating why they elected not to prosecute in this shooting, which was a perplexing decision considering that the detective from their major crimes division who completed the first investigation into the case recommended charging Zimmerman with manslaughter. The public reacted to this decision as well as to perceived (and in some cases acknowledged) missteps in the investigation. It is well within the public's right to react in this fashion, and it is indeed right and proper that they do so because there exists a public interest in ensuring the effectiveness of local law enforcement, and the public servants of the police department and the local prosecutor should be accountable as public servants. Moreover, the tragedy inherent in the precipitating event notwithstanding, it's good for the public to be involved as a stakeholder as legislators re-examine their self defense laws. Whether one thinks that Stand Your Ground ought to be abolished or preserved, public involvement in that decision can only strengthen the legitimacy of that argument.
However, at some point the idea of helping the public hold the agents and officials of their government accountable became conflated with the idea of holding Mr. Zimmerman accountable, and that's truly a mistake. Especially when it comes to criminal justice, the point is for the public to ensure that the government is doing its job to the best of its ability — that's generally what we call democracy — but when the public is instead encouraged to do the government's job for them, that's generally what we call a lynching.
The prosecutor is thinking of a run for higher office.

Morgan Evans announces debut album 'Songs That We Drink To' for October 12th!
3rd September 2018 3rd September 2018 Six Shooter Country
Fresh off his first U.S. #1 single 'Kiss Somebody', global Country star Morgan Evans will continue the celebration with Things That We Drink To, his full-length debut album with Warner Music Nashville / Warner Bros. Records.
Releasing October 12th, the project is a musical reflection of Evans' exciting journey since moving to Nashville from his home country of Australia.
Evans co-penned each track on Things That We Drink To alongside the album's producer, Chris DeStefano. The two played every instrument heard on the sonically diverse project, showcasing Evans' musicianship in addition to his adept songwriting.
"My album is a collection of songs that I wrote over the last two years," says Evans. "It's my story. It's leaving behind everything and everyone you know to chase down a country music dream on the other side of the world. It's the excitement of the unknown, it's the fun, it's the loneliness and it's the struggle. It's losing someone and finding the strength to keep your head up and make them proud. It's meeting a girl, falling hopelessly and marrying the love of your life. It's the 'Things That We Drink To'."
You can pre-order the album on Apple Music here.
